Interaction Patterns During Block-based Programming Activities Predict Computational Thinking: Analysis of the Differences in Gender, Cognitive Load, Spatial Ability, and Programming Proficiency - Figures S1–S4
Authors: Yusuf Abdullahi , Noor Norah Md , Román-González Marcos
Published: July 2024

The recent advancement in computational thinking (CT) research has reported numerous learning benefits to school-age children. The long-standing perceived difficulty of computer programming has challenged the acquisition of CT skills from programming education. Several block-based programming environments (BBPEs) have been developed to reduce this difficulty and enhance active engagement in computational-related activities. Although numerous studies have examined students’ level of interactions during block-based programming modality (BPM) activities, a major gap in the literature is the paucity of research evidence reporting the association between these interactions and CT. This study, therefore, investigates the association between interaction patterns during BPM activities and CT skills. The present study employed a longitudinal approach where the same participants were observed over eight weeks. Thirty-five, second-year-level computer science and computer education students (mean age: 19.8; male = 23, female = 12) from a research university in Nigeria were recruited. Their computational activities over the study periods were video-recorded. The participants’ CT skills were collected using the computational thinking test and the computational thinking scale. Findings indicate four interaction patterns: learner–learner, learner–content, learner–teacher, and learner–distractor. Learner–learner and learner–content were prevalent. The interaction patterns significantly predict CT skills although significant differences exist across gender, cognitive load, spatial ability, and programming proficiency. The research has provided opportunities for educators to integrate BBPEs in learning programming and CT concepts. Although such integration is likely to occur with the help of strong educational policies, teachers are encouraged to cultivate the spirit of collaboration in students during programming activities.
El evangelio de Juan y el lector maniqueo de ‘conf’. VII
Authors: Turner Christina ,   Order of Augustinian Recollects
Published: July 2024

In the present article I investigate whether Augustine’s account of the books of the Platonists through the words of John’s prologue is linked to his grapple with Manichaean doctrine and worldview in Confessiones 7, I explore particularly whether his choice to treat the libri Platonicorum by quoting from John 1:1-16, a passage that defines his intellectual breakthrough in the narrative of book 7, is used as a subtle opportunity to defend the Catholic interpretation of scriptures against the Manichaean interpretation. This is especially in terms of certain doctrinal points in contention such as the nature of God and the soul (the spiritual rather than material realities), the triune God as Creator, and the role of Christ as the Word incarnate, where John becomes an important proof text. Moreover, I explore whether Augustine’s use of John forms part of an exercise to encourage readers of the Confessions including the potential Manichaean reader, to adopt this way of thinking about God. I finally draw some preliminary conclusions on the way in which an awareness of the Manichaean reader may have shaped Augustine’s rendering of John and consequently his formulation of this search for God and the role of Christ in Confessions 7.

Published: July 2024

Numerous studies indicate that patients often misuse topical corticosteroids due to insufficient information and self-administration. In India, these medications are often available over the counter without proper prescriptions, leading to irrational use. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding topical corticosteroids among dermatology outpatients. A prospective pre-post study was conducted among 100 dermatology outpatients using validated KAP questionnaires administered through face-to-face interviews. Following patient counselling with an information leaflet, the same questionnaires were completed again after one month. Results showed 53% of participants were women, 71% were aged 22 to 40, and 56% were graduates. Additionally, 49% had fair economic status, 80% were married, and 65% resided in rural areas. The most common adverse drug reaction was acne (31%), with 61% rated as "possible" on the Naranjo scale. Clobetasol propionate 0.05% was misused by 29% of participants, primarily for skin lightening (31%). Pharmacists were the primary information source (51%). Pre-test scores for knowledge, attitude, and perception were low (mean 1.46±1.61, 4.00±3.18, 1.46±1.61), but significantly improved post-test (mean 3.10±2.03, 6.00±2.96, 3.14±2.03) with p-values <0.05 Patient counselling significantly increased knowledge about topical corticosteroids.

This research aims to find out how the calculation of depreciation of fixed assets in order to fulfill tax obligations is in accordance with Law No.7 of 2021 and to find out how tax planning uses the fixed asset depreciation method for tax payments by PT. IR Structure of Papua. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative, namely by describing and analyzing existing situations and problems, especially regarding depreciation of fixed assets. The research results show that PT. IR Structure Papua uses the straight-line method in calculating depreciation of fixed assets, but this method cannot help in minimizing tax payments. Based on the calculations that have been carried out, if the company uses the declining balance method, it results in a greater depreciation expense so that the resulting tax will be lower. In tax planning, the declining balance method is more appropriate in minimizing income tax payments in the initial year of depreciation so that the company can make tax savings for other operational activities of the company. So, it is known that companies need to change depreciation methods so that tax planning in minimizing tax payments can be more effective.

Postmodernism Educational Philosophy (Curriculum Review, Learning Methods And The Role Of Teachers)
Authors: Assya'bani Ridhatullah , Noor Irfan , Iqbal Muhammad , Nasir Muhammad
Published: July 2024

Postmodernism educational philosophy is a view that criticizes and challenges the values and principles of modernism in the context of education. This study aims to explain the impact of postmodernism educational philosophy on three main aspects, namely curriculum, learning methods, and the role of teachers. In terms of curriculum, the postmodernist approach emphasizes diversity and plurality. The curriculum is no longer based on grand narratives or objective truths, but rather adapts to local contexts and student diversity. Education is directed at understanding various perspectives and diverse cultural stories. Learning methods in the educational philosophy of postmodernism emphasize the active participation of students. The learning process is no longer linear or authoritarian; Instead, teachers act as facilitators who encourage discussion, collaboration, and critical thinking. Understanding concepts is emphasized more than simply the acceptance of information. The role of teachers in the context of postmodernism has undergone significant changes. The teacher is no longer a single source of knowledge, but rather a mediator and facilitator. Teachers are expected to understand student diversity, respond to changes in society, and create an inclusive learning environment. This study uses a descriptive-analytical method by detailing the main concepts of postmodernism educational philosophy and applying them to the context of the curriculum, learning methods, and the role of teachers. Through analysis, it can be concluded that the educational philosophy of postmodernism is actually modernism itself which is actually used to criticize modernism itself to provide a change in the educational paradigm, emphasizing flexibility, participation, and recognition of diversity. The implication is the need for adjustments in educational practices to respond to the dynamics of contemporary society and prepare students to interact with a complex and varied world.

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have an important role in the Indonesian economy. Many studies on MSMEs are expected to improve the quality of the MSMEs themselves. Meanwhile, social media and online marketplaces are increasingly familiar to Indonesians who are technology and internet literate. Research on MSMEs marketing with social media and online marketplaces is always needed along with rapid technological advances. Therefore, researchers try to discuss how MSMEs in the fashion or clothing company category in Malang City utilize social media and online marketplaces for their marketing development. This research was conducted using a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. Phenomenology is a study intended to seek the essence or meaning of a phenomenon experienced by several research individuals. This research involved four micro-scale clothing MSMEs in Malang City. From the results of the interviews, it was found that all clothing MSME players in Malang City have used social media as a marketing tool.

Authors: Klemeshev Andrei P. ,   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Vorozheina Yana A. ,   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University
Published: July 2024

The article explores the concept of exclavity using the Kaliningrad region as an example. The authors analyse the concept of exclavity, identify its key attributes and the degree of their relevance, describe indicators of exclavity as well as factors influencing it. The main attributes of the Kaliningrad region’s exclavity are geographical separation and remoteness. The authors distinguish two types of exclavity, absolute (attributive) and relative (functional), identify strategies for overcoming absolute exclavity and offer functional solutions to the ‘access problem’. Among these solutions are extraterritorial corridors and transit regimes. Exclaves are viewed as unique border territories where the balance between the barrier and contact functions of the border serves as an indicator of relative exclavity. The authors analyse key factors relevant to absolute exclavity and its functional state: the geopolitical context, the exclave policy of the parent state, the condition of the exclave as a territorial unit, and the identity of its population. The study employs a range of methods and approaches, including logical analysis, case studies, and comparative analysis.

Published: July 2024

Traditional songs are useful in mobilising natives for genuine causes that promote the wellbeing of society, especially when the issue is life-threatening. This research was carried out to ascertain how traditional songs were used on Ashiwaves FM to curb the COVID-19 pandemic among Kwande residents in Benue State. The research adopted a survey method that relied on a questionnaire that was administered to 400 respondents using the Taro Yamane statistical formula. The theories used to anchor the research were Uses and Gratification and Agenda Setting, which explained how Kwande residents satisfied their need for deriving information and education on how to avoid contracting COVID-19 and how Ashiwaves Radio station repeatedly played traditional songs specifically meant for sensitising the public on the coronavirus, prompting people to think about it. Findings of the study revealed that Ashiwaves Radio station played traditional songs on their station (100%), which was useful in sensitizing Kwande residents to curb the spread of the pandemic. It was also discovered from the findings that the song by Rapizo (98%) was the most instrumental in educating Kwande residents to stay at home and avoid crowded areas (40%), wash their hands (24%), and maintain social distance (14%). The research concluded that traditional songs are essential to every ethnic group in carrying out sensitisation on health issues. Therefore, it is recommended that other ethnic groups in Nigeria also encourage their indigenous artists to compose songs that can be used for educating their locals in the wake of future health challenges to avert casualties.
SARS-CoV-2: Mapping its features that made it as a unique virus
Authors: Amara Amro Abd Al Fattah
Published: July 2024

SARS-CoV-2 has attracted the attention of nearly the whole world during the last four years. It is a Corona virus that is responsible for the deaths of millions. It is responsible for economic corruption in many countries. As a response, excessive vaccination programs were installed everywhere. But many variants are elevated, and the virus proves its ability to escape from the immune system because of different mutations. The progress in different scientific domains—instrumentation, bioinformatics, and the like—makes fast vaccine development easier. As a response, new strategies were introduced, including new vaccine production and administration strategies, genomic surveillance, immunopeptidome, gene sequencing, and the like, to enable the vaccine to cover all the targeted populations at the correct time and to install an early alarm system against any elevated new variants. This review contains more information about some important stations in the history of vaccine development and the strategies invented by scientists to control different viruses and other microbes. Some important issues that might influence the type of vaccine used for SARS-CoV-2 are addressed. They include their symptoms, the virus evasion of the innate immune system, the response of adaptive immunity, and the like. Although the world still needs to better understand the SARS-CoV-2 behavior to win the war against it, previous historical successful vaccine productions, important examples, and stations during the human struggle against the viruses are described and discussed.
Possible Role of Intermittent Fasting on Decreasing the Aging process on Well-controlled HIV patients on Antiretroviral therapy (ART)
Authors: Gnoni Martin L.
Published: July 2024

Despite effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) in controlling HIV, people living with HIV (PLWH) often experience chronic inflammation, accelerated aging, and a heightened risk for age-related diseases. This review explores the potential of Intermittent Fasting (InF) as a non-pharmacological intervention for HIV patients. InF is theorized to mitigate chronic inflammation by promoting gut microbiome health, reducing microbial translocation, enhancing mitochondrial function, and modulating the kynurenine pathway. The evidence suggests that InF may improve insulin sensitivity, reduce fat accumulation, and protect against neurocognitive decline. While more research, particularly clinical trials in HIV patients, is needed to confirm the safety and efficacy of InF, its multifaceted influence on gut health, immune function, and neuroprotection makes it a promising approach for improving the long-term health and quality of life of individuals living with HIV.

Se evaluó el efecto que causa sustituir 0%, 10% y 20% de concentrado comercial por desperdicio de comedor deshidratado (DCCD), en el comportamiento productivo y los perfiles metabólicos de cerdas en etapa de lactación. En el experimento se utilizaron 24 cerdas de cruzas tipo comercial: Yorkshire, Hampshire y Landrace. Los indicadores de medición fueron: peso y grasa dorsal al parto y destete en los vientres, número de lechones nacidos vivos y muertos, peso individual del lechón y de la camada al nacimiento, y peso individual y de la camada al destete. En relación con el peso y grasa dorsal de la cerda no hubo diferencias significativas (P<0.05). Con lo que respecta al peso de los lechones al nacimiento, para el tratamiento que contenían 0% y 10% (DCCD), con 1,846 y 1,897 g fueron considerados pesados, aunque para el tratamiento que contenía 20% de (DCCD) se encontraban dentro del rango promedio, con un peso de 1,709 g. Para la variable peso de los lechones al destete y la camada, no hubo diferencia significativa (P≥ 0.05) entre el tratamiento 1 y 2, mientras que para el tratamiento 3 sí se observó un bajo peso para los lechones y para el peso de la camada, en tanto que la pérdida de peso y grasa dorsal en cerdas fueron estadísticamente diferentes. En este trabajo se concluyó que la calidad de la dieta se refleja en la etapa productiva de la cerda y depende, en gran medida, del contenido de nutrientes presentes. El peso corporal y la grasa dorsal (mm) al parto y destete, así como el número y peso de los lechones, presentaron variaciones entre los tratamientos. Aunque el tamaño y peso de la camada fue inferior a lo deseable para el tratamiento que contenía DCCD. Al observar la productividad de las cerdas, que se midió en función del número de lechones nacidos vivos por camada y de lechones destetados, se concluyó que los parámetros que se obtuvieron se encuentran dentro de los rangos normales.

Background: Artificial intelligence technologies improve the learning environment; in the near future, they are expected to provide great benefits for students and teachers, in general, and for those with disabilities and their teachers, in particular.
Objective: This research has aimed at identifying the perceptions of special education teachers about the use of artificial intelligence in teaching students with disabilities as well as identifying the impact of some variables, such as the number of years of experience, disability category, or the school stage, on these perceptions.
Methods and Participants: The research was based on the descriptive approach. The research sample consists of 301 male and female teachers of students with disabilities from Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It includes 138 males and 163 females, divided into a group of special education programs. The research used a questionnaire on the perceptions of special education teachers about the use of artificial intelligence in educating students with disabilities.
Results: The research findings showed that these teachers' perceptions were mostly neutral, that there are differences in their perceptions due to the number of years of experience, and that there are no differences in their perceptions due to the disability category or school stage variable.
Conclusions: As artificial intelligence is considered one of the modern variables in the field of education for people with disabilities in the Arab environment, it is expected to support personal education, assistive technologies, data-based decision-making when teaching people with disabilities, and promoting inclusion.

Background: The application of topical medications to facilitate the healing process and prevent infection continues to be an essential component of treatment for all types of wounds. Methods: Silver nanoparticles loaded with sodium fusidate were produced through chemical reduction using trisodium citrate as the reducing agent. The silver nanoparticles were initially produced and then incorporated into a gel prepared using carbomer 940 and triethanolamine. The sodium fusidate-loaded silver nanoparticles were characterized by pH, polydispersity index (PDI), and globular diameter. Results: The novel formula exhibited a globular diameter of 668.2±0.2 nm, normal homogeneous dispersion (PDI, 0.567±0.002), and a pH of 6.2±0.05. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first sodium fusidate-loaded silver nanoparticles nano-drug delivery system. Its preclinical and clinical applications seem promising.

Background: Heavy training and football matches can negatively impact athletes' performance. This study aims to investigate the effects of Floatation-REST on the physical, physiological, and psychological recovery parameters of football players following plyometric training. Methods: The study involved 24 football players aged 20-26 from the amateur league in Bitlis, Turkey. Participants were divided into two groups: a control group (n=12) and a Floatation-REST group (n=12). After undergoing plyometric training, the control group watched a documentary video, while the Floatation-REST group received Floatation-REST therapy. Recovery effects were assessed through heart rate measurement, lactate, cortisol, myoglobin, creatine kinase, leukocytes, IL-6, TNF-alpha serum analyses, performance tests, and a psychological perception questionnaire. Results: Floatation-REST showed statistically significant positive effects on heart rate, lactate, creatine kinase, myoglobin, cortisol, and IL-6 levels. It also significantly reduced pain in the rectus femoris, tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, and achilles tendon, and improved speed (30 m), agility, and thrust force performances. Athletes in the Floatation-REST group reported decreased pain and enhanced performance according to the psychological perception questionnaire. Conclusion: The study demonstrates that Floatation-REST can be effectively used by football clubs as a new recovery method, offering benefits in physical and psychological recovery following intense training.
