The Role of Socrates in the Arginusae Affair
Authors: Karatzoglou Orestis
Published: July 2024

Sources provide conflicting accounts of the role of Socrates during the trial of the generals after the Battle of Arginusae: in Plato’s Apology and Xenophon’s Hellenica he is presented as the only πρύτανις that opposed the will of the crowd to judge the generals in a single vote. In the Gorgias and Xenophon’s Memorabilia he is elevated to the status of chairman (ἐπιστάτης). This paper revisits the possible interconnections among the sources and re-examines the suggestion that Xenophon’s version in the Memorabilia is influenced by Plato’s Gorgias, while also considering Diodorus Siculus’ narrative of these same events. It is argued that Xenophon’s agenda at Hellenica 1.7.1–16 is driven by the political aim of highlighting the deficiencies of Athenian democracy, whereas similarities between Plato’s Apology and Euryptolemus’ speech at Hellenica 1.7.16–35 encourage the inference that the latter text should be viewed against the backdrop of Socratic literature. The conclusion reached is that Socrates cannot have served as chairman and that the performance of his civic duties may not have been of such overriding importance as might initially appear.
A categorisation solution to the incompleteness puzzle in Mandarin
Authors: Wang Chen
Published: July 2024

This paper means to re-examine the source of incompleteness for a clause with a bare verb as predicate and no other markings in Mandarin. I propose that the reason comes from the need for categorial labels at the syntax-semantic interface to produce a clear interpretation. Since there are no grammatical affixes marking category V available in Mandarin, it has to make use of functional morphemes which shape their complement space categorially. The result is that overt (or at least inferable) morphemes from the extended projections of VP must occur to assign category V for the predicate phrase, while a root needs merge with degree morphemes to be a predicate adjective. The analysis shows that some issues traditionally related to finiteness may have a pure syntactic account.
Il Genere come il Nuovo Linguaggio di Ribellione dell’Adolescenza
Authors: Lopez David L. , Wortman Alejandra
Published: July 2024

Il crescente numero di adolescenti con identità di genere non conforme sembra essere associato a quello che gli autori considerano essere, in epoca contemporanea, una manifestazione del fenomeno della crisi d’identità dell’adolescente. Questa si presenta con un deliberato rifiuto del proprio genere e con una rivalutazione dei ruoli e delle norme di genere convenzionali. La crisi d’identità dell’adolescente, così come inizialmente concepita da Erik Erikson (1956), costituisce un fenomeno poliedrico inconscio che si manifesta nel contesto familiare e sociale. Gli autori conducono una revisione storica della terminologia pertinente, seguita dalla presentazione di quattro casi clinici, selezionati al fine di illustrare questo fenomeno ed i conflitti familiari che comunemente ne derivano. Successivamente, viene riportato un caso clinico specifico che concerne il processo di valutazione clinica, la diagnosi psicodinamica, le considerazioni sul trattamento psicoterapeutico ed il lavoro con i genitori. Sono inoltre citate le fonti di informazione disponibili per i pazienti e per le loro famiglie. Al fine di proteggere la privacy e la riservatezza dei pazienti, i casi clinici sono raccontati in modo combinato. Infine, gli autori concludono l’articolo con un invito rivolto alla comunità scientifica a condurre indagini prospettiche a lungo termine su questo nuovo fenomeno clinico.
A Method for Evaluating Hunger and Thirst in Monkeys by Measuring Blood Ghrelin and Osmolality Levels
Authors: Suwa Yuki , Kunimatsu Jun , Kamata Akua , Matsumoto Masayuki , Yamada Hiroshi
Published: July 2024

Hunger and thirst drive animals’ consumption behavior and regulate their decision-making concerning rewards. We previously assessed the thirst states of monkeys by measuring blood osmolality under controlled water access and examined how these thirst states influenced their risk-taking behavior in decisions involving fluid rewards. However, hunger assessment in monkeys remains poorly performed. Moreover, the lack of precise measures for hunger states leads to another issue regarding how hunger and thirst states interact with each other in each individual. Thus, when controlling food access to motivate performance, it remains unclear how these two physiological needs are satisfied in captive monkeys. Here, we measured blood ghrelin and osmolality levels to respectively assess hunger and thirst in four captive macaques. Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, we identified that the levels of blood ghrelin, a widely measured hunger-related peptide hormone in humans, were high after 20 h of no food access (withad libitumwater). This reflects a typical controlled food access condition. One hour after consuming a regular dry meal, the blood ghrelin levels in three out of four monkeys decreased to within their baseline range. Additionally, blood osmolality measured from the same blood sample, the standard hematological index of hydration status, increased after consuming the regular dry meal with no water access. Thus, ghrelin and osmolality may reflect the physiological states of individual monkeys regarding hunger and thirst, suggesting that these indices can be used as tools for monitoring hunger and thirst levels that mediate an animal's decision to consume rewards.
Polish FDI in Germany – junior partner with any signs of rising strong?
Authors:   Vistula University, Faculty of Business and International Relations, Warsaw, Poland, Götz Marta
Published: July 2024

The economic ties between neighbours are always in the spotlight. Polish-German relations are no exception in this regard, especially given a particularly pronounced asymmetry in the level of mutual direct investment – the flows and stocks of foreign direct investments (FDI). This paper aims threefold: to analyse the recent development trends of Polish investment in Germany, to characterise the profile of investing firms and identify possible patterns of Polish FDI in Germany and finally, based on the diagnosed challenges, to formulate some policy and managerial recommendations. Methodologically it draws on a descriptive analysis of investment figures and a qualitative approach in line with the grounded theory method (GTM) framed in classic FDI theories and concepts. Confrontation of previously (2012-2014) conducted projects with the recent reports or scholarly studies confirmed challenges identified earlier and demonstrated that not much has changed in this respect. Poland when it comes to outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) is still ‘punching below its weight’. Such reflection could be interpreted ambiguously. On the one hand, Polish investments in Germany fluctuate considerably often subject to single one-time investment decisions; on the other, more investments target promising niche sectors such as IT or urban mining. The still unsatisfactory levels of Polish OFDI (development along the investment development path - IDP) can be hence explained ‘pessimistically’ in terms of missing structural competitiveness but also more on a positive note, as a result of the unabating potential and absorptive capacity of the domestic market.

Lietuvos mokslo žurnalų leidybos kiekybiniai pokyčiai 2015–2022 m.: viešojo ir privataus sektorių prisitaikymas prie kintančių sąlygų
Authors: Petreikis Tomas , Šuminas Andrius , Grigas Vincas , Gudinavičius Arūnas
Published: July 2024

The article analyses the quantitative changes in the Lithuanian scientific journal publishing in 2015-2022. The study reveals the problems of public bibliographic accounting and terminology in order to comprehensively analyse the public and private sector published print and electronic scientific journals. The gaps and uncertainties identified allow for the improvement of official publication records in the future, avoiding ambiguities in the assessment of the publication volumes of scientific journals. Science policy makers and implementers should take the initiative to standardise the definition of scientific journals, as this is the only way to achieve a clearer approach to this form of science communication. Although the annual volume of scientific journal publications has shrunk by 18.1% (from 265 (2015) to 217 (2022) publications), the decline itself has not been sharp. The decline has been stabilised by business involvement, changes in the evaluation of colleges, and the transformation of professional journals, book series and conference proceedings into scientific journals. Flexibility has been provided by electronic publishing instruments, which have reduced the dependence on external financial sources. The public publishing sector has tended to reduce the number of scientific journals in all scientific fields. This was mainly due to the reorganisation of the higher education network, the qualitative requirements for scientific articles and the reorganisation of scientific collectives. The publishing business has seen the greatest potential in the fields of technology and the medical and health sciences, and as a result, the number of journals published in these fields has not declined and continues to grow. Despite the private sector's growth trends, 50% of journals have 30 or more years of publication. This forms the core of Lithuanian scientific journals, which public sector publishers are striving to preserve and integrate into the international scientific environment.

Discourse analysis of “Mother-guided English”: application of topic modeling and sentiment analysis
Authors: Jung Ok-Kyung , Koh Ohn-Jo ,   Research Institute for Early Childhood Education - Korea National University of Education
Published: July 2024

This study was conducted to analyze the discourse on “Mother-guided English” using data from online parenting communities. To analyze the themes of the discourse on “Mother-guided English,” the topic modeling technique based on the LDA algorithm was applied, and KoGPT2 was used for sentiment analysis. As a result of the topic modeling analysis, 16 topics were derived and categorized into four main themes: “Concerns related to Mother-guided English,” “Mom's study and solidarity for Mother-guided English,” “Teaching methods and effects of Mother-guided English,” and “Educational materials for Mother-guided English”. The sentiment analysis showed a tendency toward positive sentiment overall. The application of sentiment analysis to the 16 topics revealed that positive sentiment predominated in topics such as “Concerns about Mother-guided English teaching methods,” “Mother-guided English progress,” “How to start Mother-guided English,” “Formation of Mother-guided English study groups,” and “Formation of practical English project solidarity.” On the other hand, topics such as “Concerns about choosing between Mother-guided English and other English teaching methods” and “Level tests” showed a tendency toward higher negative sentiment. The research results can expand academic discussions necessary for supporting English education for children’s parents and provide foundational data needed to develop related educational policy alternatives.
Analyzing the national kindergarten curriculum through text mining
Authors: Park Jin-Iee ,   Research Institute for Early Childhood Education - Korea National University of Education
Published: July 2024

This study aims to examine the changes in the national kindergarten curriculum text through text mining. Semantic network analysis using R was employed for this purpose, yielding the following results. Firstly, consistently High-centrality keywords from the 1st kindergarten curriculum of the 2019 revised Nuri Curriculum were ‘child’ and ‘curriculum,’ with ‘kindergarten,’ ‘operation,’ and ‘development’ also showing general centrality. Secondly, keywords reflecting differences in centrality emphasized in each curriculum period included ‘community,’ ‘play,’ ‘welfare,’ ‘construction,’ and ‘parents.’ The keyword ‘community’ showed High-Centrality in the 1st, 5th, and 6th kindergarten curricula and the 2007 revised kindergarten curriculum. The keywords ‘welfare’ and ‘construction’ displayed High-Centrality in the 3rd kindergarten curriculum. Additionally, the keyword ‘play’ showed High-Centrality in the 2019 revised Nuri Curriculum, and the keyword ‘parents’ showed High-Centrality in the 6th and 2007 revised kindergarten curricula. This study offers implications for future revisions of the early childhood curriculum as a theoretical reference.

The work describes a laboratory setup developed by the authors for destruction of oil-water emulsions. The setup can be used in chemical analytical testing laboratories as new auxiliary equipment for preparing samples of crude oils, which are oil-water emulsions, for obtaining dehydrated oil. The setup includes two borosilicate glass units: heating unit and desiccating unit. The heating unit consists of a conical vessel equipped with a heating element for programmable heating and thermostating of the vessel. The desiccating unit consists of a vessel with a drain hole at the bottom, into which, if necessary, a water-absorbing reagent (calcium chloride) is placed for deeper dehydration of the separated oil phase. The units are connected to each other by a glass adapter, which is equipped with two PTFE or KhN-1 type taps, for collecting water and oil phases into different receiving bottles. Feasibility of using calcium chloride as a drying agent was confirmed by a series of experiments on a model oil sample, in which fractions that boiled away at temperatures below 300 °C were preliminary removed. The data obtained confirmed the absence of partial adsorption of resinous-asphaltene substances during the passage of the separated oil phase through the drying reagent layer. Metrological characteristics of determining separated water fraction were calculated to assess the effectiveness of the laboratory installation. The result of using the developed laboratory setup is the complete destruction of direct and reverse type water-oil emulsions of varying degrees of stability, which could not be demulsified by known laboratory methods. As a result, separated oil phases with a water content of below 1% were obtained, which allows carrying out laboratory studies of oils to determine their composition and properties both to characterize the oils themselves and to establish the reasons for stability of analyzed emulsions.

O nó górdio da modernidade
Authors: Williams Rachel
Published: July 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é problematizar algumas das tensões em torno do conceito de modernidade. Central para diferentes áreas das ciências humanas, “modernidade” congrega, em um mesmo vocábulo, um conceito e uma proposta de periodização, ambos instrumentos essenciais da escrita historiográfica. Pretende-se aqui explorar de que forma a análise do conceito de modernidade, em conexão com uma ideia específica de universalismo, pode nos ajudar a compreender algumas características presentes nas concepções historiográficas europeias formuladas no século XIX, mas que deixaram marcas persistentes ao longo de grande parte do século XX. Nessa direção, buscou-se avaliar de que maneira o conceito de modernidade acabou fornecendo os parâmetros a partir dos quais as sociedades dos demais continentes seriam julgadas e, ato contínuo, hierarquizadas, com os povos da Europa ocidental ocupando o vértice dessa pirâmide classificatória.

İmâm-ı Âsım şahsiyeti, fazileti, takvası ve kıraatıyla âlimler tarafından övgüyle anılmıştır. İlk dönemden itibaren kıraatıyla şöhrete kavuşan Âsım, mütevâtir imamlar arasında 5. sırada yer almaktadır. Hocası Ebû Abdurrahman es-Sülemî’den sonra Kûfe’de Kur’an/kıraat okutma kürsüsüne oturmuştur. Daha çok Kûfe’de Kur’an okutmuş ve civar beldeleri de dolaşmıştır. Onun yaşadığı dönem Emevîler dönemidir. Bu dönemde siyasi olaylarda adı yer almayan Âsım kendini Kur’an/kıraat okutmaya ve talebe yetiştirmeye adamıştır. Âsım’ın kıraat senedi diğer kıraat imamları gibi sahihtir. Onun kıraatı Hafs rivâyetiyle tarihsel süreç içinde olduğu gibi günümüzde de kabul görmektedir. Bu önemi sebebiyle Âsım’ın hayatı ve kıraatı konusunda faydalı çalışmalar yapılmıştır. Ancak onun hayatı ve kıraatıyla ilgili konuların farklı detaylarla yeniden incelenmesinde fayda hasıl olacaktır. Bu sebeple çalışmada onun hayatı, adı, doğumu, ölümü, nesebi ve şahsiyeti ile beraber kıraat ilmindeki yeri ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada sadece onun kıraatına dair âlimler tarafından yapılan değerlendirmeler, okuma ve okutma yöntemi ele alınacak, hocaları, öğrencileri râvileri, sened ve tarikleri genel olarak verilecektir. Usûl ve ferş ihtilaflarına ise yer verilmeyecektir. Çalışma için tabakât ve temel kıraat kaynakları incelenmiş ve mevcut bilgiler eşliğinde değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır.
Dinámica socioeconómica de Sinop: análisis del territorio y sus implicaciones
Authors: Buose Brenda , Buose Gabriellin , Carignani Gisele , Lopes Raiany Reis Jonasson Prado
Published: July 2024

Este artículo presenta un estudio sobre la dinámica socioeconómica presente en la ciudad de Sinop, Mato Grosso. Aunque fue fundado hace sólo 48 años, el municipio ya está marcado por la desigualdad territorial y la segregación social, problemas urbanos comúnmente observados en otras ciudades brasileñas. Uno de los principales desafíos que enfrenta la ciudad es la importante cantidad de vacíos urbanos, resultado de la intensa especulación inmobiliaria en la región. Este problema requiere atención y soluciones que tengan como objetivo mitigar los impactos negativos de esta situación, a través de soluciones mitigadoras. En este contexto, el estudio buscó identificar los problemas derivados de la alta especulación inmobiliaria en la región. Además, se encontró que uno de los mayores obstáculos que enfrentan los ciudadanos es la falta de movilidad, ya que los barrios están cada vez más alejados entre sí. En este escenario, la infraestructura de agua, electricidad y alcantarillado termina siendo subutilizada debido a la baja densidad poblacional, resultado de la sobrevaloración de los lotes. Frente a estos desafíos expuestos, es fundamental buscar soluciones que promuevan la equidad urbana, a través del desarrollo de políticas públicas orientadas a la inclusión social.
Modification of the Structure and Mechanical Properties of Cu-30%Zn alloy with Cerium and Silicon
Authors: Iyebeye KO , Nwambu CN , Nnuka EE
Published: July 2024

This study investigates how the introduction of cerium and silicon influences the structure and mechanical characteristics of Cu-30%Zn alloy. The examined properties included tensile strength, hardness, and impact resistance. The tensile strength of the developed alloys was determined using an automated JPL tensile strength tester (Model: 130812) with a capacity of 100 kilonewtons, following the ASTM D638 standard. The impact strength was assessed by the ASTM D256 standard using a pendulum impact testing machine (Model: U1820). Additionally, hardness testing was conducted using a Brinell tester. The Brinell hardness test was performed with a portable dynamic hardness tester (Model: DHT-6) by the British Standard (BS EN ISO 6505-1:2014). Specimens were prepared by incorporating cerium and silicon into the Cu-30%Zn alloy at concentrations of 0.1wt%, 0.3wt%, 0.5wt%, 1.0wt%, 3.0wt% 5.0wt% ranging from 0.1% to 5.0%, with increments of 0.2% for micro addition and 2.0% for macro addition. Microstructural analysis was performed using an L2003A reflected light metallurgical microscope. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) were also utilized to characterize the cast specimens. The findings revealed a proportional increase in tensile strength, impact strength, and hardness strength with the rise in dopant concentrations up to 3.0wt% for cerium and silicon. Also, the analysis uncovered the presence of. primary α-phase, β-phase (intermetallic phases), and fine stable phase. These phase modifications contributed to the enhancement of mechanical properties. Cu-30wt%Zn enriched with 3.0% cerium and silicon demonstrated heightened tensile strength, impact strength, and hardness, making it a recommended choice for engineering applications.

Authors: Avtenyuk A.S. , Makarov I.V.
Published: July 2024

This article describes the study of attention concentration in children using a new method — the ATTON test for the first time. The duration of the test, the response rate, the number of errors and correct answers in the main (106 children) and control (108 children) groups were measured. The authors identified differences in the groups in test duration, response rate, number of errors and correctly completed tasks at the significance level α<0.001. And also presented normative indicators of test duration, response rate, number of erroneous and correct answers for children aged 5, 6 and 7 years. The relationship between the duration of the test, the number of errors and correct answers of the ATTON test with the scores of the proof-reading test "Encryption", as well as with a non-verbal intellectual indicator, was revealed. The retest reliability was determined at the level of r=0.757 at p<0.001. The Cronbach's alpha value for the test was 0.973.

Published: July 2024

Presented are mathematical and software tools providing the formation and objective quantitative assessment of teamwork skills based on quantum representations. These tools utilize the formal representations of subjects' activities through probability matrices of transitions between the performed elementary operations. Analysis of the subjects' activities is based on comparisons of these matrices for a pattern of actions under study with relevant matrices for patterns of empirical data representing various variants of the subjects' work. When evaluating the teamwork skills, these comparisons are performed according to the "Triangle Scheme", which involves comparing the coordinated actions of the subjects performed in pairs and individually. For this purpose, the quantum spectral analysis is used, which provides effective quantitative comparisons of the hidden periodicities of performing typical elementary operations and their quantities in the spectral metric. The tools for the formation and assessment of teamwork skills are implemented in the form of both a flight simulator with the separation of control channels between pilots and a modified computer game "Sea Battle", which allows to evaluate the dynamics of partners’ communication and cooperation by analyzing their moves as well as tips transmitted to each other. The presented approach to the formation and assessment of teamwork skills is quite universal and can be used in various applications areas, including the assessment and training of flight crews, operators of complex technical systems, students of various levels and other target groups.

The paper presents the results of the initial adaptation and validation of the «The Process of Retirement Planning Scale» questionnaire, developed by a team of New Zealand scientists. Verification of the reliability and discriminativeness of the questionnaire subscales, gender differences and the model of retirement preparation were performed on a sample of 337 respondents (43 to 65 years old). Convergent validity was checked on a sample of 202 respondents (45 to 63 years old). Results showed that questionnaire has good psychometric measures and preserve 4-component model of retirement preparedness on a sample of Russian pre-retirees. Final version of questionnaire includes 35 items divided into 4 subscales and has a high degree of reliability-consistency: «Retirement representations» (Cronbach's alpha = 0,933), «Retirement goals» (Cronbach's alpha = 0.862), «The decision to prepare for retirement» (Cronbach's alpha = 0.855), «Preparing for retirement» (Cronbach's alpha = 0.854). «The Process of Retirement Planning Scale» is a reliable instrument measuring the stages of the process under study and can be used in psychological studies of pre-retirement planning.
La retratística de Juana I de Castilla a través de los sellos de plomo
Authors: García Alfonso Miguel Ángel
Published: July 2024

Con este artículo se pretende dar a conocer la imagen de Juana I de Castilla a través de un análisis centrado en los sellos de plomo, una gran fuente iconográfica que permitirá el acercamiento a su figura desde tres puntos de vista: la autoridad, el poder y la representación. A través de la sigilografía se puede deducir, a todos los efectos cómo eran representadas las últimas reinas Trastámara, siempre tomando como ejemplo y modelo a Isabel la Católica. Como se apreciará, su imagen se corresponde con lo que se espera de ella como reina y como mujer. Su efigie no desborda tanto poder o magnificencia como la de Isabel la Católica y las representaciones en los sellos muestran a una soberana con los atributos propios del poder y la percepción de una mujer mariana, es decir, vinculada a la imagen de la Virgen María.

Authors: Sánchez Sánchez José María
Published: July 2024

Don Juan Antonio Verdura, un comerciante oriundo del Puerto de Santa María asentado en la ciudad de Lima, en 1723 remitió para la capilla de Nuestra Señora de los Milagros, patrona de su ciudad natal, una manda de plata labrada, consistente en seis simulacros de jarras con sus correspondientes ramos, para adorno de su altar en las festividades solemnes que, hoy día, aún se conservan en perfecto estado. Nueva documentación inédita encontrada en el Archivo General de Indias nos ha permitido identificar a su donante y año exacto de remisión, junto a otros interesantes datos complementarios sobre este obsequio.
Un caso de pervivencia iconográfica: la temática del baño femenino en las lucernas de disco romanas de época alto-imperial
Authors: Vendrell Cabanillas David
Published: July 2024

La temática iconográfica del baño femenino pervive durante el helenismo hasta que es incorporada en la cultura artística romana, en la cual destaca la peculiar producción de lucernas de terracota fechadas en torno a los siglos I-III d.C. En sus discos circulares vemos la representación estandarizada en bajorrelieve de bañistas lavándose en la pila y en cuclillas, y del tipo de la Venus púdica, anadiómene y aposandalizousa; un caso de estudio no tratado aún por la tradición historiográfica. Por esta razón, el objetivo del presente artículo es llevar a cabo un estudio iconográfico y compositivo de las imágenes de baño femenino presentes en el repertorio figurativo de las lucernas de disco romanas de época alto-imperial las cuales, por un lado, adquieren una dimensión humana y/o divina y, por otro lado, presentan modelos y/o esquemas composicionales arcaicos que evidencian un caso de pervivencia iconográfica.
Personality traits in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Authors: Areprintseva Dariya K. , Kutlubaev Mansur A. , Pervushina Ekaterina V.
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: The results of several studies indicate that patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) exhibit certain personality traits. However, it is currently unclear which specific traits are most typical for those patients, and whether these traits are universal across different ethno-cultural backgrounds.
AIM: To analyse the personality traits of patients with ALS.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included patients with various forms of ALS according to the Revised El Escorial Criteria. The following data were collected: demographic information, the form of the disease, and the stage according to the King's College system. A short five-factor personality questionnaire (TIPI-RU) was used to assess personal characteristics. The statistical analysis employed non-parametric statistical methods.
RESULTS: Patients with ALS had significantly higher levels of agreebleness (p=0.037). Analysis of personality traits within the group of patients with ALS showed that in patients with bulbar onset, had a significantly higher level of agreebleness — 5 (4.5–7) than in patients with spinal onset 4.5 (4–5), p=0.006. The correlation analysis revealed a direct weak relationship between the degree of extraversion and age (r=0.3; p=0.013).
CONCLUSION: The analysis of the personality traits of the ALS patients showed a higher friendliness (agreeableness) compared to the control group. Future research should elucidate whether this parameter could be considered as one of the markers of increased risk of ALS development.

Authors: Kızılaslan Semanur , Samancı Tekin Çiğdem
Published: July 2024

Objective: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is the most fatal disease in Turkey. The present study attempted to explore IHD risk factors and risk-related awareness among university students.
Materials and Methods: We took the height, weight, waist circumference, and blood pressure measurements of 786 university students and tried to identify their IHD risk factors and risk-related awareness through a survey. The study was carried out on a public university campus over three weekends in October 2022.
Results: The findings showed that the most common modifiable IHD risk factors were poor physical activity (48.9%), smoking (30.5%), and overweight/obesity (21.5%) in our sample aged 18-35 years. Yet, the most prevalent non-modifiable risk factor was found to be familial chronic diseases (29.9%). Besides, the participants were found to have poor knowledge of IHD risk factors (8.9±2.5). Our other remarkable finding demonstrated that the male students’ knowledge of CVD was poorer than their female counterparts, although the male gender is a non-modifiable CVD risk factor.
Conclusion: Participants with a relatively high level of education, interestingly, had poor knowledge and risk awareness of IHD despite bearing a higher rate of IHD risk factors.

From the Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) perspective, irrational beliefs are posited as the primary catalysts for a myriad of problems, including academic burnout. This study aims to examine the theoretical model of irrational beliefs organization in academic burnout. The hypothesized model delineates the following pathways: (1) from demandingness (DEM) to academic burnout (BURN) via catastrophizing (CAT); (2) from demandingness (DEM) to academic burnout (BURN) via low frustration tolerance (LFT); and (3) from demandingness (DEM) to academic burnout (BURN) via self-depreciation (DEP). To achieve the aim, the study employed a causal relationship design. 424 subjects obtained by stratified random sampling participated in the study. The Indonesian version of the Attitude Belief Scale II and the School Burnout Inventory were used to collect data. Data analysis was carried out using path analysis with SPSS 16. The results show that the hypothesized model has received adequate empirical support after eliminating a path from LFT to BURN. In conclusion, two alternative paths of irrational beliefs contribute to academic burnout: (1) the path from DEM to BURN via CAT; and (2) the path from DEM to BURN via DEP. These results underscore demandingness as a primary irrational belief that affects academic burnout via two other secondary irrational beliefs: catastrophizing and self-depreciation. Conversely, low frustration tolerance does not emerge as a significant contributor to academic burnout within this framework.

Published: July 2024

It becomes a challenge for lecturers to provide services to the community through a culture of collaboration that makes it easier for academics to make their contribution to society. This study aims to investigate the relationship between academic culture and collaborative culture as a collaborative academic culture for effective teaching in higher education. This study involved 35 lecturers as respondents in this survey from five universities in Indonesia. A Likert scale was used to collect data from an online survey using Google Forms, and Smart-PLS was applied to evaluate the data. The findings of the study indicate that this climate must be cultivated so that a culture of academic collaborative is achieved optimally. The two concepts are understood implicitly but remain a unity and an interaction that is not confusing in implementation to study the dynamics of institutional behavior and encourage or manage effective teaching improvement. Keywords: Academic collaborative culture, effective teaching, academic culture
