The writingsofthe Quran has begun since the time of the Prophet (PBUH) and it has continued until today. It has been proved that there are manuscripts of the Quran around the world that are handwritten.The Quran manuscripts of the great works are so meticulous and scattered around the world. The writing activity or the so-called copying is carried out on the basis ofhonor to the Qalam Allah. Thus, the preliminary study is conducted on a Turkish Quran manuscript, a collection of Yayasan Warisan Johor (YWJ), Johor Bahru. However, there is no computerized system for saving the manuscript proper manner and secured electronically as well as may be referred and retrieved in the future. The purpose of this study is to find out the method of writing al-Quran based on the focus on knowledge of rasm, marking (dabt al-Quran), fawasil, forms of illumination and calligraphy and saved in Database Management System (DBMS) properly with authentication. In addition, it is intended to highlight YWJ’s contribution in preserving the manuscripts of the Quran in the state of Johor. This study isa qualitative method using content analysis approach. The findings show that the Turkish manuscripts contain very beautiful local features and further studies should be conducted specifically on the perspectives of the Quran.

Published: November 2023

In academic contexts, effective self-control strategies are essential for students to persist in their studies and avoid succumbing to distractions and temptations. This study aimed to develop and validate a self-control strategy scale for college students in academic situations. A self-report survey questionnaire was developed based on previous studies, consisting of 10 self-control strategies used in academic contexts: situation selection and modification, punishment, reward, precommitment, distraction, cognitive change, acceptance, physiological arousal, behavioral inhibition, and studying after temporary desire satisfaction. After review by experts, the survey was administered to 639 undergraduate students in Korea. To conduct cross-validation, the survey response data was split into halves; exploratory factor analysis was performed on one half of the data (n = 311). Confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis, and criterion validity analysis were conducted on the other half of the data (n = 328). Based on the results of exploratory factor analysis, a final set of 30 items (three items per factor) was selected for the scale. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the goodness-of-fit of the final scale model, and the reliability of the factors was consistently high. Analysis of the correlations with criterion variables showed that higher utilization of self-control strategies in academic situations was associated with higher levels of trait self-control and academic self-regulation, and with lower levels of self-control failure. On the other hand, the studying after temporary desire satisfaction strategy and the acceptance strategy showed contrasting relations with other strategies. The relation between the reward strategy and self-control failure was not significant. This newly developed scale is expected to be helpful in identifying the types of self-control strategies that college students use in academic contexts and in developing effective interventions to overcome temptations.
Exploring Key Variables Related to Adolescent’ Academic Engagement using Explainable Artificial Intelligence
Authors:   Korean Educational Research Association, Han Junga
Published: November 2023

Recently, the importance of academic engagement, an important key to overcoming under-achievement and academic-related stress, has been highlighted. The purpose of this study was to explore key variables related to adolescents’ academic engagement. For this purpose, data from the 1st year (7th graders) and 4th year (10th graders) of the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey 2018 were used. A comparison was made of the predictive performance of random forest, gradient boosting, and XGBoost to select the best machine learning technique for predicting academic engagement. Additionally, the SHAP index, which is an explainable artificial intelligence technique, was used to identify the relationship between key variables and academic engagement. The main research results are as follows. It was found that gradient boosting had the best prediction performance among the three machine learning techniques compared. The key variables commonly derived from middle and high schools are self-study time (weekends, weekdays), grade level for all subjects the previous semester, life satisfaction, grit, creative personality (cleverness), and teacher-student relationship, which had a positive relationship with academic engagement. However, academic helplessness (lack of learning motivation, lack of positive emotions) was found to have a negative relationship with academic engagement. The commonly derived key variables were in the areas of daily living time, intellectual development, social/emotional, and school. In addition, major variables were derived in the activity area for middle school and in physical development, media, career, and family areas for high school. Based on these results, educational implications regarding adolescents’ academic engagement are discussed.

Published: November 2023

Objective — to determine the frequency of clinical manifestations and comorbidities in patients with Helicobacter pylori‑associated chronic gastritis, depending on the presence of H. pylori cytotoxin‑associated gene A and vacuolating cytotoxin A status.
Materials and methods. This cross‑sectional study included 84 patients aged over 18 years with H. pylori‑associated chronic gastritis (CG). Patients were divided into two groups: 50 patients with the cytotoxin‑associated gene A (CagA) and vacuolating cytotoxin A (VacA) H. pylori strains and 34 patients with CagA‑ and VacA‑ H. pylori strains. H. pylori virulent strains (CagA+, VacA+) were detected using the polymerase chain reaction method. Solid‑phase enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to detect immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG) against the CagA and VacA antigens of H. pylori. Analysis of medical records was conducted to assess clinical manifestations and the presence of comorbidities. Comorbid conditions were diagnosed using electrocardiography, abdominal ultrasound, and when necessary, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, as well as videocolonoscopy. Statistical analysis was performed using the Stata 11 and Statistica 6 statistical software packages.
Results. Patients with CagA+ and VacA+ H. pylori strains were more likely to have epigastric pain (60% vs. 35.3%, p=0.026) and constipation (52% vs. 20.6%, p=0.004) than patients with CagA‑ and VacA‑ H. pylori strains. Among the associated comorbid conditions in patients with H. pylori‑associated CG, the following were identified: gastroesophageal reflux disease — 33.3%, irritable bowel syndrome — 35.7%, non‑alcoholic fatty liver disease — 23.8%, autoimmune thyroiditis — 9.5%, arterial hypertension — 10.7%, and ischemic heart disease — 10.7%. The irritable bowel syndrome was significantly more prevalent in patients with CagA+ and VacA+ H. pylori strains, compared to those without CagA and VacA strains (46% vs. 20.6%, p=0.017). Other comorbid conditions occurred at similar frequencies among patients in both groups (p <0.05).
Conclusions. Our study established that H. pylori virulent strains (CagA+, VacA+) could influence the clinical manifestations and associated conditions in patients with CG. Epigastric pain and constipation were more frequently observed in patients with H. pylori virulent strains (CagA+, VacA+), while the occurrence of irritable bowel syndrome was more pronounced among the associated conditions. The presence of H. pylori infection with CagA+ and VacA+ strains may be a risk factor for the development of irritable bowel syndrome. Eradication therapy could be considered as a preventive method for this comorbidity, but further research is needed to confirm this hypothesis.
Methodological problems of studying the enclave transboundary ethnic groups of the Turkic peoples of the Volga-Urals
Authors: Ivanova Tatyana , Mineeva Elena , Mineev Aleksey
Published: November 2023

The article deals with the methodological problems of studying enclave transboundary groups of Bashkirs, Tatars and Chuvashs. Despite the established tradition to call all ethnic groups living outside their country of origin a diaspora, we believe that this term is not applicable to certain ethnic groups of the peoples in question. More precisely, in our opinion, the theory of enclaves reflects the current situation of these groups. The experience of studying these ethnic enclave groups can be applied in studying the formation of Russian identity.

A Comprehensive Model for Predicting Populist Attitudes
Authors: Piterová Ivana , Loziak Alexander
Published: November 2023

Populist attitudes are multi-causal, but their determinants are often studied separately, in small groups, or in different samples. This study presents a comprehensive model for the prediction of populist attitudes using a single sample. We use an ideological approach and measure of populist attitudes as anti-elitism, popular sovereignty, and homogeneity, while the differences between the elite and the people are Manichean. Analyzing a sample based on a representative quota for gender, age, education and region of Slovakia (N = 254), it was found that relative deprivation, belief in simple solutions, external political efficacy, trust towards experts, and conspiracy mentality were significant predictors of populist attitudes after controlling for other variables. The effect of education and subjective income faded out after adding variables into the model. The model explained 54% of the variance in populist attitudes. The results are discussed in detail with respect to its limitations and country specifics.

Data for Critical Infrastructure Network Modelling of Natural Hazard Impacts: Needs and Influence on Model Characteristics
Authors: Schotten Roman , Mühlhofer Evelyn , Chatzistefanou Georgios Alexandros , Bachmann Daniel , Chen Albert , Koks Elco
Published: November 2023

Natural hazards impact the interdependent infrastructure networks that keep modern society functional. While a variety of critical infrastructure network (CIN) modelling approaches are available to represent CI networks on different scales and analyse the impacts of natural hazards, a recurring challenge for all modelling approaches is the availability and accessibility of sufficiently high-quality input and validation data. The resulting data gaps often require modellers to make assumptions for specific technical parameters, functional relationships, and system behaviours. In other cases, expert knowledge from one sector is extrapolated to other sectoral structures or even cross-sectorally applied to fill data gaps. The uncertainties that these assumptions and extrapolations introduce and their influence on the quality of the modelling outcomes are often poorly understood and are difficult to capture. Additionally, the ways of overcoming the data availability challenges in CIN modelling, with respect to each modelling purpose, remain an open question. To address this challenge, a generic modelling workflow is devised featuring six modelling stages commonly encountered in CIN models. The data requirements of each stage are systematically defined, and literature on potential sources is reviewed to enhance data collection and raise awareness of the issue. The workflow represents model generation and validation as well as natural hazard impact assessment, recovery, and mitigation. The application of the proposed workflow and the assessment of data availability challenges are showcased in three case studies, taking into account their different modelling purposes. From this, a generalised reflection on the relation between data availability, model purposes, model performance, and aptness of the approach is derived. Finally, a discussion on overcoming the challenges of data scarcity, including the use of participatory methods, anonymised data-sharing platforms for CI operators, and event-based impact datasets, is presented.
Two persistent myths about Binet and the beginnings of intelligence tests in psychology textbooks
Authors: Brysbaert Marc , Nicolas Serge
Published: November 2023

Alfred Binet is widely recognized as the father of the intelligence test, but many textbooks on psychology and intelligence testing contain inaccuracies about his work. This article corrects two common errors. First, the French government did not ask Binet to develop the test. Binet was part of a group of people trying to prevent special education from becoming part of psychiatric institutions and thus became motivated to develop an objective measure of intelligence. Secondly, Binet did not develop the test alone. He worked closely with Théodore Simon. We also look at the best reference for the first intelligence test and propose the Binet and Simon 1908 article. Hopefully, this article will help put an end to the spread of inaccuracies about the intelligence test.
From Tripping and Falling to Ruminating and Worrying: A Meta-Control Account of Repetitive Negative Thinking
Authors: Hitchcock Peter , Frank Michael
Published: November 2023

Repetitive negative thinking (RNT) is a transdiagnostic construct that encompasses rumination and worry, yet what precisely is shared between rumination and worry is unclear. To clarify this, we develop a meta-control account of RNT. Meta-control refers to the reinforcement and control of mental behavior via similar computations as reinforce and control motor behavior. We propose rumination and worry are coarse terms for failure in meta-control, just as tripping and falling are coarse terms for failure in motor control. We delineate four meta-control stages and risk factors increasing the chance of failure at each, including open-ended thoughts (stage 1), individual differences influencing subgoal execution (stage 2) and switching (stage 3), and challenges inherent to learning adaptive mental behavior (stage 4). Distinguishing these stages therefore elucidates diverse processes that lead to the same behavior of excessive RNT. Our account also subsumes prominent clinical accounts of RNT into a computational cognitive neuroscience framework.
Vocabulary Learning Strategies Used by Class Ten Students
Authors: Tiwari Hari Prasad
Published: November 2023

Learning vocabulary is a key component of communication and comprehension. Students need to use effective Vocabulary Learning Strategies (VLS) to learn and retain new words and expand their word knowledge. This quantitative study used a descriptive survey research design to find out the VLS of class ten students. The participants consisted of 30 class ten students who were sampled using stratified sampling method. The data was collected employing structured questionnaire which included 30 rating scale questions. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and frequency counts to identify the most and least used strategies. The findings revealed that the students used a range of strategies, but some were more dominant than others. One of the most common cognitive strategies was guessing the meaning of unknown words from context, indicating that the students relied on their prior knowledge and reading skills. Similarly, one of the most popular social strategies was asking for clarification from teachers or peers, suggesting that the students valued the role of interaction and feedback in vocabulary learning. These results demonstrated that the students were flexible and resourceful in their strategy use and could adapt to different vocabulary learning tasks and goals. The study has some limitations, such as the limited sample size and the potential inaccuracies in self-reported data. Therefore, further research with larger and more representative samples is recommended. Despite these limitations, this study contributed to the understanding of VLS among class ten students in Nepal and offered implications for vocabulary teaching and learning.

A STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF SAUNA ON THE OXYGEN TRANSPORT FUNCTION OF YOUNG ATHLETES ENGAGED IN HANDBALL SPORT
Authors: Hokuma Mammadova Eyvaz  , Tarlan Mammadova Nasir
Published: November 2023

The effect of sauna on blood oxygen transport function, lipid peroxidation, prooxidant-antioxidant balance in athletes aged 17-21 engaged in handball sport was studied in the article. Persons involved in the hot air sauna were exposed once a week (20 procedures) for a period of four months. The sauna procedure (at 85-90°C, 10-15% humidity) consisted of two parts: 5 and 10 minutes. In young handball athletes, after taking a dry air bath, an increase in pO2, which is the development of respiratory alkolosis, and a decrease in the combination of hemoglobin and oxygen in venous blood increased the amount of oxygen transported to tissues. After a one-time exposure to the sauna, the development of oxidative stess accelerated (intensification of free radical processes, weakening of antioxidant defenses), and at the end of the course it began to decline. The observed increase in the formation of nitric oxide can play an important role in the modification of oxygen-dependent processes in the body.

The question of the existence of a solution of linear integro-differential systems of parabolic type limited on the semiaxis in a spatial variable and multiperiodic in time variables was considered. Sufficient conditions of multiperiodic oscillations in time variables in a linear homogeneous equation with a boundary condition and in a linear inhomogeneous equation were established. A linear homogeneous and inhomogeneous finitehereditarity integro-differential equation of convective-diffusion type were investigated.

The paper considers the problems that arise when using the theory of fuzzy sets to solve applied problems. Unlike stochastic methods, which are based on statistical data, fuzzy set theory methods make sense to apply when statistical data are not available. In these cases, algorithms should be based on membership functions formed by experts who are specialists in this field of knowledge. Ideally, complete information about membership functions is required, but this is an impractical procedure. More often than not, even the most experienced expert can determine only their carriers or separate sets of the α -cuts for unknown fuzzy parameters of the system. Building complete membership functions of unknown fuzzy parameters on this basis is risky and unreliable. Therefore, the paper proposes an extension of the fuzzy sets theory axiomatics in order to introduce non-traditional (less demanding on the completeness of data on membership functions) extension principles and operations on fuzzy sets. The so-called α -weak operations on fuzzy sets are proposed, which are based on the use of separate sets of the α -cuts. It is also shown that all classical theorems of Cantor sets theory apply in the extended axiomatic theory. New extension principles of generalization have been introduced, which allow solving problems in conditions of significant uncertainty of information.

The study sought to investigate the central tendency effect among raters in complex problem-solving skills in physics essay items using Many-Facet Rasch Measurement. This became necessary because the central tendency effect can affect students' scores.
The research design adopted for this study is a descriptive research design based on the survey method. The population of the study comprised eighty-eight (88) public schools in all the local government areas with a physics student population of 3642 students and ninety-four (94) physics teachers in all the Senior Secondary Schools in Uyo Senatorial District for the 2022/2023 academic session. 364 SS3 physics students and 37 physics teachers from the 31 selected secondary schools in Uyo Senatorial District were sampled using a multistage sampling technique for effective selection. The multi-stage sampling technique was adopted for the study. The instrument used for data collection was the Physics Achievement Test (PAT) obtained from WAEC and NECO 2020 Physics Essay items. However, the reliability coefficient of 0.91 and 0.90 respectively. The finding revealed that there was no central tendency effect error committed by individual raters when rating complex problem-solving skills in WAEC and NECO 2020 physics Essay Items. Also, reveals there is a significant difference at the rater's group level exhibiting central tendency effect when rating complex problem-solving skills between WAEC and NECO 2020 physics Essay Items which implies that there is no group-level central tendency effect present among raters when rating complex problem-solving skills between WAEC and NECO 2020 physics Essay Items.  The researchers concluded that rater effects are sources of variance in performance ratings that are associated with the rater's behaviour and not the actual performance of the ratee. It was recommended that to prevent the central tendency effect, it is important for superior raters to regularly observe their subordinates throughout the evaluation period and keep notes for future reference.

The purpose of this study is to examine and quantify the impact of the Tri Hita Karana culture as a moderating variable on individual taxpayer compliance with the tax information system. In order to analyze secondary data, this research uses documentation and primary data obtained from the distribution of questionnaires to individual taxpayers who are enrolled at the Kantor Pelayanan Pajak Pratama Tabanan in order to get an Annual Notification Letter. Simple random sampling is used to determine the research sample using the probability sampling approach, yielding a sample of 100 distinct taxpayers. Using SmartPLS 3.3.9, the Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach is used in statistical testing to evaluate the hypothesis. The study's findings demonstrate that both the tax information system and Tri Hita Karana culture have a strong and positive impact on individual taxpayer compliance. This means that the more cultural values that guide the lives of individual taxpayers are embedded, the tendency is to increase taxpayer compliance. Additionally, Tri Hita Karana culture can act as a moderator by lessening the correlation between the two variables. Individual taxpayers do not realize that cultural values perceive important things in the use of a system, which can weaken the use of the system.

This study aims to measure the performance of Laporan Kinerja Instansi Pemerintah (LKjIP) with the concept of value for money at the Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) of Bali Province. Performance measurement in the public sector is important to determine accountability and can improve the quality of public services. Government agencies that have carried out performance measurement need to report it in the form of LKjIP. To ensure that the performance achievements in LKjIP are correct, it is necessary to re-measure performance using the concept of value for money. Value for money is useful for checking whether the performance of the Bali Province Bappeda LKjIP in 2021 and 2022 has fulfilled the principles of economically, efficiently, and effectively. This research uses a qualitative method. Data collection was carried out by unstructured interviews and documentation in the form of LKjIP in 2021 and 2022. The analysis technique used is descriptive analysis technique by conducting a process of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the performance of the Bappeda Bali Province LKjIP in 2021 and 2022 in terms of economy was categorized as economical, in terms of efficiency it was categorized as efficient, and in terms of effectiveness it was categorized as effective. This research is expected to provide a consideration for the government to pay more attention to performance in terms of economy, efficiency, and effectiveness. This is intended in achieving LKjIP performance not only in terms of the main performance indicators.

BACKGROUND: Some research suggests that post-stroke aphasia can recover “on its own”, however, there is evidence of a common neural substrate for motor and language systems. We hypothesize, that motor neurorehabilitation of hemiparesis could be related to simultaneous improvement in aphasia. OBJECTIVE: To measure changes in post-stroke aphasia and its relation with hemiparesis treated with different therapies. METHODS: Database information (n = 32) on post-stroke hemiparesis (Fugl-Meyer Scale evaluated) managed with virtual reality (VR) versus modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT) or regular therapy (rPT/OT) was analyzed. None received logotherapy (LT) by appointment at four months. Inclusion criteria: < 3 months after the stroke, aphasia severe (Boston Aphasia Intensity Scale), and all three evaluations. RESULTS: Twenty-one patient records met inclusion criteria (71,4% women and mean age 66,67±3,13 years) who received VR, mCIMT, or rPT/OT (n = 6, 8, and 7, respectively). There was continuous intra-groups improvement in aphasia (p < 0.05), but inter-groups the greater aphasia recovery (p = 0.05) and hemiparesis (p = 0.02) were in VR, with a high correlation in evolution between them (r = 0.73; p = 0.047). CONCLUSION: High clinical correlation between aphasia, without LT, and hemiparesis evolution during motor neurorehabilitation would support common neural connections stimulation. We will conduct a clinical trial, with a larger sample size to contrast our hypothesis.
