The current study focuses on the previous research on paleopalynology of existing plants from different regions of the Eocene strata of South Asia. This study was conducted for the first time in the study area to highlight the distributions, identifications, and abundance of the floral paleopalynological record of the Eocene in South Asia. The study attempts to describe plant evolution, reconstructions of past climate change, and the effects of these changes on plant communities over time in the study area. The vegetation of the study area during the depositional period was better predicted by the existence of fossil flora. The proposed work yields data on the dominant fossil plant taxa that existed in South Asia over megaannum–including trees, shrubs, herbs, bryophytes and aquatic macrophytes. Results of this work promise to yield novel insights into the synergistic effects of climate change and paleoecology and evolution of plant communities. The data proved useful for establishing links with other branches of sciences, including archaeology, geology, plant ecology and environmental science. The current study aimed to describe phylogeny, reconstructions of past climate change and its effects on plant communities in the Eocene period of south Asia.

Development of Chitosan-Based Antimicrobial Hydrogel Incorporating Polyvinylpyrrolidone and PHMG
Authors: Ivanov Ivan , Shatalov Denis
Published: December 2024

This study focuses on the development of a chitosan-based hydrogel incorporating polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride for the rehabilitation of damaged and contaminated skin. The thermal properties of chitosan-containing films were characterized by measuring the glass transition temperature (Tg) using differential scanning calorimetry. Due to challenges in accurately determining the Tg of chitosan from experimental and literature data, an additional method, dynamic mechanical analysis, was employed. Using the literature value for the Tg of polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride, the transitions of the components were determined. The estimated sorption capacity of the developed hydrogel showed that the inclusion of polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride reduced the moisture content, as expected. However, the overall behavior of the hydrogels remained similar. Vapor permeability, an important factor in wound healing, was also evaluated. Antimicrobial testing revealed no activity for the chitosan control sample despite some reports in the literature, while the samples containing polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride exhibited superior antimicrobial efficacy. These findings suggest that the incorporation of polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride and polyvinylpyrrolidone significantly enhances both the mechanical strength and antimicrobial potential of chitosan-based hydrogels, positioning them as promising candidates for the treatment of contaminated wounds.

Published: December 2024

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Aswaja learning in developing an understanding of religious moderation at MTs Munzalam Mubaroka. Based on observations, it was found that the Aswaja learning process has not yet achieved its optimal goals. Some students showed intolerance towards others' opinions during discussions and violated school regulations, such as not participating in pesantren orientation activities and lacking cooperation in group activities like community service. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The results indicate that students' knowledge of religious moderation is still low, as they have not received direct learning on the theory of moderation. However, through Aswaja learning, students are taught to be moderate in both religious and daily life practices. The Aswaja learning process includes the preparation of a syllabus, lesson plans (RPP), and the use of discussion, lecture, memorization, individual assignments, and storytelling methods. Learning evaluation is conducted through midterm (UTS) and final semester exams (UAS). In conclusion, although not yet fully optimal, Aswaja learning plays an important role in shaping students' attitudes toward religious moderation.

Published: December 2024

Research of cooperative learning is deeply rooted in the framework of the social interdependence theory which postulates that groups are formed in such a way as to ensure positive internal interdependence that enables students to accomplish tasks successfully. The paper elaborates on the need for the development of a comprehensive instrument which will measure, in a valid and reliable way, the representation of the bacic components of cooperative learning in primary schools. The design procedure and results of the validation of the scale for measuring the representation of the Basic Components of the Structure of Cooperative Learning (acronym BCS-SCL) are presented in the paper. The research was conducted on a sample of 516 primary school pupils in Serbia, from Rasina and Pomoravlje districts. In line with the presented theoretical framework, the results of the analysis of the main components showed that the BCS-SCL scale consists of five dimensions: (1) practicing social skills, (2) group processing, (3) face-to-face promotive interaction, (4) positive interdependence and (5) establishment of individual accountability. The results of the analyses show that BCS-SCL scale has a high internal consistency, which makes it a reliable instrument for measuring the representation of the basic components of the structure of cooperative learning in the classroom. The instrument is economical (53 items), relatively easy to use, and intended for investigating primary school pupils' attitudes.

Numerous studies point to the presence of a specific dichotomy in contemporary circumstances. On the one hand, it is emphasized that the knowledge of natural sciences is necessary for the progress of society. On the other hand, there are clear indicators of a decline in students' interest in mathematics, physics, biology, and chemistry. In this context, analysing the continuity of students' interest in teaching subjects is raised as relevant. Previous research on students' perceptions of different school subjects did not specifically take into account the students' majors and their attitudes towards the subjects. This study aims to investigate the high school students' perceptions of their educational experience in primary school, comparing the responses of the students enrolled in science-intensive programs to those of other students. We researched a sample of 1045 students from four high schools in Kragujevac and Novi Sad. Using an online questionnaire, we examined the following: the overall students' achievement in primary school in terms of final grades, their favourite subject in primary school, and their perceptions of the difficulty, usefulness, and interest of the subjects in primary school. The results show that students enrolling in natural sciences and specialized programs in mathematics, computer science, physics, biology, and chemistry have better overall academic performance than other students. Moreover, they significantly prefer mathematics, computer science, and physics. Additionally, these students perceive mathematics, computer science, physics, and chemistry, but not biology, as considerably less difficult and rate them as more interesting and useful compared to other students.

Authors: Joshi Amit , Jain Saharsh , Gupta Puneet Kumar
Published: December 2024

The transition towards sustainable transportation is critical for Jakarta, where traditional gas-powered vehicles contribute substantially to air pollution and adverse health effects. Battery- Powered Electric Vehicles (BEVs) represent a viable alternative, backed by technological advancements and government interventions like subsidies. However, despite these initiatives, BEV adoption remains influenced by factors beyond just price. This study explores consumer perceptions and the determinants of BEV demand using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The qualitative research, conducted through semi-structured interviews with 10 male participants aged 25 to 40, examines key factors impacting BEV adoption, such as price sensitivity, availability of substitutes, production costs, and externalities. Additionally, the study identifies the role of information gaps and government awareness campaigns in shaping consumer preferences. Findings indicate that price disparities, substitute availability, and infrastructure limitations significantly influence BEV adoption. Economic considerations, coupled with consumer awareness of environmental impacts, are pivotal in driving demand. The research suggests that enhancing infrastructure, providing accurate information, and implementing supportive policies could accelerate BEV adoption in Jakarta. This study contributes valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders seeking to promote sustainable transportation and mitigate negative externalities in Indonesia’s capital.

Published: December 2024

This study examines the impact of forensic accounting on financial fraud prevention through a qualitative comparative analysis across multiple countries. Utilizing a qualitative research methodology, the study explores how forensic accounting practices contribute to identifying, mitigating, and deterring financial fraud in diverse regulatory and cultural contexts. Data were gathered from case studies, academic literature, and expert interviews to analyze the effectiveness of forensic accounting tools and techniques in detecting fraudulent activities. The findings indicate that countries with robust forensic accounting frameworks experience lower incidences of financial fraud, highlighting the importance of specialized skills, advanced technologies, and regulatory enforcement. Furthermore, the research underscores the role of cultural and legal differences in shaping the adoption and implementation of forensic accounting practices. For instance, nations with stringent anti-corruption laws and transparency initiatives exhibit a higher integration of forensic accounting in financial monitoring processes. Conversely, countries with weaker institutional frameworks face challenges such as limited access to forensic expertise and inadequate regulatory oversight. This study provides insights into best practices and offers policy recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of forensic accounting globally. By emphasizing the interplay between regulatory structures, cultural norms, and forensic accounting methodologies, this research contributes to the discourse on financial fraud prevention and its implications for global economic stability.

Cold-setting melamine-urea-formaldehyde (CS-MUF) resins being used as adhesives for manufacturing laminated wood timber products require to have a proper viscosity using thickener or filler. However, studies on thermal curing kinetics and behavior of the modified CS-MUF resins with liquid thickener are limited. Hence, this study focuses on the thermal cure kinetics of the modified CS-MUF resins with two liquid thickeners at three addition levels to obtain the resin viscosities of 4,000 mPa.s, 8,000 mPa.s and 12,000 mPa.s. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to estimate cure kinetics of the modified CS-MUF resins using two analysis methods: 1) model-fitting (MFT) method containing the Kissinger (KSNG) analysis, and 2) model-free (MFK) methods containing Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) analysis, and nonlinear isoconversional (VYA) analysis. The KSNG, KAS, and VYA analysis showed that all modified CS-MUF resins followed very similar curing behavior with small difference, except Resin #2 which followed the autocatalytic reaction model based on the Málek method. These results suggest that liquid thickeners increase to a proper viscosity of CS-MUF resins without major impact to their curing behavior.

This study aims to deeply analyze the role of religious literacy in improving maharah qira'ah (reading ability) at SMP Pahlawan Nasional Kota Medan. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, this study explores data thoroughly regarding students' ability to read the Qur'an and its relationship to the religious literacy program implemented at the school. Data collection methods include memorization and Qur'an reading tests, observation of reading abilities, and surveys to explore students' perceptions of the importance of religious literacy. The results show that the majority of students still require intensive guidance in reading the Qur'an. In each class, only a few students are able to read the Qur'an and pronounce Arabic correctly, although their fluency is still lacking. Most students are not able to read the Qur'an fluently, and some still struggle to distinguish hijaiyah letters. These findings indicate the need for a systematic and intensive religious literacy program to help students improve their maharah qira'ah skills. Additionally, a more personalized teaching approach is necessary to address the specific challenges students face in reading the Qur'an.
