Implementasi Model CTL Berbantuan Benda Konkret Untuk Membangun Higher Order Thinking Skills
Authors: Sari Lilik , Hasanah Uswatun
Published: January 2024

Kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi menjadi salah satu keterampilan yang wajib dimiliki siswa abad 21. Kemampuan ini dapat dilatih melalui pembelajaran Matematika sebab siswa akan dilatih menyelesaikan permasalahan, dan berpikir secara kritis. Namun, sering kali pembelajaran yang terjadi saat ini masih bersifat transmisif (hanya transfer ilmu dari guru ke siswa). Oleh sebab itu, kondisi seperti ini guru dituntut untuk bisa merencanakan pembelajaran bermakna bisa dengan menggunakan model, metode, atau media yang sesuai materi. Salah satu model yang dapat diterapkan pada pembelajaran Matematika adalah model CTL karena pada model ini, pembelajaran akan dikaitkan secara langsung dengan kehidupan nyata. Penerapan model CTL bisa dilakukan dengan berbagai bantuan media baik berbasis ICT atau konvensional. Media konvensional salah satunya yaitu benda konkret, implementasi model CTL berbantuan benda konkret akan menciptakan pembelajaran Matematika yang semakin kontekstual. Penerapan model CTL berbantuan benda konkret diterapkan juga pada sekolah favorit di kabupaten Nganjuk yaitu MI Darul Muta’allimin. Oleh sebab itulah, peneliti tertarik untuk menggali data lebih dalam terkait implementasi model CTL berbantuan benda konkret dalam membangun HOTS siswa. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif. Hasil dari penelitian ini yakni penerapan model CTL dengan berbantuan benda konkret efektif dalam meningkatkan hasil belajar dan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi siswa.

Authors: Adona Fitri , Nita Sri , Yusnani Yusnani
Published: January 2024

The lack focus on brand positioning and brand identity in Indonesia, especially in creative industries based on local uniqueness, reflects a lack of development and competitiveness. This research critically evaluates the sustainable development of Padang City city branding with a focus on the role of leaders as boundary spanners in maintaining the sustainability of city branding and building brand awareness. Although required to create uniqueness, Padang City Branding is still influenced by the previous city branding development discourse, causing a lack of specifications and similarities with other cities in West Sumatra. Although the majority of the population is Muslim, the concept of halal tourism has not been created well. This study aims to understand the role of leaders in each institution as boundary spanners in maintaining the sustainability of city branding. As boundary spanners, leaders in each institution are considered central in maintaining the existence of city branding and building efficient policy networks. Observation-participating research methods using the Internet assist researchers in interacting with boundary spanners and understanding culture from the perspectives of its members. This research yields in-depth insights into the leader's key role as a boundary spanner in the context of Padang City city branding.

Authors: Rybak-Karkosz Olivia
Published: January 2024

In this paper, the author aims to analyse the types of crimes committed in cyberspace against creators and owners of NFT. Non-fungible tokens have been favored by the art world (also known as the crypto-art market) for a few years now. They attract numerous digital art creators and cryptocurrency investors. The token is recorded in a blockchain and is used to certify authenticity and ownership. Therefore, the art world is particularly interested in this solution. However, as practice shows, NFT isn’t flawless, and cybercriminals exploit its flaws. Using methods known from typical cybercrimes, they modify their modus operandi accordingly to the crypto-art market practice. In this paper, the author describes examples of breaches of copyright and intellectual property law, as well as examples of the forgery of NFT. In addition, other crimes, such as fraud and theft of NFT, are described. Types of those crimes are, e.g., bypass security systems, phishing, and installation of malware
Wpływ cyberzagrożeń na funkcjonowanie organizacji
Authors: Tuz Michał
Published: January 2024

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest badanie przygotowania organizacji na cyberzagrożenia wewnętrzne. Z roku na rok popełniane są coraz bardziej wyrafinowane cyberprzestępstwa, a skala tych zdarzeń rośnie zarówno w wymiarze ilościowym, jak i jakościowym. Kradzione są coraz większe kwoty pieniężne, pozyskuje się coraz więcej poufnych informacji, a skutki pojedynczych ataków stają się coraz poważniejsze. Organizacje są coraz bardziej atrakcyjnym celem dla cyberprzestępców. Celem zarówno bezpośrednim, jak i traktowanym jako punkt wyjścia dla większych ataków. Stawia je to pod ogromną presją, szczególnie jeżeli chodzi o wybór i aktualizację stosowanych narzędzi oraz praktyk dotyczących bezpieczeństwa. Aktualny krajobraz biznesowy sprawia, że każda organizacja jest potencjalnie zagrożona – niezależnie od jej rozmiaru. Rozwój technologii informacyjnych i komunikacyjnych spowodował wyjątkową łatwość dostępu do informacji i wymiany informacji. Ta będąca wynikiem rewolucji informatycznej dostępność informacji stworzyła podstawę dla integracji wiedzy, technologii, gospodarki i kultury, ewoluując w efekcie w kierunku społeczeństwa informacyjnego. Informacja stała się zasadniczym dobrem ekonomicznym, warunkując rozwój społeczny, ale także niosąc dla tego rozwoju istotne zagrożenia społeczne, gospodarcze czy kulturowe. Rozwój społeczeństwa informacyjnego oraz coraz nowsze technologie w systemach teleinformatycznych, wprowadzają oprócz oczywistych korzyści, również zagrożenia dotyczące bezpieczeństwa zarówno samych systemów, jak i przetwarzanych oraz przesyłanych z ich wykorzystaniem informacji. Najczęściej wyróżnianymi formami zagrożeń teleinformatycznych są: haking, haktywizm, cyberprzestępczość, cyberterroryzm, cyberszpiegostwo, wykorzystanie cyberprzestrzeni do prowadzeni działań zbrojnych czy wreszcie skutki niekontrolowanego użycia Internetu w sferze społecznej. W artykule zaprezentowano rodzaje cyberataków, nowe modele i techniki działania cyberprzestępców oraz wyniki badań własnych dotyczących cyberzagrożeń w 500 organizacjach
„Who and When Will Articulate Us?… And Them?” Polyphony in Wacław Berent’s Rotten Wood
Authors: Milan Rafał
Published: January 2024

Wacław Berent’s novel Rotten Wood has often been described as polyphonic by literaryhistorians. Critical voices expressed at the time of Young Poland (Włast-Komornicka,Brzozowski) and Berent’s own comments shed light on the expectationsof the reading public when the novel was published. They were infl uenced by the popularityof symbolism its underlying worldview – spiritualistic monism. This helps explainthe tension between the polyphony of Rotten Wood and the views on art and creationarticulated by its characters, most importantly concerning the identifi cation of art withacting. On the one hand, the dramatic form of the novel seems to embody the ideaof the momentary transcending of the past and its limits, but on the other, it can be seenas a response to the concepts formulated in the novel’s dialogues. The signifi canceof another’s word and dialogical relationships between different levels of text connectsthe poetics of Rotten Wood to polyphony in the Bakhtinian sense.
Specters and Cryptonyms of Return. Polyphony in the Postmemorial Novel Sefer by Ewa Lipska
Authors: Dąbrowski Bartosz
Published: January 2024

The article discusses polyphonic narrative strategies typical of postmemorial prose on the exampleof Ewa Lipska’s novel Sefer, framing it through references to Bakhtin’s categories of polyphony,non-co-presence and the two-voice word, on the one hand, and to concepts of postmemory (MarianneHirsch’s category) and hauntontology (Jacques Derrida’s concept), Nicolas Abraham andMária Török’s cryptological theory, and the Freudian metapsychology of the secret, on the other.The polyphonic nature of the text refl ects the dynamics of intergenerational transmission of trauma,revealing a subjectivity haunted by traces of violence that take the form of extensive allusions andtextual tropes. Lipska deconstructs the postmemorial model of the narrative of return, questioningthe reparative abilities of acts of imagination.

To Restore The Voice: Polyphony in Joyce Carol Oates’s The Gravedigger’sDaughter
Authors: Leśnik Zofia
Published: January 2024

The article addresses the problem of polyphony in Joyce Carol Oates’s novel The Gravedigger’sDaughter. Polyphony is considered not only as a procedure related to textual poetics, but a startingpoint for placing the compositional and stylistic organization of a literary work in the contextof the assumptions of pragmatism and posthumanism. The category derived from Bakhtin’s theorycan be used to conceptualize the phenomenon of „voices”, a form of constructing the identityof the novel’s protagonist. „Voices” are quotations of thoughts and statements of other characters inthe work, penetrating the inner life of the main character. Multi-voice subjectivity, which is suggestedby the procedure of „quoting” voices, establishes a version of identity which is highly dialogical,indeterminate, dynamic and unstable. The world presented in the novel is likely to imply contradictory,ambiguous ideas as to whether American social life supports or prevents individual freedom.Polyphonic subjectivity in Oates’ novel entails the acceptance of the pluralism and indeterminacyof the presented world and of the dialogical, incomplete identity of the characters. Thus, the literaryform develops an epistemology and an aesthetics equivalent to the philosophical stances of pragmatismand posthumanism. Tracing the „voices” scattered throughout the work requires so muchcognitive effort from the reader that it makes them a co-participant in the process of meaning--making.

Published: January 2024

A vizsgálat célja: Elemzésünk célja volt költség-hasznosság elemzés keretén belül összehasonlítani a jelenleg alkalmazott (Pap teszt) és az újonnan bevezetésre kerülő méhnyakrák szűrési módszertant (LBC/HPV). Anyag és módszer: A bevezetésre kerülő új méhnyakrák szűrési program költség-hatékonyságát egy prevalencia alapú Markov modell segítségével határoztuk meg. A bemeneti paramétereket nemzetközi tanulmányok, valamint a Központi Statisztikai Hivatal adataiból nyertük. A modellben alkalmazott bemeneti paraméterek bizonytalanságának modellre gyakorolt hatását érzékenység vizsgálat segítségével ellenőriztük. Eredmények: Az LBC/HPV kombinált szűrési módszertan 20 éves időtávon 87,72 milliárd forint többletköltség mellett 13 758 többlet QALY előállítását eredményezi, inkrementális költséghatékonysági rátája (ICER) 6 376 054 forint/QALY. Az új módszert alkalmazva 20 év alatt 1.806 elkerült halálozásra számíthatunk, ami évente átlagosan 90 megmentett életet jelent. Következtetések: Az új szűrési módszertan költséghatékony alternatívát jelent a jelenleg alkalmazott Pap teszt alapú szűréssel szemben. A jövőben javasoljuk egészség-gazdaságtani elemzésünk eredményeinek összevetését más egészség-gazdaságtani modellek eredményeivel.

Published: January 2024

CBF3 gene is rapidly induced upon exposing plants to low temperature, followed by expression of CBF-targeted genes, the CBF regulon, resulting in an increase in plant freezing tolerance. It has been possible to engineer cold tolerance in transgenic plants by manipulating the expression of CBFs. In this attempt CBF3 gene has been isolated from Arabidopsis and cloned in binary vector (pCAMBIA0390) under the control of stress inducible rd29A promoter. CBF3 gene cloned pCAMBIA0390 and nptII gene containing pCAMBIA2200 vector DNA was transformed into the Agrobacterium strain LBA4404 that could be used to generate cold-tolerant transgenic plants for improving high altitude agriculture during cold stress.
