Authors: Wajdi Muh Barid Nizarudin
Published: June 2024

The Pesantren Law (UU Pesantren)  is a law that regulates the implementation of pesantren in the educational function, da'wah function, and community empowerment function. This law provides recognition, affirmation, and facilitation of the role of pesantren in shaping, establishing, building, and maintaining the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. This study aims to examine the opportunities that pesantren have in facing the era of globalization and the industrial revolution 4.0, as well as the challenges and strategies that need to be done. The method used is a literature study by reviewing various relevant sources. The results showed that pesantren have the opportunity to become superior educational institutions, competitive, and contribute to the benefit of the people. Pesantren can also be agents of social, cultural, and economic change based on Islamic values. However, pesantren also face challenges such as the lack of human resources, facilities and infrastructure, technology adaptation, and curriculum development. Therefore, pesantren need to carry out strategies such as maintaining the characteristics of pesantren, riding on the development of the times, and realising the values of pesantren to the public.

Published: June 2024

In the digital age, technological developments have emerged, which have prompted researchers and education practitioners to readapt to the new digital context. Research in university pedagogy has been extensive, with the aim of inserting this new digital culture into recent reforms. Computer systems accompanied by technological devices have been put into effect in order to demonstrate pedagogical innovation through the use of pioneering educational practices. According to the strategic framework of the European Education Area, the Member States of the European Union must set new objectives based not only on the strengthening of the means of strategic cooperation and synergies, in particular the European Research Area and the Bologna Process, but also on the setting of objectives and indicators of progress towards the achievement of the European Education Area. While taking into account the renewal of the university context in terms of education and training in the European area, it would be interesting to focus on the essential contribution of the Francophone University Agency (AUF) in the renewal of university pedagogy and training. Then digital pedagogical innovation (DPI) is carried out through networks and online computer systems. Finally, given the internationalization and digitalization of education, innovative pedagogical practices have emerged in the higher cycle. The implementation of learning management systems, whether in a blended learning model environment or in an open and distance learning environment, plays an essential role at the personal level in the development of learning strategies, but also at the collective level in the cultivation of professional competences.

Simple, inexpensive and relatively durable, the board seems a natural part of class. Paradoxically, considering it as a teaching technique in its own right (Cuq &
Gruca, 2005) may seem surprising, but in reality, it is the most widespread technological medium in the classroom. Therefore, writing on the board is a practice
considered an integral part of the teaching profession in order to streamline the transmission of knowledge. Despite the fact that its presence is almost systematic in all classes, its use and management are little studied. Reorganizing, witnessing interactions and materializing the transition from oral to written, the functions of
the board are multiple, however, are teachers and learners aware of this? What representations do they have of the painting? Indeed, we attempted through a semi-directive interview, intended for 4th AMlearners, to show whether they consider the whiteboard as a didactic tool and, to identify their representations in relation to the role that this tool would play in their learning in class, more particularly during a session of reading comprehension of an argumentative text. Furthermore, the preliminary results showed on the one hand
the preponderant role played by the blackboard in the FFL class and on the other hand, that its management and organization are two factors which allowed optimal performance and a considerable contribution current teaching/learning techniques.

The dissemination of knowledge in science and technology relies on efficient communication, with a noticeable shift towards multimodal communication. This
research explores the subtle patterns of multimodal scientific communication to comprehend how several modes work together to enhance discourse quality. Twenty research articles, ten from the field of Engineering and ten from Biology, written over the previous three years by researchers of the University of El Oued, Algeria were collected from credible journals and then examined using a qualitative content analysis. The findings demonstrated that the authors used a multimodal approach in their research articles, presenting their research outcomes through a combination of textual explanations and visual components including graphs, tables, images, and diagrams. The study’s findings highlighted the interdependent nature of text and images and their importance in communicating scientific discourse. Furthermore, the data displays differences in the modes selected by these researchers, which reflects the specificities and particular needs of each discipline in choosing the modes. The study suggests that researchers’ active participation in workshops and training sessions can improve their proficiency in multimodal scientific communication. Moreover, it recommends additional research to broaden the area of enquiry and improve knowledge of multimodal communication in scientific discourse.

Published: June 2024

Situational learning is one of the teaching options that can ensure the efficiency of the activity, as it allows capitalizing on students' previous experience and provides a link between new content elements and examples in the immediate reality. The appeal to different graphic organizers in carrying out situational
learning increases the effectiveness of this approach. This study analyzes the formative effects of graphic organizers in achieving situational learning. The research undertaken was based on the use of two research methods: questionnaire-based survey and focus-group interview. The opinion questionnaire was applied to a sample of 58 master students, in the first year, at the Faculty of Letters, University of Craiova, and who are, at the same time, enrolled in the initial training program as teachers, and the interview was conducted with 10 students from the same faculty. The results obtained from the application of the two research tools allowed
the identification of teachers' training needs regarding the conditions of methodological efficiency of capitalizing on situational learning in practice, facilitated by different graphic organizers. Based on the results obtained, we propose the use of tools to optimize the process of training and developing the competences of a future teacher. Some of these tools have been developed and harnessed in previous research and improved, but there are also new proposals.

Enzymatic hydrolysis of food waste for bioethanol production
Authors: Fagundes Victória Dutra , Freitag João Felipe , Simon Viviane , Colla Luciane Maria
Published: June 2024

The concern for environmental sustainability and the rational use of natural resources drives the development of new technologies to better utilize energy sources, culminating in the use of waste for biofuel production. This approach is strategic, as the use of agro-industrial and food waste aligns with the concept of circular bioeconomy and food security, allowing for value addition to waste and reducing environmental liabilities. Bioethanol stands out as the most promising biofuel derived from food waste, considering its chemical composition rich in carbohydrates and fermentable sugars. The biotechnological conversion of biomass into bioethanol requires pretreatment steps to facilitate enzyme action during the hydrolysis process, a crucial stage for sugar release. However, it underscores the need to optimize enzymatic processes, especially regarding pH and temperature ranges for enzyme activity, to ensure efficiency in converting biomass into bioethanol. The aim is to understand the processes involved in the enzymatic hydrolysis of organic waste. The literature review included studies with recent advances on the enzymatic hydrolysis of food waste for the sustainable production of bioethanol, using the keywords “Biomass,” “Enzymatic hydrolysis,” “Bioethanol,” and “Food waste” or “Food residues”. The hydrolysis of food waste for bioethanol production highlights the necessity of selecting the most efficient and sustainable pretreatment techniques, aiming to minimize byproduct generation while fully utilizing the raw material. Additionally, the use of different classes of enzymes in consortium during the production processes is emphasized.
Wilhelm Reich versus the Flying Saucers
Authors: Reich James
Published: June 2024

The convenient myth of Wilhelm Reich is that he “lost his mind” in the early 1950s, if not before, and that the last seven years of his life and work — the orgone and radiation experiments, the cloudbuster, and flying saucer intrigues — present an embarrassment. Even the counterculture that embraced Reich, not least William S. Burroughs, Norman Mailer, and filmmaker Dušan Makavejev, tended to distort his theory. The psychosis attached to Reich by his detractors was the culmination of decades of scapegoating by psychoanalysts, Nazis, communists, and conservatives. But Reich’s environmental and Cold War preoccupations and his slow-burning fascination with UFO phenomena were not signs of a madness incipient since his break with Sigmund Freud. They anticipated and reflected much in the American psyche.

Defining the presence of a “cinematic self” in the misunderstood analyst once considered an heir to Freud, Wilhelm Reich versus the Flying Saucers rejects orthodox portrayals of Reich’s final years as merely pathological. Combining original analysis and evidence from the Wilhelm Reich Archive, James Reich uncovers the fatal moments in the psychologist’s uncanny identification with the “spaceman,” and the myth of a scientist lost to his own grandiosity and paranoia. Taking seriously the influence of The Day the Earth Stood Still, Bad Day at Black Rock, and other pop cultural narratives on Reich, this “psychoanalytic detective story” concerns existential traps, conscious and unconscious collaborations and betrayals by disciples, and unidentified flying object-relations. Reich’s is an atomic-age passion narrative. Vitally, Reich’s story could be ours. The author is not related to his subject.

Published: June 2024

The composition and distribution of cephalopod paralarvae were investigated in the Campos Basin, a tropical area on the southeastern Brazilian continental margin with extensive oil exploration. Zooplankton hauls with a multimesh net system were conducted during two seasonal oceanographic cruises in 2009 along eight isobaths (25–3000 m) and vertical sampling in five water mass cores (1–2300 m depth). A total of 825 paralarvae belonging to 11 families and at least 16 genera were captured. The majority had a dorsal mantle length of less than 2.60 mm, with a mean of 1.50 mm. The rainy summer showed higher total densities and number of families compared to the drier winter. Most paralarvae were collected at Surface Water (1 m depth), only four at South Atlantic Central Water (250 m), and two at Antarctic Intermediate Water (800 m). Enoploteuthidae and Ommastrephidae were the most abundant families and were positively associated with temperature, with higher densities during the rainy summer. Loliginidae were collected exclusively in the neritic zone. In the oceanic zone, Cranchiidae, Onychoteuthidae, Octopoteuthidae, and Tremoctopodidae were collected at 1 m depth, and Ancistrocheiridae and Thysanoteuthidae at 250 m depth. Density peaks of paralarvae occurred during the summer along the continental shelf break and slope, an area known for frequent upwelling driven by cyclonic meanders of the Brazil Current.

Authors: Trushina E. Y. , Kostina E. M. , Orlova E. A. , Turovskaya A. A. , Nefedova T. A.
Published: June 2024

Introduction. Allergy to birch pollen is a common allergic disease. The main allergen of birch pollen is Bet v 1. The Bet v 1 protein structure is the similar to proteins of hazel, alder and elm pollen, as well as fruits proteins (apples, apricots, peaches, cherries) and vegetables ones (carrots, celery). Therefore, children with an allergy to the Bet v 1 protein may experience oral allergy syndrome (OAS) and even anaphylaxis when eating these foods. Allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT) is the indication for the pollen allergy treatment.

Presentation of the clinical case. A 11 years old child was observed with a diagnosis of bronchial asthma, allergic form, moderate persistent clinical course. Pollinosis. Allergic rhinitis. Allergic conjunctivitis. Allergy to birch pollen (Bet v 1). Cross food hypersensitivity: oral syndrome (PR-10 proteins) and anaphylaxis (hazelnuts, peanuts). Systemic manifestations of pollen allergy limit immunotherapy due to the possible development of adverse reactions.

The child was prescribed sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) with the medication “Staloral birch pollen allergen”. Baseline therapy was chosen for the child to achieve control of asthma and rhinitis, a hypoallergenic diet with the exclusion of significant food allergens was prescribed. Asthma and rhinitis exacerbation and OAS was observed during the 1st and 2nd treatment courses. Against the background of baseline therapy, SLIT was continued. The full maintenance dose was achieved during the 3rd SLIT course. Immunotherapy contributed to the reduction of symptoms of rhinitis and asthma, reduction of disease clinical course severity, reduction of baseline medications doses and OAS relief.

Published: June 2024

Approaches focused on improving animal health are essential strategies to increase the quality and productivity of the livestock sector. Bovine mastitis is a prevalent disease in dairy farming worldwide. There are various ways to prevent infections and mammary inflammation in cows, such as using sanitizers or disinfectants before and after milking to clean the cow's udder surface and reduce contamination. Chlorine-based disinfectants are commonly used, and in some cases, antibiotics are used to prevent mastitis. This review aimed to analyze scientific articles that used plants as a sanitizer for a cow's udder in the last 5 years. There were few records of experiments with plants for disinfecting cows' udders; a total of 10 articles and 12 plant species were mentioned, including twice Piper betle and Acacia nilotica. Among the classes of metabolites indicated as active are terpenoids, flavonoids, and tannins. Studies indicate that plant extracts exhibit antimicrobial properties. Plant-based disinfectants promote sustainable and environmentally friendly sanitation in the livestock production sector, as these products are biodegradable and renewable.

Published: June 2024

The Robson Classification is a tool designed to monitor cesarean section rates in diverse populations and assess the impact of management changes. This study aimed to evaluate the application of the Robson Classification in a high-risk maternity ward in Brasília, Brazil. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted, analyzing 1813 deliveries between January and June 2019 at the Materno Infantil Hospital in Brasília. The overall cesarean section rate was 55.7%, and Robson Group 5 significantly contributed to the global rate at 33.3%. It was concluded that there is an association with the type of delivery, newborn weight, and fetal disease, irrespective of the type. Regarding maternal conditions, an association was observed in Robson Group 10, which exhibited a 51.4% cesarean section rate. The use of the Robson Classification within the maternity context, despite being a local reference for high-risk pregnancies, indicated the potential for reducing cesarean rates in specific cases. A protocol based on the Robson Classification is proposed as an instrument for adjusting cesarean birth rates in all public maternity hospitals in the Federal District, Brasília, Brazil.

Published: June 2024

Arachnids contribute to socioenvironmental development by acting as bioindicators of environmental quality and providing essential ecosystem services, highlighting the need for public awareness to conserve these potentially umbrella species. The aim is to evaluate the willingness to pay for informal education programs about arachnids in the central Brazilian savanna using the contingent valuation method (CVM). For this purpose, a preliminary analysis was conducted with 407 residents of a Brazilian municipality with a small population and significant incidents involving arachnid species. The respondents' profiles (gender, age, and education level), knowledge, perceptions of arachnids, and willingness to pay were collected. Quantification, average/total willingness to pay, and Pearson's correlation were performed using R software. Most respondents were women (75.43%), had a high school education and were aged between 35 and 65 years. We observed that most had some level of knowledge about the morphology, ecological characteristics, and importance of arachnids, especially for the environment. However, the results also indicate that older people, men, and those with lower education levels have a greater willingness to pay for educational events about Cerrado arachnids (IEPAs). Only a portion of the respondents were willing to pay for informal education programs in favor of arachnid awareness and conservation. The total willingness to pay was US$ 4,441.28, preferably managed by the state's public education institution. It is concluded that there is significant and necessary potential for environmental education actions to promote the conservation of arachnid megadiversity.

To achieve this, the authors first unpack the importance of sport for minority identities through discussing several historical and contemporary examples, before specifically zooming in on this aspect in the host region. Subsequently, the focus is turned to the event itself with considerations concerning the format, financing, and its place within FUEN’s activities. The text concludes with a reflection on the significance of Europeada for the host region, participating minorities, its main organizer, and broader awareness-raising in relation to minority issues.

Aim:School attendance problems (SAPs) are a concern across education systems worldwide. SAPs are disproportionally experienced by certain groups of children, in particular those with mental health difficulties. Existing literature has identified myriad factors, including those proximal and distal, that influence attendance for these children. Most studies to date have focused on linear relationships between a small number of variables and fail to differentiate between types of SAPs (Heyne et al., 2019). A broader understanding of the complex context of school attendance problems remains understudied and is the focus of the current study.

Method:Using a qualitative design, we explored a) the SAP typologies and b) the individual characteristics and education-related needs associated with the school attendance problems of 15 children receiving mental health services at a community clinic.

Findings:Analyses of client files indicated that a) emotionally based school avoidance was the most common typology, b) approximately half the sample experienced one type of attendance problem while half experienced multiple types, c) anxiety was experienced by all children, and d) emotional, behavioural, social, and academic needs were noted in relation to SAPs over time. Our findings reflect the complex and varied profiles of students who share the experience of having significant school attendance problems.

Limitations:Limitations of our study include potential bias introduced through the multi-step data extraction process, a reliance on the judgement of clinicians, and a lack of full access to data caused by Covid-19 restrictions.

Conclusions:Future research and practice would benefit from a differentiated approach to understanding, preventing, and intervening to improve attendance and broad success for students with mental health difficulties.
Barriers to school attendance as experienced by young people and their parents: A Narrative Oriented Inquiry
Authors: Want Hannah , Gulliford Anthea
Published: June 2024

Aim:Although there is a complex interplay between bio-psycho-social-cultural factors in the development of school attendance difficulties, research into the family experience of Barriers to School Attendance (BtSA) is limited. The aim of this study was to enhance understanding of the family experience of BtSA by exploring how those affected tell their stories.

Method:Adapted Narrative Oriented Inquiry (NOI) was used to explore the stories told by participants. Guided narrative interviews were undertaken with two families who held ongoing experiences of BtSA. Data was analysed using holistic-form and categorical-content analysis.

Findings:Holistic-form analysis reflected how transition to secondary school was key for each family. This was followed by a deterioration in the young people’s mental health and by challenges within the home. Key themes were interpreted within the narratives, in relation to the experiences of BtSA: aspects of school; individual experiences and the impact on the family system; and the parental experience.

Limitations:Findings are reflective of the individual experiences of the families, so further research with families from varying backgrounds is needed to explore the family experience of BtSA further.

Conclusions:The key themes discussed here remain pertinent to the post-pandemic understanding of BtSA. The idiographic data supports the notion that hearing individual stories allows for an in-depth understanding of a complex phenomenon. This informs the work of educators and psychologists to assess and understand the contexts and interactions of BtSA across the individual, family and school levels, aiming to optimise interventions appropriate to family systems and their functioning.

This paper provides an analysis of the viewpoints of IT discipline teachers at Kazakhstani universities regarding the need for the development of methodological competence. The purpose of this study is to provide IT teachers with a philosophy of necessity to develop their methodological basis to train future IT specialists. The sociological survey was conducted among them and the answers to the questionnaire showed that teachers understand the relationship between their methodological training and the quality of education. The interviewed teachers use a variety of technologies and methods of teaching and evaluating the achievement of learning outcomes by students in the educational process which indicates that they have a certain level of methodological competence. Nevertheless, the problem of unclear understanding of the differences between the concepts of technology and teaching method is revealed. This suggests the need for measures to strengthen the general pedagogical training of teachers. The study’s findings have shown that IT discipline teachers at Kazakhstani universities understand the need for constant development of their methodological competence. The opinion of teachers in the IT discipline  about the need to develop methodological competence is positive and they are ready for continuous improvement. The study gives a foundation for research on the level of formation of methodological competence in general and its components, organizational forms of development of methodological competence and  the possibility of strengthening the general pedagogical training of future teachers of IT disciplines.
Experimental and numerical simulation of heat transfer inside a concentric heat exchanger

Published: June 2024

The present study concerns an experimental and numerical investigation of heat transfer occurring in a concentric tube heat exchanger. Experimental measurements were conducted using a test bench located at the process engineering laboratory at the university of Ghardaia. Two modes of fluid flow in the exchanger were considered, namely: co-current and counter-current for different boundary conditions. On the other hand, the three dimensional flow is mathematically described by the Navier-Stokes equations, and by energy equation. The flow is assumed to be incompressible and single phase. The governing equations are discretized using finite volumes schemes and the solver is the commercial CFD software ANSYS 2019 R1. The velocity components are calculated at a staggered grid while the scalar variables are calculated at the main grid (not staggered). For coupling of mass and momentum equations, SIMPLE algorithm is used. The Green-Gauss cell-based scheme is used for gradient discretization. Second-order upwind central differencing is used for flow terms. For a fixed volumetric flow rate of cold water (350 l/h), and according to the variable volumetric flow rate of hot water, six (06) selected cases are studied. The obtained numerical and experimental results were in good agreement. The relative error does not exceed 4% for all studied cases. This work has led to a better understanding of the operating principle and the phenomenon of heat transfer in concentric tube exchangers. It has been demonstrated also that the effectiveness is increased by about 13% for the counter-current mode compared to the co-current mode. The counter-current configuration maintains a more consistent temperature gradient along the length of the heat exchanger.

Na presente pesquisa, foi desenvolvido um modelo numérico utilizando o software SolidWorks 16.0 para simular o comportamento mecânico de blocos prensados ​​e queimados (BPQ) de cerâmica vermelha. O objetivo principal foi estabelecer uma metodologia numérica para aplicar BPQ com alvenaria estrutural. Foi utilizada a abordagem determinística, escolhida por sua adequação às características do material e às condições de carregamento encontradas neste estudo. Especificamente, tanto o material quanto a estrutura foram modelados assumindo comportamento linear elástico, e o critério de Rankine foi utilizado para determinar os critérios de ruptura durante a simulação. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram um notável nível de concordância de aproximadamente 90% para com os resultados de dados experimentais. Além disso, os fatores de segurança foram calculados em 1,88 para BPQ e 1,94 para prismas, ambos marginalmente abaixo do valor recomendado de 2,0 pelas normas brasileiras. É essencial reconhecer que são necessários mais estudos e refinamento para que o modelo aumente a sua precisão e capacidade preditiva.
