The Linear and Non-Linear Background Energy Approach in The Seismic S/N Ratio Enhancement
Authors: Ronoatmojo Imam Setiaji , Sutadiwiria Yarra , Burhannudinnur Muhammad , Syavitri Dewi
Published: November 2023

Side-swept is often understood as a side sweep of seismic waves that occurs on the surface. This understanding creates confusion when considering that side-swept is a part of linear function, in fact side-swept could be in the form of sweeping waves from the reflector on the side, so side-swept is a non-linear function like a signal. The implications for noise reduction with the t-p transformation becomes more complex. The elimination of side-swept in this study, relies on an application using an algorithm developed by Hampson (1987). Initial data conditioning preparation should be needed to clarify the difference between linear and non-linear functions through static refraction correction and velocity analysis, then coherent noise elimination (ground-droll) is carried out through f-k domain transformation, as well as random noise through f-x domain transformation. Side-swept is eliminated in t-p domain. Energy observation shows the remaining noise energy caused by coherent noise, random noise and non-linear side-swept functions. It proves that it is difficult to remove a non-linear function that overlaps the reflector signal. The best step is to minimize coherent (linear) noise and random noise by consistently using an amplitude correction indicator on the surface and performing velocity analysis especially for the suspected power spectrum as an effort to attenuate side-swept wave interference on the reflector signal. Finally, the signal restoration efforts due to non-linear noise attenuation, is carried out by surface consistent deconvolution
Polysomnography in patients with spinal cord injury who underwent robotic assisted gait training
Authors: Beata Tarnacka , Korczyński Bogumił
Published: November 2023

Introduction

Obstructive sleep apnea in spinal cord injured (SCI) patients is an important but underestimated clinical problem. Spinal cord injury weakens the muscles responsible for breathing, resulting in a reduction in lung capacity. Training of respiratory muscles may present an effective method of increasing respiratory muscle strength and lung volume.

Aim

The aim of study was to evaluate the effectiveness of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in 34 patients with SCI in sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) reduction.

Material and methods

We conducted a control trail to compare RAGT (exoskeleton EKSO-GT or Locomat Pro) with conventional gait training using conventional physiotherapy with dynamic parapodium. We included patients with SCI (above T8 level of injury) recruited between 3 months and 2 years post injury. Polysomnographic studies were performed before and after the completion of the 7-week rehabilitation program. Patients were divided into 2 groups above and up 40 years old.

Results and discussion

The comparison of all polysomnographic parameters before and after rehabilitation with RAGT revealed the decline in all polysomnographic parameters (the apnea-hypopnea index – AHI; score reached statistically significant value – P < 0.02). In comparison in patients aged up to 40 years with conventional gait rehabilitation the number of apnoea’s and shortness of breath during sleep even increased: the AHI index increased after rehabilitation from 1.7 to 3.2 values.

Conclusions

RAGT therapy should be considered as a therapeutic option for SDB reduction in patients after SCI. Additionally, the study identified the need to conduct further studies on larger groups of patients.

Authors: Aiswarya Thamanna  , Dr. R. Subramani
Published: November 2023

Folk arts in India possess a distinct identity, setting them apart from other art forms, and they serve a crucial social mission in creating and preserving cultural identities. The Gond tribe, one of India's largest tribal communities, resides predominantly in central India, particularly in the regions of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Over the past few decades, Gond paintings have gained global recognition and acclaim, primarily thanks to the work of artist Jangarh Singh Shyam. For many years, members of the Gond tribe have continued to practice and pass down this traditional art form through generations. The data for this study was collected using visual analysis and in-depth interviews. The study aims to analyze the representation of everyday life in Gond paintings and examine viewers' perceptions of these artworks. The study's results demonstrate that Gond art vividly expresses the essence of the culture in all its vibrant hues. Gond paintings are a form of storytelling folk art, providing a captivating gateway to a world of imagination and astonishment. These artworks utilize a distinctive style characterized by multi-hued and dot-bright techniques to portray various aspects of Gond culture and everyday activities through indigenous communication.

Published: November 2023

This study aims to ascertain how grade XI students at SMAN 8 Mataram's mind mapping assignment affects their capacity for original thought and their grasp of biological ideas. On samples chosen by random sampling, this study employed a pretest-posttest control group design and a quasi-experiment. While written assessments in multiple-choice questions were used to get information on topic mastery, mind-mapping assignments were used to gather information on students' creative thinking abilities. The findings demonstrated that mind-mapping exercises significantly impacted students' comprehension of biological topics and enhanced their capacity for creative thought, moving them from less creative to highly creative criteria. Pearson correlation test results showed a positive relationship between creative thinking skills and students' mastery of biological concepts in the medium correlation category. Mind mapping assignment has a positive influence in improving creative thinking skills and mastery of biological concepts of high school students, where students become more creative by simply connecting their prior knowledge with subsequent knowledge.

Most studies on bariatric surgery identify personal factors such as “non-compliance” to lifestyle changes as the cause of weight gain and subsequent inability to lose weight. Prior qualitative studies suggest that weight loss patients have complicated relationships with both self and weight, with significant emotional and psychological implications. But how do patients themselves understand the trajectories of their weight gain as related to intrinsic versus extrinsic factors? A qualitative analysis examined the aspects involved in the construction of higher body weight from the perspectives and life experiences of Brazilian women who underwent bariatric surgery, considering that Brazil has previously been reported as a highly anti-fat society. Individual, semi-structured interviews were conducted with thirty women (15 aged 33-59 and 15 aged 63-72). Data were analyzed identifying the regular, expressive, and meaningful significance units identified through the interviews. Although it was expected that different life events were reported as crucial to the perceived aetiology of individual weight gain stories, the participants reported that the emotional aspects had more impact. The extremely high value attached to having a particular body weight negatively influenced the participants’ concept of identity and harmed their interactions and understanding of what it meant to be fully loved and accepted. Most of the participants underscored the importance of food in women’s lived experiences and explanations of weight gain. Despite this somatic response being dysfunctionally directed to food, this mechanism seemed to be vital to keeping them alive and engaged in the world. Finally, the participants faced layered vulnerabilities, which decreased their opportunities to access resources aimed at better body weight management. Broad approaches that consider emotional and physical care strategies must be proposed to this population.

In this article, we examine Finnish language education in relation to the historical developments of promoting equality in Finnish education policy. We focus on language education in basic education and discuss this topic through the lens of three cases: the comprehensive school reform, projects to develop language education, and heritage language teaching. Although, in international comparison, the Finnish educational system has good outcomes for certain equality measures (e.g., small differences in student achievement between schools), many aspects of equality have been overlooked. In addition, success in PISA and achieving European goals of mother tongue plus two languages may have caused a certain level of complacency or reluctance to develop the educational system. When striving for justice and equality in language education, it is important to understand the historical and societal structures that have maintained and reproduced inequality up to today.

Published: November 2023

Increased migration and mobility have had a significant impact on (multilingual) family lives and led to the influx of multilingual children in schools in Finland. This article approaches the home-school space as an interflow of discourses and identities. It focuses on processes and discourses circulating through and around multilingual families – on the meso level of social activity. The article illustrates how the meso level (i.e., family and school) is shaped by and connected with the macro and micro levels, such as a representation of multilingual families in the Official Statistics Finland and teacher/parent-child interaction. The article introduces two theoretical approaches in the research of family multilingualism and discusses how multilingualism can be approached in the fluid and interconnected domains of family and school. It concludes by illustrating some gaps between home and school in relation to family multilingualism and provides some suggestions as to how to overcome them.
Monikielisen toimijuuden tukeminen koulun toimintayhteisössä
Authors: Lehtonen Heini , Ahlholm Maria , Suuriniemi Salla-Maaria , Tiermas Anne
Published: November 2023

This chapter discusses multilingual agency and its construction in the school. Regarding multilingualism, we describe five discursive spaces that organize interaction in the communities of practice: monolingualism, parallel monolingualism, situational multilingualism, institutional multilingualism, and a hybrid space with new ethnicities. The teacher’s actions and the chosen pedagogical approach transform the discursive and spatial norms; transforming norms and practices go hand in hand. The teacher can facilitate individual students in becoming autonomous agents, in interaction with the community. Developing multilingual agency requires student reflection, and dynamic feedback provided by the teacher. Including pupils with different backgrounds in learning is crucial in times of transnational lives. Thus, the practices of the school communities must be grounded in social justice and equity. Translanguaging and linguistically responsive pedagogies offer inquiry-based practices for inclusive language education that supports the pupils’ multilingual selves and language ownership.

While student diversity is increasing, it is crucial for teachers to be aware of how to recognize the importance and potential of the language background and existing skills that their students bring with them. This article presents some research findings and data excerpts on how these are reflected in the learners’ opportunities for participation in interaction and various activities in learning communities. The theoretical framework consists of ecological and usage-based approaches that have served as a basis for pedagogies that center multilingual repertoires, language awareness and social interaction at the core of language learning. The perspective adopted in the article is primarily that of individual learners who are learning Finnish as their second language. Some future prospects in the field of language education are also discussed with regard to the increasing student diversity and the need for ensuring equitable language learning opportunities for all.
UTILIZING BRAINLY AS A SOCIAL QUESTION-AND-ANSWER (Q&A) SERVICE IN ENGLISH LEARNING MATERIALS: BENEFITS AND LIMITATIONS
Authors: Fitria Tira Nur
Published: November 2023

This study describes Brainly as a social question-and-answer (Q&A) service in English learning and finds the positive and negative impacts on teachers and students. This research is descriptive qualitative. The analysis shows that using Brainly is easy. We can open Brainly at https://Brainly.co.id/. If we do not have an account, we can register using Gmail, then log in using the Brainly account. To make a question, click "Let's Ask", write down the questions, select the points to be rewarded to the answerers, choose the type of subject matter then click "Ask a Question". To answer a question, click the question to be answered in the "our answer" column fill in the answer, and click "Add Answer". Answering questions will add to our points. Based on previous studies, using Brainly have a positive and negative impact. Positively, teachers can convey concepts to their students simply and ability to connect students with education experts. Besides, students can add insight into knowledge which affects students' learning interests and learning outcomes. They can get answers and references and interact with each other to add answers or can be mutually correct. Brainly can provide easy content and is easily accessible to the student, this site is more practical compared to other educational sites, facilitate students in doing homework, can be used as an alternative to communicate virtually, and can be a learning resource and motivation simultaneously. Negatively, using Brainly creates students’ laziness to read books, reduces effectiveness in learning activities, generates dependency on Q&A technology, and familiarizes students to be passive to get an answer instantly. It impacts the teacher’s inability to control the students who used books or websites. However, further research certainly still needs to be done related to the level of accuracy of the answers given to the answerers on Brainly.
Slow Tourism Project to Redistribute Tourist Demand in Lazio: Cost-Benefit Analysis Using Monte Carlo Simulation
Authors: Angelaccio Michele , Hajiyeva Ulviyya
Published: November 2023

This paper examines the potential financial advantages and disadvantages of a project called Feudo Turistico, which proposes the establishment of a slow tourism destination between Rome and Fiuggi. The objective of the project is to reduce the concentration of tourist demand in the city centers of Rome and Fiuggi and instead distribute it across the Lazio region by providing a local cultural and active tourism experience with new services that are currently unavailable in the region. To assess the project’s feasibility, a cost-benefit analysis is conducted using Monte Carlo Simulation with 10,000 trials. This method allows for obtaining the net present value, internal rate of return, and discounted payback period for each simulated combination of input variables and then exploring the location and dispersion of these indicators. A simple random sampling technique is employed to simulate different sets of input parameters using a factor range between pessimistic and optimistic scenarios, where minimum and maximum values are determined based on existing literature, historical data in statistical reports of research institutions, and calculations derived from this data. Furthermore, two different settings are considered regarding the initial distribution of input parameters, and their outcomes are compared. The results and distribution of net present value, internal rate of return, and discounted payback period indicate that the Feudo Turistico project possesses a financially self-sufficient business model, generating cash flows that can repay the initial investment within a few years with a high probability. Keywords: slow tourism, cost-benefit analysis, discounted cash flow, Monte Carlo Simulation

Membangun kesadaran ekologis melalui pendidikan kristiani: Studi kasus pada mahasiswa IAKN Manado
Authors: Poluan Agnes Relly
Published: November 2023

Various natural disasters recently have shown how important it is to build awareness of ecology within the framework of a life of faith. The importance of this awareness has also given rise to ecotheological studies within Christian religious universities. This research aims to analyze the ecological awareness of IAKN Manado students by applying qualitative research methods through a case study approach. The research results reveal that ecological awareness in the IAKN Manado environment is still limited to particular groups, namely some lecturers and staff, where this awareness is stimulated by appeals, warnings, and supervision from leaders regarding the campus environment. In contrast, among students, this awareness is still low. This is due to the understanding that ecological issues are social problems unrelated to Christian faith and spirituality. AbstrakBeragam peristiwa bencana alam yang terjadi akhir-akhir ini telah memperlihatkan betapa kesadaran akan ekologi sangat penting dibangun dalam kerangka hidup beriman. Pentingnya kesadaran tersebut juga telah memunculkan kajian-kajian ekoteologis di lingkungan perguruan tinggi keagamaan Kristen. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kesadaran ekologi mahasiswa IAKN Manado, dengan menerapkan metode penelitian kualitif melalui pendekatan studi kasus. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa kesadaran ekologis di lingkungan IAKN Manado masih terbatas pada kelompok tertentu, yakni pada sebagian dosen dan pegawai, yang mana kesadaran tersebut distimilasi oleh himbauan, teguran, dan pengawasan dari pimpinan terkait kebersihan lingkungan kampus. Sementara itu, di kalangan mahasiswa, kesadaran tersebut masih rendah. Hal ini disebabkan pemahaman terhadap persoalan ekologi merupakan masalah sosial dan tidak terkait dengan iman dan spiritualitas kristiani.

Bu araştırma, iletişim araştırmaları alanındaki evrimi ayrıntılı bir şekilde analiz ederek, iletişim disiplininin tarihsel bağlam içinde nasıl şekillendiğini ve günümüzdeki önemli trendleri nasıl yansıttığını ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu doğrultuda bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle; 1992-2023 yılları arasında SSCI, SCIE, AHCI, CPCI veri tabanında yayınlanmış 222 makalenin analizi gerçekleştirilmiş ardından içerik analizi uygulanmıştır. Bibliyometrik analiz sonucunda elde edilen veriler Türkiye’deki iletişim araştırmalarının Covid-19 ile arttığını ve sosyal medyanın kitle iletişim araçlarına etkinlik kazandırdığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca iletişim araştırmalarının sadece iletişimle sınırlı kalmayarak psikoloji, eğitim, sağlık, sosyal alanlar, politika gibi alanlarda da disiplinler arası yoğun çalışma sirkülasyonu olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
Will the U.S. Fall into Polybius's Trap?
Authors: Yu Chen
Published: November 2023

As the United States grapples with political polarization, social unrest, and challenges to democratic norms, the specter of ochlocracy, or the rule of the mob, looms as a potential threat to the country's democratic institutions. Drawing on the insights of the ancient Greek historian Polybius, who warned of the transition from democracy to ochlocracy, this article examines the contemporary American landscape through the lens of "Polybius's Trap." By analyzing historical and current events, including the Occupy Wall Street movement, the Black Lives Matter protests, the rise of populist leaders, and the January 6th Capitol riot, this article seeks to identify signs of ochlocracy in American politics and assess the risks of democratic erosion. Ultimately, the article aims to provoke critical reflection on the state of American democracy and the potential perils of succumbing to Polybius's trap.
From Disruptive Protests to Disruptive Framing? Comparing German News on Fridays for Future and Letzte Generation

This paper examines whether disruptive climate protests are debated and portrayed differently from conventional protests in news outlets with different political leanings. Analyzing 6,632 articles from 21 ideologically diverse German sources between January 2022 and May 2023, we use Word2Vec for semantic mapping and transformer-based classifiers to assess frames, emotions, and toxicity in coverage of the "The Last Generation" and "Fridays For Future" movements. These movements, while united in cause, differ in how they protest. We find that news frames of the less disruptive "Fridays For Future" varies predictably across the ideological spectrum, with right-wing outlets presenting protesters as extreme or criminal while other outlets also debate climate justice and thus follow the movement’s own framing to some extent. However, when it comes to covering the more disruptive "Last Generation," the entire news media landscape engages in an angry and toxic debate that portrays the protesters as extremists and criminals, while barely discussing the actual cause of the protesters. The uniform negativity when covering disruptive protests suggests a spillover of framing and language style from extreme right-wing to mainstream media. Our results thus uncover how rightwing populist actors generally push anti-protest frames that are then adopted by a broader media landscape when discussing more disruptive protest movements. The findings highlight the significant risks for climate movements employing disruptive tactics and the responsibility of journalists to preserve nuance when covering such protests.
From Disruptive Protests to Disrupted Networks? Analyzing Levels of Polarization in the German Twitter Discourses around “Fridays for Future” and “The Last Generation”

Examining how different forms of climate protest impact social media discourses is critical for understanding their role within climate policy debates. This study compares debates surrounding disruptive and non-disruptive movements on Twitter, asking whether they lead to a juxtaposition of competing climate policy positions or instigate ideologically and affectively polarized discourses. We analyze Twitter debates around two prominent German climate movements – Fridays for Future and the ‘Last Generation’ – employing automated content and network analyses (N=~5,000,000), as well as manual content analyses (N=3,000) on data compiled during 2022 and 2023. We thereby identify the types of (extreme) frames of protest events, central users, and interaction patterns integrated within the network that shape and maintain the online debates’ structure. The results demonstrate a consistent relationship between user networks, attitudes, and frame distribution across both debates, suggesting that all forms of climate protest stimulate online discursive polarization. These tensions facilitate the emergence of antagonist counterpublics, which criticize the protesters and their demands. The discourse surrounding the Last Generation, however, shows a significantly higher number of antagonist users, more extreme frames, less diverse network clusters, and more toxic cross-group interaction. These processes seem to be accompanied by significantly higher amounts of posts, suggesting that debates on the Last Generation's protests effectively draw attention to climate policy goals, albeit at the cost of increasing the antagonist communities’ size and generating a more polarized debate that evenly divides users into two distinct camps, with less political, civil society, and journalistic actors being on their ‘side’. The broader implications of these findings are discussed.
Keystone Symposium Antibodies as Drugs 2019 – New Horizons in the Therapeutic Use of Engineered Antibodies

Published: November 2023

The Keystone Symposium “Antibodies as Drugs” is one of the most well established events in the yearly confer-ence schedule for therapeutic antibodies. From April 7 -11, 2019 ca. 240 researchers from industry and academia including 40 graduate students and postdocs from 18 countries assembled in Breckenridge, Colorado for the Key-stone conference “Antibodies as Drugs: New Horizons in the Therapeutic Use of Engineered Antibodies”. This event was organized and chaired by Christian Klein, Zurich, Mark Cragg, Southampton and Germaine Fuh, San Francisco. The plenary sessions were complemented by >70 abstracts presented in the poster session, short talks in the plenary sessions, and two dedicated workshops focusing on the use of therapeutic antibodies in oncology and immunology. The conference highlighted the growing prevalence of engineered antibodies e.g. antibody drug con-jugates, bispecific antibodies and multi-specific fusion proteins for application in various diseases ranging from oncology and immunology to neurological disorders and infectious diseases. While such modalities were previ-ously mainly explored pre-clinically, during the past years they became mainstream, reaching the clinic and begin to change the development paradigm for therapeutic antibodies.

Rising shares of wind power and solar power in energy systems raises concerns overtheir land-use requirements (LURs) and associated impacts. Although abundantliterature is available on LURs of solar and wind power, existing estimates exhibit alarge variance, if not even inconsistency. This systematic review therefore evaluatespublished LURs for these technologies in the English scientific literature until early2023, in total 2,286 estimates. The choice of LUR estimates for renewable energiescauses significant variance in projections of total land required for the energytransition. In some cases, the associated variance is as large as variations due toscenario-based projections on the future deployment capacities of these technologiesglobally, thus, implying additional uncertainties for decarbonization. We find thatmethodological differences can explain the variance partly, but data documentation ispoor. We therefore call for improved standards in reporting LURs and provideguidelines for developing and applying LURs.
Changing for Real, Not Just for Pretend: A Proposed Framework for Understanding and Therapeutically Promoting Self-Honesty
Authors: Gorlin Eugenia Isabel
Published: November 2023

Self-deception—i.e., intentionally avoiding or distorting one’s awareness of reality—has received ample theoretical and empirical attention, whereas the field does not have so much as a term to describe the opposite practice: that of self-honesty—i.e., intentionally pursuing and maintaining one’s awareness of reality. Yet, as argued elsewhere (e.g., Gorlin & Schuur, 2019), this practice may be among the most crucial psychological concomitants of human agency and therapeutic change. Drawing on theory and research from across several disciplines concerned with motivated cognition, self-regulation, and psychotherapy, I propose a novel framework for understanding and promoting self-honesty as an explicit therapeutic target. I describe and illustrate a set of clinical recommendations arising from this framework, and summarize preliminary pilot results suggesting its feasibility and utility as an adjunct to exposure-based therapy for anxiety disorders. I then review points of convergence with a range of well-established therapeutic approaches, while also noting ways in which the proposed self-honesty framework extends or deviates from these approaches. Pending further empirical validation, this framework holds promise for increasing the reach and effectiveness of existing therapeutic approaches by inspiring and empowering clients to be more honest with themselves.
