The Dome of the Rock – a signifier of the beginning of the history of Islamic art
Authors: Isanović Nusret
Published: November 2023

A dome on the rock is the first monumental masterpiece of Islamic architecture in the Umayyad time.
Like the Big Mosque in Damascus it was raised on different authentic elements of Syria and Mesopotamia and on the inspiration that once used to be suppressed, but which was released by Islam. This is the work of the mentality ruled by a cosmic feeling of a temple, which expresses its metaphysical experience and universality by means of dome.
In the dome on rock Islam started materializing its first really artistic forms so its aesthetics started safer steps towards self-formation. Dome designates originating of a new art and its language in which Beauty starts speaking not only by means of nature and by forms created through meeting immediate requests of the faith but also by means of art, not betraying its metaphysical meaning though.
A dome the on rock designates a start of Islamic art history and realization of Islam in new, more complex, forms of spirit. As such, it also designates a beginning of its coming out from perfect simplicity. The Truth that Allah announced as Instruction to the worlds ceases to live only in pure forms of the faith. It gradually enters culturally and civilizationally articulated areas of time and history.
It becomes “forced” to materialize, to accept certain forms of the world to which it is addressed to, in order to materialize its purpose in it. It took rise from requests of culturally and historically rich world which Islam has met not only as a stimulus to its development and realization in civilization dimensions, but also as a treat and serious challenge to its own identity. A dome on rock is a first significant attempt of Islam to respond to these challenges in the media of art.
An overview of the didactic-methodical work of Hamdija Mulić
Authors: Čatić Refik
Published: November 2023

Having considered didactic and methodic work of Hamdija Mulić, we can say that he, with his thought and immediate teaching praxis, has modernized work in religion teaching. The religion teaching methodic should show us how to plan and execute curricula in a systematically founded and organized manner. This applies to the both: maktabs and regular schools. In order to have a successful curriculum, it has to be methodically thought and based on fundamental didactic laws.
In the book “Methodic of Religious Curriculum” Hamdija Mulić shows experience and praxis of best achievements in that field. Therefore, methodic of religious curriculum is a theory of conducting the curriculum based on experience and tested in praxis, but the theory that inclines to transform into praxis, to change. As a theory, Mulić’s study gives orientation for a work and gives stimulus to religion teachers to consider and apply his ideas in this time. Namely, each religion teacher has to thoroughly know curriculum regularities in order to apply them on specific content of religious upbringing and education. For successful curriculum, mere completion of theology studies is not sufficient, as some people believe, but separate education on immediate teaching performance is needed as well. Unfortunately, sufficient attention was not paid to pedagogical, didactical and methodic work which underlines the significance of Hamdija Mulić’s work. Let this study be a stimulus to those who deal with religious upbringing and education to research and modernize didactic and methodic approach in immediate teaching praxis as well as to develop the theory of religious upbringing and education in the spirit and tradition of Islam.
Interpretation of Fatiha and its meaning in prayer
Authors: Mehtić Halil
Published: November 2023

El-Fatiha is considered to be the most chosen sura in Islam. The very fact that it is inevitably recited at any prayer and at any rak’a shows its significance and universality. The most beautiful form of gratitude to the Lord of worlds is expressed in it.
Reciting it in a modest manner, we call our Creator with his Beautiful Names: Allāh, Rabb, Rahmān, Rahīm and Mālik. In fact, it is the most comprehensive form of a dialogue with Allah Almighty.
It is a core of Qur’an and basis of Islamic learning. It is a divine appeal to people to unify their hearts and concentrate their aspirations towards one goal - honest devotion to Allah Almighty.
The first islamic educational survey (1910-1911)
Authors: Hasanović Bilal
Published: November 2023

The Islamic educational poll (expert board) had the task of studying and offering solutions to a number of religious-educational and general educational questions in the field of elementary education, of which some had been ‘inviolable’ for centuries – such as secular education of female Muslim children, considering that strong opposition from parents as well as from the greater part of the conservative ulama dominated this sphere.
Despite the heterogeneous intellectual makeup, the survey had conducted an analysis of all the questions and offered some solutions which, in contrast to the present condition, was a significant step forward in the direction of religious and general education of the new generation of Muslims.
Our school on the threshold of change
Authors: Ajanović Dževdeta
Published: November 2023

Our educational system has broken away from the socialist doctrine of upbringing, but it hasn’t been consistent in adoption of new ideas, nor has it integrated itself, in an organised manner into the European developments, which are geared towards learning for the 21st century. The dominant dimension of social development is global education as a general line of development with a clear orientation for the future – on the global level this system is being directly integrated into European and World developments.
Global education can be defined as a trend in the development of contemporary pedagogical theory and practice in the function of universal intellectual knowledge, the basis for the integration of scholastic learning and the preparation of the young for life.
Teachers and the students will be able to perform the task, which belongs to their function only if they are constantly involved in the process of learning.
Expanted understanding of method in islamic education
Authors: Vejo Edina
Published: November 2023

The text discuses the notion of method in Islamic education.It offers broader understanding of the method based on the existence of implicational relation between decisions regarding method and content in the education. Scientific intervention in the area of content is represented through two complemental approaches. The first is from the position of pedagogical management.In this approach the strategy of planning in the area of Islamic education placed in the context of macro-management is questioned. The second approach is reformulation of contents. It rests on the need of surprassing of their reduction and introduction of contents more sensitive to the intellectual Islamic tradition. In that way the possibility of improvement of methodical decisions in Islamic education would be opened. This possibility is limited at the moment by the nature of contents that are presented. Wider implication of such interventions is manifested in more radical establishment of science in our education. The education here is sensitive because of the intellectual and spiritual background secured by Islam.
Terminological obscurity in the field of planning and preparation of the educational process
Authors: Pehlić Izet
Published: November 2023

This work analyses the basic concepts in the field of planning and the development of an educational program.
The term curriculum has been avoided in our educational public, or it had multiple interpretations that were not only characteristic for our pedagogical theory and practice but also for a significant number of other countries. Its numerous definitions differ from each other.
In the Anglo-American milieu the term curriculum had continuously survived, developed, and conceptually united within itself the relevant dimensions which originate from various pedagogical disciplines (school pedagogy, sociology of education, didactics, teaching methods), which, in turn, created an environment for the understanding of its meaning. Equally, there are tendencies of diminishing its meaning, and even totally ignoring its existence or reducing it to only one of its dimensions (curriculum, program of instruction).

Mus’ab b. ‘Umejr, r.a. – the first ambassador of da’wa in islam
Authors: Kurdić Šefik
Published: November 2023

Mus’ab b. ‘Umejr, r.a. was one of the most diligent students of Allah’s Prophet, Muhammed s.a.w.s. He embraced Islam in his early years and wove into it all of his physical and spiritual strength. Even though his parents had mistreated him because of his devotion to Islam, by depriving him of food, drink and clothing, he remained steadfast on his path of truth and became an example to other young men on how to fight for ideals, which surpass the mundane life and its needs.
The methods he used in his da’wa became the paradigm for all future generations. Namely, using his discerning selection he converted two key men in Medina and by doing so, made it possible for half of the population of this city to embrace Islam, but he also made way for a normal arrival of muhajeers from the idolatrous Mecca into the city of Medina which was to become a nucleus from which a new, united and a unique generation of Muslims emerged – the likes of which would never emerge again until the Day of Judgement.
This first ambassador of da’wa, whom Allah’s Prophet s.a.w.s. had sent to teach the first Muslims of Medina the recitation of Qur’an and the fundamental postulates of Islam, had very much contributed to the formation of the first Islamic community, military and state.
The analysis of his perfect methods, learned in the school of Muhammed s.a.w.s., will greatly contribute to our attempts to present Islam and affirm it in such a way so as to bring it nearer and make it more receptive to those who are longing for the truth and wish to, one day, recognise it.
Geopolotical, demographic, economic and geostrategic characteristics of sarajevo-zenica region
Authors: Najetović Džemal
Published: November 2023

Regarding geographic position, natural and human resources and their general correlation in social processes, Sarajevo- Zenica region is the central territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Such geographic position makes it the core of Bosnian- Herzegovinian geographic area.
This region controls considerable reserves of coal, forests, hydro-electric potential, etc. which is very important for the realization of Bosnian-Herzegovinian development concept.
The neighboring countries had centuries-long territorial claims to this central mineral and forest-mountainous part of Bosnia. Because of these claims this area suffered over 200 conquering attacks in the past.
The attitude towards territorial integrity, sovereignty and political independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina is the crucial question for the safety of the Western Balkans and south-east Europe. However, supposing that Sarajevo-Zenica region becomes occupied and divided, integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina would be uncertain. In other words it would not exist.

Austro-Hungarian ocupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and new socially political, cultural and religioeducational state of affairs
Authors: Hasanović Bilal
Published: November 2023

After the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austro-Hungarian Monarchy (1878), Muslims in B&H undergo great social, political and cultural changes. Numerous cultural, political and economic relations between Bosniacs and far away centers of Islamic, political and cultural life of the Islamic world were almost broken. Bosnian Muslims were forced to choose between the tradition of western civilization and disappearance. The road of their adaptation was very difficult and painstaking, and for many Bosnians that was the reason for moving from Bosnia, mostly to Turkey.
Not any important political, cultural or religious movements marked the first two decades after the occupation. First movements important for Bosnian cultural and political scene started at the end of IX and the beginning of XX century. This period was characterized by Bosnian demands for religioeducational and vakuf- me’arif authonomy, and by many other culturally-educational, economic and humanitarian projects that stirred the consciousness of Bosnian Muslims about the necessity of cultural and national emancipation.
On an educational level Austro-Hungarian administration in Bosnia and Herzegovina attempts to introduce common (for all the three confessions) primary education, but it encounters the resistance of both the Catholic Church and the conservative Bosnian Muslims. They were vigorously against all innovations that come from the West, and the resistance to educating Muslim females was especially strong.
The basic Muslim education – mektebs, three decades after the occupation, gives some positive results although only 2% of Muslim children attended state-run schools. This was the subject of vehement critique of the state educational politics by some Bosnian members at the Bosnian Parliament.
SOCIAL ISOLATION: NEW FORM OF MARGINALIZATION
Authors: Alisabri Šabani
Published: November 2023

This paper discusses the genesis of the idea of social isolation and the author considers that mass poverty is the key potential for starting social isolation. The universe of poverty variable does not end only with the beginning of social isolation, but it also has some other implications like social reforms failure, small social capital, and low rate of social thrust. The further text elaborates sociological status of social isolation through social issues phenomena. The author’s view is that social isolation is the aspect of a social issue. The emergence of social issues itself a behavior analysis and a reaction to the phenomena. Concretely, through an analysis, we must try to understand the way some activities attract attention while some other do not. A social phenomenon, as a social issue, tends to maintain itself, and an assumption for its continuance in space and time is a certain number that it includes. On the other hand, social issue also involves a number of social services that are in charge of the issue control. The paper ends discussing the recent insights into the idea of social isolation.

"In the context of the modernization and reform of our country, the reforms that protect rights and are carried out in the field of judicial law are primarily aimed at comprehensive protection of human rights, freedoms, and legal interests. These are gradual and gradual reforms, giving the state the role of the main reformer, ensuring the rule of law, and implementing a strong social policy. Also, today there are problems related to the relevance of preliminary inquiry and investigation processes. However, from the point of view of identifying problematic situations or cases in our legislation by scientists and practitioners, the results studied or analyzed are still not fully resolved. As a result of detecting, preventing, or exposing certain types of crimes, the consequences of the wrong application of our law are happening. In this regard, we have analyzed the description of some methods of detection and exposure of crimes committed through staging. At the end of the analysis, we have made suggestions regarding the situations that should be paid attention to in the practice of staging investigations. This article is devoted to these issues. "
COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF DETENTION AT THE END OF THE PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION AND AT THE TRIAL STAGE
Authors:   Tashkent State University of Law, Suyunova Dilbar
Published: November 2023

The article analyzes the issues of the terms of detention of a person when the prosecutor approves the indictment and the transfer of the case to the court. The author dwells in detail on such important points of pre-trial and judicial proceedings as the election of a preventive measure in the form of detention, the terms of such detention, and legislative regulation of the issues of extending the terms of detention. The study found that despite the fairly strict regulation of the detention of a person at the pre-trial stage, his detention during the transfer of a criminal case to court, the appointment of the case to trial, and the consideration of the case within the time limits established by law, and sometimes above the specified time limits, does not provide a real right to freedom of persons, in particular in respect of which a criminal case is being considered in court. The author’s conclusions are set out regarding the issues of the duration of detention of the person in respect of whom the case is scheduled for hearing; effective measures are proposed to solve urgent problems in judicial and investigative practice in order to guarantee human rights and freedoms. It is necessary to specify in the law the norms that would regulate some of the problems associated with the detention of a person during the preparation of a case for trial and its consideration in court.

In this case, the researcher wants to analyse three advertising posters for the Avon Catalog 2022 product “WHAT'S NEW” out of a total of singers representing dark-skinned women using semiotics. The dark-skinned women who became the object symbolized that the advertised product was suitable for all skin types. This study employs a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis. Therefore, this study aims to identify the signs (icon, index, symbol) and find out the meaning of messages contained in advertising posters through Peirce's theory. The results of this study indicate that there are 13 signs on 3 Avon advertising posters (Eye Love It, Luxury In The Shade of You, Winter-proof Your Skin). Besides that, the researcher also found the meaning of each symbol by using dark-skinned women, which shows that they can also positively impact the beauty world. It could be concluded that each advertisement had a different sign, and this distinct difference had given different interpretations. From the semiotics analysis of ads, the advertiser's complex idea can be quickly delivered by the cons quickly

The Initiatives for Enforcing the Quality Assurance Standards in Fostering Universities’ Compliance in Tanzania
Authors: Mrema Daudi , Ndayambaje Irénée , Ntawiha Philothère , Ndabaga Eugene
Published: November 2023

The world university system currently emphasizes strict compliance with established quality assurance standards for enhancing graduates' quality and academic capabilities. In that vein, compliance with university quality assurance standards across the globe requires critical consideration of the adequate and correct application of initiatives for enforcing such standards. Similar to other countries, Tanzania has some initiatives for enforcing its universities’ quality assurance standards. Despite the application of such initiatives, the country is witnessing low to extreme non-compliance cases each year. This study examined the application of initiatives for enforcing quality assurance standards in fostering universities' compliance in Tanzania. It was informed by the qualitative approach and adopting a case study design. Interviews, documentary analysis, and focus group discussion were data collection methods applied in the four universities involving 46 respondents that were purposively chosen. The data analysis was done through a content analysis approach. The analysis revealed that both technical and administrative enforcement initiatives were found to be applied in universities. The technical initiatives are monitoring and evaluation for teaching, examination moderation and strict invigilation, independent examination, self-assessment and academic audits, and accreditation, while administrative ones are improving quality assurance staff motivation and capacity, promoting quality assurance stakeholders’ involvement, and establishing an effective quality assurance leadership system. In applying such initiatives, the deficiencies (i.e., incorrect and inadequate applications), strengths, differences and similarities were found across the involved universities. Besides, very unsatisfactory applications of enforcement initiatives were found in private universities compared to public ones. Due to such unsatisfactory applications, non-compliance cases at various university stakeholders' levels exist in those universities. This study concludes that the existing university non-compliance cases in Tanzania are attributed to the existing inadequate and incorrect application of enforcement initiatives. It recommends that there is a need for the Tanzania Commission for Universities to issue more detailed guidelines to harmonize the application of some enforcement initiatives that have attracted different application practices across universities. Besides, the Tanzania Commission for Universities and university quality assurance agencies must take the strongest punitive measures against non-complying individuals and universities to discourage such behavior.

Characterization of Cold Land Hydrological Processes by Integrating In-Situ Snowpack Observations with a Land Surface Model in the Yellowstone River Basin, USA
Authors: Kang Do Hyuk
Published: November 2023

Abstract. In the eastern region of the North American Continental Divide in the upper Colorado Rockies, this study demonstrates that enhancing streamflow predictability from May to July in the Yellowstone River Basin is enabled. This streamflow improvement is achieved by employing a land surface hydrology model in the watershed, coupled with an updated winter precipitation weather forcing dataset. Utilizing 13 snowpack telemetry stations from the US Department of Agriculture in the Yellowstone River Basin, the paper calculates ratios between a baseline simulated snowpack from the initial land surface model application and the observed snowpack. The average ratio serves as a constant multiplier for the existing snowfall weather forcing applied in the second land surface model simulation. As a result of the second simulation, the streamflow predictability reaches a Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) of 0.91, in contrast to the baseline simulation's 0.73 NSE during peak streamflow periods. The study also explores cold land hydrological processes, particularly those related to snowmelt-driven streamflow. In addition to streamflow, two land surface variables such as snowpack and soil moisture are assessed against in-situ snowpack and satellite-based soil moisture observations in the Yellowstone River Basin. The comparisons reveal that the peak of soil moisture is mainly driven by springtime snowmelt and diminishes in the summer. The findings are confirmed by both land surface model simulations and satellite-borne soil moisture observations. Another noteworthy discovery is that soil infiltration properties in the Yellowstone River Basin are wetter than the western Continental Divide in North America, resulting in amplified streamflow in the eastern side despite similar levels of snowmelt runoff on either side of the Continental Divide in the upper Colorado Rockies in the United States.
CHESS-SCAPE: high-resolution future projections of multiple climate scenarios for the United Kingdom derived from downscaled United Kingdom Climate Projections 2018 regional climate model output
Authors: Robinson Emma L. , Huntingford Chris , Semeena Valyaveetil Shamsudheen , Bullock James M.
Published: November 2023

Abstract. In order to effectively model the potential impacts of future climate change, there is a requirement for climate data inputs which (a) are of high spatial and temporal resolution, (b) explore a range of future climate change scenarios, (c) are consistent with historical observations in the historical period, and (d) provide an exploration of climate model uncertainty. This paper presents a suite of climate projections for the United Kingdom that conform to these requirements: CHESS-SCAPE. CHESS-SCAPE is a 1 km resolution dataset containing 11 near-surface meteorological variables that can be used to as input to many different impact models. The variables are available at several time resolutions, from daily to decadal means, for the years 1980–2080. It was derived from the state-of-the art regional climate projections in the United Kingdom Climate Projections 2018 (UKCP18) regional climate model (RCM) 12 km ensemble, downscaled to 1 km using a combination of physical and empirical methods to account for local topographic effects. CHESS-SCAPE has four ensemble members, which were chosen to span the range of temperature and precipitation change in the UKCP18 ensemble, representing the ensemble climate model uncertainty. CHESS-SCAPE consists of projections for four emissions scenarios, given by the Representative Concentration Pathways 2.6, 4.5, 6.0 and 8.5, which were derived from the UKCP18 RCM RCP8.5 scenarios using time shifting and pattern scaling. These correspond to UK annual warming projections of between 0.9–1.9 K for RCP2.6 up to 2.8–4.3 K for RCP8.5 between 1980–2000 and 2060–2080. Little change in annual precipitation is projected, but larger changes in seasonal precipitation are seen with some scenarios projecting large increases in precipitation in the winter (up to 22 %) and large decreases in the summer (up to −39 %). All four RCP scenarios and ensemble members are also provided with bias correction, using the CHESS-met historical gridded dataset as a baseline. With high spatial and temporal resolution, an extensive range of warming scenarios and multiple ensemble members, CHESS-SCAPE provides a comprehensive data resource for modellers of climate change impacts in the UK. The CHESS-SCAPE data are available for download from the NERC EDS Centre for Environmental Data Analysis: https://doi.org/10.5285/8194b416cbee482b89e0dfbe17c5786c (Robinson et al., 2022).
The climatology and nature of warm-season convective cells in cold-frontal environments over Germany
Authors: Pacey George , Pfahl Stephan , Schielicke Lisa , Wapler Kathrin
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Cold fronts provide an environment particularly favourable for convective initiation in the mid-latitudes and can also be associated with convective hazards such as flooding, wind, hail and lightning. We build a climatology of cold-frontal convective cells between 2007–2016 for April–September in a cell-front distance framework by combining a radar-based cell detection and tracking dataset and automatic front detection methods applied to reanalysis data. We find that on average around twice as many cells develop on cold-frontal cell days compared to non-cold-frontal cell days. Using the 700 hPa level as a reference point, we show the maximum cell frequency is 350–400 km ahead of the 700 hPa front, which is marginally ahead of the typical surface front location. The 700 hPa front location marks the minimum cell frequency and a clear shift in regime between cells, with a weakened diurnal cycle on the warm side of the 700 hPa cold front and strongly diurnally driven cells on the cold side of the 700 hPa front. High cell frequency is found several hundreds of kilometres ahead of the surface front, and cells in this region are most likely to be associated with mesocyclones, intense convective cores and lightning. Namely, mesocyclones were detected in around 5.0 % of pre-surface-frontal cells compared to only 1.5 % of non-cold-frontal cells. The findings in this study are an important step towards a better understanding of cold-frontal convection climatology and links between cold fronts and convective hazards.

Populismo y democracia deliberativa. Un análisis desde la teoría del discurso de Jürgen Habermas
Authors: Prono Santiago
Published: November 2023

En los últimos años la aparición del populismo como propuesta teórica viene ocupando mayores espacios de reflexión filosófica; algunas de esas reflexiones resultan críticas de tal propuesta. En el presente trabajo se analiza críticamente el concepto de populismo de Ernesto Laclau teniendo en cuenta el marco teórico de la democracia deliberativa de Jürgen Habermas. La idea es contribuir con el tipo de reconocimiento político que el populismo propone respecto de la ciudadanía, pero sin por ello incurrir en los problemas que su planteo comporta para la democracia. Para alcanzar este objetivo se analiza la parte republicana de la teoría habermasiana de la democracia.
Parodia y tuberculosis en “Un hombre muerto a puntapiés” de Pablo Palacio
Authors: Salinas Ramos Tania Maribel
Published: November 2023

El presente trabajo analiza el cuento “Un hombre muerto a puntapiés” de Pablo Palacio para evidenciar que el autor utiliza la parodia como recurso literario que desacredita la ideología moral y cristiana heredada del romanticismo. Para demostrar la tesis, se pone especial atención en Octavio Ramírez, personaje principal del cuento, y siguiendo a Susan Sontag se interpreta su condición de extranjero y de sujeto reprimido como elementos que revelan la presencia de tuberculosis. Sontag indica que la literatura romántica del XIX les atribuía esta enfermedad a sujetos beatíficos. El gesto crítico de Palacio frente a la moral cristiana de la literatura romántica radica en atribuir este padecimiento a un personaje que en el contexto narrativo transgrede las identidades homogéneas.
Integration of Urhobo Cultural Identity in the Design of a Cultural Centre for Urhobo Province
Authors: B. Umukoro , U. Aminu , M.B. Adamu
Published: November 2023

The broad objective of the study was to examine the possibilities of integrating Urhobo Cultural Identity in the Design of a Cultural Centre. A total population of 770 traditional leaders in Urhobo Province was used for the purpose of the research where a sample of 261 of them was selected and questionnaires were administered to them. The study employed a quantitative and qualitative research design where focus group discussion and case studies were used to gather and analyse the data. The focus group discussion interview questions were used to gather qualitative research data where the researcher identified the most prominent responses from different responses put forward by the researcher. Case studies were used to identify the differences and similarities between the design of open theatres, auditoria, multipurpose halls, museums and the Urhobo cultural centre in which this study is based. Tangible elements of Urhobo culture were identified for the purpose of this study. Also, the result of the findings from the case studies carried out reflected the cultural identity of their regions by featuring different cultural identity elements through their spatial organization, building materials and techniques, building forms and decorative styles. The study concludes that there were several strategies employed by architects to express cultural identity in their work. The study recommends that when designing any building in any region, architects should try to express the cultural identity of the region so as to create a sense of belonging of the region to the building, thereby making people appreciate the resident culture. Additionally, in-depth studies should be carried out on the resident/local cultures and their traditional architecture so as to understand them inside-out in order to create a standard for the contemporary design of cultural centres. Awareness should be created about designing buildings that showcase the cultural character and identity of a region at the same time throwing challenges that will serve as reference points for contemporary vernacular architecture. The Theory of Place was adopted and found relevant as the underpinning theory for the study.

Biologi merupakan salah satu pelajaran yang sangat penting dan berhubungan dengan kehidupan sehari-hari. Biologi tumbuh seiring perkembangan zaman dan teknologi dan memiliki prosepek yang menjanjikan. Untuk dapat berhasil dan menghasilkan hasil yang optimal dalam pelajaran Biologi, guru perlu memperhatikan metode pembelajaran yang digunakan sehingga motivasi siswa untuk belajar Biologi dapat meningkat. Motivasi belajar Biologi adalah keseluruhan daya penggerak di dalam diri siswa yang menimbulkan kegiatan belajar, yang menjamin kelangsungan dari kegiatan dan memberikan arah pada kegiatan belajar pada pelajaran Biologi, sehingga tujuan yang dikehendaki oleh subjek belajar dapat dicapai. Salah satu metode pembelajaran yang kemungkinan dapat meningkatkan motivasi belajar adalah metode pembelajaran kontekstual. Penerapan metode pembelajaran kontekstual ini pada pelajaran Biologi akan dinilai oleh siswa baik secara kognitif maupun afektif. Persepsi siswa terhadap metode pembelajaran kontekstual akan mempengaruhi perilaku belajar siswa. Siswa yang memiliki persepsi positif akan memiliki motivasi belajar Biologi yang tinggi sedangkan siswa yang memiliki persepsi yang negatif terhadap pembelajaran kontekstual memiliki motivasi belajar Biologi yang rendah. Subjek penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas XI IPA SMAN 2 Bolo berjumlah 123 orang siswa. Teknik sampling yang digunakan adalah sampel jenuh. Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah skala persepsi terhadap pembelajaran kontekstual yang berjumlah 29 aitem (α = 0.919) dan skala motivasi belajar Biologi yang berjumlah 29 aitem (α = 0.914). Hasil analisis data dengan metode analisis regresi sederhana menunjukkan hasil rxy sebesar 0.804 dengan p = 0.000 (p<0.05).

Authors: ERZEN Mehmet
Published: November 2023

Based on the density functional theory and first-principal calculations, the physical properties of the Zr3GeO8 crystal for the ground state were calculated. In all calculations, the Density functional theory based ABINIT package program was used. Investigations were made under the local density approximation. The geometric optimization of the Zr3GeO8 crystal, the state density of the valence electrons, the electronic band structure to understand the conductivity character of the crystal, and the linear optical properties to see the response of the material to the electromagnetic wave were calculated. In addition, dynamic-thermodynamic properties were calculated for the Zr3GeO8 crystal. According to the calculated structural optimization and electronic band structure, the band gap of the Zr3GeO8 crystal is 4.4663 eV and it has been obtained that it has an indirect band gap. For the Zr3GeO8 crystal, some constants such as energy loss functions, reflectivity, and absorption coefficient are calculated depending on the ground state linear optical properties and linear optical properties. The phonon distribution, state density and contribution of each atom to the density of state the Zr3GeO8 crystal were calculated. Finally, free energy, internal energy, entropy, and heat capacity were calculated for the Zr3GeO8 crystal.
El Régimen Político de Conocimiento en acción: Ciencia y política en la respuesta al COVID-19 en Uruguay (2020-2021)
Authors: Garcé García y Santos Adolfo
Published: November 2023

El pleito entre tecnocracia y democracia atraviesa los siglos y las fronteras. Pero este pleito asume, en cada país, una forma específica que lo caracteriza, y ha sido definida como Régimen Político de Conocimiento. En este artículo se ilustra cómo es y cómo opera el Régimen Político de Conocimiento de Uruguay analizando la respuesta del gobierno que lidera el presidente Luis Lacalle Pou a la pandemia COVID-19. En particular, se examina el vínculo entre el gobierno y al Grupo Asesor Científico Honorario que lo auxilió entre abril de 2020 y junio de 2021. El ciclo de este grupo asesor (instalación, convergencia, divergencia, disolución) pone de manifiesto que, en Uruguay, incluso en los momentos de mayor incertidumbre, las decisiones de gobierno y las políticas públicas no se delegan en los expertos. La respuesta de Uruguay a la pandemia COVID-19, además, invita a seguir profundizando en cómo debe usarse el conocimiento científico en sociedades democráticas. El conocimiento científico es incierto, incompleto y más cargado de valor de lo que sus cultores quisieran. La ciencia es imprescindible, pero debe estar sometida a un escrutinio ciudadano riguroso.
Ética en la práctica del profesional de la Salud

Published: November 2023

Podemos definir como Ética a la parte de la filosofía constituida por un conjunto de normas que están presentes y dirigen el comportamiento humano. En el concepto de formación integral que deben recibir los profesionales durante la educación superior, la ética constituye la piedra angular en la que no deben faltar compromiso, claridad de los conceptos éticos y un alto nivel de responsabilidad tanto personal como social.
Establecer los fundamentos éticos en la práctica de los profesionales de la salud con la finalidad de brindar una herramienta de apoyo en la toma de decisiones ante los dilemas éticos, analizar la ética en el ámbito sanitario y conocer el papel de la ética en la formación de los profesionales de la salud.
Todo profesional debe saber que su dimensión de servicio debe ser siempre buscar la excelencia en el servicio y así decimos que quien estudia medicina o alguna profesión relacionada a la salud, es aquel que lo hace por vocación, siempre con un alto espíritu altruista, con altas competencias académicas y técnicas.
