Perencanaan Remote Control dan Monitoring Apron Flood Light Selatan Berbasis Programmable Logic Control (PLC) di Bandar Udara I Gusti Ngurah Rai - Bali
Authors: Megansa Kevin Sari , Bunahri Rifqi Raza , Nugrahayani Tiara , Kona Musri
Published: October 2024

I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport has 8 ADP and 52 apron flood light poles equipped with LED lights. The travel distance from the Main Power House (MPH) to the flood light apron is ± 1,900 meter. Currently, flood lights operate automatically via a timer. All flood lights in the apron area will turn on at 18.00 WITA, then turn off at 06.00 WITA. Thus, the flood lights in the apron area or in the parking lot will remain on from 18.00 WITA to 06.00 WITA, even if there are no planes parked. The apron flood light at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport only uses a timer to control it and turn it off. The disadvantage of using a timer is that if the sun sets or rises earlier than the specified time, the apron flood light will not be able to turn on at that time. This research uses qualitative methods to obtain results. With this control and monitoring system, electricians and AMC can monitor lights via computer remotely without having to go to the field. 2. The existence of this control and supervision system can speed up the process of repairing and analyzing disturbances that occur as well as increasing the comfort of airport services for lighting aircraft when they are in Remain Over Night (RON) conditions at the parking stand.

The Theology of the Church of England: The Origins of Anglican Orthodoxy
Authors: Collister Clinton
Published: October 2024

Church historians and theologians debate the nature and boundaries of the theology of the Church of England. This contested theological identity leads some scholars to merge the liturgical, ecclesiological, and doctrinal distinctions between the reformed Ecclesia Anglicana and other Reformation churches. This article surveys the development of the theology of the Church of England from the reigns of Henry VIII to Charles II, arguing that members constructed a liturgical, ecclesial, and doctrinal consensus that constitutes Anglican Orthodoxy. This broadly Augustinian identity draws from the Evangelical and Reformed reformations while maintaining its own distinctive dogmatic boundaries.
Caregivers‘ mentalizing in child care: The impact of attachment and emotional distress
Authors: Mayer Daniela , Berkic Julia , Danay Erik , Becker-Stoll Fabienne
Published: October 2024

The present study aims at investigating conditions underlying positive interactions and relationships in the context of early child care. The study focuses on interindividual differences in caregivers‘ attachment and mentalizing capacities. In a sample of N = 66 early childhood teachers in Germany, attachment representations were assessed using the Adult Attachment Interview. In order to assess the teachers’ mentalizing capacities, based on the revised Parent Development Interview a semi-structured interview was developed, administered and coded using the Reflective Functioning Scale. To assess teachers‘ emotional distress the interviews were coded using the Assessment of Representational Risk. Teachers with secure attachment representations achieved the highest RF scores. Emotional distress had little impact on the mentalizing capacities of caregivers with secure and dismissing attachment. In contrast, the mentalizing capacities of caregivers with preoccupied attachment were impaired with increased emotional distress. The results indicate that attachment security influences how early childhood teachers perceive, appraise and interpret current relationships with the children. In particular, in teachers with preoccupied attachment emotional distress seems to have a moderating effect. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
Teacher-student-relationships from the teachers' perspective and child-level antecedents
Authors: Langer Janet , Bohnenkamp Ronja
Published: October 2024

The quality of the student-teacher-relationship undoubtedly has a significant influence on the child's development and learning processes. However, it is not independent of influencing factors on the part of the child. International studies have so far been able to identify a large number of factors influencing the quality of the teacher-student-relationship. Studies from German-speaking countries, on the other hand, have so far only been marginally represented. This cross-sectional study aims to investigate influencing factors of the child (attachment pattern, behavioral problems, gender and socioeconomic status) on the perception of relationship quality from the perspective of teachers with primary school children (N = 44). The results of the multivariate analysis of variance provide an indication that the relationship quality differs depending on the interaction of various child-related influencing factors. In particular, the socio-economic status in the present sample proved to be significant in interaction with the children's attachment pattern and gender. This has implications for a milieu- and gender-sensitive, attachment sensitive and responsive interaction with the children as the basis for a successful student-teacher-relationship.

Il se dégage que la perception occidentale de cette sous-région africaine est dictée par une relation verticale dominants-dominés. Ainsi, les Etats d’Afrique centrale présentent le profil des républiques évanouissantes, hémiplégiques dont les décideurs politiques et l’élite intellectuelle sont à la solde de l’ordre des africanophages développant un discours démagogique destiné à désinformer, à intoxiquer et à manipuler les masses populaires alors que la sous-région est exploitée, spoliée et vidée de toutes ses richesses naturelles.

Elles jouissent de la libre administration et de l’autonomie de gestion de leurs ressources humaines, économiques, financières et techniques ». Cependant, la commune, bien qu’entité territoriale décentralisée se voit être une subdivision administrative de la ville qui est aussi une entité territoriale décentralisée. Autrement dit, il y a superposition de la ville sur la commune, toutes deux entités territoriales décentralisées. En effet, au-dessus de l’échelle, il y a la ville et au bas de l’échelle, il y a la commune mais toutes les deux entités ont une autonomie légale. A cet effet, la préoccupation de cet article est de savoir si cette superposition ne crée pas des conflits de compétence entre ces deux entités territoriales décentralisées.

One of the biggest challenges confronting Nigeria since the restoration of democratic rule in 1999 is how to deliver a free, fair and transparent electoral contest acceptable to all and sundry. Closely related to this is how incidence of fake news otherwise referred to as misinformation continues to undermine electoral administration in Nigeria. With the purveyors of fake news deliberately undermining elections, it is yet to be seen how INEC can earn the trust and confidence of Nigerians on this important assignment. The objective of this paper is to examine how the incidence of fake news sabotages electoral administration in Nigeria and what needs to be done to improve the process. The paper adopts a thematic approach with heavy reliance on secondary sources to arrive at its conclusion. To achieve its objective, the paper is anchored on systems theory as a basis of analysis, interpretation and conclusion. The paper concludes that electoral administration was largely undermined by fake news hence, the need to deal with fake news and misinformation. It recommends the strengthening of state institutions and the deployment of formidable infrastructure by way of cyber security to combat fake news and misinformation in order to re-position electoral administration in Nigeria. Achieving this will greatly boost the confidence of the electorates and other critical stakeholders involved in electoral administration in Nigeria.

A pesquisa foi realizada entre julho e agosto de 2023, selecionando artigos em português e inglês que abordam diagnóstico precoce, intervenção e manejo clínico do TEA.  A revisão indicou que o diagnóstico precoce, geralmente entre 12 e 24 meses, é essencial para a eficácia das intervenções, melhorando habilidades de comunicação, interação social e comportamentos adaptativos. O atraso no diagnóstico, muitas vezes devido à falta de conhecimento de pais e profissionais de saúde, pode agravar os sintomas do TEA e comprometer o desenvolvimento da criança. A formação contínua de profissionais da saúde é necessária para o reconhecimento e manejo adequado dos sinais de TEA. O diagnóstico e a intervenção precoce são fundamentais para melhorar a qualidade de vida das crianças com TEA. A formação de equipes interprofissionais e a educação de famílias sobre os sinais iniciais do autismo são essenciais para facilitar um diagnóstico precoce e intervenções eficazes. Recomenda-se o fortalecimento de políticas de saúde pública para promover a detecção precoce e tratamento adequado do TEA.

With the strengthening of human-animal interaction and the scientific recognition of sentience, there has been a significant increase in the perception of atypical behaviors in companion animals, as observed by legal guardians and veterinarians. In general terms, such changes occur due to excessive humanization, stress, fear, or inappropriate environments, leading to variations in temperament, emotional dependency, and/or inhibition of species-specific natural behaviors. The class of psychotropic drugs offers pharmacological treatment for the mental state of these animals by modulating neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. The objective of this study was to evaluate the pharmacological impact of psychotropic drugs on the social development and emotional resilience of these animals, in conjunction with behavioral therapy. For this purpose, domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) diagnosed with compulsive disorders secondary to other behavioral dysfunctions were treated with trazodone hydrochloride (Group 1) and extracts from Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms (Group 2), and compared to conventional treatment with fluoxetine hydrochloride. The animals were diagnosed and evaluated using questionnaires aimed at diagnosing and monitoring the evolution of treatment, based on the literature referenced in this study. Atypical behaviors associated with primary and secondary disorders were mitigated or eliminated in Group 1 (n=4), Group 2 (n=4), and the conventional treatment group. However, fluoxetine hydrochloride showed a reduction in appetite as a side effect.

Introduction: Cataract surgery is the most commonly performed ophthalmologic procedure worldwide, and the disease is one of the main causes of reversible blindness worldwide. Objective: To analyze the ultrasound evaluation of gastric contents in patients undergoing cataract surgery. Methodology: Series report evaluating 24 patients in the perioperative period at the bedside using ultrasound to investigate the presence of gastric content that could indicate the risk of aspiration or other anesthetic complications. Results: Thus, 16 patients (66.6%) were female, and 8 (33.3%) were male. The mean age observed was 66.4 years (42-80). The average fasting time was 13 hours and 6 minutes, with the shortest fasting time at 7 hours and the longest at 24 hours. The mean residual gastric volume was 43.7 mL, with a minimum of 0 mL and a maximum of 138.9 mL. Conclusion: The substantial variance in gastric volumes assessed in the study underscores the need for further perioperative intervention studies focused on shortened fasting times and the use of fast-absorbing carbohydrates to confirm their added benefit to safety, documented as an empty stomach through bedside ultrasound.

Authors: Ferreira Moisés Corrêa , Ferreira Liliana Soares
Published: October 2024

O presente estudo tem o objetivo de analisar as políticas públicas educacionais sobre alfabetização, considerando o processo de inclusão (ou exclusão) de estudantes no ciclo de alfabetização. Inclusão como participação no processo e, não, como aspecto relacionado à educação inclusiva somente. Foram produzidos dados por meio da análise documental de políticas públicas educacionais acerca da alfabetização.  Constatou-se que os textos das políticas analisadas apresentam e evidenciam a importância da alfabetização, seja por meio do incentivo à leitura à formação de professores alfabetizadores. Todavia, demanda-se avançar, enfatizando e promovendo ainda mais as possibilidades do trabalho com estudantes que estão à margem do processo de alfabetização.

PEMERTAHANAN SUASANA KEJAWAAN DALAM NOVEL THE LAST CROWD KARYA OKKY MADASARI
Authors: Chrismalia Garnida Susie , Sudarwati Sudarwati
Published: October 2024

This article discusses how words from the Javanese language in Okky Madasari's novel Kerumunan Terakhir are preserved in the English translation of The Last Crowd by the same author. Translating from Javanese to English will certainly experience incompatibilities and strategies that can be used, but this does not happen because these words have their equivalents, and the novelist continues to use Javanese either directly, providing paraphrases, or include a translation in English. There are twelve data that use Javanese words, either at the word or sentence level. From the discussion of the overall data, it appears that the novelist tries to maintain the nuances of Javanese culture, especially Jogjakarta or more precisely, Puncak Suroloyo, Menoreh mountains, which of course is thick with the use of Javanese in their daily lives.
Caseworker Turnover: Why Do Child Welfare Caseworkers Want to Leave Their Jobs and What Makes Them Stay?
Authors:   , Marsh Bonnie
Published: October 2024

When the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania revised its child protective services law (CPSL) in 2014 in response to highly publicized child abuse incidents, the impact on public child welfare agencies was often negative. The child welfare system faced increased referrals without enough staff to handle the workload and numerous caseworkers began to leave their jobs. Caseworker turnover has a negative impact on children and families because excessive workloads dilutes the quality of services clients receive. Turnover may have lifelong implications for children in the child welfare system, such as delaying family reunifications, adoptions, or other permanency options. Changes in the CPSL increased the number of mandated reporters required to make referrals of suspected abuse, and expanded definitions for injuries defined as child abuse and perpetrators, which increased the number child abuse investigations. With a goal of identifying factors contributing to caseworker turnover, this study examined survey responses from a secondary data sample from 511 child welfare caseworkers in Pennsylvania. Findings indicated that caseworkers want to stay in their jobs because of feelings of personal accomplishment, positive co-worker support, positive client relationships, and positive supervisory support. Reasons to want to leave the job included low salaries, high workloads, and emotional demands. Implications from an ecological systems analysis of the child welfare system suggest that regulations requiring matching county funds may be contributing to wide differences in salaries, a primary reason for turnover. The study recommended that legislative changes are needed to address systemic barriers that influence low salaries and are leading to excessive workloads that increase caseworker turnover.
