Authors: Jeremy Lian Nainggolan  , Mobit  , Mansyur Srisudarso
Published: October 2024

This study explores the experiences and perceptions of senior high school students using the LingoClip app as a tool for learning listening comprehension skills in the classroom. Despite the recognized importance of listening in language acquisition, many students struggle with traditional methods of listening practice, often finding them disengaging and difficult. The purpose of this research is to investigate how LingoClip, a gamified language learning app, impacts students' listening comprehension skills and how it compares to traditional teaching methods. A qualitative research methodology was employed, involving interviews and reflective journals from a sample of senior high school students. The findings reveal that students generally have positive experiences with LingoClip, appreciating its interactive and enjoyable nature, which helps sustain their motivation and engagement. Additionally, students perceive LingoClip as more useful than traditional methods, as it allows for personalized learning experiences and caters to different learning styles. However, some students noted challenges such as frequent ad interruptions, which can detract from the learning experience. The contribution of this study lies in its demonstration of the potential for digital tools like LingoClip to enhance the listening learning process in educational settings. The findings suggest that integrating such tools into the curriculum can provide a more engaging alternative to conventional listening exercises, potentially leading to better language learning outcomes.
Serving two masters. Istria between Venice and the Franks in the 8th and 9th centuries
Authors: Pazienza Annamaria
Published: October 2024

The essay is divided into two parts. The first part portrays the Upper Adriatic, from Ravenna and Venice to the coastal towns in Istria and Dalmatia, as a unified peripheral area. Despite the shifting political context, the socio-cultural composition of the local communities shows similar features because of the ecology of the region and its common Byzantine legacy. Simultaneously, the institutional apparatus demonstrates a high degree of hybridization with the political regimes in the mainland. Some considerations about the impact of international policy on the area are made here. The relevance of the Treaty of Aachen is rethought, and the internal fights for power of the emerging Venetian elites are explained in the light of the building-process of an independent duchy where the control for strategic local resources was a priority. Drawing on older and newer literature, the second part describes the multiple connections between the newly established Venetian political entity and the Istrian peninsula. Patrimonial, commercial and institutional links are considered, and the twofold administrative dependency of Istria from the Church of Grado, i.e., the metropolitan see of Venice, and the Lombard and Frankish rulers is reviewed. What emerges is the agency of an unruly Istrian aristocracy and, above all, the on- and off- control exerted by the Carolingians. In this frame, and in the frame of the above-mentioned Venetian-Istrian connections, the essay moves on to considering the enigmatic figure of the duke John of the Plea of Rižana. In contrast to the traditional interpretation, set of evidence is provided in support of the thesis of his local origin. Even more so, the brand-new hypothesis that he might have come from the nearby duchy of Venice is put forward for future debate.
Representing the space of papal government at the time of Lothar I: the claim of fines Romani
Authors: Betti Maddalena
Published: October 2024

Studying the extent of the physical space over which papal policy was implemented between the late eighth and ninth centuries is extremely complex. The sources are ambiguous and difficult to interpret: the territory over which the popes claimed to exercise their jurisdiction was not necessarily that over which they actually managed to enforce their authority, especially after the fall of the Lombard kingdom; the practices of papal government on their territory are elusive and lacking continuity. Historiography oscillates between an either overplaying or underplaying both the papal political activity in this territory, and the consistency of papal policy. I will deal with the problem of the representation of physical boundaries of papal territory in the biographies of the popes included in the Liber pontificalis during the years of the Emperor Lothar I’s rule. Before doing so, I will dwell on the break represented by 774, the year when the lives of the popes lose their narrative sections and are reduced to a list of reports on building interventions and papal donations for the benefit of Roman churches. From 774 onwards, therefore, the action of the popes is limited to the Roman urban space. I will then deal with the lives of Paschal I (817-824), Sergius II (844-847) and Leo IV (847-855), to show how the authors of the three lives attempted, first covertly and then more openly and clearly, to address the question of how the papal territory outside Rome is actually defined in political terms.

Published: October 2024

INTRODUÇÃO: A pré-eclâmpsia (PE) e a hipertensão gestacional (HG) são desordens hipertensivas da gravidez que representam importantes causas de morbidade e mortalidade materno-fetais, especialmente em países em desenvolvimento. A PE é caracterizada por hipertensão e proteinúria após a 20ª semana de gestação, enquanto a HG se refere à hipertensão diagnosticada na gravidez sem proteinúria. Ambas as condições são responsáveis por complicações graves, como restrição de crescimento intrauterino (RCIU), parto prematuro e eclâmpsia, além de aumentar o risco cardiovascular materno a longo prazo. O manejo clínico evoluiu significativamente nas últimas décadas, com avanços tanto na detecção precoce quanto no tratamento, visando minimizar os desfechos adversos. OBJETIVO: O objetivo desta revisão é explorar as implicações materno-fetais associadas à pré-eclâmpsia e à hipertensão gestacional, além de discutir os avanços mais recentes no manejo clínico dessas condições. A pesquisa pretende fornecer uma visão abrangente sobre os mecanismos fisiopatológicos envolvidos, os fatores de risco e as intervenções terapêuticas que têm mostrado resultados promissores na redução de complicações. METODOLOGIA: revisão literária sistemática onde foram selecionados periódicos publicados entre 2010 a 2024 utilizando-se de pesquisas feitas nas principais bases de dados, sendo elas Scielo, BVS, Google Acadêmico, Mendeley e PubMed. RESULTADOS: a pré-eclâmpsia e a hipertensão gestacional estão associadas a um aumento significativo de complicações tanto para a mãe quanto para o feto. Entre os principais desfechos maternos estão eclâmpsia, insuficiência renal, síndrome HELLP (hemólise, enzimas hepáticas elevadas e baixa contagem de plaquetas), além de um risco aumentado de desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares crônicas. No feto, as complicações incluem restrição de crescimento intrauterino (RCIU), parto prematuro e mortalidade neonatal. Avanços no manejo clínico, como o uso de aspirina em doses baixas para a prevenção de PE em pacientes de alto risco, além de novas abordagens para o monitoramento da função placentária e o uso de marcadores bioquímicos, mostraram-se eficazes na melhoria dos desfechos. CONCLUSÃO: A pré-eclâmpsia e a hipertensão gestacional permanecem como grandes desafios na medicina obstétrica, com implicações sérias para a saúde materno-fetal. No entanto, os avanços na identificação precoce de fatores de risco e o desenvolvimento de intervenções preventivas e terapêuticas promissoras têm contribuído para a redução da morbidade e mortalidade associadas a essas condições.

Published: October 2024

A síndrome do ápice orbitário (SAO) é uma condição neurológica rara e complexa que afeta múltiplos nervos cranianos, causando sintomas como oftalmoplegia dolorosa, proptose, ptose, perda de visão e hipoestesia na região periorbital. Suas principais causas incluem inflamações, infecções, neoplasias e processos vasculares. O diagnóstico e tratamento precoces são essenciais para evitar complicações permanentes, como perda de visão e neuropatias ópticas. O manejo da SAO exige uma abordagem multidisciplinar, envolvendo oftalmologistas, neurologistas e radiologistas, sendo o tratamento guiado pela identificação da causa subjacente. O objetivo desta revisão sistemática é analisar a apresentação aguda da síndrome do ápice orbitário, suas causas, diagnóstico, tratamento e as implicações tardias nos desfechos clínicos dos pacientes, com base em um estudo abrangente da literatura existente. Foram utilizadas as seguintes bases de dados científicas: Scopus e PubMed, para a seleção dos artigos, como o uso dos unitermos em língua inglesa: “Orbital apex syndrome, Acute presentation, Long-term complications, Ophthalmologic diagnosis”. Conclui-se que a  síndrome do ápice orbitário (SAO) é uma condição aguda caracterizada por oftalmoplegia dolorosa e perda visual, resultante da compressão dos nervos cranianos que passam pelo ápice orbitário. O diagnóstico precoce, por meio de ressonância magnética, é essencial para diferenciar a SAO de outras condições semelhantes, como a síndrome do seio cavernoso. O tratamento varia de corticosteroides a intervenções cirúrgicas em casos de infecção ou tumores. A abordagem multidisciplinar é fundamental para otimizar os desfechos, prevenindo complicações como fibrose residual e perda visual irreversível. O manejo eficaz da SAO requer um acompanhamento a longo prazo e um plano terapêutico individualizado para melhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes.

Published: October 2024

The development of autonomous cars has been made possible in order to improve the safety of those who utilize transportation.  These cars are able to have the ability to perceive their surroundings and make judgments without any assistance from outside sources in order to generate the most efficient path to reach a location.  Prior to putting the solution into action, it is necessary to exercise caution, despite the fact that the concept seems to be futuristic and, if it is effectively implemented, would address a great deal of the existing problems that are associated with transportation. In this study, we will examine both the positive and negative aspects of putting autonomous cars into operation. Any tampering or manipulation of the data collected and communicated by these sensors might have fatal effects, since human lives are at risk in this situation. The sensors that are present on the cars are very dependent on the sensors that are present on the vehicles. This article covers a variety of assaults that may be launched against the various types of sensors that are installed on an autonomous vehicle.

Authors: Uchowicz Katarzyna
Published: October 2024

Celem artykułu jest spojrzenie na grupę Blok z perspektywy lokalnych sieci i międzynarodowych relacji awangardy. Punkt wyjścia stanowi I Wystawa Międzynarodowa Architektury Nowoczesnej w Warszawie (1926), potraktowana jako zwieńczenie trwającego od 1924 r. większego projektu otwartego, w który – obok Mieczysława Szczuki i grupy Blok – zaangażowani byli Wanda Melcer-Rutkowska i Szczęsny Rutkowski, a instytucjonalnie Polski Klub Artystyczny. Prezentacja architektury nowoczesnej w Warszawie została powiązana z nieobecnością awangardy na Międzynarodowej Wystawie Sztuki Dekoracyjnej i Wzornictwa w Paryżu oraz z promocją Bloku w Turcji w związku z Wystawą Polską w Konstantynopolu. Analiza poszczególnych numerów „Bloku” ujawniła nowe mapy relacji oraz sieć tłumaczy publikowanych tam tekstów (Wanda Melcer-Rutkowska, Irena Krzywicka, Maria Stromengerowa, Stanisław Helsztyński, Janina Saloni). Poboczne wątki (jak udział pisarek czy dominacja języka francuskiego w relacjach awangardy) oraz marginalia (jak finansowanie kultury czy proces konsolidacji środowiska architektów) pozwoliły przybliżyć nieznane szerzej relacje i wielogłos polskiej awangardy skupionej wokół grupy Blok.
Awangarda: historia współczesna
Authors: Szczerski Andrzej
Published: October 2024

Awangarda należy do najlepiej zbadanych zjawisk w polskiej historii sztuki. Efektem badań jest dokonująca się współcześnie weryfikacja dominujących dotąd, a sformułowanych na początku lat 70. XX w. tez o zakresie pojęcia awangarda, powiązaniu radykalizmu jej artystycznego eksperymentu z hasłami społecznej rewolucji czy jednostronnych uwikłaniach politycznych. Zakres pojęciowy jest poszerzany, aby uwzględnić także udział artystów awangardowych w działaniach propaństwowych w II Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej, ich zainteresowania kwestiami pamięci i historii, jak również utopiami regeneracji i sprawczości sztuki, czego przykładem mogą być wielowątkowe obchody Roku Awangardy (2017). W konsekwencji awangarda staje się nie kontestacją, ale istotną częścią polskiego kodu kulturowego, a jej historia wpisywana jest we współczesną debatę na temat modeli nowoczesności, jakie wypracowała kultura polska w XX w.

Authors: Fernandes Ângela , Matos Marlene
Published: October 2024

This study aims to explore the perceptions of service providers in Portugal, specifically regarding (i) how victims of human trafficking are aided; (ii) the victims’ needs and their understanding of the “condition of special vulnerability”; and (iii) the opinions of service providers on the obstacles victims face in seeking and receiving assistance. According to our research, most organizations offered assistance, ranging from legal aid to food and lodging, to victims of all ages, genders, and forms of exploitation. Participants recognized that the needs of human trafficking victims differ from those of victims of other crimes, such as domestic abuse survivors, particularly in terms of the unique challenges they face in rebuilding trust. They also identified challenges in delivering assistance, including insufficient financial resources, inadequate interinstitutional cooperation, and the victims’ lack of cooperation. Fear of traffickers along with feelings of humiliation, embarrassment, and fear of reprisal against themselves or their families were cited as major reasons why victims refuse assistance.

Published: October 2024

Antiretroviral therapy (ART), essential for halting the progression of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) infection and restoring immunity, should be taken regularly to be effective. This study aimed to assess the factors that may affect adherence to ART among people living with HIV (PLHIV) aged between 15 and 60 years at the Cité des Palmiers District Hospital. Thus, we conducted a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study using a non-probabilistic, convenience survey. Data were collected using a questionnaire administered to PLHIV aged between 15 and 65 years (n = 309). These factors affecting adherence were established by determining relative and absolute frequencies, and associations were estimated by calculating the odds ratios, confidence intervals, and P-values. Subsequently, 48.5% of participants were found to comply with ART and 51.5% were not. The independent predictors of poor adherence to ART were missed appointments at the HIV unit, occasional use of excitants/cigarettes, fear of disclosing HIV status, perceived limited opening hours of HIV-related services, discomfort with medication, recent initiation of treatment, and use of therapy reminders. Our study results are essential to orient public health policies and measures toward PLHIV non-adherents to ART treatment and mitigate the social, economic, and health impact of HIV threats on developing countries by focusing on good adherence.
Integrated Curriculum Model: Reformulation and Actualization in the Basics of Islamic Science Course
Authors: Basri Hasan , Sari Maimun
Published: October 2024

Reformulation and actualization of the integrated curriculum has become one of the characteristics of every State Islamic University. However, conceptually the terminology for integrating science and curriculum has not yet reached an agreement among experts. Even now, it is still a discourse that has not ended. This research tries to reveal two main problems: first, how the integrated curriculum is applied in the learning process of the basics of Islamic science in the chemistry education study program. Second, the extent to which the application of the integrative curriculum is appropriate in relation to learning the basics of Islamic science in the chemistry education study program. This research uses a qualitative descriptive-analysis approach with purposive sampling consisting of
head of the study program, 2 lecturers, 5 students from unit 01 and 5 students from unit 02 in semester 2 (two) who took the basics of Islamic science course in the Chemistry Education Study Program. Data were collected using direct observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and document studies and questionnaires. The data analysis technique goes through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, data processing and interpretation and drawing conclusions (verification). The research results show that the implementation of the integrated curriculum in the basics of Islamic science courses has been realized at the planning and presentation stage of integrated content in line with CPL and the material taught in class is in sync with CPMK and RPS. Meanwhile, the model used is an integration model based on monotheism and fiqh. At the implementation stage in unit 01 the lecturer did not carry out apperception. Meanwhile, in unit 02 the lecturer begins learning by praying together, and after that the lecturer conducts an apperception and explores the students' learning experiences. The suitability of the curriculum implemented in the Chemistry Education Study Program with the integrated curriculum in the Basics of Islamic Science course has been realized adequately although it still needs improvement. It is hoped that the results of this research will become an initial reference for lecturers, observers and educational policy makers.
Application Of Counterterrorism In Eradicating Criminal Acts Of Terrorism Into Indonesian Positive Legislation
Authors: Rahman Abdul , Huda Misbahul
Published: October 2024

Through counterterrorism policies, the government can mobilize various public work sectors which ultimately improve the quality of security and welfare provisions by the state. Improving the handling of terrorism convicts in prison to prevent recidivism, for example, will improve the detention system, immigration system and civil registration. This is of course with an important note that the policy of responding to terrorism is carried out in a coordinated manner. So, not only certain institutions within the country, but all state institutions must have a clear role in responding to terrorism. The formulation of the problem discussed is: How can counterterrorism efforts prevent and overcome terrorism? and How is counter-terrorism implemented in eradicating criminal acts of terrorism into Indonesian positive law legislation? The research method used in this research is normative juridical research with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. Discussion: The application of counter-terrorism in eradicating criminal acts of terrorism in Indonesia has been integrated into positive legal legislation through Law no. 5 of 2018. This law strengthens the legal framework by expanding the definition of terrorism, tightening supervision, and giving greater authority to security forces, as well as introducing preventive measures such as preventive detention and deradicalization. The role of the National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT) has also been strengthened to coordinate counter-terrorism strategies. The legislative process in Indonesia which follows the civil law tradition requires regulations to be written in writing. Establishment of Law no. 5 of 2018 was also influenced by the phenomenon of acts of terrorism which prompted the acceleration of the revision of Law no. 15 of 2003. Encouragement from society (bottom-up) and responses from political actors accelerated the ratification of this law, even though there were various challenges related to expanding authority and human rights. In dealing with terrorism, Indonesia applies two main approaches, namely the criminal justice model and the war model. The criminal justice model views terrorism as a legal violation that is handled through law enforcement, while the war model views it as an existential threat that requires a military response.

The project, launched this season, aims to investigate the technique and technology of Eighteenth Dynasty polychrome relief decoration in the Sanctuary and to assess the state of its preservation in order to establish an appropriate conservation approach. In addition, an appraisal of previous conservation and restoration treatments in the Hathor Shrine was conducted. Preliminary cleaning tests were also performed to aid planning further works. The research led to a preliminary identification of deterioration factors, as well as types of damage to the limestone, plaster, and painting layers. Unique in this respect were the changes in color of the polychrome decoration and limestone, likely caused by high-temperature chemical reactions.
LETTER WRITING MANUAL – TYPES OF LETTERS (ΤΎΠΟΙ ἐΠΙΣΤΟΛΙΚΟΊ)” BY DEMETRIUS
Authors:   Independent Researcher, Belozerov Sergei
Published: October 2024

“Types of Letters” is one of the rare examples of the genre of epistolography, popular in Hellenistic antiquity and Byzantine times, that has survived to this day. It was Demetrius who is often considered to be its actual founding father. The two main questions that most occupy researchers of the treatise are the time of its writing and the authorship, which is sometimes attributed to the outstanding writer, philosopher and statesman of Athens and the Ptolemaic Empire in Egypt, Demetrius of Phalerum. Such conclusion is supported by the high level of execution, its probable Alexandrian origin, the coincidence of the author’s name with the name of the author of the famous rhetorical treatise “On Style” and the obvious peripatetic coloring of the work. The researcher passionately examines these issues, drawing on rare sources for consideration. The article is a journal version of a chapter from the book “The Life of Demetrius of Phalerum”, being prepared for publication

The mathematical modeling applied on the machining process by superfinishing includes the study of the forces that appear during the action of the abrasive body on the surface of the parts subjected to processing, as well as the study of the mathematical equations of the trajectories of the abrasive grains within the various working methods used. This study is necessary to be able to obtain a quality of the processed surfaces in accordance with the technical execution documentation. In this way, various movements of the abrasive tool and the processed part can be combined in order to be sure of obtaining the quality of the part's surface finish in the shortest possible time. The study allows obtaining mathematical formulas that facilitate the use of optimal technological parameters for the processing of different shapes of pieces.
Some questions of the connection between mud volcanism and seismicity in Azerbaijan

The article discusses some issues of the genetic connection between mud volcanic activity in Azerbaijan and seismicity, the results of monitoring studies of mud volcanoes characterized by active gryphon-salsa activity between eruptions located in tectonic structures of different ages. For the first time, an anomalous change in Br and J, mainly associated with Paleogene-Miocene deposits, was established in the chemical composition of the studied waters based on hydrogeochemical indicators of volcanic activation. The established differences in the studied waters are associated with the location of mud volcanoes within different oil and gas bearing regions of Azerbaijan and the lithofacies features of terrigenous-carbonate rocks in mud volcanic breccia. The above measurements of the temperature of waters carried by mud volcanoes to the earth’s surface confirmed the previously obtained results: during quiet activity of volcanoes, fluids are carried out from Pliocene deposits, and when their gryphon-salsa activity is activated, they are diluted with fluids coming from the depths of the Paleogene-Miocene age. Analyzing various intervals of “rest” between eruptions of mud volcanoes, tracing changes occurring in small crater fields (cracks, subsidence, etc.), the seismogeological material we have accumulated allows us to make an estimated forecast (as a long-term one) of the eruption of a mud volcano within one year.

Although the constructions of planetary reducers are complex, their technical indicators are higher than other gear boxes, and their overall dimensions are smaller. In this article, the constructions of planetary gearboxes were investigated, and an in-depth literature analysis was conducted on their modernization. Application of these gearboxes with high technical indicators and compact dimensions in lifting mechanisms would be suitable for the purpose. Thus, small overall size, large efficiency, and high reliability are the main requirements for winches, and planetary gearboxes can also provide these features. But for some reason, traditionally, geared elevator winches are mainly made with worm gearboxes. This is mainly due to the fact that they provide a high gear ratio in single stage and self-braking. But the efficiency of worm gear box is small, and the friction losses are larger. Therefore, it is time and necessity to replace them with other progressive designed gearboxes in the lifing winches. Taking these into account, in the article, as a result of structural and kinematic analysis and synthesis of planetary gearboxes, new constructions were developed and structural schemes were proposed for their application in the lifting mechanisms. For each of these schemes, the transmission ratio and efficiency were evaluated and compared with each other. The proposed schemes can be applied in the different types of lifting winches. The application fields of winches are different. Winches are more commonly used in drilling equipment and elevators. Winches are the main units of these equipments. Winches and their braking systems must meet operational requirements and operating conditions. Their strength and traction must be sufficient to perform the most demanding technological operations. Lifting and lowering speeds should ensure accident-free operations, be economically efficient and highly productive.

The use of traditional research complexes is of great importance in solving such important problems as correlating well sections for the purpose of lithological assessment, determining the reservoir properties of reservoir layers that make up the section, namely, saturation, porosity, permeability and clay content, as well as identifying oil and gas-bearing and aquifer layers. The complexity of solving such important problems depends entirely on the petrophysical properties of reservoir layers. For example, the electrical resistivities of oil-bearing and aquifer reservoirs are similar in magnitude, which leads to high clay content and significant variation in porosity throughout the field, which, as a result, makes it difficult to separate oil-bearing and aquifer reservoirs from each other. On the other hand, it is also known that an increase in the amount of cementing clays in reservoirs leads to a decrease in porosity and an increase in residual water saturation. In this regard, in the article, based on a set of well data, the values of the petrophysical parameters of reservoir layers were determined, models were built that determine the correlation between them, and regression equations based on the statistical distribution of these parameters were established. The article also built models for the distribution of porosity, permeability, clay content and oil and gas saturation along well sections. The constructed models provide the basis for forming a definite opinion about the field and obtaining results of both a scientific and practical nature when studying the filtration and reservoir characteristics of reservoir layers, as well as when determining the relationship between petrophysical parameters. The object of the study was the on the Kirmakinskaya (KS) and Underkirmaky (UK) formations of the productive series (PS) selected from the wells of the Gyurgyan-Deniz field.
