Properties of the Drugs Used for Virechana Karma-A Review
Authors: R.G.Unnikrishnan
Published: December 2022

Ayurveda, or ancient Indian medicine, is based on ancient writings and takes a comprehensive approach to both mental and physical well-being. Ayurvedic medicineis one of the world's oldest medical systems and is still used in traditional health care in India. Ayurvedaadvocates the use of Shodhanaand Shamana to treat various illnesses. Virechana karma(purgation) is included under Panchakarmas or five purificatory methods. Virechana karmais the process of removing doshasfrom the body through the Adhobhaga (lower orifice). It helps with health promotion in addition to helping to eliminate doshas (humours). Virechanaand other purification techniques are necessary before initiating Rasayana therapy (rejuvenation). The effect of Virechanamay be so strong, according to Kashyapasamhita, that it may improve the quality of Beejaor sperm and ovum. The classics identify several medications with the ability to cause Virechana.Ushna, Teekshna, Sukshma, Vyavayi, and Vikashi Gunasare qualities of medications that produce Virechana Karmaand are entirely or partially present in Virechana Dravyas. Though all Virechana medications are Panchabhautik, Pritviand Aap Mahabhutaare dominating in their composition. All the drugs which possess Pritvi and Aap Mahabhutacannot produce Virechanabut the inherent property to move downwards are especially due to Adhobhagahara Prabhavaof the drug.

Communication skills training is essential in nurse education. Miscommunication may lead to adverse events and unsafe healthcare. To date, valid and reliable instruments to serve both communication training and assessment purposes across different cultural contexts are scarce. The present study empirically tested a French-language version of the Health Communication Assessment Tool© (HCAT-f) across different levels of communication skills performance to establish its reliability and validity through a cognitive fluency framework. Ten experts in communication and 52 nurse educators rated three videos simulating conversations between a nurse and a patient scheduled for lumpectomy. Each video captured a different level of communication skills performed by the nurse: High, medium, and low. Three distinct constructs were identified, i.e., professional presentation, empathy, and trust building. At absolute single-measure, an ICC = .43 suggested adequate interrater reliability of the whole scale for the medium-performed scenario, which decreased in low-performed (ICC = .35) and high-performed (ICC = .18) scenarios. The HCAT-f fulfils the criteria of linguistic equivalence, contextual relevance, and demonstrates acceptable construct validity. It can be used as a summative assessment tool after prior training on scale calibration is in place because interrater agreement was difficult to be established in high and low performance scenarios.
Um olhar do feminino sobre a natureza
Authors: Pagan Alice
Published: December 2022

Este artigo resulta de uma palestra proferida durante o isolamento físico na pandemia de COVID-19. Busquei refletir sobre os papeis da ciência e do ensino de ciências nesse contexto pandêmico a partir de um olhar do feminino-transfeminista. O argumento foi organizado em três questões: O que é o feminino que eu mobilizo na condição de professora de biologia e mulher transgênera? Como a ciência, com um olhar desse feminino, vem se construindo? e Como essa ciência transfeminista pode ser aplicadapara pensarmos o contexto pandêmico? Dentre as considerações levantadas destaco outra questão: emnossa relação com a família, com o Estado, com a natureza que se coloca neste momento de uma maneira bem catalisadora de nosso amadurecimento humano, precisamos estar conscientes de que teremos um mundo muito diferente daquele que tínhamos quando começarmos a vislumbrar os primeiros dados dessa pandemia. Será que esse novo mundo terá novos humanos?

Published: December 2022

Son yıllarda inşaat ve yıkıntı atıklarının dönüştürülerek tekrar kullanılması, çevresel kaygılar ve ekonomik sebeplerden dolayı artarak önem kazanmıştır. Bu çalışmada farklı inşaat ve yıkıntı atıklarından dolgu inşa edebilmek için sıkıştırılmasında kompaksiyon yönteminin etkisi araştırılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda önce beş farklı yıkıntı atığı dönüştürülerek granüler dolgu malzemesi haline getirilmiş ve su emme gibi fiziksel özellikleri belirlenmiştir. Daha sonra bu atık agregalar üzerinde ayrı ayrı düşen tokmak ve titreşimli tokmak kullanarak kompaksiyon deneyleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ayrıca kompaksiyon deneyleri öncesi ve sonrası elek analizleri ile danelerin kompaksiyon yöntemine göre parçalanma durumları araştırılmıştır. Bu deneyler atık agregaları kıyaslama amacı ile bir çeşit doğal agrega üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Çalışma sonucunda atık agregaların su emmelerinin limit değerlerden yüksek olduğu ve tuğla bazlı atık agregaların su emme değerlerini daha da yükselttiği görülmüştür. Ayrıca atık agregaların titreşimli tokmaklarla sıkıştırılmasının danelerin parçalanmasını azaltacağından faydalı olacağı öne sürülmektedir.

Critical Analysis of the Works by Fredrik Barth, Akbar S. Ahmed, and Charles Lindholm on Swat Pashtuns
Authors: Cheema Zumra Nawaz
Published: December 2022

This paper focused on analysing the three very famous ethnographic works on Pukhtun Society of Swat. First, the work of Fredrik Barth “Political Leadership among Swath Pathans, was analysed then analysis of counter work to Barth’s done by Akbar S. Ahmed, “Millennium and Charisma among Pathans”, then there was critical review of the work by Charles Lindholm “Frontier Perspectives: Essays on Comaritive Anthropology”. Works of Louis Dupree, Talal Asad and Micheal Meeker, have also consulted to critically analyse the works of the mentioned authors. This paper is an effort to examine the fact that the works of Fredrik Barth, Akber S. Ahmed, and Charles Lindholm present partially true picture about the socio-economic settings of Swat Pashtuns but not a fully appropriate, impartial and correct image of that society. If one would fully depend on these works to understand the economic and political circumstances of Swat society, then it would be probably insufficient and misleading owing to a significant difference in the writings of all these writers though written from the same society. It means that all of them were writing from the different positions, from separate cultural, educational and professional backgrounds. Their backgrounds have great influence on their writing, which made their work subjective and biased. Thus, it assumes that though an anthropologist tries to remain impartial and objective while writing about any culture,   he cannot be, because of his cultural restriction. So, there is an effort to give an answer to the research question by applying the idea of post-modernist approach of James Clifford “writing culture”, also getting support by the Michel Foucault ideas of “Knowledge/Power” in discourse analysis. Thus, it is supposed here that work of each above mentioned authors is a partial truth, because in an ethnographic work author plays a central role and he writes ethnography as an auto-biography (based on his/her cultural limitation).

Published: December 2022

O hidromel é uma das bebidas alcoólicas mais antigas a ser consumida pelo homem, sendo muitas vezes atrelada à mitologia – quando seu alcunho era elixir divino – é a precursora da cerveja atual. Mesmo com esse histórico, a bebida oriunda da fermentação do mel, ainda se mostra um desafio para a produção em escala, sendo mais encontrada em sua versão artesanal. O presente trabalho possuiu o objetivo de analisar e comparar a produção do Hidromel a partir de duas espécies de leveduras, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae e a Saccharomyces bayanus, além de analisar parâmetros que definem as características da bebida. O experimento foi executado em triplicata, para ambas as espécies, e se iniciou com a diluição do mel em água para garantir os 20,4 ºBrix iniciais. Posteriormente, as leveduras foram inseridas a seco e deu-se início a fermentação, que necessitou de suplementação e aeração para progredir. Ao fim de 28 dias, encerrou-se o processo fermentativo e as análises começaram a ser executadas. Durante o período de fermentação e ao final dele, pH e ºBrix foram monitorados, enquanto o teor de ácidos totais e a graduação alcoólica só foram medidos no produto final. Verificou-se que a Saccharomyces cerevisiae produziu uma cerveja com 0,27% a mais de álcool. Ambas apresentaram desempenho satisfatório e dados de análise esperados.

Authors: Leodoro Marcos Pires , Souza Carolina Rodrigues de
Published: December 2022

Nos dias atuais, é possível nos referirmos a uma desherança (no original espanhol, desherencia) das Ciências, sendo necessário reconhecer que o saber é transmitido como herança de uma geração para àquela que a sucede. O presente trabalho, baseado em abordagens: filosófica, sociológica e cultural da infância, e em argumentos dos movimentos feministas sobre as Ciências, por meio de estilo ensaístico de escrita, se propõe a refletir acerca das contribuições que as infâncias e as feminidades podem dar ao processo de renovação do conhecimento científico e da Educação em Ciências, num momento de crise produzida pela pandemia da COVID-19. Nossa perspectiva é a de que as infâncias e as feminidades inspiram um “devir-ciência”, uma oportunidade de reexistir no mundo pós-pandemia COVID-19, a partir de saberes científicos mais integrativos e de vivências mais intensivas que não sejam militarizadas, excessivamente formais e academicamente esotéricas.
The role of antioxidants in improving the quality of bovine embryos produced in vitro
Authors: Damayanti Erni , SONJAYA Herry , BACO Sudirman , HASBI Hasbi
Published: December 2022

Antioxidants are molecular compounds that can give their electron structure to free radical molecules without disturbing them and can break the chain of free radical compounds. Antioxidants that can be used include enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants. Supplementation of antioxidants into maturation mediums or cultures with the right concentration can efficiently improves oocyte maturation, cell division, and embryo quality in bovine. Enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant supplementation of the maturation medium increase the number of oocytes that reach metaphase II (MII). Furthermore, the supplementation of both antioxidants in maturation and culture mediums are also able to increase cell division and embryo that reaches blastocyst. Non-enzymatic antioxidant supplementation is more effective than enzymatic antioxidants in improving the maturation and division of cells in the production of bovine embryos in vitro. In conclusion, non-enzymatic antioxidant supplementation is more effective in supporting embryonic development in vitro.

Authors: Woretaw Tilahun , Beyero Netsanet
Published: December 2022

Pentas schimperiana is locally available and dominantly used as a dairy cattle feed in the Dawuro zone's Maraka district, Ethiopia. There is some information about its utilization practice, however, data on its nutritional benefit is limited. This research aimed to examine the chemical content and digestibility of P. schimperiana for use as cattle feed during the dry season. For this study, a 2x2 factorial design with two agro-ecologies (midland and highland) and two seasons (wet and dry) was used for this study. P. schimperiana leaves, twigs and stems were gathered and processed for laboratory analysis from two agro-ecologies and two seasons. The chemical composition, in-vitro digestibility, and in-Sacco degradability of the samples were determined after incubation at 0, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours. Effective degradability (ED) and Potential degradation (PD) were computed. The collected data were subjected to an Analysis of Variance and the means that had significant deference, the mean separation was performed by Tukey with alpha level of 0.05. In-vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) (87.41%) and crude protein (CP) (17.39%) were significantly higher in highland. Digestible crude protein (DCP) was significantly larger in dry than in the wet season with the content of neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), and acid detergent lignin (ADL) decreased. During the wet season, potential degradability (PD) and effective degradability (ED) of DM were highest in the highland with a decrease in leg time, which was related to the low content of ADF, ADL, NDF, tannin, and high CP in vegetative stages of P. schimperiana. The result indicates that P. schimperiana might be used as supplementary feeds to enhance utilization of low-quality feed resources and improve the performance of ruminants during the dry season when feed is scarce.

Published: December 2022

Information Technology and Information Systems are important in supporting operations in a company. The organization's ability to manage IT affects the quality of its information technology services, especially in the use of the IT Helpdesk. The IT Helpdesk acts as a good service provider for request fulfillment and problem management in the company and aims for the IT support team to monitor the status of work on problems faced by users and can analyze lead times from the emergence of these problems to their completion. The IT Helpdesk in a company engaged in the garment and textile industry has not been used optimally, for example, e-ticketing has not reached the target time specified in the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) at the company due to a lack of enthusiasm and lack of motivation by the IT team towards the use of IT Helpdesk. Therefore, the researchers designed a prototype of the application of gamification with the Mechanics-Dynamics-Aesthetics (MDA) framework at the IT Helpdesk as a strategy used to increase the motivation and enthusiasm of the IT team that is useful for improving the performance of each IT team.

User Satisfaction Assessment of Final Project Supervisor Monitoring Information System Using User Experience Design Method
Authors: Asrin Fauzan , Sholva Yus
Published: December 2022

Completing the final project takes a guiding process n the final project where the concept of final project guidance itself is an effort to help students to provide direction, assistance, suggestions, and criticisms that arise from the preparation of the final project by the supervisor. However, sometimes the guidance process is not optimal. Lecturers or students themselves can cause this. The difficulty for lecturers to help students during tutoring is the limited communication time that is too narrow on campus and the difference in busy schedules between students and supervisors. Managing the time for the final independent project is also an obstacle that causes the completion of the final project to be delayed. Some students tend to be less active in carrying out guidance if the supervisor does not provide a fixed guidance schedule or does not provide a target time for students to complete the revision of the final project from the supervisor. So, it is necessary to build an information system for monitoring the final project supervisor to monitor the existence of supervisor. This study uses the User Experience Design Process to increase user satisfaction in interacting with the product. And at the final stage, a Usability Testing evaluation is carried out to test the product's usefulness. The results of this study are in the form of an assessment of how satisfied and comfortable a user is with a product, system, and service using an interface

Authors: Ampuan Azimah Disoma , Delena Reymark Devila
Published: December 2022

The Office of the University President of the Mindanao State University in Marawi City has the reputation of being one of the busiest in the university. It handles a variety of concerns, ranging from employee matters to matters of concern coming from the other campuses in the university system. However, matters became greatly complicated when the pandemic began and the hard lockdowns that followed forced everyone to stay at home or work remotely. It was observed that an existing perennial problem at the Office of the President was a lack of an efficient system to handle appointments, which resulted in wasted time and tasks delayed or undone. Hence, the aim of the project was to improve client waiting time by implementing a web-based appointment system. The researcher used two (2) models: the System Usability Scale and Technology Acceptance Model to evaluate the system. As a result, the system has a high level of satisfaction with a percentage of 90.2 from the user based on the overall result from two (2) models used. Therefore, implementing a web-based appointment system will certainly improve client waiting time at the Office of the President and employees at the office can schedule appointments more conveniently.
Academic Data Warehouse Modeling in Higher Education Using Nine-Step Design Methodology
Authors: Sihombing Denny Jean Cross
Published: December 2022

Data and information are essential in various fields today, as well as in the field of education, especially in universities. Some universities already have information systems that support data and information needs. However, the system has not been integrated, so it cannot provide data and information needs quickly and in an integrated manner. Information systems in universities are still primarily departmental because each was built at a different time and uses another platform. The departmental nature of this information system causes inaccuracies and inconsistencies of data that drive the information produced in reports and data reused in transactions to be invalid. Invalid data, in the end, also impacts decision-making taken by management. This study aims to develop a data warehouse at a university to integrate academic data using a star schema. The method used is the Nine Step Methodology. The result of this research is data warehouse architecture used in the academic field; fact tables and ERDs have been designed at the current stage of designing a Prototype of the Study Program Performance Sheet (LKPS).
THE UPGRADING OF TEACHER TRAINING INSTITUTIONS IN GHANA TO COLLEGES OF EDUCATION: IMPLICATIONS ON TUTOR JOB SATISFACTION AND COMMITMENT
Authors: Benedicta Enid Mawuse Danku  , Dr Mark Mishiwo
Published: December 2022

The study sought to explore tutors’ job satisfaction and commitment in the face of the continuous attrition of tutors in Colleges of Education to the Public Universities while Colleges of Education have been upgraded to tertiary level. Eighty-five tutors purposively selected from two Colleges of Education in Ghana constituted the sample for the study. A descriptive survey design was used to provide description of issues related to Job Satisfaction and Commitment among tutors working in Colleges of Education in Ghana. A questionnaire was used to collect data for the study. The results of the study revealed that a majority, of tutors were satisfied with the procedures for promotion since it did not hinder progression. A majority of tutors were satisfied with administrative rules and procedures since they were used as guide to solutions. A majority of tutors were also satisfied with their principal’s actions since they attended to their needs. However, a majority of tutors were not satisfied with vehicle maintenance, overtime, fuel and committee sitting allowances. A majority of tutors were also dissatisfied with their salary compared to the inputs (skills, knowledge, ability and work load). Moreover, gauging the affective, continuance and normative commitment levels among tutors in the selected Colleges of Education for the study, affective commitment recorded the highest mean suggesting that tutors were emotionally attached to their colleges as well as identified themselves with their colleges. However, tutors recorded low mean in continuance commitment, indicating that they had no feelings of obligation to remain with the Colleges of Education. Consequently, it was recommended that the Government of Ghana through the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance should ensure that compensations for tutors of Colleges of Education are as good as that of other public Universities and stakeholders of Colleges of Education should not focus only on monetary compensations in ensuring job satisfaction and commitment of tutors.

Authors: Osama Yousif Ibrahim Abualzain
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study is to look into the effect of misplacement stress on changing syntactic categories of words used by Albaha University students at the Faculty of Science and Arts – Almandaq at the tertiary level. The aim of this research is to demonstrate the effects of misplaced stress on the syntactic categories of words (verbs and nouns). To get and process the gathered data, a descriptive qualitative method is used. The study's population is third-year English department students' for the academic year 2021–2022. In the first semester, the students take a phonology course, which is beneficial to our study. The study's sample included 20 male students. The researcher designed an oral recorded test and a written test to collect the data. To measure the acoustic properties of English words for the oral recorded test, the data was analyzed using "Praat soft wave." For the written test, the SPSS program was used. The findings revealed a clear deficiency in the students' ability to manage stress effectively. This failure attributed to a lack of knowledge about stress placement and its effect on syntactic category. Furthermore, students do not get enough practice and feedback on stress placement while speaking and reading activities.

Published: December 2022

Procrastination and anxiety are phenomena that are associated with the lives of many people, especially students. It is quite logical to assume that students, who procrastinate, have a higher degree of anxiety. The aim of this study was to examine whether procrastination and anxiety were related variables, as well as to determine whether there were differences in the intensity of these two variables between students of private and state universities, to examine whether there were differences between male and female students, and whether the success of the study and procrastination and anxiety were related. The instruments used were Scale of procrastination and Anxiety scale, and the sample was made out of 185 students. Results showed that procrastination and anxiety were negatively correlated variables, then that there were differences between students of private and state universities in procrastination, in the sense that students of private universities procrastinated more. Also, male students procrastinated more than female students, and at the end, procrastination was negatively correlated with grade point average (GPA) as a criterion of academic success.

Authors: Peñafiel-Pallares Wilson S. , Brito-Balanzátegui Camila
Published: December 2022

Background: Thrombophilia due to protein C deficiency is an unusual condition, present in 0.2% of general population. Cerebral venous thrombosis has an incidence of 3-4 cases per million in adults. A combination of both is very uncommon. Patients with these conditions are prone to acquiring life-threatening superinfections. Case: A 51-year-old woman presented to the Emergency Department with bilateral pressing frontal headache accompanied with nausea and vomiting. Laboratory findings, medical history and physical examination were unremarkable. Computed tomography demonstrated sphenoidal rhinosinusitis. Migraine diagnosis was established and treated with analgesics. No treatment for sphenoidal rhinosinusitis was prescribed. Over the next 2 weeks, headaches worsened, and the patient returned to the Emergency Department showing left periorbital edema, fever, diplopia, and disorientation. Laboratory exams showed low protein C levels, elevated procalcitonin and neutrophilia. Magnetic Resonance Venography revealed cavernous sinus thrombosis. The patient was treated with empiric antibiotic treatment (vancomycin, ceftriaxone, and metronidazole) and long-term direct oral anticoagulants (Dabigatran). After one year of the diagnosis, the patient fully recovered and showed no recurrence of thrombotic events.  Conclusion: This case report emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate management of patients with protein C deficiency complicated by septic cavernous sinus thrombosis.

Published: December 2022

Background:

Following the diagnosis of the first confirmed monkeypox case in Jordan in August 2022, the necessity for assessing the perceived knowledge among healthcare personnel has gained more significance. Given that the knowledge of healthcare professionals plays a great role in protection against newly emerging epidemics, we therefore in this study aim to assess the awareness of medical students and practicing physicians in Jordan toward the monkeypox virus.

Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Jordan to assess medical students' attitudes, general practitioners, residents, and specialists regarding the monkeypox virus. Data from the WHO, CDC, and literature were used to design this questionnaire. The questionnaire comprises 53 questions divided into three sections: socio-demographic variables and work-related characteristics, general and specific knowledge about the monkeypox virus. Snowball sampling was employed since it was convenient. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistical significance.

Results: Four hundred twenty-three healthcare professionals participated in this study. Only 7.3% (n = 31) of respondents have ever received information about monkeypox during studies in medicine. Respectively, the mean and median knowledge scores were 12.77 and 13, ranging from 4 to 25. More than half (51.3%, n = 3012) have heard about monkeypox before. About 45.9% (n = 194) of respondents reported that they had heard about monkeypox a few days ago for the first time, while 48.7% (n = 206) heard it a month ago. Most participants had a low level of good knowledge of monkeypox. Only 2.1% of respondents had correctly identified the natural host and the incubation period of monkeypox. More than half (52.1%) correctly answered the sign and symptoms of monkeypox. Almost 49.2% of respondents believed that monkeypox and smallpox have similar signs and symptoms. Respondents aged more than 30 years had higher level of knowledge (COR = 19.45, 95% CI = 6.7683-55.8933, p< 0.001). Respondents who are specialist doctors had higher knowledge of monkeypox (COR = 7.3125, 95% CI = 1.6793-31.8429, p = 0.008) than others.

Conclusion: Monkeypox awareness among Jordanian medical students and practitioners is low; hence immediate action should be taken to address this catastrophic problem. Consequently,

learning about monkeypox and spreading information about its prevention is crucial. Furthermore, increasing Doctors' ability to react to human monkeypox cases and report them to a

disease surveillance system will depend on their education about the sickness.

Introduction: Blood loss is an inevitable complication and a major contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality at cesarean deliveries. Several trials have investigated the of using Misoprostol to prevent hemorrhage-related complications in women undergoing cesarean section.

Objective: We aimed to detect a potential preference regarding the efficacy and safety of rectal Misoprostol over Oxytocin as a uterotonic agent.

Methods: We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, and other databases for the relevant trials from inception to September 2022. We included randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that compared rectal Misoprostol versus Oxytocin to control bleeding in women undergoing cesarean delivery. Our primary outcomes were the intra- and postoperative blood loss, and hemoglobin drop after delivery. Secondary outcomes included need for blood transfusion, need for additional uterotonics, difference in operative time, as well as safety outcomes such as the incidence of shivering, pyrexia, nausea, and vomiting.

Results: Our search strategy revealed 1007 unique records, of them we retrieved full texts of 19 articles to check their adherence to our eligibility criteria. Nine RCTs with 1490 participants were included. We found a significant reduction in postoperative blood loss (MD: -27.9 mL; 95% CI: -53.8, -2.1, p = 0.03), and Hb drop after delivery (MD: 0.11 mg/dl, 95% CI: 0.04, 0.19, p = 0.003). There is no significant difference regarding intraoperative blood loss, operative time, need for blood transfusion, or need for additional uterotonics. We could not find a significant difference between the 2 groups regarding safety outcomes except for a higher shivering incidence in Misoprostol group (RR: 2.99; 95% CI: 1.69, 5.29, p = 0.002).

Conclusion: We found a significant reduction in postoperative blood loss with a potential favorable safety profile in women who administrated rectal Misoprostol compared to Oxytocin administration. Our findings recommend and prefer rectal Misoprostol as a cheaper and effective uterotonic agent over Oxytocin which is expensive and require adequate cold chain for transportation and storage.

O presente livro conta com 15 desenhos, entre criações e cópias, feitos durante dois meses de trabalho dentro do projeto “Oficina de Mangá: teoria e prática”, ministrado pelo professor de Arte Isac. As técnicas utilizadas foram de sombreamento com lápis 6B e lápis de cor. Nota-se que, já adiantando a você, apreciador e leitor imagético, alguns trabalhos estão mais dentro da poética japonesa em si encontrada nos Mangás, com suas narrativas e características delineadas, bem como pelas divisões da folha, e outros, mais incisivos, e ainda que baseados no fazer japonês, com sua fabricação própria, adensada pelo seu entorno.
An investigation of user’s continuance intention towards Mobile Social Network Sites (SNSs)
Authors: Rafiq Muhammad Yasir , Azad Mueen-ud-Din , Farooq Muhammad
Published: December 2022

In recent years, the popularity of Smartphone social networking sites has exploded, however, in prior studies the link between users' values, satisfaction, and continued desire to use SNSs was viewed as having little attention. The objective of this research is to establish a model that explores users' value and satisfaction as key antecedents of continuance intention towards the usage of mobile SNSs. Data was collected through a paper-based survey from a university and 532 valid responses from students were used for analysis. To validate our proposed model, and test the hypothesis, the Partial least square technique has been applied through smart pls. The empirical results revealed that both Hedonic value and Utilitarian value were significant antecedents of intention to continuance. Moreover, satisfaction was also found important determinant of intention to continue. The findings of this study will be helpful for marketers, web designers, and researchers to understand the importance of users' value and satisfaction in the context of mobile SNSs. Research implications are presented and directions for future studies are also suggested at the end of the study.

A contribuição de Amélia Americano Domingues de Castro (1920-2020) à Didática da Geografia
Authors: Mello Márcia Cristina de Oliveira
Published: December 2022

O curso de formação docente da FFCL da USP desempenhou papel importante para a constituição da história da Didática da Geografia em nosso país. Do seleto grupo de professores que formou, entre as décadas de 1930 e 1960, surgiu uma geração de brilhantes geógrafos docentes, dentre eles destacamos a professora Amélia Americano Domingues de Castro (1920-2020). Ela se formou no ano de 1940 e foi contratada em 1942 como professora de Didática, se tornando pioneira na área. Se destacou por introduzir as ideias de Jean Piaget, apresentando algumas respostas para questionamentos sobre orientação metodológica referente ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Sua produção intelectutual certamente evidencia a matriz caracterizada pela orientação escolanovista da época, que teve inúmeras variáveis, cujas versões podemos ainda investigar. Neste sentido, apresentamos no “XIV Encontro Nacional de Pós-graduação e pesquisa em Geografia” uma justa homenagem à professora Amélia, por meio da divulgação de seu legado que influenciou o campo pedagógico e as discussões em torno do ensino de Geografia.

Singkong merupakan tanaman ini bisa ditemukan di seluruh Indonesia. Namun di zaman serba canggih seperti sekarang makanan ubi ini bisa dibilang tidak semua orang yang suka mengkonsumsinya. Masyarakat sekarang paling lebih suka memakan cemilan makanan buatan luar negeri seperti pizza, burger dan makanan junkfood lainnya. Padahal ubi atau singkong ini punya banyak manfaat kandungan yang bagus untuk tubuh, bahkan sekarang sudah banyak orang yang sudah mengolahnya menjadi makanan yang bisa di inovasikan dalam bentuk lain, seperti keripik ubi. Namun keripik ubi yang di temukan sekarang banyak para penjual yang menggunakan bahan MSG atau monosodium glutamat sebagai bahan campuran bumbu agar lebih enak rasanya, seperti yang diketahui makanan yang mengandung MSG tidak boleh terlalu sering dikonsumsi karena berbahaya bagi kesehatan tubuh. Kegiatan pengabdian ini diharapkan bisa membuat olahan ubi / singkong menjadi keripik singkong aneka rasa dengan bumbu rempah yang alami dan kandungan rasa yang tidak mengandung MSG serta penambahan cita rasa keju yang mengandung kalsium yang bagus buat tubuh, serta meningkatkan kemandirian masyarakat secara ekonomi sebagai mata pencaharian atau membuka peluang kerja sebagai usaha pembuatan keripik singkong.

Authors: Dewi Santi Riana , Masitoh Martina Rahmawati
Published: December 2022

Pada saat ini budaya literasi masih perlu ditingkatkan, hal ini dapat dilihat dari masih kurangnya minat baca dan numerasi di kalangan anak-anak usia dini. Masih adanya pendapat yang mengatakan bahwa pengenalan literasi dimulai saat anak duduk di sekolah dasar. Banyak hal yang menyebabkan budaya literasi belum terbentuk, salah satunya adalah masih kurangnya buku-buku bacaan yang menunjang, kurangnya sarana dan prasarana yang mendukung untuk berliterasi, belum adanya dukungan yang maksimal dari instansi terkait dan juga kurangnya minat dari masyarakat pada umumnya. Oleh karenanya diperlukan gerakan untuk membantu terpenuhinya akan kebutuhan bacaan yang merupakan hal pokok dan penunjang lainnya untuk menciptakan budaya literasi sejak anak usia dini. Kegiatan pengabdian dilakukan pada PAUD di kota Serang. Upaya yang dilakukan adalah dengan memberikan donasi buku-buku bacaan yang meliputi buku dongeng, buku agama, buku sejarah, buku pengenalan alat tranportasi, buku pengenalan numerasi, buku mewarnai, buku menulis, peralatan baca tulis dan perlengkapan untuk terwujudnya perpustakaan mini bagi anak PAUD. Dengan pengenalan lterasi yang dilakukan dengan metode pendekatan bermain, menggambar, mewarnai dan bergembira dalam membacakan buku-buku. Dengan cara tersebut diharapkan sejak dini anak akan memiliki kegemaran berliterasi, memotivasi munculnya rasa keingintahuan untuk menambah pengetahuan, yang akhirnya akan mampu membangun budaya literasi sejak dini.

Authors: Sperschneider Jana
Published: December 2022

Machine learning (ML) encompasses statistical methods that learn to identify patterns in complex datasets. Here, Jana reviews application areas in plant–pathogen interactions that have recently benefited from ML. She provides an under-the-hood glance into her developed suite of ML-based tools for pathogen effector prediction such as EffectorP. Jana will discuss common pitfalls and challenges she encountered during the development of ML approaches. Finally, she will highlight future opportunities for ML as a tool for dissecting plant–pathogen interactions, for example through integration of AlphaFold predictions or ML-driven effector gene annotation.
