Understanding Proton Transfer in Non-aqueous Biopolymers based on Helical Peptides: A Quantum Mechanical Study
Authors: Bian Jiang , Cruz Anthony , Lopez-Morales Gabriel , Kyrylenko Anton , McGregor Donna , Lopez Gustavo
Published: January 2022

Histidine (an imidazole-based amino acid) is a promising building block
for short aromatic peptides containing a proton donor/acceptor moiety.
Previous studies have shown that polyalanine helical peptides
substituted at regular intervals with histidine residues exhibit both
structural stability as well as high proton affinity and high
conductivity. Here, we present first-principle calculations of
non-aqueous histidine-containing 310-,  and -helices and show that
they are able to form hydrogen-bonded networks mimicking proton wires
that have the ability to shuttle protons via the Grotthuss shuttling
mechanism. The formation of these wires enhances the stability of the
helices, and our structural characterizations confirm that the secondary
structures are conserved despite distortions of the backbones. In all
cases, the helices exhibit high proton affinity and proton transfer
barriers on the order of 1~4 kcal/mol. Zero-point energy
calculations suggest that for these systems, ground state vibrational
energy can provide enough energy to cross the proton transport energy
barrier. Additionally, ab initio molecular dynamics results suggests
that the protons are transported unidirectionally through the wire at a
rate of approximately 2 Å every 20 fs. These results demonstrate that
efficient deprotonation-controlled proton wires can be formed using
non-aqueous histidine-containing helical peptides.
University versus the Academy
Authors: Karamihova Margarita , Antova Svetlana V
Published: January 2022

The article focuses on a conceptual difference between the institutes of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and Bulgarian Universities. University lecturers must be internationally recognizable with their research results and constantly master modern teaching methods and technologies. Scientists in the academy make efforts to follow the scientific tendencies, but have virtually no opportunity to go beyond academic forums and to socialize their scientific results. In the example of research and teaching of Ethnology, the lack of opportunity for young scientists from the academy to be prepared for teaching at different university degrees isconsidered. The positive and negative aspects of the Erasmus academic exchange program (as an opportunity for getting some fractional lecturing experience) is discussed in the terms of teaching experience. We also present the first and only project, held few years ago in Bulgaria, aiming to prepare young scientists from the Academy to teach Ethnology at a university.
Practicing Anthropology in Greece: Knowledge, Skills and Rights in the Labour Market
Authors: Angelidou Aliki , Balandina Alexandra , Kolovos Konstantinos
Published: January 2022

In this paper we explore which kind of knowledge and skills developed by anthropology students through higher education are applied in the Greek labour market and how they are received by different professional sectors, such as central and local administration, private companies or NGOs. We also examine how professional rights of social anthropologists are being established, creating academic qualifications, lobbies and competitive relations among anthropology and other relevant disciplines. Furthermore, we illustrate the birth and establishment of practicing anthropology in Greece as it is being practiced in civil society institutions, local and international governmental and non-governmental organizations, especially since a proportionally big number of anthropologists are being employed in this field due to the recent European refugee crisis and the state of emergency that it brought to Greece and Europe. Through our analysis we wish to show that during the last three decades anthropology is gradually becoming socially and politically relevant in Greece. This process has started with the integration of the country in the core of European Union institutions and through the coexistence with diverse populations of migrant origins. The popularity of anthropology has been accelerated by the economic and refugee crisis of the last decade that multiplied the numbers of anthropologists working in the humanitarian sector. The discipline seems thus to come of age, with academic teaching and practicing anthropology being increasingly intertwined.
Virtual Reality as a Proxy for Participant Observation in Introduction to Socio-Cultural Anthropology
Authors: Dulin John
Published: January 2022

This article details the piloting of a virtual reality activity in an introductory anthropology class at Utah Valley University. Anthropologists have only recently started exploring how VR technology can facilitate classroom learning. As Elzen (2018) writes, VR allows “students to immerse themselves much more than passively watching a video.” It is this immersive quality of the medium that makes it particularly useful for anthropological pedagogy.
The economic and social importance of saline soils and saltwaters during the Late Neolithic of the Pannonian Plain and the Central Balkans
Authors: Milanovic Dragan
Published: January 2022

The importance of salt in human and animal diets suggests that the local
resources of saline soils, watercourses, and marshes with saline water had
to be well known to past populations. Based on the analysis of the environs
of a large number of Late Neolithic and Early Eneolithic sites, this
research assumes the great importance of such resources. This paper examines
the spatial relationships between settlements and these resources, in the
example of five Late Neolithic settlements from the territories of the
Pannonian Plain and the Central Balkans. The goals of the research are to
provide an initial step in the reconstruction of potential locations for
salt exploitation, and provide a better understanding of each settlement
and, subsequently, its role and function in the local Neolithic settlement
system. The research considers previously published results of the
pedological analysis of the settlement environments and archaeological
investigations of the settlements. If certain micro-regions and regions did
not provide possibilities for the extraction of salt for both animal and
human utilisation, salt, and probably cattle, had to be procured through
exchange networks. However, if livestock could not be grazed in areas
abundant in salt, then salt would have to be added to the animals? diet. We
conclude that Late Neolithic settlements should not be observed in
isolation, but rather ?s parts of wider settlement systems including
exchange networks with salt as a major commodity. This represents one of the
crucial factors for the understanding of cultural development during the 5th
millennium BC.
The cult of goddess Fortuna in the Roman Central Balkans
Authors: Gavrilovic-Vitas Nadezda
Published: January 2022

The cult of the goddess Fortuna has been attested on the territory of Roman
provinces in the Central Balkans with numerous votive monuments, sculptures,
votive reliefs, statuettes and on glyptics. The goddess was particularly
popular among the army, but also venerated by administrative personnel,
merchants, freedmen, slaves and women. The epithets of the goddess imply
that she was honoured by her devotees as in other Roman provinces - mainly
as the goddess of good luck and chance, but also as the protectress of
transport, business, routes and perhaps in bathing facilities. Fortuna was
usually worshipped alone, but her pairing with the Egyptian goddess Isis as
the syncretistic deity Isis-Fortuna and her relationship with Genii, are
confirmed in different Central Balkans localities. The goddess Fortuna?s
sanctuaries can be presumed in the vicinity of Ulpiana, Nis, near Kumanovo
and probably in Viminacium, while her cult lasted from the 2nd to the last
decades of the 3rd century.

Published: January 2022

Background/Aim. Different surgical interventions have been proposed, including trabeculectomy associated with antiproliferative agents because silicone oil (SO) removal cannot necessarily provide intraocular pressure (IOP) control. The aim of the study was to determine the efficacy of trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC) for lowering IOP in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) secondary to emulsified SO after pars plana vitrectomy. Methods. A single-center, prospective study was conducted, from December 2014 to December 2019, on 56 consecutive patients with an uncontrolled elevation of IOP after SO removal who were subjected to trabeculectomy with mitomycin MMC in that period. The primary end-point was the IOP at the three-year follow-up visit. Complete surgical success was defined as an IOP ranging from 7 mmHg to 18 mmHg without glaucoma medication. Qualified success was defined a s I OP ? 2 1 m mHg with one or two topical medications. Results. Fifty-six patients with a mean age of 5 3.6 [standard deviation (SD)15.5] years had a mean baseline IOP of 42.3 (39.3 to 45.3) mmHg, which reduced to 18.6 (17.9 to 19.3) mmHg three years after surgery (p < 0.0001). Seventeen (30.4%) eyes were classified as a complete success, 21 (37,5%) as a qualified success, and 18 (32.1%) as a failure. In all successfully treated patients, the number of antiglaucoma medications was significantly reduced from 2.85 (SD 0.77) to 1.63 (SD 0.62), p < 0.0001. Conclusion. Trabeculectomy with MMC may be an option for lowering IOP in patients with OAG secondary to emulsified SO after pars plana vitrectomy, which was not controlled with maximum

Published: January 2022

Background/Aim. The prognostic impact of complete atrioventricular (AV) block on the long-term prognosis of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has not been fully determined. The aim of the study was to analyze the incidence and prognostic impact of complete AV block on in-hospital mortality (IHM) and 6-year mortality in STEMI patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods. The study included 3,044 consecutive STEMI patients. Results. Complete AV block was registered only on admission in 144 (4.73%) patients; 125 (86.8%) patients with complete AV block had inferior infarction. A temporary pacemaker was implanted in 72 (50%) patients with complete AV block. No patient under-went permanent pacemaker implantation. IHM was significantly higher in patients with complete AV block than in patients without complete A V b lock: 1 7.9% v s. 3 .6%, respectively, p < 0.001. In patients with heart block and inferior infarction, IHM was 13%, whereas IHM was 53% in patients with heart block and anterior infarction. When we analyzed patients discharged alive from the hospital, we also found a significantly higher long-term (6-year) mortality rate in those with complete AV block vs. patients without AV block: 7.8% vs. 3.4%, respectively, p < 0.001. Complete AV block was an independent predictor for IHM and 6-year mortality: IHM [odds ratio (OR) 2.94 95%, confidence interval (CI) 1.23?5.22; 6-year mortality hazard ratio (HR) 1.61, 95%, CI 1.10?2.37]. When subanalysis was performed in patients with inferior STEMI, complete AV block was an independent predictor of IHM and 6 -year mortality, while in patients with anterior STEMI, complete AV block was an independent predictor of IHM. Conclusion. In analyzed STEMI patients, complete AV block was transitory and was registered only on hospital admission. Although transitory, complete AV block remained a strong independent predictor of IHM and long-term mortality.

Authors: Dzudovic Boris , Dzudovic Jelena , Subotic Bojana , Obradovic Slobodan
Published: January 2022

Background/Aim. The role of antithrombin (AT) activity in predicting early mortality in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE), measured at an early stage of the disease, has not yet been investigated. Therefore, the aim of the study was to examine the predictive value of AT activity for all-cause 30-day mortality, measured in consecutive PE patients on admission to the hospital. Methods. This single-center clinical retrospective cross-sectional study followed consecutive patients with acute PE from 2014 to 2021. On admission to the hospital, venous blood was taken from patients for laboratory analyses including determination of AT activity. The basic parameters of the patients were recorded on admission, and through the univariate analysis, their connection with 30-day mortality was tested. The predictive significance of AT values for 30-day mortality was tested through quartile values by comparing the first quartile with all others together. Cox regression model analysis was used in the multivariate analysis where one parameter, marked as significant in the univariate analysis, was added to the basic model (AT, age, and risk affiliation in two groups). Results. A total of 378 PE patients were included in the study. The total all-cause 30-day mortality was 7.9% (30 patients). Patients with AT activity in the first quartile had significantly higher early mortality compared with those having AT activity in the other quartiles combined (log-rank p = 0.001). AT retained a significant predictive value for early mortality in the multivariate analysis despite the comorbidity present, which also significantly affected mortality. Conclusion. Low AT activity measured on admission in PE patients is a significant and independent predictor of 30-day mortality.

Learning activity during public activity restrictions at Muhammadiyah Elementary School, Taman Sub-district, Sidoarjo Regency, is carried out through online learning; however, teachers at SD Muhammadiyah Taman continue to face a number of challenges in this teaching and learning activity. This research aims to examine online learning implementation during the public activity restrictions. There are still many teachers who lack an understanding of science and technology, let alone old or traditional teachers who make online learning uninteresting. This research applied the survey research method. Data were collected using an open questionnaire accessible via Google Forms. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. There were 97 teachers at SD Muhammadiyah Taman who filled out the questionnaire. Based on the questionnaire responses, 70.1% had implemented online learning. The issue during online learning was that many students did not have their own mobile phones or laptops because their siblings were still using them for online learning or their parents were still using them for work, so teachers felt that the material presented could not be fully absorbed by the students. Meanwhile, parents struggled with not being able to control their children when learning at home, which differed from face-to-face learning at school

Published: January 2022

Corncob is abundantly available lignocellulosic biomass resources obtained from crops harvesting and found to be solid waste accumulation on a field. Less corncob is used as a solid fuel for cooking, and a more significant portion is vanished on the field by burning. Promisingly, corncob contains considerable cellulose as one value-added component potentially utilized as biomaterial or biofuel feedstock. However, the presence of lignin in natural lignocellulosic biomass results in recalcitrant structure and hinders cellulose accessibility. This study aimed to investigate microwave-assisted alkaline treatment to retain cellulose in the solid product while removing other impurities in corncob, especially hemicellulose and lignin. Sodium hydroxide was selected as a chemical with some variations in concentration. The chemical treatment was carried out under 400 W microwave power with various residence times and a 1:10 solid to liquor ratio. The cellulose content upgraded from 26.97% to 71.26% while reducing hemicellulose and lignin from 38.49% to 18.15% and 19.28% to 6.4%, respectively, on chemical treatment using 8% sodium hydroxide concentration for 20 minutes residence time. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis also confirmed the results. The treated corncob also increased its crystallinity from 30.11% to 52.91%.

Published: January 2022

Synthetic dyes waste from textile industries, produce of the problematic pollutants in wastewater. TiO2 based photocatalysis are materials that exhibit excellent absorption behavior for organic compounds in wastewater due it properties including nontoxicity, high photocatalysis degradation ability, and chemical stabilities. However, several challenges exist regarding TiO2 nanotubes pure applications for dyes degradation such as poor affinity, high band gap energy, and difficulty of recovery and easy to recombination so it would decrease effectiveness of the photocatalysis process. Therefore, more design and optimization testing need to be conducted on the treatment conditions in order to reach higher removal efficiencies with lower costs. The modified physical properties by adding metal dopant, nonmetal, and sensitizer significantly enhanced photocatalysis activity. These parameters, which affect photocatalysis activity on degrade dyes waste pollutants, are discussed in the current review. As a result, the photocatalysis becomes more expected, and encourages to further research development.  Keywords: TiO2, nanotubes, degradation, synthetic, dyes

Published: January 2022

Cassava stems were one of the largest agricultural by products in Indonesia, especially in Lampung Province. It is known that cassava stems have a fairly high lignocellulose content, especially cellulose which reaches 39.29%. The high cellulose content in cassava stems has great potential to be used as raw material for Nanocrystalline Cellulose (NCC). The preparation of nanocrystalline cellulose consists of four main stages, namely: pre-hydrolysis, delignification, bleaching, and acid hydrolysis. The pre-hydrolysis stage was carried out by boiling a solution of CH3COOH and cassava stem powder for 60 minutes at a temperature of 105oC. Cassava stem powder was then delignified using a 25% NaOH solution heated to a temperature of 105oC for 1 hour. The bleaching stage used a 3.5% NaOCl solution at a temperature of 50oC for 60 minutes and was carried out twice. The last step is acid hydrolysis using 2.5N HCl solution for 15 minutes at a temperature of 105oC, then the electromagnetic induction treatment is varied with temperature variations of 30oC, 50oC, and 70oC for 60 minutes. The prepared nanocrystalline cellulose were tested for lignocellulose, XRD and PSA. From the test results, the best variation of nanocrystal cellulose preparation was acid hydrolysis treatment with 70oC electromagnetic induction for 60 minutes, namely an increase in the percentage of cellulose 62.93%, crystallinity 90.68%, and an average particle size of 18.04µm with some particles measuring nanometers. From the results of the research, it was concluded that electromagnetic induction increased crystallinity and decreased the size of nanocrystalline cellulose.

Published: January 2022

Based on research conducted by PISA, the ability to solve problems and think critically of Indonesian students is still below the average score set by PISA. Problem based learning is one of the learning models recommended by the Ministry of Education and Culture to be applied in improving these abilities. However, the lack of problem-based learning that has been applied so far is the lack of use of media that can be used as support in learning activities, resulting in inconsistencies in the impact of problem-based learning in improving student skills. The importance of these skills for students to have in this era of the industrial revolution 4.0, makes educators have to be more creative and innovative in implementing learning. Therefore, this study aims at seeing efforts to improve problem solving skills and critical thinking skills through problem based integrated computer assisted instruction (CAI). This study used a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test control group design. The population in this study were undergraduate students of Mechanical Engineering Education, Padang State University. The instrument used in this research is a questionnaire which is used to see students' problem solving and critical thinking skills. The data analysis technique in this study is in accordance with the research hypothesis, where research hypotheses 1 and 2 use independent sample t-test and research hypothesis 3 uses MANCOVA. The research covered by his study is in line with higher education's continuing search for effective SCL approaches
Regional Head Election (Pilkada) Dispute Settlement in the Perspectives of Sociology of Islamic Law
Authors: Wagiyanto M
Published: January 2022

This article presents an alternative concept of resolving disputes over Regional Head Elections (Pilkada) from the perspectives of the sociology of Islamic Law. The aim is to find the possibility of obtaining better alternative dispute esolutions that meet the feelings of justice of the parties. Up to now, Pilkada dispute resolution always took the path of litigation (court), which ended in victory on the one side and defeat on the other side. Rarely, if ever, there is a dispute settlement that takes a non-litigation path to get a win-win solution. Even though there were no historical documents found in Islamic history on the Regional Head elections; But the absence of the document does not necessarily mean that Islam has no concept that can be used to solve humanitarian problems. As a religion characterized by rahmatan lil alamin (peace upon the world), Islam has a concept that can be applied to resolve disputes that refer to some principles originating from Syari'ah arguments, namely: al-Qur'an, al-Sunnah, Ijmā’ (agreement of the scholars), Qiyās (analogy), Maslahah Mursalah (benefit of society), and ‘Urf (community tradition).
Pawnshops in the Perspective of Islamic Law
Authors: Ilyas Rahmat
Published: January 2022

The development of the economy and the business world will always be followed by the development of the need for credit and the provision of credit facilities that always require collateral. This is for the security of the provision of credit in the sense that the loan received will be guaranteed by guarantee. In this context the importance of the guarantee institution lies. Pawn is a guarantee institution that has been very well known in people's lives in their efforts to get funds for various needs. Pawnshops is a state-owned enterprise in Indonesia whose core business is in the field of lending/loan services to the public on the basis of mortgage law. In Indonesia the legal basis of Pawnshop are: the MUI DSN fatwa No. 25 / DSN-MUI / III / 2002 dated June 26, 2002 concerning rahn which states that loans with mortgaged goods as collateral for debt in the form of rahn are permitted; the MUI DSN fatwa No.26 / DSN-MUI / III / 2002 concerning gold pawning; as well as the MUI DSN fatwa No. 68 / DSN-MUI / III / 2008 about rahn Tasjily

This study aims to reveal the position of the fatwa of the National Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI) in the national legal system as well as to learn how it is applied in the Bandar Lampung People's Credit Bank (BPRS) Bandar Lampung. The DSN-MUI fatwa was issued to avoid the different provisions made by the Sharia Supervisory Board (DPS) in each Islamic financial institution. With the DSN MUI fatwa, the provisions for all sharia economic actors will be the same so as to create legal order. This research found that the DSN MUI fatwa was not fully implemented in the activities carried out by the Bank. Where as, in the national legal system, the DSN MUI fatwa is considered as part of positive law and has become a law in concreto for judges and arbitrators in Basyarnas. Therefore it is imperative that all sharia financial institutions to fully implement all the existing provisions, not just in part.

Published: January 2022

This paper is motivated by the role of the university legal clinic under the spirit of implementing the third of university role in the field of community service. In practice, legal aid services at universities are not different from general aid agencies in general. One of the uniqueness of the university legal clinic program is the direct involvement of student paralegal in helping the clients to get legal aid services within the university and court. The student paralegal encounters various opportunities and challenges. The main opportunities, they have their passion and strong motivation to become justice fighters for justice seekers, while they have also the main challenges such as limited time, facilities, knowledge, and legal skills. However, the existence of student paralegal has proven to be very helpful for the clients not only in processing applications and registering cases in court but also in assisting clients in the form of consultation and legal assistance during non-litigation and litigation. Therefore, the university legal clinic program needs to be further strengthened and developed at PTKIN because it has proven positive implications for helping underprivileged people and justice seekers to get access to justice.
The Application of Emergency Concept Within the MUI Fatwa on Measles Rubella Vaccine Immunization
Authors: Sanusi Ahmad , Miftah Ahmad Harisul , Agustiana Ria
Published: January 2022

In contemporary religious fatwas, the term emergency (dharurat) often appears, such as health emergencies (dharurat al-shihhiyah), cultural civilization emergencies (dharurat al-tsaqafiyah), and so on, all of which are aimed at dealing with certain emergency issues that are really urgent (mulji'ah). This paper tries to analyze the MUI Fatwa Number 33 of 2018 concerning the Measles-Rubella Vaccine. According to LPPOM MUI, this vaccine contains an element that is considered haram (unlawful) in Islam. Because of this, the use of the vaccine raises the question of whether or not it is religiously permitted. After conducting a comprehensive study, MUI, through the MUI Fatwa Number 33 of 2018, stated that even though the Rubella Measles Vaccine contains haram elements, its use is permitted. This permission, as this research concludes, is based on reasons of emergency. Such because until now there has been no other vaccine that is classified as halal  (lawful) that can be used against the measles diseases. Thus, the use of the vaccine is deemed essential and urgent in the interests of the next generation of Muslims in Indonesia and the safety of the life of the wider community.
Acculturation in the Inheritance Law of the Dayak Ngaju community
Authors: Syaikhu Syaikhu , Muzainah Gusti , Adawiyah Rabiatul
Published: January 2022

The Dayak community, as an agrarian community, respects and upholds the noble values of their ancestors. These values strongly affect their social and cultural system, including the customs and traditions of inheritance settlement. This research is descriptive-analytic using a phenomenology approach. The aim is to identify the uniqueness of the traditional heritage of the Dayak Ngaju tribe in Palangka Raya through the perspective of acculturation theory of culture and law. The study shows that the acculturation model that occurs in Palangka Raya is an adjustment model, in which the process of adjustment and adaptation of one culture to other cultures occurs without forming a new culture. In addition, this study also finds that the community kinship system also influences the application of inheritance law among the Ngaju Dayak indigenous people, Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan.
Analyzing the Maduranese's Traditional Inheritance from al-Tūfi’s Maslahah Theory

Published: January 2022

This study reveals the tradition of inheritance distribution among the Maduranese community and analyzes it using the maslahah of al-Tūfi. Although the entire Maduranese community adheres to Islam, in terms of inheritance distribution, they tend to apply customary inheritance law, only a small portion of which applies Islamic inheritance law (farāidh). This research is qualitative research; the data is obtained from interviews, observations, and documentation. This study found that most Maduranese people only give inheritance portion to children's groups, rarely did they include other groups as stipulated in farāidh law. Apart from that, the distribution pattern is also different from one region to another. In Sumenep, for instance, the distribution of inheritance prioritizes girls over boys. In Sampang, priority is given to the eldest child, while in Bangkalan it is prioritized for the youngest child. Only in Pamekasan, the distribution of inheritance is distributed to all family members in equal portions. This pattern of distribution that does not comply with the provisions of Islamic inheritance law, when viewed from the perspective of maslahah al-Tūfi, is still in line with the principles of Islamic law because it aims to bring good, avoid conflict, as well as to adjust to customary provisions and community development.

Published: January 2022

Nowadays, the development of technology plays an essential role in many aspects of human life. People activity cannot be separated with the assistance of technology, including in education. Teachers often utilise technology to transform the information, make students motivated and engaged, and assess the progress of the learnt materials. Among the available technological tools, Kahoot is a digital game application that can be integrated into teaching. Teachers could use this application to promote active learning. This research aimed to explore the use of Kahoot in teaching as to increase students’ engagement and encourage active learning. The study reviewed 18 published research papers identifying teachers’ approaches in integrating Kahoot in their practices, the function and the effect of Kahoot in classroom environment within the context of EFL teaching. The result of review papers indicated that teachers utilised Kahoot to review and practice the learnt materials, and they used Kahoot at different times. All studies showed that the implementation of Kahoot could create a positive learning environment allowing students to participate actively. This study implies that teachers can integrate any digital game application into their teaching practices to make students engaged and promote active learning. However, teachers need to understand how to use the application correctly and identify whether the choice application is suitable for the students’ level and needs.

The purpose of this study was to determine the types of Vocabulary Learning Strategies (VLS), the most and least frequently used VLSs by female and male students, and the types of VLSs chosen to address vocabulary learning problems. This study employed a survey technique. The population for this study was drawn from Lampung State Islamic University's English Education Department, which consisted of three classes and had a total enrollment of approximately 75 students. Female students totaled 64, while male students totaled 11. The sample consisted of fourth-semester students. The instrument used in this study was a questionnaire that Gu and Johnson proposed in 1996. Interviews were also used as a tool. All English department students at Lampung State Islamic University used one of four vocabulary learning strategies. Among the four categories of Vocabulary Learning Strategies, students in the three classes favoured metacognitive strategies the most, as indicated by the mean score (2.90). On the other hand, the least frequently used strategy was memory/repetition, as indicated by the lowest mean score (2.22). Female students tended to use metacognitive strategies, as indicated by their highest mean score (2.87), while male students tended to use memories/repetition strategies, as indicated by their average score (2.2). Additionally, the most frequently used strategy by male students was metacognitive strategy with a mean score of (2.93), while the least frequently used strategy was activation with a mean score of (2.93). (2.31). To overcome the problem of vocabulary acquisition, the students used the strategies of consulting a dictionary first, followed by learning grammar and asking other people second. The final strategies used were word practise and internet surfing.

This study aims to determine the frequency and process of derivational and inflectional morphemes in Joko Widodo's speech at the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. The study used descriptive qualitative analysis methods. The data were analyzed using Fromkin's principle. The data analysis yielded 133 terms made up of derivational and inflectional morphemes. Derivational morphemes accounted for 50.37 percent of all occurrences in this study, while inflectional morphemes accounted for 49.63 percent. The researchers discovered several derivation processes that modify grammatical classes while remaining unchanged, such as noun form, adjective form, verb form, adverb form, adjective form, noun to noun, and adjective to adjective. In this study, five types of Inflectional morphemes were found: -s (plural and third-person singular), -ing (progressive), -ed (past tense), and -er (comparative).  Morphemes are an important feature of language so it is important for students to learn in school, especially for language learners. Morphological awareness, which we describe as a basic understanding of the morphemic structure of words, is required of the learner. Finally, the implications of this research will be an inspiration for further research in morphological processing, especially regarding derivational and inflectional morphemes.

Authors: Muhassin Mohammad
Published: January 2022

Political discourse on the 2019 Indonesian presidential election has been studied from a variety of linguistic viewpoints.  However, the  pros and cons discourse on  Joko Widodo's coalition with Prabowo in spite of their rivalry has not been examined through  critical discourse analysis.  This study aims to explore the text structure, social cognition, and social context of the pros dan cons discourse as the theme of Mata Najwa talk show. This is a kind of qualitative analytical research using van Dijk’s (1996, 2015) critical discourse analysis framework. The data comprised utterances of the talk show participants examined through three levels of analysis: description of text structure, interpretation of social cognition, and explanation of social context. The study found the use of macrostructure, superstructure, and microstructure as textual elements that support the discourse theme. Meanwhile, the theme selection is influenced by the host’s ideology that serves the theme's pro-coalition stance. The social context underlying the discourse production is the representation of  Joko Widodo, who utilized his power to forge a coalition with the opponents through political bargaining. The implication of this study is to increase public awareness on the importance of critically viewing political news so that the negative excesses of political propaganda do not easily provoke them through mass media.
