Die Leuenberger Konkordie als ökumenisches Modell? Eine baptistische Sicht
Authors: Zimmermann Maximilian
Published: August 2023

Baptistische Theologie beantwortet die Frage nach ihrer Meinung zur Leuenberger Konkordie als ökumenischem Modell mit einem dreifachen Ja, denn das Modell der „Einheit in versöhnter Verschiedenheit“ trifft Kernanliegen baptistischer Ekklesiologie und Theologie: die Eigenständigkeit einzelner Kirchen, die geistgewirkte Einheit in Vielfalt sowie die Frage nach dem theologischen Stellenwert verbindender Strukturen.
Shame on me: the individual whitewash of a social stigma underpinned by language ideologies
Authors: Molina Clara
Published: August 2023

Language ideologies are a powerful way of perpetuating inequalities, as peripheralized speakers who have internalized the lack of legitimacy attributed to them often end up reproducing censure rather than resisting it. Foregrounding the affective dimension, this paper explores the role of shame as a fulcrum articulating the individual with the collective in the perpetuation of linguistic stigma. To do so, it presents excerpts of autobiographies written by university students that reveal the impact of language idealization on the subjectivities of those who, by deviating from the norm, forge subaltern identities. As victims of language shaming are often unaware that their suffering is due to ideologies, but instead blame it on personal failings, rather than challenge the linguistic vigilantes who harass them, they silence themselves. The paper discusses how the inherently social nature of the construction of otherness and stigma is obscured by the individuality of shame and presents an educational intervention with which to scaffold students to overcome language shame.

A serragem de madeira é um dos resíduos mais abundantes e pouco aproveitados gerados pela indústria madeireira brasileira. Considerando o enorme potencial de reaproveitamento desses resíduos, o presente estudo propõe uma rota alternativa e sustentável para a produção de grafeno a partir da serragem de tauari, uma espécie de madeira da Amazônia. A síntese de grafeno foi realizada através da carbonização dos resíduos a diferentes temperaturas e tempos. Os resultados indicaram que a serragem de tauari apresentou um teor de umidade entre 80 e 81%, o que permite fácil remoção da água durante a secagem. Além disso, as cinzas produzidas a partir da carbonização apresentaram maiores percentuais de carbono quando expostas a temperaturas de 300 e 400 °C por 60 minutos. O perfil morfológico das amostras também sugere que esses resíduos são uma fonte promissora de carbono. Dessa forma, a serragem de tauari pode ser considerada uma matéria-prima viável para a produção de carvão ativado e óxido de grafeno. Essa pesquisa contribui para o desenvolvimento de alternativas mais sustentáveis e economicamente viáveis para a produção de grafeno. Além disso, o estudo aponta para a importância da reutilização dos resíduos da indústria madeireira como estratégia para reduzir o impacto ambiental.

Por se tratar de uma fonte renovável de energia, estudos sobre a obtenção de energia elétrica por meio da energia das ondas do mar vem ganhando destaque ao longo dos anos. Com esta motivação, o presente trabalho avalia geometricamente um dispositivo conversor de energia das ondas do tipo coluna de água oscilante (CAO), que é composto por uma câmara hidropneumática e um duto de ar, onde uma turbina e um gerador elétrico são acoplados. A câmara é aberta abaixo do nível da superfície livre, enquanto o duto é aberto para a atmosfera. O movimento oscilante das ondas provoca o escoamento do ar dentro desta estrutura, acionando a turbina que produz energia elétrica. Para a avaliação geométrica do CAO, utilizou-se o design construtal aliado à busca exaustiva na investigação do grau de liberdade H1/L1, razão entre a altura e o comprimento da câmara hidropneumática, mantendo constante a área da câmara. Considerou-se um domínio computacional bidimensional em escala de laboratório e a incidência de ondas regulares. As simulações foram realizadas no Fluent e o modelo multifásico volume of fluid (VOF) foi utilizado. A geometria ótima foi encontrada para H1/L1 = 0,80, atingindo eficiência 1,5 vezes superior do que a pior, H1/L1 = 5,00.
The role of farmer networks in supporting adaptive capacity: Opening the door for innovation and transformation in the Northeastern United States
Authors: White Alissa , Faulkner Joshua W. , Niles Meredith T. , Conner David , Mendez V. Ernesto
Published: August 2023

This article explores the role of farmer networks in building the adaptive capacity of small and diversified farmers in the Northeastern United States. Previous research suggests that farmers’ networks are the backbone of practical agricultural knowledge systems in the United States, serving as a critical venue where growers exchange and negotiate new ideas. Drawing upon empirical evidence from a regional survey on climate resilience and a series of focus groups conducted in collaboration with 9 farmer organizations from Pennsylvania to Eastern Canadian provinces, this article examines how the emergence of new ideas and agroecological innovations are influenced by geography, network affiliation, and perceived agency. First, we use regression analysis to identify factors that influence the use of no-till on diversified vegetable and berry farms, which is an emerging innovation in this community. Our analysis shows that geography may not be a significant driver of adoption among the population we sampled, which contrasts with previous research on explanatory factors, yet affiliation with certain farmer networks was significant in predicting the use or intended use of the practice. This quantitative analysis is complemented by qualitative data from a series of focus groups in which farmers identify the characteristics of certain networks which support them in addressing new challenges. Farmers identified that networks support them in learning about new ideas, accessing resources, and engaging in creative problem-solving, through facilitation of spaces for exchange with peers and experts and being responsive to their emerging needs.

Abstract

 

Arabic teaching suffers from the problem of forming students who are proficient in communicative skills, as it is difficult to master, and the reason may be due to the lack of appropriate methods. The objectives of this research are to highlight the teaching methods for developing the communication skills of Indonesian students according to the perspective of Ahmad Fuad Effendi, one of the prominent experts in Arabic teaching in Indonesia. Researchers use qualitative approach by studying the perspective of experts in Arabic teaching. The data was taken from the documents related to the subject, especially the book Methods of Teaching the Arabic Language, and the interview with the author. The data was analyzed according to the theory of Miles, Huberman and Saldana. The results of this research, it is that the teaching methods for developing the communication skills of Indonesian students according to the perspective of Ahmad Fuad Effendi contain three things: (1) the need to benefit from the different language teaching methods, as there is no single method suitable for all circumstances and situations. (2) Emphasis on the communicative aspect in teaching Arabic, because the most important objectives of teaching Arabic are communication. (3) The application of intensive Arabic lessons to teach language skills, where sufficient study hours are available. The conclusion of this research indicated that mastering communication skills can be obtained from the use of various methods with special attention to communicative learning and intensive learning.

Abstract:

This study aims to identify and describe the management, activities and strategies of the Arabic Language MGMP Forum in developing the pedagogic competence of Arabic teachers in Central Java. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques include interviews, questionnaires and documentation studies. Interviews were conducted with the committee, while the questionnaire was given to members of the Central Java Arabic Language MGMP Forum. The results showed that the Central Java Arabic MGMP Forum was optimal in developing the pedagogic competence of Arabic teachers in Central Java. This is evidenced by some programs that adapt to the needs of teachers, but from a management perspective it needs to be improved so that it can run optimally. First, there is a need for management of the Arabic Language MGMP Forum in each city or district in Central Java. Second, there is a need for regular meetings of the core board of the Central Java Arabic MGMP Forum and City/Regency level administrators on a regular basis either offline or online. Third, there needs to be a socialization of the programs of the Central Java Arabic MGMP Forum to Arabic language teachers in Central Java, so that the enthusiasm of members is higher. Fourth, the Central Java Arabic MGMP Forum must increase collaboration with external organizations to jointly support and develop teachers’ pedagogy through the MGMP Forum, collaboration can be done with universities, language centers, and education policy makers from the Ministry of Education and Culture and/or the Ministry of Religion at the provincial level as well as the provincial government or district/city governments in Central Java.

Penyebab yang mendorong terjadinya interferensi fonologi adalah faktor internal yang bersumber dari santri dan faktor eksternal yang bersumber dari pembina. Penelitian ini dapat digunakan untuk memberikan gambaran mengenai interferensi fonologi yang harus dihindari oleh santri saat belajar bahasa Arab.
STRATEGI PENERJEMAHAN DALAM BUKU KEMBALINYA SURGA YANG HILANG (SEBUAH EPOS LAHIRNYA BANGSA INDONESIA) TERJEMAHAN ‘AUDATUL FIRDAUS KARYA ALI AHMAD BAKATSIR
Authors: Rohmawati Intan , Rahmawati Nailur
Published: August 2023

In an effort to add insight and knowledge and open the mind about the Arab  world, one of them is by reading Arabic literature. One of the works of Arabic literature  is 'Audatul Firdaus, a play written by an Egyptian writer named Ahmad Ali Bakatsir.  This research is a type of qualitative descriptive research. The data on this study is in  the form of words, phrases, or sentences contained in the book 'Audatul Firdaus and  its translation entitled Kembalinya Surga yang Hilang (Sebuah Epos Lahirnya Bangsa Indonesia).  

Based on the results of the analysis of translation strategies in the book  Kembalinya Surga yang Hilang (Sebuah Epos Lahirnya Bangsa Indonesia) translation 'Audatul Firdaus there are 6 types of translation methods, 5 translation  procedures, and 9 translation techniques which are the description of translation  procedures according to Newmark. This translation is oriented towards the source  language. The use of translation methods that are oriented in the source language even  reaches 75%. The most dominant type of method is the literal method. The most  dominant type of procedure used is transposition procedure. Differences in Indonesian  and Arabic systems require structural adjustments in the translation process. Such  adjustments to reconstruct Tsu in Tsa are reasonable. So that the translation can be  received by Bsu readers and the message can be delivered. While the most dominant  type of technique used is the transfer technique. Transfer techniques are more widely  used to translate character names. That is because the type of text analyzed is drama  text so many write the name of the character in the dialogue.

Published: August 2023

This study examines the application of the self-regulated learning method in improving the ability of students of the Unnes Arabic education study program in translating Indonesian texts into Arabic. Indonesian-Arabic translation skills require many other supporting abilities, such as knowledge of grammar, semantics, and cultural insight both used in the source language and also the target language. Therefore, a separate method is needed that allows students to examine many aspects of this knowledge to be able to translate Indonesian-Arabic texts. The method is self-regulated learning which is able to increase student motivation in learning, self-regulation, time and learning methods to achieve learning goals as well as reflecting and evaluating the activities and learning outcomes that are applied. The research subjects in this study were Arabic students of the Unnes Arabic Language Education study program semester VI who took the Indonesian-Arabic Tarjamah course, Big Class B. This research took place from March-June 2021. The results of this study showed the application of the self-regulated learning method in Indonesian-Arabic tarjamah lectures, are able to increase motivation and ability to translate Indonesian-Arabic which can be seen from the final grades of students with a presentation of 5 (20%) students graduating with an A grade (86-87). 19 (76%) students got AB scores (81-85), and 1 (4%) students got B grades (78).
Dieta y selección de pasto por garranos ("Equus ferus atlanticus") de Galicia
Authors: Bas López Santiago
Published: August 2023

Se realizó un seguimiento, por observación directa y próxima, durante 119 horas repartidas a lo largo de los años 2014 y 2015 acerca del pasto natural que consumieron dos yeguas garranas (Equus ferus atlanticus) en hábitats del suroeste de Galicia. Durante dichas observaciones se distinguieron las especies vegetales que los animales consumieron, las que evitaron y aquellas que probaron y rechazaron.

Las yeguas evitaron consumir, de promedio, un 57,46 % de las 141 especies que contactaron. Entre las fanerógamas ciertas especies fueron comidas siempre que las contactaban, mientras que otras fueron ocasionalmente evitadas y otras siempre evitadas. Las yeguas consumieron a lo largo de las distintas estaciones del año una combinación de especies herbáceas y leñosas, entre las que destacaron plantas de la familia Poaceae y del género Ulex. Nunca ingirieron Basidiomicetes ni criptógamas, con la única excepción de Pteridium aquilinum (L.) durante el verano. Del mismo modo, también evitaron consumir las especies arbóreas presentes excepto bellotas de roble (Quercus robur L.) y, en raras ocasiones, hojas de sauce (Salix atrocinerea Brot.) y de roble . Hubo alguna variación estacional significativa de la dieta de los animales.

Los resultados obtenidos en el presente estudio pueden servir de base documental, para la gestión y manejo de los garranos de Galicia, los cuales se encuentran en la actualidad en un marcado descenso poblacional.
The Electromagnetic Scattering Problem by a Cylindrical Doubly-Connected Domain at Oblique Incidence: An Inverse Problem
Authors: Mindrinos Leonidas
Published: August 2023

In this work, we examine the inverse problem to reconstruct the inner boundary of a cylindrical doubly-connected infinitely long medium from measurements of the scattered electromagnetic wave in the far-field. We consider the integral representation of the solution to derive a non-linear system of equations for the unknown radial function. We propose an iterative scheme using linearization and regularization techniques.
Inflectional classes without class features
Authors: Don Jan , Bergsma Fenna , Merkuur Anne , Smith Meg
Published: August 2023

In this paper, we propose a comprehensive account of the paradigms of Frisian verb-classes. Verb-classes in Frisian are an example of a more general phenomenon of inflectional classes that we encounter in many natural languages across the major word classes. Members of different inflectional classes show different paradigms. Traditionally, inflectional classes have been analyzed using class-features (see e.g., Marzi et al. 2020). However, such features suffer from being ad hoc devices that seem to have no other function in the grammar than to code this difference. In the present analysis we propose that the verb stems from different classes show a difference in size. Using phrasal spell-out, we will show that these stems differ in the amount of morpho-syntactic structure that they may realize, rendering class-features superfluous.
Smaller syntax for English stative passives: A first report
Authors: Embick David
Published: August 2023

One of the basic questions in the theory of morphology concerns the nature of word formation: how morphemes are assembled into larger objects, and—crucially—whether there are distinct systems in which this occurs (lexicon versus syntax), or just one. Stative (a.k.a. “adjectival”) passives like opened in the opened door, or flattened in the metal is flattened, have provided an interesting testing ground for questions of this type. Following a period in which such passives were argued to be formed lexically, much subsequent work has developed the idea that they are derived syntactically, in fully phrasal structures. This paper examines a number of properties of English stative passives which raise problems for a fully phrasal treatment. These include (but are not limited to) (i) modification asymmetries relative to eventive passives; and (ii) interactions with un-prefixation. The generalizations that are revealed suggest that stative passives are built syntactically, but without phrasal internal structure: what I call small(er) syntax. Importantly, small structures are not tantamount to a lexical analysis; I provide a direct comparison that argues that the evidence favors the smaller type of approach. The argument for small structures has implications for the syntax of Roots that are introduced throughout the discussion.
Centrifuge modelling of blast effects in dry sand: Coriolis effect and soil arching
Authors: Guan Longhua , Zhao Fengkui , Lu Qiang , Li Junchao , Wang Yubing , Zhu Bin , Zhang Dezhi
Published: August 2023

Centrifuge model tests are conducted to investigate the dynamic response of dry sand under blast loading. The characteristics and propagation mode of blast waves in dry sand are studied. The Coriolis effect on blast-induced cratering is carefully scrutinised, and both the theoretical and experimental results are provided and agree with each other. In the explosion-induced cratering process, the sand ejecta is subjected to horizontal and vertical Coriolis forces simultaneously; the former directly determines the horizontal motion offset, while the latter affects the particle motion by altering the flight time, and the Coriolis effect on cratering can only be observed apparently for soil ejecta with a relatively small launch angle. Redistribution of the static earth pressure (blast-induced arching effect) in deep-buried, fully confined explosion events under hypergravity is observed. The friction between sand particles is significantly enhanced by the hypergravity to serve as the supporting arch springing. Conceptual analysis is conducted to further reveal the mechanism of the blast-induced arching effect based on the trapdoor test, from the three aspects of displacement mode, stress development and post-detonation stress distribution.
Acoso sexual y universidad. Realidades, debates y experiencias en el Ecuador
Authors: Guarderas-Albuja Paz , Cuvi Juan , Larrea María de Lourdes , Reyes Masa Betti , Carrión Berrú Celsa Beatriz
Published: August 2023

El acoso sexual universitario fue silenciado en el contexto ecuatoriano hasta el 2015, cuando los movimientos estudiantiles y feministas lo visibilizaron. Desde entonces, medios de comunicación, universidades y auditorios se han impregnado de conceptos, datos, denuncias, testimonios y reflexiones en torno a esta problemática. En ese decurso, en este libro se compilan debates clave con la intención de promover miradas más allá de lecturas reduccionistas, victimistas y punitivas. Escritas en diferentes registros y tonos, las secciones difractan el fenómeno y lo comprenden desde su multiplicidad, sin intenciones unívocas. Se reconocen las especificidades del acoso sexual universitario con base en cifras, también los mecanismos de dominio y sus improntas a nivel subjetivo. Se narran las experiencias asociadas a los protocolos y sus limitaciones en la aplicación, dejando entrever que garantizar normativas es fundamental, pero hay que apostar por los cambios en las dinámicas patriarcales. Se apunta que el horizonte de transformación está en los procesos de acompañamiento feminista y psicosocial y las acciones políticas colectivas. Este libro es precursor y contribuye a la lucha feminista para el reconocimiento pleno de las subjetividades en el ámbito educativo y convertir a las universidades en espacios cargados de ética del cuidado mutuo.

La identidad personal de cada uno de nosotros está condicionada por las circunstancias en las cuales nacimos y crecimos, las personas con las cuales tuvimos contacto y las experiencias que vivimos. De igual manera, la identidad de una institución de educación superior está marcada por esa serie de circunstancias que movieron a su creación, las personas que fueron protagonistas en su desarrollo y los hechos que forjaron su carácter único entre las instituciones de educación superior de su región o país.
¿Es posible una enseñanza contextualizada del potencial de acción, sin ahondar en sus bases moleculares?
Authors: Píriz Giménez Nazira
Published: August 2023

Investigaciones didácticas sobre la enseñanza del potencial de acción han evidenciado dos grandes problemáticas: su enseñanza descontextualizada y su abordaje meramente descriptivo. Adicionalmente se han descrito dificultades múltiples por parte de estudiantes en la concepción del potencial de membrana como fenómeno abstracto y local, así como en sus factores determinantes. Este ensayo consiste en un texto argumentativo que propone y desarrolla la tesis de que la enseñanza contextualizada del potencial de acción requiere ahondar en sus bases moleculares, por lo que los problemas señalados resultan complementarios para su comprensión. Se concluye que las propiedades del potencial de acción tales como la propagación, umbral, autorregeneración y refractariedad, por un lado resultan claves en su contextualización y por otro lado requieren para su comprensión de ahondar en las bases moleculares de la respuesta eléctrica referida. Adicionalmente, se discuten algunas estrategias propuestas para su enseñanza.
Propuesta de un sistema categorial para indagar los enfoques de biodiversidad en el aula
Authors: Zamora Cuéllar Brenda , Urzúa Hernández María del Carmen
Published: August 2023

El tópico de biodiversidad (BD) forma parte de los diferentes currículos de Biología, sin embargo, no se le ha otorgado la suficiente importancia ante las diferentes problemáticas que actualmente se presentan en el mundo. Aunado a lo anterior, se desconocen los enfoques de BD que se enseñan, por lo que ante la pregunta ¿qué marco referencial permite identificar estos enfoques y que categorías nos dan cuenta de ellos? se planteó como objetivo de esta investigación el diseño y validación de un sistema categorial. La construcción de este sistema comprendió las siguientes fases: investigación documental sobre las definiciones del concepto BD, las que al ser comparadas dieron lugar a una primera propuesta de sistema, misma que fue sometida a una primera validación por grupo de trabajo, en la que se decidió una reducción en el número de enfoques y clarificación de las categorías, a partir de este análisis se obtuvo una segunda versión que fue validada por seis expertos; derivada de las observaciones recibidas y de una nueva revisión de la literatura, se construyó la versión final. El sistema categorial resultante consta de tres enfoques de Biodiversidad denominados: Biologicista, Económico-Politicista y Bioculturalista y cinco categorías analíticas: especies y ecosistemas, conservación, variabilidad genética, relación de las personas con la BD y Regiones geopolíticas. Si bien se cuenta con un sistema válido, se recomienda validar mediante el pilotaje del mismo a fin de confirmar la pertinencia y suficiencia de sus componentes. Finalmente, se considera que el sistema construido constituye una aportación al campo.
Enriqueciendo la representación de ambiente asociada a las curtiembres a partir de una visión agroecológica. Un análisis de intervención educativa con jóvenes del barrio San Benito
Authors: Rojas Juan , Velasco Danyela , Pachón Juan , Granobles Maillyn
Published: August 2023

Desde el punto de vista de la agroecología, el agroecosistema es visto de manera holística, puesto que, se integran diferentes esferas de conocimiento las cuales se relacionan unas con otras, mostrando así una percepción más integral del ambiente. El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo enriquecer la representación de ambiente de jóvenes de 18 a 24 años habitantes del barrio San Benito, relacionada a las curtiembres puesto que es una problemática socioambiental compleja, el barrio es conocido por la cantidad de contaminación que presenta, además es una actividad que influencia se manera económica y cultural a las personas de la zona.Para ello, se aplicó una encuesta semiestructurada después de una intervención didáctica enfocada a reconocer las relaciones y elementos en los diferentes ejes del ambiente y las curtiembres desde un ámbito agroecológico, dando como resultado dos tipos de representaciones una naturalista/antropocéntrica y otra relacional ambiental/antropocéntrica, en donde se evidencian componentes no solo sobre los aspectos naturales del ambiente, también hay articulación hacia temas políticos, sociales y culturales que giran en torno al ser humano.Se evidenció que desde una temática estructural como lo es la agroecología, es posible ampliar la representación de un problema socioambiental e incluso promueve pensar en una solución, sin embargo, se hallan influencias ecologistas que lo limitan, de manera que en estos procesos es clave que se lleven desde lo interdisciplinar para proyectar una formación crítica ciudadana como punto de partida para el cambio social, donde la enseñanza de la biología tiene un papel crucial.
FEMALE ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND LIVELIHOOD MAKING IN CHIGUMULA, BLANTYRE AND THABWA, CHIKWAWA DISTRICTS IN MALAWI
Authors: Phiri Merina , Rantšo Tšepiso
Published: August 2023

Small scale businesses in Africa and other developing countries play an important role in creating employment opportunities and improving the lives of women. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the contribution of female owned enterprises to livelihood making in Malawi. The study also examines the factors that affect performance of female owned enterprises. The study used the mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative) approach to collect data from female entrepreneurs. The probability (simple random sampling) and non-probability sampling (snow balling) techniques were used to select the respondents. The research findings reveal that, some Non-Governmental Organisations support female entrepreneurs with start-up capital as part of empowerment through income generating activities. The main entrepreneurial activity supported by NGOs is farming, and this is where many female businesses are concentrated. While research in Africa shows that most female businesses are found in less paying activities in the SME sector, this research reveals that many female entrepreneurs in Malawi occupy some profitable enterprises. Despite this, most female enterprises are faced with some challenges that hinder their good performance. The study has the policy implications to improving performance of female enterprises. The study suggests that government should take a leading role in promoting female businesses. The relevant ministries should assist female entrepreneurs with affordable loans for procurement of technology. In addition, entrepreneurs should be trained to use modern marketing platforms, and assisted with establishment of potential market opportunities, locally and internationally.
DETERMINANTS OF QUALITY OF LIFE PERSON WITH DISABILITIES IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Alias Abd Aziz , Jani Rohana , Hanafi Hanira
Published: August 2023

To maximize the quality of life (QoL) among persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Malaysia, it is important to identify factors that are strongly associated with the QoL of PWDs. The aim of this study is to identify the determinants of QoL among PWDs in Malaysia. A cross-sectional study approach was applied covering 340 participants with hearing impairments, visual impairments, and physical disabilities. A multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the determinants of QoL. The seven QoL domains namely physical health, psychological, social relationships, environment, discrimination, autonomy, and inclusion were considered as dependent variables while demographic profile, socio-economic status, and disability history were considered independent variables. The contribution of independent variables to most of the QoL domains was modest. This study found that type of disabilities is a significant determinant for physical health, psychological, environment, discrimination, and inclusion domains. Meanwhile, the level of education is a significant determinant in the environment and autonomy domain. It was also found that age group is a significant determinant in the psychological domain. Meanwhile, employment status is a significant determinant in physical health domains. However, self-rated health is not significant in the discrimination domain. Both PWDs with good health conditions or PWDs with unhealthy conditions face the same experience of discrimination. These findings supplement the existing knowledge and contribute to future research, service planning initiatives, public education, and policy formulation. Furthermore, this study may aid social service stakeholders in evaluating the effectiveness of current activities and identifying trends for future planning.

Permasalahan tentang petempatan kampung air merupakan satu fenomena persekitaran yang kurang mendapat sambutan dan sokongan oleh kebanyakkan pihak berkuasa tempatan (PBT) yang menganggap sebagai satu parasit bagi sesuatu landskap bandar. Di samping itu, struktur dan organisasi perkampungan air yang tidak teratur telah menambahkan lagi tanggapan negatif malah menjadi bebanan kepada pihak PBT daripada aspek pengurusan dan pentadbiran. Ketidakaturan persekitaran kampung air telah mengundang pelbagai fenomena sampingan terutamanya isu kebersihan. Serakkan sisa pepejal di lingkungan alur di muara sungai telah menyumbang tahap kebersihan yang tercemar sangat signifikan. Dalam meneliti kelestarian kebersihan tersebut, isu utama yang perlu difokuskan ialah data lokasi yang menyumbang kepada fenofena tersebut. Oleh itu, pendekatan geospatial diaplikasikan dalam mengenalpasti data serakan sisa pejal yang telah menjadi masalah kepada pihak berkuasa tempatan dalam menangani masalah kebersihan di sekitar perkampungan air. Tiga objektif penelitian difokuskan iaitu, mengenalpasti guna tanah dan pola petempatan kampung air dalam bentuk susun atur, memetakan zon penampanan riparian serta memetakan lokasi kluster kampung air yang menjadi titik panas (hot spot) atau punca sampah memasuki alur sungai. Oleh itu, data geospatial daripada ketiga-tiga objektif yang difokuskan digunakan sebagai kaedah analisis untuk memetakan kelestarian kebersihan di kawasan perkampungan air di muara Sg. Darau. Sg. Inanam dan Sg. Buat di dalam sempadan bandaraya Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.
THE INTERSECTION OF ISLAM AND CONFUCIANISM IN KHALED HOSSEINI'S THE KITE RUNNER: A PHILOSOPHICAL ANALYSIS THROUGH THE LENS OF NEO-CONFUCIANISM
Authors: Ningjie Dong , Hussin Shohana
Published: August 2023

This study explores the intersection between Islam and Confucianism by analysing the protagonist Aamir's development and salvation in Khaled Hosseini's novel, The Kite Runner, through the lens of Neo-Confucianism. This interdisciplinary approach broadens the scope of this intersection from religion to literature. This study examines the shared ideals and objectives of both civilizations, namely that kindness is innate to the human race and that becoming good is humanity's ultimate objective. This study adopts Zhang Zai's philosophical approach as the theoretical foundation to analyse Aamir's path to atonement, focusing on the epistemological propositions of "sincerity" and "changing temperament." The discussion centres on the three fundamental steps of self-redemption, namely acknowledgement of sins, confession, and redemption, and how Aamir achieves self-redemption by "changing temperament" under the guidance of "sincerity." Through this analysis, it demonstrates that Zhang Zai's ideas can be used to comprehend Islamic literary works with a redemption theme and present a new dimension to the study of Zhang Zai's philosophy. This study provides a novel route for the intersection of Islam and Confucianism and highlights the potential for interdisciplinary analysis in exploring cultural intersections.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MAN AND NATURE IN IBN KHALDUN’S MUQADDIMAH
Authors: Ren Huichan , Abdullah Suhaila
Published: August 2023

Ibn Khaldun, one of the most prominent Muslim social scientists of the Middle Ages, is famed for his historical ideas and unique insights into the emergence and collapse of civilisations. This study aims to explore the relationship between man and nature in light of Ibn Khaldun’s greatest work, The Muqaddimah. A vast number of scholars have examined human civilisation from various perspectives as expounded in the Muqaddimah but works dedicated to the relationship between man and nature are still few. As a result, this article investigates Ibn Khaldun’s view of the relationship between man and nature through a qualitative content analysis of the Muqaddimah. Since Ibn Khaldun was a great Muslim thinker who had a deep effect on the Muslim world, his concept of the relationship between man and nature is readily accepted by Muslims and may play a constructive role in environmental conservation in the Muslim world. After reading and analysing the Muqaddimah, this article concluded that Ibn Khaldun’s examination of the link between man and nature can be found in every chapter. He thinks that the environment has a significant impact on individuals and human civilisation, as well as he advocates that man should respect nature and utilize it rationally to sustain civilisation’s healthy development.

This study was conducted to assess the impact of residential and urban activities on surface water quality in Ben Tre province in 2021. Water quality data were collected in the dry and rainy seasons at 15 locations for evaluating the parameters of temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), salinity, turbidity, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), ammonium (N-NH4+), nitrate (N-NO3−), orthophosphate (P-PO43−), iron (Fe), coliform using national technical regulation on surface water quality (QCVN 08-MT: 2015/BTNMT, A1) and surface water quality index (VN_WQI). Principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA) methods were used to evaluate sampling sites and identify key parameters and potential pollution sources. The results showed that TSS, BOD, COD, N-NH4+, P-PO43−, Fe and coliform are pollutants significantly affect surface water quality in residential and urban areas. Salinity, nutrients, heavy metals and microorganisms had high values in the dry season, while turbidity, suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, and organic matter were higher in the rainy season. Water quality was assessed from moderate to very good indicated by VN_WQI index. PCA results revealed that five key factors explaining 87.2% of the variation and 12 main parameters (temperature, salinity, turbidity, TSS, DO, BOD, COD, N-NH4+, N-NO3−, P-PO43−, Fe and coliform) affecting water quality. CA results showed that the current monitoring locations can be reduced from 15 locations to 12 locations, which could save 20% of monitoring costs. Future study should focus on investigating concrete sources of water pollution for appropriate management measures.

The development of information technology and the internet has introduced various forms of learning, including blended learning, which has become increasingly important for high schools which are looking to modernize their classrooms and overcome the constraints of time and space. While there have been numerous studies on blended learning in different subjects, most research has focused on using this approach to develop common competencies among students and improve learning outcomes. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of using a blended teaching method to develop self-directed learning competencies in Informatics by leveraging the digital environment. The proposed blended teaching process for teaching digital content in Informatics consists of three phases: before, during, and after class. In the first semester of the 2022–2023 academic year, an experimental group of 45 students at HoaiDucB High School in Hanoi were taught through a combination of classroom instruction and an online learning system, while the control group of 45 students were taught using traditional methods. The findings reveal that students taught with the blended method exhibited higher levels of self-directed learning competency and achieved better learning outcomes compared to the control group (with a p-value of <0.005). Additionally, a post-experiment survey revealed that students were satisfied with this innovative learning method and were more actively engaged in their studies.

Advancements in digital technologies have made the storage, sharing, and verification of educational credentials extremely important for entities such as students, universities, institutions, and companies. Digital credentials play an important role in students’ lives as a lifelong learning passport. The educational field is experiencing numerous issues such as academic record forgery, record misuse, credential data tampering, time-consuming verification procedures, and issues related to ownership and control. Modern-day technology, Blockchain, is an appropriate alternative to resolve these issues and increase trust among entities. In this research, we intend to propose a Blockchain-based educational digital credential issuance, and verification model that addresses these issues in the education system using Ethereum Blockchain and smart contracts. The method we propose offers a way to demonstrate the correctness of specific credential attributes without revealing other attributes, thereby leading to ownership, minimal disclosure, and control. We offer an interface for storing massively encrypted academic records in a decentralized file system like Interplanetary File System (IPFS). Furthermore, Ethereum provides tamper-resistant chains to maintain the integrity of digital credentials. Finally, in comparison with the time it requires to issue credentials, our model safely accelerates the verification process by about 8%.

In recent decades, the Innovation System (IS) approach has generated attention and has been adopted as an analytical framework for studying innovation processes; this has been reflected in the large increase and constant growth of its scientific literature. However, few studies have been oriented to analyze it, which is of interest to understand the development and current state of research on the subject; and even fewer are those oriented to study the interaction activity that occurs in the flow and diffusion of knowledge. In response, this work performs a bibliometric analysis and mapping to explore the interaction activities between the countries involved in the production of literature, considering 7,605 documents retrieved from the Scopus database. The results of this work may be useful for several reasons, among them, to establish the organizational structure of countries in IS literature and its evolution, as well as to identify some effects regarding interaction activity on research.

Over the years, skin substitutes have been sought as an alternative for the treatment of different pathologies. In this article, we focus on describing the use of different biodegradable nanofibrillar polymers as skin substitutes in the treatment of acute and chronic wounds, obtained by the electrospinning technique. Electrospinning is a tissue engineering technique used to generate nanofibers of different polymers that are characterized by having a high surface area, low molecular weight, high resistance rates, and nanoporosity, which is why they are particularly interesting for biomedicine, with potential applicability. in the replacement of skin and tubular organs. In this context, the skin created by tissue engineering has high expectations of application in the study of treatment of skin wounds.
