Authors: Wempy Gilarsi Eriyano
Published: September 2023

Penelitian ini membahas tentang persiapan Partai Komunis Indonesia (PKI) menjelang pemilihan anggota Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah (DPRD) di Jawa Timur tahun 1957. DPRD hasil pemilihan umum (pemilu) perlu segeradibentuk untuk kemudian ditugaskan memilih Kepala Daerah. Selain sudah menjadi agenda pemerintah, pemilihan umum ini ditujukan untuk memenuhi tuntutan otonomi daerah yang semakin gencar pada akhir 1950-an. Jawa Timur menjadi salah satu daerah diselenggarakannya pemilu ini dan PKI menjadi salah satu kontestan yang paling berambisi memenanginya. Dengan menggunakan metode sejarah melalui pendekatan sejarah politik behavioral, maka penulis menganalisis upaya yang dilakukan oleh PKI dalam menyongsong Pemilu DPRD di Jawa Timur. Data yang dipakai dalam penelitian ini berasal dari arsip dan surat kabar yang terbit pada tahun 1950-an, buku, jurnal, dan disertasi. Selain tampil sebagai partai yang mengusung cita-cita persatuan nasional untuk mendekati massa, upaya PKI dalam mengumpulkan dana pemilu tampak lebih terorganisir. Meskipun dihadang dengan keadaan darurat militer dan peniruan tanda gambar oleh partai-partai lain, PKI mampu menghadapinya dengan gigih. Penelitian ini berkesimpulan bahwa dalam mempersiapkan diri menuju Pemilu DPRD 1957 di Jawa Timur, PKI sedang dalam tren yang baik sehingga sengitnya persaingan dengan segenap partai lain juga dapat diatasi dengan taktik yang jitu, yaitu menunggangi isu-isu teraktual.
Analysis of Indirect Speech Acts in Toni Morrison’s ‘Beloved’
Authors: Sayyad Ayesha Imran
Published: September 2023

Speech act theory is a subfield of pragmatics that is concerned with the ways in which words are used not only to present information but also to carry out actions. The Nobel prize winner African American writer Toni Morrison has dealt with the subjects of violence, sacrifice, slavery, identity crisis, racial discrimination and many more throughout all her novels. Present study aims at examining the effects of indirect speech acts in her most celebrated novel ‘Beloved’ which depicts horrible situation of slavery in USA. It seeks to explore the dialogues in above mentioned novel to see how they have been used. The paper adopts Indirect speech act theory developed by J. R. Searle for the analysis. Only some of the highly marked speech acts will be used for the same. Indirect speech acts enable an interlocutor to convey beyond the boundaries of the words used. Searle’s proposition is, in an indirect speech act, the speaker communicates to the hearer more than he actually says by way of relaying on their mutually shared information, both linguistic and non- linguistic, together with the general powers of rationality and inferences on the part of the hearer. The study concludes that speech act theory is the most appropriate instrument to bring out to the fore the hidden meaning and the crucial aspects of the novel, and thereby, will increase the understanding and appreciation of her novels.

El derecho al debido proceso en el marco jurídico boliviano
Authors: Montenegro Dorita
Published: September 2023

El artículo aborda la evolución del debido proceso en Bolivia. Inicialmente, desde la Constitución de 1826, se le consideró solo como una garantía jurisdiccional. Sin embargo, su reconocimiento y desarrollo como derecho fundamental se consolidó a partir de la Constitución de 1967 y sus reformas subsiguientes, especialmente con el inicio del contralor constitucional en 1999. La Constitución actual de 2009 lo reconoce tanto como garantía como principio. A pesar de este reconocimiento, en la última década se ha observado una resistencia creciente al acatamiento de fallos que protegen este derecho fundamental.

Published: September 2023

Abstract: Food classification using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) has gained significant attention due to its potential applications in dietary analysis, food recommendation systems, and nutrition monitoring. In this study, we present a CNN-based approach for food classification, leveraging image data augmentation to enhance the model's ability to generalize to new and unseen food images. We utilize a dataset containing diverse food categories and preprocess the images by resizing and normalization. The proposed CNN architecture consists of multiple convolutional and pooling layers, along with dropout and batch normalization for regularization. To prevent overfitting, we employ early stopping as a custom callback during model training. The experimental results demonstrate promising training accuracy of 90.13% and relatively low training loss of 0.3066, indicating effective learning from the training data. the validation accuracy of 69.00% and validation loss of 1.270.

Between Grammar Rules and Meaning in Weighing the Ambiguities of Syntax in Al-Bayḍawi's Interpretation
Authors: Almalki Khalid Nasser , Pa Mat Taib , Hussin Mohamad
Published: September 2023

The abundance of syntactic possibilities is part of the nature of the Arabic language, and it is one of the features of the Qur’anic text. It is replete with these possibilities and syntactic models. The weighting between these syntactic faces requires careful consideration, reflection, and analysis to reach the goal. The research is based on the role of grammar rules and meaning in weighing these syntactic faces, focusing on this phenomenon in the Holy Qur’an through the interpretation of al-Bayḍāwi. The research in general relied on the qualitative approach, and in particular on a complete extrapolation of the samples of the study from the linguistic structures in al-Zahrawayn (al-Baqarah & Āli ‘Imrān) with its multiple syntactic faces. Forty samples of syntactic faces were identified, which inspires the research to go beyond the theoretical side to the applied side, through which the study was able to stand on many aspects that help to weigh between the possible syntactic faces. The grammar rules stood next to the meaning to reach the goal. What the grammar rules agreed on with the meaning was the first in the preference, unless the meaning came out to a rhetorical purpose, then the grammar rules will be looked at to find an expression that agrees with the meaning. The study also revealed that if the grammar rules and the meaning agree in more than one inflectional aspect, then the most correct meaning is the uncomplicated meaning in it, so the apparent is the first unless the meaning calls for a rhetorical joke. The study also revealed that what has no condition takes precedence over others.
Aqqād’s Poetry in the Critical Scale of Syed Qutb
Authors: Mir Mohammad Yousuf
Published: September 2023

The research aims to discuss how Syed Qutb has done the critical study of Aqqad’s Poetry and how he valued its status in his critical scale. Despite mutual agreement among Poets and Critics over Aqqād’s eminent place in Prose Literature and Criticism, there is a conflict upon his status in the realm of Poetry among Critics. Whereas some of the critics including Marun ‘Abood and Mahmud Mandur consider him an average poet, some others acknowledge his eminent place in the field of Poetry but at the same time they criticise the dominance of thoughts over emotions in his poetry and the leading one among them is his genius and favourite student, Syed Qutb, who availed of his long company. Keeping in view the same, the paper is an endeavour to assess Aqqad’s Poetry on the critical scale of Syed Qutb and specify his status in the Arabic Literature with overwhelming evidence and bright proof mentioned by Syed Qutb to prove his correct stance towards Aqqad’s Poetry. The analytical and critical methodology has been followed throughout the paper.

The current study aims at exploring the speech act of supplication in the Glorious Quran namely, the supplicants, the syntactic forms used in the Quran for supplication and its illocutionary force based on Searle's Speech Act Theory. To attain the main purpose of the current study, different syntactic forms of Quranic supplication are investigated based on the categories of the supplicants. The analysis is built upon the relationship between the addresser and the addressee, the situational context, and the lexical choices employed for supplication. Besides, the felicity conditions and the direction of fit are highlighted for explanatory purposes. Findings showed that the Quranic supplications are employed by angels, prophets, believers, unbelievers, Satan, Adam and Eve. Further, supplication is classified as a directive speech act based on Searle's taxonomy. However, the syntactic structures of imperatives, negative-imperatives, interrogatives, conditionals, and declaratives are used for the locutionary act of supplication. Thus, supplication can be classified as both direct directive and indirect directive.

A melhora na qualidade de vida de indivíduos com sequelas no membro superior pós acidente vascular encefálico é abordada na Terapia Ocupacional através de diversos recursos e técnicas com o objetivo de proporcionar independência e autonomia nas atividades de vida diária. Diante da grande incapacidade que essas sequelas causam, a tecnologia avança com novos recursos que possibilitam a eficácia na reabilitação com o uso da comunicação direta do cérebro humano com um dispositivo externo, denominada interface cérebro-máquina. Diante desta abordagem, a presente pesquisa buscou analisar a intervenção da Terapia Ocupacional com o uso da interface cérebro-máquina em indivíduos com comprometimentos no membro superior pós acidente vascular encefálico e analisar o repertório científico sobre o assunto, através de uma revisão integrativa de literatura. Pode-se concluir que o uso da interface cérebro-máquina associado a outras tecnologias, assim como a intervenção da Terapia Ocupacional convencional é benéfica e promissora no processo de reabilitação. Entretanto, barreiras socioeconômicas são premissas a serem analisadas, além de estudos com maior rigor metodológico e capacitações profissionais.

Authors:   , Oliveira Amanda Maria Franco de
Published: September 2023

A proposta deste trabalho apresenta-se como uma forma de identificar se há um potencial no uso da cultura pop, que neste caso engloba produtos de entretenimento como filmes, histórias em quadrinhos, jogos de videogame, música entre outros -, como ferramenta educacional e material didático complementar para o ensino da língua inglesa em escolas de educação básica com ênfase em alunos do Ensino Fundamental II e Ensino Médio. Para o desenvolvimento desta pesquisa, os objetivos a serem atingidos são: conceituar “cultura pop”, por meio de uma revisão de literatura e de observar a aplicação da cultura pop em pesquisas adequadas, com foco àquelas desenvolvidas na área da Educação como forma de mapeamento do atual uso da cultura pop como prática educativa. Desta forma busca-se entender se a cultura pop é relevante ou se seu conteúdo comercial e midiático faz com que os docentes fujam de sua utilização em sala de aula. Desta forma, este trabalho busca alternativas que possam ser propostas às aulas expositivas tradicionais, buscando uma modernização e aproximação do ensino à vivência do discente. Como resultado, foi possível perceber que mesmo que a cultura pop seja massificada e midiática, seu apelo como uma metodologia ativa tem grande potencial para auxiliar no ensino da língua inglesa, a partir de uma análise crítica de seu conteúdo feita pelo docente durante a elaboração de seu plano pedagógico.

Published: September 2023

The reproductive organs of rose-ringed parakeet (n= 6) were studied in
detail in this research work during breeding (December to April) and
non-breeding (May to November) seasons. After slaughtering, organs of
the reproductive system were collected for anatomical and histological
study. The right ovary and oviduct were absent, the left ovary and
oviduct were collected to record weight and dimensions (width, length,
diameter, and volume). The results showed a higher weight (1.08±0.116 g)
of the left ovary during the breeding and a decreased (0.069±0.015 g) in
the non-breeding season (P< 0.05). The length of the left
ovary during the breeding and non-breeding season was recorded as
(6.59±0.20 mm) and (5.75±0.12 mm). The width of the left ovary during
the breeding season and in non-breeding was recorded as (5.86±0.09 mm)
and (3.76±0.18 mm). The results showed maximum volume (0.05±0.003
cm) during the breeding season and a decrease in
volume (0.03±0.003 cm) in the non-breeding season in
the left ovary. A higher weight (1.21±0.13 g) of the left oviduct during
the breeding and a decreased (0.08±0.016 g) in the non-breeding season
was observed. The length of the oviduct during the breeding season was
(33.21±0.14 mm) and during non-breeding season as (30.23±0.29 mm). The
width of oviduct during breeding season was recorded as (1.12±0.01 mm)
and during in non-breeding season as (0.83±0.03 mm), respectively. Thus,
the ovary and oviduct have higher weights and dimensions during the
breeding season that correspond to breeding activity.

Published: September 2023

Despite belonging to the most abundant and widespread genus of
freshwater fishes in the region, the carp gudgeons of eastern Australia
(genus Hypseleotris) have proved taxonomically and ecologically
problematic to science since the 19th century. Several molecular studies
and a recent taxonomic revision have now shed light on the complex
biology and evolutionary history that underlies this group. These
studies have demonstrated that carp gudgeons include a sexual/unisexual
complex (five sexual species plus an assortment of hemiclonal lineages),
many members of which also co-occur with an independent sexual relative,
the western carp gudgeon (H. klunzingeri). Here we fill yet another
knowledge gap for this important group by presenting a detailed
molecular phylogeographic assessment of the western carp gudgeon across
its entire and extensive geographic range. We use a suite of nuclear
genetic markers (SNPs and allozymes) plus a matrilineal genealogy (cytb)
to demonstrate that H. klunzingeri s.l. also displays considerable
taxonomic and phylogeographic complexity. All molecular datasets concur
in recognizing the presence of multiple candidate species, two instances
of historic between-species admixture, and the existence of a natural
hybrid zone between two of the three candidate species found in the
Murray Darling Basin. We also discuss the major phylogeographic patterns
evident within each taxon. Together these analyses provide a robust
molecular, taxonomic, and distributional framework to underpin future
morphological and ecological investigations on this prominent member of
regional freshwater ecosystems in eastern Australia.

The development of high-performance organic solar cells (OSCs) with high
operational stability is essential to accelerate their
commercialization. Unfortunately, there is currently a lack of detailed
understanding of the origin of instabilities in state-of-the-art OSCs
based on bulk heterojunction (BHJ) featuring non-fullerene acceptors
(NFAs). Herein, we developed NFA-based OSCs using different charge
extraction interlayer materials and studied their storage, thermal, and
operational stabilities. Despite the high power conversion efficiency
(PCE) of the OSCs (17.54%), we found that cells featuring
self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) as hole-extraction interlayers
exhibited poor stability. The time required for these OSCs to reach 80%
of their initial performance (T80) was only 6 h under continuous thermal
stress at 85 °C in a nitrogen atmosphere and 1 h under maximum power
point tracking (MPPT) in a vacuum. Inserting MoOx between ITO and SAM
enhanced the T80 to 50 h and ~15 h after the thermal and
operational stability tests, respectively, while maintaining a PCE of
16.9%. Replacing the organic PDINN electron transport layer with ZnO
NPs further enhances the cells’ thermal and operational stability,
boosting the T80 to 1000 and 170 h, respectively. Our work reveals the
synergistic role of charge interlayers and device architecture in
developing efficient and stable OSCs.

Published: September 2023

Optimized catalytic properties and reactant adsorption energy play a
crucial role in promoting CO2 electrocatalysis. Herein, Cu7S4/Cu
undergoes in situ dynamic restructuring to generate S-Cu2O/Cu hybrid
catalyst for effective electrochemical CO2 reduction to formate that
outperforms Cu2O/Cu and Cu7S4. Thermodynamic and experimental analyses
reveal that the optimized adsorption of the HCOO* intermediate on
S-Cu2O/Cu is regulated and the H2 pathway (surface H) is suppressed by
S-doping. Meanwhile, Cu7S4/Cu nanoflowers create abundant grain
boundaries for ECR and strengthen the CO2 adsorption by inducing Cu.
These findings provide a new perspective on synthetic methods for
various electrocatalytic reduction processes.
Assessing the Impact of COVID-19 on Epidemiological Changes of Severe Paediatric Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Infections in Malaysia
Authors: CHAN CHEE MUN , Ali Adli , Wahab Asrul Abdul
Published: September 2023

Introduction Tropical seasonality of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
is one of the leading causes of hospitalization and mortality among
children with respiratory tract infections. The non-pharmaceutical
preventive measures implemented worldwide against Covid-19 may have also
reduced the transmission of RSV, hence altering its epidemiological
seasonality. However, with easing of Covid-19 restrictions, studies
reported a drastic rebound of cases due to poor protective immunity from
long-term reduced exposure to RSV. Thus, this is the first study to
evaluate the changes of RSV epidemiology before, during and after
Covid-19 pandemic in Malaysia. Methods We analyzed collated data from
2017 to 2022, involving 4084 children aged <12 years who were
admitted for severe respiratory infections requiring non-invasive
ventilation (NIV). Results Generally, we reported significant inverse
relationship between RSV and Covid-19 infections during the pandemic
(2020-2021) (p<0.05). In 2020, RSV positivity rate declined
sharply to 8.3% and 5.9%, respectively in the 2 prominent seasons.
Time series analysis showed a tremendous decrease in cases compared to
the expected values, with the first season (98.3%, CI 95%) and second
season (95.7%, CI 95%). However, with the lifting of the restriction
order in 2022, RSV infections rose sharply with a positivity rate of
36.3% which was higher than before Covid-19 pandemic. Conclusion This
study provides evidence of increasing RSV cases after Covid-19 pandemic
due to immunity debt. Hence, the healthcare system must be prepared to
deal with future RSV outbreaks with appropriate implementation of
prophylaxis and public health measures.
