Authors: Natradze Ioseb , Buknikashvili Alexander , Sheklashvili Giorgi , Mumladze Levan
Published: June 2023

In Georgia, currently, 30 species of bats are recorded from four families and eleven genera. Although the oldest record of bats is from 1835 and continues until today, there are no comprehensive data available for bat diversity and distribution in Georgia. Thus, we aimed to fill that gap and make complete, expertly curated literature and our own published data openly available (through GBIF) for researchers and conservationists.

In this publication, out of 1987 records, 1243 (62.4%) are new and unpublished data. Generally, out of all records, 34% are literature and museum data and 66% are data collected by us. Additionally, for the first time in the history of the study of bats in Georgia, we initiated surveys in forested areas of the country.
Rendez-vous et inattendus sonores
Authors: Philippe Aloïse
Published: June 2023

Le questionnement de celui qui s’engage dans un travail de parole sera soutenu par le psychologue orienté par le renoncement à une vérité idéalisée qui pourrait se dire enfin et à jamais. À ceci s’ajoute une attention particulière à la musique produite par les paroles, la recomposition des sons qui donnent un tout autre sens à ce qui semble se dire. L’intérêt du psychologue se porte alors sur un autre discours : celui de l’inconscient et des inattendus dans un contexte de soins palliatifs.

The COVID-19 epidemic has had a profound effect on almost every aspect of daily life, including the financial sector, education, transportation, health care, and so on. Among these sectors, the financial and health sectors are the most affected areas by COVID-19. Modeling and predicting the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on the financial and health care sectors is particularly important these days. Therefore, this paper has two aims, (i) to introduce a new probability distribution for modeling the financial data set (oil prices data), and (ii) to implement a machine learning approach to predict the oil prices. First, we introduce a new approach for developing new probability distributions for the univariate analysis of the oil price data. The proposed approach is called a new reduced exponential-$ X $ (NRE-$ X $) family. Based on this approach, two new statistical distributions are introduced for modeling the oil price data and its log returns. Based on certain statistical tools, we observe that the proposed probability distributions are the best competitors for modeling the prices' data sets. Second, we carry out a multivariate analysis while considering some covariates of oil price data. Dual well-known machine learning algorithms, namely, the least absolute shrinkage and absolute deviation (Lasso) and Elastic net (Enet) are utilized to achieve the important features for oil prices based on the best model. The best model is established through forecasting performance.

Published: June 2023

Methamphetamine (meth) addiction is a significant social and public health problem worldwide. The relapse rate of meth abstainers is significantly high, but the underlying physiological mechanisms are unclear. Therefore, in this study, we performed resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) analysis to detect differences in the spontaneous neural activity between the meth abstainers and the healthy controls, and identify the physiological mechanisms underlying the high relapse rate among the meth abstainers. The fluctuations and time variations in the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) signal of the local brain activity was analyzed from the pre-processed rs-fMRI data of 11 meth abstainers and 11 healthy controls and estimated the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) and the dynamic ALFF (dALFF). In comparison with the healthy controls, meth abstainers showed higher ALFF in the anterior central gyrus, posterior central gyrus, trigonal-inferior frontal gyrus, middle temporal gyrus, dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus, and the insula, and reduced ALFF in the paracentral lobule and middle occipital gyrus. Furthermore, the meth abstainers showed significantly reduced dALFF in the supplementary motor area, orbital inferior frontal gyrus, middle frontal gyrus, medial superior frontal gyrus, middle occipital gyrus, insula, middle temporal gyrus, anterior central gyrus, and the cerebellum compared to the healthy controls ($ P < 0.05 $). These data showed abnormal spontaneous neural activity in several brain regions related to the cognitive, executive, and other social functions in the meth abstainers and potentially represent the underlying physiological mechanisms that are responsible for the high relapse rate. In conclusion, a combination of ALFF and dALFF analytical methods can be used to estimate abnormal spontaneous brain activity in the meth abstainers and make a more reasonable explanation for the high relapse rate of meth abstainers.

Background and aim

Dietary pattern and diet quality can influence the incidence of dental caries and can be indicated by decay missing filled (Dmf) scores in the primary dentition. This study aims to find the relationship of nutritional status and oral hygiene practices on Dmf scores of preschool children.

Materials and methods

Semi-structured and self-administered questionnaires, distributed among 60 preschoolers' parents, were used to assess the demographic and diet related data. Anthropometric measurements of the preschoolers were taken following universally accepted protocols. The relationship between dietary supplement consumption and the presence of dental caries was evaluated by chi-square test employing SPSS 22.

Results

The anthropometric measurements among 4-year-old children were on par with the standard values and that of 5-year-olds were below the reference range. All the measurements except head to chest circumference were higher than normal range among 3-year-old subjects. Regular and periodic dental check-ups significantly influenced dental caries prevention (p = 0.030). Statistically, there was no significant association between Dmf scores and thumb-sucking habits (p = 0.568), brushing teeth and usage of tooth floss (p = 0.96), consumption of nutrient supplements (p = 0.744), and BMI (p = 0.564) of the subjects. Furthermore, the correlation between z scores and Dmf scores was found insignificant.

Conclusion

Long-term as well as short-term malnutrition initiated 2 years after the start of the pre-schooling. With severity of undernutrition there was a trend to have high Dmf scores.
Cross-Linguistic Comparison of the Pitch and Temporal Profiles between L1 and Chinese L2 Speakers of Spanish
Authors: Shang Peizhu
Published: June 2023

Cross-linguistic studies between intonational languages suggest that there is a universal trend during the L2 learning process regarding pitch and temporal characteristics. We extend these hypotheses to Chinese learners of Peninsular Spanish-a new pairing of tone and non-tone languages. Using six pitch and temporal metrics, we examine how Chinese learners’ pitch and temporal profiles deviated from those of L1 native speakers and explore the factors that may contribute to L2 speech deviations. The Discourse Completion Task was conducted to elicit five question types produced by 37 participants, who were divided into three language groups. Consistent with previous literature, our study shows that Chinese L2 learners had a compression of pitch span (at both the utterance and syllable levels) and pitch variability, as well as a strong reduction of pitch change rate, speech rate, and articulation rate compared to L1 Spanish speakers. Most pitch and temporal deviations in L2 Spanish intonation are closely linked to psychological and cognitive attributes rather than being determined by physiological factors or L1 tonal transfer. Moreover, the lack of prosodic knowledge of the target intonation patterns concerning the different question types may also hinder L2 learners from approaching a native-like pitch and temporal profile.
Comparison of intensity-based methods for automatic speech rate computation
Authors: Elvira-García Wendy , Farrús Mireia , Garrido Almiñana Juan María
Published: June 2023

Automatic computation of speech rate is a necessary task in a wide range of applications that require this prosodic feature, in which a manual transcription and time alignments are not available. Several tools have been developed to this end, but not enough research has been conducted yet to see to what extent they are scalable to other languages.
In the present work, we take two off-the- shelf tools designed for automatic speech rate computation and already tested for Dutch and English (v1, which relies on intensity peaks preceded by an intensity dip to find syllable nuclei and v3, which relies on intensity peaks surrounded by dips) and we apply them to read and spontaneous Spanish speech. Then, we test which of them offers the best performance. The results obtained with precision and normalized mean squared error metrics showed that v3 performs better than v1. However, recall measurement shows a better performance of v1, which suggests that a more fine-grained analysis on sensitivity and specificity is needed to select the best option depending on the application we are dealing with.
Foot duration and polysyllabic shortening among Arab speakers of English
Authors: Abu Guba Mohammed Nour
Published: June 2023

This study investigates a neglected aspect of second language acquisition. It compares the timing patterns adopted by speakers of English as a foreign language with those of English native speakers. The paper aims to explore the extent to which Arab speakers, whose L1 is not as stress-timed as English is, can acquire the mechanisms of polysyllabic shortening in English. Three groups (English native speakers and two groups of Jordanian speakers of English) were requested to read three sets of monosyllabic, disyllabic and trisyllabic words in a carrier sentence. The total length of the word and the vowel duration in all the words were measured. Clear differences between the native speaker group and the non-native speaker groups were attested. Results show that isochronous foot duration and polysyllabic shortening are a tendency in English speech timing, rather than a fundamental process. Furthermore, acquiring the timing patterns of the stress-timed English rhythm is challenging to Arab speakers.
L’accueil d’Adorno et de Marcuse en France : deux réceptions contrastées
Authors: AUBERT Isabelle
Published: June 2023

Cet article retrace les parcours suivis par les réceptions très différentes qu’ont connues en France les théories de Herbert Marcuse et de Theodor W. Adorno depuis l’immédiat après-guerre jusqu’à aujourd’hui. À l’encontre de certaines légendes prétendant que l’école de Francfort n’aurait éveillé la curiosité des cercles académiques français que tardivement (1968 pour Marcuse, les années 1970 pour Adorno), on verra ici comment des liens ont été noués bien avant entre les chercheurs allemands et certains intellectuels français, en particulier grâce au travail des revues (Les Temps modernes, Critique, Arguments). Il est remarquable que la réception des deux auteurs a toujours emprunté des voies divergentes : l’engouement suscité par Marcuse auprès du public ne souffre aucune comparaison, pourtant, avec le temps, la recherche française s’est progressivement éloignée du maître à penser de la révolte estudiantine, tandis que les écrits d’Adorno, qui ont durablement marqué certains cercles plus étroits de musicologues (Pierre Boulez en particulier), de sociologues et de philosophes (comme en témoigne le débat entre Jacques Derrida et Jean-François Lyotard au début des années 1980), font sans cesse l’objet de nouveaux travaux.

Authors: Sweety C. Antony Crispin , Bhuvaneshwari S.
Published: June 2023

Neutrosophic logic is the science of artificial intelligence that enables information systems to simulate human understanding. Neutrosophic logic enables computers to understand complex concepts with indeterministic constraints. It incorporates human intellect into machines and tries to exhibit human decision-making skills. Hence, neutrosophic logic makes predictions and inferences based on its knowledge, turning it into a tool for users to explore ideas and conclude on perfect solutions for real-time problems that involve indeterminacy. Neutrosophic logic finds varied applications in the field of education that are beneficial for progress in learning as well as decision making and evaluation. This chapter proposes the application of neutrosophic sets in education and school determination systems by using neutrosophic spherical distance measures.

Authors: Dang Mandy Yan , Zhang Yulei Gavin , Albritton M. David
Published: June 2023

Advancements in internet technology have fundamentally changed how companies conduct their business activities, leading us into a business analytics (BA) era. In this article, the authors aim to investigate factors that could shape students' career choice considerations toward BA jobs after they have been exposed to BA course content in an undergraduate BA course. They investigated various theoretical perspectives, including experiential and active learning theories and social cognitive career theory, and developed a research model. The model testing results show that the organization and logical flow in how the course was designed and delivered, the help offered to manage difficulty of content, and students' individual learning effort could influence perceived learning outcomes, which in turn, had a significant influence on their learning interest. In addition, increases in both learning interest and subjective norm had positive impacts on career choice considerations, with learning interest having a much stronger influence over subjective norm.
BTCBMA Online Education Course Recommendation Algorithm Based on Learners' Learning Quality
Authors: Jia Yanli
Published: June 2023

To address the problems of existing online education curriculum recommendation methods such as low recommendation accuracy, an online education course recommendation algorithm (BTCBMA) considering learner learning quality is proposed. Firstly, the BERT model is combined with the TextCNN model to implement the preliminary extraction of text features. Secondly, the convolution neural networks and BiLSTM networks are used to capture deep features and temporal features in data. Finally, a multi-head attention mechanism is used to extract key information from learner interaction sequences, review texts, and curriculum multiple attributes. Experiments demonstrate that the accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 values of the proposed online course recommendation method in the MOOC dataset are 0.224, 0.241, 0.237, and 0.239, respectively, while in the CN dataset are 0.217, 0.239, 0.227, and 0.233, respectively, and the performance of the proposed method in online education course recommendation is significantly superior to the compared methods. For learners in online learning systems, the proposed method can effectively recommend high-quality courses, which is of great significance for improving the learning quality and learning efficiency of learners.

Joseph Jacotot no Brasil
Authors: Albuquerque Suzana Lopes de , Kohan Walter Omar
Published: June 2023

O artigo propõe uma leitura do projeto político e educacional da Filosofia Panecástica desenvolvida por Joseph Jacotot (1770-1840), fundamentado na máxima ‘tudo está em tudo’, para tratar da emancipação intelectual, em contraposição à onipresença do poder e do olhar vigilante do mestre sobre o aluno do Panoptismo. A partir da análise de fontes históricas do Império brasileiro, como a imprensa periódica oitocentista, o texto visa apresentar as rupturas do pensamento pedagógico de Jacotot perante a lógica institucionalizada da desigualdade das inteligências nos ritos da instrução escolarizada. Para isso, tem como foco a introdução da Filosofia Panecástica no Império brasileiro, trazendo visibilidade aos ecos que ressoam como fundo, por exemplo, na pedagogia da dialogicidade de Paulo Freire.
Legislation for cadaver procurement for teaching anatomy in Sri Lanka
Authors: Chenthuran Thurayratnam
Published: June 2023

Cadaver-based teaching remain as an integral and imperative component of anatomy education. In the past, bodies obtained from execution, grave robbing, and murder were used to carry out cadaveric dissection. It appears that body donation and the procurement of unclaimed bodies are the typical methods that are currently employed for such purposes universally. The former method is recommended by the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists. Body donation in Sri Lanka is governed by the legislation, and the policies of medical institutions. Therefore, any request for body donation that does not meet the requirements of both the legislation and the individual medical institution will not be accepted. This manuscript aims to review the current legislation of the country along with other selected international laws and guidelines pertaining to procurement of bodies for anatomy education.

Authors: Namulondo Sarah , Rasweswe Melitah M. , Mooa Ramadimeja S.
Published: June 2023

Background: The use of blended learning (BL) pedagogy has become inevitable due to contemporary technological innovations in the nursing education sector. As of late, the need to use BL pedagogy has resulted by the sudden occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, several nurse educators still experience uncertainties in using BL due to technological, psychological, infrastructure and equipment readiness barriers.Aim: To report the attitudes of nurse educators towards the use of BL pedagogy as a new norm of teaching and learning in public nursing education institutions (NEIs) in the Gauteng Province (GP), South Africa, during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic period.Setting: The study was conducted in five Gauteng public NEIs.Methods: A descriptive non-experimental quantitative design was conducted with 144 nurse educators. Data was collected through a questionnaire. Statistical Analysis Software (SAS) was used to analyse data with the help of a biostatistician.Results: Technologically, only 50% (N = 72) found BL easy to use while 48% (n = 69) were ready and willing to use the BL Psychologically, more than half, that is, 65% (n = 94) lacked the confidence to use BL pedagogy. About 55% (n = 79) reported having inadequate BL infrastructure, while 32% (n = 46) seemed to be satisfied with the availability of effective equipment to support BL pedagogy.Conclusion: Based on the results, it is apparent that nurse educators in Gauteng are not technologically and psychologically ready, since the infrastructure and equipment to support the BL are not adequately provided.Contribution: The study emphasised the purpose of performing regular assessments to establish the overall readiness of nurse educators to successfully implement the BL pedagogy.

Published: June 2023

The scholarly discourse surrounding the manifold advantages, applications, and limitations of implementing Virtual Reality (VR) in the contemporary milieu has burgeoned over time. VR holds immense potential, attracting fervent interest from governmental and private entities alike. Nevertheless, the existing body of literature pertaining to the expanding utilization of VR in diverse economic sectors remains scant. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to furnish a comprehensive literature review encompassing VR applications across various economic domains while elucidating concerns surrounding its integration within engineering education. A total of 108 publications were extracted from prominent databases such as Scopus, Elsevier, Science Direct, and Google Scholar, with a subsequent review of 51 relevant works. These scrutinized journals were published between 2015 and 2022 and were predominantly authored in English. The reviewed publications encompassed VR applications in education, robotics, healthcare, transportation, sports, agriculture, governance, security, and media. The study’s findings unveiled significant advancements in VR implementation within engineering education, medical training, cognitive augmentation, aircraft assembly, governance, and diverse other spheres. Notwithstanding these achievements, impediments to VR deployment were identified, stemming from financial exigencies, cultural and conventional norms, with scant evidence of VR’s prevalence in underdeveloped nations, given that all the assessed research originated from developed economies. Additionally, the limitations of this review encompassed a small sample size and a narrowly focused demographic in the examined articles. Nevertheless, despite these constraints, the research highlights substantial progress in VR utilization over the preceding decade.
Publication output of Bahir Dar university: A Scopus-based bibliometric overview
Authors: Yalew Addisalem Tebikew , Dereb Asrat
Published: June 2023

Bahir Dar University (BDU) is one of Ethiopia's oldest and leading universities and has recently been granted the status of a research university within the country's system of differentiation of higher education. Despite this, there has been a lack of systematic mapping of the research output of the university. To address this issue, this study takes a 22-year dataset of publications from Scopus to analyze publication output affiliated with the university as represented in the international domain. The analysis encompasses several dimensions, including overall productivity, collaboration patterns, dominant research areas, primary publication outlets, and languages of publication. The findings reveal a notable increase in research productivity at the university since 2010. The top five research areas impacting this productivity include medicine, agriculture, environmental science, social sciences, and engineering. In addition, the majority of publications are found to be published in biomedical science journals, English being the dominant language of publication. Though at the institutional level, the university’s collaborators are predominantly other Ethiopian public universities, at the country level, BDU’s top collaborators come from the USA, Germany, South Africa, the UK, Japan, and Belgium. Based on the results, we argue that the university still needs a robust research funding and incentivization system, though research productivity has considerably improved over the past two decades. Furthermore, we recommend that the university's journals, which the Ministry of Education has accredited, be indexed in reputable international journal databases to enhance their visibility.

Published: June 2023

Objective: This study examined factors identified during early neonatal death audits contributing to preventable newborn deaths at the Upper East Regional Hospital.Method: Data for this study was collected retrospectively from perinatal death audit forms using three data collectors. Data collection lasted two weeks, from 18th June to 2nd July 2021. The data collectors submitted 113 filled hard copy data collection forms. This was then entered into a designed Excel sheet and exported to STATA software version 15.0 for analysis. The analysis was descriptive statistics with cross-tabulation. The results were presented in charts and tables focusing on percentages.Results: Most of the 113 neonatal deaths were from birth asphyxia (63%). Forty-six (40.7%) of the deaths occurred within 24 hrs after birth. There were 38 factors reported 254 times in the audits as contributory to all the newborn deaths; 17 health personnel-related factors stated 141 (55.5%) times, four transportation and communication-related factors stated 43 (16.9%) times, seven health facility factors stated 31 (12.2%) times. Inappropriate care during transportation to the regional hospital was reported most - 21 times, followed by delay in referral - 18 times.Conclusion: The study identified many factors, such as medical personnel-related factors, transportation and communication factors, family-related factors, and health facility administration factors, contributing to early neonatal deaths. Effective implementation of neonatal death audit-based recommendations arising from these contributory factors is critical to preventing avoidable newborn deaths.
A CURRENT RETENTION BASED PROTECTION ALGORITHM FOR DC MICROGRIDS
Authors: Srinivas Nirupama P , Modi Sangeeta
Published: June 2023

Microgrids have been identified as a step towards goals of global green energy generation as they offer attractive options of renewable resource inclusion in decentralized energy networks, thus providing incentive towards meeting a booming energy demand sustainably. They are however impaired by the characteristic nature of Distributed Renewable Energy Resources (DRERs). While DRERs and microgrids offer the advantage of sustainable energy generation and autonomous operation with respect to the traditional grid, their intermittency and unconventional characteristics due to deviation from the traditional power grid structures causes trepidation while opting for them. A cause of concern while employing microgrids in daily use is the peril to personnel and equipment during the occurrence of a fault. To mitigate severe loss of life and property, it is important to develop and design protection algorithms for microgrids. While there is a comparatively large pool of knowledge on AC microgrid protection, DC microgrid protection is challenging and is being focused on by researchers around the world. The unorthodox nature of these networks cause conventional protection algorithms to be unsuitable and make the protection of these microgrids tasking. The work in this paper aims to contribute to efforts in the protection of hybrid microgrids. While the work in this paper is limited to the DC side of the grid, the proposed algorithm is able to detect and identify the location of various types of DC faults. The algorithm is verified on a secondary radial hybrid microgrid and is further compared with existing DC protection algorithms on various performance parameters.
Separating Oil and Vinegar with a Single Trace

Published: June 2023

Due to recent cryptanalytical breakthroughs, the multivariate signature schemes that seemed to be most promising in the past years are no longer in the focus of the research community. Hence, the cryptographically mature UOV scheme is of great interest again. Since it has not been part of the NIST process for standardizing post-quantum cryptography so far, it has not been studied intensively for its physical security.In this work, we present a side-channel attack on the latest implementation of UOV. In the first part of the attack, a single side-channel trace of the signing process is used to learn all vinegar variables used in the computation. Then, we employ a combination of the Kipnis-Shamir attack and the reconciliation attack to reveal the complete secret key. Our attack, unlike previous work, targets the inversion of the central map and not the subsequent linear transformation. It further does not require the attacker to control the message to be signed.We have verified the practicality of our attack on a ChipWhisperer-Lite board with a 32-bit STM32F3 ARM Cortex-M4 target mounted on a CW308 UFO board. We publicly provide the code and both reference and target traces. Additionally, we discuss several countermeasures that can at least make our attack less efficient.

Published: June 2023

Two multivariate digital signature schemes, Rainbow and GeMSS, made it into the third round of the NIST PQC competition. However, neither made its way to being a standard due to devastating attacks (in one case by Beullens, the other by Tao, Petzoldt, and Ding). How should multivariate cryptography recover from this blow? We propose that, rather than trying to fix Rainbow and HFEv- by introducing countermeasures, the better approach is to return to the classical Oil and Vinegar scheme. We show that, if parametrized appropriately, Oil and Vinegar still provides competitive performance compared to the new NIST standards by most measures (except for key size). At NIST security level 1, this results in either 128-byte signatures with 44 kB public keys or 96-byte signatures with 67 kB public keys. We revamp the state-of-the-art of Oil and Vinegar implementations for the Intel/AMD AVX2, the Arm Cortex-M4 microprocessor, the Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA, and the Armv8-A microarchitecture with the Neon vector instructions set.

Published: June 2023

This paper aims to analyze and understand the increasing concentration of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) children through guessing games in Madrasahs. ADHD children have difficulty focusing, so learning while playing can be an alternative treatment. This research uses a qualitative case study approach. The data analysis technique is done through interviews, observation, and documentation. The data analysis uses Milles and Huberman's data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that with the stages of forming groups as a mirror of the guidance process, then conveying game instructions as a form of persuasion, starting a guessing game as a form of accompanying, and having rewards as a form of response and more attention from the teacher then the final score of the game was obtained. It is being done, which continues to increase. It can then be understood that guessing games can improve concentration in ADHD children at Madrasah Ibdtidaiyah Misbahul Fata, Probolinggo. This study provides implications about the importance of learning design based on the needs of students that teachers must carry out by utilizing a multidisciplinary approach so that learning targets can be achieved.

Published: June 2023

Scientific literacy is one of the basic skills to compete in an increasingly competitive life. Nevertheless, Indonesian students continue to have low levels of scientific literacy. This study aims to determine the difference in students' scientific literacy and cognitive learning outcomes in the experimental and control classes and to find students' responses to the ethnoscience-based PjBL model in learning. This quasi-experimental research applies a non-equivalent control group design. The samples were eleventh-grade science students at SMA Negeri 2 Banjarmasin in the even semester of the 2021/2022 academic year. The data were collected using test and non-test methods. The instruments were scientific literacy and cognitive learning tests and a response questionnaire as a non-test instrument. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential analysis. The results showed significant differences in scientific literacy and cognitive learning outcomes between students in the experimental and control classes. The ethnoscience-based PjBL model gets a very good response. This study concludes that implementing the ethnoscience-based PjBL model can improve students' scientific literacy and cognitive learning outcomes. This study contributes to chemistry learning by improving scientific literacy and learning outcomes through the ethnoscience-based PjBL model.

Published: June 2023

An educator or teacher must have adequate ability to use digital technology and communication tools to access, use, and even evaluate digital-based learning processes. This ability is referred to as the digital competence of a teacher in training his students to build new knowledge actively and creatively, which is very closely related to the lives of Generation Z who are active students today. The purpose of this study is to analyze the Digital Literacy Competence of Elementary School Teachers on Teacher Learning Management in Gandapura District. The sample in this study were elementary school teachers with thematic learning. The technique of data analysis through data reduction is by selecting every incoming data through observation, interviews, and documentation which are then summarized and selected according to the indicators needed. The findings of this study are that public elementary schools in Gandapura District have teachers who understand digitalization with low, medium, and high levels of understanding. So, it can be concluded that the digital competence of teachers has a good contribution to the development of effective and efficient teacher learning management. Teachers' digital literacy competencies can create student enthusiasm and harmony between teachers and students in the class on thematic lessons, especially science which is usually more difficult for students.

Authors: Wahidin Didin , Saefuloh Nandang Arif , Lestari Zubaedah Wiji
Published: June 2023

Since its independence, Indonesia has had to overcome numerous difficulties. Terrorism, radicalism, intolerance, and separatism (TRIS), which endangers Indonesia's unity, are one of the problems. According to numerous studies, many colleges are affected by the threats of terrorism, radicalism, intolerance, and separatism. This study aims to portray how religious moderation is implemented in non-religious universities in West Java. The implementation of religious moderation is seen from six indicators: understanding the concept, university policies about religious moderation, national commitment, tolerance, anti-violence attitudes, the accommodation of local wisdom, and compliance with laws and regulations. A mixed-method approach was used in this study, which was conducted at ten universities in West Java. Observation, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires were used to obtain the data. University leaders, lecturers, and students served as the data sources. The study concludes that non-religious universities in West Java have a good and enough carrying capacity and anticipatory readiness to stop the expansion of TRIS by enforcing religious moderation. However, to have a powerful deterrent against the rise of terrorism, radicalism, intolerance, and separatism, it is vital to deepen and affirm the commitment to religious moderation.
