Authors: Rosiana Agnes Andryani
Published: June 2024

This study aims to describe the strategy of translating metaphors in the novel “L'Etranger” into the Javanese “Wong Njaba” by Albert Camus. Metaphor is an expression that is often found in literary works. In the translation process, the translation of metaphors is one of the problems that are often encountered by translators, therefore a strategy in the translation of metaphors is absolutely necessary so that the reader can properly capture the message and impression that the author wants to convey. The data source used is the novel “L'Etranger” and its translation, “Wong Njaba”. The data used are metaphorical expressions and their translations. The data collection method used in this study is simak with techniques of catat. The results show that the metaphor translation strategy used by the translator is that (Source Language) SL metaphor is translated into the same metaphor in (target Language) TL, metaphor in SL is translated into simile in TL, SL metaphor is translated become different metaphors in SL but have the same meaning, and metaphors in SL which are translated into non-metaphorical expressions.

Authors:   , Shauri Suleiman
Published: June 2024

The potential shift of significant causes of febrile illnesses from malaria to non-malarial febrile illnesses, including arboviral diseases such as Chikungunya and Dengue, is of great concern. Two cross sectional studies were conducted at Mnazi mmoja in Zanzibar and Temeke hospital in Dar es Salaam Tanzania. The first study assessed the prevalence, knowledge, and practices regarding Chikungunya and Dengue, among individuals attending outpatient departments at Mnazi mmoja in Zanzibar and Temeke hospital in Dar es Salaam Tanzania. The second study involved serological testing of blood samples from the blood bank at Temeke Referral Hospital in Dar es Salaam and the National Blood Bank Unit in Zanzibar was conducted. Seropositive IgM samples from Temeke hospital in Dar es Salaam were 3/101 (2.97%) for Chikungunya and 1/101 (0.9%) for Dengue, while samples from Zanzibar were all IgM negative for both viruses. Chikungunya IgG seropositivity was significantly higher (p≤0.05) in Temeke hospital in Dar es Salaam 21/101 (21.2%) than Zanzibar 22/180 (12.2%). There was no significant difference in Dengue IgG seropositivity between Temeke hospital in Dar es Salaam 44/101 (43.5%) and Zanzibar 68/180 (37.8%). A total of 332 patients were recruited through a systematic random sampling technique from Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam hospitals. Participants from Dar-es-Salaam had demonstrated lower preventive practices as compared to those from Zanzibar. Only 10.2% of all participants had high knowledge of Dengue and Chikungunya, while only 4.5% were aware of preventive practices. Our results show continuing exposure of Dengue and Chikungunya virus in Tanzania, it associates with low awareness and poor preventive practices. If steps are not taken, may act as a template for big outbreaks when an appropriate condition occurs. Therefore the inclusion of Dengue and Chikungunya in active surveillance program is proposed.

Published: June 2024

Gout is caused by several things, one of which is the consumption of foods high in purine, choosing the right food menu for all foods consumed is an obligation... apart from this, there are various other factors that can increase the risk of this disease, namely increasing age and male gender, family health history, obesity, consumption of certain medications, certain medical conditions, unhealthy lifestyles and injuries due to surgery. The low priority given by health services to non-communicable diseases and inadequate public knowledge. Gout is a public health problem in Indonesia and is still not fully addressed. Knowledge and assistance regarding the right food to consume is a solution in overcoming this problem. For this reason, the authors in this study developed an expert system as a reference for gout risk to improve healthy lifestyle patterns. This system was developed with 2 benefits, namely getting recommendations and monitoring uric acid levels. As a result of the tests carried out, it is known that from a health practitioner's point of view, the system developed is suitable for use to accompany prevention and monitoring activities for gout sufferers and the information regarding the patient's dietary history presented by the system can be used as evaluation material during control. Users strongly agree with the system created due to lack of knowledge and lack of control in consuming foods that cause gout.

Authors: Pilotos Jason , Bualan Yam Nesa
Published: June 2024

This study aimed to identify, characterize, and evaluate the biodiversity of shrimp-associated species in abandoned shrimp ponds, specifically assessing the trophic levels of bycatch species in Barangay Dahican, Mati City. Using a scoop net, researchers collected macrobenthic samples from Maitum, Lahusan, and Butuasan, finding 1,528 individuals with varying species compositions namely: Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia), Coenobita cavipes (Land hermit crab), Canarium labiatum (Plicate conch), Rochia nilotica (Commercial top), Clithon oualaniense (Guamanian nerite), Cerithium coralium (Coral cerith), and Callinectes sapidus (Blue crab). Cerithium coralium was the most abundant species with 70% relative abundance, followed by Clithon oualaniense, with 29%. In contrast, the least abundant species were the Oreochromis niloticus and Canarium labiatum, with 1% relative abundance. Moreover, biodiversity indices revealed that Lahusan 1 (H' = 0.731; D=0.46) and Butuasan (H' = 0.714; D = 0.5) had higher biodiversity, whereas Lahusan 2 had the lowest (H' = 0.318; D = 0.15). In contrast, Lahusan 2 appeared to be the least diverse (H' = 0.318; D = 0.15). There were significant differences in terms of species abundance (df = 6, MS = 34.18, F = 6.02, P = 0.000) and none in terms of site locations (df = 3, MS = 18.71, F=2.08, P= 0.188). The study results showed that these associated species were mainly benthic and came from the nearby environment.  Providing good management for the abandoned shrimp ponds in the area could mean reverting them to their original state to provide a habitat for other organisms.

Shakespeare Tragedy, Comedy and Historical Play
Authors: Gamage Swarnananda
Published: June 2024

This particular research paper sheds light on common recognizable characteristics of Shakespeare tragedy, comedy and historical play. Shakespeare, the dramatist of all time, brought tragedy and comedy developed by classic Greek dramatists: Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides and Aristophanes to a new level in the Elizabeth period. Within his theatre life which expands for 22 years, he produced ten tragedies, seventeen comedies and ten historic plays, which are staged with diverse modification all over the world, being translated to almost all the languages that are spoken in very nook and corner in the world. Shakespeare whom quoted next to the Bible is undoubtedly a social reality; his tragedy, comedy and historical plays have become the most timeless and placeless plays which touch the hearts of the audiences irrespective of social political and geographical differences. His tragedy showcases the downfall of the hero/heroine of high socio standing due to a tragic flaw, which finally causes the death of the protagonist either by being killed or committing suicide. His comedy is much more different from one another, although almost all of then end in poetic justice. His historical plays are based on the English history from 12th century to 16th century (from 1399 to 1485) and actual kings who ruled Great Britain in the particular period. However, Shakespeare added more dramatic effects into these historical plays constantly reminding the fact that he is not a historian yet a dramatist.

Authors: Lakshani K.W.I. , Sharmilan Tharaga
Published: June 2024

By 2030, the biscuit industry may go global due to advancements in electronic tools like eNose, eTongue, and eVision. This shift is governed by precision, productiveness, and regulatory compliance. Ultimately, the automation increase is driven by this consequence. This article will critically look at the issues and benefits arising within the biscuit production field after the shift towards the use of electronic control systems. It analyses the present situation and figures out the ineffectiveness on the part of conventional tools in solving the problem as it currently exists and shows how electronic instruments can be better in aiding visual and sensory inspections. While there have been remarkable achievements, these are persisting, of course, and they include high investment costs, specific skills requirements, and less flexibility when adapting to different production conditions. Without thorough research and development, the challenges in the production of the electronic control systems will still stand and no technology will be created to resolve the problems of the system. This study further reaffirms the need for the invention of modern and improved quality control processes for biscuit manufacturing plants. Through identifying previous methods and approaches and, the advantageous features of each, as well as highlighting shortcomings of current quality control strategies, this paper serves as an effective driving force for the future evolution and further improvement of quality control practices during biscuit production. Comprehensive product evaluation is attended to by employed approaches that analyse future benefits and opportunities as well as drawbacks and risks of the application of electronic quality control systems in the biscuit industry.
STEM Support for Students with Disabilities
Authors: Dillard Bernard L.
Published: June 2024

One of the biggest challenges facing students with disabilities (SWDs) is not aptitude. History has shown that this constituency can thrive in a number of fields, especially if provided the necessary support to navigate such. Rather, the success of SWDs often depends on the level of backing they receive as they pursue success in an array of careers. Specifically, their success in STEM fields is not as farfetched as one might imagine. Although they may have to overcome low expectations of others during their matriculation through their educational journey, they often find their STEM identity and belonging via their families and extended student learning communities. Many times, the employment of the arts in STEM instruction serves as a mental-scaffolding agent for the SWD population, creating the bridge necessary to help them engage successfully within STEM spheres. Implications for teachers and school leaders are various. From incorporating instructional practices drawing from a theory of universal design for learning to harnessing support from colleagues within social media circles, strategies that support SWDs as they pursue STEM careers carry monumental weight and help to level the playing field in their quest to excel therein.

Authors: Gesa Newton F. , Ahemen I. , Amah A. N. , Onojah A. D.
Published: June 2024

LM35 temperature sensor is a widely used 3-terminal sensor known for its precise temperature measurement capabilities without the need for external calibration circuitry. With a sensitivity of 10mV/°C, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, with an error margin of 0.5°C. This paper presents the development and testing of a logger-based digital thermometer using LM35 sensor, integrated with a dsPIC30F4013 digital signal processing controller, an LCD, a real-time clock (DS1307), and other essential components. The methodology involves the analysis of the sensor's sensitivity and its response under both stress and non-stress temperature conditions. The findings indicate that the sensor's output closely follows the theoretical sensitivity, with a negligible offset, ensuring accurate temperature measurements. Comparative analysis with a standard laboratory thermometer suggests that the digital sensor provides superior precision, with an error margin of ±0.01°C. The results confirm LM35's suitability for accurate ambient temperature monitoring and validation of environmental temperature fluctuations.

Published: June 2024

Nutrition experts, health educators and enlightenment stake holders have discovered that the dietary supplement market is growing at alarming rate. The rate of consumption of the dietary supplements seems to be increasing on daily basis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of nutritional supplements consumption and the perception of women in all tertiary institutions in Ekiti State, South Western Nigeria. Population for the study consisted of two hundred (200) literate women who were randomly selected from these institutions. 42% of the sample were academic women, while the remaining (58%) women were non-academic. Findings showed that majority of the respondents are of child bearing age, 25% of the women are 50 years and above. Structured questionnaire and interview were used to elicit information from the women. Data collected were analyzed using E-test and Person Product Moment Correlation analysis. Majority (87.5%) of the respondents consume nutritional supplements. Minority (12.5%) did not believe in the consumption of supplements. It is shown that the value of the coefficient of determination indicates that all the predictor variables jointly accounted for 89.9% of the total variance while 10.1% is due to unexplained variance. It was through an interview that some of the women using nutritional supplements revealed that they are not sure of the risks associated with the consumption of the products. There is a need for concerted efforts on the part of nutritionists and health educators to create more nutrition education awareness among people.

Published: June 2024

Morocco's mountainous regions play a crucial role in shaping its precipitation patterns, influencing everything from water resources to agricultural potential. However, accurately mapping precipitation in such complex terrain is challenging for traditional methods. This study proposes a model that incorporates both topographic and geographic features and prevailing weather patterns to create more accurate maps of average annual precipitation across Morocco. What sets this model apart is its ability to determine the direction of prevailing weather circulation and incorporate geographic and topographic parameters that influence precipitation patterns. Using data from 1965 to 2010, the model estimates an average annual rainfall of 206.4 mm, equivalent to 146.6 billion cubic meters per year, with a terrain aspect deviation to the dominant moisture flux direction set at 280 degrees. This approach is particularly valuable in regions with limited climate data networks, as it leverages existing information to fill in the gaps. By providing more accurate precipitation maps, this model can be a valuable tool for environmental modeling, water resource management, and agricultural planning in Morocco.

Published: June 2024

The study investigated the effect of standardization of mock advanced level mathematics scores on students’ grades in Douala IV Municipality in the Littoral Region of Cameroon. Four specific research questions and one hypothesis guided the study. The study used the ex-post facto design since the data collected already existed in the various schools. A sample of 300 students’ scores were randomly sampled from three institutions. The instrument used was the raw mock scores of the students who wrote the Littoral Mathematics Teacher Association (LIMTA) mock in the 2022/2023 academic year. Mean scores, standard deviations, Z-scores and T-scores were used to describe the data while the independent T-test was used to test the mean difference between the raw scores and the transformed scores. The results showed that students’ academic performance greatly improved when their raw scores were standardized. There was also significant difference between the standardization of mock advanced level mathematics scores and the raw scores implying that students’ grades improve when raw scores are standardized. Based on these findings, it was recommended that national examination bodies like the GCE and BAC boards should be standardizing student scores so that the academic performance of the students would improve. Also, seminars should be organized for teachers to improve on their scoring and grading skills.
Using Ant Colony Optimization Method to Detect Dominant Points
Authors: Wu Wen-Yen , Cheng Ming-Shun
Published: June 2024

This paper uses the ant colony optimization method to detect dominant points. It develops a dominant point detection system for closed target images with simple backgrounds. The process is to perform image preprocessing on the captured object images, then perform object contour tracking and breakpoint detection, and finally use the ant colony optimization method to detect the object's dominant points. In such problems, ant colony calculus is applied to such problems by first defining a fitness value. In addition, three different hybrid strategies, including the minimum error method, the maximum distance method, and the random selection method, were also experimentally compared. Experimental results show that the used hybrid strategy can improve the computational efficiency of all three types of problems.
Identity, Power and Group Formation in Archaic Macedonia (600-400 BC)
Authors: Giamakis Christos
Published: June 2024

The ﬁrst ever large-scale synthesis on identity and social dynamics across archaic Macedonia (600-400 BC), Christos Giamakis’s book provides a detailed narrative exploring the role of power as displayed through material culture in the formation of group identities across the region. Giamakis focuses on data from nine cemeteries in the region combining multiple datasets including grave goods, osteological evidence, burial rites, tomb types and the organisation of the cemetery space in order to explore both inter- and intra-site competition that led to the emergence of diﬀerent group identities across the region. By doing so, he proposes a new theoretical framework for the study of the region as an alternative to past, ethnicity-based, approaches. Identity, Power and Group Formation in Archaic Macedonia (600-400 BC) encourages the reader to explore the ways in which social inequalities, power dynamics and social interactions all aﬀect the potency of speciﬁc identities at the expense of others. The present monograph will be of great interest to researchers working on ancient Macedonia and the wider ancient Greek world but also to scholars interested in power dynamics and identity formation in other parts of the ancient Mediterranean.

Authors: Ochoa-Cervantes Azucena , Solís Galán María Gloria , Mayor Paredes Domingo
Published: June 2024

Participation is a multidimensional concept frequently used in educational discourse, in which it acquires various meanings arising from the aspects involved in its definition. It is considered the backbone of the Service-Learning (SL) pedagogical proposal. Therefore, it is important to inquire about its conception and identify the type of participation promoted by university teachers in SL projects. To achieve these objectives, a qualitative study with an exploratory and interpretative scope was designed. The instrument used to collect the information was an in-depth interview that was applied to 18 teachers from universities in Spain and Mexico. The results show that teachers' conceptions are limited due to institutional obstacles, among others. It was found there are contradictions in SL practices, on the one hand, in recognizing the importance of active participation and, on the other hand, in promoting only limited participation. These contradictions allow us to investigate the dimensions that are influencing the participation of students and teachers in SL practices.

La participación es un concepto multidimensional usado frecuentemente en el discurso educativo, en el que adquiere diversos significados a partir de los aspectos que involucra su definición. Se considera como un eje vertebrador en la propuesta pedagógica de Aprendizaje-Servicio (ApS). Por lo anterior, resulta relevante indagar sobre su concepción e identificar el tipo de participación que promueve el profesorado universitario en los proyectos de ApS que implementa. Para alcanzar estos objetivos, se diseñó un estudio cualitativo con alcance exploratorio e interpretativo. El instrumento para recopilar la información fue una entrevista en profundidad que se aplicó a 18 docentes pertenecientes a universidades de España y México. Los resultados muestran que las concepciones del profesorado son limitadas debido, entre otras cuestiones, a obstáculos institucionales. Se constató que en las prácticas de ApS, existen contradicciones, por un lado, al reconocer la importancia de la participación activa y, por otro, promueven una participación limitada. Estas contradicciones permiten indagar en las dimensiones que están influyendo en la participación del alumnado y profesorado en las prácticas de ApS.

Authors: Soćko Joanna
Published: June 2024

This article analyzes the category of genius loci in the context of contemporary plant studies. It aims to restore the ancient term’s connotations related to nature and to use the idea of the “soul of a place” to rethink local, site-specific interspecies relations. The author reinterprets the notion of “soul” and conducts a comparative analysis of Michael Marder’s Plant-Thinking and Tadeusz Sławek’s essays on genius loci, which helps to outline the similarities and differences between the post-phenomenological approach of the authors in question and New-Materialist accounts of relationality. Key-words: genius loci, plant studies, interspecies, soul of plants, soul of place, nature of brownfields

Authors: Herczyńska Sara
Published: June 2024

This article deals with exhibitions in house-museums. The author focuses on a phenomenon peculiar to such establishments: the ambiguous authenticity of the objects on display. The primary example is the hoof of Kasztanka exhibited in the manor house “Milusin” belonging to the complex of the Józef Piłsudski Museum in Sulejówek. Within the logic of the exhibition, the hoof is simultaneously both authentic and not. To explain this phenomenon, the author uses Tom Selwyn’s theory, especially his anthropological analysis of the category of authenticity. The second part of the article relates this issue to the controversy surrounding the striped uniform from the museum commemorating Maximilian Maria Kolbe. Key-words: phantasmal exhibits, house-museum, biographical museum, authenticity

Referring to the notion of parenesis, which is rooted in culture, as well as more recent phenomena from the borderline between literary studies and other disciplines, the author points out the operational capacity of such categories as the eco-regional novel and, above all, the eco-parenetic novel. The work discussed more extensively in the article, Dom Oriona [Orion’s House] by Julia Fiedorczuk, serves as an example of this type of novel. Key-words: ecoparaenesis, ecocritical regionalism, literary studies, Julia Fiedorczuk
Quantum Intelligence in Beyond 5G Networks: Current Progress, and Open Avenues
Authors: Kang Byeong-Gwon , Nam Yunyoung
Published: June 2024

The emergence of fifth-generation (5G) wireless technologies leads to enlarging network complexity as a result of massive data generation, exhaustive operating costs, time, energy, and the burdens of planning and management. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been demonstrated to have a vital role in improving data analytics and decision-making in massive 5G networks. On the other hand, Quantum Computing is an evolving technology for handling exponential expansion in the data dimensions and calculating linear algebra quicker and more proficiently than traditional computers implying reduced computational costs and energy consumption. The unification between these disciplines engenders the concept of “Quantum Intelligence", which is an innovative and quite promising field with the possibility of unbounded capabilities for the 5G network. Beyond centralized learning, our discussions extend to debate the potentials of quantum intelligence to improve the distributed (federated) learning scenarios over several quantum computers, aiming to drastically enhance computational efficiency and energy consumption. Multiple simulation experiments are performed to evaluate and compare the performance of quantum intelligence on classical and quantum datasets. Finally, this article outlines the major technical and research challenges and open problems for future research on quantum intelligence in 5G wireless networks.
Mixed Marriages in Indonesia and Citizenship Issues: a Call for Dual Citizenship Reform For Children From Mixed Marriages
Authors: Soesetyo Setiawati
Published: June 2024

Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage Article 57 defines mixed marriages as marriage between two persons who in Indonesia are subject to different laws, due to differences in citizenship and one of the parties is a foreign national and one of the parties is an Indonesian national. While mixed marriages have occurred widely in Indonesia involving two people of different origins, religious beliefs, or ethics, the issue of citizenship arises when married couples involve two people of different nationalities. Some countries in the world allow instant citizenship by marriage. The State Republic of Indonesia acknowledges single citizenship under Law No. 12 of 2006 concerning Citizenship. The main idea of this journal is to highlight the issues of citizenship of offspring from mixed marriages. While children of mixed marriages may have dual citizenship until the age of 18, what are the implications for their citizenship in the future? In the context of the state, how does the government see this as the nation’s future generation?

In social life, children's development tends to be in the spotlight because children are predicted to be the next generation who are the hopes of parents, families, religion, and even the state. Concerns about a child's future arise when a child comes into conflict with the law due to a criminal act he or she has committed and is serving a prison term. However, these concerns were dispelled by the presence of legislation which ensured that this country paid more attention to its human resources. This research aims to produce a service based on a humanistic approach carried out by correctional officers for assisted children, where later this service can become a forum for developing children during their criminal period as well as preparing children for a better life after the criminal process is completed. This study used qualitative research methods. By taking a humanistic concept which refers to basic needs, security needs, social and affection needs as well as self-actualization needs which will later be applied to the Class IIA Bengkulu Special Development Institute for Children.
