Published: July 2023

The writing of this article aims to improve reading and listening skills by using the method of speed reading in Indonesian language learning in fifth-grade elementary school students because Indonesian is the language we use in everyday life, therefore learning Indonesian must be taught to children as early as possible so that children can know well about the language in their country. The methodology used in this paper is the method of studying literature or it can be called a literature review. This literature review is an important tool as a context review to assist authors in completing a study. The results of this literature study make students faster in reading because in the process of speed reading there are also listening skills that help students not to read many times so they can understand the contents of the reading and not waste a lot of time and can facilitate the teacher in delivering all information. The skills of reading, listening and speed reading are a unity that cannot be separated because they are interrelated with one another. Keywords: Reading, Listening, Speed Reading method, Indonesian.

La coordinación y la transferencia en un dispositivo clínico para formadoras de docentes
Authors: Manrique María Soledad
Published: July 2023

El trabajo presenta el resultado del análisis de un dispositivo de formación de tipo clínico enfocando particularmente en las coordinadoras y en sus modos de intervención, así como en el modo en que las participantes se vinculan con ellas y con la propuesta de formación. El dispositivo fue diseñado con fines de investigación y de intervención. Se planteó ofrecer un espacio de reflexión y auto-observación para formadoras de docentes de profesorados de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Desde el marco epistemológico de la complejidad (Morin, 1996) y partiendo de una estrategia metodológica cualitativa y hermenéutica se aplicó análisis de contenido (Krippendorf, 1997) sobre los siete encuentros del dispositivo de formación, sobre las entrevistas a las coordinadoras y sobre las supervisiones, realizadas a continuación, en la que participaban los cuatro miembros del equipo de coordinación: la coordinadora, la co-coordinadora, la supervisora y la observadora. El análisis cualitativo permite categorizar las intervenciones del equipo coordinador y diferenciar las funciones que cumplieron la coordinadora y a cocoordinadora. Hipotetizamos que esta división de funciones entre ellas contribuyó con lo que desde el marco teórico psicoanalítico es entendido como “escisión de la transferencia”, y que fue parte de los mecanismos defensivos puestos en juego por el grupo en su proceso formativo. Se analiza el proceso en su complejidad.
Discourse from the Perspective of Mohammed Arkoun: An Examination of the Values of Interfaith Dialogue
Authors: Imronudin Imronudin , Muhammad Riza
Published: July 2023

Interfaith dialogue is presented to appreciate the truth in others and work together to realize actual problems, such as citizenship rights, violence, ignorance, poverty, equality, injustice, social inequality, and so on. Arkoun's influence with the post-structuralist reveals the critical urgency of religious teachings in shaping the integrity of society. So, in Arkoun's thought, every interpretation is not sacred and must be done with a sociocultural approach that is contextual and open to criticism. He sought to deconstruct Islamic thought, which was considered sacred and closed, using the social sciences approach to represent a humanist, rational, and loving dialogue. This research method uses critical analysis methods with Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutic approach in reading sources about Mohammed Arkoun. The results of this research are the development of contemporary Islamic thought by Arkoun by presenting Islam as Epistemology, including producing interreligious dialogue as a tool to create tolerance, prioritize dialogue, and establish a brotherhood.

Published: July 2023

Having analyzed the literature sources, it is revealed that digital production includes not only full automation of production processes, but also the creation of a multi-level infrastructure for their control on the basis of information technologies. Technical solutions based on this approach will significantly intensify production processes. The possibilities of automation and digitalization of ultrasonic technological processes are viewed through the creation of a hardware and software com-plex that includes technological and measuring equipment, as well as software to select the most effective technical solu-tions. Some general principles of creating ultrasonic technologies are substantiated, their stages of development include setting the task, analysis of the processing object, selection of the processing scheme and equipment, process control and quality monitoring. Methodological approaches to the implementation of production processes with a multi-level process control infrastructure based on information technologies are proposed. Examples of developed software products are given, with the help of which search engine optimization methods are used to select equipment and rational processing modes. It shows not only the possibility of using automated technology, but also the creation of a self-learning technological system based on it. The development and creation of equipment for the implementation of the proposed technical solutions has in its basis general principles of using numerical control software. The proposed algorithm can be used for a wide range of ultra-sonic technologies: cleaning, surface plastic deformation, coating, cutting, etc. In addition, the combination of the choice of technical and information solutions makes quick switch from one type of processing to another possible. Recommendations on the implementation of the proposed technical and information solutions are given.
Engineering support for the manufacture of gears of aviation gas turbine engines providing for the instability of the physical and mechanical properties of their materials
Authors: Bezyazychnyy Vyacheslav , Evgeniya Vladimirovna
Published: July 2023

The key place in the production of gas turbine engines, including gears, both aviation and marine, also power generation turbines, is given to sectional steels. Consequently, not just a physical nature of gear wheels manufacture plays an im-portant part, but formal characterization and the supply of physical and mechanical properties of materials are in the prior-ity, taking into account the reliability of the materials. The problem of technological support for the manufacture of gears for gas turbine engines is viewed with simultaneous analysis of the part material, its manufacturing technology and investi-gated inseparably from each other. The interrelation of working surfaces quality and technological and strength character-istics with respect to operational properties is developed. The instability of the mechanical properties of the structural ma-terial is investigated and their formation is justified on the basis of technological heredity in accordance with the techno-logical process of manufacturing a part to its material and purpose. The instability of physical and mechanical properties is clearly presented on the example of one steel grade, but with different methods of obtaining the workpiece and the material in as-received condition. The influence of heat treatment on the stabilization of the physical and mechanical properties of the material, taking into account the inheritance of properties, is studied. A model of the contact interaction of gears has been developed taking into account external and internal influences, both during preparation and under operation (materi-al properties, engagement forces, temperature field, etc.). The cumulative model, focused on the reaction of the structural material in machining and interaction in work, summarizes a functional use, physical and mechanical properties and fea-tures of behavior in operating conditions. The control of the operational properties of gears is presented in an inseparable connection with technology and their materials such as structural state and physical and mechanical properties.

Omnivoyeur. Comentario a The Truman Show, de Peter Weir
Authors: Laso Eduardo
Published: July 2023

Lacan plantea que desde el origen somos objetos dados a ver, sin que esto requiera imaginar un Otro absoluto que nos mire. Porque de suceder eso, se hace presente la mirada de un Omnivoyeur que genera la ilusión en el sujeto de quedar reducido a ser eso que se ve. Lacan aclara que el sujeto del deseo no queda enteramente atrapado en esa captura imaginaria, en tanto es capaz de aislar la función de la pantalla y jugar con ella. El film de Peter Weir The Truman Show es en este sentido una épica del deseo, en tanto narra la historia de un personaje sometido a la mirada de millones de espectadores de un reality show, y cómo logra salir de ese encierro.

Kgaria (Boletaceae, Boletoideae) gen. nov. in Australia: Neither a Tylopilus nor a Porphyrellus
Authors: Halling R.E. , Fechner N.A. , Holmes G. , Davoodian N.
Published: July 2023

Kgaria is described as a new porphyrellus-like genus of Boletaceae to accommodate Tylopilus cyanogranulifer, a dark brown to dull lilac/violet, or rarely, nearly black bolete with a series of oxidation reactions progressing from blue to red then nearly black and
a dark brown spore deposit. Idiosyncratic blue-green pigment encrustations (cyanogranules) and a similarly colored reaction of the hyphae located on pileus and stipe surfaces are also diagnostic. Phylogenetic analyses of nuclear large-subunit rDNA (nrLSU), translation elongation factor 1-alpha
(tef-1), and the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (rpb2) infer Kgaria as a unique generic lineage with two species, one of which is newly described (K. similis). Tylopilus olivaceoporus, originally described at the same time and as distinct
from T. cyanogranulifer, appears to be conspecific with the latter. Some darkly pigmented taxa with similar oxidation reactions that were recently described from Brazil, Guyana, and China are further supported by morphology and molecular data as discrete lineages in separate
genera in subfamily Boletoideae.

Life processes from fundamental interactions
Authors: McCorkle Richard A.
Published: July 2023

Life processes arise from fundamental interactions by way of the synergistic effect of suprathermal energy input (10-20 kT by ATP hydrolysis for example) to functionally important macromolecular motions that occur within ambient ion gated electromagnetic resonance windows (characteristically 1 to 10 Tera-rad/sec). Encompassing spatial organization and temporal history, those processes are controlled by the dynamic and structured dispersive dielectric tensor components of the aqueous intracellular ambient. Transients in electrolyte concentration, strongly dependent on multivalent ions, provide the windows for conformational modes attendant to macromolecular selective long-range recognition, attraction and interaction. Extension to the intercellular ambient is warranted. The experimental basis for this model arises from biology, chemistry, and physics.
Measuring How Information Changes Electoral Uncertainty in a Developing Democracy: Experimental Evidence from the Country of Georgia
Authors: Erlich Aaron
Published: July 2023

How do the receipt and perceived quality of election information impact citizens' forecasts and interpretations of actual election results? I hypothesize that three factors shape how citizensemploy electoral information in developing democracies: the distribution of their beliefs prior to receiving information, the perceived quality of this information, and how actual election results align with their expectations. To test my theory, I develop anew elicitation technique to measure subjects' distribution of expectations pre and post-treatment. I employ this technique in a lab-in-the-fieldexperiment in the country of Georgia, where I vary the identity of the endorser of poll predictions derived from a pre-election survey I conducted and used as the information treatment. I find the endorser of the information is the strongest predictor of whether subjects change the distribution of their beliefs. I also propose uses of my technique beyond the developing democracy context.

Acute stress enhances memory and preference for smoking-related associations in smokers
Authors: Lee Jeung-Hyun , Kang Sanghoon , Maier Silvia U. , Lee Sang Ah , Goldfarb Elizabeth , Ahn Woo-Young
Published: July 2023

Nicotine dependence follows a chronic course that is characterized by repeated relapse, often driven by acute stress and rewarding memories of smoking retrieved from related contexts. These two triggers can also interact, with stress influencing retrieval of contextual memories. However, the roles of these processes in nicotine dependence remain unknown. In order to address this, we investigated how acute stress biases memory for smoking-associated contexts among smokers (N=65) using a novel laboratory paradigm. On Day 1, participants formed associations between visual stimuli of items (either neutral or related to smoking) and places (background scenes). On Day 2 (24 hours later), participants were exposed to an acute laboratory-based stressor (socially evaluated cold pressor test; N=32) or a matched control condition (N=33) prior to being tested on their memory recognition and preferences for each item and place. We distinguished the accuracy of memory into specific (i.e., precisely correct) or gist (i.e., lure items with similar content) categories. Results demonstrated that the stressor significantly induced physiological and subjective perceived stress responses, and that stressed smokers exhibited a memory bias in favor of smoking-related items. In addition, the stressed group displayed greater preference for both smoking-related items and places that had been paired with the smoking-related items. We also found suggestive evidence that stronger smoking-related memory biases were associated with more severe nicotine dependence (i.e., years of smoking). We believe these results highlight the role of stress in biasing smokers toward remembering contexts associated with smoking, and in amplifying their preference for these contexts. The current study elucidates the role of acute stress in promoting memory biases favoring smoking-related associations among smokers. The results suggest that the retrieval of smoking-biased associative memory could be a crucial factor in stress related nicotine seeking. This may lead to a potential intervention targeting the extinction of smoking-related context memories as a preventive strategy for stress-induced relapse.
Investigating the Implementation of the Buffer Zone Approach in Development: A Case Study of Suklaphanta Wildlife Reserve, Kanchanpur, Nepal
Authors: DC Daman Dhoj
Published: July 2023

The study conducted in February-March 2023 aimed to assess the socio-economic status of rural communities residing in the buffer zone surrounding Suklaphanta Wildlife Reserve (SWR) in Kanchanpur district, referred to as a zone of impact adjacent to the Conservation Area. The buffer zone covers various locations, including Bhim att, Bedkot municipality, Suklaphanta municipality, Beldandi Village municipality, and others. Data was collected through household surveys in five sample locations: Chathari, Sunderpur, Bagphanta, Nayagaun, and Lalpur. A total of 50 households were surveyed, with 10 sample households per location, using structured questionnaires and observation sheets. Findings from the study indicated an average family size of 6.08 individuals, with varying levels of education among adults. Approximately 74% of households were primarily engaged in agriculture, while other means of occupation included hotel business, trade, and service sector jobs. The study also highlighted the significant role of women in farming activities and childcare. Tourism was identified as an emerging economic activity in the buffer zone, with around 55% of visitors coming from different parts of the country to SWR. The Wildlife Reserve positively impacted the socio-economic environment by conserving natural resources, promoting greenery, and contributing to income and employment generation. Respondents acknowledged the buffer zone's importance in water resource conservation, with 90% agreeing that it was fruitful in this regard. However, around 6% reported facing challenges due to wild animals. Ultimately, if future initiatives align with the buffer zone's potential, the study concluded that rural poverty could be reduced, and the livelihoods of people in the area could be improved.
Use of Proverb in Nepali Language Teaching
Authors: Bhandari Indra Bahadur
Published: July 2023

Language is not only a means of human exchange of ideas, but is a gift of nature for humans only. Along with the development of language, people are advancing in the world by raising many horizons of development. The more the development of language, the more people is limiting the world within a narrow circle. Every dynamic language in the world is developing new methods and methods for its development. Similarly, among the dynamic languages, Nepali is also a dynamic and developing language. The Nepali language, developed from the Sanskrit language, has spread its influence in various countries besides Nepal. Modern linguistics recognizes language teaching as an important means of language development. Language teaching is to emphasize the specific use and development of the language while developing the listening, speaking, reading and writing of the language. Even within the same language, there are many differences, even the linguistic differences up to the language of the individual; many linguistic errors are seen in the standard use of the language. Since Nepal is a multi-lingual country, many problems have been observed in teaching language to students from different linguistic communities in the same class. It is necessary to choose appropriate linguistic materials to make language learning effective in bilingual classes. Therefore, proverbs can become very useful linguistic materials for teaching Nepali language and when using proverbs, students learn the specific use of the language on the one hand, and on the other hand, they can use the moral education given by the proverbs collected by the folk society for centuries in their daily life.

विपद् व्यवस्थापनलाई फरक-फरक व्यक्ति वा समूहहरुले फरक-फरक अर्थमा बुझ्ने गरेको पाइन्छ। सुरक्षा निकायले खोज तथा उद्धारको रुपमा बुझ्छन् भने गैर सरकारी क्षेत्रले उद्धार पश्चात वितरण गरिने राहतको रुपमा बुझ्छन्। विकास निर्माणमा संलग्न निकायहरुले विपद्को पूर्व तयारीलाई विपद् व्यवस्थापन भनेर बुझ्ने गर्छन भने अन्यले विपद् पश्चात गरिने पुनर्निर्माण तथा पुर्न विपद् व्यवस्थापन भनेर बुझ्ने गर्छन। यस विषयलाई गहिरिएर हेर्दा, केही विज्ञहरुले यस क्षेत्रलाई जीवन वृत्ति चलाउने वा देशविदेश घुम्ने अवसरको रुपमा समेत बुझी विपद् व्यवस्थापनका धेरै समस्याहरु देखाएर यसमा केही समाधान समेत ल्याएको पाइन्छ, तर हाम्रा यी समाधानहरू पहिलाको समस्याभन्दा खराब भएको छ। यसका कारणहरु केलाइ सही समाधान के हुनसक्छ र नेपालको विपद् व्यवस्थापनलाई हालको नीतिगत तथा कार्यान्वयनगत भुमरीबाट पार लगाउने उपाय के छ तथा विपद् व्यवस्थापन जस्तो विशुद्ध विज्ञान हुनुपर्ने गहनतालाई तोडमोड गरी बुझाईएको संकुचन र विस्तारमा अल्झाई यस्तो संवेदनशील विषयलाई जीवन वृत्ति वा अवसर बनाई समग्र स्वरुपमा हेरिनुको साटो हामीकहाँ देखिएका फरक स्वरुपहरु र यसका तत्काल समाधानका उपायका विषयमा आलेख केन्द्रित रहेको छ।
Bank Interest Rates and Deposit Growth in Nepal
Authors: Pathak Arjun Bahadur
Published: July 2023

Nepalese banking is characterized by the fragmented system where different classes of banks and financial institutions operate simultaneously. Recently, sluggish deposit growth leads to tighter Credit to Deposit Ratio (CD-ratio) and banks suffer from deficit of loanable funds. Immediate response of banks at the time of shortfall of deposit is increasing deposit interest rate. Does bank’s strategy of increasing deposit rate work? This is key question of this paper. This study aims to find the interest elasticity of bank deposit in Nepalese commercial banks. Monthly average data of deposit and interest are used for the purpose of analysis and the result shows unitary elasticity of interest rate. Bank deposit and bank’s liquid assets holding have highly significant negative relationship. This study reveals weak association of interest rate change and deposit growth. Banks are recommended to increase banking access and enhance better banking services for sustainable deposit growth.

Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a group of recessive genetic congenital disorders characterised by a disorder of melanin synthesis. OCA is currently classified into seven different types, of which OCA type 2 (OCA2 - OMIM 203200) ranks as the second most common type of albinism in the world and accounts for nearly 30% of albinism cases. Nowadays, there is currently no known way to treat OCA. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is the most effective method of disease prevention, which helps families carrying gene mutations to have healthy children. Objectives: To develop a procedure and conduct PGD for embryos of a family carrying the OCA2 mutation causing OCA2. Materials and methods: Research subjects are blood samples of four members of an OCA family, including father, mother, and two daughters; and 6 embryo biopsies on day 5 of this parents. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was carried out on family members participating in the study. Based on the identified mutation results, primers for PCR amplification of the segments spanning the detected mutation were designed. Then, Sanger sequencing method is combined with linkage genetic analysis to detect pathogenic mutations on embryo biopsies after whole-genome amplification (WGA). Results: A novel mutation NM_000275.3:c.2323G>A (NP_000266.2: p.Gly775Ser) was detected on exon 22 of the OCA2 gene. The outcomes of PGD for 6 embryos of a family carrying the OCA2 mutant gene causing OCA2 were 3 affected embryos, 2 normal embryos, and 1 carriers.

A breast cyst is common in premenopausal women (61.5%) in comparision with the menopause population (39.4%) and the most common age is 35 to 50. The treatment of breast cyst using a microwave with a lot of advantages should be a considered method. This study aims to evaluate the early result of breast cyst treatment with microwave in ultrasound guidance in breast unit of Cho Ray hospital. The authors prospectively reviewed patients who underwent breast cyst treatment using microwave ablation at the Unit of Breast, Cho Ray Hospital from August 2018 to March 2020. Results showed that 58 patients are reviewed. The average age is 45.3. The proportion of simple breast cyst, complicated breast cyst and complex breast cyst are 80.0, 16.93, and 3.07%, prospectively. The average diameter of ablated cysts is 23.86 mm. All of the patients have complete respondence after treatment, the decrease in size ratio has reach more than 90% after 6 months. No complication is recorded in treatment process. There is one case, with calcification of cyst wall, do not respond with microwave ablation. Microwave ablation procedure is the promising method for symtom breast cyst with high rate of success and low rate of complication. Breast cyst with calcificated wall should have careful assessment before the procedure.

This research is to find out how significant the influence is simultaneously and partially between the marketing mix and purchasing decisions. The research method used is quantitative which is analyzed using SPSS ver.17. the results of the study indicate that there is a significant influence between all marketing mix variables on purchasing decisions. The contribution of the Product variable (X1) which explains the Purchase Decision (Y) is the lowest with 0.755 while the highest is the Process variable (X5), which is 3.500. Determination (R2) shows that the percentage of influence of the independent variables (product, price, promotion, place and process) is 72%. These results show that R2 is close to 1, so the percentage of influence given by the independent variable on the dependent variable is close to 100%. 1. Companies must improve the quality of the company, especially in the process and promotion, because these variables have the greatest contribution among other variables in influencing purchasing decisions, namely the process variable is 4.3264% and the promotion variable is 84.64%.
