The Effect of Experimental Cycles on the Traps Depths of Dosimetric Traps of Natural Calcite Minerals
Authors: TOKTAMIŞ Dilek
Published: September 2022

A trap found in a solid state radiation dosimetry is characterized by kinetic parameters such as trap depth (Ea), frequency factor (s), kinetic order (b) and carrier concentration (no). Trap depth (Activation energy) is the required energy to release carriers in the trap. In this study, it is investigated that how the dosimetric trap depths of the traps found in the four natural calcite minerals are affected by reusable of them as a dosimeter. All samples were irradiated about 36 Gy beta dose and read out by a thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD) reader. A computer glow curve deconvulation program (CGCD) was used to get the kinetic parameters. And the results are compared for the four calcite samples.

Published: September 2022

The automotive industry is among the priority technology areas of our country, and the reduction of vehicle weight and fuel consumption and thus CO2 emissions without compromising safety criteria are among the priority research areas. For this reason, R&D studies on increasing the use of polymer-based materials in the automotive industry are of great importance. In order to produce “high strength and weight reduction parts” in plastic moulding technologies, advanced technologies that focus on cost reduction and efficiency are being implemented rapidly. The chemical foaming process, which provides many advantages such as reducing the consumption of plastic material used, reducing the total moulding cycle time, using less tonnage injection moulding machines, and thus reducing the energy costs, is one of the innovative technologies that have been implemented since a very recent time. In this study, chemical foaming agent were being reinforced at the rate of 1-2-3% in natural fiber-reinforced recycled composite polypropylene raw material. The samples obtained in the injection machine was be moulded in the sizes and shapes in accordance with the standards. Tensile, hardness, impact and three points bending tests would be done. By examining the test results, the mechanical, and morphological properties of natural fiber reinforced polypropylene materials at different chemical agent percentages were examined. With increasing the amount of foaming agent, mechanical properties decreased.

Published: September 2022

One of the most active sectors in an increasingly globalized world, retail sector has become a rapidly developing sector in Turkey as well. Companies in this sector must follow an inventory policy that provides them with minimum cost and maximum profit in order to compete and survive in market. For this reason, effective management of inventory is crucially important in the retail sector, as in other sectors. In this study, Six Sigma method was used in order to reduce the inventory levels in a large supermarket operating both wholesale and retail in Turkey. Six Sigma is a management tool that emphasizes continuous improvement as a culture and increases the efficiency of processes. In this study, the causes of high inventory levels were determined by following the steps of the Six Sigma method, and the collected data were analyzed. At the end of the implementation, some improvement actions were planned to reduce inventory levels, and a monitoring system was established to ensure sustainability. There was a deficiency in inventory tracking and demand forecasting processes. The main reason for this was seen to be the purchasing organization. It was determined that sometimes more than necessary purchases were made. Six sigma studies on supermarkets in Turkey are limited. This study sets an example for the use of the Six Sigma method, which is a systematic process improvement method for the retail industry.

Published: September 2022

The authors propose a case report analysis with a step-by-step exclusion of possible non-psychiatric medical causes of thyrotoxicosis in a young girl. The prolonged differential diagnosis eventually led to the diagnosis of drug-induced thyrotoxicosis due to anorexia nervosa in the patient. The analysis of the presented case report once again demonstrates the importance of a carefully curated medical history, including the psychiatric history, as well as a holistic and comprehensive analysis of all the clinical manifestations. We analyzed this case report of a patient with thyrotoxicosis due to anorexia nervosa in order to test the algorithm of differential diagnosis. All patient information was anonymized, and the patient gave informed consent to the submission of the case report for publication.
A Data-Driven Approach to Evaluate Site Amplification of Ground-Motion Models Using Vector Proxies Derived from Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratios
Authors: Zaker Esteghamati Mohsen , Kottke Albert R. , Rodriguez-Marek Adrian
Published: September 2022

This study develops a data-driven framework to improve the prediction of site amplification in ground-motion models (GMM) using horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratios (HVSR) proxies derived from strong-motion data. Three machine learning algorithms (multiple regression, random forest, and support vector machine [SVM]) were implemented in an automated data-driven workflow that included feature selection (filter-based, wrapper-based, and embedded methods), hyperparameter tuning, and cross-validation modules. The site-to-site variability of resultant data-driven models was then compared to a baseline GMM. In addition, sensitivity analysis on framework choices was carried out. The results show that data-driven models with HVSR proxies provide lower site-to-site variability than conventional GMM. The best performing data-driven model (i.e., SVMs) showed an average of 24.1% (and up to 50.8%) lower site-to-site variability than the baseline GMM, where the difference was more significant at lower frequencies. Finally, all feature selection methods favor using a vector of the HVSR spectrum over single-valued HVSR proxies such as peak frequency and amplitude.
Особенности феномена субъектности в условиях современных технологических трансформаций
Authors: Володенков Сергей , Федорченко Сергей
Published: September 2022

Активное проникновение в ключевые сферы жизнедеятельности государства и общества цифровых коммуникаций, интенсивное развитие технологий искусственного интеллекта и нейросетевых алгоритмов, рост влияния цифровых платформ как новых акторов современных общественно-политических процессов, переконфигурация привычной системы социальных отношений в цифровом пространстве формируют вопрос о содержательных и функциональных аспектах традиционного феномена субъектности, выступающего одним из ключевых элементов структуры власти и общества. Осуществляя критический анализ актуального научного дискурса в сфере трансформаций традиционной субъектности, авторы рассматривают концепты капитализма платформ и алгократии как объяснительные модели происходящих изменений в системе современных общественно-политических коммуникаций. В работе показано, что цифровизация и технологические трансформации, формирование нового социотехнического phygital-пространства внесли не просто коррективы в сферу привычной нам субъектности, но и интенсифицировали процессы ее эволюции. В качестве нового феномена, формирующегося в цифровом пространстве, особо выделяется атипичная субъектность, связанная с потенциалом самокоммуникации AI-агентов (от artificial intelligence, искусственный интеллект) в условиях становления искусственной социальности. Отдельное внимание в работе уделяется новому феномену гибридной субъектности, формируемому в рамках функционирования цифровых кентавров, потенциально способных выступать в качестве расширений действующих политических институтов государства. Предпринимается попытка показать, как современная алгоритмизация и технологизация сферы общественно-политических коммуникаций согласуются с подходами Дж. Агамбена и Ф. Анкерсмита к феномену “пустого политического центра”. Несмотря на то что рассмотренные перспективы формирования новых типов субъектности на сегодняшний день не реализованы и ограничены современными технологическими возможностями, в статье тем не менее обозначен потенциал для их реализации и сделан вывод, что данный потенциал определяется двумя ключевыми факторами: экспоненциальным ростом сложности AI-технологий, а также тенденцией, в соответствии с которой современный человек все в большей степени склонен полагаться на готовые решения AI-систем.

Published: September 2022

На основе теоретического анализа в статье описывается концептуальная модель субъективного пространства отраслевой политики, определяются структура и механизмы взаимодействия институциональных практик и неинституциональных аспектов реализации государственной молодежной политики. По результатам эмпирического исследования молодежи Краснодарского края описан семантической профиль государственной молодежной политики, фиксирующий отстраненность молодежи, разрыв между ней и интересами, потребностями молодежи. Авторы приходят к выводу, что максимальным потенциалом вовлечения молодежи в социальную активность обладают социальные проекты и проекты развития территорий, а также деятельность политических партий. Наиболее востребованные форматы реализации молодежной политики – молодежное самоуправление, творческая деятельность в виде форумов и креативных пространств, работа молодежных общественных организаций. В статье показаны противоречивость представлений молодежи о молодежной политике и дифференцированность молодежной когорты. На основе результатов эмпирического исследования обоснована инновационная модель российской молодежной политики, позволяющая перейти к проектированию успешных институциональных практик.

Published: September 2022

One way to approach the understanding of the labor market is to study the duration of unemployment and the factors that determine it. The objective of this work is to estimate the determinants of the duration of unemployment in the department of Boyacá - Colombia for the period 2019-2021, using data from the large household survey (GEIH) of DANE. Through quantile regressions, for durations from 1 to 8 weeks, from 9 to 20 and greater than 21 weeks. The results obtained show that being the head of the household decreases the unemployment time of a worker, verifying the hypothesis that women have longer periods of unemployment than men. The variables age and schooling have a similar effect, older age or more years of education decrease the duration of unemployment, but only up to a certain threshold, after which the search period becomes longer. On the other hand, it is evident that other income is not a significant variable.

Published: September 2022

Inflammation involves various interlinked pathways and processes. In its uncontrolled form, inflammation results in variety of diseased sates. Current therapy for inflammatory diseases is limited to steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). But these are associated with safety concerns and have a deleterious effect on wound healing. Proteolytic enzymes, also called proteases, which are naturally occurring substances derived from animal or plant sources, are believed to be effective and safer alternatives to the conventional medications. Combined with the bioflavonoid rutoside, the proteases trypsin and bromelain have been extensively investigated as alternatives to conventional therapies for pain and swelling associated with diverse conditions. Their individual mechanisms of action and the advantages of combining bromelain and rutoside with trypsin has been discussed. The combination not only covers a wider range of processes involved in inflammation, but they also complement each other’s actions and provide a more well-rounded control of the inflammatory processes.

Published: September 2022

A difusão é o principal meio de transporte do fósforo (P) no solo e depende de vários fatores, como a interação do P com os componentes da fase sólida, a textura, a mineralogia da fração argila, a umidade, a compactação e a fonte fosfatada. Assim, dada a variação de solos no Seridó Paraibano, é de se esperar variação no fluxo difusivo de P. Objetiva-se com este estudo analisar o efeito de níveis de fósforo no fluxo difusivo de fosfato em solos representativos do Seridó Paraibano. Foram utilizadas amostras, coletadas na camada 0-20 cm de profundidade, de seis solos representativos. O experimento foi conduzido em delineamento de blocos casualizados, em fatorial 6 × 5, sendo seis solos e cinco níveis de P (0%, 10%, 20%, 30% e 40% da capacidade máxima de sorção de P). Para estimativa do fluxo difusivo de P, utilizou-se como unidades experimentais anéis de PVC com 5 cm de altura e 10 cm de diâmetro interno, com volume de solo de 300 cm3, que receberam os solos e as doses em estudo e serviram como câmara de difusão. Para avaliação do fluxo difusivo de P nos solos, utilizou-se o papel de troca aniônica (PA), que permaneceu em contato com o solo por 15 dias. Após esse período, a quantidade de P retida no PA foi quantificada. Os níveis de P promoveram o aumento do fluxo difusivo do fosfato de forma linear, com exceção do Neossolo Flúvico, no qual não foi verificada resposta significativa. O maior fluxo de P foi verificado no Planossolo (0,0753 µmol.cm-²/15 dias), seguido pelo Neossolo Regolítico (0,0510 µmol.cm-²/15 dias). O Neossolo Flúvico foi o solo que apresentou menor fluxo difusivo (0,0274 µmol.cm-²/15 dias). Conclui-se que a aplicação de P aumentou o fluxo difusivo do fosfato e que o fluxo difusivo de P foi maior no Planossolo e menor no Neossolo Flúvico.

No Brasil, a tecnologia do contêiner como sistema de construção possui o uso preservado em canteiros de obras, como escritórios, almoxarifado e estocagem de materiais e ferramentas. No entanto, observam-se poucos trabalhos de abordagens experimentais focadas na análise do comportamento térmico e acústico de contêineres usados como edificações. Desse modo, o objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar o comportamento térmico e acústico de contêineres utilizados como área de apoio em canteiros de obra, realizando medições das variáveis térmicas e acústicas in loco. Por meio de uma pesquisa empírica, foram analisados três contêineres de 20 pés (dimensões externas de 2,438 m de largura × 2,591 m de altura × 6,058 m de comprimento), situados na zona bioclimática 3, adaptados como escritório, com banheiro e depósito de materiais, no canteiro de obras. As variáveis térmicas “temperatura do ar” e “temperatura superficial dos fechamentos verticais” e os níveis de pressão sonora internos e externos foram obtidos por meio de medições in loco baseadas em normas nacionais. Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir que, em relação ao desempenho térmico, o uso de revestimento interno com camada de lã de vidro nas paredes e na cobertura implica em uma variação significativa entre a temperatura máxima interna e a externa. Mas vale ressaltar que, em condições de infiltração de ar na edificação, essa estratégia não é capaz de garantir desempenho térmico adequado para a zona bioclimática 3, sendo necessário algum tipo de sistema de condicionamento artificial. Já a composição dos fechamentos com camada isolante proporciona qualidade acústica ao ambiente, mantendo os níveis de pressão sonora abaixo de valores limites especificados pelas normas nacionais.

A Management Strategy for Multi-Source Heat Pump Systems
Authors: Emmi Giuseppe , Cavazzuti Marco , Bottarelli Michele
Published: September 2022

The recent H2020 IDEAS project is oriented to the study of multi-source heat pump systems by investigating their behavior through dynamic simulations and on-field experiments in real small and large-scale prototypes respectively. One of the main aims of the project is the exploitation of available free energy sources, solar, air and ground using the heat pump technology. The key point in the investigated multi-source heat pump system is the optimal management of the renewable sources and the keeping of the ground storage available also in case of undersize of it and in case of buildings with unbalanced thermal load profile. In the last year of the project the algorithm for the control of sources and devices in the IDEAS system has been developed to maximize the use of renewable energies and at the same time to minimize the consumption of auxiliary energy. The present paper shows the details of this part of the project highlighting limits, potential and properties of the management system with a discussion of the results obtained from the on-field experiments. In the last part of the project, the implementation of weather forecast and artificial intelligence in the algorithm is planned.

Authors: Ajuka Luke O. , Ikumapayi Omolayo M. , Akinlabi Esther T.
Published: September 2022

The present study examines the entropy generation of graphene nanoplatelet (GnP) suspended in different basefluids, theoretically. GnP in water (W), ethylene glycol (EG) and ethylene glycol- water (EGW, 1:1) was examined under laminar flow state in a unit length mini and micro-channel of 3mm and 0.05mm diameter. The coefficient of conductivity (Ck) and viscosity (Cμ) of the nanofluid were determined from experimental analysis and their order of magnitude were established for analysis of entropy generation in mini and micro-channels. Entropy generation by fluid friction (Ṡgen, ff) in the channels containing EG was higher than with W and EGW by 75.6% and 79.9%, respectively. Thermal irreversibility (Ṡgen, th) of W was lower by132.9% and 58.2% compared to EG and EGW. Sgen,th in all the fluids decreased with increased solid volume fraction in mini-channels, while, Ṡgen,ff increased with increase in volume fraction for micro-channels. Total entropy generation (Ṡgen, tot) of water was lower by 75.6% and higher by 64.8% compared to EG and EGW, respectively in a micro-channel, whereas Ṡgen, tot of water was lower by 123.7% and 38.4% compared to EG and EGW, respectively. As GnP volume fraction was increased in the basefluids, entropy generation ratio decreased, highlighting the positive influence of thermal properties of the nanofluid. A lower Bejan number for water (Bew), 36.8% and 358.9% were observed compared to EG and EGW in micro-channel, whereas Bew was lower by 3.8% and 13.8% when compared to EG and EGW nanofluids in the mini channel.

Authors: Emam Tarek G.
Published: September 2022

In this work, nonlinear radiative flow over a vertical cylinder moving with a nonlinear velocity is presented. The mathematical model of the problem is formulated to include many parameters such as the thermal radiation parameter, the nonlinearity parameter, the Prandtl number, etc. Mathematica program is built to numerically solve the system of ordinary differential equations together with boundary conditions that is derived from the partial differential equations governing the fluid motion through using suitable similarity transformations. Numerical results obtained for the case of linear cylinder velocity are compared with analytical results obtained for the same case to validate the numerical method used in this work. Profiles of the fluid velocity and fluid temperatures are introduced and discussed to explore different parameters effects.

Published: September 2022

Figuring out the action mechanism of carbon emission trend on the influencing factors of urban thermal environment from the perspective of transportation energy consumption is of great significance for transforming citizens’ means of transportation and promoting sustainable development of urban environment. However, existing studies on urban thermal environment generally focus on the quantification of urban landscape forms, the correlation analysis, or the analysis of relative importance, few of them have concerned about the action mechanism of fluid flow, heat transfer, pollutant diffusion and other process parameters on the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect with both transportation energy consumption and carbon emission trend taken into consideration. For this reason, this paper gave the spatial structure of urban thermal environment, constructed fluid flow control equation, heat transfer control equation, pollutant diffusion control equation, and turbulence model for the urban thermal environment; then, it quantitatively analyzed the UHI intensity and air pollutant concentration, aiming to alleviate the UHI effect under the influence of transportation energy consumption and carbon emission trend. At last, this paper used experimental results to verify the effectiveness of the constructed model and gave the analysis results of thermal environment in the target city.

Authors: Kamboj Ayushi , R Harikrishnan , Waghmare Dayanand , Waghmare Priyanka Tupe
Published: September 2022

Due to the transient nature and uncertainty of traffic produced by applications and services, data center networks have a lot of challenges. As a response, networking as a domain is continually evolving to maintain the exponential growth in network traffic. The primary objective of this paper is to predict the network traffic before it impacts the system's performance. This paper first describes existing Machine Learning (ML) applications in telecommunications and then lists the most prominent difficulties and probable remedies for implementing them. We tried to implement different ML algorithms to predict the network traffic like Gradient Boosting (GB), Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Adaptive Boosting (AB), Neural Network (NN), Decision Tree (DT), and Support Vector Machines (SVM) with different sub-parameters for predicting network traffic. Relying on a sequential dataset, we create the corresponding ML environment and present a comparison table of Mean square error (MSE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Coefficient of Determination (R2) for each model. The simulation results show that the AB and GB are the best-fitted models with performance matrix parameters like MSE 0.000 and RMSE 0.002 and 0.011, respectively. The orange tool is used to stimulate the predictive models.

Published: September 2022

Soybean is known for its high protein content, which is the reason why it is widely used as one of the main food sources for humans and animals. In order to increase soybean yield, farmers tend to use foliar mineral fertilizer and plant growth regulator to this crop. Furthermore, a starter fertilizer application into the soil without foliar application may cause low yield contents of soybean. The aim of this investigation was to estimate the effects of different foliar mineral fertilizers (MF) and plant growth regulator (RGR) application on quantitative traits (plant height (PH), lower pods attachment height (LPH), number of seed pods per plant (NSPP), number of seeds per plant (NSP), weight of seeds per plant (WSP) and 1000-seed weight (TSW) and soybean grain yield (SGY)) in three soybean cultivars (Lastochka, Akku and Galina) in Shymkent of the Turkestan region, Kazakhstan. Four treatments of fertilization were tested: control (starter fertilizer, Р60К45), Р60К45 + Mo+B, Р60К45 + Epin and Р60К45 +Vuksal. Mo+ B, Epin and Vuksal were foliar applied one-two times at growth stage. The field experiments were carried out in South-Western Research Institute of Animal Husbandry and Plant Growing, during the years 2019, 2020 and 2021. In both research years, Akku had higher values for all investigated traits than Lastochka and Galina. Results showed that foliar MF and PGR application significantly increased the values for PH, LPH, NSPP, NSP, WSP, TSW and SGY. Vuksal is more effective than Epin and Mo,B in soybean cultivars because Vuksal is a liquid fertilizer that contains has higher concentration of macronutrients (16%N, 16%P2O5, 12%K2O+me, w/v). Generally, cultivar Akku and treatment starter fertilizer (Р60К45) + Vuksal (2,5 L/ha) may be recommended in soybean production in localities with similar agro-ecological conditions.

Our soil continues to grapple with a number of familiar challenges like soil infertility, unfavourable soil conditions, and declining soil health as well as quality. These issues are caused by the ongoing crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and excessive fertilizer usage alone in intensive cropping. Deterioration of soil health can be alleviated by application of organic fertilizers. With this background, the current experiment was conducted during 2013- 2016 to evaluate the effect of different organic sources viz. farm yard manure (FYM), green manure, press mud compost and grapevine pruning residue on Thompson Seedless and soil organic carbon content. Results indicated that maximum yield of 19.50 t/ha was obtained in T3 (press mud @15ton/ha). The increase in yield was +10.36% and +4.62% over T1 (only Fertigation schedule) and T2 (FYM), respectively. Maximum petiole potassium concentration (1.63%) was recorded in T3 at fruit bud differentiation stage. The soil organic carbon was highest in T4 (FYM @7.5 ton/ha and Press mud @ 7.5 ton/ha) among all the treatments. The increase was +5.6%, +66.66% and +63.56% over T1 in first, second and third year respectively. The gross returns (Rs. 319945/-), net profit (Rs. 121170/-) as well as cost benefit ratio (0.61) was maximum in case of press mud among all the organic sources. On the basis of obtained results, it can be concluded that use of press mud compost or press mud and FYM may be recommended as an organic fertilizer to improve yield and petiole nutrient content of Thompson Seedless as well as soil organic carbon content.
The concept of violence in Aristotle's social and political philosophy
Authors:   Belgorod State National Research University, Ivashina R. A.
Published: September 2022

Violence, despite all the democratic efforts of politicians, has not been overcome. As a result, humanity was forced to find a balance between violence and nonviolence. On the one hand, violence is necessary to maintain law and order, but on the other it needs to be normalized and regulated. Since the emergence of ancient philosophy, as the basis of European culture, many of its representatives have offered their ideas for a better way of life of society. One of the striking examples is the socio-political ideas of the great ancient philosopher Aristotle. He largely determined the course of devel-opment of further socio-political ideas in the history of Europe and the world. For this reason, the task of the study is to analyze and systematize Aristotle's views on violence. The main method of research is analysis. In his works, Aristotle examines many socio-political aspects in the life of society. They are all very diverse, but Aris-totle makes a detailed analysis and regulation on the degree of permissibility of the use of each type of violence, or prohibition.

Published: September 2022

The article presents an analysis and evaluation of N. N. Strakhov's interpretation of Tolstoy's novel “War and Peace”. Based on two fundamental organic notions – “life” and “soil” – the critic shows that “War and Peace” embodies the national character of Russia. Strakhov's understanding of “War and Peace” is also one of his attempts to counter nihilism in the public consciousness of nineteenth-century Russians and to promote the development and broad popular acceptance of Russian national culture in its best, pinnacle examples.

Authors: Mubarok Husni , Sofiana Nina
Published: September 2022

This study discusses the planning, implementation, and assessment processes of English language teaching based on the national curriculum of Indonesia. Evaluative research was conducted using the CIPP model, which stands for context, input, process, and product. The subjects of this study were 30 English teachers from 15 schools in three municipalities in Central Java Province, Indonesia. Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires, and surveys. There are four variables in this research with six sub-variables (school policy, lesson plan, resources and learning facilities, media selection, teaching phases, and assessment). The results of the study show that learning English in both public and private schools has been going well at all levels. The authors recommend that while making a policy on English language teaching in Indonesia, two aspects must be considered – an English learning program based on the applicable curriculum and an extracurricular English learning program.

Using Education Data Mining (EDM) and Tracer Study (TS) Data as Materials for Evaluating Higher Education Curriculum and Policies
Authors: Arifin Muhammad , . Widowati , . Farikhin
Published: September 2022

The policy-making process is influenced by the results of a good evaluation process. However, to get valid results, the evaluation process requires supporting data and technology. Higher education produces huge amounts of data but is still lacking in turning it into useful information. With the rapid development of information technology, higher education data must be processed into information that can be used as an evaluation and basis for making quick and accurate policies. Educational Data Mining (EDM) is a technique used to measure students’ academic achievement to improve their results, assess the learning process, evaluate the overall quality of education, etc. Besides, the relevance of the curriculum followed by a university and the competencies possessed can be analyzed using a tracer study (TS). The current study uses EDM to extract information from higher education data and tracer study results. The relationship between higher education data and TS data was analyzed. The results indicated that not all students with higher GPA scores get jobs per the competencies they had in college, however, those with higher GPAs and who were actively organized during college are easier to find work. The study results must be considered as material for curriculum evaluation and for making higher education policies.

Authors: . Supandi , Ariyanto Lilik , Kusumaningsih Widya
Published: September 2022

Mathematical literacy ability is important in the process of learning mathematics at schools. Efforts to improve mathematical literacy skills mostly involve providing materials and integrating learning with an ethnomathematical approach and higherorder thinking skills (HOTs) related to real life. The minimum competency assessment (AKM) is one of the ways to photograph students’ numeracy skills so that students can face and understand the flow of information. This study aims to design AKM tools for junior high school students in the city of Semarang, with a focus on mathematics. The study included the administrators of the association of mathematics teachers and all junior high school mathematics teachers in the city of Semarang. A large-scale focus-group discussion was created. The results show that the AKM design has a positive influence on teachers. Since teachers receive contextual information more quickly, the form of AKM questions becomes up to date. Students, on the other hand, are happy as the questions are presented in the form of stories. Thus, students’ mathematics learning ability increases, this is indicated by students being able to understand information from AKM questions.

Analysis of Understanding and Readiness of Elementary School Teachers on the Implementation of the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) Approach
Authors: Roshayanti Fenny , Wijayanti Arfilia , Purnamasari Veryliana , Sari Setianingsih Eka
Published: September 2022

The application of integrated thematic learning and scientific approaches to the 2013 curriculum in Indonesian elementary schools can be done using the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) approach because learning activities in the 2013 curriculum have been developed based on themes, sub-themes and lessons that have been adapted to life and student environment. Of the total respondents in the study, 37.6% understood the STEAM approach well, 40.8% expressed doubt, and 21.6% did not know about it. The results of the interviews with several teachers indicated that STEAM is art-based learning and that the elementary school teachers’ understanding of STEAM is far from its real nature. Based on this, the researchers have used a descriptive–analytical design to analyze the understanding and readiness of elementary school teachers toward the implementation of the STEAM approach in eight districts of Central Java Province. The results showed that teachers did not fully understand the concept or practice of learning using the STEAM approach despite having delivered projects based on STEAM. The authors, therefore, recommend that teachers must pay attention to the readiness and needs of students, and design and prepare STEAM learning tools based on the descriptions of basic competencies and indicators on the themes, sub-themes, and lessons that will be taught to the students.
