Вплив лісогосподарської діяльності на ландшафтно-рекреаційні показники лісових ділянок лісопаркової частини лісів зеленої зони Житомира
Authors: Сірук І. М. , Сірук Ю. В.
Published: April 2024

У лісах зеленої зони Житомира, зважаючи на їх функціональні особливості, окрім рекреаційного лісокористування досить, активно ведеться лісогосподарська діяльність. Шляхом аналізу лісовпорядних та виробничих матеріалів було визначено основні показники ведення лісового господарства в межах трьох найбільших лісокористувачів у лісопарковій частині лісів зеленої зони Житомира. Для дослідження впливу лісозаготівлі та протипожежних заходів на рекреаційні показники було проведено польові дослідження на 50-ти пробних площах. Переважаючими за площею лісогосподарськими заходами є вибіркові санітарні рубки, доглядові та інші господарські рубання. Тільки в 2020-2022 рр. у межах рекреаційно-оздоровчих лісів Житомира рубаннями формування і оздоровлення лісів було пройдено від 15 до 43 %% площ покритих лісом ділянок трьох найбільших лісокористувачів. Під час аналізу проведених рубок у рекреаційно-оздоровчих лісах виявлено, що за останні роки ландшафтні рубання основними лісокористувачами не проводилися. За характером організації ведення лісового господарства у приміських лісах неістотно відрізняється від експлуатаційних лісів. Благоустрій проводився тільки в межах сімох рекреаційних пунктів. Досліджено, що під час проведення санітарних вибіркових рубань у лісопарковій частині лісів зеленої зони на 23 % площ було відзначено зміну типу ландшафту із закритого на напіввідкритий. Виявлено, що після проведення санітарних вибіркових рубань в насадженнях відбулося підвищення класу стійкості та естетичної оцінки на одну позицію. Проведення доглядових та інших рубань не вплинули на зміну жодного рекреаційного показника. Оцінено вплив вогневого методу очищення лісосіки від порубкових решток на порушення надґрунтового покриву ділянок. З'ясовано, що цей метод очищення лісосік, який застосовують на 95 % площ лісосік рубань формування і оздоровлення, призводить до порушення від 1 до 4 % площі поверхні ґрунту, що фактично відповідає показникам рекреаційної дигресії на цих ділянках до проведення рубань. Досліджено, що після проведення лісосічних робіт взимку порушення надґрунтового покриву варіювало в межах 8-15 %, літні лісозаготівельні роботи спричиняли значно більше технологічне порушення поверхні ґрунту – від 12 до 52 %. Встановлено, що під час проведення протипожежної мінералізації ґрунту в лісових насадженнях лісопаркової зони частка технологічно пошкодженої поверхні ґрунту становила від 2 до 8 % площ, що у два-чотири рази перевищувало показники рекреаційної дигресії дослідних ділянок. Перспективними є дослідження терміну відновлення рослинного покриву на порушених ділянках внаслідок вогневого очищення лісосічних відходів.

The State Violence, Social Insecurity, and the Crisis of Community in the Neoliberal Age
Authors:   Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities, Kim Heewon
Published: April 2024

This study argues that community sustainability—already in threat in the age of neoliberalism and polycrisis—has been undermined owing to long-term structural violence and the lack of social safety net in South Korea. It is thus critical to analyze the mechanisms and effects of structural violence to determine the current nature of community crises. The purpose of this study is two-fold. First, I suggest an expanded view of state violence, which helps articulate its characteristics and influences. Persisting structural violence is inextricably linked to the recent social phenomena such as antisocial violence that signals social tensions and conflicts. Second, I contend that the South Korean government deploys a variety of state violence mechanisms to manage social insecurity and oppress social resistance rather than addressing structural root causes. Subsequently, the government policies proliferate forms of violence, exacerbating social divisions and insecurity. This study proposes a notion of neoliberal punitive state to elaborate on how increasing state violence aims to handle insecurity that stems from neoliberal approaches. Finally, this study calls for further research on state violence to examine structural harm to community flourishing and sustainability.
A Study on the Effect of Media Literacy Competences on Responding to Fake News
Authors:   Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities, Shim Jaewoong , Shin Myounghwan
Published: April 2024

This study examined how individual media literacy competencies affect response behavior towards fake news, which is causing damage to individuals and society. Media literacy competencies are being emphasized as a means to minimize this damage. Therefore, the study investigated the relationship between individual demographic characteristics and media literacy competencies (critical competency, use production competency, social communication competency) concerning information distrust, information confirmation, and active response. This investigation utilized secondary data from the Korea Communications Commission's 2021 ‘Media Literacy Measurement Study to Support Media Education.’ The results of the study revealed a positive relationship between information distrust and critical competency, as well as a positive relationship between information confirmation and critical competency, social communication competency, use, and production competency. Additionally, active response exhibited a positive relationship with male participants, those with lower educational backgrounds, individuals with lower media usage times, critical competency, and social communication competency. Conversely, there was a negative relationship with use and production competency. This study found that media literacy competences which are emphasized as countermeasures against fake news, are related to fake news response behavior. Accordingly, as a countermeasure against fake news, it is proposed to strengthen individual media literacy competences through media education.
A Study on the Dong-Ju Yoon's Lyrical World and the Ideal of Childhood Innocence
Authors:   Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities, Lee Soobin
Published: April 2024

The world of Dong-Ju Yoon’s poetry has a source of extreme and pure childhood innocence, like the innocent gaze of an unattached child, which enjoys the phenomenon itself with an intuition that can get close to the essence of things and accepts the world beyond its horizon. The consciousness and orientation of childhood innocence revealed in Dong-Ju Yoon’s poetry are not merely the result of conforming to the purposefulness of the times. However, they are inherited and deepened in his later works, constituting a consistent poetic sensibility that underlies the world of Dong-Ju Yoon’s poetry. Since there are many identical symbols, identifying consciousness of childhood innocence is necessary to understand the totality of the poet. Dong-Ju Yoon’s poetry coexists with childhood memories, reproduces them in epic paintings by dressing them in childhood innocence, and constructs the appearance of an archetypal world. The world of childhood innocence formed through the young narrator is expressed as a dynamic channel of reflection that seeks solutions to problems and overcomes the depression and lethargy of the poet's time. By symbolically depicting the lyrical world of the child, he vividly depicts the contradictions of the times and expresses the fundamental human emotions in his poems, forming the poet's authenticity. It is a search to find an outlet for hope through the style of children's poetry with clear and bright innocence and dynamic vitality without caving to the hardships of reality suffering from the dictatorship of a vast and oppressed world.
Wounded healer: a Consideration of Media in Kirsten Johnson's Dick Johnson Is Dead
Authors:   Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities, Jung Hyunkyu
Published: April 2024

Director Kirsten Johnson's 2020 film  uses a father suffering from dementia as the main subject of the film. The director is making an omnibus-type film by obtaining the father's consent and filming various possibilities of his father's death. The director, who already lost her mother to dementia, re-experiences the disease she herself experienced and reflects on how to view it by filming his father. However, in this process, the father is not just passively captured by the camera's gaze as an object of care, but is given an opportunity to reflect on the power structure of the camera's gaze. The father becomes a being who participates in the camera work, not a passive and miserable being who loses everything he has cultivated, and eventually goes to the being who proudly drops his own. The camera, which previously represented the power of vision, gains new possibilities as a medium by actively accepting the situation of acknowledging the object's full authority.

Authors: Darmastuti Milati , Desstya Anatri
Published: April 2024

Science is material that is closely correlated with experiments and observations, as well as the complexity of living things and their lives, including plants. Plant reproduction is considered to be an area of material that is classified as difficult to convey because it is dense and requires long observations. This difficulty then becomes the trigger for misconceptions among students. This research aims to desCRIbe the level of misconceptions among elementary school students regarding plant reproduction material. This type of research is qualitative with a data collection method using a test instrument using the Certainty of Response Index (CRI) method, with a total of 25 questions that have been tested for validity and reliability, with a validity score of 0.468 and a reliability score of 0.60. The validity of this research was checked by testing the validity and reliability of the test instrument, checking the consistency of filling in the CRI values during the research, and using a formula to calculate the incidence of misconceptions. Based on the results of the discussion, it can be concluded that the questions can be declared valid and reliable. The research results showed that 32% had misconceptions, 28% knew the concept with certainty, 29% didn't know the concept correctly, and 4% guessed the answer. The percentage of misconceptions at 32% can be categorized as moderate. The highest misconception in the material explaining perfect flowers was 89%, while the lowest misconception in the material explaining the meaning of vegetative plant reproduction was 0%, which means that no students experienced misconceptions about the material.

Published: April 2024

The role of history learning in reducing the empathy crisis is to ground historical empathy. However, teaching and research on historical empathy has not been very massive because in Indonesia the concept of historical empathy is relatively new and not much empirical data has been adopted by academics. This research aims to map the concept and teaching of historical empathy in history learning. This research uses qualitative research with a literature review method, that is: first, identifying the problem statement; second, identifying the problem statement; and third, identifying the problem statement: first, identifying the problem statement; second, identifying relevant research; third, selecting research; fourth, mapping data; and fifth, compiling, summarizing, and reporting results. The results of this study include the definition of historical empathy from various experts presented with a continuum line that is preceded by historical debates and followed by elements of historical empathy from the cognitive and affective domains and a combination of both, as well as historical empathy didactics which include: learning models that have been developed; suitable learning materials or themes; learning reflection or evaluation activities; and the level of achievement of historical empathy for students. The implication of this study is as a literature option for further researchers and as a reference material for history teachers in designing lessons that want to develop historical empathy skills in order to strengthen the character of the “Profil Pelajar Pancasila" for students who are tolerant, caring, democratic, and open-minded.

Published: April 2024

This research aims at a deeper understanding of the steady-state thermal behavior of underground cables using Computational Heat Transfer (CHT) techniques modeling based Ansys Fluent software. The results concern the thermal study of 33 kV single and multiple copper conductors with a nominal conductor cross-section of 615 mm2 buried in the ground for a single cable, two cables and for three cables in horizontal position. The most unfavorable summer conditions, the burial depth as well as the physical properties of the soil as a function of the moisture content, are studied. The operating current of the conductors is taken 940 A. The results show that the temperature of the cables decreases with the burial depth, a compromise temperature/cost of installation corresponds to 80 cm of burial depth. Further, the maximum temperature of a single cable buried in the ground is considerably lower than that allowed (363 K) for a good use, namely 313 K in summer conditions, so there is a considerable margin to increase its ampacity, also the temperature decrease with increase of water content of the soil surrounding the cable of approximately 2 to 5 degrees. The results obtained are in good agreement with those of the literature.

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is an advanced combustion strategy proposed to provide higher efficiency and lower emissions than conventional compression ignition. Nevertheless, the operation of HCCI engines still presents formidable challenges. Preparing homogeneous mixtures and controlling the combustion phase are crucial challenges in the context of engine performance. Piston bowl geometry significantly enhances the process by improving the flow and facilitating air-fuel mixing for combustion. On that note, this study utilised the CFD simulation methods to analyse HCCI combustion in port fuel injection (PFI) mode and evaluate the effect of piston bowl geometries on engine performance. For this purpose, the CFD simulation result for a single-cylinder, four-stroke YANMAR diesel engine was validated with experimental data. The different piston bowl geometries with the same volume, compression, and equivalence ratio were then investigated numerically. The validation result of the CFD simulation offers enough confidence to continue the study with different piston bowl geometries. The results attained from the Direct Injection (DI) engine piston bowl application demonstrate a minor change in in-cylinder pressure and heat release rate. The piston bowl design employed in a Port Fuel Injection engine application exhibited different combustion phases while demonstrating similarity in attaining in-cylinder pressure. The findings for swirl induce piston bowl design indicate an enhancement of in-cylinder pressure for the Spiral Crown geometry model, reaching 9.42 MPa. The results of the study demonstrated that the piston bowl's design affected the performance of an HCCI engine.

Netflix Movies Recommendation System
Authors: Bhavani Koppadi. , Aslesha Lakshmi Sai Kottu.
Published: April 2024

Netflix is a leading global entertainment company with over 247 million paying customers who can access TV series, films, and games in over 190+ countries. Many languages and genres are offered for the content. As much as they like, whenever and wherever they wish, participants are free to change their plans and play, pause, and resume viewing. With the exponential growth of content on streaming platforms like Netflix, users often face the challenge of finding relevant and enjoyable movies.The "Cold-Start" issue is a recommendation system issue wherein new users or items have little data, making it challenging to provide appropriate recommendations. In response, this paper proposes a data-driven movie recommendation system tailored for Netflix. Leveraging machine learning techniques, user preferences, and historical data, the model aims to enhance the user experience by providing personalized movierecommendations. This study explores algorithms such as collaborative filtering, content-based filtering, and hybrid models to achieve accurate and effective movie recommendations. While content-based filtering uses item features to suggest shows or movies a user has previously enjoyed, collaborative filtering examines user behavior and preferences to produce suggestions. Even with insufficient data, the system can deliver more accurate recommendations for new users or things by combining various approaches. By making recommendations based on both item features and user behavior, this hybrid approach helps to reduce the cold start issue.

Published: April 2024

A Learner Information System (LIS) is a web- based tool that serves as a database for all students enrolled in basic education. The department implemented several facility enhancements to address identified problems with enrolling students, updating their profiles and statuses, and generating reports. However, to determine whether the system's facility augmentation is effective, it is crucial to look at the system's usability from the viewpoint of the end- user. This study aims to evaluate users’ usability assessment of system quality, information quality, and interface quality of the system. A survey-type study that utilized a mixed method and adopted the Lewis Computer System Usability Questionnaire (CSUQ) with 19 questions and used a 7-point Likert scale. The study used convenience sampling of 30 out of 54 junior and senior high school teacher-advisers. The result of the study indicates that the responses have a positive perception of the three main factors of system usability assessment. The result also shows that only the information quality indicator significantly affects the length of service. Overall, the respondents were satisfied with their user’s experience on the LIS.

Published: April 2024

While the increasing use of social media today provides advantages in various aspects of our lives, the problems that these platforms bring also come to light. One of these is "stalking", which is a situation where a person uses social media to access more information about other people's private lives or experiences. Excessive stalking and sending unwanted, disturbing messages can lead to social media harassment. In addition, constantly checking people's social media accounts can lead to severe social media addiction. This study aims to investigate the situation of university students' stalking on social media. In the research, phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research methods, is adopted. Within the scope of the research, 27 students were interviewed using a semi-structured interview form. In the analysis of the data, content analysis was used. Participants' views on the effect of social media on stalking were coded by content analysis and presented in seven different themes, and their experiences were visualized with word clouds. As a result of the research, it was seen that the participants mostly act with a sense of curiosity and frequently stalk their inner circle on social media, and that stalking is more popular due to the accessibility of social media. It was also observed that individuals subjected to stalking are more anxious in their daily lives, and this makes them uncomfortable. It was concluded that excessive stalking can lead to addiction and that precautions should be taken. Based on these results, different suggestions are made about stalking on social media. As an alternative, before stalking turns into an addiction, measures such as seeking psychological support, limiting the time allocated to social media and conducting various awareness activities can be taken. As for future research, the phenomenon of stalking can be investigated in students at the high school-level, and a case study can be developed.
