Background: Sample size is the backbone of a scientific study/research in any field of science. It is mandatory at time of preparing proposal for a particular study. Large sample size is not needed and it is unethical also. Similarly, very too smaller sample is also. Materials and Methods: The adequate sample would be calculated either manually by using some formulae or using some existing statistical software like Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), Epi Info or online software with some conditions related to that study/research. Results: Previously existing literatures are not available then; sample size is to be determined based on pilot study in that region. In this article discuss about the sample size, its calculations, determine sample size we have to follow the conditions, knowledge to be needed at the time of calculating sample size, how much statistical power fix to a study, sample size and ethics, type-I and type-II errors, interpreting results of larger and smaller samples. Conclusion: From this article, I have concluded that a researcher has to write the proposal for his/her studies, find the appropriate parent/key article, finding the risk factors related to your studies, and the final step is to find the sample size with the help of a statistical expert. Then only proceed the study by the researchers. Keywords: sample size, proposal, statistical power, hypotheses, type-I and type-II errors, medical research
The Role of Gamification in Enhancing Students’ Motivation Toward Learning English in Jeddah Public Schools
Authors: Sahari Bander , Mahmud Fawaz Al
Published: October 2024

Entertaining strategies in education, such as the use of gamification, can turn learning English into an interesting and motivating experience. A number of studies in Saudi Arabia have explored gamification and the way it develops the different language abilities of students. However, limited research has been conducted concentration on the role of gamification in enhancing students’ motivation toward learning English in the context of public schools in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Hence, this quantitative study investigated from teachers’ and students’ points of view the role of gamification in enhancing students’ motivation. The participants in the study comprised a total of 409 teachers and students (155 teachers and 254 students). The study used two Google Form questionnaires and then analyzed the data using SPSS version 27. The findings of the study revealed that both teachers and students have positive feelings about the implementation of gamification considering it a beneficial instrument to increase students’ motivation in English language classrooms.

A Tangut Manuscript Fragment with a Description of the “Six Yogas” Tantric Practice. Preface, translation from the Tangut language and commentary
Authors: Bogdanov Kirill M.
Published: October 2024

This article presents a Russian translation, commentary and brief textual research of the Tangut manuscript (10th–13th centuries) describing a tantric practice possibly related to the doctrine of “Six Yogas” of the famous Indian tantric master Naropa. Since the handwriting of this manuscript is nearly illegible, I have published here only part of this text which is more or less comprehensible due to its general meaning and structural completeness. Considering the fact that research aimed at the identification of the original specific traits of Tangut Buddhism which make it distinct from the neighboring Buddhist traditions that had, in their time, a strong impact on its formation is a most important trend in this field, the publishing of this textual source could be helpful in this context.
Jan Kooiman (1931-2016): zijn leven en werk

Jan Kooiman (1931-2016): his life and work

The death of Andries Hoogerwerf (1931-2024) prompted us to inquire about the fortunes of one of the other pioneers in the Netherlands of (local) administrative sciences with a background in political science, also born in 1931, Jan Kooiman. There was nothing to be found about this on the Internet. Contact with people who knew him well revealed that he died on January 9, 2016. Jan Kooiman was editor-in-chief of our journal Bestuurswetenschappen (Administrative Sciences) between 1975 and 1992 (until 1990 together with the lawyer Jimmy Polak). Sufficient reason for us to pay attention to his life and work in this editorial. His influence is complementary to that of his contemporary Andries Hoogerwerf. While Hoogerwerf had a lot of influence nationally, Kooiman was particularly influential internationally as one of the founders of governance theory. Between 1975 and 1996 he was professor of Public Administration at the Interuniversity Institute of Business Administration in Delft and professor of Public Management at the Faculty of Business Administration at Erasmus University Rotterdam. His work clearly shows the development from governmental steering to interactive governance.
Coalitievorming op provinciaal niveau in een gefragmenteerd politiek landschap

Coalition building at provincial level in a fragmented political landscape

An election victory is no guarantee of a place in the executive board of a Dutch province, as populist parties such as SP, PVV and FVD show: after their respective election victories in 2007, 2011, and 2019, they hardly secured any board seats. In the years that these parties have been successful, there are few provincial boards that are a reflection of the provincial councils – boards where the seats of the provincial executive are divided proportionally on the basis of the seats of the council. Coalition formation at provincial level is studied by determining whether there is a board that is a reflection of the provincial council or a minimally winning coalition. The authors do this for all election years between 2007 and 2023. The data show that the rise of populist parties often leads to a decrease in boards that are a reflection of the provincial councils. The minimum winning coalition is a better explanation. The rise of BBB in 2023 shows that a party that opposes the board is still included in many executive boards. This seems to be the case because without BBB many parties are needed to form a majority council.
De instrumentalisering van het medebewind
Authors: Boogaard Geerten
Published: October 2024

The instrumentalisation of co-governance

The ‘step forward’, as stated by the Association of Dutch Municipalities (VNG) in its strategy for 2030, is the ultimate example of classic, organic relationships within public administration. The idea of the VNG is to reverse co-governance (‘medebewind’), because ‘municipalities identify social challenges and propose solutions themselves’. This relies on everyone’s independent development power. However, due to the instrumentalisation of co-governance by the government, the scope for creativity of the municipalities is becoming increasingly smaller. Redistribution of tasks and additional conditions are therefore necessary to prevent the VNG’s step forward from having, in retrospect, only accelerated the instrumentalisation of co-governance. In this essay the author (the current holder of the Thorbecke Chair in Leiden) analyses the implications of the instrumentalisation of co-governance. Without the correct constitutional conditions for organic relationships, a joint policy step forward may actually accelerate the instrumentalisation of co-governance. The VNG’s plans will soon only have to be included by the legislator in a national program and a target regulation. That is why, in addition to the content, the conditions must also be on the table, to prevent the VNG and the central government from playing chess on a completely different board.
Is meten nog wel weten? Commentaar op het meten van ‘Brede welvaart met inbegrip van de SDG’s’
Authors: Nelissen Nico
Published: October 2024

Does measuring still mean knowing? Commentary on measuring ‘Broad Welfare including the SDGs’

The concept of ‘Broad Welfare’, later known as ‘Broad Welfare including the SDGs’, has been given a more or less permanent place on the Dutch government’s policy agenda. It is seen as a good indicator of the state of the country when it comes to welfare in the broadest sense of the word: the well-being of citizens. Through fairly complex calculations, dozens of aspects of our existence are brought into figures, diagrams and cartograms, taking into account more than just economic values. The question, however, is whether all this measuring makes us much wiser, after all, is measuring still knowing? What people want to know is well-being, which cannot be measured in any other way. In this essay the author argues for a simpler way of measuring well-being, which can also easily be carried out by municipalities themselves. This method also forms a good basis for a municipal welfare policy. This can be done by asking citizens to assess their ‘life satisfaction’ and using this data for policy.

Conferencing for juvenile offenders

At the end of 2000, a pilot project began in Flanders (Belgium) to offer family group conferencing for juvenile offenders. Since June 2006, this restorative practice – together with victim-offender mediation – has been inserted in the new Youth Justice Act, making conferencing available in all judicial districts in Flanders. Five years later, however, the mediation-services had to conclude that the number of referrals for conferencing remains rather limited. This observation inspired the mediation services to take actions to bring conferencing more to the attention. This article reports on the findings of a study that was part of this process. Based on (1) an analysis of all conferencing-files that were referred between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 31, (2) focus groups with youth court social workers and criminologists working at the level of the public prosecutor and (3) surveys conducted with youth judges, the study aimed to identify and discuss barriers and obstacles within the current referral practice of conferencing in Flanders.

The supporting volunteer and conferencing

This article sketches an experiment initiated by a local mediation service in Flanders (BAL) with regard to the role of a supporting volunteer in the context of family group conferencing. Engaged as researchers in this experiment, the authors reconstruct the conceptual challenges of this project and the solution proposed by the team of mediators. One of these challenges revolves around finding an appropriative account of restorative justice that fits with the aims of the Belgian conferencing practice and clarifies the role of the supporting volunteer. Another comes down to distinguishing this role with the essential tasks of the moderator, and formulating deontological devices. In the last part of this contribution a few learning points are formulated with regard to the process and results of the experiment. One of these points is the need to rethink how successfully offering the possibility of engaging a supporting volunteer to the stake holding parties.

Published: October 2024

The purpose of the current study was to explore the effects of anxiety and depression on higher level students. The research was descriptive in nature, and to achieve the objectives of the study, a sample of three thousand four hundred and eighty higher level students was selected using stratified sampling technique. The data analysis statistics included both descriptive and inferential analysis. The findings reveal that anxiety and depression have a significant effect on university students, leading to poor academic performance. Moreover, males face higher levels of anxiety and depression as compared to females. This study recommends that teachers and parents should try to identify or understand if their child is going through any sort of mental discord. Teachers should act as role models for students to promote the importance of a content and calm mind and explain to them the importance of mental health.

Authors: Fatima Mahnoor , Anwar Behzad , Shahid Uswa
Published: October 2024

This study aims to analyze the variation in the placement of adverbials in the non-native variety of English i.e. Pakistani English. From the current pedagogical point of view, the placement of adverbials in Pakistani English is influenced both by the Pakistani languages itself and by local teaching practices. Identifying the diverse placement and position of adverbials in the different registers under consideration is the key issue that has been addressed in the present research. A corpus of Pakistani English newspapers, short stories and novels was compiled to analyze the variations in the use of adverbials in non-native contexts. AntConc software has been used to extract the adverbials. The extracted examples reflect the state of development and the degree of variation in Pakistan English. The results and findings of this study show that there are some changes in the placement of adverbial in Pakistani English as compared to British English. These differences point out the specificities and novelties that are the characteristics of Pakistani English. These positional differences show variation in style in Pakistani English in comparison to the norms of Standard English. This study contributes to the flow of knowledge about variation in English and maps out the distinct use of English in Pakistan.

Legal guarantees ensure access to education for deaf students, notably, based on some official documents (national/international) that encouraged the publication of specific laws on the educational process for deaf students, considering their differences and cultural identities, and thus the recognition of natural sign language as the language of instruction. This study analyzed several official documents and laws that provide support for the education of deaf students in Brazil, in light of studies dedicated to this educational practice under the theoretical contribution of authors such as Lage et al. (2020), Santos et al. (2015), Perlin and Souza (2015), Quadros et al. (2008), Lodi (2011), Perlin and Strobel (2008), Miorando (2006), Quadros and Schmiedt (2006), among others who are dedicated to the topic in question. The research is characterized as exploratory, from the point of view of its objective, bibliographical and documentary by its procedures. The results of the research showed that there are several legal guarantees and some effectiveness of these guarantees, but they still do not offer full access to teaching and learning in accordance with current legislation.

Kod vještačke obnove šuma prvi i najbitniji faktor jeste pravilan izbor vrste drveća koja će biti unesena na određeno stanište. Ako je ovaj korak učinjen ispravno, onda uz provedene ostale mjere, kao što su odabir kvalitetnog sadnog materijala, kvalitetna sadnja i stručno provedene mjere njege, konačni uspjeh neće izostati. Poznato je da su ekološki faktori primarni kada je u pitanju pojava određene vrste drveća na nekom području. S tim u vezi i izbor vrste drveća pri vještačkoj obnovi šuma limitiran je prvenstveno ekološkim faktorima staništa i ekologijom vrste koja se planira unositi na određeno područje. Smrča je borealni florni element, u Dinaridima na južnoj granici areala, vrsta hladnijih staništa, široko se koristi pri vještačkoj obnovi šuma, pošumljavanjem i na područjima gdje se prirodno ne javlja, niti joj staništa odgovaraju. U radu je analiziran uspjeh pošumljavanja smrčom na Zavidovićko-teslićkom području koje po ekološko-vegetacijskoj rejonizaciji Bosne i Hercegovine pripada oblasti unutrašnjih Dinarida. Ovdje se prirodno ova vrsta javlja na vrlo ograničenom prostoru, na mikroklimatski hladnijim položajima na peridotitu – serpentinitu ofiolitske zone u Bosni. Analiziran je uspjeh izvršenog pošumljavanja u jednom značajnom vremenskom periodu od 70 godina na “Krivajskom” šumskogospodarskom području, Gospodarska jedinica “Gostović”. U vremenu poslije Drugog svjetskog rata, pa i danas, u vremenskom razdoblju od 70 godina, vršeno je tzv. “očetinjavanje” listopadnih šuma, a pogotovo šuma bukve, kao i pomjeranje omjera smjese u mješovitim šumama u korist četinara. Na istraživanom području analizirani su obim, uspjeh i opravdanost ovih radova.

Effect of Polyethylene Glycol Concentration on the Structural and Mechanical Properties of Polysulfone-Based Membranes
Authors: Aprillianti Ranti Nur , Rahayu Maulida , Hardian Arie , Murniati Anceu
Published: October 2024

Water pollution in Indonesia is a growing concern, necessitating the development of advanced treatment technologies. Membrane-based filtration, a promising approach due to its low energy consumption and ability to preserve material properties, has been explored. Polysulfone (PSf), a commonly used membrane material, is known for its thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength. However, its hydrophobic nature limits its filtration performance. To enhance hydrophilicity and porosity, polyethylene glycol (PEG) is introduced as a hydrophilic additive. This study investigated the synthesis of PSf/PEG composite membranes with varying PEG concentrations (0%, 9%, and 14%) using the phase inversion method. Characterization of the membranes revealed that increasing PEG content led to thinner membranes with higher porosity, density, and swelling capacity. While Membrane-A (100% PSf) exhibited the highest tensile strength, Membrane-B (9% PEG) demonstrated the greatest elongation. SEM analysis confirmed that higher PEG concentrations resulted in larger and more numerous pores, forming asymmetric structures suitable for filtration. FTIR analysis verified the successful integration of PEG into the PSf matrix. The findings highlight the potential of PEG-modified PSf membranes for industrial wastewater treatment. The M-C membrane, containing 14% PEG, exhibited the highest swelling degree, indicating improved hydrophilicity and permeability. However, increased PEG content also led to decreased tensile strength. The optimized M-C membrane, with a density of 0.9906 g/cm³, a mass of 1.9249 g, and a thickness of 102 µm, meets the requirements for effective water treatment applications. This research contributes to the development of sustainable membrane technologies for environmental management in Indonesia. By addressing the limitations of PSf membranes, PSf/PEG composite membranes offer a promising solution to water pollution challenges in the region.

Published: October 2024

Enhanced Oil Recovery termasuk ke dalam metode pengangkatan minyak tertiary, yang bertujuan untuk memperbaiki efisiensi pendesakan dan penyapuan volumetrik. Pendekatan EOR sendiri bertujuan untuk mendorong perolehan minyak menggunakan energi dari luar reservoir.  Karakteristik minyak, batuan, dan air formasi memainkan peran penting dalam menentukan efektivitas metode EOR. Injeksi surfaktan tergolong menjadi salah satu teknik dalam Enhanced Oil Recovery pada reservoir dengan kandungan fluida dengan viskositas tinggi karena pengaplikasiaanya mampu menurunkan interfacial tension dan recovery yang dihasilkan relatif besar saat penyapuan pada minyak berat dibandingkan dengan injeksi air konvensional.  Tween 20 sebagai salah satu surfaktan sintetik mampu tetap stabil pada salinitas dan suhu yang rendah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kekompatibilitasan surfaktan dengan minyak ringan dalam salinitas 8000 ppm dan suhu 60?C.  Uji kompatibilitas meliputi dua pengujian, yaitu uji kestabilan larutan (aqueous stability) dan uji kelakuan fasa (phase behavior). Maka didapat hasil dari uji aqueous stability, yaitu semua konsentrasi larutan surfaktan Tween 20 memiliki fasa homogen yang menunjukan pada pengujian ini semua konsentrasi larutan kompatibel. Kemudian dilakukan pengujian phase behavior dan mendapatkan hasil pada larutan surfaktan tween 20 dengan konsentrasi 1% didapat emulsi fasa tengah sebesar 22,5%. Maka kesimpulan yang didapat dari penelitian ini adalah larutan surfaktan Tween 20 dengan konsentrasi 1% dianggap kompatibel dengan minyak ringan (39? API).  Larutan Surfaktan Tween 20 dengan konsentrasi 1% memiliki kestabilan emulsi yang paling baik sehingga berpotensi besar untuk menurunkan interfacial tension agar dapat meningkatkan perolehan minyak.

Robotic-supported Data Loss Detection in Android Applications
Authors: Freitas Davi , Miranda Breno , Iyoda Juliano
Published: October 2024

Smartphones have become integral to modern life due to their diverse applications. However, the development of applications for these devices faces significant challenges, primarily due to two factors: (i) the diverse hardware and operating system versions that require testing across multiple configurations; and (ii) the imperative activity of testing the smartphone in a non-invasive way (similar to an end-user interaction), which is expensive, tedious and error-prone as it is usually carried out manually. In this context, robotic automation has emerged as an effective solution for addressing the diversity of smartphone systems and versions, and in performing some testing tasks non-invasively. In addition, automated robots facilitate quick, accurate, and repetitive testing, thus enabling developers to validate their applications across various configurations effectively. This results in a less invasive verification and in a significant reduction in time spent on manual testing, thus accelerating the development cycle. Our work proposes R-DLD (Robotic-supported Data Loss Detection), a robot-assisted infrastructure for data loss detection in Android applications, offering less invasive and more realistic tests by interacting directly with smartphone sensors. The robot is constructed using cost-effective materials, facilitating its adoption in testing environments. In our empirical evaluation R-DLD successfully identified 341 data loss issues in 77 randomly selected apps from an Android store. All reported bugs received responses from the developer, with 89.55% confirming the data loss problems, while 35.82% have being subsequently fixed.

Published: October 2024

Detecting code smells through machine learning (ML) poses challenges due to its unbalanced nature and potential interpretation bias. While previous studies focused on severity tended to categorize code smell’s specific types, this research aims to detect and classify code smell severity in a single dataset containing instances of code smells of four distinct types: God-class, Data-Class, Feature-Envy, and Long-Method. This study also explores the impact of applying data scaling, feature selection techniques, and ensemble methods to enhance ML models for the purpose above. The evaluation of two ensemble models on a combined dataset reveals that using data standardization techniques, ensemble methods, and Chi-square outperforms the result of other ensemble combinations, achieving 81.04% and 81.41% accuracy in the XGBoost and CatBoost models. Additionally, the CatBoost algorithm attains the highest accuracy at 80.67%, even without data preprocessing. Comparatively with the state-of-the-art, the results obtained, an accuracy of 85%, by the proposed approach in detecting the severity of code smells are promising and suggest improvements in approaches and techniques to enhance the effectiveness and reliability of models in real-world scenarios.

Incorporating Machine Learning (ML) into existing systems is a demand that has grown among several organizations. However, the development of ML-enabled systems encompasses several social and technical challenges, which must be addressed by actors with different fields of expertise working together. This paper has the objective of understanding how to enhance the collaboration between two key actors in building these systems: software engineers and data scientists. We conducted two focus group sessions with experienced data scientists and software engineers working on real-world ML-enabled systems to assess the relevance of different recommendations for specific technical tasks. Our research has found that collaboration between these actors is important for effectively developing ML-enabled systems, especially when defining data access and ML model deployment. Participants provided concrete examples of how recommendations depicted in the literature can benefit collaboration during different tasks. For example, defining clear responsibilities for each team member and creating concise documentation can improve communication and overall performance. Our study contributes to a better understanding of how to foster effective collaboration between software engineers and data scientists creating ML-enabled systems.
