Green Man You Owe Me: Surprises using puppetry with rural children in environmental education
Authors: Preston Carol
Published: February 2024

Wakkerstroom, Mpumalanga, is a rural South African village, set against the backdrop of a wetland, grasslands and rolling hills (Mpumalanga Information Directory, nd). Sadly, children that live here appear to have little concept of the beauty that surrounds them, and do not care for the natural environment. The reasons for this are that they are not exposed to the natural environment other than for available resources, parents are absent due to work commitments or have passed away, and most children here cannot swim, meaning visiting the wetland is dangerous. There are also no parks where they can play. Th eir view of the environment is litter-infested roads and streams, and informal dumps.
This article explores a single moment of clarity during an intervention using a puppet, that occurred during a programme in 2023 which aimed to reintroduce a group of 31 children between the ages of 11 to 15 from The Clay Educentre to the wonders of nature, using the arts, refl ective practice, and immersion into the natural environment. Here I argue that puppetry, in informal environmental education, with reflective practice, has the capacity to be more transformative than other art forms, such as drawing, drama and dance.Keywords: applied arts, reflexivity, stop moment, environmental education

Published: February 2024

Rabies remains a significant public health concern, especially in endemic regions like Africa and Asia, with likely underreported cases.  Primarily transmitted through dog bites, rabies poses a substantial risk in Nigeria, where dogs are the main carriers. This study  investigated rabies awareness and control practices among dog owners in livestock farming communities in Plateau State, Nigeria. This  was done using structured questionnaire interviews with 50 respondents from five Local Government Areas. Data analysis revealed that  78% were aware of rabies, but few recognized its severity. Only 46% knew about rabies vaccination, and merely 16% sought clinical  assistance post-dog bite. Despite relatively high awareness, gaps exist in understanding susceptible hosts, proper management,  prevention, and health-seeking behaviours. Findings underscore the necessity of bolstering awareness and management, including  vaccinations, to encourage effective rabies control measures among vulnerable populations within remote communities and nationwide.

Published: February 2024

Purpose: To investigate the role of nitroquine (CI-679) against artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) C580Y strain.

Methods: Antimalarial activity of CI-679 against blood stages in Plasmodium yoelii (P. yoelii) - infected BALB/c mice model was first  identified. Thereafter, in vitro assays were performed to investigate the inhibitory activity against blood stages of artemisinin-sensitive P.  falciparum 3D7 strain. Finally, the potential effect of CI-679 was also investigated on artemisinin-resistant P. falciparum, which was constructed by introducing C580Y mutation in K13 of the 3D7 using the CRISPR-CAS9 technology.

Results: CI-679 significantly suppressed  the growth of rodent malaria parasite, P. yoelii BY265, in a dose-dependent manner, and also inhibited the development of  the parasites in mice (p < 0.05). Furthermore, CI-679 efficiently inhibited the growth of artemisinin-sensitive P. falciparum 3D7 in vitro, with more sensitivity against late phase of blood stages (p < 0.05). Also, CI-679 suppressed the development of artemisinin-resistant P.  falciparum C580Y strain, and the inhibitory effect was comparable to that of artemisinin-sensitive 3D7 strain.

Conclusion: CI-679 exhibits  potent antimalarial activity against blood stages of P. yoelii BY265 in vivo, and both artemisinin-sensitive P. falciparum 3D7 and  artemisinin-resistant P. falciparum C580Y in vitro. Further pharmacokinetic properties, tolerability and safety of the compound need to be  investigated to support this claim.

Authors: Zhu Guochao , Zhang Jing , Ye Mei , Du Jiao , Liu Chao , Liu Huaping , Li Ruixue , Sun Liang
Published: February 2024

Purpose: To determine the clinical efficacy of combining HA380 hemoperfusion with continuous venovenous hemodialysis filtration  (CVVHDF) in early-stage septic shock.

Methods: Data from 107 patients admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Jianghan University, China from January 2020 to January 2022 were  analyzed. They were divided into control group (53 cases, on conventional treatment + CVVHDF) and study group (54 cases, on  conventional treatment + CVVHDF + HA380 hemoperfusion). Changes in vital signs, renal function, inflammatory markers,  microcirculatory indices and disease severity were compared before and after treatment. Adverse reactions and prognostic indicators  were also recorded.

Results: In both groups, heart rate (HR), respiratory rate, urea nitrogen (BUN), blood creatinine (Scr), calcitoninogen  (PCT), c-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-1, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score (SOFA) and  Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Status Scoring System II (APACHE II) decreased after 7 days of treatment. These improvements were  more significant in study group relative to control group. MAP, MFI and PPV showed an elevation in study group when compared to  control group. Both groups showed no marked difference in the incidence of adverse reactions (7.55 vs. 12.96 %). The study group had  shorter intensive care unit (ICU) stays, duration of mechanical ventilation and total hospital stays in comparison to control group (p  < 0.05).

Conclusion: The combination of HA380 hemoperfusion and CVVHDF effectively improves renal function, controls septic shock,  inhibits the inflammatory response, enhances microcirculation and improves short-term prognosis without significantly increasing  adverse reactions. This treatment modality seems promising for early-stage septic shock pending outcomes of evaluating their long-term efficacy and prognosis.

Published: February 2024

Purpose: To determine the efficacy of different regimens of aflibercept injection in the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 78 DME patients admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University, China from  January 2021 to December 2022. The patients, categorized into control group (39 patients) and study group (39 patients), received varying  regimens of aflibercept injections pro re nata (PRN); 3 + PRN regimen and 5 + PRN regimen, respectively. Best-corrected visual  acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) were measured at baseline, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months following treatment. The  proportions of BCVA improvement by 10 and 15 letters at 12 months and incidence of visual acuity instability during the as-needed period  were calculated. Adverse events were also recorded.

Results: The BCVA significantly improved in both groups at 3, 6, and 12  months (p < 0.05), with no significant difference between the groups (p > 0.05). The proportions of BCVA improvement by 10 and 15  letters at 12 months were similar between the groups. Study group had a significantly lower rate of visual acuity instability during the as- needed period (p < 0.05) compared to control group. The CMT significantly reduced in both groups at all time points (p < 0.05), with no  significant difference observed between the groups. Study group had significantly fewer injections during the as-needed period (p < 0.05)  compared to control group. Adverse events did not significantly differ between the two groups.

Conclusion: Both 3 + PRN and 5 + PRN regimens of Aflibercept injection are effective in treating DME. However, the 5 + PRN regimen demonstrates a lower rate of visual  acuity instability and requires fewer injections during the as-needed period. Future studies are needed to analyze the efficacy and differences between various injection regimens for treating DME.
Global Library and Information Science Research Patterns: A Twenty-Five-Year Reflection
Authors: Elia Emmanuel Frank , Mhando Joseph Andrew
Published: February 2024

This paper reports the findings of a desk review research on global changes in Library and Information Science (LIS) research. Specifically, the review examined articles published in a 25-year (1995-2020) span of LIS research trends using Google database. The variables in the examination were gender, citation patterns, institutional affiliation, and degree of collaboration. To collect data from 43 articles, the study applied a bibliometric method, with the resultant data subjected to content analysis. The study found that male authors published more on the theme of LIS research trends than their female counterparts. Moreover, the results indicate a positive and significant correlation between the duration of a publication and the number of citations. The number of years of publication and open access publishing had a positive but non-statistically significant relationship with citation. Furthermore, the study found authorship collaboration to be moderate at 0.581. There was also a marked shift from traditional to new LIS research areas related to digital technology and its application in libraries. Overall, the trends in LIS research appear attributable to research infrastructure, sufficient funding, access to data, and the researcher’s skills. These findings support enhancing capacity building for LIS researchers to update their skills as part of concerted efforts to enable them to meet global changing needs.

Published: February 2024

Emerging technologies are revolutionizing practically every area of human endeavor. This invention has resulted in a significant shift in the way libraries operate all around the world. Recent library technologies, which varied from library 1.0 to library 5.0, provide evidence of this. It is anticipated that this breakthrough will draw the tech-savvy generation to the library; sadly, in Nigeria, the opposite is evident. Based on this, the study looked at services based on emerging technologies that librarians and information scientists in Nigerian libraries provided. The study's population consisted of 45 attendees from the 2019 IT Section of the Nigerian Library Association Workshop, and it used a survey research design. Out of the 45 copies of the administered questionnaire that were recovered, only 38 were deemed relevant for the investigation. There were two sections to the questionnaire. Section B aimed to gather information on emerging library services offered and obstacles to their implementation, whereas Section A sought to clarify demographic data. The study's conclusions were computed using descriptive statistics. The survey found that practitioners provide a wide range of library services based on developing technology. According to the survey, there is a dearth of services based on emerging technologies, such as cloud computing, gaming, and the Internet of Things. The survey also found that among other difficulties, practitioners deal with erratic electricity and poor internet service provision. It was concluded that practitioners would maximize the use of emerging technologies if sufficient attention was given to the issues impeding their use in the delivery of library services. Recruitment of more personnel and provision of alternative power supplies were among the recommendations made in the study.

Authors: Ferreira Heraldo Simões , Lima George Almeida
Published: February 2024

Este ensaio tem como objetivo refletir sobre as possibilidades de ensino do karatê na escola, considerando a aula de Educação Física Escolar, a atividade extracurricular esportiva e a seleção escolar. Salientamos que essas três possibilidades de ensino possuem dinâmicas específicas. O(a) professor(a) de Educação Física Escolar não deve se preocupar exclusivamente com o ensino dos movimentos específicos do karatê, mas fazer com que os(as) alunos(as) construam conhecimentos e reflexões críticas sobre os elementos políticos, sociais, culturais e econômicos que atravessam o karatê. Nesta etapa, os professores e professoras devem possuir graduação em Educação Física. Na atividade extracurricular esportiva, os(as) professores(as) devem considerar a inserção inicial dos(as) alunos(as) no contexto esportivo, fazendo-se necessário o ensino de fundamentos específicos. Nesse caso, a lei em vigor não lhes cobra a graduação em Educação Física, mas a experiência na prática e ensino do karatê. Na seleção escolar, os(as) professores(as) devem trabalhar, de maneira mais aprofundada, os elementos pautados na competição. Nessa etapa, também não se exige a graduação em Educação Física, mas experiência no ensino do karatê. Embora na atividade extracurricular esportiva e na seleção escolar os(as) professores(as) não precisem de graduação em Educação Física, pois essas modalidades de ensino tratam-se de atividades extracurriculares, defendemos, neste ensaio, que esses(as) professores(as) possuam graduação em Educação Física, uma vez que estão lidando, de maneira direta, com alunos(as) em situações complexas desencadeadas pela competição. Nesse sentido, os(as) professores(as) precisam construir saberes que envolvam aspectos psicológicos, fisiológicos, culturais e sociais, a fim de potencializar o desenvolvimento desses(as) alunos(as).

Published: February 2024

Desde enero de 2020 vivimos tiempos de incertidumbre y volatilidad. En este estudio vamos a analizar el comportamiento de las criptodivisas en tiempos de volatilidad, y si este puede ser propio de un activo refugio. Para medir la volatilidad usamos el VIX y estimamos modelos de regresión lineal entre ambas variables. Los resultados alcanzados, que utilizan las cinco criptomonedas no estables más importantes, muestran que las tres principales (BTC, ETH y BNB) sí tienen una relación significativa con la volatilidad, pero no actúan como activo refugio, ya que presentan signo negativo en tiempos de incertidumbre. Las otras dos criptodivisas estudiadas (XRP y ADA) no presentan relación de forma significativa. Teniendo en cuenta que ya no podemos utilizar las criptodivisas como valor refugio, algo acreditado en la literatura económica en diversos artículos, analizamos en qué momento se produjo ese cambio estructural, para lo que analizamos la correlación entre el índice bursátil S&P500 (SPX) y el BTC. Utilizando el test de Chow encontramos que en el año 2020 hay un cambio estructural. No había correlación significativa entre ambas variables antes de 2020, para observarse, a partir del citado año, una correlación positiva y significativa en un intervalo de confianza del 99%. El estudio de otras criptodivisas, incluidas las de menor tamaño que las analizadas, podría ayudar a entender los posibles determinantes del comportamiento de estas y se podría realizar una comparativa entre la conducta de las criptomonedas de mayor tamaño y las de un tamaño menor.
Exploring the Factors that Influence Pivoting in Student Startups: A Case Study of Entrepreneurship Student of SBM ITB Analysis
Authors: Ariella Esther
Published: February 2024

According to recent news sources and journals, the growth of start-ups in today's world is on the rise. The pandemic has played a significant role in this growth, with many people starting their own businesses after being laid off from their jobs (Casselman, 2021). In 2023, experts predict that there will be increased investment in social media, user-generated content, and entertainment for small businesses (Halperin, 2023). Alternative funding sources are also becoming more common for small businesses as interest rates rise (Halperin, 2023). The design acts as the research project's "blueprint," connecting the design, data collecting, and analytic activities to the research questions and guaranteeing that the entire study agenda will be covered. Based on the tentative coding analysis that has been done above to answer the question "what encourages you to pivot?", that have been analyzed into selective coding, it can be seen that their reason is because their own ability to build a business is still not that enhanced. This conclusion could be argued because there are severals variable that are supporting the conclusion. For example the informant said that the lack of proper planning, difficult process to execute, and the customer is not interested in the idea offered are the reason that prompting the pivoting phenomenon. Based on the results of the research conducted, it can be seen that as many as 17 out of 20 student startups in the SBM ITB entrepreneurship department experienced pivoting. The majority of these student startups experience pivoting in their business model and business ideas, where the pivoting they experience is included in the types of pivoting discussed in the previous chapter such as technology, customer need, customer segment, channel, complete, and side project types.

Implementation of Criminal Sanctions Policy in Efforts to Prevent and Handle the Crime of Human Trafficking (TPPO) Based on the Theory of Justice
Authors: Sinaga Hasudungan
Published: February 2024

The crime of trafficking in persons is considered a new crime in the legal system in Indonesia even though the act of trafficking in persons has been occurring in Indonesia for a long time. This research uses empirical juridical legal research methods, namely legal research regarding the enactment or implementation of normative legal provisions in action at each specific legal event that occurs in society. This research aims to determine criminal sanctions to prevent criminal acts of human trafficking (TTPO), current efforts to prevent and handle criminal acts of human trafficking (TTPO) as well as the implementation of criminal sanctions policies in efforts to prevent criminal acts of human trafficking (TTPO). The results of this research state that Law Number 21 of 2007 concerning the Crime of Human Trafficking is the legal umbrella in this case. In this case, it is known that the formulation of the criminal sanction policy for the crime of trafficking in persons which will be included in the National Criminal Code Bill must be much better than the formulation of the crime of trafficking in persons in positive law. The application of criminal sanctions in efforts to prevent criminal acts of human trafficking (TTPO) is based on the theory of justice stated thar justice can change but the essence of justice always exists in human life and social life.

Socio-Political and Psychological Factors of Ulil Amri in Determining The Beginning of The Hijri Month
Authors: Azis Abdul
Published: February 2024

The several approaches used in Indonesia to determine the start of the Islamic month are not the only factor; Ulil Amri, the person in charge, is also an aspect to consider. The study of this is necessary since Ulil Amri is typically thought of as the head of state or the administration. Ulil Amri's commands are deemed to have been disintegrated when something differs from a result of the government's judgment. This article attempts to examine the history of the notion of Ulil Amri as it emerged from various Muslim groups and organizations in Indonesia. Literature reviews were used to gather data about the concept of Ulil Amri as it was perceived by classical academics as well as as it was understood by various Muslim groups and organizations in Indonesia. This study demonstrates that the idea of Ulil Amri, which Muslims in Indonesia claim as their own, originates from ancient fiqh literature that makes reference to the ulama and the government (hukkam). These two ideas are also discussed in relation to the type of Ulil Amri that Muslims in Indonesia own. Other versions, such as Murshid Tariqah (Sufi Master) and the Jamaat chief, are the outgrowth of both thoughts, nevertheless. The social, religious, and political contexts of Indonesia contributed to the development of the Ulil Amri type variety. In addition, the similarity of the methods and criteria used by the Muslim community, with those used by the government, also influenced the difference in the concept of Ulil Amri.

Comparison of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) in Muara Bengawan Solo Gresik River Using Satellite Image Data. The estuary of the Bengawan Solo River, which is in Ujung Pangkah District, has undergone many changes every year. This is influenced by several factors, one of which is the process of settling (sedimentation) from the transport of material carried by river water along the watershed (DAS). Based on this background, efforts are needed to monitor the distribution of Total Suspended Solid (TSS) in the Bengawan Solo Gresik river estuary. The aim of this study is to determine the distribution of Total Suspended Solid (TSS) over 5 years to find the right formula to model the impact of this change, which can be addressed in the future. The method developed below is remote sensing technology with Landsat 8 satellite image data extracting digital number values that are converted into reflectance values to then find the optimal mathematical model algorithm with parameters from Total Suspended Solid (TSS). From the research that has been done, the following results are obtained: the red band reflectance has the best relationship value with TSS In Situ with an R square value of 0.0450. and the appropriate algorithm model for estimating TSS concentrations is the Linear model with the equation Y = 1311.3x + 447.93.

Corn is one of the most important food crops in the world. Corn has a high nutritional content, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Corn can also be processed into various food and beverage products. Corn production in Indonesia currently still does not meet national needs, one of the factors that causes this is the low productivity of corn. Various efforts have been made to increase corn productivity, one of which is by using fertilizers. The purpose of this study was to examine the response of corn growth and production with a combination of microbial consortium, NPK, and ortho salicylic acid. This study used experimental research methods. Data collection techniques in this study were carried out by literature study and observation. The data that has been collected is analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the consortium combination of 1 dose of 5 ml + NPK 15 gr + leaf fertilizer 3 ml was significantly different to increase the best growth in leaf area, total plant weight, corn weight, fruit diameter (base and middle). Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the consortium combination of 1 dose of 5 ml + NPK 15 gr + Foliar fertilizer 3 ml can increase corn growth and production.

Published: February 2024

Non-participative students in classes have a detrimental effect on the social learning environment. Low student participation is a common problem. This classroom-based action research aims to increase students' active participation in Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) classes. The researcher used a quantitative-descriptive approach in gathering data. Descriptive analysis is employed to interpret the quantitative data utilizing frequency, mean, percentage, and standard deviation to conclude. To increase classroom participation, the researcher integrated a "Pointing System" intervention strategy as an extrinsic motivation. A paper-pencil test examination was used as pre-test to gather pre-data while conducting this action research. The researcher collected post-data using another set of paper-pencil test as post-test after a month of intervention. Pre- and post-data are used in the descriptive analysis to conclude its association with class participation. The data revealed that there are 42 out of 60 students who have undergone the intervention. Students who passed the pre-test took part in the intervention without using the strategy applied. The post-intervention statistics showed significantly more active participants—51 in total—than before the intervention. The "Pointing System" would encourage the students to engage in more active learning throughout the teaching and learning session. The researcher concluded that students actively participate in class and perform well academically if "Pointing System" is integrated as one of the external sources of incentive.

This study investigated the impact of assessment methods used in internal evaluation on students’ achievement in English grammar in secondary schools in Kenya. This study was anchored on Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory. A pragmatic paradigm was adopted using exploratory sequential mixed methods. A quasi-experimental, pre-test, and post-test design was adopted. The target population comprised of all the form two students and teachers of English in Teso North Sub-County. Stratified and simple random sampling was used to select 10 schools. Simple random sampling was used to select 509 students. Purposive and simple random were used to select 10 teachers. Data was generated using an interview schedule, observation schedule, questionnaire, and English Grammar Achievement Tests. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Qualitative data was analyzed using the narrative analysis technique and presented through narration and direct quotes. Findings revealed that grammar was predominantly assessed through gap-filling as well as question and answer method. Assessing grammar through cloze test and composition writing had a more positive influence (M = 16.02; SD = 3.51) than where it was not used (M = 14.12; SD = 3.33). Pearson Correlation revealed that assessment had a statistically significant relationship of r = .643, n = 509, p = .006 with students’ achievement in English grammar. The study concluded that cloze tests and composition writing are effective methods of assessing English grammar. It was recommended that the Ministry of Education should in-service teachers on the importance of assessing English grammar through these methods. This study recommends that teachers should assess English grammar using cloze tests and composition writing.

Authors:   PAULA ALMEIDA DE CASTRO,   ALLAN DE CARVALHO RODRIGUES
Published: February 2024

"O ebook é fruto do evento X CONGRESSO NACIONAL DE EDUCAÇÃO Contrastes, diversidade, inclusão: a educação no próximo decênio e pretende provocar interlocuções e interrogações no campo do currículo e da didática, trazendo textos que nos permitam deslocamentos de compreensões, ampliação de sentidos e outros-novos diálogos nos campos das pesquisas em currículo e didática. Esta obra investe na articulação das pesquisas entre esses campos, entendendo essa articulação e a própria ideia das pesquisas como forças mobilizadoras para pensar processos, práticas e temáticas com as pesquisas nesses campos. Outra aposta que defendemos neste ebook diz respeito às escolhas políticas e epistemológicas implicadas nos diálogos com as escolas e na perspectiva das interlocuções escolas-universidades como instrumento potencial para pensar novas práticas de investigação na educação. Nesse sentido, o ebook é composto por uma rede multidisciplinar, pois diversos textos possuem diferentes percepções acerca do campo do Currículo e da Didática, a saber, pela área do conhecimento: Educação, História, Psicologia, Geografia, Antropologia, Filosofia, Literatura, Ciências Biológicas e Direito, além dos temas transversais: Gênero, Raça, Sexualidade, Direitos Humanos, Formação de professores, Currículos, Educação Infantil, Direito à vida e tantos outros temas que permitem uma aprofundamento nos campos já mencionados. A ideia presente nesse Ebook é reunir distintas vozes, experiências múltiplas e acontecimentos vários; pesquisas e práticas pedagógicas desenvolvidas em diferentes estados e regiões do Brasil, do Norte ao Sul, do Centro-Oeste ao Nordeste e fora do Brasil. Diferentes contextos, diversos sujeitos, uma aposta: uma educação dialógica no intuito de afirmativa das diferenças e das multiplicidades que se expressam através de singularidades no campo do Currículo e da Didática. Esperando que nossos leitores possam perceber, nos diferentes textos e escritas, o potencial da articulação escolas-universidades que identificamos e defendemos em nossos trabalhos. Desejo uma boa leitura!"
