Authors: Suhirman Lalu Suhirman , Rahayu Budi , Rinantanti Yulini
Published: January 2025

This study aims to describe the implementation of English teaching in Elementary Schools (ES) in Jayapura City. To provide a detailed and accurate mapping, the study focuses on four specific objectives: (a) assessing the availability of English teachers in each ES; (b) describing the qualifications, training, and teaching experience of these teachers; (c) evaluating the availability of facilities and infrastructure for English learning; and (d) identifying the challenges schools face in teaching English. A descriptive-qualitative method was employed, with a sample of 51 schools that continue to teach English. Using snowball sampling, 9 schools were selected, involving 11 English teachers and 9 principals, for a total of 20 respondents. The findings reveal that, while all teachers possess a bachelor's degree in English education, they lack the necessary skills to design lesson plans and have limited experience teaching English at the primary level. Additionally, digital learning resources, textbooks, and printed media for English instruction are insufficient. The study recommends that the Jayapura District Education Office take these findings into account to support the development of an updated English syllabus for elementary schools that aligns with the current curriculum.

Authors: Susini Made , Ana I Wayan , Sujaya Nyoman
Published: January 2025

Back-translation method in translation studies is basically applied to assess translation quality. This method requires further development when the source language undergoes significant changes. This research explores text reconstructions as consequences of language change. Deploying theories of back-translation and language change, it focuses on another merit of back-translation method to reconstruct old texts. The research involves Indonesian novels written decades ago in old Indonesian as the original texts and their English translations as the source texts for back-translation process. The research process includes translating the translated texts back into Indonesian using contemporary Indonesian, comparing the results of back-translation with the original texts, and reconstructing texts using present-day Indonesian. The text reconstructions are carried out when the differences of word choices and forms between the original and back-translation texts are not in terms of meanings and the texts show language change. This research reveals that text reconstructions of old Indonesian texts can be carried out by substitution, reduction, amplification, and transposition methods. The methods of text reconstruction are in accordance with their respective language changes. Substitution method is applicable when the texts show lexical or semantic change, reduction method when the texts show morphological or syntactic change, amplification method when the texts show morphological change, and transposition method when the texts show syntactic change.

Published: January 2025

The electronic and optical properties of undoped sodium iodide (NaI) were investigated. This study was carried out by the method of the Density Functional Theory (DFT) implemented by Quantum Expresso. The approximation used is the GGA (Generalized Gradient Approximation). The determined lattice parameter is 4.4485 Å. According to the results obtained, the electronic and optical properties are those of an indirect-gap semiconductor. The gap obtained is 3.712 eV. The electronic properties are affected by the 2s state of iodine and the 3p state of iodine I. With regard to optical properties, the evolution of the real part of the dielectric function ε1(ω) shows that incident electromagnetic waves are mainly reflected by the medium in a certain energy region. The material then exhibits metallic behaviour. This can provide layers of protection against radiation in these energy regions. The imaginary part ε2(ω) of the dielectric function shows several peaks certainly due to the transitions of electrons between 3p states of sodium, 2s states of iodine and 3p states of iodine but especially 2s states of iodine and 3p states of iodine. We can therefore say that the electronic transition takes place between the 2s state of I and the 3p state of I. These studies on the electronic and optical properties prove that sodium iodide (NaI) is of considerable interest.

Authors: Vindhika Gotami Halim  , I Nyoman Rai  , Ni Nyoman Ari Mayadewi
Published: January 2025

Tejakula tangerine (Citrus reticulata cv. Tejakula) is one of the citrus with a characteristic bright yellow fruit. This type of citrus is favored by many people because of its fresh and sweet taste compared to other oranges. Tejakula tangerines experience problems at this time, namely the decline in the quality of the fruit produced. The declining fruit quality is caused by several obstacles, one of which is unjuicy fruit. Unjuicy fruit or the tip of the upper fruit, near the fruit stalk is white like cotton, low water content and bland taste. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of cultivation altitude and fruit growing position on unjuicy fruit in Tejakula tangerines. This study used a randomized group split plot design with two factors. The first factor is the cultivation altitude with two levels, namely the height of the cultivation site 0-150 meters above sea level (m asl) (K1), the height of the cultivation site >150-300 m asl (K2). The second factor is fruit growth position with two levels: fruit growth position on the outer crown (Pl), fruit growth position on the inner crown (Pd). The results of the K2 treatment gave the best results on the percentage of unjuicy fruit weight (11.11%), the Percentage of the of Unjuicy Fruit (11.11%), the percentage of the number and weight of unjuicy fruits at lightly level (9.52%), the percentage of the number and weight of unjuicy fruits at medium level (0.79%). Pd treatment gave the best results on the percentage of unjuicy fruit weight (11.11%), the Percentage of the of Unjuicy Fruit (11.11%), the percentage of the number and weight of medium unjuicy fruits (0.79%). K2Pd interaction gave better results for the variables of percentage of unjuicy fruit weight (9.52%), percentage of unjuicy number (9.52%) and percentage of number and weight of medium unjuicy fruits (0%).

Enhancing Self-Control and Peer Attachment: Counseling Strategies for Reducing Juvenile Delinquency in Islamic Boarding School
Authors: Anjila Wilda Nur , Hakim Arif Rahman , Maulidia Ananda Saadatul
Published: January 2025

This study examines the influence of self-control and peer attachment on juvenile delinquency among students at an Islamic boarding school. Islamic boarding schools, or pesantren, are unique educational institutions in Indonesia that emphasize both religious education and moral development. However, the strict discipline and regulations within pesantren often lead to instances of deviant behavior among adolescent students, who are particularly vulnerable during this transitional life stage. The study involved 219 students, with data collected using the Peer Attachment Scale and the Brief Self Control Scale (BSCS). The results of multiple regression analysis revealed that both self-control and peer attachment significantly impact juvenile delinquency, with peer attachment showing a stronger influence. Specifically, higher levels of self-control were associated with lower delinquency rates, while positive peer attachment was found to reduce delinquent behaviors. The findings suggest that targeted interventions in pesantren should focus on enhancing self-regulation skills and fostering positive peer relationships to mitigate delinquency. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of continuous supervision and collaboration between counselors, parents, and school authorities to create a supportive environment that promotes moral and character development. These insights provide a foundation for improving guidance and counseling strategies in pesantren, aiming to cultivate a more disciplined and ethically grounded student body.

Published: January 2025

This study examines the relationship between gratitude and subjective well-being among fatherless university students in Solo Raya, Indonesia. With Indonesia's increasing rates of fatherlessness, understanding its psychological impact on young adults is crucial. Through quantitative correlational analysis involving 186 students, the research investigates how gratitude, as a psychological resource, contributes to subjective well-being, encompassing life satisfaction and positive affect. Findings indicate a significant positive correlation between gratitude and subjective well-being, with gratitude accounting for 33.17% of the variance in well-being. This suggests that gratitude fosters emotional resilience, supporting students in coping with the challenges of fatherlessness. Descriptive and regression analyses reveal a medium to high concentration of gratitude and subjective well-being among participants, indicating gratitude’s potential as a stabilizing factor in their lives. The study further discusses demographic factors, finding minimal gender differences in gratitude expression, and highlights counseling implications. By integrating gratitude interventions, counselors can aid students in developing emotional stability, enhancing social connections, and potentially improving physical health outcomes. This study underscores the importance of fostering gratitude in educational counseling, contributing to a positive campus culture and emotional support for fatherless students. Future research could explore long-term effects of gratitude practices across diverse demographics to provide deeper insights into enhancing well-being in single-parent households.

Published: January 2025

Counseling is a deeply communicative process where effective interaction between counselor and client determines the success of addressing individual challenges. Counselors are tasked with creating empathetic, respectful, and wise relationships, ensuring clients feel safe to express their emotions and concerns. The principle of "Speak Good or Remain Silent," rooted in Islamic teachings and supported by the hadith from Sahih Bukhari (Index 5670), underscores the importance of ethical communication. This study examines the significance of this principle in counseling practices, focusing on its role in maintaining client confidentiality, fostering trust, and promoting a supportive counseling environment. Using a textual analysis method, the study delves into historical and contemporary perspectives on the principle. Primary sources include hadith texts and supporting Islamic literature, while secondary sources explore its application in ethics and professional counseling. The hadith is analyzed for authenticity through its sanad (chain of transmission) and matan (content), confirming its classification as sahih li dhatihi (authentic in itself) and a valid foundation for practice. Findings highlight the ethical and spiritual dimensions of speaking wisely in counseling, with practical implications for creating a comfortable, respectful environment for clients. Silence, as an alternative to unwise speech, is shown to be a critical tool for counselors to prevent harm and promote deeper understanding. This study offers valuable insights for integrating Islamic ethical principles into professional counseling, benefiting both Muslim and non-Muslim practitioners in fostering meaningful client-counselor relationships.

Authors:   University of Sarajevo, Faculty of Science, Department of Geography, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, ŽUNIĆ Lejla
Published: January 2025

Museum development in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially in the capital (Sarajevo), is an accompanying
phenomenon of the overall tourism development. The paper aims to identify and valorise top museums in Bosnia and
Herzegovina in order to comprehend tourism and museums growth features, including the tourist perceptions, which are
important for sustainable museum and tourism planning. Tourism and museum expansion were investigated concurrently,
with over 30,000 visitor reviews. The top museums were identified by analysing and evaluating reviews on popular travel
information websites, taking into account the highest frequency and rating, and relying on the GIS mapping for their spatial
visualisation. Statistical analysis and cartographic demonstration were conducted to determine the trends in museum and
tourism development. The popularity of museums provides understanding visitors' interests since reviews are a vital
component of destination marketing and planning for long-term development. Bosnia and Herzegovina, particularly its capital
Sarajevo, exemplifies the cohesion of tourism and cultural (museum) evolution. Key attributes of popular national museums
enhance comprehension of the cultural dimensions of tourism development. The National Museum of Bosnia and
Herzegovina and war museums (Tunnel of Hope and Gallery 11/07/95) account for 50-90% of total excellent reviews, making
them top museums in the country. Dark history (1992–1995) has a significant impact on museum settings, contributing to the
building and preservation of the country's cultural identity while also promoting Sarajevo as a famous European city under th e
former longest siege in modern European history and today's leading tourism and museum destination.

The Creation of a Dictator: The Path to the Lukashenka Presidency in Belarus
Authors: Marples David R.
Published: January 2025

The paper examines the political situation in Belarus in the early 1990s and specifically the emergence of Aliaksandr Lukashenka as a leading actor. It asks the question: could the rise of Lukashenka, a future dictator, have been prevented? It argues that there were a number of occasions when a failure to act or unite prevented any sustained attempts to prevent Lukashenka from becoming Belarus’ first and only president. Ironically, a group of young politicians perceived Lukashenka as someone who could be exploited for their own political goals. Ultimately, they paid the price by being physically eliminated or targeted as political rivals. Others backed Lukashenka but without political ambitions and made up his most prominent coterie members.
A Hybrid EM Algorithm for Linear Two-Way Interactions With Missing Data
Authors: Kim Dale S.
Published: January 2025

We study an Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm for estimating product-term regression models with missing data. The study of such problems in the frequentist tradition has thus far been restricted to an EM algorithm method using full numerical integration. However, under most missing data patterns, we show that this problem can be solved analytically, and numerical approximations are only needed under specific conditions. Thus we propose a hybrid EM algorithm, which uses analytic solutions when available and approximate solutions only when needed. The theoretical framework of our algorithm is described herein, along with three empirical experiments using both simulated and real data. We demonstrate that our algorithm provides greater estimation accuracy, exhibits robustness to distributional violations, and confers higher power to detect interaction effects. We conclude with a discussion of extensions and topics of further research.

Legal Permissibility of Autonomous Weapon Systems, with Specific Reference to the Principles of International Humanitarian Law
Authors: Perišić Petra , Tomljenović Marija
Published: January 2025

Autonomous weapon systems have been used in armed conflicts for the past twenty years. The first country in the world to use them was the United States. Namely, they have proven to be a very effective tool in the fight against terrorism, but also a very effective means of warfare. In recent years, other states have been using them as well. For instance, Azerbaijan was using operational-tactical drones in the Second War against Armenia and was the first state to win a convincing victory by employing them. At present, drones are also being used in the Russo-Ukrainian war. Many world governments are showing massive interest in purchasing them, as well as other types of autonomous weapon systems, for military-strategic advantages. However, it is not only states that are acquiring that kind of weapons. Terrorist organizations, as well as other non-state actors, do so as well. The international community is divided on the issue of permissibility of the use of autonomous weapons. Some states require an absolute ban on their employment, while others do not entirely oppose them, but propose the adoption of an internationally binding agreement to regulate their use. As there is yet no such binding agreement, their permissibility should at the present moment be assessed by examining their compatibility with the existing principles of international humanitarian law. This paper aims at demonstrating that autonomous weapon systems do not meet the requirements of the IHL principles, although development of such weapons is still in progress and is yet to be seen whether this development will lead to a different conclusion.

Importance: Women with a history of depression are less likely to breastfeed and experience more breastfeeding challenges. Potential biological mechanisms that link maternal depression with poor breastfeeding outcomes have not been investigated. Objective: Examine associations between maternal lifetime history of depression and maternal DNA methylation at the oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR), and associations between maternal OXTR DNA methylation and breastfeeding outcomes. Design: Longitudinal observational data from the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa) were analysed. Setting: MoBa is a population-based nationwide pregnancy cohort study conducted by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.Participants: N=3,607 participants selected from three subsets of the MoBa cohort for whom DNA methylation data was available. Exposures: Lifetime history of major depression was self-reported during pregnancy (week 15) using 6 items that closely correspond to the DSM-III criteria for lifetime major depression. Main outcomes and measures: Blood samples were collected at week 16-18 of pregnancy, and DNA methylation was measured using the Illumina Methylation EPIC BeadChip 850K array. This array includes 22 CpG sites on the OXTR gene, which were used in analyses. Mothers self-reported breastfeeding initiation (breastmilk given to child in first month post-birth), breastfeeding maintenance (breastmilk given to child for 6 months or more) and breastfeeding problems.Results: Maternal lifetime history of depression was not associated with DNA methylation at the OXTR gene. There was some evidence that maternal DNA methylation at the OXTR gene was associated with breastfeeding outcomes. The strongest evidence was for an association between the CpG site cg26455676 and the maintenance of breastfeeding to 6 months after birth (odds ratio=1.59, 95% confidence intervals=1.11-2.27, raw p=0.01, adjusted p=0.04). Higher levels of maternal DNA methylation at CpG cg26455676 was associated with a greater likelihood of maintaining breastfeeding to 6 months after birth. Conclusions and relevance: This highly novel study highlights the intriguing possibility that maternal DNA methylation at genes important for breastfeeding may be associated with breastfeeding experiences. Further understanding of why women have vastly differing breastfeeding experiences would assist with the targeting of efforts to support breastfeeding women, particularly those who are vulnerable, such as mothers who have depression.
Extreme Weather Events: Perception, Pro-Environmental Behavior, and the Tools to Measure Them
Authors: Donovan Christopher , Shrum Trisha
Published: January 2025

Understanding the motivations and barriers to pro-environmental behavior is essential in mitigating climate change. Extreme weather events may act as focusing events that disrupt routines and encourage pro-environmental behavior, but the inability to reliably measure behavior makes it challenging to study.We used two representative surveys of US residents to administer the REBL Scale, a unidimensional and invariant measure of short-term, pro-environmental behavior. We used factor analytic models to investigate whether experience with extreme weather events influenced REBL scores, either directly or indirectly, as well as whether the effect was mediated or moderated by psychological distance to climate change and attribution of weather events to climate change, respectively.Experience with extreme weather events had both significant direct and indirect effects on REBL scores. Respondents who reported being affected by extreme weather were more likely to have performed pro-environmental behaviors in the last week. Psychological distance was a significant mediator of the indirect effect, which was stronger than the direct effect. The moderating effect of attribution of events to climate change was ambiguous; two methods of latent moderation produced conflicting results.The results suggest that experiences with extreme weather may influence behavior even while controlling for political preferences. Psychological distance could be an important factor in designing behavioral interventions. The moderating effect of attribution deserves further research, as do the latent moderation methods we use to study interactions.

Background: We examined how estimates of parenting program effects on disruptive child behavior have evolved over time. In addition, we examined if any time trends in effect sizes can be explained by trial, sample, or intervention characteristics. Methods: We systematically searched 22 international and regional databases, grey literature, and 4 trial registries for randomized controlled trials of behavioral parenting programs. Results: We identified 235 eligible trials (1,003 effect sizes) from 35 countries representing all six WHO regions. We found that intervention effects have grown smaller over time, with an average reduction of d = 0.09 per decade (95% CI [0.03, 0.16]). The trend was non-linear (β = −0.06, 95% CI [−0.10, −0.01]): effects reduced, from d = −0.83 in the 1980s to d = −0.57 in the 1990s to d = −0.35 in the 2000s, and then stabilized. Reductions in effect size were partly explained by trial characteristics (i.e., increased sample sizes and active control conditions, and reduced risk of selective outcome reporting) and sample characteristics (i.e., less severe samples and fewer boys). Other changes over time, unrelated to effect sizes, include older samples, less use of time-out, reduced use of observational outcome measures, less program developer involvement, and less risk of bias regarding random sequence generation and concealment, and incomplete outcome data. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that estimates of parenting program effect sizes are currently stable: Effect sizes are no longer reducing but there is also no evidence of recent increases. Experimentation with the content, delivery, and personalization of parenting programs is needed to identify ways to increase program effects.
Reinforcing spirals at work? The unpublished results tell a different tale
Authors: Dahlgren Peter Mattias
Published: January 2025

This brief research note contains an unpublished version with null results of the published article "Reinforcing spirals at work? Mutual influences between selective news exposure and ideological leaning". The published version, on the other hand, contain statistically significant results, and can be found at the following reference:Dahlgren, P. M., Shehata, A., & Strömbäck, J. (2019). Reinforcing spirals at work? Mutual influences between selective news exposure and ideological leaning. European Journal of Communication, 34(2), 159–174. doi:10.1177/0267323119830056.The published and unpublished version are based on different data and consequently reach quite different conclusions on internet media use and political polarization. The published version finds increase in polarization and support for the Reinforcing spirals model, while the unpublished version finds no increase in polarization and therefore no support for the Reinforcing spirals model.This is important to make public in order to combat publication bias and the overreliance on statistically significant results.
Between history and cultural psychology: Some reflections on mediation and normativity when reconstructing the past
Authors: de Luna Ignacio Brescó
Published: January 2025

Innis’ and Brinkmann’s papers tackle two key aspects in cultural psychology: the mediat- ing role played by the different systems of meanings throughout history in making sense of the world, and the normative role of those systems, including psychology itself. This paper offers a reflection on these two issues. It begins by highlighting the contribution of psychology and history, as emerging disciplines in the 19th century, to the creation of a normative framework for the subject of modernity according to the needs of modern nation states. It also alludes to both disciplines’ common pursuit of a reference point in natural science in order to achieve a status that is on a par with the latter’s. It is argued that this resulted in an objectivist stance that equates the study of memory and history with an accurate reproduction of the past, thus concealing the mediated nature of past accounts. Drawing on this assumption, it is discussed how past events are constructed, thus bringing mediation and meaning-making to the fore. Special attention is paid to narratives as symbolic meaning-making tools. We will conclude by discussing usage of the past and the role that cultural psychology can play in this field.
