ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF CRYPTOCURRENCY MINING: SUSTAINABILITY CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS
Authors: Winotoatmojo Hugo Prasetyo , Lazuardy Samuel Yesua , Arland Fabian , Setyawan Antonius Ary
Published: March 2024

The rapid growth of cryptocurrencies over the past 14 years has led to increased deep-level mining activities. This research aims to explore the environmental impacts resulting from the surge in crypto mining and proposed solutions to mitigate these impacts. Cryptocurrencies, gaining popularity as alternative investments and global payment tools, have significantly boosted crypto mining activities. However, the increasing number of transactions requiring computer validation has resulted in adverse consequences for the environment, particularly in terms of substantial energy consumption. Literature review and systematic analysis were conducted to comprehend the environmental impact of crypto mining, focusing on major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others. The analysis highlights that crypto mining, especially Bitcoin, requires a significant amount of electricity, leading to a substantial carbon footprint and broad environmental repercussions. Proposed solutions to address the environmental impact of crypto mining include the use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, enhancing the efficiency of specialized mining devices (ASICs), and exploring more energy-efficient consensus mechanisms like Proof of Stake (PoS) compared to the currently utilized Proof of Work (PoW). Reducing redundancy in blockchain technology has also been identified as a crucial step in minimizing unnecessary energy consumption. However, this research has limitations concerning data consistency, a comprehensive understanding of overall environmental impacts, and continuous technological changes in the crypto world. Therefore, future research should focus on developing more efficient consensus mechanisms, effective policy frameworks and governance, as well as real-world implementation studies to evaluate the sustainability solutions proposed.

Authors: Ramírez Chávez Máximo Abel , Ramírez Torres Tatiana Zulema
Published: March 2024

A nivel de investigación científica, muchos son los métodos que se emplean para lograr explicar determinados fenómenos, uno de estos, es el método Delphi, que en los últimos años ha adquirido la atención de diversos grupos de investigadores de un grupo muy variado y disímil de áreas. Este es un método que busca anticipar situaciones relacionadas a un tema en particular, y se fundamenta en las opiniones de un panel de expertos sobre el tema investigado. La revisión de la literatura muestra no solo a los que aplauden este procedimiento, sino a que también a los detractores del mismo, sin embargo, de manera general poco se ha difundido de este método más allá del conocimiento sobre este que los investigadores que aplican el método aprenden antes de emplearlo. Este estudio tiene por objeto el compilar los aspectos teóricos que definen a este método además de aportar una base sustentable bibliográficamente, de fortalezas o deficiencias de este método en la implementación de investigaciones científicas, que sirva de sustento para investigadores que consideren el empleo de esta técnica, Así mismo, la presente revisión teórica intenta mostrar en esbozo de la magnitud del empleo de este procedimiento de investigación en el área educacional. Delphi puede considerarse como una herramienta útil en el diseño curricular. Lo recogido en este trabajo, muestra que el debate sobre el rigor metodológico de esta técnica todavía está en discusión, por lo cual, no debe ser ignorada para la evaluación de situaciones particulares que requieran muestrear la opinión de personas alejadas geográficamente.

El marco legal ecuatoriano establece el respeto a la diversidad para un entorno escolar inclusivo, enfatizando la eliminación de cualquier barrera de aprendizaje, sobre todo a estudiantes que presentan necesidades educativas específicas, sin embargo, en el proceso de inclusión se evidencian desafíos significativos como la carencia de estrategias efectivas a través del uso de recursos audiovisuales. La presente investigación pretende explorar las estrategias efectivas empleadas para la inclusión de niños con necesidades educativas específicas a través del uso de recursos audiovisuales en el ámbito educativo. La metodología se basó en un enfoque cualitativo con alcance descriptivo, el cual permitió realizar una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica disponible de la última década en base de datos como Scopus, Scielo, Dialnet y Redalyc, y se utilizó el programa COVIDENCE bajo los parámetros del PRISMA, por tanto, se consideraron únicamente 8 artículos científicos por su relevancia. Los resultados indican que las estrategias más efectivas para la inclusión son las adaptaciones curriculares y el uso de las tecnologías con la integración de recursos audiovisuales diseñados para abordar problemáticas que presentan los estudiantes con NEE, en su mayor parte, para dificultades de comunicación.

Authors: Suraya Citra , Sansuwito Tukimin bin , Wisuda Aris Citra , Rusmarita
Published: March 2024

The Integrated Patient Development Record documents interprofessional collaboration in patient care for health services, especially for patients with chronic problems, including diabetes mellitus. This study aims to determine the completeness of integrated patient progress records in diabetes mellitus patients. This type of research uses a qualitative descriptive method with a sample of 45 people and interviews with five respondents. Based on the research results, 11 forms (24.5%) had data filled in, and 34 forms (75.5%) had incomplete data. The problem factor in filling out integrated patient progress notes lies in verifying the responsible doctor and the results of the service provider's professional instructions. This is due to the large number of patients and limited time. The author provides suggestions for filling out integrated patient progress notes to support accreditation document service standards: a) increase the professional accuracy of service providers in filling out incomplete integrated patient progress notes. b) there needs to be socialization regarding standard operational procedures for integrated patient recording to minimize incomplete forms.

Published: March 2024

1) O que é a Aprendizagem Baseada em Projetos?A aprendizagem baseada em projetos é uma metodologia ativa que, apesar de sermuito discutida atualmente, surgiu em 1919 como uma proposta pedagógica quevisava levar os estudantes a desenvolver os pressupostos teóricos aliados com aprática, em contrapartida com a metodologia tradicional.A ABP prioriza o desenvolvimento do pensamento crítico, da autonomia, do trabalhoem equipe e do aprender a aprender. Muitas pessoas confundem a aprendizagembaseada em projetos com a aprendizagem com projetos, ou ainda, com realizarprojetos no âmbito profissional. A aprendizagem baseada em projetos tem comoprincipal objetivo o que se aprende enquanto se constrói e não o produto final, paraisso, é necessário que haja um acompanhamento e feedback constante (que nãoacontece na aprendizagem com projetos), um engajamento do estudante – por isso éimportante pensar cada projeto adequado ao contexto – além de uma conexão com arealidade/necessidades da sociedade.Muitos educadores alegam que a aprendizagem baseada em projetos só funciona emperíodos mais avançados, pois os alunos necessitam ter um embasamento teóricoantes de realizar as práticas, mas tal percepção é equivocada tendo em vista que oprincipal objetivo dessa metodologia é aliar esses dois aspectos, já que, na vida real,teoria e prática não se separam e devem ser aliadas para que possamos realizar demandas do mercado de trabalho e da sociedade. Ao utilizar a Aprendizagembaseada em projetos não se espera que o estudante tenha um resultado (na entregado produto).

Authors: Kristiani Widiyatno Yovita , Wihandono Asdi , Handayani Samsriyaningsih
Published: March 2024

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. This study aims to investigate and analyze the relationship between the level of physical activity and the occurrence of breast cancer at Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya. The research method employed in this study is correlation analysis. The sample population was obtained from the Cancer Service Development Center (PPLK) at Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya. The results of this study indicate that the majority of the 53 research subjects suffering from breast cancer had low-intensity physical activity since childhood to adolescence, with 41.5% of the total subjects (22 patients). In contrast, only 24.5% (13 patients) and 34% (18 patients) had moderate and high-intensity physical activity, respectively. Statistical analysis using Microsoft Excel version 2019 and SPSS showed that the calculated Chi-square value was greater than the tabulated Chi-square value, thus rejecting the null hypothesis (H0). This indicates a significant relationship between the intensity of physical activity during childhood to adolescence and the occurrence of breast cancer in the research subjects. This study implicates the importance of awareness regarding the significance of physical activity in maintaining breast health, especially from a young age. The practical implication of this research is the necessity of a preventive approach to breast cancer involving the promotion of a healthy lifestyle and regular physical activity, particularly during childhood and adolescence.
The Influence of Diversification and Corporate Governance Implementation on Company Value with Company Size as a Moderation Model in Manufacturing Companies Listed on the Stock Exchange from 2020 to 2022
Authors: Natalia Kristanti Yosephine , Mulya Hadri
Published: March 2024

This study aims to analyze the influence of diversification and corporate governance implementation on firm value, with firm size as a moderating variable, in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2020-2022. The research method employed is causal research. The population of the study comprises 193 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, with classical assumption tests and hypothesis testing used as analytical techniques. The results of the analysis indicate that diversification does not have a significant influence on firm value. However, the independence of the board of commissioners and the competence of the audit committee significantly affect firm value. Additionally, firm size serves as a significant moderating variable in influencing the relationship between the independence of the board of commissioners, competence of the audit committee, and firm value. The implications of these findings are to provide valuable insights for practitioners and academics in understanding the factors influencing firm value in the Indonesian capital market. This underscores the importance of effective corporate governance implementation, particularly through enhancing the independence of the board of commissioners and the competence of the audit committee, as well as a better understanding of how firm size can moderate the relationship between these factors and firm value.
Influencing Factors as well as Implementation Path of Synergistic Development of Digitalization and Greening in Manufacturing Industry: Analysis from a Configuration Perspective
Authors: haiyong Jiang , Han Yinghui , Qin Yan
Published: March 2024

The manufacturing sector must incorporate digitalization and greening as crucial strategies to attain high level of development in the context of the digital economy, given its significant role in quality of environment. Most of existing studies explore net effect of a single or several factors on the digitalization or greening in the manufacturing industry. Limited investigation has been done to integrate various factors impacting the connection and synchronized advancement of digitalization and greening within the manufacturing. Factors affecting the synergy of digitalization and green change within manufacturing are recognized in this article, and a theoretical framework is established to analyze. FsQCA tool is also put into use to survey configurational cases, which contains synergy degree of green digitalization from 30 provinces’ manufacturing in China. Results show that: (1) Between 2007 and 2020, the development level of digital-green integration in the manufacturing industry shows an upward trend. There are three types of collaborative modes, namely, "industrial robot driven" "market development driven" and "market development driven - industrial robot driven", with each mode consisting of at least one to four equivalent pathways. (2) The marketization level and application of industrial robots are the important external and internal pulling forces that drive the synergy degree of digitalization and green change within manufacturing industry, respectively.(3) The influencing factors of the collaborative mode choice of digital-green development within manufacturing industry are complementary, among which, the degree of marketization is similar to the role of industrial robots in the configuration, which are capable to weaken the negative impact from insufficient government R&D investment support under specific conditions; (4) The non-high collaborative state of digital green in manufacturing industry is mainly due to the low level of marketization, openness, and economic development, as well as the low application rate of industrial robots and software products. This study enriches the theoretical understanding on digitalization and green change of manufacturing industry. Meanwhile, it also provides insights to advance the integrated and synergistic advancement of digital green transformation in manufacturing practice.

“Substantive and Feminist Girlie Action”: Women Online
Authors: Rhodes Jacqueline
Published: March 2024

Radical feminist textuality of the 1960s and today provides a suggestive example of networked and collectively literate action, action dependent on the constant and visible contextualization of self and writing within the discourses that shape us. In this essay, I argue that an articulation of radical feminist textuality can benefit both scholarship and classroom, in that it situates writers as rhetorical agents who can write, resist, and, finally act within a network of discourses and identifications.
Nonstandard Quotes: Superimpositions and Cultural Maps
Authors: Schneider Barbara
Published: March 2024

We regularly chastise students for placing quotation marks around words that are not direct quotations. Yet, as this research shows, professionals use nonstandard quotations routinely and to rhetorical advantage. After analyzing the various purposes nonstandard quotations serve, I argue student use of the marks jars us not because it departs from good practice but because, through them, students invoke voices we do not want to recognize.
Whistlin’ and Crowin’ Women of Appalachia: Literacy Practices since College
Authors: Sohn Katherine Kelleher

Tlaltelolco: The Grammatical-Rhetorical Indios of Colonial Mexico
Authors: Romano Susan
Published: March 2024

This essay focuses on the grammar–rhetoric–composition program at the Colegio de Santa Cruz de Tlaltelolco, a sixteenth–century institution of higher education in Mexico, to argue for a more amply conceived set of colonialist beginnings for American composition. As an emergent site for North American composition–rhetoric, Tlaltelolco launched phenomena familiar to contemporary scholarship, for example composition-rhetoric as attractor for public debates about race and class, as sponsor of debased curricula for people of color, and as re–enforcer of linkages among color, class, aptitude, and local discourse practices.
Who Killed Annabel Lee? Writing about Literature in the Composition Classroom
Authors: Richardson Mark
Published: March 2024

The author reopens the vexed question of the use of literature in first–ear composition courses to suggest that reading and writing about literature can empower students to construct their own interpretations of cultural artifacts rather than deferring to canonical knowledge. Using his students’ work with Poe’s â€œAnnabel Leeâ€ as an example, he shows how such a practice can work if it places the work in a context appropriate to the literacies of first–year students and privileges the knowledge they bring with them to the academy.

This essay considers why some subjects associated with English studies achieve disciplinary status while others, such as theory and multicultural literature, fail to do so, suggesting that what is required for such status is the establishment of epistemological difference from other areas in the field. The author uses the example of creative writing’s emergence as a model of what it means to achieve disciplinary status, what benefits accrue to a field that does, and who stands to gain from that emergence.
Democracy, Capitalism, and the Ambivalence of Willa Cather’s Frontier Rhetorics: Uncertain Foundations of the U.S. Public University System
Authors: Chaput Catherine
Published: March 2024

The author argues that, far from being a recent development, the corporatization of the university has been part of the often uneasy coexistence of democratic and capitalist interests throughout the history of the U.S. university system. She explores the relationship among higher education, democracy, and corporatization within Willa Cather’s O Pioneers!, My Ãntonia, and The Professor’s House to demonstrate an early public recognition of this corporatization as well as the way it has been historically obfuscated.
Opinion: Our Future Donors
Authors: Miller Richard E.
Published: March 2024

The author proposes a different way to phrase the problems that public colleges and universities face in the current economy. He argues that it is now crucial to the long–term financial well–being of public institutions of higher education to improve the working conditions of instructors in writing programs, precisely because of the relationship between those programs and the students who are the universities’ major stakeholders and future donors.
The Economics of Exposition: Managerialism, Current-Traditional Rhetoric, and Henry Noble Day
Authors: Longaker Mark Garrett
Published: March 2024

Through an examination of the work of the nineteenth-century American rhetorician Henry Noble Day the author suggests that the causal relationship usually identified between economic formations and genres such as exposition is not a purely one-way process. Day’s rhetorics, he argues, were not only shaped by the economies of Taylorism but also were themselves engaged in a sociohistorical process of class formation, suggesting that such a study of the connections among managerialism, current-traditional rhetoric, and class formation raises important questions for our own work today.

Deflecting the Political in the Visual Images of Execution and the Death Penalty Debate
Authors: George Diana , Shoos Diane
Published: March 2024

Examining a range of visual images of executions, both legal (the executions of convicted murderers) and extralegal (the lynchings of innocent African Americans), in still photographs and in Hollywood films, the authors suggest that while such images may flatten and neutralize the popular debates and politics surrounding the issues, this is not inevitable, and that if we work at sustaining careful attention to its operations the image is neither self-evident nor doomed to obscure the political.

Multiculturalisms Past, Present and Future
Authors: Edelstein Marilyn
Published: March 2024

Surveying the current state of our “plural and dynamic multiculturalisms” and directing attention to valuable resources in anthologies and criticism, the author suggests that multicultural studies might now focus more on resistance and creativity in the face of oppression than on oppression itself; more on the multiple intersections and interactions of different groups, positions, and experiences than on single (sometimes essentialized) groups; and more on existing power relations and social inequities, and the structural nature of racism and oppression, than on individual behavior.
Between Spaces: Meditations on Toni Morrison and Whiteness in the Classroom: Trying Toni Morrison Again
Authors: McCoy Beth A.
Published: March 2024

An instructor and her student offer complementary perspectives on what happened in a classroom in which reading Toni Morrison opened up nearly intractable resistances to a making and sharing of knowledge in which no one was allowed to take refuge in what Catherine Fox calls “whiteliness” and assume a position outside of others’ knowing while asking those same others to assume the “burden of representation.” Complicating our notion of progressive pedagogy and our assumption that we know what progress looks like, the article suggests, in Jones’s words, “both education’s gifts and its limitations.”
