Authors: Munzir Busnia  , Irwin Mirza Umami  , Marina
Published: May 2024

The oil palm ecosystem is one of the suitable habitats for the order Dermaptera. Several physical factors, especially humidity in the oil palm ecosystem, support these insects' existence. In the oil palm ecosystem, Dermaptera has several functions, including as a predator of oil palm pests, but on the other hand, these insects also prey on Elaeidobius kamerunicus Faust, the primary pollinator of oil palm plants. For that reason, research was conducted to study the structure of the Dermaptera community in the ecosystem of oil palm plantations in the Sitiung sub-district. This research was a survey conducted at three locations- Sitiung, Gunung Medan, and Sungai Duo Villages—the collection of insect samples by hand collection. Identification of insect samples was carried out at the species level according to Burr (1910) and Borror et al. (1996). In this study, 214 individuals of the order Dermaptera were found to consist of three species: Cheslisoches mario, Forficula auricularia, and Vostox brunneipennis. C. mario was the dominant Dermaptera species found with an Importance Value Index (IVI) was 1.27. Based on this research, it is known that the community structure of the order Dermaptera was simple because it has low diversity values.

تنفرد اللغة العربية من بين مثيلاتها من اللغات المتصرفة أو التحليلية باعتمالها للواصق التصريفية والاشتقاقية في بناها معًا، إذ تندرج اللغات كلها تحت مدارج التصنيف الثلاثي من حيث بنيتها ودلالتها التي تتوزع بين (العازلة والإلصاقية، والتصريفية) والأخيرة تدل على العلاقات النحوية ودلالتها المتنوعة التي تقبل بنيتها السوابق واللواحق والدواخل مع التغيير الذي يطرأ عليها عبر التحولات الداخلية.
فقد تناول البحث بالدراسة والتحليل هذه المناحي من خلال استجلاء طائفة من صيغ التنوعات الصرفية المتناسلة عبر هذه اللواصق التصريفية تارة والمتمثلة بالسوابق حصرًا، والاشتقاقية المتمثلة بالتحولات الداخلية وبالمصوتات الطويلة تارة أخرى وكل ذلك في شعر ابن الرومي.
لذا جاء العنوان ليستقيم على ما هو عليه، ولتتوزع المادة على مهاد نظري ومحاور خمسة تمثلت بالصيغ المدروسة وهي: (تَفْعال، وتِفْعال، ومِفْعَل، ومِفْعال، ومِفْعيل) ثم تلتها قائمة تناولت أهم النتائج التي توصلنا إليها، مع سرد فيها للمصادر والمراجع في قائمتها، ولقد ذيلنا البحث بملاحق تظهر العمل المكد الذي اضنينا لأجله السبل في رصد هذه الصيغ وامثلتها في شعر ابن الرومي وسجلنا فيها. فقد بينت لنا هذه الدراسة أن اللواصق التصريفية متواشجة مع الاشتقاقية إنماءً للغة العربية وإدامتها، مع مدها بالصيغ والألفاظ والمعاني والدلالات الجديدة.

An Acoustic Analysis of Voice Onset Time in the Production of Voiceless Plosives in English and Iraqi Turkmen
Authors: Muhammed Rajaa Adil , Ali Al-Thalab Hasan Shaban
Published: May 2024

This paper is a study of voice onset time, VOT, in Iraqi Turkmen and English. The stops /t, k/ were used in initial position and were embedded in words which were presented to ten native speakers of Iraqi Turkmen and four English native speakers. Recordings were made and analyzed using computer software that generated a spectrogram for each word (prrat). Results prove that stops in Iraqi Turkmen and in English occur at the same place along the VOT. The study also found that Place of articulation has a significant effect on VOT values and asserts the strong relationship between VOT values and place of articulation. Moreover vowel context has its significant effect on VOT values and asserts the strong relationship between VOT values and vowel context. Additionally, it is found that gender impact on VOT values varied from one language group to another, gender has no significant effect in the production of voiceless plosives in Iraqi Turkmen. Whereas English male speakers produce longer voice onset time than Female speakers.
The Role of Prosodic Features in Conversational Interaction : Hard Talk a Case Study
Authors: Ali Hadeel Kamil , Fouad Ameena Farouk
Published: May 2024

This study aims to look into the relationships between prosodic features from phonological perspective and interactional relationships and sequence organization from conversation analysis (CA) view. There are specific prosodic cues that speakers employ to signal to one another when it is their turn to talk in any speech situation. These cues serve as signs to let other people know when it is the speaker's turn to talk.  It is important to demonstrate that some prosodic patterns indicate the end or continuation of a turn. Prosodic orientation, such as intonation and tone patterns, are hypothesized to reveal information about participants' matching and non-matching of a prior turn. The consistent use of the same pitch height indicates that there is agreement among the participants on a specific situation.             PRAAT, a computer program  is used for doing acoustic analysis to conduct the prosodic analysis following Ladefoged’s model. It is supposed that when the speaker makes a low pitch, he is no more interested in the topic raised or no more excited, but when there is a high pitch that means there is more to be added and some significant issues can be shown However, prosodic orientation is obviously used in political interviews in a manner similar to that of ordinary speech. As well as Political interviews commonly employ pauses, interrupted speech, and reasoning, some of which show a particular orientation to the preceding turns
The system of ornamental elements in animal-style images from the Ulandryk I burial ground
Authors: Grigoreva Alina
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the system of ornamental elements on animal style products from the Ulandryk I. The purpose of the study is to identify and classify ornamental elements in zoomorphic and ornithomorphic images. The subject of the study, therefore, are objects with zoomorphic images from mounds 1-4, 6 and 12 of the Ulandryk I. The group of monuments in the context of one burial was chosen mainly for two reasons. Firstly, objects with zoomorphic images were found only in these burial mounds. Secondly, the study of the data on the dating of the monument by the method of wood-ring analysis showed that these mounds were built within 10 years – in 308-298 BC. A short time interval for the creation of mounds allows us to consider the ornamental system presented in their images as a single whole, without separation into individual mounds. The article suggests using the method of formal analysis to clarify the description of ornaments available in the works of V.D. Kubarev – to divide them into elements and motifs, as well as to make a classification. This classification makes it possible to identify ornamental elements characteristic of zoomorphic images and clarify the boundaries of the use of various ornamental elements in the art of the Pazyryk culture. The scientific novelty of the study is predetermined by the absence in Russian historiography of works describing the system of ornamental elements in the images of the animal style of the burial ground, as well as the lack of a developed methodology for such a description in relation to the archaeological materials of the Pazyryk culture. The study of the materials of V.D. Kubarev's excavations, presented by him in a 1987 monograph, as well as the latest publications of the materials of the burial ground by G.V. Kubarev, revealed that despite the presence of ornamental elements both in the images of animal style and in objects of weapons, costume, horse equipment, there is no unified system and the described structure of the ornamental system based on the materials of the burial ground. Researchers identify individual motifs and elements on clothing items, but do not correlate them with similar ones in animal-style images. The relevance is due to the interest in studying various aspects of the meanings of zoomorphic images and ornamental elements in the context of the art of the Scythian-Siberian world.

Published: May 2024

Niosomes, also known as nonionic surfactant vesicles, are one of the many carriers used to carry drug molecules to their target sites. They can hold both hydrophilic and hydrophobic medicines. Indapamide is an angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1) antagonist medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure. Niosomes containing Indapamide were created utilizing the thin film hydration process with various cholesterol concentrations and nonionic surfactants (span 60). All noisome formulations were assessed for entrapment efficiency, drug content, reproducibility, vesicular diameter, shape and size distribution microphotography, FTIR analysis, and in vitro release experiments. The results indicate that in all of the created niosomal formulations, as the surfactant content increases, the entrapment efficiency also increases. The drug content ranged between 90.06±0.57 and 96.15±0.42, with a low standard deviation. Niosomes range in size from 0.280±0.098µm to 0.299±0.044µm and have a spherical shape. The IR spectrum analysis indicated no interaction between the medication and the formulation ingredients. Membrane diffusion cells were used to study the in vitro dissolution parameters. The results demonstrate that formulation F6 had a better-controlled release action than other formulations, with an 'n' value of 0.917, indicating that the medication was released using zero-order kinetics.

Os sistemas nervoso e sensorial são responsáveis por receber, processar e responder a estímulos internos e externos. Ambos os sistemas estão intrínsecamente interligados e, portanto, são apresentados conjuntamente neste atlas. Via de regra, aspectos de anatomia topológica do sistema nervoso central serão apresentados anteriormente ao sistema nervoso periférico e, por fim, sistema sensorial. O objetivo dessa obra é contribuir para o conhecimento a respeito da estrutura morfofuncional dos vertebrados, permitindo ao público em geral compreender a complexidade de sua constituição, em uma abordagem comparativa por sistema orgânico. Cabe ressaltar que não foi nosso objetivo esgotar os assuntos em pauta, nem tampouco desenvolver revisão teórica sobre os temas abordados. Essa publicação congrega uma coletânea de preparações e imagens produzidas ao longo de mais de duas décadas de pesquisa e produção de objetos educacionais no Laboratório de Anatomia Comparada de Vertebrados da Universidade de Brasília. A maior representação de grupos como peixes, anfíbios, lagartos, serpentes e mamíferos se justifica pela maior disponibilidade de material e aproveitamento de espécimes originários de projetos de pesquisa com esses grupos.

Published: May 2024

The aim of this study was to find out the emotional experiences of students in online learning English using an online platform in the middle of Covid-19. The research was a single case study. Data were garnered from the results of interviews and documents. The participants in this study were three students at a senior high school in Luwuk, Central Sulawesi. The researcher analyzed the data thematically as proposed by Braun Clarke (2006). The finding showed that online learning English affected the emotional experiences of the students. The students experienced a positive emotion, i.e happiness. The happiness feeling was driven by the provision of feedback and explanation by teachers before giving tasks, allowing the students to send their tasks on the platform they wanted, explaining the materials through Zoom Application, and did not provide tasks in each meeting. However, they also experienced negative emotions such as frustration, anger, and anxiety in English learning using an online platform. They perceived frustration because online English learning was difficult for them. In this case, they had to purchase internet quota, did not meet in person with the teacher, had limitations of time, felt bored due to frequent use of Zoom Meeting, experienced many disturbances, such as; their smartphones’ memory filled up fast because of getting many files from their teachers. Consequently, the negative emotions decreased the students’ time invested and the amount of knowledge gained from the learning process. The study implies that learning English using an online platform influenced students’ emotions

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CODE MIXING AND CODE SWITCHING IN EFL CLASS
Authors: Rakhmannia Emita Dwisda
Published: May 2024

Language plays a crucial role in communication. English is regarded as a foreign language and is a required subject, particularly in Indonesian secondary schools. Every citizen spoke at least two languages, namely their mother tongue or regional language (B1) and Indonesian (B2). Despite the fact that they also use mother tongue or regional language in daily life to express respect and familiarity with interlocutors from the same group, Indonesian is typically used in both formal and informal contexts. This means that Indonesian students have limited exposure to English because English is only used in formal contexts and is rarely used outside the classroom. In language classrooms, code-switching is a strategy used to facilitate conversation. However, code-switching and code-mixing can help students improve their English speaking skills. The purpose of this study was to investigate how teachers and students implement code switching or mixing in EFL classrooms. This research method employs qualitative research by describing and identifying patterns directly associated with particular phenomena. The outcome demonstrated that code switching or code mixing in EFL classrooms can be an effective educational strategy.

Published: May 2024

Being taught reading is vital to fulfilling students' needs for academic success. To reach that requirement, teachers should teach reading comprehension in an entertaining way through technology. Kahoot! is one of the online applications used for teaching English with positive responses from students. This research project was done in one public high school in Banjarmasin, Indonesia. One hundred five students divided into six classes participated as study subjects. The research used a mixed-method approach, first analyzing quantitative data from a survey and qualitative data to give better insight into teacher and students' perceptions of their narratives. A framework for a lesson has been presented in this study, where it can be modified and implemented in lessons. The said framework used Kahoot! in teaching narrative text and was favored by the teacher. Both from the reflection of the teacher and students, Kahoot! gave students an enjoyable way to learn the narrative text, as well as giving more chances for them to decrease their anxiety and increase their motivation to learn English. Although the teacher found many obstacles to implementing Kahoot! in his teaching practice, at the end of the day, he considered his students active and excited to learn narrative text and plans to use Kahoot! for his future classes. The implication of this study was to encourage teachers to reflect on their students' feelings and level of engagement. Future studies can focus on the use of Kahoot! for another type of text or even for other skills.
