Dynamic System Modeling of Concentrated Electrical Energy Provision with Reducing CO2 Emissions in East Nusa Tenggara
Authors: Sinaga Rusman , Mangngi Frans , Ginting Purnawarman
Published: July 2024

Electric Power Generation (EPG) sourced from Fossil Energy (FE) has triggered an increase in CO_2 emissions in the atmosphere resulting in global warming which has a systemic impact on climate change. Whatever form of mechanism to reduce the increase in earth's temperature must be implemented. One way is to use a Solar Water Pump (SWP). This research aims to determine the use of EPG in East Nusa Tenggara (ENT) and find the amount of CO_2 emissions that can be reduced using SWP. This research uses dynamic modeling methods. The research results show that the production of electrical energy sourced from FE until 2030 is 2.270.656 MWh (87.77%), while the production of electrical energy sourced from RE is 316.441 MWh (12.23% ). EPG sourced from FE in ENT results in CO_2 emissions at 22.603.641 tons. According to survey results, conversion of FEPWP to SWP can reduce CO_2 emissions at 424.942 tons.

Published: July 2024

Advances in technology today encourage many changes in human life from the information age to the digital era in all fields. Currently, almost all activities can be enjoyed through smartphones. Utilization of technology is one of the innovative steps to attract people's reading interest. This is not the case with e-book applications that already have many versions in development. However, with so many e-book applications that can be downloaded for free or paid for, it is still not an infrastructure to be able to attract people's reading interest which is very concerning. So we need an e-book application that can attract people's reading interest. The purpose of this research is expected to produce an e-book application that is more efficient, economical and provides convenience so that it can attract people's reading interest.The method used in this research is the prototyping method which consists of stages of communication, planning, modeling, prototype formation and deployment and feedback.Based on the results of the study, it shows that this mobile bookstore application can attract users' reading interest. This is evidenced by the results of user responses with an average value of 84%.

Authors: Kinanthi Bilqis Rahma , Habiddin Habiddin , Sumari Sumari , Suwasono Purbo , Santosa Santosa
Published: July 2024

Science learning that only focuses on the assignment and exposure to material can cause students to be less interested and less motivated to learn science. One example of a student's worksheet (Lembar Kerja Peserta Didik in Indonesian, LKPD)  that effectively attracts students' learning interest is using the LKPD format in comics because it combines visual elements with words. The content of comics can be arranged based on scientific events and dialogues from everyday life, helping students understand the relationship between science and the context of everyday life. This study aims to determine the role of comic-based LKPD in attracting interest and motivation to learn science for grade 9B students of SMPN 11 Malang. This research is included in quantitative descriptive research using survey methods. The data collection for this study was done through a questionnaire distributed through Google Forms with a Likert interval scale. The results of the questionnaire data analysis show that 81.83% of students strongly agree that comic-based LKPD attracts their interest and motivation to learn.

Vectores, militares y nativos: fiebre amarilla y paludismo en Yucatán, 1911-1912
Authors: Alcalá Ferráez Carlos
Published: July 2024

Este artículo presenta la discusión de los conocimientos médicos sobre la fiebre amarilla durante un episodio epidémico que se presentó en la ciudad de Mérida y otros poblados del estado de Yucatán, entre los años de 1911 y 1912. Este trabajo se elaboró con base en los reportes científicos de los médicos que realizaron investigaciones sobre esta enfermedad y el paludismo. Se revisó el Boletín de Estadística para contrastar las cifras proporcionadas tanto por los científicos como por las autoridades sanitarias. En cuanto a los episodios epidémicos, los reportes eran críticos con las disposiciones de las autoridades sanitarias porque no hacían un seguimiento constante de las personas susceptibles. Por otra parte, el origen del padecimiento rompía con los postulados de la literatura médica. Además, las manifestaciones clínicas de los enfermos del interior generaron un debate sobre los métodos para el diagnóstico a través de los análisis de laboratorio y la terapéutica.
Poverty and relative housing cost in Santiago (Chile): a historical perspective (1966-2020)
Authors: Casanova Brito Mauricio
Published: July 2024

This article aims to analyze the relative cost of housing in Chile between 1966 and 2022. Specialized literature in this field focuses on four main themes: the impact of the neoliberal model on housing policies, the issue of property and renting, the maintenance of shantytowns, and issues of space and architecture. While there is consensus on the positive impact of social policies on access to housing for low-income families, debates persist regarding poverty and marginality. The research employs the Occupational and Unemployment Survey of Gran Santiago conducted by the Microdata Center of the University of Chile, administered quarterly since 1957 in all districts of Gran Santiago, with an annual survived population of around 10 000 individuals and 2 000 to 3 000 family groups. The findings reveal that: 1) the reduction in the relative cost of housing is more significant in non-poor households than in poor households; 2) in comparison to the international average, there is a decrease in the relative cost from 2000 to 2010, followed by an increase between 2011 and 2017; 3) the relative cost rises in impoverished sectors, particularly in the bottom 10% of income earners; 4) the reduction in relative cost is more pronounced in rented homes than in owned ones.

Keywords: Chile; housing; relative poverty; income.
Computação Afetiva Aplicada ao Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem: a Possibilidade do Mapeamento Neurocognitivo de Estudantes na Educação a Distância
Authors: Gava Gustavo Luiz , Torres Patrícia Lupion
Published: July 2024

Desde que a pandemia de Covid-19 assolou a realidade de diferentes segmentos de trabalho em 2020, forçando a adaptação aos modelos de atuação remota e/ou home office, praticamente inúmeras áreas tiveram que se reposicionar diante de seus públicos. Na educação, não foi diferente. Por exemplo, observou-se o aumento do uso de ferramentas digitais para o ensino, especialmente por meio de experiências online. Isso, por sua vez, gerou preocupações quanto ao impacto emocional nas pessoas durante os estudos. Nesse contexto, o objetivo geral da pesquisa foi desenvolver uma estratégia neurocognitiva hipotética capaz de acompanhar afetivamente a aprendizagem online de estudantes na Educação a Distância, com o propósito de identificar possíveis necessidades emocionais durante os estudos em ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem. A pergunta problema que norteou essa pesquisa foi: qual estratégia poderia ser capaz de contribuir para o acompanhamento afetivo da aprendizagem online de estudantes na Educação a Distância, isto é, para identificar as necessidades emocionais durante os estudos via ambiente virtual de aprendizagem? A metodologia foi de natureza bibliográfica, qualitativa e exploratória. Nela, buscou-se estabelecer uma relação conjunta entre cinco campos de estudos: 1) Neuroeducação, uma área contemporânea do conhecimento educacional que investiga as emoções humanas e o processo de aprendizagem; 2) Arquitetura Pedagógica, que analisa a integração de estratégias e objetivos de aprendizagem de ponta a ponta em ambientes de educação a distância; 3) Computação Afetiva, campo de estudo que visa investigar como os computadores, por meio de hardware e software, podem simular as emoções humanas; 4) Ética Informacional, que reflete sobre as questões éticas importantes relacionadas à privacidade dos usuários e de seus dados emocionais sensíveis em ambientes virtuais; e 5) Teoria Ator-Rede, um campo teórico que aborda a inter-relação humano e não-humano por meio de rastros ativos em redes físicas e virtuais. Por fim, utilizou-se um framework, inicialmente de caráter conceitual, com o objetivo de estruturar estrategicamente a organização hipercomplexa dos agentes envolvidos na Educação a Distância (EaD). No futuro, esse framework poderá também servir como um instrumento de mapeamento das emoções, a ser implantado como um sistema de gestão das plataformas de aprendizagem. Os resultados alcançados destacam que a Computação Afetiva aliada à Teoria Ator-Rede poderia servir como estratégia aplicada à Educação a Distância, por meio de um instrumento inspirado em framework, futura e supostamente arquitetado e acoplado à plataforma virtual de aprendizagem online capaz de mapear emoções. E, assim, servindo como um facilitador de identificação neurocognitiva, isto é, capaz de indicar e compreender os processos cognitivos e emocionais dos estudantes.

Authors: Edokpa David O , Ede Precious N , Brown Joshua , Adeyemi Adewale J , Pukiche Isaac U
Published: July 2024

This study analyses diurnal weather patterns in the lower atmosphere across four climate domains in Nigeria from Era-Interim data for synoptic hours of 0000, 0600, 1200 and 1800 hours from 2010-2015. The climate domain includes: Port Harcourt (tropical maritime), Enugu (bi-modal tropical continental), Jos (montane), Kano (mono-modal tropical continental) and Maiduguri (semi-arid). Findings revealed that air temperature across the areas indicate strong latitudinal positions with drier and hotter weather pattern northwards. Average air temperature across diurnal hours were 23.2-26oC, 23-29oC, 26-32oC, 26-34oC and 26.6-34 oC for Port Harcourt, Enugu, Jos, Kano and Maiduguri. Average solar radiation peaked at 1200 noon with values 508 W/m2, 639 W/m2, 830 W/m2, 905 W/m2, 832 W/m2 for the areas. Average wind speed increases northwards, i.e. 0.9-1.3m/s, 2.0-2.5m/s, 2.1-2.5m/s, 2.4-3.0m/s and 2.9-3.5m/s respectively. The wind variation is due to the surface characteristics across the areas. Southwesterly winds dominated coastal zone while southeasterly/northeasterly winds dominated the arid zone except during periods of peak rainy season. Average cloud cover for the coastal and northern domains in oktas was: 6-7 and 2-4. Relative humidity shows that prevailing atmospheric conditions at any given time are stronger at the areas close to the sources of influence and the position of Intertropical discontinuity (ITD). Humidity values were: 67-93% and 31-71% for coastal and northern domains. Rainfall amount reduces northwards i.e. 200-46 mm. Rainfall pattern is significantly influenced by the air masses source regions. These regions include closeness to massive water bodies, proximity to Sahara Desert and effects of mountainous barriers.
The relationship between organizational learning and innovation capability in the Vietnamese banking sector
Authors: Viet Ha, Nguyen Thi
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the influence of organizational learning on the innovation capability of commercial banks in Vietnam. Its aim is to identify the nature of the relationship between these constructs and empirically examine whether organizational learning practices impact banks' innovation capabilities. This research uses in-depth interviews with a large-scale survey administered to employees across various Vietnamese commercial banks employing a mixed-methods approach. Data collection primarily relied on questionnaires with 280 valid responses to explore the direct and indirect effects of organizational learning on innovation capability. Quantitative analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were conducted using Smart-PLS software to assess scale reliability, test hypotheses and analyze the collected data. The findings confirm a direct and positive relationship between organizational learning and bank innovation capability. Three factors such as commitment to learning, shared vision and open-mindedness were found to exert significant positive influences on the bank’s product and process innovation. However, intra-organizational knowledge sharing exhibited a significant and positive impact only on process innovation with an insignificant effect on product innovation. This finding concerning the limited influence of knowledge sharing on product innovation represents a critical discovery, warranting further investigation into the underlying reasons. It potentially highlights the need for a nuanced understanding of open innovation within the context of commercial banking.
Exploring morphological diversity in carrot (Daucus carota l.) germplasm: A multivariate analysis approach
Authors: Arif Uzma , Jatoi Shakeel Ahmad
Published: July 2024

This study looks at how quantitative parameter variation changes over two years in different carrot accessions and the genetic diversity that exists in a group of accessions that come from different parts of the world. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to assess the significance of different factors, including the block effect, treatment effect, and check effect. The result indicated a significant mean sum of squares across various sources of variation. Both adjusted and unadjusted block and treatment effects were significant for all traits, while the check effect was significant for more. During both years, there was moderate to high variation in quantitative parameters for numerous quantitative traits among carrot accessions. Mature leaf length showed the highest variation, followed by mature leaf width, leaf area, root weight, leaf weight, and plant biomass. Principal component analysis revealed distinct patterns in the contributions of parameters during both years. Plotting carrot accessions on the scatter plot using the first three principal components also revealed an informative spread of accessions. A notable increase in variation during the second year was observed. Moreover, accessions from different continents displayed varying degrees of genetic diversity, with Asian accessions exhibiting the highest levels. These findings underscore the importance of global germplasm collection in breeding programs aimed at enhancing crop resilience and productivity. Leveraging this genetic diversity through advanced breeding strategies holds promise for developing cultivars capable of adapting to changing environmental conditions and meeting the demands of sustainable agriculture.

Authors: Dewi Melawati , Muslim Ahmad Bukhori
Published: July 2024

Teaching English as Foreign Language to Indonesian students encourages teachers to motivate them in their language study by getting them to engage in successful writing and speaking skills. It can be early learning as relevant as possible to their language use needs. Based on a qualitative design, this study investigated the way an English teacher of eleventh-grade students used an integrated skills approach to teaching writing and speaking in the classroom.  The research was conducted at one of the senior high schools in West Java, Indonesia with a qualitative method to explore deep information about the strategies and challenges encountered by the English teacher when she was teaching. The specific strategy revealed that the teacher organized activities and encouraged the students through Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) including other strategies to overcome the challenges such as providing consultation and providing learning at night as an extra class. This study is expected to chronicle the need for this approach to be incorporated by English teachers in secondary schools to improve English teaching strategy today and future.
Teachers’ Self-efficacy Beliefs for Teaching Critical Thinking Skills and Practices of Its Strategies
Authors: Amale Michael , Gebretsadik Abebe
Published: July 2024

The study aimed at exploring the teachers’ self-efficacy belief for teaching critical thinking skills and practices of strategies in reading classroom. It also pursued if there is any significant relationship between the two variables. A descriptive survey study used sequential explanatory mixed-methods approach to collect data.  The study involved 40 EFL teachers. The survey contained 19 items using five-point Likert scale. Qualitative data were collected via classroom observations. The results of quantitative data showed(m=3.3) that the participants implemented the strategies moderately. The findings of qualitative data revealed that most of critical thinking strategies were practiced rarely while participants were instructing reading lessons. However, the responsive strategy of teachers to their students’ responses was implemented better than others. Statistical analysis also disclosed a positive high significant correlation between the teachers’ self-efficacy belief for teaching CT and its implementation strategies during teaching reading lessons (r=0.99, p<0.05). In conclusion, as there was a positive strong correlation between teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs and actual classroom practice of strategies, teachers with strong self-confidence may have better experience in implementing strategies that improve students’ reading comprehension. This suggests that instructors’ strong beliefs to use critical thinking skills may not necessarily ensure its effective implementation of strategies.
Unmasking Media Narratives through Comparative Corpus Linguistic Analysis: A Study of Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Authors: Obaidullah Md. , Shaikh Hasan
Published: July 2024

In a world inundated with diverse media narratives, the Russia-Ukraine conflict emerges as a focal point of contention, revealing a complex interplay of linguistic strategies and discursive tactics. This study aims to unravel the intricacies of lexical choices, and discursive techniques employed by Sputnik, BBC, and Fox News in their coverage of the Russia-Ukraine conflict through corpus-assisted discourse studies techniques. Three corpora were created comprising 5,347 articles with 5,829,747 tokens, sampled from February 2022 to February 2023. Moreover, Sputnik’s diction strategically employs the phrase “military operation” while eschewing “war”, portraying the conflict as a defensive, legitimate endeavour, thus reinforcing a Russian geopolitical narrative that recasts Ukraine not as a victim but as an active participant with extremist factions. BBC, in contrast, adopts a pro-Western stance, framing Ukraine as a victim and Russia as an aggressor. Fox News calls Russia’s action as an invasion, and highlights the individual roles of political leaders in shaping the conflict. However, to address the limitations of this study, future studies can expand the scope, sources, languages, and genres for analysis. Furthermore, media consumers need to practice media literacy, cross-checking, and critical analysis in the era of overloaded information in order to form well-rounded opinions on complex geopolitical events.
Effects of Vitis vinifera Leaves on the Oxidative Status of New Zealand Rabbit Liver Infected with Eimeria stiedae
Authors: Mares Mohammed M. , Abdel-Gaber Rewaida , Al-Quraishy Saleh
Published: July 2024

Background: Rabbits are the most important protein sources of animals for humans all over the world. Its production has increased significantly in recent years and it has become one of the most important animal sources in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Coccidiosis is one of the most dangerous diseases affecting rabbits and other animals causing global economic losses. Plant extracts have been used as potential alternatives to chemotherapy because they do not have the negative consequences of tissue deposits and drug resistance. Methods: The current study examined the antioxidant activity of Vitis vinifera leaf extract (VVLE) in New Zealand rabbits infected with Eimeria stiedae. The extract was subjected to phytochemical analysis by FT-IR. A total of 35 male New Zealand rabbits were divided into seven groups. Group 1 served as the uninfected, untreated (negative control) group. Group 2 uninfected and treated at 400 mg/kg of extract to test for toxicity. Group 3 represented the infected, non-treated (positive control) group. While, groups 4, 5 and 6 comprised infected treated with at100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg of extracts, respectively. Finally, group 7 consisted of infected rabbits treated with Toltrazuril at a dosage of 5 mg/kg body weight. Result: The analysis of phytochemicals by FT-IR for Vitis vinifera leaf extract revealed the existence of 15 biologically active compounds. VVLE was able to decrease the induced weight loss due to infection. Moreover, the oxidative status due to E. stiedae infection had been changed after treatment with VVLE where the level of glutathione, malondialdehyde and nitric oxide was improved indicating the antioxidant activity of the VVLE. Our findings suggested that VVLE could boost the induced oxidative stress in the liver of infected New Zealand rabbits, but studies are needed to determine the mechanism of VVLE.

Introducción: El cambio de categoría en baloncesto de U12 a U14 supone una gran dificultad de adaptación para muchos jugadores. La modificación de las variables de juego permitirá una mejor evolución de los jugadores, ayudando a reducir las exigencias y demandas técnicas. Objetivo: analizar la influencia de la modificación de las variables de juego sobre las variables de carga interna y externa a través de diferentes situaciones. Metodología: Ocho jugadores fueron analizados durante 4 situaciones de juego en las que se llevó a cabo la modificación de diferentes variables (espacio, número de canastas, número de jugadores y tiempo). Se realizaron en un espacio de 14 x 15 metros. Cada jugador fue equipado con un dispositivo inercial WimuProTM. Resultados y discusión: Los resultados muestran que la modificación de las variables en las diferentes situaciones de juego provoca cambios en las demandas físicas sobre la carga interna y externa. Conclusión: Cabe resaltar la importancia que tiene añadir una canasta más, aumentando la carga interna y externa, debido a que se produce un mayor movimiento en la pista. Mientras que disminuir el tamaño del campo, el tiempo y reducir el número de jugadores provocará que se recorran mayores distancias.
Política linguística eurocêntrica e imperialismo cultural
Authors: Sokolowicz Laura
Published: July 2024

Este artigo põe o foco no Marco Comum de Referência Europeu para as línguas (MCRE), um documento da política linguística europeia que chega ao Brasil no começo do século XXI de forma indireta: em siglas estampadas nas capas dos livros didáticos produzidos na Espanha que por esses anos atendiam de forma bastante hegemônica a aceleração das demandas pela língua, na organização dos níveis dos cursos e nas provas de certificação internacional. O objetivo é analisar a contradição que surge com a circulação do documento no Brasil, interpretando os efeitos políticos, linguísticos e culturais dessa presença produzida em e para outro espaço de enunciação (a União Europeia), onde a relação entre sujeitos, línguas e história é necessariamente outra. Realizamos este trabalho à luz do dispositivo teórico-analítico da Análise do Discurso, entendendo os instrumentos linguísticos na sua forma material: linguística e histórica, discursos onde o político e o ideológico ganham destaque.

Pontuando que se tratam de duas áreas industriais com elementos particulares que evidenciam que cada uma delas vivenciou situações específicas e que se refletiram nas relações, memórias e projetos diferentes, neste artigo buscamos, através de um olhar arqueológico, perceber as diferenças entre as paisagens dessas vilas de forma a melhor compreender sobre como a ideologia capitalista teria sido transformada, negociada, assimilada ou negada, visando a manutenção do modo de vida Fordista nos dois locais.

This paper investigates the role of chirality and its impact on the electronic band structure in armchair and zigzag single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Simulating electronic band gaps for single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with various chiral indices has been done by using the tight-binding model. The increase in chirality results in an increase in the total number of bands in the electronic band structure. A study was conducted on the band gap at Fermi energy (E=0) and it was found that the electronic band structure in armchair and zigzag (SWCNTs) can be either metallic or semiconductor depending on chirality. The diameter of the tube and the band gap value are also provided. The effect of variations in the CNT channel length and oxide thickness on the gate capacitance and drain current of a single CNT have been analyzed. The results suggest that the simulated values are consistent with the theoretical values thus validating the results.

Highlights:1. This study emphasizes the significance of understanding professional football players' various somatotype structures and body fat compositions as an important contribution to the area of sports science.This study lays the groundwork for future research to better understand the intricate interactions between somatotype structures, body composition, and athletic performance.2. Since a one-size-fits-all approach may not be successful, this study advocates for tailored evaluations of training regimens to cater to athletes' unique requirements and skills, which may lead to higher overall performance.
 
Abstract
This study investigated the effects of somatotype structures and body fat composition on professional football athletes' aerobic capacities and running speed. This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The subjects comprised 27 professional football athletes from Bhayangkara Football Club, located in Bekasi, Indonesia. This study measured several variables, i.e., players' age, playing position, somatotype structures assessed using the Somatotype Rating Form and Heath-Carter Somatochart, body fat composition measured using Brozek and Siri formulas, aerobic capacities determined by the maximum rate of oxygen (VO2 max) through the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 2, and running speed over a 30 m distance. The data were presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD), frequency (n), and percentage. The Shapiro-Wilk was used to determine the normality of the data distribution. The statistical analyses were conducted using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by the post-hoc least significant difference (LSD) test, the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by the post-hoc Mann-Whitney test, as well as the independent t-test, the Mann-Whitney test, and Pearson's or Spearman's correlation tests. A value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. The athletes exhibited a predominant somatotype structure of mesomorph-endomorph (88.9%). Notable associations were found between mesomorphy rating and running speed (r=-0.548; p=0.003), body fat composition and aerobic capacity (r=-0.448; p=0.019), as well as age and aerobic capacity (r=-0.515; p=0.006). Notably, differences in aerobic capacity were observed among various age groups (p=0.031). There were also differences in body fat composition (p=0.003) and running speed (p=0.036) between two distinct somatotype structures. These findings underscore the importance of considering individualized training and conditioning programs that account for athletes' unique body compositions and ages.

Adolescents experience a period of rapid growth and development both physically, psychologically and intellectually. Based on the results of the evaluation of the Integrated Gempar activities in Petungsewu Village in 2022, there are 24% of teenagers who get married early. So it is necessary to provide preventative efforts to provide health education in schools. This method is able to increase adolescent knowledge and change adolescent behavior to improve their health status independently. Community service activities were carried out on Wednesday, October 11 202 at 10.00 – 12.00 at MTs Nurul Huda, Petungsewu Village, Dau District, Malang Regency. The target of this activity is 100 teenagers in grades 7 and 8. The method applied is the health education method. Health education is carried out by delivering material and asking questions.

Self-medication behaviors of the society kept increasing as years passed, including for the residents of Desa Pengalangan, Kecamatan Menganti, Kabupaten Gresik. Over-the-counter medicines, the ones that can be obtained without a prescription, have been a prior solution to relieve the symptoms of various diseases. Unfortunately, the consumption of these medicines is not accompanied by proficient knowledge of how to manage medicines properly. Consequently, the health of the community and environment are negatively affected. Therefore, it is considered crucial to educate society as a form of approach made for promoting public health and preventing the irrational usage of medicines. Socialization of the ‘DAGUSIBU' (dapatkan, gunakan, simpan, dan buang) [eng: get, use, store, and dispose] of medicines through a session of interactive mini-lecture and simulation, has been chosen to be the proper modality to deliver such information about managing medicines. About 21 health cadres of Desa Pengalangan are involved in this program, fulfilling the pretests and post-tests as instruments to determine the level of knowledge of the society about medicines. Based on the result of this program, it is noted that an average of 80.9% participants' level of knowledge increases after socialization. Highest increase in the level of knowledge is reported in the topics ‘Golongan obat' [eng: drug's classes] (85,7%) and ‘DAGUSIBU obat' (85,7%), while the topic ‘Penggunaan antibiotik' [eng: antibiotic usage] (71,4%) becomes the topic with the least increase in the level of knowledge. Though these findings seem in line with the previous studies, innovations are required to optimize the increase of society's level of knowledge in managing medicines.
