Teacher’s Strategy in Growing Student Creativity through the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project
Authors: Doni Ferdiansyah  , Honest Ummi Kaltsum
Published: April 2023

The low character of students, one of which is the level of creativity possessed by students, has decreased after experiencing online learning due to Covid-19. The purpose of this study was to analyse the teacher's strategy in fostering student creativity through project learning to strengthen Pancasila students and to describe the constraints experienced by the teacher and the solutions made by the teacher in carrying out project learning. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a phenomenological model. The subjects in this study were teachers and 4th-grade elementary school students. Researchers collect data through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique used is an interactive model from Miles and Haberman. The results showed that teachers used two strategies in cultivating students' character and creativity: differentiation learning and project learning to strengthen the Pancasila student profile. Constraints found in addition to the low creativity of students are the limited references to the independent curriculum books for grades 1 and 4, the low availability of facilities, and project learning support tools. Another obstacle is time management because project-based learning usually takes a long time. For this reason, the teacher needs the right strategy to foster student creativity. It is hoped that the implications of this research can be studied in more depth to complement and be used as a basis for other research.

The 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child guarantees all children the right to an education, and this paper focuses on Roma children and that right. The extent of Serbia’s strategy documents was reviewed, particularly in light of their responsibility for guaranteeing equity, accessibility, and equal educational opportunities for all children. The study’s objective is to assess how content related to the Roma is portrayed in current curricula (N = 16) and textbooks (N = 93) for the 2022–2023 academic year. It was discovered that despite the objectives in each of the analyzed courses (Serbian language, The World around Us, Nature and Society, Music Education, and Civic Education) clearly promote equality, diversity, and mutual appreciation, democratic values, inclusion, and anti-discrimination, none of them explicitly mention the words Roma or the Roma people. Only a few times do the Roma people explicitly appear in textbooks on nature, society, and music, and then only as a numerical representation of the national minority; no mention is made of the positive traits of the Roma people, who have their own identity, tradition, and culture as well as well-known members. The results highlight the need for textbooks to include specific content about the Roma people as fundamental teaching tools. This content should also be included in the curriculum because it would help students of Roma origin feel less excluded and more empowered to participate in school on an equal footing.

The Internet is an inseparable part of contemporary man’s everyday life. The catalog of positive sides of this global information system, which encourage the development of creativity, is inexhaustible. Simultaneously, many negative aspects of the Internet in the context of breach of security, exposure to inappropriate content and promotion of bestiality exist. Therefore, in this paper we pay special attention to zoophilia, a specific disorder from the domain of paraphilia, which includes a sexual preference for animals with ethical and harmful consequences for health. According to the available data from the digital space, it is noted that this disorder affects a significant number of individuals. It is an very complex and sensitive disorder, which requires a multidisciplinary approach, including a psychopathological approach that would explore the symptoms, nature and factors (hereditary, organic and social) of pathological conditions and processes in these individuals. With tendency that this scientific paper represents an adequate reaction to make this disorder more visible, as part of preventive programs before the late manifestation, we applied methods: quantitative and qualitative content analysis, comparative analysis (reaction to zoophilia) and descriptive and analytical statistics. The goal is to recognize zoophilia as a disease and bestiality, that is, inhuman behavior, which requires an effective response from the social community.

Published: April 2023

Academic life for students was filled with stress and strain. Physical activity, on the other hand, may help people manage their stress levels. Sports students, as all known, are physically active. However, many factors influence perceived academic stress, such as body weight, the semester in question, and gender. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that influence perceived academic stress among sports students during online learning. 217 sports students (84=male, 133=female) are involved. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) – Long Form questionnaire was measured students’ level of physical activity participation and the Perception of Academic Stress Scale (PASS) questionnaire used to measure academic stress. Other’s variables are measured in demographic profiles. Data were analysed using multiple linear regression to investigate the factors that influence perceived academic stress among sports students during online learning. From the study, 77.40% (n=168) of the students were highly involved in physical activity and the students agreed the perceived academic stress was high for the workload given during online learning, following pressure of perform, academic self-perception and time restraints. The results of the regression indicated the predictor explained 2.6% of the variance (F (1, 215) = 5.73, p=0.018, with an R2 of 0.026). It was found that stay during online learning significantly predicted perceived academic stress (β = .16, p<.001), as did agreeableness (β = -.36, p>=0.018). In conclusion, the data imply that, while many factors influence perceived academic stress, the results in this study were non-significant. Only stay during online learning yielded significant results out of the five parameters indicated.

Identification of performance indicators related to the status of the game (winning and losing) is needed for a tactical approach especially in improving the Malaysia Men’s Rugby Seven team. This study aims to characterize team performance indicators based on the game status of Malaysia men’s rugby sevens teams. A total of 16 matches (winning, n=8, losing, n=8) for the national team from various Asia-level tournaments from years 2018 to 2020 were collected using Sportscode performance analysis software and a notational analysis form. The performance indicators variables are extracted from the excel spreadsheet using the visual basic application of Microsoft excel before being exported to SPSS version 26 with the significant value is set at p<0.05. Based on the analysis, there is no significant difference in the winning performance and losing performance of the Malaysia Men’s Rugby Sevens Team. The finding from this research can be utilized by the coaches and practitioners in improving the rugby sevens team performance.
SCADA ODL FLIPPED CLASSROOM: A CASE STUDY FOR THE SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
Authors: Md Kamal Mahanijah , Abd Razak Noorfadzli
Published: April 2023

Using open and distance learning (ODL) for courses that included laboratory sessions was challenging to teach and learn during the COVID-19 era. SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), also known as ESE691, is the School of Electrical Engineering elective that requires students to be present in the lab for their mini-project group assignments. During the outbreak, students were not permitted to attend the laboratory, but they were required to complete their assignments. The rapid transition from face-to-face delivery modalities to a flipped classroom will be more difficult for final-year electrical engineering students. As a result, the purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of students taking ESE691 in a flipped classroom environment from October 2020 to February 2021. The data was gathered using a qualitative method, and the results were analysed using SPSS. This survey had 68 participants, with 22 female students and 46 male students filling out a google form. The findings show that while using the ODL platform to create a flipped classroom for SCADA, the eight questions are critical. The implementation of the flipped classroom for the internal consistency test has a Cronbach's alpha of 0.819, which is sufficient for the questions' reliability.

Published: April 2023

A sports drink is a drink containing electrolytes and glucose, meanwhile coconut drink is known as a natural source of sports drink. Both drinks have the benefit of restoring energy and electrolyte, especially when ingested during strenuous physical activity that requires maximum endurance performance. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of sports drinks and coconut drinks in enhancing cardiovascular endurance performance among UiTM football players. A total of 24 male participants representing Universiti Teknologi MARA Football Club (UiTM FC) were recruited. Participants were randomly assigned into three groups that are isotonic drink group (IDG) (n=8), the coconut drink group (CDG) (n=8), and the control group (n=8). Cardiovascular endurance performance was determined based on bleep test results at the pre-test and post-test. The intervention was conducted by giving a different type of drink according to the assigned group. IDG received 100 plus isotonic drink, CDG received a Vita Coco drink and CG were only given plain water. After the end of the pre-test session, the participants were given 2-hour to rest, and drinks were given according to their group. After 2-hour of rest, the participants continue with the post-test. The level of VO2 max was measured by an equation based on the bleep test results. The result shows there was a significant increment in pre-post-test VO2 max level within all groups, showing improvement in the mean level of VO2 max at post-test. The mean of pre-post-test VO2 max for the three respective groups was IDG 47.53 ± 6.32 to 49.46 ± 5.88 ml/kg/min, CDG 47.01 ± 3.45 to 48.81 ± 3.29 ml/kg/min and CG 47.06 ± 3.11 to 47.91 ± 3.43 ml/kg/min. However, there was no significant difference (p=0.276) between groups and pre-post-test VO2 max level. Looking at between groups effect, there was no significant effect (p=0.900) between these three groups and their VO2 max level. In conclusion, there was a significant positive change in the participant's pre-post-test VO2 max level for all three groups across two different periods at the pre-test and post-test. This suggests ingesting drinks between exercises substantially improved football players' cardiovascular endurance performance. However, there was no significant difference in the participants' cardiovascular endurance performance between the three groups. This indicates the type of drink does not influence the cardiovascular endurance performance among these football players.
Never Forgive, Never Forget: The effect of the valence of autobiographical memories on the vengeance tendency of individuals with vulnerable narcissistic traits: A pilot study

Vulnerable narcissism has been associated with the tendency to seek revenge after the individuals perceive certain responses from others, either verbal or behavioral, as attacks to their self-esteem. However, less is known about the multiple possible sources of prolonged and/or repeated vengeance-seeking behaviors, most scientific articles focusing on the direct, in vivo potentially ego-threatening communication with the narcissistic individual. The current study aimed to explore the degree to which the nature of autobiographical interpersonal memories influences the intensity of the revenge tendency in a sample of 67 subjects with a higher level of vulnerable narcissistic traits, who were randomized in three conditions. The main hypothesis was that negative memories (represented by social situations in which the individual has been discredited) would lead to a greater endorsement of vengeance-related assumptions, while positive memories (represented by moments when praise was received) to a lower vengeance tendency (as measured with the same specific instrument in both cases). Statistically significant differences were observed between the positive event recall condition and the negative event recall one, participants in the latter group scoring significantly higher on the instrument measuring the vengeance tendency. Lower scores on the Vengeance Scale were observed, as predicted, in the positive event recall group. These results have the potential of adding to the existing literature a new perspective on this cognitive facet of vulnerable narcissistic individuals, helping to adjust the expectations about themselves even more. Such results may also help shift the focus on what can be done for defending the victims of possibly inevitable vengeful behaviors manifested by narcissists.
The effects of alcohol on short-term memory, working memory, and other executive functioning tasks: A scoping review

Short-term memory, working memory, and other executive functions are related to short-term recall (short-term memory), information manipulation (working memory), and complex cognitive processing. Common tasks include serial recall, manipulation with recall (e.g., n-back), inhibitory control (e.g., Go/No-go), and planning (e.g., Tower of London). Acute alcohol consumption can result in poorer recall, altered spatial recognition, changes in attentional allocation, and reduced planning, task-switching, and cognitive flexibility. However, it is possible that the type of task used may result in equivocal outcomes. The purpose of this scoping review is to describe the different tasks used in the study of the effect of alcohol on short-term memory, working memory, and other executive functioning tasks. Nineteen studies were included with between-group, within-group repeated measures, and mixed factorial designs with various alcohol dosages. Findings of the included studies suggested that the impact of acute alcohol consumption on short-term memory, working memory, and other executive functioning tasks is equivocal. Discrepancies existed between visuospatial and verbal tasks and between array versus sequential recall tasks. Cognitive load may not be significantly affected but could be important in complex sequencing tasks. Deliberation times and response inhibition appear to be negatively affected, possibly due to thinking time rather than reduced performance. This suggests that most studies have not separated short-term memory, working memory, and other executive functions. These modalities may be differently affected by alcohol consumption. In general, further research using consistent, specific methods is required to enhance comparability of studies and clearly demarcate the effects of alcohol on these processes.
THE METAPHORS OF ‟GOD” IN ORTHODOX PRAYERS
Authors: PUȘCAȘ Andreea-Nora
Published: April 2023

The Metaphors of God in Orthodox Prayers. In this paper we look at the conceptual metaphors of God that we encountered in a collection of Orthodox prayers. Prayers are a type of discourse genre belonging to liturgical sublanguage, which is described as conservatory and intangible. We aim at identifying the way in which religious imaginary is configured as part of the linguistic heritage. We do not only intend to analyse the mechanisms of the conceptualization of God in the discourse of devotions, but also to connect it to religious teachings and dogmas, to have a better understanding of the outlined imaginary. The concept of God is deeply rooted in prayers and is lexicalized into coherent and logical structures, interwoven into a pluralist perspective on divinity.
Metaforele referitoare la Dumnezeu în rugăciunile ortodoxe. În prezenta lucrare ne propunem să identificăm metaforele conceptuale referitoare la Dumnezeu într-un corpus de rugăciuni ortodoxe. Rugăciunea este un tip de discurs aparținând sublimbajului liturgic, descris ca intangibil și conservator. În cele ce urmează, vom urmări modalitatea în care se configurează imaginarul religios ca parte a patrimoniului lingvistic. Nu intenționăm doar să analizăm mecanismele prin care Dumnezeu este conceptualizat în discursul rugăciunii, ci și să relaționăm aceste reprezentări cu învățăturile religioase și dogmatice, pentru a înțelege mai bine modul în care este configurat imaginarul verbalizat. Conceptul de Dumnezeu este puternic înrădăcinat în limbajul rugăciunii, fiind organizat în structuri coerente și logice care oferă o perspectivă pluralistă asupra divinității.

IL CLOWN – UNA METAFORA PER L’IDENTITÀ DELL’ARTISTA NEL CIRCO DELLA STORIA E DELL’ESISTENZA IN MATEI VIȘNIEC E NORMAN MANEA
Authors: DAVID Emilia
Published: April 2023

The Clown – a Metaphor for the Artist Identity in the Circus of History and Existence at Matei Vișniec and Norman Manea. The paper will highlight affinities and differences in the way Norman Manea and Matei Vișniec, two prominent writers of the Romanian exile from the 80s, narrate the existential failure in the novel The Black Envelope and respectively in the play Old clown wanted, making extensive use of the modalities provided by an intensely poetic imaginary. The dreamlike representations, which acquire opposite connotations in the plots of the two authors, as well as certain image-metaphors, elaborated according to the models inspired by Federico Fellini, highlight some aspects that distinguish the perspective expressed by each writer regarding the dense and broad semantics of the circus. In Matei Vișniec’s play, the circus topos declines in the forms of precariousness, which defines the artist’s condition as well as the general human condition - perpetually threatened by the inexorable passage of Time. As for Norman Manea’s novel, the writer concentrates in this plot the perception of History as a buffoonish and vulgar manifestation, which condemns the individual, the artist in the first instance, to the status of victim. In this way, Manea and Vișniec actually explore the forms of manifestation peculiar to a cultural and linguistic imaginary related to the representation of individual and collective identity.
Clovnul ‒ o metaforă pentru identitatea artistului în circul istoriei și al existenței la Matei Vișniec și Norman Manea. Articolul va evidenția afinităţi și diferenţe în modul în care Norman Manea și Matei Vișniec, doi scriitori marcanți ai exilului românesc din anii ’80, povestesc eșecul existențial în romanul Plicul negru și respectiv în piesa Angajare de clovn, recurgând amplu la instrumentele unui imaginar de natură intens poetică. Reprezentările onirice, care capătă conotații opuse în tramele celor doi autori, precum și anumite imagini-metafore elaborate după modele oferite de Federico Fellini, evidențiază aspecte care disting perspectiva exprimatǎ de fiecare scriitor referitoare la semantica densǎ şi amplǎ a circului. Ȋn piesa lui Matei Vișniec, toposul circului se declinǎ ȋn formele precaritǎții, care defineşte condiţia artistului precum şi pe cea general umană – ameninţată perpetuu de trecerea inexorabilă a Timpului. Cât priveşte romanul lui Norman Manea, scriitorul concentreazǎ ȋn aceastǎ tramǎ percepția Istoriei ca manifestare bufonescă şi vulgară, care condamnǎ individul, artistul în primă instanţă, la statutul de victimă. În acest mod, Manea și Vișniec explorează, de fapt, formele de manifestare proprii unui imaginar cultural și lingvistic legat de reprezentarea identității individuale și colective.

METAFORE DEL CIBO – UNA FORMA DI EREDITÀ CULTURALE E INNOVAZIONE LINGUISTICA. UN PARAGONE TRA METAFORE DEL CIBO IN ROMENO, INGLESE E ITALIANO
Authors: GOGÂȚĂ Cristina
Published: April 2023

Food Metaphors – A Form of Cultural Heritage and Linguistic Innovation. A Comparison between Romanian, English, and Italian Food Metaphors. Food is the centre of our world, both as a vital resource, and as a social, religious, and aesthetical experience. The cognitive theory of metaphor focuses on the capacity of food metaphors to convey representations of the world specific to individual languages. The aim of our research is to compare food metaphors in Romanian, Italian, and English. The cognitive frameworks taken into consideration reveal common representations of physical and moral human features that Italian, English and Romanian speakers associate with food metaphors. In this manner, food metaphors act as a cultural matrix encoding beliefs and stereotypes about us, about what we perceive as success and/or failure. Also, the food metaphors have a strongly motivated character, as the traits of food are similar to the physical and moral traits of human beings. Nevertheless, the comparison of the three languages reveals differences in the foods that are considered central, vital to each gastronomic community and in the traits that are valued or disregarded. Another subchapter of our research analyses food metaphors in argot, albeit its fast transformation due to its functioning as a secret language.
Metaforele alimentare – o formă de moștenire culturală și de inovație lingvistică. O comparație a metaforelor alimentare în limbile română, engleză și italiană. Mâncarea se regăsește în centrul vieții noastre, atât ca resursă vitală, cât și ca practică socială, religioasă ori estetică. Teoria metaforei conceptuale vizează potențialul metaforelor alimentare de a transmite reprezentări individuale ale lumii, în funcție de fiecare limbă. Scopul prezentei cercetări este de a compara metafore alimentare în limbile română, italiană și engleză. Schemele conceptuale analizate dezvăluie reprezentări comune ale trăsăturilor fizice și morale pe care vorbitorii italieni, români și englezi le asociază cu metaforele alimentare. Astfel, metaforele alimentare funcționează ca o matrice culturală care însumează credințe și stereotipii despre noi și despre ceea ce considerăm drept succes și/sau eșec. De asemenea, metaforele alimentare au un caracter profund motivat, deoarece trăsăturile alimentelor sunt similare trăsăturilor umane fizice și morale. Cu toate acestea, comparația în cele trei limbi relevă diferențe în ceea ce privește alimentele considerate centrale, esențiale pentru fiecare comunitate gastronomică, precum și în privința trăsăturilor care sunt valorizate sau disprețuite.

ON “THE FABRICK OF THE TONGUE”. LANGUAGE METAPHORS USED TO ADVOCATE DESCRIPTIVISM/PRESCRIPTIVISM IN ENGLISH AND ROMANIAN DICTIONARIES
Authors: ȘTEFĂNESCU Maria , MINICĂ Mircea
Published: April 2023

On “The Fabrick of the Tongue”. Language Metaphors Used to Advocate Descriptivism/Prescriptivism in English and Romanian Dictionaries. There has been considerable scholarly interest in the relationship between language and national identity. The topic is vast and multi-faceted, but in this paper we are especially interested in the manner in which the perceived interdependence between ‘mother tongue’ and ‘fatherland’ has often prompted policies intended to protect the former, and therefore the latter, of whatever was regarded as harmful influence. In particular, we intend to survey some lexicographical work undertaken in Great Britain and (what is now) Romania between the middle of the 18th century and the beginning of the 20th century in order to compare decisions on prescriptivism or descriptivism in dictionaries, and the reasons behind them. While some background information will be necessary, our main focus will be the language metaphors which lexicographers and other people who brought a contribution to dictionary making resorted to in order to support their arguments in favour of or against prescriptivism/descriptivism.
REZUMAT. Despre “țesătura limbii”. Metafore prin care se promovează de­scriptivismul/prescriptivismul în câteva dicționare englezești și românești. Relația dintre limbă și identitatea națională a făcut obiectul a numeroase cercetări. Subiectul este unul vast și complex, însă în contribuția de față ne propunem să acordăm atenție în special modului în care legătura care a fost stabilită între „limba maternă” și „pământul strămoșesc” a avut drept consecință (și) instituirea unor politici lingvistice menite să o protejeze pe prima (și, prin implicație, pe cel de al doilea) de orice influență considerată dăunătoare. Mai precis, ne propunem să trecem în revistă câteva dicționare elaborate în Marea Britanie și în România între mijlocul secolului al XVIII-lea și începutul secolului al XX-lea pentru a compara maniera în care lucrările respective se poziționează în chestiunea descriptivismului /prescriptivismului în lexicografie. Câteva date privind contextul istoric și cultural vor fi necesare, însă cea mai mare parte a articolului de față va fi dedicată inventarierii și analizei metaforelor de care s‑au servit lexicografii, dar și alți specialiști care au avut un cuvânt important de spus în alcătuirea lexicoanelor, pentru a‑și susține argumentele în favoarea sau împotriva descrip­ti­vismului /prescriptivismului.

NUOVE COSTRUZIONI DELL’IMMAGINARIO IDENTITARIO – STUDIO DI CASO
Authors: NEȘU Nicoleta
Published: April 2023

Some New Constructions of the Identitary Imaginary – A Case Study. The starting point of the present research is based mainly on the experience of working with young people of Romanian origin, more specifically, university students, who live and study abroad, and concerns their self-perception at the level of their identy and some possible characteristics of their imaginary identity. The theoretical aspect of this research can be divided in two as follows: a general part, focusing on the theory of migration, the ethnic language/heritage language and the new identity typologies resulting from the current economic and political state of affairs and a second part, structured according to the coordinates of the collective and personal imaginary. The practical aspect is based, on the one hand, on the answers these students offered to some questionnaires administered for a period of seven years and, on the other hand, on a series of compositions written by the students in the form of "open letters to Romania", as an assignment for their Romanian language course on the occasion of the National Day of Romania, collected over the last three years. I will try to analyse both the answers to the questionnaires and their "letters", from the perspective of the above mentioned theory, with the explicit purpose of extracting some characterisctics.
 Noi construcții ale imaginarului identitar – studiu de caz. Punctul de plecare al cercetării de față îl constituie, în principal, experiența de lucru cu tineri studenți de origine română care se află în situația de a locui, trăi și studia în afara granițelor românești, modul lor de a se autopercepe la nivel identitar și posibilele caracteristici ale imaginarului lor identitar. Aspectul teoretic al acestei cercetări este unul extrem de generos și l-aș divide într-o parte generală, având în centru teoria migrației, a limbii etnice/heritage language și a noilor tipologii identitare rezultate în urma unui necesar proces de re-evaluare datorat modificărilor situației politice și sociale la nivel mondial și o parte structurată pe coordonate ale imaginarului – colectiv și personal. Aspectul practic are la bază, pe de-o parte, răspunsurile acestor studenți la niște chestionare administrate lor în ultimii șapte ani și, pe de altă parte, o serie de compoziții scrise ale studenților sub forma unor scrisori deschise către România, redactate de către ei în cadrul cursului de limba română cu ocazia Zilei Naționale a României, în ultimii trei ani. Voi analiza atât răspunsurile la chestionare, cât și mesajele transmise prin aceste scrisori din perspectiva teoriei care face obiectul primei părți a cercetării noastre, cu finalitatea explicită de a extrage o serie de caracteristici structurante.

Religión y territorio en la filosofía política de al-Fārābī
Authors: López Farjeat Luis Xavier , Ganem Gutiérrez José Alfonso
Published: April 2023

El presente artículo explora el uso del par terminológico dār al-islām/dār al-ḥarb, primero desde la perspectiva de la jurisprudencia islámica y, posteriormente, desde la relación entre religión (milla), nación (umma) y territorio (maskan) en la filosofía política de al-Fārābī. Se destaca cómo en el planteamiento de al-Fārābī no aparece la dicotomía dār al-islām/dār al-ḥarb y se explica que eso permite interpretar que, para el filósofo, la comunidad política y su demarcación geográfica no dependen necesariamente de su identidad religiosa. Por lo tanto, se argumenta que el planteamiento filosófico de al-Fārābī descarta la división de naciones en función de su identidad religiosa. Más allá de las simples diferencias entre la ciencia jurídica y la filosofía, el artículo examina la conceptualización del territorio de al-Fārābī y sus consecuencias para la filosofía política.

Marketers are using metrics to diagnose, coordinate and monitor customer relationships and marketing efforts, set benchmarking goals to guide marketing implementation, and communicate the results of marketing outcomes with internal and external stakeholders.

Even if the number of available metrics is striking, some studies found support for the idea that the more metrics managers employed for their decisions, the better the marketing performance. Studies by the author also showed that using non-financial marketing metrics, such as awareness, willingness to recommend and loyalty, seemed to be associated with better marketing mix performance outcomes than using financial metrics, such as target volume, NPV and net profit. Developing a customer-centric organizational structure encourages managers to consider and develop a greater reliance on metrics.

Child Free Perspektif Agama Hindu
Authors: Harsananda Hari , Ambarnuari Mery
Published: April 2023

After the second world war, the increase in the world's population was so rapid that it raised issues of environmental damage, food security, and increased crime cases. This causes some densely populated countries to limit the number of births. The birth of a child leaves a carbon footprint of up to 58.6 tons/year. This is what causes the Childfree movement to emerge as one of the solutions offered by modern humans in overcoming environmental issues. The driving factors include environmental awareness, to a consumptive lifestyle due to capitalist ideology. Hinduism in its teachings views that having children is a obligation for parents because children can be the glue of husband-wife relationships and having children who are suputra is the main Yajna. Intelligent children will be able to solve the problems they face, including environmental issues which became the initial basis for the Child free movement. So not having children is not the only solution to overcome environmental damage. The method used in this article uses a qualitative method and uses a phenomenological approach which is described descriptively. The data in this article was obtained through literature studies, both from articles published in journals, Hindu religious sacred texts combined with analysis of data obtained and sourced from the internet in the form of documents, news to videos that are shown on the YouTube platform.

Authors: I Ketut Manik Asta Jaya
Published: April 2023

Penulisan karya ilmiah ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji lebih dalam tentang peran guru dalam menumbuhkan motivasi belajar siswa SD, terutama menumbuhkan motivasi belajar melalui ajaran karma yoga dalam kitab suci Bhagavadgita. Terutama sloka-sloka yang bisa dijadikan materi ajar untuk meningkatkan motivasi belajar siswa. Penulisan karya ilmiah ini menggunakan metode studi pustaka, dengan melakukan kajian berdasarkan referensi atau literatur yang tersedia, seperti buku, terutama dari artikel-artikel yang dipublikasikan dalam berbagai jurnal ilmiah. Hasil penelitian karya ilmiah ini menunjukan bahwa motivasi memegang peran penting dalam proses belajar siswa, terutama dalam upaya meningkatkan usaha belajar. Peran guru dalam membangun kesadaran peserta didik untuk belajar tentu merupakan bagian dari motivasi ekstrinsik, yang dilakukan melalui penyampaian ajaran karma yoga yang tertuang dalam sejumlah sloka pada kita suci Bhagavadgita. Ajaran karma yoga mengupas tentang kesadaran akan menjalankan kewajiban, dalam hal ini kewajiban sebagai seorang peserta didik ialah belajar. Jadi seorang peserta didik mesti memahami tugas yang harus dijalankan selama masih menyeam pendidikan ialah belajar. Kesadaran seperti ini tentu menjadi penting dimiliki oleh siswa yang masih duduk di bangku sekolah dasar. Sebab bila sejak di bangku sekolah dasar sudah memiliki motivasi intrinsik untuk belajar, karena menyadari bahwa belajar merupakan tugas kewajiban, tentu untuk jenjang pendidikan formal berikutnya peserta didik akan mampu belajar dengan lebih baik.
Libre albedrío como concepto teológico-político
Authors: Díaz Jorge-Aurelio
Published: April 2023

Se analiza el concepto de libre albedrío a la luz de los teólogos Tomás de Aquino, quien lo defiende, y Juan Calvino, quien lo impugna. Se muestran los dos sentidos de la libertad que se derivan de ello y cómo el individualismo cristiano ha sido el fundamento conceptual para la democracia liberal. Pero si la doctrina cristiana tiene elementos que compensan su radical individualismo, las sociedades descristianizadas carecen de tales elementos y corren peligro de convertirse en individualismos exacerbados.

A Covid-19, com alto índice de transmissibilidade e infecciosidade, se caracteriza como uma gripe comum, tendo como sintomas iniciais coriza, dor de garganta, tosse e febre, além de se apresentar assintomática nos níveis mais leves e graves podendo levar ao óbito, se tornando assim, um sinal de alerta para as autoridades públicas. Devido à gravidade da doença se fez necessário a inclusão da atenção básica no combate e controle pandêmico. Entretanto, a alta demanda de trabalho provenientes da pandemia de Covid-19 pode alterar a qualidade de vida do profissional de saúde. Objetivo: Devido ao exposto o presente estudo objetivou analisar o impacto da pandemia da Covid-19 na qualidade de vida dos profissionais de saúde da atenção básica. Metodologia: Trata-se de estudo transversal descritivo com características de censo, submetido ao comitê de ética da Faculdade Adventista da Bahia sobre registro CAAE: 38999120.2.0000.0042, tendo por público alvo profissionais da atenção primária à saúde da cidade de Governador Mangabeira-Ba, tendo por instrumentos utilizados Questionário de ansiedade e depressão – HAD, Inventário breve da dor, Wholqol-bref. Resultados: Participaram do estudo 98 profissionais de saúde, sendo 83,67% mulheres e 16,33% homens. A presença de ansiedade nos profissionais de saúde, 33% da população apresentaram sintomas ligados à ansiedade e 23% se apresentaram com chances de já terem desenvolvido ansiedade crônica. Outro sinal está relacionado aos sintomas depressivos, onde 27% da população apresentaram sintomas depressivos e 12% apresentaram chances de já terem desenvolvido a depressão, sendo que 92,6% da comunidade estudada relataram presença de regiões de dor. Conclusão: Os resultados demonstram que a pandemia de covid-19 colaborou para o acometimento e/ou piora da qualidade de vida dos profissionais de saúde da atenção básica, mesmo não podendo afirmar se a pandemia foi a causadora principal dos danos à saúde da população estudada, mas podemos dizer que estes dados demonstram uma necessidade destes temas serem abordados e seus sintomas acompanhados.

Published: April 2023

A set of ruthenium(II)-protic-N-heterocyclic carbene complexes, [Ru(NNCH)(PPh3)2(X)]Cl (1, X=Cl and 2, X=H) and their deprotonated forms [Ru(NNC)(PPh3)2(X)] (1', X=Cl and 2', X=H) are reported where NNC is a new unsymmetrical pincer ligand. The four complexes are interconvertible by simple acid-base chemistry. The combined theoretical and spectroscopic investigations indicate charge segregation in anionic-NHC complexes (1' and 2') and can be described from a Lewis pair perspective. The chemical reactivity of deprotonated complex 1' shows parallels with the FLP chemistry. Complex 1' activates H-H bond of hydrogen, C(sp3)-I bond of iodomethane and C(sp)-H bond of phenylacetylene. The activation of CO2 using anionic NHC complex 1' at moderate temperature and ambient pressure and subsequent conversion to formate is also described. All the new compounds have been characterized using ESI-MS, 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR spectroscopy. Structures of 1, 2, and 2' have also been determined with single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The FLP-type (cooperative Lewis pair) perspective broadens the scope of potential applications of anionic-NHC complexes in small molecule activation.
