Published: November 2023

This study aims to describe the various difficulties faced by students during brave learning in abstract algebra courses. The research subjects were 4 semesters VI students of Tadris Mathematics at IAIN Fattahul Muluk Papua who teach Abstract Algebra courses. Data collection techniques use observation and interviews of the think-aloud type which make it possible to vilify information through thinking subjects during the learning process. The results of the research show that the difficulties faced by each student vary. However, in general, the difficulties faced by students are understanding the material when using the WhatsApp, Google Classroom, and Zoom Cloud Meeting applications. Comprehension through the WhatsApp Group is less effective because the learning outcomes obtained by students are still low when compared to Google Classroom and Zoom Cloud Meetings.

Published: November 2023

In Indonesia, English is considered the first foreign language taught from high school to university. Vocabulary is very important to students, which is why researchers want to know about techniques that can be used to increase students' vocabulary. This study deals with vocabulary teaching techniques and aims to find out if using Liveworksheets can improve English vocabulary of 7th grade students at SMP Negri 5 Tondano school. This study is a quantitative study through pre-experimental design with group pre-test and post-test design with 11 students. The results of this study indicate that students' English vocabulary increased significantly after using Liveworksheets in vocabulary lessons. This is evidenced by the average score of the test before and after the test, i.e., 3.54 before the test and 8.0 after the test. This means that Liveworksheets are effective in increasing the English vocabulary of students from grade VII to SMP Negeri 5 Tondano. Live spreadsheets are easy to use, can be viewed for free via the web, used anytime, anywhere, have the effect of motivating students to learn and are a new teaching method. Use a laptop or smartphone to access Liveworksheets. And new learning techniques can focus students' attention on learning.

Comparison Trial of Two Behavioral Sleep Interventions to Improve Sleep-Related Outcomes and Reduce Technology Usage Among College Students
Authors: Pickett Scott M. , Lahar Kari I. , Gaillard Philippe , Kozak Andrea T.
Published: November 2023

Over 60% of college students are poor-quality sleepers, and many have inconsistent weekday and weekend sleep patterns. Technology usage (e.g., cellphone, computer, television) may contribute to poor sleep, but there is limited experimental research. In a comparison trial, 60 college students (mean age = 18.76, 86.7% female, 53.3% White) were randomly assigned to a 4-week sleep hygiene and stimulus control (SHSC) intervention or an enhanced intervention including technology stimulus control instructions (SHSC-E). Both groups showed improvements in sleep hygiene practices, perceived barriers to stimulus control, sleep quality, general technology usage, and technology usage before bed. However, the SHSC-E group did not have greater improvements compared to SHSC group as hypothesized, which suggests that the combination of sleep hygiene and stimulus control is a robust enough method for reducing self-reported technology usage. A longer intervention period might be necessary to observe the benefits of technology stimulus control procedures.
Edward Bradford Titchener: 3. Psychology as Science: With Wundt at Leipzig
Authors: Evans Rand B.
Published: November 2023

Edward B. Titchener is known to have been a chief advocate of controlled laboratory experiments in psychology in the United States in the field's earliest days. His intensive education as an experimental psychologist took place over 2 years under Wilhelm Wundt's supervision in Leipzig. Wundt was the major figure in the “new psychology” of the time, which indeed emphasized controlled laboratory experiments. This article describes Titchener's transition from Oxford to Leipzig in 1890, the general characteristics of Wundt and his Institute for Experimental Psychology, and the specific experiences that shaped Titchener's approach to psychology. In Leipzig, Titchener learned experimental psychology from courses taught by Wundt, Oswald Külpe, and others, as well as by serving as an experimental subject for others and by conducting his own experiments. By the time Titchener received his doctoral degree and left Leipzig in the summer of 1892, he had begun to drift from Wundt's approaches to psychological experiment, but he was prepared to begin to direct and develop his psychology laboratory at Cornell University.

Authors: Al-wossabi Sami Ali Nasr
Published: November 2023

Instructed SLA research has gained considerable attention due to the widespread interest in the role of instruction in language development. This study critically reviews several influential SLA studies on classroom instruction in second language learning. The aim is to assist teachers in delivering well-informed and relevant instruction to L2 learners to enable them to meet their language learning expectations and participate in real-world practices. The paper examines the focus on form and meaning-based instructions as the most common approaches utilized in language learning settings. It critically evaluates several SLA research findings on L2 classroom instruction and interprets their data using comparisons, assessments, and descriptions. Based on these interpretations, the paper ends with a discussion of pedagogical implications for teaching second language learners, taking into account the learning mechanisms employed by learners, and how teachers, via effective instructions, can use these mechanisms to facilitate successful L2 learning.
From Novel to Film: A Study of Memory, Illness, and Symbols in All the Bright Places in Light of Eneste’s Ecranisation Theory
Authors: T Deepika , R Bhuvaneswari
Published: November 2023

A person's psyche is composed of three distinct yet related components: memory, illness, and symbols. The American teen romance film All the Bright Places (2020b) is based on the Jennifer Niven novel of the same name and is available to stream on Netflix. The term ‘adaptation’ describes how books, stories, and comics are interpreted, reworked, and reimagined for use in movies, music, video games, and webcomics. It has an intertextual and reciprocal structure. The narrative of Theodore Finch’s and Violet Markey’s mental illness and suicidality is the focus of Jenifer Niven's young adult book All the Bright Places (2015a). As it's vital to maintain screentime, dramatic effect, and censorship, sequences are frequently altered and excluded in Adaptation. These changes are often not well received by the audience. It was also widely criticised that Brett Haley's adaptation of the book, All the Bright Places (2020b), failed to do the novel justice. The objective of the investigation is to ascertain the modifications implemented in the film and the rationale behind them. Through the lens of Eneste's Ecranisation theory, this study explores the moments that are included and excluded from the movie All the Bright Places (2020b). The three steps in the Ecranisation theory are reduction, variation, and addition. This paper delves into the memory shared by the characters, the portrayal of their illness and the use of symbolism in both the novel and the film. The researcher identifies that the ecranised contents in the film shift the focus from Finch and Violet’s struggle with suicidality to their love story. This shift portrays the film and the story in a lighter way. It also aids the director in preventing the film from being an example of the Werther effect, the phenomenon of suicide contagion.

Published: November 2023

Teacher motivation is an essential element to teaching effectiveness in any context. In Bangladesh, teacher motivation at the tertiary level also plays a pivotal role and is considered one of the key determinants in the teaching and learning process. Unfortunately, teacher's motivation has not received much attention from educational researchers or policymakers yet. This study investigates the external factors affecting teacher motivation more specifically teacher in-service motivation to teaching effectiveness at the tertiary level in Bangladsh. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods have been employed as the main techniques to gather information for the study. To collect data, a 12-item questionnaire survey content, and One-on-One interviews were applied. A total of 52 academics teaching undergraduates and postgraduates participated in the questionnaire survey and 7 teachers were interviewed in the study. After analyzing the data, the study finds several factors tremendously affecting teachers' motivation and eventually teachers' performance and effectiveness. It also reveals that good pay or salary, job security, opportunity of systematic academic promotion and up-gradation, less workload and stress, adequate teacher education and professional development, and congenial local and central administrative policy prompt teachers to be more professional and committed to teaching and learning procedures. Conversely, low pay, job insecurity, lack of professional development and promotion, overwork and stress and failure to maintain a professional environment directly demotivate teachers to be committed and effective to teaching. Therefore, teacher's in-service motivation needs to be addressed properly as it is found as one of the most crucial factors that determines the teacher's role to teaching effectiveness at the tertiary level of education in Bangladesh.

Published: November 2023

Drawing on Jeffries’ Critical Stylistics Analysis, the current study was done on the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 commentaries to reveal the discursive strategies used by the commentators that contribute to the ideological themes embedded in their commentaries. Six matches from the tournament were recorded and transcribed. The commentaries were then analysed using Jeffries' Critical Stylistics Analysis toolkits called textual-conceptual functions. Though not prominent, the findings reveal traces of ideologies of representation of races and religion found in the commentaries only by using six out ten Jeffries’ textual-conceptual functions toolkits. The current study helps sports commentators to comprehend how commentaries influence viewers’ perceptions of sports and the world around us. The current study adds to the literature on ideological frameworks to determine distinct frameworks employed in sports commentary. This could be useful for scholars interested in the relationship between language and ideology, as it could give them an excellent grasp of how these frameworks are employed to develop and maintain specific worldviews.

Introduction and adoption of innovations in horticultural production systems
Authors: Drottberger Annie
Published: November 2023

Horticultural production occurs in various production systems, dominated by greenhouse and open-field production. During the last decade, alternative production systems with more advanced technologies, such as LED lighting and artificial intelligence, have started to appear, e.g., plant factories with artificial lighting. This opens up new opportunities where increased attention from venture capitalists and investors highlights food-tech as an innovative field of interest. Technological development can also accelerate possibilities, mainly for firms producing in greenhouses, if they can adopt relevant knowledge and innovations from other production systems. Another aspect is the increased interest in start-up initiatives and businesses in urban settings, e.g., urban farming, vertical farming, aquaponics, or rooftop greenhouses, to mention a few models. In parallel, low-tech initiatives are developing, e.g., market gardening and small-scale artisan production, which can also be important niches for the sustainable production of vegetables. The innovative production systems often use alternative food networks and different business models, e.g., Community Supported Agriculture or Product Service Systems, often with shorter supply chains. These different initiatives are also associated with positive movements influencing society and increasing consumers’ awareness of sustainable food production. However, the fact that new actors are entering the market could also create tensions between urban and rural contexts due to the different backgrounds of business owners. This is further accelerated by the different conditions for the firms, e.g., depending on support and policies from the innovation system and society in general.
The Empreinte in Sculpture and Printmaking
Authors: Van der Merwe Jacques
Published: November 2023

My personal experiences of living and working in Australia as an artist and immigrant from South Africa have made me aware of the importance of memories. The methodologies I apply in my art practice support the idea of lost or faded memories. Some memories are glimpses, faded and fractured, while others stretch out and become thin and complex like silkworm threads.  

Georges Didi-Huberman's empreinte almost acts like a trace or imprint. It is omnipresent, leaving dents and marks on surfaces and objects from the beginning of time. The empreinte finds its origins through contact and movement, impacting the natural transference of shape or form from one plain or surface to the next as an operational chain that forms part of our visual experience. In relation to the empreinte, I will argue that there are parallels between my sculptural work Selfportret ||Self-portrait (Suspense) and that of printmaking. 

The mould and the press function as storage for memories; it reflects the artist’s past actions, feelings, and thoughts from the negative shape into a positive empreinte. Forms and surface textures exist as empreintes on the surface of the mould or substrate.  The empreinte always requires contact.  

I utilise the empreinte throughout my sculptural practice as a tool to signify the fading of memory. The notion of vague memories and the empreinte supports my practice-based methodology of exploring form and visual imagery through various mediums. When I place a medium into a mould, I need to visualise how the positive cast will appear once de-moulded. This inverted or upside-down thinking is akin to that used for printmaking. This paper will investigate the close interrelationship between my sculptural practice and printmaking.

Authors: de Oliveira Neves Fábio , Gomes Salgado Eduardo , Arnoni Occhiutto Arthur , Augusto Zorel José , Benedito Pereira Ernandes
Published: November 2023

The industrial sector is one of the major energy consumers and polluters in emerging countries. With the great demand for a maximum reduction of gas emissions that aggravate the increase in Earth temperature, alternative sources of energy are being adapted for use in the industrial sector, such as bioenergy. Along with methodologies that ease implementation and use, several decision-making methods are currently under development to provide industrial managers with better scenario alternatives for the implementation of bioenergetic factors. This work aims to develop a decision-making method for the use and exploitation of bioenergy in Brazil, considering the initial assessment of sustainability and the implementation of technologies that compose the process of electricity generation through bioenergy. Fuzzy logic was used as the model development structure. It was used to analyze three case studies of manufacturing companies. As a result, there is an applicability of the method through government subsidies, regionalization of biomass for energy generation, and efforts in adapting and maintaining equipment for energy conversion with a strong driver of reduction of environmental impacts. This proposal, in addition to being useful for the industrial sector, helps the government sector with the reduction of energy, taking knowledge beyond the university using a new structured method, environmentally conscious, in this emerging area.
Elements of Environmental Education, Curriculum and Teacher’s Perspective: A Review
Authors: Busi Ramesh , Gandipilli Gaddeyya , Kuramana Subhashini
Published: November 2023

Environmental Education is a process that allows individuals to explore environmental issues, engage in problem solving and take action to improve the environment. As a result, individuals develop a deeper understanding of environmental issues and have the skills to make informed and responsible decisions. Environmental Education does not advocate a particular view point or course of action. Rather, it teaches individuals how to weigh various sides of an issue through critical thinking; and it enhances their own problem-solving and decision-making skills. Environmental Education helps to recognize values and clarify concepts relating to environment. It develops skills and attitudes necessary to understand and appreciate the inter relatedness of man, his culture and his biophysical surroundings. It helps to provide practice in decision making and self formulation of a code of behavior about issues concerning quality environment. Environmental Education helps to develop in the people awareness, concern and knowledge of the environment and learn to use this understanding to preserve, conserve and utilize the environment in a sustainable manner for the benefit of present and future generations. The Tbilisi Declaration set up recommendations for the broader application of Environmental Education in formal and non-formal education. It is the responsibility of Teacher Education Institutions to evolve the kind of methodology suitable for teaching Environmental Education in school programme and to work out strategies for involving students in conservation and regeneration of environment. Teachers play a crucial role in forming and establishing right attitudes and values that are important to develop environmentally responsible behavior among their students. Developing a positive attitude and awareness among the students on environmental issues has been thought of an effective strategy for taking care of environment for the long term. Further, these young people will be the citizens, leaders and policy makers in future societies. The current review illuminates a broad perspective on environmental education in the context of elements of environmental education, curriculum and the role of teacher’s to promote environmental education effectively.

Authors: Muhammadi Subhanullah , Dariz Karima , Ahmadzai Mohammad Yousaf
Published: November 2023

The essence of this research is to reveal that the impacts of the labor force (unemployment and employment) on Afghan women (females) based on educated people have no positive and direct correlation with increasing economic growth in the estimated period of 2020–2022, but women have a U shape or envelope that contributes to developing economic growth in the long run. Though the study tested the labor force total number of females per cent, the labor force females of Afghanistan have no impact on increasing the total real GDP market price of Afghanistan in 2020-2021-2022 due to the p value being greater than 0.05 or 0.989>0.05; hence, H0 is accepted. As a result, there is not a significant labor force number and labor force females in Afghanistan, as it does not have a crucial impact on economic growth. Economic growth has increased in other sectors such as TOT, exports and imports, etc. Moreover, the intermediate education population per cent of Afghanistan impacts the labor force of male and female members under the working population in Afghanistan in 2020–2021, and the p value is greater than 0.05. It makes sense (0.832>0.05); hence, the null hypothesis is accepted; intermediate and advanced educated people have no impact on under-working-age people in Afghanistan in 2020–2021, but nevertheless, it hasn’t increased the economic growth of Afghanistan in 2020–2021. Otherwise, intermediate- and advanced-educated women percent have no impact on the under-working-age population and do not have a positive impact on economic growth due to the fact that the p value is greater than 0.05. It makes sense (0.832>0.05), hence the null hypothesis is accepted. As a result, the intermediate education population per cent of Afghanistan has no impact on the labor force of males and females under the working population in Afghanistan in 2020–2021. Finally, the study discovered that total real GDP market price and female employees have a moderate correlation in 2019–2020.

Authors: Balasundran Komathy , Yunus Jamal Nordin , Nallaluthan Kesavan , Martin Tulasi
Published: November 2023

In terms of educational management, the WhatsApp application is very popular among the lecturers. Lecturers, on the other hand, were found to be uninterested in using WhatsApp for educational management. The majority of WhatsApp research has focused on students in the context of learning, while this study will focus on educational management among public university lecturers. Before conducting more in-depth research, the goal of this study is to describe the pilot testing method for the proposed model. A pilot study was done to assess the survey questionnaire's applicability and reliability. The data was gathered from 100 Malaysian public university lecturers via an online survey. Before beginning the actual study, the researcher discusses the pilot testing process and methodology that will contribute to the research in this context. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Technology Use (UTAUT) model has been applied to the proposed new model. The results of the pilot study agreed that Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.829 to 0.900 for most of the constructs in the proposed model, indicating that they were reliable.

As you know, the basins of more than 260 of the world's rivers are divided between two or more countries. River basins are home to about 40% of the world's population, occupy approximately half of the land surface, and account for about 60% of the globe's fresh water. Therefore, in modern times, one of the important regional and international problems is the establishment of friendly relations between the countries of transboundary river basins, the rational use of transboundary water resources, the correct distribution of water between countries, the resolution of conflicts in the use of transboundary water resources and other similar issues. The Aral Sea basin has two large transboundary rivers that are used by all countries in the region. Thus, this article examines the role of reservoirs in the regulation of water resources and their effective use in the process of climate change. In particular, this article analyzes the role of the Tajik Sea reservoir in regulating river flow, sedimentation of pollutants in river water and a decrease in the degree of salinity, as well as the impact on the formation of the climate of adjacent areas and use in various industries.
