Authors: Angelina Marcellia , Permatasari Ranti , Ganie Ratna Akbari , Hasan Refli
Published: February 2025

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a leading cause of death worldwide, with platelet activation playing a crucial role in the formation and evolution of atherothrombosis. Platelet indices, such as Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) and Immature Platelet Fraction (IPF), play a significant role as indicators of platelet activation. Troponin-I is a specific protein for the myocardium and serves as an ideal biomarker, providing crucial insights into the extent of myocardial damage. This study aims to identify the relationship between MPV and IPF with Troponin-I levels in patients with ACS. This research was a cross-sectional study involving 52 ACS patients undergoing treatment at H. Adam Malik Hospital, Medan, from February 2023 to May 2023. Blood samples were taken upon admission and examinations for MPV, IPF, and Troponin-I were conducted. The data were analyzed using SPSS software, and the Spearman test was employed. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. No correlation was found between MPV and Troponin-I, with a p-value of 0.251. Similarly, there was no correlation between IPF and Troponin-I, with a p-value of 0.090. However, a strong correlation was observed between MPV and IPF, with a p-value < 0.001 and an r-value of 0.840. The findings indicate insignificant results between MPV and IPF values in relation to Troponin-I levels in ACS patients.

Authors: Agustina Angelia , Alamanda Cut Nur Cinthia
Published: February 2025

Dengue fever remains a major global public health issue, especially in tropical nations like Indonesia, where cases of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) continue to increase annually. Despite extensive efforts in mosquito vector control programs, the transmission of dengue fever continues. World Health Organization (WHO) recommends vaccination as a potential option that can be used in endemic areas such as Indonesia. This literature review aims to collect and analyze the latest evidence on the efficacy and effectiveness of dengue vaccines based on findings from current relevant research. Dengvaxia, TAK-003, and TV003/TV005 are potential vaccines to provide immunity and prevent dengue infections with efficacy of Dengvaxia, DENV 3 and 4 70-80%, DENV 1 and 2 40-50%; TAK-003 seropositive 76.1%, seronegative 66.2% and TV003/TV005 seropositive 89.2% seronegative 73.6% (1-6). Additionally, TV003/TV005 can be used for travelers to endemic areas, as a single-dose administration and has been shown to provide immunity regardless of serostatus.
The one-dimensional nonreduced line scheme of two families of quadratic quantum $\mathbb{P}^{\bf 3}$s
Authors: Lim Ian C. , Lozano Jose E. , Mastriania Iv Anthony , Vancliff Michaela
Published: February 2025

The classification of quantum $\mathbb{P}^2$s was completed by M. Artin et al. decades ago, but the classification of quadratic algebras that are viewed as quantum $\mathbb{P}^3$s is still an open problem. Based on work of M. Van den Bergh, it is believed that a ``generic'' quadratic quantum $\mathbb{P}^3$ should have a finite point scheme and a one-dimensional line scheme. Two families of quadratic quantum $\mathbb{P}^3$s with these geometric properties are presented herein, where each family member has a line scheme that is either a union of lines or is a union of a line, a conic and a curve. Moreover, we prove that, under certain conditions, if $A$ is a quadratic quantum $\mathbb{P}^3$ that contains a subalgebra $B$ that is a quadratic quantum $\mathbb{P}^2$, then the point scheme of $B$ embeds in the line scheme of $A$.
La poetica dello spazio in José Saramago: “L’anno della morte di Ricardo Reis”
Authors: Graziani Michela
Published: February 2025

A partire dalla poetica dello spazio di Bachelard e dal concetto eterotopico di Foucault, il presente lavoro intende esplorare i vari spazi presenti nel romanzo L’anno della morte di Ricardo Reis dello scrittore portoghese José Saramago, indispensabili per comprendere la valenza del cronotopo del viaggio e il concetto della dimensione pubblica e privata dell’abitare di Ricardo Reis, eteronimo pessoano che viene reso reale da Saramago in una città di Lisbona quasi surreale per le dense nubi che la sovrastano a causa dei tragici cambiamenti politici che hanno riguardato l’Europa nel 1936.
Deconstruction of political core of the region: Arctic discourses in tatters
Authors: Szczebrowicz Wojciech
Published: February 2025

This study examines the evolving political core of the Arctic, focusing on the impact of recent political shifts, particularly Russia’s aggression in Ukraine. Traditionally, the Arctic has been viewed as a region of cooperation, with the eight states and institutions such as the Arctic Council promoting stability and environmental protection. However, the invasion of Ukraine in 2022 disrupted this status quo, leading to a suspension of most collaborative efforts with Russia and creating a more fragmented regional order. Using a poststructuralist approach, the research explores how the states' strategies construct and deconstruct the region through discourse. The AntConc software is employed to analyse policy documents, uncovering the persistence of strategic narratives that emphasize cooperation. The study also reveals the diversity of regional perspectives, demonstrating that each Arctic region-builder defines the Arctic differently, reflecting its own priorities and interests. This analysis highlights the fluidity of the region's political core, shaped by competing narratives and shifting power relations. It also underscores the increasing challenges posed by climate change, which both unites and divides the agents. The findings suggest that the Arctic is not a single cohesive region but a space where multiple interpretations interact, shaping its evolving political identity.
Examining the Role of Needs Satisfaction in the Coach-Athlete Relationship and in Athletes’ Well-Being
Authors: Caling Jester Vann Y. , Longakit Jet C. , Jariol Kiana Polline Z. , Lobo Joseph , Rodriguez Deljun R.
Published: February 2025

Although various studies have explored the effects of the coach-athlete relationship and athletes’ well-being across a number of contexts, there is scant literature indicating how satisfaction of needs (autonomy, competence and relatedness) mediates the relationship. This study aimed to examine the mediating role of needs-satisfaction, particularly autonomy, competence, and relatedness, on the coach-athlete relationship and the well-being of athletes. Using a cross-sectional design, a total of 248 competitive athletes (142 males and 106 females, M= 20.24, SD = 2.02) from various sports participated in this study. The results indicate that needs satisfaction (autonomy, competence and relatedness) partially mediated the coach-athlete relationship and the athlete’s well-being. This suggests that a strong relationship between coaches and athletes creates a positive social environment that fulfills athletes’ basic psychological needs. This encourages athletes to stay involved in sports and promotes overall well-being. The findings indicate that individuals thrive and experience physical and mental well-being proactively and healthy development when their basic psychological needs are met. Conversely, when these needs are unmet, individuals experience poor functioning, stunted growth, fatigue, and physical and mental distress. Future research should incorporate longitudinal forms of investigations into athletic populations and pay considerable attention to concrete methods of promoting the psychological needs outlined above in the specified athletic populations.

Authors:   Hakas State University, Borisova I.
Published: February 2025

The main problem, which is the starting point for the presented article, lies in the field of changes in the personality structure of students (students) of higher educational institutions, namely, in the absence of a responsible attitude of students to their own educational activities. As a mechanism capable of in­fluencing the current situation, it is proposed to use participation, which is considered here as a mechanism for involving students in the educational process, taking responsibility for their decisions. The article presents a practical research project as a form of implementing a participatory approach that ensures the for­mation of students’ independence and responsibility. The practical research project is based on the concept of action research, the use of which makes it possible for the effective formation of professional competencies of future specialists. The project in­cludes such steps as the formulation of a research question, the development of measuring materials, the analysis and generalization of the data collected during the research, and the defini­tion of the goals of their further professional development.

Published: February 2025

The Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) system emerged as a practical and validated academic solution for individuals and institutions. Acknowledging the demand, Qatar University (QU) developed the first Arabic course for non-native speakers (Ar­MOOC) on edX in 2022. ArMOOC demonstrated a significant de­mand for online language learning, attracting over 32,000 par­ticipants [Al-Hamad and Ibrahim n.d.]. This paper aims to ad­dress the following key questions regarding the integration of the Arabic course on edX: How does this course align with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) standards? Can integrating the course enhance the achievement of learning outcomes (LOs)? What is the optimal approach to integrating the course within the curriculum? What design challenges need to be considered to effectively achieve the course goals?

Published: February 2025

Anchoring on the value of co-creation theories and stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R), the purpose of the study is to examine co-creation experience among Gen Z. First, the study aims to investigate the role of mobile commerce quality in driving Gen Z co-creation experience. Second, it seeks to understand the impact of a positive co-creation experience on the likelihood of engaging in E-WOM. An online survey was designed to collect 679 responses using purposive sampling from mobile commerce users. The data was analysed using PLS-SEM to test the hypotheses. The results demonstrate that mobile commerce quality and personal traits contribute to increased co-creation experience. In addition, the results indicate that E-WOM is determined by learning, personal, and hedonic experiences, which are influenced by content quality, visual appeal, social interaction, and propensity to interact online. The research provides insights for mobile commerce managers into increasing co-creation experience as the source of competitive advantage.
Effects of climate change on functional health foods and medicinal plants – a short review
Authors: Shahrajabian Mohamad Hesam
Published: February 2025

There is a growing opportunity to initiate studies to address the effects of climate change on medicinal plants’ phenology, habitat alteration, species range shifts, and secondary metabolite production. Awareness of the potential effects of warming (increased CO2, and ultraviolet radiation due to ozone layer depletion) on secondary plant components and metabolites is an influential task for the future. There is information that climate change is causing remarkable effects on life cycles and the distribution of plant species. They are also forcing ecosystems to adopt the changing life cycle of plants and the development of new physical traits. A quickly changing climate might benefit species that can extend their ranges rapidly or that can tolerate a wide range of climatic conditions, both traits shared by various invasive plants taxon. This review provides a summary of the impact of climate change on medicinal and functional health food plants.

Mediatised Spirituality: Qaṣīdah and Nashīd for Alternative Narratives and Religious Economy in the East African Coast
Authors: Athuman Chembea S.
Published: February 2025

This article examines the dynamics in the production, mediatisation, commodification and dissemination of Islamic knowledge along the East African coast within the microcosm of Kenya. Traditional norms confined the production of religious knowledge to strict spiritual spaces like mosques, madrassas (formal Qur’an schools), duksi (informal Qur’an schools) and darsas (sw. yyuo, study circles) often by male ulama (clerics) Nonetheless, the place of media and artistic cultural performances like qaṣīdah (sw. kasida, poems) and nashīd (pl. anāshīd, hymns) in the religious knowledge processes have received little attention. Whereas qaṣīdah were produced and used for meditation and worship in Sufi rituals and mawlid (sw. maulidi, commemoration for the birth of Prophet Muhammad), the advancement of media technology in the 21st century enabled mediatisation of qaṣīdah and anāshīd in ways hitherto known to be possible. This article, therefore, explores: (a) how mediatisation of qaṣīdah and anāshīd departs from traditional norms in the production and dissemination of Islamic knowledge on the coast of Kenya, (b) how mediatised qaṣīdah and anāshīd themes contribute to the production and dissemination of religious knowledge, and (c) the extent at which mediatisation of qaṣīdah and anāshīd facilitated alternative narratives to counter extremist ideologies as well as generate income in the post 9/11 Muslim community in Kenya. Drawing from content analysis of mediatised qaṣīdah and anāshīd, the article enhances our nuanced understanding of the role of artistic performances for not only religious knowledge production and dissemination and religious economic processes, but also countering extremist ideologies in the Muslim world and the coast of Kenya in particular.
Vilanterol vs formoterol in obstructive airway diseases: A comprehensive review of efficacy, safety, and clinical advantages in light of Global Initiative for Asthma 2024 and Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease 2024 guidelines
Authors: Garg Rahul
Published: February 2025

This comprehensive review evaluates the comparative efficacy, safety, and clinical advantages of vilanterol versus formoterol in the management of obstructive airway diseases, with a specific focus on the latest Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) 2024 and Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2024 guideline recommendations. Vilanterol, a novel long-acting β2-agonist (LABA), demonstrates a 24-hour duration of action, allowing for once-daily dosing, compared to formoterol’s twice-daily requirement. Clinical trials in both asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have shown vilanterol-containing combinations to be at least as effective as formoterol-based treatments in improving lung function, symptom control, and quality of life. However, the GINA 2024 guidelines emphasize formoterol’s role in as-needed and maintenance and reliever therapy (MART) approaches for asthma management. In COPD, vilanterol aligns well with GOLD 2024 recommendations, particularly in fixed-dose combinations. Safety analyses indicate a favorable profile for vilanterol, even in high-risk populations. The once-daily dosing of vilanterol offers potential improvements in patient adherence and satisfaction, especially relevant in COPD management. While direct cost comparisons are limited, improved clinical outcomes suggest potential cost-effectiveness benefits. This review concludes that while vilanterol presents several advantages, particularly in COPD management and once-daily regimens, the choice between vilanterol and formoterol should be individualized based on patient characteristics, disease features, and current guideline recommendations.

Objective. To demonstrate one of the methods of surgical treatment of the optic nerve pit using a clinical example.

Methods. Patient P., 37 years old, came to the NMIC "MNTK "Microsurgery of the Eye" with complaints of a gradual decrease in vision in the right eye (OD). The following were performed: visometry, pneumotonometry, autorefractometry, perimetry, direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy, optical coherence tomography. Based on the results of examination and instrumental diagnostics, Vis OD is known to be 0.03 n / k (not corrected), intraocular pressure (IOP) OD = 18 mm Hg. Indirect ophthalmoscopy on OD visualizes an oval, pale depression, measuring 1/5 of the disc diameter (DD), located in the inferotemporal sector of the optic disc, the macular area is detached. Optical coherence tomography showed detachment of the neuroepithelium in the macula, epiretinal fibrosis. The diagnosis was: OD "Optic disc pit. Serous retinal detachment. Epiretinal fibrosis". Surgical treatment of OD was recommended to tamponade the optic disc pit and remove epiretinal fibrosis. During the operation, microinvasive subtotal vitrectomy was performed, the posterior hyaloid membrane was removed, the internal limiting membrane (ILM) with the subsequent use of an inverted ILM flap for tamponade of the optic disc pit, endolaser coagulation (ELC) of the temporal part of the optic disc. Parameters used in ELC: power 100 mW/cm2, wavelength 532 nm, pulse duration 100 ms. Air tamponade was performed intraoperatively. At the final stage, 0.05 ml of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is injected intravitreally over the optic disc pit using a 27G cannula.
Results. Dynamically, a significant decrease in the height of neuroepithelial detachment, the height of retinoschisis in the upper parts of the macular zone, and neuroepithelial edema in the inner parts of the macular zone is noted. The optic disc pit is blocked. Vis OD = 0.25 n/c. IOP OD = 20 mm Hg. During dynamic observation after 5 months, the neuroepithelium is adjacent in all parts of the macular zone.
Conclusions. This method ensures an increase in visual functions and anatomical closure of the optic disc pit due to the high content of growth and trophic factors in PRP; passive aspiration of excess PRP is performed under visual control, achieving its localization in the optic disc. ELC of the retina allows to form a chorioretinal adhesion, which prevents the flow of fluid from the subretinal space under the retinal neuroepithelium, interrupting the progression of detachment in the macular zone. Thus, this method is a combination of methods that allow to achieve anatomical closure of the optic disc pit and improve visual acuity in the postoperative period.
Key words: optic disc pit, central retinal detachment, laser coagulation, platelet-rich plasma, congenital pathology

Purpose. To demonstrate the effectiveness of laser optical reconstructive surgery using a clinical example.

Methods. Patient M., 74, came to S. Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Federal State Institution (Moscow) with complaints of decreased vision in the OS. Diagnosis: OS – pseudophakia. Secondary cataract. Chronic uveitis in remission. Moderate amblyopia. Carried out: autorefractometry, visometry, perimetry, biomicroscopy, indirect ophthalmoscopy, gonioscopy, pneumotonometry. A step-by-step combined laser exposure which included: dissection of the fibrous film on the anterior surface of the intraocular lens, posterior lens capsule, goniosynechia in the area of surgical coloboma, gonioplasty, coreoplasty and coagulation of newly formed vessels.

Results. Examination and testing one week after surgery: Visus 0.2 sph 0 cyl +1.5 Ax 5° = 0.4. IOP (pneumotonometry) = 18 mm Hg; biomicroscopy: the eye is calm, the cornea is transparent, the anterior chamber is of medium depth, the iris pattern is blurred, non-structural, an anterior chamber IOL with pupillary fixation T-03 (21D) was implanted, it is transparent, the capsulotomy hole is formed, slight destruction of the vitreous body; indirect ophthalmoscopy: the macula and optic disc are without visible pathology, the peripheral part of the fundus is without visible pathology. Gonioscopy: there are no goniosynechiae in any segments, in the upper one – the surgical coloboma is expanded.

Conclusion. Optical reconstructive surgery was performed using various laser operations. This combined approach made it possible to improve visual acuity and restore the anatomical and topographic relationships of the anterior segment of the eye
Le monde à l’envers selon Hegel
Authors: Dumont Augustin
Published: February 2025

Cet article interroge la « pédagogie du concept » propre à Hegel, c’est-à-dire le dispositif mis en place par ce philosophe pour intégrer l’apprentissage partagé du sens dans le sens même de la vie de l’esprit. La théâtralité est le vecteur, plus ou moins implicite, plus ou moins explicite, de cette pédagogie dont on voudrait révéler la part d’ombre au lieu même où elle se présente comme anéantissement de l’ombre. On propose en particulier une lecture perspectiviste du chapitre de la Phénoménologie de l’esprit intitulé Force et entendement à la lumière d’une pièce de théâtre de Ludwig Tieck intitulée Le monde à l’envers, qui a peut-être influencé le premier.
Le hors-champ cinématographique relève-t-il de l’imaginé ou de l’imagé ?
Authors: Gravas Florence
Published: February 2025

Il s'agit de confronter l'analyse de la perception d'une oeuvre picturale dans L'Imaginaire de Sartre à l'expérience esthétique et perceptive rendue possible par le film de Lech Majewski : The cross and the Mill, pour réfléchir au silence du philosophe concernant l'art cinématographique dans L’Imaginaire, et symétriquement comprendre en quoi le hors-champ cinématographique ne peut être compris à partir de l'antinomie sartrienne entre conscience imageante et conscience perceptive. En effet, le réalisateur propose d'abord une représentation cinématographique littérale du tableau de Brueghel l'ancien : Le portement de croix. Puis, il le met en scène cinématographiquement. Cette mise en situation particulière du spectateur rend possible de s'interroger sur la nature de son activité face à une peinture d'abord, puis face à un film, quand celui-ci « image » ce qu'il ne voit pas, suivant en cela ce qui lui est suggéré par ce qu'il voit à l’intérieur du cadre pictural ou ce qu’il voit/entend à partir du cadre cinématographique. Si le hors-champ pictural semble bien relever de ce que Sartre appelle l'imaginaire, en revanche, le hors-champ cinématographique relève de différents types de sollicitations de l'activité du spectateur, dont l'une fait de ce qu'il "image" comme hors-champ un élément qui relève de l’activité perceptive.

La présente étude creuse et parcourt en même temps ce que nous nommons l’intervalle cinématographique. Nous ancrons notre propos sur différents cadrages et tailles de plans qui structurent notre démonstration. À travers le mouvement fictif d’une caméra philosophique, cet article désire mettre à l’épreuve du cinéma expressionniste allemand le concept d’image-affection développé par Gilles Deleuze. Ce parcours, enrichi notamment par les apports de la phénoménologie merleau-pontienne, nous permet ultimement d’éclairer le terme ambigu d’expression, terme qui se révélera être au centre d’une dialectique négative, celle qui régit précisément le mouvement cinématographique lui-même.

Polar organic cocrystals hold great promise for various advanced technological applications. However, their relatively low prevalence highlights the challenges of achieving the desired polar packing arrangements, making their discovery complex and demanding. Here, we present a data-driven approach that integrates machine learning (ML) with high-throughput (HT) automation to accelerate the discovery of polar organic cocrystals. Using ML methodologies, we identified key parameters governing polar cocrystal formation, enabling the targeted selection of molecular candidates. A total of 20 cocrystal combinations with chloranilic acid (CA) were explored, with 20 solvent systems screened for each combination, enabling a highly efficient selection process across a vast chemical space. HT automation further streamlined the synthesis and characterization processes through rapid screening and accurate structural validation, while comprehensively exploring the chemical landscape. Experimental validation yielded 16 new hydrogen-bonded cocrystals, 8 in polar space groups, achieving a polar cocrystal discovery rate (50%) over three times higher than the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) average (~14%). his integrated approach represents a new approach in polar organic cocrystal research. The findings highlight the potential of this approach for advancing functional molecular materials, paving the way for next-generation applications using polar organic cocrystals.

Despite high labor costs averaging Rs. 400,414.5362 per hectare, sugarcane cultivation remained profitable, yielding an average net profit of Rs. 416,364.3480 per hectare. Correlation analysis emphasized the importance of cost management and productivity strategies. Challenges such as drought stress and delayed payments were noted, suggesting areas for improvement to enhance the sustainability of sugarcane farming in the region.
DETERMINANTS OF FARMERS’ CHOICE OF DRYING METHODS OF LARGE CARDAMOM (AMOMUM SUBULATUM ROXB.) AMONG SMALLHOLDER FARMERS IN GANDAKI PROVINCE, NEPAL
Authors: Neupane Sudip , Neupane Gaurab , Khanal Pradeep
Published: February 2025

Proper drying of freshly harvested cardamom is an important post-harvest management operation for reducing post-harvest loss and maintaining the quality of the capsule, thereby enhancing income at the farm level. The study aimed at determining factors affecting farmers’ choices of capsule drying methods. The multinomial logistic regression was used to assess determinants of farmers’ choices of drying methods, where the impact of farming experience and access to credit were positive and significant for the choice of double drum dryer over traditional kiln at a 5% level of significance (p<0.05). Membership in cooperatives or farmers’ groups had a positive and significant impact on the farmers’ choice of electric dryers over traditional kilns at a 5% level of significance (p<0.05). Years of schooling of the household head, training related to cardamom drying and storage, annual household income from cardamom, and farm size had positive and significant impacts on farmers’ preference for improved dryers over traditional kilns. These findings suggested that the government and private sectors should invest in the provision of education through training and education campaigns to raise awareness among farmers at the farm level about using improved drying methods.

According to the study, the systemic criterion of rational land use is its efficiency. It derives the essential nature of the processes of rational land use, which contains the fundamental points, and substantiates their content. The authors emphasize that the land policy in Ukraine is aimed at improving the economic, environmental and social efficiency of land use, but insufficient attention has been paid to the environmental component. The paper highlights the relevance of developing clear standards for the values of indicators reflecting the environmental efficiency of land use and regulating its environmental aspects in the context of active processes of land degradation in agricultural areas, soil destruction and land pollution. The article shows the importance of solving the complex problem of rational use of land through the development, substantiation and implementation of an organizational and managerial mechanism containing built-in structural elements: economic, environmental, social, production, and regulatory and legal. We conduct a comparative analysis of the market and planned methods and instruments used to regulate land relations. The authors focus on the role of the state and the legal framework in regulating land relations, a differentiated approach to their subjects, and the specifics of the economic model within which rational land use is ensured.

Authors: Aulia Vivi
Published: February 2025

The genre-based approach (GBA) was one of the writing approaches that helps and facilitates students to explore a focused piece of writing. When students were required to create such a writing form, most of them tended to have difficulties in constructing structured writing. The GBA approach allowed students to improve their writing skills by following specific steps. This systematic literature review reviewed research articles discussing the improvements made in students’ writing outcomes by implementing the GBA. Fifteen research articles from nine different countries were selected from the ERIC, Google Scholars, and Semantic Scholars online article databases. They were analyzed to determine improvements in students’ writing skills based on the results of the research in these nine countries. The results showed that students investigated from research articles in the nine countries showed three types of improvement in writing: writing performance, writing achievement, and writing attitude. Specifically, 8 of 15 research results show that the implementation of GBA provides benefits to improve writing performance. Meanwhile, 5 of 15 research results mention that the students’ writing achievement in terms of their writing score is much better after implementing the GBA. Finally, two research showed an improvement in their writing attitude after the GBA implementation. The conclusion of this research indicates that the utilization of GBA can help and facilitate students to be more productive as well as improve their writing

Reflective thinking is an important factor that can affect a teacher's effectiveness when teaching in the educational setting. This study aims to investigate the relationship between reflective thinking of EFL teachers in Indonesia and their teaching styles. A descriptive-correlational design was employed in the quantitative research method, and a survey with fifteen EFL teachers from different Indonesian schools was used to collect data. With a correlation of 0.757 and a significance value (sig) of 0.0010.05, the statistical analysis's results demonstrated a strong positive or close to significant relationship between teachers' reflective thinking levels and their teaching styles. Additionally, the percentage of 53.3% indicates that EFL teachers in Indonesia tend to use the "All-round flexible, Adaptable teacher" teaching style when teaching students in English in the classroom. This finding illustrates that Indonesian EFL teachers who exhibit high levels of reflective thinking tend to have more effective teaching styles. Suggestions for future research include in-depth research to understand specific aspects of reflective thinking as it relates to teaching styles.

EFL learners employ a set of learning strategies in their learning of English. Learning strategies are claimed to be “internal mental drive” which EFL learners have in mind. Learning strategies are the internal power which enables EFL learners to acquire the so called language knowledge and language skills. It has been assumed that learning strategies are influenced by cultures of EFL learners. Consequently, EFL learners may employ different learning strategies, provided that EFL learners come from different cultures. This current research aims to disclose that each of EFL learners from the East Nusa Tenggara Province (NTT) employs learning strategies, as in fact that in NTT lives many cultures. Specifically, this research treated six EFL learners who are from different cultures. Two learners came from the inland area of Ende (Flores); other two students were from the inland area of Timor and two others were from the city of Kupang, the capital of Kupang Municipality. The results of the research show that these EFL learners use the same learning strategies entailing Metacognitive, cognitive and social mediation strategies. The outstanding discovery of this study is that EFL learners, in their learning, are very much influenced by the so called “instructional learning”. Learning does take place for there is  instruction from their teachers. Autonomous learning, as far as data are concerned, still does not take place. Thus culture, in this study, has no influence to EFL learners in terms of  the use of learning strategies among EFL learners with different cultural background.

In today's developments, the role of educators is not only needed in terms of sharing knowledge with students but also in preparing teaching media and materials that can help accelerate the delivery of material. The purpose of this study was to explore the needs analysis in developing physics e-modules on work and energy material for class X Senior High School. This study employed surveys under quantitative and qualitative approaches. There were 153 students involved in this study. The quantitative data were collected through learning resources and learning media instruments, while qualitative data were collected using interview instruments, questionnaires, observation, analysis of procedures and survey document. The results of this study showed that most of the learning resources and teaching materials used by teachers in schools were printed books with a score of 81%, and the most frequently used media in teaching was PowerPoint media with a score of 41.67%. This fact resulted in the lack of students’ interest in solving everyday problems and low students’ learning outcomes. In other words, the learning media used in the classroom did not suit their needs, so the development of teaching materials and media is needed to facilitate students in learning activities independently. Teaching Work and Energy materials that are widely applied in everyday life requires media in the form of physics e-modules. The development of physics e-modules on work and energy materials can overcome the problems found in the classroom, especially when teaching that material.
