Authors: Gebo Alexander , Aditama Putu Wirayudi , Sarasvananda Ida Bagus Gede , Permana I Putu Hendika 
Published: February 2023

SMK Negeri 1 Ende merupakan sekolah menengah kejuruan yang terletak di Jl. Anggrek KM 03 Kabupaten Ende, Nusa Tenggara Timur. Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan ini berdiri sejak tahun 1965. Berdasarkan hasil wawancara yang dilakukan dengan petugas bendahara SMK Negeri 1 Ende sampai saat ini pencatatan laporan keuangan masih menggunakan buku besar harus merekap satu persatu dari masing-masing transaksi. Kemudian dari hasil rekapan tersebut yang dicatat pada buku besar barulah diproses penginputan dengan sistem pencatatan laporan keuangan terkomputerisasi yang sederhana yaitu menggunakan software Microsoft Excel, sehingga dalam pengolahan datanya mengalami terjadinya hambatan proses kesalahan seperti pencarian data, pencatatan dan perhitungan data transaksi mengalami proses perhitungan yang berulang – ulang dari tiap transaksi. Dengan proses pencatatan laporan keuangan yang secara manual, besar kemungkinan masih mengalami hambatan dalam pencatatan transaksi dan pengelolaan data laporan keuangan seperti kehilangan data atau penyalahgunaan data oleh pihak yang tidak bertanggung jawab karena proses pengelolaan data transaksi yang ada masih belum terjamin keamanannya. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan yang ada, perlu dibuatkan sistem informasi laporan keuangan untuk membantu petugas bendahara dalam proses penginputan dan pencatatan laporan keuangan pada SMK Negeri 1 Ende.
Os benefícios do uso do PECS por pessoas autistas: um estudo bibliográfico
Authors: Barbosa Thamires de Lima , Dutra Flávia Barbosa da Silva 
Published: February 2023

O Sistema de Comunicação Alternativa e Ampliada denominado PECS é um método de comunicação alternativa utilizado em programas de intervenção para indivíduos com autismo que não desenvolveram a linguagem ou que apresentam déficits na fala. Neste estudo, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica por meio das bases de dados: SciELO, PePSIC e banco de teses e dissertações CAPES, com o intuito de responder a seguinte questão: Que benefícios o PECS tem trazido às pessoas com autismo? A delimitação de datas foi entre os anos de 2000 e 2016 e só foram analisados estudos científicos brasileiros que descrevessem sobre a intervenção do PECS e seus respectivos resultados em pessoas autistas. Foram encontrados 23 estudos científicos usando as palavras-chave: “PECS”, “Comunicação alternativa”, “Autismo e PECS” em qualquer campo, no entanto somente oito destes estudos atenderam aos critérios da pesquisa. Os resultados demonstraram que o PECS promove a comunicação e reduz os comportamentos típicos do autismo, contudo, o baixo número de estudos em três bases de dados no período de dezesseis anos demonstra que a utilização do PECS em pessoas autistas é um tema escasso no Brasil que necessita de mais estudos empíricos que demonstrem os efeitos e as experiências deste método.

Este artigo procurou analisar de forma inicial os impactos da ausência ou presença de infraestrutura de saneamento básico para a propagação e disseminação dos casos de Covid-19 na região metropolitana de Belém, capital do Pará. Para isso, foi adotada uma metodologia baseada na análise exploratória e análise de conteúdo, utilizando trabalhos científicos já produzidos acerca do tema em questão. Foi possível observar que referente à taxa de mortalidade por Covid-19 na região metropolitana de Belém, o maior número de óbitos foi registrado em Belém e em Castanhal, o menor número de óbitos em Marituba. Os demais municípios apresentaram uma taxa de mortalidade que variou entre 4 e 5,9%. O alto índice de infecção, se comparada com os demais municípios, pode ter relação com a ausência de serviços de coleta e tratamento de esgoto na periferia, com o elevado fluxo de pessoas nas áreas mais populosas, deficiência no atendimento básico de saúde e/ou desrespeito aos protocolos de prevenção contra a Covid-19. Aliado a outros fatores, a ausência de saneamento básico tem permitido a propagação da Covid-19 em bairros mais pobres das pequenas, médias e grandes cidades brasileiras. Estas observações também demonstram a importância de estudos mais aprofundados sobre a temática abordada neste artigo.
Autonomía y coacción. Una aproximación crítica desde otras miradas a los planteamientos realizados por Adela Cortina en ¿Para qué sirve realmente la ética?
Authors: Hernández Wilmer A. 
Published: February 2023

Based on the concern of Adela Cortina and Federico Nietzsche about the difficulty, opportunity, convenience, incapacity and even the danger of acting according to rational parameters and universal principles, the document analyzes the possibilities of autonomous decision of individuals, taking into account the institutional or organizational context and the regulations that capitalism imposes on a global level. From this reflection, the relative character of the value systems and the local human relations close to each individual are recognized. They validate or invalidate one or another type of behavior beyond the individual and the universal. The incursion and permanence of universal principles proper to neoliberal rationality and classical ethics are also explored. Therefore, in practice, human beings are obliged to compete with others, without breaking legal rules and universal values, to access social and economic capital that allows them to enter a particular lifestyle, an identity, constituted and represented with products and services that the market offers.
A partir de la preocupación de Adela Cortina y Federico Nietzsche por la dificultad, oportunidad, conveniencia, incapacidad e incluso el peligro de actuar conforme a parámetros racionales y principios universales, se analizan las posibilidades de decisión autónoma de los individuos, teniendo en cuenta el contexto institucional u organizacional y las regulaciones que el capitalismo impone a nivel global. A partir de esta reflexión se reconoce el carácter por completo relativo de los sistemas de valores y de las relaciones humanas locales y próximas a cada individuo, que validan o invalidan uno u otro tipo de comportamiento más allá de lo individual y lo universal. También se explora la incursión y arraigamiento de principios universales propios de la racionalidad neoliberal y de la ética clásica. Se tiene, por ende, que en la práctica los seres humanos están obligados a competir unos con otros, sin quebrantar reglas legales y valores universales, para acceder al capital social y económico que les permita ingresa a un estilo de vida particular, una identidad, constituida y representada con productos y servicios que el mercado ofrece.
Humanidad doliente: la violencia contemporánea en la obra de Eduardo Nicol
Authors: Aguirre Moreno Arturo 
Published: February 2023

This article proposes that the meditation on contemporary violence, in the Eduardo Nicol’s works, is part of a broad process of philosophical reflection of three decades, which questions the present and the future of humanity. Violence, for Nicol, is the display of a special rationality, born in Modernity, which he calls “force majeure reason” (razón de fuerza mayor) that is a change of life regime in the contemporary human being, sometimes to the basic need for survival, utility and a network of forcedness that reduces possibilities and freedom. In this way, the article traces in Nicol´s work the conformation —from the notion, to the idea and the conceptual framework— of violence as a disposition, act and system. Political regulation, hate and intersubjective violence, hostility and war in a global world are the focus of this collaboration.
Este artículo propone que la meditación sobre la violencia contemporánea, en la obra de Eduardo Nicol, está inscrita en un amplio proceso de reflexión filosófica de tres décadas, que interroga sobre el presente y el porvenir de la humanidad. La violencia, para Nicol, es el despliegue de una racionalidad peculiar —gestada en la Modernidad— por disolvente de la verdad, a la cual él llama “razón de fuerza mayor”. De este modo, el artículo rastrea en la obra de este filósofo la conformación —desde la noción, hasta la idea y marco conceptual— de la violencia en tanto disposición, acto y sistema. La regulación política, el odio y la violencia intersubjetiva, la hostilidad y la guerra en un mundo global son el foco de atención de este artículo.
Intrasession repeatability and agreement of a new method to measure the foveal fixation axis
Authors: Garcia Espinilla Oscar , Sanchez Irene , Martin Raul 
Published: February 2023

Purpose
Ophthalmic lens adaptation, particularly with progressive addition lenses, requires accurate measurements of the patient nasopupillary distance (NPD) and interpupillary distance (IPD), which are usually collected using the pupil centre as a reference. However, differences between the pupil centre and visual or foveal axis could induce some subsidiary effects of correcting lenses. This study aimed to assess the intrasession repeatability of a new prototype (Ergofocus®; Lentitech, Barakaldo, Spain) that can measure the foveal fixation axis (FFA) distance and assess the agreement with the NPD measurements collected using a traditional method (frame ruler).

Methods
The FFA at far and near distances was measured three consecutive times in 39 healthy volunteers to determine the intrasession repeatability according to the British Standards Institute and International Organization for Standardization. Additionally, the FFA and NPD (standard frame ruler) were measured in 71 healthy volunteers and compared using Bland–Altman analysis. Two blinded experienced practitioners conducted each FFA and NPD measurement.

Results
The FFA measurements showed acceptable repeatability at far distances (right eye (RE): Sw = 1.16 ± 0.76 mm and coefficient of variation (CV) = 3.92 ± 2.51%; left eye (LE) Sw = 1.11 ± 0.79 mm and CV = 3.76 ± 2.51%) and at near distances (RE: Sw = 0.97 ± 0.85 mm and CV = 3.52 ± 3.02%; LE: Sw = 1.17 ± 0.96 mm and CV = 4.54 ± 3.72%). Additionally, agreement with the NPD showed large differences at far distances (RE: −2.15 ± 2.34, LoA = −6.73 to 2.43 mm (P < 0.001); LE: −0.61 ± 2.62, LoA = −5.75 to 4.53 mm (P = 0.052)) and near distances (RE: −3.08 ± 2.80, LoA −8.57 to 2.42 mm (P < 0.001); LE: −2.97 ± 3.97, LoA: −10.75 to 4.80 mm (P < 0.001)).

Conclusions
FFA measurements showed clinically acceptable repeatability at both far and near distances. Agreement with the NPD measured using a standard frame ruler showed significant differences, suggesting that both measurements are not interchangeable in clinical practice to prescribe and center ophthalmic lenses. Further research is necessary to assess the impact of FFA measurement in ophthalmic lens prescriptions.

Authors: Moral Emel , Göde Fethiye , Bayram Okan 
Published: February 2023

Aims: In this study, biochar and magnetic biochar were obtained from loquat seeds. The obtained biochars were used to remove methyl blue from the aqueous solution.
Study Design: The effects of adsorbent substance dosage, pH, initial methyl blue concentration, time and temperature on the adsorption process were investigated.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Applied and Natural Sciences, Süleyman Demirel University, between February 2022 and February 2023.
Methodology: In this study, batch adsorption method, which is an easily applicable and common method, was used to remove dye from aqueous media. Modified loquat seeds were characterized by FTIR, BET analysis. The adsorption process was investigated in terms of kinetics, equilibrium and thermodynamics.
Results: The maximum adsorption capacity was 31.746 mg/g for biochar and 67.568 mg/g for magnetic biochar. According to the kinetic data, the adsorption rate is pseudo-second-order. According to the thermodynamic data, negative ΔG values indicated that adsorption of methyl blue occurred spontaneously. According to negative ΔH values, the adsorption process was exothermic. When the adsorption isotherms were examined, it was seen that loquat biochar and modified loquat biochar were suitable for the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
Conclusion: Modified loquat seeds can be used to remove methyl blue dye from aqueous solutions. The adsorbents used can be modified with different chemicals to increase the adsorption capacity and contribute to the literature.

Authors: Odit Emmanuel , Okumu Bismarck , Lajul Wilfred , Opio George , Omara Denis 
Published: February 2023

Background: Teacher effectiveness is referred to as a teacher's ability to produce higher-than-expected gains in students' standardized test scores. Teachers are expected to become effective and display high job performance in terms of learners' academic achievement and growth. The quality of Education and learners' academic achievement in Lira district remains low which is an indicator of teacher ineffectiveness. It is upon this background that this study aimed to explore the effects of school internal factors on teacher effectiveness in secondary schools in Lira District, Uganda.
Methodology: A mixed research method was used in which 263 individuals were sampled using a correlational research design. A purposive sampling technique was used to identify head teachers, District Education Officer (DEO) and District Inspector of schools (DIS) while simple random sampling was used to identify teachers, members of the school Board of Governors (BOG) and Parent Teachers’ Associations (PTA). Both interviews and questionnaires were used for data collection. The relationship between the variables was determined using Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient (r) and qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis by identifying themes as they appear.
Results: The result showed a strong positive correlation between school internal factors and teacher effectiveness in secondary schools in Lira district (r= 0.751, P<0.05), implying that the school internal factors which are the predictor variables significantly account for the teacher effectiveness although they account for only 56% (R2 = 0.564, p<0.05). The qualitative interviews held with the head teachers, DEO, DIS and focused group discussions held with BOG and PTA also revealed that school internal factors influence teacher effectiveness.
Conclusion: The study revealed that there is a significant strong positive relationship between school internal factors and teacher effectiveness in secondary schools in Lira district. This implies that increasing or decreasing school internal factors in secondary schools results in a considerable increase or decrease in teacher effectiveness. Further studies should be done on other factors that might influence teacher effectiveness other than school internal factors alone and similar studies should be conducted in primary (elementary) schools and higher institutions of learning.

Authors: Shahniza Saiin Sebrina , Firdaus Ismail Mohd , Ismail Roslan , Abdul Razak Sabrina 
Published: February 2023

Aims: Soils and plant densities are two of the major factors affecting sweet corn growth and yield. Although many worldwide studies were done to evaluate the effect of these factors on sweet corn, it is still necessary to do more study in this area because environmental factors will give significant effect to growth and yield of sweet corn. The objective of this study is to assess yield optimization through different plant densities for different type of soils for sweet corn (Zea mays L.) cultivation.
Study Design: The experiment was carried out from February to May 2018 using split-split plot design with four replications. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with probability value of @ 0.05 using LSD was used to analyze the obtained data. Regression analyses were performed using Nonlinear Regression Model (NLIN Procedure); Logistic Growth Model y=A/(1+be-cx) and their rate of change was calculated using its derivate, dy/dx = (Abce-cx)/(1+be-cx)2.
Methodology: A variety of sweet corn seed Akik SC422 at (i) four soils which were riverine soil (Tanah Merah, Kelantan), BRIS (Bachok, Kelantan), peat (Simpang Renggam, Johor) and sedentary soil (UPM, Serdang, Selangor) assigned as the main plots with (ii) 1 and 2 row(s) per bed plant arrangements as subplots at (iii) 25 cm and 50 cm planting distances formed as sub-subplots.
Results: Interaction between peat at 2-row per bed plant arrangement at 25 cm planting distance produced the highest potential plant height while peat at 1-row per bed plant arrangement at 50 cm planting distance the best in highest potential in stem diameter. The interaction between peat with 1-row per bed plant arrangement at 50 cm planting distance; low plant density produced the highest in cob weight, cob length, cob diameter, thousand kernel’s weight and total sugar content. This was reflected by higher growth rates of photosynthesis rate, leaf area per plant and relative chlorophyll content of each individually plant. However, the interaction between peat with 2-row per bed plant arrangement at 25 cm planting distance; high plant density produced the highest in quantity per hectare.
Conclusion: Results of this study confirms that significant differences in the plant growth, physiological attributes and yield components of sweet corn grown on different soil types, plant arrangements and planting distances.

Authors: Jat Seema , Bhati D. S. , Choudhary Rekha , Rana Priyanka 
Published: February 2023

Aims: To study about the adaptation and mitigation measures initiated by the farmers against climate change in local conditions.
Study Design: Ex-post-facto research design was followed.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at Department of Agricultural Extension and Communication, Bhagwant University, Ajmer during 2019-2022.
Methodology: The study was conducted in Aravalli Hill Zone of Rajasthan to understand adaptation & mitigation measures employed by farmers to the adverse effects of climate change. In the investigation region, 240 farmers were randomly selected.
Results: In the region 95.83 per cent of the farmers pursued that soil and water conservation was the most widely practiced strategy. Whereas, almost three fourths of the respondents were practicing adoption of drought tolerant and early maturing crop varieties were (75%), use of small-scale irrigation (73.75%), enhancing participatory forest management (73.33%) and afforestation/ reforestation (72.91%), while (70. 83%) practiced diversification of small ruminant animals and changing cropping calendar of agricultural activities. In the constants of the maize crop adaptation measures against excess rainfall was 70.83 per cent of delayed sowing dates; this change in sowing date was adopted by the farmers and adaptation measures in maize crop against deficit rainfall observed by the investigator that 69.58 per cent of the farmers found that delayed sowing dates had affected them.
Conclusion: The local people employed different strategies to adapt the adverse effects of climate change, there were constraints that limit the farmer’s adaptation strategies i. e. lack of financial support, lack of climate information and lack of technical skills. Therefore, the local decision makers such as agricultural sector, microfinance sector, and meteorological agency should provide farmers credit access and climate information to reduce shortage of finance and lack of climate information. There is also need of providing training to the farmers on improved agricultural technology and market access to enhance their climate resilience conditions.
Modeling COVID-19 Pandemic by the \(\lambda\)ISR Volterra-Fredholm Integral Equation: A Case Study of South Africa
Authors: Warnapala Yajni , Gilbert Kate 
Published: February 2023

Inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic, this paper investigates the feasibility of obtaining good convergence results for a nonhomogeneous Volterra-Fredholm integral equation model of the second kind. Volterra-Fredholm integral equations are often used to model infection and recovery of diseases in a population and can be used to model a pandemic or an endemic. This model uses a Volterra-Fredholm integral equation of the second kind to predict the number of individuals recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa. The integral model was approximated by using the Gaussian Quadrature Method. The \(\lambda\)ISR model accounts for many variables of the pandemic including the number of initially infected individuals I0, susceptible individuals S0, and removed individuals R0. It also accounts for the initial recovery rate \(\gamma\), the infectivity of the virus \(\beta\) , removal rate \(\mu\) , and the total population of South Africa N. In addition to these, we also considered blood type S (x), and the rh factor \(\lambda\)(x) .
The model was constructed in “person-days,” which is the combined variable of time (t, days) and the number of individuals (x). Specific blood types and presence of the rh factor have been shown to have varying susceptibility to infection and severity of infection (requiring intubation), therefore this was an important parameter for this model [1,2].
