Penerapan Discovery Learning dalam pembelajaran himpunan untuk mengoptimalkan hasil belajar matematika berorientasi pada HOTS
Authors: Dwikoraningrum Tien
Published: August 2023

Dalam praktik pembelajaran Kurikulum 2013 yang penulis lakukan selama ini, penulis menggunakan buku siswa dan buku guru. Penulis meyakini bahwa buku tersebut sudah sesuai dan baik digunakan di kelas karena diterbitkan oleh Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan. Ternyata, dalam praktiknya, penulis mengalami beberapa kesulitan seperti materi dan tugas tidak sesuai dengan latar belakang siswa. Selain itu, penulis masih berfokus pada penguasaan pengetahuan kognitif yang lebih mementingkan hafalan materi. Dengan demikian proses berpikir siswa masih dalam level C1 (mengingat), memahami (C2), dan C3 (aplikasi). Guru hampir tidak pernah melaksanakan pembelajaran yang berorientasi pada keterampilan berpikir tingkat tinggi (higher order thinking skills/ HOTS).  Penulis juga jarang menggunakan media pembelajaran. Dampaknya, suasana pembelajaran di kelas kaku, kurang menarik dan siswa tampak tidak ceria.

Byzantine Countryside with its Villagers and Dynatoi: the Example of the Soğanlı Valley, Cappadocia
Authors: Karaca H. Ceylan
Published: August 2023

The Soğanlı Valley is on the main route that connects Niğde and Kayseri. Its arable land, rock-cut dwellings that housed a large population and an openly parochial complex from the tenth century indicate that the settlement contained a Byzantine village. Its masonry church, a rare element from late antiquity, exemplifies the special status of the settlement in early Christianity and foreshadows its ongoing importance in the Middle Ages. The eleventh-century inscriptions are the indicators of the middle and high-ranking soldiers in the settlement. Apparently, Soğanlı was one of the settlements chosen for the military leaders of the century and became a piece of land held by them. The powerful (dynatoi) who settled near this crucial route must have been meant not only to control that route but also to maintain their economic welfare from the territory. Thus, Soğanlı had a twofold prominence as a Byzantine countryside: It was a part of the defence strategy the empire attempted to formulate in medieval Cappadocia; furthermore, it housed important archaeological, epigraphical and art historical data on the medieval period of the region with its monuments of various functions and inscriptions. Soğanlı and its ‘dynatoi’ endured within the new administrative system after Manzikert. The study aims to examine the ‘village’ identity of the settlement especially in the tenth century, and to analyse the activity and continuity of the powerful in Soğanlı and the empire. Within this aim, the study uses the military, historical, legislative texts of the period, and architectural and archaeological data from the valley.
A Preliminary Study on Chapters Related to Human Anatomy in An Illustrated Persian Medical Book: Tānksūqnāme-i Īlkhān Der Funūn-i ʿUlūm-i Khaṭāʾī
Authors: Acıduman Ahmet , Şems Şehriyar , Arda Berna , Kırilen Gürhan
Published: August 2023

Tānksūqnāme-i Īlkhān Der Funūn-i ʿUlūm-i Khaṭāʾī is one of the rarest illustrated medical books in medieval Islamic geography. It is also one of the most uncommon books translated into Persian from Chinese belonging to Cathay medicine in the Islamic world during that era. The Tānksūqnāme was translated by order of Faḍl-Allah Rashīd al-Dīn Ibn ʿImād al-Dawla Abū al-Khayr (1247-1318), after Oljeitu Khodabandeh (r. 1304 – 1317) became the ruler in 1304. One of the rarest, probably the unique copy of the Tānksūqnāme-i Īlkhān is in Ayasofya collection, Nr. 3596 in İstanbul Süleymaniye Manuscript Library. Although the work consists of four volumes/books, we only have the first one. It was copied by a scribe, Muḥammad b. Aḥmad b. Maḥmūd Qiwām (Qawwām) al-Kirmānī, in Tabrīz on 20 Shaʿbān 713/10 December 1313 during the reign of Oljeitu Khodabandeh, the eighth ruler of Ilkhanid dynasty in Persia. The first volume of Tānksūqnāme-i Īlkhān Der Funūn-i ʿUlūm-i Khaṭāʾī has chapters and illustrations on human anatomy written and drawn following the Chinese originals. The aim of this study is to present the anatomical knowledge in this book and evaluate it by comparing the classical scientific anatomical knowledge of medieval Islamic medicine.
Karacahisar Kalesi’nde Bulunan Bir Sikkenin İzinde: Ramazan 790 Tarihli I. Murad Sikkeleri
Authors: Yılmazyaşar Hasan , Teoman Gültekin
Published: August 2023

Bu makalenin konusu Osmanlı sikkeleri içerisinde üzerinde ilk kez görülen ifadeler içeren I. Murad dönemine ait Ramazan 790 tarihli mangırlardır. Bu sikke tipi, üzerinde darbedildiği tarihi ay detayı (Ramazan) ile birlikte veren tek Osmanlı sikkesi olması bakımından önemlidir. Sikke ayrıca, Osmanlı dönemi mangırları içerisinde üzerinde sultanın babasının adının yazılmadığı tek örnektir. Sikkenin üzerinde yazan “azze nasruhu” ibaresinin Osmanlı mangırları içerisinde ilk defa bu tip üzerinde görülmesi de dikkate değer bir diğer özelliktir. Birçoğu müze ve özel koleksiyonlarda olmak üzere tespit edilmiş çok sayıda Ramazan 790 tarihli sikke olmasına karşın, bugüne kadar bahsi geçen sikke tipinin nümizmatik açısından detaylı incelemesi ve sikkelerdeki verilerin temsil ettiği tarihsel süreç ile ilişkisi sebep sonuç bağlamında ele alınarak değerlendirilmemiştir. 2001 yılından itibaren aralıklarla devam eden Karacahisar Kalesi kazılarının 2019-2022 yılları arasındaki sürecinde I. Murad dönemine ait 281 adet (7 akçe, 274 mangır) sikke bulunmuş olup bu sikkelerden 40’ı makalenin konusu olan Ramazan 790 tarihli mangırlardır. Bu sikke, üzerinde net tarih bildirildiği için ele geçtiği kontekstte karşılaşılan diğer arkeolojik verilerin tarihlenmesine önemli katkı sunmuş, aynı zamanda Karacahisar Kalesi’nin tarihsel süreci ile yazılı kaynakların çok az olduğu bir tarihsel aralığa dair önemli çıkarımlara kaynaklık etmiştir. Çalışmamızda Karacahisar Kalesi kazılarında bulunan örneklerin ışığında bahsi geçen sikke tipinin nümizmatik bilimi çerçevesinde analizi yapılarak değerlendirilmiş, bu sikke grubunda ilk kez karşılaşılan tercihlerin sebepleri üzerinde durulmuştur. Ayrıca bu makalede 1388 yılının 3 Eylül ile 2 Ekim aralığındaki bir tarihte basılan sikke ile yakın tarihlerde gerçekleşen tarihsel olayların bağlantısının olup olamayacağı sebep sonuç ilişkisi bağlamında tartışılmıştır.
Osmanlı Devleti’nde Kur’an Basımının İlk Safhası
Authors: Zengin Zeki Salih
Published: August 2023

Osmanlı Devleti’nde matbaa İstanbul’da ilk defa dinî kitapların basılmaması kaydıyla 1727 yılında kurulmuştur. Dinî kitapların basılması yasağı XIX. Asrın başlarında kaldırılmasına rağmen Kur’an basımı henüz söz konusu değildir. Hâlbuki yaklaşık üç asırdır Kur’an Avrupa’da basıldığı gibi XIX. Asırdan itibaren diğer Müslüman ülkelerde de basılmaktadır. Osmanlı Devleti’nin basıma izin vermemesinin nedeni, metnin güvenilirliğinin sağlanması ve basım esnasında gerekli hürmetin gösterilmesi konusundaki endişeler yüzünden Meşihat’ın Kur’an’ın matbaada basılmasının dinî açıdan uygun olmayacağına dair kararıdır. Bununla birlikte asıl nedenin din anlayışı, kültür ve geleneğin muhafazası olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Avrupa yanında özellikle İslam coğrafyasında basılan Mushafların ülkeye girişi yasaklanmasına rağmen engellenemediği gibi yurt içinde de kaçak yollarla basımın önüne geçilememiştir. Matbu Kur’an’ın talep görmesinin en önemli nedeni fiyatının uygun olmasıdır. Çözüm, önce Londra’da basılan Mushafların ülkeye girişine izin verilmesinde aranmış; ancak bunun yeterli olmadığı anlaşılmıştır. Nihaî çözüm, gerekli önlemler alındıktan sonra Mushaf ’ın devletin kontrolü altında basılmasında bulunmuştur. Böylece, Bab-ı Âli’nin 1873 yılında aldığı kararın ardından Osmanlı Devleti’nde yasal yollarla Kur’an basımı ilk defa 1874 yılında Maarif Nezaretinin denetimi altında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kur’an basımı 1883 yılına kadar devlet denetiminde yapıldıktan sonra özel bir matbaa olan Matbaa-i Osmaniye’de devam etmiştir. Makalede Kur’an’ın basıldığı 1874 yılından önceki dönemde basıma karar verilmesine neden olan ve 1883 yılına kadarki gelişmeler hakkında bilgi verilmiştir.
influencia del clima escolar en el aprendizaje
Authors: Mardones Soto Giselle
Published: August 2023

El clima escolar tiene un papel fundamental en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes, puesto que incide en la pertenencia y el sentir del alumnado con su entorno. Este artículo presenta una revisión sistemática de estudios empíricos sobre el tema mediante el método PRISMA, y tiene como objetivo identificar los factores del clima escolar que influyen en el aprendizaje de los alumnos, verificando la relevancia de un clima positivo. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que un clima desfavorable disminuye la motivación y la participación e induce la falta de compromiso, problemas para que los estudiantes gestionen sus emociones y su sentido de pertenencia, además de dificultar el desarrollo de sus relaciones socioafectivas. Se considera que los factores mencionados influyen en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes, lo que se comprueba en el rendimiento académico individual. Las conclusiones señalan la necesidad de considerar estos vectores educativos para optimizar el aprendizaje y los resultados de las evaluaciones.

En los últimos años en Chile, se han implementado políticas educativas con enfoques diversos que han coexistido de manera simultánea; por un lado, el de accountability y, por otro, el de derechos, que promueve una educación inclusiva. En este contexto, el propósito del presente artículo es conocer la percepción de los docentes sobre la educación inclusiva en aulas de un colegio particular pagado de alta exigencia académica de la región de Coquimbo. El estudio tuvo un carácter cualitativo con un diseño descriptivo, y se realizó mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas a nueve profesores. El análisis de contenido reveló que los docentes perciben que es posible implementar la educación inclusiva en un colegio con alta exigencia académica, siempre y cuando se den las condiciones necesarias; no obstante, no hay consenso sobre si esto pudiese afectar el rendimiento de los estudiantes en las pruebas estandarizadas.
A Standardized, Large-Scale Ecosystem Assessment for the Southern Ocean and the Underpinning Role of Biodiversity Data
Authors: Melbourne-Thomas Jess , Constable Andrew , Muelbert Mônica
Published: August 2023

Assessments of change in ecosystems and their drivers are central for meeting the challenge of conserving biodiversity in the long term. Such assessments support national and international agencies to implement management actions that sustain natural systems and maintain the delivery of ecosystem services. Change in marine systems may arise directly from human activities (e.g., fisheries), indirectly from local or global activities (cascading effects through food webs from fisheries or changing environments from climate change and/or ocean acidification), or from naturally varying processes. A particular challenge for managers is to understand the likely impacts of future climate change on ecosystems, and to consider what actions might be needed (climate change mitigation and adaption) to continue to meet conservation requirements into the future. For large regions such as the Southern Ocean, which have the attention of many management or policy-oriented bodies, a standardized process is needed to harmonize the scientific information on the status and trends in ecosystems used by the different bodies. That process also needs to ensure the information is available in a timely manner.

The Marine Ecosystem Assessment for the Southern Ocean (MEASO) is the first circumpolar interdisciplinary assessment of Southern Ocean ecosystem status and trends. It is a core activity of the program Integrating Climate and Ecosystem Dynamics in the Southern Ocean (ICED) (a regional program of Integrated Marine Biosphere Research), and co-sponsored by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR). MEASO is a spatially-structured circumpolar ecosystem assessment that has drawn on a broad range of data, including biodiversity data. It has been a 5-year inclusive international activity, modelled on a working group of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, providing a forward-looking assessment of status and trends in Southern Ocean ecosystems. To date, it has involved over 200 scientists from across the Antarctic and Southern Ocean scientific community (18 countries, >50% identifying as women, >40% early career), contributing to 25 research articles published in a special research topic in Frontiers journals*1.

This presentation will describe the MEASO process and highlight over-arching findings and key messages for Southern Ocean ecosystems. It will highlight the underpinning importance of biodiversity data and standards, and will provide an overview of priorities for improving future assessments and policy-relevant advice, including those that relate to data standards and FAIR principles (the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse of digital assets).

Ixeridium sagittarioides (Asteraceae-Cichorieae) revisited: range extension and molecular evidence for its systematic position in the Lactuca alliance
Authors: Zhang Jian-Wen , Kilian Norbert , Huang Jiang-Hua , Sun Hang
Published: August 2023

Our first record of the rare and scatteredly distributed Ixeridium sagittarioides for Guizhou, China, triggered a study to assess its systematic position. The species was placed in four different genera in the course of its taxonomic history and was recently treated with doubts as a member of Ixeridium in the Flora of China. Comparative morphological investigation and phylogenetic analyses based on the nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (nrITS) and five non-coding plastid DNA regions (petD region, psbA-trnH, trnL-trnF, rpl32-trnL (UAG) and 5´rps16-trnQ (UUG) spacers) provided evidence that the species is not a member of Ixeridium and the Crepidinae but has evolved by ancient hybridisation of members of the Lactuca alliance (Lactucinae). It is reinstated as Lactuca sagittarioides and a comprehensive morphological description is provided, based on material from its entire range of distribution.

Long-term renal outcomes of patients with non-proliferative lupus nephritis
Authors: Kang Eun-Song , Ahn Soo Min , Oh Ji Seon , Kim Yong-Gil , Lee Chang-Keun , Yoo Bin , Hong Seokchan
Published: August 2023

Background/Aims: Although non-proliferative lupus nephritis (LN) (class I, II or V) has been considered as a less severe type of LN, data on long-term renal prognosis are limited. We investigated the long-term outcomes and prognostic factors in non-proliferative LN.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with systemic lupus erythematosus who were diagnosed with LN class I, II, V, or II + V by kidney biopsy from 1997 to 2021. A poor renal outcome was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2.Results: We included 71 patients with non-proliferative LN (class I = 4; class II = 17; class V = 48; class II+V = 2), and the overall rate of poor renal outcomes was 29.6% (21/71). The univariate analysis indicated that older age, low eGFR at 6 or 12 months, failure to reach complete remission at 6 months, and LN chronicity score > 4 or activity score > 6 were significantly associated with poor renal outcomes. The multivariate analysis revealed that low eGFR at 6 months (HR 0.971, 95% CI 0.949–0.991; p = 0.014) was significantly associated with poor renal outcomes.Conclusions: Poor renal outcomes occurred in approximately 30% of patients with non-proliferative LN after long-term follow-up. More active management may be needed for non-proliferative LN, especially for patients with eGFR < 60 mL/ min/1.73 m2 at 6 months follow-up after LN diagnosis.

Authors: Oh Il Hwan , Rhee Kyoung Hoon , Kim One Zoong
Published: August 2023

Background/Aims: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is correlated with erythematous gastritis, which is one of the endoscopic findings of the Sydney classification system. The present study evaluated the association between the endoscopic severity of erythematous gastritis and H. pylori infection.Methods: We prospectively enrolled asymptomatic adults who were diagnosed with erythematous gastritis during screening esophagogastroduodenoscopy. A rapid urease test was performed in all participants to diagnose H. pylori infection. The severity of erythematous gastritis was determined based on the Sydney classification system. The primary endpoint was the H. pylori infection rate according to the severity of erythematous gastritis (mild to moderate vs. severe).Results: In total, 131 patients with erythematous gastritis were included. The rate of H. pylori infection was 45.8% across all patients. Of the 131 included patients, 45 had mild gastritis, 43 had moderate gastritis, and 43 had severe gastritis. The H. pylori infection rate was significantly different between patients with mild to moderate erythematous gastritis and those with severe erythematous gastritis (20.5% vs. 97.7%, respectively; p = 0.000). After adjustment for potential confounding variables, the severity of erythematous gastritis was associated with the H. pylori infection rate. The kappa value was 0.563, and interobserver variation was 14.43%.Conclusions: H. pylori infection is observed to a moderate degree in patients with erythematous gastritis. The severity of erythematous gastritis is associated with the H. pylori infection rate.
The influence of hot-air mechanical drying on the sensory quality of specialty Colombian coffee
Authors: Largo-Avila Esteban , Hernán Suarez-Rodríguez Carlos , Latorre Montero Jorge , Strong Madison , Juan Osorio-Arias
Published: August 2023

The main aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of mechanical drying on the sensory quality of specialty coffee produced on three Colombian coffee farms. The technique involved a study of the coffee bean drying process parameters, such as temperature (35, 45 and 55 ℃), airflow (100 m3/min∙m2) and thickness (0.2 m) for mechanical drying, vs conventional drying in the open sun until 11% of moisture content was reached. For mechanical drying, the effective diffusion coefficient, electrical conductivity and drying kinetics were evaluated. A sensory test was performed for three storage periods (3, 6 and 9 months) using the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) protocol. The results showed that the effective diffusion coefficient varied from 3.21 to 8.02 × 10−7 m2/s for mechanical drying and from 4.21 × 10−11 m2/s for drying in the open sun. The time drying time was established at 20.35 ± 0.06, 29.10 ± 0.09 and 71.52 ± 0.11 hours for mechanical drying at 55 ℃, 45 ℃ and 35 ℃ respectively and 54.48 ± 11.37 hours for drying in the open sun system. The average moisture content at the end of all drying operations was 12.5%. Electrical conductivity rose from 11.71 to 16.86 µS/cm∙g at drying temperatures ranging from 35 to 55 ℃. The sensory test revealed that storage duration had no effect on the quality of the coffee drink when in touch with the drying process, with mechanical drying yielding higher sensory ratings. The coffee beans were dried at 55 ℃, yielding coffee samples with SCA scores more than 85 points. In overall, it is determined that the convective mechanical drying method is a viable approach for the processing of specialty coffee beans since it allows for the retention of high-quality sensory qualities, allowing it to command higher market pricing.

   \begin{document}$ \left\{\begin{array}{ll}x_{n} = \max\Big\{A_n , \frac{z_{n-1}}{y_{n-2}}\Big\}, \ y_{n} = \max \Big\{B_n, \frac{w_{n-1}}{x_{n-2}}\Big\}, \ z_{n} = \max\Big\{C_n , \frac{x_{n-1}}{w_{n-2}}\Big\}, \ w_{n} = \max \Big\{D_n, \frac{y_{n-1}}{z_{n-2}}\Big\}, \ \end{array}\right. \ \ n\in \{0, 1, 2, \cdots\}, $\end{document}

where $ A_n, B_n, C_n, D_n\in (0, +\infty) $ are periodic sequences with period 2 and the initial values $ x_{-i}, y_{-i}, z_{-i}, w_{-i}\in (0, +\infty)\ (1\leq i\leq 2) $. We show that if $ \min\{A_0C_1, B_0D_1, A_1C_0, B_1D_0\} < 1 $, then this system has unbounded solutions. Also, if $ \min\{A_0C_1, B_0D_1, A_1C_0, B_1D_0\}\geq 1 $, then every solution of this system is eventually periodic with period $ 4 $.
Asymptotic analysis of stretching modes for a folded plate
Authors: Kerdid Nabil
Published: August 2023

In this paper, we show that the spectral problem associated to stretching modes in a thin folded plate can be derived from the three-dimensional eigenvalue problem of linear elasticity through a rigourous convergence analysis as the thickness of the plate goes to zero. We show, using a nonstandard asymptotic analysis technique, that each stretching frequency of an elastic thin folded plate is the limit of a family of high frequencies of the three-dimensional linearized elasticity system in the folded plate, as the thickness approaches zero.
Skewness and the crossing numbers of graphs
Authors: Ding Zongpeng
Published: August 2023

The skewness of a graph $ G $, $ sk(G) $, is the smallest number of edges that need to be removed from $ G $ to make it planar. The crossing number of a graph $ G $, $ cr(G) $, is the minimum number of crossings over all possible drawings of $ G $. There is minimal work concerning the relationship between skewness and crossing numbers. In this work, we first introduce an inequality relation for these two parameters, and then we construct infinitely many near-planar graphs such that the inequality is equal. In addition, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a graph to have its skewness equal to the crossing number and characterize some special graphs with $ sk(G) = cr(G) $.

In contrast to the last century, in the 21st century internet communications and technology have developed quite a bit. Various sites and social networks appeared on the world stage, through which it became easier to find information and communicate with other people who are in another city or country. The pandemic in 2019-2022 has forced the developed and developing countries of the world to face a new situation – manage countries/companies, work and perform official duties remotely, have contact with relatives, get education, and carry out other activities. This topic will discuss and analyze the pros and cons of the most famous social networks, the protection of their users' information, and the crimes committed through said networks that violate human economic freedom, dignity, and the right to receive information. The chapter will discuss various crimes that are committed through social networks, for example, fraud, distribution of pornographic works, cyberbullying, cybercrimes.
Compromising Personal Safety on Social Media
Authors: Ružić Dušan , Jovanović Nina
Published: August 2023

The debate over the technological ineffectiveness of social media platforms regarding personal safety is, in fact, relevant and useful. However, more often than not, it becomes engulfed in arguments criticizing social media as a whole. While there are many things that can be criticized about social media and different aspects of personal safety on them, certain mechanisms to protect users' safety do exist. But these mechanisms tend to be ignored by the users themselves. With that in mind, it's important to look at the other side of the coin, which is the choices that people tend to make when using social media. For instance, nearly every social media platform has mechanisms to turn a profile from public to private. However, a vast number of individuals tend to leave their profile on public so as to be able to gather more followers, likes, shares, etc. Simultaneously, they are entirely unaware of the potential or real danger they are putting themselves in. Alternatively, they are entirely aware of the said danger but choose to take that risk.

Published: August 2023

One of the fastest growing crimes in the world is human trafficking. Many factors like social and economic factors are involved as the causes of human trafficking such as poverty, war, political conditions, social situations. Recently social networks have been used as a way to target the victims of human trafficking and the social media like Facebook and Instagram are widely used for this purpose. The victims include women, men, and children, and they are usually trapped in situations like getting offers of fake jobs though social media. The social and psychological impacts of human trafficking on victims are always devastating. The role of cyber world is very important in combating trafficking of human beings, and it requires collaborative efforts. The chapter will look into the definition, causes of human trafficking, impact of social networks in human trafficking, forensic investigation, psychological impacts on victims and mental health issues, social impacts on victims, prevention of human trafficking emphasizing the role of social media and cyber world, and management of victims.
Social Networks as a Modern Battlefield of Sects
Authors: Aćimović Uroš
Published: August 2023

Sects and sectarian activities have fully adapted to the “world” of social networks in which a 21st century man spends more and more time and which in a specific way becomes his primary. The subject of this work is the consideration of the activities of sects on social networks and finding appropriate answers as a measure of protection. The main hypothesis of the work is that social networks allow sects to increase the scope of their work, that is, they contribute to the increase in the degree of endangerment of official religions and the security of individuals, but also of states. The methods used in the preparation of the chapter are content analysis, comparative method, and survey. The author concludes that social networks represent one of the modern means of sects, which they resort to in order to perform analysis, according to the results of which they act further, within the framework of short-term and long-term goals (recruitment, mind control, financial, material, emotional, political, and other benefits).
Basic Principles of Information and Cyber Security
Authors: Chitadze Nika
Published: August 2023

Cybercrime is any illegal act committed using a computer system in cyberspace. Along with rapid technological progress in the 21st century, the number of cyber risks is increasing significantly. In modern times, quite common cases of cybercrime are online fraud, unauthorized access to a computer system, online child pornography, unauthorized use of computer systems and data, etc. As for information security, it includes the following components: 1) protection of information, services, systems, and telecommunications in any form and 2) protection (maintenance) of confidentiality, integrity (integrity), and availability of information. Information security includes technical security, actions of individuals, organizational procedures, and social conditions. Threats to information security include breaches of personal privacy, e-mail “spam” (junk, advertising e-mail), industrial espionage, piracy, computer viruses, cyber-terrorism, and electronic warfare. Any of the above threats can spread across the world in a second via information networks.

Secure Data Sharing Using Revocable-Storage Identity-Based Encryption
Authors: Vanamoorthy Muthumanikandan
Published: August 2023

Distributed computing provides flexible and informative information exchange and brings many benefits to both the general public and individuals. However, because the information often contains the most important data, there is a common lock that allows users to easily reuse cloud host information. Therefore, it is important for users to provide cryptographically enhanced access control to shared resources. Personality-based encryption is, for example, a promising encryption approach for building smart data sharing systems. Anyway, access to management is not a versatile solution. In such cases, if your permission is revoked from the database, it must be completely revoked from the cloud server, and you will not be able to retrieve your information once it has been revoked. It has many features of realizability, usefulness, and effectiveness and thus shows the correlation that shows the proposed method diagram used to build a practical and intelligent data provider structure.

A soil survey is a component of an improved agricultural research and advisory programme. It provides in-depth knowledge on soils and a full assessment of the region's soil resources. It offers the information needed to organize activities for managing soil and land use. With the help of the soil survey report and field samples, a database of soil characteristics is created. Although the soil survey report is mostly based on a low-intensity survey, it can be used to achieve a number of planning goals. Geographical information systems (GIS), Photogrammetry, remote sensing, global positioning systems (GPS), and other technologies are useful for analysing soil, creating various vegetation indices, creating digital elevation models, determining land use and land cover, and many other tasks. These computational models can then be used by land managers, soil scientists, researchers, and many other professionals to make well-informed suggestions.
Using Culturally Responsive Trauma-Informed Mindfulness Practices to Support and Empower BIPOC Students
Authors: Burke Monica Galloway , Dye Lacretia
Published: August 2023

Students who experience stress and trauma can experience and exhibit negative mental, physiological, and academic symptoms. School leaders and teachers are in a unique position to understand and support the psychological, emotional, and social resources that can help students cope with overwhelming stress and trauma. Mindfulness strategies can help to steer students away from a stress response as well as support and empower them on their journey toward academic success. Furthermore, racially- or culturally-related trauma for students who identify with marginalized identities, such as Black, Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) can occur, which is especially true for those in predominantly white school environments. This chapter covers topics related to the impact of stress and trauma, the brain and body's connection to stress and trauma, internal resource tools to help students regulate their nervous systems, using trauma-informed and trauma-responsive strategies for support of students, and ways to incorporate trauma-informed mindfulness strategies to support and empower students.
The Sixth Sense of Six Stories
Authors: Wallace Brandon C. S.
Published: August 2023

The initial purpose of this narrative inquiry was to explore the stories of six African American men who graduated from a community college in the Mid-Atlantic region in 2020, right at the start and in the midst of the COVID-19 global pandemic. These stories of success are salient to educational leaders, in particular, as they help to inform methods by which leaders and stakeholders might reimagine the supports and interventions used to create more equitable opportunities for students of color, specifically African American males. The narratives collected and shared from the six participants are even more important now, as the enrollment of Black males in community colleges has drastically declined over the past few years. By applying Bush and Bush's African American Male Theory, this research seeks to elevate the voices of Black men, particularly regarding ways to improve the outcomes and outputs of Black males in higher education spaces.
