Authors: Asrul Rusadi Raisa Rahmi Putri , Yulianty Yulianty , Sri Wahyuningsih  , Eti Ernawiati
Published: June 2024

The fungus Colletotrichum acutatum which often attacks chili plants causes anthracnose disease. Farmers generally use fungicides to control this disease. Continuous use of synthetic fungicides will have negative impacts. Plant extracts as an alternative to natural fungicides can be an appropriate and environmentally friendly choice. One of them is the use of Local Microorganisms (MOL). This  research aims to determine the optimal concentration of coconut pulp MOL in increasing the resistance of red chilli plants to the fungus Colletotrichum acutatum that causes anthracnose disease. The study used a Totally Randomized Design (CRD) with 6 drugs, namely A (0 ml/water), B (5 ml/water), C (10 ml/water), D (15 ml/water), E (20 ml/water). ml/water), F (25 ml/water). There are four treatments each time. Information was broken down using ANOVA and continued with the Fair Genuine Contrast (BNJ) test at the 5% level (α = 5%). with a level of 5% (α = 5%). The results showed a significant effect on fungal colony diameter, germination period, plant height, plant incubation period, and disease severity. The best concentration of local coconut pulp microorganisms in inhibiting anthracnose disease was 25 ml/l water.

PONTES DE MIRANDA E O DIREITO Á EDUCAÇÃO
Authors: Gonçalves Francysco Pablo Feitosa
Published: June 2024

Pontes de Miranda geralmente é lembrado pelas suas ideias jurídicas; desde sua forma peculiar de compreender o direito em relação às outras ciências, como parte de uma ciência da sociedade maior, até elementos teórico-filosóficos como as ideias sobre a incidência da norma e suas teorizações e comentários sobre o direito posto. Reveladora de um saber enciclopédico e de uma notável capacidade de sistematização, a obra de Pontes, que antecipa certos aspectos do positivismo lógico do Círculo de Viena, envereda por outras áreas como as ciências exatas e a teoria política; o presente ensaio se insere em relação a esta última,
objetivando avaliar as dimensões que Pontes dava à educação o que, por sua vez, pressupõe uma análise de suas ideias políticas, como por exemplo a sua adesão e apologia a um socialismo atípico e suas concepções sobre o papel do Estado e possibilidades da educação como instrumento de transformação das relações sociais. Para a sua realização partiu-se de uma análise dos escritos do próprio Pontes de Miranda; com ênfase nos livros “Direito à Educação” e “Democracia, Liberdade, Igualdade”; nos quais as suas convicções políticas se tornam mais evidentes, procurando também realizar um diálogo com outros autores que se dedicaram à análise de suas ideias — como Pinto Ferreira, Nelson Saldanha e Lourival Vilanova. A partir desse trabalho se espera, portanto, realizar uma breve contribuição ao estudo de aspectos nem sempre lembrados da obra de Pontes e propor um diálogo sobre as mesmas e sobre a história das ideias políticas, jurídicas e educacionais brasileiras.

Exploring the Implications of English as an International Language in Reading Instruction
Authors: Moh. Rif'attullah  , Putra Fahry Rizaldy
Published: June 2024

The global expansion of the English language has sparked a growing demand for English education, transforming it into a tool for both local communication and international pursuits. This shift has led to a departure from mere imitation of native speakers towards embracing English as an International Language (EIL). English has evolved from being a language of a few dominant nations to a global lingua franca, resulting in profound implications for English language instruction. The English as an International Language (EIL) program emphasizes the multifaceted role of English in a globalized world. This paper discuss about English as an International Language (EIL) on the pedagogy of reading instruction within the Indonesian educational milieu, where English functions as a foreign language. It delves into the importance of reading as a fundamental skill for academic and professional success, highlighting the complexity of reading as an active cognitive process. Three theoretical perspectives on reading are discussed: the traditional bottom-up approach, the cognitive top-down processing approach, and the meta-cognitive perspective. Each perspective offers valuable insights into effective reading instruction. The paper provides the implication of English as the International Languagefor teaching reading, encompassing pre-reading activities that build vocabulary and background knowledge, during-reading strategies to promote active engagement with the text, and post-reading activities that encourage critical thinking and discussion. It emphasizes the need for a balanced approach that combines psycholinguistic and linguistic components in EFL reading instruction.

A review on drug interaction
Authors: priyanka vitthal Kshirsagar  , Pratiksha Suresh Nemane  , Arati Suresh Khose  , Omkar Bappadaheb Nalwade
Published: June 2024

Drug interaction occur when the response of one drug is altered by the simultaneous or closely time administration of another drug. Polypharmacy involving the simultaneous use of multiple drugs, raise concern due to unpredictable and potential severe internation. While some drug interactions are intentionally utilized in therapeutics strategies, their severity can vary making prediction challenging. Prescribing multiple medications increases the risk of drug interactions, which can occur with other drugs, foods, beverages, and herbs, both inside and outside the body. Understanding in vitro interactions is crucial to prevent drug activity loss before administration. While not all theoretical drug interactions may occur in practice, they remain a significant cause of adverse events associated with drug administration. Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) represent a significant source of medication errors in developed nations, especially among the elderly who often take multiple medications simultaneously, leading to a prevalence of 20-40%. The complexity of managing therapy increases with poly-therapy, elevating the risk of clinically significant DDIs that can either trigger adverse drug reactions or diminish clinical efficacy. DDIs are typically categorized into two groups: pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic. In vivo interactions at pharmacokinetic level affect absorption, distribution, biotransformation or excretion of drugs. Induction or inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes forms a major basis of drug interactions. Induction of metabolism of a substrate drug leads to treatment failure.

Learning engagement as a predictor of performance in mathematics among Nigerian senior secondary school students
Authors: Awofala Adeneye Olarewaju , Olaguro Modiu , Fatade Alfred O. , Arigbabu Abayomi A.
Published: June 2024

Learning engagement is a multifactorial paradigm that forecasts content achievement. Yet, learning engagement is rarely assessed in conjunction with mathematics. Therefore, this study explored a survey of learning engagement as a predictor of students’ performance in mathematics. A stratified random sampling technique was deployed to choose a sample of 1200 senior secondary school students from 40 senior secondary schools across the six education districts of Lagos state in Nigeria. A valid and reliable Mathematics Engagement Questionnaire (MEQ, Cronbach alpha=0.81) was deployed in collecting primary data related to learning engagement while secondary data related to end-of-year examination grades were collected from school records and were used to measure performance in mathematics. The results showed that there were weighty associations among behavioural, affective, cognitive engagement, and performance in mathematics. In addition, affective engagement was the greatest contributor to variance in performance in mathematics (β=0.935, p<0.001), and this was trailed by behavioural engagement (β=0.722, p<0.001), and the least contributor to performance in mathematics was cognitive engagement (β=-0.521, p<0.01). It is the suggestion of this study that stakeholders in mathematics education should articulate policies and curricula that allow the development of cognitive, behavioral and affective engagement in order to increase and sustain students’ performance in mathematics.

A Blueprint for ‘Care-Centred AI’: Placing patients and caregivers at the forefront of academic medicine’s AI strategy
Authors: Ress James J. , Edwards Sara
Published: June 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises to revolutionise how healthcare organisations serve patients but harnessing this technology to design better services is fraught with unknowns and confounders. This is particularly true at academic medical centres, where orchestrating care is complex. To help leaders and clinicians at academic medical centres consider, develop and roll out AI-enabled services, we are proposing a blueprint called ‘Care-
Centred AI’ (CCAI). This framework reimagines technology’s
place in the delivery of complex care and reprioritises the
patient-caregiver relationship in care delivery. Furthermore, the CCAI framework takes into account the strategic importance of leveraging data in an ethical way to further enable innovation and care across clinical pathways and operational value chains.
The temporal trajectories of habit decay in daily life: An intensive longitudinal study on four health-risk behaviors
Authors: Edgren Robert , Baretta Dario , Inauen Jennifer
Published: June 2024

Habits are cue-behavior associations learned through repetition that are assumed to be relatively stable. Thereby, unhealthy habits can pose a health risk due to facilitating relapse. In absence of research on habit decay in daily life, we aimed to investigate how habit decreases over time when trying to degrade a habit, and whether this differs by four health-risk behaviors (sedentary behavior, unhealthy snacking, alcohol consumption and smoking). This 91-day intensive longitudinal study included four parallel non-randomized groups (one per behavior; N = 194). Habit strength was measured daily with the Self-Report Behavioral Automaticity Index (11805 observations) and modelled over time with constant, linear, quadratic, cubic, asymptotic, and logistic models. Person-specific modelling revealed asymptotic and logistic models as the most common best fitting models (54% of sample). The time for habit decay to stabilize ranged from 1 to 65 days. Multilevel modelling indicated substantial between-person heterogeneity and suggested initial habit strength but not the decay process to vary by behavioral group. Findings suggest that habit decay when trying to degrade a habit typically follows a decelerating negative trend, but that it is a highly idiosyncratic process. Recommendations include emphasizing the role of person-specific modelling and data visualization in habit research.
Self-reported Social Camouflaging in Sexual Minority and Heterosexual Autistic Adults
Authors: McQuaid Goldie , Lee Nancy Raitano , Wallace Gregory
Published: June 2024

Social camouflaging can include suppressing or concealing certain behaviors to appear “non-autistic” and is one response to the excess social stressors of being a neurominority in a neurotypical-majority society. It is important to understand how persons who are multiply marginalized (e.g., an autistic person assigned female sex at birth who is bisexual), who experience multiple layers of excess social stressors, may face additional pressures to conceal their authentic selves. Autistic persons may be more likely than neurotypical persons to identify with a sexual minority orientation, such as asexual, bisexual, gay or pansexual. To advance our understanding of how marginalized identities may be associated with social camouflaging, we examined self-reported social camouflaging using the Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire in a sample of autistic adults (N=462). After matching participants for assigned sex at birth and age, and after controlling for these effects in modeling, we found that sexual minority autistic adults reported significantly higher levels of social camouflaging relative to heterosexual autistic adults. We situate these findings within literatures on social camouflaging, minority stress, and stigma.
On the Intersection of Analytical Sociology and Computational Social Science
Authors: Arvidsson Martin , Hedström Peter , Jarvis Benjamin , Keuschnigg Marc
Published: June 2024

Analytical sociology is concerned with mechanism-based explanations of collective phenomena in socially interdependent systems. Social interdependencies make identifying the processes that generate collective outcomes a challenging task, however, and their study typically requires research designs that differ from those traditionally used by sociologists. The availability of time-stamped networked datasets, the rapid progress in computational power, and the development of new methodological tools in the field of computational social science have enabled detailed analyses of large populations of interacting individuals in different social environments. This has, in turn, opened the door to detailed, empirically grounded investigations of the micro-level dynamics that give rise to macro-level phenomena. These advances are important because they help close the gap between theoretical and empirical work in sociology, in ways that should be instructive for the field of computational social science.

INVESTIGATION OF THE ABILITY OF JUTE AND GLASS HYBRIDS ENHANCED TO RESIST PENETRATION BY LOW-VELOCITY IMPACT
Authors: H. Khalaf Mohammed , Dawood Salman Suhad , Leman Zulkiflle , Faraj Alkbir Munir , Januddi Fatihhi
Published: June 2024

The penetration resistance under low-impact loading (at various levels) of jute/ glass fibers reinforced polyvinyl butyral composite materials composed of various types of natural fibers (with various layers sequences and fibers ratios has been studied. The impact experiments used three different energy levels (50.03, 62.53, and 75.04 joules). Furthermore, tensile tests were performed on all composite materials, and the results were entered into the numerical analysis program (ABAQUS / Explicit) Dynamic 19, where the force-time and absorbed energy relationship results were obtained. The numerical results for all of the composite materials agreed with the experimental results. The results revealed that the hybrid laminate 2G2J is found to have the highest impact resistance ability (644N) when compared to the impact resistance ability of all laminates, at the same energy level. Furthermore, for all laminates, the results curve shows stairs failure beyond the maximum impact load indicating that these laminates can still sustain some load, due to structural integrity.

Authors: Quick Stephen M. , Snowdon David A. , Lawler Katherine , Soh Sze-Ee , McGinley Jennifer L. , Hunter Susan W. , Callisaya Michele L.
Published: June 2024

Purpose:

To determine (1) what dementia education is provided to entry-to-professional practice physiotherapy students in Canada and Australia; (2) how this education is delivered; and (3) the challenges in delivering this education.

Methods:

A designated education provider from each university who offered entry-to-professional practice physiotherapy programs received a web-based questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative content analysis.

Results:

Responses from 30/36 eligible universities resulted in 35 physiotherapy programs included for analysis. Canadian programs had a median of 5.5 hours (range, min-max, 0.5–13.0 hours), and Australia 4.0 hours (range, min-max, 2.0–22.0 hours) of dementia education. Lectures and tutorials were the most common method of delivery. There were varying amounts of education on topics such as cognition, communication, and behavioural symptoms and strategies. Challenges included dementia being difficult to teach, student stigma about people with dementia, difficulty providing students with real-life exposure to people with dementia, engaging students in the topic, and integrating dementia education into full programs.

Conclusion:

Dementia education across programs varies, with some programs lacking content on key topics such as cognitive, communication, and behavioural symptoms and strategies. These results may help physiotherapy accreditation organizations and universities develop dementia education standards and content.
Modeling of distribution of pressure in a heterogeneous oil-bearing reservoir
Authors: Lubkov М. V. , Mosiichuk К. О.
Published: June 2024

For the non-stationary problem of piezoconductivity, a numerical model of pressure distribution in an oil reservoir isproposed, which is based on a combination of well-known finite difference and finite element methods. The output data take into account the heterogeneity of the distribution of filtration characteristics across the reservoir. The pressure distributions obtained in this way correlate well with already-known ideas about reservoir operation at a late stage of development. A version of the calculation scheme with injection wells is considered. The results of calculations are visualized in the form of three-dimensional diagrams of reservoir pressure distribution. Recommendations are given for choosing a rational field development technology at a late stage of exploitation in order to increase the oil recovery rate in a heterogeneous reservoir.
Exploring the Efficacy of Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Authors: Rhodes Alyssa
Published: June 2024

Exposure and response prevention therapy (EX/RP) is a well-established treatment method for combatting intrusive obsessions and repetitive, time-consuming compulsions that classify obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Through therapist encouragement and self-monitoring, individuals confront their compulsive fears, in vivo or imaginal, without the ability to alleviate anxiety through obsessive behaviours. The following paper's purpose is to evaluate the efficacy of this therapy and its components for treating individuals diagnosed with OCD. Research showed that response prevention had a promising impact on those as young as 11. Other research emphasized the positive effects of EX/RP on all ages contingent on patients' ability to adhere to the therapy techniques, specifically response prevention. Moreover, studies have found that this singular type of therapy had more effectiveness and fewer disadvantages than other types of anxiety therapies, biological therapies, or integrative therapies. Cumulatively, the studies supported and affirmed EX/RP as a leading treatment method for OCD on the grounds of its efficacy.

THE TRANSATLANTIC WORLD OF HIGHER EDUCATION
Authors: Werner Anja
Published: June 2024

Between the 1760s and 1914, thousands of young Americans crossed the Atlantic to enroll in German-speaking universities, but what was it like to be an American in, for instance, Halle, Heidelberg, Göttingen, or Leipzig? In this book, the author combines a statistical approach with a biographical approach in order to reconstruct the history of these educational pilgrimages and to illustrate the interconnectedness of student migration with educational reforms on both sides of the Atlantic. This detailed account of academic networking in European educational centers highlights the importance of travel for academic and cultural transformations in nineteenth-century America.
THE DEATH OF THE BIG MEN AND THE RISE OF THE BIG SHOTS
Authors: Martin Keir
Published: June 2024

In 1994, the Pacific island village of Matupit was partially destroyed by a volcanic eruption. This study focuses on the subsequent reconstruction and contests over the morality of exchanges that are generative of new forms of social stratification. Such new dynamics of stratification are central to contemporary processes of globalization in the Pacific, and more widely. Through detailed ethnography of the transactions that a displaced people entered into in seeking to rebuild their lives, this book analyses how people re-make sociality in an era of post-colonial neoliberalism without taking either the transformative power of globalization or the resilience of indigenous culture as its starting point. It also contributes to the understanding of the problems of post-disaster reconstruction and development projects.
GREEK WHISKY
Authors: Bampilis Tryfon
Published: June 2024

In many contexts of Greek social life, Scotch whisky has coincidentally become a symbol of “Greekness,” national identity, modernity, and the middle class. This ethnographic study follows the social life of Scotch in Greece through three distinct trajectories in time and space in order to investigate how the meanings of the beverage are projected, negotiated, and acquired by various different networks. By examining the mediascapes of the Greek cultural industry, the Athenian nightlife and entertainment, and the North Aegean drinking habits, the study illustrates how Scotch became associated with modernity, popular music and culture, a lavish style, and an antidomestic masculine mentality.
STATE PRACTICES AND ZIONIST IMAGES
Authors: Wesley David A.
Published: June 2024

Although the Israeli state subscribes to the principles of administrative fairness and equality for Jews and Arabs before the law, the reality looks very different. Focusing on Arab land loss inside Israel proper and the struggle over development resources, this study explores the interaction between Arab local authorities, their Jewish neighbors, and the agencies of the national government in regard to developing local and regional industrial areas. The author avoids reduction to simple models of binary domination, revealing instead a complex, multi-dimensional field of relations and ever-shifting lines of political maneuver and confrontation. He examines the prevailing concept of ethnic traditionalism and argues that the image of Arab traditionalism erects imaginary boundaries around the Arab localities, making government incursion disappear from view, while underpinning and rationalizing the exclusion of the Arab towns from development planning. Moreover, he shows how images of environmental protection mesh with and support such exclusion. The study includes a chronology of events, tables, maps, and photographs.
Training in problem solving in kinematics at a modern children’s technology park

The article describes the issues of development and programming of robot manipulators based on robotics kits in a children’s technology park. It covers the fundamental knowledge elements from mathematics and mechanics for solving direct and inverse kinematics problems. A manipulator consists of several links and an end effector, which form kinematic pairs performing translational or rotational movements relative to each other. The direct kinematic problem involves calculating the coordinates of the end effector given the known values of the joint angles, while the inverse kinematics problem is the opposite, calculating the joint angles of the manipulator given the known coordinates of the end effector. Solving these problems requires knowledge of basic coordinate systems, the Pythagorean theorem, trigonometric functions and the cosine theorem, all of which are described in the article. The ability to solve kinematics problems is crucial for successful manipulator programming as a whole. The article also provides an example of converting step motor steps into end effector coordinates and discusses the dependence of manipulator accuracy on the characteristics of the step motor.
Modernist Collectivity in Evolution.
Authors: Pablos Adriana
Published: June 2024

At the start of the 20th century, the modernist residential district was designed as the new form for collective living to restructure society around modern productivity. Built in exponential numbers after World War II from 1945 to 1973, modernist residential districts engineered a universal collectivity based on the nuclear family and the minimal for existence. Today, this collectivity is culturally obsolete and physically aged. In the last quarter-century (1995-2020), we have witnessed an unprecedented number of modernist residential district adaptations worldwide. Following the analysis of one hundred case studies, this paper presents six distinct spatial strategies of adaptation: addition, subtraction, diversification, reprogramming, camouflage, and augmentation. Collectively, these strategies reveal how the universal, isotropic, and hegemonic modernist collectivity is splitting in multiple models driven by the specificity of the local sphere while preserving the modernist social capital: their communities.

Learning difficulties that occur during distance learning affect achievement in learning mathematics. This study was conducted to determine the difficulty of learning mathematics through distance education. This type of research is qualitative research. The research subjects were three grade XI students in Kp. Campaka, Garut. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires and interviews. The findings in this study were some of the learning difficulties experienced by students during distance learning in mathematics. These difficulties are difficulty in understanding the mathematical material presented, unstable internet connection, and a learning environment that is less supportive for distance learning to take place. These difficulties affect the psychological factors of students, especially students' interest in learning. The difficulties that arise in distance learning mathematics should be corrected to increase learning success.
