Fuel Control Systems for Planetary Transmission Vehicles: A Contribution to the LPG-fueled Vehicles Community
Authors: Munahar Suroto , Purnomo Bagiyo Condro , Köten Hasan
Published: August 2021

The bi-fuel system vehicle (gasoline/LPG) has been developed for a long time because it has the ability to switch fuels, both built as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or as a modified vehicle. However, on vehicles with planetary automatic transmissions, additional control systems are needed to produce optimal performance, both on gasoline and LPG operations, especially on uphill roads. Old vehicles with planetary automatic transmissions are not equipped with road slope angle sensors, so on uphill roads and the driver has not mastered road conditions, the engine tends to stop suddenly. Therefore, this study aims to develop a fuel control system (LPG operation) on a planetary automatic transmission to control gear shifts based on the level of the road slope. A simulation with MATLAB Simulink we used to create a control system, with objective function and constraint defined. As a result, the control system can recognize the level of the road slope to control the speed gear shift. This control system is promising and reliable to be implemented in real conditions.

Wolf and eclecticism: from the concept of an open system to systematic intelligence
Authors:   I. Mechnikov Odessa National University, Secundant Sergii
Published: August 2021

The paper (1) provides a comparative analysis of the programs of reforms of philosophy developed by Christian Wolff and the members of the Eclecticist school; (2) it reveals the critical foundations of the concepts of the system by both schools and (3) assesses the prospects of their further development. Although Wolff is often inconsistent, nevertheless, he is largely closer to Descartes and Leibniz, and therefore to the Platonic tradition. The Eclecticists, on the other hand, are closer to the Peripatetic tradition, and therefore to empiricism. From the point of view of the history of philosophical methodology, Wolff’s program combines Cartesianism and the German tradition of methodical thinking (J. Jung, E. Weigel and Leibniz), which both were oriented towards mathematics. The Eclecticists, on the other hand, used the dialectical model, which they modernized by introducing the principle of historicism and applying it to the history of philosophy. When the program of the Eclecticists was guided by the critical selection of knowledge by members of the “scientific community” and the concept of an open system, Wolff’s synthesis of knowledge is carried out on the basis of a rigorous method. He puts forward a fundamentally new idea of a universal system based on new normative requirements for the system-forming principle, namely, it must be fundamental, generally valid and immanent in the system of knowledge. Wolff does not reject the critical program of the Eclecticists. In debates with them, he tries to prove that the successful implementation of their program is possible only if there is a basic system of truths and a reliable method. In his treatise On the Difference Between Systematic and Non-systematic Intellect, Wolff laid the foundation of “systematic eclecticism” and “speculative criticism”, which was substantiated in the works by “classics of German idealism”, primarily by C. L. Reinhold and Hegel.

THE CONCEPTION OF LᾹ MA'BŪDA IN TASAWUF; A QURANIC INTERPRETATION
Authors: Prasetia Senata Adi , Najiyah Siti Firqo
Published: August 2021

This article aimed to explore the concept of lā ma'būda from the Sufistic interpretation perspective. Lā ma'būda was one of the basic Sufism maqamat that must be passed by the salik therefore they can wuṣūl ilallāh (reach to Allah). This maqāmāt was the keyword in tasawwuf and most of tarekat developed in Indonesia, such as the qadīriyah, syadhiliyah, naqshabandiyah, shattariyah and so on. Lā ma'būda in the tarekat was defined as the activity of self-purification (tazkiyah al-nafs) from all materialism forms, hence he is able to purify his monotheism only to Allah. In the Sufistic interpretation perspective, lā ma'būda was interpreted as ‘nothing is worshiped except Allah’. This interpretation was similar with the terms of Syarī'a in the worshipping process and takhallī in the Sufi maqāmāt. Lā ma'būda or syarī'a or takhallī was the initial stage for the salik to wuṣūl ilallāh. This maqāmāt required an effort to purify oneself from all forms of bad behavior (takhallī) and adorn oneself with all praiseworthy qualities (taḥallī)

Published: August 2021

Microbiome studies have shown alterations in bacterial communities in the state of many diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, metabolic disorders, autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. Chronic inflammation is a common promoter of many of these pathological processes. Shifting in the microbial diversity is also known as dysbiosis. Dysbiosis, increased detrimental bacterial products, decreased favorable microbial metabolites, interrupted tissue barriers, and bacterial translocation cause excessive immune response and inflammation. Several mechanisms play a role to maintain intestinal homeostasis by limiting bacterial translocation from the intestinal lumen into the lamina propria. Among these mechanisms, most importantly, the mucosal barrier that consists of the antimicrobial peptides, mucus, and immunoglobulin A is fundamental to protect epithelial barrier integrity to reduce the excessive immune response. Moreover, recognizing bacteria and metabolites through receptors results in T cell regulation and immune modulation, which is the keystone of the controlled immune response. This review summarizes the anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory mechanisms driven by gastrointestinal microbiota, and it also highlights the recent approaches, including epigenetics and precision medicine.

Authors: Sudin  , Budiarto Yohanes
Published: August 2021

Work is a means for man to fulfill their needs. However, from the positive psychology point of view, work is more than to fulfill the needs but beyond that reason. Work experiences provide added value to man’s lives and societal growth. Nightlife industries are hardly researched even though these industries have been growing vastly. Workers in these areas are similar to other workers from different types of industries in that they make meaning of their work and experience job satisfaction and quality of their work-life. This research aimed at testing the contribution of the quality of work-life and meaningful work toward job satisfaction of female nightlife business workers. Path analysis using PLS-SEM shows that the job satisfaction of nightlife workers is predicted by their meaningful work and quality of work life. In this study, meaningful work acts as a mediator in the relationship between quality of work-life and job satisfaction.

Objective: Cognitive theories and research have focused on the relationship between emotions, particularly anxiety, and the positive symptoms of psychosis. The aim of this study, based on Beck’s cognitive theory, was to compare dysfunctional attitudes and cognitive insight between patients with anxiety disorders and those with delusion. Methods: The study sample consisted of 90 participants in 3 groups (anxiety=30, delusion=30, healthy=30). The study subjects were interviewed using Structured Clinical Interview (SCID-I) for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV). Then, they completed Beck Anxiety Inventory (BDI), Peters et al.’s Delusions Inventory (PDI), General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28), Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale-26 (DAS-26), and Beck Cognitive Insight Scale (BCIS). Results: The present research results indicated that anxiety and delusion groups presented significantly greater dysfunctional attitudes than the healthy subjects (P<0.001); however, there was no significant difference between the clinical groups. The anxiety group had significantly higher cognitive insight than the delusional (P<0.05) and normal groups (P<0.01); however, there was no significant difference between the last two groups. Conclusion: Dysfunctional attitudes can be considered as a common aspect and cognitive insight as a differentiating aspect of anxiety and psychosis.

Authors: Guessabi Fatiha
Published: August 2021

An increasing number of contributions have appeared in recent years on culturally loaded words. This translation needs familiarity with cultural, linguistic and semantic features. Some news is full of culturally loaded words, strange terms and one of them is the religious or in general term ‘political words’ which play a key role in journalism translation through times. The cultural terms in journalism translation are definitely difficult and controversial to some journalist translators. This difficulty maybe because of the differences between different cultures, religions, ideologies, and beliefs. Translation of political writing or journalistic article needs great cultural familiarity with L1 and L2  and the targets receivers by the translator. Therefore; effective methods were provided to solve culture-bound problems in journalism translation from Arabic into English.

This article suggests an article from CNN News translated into Arabic entitles“ Islamists Take Foreign Hostages in Attack on Algerian Oil Field” will be taken as a case study. The researcher applies some examples in the languages of English and Arabic to make the statements more clear. The main objective of this present paper is to show the problem of culturally loaded words in journalistic writing and explain different translations used in this article from English to Arabic. After analyzing all the samples, it has been also determined that the ideologies and politics influence the way used in journalistic translation which means that the journalist translator is not free but under the censorship of CNN Agency. Moreover; in this paper, the various cultural words must be translated in their own context in order to establish their significance when translated into another language and culture and the target audiences and amateurs must be convinced of this type of translation.

EARLY CHILDHOOD SCIENCE EDUCATION: STATE OF THE ART AND PERSPECTIVES
Authors: Ravanis Konstantinos
Published: August 2021

The last twenty-five years have seen an increase in the development of an area of educational research and implementation which is known internationally as Early Childhood Science Education. In fact, this is a broad framework within which different theoretical trends coexist with corresponding research orientations and fields of teaching applications. These trends converge in an effort to study the mechanisms of initiation of children aged 4-8 years into the properties of the materials and objects and into the phenomena and concepts of Natural Sciences. When the first relevant efforts began to take shape, valid questions were raised as to whether the systematic approach to Natural Sciences at such an early age was desirable, possible and feasible.

Modern educational methods emphasize the necessity to transfer knowledge instead of data or information within the educational process. Thus it is important to the educational texts supporting the educational process contain knowledge in a particular textual representation. But it is not trivial to decide whether the particular piece of text contain knowledge or not. The solution is to measure the similarity between the particular text structure and a typical structure of a knowledge-designed text. This research aims at analysing the classification ability of three commonly-used classification techniques: artificial neural networks (ANNs), classification and regression trees (CARTs) and decision trees (bigMLs) to separate texts or text fragments into two groups. The texts in the first group contain mainly data and information (common texts), the texts in the other group contain knowledge in one of the particular knowledge representations (knowledge texts). The sample of 120 text fragments was used for the analysis. The results show that the ANN techniques are significantly more able to make the right classification of the text than the CART or bigML ones, and evidence good classification abilities. Thus the ANN approach could broaden the set of methods used for evaluation of difficulty of educational texts or textbooks. Keywords: artificial intelligence, classification and regression trees, educational texts, knowledge representation, knowledge unit, production rules, stylometric analysis.

This research was conducted to evaluate the effects of Thinking Maps (TM)-aided Problem-based Learning (PBL) teaching method (TM-PBL) on motivation towards science learning among Fifth Graders. A quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test non-equivalent control group design was employed to measure students’ motivation towards science learning (SMTSL) in motivational factors of self-efficacy, active learning strategies, science learning value, performance goal, achievement goal, and learning environment stimulation. The sample consisted of 270 Fifth Graders aged 11 years old. The students were randomly selected and assigned to TM-PBL (n=90), PBL (n=90), and Conventional Problem Solving (CPS) (n=90) teaching groups. The SMTSL questionnaire was administered prior to and after each intervention. A MANCOVA was conducted on the post-test measures of motivation using the students’ pre-test as the covariates. The result indicated that students taught via the TM-PBL teaching method gained significantly higher levels than their counterparts from the PBL group in Self-efficacy, Active learning strategies, Achievement Goal and Learning environment stimulation. Likewise, students taught via the TM-PBL teaching method gained significantly higher levels than their counterparts from the CPS group in all motivational factors. The findings suggest that the Thinking Maps-aided Problem-Based Learning method is effective in improving motivation towards science learning among Fifth Graders.
Keywords: fifth graders, motivation towards science learning, problem-based learning, thinking maps.

The research aims to find out the effect of project-based science education programme conducted with an active learning on scientific process skills and conceptions of 6-year-old children about nature of science. Quasi-experimental research design including experimental and control groups with pre-test and post-test was implemented. Mixed-method research including qualitative and quantitative data collection tools was adopted. The quantitative data were collected with Preschool Scientific Process Skills Scale while qualitative data were gathered with interviews to define scientific process skills of children. The research includes 26 children in total, 17 were in the experimental group and 9 were in the control group. Project Based Science Education Conducted with Active Learning was carried out on the experimental group and Project Based Science Education was carried out on the control group. The research lasted for 32 weeks between October, 2015 and June, 2016. Scores of scientific process skills about nature of science belonging to students in the experimental group were found to be higher than ones in the control group and the students in the experimental group were found to be more familiar with the related conceptions. The findings prove the positive effect of project-based science education.
Keywords: active learning, nature of science, project based science education, preschool education, scientific process skills.

İş kazası şiddetini etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi hakkında literatürde birçok çalışmaya rastlanmıştır. Ancak çok az sayıdaki çalışmada iklimsel faktörlerin, iş kaza şiddeti üzerine etkisinin araştırıldığı görülmüştür. Bu çalışmada genel faktörlere ek olarak iklimsel faktörlerden ısı, nem, rüzgâr, yağış ve hava basıncının inşaat iş kazası şiddeti üzerine etkileri araştırılmıştır. İnşaat iş kazası sonrası kazazedelerin iyileşmesi için gereken tedavi süresi dikkate alınarak, iş kaza şiddeti değişkeni hafif, orta ve ağır olmak üzere üç gruba ayrılmıştır. Bu üç grup tüm faktörlerin ortalamaları bakımından karşılaştırılarak istatistiksel analizler yapılmıştır. Bu analizlerde Tek Yönlü ANOVA ve Kruskal-Wallis H Testleri kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre inşaat faaliyetlerindeki; kış aylarında kazazedenin genel iş deneyimi arttıkça kaza şiddetinin azaldığı, kış aylarında günlük hava basıncı arttıkça kaza şiddetinin arttığı, yaz aylarında rüzgâr hızı arttıkça kaza şiddetinin azaldığı, kış aylarında rüzgâr hızı arttıkça kaza şiddetinin de arttığı bulgularına ulaşılmıştır. İnşaat faaliyetlerindeki risk değerlendirmelerinde, bu faktörlerin göz önünde bulundurulmasının iş kaza şiddetinin azaltılmasına etki edeceği değerlendirilmektedir. İş kazalarının şiddetinin azaltılmasına yönelik olarak iş sağlığı ve güvenliği profesyonellerine, akademisyenlere ve bazı kamu kuruluşlarına tavsiyelerde bulunulmuştur.
