Multikulturalisme merupakan suatu pengertian atau kondisi suatu masyarakat yang terdiri dari banyak kebudayaan. Pengetahuan dimulai dari sikap budaya yang ditemui dalam  situasi apa pun yang melibatkan sekelompok orang dari latar belakang budaya berbeda dan dibangun melalui keterampilan yang mendukung proses komunikasi efektif dengan setiap orang. Masyarakat multikultural merupakan suatu kesatuan sosial dimana kelompok suku, budaya, dan agama yang berbeda hidup berdampingan dalam satu kesatuan. Keberagaman ini menciptakan lingkungan yang penuh perbedaan dan menimbulkan dinamika sosial yang unik. Dalam masyarakat multikultural, interaksi antarbudaya merupakan kunci  pembentukan identitas kolektif. Pertukaran nilai, norma, dan tradisi antar kelompok memperkaya pengalaman hidup komunal. Namun menjaga keharmonisan memiliki tantangan tersendiri, sehingga penting untuk menghormati perbedaan. Pendidikan berperan penting dalam membangun pemahaman dan toleransi dalam masyarakat multikultural. Sekolah adalah tempat di mana keberagaman dirasakan, nilai-nilai budaya dihormati dan sikap inklusif dipromosikan. Dengan demikian, terciptalah masyarakat multikultural sebagai lingkungan yang menerima dan menghormati individualitas setiap orang. Keberhasilan masyarakat multikultural juga didukung oleh langkah-langkah yang mendukung integrasi dan partisipasi semua kelompok di berbagai bidang seperti ekonomi, politik, dan masalah sosial. Dengan memberikan ruang bagi partisipasi yang setara, masyarakat multikultural dapat membangun ikatan solidaritas yang kuat, menghadapi perubahan dengan bijak dan menciptakan hidup berdampingan secara harmonis. Multikulturalisme di Indonesia tumbuh dan berkembang dari nasionalisme. Multikulturalisme Indonesia mengakui keberagaman budaya suku bangsa di Indonesia dan bahkan menjadi dasar keberagaman hidup berdampingan di Indonesia. Keberagaman budaya suku bangsa di Indonesia bukan menjadi pemecah belah melainkan menjadi faktor pemersatu bangsa. Multikulturalisme juga dapat  dipahami sebagai pandangan dunia yang  diwujudkan dalam berbagai cara. Sejarah pendidikan multikultural telah melalui beberapa fase, yang paling menonjol adalah upaya standarisasi studi etnis di semua kurikulum. Multikulturalisme  penting karena mempengaruhi pembicaraan dan perilaku sosial antara individu dan masyarakat, serta  kebijakan pemerintah untuk menjaga keadilan dan persatuan nasional.

Published: April 2024

The impact of special economic zones (SEZ) on the sustainability of their peripheral areas is rarely measured and discussed. This research was conducted to determine the sustainability level of the Arun Lhokseumawe SEZ generated to its surrounding area before and after the exhaustion of its natural gas resources. The statistical matching method and the Moran index used for the analysis involved 14 sustainability variables representing social, economic, and environmental dimensions. The method used includes building the sustainability index using village level data, statistical matching to find evidence of impact, and determination of the Moran index to describe its spatial patterns. Additionally, the index was used to describe the policy implication based on the current SEZ sustainability level. The results show that there is no upward trend in the sustainability index after three years of operation, except for an increase in the SEZ (inside) in 2018 which then declines again in 2021. This figure is lower than before natural gas depletion. It was found that, in 2008, the spatial pattern of the high sustainability index mainly spread to areas outside the Arun Lhokseumawe industrial area. Meanwhile, in 2021, the spatial pattern of a high sustainability index clustered near the Arun Lhokseumawe special economic zone.

Published: April 2024

Multispectral satellite images are valuable sources of information for ecologists, agriculture climatologists, or environmentalists. Handling satellite images represents a challenge for better understanding the global change. The Belezma massif by its exceptional geographical position in the Mediterranean region of Northeast Algeria constitutes a fragile hot spot ecosystem with all the degradation factors that directly affect all landcovers.
The objective of this study is to determine the contribution of satellite images in the detection of land cover global changes between 1986 and 2021 and landscape monitoring in Belezma region.
The methodology adopted is the spatial remote sensing of the evolution of forest stands and the change in land cover, from the processing of Landsat images (L05 TM 1986, L07 ETM+ 2001 and L08 OLI_TIRS 2021) and sampling work for confrontation with the reality on the ground.
The outcomes of this investigation demonstrate a general regression rate in the natural vegetation cover that the cedar forest, the steppe, and the wetlands lost 42%, 49%, and 97%, respectively, of their areas between 1986 and 2021, while the degraded and anthropic occupations have increased in favor of market gardening, bare soil, urban areas, and arboriculture by 836%, 158%, 131%, and 50%, respectively, over the same period. This study made it possible to identify and analyze 13 main land uses and plant formations over a period of 35 years, which can be used as a decision-making aid model for the managers of these territories.

Phenolic compounds have gained international interest due to their carcinogenic, toxic, and bioaccumulative properties, causing adverse effects in both animals and humans. As a result, there is a growing interest in finding alternative and eco-friendly treatment routes for phenol by exploring new microbial cultures with potential adaptation and biodegradation capabilities. In this study, the phenol removal efficiency of Yarrowia lipolytica YQ22 under laboratory conditions was determined. The YQ22 strain was obtained from diesel samples from a fuel station in Trujillo, Peru, isolated through serial dilutions on Sabouraud agar, and identified through its morphological characteristics using microscopy and molecular analysis by polymerase chain reaction of the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and 5.8S regions. In the treatment, the effect of pH (5, 6 and 7) and temperature (25°C, 30°C and 35°C) on phenol removal with 2% (v/v) inoculum of Yarrowia lipolytica from 48-hour growth was evaluated. Phenol concentration was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. A maximum phenol removal percentage of 61.18 was obtained for YQ22 at 30°C, pH 5 and 120 rpm during 48 hours. These findings demonstrate the ability of Yarrowia lipolytica to remove phenol and suggest its potential use in the field of bioremediation of phenolic compounds and their derivatives.

Published: April 2024

Strategic planning of university campuses (UC) aims to harmonize nature, humans, and architectural complexes, enhancing the positive university image through specialized green and recreation zones. Highly urbanized UC areas, particularly with nearby roads, encounter increased technogenic load and pose additional health hazards. The purpose of the paper is the evaluation of the environmental safety level of the UC recreational territories on the example of campuses of Kyiv universities, located nearby highly loaded roads, using a complex of express methods of analysis, mathematical modeling and criterion-based approach, considering the main green economy principles. The scientific novelty of the paper and the authors’ contribution is in the assessment of the environmental safety level of city-type UC recreational territories being under the significant technogenic load from vehicle emissions. Such express analysis methods as densimetry, viscometry, stalagmometry, conductometry, potentiometry and optical methods, and in particular, refractometric studies have been used to assess the impact of vehicle emissions. The mathematical modeling and computational experiment have been carried out for dispersion fields of the main vehicle emissions pollutants. Ecologically acceptable distances from the road considering the specifics of recreational territory have been determined using the integral index of technogenic load. Propositions for minimizing human health hazards and improving the system of environmental monitoring of such territories have been provided and substantiated. The study also confirms the positive effects of environmental management and green marketing principles synergy, benefiting both nature and humans as well as the university image. Obtained results can be used for the design and reconstruction of UC and their recreational areas, as well as for planning roads located nearby the campuses, improving traffic on them. It is also convenient to foresee the enhancement of the environmental activities in the student research work and create student communities for monitoring the UC environmental state and the development of eco-startup projects.

Perspective Chapter: Frontal Sinus – Updates on Classification and Surgical Approaches
Authors: Singh Gendeh Hardip , Singh Gendeh Balwant
Published: April 2024

Endoscopic approaches to the frontal sinus have grown significantly in the last decades and due to its complex anatomy, including the possibility of pneumatization in different cells and anatomical variations, possess numerous challenges to the endoscopic surgeon. Moreover, the proximity to noble structures such as the cribriform plate, orbit and anterior ethmoidal artery can increase the risk of injury. Unlike the maxillary, ethmoidal and sphenoidal sinuses, the frontal sinus is not in line of visualization with a zero-degree endoscope and often requires an angled endoscope. Several anatomical classification methods have already been proposed for frontal sinus, however, these previous systems present limitations of anatomical details. In 2016, the International Frontal Sinus Anatomy Classification (IFAC) was described by Wormald et al. The authors propose improved classification of the frontoethmoidal cell in diagrammatic nomenclature to facilitate greater accessibility in surgical planning.
Decoding Student Success in Higher Education: A Comparative Study on Learning Strategies of Undergraduate and Graduate Students
Authors: Santos Ricardo , Henriques Roberto
Published: April 2024

Learning management systems (LMS) provide a rich source of data about the engagement of students with courses and their materials that tends to be underutilized in practice. In this paper, we use data collected from the LMS to uncover learning strategies adopted by students and compare their effectiveness. Starting from a sample of over 11,000 enrollments at a Portuguese information management school, we extracted features indicative of self-regulated learning (SRL) behavior from the associated interactions. Then, we employed an unsupervised machine learning algorithm (k-means) to group students according to the similarity of their patterns of interaction. This process was conducted separately for undergraduate and graduate students. Our analysis uncovered five distinct learning strategy profiles at both the undergraduate and graduate levels: 1) active, prolonged and frequent engagement; 2) mildly frequent and task-focused engagement; 3) mildly frequent, mild activity in short sessions engagement; 4) likely procrastinators; and 5) inactive. Mapping strategies with the students' final grades, we found that students at both levels who accessed the LMS early and frequently had better outcomes. Conversely, students who exhibited procrastinating behavior had worse end-of-course grades. Interestingly, the relative effectiveness of the various learning strategies was consistent across instruction levels. Despite the LMS offering an incomplete and partial view of the learning processes students employ, these findings suggest potentially generalizable relationships between online student behaviors and learning outcomes. While further validation with new data is necessary, these connections between online behaviors and performance could guide the development of personalized, adaptive learning experiences.

Spirit Tactics, Exorcising Dances
Authors: Hall Joshua M. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2024

In Michel de Certeau’s Invention of the Everyday, improvisational community dance function as a catalyst for the subversive art of the oppressed, via its ancient Greek virtue/power of mētis, being “foxlike.” And in de Certeau’s The Possession of Loudun, this foxlike dance moves to the stage, as an improv chorus that disrupts the events at Loudon when reimagined as a tetralogy of plays at City Dionysia. More precisely, Loudun’s tetralogy could be interpreted as a series of three tragedies and one comedy, the latter of which involves the chorine nuns’ channeling of anomie into a proto-feminist transfiguration. More precisely, the tactical prowess of the nuns’ chorus leader, namely the prioress Jeanne des Anges, elevates her to the status of an angelic prophet, which in de Certeau’s theatrical dancing critique makes her the Loudun tetralogy’s Dionysian, foxlike mage. In conclusion, this analysis suggests de Certeau’s relevance for revolutionary social justice today.

Authors: Okok Meshack Owira , Deya Jared , Rotich Gladys
Published: April 2024

Aim: The pharmaceutical companies operating in Kenya have not been spared by the environmental turbulence and increased competition since liberalization of the industry. The main objective of the study was to assess the effects of technological capability on the performance of pharmaceutical companies in Kenya.
Methods: The population comprised the 415 pharmaceutical companies that are operating in Kenya. The study used stratified random sampling with sample size of 103 respondents. The study targeted both manufacturers and distributors. Primary and secondary data was collected using a questionnaire covering the five variables and background information. The data was analysed using SPSS version 23.0, descriptive statistics was computed using mean, frequencies, percentages and inferential statistics to test the relationship between the study variables.
Results: The correlation analysis revealed that there was a positive and significant association between technological capability and firm performance (r = 0.685, p = 0.000). Regression of coefficients results revealed that technological capability and firm performance are positively and significantly related (β =0.603, p=0.000). This implies that a unit increase in technological capability would lead to increase in firm performance by 0.603 units.
Conclusion: Technological capability of a firm stands to be one of the main determinants of how well the organization performs in terms of efficiency and effectiveness.
Recommendations: Pharmaceutical companies should embrace information technology by bringing modern and automated means of production as well as information sharing platforms that create the uniqueness, efficiency and effectiveness of their firms.
Jambu, a new genus of tarantula from Brazil (Araneae, Theraphosidae, Theraphosinae)
Authors: Miglio Laura T. , Perafán Carlos , Pérez-Miles Fernando
Published: April 2024

The genus Jambu gen. nov. is proposed based on two new species: Jambu paru gen. et sp. nov. and Jambu manoa gen. et sp. nov. Hapalopus butantan is transferred to Jambu; consequently, Jambu butantan gen. et comb. nov. is proposed. The geographic distribution of J. butantan is extended on the basis of new material collected. The new genus and the new species are here diagnosed, described and illustrated. The shape of the genitalia of Jambu resembles that of Hapalopini but differs from most of them by the presence of type IV urticating setae. The presence of this type of urticating setae allows us to hypothesize that this new genus is phylogenetically related with Grammostolini. Males of Jambu differ from those of other genera of Grammostolini by the presence of a paraembolic apophysis on the palpal bulb. Females also differ from those of other Grammostolini by the spermathecae morphology, with one medial lamp-shaped or heart-shaped receptacle. The homology of some features and the taxonomic placement of the new genus are discussed.
Systemic Immune Inflammation Index and Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Correlate with Fasting Glucose Levels Among Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Authors: Güven Alper Tuna
Published: April 2024

Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) pathogenesis involves low-grade chronic inflammation, which can be measured via surrogate markers such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune inflammation index (SII), and pan-immune inflammation value (PIIV). They were demonstrated to be correlated with T2DM-related outcomes, including mortality, akin to glycemic indices of fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin. However, it is not clear whether a correlation exists between inflammatory markers and glycemic indices.
Methods: A retrospective study was designed. Clinical and medication variables, glycemic control variables, and complete blood count differential variables were acquired via electronic medical records. NLR, PLR, SIIV, and PIIV values were calculated. Correlation analyses between fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin values, and inflammatory indices were conducted.
Results: Sixty-three patients were included in the study. The median fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels were 115 mg/dL and 6.2%, respectively. SII and NLR significantly correlated with fasting blood glucose levels (r = .271, p = .032, and r = .364 p = .003, respectively). Although PIIV and NLR showed a correlation trend with glycated hemoglobin (r = .238 and r = .236, respectively), this correlation did not reach statistical significance (p = .061 and p = .062, respectively).
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that SII and NLR are not only associated with long-term diabetic complications but are also correlated with the cross-sectional glycemic index of fasting blood glucose. Further studies with larger patient groups have the potential to demonstrate significant correlations between inflammatory indices and glycated hemoglobin levels.

Substrate based inoculum production using traditional “Pot Culture” technique contains all AMF structures, and is highly infective and common method of AM fungal production and pure culture maintenance. Aim of the present study was to investigate the microorganisms associated (Bacteria, Fungi, Actinomycetes, Nitrogen fixers, P-solubilizers) with pot cultures of 10 AM fungal cultures like Acaulospora laevis, Gigaspora margarita, Funneliformis caledonius, Rhizophagus fasciculatus, Rhizophagus intraradices, Ambispora leptoticha, Glomus macrocarpum, Funneliformis mosseae, Glomus bagyarajii and Entrophospora etunicata (=Claroideoglomus etunicatum) through quantitative analysis. The highest bacterial population (37×107 and 35×107) were associated with pots of G. margarita and R. fasciculatus respectively. The highest fungal population was observed in pots of Glomus macrocarpum (87×105) and R. fasciculatus (82×105). The F. caledonius and R. fasciculatus pot cultures harboured the highest actinomycetes population. The highest N-fixing and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (92×104 and 54×104) were isolated from the pots of R. fasciculatus and G. margarita respectively. However, the highest dehydrogenase activity was observed in the sample collected from pots of R. fasciculatus. These findings highlight the distinct preferences and proliferation rates of different microbial groups in the pot cultures of different AM fungal species.

In the sixteenth century, politico-religious persecution led English Catholics to develop a technique for dealing with Protestant inquiries while avoiding the sin of perjury. Conceived by Henry Garnet in his Treatise of Equivocation, the practice consisted of formulating sentences that were always true but had two different meanings: one easy to understand but false; the other true but complex and hidden. This article investigates how some Shakespearean heroines explore this technique to answer questions in distressing situations. As the persecuted politico-religious minority did in history these misguided heroines seek to protect themselves or those whom they love in the plays.
