Interactivity's effect on playing versus watching a real-time strategy game: a preliminary experiment
Authors:   Ritsumeikan University, Andersson Shawn
Published: January 2023

Digital Game-based Language Learning (DGBLL) involves playing digital games to learn a language, utilizing game elements inducive to motivation and learning. The field has been gaining attention recently, but applications traditionally only involved users playing the games themselves. Recently, watching gameplay online has become a global sensation, yet its effectiveness for foreign language pedagogy remains unexplored. One significant difference between playing and watching a game is the inclusion or exclusion of physical interactivity, which involves utilizing a controller to manipulate the game. Studies have previously addressed interactivity in games, but predominantly utilize serious games made for educational purposes. This study includes a preliminary experiment testing the effects of physical interactivity of a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) game where participants were assigned player or watcher roles. Eleven (n = 11) participants took part in the study, and a mixed-method approach was utilized for data collection consisting of a vocabulary test, questionnaire, interviews, and researcher observations. The results indicate a slightly higher vocabulary achievement for the watchers, while the players reported greater mental effort toward their task relative to learning English and rated their task at a higher difficulty. Conversely, players expressed better post-treatment attitudes and perceptions of playing games to learn English. Nevertheless, the interviews indicated that having low-skilled players negatively affected the experience of the watchers, and the players felt too busy controlling the game to learn English. Finally, recommendations were made for future follow-up studies. Digital Game-based Language Learning (DGBLL) では、デジタルゲームをプレイすることで、ゲームの要素を利用して言語学習のモチベーションと学習を促進する。これは昨今注目されている分野だが、従来の研究は、ユーザーが自らゲームをプレイするというものであった。一方で最近、オンラインで他者がゲームをプレイしているのを視聴する、いわゆるゲーム実況中継動画の視聴が世界で流行している。しかし、ゲーム視聴と外国語教育におけるその有効性はまだ調査されていない。ゲームをプレイすることと視聴することの大きな違いの1つは、コントローラーを使用してゲームを操作することを含む、物理的な双方向性を含めるか除外するかである。また、これまでの研究ではゲームのインタラクティブ性が研究されてきたが、それには主に教育目的で作成されたserious gamesが利用されている。 本研究では、ゲームの視聴が与える英語学習の影響に着目し、commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) gameをプレイ、または視聴した際に英語学習者に与える物理的な相互作用の影響を調査した。11 名 (n = 11) の参加者を、5人のプレイヤーと6人のウォッチャーに分け、語彙テスト、アンケート、インタビュー、参与観察といった複数のデータ収集を実施した。結果、ウォッチャーの語彙テストの達成度がわずかに高く、その理由として、プレーヤーは、英語の学習に比べてタスクに対する精神的労力が大きく、タスクの難易度が高い点が考えられる。一方、アンケートでは、プレーヤーは、英語学習として英語でゲームをプレイすることに積極的であり、また英語学習効果が高いと回答した。しかし、インタビューでは、ゲームスキルの低いプレーヤーはゲームの制御に忙しく英語学習を十分にできず、ウォッチャーは視聴を退屈だと感じたとの回答があった。最後に、今後のフォローアップ研究のための課題を提示した。 Keywords: game-based language learning, watching gameplay, physical interactivity, language learning
The use of online forums to promote motivation to use English outside of the classroom in Japanese University Students
Authors:   Rikkyo University, Pudelek Jack
Published: January 2023

The aim of this study was to investigate whether online forums, used as a tool for virtual exchange of communication between English learners in different institutions, areas and countries, are beneficial in increasing Japanese University students’ motivation to use English outside the classroom. Online forums or message boards have long been used as a means for people around the world to discuss various topics and interact with each other about subjects they share an interest in. These forums can create lively and varied discussions as users comment on and post questions about other users’ posts. A forum called the International Virtual Exchange (IVE) Project allows students learning English in universities around the world to take part in a 8 week-long online English exchange program, discussing four topics by making posts connected to the topics. The topics are related to sharing information and learning about culture and cultural differences. This paper explores whether this activity increases motivation to communicate in the target language outside of the classroom, either instrumentally through the students striving to complete the immediate practical goals of making their posts and interacting with their peers or integratively through providing opportunities for personal growth and cultural enrichment by learning about different cultures through the medium of English (Gardner & Lambert, 1972) or by nurturing an identity connected to the second language. 本研究では地域・国の英語学習者間の仮想的なコミュニケーション交流のツールとして利用されているオンラインフォーラムが日本の大学生の教室外での英語使用に対するモチベーションを高めるために有益かを調査しました。オンライン・フォーラムや掲示板は、世界中の人々が様々なトピックについて議論し、互いに興味を持つテーマについて交流する手段として、長い間利用されてきました。このようなフォーラムでは、ユーザーが他のユーザーの投稿にコメントしたり、質問を投稿したりすることで、活発で多彩な議論が展開されます。IVE (International Virtual Exchange）プロジェクトと呼ばれるフォーラムでは、世界中の大学で英語を学ぶ学生が8週間のオンライン英語交流プログラムに参加し、4つのトピックに関連した投稿を行いながらディスカッションを行うことができるようになっています。テーマは、情報の共有や文化、文化の違いを学ぶことに関連するものです。本稿では、この活動が教室外でのターゲット言語のコミュニケーションに対するモチベーションを高めるかどうかを調査している。 目先の実用的な目標をクリアしようと努力する学生の道具的な動機付けでしょうか。それとも、英語を媒介として異文化を学び、自己成長や文化的な豊かさを得る機会を提供することで、統合的な動機付け(Gardner & Lambert, 1972)を行うのでしょうか。それとも、第二言語と結びついたアイデンティティを育ませるのでしょうか。 Keywords: Virtual exchange (VE), computer mediated communication (CMC), motivation, learner identity
Self-Access learning and Minecraft: observations and student perceptions
Authors:   Sojo University, Remmerswaal Robert , Dykes Robert
Published: January 2023

Minecraft is an interactive virtual sandbox game that came out in 2011. The authors created a Minecraft server for their students at a private Japanese university to expand the offerings of their Self-Access Learning Center. While Minecraft has been shown to promote communication and collaboration in a structured course, it is unknown if this can be replicated in a less structured scenario. Over the course of a year, students were able to access the server anytime from anywhere. All students who used the server were asked to use an “English Please” mentality. English was not strictly enforced but instead encouraged with a focus on communicative output rather than grammatical competence. The authors designed several events using the community of inquiry framework. Quantitative data was collected in the form of a student survey, recorded event attendance, and server log records. Qualitative data was collected through an open-ended survey, teacher notes and observations, and server chat records. From this data, many students appear to be interested in Minecraft, but only a few were interested in playing Minecraft while using English. Students who used the server regularly appeared to improve their English communication skills. The educational value of the different events is discussed, with group-based events believed to be the most valuable for building a community. Minecraftは、2011年に登場したインタラクティブな仮想サンドボックスゲームである。著者らは、Self-Access Learning Centerの提供内容の拡張を目的とし、日本の私立大学の学生向けにMinecraftのサーバーを作成した。Minecraftは、構造化されたコースでコミュニケーションとコラボレーションを促進することが示されているが、構造化されていないシナリオで再現できるかどうかは不明である。1年間にわたり、学生に対しては時間や場所にとらわれないサーバーへのアクセスを可能にした。サーバーを利用する全学生に対し「English Please」の精神で利用するように求めた。英語は厳格に強制されるのではなく、文法的な能力よりもコミュニケーション上のアウトプットに焦点を当て、奨励された。著者らは、コミュニティ・オブ・インクワイアリーのフレームワークを用いて、いくつかのイベントをデザインした。量的データは，学生アンケート，イベントの出席記録，サーバーのログ記録という形で収集された。質的データは、自由形式のアンケート、教師のメモと観察、サーバーのチャット記録によって収集された。このデータから、多くの生徒がMinecraftに興味を持っているようだが、英語を使用しながらMinecraftをプレイすることに興味を持っている生徒は少数派であることが明らかになった。サーバーを定期的に利用している生徒は、英語コミュニケーション能力を向上させているようであった。様々なイベントの教育的価値について議論され、グループベースのイベントは、コミュニティを構築する上で最も価値があると考えられる。 Keywords: Minecraft, self-access learning, community of inquiry

Authors:   Kyushu Sangyo University, Taylor Samuel , Stone Adam ,   Kyushu Sangyo University
Published: January 2023

Formative user testing, aimed at obtaining feedback from students, instructors, and administrators at a higher education institution in Japan, was undertaken on an AR treasure hunt learning game app. It involved the collection of usage data from data-mining tools, anecdotal evidence from surveys and interviews, and descriptive evidence from observations of tester behavior to investigate aspects of app learning, engagement, usability. Analysis indicated that testers (N=21) rated learning significantly higher than both engagement (p<0.01) and usability (p<0.01), and that engagement was rated significantly higher than usability (p<0.05). Observations noted indicators of engagement, frustration, and unanticipated patterns of usage. Interviews with testers raised issues concerning usability and engagement, and provided suggested changes to the app. These were used to make improvements that, while impacting learning, also facilitated the classroom implementation of the app in pedagogy. In conclusion, it is suggested that user testing is a vital part of educational technology impact evaluations, and that key aims of the design and development of educational apps should be the easy access, enabled through high usability and engagement, of learning content situated in contexts that provide opportunities for further or applied use. 本研究では、日本の高等教育機関の学生、講師、管理者からのフィードバックを得ることを目的とした形成的ユーザーテストを、AR宝探し学習ゲームアプリで実施した。データマイニングツールによる利用データの収集、アンケートやインタビューによる逸話的証拠の収集、調査対象者の行動観察による記述的証拠の収集により、アプリの学習、エンゲージメント、ユーザビリティの側面を調査した。分析によると、調査対象者（N=21）は学習をエンゲージメント（p<0.01）およびユーザビリティ（p<0.01）の両方よりも有意に高く評価し、エンゲージメントはユーザビリティ（p<0.05）よりも有意に高く評価されたことが分かった。また、観察では、エンゲージメント、フラストレーション、そして予期せぬ使用パターンが指摘された。調査対象者へのインタビューでは、ユーザビリティとエンゲージメントに関する問題点が指摘され、アプリの変更案が提示された。これらは、学習に影響を与える一方で、教育上、アプリを教室で容易に実施するために使用された。結論としては、教育工学におけるインパクト評価には、ユーザーテストが不可欠であり、教育用アプリの設計・開発の主な目的は、高いユーザビリティとエンゲージメントによって可能になり、さらなる活用や応用の機会を提供する上で、学習コンテンツへの容易なアクセスであることを提案した。 Keywords: Mobile learning, Augmented Reality, Digital game-based learning, User testing, Educational apps
Evaluation of a VR language learning environment: Effect of feedback on learners' flow state

Published: January 2023

Language learning motivation may be fostered by inducing a “flow state” in learners. This is characterised by a state of deep immersion in an activity, such as feeling enjoyment and satisfaction in the activity itself. In this study, the potential of virtual reality (VR) to produce learners’ flow state is the research focus. Investigations relate to whether adding audiovisual feedback to a pairwork speaking activity can promote flow. A pairwork spot-the-difference activity that utilized the playful and interactive affordances of VR was created. Two versions of the environment were created: one with audiovisual feedback, and the other without. 22 participants, separated into two groups experienced the VR environment with (n = 12 ) and without feedback (n = 10). A questionnaire with 10 measures was used to determine whether the VR environments facilitated flow (based on Cho, 2018). Results of the questionnaire suggested that there was no significant difference in the flow state of the participants with and without feedback. However, examination of individual measures revealed significant differences in mean scores for two measures: both “enjoyment” and “satisfaction” were higher in the group that experienced the VR environment with feedback, suggesting that feedback in VR may promote motivation. However, due to the low number of participants in this study, the generalization of results is difficult. 　言語学習の動機付けは、学習者の「フロー状態」を誘発することで促進される可能性がある。フロー状態とは、ある活動に深く没頭し、その活動自体に楽しさや満足感を感じる状態のことである。そこで本研究では、学習者のフロー状態を作り出すバーチャルリアリティ（VR）の可能性に着目し、ペアワークでのスピーキング活動に視聴覚フィードバックを加えることで、フローを促進できるかどうかを調査した。本研究ではVRの遊び心とインタラクティブ性を活用したペアワークでの間違い探しシステムを開発した。 本実験では、視聴覚フィードバックがあるものと無いものの2種類のVR環境を開発した。22名の参加者は2つのグループに分かれ、フィードバックあり（n = 12）とフィードバック無し（n = 10）のVR環境を体験した。VR環境がフローを促進したかどうかを判断するために、10の尺度で構成されたアンケート(Cho , 2018)を使用した。 アンケートの結果、フィードバックの有無による参加者のフロー状態に有意な差はないことが示唆された。しかし、尺度を個別に検討した結果、2つの尺度の平均値に有意差があり、「楽しさ」「満足感」ともにフィードバックありのＶＲ環境を体験したグループで高く、ＶＲにおけるフィードバックがモチベーションを促進する可能性が示唆された。 本研究は参加人数が少ないため、結果の一般化は困難である。 Keywords: virtual reality, flow state, game-based learning, motivation

O estresse salino é um dos fatores ambientais que mais limitam o desenvolvimento e a produção dos plantios florestais, causando danos na sua produtividade, principalmente em função as condições ambientais. Tanto os eventos ambientais do clima, intemperismo, como também a ação antrópica por meio da aplicação de fertilizante com altos terrores de sais, manejo inadequado da irrigação pode ocasionar a salinização dos solos e plantas quando em excesso. Com isso, a presente pesquisa visa analisar através da revisão de literatura o efeito do estresse salino nas diferentes espécies florestais, tanto no comportamento fisiológico, bioquímico e anatômico e o uso de atenuadores como mitigador ao estresse salino. A salinidade afeta tanto o desenvolvimento das plantas direto ou indiretamente, em que os altos teores de sódio (Na+) e cloreto (Cl-) os principais causadores do estresse salino podem causar toxidez com excesso desses íons. Os estudos mostraram que as espécies apresentam um comportam diferente em cada etapa da submissão ao estresse salino, na qual vai depender do tipo de espécies, duração, características delas dentre outros. Ao logo da pesquisa é possível observar que o excesso da salinidade nas plantas afeta diretamente o seu desenvolvimento. Porém, existem mecanismo que ajudam a diminuir esses impactos sofrido pelo o estresse salino. O uso de atenuadores como o biochar pode auxiliar na minimização desse excesso e fazendo com que a planta consiga completar seu ciclo de vida. Através desse mitigador, podemos evitar danos na produção e produtividade dos plantios florestais e reduzir os impactos ocasionados pela salinidade.

Published: January 2023

The design of the functions of the State, within the framework of the liberal regime characterized by political representation, has been deeply criticized from a legal and political perspective. However, since the current Ecuadorian Constitution, there have been significant changes in the institutional design, which have generated a profound theoretical and normative discussion on the validity of constitutional paradigms as old as the tripartition of powers or the form of democracy. However, this apparent dichotomy between types of democracy, in our case representative and participatory, has not allowed us to examine the progress and setbacks in the implementation of democratic institutions in Ecuador. It is therefore necessary to analyze within the constitutional changes, the new Function of Transparency and Social Control, especially the Council of Citizen Participation and Social Control. Especially the power to appoint the highest authorities of the State. At the end of this study, we will be able to establish whether the new form of designation of the highest authorities, together with the new institutional scheme of the Ecuadorian State, become a contribution to the consolidation of the democratic process in our country. At the end of this study, we will be able to establish if the new form of designation of the highest authorities, together with the new institutional scheme of the Ecuadorian State, becomes a contribution to the consolidation of the democratic process in our country.

The problems of insecurity in many areas of the nation, lead to generate protection measures for the integrity of individuals. The use of technology can facilitate the entry of those who are related to a particular space, and protect people and facilities from strangers, which could lead to criminal acts and dangers. This article responded to a research project of the Instituto Superior Tecnológico Espíritu Santo, with University Status (TES), with the participation of teachers and students of the career of Higher Technology in Software Development, which was based on the hypothesis: the application of a facial recognition system for identification at the time of entry to the facilities of the TES, can increase security and speed up the entry to the institution. The objective of the study was to propose the creation of a facial recognition system for identification at the moment of entering the TES facilities. The study was based on a quantitative field research, and as an instrument for data collection a questionnaire was applied to 20 teachers and 100 students of the TES. As a result, the sample consulted was willing to create a facial recognition system in order to optimize the entrance to TES, to speed up the entrance movement and additionally as a security factor through a system based on facial biometrics, since it has the ability to recognize people by the characteristics present in their face.

Organic agriculture is mainly based on the study of the mutual influences of living organisms and their environment in order to exploit the benefits that these influences can bring. Nature manifests itself in its primitive state as a plant community. Crop association means the simultaneous planting of several species in the same plot or specific planting sector, thus imitating natural diversity. Therefore, the different species will be subject to irrigation, plowing,fertilization, etc. conditions. Both. The final result of the associations can be favorable or unfavorable. That is why you should research very carefully about the plants that will be planted at the same time, the greater the diversity of plants in an ecosystem, the more stable it is, so each plant must be integrated in a dynamic balance in space through links and in transit time.

Authors: Indra Beni , Lipoeto Nur Indrawaty , Tjong Djong Hon , Rahman Sukri
Published: January 2023

INTRODUCTION: Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms of such damage. Pain can be both a symptom of tissue trauma associated with surgery or disease in itself. Surgical procedures may induce different alterations of interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-6 that affect the variation of pain intensity during surgery. Therefore, appropriate pain management during a surgical procedure may reduce postoperative morbidity caused by surgical pain.
METHODS: This prospective cohort study included patients by consecutive sampling from all general anaesthetic patients in Dr. M Djamil Hospital and Andalas University Hospital, Padang, West Sumatera. We collected data from early November 2021 until the end of January 2022 and got 90 patients that suit the criteria. All patients signed informed consent to check their interleukin level and pain intensity before and after surgery. We assessedIL-4 and IL-6 using the Sandwich-ELISA technique and pain intensity using the numeric rating scale (NRS). We also measured length of surgery and its correlation to IL-4, IL-6, and NRS score. Patients were anesthetized with General Anesthesia and received the same fentanyl range of dosage (3-5) mcg/kg Ketorolac 30 mg and Tramadol 100 mg intravenous were given for postoperative analgesia.
RESULT: We found a significant correlation between ΔIL-6 with surgical procedures, ΔNRS score, and length of surgery p = 0.039, p = 0.002, and p = 0.008, respectively). Whereas ΔIL-4 shows no significant correlation to surgical procedures, ΔNRS score, and length of operation (0.868, 0.195, and 0.112, respectively). Our result also found a significant correlation between ΔNRS and surgical procedures (p = 0.013).
CONCLUSION: Surgical procedures with severe tissue trauma may trigger high secretion of ΔIL6 and stimulate high pain intensity after the surgical procedure.

BACKGROUND: Free radicals (oxidants) can cause skin irritation/damage which can be a manifestation of minor skin infections. Not only that, one of the complications of the disease that can arise is diabetes mellitus (DM) with diabetic foot ulcers (LKD). LKD is very susceptible to exposure to microorganisms and develops into diabetic foot infection (DFI). DFI is associated with the presence of biofilms in wounds especially those caused by Staphylococcus aureus infection. Bajakah tampala (Spatholobus littoralis hassk) is one of the native plants of Indonesia which has been known to have antibacterial activity, while its antibiofilm activity has not been studied. Evaluation of antibiofilms from the tampala bajakah plant can be of good novelty value, as well as support success in the treatment of infectious.
AIM: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the ethanol extract of the Bajakah tampala plant from East Kalimantan in inhibiting and eradicating the formation of S. aureus biofilms.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The planktonic and biofilm inhibition tests were carried out using the microtiter broth method. Antibiofilm activity of Bajakah tampala ethanol extract against S. aureus was analyzed by calculating the minimum biofilm inhibitor concentration (MBIC50) and the biofilm eradication activity calculating the minimum biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC50). In addition, we also carried out additional verification tests using the DPPH method by calculating the inhibitory concentration (IC50) parameter value.
RESULTS: The results showed that the 1% bajakah tampala extract gave mid-phase antibiofilm activity of 80.23% w/v ± 0.01, maturation phase of 77.23% w/v ± 0.01 and eradication with a large inhibition of 75.56% w/v ± 0.01. In the DPPH test, the IC50 value was 5.9 ppm with a very strong category.
CONCLUSION: Thus, it can be concluded that the ethanolic extract of the Bajakah tampala plant has a high potential to be developed as a candidate for new antibiofilm drugs against S. aureus biofilms.
La « diastase » christologique moderne, ses antécédents et sa postérité. Maurice Blondel et le « problème à résoudre » (1893-1928) : l’ombre inexpugnable de La Religion de Kant (1793)
Authors: Holzer Vincent
Published: February 2023

L’usage contemporain du vocable de « diastase » en christologie est la traduction et le retentissement quasi immédiats de l’apparition du syntagme « christologie » dans la période moderne. Dès qu’il y a « christologie », il y a considération de la « diastase », autrement dit du hiatus que la science historique croit devoir mettre en lumière dans toute analyse philologique et littéraire digne de ce nom. À cette exigence, se joignent de pesantes contraintes philosophiques et rationnelles, dont on ne cherche pas à cacher les principes censés devoir concourir à la résolution de la diastase entre Jésus et le Christ . L’étude qui est consacrée à cette odyssée cherche à mettre en lumière cette congruence entre philologie et raisons philosophiques.
La régulation des marchés agricoles et des ressources naturelles, entre financiarisation et interventions publiques
Authors: Cuissard Olivier
Published: February 2023

Il existe aujourd’hui un consensus partagé selon lequel l’activité agricole ne peut se mesurer seulement en termes monofonctionnels. Le débat de société, qui est à l’origine de l’émergence du concept de multifonctionnalité en agriculture, est révélateur d’une crise du système productiviste. Le soutien à l’activité agricole implique une augmentation de l’intervention publique, sous la forme d’un soutien financier pour soutenir les revenus agricoles. Ces subventions sont incluses dans le premier pilier de la Politique agricole commune (PAC). Depuis 1992, les États membres peuvent récompenser les agriculteurs qui, sur la base du volontariat, produisent des services environnementaux, sociaux et culturels. Ce nouveau modèle de développement valorise la multifonctionnalité agricole, la diversité biologique et la diversité des paysages. La multifonctionnalité est désormais comprise comme étant le point de départ d’un nouveau contrat social entre les pouvoirs publics et la société. La multifonctionnalité apparaît comme une redéfinition des identités. La question sous-jacente nous conduit à nous interroger sur l’utilisation des catégories analytiques marchand/non-marchand pour expliquer le mouvement de la crise du système productiviste dans les débats politiques.

Learning the classification of living things in schools during the Covid-19 pandemic experienced obstacles, one of which was difficult to present specimens of real living things. One of the products of advances in information and communication technology in the form of virtual-based learning media is expected to be a solution to these problems. Through this research, a virtual garden learning media was developed as an alternative learning media for the classification of living things. This development research (Desain-Based Research, DBR) uses the ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate) model, which consists of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Virtual Garden application development begins with creating workflows and wireframes, creating 3D assets using Blender software, and producing interactive virtual garden media with Unity-3D software and adding C# programming. This research has involved one learning media expert and one science content and learning expert as validators. The results of the Virtual Garden validation show that this application is valid and relevant to be used as a medium for learning science/biology on the topic of classification of living things. Based on the implementation results, students gave positive responses to the use of the Virtual Garden in learning.
A study on the perception of South Korean high school students about the influence of learner and teacher on school science learning
Authors: Han Hwa Jung , Shim Kew Cheol
Published: January 2023

This study was conducted on the perception of high school students regarding the influence of learner and teacher on school science learning. The subjects were 867 South Korean high school students at 464 natural science and 404 humanities learning course. The components of the influence of learner and teacher in school science learning consisted of learning motivation, class participation, learning, and achievement. Overall, high school students perceived that learners had a stronger influence than teacher on learning motivation, class participation and achievement except learning. High school students at natural science learning course recognized more than students of humanities learning course that learners had a stronger influence on learning motivation, class participation, and the achievement than teacher. Since high school students at natural science learning course considered their future careers when selecting such learning course, their interests and motivation in science were already higher than students of humanities learning course. Thus, school teachers have to make an effort to develop the professionalism of teaching because the learning effect was not limited to the cognitive skills of science class students, and may vary depending on the explanations of teachers.
