Authors: Francisco-Gutiérrez Antonio , Alvarado-Cárdenas Leonardo O.
Published: August 2023

Background: Aphyllon is a genus of 25 root-holoparasitic species restricted to the Americas. It has a disjunct distribution, with 21 species distributed in North America and four in South America. Aphyllon is divided into two sections: Aphyllonand Nothaphyllon. All species of the genus  have host-specificity, make it a study model in the evolution of holoparasitic plants. Recently, observations of a putative new species of Aphyllon were detected on iNaturalist. Questions: Are the alluded  iNaturalist observations of Aphyllon supported as a new species? What characters distinguish this taxon from the other species of Aphyllon? Studied species: Taxa of Aphyllon section Nothaphyllon. Study site and dates: Mexico; 2020–2023. Methods: Specimens were collected, dissected, measured, photographed and preserved. Herbarium specimens and literature on Aphyllon were reviewed. Comparisons of the taxon with species of section Nothaphyllon’s were performed. Results: A new species of the holoparasitic Aphyllon (Orobanchaceae) is described and illustrated. It is the second species of tropical  humid vegetation in Mexico, an atypical environment for most of the genus, and it is the only species of the section with racemes with narrowed to nearly closed corolla mouths, and straight, non-revolute lobes of the lower lip. Conclusions: The records in the citizen science platform have been useful to illustrate the morphology and color of the organisms, as well as to propose new species of Aphyllon. The photographs provide information not found in herbarium specimens due to oxidation and discoloration that occurs when drying Orobanchaceae plants.
Dependence of solar reflector soiling on location relative to a ferromanganese smelter
Authors: Swart M.A. , Hockaday L. , Reynolds Q , Craig K
Published: August 2023

A solar reflector soiling study was carried out at a ferromanganese smelter in South Africa to assess the soiling rates at different locations around the plant. Several meteorological parameters were monitored to give insight into the conditions that lead to increased soiling. Mineralogical characterization of dust samples collected from the reflectors and the atmosphere revealed that only a certain size fraction is of importance with regard to soiling, and that the dust can be attributed to both raw materials and smelter products. Proximity to the dust source was the primary driver for increased soiling. The site that experienced the most soiling was very close to raw material heaps; this was deemed an outlier and was excluded from the summary statistics. The secondary driver for increased soiling was location relative to the smelter dust sources and the wind's direction and speed. The reflector set at the best location experienced 13.1% less soiling than the set at the 'worst' (but still feasible) location, represented by an averaged mean daily reflectance loss of 0.0186. The study revealed that while there are periods of intense soiling at this particular site, proper planning of reflector location in relation to the smelter dust sources can significantly mitigate the soiling rate. Keywords: Heliostat soiling, energy-intensive industry (EII), solar thermal process heat, concentrating solar thermal (CST).
Spontaneous combustion of carbonaceous shale at an iron ore mine, South Africa
Authors: Gous C , Genc B
Published: August 2023

Spontaneous combustion during coal mining operations is a major problem that affects the health and safety of workers and causes environmental problems. The phenomenon is associated with the presence of coal, coal shale, and pyrite. In 2020, a premature detonation incident occurred at an iron ore mine where the waste material contains black carbonaceous shale units known to be associated with pyrite. The spontaneous combustion propensity and properties of samples of the black carbonaceous shales from the mine were examined and compared with samples from the Witbank Coalfield. The spontaneous combustion liability indexes of these samples were correlated with X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and proximate and ultimate analyses using linear regression. The Wits-Ehac Index classification results show that the samples were between medium and high risk. The linear regression analysis showed very poor correlations between the Wits-Ehac Index results and the XRF and proximate and ultimate results. The most valuable relationship found is between the presence of relatively high sulphur (greater than 3%) and ground reactivity with nitrate-bearing explosive emulsion. Keywords: coal, spontaneous combustion, carbonaceous shale, linear regression, premature detonation, iron ore mine.

Cognitive and emotional statements as components of reciprocal interaction in network thinking
Authors: Dautov Denis F.
Published: August 2023

Working in the world of the 21st century requires ever closer cooperation, more and more people. At the same time, paradoxically, the people of this society are increasingly striving for independence and feel lonely, despite the increased possibilities of digital technologies that greatly facilitate information interaction. All this could not but affect human thinking, which, together with network technologies, was forced to change significantly, turning into network thinking. As thinking changes, so does the interaction between people. To study this interaction, a study was conducted to analyze the components of reciprocity in network thinking. The method used in obtaining primary results was content analysis. Mathematical processing of the obtained data was carried out by means of multivariate analysis of variance. The study determined the parameters of the initial conditions of network thinking that affect various forms of reciprocity, as well as emotional and cognitive statements. Combinations of conditions in the greatest and least degree influencing the quantitative and qualitative component of interaction in solving mental problems are revealed. The influence of various forms of reciprocity on emotional and cognitive statements realized in the process of network thinking by participants in problem solving has been established. Combinations of two forms of reciprocity are determined that contribute to a change in the number of emotional and cognitive statements. Fundamental differences in the influence of various forms of reciprocity on utterances in the process of joint mental activity are revealed. The results obtained as a result of the study can be used to assess the features of interdependent interaction in the implementation of network thinking and its correction by changing the initial conditions for the implementation of mental activity.
Dynamics of students' internal health picture with increasing external stress factors
Authors: Doronina Natalia N. , Kuznetsova Lyudmila B. , Shvetsova Vitalina A.
Published: August 2023

The rapid changes in the situation in world politics, the increase in the intensity of armed conflicts, the narrowing of the time perspective are unprecedented challenges that the modern generation of young people have to face. In these conditions, the problem of the psychological health of young people and the factors of its preservation is becoming increasingly important. To designate the integral characteristic of the idea of one's health in the self-consciousness of the individual, as a system-forming factor of health-saving behavior in domestic psychology, the concept of "internal picture of health" is used. The purpose of the study is to analyze the dynamics of the internal picture of the health of university students in the context of the growth of external stress factors (increasing tension of the armed conflict in the neighboring state). The study was conducted on the basis of the Belgorod State National Research University. It was attended by students of 2007, 2017 and 2022 recruitment years. The total number of subjects was 288 people. The analysis of the characteristics of the dynamics of the internal picture of students' health was carried out using the following psychodiagnostic methods: the questionnaire "Attitude towards health" (R.A. Berezovskaya), the questionnaire "Assessment of the level of satisfaction with the quality of life" (N.E. Vodopyanova), the questionnaire "Coping methods" (R .Lazarus, S. Folkman, adapted by K. L. Guseva). The results obtained allow us to conclude that the transformation of the internal picture of health among young people in the face of the growth of external stress factors is really taking place. The revealed dynamics of attitudes towards health is expressed in a more pragmatic approach to health, an increase in satisfaction with the ability to maintain one's own emotional well-being, as well as a more intensive use of most types of coping, updating previously unused coping strategies. Thus, the internal picture of health as a systemic psychological formation acts as a regulatory mechanism of self-awareness, activating its work aimed at overcoming threats to the psychological health of the individual. The results of the study can be used in the work of the psychological services of universities.
The concept of interethnic security of the region (on the example of Tatarstan)
Authors: Khusnutdinova Rezida R. , Yusupov Il’dar M.
Published: August 2023

When there is a social and economic disadvantage in the region, the consciousness of the subject begins to look for the image of the enemy, which more often focuses on representatives of national diasporas. Interethnic tensions are growing. The distance between ethnophores and ethnoses increases to complete mutual rejection in their area. In an aggravated situation, social security. The paper puts forward the concept of interethnic security based on minimizing threats perceived by the ethnos as a problem. An indicator of unstable security is an increase intension. Subjectively, security is expressed in the absence of fear of external threats [1]. Its predictors include: numerical and status imbalance of ethnic groups; their hyperidentificity; unemployment of the population; its low education; intolerance. The listed socio-psychological constructs are observed visually and recorded by the corresponding markers of individual and mass behavior. The purpose of theoretical and empirical research is to distinguish between manifestations of anomalies of ethnic identity and to resist extremist actions provoking interethnic and interfaith conflicts. An empirical study of the interethnic distancing of three peoples Russians, Tatars and Chuvash who make up 96 % of the region's population was conducted. The representative sample included 946 people. Based on an array of empirical data, general and individual estimated ranges of ethnic groups' distance were calculated. Predictors of increasing interethnic tension in the region they make up a structural pentabasis. Exceeding the acceptable for an ethnic group norms of any of them causes alatent murmur of ethnophores. Exceeding the norms of the two signals about the increase in protest. In case of three or more in any combination mass disobedience is possible, threatening security.
Role-playing as a form of joint activity in the process of learning a foreign language
Authors: Pushkareva Irina A.
Published: August 2023

The paper is devoted to the consideration of the role-playing game as a form of joint activity in order to form social and communicative competencies of students in the foreign language classes in a non-linguistic university. The problem of joint activity in the learning process is one of the most important in modern psychology and pedagogy. The paper attempts to reveal the interdisciplinary nature of the concept of activity through a system of active subject-object relations or interactions from the point of view of basic and related sciences. The research is also focused on the structural components and process of joint activities, consideration of the activity approach in the management of the education process and self-organizing activities of students. Joint training activities at a foreign language lesson are considered through the forms of interaction between the teacher and students in the process of preparing and conducting a role-playing game. The joint educational activity of the teacher and students forms not only the communicative, but also the social competence of students, and is also considered as a model of their further interactions. The role-playing game is recognized as one of the most effective innovative forms of teaching a foreign language and is a socially significant and practically directed activity that increases the language and social competence of students and implements a communicative and activity approach to teaching a foreign language. The author justifies the need to use innovative methods of teaching a foreign language that contribute to the productive solution of personal, social and professional matters. Analysis of the role-playing game in a foreign language practical lesson made it possible to come to conclusions about the effectiveness of game forms and an activity approach in learning, as well as the possibility of implementing all forms of educational cooperation leading to partnership as the highest and most developed form of a persons self-organization.
Levels of mastering theoretical knowledge of higher mathematics in computerized testing
Authors: Kal’ney Sergey G. , Konsevich Natalia N. , Migunova Ekaterina S. , Chaykina Elena V.
Published: August 2023

This paper deals with the problem of computer testing of students level of theoretical knowledge on Higher Mathematics. When assessing students in Mathematics, their mastery of skills and abilities to solve problems and to use theoretical material falls into different categories. Test tasks to assess the ability to solve typical problems are often based on the prediction of the success of their solution by students, taking into account teaching experience, task examples from published sets of tests on Higher Mathematics. The process of tasks development is rather complicated for many reasons. In particular, when discussing some tasks with the student during the exam, the teachers questions usually do not have a test form and it is more difficult to predict the success of the students performance in this case. Therefore, the paper proposes to correlate test tasks to assess the mastery of theoretical material in higher mathematics with a certain hierarchical system of levels of knowledge acquisition. Matching test tasks knowledge with mastering level allows you to take into account their development and the depth of the study of theoretical material in mathematical disciplines. The paper deals with the hierarchical system of four levels of knowledge assimilation (recognition, mechanical reproduction, fragmentary understanding, integral understanding), gives examples of tasks for each level and the results of the success in individual test tasks, which can be useful for teachers when developing tests to check the theoretical knowledge of Mathematics.
A Limit Theorem for a Nested Infinite Occupancy Scheme in Random Environment
Authors: Braganets Oksana , Iksanov Alexander
Published: August 2023

We investigate an infinite balls-in-boxes scheme, in which boxes are arranged in nested hierarchy and random probabilities of boxes are defined in terms of iterated fragmentation of a unit mass. Gnedin and Iksanov (2020) obtained a multivariate functional central limit theorem with centering for the cumulative occupancy counts as the number of balls becomes large. We prove a counterpart of their result, in which centering is not needed and the limit processes are not Gaussian. An application is given to the scheme generated by a residual allocation model.

Authors: Shevchenko Georgiy , Yaroshevskiy Andrii
Published: August 2023

For a continuous-time lattice random walk $X^\Lambda=\set{X^\Lambda_t,t\ge 0}$ in a random environment $\Lambda$, we study the asymptotic behavior, as $t\rightarrow \infty$, of the normalized additive functional $c_t\int_0^{t} f(X^\Lambda_s)ds$, $t\ge 0$. We establish a limit theorem for it, which is similar to that in the non-lattice case, under less restrictive assumptions.

Estimation in Linear-Rate Simple Survival Models with Measurement Errors and Censoring
Authors: Shklyar Sergiy
Published: August 2023

A simple exponential regression model is considered where the rate parameter of the response variable linearly depends on the explanatory variable. We consider complications of the model: censoring of the response variable (either upper censoring or interval observations), the additive classical error or multiplicative Berkson error in the explanatory variable, or a combination of censoring with Berkson errors. We construct or use already-known estimators in the models, and verify their performance in simulations.

Published: August 2023

Aim: to assess the blood level of biological endothelial damage markers in women with previous early-onset preeclampsia (еPE) during both the preconception (PC) stage and the first trimester of pregnancy.

Materials and Methods. A prospective single-center cohort study was conducted. The control group comprised 40 women with uncomplicated pregnancies. The observation group consisted of 97 patients with a history of ePE, stratified based on pregnancy outcome into the comparison group (n = 59) characterized by a favorable gestational course, and the main group (n = 38) with relapsed еPE (30 patients were excluded from the study). Markers of systemic endotheliosis were determined in women at the PC stage and at 11–13 weeks of gestation: endothelin-1 (ET-1) and endothelial extracellular vesicles (EVs; CD-144).

Results. At the PC stage, women in the control group and patients from the comparison group had comparable median (Me) ET-1 levels – 0.39 and 0.40 pmol/ml (p = 0.5935), respectively; at the same time, patients with relapsed еPE vs. control group had it significantly elevated (Me = 0.55 pmol/ml; p = 0.0382). At gestational age of 11–13 weeks, ET-1 level was significantly higher in the group with relapsed еPE (Me = 0.93 pmol/ml) than in control group (Me = 0.29 pmol/ml; p < 0.0001) and comparison group (Me = 0.42 pmol/ml; p = 0.0003). No significant changes in E-EVs (CD-144) level at various PС stages were observed, whereas in the study groups such parameters remained differed.

Conclusion. Biological markers evidencing about systemic endothelial dysfunction/destruction – ET-1 and E-EVs (CD-144) in patients with previous ePE can be considered as predictive tests of disease relapse with an accuracy of 63.5 % and 83.0 % at the PС stage and 85.7 % and 94.2 % at gestational age of 11–13 weeks, respectively.

Authors: S. Bharat Chandra Reddy , Tappa Rabbani , Ravula Rama Krishna
Published: August 2023

Background: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a common surgical method used for the treatment of renal calculi. Post-operative pain is due to dilatation of the renal capsule, the parenchymal tract and peritubal distressing of the nephrostomy tube. Addition of ultrasound guided paravertebral block to the multimodal postoperative analgesic regimen after general anaesthesia can achieve adequate somatic and visceral sensory blockade to provide post op analgesic cover for PCNL.
Methods: It was a randomized controlled study where 60 ASA I and II patients scheduled for elective PCNL surgery were divided into 2 groups of 30 each, group P and group N. Both groups underwent PCNL under general anaesthesia. After the conclusion of surgery, group P were given ultrasound guided single level paravertebral block at T9-T10 level on the operated side using 10 ml 0.25% bupivacaine while group N did not receive paravertebral block after the conclusion of surgery.
Results: VAS score, time for first rescue analgesic, number of rescue analgesics in post-operative period were significant in group P compared to group N.
Conclusions: Addition of thoracic para vertebral block to multimodal analgesic regimen significantly provides effective analgesia, reduces requirements of intravenous opioids, maintains stable postoperative hemodynamics, improves respiratory mechanics and lowers the incidence of chronic postoperative pain.

Democracy in Israel: Are There Any Reasons for Concern?
Authors: Brilevskaya Yana S.
Published: August 2023

The author examines the current state of democratic governance in the State of Israel. The research focuses on the changes that have taken place in the party and civil environment of the state in the last decade, as well as their impact on Israeli democracy. It also reveals the negative impact of the right-wing nature of the ruling elite on the liberal side of Israeli democratic rule. The paper states the decline of democracy in various regions of the world, in the State of Israel, which is considered the only democratic country in the Middle East. Based on this, the author examines the current state of democratic governance in Israel. The research focuses on the changes that have occurred in the party and civil environment of the state in the last decade, as well as their impact on Israeli democracy. There is a tendency towards the growth of right-wing sentiments both within the political elite and the Israeli society itself, which is the result of a long-term transformation of the political landscape of Israel and is closely related to the security issue. In addition, other reasons for the rise of right-wing sentiments are given, namely: the peculiarities of Israel’s demographic development, the failure of the peace process with the Palestinians, the changing role of religious parties in election campaigns, etc. The paper analyzes several government laws, as well as already approved laws of a legal nature: the boycott law, the Nakba Law, the law on ‘transparency,’ the law on the nation state. The recent legislative initiative of the newly elected Israeli government to limit the powers and role of the Supreme Court is subjected to a separate analysis: the reasons for the nomination of the law are revealed, its main provisions are given, possible consequences of the adoption of this law are established and their assessment in the context of the emerging democratic crisis in Israel. As a result of the above, the negative impact of the right-wing nature of the ruling elite on the liberal side of Israeli democratic rule is revealed. Two key vectors of the current government’s anti-liberal policy have been identified: firstly, changing the system of checks-and-balances within which institutions now function in favor of the political majority principle; secondly, the principles of ethno-nationalism as the basis of all spheres of Israeli society in the long term. In conclusion, the author gives forecasts of the further development of the processes considered in the work in case of preservation and further deepening of the current internal political course of the Government of Israel.

Management of Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor in a Pediatric Patient with Preservation of an Associated Impacted Tooth: A Combined Surgical and Orthodontic Approach
Authors: Taneja Saumya , Jain Anuj
Published: August 2023

The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rare benign neoplasm that is typically treated through surgical enucleation and curettage. Any impacted tooth associated with the tumor are also extracted during the procedure. We present a case of AOT encompassing an impacted left maxillary central incisor in a 13-year-old male. The patient underwent routine treatment, but the tooth was orthodontically extruded using traction. Within two years, the incisor successfully attained its functional position in the arch, without any signs of recurrence. Preserving an impacted tooth associated with AOT is not common, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. It is important to manage AOT conservatively and to save the associated tooth for both functional and aesthetic purposes. Long-term follow-up is crucial to monitor any potential recurrence. In summary, our case highlights the successful orthodontic management and preservation of an impacted tooth in a teenager with AOT.
Male Involvement in Childcare: A Qualitative Exploration of Men’s Opinion in Nigeria
Authors: Omobowale Olubukola , Adebayo Ayodeji , Iyanda Temiloluwa
Published: August 2023

Background: Traditionally, women assume the sole responsibility of improving child health. The patriarchal nature of the African society gives men more socioeconomic power and control at home, making the importance of investigating male involvement in child-care practices a priority. This study explored the opinions of community dwelling fathers on male involvement in child-care practices.
Methods: A community-based study was carried out among fifty-nine married men aged 21-49 years in Sepeteri, Saki East LGA, Oyo State. Eight focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted using a FGD guide. We explored the knowledge of childcare practices, men’s roles in childcare and readiness to partake in childcare practices among the participants. The resulting data were analyzed thematically, using direct manual content analysis.
Results: Eight FGDs were conducted among 56 married men, majority of the respondents believed that mothers are responsible for taking care of the children while men have to provide money and shelter for the family. Willingness to participate in childcare practices was low due to some societal perceptions around male involvement in such activities. However, a few respondents agreed to secretly helping out with household chores.
Conclusion: Male involvement in childcare practices was observed to be poor among the study group. To optimize child health and welfare in our society, there is a need for health education and health promoting-interventions that will enable men participate in childcare practices.

Among these, two of them are the sibling arts of wayang puppetry and topeng mask dance which show significant overlap in character typology, repertoire and other features. Outsiders often focus on narrative content and surmise these forms – first documented in the Hindu-Buddhist period (around the ninth century), are merely Indian materials in the Indonesian dress. However, anyone who has studied the wayang/topeng complex, knows that Indian practices, especially as we see them today, only partly inform these arts. Understanding the macrocosm via the microcosm of art is a core point of wayang/topeng. The numerology of Muslim esoteric ideas is also deeply embedded. Indigenous ideas of personhood and intergenerational links are inherent. The wayang/topeng tradition compresses cosmic conceptions into performance’s limited space-time continuum. Masking/puppetry has many layers from indigenous to internationally linked concepts, and the art has been elaborated on by thinkers of the Indonesian cultural heritage for at least a 1000 years. How and why should new generations of artist-makers keep these concepts alive as they experiment with new media and respond to changing times? What elements of design, what histories, and what ideas inform these arts and artifacts? What can be gained by using cultural heritage through the arts to envision and respond to the future?

The Dominance of Gamelan in South Korea in a Discursive Perspective
Authors: Ji Tae Chung , Faruk Faruk , Rahadianto Sutopo Oki
Published: August 2023

This article provides a genealogical investigation through a postcolonial perspective about gamelan discourses in South Korea. Gamelan is known as a traditional orchestra representative of Indonesia, especially in academic circles. Whereas Indonesian culture is still not well known in South Korea, Indonesian traditional instruments are not limited to gamelan. There are also a great many other traditional instruments on each island and among different ethnic groups in the nation. How and why has gamelan come to be seen as such a representative Indonesian musical instrument within South Korea? Knowledge of gamelan or Indonesian music is a more recent issue in South Korea where there has been no long history of Indonesian musical discourse. The aim of this article is therefore to understand how gamelan was decontextualized from its origin through orientalism and colonial era research into the performing arts, and how this led to it becoming a representative Indonesian traditional music form in South Korea throughFoucault’s theory of discourse. To do this, historical data was investigated using genealogical methodology. Gamelan was one of the popular objects during the colonial era for Western musicians and musicologists. The popularity of gamelan has been parallel with the development of ethnomusicology, and it has flown into South Korea with increasing Korean students who study in the West and through interactions between musicologists in the ethnomusicology field.

Published: August 2023

In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, school management continues to strive to maintain the quality of academic services so that Teaching and Learning Process (TLP) activities always run as they should. However, there are some barriers to TLP with the Distance Learning (DL) pattern, either from the preparative aspect of Human Resources (HR) or network technical aspects. Also, the partner schools do not yet have the official website facilities and significant DL media. Meanwhile, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is currently the main medium to reach students in DL. Teachers need to reconsider when, where, and how online learning occurs, and adapt their methodological approach. Therefore, through the Community Partnership Program (CPP), the implementation team offers the development of a school website and the use of a Moodle-based Learning Management System (LMS) in partner schools at SMA YPPI-II Surabaya. This community service activity is done to support the website as a medium of information and promotion and to maintain an efficient and effective existence. Likewise, the Moodle application is used as a support for online TLP in addition to direct learning through video conference with the digital platform, like Zoom or Google meets. The method of implementing CPP is by presenting, training, and mentoring the Moodle application and website for teachers and partner staff who will later act as users. The results of this activity made a positive contribution to the improvement of HR skills and access to school information with the related parties.

The Malaysian Mah Meri tribal mask is one of the primitive masks whose existence has become an artifact stored in museums and become a medium of learning for the younger generation about their culture. The masks made are representations of ancestors and are used in worship ceremonies dedicated to their ancestors. These masks are used for funeral rituals and fertility ceremonies and serve as provisions for the dead in graves or as grave guards. The Mah Meri tribe is a sub-ethnic group of indigenous people living along the coast of Selangor. This community group has long lived in the area, and their daily life is farming. Among the routine life of the Mah Meri tribe, there is the Mah Meri mask dance which displays the history of the ancestors of the Mah Meri tribe and represents the animals that live on the land, in the swamps or rivers they encounter, both good and bad. Problems arise when the animal masks of the Mah Meri tribe are displayed at the Asian Art museum. Besides not being widely known, they also have minimal information, which is not enough to be used as a learning medium. The research method used is the Borg and Gall development model, which is simplified into 4 steps, namely (1) research and information gathering; (2) planning; (3) developing the initial form of the product; and (4) the final product revision. The result of this development is a 3D application that can be used as a learning medium to help tourists of all ages learn the masks of Orang Asli Malaysia in museums more easily.

3D Animal Illustration Flashcard as a Learning Media Innovation in Early Childhood Education
Authors: Ristya Rini Denik , Maulani W. Agnisa , Tri W. Retno
Published: August 2023

Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that allows users to interact with virtual elements in a real-world environment. In the context of early childhood education, AR-based learning media can provide a number of benefits for children learning about animals. With the assistance of parents, children can learn 3-dimensional shapes and animal characters that are integrated with smartpones. The aim of this research is to develope 3D flashcards based on Augmented Reality for learning media in Early Childhood Education. The developed flashcards are also given the distinctive sound of each animal so that the child can easily recognize it. The product was developed using ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develompent, Implementation and Evaluation), and it was then tested on a limited group, and validated to get input for improvements before being mass-produced. The result of this research in AR-based learning media is that it can make learning about animals more engaging and interactive for children. This can make the learning process more fun and interesting for children, and can also help to retain their attention and focus during the learning process. Another benefit of using AR-based learning media is that it can help to make the information more relatable and concrete for children. For instance, instead of just reading about a cow in a flashcard, children can use an AR app to see a 3D model of a cow in front of them and even interact with it. The limitation of this study is that from the results of the trial, the data shows that the use of paper-based flasshcards can be damaging in early childhood, and teachers suggest using sturdier materials such as PVC.

Tourist Attraction Commodification in the Wayang Topeng Performance in Malang
Authors: Wahyuningtyas Tri
Published: August 2023

Wayang Topeng is a drama-shaped performance by dancers wearing masks who hide their faces, carrying essential and symbolic purposes.Wayang Topeng performances are always associated with rites as a medium of worshipping ancestral spirits. Today,Wayang Topeng is undergoing a change, from a routine event to a show for tourists held by one of the hotels in Malang city. This change in the performance’ format from a stage show to a tourism packaging show, made the Wayang Topeng experience a shift in its values and original meaning. It is suspected that it has shifted the cultural values that were once a part of traditional culture to the direction of mass culture. This phenomenon is not only seen as an adjustment to the media format, but as a form of commodification. This research seeks to uncover forms, processes, ideologies, and powers related to the commodification of the Wayang Topeng performance. This qualitative research uses interview data and observations which were analyzed using the interpertation technique.The method used was the art phenomenology research with a study of critical discourse analysis. From this analysis of the Wayang Topeng performance through interviews with several sources and combined with relevant literature, the results show that: (1) content commodification happened in the Wayang Topeng performance, and (2) the ideology behind the process of commodification is capitalism. The power behind commodification is market power.
