Authors: Aryanti Nurul , Ardiansyah Welly , Izzah  , Septi Anggaira Aria
Published: January 2024

Exploring educational opportunities beyond the official curriculum and campus environment is a means for students to enhance the competencies of future graduates who can thrive in both national and international industrial settings. This study's objective is to assess students' awareness and engagement with the Independent Learning Independent Campus Program (MBKM) policy and its consequences. The research methodology employed in this study involves a survey using descriptive analysis techniques. The study involved 350 undergraduate students as participants, and data collection was conducted through a questionnaire comprising two sections: one for capturing respondent demographics and the other for inquiring about their perspectives on the Independent Learning Independent Campus Program (MBKM) policy. The study's findings suggest that students exhibit a considerable level of awareness regarding the Independent Learning Independent Campus Program (MBKM) policy, and their participation is also notably high. Moreover, the feedback regarding the impact of the MBKM policy on students is positively inclined. This positive response is rooted in the advantages offered by the MBKM program, such as enhanced learning experiences, the allocation of 20 credits, and the development of soft skills. Consequently, the MBKM policy holds the potential to encourage greate.r student involvement in extracurricular learning activities outside the official curriculum and campus. Hence, the outcomes of this study carry several important implications. First, because students are so aware of the MBKM policy, they will continue to attend the program with great enthusiasm. Second, because there is a lot of student interest in the Independent Learning Independent Campus Program (MBKM) program, the quality of learning that takes place off campus will improve. Third, the study program will successfully maintain the Independent Learning Independent Campus Program (MBKM) program. This is based on the advantages of the Independent Learning Independent Campus Program (MBKM) program, which can offer a variety of skills, knowledge of different cultures, and adaptability, including leadership skills.
Digital currencies and the Nigerian economy: Evidence from selected coins
Authors: Ademosu Solomon Tanimowo , Ayodele Thomas Duro
Published: January 2024

This study emphasizes the implication of dynamic connection between digital currency and Nigerian economic growth rate by focusing attention on Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin with respect to their returns and volatility from 2010Q4 to 2022Q3. As a way to have a robust estimation, we model our analysis using ARDL model and granger causality test. This model is rather useful to have both short and long run estimations. Importantly the study’s outcome conforms with the fundamentals.  By findings from the study, the trend analysis suggests that the country’s exchange rate moves in line with digital currency activities while at the same time signifies some implication on the growth rate of the Nigerian economy. While lower returns for Bitcoin and Litecoin increase growth rate, the return for Ethereum rather move in the same direction as the growth rate. This indeed suggest that most Nigerians into digital currency activities often engage in portfolio diversification among available coins. The study further found that low volatility in the market will raise (significantly especially for Ethereum) growth rate of the economy while causal implication run from returns and volatilities of these coins to growth and exchange rates. Indeed, the findings have important policy implication for the Nigerian economy which suggests paying good attention to digital currency activities in the country and formulating necessary policies to improve it.

Authors: Al-Samiry Ahmed Hussein , Mohammed Samer Imad , Khalaf Noor Mubder
Published: January 2024

Background: In recent years, the prevalence of obesity has climbed sharply. Still, only a few safe and effective medications are approved as weight-loss drugs. Objective: This study aims to assess the knowledge and practice of community pharmacists in Iraq regarding the use of Liraglutide and Semaglutide as weight-loss medications. Method: A cross-sectional survey was implemented using a validated questionnaire and a convenient sample of Iraqi community pharmacists from different governorates. The questionnaire was created after conducting a literature review of the most important articles about liraglutide and semaglutide. The questionnaire consists of three sections. The first part was used to collect demographic information. The second and third parts assessed community pharmacists' knowledge and practice of the anti-diabetic weight-loss agents Liraglutide and Semaglutide, respectively. Results: A total of 225 community pharmacists participated in this survey. The mean number of successfully answered knowledge questions by all participants was 15 out of 20, indicating a good knowledge of the Iraqi community pharmacists regarding using Liraglutide and Semaglutide as weight-loss medications. The current study revealed that the mean score for the practice section is 3.97, indicating that the participating pharmacists have good practice regarding using these medications. Conclusions: Community pharmacists have demonstrated adequate knowledge about correct administration escalation, storage, adverse effects, and other aspects of using Liraglutide and Semaglutide for weight loss. There is a knowledge gap between younger and older pharmacists.

Authors: Wise Barbara L. , Sneed Katti J. , Gilreath Kathryn R. , Eby Ruth A. , Farmer Sarah F.
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Interprofessional poverty simulations can improve attitudes toward poverty and attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration. This study evaluated an immersive synchronous online poverty simulation.Methods: A mixed-method study was conducted to compare the outcomes of onsite and online interprofessional poverty simulations. The simulations were carried out at a private university in the US 6 times onsite between 2017 and 2019, and 4 times online between 2020 and 2021. The quantitative portion utilized two pre- and post-test questionnaires: the Attitudes Toward Poverty Short Form and the University of West England Interprofessional Questionnaire, which evaluate attitudes towards poverty and interprofessional collaboration respectively. Additionally, qualitative interviews of selected students were conducted 2-4 weeks after the simulations. Quantitative data were analyzed using paired t-tests for individual results, and independent samples t-tests to compare onsite with online pre-post changes. Qualitative data were evaluated using thematic analysis by faculty members from three disciplines.Results: The research indicates that both online and onsite poverty simulations can improve student attitudes toward both poverty and interprofessional collaboration. Results for 196 online participants were compared to 325 onsite participants. Both online and onsite groups showed significant improvements in attitudes toward poverty and interprofessional collaboration (p < .05). The quantitative effect size was smaller for online than onsite, but the difference was less in 2021, the second year of the online simulation, likely due to improved implementation techniques. The qualitative data suggested a less intense emotional response for online participants compared to onsite.  Overall results suggest that there is a learning curve in offering an effective online poverty simulation, but that online poverty simulations do significantly influence attitudes toward poverty and interprofessional collaboration.Recommendation: In the article, lessons learned are shared. Online simulations can effectively change attitudes toward poverty, and allow many students to participate who otherwise might not be able to, but the magnitude of the impact for our population was not as great online as onsite. It is recommended that schools of nursing and faculty of other healthcare professions consider the pros and cons of incorporating interprofessional poverty simulations in their curricula.

The ethics of the nursing profession is the main point that must be pursued by a nurse. The ethics of the nursing profession is important because it is something that nurses encounter all the time when they work in a health environment. From this simple fact, ethics also needs to be strictly understood because of the breadth of ethical theories that exist. Ethics is a science that seeks orientation, in the context of the nursing profession, ethics becomes a critical evaluation of every action of a nurse. Likewise, a nurse must have a professional attitude. In the context of writing this article, deontological ethics will be a model for applying ethics to the nursing profession. Deontological ethics emphasizes moral obligations, which cannot but be the primary choice, which must be carried out for the purpose of that obligation. Action based on obligation is not merely for the purpose of happiness. A morality must be truly autonomous / independent and centered on the human subject. In that framework, every nurse needs to understand that her actions cannot be since the patient needs this kind of treatment, then she carries out or executes it, but beyond that, the nurse must carry out treatment based on the understanding that the actions she takes are her moral obligations towards others (patients).

Language use as stancetaking on motivations for romantic relationships among female undergraduates
Authors: Uwen God'sgift Ogban , Melefa Omotosho Moses , O’Neill Mary Emmanuel
Published: January 2024

This paper explores motivations for love as stancetaking in the discourse on romantic relationships among female undergraduates in two Universities in Southern Nigeria. Insights from Community of Practice and Appraisal Theory were used to instantiate the use of situated linguistic choices to establish the different impulses for female undergraduates’ engagement in heterosexual relationships. Data for the study were generated through (non)participant observation, informal interactions and semi-structured interviews involving a representative sample of 44 female undergraduates. The findings show that the participants utilised youth culture of sexual expressiveness to establish their motivations for love, cognitively construed as stancetaking on romantic relationships with their male sexual partners. Participants’ language use shows that the female students’ motivations for loving their male sexual partners include: high sexual performance, good academic performance, financial benefits, intention to get married in future, access to power and security, and physical attractiveness. This study, aside from establishing the increasing practice of heterosexual relationships among Nigerian university undergraduates, has also presented participants’ motivations for sexual the practices as the girls’ peculiar sexual narrations of their worldview. This also shows the creation of situated linguistic choices as outcome of ‘new’ youth expressive culture as demonstrated in the discourse of their sexual relationships and experience within the liberal university environment.

Claude Chamber
Authors: Myllylä Salla , Vainikka Laura
Published: January 2024

Proto-photographic and proto-cinematic technologies are an unending source of inspiration for a visual artist. We want to consider the case of an eighteenth-century optical device, the Claude mirror, as a starting point for an artistic collaboration.

The Claude mirror is a small black convex mirror named after the painter Claude Lorrain and used by late eighteenth-century and early nineteenth-century painters and travellers for viewing landscapes. The dark mirror surface produces an image with a limited tonal range, allowing the viewer to look at the environment as if it were a painting. A famous Thomas Gainsborough drawing shows a man seated on a bank with a sketchbook on his lap and holding an oval mirror propped against a tree branch (Gainsborough, 1750-55).

In spring 2019, in a flash of joint inspiration, we conceived a method of combining aspects of our artistic processes: Salla’s moving image and Laura’s printmaking practice. For 18 months, we captured photographic time-lapse sequences of everyday views from the backyards of our studios, residencies, and homes as reflections on the surface of copper plates installed in the environment (Myllylä and Vainikka, 2021). In the resulting installation, titled Claude Chamber, we projected the video sequences on the gallery space, reflected via the same mirror surfaces, and the projected images became distorted and spatial.

We were intrigued by this optical device, in which characteristics of photography and printmaking meet. One can think of a Claude glass as a predecessor of the camera viewfinder, an early photographic gesture. It can also be viewed as a printing plate, a matrix reflecting a view. In a traditional printing plate, the image is attached or fastens itself onto the surface of the plate; in our installation, the image is transient and moving.
Practice Beyond Boundaries
Authors: Humphries Clare , Ugazio Renée
Published: January 2024

The Impact 12 Conference asked us to consider how print practitioners have been breaking boundaries through technological innovation and cross-disciplinary practice. What new territories have been unearthed through contesting the field and its proximal position to others? In our earliest conversations about these questions, we realised they were predicated on the assumption that breaking boundaries is good because it allows artists to pursue the new or unconventional. It also supposes that disciplinary progress will require an act of breaking, perhaps a rupture, transgression, or breaching. The notion of breaking boundaries also implies that we exist in a state of disciplinary limitations. Why is it that artists (including us at times) feel compelled to transgress boundaries and reshape the field? Finally, where do we locate the value of practice: Is it as they say ‘on the cutting edge’, or can value be oriented another way?

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have become preoccupied with the production and fortification of boundaries on a personal, community, and global scale. This paper was born from our realisation that the pandemic has amplified, redrafted, and problematised notions of the boundary in the collective imagination. This moment called us—two artists reaching across a disciplinary divide—to question the nature of boundaries and their implications. Our desire to critically assess the value of boundary-making and breaking led us to our thesis: Is there another way to approach disciplinarity without theorising boundaries, territories, and their rupture?
DOCUMENTOS DE DOMÍNIO PÚBLICO EM INTERFACE COM GÊNERO E SEXUALIDADE
Authors: Cirqueira Joel Pereira , Schaefer Henrique Dendena
Published: January 2024

Este artigo propõe uma análise aprofundada sobre o papel das políticas públicas de educação na promoção da integração das temáticas de gênero e sexualidade nos ambientes escolares. A abordagem adotada parte de uma perspectiva educacional crítica, afastando-se de abordagens conservadoras predominantes. Os modelos e métodos pedagógicos do sistema educacional atual são fundamentados em normas, padrões, regras e dogmas que a pedagogia queer busca questionar e debater. A pedagogia queer oferece a possibilidade de construir novos modelos educacionais que não estejam vinculados a uma visão binária de sexualidade e gênero. Essa abordagem rejeita a imposição da heteronormatização compulsória, que, ao ser apresentada como a única forma aceitável de comportamento na escola, restringe parte da sociedade que não se identifica com os padrões heteronormativos, um grupo que tem conquistado crescente visibilidade nos ambientes que frequentamos. Este estudo, de natureza qualitativa que utiliza como método a revisão bibliográfica e a escrevivência, tem como objetivo apresentar memórias do cotidiano dos autores, oferecendo um retrato das políticas públicas relacionadas a gênero e sexualidade, assim como as repercussões desse movimento em suas vidas.

DIDACTIC PRINCIPLES OF TRAINING FUTURE TEACHERS FOR THE USE OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES
Authors: HLIANENKO Kateryna
Published: January 2024

The article analyzes developments on the application of didactic principles in the process of professional training of future teachers of pedagogical disciplines for the innovative technologies use. The conditions and ways of implementing the specified didactic principles are revealed. The following didactic principles are highlighted and systematized: the principle of scientificity; the principle of accessibility of education; the principle of systematicity and consistency; the principle of strength of knowledge, abilities and skills; the principle of visibility; the principle of connection between theory and practice; the principle of consciousness, activity, independence. It is emphasised that the classical principles of didactics in the methodological system with the use of innovative technologies have their own specifics. A discipline using innovative technologies is subject to a number of requirements in the design process: psychological, reflecting the patterns of knowledge acquisition; scientific, reflecting the scientific orientation in the discipline; related to future professional activities reflected in the model of specialist training; software, designing curricula or selecting software methodology for use at a certain stage of the educational process. For the successful implementation of the proposed principles, the following conditions must be met: a high level of organization of the educational process using innovative technologies; the use of appropriate means that stimulate the emergence and development of motivation among future teachers of pedagogical disciplines to use innovative technologies in all types of cognitive activity; systematization of knowledge and skills in the application of innovative technologies in the process of studying a special course; acquisition of future teachers of pedagogical disciplines with the experience of using innovative technologies during social-pedagogical and propaedeutic practices; ensuring the emotionality of learning and creating a favorable atmosphere in the process of educational activities. It is noted that the use of innovative technologies should be carried out taking into account the classical didactic principles that are implemented in the process of training in the conditions of traditional education.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AS A FACTOR FOR IMPROVING THE TRAINING OF MODERN TEACHERS
Authors: SOSNOVA Myroslava
Published: January 2024

The article analyzes developments in improving the training of modern teachers, considers the concept of «quality of education». Emphasis is placed on the fact that a modern specialist in the field of professional education must have a system of developed skills and abilities for the introduction of information technologies into the educational process to improve the assessment of the quality of education. An interpretation of the concept of «information technology» is provided. The author notes that due to the growth of information flows, the use of new pedagogical technologies, the need to meet the needs of personal and professional development of teachers, who are sometimes not fully prepared for the introduction of innovations in the educational process. This leads to certain difficulties in professional activities, including: organization of project and research activities of education seekers; development and implementation of methodical models, technologies and methods; analysis of the results of the educational process and their further use during the design of pedagogical activities; study, generalization and creative use of advanced pedagogical experience. It is noted that the structure of the readiness of future teachers of professional education includes the following components: motivational component as a set of motives adequate to the goals and tasks of pedagogical activity; a content component related to the cognitive sphere of a person and constitutes a system of knowledge necessary for productive pedagogical activity; operational component − a set of abilities and skills of practical problem solving in the process of pedagogical activity. a substantive analysis of the above definitions shows that there are currently two most distinct approaches to the definition of educational information technology. It is noted that in the first case, it is proposed to consider it as a didactic process, organized using a set of fundamentally new means and methods of data processing introduced into the education system, representing the purposeful creation, transmission, preservation, and display of information products with the lowest costs and in accordance with the laws of cognitive activity education seekers. In the second case, we are talking about the creation of a certain technical learning environment, in which information technologies occupy an important place.

Strategi Pemetaan Genangan Banjir Sungai di Kota Pekalongan Menggunakan Model SCS-CN
Authors: Az Zahra Talitha , Abdulharis Rizqi , Nurmaulia Sella Lestari , Julian Miga Magenika
Published: January 2024

Pekalongan City consistently experiences annual floods. In this research, we aimed to map the distribution of potential flood inundation in Pekalongan City under two scenarios: the existing land cover and urban planning (Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah/RTRW). We utilized hydrological modeling to assess the suitability of the RTRW for future implementation. The Soil Conservation Service – Curve Number (SCS-CN) method was employed, incorporating Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data, soil data, precipitation data, and two sets of land cover data (existing and urban planning). The findings indicate that under the existing land cover, approximately 13.97% of the area is susceptible to flooding, while the remaining 86.03% is not at risk. Conversely, the model using the urban planning (RTRW) scenario suggests that 14.06% of the area has the potential to flood, while 85.94% is not susceptible to flooding. The increase in potential flooding in the urban planning scenario may be attributed to the expansion of residential areas and the reduction of plantation and dry land cover. Furthermore, in assessing monthly modeling results, we observed that the area with flood potential is highest in December 2022 and lowest in June 2022. Considering topographical conditions (DEM), we found that the potential for flood inundation is fairly and evenly distributed in flat areas, mostly with elevations of less than 11 meters. Areas at higher elevations are predominantly free from flood potential, but it is noteworthy that certain areas in the Pekalongan Selatan District, with elevations higher than 11 meters, still have the potential for flooding.

Water Semios Chains between Cover and Text In the Diwan of (Rain with Lemon Flavor)
Authors: Otaibi Amira
Published: January 2024

The research investigated the concept of water by grasping its clear connotations in the cover and texts of the Diwan of (Rain with Lemon Flavor), especially in the study text (Women), through the application of the methodology of the American semiotic scientist Charles Sanders Peirce in the procedures of the Simios path and stopping its kinetics by determining the representation, the object, and the interpreter. The research was applied in a careful articulation of the tripartite boundaries of the three categories and concluded with essential results that centered on updating the interpretive water path that revealed the entities of conflict and fierce wars about water and potential life opportunities, as well as the self’s attempt to understand itself and its gender, besides the appearance of poetic resistances and forms of exclamation and denunciation. The icon has proved its continuous vitality between the cover and the text, and the interpreter ended up stopping the kinetics of interpretation with several interpretations.
Safi al-Din al-Hilli’s flirtation I do not make humiliation a ladder A Structural Study
Authors: Ahmed Weam
Published: January 2024

Flirtation poetry for the Arabs represents a vivid image of a kind of innate human relations and a fertile field of behavior for the poetic self, engaging in interactions with the other/beloved within the poetic text. Its aim is to monitor the boundaries of that relationship, highlight the internal structures formed from it, and answer some questions, such as: What are the features of the relationship between the poetic self and the other/beloved? What are the most prominent structural levels that it addresses? And how do the textual structures interact to highlight their behavior and the relationship between them? The study invoked the structural approach to re-veal the poet's vision and to treat the text by examining the structures that formed this vision, relying on several technical tools. The study concluded that the text violated the expectations horizon of the recipient through the centrality of the "ego," expressing its uniqueness in taking paths that contradict the orientations of lovers.

The descriptive analytical method was used in this study. In this research, descriptive and analytical methodologies are used. The research utilized 20 Arabic sentence exams to outline the research topic, and the 30 second-tier degree students, currently studying English at Al-Baha University in Beljurshi, participated. According to the data, students failed to translate word collocations because they employed the word-for-word translation technique, not comprehending that any word paired with another results in a distinct meaning of the collocation, a lack of social and cultural information in the language, and an inadequate awareness of each other. This is due to the variety of meanings of the same term in a language other than the mother tongue. There are many meanings in English, making collocation translation difficult, and students' ignorance of the differences between Arabic and an English collocation is blamed for the difficulties in translating collocations. Collocations that were not covered by the study, such as countable noun collocations, sound collocations, and simile collocations, should be researched further.

Authors: Alfauzan Abdullah
Published: January 2024

The act of writing, which we read in the prevalent identity discourse in the world of the self or woven by the speaking, writing ego generally, moves in two directions: one is declared and known, and the second is unknown and implied. This implied unknown is often realized in the individual's reference object in its relationship to the movement of time and history, along with the awareness of the human soul that connects the insides of the self and the outer life. This matter represents several aspects of what revolves in the sphere of the self or the ego as an existential framework whose features are explored through the process of the written act, syntactically and semantically, as required by the contexts of self-literary writing that display metaphorical images of the self as it enters the memory room, capturing the parts of the personality that reveal the development of the individual and gathering them in the narrative of the individual’s life. That is what makes this art distinctive, and by that, we mean the act of writing in written genres such as "Memoirs," "Biographies," and "Diaries." These genres are concerned with methods and techniques and are characterized by subtle differences between them in writing and weaving; they take on a special character and have particular connotations when compared to other genres classified in the category of self-writing or the system belonging to reference literature.

Color is the main attraction in choosing food; therefore, manufacturers do various ways to produce good colors without considering the consumer's health. Natural colors are a safe choice for health; besides being safe, natural dyes can also provide functional properties to those who consume them. The study aimed to determine the activity of natural dyes and their functional properties when mixed with chemically modified arrowroot starch. This study used a factorial design with chemical modification factor A and factor B, a ratio of dragon fruit extract to the amount of starch, with three repetitions. The best treatment was A2B3 (cross-link, starch with dragon fruit 1:2) because it had the treatment with the most visible color. This treatment has an antioxidant content of 38.95%, a polyphenol content of 106.19 mg GAE/g, a color of 76.88, and an anthocyanin content of 0.71 mg/100g.
