Effect of Occupational Health and Safety Management System implementation on compliance with safety requirements in a logistics support organization
Authors: Schaal Nicholas
Published: November 2024

Previous research regarding measuring the effectiveness of safety programs has relied on reactive/lagging indicator approaches that include addressing adverse outcomes such as personnel injury. Several Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) standards require organizations to determine an appropriate OHSMS measurement frequency but it is unknown which effectiveness indicators should be measured and the assessment frequency that is needed to realize positive change in the safety program. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of leading indicator measurement on self-reported OHSMS implementation.  Additionally, determine the leading indicator self-assessment frequency that leads to measurable OHSMS improvements.  The current investigation was a longitudinal study design of OHSMS implementation self-assessment information compiled monthly from August 2021 – November 2022 for 15 subordinate units of a logistics support organization.  Repeated measures analysis of variance and post hoc comparisons were conducted to determine which months were significantly different and to determine the length of time necessary to realize OHSMS improvement.  Overall OHSMS score ranged from 71.2%­­­­­­–82.7%. There were significant OHSMS improvements between the first month and the final 1–2 months of monitoring. It took 8–9 months to realize significant improvements of 6%. Improvement in OHSMS compliance was observed but monthly self-assessments were too short a period to reveal significant improvement.  Measuring leading indicators is useful to: assess OHSMS implementation, observe OHSMS changes, and monitor OHSMS continuous program improvement.

Red beans are a source of vegetable protein. One of the processes for handling red beans is germination. Red sprouts can be turned into flour to extend their shelf life and reduce the unpleasant odor that is usually present in legume products. The quality of flour products is greatly influenced by temperature and drying time, because inappropriate conditions can cause microbial growth and undesirable reactions. The main objective of this study was to assess how temperature and drying time affect the chemical and functional properties of red bean sprout flour. Apart from that, this research also aims to identify the optimal temperature and drying time required to produce red bean sprout flour with the desired characteristics. This research used a Randomized Block Design with a factorial pattern. The first factor investigated was the drying temperature, which was divided into three different levels: 50, 60, and 70°C. The next factor considered is drying time which is also categorized into three levels: 14 hours, 16 hours, and 18 hours. The data that was collected underwent analysis through variance. If the treatment had an impact on the observed variables, the analysis proceeded with a Duncan Multiple Range Test. The research results showed that the most effective treatment for producing red bean sprout flour was achieved with a drying temperature of 70oC and a drying time of 16 hours. This treatment produces red bean sprout flour with the following characteristics; water content 5.16% protein content 22.8%, wettability 142.385 seconds, water absorption capacity 211.35%, water solubility index 50.39%, oil absorption capacity 96.584%, and swelling power 388.20%.

Nowadays fermented foods are increasingly consumed by the public. Fermentation is a food processing process by breaking down organic compounds carried out by microorganisms, especially lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Various types of LAB-fermented foods comes both from local and foreign countries such as kefir; dairy product such as yogurt, and cheese; plant-based food such as sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, fermented cassava, and tempe. This type of food is believed to have various health benefits such as improving digestive health through maintaining control of pathogenic intestinal microflora, helping the absorption of certain nutrients, and improving the immune system. Previous studies have shown that fermented foods affect the absorption of protein and minerals (iron, zinc). Some study has shown that exopolysaccharides (EPS) from LAB has an antioxidant effect. Therefore, this review study aims to determine the absorption characteristics of nutrients from LAB fermented foods and how they affect digestive health.

Meeting Educational Demands: Teacher and Student Voices on Language Focus Needs Analysis in English Material Design for Nursing Education
Authors: Daar Gabriel Fredi
Published: November 2024

This qualitative study aims to explore the language focus needs (reading, grammar, vocabulary, and speaking) as input material in the design of teaching materials. The research was conducted in the nursing undergraduate program at the Catholic University of Indonesia Saint Paul Ruteng, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGD) with several participants. The research participants were purposively selected based on predefined criteria, resulting in 15 participants consisting of 2 English teachers, 3 nursing lectures and 10 nursing students. Data analysis was carried out using an interactive model (Miles et al., 2014). The findings of the study indicated that language focus is one of the key aspects needed as input material in designing ESP nursing teaching materials. The speaking aspect is the ultimate goal of the material being studied, and therefore, reading, grammar, and vocabulary are necessary to support speaking proficiency. Based on the perspectives of students and teachers, simple reading materials need to be included in the teaching materials to help students improve their vocabulary mastery and learn grammar in an integrative manner. The results of this research contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the importance of analysing language focus needs in designing ESP teaching materials from the perspectives of students and teachers.
Japanese Speech Acts and Politeness in Hospitality Services
Authors: Kusumarini Indah , Dyah Wahyuning
Published: November 2024

In the world of hospitality, staff provide service to guests through verbal communication. The purpose of this research is to determine the phenomenon of speech acts that are often used by hotel staff when communicating directly with Japanese guests. Conversation data is obtained through recording dialogue between hotel staff and guests when providing services. Data were analysed using Searle's (1969) speech act theory and Brown & Levinson's (1987) politeness theory. From the data analysis, it was known that in hotel services, direct voice is most widely used by hotel staff. Speech acts used by the staff are directive (50.9%) and expressive (25.4%) speech acts, assertive speech 21.8%, and commissive speech 1.8%. Judging from the principle of politeness, directive speech acts that were delivered directly by the hotel staff have the potential to threaten guests' faces. However, because hotel staff use teineigo (standard polite) form of Japanese, it can be said that the speech of hotel staff in Bali is relatively polite and safe (does not threaten the face) of guests and staff as service providers. Considering that body posture is also part of politeness in hotel guest service, this element needs to be studied further.

Upacara   Warak Keruron  adalah sebuah upacara yang baru mulai dilaksanakan sejak era tahun 1970 -an. Sebelum era tahun 1970an, umat Hindu di Bali tidak begitu mempersoalkan  jika terjadi keguguran. Keguguran dianggap sebagai fenomena biasa yang tidak perlu di adakan upacara tertentu, karena dianggap tidak leteh. Namun seiring perkembangan jaman, ternyata banyak wanita yang setelah mengalami keguguran mengalami berbagai masalah, gangguan psikologis, traumatik sampai halusinasi dan kesulitan lainnya. Menurut sastra suci Hindu, keguguran adalah kejadian yang menimbulkan cuntaka/leteh baik pada diri yang mengalami maupun lingkungannya. Sehingga untuk menghilangkannya perlu diadakan upacara yang disebut Upacara Warak Karuron. Tujuannya adalah menghilangkan cuntaka/leteh bagi si ibu, sehingga tidak terus mengalami gangguan psikologis yang dampaknya sangat luas. Dan juga untuk membebaskan roh sang bayi yang masih terperangkap dalam tubuh prakertinya, untuk itu unsur prakertinya yang terdiri dari unsur Panca Maha Bhuta dikembalikan ke asalnya, roh sang bayi disucikan agar bisa meneruskan perjalanannya ke alam sunialoka.

REALITAS KEHIDUPAN BERAGAMA DI INDONESIA DALAM PERSPEKTIF METAFISIKA THOMAS AQUINAS
Authors: Emil Yohanis
Published: November 2024

Kehidupan beragama di Indonesia merupakan salah satu aspek penting dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Namun, pada realnya, kehidupan beragama di Indonesia masih menghadapi berbagai tantangan, seperti intoleransi, diskriminasi, dan kekerasan. Intoleransi merupakan sikap tidak toleran terhadap pandangan atau keyakinan yang berbeda. Diskriminasi merupakan perlakuan yang tidak adil terhadap seseorang atau kelompok berdasarkan agamanya. Kekerasan merupakan tindakan yang menimbulkan kerugian fisik atau psikis terhadap seseorang atau kelompok berdasarkan agamanya. Perspektif metafisika Thomas Aquinas tentang kehidupan beragama dapat memberikan wawasan yang bermanfaat untuk memahami dan mengatasi tantangan-tantangan tersebut. Aquinas menekankan pentingnya hakikat atau esensi dari suatu hal. Hakikat ini merupakan sesuatu yang melekat pada suatu hal dan tidak dapat berubah. Dalam konteks kehidupan beragama, hakikat ini dapat dimaknai sebagai nilai-nilai dasar yang menjadi landasan bagi praktek beragama yang baik. Berdasarkan perspektif Aquinas, intoleransi, diskriminasi, dan kekerasan merupakan praktik beragama yang tidak sesuai dengan hakikatnya. Praktik-praktik ini bertentangan dengan nilai-nilai dasar yang universal, seperti nilai-nilai kebenaran, kebaikan, dan keadilan. Tujuan dari penulisan artikel ini ialah merefleksikan realitas kehidupan beragama di Indonesia dalam perspektif metafisika Thomas Aquinas. Metode yang digunakan dalam penulisan artikel ini ialah metode kualitatif kepustakaan dengan menelusuri buku-buku sebagai sumber primer dan artikel sebagai sumber sekundernya. Hasil yang ditemukan dalam penulisan artikel ini ialah berbagai masalah kehidupan beragama di Indonesia yang pada dasarnya merupakan kurangnya kesadaran untuk menggunakan akal budi dalam beriman. Akhirnya dapat disimpulkan bahwa penghargaan terhadap perbedaan dalam kehidupan beragama untuk menciptakan suatu hubungan yang harmonis akan tercapai bila masyarakat Indonesia menggunakan akal budi dalam beriman.

The article presents a brief theoretical analysis of the concepts of “identity” and “value orientations”, and provides the results of an empirical study on the problem of identity and value orientations of student youth. The purpose of the article is to present the results of a study of the relationship between the components of identity and value orientations of student youth in the context of cross-cultural analysis. The components of identity and value orientations in samples of Russian and Buryat respondents were studied. Correlations between identity and value orientations have been identified. Participants. 100 Russian and 100 Buryat university students. 200 persons in total. Methods (tools): S. Schwartz’s value questionnaire, identity questionnaire in 16 categories (M.S. Yanitsky et al., 2018), mathematical and statistical processing using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient rs. The results of the study showed that there are similarities and differences in the correlations of the structure of value orientations of the subjects of the represented ethnocultural groups at two levels (normative ideals and individual priorities). The results obtained showed that the identity and value orientations of students in each group have their own characteristics. But no unique national characteristics were found among representatives of Russian and Buryat youth. Correlation analysis revealed that the hierarchy of values of students from both cultures contains values such as conformity, kindness, stimulation, independence, hedonism, and achievement. Negative correlations were identified between the identity components “Citizen of one’s country”, “Follower of one’s religion”, “Resident of a given city” with the value orientations “Kindness”, “Stimulation”, “Traditions”, “Independence”, “Safety”, “Power”, "Achievements".
Enhancing Professional Development of Foundation Phase Teachers through Training Needs Analysis at Primary Schools in King Cetshwayo District, KwaZulu-Natal
Authors: Ngema Millicent
Published: November 2024

Professional development remains crucial in empowering teachers with the knowledge and skills required in their workspace. However, the nature of professional development that should be offered to an individual teacher might be missed without initially conducting a needs analysis. Training Needs Analysis (TNA) refers to collecting and analysing data supporting decision-making about the training or other support required to improve individual performance. This study explores how Foundation Phase teachers’ TNA enhances their professional development in school. The study used a case study design and an interpretative paradigm in its qualitative research methodology. Ten Foundation Phase teachers were purposively selected from five primary schools in the King Cetshwayo district in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Semi-structured interviews and observation in post-evaluation meetings were used to generate data. The collected data were analysed using a thematic analysis. The findings revealed gaps in how needs analysis was conducted, ranging from Foundation Phase teachers’ misconceptions about the process, poor monitoring of the process, and no evidence of the link between the needs analysis and the improvement of the learners’ performance. This study recommends appropriate monitoring by the Department of Basic Education’s officials as part of the development support groups to allow the triangulation of evidence and quality to ensure the process.
The Problematic of the thing-in-itself in XIX century philosophy
Authors: Dil I. V.
Published: November 2024

In modern philosophy, the status of the concept of the thing-in-itself and the history of its origin and transformation are being conceptualized. This article examines the conceptual shift that happened to the notion of the thing-in-itself in XIX century philosophy, because this notion still remains important in the context of the possibility of having knowledge about reality and the status of reality itself. The rethinking of the thing-in-itself in the philosophy of Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and neo-Kantianism of the Marburg school (Cohen, Cassirer, Natorp) is considered. A comparative analysis of the works of all these authors allows us to say that the primary orientation of all these authors is to the specific elimination of the concept of the thing-in-itself. The thing-in-itself outside Kantian philosophy went through changes connected with an attempt to get rid of it or to define it in a non-contradictory (because the transcendent form of thing-in-itself gives us a contradiction) way for transcendental philosophy.

ANALYSIS OF THE TOPOLOGY OF POLYHEDRA IN THE PROBLEM OF APPROXIMATION OF CLOSED SURFACES BY POLYHEDRA WITH GROUPS OF CONGRUENT FACES
Authors: RUSTAMYAN V.V.
Published: November 2024

Approaches to solving the problem of free-form surface approximation using polyhedra with groups of congruent faces can vary widely. One possible approach is to treat the problem as an optimization task and solve it using evolutionary methods, such as a genetic algorithm. This requires an understanding of the algorithm's properties, proper formalization of the problem conditions, and an investigation of the behavior of the approximating polyhedron as a dynamic system. The article presents the results of an experiment aimed at identifying the influence of the polygonal mesh topology on the ability to group faces based on congruency. Experimental data demonstrate how networks with differing topologies can affect the capacity for forming groups of congruent faces in various ways, which is crucial for optimizing the approximation process and improving the quality of the resulting polyhedra. The results provide deeper insight into the interaction between polygonal mesh topology and face grouping, as well as suggest new avenues for further research in the field of evolutionary optimization methods for approximating complex surfaces.

The Yanbu'a method is a method of memorizing the Qur'an that pays attention to aspects of clarity and fluency. To support Qur'an memorization activities, Madrasah Tahfidz Putri Anak in Yogyakarta teaches the Yanbu'a method in its educational activities. The background of this study is because there are still Arabic pronunciation errors that are not good in reading skills, so there needs to be an appropriate strategy in improving the quality of reading the Qur'an. The purpose of this study is to try to find the relationship between the quality of Qur'anic recitation in the Yanbu'a method and the quality of students' ability to read and pronounce fluent Arabic texts with a fluent tongue expressively. The educational implications of the Yanbu'a method are interesting to study its impact on the quality of reading aloud which is not limited to reading and understanding by heart, but includes abilities such as expressing it with the correct tongue. This research is all the more interesting because almost all literature that discusses the Yanbu'a method relates it to fluency in reading the Qur'an. However, in this study, the researchers tried to relate it to a different aspect, namely the ability to read aloud Arabic texts other than the Qur'an. This research uses descriptive qualitative method by collecting data through observation, interview, and documentation. The data sources in this study are the Qur'an and a collection of school supervisors. Future researchers can develop this article by discussing how the implementation of the Yanbu'a method in improving the quality of maharah qira'ah jahriyyah outside of reading the Qur'an.

Published: November 2024

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) led to a global health crisis, prompting extensive research into its pathogenesis and potential therapeutic interventions. One area of increasing interest is the interaction between SARS-CoV-2 and the complement system, a crucial component of innate immunity. This review explores the intricate relationship between COVID-19 and the complement system, shedding light on how the virus exploits and manipulates the complement components to induce inflammatory responses leading to coagulopathies. The activation of the complement pathway simultaneously activates the coagulation cascade due to the presence of common substrates of mannan-binding serine proteases of the lectin complement system in the coagulation pathway. This cross-talk between the components of the complement and coagulation system further aggravates the dysregulation of immune responses, contributing to the cytokine storm observed in severe COVID-19 cases. A comprehensive understanding of this crosstalk is crucial for developing targeted therapeutic strategies to mitigate the hyperinflammatory state associated with severe disease. Understandings into the molecular mechanisms governing this interaction may pave the way for the development of novel antiviral diagnostics and therapies based on immunomodulatory interventions, offering better management for such cases.

Objective:

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in the formation, progression, and metastasis of cancer. This study aimed to explore the roles of the lncRNA ST8SIA6 antisense RNA 1 (ST8SIA6-AS1) in tumorigenesis and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism of its upregulation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Material and Methods:

A total of 56 in-house pairs of HCC tissues were examined, and ST8SIA6-AS1 levels were determined through real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The biological behavior of ST8SIA6-AS1 by Crispr-Cas9-based gene repression and activation was determined in vitro and in vivo. The binding sites and biological behavior of Myc proto-oncogene and forkhead box A on chromatin were investigated through luciferase reporter assays, chromatin immunoprecipitation–quantitative PCR, and co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) assays. The regulatory mechanisms of ST8SIA6-AS1 expression were analyzed with encyclopedia of DNA elements and gene expression profiling interactive analysis.

Results:

The expression of ST8SIA6-AS1 significantly increased in multiple HCC cell lines and the 56 in-house pairs of HCC tissues (P = 0.0018). Functionally, high-efficiency Crispr-Cas9-based knockdown of ST8SIA6-AS1 revealed that ST8SIA6-AS1 knockdown attenuated the proliferation, migration, and infiltration of HCC cells and considerably reduced the growth rate of subcutaneous and orthotopic HCC tumors. Conversely, ST8SIA6-AS1 overexpression considerably improved the oncogenic characteristics of the HCC cells. Furthermore, ST8SIA6-AS1 upregulation was regulated by the direct binding of transcription factor Myc to the −260 bp to+155 bp and +1003 bp to +1312 bp regions of the ST8SIA6-AS1 transcription start site, which is a segment with high level of H3K27 acetylation. Myc knockdown or treatment with the BET bromodomain inhibitor JQ-1 considerably reduced ST8SIA6-AS1 RNA expression in the HCC cells.

Conclusion:

Our study has established the oncogenic role of ST8SIA6-AS1 and elucidated the Myc-dependent upregulation mechanism of ST8SIA6-AS1 in HCC, providing a profound theoretical molecular basis for the carcinogenic function of ST8SIA6-AS1 in HCC.
