Published: October 2023

An abrasion of the coastal areas has occurred at Sidangoli Gam Village, West Halmahera of North Maluku. The original condition was planted mangroves for coastal areas protection. However, it has recently been abraded due to big waves from the Pacific Ocean. Local people and the government constructed a conventional dike using coral stone and wooden piles. Nonetheless, this dike construction is designed without physical meaning. On the other hand, local people cannot be moved to another location because they have fishermen, and this place is very familiar to them. This research aimed to study the identification factor of coastal abrasion area in the field, such as observation in length, abrasion in width, the measured elevation of land, taken coordinates by using GPS (Global Positioning System) for two points and measuring the slope of the land, lithology of the soil layer, land use, and also enquire about how long people have lived in the nearby coastline area. Therefore, the index of susceptibility to abrasion, called IKP, will be presented. The index of susceptibility of abrasion (CVI) results are obtained at 48,99, a moderate vulnerability condition. This value is considered as shoreline change of 4.0, visually observed of 5.0, abrasion in the length of 1.0, abrasion in width of 4.0, green belt width of 4.0, soil lithology of 4.0, land use of 4.0 and slope on land of 5.0. These results may be conducted using coastal dikes to avoid big and high waves from the Pacific Ocean.

Published: October 2023

The design of taperless blades using the SG6043 Airfoil with different blade quantities through BEM simulation method is expected to serve as a reference for determining the design that yields the best operational efficiency. Simulation results show that the highest Cp value for the Taperless blade design is achieved with a variation of 3 wind turbine blades, resulting in a Cp value of 0.45 in the BEM simulation. The highest Cp value for the Taperless blade design with 4 wind turbine blades is 0.48 in the BEM simulation. Meanwhile, the highest Cp value for the Taperless blade design with 5 wind turbine blades is 0.47 in the BEM simulation. For low TSR values within the range of 1-4, turbines with 5 blades perform the best among various blade quantity variations, resulting in the highest Cp value. On the other hand, for high TSR values within the range of 5-10, turbines with the fewest blades, specifically 3 blades, achieve the highest Cp value.

Published: October 2023

Friction welding as joining method has a good joining condition. The results of FSW welding have the advantage that the surface is smoother and flatter than the results of arc welding. Friction rotary welding includes several stages, namely material welding and microstructural analysis. In this study the material welding was used copper and aluminum alloy 1100 with sizes 60mm, 50mm, 0.5mm and macro structural analysis using a digital microscope. Experiments were carried out using lap joints with dimensions of 100mm, 50mm, 0.5mm with variations in loading parameters of 30kgf, 40kgf, 50kgf and variations in shoulder diameters of 4mm, 6mm, 8mm. In the experiment, the larger the diameter of the shoulder, the greater the loading required to connect the two materials, but if the loading is too large, it can cause defects in the welding results. The welding results at the welding pressure parameter of 40kgf with a shoulder diameter of 8mm show that welding with these parameters is capable of performing welding because the areas of the welding results are evenly connected and there are no holes (hooks) in the welding results. The results of welding at a welding pressure parameter of 50kgf with a shoulder diameter of 8mm show that the results of joining the copper and aluminum are mixed evenly but damage the surface of the copper. The macro structural results show that the welding pressure affects the shoulder diameter, if the welding pressure is too large and the shoulder diameter is too small it will only damage the copper and aluminum material because it only has a thickness of 0.5 mm, and vice versa if the welding pressure is too small and the shoulder diameter is too large, the two materials cannot be connected. In this study, the best results were obtained with a shoulder diameter of 4mm and a pressure of 40kgf because there were no defects or holes in the welding results.

Published: October 2023

Indonesia is a target for international hackers. Weak public data security systems and the negligence of those who are authorized to guard data are used by hackers. Sensitive citizen data such as identity cards, family card numbers, cell phone numbers, passport numbers, and so on are weighted by Bjorka hackers. The Indonesian government found it difficult to arrest Bjorka and even arrested several times the wrong person he thought was Bjorka. This research tries to describe bloggers in Indonesia in an effort to clarify the figure of Bjorka. Researchers use Discourse/Non-Discourse Analysis. Indonesian bloggers believe that Bjorka is not a foreigner. By analyzing Indonesian Bjorka English, bloggers find Indoglish: “because since,” “a noise,”. Bjorka's excessive knowledge of Indonesians per case also indicates that he is part of Indonesia. He knows about the Munir, Denny Siregar, Puan Maharani, and Permadi Arya cases. Bjorka has higher political motives than economic ones. Bjorka's actions are not just data theft. He is part of a political game that is not visible to the eye. Bjorka was part of a power struggle.

Published: October 2023

Hoaxes and disinformation remain significant challenges for Indonesians in this era of information proliferation. A staggering number of approximately 2,093 hoaxes circulate within the society each year, averaging around 175 hoaxes per month.

Recognizing the urgency, the government has taken a proactive stance in the battle against disinformation, hoaxes, and hate speeches within society. Operating under the East Java Department of Communication and Information, they have established an information verification platform accessible at https://klinikhoaks.jatimprov.go.id/. This platform empowers individuals to actively ask for verification of the information they encounter through social media or other online sources.

On a monthly basis, the team engages in the verification of a minimum of fifty pieces of information. These items originate from public requests and the team's independent searches across various publicly accessible information channels. The information being examined covers a wide range of aspects, including the specific problem at hand, information based on region, the categorical classification of the data, and the sources of dissemination media.

Due to its inherent diversity, this study aims to comprehensively represent the verified information submissions on the website https://klinikhoaks.jatimprov.go.id/. It employs Krippendorff's content analysis framework; the research endeavours to cartographically delineate information categories, issue typologies, and media origins.

The research population comprises a total of 331 information, simultaneously serving as the research sample. These data points encapsulate the entire information meticulously authenticated by East Java Department of Communication and Information, spanning the temporal interval from February to August 2023.

Derived from the findings of this study, it becomes evident that the prevailing information disseminated within the society pertains predominantly to public figures, political matters, government affairs, and fraudulent activities. Concurrently, regarding information dissemination media, TikTok has emerged as a nascent source. However, platforms such as YouTube, WhatsApp, and Facebook are conduits for the most contentious information dissemination.

Authors: Baibatyrova Aigul A. , Zharkynbekova Sholpan K.
Published: October 2023

This study explores the rhetorical strategies employed in topic generalizations of increasing specificity in the introductions from the leading peer-reviewed journals. Specifically, we identified the substeps in Move1-Step1, which show how the writers promote the significance of the research area. The qualitative approach enabled us to distinguish eight substeps provisionally outlining the common patterning of the discourse and to analyze the linguistic choices enhancing the persuasiveness of claims. Citation, attitude markers, boosters and hedges have been found the most effective devices for preserving balance between assertion and concession. The quantitative analysis of the texts defined the frequency rate of the substeps discerned including their total sum of occurrences and percentages per introduction. The substep level analysis has contributed to scrutinizing the subtle communicative functions of the rhetorical strategies in the textual structure.

Published: October 2023

In Chile, since the ratification in 2008 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN 2006), laws and regulations have been developed in this area, being essential in them to guarantee accessibility. The purpose of putting these guarantees into practice for a group of university students with disabilities at the University of Concepción, in Chile is that in 2014 the INCLUDEC (Interdisciplinary Program for Inclusion) was created, whose objective has been to promote an intersectoral view on the inclusion of people with disabilities. This article describes the contributions of the INCLUDEC Program, mainly in the area of accessibility, of an educational institution that has a campus (Campus Concepción) declared a National Monument and how the interdisciplinary look of the program has allowed the development in the institution of inclusive practices, which are a national and international reference in the approach to this issue. The conclusion of this review shows that to continue advancing on the issue of accessibility, the INCLUDES volunteer program must move towards a necessary institutionalization as a directorate or unit, which maintains the condition of intersectoral operation and with a transversal view of the accessibility issue.

Lyme borreliosis (LB) is a multisystemic zoonotic disease transmitted by the bite of infected tick vectors.
The aim of the study is to develop a mathematical model for predicting the risk of severity of Lyme disease by the risk factor of the disseminated form of LB in children who have had a tick attack. To test the effectiveness of the formula for predicting the development of the disseminated stage of LB, we built a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and determined the specificity and sensitivity of our model. The results of the examination of 122 patients with the confirmed local and disseminated stages of LB were taken as a basis.

Material and methods

To build a prognostic model for prediction of the risk of the developing of the stage in LB predicting the risk of severity of course in Lyme borreliosis (PRSCLB), 122 children (aged 13 ±3 years) with LB were examined using multivariate regression analysis, including 52 boys and 70 girls. Groups of patients: 79 children with erythema migrans, 16 with Lyme arthritis, and 27 with nervous system involvement by LB. The quality of the prognostic model was checked by the Nagelkerke R Square (Nagelkerke R2) and the acceptability of this model was assessed using ROC analysis.

Results

The method of multivariate regression analysis for predicting severe course and organ and system damage in LB in children, taking into account the factors and variants of the disease itself, makes it possible to develop a mathematical model for predicting the relative response factors (RRF) of severe forms of Lyme disease and will improve the effectiveness of treatment. This will create all the prerequisites for high-quality preventive measures and reduce the relative response factors rate.
The initial data for predicting the severity of LB were 28 factors. According to the results of regression analysis, 24 factors were included in the model for predicting the severity of LB.

Conclusions

The results of the study showed that the multifactorial model predicts the severity and organ and system damage in LB in children with an accuracy of 95%. The ROC curve, which was built on the basis of the results, has an area under the curve of 0.94, which indicates the high efficiency of the model.

Background: In Uganda, the uptake of folic acid during pregnancy stands at 3.1% among all pregnant women which has led to an estimated 1400 children with spinal bifida annually. The purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant mothers towards the use of folic acid during antenatal at Entebbe Regional Referral Hospital, Wakiso district. Methodology: A descriptive and cross-sectional study design that employed quantitative data collection methods was used. A sample size of 30 respondents was selected using a simple random sampling method and responded to a structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel Programs that presented it in the form of frequency tables, pie charts, and graphs. Results: The study results on knowledge revealed that 71.4% had received information about folic acid from health workers, 56.7% did not know the recommended time of starting folic acid, 83.3% knew that they should take one tablet daily and 53.3% knew anemia as a danger of not taking folic acid. Regarding attitude; 43.3% believed that folic acid should not be taken throughout pregnancy, 66.7% disagreed that folic acid can be taken without a prescription, and 76.7% did not feel comfortable taking folic acid during pregnancy. Conclusion: The study concluded that mothers were moderately knowledgeable about folic acid use during pregnancy although they had negative attitudes. Recommendation: It is recommended that health education about folic acid use should be strengthened through the media and at the health facility which will aid in improving mothers’ knowledge and attitudes.

Published: October 2023

This paper shares insights from founding and running a large international cross-disciplinary, cross-disability virtual conference (Including Disability Global Summit) and accompanying online journal (Including Disability) that has built a global network of disabled people, advocates, educators, scholars, government officials, family members, and other allies and accomplices. Founding members share challenges, lessons learned, best practices, and technological solutions that could support virtual event planning and facilitation across different types of disabilities, languages, and locations, as well as detailing issues such as advertising, registration, real-time participation, and software selection for events with many disabled participants. This paper also reflects on the role of collaborative mentorship and the necessity of volunteers to help bring the original vision to life. Ultimately, the paper meditates on the possibility of embracing the opportunity when confronted by the need.
Leadership for Staff Hope: Can it Offer Similar Outcomes as Student Hope?
Authors: Fancera Samuel F
Published: October 2023

A more robust evidence base around the positive aspects of schools might influence leaders to do more to align their efforts to enhance the positives, rather than to focus on mitigating the negatives, to improve school and student outcomes. The purpose of this research was to assess whether staff hope offered similar academic achievement and school climate outcomes as student hope. Findings from this cross sectional survey research using the Perceived Hope Scale with 45 schools in one U.S. state indicated staff hope scores were unrelated with school socioeconomic status, but related with one measure of school climate – student to faculty ratio. This measure of school climate predicted staff hope when modeled with school level socioeconomic status, offering a potential practical finding. These findings overall, however, do not suggest that staff hope offered similar outcomes as student hope with regard to academic achievement. This study contributes to the hope in schools evidence base and provides support for future research to examine the role of staff hope to influence various school and student level outcomes.
Psychological Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Children with Disabilities and Their Families

Published: October 2023

The current study aims to reveal the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Egypt. It also focuses on the perceptions of their parents and the difficulties they faced during the pandemic. The study focused on collecting data from four to ten-year-old autistic children and their families, who frequently attended a day-care center in Cairo, Egypt. qualitative ethnographic method design was used in the study, with qualitative data collected from 20 families using semi-structured interviews. The Adaptive Behavior Scale (ABAS-11) was applied and analyzed using content analysis. The findings showed the pandemic had a negative impact on the psychological and behavioral aspects of children with ASD, as well as a negative psychological impact on their families. It calls for the continued need for parents and their children for counseling, guidance, and psychological support. This negative impact on families was because of the parents’ lack of knowledge of the characteristics of their child with a disability. The study concluded that it is necessary to train parents on how to deal well with their children with disabilities, an outcome of this study, the researcher launched an initiative called ‘The Specialized Mother Initiative’ and has invited over 50 Egyptian institutions working with children with disabilities in over 15 governorates. Its aim is to train Egyptian families on the scientific method of dealing with their children with disabilities, and in particular, children with autism.
Examining Black and Latinx College Students’ Perceived Stress, Resilience, and Networking Efficacy: A Social Capital Perspective
Authors: Cabell Autumn , Medina Carlos
Published: October 2023

Black and Latinx college students often have disparate access to social capital opportunities and experience more stress in comparison to their White counterparts. However, many students are resilient. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between perceived stress, resilience, and networking efficacy in a sample of predominantly Black and Latinx students (N = 114). The results of the linear regression indicated that resilience mediated the negative influences of perceived stress in relation to networking efficacy. Implications are discussed for how college career counselors can (a) help Black and Latinx students increase resiliency, (b) address stress, and (c) build social capital.
