“Learning Functional Grammar is fun”: A snapshot of functional grammar unit at an English Education Department in Indonesia
Authors: Emilia Emi , Martin J. R. 
Published: July 2023

This paper reports on a teaching program for the Functional Grammar (FG) unit at an English Education Study Program of a state university in West Java Indonesia in 2020-2022. Three cohorts of pre-service teachers in semester six were involved in the program (38 students in 2020, 26 in 2021, and 36 in 2022). The teaching program was conducted online due to the Covid 19 pandemic. The report focuses on exploring students’ understanding of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) – FG in particular, and their ability to use SFL in text analysis. The study also addresses students’ opinions on learning SFL through FG unit. The study used a qualitative case study design and the data were obtained from participant observations, a questionnaire distributed at the end of the teaching program, and analysis of students’ essays on text analyses. In the interest of space, the paper will only present and discuss data from the questionnaire and three samples of student essays. The questionnaire data were analysed qualitatively using a thematic analysis of different aspects of the unit and SFL, and students’ essays were analysed using SFL, especially theme, transitivity, and mood systems in lexicogrammar stratum. The data from the questionnaire indicate that all the students in all cohorts responded positively to the teaching program. Many students in each cohort said that learning FG is fun, enjoyable, interesting, and useful for both daily and academic life. They displayed a good understanding of SFL, including its basic principles, notions, and values ­ – especially concerning their reading and writing improvement. The data from students’ essays also reveal their ability to show how and why the text means what it does and to evaluate why the text is or is not effective for its own purposes. On this basis, it is recommended that SFL be introduced to Indonesian university students to enhance their literacy capacity and to Indonesian teachers to improve their teaching skills and their ways to develop assessment that is linguistically informed.
The cognitive stability of an elderly human is guaranteed by his lifelong motor activity

A persons muscular activity, or behavior when performing various types of physical exercises, is determined by the brains complex, multi-level architectonics. The organization of any type of movement in sports and physical exercises, as well as various types of professional motor activity, involves all levels of the central nervous system.
This study aims to analyze the benefits of sports for maintaining long-term brain activity.
This study conducted literary critical analysis of the functional interaction of various cortical and subcortical mechanisms of human voluntary movements with domestic and foreign literature involvement.
Regular sports cause structural changes in areas of the brain that are directly or indirectly involved in the organization of movements. Moreover, due to an increase in perfusion, a significant part of the gray matter of the primary sensorimotor fields and many associative areas of the cortex are also subject to structural changes. Muscle work and any motor activity are a positive factor that determines a persons cognitive stability in old age due to favorable changes in the brain.
This conclusion refutes the popular belief that long-term sports lead to the preservation of only the motor cortex with age, whereas the capillary networks in other areas, particularly associative fields, occlude earlier with age, and impair intelligence.

: Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) has gradually evolved as one of the serious global health concern due to its high mortality and limited treatment options. Overuse of the antibiotic and improper sanitation has led to its rapid spread. To determine the proportion of Carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae from various clinical samples received in the Department of Microbiology, MIMS Mandya for Culture and sensitivity by using Meropenem and Imipenem disk.This is a retrospective study conducted over a period of 6 months from March 2021 to august 2021. The samples tested were all the clinical specimens like sputum, pus, urine, body fluids coming to our Microbiology laboratory. The specimens were processed by the standard laboratory methods. Bacteria was isolated and identified by standard biochemical reactions and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done on Mueller Hinton Agar by Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method and interpreted according to CLSI guidelines.A total of 1624 samples were included in the study, among which 211 isolates were identified as members of Enterobacteriaceae family. 50 out of 211 isolates were confirmed as Carbapenem resistant giving a prevalence rate of 23.69%. Urine (42%) was the major contributor of CRE, followed by pus (34%). Among CRE, (54%) was the major organism isolated followed by (20%).Our study showed high CRE prevalence rate of 23.69%, indicating the rapid emergence of CRE. Hence, a strict adherence to antibiotic policy and basic infection control measures to be applied in view of reducing the spread of CRE in the community.

: Urinary tract infections constitute a large percentage of cases encountered in outpatient departments at tertiary care hospitals. These infections have been associated with a rise in antimicrobial resistance, leading to high morbidity and mortality. This rise in drug resistance has been linked to an increase in unauthorized, unregularized use of higher generations of antibiotics, leading to the prevalence of multi drug resistant organisms in the community.: The aim of this study is to analyze the prevalence of various uropathogens in the general population, along with their antibiotic susceptibility patterns. : The study has been carried out for a period of six months, during which a total of 872 urine samples were collected from the outpatient department at Kamineni Academy of Medical Sciences and Research Center, Hyderabad. Urine samples were subjected to bacterial culture and significant bacterial growth was identified using the colony count method. Identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done using an automated VITEK 2 compact system. A total of 236 cases (27.1%) showed significant growth of uropathogens. The common organisms isolated were These organisms were seen more commonly in females. Multidrug resistance has been noted in multiple uropathogens, especially to fluoroquinolones and cephalosporins. This study documented an increase in antimicrobial resistance of the uropathogens isolated at the outpatient department. Judicious use of antibiotics may aid in prevention of spread of antimicrobial drug resistance in the general population.
La reconfiguración de la acción concertada reservada a la iniciativa no lucrativa basada en la regulación de los servicios de interés general de solidaridad
Authors: Rius Coma Marti 
Published: July 2023

Tradicionalmente, las entidades de la economía social han sido un agente protagonista en la prestación de servicios sociales a la ciudadanía. La configuración del Estado de bienestar como manifestación del Estado social supuso la incorporación de numerosos servicios asistenciales de titularidad pública prestados en colaboración con entidades del tercer sector de acción social a través de varios instrumentos de colaboración público-privada. No obstante, las entidades del tercer sector, por sus propias características intrínsecas, no pueden competir en condiciones de igualdad con entidades con fines lucrativos en la adjudicación de contratos para la prestación de servicios sociales. En este contexto, surgió la acción concertada como vía de gestión indirecta de naturaleza no contractual para la prestación de servicios a las personas; modelo basado en el respeto a los principios del Derecho comunitario y que, en muchas ocasiones, se reservó a entidades sin fines lucrativos. Precisamente, dicha reserva a entidades sin ánimo de lucro ha venido poniendo en riesgo el modelo de acción concertada. En concreto, su principal amenaza deriva de la impugnación ante el Tribunal Superior de Justicia de la Comunidad Valenciana, por parte de la Asociación Estatal de Entidades de Servicios de Atención a Domicilio (ASADE), de la normativa autonómica reguladora de la acción concertada, por considerar que resulta contraria a Derecho al excluir a las entidades con ánimo de lucro. Ante el riesgo de que los tribunales puedan concluir que la acción concertada reservada a entidades sin ánimo de lucro puede resultar contraria a los principios de igualdad de trato y no discriminación, como ya ha ocurrido con la reserva de contratos públicos a centros especiales de empleo de iniciativa social, será necesario que las entidades de la economía social trabajen en un nuevo planteamiento de la acción concertada que asegure el modelo actual basado en la ausencia de beneficio económico en la prestación de servicios a las personas y la priorización de la calidad asistencial. Para ello, en este trabajo se plantean las áreas sobre las que debería pivotar una reconfiguración del régimen de la acción concertada reservada a entidades sin ánimo de lucro que tuviera en consideración la diferenciación de los servicios sociales de interés económico general de aquellos servicios de interés no económico, como servicios que atienden a las necesidades de los ciudadanos más vulnerables basados en la doctrina fijada por el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea en relación con los principios de igualdad, universalidad, solidaridad, eficiencia y adecuación, como servicios no sometidos al derecho de la competencia, de forma que se produzca una distinción y un desarrollo específico para los servicios de interés general de solidaridad.

Published: July 2023

Este texto é fruto do Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisas em Políticas e Processos de Educação Superior da Unoesc no ano de 2022, em parceria com o Grupo Internacional de Estudos e Pesquisas de Educação Superior — GIEPES - Unicamp. Nesse sentido, nosso objetivo neste artigo foi o de discutir o neotecnicismo presente nas políticas curriculares da Educação Básica no Brasil, que culminou, mais especificamente, na criação da Base Nacional Comum Curricular - BNCC e do Novo Ensino Médio - NEM. O problema norteador da discussão tem como foco o retorno e a articulação do tecnicismo da década de 70 do século XX às políticas curriculares de educação básica. Este neotecnicismo valoriza os interesses empresariais, cujas reformas provocam a fragmentação do conhecimento em prol do desenvolvimento de competências e habilidades atreladas aos novos parâmetros produtivos, como a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) e o Novo Ensino Médio (NEM). Como resultado, esperamos trazer uma reflexão sobre o contexto histórico educacional brasileiro de 2016 a 2022, tendo como foco a BNCC e o NEM que segundo vários pesquisadores transformam a educação em mercadoria e/ou em business cujo objetivo é somente o lucro (mais-valia), trazido pelo mercado capitalista sob a égide do Estado Neoliberal.

Pengaruh Pola Asuh Orang Tua Terhadap Prestasi Belajar Siswa Pada Mata Pelajaran IPS Terpadu Kelas VII SMPN 1 Sawoo. Bali Adi Surya. Fakultas Tarbiyah dan Ilmu Keguruan Jurusan Pendidikan Tadris Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial Institut Agama Islam Negeri Ponorogo. Banyak faktor yang diduga dapat menyebabkan prestasi belajar siswa rendah. Pada dasarnya prestasi belajar siswa dipengaruhi oleh dua faktor. Faktor intern, seperti faktor fisiologis dan psikologi. Faktor fisiologis yaitu segala sesuatu yang melekat pada seseorang (bersifat jasmaniah). Faktor psikologi yaitu segala sesuatu yang ada pada diri siswa yang bersifat rohaniah atau jiwa. Sedangkan untuk faktor ekstern, seperti pola asuh orang tua yang diberikan kepada anaknya di rumah juga sangat berpengaruh pada kepribadian siswa di sekolah baik positif ataupun negatif. Diantara berbagai faktor yang diduga dapat mempengaruhi prestasi belajar siswa pola asuh orang tua menjadi perhatian peneliti. Sebagaimana prestasi belajar siswa SMPN 1 Sawoo masih tergolong rendah, hal tersebut dapat dilihat dari hasil ulangan harian siswa pada saat peneliti melakukan observasi awal. Faktor pola asuh orang tua diduga yang dapat menyebabkan prestasi belajar siswa yang heterogen. Keberhasilan orang tua dalam mendidik anaknya bisa dilihat dari keberhasilan anak di sekolah, selain itu keberhasilan anak bisa dilihat dari bagaimana orang tua menanamkan nilai kebajikan pada anak. Hal ini tentunya bergantung pada jenis pola asuh yang diterapkan orang tua pada anaknya. Tujuannya dari penelitian (1) Mengetahui bagaimana pola asuh orang tua kelas VII di SMPN 1 Sawoo. (2) Mengetahui prestasi belajar siswa pada mata pelajaran IPS Terpadu Kelas VII SMPN 1 Sawoo. (3) Mengetahui pengaruh pola asuh orang tua terhadap prestasi belajar siswa pada mata pelajaran IPS Terpadu Kelas VII SMPN 1 Sawoo. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dilakukan di SMPN 1 Sawoo. Sumber data diperoleh menggunakan angket dari kelas VII berjumlah 56 siswa.

Integrated perceptual decisions rely on parallel evidence accumulation
Authors: Rangelov Dragan , Fellrath Julia , Mattingley Jason 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The ability to make accurate and timely decisions, such as judging when it is safe to cross
the road, is the foundation of adaptive behaviour. While the computational and neural
processes supporting simple decisions on isolated stimuli have been well characterised, in
the real-world decision-making often requires integration of discrete sensory events over
time and space. When crossing the road, for example, the locations and speeds of several
cars must be considered. It remains unclear how such integrative perceptual decisions are
regulated computationally. Here we used psychophysics, electroencephalography and
computational modelling to understand how the human brain combines visual motion
signals across space. We directly tested competing predictions arising from influential serial
and parallel accounts of visual processing. Using a biologically plausible model of motion
filtering, we find evidence in favour of parallel integration as the fundamental
computational mechanism regulating integrated perceptual decisions.
Source recovery by analytical maximization of phase-shifted kurtosis for the mixtures of noisy and noiseless signals
Authors: SMATTI El mouataz billah , ARAR Djemai 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This manuscript presents a work that provides a study as well as a simple analytical solution for solving the blind source separation problem (BSS) for noiseless and noisy linear mixing of statistically independent stationary and nonstationary signals. The study is based on the exploitation of the probabilistic characteristics of the mixed signals by using the statistics of the second order and the fourth order for the completion of the separation. The proposed solution consists mainly of two steps based on the concept of the geometric solution. For the case of the mixture of two sources (2×2), the first step aims to transform the dependent signals into orthogonal signals (whitening) via the principal component analysis (PCA) principle. After the application of the PCA and in order to complete the statistical independence of the two uncorrelated signals, the second step aims to determine an adequate rotating angle that leads directly to the separation, and this angle is determined in this work analytically by the simple calculation of the phase shift of a sinusoidal objective function based on the sum of the kurtosis of the whitened signals. In the case of several sources (n×n), the solution (2×2) can be applied by a simple generalization which leads to the global separation. Whether for the noisy or noiseless case, the results obtained prove the reliability and efficiency by applying this analytical solution to achieve the desired objective, in particular by comparing the proposed algorithm with the application of two other separation algorithms, one of which involves the application of optimization techniques
Macrophages originated IL33/ST2 inhibits ferroptosis in endometriosis via the ATF3/SLC7A11 axis

Abstract
Endometriosis is a gynecological inflammatory disease which linked with immune cells, specifically macrophages. And IL-33 secreted from macrophages is known to accelerate the progression of endometriosis. The periodic and repeated bleeding in endometriosis leads to a microenvironment with an excess of iron that is conducive to ferroptosis, a process related to intracellular ROS production, lipid peroxidation and mitochondrial damage. Hence, it is suggested that eESCs may have specific mechanisms to inhibit ferroptosis. However, it is currently unclear whether IL-33 directly regulates ferroptosis to influence the disease course in endometriosis. In this study, eESCs co-cultured with macrophages or stimulated with IL-33/ST2 were observed increased cell viability and migration. Additionally, IL-33/ST2 lessened intracellular iron and lipid peroxidation in eESCs exposed to erastin treatment. Furthermore, IL-33/ST2 treatment resulted in a notable elevation of SLC7A11 expression in eESCs due to its negative transcription factor ATF3 down-regulation, thereby suppressing ferroptosis. The P38/JNK pathway activated by IL-33/ST2 was also found to inhibit transcription factor ATF3. Therefore, we concluded that IL-33/ST2 constrains ATF3's role in suppressing SLC7A11 transcription via the P38/JNK pathway. The findings reveal that macrophage-derived IL-33 induces an upregulation of SLC7A11 in eESCs through the p38/JNK/ATF3 pathway, ultimately resulting in protection against ferroptosis in endometriosis. Moreover, we conducted an experiment in mouse endometriosis models that showed that a combination of IL-33-Ab and erastin treatment alleviated the disease, showing the promise of combining immunotherapy and ferroptosis therapy.
Using modern contraception while wanting a child. What does contraceptive over-use mean for the human rights-based approach in Burkina Faso: Insights from PMA2020 data
Authors: ZAN Lonkila Moussa , SAUVAIN-DUGERDIL Claudine , ROSSIER Clémentine 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Background
The sustainable development goal 5.6 calls for “universal access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights” to fulfil sexual and reproductive practices. The capabilities approach helps refine the analysis of contraceptive use by going beyond the dichotomous view of contraceptive use as use/non-use to focus on women’s freedom to choose what they have good reason to value. Using the case of Burkina Faso, we probe more deeply into whether contraceptive use reflects real progress in women’s reproductive rights to realise the fertility projects they value.
Methods
We use PMA2020 data collected in Burkina Faso between December 2018 and January 2019. The survey included 3,329 women with a participation rate of 97.7%. The PMA2020 female core questionnaire solicits information on fertility and contraceptive behavior, much like the DHS. We asked a series of specific questions about cognitive and psychosocial access relating to FP. We examined bivariate associations between our outcome measure “contraceptive behavior” and the set of independent variables. We also used logistic regression models to evaluate associations with endowments/conversion and capability factors and current functioning by focusing on overuse (i.e., use of contraceptives despite desiring pregnancy within the next 12 months).
Results
Women who said their ideal number of children was “up to God” had the highest level of overuse, which was also higher among women living in communities with medium acceptance of contraception and greater support for fertility. Women with higher and middle levels of information tend to engage less in overuse than those with lower information levels.
Conclusion
We conclude that overuse (contraceptive use when desiring a child soon) reveals a lack of rights, as it is associated with a lack of information about contraceptives and women’s inability to conceive an ideal number of children. Efforts should be made to enhance women’s level of contraceptive information.
