REVIEWING FRAMEWORK OF CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION: ASEAN CONTEXT
Authors: Run Netra
Published: June 2024

The framework of curriculum implementation had been argued to be complex and vague since it was hard to identify how, what, and where to begin. This paper aims to review the framework of curriculum implementation in the ASEAN context on how the curriculum is formulated, prototyped, and implemented. Employing the integrative review approach of the conventional review paper, 27 articles (22 primary data and 5 secondary data) were collected from Google Scholar to form themes, sub-themes, and codes. The findings indicated that the curriculum is implemented into 5 main circles: (1) the planning and consultation circle is categorized into 5 elements: identifying core values and areas of knowledge, key knowledge and skills for learners, basic and relevant resources, practitioners and relevant stakeholders, and reviewing plan and consultation; (2) designing and development circle is classified into 3 elements: contents, pedagogies, and assessments; (3) the trailing and prototyping circle is covered by 3 elements: contents, syllabuses, and resources; (4) the implementation and communication circle is followed by 3 elements: gathering information, reflection, and possible changes; and (5) post-implementation and evaluation is classified into 4 elements: assessment and feedback, reflection and evaluation, making changes, and post-implementation and updates.

The UK and the EEC Budget Issue (1979-80)
Authors: VOLPE Andrea
Published: June 2024

The literature dedicated to the relationships between the UK government led by Margaret Thatcher and the EEC has often underlined the harsh and uncompromising attitude adopted by the Prime Minister towards the Community, with particular reference to the budget issue. This work aims at demonstrating how the UK government was able to positively negotiate with the EEC over a vast amount of arguments, including the budget, during the first year of Thatcher’s premiership. The constructive and positive approach adopted by the UK towards the EEC was particularly promoted by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office chief Peter Carrington.
The Benefits and Burdens of Being In-between. Discourses in European Parliament on Turkey’s Identity and Geopolitical Role in the Syrian Civil War
Authors: AYKAÇ Erdoğan
Published: June 2024

This article researches discursive practices of Members of European Parliament (MEPs) regarding Turkey’s identity and geopolitical role in the context of the Syrian Civil War from 2011 to 2016. It argues that MEPs struggled to accept Turkey’s in-betweenness: being European and Islamic/Asian simultaneously. This became particularly visible when Turkish foreign policy-behaviour in the region was colliding with European interests and authoritarianism in Turkey kept increasing. As a result, Turkey was framed more and more as non-European by referring to its religion, history and geography. However, MEPs believed cooperation with Turkey to be necessary due to its (growing) role in the conflict and the region in general. In that vein, parliamentary discourses shifted from EU membership to strategic partnership; perceiving Turkey as a key (regional) actor instead of a bridge and role model. Overall, the article gives valuable insights into the EU’s perception of its own identity and (normative) role, and tensions and challenges related to it.
No farmer in the field! The Belgian agricultural organisations and the 1971 demonstration(s) against the Mansholt Plan
Authors: BISSCHOP Chantal , DANCKAERT Laura , SEGERS Yves
Published: June 2024

On 23 March 1971, approximately one hundred thousand farmers protested in Brussels against the Mansholt plan. The vast majority of them were Belgian farmers who responded en masse to the ubiquitous call from the Belgian farming organisations for “No farmer in the field”. This article analyses newspapers, agricultural magazines, archival records, and interviews to unravel the motivations, strategies, roles, and internal dynamics of various agricultural organisations in Belgium involved in preparing, organising, and evaluating the protest. The 1971 demonstration represents a significant turning point. It has become ingrained in collective memory, symbolising the conclusive end of an era in agriculture. Largely mobilised by major agricultural organisations and influenced by smaller, more radical groups, the protest marks the emergence of a cross-border agricultural alliance opposing substantial reforms to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).
Das Fußvolk der "Endlösung"

Published: June 2024

Nichtdeutsche Täter in deutschen Diensten: ein bisher wenig beachtetes Kapitel des Holocaust Die Rekrutierung und Mitbeteiligung nichtdeutscher Kollaborateure an den Gräueltaten des NS-Regimes nahm lange Zeit keinen großen Platz im allgemeinen Geschichtsbewusstsein ein. Erst der Strafprozess gegen den ehemaligen ukrainischen KZ-Wachmann John Demjanjuk 2009 brachte das Thema einer breiten Öffentlichkeit ins Bewusstsein. Der Historiker Thomas Sandkühler hat, basierend auf zwei Gerichtsgutachten in ähnlichen Fällen, eine ausführliche Analyse der Bedeutung »fremdvölkischer« Hilfskräfte für die Durchführung nationalsozialistischer Vernichtungsaktionen in Osteuropa erstellt. »Trawniki-Männer« und ukrainische Hilfspolizisten: Zwangsarbeiter oder Mittäter der SS-Soldaten? Die Vernichtungslager Bełżec, Sobibór und Treblinka: Mittelpunkt der »Aktion Reinhardt« Deutsche Besatzungspolitik: Konkurrenz der Instanzen zwischen Beamtenapparat und SS- und Polizeiapparat Sowjetische Strafverfolgung als Impulsgeber zur Erforschung dieses Themas Wer war das Fußvolk? Die Mittäter der osteuropäischen Judenvernichtung Den hier untersuchten Mittätern wurden vor allem deshalb Waffen in die Hand gegeben, weil die neokoloniale Herrschaftsordnung des deutschen Naziregimes ohne Kollaborateure nicht funktioniert hätte. Die Rangordnung, von Deutschen hinunter zu Nichtdeutschen, stand jedoch nie in Frage: Sowohl »Trawniki-Männer« und ukrainische Hilfspolizisten waren stets nur die ausführenden Organe Thomas Sandkühler hat mit dieser Untersuchung erstmals die europäische Dimension der osteuropäischen Judenvernichtung in dieser Ausführlichkeit beleuchtet. Kenntnisreich und detailliert beschreibt er die Zusammenhänge zwischen Tatort, Tat und Tätern, vom Hitler-Stalin-Pakt bis zu den späten Strafprozessen im 21. Jahrhundert.

Eine Himalaya-Expedition unter dem Hakenkreuz21. Dezember 1938: Fünf junge Männer aus Deutschland überschreiten den Himalaya-Pass Nathu-La zwischen Sikkim und Tibet. Als erste Deutsche haben sie die Genehmigung erhalten, die »verbotene Stadt« Lhasa zu besuchen. An ihrem Gepäck flatterten Hakenkreuzwimpel und SS-Runen. Offiziell wird der Leiter der Expedition Ernst Schäfer später beteuern, es wäre nur um naturkundliche Forschungen gegangen. Tatsächlich steht die Reise unter der besonderen Förderung von Heinrich Himmler, der in Tibet den Ursprung der arischen Rasse vermutet. Peter Meier-Hüsing geht den Mythen und Legenden, die sich bis heute um die Tibet-Expedition der fünf SS-Offiziere Ernst Schäfer, Bruno Beger, Karl Wienert, Ernst Krause und Edmund Geer ranken, auf den Grund.

Klimaklagen gegen Private als Regulierungsinstrument
Authors: Hellgardt Alexander
Published: June 2024

Can climate change be stopped by private lawsuits brought by environmental protection associations? Can, for example, car manufacturers be forced to stop producing combustion engines, even though this is still permitted by law? Alexander Hellgardt shows that such regulatory climate litigation has little chance of success under current German law. Even in the case of injunctions, it must be shown that there is a threat of a causal infringement by the defendant company. In practice, this can rarely be proved. However, the courts could be forced by the constitution to lower these high hurdles and enable effective climate protection if Germany were to fall significantly short of its climate protection targets in the future.

Berkeley on the Meaning of General Terms
Authors: Fields Keota ,   Berkeley Studies
Published: June 2024

I argue that for Berkeley the meaning of a general term is constituted by the multiple particular ideas indifferently signified by that term. This reading faces two challenges. First, Berkeley argues that the meaning of sentences containing general terms is constituted by the one idea signified by the name in that sentence rather than by multiple ideas, implying that general terms are meaningful although they do not signify multiple ideas. Second, Berkeley writes that finite minds know the meaning of the biblical phrase ‘good thing’ even though that phrase fails to signify any ideas at all. Both challenges are met by deploying Berkeley’s account of mediate perception.
Obstacles to a Direct Solution Through a Direct Access to Consciousness
Authors: Tselishchev Vitaly V. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: June 2024

The article shows that Borisov’s direct solution to the problem of skepticism about meaning using a special type of introspection is associated with the assumption of the agent’s direct access to their own consciousness. This assumption has two complicating consequences: the analogy with Moore’s paradox and the Platonic concept of meaning. It is also shown that direct access to meaning as a way of Borisov’s direct solution of the skeptical paradox significantly uses the performativity of the speech act, narrowing the scope of analysis of the original problem. The little-studied problem of distinction in the analysis of the skeptical paradox of meaningful and formalized mathematics is noted.
Social Science as a Project
Authors: Ruser Alexander ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: June 2024

It is increasingly common to conceive of scientific research as something that can be planned, managed, and assessed by applying modern techniques of project management. Expecting research to follow certain standardized procedures to achieve clearly defined goals has a long tradition, in particular, in the natural sciences and has arguably contributed to the acceptance of science as an authoritative force that makes tangible contributions to social progress. For the social sciences, however such a narrow understanding of scientific research causes serious problems. Social science research doesn’t always fit in the logic of project management. Moreover, attempts to adjust research practices to correspond with external, managerial experiences are far more consequential and damaging to the social sciences. This article interrogates the prospects and consequences of project thinking in the social sciences and discusses the likely epistemological consequences. To do so, it will recapitulate the historical and social developments that lead to the adoption of managerial principles in social science research and contrasts them with the philosophical principles that underpinned the scientification of thinking about the social.
Extract instructional process from xAPI log data: a case study in Japanese junior high school
Authors: Nakamura Kohei , Horikoshi Izumi , Majumdar Rwitajit , Ogata Hiroaki
Published: June 2024

This study proposed a method to automatically extract the instructional process from log data, which can be collected daily, to encourage teachers to reflect. We applied the proposed method to log data collected in a classroom and reported how the class proceeded. This is important to obtain feedback on the process of instruction and for teachers to improve their daily teaching. One of the popular methods of extracting instructional processes for teachers’ reflection has been video recording. However, it is challenging to use video recording for their reflection in daily classes because of data collection and analysis costs. To resolve this issue, our proposed method utilizes data that can be collected from daily class activities. This study offers a cost-effective and efficient method for teachers to visualize their instructional process and identify areas for improvement, contributing to the overall improvement of education quality.

Authors: ShekharTyagi Mr
Published: June 2024

The advent of Machine Learning (ML) combined with the Internet of Things (IoT) marks a new era in technology. This advancement has opened up possibilities for Even low-end IoT devices, such as microcontrollers, to become intelligent. This study underscores the importance of implementing onboard machine learning on these limited-resource microcontroller devices.​Throughout this research, we explore the application of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) within a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). WSNs, composed of strategically placed sensor nodes, gather environmental data. Due to their distributed nature, reliance on multi-hop data transmission, and the use of open wireless mediums, WSNs are particularly vulnerable to security breaches, making IDSs crucial for detecting and thwarting security threats.​Our proposed approach entails developing an IDS workflow to be integrated into each sensor node in a WSN, enabling the detection of potential security threats. This process involves capturing radio messages via Wireshark, extracting pertinent features from the data, and applying the Random Forest algorithm for anomaly detection. We created a training dataset through simulations in COOJA and evaluated the model using Arduino Nano 33 and esp8266 modules. The study also reviews existing techniques for retraining models on microcontrollers

Published: June 2024

High speed data transfer, higher receive reception, and an improved bit error rate are requirements in the present age of communication technology. The next-generation technology known as 5G is quickly gaining attention because it increases capacity while also offering excellent service quality, very low latency, and fast data speeds. Antenna design and development are essential for the proper operation of any 5G devices. With increased bandwidth, gain, and reduced radiation losses, the antenna should be able to cover the proposed 5G bands. It also needs to be inexpensive and small in size. The desire for high-quality, continuous broad band communications is common, high data rates and bandwidth, in particular in countries that are developing like India. Wireless systems data rates, capacities, and connection dependability may all be significantly increased using MIMO (multiple input and multiple output) technology due to its ability to transmit and receive data over many paths. Currently used in 4G user equipment, the MIMO system is a promising technology for application in 5G mobile terminals. As a result, a novel two-element MIMO antenna for 5G communication is described in this work. To effectively isolate the antenna radiators from one another, two radiators are used in this design, each having slits. Compared to earlier 5G antennas, the MIMO antenna will keep a typical small size

Published: June 2024

The objective of this project is to create a food quality sensor system utilizing the Arduino platform and a DHT-11 temperature and humidity sensor and the MQ-3 alcohol vapour detection sensor .The system provides a cost-effective solution for monitoring the freshness and safety of perishable food items. The DHT-11 sensor is employed to measure the temperature and humidity levels inside a food storage container. By monitoring these parameters, the system can determine whether the storage conditions are suitable for maintaining the quality of the food. If the temperature or humidity deviates from the desired range, the system can trigger an alert to notify the user. The MQ-3 sensor is utilized to detect alcohol vapour, which can be an indicator of food spoilage or contamination. When certain foods undergo decomposition, they release volatile compounds such as ethanol. The system can now detect the presence of alcohol vapours and generate an alert if detected beyond a predetermined threshold thanks to the integration of the MQ-3 sensor. The central processing unit for gathering data from the sensors and carrying out the required algorithms is the Arduino microcontroller. It interfaces with the DHT-11 and MQ-3 sensors to retrieve sensor readings. These readings are then processed to determine the food quality status. The Arduino can be programmed to send notifications via SMS, email, or other communication methods to inform the user about any potential issues. Overall, this food quality sensor system provides a cost-effective and easily implementable solution for monitoring the freshness and safety of food items. It can be utilized in various settings, including homes, restaurants, or food storage facilities, to ensure that the stored food remains within optimal conditions and to prevent the consumption of spoiled or contaminated items

The purpose of the research paper is to explore the definitions of HRD given by different authors with respect to inputs and outputs and to explore the difference between HRD as a process, activity, philosophy, practice, approach and system. The other objective is to explore the difference between skills, abilities, aptitudes, attitudes, personality, capabilities, talents and character of a person and to find out what is assessed in students during hiring and firing and to understand the tools used during selection and firing. Another objective is to find whether HRD is uniformly stated by different authors as a process, approach, philosophy, activity, system and practice and to find whether the selection tests used for hiring stated in different books are the same or not. The research design is exploratory as no questionnaire is used and no primary data is collected. The sample size of the number of books varied between 3 and 4 during different stages of the literature review. The research type is exploratory and descriptive with respect to the different objective types and the content is described to enhance the understanding. Process, learning, development and terms related to human capital are the elements of the majority of definitions of HRD. The definition of HRD was found to be output-oriented as greater number of terms stated were outputs than the number of terms stated as inputs. Achievement tests are used for assessing past educational accomplishments, ability tests for finding futuristic potential and personality for assessing feelings, thought processes etc. and all are a part of Psychological Assessment. The study concluded that there is no significant difference in the selection tests mentioned in different books and authors have uniformly stated HRD as a process, philosophy, approach, system, activity and practice. As firing is for non- performance and is caused by some underlying behavioral attributes like motivation, temperament etc. personality tests play an important role in firing also

Published: June 2024

Systemic inflammatory response, triggered by any kind of traumatic injury, surgical intervention or any microbial infection, can impose elevated metabolic requisites on diseased individuals, culminating in exhausation of vital nutritional reservoirs. Immunonutrition may be elucidated as the deliberate adjustment of immune system's efficacy or consequences of its activation, achieved through the consumption of nutrients or particular comestibles in quantities surpassing those customarily encountered in standard regimen.Immunonutrients refer to specific nutrients that have a notable impact on the immune system. Some essential immunonutrients include:Sulphur-containing amino acids, Ω-3 fatty acids, Anti-oxidants, Glutamine, Arginine, Nucleotides. These immunonutrients play crucial roles in supporting and enhancing the immune system's functions, contributing to overall health and well-being. Nutrient status has the potential to modulate cytokine biology and immune function. Inflammation may inhibit T lymphocyte function. Thus any nutrient, which has an anti-inflammatory effect, may enhance T lymphocyte function by removing this inhibitory influence. Nutrients may act at many cellular locations, affecting cytokine production and altering the response of target tissues to cytokines

Dental caries has emerged as a global health concern and needs immediate attention. Early diagnosis plays a critical role in its successful management and has gained importance in restorative dentistry as it focuses on minimally invasive treatment alternatives. Dental caries, if detected in early stages before cavitation or irreparable loss of tooth structure can result in an important change in choice of dental treatment or material. The conventional methods of caries detection are inconsistent as they are not specific and accurate. This has resulted in development of numerous new devices and procedures for identifying incipient carious lesions. The aim of the chapter is to create awareness amongst students and clinicians regarding contemporary caries detection methods which are less invasive and have better accuracy.

Blood-flow occlusion training, identified as blood-flow restriction training (BFRT) or occlusion-training, is a technique used in exercise and to rehabilitate weak muscles without excessive overloading. The restriction is usually done to the part of the body close to axial skeleton, such as the upper arm or upper thigh, to reduce arterial blood flow while allowing venous return. This causes temporary drop in oxygen supply of the working musculature, creating state of localized oxygen deficit. It leads to increased muscle hypertrophy, improved strength of musculature in not just appendicular skeleton but also in axial skeleton and also reduces stress on the joints. Various studies have been done in past to elaborate the physiology and effectiveness of this novel training in improvement of health of the joints of appendicular and axial skeleton. This chapter gives an insight into the various studies done on blood flow restriction training and its physiological basis.

Cerebral Paralysis( CP) is one of the most frequent causes of motor disability in children. 3 In every 1000 babies suffer from CP. The frequency is increasing in premature births. CP is a collection of interminable disorders that affect the growth of movement and posture and result in activity limitations. These disorders are thought to be the result of non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain. The threat factors for CP can be divided into pre-conception, antenatal, perinatal, and postnatal bones. The bracket of CP can be grounded on The type of movement complaint, level of damage, and Area of involvement. There are other medical conditions that are generally associated with CP, like epilepsy, internal deceleration, malnutrition, speech problems, osteoporosis, dysphagia, respiratory problems, vision problems, and sleep diseases. There's no cure for the complaint yet, but the symptoms can be managed through colorful approaches. Physiotherapy plays a veritably big part in treating the musculoskeletal symptoms of CP. Muscle training, flexibility, balance, mobility, and gait training are the core aspects of the physiotherapeutic approach. Recent advancements in the recuperation of CP help to avoid expensive hospitalization, reduce sanitarium length of stay, and allow patients to remain independent at home, minimizing the need for fiscal or caregiver support. Other ways of managing CP include medications, surgeries, and other forms of curative therapy. There are also certain challenges that patients and their caretakers might come across during the battle to fight the complaint, which should be taken into consideration while designing the protocol for recuperation. Thorough assessment, personalized treatment plans, and regular evaluation are required to address the specific requirements and challenges faced by these cases.
