Authors: Syarruch Barucha Achmad Azza , Hafifah Nur
Published: December 2024

Stress management in the Correctional Institution (Lapas) environment is a major challenge, especially for drug case inmates who face psychological pressure due to loss of freedom, separation from family, and anxiety related to social relationships. This study aims to explore the application of Reality Theory with the WDEP (Wants, Doing, Evaluation, Planning) technique in helping inmates manage their stress and anxiety. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with the main subject being an inmate at Banyuwangi Class IIA Prison who experiences deep anxiety related to his relationship with his child. The results of the study showed that the WDEP technique was effective in helping subjects identify their deepest desires, evaluate actions that have been taken so far, and design concrete steps to achieve better life goals. The data in this study reported a significant decrease in anxiety levels after several counseling sessions, improved sleep quality, and better involvement in spiritual activities such as reading the Qur'an and dhikr. This technique also helped subjects prepare themselves to face difficult conversations with their children honestly and openly. This study concludes that the application of Reality Theory with the WDEP technique is not only effective in reducing stress and anxiety, but also has a positive impact on the psychological well-being and readiness for social reintegration of inmates. This approach is recommended to be integrated into the coaching program in prisons to support a more holistic rehabilitation process

ABSTRACT: Stunting in infants and toddlers remains a serious issue in Indonesia, particularly in rural areas such as Desa Makarti, Marangkayu District. One of the main causes of stunting is the lack of public awareness regarding the importance of optimal nutrition during the early stages of a child's life. To address this issue, a community service program was conducted at Posyandu Kartini 2, focusing on nutritional education through exclusive breastfeeding and training in the preparation of complementary feeding (MP-ASI). This program aimed to enhance mothers' understanding of the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months and the importance of nutrient-rich MPASI to support the growth of infants and toddlers. Through hands-on training in the preparation of affordable and nutritious MP-ASI using locally available food resources, this initiative is expected to be an effective measure in preventing stunting in the region. Based on the results of the program, it was found that the community service contributed to increasing knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding and empowering mothers with the skills to prepare healthy and nutritious MPASI for their infants and toddlers.

The propagation of the ground wave field over a smooth geometrically irregular terrain is considered. The calculations of the modulus of the ground wave field attenuation function over model and real radio paths are presented. The field strength measurements over irregular terrain at a frequency of 10 MHz are performed. The attenuation function calculations on a relief path are performed using the Hufford’s integral equation. The numerical solution of the integral equation is applicable to relief paths with elevation differences commensurate with the wavelength. Comparison of the calculations with measurements on a real mountainous path at a frequency of 10 MHz showed satisfactory agreement of the results. It is shown that the applicability of the integral equation method for calculating the attenuation function is due to the location of the geometric inhomogeneity from the transmitter at a distance of no closer than five integration steps.

A technology for manufacturing suspended bridges to improve the performance of superconducting micro- and nanodevices, sensors and electronic coolers is described. Samples of bolometers and electron coolers of the superconductor-insulator-normal metal-insulator-superconductor (SINIS) structure have been fabricated, in which the strip of normal metal does not touch the substrate, but hangs between the banks of superconducting aluminum. The fabrication technology involves isotropic chemical etching of aluminum and critical point drying, which allows the superconductor layer under the normal bridge to be removed and prevents the bridge from sagging and sticking to the substrate. The current-voltage characteristics of such devices were measured at a temperature of 0.3 K.

Мета. У науковій літературі відмічається, що суспільство вивчає історію для того, щоб краще планувати майбутнє. На думку авторів даної публікації, історія є видом діяльності, дослідження, методологією якої є дві основні методики: методика як аналіз проблеми у зміні в часі; методика як аналіз проблеми у зміні в просторі. Саме така методологія, дозволить поширити поглиблення розуміння минулого обраних сфер діяльності для використання корисного і недопущення повторення помилок минулого. Враховуючи даний аспект, метою дослідження є розкриття сутності та змісту поняття соціальної відповідальності шляхом оцінки переваг і недоліків розуміння відповідальності на визначених історичних етапах (Античності, Середньовіччя, Нового часу, Просвітництва, етапі кінця XIX – початку XXI століття). Методика дослідження. Дослідження ґрунтується на огляді літературних джерел, діалектичному методі Гегеля, методиці 2С70, методі аналогії. Результати. В роботі визначені переваги і недоліки розуміння відповідальності на етапі Античності (перевага: відповідальність правильно пов’язують зі порушенням правил моралі і права; недолік: відсутнє розуміння необхідності умови відповідальності – адекватності рівня покарань характеру порушення правил). Визначено переваги і недоліки розуміння відповідальності на етапі Середньовіччя (перевага: людськи правила моралі доповнюються релігійними правилами – заповідями; недолік: знання відповідальності не досягають розуміння її сутності). Визначено переваги і недоліки розуміння відповідальності на етапі Нового часу (перевага: вперше доводиться, що будь-яка відповідальність є соціальна; недолік: знання відповідальності як і раніше не досягають розуміння її сутності). Визначено переваги і недоліки розуміння відповідальності на етапі Просвітництва (перевага: доповнене розуміння багатьох інших аспектів відповідальності; недолік: але суттєве визначення СВ відсутнє й тут). Визначено переваги розуміння відповідальності на етапі кінця XIX – початку XXI століття – сформульована сутність СВ, як адекватність рівня покарання характеру порушення правил соціуму. Наукова новизна. Вперше надано оцінку переваг і недоліків історичних етапів розвитку СВ у контексті розкриття її сутності та змісту. Практична значущість. Отримані результати сприятимуть поглибленню рівня знань соціальної відповідальності, що, у свою чергу, підвищить ефективність практики СВ, як важливої і специфічної форми менеджменту.

Thermal activation of Multi-Recycled Concrete Powder as Supplementary Cementitious Material for Repeated and waste-free Recycling
Authors: Kim Jeonghyun , Ubysz Andrzej
Published: December 2024

The utilization of powder generated during the recycling process of concrete waste is considered crucial for achieving the complete recycling of concrete waste. This study investigated the effect of thermal activation on using recycled concrete powder (RCP), produced from repeated recycling of concrete, as a supplementary cementitious material. RCPs obtained from three cycles of concrete recycling were heat-treated at 200 ℃, 400 ℃, 600 ℃, and 800 ℃ for 2 hours, and their chemical composition was analyzed before and after treatment. Subsequently, the RCPs were used to replace ordinary Portland cement in mortar by 10%, 20%, and 30%, and the fresh and hardened properties of the mortars, such as flow, mechanical strength, water absorption, and drying shrinkage, were tested. The results showed that as the replacement rate and the number of recycling cycles of RCP increased, the properties of the mortar deteriorated. However, heat treatment at 600 ℃ and 800 ℃ enhanced the strength and shrinkage resistance of the mortar. Specifically, the three-times RCP activated at 800 ℃ achieved mechanical performance similar to standard mortar at a 10% replacement rate without a decrease in strength grade. This study is expected to contribute to the repeatable recycling of concrete with zero waste.
Specific impairment of hand laterality recognition in mastectomy patients
Authors: de Araujo Almeida Larissa Nazaré Queiroz , Moraes Lucas Barbosa , Cardoso Marcelo Marques , Saunier Ghislain
Published: December 2024

It is common for mastectomy patients to present with sensorimotor symptoms that can affect the execution of voluntary movements, which engages endogenous motor representations. It is therefore necessary to expand our knowledge of motor representations in mastectomy patients to propose novel and complementary tools to conventional rehabilitation. The investigation of such motor representations may be conducted through the utilisation of tasks that implicitly engage a motor imagery process. Accordingly, the aim of our study was to ascertain the impact of a unilateral mastectomy on motor representations, employing an implicit motor imagery task. To investigate this, seven mastectomy participants and ten matched healthy controls had to judge the laterality of hands presented in a different view (i.e., back and palm) and different orientations (i.e., 0°, 90° lateral, 90° medial and 180°). The results demonstrated that the mastectomy group exhibited a lower hit rate than the control participants and a longer response time, particularly for the palm view in postures that engaged significant biomechanical constraints (i.e., 90° lateral and 180°). These findings suggest that mastectomy procedure induce alterations in patients’ motor representations. Accordingly, we propose that the mastectomy participants had greater difficulty in simulating the movement that allowed them to rotate their own hand in order to align it with the hand image presented on the computer screen.

Humans can mentally create and elaborately describe events, detailing not just the who, what, and where, but also the connections and intricacies of these elements. Propositional density, the number of propositions expressed relative to total words, can be leveraged to assess how elaborately the elements of memories are described. The present study used propositional density to investigate how age relates to the elaborateness of orally shared autobiographical event memories. This preregistered study included 114 young adults (mean age = 24.1) and 171 cognitively normal older adults (mean age = 68.3). Propositional density scores were calculated using Computerized Propositional Idea Density Rater (CPIDR). In addition to conducting a young versus older adult comparison, we separated older adults into “younger-old” and “older-old” groups and compared propositional density scores for these groups and the young adult group. Propositional density was higher in young adults than older adults, Cohen’s f = 0.13, p = .029, which was driven by propositional density being significantly higher in young adults than older-old adults, Cohen’s f = 0.15, p = .027. No other significant group differences were found. In a sample of older adults, propositional density scores on past- and future-oriented tasks were significantly correlated, ρ = .43, p < .001. In advanced older age, many individuals may display lower propositional density in spoken autobiographical event memories, possibly reflecting that the elements of memories are less elaborately described in this population.
The Beyond Reality Image Collection (BRIC)
Authors: Segal-Gordon Noga , Bar-Anan Yoav
Published: December 2024

The Beyond Reality Image Collection (BRIC) is a set of 648 photos, some painted by an artist and some generated by artificial intelligence. Unlike previous photosets, the BRIC focused on non-realistic visuals. This collection includes abstract and non-abstract paintings, and non-realistic photographs depicting objects, scenes, animals, humans, and fantastical creatures with varying degrees of unreal elements. We collected evaluative ratings of the photos, using a convenience sample of 16,208 participants in a total of 25,321 sessions. We used multiple evaluation measures: binary positive/negative and like/dislike categorization, 7-point ratings on these attributes, both under no time pressure and under time pressure, and evaluative priming scores. The mean evaluation of the photos on the different measures was highly correlated, but some photos consistently elicited a discrepant evaluative reaction between the measures. The BRIC is a valuable resource for eliciting evaluative reactions and can contribute to research on evaluative processes and affective responses.

Stratified Scars: Social inequality in the labor market consequences of upper secondary dropout
Authors: Ostermann Kerstin , Patzina Alex , Morris Katy
Published: December 2024

While the association between upper secondary dropout and negative labor market consequences is well-documented, the causal link and the social stratification in this effect are less clear. Using geo-referenced administrative data from Germany and a conditional instrumental variable approach that exploits distances between place of residence and large firms, we find negative income consequences for dropping out of vocational training but show that the penalty is entirely concentrated among individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. We further show that these stratified scars partially reflect unequal vocational re-enrolment rates and unequal employment outcomes among dropouts who do not re-enroll. Our results indicate a great potential of policies targeting higher graduation rates to reduce social inequality in labor markets. Furthermore, our study suggests that social origins are important moderators of linkage strength between school and work even in institutional settings with strong links between credentials and the labor market.

El estudio realizó los análisis necesarios para obtener evidencias de validez y confiabilidad de la escala de estrés y ansiedad, las cuales pertenecen al INDACPS. Estos dos indicadores se entienden como reacciones del organismo ante la adaptación en un entorno (estrés) o como respuesta a una amenaza (ansiedad). Cuando estas reacciones son constantes y de fuerte intensidad, tienden a manifestarse en comportamientos desajustados. La muestra comprendió a 223 adultos en Lima, Perú, utilizando un muestreo no probabilístico. El tipo de investigación fue tecnológica aplicada de carácter descriptivo-comparativo. Se desarrollaron tres modelos: uno unidimensional donde se juntaron los ítems de estrés y ansiedad, y dos modelos adicionales donde se evaluaron de manera independiente. El análisis factorial exploratorio para cada escala independiente mostró un solo factor para cada una (estrés con un KMO = .837 y ansiedad con un KMO = .841), además de ser significativo (Bartlett p < .001).

Authors: Ayub Sheenam , Gupta Sonal , Ojha Riya , Saket Antra
Published: December 2024

This review aimed to examine the recent literature concerning conventional intracanal medicaments, and summarize important recent developments. Literature research was performed focusing on articles on safe and effective intracanal medicaments in Google Scholar using the MeSH terms “herbal drugs as intracanal medicaments”, “intracanal medicaments for pediatric patients” and “safe intracanal medicaments”. A total of 63 studies were included in this review, following inclusion and exclusion criteria. Our literature search revealed that drugs derived from natural sources have become promising alternatives for intracanal medicaments due to their safety profile and potential therapeutic advantages. Furthermore, herbal remedies are frequently well-tolerated by paediatric patients, reducing the likelihood of adverse events. The advantages of herbal drugs in paediatric dentistry extend beyond their antimicrobial efficacy. They offer a holistic approach by harnessing the healing properties of nature, potentially minimizing the need for synthetic chemicals and antibiotics. Recent advancements in intracanal medicaments for paediatric dentistry encompass a spectrum of options, ranging from conventional to herbal-based formulations. While conventional medicaments continue to play a vital role, herbal drugs offer promising alternatives with potential benefits in efficacy, safety, and patient acceptance.
Introduction: Security from the Margins
Authors: Naucke Philipp , Halbmayer Ernst
Published: December 2024

Starting from the ambivalence and contradiction of social categories at the margins, this introduction points out the potential of a perspective from and on the margins for a Critical Anthropology of Security. We conceptualize security from the margins as discourses and practices concerned with the social reproduction of marginalized actors, and security concepts and strategies used to negotiate, and establish notions of a “good life.” Security from the margins is characterized by the positionality, temporality, and (in)visibility of marginalized actors and security practices, which, taken seriously, illustrate the diversity of specific threats, practices, and concepts involved in increasingly complex (in)security situations. Marginalized security practices not only aim to minimize negative security risks but generate positive options that secure living conditions at the margins.
From the Margins

How does our understanding of security change when we reflect on it from the perspective of crime offender, and within the space where the security apparatus assumes a vital importance—the prison? Based on ethnographic data from 12 prison facilities in Portugal, in this article I discuss vernacular notions of security from the perspective of male and female inmates. My aim is to bring to the forefront of the Anthropology of Security research the experiences, practices, and discourses of actors that so far have been excluded from the crime-security nexus debate.

Authors: Wa Ode Sinta Kalsum , Djono
Published: December 2024

One of the main drivers of human resource development is education. Particularly in coastal regions like Mantigola village, which is home to the Bajo tribe, Indonesia struggles to provide fair and high-quality education. One of the factors contributing to unequal access to education, according to the National Development Planning Agency (2014), is remote rural geographic settings. Aside from topographical issues, the primary concerns at Mantigola State Satap Middle School are inadequate infrastructure, low reading and writing literacy, and the pupils' fishing culture. The Merdeka Curriculum places a strong emphasis on creating learning experiences that are student-centered. Before establishing learning objectives, the Dick and Carey methodology provides a way to assess instructional needs using Front End Analysis (FEA). This study investigates how FEA is used at Satap Negeri Mantigola Middle School to create learning goals that are pertinent to the Merdeka Curriculum and appropriate for the students' setting. The implementation of FEA in this situation was examined using a qualitative descriptive case study methodology. The findings demonstrate how FEA aids in determining the needs, performance, and learning environments of students as well as in creating more purposeful and flexible learning objectives.

Authors: Yashilfa Dwi Chandra Rani  , Nissa Khairun
Published: December 2024

In the digital age, the integration of technology in education has transformed how students submit assignments, with e-portfolios emerging as a dynamic platform. E-portfolios offer students a personalized digital space to document their learning progress, showcase achievements, and engage in reflective practice. This study explores the perceptions of English student teachers regarding the use of e-portfolios in a reflective practice project. Utilizing a qualitative approach, both questionnaires and interview data were collected with 14 students. The findings reveal that students perceive e-portfolios as beneficial for tracking their growth, visualizing progress, and supporting reflective learning. Despite these benefits, challenges such as technical difficulties and time constraints were also noted. The study highlights the significance of e-portfolios as an alternative assessment tool and emphasizes their role in enhancing self-reflection and professional growth. However, addressing technical issues and time management is crucial for maximizing the potential of e-portfolios in education.

This qualitative case study investigated learners’ perspectives on using the Forvo website to enhance their English-speaking skills within an online Discord community, "The English Hub." Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and textual analysis of Discord conversations. Inductive thematic analysis revealed that students perceived Forvo as a valuable tool, aligning with Previous Research, Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory and TELL principles. Forvo facilitated social interaction, provided access to native speaker pronunciations (MKOs), and served as a cultural tool, promoting pronunciation improvement, confidence building, and vocabulary acquisition. Students reported significant improvements in their speaking skills, particularly in pronunciation, accent reduction, and fluency. Forvo effectively complemented traditional learning methods, offering authentic pronunciation models, a supportive online community, and a user-friendly interface. This study highlights the potential of Forvo to empower learners in their pursuit of English fluency

Authors: Nasution Ninda Yustika , Listiana Aan
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this research is to investigate the relation between the stimulation of play that is provided by parents and the development of linguistic and social skills in young children. One of the most important methods in which children develop their social, emotional, and cognitive abilities is through play. The purpose of this study was to identify different types of play, such as physical, symbolic, and social play, as well as the role that parents play in supporting these types of play. This was accomplished through observations, interviews with parents, and documenting of play activities. According to the findings, parents who are actively involved in play with their children have the ability to improve their children's social skills, including the ability to share, cooperate, resolve conflicts, and understand diverse points of view. In addition, it was discovered that play stimulation, particularly in the form of role-playing and group play, plays a significant role in the development of empathy, communication skills, and language acquisition. The excessive use of digital media and the restricted amount of time that parents have available to spend with their children were highlighted as variables that inhibit the quality of interactions that occur during play. The findings of this study indicate that parental play stimulation is an essential component in the process of nurturing both social and language development in young children. This finding has implications for both parents and educators in terms of the development of play activities that support children's overall growth and development.

Published: December 2024

Social interactions in the context of cooperation and competition are the most important type of activity of people, determining their well-being and success in life. The neural bases of this activity, as well as the role of personality-related individual differences, are insufficiently studied. In particular, the literature lacks data on the relationship between neuroticism and individual differences in brain activity during cooperative and competitive interactions, and the aim of our work was to fill this gap. fMRI data were recorded during task performance in individual, cooperative, and competitive modes and analyzed using the inter-subject representative similarity analysis. The results indicate that in emotionally instable individuals, social interactions, in both cooperative and competitive contexts, are associated with greater strain, manifested in the activity of social brain, emotion regulation, and attentional centers. This can potentially lead to the accumulation of the effects of social stress and the emergence of symptoms of mental health problems.
