Authors: Novita Sari Risqi , In'am Akhsanul 
Published: November 2023

The objectives of this present research are as follows: 1) to analyze students' errors in solving the relations and functions problems, and 2) to describe students' misconceptions of the relations and functions materials. A descriptive qualitative approach was adopted. The data source was 23 students of the grade VIII-A MTs Muhammadiyah Malang Indonesia. The data investigated were the students’ errors and misconceptions of the Relations and Functions materials. In this research, the subjects were determined using a purposive technique where 6 students were chosen. They were divided into three categories, namely students with high, low, and low abilities, where each category consists of two students. Two techniques of data collection were employed: 1) administration of written tests to students; and 2) interviews. The technique used in the data analysis was Miles and Huberman’s model analysis. The research results showed that: 1) the subjects with high ability less properly stated a relation or a function in the form of an arrow diagram and demonstrated some misconceptions in giving examples of functions and non-function; 2) the subjects with low ability less accurately proved a relation and a function in the form of an arrow diagram, did not state the form of a sequential pair and showed technical and principal errors. And 3) subjects with low ability had all types of errors.

Published: November 2023

Students must master their critical thinking ability because it is the basis for analyzing arguments so that they can develop a reasonable mindset. In addition, the critical thinking ability to speak English is also an important thing that students must possess to face the globalization era. In its development, literacy culture has become one of the skills of the 21st century. One way to improve literacy is to understand English journals for reference needs for the preparation of scientific papers in universities. Therefore, this study aims to examine students' critical thinking skills in understanding English journals in the Biology Education seminar course. This is a case study at the private universities in the city of Bandung involving 60 students in biology education. Students are given the task of reading independently from a journal. Data collection in this study was obtained from student reports in the form of PowerPoint, assessment results, and observations. Data analysis is carried out with stages of data validity, data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The study results showed that students' critical thinking skills in understanding English journals can be developed by integrating them into course assignments.

Abstract. As a key biogeochemical pathway in the marine nitrogen cycle, nitrification (ammonia oxidation and nitrite oxidation) converts the most reduced form of nitrogen – ammonium–ammonia (NH4+–NH3) – into the oxidized species nitrite (NO2-) and nitrate (NO3-). In the ocean, these processes are mainly performed by ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB). By transforming nitrogen speciation and providing substrates for nitrogen removal, nitrification affects microbial community structure; marine productivity (including chemoautotrophic carbon fixation); and the production of a powerful greenhouse gas, nitrous oxide (N2O). Nitrification is hypothesized to be regulated by temperature, oxygen, light, substrate concentration, substrate flux, pH and other environmental factors. Although the number of field observations from various oceanic regions has increased considerably over the last few decades, a global synthesis is lacking, and understanding how environmental factors control nitrification remains elusive. Therefore, we have compiled a database of nitrification rates and nitrifier abundance in the global ocean from published literature and unpublished datasets. This database includes 2393 and 1006 measurements of ammonia oxidation and nitrite oxidation rates and 2242 and 631 quantifications of ammonia oxidizers and nitrite oxidizers, respectively. This community effort confirms and enhances our understanding of the spatial distribution of nitrification and nitrifiers and their corresponding drivers such as the important role of substrate concentration in controlling nitrification rates and nitrifier abundance. Some conundrums are also revealed, including the inconsistent observations of light limitation and high rates of nitrite oxidation reported from anoxic waters. This database can be used to constrain the distribution of marine nitrification, to evaluate and improve biogeochemical models of nitrification, and to quantify the impact of nitrification on ecosystem functions like marine productivity and N2O production. This database additionally sets a baseline for comparison with future observations and guides future exploration (e.g., measurements in the poorly sampled regions such as the Indian Ocean and method comparison and/or standardization). The database is publicly available at the Zenodo repository: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8355912 (Tang et al., 2023).

Abstract. Probability density functions (PDFs) provide information about the probability of a random variable taking on a specific value. In geoscience, data distributions are often expressed by a parametric estimation of their PDF, such as, for example, a Gaussian distribution. At present there is growing attention towards the analysis of non-parametric estimation of PDFs, where no prior assumptions about the type of PDF are required. A common tool for such non-parametric estimation is a kernel density estimator (KDE). Existing KDEs are valuable but problematic because of the difficulty of objectively specifying optimal bandwidths for the individual kernels. In this study, we designed and developed a new implementation of a diffusion-based KDE as an open source Python tool to make diffusion-based KDE accessible for general use. Our new diffusion-based KDE provides (1) consistency at the boundaries, (2) better resolution of multimodal data, and (3) a family of KDEs with different smoothing intensities. We demonstrate our tool on artificial data with multiple and boundary-close modes and on real marine biogeochemical data, and compare our results against other popular KDE methods. We also provide an example for how our approach can be efficiently utilized for the derivation of plankton size spectra in ecological research. Our estimator is able to detect relevant multiple modes and it resolves modes that are located closely to a boundary of the observed data interval. Furthermore, our approach produces a smooth graph that is robust to noise and outliers. The convergence rate is comparable to that of the Gaussian estimator, but with a generally smaller error. This is most notable for small data sets with up to around 5000 data points. We discuss the general applicability and advantages of such KDEs for data–model comparison in geoscience.
La acción sin daño y los proyectos de desarrollo: una alternativa práctica de triple nexo
Authors: Langa Herrero Alfredo , Rey Marcos Francisco 
Published: November 2023

El reto que presenta el actual escenario de conflictos armados y de otras situaciones de violencia con consecuencias similares, unido a la situación provocada por la incidencia de la COVID-19 suponen un importante desafío para la cooperación internacional. Por ello, es fundamental que desde las organizaciones de cooperación y la academia se fomenten el uso de metodologías de gestión de proyectos que sean sensibles a las situaciones de conflicto e interioricen la complejidad de las realidades que pretenden cambiar. De esta manera, las lógicas dominantes en la planificación de proyectos usadas actualmente basadas en el Enfoque de Marco Lógico (EML), el enfoque de resultados o la teoría del cambio han de evolucionar hacia metodologías que vinculen la dimensión de los derechos humanos y el impacto que sobre ellos tienen los escenarios de violencia. Más aun, teniendo en cuenta que desde diversos agentes de acción humanitaria y cooperación internacional se está planteando la necesidad de incorporar un triple nexo entre la acción humanitaria, el desarrollo y la construcción de la paz. Por ende, dicha relación se antoja difícil si no se articulan metodologías concretas y prácticas que las integren.
Para ello, este artículo ofrece una alternativas de metodología que sea sensibles al conflicto y posibilite la aplicación práctica del triple nexo. Con ello, no se pretende solo asegurar el logro de los objetivos y resultados de los proyectos, sino garantizar que su diseño esté en sintonía con las realidades que pretenden mejorar y con el desarrollo que se quiere alcanzar. Solo así será posible vincular las iniciativas de acción humanitaria con los proyectos de desarrollo y las actividades de construcción de la paz, en un contexto tan complejo y cambiante como el actual.
