The government conducts character education programs through the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project. This program refers to presidential regulation No. 87 of 2017 concerning the direction of character education. However, there are still gaps in the implementation of character education for the Strengthening the Profile of Pancasila Students. This difficulty arises because there is no measurable program. So a valid program is needed to support this program. The outbound experiential learning program can be used to support the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project. The method used in this study is the design thinking method. The result of this study is an outbound experiential learning-based program to support the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project for grades 1-2 of elementary schools
Exploring Translanguaging Practices in Indonesian Education
Authors: Nurhayati
Published: October 2024

The aim of this paper is to elucidate a comprehensive perspective on translanguaging practices in Indonesian education by reviewing empirical literature published in scientific journals. There have been debates on how different languages should be treated in a language learning class especially in EFL classroom context, where students have limited access to target language use and exposure outside the classroom. This study involved 5 ELT teachers and 10 secondary students by collecting data through observations, interviews, and questionnaire. Teachers and students have the benefit of translanguaging practices in EFL classrooms, yet it should be taken into account that L1 should be adopted judiciously. They translanguage using English, Indonesian, and local languages. They have voiced their agreement to the implementation of translanguaging as pedagogy since it positively impacts EFL teaching and learning. However, few teachers have contrasting views about this voice. Future research should focus on investigating translanguaging through experimental research design or pedagogical intervention in EFL classrooms whose students are coming from multiple linguistic backgrounds. The implications of the practice of translanguaging at Indonesian Education are effective and optimal to help students as a new strategy in learning English as foreign language because it can be used to motivate and analyze students' problems in mastering English as a foreign language.

Authors: Dewi Sri Hastuti  , Safa'at Yulianto
Published: October 2024

The Food Security Index is a measure of indicators to produce a composite value that reflects the status of food security in a region. Food security plays an important role in sustainable development, including food availability, environmental preservation and economic balance, as well as being the basis for economic growth, preventing poverty and inequality. In Indonesia, with an estimated population growth of 430 million people in 2050, the challenge of meeting food needs is increasing. Indonesia's commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) includes efforts to end hunger and promote sustainable agriculture. This research aims to apply spatial regression analysis to the Provinces of Papua and West Papua to determine the best model and significant factors that influence the Food Security Index in the region in order to identify the challenges faced by the region in calculating the food availability of its people as well as assist in developing efforts to overcome them. Five predictor variables were used with the assumption that they have a significant influence on the Food Security Index. This research examines the spatial regression equation using the SAR, SEM and SARMA regional approaches. The results obtained showed that the selected SEM model with a p-value of 0.0082581 was appropriate for identifying the dependence of spatial effects on Food Security Index in Papua Province and West Papua Province. Life Expectancy at Birth, Prevalence of Stunting Toddlers, Percentage of Poor Population, Open Unemployment Rate, and Average Length of Life are significant factors that influence the Food Security Index in Papua Province and West Papua spatially.

Authors: Roshafara Fauziah
Published: October 2024

Indonesia is an agricultural country where the majority of the population work as farmers and one of the humongous commodities produced is rice. Rice is a very important commodity for the Indonesian people, because it is the main food of them. This is why rice production in Indonesia is the big concern to the government, including of the average rice prices at milling level. The fluctuative of the rice prices will be affect to the purchasing power of the people. One of the efforts that can be made to prepare a policy to increase people's purchasing power of the rice is by forecasting. This study used SVR to modeling the average rice prices using 114 datasets obtained from January 2013 to June 2023, then evaluating its performance using Mean Absoute Percetage Error (MAPE). The best model formed from a linear kernel with parameters ε = 0.078 and C = 3.1. The model produced the smallest MAPE value of 2.32% in testing data and 1.2% in training data which also less than 10% meaning that the performance of the model to forecast the average price of rice is very high.

Consumer-Directed Health Care and the Chronically Ill
Authors: Jacobi John
Published: October 2024

Insurance plans with consumer-controlled spending accounts are advocated as tools for reducing health costs and empowering consumers. This Article describes their recent development and argues that they are likely to fail. Instead of focusing on the small number of consumers with chronic illnesses who account for the bulk of health spending they focus on the majority of relatively well consumers. This Article proposes market-based and regulatory changes focused on high-cost patients. To best serve cost and quality goals, health finance responsibility should be divided between consumers and their employers for predictable and routine costs, and government for chronic and catastrophic costs.
Fair Representation on Juries in the Eastern District of Michigan: Analyzing Past Efforts and Recommending Future Action
Authors: Lievense Andrew
Published: October 2024

This Note builds on past recommendations to reform jury selection systems to make juries more representative of the community. Juries representing a fair cross section of the community are both a statutory and constitutional requirement, as well as a policy goal. How a judicial district designs and implements its jury selection system is important to meeting this requirement.

Part I of this Note analyzes the history and development of the representativeness interest on juries, explains how the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan attempted to meet this interest in the 1980s and 1990s, and reports and addresses the current demographic information of jurors at two stages of the Eastern District's selection system. Part II comments on prior proposals for reform of the jury selection system, and makes three proposals for reform: (1) improving the source lists from which jurors are drawn; (2) improving the jury questionnaire; and (3) if still necessary, increasing the representation levels of underrepresented groups on petit juries by decreasing their representation on grand juries. Part III analyzes potential constitutional and practical objections to the grand jury/petit jury reform.
For Whom the School Bell Tolls but Not the Statute of Limitations: Minors and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
Authors: Daggett Lynn , Zirkel Perry , Gurysh LeeAnn
Published: October 2024

This Article explores whether claims under the federal special education statute should be tolled on account of minority. Adult disabled students typically assert this type of tolling claim when alleging statutory violations dating back ten or more years, when they were minors. However this tolling claim is decided, there may be undesired results. First, even if the student has a very strong case, the merits are never reached if the court dismisses the hearing request as untimely. Second, if the hearing request is timely and the case proceeds to the merits, the student must remain in her current educational placement, potentially at great cost, during the lengthy IDEA hearing and appeals process as mandated by the IDEA's "stay put" provision. Moreover, the school may face difficulties defending the claim on the merits because under the IDEA, schools must allow parents and adult students to request destruction of their special education records to the extent the records are not currently required in order to provide services. Finally, unique challenges arise for schools because parents help develop their child's special education program. Accordingly, schools rely on both the parents' approval of the educational program, as well as the parents' choice not to request a due process hearing for their minor child. The IDEA specifically assigns the right to make this decision to the parents of minor students, and not the minor students themselves, as part of the IDEA's panoply of procedural safeguards.

Congress first addressed statute of limitations issues under the IDEA in the 2004 amendments. This Article surveys the relevant case law on whether to "borrow" tolling provisions from state statutes and reveals great variation among the courts. Specifically, the courts vary in their adherence to Supreme Court precedent, their application of this precedent, and their conclusions about whether tolling on account of minority should apply in IDEA disputes. The Article concludes that, because of the unique role the IDEA assigns to parents, the correct approach under the pre-2004 amendments is not to toll claims for minors. The Article then examines the new IDEA language, which creates explicit statutes of limitation, but does not explicitly address the issue of tolling for minor students. Consequently, in future litigation, students and parents are likely to claim that tolling for minors should be judicially read into the IDEA's new statutes of limitations. However, this Article concludes, through an application of the Supreme Court's guidance in this area, that a tolling rule for legal minors should not be read into the IDEA's new statutes of limitation. Tolling for minors is inconsistent with congressional intent as evidenced by the pre-2004 amendments analysis, and further strengthened by the new amendments. Finally, the consequences of tolling are harsher than those of not tolling.
Not Enough of a Minority?: Arab Americans and the Language Assistance Provisions (Section 203) of the Voting Rights Act
Authors: Abdelall Brenda
Published: October 2024

With the Voting Rights Act set to expire in 2007, debate has ensued regarding the protections it provides for minority groups. Section 203 of the Act protects language minorities, but under these protections, only four minority groups are afforded bilingual access to voting materials. This Note argues that the Act is imperative to the protection of minority voters, especially those belonging to a language minority group. This Note further argues that not only should the Voting Rights Act be renewed, but § 203 should be revised to include Arab Americans. The Note focuses on the Arab American community because it is one language minority group that is not protected under the Voting Rights Act. Furthermore, there are several barriers to bilingual access under § 203. This Note explores these barriers and advocates revision of § 203 so that all language minorities may be afforded the full protections of the Voting Rights Act.

Published: October 2024

Introducing a project approach as a tool for ensuring the flexibility and adaptability of enterprises in a turbulent market environment is necessary for increasing business sustainability. The project approach allows enterprises to adapt to changes faster, reduce risks, and improve management efficiency. The modern market environment is characterized by high levels of uncertainty and turbulent change, necessitating the search for new business management approaches. Traditional management methods, focused on stability, often need to provide the flexibility and adaptability required for enterprises to survive in turbulent conditions. This article substantiates the role of the project-based approach as an effective tool for enhancing organizations’ ability to respond quickly to changes in the external environment, reduce risks, and improve management efficiency. The analysis demonstrates that the project-based approach promotes organizational flexibility, fosters innovation, and optimizes resource allocation — critical factors for the successful operation of enterprises in unstable market conditions. However, implementing this approach is accompanied by challenges, such as resistance to change and difficulties in project coordination. The article also explores various project management models, including hybrid approaches that combine the strengths of traditional and agile methodologies. The conclusions emphasize the need for further research focused on integrating the project-based approach with other management tools and studying the impact of corporate culture on the success of its implementation. The application of various models within the project approach framework allows organizations to respond more effectively to the challenges of the turbulent market, combining stability and predictability with the necessary flexibility and adaptability. Keywords: project, project-based approach, entrepreneurship, adaptability, flexibility, hybrid project models, turbulent environment.
On Locally Symmetric Polynomial Metrics: Riemannian and Finslerian surfaces
Authors: Vincze Csaba , Olah Mark , Nagy Abris
Published: October 2024

In the paper we investigate locally symmetric polynomial metrics in special cases of Riemannian and Finslerian surfaces. The Riemannian case will be presented by a collection of basic results (regularity of second root metrics) and formulas up to Gauss curvature. In case of Finslerian surfaces we formulate necessary and sufficient conditions for a locally symmetric fourth root metric in 2D to be positive definite. They are given in terms of the coefficients of the polynomial metric to make checking the positive definiteness as simple and direct as possible. Explicit examples are also presented. The situation is more complicated in case of spaces of dimension more than two. Some necessary conditions and an explicit example are given for a positive definite locally symmetric polynomial metric in 3D. Computations are supported by the MAPLE mathematics software (LinearAlgebra).

Deep learning algorithms for predicting routes of snowplows in European cities
Authors: Sydorchuk V.
Published: October 2024

Most cities are faced with annual snowfall but are finding it difficult to deal with their snow plowing activities. Even though winter road maintenance has been studied for many decades, most of the papers do not present models that can be scaled up to allow for incorporation of side constraints that are often met in practical applications. Subject of the paper: Comparison of deep learning algorithms for forecasting snowplow routes in European cities in terms of spatial analysis, routing and traffic flow. The study focuses on extending neural networks including Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Graph Neural Network (GNN) to overcome the problematics of snowplow in urban setting. Temporal and spatial data are incorporated using sophisticated models such as Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolutional Networks (STGCNs) using examples that capture the capacity to control the changes in the snowplow routes in reaction to the real-time traffic flow and weather information. The report also looks at how transformer models among other emerging technologies could be harnessed to improve predictive accuracy as well as efficiency. Comparisons made to these other methods evaluating deep learning methods’ benefits and drawbacks and their application to urban infrastructure and traffic flow. The results, therefore, point out that integrating these complicated formulas can go a long way in enhancing the efficiency and safety of snowplowing in the European cities to create better lit and safer transport networks

Agricultural employment in Czechia: The role of family farms and geographical conditions
Authors: Zavadil Tomáš , Jančák Vít
Published: October 2024

In developed countries, agriculture employs a very small percentage of the population. Most agricultural jobs are located in rural areas. This article’s goal is to examine agriculture’s role as an employer in rural areas in Czechia with a focus on the differences between family and non-family farms. Mainly qualitative data were used. The analysis is based on 42 semi-structured interviews with farmers from three model areas. The results of the research showed that agriculture has a minor role in creating a large number of jobs in rural areas. Nevertheless, for rural areas in Czechia, agriculture is important for providing non-financial benefits for the inhabitants, for example, by creating jobs close to the place of living or providing less stressful jobs in an outdoor environment. Also, according to the results, family farms, when compared to non-family farms, rarely create jobs for employees outside the farming family.
Enhancing Global Sustainable Higher Education Through Sustainability Window Approach
Authors: Gichuru Eutychus Ngotho
Published: October 2024

The sustainability window approach began as a model that could explain the way to sustainable economic development. This theory places emphasis on ecological, economic and social linkages for making comprehensive analysis and policy towards United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. It identifies four theoretically sustainable paths; two associated with economic growth and the others requiring growth conditional or strict adherence to environmental and social criteria. Many studies confirm that higher education institutions have not been able to completely embrace the concept of sustainability window approach. The paper asserts that these are the most effective ways through which global higher education establishments can achieve sustainability: well-being of society, environmental protection, low consumption, and limited social usage. Finally, it concludes by calling on high education institutions to incorporate sustainability window and integrate it with triple bottom line and responsible management education approaches. The paper argues that in order to determine whether such a change might be suitable in different settings, it is recommended that we test this revised framework using empirical evidence
Institutional Mechanisms for Enhancing Production of Doctoral Research Outputs at Makerere University
Authors: Deboru Florence , Etomaru Irene
Published: October 2024

In the contemporary knowledge society, research production is being re-purposed in terms of not just its academic value, but also its wider societal value. As such, doctoral research ought to be produced in the context of application. Therefore, universities have a responsibility to enhance the uptake and use of doctoral research outputs. This necessitates institutional mechanisms for enhancing the production of doctoral research outputs for uptake and use beyond academia. We examined the institutional mechanisms for enhancing production of doctoral research outputs at Makerere University using the research knowledge infrastructure (RKI) framework as the analytical lens. This was in light of the dismal uptake and use of research produced at Makerere University by students and staff. We used qualitative single case study research design. We collected data through interviewing and review of documents. We interviewed 10 doctoral program coordinators, three managers of research and graduate training and 13 PhD students we selected purposively. We reviewed seven institutional documents pertaining graduate training at Makerere University: two plans, three policies, one framework and one guideline. We used thematic data analysis to make sense of the data. The findings revealed that due to policy-practice gaps and funding constraints, mechanisms to enhance doctoral research production to facilitate uptake and use of doctoral research outputs beyond the academia were not adequately integrated into doctoral research training. This was shown by the lack of mechanisms to enhance doctoral research commissioning and execution, and gaps in priority setting. Opportunities for productive interactions between doctoral researchers and potential users were missed. As such, doctoral research outputs largely remained within the scholarly community. We recommend that the university should establish interface structures and co-creation spaces to leverage doctoral research commissioning, execution and priority setting to facilitate the uptake and use of doctoral research outputs beyond the scientific community.

Published: October 2024

Makala hii inatathmini uhusika wa wahusika katika tenzi za Kiswahii kwa kuegemea utenzi mmoja bulibuli: Utenzi wa Mikidadi na Mayasa. Utenzi huu ulitungwa na Saidi Abdallah Masudi el Buhry aliyekuwa mkazi wa Pemba. Ingawa Masudi aliishi Pemba kwa muda, alihamishwa kwenda Mtang’ata, kilomita kumi kusini mwa Tanga alipohudumu kama gavana wa utawala wa Kimazrui. Bwana Masud alikuwa mshairi mtajika kwa tungo zake nyingi. Utenzi huu ni mmojawapo wa kazi zake zilizotia fora katika janibu ya Waswahili wakati huo. Allen (1971) anasema kuwa utenzi wa Mikidadi na Mayasa unahusu mashujaa wa wakati wa mtume Mohammed (SAW) na baada ya kufariki kwake. Kipengele cha wahusika ni muhimu katika kutunga kazi yoyote ya kifasihi. Kinashirikishwa na vipengele vingine vya kifani ili kuwezesha mtunzi kutoa maudhui au ujumbe wake. Watunzi wa kazi ya kifasihi huwajenga wahusika kisanaa ili waweze kuwakilisha vipengele vingi katika maisha ya jamii wanayotungia. Watunzi pia hutumia mbinu mbalimbali kuwasawri wahusika kutegemea tajriba yao ya kisanii pamoja na utanzu unaoshughulikiwa. Makala hii inafafanua baadhi ya mbinu zilizotumiwa na mtunzi kuwajenga wahusika wa aina mbalimbali waliojitokeza katika Utenzi wa Mikidadi na Mayasa.

Aluminum 6061, a commonly used metal, demands critical attention in welding due to its mechanical properties influencing structural strength. The welding of aluminum 6061 is affected by various factors, including air velocity conditions during the welding process. This research objectives to analyze Vickers hardness values in TIG-welded Aluminum 6061. The research focuses on TIG welding of aluminum 6061, analyzing the impact of air velocity variations in the welding environment on hardness values. The experimental design considers air velocity variations at 3.6 km/h, 4 km/h, and 5 km/h during TIG welding of aluminum 6061. Specimens from each research variable undergo Vickers hardness testing to analyze the correlation between air velocity variations and Vickers hardness values. Research findings reveal specimen 1 with an average hardness of 96 HV, specimen 2 at 105 HV, and specimen 3 at 110 HV. These differences depict hardness variations among specimens, emphasizing the complexity of air velocity variations' effect on welded joints' hardness. Hardness testing results consistently show the lowest hardness values at point number 2, while the highest values for specimens 1 and 2 are at point number 6. However, specimen 3 exhibits the highest hardness at point number 8. The research concludes that air velocity variations in the welding environment significantly impact hardness values in the welding results. Vickers hardness testing indicates an increase in hardness values with increasing air velocity, highlighting a proportional relationship between air velocity variations and hardness values

An essential component of an automobile's air intake system, the throttle body controls airflow during combustion by acting as an idle speed control mechanism. Making ensuring the throttle body is operating properly is crucial to keeping the engine running at its best. The Fast Fourier Transform vibration analysis is one technique used for this (FFT). A an LCGC Ayla 1000 cc vehicle's throttle body and engine underwent vibration testing with rotational rates set to 750 rpm, 1000 rpm, 1500 rpm, and 2000 rpm. Vibration responses were measured using an accelerometer sensor coupled to an FFT analyzer, and Matlab was used for analysis. The throttle body had anomalous frequency readings at 1977 Hz with an amplitude of 0.03171 m/s2, according to the test results. On the other hand, the frequency value at 1410 Hz with an amplitude of 0.03435 m/s2 was observed under normal circumstances. Similar to this, abnormal frequency values with an amplitude of 0.02378 m/s2 were found on the engine at 1493 Hz, whereas normal frequency values with the same amplitude were found at 1712 Hz. These results point to incomplete combustion as the cause of the increased vibration

Indonesia's drought and water crisis problems have grown significantly in importance in recent years, especially in light of the country's fast population expansion, urbanization, and growing awareness of the effects of climate change. By 2040, there may be a clean water crisis in every region along Java's north coast, from Banten to Surabaya, according to projections made by the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI). The water crisis could be a major worldwide concern and will be a highly complicated issue. One approach to resolving the water shortage is to design an air-to-water converter device. The purpose of this research is to design a device that can efficiently and effectively convert air into water through condensation processes. The design will be based on the VDI 2221 Method. The rationale behind selecting the VDI 2221 Method is that it is a methodical approach to design that can help a designer generate and guide multiple design options. The primary mechanism of this apparatus is condensation, which turns air into dew points. The author utilized Solidworks 2020 to create the air-to-water conversion device. Through the stages of VDI 2221, the finest design outcomes were obtained from this design. The air-to-water converter mechanism in this design is constructed by version 2, which was chosen as the best option. Based on ASTM A36 material, theoretical calculations on the frame produced a safety factor of 1.45 and a maximum stress of 1.72414 × 108 N/m2. Based on the turbine shaft calculation, the maximum stress of 1.07235 × 108 N/m2 and the safety factor of 2.57379 were obtained using Aluminum 6061 material
