Authors: CESUR DURMAZ Büşra , ÜÇGÜL İbrahim
Published: May 2023

Energy is an increasing necessity due to the change in needs and the development of the industry with the rapid growth of the world's population. Today, the energy supply usually meet from non-renewable (fossil-based) sources. This situation causes adverse effects globally and a decrease in the fossil resources that future generations need. Sustainable, efficient, and clean energy will only be possible using renewable resources. Installation of renewable energy systems requires large areas, but suitable terrestrial for onshore are not always available. Therefore, in our country, it is necessary to increase floating renewable energy power plants. In the study, the offshore installation potential of solar, wind, and wave renewable energy required for sustainable energy production in Türkiye was examined. A qualitative evaluation was conducted for solar, wind, and wave energy generation. It has been concluded that coastal areas and stagnant water surfaces of Türkiye are suitable for the installation of floating energy systems. This study aims to emphasize the necessity of floating renewable energy systems for Türkiye. It also provides essential contributions to the studies to be carried out on floating energy systems in Türkiye.

Published: May 2023

Analysing the morphometric parameters is the most expedient and parsimonious way of representing the hydrologic and physiographic attributes of river basins. The present study attempts to measure the morphometric parameters for assessing the understanding of morphological, hydrological, and physiographic properties of the south-western part of the Ganges delta. Parameters were analysed from Shuttle Radar Topography Mission's (SRTM) maps and total of eight linear, six areal, eight relief, and five drainage texture parameters have taken with hypsometric analysis for the four major rivers and two tributary river basins. The values of linear parameter denote that most of the streams (82%) fall in first order, and other orders have homogeneous underline materials. The aerial parameters represent low peak discharge and the upper region is less vulnerable to flood. The relief parameter values show that the entire basin has low surface runoff and they are less erosional (slope < 3.97°). The drainage density indicates the coarser nature and circularity ratio (0.08) represents the elongated shape. The southern portion of the basin has a greater flood potential and hypsometric index (0.49) shows the entire basin is in mature stage of formation. These results would be helpful for reckoning the watersheds for drainage management and environmental planning for ecological management and sustainable development.
The relational factors in managing rural water supply in Punjab, Pakistan
Authors: Waheed Seemi , Azhar Aisha , Sial Maqbool Hussain , Faran Muhammad
Published: May 2023

The Punjab Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) and community-based organizations (CBOs) collaboratively manage the rural water supply (RWS) system in Punjab, Pakistan since the mid-nineties. In a command-and-control administration, a collaborative approach to managing RWS is atypical. The study addresses this gap by analyzing the relational behavior as a monitoring and enforcement mechanism to ensure community compliance with government-produced institutions for managing RWS. Four focus group interviews were conducted with the CBO members and the survey of households from the same villages. Using the partial-least square structural equation model (PLS-SEM), the mediating influence of frequent communication, commitment of users, and shared meaning on community compliance with institutions was analyzed. The integrated results from the two methods imply that trained CBOs better self-organize, as they communicate frequently with the community members. It is recommended that for the sustainability of the RWS system, regular government support for CBOs underscores the success of collaborative collective action, though trained CBOs better manage RWS in weak monitoring by the government.

Published: May 2023

This research investigates the fair and efficient distribution of water among irrigators, focusing on the timely and uniform delivery of water. To achieve this, the study utilized various methods such as group discussions, critical informant and expert interviews, and field flow measurements. The degree of fairness in the distribution of irrigation water was determined by analyzing the shift in the relative water supply to end users. The effectiveness of irrigation is inversely proportional to the relative irrigation supply, which can be observed in the scheme's water delivery indicators. The study found that while the estimated delivered flow of water in the head, middle, and tail reaches of the canal was 1.21, 0.58, and 0.23 m3/s respectively, the required quantity of discharge was only 0.81, 0.31, and 0.15 m3/s. This discrepancy resulted in the inadequate, unreliable, and unequal water supply to irrigators. The research revealed that canal operation and maintenance were the main factors limiting the system's capacity. The findings showed that the adequacy, dependability, equality, and efficiency values were 0.8, 0.14, 0.40, and 0.71, respectively, suggesting that improvements are needed to ensure the timely and equitable distribution of water to irrigators.
Research Progress in Estrogen-related Receptor Gamma (ERRγ)
Agonists and Inverse Agonists
Authors: Zheng Yong , Du Yongli , Zhang Haibin , Lv Huiting , Yan Zhijia , Dong Ning , Li Qunyi , Wang Tianxiao
Published: May 2023

Estrogen-related receptor gamma (ERRγ), one of three members of the ERR
family, is an inducible transcription factor. ERRγ has dual functions in different tissues.
The decreased expression of ERRγ in the brain, stomach, prostate, and fat cells can cause
neuropsychological dysfunction, gastric cancer, prostate cancer, and obesity. However,
when ERRγ is present in the liver, pancreas, and thyroid follicular cells, ERRγ overexpression
is related to liver cancer, type II diabetes, oxidative liver injury, and anaplastic
thyroid carcinoma. Signaling pathway studies have confirmed that ERRγ agonists or inverse
agonists can regulate ERRγ expression to treat related diseases. The collision between
residue Phe435 and the modulator is a key factor determining the activation or inhibition
of ERRγ. Although more than 20 agonists and inverse agonists of ERRγ have been
reported, no clinical studies have been found in the literature. This review summarizes
the important relationship between ERRγ-related signaling pathways and diseases, research
progress, and the structure-activity relationship of modulators. These findings provide
guidance for further study on new ERRγ modulators.

Published: May 2023

Melanoma accounts for the minority of skin cancer cases. However, it has the
highest mortality rate among the subtypes of skin cancer. At the early stages of the disease,
patients show a good prognosis after the surgery, but developing metastases leads
to a remarkable drop in patients’ 5-year survival rate. Despite the advances made in the
therapeutic approaches to this disease, melanoma treatment is still facing several obstacles.
Systemic toxicity, water insolubility, instability, lack of proper biodistribution, inadequate
cellular penetration, and rapid clearance are some of the challenges that should be
addressed in the field of melanoma treatment. While various delivery systems have been
developed to circumvent these challenges, chitosan-based delivery platforms have indicated
significant success. Chitosan that is produced by the deacetylation of chitin can be formulated
into different materials (e.g., nanoparticle, film, and hydrogel) due to its characteristics.
Both in vitro and in vivo studies have reported that chitosan-based materials can
be used in drug delivery systems while offering a solution for the common problems in
this area, such as enhancing biodistribution and skin penetration as well as the sustained
release of the drugs. Herein, we reviewed the studies concerning the role of chitosan as a
drug delivery system in melanoma and discussed how these drug systems are used for delivering
chemotherapeutic drugs (e.g., doxorubicin and paclitaxel), genes (e.g., TRAIL),
and RNAs (e.g., miRNA199a and STAT3 siRNA) successfully. Furthermore, we take a
look into the role of chitosan-based nanoparticles in neutron capture therapy.

Published: May 2023

Natural remedies from a range of sources, including plants, animals,
microorganisms, and marine life, have made a significant contribution to the treatment of
many ailments. Lavender is a Mediterranean shrub from the Lamiaceae family. Lavender
flowers (Lavandula flores) include active ingredients (3%), anthocyanins, sugars,
phytosterols, minerals, and tannins and are majorly used for herbal applications.
Lavender essential oil's descriptive and analytical composition varies depending on
genotype, growing region, climatic circumstances, propagation, and morphological
characteristics. There are around 300 chemical components in essential oil. Linalool,
terpinen-4-ol, linalyl acetate, ocimene, acetate lavandulol, and cineole are the most
prominent constituents. Lavender oil has antibacterial and antioxidant properties. The
lavender extract helps to prevent dementia and may slow cancer cell growth, while
lavender oil is used to treat skin problems. This review will cover the recent medical,
economic and regional advancements in levander propagation and how the Council of
Scientific & Industrial Research Indian Institute of Integrative (CSIR IIIM) aroma mission
is actively acting as a bridge between farmers and their economic improvement by
attracting them to the field of medicinal plant cultivation.
Synthesis and Biological Properties of D-Amino Acids
Authors: Sharma Shikha , Sahoo Biswa Mohan , Banik Bimal Krishna
Published: May 2023

In the past few years, scientists have learned more about how the human body uses D-amino acids and how their synthesis occurs. This has rekindled interest in researching them. D-amino acids are known to be important in an extensive variety of physiologic operations taking place inside the human body. The correlation between these radicals and the physiology of human beings is that D-aspartate and D-serine affect nerve signalling. Along with these, several other D-amino acids have also been linked to adjusting acquired immunity and the outcome of the gut barrier. Importantly, several conditions, including psychosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, as well as age-related conditions, including cataracts and atherosclerosis, have been linked to the existence of D-amino acids within the human body. Also, there is more and more evidence that radicals interpret a role in the cause, progression, and treatment of cancer. This article will review the many approaches to synthesizing D-amino acids and their impact on the environment, animals, and the human body. In addition, scientific information addressing the methods of cytostatic action of D-amino acids as well as their prospective applications in industry and medicine, is included in this article.
Therapeutic Viewpoint on Rat Models of Locomotion Abnormalities and
Neurobiological Indicators in Parkinson's Disease
Authors: Chaudhary Rishabh , Singh Randhir
Published: May 2023

Background:

Locomotion problems in Parkinson's syndrome are still a research and treatment
difficulty. With the recent introduction of brain stimulation or neuromodulation equipment that is
sufficient to monitor activity in the brain using electrodes placed on the scalp, new locomotion investigations
in patients having the capacity to move freely have sprung up.

Objective:

This study aimed to find rat models and locomotion-connected neuronal indicators and use
them all over a closed-loop system to enhance the future and present treatment options available for
Parkinson’s disease.

Methods:

Various publications on locomotor abnormalities, Parkinson's disease, animal models, and
other topics have been searched using several search engines, such as Google Scholar, Web of Science,
Research Gate, and PubMed.

Results:

Based on the literature, we can conclude that animal models are used for further investigating
the locomotion connectivity deficiencies of many biological measuring devices and attempting to address
unanswered concerns from clinical and non-clinical research. However, translational validity is required
for rat models to contribute to the improvement of upcoming neurostimulation-based medicines. This review
discusses the most successful methods for modelling Parkinson’s locomotion in rats.

Conclusion:

This review article has examined how scientific clinical experiments lead to localised
central nervous system injuries in rats, as well as how the associated motor deficits and connection oscillations
reflect this. This evolutionary process of therapeutic interventions may help to improve locomotion-
based treatment and management of Parkinson's syndrome in the upcoming years.

Authors: Ilioudi Maria , Lindner Philip , Ali Lilas , Wallström Sara , Thunström Almira Osmanovic , Ioannou Michael , Anving Nicole , Johansson Viktor , Hamilton William , Falk Örjan , Steingrimsson Steinn
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND

Interest in sensory rooms or so-called “calm rooms” in psychiatric inpatient care has increased significantly. In a hospital setting, their purpose is to introduce a relaxing environment to increase well-being as well as to decrease anxiety and aggressive behaviors. Calm rooms can also be used as a tool to provide self-help through a convenient environment for the patients and, at the same time, strengthen the therapeutic relationship between the patient and the professional. Recent developments in virtual reality (VR) have made virtual calm rooms possible, but these have not yet been evaluated in psychiatric inpatient care.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to compare the effects of VR and physical calm rooms on self-reported well-being and physiological markers of arousal.

METHODS

The study was conducted in 2 inpatient psychiatric wards specializing in bipolar disorder from March 2019 to February 2021. Patients who were already admitted were asked if they were interested in using a calm room and willing to provide ratings. This study relied on the quasi-randomized allocation of patients to the wards, which either had a physical or VR calm room. Self-assessment scales (Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale-Self Assessment [MADRS-S], Beck Anxiety Scale, and Clinical Global Impression) were used to determine the participants' baseline level of depressive and anxiety symptoms before their use of the physical or VR calm room. The study determined the state of well-being measured using an 11-point visual analog scale (VAS) as well as arousal measured by blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and heart rate before and after the use of the calm rooms. The primary end point was self-reported well-being using the VAS.

RESULTS

A total of 60 participants were included—40 used the VR calm room and 20 used the physical calm room. The mean age of participants was 39 years and the majority were women (35/60, 58%). Analysis of VAS measurement showed improved well-being at the group level from before to after the intervention (P<.05), with no statistically significant difference in effects between the 2 different interventions. Effects were not moderated by baseline depression levels (dichotomized as MADRS-S >20 or ≤20) despite an overall difference in reported well-being between subgroups.

CONCLUSIONS

Although the power in this study was low, the findings of this first study indicate comparable effects with respect to well-being and arousal of a VR calm room and a physical calm room. This suggests that a VR calm room can be a viable alternative when the use of a physical calm room is not an option for logistic or other reasons.

Scoring Single-Response Multiple-Choice Items: Scoping Review and Comparison of Different Scoring Methods (Preprint)
Authors: Kanzow Amelie Friederike , Schmidt Dennis , Kanzow Philipp
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND

Single-choice items (eg, best-answer items, alternate-choice items, single true-false items) are 1 type of multiple-choice items and have been used in examinations for over 100 years. At the end of every examination, the examinees’ responses have to be analyzed and scored to derive information about examinees’ true knowledge.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this paper is to compile scoring methods for individual single-choice items described in the literature. Furthermore, the metric expected chance score and the relation between examinees’ true knowledge and expected scoring results (averaged percentage score) are analyzed. Besides, implications for potential pass marks to be used in examinations to test examinees for a predefined level of true knowledge are derived.

METHODS

Scoring methods for individual single-choice items were extracted from various databases (ERIC, PsycInfo, Embase via Ovid, MEDLINE via PubMed) in September 2020. Eligible sources reported on scoring methods for individual single-choice items in written examinations including but not limited to medical education. Separately for items with n=2 answer options (eg, alternate-choice items, single true-false items) and best-answer items with n=5 answer options (eg, Type A items) and for each identified scoring method, the metric expected chance score and the expected scoring results as a function of examinees’ true knowledge using fictitious examinations with 100 single-choice items were calculated.

RESULTS

A total of 21 different scoring methods were identified from the 258 included sources, with varying consideration of correctly marked, omitted, and incorrectly marked items. Resulting credit varied between –3 and +1 credit points per item. For items with n=2 answer options, expected chance scores from random guessing ranged between –1 and +0.75 credit points. For items with n=5 answer options, expected chance scores ranged between –2.2 and +0.84 credit points. All scoring methods showed a linear relation between examinees’ true knowledge and the expected scoring results. Depending on the scoring method used, examination results differed considerably: Expected scoring results from examinees with 50% true knowledge ranged between 0.0% (95% CI 0% to 0%) and 87.5% (95% CI 81.0% to 94.0%) for items with n=2 and between –60.0% (95% CI –60% to –60%) and 92.0% (95% CI 86.7% to 97.3%) for items with n=5.

CONCLUSIONS

In examinations with single-choice items, the scoring result is not always equivalent to examinees’ true knowledge. When interpreting examination scores and setting pass marks, the number of answer options per item must usually be taken into account in addition to the scoring method used.
Acceptability and Potential Impact of the #chatsafe Suicide Postvention Response Among Young People Who Have Been Exposed to Suicide: Pilot Study (Preprint)
Authors: La Sala Louise , Pirkis Jane , Cooper Charlie , Hill Nicole T M , Lamblin Michelle , Rajaram Gowri , Rice Simon , Teh Zoe , Thorn Pinar , Zahan Rifat , Robinson Jo
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND

Young people are more likely to be affected by suicide contagion, and there are concerns about the role social media plays in the development and maintenance of suicide clusters or in facilitating imitative suicidal behavior. However, social media also presents an opportunity to provide real-time and age-appropriate suicide prevention information, which could be an important component of suicide postvention activities.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to test an intervention designed to equip young people to communicate safely online about suicide (#chatsafe) with a sample of young people who had recently been exposed to a suicide or suicide attempt, with a view to determining the role social media can play as part of a postvention response.

METHODS

A sample of 266 young people from Australia, aged 16 to 25 years, were recruited to participate in the study. They were eligible if they had been exposed to a suicide or knew of a suicide attempt in the past 2 years. All participants received the #chatsafe intervention, which comprised 6 pieces of social media content that were sent to them weekly via direct message through Instagram, Facebook, or Snapchat. Participants were assessed on a range of outcome measures (social media use, willingness to intervene against suicide, internet self-efficacy, confidence, and safety when communicating about suicide on social media platforms) at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and at 4-week follow-up.

RESULTS

After the 6-week #chatsafe intervention, participants reported substantial improvements in their willingness to intervene against suicide online, their internet self-efficacy, and their perceived confidence and safety when communicating about suicide online. Overall, the participants reported that it was appropriate to receive the #chatsafe intervention via social media, and no iatrogenic effects were recorded.

CONCLUSIONS

The findings suggest that it is safe and acceptable to disseminate suicide prevention information entirely via social media among young people who have recently been exposed to a suicide or suicide attempt. Interventions such as #chatsafe could potentially mitigate the risk of distress and future suicidal behavior in young people by improving the quality and safety of online communication about suicide and, as such, can be an important component of delivering a postvention response to young people.
Legitimacy as Social Infrastructure: a Critical Interpretive Synthesis (Preprint)
Authors: Howe Sydney Evelyn , Uyl-de Groot Carin , Wehrens Rik
Published: May 2023

UNSTRUCTURED

As technology is integrated into healthcare delivery, questions related to the adoption and acceptance of these new technologies become increasingly urgent. Current models of technology adoption/acceptance of health technologies leave large gaps in practice and provide limited explanation of how and why certain technologies are adopted and others are not. In these discussions, the concept of legitimacy is omnipresent but often implicit and underdeveloped. There is no cohesive agreement about what legitimacy is or how it works across social science disciplines, despite a prolific volume of literature centering legitimacy. Through a Critical Interpretive Synthesis literature review using the disciplinary constructs of Organization & Management Studies, Science & Technology Studies, and Medical Anthropology & Sociology, we explore the meaning of legitimacy in health and technology, how it is produced, and how it is used. We synthesize these bodies of literature to produce a novel conceptualization of legitimacy as a form of social infrastructure. Legitimacy as social infrastructure allows us to bring relational, material, semiotic, and network-based aspects of legitimacy into focus, conceptualizing legitimacy as an assemblage. Social infrastructure is a flexible and adaptable framework for working with legitimacy that can aid both academics and decision-makers by providing more coherent and holistic explanations for how and why embedding new technologies in healthcare practice does or does not happen.
Performance of ChatGPT on the Situational Judgement Test—A Professional Dilemmas–Based Examination for Doctors in the United Kingdom (Preprint)
Authors: Borchert Robin J , Hickman Charlotte R , Pepys Jack , Sadler Timothy J
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND

ChatGPT is a large language model that has performed well on professional examinations in the fields of medicine, law, and business. However, it is unclear how ChatGPT would perform on an examination assessing professionalism and situational judgement for doctors.

OBJECTIVE

We evaluated the performance of ChatGPT on the Situational Judgement Test (SJT): a national examination taken by all final-year medical students in the United Kingdom. This examination is designed to assess attributes such as communication, teamwork, patient safety, prioritization skills, professionalism, and ethics.

METHODS

All questions from the UK Foundation Programme Office’s (UKFPO’s) 2023 SJT practice examination were inputted into ChatGPT. For each question, ChatGPT’s answers and rationales were recorded and assessed on the basis of the official UK Foundation Programme Office scoring template. Questions were categorized into domains of Good Medical Practice on the basis of the domains referenced in the rationales provided in the scoring sheet. Questions without clear domain links were screened by reviewers and assigned one or multiple domains. ChatGPT's overall performance, as well as its performance across the domains of Good Medical Practice, was evaluated.

RESULTS

Overall, ChatGPT performed well, scoring 76% on the SJT but scoring full marks on only a few questions (9%), which may reflect possible flaws in ChatGPT’s situational judgement or inconsistencies in the reasoning across questions (or both) in the examination itself. ChatGPT demonstrated consistent performance across the 4 outlined domains in Good Medical Practice for doctors.

CONCLUSIONS

Further research is needed to understand the potential applications of large language models, such as ChatGPT, in medical education for standardizing questions and providing consistent rationales for examinations assessing professionalism and ethics.
Air Quality Prediction using Machine Learning and Cloud Computing
Authors: Chaudhari Prof. D.J
Published: May 2023

Abstract: Because humans rely so heavily on air for their survival, air quality has also become a topic of controversy. Today's air quality is quite dangerous for human intake due to the rising urbanization. Many people die each year as a result of respiratory ailments brought on by breathing in poor air. Urbanization cannot be prevented, but there must be a human warning system that allows a person to be informed of dangerous air pollution in the area. A person can choose an alternative route of travel or decide not to go somewhere if the pollution levels are excessive. In an effort to find a cooperative solution to the issue, we will try to research numerous papers written by other authors. So, in order to fulfill our goal of predicting air pollution, we must first gather information about the weather's impact on air quality. After gathering data for a particular location, we will construct a training dataset that will be used to train the XGBoost machine learning algorithm, which will forecast the results of the training data input. Then these trained model will be integrated with the web module. The web module will take input and predict the air quality index based on it.

Abstract: The development of data society and the improvement of people needs has made E-ticket an inevitable trend, making it a typical stage for online ticketing. The development in technology has expanded the skylines of the advanced world. This development has reduced the need for real money and popularized the use of virtual money. E-ticketing is one of the most wellknown types of online exchanging. Utilizing Android Phones customers can reduce their trouble of remaining in the queue and booking the tickets. The downside of hanging tight for the ticket was reduced with the invention of the savvy cards, however, the user needed to remember to convey the card with him. Additionally, the disadvantage of savvy cards was that it could get misplaced or stolen. With the advent of E-Ticketing, the customer just needed to convey an SMS or a printout of the ticket which the customer had booked online. In any case, that required PCs or desktop for booking. Therefore came into the front the use of advanced mobile phone application where conveying a PDA will do practically everything. Likewise, our Android application provides a bus area with advance google map which demonstrates the area of the bus. Keywords: QR Code, Bus Ticket, GPS, Live Tracking

La potencia del mirar: la poética ética en el cine no-ficcional de Agnès Varda
Authors: Martínez Bonilla Mariana
Published: May 2023

A lo largo de este texto se analizan algunos de los elementos constituyentes de la poética de la directora belga Agnès Varda. Se parte de la hipótesis de que, en sus obras de carácter no ficcional, la directora establece una serie de parámetros éticos que permiten hablar de una poética-ética, pero también de una práctica política. Para llevar a cabo dicho análisis se recurre a la práctica indisciplinada de los estudios visuales y se proponen tres ejes conceptuales para intentar comprender las diversas articulaciones del sentido en las obras analizadas. Estos ejes son: la mirada, el encuadre y el afecto. Finalmente, se concluye con la recapitulación de aquellos elementos que constituyen la potencia estética de las obras de la directora, enclavada en la noción del encuentro con el otro como punto de partida de su poética-ética.
På sporet av faglighet i begynneropplæringen: tekstsamtaler i norskfaget
Authors: Berge Ingeborg Margrete , Bakken Arild Michel , Skaftun Atle
Published: May 2023

Denne artikkelen undersøker hvordan læreren legger til rette for elevenes deltakelse i tekstsamtaler på 2. trinn og hvilken faglig praksis som er representert i disse samtalene. I analysene tar vi utgangspunkt i Mortimer og Scotts (2003) rammeverk for å gripe og beskrive talens betydning og funksjon knyttet til undervisning og læring i skolefag, og vi knytter elevenes faglige praksis til Shanahan og Shanahans (2008) sortering i tre nivå av literacyutvikling: basic, intermediate og disciplinary literacy. Resultatene indikerer at lærernes bruk av tekster er avgjørende for hva slags didaktiske formål som settes i spill i undervisningen, og at tydeligere faglig forankring kombinert med enkle grep kan tilføre tekstarbeidet i begynneropplæringen både dybde og en meningsfull retning.
English abstract
Tracing disciplinary literacy in year 2. Text conversations in Norwegian L1 classrooms

This article examines how the teacher facilitates the students’ participation in text conversations in 2nd grade Norwegian L1 classrooms, and which literacy practice is represented in these conversations. The analyses are based on Mortimer & Scott’s (2003) framework designed to grasp and describe the significance and function of talk in education and learning in school subjects, and the students’ literacy practices are analyzed through Shanahan and Shanahan’s (2008) three levels of literacy development: basic, intermediate, and disciplinary literacy. Results indicate that how teachers use the text determines which teaching purposes are in play, and that a deeper disciplinary anchoring combined with a few simple moves can provide more depth and meaningful direction for working with texts in early literacy instruction.

A language is related to other languages because these languages are similar to one another. The kinship between Javanese and Sasak languages can be seen in lexical and phonemic correspondences. This study aims to analyze the kinship relationship based on numerical calculations between the Javanese and Sasak languages and the lexicostatistical order of the two languages. This research uses qualitative and quantitative methods. Data were obtained using the literature study method, corresponding to Morris Swades' 200 basic vocabulary using direct note-taking techniques. Data analysis used the lexicostatistics method. The result of the research is that after lexicostatistical calculations have been carried out, the percentage of kinship between Javanese and Sasak languages is 23.8%. Based on the error analysis, it is known that Javanese and Sasak were a single language around 1553-1317 years ago. The Javanese and Sasak languages are estimated to have started to separate from Proto around 469 – 705 AD (calculated by 2022).
