Authors:   Universitas Islam Negeri Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin Banten, Indonesia, Muawanah Uyu
Published: December 2023

This study aims to investigate the impact of Cooperative Learning Method on learning motivation and academic achievement among elementary school students in Indonesia. Employing a quantitative research design, Likert scale-based questionnaires were distributed directly to students to measure learning motivation, while academic achievement was assessed through examination scores. The study found significant positive relationships between the Cooperative Learning Method and both learning motivation and academic achievement. Moreover, learning motivation emerged as a crucial mediator, partially explaining the observed positive influence on academic achievement. The theoretical contribution lies in enhancing our understanding of the intricate dynamics between instructional methods, motivation, and academic outcomes. From a practical standpoint, the study suggests that educators and policymakers should prioritize the implementation of Cooperative Learning Methods and focus on cultivating and sustaining students' motivation to learn. However, it is crucial to acknowledge the study's limitations, including its regional focus and reliance on self-reported measures. Future research could expand the scope and incorporate diverse contexts, employing mixed-methods approaches for a more comprehensive exploration of these relationships.

Introduction: Article 33 paragraph (1), 52 of the United Nations Charter and Article 2 paragraph 2 letter (f) of the ASEAN Charter provide space for International Law to be involved in efforts to resolve Dispute Problems (Coup) by using an approach to protecting human rights that involves a State but in fact until now International Law has never participated in efforts to resolve the Government Conflict which was taken through the Coup on the State of Myanmar.Purposes of the Research:To examine or analyze the coup in the perspective of International Law and to examine and discuss the legitimacy or legality of government through a coup.Methods of the Research: The research method used is normative juridical research, the type of research is descriptive analytical. The sources of legal materials used are primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. The technique of collecting legal materials used in this research is through literature study. The analysis of legal materials is descriptive qualitative.Research Results: The results showed that: 1). International Law on Change of Government through Coup has never been regulated in detail because it is part of the rights of a State that cannot be interfered with in the internal affairs of its State, but an insistence can be made to become a place of negotiation and mediation for both parties who are fighting for power by using the UN Charter. Article 1, Article 2, Article 33 paragraph 1 and Article 52 as well as the ASEAN Charter Article 1 and Article 2 paragraph 2 letter (f) are related to the Protection of Human Rights. 2). The legality of the government obtained through a coup until now has never been specifically regulated in international law, but when viewed from the point of view of the birth of a country, namely 1. the existence of a government, 2. territory, 3 inhabitants, and 4. recognition from other countries. The legality of the government obtained through the coup d'etat can be said to be valid if it gets recognition from other countries (which in this case is part of (State Politics) in International Relations).

Tekstil sanatının plastik sanatlar içerisinde yer edinmesi, giyilebilir sanatın ortaya çıkışına zemin hazırlayan Arts&Crafts, Art Nouveau ve Bauhaus ekolü gibi sanat hareketlerinin öğretisiyle yüksek sanat statüsüne erişebilmenin gücünün el emeğine verilen değerin yeniden yaşatılmaya başlanması ile olmuştur. Tekstil yüzeylerinde manipülasyon uygulamaları zanaat süreçlerinin yoğun olduğu, birçok tekstil tekniğinin uygulama bilgi ve becerisini gerektiren çalışmalardır. Yüzey manipülasyonlarının bu yönü zanaatın sanattan ayrı tutulamayacağını savunan giyilebilir sanat felsefesi ile yakın ilişki içerisindedir. Manipülasyonda kullanılan geleneksel tekstil teknikleri ve deneysel yöntemler, giyilebilir sanatın el emeğini yücelten görüşüne de hizmet etmektedir. Giyilebilir sanatın geçmiş ve güncel yaklaşımları dikkate alındığında sanatsal giyimin en önemli noktalarından birinin de ortaya konan eserde kurgulanan hikayesel anlatı ve kavramsallık yönü olduğu ortaya çıkmaktadır. Tekstil sanatçılarının yüksek sanat statüsündeki giyim eserleri bakıldığında, bir sanatçı ve tuvali gibi izleyiciye verilmek istenen mesaj kaygısıyla oluşturdukları kavramsallık ile yüzey tasarımlarını kurgulamaktadırlar. Yüzey üzerinde el işi ve karışık teknik çalışmalarına ağırlık verdikleri ve giysi formlarında ise yüzeyi tuval gibi en iyi yansıtan “T” biçimli kimono formunu tercih ettikleri görülmektedir. Bu doğrultuda yürütülen çalışmada, kullanılan teknikler sanatçı ve tasarımcıların manipülasyon yüzeyleri üzerinden incelenmiş, yüzey üzerinde kurguladıkları hikayeler irdelenmiş ve sergilemede tercih edilen giysi formları üzerinde durulmuştur. Sanatsal giyim uygulamalarında serbest teknik ile başlanılan manipülasyon çalışmaları ilerleyen süreçte belirlenen tema özelinde yürütülmüş, deneysel tekniklere ağırlıklı olarak yer verilmiş ve kumaş tercihleri de tamamen hikaye özelliklerine uygun olacak şekilde planlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda çalışmada ortaya konan uygulamalarda amaç, manipülasyonda kullanılan tekstil tekniklerini yüzey üzerinde karışık teknik yöntemiyle hikayesel bir tasarım haline dönüştürmek ve giyilebilir sanat formlarına uygun, deneysel kalıp süreçleriyle, mümkün olan en az kesik ve dikiş kullanımıyla yüzey tasarımına müdahale etmeden sunmak olmuştur.

Published: December 2023

Skin cancer, the fifth most frequent malignancy worldwide, burdens global health and the economy. Skin cancer rates have increased due to rapid environmental change, indus-trialization, and genetic alteration. This work introduces deep learning on dermatological pictures to identify skin cancer. We gathered 18274 skin photos, both cancerous and not. Scaling, augmenting, and normalizing data provided model robustness. Our skin cancer detection model employs CNNs and LSTMs. We retrieved skin characteristics using the InceptionResNetV2 pre-trained model to enhance discriminative feature learning. Batch normalization and dropout layers prevented overfitting. Our model performed well in training epochs using optimization callbacks. The accuracy was 93.41%, AUC 85.09%, precision 94.03%, and recall 99.10%. However, the model included 211 false positives and 30 negatives. These results show the model can identify skin cancer. These studies show that deep learning systems can diagnose skin cancer. The model’s accuracy and low false positive rate help dermatologists and healthcare providers. This technology may improve skin cancer detection and treat-ment by reducing manual diagnostic subjectivity and accelerating assessments.

Published: December 2023

Throughout crises and financial prosperity, the role and influence of small and medium supply chain enterprises (SMEs) have been solid and key factors for the economic growth of global markets. Hence, a great need arises for digital promotion to keep up with recent technological advancements. Such an aim could be achieved by SMEs in the supply chain by optimizing the results of their websites in search engines and utilizing the digital content (DC) of their web pages. This research is focused on the optimization of supply chain SMEs’ search engine results from the efficient management of their DC. The authors collected big data from the DC of five supply chain SMEs’ websites and performed statistical analysis (correlation and linear regression analysis), followed by six fuzzy cognitive mapping simulation scenarios. Supply chain SMEs’ customers enter their website and are found capable of producing DC metrics, originating from their interaction with the webpage, which is valuable for supply chain SMEs since they impact the performance of their search engine results. The outcomes of this study indicate that specific DC metrics, related to website customers’ activity, can accurately simulate and predict the course of supply chain SMEs’ digital marketing performance KPIs (global rank, organic, and paid traffic). It has been discerned that supply chain SMEs could enhance their search engine results, by increasing traffic originating from social sources, organic keywords, and the costs required for paid advertising campaigns. Accordingly, the increased number of pages opened by website visitors also indicates enhanced search engine results.

Public libraries in the social inclusion of forced migrants in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area
Authors: Serra Sofia , Revez Jorge
Published: December 2023

The social inclusion of forced migrants includes responding to their information needs. This investigation seeks to analyze public librarians' perceptions of the role of public libraries in such process. The research framework is the constructivist paradigm and uses the case study method to, through the semi-directive interview technique, investigate sixteen municipal public libraries in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area. The results highlight that forced migrants are not identified users of these libraries. However, public librarians equate them to economic migrants in informational needs and behaviors, highlighting the importance of free internet access, the resources in foreign languages, the Portuguese language courses, and the help to interact with online platforms. As shortcomings, there are few Portuguese courses for foreigners, limited practice in job search, housing and inclusive collaboration with schools, and limitations in terms of space and human and financial resources. These difficulties can be overcome with the motivation to fulfil the public library's inclusive social mission, its universal accessibility and informal environment, and the promotions of cohesion and social capital. While the mission of libraries fits the purpose of forced migrants’ inclusion, the education and training of librarians could be improved. It is recommended that the public libraries increase their proactivity and collaboration with existing inclusion networks. In conclusion, this research aims to raise awareness of the urgency of developing a strategic plan for Portuguese public libraries for the social inclusion of forced migrants, and to promote its institutional and social legitimacy.

Four filters related to the education mentioned above levels were applied, with the data worked in Excel dynamic spreadsheets. The results show a predominant profile of white cisgender women between 36 and 40 years old, working in federal higher education institutions, earning above R$10,454.00, with experience in the area between 11 and 15 years. The geographical concentration is in Rio de Janeiro, and the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro has the highest number of graduates who continued their studies in stricto sensu post-graduation. However, the Federal University of Santa Catarina has the highest number of master’s and doctor’s respondents. The research objective was achieved to the extent that it presents the profile from the socioeconomic aspects, academic training, and professional performance. We hope that other studies will be conducted using the dynamics of filters provided by the Brazilian Library and Information Science Census so that the government, universities, class entities, and the area itself will better know its profile.

Published: December 2023

By measuring the voltage drop on the fuses in vehicles with a multimeter and using the fuse voltage drop cards, it is possible to determine the current drawn by the load based on the color, type, and current value listed on the fuse label. Arduino is a family of microcontroller development devices that are utilized in numerous digital system design applications. In this study, a fuse current analyzer is proposed for measuring the voltage drop across the fuses in a vehicle using an Arduino development board and obtaining the load current. The developed current analyzer can be utilized in automotive electricity and electronics courses, circuit studies, and for determining whether the fuse value on vehicles is sufficient and detecting load current leakage. The proposed system is tested on vehicle fuses, and an approximate 4% mean error rate is determined. This system can be used to perform tests in automotive electrical laboratories, or it can be implemented in the classroom to give students hands-on experience.

Published: December 2023

The ability to act ethically is essential for providing high-quality treatment, yet there is a dearth of qualitative research on healthcare practitioners' perceptions of ethical competence. In this study, the ethical competence of healthcare practitioners was examined in the context of student healthcare. The way healthcare is delivered is changing, calling for adjustments to descriptions of and frameworks for ethical leadership. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationships between various leadership styles and healthcare professionals' conceptions of and attitudes toward work ethics. Participants in a cross-sectional study that employed the snowball sampling technique were healthcare professionals. The survey used in this study was divided into two sections: the first section collected data on the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants, and the second section contained three validated assessment scales, including inquiries about work ethics, ethical attitudes for public health professionals, and leadership abilities. Higher work ethics and a higher intrinsic work motivation subscale were significantly correlated with high leadership administrative skills (Beta = 6.04, p = 0.019 and Beta = 2.55, p 0.001, respectively). However, a lower intrinsic work motivation subscale was associated with higher leadership conceptual skills (Beta = 1.07, p = 0.027). Stronger leadership and administrative skills were found to be significantly correlated with higher ethical attitudes scores (Beta = 28.39, p 0.001). The work ethic in the delivery of various public health services is significantly improved by higher administrative leadership. Leadership abilities can considerably predict an individual's ethical attitude and professional behavior and are not restricted to a particular profession, experience, or stage of a person's career in the healthcare industry
