Kegiatan Lomba memasak wali murid  yang diselenggarakan di sekolah Brilliant Islamic   School merupakan bagian dari acara Pekan Event Azzuhra Group Spektakuler .   Event ini merupakan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat dimana Amik (Akademi Manajemen Ilmu Komputer) Tri Dharma berpartisipasi dalam melakukan penjurian dalam lomba.  Lomba memasak ini diikuti oleh wali murid dari 18 (delapan) kelas atau kelompok, dan setiap kelompok terdiri dari 5 (lima) orang. Adapun kriteria penilaian didasarkan pada beberapa unsur yaitu antara lain kebersihan, team work, plating dan rasa yang merupakan poin tertinggi dalam lomba memasak.  Secara keseluruhan event berjalan dengan lancar. Kemampuan peserta wali murid secara bersama-sama dalam sebuah kelompok atau tim dalam mahami apa yang lebih dan apa yang kurang dalam suatu masakan cukup baik.  Kemudian, bagi pihak sekolah terbangun kepercayaan dengan AMIK Tri Dharma karena mengundang pihak diluar sekolah untuk melakukan penilaian.  Terkait penilaian secara rata-rata,  menunjukkan bahwa peserta mempunyai kreativitas yang lumayan bagus, hanya terkadang terbentur dengan dua unsur lainnya yaitu kebersihan dan tampilan makanan.  Kesesuaian tampilan dengan rasa membuat makanan akan terasa lebih nikmat, serta dapat menggugah selera untuk segera menikmati makanan tersebut. Dilihat dari persiapan peserta yang belum maksimal, pada umumnya terjadi hal yang stagnan di dalam tampilan dan kebersihan. Tidak adanya variasi tampilan makanan membuat hasil makanan menjadi kurang variatif. Namun demikian, event lomba memasak ini dimaksudkan untuk menjalin silaturrahmi baik itu antara sesama wali murid, maupun dengan pihak sekolah maupun  AMIK  Tri Dharma.  Disamping itu juga,  melalui penilaian  bagi peserta merupakan koreksi bagaimana tindak lanjut untuk mengembangkan potensi yang ada dalam diri dan kerjasama tim.

The Emergence and Escalation of Online Racial Discrimination in Digital Spaces: A Systematic Review
Authors: Beard Karen Stansberry , Shortt Mitchell , Xie Kui
Published: January 2024

COVID-19 required educators and students to rapidly move to online learning. Simultaneously, while navigating the pandemic in lockdown, citizens were exposed to the brutal murder of George Floyd. The increased exposure to online activity and discrimination generated a hyperawareness of the potential link between the two. Our interest was to examine that linkage as we considered the prevalence and escalation of online racial discrimination (ORD) as a student phenomenon. Filtering for adolescent and young adult students, this systematic review ultimately employed 21 articles. Our results reflect that ORD as defined, changed over time, as did the ways it manifested. Importantly, the impacts of ORD on student learning and well-being were revealed. This review further indicates that the expansion of online instruction created a complex intersection between online social interactions and academic outcomes ripe for vigilance. Our work adds to the ORD literature while informing future education researchers, educators, and stakeholders of its harmful impacts.

Augmenting Predictive Accuracy in Pharmacological Mechanism of Action Models through Complementary Penalization Metrics and Variational Feature Selection
Authors: Rao V Abhijith Narayan , M Sanjay
Published: January 2024

Background: Despite the success of Deep Neural Networks in forecasting the therapeutic efficacy of oncological agents, the lack of explainability of their decision-making process is a significant challenge. They further grapple with two principal challenges: first, the inherent limitations of multi-class classification models, which tend to overlook the nuanced interplay of "pro" and "anti" dynamics intrinsic to the target classes; and second, the deterministic nature of feature selection, which fails to capture the stochastic essence of data distributions during the inferential process. Methods: We propose the construction of a composite, interpretable neural network architecture designed for the estimation of the Mechanism of Action based on a reduced gene expression profile. Furthermore, we introduce a novel ternary loss function that exploits the inherent relationships among the related MoAs, thereby enhancing the predictive accuracy and overall efficacy of the model. Findings: The model expedited the training process, reducing the computational time when compared with alternative tabular learning methodologies. It also demonstrated a performance comparable to state-of-the-art deep learning frameworks designed for tabular data processing, even when applied to a condensed gene expression signature. Moreover, leveraging gene expression profiles has enabled the model to predict Mechanisms of Action with a training dataset encompassing approximately 5,000 distinct pharmaceutical compounds. Interpretation: The proposed model effectively predicts the Mechanism of Action of a drug, while also allowing the assessment of the importance of the feature attributes. This method remains robust even when applied to a reduced dataset.
Christianity and Educational Development: The Nigerian Experience
Authors: Ilesanmi Dele Alaba
Published: January 2024

This study is an attempt to depict the contribution of Christianity to the development of Nigeria, particularly in the area of education. The work, however, portrays the giant strides Christianity has made in other areas, such as healthcare, language and human development, moral and spiritual development, etc. The major purpose of enumerating the contributions of Christianity to educational development in Nigeria is to correct the bad impressions that social critics might have generated and to disabuse the minds of some people who believe that Christianity has no appreciable contributions to nation-building. The paper argues that Christianity is not a mere religion but a metareligion and posits that Christian education is a systemic and veritable tool for national transformation and development. The research work adopted a historical approach. The findings revealed that Christianity has made more remarkable and indelible impacts in Nigeria than any other religion. The paper concludes with some crucial recommendations that require the urgent attention of the Nigerian governments, Christians, and non-Christians.
Men in Feminism: A Self-Determination Perspective and Goals for the Future
Authors: Moser Charlotte Elizabeth , Siegel Jaclyn Amanda , Wiley Shaun
Published: January 2024

Men can make important contributions to gender equality, but a variety of obstacles impede their engagement with feminism. In this paper, we propose a Self-Determination (Ryan & Deci, 2000) approach to supporting men’s feminist engagement. We argue that men are more likely to engage with feminism more consistently and effectively if they internalize feminist goals and incorporate them into their sense of self, i.e., if they develop autonomous motivation. We argue, further, that men are more likely to develop autonomous motivation if their engagement with feminism satisfies basic psychological needs for autonomy, relatedness, and competence. We suggest a variety of strategies to meet these needs, among them: framing feminism as a men’s issue, considering men’s viewpoints and values, portraying feminism as consistent with gender and masculine norms, encouraging positive interactions with feminist women, and presenting other feminist men as role models and mentors. According to bell hooks (1984), “...sexism and sexist oppression, they can only be successfully eradicated if men are compelled to assume responsibility for transforming their consciousness and the consciousness of society as a whole” (p. 81). Our paper applies Self-Determination Theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000) to encourage men to do so.

Published: January 2024

In this manuscript, we discourse concepts, issues and resolutions that call for conscious awareness in research on the unconscious. We discuss subjects that contribute to our knowledge of the unconscious as a concept. We discuss seminal historical episodes and episodes of controversial experimentation that are formative rallying points for understanding the polarity of contemporary attitudes to the unconscious in contemporary psychological science. We acknowledge the impact of historical controversy to contemporary polarisation, and proceed to show how the latter has resulted in methodological scrutiny, topical concerns and contributing resolutions. We provide empirical illustrations concerning how purportedly established and currently debated topical issues bias contemporary experimental research, and we provide empirical illustrations on how we can resolve several biases in contemporary experimental research. We examine the issues that have been resolved, the issues that remain unresolved, and most critically whether and the extent to which we employ and apply our conceptual findings and empirical advances in this area. We argue the importance of scholarly and scientific awareness for progressing to further topical developments.
Arctic Instincts? The Late Pleistocene Arctic Origins of East Asian Psychology
Authors: Sun David
Published: January 2024

This article explores the hypothesis that modern East Asian populations inherited andmaintained extensive psycho-social adaptations to arctic environments from ancestralAncient Northern East Asian populations, which inhabited arctic and subarcticNortheast Eurasia during the late Pleistocene, prior to back migrating southwards intoEast Asia in the Holocene. I present the first cross-psychology comparison betweenmodern East Asian and Inuit populations, using the latter as a model for paleolithicArctic populations. The comparison reveals that both East Asians and the Inuit exhibitnotably high emotional control/suppression, ingroup harmony/cohesion and subdomainunassertiveness, indirectness, self and social consciousness, reserve/introversion,cautiousness, and perseverance/endurance. The same traits have been identified bydecades of research in polar psychology (i.e., psychological research on workers,expeditioners, and military personnel living and working in the Arctic and Antarctic) asbeing adaptive for, or byproducts of, life in polar environments. I interpret this asindirect evidence supporting my hypothesis that the proposed Arcticist traits in modernEast Asian and Inuit populations, primarily represent adaptations to polar climates,specifically for the adaptive challenges of highly interdependent survival in anextremely dangerous, unpredictable, and isolated environment, with frequentprolonged close-quarters group confinement, and exacerbated consequences forsocial devaluation/exclusion/expulsion. The paper concludes with a re-examination ofprevious theories on the roots of East Asian psychology, mainly that of rice farming andConfucianism, in the light of my Arcticism theory.

Objective: Telemedicine is a tool to overcome the lack of access to health facilities in remote populations. The main aim was to assess a field of Telemedicine, Telecardiology in the management of acute electrocardiographic abnormalities in Ivory Coast. Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive and analytical study conducted from June 30, 2022 to September 30, 2022 which involved 19 health centers selected in the Teleelectrocardiogramm Project. Results: 529 ECGs were recorded. The prevalence of acute abnormalities was 52.93% (n=280). Atrial fibrillation, acute coronary syndrome, left ventricular hypertrophy and ventricular extrasystoles were the main causes of acute abnormalities. The presence of them was in older people (59.91 versus 54.95 years, p=0.00). Within 06 hours, abnormalities were diagnosed 70.86% of cases without any significant difference (p=0.056). Age class, gender, region of origin and blood pressure profile did not significantly influence the occurrence of ECG acuity. In 85% (n=238) of cases, the teleExpert recommended cardiological consultation via the interpretation platform (83.19%, n=198). In terms of follow-up over one month, more than half of the patients were reachable (n=174) compared to 38% who were unreachable. The main reasons were contactless files (67.92%, n=72), contact errors (13.21%, n=14) and the contact unavailability (11.32, n=12). Patients were informed about their remote diagnoses in 15% of cases (n=26). More than half of the patient evolved favorably (76.44%, n=133). Conclusion: Telecardiology contributes to the diagnosis of acute cardiovascular abnormalities for health centers without specialists. It can help primary care practitioners with immediate triage, which would result in early management.
Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner: A Marxist Analysis
Authors: Tharu Raj Kumar
Published: January 2024

This article attempts to analyze Khalid Hosseini's novel The Kite Runner from a Marxist point of view. As a metaphor, Hosseini has used the word "runner" in the title of his novel to speak about one of the classes of people in our society. There are kite runners who run around screaming as they attempt to catch cut and falling kites during the kite flying contest. By looking at some major characters and their roles, an analysis has been presented from the perspective of Marxism. Additionally, the article tries to illustrate how there is an unexplained form of discrimination that prevails even in a friendship between the proletariat and the bourgeois. Despite that friendship appears to be working well namely to say between Amir and Hassan. This article is a qualitative research work for which the novel The Kite Runner has been used as the primary source of data. The secondary sources of data used in this research paper are articles published on it both physically and virtually. The discussion and analysis presented in this paper indicate that class struggles exist in various forms at various times, depending on the thoughts and actions of those individuals who are naturally inclined to maintain some sort of distinction that they appear to place a high value on, regardless of the nature of their relationship.

Reimagining City Space from the Margins: Ambition, Exclusion, and Psychogeography in Kunal Basu's Kalkatta
Authors: Pramanik Avijit
Published: January 2024

This article discusses contemporary Indian novelist Kunal Basuâ€™s novel Kalkatta (2015), and seeks to understand the dynamic interrelation between city space and human beings in Calcutta in particular and in India in general. It explores the marginalisation and concomitant exclusion of non-Bengali people in the city under the ethnic domination of Bengali people and culture. A psychogeographical reading of the text suggests that the non-Bengali as well as the have-nots or urban poor in Calcutta suffer from discrimination due to an unequal distribution of resources. The setting of Basuâ€™s novel is Calcuttaâ€™sZakaria Street where cars fail to enter, young boys are trapped into gangs, girls fear slipping into prostitution, and mothersâ€™ dreams fade into harsh reality. Through investigating the lives of the marginalised in Zakaria Street as depicted in Kalkatta, this article critiques the corollary adverse impacts of unbridled urbanisation, whimsical capitalism, and the hierarchical power structure on the cityâ€™s non-Bengali community.

Second Language Acquisition and Digital Learning in Asia
Authors: Satomi Kawaguchi
Published: January 2024

This perspective article describes current situations, issues, and challenges on the second language education and digital learning, focusing on Asia. Twenty years have passed since the beginning of the 21st century. This century is projected to be the Asian century because of the growing status of politics, economy, and culture in the region which has become indispensable in the globalisation process. In this century, young students the world over are the digital generation, and undoubtedly it becomes increasingly essential for the educator to design an effective learning environment by incorporating digital resources to simultaneously take advantage of widely accepted findings in contemporary pedagogies and the second language (L2) theories. The present article discusses the theory-practice-evaluation link in language learning by highlighting some digital classroom practices such as e-tandem and e-movie production and explaining how to align the ensuring activities with pedagogical objectives. New technologies open up great potential for education, yet we need to overcome various challenges posed by the rapid pace of technological innovation as well as changes in the region’s political and financial status.
