ChemDive – a classroom planning tool for infusing Universal Design for Learning
Authors: Holländer Monika , Melle Insa 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The increasing diversity in todays’ classroom environment is a general challenge for modern societies and requires also for future chemistry teachers specific professional training. For that reason, the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is part of our university’s master program. It is designed as a framework for an approach which also serves to make chemistry lessons more accessible. However, while implementing the UDL in the specific planning of chemistry lessons problems might often occur. Therefore, based on the UDL and on established approaches to lesson planning in chemistry education we have developed the planning tool ChemDive (Chemistry for Diversity) with different functions, allowing teachers to practice the effective planning of more accessible lessons. ChemDive is taught as part of a master’s degree seminar in preparation for a semester-long practical phase at school. We carried out the evaluation in chemistry teachers’ training in addition to the development of the tool. The study is designed as an intervention study with repeated measures at the beginning and the end of the seminar. Initial results of the quantitative evaluation (during the seminar; pre-post) of lesson planning show that students implement significantly more UDL elements after being taught the planning tool than they do without.

Wideband self-isolated MIMO antenna element based on multiple adjacent modes coupling current cancellation for 5G mobile terminal application
Authors: Pang Bo , Hu Wei , Jiang Wen , Liu Jie , Lu Bao 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIn this article, a wideband self-isolated multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna element based on multiple adjacent modes coupling current cancellation is proposed for 5G mobile terminal. The wideband self-isolated technology based on multiple adjacent mode coupling current cancellation are demonstrated. With the combination of five adjacent loop modes, the −6 dB bandwidth of the proposed self-isolated element can cover 3.3–3.8 GHz and 4.4–5.0 GHz. Finally, an 8 × 8 MIMO array is constructed by arranging eight proposed wideband self-isolated antenna elements on the two long sides of the mobile terminal. Simulated and measured results show that the isolation of 8 × 8 MIMO array exceeds 15 dB without any decoupling structures in the operating frequency band. The proposed antenna elements are simply arranged to obtain a wideband high isolation MIMO array, and it is a good choice for 5G mobile terminal.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
This work aims to describe the observed enrichment of inverted repeats in the human genome; and to identify and describe, with detailed length profiles, the regions with significant and relevant enriched occurrence of inverted repeats. The enrichment is assessed and tested with a recently proposed measure (z-scores based measure). We simulate a genome using an order 7 Markov model trained with the data from the real genome. The simulated genome is used to establish the critical values which are used as decision thresholds to identify the regions with significant enriched concentrations. Several human genome regions are highly enriched in the occurrence of inverted repeats. This is observed in all the human chromosomes. The distribution of inverted repeat lengths varies along the genome. The majority of the regions with severely exaggerated enrichment contain mainly short length inverted repeats. There are also regions with regular peaks along the inverted repeats lengths distribution (periodic regularities) and other regions with exaggerated enrichment for long lengths (less frequent). However, adjacent regions tend to have similar distributions.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Learning from data is a valuable skill for nonprofit professionals and researchers. Often, data have a spatial component, and data relevant to the nonprofit sector are no exception. Understanding spatial aspects of the nonprofit sector may provide immense value to social entrepreneurs, funders, and policy makers, by guiding programmatic decisions, facilitating resource allocation, and development policy. As a result, spatial thinking has become an essential component of critical thinking and decision making among nonprofit professionals. The goal of this case study is to support and encourage instruction of spatial data analysis and spatial thinking in nonprofit studies. The case study presents a local nonprofit data set, along with open data and code, to assist the instructors teaching spatial aspects of the nonprofit sector. Pedagogical approaches are discussed.
Dynamic Recruitment of the Feedforward and Recurrent Mechanism for Black–White Asymmetry in the Primary Visual Cortex

Published: July 2023

Black and white information is asymmetrically distributed in natural scenes, evokes asymmetric neuronal responses, and causes asymmetric perceptions. Recognizing the universality and essentiality of black–white asymmetry in visual information processing, the neural substrates for black–white asymmetry remain unclear. To disentangle the role of the feedforward and recurrent mechanisms in the generation of cortical black–white asymmetry, we recorded the V1 laminar responses and LGN responses of anesthetized cats of both sexes. In a cortical column, we found that black–white asymmetry starts at the input layer and becomes more pronounced in the output layer. We also found distinct dynamics of black–white asymmetry between the output layer and the input layer. Specifically, black responses dominate in all layers after stimulus onset. After stimulus offset, black and white responses are balanced in the input layer, but black responses still dominate in the output layer. Compared with that in the input layer, the rebound response in the output layer is significantly suppressed. The relative suppression strength evoked by white stimuli is notably stronger and depends on the location within the ON-OFF cortical map. A model with delayed and polarity-selective cortical suppression explains black–white asymmetry in the output layer, within which prominent recurrent connections are identified by Granger causality analysis. In addition to black–white asymmetry in response strength, the interlaminar differences in spatial receptive field varied dynamically. Our findings suggest that the feedforward and recurrent mechanisms are dynamically recruited for the generation of black–white asymmetry in V1.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTBlack–white asymmetry is universal and essential in visual information processing, yet the neural substrates for cortical black–white asymmetry remain unknown. Leveraging V1 laminar recordings, we provided the first laminar pattern of black–white asymmetry in cat V1 and found distinct dynamics of black–white asymmetry between the output layer and the input layer. Comparing black–white asymmetry across three visual hierarchies, the LGN, V1 input layer, and V1 output layer, we demonstrated that the feedforward and recurrent mechanisms are dynamically recruited for the generation of cortical black–white asymmetry. Our findings not only enhance our understanding of laminar processing within a cortical column but also elucidate how feedforward connections and recurrent connections interact to shape neuronal response properties.

Published: July 2023

This article aims to reveal the purification or modernization performed by Muhammadiyah in Sufism, especially concerning the practical mysticism in sufi order and philosophical mysticism on the concepts of ittihād, hulūl, and wahdat al wujūd. The research data is gathered from the official document Muhammadiyah records, such as fatwas of Muhammadiyah's Majlis Tarjih and Tajdid, Hamka's thoughts and AR Fakhruddin’s performance as former leaders of Muhammadiyah. This study uses content analysis to determine the position of Muhammadiyah's views on the early Sufi. The result showed that tajdīd performed by Muhammadiyah is called purification and it harmonious with modern life. It differs with the meaning and practices of early Sufism. Muhammadiyah's position towards tarīqa is positive as long as the understanding and practice of Islam are derived from the guidance of the Qur'an and valid Sunnah. As for the concepts of ittihād, hulūl and wahdat al-wujūd, Muhammadiyah rejects them because there is an element of equating God with humans or pantheism, which has no basis in the Qur'an and Sunnah. This rejection is in line with what has been done by early Sufism scholars such as al-Sarrāj, al-Juwairī, al-Syahrastānī, and al-Kalabāżī.

AbstractThe nutritional and therapeutic benefits of plants are outstanding. Wild mustard (Sinapis arvensis L.) collected from different regions was analysed for its phenolic, flavonoid, protein, and biological activity levels. In this case, the plant ethanol extract was obtained using a soxhlet apparatus. Rel assay kits and the DPPH test were used to assess the plant's antioxidant activity. The agar dilution test was used to determine antimicrobial efficacy. A549 lung cancer cells were used in an MTT assay to measure antiproliferative activity. The Folin−Ciocalteu reagent was used to quantify the total phenolic content of the sample. The amount of flavonoids was determined using an aluminium chloride test. The amount of protein was calculated using the AOAC's standard technique. Based on the research conducted, it was shown that the maximum total antioxidant status (TAS) value for the ethanol extract of wild mustard from various places was 5.232 ± 0.047 mmol L−1. At a concentration of 2 mg mL−1, DPPH activity was measured to be 82.06 ± 1.01. The maximum levels of total phenolic, flavonoid, and protein were 80.57 ± 2.19 mg g−1, 154.07 ± 2.79 mg g−1, and 7.75 ± 0.24%, respectively. Doses of 25–100 μg mL−1 of plant extracts were effective against fungal strains, whereas doses of 50–200 μg mL−1 were beneficial against bacterial strains. The plant extracts were shown to have potent antiproliferative properties. It was found that wild mustard's phenolic, flavonoid, protein, and biological activity levels varied according to the location from which it was gathered. It was also concluded that wild mustard had significant biological activity.

AbstractThe effect of small amounts of copper oxide, manganese oxide, and stainless steel as sintering additives on the sintering behavior and mechanical properties of Alumina Toughened Zirconia (ATZ, 3Y-TZP with 20 wt% Al2O3) ceramic composites were evaluated and contrasted with that of undoped ATZ by using microwave sintering (MW) method. Green bodies were sintered at 1250°C, 1350°C, and 1500°C using a holding time of 5 min., with a heating rate of 30°C /min. In general, all ATZ samples exhibited a similar trend, as the results showed that the relative density and mechanical properties increased with increasing sintering temperature regardless of the addition of dopants. It was found that the addition of 0.2 wt% CuO, 0.5 wt% MnO2, and 0.2 wt% SS were beneficial in enhancing the densification and improving the mechanical properties of ATZ without inducing grain coarsening. The ATZ composite samples' relative density, tetragonal phase stability, microstructural evolution, Vickers hardness, and fracture toughness were revealed. The addition of 0.2 wt% CuO was the most beneficial in improving the properties of ATZ at a low sintering temperature of 1250°C since the sample obtained the highest relative density of 97%, Vickers hardness of 13.2GPa and fracture toughness of 6.5 MPa m1/2. In contrast, the undoped ATZ required a high sintering temperature to achieve comparable results to the doped samples. The ANOVA analysis revealed that the CuO-doped ATZ sample exhibited the highest significance and was the most suitable in improving both hardness (H) and fracture toughness (KIc) across all temperature conditions. This study also proved that the microwave sintering technique promotes the densification and mechanical properties of ceramic composites compared to the conventional sintering technique.Graphical abstract

Published: July 2023

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). One form of prevention is implementing Clean and Healthy Living Behaviour (Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat, PHBS) at the household level. This study aimed to analyze the association between PHBS at the household level and COVID-19 cases at the Parigi Public Health Center, West Java, Indonesia.Methods: This was an unmatched case control study carried out in September–October 2021 with respondents from Parigi Public Health Center, Pangandaran Regency, involving 63 people for each case and control group. Sampling was conducted by the non-probability method. Data were collected using a checklist to measure the implementation of PHBS at the household level. Data were analyzed by statistical analysis, using the Chi-square or Fisher Exact test and Odds Ratio.Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the implementation of PHBS at the household level and the incidence of COVID-19 (p=0.668).Conclusions: The implementation of PHBS at the household level is not related to the incidence of COVID-19. Further studies are needed with larger population, looking for causal relationship, and controlling for confounding variables.

From the modern point of view, dyslipoproteinemia and its clinical manifestation – atherosclerosis – is a complex multifactorial process, which is based on inflammation, and, as a consequence, oxidative stress.The aim of the study was to identify the dynamics of the concentration of diene conjugates and malondialdehyde in the blood and liver of rats of different ages under oxidative stress caused by modeling dyslipoproteinemia with subsequent mechanical injury of skeletal muscle.Materials and methods. The study was carried out on white mongrel healthy male rats 24 months old (120 individuals) and 6 months old (120 adults). All old and young animals were divided into four subgroups within their group, 30 animals each. The animals of the first subgroup in the groups of old and young rats are intact rats. Animals of the second subgroup in each group had a mechanical dissection in the area of the middle third of the calf muscle of the hind limb. Animals of the third and fourth subgroups of each group were subjected to dyslipoproteemia modeling. After the specified time, the animals of the fourth subgroup of both groups were injured in the middle third of the calf muscle of the hind limb.Conclusions. Mechanical injury of the calf muscle in combination with dyslipoproteemia is characterized by intense oxidative stress and leads to an increase in the concentration of malondialdehyde and diene conjugates in the liver and blood tissues of rats, and in old animals these processes are more pronounced than in young ones.

Authors: Safitri Diah , Rahman Hakim Arif 
Published: July 2023

Pendidikan di era modern perlu digalakkan oleh pihak sekolah. Pendidikan karakter menjadi sebuah hal yang penting ditanamkan kepada anak, dimana anak bukan hanya mahir dan pintar saja dalam bidang akademisnya namun, juga harus memiliki karakter yang baik. Pendidikan karakter dapat dilakukan dengan berbagai cara, salah satunya dengan budaya 5S. Budaya sekolah 5S dilakukan SMPN 1 Sambit sudah sejak lama dan menjadi kebudayaan sekolah, meskipun SMPN 1 Sambit adalah sekolah negeri yang tidak berbasis Islam, namun budaya Islam ingin terus dioptimalkan. Selain itu, berakhlak atau berbudi pekerti luhur dalam visi misi sekolah menjadi sesuatu hal yang ingin dicapai melalui 5S, demi mencetak generasi yang berkarakter.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan (1) penanaman Pendidikan karakter melalui 5S dalam mengoptimalkan kultur islami di SMPN 1 Sambit Ponorogo; (2) faktor pendorong dan penghambat penanaman Pendidikan karakter melalui 5S dalam mengoptimalkan kultur islami di SMPN 1 Sambit Ponorogo; dan (3) hasil pelaksanaan Pendidikan karakter melalui 5S dalam mengoptimalkan kultur islami di SMPN 1 Sambit Ponorogo.
Adapun penelitian ini dirancang menggunakan metode kualitatif, menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Pengambilan data dilakukan melalui wawancara terstruktur, observasi dan dokumentasi. Narasumber berasal dari Kepala Sekolah, Guru Pamong IPS, Guru PAI dan siswa di SMPN 1 Sambit Ponorogo. Data hasil penelitian kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model analisa Miles, Huberman dan Saldana meliputi pengumpulan data, kondensasi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan.
Berdasarkan hasil analisis data ditemukan bahwa (1) penanaman pendidikan karakter melalui 5S dalam mengoptimalkan kultur islami di SMPN 1 Sambit Ponorogo dilaksanakan dengan baik. Adapun cara penanaman melalui keteladanan guru, monitoring (pengawasan), kerjasama dengan orang tua dan melalui kegiatan ekstrakurikuler. (2) Faktor pendorong penanaman Pendidikan karakter melalui 5S adalah keinginan sekolah membentuk karakter anak melalui kebijakan 5S, peraturan ketat budaya 5S dan dorongan dari pihak orang tua untuk menginternalisasikan budaya 5S di lingkungan keluarga. Sedangkan Faktor penghambat pelaksanaan pendidikan karakter melalui 5S adalah tidak semua guru berperan menanamkan budaya 5S, penggunaan Bahasa Jawa oleh siswa ada yang kurang benar, pergaulan siswa di luar sekolah yang kurang baik dan tidak semua orang tua berperan dalam menanamkan budaya 5S di lingkungan keluarga. (3) Hasil pelaksanaan pendidikan karakter melalui 5S dalam mengoptimalkan kultur islami di SMPN 1 Sambit adalah budaya Islam semakin optimal dengan 5S. Selain membangun ukhuwah Islamiyah, 5S juga membentuk perilaku yang baik. Adapaun karakter yang muncul dari pelaksanaan budaya 5S adalah karakter kepedulian sosial, komunikatif, religius dan disiplin. Nilai-nilai luhur tersebut diinternalisasikan melalui budaya 5S yang diterapkan dengan baik oleh sekolah.
