Published: July 2024

The learner guided study is innovative learning activity planned by a group of teachers considered better than those made by the individual teacher. However, its effectiveness in retaining the students learning is still dubious since there is no apparent connection between students' learning variety and needs. The aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of the learner-guided study in improving students’ analytical exposition writing competence. The participants were thirty high school students in grade eleventh. They often encountered difficulties in mastering analytical exposition due to the lack of specific practices. The data analysis was carried out using a mixed-method design. They were gathered from the analytical exposition writing tests and interviews. The results from this study demonstrated that the Experimental group taught with a guided lesson study surpassed the Control Group taught by the unguided lesson study. The guided lesson helped students achieve the learning goals of the analytical exposition aspects. This study recommends that this procedure be used to teach writing in any genre, as it could improve the students’ writing skills.

Published: July 2024

Curriculum development in higher education currently requires implementing the independent campus program. The independent campus program requires universities to be able to implement an output-based curriculum or outcome-based education. This research aims to analyze the need to develop learning tools based on outcome-based learning, especially in the core scientific subjects of primary school teacher education postgraduate programs. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection used questionnaire techniques, observation, and interviews with 14 lecturers as respondents. This research produced three important findings. First, all lecturers prepare learning tools before carrying out lectures. Second, 57.1% of lecturers prepared non-OBE-based learning tools. Third, 71.4% of lecturers need to learn about OBE-based learning tools. The education paradigm is changing from Input-Based to Outcome-Based Education (OBE). Education is reviewed and replaced with something more relevant, originally 'what is important for lecturers to teach' and has now changed to 'what is important for students to learn and master.' For this reason, it is necessary to develop OBE-based learning tools in core scientific subjects in Primary School Teacher Education Postgraduate Programs.

Published: July 2024

The evaluation process in medical education involves evaluating knowledge, skills, and attitudes based on the achievements and competencies to be achieved. The multiple-choice question (MCQ) instrument is an assessment instrument often used in the medical field. So far, the MCQs have been implemented in Indonesia's national medical competency examination. Furthermore, maintaining the quality of MCQs at the faculty level is very important to maintain the quality of medical graduates. In this study, an evaluation was carried out on 250 items of MCQs in three basic biomedical modules, followed by analyses of the MCQs characteristics, item difficulty index (DIF-I), and item discrimination index (DI).  The analysis found that the Kr-20 value was >0.8 in the three modules. Analysis of the item difficulty index (DIF-I) in the ideal category obtained 33 (36.7%), 29 (38.7%), and 34 (39.5%), respectively. The ideal category's item discrimination index (DI) was 63.3%, 77.3%, and 69.4%, respectively. The results of this study illustrate that there are still MCQs that are not ideal and need attention for future improvements. These results prove that more work must be done to improve the standard of MCQs used in medical examinations. Periodic evaluation and training on making standardized multiple-choice question components need to be planned within the faculty.

Authors: Mababu Mukiur Richard
Published: July 2024

The main objective of this article was to examine the European Union Posting of Workers Directive as an instrument for the internal labour market to achieve social cohesion. A posted worker is an employee that the employer has sent to a territory of a Member State (other than the State where he/she normally works) to perform his/her tasks during a given period. The latest revision (PWD 2018/957) has allowed the introduction of amendments to the posting of workers legislation, which improved the previous law and reinforced the legal protection of posted workers. Its objective is to reinforce the posting of workers’ policy to eradicate some prejudicious practices detected in applying the previous Directive, such as inequitable work conditions and unfair competition, which are obstacles to social cohesion. This paper analyses the Directive as a key instrument for social cohesion in light of the modifications introduced to improve the Directive (PWD 2018/957). Proposals for improvement of the Directive for social cohesion are formulated in terms of cooperation, availability of information, and inspectorate, which still require more attention and reformulation for better labour mobility of posting of workers in the European Union. Some key practical implications are discussed.

Published: July 2024

The textile and clothing industry is one of the most resource-intensive and polluting industries. The circular economy (CE) is one of the solutions to these problems. The textile industry has been identified as one of the most in need of transformation towards CE. The transition to a circular economy requires changes in the behavior and actions of all market players. Consumer interest in sustainability and the CE can stimulate companies to be more responsible and offer more circular solutions. This article analyses the knowledge and attitudes of consumers, adults living in Lodz (Poland), towards new circular models in the fashion industry (e.g. rent, repair). The development of the clothing rental service is still insufficient, but repair and the use of online portals to sell/buy second-hand clothing is becoming increasingly popular. However, it is still necessary to orient people towards environmentally friendly activities.

Published: July 2024

Background: One of the rare forms of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is female genital tract TB, which often occurs as a result of TB spreading to the genital organs via the bloodstream or lymphatic system, with the primary lesion usually going undetected for many years.
Case Presentation: A case of 68 years old female was presented, with a known case of hypertension on antihypertensive medications, who came to the emergency department complaining of abdominal distention that was evolved 4 months earlier, associated with loss of appetite and consequent loss of weight. CT imaging revealed mild thickening of the endometrium but with no evidence of malignancy. Hysteroscopy showed a mass-like lesion, encapsulated and well-formed, from which a biopsy was taken and sent to the histopathology, and the acid-fast bacilli special stain was identified, and diagnosed as endometrial TB.
Conclusion: Endometrial TB is not a common condition in women at menopausal age. Hence, it is recommended that all patients with a positive imaging finding whether with or without vaginal losses undergo aggressive evaluation for endometrial TB. In addition, elaborative research needs to be conducted to generate further evidence-based data regarding such conditions.

Published: July 2024

Tarım sektörü, enerji kaynaklarının yoğun olarak kullanıldığı bir alandır. Gelişmekte olan ülkelerde enerji üretiminin daha çok fosil yakıtlara bağlı olması, her alanda, optimum enerji kullanımını zorunlu kılmaktadır. Sürdürülebilir bir üretim, ancak, kaynakların verimli şekilde kullanımı ile sağlanabilir. Tarımsal üretimde enerji verimliliği çıktı/girdi analizleri ile değerlendirilebilmektedir. Özellikle seralar, açık alanlara kıyasla, enerji girdisinin çok daha yüksek olduğu tarımsal üretim alanlarıdır. Bu alanda yapılacak araştırmalar, seracılıkta farklı bölgelere ve ürünlere göre, en uygun girdi kullanım düzeylerinin saptanabilmesi açısından önemli katkılar sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışma, Konya – Ereğli ilçesinde bulunan bir serada, 2022 yaz sezonunda, çiftçi şartlarında yapılan salatalık üretiminin enerji kullanım verimliliğinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Sezon boyunca tüm tarımsal uygulamalar takip edilmiş ve kayıt altına alınmıştır. Enerji kullanım etkinliği (enerji oranı) 1,14 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Toplam girdi içerisinde yenilenemeyen kaynaklar %66’lık bir oranla üretimin 2/3’ünü kapsamaktadır. Bu oranın azaltılması, fosil yakıtlardan üretilen enerjinin üretimdeki payını azaltırken, ekosistemin kaynak yetersizliği sebebiyle karşılaştığı baskıları da dengeleyecektir. Sonuçta, Konya’da, serada salatalık yetiştiriciliğinin; enerji kullanım etkinliği, başka bir deyişle üretim verimliliği, açısından değerlendirildiğinde avantajlı olduğu belirlenmiştir.

Dünya’da ve Türkiye’de sarımsak üretimi ve tüketimi artmaktadır. Fakat Türkiye’nin dünya sarımsak üretimi içindeki payı geçtiğimiz 30 yılda %4 den %0.4 seviyesine gerilemiştir. Benzer şekilde coğrafi işaret sahibi Kastamonu sarımsağının Türkiye üretimindeki payı da %25 seviyesinden %20 seviyesine gerilemiştir. Bu çalışmada Kastamonu’daki sarımsak üreticileri ile yüz yüze anket çalışması yapılarak üretim teknikleri ve sorunları incelenmiştir. Elde edilen veriler ışığında üretici profili ve uygulama alışkanlıkları masaya yatırılmıştır. Üretimde mekanizasyon düzeyi artmakla birlikte, üretimin her safhasında yüksek işgücü gereksinimi devam etmektedir. Küçük parsellerde, yüksek kimyasal girdilerle bilinçsiz üretim söz konusudur. Sarımsaklar ilkel depolama koşullarında saklanmakta ve kayıplar oluşmaktadır. Bölgede herhangi bir üretim planlaması olmayıp, üretim ve satışa dair ortak bir oluşum bulunmamaktadır.

İnsanların beslenmesinde gluten içeren besinler önemli yer tutmaktadır. Gluten metabolizması bozukluğuna bağlı oluşan hastalıklar bulunmakta olup bunlar çölyak hastalığı, buğdaya karşı IgE aracılı alerji ve çölyak dışı gluten duyarlılığı olarak sınıflandırılabilir. Bireylerin gluten duyarlılıkları arasında farklılıklar olup gluten duyarlılığı olan bireylerin gluten içeren besinleri tüketmeleri durumunda en başta bağırsak dokusu olmak üzere birçok dokuda histopatolojik yapılarında ve otoimmun sistemlerinde önemli değişiklikler meydana gelebilir. Dokuların histopatolojik yapısındaki değişiklikler dokulara göre değişmektedir. Otoimmun sistemdeki değişiklikler ise Transglutaminaz, Gliadin, IgA, IgG, CD4 ve CD8 gibi parametrelerden en az birinin veya birkaçının incelenmesi ile tespit edilebilir. Gluten metabolizması bozukluğuna bağlı oluşan hastalıklarda etkili tedavi şekli glutensiz/gluten kısıtlı diyet olmakla birlikte bağışıklık sisteminde rol alan mekanizma ve moleküllerin saptanması yeni tedavi yöntemlerini oluşturulmasına yol gösterebilir. Bu çalışmada amaç gluten ve gluten metabolizması bozukluğuna bağlı oluşan hastalıklar arasındaki ilişkinin derlemesidir.

Zengin bir protein kaynağı olan susam, yağ elde etmek amacıyla yetiştirilen ilk bitkilerden biridir ve dünyanın birçok ülkesinde tarih öncesi çağlardan beri kültürü yapılmaktadır. Susam tohumları yüksek oranda içerdiği yağ asitlerinin (ortalama %80) doymamış yanı sıra insan sağlığı için önemli faydaları olan sesamol ve sesamolin gibi antioksidanları da içermektedir. Ayrıca tohumları önemli bir Ca, Mg ve Se kaynağıdır. Son yıllarda yapılan çalışmalar, susam tohumları ve yağının insan beslenmesi için yüksek enerji kaynağı olmasının yanı sıra insan sağlığı açısından da anti-aging, antikanserojen, antiinflammatuar, antifungal, antimikrobiyal etkilerinin olduğu, karaciğerde alkol ayrışmasını hızlandırdığı, antihipertansif aktivite ve immün düzenleyici aktivitelere de sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Özellikle siyah susam yağının saç beyazlamasını önlediği de yapılan çalışmalar sonucunda tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, susam bitkisinin farklı kısımlarının özellikle dizanteri gibi hastalıkların tedavisinde uzun yıllardan beri kullanıldığı da bilinmektedir.

Humor is primarily influenced by both the source and target language cultures, which poses significant challenges for translators. Given the continuous emergence of comedy movies, humor plays a crucial role in cultural expression. However, research on the assessment of translation quality of humor in movie subtitles in China remains limited. This study aims to categorize the translation techniques using Pedersen’s typology (2005, 2011) and assess the translation quality of the humorous content in the English subtitles of the Chinese comedy movie Goodbye, Mr. Loser (2015). Goodbye, Mr. Loser is one of the most successful comedy movies in China in recent years, selling 1.441 billion yuan at the box office and winning an award at the China New Era International Film Festival, while also gaining a lot of attention overseas. This study analyzes the accuracy of the English subtitles based on Newmark’s (1988) framework. In his model, Newmark (1988) assesses the accuracy by looking at the accurate reflection of the semantic, contextual, register and style of the ST in TT. Additionally, it adopts a questionnaire for non-Chinese speakers following Nababan, Nuraeni and Sumardiono’s (2012) approach to assess the acceptability and readability of the English subtitles. The significance of this study lies in its potential to enhance the quality of Chinese audiovisual products, reduce language barriers, foster effective cross-culture communication, and provide a valuable reference for the humor translation in Chinese comedy movies in the future.
