Published: May 2024

The development of science has shifted the process of learning mathematics from previously only involving numbers to numbers that have meaning, one of which is in the form of stories. However, many problems still need to be solved with the concept of addition and subtraction in the form of story problems. This research aims to improve student learning outcomes in addition and subtraction material through story problems. This research used the Teacher Action Research (TAR) approach with 14 second-grade students at Ciren Elementary School, Indonesia as participants. This research also used two data collection methods: providing mathematical worksheets and observations carried out by special observers. Data analysis was carried out by looking at the mean student scores, reflecting through FGDs with observers, and filling in observation sheets by the teacher. Furthermore, the results of this research are presented in the form of teacher observation sheet scores and mathematical worksheet work results. The score results on the observation sheet show an increase in scores from learning in cycle 1 to cycle 2. In addition, the average score of students' mathematical worksheets after intervention in the form of dienes block media and mathematical worksheets always increases with pre-cycle details (48), cycle I (80), and cycle II (84). Thus, using dienes block media assisted by mathematical worksheets can have direct implications for improving mathematics learning in addition and subtraction operation material.
Multifocal Osteonecrosis in Spinal Cord Injury
Authors: Tıkız Canan , Özbek İlhan Celil , Onağ Emir
Published: May 2024

Dear Editors,
Necrosis of the bone marrow and trabecular portion as a result of limited blood flow is known as osteonecrosis (ON) [1]. Several causes have been proposed for the development of ON, including vascular occlusions, ischemia, intravascular coagulation in interosseous tissue, increased intracortical pressure, mechanical stress, precursor cell death, and suppression of angiogenesis. There are multiple risk factors and medical condition associated with ON, including infections, hematological and coagulation problems, connective tissue illnesses, kidney diseases, excessive alcohol and tobacco use, and the use of corticosteroids and cytotoxic drugs [2].
Multifocal osteonecrosis, defined as the presence of osteonecrosis in three or more bone sites, is a rare entity representing less than 3% of osteonecrosis patients [3].
Due to its potent anti-inflammatory properties, methyl prednisolone (MP), one of the most extensively used corticosteroids, has been used for a long time in the acute phase of spinal cord injury and brain edema due to its strong anti-inflammatory properties [4]. Although studies have reported cases of multifocal osteonecrosis (MFON) brought on by corticosteroid medication, this link has never been examined in a patient with a spinal cord injury.
This letter aims to highlight MFON that occurred in a patient who underwent acute spinal cord injury and high-dose steroid therapy.

Published: May 2024

In this editorial, we collectively wonder about The End(s) of Time in educational settings. To do this wondering, we unpack the idea of ‘End’ and its various definitions. Then, we move to thinking about how time and narrative entangle within educational spaces to create opportunities for knowing within and across generations of beings—adults and children—on the school landscape. We describe the concept of ‘diffractive pedagogies’ and then share examples of diffractive pedagogies within and across four disciplines (history, language arts, computer science, and earth science) and then we draw out from school into family and community knowing.

Published: May 2024

This study aims to determine the existing forms of financial reporting and to find out stages, impacts and driving factors of the process of implementing ISAK 35 on the presentation of financial reports of the Manado Diocese of the Catholic Church based on the institutional theory of the form of coercive isomorphism and the Edward III model theory, namely communication, resources, disposition, bureaucratic structure. This study uses the method descriptive qualitative where data collection was carried out by means of interviews and documentation studies. The results show that the policy for implementing financial accounting information systems is not yet fully in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The organization has not fully adhered to the standard of ISAK 35. Financial records are processed using existing financial applications. By the aspect of resources, the attitude of the implementers still shows that the implementers still have minimal/not yet adequate knowledge about the accounting system created and communication between implementing agents is not yet optimal. The indicators in the bureaucratic structure variable in the form of SOPs have been achieved well because in 2019 the Manado Diocese has created a Financial Guideline that must be implemented by every parish, although in practice it is not yet perfect. In its implementation, there are still obstacles from a practical perspective, such as human error, hardware weaknesses, software weaknesses and system weaknesses. Efforts to overcome obstacles include continuing to update applications that have been created based on the latest standards and providing regular training materials that are packaged easily so that the attitude of the application implementing agents themselves can accept the new policy and those responsible for parish finances must be wiser and adhere to diocesan policies to produce financial reports that are transparent, accountable, and trustworthy.

The relationship between husband and wife should be a good example for their children. This relationship can be based on happiness and harmony. But in reality, wives in their position face a lot of domestic (economic) neglect and violence from their husbands, both sexual, psychological and physical violence. A number of women's considerations in handling domestic violence issues in their families make some victims hesitate to immediately report to law enforcement officials and take legal action to find a solution). Based on the facts that occur, most women and children are often victims of domestic violence. The number in Indonesia is very high, around 24 million cases or 11.4% have experienced acts of violence. The dominant violence experienced by Indonesian women is domestic violence or domestic violence, such as maltreatment, rape, harassment or infidelity committed by the husband. The problem in this paper is whether women as victims of physical violence have obtained legal protection? Based on the results of the research, it is found that women as victims of physical violence have not fully obtained optimal legal protection because when the victim finishes making a report the Police investigator at the Polres/Polresta level, especially at the Women and Children Protection Unit (UPPA) must take her to a safe house but this has not been done. Then when the victim finishes making a police report and returns home, the Police investigator/investigator at the Polres/Polresta level, especially at the Women and Children Protection Unit must collaborate with other family members and neighbouring parties to provide protection to the victim in the form of supervision but this has not been done. So it is suggested that the Indonesian National Police at the Polres/Polresta level, especially the Women and Child Protection Unit can work together with community leaders and religious leaders as well as the government at the sub-district level to actively conduct socialisation about legal protection against women of physical violence in the household so that women as victims no longer feel afraid or pressured to report the acts of violence they experience.

The utilization of mobile technology has given birth to a new form of learning called mobile learning, which can facilitate students in learning the English vocabulary words. Vocabulary learning through mobile phone allows learners to have spaced repetition on vocabulary items. Whereas the penetration of WhatsApp Application in Indonesia keeps climbing, little research has explored the application of WhatsApp in vocabulary learning. The purposes of the study were (a) to examine whether WhatsApp collaborative vocabulary learning is more effective than the non-collaborative one (b) to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of vocabulary learning via WhatsApp based on the collaborative and non-collaborative learning methods and to examine which one is more effective. There were 50 students from two classes of English from Universitas Krisnadwipayana in Indonesia that were assigned to two groups: The collaborative learning group (the experimental group) and the non-collaborative learning group (the control group). They had to learn 75 words during 25 days of treatment. After the treatment, both group had to take a post-test. As a final step, both groups had to write a written reflection on the advantages and disadvantages of learning vocabulary through the WhatsApp based on the learning method that they used. As a result, from two-tailed independent samples T test, it was found that the experimental group outperformed the control group. Then, from the written reflection, it was indicated that the experimental group showed more positive attitudes toward the collaborative vocabulary learning via WhatsApp Messenger while those in the control group showed more neutral attitudes toward the non-collaborative learning. Based on those facts, it could be concluded that the collaborative vocabulary learning via WhatsApp Messenger was more effective than the non-collaborative one.

Sessiz Satış Elemanı Ambalaj: Ambalajlı İçme Suyu Sektöründe Bir İnceleme
Authors: Doğaner Mustafa , Temel Eren
Published: May 2024

Ambalaj hemen tüm gıda ürünleri için koruma-muhafaza etme, taşıma, saklama-depolama gibi fiziksel faydalar ile vazgeçilmez bir bileşendir. Ayrıca ambalaj, tüketicilerin dikkatini çekme, ilgi uyandırma ve satın almak yönünde harekete geçirme gibi psikolojik unsurlar barındıran bir görsel iletişim, bir pazarlama aracı olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Bu da işletmeler için rafta markasını farklılaştırmak adına önemli stratejik kararlara bağlıdır. Ambalajlama kararları tüm sektörler için önem arz ederken, belli başlı sektörlerde işletmenin bazı sınırlılıkları bulunmaktadır. Ambalajlı içme suyu endüstrisi bunların başında gelmektedir. Bir yanda, ürünün ve ambalajın belirli standartlara uygun olması ve tüketici sağlığını koruması önemlidir. Diğer yanda ise, ürünün raflarda dikkat çekici ve diğer marka veya alternatif ürünlerle karşılaştırıldığında çekici olması, satın almaya yönlendirmesi gerekmektedir. Ancak, ambalajlı içme sularının birçoğunda ortaya çıkan bir durum, genellikle benzer şekillerde, büyüklüklerde, renklerde olmaları ve tüketicilerin uzaktan markaları ayırt edemeyecek kadar benzer görünmeleridir. Tat ve kalite açısından elbette belirli farklar bulunan, ancak birbirinden bu özellikleriyle farklılaşması diğer gıda ürünlerine göre görece daha zor kabul edilebilecek bu sektörde ambalaj üzerinden farklılaşmanın potansiyel taşıdığı düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın temel odak noktası içme suyu ambalajlarıdır. Çalışmada literatür derlemesi ışığında tüketici davranışı açısından ambalajın tasarımı ve materyali ele alınmıştır. Diğer birçok üründen farklı olarak tasarım, renk, şekil gibi alanlarda işletmelere sınırlı esneklik sunan bu alanda maliyet faktörleri, pazarlama stratejileri ve tüketici tepkileri üçgeninde işletmelerin stratejileri değerlendirilmiştir. Bu kapsamda doküman taraması yapılarak literatürde yer alan bilgiler ışığında, yoğun rekabet ortamında tüketicinin dikkatini çekmek için yarışan farklı aktörlerin ve mesajların bulunduğu ambalajlı su sektöründe keşfedilmeyi bekleyen ambalajlama stratejilerine ilişkin bazı çıkarımlarda bulunulmuş ve değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır.

A dislipidemia é uma doença caracterizada por níveis plasmáticos elevados de colesterol total e LDL-C, levando a um risco de desenvolvimento de doença cardiovascular aterosclerótica. Os fitoesteróis, têm sido amplamente estudados no sentido de elucidar sua ação sobre os níveis lipídicos e assim serem incluídos no tratamento nutricional nas dislipidemias. O estudo objetivou identificar as evidências experimentais e clínicas dos fitoesteróis e fitoestanóis na prevenção das dislipidemias, construído a partir da questão norteadora: “Quais as evidências experimentais e clínicas da ação dos fitoesteróis e fitoestanóis na prevenção das dislipidemias?” Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura com buscas nas bases de dados Pubmed, LILACS, Scielo e Web of Science. A partir dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, da análise dos artigos que responderam à pergunta norteadora e que apresentaram em seus resultados considerações sobre as evidências clínicas e experimentais na prevenção das dislipidemias, selecionou-se 10 trabalhos para compor o artigo. Os estudos evidenciaram que a redução do colesterol total e do LDL-C ocorreu devido à sua absorção diminuída e ao aumento da eliminação do mesmo nas fezes. Pode-se concluir que os fitoesteróis e fitoestanóis são compostos bioativos que atuam na redução de dislipidemias, e as vias de administração podem ser por suplementação usando-os isoladamente, alimentos com propriedades funcionais adicionados de esteróis vegetais e ou alimentos in natura ricos nessas substâncias. Sugere-se que o consumo desses compostos sejam estimulados contribuindo para a redução das dislipidemias e das doenças cardiovasculares.

Applicability Of Reflection Separation Algorithms To Nonlinear Irregular Waves Over Sloping Foreshores
Authors: ANDERSEN LYKKE , ELDRUP M.R.
Published: May 2024

In hydraulic model tests, it is common practice to relate the response of the tested structure to the incident wave parameters at the toe. Estimation of the incident wave parameters at the toe is thus an essential part of the analysis of hydraulic model testing. In many cases, the design conditions at the toe are given by waves that are highly nonlinear or even depth limited. Modelling such conditions requires reproducing the prototype foreshore slope in the model. The present paper provide guidelines on the accuracy of a nonlinear reflection separation algorithm when applied to nonlinear waves over sloping foreshores. A simple methodology has been established to estimate the expected errors on the incident wave parameters.
Supplementing Industry-Specific Dynamic Positioning Requirements to Network Theory
Authors: Scheffers E.L. , De Vos P.
Published: May 2024

The trend towards fully autonomous navigation or reduced manning concepts, coupled with increased integration and interdependence of onboard systems due to the shift towards sustainable fuels and ever-increasing electrification and automation, has stressed the significance of ship systems’ reliability. These developments reinforce the demand for a clear assessment of the robustness of main and auxiliary systems in early-stage ship design. Network theory offers a promising approach to address this demand. However, current graph measures do not align with industry-specific requirements for improving system robustness. This study aims to augment robustness evaluation components, such as modularity (independent subsys-tems), redundancy and reconfigurability, with additional considerations specific to Dynamic Positioning (DP) applications in the maritime industry. The enhanced robustness evaluation components are translated into graph measures. By employing these graph measures, different systems can be compared with respect to robustness, enabling informed decision-making in the trade-offs typical to early stages of the design pro-cess (e.g., cost versus redundancy). The proposed methodology combines the principles of network theory and industry-specific DP requirements to provide a comprehensive framework for evaluating the robustness of ship systems. System reliability can be assessed by integrating the identified robustness components and incorporating them into the graph measures. The early findings of this study show the potential to improve ship design processes by providing a systematic and quantifiable approach to enhance robustness.

This thesis contains a description of the creation of a work of painting with the theme "The Impact of Deforestation as an Idea in The Creation of Painting" which was inspired by reading a book which reminded the author of his visit to Kalimantan. This will discuss the impact of deforestation in Indonesia. Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world, with its vast territory, Indonesia is known for its very diverse cultural, ethnic and natural riches, and as the Lungs of the World. However, the serious problem currently facing Indonesia is deforestation. Deforestation is the activity of cutting down forests where the land is converted for non-forest use. This change in forest land causes disruption of environmental conditions such as natural disasters, extinction of flora and fauna, global warming and climate change. The aim to be achieved in creating this work is to understand the impact of deforestation in Indonesia through creativity and imagination in the form of paintings using various techniques, media, considering the elements and principles of fine art. From the theme above, there are 6 (six) works that can be realized from the impact of deforestation which can provide an overview of the impact of deforestation in Indonesia.

Feudalism, which is a social or political system that gives great power to the nobility, in Indonesia, especially in Bali, still adheres to this system, where in literature and in traces of discourse it is stated that this system was already in effect at that time. However, apart from the Feudal system, Indonesia, especially Bali, has many existing traditions, such as the art of wayang kamasan painting and also Ma-gala-galaan or Gala-gala. The techniques used in the process of creating works of painting are the Dussel and Sigar techniques and how to visualize them on plywood media. The method used in the creation process is Hawkins, which consists of three stages, namely idea exploration, improvisation, and realization or forming.The result of this method is to search for ideas and how to visualize the concept of the Gelungan Wayang Kamasan character on plywood media. Improvise to find harmonious proportions and colors. The manifestation (forming) of all visual results found related to the title adopted is undergoing development. With the creation of this work, it is hoped that it will be useful for the community related to this state system and also about traditional painting and traditional games in Bali.

The solid–iquid phase equilibria of the system H3PO4–Ca(OH)2–H2O were studied under air pressure using a synthetic method based on conductivity measurements. Two isotherms at 15 and 45 °C were completely defined. The stable solid phases which appear in this range of temperature are hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2), calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate (CaHPO4.2H2O), calcium hydrogen phosphate anhydrous (CaHPO4) and calcium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate (Ca(H2PO4)2.H2O). These solid phases were characterized using X ray diffraction.

Microfiltration membranes, 4A zeolite/LDPE, were prepared by blending low density polyethylene (LDPE) and 4A zeolite through thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) process with diphenyl ether (DPE) as diluent. The effects of 4A zeolite loading on the pore structure and water permeation performance of the 4A zeolite/LDPE blend membranes were investigated. The incorporation of 4A zeolite particles greatly enhanced the connectivity of membrane pores, the pore size, and thus the water flux of 4A zeolite/LDPE blend membranes due to the gradually stronger DPE-zeolite affinity with the increase of the 4A zeolite loading. The water flux increased from 0 of LDPE control membrane to 87 L/m2h of 4A zeolite/LDPE blend membrane with 4A zeolite loading of 10 wt%. In addition, increasing the DPE content and cooling bath temperature is in favor of the water flux of 4A zeolite/LDPE blend membranes.

A significant number of the non-financial firms listed at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) have been experiencing declining financial performance, which deter investors from investing in such firms. It is not clear whether an optimal financial structure can lead to the operational efficiency of the firm. In addition, there exists a great dilemma for scholars, business managers, investors, among other stakeholders, as to whether there exists an optimal financial structure that maximizes the financial growth of the firm. This study aimed at establishing the effect of financial structure on the operational efficiency of non-financial firms listed at Nairobi Securities Exchange. The study was also guided by the following specific objectives which was to establish the effect of short-term debt, long-term debt, retained earnings and lastly share capital on operational efficiency of non-financial firms listed at Nairobi Securities Exchange. The study was guided by the Agency Theory, Pecking Order Theory, Trade-off Theory, Market Timing Theory and Theory of Growth of the Firm. An explanatory research design was adopted. The target population of the study comprised of 45 non-financial firms listed at the NSE for a period of ten years, from 2013 to 2022.The target population of the study comprised of 45 non-financial firms listed at the NSE for a period of ten years from 2013 to 31st December 2022 (NSE, 2022).The study adopted a census technique where all non-financial firms listed at NSE were considered. The study used a secondary data collection template to collect the data. Secondary data was extracted from published audited financial statements and NSE handbooks. Secondary data obtained covered a period of 10 years beginning from 2013 and ending in 2022.The study used secondary data collected from financial records of the listed non-financial firms. Descriptive statistics included mean, minimum, maximum, range standard deviations, coefficient of variation and trend analysis. Based on the findings, the study concluded that, short term debt has a positive and significant relationship with operational efficiency. It was further concluded that, long term debt has a positive and significant relationship with operational efficiency. The study also concluded that retained earnings has a positive and significant relationship with operational efficiency. The study finally concluded that, share capital has a positive and significant relationship with operational efficiency

Published: May 2024

The object of this research is the Industrial Engineering (IE) study program at Bandung Institute of Technology Cirebon Campus which runs block and non-block system lecture. The block system is a lecture by combining two to three class meeting of a course in one day while non-block system is a one time meeting in a week. Block system faced a lot of complained from students because the class were too hectic, the inability of students to receive a lot of quantitative material, and the monotony of the class. This study evaluates student’s mental workload by comparing the results of experimental measurements while attending block and non-block classes. Mental workload was measured with three measuring instruments, named NASA-TLX, Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS), and Stroop test. Experimental results with 38 students concluded that there is actually no significant difference in mental workload between the two systems. Factors that could cause this results to happen include previous experience in block classes, non-optimal block system instructional learning time, mental fatigue in students, and decreased attention.
