Cooperative learning is a pedagogical practice widely endorsed in the literature to enhance students’ creative writing skills. This methodology promotes the development of originality, fosters openness to new ideas, provides opportunities for interaction and tossing ideas around, and subsequently contributes to boosting creative textual production. This study aims to assess the impact of incorporating cooperative learning strategies on developing creative writing skills and enhancing self-efficacy among 6th-grade students. Additionally, this study reflects on using cooperative learning methods in the classroom setting, namely the roundtable and the cooperative graffiti. The participants were 34 students from two classes of the 6th grade of the 2nd cycle of basic school: an experimental group, where cooperative learning applies, and a control group, conducted using a traditional lecture. The study used a quasi-experimental design, incorporating pre-test and post-test. The non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to assess within-group changes in pre-test and post-test scores for both the experimental and control groups. The findings from both classes suggest that cooperative learning is more effective than a traditional lecture in building creative writing skills and self-efficacy in Portuguese (first language) and maths.

This study looks into how flipped classrooms affect college students with different kinds of learning styles, attitudes, and academic performance. The purpose of the study is to provide empirical support for the effectiveness of the flipped classroom model in accommodating a variety of learning styles. Survey questionnaires and midterm grades of students were used as instruments for data analysis on 85 participants in a state university in the Philippines. Statistical tools such as frequency counts, percentages, mean, standard deviation, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Kendall's tau-b were employed for a comprehensive analysis. The data analysis revealed that a majority of respondents identified as auditory learners, expressing agreement with the flipped classroom model and demonstrating excellent performance within this learning environment. Significantly, the positive attitude and excellent performance exhibited no significant differences across various learning styles. Clear evidence emerged indicating that a positive attitude toward the flipped classroom correlated with exceptional academic achievements. Consequently, the study implies that the flipped classroom proves effective in catering to diverse learning styles while maintaining students' excellent academic performance. Furthermore, it could be concluded that their positive attitude in a flipped classroom model have boosted their academic performance in general.

Published: August 2024

In an English as Foreign Language context like Saudi Arabia, university business students face a difficult challenge to speak in English and to understand what is spoken. The students don’t have the opportunity in their daily life to listen to native speakers in or outside the classroom, but they are expected to listen to the text book audios in the classes spoken by the native speakers of English. Therefore, the difficulty rises in Listening and Speaking Skills Course as the students are not exposed to the British accent. In order to solve this problem, the researcher used YouTube videos spoken by the native speakers in the experimental group, and the control group just had the normal practice of listening to only the textbook audios. The researcher adopted quasi-experimental design with pretest and posttest in both control and experimental groups and analyzed the performance of the students using SPSS and Excel. The study proved that the results of experimental group improved significantly in their listening comprehension skills and performed better in their presentations than the control group. In the English as Foreign Language contexts, where business students fail to have exposure to the native accent of English, YouTube videos can make a great contribution in improving their listening and speaking skills.

Use of Technology and Instructional Strategies in English Language Teaching among the Faculty of Public Higher Education Institutions in Sulu
Authors: Jupakkal Mujahida
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this study was to examine how faculty members at public higher education institutions (HEIs) in Sulu utilized different instructional methods and educational technologies during the 2023–2024 academic year. This study also analyzed the perceptions of the faculty members about the use of technology in English language teachings. Quota sampling was carried out to sample the faculty members from four public HEIs in Sulu, Philippines. Quantitative analysis was carried out to analyze the perceptions on technology use and implementation of instructional strategies in teaching the English language. Findings indicated that the faculty members in Sulu, Philippines were somehow challenged in the integration of technology in their classrooms—most especially male faculty members. It was also evident that the faculty members were highly positive about the usefulness, effort, support, interest, benefits, and acceptance of technology-based English language teaching. They sometimes implement strategies that reflect mechanical/traditional approaches (e.g., outlining, visuals, summarizing) while also considering unconventional/communicative instructional strategies (e.g., cognitive linkages, questioning, experiments, role-playing). The faculty members believed that there could be an opportunity of integrating technology in mechanical/traditional and communicative/unconventional English language teaching. This could be an opportunity to further enhance educational practices by more fully integrating technology into both traditional and innovative teaching methods. Professional development and support mechanisms may be required to assist faculty members, particularly those who are less comfortable with technology, in efficiently incorporating these technologies into their teaching. By addressing these difficulties and leveraging on staff favorable attitudes, institutions can create a more interactive and efficient learning environment that reflects the needs of English language learners in the digital age.
Online Peer-Review Technique Using Facebook A Pedagogical Study in EFL Students’ Paragraph Writing Skills
Authors: Alrasheedi Saleh Amelh
Published: August 2024

This study aims to investigate the impact of the online peer-review technique (OPRT) on Facebook on enhancing the paragraph writing skills of English major students at Majmaah University, Saudi Arabia. Further, the study delves into the emotional and psychological dimensions of the learning experience, shedding light on students’ anxiety and emotional state regarding online peer-review feedback. Using pre- and post-tests, the research design mimics an experiment, examining the impact of the online peer-review method on the paragraph writing skills of 24 EFL students in the sample. According to the results, there was a clear upward shift in the students’ writing proficiency after implementation of the OPRT, moving from a developing phase to a level of commendable competency in the domain. While the OPRT demonstrated a reduction in students’ anxiety levels and an improvement in their emotional state towards the peer- review process, these changes were not statistically significant, indicating that emotional adaptability to novel teaching techniques might require more prolonged exposure and practice in the technique. Nevertheless, the observed trend is promising. The research undeniably underscores the potential benefits of integrating online peer-review techniques, like OPRT, into the educational framework. Such techniques not only improve learners’ writing proficiency but also promote critical thinking, foster a collaborative spirit, and potentially lead to a positive emotional and psychological shift in students’ learning experiences.

Published: August 2024

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In December 2019, cases of pneumonia with unknown cause were first reported in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Confirmed cases and death rates due to COVID-19 in the world are still increasing. One part of the body that is affected and causes clinical symptoms in COVID-19 is the skin. This review aims to describe and analyze cutaneous manifestation in COVID-19. This study method is a review of the literature sourced from Google Scholar and PubMed. The literature was selected using English language criteria, using the clinical study method in the form of case reports. Meanwhile, literature review, systematic literature, and meta-analysis were excluded. Journal searches were carried out using the keywords "skin" OR "cutaneous" AND "manifestation" AND "COVID-19" OR "coronavirus". The skin manifestations of COVID-19 have been observed. The most common clinical symptoms of COVID-19 were fever (47%), dry or productive cough (25%), sore throat (16%), generalized sore throat (6%), and pain (5%). However, currently there has been a shift in the approach to diagnosing COVID-19 because it can cause symptoms in other organ systems, one of which is skin manifestations. There are early reports of skin involvement (erythematous rash, extensive urticaria, and chickenpox-like vesicles) occurring in 20% of patients in the course of the COVID-19 disease. In addition, several case reports provide descriptions of petechiae and chilblains. Based on the cases that have been reported, patients with COVID-19 who have manifestations on the skin can give a picture of maculopapular eruptions, vesicular eruptions, petechiae, and also childblains.

Authors: Agustina Rakhmawati , Puji Ati Endang
Published: August 2024

Parental eating habits have a positive effect on children's nutritional health. Numerous studies have examined children's eating patterns; however, few studies have examined the association between parental eating patterns based on the dimensions of demandingness and responsiveness in children and the nutritional status of 6- to 24-month-old children. This study aimed to examine the relationship between parental dietary habits and the nutritional status of children aged 6â€“24 months in Manado City. The research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design in the working area of the Ranomut Health Center, which included six neighborhoods from three villages: Paal 2, Ranomut, and Perkamil. This village was chosen because it has the highest concentration of children under the age of five in the Ranomut Health Center's service area. In this study, 96 samples were selected using the method of purposive sampling based on the criteria established by the researcher. The instrument used was the validated and reliable Feeding Practices and Structure Questionnaire for Infants, followed by data analysis using the Spearman rank test. The respondents' parental eating styles were authoritarian (31.3%), permissive (27.1%), democratic (20%), and negligent (20%). The nutritional status of children under the age of five was 26% malnourished and 74% well-nourished. The Spearman rank test resulted in a p-value of 0.674. This can be attributed to other factors, such as family composition and age-inappropriate food portions.

Authors: Safarini Bekti , Intisari Dewi
Published: August 2024

Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) is the clinical correlation between antiphospholipid antibodies and hypercoagulability syndrome. The prevalence of APS in the general population is undetermined. APS disease carries a notable risk of vascular thrombosis. CT scan is the preferred imaging method for assessing thrombosis, although the timing of image acquisition should be considered. The case report detailed the discovery of many intrathoracic thromboses on a CT scan of a patient diagnosed with the uncommon condition APS. Case study: A 34-year-old woman was hospitalized due to dyspnea, cough, and a 3 kg weight loss over a three-month period. She has a background in Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). The test results showed abnormalities in protein C, protein S, and high D-dimer levels. The CT scan revealed numerous intrathoracic thrombi. Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an immunological condition that elevates the likelihood of blood clot formation, resulting in thrombosis inside the arteries and veins. The approximate occurrence rate of APS is five occurrences per 100,000 individuals annually. Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) leads to the formation of blood clots in the legs, a condition referred to as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This patient had a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and many blood clots within the chest cavity. A CT scan revealed persistent blood clots in the main pulmonary artery and the right and left pulmonary arteries. Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) can lead to the formation of blood clots in both arteries and veins. CT scan is the preferred method for evaluating thrombosis, and numerous phases are required to examine all blood arteries.

Authors: Setyawati Ika
Published: August 2024

Hypertension is a progression of prehypertension due to the accumulation of several non-genetic risk factors (environmental factors) that occur together (common underlying risk factors) or genetic factors or the interaction between the two. Risk factors for hypertension that can be controlled include high sodium intake, lack of physical activity, obesity, smoking, and alcohol consumption, while risk factors that cannot be controlled include increasing age, gender, and a family or genetic history of hypertension. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of Body Mass Index (BMI) and sodium intake in adults with a family history of hypertension in Yogyakarta. This study used a case-control design. Subjects studied were healthy individuals with a family history of hypertension as case subjects (n = 42), and control subjects were individuals without a family history of hypertension (n = 41). Body mass index (BMI) was measured with anthropometry, and sodium intake was measured using a quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Independent Sample T-test and Chi-Square test analyzed the data with a significance level of p < 0.05. The average BMI and sodium intake are higher in the case group than in the control group. There was no significant association between BMI and sodium intake and risk factors of hypertension (p>0.05). Body mass index and sodium intake in the case and control group were not significant differences (p>0.05). The BMI values and sodium intake levels were higher in the group of individuals with a family history of hypertension compared to those without a family history of hypertension, but not statistically significant.

Adolescent drug misuse self-efficacy pertains to an individual's ideas regarding their capacity and potential to conquer drug addiction and prevent relapse. The objective of the study was to examine the self-efficacy of male adolescent convicts at Child Development Institute (LPKA) Palembang City in their ability to cease drug use. This study employed a quantitative methodology utilizing a cross-sectional research design. The sample comprised 111 adolescents aged 15-24 who engaged in drug addiction at (LPKA) Palembang City. The independent variables include age, education, knowledge, emotional state, and social modeling, whereas the dependent variable is self-efficacy. The analysis employed univariate, bivariate, and multivariate methods. The findings indicate that 45.9% of the respondents had high self-efficacy, while 54.1% had low self-efficacy. Additionally, there is a significant correlation between the age of the respondents (p=0.004, PR=3.360, 95% CI (1.523-7.413)), their knowledge (p=0.000, PR=8.017, 95%CI (2.976-21.597)), emotional state (p=0.004, PR=3.334, 95%CI (1.515-7.339)), and social modeling (p=0.011, PR =3.333, 95% CI (1.377-8.070)) with their self-efficacy. However, the education level variable (p=0.700, PR=0.790) showed no correlation with self-efficacy. Knowledge emerged as the primary factor influencing self-efficacy (p=0.000, PR=7.153, 95% CI (2.375-21.549)) after accounting for age, social modelling and emotional state. The formation of self-efficacy to cease drug abuse is influenced by a deep understanding of the perils associated with drugs Intensive education from health workers together with LPKA administrators is needed to improve the self-efficacy of adolescent boys who abuse drugs so that they can stop using drugs.

Drainase adalah salah satu infrastruktur yang bertindak untuk mengurangi air yang berlebih,baik itu permukaan ataupun air bawah permukaan terutama untuk mengatasi bencana banjir. Sistem ini diperlukan evaluasi untuk mengetahui kapasitas penampang dengan menganalisa dihitung curah hujan dengan debit banjir. Metode yang dipilih untuk menghitung debit di jalan Bahagia By Pass Kelurahan Sudirejo II Kecamatan Medan Kota ini yaitu dengan metode Rasional. Dari perhitungan analisis yang dilakukan  tidak semua saluran dapat menampung debit rencana karena nilai debitnya tidak melebihi dari nilai debit banjir rencana. Debit banjir rencana yang didapat adalah 0,703 /det sementara nilai debit saluran eksisting didapat dari S1 = 0,167 m3/det  (tidak aman), S2 = 0,202 m3/det  (tidak aman), S3 = 0,115 m3/det (tidak aman), T1 = 1,847 m3/det  (aman), dapat dilihat bahwa debit eksisting tidak melebihi dari debit banjir rencana, sehingga dilakukan perencanaan ulang debit eskstingnya sehingga didapat S1 = 1,727 m3/det  (aman), S2 = 1,727 m3/det  (aman), S3 = 1,727 m3/det  (aman), T1 = 1,847 m3/det  (aman), setelah dilakukan perencanaan ulang maka nilai debit eksisting dapat melebihi dari debit banjir rencana sehingga dapat dikatakan bahwa saluran itu aman untuk banjir.Drainase adalah salah satu infrastruktur yang bertindak untuk mengurangi air yang berlebih,baik itu permukaan ataupun air bawah permukaan terutama untuk mengatasi bencana banjir.
