Scientific Journals as Narrative Objects of the Sciences
Authors: Martinovich Viviana
Published: October 2023

Using a referential framework that integrates the hermeneutic philosophy of Hans-Georg Gadamer and Paul Ricœur, the critical theory of Herbert Marcuse and Jürgen Habermas, and the traditions of the history of the book and reading with the works of Roger Chartier and Martyn Lyons, among others, this essay aims to understand scientific journals as narrative objects of the sciences. These journals bring together communities that share common ways of interpreting the world and shape agreed-upon forms of narrating that common understanding. From this perspective, scientific journals interlace the rationality present in the conversations that occur in the narrative dimension with the conversations of their social environment. These conversations mutually influence one other, and in that dynamic converge both macro-social actions related to political, technical, economic, cultural, and/or religious dimensions, as well a series of mediating practices that operate at the micro-social level, linked to editorial knowledge, formal and informal channels of circulation, collaborative networks, and operational capacities, with the potential to legitimize, delegitimize, or even nullify the circulation of certain conversations.

In the present work, jackfruit and coconut shell waste from natural resources are used to synthesize adsorbents by the carbonization method for the removal of methylene blue dye and impurities from wastewater. Adsorbents from jackfruit and coconut shell wastes were synthesized at 550°C for 4 h in the carbonization method and activated by acid treatment. Adsorbents synthesized from jackfruit and coconut shell waste were characterized using techniques such as the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction to study and compare their properties. This research concludes that jackfruit waste adsorbents act better than coconut shells and are similar to conventional ones. At adsorption parameters of 30°C, pH = 7, 3 g adsorbent quantity, reusable three times, and a 24 h contact period, the adsorption of dye and debris from wastewater jackfruit waste is a preferable choice. Also, the qualities of traditional activated charcoal are contrasted with those of jackfruit and coconut shell adsorbents. Purification of wastewater with jackfruit adsorbent was > 96.3% as compared to coconut shell adsorbent, which had a 69.3% waste removal efficiency. The results demonstrated that jackfruit waste, due to its better structure, morphology, and surface area, would be the most effective adsorbent for removing methylene blue dye and contaminants from wastewater.

Clinical trials in nephrology often use composite end points comprising clinical events, such as onset of ESKD and initiation of kidney function replacement therapy, along with a sustained large (e.g., ≥50%) decrease in GFR. Such events typically occur late in the disease course, resulting in large trials in which most participants do not contribute clinical events. In addition, components of the end point are considered of equal importance; however, their clinical significance varies. For example, kidney function replacement therapy initiation is likely to be clinically more meaningful than GFR decline of ≥50%. By contrast, hierarchical composite end points (HCEs) combine multiple outcomes and prioritize each patient's most clinically relevant outcome for inclusion in analysis. In this review, we consider the use of HCEs in clinical trials of CKD progression, emphasizing the potential to combine dichotomous clinical events such as those typically used in CKD progression trials, with the continuous variable of GFR over time, while ranking all components according to clinical significance. We consider maraca plots to visualize overall treatment effects and the contributions of individual components, discuss the application of win odds in kidney HCE trials, and review general design considerations for clinical trials for CKD progression with kidney HCE as an efficacy end point.

Recent studies of thinking increasingly often rely on Embodied cognition, a popular cognitive psychology approach. This approach provides ample opportunity to test new hypotheses and ask new questions about the mechanisms of problem solving. This article aims to systematize the existing experimental paradigms for testing hypotheses of this kind, especially those that describe the functional effects of motor activity on problem solving. The review analyzes the main experimental paradigms in this area, namely, the influence of previous motor and/or oculomotor activity on problem solving (when, before solving the main problem, the solver performs certain movements that represent a fragment of a future solution or are semantically related to it), the influence of concurrent motor activity on the process and result of the solution (when performed in parallel with the solution movement tasks have a significant impact on the process and/or result of the thought process), the influence of interactivity effects on the solution of the problem (when, due to the direct interaction with the problem material, subjects reduce the load on working memory and/or increase the success of the solution), the influence of the number of gestures on the solution (when the number of gestures of a certain type during the description of the found solution is positively correlated with successful solutions), as well as the influence of different modes of motor planning on the process of problem solving (when only one of its types – on-line planning (planning movement in the course of its execution) – positively affects the success of the solution).

This paper presents the results of a study on the effectiveness of instructional video as a tool for forming the most comprehensive concept of insightful solutions for a solver; test results of the new scales for evaluating insightful solutions; and finally, the ratio of objective criteria of insightful solutions measured against the formal structure of the problem. We hypothesized that watching an instructional video with a visual image of an insightful solution prior to solving a problem might increase the accuracy of insightful solution detection when compared to a textual definition of insight. We expected that the new scales for assessing insightfulness of a solution will be more accurate than the scales set up by the classic Danek’s questionnaire. Evidence from this study shows the effectiveness of the instructional video in forming a comprehensive concept of an insightful solution. A visual and complex image of an insightful solution with a display of its various criteria can improve the accuracy of an insightful solution detection. This study demonstrated that the assessment with the new scales is more consistent with the formal structure of the problem than the assessment made with the Danek’s questionnaire. The procedural-resultative and cognitive-affective measurements of the new scales more accurately provide differentiate insightful and non-insightful solutions. At the same time, we have found that the objective criteria of an insightfulness of the solution generally correlate with the formal structure of a problem.

Along with the rapid growth of ICT, many schools offer ICT-based courses or programs. This study aimed to investigate the implementation of ICT-based elementary school in Indonesia focusing on the curriculum content, the strategies for integrating ICT curriculum into national curriculum, and the challenges they faced in running the school. Taking the case at SD ICT Al Abidin Surakarta, Indonesia, this study employed a descriptive qualitative method by conducting interview, observation, and document analysis. The result showed that the ICT curriculum included coding as the main skill by using several applications namely Code.org, Scratch Jr., Kodular, and Tinkercad.com. There were also several supporting skills taught namely rapid typing, hardware knowledge, basic Microsoft Office, graphic design, and ICT unplugged. They arranged the national curriculum content first and then added ICT content into daily learning activities. The challenges in running ICT school include the difficulty in convincing parents about the benefits of learning ICT skills, the absence of ICT school as a model in Indonesian context, and the limitedness of ICT teachers in the school. To solve it, they regularly conducted socialization to parents about ICT through seminar and social media campaign. The limitedness of ICT teachers was solved by providing regular training for class teachers to learn about ICT so they could teach ICT as well whenever needed. This study implies that ICT skills can be taught since early age and it can be integrated to formal education. For that purpose, it requires adequate learning facilities, skilled teachers, and mutual coordination with parents.

Character formation is a necessary provision for early childhood to uphold morals and control themselves from the adverse effects of today's technology when they grow up. In practice, media use for character introduction still looks monotonous in early childhood. Therefore, it is inevitable that the researchers' creative solutions develop interesting and emerging media. Pop-up storybooks are learning media compiled by combining text and 3D image illustrations to resemble the real ones. Developing a pop-up storybook also aims to help educators introduce characters to early childhood, especially peace-loving characters. This study, thus, conducted the five steps of the ADDIE model as its development process: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. This study employed an assessment instrument in the form of a media expert validation sheet, material, and character. In addition, media testing was conducted by Tahfidz Al-Quran Yamabi Kindergarten and Marga Laksana Kindergarten for children aged groups A and B. The analysis results highlighted that this book was feasible and valid. Furthermore, this book was feasible to be applied in instilling peace-loving characters in early childhood. For this reason, teachers are expected to periodically use pop-up storybooks and the like to instill other characters

The change in learning from what was originally face-to-face to distance learning and then switched to limited face-to-face learning made students need to adapt to all the provisions in the learning process. It then impacts the student's responsible character. This study, therefore, aims to discuss the process of forming the student responsibility character through the operant conditioning type in limited face-to-face learning activities. The research method used was qualitative with a narrative approach model. This study’s subjects were the principal, a fifth-grade homeroom teacher, and nine fifth-grade students of State Elementary School of 1 Barongan. Besides, data collection techniques employed were interviews, observation, and documentation. The data validity was tested by triangulation of sources and data collection techniques in the study. Data analysis techniques utilized were data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. This study’s results highlighted those changes in the learning system impacted the student responsibility character; thus, there is a need for the formation of the responsibility character. The formation of the responsibility character will be more substantial if given direct reinforcement (Operant Conditioning Theory). Operant conditioning consists of two main concepts: reinforcement and punishment. Reinforcement is divided into positive reinforcement (such as attention, approval, and appreciation) and negative reinforcement (e.g., reducing material and giving assignment pause). Meanwhile, punishments encompass reprimands, emphasis, and additional assignments.

Authors: Safitri Laila Nur , Jamaludin Ujang , Ngulwiyah Istinganatul
Published: October 2023

Character education includes more than teaching morality and ethics. In addition, by instilling good habits, it is expected that students can feel or experience (affective), develop cognitive awareness about right and wrong and get used to doing it (psychomotor). Instilling character education can be carried out by an educational institution. Among the educational institutions that organize character building is the Integrated Islamic Elementary School (SDIT), which combines general education and religious values. It is because character education lies not only in the material being taught but also in the habituation of positive attitudes and actions, one of which is through the habituation of religious activities. This study thus aims to determine (1) the implementation of character education through the habituation of religious activities and (2) the character of class IV A students at SDIT Al-Khairiyah. The research method employed in this research was qualitative research, i.e., understanding phenomena in the form of natural objects by collecting data by triangulation. The data collection techniques utilized were interviews, and non-participatory observation, i.e., the researchers were not directly involved in the activities that took place at school but only as observers using field notes and documentation to support the research. The results of this study revealed that (1) schools and teachers could implement character education by involving all students through the habituation program for religious activities in schools. (2) Meanwhile, the character values that arise in students include religion, discipline, and responsibility, which are expected to be applied in everyday life.

Thematic learning for elementary students is challenging since combining many subjects matter in one topic so the appropriate medium to deliver the subject should be taken into consideration. This study aims to develop animated videos in fifth grade at SDN Cijeruk and determine the video’s feasibility and student responses after using the video. The background of this research is that the teacher only used the lecture method and textbooks, making students feel bored and sleepy. In addition, teachers did not make good use of school facilities with laptops, InFocus, and speakers to apply digital learning media. Teachers also did not make use of their soft skills in using technology. This research method was RD (Research and Development) using the ADDIE model, consisting of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The results of the material expert validation from the two validators obtained an average percentage of 89.5%, on the criteria of "very feasible." The validation of linguists from the two validators attained an average percentage of 87% on the "very feasible" criterion. Furthermore, the average percentage of media expert validation from the two validators was 88.5% in the "very feasible" criteria. Hence, the overall average percentage of the material, language, and media validators was 88.3% in the "very feasible" criteria. For student responses, an average percentage of 97.475% was also obtained in the "very good" criteria. Based on the validation results and student responses, this animated video is feasible for school use.
