Corn is an agricultural commodity that is quite potential to be developed due to various factors, apart from being a food ingredient, corn also contains a lot of carbohydrates second after rice and corn is also used as an ingredient in the animal feed industry. In addition to being animal feed, corn can also be processed into a product that has a high added value for the corn itself, one of which is made into processed corn marning which has a distinctive taste. The corn marning produced by UD Ajum Pertama is located in Kalianget Timur Village, this corn marning business was initiated in the 90s which was later developed into one of the home corn marning industries which is quite liked by the people of Sumenep. The success of a home industry will not escape the problems that exist, so that these problems result in delays in the process of production activities. The problems experienced by UD Ajum Pertama include a lack of understanding about marketing competition for corn marning products. So the opportunity to enter the world of marketing is very minimal. The results of the analysis show that marketing in the production of marning corn at UD Ajum Pertama has met the Marketing Mix aspect, namely the 4P (product, price, place, promotion) namely the product, namely in the form of marning corn, the price (price), namely there are various price options, place (place), namely there are 4 different places, promotion (promotion), namely for the promotion aspect, producers still promote their products directly to consumers. For the marketing channel process in UD Ajum Pertama maize marning is currently quite developed, there are 3 marketing channels, each of which has its own efficiency value, for the most efficient marketing channel is channel 1.

Published: November 2023

This study aims to analyze the process of the emergence of untouchable costs in the formation of the cost of acquisition of tobacco bandol in Madura. By using a descriptive qualitative approach. The results of this study indicate that, Untouchable costs arise because bandol ignores the expenditure of costs incurred during the tobacco trading process, starting from the announcement, purchasing, delivery, sorting, and weighing processes. So that that expenditure in the form of money, goods, services, or other resources that are issued outside the purchase price are only considered as operational costs. The error cost of sales will be trouble on the operasional profit of the entity.

Prozessanalysen – Juwelen aus der psychotherapeutischen Praxis
Authors: Brossi Rosina
Published: November 2023

Um die Personzentrierte Psychotherapieweiterbildung in der Schweiz (pca.acp) abzuschließen, müssen die Kandidaten und Kandidatinnen zwei Prozessanalysen erarbeiten und vorstellen. Im Folgenden werden der theoretische und der geschichtliche Hintergrund der Prozessanalysen erörtert und das in der pca.acp angebotene Prozessanalyseseminar vorgestellt. Es wird auf die Wichtigkeit von Praxisforschung hingewiesen. Der Stellenwert der für die Prozessanalysen geforderten Tonband- und Videoaufzeichnungen wird hervorgehoben. Es wird danach gefragt, wie die Aufgabe, die psychotherapeutischen Prozesse mit solchen Aufzeichnungen zu belegen, von den Weiterbildungskandidaten und -kandidatinnen erlebt wird. Dafür wurde eine kleine Umfrage bei angehenden und ausgebildeten Personzentrierten Psychotherapeuten und Psychotherapeutinnen durchgeführt. Diese macht deutlich, dass die Vorstellung, dass Dritte das Beziehungsgeschehen so direkt mitverfolgen können, ihr Erleben und Verhalten im Positiven wie im Negativen beeinflusst und Angst vor Bewertung auslösen kann. Deshalb scheint gerade die in der Theorie angenommene Bedeutung der Bedingungsfreien Positiven Beachtung, als Teil der personzentrierten Grundhaltung, zentral für eine fruchtbare Arbeit in Supervisionsgruppen und anderen Weiterbildungseinheiten zu sein. Es wird postuliert, dass ein nicht bewertendes Klima Voraussetzung ist für ein unvoreingenommenes Interesse an der Vielfalt und Komplexität dessen, was es bei Audio- und Videoaufzeichnungen wahrzunehmen gibt.
Mapping Safety, Security and Walkability of Historical Public Open Spaces in Post-Conflict Libya: Tripoli as North African Case Study
Authors: Abdulla Khairi , Abdelmonem Mohamed Gamal
Published: November 2023

North African cities have been undergoing major transformation over the past two decades following protracted instability, civic uprising, and conflicts, changing their perception from havens to territories of displacements with social, psychological, and physical problems. Historic public spaces in those cities, in particular, form a critical part of urban environments as they have the identity, livelihoods and cross-community engagement in a healthy and fulfilling urban fabric and culture. Whilst there have been several studies on the characteristics of open spaces in urban environments, there is very limited work on the changing perceptions, use and engagement of public spaces in historic cities especially in the post-Arab Spring and its relative instability. This study aims to deploy investigative and creative methods to map, analyse and navigate through the transformation in the perceptions of historic public spaces in Post-Conflict Libya and its divided cities.  It will study the users' (locals and visitors) attitudes, movements, and reflections on how those spaces have changed over time. visitors' behaviour in open historical public spaces in Tripoli, Libya. The study explores the relationships between the characteristics of historical public spaces, physical activity, and psychological behaviour. The paper argues that safety and security in public spaces are critical and inherent qualities that inform much of the users’ attitudes in historic cities, which has continued to be the case in post-conflict Tripoli.

Published: November 2023

The shopping mall has emerged as an important component of many cities. While the rapid development of malls and the increasing patronage show their viability and acceptance by the populace, respectively, there is a dearth of studies that examine the impact of its physical and behavioural attributes on attachment. This study examines the effect of physical characteristics, activities, and socioeconomic characteristics on place attachment to the first standalone mall in Ibadan, Nigeria. From a sampling frame of 7, 115 shoppers, quantitative data was obtained from 350 respondents using systematic sampling on April 29, 2017, through a structured questionnaire. The data was analysed using mean, factor analysis, cross-tabulation, correlation, and categorical regression. The findings show that the most prevalent activities are meeting others (α = 0.77); leisure (α = 0.75); and, parties and hanging out (α = 0.70). The important physical attributes are circulation, wayfinding, and aesthetics (α = 0.87); access to mechanical conveyors, mall decoration, and quality materials (α = 0.80); and, ambience (α =0.79). However, the regression results show that the most important factors of attachment are access to mechanical conveyors, mall decoration, and quality materials (β = 0.334); leisure (β = 0.279); purchasing activities (β = 0.236); and, meeting others (β = 0.165). Hence, these factors should be considered in creating new malls in the city. In the context of urbanism, this is key to the social and economic revitalization of cities.

Schools play a crucial role in promoting the mental health of children and adolescents. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a mental health program by evaluating changes in knowledge, behavior, and mental health outcomes of students before and after the intervention. The study employed a pre-and-post-test quasi-experimental approach in four selected high schools in Bogor. It evaluated changes in knowledge, behavior, and mental health outcomes of students pre-and-post the intervention. The study assessed mental health literacy, anti-bullying education, and creating a positive school environment. Data were collected in July and October 2019, with 476 out of 495 students completing both pre- and post-tests. In the intervention group, there was an improvement in knowledge, as evidenced by a decrease in the risk of “having a lack of knowledge” from the pre-test (OR = 1.8, 95% CI [1.2, 2.6], p = .004) to the post-test (OR = 1.2, 95% CI [0.9, 1.8], p = .284). During the pre-test period, students in the intervention schools had a higher risk of experiencing bullying (OR = 1.4, 95% CI [0.9, 2.3], p = .133). However, after the intervention, their risk of being bullied decreased (OR = 0.9, 95% CI [0.6, 1.6], p = .810). The risk of having no peer support also decreased from OR = 1.6, 95% CI [0.5, 5.8], p = .467 to OR = 1.1, 95% CI [0.3, 4.3], p = .933. The condition of depression in the intervention group improved, with an OR = 1.0, 95% CI [0.6, 1.8], p = .924 at the pre-test and an OR = 0.8, 95% CI [0.4, 1.6], p = .511 at the post-test. These findings underscore the significance of initiatives focused on improving student mental health.

Authors: Petrovskaya Miroslava Ivanovna
Published: November 2023

The author examines the current issues of the institution of temporary asylum in the context of the current administrative and legal regulation and public administration practice. The article pays attention to the problems of implementing the institution of temporary asylum known in the literature, associated with the complex administrative procedure for granting temporary asylum status and the long period of consideration of an application for status, as well as the falling demand for refugee and temporary asylum institutions, reflected in statistical data. The object of the study is the public relations arising in the field of forced migration. The subject of the study is the public relations that arise regarding the implementation of public administration in the process of granting temporary asylum status. The purpose of this article is to develop proposals for reforming the administrative and legal regulation of the institution of temporary asylum in the Russian Federation in the system of public management of forced migration in Russia. The scientific novelty of this article consists in conducting a qualitative analysis of the provision of refugee status and temporary asylum based on statistical data from government agencies and other sources in the field of forced migration in Russia. Particular attention is paid to forced migrants from Ukraine in the context of existing problems. A systemic problem of inconsistency between statistical data on the granting of refugee status, temporary asylum and citizenship of the Russian Federation and the actual socio-political situation has been identified. In conclusion, proposals for modernizing the current legislation in the field of forced migration are formulated, including the vesting of statistical powers in the field of forced migration of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as the introduction into administrative and legal practice of a new legal status - “temporary protection”
Pathogenesis of Basal Carcinoma and Features of Development of Local Recurrences in Head and Neck. Summary of the Doctoral Thesis
Authors:   ,   Rīga Stradiņš University, Moisejenko-Goluboviča Jeļena
Published: November 2023

Ultraviolet radiation is known to be a major cause of skin malignancies, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC), the most common type of skin cancer. With frequent development in the head and neck region, BCC is characterized by deep tissue invasion and recurrence, therefore, it is important to investigate clinical, dermatoscopic, and morphological criteria for different forms of BCC, as misinterpretation leads to incorrect treatment tactics, aggressive tumour progression, and recurrence. Ultraviolet radiation is not the only predisposing factor, also sunlight is important for general health and vitamin D synthesis in the skin, which deviates from optimal vitamin D levels with a tendency to develop BCC. Previous studies have highlighted the need to systematically evaluate primary and relapsing BCCs based on a better understanding of their morphological structure and the biology of a tumour microenvironment. Accumulating evidence suggests that vitamin D antagonises the transmission of Sonic Hedgehog (SHh) signals, and, therefore, plays an important protective role in BCCs development. The prevalence and characteristics of primary and recurrent head and neck BCCs were assessed in 79 subjects; dermatoscopic criteria were recognized; serum vitamin D levels and vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) expression in BCC tissues were assessed. The essential components of the basement membrane (BM) ‒ type IV collagen and laminin were evaluated immunohistochemically; a tumour cell biology and tumour microenvironment (TME) were explored by studying the expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), podoplanin (PDPN), and SHh. The most frequent dermatoscopic criteria were established for all types of BCC; the impaired intergrity of the BM in BCC was confirmed; an increase in peritumoural and whole-panstromal α-SMA reactivity was confirmed in mixed and recurrent BCC. A marked increase in the level of SHh expression was observed in the aggressive variants of the BCC ‒ infiltrative, mixed, and micronodular. Vitamin D deficiency was determined in the cohort of patients with both primary and recurrent BCC of the head and neck. There was no statistically significant difference in serum vitamin D levels between men and women. Higher serum vitamin D levels were correlated with the appearance of smaller neoplasms and a more favorable disease prognosis. In smaller tumours with a favorable course, such as superficial and nodular BCC, the association between high-VDBP and low-SHh tissue expression was found, providing supportive evidence of the existence of a link between vitamin D, proteins involved in its metabolism, and SHh signaling pathway. 3.2 Health Sciences; Sub-Sector – Dermatology and Venereal Diseases.

Ultravioletais starojums ir pazīstams kā viens no galvenajiem ādas ļaundabīgo audzēju izraisītājiem, tostarp bazālo šūnu karcinomas (BŠK) gadījumā, kas ir visizplatītākais ādas vēža veids. Bieži attīstoties galvas un kakla rajonā, BŠK izpaužas ar dziļu audu invāziju un recidivēšanu, tāpēc svarīgi ir noteikt klīniskos, dermatoskopiskos un morfoloģiskos kritērijus dažādām BŠK formām, jo to kļūdaina interpretācija izraisa nepareizas ārstēšanas taktikas izvēli, audzēja progresēšanu un recidīvu. Ultravioletais starojums nav vienīgais predispozīcijas faktors, taču saules gaisma ir arī svarīga vispārējai veselībai un D vitamīna sintēzei ādā, jo novirzes no optimālā D vitamīna līmeņa saista ar noslieci uz BŠK attīstību. Iepriekš veiktie pētījumi ir norādījuši uz nepieciešamību novērtēt primāro un recidivējošo BŠK, pamatojoties uz izpratni par tās morfoloģisko uzbūvi, mikrovides bioloģiju. Uzkrātie literatūras dati liecina, ka D vitamīns antagonizē Sonic Hedgehog (SHh) signālu pārraidi, tāpēc tam ir nozīmīga aizsargājoša loma BŠK attīstībā. Šajā pētījumā tika novērtēta gan primāro, gan recidivējošo galvas un kakla BŠK izplatība un īpatnības 79 pacientiem; BŠK dermatoskopiskie kritēriji; D vitamīna līmenis asinīs un D vitamīna saistošā proteīna (DVP) ekspresija BŠK; tika imūnhistoķīmiski novērtēti bazālās membrānas (BM) komponenti ‒ IV tipa kolagēns un laminīns; analizētas audzēja šūnu un tā mikrovides (AM) īpatnības, pētot alfa-gludo muskuļu aktīna (a-GMA), podoplanīna (PDPN) un SHh ekspresiju BŠK. Tika noskaidroti biežākie dermatoskopiskie kritēriji visiem BŠK tipiem, noteikti ādas epitēlija BM integritātes bojājumi, novērota peritumorālās un visas stromas a-GMA reaktivitātes palielināšanās jauktā un recidivējošā BŠK. Pētījumā tika noteikta izteikta SHh ekspresijas līmeņa paaugstināšanās BŠK agresīvajos variantos ‒ infiltratīvajos, jauktajos un mikronodulārajos. Gan primāro, gan recidivējošo galvas un kakla BŠK pacientu kohortā tika noteikts D vitamīna deficīts. BŠK pacientiem netika konstatēta statistiski nozīmīga atšķirība starp vīriešiem un sievietēm D vitamīna līmeņa rādītājos asins serumā. Augstāks D vitamīna līmenis novērots mazāka izmēra un zemākas agresivitātes BŠK. Imūnhistoķīmiski DVP ekspresija bija augstāka, turklāt negatīvi korelēja ar SHh mazāk agresīvos audzēju veidos, proti, virspusējās un nodulārās BŠK, kas var liecināt par D vitamīna aizsargfunkciju. 3.2. klīniskā medicīna; apakšnozare – dermatoloģija un veneroloģija.

On the Revision of Russian Harvest Statistics of the Late 19th Century
Authors: Nefedov S. A.
Published: November 2023

The article scrutinizes the reliability of harvest statistics of the Central Statistical Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The author shows that a crop accounting reform conducted in 1893 led to a formal increase in crop yields in 50 provinces of European Russia by at least 19 %. In some chernozem and Volga provinces, the jump in productivity in 1893–1896 compared to 1887–1890 exceeded 40 %. In the Ekaterinoslav province, the jump was 42 %, in Kherson – 43 %, Kazan – 51 %, Ufa – 54 %, Vyatka – 55 %, Samara – 78 %. Climatic fluctuations cannot explain such a sharp increase in the average yield. Thus, the comparison of data on grain production in the 1880s with data from the beginning of the 20th century, carried out in the works of some historians, turns out to be incorrect. As is known, two trends in historiography assess the dynamics of the level of consumption in Russia in the late 19th – early 20th century in different ways. “Pessimists” talk about the growth of agrarian overpopulation and peasant shortage of land, which led to a decrease in per capita consumption and an increase in discontent among the masses. “Optimists” take the opposite position and argue that the production growth outpaced the population growth. Accounting for the proposed adjustment of 19 % leads to the opposite conclusion. Grain production per capita was declining, and the population’s standard of living was falling. From this perspective, the ideas about Russia’s economic development in the second half of the 19th century that existed until now require revision, considering new circumstances. In this case, the “pessimistic” point of view receives an additional argument.

Published: November 2023

Nahwu is one of the critical knowledge of Arabic because nahwu is a rule, parameter of authenticity, and clues to the meaning of Arabic, so knowing nahwu is a must for people who learn Arabic. Nahwu has several madhhabs, each with its characteristics, characters, and opinions. Among the most popular nahwu madhhab is the nahwu Basrah madhhab. The researcher chose the nahwu Basrah madhhab as the theme of this research to reveal the advantages of other madhhabs and the views that emerged from the Basrah madhhab. This research intends to discover several things: 1) the importance of nahwu Basrah madhhab and its development; 2) the influence of nahwu Basrah in learning Arabic. In his research, Researchers in conducting their research used the literature study method, namely by reviewing several books related to themes such as the book al-Kitab, Jami' al-Durus, Syarh ibn Aqil, etc. as well as collecting important information contained by several sources, and detailing it then analyzing it, and finally drawing conclusions. The research findings show that 1) nahwu is the rule by which the ins and outs of Arabic words are known after being arranged on jumlah, and nahwu has a vital role in the use of good Arabic far from mistakes; 2) Among the popular nahwu madhhab is the Basrah madhhab because it has several advantages, including detail in the rules, being careful in the istinbath, and being vital in arguments. Taking advantage of the discussions of nahwu Basrah in learning Arabic is considered an ideal step because the debate is closer to the primary Arabic sources.

Jeux d’échelles : aux limites de la littérature et de la cartographie
Authors: Soula Théo
Published: November 2023

Les géographes ont fait de l’échelle un des outils spécifiques de leur pratique et de leur représentation de l’espace. Tout usage et toute manipulation de l’échelle en littérature convoque alors un intertexte cartographique qui dessine, en creux, une forme d’ekphrasis géographique. Il s’agira dans cette étude de comprendre comment la critique et la théorie littéraires peuvent s’emparer de cet outil et le mettre au service du texte, mais également combien l’échelle devient, en contexte littéraire, un puissant facteur de fictionnalisation.

En 2010, Olivier Hodasava se lance dans la création d’un blog, Dreamlands Virtual Tour, qu’il présente comme un carnet de voyage virtuel. À l’aide de Google Street View, il entreprend en effet de faire le tour du monde. Quotidiennement, il partage les images réalisées au cours de ses pérégrinations : ce sont des captures d’écran, généralement accompagnées d’un commentaire descriptif. De toute évidence, Hodasava est séduit par l’idée de produire une « cartographie photographique » de la terre entière. Dans cet article, nous proposons d’examiner les fondements de son projet carto-photographique en étudiant les différents procédés d’écriture mobilisés : nous verrons qu’Hodasava s’inscrit dans le sillage de Perec en s’appropriant le procédé de l’inventaire descriptif, mais aussi le motif de la miniature, associé à l’écriture de fiction.

High-spin organic tetraradicals with significant intramolecular exchange interactions have high potential for advanced technological applications and fundamental research, but reported to date examples exhibit limited stability and processability. In this work, we designed the first tetraradical based on an oxoverdazyl core and nitronyl nitroxide radicals and successfully synthesized it using a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of oxoverdazyl radical bearing three iodo-phenylene moieties with a gold(I) nitronyl nitroxide-2-ide complex in the presence of a recently developed efficient catalytic system. The molecular and crystal structures of the tetraradical were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The tetraradical possesses good thermal stability with decomposition onset at ∼115 °C in an inert atmosphere. The resulting unique verdazyl-nitroxide conjugate was thoroughly studied using a complex of SQUID magnetometry of polycrystalline powders, EPR spectroscopy in various matrices, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and high-level quantum chemical calculations. All collected data confirm the high thermal stability of the resulting tetraradical and quintet multiplicity of its ground state, which makes the synthesis of this important paramagnet a new milestone in the field of creating high-spin systems.

Authors: Chernenko Inna
Published: November 2023

Introduction: The urgency of the situation on the territory of Ukraine has taken on an exceptionally crucial character. After a large-scale invasion and deployment of military operations, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of cases of mine-explosive injuries, shrapnel wounds, and gunshot injuries. Specifically, combat traumatic brain injury (combat TBI) has emerged as one of the most pressing issues. According to statistical data, combat TBI constitutes half of all reported injuries and holds paramount significance for public health. It arises due to mechanical damage to the skull or its internal components (vessels, nerves, brain membranes, and the brain itself). Importantly, the severity of combat TBI consequences depends on the degree and nature of the injury, potentially causing disruptions in the functioning of vital body systems.

Accompanying traumatic brain injuries can lead to serious complications, such as disruptions in cerebral blood circulation, cerebrospinal fluid circulation, brain swelling, and more. The choice of treatment methods depends on the severity of the injury. For milder cases, like concussions, conservative treatment is applied. Severe injuries, including open head injuries, might require surgical intervention. After the surgical procedure, patients necessitate rehabilitation measures to restore bodily functions.

During the postoperative period, rehabilitation interventions take on special significance, aiming to restore physical and psychological functions of the affected individual. This may encompass physiotherapy, speech therapy sessions, psychotherapy, and other methods of gentle therapy. Thus, combat traumatic brain injury poses a serious threat to the health and lives of individuals who have been affected during military operations. Achieving effective treatment and rehabilitation within this context stands as a crucial task for the medical community.

Speech enhancement for noisy signals using adaptive algorithms
Authors: Anna Rahul Kasukurthy , Uma Sankar Chintala D.
Published: November 2023

Speech enhancement is a signal processing technique used to improve the quality and intelligibility of speech recordings that contain noise or interference. Its main goal is to eliminate unwanted background noise while preserving the clarity and naturalness of the speech signal. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of three widely used adaptive filtering algorithms, Least Mean Square (LMS), Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS), and Affine Projection Algorithm (APA). The limitations of LMS, such as slow convergence and sensitivity to input variations, are addressed in this study. By incorporating normalization, NLMS improves convergence speed and robustness to input power levels. The Affine Projection Algorithm (APA) is known for its exceptional performance in non-stationary environments, achieved through subspace projection to estimate optimal filter coefficients, resulting in faster convergence and improved tracking capabilities. In this paper, the algorithms are compared using Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), Mean-Square Error (MSE), and Root-Mean-Square-Error (RMSE) values.

Alcohol misuse has become a major public health concern worldwide. The development of an accurate, non-invasive, and cost-effective method for real-time alcohol detection would have important applications for monitoring and preventing alcohol misuse. This paper proposes a novel wearable biosensor for real-time alcohol detection in sweat. The biosensor uses alcohol oxidase immobilized on a screen-printed electrode to amperometrically detect ethanol in sweat samples. An artificial sweat solution was used to optimize the sensor design and evaluate its analytical performance. The optimized biosensor demonstrated a linear response to ethanol in the concentration range of 0.1–1.0 g/dL, with a limit of detection of 0.02 g/dL. On-body trials of the wearable biosensor provided rapid measurements that strongly correlated with blood alcohol content. This approach could offer a convenient solution for continuous, non-invasive alcohol monitoring to help reduce alcohol misuse and promote healthy behaviors. Further research on long-term use, alternate electrode geometries, and fully integrated wearable designs is warranted.

Published: November 2023

Ciphertext policy attribute-based encryption (CPABE) is one of the efficient implementations of encrypted access control scheme for cloud computing. Though multiple implementations of CPABE exist, there are some issues that need to be addressed, including efficient revocation approach, decryption time, storage cost etc. In this paper, an efficient scheme that incorporates a hierarchical access structure, outsourced decryption, as well as user and attribute revocation is presented. The hierarchical access structure is utilized to encrypt multiple data using one common access structure and makes the encryption process more efficient. The outsourcing server is used to perform partial decryption, so that all heavy computations are performed by this server and less overhead is incurred by the data user. The proposed framework also integrates the evaluation of trustworthiness of data users and service providers to ensure trusted and encrypted access control procedures. The paper also presents an analysis of the time required for performing different operations. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing approaches.

Published: November 2023

Technology can be directed to provide effective and productive pedagogy in the English language classroom. One of these fairly recent technological platforms for English language teaching and learning is the mobile phone. Also known as m-learning, it offers valuable opportunities for educators to create effective teaching strategies through the utilisation of mobile phones. On the receiving end of this pedagogical strategy are our students, our clients, whose perspectives and attitudes towards m-learning warrant equaly important considerations. Thus, this study was pursued to probe the role of mobile phone for English language learning in the Indonesian context. The study was guided by the theory of connectivism, activity theory, and communities of practice. This case study adopted a mix of qualitative and quantitative means for the purpose of accumulating data with semi-structured interviews and questionnaires as primary research instruments. It was learnt through the study that students are generally in favour of and have positive responses on the use of mobile phones in language learning but several emergent problems need to be addressed by institutional administrators and classroom instructors when tapping on m-learning. These research findings pave the way for subsequent research endeavours to delve into the efficacy of m-learning as a viable mediating variable for language learning, especially in the wake of prevalent online learning scenario, where mobile phones have become an integral part of online and distance learning platforms.

The study aims to investigate the English presentation self-efficacy of ESP undergraduate students through a longitudinal-experimental research design. Rooted in Bandura's social cognitive theory, it addresses two research problems: how Indonesian ESP undergraduate students' English presentation self-efficacy developed when they were exposed to mastery experience in the form of presentation tasks, and how individual and group presentation tasks affected the English presentation self-efficacy development. Three groups of ESP undergraduate students (n = 107) taking ESP English for Management were purposively selected as the participants for the study. Each group was exposed to one of the three forms of interventions: individual presentation tasks, homogeneous-group presentation tasks, and heterogeneous-group presentation tasks. A Likert-type presentation self-efficacy questionnaire validated by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was utilized to collect the data in Weeks 3, 8, 12, and 16 of the semester. The study found that the Indonesian ESP undergraduate students' English presentation self-efficacy developed significantly as they completed the presentation tasks. The homogeneous-group presentation task outperformed both the heterogeneous-group and individual presentation tasks in enhancing English presentation self-efficacy. Implications for the teaching practices, study limitations, and future research recommendations are presented.

This article presents analysis and discussion of research data focusing on the students’  attitudes and perceptions of EMI program implementation strategies in the secondary schools level in South Sulawesi Province. Three Public International Standard Schools that run EMI and non-EMI Programs were selected as sample of the study. The data has been drawn from student questionnaire responses and student group interviews. Seventy seven (77) EMI students and 84 non-EMI students completed the questionnaire. Eight students from each school were selected as focus group interview participants. The data from questionnaire was analysed using SPSS Program, and the data from focus group interview was analysed using NVivo software. The study found that the Chi-square test result suggests that in these three schools, EMI and non-EMI programs have significant differences in their preferences (p=0.000).  EMI students preferred the EMI program and non-EMI students preferred non-EMI programs. Futhermore, the students said they experienced difficulties studied in the program. Despite the fact that students experienced difficulties in coping with the new learning situation in the EMI program, the majority felt satisfied with the program because they realised there were some benefits. The students interview responses also highlighted three factors detracting from EMI program implementation: lack of teachers’ language support; lack of English environment in the school; and bilingual learning materials. Detailed findings will be presented and their implications discussed.
