Published: September 2023

Energetic insufficiency, excess production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and aberrant signaling partially account for the diverse pathology of mitochondrial diseases. Whether interventions affecting ROS, a regulator of stem cell pools, could modify somatic stem cell homeostasis remains unknown. Previous data from mitochondrial DNA mutator mice showed that increased ROS leads to oxidative damage in erythroid progenitors, causing lifespan-limiting anemia. Also unclear is how ROS-targeted interventions affect terminally differentiated tissues. Here, we set out to test in mitochondrial DNA mutator mice how ubiquitous expression of theCiona intestinalisalternative oxidase (AOX), which attenuates ROS production, affects murine stem cell pools. We found that AOX does not affect neural stem cells but delays the progression of mutator-driven anemia. Furthermore, when combined with the mutator, AOX potentiates mitochondrial stress and inflammatory responses in skeletal muscle. These differential cell type-specific findings demonstrate that AOX expression is not a global panacea for curing mitochondrial dysfunction. ROS attenuation must be carefully studied regarding specific underlying defects before AOX can be safely used in therapy.
The insignificance of GDP growth rate to people’s welfare: a political economy analysis of China’s impressive GDP
Authors: Handoyo Asmarawati , Isnadi Yuli
Published: September 2023

In recent decades, there was a fierce debate about whether Gross Domestic Product (GDP) accurately describe people’s welfare. This manuscript aims to prove, an impressive GDP does not mean that people live on welfare. This topic is important to be discussed, simply, because it shows the actual condition of the people during their impressive GDP growth, besides, theoretically, it also sheds light on the correlation between GDP and real welfare. Taking China between 1980-2014, when China experienced the highest GDP growth as a case study, this investigation used secondary data provided by previous empirical research documents and international organizations’ data such as UNDP, WHO, World Bank and other relevant sources. The data was analyzed by comparative research method for comparing China’s GDP rate with China’s achievement on five aspects of alternative economic development gauges: inequality rates, life expectancy, health quality, education attainment, and environmental impacts. This investigation figured out that the impressive of China’s GDP has no direct correlation to Chinese real welfare. Along with the impression of China’s GDP, the Chinese must deal with inequality, the low government budget for human resources development, and environmental issues. This finding might support the previous analysts who were pessimists about the accuracy of GDP in measuring people’s welfare and develop a new path for future research.

Published: September 2023

Abstract. The global pandemic of COVID-19 has a direct impact on educational setting, schools and universities finally have to use an online platform as a way out. This present research aims to analyse EFL students’ and teachers’ perception on their online learning during the outbreak using metaphoric words. A questionnaire using metaphor analysis concept was distributed online to 55 students and 14 teachers at one private university in Indonesia. Data coding was done through qualitative analysis software, NVivo 12 Plus. Results show that EFL students and teachers have various metaphoric entailments to describe their perceptions. Three major metaphoric words used by students were related to hobby, game, and food for 11 coding references respectively, whereas for teachers the metaphoric used were hobby (4 coding references); game (3 coding references); relationship (2 coding references), others was in small distribution. Derived from the metaphoric words used by the students and teachers, the nuance can be drawn into their perspectives towards the online learning. The results also revealed that EFL students perceived online learning negatively; whereas, teachers were mostly in a neutral position towards their online teaching. This study has shed a light that this pandemic has essentially shown that in the future educational curriculum, particularly in EFL context, online learning activities should be made a part of ELT class.Keywords : COVID-19, Online Learning, EFL Learners, Metaphor Analysis

Authors: Nur Sahril , Patak Andi Anto , Sunra La
Published: September 2023

Abstract. It is not enough to teach a language without acknowledging culture while teaching English as a Foreign Language, so teachers must be culturally conscious of incorporating culture into their teaching activities. This research was conducted to investigate the cultural awareness of pre-service EFL teachers in the higher education context. The aim is to find out the cultural understanding of cultural differences of the pre-service EFL teachers. This research used a qualitative research design. The participants of this research were 20 pre-service EFL teachers who had attended the PPG program in 2018. A questionnaire by Marx and Moss (2011) on My Cultural Awareness Profile (MyCAP) was adopted as an instrument of this research. The study's findings showed that the participants had a significant cultural awareness and understanding of cultural differences. However, due to the limited time and approach employed in the study, the researchers hope that more researchers will be attracted to look further into intercultural understanding in higher education with different subjects and approaches.Keywords: Cultural Awareness, Cultural Understanding, Cultural Differences, Pre-Service EFL Teacher

Published: September 2023

Abstract. Classroom oral presentation is one of the techniques that has been used in any language classroom to provide an opportunity for language practice. This research investigates EFL students' challenges in classroom oral presentation and their strategies to face the challenges. The presentations covered group and individual presentations. Using a qualitative research approach and a descriptive design, authors collected data through in-dept interviews. Participants were four students of the English department of one private university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, who had multiple experiences performing oral presentations in the classrooms that they had been attending for at least three years. The study found nervousness, group dynamics, audience, missing points, challenging content, language boundaries, and high self-expectation as the challenges the participants faced in classroom oral presentations. In addition, the study also discovered that strategies used to overcome the challenges were self-assurance, better preparation, peer discussions, directed eye contact, direct communication, backups, self-isolation, and presentation aids use. The implication is that in EFL classroom contexts, all factors surrounding the students might play a part in the way students view their experience and their success in an oral presentations. It also implied that eventually, students will have the ability to utilize the resources around them to solve their issues in an oral presentation. This gives an insight to how teachers can provide the environment that enables students to independently solve their problems. Keywords: Classroom Oral Presentation, Challenges, Strategies To Face The Challenges, CBI, CLT

Published: September 2023

Abstract.  Since the release of the 2013 Curriculum system by the Indonesian Ministry of Education, the vocabulary of Indonesian senior high school Chinese textbooks has constantly been changing. In 2021, The National Language Commission of the Ministry of Education, PRC, released the Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for International Chinese Language Education (Grading Standard). In the same year, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia encouraged learning according to students' abilities and provided more expansive space for character development and essential competencies through the 2022 Prototype Curriculum system as an option for all academic units. This curriculum is a system implemented between 2022 and 2024 in the post-COVID-19 learning recovery. Based on the analysis of these new standards, we find out how to adapt to curriculum changes, find out which difficulties arise and how to overcome them. In this study, we use analytic and quantitative research to analyze the teachers' adaptation process to the two new standards in textbook vocabulary. Furthermore, we use the vocabulary statistics of Mandarin textbooks for senior high school, textbook compiling principle-based these two standards and related theory. Through the analysis and statistics of the vocabulary in this textbook, we found that teachers need to adjust some main words in adapting to the two new standards and make a vocabulary selection and supplement to the textbook vocabulary. In addition, to meet the standards of government textbook preparation and meet the expectations of textbook users to understand social life in China through vocabulary to achieve better communication, teachers need teaching resources for textbook vocabulary teaching in this adaptation.Keywords: Indonesian curriculum Prototype Curriculum,Vocabulary learning,Chinese Language new standard, Bahasa Mandarin/汉语 textbook.
The Translation of Clausal Extension Collocation: A Contrastive Study of English-IndonesianTranslation
Authors: Setiarini Ni Luh Putu
Published: September 2023

Abstract. Collocation is the co-occurrence of words comprising a node and one or more collocates. Insufficient studies have documented on the equivalence of source language (SL) collocation into more than one version of target language (TL) collocation. Hence, this study aims to explore the equivalence of English clausal extension collocations in the three versions of Indonesian translated novels, to identify the typology of the translations, to deal with the cohesive ties of the translations, to investigate the translation techniques used, and to observe the impact of translation techniques on the quality of the translation in terms of accuracy, acceptability, and readability. The methods applied in this research were quantitative and descriptive qualitative. The data were taken from a novel Pride and Prejudice and the three versions of Indonesian translated novels. Documentary analysis was implemented in collecting the data. They were pinpointed, coded, evaluated, classified and analysed. Further, the findings indicate that English clausal extension collocations are translated into Indonesian in the form of clausal extension, verbal extension, clausal enhancement, verbal enhancement collocation, and non-verbal node collocation. Meanwhile, the cohesive ties of the collocations include strong and weak cohesive ties. The translation techniques applied are generalization, established equivalence, modulation, amplification, and discursive creation. The use of generalization, established equivalence, modulation and amplification results in accurate, acceptable, and readable translations. On the other hand, discursive creation and deletion result in less accurate, less acceptable and less readable. It was concluded that it is the arbitrariness of language that results the different typology and cohesive tie of collocation among languages. Altogether, accuracy, acceptability and readability should be the goal of translation.  Keywords: Arbitrariness; Clausal Extension Collocation, Translation Quality Assessment, Translation Techniques

ABSTRAK Program transmigrasi bukan hanya untuk memberikan kesejahteraan kepada transmigran, namun juga untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan bagi penduduk lokal. Menurutnya, keseimbangan kesejahteraan antara transmigran dan penduduk lokal adalah kunci keberhasilan program transmigrasi. Sekarang program transmigrasi ialah untuk memberikan kesejahteraan kepada yang datang (transmigran) dan menambah kesejahteraan kepada yang didatangi (penduduk lokal), baru terjadi keseimbangan. Jika tidak, maka transmigrasi menjadi tidak maksimal. Program transmigrasi dapat mencampurkan kemampuan dan keterampilan antara pendatang dan penduduk lokal. Dengan begitu, produktifitas daerah yang menjadi tujuan transmigrasi akan mengalami peningkatan. Program transmigrasi merupakan program yang sejak lama menjadi bagian dari upaya memajukan negeri. Menurutnya, perkembangan paradigma transmigrasi yang awalnya difahami sebagai upaya mengurangi kepadatan penduduk di Pulau Jawa pun berubah sesuai zaman.
Estaríamos Vivenciando uma Virada Decolonial na Educação em Ciências Brasileira?
Authors: Dos Santos Regiane Lopes , Lima Junior Paulo
Published: September 2023

Em cerca de setenta anos de existência no Brasil, a pesquisa em ensino de ciências tem se metamorfoseado teórico-metodologicamente. Como efeito dessas transições, ao longo das décadas houve alguns booms de publicações com foco em novas abordagens de investigação nessa área. Olhando para a produção científica brasileira até meados de 2021, sugerimos o avanço de outra onda no mar da educação científica, atraída por discussões associadas aos impactos da colonização para a educação. Neste trabalho, primeiramente apresentamos parte da teorização polifônica relacionada à resistência da colonização e destacamos pontos relevantes desse diálogo para nossa área. Posteriormente, com base em uma pesquisa bibliográfica, mostramos o aumento do número de artigos ligados a essas perspectivas publicados em periódicos nacionais pela comunidade de ensino de ciências. Complementarmente trouxemos acontecimentos que provavelmente contribuíram para catalisar o ingresso deste referencial teórico para a área no Brasil. Estabelecemos a hipótese de que o marco para a introdução do referencial decolonial no ensino de ciências brasileiro ocorreu em 2004 e que o ano de 2019 tornou-se um ponto de viragem para o ancoramento de um movimento crucial para a promoção de justiça social no ensino de ciências no país.

Em todo o mundo, há um interesse crescente no uso e consumo adequado de matérias-primas sustentáveis ​​que se baseiam na reciclagem e reaproveitamento de polímeros derivados do petróleo e outros materiais reciclados, como folhas de colaminados. Estas "alternativas sustentáveis" parecem ser uma solução atraente para os problemas ambientais, no entanto é importante considerar os potenciais impactos ambientais e de saúde pública que podem resultar da sua utilização. Portanto, o objetivo do nosso projeto de pesquisa é analisar as emissões de VOC de materiais poliméricos "sustentáveis", geralmente chapas e colaminados, e avaliar seus possíveis impactos ambientais e à saúde. Para tanto, um protótipo de câmara para medição de compostos orgânicos foi projetado e fabricado a partir do acoplamento de uma série de sensores para VOCs. Os resultados mostraram a presença de gases como CO, NO2, NH3 e material particulado, alguns dos quais estão acima dos limites permitidos de exposição humana, concluindo que as emissões de alguns VOCs podem representar um risco potencial tanto para o meio ambiente quanto para a saúde humana. É fundamental continuar pesquisando para encontrar alternativas sustentáveis ​​que não comprometam a saúde e o bem-estar das pessoas e do meio ambiente.

In the current digital era, the increasing public interest in searching for information about travel destinations necessitates an effective and accurate search system. However, search results for travel destination articles often yield irrelevant or inadequate outcomes. To address this issue, this paper proposes applying the Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) algorithm and Cosine Similarity in the search feature for travel destination articles. By employing these algorithms, the search system is anticipated to deliver more relevant and accurate results according to user needs.

This research contributes to developing an effective search system for travel destination articles, assisting users in obtaining relevant and high-quality information about the destinations they are searching for. The methodology involves collecting data on travel destination articles, implementing the TF-IDF algorithm to evaluate term importance, and utilizing Cosine Similarity to measure the similarity between articles and user queries.

The study results demonstrate that implementing the TF-IDF algorithm and Cosine Similarity in the search feature for travel destination articles enhances the accuracy and relevance of search results. Users can quickly discover articles that align with their queries, improving their search experience. In conclusion, this research highlights that applying the TF-IDF algorithm and Cosine Similarity in the search feature significantly improves the accuracy and relevance of search results for travel destination articles. This enhances the search experience for users seeking information about travel destinations.

The 5G network has been used in Grand Prix 1 (GP-1) in Indonesia. In accordance with the permission granted by the Ministry of Communication and Information with a working frequency of below 900 MHZ, mid 2.3 GHz, and high 28 GHz. One of the advantages of 5G is that the download speed reaches 20 Gpbs per user using high frequencies. This study simulates by analyzing the effect of 5G network performance when there is rain attenuation which can reduce signal quality. Then a centralized RAN (C-RAN) architectural scenario is created when the BTS is dampened by rain for each of its links. Then calculating the rainfall data to become rain attenuation with ITU-R recommendations, the SNR values ​​are obtained from 3 dBm to 20 dBm, the SNR values ​​are used as input using the Maximal Ratio Combining method in order to reduce signal interference that occurs due to rain.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of four liter Polyethylin glycol alone with two liter polyethylin glycol plus bisacodyl  in preparation of  large bowel before colonoscopy. Study Design: Randomized Control Trial. Setting: Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and GI Endoscopy, SZABMU, Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad. Period: 1st January 2021 to 31st December 2021. Material & Methods: One hundred seventy patients, both males and females, who had indications for colonoscopy were included. After informed consent two equal groups of 85 were made. In group A, bisacodyl was added with two liters polyethylin glycol while in group B four liter Polyethylin glycol alone was used to prepare the gut before colonoscopy. Results: Out of 170 patients, the calculated Ottawa score was almost same in both groups. Extraordinary cleaning was found more regularly within the combination group (p < 0.05). No intense adverse effects were found among the 2 regimens besides nausea, abdominal pain, and anal irritation which were seen a bit more in group B. The tolerability was better with bisacodyl and 2-L PEG preparation (P<0.05). Conclusion: 2 L PEG+ bisacodyl preparation is a good alternative to 4-L PEG preparation for bowel cleansing, with distinct advantages in terms of tolerability, acceptability and compliance.

Objective: To find out the types and outcome of respiratory illnesses at a tertiary healthcare facility. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Department of Pediatrics, Rai Medical College Teaching Hospital, Sargodha Pakistan. Period: January 2022 to July 2022. Material & Methods: Admitted children of both genders aged between 1 month to 12 years were analyzed. At the time of admission, characteristics like gender, age, body weight, vaccination status and types of respiratory illness were noted. Duration of hospitalization along with outcome was recorded. Results: During the study period, a total 851 children were admitted. Out of these 851 children, 266 (31.3%) children had some kinds of respiratory illnesses and were further analyzed. There were 148 (55.6%) male children while overall mean age was 3.9±2.6 years. Pneumonia was the commonest respiratory illness noted in 92 (34.5%) children while bronchiolitis was the 2nd most common respiratory illness observed in 56 (21.1%). A total of 241 (90.6%) children were discharged, 11 (4.1%) referred to other departments, 7 (2.6%) LAMA while deaths were noted in 7 (2.6%). Vaccination status was found to have significant association with the outcome (n=0.0096). Conclusion: Respiratory illnesses contribute significantly to children admitted to resource limited healthcare facilities. Poor immunization status has significant association with mortality among children with respiratory illnesses.
