Introduction. The global education community is currently facing a learning crisis in the instructional process, as learning outcomes frequently fail to meet expectations due to insufficient engagement in classrooms. The promotion of student engagement in learning has become a significant issue of concern within the education sphere. Self-efficacy has been identified as a predictor of learning engagement; therefore, the study seeks to establish the empirical link between self-efficacy and learning engagement in the pedagogical process. Study participants and methods. A survey research design was utilized, involving 204 interns who were randomly selected from five vocational colleges in Wenzhou City, China. The collected data were subjected to Factor Analysis and correlation analysis for analysis purposes. Self-efficacy, emotional engagement, effort quality, psychological adjustment, and colleague interaction all had Cronbach's alpha values of 0.902, 0.918, 0.892, 0.849, and 0.847, respectively. Results. Emotional Engagement, Quality of Effort, Psychological Adjustment, Colleague Interaction, and Self-Efficacy had positive correlation coefficients of 0.455, 0.426, 0.376, and 0.4, respectively. These correlations were both significant at the 1% level. The regression model's R square indicates that self-efficacy accounted for 20.7%, 18.1%, 14.1% and 16% of the variance in each component of learning engagement: emotional involvement, quality of effort, psychological adjustment and colleague interaction respectively. Findings revealed a strong impact of selfefficacy on several facets of interns' learning engagement. Practical significance. Self-efficacy plays a crucial role in shaping students' learning engagement, both within traditional on-campus courses and during their internships. Enhancing the selfefficacy of vocational college interns is imperative to improve their learning experiences, both inside and outside the classroom.
FREE MOVEMENT OF PERSONS AS A VEHICLE FOR PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTHERN AFRICA: CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS FOR THE AFRICAN CONTINENTAL FREE TRADE AREA (AfCFTA)

Published: January 2024

Despite the widely recognised benefits of migration, there is currently a multiplicity of administrative challenges as well as high levelsof poverty which limit the number of potential voluntary legal migrants in Africa. Against this background, the paper assesses theSouthern African Development Community’s (SADC) migration governance regime and discusses how member states can enhancethe development prospects of their respective countries if they work towards the reduction and elimination of restrictions to movement of their populations within the framework the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Qualitative methods are used in data collection and analysis. The paper relies on secondary sources of data such as published book chapters, journal articles and occasional reports. The data is analysed thematically. The findings reveal that despite the existence of AfCFTA, SADC and its member states have not utilised this initiative to encourage the free movement of goods and people and ultimately promote sustainable development in the region. The major regional economies such as South Africa, Botswana and Namibia are reluctant to promote free movement of people and goods in Africa and SADC. Despite having genuine concerns about migration, it is recommended that major regional economies should put regional interests ahead of national interests if the free movement of goods and people and sustainable development is to be achieved at both the continental and regional level.
Lúcia Sá: É preciso visibilizar reais criadores das narrativas modernistas
Authors: Moraes Vanessa

Os modernistas de São Paulo no banco dos réus
Authors: Otero Alonso Wenceslau Junior
Published: January 2024

O desmonte de uma ideia positiva da Semana de 22 e dos modernistas de São Paulo não está sendo discutido dentro do campo estético, mas a partir de um contorno sociológico resulta em diminuí-los. Este texto é um breve comentário sobre uma tendência que se instaurou neste início de avaliações do primeiro grupo de autores modernistas brasileiros associados à Semana de Arte Moderna de 22 e sobre ela em si mesma. Avaliações motivadas, em parte, pelo centenário de realização do evento considerado, em ampla escala, como instaurador da estética modernista entre nós, e que tem servido, objetivamente, para reduzir a dimensão da Semana e de seus realizadores e não para rever o nosso passado artístico sob uma ótica mais verdadeira, como alguns pretendem.

Published: January 2024

Background: Adolescents are vulnerable to substance use, which profoundly affects their function, feelings and quality of life (QoL). This study aimed to assess the physical health, psychological, social relationships, and environmental domains of QoL among adolescents with substance use disorders (SUDs).
Methods: A cross-sectional study was done from October 2020 to September 2021 among 44 adolescents selected purposively from Central Drug Addiction Treatment Center (CDC), Dhaka and Ashokti Punorbashon Nibash (APON), Manikganj. Clinical diagnosis was assigned using The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) by psychiatrists. Then, they were interviewed with a questionnaire and a Bengali Version of the World Health Organization quality of life scale brief version (WHOQOL-BREF).
Results: Among the 44 adolescents with SUD, 18 (40.9%) rated their QoL as poor, 14 (31.8%) as very poor, 8 (18.2%) as neither poor nor good, and only 4 (9.1%) as good. Nearly half of them (47.7%) reported that they were dissatisfied, one third (29.5%) were very dissatisfied with their health. Among the four domains, the psychological domain (9.8±2.3) had the lowest mean score, followed by physical health (10.5±2.7), social relationships (10.6±2.6), and environmental domain (11.5±2.2) of the WHOQOL-BREF. Multiple drug users had poorer scores of their QoL than single drug user.
Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that all domains of QoL (physical, psychological, social, and environmental) are impaired in adolescents with SUDs.

Published: January 2024

Background: E-cadherin and Ki-67 expressions may provide real-time insights into the tumor's status and can be utilized as targeted therapeutics for lung cancer. We aimed to explore the expression of Ki-67 and E-cadherin in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and to identify their association with clinicopathological features.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, forty formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) NSCLC tissue blocks were identified from January to October 2022, based on hospital records from the Department of Pathology of National Institute of Diseases of the Chest and Hospital, Dhaka Medical College and Hospital. Samples were reevaluated for tissue quality, diagnosis, and exclusion-inclusion criteria. Finally, twenty-five samples were analyzed, and relevant clinicopathological data were collected from patients or authorized representatives. Ki-67 and E-cadherin expression were analyzed by immunohistochemistry and their relationships with each other.
Results: Ki-67 expression was positive in 40% of the NSCLC tissue, and E-cadherin was negative in 40% of the NSCLC tissue. No statistically significant relation was found between the expressions of Ki-67 and E-cadherin. No statistically significant association was found in Ki-67 and E-cadherin expressions with clinicopathological characteristics except E-cadherin with comorbidity.
Conclusion: Positive expression of Ki-67 and negative expression of E-cadherin was found in two-fifths of NSCLC tissues but not significant. Simultaneous estimated of Ki-67 and E-cadherin may contribute to the treatment planning and predict prognosis of the NSCLC patients.

Published: January 2024

Background: Unexplained musculoskeletal (MSK) symptoms sometimes pose diagnostic and management challenges and can lead to prolonged suffering and disability. Hypovitaminosis D could be a reason for such symptoms. This study aimed to determine the vitamin D level among patients with unexplained MSK symptoms.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a private clinic of Chattogram city, Bangladesh. A total of 110 unexplained MSK patients were enrolled conveniently. MSK symptoms were assessed by rheumatologist and serum vitamin D levels were measured according to the standard laboratory procedure. Descriptive and logistic regression analyses were done. Principal component analysis was performed for the reduction of MSK symptoms.
Results: The median (interquartile range) vitamin D level was 24.6 (20.0–29.0) ng/mL. Hypovitaminosis D (<30 ng/mL) was observed in 80.0% (95% CI: 71.3%–87.0%) respondents. Patients who had difficulty in climbing stairs, bone pain and muscle cramp had 79.8%, 84.9% and 79.8% hypovitaminosis D respectively. In logistic regression analysis, overweight defined by body mass index ≥25 kg/m2 (OR 5.5, 95% CI 1.7–17.4) was significantly associated with hypovitaminosis D.
Conclusions: Hypovitaminosis D was common in patients with unexplained MSK symptoms and overweight was significantly associated with it. Further studies in representative samples are necessary.

Published: January 2024

Despite its ecological and socio-economic contributions, the lowland dry forests of Ethiopia have been experiencing severe deforestation and degradation challenges. It is, therefore, crucial to assess the status of the dry forest resources to formulate an appropriate management strategy and its sustainable utilization. This study was formulated to determine spatial distribution, species composition, structure, and regeneration of the gum and resin species bearing dry forests in the Somali regional state of Ethiopia. The recent Sentinel-2A image was procured and used to classify the area, using a supervised Random Forest Algorithm, into different land covers and vegetation types. Inside the two key vegetation types (Acacia dominated woodland and Mixed woodland), forest inventory was conducted by establishing 30 m x 30 m size quadratic sample plots. The results revealed that the study area was divided into settlement (0.2%), bare land (6.0%), undifferentiated forest (0.5%), acacia woodland (36.3%), mixed woodland (54.1%) and scrubland (2.9%). Thirty-four woody species were identified and recorded with a Shannon diversity of 3.03. The population structure showed a lack of sufficient natural regeneration. It is, therefore, imperative to say that the forest containing the gum and resin-bearing species is not replacing itself. On the other hand, the forest has the potential to produce Oleo-gum resin in various kinds and amounts. Thus, implementing appropriate restoration measures is urgent to enhance natural regeneration. Moreover, formulating sustainable utilization while creating product market of gum and resins are important considerations for the future development of the sector.

New infestation records of two-spotted spider mites on potato tubers under storage conditions and response of genotypes at Kulumsa, Ethiopia
Authors: Tilahun Gizaw Wegayehu , Gure Tamirat Negash
Published: January 2024

The study sought to ascertain spider mite prevalence, infestation, and identification and to assess the response of potato genotypes. In 2022, this pest was only observed on some genotypes in December. In late January, an infestation, incidence, and severity increased from 10 to 13 genotypes on potato tuber stocks stored for irrigation experiments. Those genotypes were planted in irrigated fields, and the sprouted tuber losses ranged from 12.5% to 100% and up to 15.38% in the 2022 and 2023 records, respectively. Following this, spider mites, often known as two-spotted spider mites (TSSM) or Tetranychus urticae, were identified. This is the first time a potato sprout infestation has been recorded in Ethiopia. The two-spotted spider mites damaged the tubers quantitatively by sucking the moisture of sprouts up to the 5th grade, with 97 and >75% infestation levels, incidence, and severity, respectively. The pest grows very rapidly and hastens the drying of sprouted tuber leaves. Some genotypes were resistant to TSSM and recovered after the sprouts were infected and dried, which were treated with pesticides in 2023. The typical agricultural insecticides were ineffective in controlling the pest in the first year, and a Profenofos was applied in the second year. Thus, seed tubers are the main production limit unless appropriate research efforts are undertaken and management techniques are created.

Authors: Nirdev P.M. , Sabu Thomas K. , Wesley Daniel
Published: January 2024

Luprops tristis (Mupli beetle) is noted for the magnitude of nuisance caused by home invasion in millions prior to monsoon rains and subsequent dormancy inside residential buildings in rubber plantation belts of Kerala state of India, for the last three decades. Return of the new generation beetles into the same shelters used by parent generation strongly suggests the involvement of semiochemicals based at aggregation sites and identification of such semiochemicals may offer alternative management strategies for this nuisance species. In the present study, air borne volatiles from the aggregation site during different phases of dormancy were collected, identified, bioassayed for behavioural response and possible role of identified volatile compounds in the selection of aggregation sites and maintenance of aggregation has been discussed.

Published: January 2024

As a result of the high value of destructive perceptions of Indonesian government services and the high value of perceptions of corruption in Indonesia, the purpose of this study was to analyse artificial intelligence in Indonesian government governance with the last four-year edition, namely 2018-2022. The research data source reviewed 57 news stories from Indonesian online media. This research data analysis uses the Qualitative Data Software Analysis approach with the NVivo 12 Plus tool and the NCapture feature. The results of the data analysis show that artificial intelligence in Indonesia is seen from four aspects: accountability, transparency, the rule of law, and participation. The results showed that reform and bureaucratic reform from the accountability aspect had the highest percentage, namely 54.55%. Human development and culture from the aspect of participation has a percentage of 33.33%. Ministry of communication and informatics, from law supremacy, has a percentage of 53.85%, and the ministry of health, from the aspect of transparency, has a 21.74%. This study’s findings represent that artificial intelligence systems have efficient and environmentally friendly selling points. However, this research sees that the artificial intelligence system is fundamental and has not been optimised by Indonesian government agencies’ entire scope of work. Even so, it can be seen that the Indonesian government continues to strive for artificial intelligence in the scope of government work so that it is used continuously until people’s satisfaction with the performance of the government system is achieved.

ABSTRACTObjective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of profitability (ROA) on stock prices, considering capital structure (DER) as an intervening variable and company size as a control variable.Methodology: The sample in this study is a company incorporated in LQ45 on the Indonesia Stock Exchange which has complete data for the period 2018-2022. The data analysis method used is Path Analysis using the SPSS 20.0 program.Finding: The first, second, third, and fourth (H) hypotheses were accepted because the t statistic value was greater than t table, and the p value was smaller than alpha 0.05.Conclusion: The results indicate that ROA has a significant positive effect on stock prices. However, ROA has no significant effect on capital structure (DER), while DER has a significant negative effect on stock price. These results indicate that DER is unable to mediate the relationship between ROA and stock price. Firm size can serve as a control variable in the effect of profitability on stock price. This study shows important findings, that signaling theory can be confirmed where the profitability ratio is a positive signal for investors. However, it does not support the packing order theory because the capital structure is not influenced by profitability, so the capital structure does not mediate profitability on stock price.

Science and Engineering Undergraduates’ Attitudes and Perceptions of English-Mediated Instruction – A Case Study in A Chongqing International Cooperative Program
Authors: Lan Huihui , Tan Wee Hoe
Published: January 2024

This research sought to investigate the perspective of science and engineering students at Chongqing universities towards English-medium instruction (EMI) delivered by foreign instructors. The participants were 156 undergraduate students who studied at a Sino-Foreign Cooperative Education Programme in Chongqing University of Technology (CQUT). In this study, data was collected through interviews and questionnaires. The research indicates that most students have a high regard for English-medium instruction and have found that taking Science and Engineering classes instructed by foreign teachers in English has been beneficial in terms of enhancing their English language skills and developing their understanding of the subject. Nevertheless, some students with limited English proficiency encountered difficulties understanding specialized knowledge. They found that full English instruction from foreign teachers did not improve their English language skills. Therefore, this study suggested that China’s Sino-foreign Cooperation Programmes should consider the divergences in students’ English proficiency and vocational objectives and offer differentiated instruction, mentoring, and professional English language training.
Life’s potentiality as multispecies gift
Authors: Aldeia J
Published: January 2024

Contemporary political ecological problems reduce possibilities for future human and non-human life. These problems are the result of modern capitalist humans’ attempt to break away from multispecies bonds and turn non-humans into resources to be appropriated. These bonds are crucial for the continued generation of life, which can only result from intergenerational and interspecies shared time, effort, and energy. By expanding the works of Mauss’ intellectual heirs and Levinas towards multispecies interactions, this gift of life can be better understood. Life received by newborn humans entangles them in a multispecies gift cycle that obligates them to reciprocate the gift of life’s potentiality. This requires acknowledging humans’ ethical responsibilities for all others, human and non-human, currently alive or potentially born in the future. In turn, this responsibility can only unfold as political ecologically sustainable actions that keep multispecies communities healthy enough to keep giving life’s potentiality to future generations.

Hangi Garp? Adımlar Dergisinde Otarşi, Hümanizm ve Irkçılık Tartışmaları (Mayıs 1943 – Nisan 1944)
Authors: Bölükbaşı Mustafa
Published: January 2024

Bu makale, erken Cumhuriyet dönemindeki Batılılaşma tartışmalarını, Behice Boran’ın öncülüğünde bir grup sol görüşlü entelektüel tarafından çıkarılan Adımlar dergisindeki hümanizm, otarşi ve ırkçılık eleştirileri özelinde incelemektedir. Türkçe literatürde sol akımlar üzerine yapılan araştırmalarda Adımlar dergisi genellikle ya gözden kaçmış ya da dolaylı olarak ve sınırlı bir şekilde ele alınmıştır. Bu makale, sosyo-politik gelişmelerin ve ideolojik çatışmanın etkisiyle dönemin entelektüelleri arasında önemli tartışmalara yol açan belirli temalara yoğunlaşarak Adımlar dergisinin Batı tasavvurunu ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Adımlar dergisi makale, sanat-edebiyat eleştirisi, roman-hikâye-şiir ve güncel yazı-eleştiri gibi türlerde ve köy, otarşi, ırkçılık, hümanizm, iktisat, toplum-kültür, eğitim, şehircilik gibi konularda toplam 105 yazı yayınlamıştır. Bu çalışmada yapılan tasnif sonucunda hümanizm, otarşi ve ırkçılık, dergide Batılılaşma tartışmasının yürütüldüğü üç ana tema olarak belirlenmiş ve bu üç temayla ilişkili toplam on sekiz yazı nitel içerik analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Dergi, anti-faşist, halkçı ve realist bir yaklaşım benimseyen, ilerleme fikrine bağlı, tarihsel materyalist yöntem uygulayan bir grup entelektüelin 1940’lı yıllardaki buluşma noktası olmuştur. II. Dünya Savaşı’nın ve Milli Şef iktidarının etkisi altında dönemin sosyo-politik, sosyo-ekonomik ve sosyo-kültürel problemlerini tartışan Adımlar, “Hangi Garp?” sorusuna ilerici, halkçı, özgür ve müreffeh olan yanıtını vermektedir

Published: January 2024

Aims: Hypertension is a condition of increased blood pressure that causes the heart to work harder to circulate blood throughout the body. Patients with hypertension more frequently complain of headaches. Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is a non-pharmacological treatment to overcome hypertension, headache symptoms, and maintain a deep relaxation state.
Objective: The study aimed to determine PMR's effects on blood pressure and headache in hypertensive patients.
Methods: This study utilized a quasi-experimental design with one group pretest and posttest design. A sample of 30 respondents with hypertension and headaches was obtained through convenience sampling. Data were then analyzed using paired t-test.
Results: The results showed a decrease in blood pressure and headache intensity after administrated PMR. The number of respondents with stage 2 hypertension decreased from nine (30%) in the pretest to zero respondents (0%) in the posttest. There was a significant effect of giving PMR to clients with increased blood pressure accompanied by headaches (p-value of 0.000).
Conclusion: PMR is a significant measure that can be used to reduce blood pressure and headache. It can be done independently from ten to 15 minutes daily for a more effective outcome. Therefore, it is suggested that clients with increased blood pressure can do the PMR exercise independently every day for 10-15 minutes to reduce blood pressure and headache intensity.

Aims: The slowness in the elderly activities is caused by a decrease in function of the musculoskeletal system, characterized by a decrease or increase in fat free mass which can cause a decrease in muscle mass, resulting in motor disorders. It is believed that providing range of motion exercises such as mirror therapy can stimulate the nerves in the motor cortex, thus providing signals to the brain to stimulate movement.
Objective: This research is to identify the effect of mirror therapy on motor impairment in the elderly.
Method: This type of research used quasi-experiment with two group pretest-posttest design approach and analysis method used Generalized Linear Model (GLM). The sample was 84 respondents, consisting of 42 intervention group samples and 42 control group samples. Sampling techniques were generally used as samples according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The intervention was given for 4 weeks and assessed every week.
Results: There was an effect of mirror therapy intervention on improving motor impairment in the elderly (p-value = 0.000). Conclusion: mirror therapy is a non-pharmacological therapy that can be used to improve motor impairment in the elderly.
