Authors: Mocanu George Danut , Draganescu Crina Adriana , Murariu Gabriel
Published: May 2024

Background and Study Purpose. Basketball is an important worldwide sport and is frequently included in the school curriculum at various levels and in leisure activities. This study aims to determine the attractiveness and interest in basketball among high school students, as well as to compare it with other youth sports. Material and Methods. The investigated group consists of 259 high school students (16.97 years), with 135 males and 124 females, 156 urban and 103 rural. All students participated in physical education lessons with basketball topics. Questioning of the students for the component of the attractiveness of playing basketball was done by questionnaire with 14 items and closed answers at the level of this factor. The items were designed using a 5-level Likert scale. The completion of the questionnaires was carried out between November 2023 and January 2024. Results. The mean item values indicate high scores related to the spectacularity of basketball, as well as higher scores compared to track and field and gymnastics. The F values indicate strong influences of gender, but especially of background on students’ choices. Males are significantly happier than females when they have basketball topics in their lessons. For almost all items of the attractiveness factor, those from rural areas give significantly lower mean scores than those from urban areas (P < 0.05), so there is a clear perception gap between these groups. The Gender *Area variables interaction generates significant differences (P < 0.05), but these are only evident for men. Conclusions. Across the entire group, even though basketball scores relatively better on average in terms of attractiveness than the rest of the team games, athletics and gymnastics, soccer remains at the top of high school students’ preferences (47%). We found low values for playing basketball as a leisure activity, as well as for concerns about watching basketball competitions. However, men play basketball in their free time and watch competitions more than women. For men, soccer is the only sport more attractive than basketball, but basketball is more interesting than volleyball, handball, gymnastics and track and field. For women, soccer has a low attractiveness, while basketball, volleyball and gymnastics are more interesting. The differences between urban and rural (the whole group) for the attractiveness dimension are significant and entirely in favour of urban students. Urban students are more attracted, prefer, get involved, practice, and look forward more to basketball topics in curricular and extracurricular activities. The interaction between variables shows much larger differences between urban boys vs rural boys, but more balanced scores are found for urban girls vs rural girls.

The purpose of this article is to investigate and analyze the practices of scientific management within the County Departments of Sports and Youth (CDSY) in Romania. Conducted through a comprehensive research endeavor spanning from January to June 2022, the study utilized a standardized questionnaire as its primary instrument for data collection, distributed among CDSY directors. A notable finding from the study indicates that a significant proportion of respondents (44.9%) perceive notable disparities in the normative-functional elements governing the National Sports System in Romania compared to international standards. Moreover, the majority (51%) consistently adhere to regulatory acts, while a substantial portion (69.4%) underscore the importance of strict adherence to internal regulations in strategy formulation. Furthermore, an overwhelming majority (88.9%) acknowledge the substantial influence of available resources on strategy development, with collaboration with authorities primarily occurring through direct communication channels. Respondents prioritize multiple objectives (44.9%), affirm the necessity of various competencies (53.1%), and identify a lack of human and financial resources (59.2%) as the most significant obstacle. Notable achievements highlighted in the study include the improvement of the county's sports performance (53.1%). Respondents also believe that setting clear and realistic objectives (38.8%) is pivotal to enhancing CDSY management, while considerations in formulating strategies emphasize trends in the sports domain (42.9%) and the specific needs of the local sports community (42.9%). Overall, this research contributes to the understanding and promotion of more efficient practices in managing sports and youth departments within Romania's counties.

Published: May 2024

This study examined the psychophysiological responses of players to mental fatigue (MF) during simulated badminton matches. Sixteen badminton athletes (age = 19.06 ± 1.29 years) participated in this study voluntarily. Before starting the measurements, the players were informed about the measurements, and anthropometric measurements were performed. Official badminton competition rules and formats were used. Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS) responses were recorded before and after the games. At the end of each set, the players' perceived exertion (RPE), visual analogue scale (VAS), and enjoyment scale values were determined. Mental fatigue increased perceived exertion and mental fatigue levels during the match, and at the same time, the enjoyment of badminton players decreased (p<0.05). Based on mood responses, an increase in negative moods, such as anger and fatigue, was observed after MF, whereas a decrease in vigour mood occurred (p<0.05). However, no mood change was observed before or after the match without MF (p>0.05). After the game was played with MF, only a decrease in the feeling of vigour was detected compared to the game without fatigue (p<0.05). The results may help coaches and sports psychologists better understand their athletes and take appropriate measures when necessary. Understanding the effect of MF on athlete performance may help athletes direct their training programs directly.

Published: May 2024

Identifying variables that impact students' grades is a constant concern but also a challenge for teachers in the field of educational sciences. The study investigates the association between self-efficacy, positive affect, anxiety, and students' expected grades before the final exam of bachelor university studies. The study is based on Pekrun's (2006) control-value theory, and it aims to investigate the relationship between self-efficacy, anxiety, positive affect, and students' expected grades. Specifically, the study seeks to understand how anxiety mediates the relationship between self-efficacy and expected grades and how positive affect mediates the positive relationship between self-efficacy and anxiety levels. The study was conducted on 170 students from Primary and Preschool Education Pedagogy and Orthodox Pastoral Theology studying at a state university in Romania. The students completed the assessment tools that assess the research variables: general self-efficacy, positive affect, anxiety - as a self-regulated learning strategy - and the student's expected grade in the bachelor exam. The results of the structural equation modeling indicate that the level of self-efficacy has an impact on student anxiety levels. This anxiety, in turn, negatively influences the expected grades that students predict before taking the assessment tests required to complete their bachelor's studies. Therefore, anxiety acts as a mediator between self-efficacy and expected grades. Additionally, the results show that the relationship between self-efficacy and anxiety is mediated by positive affect. These findings emphasize the importance of effective teaching and learning methods that promote academic success.
Animal Experiments Used in Experimental Neuroscience Research: Learning, Memory, Anxiety, Depression and Motor Function Behavioural Experiments
Authors: Akçay Güven
Published: May 2024

Behavioral experiments have been conducted since the classical conditioning research of Ivan Pavlov in 1904. Experimental research plays an important role in understanding the mechanisms of diseases, preventing these diseases, and developing effective treatment methods. Research using animal models is very important to understand the mechanisms of these diseases and to develop effective treatment strategies. Animal models are widely used in the research of a treatment method, the development of novel treatment protocols, and the discovery of new drug molecules. The efficacy of the drug to be developed is very important both for testing whether the animal model is formed before starting the research and for the effectiveness of the drug in treatment and for the elucidation of the mechanisms to be investigated. Therefore, evaluations are usually made with behavioral experiments. Each behavioral experiment has its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, the researcher should be aware of these advantages and limitations before choosing the most appropriate behavioral experiment. This review aimed to describe the most commonly used learning, memory, anxiety, depression, and motor function behavioral experimental protocols in experimental models such as Alzheimer's, epilepsy, migraine, neuropathic pain, schizophrenia, Parkinson's, cerebral ischemia, and traumatic brain injury.

Published: May 2024

The study addresses a critical gap in existing knowledge by delving into the nuanced impacts of technological advancements on the intricate dynamics of public procurement in Kenya. The investigation meticulously examined the influence of technology adoption on efficiency and transparency, exploring a spectrum of experiences, challenges, successes, and overall implications within the procurement landscape. The study was anchored on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Technology, Organization, and Environment (TOE) theory. The study adopted both quantitative and document analysis approaches. Data was collected using questionnaires and various literature reviews were carried out. The findings showed that IT usage and IT reliance collectively explain 26.5% of the variance in Efficiency and Transparency in public procurement, as indicated by the R Square value of .265.  The regression coefficient results lead to the rejection of both null hypotheses, indicating that both IT usage and IT reliance have significant effects on Efficiency and Transparency in public procurement. With p-values of 0.027 and 0.000, respectively, for IT usage and IT reliance, both are found to be statistically significant at the 0.05 level. This study concludes that IT plays a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency and transparency of public procurement processes, highlighting the importance of continued investment and integration of IT solutions in procurement practices to promote good governance and accountability. This study recommended that the government should Invest in IT Infrastructure, Enhance IT Training and Capacity Building, Ensure Data Security and Privacy, Monitor and Evaluate IT Performance and Promote Stakeholder Engagement in order to achieve efficiency and transparency in public procurement processes. By embracing the recommendations derived from this study, Kenya has the opportunity to navigate challenges and harness the potential of technology for a future marked by efficiency, transparency, and resilience in public procurement. The study aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and its outcomes contribute to the broader discourse on leveraging technology for positive transformations in public procurement practices.
Understanding Trademark Likelihood of Confusion: Unfair Competition in a Digital Era
Authors: Jintcharadze Nukri
Published: May 2024

The development of the digital economy have increased risks of unfair competition using inappropriate or obviously false advertising of trademarks through social media. This, however, has erased legal ambiguity regarding the assessment of comparators of the trademarks before confusion for establishing unfair competition through the social networks. The paper distributes comparative research on distinguishing “legal name" and "commercial name” of trademarks before confusion when used for advertising purposes. While legal name is less relevant for the consumer, the commercial name under which undertaking operates on the market is a crucial element for establishing unfair competition. Accordingly, the paper through analytical research focuses on examining the rule of necessity of the cumulative presence of three established comparators: visual, phonetic, and semantic. Also, confusion between trademarks through the prism of unfair competition legislation can arise even without the presence of all these elements. The article provides suggestions to redefine legislative connotations of legal name and commercial name in respective statutory acts. It also recommends amending the notion of misleading commercial practice in Directive 2005/29/EC as the presence of the likelihood of one of the comparator autonomously creates confusion with any products, trademarks, trade names or other distinguishing marks of a competitor. As for Directive 2006/114/EC, it should be determined that in cases of misleading and comparative advertising, confusion may arise due to the presence of the likelihood of one of the comparators solely.

L’agriculture contribue au processus de développement économique et social de la commune de Zè. Aujourd’hui, la production agricole est confrontée à la problématique de la main-d’œuvre dans cette localité. La présente recherche vise à étudier la pénurie de la main-d’œuvre et les stratégies d’adaptation dans la commune de Zè. La méthodologie adoptée dans le cadre de cette recherche s’articule autour de la collecte des données, du traitement des données et de l’analyse des résultats. La recherche documentaire et les enquêtes de terrain ont été les techniques de collecte des données. Les outils utilisés pour cela sont un questionnaire, un guide d’entretien et une grille d’observation. 160 personnes ont été enquêtées. Les résultats révèlent que dans la commune de Zè, les producteurs utilisent plusieurs types de main-d’œuvre. La main-d’œuvre familiale représente 70 %. Les producteurs ont recours aussi à la main-d’œuvre extérieure sous différentes formes pour les travaux agricoles. Ce type de main-d’œuvre représente de 30 %. Deux formes de recours à la main-d’œuvre extérieure se distinguent : l’entraide avec 5 % et le salariat avec 25 %. Dans la commune, selon 70 % des producteurs enquêtés, il y a l’insuffisance de la main-d’œuvre familiale, la rareté de la main-d’œuvre salariée surtout en période des travaux agricoles. Cette situation entraine le retard dans l’exécution des différentes opérations culturales (défrichage, labour, semis, sarclage, récolte). Les producteurs agricoles développent plusieurs stratégies d’adaptation à cette pénurie de main-d’œuvre.
 
Agriculture contributes to the economic and social development of the commune of Zè. Today, agricultural production is confronted with the problem of labor in this locality. The aim of this research is to study the labor shortage and coping strategies in the commune of Zè. The methodology adopted for this research revolves around data collection, data processing and results analysis. Documentary research and field surveys were the techniques used to collect data. The tools used were a questionnaire, an interview guide and an observation grid. 160 people were surveyed. The results show that in the commune of Zè, growers use several types of labor. Family labor accounts for 70%. Producers also use outside labor in various forms for farm work. This type of labor accounts for 30%. Two types of outside labor stand out: mutual aid (5%) and salaried work (25%). In the commune, according to 70% of producers surveyed, there is a shortage of family labor and a scarcity of hired labor, especially during the farming season. This situation leads to delays in the execution of various cultivation operations (clearing, ploughing, sowing, weeding, harvesting). Farmers have developed several strategies to adapt to this labor shortage.
Pornography Addiction: Conceptual and Methodological Approaches in the Post-Pandemic Era. Mini-Review
Authors: Sancho-Cantus David
Published: May 2024

The significant increase in pornography consumption observed in recent years has generated a growing interest in its investigation. Matters such as what constitutes use, abuse, or addiction are central to its comprehension, both initially and subsequently in the therapeutic context. This mini review delves into the current status of the issue of pornography addiction, providing an overview of the primary challenges related to its conceptual framework, assessment, and treatment. To date, published studies have yielded inconsistent results, likely due to the lack of consensus in their conclusions. This disorder has not yet been included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). However, it has recently been incorporated into the 11th edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). This review outlines as future directions in this regard, the standardization of existing definitions concerning pornography addiction, the exploration of available methodological instruments for its assessment, and the examination of therapeutic approaches and their effectiveness in the treatment of this addiction.
BAY‘AH: IDEOLOGI PEMERSATU DAN NEGOSIASI MASYARAKAT DI RUANG PUBLIK
Authors: Sumardi Dedi
Published: May 2024

Abstract: This article aims to analyse the rise of bay‘a. It is often perceived ofthe seed of early civilised society after passing through a series of negotiationinvolving primordial and territorial interests. Theoretically, ba‘ya is a form ofrelationship between religion and the state that integrate citizens regardlesstheir race, ethnicity and colour in a public space. This article argues that Islamappears to be the pioneer of the concept of unity in public space, which wasalways in a state of competition leading to tensions and conflicts on the groundof primordial identities. The bay‘a was exactly a response to such tensionon public space. It promotes “awareness of plurality” to combat horizontalconflict between race and ethics. In the global context, this awareness is partof the argument of legal pluralism to analyse several primordial interests,and also to prevent social conflict. So, plural identities can be unified by Islamthrough bay‘a as a concept whose realization is able to unify plural society inpublic domains.

PENERAPAN RESTORATIVE JUSTICE TERHADAP PELAKU TINDAK PIDANA YANG DILAKUKAN OLEH ANAK DI BAWAH UMUR DALAM SISTEM HUKUM PIDANA INDONESIA DAN HUKUM ISLAM
Authors: A Alfitra
Published: May 2024

Children are legally defined different from adults because they areentitled to different rights and obligations according to law. Law 11/2012 onthe Criminal Justice System considers children as gift from God Almightywho has dignity as human beings. To protect such dignity and status, childrenare entitled to a special protection in the judicial system. The protectionof children is part of the National Development. Protecting children is toprotect human beings. Regarding criminal law enforcement, the restorativejustice is an approach to solving criminal matters involving victims, offenders,and community elements for the creation of a justice. The criminal justicesystem specifically for children must have a specific purpose for the benefitof the future of children and the community that it contains the principles ofrestorative justice. Although the definition of restorative justice is not unified,because it has a lot of variety of models and forms, it is useful to use to resolvelegal problems concerning children.

Life cycle climate performance of urban plant factory versus rural greenhouse under China’s power-grid decarbonization: considering short-lived methane and nitrous oxide emissions
Authors: Cheng Yunlai , Song Guobao , Liu Xiaoyang , Batlle-Bayer Laura , Fullana-i-Palmer Pere
Published: May 2024

Plant factories can potentially enhance the climate resilience of urban vegetable production by reducing the losses from climate hazards but generate high climate burdens - due to consuming carbon-intensive power generated by coal combustion with upstream methane emissions - unlike rural traditional sunlight greenhouses with nitrous oxide emissions. Here, we compared the life cycle Global Warming Potential (GWP) and Technical Warming Potential (TWP) metrics of lettuce production by plant factory and greenhouse, and explored the effect of power grid decarbonization on the climate performance of the cultivations. Results show that in the baseline scenario using the southern Chinese grid, the 100-year GWP of plant factory cultivation (14.9 kgCO2e kg-1) is over 50 times higher than that of the greenhouse (0.27 kgCO2e kg-1). The nitrous oxide emissions contribute 14% to the GWP of greenhouse, while methane contributes 16% to that of plant factories, which can be reduced to ~4% under a high grid decarbonization scenario in 2050. Electricity consumption (fertilizer and polyethylene film applications) shares 43%-99% (80%-89%) of the GWP of plant factory (greenhouse) cultivations. Grid decarbonization decreases the TWP metrics over time, meaning a rising climate advantage for plant factories. However, plant factories still fail to compete with greenhouses in mitigating climate change (with TWP ranging from 5-66), except if hydropower were fully deployed. Our findings add knowledge about climate-friendly and resilient vegetable supplies under China’s grid decarbonization efforts.
A High Dimensional and High Sigma Statistical Model for SRAM Read Access Yield Estimation
Authors: Zhang Dong Xu , Li Gang Lu , Yan Si Rui
Published: May 2024

High dimensional statistical analysis for the yield of large-scale circuits is quite difficult due to expensive simulations, especially for the memory circuits with high sigma requirement (e.g., SRAM). In this paper, we developed an efficient sparse additive model to substitute simulations. To fit high sigma region accurately, the modeling center is moved to near failure boundary searched by scaling the shape of sampling function. To solve the model efficiently, the process variables are grouped by standard cells so that the model can be solved by our developed blockwise greedy algorithm. The experiments on the 28nm memory circuits validate that our method achieves high accuracy and efficiency compared with other state-of-art works.
Quantum Cosmology: The Integration of Special Relativity and Quantum Mechanics Part I
Authors: Kahan Dennis
Published: May 2024

“For me then this is the real problem with quantum theory: the apparently essential conflict between any sharp formulation and fundamental relativity. That is to say, we have an apparent incompatibility, at the deepest level, between the two fundamental pillars of contemporary theory...” J. S. Bell (2004, p. 171) The inability to delineate a unified physical ontology that accounts simultaneously for the laws of special relativity and the results of quantum experiments has been a defining problem in physics for more than 100 years. Although various primitive ontologies (including Bohmian pilot wave, spontaneous collapse, and objective collapse theories) along with wave function realism ontologies, many-worlds interpretations, and multi-field theories address the tension between special relativity and quantum mechanics, none has successfully resolved it. This analysis addresses the problem by positing an ontic, mixed ontology composed of a “discrete” 4D spacetime and a physical, ultra-high dimensional (3 x N) “Planck Space.” Together, Planck Space and the three spatial dimensions of 4D spacetime form a tightly integrated ((3 x N) + 3) hyperspace (the “Dual Ontology”). 4D spacetime’s three spatial dimensions and the N dimensions of Planck Space are composed of two substructures: discrete, three-dimensional, quantized units of space ("Planck Spheres") and an ontic State of Absolute Nothingness (the "SOAN") whose sole physical characteristic is onticness. Critically, the Dual Ontology’s structure replaces 1) the continuous, differentiable manifold of 4D spacetime with a discrete 4D spacetime and 2) mathematical 3N configuration spaces with a physical (3 x N) Planck Space. Moreover, structurally and dynamically, the Dual Ontology is predicated on the one-to-one mapping and identity between the Planck Spheres that simultaneously form 4D spacetime and Planck Space. The one-to-one mapping and identity physically and theoretically support an integrated quantum dynamics based upon the dynamic evolution of single and N-body quantum states in 4D spacetime in full compliance with the laws of special relativity and the instantaneous collapse of all quantum states in an ontic Planck Space, where special and general relativity and more generally, 4D spacetime’s laws of physics, do not apply.

Weighted Ranked Set Sampling for Skew Distributions
Authors: Bhoj Dinesh S , Chandra Girish
Published: May 2024

Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) is a useful technique for improving the estimator of population mean when the sampling units in a study can be easily ranked than the actual measurement. RSS performs better than simple random sampling (SRS) when the mean of units corresponding to each rank is used. The performance of RSS can be increased further by assigning weights to the ranked observations. In this paper, we propose weighted RSS procedures to estimate the population mean of positively skew distributions. It is shown that the gain in the relative precisions of the population mean for chosen distributions are uniformly higher than those based on RSS. The gains in relative precisions are substantially high. Further, the relative precisions of our estimator are slightly higher than the ones based on Neyman’s optimal allocation model for small sample sizes. Moreover, it is shown that, the performance of the proposed estimator increases as the skewness increases by using the example of lognormal family of distributions.

LA ADOPCIÓN DE LEGISLACIONES INTERNACIONALES Y LOS INCENTIVOS PERVERSOS LOCALES
Authors: Ontiveros Jiménez Manuel
Published: May 2024

En 2015 se revirtió la tendencia decreciente en la tasa de homicidios intencionales que había iniciado en 2011. Este fenómeno coincidió con la etapa final de implementación del Código Nacional de Procedimientos Penales (CNPP), sustentado en la Reforma Constitucional de 2008. En este trabajo se propone que dicha reforma, el CNPP, así como la Reforma Constitucional en materia de Derechos Humanos de 2011 y de la Ley Nacional de Ejecución Penal (LNEP) de 2016, contribuyeron a crear incentivos perversos en el control y reducción del crimen, al propiciar una mayor impunidad y eliminar la continuidad de las políticas públicas contra el crimen y la violencia de las administraciones federales anteriores. El objetivo de este trabajo es probar la hipótesis de que la reducción en el número de prisioneros, generado por la legislación señalada, ha provocado un incremento significativo en el índice de homicidios intencionales por cada 100 mil habitantes. La metodología usada consiste en estimar el efecto de los cambios en la población privada de la libertad (como variable explicativa) sobre la tasa de homicidios por cada 100 mil habitantes (como variable dependiente), en los logaritmos naturales, por MCO. En los resultados se obtuvo un coeficiente de -1.9897, que significa que, durante el periodo de estudio de 2010 a 2020, una reducción del 1 % en la población privada de la libertad provoca un aumento en 2 % de la tasa de homicidios intencionales. Conclusiones. Para tratar de replicar legislaciones, reformas y políticas en temas complejos, donde el comportamiento de las personas sea una variable relevante es necesario realizar las evaluaciones de impacto, como las que el CONEVAL señala ante la construcción de obras de infraestructura, o las que se realizan en programas sociales.

The research used a qualitative descriptive method of the Collaborative Governance theory approach according to Ansell and Gash (2007) as an analytical study in this research. The data collection techniques are through interviews, documentation, and literature study. The results of the research show that the management of the Setu Babakan Betawi Cultural Village has been running effectively, judging from the initial conditions, institutional design, facilitative leadership, and collaboration processes which have produced a collaboration model in the Setu Babakan Betawi Cultural Village. This is due to the influence of resource factors, institutional forms, government programs, and private sector participation. Some challenges must be addressed in maximizing the management of the Setu Babakan village and the limitations of the UPKPB's institutional functions as a regional organizational work unit which is under the authority of the Culture Service. This limits several functions and authorities to support development in the Setu Babakan Betawi cultural village.

Pariwisata menjadi kebutuhan setiap orang, pelayanan wisata menjadi hak semua orang termasuk bagi penyandang disabilitas terutama pada seseorang dengan disabilitas tuna daksa, tetapi pada faktanya industri pariwisata masih mengabaikan konsep ramah disabilitas terutama pada segi penyediaan fasilitas. Konsep Tourism for All merupakan konsep yang dibuat pada tahun 1989 di Inggris dengan menargetkan industri pariwisata terutama kepada para operator untuk meningkatkan kualitas suatu produk wisata dengan menawarkan produk wisata sesuai dengan ekspetasi berupa kenyamanan, atraksi dan keamanan terutama pada orang-orang yang berkebutuhan khusus. Kajian Pengembangan Homestay Berbasis Ramah Disabilitas Tuna Daksa di Pulau Pari bertujuan untuk memperluas segmentasi wisatawan yang berkunjung ke Pulau Pari dengan melihat potensi pengembangan homestay yang dapat diterapkan dengan menggunakan Konsep Rumah Ramah Disabilitas Tuna Daksa. Dalam penelitian metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif yaitu memaparkan objek sebagaimana adanya sesuai dengan kondisi saat peneliti melakukan penelitian. Dari hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa homestay yang ada di Pulau Pari masih dikatakan kurang ramah untuk penyandang disabilitas terutama disabilitas tuna daksa dikarenakan masih terdapat kekurangan dalam penyediaan fasilitas khusus bagi pengguna kursi roda seperti tidak ada akses ramp, hand rail, dan lainnya. Berdasarkan kekurangan diatas maka diperlukan adanya standarisasi dan penyesuaian fasilitas homestay yang ramah bagi penyandang disabilitas khususnya  tuna daksa.

Continuous and impactful education is considered essential for the creation of the 2045 Golden Generation focused on quality education as one of the main pillars alongside economic equality and development. Educators with integrity and adequate competence in their respective fields and expertise are expected to produce a generation with outstanding potential, and capable of enhancing Indonesia's reputation on the international stage. The mismatch between competencies and the demands of Human Resources (HR) needs can significantly affect the quality of teaching. This Community Service Program is focused on achieving maximum results for students by enhancing the quality of educators to meet the Learning Achievement standards in the Independent Curriculum for English, Entrepreneurship, and Project Creative subjects through a training program titled "Young Learners Entrepreneurship" for elementary school teachers. A qualitative descriptive method is applied using interview techniques, classroom observations, and documentation to obtain primary data so that the program can have the greatest impact and benefit for the selected school partner. Hopefully, this community service's results can improve teachers' competencies and boost their confidence when teaching subjects beyond their expertise. This, in turn, allows the involvement of educational technology applications to continue in future service activities.

This study focuses on identifying high school students' skills in interpreting kinematics graphs of linear motion. The research was implemented by quantitative method to 70 students. The data collection technique was carried out by giving a direct test of 26 multiple choice questions adopted from TUG-K. The students' skills identification was reviewed based on three basic graphing skills, the results showed that 39% of students were skilled in reading graphs directly, 47% of students were skilled in interpreting the slope/gradient of the line and 37% of students were skilled in interpreting the area under the curve. This study found that students did not have full graphing skills. In the case of transforming one graph to another that requires a combination of two or more basic skills, the percentage success score decreased, 37% in the combination of basic skills 1-2 and 31% in the combination of 1-3. The combination of basic skills that requires a more complex thinking process is the main reason for students' failure to answer the questions correctly. The results of this study can be the basis of information for further research in improving students' skills in linear motion graphs.
La traducción automática de los referentes culturales
Authors: Rico Pérez Celia
Published: May 2024

Los referentes culturales constituyen uno de los grandes desafíos para la traducción automática (TA). Pese a existir numerosos estudios ad hoc acerca de esta herramienta, la magnitud de casos en los que se puede aplicar excede los límites de las investigaciones actuales. La TA de las manifestaciones culturales propias de una lengua se enmarca dentro los campos poco explorados hasta el momento. En consecuencia, se muestra la necesidad de revisar los métodos de evaluación que a menudo se emplean para determinar la validez de las traducciones hechas por la máquina y aplicarlo al caso de estos referentes, con especial incidencia en el ámbito migratorio. En esta línea, el artículo presenta una propuesta metodológica para la evaluación basada fundamentalmente en datos cualitativos sobre la fluidez, la precisión y la aceptabilidad de las traducciones automáticas, a los que se añaden datos cuantitativos sobre la percepción de estos mismos criterios. En primer lugar, se contextualizan los referentes culturales en el marco de la TA y la inteligencia artificial. A continuación, se presentan los diferentes métodos de evaluación de evaluación automática y manual, con la definición de una metodología específica para la evaluación de los referentes culturales. Con el fin de ilustrar cómo se puede llevar a la práctica esta metodología, se muestra un caso de evaluación de referentes culturales mediante un estudio exploratorio llevado a cabo con textos administrativos del ámbito migratorio.

Approximately 50% of pancreatic cancer patients are diagnosed as stage IV with poor prognosis and show treatment resistance to conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy and recently developed immunotherapy. Therefore, there is an urgent need in developing novel treatment options for pancreatic cancer patients and examine them by using proper preclinical models. Murine orthotopic tumor model is generated by seeding murine cancer cell lines or patient-derived cancer cells into the relevant organ of tumor origin. Significance of the orthotopic pancreatic cancer model have been highlited since it can be easily generated compared to GEMM(Genetically engineered mouse models) and represent more clinical relevance than subcutaneous model. Here, we described how to create the murine orthotopic pancreatic cancer model.
