In the electric power system it does not always run normally. There are many disturbances or disturbance anomalies that can disrupt the operation of the system. One of them is at the Sekarputih main substation. last two years, the channel has experienced five short- circuit disruptions. As a result, electromagnetic distance relays must be replaced with digital distance relays equipped with reclosers. The reclosers will function when there is a relay disturbance on a trip and automatically reconnect. The disruptions may occur due to damage brought by unstable weather conditions. Indirectly, the value of relay settings will change and deviate from the PLN (state electricity company) standards. Therefore, relay re-setting was performed using two methods: the Fuzzy Mamdhani and the ANFIS methods. Using the Fuzzy Mamdhani method, the relay distance settings were as follows: Zone 1 = 0.523 Ω, Zone 2 = 0.54 Ω, and Zone 3 = 1.58 Ω. Meanwhile, the relay distance settings by the ANFIS method were: Zone 1 = 0.432 Ω, Zone 2 = 0.65 Ω, and Zone 3 = 1.22 Ω. The previous values of relay distance settings by PLN were Zone 1 = 0.587 Ω, Zone 2 = 1.046 Ω, and Zone 3 = 1.766 Ω.
Half-baked essays: the embedded use of writing exemplars to encourage active learning for radiography students
Authors: Elliott James
Published: March 2024

This paper discusses the implementation of exemplar essays within an undergraduate first-year diagnostic radiography module to encourage active learning and the development of academic literacies. Nine essays (~400 words each) were provided over six sessions, using lecturer-guided discussion to explore the academic virtues and pitfalls demonstrated alongside assessment criteria. Exemplars were based upon a fictitious baking profession to illicit student interest and eliminate the risk of imitation or plagiarism. The quality of essays varied, with overt examples of common mistakes in spelling, essay structure and selection of appropriate literature. Upon completion of the sessions, and prior to summative assessment, students were surveyed with regard to their opinion of the teaching intervention. Feedback was obtained from 65% of the cohort (n=31/48), who reported an improvement in essay writing confidence. Students found the marking of the essays in class useful and the baking analogy was well received. Not all students found the classroom activities engaging though, with some wishing greater interactivity due to boredom and repetition. Furthermore, there was a slight reduction in pass rates and average marks across the cohort when compared to the previous module delivery. Nevertheless, there was a substantial increase in students attaining marks of 80% or more. This study highlights exemplar essays as a low-tech, low-cost option to increase assessment literacy but accepts the wide diversity in student learning preferences and experience. The efficacy of exemplar essays cannot be guaranteed, and teaching staff must be cognisant of individual student learning needs.
Innovative multimodal Open Distance e-Learning (ODeL) supervision practices for master’s and doctoral candidates
Authors: Mphahlele Ramashego , Mbati Lydia
Published: March 2024

Open Distance e-Learning (ODeL) is on the rise to cater to non-traditional students. However, the surge in master's and doctoral students opting for ODeL raises concerns about the quality and timely completion of degrees. Existing literature on student attrition in higher education indicates that both student-related factors and institutional variables significantly impact completion rates. Factors such as students' sense of connection or isolation, as well as institutional aspects like supervisor responsiveness to feedback and feedforward, contribute to student persistence. To address this early attrition and extended stays in postgraduate studies, a community of practice (CoP), comprising lecturers and master’s and doctoral students was formed. The CoP employed the Social Learning Theory (SLT) approach to initiate collaborative partnerships designed to promote a research culture and explore alternative approaches to curb master’s and doctoral late completion and attrition. This paper reports on a study undertaken to explore the experiences, perceptions and insights of master’s and doctoral candidates regarding the implementation of innovative multimodal Open Distance e-Learning supervision practices. Grounded in SLT, the exploratory case study employed an open-ended questionnaire to gather data from the students participating in the support programme. The findings revealed the positive impact of innovative practices on candidates' academic development and overall research experience. The findings further demonstrated that virtual communication tools have significantly enhanced collaboration between candidates and supervisors, breaking down geographical barriers and facilitating real-time feedback and guidance. The innovative multimodal OdeL supervision practices gave master’s and doctoral candidates flexibility and increased their learning engagement.
Exploring the changing modes of learning and teaching in campus-based curricula during and post- Covid-19
Authors: Keane Aisling , McFerran Kathyrn , Acton Blaise , Taylor Samantha , McLaughlin Declan
Published: March 2024

The rise in technology-rich learning environments is reflective of a global trend in higher education (HE), recently accelerated because of necessary digital teaching and assessment practices embraced during the Covid-19 pandemic. This qualitative study facilitated through focus groups and an interview explores the teaching and learning experiences of tertiary level students in the Covid-19 era. 
Data from 24 students based within a UK Higher Education Institution highlights how an expanded digital environment can optimise conditions for some students to independently practise and apply what they are learning at their own pace. Digitally enhanced opportunities to interact with teaching staff and learning resources also increased the options for these students to experience themselves as competent members of the HE community. This was particularly relevant for first-year students new to the processes and practices of tertiary education. In contrast, third year students with more experience of HE appeared less reliant on the provision of online learning resources. Participants also identified some potential problems associated with the enhanced flexibility of online teaching and learning resources in relation to students’ ability to be self-regulated.
This paper rationalises the need for educators and educational and learning developers who teach and undertake scholarship in teaching and learning to consider the sociocultural context of the student and their learning environment when designing teaching activities and curricula. The data presented here highlight the need for a clearly defined framework to underpin the integration of digital technologies with on-campus activities.
Year in Industry: who gets access and what difference does it make? Access and awarding gaps in UK university undergraduate placement programmes
Authors: Traynor Kerry , Evans Kate , Barlow Chris , Gerrard Amy , Melgaard Stefan , Kehoe Steph , Churchill Selina
Published: March 2024

This article explores the extent to which students of different ethnicities, (dis)abilities, sexes, POLAR groups, and academic abilities undertake Year in Industry (YINI) placements and realise post-placement academic improvements, in comparison with non-YINI students. The benefits of work placements on student employability and graduate prospects are well-documented but less is known about which student groups gain access to placements. The study analyses secondary data relating to the sex, ethnicity, disability, POLAR group, grades, and degree classifications of 31,159 undergraduates graduating from a UK Russell Group university between 2016 and 2023, representing the largest study of its kind to date. The study found that students completing YINI programmes are significantly more likely to achieve first class (70.1% YINI, 28.5% non-YINI) and good degrees (97.7% YINI, 83.6% non-YINI). Importantly, the study found that YINI completion narrows awarding gaps found in the non-YINI population in relation to sex, disability, ethnicity, and POLAR group. The potential gains are greatest for male students, students with disabilities, Asian, Black and mixed ethnicity students, and students from low POLAR groups. However, access to placements is not proportionately distributed. Female students, students with disabilities, students from all ethnic minority groups and those of unknown ethnicity, and students from low POLAR groups are under-represented within the YINI population, suggesting placement access gaps in relation to sex, disability, ethnicity, and POLAR group. The paper concludes with strategies to encourage YINI participation amongst diverse student groups and calls for further research into lived experiences of YINI and non-YINI students.

Authors: Dato Rida Nadia Pavlin , Sabolak Floranita
Published: March 2024

Pendidikan bahasa Inggris merupakan pembelajaran yang wajib diselenggarakan di setiap sekolah pada setiap jenjang pendidikan karena bahasa Inggris saat ini menjadi bahasa pemersatu antar negara atau bahasa internasional. Tidak jauh berbeda dengan pendidikan bahasa Inggris, pendidikan agama Kristen juga merupakan pelajaran wajib yang harus diselenggarakan pada setiap jenjang pendidikan karena merupakan dasar dan asas iman Kristen yang menitikberatkan pada prinsip alkitabiah, budi pekerti, dll. Termasuk pendidikan bahasa Inggris dan Pendidikan agama Kristen sebagai mata pelajaran wajib pada tingkat sekolah dasar membawa dampak yang sangat buruk bagi anak, sehingga mengakibatkan anak desa tertinggal secara kognitif dan kalah bersaing dengan siswa yang mengenyam pendidikan di kota.  Di desa BATU TUKAN masih kurang atau terbengkalai mengenai Pendidikan agama Kristen dan Pelajaran Bahasa Inggris, oleh karena itu, penulis berinisiatif mengabdikan dirinya untuk memajukan anak-anak desa dengan mengadakan pelajaran bahasa Inggris yang terbuka untuk umum dan mengadakan Sekolah Minggu untuk anak-anak Kristiani. Metode pendekatan yang penulis gunakan ternyata cukup efektif, terbukti dengan semakin antusiasnya anak-anak mengikuti program yang ada. Meski banyak menuai pro dan kontra dari berbagai pihak, namun penulis bersyukur program yang penulis laksanakan membuahkan hasil yang memuaskan terbukti dengan anak-anak mulai memahami dasar-dasar pembelajaran yang penulis bagikan.

Authors: Paradeshi Tanush , Liljeholm Mimi
Published: March 2024

Stimulation of deep brain structures with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is the premier mode of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS). Currently, there is little support for the application of TMS in modulating deeper brain structures. This study validates the use of TMS for a set of 8 deep brain structures shown to alleviate symptoms of certain conditions when stimulated. 200 sets of T1-weighted and T2-weighted MRIs were processed using the SimNIBS headreco pipeline. Then, 200 TMS optimization simulations were run for each brain structure, which generated 200 3D coordinates for each structure representing the best TMS coil placement locations on the scalp for stimulation. This data was analyzed using K-means and agglomerative clustering methods to find the overall best coil placement locations. Overall, this study validates the use of TMS to stimulate these brain structures and finds the optimal parameters for stimulation.

Authors: Petrosyan Nelya
Published: March 2024

Learning and teaching vocabulary is an important part of foreign language learning. The meanings of new words are very frequently emphasized, whether in books or verbal communication. There are a lot of definitions of what vocabulary is. But vocabulary is not as simple as that. It does not only mean understanding the definition of single words or collocations but it also requires the knowledge of how words fit into context. Different ways of teaching language are used in various courses. Concerning that variety, there is a wide choice of teaching methods (concrete techniques) that can be used for various purposes. Some of them would work with beginners some with advanced students.

Authors: BELOZEROV NIKOLAY , DUGIN SERGEI , GIRENKO IRINA
Published: March 2024

Results of geochemical analysis for rare elements are present for coals of the Seam V-VI in the southeastern portion
of the Ogodzha deposit. The concentration coefficients demonstrate low contents of almost all rare and dispersed
elementsin the sampled section of the coalseam. The pair correlation and projection of variable values of the chemical
elements onto the factor plane allow one to distinguish at least two groups of elements: the first group, Nd, Pr, Ce, La,
Gd, Sm, Tb, Dy, Y, Ho, Er, Eu, Tm, Yb, Lu, and Pb, and the second group, Be, Rb, Mo, Cr, Ge, Co, Sc, V, Nb, U, Th, Cs, Sn, Li,
Hf, Ga, and Zr. The grouping of rare elements according to the geochemical correlations suggests the presence of two
separate metallogenic sources. The prospects for discovery of commercial-grade contents of rare elements in coals
of the Ogodzha deposit remain quite high.

Menalar Konstruksi Sejarah Pembentukan Madzhab Fiqh Islam dalam Upaya Menyelaraskan Moderasi Bermadzhab
Authors: Murdan Muhammad Nur
Published: March 2024

Abstract: The development of Islamic law (sharia) must be connected to the situation and conditions of the society it faces. This phenomenon has been evident since the prophetic era and continued to develop after the passing of Prophet Muhammad, where the application and establishment of several Islamic laws were formulated through the method of ijtihad (consensus and analogy). The results of ijtihad were then followed by ordinary Muslims, forming certain groups and factions who believed in the truthfulness of their mujtahid imams. At the grassroots level, these differences escalated into disputes and factional fanaticism, sometimes resulting in phenomena within the Muslim community. This article attempts to revisit the history of forming fiqh (Islamic law) schools to strengthen and align moderation in being affiliated with a specific school of thought amid the rigidity of the Muslim community, who blamed each other between schools of thought and another.
Abstrak: Perkembangan syariat Islam tidak lepas dari situasi dan kondisi masyarakat yang dihadapinya. Hal ini terlihat sejak era kenabian dan selanjutnya berkembang pada masa sepeninggal Nabi Muhammad saw., dimana penerapan dan penetapan beberapa hukum Islam dirumuskan dengan metode ijtihad (ijma’ dan qiyas). Hasil ijtihad tersebut selanjutnya diikuti oleh ummat Islam yang awam, membentuk kelompok dan golongan tertentu, yang saling meyakini kebenaran imam mujtahid mereka. Perbedaan-perbedaan itu, pada tatanan masyarakat bawah meruncing menjadi perselisihan dan fanatisme golongan, sehingga terkadang masyarakat dihadapkan pada fenomena dalam intern Islam. Tulisan ini mencoba mengulas kembali sejarah pembentukan madzhab fiqh (hukum Islam) dalam usaha menguatkan dan menyelaraskan moderasi dalam bermadzhab di tengah-tengah kejumudan ummat yang saling menyalahkan antara satu madzhab dengan madzhab yang lainnya.

Authors: Darmawan Wahyu , Radiansyah Radiansyah
Published: March 2024

Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyze the phenomenon of the relevance of the traditional customs of the Gayo Lues Tribe in the context of social change from the perspective of the younger generation. Within a sociological framework, these customs are interpreted as obligations that serve as a significant foundation in the decision-making process to resolve social issues. This research utilizes a qualitative method, with a literature review approach. The data collected through this process is then analyzed descriptively, analytically, historically, and comparatively. The findings reveal a gap in the younger generation's understanding of the traditional customs of the Gayo tribe in Aceh. Despite this, the younger generation plays a vital role in preserving cultural identity and the continuity of traditional customs and requires preventive assimilation. Furthermore, the renewal and adaptation of customs are necessary for the younger generation to maintain their relevance in a modern context. The research also explores contemporary challenges in the changes in values and norms experienced by the younger generation, which potentially threaten the relevance of traditional customs. The implications of the research involve establishing a dialogue to reach a consensus among the younger generation, the older generation, and traditional leaders.

Published: March 2024

Abstract: The objective of this study is to philosophically and comparatively examine the perspectives of Maurice Bucaille and Allama Tabatabai on the relationship between Science and the Qur'an. The research employs an interpretative paradigm and utilizes the literature review. The data were obtained from research findings published in books and journals. The search parameters consist of the keywords Science, Al-Qur'an, Philosophy, Maurice Bucaille's Thought, and Allama Tabatabai. The results demonstrated that science acquires its veracity by employing empirical methodologies and objectively evaluating information. In Islamic teachings, science is inherently integrated with its principles. Bucaille unveiled that the Qur'an promotes the exploration of natural phenomena and their constituents as a means for humans to discern evidence of the omniscience of God through the application of their cognitive faculties. The proper exploration of nature and subsequent development of science and technology will be achieved through the application of systematic and focused thinking. Tabatabai stated that the most precise method to understand the concepts and goals of the Qur'an, as well as its connection with science, is by interpreting it using the Qur'an itself and drawing from the biographies of religious leaders who have provided interpretations.

Hasil Penelitian menunjukkan Sains memperoleh kebenarannya melalui metode empiris, menilai informasi secara objektif. Dalam ajaran Islam, sains tidak dipisahkan dari prinsip-prinsipnya. Bucaille mengungkapkan ayat Al-Qur’an mendorong manusia mencari tanda-tanda kekuasaan Allah melalui perenungan atas fenomena alam beserta isinya dengan kekuatan akalnya. Dengan hasil pemikiran yang sistematis dan terarah, eksplorasi alam pun akan tercapai secara baik yang diikuti dengan perkembangan sains dan teknologi. Sementara Tabatabai menungkapkan tafsir Al-Qur'an dengan menggunakan Al-Qur'an sendiri, yang berasal dari biografi interpretatif para pemimpin agama, adalah cara yang paling akurat untuk mencapai konsep-konsep dan tujuan-tujuan Al-Qur'an termasuk hubungannya dengan ilmu pengetahuan.

Narcissistic Deficiencies and Coping Strategies in Drug Addicts in Prison: A Psychopathological Approach to Disability and the Problem of Reintegration into Drug Addiction.
Authors: Marino NGABE Jean , Bruno MAYI Marc
Published: March 2024

The need to conduct this study is based on the finding made during the pre-investigation of subjects incarcerated in the PCY. Indeed, we have observed that the subjects are in molasses feelings of strangeness, narcissistic depression and depersonalization, being under the influence of mental or symbolic failures resulting from a lack of narcissistic constitution of the self. And in the constant attempt to find solutions to this deep discomfort, their effort however is materialized by tendencies to anger, violence, aggressiveness and a continuous consumption of illicit drugs. At the end of the investigation itself and after having collected the subjects’ speeches through interviews, Rorschach and TAT, an analysis of the data using a psychodynamic approach allowed us to realize the confirmation of our general hypothesis. In other words, narcissistic failures in subjects determine their coping and psychosocial adjustment constituting mentalization and symbolization failures as well as a constant use of drug to obtain pleasure.

Authors: Kankara Ibrahim Sani , Abdullahi Fatima
Published: March 2024

This paper account for the history of arm conflict between the herdsmen and farmers in southern Katsina Emirate. The kidnapping of Chibok Girls in 2014 was an eye opener to the bandits associated with the kidnapping of school children across the states of Katsina, Zamfara, Kaduna, Kebbi and Niger. Scholars generally associate the present stage of conflict between the farmers and fulani herdsmen as the root caused of the present spede of kidnapping and cattle rustling that affects the the north-western states of Katsina, Zamfara and Sokoto states. The paper argues that the banditry in Katsina state especially Kankara areas in particular pre-date the present state of kidnapping in the area. Kidnapping of 344 children of Government Science Secondary School Kankara on the 11th December 2020, marked a landmark in the history of arm conflict affecting the area and other communities bordering the forest of Katsina and Zamfara States. This paper argues that the Boko Haram (BH) insurgency, environmental and other social parameters greatly contribute to the spate of kidnapping in the area.

Block scheduling is a way of designing class schedules where fewer courses are offered for a shorter number of meetings yet increasing the number of class hours per day, thus still covers the required number of hours for a course. This study was conducted to determine the perception of professional course teachers and general education course teachers toward block scheduling. It employed comparative descriptive design considering 76 teachers at a tertiary school in Tangub City. These teachers were chosen using convenience sampling technique. A researcher-made survey questionnaire with seventeen (17) statements was used to gather the teachers’ perception on the advantages and disadvantages of using block scheduling. The results revealed that the tertiary education teachers agree on all the statements describing the advantages of Block Scheduling. Professional course teachers agreed on the disadvantages of block scheduling. However, general education course teachers disagreed on most of the disadvantages of block scheduling. The advantages of Block scheduling are more favored by the general education course teachers than the Professional course teachers while the latter agree more on the disadvantages of block scheduling than the former. It was recommended that the institution can continue implementing block scheduling specially for online classes.

How Does the New-Type Urbanization Policy Affect Urban Low-Carbon Development?
Authors: Xu Huijie
Published: March 2024

The profound transformations brought about by the rapid advancement of urbanization have had a significant impact on low-carbon cities. In this study, we utilize the "New-type Urbanization Policy" (NTUP) as a quasi-natural experiment to examine the influence of NTUP on carbon emissions using the difference-in-differences (DID). Our findings indicate that NTUP effectively reduces carbon emissions and enhances emission efficiency, with consistent results even after conducting rigorous tests and addressing endogeneity concerns. Furthermore, our analysis reveals that resource-based cities, eastern cities and small- and medium-sized cities benefit more from NTUP in terms of reducing carbon emissions and improving efficiency. The mediating effect demonstrates that NTUP's impact on carbon emissions primarily operates through three mechanisms: promoting industrial structure upgrading, reducing energy use and promoting green technology innovation. This research offers valuable insights for achieving urban low-carbon sustainable development through new-type urbanization initiatives.
Semantic Technologies in Knowledge Management
Authors: Jones Charlie
Published: March 2024

Purpose: The general objective of this study was to explore semantic technologies in knowledge management.

Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.

Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to semantic technologies in knowledge management. Preliminary empirical review revealed that these technologies hold significant potential for enhancing knowledge organization, retrieval, and utilization within organizations. While theoretical benefits were recognized, practical implementation faced challenges such as technical constraints, organizational resistance, and the need for alignment with organizational objectives. Despite these hurdles, the study emphasized the importance of overcoming barriers through comprehensive approaches involving technological solutions, organizational change management, and stakeholder engagement. Overall, the study highlighted the transformative potential of semantic technologies in knowledge management but underscored the necessity of addressing challenges to realize their full benefits.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Social Construction of Technology (SCOT) theory, Actor-Network Theory (ANT) and Resource-Based View (RBV) theory may be used to anchor future studies on semantic technologies. The study made several recommendations to enhance the adoption and utilization of semantic technologies. It suggested developing standardized ontologies, prioritizing user-centric design principles, and providing ongoing training to improve digital literacy among practitioners. Additionally, the study emphasized the importance of governance mechanisms for ensuring data quality, fostering collaborative networks for knowledge sharing, and embracing a culture of experimentation and adaptation. These recommendations aimed to address challenges such as interoperability, usability, and trustworthiness, ultimately enabling organizations to leverage semantic technologies more effectively in their knowledge management practices.
