ПОЛЕМІЧНИЙ ВИМІР ШЕВЧЕНКІАНИ В ЧАСОПИСІ «ДІЛО» КІНЦЯ XIX CТ.
Authors: ҐАБОР Василь
Published: January 2025

У статті проаналізовано малодосліджений аспект галицької шевченкіани кінця XIX ст. ‒ полемічний вимір публікацій на сторінках львівського часопису «Діло». З’ясовано, що постать Т. Шевченка і його творчість осмислювалася й оцінювалася із позицій двох суспільно-політичних напрямів: народовецького, себто національного, і москвофільського, фактично проросійського, які були діаметрально протилежними за ідеологією, тому між ними тривала гостра полеміка. Водночас на шпальтах «Діла» висувалися чіткі вимоги як до тогочасних критиків, так і до критики загалом. Основні критерії – це дотримання принципів «рôвноваги и супокôю», крізь призму яких проаналізовані публікації про життя і творчість Т. Шевченка авторства як представників народовецького (Іван Франко), так і москвофільського напрямів (о. Василій Курдидик та Григорій Купчанко). Однак у полемічному запалі й самі критики порушували власні «правила», що пожвавлювало публікації, а поєднання основних критеріїв аналізу з публіцистичною наснаженістю текстів дали змогу змалювати живий образ Т. Шевченка і закласти міцні підвали галицької шевченкіани кінця XIX ст.

NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 2 regulates the anti-apoptotic protein baculoviral inhibitor of apoptosis repeat containing 3 and affects drug resistance in gastric cancer
Authors: Xu Yanan , Wang Yanbo , Zhao Wenyue , Liu Fengli
Published: January 2025

Objective:

Cisplatin (DDP)-based chemotherapy medications are frequently used as the initial line of treatment for cancer patients, including those with stomach cancer. At present, DDP resistance is a frequent problem in chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer (GC). This study aimed to investigate the function of NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 2 (NPC2) in GC cells.

Material and Methods:

The expression of NPC2 and baculoviral inhibitor of apoptosis repeat containing 3 (BIRC3) in gastric epithelial cells-1, BGC823, and BGC823/DDP cells was determined by Western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, respectively. Subsequently, the proliferative capacity and viability of BGC823 cells were assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol2-yl)-2.5-diphenyl-2-tetrazolium bromide, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end labeling assay, and colony-formation assay. Finally, the association of NPC2 and BIRC3 with the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) pathway was determined by Western Blot.

Results:

In GC cells, NPC2 transcription increased, and DDP-resistant cells showed higher NPC2 expression levels than their parental cells (P < 0.001). In terms of mechanism, compared with parental cells, overexpressing NPC2, DDP-resistant cells showed resistance to DDP. Knocking down NPC2 increased the apoptotic response of DDP-resistant cells to DDP and blocked the cancer cells resistant to DDP exhibiting BIRC3, thereby promoting GC cell apoptosis (P < 0.001). Importantly, involving NF-κB signaling overturned the NPC2-mediated DDP resistance.

Conclusion:

NPC2 regulated BIRC3 and affected drug resistance in GC. Therefore, NPC2 and BIRC3 may be new targets for cancer patient treatment following DDP therapy and act as roadblocks to overcome chemotherapy resistance in GC.
Hypoxia-induced S-phase kinase-interacting protein 2 knockdown repressed the progression of melanoma through extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 pathway
Authors: Hu Yong
Published: January 2025

Objective:

Hypoxia intensely drives the development of malignant tumors, including skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM). S-phase kinase-interacting protein 2 (SKP2) is known to participate in the progression of human tumors. The purpose of this study is to explore whether SKP2 acts as a hypoxic response gene during SKCM progression.

Material and Methods:

SKP2 expression in SKCM tissues was analyzed using The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Anoxic experiments were conducted to simulate an anoxic environment. 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine and colony formation assays were used to evaluate SKCM cell growth. Scratch healing and Transwell assays were applied to measure the migration and invasion abilities of SKCM cells. An immunoblotting assay was used to detect the levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 pathway proteins. In addition, the ERK-specific agonist LM22B-10 was added to confirm whether the ERK1/2 signaling pathway is required for SKP2-mediated SKCM progression under hypoxic conditions.

Results:

SKP2 was significantly upregulated in SKCM tissues and closely related to adverse outcomes in patients. Moreover, SKP2 levels increased in SKCM cells under normoxic conditions and further elevated under hypoxic conditions. SKP2 deficiency led to the reduced proliferation, migration, and invasion potential of cells under hypoxic conditions. Mechanically, SKP2 silencing blocked the ERK1/2 pathway in hypoxic cells, and the activation of the ERK1/2 pathway rescued the suppression effect of SKP2 on the hypoxia-induced progression of SKCM.

Conclusion:

SKP2 deficiency repressed the hypoxic-induced progression of SKCM through the ERK1/2 pathway. This novel discovery regarding the SKP2/ERK1/2 axis might provide new insights into the pathogenesis of SKCM.
Silencing fatty acid-binding protein 4 improved sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction through anti-apoptotic and antioxidant effects by mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathway
Authors: Qiu Zhilei , Zhou Kexing , Qi Qinyao , Chen Wei
Published: January 2025

Objective:

One of the main complications of sepsis that is linked to poor clinical outcomes and high mortality is sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD). Fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) is a protein that is expressed in macrophages and adipose tissue and is involved in inflammation and apoptosis in various pathological processes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of FABP4 in SIMD.

Material and Methods:

The H9c2 cell model of myocardial dysfunction induced by septicemia was established by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Measurements of cell viability, apoptosis, reactive oxygen species levels, mitochondrial activity, and proinflammatory factor expression were used to assess FABP4’s involvement in SIMD. In addition, the expression level of key proteins in the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway was analyzed using Western blot. Finally, the combination of AZD-8055 further demonstrated the possibility of mTOR as a therapeutic target for SIMD.

Results:

Silencing FABP4 expression drastically increased H9c2 cell viability and mitochondrial function. In addition, by upregulating B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and downregulating Bcl-2 associated X protein, FABP4 silencing improved LPS-induced anti-apoptosis of H9c2 cells. Finally, silencing FABP4 alleviated SIMD through the mTOR signaling pathway. However, the therapeutic effect was inhibited when FABP4 silencing was combined with the mTOR inhibitor AZD-8055.

Conclusion:

Silencing FABP4 alleviates LPS-induced inflammatory response and apoptosis in H9c2 cells and enhances mitochondrial function through the mTOR signaling pathway.

Authors: Surendran Sumith , Deodhar Jayita , Poojary Shamali Srinivas , Singh Pallavi , Jayaseelan Prarthna
Published: January 2025

Objectives:

Research on palliative care (PC) consultation and its outcomes in the emergency department (ED) within a low-and middle-income country (LMIC) setting is limited. This study aimed to evaluate PC consultation outcomes, symptom burden and management, and referral patterns in patients with advanced cancer referred for specialist PC (SPC) in the ED of an urban tertiary care cancer centre in India.

Materials and Methods:

Data of adult advanced cancer patients referred for SPC services in the ED between August 2017 and June 2019 were retrospectively screened. Patients’ sociodemographic features, clinical characteristics, ED visit-related data, and treatment-related data were documented. Multinomial logistic regression, incorporating significant univariate factors, was performed to analyse the independent predictive factors of consultation outcomes in the ED.

Results:

Of the 644 consultations, 366 (56.8%) were discharged home, 166 (25.8%) were admitted to various settings (hospital/respite care/hospice), 74 (11.5%) died in the ED, and 38 (5.9%) were unresponsive upon arrival. Sex, performance status (PS), gastrointestinal and cardiovascular events, pain, cancer progression, and receipt of pharmacological treatment were predictive of consultation outcomes. Male patients and those with poor PS were more likely to be admitted to the ED, whereas patients with poor PS and cancer progression were more likely to die. Discharge rates were higher among females, those with gastrointestinal symptoms and pain, and those receiving pharmacological treatment.

Conclusion:

More than 50% of the patients referred for SPC consultations were discharged. In addition, we also identified predictors for each consultation outcome in the LMIC-ED setting. Future research should investigate advanced care planning and survival analyses in comparable ED settings.
Translation and Linguistic Validation of the Multidimensional Dyspnoea Profile into Telugu in a Palliative Care Setting
Authors: Dufberg Lovisa , Kökritz Maria , Palat Gayatri , Ekström Magnus , Brun Eva , Segerlantz Mikael
Published: January 2025

Objectives:

Dyspnea, or breathlessness, is a frequent and distressing symptom among patients with heart and lung diseases, particularly in advanced cancer stages, where it affects up to 90% of lung cancer cases. This symptom considerably diminishes quality of life, leading to physical deconditioning, increased levels of anxiety and depression, repeated hospitalizations, and elevated mortality rates. The Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile (MDP), developed in 2011, allows assessment of both the sensory experience and emotional response to dyspnea. While the MDP has been translated into multiple languages, a Telugu version has not been developed, underscoring the need for a validated tool in this under-resourced and primarily illiterate patient population in palliative care. Our aim was to translate and linguistically validate the MDP for use in Telugu-speaking populations in an Indian palliative care setting, where illiteracy rates are high.

Materials and Methods:

The MDP was translated and adapted into Telugu through collaboration with the Mapi Institute, which specializes in culturally relevant translation and validation of patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures. A structured translation process included both forward and backward translations by two certified independent translators. The translated version was refined through feedback from two Indian palliative care physicians and four healthcare workers. In-depth interviews with 24 Telugu-speaking cancer patients were conducted to evaluate the tool’s clarity and suitability for this patient population.

Results:

The Telugu version of the MDP was adapted specifically for palliative care settings that serve socioeconomically disadvantaged populations with high levels of illiteracy. The translation adhered closely to international PRO standards set by the Mapi Institute. The MDP facilitated healthcare providers’ understanding of dyspnea’s impact on this group of palliative care patients.

Conclusion:

Applying the MDP in a palliative care context improved clinicians’ insights into factors that contribute to dyspnea. However, given the instrument’s length, selective use of its sections may be more practical in time-constrained settings.

Published: January 2025

Processing ultra-high molecular weight polymers presents significant experimental challenges due to their high viscosity, which requires elevated shear rates and consequently increases energy demands. Here, we explored the role of the geometry of nanoparticles – spheres, rods, and tetrapods – in controlling the effective viscosity of polymer nanocomposites. Intriguingly, our combined experiments and molecular dynamics simulations reveal a significant decrease in the viscosity of composites with tetrapod nanoparticles, without compromising mechanical or thermal integrity. On the other hand, the composites with spherical particles and rods exhibit an increase in its viscosity at the same level of loading. We show that the inner curvatures of the tetrapods impose strong physical confinement introducing an entropic cost for polymers to access this space. The inaccessible volume creates polymer packing frustration around tetrapod surfaces, which, in turn, increases their mobility and decreases the overall viscosity of the composite. Nanotetrapods prove to be effective flow promoters while preserving good dispersion within a polymer melt, offering significant potential for advanced polymer processing applications.
Hydration of a Polyaromatic Hydrocarbon in Anionic Perylene-Water Clusters
Authors: Salzmann Heinrich , WEBER J. Mathias
Published: January 2025

We present infrared photodissociation spectra of hydrated perylene anion clusters with up to four water molecules, as well as electronic structure calculations based on density functional theory. Water molecules form weak hydrogen bonds to the system of the perylene anion. For clusters with more than one water molecule, water-water hydrogen bonds are formed, which are generally stronger than water- hydrogen bonds. The resulting water networks exist as water subclusters on the surface of the carbon frame of perylene. We observe temperature dependent dynamic effects, which highlight large amplitude motions of the water network and the shallowness of the potential energy surfaces governing the structures of these clusters.

Authors: Szymańska Aleksandra , Nowicki Mateusz , De Subhabrata , Krupa Barbara , Szyling Jakub , Walkowiak Jedrzej
Published: January 2025

The commercially available and easy to handle manganese complexes Mn(CO)5Br and Mn2(CO)10 were found to effectively catalyze the hydroboration of ketones under mild conditions providing after hydrolysis secondary alcohols. These simple catalysts showed great tolerance to different functional groups. Moreover, the reaction proceeded with high chemoselectivity toward C=O in the presence of ester, nitrile, nitro group, or double C=C bond. The proposed procedure enables fast and efficient synthesis of O-borylated products, which are easily hydrolyzed in one-pot manner to various aryl and alkyl alcohols (even unsaturated ones) with excellent yields. Therefore, the developed procedure is very competitive to other Mn catalytic systems, which required long preparation steps, application of structurally and electronically advanced ligands, and oxygen and moisture free conditions.
Can GPA and Degree Type Predict Success on the Entry-Level Registration Examination for Dietitians?
Authors: Zechariah Sunitha , Doley Jennifer , Moore Nicole , Chong Raymond
Published: January 2025

Purpose: Although program directors consider several measures when assessing dietetic program applicants, grade point average (GPA) is often the most highly weighted. However, its ability to predict success in the entry-level registration examination for dietitians (RD exam) is unknown. Our objective was to determine how well GPA predicted first-time success in the RD exam. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of the associations among academic variables: pre-admission GPA (Overall- GPA), didactic program in dietetics GPA (DPD-GPA), and the type of degree (bachelor's versus master’s) with first-time RD exam scores across seven cohorts from three DI programs (N = 408). Results: The results indicated a low correlation between the academic predictor variables and the first-time success on the RD exam (r = − 0.15 to 0.65). Canonical correlation showed a low degree relationship between the predictor and criterion variables (Rc = 0.31). The averaged standardized z-test between the variables (-2.96) failed to classify the prediction rate as having passed or failed the RD exam. Receiver operating curve analyses showed low sensitivity to both Overall-GPA and DPD-GPA. The highest likelihood ratios produced cut-off Overall-GPA and DPD-GPA values of 2.88 and 2.99, respectively. Conclusion: The results indicate that the Overall-GPA, DPD-GPA, and type of degree were poor predictors of success in the RD exam on the first attempt. We conclude that program directors should not substantially rely on these academic variables to assess applicants. Nevertheless, GPA may still be used as a way to screen applicants with 3.0 as a cut-off score and with no more than 5% of weighting as part of the program admission criteria. Future research studies are needed to assess the predictive validity of other pass rate factors.
Perceptions of Assessment Processes, Enhanced Competency Integration, and Practice Preparation Among Future Education Model Graduate Program Alumni
Authors: Wiley Katherine , Rothpletz-Puglia Pamela , Byham-Gray Laura , Tomesko Jennifer
Published: January 2025

Background: Competency-based assessment (CBE) focuses on applying knowledge and skills to progress from novice to expert in clinical areas. The Future Education Model Graduate Program (FEMGP) incorporates CBE to meet enhanced competencies for nutrition and dietetics. Objective: This study explored FEMGP graduates’ perceptions of assessment methods and practices and perceptions of enhanced competency (EC) integration and preparedness for entry-level practice. Methods: This was a basic descriptive qualitative study. Ninety-eight graduates from one FEMGP in the northeastern US were recruited via email to participate in one of 13 virtual focus groups from April-June of 2023. Directed content analysis was conducted with NVivo (version 14.0). Results: Seventeen graduates participated (15 female, 2 male). Barriers to weekly formative assessment practices included: difficulty interpreting the ECs, and time-consuming assessments. The weekly formative assessments were perceived as helpful and identified areas that needed improvement or skills to focus on for the next week. Participants felt they integrated informatics and nutrition intervention ECs into entry-level practice, but were not as confident about meeting the management, leadership, or pharmacology ECs. Conclusions: Graduates of this FEMGP felt prepared for entry-level practice and noted that the formative and summative assessments were helpful. Future student assessment processes may benefit from changes such as less frequent assessments, more in-depth training for preceptors on the EC interpretation, and the importance of providing effective feedback to students with an experiential learning component.
Registered Dietitian Nutritionists’ Knowledge, Confidence, and Experiences with Treating Trafficked Individuals: A Call for Interprofessional Continuing Education
Authors: Cooper Christen , McRoberts Lydia
Published: January 2025

Background: Victims of human trafficking (HT) frequently face malnutrition, dehydration, low food security, and infections. When identified, victims of HT are normally treated with interprofessional team (IPT) care that often excludes Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs). Although RDNs are trained to treat these conditions, they may lack knowledge, confidence, and skills, for working with this population, as well as the opportunities to work on such IPTs. To date, no study has explored RDNs’ knowledge of or work with individuals who are trafficked. Objective: To explore RDNs’: HT knowledge, confidence in the ability to work with victims of HT, and barriers to working with victims of HT on IPTs. Study Design, Setting, Participants: This was a cross-sectional study involving a 43-question survey completed by RDNs (n=241) working in a variety of settings. Measurable Outcome/Analysis: Descriptive statistics, chi-square analyses, and ANOVA were used to determine RDNs’ knowledge of HT; level of confidence to assist victims; experience with victims; barriers to working with this population; and preferred methods of HT professional development. Results: Participants were largely female (97%), white (97%), and over half had 10+ years of practice. More than two-thirds of participants (37%) indicated they were “not at all” confident in caring for victims of HT. Those aged 30-44 and those with 3-5 years of practice scored highest on HT knowledge. Barriers to working with victims of HT included a lack of HT education, known cases in the workplace, and full patient histories. RDNs indicated they desired more HT education and prefer webinars as a continuing education modality.
Anatomists’ views on cadaver and cadaver procurement in medical education
Authors: Turamanlar Ozan , Kaçar Hüma
Published: January 2025

Despite the importance of cadavers in anatomy education, there are a great difficulties in procuring cadavers in Türkiye due to the low quantity of donations. Anatomists have important roles in matters related to cadaver donation. Some of these roles are to explain to students and the public the value of cadavers in medical education and to inform them about cadaver donation. The aim of this study is to investigate anatomists' thoughts about cadavers and their supply. The study was conducted on anatomists who accepted the survey invitation sent from the digital platform. 100 volunteer anatomists participated in the survey. Ethics committee approval was received for the study. Anatomists argue that education with cadavers is a must (92%). Routine dissection is performed in 64% of the institutions to which the participants are affiliated. 78% of anatomists know the legal regulations regarding cadaver procurement, and 67% care about the method of procurement of the studied cadaver. While the participating anatomists found it appropriate to use unclaimed bodies for educational purposes, there was no common opinion among the anatomists in terms of ethics. Anatomists are more willing to recommend cadaver donation to someone they do not know than to donate a cadaver from their own family member. Only 13% of anatomists feel ready for body donation. The survey results show that anatomists have high knowledge and awareness about cadavers and their supply. High awareness has relatively less impact on anatomists' attitudes and behaviors regarding cadaver donation. It was determined that the majority of anatomists who participated in the research did not feel ready to donate cadavers. We think that bringing donation issues to the agenda more through trainings and events can contribute to the perspectives of anatomists.
Peer feedback and ChatGPT-generated feedback on Japanese EFL students’ engagement in a foreign language writing context
Authors: Huang Jerry , Teng Mark Feng
Published: January 2025

In Second Language Acquisition (SLA), affective, behavioral, and cognitive engagements play crucial roles in how learners interact with and process written feedback on their language production. The present study investigates the efficacy of peer feedback versus ChatGPT-generated feedback in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing context. Participants (n = 324) were 1st and 2nd-year undergraduate students at a Japanese university. The peer group (n = 164) received peer feedback, while the ChatGPT group (n = 160) utilized ChatGPT with crafted prompts for feedback. A survey instrument measuring three engagements, i.e., affective, behavioral, and cognitive engagement, was conducted at the end of the semester. Results revealed that all three types of engagements were higher in the ChatGPT group than those in peer feedback group. However, significant differences were suggested in only affective and behavioral engagements, with the difference in cognitive engagement remaining non-significant. The findings suggest that while ChatGPT-generated feedback can be integrated into EFL instruction, its impact on student engagement, particularly affective and behavioral, warrants careful consideration. Pedagogical implications are discussed.
Complementares e excludentes: diálogos sobre imigração alemã e escravidão (Rio Grande do Sul e São Paulo)
Authors: Monsma Karl Martin , Witt Marcos Antônio
Published: January 2025

Imigrantes alemães ao Rio Grande do Sul imperial geralmente se assentavam em colônias agrícolas, ao passo que alemães em São Paulo geralmente trabalhavam nas fazendas ou em obras públicas. Nos dois contextos, alemães prósperos compravam negros escravizados, e os trabalhadores e agricultores alemães encontravam escravizados regularmente. Burlavam-se facilmente as restrições à escravidão nas colônias do RS. Em SP, alemães e escravizados podiam trabalhar nas mesmas projetos de intraestrutura, mas integravam turmas separadas. Os colonos nas fazendas de SP trabalhavam nas mesmas propriedades que negros escravizados, mas os colonos eram contratados, moravam em colônias separados e geralmente eram punidos por multas em vez de castigos corporais. Mesmo assim, muitos colonos comparavam sua situação à escravidão porque sofriam o autoritarismo dos fazendeiros e eram proibidos de se demitir sem pagar suas dívidas. Os colonos do RS reclamavam dos empresários das colônias particulares, mas raramente se comparavam com escravos.

Cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.) is one of the horticultural commodities that needed throughout the year. In certain season, such as the rainy season, production tends to be low due to the low yield of chilies. Therefore, it is important to get the cultivation technology of cayenne pepper outside the season. This research aimed to study growth and yield of two varieties of cayenne pepper grown off-season treated with different concentrations of POMI foliar fertilizer. One experiment was carried out in October 2020 to March 2021 in a dryland of Gumantar Village, Kayangan District, North Lombok Regency. The factors tested were varieties (Sret and Taruna) and POMI foliar fertilizer concentrations (0%, 1.0% and 1.5%). The treatments were arranged using a factorial randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. The results showed that the variety and concentration of POMI leaf fertilizer interacted in affecting the number of flowers and the number of fruits. The highest number of flowers and fruit was produced by Taruna variety which was treated with POMI foliar fertilizer at 1.5% concentration. Taruna variety showed a better growth and yield than Sret while the concentration of POMI foliar fertilizer which produced the best growth and yield was 1.5%. To get high yields in off-season chili cultivation, it is recommended to grow Taruna varieties and be treated with POMI foliar fertilizer with a concentration of 1.5%.

Cayenne pepper is one of the horticultural commodities that its production is low in the rainy season (off-season) due to the high potential for flower abortion and plant disease attacks. This study aimed to determine the effect of manure plus and varieties on the growth and yield of some cayenne pepper varieties planted off- season. The experiment was carried out in the 2020/2021 rainy season in Gumantar Village, Kayangan District, North Lombok Regency. The treatments were arranged using a Split Plot design with three replications. The main plot was manure treatment with 2 treatment levels, with and without manure plus, while as sub-plots were varieties, Taruna, Sret and Mutiara Bumi. The results showed that plant height and number of leaves at the age of 56 DAP and 98 DAP were significantly affected by manure plus treatment, and by  variety too. The effect of varietal treatment showed significantly different on yield variables, such as fruit weight per plant and fruit weight per plot. The highest yield was shown by Taruna variety while Sret and Mutiara Bumi varieties did not show different results. There was an interaction between the treatment of manure and variety on the variable number of flowers, number of fruits and percentage of flower abortion. The best interaction effect occurred in the treatment of Taruna variety treated with manure plus. From the results of this study, it can be suggested to grow Taruna variety treated with manure plus to obtain high yields of cayenne pepper grown off-season on drylands.

This study aims to examine junior high school teachers' perceptions of the Merdeka Teaching Platform (PMM) as an independent learning resource. The research method used is a survey with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through questionnaires and limited interviews. The research subjects were 21 general subject teachers at SMP VIP Pesawat Wates, Kulon Progo. The results showed that most teachers understood the concept and purpose of PMM, but many had not optimally utilized its features. The level of teacher satisfaction with PMM features is high, but there are still some teachers who feel less satisfied. The majority of teachers have used PMM as an independent learning resource, but there are still some who are less independent. Support and facilities provided by schools for PMM utilization are still not fully met. The discussion shows that PMM has not been fully utilized by teachers as an independent learning resource. This is due to several factors, such as teachers' lack of understanding about PMM, lack of support and facilities from the school, and teachers' lack of motivation and awareness to learn independently. In conclusion, PMM has not been fully utilized by junior high school teachers as an independent learning resource. Efforts are needed to improve teachers' understanding of PMM, provide adequate support and facilities, and motivate teachers to learn independently.
