Authors: Atta Aqsa , Naqvi Swaleha Bano
Published: July 2022

Background and Purpose: There has been a strong assumption on part of ESL practitioners to use target language for teaching of ESL. However, in recent years, translanguaging has gained significant importance in teaching of ESL. This systematic review concentrates on empirical studies that draw on translanguaging framework in ESL classrooms in diverse contexts. By using the guidelines provided by PRISMA, the current work sheds light on the recent plethora of literature available across the globe. This systematic review identifies the differences with reference to the settings, participants’ background, methodology, and research problem. Moreover, it also evaluates how translanguaging has helped to improve ESL in diverse contexts. Also, it also suggests possible avenues for future research.
 
Methodology: Data was collected from 2015 to November 2021. The studies that used translanguaging for improving ESL skills are focused and analyzed.
 
Findings: The findings of the study showed that predominantly the research was conducted at the school level in the contexts of Africa, Japan and Indonesia using the qualitative approach. The findings also showed that translanguaging is helpful to improve ESL performance generally, but specifically it improves reading comprehension, vocabulary and writing skills. Moreover, the findings also indicated the positive attitude of teachers and students towards translanguaging pedagogy.
 
Contributions: The study synthesizes the knowledge to inform practitioners, researchers, teachers’ trainers, and policy makers about the recent advances in the field of teaching ESL, while using the learners’ complete linguistic repertoire.
Keywords: Translanguaging pedagogy, English language learning, systematic review, survey, recent advances.

Authors: Ismail Mohd Fadzli , Nik Yusoff Nik Mohd Rahimi
Published: July 2022

Background and Purpose: Efforts to improve the teaching of the Arabic language as a subject have the potential to strengthen the Integrated Dini Curriculum (KBD) in Malaysia. Thus, it is appropriate and necessary to examine the relevance of textbook technical presentation in terms of text readability. Therefore, this study aims to identify the relationship between the technical presentation of the Arabic textbook (al-Lughah al-‘Arabiyyah al-Mu’asirah) in the Form Four Integrated Dini Curriculum in Government-Aided Religious Schools (SABK) and the readability of textbooks.
 
Methodology: This study was designed as survey research. 694 respondents Form Four SABK were recruited in this study, selected using a proportionate stratified random sampling method. The questionnaire items were administrated to the respondents after they were tested for validity and reliability. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. This included frequency, percentages, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson correlation tests.
 
Findings: Results showed that the technical presentation of KBD Form Four Arabic textbooks is of a high level. However, the readability of the textbook overall was unsatisfactory. It was also shown that there was a weak significant positive relationship between the textbook technical presentation and the readability of Arabic textbooks for SABK students.
 
Contributions: The findings of this study have implications on textbook writers to improve textbook readability, especially for language learners. The findings also may contribute to the Ministry of education, course designers, as well school administrators to be vigilant before making any decisions on textbooks used for educational purposes.
 
Keywords: al-Lughah al-‘Arabiyyah al-Mu’asirah, government-aided religious school students, Integrated Dini Curriculum, readability, textbook technical presentation.

CONTRIBUTIONS OF ISLAMIC FINANCE IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF TURKEY: A REVIEW
Authors: Alam Md. Kausar , Ullah Md. Hafij
Published: July 2022

World Bank data (2009-2019) provides that Turkey has been facing economic development challenges in terms of GDP growth rate, GDP per capita, inflation rate, unemployment rate, and youth unemployment rate during the last decade. Though 2020 data is not yet available, 2019 data depicted a very challenging year for Turkey. This paper aims to review the challenges in the economic development of Turkey and provide the solutions by applying the notions of participatory finance (Islamic finance) for the development of the economic growth, per capita income, inflation rate, unemployment rate, and the youth unemployment rate of Turkey. This study applied a critical literature review analysis to explore the challenges. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development reported that Turkey observed a worsening asset quality of the banking sector, deleveraging by lenders, unstable market, reduced investor confidence, and shallow public and private investment in 2019. Similarly, the conventional finance literature illustrated prudent strategic financial decisions support in improving these issues. However, the Islamic finance literature demonstrated that interest-free financial mechanisms are comparatively more resilient and supported a sustainable economic development. Though the contributions of the participation (Islamic) finance are poor due to its size, this mechanism of finance has enormous prospect of contributions to the Turkey’s economy as demonstrated in other countries. The current Turkish government supports participation (Islamic) banking and expects to reach 15% assets by 2025.

THE INFLUENCE OF VIRTUAL LITERATURE CIRCLES ON STUDENTS’ LITERARY COMPETENCE
Authors: Ramli Nasharil Nazrin
Published: July 2022

Background and Purpose: Despite being previously exposed to literature for many years during secondary school, Malaysian International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma students tussle to cope with the English syllabus outlined by the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO). This is mainly due to the different instructional objectives of learning literature in Malaysia as compared to the IB Diploma’s. In short, students are not trained within the remit of the two key literary competence skills, which are literary reading comprehension and analysis as they progress to a more challenging post-secondary syllabus as such the IB Diploma Programme. Hence, this study investigates how virtual literature circles provide optimal learning opportunities to promote IB Diploma students’ literary competence in reading literature. The research questions focused on the ways that virtual literature circles are able to support students’ literary competence, as well as their experiences upon participating in the discussions.
 
Methodology: A mixed-method research design was employed in carrying out the aims of the study. Quantitative data were collected through a quasi-experimental method focusing on two groups of IB Diploma students in the experimental and control groups. One-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to determine whether there are any significant differences between the independent groups on the dependent variable, which is literary competence, whilst controlling for the effects of their initial abilities which co-vary with the dependent variable. The qualitative data were collected using semi-structured interviews, and the data analysis was conducted using principles of thematic analysis.
 
Findings: This study found that virtual literature circles enhanced IB Diploma students’ literary competence by encouraging them to become critical readers of literature. It also provides students with the avenue to develop their literary reading comprehension and analysis skills in order to understand, analyse, and interpret literature critically.
 
Contributions: This research aids in the design and implementation of virtual literature circles as a socially mediated reading approach to assisting ESL students with their literary competence.
 
Keywords: Virtual literature circles, literary competence, literary reading comprehension skill, literary analysis skill, IB Diploma.

Authors: Hutagalung Fonny Dameaty , Fong Peng Chew , Adams Donnie , Fitriana Nina
Published: July 2022

Background and Purpose: A child’s cognitive, physical, and socioeconomic development must be stimulated as early as possible to ensure it is on the right path. However, only a few studies have been conducted to investigate the difference in cognitive abilities between public and private pre-schoolers in Malaysia.
 
Methodology: A total of 121 students aged five to six were selected from public and private pre-schools in Kuala Lumpur using a purposive sampling method. The children's general cognitive abilities were assessed using the McCarthy Scales of Children’s Abilities (MSCA).
 
Findings: The findings showed that the general cognitive abilities of public and private pre-school children are at a moderate level. The results also indicated no statistically significant effect of the type of pre-school, parents’ level of education, and parents’ income level on children’s cognitive ability.
 
Contributions: This research provides insights into the children’s cognitive ability in some selected public and private preschools in Malaysia. The outcome is essential in determining the general cognitive abilities of the children. Possible future works are suggested to explore the topic from different perspectives in order to improve children’s cognitive ability.
 
Keywords: Cognitive abilities, pre-school children, type of pre-school, parents’ education, parents’ income.

SOLVING ESP PROBLEMS: STUDENTS AND TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONS OF INTEGRATING INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY INTO ESP INSTRUCTION
Authors: Keshtiarast Bahareh , Salehi Hadi , Tabatabaei Omid , Baharlooie Roya
Published: July 2022

Background and Purpose: English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction in Iran is still mostly focused on traditional ways. This study aims to investigate ESP teachers’ and students’ perceptions of integrating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in ESP instruction to solve traditional ESP instruction problems in Iran.
 
Methodology: This concurrent parallel mixed method study investigated students’ and teachers’ perceptions of solving ESP instruction problems through ICT. The sample concluded 300 undergraduate engineering students and 24 experienced and novice ESP teachers. In the quantitative phase of the study, data were collected through two adapted questionnaires. In the qualitative phase, data were obtained from interviews with 12 undergraduate students, three experienced, and three novice ESP teachers.
 
Findings: The findings revealed that the participants had positive perceptions of integrating different ICT tools for solving the problems with traditional ESP materials and methods, problems with low language skills, lack of autonomy, demotivation problem, inactivity problem, and problems with lack of exposure to real-life situations. The findings also showed that integrating different ICT tools and ICT-based interactive activities promote students’ communication skills subconsciously through experiencing direct participation in communications.
 
Conclusion and Contributions:he findings might contribute significantly to change the ESP instruction status quo in Iran, which is not based on the ESP students’ communication needs, and replace it with innovative approaches to meet the needs of the modern ESP student. The results also provide a unique outlook of promoting ESP instruction in tertiary education by integrating ICTs through divergent stakeholder perceptions.

ciencias sociales en el nuevo orden mundial
Authors: Vessuri Hebe
Published: July 2022

La ciencia actual concibe no sólo a las ciencias duras y la tecnología como un recurso económico nacional de los estados dominantes, sino que de la mano de la economía basada en el conocimiento asigna nuevas misiones a las ciencias sociales. Por otro lado, las nuevas formas de Estado que comenzaron a gestarse en algunos países a partir de las reformas neoliberales de los años 1980 y 1990 generan nuevos desafíos a las ciencias sociales. En este artículo se analizan estos aspectos, y se propone una construcción de las ciencias sociales acumulativa, centrada más en explicar la realidad de la vida y el trabajo empírico que en discutir una y otra vez supuestas grandes o pequeñas teorías. Se concluye que, en el futuro de las ciencias sociales estarán a la orden del día cuestiones éticas, ideológicas y epistemológicas en torno a temas como desarrollo, globalización, diversidad, políticas públicas, democracia, ciudadanía, innovación responsable, futuros posibles y deseables y encrucijadas éticas.

Authors: Ramos Suzany Rangel , Ramos Larissa Letícia Andara
Published: July 2022

Atualmente, a cidade, marcada por um processo de introversão da vida urbana, é também palco do ativismo social que reconhece os espaços públicos como fundamentais para a qualidade de vida urbana. Nesse contexto, a partir da necessidade de espaços públicos qualificados, a sociedade civil, através de ações colaborativas, toma para si a responsabilidade de transformar espaços ociosos potenciais em locais de interação e convívio. O presente artigo busca refletir sobre o papel dessas intervenções na transformação da cidade, além de compreender a relevância do envolvimento de diferentes atores sociais no processo intitulado, neste trabalho, “microintervenções urbanas colaborativas”. O estudo foi realizado através de revisão bibliográfica sobre práticas criativas de transformação do espaço urbano, além da identificação, mapeamento e análise das microintervenções realizadas no contexto do município de Vitória (Espírito Santo). Com o estudo foi possível observar a participação, nas intervenções, dos atores sociais: sociedade civil, poder público e iniciativa privada, além da identificação de um quarto ator social relevante: os especialistas, com experiência técnica para condução do processo. A partir do estudo, considera-se que a participação de diferentes atores no processo colaborativo interfere positivamente na qualidade das transformações socioespaciais e no posterior sucesso das microintervenções urbanas.

Published: July 2022

Trabajo en el cual, se reflexiona sobre el tema del género dentro de las organizaciones, se empieza por explicar la historia del feminismo, que es la historia de las mujeres y su lucha por conseguir el derecho al voto, a la educación, a tener una nacionalidad, un apellido propio, una propiedad, derecho al trabajo, a la salud, derecho a ser dueñas de su cuerpo, se continua con el concepto de género, el cual es entendido como una forma cultural de configurar el cuerpo, está abierto a su continua reforma y no existiría sin un marco cultural. Los estudios de la organización no han sido ajenos a estos movimientos y construcciones teóricas. Los diversos conceptos y agendas se han visto aplicadas al entendimiento de las organizaciones y han llevado a diversos planteamientos que van desde reformar a las organizaciones hasta transformarlas. Para terminar, se presenta una breve descripción de cada uno de los once capítulos que constituyen el libro.
La incursión minoritaria de mujeres en organizaciones de productos y servicios tecnológicos, a propósito de un perfil y trayecto recorrido
Authors: Martínez Cervantes Nancy Fabiola
Published: July 2022

Se reflexiona acerca del porque la mayoría de los estudios que se han realizado sobre mujeres y tecnología desde diversas disciplinas muestran tres hechos: el primero de ellos es que, si bien cada vez se crean más oportunidades laborales en el área de la informática y las TIC, el número de mujeres que decide formarse en esos campos va en decremento. En segundo lugar, está la bajísima o nula presencia femenina en puestos de dirección y toma de decisiones en empresas TIC y la tercera son los denominados "sesgos no conscientes".

El trabajo se encuentra estructurado en cuatro secciones, además de la presente. La segunda sección revisa la literatura relacionada con el tema, la parte tres describe la metodología y los datos empleados en la investigación, la cuarta sección muestra los resultados de la estimación y el análisis de los mismos, presentando el diagnóstico y, finalmente, se presentan las conclusiones.
Visibilizando la periferia. Un acercamiento a organizaciones feministas en el Estado de México
Authors: Espinosa Infante Elvia , López Sánchez Viridiana Giselle
Published: July 2022

Se busca visibilizar a las organizaciones feministas, enfocándose en dar voz a aquellas cuya lucha requiere más trabajo debido a la zona geográfica en la que se encuentran. Aquéllas que buscan llevar seguridad a mujeres que no radican en el centro del país, sino en la periferia; en municipios que, por encontrarse al margen de la Ciudad de México, carecen de seguridad y de medios para ejercer presión política que guíe la acción gubernamental. En este sentido, se delimitaron como campo de estudio los municipios del Estado de México que se localizan a las afueras de la capital. En los que, además, se ha declarado una doble Alerta de Violencia de Género contra las Mujeres por la Comisión Nacional para Prevenir y Erradicar la Violencia contra las Mujeres, Conavim, tales son: Chimalhuacán, Cuautitlán Izcalli, Ecatepec de Morelos, Ixtapaluca, Nezahualcóyotl, Naucalpan de Juárez, Tlalnepantla de Baz y Valle de Chalco. La estructura del capítulo se divide en cinco apartados. Comenzamos con la introducción; en seguida reflexionamos sobre violencia contra la mujer, en donde también abordamos la violencia en la periferia. A continuación, exponemos un panorama nacional y estatal con datos que muestran índices de violencia; posteriormente, presentamos las organizaciones estudiadas como parte de la investigación; y finalmente hacemos reflexiones alrededor de la información presentada. El resultado de este trabajo es un primer acercamiento que brinda información necesaria para continuar con futuras investigaciones que analicen el impacto de las organizaciones civiles de mujeres en comunidades donde la violencia es una situación cotidiana.
THE INFLUENCE OF HARVESTING APPLIED AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF PLANT DEVELOPMENT ON Hyssopus officinalis L. PRODUCTION
Authors: Can Mustafa , Katar Nimet , Katar Duran
Published: July 2022

The yield and quality traits of hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis L.) depending on the plant developmental phases were investigated under Turkey’s Eskisehir ecological conditions in 2019 and 2020. The experiment were conducted in randomized complete block design with 3 replications. The developmental stages examined were before-flowering, beginning of flowering, full flowering and after flowering stage. The effect of harvest times on examined all parameters was very significant (p ≤ 0.05). The maximum yields of fresh herb and dry leaf + flower were obtained from after-flowering stage. However, no significant difference was observed between full flowering and after-flowering period for dry leaf + flower yield. On the other hand, the essential oil content (0.93%) and essential oil yield (24.01 L ha–1) in the full flowering stage were found to be higher. The main components of hyssop essential oil were as follows: pinocamphone (38.41–41.85%), isopinocamphone (22.73–22.99%) and β-pinene (7.92–8.94%). Maximum pinocamphone content was observed in the before-flowering period. To harvesting in full flowering of hyssop plant can be a reasonable strategy in terms of high dry leaf + flower yield, essential oil content and yield.
EFFECT OF DAILY LIGHT INTEGRAL ON PHYSIOLOGICAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL QUALITY OF INDOOR PLANTS IN VERTICAL GARDEN
Authors: Heród Anna , Malik Małgorzata
Published: July 2022

Performance and appearance of vertical gardens are affected by plant quality, which is why creating conditions for their proper growth is crucial. Insufficient amount of light inside buildings significantly limits plant development, especially in the autumn and winter in the northern hemisphere. The objective of this study was to investigate physiological and morphological quality of plant species, Asplenium, Chlorophytum and Philodendron, in an indoor vertical garden exposed to two levels of daily light integral (DLI). Higher DLI level (1.1-1.7 mol m−2 day‑1) improved plant diameter, height, leaf length and width, leaf area, total area of leaf blades, dry weight, and carotenoid content, however did not affected leaf fresh weight and leaf number. Chlorophytum and Asplenium were particularly responsive to natural light supplementation and were distinguished by the best growth habit and compactness.
The Modern Biased Information Test: Proposing alternatives for implicit measures
Authors: Figueredo Aurelio , Smith-Castro Vanessa , Peñaherrera-Aguirre Mateo
Published: July 2022

The present article describes the development of a Modern Biased Information Test (MBIT) inspired by the work published by Donald Campbell in 1950 on indirect measures of prejudice. A biased information test aims to tap individuals' intergroup attitudes from the selective information they use to describe group members. Two biased information tests were developed to measure ethnocentric and androcentric biases, respectively, and applied in four convenience samples of students from two different cultural settings (Costa Rica and the USA). The internal consistency for the accuracy indicators derived from both tests was acceptable and comparable across cultures. In contrast, the internal consistency for ethnocentric biases was adequate across samples and cultures, but the internal consistency for androcentric biases was unacceptable across both cultures. Results are discussed in the line of the usefulness of alternative measures for tapping implicit attitudes.

Authors: Fiorillo Gianluigi , Campobasso Alessandra , Mariani Giorgio , Muzio Eleonora Lo , Mandelli Gualtiero , Gastaldi Giorgio
Published: July 2022

Objectives

To evaluate the quantitative effects of palatal Temporary Anchorage Device (TAD)-supported appliances for the distalisation of maxillary molars in Class II patients.

Methods

An electronic search was conducted in PubMed, CENTRAL, Scopus and the Web of Knowledge databases using specific key terms. The selection process was independently conducted by two researchers to identify relevant articles, published in English until January 2021. After the removal of duplicate articles and data extraction according to the PICOS scheme, the methodological quality of the included papers was ranked on a 9-point scale, from low to high quality.

Results

The initial search identified 14,830 articles, 536 of which were selected by title and abstract. After full-text reading, eleven articles were selected. The quality of evidence was moderate for ten studies, but high for one study. A total of 230 subjects in the permanent dentition were analysed. The mean molar distalisation values ranged from 3.0 millimetres (mm) to 5.3 mm. The mean molar distal tipping varied from −1.20° to 11.24°. The mean mesial movement of premolars showed negative values.

Conclusions

In Class II patients, palatally placed TAD-supported devices are more effective in maxillary molar distalisation compared to conventional appliances, thereby minimising molar distal tipping and preventing premolar anchorage loss during the distalisation mechanics.
Augmented Reality as a Tool in a Train Set Processing Technology
Authors: Bulková Zdenka , Dedík Milan , Gašparík Jozef , Kurenkov Peter V. , Pečený Lumír
Published: July 2022

The analysis of technological procedures in transport and logistics aimed at innovating established procedures is an ongoing process not only in the present. Constant innovation can significantly reduce the operating costs and dramatically increase transport speeds. Continuous modernization reflecting customer needs keeps the rail sector competitive with other modes of transport. The research explores the use of augmented reality in procedures for processing sets of wagons in freight trains. The analysis involves technological procedures in rail freight transport at the marshalling yard, revealing characteristics of augmented reality. We assessed the feasibility of implementing options separately for the carrier, the railway infrastructure manager and the combination of both. The implementation of augmented reality is always rational, representing a simplification, acceleration or reduction of costs in the usual technological procedures. Incorrectly implemented augmented reality may cause serious complications to the technological process, including undue delays, overpricing and safety threats to employees operating in the track.
The role of bioinformatic analysis in the early diagnosis of hereditary fructose intolerance
Authors: Tamás György Attila , Zsolt Kovács
Published: July 2022

Introduction: The importance of early screening for congenital metabolic diseases is well illustrated by hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI), in which the enzyme aldolase B is not synthesized normally in the organism due to a mutation in the ALDOB (9q31.1) gene, and so the breakdown of fructose- 1-phosphate is inadequate. Early diagnosis is essential in the selection of appropriate treatment, as soon as possible. Otherwise, constant intake of fructose into the body can lead to worsening of symptoms and liver damage, which can finally lead to death. Objective: The aim of our research is to facilitate the screening of hereditary fructose intolerance, thus making possible the selection of the correct treatment as soon as possible. For this purpose, we used bioinformatics and the help of an application we made. Methods: Bioinformatic analysis is designed to facilitate the comparison of the patient’s gene obtained by chromosomal sequencing with the nucleotide sequence of the healthy gene. The program we created can recognize and compare the sequence of the patient’s ALDOB gene with the normal one. In a further step, the program can create the mRNA of the introduced gene, and from this, the structure of the protein encoded by the tested gene. Results: The program written in C# can recognize the ALDOB gene introduced in FASTA format, and in case of any differences, it determines the exact positions these can be found, and the type of nucleotides that differ from the normal ones in the introduced sequence. Conclusion: Bioinformatic processing provides a reliable and quick solution for early screening of HFI, since the necessary genetic sampling can be done even on the first week after birth, thus contributing to the establishment of correct treatment. This could also reduce the frequency of complications of patients with HFI and the number of deaths recorded mainly in infants.
Environmental Assessment of the Fresh Sausage Transformation Process in the Italian Context: An LCA Study
Authors: Paolotti Luisa , Rocchi Lucia , Boggia Antonio
Published: July 2022

The problem of Climate Change and the related issues of greenhouse emissions, and energy consumption are among the most debated topics nowadays at international level. It is essential to find viable solutions also in the agri-food sector, moving towards production processes that were more sustainable, energy saver, and possibly follow a circular economy approach. The Circular Economy is not fully a brand-new concept, as it is based on a combination of fundamental and founding concepts such as Industrial Ecology, Regenerative Design, Natural Capitalism, Cradle to Cradle approach and Blue Economy. However, the novelty is in the attention that this concept is gaining among business practitioners, consultancy firms, governments, NGOs and associations, and academics. The aim of this study is to perform a Life Cycle Assessment related to one of the main products of a company of the agri-food sector in central Italy. The product analysed was fresh sausage and the functional unit considered was 100 kg of fresh sausage. The analysis was performed in order to identify the environmental impacts caused by the different transformation processes along the product life cycle, to highlight the critical phases and to plan improvements in terms of efficiency of the production process, with consequent improvement of the environmental performance. Particular attention was paid to the transport and to the energy consumption phases.

Lingkar Rupa Community Strategy in Developing the Actualization of Street Artists in Kota Tua, Jakarta
Authors: Rahardjo Fransisca Retno Setyowati
Published: July 2022

This study will describe the method used by the initiators of the Lingkar Rupa Community as a basis for a strategy to develop the quality of the work of street artists in Kota Tua, as well as a description that archives the movement of a new art community in Jakarta. Lingkar Rupa in an effort to protect and actualize themselves and the work of street artists in Kota Tua. The community, which was initiated by an art and culture teacher, Ferry Kurniawan, is a social activity that arose from the founder's personal anxiety about art life at the grassroots level. This research will discuss the background, art activities and exhibitions, art strategies and the impact that Lingkar Rupa has carried out. With a qualitative method, namely using in-depth interview techniques from several founders and members of Lingkar Rupa's own informants. The theory of participatory art will be a surgical tool that examines the direction of this community's journey. It should be noted that the 'street art' that the author describes here is an art that is different from the terminology of 'street art' in the West which often emerges from elite academic circles and tries to present works of protest against the social situation around them in a very 'educated' manner. This research is also important to identify the 'underground' movement which is often not recognized because it is less popular and dapper. Strategi Komunitas Lingkar Rupa dalam Mengembangkan Aktualisasi Seniman Jalanan di Kota Tua, JakartaAbstrakPenelitian ini akan mengurai metode apa yang dipakai oleh penggagas Komunitas Lingkar Rupa sebagai dasar strategi mengembangkan kualitas berkarya para seniman jalanan di Kota Tua, selain sebagai deskripsi yang mengarsipkan gerakan sebuah komunitas seni baru di Jakarta.

Komunitas yang digagas oleh seorang guru seni dan budaya, Ferry Kurniawan, merupakan aktivitas sosial yang muncul dari kegelisahan personal pendirinya mengenai kehidupan seni di kalangan akar rumput. Dalam penelitian ini akan dibahas mengenai latar belakang, kegiatan seni dan pameran, strategi kesenian, serta dampak yang telah Lingkar Rupa kerjakan, dengan metode kualitatif yaitu menggunakan teknik wawancara yang mendalam dari beberapa informan pendiri dan anggota Lingkar Rupa itu sendiri. Teori seni partisipatoris akan menjadi alat bedah yang mengkaji arah perjalanan komunitas ini. Perlu diketahui bahwa ‘seni jalanan’ yang penulis jabarkan di sini adalah seni yang berbeda dari terminologi ‘street art’ di Barat yang kerap kali muncul dari kalangan akademi elit dan mencoba menghadirkan karya protes terhadap situasi sosial di sekitarnya dengan sangat ‘terdidik’. Penelitian ini juga penting untuk mengidentifikasi gerakan ‘bawah tanah’ yang sering kali tidak terekognisi karena kurang populer dan necis.
I Don’t Exist: Aesthetics of Virtual Expropriation
Authors: Bandeira Patrícia
Published: July 2022

Existing in virtual global networks poses questions on how subjects can main- tain agency within them. The shift of digital networks into compartmentalized locked-in platforms facilitates the metamorphosis of subjects into the category of users. The ever-growing absence of a buffer zone between online and offline representation means that online highjacks become increasingly problematic. Currently, there is a rise in emerging efforts to transition bureaucratic citizenship into new modes of digital identity, such as the ID2020 project and other govern- mental projects seeking to implement digital ID in countries like Australia and Canada, or the digital ID proposed by the World Economic Forum. This shift, in some cases from a centralized state as guarantor to a decentralized allocation of identity allows easy verifiability and access to a multiplicity of services and personal data but also poses questions concerning these systems. This research aims to look at the different models of digital identity that are being developed, thinking about their implications. Researching in an art context, the goal is to develop a speculative project related with digital ID and expropriation, reflecting upon the assetisation of identity. The goal is to think through different theories to explore agency within virtual global networks distributed in planetary-scale assemblages of subjects and technological infrastructures.
Suspicious Behavior

Suspicious Behavior is a fictional annotation tutorial inviting readers to critically examine machine learning datasets assembled to detect anomality in surveil- lance footage. This artwork builds upon artistic methods for scrutinizing image datasets, adding the perspective of on-demand workers to expand insight into classification practices. As readers in the role of annotator-trainees advance through modules of the tutorial, they are introduced to aspects of hidden hu- man labor involved in curating datasets. With limited agency, in assemblages including authorities, developers, data curators and platforms algorithms, the annotators play a part in shaping how ‘intelligent’ computer vision systems will interpret behavior.
With Love. From an Invader.: An Exploration of Landscape and Identity
Authors: Preston Yan Wang , Adkins Monty
Published: July 2022

With Love. From An Invader. is a multi-screen audio-visual installation created during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020-2021 documenting the landscape and soundscape around Sheddon Clough in the north of England using the invasive rho- dodendron ponticum as a symbol not only of the pervasiveness of COVID-19 but also as a means of exploring the political and xenophobic backlash surrounding it. The work explores notions of invasiveness, identity, landscape and recombinant ecologies. The installation deconstructs documentary methods in photography and sound recording to present a novel recombinant experience of place (Iosofat 2009) integrating disparate theories of place, landscape and habitat (Mabey 1973, Maris 2011, and Rotherham 2017).

Karbon tetraklorida (CCl4) merupakan senyawa kimia yang bersifat toksik, namun masih sering digunakan dalam industri bahan pendingin, alat pemadam kebakaran, dan pestisida. Penggunaan CCl4 secara terus menerus dapat memicu terbentuknya radikal bebas sehingga berpotensi merusak organ hati dan ginjal. Tanaman sirsak (Annona muricata L.) salah satu tanaman yang dapat digunakan sebagai obat alternatif karena mengandung senyawa antioksidan yang dapat mencegah pembentukan radikal bebas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian ekstrak daun sirsak terhadap gambaran histologi hati dan ginjal mencit (Mus musculus L.) yang diinduksi karbon tetraklorida. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap dengan 24 ekor mencit jantan yang dikelompokkan menjadi 4 perlakuan yaitu kontrol negatif (K-) diberi larutan Na-CMC 0,5%, kontrol positif (K+) diinduksi CCl4 0,007 mL/20g BB yang dilarutkan dalam minyak kelapa 0,1 mL, dan dua perlakuan yang diinduksi CCl4 0,007 mL/20g BB serta diberi ekstrak daun sirsak dosis 100 mg/kg BB (P1) dan 200 mg/kg BB (P2). Parameter yang diamati pada histologi hati yaitu degenerasi melemak, degenerasi hidropik, nekrosis, kongesti, serta infiltrasi sel radang. Parameter yang diamati pada histologi ginjal yaitu degenerasi melemak, nekrosis, infiltrasi sel radang, dan pembengkakan glomerulus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terjadi penurunan kerusakan yang berbeda nyata (p<0,05) pada P1 dan P2 dibandingkan dengan kontrol positif (K+) pada sayatan histologi hati dan ginjal, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemberian ekstrak daun sirsak mampu memperbaiki kerusakan hati dan ginjal setelah diinduksi karbon tetraklorida.

Salmonellosis is a critical challenge in commercial poultry farming. This study aimed to calculate seroprevalence, identify Salmonella spp., and its pathological investigation from January to December 2019. One hundred fifty (150) serum samples and fifty (50) cloacal swabs from apparently ill and healthy birds were collected in this study. Seroprevalence was observed by serum plate agglutination (SPA) tests. The tentative diagnosis of salmonellosis was made based on history, clinical signs and bacteriological studies. Salmonella spp. was further confirmed using an automated microbiological method (VITEK®2). Post mortem examination was done in apparently sick birds, and gross and microscopic pathological lesions were investigated and recorded in a datasheet. The overall seroprevalence of salmonellosis was 42.67% in commercial chickens. Age wise prevalence of avian salmonellosis showed significantly highest infection rate in adult layers (≥ 45 days old) 65.31%, then 40.74%up to 45 days. In case of broiler, the prevalence rate in 0-10 days, 11-20 days, and 21-35 days were 13.63%, 44.12%, and 16.67%, respectively. Seasonal influence showed significantly highest proportionate prevalence of salmonellosis during summer 66.15%in comparison to winter 25.00% and rainy 24.44% seasons respectively. In bacteriological study, 12 samples were positive for Salmonellae among 50 cloacal samples. Out of 12 positive samples 5 samples were selected for the automated microbiology system VITEK® 2, and only two samples were confirmed as Salmonella gallinarum. Gross pathology of representative organs revealed bronze-colored enlarged liver, hemorrhages in the spleen and lungs, and hemorrhages in the ovary with stalk development. Microscopically, multifocal nodule formation and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the liver parenchyma and marked congestion with inflammatory cells in the spleen, hemorrhage and congestion in the lungs and intestine.
