Functional-semantic category of beingness in the Yakut language
Authors: Sivtseva N. A.
Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the functional-semantic category of beingness in the Yakut. The purpose of this article is to describe the structure of the category under consideration, identified on the Yakut material. The study is based on the functional-semantic approach, which allows us to display the holistic organization of universal semantic categories with specific content and means of expression. A brief description of the main directions of research into the category of beingness in linguistics, based on functional-semantic, linguopragmatic, syntactic approaches, is given. The structure of the functional- semantic category of beingness in Yakut is presented. The structure of the functional-semantic category of beingness in the Yakut language is presented. It was revealed that the functional-semantic field of beingness in Yakut has a polycentric structure, which is determined by the type of relationship of the semantics of beingness to the grammatical category (noun and verb) and the syntactic structure of the sentence (predicative and nominative constructions). From the position of the functional-semantic approach, the means of expressing the category of beingness in the Yakut can be combined into a functional-semantic field, consisting of two parts: the microfield of beingness, expressed by nominal means of denoting existence/non- existence, being/non-existence, presence/absence, and the microfield of beingness, represented by verbal means of denoting existence/non-existence, being/non-existence, presence/absence. The indicated parts of the functional-semantic field of beingness in the Yakut consist of multi-level means, dispersed according to the “center – periphery” principle. The article presen

The issue of preserving the language of an ethnic group as a language of communication, as well as a carrier of cultural codes, has now acquired particular urgency and relevance. How to preserve and develop a language in the conditions of globalization and widespread digitalization, in the conditions of coming, and in many ways already real, information chaos and in conditions when in the near future most of the known languages are threatened with complete extinction. Obviously, one of the reliable and promising solutions is embedding a language in the digital space as a language of accumulation, processing and transmission of information; a language of communication in the global Internet network. Currently, in the Republic of Tatarstan, a set of organizational and policy measures has been almost completely implemented and the necessary information and technological base has been created to ensure full functioning of the Tatar language in computer technologies, including business and management spheres, publishing, educational activities, linguistic research and development. Another effective and very promising activity is the research and use of the language as a cognitive-conceptual tool that can enrich the mental and spiritual space of civilization as a linguistic-semiotic resource that has the necessary potential for creating new knowledge processing technologies and an intelligent interface. This paper presents the experience of research and practical activities of the Institute of Applied Semiotics of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan in one of the important areas of artificial intelligence called “Natural Language Processing”. Research and development are carried out in three theoretical and applied areas: 1) Tatar national localization of infocommunication technologies, 2) Development of software tools, systems and technologies for natural language processing and creation of linguistic resources, 3) Creation of new intelligent information processing technologies based on the research the cognitive potential of the Tatar language.
A natureza paratática das causais explicativas em português
Authors: Colaço Madalena , Matos Gabriela
Published: October 2023

Causal explicative clauses headed by the connectors pois, que and porque in Portuguese, despite presenting some properties of subordination establish a paratactic relation with the sentence they are related to. We argue that they are parenthetical clauses that exhibit the properties of specifying coordination.
Variação e Desvio em Estruturas Comparativas do Português
Authors: Telmo Móia
Published: October 2023

In this paper, a group of relatively anomalous comparative constructions found in corpora of newspaper texts is studied from a syntactic and semantic perspective. These illustrate the fact that comparatives exhibit a high degree of variation in the standard variety of European Portuguese. Assuming the hypothesis that comparatives are a special type of relative clauses, and taking into account the grammatical properties of (the relevant) quantifiers, clitics and anaphoric expressions, an explanation is proposed as to why some marginal structures are more frequent – and better accepted – than others. Two major classes of comparative constructions are considered: those that include explicit anaphoric elements (in three kinds of environments), and those – arguably non-sentential in nature – that directly refer to degrees.

Published: October 2023

The main objective of this paper is to assess students’ textual and discursive awareness in the production of argumentative texts. The corpus, with texts of students from the 12th grade, was analysed according to the following phases: segmentation of the texts into smaller units, identification of rhetorical relations (Asher and Lascarides, 2003, a.o) and detection of elements and structures used to signal rhetorical relations and to organise discourse. The results allow us to conclude that students at the age of 17-19 have not achieved the degree of writing competence as required by the syllabus and the final exam.

The relevance of empirical data for sustaining research on second language learning is undeniable. Given the strong reliance of the quality of research results on the quality of the data on which these are based, the careful organization of learners’ corpora is paramount. The PL2 Oral Corpus project aims to provide researchers with oral production data elicited according to the protocol described, thus allowing for descriptions of learners’ interlanguages, accross different areas of Portuguese grammar and usage, as well as a sustained definition of PL2 speakers’ proficiency levels. This data base may also ground and validate didactic and pedagogical projects.

Mechanosensitive molecular junctions, where conductance is sensitive to an applied stress such as force or displacement, are a class of nanoelectromechanical systems unique for their ability to exploit quantum mechanical phenomena. Most studies so far relied on reconfiguration of the molecule-electrode interface to impart mechanosensitivity, but this approach is limited and, generally, poorly reproducible. Alternatively, devices that exploit conformational flexibility of molecular wires have been recently proposed. The mechanosensitive properties of molecular wires containing the 1,1’-dinaphthyl moiety are presented here. Rotation along the chemical bond between the two naphthyl units is possible, giving rise to two conformers (transoid and cisoid) that have distinctive transport properties. When assembled as single-molecule junctions, it is possible to mechanically trigger the transoid to cisoid transition, resulting in an exquisitely sensitive mechanical switch with high switching ratio (> 1E2). Theoretical modelling shows that charge reconfiguration upon transoid to cisoid transition is responsible for the observed behaviour, with generation and subsequent lifting of quantum interference features. These findings expand the experimental toolbox of molecular electronics with a novel chemical structure with outstanding electromechanical properties, further demonstrating the importance of subtle changes in charge delocalisation on the transport properties of single-molecule devices.
Mimicking charged host-defence peptides to tune antifungal activity and biocompatibility of amphiphilic polymers

Published: October 2023

Invasive fungal infections impose a substantial global health burden. They cause more than 1.5 million deaths annually and are insufficiently met by the currently approved antifungal drugs. Antifungal peptides are a promising alternative to existing antifungal drugs, however, they can be challenging to synthesise, and are often susceptible to proteases in vivo. Synthetic polymers which mimic the properties of natural antifungal peptides can circumvent these limitations. In this study, we developed a library of 29 amphiphilic polyacrylamides with different charged units, namely amines, guanidinium, imidazole, and carboxylic acid groups – representative of the natural amino acids lysine, arginine, histidine, and glutamic acid. Ternary polymers incorporating primary ammonium (lysine-like) or imidazole (histidine-like) groups demonstrated superior activity against Candida albicans and biocompatibility with mammalian cells compared to the polymers containing the other charged groups. Furthermore, a combination of primary ammonium, imidazole, and guanidinium (arginine-like) within the same polymer outperformed the antifungal drug amphotericin B in terms of therapeutic index and exhibited fast C. albicans killing activity. The most promising polymer compositions showed synergistic effects in combination with caspofungin and fluconazole against C. albicans and additionally demonstrated activity against other clinically relevant fungi. Collectively, these results indicate the strong potential of these easily producible polymers to be used as antifungals.

Li6PS5Cl has attracted much attention due to its high Li-ion conductivity and ease in processibility, which allows large-scale applications of solid-state batteries. However, when combined with high-voltage cathodes, Li6PS5Cl suffers from detrimental side reactions. Due to the stability towards high voltages combined with a relatively high Li-ion conductivity Li3InCl6 has been considered as catholyte with the potential to compensate Li6PS5Cl shortcomings. Despite previous claims about its (electro)chemical instability, we hypothesize that Li3InCl6 remains a promising choice when (i) triple junctions between Li3InCl6, Li6PS5Cl, and Ni-rich cathodes are avoided and (ii) the cut-off voltage is below 3.6 V (vs Li/In). Therefore, a core-shell-structured cathode, i.e., LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O₂ particles with a 100 nm thick pin-hole-free Li3InCl6 layer, has been developed using mechanofusion. When employed in a solid-state battery with a cut-off voltage of 3.58V (vs Li/In) a specific capacity enhancement of about 80 mAh/g at any C-rate (0.1 to 1C) was achieved. The stability of Li3InCl6 as well as its functionality to prevent Li6PS5Cl from decomposition and cathode particles from mechanical degradation has been demonstrated, by synchrotron operando XRD and, e.g., post-mortem analysis using Plasma FIB SEM and XPS. This study shows that Li3InCl6 can be used as catholyte when applied appropriately.
Simuladores en el marco de los resultados de aprendizaje de la formación de ingenieros
Authors: Monroy Moyano Wilson
Published: October 2023

Esta investigación nace de la problemática presentada en los cursos básicos de circuitos eléctricos de los programas de ingeniería electrónica e ingeniería de sistemas de la universidad de los Llanos. La problemática presentada consistía en las bajas notas obtenidas en los cursos de electrónica básica y de circuitos eléctricos. Las razones del bajo rendimiento en ocasiones eran presentadas por la falta de interés de los estudiantes en el proceso de aprendizaje, a los pocos recursos didácticos de la institución, y a la falta de manejo conveniente de recursos digitales especializados por parte de los docentes. Es importante mencionar que dentro de los resultados de aprendizaje (RA), “que indican lo que se espera que los estudiantes hayan aprendido al finalizar un curso, un tema o una clase” el manejo apropiado de los simuladores de circuitos eléctricos juegan un papel muy importante para la comprensión de los temas, interpretación de conceptos y el manejo y mediciones de las variables eléctricas. Las definiciones de los conceptos relacionados con la energía eléctrica (Voltaje, corriente, potencia, resistencia, energía, etc.), en ocasiones NO son de fácil entendimiento por parte de los estudiantes, lo que puede generar un desinterés en el desarrollo de los cursos. Por lo anterior, para dar respuesta a esta situación se propone una alternativa de enseñanza abierta que involucra el uso de SIMULADORES ELÉCTRICOS buscando obtener algún efecto en mejorar los niveles de aprobación de los cursos, con esta estrategia didáctica se espera que los estudiantes tengan una actitud que favorezca el aprendizaje de circuitos eléctricos. El trabajo desarrollado se enfocó en un proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, ya que es posible que la forma en que se estaba enseñando sea una de las causas que genera este problema, con los simuladores se busca obtener efectos positivos en los niveles de aprobación de los cursos. El trabajo consistió en intervenir a un grupo de 16 estudiantes con el recurso digital de simuladores eléctricos y de otra parte desarrollar el curso de manera tradicional, también con 16 estudiantes. Para la aplicación de los recursos digitales se utilizó la estrategia de diseño instruccional donde el modelo ADDIE (Analizar, Diseñar, Desarrollar, Implementar y Evaluar), sirve de referencia para este trabajo de investigación, que promueve el diseño innovador. Se emplearon pruebas de diagnóstico, aplicación de experimentos y proyectos aplicativos, también se utilizaron algunas técnicas cuantitativas para el análisis de la información y por último mencionar los alcances y limitaciones de este trabajo investigativo. Con este trabajo se pretende evaluar el desarrollo cognitivo con el uso de herramientas tecnológicas en los procesos de enseñanza de los conceptos relacionados con los circuitos eléctricos.

Published: October 2023

Aunque la producción de cacao en Colombia es importante, ocupando el noveno puesto a nivel mundial con una producción de alrededor de 67 mil toneladas, el proceso de cosecha sigue siendo tradicional con grandes demandas musculoesqueléticas en los campesinos. Siguiendo la metodología del diseño centrado en el usuario, se desarrolló un proyecto que busca mitigar los riesgos de carga y postura, cuando se transportan los bultos de cacao desde las áreas de cosecha a los puntos de fermentación. Este trabajo muestra el análisis del comportamiento musculoesquelético realizado sobre la propuesta de diseño, comparándola con las situaciones de trabajo actual. Para esto, se realizó observaciones en el campo, que permitieron estudiar el comportamiento postural y de carga de los campesinos en situaciones reales, para replicarlos en simuladores humanos (el software Jack de Siemmens). Los análisis ergonómicos se realizaron para hombres y mujeres en tres de las etapas del ciclo vital (juventud, adultez y persona mayor), en la tarea de carga normal y haciendo uso del diseño propuesto. Se encontró que los riesgos de carga y postura disminuyeron considerablemente, permitiendo que tanto hombres como mujeres puedan realizar la actividad de cosecha de mazorca de cacao, de manera autónoma.

Published: October 2023

La contaminación de los cuerpos de agua es una de las principales amenazas en los últimos tiempos. El uso de agua contaminada puede causar diversas enfermedades a humanos y animales, lo que a su vez afecta los diferentes ecosistemas. Si la contaminación del agua se detecta en una etapa temprana, se pueden tomar las medidas adecuadas que busquen evitar mayores dificultades. En el departamento de Bolívar y en especial en Cartagena, la medición de la calidad del agua se lleva a cabo únicamente en laboratorios de investigación en tiempos periódicos muy amplios, donde los datos se procesan en tiempo no real a través de la toma de muestras in-situ durante varias fases. Esta técnica requiere del personal que tome las muestras y toma tiempo de análisis en el laboratorio y es posible que al obtener el resultado la calidad del agua haya variado. Dado lo anterior existe la necesidad apremiante de comprender el alcance del problema de la contaminación del agua, a partir de su control y monitoreo que conlleven a la toma de medidas necesarias que garanticen la calidad y estabilidad de los ecosistemas acuáticos, en pro de contribuir al desarrollo científico regional y nacional. Las soluciones inteligentes para monitorear la contaminación del agua son cada vez más frecuentes e importantes en estos días y actualmente se disponen de sistemas con innovación en sensores, comunicación y tecnología basada en Internet de las Cosas (IoT). En este trabajo, se presentan los avances en la construcción de un sistema de monitoreo inteligente de bajo costo, rentable y eficiente para medir la calidad en cuerpos de agua en la ciudad de Cartagena basado en IoT. Este sistema monitorea diversos parámetros de calidad ininterrumpidamente y cuenta con componentes electrónicos para la medición de variables fisicoquímicas (Temperatura superficial (ST), pH, turbidez, conductividad, oxígeno disuelto (OD) y sólidos suspendidos totales (TDS)). El sistema permite determinar la calidad del agua y en tiempo real instaurándose como una herramienta que ayude en la toma de medidas de conservación y protección del recurso hídrico y que permita determinar su adecuado uso el consumo de agua en actividades para el sector agropecuario (riego agrícola y consumo de agua para animales), entre otros. El sistema dispone de una red inalámbrica de nodos sensores, cada nodo corresponde a una boya flotable, con baterías y un panel solar. Cada boya incluye además de los sensores, un microcontrolador para el procesamiento de los datos y para la comunicación y el envío de la información. Este trabajo presenta un sistema de monitoreo de agua de bajo costo y accesible, por lo anterior el sistema propuesto ayudará inmensamente a los entes de control locales como EPA o CARDIQUE en la toma de decisiones y para definir planes que ayuden a evitar la contaminación del agua.

Authors: Álvarez Gil Laura Carolina , Restrepo Martínez Alejandro
Published: October 2023

La dinámica en Ingeniería Mecánica requiere conocimientos previos de geometría vectorial, álgebra lineal, física mecánica y cálculo vectorial. A pesar de una buena base teórica, los estudiantes tienen dificultades para resolver problemas debido a la notación vectorial y a la falta de conexión entre conceptos y procedimientos. Para abordar estas dificultades, se llevó a cabo una investigación-acción utilizando encuestas y diarios para recabar información sobre las necesidades de los estudiantes. Se introdujeron cambios metodológicos para fomentar el pensamiento crítico y la reflexión sobre las implicaciones físicas. El material del curso se organizó en secciones que facilitaban la comprensión e identificaban los puntos débiles de los alumnos en cuanto a deficiencias operativas. Finalmente, concluimos que esta intervención mejoró la representación de ideas, la resolución de problemas y permitió atender las necesidades específicas de los estudiantes, así como generar una metodología para futuras intervenciones y el desarrollo de materiales didácticos.

The migration of the population in the Republic of Korea as one of the demographic indicators, along with the birth rate, mortality, natural increase, life expectancy, has undergone great changes during the twentieth century and, especially, in the last decades. The article is devoted to the study of various factors influencing the migration processes taking place in the Republic of Korea - these are historical, political, and socio-economic factors that determined the migration situation, a change in the direction of migration flows occurring in the country. The work focuses on both external migration processes, reflecting interstate relations, and internal migration processes, which reflect the level of government attention to the state as a whole, as well as the socio-economic development of individual regions, improving ties between provinces, central regions and capital cities of the country. When regulating external migration, it is taken into account that migrants can be citizens of both Korean origin and from other countries, therefore, special visas are provided for citizens of different categories to enter the country: for work, study, marriage, etc. Regulating internal migration, the government seeks to maintain a balance in the resettlement of the population throughout the country.

Geological exploration and mining operations have been conducted in the Vyvenka River basin on the Seinav-Galmoenan platinum deposit since 1994. The majority of the explored and prospective reserves are located in the valleys of spawning salmon tributaries, raising concerns about the environmental impact of mining activities. Despite the cessation of platinum mining in the 2010s, there has been a continuing impact on the river system in recent years, with extensive sediment plumes forming along the length of the rivers. This research aims to assess the dynamics of disturbed lands and determine the scale of sediment export into the river network from the territory of the ore mining sites of Vetvisty, Penisty, Ledyanoy, Yuzhny, and Levtyrinivayam. Field and satellite data were combined to analyze the suspended sediment discharge regime and the main sediment sources, i.e., the riverbank deformations along the mining sites. As of 2021, the total area of disturbed lands in the Vyvenka basin due to open-cast platinum mining is estimated to be 19.2 km2 corresponding to 0.15 % of the area of the Vyvenka River basin. Up to 75 % of the disturbed area consists of bare lands, making them prone to surface erosion. The largest amounts of sediment influx from the mining-affected river basins were observed in 2018 during the unevenly high freshet. The increased sediment discharge was due to the overflow of sedimentation ponds in certain areas. The study results indicate a prolonged anthropogenic impact on river ecosystems, manifested in the change of hydrological regime, activation of channel deformations, and the increased sediment influx to the river network from ore mining sites.

Eolian processes associated with the destruction, transportation and deposition of sedimentary rock by wind develop in arid natural zones, as well as on agricultural lands. The general conditions for their development are completely absent or sparse vegetation cover, the presence of dispersed rocks and strong winds. Aeolian processes are most developed in deserts and semi-deserts, where many researchers have studied them. In the forest zone of the West Siberian Plain, these processes have been poorly studied. Researchers classify the taiga and subtaiga in the Ob and Irtysh basins either as non-deflationary or as a zone of accumulation of aeolian material. Deforestation, plowing of land, construction of various communications contribute to the development of eolian processes. Our long-term observations of eolian processes in the southeast of the subtaiga zone of the West Siberian Plain have shown that wind erosion is observed here and has focal development. The wind of the study area is characterized by gustiness, the wind speed in gusts reaches up to 20 m/s. Strong winds with a maximum speed of 25–27 m/s occur in all seasons of the year. Such winds are the most dangerous in relation to the development of wind erosion of soils on flat farmlands without forest and shrub plantations. Based on the use of natural accumulator - snow cover and atmospheric dust traps, the intensity of accumulation of eolian sediment in the snow mass and on its surface was revealed. The studies were conducted during the spring thaw for the period from 1989 to 2023. The intensity of development of wind erosion also depends on the state of the agricultural background. It has been established that up to 1000 g/m2 of eolian sediment accumulates in the plowing in the thickness of the snow on arable land, and up to 50 g/m2 in the stubble, shoots of winter, perennial grasses. During the spring melting of snow, up to 300–360 g/m2 of eolian sediment accumulates on its surface over fallow and up to 50 g/m2 over stubble and grasses. In the cedar forest, bordering on agricultural landscapes, no more than 25 g/m2 is accumulated during the specified period. The processes of blowing and accumulation of soils in agricultural landscapes are characterized by uneven development, but they contribute to the migration of matter. Dust particles are deposited in forest belts separating agricultural land. Due to this, the content of humus in the soils of forest belts is higher than on arable land and reaches up to 10 %.

Published: October 2023

The article presents the results of assessing the favorableness of bioclimatic conditions as an important element of the tourism potential of the territory of Western Kazakhstan. Calculations of the tourist climate index (TCI) and analysis of its spatial and temporal variability based on data from representative weather stations for 1976–2020 have been performed. It has been determined that the territory of Western Kazakhstan is homogeneous in terms of the average annual TCI, but is extremely variable in terms of the intra-annual course of the index: from an “extremely unfavorable” level in winter months to a “comfortable” level in summer. The differentiation of tourist activities types in Western Kazakhstan is presented, taking into account the favorable weather and climatic conditions. Based on territorial studiesand in connection with them, it was found that TCI in its current form is not entirely correct for arid and semi-arid territories with high average daily temperatures, and in the light of modern trends in increasing the average global surface temperature, this index needs to be updated.

This article is focused on the results of the research, which is intended to design of a single-axle tipping tractor trailer. The trailer consists of two main parts, a frame and a superstructure. Both parts of the trailer must undergo strength analyses under determined loading conditions. While results of strength analyses of the frame were already presented on the previous event, this work shows an overview of the strength analysis of the tipping superstructure of the trailer. The structure has been analysed under static loads and dynamical effects have been considered by means of a dynamic coefficient. The task has been performed by application of the Finite Element Method (FEM). Some chosen load cases have been analysed and the distribution of stresses in the structure has been evaluated. Results have shown that the designed structure of the tipping superstructure is able to withstand the given loads and it can be used in practice.

Human rights, legal literacy and social well-being are dynamic concepts that will find expanded expression and constantly cover new areas as human society continues to evolve to higher levels of development. Education for these concepts are applicable at all levels of education. In the book "Dictionary of Education", Carter V. Good, emphasized that from the early years of the child, the human rights education, legal literacy and social well-being are necessary. Preschool and early primary education can highlight a sense of common humanity among children. The older primary school children are aware of social and political issues and they have a right to learn about values, which have been universally proclaimed. Before any effective policy is launched for the human development, awareness should be aroused. But the question is that how it can be ensured that the masses and the younger generation in schools and colleges are aware of the Governments polices which guarantee world peace, prosperity and universal brotherhood. Today we have the modern system of communication. Durham, in a chapter from the book "From Sovereign Impunity to International Accountability" published in 2004, has mentioned that we can know what is happening and where it is happening in the world. But we have seen a large number of violation examples which are gradually increasing. Betty A. Reardon, in the book "Educating for Human Dignity: Learning about Rights and Responsibilities" published in the year 1995, pointed out that trends have emerged where individuals betrayed scant regard for the life and dignity of others. Education can play a strong role to secure human rights and dignity of human being. Before imparting this kind of education to them, how far they are aware about human rights and legal literacy should be measured. Thus, this study is a task to understand the awareness of Human rights, legal literacy, and social well-being of secondary school students of Srinagar and Budgam Districts of Jammu and Kashmir. In the present study, the investigator followed survey and correlational research.

Background: Due to the outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), many restrictions and temporary lockdown were carried out. As a result, previous lifestyle, including diet, were disrupted.Objectives: The aim of this review was to assess changes in eating behavior during the COVID-19 compared to the period before pandemic in Poland. Methods: In the review involved original studies concerning adults Poles (aged ≥ 18), including changes in their eating behavior.Results: The COVID-19 pandemic and the social isolation periods had ambiguous influence on diet in Poland. The changes were dependent on many factors e.g. age, sex, education, occupation, or body weight. In general, regular diet pattern was followed. In case of changes, positive and negative eating habits were observed. Improper eating behavior such as the increase of total food and junk food intake was noticed, however improvement of the diet also was observed. Consumption of healthy food, such as vegetables and fruit went up. The significant increase of home cooking also was noticed.Conclusions: The present review indicates the need for future strategies to assess nutrition in cases of alarming situations. Promoting healthy eating behavior appears to be essential, especially during the pandemic.

Background: Hands are the most common medium for spreading disease. Red betel leaf has antibacterial bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, polyphenols, tannins, and essential oils. The most common way to clean hands is to use hand sanitizer.Objective: To determine the antibacterial potential of red betel leaf extract (Piper crocatum Ruiz & Pav.) against the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Salmonella typhi as an active ingredient in hand sanitizers. Methods: Each bacterium, namely Staphylococus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes and Salmonella typhi were divided into 6 groups, PEG 5% as a negative control, clindamycin for Staphylococus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes and chloramphenicol for Salmonella typhi as a positive control, 70% alcohol as a comparison for hand sanitizer, extract 20%, 40%, and 80% as treatment groups. The obstacle zone is measured using a ruler.Results: Zones of inhibition against Staphylococus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Salmonella typhi were formed at concentrations of 20%, 40%, and 80%. Kruskal Wallis statistical analysis showed significant results with p=0.000.Conclusion: Red betel leaf extract has statistically significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes and Salmonella typhi. The extract concentration of 40% is the optimal concentration as a raw material for hand sanitizer.

Background:  Adherence to taking medication is a prerequisite for hypertension treatment to be more effective and most likely to cure patients in controlling hypertension so that complications and death do not occurObjective: The objective of this study is to discover the dominant factors of elderly hypertension patients' conformity to medication at the Jatinegara District Health CenterMethods: It is a quantitative study with Cross Sectional approach. It involved 200 respondents, as the sample was taken using a quota sampling technique.Results: Univariate results showed that 25% of elderly hypertensive patients did not adhere to medication. In bivariate analysis, it was found that family support, self-efficacy, motivation, and health workers' roles were related (p-value <0.05) to adherence to hypertension medication consumption. Meanwhile, no relation (p-value 0.05) existed between age, knowledge, attitude, access to healthcare facilities, and JKN participation variables. The dominant variable observed from the multivariate result was the interaction of attitudes and self-efficacy (OR: 23,943).Conclusion:Based on multivariate analysis, it was found that the influential factors were self-efficacy and attitudes.
Improving Teachers’ Attitudes Toward the Teaching of Intellectually Disabled Students through Training in Evidence-Based Practices
Authors: Al-Ali Omar Ahmed , Gaber Sherif Adel
Published: October 2023

Evidence-based practices (EBPs) implemented by qualified teachers are witnessing remarkable success in the education of students with intellectual disability (ID) and may hold promise for improving teachers’ attitudes toward their profession. To test this idea, the current research prepared a training program based on EBPs. The research sample consisted of 72 teachers in intellectual education programs attached to general education schools in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. A quasi-experimental approach was adopted. The sample was divided into two groups: an experimental group (n = 34) and a control group (n = 38). Two instruments were utilized in this research: (a) the Attitudes toward the Profession Scale (ATPS) prepared by Al-Ajmi (2015), and (b) a training program based on EBPs developed by us. The results of the study show that there was a difference between the experimental and control groups in the post-test of the ATPS in favor of the experimental group. In addition, there was a difference between the mean scores of the experimental group in the pre- and post-tests of the ATPS in favor of the post-test. The findings suggest that intellectual education teachers’ (IETs) professional development programs should focus on improving evidence-based training and continuously evaluate their impact on students with ID’s classroom performance for long-term effectiveness. Finally, the research could be expanded to examine the impact of EBP training on IETs’ attitudes toward their students in a larger sample representative of the community.

Ash-Shidiq Foundation recently established the Integrated Islamic Middle School (SMP IT). Currently, the school manages academic data manually, either on paper or through spreadsheet applications. Recognizing an opportunity, the Telkom University Software Engineering Expertise Group decided to provide community service by implementing a web-based academic information system for the school. This system is hosted on a server accessible via the Internet, enabling staff, teachers, and students to access it. It aims to simplify academic data reporting for school managers. The entire community service project, from initial observation to system installation, training, video documentation, and final report preparation, spanned approximately six months. Training sessions were conducted in a classroom setting for school principals, staff, and teachers. Feedback from this community service activity showed that 25% strongly agreed, 37.5% agreed, and 37.5% were neutral regarding the suitability of the training material to partners' needs. Regarding the presentation of material, 75% strongly agreed, 25% agreed, and 50% were neutral, with 37.5% in agreement and 12.5% in disagreement about the usefulness of the technology offered.
