Published: October 2022

Objectives. The study aimed to synthesize the multifunctional materials silver-added titanates via reduction of sol-gel fabricating titanates (Fe2TiO5 and NiTiO3) with Jasminium subtriplinerve Blume leaf extract.Methods. The physicochemical characteristics of the obtained materials were determined by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller specific surface area, scanning electron microscopy, and UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy.Results. The results demonstrated good dispersion of silver on the surface of Fe2TiO5 and NiTiO3 to create photocatalysts with two light-absorbing regions. The obtained materials were applied as antibacterial agents in polluted water. The Ag–Fe2TiO5 (Ag–FTO) samples showed better properties and antibacterial activity than Ag–NiTiO3 (Ag–NTO) due to the better dispersion of silver nanoparticles on the FTO surface. Besides, the antibacterial results exhibit increased inhibiting activity against gram-negative (−) bacteria as compared with gram-positive (+) bacteria.Conclusions. Nanomaterials Fe2TiO5 and NiTiO3 added Ag were successfully synthesized. These materials showed excellent inhibition against Baccilus cereus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, and Staphylococcus aureus. Additionally, the Ag–Fe2TiO5 samples showed much better antibacterial activity than the Ag–NiTiO3 sample.

Published: October 2022

Learning media as a tool to convey messages or information in the instructional communication process should be able to stimulate attention, interest and improve student memory. For this reason, designing and using learning media is important so that the delivery of learning messages can be achieved effectively. This study aims to find out the importance of the role of learning media in the instructional communication process in the field of tourism expertise in several vocational schools, vocational schools and universities in West Java. The research was conducted qualitatively with the aim of obtaining open and detailed data from informants who expressed their opinions about the learning media used by their teachers/lecturers. The key informants consisted of 24 students from six vocational schools and four universities in West Java, while data triangulation was carried out to 10 lecturers/teachers. The results of the analysis of the four aspects studied show: a. Students really feel the benefits and functions of learning media. b. The availability of learning media in three schools is complete and institutionalized, but in the other seven schools it still depends on the initiative of each teacher. c. Student/student responses to learning media greatly encourage the spirit of learning, it is easier to understand and remember learning materials. d. Barriers to the provision of learning media: limited educational background and experience of teachers/lecturers in the field of pedagogy, limited initiative and creativity of certain teachers/lecturers, not yet requiring teachers to provide media in every lesson, limited school facilities, such as internet networks and LCD projectors. This condition illustrates that this tourism vocational school has not fully designed its learning media properly, because there are differences in the availability of learning media between schools and between teachers, including differences in the level of attractiveness, diversity, suitability and creativity of lecturers/teachers in providing and using them. As a tourism vocational school whose graduates must be ready to work with work competencies that include knowledge, skills and professional work attitudes with a hospitality spirit formed in schools through the learning process. There are three schools that have achieved this well, while the other seven schools still need to improve the quality of learning. through appropriate learning media and based on the competencies and needs of the world of work. The results of this study are expected to be an important input for the implementation of West Java tourism vocational schools.

Authors: Sutarto
Published: October 2022

Preliminary. Stunting is a condition of chronic malnutrition accompanied by complications of the disease. The prevalence of stunting in children under five in Indonesia and the province of Lampung is still high and the highest is in rural areas. Stunting occurs from the initial nutritional status of the mother before pregnancy, during pregnancy and this condition is thought to be influenced by local habits in attitudes and behavior in the care of pregnant women with their babies. Cipadang village is one of the villages formed from immigration from Java to Sumatra, which makes this village inhabited by the majority of the population of Javanese ethnicity with their cultural style. Socio-cultural conditions in general affect the health of mothers during pregnancy and the pattern of child rearing when they are under 2 years old. The purpose of this study is to explain the state of local culture and health services on the incidence of stunting.

Method. This study uses a qualitative approach, to explore in depth the socio-cultural and health services related to the incidence of stunting. Sources of information came from informants, 17 people through focus group discussions.

Results and Discussion. The research location village is inhabited by the majority of the population of Javanese ethnicity with its cultural style, with an agricultural livelihood. The characteristics consist of 14 mothers of toddlers and 2 posyandu cadres in Cipadang village, 1 community leader with an age range of informants between 21 to 45 years with the most education level being Elementary School. The community pays special attention to the period of pregnancy, and there are habits in the care of babies, pregnant women and postpartum mothers with ancestral traditions. However, this habit has begun to shift to health care services. Knowledge of general informants is good but behavior is not in accordance with health standards.

Conclusion. Some cultures still have an influence, there are habits in caring for babies, pregnant women and postpartum mothers. Good knowledge has not been able to describe the desired behavior

Authors: Anton Sujarwo  , Atik Triratnawati
Published: October 2022

The pandemic caused by COVID-19 is still ongoing after nearly two years. The hope that the pandemic will be over soon is beginning to emerge. The successful development of a COVID-19 vaccine is one of the efforts to combat the pandemic. Vaccination programs that are available to the general public do not always run smoothly. The vaccination program was overshadowed by a number of issues and polemics. The purpose of this research is to see how the community reacts to the COVID-19 vaccination program. Data was collected using ethnographic research methods in Kalipare Village, Malang Regency, between October and November 2021. Random informants and interviews were conducted on members of the community and health professionals. The analysis was carried out by categorizing the data related to the community's fear, willingness, or doubt in participating in this program. According to the findings of this research, public rejection, fear, and doubt occur as a result of: a lack of public confidence in the vaccine's effects; a lack of trust in institutions; and the assumption that vaccines can cause illness and death. Typically, research on vaccine scepticism is followed by a refusal to participate in the program, but the findings of this research show the opposite. People continue to participate in the vaccination program despite their lack of faith, doubt, and fear.

Authors:   Ilia State University, Berikashvili Svetlana ,   Georg August Universität Göttingen
Published: October 2022

The article presents empirical data on the dependency of case assigning on the transitivity condition in Georgian. Based on the original corpus material obtained during fieldwork in 2019, and following the theoretical assumptions of a dependent case theory originally proposed by Marantz (1991) and further developed in Baker (2015) and Baker & Bobaljik (2017), among others, the article outlines the empirical results validating the hypothesis that the transitivity condition is decisive for assigning the ergative case in Georgian. Further, problematic issues, like assigning the ergative to intransitive unergative verbs, are analysed and some strategies used by native-speaking consultants involving valency increasing operations are discussed.
Curiosity among Students in Learning the Design and Technology Subject
Authors: Abang Ibrahim DayangSuryati , Mat Rashid Abdullah
Published: October 2022

Curiosity is needed in Learning Design and Technology (D&T), which is practically work-oriented for students to explore knowledge and develop current skills in designing products. Curiosity can generate creative, critical, and innovative thinking for students in getting ideas and solving problems during the learning process. However, studies have found that students are less curious, ask questions, and are interested in exploring during their lessons. Hence, a case study was conducted to identify students’ views on curiosity in learning D&T subjects based on teachers’ teaching methods. A total of 11 respondents, 14 years old from lower secondary schools in a district of Selangor, were interviewed. Interviews were done using five dimensions of curiosity through open questions. The researcher also implemented observation of teaching and learning (T&L). The findings showed that the T&L’s methods and activities used by teachers can influence the discernment of students as it encourages them to explore in gaining knowledge, experience, and skills in their learning. Finally, this study recommends that further research be conducted in implementing T&L activities that can enhance students’ curiosity in their learning.

Migrando valores: Diseño e ilustraciones de crónicas para reinsertar valores morales en la colectividad nikkei peruana
Authors: Tsuchiya Watanabe Ricardo Alberto , Albela Stuart Ruperto Pérez
Published: October 2022

El proceso de la inmigración japonesa al Perú dejó como herencia cultural valores morales que distinguen a la colectividad nikkei dentro de la comunidad general y que, con el sincretismo de la migración, existe la percepción de que se están perdiendo. La presente investigación determina que esta pérdida se basa en la forma y el medio como se difunde la herencia cultural, lo cual genera una falta de definición de identidad. Las festividades tradicionales japonesas se usan como punto común para difundir la cultura nikkei, pero son realizadas sólo con motivo de celebración, por lo que se pierde la oportunidad de difundir el legado cultural. Por ello se crea Migrando valores, proyecto que busca cambiar la forma en cómo se transmiten los valores (para reinsertarlos y promoverlos), relacionándolos con las festividades de la colectividad, aplicando un método para generar pregnancia en las nuevas generaciones nikkei peruanas. Para ello, se eligió la crónica ilustrada como producto principal (cuya característica es ser de fácil acceso, de rápida comprensión y llegada efectiva) que mantiene una relación entre la festividad y el valor propuesto. El uso de la narrativa gráfica la convierte en un medio moldeable, de rápido entendimiento y con impacto estético. Además, se le acompaña de recursos móviles, como el pop up y el paper toy, lo que genera interacción con el lector.

Authors: Amaluisa Rendón Alexandra Katherine , Amaluisa Rendón Paulina Magally
Published: October 2022

El objetivo de la investigación es reconocer la importancia de la comunicación visual en la prevención del COVID-19 mediante una revisión bibliográfica de la imagen visual como elemento clave para informar a la población sobre el COVID-19 y un análisis de las imágenes utilizadas en algunas de las campañas publicitarias de Sudamérica con un enfoque cualitativo. Los resultados muestran que las campañas publicitarias realizadas por cada uno de los Ministerios de Salud Pública a nivel Sudamérica tienen características comunes en relación con los mensajes positivos, cortos y claros que se transmiten, así como con el uso de imágenes figurativas simples, tipografía gruesa y cromática contrastante. Al pretender que los mensajes influyan en el comportamiento de las personas es importante el recurso de la imaginación empática, es decir, que el individuo o público al que va dirigido se conecte de una manera más cercana con el mensaje que se quiere expresar al reflejarse e identificarse en otra persona de características semejantes. El formato de video es un recurso muy importante a la hora de compartir este tipo de información. De hecho, la imagen visual impresa o digital constituye una herramienta de comunicación eficiente e idónea para transmitir todo tipo de información esencial, en especial en momentos de crisis, como es el caso de la pandemia desatada por el COVID-19.

Published: October 2022

El estudio se propuso analizar los cambios en la lectura operados por la mediación de las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (TIC) y las competencias más demandadas por el mercado de trabajo, relacionadas con los procesos de comprensión de la lectura. Debido a la pandemia por COVID-19 y al impulso del desarrollo tecnológico actual, la modalidad no presencial se asumió con carácter global y la clase virtual se posicionó como la alternativa predominante en la educación superior. De ahí que la tendencia educativa vaya hacia la digitalización y las carreras tecnológicas. En el presente artículo, se asumió una metodología mixta: por un lado, cualitativa, basada en el análisis de los artículos de investigación registrados en Scielo y en informes de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (Unesco), la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL) y otros, entre los años 2018 y 2021. Y, por otro lado, cuantitativa, a través de una encuesta realizada a 132 universitarios. Se concluye que la lectura mediante las TIC presenta mayor diversidad, amplitud de medios y complejidad por la intervención tecnológica, así como una postura globalizadora, aunque no sea incompatible con la realizada en el texto impreso, dado que se trata de experiencias diferentes. La comprensión de la lectura con las TIC tiene semejanza con la lectura en medios impresos en algunos estudios, ya que sus diferencias no son significativas, aunque el uso de las TIC sí propicien la motivación en los estudiantes.
pdf	02.Detectability of reptiles in standardised surveys: a test using grass snake Natrix helvetica models
Authors: Mikaella M.G. Lock
Published: October 2022

The ability to detect snakes in the field may be influenced by phenotypic and morphological variables attributable to the target species. These variables include body size, colouration, and body posture. To test what effect these variables had on detectability by surveyors, plasticine model grass snakes were distributed along a predetermined transect in reptile habitat. Detections of different types of snake models along the transect were compared between two groups of inexperienced students and those of a single experienced observer. The experienced surveyor detected 72 % of all the snake models, compared to 53 % and 58 % by the inexperienced groups. All groups detected more larger snakes than smaller snakes, and more uncoiled snakes than coiled snakes. The presence of a yellow/black collar did not influence the detection of the snakes. The results demonstrate the observer bias that may be inherent in surveys of snakes due to variation in size and posture of the target animals. Accounting for such biases in the design of reptile surveys and providing appropriate training and experience for volunteers may improve the validity and interpretation of data collected within citizen science programmes. Keywords: population assessment, imperfect detection, citizen science, survey protocol

Published: October 2022

Purpose. Determination of the potential efficiency of the alternative method of methane production from subaquatic gas hydrate deposits using the emissions of underwater mud volcanoes considering geological and thermodynamic conditions typical for the Black Sea. Methods. Computer modeling of the processes considering changing of the thermodynamic parameters of the supplying fluid within the pipeline and hydrate deposits was carried out on the basis of the Aspen Hysys program, using the Ng and Robinson model to calculate the energy potential of the fluid. Findings. An algorithm for calculating the distance to which a flow of the emissions mud volcano can be delivered with a temperature sufficient to remove sea bed hydrates from thermodynamic equilibrium and release methane has been developed. The schematic technological solution of an alternative method of methane production from gas hydrate deposits were presented by using the energy of emissions of mud volcano (fluid). The collection device for emissions of mud volcano and gas hydrate sea bed deposits were also been used within the model. The calculations have been done using Aspen Hysys computer program. Originality. The potential efficiency of the alternative method of methane production from gas hydrated sea bed deposits using thermal energy from emissions of underwater volcanoes is substantiated. It is also shown that in the case when the hydrate deposits cover the sea bed natural gas deposits as an impermeable layer, the thermal energy of the gas flow extracted from the sea bed natural gas deposits can be used for the decomposition of the hydrates This case is similar to the considered alternative method of using thermal energy of the emissions of mud volcanoes. Practical implications. The use of an alternative method of methane production from gas hydrate sea bed deposits by using emissions of mud volcano make it possible to increase the amount of gas obtained from subaquatic sources ~ by 7-10% without using additional sources of thermal energy. The practical application of this method will also prevent methane emissions from mud volcanoes into the atmosphere, which reduces pollution of seas and oceans with dissolved gases.

Authors: Bozhyk Denys , Sokur Mykola , Biletskyi Volodymyr
Published: October 2022

Purpose. Determining the rational operating parameters for granite crushing under impact in the field of centrifugal forces to obtain cubiform crushed stone. In order to achieve the purpose set, the task is to determine the operating parameters for obtaining the main grain-size classes: -50.0 + 20.0; -40.0 + 20.0; -20.0 + 10.0; -10.0 + 5.0 and 5.0 mm. Methods. The crushing process of granite crushed stone is studied in the conditions of the Kolomoievskyi Granite Quarry, Dnipropetrovsk region. Granite crushed stone with an initial grain-size of 100.0-0.0 mm and strength grade of M1400 is subjected to crushing. The accelerating rotor rotation frequency is the design value n = 200-1200 min-1. Fine crushing of granite is performed in a centrifugal-impact crusher by a free impact in the field of centrifugal forces. Findings. The optimal speed modes of centrifugal crusher operation, which provide the production of high-quality crushed stone with a maximum content of 90-95% cubiform fractions, have been substantiated. Originality. The yield dependences have been obtained of the grain-size classes: -50.0 + 20.0; -40.0 + 20.0; -20.0 + 10.0; -10.0 + 5.0 and 5.0 mm depending on the speed mode of the centrifugal crusher operation. Practical implications. The operating parameters for obtaining the main grain-size classes of cubiform crushed stone from granite have been determined: -50.0 + 20.0; -40.0 + 20.0; -20.0 + 10.0; -10.0 + 5.0 and 5.0 mm. In particular, it has been determined that for the production of cubiform crushed stone with -50.0 + 20.0 mm grain-size, the rotor rotation reasonable speed is 400-500 min-1 (the speed of material departure from the accelerating rotor is 45-50 m/sec); for cubiform crushed stone of -40.0 + 20.0 mm grain-size, the speed mode is 200 min-1 (25 m/sec); for cubiform crushed stone of -20.0 + 10.0 mm grain-size – 600-650 min-1 (70-80 m/sec), respectively. The maximum content of cubiform fractions in the -20.0 + 10.0 mm grain-size class is 95%, which is achieved at a rotor speed of 650-700 min-1 (departure speed is 75-80 m/sec). The maximum content of cubiform fractions in the -10.0 mm grain-size class is 94-95%, which is achieved at the accelerating rotor speed within 700-800 min-1 (departure speed is 70-80 m/sec). The obtained data make it possible to practically choose a rational speed mode of the centri-fugal-impact crusher operation to obtain the maximum yield of cubiform crushed stone.

Methods are to develop a self-organizing prediction algorithm based upon combination of the available techniques and formulation of new mathematical methods; consider various means to assess them in the context of iron-ore deposit; and select the most efficient one. Use of geostatistical methods makes it possible to evaluate and process output geological information. The methods help assess mineral reserves of a mining enterprise. Findings. Dependencies of magnetite ore content upon geological factors have been derived in the context of an open pit of PIVDGZK JSC. The deposit has been geometrized; predictive mining and geometric model of the deposit site has been deve-loped. Factors have been determined influencing the distribution nature of the indices. Graphs to arrange grade indices of the deposit have been constructed. The graphs have helped predict their placement within the deposit. Originality. A method to predict mining and geological indices of iron-ore deposit has been developed relaying upon a self-organizing algorithm. Correlation between grade indices of minerals and different geological factors has been determined making it possible to describe spatial distribution of grade indices of the deposit. Practical implications. Geometrization methods for iron-ore deposits have been formulated. The methods help schedule mining operations accurately while improving their efficiency. The developed predictive self-organizing algorithm is the flexible tool used for various mining and geological conditions to provide scheduling and assessing of different mining methods. The self-organizing as well as geostatic evaluation techniques is quite a promising research tendency.

Practical implications. On the basis of the developed method, a computer program was created for the automated determination of the crushing zones sizes of a blasted block. With the help of this program, zones of small, medium and large crushing of the blasted block can be quickly and fairly accurately determined under various parameters and conditions of blasting rock masses. Locations of the blasted block crushing zones thus established serve as a tool for choosing rational technologies of drilling, blasting, excavating and loading operations, which determines their practical value.
Approximation to general economic costs of mental illness
Authors: Frank Benedikt
Published: October 2022

This paper shows characteristics of mental illness and its economic impact, as well as various cost-estimating approaches and insights in missed economic opportunities. To assess the burden of economic diseases, there are three different ways: the human capital, the economic growth and the value of statistical life approach. The first focuses on indirect and direct costs. Direct costs are frequently associated with care and recovery, indirect costs apply to the "invisible costs" correlated with revenue loss due to death, injury, treatment and a fading productivity. The global financial costs of mental illness were evaluated at US$2.5 trillion, with a significantly bigger impact of indirect costs. Moreover, the effect of mental illness on economic development can only be approximated implicitly. Thus, the lack of production is primary estimated for somatic conditions compared to their corresponding quantity of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). According to some research, the total economic productivity drop associated with mental illnesses between 2011 and 2030 is estimated to be US$16.3 trillion globally. Furthermore, the value of statistical life (VSL) method suggests that trade-offs between risks and capital should be used to assess the probability of injury or death due to psychiatric illness. This computation, like the economic increase effect, is equivalent to that of cardiovascular disease and bigger than that of chronic respiratory disease, cancer, and diabetes. However, greater activism is required to better the existing condition. This involves a shift in thinking away from stigmatizing mentally ill people and supports the activation of financial resources.
Natural Resources Abundance and Macroeconomic Performance in Nigeria
Authors: Jato Terungwa Paul , Ayaga Joyce
Published: October 2022

Since the “Dutch disease”, more studies are establishing a negative relationship between natural resource abundance and a nation’s economic performance that have termed a ‘resource curse’. Nigeria being of such countries with abundant natural resources this study sought to examine the impact of natural resources abundance on the performance of selected macroeconomic development. Annual time series data from 1981-2021 about the variables were obtained from various sources like Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin, National Bureau of Statistics and World Bank data base were used for the analysis. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was adopted. The results obtained indicate that natural resource abundance (in terms of crude oil and natural gas revenue, mineral rent, oil rent and solid mineral revenue) have: 1) mix and unfavourable effect on balance of payments in both short and long run; 2) a positive effect on income per head in the short run and long run, but with the short-run effect different from that of the long run; and 3) only long-run positive effect on unemployment rate, with crude oil and natural gas revenue having a negative effect. Thus, natural resources considered have significant effect on gross domestic product per capital but do not have the desired effect on balance of payments and unemployment rate. This led to the conclusion that Nigeria’s abundant natural resource have only partial impart on macroeconomic performance. These findings will help to drive policy towards optimal natural resource utilization for enhanced macroeconomic performance as suggested.
Promoting Bioethical Literacy in Primary Education: The European Reality and the Case of Greece
Authors: BALATSOU MARIA , THEOLOGOU KOSTAS
Published: October 2022

The development of biotechnology during the last decades brings societies and policymakers a fresh view on how to communicate and manage the biotechnological knowledge and ethical aspects that arise, concurrently. During the era of biotechnological accomplishments and globalization, a new field of ethics arises, the field of Bioethics. It aims to balance between the dangers that emerge because of the implementation of biotechnological accomplishments on human life and their benefits. With the promotion of Bioethics education, everyone has to realize his personality, his mentality, his citizenship, and his connection to others. Many educational institutes worldwide embody bioethical courses for their students and an adequate number of curricula have been created for this purpose. Researchers and educators accord with the necessity of public ethical and bioethical literacy already from elementary school. At the same time in many seminars organized by the Committees on Bioethics, the appropriateness of teaching Bioethics primarily is presented and organizations worldwide support the introduction of Bioethics courses in the curricula. The majority of European countries have incorporated ethics and bioethics courses into their curricula for Primary Education. Greece amongst other countries is the exception to that rule. The goal of this dissertation is to convince the local education policymakers about the importance of Bioethics education so to include ethics and bioethics courses in the Greek educational system, in all grades and especially in elementary school, based on the necessity for the creation of educated future citizens for the country and the world.
Teachers’ Professional Knowledge and their Professional Identity If they Relate or not?
Authors: Ngan Duong Thi Ngoc , Hercz Maria , Thong Nguyen Van
Published: October 2022

There exist some evidence that research on knowledge of teachers has led to new insights and that studies on teachers’ professional identity is of increasing interest for research in the field of education. In reality, there has been no attempt documented in opening the black box of teachers’ professional identity and professional knowledge to see how they actually internally related. The current paper fills this gap and bases its reasoning of teachers’ professional knowledge presumably seen as the reflection of their professional identity on 3 central parts of teachers’ professional knowledge (conceptions, relations, conditions) and 3 aspect of their professional identity (subject matter experts, pedagogical experts and didactic experts). Significantly potential implication can be drawn for the identification of instructor’s trends of teaching through having a sufficient and comprehensive understanding about what they believe about them as the instructors. Also to be considered is its potential contribution to the advancement of educational studies regarding proposing the new pedagogical and didactical intervention and adapting the currently-employed measures for quality assurance to approach the teaching development.

Las conceptualizaciones y vigencia de la comunicación para el desarrollo vienen siendo parte de la agenda del debate académico debido, principalmente, al carácter polisémico de la comunicación, pero también por las múltiples lecturas que se realizan sobre ella. Algunos autores confunden a la comunicación para el desarrollo con la comunicación para el cambio de comportamiento y la definen desde una perspectiva reduccionista, y, otros concluyen que ésta ha sido superada por el paradigma de la comunicación para el cambio social. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo corroborar la vigencia del paradigma de la comunicación para el desarrollo, para lo cual se realizó un estudio retrospectivo basado en la revisión bibliográfica de los autores más emblemáticos en el tema, cuyo resultado permitió trazar tres rutas teóricas que, analizadas desde una perspectiva histórica y holística, demuestran que este paradigma sigue vigente, en tanto, representa la síntesis del camino recorrido por la comunicación horizontal, dialógica y liberadora encarnada por la generación de intelectuales latinoamericanos que por más de tres décadas reivindicaron el derecho a la comunicación y la aspiración por el cambio social.
