Authors: Matasik Ade Lisa , Palimbong Stefani Marina , Panggalo Iindarda Sakung
Published: September 2022

The traditional rambu tuka’ and rambu solo’ events are inseparable from the life of the Toraja people. In this traditional event, livestock such as pigs and buffalo are usually slaughtered. Due to the slaughter of animals in traditional events, a slaughterhouse levy is imposed following Regional Regulation No. 15 of 2011. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the existing RPH levy collection and to design a unique mechanism for traditional events based on applying basic principles in taxation and the internal control system (SPI) in the revenue accounting field system. This study uses descriptive qualitative research by conducting direct observations and interviews. The location of the research will be at the Regional Revenue, Financial, and Asset Management Office (DPPKAD) and the location of traditional events in North Toraja Regency. The primary data are the observations and interview results, secondary data, related rules, and other supporting documents. The results of this study indicate that the mechanism for collecting Slaughterhouse levies is quite good, but there are still some things that still need attention, especially those related to the levy principle and the internal control system in the revenue accounting system.

Published: September 2022

The banana cultivar “Pisang Rejang” (Musa AA “Pisang Rejang”) is Fusarium wilt resistant and therefore important for banana breeding. Tetraploid (4x) and mixoploid (2x+4x) plants of this cultivar have been induced with oryzalin, and crosses of these two ploidy levels resulted in a triploid hybrid (3x) plant. The availability of these various ploidy levels needs to be accompanied by data on their reproductive biology for their efficient utilization for breeding. This study characterized male flowers concerning qualitative and quantitative morphology, pollen viability, pollen size, nectar volume, nectar Brix index, and acidity level of those different ploidy levels. Observations indicated no differences in qualitative morphological traits, such as, shape and color, but for quantitative morphological traits, such as, size, distinction existed among the different ploidy levels. The triploid plant has huge flower parts in all the quantitative morphological traits, except compound tepal width, followed by the tetraploid, diploid, and mixoploid. Variations also occurred in pollen viability, pollen size, and nectar characters from each level of ploidy. Pollen viability is the highest for the diploid plant, while the tetraploid plant produces bigger pollen than the diploid. The triploid plant produced a low percentage of viable pollen. The study findings indicate that ploidy level affects the flower's quantitative morphological characteristics, pollen viability, and pollen size, but not the flower's qualitative morphological characteristics.

Torch ginger – bak-kala (Etlingera elatior (Jack) R.M.SM.) already has been proven an effective traditional medicine by tribes in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Solid primary evidence for the torch ginger, bak-kala’s medicinal properties include the healing effects experienced by the traditional tribes in Aceh, when treated for illnesses, such as, cough, fever, and sprains. Likewise, it has been proven to be a use for food ingredients, i.e., vegetables and spices to enhance the taste of food. Much of the available documented information focused on its biochemical and pharmacological aspects. Even though the utilization of bak-kala resources is mainly at the level of diversity, there is no information on its genetic diversity in Aceh. The high intensity of bak-kala utilization is not simultaneous with information on its genetic diversity. On the other hand, many uses of bak-kala are specific for certain accessions with particular benefits. The study aimed to create a classification system for bak-kala variations based on inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers and to provide information on the genetic diversity of bak-kala in Aceh Province. The 35 accessions were divided into eight populations based on the geographical locations from which they were collected. Data were recorded and analyzed using 10 ISSR primers with 77 total bands. The molecular characters divided the accessions into four major groups. As revealed by expected heterozygosity (He), genetic variability among the population showed that the Simeulu population possessed a greater level of variability than other populations. The results of the analysis of molecular variation (AMOVA) showed that the genetic variation within the population was higher (60%) than the genetic variation among populations (40%). The studies can be used to plan conservation strategies, optimal utilization of the species, and crop improvement programs in the future.

Black gram (Vigna mungo) is a principal pulse crop worldwide. The research aimed to screen the genetic diversity among 10 black gram genotypes using biometrical tools, such as, genotypic and phenotypic correlation, path coefficient analysis, and heritability and genetic gain. The highest genotypic and phenotypic variability resulted from pods per plant, plant height, primary branches, and seeds per pod. The study recorded very low estimated heritability for all the studied traits. The correlation coefficient indicated that seed yield per plant showed a positive and significant correlation with pods per plant and pod length, indicating that further use of these characteristics can improve the black gram yield. Path coefficient analysis revealed a positive and direct effect on seed yield per plant with plant height, days to 50% flowering, primary branches, branch length, pod per plant, and seeds per pod. These traits proved relevant for the direct selection criteria and future breeding programs. The investigation results can be very helpful in selecting the black gram's suitable genotypes with appropriate yield for cultivation in rainfed conditions of Poonch Rawalakot, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan.

Genetic variability is essential in plant breeding for crop adaptation in a specific environment, enhancing yield potential, creating resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, improving quality attributes, and most importantly, selecting desirable and better parents for hybridization programs. The study was designed to ascertain the genotypic diversity of 54 accessions of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea). The study evaluated these accessions/genotypes for 13 different traits (morphological, yield, and oil quality) under the rainfed climate of Pakistan. Significant differences were observed for all studied traits. Likewise, significant difference in the percent coefficient of variability (CV%) was also found for these traits. The research included classifying the genotypes further into six different clusters using the Ward method. Principal component analysis was performed that showed variability in components for different traits. The first five principal components (PCs) showed an eigenvalue of more than one that contributed about 71.83% of the total observed variation. Major characters accounted for by PC1 included pod weight per plant, grain weight per plant, and the number of pods per plant. PC2 positively contributed to oleic acid and shelling percentage, PC3 contributed positively to dry pod yield, plant height, and days to flower initiation, and PC4 contributed for days to 50% flowering, the number of pods per plant, and dry pod yield. These data on genotypic diversity for studied traits in the recent investigation will help breed new groundnut lines to strengthen germplasm sources for cultivar development in rainfed areas of Pakistan.

Apesar disso, os ambientes de aprendizagem virtuais e as plataformas de ensino online tornaram-se importantes para os processos pedagógicos bem como para saúde pública em tempos de pandemia.
NARRATIVAS DOS SONHOS POSSÍVEIS
Authors: Gomes da Silva Aline
Published: September 2022

Devido a pandemia da COVID-19, sem tempo suficiente para se prepararem, alunos e professores deixaram a sala de aula para vivenciar uma experiência de aprendizagem remota. A fim de compreender como tem ocorrido esse processo de ensino-aprendizagem, foram entrevistados 26 alunos(as) de 17 e 18 anos de idade, atualmente matriculados no terceiro ano do ensino médio de uma escola pública. Com esse estudo de caso, pretende-se apresentar os desafios enfrentados pelos participantes nessa modalidade de ensino perante ao isolamento social e ao uso das Novas Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (NTICs), as quais tornaram-se instrumentos indispensáveis na atualidade. Para gerar os dados, utilizou-se o instrumento “Questionário” por ele conceder ao participante a oportunidade de explorar sua subjetividade em suas respostas, cabendo a ele decidir o que e como respondê-lo. Por sua vez, para realizar-se a análise dos dados, recorreu-se às obras freirianas como apoio teórico. Acredita-se que os estudos de Paulo Freire dialogam como esse porque o autor defende uma pedagogia que abraça os oprimidos, estimula a autonomia e oferta esperança àqueles que, muitas vezes, são silenciados pela intolerância à diversidade e pela alienação. Espera-se que esse estudo seja um meio de reflexão sobre o ato de ensinar, considerando que o ensino exige vários fatores internos e externos, tais como: respeito aos saberes dos educandos, rejeição a qualquer forma de discriminação, disponibilidade para o diálogo e, acima de tudo, a convicção de que a mudança é possível.

Published: September 2022

O distanciamento social, medida de combate à Pandemia causada pela COVID-19, intensificou o uso de meios digitais em diversas áreas de trabalho. Nos sistemas de ensino foi necessário adequar as estratégias e metodologias à nova realidade de professores, estudantes e práticas pedagógicas. Essas adaptações ampliaram as possibilidades de práticas pedagógicas, exigindo que novas competências sejam consideradas na formação dos professores que atuam nestes contextos e a partir destes contextos. O objetivo do presente artigo é problematizar a influência da base epistemológica na reconfiguração dos saberes e das práticas pedagógicas e os modos como ela pode afetar a reestruturação da formação docente. Essa discussão foi implementada em três momentos: (1) pela análise de aspectos metodológicos e dos usos dos recursos tecnológicos necessários a reformulação da mediação pedagógica nos contextos de Pandemia; (2) pela tematização dos processos de constituição do protagonismo discente, como consequência da descentralização do papel do professor advindo destas modalidades de ensino; (3) e pela apresentação do paradigma da cultura maker, como um movimento epistemológico diferenciado dos processos tradicionais de ensino, e suas repercussões na reconfiguração da formação e da mediação docente. Como resultado deste estudo destaca-se que o redesenho das questões metodológicas deve apoiar-se em outra perspectiva epistemológica orientada pela cultura maker, a partir da proposição do protagonismo discente como elemento de inovação pedagógica orientador da reconfiguração da formação docente.
INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUES IN COVID-19

Published: September 2022

This paper explores how conversations about digital culture, innovation, and online pedagogy can inform practices accentuated during the pandemic. The immediatism adopted by universities around the world due to the urgency of lockdowns is problematic in many ways. Firstly, the little time to switch to an online environment, advance online delivery, and ensure assessment is undeniable. Second, the extent to which universities were at different levels of digitally ready infrastructure and related staff and students’ development, training, and readiness to learn and teach remotely is also challenging. However, research shows the important role of digital culture in pedagogical choices inside the classroom, as much as it considers how individuals cope with technological innovation in their daily online practices. From a Freirean perspective, pedagogy is reflective and transformative and online pedagogies can reconceptualize knowledge and practice, minimize physical and intangible spaces, and redefine time, constructing new ecologies of learning for an inclusive pedagogy. This paper addresses the above by presenting data from interviews with instructors, administrative staff, and students at three universities in Brazil, Canada, and the UK. This qualitative study uses intercultural concepts of pedagogical innovation, and how participants have adapted their practices in digital culture. We further explore the pedagogical implications of their attitudes towards online learning, the reconstruction of their self-awareness, and aim at corroborating future comprehensions on how COVID-19 will impact higher education. This paper is timely in problematizing concepts that are important to understanding and dealing with digital culture, innovation, and online pedagogies in learning contexts post-COVID.

Published: September 2022

Neste trabalho buscamos responder, através de um estudo de caso específico, a seguinte questão “Quais as implicações resultantes da experiência docente com as Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e Comunicação (TDIC), no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19?”. Para isso, foi construído e aplicado um questionário de caráter qualitativo e quantitativo, através da ferramenta Google Forms, a um grupo de professores de uma escola pública municipal da cidade de Lorena, Estado de São Paulo. Adotamos como base metodológica desta pesquisa o raciocínio indutivo, encontrado em Francis Bacon. A análise das respostas do grupo de professores foi realizada à luz do pensamento educacional de John Dewey e de autores relacionados ao uso das tecnologias digitais no ensino brasileiro, a saber, Lilian Bacich, José Moran, Josiane B. Cani e Dinamara P. Machado. Através dos resultados obtidos concluímos que, no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19, esses profissionais enfrentaram desafios pedagógicos, financeiros e psicológicos. Venceram os obstáculos por esforço quase que exclusivamente próprio, pois muitas das vezes se viram sós, em situações adversas do trabalho. Além disso, percebemos que quando se trata do uso das TDIC no ambiente escolar, há problemas graves na formação dos professores e nos recursos das instituições educacionais, principalmente, por falta de investimento e criação de políticas públicas efetivas.

This study focuses on relations between archaeology as a specialized field of translation and Translation Studies as an interdisciplinary area and draws a framework for a preliminary lesson plan in terminology translation practice through a text that will allow Translation Studies students to get acquainted with term translation strategies in a specialized translation course on archaeology. This study consists of three parts. In the first part, interdisciplinary aspects of translation studies are analyzed from the perspective of different turns in translation research. In the second part, approaches to archaeology texts in translation studies and thoughts on translation practice in this field are brought forward, while the potential uses of a text in archaeology for a specialized translation course are evaluated in the third part. In the study, it has been concluded that background knowledge and terminology translation practice in archaeology texts have the potentials to improve students’ awareness with regards to translation of other specialized texts and to enhance their perspectives on other cultures in the world.
A vueltas con la (no) obligatoriedad) de facilitar un correo personal a la empresa para asuntos laborales (y sobre el acceso de la representación sindical a los correos).
Authors: Rojo Torrecilla Eduardo
Published: September 2022

El litigio versa sobre la conformidad o no a derecho de la decisión empresarial de solicitar al personal que pusiera a su disposición un correo electrónico personal para mantener las relaciones de trabajo durante la situación de crisis sanitaria, y que se mantuvo bastante tiempo después. La pretensión de las organizaciones sindicales demandantes de declaración de nulidad de tal decisión es estimada por la AN, basándose en la normativa laboral aplicable, en la de protección de datos, y también en la jurisprudencia ya existente del TS sobre esta cuestión, al haberse dictado sentencias en los mismos, o muy parecidos, términos, que los que ahora se recogen en la resolución judicial de la AN.

The litigation deals with the conformity or not to the law of the business decision to request the staff to make a personal email available to them to maintain working relationships during the health crisis, and which was maintained for a long time afterwards. The claim of the trade union organizations requesting a declaration of nullity of such decision is estimated by the AN, based on the applicable labor regulations, on data protection, and also on the already existing jurisprudence of the Supreme Court on this matter, having issued sentences in the same, or very similar, terms, than those that are now included in the judicial resolution of the AN.

Published: September 2022

Lack of understanding in selecting age-appropriate protein levels in the tilapia diet would result in low growth and productivity. Therefore, the effect of dietary protein levels on tilapia development and the productive potential of fry raised in concrete ponds according to the CRD experimental protocol was investigated using three treatments with four replications. Fifteen breeder fish/ponds with a male-to-female ratio of 1:2 were fed with 15.5, 25, and 30% protein for 20 weeks. The water quality was monitored and the fish's mouth was tapped every 2 weeks. The results showed that feeding of 25% protein affected egg development at all stages (Zygote, Cleavage, Gastrula, Segmentation, Pharyngula, Hatching, Early larva, and Late larva) as well as production cost better than other feeds (p<0.05). Breeders fed 30% protein had a higher average weight, specific growth rate, condition factor, and feed efficiency but the lowest feed intake, feed rate, and feed conversion rate (p<0.05). A 25% protein diet provides adequate nutrition for hatching and fries production while keeping the pond water safe for their lives.

Published: September 2022

The W UMa type of the eclipsing binary system YY Eri was observed by using a 0.7-meter telescope with a CCD photometric system in B, V, and R filters at the Regional Observatory for the Public, Chachoengsao, Thailand, on 5 December 2018, from 12:30 PM to 10:00 PM, UT. The obtained data were calculated using the photometry method to construct the light curve of each wavelength band and determine the minimum time. HJD 2458458.306 and HJD 2458458.144 are the minimum time of the primary and secondary eclipse, respectively. The data were used to plot the O-C curve. The upward parabolic curve means the period increases at the rate of 4.57× 10-3 seconds/year. The sinusoidal curve suggests that YY Eri might have a third body which is located at a distance of about 3.45 AU from the center of mass with an orbital period of 68.6 years.

Published: September 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic heavily impacted the people everyday lives including traveling. Travelers had to adjust with the new normal of traveling which changed their perception in travel decision-making. This study determined the perception of Tourism students on travel decision-making during the pandemic. The existing changes demonstrated by previous studies were analyzed by determining the effects of COVID-19 on the decision-making of young travelers based on their perception of traveling during the pandemic. The study adapted the concept of Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs following the basic needs stated, which are physiological, safety, and love & belongingness needs. Moreover, this study utilized a descriptive method with a quantitative approach using simple-random sampling. A 4-point Likert scale survey was used for the data gathering tool and the statistical treatments were Analysis of Variance and T-test. The validation process was assisted by tourism professionals from the locale of the study. The results of the study depicted that there were significant differences in the perception on love and belongingness needs, and in the overall perception on travel decision-making between male and female respondents. There was also a significant difference between the 18-21 years and 22-25 years age groups regarding safety needs. On the contrary, there were no significant differences between male and female respondents’ perceptions regarding their physiological and safety needs in terms of travel decision-making; and no significant differences were found among physiological needs, love & belongingness needs, and overall perception on travel decision-making between the 18-21 years and 22-25 years age. The researchers recommended replication of this study and utilization of the conceptual framework. Finally, based on the results and conclusions, coordination with existing Tourism sectors such as transportation, lodging, food and beverage, recreation and entertainment, and travel services that implement proper preventive COVID-19 measures was implied by the researchers.

Fusarium isolates from highland areas in Malaysia were mostly recovered from two species of grasses, Elyhordeum montanense and Paspalum conjugatum. The isolates were grouped into four morphological groups.  Based on TEF-1α sequences, morphotype 1 isolates were molecularly identified as F. graminearum species complex, morphotype 2 as F. venenatum, morphotype 3 as F. avenaceum and morphotype 4 as F. kyushuense.   Restriction analysis of the Intergenic Spacer region showed high levels of genetic diversity of isolates in F. graminearum species complex and F. venenatum. For mycotoxin analysis, only F. avenaceum and F. kyushuense produced beauvericin and moniliformin (0.869 & 0.321 µg/kg, respectively). Zearalenone was produced by 32 isolates of F. graminearum species complex (0.002 – 0.437 µg/kg), two isolates of F. venenatum (0.006 - 0.014 µg/kg) and F. kyushuense  (0.006 µg/kg). Only F. avenaceum isolate produced fumonisin B1 (0.001 µg/kg).  The present study indicates the occurrence of Fusarium species commonly reported in highland areas in Malaysia where the weather is cooler and the temperature is lower than in the lowland areas. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the occurrence of phylogenetic species within F. graminearum species complex, F. venenatum, F. avenaceum and F. kyushuense in Malaysia.

Sumatran elephant (Elephas maximus sumatranus Temminck, 1847) is one of the Asian elephant sub-species distributed in Sumatera Island and classified as endangered species due to hunting and high habitat fragmentation. This study aimed to analyze the genetic relationship of Sumatran elephants based on the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (Cyt b). Blood samples were collected from 11 elephants in Seblat Natural Ecotourism Park. Based on mt-DNA Cytochrome b gene analysis, low genetic diversity was found in the Sumatran elephant population, indicated by 99-100% sequence similarity among elephant samples. Phylogenetic analysis showed that all elephants were in the same clade and has a close relationship with Borneo elephants. Additionally, the Median-joining network illustrated only two haplotypes in the Sumatran elephant population. The low genetic diversity of the Sumatran elephant indicates that a strategic breeding program should be seriously taken into account to prevent the Sumatran elephant from extinction.

Parasitic gastroenteritis (PGE) is a significant disease that affects small ruminant production. PGE is controlled exclusively by chemical anthelmintics but restricted by anthelmintic resistance. Hence, dependence on anthelmintics needs to be reduced. This study aimed to investigate the anthelmintic resistance status of a Dorper sheep farm while determining the phenotypic markers of resistance to PGE. Sheep that met the criteria of the Faecal Egg Count Reduction Test (FECRT) were divided into a control and four treatment groups of 11 to 13 animals per group. Faecal and blood samples at pre- and post-treatments were subjected to faecal egg counts (FEC), faecal culture, packed cell volume (PCV) and peripheral eosinophil counts (PEC). The data were analysed by Spearman rank correlation and two-way ANOVA. FECRT showed resistance towards albendazole, levamisole, fenbendazole and ivermectin which was predominated by Haemonchus contortus. Significant negative correlations were observed between FEC and PCV in control (r=-0.88, p<0.01), fenbendazole (r=-0.58, p<0.01) and ivermectin (r=-0.69, p<0.01) groups. Significant positive correlations were detected between FEC and PEC in control (r=0.95, p<0.01) and levamisole (r=0.56, p<0.01) groups. This study shows multiple anthelmintic resistance with promising resistant characteristics against PGE among sheep.

The increase in sedentary activity among older adults could result in lowering bone mineral density (BMD), thus increasing the risk of osteoporosis. Physical activity and adequate dietary calcium intake (DCI) are important to optimize bone health. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine ethnic differences in bone health status (BHS) and to investigate the association between lifestyle factors and BHS among Malaysian older adults. A total of 120 older adults aged between 60 to 84 years old of three major ethnicities residing in Bangi and Kajang, Selangor, Malaysia were recruited in this cross-sectional study. They were asked to fill out food frequency questionnaire and the international physical activity questionnaires for the quantification of DCI and physical activity level (PAL) assessments. BMD was quantified using QUS-2 Calcaneal Ultrasonometer. The results showed that the Chinese participants had significantly lower body mass index (BMI) (p<0.001) than their counterparts. Malay participants had significantly higher DCI (p=0.027) compared to other groups. However, none of the participants met the recommended daily intake of calcium (1000 mg/day). The Indian participants had significantly higher (p=0.007) PAL compared to the Malay and Chinese groups. BMD analysis showed that the Chinese have significantly lower (p=0.001) T-scores (-0.54 ± 1.35) compared to Malay (0.78 ± 1.72) and Indian (0.61 ± 1.91), respectively. BMI and DCI were positively correlated with BMD (correlation coefficient, r= 0.320, p<0.001; r=0.383, p<0.001, respectively). In conclusion, the reduced BMI among the Chinese and DCI among all Malaysian older adults need to be concerned and addressed immediately. Future intervention programs should be focusing on optimizing DCI, not only among the older adults but should be emphasized and initiated at younger ages to prevent osteoporosis during old age.

Totalitarian Dystopian Society as Depicted in Margaret Atwood’s the Handmaid’s Tale and the Testaments
Authors: G Shanmugi
Published: September 2022

A society which has no trace of any happiness is considered a dystopian society. People in dystopian societies are tormented and have no freedom to live in that society. The totalitarian regime oppresses the citizens and seizes their fundamental rights in society. Beneath this government, the political system seems to be tyrannical, dictatorial, and vulnerable. The government in power keeps the people under control through educational and religious institutions. Especially, women suffer the most. Women are kept under control by men, especially men in power. This type of totalitarian dystopian society is seen in Margaret Atwood’s novels “The Handmaid’s Tale” (1985) and “The Testaments” (2019). The objective of this paper is to analyse the totalitarian system and dystopian society concerning the situations portrayed in these novels.

Authors: Alhoussawi Hussain
Published: September 2022

This study reports the findings of a mixed method critical study of non-native university English language teachers’ perceptions about cultural values and traditions represented in North Star English course book (advanced level), published by Pearson. The sample consisted of 35 male teachers who had experienced teaching the course book under investigation used at an English language institute in one of a Saudi Arabian university. In this study, a combined dataset questionnaire was used to collect data. Findings revealed that the participants had a negative perception towards the cultural models and traditions represented in the course book. More specifically, they were not adequately designed to suit the Saudi cultural background, local cultural norms and traditions. Moreover, the participants indicated that the course book failed to embody the international cultures of English speakers. The study recommends adopting new cultural policies which consider incorporating both the local as well as international cultures and traditions of speakers of English.

Background: Social mapping, though an old approach in public health education and research, not practiced much in nursing education. This study was conducted to describe the social mapping process in a semi-urban area in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh in India and to describe the implications of such social mapping from the students' perspective.
Methods: This participatory rural appraisal was conducted for the Bachelor of Nursing Students in a semi-urban settlement in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India. The social mapping process was conducted in three broad steps- classroom-based teaching of social mapping, conducting social mapping in the community and a debriefing session with the students. The major outcome of this educational activity was the social map. In addition, we also came up with the students’ implications through group discussion.
Results: A facility map was constructed by the community members which was replicated by the teachers. The map was triangulated by the teachers through a transect walk in that area. The students came out with various academic, clinical, and administrative implications from this educational session.
Conclusion: Social mapping can be used as a potential tool in nursing education. More evidence is required on this learning approach before recommending it in the Community Nursing curriculum.
