The Kantian Notion of Categories and their Origin
Authors: Chakrabarti Dipanwita
Published: August 2024

The objective of the present work is to understand and elucidate Kant’s notion of category and how he derived the categories from a single transcendental principle. Kant did not put forward any definition of categories. He believed that categories cannot be defined without perpetrating a circle. Thus, he began his discourse with certain features of categories in his work Critique of Pure Reason. We have discussed the characteristic features of Kantian categories. An important point to be noted here is that the categories, in the fullest Kantian sense of the term, must have a distinct property, namely that it should necessarily be applicable to all objects of knowledge. However, we are not concerned with the necessary applicability of concept to all objects of knowledge here in this paper. The analysis about the Kantian notion of categories, more importantly, necessitates a discussion about how he derived them from a single transcendental principle. Kant referred to the single principle which guides the search for the categories as “the clue to the discovery of the categories.” The specific and clear formulation of the principle which served as the transcendental clue to the discovery of the categories for Kant is that to every form of judgment there corresponds a pure and basic concept of the understanding. The forms of judgments and the categories both originate from the same source, namely, the function of the understanding, i.e., thinking. It may be noted here that the understanding is the power or faculty of knowing and thinking or judging is the function of understanding. Kant argued that the twelve logical forms of judgments provided the clue to the origin of twelve corresponding a priori concepts or categories. Two arguments provided by Kant in support of the principle serving as a transcendental clue to the discovery of the categories are analysed. An orthodox view held by some philosophers that for Kant the forms of judgment are forms of analytic judgment has been critically analyzed and is interpreted as erroneous. Keywords: category, judgment, understanding, categorematic, syncategorematic

Published: August 2024

This paper presents the advantages and challenges of Croatia as a health tourism destination. Croatia is a popular tourist destination where tourism significantly contributes to the country's GDP. Health tourism in Croatia is based on natural health resorts, preventative medical and rehabilitation programs, and various wellness offerings. However, the current state of health tourism is not very promising, as large medical institutions (such as clinical hospital centers, general hospitals, and polyclinics) show little interest. Previous guests have expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of innovation in the programs offered and the limited accessibility for persons with special needs. Significant investment in hotel and medical infrastructure is necessary to meet contemporary global tourist demand, including staff education and increased competitiveness in the international market. This research highlights the importance of health tourism as a selective type necessary for the current and future development of tourism at both local and international levels. The objective is to understand the existing potential of the Saint Nicholas Polyclinic and explore possibilities to further valorize health resources. The research methodology included a survey questionnaire, with results displayed graphically. The findings indicate that Croatia has the prerequisites for health tourism development, particularly in medical tourism. Keywords: tourism, health tourism, sanatorium, polyclinic, development

Authors: Bambang Subali  , Siswanto Siswanto  , Hartono Hartono  , Masturi Masturi
Published: August 2024

Reading is an important activity that must be present in the science learning process, especially reading with meaningful activities, one of which is critical argumentation reading activity. Reading is very closely related to student motivation while reading. This motivation plays an important role in supporting the success of reading goals. So far, research related to students' reading motivation has rarely been carried out, especially for critical argumentation reading activities. Most of the research was conducted at the elementary and secondary school levels. Therefore, this research will be conducted with the aim of analyzing students' motivation while reading using critical argumentation activities. This study involved 83 science teacher candidate students. In practice, students were divided into three classes, namely group experimental class (N = 29), individual experimental class (N = 29), and control class (N = 25). The research was conducted using the think aloud protocol method, in which students were asked questions while reading the text, and recorded all the answers orally. The results showed that students' motivation during reading as part of a self-regulation strategy showed better results when students read using the critical argumentation reading model. In addition, students are able to carry out self-regulation strategies from a better motivational aspect if reading activities are carried out in groups.

Published: August 2024

This research aims to identify students' misconceptions about momentum and impulse material using a four-tier diagnostic assessment instrument to implement learning evaluation in the Merdeka curriculum. This type of research is descriptive with a qualitative approach, with data collection techniques carried out through assessments and interviews. Interview data is used to reinforce assessment data. The instrument used in the study is a four-tier diagnostic test on momentum and impulse developed by the researchers. The results showed that 50% of students experienced misconceptions about momentum matter due to the assumption that if two objects move with the same kinetic energy should have the same speed so that the momentum of both objects can be determined by ignoring their velocity. Then, as many as 13. 9% of students experience misconceptions about the law of conservation of matter momentum because of students' assumptions that ignore direction on velocity vector quantities. In other physics concepts, some students are less careful in calculations. The results of this study are expected to be a reference for teachers in designing more meaningful Merdeka curriculum-based learning plans to help students better understand the concepts of momentum and impulse.

Importance of glycoalkaloids analysis (α-solanine and α-chaconine) derived from potato consumption in pre-Hispanic inhabitants of the Americas
Authors: Ordoñez Roberto , Montalvo-Puente Carlos , Romero-Bastidas Martha , Ramos-Guerrero Luis , Vargas-Jentzsch Paul
Published: August 2024

In the pre-Columbian societies of the Americas, a wide range of food practices was observed. However, several countries shared certain staple foods, such as the potato, which has held a significant place in the diet since ancient times. It is important to note that potatoes contain glycoalkaloids, a class of alkaloids with potential toxicity risks when consumed in high concentrations by both humans and animals. This study aims to offer guidance on the presence of glycoalkaloids in potatoes and proposes further research into these compounds in archaeological remains that were utilized as food across all American countries. This recommendation stems from the dearth of studies on this subject, particularly in cases where archaeological discoveries include potato starch granules. In this study, various databases were examined to discover historical insights into the potato and to elucidate the primary aspects of glycoalkaloid chemistry associated with this tuber. The findings underscore the crucial role played by the potato in pre-Columbian cultures of the Americas, particularly in the regions situated along the Andes mountain range. Furthermore, the analysis of its nutritional composition unveiled the prevalence of two key glycoalkaloids in the tuber: α-solanine and α-chaconine. In this research, a comprehensive review of the chemical properties, botanical functions, human metabolism, potential health effects, toxicity thresholds, and available analytical techniques for the detection and quantification of toxic compounds was conducted. The significance of identifying these molecules in archaeological contexts was highlighted, as their presence may prompt investigations into prevalent diseases among historical populations.
Historical Inscriptions of the 17th Century in Cyrillic Books: New Findings
Authors:   Russian State Library, Beliankin Yurij
Published: August 2024

The article introduces into scholarly circulation newly-found 17th century notes, previously unknown to specialists, on old printed books from the 16th–17th centuries preserved in some modern private bibliophile collections. These books, printed in East Slavic printing houses, as well as at the Moscow Print Yard, containing notes of undoubted historical and cultural significance, were identified by the author during recent field and office archaeographic work. The value of notes in old printed books as a historical source has long been proven in historiography, while archeographical work focused on the search, description, and study of such notes remains relevant. The article examines donation notes in the books, as well as the bookplates of the outstanding book translator and scribe Evfimy Chudovsky; the crucial historical figure Yuri Khmelnitsky, the son of Bogdan Khmelnitsky; the “hero” of the Tale of the Miracles of the Vilna Cross, Bogdan Tsvetnov, a merchant and sponsor of churches and monasteries in Murom; and, finally, Pyotr Yevtihievich Lermontov, the great-great-grandfather of Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov.
Life Beyond Biology: Perspectives on the Earth as an Organism
Authors: Salazar Ángel
Published: August 2024

The idea that planet Earth can be considered as an organism is discussed in perspective. To this end, we provide a historical context for the concept of life, as well as a summary of important advances in planetary science. We show that autonomy, which has been described as the fundamental property of living organisms, is consistent with the operation of the whole planet coupling (WPC), which in turn describes the organization of the Earth. This leads us to explore the network of processes involved in the regulation of our planet from an innovative perspective, suggesting further interactions between its subsystems and new functions for the Earth's magnetic field (EMF). The realization that the definition of life is applicable to a system such as a planet then leads us to question the situation of life in the universe and the boundary between physics and physiology. Finding it blurred, we discuss the thermodynamic implications of a physiological universe.
Research Priorities for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response: An Interdisciplinary Delphi Study
Authors: Hostler Tom , Poerio Giulia
Published: August 2024

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a multisensory experience most often associated with feelings of relaxation and altered consciousness, elicited by stimuli which include whispering, repetitive movements, and close personal attention. Since 2015, ASMR research has grown rapidly, spanning disciplines from neuroscience to media studies but lack a collaborative or interdisciplinary approach. To build a cohesive and connected structure for ASMR research moving forwards, a modified Delphi study was conducted with ASMR experts, practitioners, community members, and researchers from various disciplines. Ninety-eight participants provided 451 suggestions for ASMR research priorities which were condensed into 13 key areas: (1) Definition, conceptual clarification, and measurement of ASMR, (2) Origins and development of ASMR, (3) Neurophysiology of ASMR, (4) Understanding ASMR triggers, (5) Factors affecting the likelihood of experiencing/eliciting ASMR, (6) ASMR and individual/cultural differences, (7) ASMR and the senses, (8) ASMR and social intimacy, (9) Positive and negative consequences of ASMR in the general population, (10) Therapeutic applications of ASMR in clinical contexts, (11) Effects of long term ASMR use, (12) ASMR platforms and technology, (13) ASMR community, culture, and practice. These were voted on by 70% of the initial participant pool using best-worst scaling methods. The resulting agenda provides a clear map for ASMR research to enable new and existing researchers to orient themselves towards important questions for the field and to inspire interdisciplinary collaborations.

Kreativität beim Namen nennen: Eine qualitative Bestandsaufnahme der deutschen und österreichischen Schulcurricula zur Verwendung von Kreativität
Authors: Gruber L. Vanessa , Költzsch Deborah
Published: August 2024

Während der letzten beiden Jahrzehnte hat die Bedeutung von Kreativität innerhalb der Bildungslandschaft stetig zugenommen. Indessen unterscheidet sich das Verständnis von Kreativität in internationalen Lehrplänen je nach Region und Schulfach deutlich, wobei sich insbesondere in den bildnerischen Fächern eine stärkere Repräsentation des Begriffs zeigt (Cachia et al., 2010; Heilmann & Korte, 2010; Patston et al., 2021; Wyse & Ferrari, 2014). Allerdings hat bislang keine ganzheitliche Untersuchung des deutschen und österreichischen Bildungssystems stattgefunden. Die vorliegende Arbeit hat deshalb mittels qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse die Nennungen und Kontextualisierung deutscher und österreichischer Curricula aller Schularten für das Fach Englisch (n = 188) sowie die bildnerischen Fächer (n = 138) untersucht. Die Resultate zeigen, dass Kreativität zwar in beiden Fächern Erwähnung findet, aber nur in Ausnahmefällen definiert oder kontextualisiert wird und somit dem wissenschaftlichen Standard nur bedingt entspricht. Zudem weisen die Curricula bestehende Irrtümer, wie beispielsweise die Gleichsetzung von Kunst und Kreativität, auf, wodurch anzunehmen ist, dass dieses mangelhafte Verständnis zu einer limitierten Förderung von Kreativität im schulischen Kontext führen kann.
Potenziale und Herausforderungen des Quer- und Seiteneinstiegs in den Lehrberuf aus Sicht der Schulleiter:innen
Authors: Arndt Mona
Published: August 2024

Um dem akuten und anhaltenden Lehrkräftemangel in Deutschland zu begegnen, werden vermehrt Lehrkräfte ohne grundständiges Lehramtsstudium in den Schuldienst eingestellt. Während bspw. die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Erziehungswissenschaft (DGfE) Kritik an diesem Vorgehen übt, zeigen empirische Befunde, dass mit der Einstellung neben Herausforderungen auch Potenziale für die Schul- und Unterrichtsentwicklung einhergehen. In diesem Zusammenhang ist bisher jedoch nur wenig über die Perspektive der Schulleiter:innen zu Potenzialen und Herausforderungen der Beschäftigung nicht grundständig ausgebildeter Lehrkräfte bekannt. Ziel des Artikels ist es, einen Beitrag zur Strukturierung dieser zu leisten. Hierzu werden die Antworten offener Fragen einer Online-Befragung mithilfe der strukturierten Inhaltsanalyse nach Mayring ausgewertet. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich eine Differenzierung auf Ebene der Personenmerkmale sowie auf Ebene der Schul- und Unterrichtsentwicklung und der schulübergreifenden Perspektive. Auf Basis der Ergebnisse wird die Notwendigkeit einer Standardisierung der Qualifizierung nicht grundständig ausgebildeter Lehrkräfte diskutiert.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are critical as the backbone of local economies and a source of innovation in this rapidly evolving economic world. MSMEs have great potential but often face problems such as lack of capital, limited market access, and lack of knowledge of business strategies. This activity report discusses the mentoring efforts made to support MSMEs, specifically "Brewman Coffee", in analysing their business SWOT and helping them to create a Business Identification Number (NIB) to support business legality and growth. The goal of this activity is that MSMEs can prepare themselves to face market challenges and better utilise existing opportunities through this mentoring. The methods used were observation, interviews, training and mentoring, and monitoring and evaluation. The activity results show that partners understand the business strategy to be carried out and can make NIB independently. The next activity is expected that partners can continue to manage legality so that they can compete globally.

Authors: Indradewa Rhian
Published: August 2024

Bike Sharing merupakan sebuah sistem penyediaan sepeda di tempat umum yang dapat digunakan secara cuma-cuma oleh masyarakat. Bike sharing telah populer digunakan di kota-kota besar dunia seperti London, Washington DC, Mexico City, Guangzhou, dan masih banyak lagi. Di Indonesia sendiri, kota yang telah menerapkan bike sharing adalah Bandung. Pemerintah Kota Bandung meluncurkan layanan Bike Sharing bernama Boseh. Sayangnya sistem Bike Sharing yang dioperasikan masih menggunakan sistem konvensional. Sistem konvensional yang dimaksud yaitu masih menggunakan sepeda konvensional dan belum adanya fungsi smart tracker dan e-bike menggunakan sepeda listrik yang dapat memudahkan pengguna dan pengelola dalam pengoperasiannya sehingga antusiasme masyarakat masih rendah. Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah untuk mengkonversi sepeda konvesnional menjadi sepeda listrik yang lebih ramah lingkungan, dengan melibatkan perusahaan rintisan (Startups). Hasil dari kegiatan tersebut, masyarakat diharapkan akan mengurangi penggunaan sepeda motor bensin dan beralih menggunakan E-Bike terutama E-Bike system sharing.

Creative (Multilingual) Placemaking in the Classroom: Enhancing Plurilingual Children’s Language Awareness and Belonging
Authors: Tjandra Christina
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the implications of engaging plurilingual children in creative multilingual placemaking practices on their language awareness and sense of belonging. Children participated in carefully designed class activities, engaging in tasks focused on reflecting on their own identities, the community’s, and the neighbourhood’s, alongside continuous research conversations. This process led to children creating multilingual placemaking design initiatives to propose changes in their schoolscape to make their school linguistically more inclusive. Through these activities, children reported that (1) they became more aware of the presence of different languages and cultures around them and (2) they became more aware of the power of language(s) in creating belonging; they argued that (3) this allowed them to acknowledge the fluidity of meanings between their L1 and L2; and they explained that (4) the project supported them in cultivating curiosity about languages and language learning. Overall, the findings suggest that creating a space for children to analyze the geographical, sociological, and linguistic aspects of their environment would impact their learning, social awareness, critical thinking, and transdisciplinary knowledge.

French-as-a-second-language (FSL) teacher candidates’ French proficiency and confidence are key indicators of recruitment and retention of FSL teachers. This paper outlines a pilot project, the Conversation Club, that was used to address linguistic insecurity and proficiency in FSL teacher candidates at one university. The Conversation Club was a drop-in 1-hour session conducted over 5 weeks where participants conversed, played games, and participated in dramatic activities entirely in French. The findings from this pilot project demonstrate how linguistic confidence of FSL teacher candidates can be improved with only a few short sessions in French. Further, participants developed their pedagogical knowledge and skills through experiential learning by participating in activities that they could in turn implement in their FSL classrooms. Last, participants developed a social network of support. Findings support the benefit of implementing low-pressure, game-focused drop-in French-language support group within FSL teacher preparation programs to support FSL teachers’ linguistic confidence and, potentially, FSL teacher retention. An outline of the club and suggestions for implementation are included in the appendices of this article.
