A Study on the Reading Program in the Library of College －Focusing on G College Library Book Club ‘GAYA’
Authors: Lee Seokkyun
Published: July 2023

Under the task of cultivating professionals, the imbalance between vocational education and liberal arts education is deepening. In addition, compared to university libraries, the number of college libraries operating reading programs is small, and related research is lacking. Therefore, this study presents a library-centered reading program model for junior colleges and examines it through actual cases.The environment, readers, and cultural characteristics of junior colleges were examined, and a reading program that integrated reading and writing was constructed based on Mikhail Bakhtin's “dialogueism”. The reading program was designed according to the pre-, middle-, and post-reading stages, and was applied in the library of G College, after which the case studies were analyzed. The differences and significance of this study are as follows.First, a library-centered liberal arts reading program was presented at a junior college where vocational education was the main focus. Second, a reference model for the library reading program of colleges was presented. Lastly, the need for competence among college librarians tasked with educating students in reading was presented.

Authors: Kim Mikyung
Published: July 2023

This study aims to reveal the effectiveness and significance of PBL classes through the analysis of a PBL class case centered on community problem solving for education for sustainable development . This study utilized a case study of a PBL class in the course “Reading the World Made with Empathy,” which was designed under the theme of the 11th goal of the SDGs, “Sustainable Cities and Communities,” as a tool for analysis. The learning goal of the PBL class is to cultivate ESD core competencies through community problem solving project activities.The results of the t-test for the evaluation of ESD core competencies showed a significant difference in the mean values of competencies before and after the training, which proved that ESD core competencies improved after the training. There are three aspects of significance in the evaluation of reflection through the analysis of reflection records. First, through team activities of cooperation and feedback, the cognitive capacity of interconnectedness to relate local issues to oneself was expanded. Second, social responsibility and socio-emotional competencies were cultivated through field trips to allow for the students to deeply empathize with local issues and to get a sense of solidarity with the community. Third, the motivation and willpower to cultivate problem-solving skills and practical action capabilities were enhanced by deriving the results of the S-VALLEY project, which solved practical problems for the sustainable development of the region.Therefore, this community problem solving oriented PBL class is expected to provide meaningful implications for the expansion of ESD in universities and the development of practical education programs in terms of fostering the core competencies pursued by ESD and by encouraging participation and action in community activities.

Clandestinas: historias de lucha y resistencia contra la dictadura de Banzer en Bolívia (1973-1976)
Authors: Sebastián Rojas Javier
Published: July 2023

El presente trabajo reconstruye parte de los procesos de lucha y resistencia del Comité de Amas de Casa de Siglo XX durante las huelgas de 1975 y 1976 en Bolivia a partir de realizar un análisis desde los conceptos de subalternidad de Antonio Gramci, doble opresión de Silvia Federici, interseccionalidad desde la mirada de Sara Salem y multitemporalidad abigarrada de Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui. Buscando responder ¿Cuáles fueron las estrategias y las formas organizativas que se dieron las mujeres mineras en Siglo XX frente a la intervención, la persecución, las torturas, los asesinatos y la represión de la dictadura? ¿existe una dimensión que reconoce la multiplicidad de opresiones en tanto mujeres y trabajadoras mineras? ¿es el componente indígena otra dimensión de la opresión? ¿lo reconocen como tal? Para lo cual centra su metodología en el trabajo con fuentes orales secundarias, principalmente de mujeres mineras que han dejado su testimonio en diversas entrevistas escritas y audiovisuales. De esta manera se afirma que las estrategias de lucha y resistencia son construidas desde sus relaciones de explotación y opresión dentro del sistema capitalista, patriarcal y racista con el objetivo de cuestionar la explotación de clase y la opresión de género y raza.

resistencia a la racionalización: las obreras textiles de La Matanza entre 1955-1959
Authors: Anahí Miner Solange
Published: July 2023

En este trabajo nos propusimos como objetivo contribuir a los estudios que reconstruyen el activismo obrero fabril en el periodo 1955-1959, en el marco de la resistencia obrera a las políticas de racionalización, intentando recorrer, particularmente, el activismo en la Zona Oeste del Conurbano Bonaerense. Para ello hemos tomado una industria feminizada, la textil, recuperando el activismo de sus obreras. Desde la metodología cualitativa consultamos distintos archivos, en los que revisamos la prensa comunista y los comunicados oficiales de la Asociación Obrera Textil, entre otras fuentes. En ellos filtramos la búsqueda limitándola a la conflictividad obrera textil en el periodo, con eje en La Matanza, donde destacamos las fábricas Danubio y Textil Oeste. En las conclusiones alcanzadas, determinamos la importancia de la feminización de una industria en declive, y el posicionamiento obrero defensivo en periodos de crisis económica del sector. En este sentido, destacamos la trascendencia de incorporar una perspectiva de género a los estudios de industrias feminizadas, capaz de analizar de manera crítica el lugar de la mujer en la fábrica, en la protesta y al ser expulsada del mercado laboral.

Śākta-Śaiva Meditation as Expanded Awareness in Medieval Kashmir
Authors: Flood Gavin
Published: July 2023

Contemplative traditions focused on Śiva and the Goddess developed during the medieval or post-Gupta period in Kashmir, although not limited to that region. In this paper I present textual accounts of a kind of meditation and its accompanying doctrine geared towards liberation conceptualized as an expanded awareness described in Śākta-Śaiva scriptures. This Śākta-Śaiva tradition has scriptural authority in revealed texts and its vision is articulated in the philosophical discourse of the Śākta-Śaiva philosophers, Abhinavagupta and Kṣemarāja. It is the Śākta-Śaiva idea of meditation as the realization of an innate purity of awareness which is also an expanded awareness that I wish to examine.

Authors: Noor A’fiana Desyani  , Arief Sabdo Yuwono  , Heriansyah Putra
Published: July 2023

Plastic waste generates numerous environmental problems, such as garbage accumulation and plastic waste pollution in the oceans. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of melted plastic waste as a substitute material in paving blocks. The melted low-density polyethylene (LDPE) plastic is used as the cemented agent in the paving block. After melting, the melted LDPE plastic is mixed thoroughly with sand immediately and forms a paving block mold. The effectiveness of melted plastic as a bonding agent is evaluated based on the parameters of compressive strength, water absorption, and wear resistance. The results show that paving blocks with a melted plastic of 10% reach the required level of 9.39 MPa for the park. Hence, using melted plastic in paving blocks can be an alternative strategy to reduce plastic waste.

Authors: Ndlovu Eventhough , Makwavarara Zifikile
Published: July 2023

This study examined the teaching and learning of Zimbabwean Sign Language at the University of Zimbabwe (UZ) in order to ascertain the extent to which the University guarantees the educational linguistic human rights of deaf and hearing impaired students. To this end, the study employed document analysis, non-participant observations and semi-structured interviews with purposively sampled officials at the UZ and deaf and hearing impaired students. The study established that the University does not have explicitly written, collated and consolidated language policies. The covert language policies do not guarantee deaf and hearing impaired students’ access to education in Sign Language or other forms of communication suitable for them. The University’s Disability Support Services does not have resource persons to assist deaf and hearing impaired students. In subtle ways which include proscription, avoidance, neglect and non-recognition of Sign Language, deaf and hearing impaired students are linguistically excluded at the UZ. The study therefore recommends that the University should adopt inclusive language policies which guarantee educational linguistic human rights for deaf and hearing impaired students. This will ensure that the University implements the provisions of Sections 6 (3) (b) – (4), 22 (3) (c) and 63 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe which uphold the respect for linguistic human rights.

Published: July 2023

This study was about challenges and effectiveness of nurturing programs among Seventh-day Adventist secondary schools in Southern Tanzania Union Mission through the descriptive research design. A sample of 284 students and 57 school staff participated through interview and questionnaire. Data analysis was done through the thematic approach. Challenges that schools faced in implementing nurturing programs include lack facilities for spiritual programs. Corporal punishment was a hindrance for teachers to nurture students as it was difficult for teacher to sit down with emotionally wounded students and implement nurturing programs. Despite the outlined challenges, the implementation of nurturing programs was somewhat effective as students reported the existence of a number of spiritual, social and character development nurturing programs. The study recommends that school owners should equip the schools with adequate facilities like spiritual books and chapel buildings and provide staff houses so that teachers may live within school premises and find time to provide nurturing programs after class hours. Schools should be commended for the existing nurturing programs and staff members should be encouraged to continue providing various nurturing programs.

Authors: R.Murugesan  , V.Charumathi  , V.Ishwarya  , T.Kalaiyarasi  , V.Kayathri
Published: July 2023

Personal health records (PHRs) contain sensitive health information that needs to be protected from unauthorized access. At the same time, patients may need to share their PHRs with healthcare providers or researchers to receive appropriate care or participate in medical studies. Attribute-based proxy re-encryption with keyword search (ABPRE-KS) is a what cryptographic technique that enables secure and controlled sharing of encrypted PHR data while preserving privacy and confidentiality of sensitive patient information. ABPRE-KS works by encryption of the PHR data using a key derived from the patient's attributes and allowing the patient to delegate access to the data to third parties using a proxy re-encryption scheme. To enable keyword search on the encrypted PHR data, an additional searchable encryption scheme can be used. ABPRE-KS provides a powerful tool for securely sharing and searching PHR and it can be used to facilitate better healthcare outcomes and medical research while protecting patient privacy.

Different Current Commutation of Three-Phase AC-to-DC Matrix Rectifiers Using Space Vector Modulation
Authors: S.Singh  , M.Gautam
Published: July 2023

Matrix converter is emerging to be an alternative topology for power converters, drive by persistent cost reduction of silicon devices and the development of reverse blocking IGBTs. One of the major obstacles towards commercial acceptance of this topology has been the commutation of the bi directional switches. A detailed study has been made here to understand the limitations and possible improvement of the existing current commutation techniques in this paper. A universal and synchronous commutation scheme for all the IGBTs is devised so that commutation can smoothly take place as and when required within the minimum possible time depending on the switching time of the IGBT used. The different aspects of this commutation are verified through MATLB simulink. Possibility of step less current commutation is explored.

The article developed a methodological basis for implementing automatic diagnostics based on thermal analysis of bearing assemblies. The diagnostic criteria of the technical operation condition and the procedure for determining the temperature ratio inside and outside the bearing unit based on the finite element analysis (FEA) of stable thermal conductivity have proven to be justified. Method of simulation of stable thermal conductivity of bearing units using KOMPAS-3D software and APM FEM finite element analysis module is proposed. The developed method was tested in practice and verified based on the results of theoretical and experimental studies. The developed method enables the determination of the relationship between the observed temperature on the surface of the bearing units and the friction temperature in the wear zone.

The Covid-19 pandemic is a new phenomenon that has an impact on the whole world, including Indonesia. The rapid transmission of the virus prompted the government to issue regulations on limiting physical activity. This restriction policy has an impact not only on the health sector but also occurs in various other sectors such as the economy, education and transportation. Restrictions by the government and public concern about the Covid-19 virus resulted in a decrease in daily routines. People switch to using technology to meet their daily needs, for example for work purposes. This research specifically wants to see and measure the influence of work from home activities on travel behavior during the Covid-19 pandemic. This influence is measured using the Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) quantitative analysis to see the impact of exogenous variables on endogenous variables through variables work from home that are composed of certain constructs as a whole. The results of the study show changes and influences between work from home activities and travel behavior after it occurred during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Introduction: Halitosis or bad breath is often a problem because it can reduce the fluency of communication which causes embarrassment in socializing so that it has a psychological impact which results in low self-esteem, loss of self-image and can cause stress. This writing aims to determine the role of beets on the level of halitosis reduction. Review: Most of the known causes of halitosis come from food scrap left in the oral cavity which is processed by the normal flora of the oral cavity, and are the result of the production of the activity of bacteria in the mouth that causes the formation of Volatile Sulfur Compounds (VSC) in the oral cavity, which is a sulfur compound that is volatile and smells bad. Since time immemorial, many people believe that natural ingredients are able to treat various diseases because they are considered less likely to cause side effects compared to synthetic drugs. One of the natural ingredients that can be used is beetroot. Beetroot contains several active compounds such as carotenoids, saponins, glycine betanin, betanin, polyphenols, flavonoids, phenols, tannins and alkaloids. Beetroot is thought to be able to reduce the level of halitosis because the compounds in beets contain antibacterial active substances that can reduce bacteria in the oral cavity in reducing the level of halitosis. Conclusion: Beets (Beta Vulgaris) are effective in reducing the level of halitosis because they have antibacterial properties.

Introduction: Red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) is one of the herbal plants used as a wound healing drug because it contains high oleoresin and essential oil. Red ginger also has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties that can strengthen the immune system and prevent infection. For the safety of using herbal plants, it is necessary to do a toxicity test. Subacute toxicity test is a test to detect toxic effects after administration of test preparations with repeated doses given orally to test animals for 28 days. Objectives: the aim of the study is to determine whether red ginger extract has a toxic effect on the liver of mice. Materials and Methods: This is a laboratory experimental study using in vivo laboratory experimental methods using The Post Test Only Control Group design with sample grouping using a Completely Randomized Design. The 25 mice were divided into 5 groups, namely group I as control, group II to group V given the test extract at doses of 100, 200, 400, and 800mg/KgBW with one oral administration. On day 28, the mice were autopsied, and histopathological observations of the liver were performed. The data obtained were analyzed using the Kruskall Wallis test and continued with the Mann Whitney U test. Results and Discussions: in the control group tended to be in normal conditions, in treatment P1 parenchymal degeneration occurred, in treatment P2 hydropic degeneration occurred, in 55 treatment P3 hydropic degeneration and necrosis occurred, while in treatment P4 necrosis occurred. Conclusions: Red ginger extract had a subacute toxic effect on the liver of mice at a dose of 400 mg/kg BW, which was a score of 3 (hydropic degeneration) and a dose of 800mg/kg BW showed a score of 4 (necrosis).
