Teaching Narrative Texts in Young Learners’ Classroom During Pandemic Covid-19: An Analysis from A Multiliteracies Perspective
Authors: Atsani Iffianti Azka , Damayanti Ika Lestari 
Published: March 2023

There is an urgency in education to situate literacy instruction in practices that are responsive to the globalized, multilingual world we live in. The New London Group (1996) has predicted the situation and conceptualized multiliteracies, which view literacy as supplemental, continual, and modifying established literacy teaching and learning rather than replacing traditional teaching and learning practices (Rowsell, Kosnik, Beck, 2008). With the pandemic Covid-19 outbreaks, all schools were forced to be online, encompassing the principles of more than just a traditional literacy pedagogy. Thus, this study aims to see types of teaching and learning resources and pedagogical acts conducted in the classroom seen from multiliteracies perspective during the online classroom. This qualitative study explored the teaching and learning resources and the pedagogical acts based on the multiliteracy pedagogy perspective. The data was collected from classroom observation, interview with the teacher and document analysis. The results showed that the teacher in this study mostly focused on Situated Practice and Overt Instruction in teaching narrative texts in an online classroom. This indicated that the teaching and learning practices only focused on the knowledge process of experiencing and conceptualising. The teacher did not really promote the process of analysing-both functionally and critically- and applying creatively. Keywords: Multiliteracies, Narrative texts, COVID-19, English for Young learners

Purpose: The aim of this study is to show whether radiologically diffusion tractography imaging (DTI) and electrophysiologically F responses methods support clinical examination in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). It is to determine the relationships between these two methods.
Materials and Methods: Patients with a definite diagnosis of ALS according to the Revised-El Escorial and Awaji criteria at any stage of the disease, who applied to the Electromyography (EMG) laboratory of the Neurology Clinic of Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa, Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty, prospectively and cross-sectionally, were included in the study. The revised ALS functional rating scale (ALSFRS-R) was scored. Electrophysiological studies included routine nerve conduction studies, F responses and needle EMG. In radiological examinations, diffusion tractography imaging (DTI) maps were obtained in brain and cervical Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and diffusivity and fractional anisotropy (FA) values were compared.
Results: The mean age of the 12 volunteer patients included in the study was 55.92±9.68 (43-72), and consisted of 4 female and 8 male individuals. The mean ALSFRS-R score was 35.75±7.86 (24-46). MRI was performed in 11 of the patients, spinal imaging could not be performed in one patient. The mean age of the 11 patients who were imaging was 56.4±9.8 years and the disease duration was 2.7±1.9 years. Low values of DTI-FA were found to be associated with poor respiratory and speech scores as assessed by linear regression analysis. Repeater F responses in the ulnar nerves were also associated with a high ALSFRS-R score.
Conclusion: In our study, we observed that low values of DTI-FA were associated with poor respiratory and speech scores. Showing the correlation of low FA with a vital function such as respiration may indicate that this technique will be helpful in the prognosis and progression of the disease. The increase of repeater F responses in the ulnar nerves in those with high ALSFRS-R scores suggests that it is worth investigating whether ALS can be used in differentiating from other anterior horn diseases. The results of this study suggest that DTI-FA, which is an advanced radiological evaluation, and repeater F responses as an electrophysiological method may support early diagnosis in ALS.
P/SVAmplitude Ratios of Shallow Isotropic Explosions and Earthquakes Could Be Indistinguishable at Local Distances: Insights from Single-Station Waveform Simulations
Authors: Zhang Miao 
Published: March 2023

AbstractShear waves play a key role in seismic discrimination between explosions and earthquakes due to their different source mechanisms. However, shear waves are often observed in field explosions with unexpectedly large amplitude, and their generation mechanism is still a significant unresolved question in seismology. Many explanations have been proposed, including the asymmetry of explosive sources, and heterogeneity and/or anisotropy of the Earth’s subsurface. However, it has not been well understood whether source or velocity structure can independently and sufficiently explain the shear waves generated by explosions. Theoretically, tangential SH waves can be converted and scattered from vertical and radial SV waves due to anisotropy and heterogeneity. Thus, it is essential to understand the generation of SV waves by explosions. In this study, we utilize the frequency–wavenumber algorithm and 1D layered velocity models to simulate waveforms of isotropic explosions and double-couple earthquakes at local distances (&lt;20 km). Our results suggest that explosions and earthquakes may generate comparable SV waves if both occurred within a near-surface velocity gradient zone. The earliest SV waves by explosions appear to originate from the near-source region. It implies that P/SV amplitude ratios of explosions and earthquakes could be indistinguishable under certain circumstances.

Published: March 2023

In the last five decades, during archaeological investigations in churches and church cemeteries both in Poland and Western Europe, relics of many wreaths made of artificial and natural flowers have been discovered. Some of them have been described in considerable detail and drawing reconstructions have been made. In many cases, the garlands were made of similar details, but the arrangement in individual compositions varied. On the basis of these discoveries, it was decided in the laboratory of the Institute of Archaeology in Toruń to make a copy of one wreath and bouquet found on the mortal remains of a child (coffin 4) in the northern crypt of St. Nicholas Church in Gniew dated to the second half of the 17th century (up to 1680). The analysis of elements was the basis for the individual flowers. And the final composition is the vision of one of the authors of the article, Barbara Gałka, who made copies of both the bouquet and the wreath. The raw materials for making the copies had been collected for a long time, as the Polish trade offer did not quite allow them to be gathered in advance. This article attempts to provide a description of the flowers used in 17th-century objects and the creative process in making the copies. The end result of these activities is shown in Figures 11, 12 and 13.
Política jurisdiccional y administración
Authors: Hernando Nieto Eduardo 
Published: March 2023

¿Hasta qué punto estudiar política jurisdiccional requiere del concurso de distintas teorías administrativas en general y de la ciencia de la administración pública en particular? Este pequeño texto se plantea tal reflexión y llega a la conclusión de que es imposible proponer una aproximación novedosa a esta temática sin contar con la teoría administrativa, por lo que los especialistas y reformadores ganarían mucho con el contacto de esta disciplina dentro de lo que ya resulta, claramente, un enfoque multidisciplinario.
Valor en Riesgo utilizando cópulas financieras: aplicación al tipo de cambio mexicano (2002-2011)
Authors: Plascencia Cuevas Tania Nadiezhda 
Published: March 2023

Actualmente, la volatilidad en los tipos de cambio es un tema crucial y trascendental por todas las transacciones, negociaciones y operaciones que se efectúan en moneda extranjera, siendo la predicción objetiva y precisa la piedra angular. Por lo tanto, el objetivo principal de esta investigación es analizar si para el mercado cambiario mexicano las valoraciones del riesgo que utilizan las metodologías VaR tradicional y VaR mediante cópulas son más precisas cuando las estimaciones se hacen para un periodo histórico amplio o para dos subperiodos determinados. De este modo, se puede ayudar a predecir las máximas pérdidas que se pudieran tener, con la principal motivación de tener una estrategia de cobertura eficiente. La principal conclusión de esta es que, para valorar el riesgo con estas metodologías, no ecesariamente las series tienen que incluir más de un lustro, teniendo en cuenta que el uso de las cópulas como medida de dependencia hace que las predicciones se ajusten de forma más precisa a los rendimientos reales.

Published: March 2023

O presente estudo tem como objetivo coletar evidências sobre práticas orçamentárias em empresas portuárias do Sul doBrasil. Para atingir este objetivo, uma pesquisa empírica foi realizada com o envio de questionário a três portos do Sul do Brasil. Os resultados mostram que os portos desta região, se comparada a literatura, aplicam apenas parcialmente as práticas orçamentárias. Entre as características principais da pesquisa está a elaboração do orçamento de cima para baixa (top-down), não alinhado com o planejamento estratégico, o que gera possíveis dificuldades de coordenação entre os departamentos e de motivação dos empregados, aliada à avaliação interna dos resultados e à aplicação parcial dos mecanismos de controle. Estas características mostram que os portos do Sul do Brasil têm oportunidades de melhoriaem diferentes práticas de orçamento.
The Relationship between Financial Development and Economic Growth in Five Fragile Countries
Authors: Turgut Ecem , Ucan Okyay 
Published: March 2023

This study aimed to analyze the causality relationship between financial development and economic growth by using the data of the five fragile countries for the period 1980 to 2018. In this direction, the cross-section dependency is examined, and it is concluded that the cross-section is independent. Then, by performing the Delta homogeneity test, it is aimed to understand whether other countries are affected at the same level without a change occurring in any of the countries considered, and heterogeneity has been reached. Subsequently, the unit root test determines that the variables are stationary at different levels. Dumitrescu and Hurlin panel causality test is performed to test the causality relationship. As a result of the test, while it is seen that there is not a relationship between economic growth and financial development index, the examination with control variables confirmed that there is a causality relationship between economic growth and financial development. These results showed that the demand-leading hypothesis is valid in the five fragile countries. Finally, to understand the causality relationship more clearly in the study, the Hatemi-J asymmetric causality test was performed, and it is understood that the causality relationship between financial development and economic growth may differ according to country.

Optical Characteristics of Silver Nanoparticles Obtained Using Artemisia tilesii Ledeb. "Hairy" Root Extracts With High Flavonoid Content
Authors: Bohdanovych Taisa , Matvieieva Nadiia 
Published: March 2023

Background. "Hairy" roots can be used for production of plant-derived secondary metabolites, such as flavonoids, which have antioxidant and reducing properties. It seems promising to use the process of silver nanoparticles formation as a method of determining the level of reducing power. This approach allows simul­taneously to obtain nanoparticles with different biological activity and evaluate the reducing potential of dif­ferent plants.
Objective. The aim of the study was to determine the dependence of optical properties (ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectra) of solutions of silver nanoparticles obtained using wormwood "hairy" root extracts on the content of flavonoids as compounds with reducing activity.
Methods. Four Artemisia tilesii “hairy” root lines from the collection of the Institute of Cell Biology and Genetic Engineering NAS of Ukraine were grown for five weeks in liquid 1/2 MS medium with 20 g/l sucrose. "Hairy" roots were homogenized in 70% ethanol, the extracts were centrifuged, total flavonoid content was determined, and extracts were used for the silver nanoparticles preparation via reduction of Ag+ to Ag0 from AgNO3. UV-Vis spectra at 300–600 nm range were recorded right after colloid solution preparation, in five, and in nine days.
Results. Total flavonoid content varied from 4.01 ± 0.39 to 15.37 ± 1.08 mg RE/g FW. The UV-Vis spectra curves of absorption increased with the course of time, mostly from day 0 to day 5. At this period, absorption at 370–500 nm wavelength increased almost twofold. The peak absorption of all samples was detected at 440 nm, and the maximum values at the wavelength of 440 nm correlated with the content of flavonoids. This correlation did not change over time.
Conclusions. The optical properties of silver nanoparticles colloid solutions obtained using A. tilesii "hairy" root extracts correlated with the total flavonoid content of the samples. Even though the absorbance of the colloid solutions increased with time, those increases correlated with flavonoid content as well. The determination of the optical properties of AgNPs colloid solution can be used as a convenient way of quickly comparing the reducing ability of extracts both right after the formation of a colloidal solution and after some time of its storage.

Published: March 2023

The government has established various policies regarding mining in Indonesia. Still, an important question that needs to be asked is whether these policies have provided benefits, justice, and balance for indigenous and tribal peoples. This study aims to analyze the impact of Indonesian mining regulations on the protection of indigenous peoples. This is a normative legal research effort. The literature review gathers information from document analysis, which is analyzed qualitatively. Data analysis is descriptive-analytic in nature. The study results show that the impact of mining regulations still needs to reflect the recognition and protection of the rights of indigenous peoples. There is a need to improve mining management legislation and systems. Standardization of reclamation and post-mining management is required to provide implementation guidelines that meet the needs of the community. It has no negative impact on the community surrounding the mine. Licensing is one policy that can be used to implement standardization, which means keeping an eye on how the land is managed after mining, how waste is handled, and how policies are made to encourage mining and conservation activities that are good for the environment.

Authors: Aleksandrov Eugene , Aleksandrova Tetiana , Kostianyk Iryna , Morgun Yaroslav 
Published: March 2023

Topicality. When creating ESP (Electronic Stability Program) car stability systems, the main task is to determine the values of the varied parameters of the EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution) electronic block, which ensure the required accuracy of stabilization of the car body in urgent braking mode relative to the given direction of movement. The purpose of the article. To solve the problem of parametric synthesis of the EBD block, it is necessary to create a simulation model of external disturbances acting on the car body from the side of the road surface. Well-known simulation models are created for car movement modes on a random surface with a constant speed. At the same time, random external disturbances are stationary in nature. The urgent braking mode is characterized by an intense decrease in the current speed of the car. Results. The paper proposes a method of constructing a random function of an external disturbance acting on the car body in urgent braking mode. It is proved that this perturbation is non-stationary in nature; the forming dynamic link, the input of which is supplied with single "white noise", and the output of which is an external disturbance, is an oscillating dynamic link, the gain and time constants of which depend on the current value of the car's speed during urgent braking.
Ecodatacube.eu: Analysis-ready open environmental data cube for Europe
Authors: Witjes Martijn , Parente Leandro Leal , Krizan Josip , Antonic Luka , Hengl Tomislav 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The paper describes the production steps and accuracy assessment of an analysis-ready, open-access European
data cube consisting of 2000–2020+ Landsat data, 2017–2021+ Sentinel-2 data and a 30m resolution
Digital Terrain Model (DTM). The main purpose of the data cube is to make annual continental-scale
spatiotemporal machine learning tasks accessible to a wider user base by providing a spatially and temporally
consistent multidimensional feature space. This has required systematic spatiotemporal harmonization,
efficient compression, and imputation of missing values. Sentinel-2 and Landsat reflectance values were
aggregated into four quarterly averages approximating the four seasons common in Europe (winter, spring,
summer and autumn), as well as the 25th and 75th percentile, in order to retain intra-seasonal variance.
Remaining missing data in the Landsat time-series was imputed with a temporal moving window median
(TMWM) approach. An accuracy assessment shows TMWM performs relatively better in Southern Europe
and lower in mountainous regions such as the Scandinavian Mountains, the Alps, and the Pyrenees. We
quantify the usability of the different component data sets for spatiotemporal machine learning tasks with a
series of land cover classification experiments, which show that models utilizing the full feature space (30 m
DTM, 30 m Landsat, 30 m and 10 m Sentinel-2) yield the highest land cover classification accuracy, with
different data sets improving the results for different land cover classes. The data sets presented in the
paper are part of the EcoDataCube platform, which also hosts open vegetation, soil, and land use / land
cover (LULC) maps created. All data sets are available under CC-BY license as Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFFs
(ca. 12 TB in size) through SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) and the EcoDataCube data portal.
Purification efficiency of two ecotypes of wetland plants on subtropical eutrophic lakes in China
Authors: Zhu Yingmo , Yang Ke , Chen Zhe 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The accelerated eutrophication rate of (sub)tropical lakes is a major environmental problem. Constructed wetlands are considered as an effective method to purify water bodies. However, the removal rate of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and other nutrients by wetland vegetation is quite different, and the continuous observation of plants and water ecosystems is required. In this study, the growth curves of two subtropical wetland plants, Phragmites australis and Zizania caduciflora, and their absorption effects on N and P in constructed wetlands were studied. The results showed that the growth curves of the two wetland plants were similar, reaching the biomass peak in July to August, and the cumulative absorption of N and P by plants had the same trend with the change of biomass. The N and P concentration of plants reached the peak in March to April, with higher concentration in P.australis than that of Z.latifolia. At the end of the growing season, i.e. around October 20, the accumulated absorption of N and P by plants reached the maximum, which was the optimal time for harvest of subtropical wetland plants. Thereafter, the residues of plant litter entered the water, causing the recovery of N and P concentration in the water body, therefore affected the purification function of wetland. There is a strong correlation between the water purification efficiency and plant growth. With the increase of biomass, N and P accumulation in P.australis and Z.latifolia, the N, P content and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the water of wetland showed a significant decreasing trend. The removal rates of N, P, COD and suspended substance (SS) in the constructed wetlands with P.australis and Z.latifolia as the main plants were 95%, 96%, 82% and 86%, respectively. In general, the purification capacity of P.australis is slightly higher than that of Z.latifolia and precipitation had positive effects on the pollutants concentration of wetland water. The results provide scientific basis for plant selection and management of subtropical constructed wetlands.
A Majority Signal Parity Check Scheme For Data Hiding with Tree-Based Parity Check

Published: March 2023

Abstract
In order to increase the embedding efficiency, we analyse an asymptotic behaviour when developing a steganographic scheme. For steganography, it's crucial to minimise the cover and the distortion item and the stego object. Due to its simplicity, parity check using trees approach is particularly effective for using visual data to cover over a message. We suggest a Majority Signal Parity Check based on this methodology, which yields the least distortion when locating a stego object. Our method's reduced embedding efficiency is superior to that of earlier studies when the hidden message length reaches a sizeable amount.
