Authors: Yana Annisa Ulfa , Handayanto Supriyono Koes , Taufiq Ahmad
Published: February 2025

The pedagogical approach known as the flipped classroom has gained significant popularity in both higher education and high school settings in recent years. This article aims to provide a comprehensive explanation regarding the comparison of flipped classroom academic results in physics education before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. The method used here was bibliometric-based literacy analysis using Publish or Perish (PoP) software and the VOSviewer application, which is focused on the keyword "Flipped classroom in physics" during the last three years before the Covid-19 pandemic (2017 - 2019) and the last three years during the Covid-19 pandemic (2020 – 2022). According to the findings of bibliometric analysis and systematic reviews of articles, the following flipped classroom academic outcomes in physics education were most frequently studied before the Covid-19 pandemic: 1) academic achievement, 2) motivation, 3) students' engagement, 4) students' performance, 5) knowledge acquisition, 6) interest in learning, 7) problem-solving skills, 8) self-efficacy, 9) conceptual understanding, and 10) attitude. Meanwhile, there are eight categories of outcomes in 2020-2021: 1) motivation, 2) academic achievement, 3) student experience, 4) student engagement, 5) conceptual understanding, 6) self-efficacy, 7) process skills, and 8) critical thinking. This study concludes that the academic outcome of flipped classroom research in physics education before the pandemic was more than during the Covid-19 pandemic, and in 6 past years, most research has focused on the effect of flipped classrooms on academic achievement, motivation, conceptual understanding, and self-efficacy compared to other academic outcomes such as scientific reasoning or creative thinking.

Evaluating Accufix Head and Neck Shoulder Immobilization for Head and Neck Radiation Therapy
Authors: Chan Serena , Ostapiak Orest , VanSantvoort Tracy , Chow Thomas
Published: February 2025

The field of radiation therapy has seen significant advancements in treatment precision, such as proton therapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy, often involving various immobilization devices for patient positioning and motion monitoring. However, the effectiveness of shoulder immobilization systems, particularly in the neck and shoulder regions, requires further investigation due to conflicting results and limited studies. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of the Accufix™ Head and Neck Device shoulder cantilever depression system in reducing interfractional and intrafractional movement in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. This device positions the head, neck, and shoulders, lowering the shoulders to precisely target head and neck tumors with radiation beams. Patient data was collected for 3 larynx cancer patients and 1 tongue cancer patient undergoing volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) radiation therapy at the Juravinski Cancer Centre. Patients were immobilized using a head and neck thermoplastic mask and an Accufix™ Head and Neck device. AlignRT, an optical surface monitoring system (OSMS), was utilized to track real-time body surface movements during treatment in 3 translation directions (AP: anterior-posterior, SI: superior-inferior, and LR: left-right) and 3 rotations (pitch, roll, and yaw). Interfractional shoulder positioning discrepancies were evaluated by conducting cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan and planning computed tomography (CT) scan image registration in two anatomical locations: the target volume (T-IM) and the mid-clavicles (C-IM). Intrafractional motion across all patients remained low for both translational and rotational shifts, with 6.42% exceeding a 5mm margin and 0.02% exceeding a 3º margin, respectively. Differences between target TV-IM and C-IM remained within +/- 3mm of shifts for the majority of fractions. Little consistency was found between AlignRT data and C-IM data, with shifts ranging from 10mm to -5mm, attributed to the surface geometry and shape of the region of interest (ROI) we tracked. While shoulder immobilization using the Accufix™ system was found to be sufficient, AlignRT's accuracy in reproducing patient shoulder positioning was limited in our study. Factors influencing surface-guided systems, such as ROI size and location, need careful evaluation. Further studies on SGRT use compared to immobilization devices are needed to validate these findings and explore potential improvements.

REFLECTIONS ON M-POLYNOMIAL AND RELATED TOPOLOGICAL INDICES OF NANOSTAR DENDRIMERS
Authors: Akhter Shehnaz , Raza Zahid
Published: February 2025

This commentary addresses flaws discovered in Munir et al.’s recent paper [VI] on the M-Polynomial and associated topological descriptors of dendrimers. Our examination reveals inconsistencies in numerous critical aspects of their work. First, the figures representing the nanostar dendrimer formations must be more accurate. This means that the pictures used to depict the production of these molecules need to be revised. Second, flaws exist within the formulae used for the computations. Finally, based on incorrect formulae and figures, the claimed computational findings must be corrected. We suggest a complete correction approach to ensure the correctness of Munir et al.’s [VI] findings on nanostar dendrimers. It includes supplying corrected figures that accurately portray the nanostar dendrimer structures and removing the inconsistencies in the previous images. In addition, we will use revised notations to ensure that all parameters used in computations are explicitly and consistently described to eliminate ambiguities. Furthermore, we will provide the Accurate Formula for the Symmetric Division Index, which is critical for achieving precise results. Finally, all topological indices will be recalculated using these modifications with the revised figures and formulae to represent the genuine values. These corrections are necessary to give the validity of the results and pave the path for future research in this field.

Authors: Sri Hidayat , Waluyo  , Bidari H. Buditami
Published: February 2025

Turtles are an endangered biota around the world; one type is the Olive Ridley Turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea). Turtle extinction is caused by a decrease in the number of turtles laying eggs in their native habitat each year, hence turtle conservation is required in order to protect turtle populations. Turtle conservation in Indonesia is not yet deemed optimal; therefore, study on the effectiveness of turtle conservation, such as that of Olive Ridley Turtles at the Abadi Turtle Conservation, Trisik Beach, Kulonprogo, Yogyakarta, is required. This research was conducted in December 2022. This study uses observation, a survey, a questionnaire, and SPSS Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) to handle the data. This study has numerous components, including social, economic, ecological, environmental, legal, and institutional, as well as infrastructure dimensions. These parameters are analyzed to determine stress and sustainability values. After MDS processing, the findings showed that the ecological dimension had the minimum stress value, which is very good, at 0.42%, and the sustainability value was 99.9%. So, from an ecological standpoint, conservation is very beneficial and can be implemented to ensure the effectiveness of Olive Ridley Turtle conservation

Authors: Latisha Najwa , Syahda Mauldiyani  , Retno Hariarti  , Irwan Triadi
Published: February 2025

The marine pollution caused by the Montara oil spill in Australian waters has created serious challenges to the marine environment in Indonesian waters. This conflict has not been declared terminated until now due to the failure of Australia to exercise its responsibility under the provisions of UNCLOS 1982. The study aims to analyze the firm and concrete efforts that Indonesia can make to hold Australia accountable for the impact of such pollution, as well as the forms of accountability that Australia is supposed to take against Indonesia. This research uses normative legal methods, or library research, through legislative approaches and the study of the rule of law. The findings show that Indonesia can take a diplomatic approach, bring legal claims through international courts, and firmly acknowledge the challenges and economic pressures of withdrawing Australia's accountability. The responsibility of the Australian side should also be insisted on by Indonesia by acting in accordance with the provisions of international law, where there is compensation equal to the territory of Indonesia and the injured parties. Through diplomatic analysis, regional cooperation, and legal approaches, the study contributes to an understanding of the complexity of managing the impact of marine pollution at the international level and the importance of ensuring full accountability in order to preserve the global marine environment.
SOME LEXICAL ASPECTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN FRENCH AND ROMANIAN. LUDIC CREATION
Authors:   Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, North University Centre of Baia Mare, Romania, Feher Oana Benedicta
Published: February 2025

Abstract

The past century witnessed a dynamic process in the lexicon of languages, in terms of both borrowings and newly created words. Since the beginning of 2020, the phenomenon of the Covid-19 pandemic has provoked a significant increase in the number of words in all languages, thus bringing many changes on social and psychological levels, interfering both in the life of each citizen and in the daily vocabulary.
In its first part, this paper intends to make a brief presentation of the French and Romanian dictionaries and minidictionaries in which the pandemic vocabulary plays an important role, including the most popular ones, such as Le Petit Robert and Le Petit Larousse illustré (2022), the new edition of DOOM – The Orthographic, Orthoepic and Morphology Dictionary of the Romanian Language, published by the end of 2021, but also online dictionaries such as Lexiques et vocabulaire published by the Canadian Government in April 2021, Mini-dicționar de pandemie COVID-19 – A Pandemic Minidictionary by Ghenadie Râbaciov, etc.
The second part of the paper concentrates on some atypical dictionaries in order to underline their importance in a specific type of perception of the phenomenon called the Covid-19 pandemic. These dictionaries integrate the ludic creation of words, manifested in two different ways: one involving humour, the other simply playing with internalised definitions of certain words from the newly created vocabulary. The diversity of examples allows a reflection on word formation, with the conclusion that the most frequent processes are affixation, compounding, and the creation of portmanteau words. This last process is particularly well represented by Olivier Auroy’s Dicorona (2020), while with the Mic dicționar literar de pandemie – Small literary dictionary of the pandemic (2020) created by the Romanian journal Scena9, we have interesting definitions of words belonging to this newly created vocabulary.

THE LANGUAGE OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS FROM ENGLISH TO ROMANIAN: JAMES FINN GARNER’S POLITICALLY CORRECT BEDTIME STORIES
Authors:   1 Decembrie 1918 University of Alba Iulia, Romania, Ursa Andra-Iulia
Published: February 2025

Abstract

The trend of political correctness, which originated in the United States and spread through academia and mass media, has now taken over public policies in the European Union. Similar to what is happening in some Western nations, the norms of speech are being reshaped to conform to political correctness. This transformation starts with the use of a new language to alter the appearance of reality. Certain words, such as mother, father, madam, miss, husband, wife, and others that highlight the distinct roles of men and women in society and family, will be prohibited. Meanwhile, other words like gender instead of sex, partner instead of spouse, and person with needs will become more common. These changes aim to create a discrimination-free reality, where people cultivate and enforce various politically correct norms. Over time, political correctness has garnered both supporters and detractors, and has also captured the attention of artists who use it as inspiration for their work, such as James Finn Garner, an American satirist and writer residing in Chicago. He has gained recognition for his work, Politically Correct Bedtime Stories (1994), remaining a bestseller for 65 weeks on the New York Times Best Sellers list. This article aims to provide a thorough analysis and comparison of the original text and Felicia Mardale’s 2005 Romanian translation, with a focus on understanding how meaning is constructed in both versions as a parody of political correctness language. Our corpus showcases a selection of words related to gender inclusivity, gender-neutral language, circumlocutionary phrases, and unusual derivations. Using Chesterman’s (1997) taxonomy of semantic and syntactic translation strategies, we will analyse the way of construction, meaning, and effect on the readers of this language, which represents an effort to minimise, if not completely eliminate, offensive expressions. To identify any areas that may have been lost in translation, or any inaccuracies or misunderstandings that occurred during the translation, we provide a back translation of the passages selected for analysis. The purpose of this study is to explore how satire shapes language to accommodate the sensitivities of marginalised groups by eliminating offensive elements. We will also examine how this process is reflected in the Romanian language, which belongs to a cultural space that is still in the early stages of finding suitable terminology for certain groups or people.

Keywords: Political correctness; Translation strategies; Fairy tales; Parody of language; Linguistic innovations.

Exploring Student Insights on ChatGPT as a Resource for Learning English and Its Influence on Learner Independence
Authors: Zakwani Malik Al , P.M. Binu
Published: February 2025

ChatGPT has enormous capabilities in generating human-like text responses. Moreover, many higher education students use it to complete their language-related tasks. Despite numerous studies about the effectiveness of ChatGPT in English language education, there remains a notable gap in understanding how EFL students perceive this generative chatbot and its implications for self-regulated learning. This research addresses this gap by examining EFL students’ perceptions of ChatGPT as a tool for English language learning and its perceived impact on learner autonomy. A mixed methods approach was used for the current study by administering a survey questionnaire among EFL students (N = 190) and conducting semi-structured interviews with selected students (N = 18) at University X. The data collected from the questionnaire were analysed using SPSS, while the qualitative data from semi-structured interviews were presented using coding and thematic analysis. The findings of this study reveal that students have positive perceptions of using ChatGPT to enhance English language learning and learner autonomy. Most participants appreciated the flexibility and convenience of the tool. The findings of this study have implications for educators and researchers in making informed decisions about revisiting instructional approaches, designing language curricula, and planning professional development activities.
Linguistic Strategies and Conversation Style of Men and Women in Transactional Conversation at Tourism Objects
Authors: Kasni Ni Wayan , Budiarta I Wayan
Published: February 2025

This research aims to investigate the linguistic strategies and conversation style used by men and women in transactional tourism objects and to analyze the contribution of men’s and women’s language to tourism sustainability. This research employs a qualitative approach. The study employs content analysis proposed by Krippendorff to systematically examine recorded conversations between male and female participants. Coates’ theory guides the analysis to interpret male language features, such as minimal responses and direct commands, and Lakoff’s theory explores female speech characteristics, including politeness and hedges. The results show that men predominantly use direct language and minimal responses to assert control and transaction efficiency. At the same time, women employ more polite forms and indirect language to foster rapport and maintain a courteous interaction. Both male and female sellers use questions and compliments strategically, with men focusing on gathering information for clear transactions and women fostering connection. These varied communication styles enhance the tourist experience, encouraging repeat visits and promoting positive word-of-mouth, which is crucial for sustaining tourism destinations in the long term. The study concludes that these gendered communication styles significantly impact tourism sustainability by influencing customer satisfaction and repeat business. Men’s directness supports efficient transactions, while women’s politeness enhances customer relations, contributing to a positive tourism experience and long-term sustainability.

Published: February 2025

This study examines the most frequently used parts of speech and grammatical forms in the texts of the Sub-corpora of the National Corpus of the Kazakh Language (qazcorpora.kz). The frequency of word forms based on the 13-million-word usages in the 2023 corpus database was collected and analyzed both manually and using the functional setting of the corpus software. The study provided key insights into Kazakh journalistic texts’ frequency distribution, grammatical variability, and comparative patterns. The results indicated that: (1) conjunction ‘žäne’ [and], demonstrative pronoun ‘bul’ [this], auxiliary verb ‘dep’ [no translation], noun ‘Kazakh’ [Kazakh], modal verb ‘žoq’ [not], adjective ‘aq’ [white], adverb ‘köp’ [many/much], numeral ‘eki’ [two] showed the highest frequency indicators emphasizing their functional and stylistic roles in text construction in their word class. (2) functional words were the most frequently used part of speech. (3) conjunction ‘žäne’ [and], postposition ‘üšın’ [for] and particle ‘ɣana’ [only] possessed the highest frequency indicators among functional words. This corpus-based research highlights the alignment of Kazakh frequency patterns with global linguistic trends, such as Zipf’s law, while also showcasing unique features attributed to the language’s agglutinative nature.

Sakhalin Ainu Inferentials as Indicators of Relative Tense
Authors: Dal Corso Elia
Published: February 2025

This paper investigates inferential evidentiality in Sakhalin Ainu with a specific focus on the pragmatic use of inferential forms to bring out the tense reference of the predicate that is under the scope of evidentiality. It will be argued that what derives either a present or past tense reference for the scope predicate is the interplay of the telicity and aspectual values of the scope predicate itself, and the inner semantics of the inferential form used. Together with these two semantic variables, another pivotal element involved in the derivation of tense reference is the very cognitive process that is entailed by acquisition of information through inference. As it is chiefly concerned with tense and aspect, this study contributes to the description of the tense-aspect-mood-evidentiality (TAME) system of Sakhalin Ainu and Ainu more generally, which has traditionally been described as a ‘tenseless’ language.
A Typology of the Deictic Day Name System in Manchuric
Authors: Hölzl Andreas
Published: February 2025

Deictic day names like English yesterday, today, and tomorrow are a potentially universal but neglected field in cross-linguistic research. This study presents a comprehensive panchronic analysis of the deictic day name system in the Manchuric branch of the Tungusic family. Based on a small sample of languages, it establishes several typological dimensions of variation within the domain that serve as a background for the analysis. It demonstrates that Manchuric languages exhibit an unusual asymmetric system. The study also shows that Manchuric differs markedly from other Tungusic languages, which is explained by language contact.
Linguistic Landscapes in Sapporo – ‘When’ is Ainu Situated?
Authors: Santalahti Saana , Ijas Silja
Published: February 2025

The Indigenous Ainu language is absent from many contemporary language use domains and public spaces in Japan, but has gained visibility in commercial contexts and tourism. Based on a qualitative linguistic landscape (LL) analysis focusing on temporality, this paper examines when the Ainu language is situated in tourism spaces and its implications for the contemporary use and revitalisation of Ainu. The analysis shows that, while Ainu is present in the LL, its use is mostly ‘traditional’ and decorative, lacking modern instrumental use. However, there are examples of creative language use and neologisms, suggesting adaptation to modern needs.
Kajian Stabilitas Konstruksi Culvert Bridge dalam Mitigasi Debit Banjir Kala Ulang 50 Tahun di Kawasan Industri Gas Kabupaten Barito Utara
Authors: Maini Miskar , Saputra Cahyo Agung
Published: February 2025

Culvert bridge merupakan infrastruktur utama dalam sistem drainase kawasan industri yang berfungsi untuk mengalirkan debit banjir sekaligus menjaga konektivitas jalan. Stabilitas konstruksi menjadi faktor krusial, terutama di kawasan industri gas Kabupaten Barito Utara yang memiliki risiko banjir ekstrem. Penelitian ini mengevaluasi faktor keamanan culvert bridge dari aspek hidraulik dan stabilitas konstruksi menggunakan analisis hidraulik serta geoteknik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa untuk mengalirkan debit rancangan dengan kala ulang 50 tahun (Q50) sebesar 13,78 m³/s, diperlukan culvert berdiameter 2,967 m. Dengan tambahan freeboard 25%, diameter desain meningkat menjadi 3,709 m. Namun, material yang tersedia adalah dua unit pipa baja berdiameter 3 m. Perhitungan hidraulik menunjukkan bahwa satu culvert berdiameter 3 m mampu mengalirkan debit hingga 15,047 m³/s, sehingga dua unit culvert dapat menampung total 30,093 m³/s, jauh melebihi debit rancangan. Sementara itu, hasil analisis stabilitas menunjukkan Safety factor (SF) terhadap guling sebesar 5,98 dan terhadap geser sebesar 4,473, keduanya melampaui batas aman yang direkomendasikan. Selain itu, daya dukung tanah dasar juga mencukupi, dengan tegangan maksimum 528,475 kN/m², masih berada jauh di bawah tegangan izin sebesar 868,8582 kN/m².

The purpose of this research was to examine the impact of eTwinning projects on teachers' critical thinking dispositions based on teachers' perspectives regarding various variables. Designed as a sequential explanatory mixed-methods research, this study employed both survey and case study models. The sample consisted of 340 teachers working in public and private schools in Malatya during the 2021-2022 academic year. Among these teachers 158 were selected using criterion sampling method, i.e. participation in eTwinning projects as the key criterion, while the remaining 182 teachers were chosen through simple random sampling. Additionally, 15 participants who participated in eTwinning projects were interviewed to explore their views regarding the contribution of these projects to critical thinking. Data were collected using the Marmara Critical Thinking Dispositions Scale and semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed a statistically significant difference in critical thinking disposition scores between teachers who participated in eTwinning projects and those who did not. Teachers participated to eTwinning projects demonstrated high levels of critical thinking disposition. Regarding the contribution of eTwinning projects to critical thinking, participants highlighted that these projects “enable original thinking while avoiding dogmatism", “enable being result-oriented, and to make perceive, analyse and evaluate accurately" and "help students acquire scientific research skills". These results indicate that eTwinning projects make a significant contribution to the development of teachers' critical thinking skills.

Penataan jadwal perkuliahan di perguruan tinggi melibatkan pembagian waktu, ketersediaan dosen, dan ketersediaan ruang kelas. Salah satu algoritma yang dapat digunakan untuk membuat jadwal yang baik tanpa adanya konflik adalah algoritma Welch Powell. Pada Program Studi Matematika FMIPA USU terdapat 61 mata kuliah untuk semester ganjil dan 44 mata kuliah untuk semester genap tahun 2023/2024. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pewarnaan graf untuk mengatur jadwal perkuliahan agar tidak terjadi konflik antara pembagian waktu, ketersediaan dosen, dan ketersediaan ruang kelas. Mata kuliah direpresentasikan dalam bentuk grafik dan selanjutnya grafik tersebut diwarnai dengan algoritma Welch-Powell yang menghasilkan 12 bilangan kromatik atau 12 warna sehingga terdapat 12 sesi optimum yang dibutuhkan untuk penjadwalan perkuliahan pada semester ganjil dan genap. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, warna yang sama dapat dijadwalkan pada hari dan waktu yang sama dengan kelas yang berbeda.

Spear shrimp (Parapenaeopsis hardwickii) is one of the shrimps with the Penaidae family, morphometric measurements are carried out in order to see the things that affect the shape of the species. This study aimed to provide information about the morphometric study of Spear shrimp (Parapenaeopsis hardwickii) caught in the waters of Samboja, Kutai Kartanegara. This research was conducted in Samboja Waters, Kutai Kartanegara, in November-Desember 2022. The sample used was 250 Spear shrimp (Parapenaeopsis hardwickii). Morphometric studies on Spear shrimp (Parapenaeopsis hardwickii) used analysis with the analysis of covariant (ANCOVA) test to see the 18 morphometric covariates that affect the total length (PTO). Based on the results of the analysis of the ANOVA univariate test, it was found that 18 morphometrics had a significant value < 0.05 which means H1 was accepted, that all morphometrics affect PTO. Furthermore, the ANCOVA analysis was carried out, the results were 9 morphometrics which had sig <0.05, namely, head length (PK), length of the fourth internode (PRE), length of the sixth internode (PRN), headless length (PTK), length of the third lower segment (PTB), length of the fourth lower segment (PEB), length of the fifth lower segment (PLB), length of the sixth lower segment (PNB) and length of the tail (PE). Based on the results of the ANCOVA test. the most significant morphometric that influenced PTO was the 9 morphometry.

Samboja Kuala has a vast sea and abundant natural resources. East Kalimantan Province. The increase in capture fisheries certainly has a positive effect on fishermen, but it is necessary to know that an increase is always followed to carry out more intensive exploitation. Overfishing conditions allow for the catch of a number of stocks that exceed the amount needed in a waters. Various fishing gear used. The fishing gear used by fishermen to catch shrimp includes trawls. So far there are no specific catches that refer to the cat shrimp species (M. sculptilis) in Samboja Kuala waters, so studies or research are needed to provide information about the cat shrimp species population in these waters. The purpose of this study was to determine the estimated biomass and distribution of cat shrimp caught during the day in the Samboja Kuala sea and abundant natural resources, Kutai Kartanegara Regency. This research was carried out in November-December 2023, by conducting identification in the laboratory and taking samples of shrimp operating in Samboja Kuala Waters. The average stock density of cat shrimp (M. sculptilis) obtained during the day was 17.98 kg/km² and an estimated value of 442.28 kg with an area surveyed of 30.75 km².

The purpose of this study was to determine the pattern of patron-client relationships with fishermen and collectors in Jantur Baru Village and to find out the problems encountered in patron-client relationships with fishermen and collectors in Jantur Baru Village. The pattern of the patron-client relationship in Jantur Baru Village is a general pattern of reciprocity in which the employment relationship agreement made by the patron and the client does not set a time limit for the return of capital provided by the patron, in this case the patron to the client, in this case fishermen. The problems encountered in the patron-client relationship in Jantur Baru Village are found in two perspectives. The problem from the point of view of collectors (patrons) is that there are fishermen who secretly sell their catch to other collectors and the problem from the point of view of fishermen (clients) is that the purchase price set by the collectors is deemed inappropriate by fishermen.
