Pengembangan Lembar Kerja Peserta Didik (LKPD) Berbasis Project Based Learning (PjBL) Pada Matei Pencemaran Lingkungan Untuk Kelas X SMA
Authors: Febriyanti Tiur , Hakim Nasrul
Published: November 2023

The development of student worksheets (LKPD) based on Project Based Learning (PjBL) on environmental pollution material is motivated by the less varied and innovative learning media used. The media used were only in the form of PowerPoint and printed books from the library, as a result, students agreed if learning media were developed in the form of Project Based Learning (PjBL) student worksheets. This study applies the R&D (Reseach and Development) development method using the ADDIE development model steps. The results of PjBL-based LKPD product validation were declared "very feasible" by the material expert validator with a percentage of 90% and the media expert validator with a percentage of 83%. The results of the PjBL-based worksheet product trial responses that had been developed for biology subject teachers were declared "good" with a percentage of 82% and trials for students were declared "very good" with a percentage of 94.8%. This can be interpreted that the LKPD media that has been developed is very suitable to be used as an alternative learning media that can be used in the learning process in class. Furthermore, the PjBL Project Based Learning LKPD learning media on environmental pollution material can be used outside of school learning and with the implementation of Project Based Learning it is able to hone the creativity of students.

El trabajo de cuidados no remunerado en época de pandemia en Costa Rica
Authors: Sandoval-Carvajal Irma
Published: November 2023

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el impacto en trabajo de cuidados no remunerados a raíz de la pandemia de COVID-19 en Costa Rica. Para ello, se utiliza la Encuesta Nacional de Hogares de 2020 y 2021, años de confinamiento, y se compara con el 2019. Se utilizaron tres indicadores: las tasas ponderadas que toman en cuenta tanto la participación, el tiempo promedio invertido en trabajo de cuidados no remunerados y el tiempo per cápita de mujeres (o de hombres) a nivel de hogar. Los resultados muestran que, durante el confinamiento, los patrones de género no se modificaron, las mujeres siguieron asumiendo el trabajo de cuidados no remunerado dentro de los hogares y, por lo tanto, las brechas se mantuvieron, incluso aumentaron para ciertas edades. Sin alterar estos patrones de género, sí se presentaron aumentos en la participación de los hombres, sobre todo en el 2020, en comparación con el 2019. Por su parte, las mujeres también aumentaron su participación, sobre todo entre edades de los 15 a 60 años.
Optimization of fatigue life of the shear wave seismic vibrator baseplate teeth considering the coupling effect of welding residual stress
Authors: Chen Zhen , Wang Qiaomu , Chen Zhen , Jing Shuang , Luan Nan , Huang Zhiqiang
Published: November 2023

The residual stress resulting from welding was commonly disregarded in
traditional fatigue life evaluation. This reduced the accuracy of life
prediction and increased the challenges associated with optimizing the
fatigue life of the shear wave seismic vibrator baseplate. This work
introduced a modified fatigue life prediction model that considered the
interaction between welding residual stress and load stress, based on
the S-N curve. The study revealed the impact of welding process
parameters on residual stress. A mathematical correlation was
established between welding residual stress, welding speed and
interlayer temperature. We developed a fatigue life optimization model
by leveraging the local sensitivity method. The NSGA-II algorithm was
ultimately employed to obtain the Pareto solution set. We determined the
optimal fatigue life parameters using a combination of entropy weighting
and TOPSIS. The optimized results showed a remarkable 17.72%
improvement of fatigue life, the optimization method was proved to be
accurate and efficient.
Observation of Enhanced Oxygen Bombardment of Titan
Authors: Westlake Joseph Hinton , Mitchell Donald G. , Bell Jared M.
Published: November 2023

Here we present observations and simulations of oxygen particle
bombardment into Titan’s thermosphere that represents a new class of
upper atmospheric stimulus. We find that these large bursts of energetic
oxygen ions contain sufficient energy to perturb Titan’s thermosphere,
if the energy is applied at the right altitude. In this study we present
Cassini observations during the T20 flyby of Titan in 2006 specifically
from the Cassini Magnetospheric Imaging Instrument (MIMI; Krimigis et
al. [2004]) and the Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS; Young et al.
[2004]). We utilize simulations using the Titan-Global Ionosphere
Thermosphere Model to assess the impact of energetic oxygen bursts
similar to the one observed during T20 on the thermospheric structure.
We find that energy deposited higher in Titan’s thermosphere has a much
greater effect on the temperatures that Cassini would observe from the
INMS instrument. These higher altitude energy deposition events are
similar to those that occur from corotational oxygen and water group
ions in Saturn’s magnetosphere. We find that the more energetic heavy
ions tend to penetrate deeper into the thermosphere resulting in a much
more benign heating rate and minimal temperature change, however when
these events carry along lower energy thermal oxygen ions that will
deposit energy at higher altitudes the temperature change can be much
more substantial.
Ocean biogeochemical fingerprints of fast-sinking tunicate and fish detritus
Authors: Luo Jessica Y. , Stock Charles A. , Dunne John P. , Saba Grace , Cook Lauren
Published: November 2023

Pelagic tunicates (salps, pyrosomes) and fishes generate jelly-falls
and/or fecal pellets that sink roughly 10 times faster than bulk oceanic
detritus, but their impacts on biogeochemical cycles in the ocean
interior are poorly understood. Using a coupled physical-biogeochemical
model, we find that fast-sinking detritus decreased global net primary
production and surface export, but increased deep sequestration and
transfer efficiency in much of the extratropics and upwelling zones.
Fast-sinking detritus generally decreased total suboxic and hypoxic
volumes, reducing a “large oxygen minimum zone (OMZ)” bias common in
global biogeochemical models. Newly aerobic regions at OMZ edges
exhibited reduced transfer efficiencies in contrast with global
tendencies. Reductions in water column denitrification resulting from
improved OMZs improved simulated nitrate deficits relative to phosphate.
The carbon flux to the benthos increased by 11% with fast-sinking
detritus from fishes and pelagic tunicates, yet simulated benthic fluxes
remained on the lower end of observation-based estimates.
Effects of Anthropogenic Aerosols on the East Asian Winter Monsoon
Authors: Zhang Shenglong , Wright Jonathon S. , Guo Zengyuan , Huang Wenyu , Peng Yiran
Published: November 2023

Circulation patterns linked to the East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM)
affect precipitation, surface temperature, and air quality extremes over
East Asia. These circulation patterns can in turn be influenced by
aerosol radiative and microphysical effects through diabatic heating and
its impacts on atmospheric vorticity. Using global model simulations, we
investigate the effects of anthropogenic aerosol emissions and
concentration changes on the intensity and variability of the EAWM.
Comparison with reanalysis products indicates that the model captures
the mean state of the EAWM well. The experiments indicate that
anthropogenic aerosol emissions strengthen the Siberian High but weaken
the East Asian jet stream, making the land areas of East Asia colder,
drier, and snowier. Aerosols reduce mean surface air temperatures by
approximately 1.5°C, comparable to about half of the difference between
strong and weak EAWM episodes in the control simulation. The mechanisms
behind these changes are evaluated by analyzing differences in the
potential vorticity budget. Anthropogenic aerosol effects on diabatic
heating strengthen anomalous subsidence over southern East Asia,
establishing an anticyclonic circulation anomaly that suppresses deep
convection and precipitation. Aerosol effects on cloud cover and cloud
longwave radiative heating weaken stability over the eastern flank of
the Tibetan Plateau, intensifying upslope flow along the western side of
the anticyclone. Both circulation anomalies contribute to reducing
surface air temperatures through regional impacts on thermal advection
and the atmospheric radiative balance.
Fluorapatite needle mats on vesicle walls of Apollo low-Ti basalt 15556 indicate a final-stage water-rich liquid
Authors: Liu Yang , Ma Chi
Published: November 2023

Lunar vesicular basalt 15556 contains evidence of volatiles in the form
of gas bubbles. We report two occurrences of apatite needle mats,
forming flow patterns from the rock interior onto vesicle walls. The
mats on vesicle walls are free of silicate minerals or glass. The
apatite needles display aspect ratios (length to width) of 8 to 21,
implying the presence of water vapor as shown by available experimental
results. Although all apatites are fluorapatite, those on the wall
contain lower F (higher inferred OH) and higher rare earth elements than
nearly pure fluorapatite away from vesicles, indicating apatite needles
in these mats formed from highly evolved water-rich melt. Collectively,
the morphology, texture, and chemistry of the fluorapatite needles on
vesicle walls support that these crystals grew rapidly and
out-of-equilibrium from a final-stage liquid that changed from
water-bearing silicate-rich to silicate-poor water-rich during its flow
from interior to the vesicle wall.
Renty strukturalne jako instrument przekształceń obszarowych w rolnictwie polskim
Authors: Kijanowski Piotr , Paszkowski Stanisław
Published: November 2023

Polskie rolnictwo charakteryzuje się rozdrobnioną strukturą obszarową gospodarstw rolnych negatywnie wpływającą na jego konkurencyjność rynkową. Powstała więc potrzeba wprowadzenia do praktyki środka, który stymulowałby koncentrację ziemi w wysoko wydajnych jednostkach. W Planie Rozwoju Obszarów Wiejskich 2004-2006 instrumentem mającym realizował to zadanie były renty strukturalne. Cieszyły się one zainteresowaniem rolników i zapewniały im relatywnie wysoki poziom świadczeń. Istotne jest więc pytanie o formy i zakres oddziaływania tego instrumentu polityki rolnej na rolnictwo indywidualne. Celem opracowania jest dokonanie oceny wpływu wskazanego instrumentu polityki rolnej na przekształcenia strukturalne w rolnictwie polskim. Badania zostały zrealizowane na podstawie raportów Agencji Restrukturyzacji i Modernizacji Rolnictwa w Warszawie, Planu Rozwoju Obszarów Wiejskich 2004-2006 i roczników statystycznych GUS. Przeprowadzone analizy dotycz?? lat 2004-2007, czyli okresu, w którym wdrażany był do praktyki wskazany instrument polityki rolnej i odnoszą się do całego obszaru Polski. Instrument rent strukturalnych stanowią ważny środek polityki rolnej wcielanej w życie w latach 2004-2006. Program wzbudzał duże zainteresowanie rolników rentami strukturalnymi i był środkiem znacznego przepływu gospodarstw rolnych w części województw. Jego główny wpływ przejawiał się w obniżaniu wieku rolników oraz zapewnieniu starszym rolnikom środków do życia po zaprzestaniu prowadzenia działalności rolniczej w gospodarstwach rolnych. W mniejszym stopniu oddziaływał na transformację struktury obszarowej gospodarstw rolnych.

Published: November 2023

The 5G technology, known for its large bandwidth, high speed, low latency, and multi-connection capabilities, significantly accelerates digital transformation in enterprises, especially in addressing factory automation challenges. It facilitates efficient machine-to-machine (M2M) and device-to-device (D2D) connectivity, ensuring rapid data transfer and seamless process convergence under 5G standards. Although 5G offers substantial communication and low latency benefits, its limited indoor coverage requires the deployment of decentralized antennas or small base stations. In contrast, Wi-Fi 6 seamlessly complements 5G, providing superior indoor mobile connectivity. This integration is crucial for businesses looking to accelerate digital transformation. To optimize 5G, the deployment of devices such as bypass switches, SDN switches, and MEC in the 5G Local Breakout network enables user access control and fast authentication. Real-world validation confirms the effectiveness of these measures, which are expected to lead to the future of 5G mobile networks.
Robust compensation with adaptive fuzzy Hermite neural networks in synchronous reluctance motors
Authors: Chu Chao-Ting , Ma Hao-Shang
Published: November 2023

In this paper, a robust compensation scheme using adaptive fuzzy Hermite neural networks (RCAFHNN), for use in synchronous reluctance motors (SRMs), is proposed. SRMs have a simple underlying mathematical model and mechanical structure, but are affected by problems related to parameter variations, external interference, and nonlinear dynamics. In many fields, precise control of motors is required. Although the use of neural network and fuzzy are widespread, such controllers are affected by unbound nonlinear system model. In this study, RCAFHNN, based on an adaptive neural fuzzy interface system (ANFIS), was used to bound motor system model controller algorithm. RCAFHNN can be characterized in three parts. First, RCAFHNN offers fuzzy expert knowledge, a neural network for online estimation, and recursive weight estimation. Second, the replacement of the Gaussian function by the Hermite polynomial in RCAFHNN enables reduced membership function training times. Third, the system convergence and robustness compensation of RCAFHNN were confirmed using Lyapunov stability. RCAFHNN ameliorates the problems of external load and system lump uncertainty. The experimental results, in which the output responses of RCAFHNN and ANFIS (adaptive neural fuzzy interface systems) were compared, demonstrated that RCAFHNN exhibited superior performance.

Analysis of the Enactment Process of 「Jeollabuk-do School Autonomy Ordinance」: Based on Kingdon’s Policy Stream Model
Authors:   The Korean Society for the Study of Local Education Management, Guk Junbong , Kim Doki
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this study is to analyze the dynamic enactment process of the 「Jeollabuk-do School Autonomy Ordinance」enacted in 2019 using Kingdon's policy stream model. The stream of policy issues includes indicators of the necessity of legal organization of school autonomous bodies, attempts to enact school autonomy ordinances by each city/provincial office of education, and feedback due to the limitations of the existing school autonomy operation. The stream of politics includes changes in the provincial atmosphere for school autonomy, the emergence and interest of a new administration, and the activities of interest groups in school autonomy ordinances. The stream of policy alternatives includes the proposal of Jeollabuk-do Office of Education, the proposal of Korean Teachers and Educational Workers' Union, the proposal of Korea Federation of Teacher's Associations, and the proposal of private school corporations and principals. These policy alternatives were influenced by policy communities such as teachers' organizations, teachers' unions, and school corporations. These three independent streams were combined as the change of administration became the trigger mechanism. In addition, as progressive policy entrepreneur such as the Jeollabuk-do Superintendent of Education is actively working to urge the enactment of the ordinance, the working-level council for promoting the school autonomy ordinance was held on March 26, 2018, combining these three streams to open a policy window. As a result, the Jeonlabuk-do School Autonomy Ordinance, which has been under legislative discussion for a long time, was finally enacted on February 1, 2019.
An Analysis on the Zone of Acceptance and Participation Level of Elementary School Teachers in School Decision-Making
Authors:   The Korean Society for the Study of Local Education Management, Kwon Seok Joo , Oh Beomho
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this study is to explore the development directions for effective school decision-making by analyzing the zone of acceptance and participation level of elementary school teachers in school decision-making. The main results are as follows. In the results of the zone of acceptance, most of the school decision-making contents were found to be located outside or marginal(high relevance) of the zone of acceptance that requires participation expanding. In addition, the decision-making contents located outside of the zone of acceptance can be recognized not only at the every school level but also at the small group level such as same grade year or subject, whereas the decision-making contents located inside of the zone of acceptance are mainly discussed to the every school level. In the results of participation level, teacher participation in decision-making was mainly classified into four types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 4, and Type 8. In the results of comparison with the zone of acceptance and participation level, it was found that the participation level was made in accordance with the normative direction of participation according to the zone of acceptance for some decision-making contents. However, most of the other decision-making contents were found to be located outside or marginal(high relevance) of the zone of acceptance requiring participation expanding, but the participation level can not reach to the zone of acceptance as a decisional deprivation. Combining the above results, this study derive development directions for effective teacher participation in school decision-making. First, policy support is needed to activate teachers' opinions and influence beyond decision-making participation which was centered on providing opportunities for participation. Second, by subdividing the size or scope of school decision-making contents into the small groups, teachers' approach and immersion to school decision-making should be improved. Third, school needs to establish institutional arrangements or change the school organizational culture to allow school decision-making to be delegated to small groups, in other words on a team level.
A Study on the Revitalization of Shared Universities: Focusing on the Case of the Chungcheong Higher Education Compact
Authors:   The Korean Society for the Study of Local Education Management, Kim Sujin , Shim Gwan Yong , Cho In , Lee Gil Jae
Published: November 2023

This study attempted to derive a plan to promote an exchange and cooperation between universities through the case of the Chungcheong Higher Education Compact(CHEC). To this end, the concept of shared universities and exchange and cooperation between universities were defined, and the cases of domestic and foreign exchange cooperation, shared universities and the cases of the CHEC were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the cases of exchange and cooperation between universities, the case of the CHEC of the National University Promotion Project, and the case of shared universities after 2020 are similar in content, but there are differences in operation. In the past, in the case of exchange and cooperation between universities, there was a limit to the absence of a dedicated organization in charge of exchange and cooperation and securing a stable budget. Since 2019, CHEC and shared universities have something in common that a dedicated organization operates a cooperative project. However, unlike the case of shared universities, in the case of CHEC, there is a limit to the active business operation as part of the budget for national university development projects is shared and operated. On the other hand, the case of shared universities has a relatively large influence on actively participating in exchange and cooperation because the dedicated organization manages the budget for financial support projects, where exchange and cooperation between universities is the main project. Based on these analysis results, a plan to promote exchange and cooperation between universities and a shared university system through joint educational innovation centers by region was suggested.

Published: November 2023

The purpose of this study is to explore the school restructuring based on the teacher's experience following COVID-19. Based on a qualitative meta-synthesis, the results of the analysis of 10 qualitative studies that analyzed the cases experienced by schools and teachers in the COVID-19 situation showed that 'a deep understanding of student life', 'a small school system within a school', ' A solid educational connection between school-home-local community was sought in the school restructuring. First, in order for school educational activities to continue in an educational crisis situation, understanding of student life and learning should be prioritized. In addition, the school organization is required to change to a small school system within the school where the flexibility of the work structure and the grade-oriented decision-making culture are secured. Finally, in order to realize the purpose of education, which is to take care of students and guarantee the right to learn, a strong educational bond between the school and the home and local community should be established. Based on the above results, reinforce student counseling and normalize student life records with policy suggestions in the practice area, prepare a cooperative system between the previous year's teachers and the current year's teachers during the transition period, and restructure the roles of department and grade heads teacher, (tentative name)the primary care school teacher system was proposed.

Authors:   The Korean Society for the Study of Local Education Management, Lim Ui Su , Kim Hoon Ho
Published: November 2023

This study aims to examine the disparity in the degree of establishment of a professional learning community learning organization between innovative schools and general schools in Chungnam. To achieve this research objectives, we examined the characteristics of innovative schools based on prior research and summarized the relationship between the professional learning community and Senge's learning organization theory. We also developed a questionnaire asking the degree of establishment of a learning organization in a professional learning community drawing from prior research and expert advice. The survey was conducted among middle school teachers in Chungnam and analyzed using basic statistical analysis and independent sample t-test. The main findings indicated a significant difference in the degree of establishment of a professional learning community learning organization between innovative schools and general schools. Innovative schools scored an average of 4.31 points out of 5, while general schools scored an average of 3.84 points. The difference between innovative schools and general schools was statistically significant at the significance level of 0.001. The analysis revealed that innovative schools have relatively more professional learning communities than general schools, especially in terms of team learning and system thinking. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended to actively disseminate the various activities of professional learning communities centered on innovative schools to other general schools. While existing studies have discussed the effectiveness of professional learning communities, this study adds value by analyzing professional learning communities in detail within the framework of learning organizational theory. Further research are needed on the degree of establishment of a learning organization in a professional learning community for the 1st to 8th graders of innovative schools.
Chronic Insufficient Sleep in Women Impairs Insulin Sensitivity Independent of Adiposity Changes: Results of a Randomized Trial
Authors: M. Zuraikat Faris , Laferrère Blandine , Cheng Bin , E. Scaccia Samantha , Aggarwal Brooke , Jelic Sanja , St-Onge Marie-Pierre
Published: November 2023

Objective: Insufficient sleep is associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), yet the causal impact of chronic insufficient sleep on glucose metabolism in women is unknown. We investigated whether prolonged mild sleep restriction (SR), resembling “real-world” short sleep, impairs glucose metabolism in women. Research Design and Methods: Women (20-75 y) without cardiometabolic diseases and with actigraphy-confirmed habitual total sleep time (TST) of 7-9 h/night were recruited to participate in this randomized, crossover study with two 6-wk phases: maintenance of adequate sleep (AS) and 1.5 h/night SR. Outcomes included plasma glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR from fasting blood draws as well as total area under the curve (AUC) for glucose and insulin, Matsuda index, and disposition index from an oral glucose tolerance test. Results: Our sample included 38 women (11 postmenopausal). Linear models adjusted for baseline outcome values demonstrated that TST was reduced by 1.34±0.04 h/night in SR vs. AS (p<0.0001). Fasting insulin (b=6.8±2.8 pmol/L, p=0.016) and HOMA-IR (b=0.30±0.12, p=0.016) were increased in SR vs. AS, with effects on HOMA-IR more pronounced in postmenopausal vs. premenopausal women (b=0.45±0.25 vs. b=0.27±0.13, p-interaction=0.042). Change in adiposity did not mediate the effects of SR on glucose metabolism or change results in the full sample when included as a covariate. Conclusions: Curtailing sleep duration to 6.2 h/night, reflecting the median sleep duration of US adults with short sleep, for 6 wk impairs insulin sensitivity, independent of adiposity. Findings highlight insufficient sleep as a modifiable risk factor for insulin resistance in women to be targeted in diabetes prevention efforts.

Results: 251 adolescents (age=14±2 years [mean±SD]; HbA1c=7.1±1.3% [54±14.2mmol/mol]; 42% female) logged 3,738 activities over ~10 days of observation. Pre-activity glucose was 163±66 mg/dL (9.1±3.7mmol/L), dropping to 148±66 mg/dL (8.2±3.7mmol/L) by end of activity; median duration of activity was 40 minutes (20, 75 [IQR]) with a mean and peak HR of 109±16 bpm and 130±21 bpm. Drops in glucose were greater in those with lower baseline HbA1c levels (P=0.002), shorter disease duration (P=0.02), less hypoglycemia fear (P=0.04), and those with a lower BMI (P=0.05). Event-level predictors of greater drops in glucose included self-classified "non-competitive" activities, insulin on board >0.05 U/kg body mass, glucose already dropping prior to the activity, pre-activity glucose >150 mg/dL (>8.3mmol/L) and time 70-180 mg/dL >70% in the 24 hours before the activity (all P<0.001). Conclusions: Participant-level and activity-event level factors can help predict the magnitude of drop in glucose during real-world physical activity in youth with type 1 diabetes. A better appreciation of these factors may improve decision-support tools and self-management strategies to reduce activity-induced dysglyemia in active adolescents living with the disease.

This article will begin with an overview of REBT theory before moving on to a discussion of the ethics governing the field of psychology. This paper will try to answer the question whether Ellis's (1955) REBT theory can be used independently during therapy sessions, or whether it requires a combination of ethics and values to provide the best service to clients or not. Ethical considerations must be applied to the application of theory to improve it and make it more useful in therapy sessions, therefore it is important to determine how well theory can function on its own while still meeting the needs of its clients.

Psychological assessment for students is one of the activities that cannot be separated from counseling services. Psychological attributes obtained from the implementation of the assessment can be used by school counselors to intervene and develop counseling programs. However, conditions in the field indicate that school counselors still have not carried out a comprehensive assessment of the condition of students, so this has an impact on the effectiveness of counseling services. This research and community service aims to provide training and skills for school counselors in conducting psychological assessments using an Android application called Potential. The urgency of using this application has increased since the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic, where students and school counselors cannot meet face-to-face. This community service is carried out in stages in a series of workshops and independent training. School counselors are provided with a Potential account that can be used at their school. The results of community service activities show that students' psychological conditions are generally mapped through applications and assist school counselors in planning and developing effective programs.

An adult boa with acute epistaxis, without other clinical signs, was found dead in its terrarium. Macroscopic examination of the specimen revealed multiple yellow foci in the lung and liver. Microscopic findings included severe and multifocal granulomas as well as vasculitis, hemorrhages and thrombosis in liver and lungs, with the presence of intralesional Gram positive and acid-fast bacilli. PCR end point analysis and sequencing using total DNA extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples of liver and lungs identified Mycobacteroides abscessus subsp massiliense and Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. Mycobacteria are organisms that can affect a wide range of animals, including reptiles. In snakes, reports are rare and mycobacterial species are highly variable. Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is a pathogenic bacillus related to multiple organ disorders, which until now has not been reported in boas. This report describes the first case report of Mycobacteroides abscessus subsp. massiliense and Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae detection in a boa.
