Authors: Ocheoibo S. J. , Atuanya E. I.
Published: April 2024

The objective of this paper was to evaluate the microbial load and physicochemical characteristics of soils in electronic waste dumpsites of Oluku and Osasogie in Benin, Edo State and Alaba in Lagos State Nigeria using appropriate standard procedures. Data obtained show that the total bacterial count was not significantly different across the sites, the mean bacterial counts on Nutrient agar (NA) ranges between 9.00±2.646 cfu/g and 5.33±1.202 cfu/g, the former is for Oluku while the latter is for Osasogie respectively and are not significantly different across the four locations while the fungal counts showed a significant difference. The highest fungal count recorded in the control site (10.67±1.764 cfu/g) and the lowest count (3.33 ±0.882 cfu/g) was recorded at Alaba. Bacterial and fungal species isolated includes, Bacillus sp., Clostridium sp., Pseudomonas sp., Yersinia sp. , Serratia marcescens, Klebsiella sp., Providencia sp, Aspergillus sp., Geotrichum sp., Rhizopus sp., and Penicillium sp. respectively, Most of these isolated organisms are those microorganisms known to possess the capacity to biodegrade e-waste. The mean available phosphorous (19.04±0.147) and total nitrogen (6.263±0.049) shows a significant difference in the control soil compared to the three e-waste soil samples. These significant difference in available phosphorus and nitrogen between the control and the three e-waste soil samples shows that, e-waste negatively affects soil fertility, as phosphorous and nitrogen are the major elements that determine soil fertility.

Evaluating Barriers in the Business Ecosystem of European MaaS Providers: An Actor Network Approach.
Authors:   , Gebhart Julian
Published: April 2024

As new Mobility as a Service (MaaS) platforms are being established in Europe, researchers and practitioners are looking for evidence of the barriers that the MaaS providers are experiencing in their evolving business ecosystem. By constructing an actor network, this thesis conceptualises the MaaS business ecosystem using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) combined with Actor Network Theory (ANT). This actor network and the identified MaaS business ecosystem barriers are then used for Multiple Case Study Research, interviewing 18 European MaaS experts. First, the within-case analysis reveals how MaaS providers problematise, interest, enrol and mobilise their business ecosystem. Then, the cross-case analysis evaluates the findings of the actor networks by outlining and amending key barriers in the areas of (1) technology and data, (2) social and cultural, and (3) policy and regulation. The key patterns of barriers are then used to discuss nine observations that emerged from the field. These findings are then synthesised to derive success factors that help overcome the barriers. All findings are summarised in the final Cases, Actor Networks, Barriers, and Success Factors (CABS) framework. This CABS framework supports researchers and practitioners in formulating policies, leveraging best practices, or conducting further research on the development of MaaS.
Misi Oikumenis: Mendialogkan Kearifan Lokal Ma’bua Kalebu dengan Yohanes 17: 21 dalam Relasi antar Denominasi Gereja di Seko Lemo
Authors: Agasta Ferialdi , Ardano Lucky , Wingki Wingki , Panandu Filadelvia
Published: April 2024

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk membangun oikumenisme berdasarkan kearifan lokal. Karena beragamnya ajaran dogmatika gereja saat ini tidak mengherankan bila perbedaan-perbedaan tersebut memicu ketidakharmoniasan hubungan antara denominasi gereja dan cenderung saling mencela antara gereja yang satu dengan yang lainnya. Dengan melihat situasi tersebut maka persoalan tersebut tidak lagi menampakan harapan Yesus dalam Yohanes 17:21 agar semua muridnya menjadi satu sama seperti diriNya dan Bapa adalah satu. Berbeda dengan situasi tersebut rupanya hubungan antar denominasi di Seko Lemo sangatlah harmonis. Penulisan artikel ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode etnografi dan pustaka, dengan melakukan observasi dan wawancara. Dari kajian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa kearifan lokal ma’bua kalebu turut andil dalam menciptakan integrasi yang harmonis antar denominasi di Seko Lemo. Hal ini karena hakikat dasar ma’bua kalebu pada masyarakat Seko Lemo ialah sebagai penunjang keharmonisan dalam masyarakat, menjaga agar masyarakat tetap mematuhi norma-norma yang berlaku, dan media resolusi bila terjadi permasalahan di masyarakat. Kearifan lokal ini memiliki pengaruh yang kuat terhadap perilaku masyarakat, keluarga, maupun dalam kehidupan keagamaan. Oleh karena itu, dengan semangat integritas masyarakat yang dijiwai oleh kearifan lokal ma’bua kalebu maka dapat diupayakan suatu gerakkan oikumene lokal yang membuat setiap denominasi gereja di Seko Lemo dapat bersatu sesuai dengan harapan Tuhan Yesus Kristus.
A Study on the Educational Performance Analysis of a Competency-Based Liberal Arts Classical Literature Class
Authors: Kim Hyekyung , Bae Sung Ah
Published: April 2024

This study aims to diagnose and analyze the effects of competency-based liberal arts British-American classical literature classes through learners’ competency achievement and its relationship to class satisfaction. This study also suggests a direction for integrated achievement of competency through classical education. To this end, pre- and post- competency diagnostic tests and a satisfaction questionnaire was collected from 78 students in this elective liberal arts classical literature class at H University. Independent samples t-tests, correlation analyses, and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted. As a result, first, the learners' communication skills, creativity, and problem-solving efficacy were improved. Second, learners were highly satisfied with developing interaction and collaboration skills among team members, and with improving their debate and discussion skills, suggesting that team-based instruction can be an effective teaching method in liberal arts education where learners are relatively less intimate. In addition, regarding the method of assessment, learners were most satisfied with an approach that put less pressure on paper-based exams, and perceived the increase in the amount of learning, the burden of preparation for performance activities, and the inability to check the visible evaluation results as the most difficult points. These results demonstrate the need for professional evaluation criteria and prior guidance regarding the class rubric. Finally, this study found that the improvement of the problem-solving efficacy of the participants did not affect class satisfaction, indicating that the instructor’s active role is needed, particularly when it comes to controlling the difficulty of competency performance activities, and when intervening on behalf of the student’s regarding their difficulties in learning. This study is meaningful in that it has confirmed that liberal arts classical literature education can play an important role in cultivating the competencies necessary for learners while maintaining the intrinsic value of the classics.
Reading Choi Seung-ja’s Poetry as University Liberal Arts Education: Focusing on the Case of University’s 〈Reading poetry〉
Authors: Yun JungHwa
Published: April 2024

This paper studies the case of teaching Korean poetry texts when conducting masterful reading and reading classes in university liberal arts education. It would be near impossible to present an ideal and complete list when creating a reading list for such a course. However, in this paper, it is suggested that Choi Seung-ja's poetry should be placed on any list that deals with those times in life when life itself is neglected, as well as used in liberal arts education classes at universities. In our current age, which is seeing an increase in depression among young people, this paper argues that the theme of death as seen in Choi Seung-ja's poem can actually give hope to its readers, and instill in them a level of resistance to death that will manifest as a will to life.
In Choi Seung-ja's poem, death is a tragedy given to us humans, but it tells us how to deal with this tragedy so that we can overcome death. The attitude of the poetic persona is repeated and circulated and strengthened, and readers can adopt the courage needed to stand up to death by reading about the attitude of the poetic persona. In this paper, the significance of character education and poetry reading by learners living in an environment of death after COVID-19, can be confirmed in Choi Seung-ja's poetry learning. Learners find a way to overcome death in a finite life where death is a certainty. This process was confirmed in the ‘Writing Poetry Review’, which was written during the process of learning Choi Seung-ja's poetry. Thus, this paper revealed that Choi Seung-ja's poetry can function as a very efficient text in poetry education.
The Practical Humanities Implications of Pitch Standardization History
Authors: Jeon Seonkoo
Published: April 2024

Practical humanities, as a methodological approach for establishing the social value of humanities, embodies a proactive attitude and an effort to innovate the lack of social communication in the humanities, which has been identified as a root cause of the so-called crisis within this humanities. The standard pitch acts as an international linguistic convention within the musical domain, serving as a mediator for musical communication and is deeply linked to socio-cultural texts. These texts merge musical traditions with the modern era, significantly broadening the discourse-generating logic within practical humanities into a pivotal cultural code. This research aims to construct a methodological model to explore the social implementation of practical humanities by clarifying the historical identities of 435Hz and 440Hz, which lead the narrative of pitch standardization. 435Hz addressed the reality of inconsistent pitch prevalent across the 19th century European musical practice scene by establishing an intermediary pitch standard for musical practice. 440Hz reflects the characteristics of a universal and practical pitch aimed at enhancing the efficiency of musical communication, against the backdrop of the expanding social topography which is linked to pragmatic thinking in the early 20th century.
A Study on the Development of the Educational Materials of the 〈General Korean Language〉 for International Undergraduate Students inan Intermediate Level of the Korean Language
Authors: Kim Min-kyung , Ryu Seon-suk , Lee Ah-reum , Sim Jee-yun
Published: April 2024

This is a basic study to develop the educational materials for general Korean language learning for international undergraduate students in the intermediate level. It aims to survey the needs of learners and thereby establish some developmental directions. To achieve this, Iconducted a survey with 306 international students at A University. The results showed that many learners recognized the necessity of textbook development, and that although there was a high preference for e-books, ademand for paper books still existed. Regarding preferred media types, demands were observed not only for familiar media such as movies, dramas and social media, but also for other types of media like newspaper articles and the news in general. Regarding the topics demanded, they included daily life, hobbies, personalities, travel, and social and academic subjects. As for the desired functions to be enhanced, there were high demands for speaking, vocabulary, and grammar, and the balanced demands for listening, reading, and writing. Accordingly, this study proposed that educational materials should be composed in such a way that e-books and paper books coexist, and that the materials should be developed by maximizing the educational value of each. Furthermore, this study suggested that a comprehensive textbook that develops all language functions evenly would be more suitable than educational materials specialized in one function, given the characteristics of learners who need to not only expand their learning experiences with the use of various media, but to also cultivate their communication skills and academic task performance abilities.
Trends in Science Humanities Convergence Education in Japanese Universities and their Implications
Authors: Kim Seong Hee , Lee Bokyoung
Published: April 2024

As science and technology advance, fundamental changes are taking place in individual lives and society. At this time, the dichotomous thinking that excessively distinguishes between science and humanities, as is prevalent in Korea and Japan, hinders the nurturing of the next generation’s capabilities. Since the 21st century, the Japanese government has continued to promote transversal and/or convergence education in science and humanities to overcome the limitations of early specialization in secondary education and the resulting limitations in college education. With the help of government financial and policy support, Japanese universities offer transversal education in a variety of ways, such as degree programs in interdisciplinary fields such as environmental studies and data science, a problem-solving-oriented curriculum, the activation of double major and minor systems, and bachelor degree programs in the liberal arts. Also, a trend began to redefine education goals to fit its nature and strengthen the liberal arts and sciences. This article explores the background and process of promoting transversal education through the Japanese government's official documents and articles, showing that it is being carried out within the larger framework of the pursuit of liberal arts in the 21st century. Lastly, this study shows that these trends fit into the context of liberal education and demonstrates how this field is reemerging globally.

¿Es superior el nivel de creatinina respecto de la presencia de albuminuria en su asociación con eventos cardiovasculares en los pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2?
Authors: Dieuzeide Guillermo , González Claudio Daniel
Published: April 2024

Introducción: la enfermedad cardiovascular y la enfermedad renal constituyen la mayor causa de mortalidad en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) por lo cual es importante conocer el valor relativo del nivel de creatinina y la presencia de albuminuria en la predicción de eventos cardiovasculares (ECV).
Objetivos: conocer la fuerza de la asociación entre los niveles de creatinina y albuminuria, y la presencia de ECV en pacientes con DM2.
Materiales y métodos: en 270 pacientes (138 hombres y 132 mujeres) con DM2 y una edad X: 66±10,2 años se determinaron el promedio de las tres últimas mediciones de creatinina (método de Jaffe cinético modificado) y las tres últimas determinaciones del cociente albuminuria/creatininuria (nefelometría) en orina matinal. Se documentaron ECV mayores. Se determinó como enfermedad aterosclerótica cardiovascular los antecedentes de infarto de miocardio, angina de pecho, angioplastia y/o cirugía de revascularización miocárdica y/o de miembros inferiores, accidente cerebrovascular. Y enfermedad cardiovascular no aterosclerótica los antecedentes de insuficiencia cardíaca y de arritmias.
Resultados: el 31,5% de los pacientes tuvo algún EVC. En el análisis univariado se registró una asociación significativa entre los valores de creatininemia y ECV en la curva ROC, con un valor de corte igual a 1,42 mg/dl (AUC: 0,595; p<0,001). Un valor de albuminuria mayor a 88 mg/g se asoció con un mayor número de ECV (p:<0,01), aunque la curva ROC fue no significativa.
Conclusiones: en el análisis multivariado, por regresión logística ajustando otras variables, la creatininemia, la edad y los niveles de colesterol HDL se asociaron significativamente con eventos (aumento del riesgo del 178% para creatininas iguales o superiores a 1,42 mg/dL), mientras que la albuminuria no resultó significativamente asociada a los mismos.
