Authors: Kurnia Fitri Ayu , Abdulloh Abdulloh
Published: July 2024

Islamic boarding schools (pondok pesantren) are regarded as vital educational institutions that play an important role in the progress and development of education. Additionally, they are considered alternative solutions for various educational challenges. This educational model, which focuses on religious studies, particularly Islam, has become a model and the precursor for the current educational system in Indonesia. Implementing life skills education within these institutions produces highly competitive students. With life skills training, they become more productive and capable of competing in the job market. The research questions are: (1) What efforts do the administrators of Pondok Pesantren make to enhance students' life skills? (2) What are the outcomes of these efforts? The objectives are: (1) To identify the efforts made by Pondok Pesantren administrators to enhance the life skills of students, and (2) To determine the results of these efforts. The findings indicate that instilling educational values in Islamic boarding schools through muhadhoroh (speeches) and extracurricular activities have a positive impact. The strategies used to instill Islamic educational values through muhadhoroh and extracurricular activities have proven effective.

Reconsidering the Image of Monks in Traditional Folktales : Focusing on “The Filial Daughter Sim Cheong” Included in Korean Language Textbooks
Authors: Lee Eun Ja ,   Korean Society of Gyobang and Culture
Published: July 2024

“Hyonyeo Simcheong” is one of the most popular folktale pieces listed in Korean language textbooks and literature. Hence, as a well-known folktale, the image of the monk character in “Hyonyeo Simcheong” may influence the image of Korean Buddhism. This is because monks are a fundamental subject of Buddhism. Of course, the “Simcheongjeon” tale has a strong emphasis on the protagonist Simcheong’s Confucian filial piety, so one may not focus on the monk’s appearance within the story. For international students who have relatively limited opportunities to encounter the diversity of Korean literature, the image of the monk in “Hyonyeo Simcheong” could lead to a negative perception of Korean Buddhism The monk character of “Hyonyeo Simcheong” in Korean language textbooks is an unidentified entity. He is merely depicted as a passing monk or even just a passing pedestrian. It may seem like the names of places or people have disappeared from the background story, transforming naturally as folktales are passed on. However, the absence of the monk’s depiction who plays an important role in the work, should be reconsidered.
The problem is that the “Hyonyeo Simcheong”, the children’s version of “Simcheongjeon” in Korean language textbooks, does not effectively reflect current generational perceptions, yet has maintained a fixed negative image of the monk under the excuse of being a folktale. The proposal is to reconsider the fact that the monk remains a character who lies without reason, without minimal considerations of probability.
The paper aims to examine the history of Korean monks, alongside how the image of monks in Korean traditional literature has changed over time.
The paper also seeks to analyse the portrayal of the monk character within “Hyonyeo Simcheong” listed in Korean language textbooks, thereby exploring approaches for improvements.

HIV infection remains a significant global health challenge, affecting over 37.9 million people worldwide. Despite widespread access to antiretroviral therapy (ART), adverse neonatal outcomes are prevalent among pregnant women living with HIV. This prospective cohort study aimed to determine the incidence and factors associated with early adverse neonatal outcomes among HIV-positive mothers at Mubende and Fort Portal Regional Referral Hospitals (MRRH and FRRH), compared to HIV-negative mothers. The study excluded mothers with known risks for adverse neonatal outcomes. Neonates were monitored from birth to discharge within 7 days for adverse outcomes. Among 203 participants, 135 were HIV-negative and 68 were HIV-positive. Adverse neonatal outcomes were more frequent in the HIV-positive group (39.7% vs. 28.1%), although the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.096). Prematurity (20.6% vs. 8.1%, P=0.031) and low birth weight (25.0% vs. 12.6%, P=0.047) were significantly higher among HIV-positive mothers. Multivariate analysis identified detectable viral load as a significant risk factor for early neonatal adverse outcomes (aRR=4.036, CI=1.428-11.406, P=0.008). These findings underscore the importance of close monitoring and viral load suppression in HIV-positive mothers. Further research is needed to understand the causes of detectable viral loads in mothers on ART and to capture neonatal adverse outcomes beyond 7 days post-delivery.

Published: July 2024

The coronavirus pandemic is spreading rapidly around the world. The health systems of all countries faced extraordinary problems in terms of the creation and distribution of medical resources, including the re-equipment and creation of new hospital beds, and the provision of personal protective equipment. The patients who undergo a laryngectomy are a special category. Given the fact that during the operation they have a separation of the upper and lower respiratory tract, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, such patients require special attention from oncologists and otorhinolaryngologists. Purpose of the study is to review the characteristics of patient management after a laryngectomy in a COVID-19 pandemic. Laryngectomy patients represent a unique contingent in conditions of coronavirus infection SARS-COV-2, it is advisable to focus on providing them with protective equipment. This will significantly reduce the risk of infection with their virus, which can be a deadly threat to them. Infected patients during an epidemic represent a potential source of infection for medical personnel, which requires special protective measures. All procedures associated with the replacement of the prosthesis, endoscopic manipulations, it is advisable to postpone until the normalization of the epidemiological situation. If carrying out such operations is vital, then they should be carried out, observing all necessary precautions for both the patient and medical personnel.
The research of the effect of the interaction of molybdenum, cobalt, piracetam and ascorbic acid on cognitive processes in rats
Authors: Inozemtsev A. , Dyachenko Y. , Karpukhina O. , Kalinina I.
Published: July 2024

The problem of combined effects on animals of a combination of drugs with heavy metals (HM) is considered. The study was carried out at the K.L.Khetagurov North Ossetian State University (Vladikavkaz, RSO-Alania) and the Lomonosov Moscow State University (Moscow). The effect of lead diacetate and ammonium molybdate on the training of rats was studied separately, as well as in combination with ascorbic acid and piracetam. It has been found that lead and molybdenum salts inhibit avoidance reactions and inter-signal reactions. The combined effect of these salts with ascorbic acid and piracetam led to mixed results. The nootrope counteracted the inhibition of avoidance reactions by metals, but increased the inhibition of inter-signal reactions, which serve as an important characteristic of learning. In contrast, ascorbic acid reduced the inhibition of both avoidance reactions and inter-signal reactions caused by HM. The use of 2 drugs with HM led not only to an increase in the positive effect exerted by each of the drugs on training, but also to its weakening. The results obtained indicate that the interaction of drugs and HM, taking place in real conditions, is fraught with unpredictable consequences and may pose a danger to human and animal health. This justifies the need for further analysis of the combined effects of several drugs with HM.

The paper consider the problems of a changing world in the areas of natural and climatic, ecology, migration of ethnic groups, education and their impact on the health of society. Research has revealed that the idea of bifurcations and the principle of fractal determinism allows us to look at one of the most significant problems of humanity: its health and adaptive capabilities in a changing world. We still understand these changes at the level of any one science, and not holistically. Therefore, it is so important to comprehensive study health problems from the standpoint of modern synergetic methodology in a changing world.
Studying the redox status of paramecium caudatum cells under influence of molybdenum, zinc, copper oxide nanoparticles and synthetic antioxidants
Authors: Karpukhina O. , Dubova V. , Latanov A. , Inozemtsev A.
Published: July 2024

Aims. To study the effect of CuO, ZnO and MoO3 nanoparticles on the vital functions of the single cell organism Paramecium caudatum; to analyse the activity of antioxidant cellular enzymes: SOD and CAT, as well as to evaluate the possibility of cells protection against oxidative stress by endogenous antioxidants. Methods. Paramecium caudatum cells were cultured under standard conditions for this test subject [3-4]. The toxicity of metal nanoparticles, PMСO (20-60 nm), PM ZnO (40-80 nm) and PM MoO3 (5-20 nm) (Laboratory of Physical Modelling of Two-Phase Flows, United Institute of High Temperatures, Russian Academy of Sciences) — was evaluated by determining the LC50 lethality index of the concentration at which 50% of Paramecium caudatum population was killed. Free-floating cells were then exposed for 48 h to sublethal concentrations of NPs metal oxides in moderately hard water with dissolved antioxidant. The efficacy of emoxipine (10 mg/ml), mexidol (50 mg/ml) ascorbic acid AA (25 mg/ml) and nicotinic acid NA (10 mg/ml) was investigated; for this purpose cell number, cell membrane condition, changes of intracellular organelle shape were recorded (Levenhuk C310 digital camera microscope, 3.1 Mpixel). Results. We found that the presence of metal oxides induced a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in the number of viable Paramecium caudatum cells, in 24 h there were 58 % deaths from CuO, 43 % deaths from ZnO and 40 % deaths from MoO3, but in 48 h - 92 %, 88 % and 75 %, respectively. Copper oxide PM were the most toxic to cells, with an LC50 of 25 mg/l; for ZnO PM and MoO3 PM, the lethal concentration was equal and higher than 50 mg/l. negative pressure of metal-containing NPs led to osmotic disorganization, which was accompanied by an increase in vacuoles, abnormal bending and membrane rupture. Conclusions. Our results demonstrated that oxidative stress is one of the leading mechanisms of toxicity of PM oxides of transition metals such as copper, zinc and molybdenum. When the single-celled organism Paramecium caudatum was exposed to the studied NPs, destructive damages of membrane structures, changes in functions and morphology of organelles leading to cell death were observed. It should be noted that under such abiotic stress, the viability of Paramecium caudatum in general is the result of a complex interaction of the cells' own antioxidant system as well as the specific characteristics of NPs (size and solubility) and additional environmental factors, such as the presence of compounds with antioxidant activity in it.

Cultivating Reading Comprehension Habits to Promote Autonomous English Language Learning among Students at Tuyen Quang School for Excellence (TSE)
Authors: Hue Bui Thi Hoang
Published: July 2024

In the ever-evolving landscape of English language education, fostering autonomous learning has emerged as a crucial imperative. At Tuyen Quang School for Excellence (TSE), where students aspire to excel in their English proficiency, the cultivation of effective reading comprehension habits holds the key to unlocking their full potential as self-directed learners. This study explores the current state of reading comprehension practices at TSE and proposes a multifaceted approach to cultivate sustainable reading habits that can propel students towards greater autonomy in their English language learning.
The research methodology employed a mixed-methods approach, encompassing both quantitative and qualitative data collection. A comprehensive survey of TSE students and in-depth interviews with their English language teachers provided invaluable insights into the challenges, perceptions, and needs surrounding reading comprehension development. The analysis of these findings revealed a clear disconnect between the importance placed on reading comprehension and the students' actual engagement and proficiency levels.
To address this gap, the study presents a strategic intervention plan that combines targeted instructional strategies, technology-enhanced learning resources, and a collaborative community-building initiative. By equipping teachers with evidence-based pedagogical techniques, empowering students to take ownership of their reading practices, and fostering a school-wide culture of reading, the proposed framework aims to transform TSE into a vibrant hub of autonomous English language learning.
The implementation of this holistic approach is expected to yield tangible improvements in students' reading comprehension skills, foster their intrinsic motivation to engage with English texts, and cultivate a lifelong habit of independent language exploration. The findings of this study hold significant implications for English language education programs in Vietnam and beyond, offering a replicable model for developing self-directed, adaptable, and proficient English language learners.

Authors: Vourdoubas John
Published: July 2024

Installation of floating solar photovoltaic systems on the surface of water bodies has been developed rapidly in recent years worldwide. However, installation of floating photovoltaics in water reservoirs in Greece has not been reported so far. Kourna lake is the only natural lake in Crete located in the western part of the island in an idyllic and environmentally protected site while several touristic activities have been developed locally. The characteristics of the lake are mentioned and various parameters of a floating photovoltaic system which can be installed have been evaluated. A floating photovoltaic system with nominal power at 2.42 MWp can be installed on its surface with coverage ratio 5% generating 3.6 GWh annually. If the coverage ratio of the surface is at 10% the nominal power of the installed floating photovoltaic system will be at 4.83 MWp while the annually generated electricity will be at 7.24 GWh corresponding at 0.24% of the power demand in the island in 2018. The advantages and the drawbacks of the novel floating energy system have been stated. The acceptance of the abovementioned solar energy system from the local community is a prerequisite for its successful installation avoiding local conflicts and protests related with the co-existence of the current touristic activities with solar power generation in the lake.

Authors: Asyraful Khairi  , Dedi Masri  , Reza Pratama  , Sabina Rasmita Dalimunthe
Published: July 2024

This research examines three teaching methods in Islamic education for a better understanding of effective learning methods. The focus is on Surah An-Nahl, verse 125, and the interpretation of Al-Misbah. Data was obtained through content analysis related to teaching methods and the interpretation of verse 125. The researcher used secondary sources of information such as books and relevant articles. Data analysis was conducted using Tafsir Ijmal to understand the essence of the Quran as a clear guide for life. The method of hikmah emphasizes fundamental understanding through knowledge and righteous actions. The method of mau'izhah requires support from experience and role modeling, but it should be avoided if incomplete. The method of jidal introduces knowledge and stimulates students' interest through variation and evaluation. Its implementation should allow for critical thinking. The verse expresses three approaches in Quranic education: hikmah, mau'izhah hasanah, and jidal. Their application requires deep knowledge, good morals, the use of appropriate words, and a proportional attitude. Education with gentle words is more effective in fostering peace.

Published: July 2024

The migration issue begins with the occurrence of development inequality, which results in high unemployment rates. One of the factors contributing to high unemployment is the limited capacity of a country's economic growth to create new job opportunities, while the number of job seekers continues to rise, leading to the phenomenon of labor migration. This research aims to analyze the patterns of remittance utilization by Indonesian Migrant Workers' (IMW) families from Jago Village, Central Lombok Regency. In this study, a quantitative descriptive research method was employed, and the analytical tool applied was percentage analysis to calculate the usage of remittances by IMW families in their home village. Primary data were obtained through questionnaires, interviews, and observations conducted on IMW families in Jago Village, Central Lombok Regency. The research findings indicate that the majority of remittance utilization by migrant families is dominated by consumption-oriented purposes. Approximately 70.5 percent of the respondents exhibited a pattern of using remittances for consumptive purposes, while 29.5 percent of the respondents used remittances for productive purposes.

Published: July 2024

The increasing competition demands companies to expand their operations in order to survive and remain competitive. This expansion includes business expansion, product innovation, and product differentiation, all of which ultimately lead to an increased need for funding. Therefore, companies require external parties capable of providing funding, such as investors or creditors. The objective of this research is to examine whether the quality of earnings affects the cost of equity and whether the quality of earnings affects the cost of equity with asymmetric information as an intervening variable. The quality of earnings is measured using discretionary accruals, which are calculated using the Modified Jones Model. Meanwhile, asymmetric information and the cost of equity are measured using bid-ask spreads and price-earning ratios, with agency theory as the primary theory underpinning this research. The research sample consists of 46 companies selected through purposive sampling from the manufacturing sector of consumer goods industry listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the years 2019-2021. The research method employed in this study is path analysis, which explains the direct and indirect relationships between the quality of earnings, asymmetric information, and the cost of equity. Based on the results of the path analysis, it is evident that the quality of earnings does not directly affect the cost of equity. Furthermore, the testing of the second hypothesis indicates that the quality of earnings does not have an indirect effect on the cost of equity with asymmetric information as an intervening variable.

In the current business landscape, effective management of a company's financial strategy is paramount for sustainable growth, with a particular emphasis on optimizing the capital structure to fulfill the funding requirements of day-to-day operations. This research investigates how the capital structure influences the financial performance of non-bank financial institutions listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the year 2022. The study focuses on two key dependent variables: the return on assets ratio and the return on equity ratio. The independent variables, represented by the capital structure, encompass the debt-to-assets ratio and the debt-to-equity ratio. The results obtained through regression analysis of the data unveil a significant negative impact of the capital structure on financial performance, particularly affecting the return on equity. These findings underscore the importance of non-bank financial institutions exercising caution when managing capital resources secured through debt financing. Excessive reliance on debt within the company's capital structure could potentially elevate financial burdens, ultimately leading to a reduction in overall profitability. Consequently, prudent capital management practices are recommended to maintain financial stability and bolster long-term prosperity.
