Authors: Adara Reza Anggriyashati , Zulaeha Elli Rahmawati , Arianto Anggiarini , Kamilah Wilda , Najmudin Onin
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Pronunciation can be considered as one of the most difficult aspects to acquire in second language acquisition. Analyzing pronunciation errors may provide teachers and researchers on the best approaches to teach pronunciation. In addition, it has been suggested that students who are interested in correcting their pronunciation errors can be more motivated to acquire the target language. Thus, the present study aims to analyze the relationship between pronunciation errors of voiceless θ words and students’ motivation. The present study applied a descriptive qualitative approach by interviewing 15 students from a senior high school in Bekasi, Indonesia. The results of present study suggest that the majority of the respondents found it difficult to pronounce voiceless θ words. However, their difficulties to pronounce voiceless θ words might not correlate with their motivation to learn English as the majority of the respondents are motivated to learn English despite finding difficulties to pronounce voiceless θ words. Furthermore, the majority of the participants are motivated to improve their pronunciation due to extrinsic factors. Implications and further studies are also discussed in the present study.Keywords: Motivation, Pronunciation Errors, Qualitative Study, Voiceless Θ Words

Published: August 2023

La educación durante la pandemia se adaptó a nuevas metodologías de trabajo, el nivel inicial tuvo que enfrentar los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje frente a diversos dispositivos tecnológicos, se dejó de lado la metodología juego-trabajo que se imparte en las aulas de clase y se incorporó nuevos procesos educativos en casa con herramientas digitales, por tal motivo, la presente investigación analiza la influencia de la virtualidad en el proceso enseñanza aprendizaje en el nivel inicial. Este estudio tuvo un enfoque cuantitativo con alcance descriptivo. La técnica fue la encuesta y el instrumento: cuestionario, con preguntas de opción múltiple, dirigidas a docentes y padres de familia, como actores directos de la enseñanza de los niños y niñas, donde se sintetizó las ventajas y desventajas de la modalidad virtual en el proceso educativo. Los resultados de las encuestas a las docentes parvularias indicaron que la influencia en el aprendizaje fue negativa en la modalidad virtual, porque el desempeño docente se vio truncado por la falta de capacitaciones, fallas de conectividad, clases de manera asincrónica, falta de recursos digitales, mientras que, los resultados de las encuestas de los padres de familia, indicaron que la influencia fue positiva en el aprendizaje de sus hijos e hijas, porque la institución brindó todas las herramientas necesarias para que la modalidad virtual sea óptima. Finalmente, se concluye que, las instituciones deben contar con los recursos tecnológicos adecuados para desarrollar las competencias digitales de todos los actores educativos, pero también, es urgente que los docentes desafíen, superen e incorporen las TIC en la educación.

Authors: Gonzalez Parra Tanya Elizabeth , Quituisaca Uguña Veronica Narcisa
Published: August 2023

Tras la aparición de Covid-19 y la obligatoriedad de confinamiento; surge la necesidad de encontrar un medio alternativo de desarrollar las actividades laborales, motivo por el cual, al igual que en distintos países en el Ecuador se optó por la modalidad teletrabajo. Si bien, dentro del Acuerdo Ministerial Nro. MDT-2020-181 se regula la jornada laboral, la carente existencia de mecanismos que permitan controlar el cumplimiento del horario establecido ocasiono la vulneración de derechos laborales. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar si la falta de regulación efectiva del teletrabajo por parte del Estado podría acarrear una explotación laboral de los trabajadores en el sector privado es por ello que a través de la metodología cualitativa se realizó un análisis tanto de las características esenciales del teletrabajo como de la normativa referente a los derechos de los trabajadores. Si bien existe normativa que salvaguarda derechos laborales la falta de políticas públicas encaminadas a establecer mecanismos de control para el cumplimiento y respeto de la jornada laboral ocasionó la vulneración de los derechos laborales esto se evidencio con testimonios y el alto índice de demandas que se generó en el periodo marzo a septiembre del 2020.

ARCHITECTURAL NEUROLOGY
Authors: Lopez Suarez Ana Carolina
Published: August 2023

This paper aims to propose the implementation of an innovative digital system for architectural design. This new method, based on the interpretation of human emotions for music composition, and the analysis of dreams, would be able to translate images based on architects’ memories, emotions, and learning to design architectural spaces. If this system is able to build, how will it affect architectural design? Different investigations, studies, and analyses are needed to support and answer this thesis. A discovery of a system for musical composition in London, based on the analysis of neural impulses and brain waves; the comparison between the process used for musical composition and architectural design through the explanation of renowned musicians and architects’ methods; and the study of dreams through brain wave analysis would provide us with results and possible benefits for an easier method to design architectural areas. This implementation will offer three benefits: accelerate the design process, automatically associate images and concepts, and have a pure and natural architectural design. Also, the system, capable of linking different images, concepts, emotions, and experiences, would provide various options of spaces produced by the architect. However, understanding that technology will keep advancing with time, human being labor is always needed to refine the method, and an architect would be needed to define and be in charge of choosing between the different options of spaces that the system produced.

Aim: To assess the relationship between initial plasma chitotriosidase (CHIT) activity and the dynamics of computed tomography (CT) data: lung injury volume, liver and spleen density in COVID-19 hospitalized patients.

Material and Methods. The sub-analysis of the study registered in the Clinical Trial Registry with number: NCT04752085 was performed. The data of patients with available CT data of the chest on admission and at least once in dynamics during the period of hospitalization and the initial level of CTS in the blood plasma were analyzed. The density of the liver and spleen was determined in the scanned upper abdominal images, followed by the calculation of the ratio of the density of the liver to the density of the spleen.

Results. A total of 121 patients were enrolled in this sub-analysis. Their baseline characteristics were as follows: median age 62 [53;70], males 48,7%. Between the day of admission and 7 [6;9] days of hospitalization, there was a significant increase in mean liver density from 52,04 [45,4; 56,7] to 57,5 [49,8; 62,7] HU and L/S ratio (liver to spleen ratio) 1,05 [0,91; 1,14] to 1,13 [0,99; 1,28], p < 0,001. The dynamics of the volume of lung tissue damage was multidirectional and, in general, did not change significantly. CHIT activity among patients whose lung injury volume increased during the hospitalization was significantly lower (65 [27; 119] nmol/ml/h) compared with patients whose lung injury volume did not change or decreased (124 [53; 232] nmol/ml/h), p = 0.006. The risk of lung injury progression was higher in patients with baseline CHIT level less than 100 nmol/h/ mL, (HR 3.1, 95% CI 1.4–6.9).

Conclusion. Insufficient increase of CHIT activity can be associated with progression of lung injury, but does not affect the evolution of liver and spleen density as measured by CT.

Published: August 2023

El Carbono orgánico del suelo está relacionado con las propiedades físicas, químicas y biológicas del suelo, y el Nitrógeno es un macroelemento esencial en el crecimiento de las plantas. Con el fin de conocer los reservorios de Carbono y Nitrógeno en un Cambisol, se realizó un estudio en Linares, Nuevo León, México. Se recolectaron cuatro muestras compuestas (n=4) (submuestras individuales) a cinco profundidades (0-5, 5-15, 15-30, 30-60 y 60-100 cm), en dos usos del suelo: Matorral Espinoso Tamaulipeco (MET) y Pastizal inducido de uso pecuario, para un total de 40 muestras (20 por uso de suelo). Las variables químicas analizadas fueron porcentaje de Carbono orgánico del suelo (COS), Nitrógeno total (Nt), y se estimó la relación C:N. Asimismo, se determinó la densidad aparente (Da) para estimar el almacén de COS y Nt (Mg ha-1). Las concentraciones medias de COS y Nt para el MET fueron de 2.87 y 0.28 %, y para el Pastizal de 2.21 y 0.21 %, respectivamente. Los análisis estadísticos mostraron diferencias en los reservorios de COS y Nt entre usos del suelo y profundidades. Los almacenes en el perfil analizado (0-100 cm) fueron de 164.99 y 19.83 Mg ha-1 para el MET, y para Pastizal de 146.07 y 17.81 Mg ha-1, respectivamente. El promedio de la relación C:N para el MET fue de 9.28 y en Pastizal de 10.73. El cambio de uso de suelo del MET a Pastizal provocó una disminución en las reservas de COS y Nt de 11.47 y 10.17 %, respectivamente.

This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the visual thinking level of junior high school students with the learning style of assimilators, converges, accommodators, and divergers in solving geometry problems. The type of research used is qualitative research with a grounded theory and case study design. The subjects studied were junior high school students consisting of 6 of 56 students. Data were collected through a learning style inventory (LSI) test given to 56 students to group participants based on the learning style of the Kolb model, then a geometry problem-solving test and interviews were given to 6 students, namely two assimilator students, one converges, one accommodator, and two diverger students. The analysis is based on data from written test results and interviews. Then, time triangulation is carried out to obtain valid research data. The analysis was conducted based on data from written test results and interview results paired with video recordings. Then, triangulation of time is carried out to obtain valid research data. The results of the analysis showed that assimilator students and converger students were able to achieve at the global visual level, namely being able to carry out visual thinking activities well in solving problems, illustrate the problem correctly in geometric drawings/objects, represent problems in mathematical symbols precisely and can express relationships between images well. While accommodator and diverger students can only reach the local visual level, they have yet to be able to show every visual thinking activity well in solving geometry problems, illustrating problems in geometry drawings that could be more precise, and solving rudimentary geometry problems.
Students' mathematical argumentation ability when proving mathematical statements based on self-efficacy
Authors: Kurniawan Surya , Rosjanuardi Rizky , Suhendra Suhendra
Published: August 2023

Argumentation as an aspect of problem-solving has been studied in mathematics education. However, mathematical proof still needs to be resolved further. This study investigates students' mathematical argumentation skills when proving mathematical statements based on their self-efficacy. The research subjects were 43 mathematics education students at a university in Aceh Province who had taken a number theory course. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design: students’ mathematical proving self-efficacy. Data was obtained using self-efficacy questionnaires and mathematical proof test instruments that experts have validated, while the data triangulation used was an in-depth interview. The results of this study reveal that students' mathematical argumentation skills in proving mathematical statements have differences based on their self-efficacy. The mathematical argumentation ability of students with high self-efficacy involves all aspects of argumentation well so that the construction of the proof is scientifically correct. Meanwhile, the argumentation ability of students with moderate or low self-efficacy still does not involve essential aspects of argumentation. So, the proof results are not scientifically correct because they have not arrived at the proper conclusion.

Authors: Modupeoluwa Omotunde Soroye  , Best Ordinioha  , Golden Owhonda  , Soter Ameh
Published: August 2023

Background: COVID-19 started with the diagnosis of a patient with pneumonia of unknown origin (PUO) at Jinyintan Hospital in Wuhan, China, on December 31, 2019. Usually, those infected are treated with preventive and orthodox measures based on WHO recommendations; but is it possible that some persons may prefer additional treatment modalities based on their faith/spirituality and home remedies in addition to those? This study assessed the individual’s healthcare preferences in the control of COVID-19. Methodology: Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data on individuals’ healthcare preferences. Data were analyzed using IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. Categorical data and numerical data were summarized using frequencies, mean, standard deviation, and median. A chi-square test was done to determine Statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Multinomial statistics was done to determine factors associated with care preference Results: 400 participants were recruited with an M: F of 1:1.5. Two-fifths were in the third decade of life and had tertiary education. The mean age was 29.48±10.32 years. 379(94.7%) of participants wanted to be treated by orthodox medicine if infected by COVID-19, however, 30.8% and 39.2% would in addition prefer Trado-medical agents like garlic, ginger, steam inhalation and faith (fasting, praying, going to mosque/church and paying of zakat and tithe) respectively. There were significant associations between participants’ professions (p=0.03), age group(p=0.04), education (p=<0.0001), and care preference when infected with COVID-19. Conclusion: 3 out of 10 participants would prefer to add tradomedical agents (home remedies) and 2 out of 5 would prefer to use their faith in addition to orthodox management of COVID-19 if infected.

Published: August 2023

This study aims to determine the effect of financial distress on tax avoidance, moderated by good corporate governance. This research was conducted on transportation and logistics sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2019–2021 because the Indonesian economy began to experience a contraction as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2019 and continued until 2021, therefore it has an impact on state tax revenues. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique, and 14 companies were identified. The data analysis technique used is moderation regression analysis. This study also uses factor analysis techniques to find the best factors to serve as proxies for corporate governance. The results of the study show that financial distress has a positive effect on tax avoidance. This study also found that good corporate governance which is proxied by an independent board of commissioners can weaken the effect of financial distress on tax avoidance. The increasing financial distress in companies, the practice of tax avoidance is also increasing. If the company implements good governance, the management will make less effort to tax avoidance. This is because the more the number of independent commissioners, the more effective it is in supervising the performance of managers.

Purposive sampling technique was used to determine the research sample and obtained a sample of 100 observations. The research method used is multiple linear regression analysis method. The results of the study show that stimulus, capability, collusion, opportunity, rationalization, ego and financial distress simultaneously influence financial statement fraud. Partially, stimulus, collusion, and ego effect detecting fraudulent financial statements, while capability, opportunity, rationalization, and financial distress have no effect on detecting fraudulent financial statements. This research has implications for the government as a regulator, or parties who use information in financial statements as a material consideration in assessing the opportunities for fraudulent acts to occur in company financial reports.
HUSSERL E NIETZSCHE: A “TRANSMUTAÇÃO” DO NIILISMO
Authors: Fontana Vanessa Furtado
Published: August 2023

O artigo pretende pensar o aspecto afirmativo do pensamento de Nietzsche ao propor uma “transmutação” do niilismo. Transmutação está em destaque, pois para Nietzsche o niilismo faz parte da vontade de potência, ou seja, para superar o niilismo decadente da cultura europeia e ocidental é necessário saber direcionar o aspecto negativo, ou melhor, da crítica aos valores tradicionais, para afirmar a vida, o ‘sujeito criador’ e a finitude. Ao pensar no poder do aspecto niilista presente na transmutação da cultura, poder esse que destrói os valores da cultura ocidental e faz nascer uma possibilidade de superação do niilismo, pensa-se também em Edmund Husserl como um representante da filosofia nietzschiana ao fazer implodir a noção de cultura ocidental através da crítica às ciências sejam elas positivas, do espírito (história, psicologia e sociologia), ou a própria filosofia através da crítica à metafísica e sua dicotomia realismo versus idealismo como causa e fundamento da crise cultural. Para aproximar Nietzsche e Husserl deve-se entender que Husserl efetivou o principal chamado de Nietzsche, o chamado pela afirmação da vida, afirmação do mundo fenomênico e afirmação da ‘subjetividade’ criadora, o que propiciou novos rumos ao pensar contemporâneo. Husserl faz da fenomenologia uma filosofia pensante da aproximação com o mundo e com as coisas mesmas, num ato de liberdade e criação de um campo relacional de sentido, aproximando-se ao si criador, ao além-do-homem nietzschiano.

Bataille não apenas ratifica o pensamento nietzschiano longe das interpretações nazistas, mas também se utiliza de Nietzsche para intensificar seu próprio pensamento. Sob esta perspectiva, podemos dizer que um dos temas que atravessam o pensamento de Bataille é o da morte de Deus e do vazio deixado pela sua ausência. Pretendemos, diante disso, trazer alguns conceitos de Bataille, como o Nada, o limite e a transgressão, o erotismo, o possível e o impossível, principalmente em sua inspiração nietzschiana. Por isso, um dos textos que vai guiar este estudo é Sur Nietzsche, em que o filósofo alemão, aos olhos de Bataille, aparece como um “além filósofo”, um super-Nietzsche ou, ainda, uma superação, através do riso e da tragédia, de Deus e de sua ausência
“LA RESURRECTION INFINIE” DE JEAN-LUC NANCY : POUR UNE LECTURE BLANCHOT-NIETZSCHEENNE DE LA COMMUNAUTE DESŒUVREE
Authors: ZUE ABA’A Salatyiel
Published: August 2023

Il est question de montrer  que l’une des clés de compréhension de l’idéal communautaire chez Jean-Luc Nancy, passe par sa mise en relation avec la critique littéraire de Maurice Blanchot. Autrement dit, l’idée de communauté recèle une essence poétique de l’absence-présence. Elle est le lieu de trame d’un évènement tragique qui neutralise l’essentielle possibilité du ‘vivre ensemble’. Cette conception de la communauté comme évènement tragique de la transvaluation, décrit comment le dernier homme à parler c’est-à-dire celui qui possède les mots et l’écriture. Se détache de l’homme commun et ordinaire (le dernier homme nietzschéen). C’est une interprétation nihiliste littéraire qui aboutit sur une hypothèse qui consiste à dire que : La communauté désœuvrée est communauté d’une infinie résurrection de l’écrivain. Ce travail situe de ce fait, un instant de colloque, d’où le langage devient un acte pour la finitude.
NIILISMO À PROVA DOS NOVE: HÁ SENTIDO EM SE FALAR DE “NIILISMO” NO PENSAMENTO INDÍGENA?
Authors: Pitta Maurício Fernando
Published: August 2023

Neste ensaio, busca-se pensar de que forma a questão do niilismo é enfrentada pelo pensamento de povos indígenas das terras baixas da América do Sul: se interpretarmos o niilismo como perda de parâmetros diante da “morte de Deus”, que sentido o problema do niilismo faz para povos que não estipularam um Deus unitário como fundamento axiológico? Para desdobrar essa questão, fez-se uso da obra Ideias para adiar o fim do mundo, de Ailton Krenak, bem como de referenciais antropológicos e filosóficos a respeito de temas como niilismo, sacralidade, alegria, natureza, ciência e técnica. O artigo se desenvolve em quatro partes: em I, faz-se uma breve descrição do que Pelbart denominou “travessia do niilismo”; em II, levanta-se o questionamento central deste ensaio, trazendo à tona o conceito de “sobrenatureza” como principal operador ontológico do pensamento ameríndio; em III, examina-se as diferentes relações com a alteridade “natural” entre o pensamento indígena e o pensamento ocidental; e em IV, por fim, compara-se as metáforas das “conchas coloridas”, de Nietzsche, e dos “paraquedas coloridos”, de Ailton Krenak, em um debate sobre niilismo e Antropoceno, momento em que a noção de “riso”, levantada por P. Clastres a partir de mitos chulupi, orienta a reflexão sobre o papel da “gaia ciência” no pensamento indígena.

Antifungal activity of Eugenia caryophyllata, Cinnamomum sp., Mentha piperita, and Thymus vulgaris essential oils against Aspergillus niger
Authors: ÖZCAN ATEŞ Gülçin
Published: August 2023

Aspergillus species are pollutants found in both food and air. The increase in the metabolic activity of Aspergillus leads to spoilage of foodstuffs and large economic losses. In addition, some Aspergillus species have the ability to produce aflatoxins and ochratoxins, secondary metabolites called, namely, mycotoxins. Especially mycotoxins are very important in terms of food safety and human health. Since the protection of human and animal health and the prevention of economic losses is a very important issue, our study aimed to determine the antifungal activity of Eugenia caryophyllata Thunb., Cinnamomum sp., Mentha piperita L. and Thymus vulgaris L. essential oils (EO) against Aspergillus niger Tiegh. NRRL 321 strain. In the second step, MIC and MFC values of EOs were determined. It was determined that the MIC value of Cinnamomum sp, M. piperita and T. vulgaris EOs was 0.01 µL/mL, and E. caryophyllata EO was 0.5 µL/mL. It was determined that E. caryophyllata, Mentha piperita and Thymus vulgaris EOs completely inhibited radial colony growth at MIC, 2xMIC and 4xMIC values. It was determined that the inhibition of radial growth of Cinnamomum sp. EO varies depending on the concentration, and the inhibition rate increases as the concentration increases. As a result, evaluations should be made considering the in vivo conditions that the tested EOs showed strong antifungal activity against the A. niger strain.

In an effort to reduce operating costs and to increase the quality and efficiency of production, production organizations in the automotive sector are trying to implement the Industry 4.0 concept, which has become a phenomenon of the last two decades. These initiatives have a significant impact on the employees in production organizations, especially in automotive sector. The main aim of the presented study is to expertly assess the importance of general competencies for transforming job positions in the automotive industry in Slovakia. The starting point of the presented study were the results of research focused on emerging positions in the automotive industry and the competencies required by employers in Slovakia. Based on the expert assessment, the hierarchical structure of the solved problem was created and the importance of competencies for analysed job positions was assessed by applying the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) method. The results pointed to the growing importance of non-technical competencies. Analyses have shown that actually the most important work competencies are: basic literacy, professional knowledge, problem solving, digital skills and analytical thinking. The development of the necessary competencies will be important both, from the point of view of employers, but also of employees working in professions that are in decline, become endangered and need to be transformed into the required professions.
Using Data Envelope Analysis for Measurement of Entrepreneurial Network Performance in Manufacturing Firms
Authors: Tomski Piotr
Published: August 2023

The aim of the paper is the analysis of the possibilities of measurement of entrepreneurial network performance in manufacturing firms, using Data Envelope Analysis (DEA) method – a non-parametric approach, allowing for the assessment of the effectiveness of the entrepreneur’s social networks in the context of generating information effects. The research uses data obtained from 30 randomly selected Polish enterprises to explore the levels of entrepreneurial networks and their information effects (as performance indicator). The research limitations are the following: the research is limited exclusively to Polish randomly selected entities, and the results cannot be generalized. The originality/value of this paper consists in the fact that this study constitutes both the contribution to the development of the discipline of management and practical guidelines for managers-entrepreneurs since it should be pinpointed that the recognition of the efficiency of gathering information from social networks can be the basis for the conscious creation of the effectiveness of acquiring information from social networks, and thus the conscious use of social networks in economic activity. The novelty of the results presented consists in filling the gap while conducting the research taking into account the assessment of entrepreneurial networks performance using DEA method.

Long-term results of the research on the influence of weather conditions on the formation of economically biological and technological characteristics of winter rye varieties are valuable for further use in practical breeding, as well as in solving the problem of realizing their biological potential in a wide range of soil and climatic factors.

   The aim of the research was to evaluate the influence of weather conditions on the variability of yield, economically biological characteristics and baking properties of 10 winter rye varieties of different geographical origin for the subsequent creation of varieties adapted to the conditions of Kirov region.

   As a result of eight years of research (2015-2022), the variability of 19 biological and technological characters was analyzed in different weather and climatic conditions (index of environmental conditions from +1.44 to -1.39). The highly stable characteristics were grain nature, ear density and relative ear productivity (CV = 1-8 %). The least stable traits were yield and winter hardiness (CV = 75-89 %). Analysis of variability of characteristics by varieties revealed the most adapted to changes in weather conditions varieties - Rushnik, Falenskaya 4, Flora, Alisa (from 2-3 to 38-42 %). The principal component method with visualization on a biplot chart was used to assess the influence of characteristics on yield formation. It was revealed that the yield was more dependent on the weight of 1000 grains, snow mold damage, winter hardiness, resistance to lodging, length and weight of the ear, number of spikelets and grains in the ear, weight of grain per ear and plant, relative productivity of the ear. These traits determined 65.9 % of yield variability. The second biplot chart allowed to identify the most stable varieties for 8 years of study – Rushnik, Falenskaya 4, Flora and Alisa. It was found that the variety of winter rye Alisa realizes its yield potential both in years with optimal conditions of vegetation and in conditions of excessive moisture, but differs from the varieties Falenskaya 4, Flora and Rushnik in high ear productivity and can be used as a source material for breeding.
