"TRANSLATABILITY OF IDIOMS – GETTING THE BEST OF BOTH TEXTS"
Authors:   University of Craiova, ANTONIE Iulia-Cristina
Published: March 2023

The paper focuses on the use of idiomatic language as epitomizing cultural stereotypes and the problem of fidelity in literary translation. It is common knowledge that idioms are specific to every culture and may lack direct equivalents in the target language. The paper enlarges upon two main problems associated with the translatability of idioms: how to comprehend the connotation of idioms in the source language, and how to reconstruct conceptually and structurally these idioms in the target language, sometimes changing referents while conveying the same meaning and the writer’s stylistic effect.
"LA PREMIÈRE RELANCE DE LA TA – UNE APPROCHE « INDIRECTE »"
Authors:   Transilvania University, Brașov, GHIȚĂ Andreea
Published: March 2023

Cet article se propose de dresser les traits de la période de renaissance des recherches en traduction automatique (TA) après le rapport ALPAC (i.e. Automatic Language Processing Advisory Committee) de 1966 qui recommande leur arrêt. En fait, ce regain d’intérêt commence à se faire ressentir grâce à l’avènement de la traduction indirecte par interlingua ainsi que par transfert. L’approche par interlangue, comme son nom l’indique, joue sur une représentation syntaxique dans une langue intermédiaire et elle bénéficiera des avancées en intelligence artificielle et linguistique computationnelle (ex. : KBMT – Knowledge-based Machine Translation). Quant au mécanisme d’exploitation par transfert, il faut noter que celui-ci engage plusieurs étapes et que Systran est l’un des projets d’envergure qui vont s’en servir. Ces avancées auront un effet positif sur la poursuite des travaux dans le domaine de la TA à partir des années 70-80 et jusqu’à présent.
Discipline learning outcomes: Design resource and quality assurance mechanism
Authors: Jones Susan , Johnson Elizabeth , Kelder Jo-Anne
Published: March 2023

The use of learning outcome statements underpins contemporary university course design, yet their impact in practice is unclear. Threshold learning outcomes (TLOs) for Australian bachelor degrees in science were published in the Science Standards Statement in 2011. This paper reports how and where the Science TLOs have been adopted by science faculties across Australian universities as a case study in the broad-scale application of discipline learning outcomes in generalist degrees. The analysis draws on four data sources: a desktop survey of published course learning outcomes for science degrees; an online survey of learning and teaching leaders; semi-structured interviews with a sub-set of those leaders; and a citation analysis. The results show that the majority of Australian science faculties have embraced the Science TLOs both as a reference point for quality assurance and as the basis of curriculum design or redevelopment. The TLOs are perceived as a trusted external reference point, endorsed by the Australian Council of Deans of Science, and aligned to national legislative requirements. Some challenges remain, including staff resistance to change and a perception of curriculum reform as a ‘top-down’ process. Positional leaders clearly have a pivotal role as active brokers to lead positive change. However, in terms of national standards and quality assurance, we conclude that disciplinary learning outcome statements such as the Science TLOs build a bridge between intent and practice in curriculum reform.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to find out the form of violation in the transportation and trade of subsidized fuel without a business license in Pohuwato Regency. To determine law enforcement against the perpetrators of criminal acts of transportation and sale of subsidized fuel in Pohuwato District, the method in this study uses empirical legal research method. The results of this study are a form of violation in the transportation and trade of subsidized fuel without a business license in Pohuwato Regency, namely: There are people who queue for subsidized fuel many times at gas stations, there are several vehicles that use modified tanks. so that it can accommodate more subsidized fuel, there are people who abuse business licenses, there are trucks that are queuing up, there are still retail traders. Law enforcement against the perpetrators of the crime of transporting and selling subsidized fuel in Pohuwato Regency, namely in 2017 there was one case that was tried. In 2019 there were 3 cases handled by the Pohuwato Police The suggestion in this study is that petrol stations should be more selective in selling subsidized fuel to consumers so as not to be misused. The local government should have collaborated with related parties to be more sensitive in handling retail fuel traders on the roadside. Don't just look at the problem from the economic aspect which is used as a livelihood for the seller but must also be seen from the aspect of security
A Critical Lens on Cognitively Guided Instruction: Perspectives from Mathematics Teacher Educators of Color
Authors: Maldonado Rodríguez Luz A. , Jessup Naomi , Myers Marrielle , Louie Nicole , Chao Theodore
Published: March 2023

Elementary mathematics teacher education often draws on research-based frameworks that center children as mathematical thinkers, grounding teaching in children’s mathematical strategies and ideas and as a means to attend to equity in mathematics teaching and learning. In this conceptual article, a group of critical mathematics teacher educators of color reflect on the boundaries of Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) as a research-based mathematical instructional framework advancing equity through a sociopolitical perspective of mathematics instruction connected to race, power, and identity. We specifically discuss CGI along the dominant and critical approaches to equity outlined by Gutiérrez’s (2007, 2009) framework. We present strategies used to extend our work with CGI and call for the field to continue critical conversations of examining mathematical instructional frameworks as we center equity and criticality.

O financiamento da educação de jovens e adultos no estado do Pará – desafios históricos
Authors: Aquino Perla Sofia Andrade de , Rolim Rosana Maria Gemaque
Published: March 2023

Este artigo versa sobre o financiamento da educação de jovens e adultos na rede estadual de ensino do Pará, inquirindo se a inclusão das matrículas de EJA no Fundeb representou avanços no acesso à escola pelos jovens e adultos que não tiveram esse direito assegurado na idade adequada. São discutidas as contradições e possibilidades de avanços na EJA, a partir de uma análise da política educacional local, considerando ações específicas à EJA e o montante de recursos disponibilizado para financiar essa modalidade de ensino. A investigação orientou-se teoricamente em parâmetros do Materialismo Histórico-dialético, dentre os quais as categorias de totalidade, mediação e contradição. Empiricamente recorreu-se às metas, aos objetivos e estratégias para a EJA, estabelecidos nos Planos Estaduais de Educação para cotejá-los às estatísticas educacionais, referentes às matrículas, ao quantitativo de escolas, de turmas e de docentes com atuação em EJA e às receitas, despesas e ao gasto-aluno ano. Constatou-se que, apesar das metas 8, 9 e 10 do Plano Estadual de Educação do Pará (2015) estabelecerem aumento da escolaridade da população de 18 a 29 anos, a redução dos indicadores educacionais foram acentuadas, no período de 2007 a 2019. Concluiu-se que, embora as matrículas de Educação de Jovens e Adultos tenham sido incorporadas a partir de 2007 ao Fundeb, para fins de redistribuição dos recursos, houve retrocesso na garantia do direito de acesso à educação por essa população. Assim, a retomada do processo de avanços desse direito aos jovens e adultos, dentre muitos outros desafios, passa pelo desenvolvimento de políticas agressivas de financiamento para essa modalidade de ensino.

O Sexting como marcador de identidade de grupo em redes sociais: aspectos desenvolvimentais e interface pragmático-interacional
Authors: Souza Fabricio de , Valadares Flávio Biasutti
Published: March 2023

Este artigo discute a prática do sexting por adolescentes em redes sociais com o objetivo de avaliar o processo de interação tecnologicamente mediada e algumas de suas implicações para o estabelecimento de laços sociais e para a construção de marcadores de identidade. Foram utilizados nessa discussão princípios teóricos da Psicologia Evolucionista do Desenvolvimento e da Pragmática Interacional. Os dados apresentados foram coletados junto a um grupo de estudantes de duas escolas da cidade de Salvador/BA, por meio de um questionário semiaberto construído para obter informações sobre a concepção que esses estudantes apresentavam sobre o sexting, a rede de interação na qual esse comportamento ocorria e as formas de lidar com os riscos inerentes a esse comportamento. Os resultados demonstram que falar sobre sexualidade ainda é um tabu. Isso é evidenciado tanto na esquiva dos adolescentes em assumir a prática do sexting, especialmente frente aos seus pais, quanto nas respostas aparentemente contraditórias registradas no questionário. É fundamental que mais pesquisas sobre sexting sejam desenvolvidas para compreender uma vivência consciente da sexualidade tecnologicamente mediada para que seus benefícios sejam aproveitados e minimizem-se seus riscos.

Exploring Final Project Trends Utilizing Nuclear Knowledge Taxonomy
Authors: Santosa Faizhal Arif
Published: March 2023

The National Nuclear Energy Agency of Indonesia (BATAN) taxonomy is a nuclear competence field organized into six categories. The Polytechnic Institute of Nuclear Technology, as an institution of nuclear education, faces a challenge in organizing student publications according to the fields in the BATAN taxonomy, especially in the library. The goal of this research is to determine the most efficient automatic document classification model using text mining to categorize student final project documents in Indonesian and monitor the development of the nuclear field in each category. The kNN algorithm is used to classify documents and identify the best model by comparing Cosine Similarity, Correlation Similarity, and Dice Similarity, along with vector creation binary term occurrence and TF-IDF. A total of 99 documents labeled as reference data were obtained from the BATAN repository, and 536 unlabeled final project documents were prepared for prediction. In this study, several text mining approaches such as stem, stop words filter, n-grams, and filter by length were utilized. The number of k is 4, with Cosine-binary being the best model with an accuracy value of 97 percent, and kNN works optimally when working with binary term occurrence in Indonesian language documents when compared to TF-IDF. Engineering of Nuclear Devices and Facilities is the most popular field among students, while Management is the least preferred. However, Isotopes and Radiation are the most prominent fields in Nuclear Technochemistry. Text mining can assist librarians in grouping documents based on specific criteria. There is also the possibility of observing the evolution of each existing category based on the increase of documents and the application of similar methods in various circumstances. Because of the curriculum and courses given, the growth of each discipline of nuclear science in the study program is different and varied.

Published: March 2023

Materials related to Japanese military “comfort women” in Korea are managed by several institutions. Each digital archive has their own metadata schema and management policies. So far, a standard or a common guideline for describing digital records is not formalized.

We propose a Japanese military “comfort women” knowledge graph to semantically interlink the digital records from distributed digital archives. To build a Japanese military “comfort women” knowledge graph, digital records and descriptive metadata were collected from existing digital archives. A list of metadata was defined by analyzing commonly used properties and a knowledge model designed by reusing standard vocabularies. Knowledge was constructed by interlinking the collected records, external data sources, and enriching data. The knowledge graph was evaluated using the FAIR data maturity model.

Authors: GÜR Gözde , ERDEM Dilek
Published: March 2023

Class III malocclusions are usually related to growth and mandibular posture. The mixed dentition stage of development may provide a useful opportunity to embark upon orthodontic therapy to correct a Class III malocclusion. Chin cap is a useful appliance in growingpatients that exhibit mandibular prognathis. This case report aim to describe an early treatment of a Class III malocclusion by using a chincup. This case report presents a 9 year-old girl with a functional Class III malocclusion and anterior crossbite. She has treated by using chincup for 10 months. The occlusion was elevated with a maxillary appliance, and the maxilla was freed from the restriction of the mandible. In this way, the maxilla was able to continue its development and the growth of the mandible was limited by chincup. Anterior cross-bite was corrected and a positive overjet were achieved. Facial profile was improved. While posterior rotation of the mandible was expected with the effect of the chincup, SN-GoGn angle didn’t change in this case. At the end of treatment, a class I relationship and a smooth soft tissue profile were obtained.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of plastic impression transfer copings on the dimensional accuracy of close tray implant impressions. Methods: A master model was constructed using autopolymerizing acrylic resin. Five parallel holes were drilled for implant analogs. Custom impression trays were made with autopolymerizing polymethyl methacrylate resin. The study consisted of 2 groups (n=5): (group 1) Impression was obtained with using plastic impression transfer coping (group 2) Impression was obtained without using plastic impression transfer coping. Vinylpolysiloxane impression material was used for both groups. After the impression were obtained, casts were made by type IV dental stone. Casts were scanned with the lab-type scanner and transferred to the measurement program. Measurements were made from a specific reference corner for each analog to ensure standardization. Data were saved as millimeters and pairwise comparisons were made with Welch's t-test analysis. Results: The effect of plastic caps was evaluated by applying the t-test to each distance. For all distances, the distortion seen in the measurements taken without the cap is higher than the measurements taken with the cap, but no significant differences were found (p>0.05). Conclusions: In the anterior-posterior distances, the distortions were found compression type, in the right-left distances the distortions were found as expansion-type. There is a dimensional change in the measurements taken without a cap, but no clinically significant differences were found.
General Consideration of Post Systems
Authors: KOCACIKLI Mustafa
Published: March 2023

More often than not pulpless teeth remain relatively intact after conservative endodontic treatment. Although it hasn't been shown that endodontically treated teeth are more brittle than healthy ones, pulpless teeth are known to crack during mastication. As a result of this known phenomenon, dental professionals have been looking for strategies to prevent pulpless teeth from breaking. Restoration and reinforcement of pulpless teeth is a crucial preventative step in endodontic therapy. A post is cemented into the root canal to reinforce a healthy endodontically treated tooth. The post is supposed to reinforce the tooth and keep it from breaking. A widely used technique for repairing teeth that have undergone endodontic treatment is post and cores. Retention applied onto the root thorough final restoration using the post and core restoration as a substructure. Therefore, post placement in the root is crucial. In order to ensure retention for a fixed restoration, endodontically treated teeth are frequently treated with posts and cores. Teeth that had gone through endodontic treatment often suffer from severe coronal damage. In order to ensure retention for full or partial coverage restoration, these teeth may require a coronal substructure or core for retention of a full or partial bonding restoration. Generally, primary retention feature of a core is an intraradicular post. Posts and cores are routinely used for endodontical teeth restoration. This article provides a review presentation about utilization of post systems on the pulpless tooth.
An efficient transfer learning based cross model classification (TLBCM) technique for the prediction of breast cancer
Authors: Jakkaladiki Sudha Prathyusha , Maly Filip
Published: March 2023

Breast cancer has been the most life-threatening disease in women in the last few decades. The high mortality rate among women is due to breast cancer because of less awareness and a minimum number of medical facilities to detect the disease in the early stages. In the recent era, the situation has changed with the help of many technological advancements and medical equipment to observe breast cancer development. The machine learning technique supports vector machines (SVM), logistic regression, and random forests have been used to analyze the images of cancer cells on different data sets. Although the particular technique has performed better on the smaller data set, accuracy still needs to catch up in most of the data, which needs to be fairer to apply in the real-time medical environment. In the proposed research, state-of-the-art deep learning techniques, such as transfer learning, based cross model classification (TLBCM), convolution neural network (CNN) and transfer learning, residual network (ResNet), and Densenet proposed for efficient prediction of breast cancer with the minimized error rating. The convolution neural network and transfer learning are the most prominent techniques for predicting the main features in the data set. The sensitive data is protected using a cyber-physical system (CPS) while using the images virtually over the network. CPS act as a virtual connection between human and networks. While the data is transferred in the network, it must monitor using CPS. The ResNet changes the data on many layers without compromising the minimum error rate. The DenseNet conciliates the problem of vanishing gradient issues. The experiment is carried out on the data sets Breast Cancer Wisconsin (Diagnostic) and Breast Cancer Histopathological Dataset (BreakHis). The convolution neural network and the transfer learning have achieved a validation accuracy of 98.3%. The results of these proposed methods show the highest classification rate between the benign and the malignant data. The proposed method improves the efficiency and speed of classification, which is more convenient for discovering breast cancer in earlier stages than the previously proposed methodologies.
Interaction and psychological characteristics of art teaching based on Openpose and Long Short-Term Memory network
Authors: Qi Chen
Published: March 2023

As living standards improve, people’s demand for appreciation and learning of art is growing gradually. Unlike the traditional learning model, art teaching requires a specific understanding of learners’ psychology and controlling what they have learned so that they can create new ideas. This article combines the current deep learning technology with heart rate to complete the action recognition of art dance teaching. The video data processing and recognition are conducted through the Openpose network and graph convolution network. The heart rate data recognition is completed through the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network. The optimal recognition model is established through the data fusion of the two decision levels through the adaptive weight analysis method. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the classification fusion model is better than that of the single-mode recognition method, which is improved from 85.0% to 97.5%. The proposed method can evaluate the heart rate while ensuring high accuracy recognition. The proposed research can help analyze dance teaching and provide a new idea for future combined research on teaching interaction.
Allometry of bud dynamic pattern and linkage between bud traits and ecological stoichiometry of Nitraria tangutorum under fertilizer addition
Authors: Li Qinghe , Duan Na , Liu Chenggong , Li Huiqing , Xu Lan
Published: March 2023

Affected by the pressure and constraints of available resources, plant growth and development, as well as plant life history strategies, usually vary with environmental conditions. Plant buds play a crucial role in the life history of woody plants. Nitraria tangutorum is a common dominant woody species in desertified areas of northern China and its growth is critical to the desert ecosystem. Revealing the allometry of N. tangutorum aboveground bud fates and the linkage between bud traits and plant nutrient contents and stoichiometric ratios can be useful in understanding plant adaptation strategy. We applied seven nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer addition treatments to natural N. tangutorum ramets in Ulan Buh Desert in three consecutive years. We surveyed three types of aboveground buds (dormant buds, vegetative buds, and reproductive buds) in each N. tangutorum ramet, then measured the plant carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) contents and ratios during three consecutive years. We specified that reserve growth potential (RGP), vegetative growth intensity (VGI) and sexual reproduction effort (SRE) are the three indices of bud dynamic pattern. The results showed that the bud dynamic pattern of N. tangutorum ramets differed significantly among different fertilizer addition treatments and sampling years. The allometry of RGP, VGI, and SRE was obvious, showing size dependence. The allometric growth relationship fluctuated among the sampling years. The linkage between bud traits and plant stoichiometric characteristics of N. tangutorum ramets showed close correlation with plant P content, C:P and N:P ratios, no significant correlation with plant C content, N content and C:N ratio. These results contribute to an improved understanding of the adaptive strategies of woody plants growing in desert ecosystems and provide insights for adoption of effective measures to restore and conserve plant communities in arid and semi-arid regions.
Identifying effects of genetic obesity exposure on leukocyte telomere length using Mendelian randomization
Authors: Wan Bangbei , Ma Ning , Lv Cai
Published: March 2023

Background

Observational studies have shown that obesity is closely associated with leukocyte telomere length (LTL). However, the causal relationship between obesity and LTL remains unclear. This study investigated the causal relationship between obesity and LTL through the Mendelian randomization approach.

Materials and Methods

The genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data of several studies on obesity-related traits with a sample size of more than 600,000 individuals were extracted from the UK Biobank cohort. The summary-level data of LTL-related GWAS (45 6,717 individuals) was obtained from the IEU Open GWAS database. An inverse-variance-weighted (IVW) algorithm was utilized as the primary MR analysis method. Sensitivity analyses were conducted via MR-Egger regression, IVW regression, leave-one-out test, MR-pleiotropy residual sum, and outlier methods.

Results

High body mass index was correlated with a short LTL, and the odds ratio (OR) was 0.957 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.942–0.973, p = 1.17E−07). The six body fat indexes (whole body fat mass, right leg fat mass, left leg fat mass, right arm fat mass, left arm fat mass, and trunk fat mass) were consistently inversely associated with LTL. Multiple statistical sensitive analysis approaches showed that the adverse effect of obesity on LTL was steady and dependable.

Conclusion

The current study provided robust evidence supporting the causal assumption that genetically caused obesity is negatively associated with LTL. The findings may facilitate the formulation of persistent strategies for maintaining LTL.

Published: March 2023

Greater adjutant stork (Leptoptilos dubios) is the largest and rarest stork belonging to the order Ciconiformes. It is one of the threatened bird species of the world and widely considered to be endangered. The present investigation was carried out to study the nest site selection, nest tree and other breeding behaviours of Greater adjutant stork on the flood plains of Kosi river in district Bhagalpur, Bihar, India in three breeding seasons from 2019 to 2021. Total 12 breeding colonies of Greater adjutant stork were recorded in 2019, 10 in 2020 and 2021 respectively. During these periods, 277 chicks were reared in 123 nests in 2019, 282 chicks in 126 nests in 2020 and 236 chicks in 105 nests in 2021 respectively. Most of the nest trees were located on the road side in and around the villages. Storks mainly selected Kadamb, Peepal, Pakar, Gamhar and Semel trees for the nest building but the Kadamb was the most preffered tree species. Nesting materials used by the GAS were mainly sticks, twigs and fresh leaves of Pigeon wood, Jalebia, Dhaincha, Jamun, Peepal, Gulmohar, Kadamb, and Semal tree. Nests were large spherical structure made of plant sticks mostly on the top of the tree and on the tip of large horizontal branches. Both the sexes alternately shared incubation and protection of the chicks after hatching. The parent birds also collected green leaves from nearby trees for cushioning the nest . The breeding season of Greater adjutant stork was recorded between September to April in Bihar. The incubation period was ranging between 37 to 39 days. Two to three chicks on one nest were common. The adult and juveniles finally vacated the nest before third week of April.

Water is a precious natural resource for sustaining life, agriculture and environment. The dependability on groundwater has reached high in all time in recent decades due to reasons such as unreliable supplies from surface water due to vagaries of monsoon, increase in demand for domestic, agricultural and other purposes. Karnataka is largely dependent on groundwater to meet industrial, municipal, domestic and irrigation needs. So, Rainwater harvesting (RWH) forms an important component for development and management of water resources for domestic, agricultural, municipal and industrial uses.  Management of scanty rain fall by rain water harvesting, Augmentation of depleting natural resources of water (deeper ground water table) and Management of poor-quality ground water and scope for conjunctive/domestic use is need of the hour. With increase in withdrawal of ground water, ground water (GW) table is declining at a rapid pace with an urgent need to recharge GW in addition to dilute poor quality ground water. Double ring technique of Groundwater Recharge consists of filtering the water at different layers using gradation materials generally the pebbles of different size with synthetic material wrapped around the casing pipe. By harvesting rain water and recharging into point recharge soaking infiltration gallery established at Irrigation Water Management Research Centre, (IWMRC) Belavatagi  Tq: Navalagund has shown encouraging results as far as water quality, discharge and water table are concerned. The results of assessment of influence of ground water recharge through rainwater harvesting on ground water yield (lps), quality (dS/m) and fluctuations (feet bgl) during the year 2020, have shown that around 3.35 lakhs liters of water could be collected from rain water harvesting during the year 2020. Also, from point recharge through 7 recharge events (rain fall events from July to October 2020), it was observed that the considerable rise in the water table from more than 100 feet below ground level to around 22 feet below ground level, drastic reduction in groundwater salinity i.e. electrical conductivity (EC) of ground water from more than 10 dS/m to an average (EC) of 1.32  dS/m and tube well yield has significantly increased from 0.4 lps to around 2.4 lps. Therefore, Artificial recharge techniques through rainwater harvesting can be a better strategic approach to combat the emerging problems of water scarcity especially over exploitation of ground water and its quality deterioration.
Bridging the Gap to Communicate Abstract Concept of Physics for Visual Learners
Authors: Tedjokoesoemo Purnama Esa Dora
Published: March 2023

In vitruvius principles, a successful applied design should comply with 3 basic needs. Those are venusity (aesthetic), utilities (function), and firmities (structure). As the bones of the building, structures are often unseen, covered, and considered last by most interior design students. Columns and beams are often taken as a nuisance in creating the perfect canvas of blank space ready to design. Thus, it creates a fragmentation within the building development process to create a well performing building. Conventional approach to deliver the understanding and basics of physics in construction classes had struggled long before google image and pinterest came to flood the students with visual information in decorative manners. The presence of covid 19 then forced the construction teachers to think of appropriate teaching methods to keep increasing interest in learning on this less desirable subject. This study was conducted in a quantitative experimental method in 4 consecutive years of construction and statics class. This study aimed to review different delivery approaches and students' responses resembled through their performance in exam question assessment. The results of the study show that the students get better understanding by carrying out flip class methods because of the flexibility and discussion chances it has offered. However, the presented material should be equipped with graphics to help students to visualize.

Authors: Hartono Yustisi Calista , N.B. Rebecca Milka , Setyawan Paulus Benny
Published: March 2023

Samarinda is the capital of East Kalimantan that is currently growing rapidly. However, the city of Samarinda still has a complex flood problem. This flood phenomenon occurs not only when it is the rainy season but also when it rains for 1-2 hours. This condition interferes with the activities of the community and the government in Samarinda in carrying out daily activities because it can immerse settlements and housing, damage public facilities, and cause casualties. Despite the frequent occurrence and inconvenience of the community, Samarinda's level of public awareness in preventing floods is still minimal. This can be seen from the large number of communities that still often throw garbage carelessly into rivers, especially residents living near rivers. The garbage thrown into the river hinders the flow of water to the point where it can create a high puddle. It is seen that there are many communities, especially young people who are open-minded about environmental issues. Therefore, it is necessary to design a flood prevention educational medium in Samarinda city that can start from oneself or a simple thing with the main target is Samarinda people itself, especially the youth with qualitative methods.

This paper focuses on activities of Korean Cultural Center Indonesia (KCCI) through the analysis of Korean government policies regarding public diplomacy by Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). KCC is affiliated organization under the Korean Culture and Information Service (KOCIS) under Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST). KCC is established in foreign countries to spread Korean culture and enhance national image through political communication with public. Since the beginning, KCCI has shown contradictory tendencies. On one hand, their mission is to show Korea's strength, but on the other hand, they organize cultural exchange programs that imply equality between the Korean side and its partners. By using a public diplomacy 3.0 theory which is based on cosmopolitanism to evaluate KCCI’s practices, this paper finds that practice of public diplomacy by KCCI is still consisted within public diplomacy 2.0 which is focus on enhancement of national image and creation of a favorable diplomatic environment due to holding hegemony in global soft power competition.
Ritualization of Online Worship During COVID-19 Pandemic: A Case Study in GKMI ARK
Authors: Murwendayoko Ayus Aditia
Published: March 2023

The COVID-19 outbreak that first happened in the city of Wuhan, China on January 2020 did not take long until it reached other parts of the world and then declared by World Health Organization as a pandemic within two month. In Indonesia, Mr. President Joko Widodo urged every citizen to do academic, economical, and religious activities at home in order to slow the spread of the virus. Christian congregations are among religious groups that had been affected by government’s measures to reduce the Coronavirus transmission. While online learning and remote working have been known and practiced by some, online worship was imaginable by none. Located within the “red area” where Coronavirus transmission is high, Gereja Kristen Muria Indonesia Anugerah Rayon Kembangan (GKMI ARK) was among the first churches in Indonesia to switch from on-site to fully online worship. The pastor and elders gave new set of rituals for online worship, to which the congregation must adapt, regardless of their preparedness. Ritual can be broadly defined as a set of meaningful sequence of actions produced by ritualization. This paper aims to explore the ritualization of online worship of GKMI ARK congregation during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tarling Music Virtual Concert Remediation Strategies in the COVID-19 Pandemic Era
Authors: Imawan Khaerudin , Ahimsa-Putra Heddy Shri , Simatupang G.R. Lono Lastoro
Published: March 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic is driving changes in how music concerts are produced, and tarling music is no exception. The government's policy, which included the implementation of Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) and the Enforcement of Restrictions on Community Activities (PPKPM), forced the event organizer, which used to hold entertainment stage concerts, including tarling music, to cease operations. Economically, the tarling musicians lose money because they are out of work for too long. Tarling musicians in Cirebon, West Java, are trying to break through in a variety of ways, including holding virtual music concerts. The purpose of this research is to uncover the practice of tarling music production in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as how tarling music agents adapt to their new habits regarding production methods through remediation strategies practiced through virtual and hybrid environments. This is a qualitative study that employs the paradigm of cultural materialism, as defined by Marvin Harris (1980a, p. 277), who believes that the material conditions of society determine human consciousness rather than the other way around. This research uses documentation study, observation, interviews, recording, and literature study as data collection methods. As a result, the Tarling music artist agency aggressively reforms the form of stage performance that is perceived as reality and presents it in the form of virtual and hybrid reality.
Branding and Online Cataloging of CV. Galaxy Stone
Authors: Santosa Marcellina Carissa , Pranayama Aristarchus , Sutanto Ryan P.
Published: March 2023

Galaxy Stone is a company that is engaged in the craft of various products made from natural stones with the main product, washbasin. When a pandemic happens, the interest in washbasin increase. At the same time, many target audiences still did not know about Galaxy Stone, which caused a lack of trust from the target audience. Also, the target audience feels difficulties when looking at the Galaxy Stone catalog because they did not know the differences between every product. To solve the problems above, branding needs to be made to build the brand image as a store that sells customizable interior products to provide customer comfort. Also, a catalog website that contains products catalog with comparison features is needed. Before making this design, several methods were used to collect data, namely observation, questionnaire, interviews, documentation, and literature studies. The concept in the design is minimalist so the brand looks elegant and luxurious. The media that are used in this design are stationary, social media, website, and marketplace. Hopefully, through the branding design and online catalog, the brand will get the target audience’s trust and more easily view the Galaxy Stone product catalog.
On “Multitude” and the Urban Question: Reading in Times of Pandemics
Authors: Kusno Abidin
Published: March 2023

“Multitude” is a term popularized by Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt to conceptualize the labor condition and its political possibilities in the post-Fordist regime of capital accumulation. This paper seeks to explore such a concept in the context of an Indonesian city. It argues that the Indonesian multitude is formed through the worldwide division of labor, which involves the urban majorities whose work cut across formal and informal sectors. It teases out the absence of the “urban question” in the Indonesian city as a context for understanding the challenges faced by the Indonesian multitude. The paper (in light of post-pandemic) calls for the role of the state to serve as a medium for achieving societal goals and a guarantor of public access to Universal Basic Assets covering education, health, housing, technology, and information.
Editorial
Authors: Solomon Margot
Published: March 2023

As I approach writing my last editorial for the NZAP journal I reflect on my role as editor. I have learnt a great deal about the process and hope to pass my learning on to the new team. The 2008 journal has been slow to come to print. This is due to the editor's struggle with ill health and workload. I apologise to those who have been waiting. The journal is packed full of tasty morsels, and each paper brings a perspective from the experience of the psychotherapist-writer that enriches the reader's reflection on their own practice. The subjectivity of the psychotherapist and the intersubjective process are central to the papers.
Four of the papers in the journal were presented at the conference in Waitangi, which had the theme "Imagining the other: initial contact in the psychotherapy relationship".
The speaking body
Authors: Solomom Paul
Published: March 2023

Psychotherapists who practice Buddhist meditation can develop a heightened awareness of their own body sensations. Some psychotherapists develop the skill of using their body awareness inter-subjectively: their bodies can become sensitive instruments that resonate with the unconscious emotional and physical experiences of their patients and clients, in a form of body-based counter-transference. This article discusses two clinical vignettes from a study of the work of six psychotherapists who meditate, in Auckland, London, New York, and Boston (Solomon, 2008).
The author suggests that the practice of insight meditation (vipassana), and other forms of meditation, may enable therapists to achieve "evenly-suspended attention" (Freud, 1912), develop their sensitivity to body sensations and body counter-transferences, and temporarily suspend psychic boundaries between self and other.
We cannot imagine without the other
Authors: Tudor Keith
Published: March 2023

Human beings are interdependent: we can only say 'I am' because 'we are'. We are therefore intersubjective, and cannot imagine without the other. Thus, in any helping or therapeutic relationship, it is crucial to reflect on, process, understand and evaluate how we relate, one with another and with others. This is especially and particularly important when we are relating across differences. This paper, which is an edited version of one given at the NZAP Conference held in Waitangi in April 2008, draws on the tradition of organismic psychology. The view that the human being is an organism connects the individual to his or her environment and to the significance of others, without which the individual cannot be understood. More recent research in neuroscience has confirmed that this psychological and, ultimately, political perspective has neurobiological foundations. On this basis, the contact between client and therapist is crucial: from the initial contact before meeting, to the first face-to-face meeting, and throughout the therapeutic encounter. Drawing on the work of both Rogers and Stem, the paper critiques the concept of 'the therapeutic relationship' as a fixed construct, and offers some ideas about the importance of contactful 'ways-of-being' in therapeutic relating.
Penina Uliuli: Contemporary challenges in mental health for Pacific peoples
Authors: O'Connor John
Published: March 2023

Uliuli is a book that powerfully invites us to engage with the Pasifika nature of Aotearoa New Zealand's cultural landscape, and the implications of this for mental health work. It asks students and mental health practitioners of all persuasions to engage with the many voices of Pasifika practitioners. The contributors to this book identify primarily as Samoan, Tongan, Niuean and Hawaiian (and have identifications with a range of additional backgrounds). Their voices and the variety of perspectives they offer provide a rich opportunity for Palagi mental health professionals to enter the many worlds of the Pacific, to hear these voices and the potent lessons they offer. For Pasifika practitioners the book brings together voices that have struggled in the past to be heard, much less read, particularly in the tertiary training centres where many psychotherapists and mental health practitioners initially learn their craft.
