Abstract

Objective
To investigate how the blood flow analysis changes by varying the radiation dose of gastric perfusion CT (PCT) and to prove that a low-radiation dose of PCT is feasible.

Methods
5 Beagle dogs were used in a crossover study with 6 groups of varying radiation doses. Iodixanol was IV administered at 3.0 mL/s, and cine CT was performed for 120 seconds. Blood flow maps were obtained from the acquired images using the maximum slope method.

Results
Significant differences in blood flow were observed between 80 kV at 50 mA and 120 kV at 100 mA and between 80 kV at 100 mA and 120 kV at 100 mA. Visual noise from the low tube current technique was absent in all color maps.

Conclusions
In gastric PCT, blood flow was calculated to be lower with imaging at a low-radiation dose than at a high-radiation dose. By considering that blood flow values change depending on the radiation dose, it was indicated that a low-radiation dose of gastric PCT is feasible.

Clinical Relevance
These preliminary findings may have clinical applications in ischemic or oncologic gastric disease noninvasively, at low-radiation doses, and in a short time in the future. Since the contrast medium dose for PCT is low, the diagnostic value of CT examinations can be further improved by performing both conventional CT examinations and PCT at the same time.
The Future of Educational Research: Looking Through the Lenses of Metamodernism
Authors: Pipere Anita , Lorenzi Francesca 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In today’s complex and unsettling global landscape, it is crucial to seek, define, and legitimize educational perspectives and research that are underpinned by philosophical paradigms that enable us to respond to unforeseen challenges and effectively address the ever-growing complexity and multiplicity of reality. The evolving nature of education – in particular – underscores the urgent need for a paradigm shift. Education itself is in crisis, dominated by unsustainable approaches and narrowly conceived solutions. The main objectives of this study are to provide a summary of the metamodernist paradigm as introduced in previous works and to conceptualize the newly established interdisciplinary principles of metamodernism for the current and future educational research. The theoretical discussion in this paper adopts a constructivist-based integral eclecticism as its methodological framework. Following a concise introduction to metamodernism as an emerging cultural paradigm, the main body of the paper examines the ontological, epistemological, axiological, and methodological dimensions of research through a metamodernist lens. These four aspects of educational research are then contextualized within a broader interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach to educational sciences, emphasizing their relevance to social practice. The paper concludes with a brief discussion on the practical implications of the concepts and conclusions presented.
Fostering a Sustainable Global Society Through Teacher Education: From Soka (Value-Creating) Perspectives
Authors: Kuo Nai-Cheng 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
A sustainable future requires individuals to see their inherent humanity and to respect the dignity of all living beings. Since knowledge can be used for both positive and negative purposes, teacher educators must nurture the humanity of pre-service teachers. This study aims to provide concrete examples and resources that foster students’ humanity during their teacher education programs. To achieve this, document analysis was conducted to examine the content and resources of five websites dedicated to Daisaku Ikeda’s philosophy of Soka humanism, offering valuable inspiration and ideas for teacher educators to incorporate humanity into their curriculum and teaching practices. Furthermore, object-oriented interviews were conducted with two educators who have applied Soka humanism in their teaching practices; one was a department chair of science education at a Christian university, and the other served as a vice president of a public university. The findings suggest that Ikeda websites offer useful information for teacher educators to cultivate the humanity of pre-service teachers, transcending differences in gender, religion, ideology, social position, ethnicity, and nationality. The implications for practice and future research are discussed.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The article seeks to answer the question “Can ecopedagogy mitigate the impact of unsustainable education?” The aim of the article is a phenomenological and hermeneutical reflection on some issues relevant to ecopedagogy at the beginning of the Anthropocene era, when education policy, its governance, the transformation of the holistic approach into a more holistic one and the biological origins and deep cosmological roots of the human species have started to diminish. These and other wicked problems have been used in a reflexive participatory action research setting, which was initiated in 2000 for the development of a teacher program and a reflexive ecopedagogy course.
The study adopts a holistic evolutionary-ecological perspective. Through this perspective, the indivisibility of the evolutionary-ecological phenomenon is highlighted, which opens, highlights and “fuses” the natural cosmic relation of human beings to the environment and society in the pursuit of humanity’s goals. The evolutionary-ecological framework of the phenomenon is considered in the context of the emergence and understanding of a transdisciplinary approach. Two types of transdisciplinary platforms developed within the evolutionary-ecological phenomenon are examined. Through the origins of these platforms, educators are offered the opportunity to discover the relation between the transdisciplinary approach and the evolutionary-ecological phenomenon in pedagogy and the emergence of ideas or emergent recursion in complex evolutionary-ecological processes at different levels, which is enacted through the teacher as living learning aimed at a noble humanity.

Published: January 2025

Although the Covid-19 pandemic is still occurring in Indonesia in 2021, it does not become an obstacle for the artist to continue to innovate both creating and exhibiting their work. One of the innovations in organizing art activities is to switch the format from physical exhibitions to virtual exhibitions during the pandemic. The creation of the 360 video-based virtual exhibition “Estetika Sanggit” using 3D animation as a response to the pandemic is based on the concept of User-Centered Design. This research uses a descriptive-qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The use of this methodology is to discuss the designer’s subjective experience in integrating multiplatform technology (3D animation, 360° video, and Virtual Reality) in designing a virtual exhibition that is “friendly” to visitors. The results of this research show that the designer succeeded in creating a 360° video virtual exhibition that greatly facilitates users in accessing and enjoying the virtual exhibition as if enjoying a physical exhibition. This is evident in the presentation of the virtual exhibition and is obtained from the positive impressions of visitors to this virtual video. These positive impressions demonstrate IDE Studio’s success in designing products that meet user needs. Meskipun pandemi Covid-19 masih terjadi di Indonesia pada tahun 2021, tidak menjadi penghambat bagi seniman untuk terus berinovasi baik berkarya maupun memamerkan hasil karyanya. Salah satu inovasi dalam menyelenggarakan kegiatan kesenian adalah beralih formatnya pameran fisik ke pameran virtual di masa pandemi. Penciptaan pameran virtual “Estetika Sanggit” berbasis video 360 dengan menggunakan animasi 3D sebagai respon menghadapi pandemi didasarkan pada konsep User-Centered Design. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif-kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi. Penggunaan metodologi ini untuk membahas pengalaman subjektif desainer dalam mengintegrasikan teknologi multiplatform (3D animation, 360° video, dan Virtual Reality) pada perancangan pameran virtual yang “ramah” terhadap pengunjung. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa desainer berhasil menciptakan pameran virtual video 360 yang sangat memudahkan pengguna dalam mengakses serta menikmati pameran virtual tersebut layaknya menikmati pameran fisik. Hal ini tampak pada sajian pameran virtualnya dan didapatkan dari kesan positif para pengunjung video virtual ini. Kesan positif tersebut menunjukkan keberhasilan IDE Studio dalam merancang produk yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan pengguna.

Description of the subject. Essential oils are volatile fractions produced through the special metabolism of plants. One significant biological application of essential oils in recent years has been their use as bioherbicides, due to their important biocide effect. Objectives. This study aims to identify the chemical constituents of Aloysia gratissima (Gillies & Hook.) Tronc. essential oil and assess its biocide potential. Method. This study describes, for the first time, the chemical constitution of the essential oils from seeds of A. gratissima. To verify possible biocide effect, lettuce seeds were submitted to different concentrations of essential oils from A. gratissima leaves (AG-LE-EO), flowers (AG-FL-EO), and seeds (AG-SE-EO) to evaluate germination percentage, mean germination time, synchrony of germination, and seedling length. Results. At concentrations of 800 μl·l-1, synchrony was positively influenced by (AG-LE-EO), increasing from 0.38 to 0.54. On the other hand, AG-SE-EO at concentrations of 800 μl·l-1 reduced lettuce germination from 90.8% to 64.4% and seedling length from 1.35 to 0.8 cm, besides increasing mean germination time, indicating biocide effects. Conclusions. These results are expected to lead to further trials to understand how the constituents of A. gratissima essential oils inhibit germination, making them a potential bioherbicide.

Published: January 2025

Concrete is one of the construction materials resulting from a combination of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, and water, which are mixed into a solid mass and then can be added with minerals (additives) or chemical additives (admixtures). The purpose of this study is to produce high-quality concrete that is optimum at the early age of the concrete so that the concreting time can be shortened, including by adding superplasticizer as a filler and silica fume as an accelerator. This research method involves making a cylindrical test object with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of 30 cm. Then, the concrete mixture is added with silica fume brand Sika Fume and superplasticizer brand Sika Concrete produced by PT. Sika with 19 variations of the mixture composition; the compressive strength test of the concrete is carried out at 3 days, 7 days, and 28 days. The findings are that 75% of concrete samples using additional materials in the form of silica fume and superplasticizer are quite significant in increasing the initial compressive strength of the concrete by up to 30% both at the age of 3 days, as well as at the age of 7 days and 28 days. The use of additional materials in the form of silica fume and superplasticizer in concrete mixtures with the right levels can generally improve the quality of concrete in its initial compressive strength at the age of 3 days or its workability or fluidity. However, silica fume and superplasticizer materials, when entered into concrete, have mutually influenced performance. The innovation is that high-quality concrete that is optimum at an early age of concrete can be done easily and cheaply using materials that are easily found in the field by combining superplasticizer as a filler and silica fume as an accelerator.

Published: January 2025

Lubhu which is a 700-year-old traditional Newari settlement just 6 km east of Patan Lalitpur, Nepal. Being so close to Patan and having similarities in culture and traditions, Lubhu has much more to offer strong historical and cultural significance of the Newari settlement in Kathmandu Valley. However, the town has been developing rapidly risking the extinction of historical and cultural practices and uniqueness of the city.
This research intends to find the conservation sensitivity of the local people living in Lubhu. The study concentrates on the Jatra Route and assesses the awareness, attitude, and involvement of the locals toward the conservation of traditional elements, rituals, and heritage sites. The methodology involves qualitative methods such as semi-structured interviews with the stakeholders, locals, and heritage experts and the quantitative method includes a questionnaire and survey. The finding reveals that the majority of the people support the conservation of traditional elements such as monuments, temples, and traditional infrastructures. This study also shows that the people of Lubhu strongly believe that the government is responsible for the conservation of this ancient town rather than another organization or local people, while also revealing prevalent bias among locals regarding the relationship between development and conservation. The study concludes that some people perceive these two goals conflictingly, believing that efforts to preserve cultural heritage hinder progress and modernization.
