Authors: Suardika I Gede , Harini Puspita Ni Nyoman
Published: April 2021

Perkembangan perekonomian saat ini mengarah ke wujud usaha masyarakat. Hal ini bertujuan untuk mewujudkan perekonomian masyarakat yang mandiri.  Salah satu contohnya adalah kelompok usaha tenun kain endek di daerah Badung utara tepatnya di Desa Getasan, Kecamatan Petang, Provinsi Bali. Usaha ini bernama Fortuna Sari yang memiliki lima belas pengerajin. Usaha kelompok Tenun ini berdiri semenjak Mei 2014. Pangsa pasar yang saat ini dimiliki berjualan di sekitar lokasi usaha dan dari luar desa yang merupakan relasi dari pengurus, seperti Dinas, Desa, organisasi dan perorangan. Media pemasaran saat ini belum memanfaatkan media pemasaran online seperti media sosial dan website yang dimiliki memiliki domain yang tidak mencerminkan produk. Selain itu proses pencatatan pendapatan dan pengeluaran dari usaha ini menggunakan masih buku tulis. Berdasarkan hal tersebut maka, pengabdian ini akan dilaksanakan dalam dua aspek, yaitu mengajarkan penggunaan media online secara maksimal dan mengajarkan untuk menggunakan aplikasi Excel untuk pencatatan pengeluaran dan pendapatan. Dalam pelatihan ini juga akan dibantu membuatkan video yang menjelaskan kualitas tenun yang diproduksi. Situasi yang mendukung pengabdian ini akan terlaksana adalah pengurus memiliki kemampuan menggunakan komputer dan media sosial. Target dari diadakannya pengabdian ini adalah kelompok usaha tenun dapat menggunakan media online secara maksimal, memiliki video yang menjelaskan kualitas kain yang menjadi ciri khas dan keunggulan produk, dapat menggunakan aplikasi Excel untuk mencatat pendapatan dan pengeluaran.

Published: April 2021

Aim: Our study aimed primarily to determine whether there was a relationship between total gastric residual volume (GRV) amounts and two different GRV thresholds and the development of gastrointestinal intolerance in patients on mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) and secondarily, to determine the effects of different GRV quantities on ventilator-related conditions (VAC).Methods: Seventy patients above the age of 18 who were scheduled to be fed with enteral nutrition (EN) for at least three days, were divided into two groups including 35 patients according to GRV threshold values of 250 ml and 500 ml. The total amounts of GRV of the patients who did not exceed any of the two GRV thresholds during the follow-up period of 72 hours were recorded and calculated. For all patients, necessary data was recorded and high gastric residual volume rates (HGRV), times to reach target calories, mean GRV amounts, abdominal distension, vomiting, diarrhea, VAC and infection-related ventilator-related complications (IVAC) were all observed.Results: Although there were statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of the HGRV rates and the HGRV rates exceeding the determined threshold values [p <0.05], there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of abdominal distension, vomiting, diarrhea, VAC and IVAC (p> 0.05).Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that measuring the amount of GRV in intensive care patients fed by EN via the nasogastric tube in order to decide on gastrointestinal motility function and to reduce the complication rate, is not necessary.
The Impact of Teaching Interventions for Electrical Circuits on the Structure of Primary School Students’ Written Arguments
Authors: Skoumios Michael , Balia Constantinia
Published: April 2021

The present paper aims at investigating the impact of a teaching intervention for electrical circuits, based on the constructivist approach to learning, with the engagement of students in science and engineering practices, on the structure of primary school students’ written arguments. Furthermore, the comparison between the learning outcomes (regarding the structure of students’ arguments) of this teaching intervention and the respective learning outcomes of another teaching intervention for electrical circuits, which is based on the school textbook primary school students in Greece are taught, is pursued. Instructional material on electrical circuits was developed based on the constructivist approach to learning, with the engagement of students in science and engineering practices, and was implemented with 34 students aged 11 years (experimental group). In addition, according to the school science textbook, which is based on the Guided Research Teaching Model, electrical circuits were taught to 38 students aged 11 years (control group). Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire completed by the students before and after the two teaching interventions. Data analysis used a scale of two-level classified criteria. It emerged that the teaching intervention implemented in the experimental group significantly contributed to improving the structure of students’ written arguments. By contrast, the structure of written arguments developed by students belonging to the control group was not significantly improved.
Self-Regulated Learning in Undergraduate Science
Authors: Higgins Nathan , Frankland Sarah , Rathner Joseph
Published: April 2021

Undergraduate science courses are particularly challenging for students transitioning into university. The departure from supportive high school environments can be difficult for students lacking self-directed and self-motivated learning skills. Many high-achieving school graduates entering higher education are surprised to discover they are ill-prepared to be accountable for their learning (Stanton et al., 2015). Over the past two decades, there has been a mounting interest in the pedagogical approaches aimed at equipping students with the capabilities of a lifelong learner (Australian Qualifications Framework, 2013; Oliver & Jorre de St Jorre, 2018; Boud & Dochy, 2010). Consequently, research efforts in higher education have attempted to identify the behavioural strategies and motivational states associated with academic success. Self-regulated learning (SRL) is an umbrella term encompassing the independent and self-directed strategies that allow students to recognise and regulate their learning (Dinsmore et al., 2008). In brief, self-regulation is what a lifelong learner does. In science disciplines, much attention has been directed towards curricula that facilitate the development of SRL in students, such that they become aware of, and maintain control over their learning of complex scientific concepts. This study reviews the current theoretical perspectives, methodological approaches, and emerging trends from research on SRL in higher education science.

Servant-leadership roles of principals on the work alienation perceptions of teachers
Authors:   Okan Universty, Turkey, Ünsal Yildiz
Published: April 2021

Servant leadership is a modern approach to leadership that has been the subject of a growing number of investigations in recent years. As with any organization within the social structure, alienation is also occurring in the school organization. High level of alienation threatens the functioning of the school organization; in a healthy way function. It was seen as important to know the effect of servant leadership behavior on the alienation of teachers. This research was conducted to examine the relationship between servant leadership and work alienation, based on the opinions of teachers. The data of the research conducted in the descriptive screening model were obtained from 484 teachers working in all primary, secondary and high schools in the Central Districts of Şanlıurfa Province in Turkey. The Servant Leadership Scale and Teachers' Alienation Scale for Teachers were used to determine the servant leadership behaviors of principals that teachers perceive and their level of work alienation. As a result of this research, it was found that the perceptions of the servant leadership of the participants towards their principals were high, and their job alienation levels were weak. While the perceptions of the servant leadership differed in terms of the teachers’ school location, the way their administrators were appointed, the type of their school, the number of teachers in their school and their marital status variable, these did not differ significantly in terms of the teachers’ gender, years of service, branch and educational status. Participants' level of alienation to work; showed a significant difference according to the school location and branch variable. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in terms of gender, years of service, appointment of administrators, school type, number of teachers in school, marital status and educational status. A negative relationship was found between teachers' perceptions of servant leadership and work alienation. According to this result, as the servant leadership score increases, the level of work alienation decreases. These results were studied according to the literature and recommendations were made to teachers and administrators.
SOCIAL POLICY IN RELATION TO MILITARY SERVICEMEN’S FAMILIES DURING THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR (BASED ON THE MATERIALS OF NORTH OSSETIA)
Authors:   North Ossetian State University named after Kosta Levanovich Khetagurov, KHUBULOVA S.A.
Published: April 2021

The article considers the directions of social work with military families during the great Patriotic war. Archived sources and ego-documents introduced into scientific circulation allow us to analyze this problem from different sides. It is noted that assistance to this category of population was provided in several ways. First of all, this is state support and patronage, which allowed us to provide targeted assistance in the form of food and manufactured goods parcels, housing benefits, placement of children in kindergartens and schools, and preferential employment rights. Along with the state, the families of combatants were supported by public organizations, trade unions, etc. The Timur movement has also become a form of social assistance for this category of population. In regional historiography, little attention is paid to the problem of adaptation of war invalids in the conditions of the rear region, which also turned out to be another poorly protected layer of Soviet society. State assistance consisted not only in awarding disability pensions, but also in organizing retraining with further employment, and solving the housing problem. For the first time, the article raises the issue of providing assistance to children of military personnel, including orphans. The scope of the measures that the state has provided to support children is analyzed. Of great scientific interest is the analysis of ego documents-complaints, statements, letters, which give an idea of the problems faced by military families in everyday life. It is concluded that paternalistic social policy was closely intertwined with public assistance from voluntary organizations, youth unions and ordinary citizens of the Republic.

The published documents were found in the archives of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. These are the materials of the meetings of the Soviet and party authorities of the Mountain Republic, which were devoted to the discussion of the problem of Kabarda's secession from the polyethnic mountain autonomy. The Kabardian problem was discussed several times by the leadership of the Mountain Republic in June 1921 before and after the congress of the peoples of Kabarda that took place this month. The minutes of the meetings have not yet been published in the published thematic collections of documents dedicated to the history of the nation-building of the peoples of the North Caucasus. The documents contribute to the understanding of the position of the statesmen of the Mountain Republic on the formation of new autonomous units and the identification of the concrete historical content of these processes. The protocols make it possible to reconstruct the process of not only the disintegration of the collective mountain statehood, but also make it possible to clarify important points in the history of its creation. Party and Soviet leaders often returned to the problems of the initial stage of the formation of the Mountain Republic. Further study of the problems of the formation of a system of national autonomies in the North Caucasus in recent times will largely depend, including on the introduction of new documents into scientific circulation and their interpretation by a wide range of researchers. In this regard, the published documents and materials are of great scientific interest.
PECULARITIES OF INDIGENIZATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE AND CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS OF KABARDINO-BALKARIA IN THE LIGHT OF NEWLY FOUND ARCHIVAL DOCUMENTS

The problems of indigenization in the North Caucasus in domestic historiography are considered in the chronological framework of 1920-1930., although these processes really began in the imperial period. After the end of the Caucasian war, the royal government is looking for ways to adapt the mountain peoples into the Russian socio-cultural space, turning the region that absorbing huge material and human resources to the region enriching the country. The imperial experience of managing the region in the end led to awareness of the need to attract the authorities of representatives of the elite from the number of indigenous people. The Bolsheviks took into account the mistakes of their predecessors, and were able to give acceleration to the pace of integration of the Highlanders to the Soviet social and cultural space. They did not fail to take advantage of the experience of the imperial administration in terms of attracting representatives of the autochthonous population into local governments. At the same time, without becoming his class approach, the Bolsheviks opened access to the social elevators to most Highlanders, which cut off representatives of the pre-revolutionary elite. In modern Russia, against the background of strengthening the challenges of globalization, leveling ethnic cultures, individual events of the Soviet nationality are of interest so far, for example, the practice of indigenization. Kabardino-Balkaria more than once turned out to be in the forefront of the Sovietization of the North Caucasus. Part of the events, of course, found the support of the main part of the population. But, in most of them, the population participated voluntarily forcibly, as a direct refusal would be more expensive. The article is based on new archival sources identified in the Funds of the State Archives of the Russian Federation (which are submitted below in this issue), documents from other archives and the latest research on the issue. In general, this made it possible to understand the origins of the process in the imperial period, its logical continuation and national-regional features of the implementation of the indigenization policy in the Soviet Kabardino-Balkaria. Multi-valued for the purposes and objectives, methods of implementation and specific results, this policy is characterized by unprecedented efforts to strengthen state and cultural institutions by national personnel. But much less researchers talk about the shadow side of the problem, which in modern conditions it is necessary to know for accounting in practical activities both positive and negative lessons to solve the Soviet rule of tasks associated with the national issue.

The Value of Mass-Produced Covid-19 Scenarios: An Evaluation of the Quality of Development Processes and Scenario Content
Authors: Crawford Megan M , Wright George
Published: April 2021

Hundreds of scenarios were developed across the world in the first six months of 2020, aimed at generating forward-looking conversations, better understanding COVID-19 transmission rates, trialling economic outcomes, and stress-testing existing systems in light of the developing pandemic. In response, Cairns & Wright (2020) offer three propositions that question the value of scenarios created retroactively to existing crises. We use a distilled version of the CSI typology (Crawford, 2019) as a guiding map against which we plot each scenario’s profile and test the three propositions. Our analyses largely support Cairns & Wright’s initial propositions that early COVID-19 scenarios i) are frozen pictures in time, ii) take a global perspective, and iii) are delivered to a general audience, resulting in lost value for their intended audiences and affected communities. Together, our papers develop and reinforce the message that scenario audiences should make an evaluation of all presented scenario sets using the yardsticks of (i) quality process and (ii) quality content - in order to appreciate the value of practitioner offerings.
Differential expression of sushi repeat containing protein, X-linked, SRPX, in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: April 2021

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding sushi repeat containing protein, X-linked, SRPX, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. SRPX was also differentially expressed in the tumor cells of patients with triple negative breast cancer. SRPX mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of SRPX in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with luminal B cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by molecular subtype. SRPX may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

Effects of expected task difficulty on metacognitive confidence and multitasking
Authors: Sherman Maxine Tamara , Seth Anil
Published: April 2021

In daily life, repeated experiences with a task (e.g. driving) will generally result in the development of a belief about one’s ability (“I am a good driver”). Here we ask how such beliefs, termed self-efficacy, interact with metacognitive confidence judgements. Across three pre-registered experiments, participants performed a perceptual discrimination task and reported their decision confidence. We induced contextual beliefs about performance (our operationalisation of self-efficacy) by manipulating the prior probability of an easy or hard trial occurring in each block. In Experiment 1 easy and hard trials generated the same levels of performance (a “subjective difficulty” manipulation), whereas in Experiments 2 and 3 performance differed across difficulty conditions (an “objective difficulty” manipulation). Results showed that context (self-efficacy) and difficulty interacted multiplicatively, consistent with the notion that confidence judgements combine decision evidence with a prior (contextual) belief on being correct. This occurred despite context having no corresponding effect on performance. We reasoned that performing tasks in easy contexts may reduce cognitive “load”, and tested this, in Experiment 3, by instructing participants to perform two tasks concurrently. Consistent with a reduction in load, the effects of context transferred from influencing confidence on our primary task to improving performance on the secondary task. Taken together, these studies reveal that contextual beliefs about performance facilitate multitasking, potentially by reducing the load of tasks believed to be easy, and they extend psychophysical investigations of perceptual decision-making by incorporating ‘higher-order’ beliefs about difficulty context, corresponding to intuitive notions of self-efficacy.
Personal identity after an autism diagnosis: Relationships with self-esteem, mental wellbeing and diagnostic timing
Authors: Corden Kirsten , Brewer Rebecca , Cage Eilidh
Published: April 2021

PLEASE CITE THE PUBLISHED VERSION AVAILABLE AT: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.699335/full Adults are increasingly seeking autism diagnoses, although less is known about their experiences of diagnosis and personal identity (i.e., autism as part of ‘me’), and how this relates to self-esteem and wellbeing. One-hundred and fifty-one autistic adults completed an online survey including measures of self-esteem, psychological wellbeing and autistic personal identity, which considered whether participants took pride in or were dissatisfied with being autistic. Fifty-four participants answered a qualitative question about the impact of receiving an autism diagnosis on their sense of self. Regression analyses found that greater time elapsed since diagnosis related to less dissatisfaction with autistic personal identity. We also found that more dissatisfaction with autistic personal identity predicted lower self-esteem, and more autism pride predicted higher self-esteem. Content analysis of participants’ experiences supported the quantitative findings and were suggestive of an emotive post-diagnostic adjustment process. Future research should aim to identify ways to promote the development of a positive autistic personal identity post-diagnosis in adulthood.
Social Class and Wellbeing among Staff and Students in Higher Education Settings: Mapping the Problem and Exploring Underlying Mechanisms
Authors: Dougall Isla , Weick Mario , Vasiljevic Milica
Published: April 2021

Within Higher Education (HE), staff and students from lower social class backgrounds often experience poorer wellbeing than their higher social class counterparts. Previous research conducted outside educational contexts has linked social class differences in wellbeing with differences in the extent to which low and high social class individuals feel respected (i.e., status), in control (i.e., autonomy), and connected with others (i.e., inclusion). However, to our knowledge, there has been no research that has investigated those psychosocial needs within HE settings. Furthermore, inclusion, status and autonomy are correlated, yet little is known about how these psychosocial needs contribute to wellbeing simultaneously, and independently, of one another. To fill these gaps, we report the results of two studies; firstly with HE students (Study 1; N = 305), and secondly with HE staff (Study 2; N = 261). Consistently across studies, reports of poor wellbeing were relatively common and more than twice as prevalent amongst lower social class staff and students compared to higher social class staff and students. Inclusion, status and autonomy each made a unique contribution and accounted for the relationship between social class and wellbeing (fully amongst students, and partially amongst staff members). These relationships held across various operationalisations of social class and when examining a range of facets of wellbeing. Social class along with inclusion, status and autonomy explained a substantial 40% of the variance in wellbeing. The present research contributes to the literature exploring how social class intersects with psychosocial needs to impact the wellbeing of staff and students within HE.
Abrasivity characteristics of rocks from India and Nepal
Authors: Karki Kiran
Published: April 2021

Over the years, many attempts have been made to define and characterise rock abrasiveness. However, it is found that abrasiveness of rocks is not only difficult to define but also hard to measure. A number of relative rock abrasiveness tests have emerged but their results do not always faithfully reflect the characteristics of the rocks that may be useful in the excavation process. Under the circumstances, an in­ depth study of rock abrasiveness is warranted. The present study may provide additional help to fill a gap in this area.

The study has addressed a number of issues on abrasivity of rocks and the objectives included inter-alia the following: 1. Developing and standardising appropriate testing techniques for evaluation of the abrasiveness and microhardness of the mine rocks. 2. Evaluating the abrasivity characteristics of mine rocks from Mosaboni copper mine, Jhinkpani limestone quarry and Indian coal-measure strata, Jharia, all from the Bihar State of India. 3. Evaluating the characteristics of a suite of rocks from Nepal (limestone from Nigale and quartzite from Bhedetar, Dhankuta District, Nepal).

In this study a number of testing methods have been used to evaluate rock abrasiveness of rocks, specially the Cerchar Abrasivity Index (CAI), Schimazek Index and Indian School of Mines Abrasivity Test (ISMAT). The tests were performed in the rock mechanics laboratory of Indian School of Mines (ISM), Dhanbad, India. The results of these tests are discussed in detail. Hopefully, this study on abrasivity characteristics of rocks will aid in the selection of appropriate tools and excavation systems thereby enhancing the work performances and reducing the costs in excavations.

Low cost passive monitoring of sulphur dioxide in ambient air: An effort from developing world
Authors: Maskey-Byanju Rejina , Gewali M. B. , Manandhar K.
Published: April 2021

Standard sulphur dioxide (SO2) monitoring techniques require expensive instrumentation which is not easily adapted for large scale monitoring by resource limited countries. This paper presents the use of locally available relatively cheaper polyethylene tubes to be developed as passive diffusive sampler and use for monitoring of ambient sulphur dioxide using Tri-ethanolamine (TEA) as absorbent. After extraction with double distilled water, modified West-Gaeke method was used for analysis of sulphate adduct formed due to reaction of SO2 with TEA using spectrophotometer. The results are successfully compared with other standard methods. The detection limits and precision of the method as expressed as coefficient of variation are good for monitoring of SO2 in ambient air.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) index includes the stocks of 30 of the largest companies in the United States. It represents about a quarter of the value of the entire U.S. stock market. The changes in the DJIA index are often considered to be representative of the entire stock market. The basic aims of this paper are: firstly, to create the simple chaotic the DJIA stock market index growth model that is capable of generating stable equilibria, cycles, or chaos; secondly, to analyze the local stability of the DJIA index movements in the period 1982-2009; and thirdly, to discover the equilibrium level of the DJIA index in the observed period. This paper confirms the existence of the stable convergent fluctuations of the DJIA index in the observed period. Also, the golden ratio can be used to define the equilibrium level of the DJIA index in the presented chaotic model.

By predicting cash flows in the capital budgeting procedure, the profitability of an investment at the international level is determined in advance. Although investing globally provides greater opportunities for earnings, cost reduction and business diversification, all risks posed by international business must be considered when choosing a discount rate. In addition to the risks inherent in cross-border business such as exchange rate risk, country risk, the risks caused by the pandemic crisis, which relate primarily to measures taken by states to protect the population by introducing quarantine, restricting the flow of people, goods and capital, as well as activities that are endangered by a pandemic, must be considered too. If all the risks that determine the discount rate are well assessed, the cash flow forecast will be more accurate.

Despite their determination to work and build their careers, school graduates are not sufficiently prepared to look for work and the opportunities to search a job. In most cases they are well prepared in theory and language and are literate in modern technologies. Their biggest handicap is the lack of practical skills and work experience. At the same time, graduates have to face the challenges of accelerated globalization and digitization. It is necessary to find answers to questions about what professional knowledge, practical skills, attitudes and values will be shaped by today's graduates and how education systems can develop the required knowledge and skills. The ambition of our contribution is to identify the main disparities that must be overcome in order to achieve the goal of the country's economic development strategy, in which the education system must inevitably correspond to the labour market requirements.

Kotler's 2002 definition of place marketing is as follows: "Place marketing means designing a site to meet the needs of its target markets. The development of places means the development for a place of a systematic long-term marketing strategy, directed towards the identification and development of the natural and potential attributes of an area”. The elaboration of a marketing mix for the tourist destination is the main tool for marketing planning and for adopting the most appropriate strategies. Given that each tourist destination has its specificity, the marketing mix must contain its own elements, adapted to the objectives set. In this paper we chose to exemplify a way to apply and combine the components of the following marketing mix: product, price, distribution, promotion, staff, partnerships, packaging, security, process management for the tourist destination Brasov Area.
