Authors: Gorni Richard Lionel , Saud Udin Syaefudin , Sumarto Sumarto , Nurdin Diding
Published: July 2024

This study aims to investigate the integration of technology in the preparation of prospective teachers for educational management through the curriculum in Ghana. Utilizing a qualitative approach, the study analyzes how technology is embedded in learning and how prospective teachers respond to it in the context of education management. The main focus of this research is on the concept and use of technology in the educational process to enhance the understanding and skills of prospective teachers.  However, the study found that the curriculum policies, structure, and guidelines for pre-service teachers lack a clear vision for effectively integrating technology. Interviews with policymakers indicated their recognition of the importance of technology integration but also revealed the lack of investment hindered its progress. Drawing on the study's findings and existing research, context-specific recommendations are proposed, focusing on promoting innovative technology-based pedagogical models and developing effective leadership. The study involved participants from a teacher preparation program in Ghana, with data collection conducted through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and curriculum document analysis. Data were analyzed using an inductive approach to identify common patterns in technology integration and prospective teachers' responses to it. The results of this study are expected to provide insights into the extent to which technology is integrated in the teacher preparation curriculum in Ghana, as well as its impact on teacher candidates' readiness to manage education. The practical implications of this study can provide recommendations for improving the teacher education curriculum, adapting teaching strategies to technological developments, and increasing the effectiveness of teacher preparation in the digital era. The findings can provide valuable guidance for policy makers, educational institutions and educators to ensure that prospective teachers have the relevant and necessary skills to face future educational demands.

Authors: Shah Zada T. Muhammad , Nasirwan Nasirwan , Zainal Andri
Published: July 2024

The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between the focus on the overall compliance index of sharia banks in Indonesia, particularly the profitability role index, sharia supervisory boards, and independent commissioners, and reducing social disparity among low-income groups. This study specifically examines the sharia commercial banks in Indonesia, and the samples were chosen using the purposive sampling method. The data collected comprises secondary data, specifically the annual reports of sharia commercial banks from 2017 to 2021. The data underwent the usual assumption test for analysis. Applying the multiple linear regression method for hypothesis testing. The SPSS software is employed for data processing. The results of this study suggest that the presence of an audit committee has a significant and positive effect on the sharia compliance index. The variables of liquidity, profitability, leverage, and sharia supervisory board have a negative and statistically insignificant effect on the sharia compliance index. The independent commissioner variable has a favourable effect on the sharia compliance index, although this effect is statistically insignificant. Therefore, it may be inferred that the profitability index, Sharia Supervisory Board, and Independent Commissioners, which serve as benchmarks for guaranteeing Sharia compliance in Indonesian Sharia banks, are not successful in alleviating the prevailing social inequality in Indonesia.

Published: July 2024

The exposure to any kind of stress tends to accelerate the secondary metabolism in medicinal plants increasing the production of secondary metabolites. The present investigation was undertaken to study the effect of moisture stress (100, 75, 50, 25 and 10% pot capacity) and control (as without plant) on growth, yield and metabolite content of Centella asiatica var. ‘Arka Prabhavi’, for two growing seasons under polyhouse conditions. Results revealed that moisture stress treatments had a significant effect on all observed growth and yield traits. Plants maintained at 100% PC exhibited luxurious vegetative growth with maximum leaf length (6.28 cm), leaf breadth (8.14 cm), petiole length (22.32 cm) and fresh biomass yield (164 g/pot). Cumulative water transpired and water use efficiency of the plants was also observed to be maximum at 100% PC. In contrary to biomass yield, increased asiaticoside (1.864%, 1.892%), madecassoside (2.856%, 3.382%) and total triterpenoid content (5.356%, 5.578%) at higher moisture stress levels of 75% and 50% PC, respectively, was observed. Hence, it is appropriate to grow Centella either at 100% or 75% PC to get optimum biomass and metabolite yield on a commercial scale.
Vocational English Lecturers’ Professional Identity: A Closer Look to the Six Domains
Authors: Cendra Anastasia Nelladia , Sulindra Eric
Published: July 2024

The growing research on teachers’ identity focused mostly on pre-service teachers, beginning teachers, and teachers at the secondary level. Research on teacher identity in the tertiary context has indeed been carried out, however, not much research has focused on the identity of English lecturers in vocational institutions, which arguably face more challenges compared to non-vocational counterparts. Teachers’ identity impacts the teaching process, in the way teachers see themselves, value their roles, and what their beliefs about teaching. These things significantly influence how they approach their work in the classroom. Aiming to fill in the gaps and add to the literature regarding the identity of vocational lecturers, this study seeks to answer three questions: (1) How do vocational English lecturers define their identities related to the six domains namely self-image, motivation, commitment, self-efficacy, task perception, job satisfaction, of teacher identity? (2) What are the things that cause the vocational English lecturer to define their identity, based on the six domains? (3) What are the advantages of knowing the teachers’ identity regarding the challenges that the vocational English lecturers face in their professional lives? The research used the purposive sampling method in qualitative research and was based on the saturation principle to determine the number of research participants. Using questionnaires and interviews with three participants as well as three-stage coding techniques and inductive analysis, this research found various positive identities within all six domains of teacher identity. These identities stem from both personal and contextual factors. Despite these promising findings, vocational English lecturers encounter certain challenges, notably with students who often have limited academic abilities, resulting in feelings of inadequacy, and a lack of enthusiasm for the English learning process.

Limites da coisa julgada em matéria tributária
Authors: Bendlin Rafaela Witt , Decomain Pedro Roberto
Published: July 2024

O presente estudo busca identificar os limites da coisa julgada em matéria tributária e se esses limites devem ser relativizados, considerando as mudanças ocorridas após a formação da coisa julgada material e no contexto da segurança jurídica. O silogismo se concentra no fato de que há situações nas quais estes limites serão relativizados, como no caso de mudanças legislativas que modifiquem situação anterior estabelecida entre as partes, decisões proferidas pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal ou que mudanças que possibilitem o uso da ação rescisória. Se estas mudanças atingirem contribuintes sem decisão anterior sobre o fato, a via adequada, seja declaratório ou condenatório, é o procedimento comum, mas caso já tenha coisa julgada, pode ser necessário recorrer novamente ao Poder Judiciário da forma pertinente ao caso. A presente pesquisa classifica-se como exploratória, bibliográfica e qualitativa. A conclusão alcançada foi de que os limites da coisa julgada em matéria tributária devem ser relativizados quando há novo cenário jurídico acerca de determinada relação tributária, de forma que o contribuinte, tendo decisão anterior entre as partes ou não, não saia prejudicado, pois não é plausível que o contribuinte arque com impostos que não são devidos.

A pesar de que las empresas familiares representan un gran porcentaje del conjunto de empresas a nivel mundial, las aportaciones metodológicas acerca de su estimación son muy escasas. El presente trabajo ofrece una metodología de identificación de empresas familiares versus no familiares utilizando como fuente de información la base de datos SABI Informa (versión española de Orbis), considerando fundamentalmente variables de propiedad y de gobierno corporativo para su clasificación. El diseño de la metodología SAFER permite su aplicación sin necesidad de realizar una extracción masiva de datos, lo que contribuye a su accesibilidad y facilidad de uso por parte de los investigadores. Asimismo, la metodología propuesta ha sido testada utilizando una muestra de 500 empresas, encontrando un error de clasificación inferior al cinco por ciento. Este trabajo aporta a los investigadores una metodología consensuada para la selección de muestras de empresas familiares, pudiendo ser trasladada a bases de datos equivalentes en otros países (e.g., AIDA, Italian company data o Markus en Alemania), o escaladas a la base de datos Orbis de ámbito global. Finalmente, nuestros resultados también representan un avance al facilitar la labor de los profesionales y responsables políticos en el desarrollo de informes sobre empresas familiares a través de un proceso riguroso de identificación y clasificación.

Published: July 2024

The search for new protein sources for food formulation is increasing. Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae have high levels of protein, good fat content and are rich in essential amino acids, making them an alternative source of dietary protein. In this work, the nutritional properties and metabolomic characterization of black soldier fly larvae meal native to the Peruvian Amazon reared on three organic waste substrates were carried out. The three meals had a high protein content (38.90-44.68%), lipids (26.96-31.01%), as well as a high potassium, calcium and low sodium content. The larvae meal fed with orange bagasse presented the best content of iron and manganese. The fatty acid profile showed a high content of palmitic, oleic and linoleic acids for the three flours. The most abundant essential amino acids in the three meals were leucine, lysine and valine. A total of 48 compounds were identified in the larvae meal fed with orange bagasse, 24 compounds in the larvae meal fed with oats and 44 compounds in the larvae meal fed with ripe banana pulp. These results indicate that black soldier fly larvae meals native to the Peruvian Amazon are a good source of proteins, minerals, essential amino acids and unsaturated fatty acids with high nutritional value.

Authors: Kurniawan Samer Al- Ekki , Raharjo Jangkung , Suhartono Efri , Kurniawan Uke , Permana Agus Ganda , Manfaati Rintis
Published: July 2024

Background: Alkaline and acidic water can be produced through the electrolysis process. There are two types of electrolysis equipment, namely batch type and continuous type, that can produce it. Continuous type tools are fast but expensive. Batch type tools are cheaper, but the process is slow. Both types of equipment require large amounts of energy and are expensive to operate. Another problem is that the content of the ions that form alkaline and acidic water is not yet known.
 
Objective:The Objective is to determine the changes in ions that occur on the anode and cathode sides, to investigate the types of ions that most influence the formation of alkaline  and acidic water, and to create a piper diagram. The aim of this research is to create a device that can produce alkaline and acidic water at a price that is affordable for the wider community.
 
Method: This equipment is made from a portable plastic teapot as the cathode side and a small bottle as the anode side. The anode and cathode sides are separated by a cellulose cotton membrane, with carbon and stainless steel (SS) electrodes. The electric voltage taken from  a solar cell module is 12 V;50 Wp. The output voltage  of electrolysis was converted to 45 VDC in one hour. Electrolyzed water with an initial pH of 6.71 was taken from the Regional Drinking Water Company (PDAM) of Bandung City, Indonesia. Testing for the content of ions in water using American Public Health Association (APHA) standards was carried out in the laboratory of the ITB-Bandung Environmental Engineering department.
 
Results and Conclusions: Based on the test on the sample, it was determined that the formation of alkaline water at the cathode side with pH 8.32 is caused by the ions Ca2+, Na+, Mg2+, and K+, with a concentration of 0.387; 0.369; 0.302; and 0.284 mmol/L, respectively. Some of the Mg2+ ions were precipitated. The formation of acidic water at the anode side with pH 2.34 was caused by the anions Cl-, NO3- , SO42-, and CO32-/HCO3 with a concentration of 1,757; 0.052; 0.147, and 3.153 mmol/L, respectively. Furthermore, it is concluded that the electrolysis device is designed for the production of alkaline  and acid water at a capacity of 1400 mL in 60 minutes, with an average energy of 0.002 kWh and a cost of unit production of around Rp. 2.8.
 
Research Implications: Useful for the development of education, teaching, and further research, especially in electrochemical major, as well as community service in making alkaline and acidic water for health.
 
Originality/Value: Practical, simple, cheap way to make alkaline and acid water, qualitative and quantitative analysis, ion composition before and after electrolysis reaction, use of solar energy for electrolysis, changes in piper diagram before and after electrolysis.

One of the effective methods of artery and vein occlusion used in experimental studies and in clinical practice for certain diseases is local exposure of vessels to high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). The wide use of this method in our country is limited by the lack of appropriate domestic equipment. At the Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, in the Laboratory of Ultrasound Technologies of the Center for Advanced Research, a stand for HIFU effects on various biological objects has been developed. There is no experience in using this device in angiology yet. The purpose of our research was to study the possibility of using Medusa 008, a high-tech mobile medical device designed for ultrasound diagnosis and personalized HIFU therapy, to model vascular occlusion and stop blood flow during irradiation. Materials and methods. The object of the study is the femoral artery of a rabbit. The source of HIFU is Medusa 008, the high-tech mobile medical device designed for ultrasound diagnostics and personalized HIFU-therapy with radiation frequency of 2 MHz (prototype). The following irradiation modes were used in the research: irradiation duration - 50 ms, pause between exposures – 10 ms, number of pulses – 20, 30, 40. The following energy values corresponded to these modes: 58 J, 87 J, 116 J. Irradiation of the femoral artery of an anesthetized rabbit was performed percutaneously. We used ultrasound to visualize the arteries and measure the blood flow velocity. According to ultrasound data, after HIFU irradiation, blood flow in the artery stopped. The factor contributing to arterial occlusion is the cessation of blood flow during irradiation. A histological examination of the area of the irradiated artery revealed structural changes in all layers of the vascular wall. Results. HIFU irradiation with intensity of 87 and 116 J has a significant dose-dependent destructive effect on the muscular arterial wall. The more intense damaging irradiation (116 J) causes smooth muscle cell necrosis. The time of direct influence on the vessel wall structures did not exceed 3 sec. During the experiment, we found that HIFU in the used modes causes temperature increase up to 45–60 оC, which is enough for thermal damage of cells in the irradiation zone. Conclusion. Thus, as a result of the above experiments, it was shown that Medusa 008, the high-tech mobile medical device designed for ultrasound diagnostics and personalized HIFU-therapy can be used to simulate vascular occlusion.
A Case Study in Vaccine Sharing Across Nations
Authors: You Jongeun , Katz Juniper
Published: July 2024

Research on social equity has grown substantially in recent years and has elevated the importance of addressing structural and systemic patterns of inequity in public service delivery. Through a social equity lens, this article explores the vaccine-sharing policies of China, India, the European Union, and the United States. Using the case of international vaccine sharing and a text-as-data approach, this article argues that the state actors’ commitments to sharing COVID-19 vaccines were insufficient to uphold fairness, justice, and equity. The article concludes with recommendations for practice and public administration theory development to expand the scope of social equity research to betweennation cases.
Black Leaders in American Foreign Policy:
Authors: Brinkerhoff Jennifer
Published: July 2024

Data on Black Ambassadors from 1949 to 2020 presented as WEB Du Bois-inspired data visualizations, and a historical review of Black Americans in the US State Department confirm the State Department has not achieved diversity reflective of American society. The theory of racialized organizations helps to explain why, and the lens of institutional theory suggests elements that could contribute to achieving a more representative State Department bureaucracy: 1) networks of institutional entrepreneurs; 2) accessing power and influence sources; as they work towards 3) establishing new norms; and 4) data for justice.

Municipal Sustainability Plans and the Inclusion of Social Equity Initiatives
Authors: Prentice Valencia , Tao Jie , Bamanie Mohamad , Humphrey Duchess , Joseph-Stanislaus Linwyse
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the factors that influence municipalities’ decisions to include social equity in their sustainability plans. The theoretical framework commonly used holds that community priority, administrative capacity, governing institutions, and social vulnerability matter. Although there is extensive literature supporting the influence of these factors in sustainability planning concerning economic development and environmental protection, few studies have investigated whether these factors explain decision-making related to the social equity dimension. Using logistic regression, this article tests these four theoretical explanations, to determine their applicability to equity-oriented sustainability planning. Results indicate that community priorities influence decision-making. When officials perceive that their communities prioritize social equity, they are much more likely to pursue equity-focused sustainability plans. Alternatively, when economic development is prioritized, equity strategies are less likely to be included in sustainability plans. The findings suggest possible policy tradeoffs among economic, environmental and equity goals.

Universal versus Targeted Stipends: How to Reduce Inequity While Avoiding Stigma in Medical Education
Authors: Benton Mark , Reece Nicolas
Published: July 2024

Medical education pathway programs address disparity in the medical workforce, particularly in rural areas, but inequity between program participants detracts from the goal. Universal, rather than targeted, stipends overcome this inequity. We report an evaluation of a universal stipend program for undergraduate students in a medical education pathway program. The stipend covers costs associated with preparing to take the MCAT exam. Findings reveal that students who are less advantaged, have lower income, and whose parents have less education, received more benefits from the stipend than those from advantaged backgrounds. The universal stipend design avoids stigmatizing recipients while it helps grow the medical education pathway.
Exploring Education's Role in Sustainable Urbanisation through PUKAR's Youth Fellowship Program
Authors: Ambekar Neelima , Jain Divya , Patel Vishal , Sakat Arvind , Shah Abhishek , Shah Nagma
Published: July 2024

This research explores the potential of the Youth Fellowship Program (YFP) as a supplementary urban educational intervention to formal higher education. The findings highlight the significance of the YFP as a crucial element in enabling research-oriented, problem-focused and action-oriented urban education. Such an approach complements formal urban higher education and addresses existing gaps, making contemporary urban education more responsive to the challenges faced in urban settings. Firstly, the programme recognises critical gaps in the contemporary higher education curriculum, ensuring that essential dimensions of Indian urbanisation, including vulnerability, inequality, access to basic services, urban poverty and informal employment, receive due recognition. Secondly, the YFP acts as a bridge between formal and informal education systems, establishing strong feedback loops within the learning ecosystem and facilitating the integration of practical knowledge into formal higher education. Thirdly, the YFP places human agency at the core of its transformative agenda. By prioritising core constitutional principles in education and providing space for vulnerable and marginalised youth to become YFP fellows, the programme aligns with representation issues, ensuring inclusivity and fostering empowerment among the learners. Fourthly, the YFP structurally demonstrates its effectiveness in addressing multiple interdependencies inherent in various urban development agendas. Unlike discipline and skill-focused higher education systems in India, the programme enables a holistic approach where YFP can engage with challenges in areas like healthcare and navigate a suite of interconnected development issues. Finally, the research emphasises the YFP’s participatory processes of learning as an iterative and dynamic approach. Such participatory learning fosters an empowering environment and emphasises learning as a continual journey rather than a mere end point.

Authors: Junaid M.
Published: July 2024

This study aimed to determine the reasons for migrant Bugis pilgrims to carry out the mapatoppo ritual, the mapatoppo process and the impact of the mapatoppo on the lives of migrant Bugis pilgrims. This research is included in qualitative field research. The research setting is located in Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency, Jambi Province with a focus on Kuala Jambi Subdistrict, especially Tanjung Solok Village and Kampung Laut Village as the base for overseas Bugis people. The research subjects in this study were the village head and his staff as many as 2 people, 20 people for haji and hajjah of Bugis migrants and 2 people as topanrita (ulama / ustadz) of Bugis. The results of this study found three main conclusions: first, the pilgrims were interested in performing the mapatoppo ritual because they considered the mapatoppo ritual as a symbol for wearing the pilgrims attributes officially. In addition, they also consider the mapatoppo ritual as a means of dipalecceki barakka (the process of transferring barakka / blessings from anre gurutta or sheikhs). Second, the mapotoppo process for the male congregation begins with the way they sit in a half circle in front of their sheikh. Then they are summoned before the sheikh one by one. Then they were asked to intend and then paired with a white rimless fezlike cap and surubeng by the sheikh. They do this in turn until it's finished. Meanwhile, the mapotoppo process for women congregation begins with the way they sit in a half circle in front of the sheikh's wife. Then they were asked to intend and they were taught to use talulung. After finishing using the talulung, then put trispak on top of the talulung. Then they are dressed in kabbe (skipping clothes). Third, the impact felt by pilgrims who have carried out the mapatoppo ritual is that they always wear Hajj clothing on official occasions and in everyday life. In addition, they also enforced againts not to work for 40 days. They just rested at home while worshiping and waiting for the arrival of their family and neighbors

This product was popular and consumed by many people because of the reason liked easily to make, more efficient, didn’t have pulp and soluble in water. The study aims to determine chemical properties and quality sensor of instant coffee from Argopuro regency. Co- crystallization was the method that used to make coffee instant product. The crystallization agent that commonly used is sucrose from sugar. The process occurred when the sucrose concentration in the solution was at a super saturated level, it would make coating compound molecules in the form of crystal nuclei and grew into larger component. This study used a Randomized Complete Design with two factors. First factor was concentration ground coffee (10%, 30%), and the next one was concentration of sugar (80%, 90%, and 100%). The observation parameters included rendement, moisture content, ash content, and sensory properties. The result was suspected that chemical properties did show significant effect and the best result from important attributed taste was shown by 30% ground coffee concentration and 100% sugar concentration.

INTRODUCTION: The bacterial pyomyositis (BP) is a rare infectious disease that affects the skeletal muscle system and it is most often caused by S aureus. It affects one or several muscle groups and an early diagnosis is important, otherwise it may cause serious infectious conditions, including sepsis and long-term disabling sequelae and even limb loss. PURPOSE: To describe a case report of a patient with pyomyositis early diagnosed and good evolution. REPORT: 10-year-old patient with severe pain in the lower limbs and in the pelvic girdle and claudication for one day, that started after riding a bicycle for a long period of time. Patient denied fever or general symptoms. Laboratory tests showed an ongoing inflammatory process and blood culture was negative. X-ray and ultrasound of the hip and left thigh were normal, but MRI of the hip showed signs suggestive of bacterial pyomyositis. Intravenous antibiotics were started with fast improvement. Patient was discharged after 21 days of antibiotic therapy, without sequelae. CONCLUSION: The careful clinical history and the magnetic nuclear resonance confirmed the diagnosis of the disease and allowed early institution of the treatment, evolving with no sequelae.

Análisis del ámbito estrictamente castrense de los delitos de rebelión y de protección de la disciplina militar en el código penal militar

Authors: Parra Garófano Francisco De Asís
Published: July 2024

En la “Transición Democrática” se puso sobre el tapete, en los conocidos “Pactos de la Moncloa”, la necesidad de abordar la doble regulación de delitos en la legislación castrense respecto de la común. Esta necesidad de reconducción de la regulación de los delitos al texto legal correspondiente, según su naturaleza militar o no, se vio reforzada por la entrada en vigor de la Constitución Española de 1978, en cuyo art. 117.5 impide al legislador la regulación como militar y atribución al fuero castrense del conocimiento de delitos ajenos a las Fuerzas Armadas. Sobre tales premisas, es cuestionable que en la actualidad el Código Penal Militar de 2015, en su art. 9.2. b), considere como delito militar el delito de rebelión, regulado por entero en los arts. 472 y ss. del Código Penal, si lo comete un militar en caso de conflicto armado internacional, incrementando su pena en un quinto. Esta postura crítica se formula sobre la base de la naturaleza jurídica común del bien jurídico que se protege en el delito de rebelión, frente a la existencia a otros delitos que si participan de naturaleza estrictamente castrense, como son los relativos a la protección de la disciplina militar conformados por algunos tipos penales de sedición y desobediencia.

Dostojewskijs Gottesfrage aus der Sicht von Jean-Paul Sartre und Slavoj Žižek
Authors: Raynova Yvanka
Published: July 2024

One of the most discussed problems in Dostoyevsky's work, at least in Western philosophy and especially in Existentialism, concerns the question of God, which has been received and interpreted in very different ways. This editorial introduction will refer to two readings - that of Sartre and that of Slavoj Žižek. The aim is to show that these two interpretations, although at first sight seemingly antithetical, are not mutually exclusive but complementary.
Benthic invertebrate fauna of a forest spring on the Muravyov- Amursky Peninsula (Primorsky Krai, Southern Russian Far East)

Published: July 2024

The fi rst data on spring macroinvertebrate fauna of the Southern Russian Far East are presented. Macrobenthos of a small forest spring classifi ed as helocrene includes at least 21 species from 20 genera and 17 families in Arthropoda and Platyhelminthes. Main groups of benthic organisms are amphipods, planarians, larvae of dipterous insects, caddisfl ies, stonefl ies and mayfl ies, small water beetles. The following invertebrates are defi ned to the species level: planaria Phagocata sibirica, stonefl y Skwala compacta, caddisfl y Glossosoma angarensis, aquatic beetles Hydraena riparia (imago) and Heterlimnius gapyeongensis (larvae), amphipods Gammarus koreanus and hypogean Procrangonyx primoryensis. The macrobenthos of the spring is also ecologically diverse. Here, rheo- and stagnophiles, highly specialized stygo- and crenobionts, and species with wide ecological niches, sharply diff ering in their preferences, closely coexist.
