Authors: Nanding Sandra , Rara Helen M. , Aniversaro Imelda S.
Published: October 2024

Let $G$ be a connected graph. A subset $S$ of $V(G)$ is a connected co-independent hop dominating set in $G$ if the subgraph induced by $S$ is connected and $V(G) \backslash S$ is an independent set where for each $v \in V(G) \backslash S$, there exists a vertex $u \in S$ such that $d_G(u,v)=2$. The smallest cardinality of such an $S$ is called the connected co-independent hop domination number of $G$. This paper presents the characterizations of the connected co-independent hop dominating sets in the edge corona and complementary prism of graphs and determines the exact values of their corresponding connected co-independent hop domination number.
Some New Applications of the Quantum Calculus for New Families of Sigmoid Activation Bi-univalent Functions Connected to Horadam Polynomials
Authors: Mishra Nidhish Kumar , Khan Mohammad Faisal , Lone Showkat Ahmad
Published: October 2024

The study of q-calculus is becoming increasingly prominent in the field of geometric function theory, reflecting a growing interest in its applications. In this research work, we first develop a new type of modified Sigmoid-Salagean q-differential operator in the open unit disk D, utilizing the concepts of quantum calculus and the Sigmoid activation function. Using this newly defined q analogous differential operator and Horadam polynomials, we introduce new subclasses of bi-univalent functions in D. We determine upper bounds on initial coefficients, as well as the Fekete-Szeg ̈o problems, for functions belonging to these special families. Additionally, we discuss several interesting consequences related to the findings presented in this study.
Semi-primitive Roots and Irreducible Quadratic Forms
Authors: Wolf Marc , Wolf François
Published: October 2024

Modulo a prime number, we define semi-primitive roots as the square of primitive roots. We present a method for calculating primitive roots from quadratic residues, including semi-primitive roots. We then present progressions that generate primitive and semi-primitive roots, and deduce an algorithm to obtain the full set of primitive roots without any gcd calculation. Next, we present a method for determining irreducible quadratic forms with arbitrarily large conjectured asymptotic density of primes (after Shanks, [1][2]). To this end, we propose an algorithm for calculating the square root modulo p, based on the Tonelli-Shanks algorithm [3].

Authors: Shaqaqha Shadi , Al-Deiakeh Mounther Y.
Published: October 2024

In this paper, we investigate the properties of complex intuitionistic fuzzy Lie subalgebras and ideals under Lie algebra homomorphisms, focusing on both images and inverse images. We provide detailed proofs for several new results concerning the preservation of complex intuitionistic fuzzy structures through homomorphisms, and we introduce additional homomorphism-related properties for these structures. This work extends known results to the context of complex intuitionistic fuzzy Lie algebras, contributing new insights into their behavior under algebraic mappings.

In this paper, We aim to study the characterization of nonlinear mixed $\lambda$-Jordan triple derivation on $\ast$-algebras. As an application, we can also apply our results on prime $\ast$-algebras, factor von-Neumann algebras and standard operator algebras.
A Subclass of Bi-univalent Functions Defined by aSymmetric q-Derivative Operator and Gegenbauer Polynomials
Authors: Illafe Mohamed , Mohd Maisarah Haji , Yousef Feras , Supramaniam Shamani
Published: October 2024

This paper introduces a novel subclass of bi-univalent analytic functions by utilizing a symmetric q-derivative operator in conjunction with Gegenbauer polynomials. Within this newly defined subclass, we derive bounds for the first two Maclaurin coefficients and address the Fekete-Szeg o problem. By varying the parameters in our results between 0 and 1, we obtain a range of new insights and rediscover some previously established results. This approach not only broadens the scope of bi-univalent function theory but also deepens the understanding of coefficient bounds and extremal problems within this context.

Published: October 2024

Based on a new definition of $\alpha$-periodical functions with $0 < \alpha \leq 1$ introduced by Khalil et al. (2014), we introduce a new definition of conformable Fourier transform for such a class of functions. Further, we establish some operational formulas, and we set the relation between the newly defined conformable Fourier transform and the classical Fourier transform. Finally, some classical results of periodical functions are obtained, and some illustrative examples are constructed.

On the Family of Theorems on Metric Completeness
Authors: Park Sehie
Published: October 2024

There have appeared a large family of theorems related the metric completeness. They are mainly concerned with generalizations of the Banach contraction on quasi-metric spaces and their extended artificial spaces. In this survey article, we classify the family according to our 2023 Metatheorem. Many known metric fixed point theorems belong to the family including the Rus-Hicks-Rhoades (RHR) theorem. Such results on metric spaces are consequences of our generalized forms of the Banach contraction principle for weak contractions or the RHR maps on quasi-metric spaces. We list a large number of examples of metric fixed point theorems which follow from our principles. Moreover, we add some comments on related papers in order to improve them.

Authors: Rawshdeh Amani , Al-jarrah Heyam , Al-zoubi Khalid
Published: October 2024

In this paper, we present a new generalization for somewhere dense of a topological space (Z, τ ), namely ωSWD-open subsets. We introduce the concept of this family and discuss some of their properties with the help of illustrative example. Moreover, we will show if the space (Z, τ ) is anti-locally countable and τ is finer than the cocountable topology then the class of ωSWD-open and somewhere dense subsets of (Z, τ ) will be equivalent. Moreover, we present more properties for the class of somewhere dense subsets of (Z, τ ), the most important of which is a generalization for a theorem in [1]. Furthermore, we finish this work by shedding light on one type of covering properties where we study the notion of almost ωSWD-compact spaces with some of their properties.
A New Method of Generating Truncated Bivariate Families of Distributions
Authors: Alsulami Eftekhar , Al-Turk Lutfiah , Shahbaz Muhammad
Published: October 2024

The modeling of complex data has attracted several researchers for the quest of generating new probability distributions. The joint modeling of two variables asks for some additional complexities as a bivariate distribution is needed. The field of research in developing bivariate families of distributions is somewhat new. In certain situations, the domain of data is restricted and some truncated distribution is required. Several univariate truncated families of distributions are available for modeling of a single variable but the bivariate truncated families of distributions has not been studied and in this paper, we have proposed a new bivariate truncated families of distributions. A specific sub-family has been proposed by using the bivariate Burr as a base-line distribution, resulting in a bivariate truncated Burr family of distributions. Some important statistical properties of the proposed family has been studied, which include the marginal and conditional distributions, bivariate reliability, and bivariate hazard rate functions. The maximum likelihood estimation for the parameters of the family is also carried out. The proposed bivariate truncated Burr family of distributions is studied for the Burr baseline distributions, giving rise to the bivariate truncated Burr-Burr distribution. The new bivariate truncated Burr-Burr distribution is explored in detail and several statistical properties of the new distribution are studied, which include the marginal and conditional distributions, product, ratio, and conditional moments. The maximum likelihood estimation for the parameters of the proposed distribution is done. The proposed bivariate truncated Burr-Burr distribution is used to model some real data sets. It is found that the proposed distribution performs better than the other distributions considered in this study.

We find estimates on the coefficients |d2|, |d3| and the Fekete-Szeg¨o inequality for members of this family. New implications of the primary result as well as pertinent links to previously published findings are also provided.
Solution of Well-known Physical Problems with Fractional Conformable Derivative
Authors: Abuteen Eman , Ait Brahim Abdessamad , El Hajaji Abdelmajid , Hilal Khalid , Charhabil Ayoub
Published: October 2024

This paper presents a new definition of fractional derivatives and integrals through the conformable derivative approach. This innovative framework offers a closer alignment with classical derivative concepts while providing a more practical and intuitive basis for fractional calculus. The new definition is applicable in two primary ranges: 0 ≤ α < 1 and n − 1 ≤ α < n, where n is a positive integer. It is shown that when α = 1, this definition corresponds precisely to the classical first-order derivative. Key benefits of this approach include its improved consistency with traditional calculus and greater computational ease, making it a useful tool for both theoretical research and practical applications. By integrating fractional calculus with conventional derivative ideas, this definition simplifies the analysis and interpretation of fractional differential equations and their solutions. Additionally, we examine the definition’s effects on stability and convergence in numerical methods and provide examples demonstrating its effectiveness and applicability.

Published: October 2024

Advancements in the rough set theory of Pawlak have opened new avenues for enhancing decision-making processes, particularly in identifying disease risk factors in medical diagnoses. While traditional rough set methodologies have provided a solid foundation, there is a continuous need for improvements to increase accuracy and reliability. This study introduces mathematical techniques grounded in basic rough sets, incorporating $\beta$-open concepts to enhance precision. We present nearly basic rough sets and $\beta$-basic-approximations ($\beta _b$-approximations), examining their core properties and interrelationships. Our findings reveal that these novel constructs offer superior accuracy compared to traditional methods. Both theoretical analysis and practical examples support this, with our approach achieving a 100% accuracy rate in the medical diagnosis of COVID-19. This significant improvement highlights the potential of the methods of us to outperform existing ones in terms of precision and reliability. The introduction of $\beta _b$-approximations represents a significant advancement in rough set theory, offering enhanced accuracy in decision-making applications. Our results indicate that these methods can substantially outperform traditional techniques, especially in critical areas such as medical diagnosis. Additionally, we provide a mathematical algorithm suitable for implementation in programming languages, facilitating future research and applications across various theoretical and applied fields. This work lays the groundwork for further exploration and utilization of advanced rough set methodologies in diverse domains.

Digital literacy of language learners in two different contexts
Authors: Son Jeong-Bae , Park Sang-Soon , Park Moonyoung
Published: October 2024

This article discusses the concept of digital literacy and presents a digital literacy questionnaire containing questions related to the use of digital technologies and the level of digital literacy skills. It also reports the results of two studies that used the digital literacy questionnaire to investigate the digital literacy level of 100 English for academic purposes (eap) students at a university in Australia and 70 English as a foreign language (efl) students at a university in Japan and examine factors affecting their use of digital technologies for learning English. The findings of the studies provide some insights into the students’ awareness and use of digital technologies and their views of the use of digital tools and resources for language learning. Each group showed a different level of expectations and needs in their digital literacy skills with a different background and experience. It is suggested that the expectations and needs of respondents to the digital literacy questionnaire should be taken into account when the results of the digital literacy questionnaire are presented and interpreted in different contexts.
Personality and participation in a JapanTaiwan online intercultural exchange
Authors: Kelsen Brent , Flowers Simeon
Published: October 2024

This article examines personality and participation in an online intercultural exchange (oie) between 57 university students in Japan (n = 28) and Taiwan (n = 29). The two-month oie used Facebook (fb) as the medium of communication. During the online exchange, participants communicated linguistically using English as their common language and para-linguistically through photos, videos, and emoticons. The revised version of the 60-item hexaco personality inventory was used to assess personality traits and to compare those traits with participation as measured by a fb participation rubric created for this study. From the data two themes emerged: 1) overall participation rates were high; 2) participation positively correlated with the personality item Modesty and negatively with the items Sincerity and Organization. These results suggest that a degree of modest-insincerity may be natural for student engagement in online social interaction and that the asynchronous nature of the exchange suits students who favor less structured communication activities. One of the implications of this research is that, with the required coaching and support, students can develop the necessary skills to successfully partake in OIEs.

Published: October 2024

The challenges in the small-scale dairy industry often stem from outdated business management practices and a lack of comprehensive performance evaluation. This study adopts a structural approach by analyzing the performance of the fresh milk supply chain within Farmers Group XYZ, located inBogor Regency. We employed the SCOR and AHP methods for our performance analysis. Data were garnered through questionnaires, interviews, and observations. The findings reveal that the overall performance of the fresh milk supply chain was moderate, with performance scores of 84.25% forfeed suppliers, 77.47% for Farmers Group XYZ, and 82.05% for consumers. Notably, areas requiring enhancement include reliability, responsiveness, and cost-efficiency. Consequently, we have developed strategic recommendations aimed at augmenting supply chain effectiveness. These include enhancing the transportation system to ensure timely deliveries (Reliability), shortening order fulfillment times and improving the flexibility to adapt to demand fluctuations (Responsiveness), and optimizing logistics and storage to reduce costs (Cost). Implementing these strategies will bolster collaboration and fortify relationships among suppliers, producers, and consumers, contributing to a more robust dairy industry.

Published: October 2024

Earthworms are one of the animals used as indicators to assess soil quality and fertility. In earthworm cultivation, several factors affect the life of earthworms, including temperature, pH, moisture, nutrient content, and media texture. This study aims to evaluate the productivity of earthworms (Lumbricus rubellus) in a mixed medium of cow manure and cricket manure. The method used in this study is a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 6 treatments and 3 replications, along with a Tukey posthoc test. The results showed that the addition of cricket manure to cow manure as a cultivation medium could increase earthworm productivity. The use of 90% cow manure with the addition of 10% cricket manure resulted in an average weight increase of 17 g, an average of 94 cocoons, and an average media reduction of 260.50 g. The addition of more than 10% cricket manure to cow manure could reduce earthworm productivity.

Authors: S. D. Suwandi  , A. Atabany  , Yudi
Published: October 2024

Dairy cattle are dominant milk producer in Indonesia. Several programs have been carried out to increase the population of dairy cattle and milk production, one of which is Artificial Insemination (AI). Indonesia is a tropical country that has two seasons, namely the rainy season and the dry season. This study was conducted in the KPSBU Lembang working area, West Java, from November 2019 to January 2020. Rainfall data from the BMKG Dramaga Climatology Station and artificial insemination (AI) records of Frisian Holstein dairy cattle from 2017 to 2019 were collected. AI success was assessed using the Service per Conception (S/C) and Conception Rate (CR) parameters, obtained through pregnancy checks two months after insemination. Pregnancy checks were conducted using rectal palpation to confirm conception. Statistical analysis focused on seasonal differences in reproductive performance based on these metrics. Highest S/C value was 2.02 with CR Value 53.27% on rainy season with rainfall 253.67 mm month-1. The analysis showed a strong correlation (α = 0.005) between S/C and CR value (0.89*), very weak correlation between rainfall with S/C (r = -0.05) and CR (r = -0.08). The results of the research show that the rainy season and the dry season are not the main factors affecting the AI in dairy cattle, however they didn’t directly affect the season to increase the productivity of saplings.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate partial results after 1 year of data collection from breast cancer screening conducted by community health workers (CHW), according to the ITABERAÍ Project. Methodology: A multicenter randomized clinical trial phase III, where the unit of observation was data from women aged 40 years or older, without a diagnosis of breast cancer, who consented to participate in the study and were randomized by CHW and registered in the Rosa Application. Randomization considered the National Health Strategies (NHS) of each CHW, which were randomly allocated into control group and intervention group. The Intervention was considered as the physical breast examination (PBE) performed by the CHW. Results: After 1 year of data collection, 3101 women were randomized, with 1607 (51.8%) in the control group and 1,494 (48.2%) in the intervention group. The mean age was 58.1 years, with 57.8 years ±11.1 in the control group and 58.5 years ±11.1 in the intervention group (p>0.05). Of the total participants, 2,989 reported on mammography (MMG) status, of which 1,550 were in the control group and 1,439 in the intervention group. Among women in the control group, only 615 (38.3%) had undergone MMG in the last 2 years, while in the intervention group, it was 647 (43.3%). CHW identified 315 (10.2%) abnormal cases, and after screening in NHS 71 (22.5%) women received specialist medical care. After further examinations, 13 (18.3%) were referred for biopsy, with diagnostic confirmation in 9 women (69.2%), 6 (66.7%) from the intervention group and 3 (33.3%) from the control group. Of the confirmed cancers, three underwent conservative surgeries (quadrantectomy), one mastectomy, four were referred for neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and one is pending treatment decision. Conclusion: Initially, the results suggest that properly trained CHW are an important strategy that can contribute to improving breast cancer screening in Brazil.

Objective: VENUS (ClinicalTrials.gov – NCT05315154 and ReBEC – RBR-8g6jbf; ethics approval: CAAE:06805118.2.0000.5404) is an ongoing trial that evaluates omission of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in early breast cancer clinically and ultrasonographically node negative. This is a partial report on the first interim radiotherapy data collected up to 4.5 years after the VENUS trial started. The objective was to evaluate whether radiotherapy is uniform between VENUS groups. Methodology: This is a prospective, multi-center, non-inferiority randomized controlled clinical trial including T1-2 N0 (clinical/ultrasound) M0 breast cancer patients randomized into SLNB or no axillary surgery. Adjuvant radiotherapy planning was based on local protocols adopted by each study center. In the no-surgery group, axilla status was considered N0 during planning. Radiotherapy features analyzed were: planning, number and location of fields, whole-breast/boost dose, fractioning, and dose distribution in axillary levels I-III. Results: Until February 2024, 322 women were randomized. Radiotherapy was performed in 221 (SLNB n=115 and no-surgery n=106). 2D and 3D IMRT and 3D conformational planning were applied for 7, 26, and 173 patients, respectively, with no imbalance across study groups (p=0.23). The mean whole-breast dose was 424742.cGy in SLNB and 4269.95cGy in no-surgery (p=0.67). The mean percentage of total prescribed breast doses distribution in axillary was Level I 5.73% SLNB vs. 2.16% no-surgery (p=0.12), Level II 0.53% SLNB vs 0.07% no-surgery (p=0.86), and Level III 0.96% SLNB vs. 0.00% no-surgery (p=0.06). Radiotherapy fields (axilla, supraclavicular fossa, breast, and internal mammary) and boost are described and were all evenly balanced across study groups. Conclusion: Breast radiotherapy has achieved an unintentional low radiation dose in the axilla of some patients, mainly at Level I. However, there was no difference between VENUS trial groups in radiotherapy parameters. So far, with more than 40% of the sample size achieved, there has been no violation of radiotherapy procedure protocol in the VENUS trial.

Published: October 2024

Objective: This analysis aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of dose-dense AC (ddAC) compared with every 3 weeks (q3w) AC during neoadjuvant pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy (P+CT) for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Methodology: The Neo-Real study is a collaborative real-world data effort evaluating patients treated with neoadjuvant P+CT since July 2020 in 10 cancer centers. Effectiveness endpoints were pathologic complete response (pCR) and residual cancer burden (RCB) 0–1. Factors associated with pCR and RCB 0–1 were also explored. Safety endpoints included drug discontinuation, grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs), and antibiotics use. Results: Among 333 patients included to date, 311 finished the neoadjuvant therapy phase (safety cohort) and 279 underwent surgery with available pathology reports (effectiveness cohort). ddAC was used in 58.2% and q3w AC in 41.8% of the cases. Most patients (69.1%) had stage II TNBC. A pCR was observed in 65.4% with ddAC and 58.7% with q3w AC (p=0.260), while RCB 0–1 occurred in 82.4% and 73.5%, respectively (p=0.115). Patients with stage III disease had a numerically higher pCR with ddAC (59% vs. 40%, p=0.155), while pCR rates were similar regardless of AC schedule in stage II disease (66.6% vs. 64.5%; p=0.760). Ki67 ≥50%, tumor grade 3, and TILs ≥30% were identified as predictors of higher pCR rates, while clinical stage III and receiving <6 cycles of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab were associated with a decreased pCR. While no significant disparities in drug discontinuation or antibiotics use were noted, ddAC showed a trend toward higher rates of grade ≥3 AE (40.5% vs. 30.7%, p=0.092), particularly febrile neutropenia (16% vs. 9.2%). Conclusion: The Neo-Real study found no statistically significant differences in effectiveness or safety between ddAC and q3w AC during neoadjuvant P+CT. However, the numerically higher pCR rates with ddAC in patients with stage III disease deserve further investigation.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the cavity margins sampling shaving (CMSH) as a predictor of complete tumor resection (CR) by VAE. Methodology: This is a retrospective database analysis of 120 ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive cancers (IC) of the breast, smaller than 20 mm (image), submitted to diagnostic VAE-CMSH and standard surgery (SS) from June 2021 to December 2023. VAE definition: more than 12 core samples (CS) with 7G needle or 18 samples with 10G needle. CMSH definition: core sampling the round residual cavity circumference after VAE. CMSH-CS were allocated in an exclusive bottle and sent to the laboratory. Demographic, imaging, pathology, VAE, CMSH, and SS data were collected. CMSH was compared with SS (gold standard) to predict CR. The SPSS® 20.0 software was used for statistical analyses. Results: The mean age was 58.5 years; the mean imaging tumor size (iT) was 12.4 mm; masses were 68 (56.7%); the mean VAE-CS was 29.5 weighting 9.3 g; the mean CMSH-CS was 10.9 weighting 6.2 g; the mean final pathological tumor size (pT) is 7.5 mm. IC were 75 (62.5%) and DCIS 45 (37.5%); 46 (38.3%) were CR by VAE-CMSH and 74 (61.7%) were not. CMSH was negative for residual cancer in 52 (43.3%) and positive in 68 (56.7%). CMSH sensitivity (SENS) was 70.7%, specificity (ESP) was 66.7%, positive predictive value (PPV) was 77.9%, negative predictive value (NPV) was 57.7%, and false negative rate (FNR) was 29.3%. The variables significatively related to VAE-CMSH CR were the pathological tumor size in the CMSH (p=0.014) and pT (p=0.023); to true negative CMSH was pT (p=0.041); to false negative CMSH were calcifications (p=0.030); IC associated to DCIS (p<0.001) and the DCIS tumor size in the SS (p=0.016). For pure IC, CMSH SENS was 88.9%, ESP was 83.3%, PPV was 88.9%, NPV was 83.3% and FNR was 11.1%. Conclusion: CMSH may be a potential approach to predict CR by VAE. Potential selected criteria for future intention to CR trials comparing VAECMSH to SS should be small masses of pure IC without calcifications.

Published: October 2024

Objective: The objective was to evaluate the surgical approach in the axilla (SNB or axillary dissection – AD) of patients diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in a single institution and describe the surgical treatment (mastectomy or breast conservative surgery – BCS). Methodology: This was a retrospective analysis of DCIS in a reference center from January 2011 to December 2019. The patients were split into three age groups: under 40, 40–49, and 50 years or older and we analyzed the type of breast and axillary surgery, as the method of diagnostic and pathologic characteristics of that lesion after surgery. Results: Our sample included 494 patients who underwent core biopsy or vacuum-guided biopsy guided by mammography or ultrasound and were diagnosed with DCIS and underwent surgical treatment. DCIS was diagnosed through mammographic alterations in 61.5% of all cases and nuclear grade 2 was the most common (48.3%). Comedonecrosis was present in 77.9% of our specimens. The BCS was made in 72.9% of the cases, with the axillary approach being performed in 34.7%. When a mastectomy was made, 92.5% were submitted to the axillary approach, showing a strong correlation between the type of surgery and axillary approach (p <0.001). Patients younger than 40 years were more likely to undergo an axillary evaluation regardless of the type of surgery (p=0.015). In only 3.2% of cases (16 in 494), we had an upstage to invasive carcinoma and none of them had a lymph node involvement. Conclusion: Our results showing no axillary involvement should be taken into account when deciding to evaluate the axilla in DCIS. The cost, mobility, and complications of the surgical treatment in these patients can help us stop evaluating the axilla.

Stunting is a significant issue, particularly in the context of Indonesia. Identifying crucial risk factors is crucial for mitigating and developing effective strategies to control stunting. A Bayesian approach was employed to develop a regression model that incorporates spatial variation, allowing risk factors to vary across different districts and cities. The aim was to obtain the most optimal regression model. The analysis revealed that the impact of immunization varies across districts and cities in Indonesia when it comes to explaining the differences in stunting prevalence. The hotspot prediction results indicate that most urban districts in Indonesia remain hotspot areas, with a stunting risk exceeding 20%. The government must ensure the effective implementation of the immunization program in order to mitigate the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia. The novelty of this research lies in the use of Bayesian approaches to spatial analysis in identifying and understanding stunting risk factors as well as the prediction of stunting hotspots in Indonesia. This approach provides in-depth insight into local variations in the prevalence of stunting and the effectiveness of health interventions, which supports more effective and targeted policy development.

Published: October 2024

Critical thinking is one of the 21st-century skills needed. Understanding chemical literacy can encourage students to be able to think more critically. Given the importance of critical thinking and chemical literacy in chemistry learning, there is a need for an assessment instrument that can measure both abilities. Based on this, the integrated assessment instrument was developed to determine the characteristics and feasibility of the integrated assessment instrument that can measure students' critical thinking skills and chemical literacy on reaction rate materials. The sample in this study is 154 students from two high schools in Makassar City. The feasibility and characteristics of the integrated assessment instrument were analyzed using the Rasch model with the Partial Credit Model-1 Logistic Parameter (PCM-1PL) approach. The results of the analysis show that the 10 items developed are valid and have a high reliability value. The integrated assessment instrument has the characteristics of fit with the model, and the difficulty level of the items is classified as good. The results of this study show that the integrated assessment instrument can be used as a good instrument to measure students' critical thinking skills and chemical literacy on reaction rate materials
