Published: July 2023

Problem-solving ability is one of the essential skills needed in the 21st century. Therefore, there has to be learning media that supports students' problem-solving abilities in physics lessons. One teaching material that is very suitable for the digital era is a digital book, commonly called an ebook. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of digital books in improving problem-solving over the past five years, 2018-2022 taken. This study uses a literature study method that includes reputable international and national journals. From the study results, it was found that during the last five years of the 30 journals we have reviewed, 98% that use of digital books was effective in improving problem-solving skills. This digital book can also improve some of the skills needed in the 21st century. Digital books have many advantages, including lots of pictures, graphs, phenomena, and animations that are relevant to learning physics, making learning physics more fun, and developing students' creativity in exploring and learning physics. Besides that, the drawback of digital books is that they can tire your eyes because you have to linger in front of your cell phone or laptop.

KÖZNEVELÉSBEN HASZNÁLHATÓ, FOGYATÉKOSSÁGOK IRÁNTI SZEMLÉLETFORMÁLÓ PROGRAMOK ÖSSZEHASONLÍTÓ ELEMZÉSE
Authors: Tóth-Szerecz Ágnes
Published: July 2023

A szervezett formában létrehozott szociális érzékenyítés rendkívül erőteljes eszköze lehet annak, hogy a társadalom befogadóbbá váljon a különböző fogyatékosságokkal szemben, s mindezek a fogyatékossággal élő személyek hatékonyabb társadalmi integrációját is támogathatják. Az elutasítás vagy távolságtartás többnyire az információhiány eredménye lehet, így ha a társadalom több rálátást, információt kap mind-ezzel kapcsolatban, feltételezhető a magasabb fokú elfogadás. Az utóbbi évtizedekben látványosan emelkedett azoknak a programoknak, rendezvényeknek a száma, amelyek ezt a célt tűzték ki. Nemzetközi attitűdvizsgálatok konklúziói alapján lényeges változóként fogalmazható meg, hogy a válaszadó milyen minőségű, mennyiségű információval rendelkezik az adott csoportról, hogy a mikrokörnyezetében van-e valamely fogyatékossággal élő személy, létesített-e már velük interakciót, s a közvetlen környezettől kapott impulzusok, a családi értékrend is befolyásoló tényező lehet. A témában végzett külföldi kutatások továbbá arra is rámutatnak, hogy a korai életkorban megkezdett szemléletformálás igazán hatásos lehet, s hogy az intézményes nevelésben kapott impulzusok nagymértékben meghatározhatják azt, hogy fogyatékkal élő társaikkal szemben milyen lesz a diákok attitűdje. A nemzetközi és hazai attitűdkutatások összefoglalása után egy ezek mentén összeállított szempontrendszer segítségével történt meg a Magyarországon, intézményes nevelés keretein belül elérhető érzékenyítő programok elemzése, amelyek alkalmasak lehetnek a fogyatékosság iránti szemléletformálásra. Az elemzés szempontjai közé sorolható, hogy a fogyatékosságok hány típusát foglalja magában, mely korosztály számára alkalmas program, milyen intenzitással, hány alkalommal lehetséges a részvétel, az ismeretátadás jellege, valamint hogy van-e lehetőség kontaktusba kerülni fogyatékos személlyel, lehetőséget adva ezzel a személyes tapasztalatgyűjtésre. Az elemzés célja, hogy az elérhető programok közül a külföldi attitűdkutatások eredményeivel összevetve a leg-optimálisabb, legszélesebb körben alkalmazható érzékenyítő programok kirajzolódjanak.

The results of our comparative analysis of parameters of the leukocyte blood system of underyearlings and mature specimens of the common viper Vipera berus are presented. The material was the blood of 36 females and 26 males caught in the Middle Volga basin, and 13 underyearlings born in captivity from 4 females of this sample. V. b. berus underyearlings differed: from the females by a lower content of heterophils and azurophils, an increased content of eosinophils and basophils, an increase in the leukocyte shift index, a decrease in the lymphocytic–granulocytic index, the index of the of heterophil–eosinophil ratio, the index of the lymphocyte–eosinophil ratio; from the males by a reduced content of heterophils, an increased content of eosinophils and basophils, an increase in the leukocyte shift index, the index of the heterophil–eosinophil ratio, and the index of the lymphocyte–eosinophil ratio. In general, the adaptive response of the blood system of underyearlings indicated the later activation of lymphocytes as an effector link and the imbalance of the immune response due to the lack of a resource of immunocompetent cells (agranulocytes) compared with the indices of adults from natural populations.

The paper discusses the distribution of Bufo verrucosissimus in the North Caucasus. It is noted that the absolute majority of findings of this species in Russia have occurred in the Black Sea basin. All currently known habitats of B. verrucosissimus in the Caspian basin are located in the upper part of the Kuma River basin (the vicinity of Kislovodsk town and Borgustanskaya village in the Stavropol region). New points of findings are shown between the mouths of the Ugol’naya and Kladbishchenskaya Balka rivers (left tributaries of the Kuma River), as well as near Bekeshevskoye Lake (Predgorniy district, Stavropol region). The authors believe that B. verrucosissimus may be distributed along the gallery forests of the Kuma River up to Georgievsk town and Soldato-Alexandrovskoye village.

Authors: Deshpande Jyoti , Jadhao Pooja R.
Published: July 2023

Background: We assessed postoperative analgesic effect of ultrasound guided ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block, duration of action of the said block as well as the overall analgesic consumption in the first 24 hours of postoperative period after addition of dexamethasone.
Methods: After approval from the institutional ethics committee, hospital based randomized prospective study was carried out in patients of age group 40-60 years by dividing them into two groups A and B, posted for unilateral inguinal hernioplasty, comparing ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric block with ropivacaine 0.375% and ropivacaine 0.375% with dexamethasone 4mg respectively. The aim of the study was to assess the postoperative analgesia with visual analogue scale (VAS) and satisfactory score and total analgesic consumption and time till rescue analgesia. Statistical Analysis: We used Chi-square test and paired t test and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Mean of duration of analgesia was significantly prolonged in group B (14.13±3.461 h) as compared to group A (5.77±2.161 h). Patients in group B had significantly lower VAS score and less number of rescue analgesic requirements in first 24 hours (h) postoperatively. No adverse effects recorded in any group.
Conclusion: Dexamethasone as an adjuvant with ropivacaine in ultrasound guided ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric block provided profound prolongation of duration of postoperative analgesia and reduces analgesic consumption of patients undergoing subarachnoid block for unilateral inguinal hernioplasty.

Background: Cytokine storm in severe Covid-19 disease is one of the leading causes of death in these patients. Hemoperfusion is a method used to purify the blood from toxins and inflammatory factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hemoperfusion on mortality and morbidity in patients with severe Covid - 19 disease.
Methods: This was a retrospective study which performed by reviewing the files of 30 patients with severe Covid-19 disease referred to Sina Hospital affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 2020. Thirty patients with severe covid-19 disease and positive PCR participated in the study. All patients received routine treatment protocol for covid-19. Hemoperfusion was used for 15 patients in addition to receiving routine care. The remaining 15 patients were included in the control group. Patients in the hemoperfusion group underwent four sessions of hemoperfusion using continuous renal replacement therapy with continuous venovenous hemofiltration.
Results: the ICU length of stay in the control and hemoperfusion groups was 3.40 ± 11.40 and 9.65 ± 16.33 days, respectively (P= 0.075). 8 patients died and 7 patients were discharged in the control group, but 11 patients died and 4 patients were discharged in the hemoperfusion group (P= 0.256). The respiratory rate of patients in the control and hemoperfusion groups decreased from 7.43 ± 29.40 to 4.03 ± 24.60 and from 6.11 ± 31.60 to 5.04 ± 24.46, respectively (P < 0.001). The percentage of arterial blood oxygen saturation in the control and hemoperfusion groups increased from 90.86 ± 5.61 to 93.06 30 4.30 and from 92.33 26 3.26 to 92.06 31 5.31, respectively (P= 0.456).
Conclusion: Hemoperfusion could not prevent the mortality of patients and finally out of 15 patients, 11 patients died and 4 patients were discharged. Also, no significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of arterial blood oxygen saturation.

Published: July 2023

Background: Edible insects are rich in protein, amino acids, fat, vitamins, and trace elements. However, they are the potential carriers of toxicants, allergenic substances, anti-nutrients, and pathogens. The present study aims to determine the proximate and nutritional, fatty acid, metal composition, and microbial load of palm weevil larvae (Rhynchophorus phoenicis Fabricius, (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)), an insect species commonly consumed in Nigeria.
Methods: Twenty five R. phoenicis were randomly collected in April, 2021 from different local farms. The insects were exterminated by freezing and thereafter defrosted at room temperature in the laboratory; with the exception of the samples for moisture analysis, they were oven dried to a constant weight at around 65 °C for 24 h, grounded, and analyzed for proximate content, fatty acids, metals, and microbial load following standard laboratory procedures.
Results: The results show that R. phoenicis contained 45.60% crude fat, 15.79% crude fiber, and 5.25% crude protein by weight. Linoleic acid, oleic acid, and palmitic acid made up most of the fatty acid concentrations at 54.13, 23.86, and 14.19%, respectively. Iron (Fe) content was the highest metal (4.923 ppm), followed by manganese (Mn; 2.767 ppm) and zinc (Zn; 1.04 ppm). The isolated microorganisms were mold and yeast (5×10-5 Colony Forming Unit (CFU)/g), Staphylococcus sp. (33×10-5 CFU/g), and Micrococcus/Bacillus substilis sp. (5×10-5 CFU/g).
Conclusion: The high nutritional composition present in R. phoenicis evaluated in this study, compared to the dietary protein value obtained from other animal food sources, suggests the need for their adoption as animal protein and essential fatty acid sources in human diets.

Published: July 2023

Background: With regard to health-threatening infections, Staphylococcus aureus is the leading cause of polymorphic infections varying from a banal tegumentary infection to numerous lethal illnesses. Furthermore, it is the third commonest bacterial cause of food-borne infections worldwide.This study aimed to investigate contamination, prevalence, and antibiotic resistance of S. aureus isolated from several widely marketed food products (raw and processed) in the region of Oran, Algeria.
Methods: A total of 350 food samples including prepared meals (n=110), dairy products (n=42), pastry (n=78), meat and its derivatives (n=97), and other commercially available foods (egg products, sweets, and sauces) (n=23) have been randomly purchased from diverse sale outlets and screened for S. aureus strains during the period from July 2021 to September 2022. The isolation and identication of S. aureus bacteria were preformed using conventional culture and biochemical tests such as catalase, coagulase, and DNase tests. Furthermore, the strains were screened for their resistance to five different antimicrobial drugs using the agar diffusion method.
Results: The overall prevalence of S. aureus determined among the collecteded samples was 31.14% (109/350), where, pastry products harbored the highest contamination rate (43.59%), and prepared meals, the lowest contamination rate (18.18%). The strains presented a high level of resistance (58.71-39.44%) for gentamycin and oxacilin, respectively. Moreover, the lowest level of resistance was observed against erythromycin 16.51%, and about 83% of strains presented multidrug resistance.
Conclusion: The significative prevalence and the high level of multidrug resistant of S. aureus highlights the seriousness to improve food contamination prevention programs and underlines that good hygiene practices at sale outlets has a major impact on the sanitary quality of commercialized food products.

Published: July 2023

Background: Sesame cake extract is the by-product left behind after sesame oil extraction including almost 30% of protein and phytochemicals, which possess free radical scavenging activity. In this study, antioxidant activity of sesame cake extract on the quality of refined sesame oil has been evaluated under 60 ◦C during storage time.
Methods: After extraction of ethanolic extract, sesame oil was treated with concentrations of 0, 20, 50, and 100 ppm of sesame cake extract and stored at 60 °C for 30 days. The sesame cake and refined sesame oil were taken from Yazd province and extracted with ethanol. Total Phenolic Content (TPC) (at the beginning of the study) and 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity (30 days after inoculation) were evaluated. The antioxidant activity of various dilution of the Sesame Cake Ethanol Extract (SCEE) was assessed by measuring, rancimat analysis, Peroxide Value (PV), and Thiobarbituric Acid (TBA) assay, and also evaluation of the TPC. Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA) as a synthetic antioxidant was used. Experiments were carried out in triplicates and data were processed with ANOVA test by SPSS Software.
Results: Radical-scavenging capabilities of SCEE were significantly larger than the group without SCEE but it was detected to be lower than the BHA group. The induction period (IP) of sesame oil raised as the concentration of SCEE increased. All concentrations of SCEE were able to decline the PV and TBA value. Also, the group containing BHA and 100 μg/ml of SCEE significantly showed the same antioxidant activity (p≤0.05).
Conclusion: The SCEE as a natural substance can prevent lipid oxidation of the refined sesame oil like synthetic antioxidants.
“AUTHOR'S CONSCIOUSNESS” AND THE SEMANTIC CENTER OF AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL WORK
Authors: Sklyar Natalia V.
Published: July 2023

The essence of the conceptual and figurative concept in linguistic and literary approach is studied. The conceptual-figurative concept is one of the units that fill the figurative-semantic system of the author. Its function in an autobiographical work is considered as a way of transmitting the author's consciousness, which is an organizing center that has a multi-level structure and a complex content of an artistic work. The role of the conceptual and figurative concept in the formation of the semantic center of the work is determined. The conceptual-figurative concept in an artistic autobiographical text is understood as a verbalized value-significant mental unit of an individual author's picture of the world. The unit under study is considered from two points of view: as a generally accepted knowledge and as a reflection of the author's subjective experience of experiencing reality.

THE DON CHEKHOV? ON THE PROBLEM OF LITERARY ATTRIBUTION OF R. P. KUMOV
Authors: Goldenberg Arkady Kh.
Published: July 2023

The article discusses the evolution of R. P. Kumov, one of the largest Don writers of the Silver Age, perceived by modern critics as the "Don Chekhov". This was facilitated by the lyrical beginning of his style, subtle psychologism in the depiction of characters, for the most part people of the clergy – from a novice to a bishop. At the beginning of his career, he openly focuses on the plots of Chekhov's famous works, uses the techniques of his poetics, creating a kind of literary palimpsest. But already in the first half of the 1910s, new themes, characters, motives appeared in his prose and especially in dramaturgy, the desire to depict acute conflicts of our time, large and controversial characters. After 1917, he became a witness and artistic chronicler of the Don Vendee, a fratricidal civil war on the Don. Cossack folklore, motifs and images of folk eschatology play a significant role in his Don texts. All this indicates the need to revise the established ideas about the literary attribution of the writer and his place in Russian literature of the 20th century. The lyrical "mood" as the dominant beginning of his poetics, landscape painting are in many ways related to the aesthetics of Russian impressionism (B. Zaitsev, I. Shmelev, S.N. Sergeev-Tsensky). It is no coincidence that the writer especially singled out S.N. Sergeev-Tsensky. However, this aspect of Kumov's poetics requires special study. Kumov's artistic method cannot be reduced to a single formula. A systematic approach is required to the problem of the evolution of his work, in which romance and realism, spiritual and religious, and psychological, Don and all-Russian, "native and universal" turned out to be inseparable. The definition of the "Don Chekhov" reflects only one of the features of his artistic manner, which is very important, but not accurate enough for literary attribution of the writer's work.
P. HÜHN WORKS: NARRATOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF THE EVENT CATEGORY
Authors: Lozinskaya Evgeniya V.
Published: July 2023

A significant phenomenon in modern narratology is a complex concept of eventfulness, which P. Hühn has been developing for many years in several books and numerous articles. In his theoretical elaborations P. Hühn relies on a close reading of individual texts, considered in comparative and historical context. P. Hühn interprets event as a hermeneutic category, reflecting not only objectively existing intratextual structures, but also the significance of changes in narrative situation for perceiving subject, which can be a character as well as a narrator or an implicit / real reader. For P. Hühn an event is not any change of situation, but a change that is relevant, unexpected and unusual, so the researcher links it not to a minimalist definition of narrative, as many other narratologists do, but to the concept of tellability. Hühn refers to Lotman’s plot model and R. Shank and P. Abelson’s theory of cognitive schemata as a theoretical bases, he also demonstrates their complementarity in the practical analysis of artistic narratives. P. Hühn puts special accent on the historical and cultural variability of eventfulness, which manifests itself, on the one hand, in a more or less frequent occurrence of events in literary narratives, and on the other hand, in the variablity of changes that might be interpreted as events in different historical and cultural contexts. An important feature of P. Hühn’s theory is the analysis of events on several narrative levels – not only on the level of happenings (the level of the story / histoire), but also on the levels of presentation and reception. Another original element of Hühn’s theory is the notion of non-event that covers cases when the absence of relevant and unexpected changes is perceived as an event, since it contradicts readers’ expectations. Hühn analyses eventfullness not only in fictional prose, but also in dramatic and lyrical works.
Perceived benefits, motivations and preferences for foreign language learning by older adults. Insights from an initiative in Cuenca, Ecuador
Authors: Mora Juan F. , Abad Mónica P.
Published: July 2023

This study explores the perceptions and attitudes of older adults from Cuenca, Ecuador, towards English language learning. A total of 151 people (mean age 70.3 years) responded to a questionnaire consisting of 50 items. Factor, multiple regression and cluster analysis were conducted with the objective to define the dimensions underlying older adults’ perceptions, motivations, and ambitions to learn later in life a foreign language and their relation to the socio-demographic characteristics of the participating group. Findings suggest that the interest to study a foreign language is based on the perceptions that it improves a person’s social interaction, personal development, functioning and maintenance of mind and memory, and it activates and makes life more dynamic. Results revealed that the participants’ main motivation to take an English language course is related to the increased potential of using this language in daily life and the ability of insightful reading of English texts. The duration of the course and the attainment of a certificate were determinant factors, and enabled the grouping of the participants according to their preferences with respect to the practical design of an English course. Furthermore, age and school level were found to be the motivating variables affecting most of the participants’ responses.

Las orquídeas producen abundantes semillas pequeñas, careciendo de endospermo, cotiledones y sustancias de reserva para llevar a cabo su germinación. Es por esto que estratégicamente las semillas establecen una relación simbiótica con un hongo micorrízico que favorece a su germinación y desarrollo. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la especificidad del hongo micorrízico (Rhizoctonia sp.) en la germinación de cinco géneros de orquídeas. Se usaron dos medios de cultivo: 1) PhytamaxTM y 2) avena-agar+Rhizoctonia sp. Los resultados evaluados a los 45 y 75 días demuestran que no existe especificidad entre el hongo Rhizoctonia sp. y Trichoceros antenifer, especie de la cual se aisló el hongo. La germinación en tres de los cinco géneros evaluados fue mayor en el tratamiento avena-agar+Rhizoctonia sp., evidenciando también mayor tamaño y vigor las plantas que se desarrollaron en este tratamiento, aunque estos datos no fueron evaluados. Los resultados sugieren también que la planta hospedera del hongo inoculado podría tener una ventaja en cuanto al tiempo requerido para su germinación; sin embargo otras, especies también se ven favorecidas con el inóculo, aunque éste sea obtenido de otra fuente.
La Experiencia diferencial de género en el espacio urbano
Authors: Palacios Jaramillo Patricia del Carmen
Published: July 2023

Este artículo refleja cómo se producen las desigualdades de género en las ciudades y recupera elementos teórico-metodológicos que podrían resultar pertinentes para la implementación de un enfoque alternativo en urbanismo. Se usaron ejemplos del caso de Quito-Ecuador, para ilustrar dichas desigualdades y cómo estas son o deben ser percibidas por quienes inciden política y técnicamente en el desarrollo urbano. La perspectiva usada es teórica, de género y feminista, con la cual se pudo concluir que las ciudades y el espacio urbano son sistemas socioespaciales complejos y cambiantes producidos colectivamente que inciden de manera diferente y desigual en las personas, dependiendo de su condición socioeconómica, de género, étnica, generacional, entre otras. En tal sentido, no son estructuras ni sistemas neutros, pues promueven y mantienen las desigualdades o las combaten.

Este artigo tem a finalidade de analisar a possibilidade da utilização da mediação como um fim possível na resolução de conflitos socioambientais. As discussões envolvendo a proteção do direito ao meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado tornam-se crescentes no país, especialmente após grandes desastres ambientais, uma vez que eles geram processos complexos, extensos e morosos. São inúmeros os atingidos que tiveram suas vidas modificadas e, de modo legítimo, essas pessoas esperam uma solução célere por parte do Poder Judiciário. Este, por sua vez, enfrenta dificuldades para compor os supramencionados litígios, seja pela ausência de corpo técnico especializado na temática ambiental, seja pela falta de recursos próprios para a solução desses conflitos ou até mesmo pela conhecida sobrecarga de trabalho. Assim, o objetivo deste texto é realizar uma análise da mediação socioambiental, tutela extrajudicial de promoção do acesso à justiça em lides ambientais. Para tanto, o método dedutivo foi utilizado, baseado na revisão bibliográfica de documentos legislativos. Ao final, concluir-se-á que a complexidade fática que embasa os conflitos socioambientais requer a utilização de meios dialógicos para sua composição, visto que o simples deferimento ou não de determinada pretensão no mais das vezes não é apto a compor litígios dessa natureza.

Published: July 2023

A indústria da moda é uma das atividades econômicas com maior influência cultural, social e ambiental. Sendo um tema relevante sob a ótica da sustentabilidade, suscita-se o seguinte problema de pesquisa: considerando o modelo de produção fast fashion, é possível afirmar que, no Brasil, essa prática é responsável por incentivar o consumo excessivo de produtos e serviços relacionados ao ramo da moda, afetando diretamente o direito à sustentabilidade? O objetivo da pesquisa é analisar de que maneira o modelo de produção fast fashion incentiva o consumo excessivo de produtos e serviços relacionados ao ramo da moda no Brasil, afetando diretamente o direito à sustentabilidade. A pesquisa empregou o método de abordagem dedutivo e de procedimento monográfico, a partir da técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica. Conclui-se que o modelo de produção fast fashion é um construto da sociedade de consumo e que a sustentabilidade na indústria da moda não é rápida ou linear, mas pode ocorrer por meio da mudança de aspectos da cadeia de produção, com a adoção de um novo modelo conceitual.

The platonic experience in nineteenth century : England
Authors: Cruzalegui Sotelo Patricia
Published: July 2023

LA EXPERIENCIA PLATÓNICA en la Inglaterra del siglo XIX explora dos áreas de interés que siempre han sido de inmensa importancia en mi vida intelectual y emocional: la filosofía de Platón y la cultura británica y particularmente la del siglo XVIII. La presencia de Platón durante el siglo XIX inglés fue especialmente constante y multiforme. Apareció integrado a la poesía en el romanticismo, ya que hubo una fuerte creencia durante la mayor parte del siglo XIX de que el platonismo era una forma de literatura poética. En la época victoriana, la época de máximo esplendor del interés por Platón, surgió un amplio abanico de interpretaciones tanto dentro como fuera del mundo académico. Por lo tanto, la segunda parte del siglo vio la investigación erudita y la crítica utilitarista de George Grote, así como las tres ediciones de la gran traducción de Platón al inglés por Benjamin Jowett, renombrado teólogo liberal y maestro moralizador del Balliol College Oxford. Le siguió Walter Pater con su versión esteta del platonismo como filosofía sensual, erotizada y lánguida. Esta tesis es el resultado de mi investigación sobre las interpretaciones, traducciones y lecturas eminentes de Platón en el siglo XIX británico y se plantea los siguientes objetivos. En primer lugar, señalar y documentar la existencia establecida de una tradición platónica en la filosofía y la literatura del siglo XIX que coexistía con las más auténticas, por utilizar una aproximación a la realidad banal, aristotélica y empirista. El segundo objetivo es demostrar que el platonismo fue utilizado y adaptado a las distintas imágenes del mundo que se fueron forjando a lo largo del siglo. Ejemplos de estos fueron el utilitarismo, el darwinismo social, la eugenesia, la democracia de las élites, el liberalismo cristiano y el esteticismo. El tercer objetivo es analizar cómo osciló el prestigio de Platón en diferentes períodos del siglo XIX, así como la forma en que este prestigio fue utilizado con mayor o menor éxito para validar ideologías y formas de vida innovadoras o alternativas frente a a los de convención. En cuarto lugar, deseo destacar el papel crucial que jugó Benjamin J owett en la divulgación de un platonismo a la medida de los ideales victorianos de orden y progreso, y también señalar cómo este mismo Platón proporcionó y moldeó, aunque involuntariamente, el ideal prohibido de la relación homoerótica de los estetas de fin de siglo. Mi objetivo final es sugerir las derivaciones contemporáneas de algunas de estas interpretaciones, en el campo de la literatura, la política, la sexualidad y la filosofía.

Background: IMTA is an integrated and eco-friendly farming approach, where organisms from different trophic levels can be cultured in the same system to take advantage of the synergistic interaction between species. Methods: The experiment was conducted in earthen ponds for four months to investigate the effect of bivalves (M. casta) in halophyte-based IMTA on water quality, growth performance and microbial load. Shrimp and fish were fed with commercial feed containing 35% and 30% crude protein, respectively. Result: The total ammonia nitrogen, nitrate-nitrogen and nitrite were comparatively low in treatments, T1 (0.13±0.012, 0.013±0.003 and 0.45±0.01, respectively) and T2 (0.15±0.005, 0.017±0.003 and 0.50±0.01, respectively). Similarly, the better average body weight, specific growth rate and feed conversion ratio were found in treatments, T1 (Shrimp: 33.87±0.88 g, 6.20±0.01% 1.10±0.02 respectively, Fish: 94.18±0.08 g, 1.59±0.001% and 1.60±0.006 respectively) and T2 (Shrimp: 32.37±0.60 g, 6.16±0.02% and 1.15±0.02 respectively fish: 92.91±0.2 g, 1.59±0.009 and 1.63±0.08 respectively). Therefore it can be concluded that the use of bivalves helps to create better water quality for the growth and survival of P. vannamei and M. cephalus in halophyte-based integrated multi-trophic aquaculture.

THE ACCEPTANCE FACTORS FOR ISLAMIC BANKING FINTECH SEVICES: EXTENDED TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE MODEL (TAM) APPROACH
Authors: Rohmah Lailatur , Mumtahanah Nurul Lailatul , Pratiwi Evrina Ross
Published: July 2023

Era 4.0 requires Islamic banking to optimize its services through digital platforms to make it easier for customers to transact. Indonesia is a large market for Islamic banking products, so Islamic banking should provide the best possible digital services and people will be more interested in using Islamic bank products. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the factors that influence customers in using Islamic bank services online so that the quality of digital services can be improved. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the acceptance of Islamic bank customers for financial technology (Fintech) services in Indonesia by using the Extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) approach. The TAM model states that system users tend to use the system if the system is easy to use and useful for its users. Extended TAM adds a consumer innovation variable, namely the degree to which an individual is relatively earlier in adopting an innovation than other members of the system. This research is a type of quantitative research using primary and secondary data. Primary data was obtained from a survey of Islamic bank customers using convenience sampling. Secondary data is obtained from related literature sourced from journals, articles, books, and official government or banking websites. The results show that the acceptance of Islamic banking fintech services in Indonesia is determined by the perceived ease of use and customer innovation (consumer innovativeness), while the perceived usefulness does not affect the acceptance of Islamic bank customers for the use of mobile banking. This research will be useful as a reference for policymakers, academics, and researchers in the future.
