PENGELOLAAN KOLEKSI MUSEUM ZOOLOGICUM BOGORIENSE (MZB) TAHUN 2022

Since the integration of LIPI into BRIN in 2021, the Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense (MZB), which is managed by the coordinator of the zoological collection assisted by 20 collection technician staffs, has been transferred to the Directorate of Scientific Collections Management. The process of integration and management transfer does not change the main duties and functions of MZB as the national depository for zoological specimen collections. In addition to managing collections, researchers frequently ask MZB staff for assistance during field research and teaching collection management courses to students, teaching staff, and regional museum directors. The management of the MZB collection is described in a scientific publication for the first time. We hope that this documentation will continue so that museum management science can advance and assist the scientific community, particularly in Indonesia.

(Supporting) Writing Qualitatively: Errantry of Embodied Relational Writing

We write collectively and collaboratively to make more visible writing qualitatively and supporting writing qualitatively, both of which we approach as the process of embodied relational writing, to ourselves and to Others. We even consider that writing qualitatively always has an invisible prefix of supporting before it since the practice is not possible without multiple supports. From our different positionalities as a Black doctoral candidate, a white writing center director, and an Asian faculty, we write a collective autoethnography as an inquiry to examine what we do, how we do it, and what it produces when we are supporting (and) writing qualitatively in our private, teaching-oriented, regional, predominantly white institutional context where doctoral programs offer only one qualitative research course. What our writing reveals is that supporting writing qualitatively is possible only when we live/work together—stay long enough—in that in-between space of you know that I will not understand and you pray for me to understand. In this space, we get entangled with each other’s multiple relationships with our selves, Others, and errantries, which, in turn, changes each of us, our relation, and this writing.

Reform and Ideological Practice of Operations Research Course in Management and Engineering with The Integration of CDIO and PYTHON

It is pointed out in the National Education Conference and the National Conference on Ideological and Political Work in Colleges and Universities that colleges and universities should apply for ideological-political courses throughout the whole process of higher education, which provides incentives for deepening the reform and ideological-political practice of management engineering and operations research courses. Based on the integration of the CDIO teaching concept and Python and the immersive teaching process of the operations research course, this paper designs the teaching reform and practice of student-oriented management engineering and operations research course, which leads students to realize the algorithm design, program implementation, and visualization of operations research modeling and machine learning step by step. On this basis, based on the inventory management and its expansion model in operational research, taking grain supply chain management as the case object, this paper explores the strategic deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the state to realize the dynamic balance of grain supply and demand at a high level and deal with the uncertainty of the external environment with the security and stability of grain supply, from the perspective of variable cost, supply capacity, consumption demand, holding cost and shortage cost in the model. The research results are conducive to strengthening students' problem analysis and modeling ability, programming, and in-depth analysis, and have theoretical and practical value.

Engaging Undergraduate Nursing Students in Collaborative Research.

Nurses are expected to base practice on evidence from research, which requires an understanding of the research process. However, baccalaureate nursing students may find research courses uninteresting or feel unprepared to conduct research. Participation in experiential research projects may affect their research attitudes, knowledge, and skills. Nursing investigators engaged nursing students in an experiential, active learning research project centered on the effects of pet interaction involving university students. Faculty mentored and partnered with nursing students, immersing them in all research processes. Students confirmed that participation in the project enhanced their understanding of research, improved their clinical and communication skills, and fostered professional growth. Students presented results in a scientific poster at the University's research event. Collaborative faculty-student research projects enhance students' interest in and appreciation of evidence-based research, and support professional development, confidence in assuming research roles, and feelings of connection with faculty, each other, and the university.

Innovation in leadership education: inquiry-based pedagogy

PurposeThe purpose of our research is to better understand inquiry-based pedagogy in the context of leadership education. Specifically, we sought to learn about how leadership learning is characterized in an immersive inquiry course, and how inquiry-based pedagogy is experienced by students engaged in interdisciplinary leadership learning.Design/methodology/approachWe used a case study approach as an overarching methodology. The research methods employed to collect data were World Cafe and episodic narrative interview. Further, we used collocation analysis and systematic text condensation as analytical strategies to interpret data.FindingsOur findings led us to four primary conclusions: (1) inquiry-based learning helps to foster an inquiry mindset amongst leadership education students; (2) the challenges and tensions associated with inquiry-based learning are worth the learning gains for leadership students; (3) the opportunity to learn in relationship is beneficial for leadership development outcomes and (4) students’ experiences of inquiry-based learning in leadership education often included instances of transformation.Research limitations/implicationsLimitations of the research were: (1) it is a case study situated within a unique, particular social and educational context; (2) demographic data were not collected from participants, so results cannot be disaggregated based on particular demographic markers and (3) the small sample size involved in the study makes it impossible to generalize across a broad population.Practical implicationsThis research has enabled a deep understanding of structural and relational supports that can enable effective inquiry-based learning in leadership education. It also offers evidence to support institutional shifts to inquiry-based pedagogy in leadership education.Social implicationsOur research demonstrates that use of inquiry-based pedagogy in leadership education has long-lasting positive effects on students' capacity for applied leadership practice. Consequently, participants in this type of leadership learning are better positioned to effectively lead social change that is pressing in our current global context.Originality/valueThere is scant (if any) published research that has focused on using inquiry-based pedagogies in leadership education. This research makes a significant contribution to the scholarship of leadership education.

Improvement pre-treatment technology of meat for the preparation in restaurants

The article examines the issue of the use of local and tropical raw materials, and spices in the technology of pre-processing of meat, and the quality and safety indicators of meat semi-finished products in the process of technological processing. The use of pineapple juice in pickling technology makes it possible to break down proteins and fats due to the enzyme bromelain, which destroys pathogenic bacteria in the intestine; promotes muscle relaxation, and relieves spasms. In addition, the juice of these tropical fruits is rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, vitamins A, PP, and group B. Of the minerals, it contains the most potassium and sodium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and iron. The most attractive substance included in the composition of pineapple juice is considered to be plum berries rich in organic acids, such as citric and malic, contain vitamins of group B, as well as PP, A, and E, a small content of ascorbic acid and pectin. Regarding the use of cherry juice in pickling technology, its value lies in the high content of organic acids and sugars, tannins, dietary fibers and pectin, vitamins A, E, C, PP, B vitamins, calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron Cherry juice is the most useful and valuable, the level of nutrients and antioxidants in it is much higher than in the juices of other fruits and berries. Dark berries are especially rich in useful substances and vitamins. The chemical composition of fruit raw materials makes it possible to predict that the selected juices have preservative and antioxidant properties and therefore can be effective components of marinades for meat semi-finished products. The purpose of the work is to study the influence of pickling on the quality and safety indicators of meat semi-finished products in the process of technological processing using local and tropical berries, and spicy plants. 10 different versions of compositions for marinating pork have been developed. In the course of experimental research, marinade formulations and the duration of the marinating process were established, which provided the best taste qualities of the finished product. It was determined that the greatest loss of proteins was observed in the control sample with acetic acid, and the lowest in samples with marinade based on undiluted juices. In the samples of semi-finished products based on diluted juices, protein loss is lower than in the control, which ensures a higher biological value of products from them. The moisture content increases in all pickled semi-finished products, the intensity of the process depends on the concentration of fruit juices in the marinades.

Coherent diffractive imaging with twisted X-rays: Principles, applications, and outlook

Recent technological breakthroughs in synchrotron and x-ray free electron laser facilities have revolutionized nanoscale structural and dynamic analyses in condensed matter systems. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the advancements in coherent scattering and diffractive imaging techniques, which are now at the forefront of exploring materials science complexities. These techniques, notably Bragg coherent diffractive imaging and x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy, x-ray magnetic dichroism, and x-ray correlation analysis leverage beam coherence to achieve volumetric three-dimensional imaging at unprecedented sub-nanometer resolutions and explore dynamic phenomena within sub-millisecond timeframes. Such capabilities are critical in understanding and developing advanced materials and technologies. Simultaneously, the emergence of chiral crystals—characterized by their unique absence of standard inversion, mirror, or other roto-inversion symmetries—presents both challenges and opportunities. These materials exhibit distinctive interactions with light, leading to phenomena such as molecular optical activity, chiral photonic waveguides, and valley-specific light emissions, which are pivotal in the burgeoning fields of photonic and spintronic devices. This review elucidates how novel x-ray probes can be leveraged to unravel these properties and their implications for future technological applications. A significant focus of this review is the exploration of new avenues in research, particularly the shift from conventional methods to more innovative approaches in studying these chiral materials. Inspired by structured optical beams, the potential of coherent scattering techniques utilizing twisted x-ray beams is examined. This promising direction not only offers higher spatial resolution but also opens the door to previously unattainable insights in materials science. By contextualizing these advancements within the broader scientific landscape and highlighting their practical applications, this review aims to chart a course for future research in this rapidly evolving field.

STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND CLASS SATISFACTION IN AN UNDERGRADUATE MARKETING COURSE: A 5-YEAR LONGITUDINAL STUDY

ABSTRACT This study examined the impact of student engagement on satisfaction with an undergraduate marketing research course. Student engagement consisted of three dimensions in this study, namely physical engagement, emotional engagement, and cognitive engagement. Flow theory was used to examine the potential impact of the disruption of student learning flow on student engagement and student learning outcomes (i.e. student class satisfaction) using longitudinal data from before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data were collected over 10 semesters at an American public university. The data analysis results indicated that physical engagement was negatively associated with student class satisfaction, while emotional engagement and cognitive engagement exhibited a positive association. In addition, physical engagement had a stronger influence on student class satisfaction during the pandemic than before the pandemic, while there was no significant difference in the impact of emotional and cognitive engagement between the periods. Results imply that instructors need to engage students emotionally and intellectually in activities that do not make them work too hard.

Implementing an S/U Undergraduate Research Course in a College of Agricultural and Life Sciences

Undergraduate research experiences provide engaging learning opportunities but are often not formally assessed for gains in knowledge and skills. This study examined undergraduate research assessment practices and the implementation of a satisfactory/unsatisfactory (S/U) research course in all academic units within a college of agricultural and life sciences. During the 2013-2014 academic year, students registered for a letter-graded research course, and supervising faculty were surveyed regarding assessment practices. Based on survey responses, an S/U 0-3 credit research course and syllabus template were implemented and subsequently evaluated in the 2015 and 2020 fall semesters. At baseline, most students did not receive a syllabus (87%) but were informed of expectations (89%); grades were determined by attendance and participation, findings confirmed by faculty respondents. Following implementation, 58% agreed or strongly agreed that they were more likely to participate in research with a 0-credit option (78%) and that having research on their transcript was important (89%). By 2020, 64% of respondents preferred a 0-credit option. Receiving a syllabus continued to be uncommon. S/U-grading of undergraduate research may be most appropriate for participatory-based assessment; however, steps are needed to promote the 0-credit option and ensure syllabi use for transparency of expectations and assessment criteria.

강의계획서에 기반한 의과대학 교육과정 분석

This study aims to analyze the syllabi of all courses in the A Medical School curriculum, including basic medicine, preclinical, clinical practice, medical humanities and social sciences, and student research programs. The purpose is to evaluate the appropriateness of each component and utilize the results as a basis for curriculum improvement. The main research findings are as follows. First, the curriculum objectives present clinical competence, competence as a medical scientist and educator, and competence as a professional and leader in order to achieve the graduation outcomes of the medical school. However, there are not many courses dealing with professional and leadership competencies in the basic medicine and preclinical education courses, so they need to be strengthened through curriculum improvement. Second, various teaching methods such as lectures, PBL, practice, discussion, and presentation are utilized. Appropriate teaching methods are used according to the characteristics of each course. Third, student assessment is conducted through written exams, assignments, practice, and learning attitude to evaluate knowledge, skills, and attitude. Written exams, learning attitude, and attendance are mostly included in all courses. Fourth, feedback is an essential element of competency-based education. A Medical School plans feedback for each course, and the feedback plan was more than 80%. When feedback was planned as a group, it mainly consisted of quizzes and problem solving, and the proportion of individual feedback was high in the clinical practice and student research courses. Although most courses have feedback plans, it is necessary to specify the timing and method of feedback. Through the results of the study, it was confirmed that the A Medical School curriculum has a foundation for competency-based education, but some courses need improvement. It is expected that the quality of medical education will be improved if the syllabi are appropriately established and implemented in the future.

Marketing technologies of promoting products on the internet

In the course of the present research the authors conducted a literary review of 16 scientific publications, including 2 textbooks, 2 monographs, 3 articles in international journals Scopus, 4 articles in journals recommended by CQASHE of MSHE of the RK, 5 articles in the database Google Scholar. As an analysis of the literature shows, the issues of tools and technologies for promotion in the Internet environment remain open and debatable. One of the most important digital solutions for product promotion are virtual exhibitions, which, however, have not been sufficiently studied and reflected in modern scientific literature on marketing. Therefore, virtual exhibitions are the subject of study in this paper. The purpose of the study is to develop practical recommendations for organizing and holding virtual exhibitions as an effective tool for the successful promotion of goods and services on the market. The main directions of the research are the study of world, Russian and domestic experience in carrying out online exhibition activities for its use in the activities of Kazakh enterprises. The idea of the study is to create a virtual platform in Kazakhstan to assist national firms in holding virtual exhibitions. The results of the study are that the authors have developed a model of marketing technologies for promoting products on the Internet, and offered practical recommendations for the creation and operation of a specialized exhibition company for organizing virtual exhibitions. Kazakh companies can use the authors’ recommendations for holding virtual exhibitions to successfully promote their products. In addition, the results of the study will be used to teach courses in «Digital Marketing» and «Marketing Communications».

“Defense of Ukraine” degree program for future school teachers: a new element of ukrainian higher education

The article examines various aspects of professional training of future teachers of the “Defense of Ukraine” course for effective legal education among students. The key aspects in this process are the formation of practical skills, legal culture, socio-psychological and methodological readiness of teachers. Emphasis is placed on the use of modern technologies and interactive methods in pedagogical universities to develop legal thinking and patriotic values. Several theoretical methods have been used in the course of research. In particular, the article extensivеly refers to empirical research methods, such as observation, comparison, and monitoring. Modern challenges in the field of national security of Ukraine require active participation of teachers in the formation of legal awareness of students. It is emphasised that successful teacher training requires not only knowledge of law, but also taking into account of individual characteristics and application of innovative pedagogical approaches. In general, the article points out the importance of providing teachers with the necessary competencies to educate Ukrainian citizens who consciously observe their duties and execrise their rights (freedoms).

Intentional destruction or damage of objects of plant life as a crime under the law of Ukraine and other European countries: cross-jurisdictional analysis

The key goal of this research paper is to analyze the specific features of legislative construction of Article 245 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, in particular, the method of statutory reflection of the elements of the subject matter and subjective side of this criminal wrongful act used therein, and also to study the relevant European experience. This will enable to develop proposals aimed at improving the provisions of current national criminal legislation, which are intended to guarantee the protection of flora by means of Ukrainian criminal law. In the course of relevant comparative legal research and formulation of conclusions, the author used a number of different scientific methods of cognition, in particular: modeling, comparative, dialectical, systemic as well as statistical methods. A conclusion has been reached that the newer version of the criminal law norm under study should, firstly, retain criminal liability for trespass to any type of vegetation, and not only violations relating to forests, and secondly, within its framework, liability for a) encroachment not only on green spaces around settlements, along railways, but also on any other green spaces, including those not located in appropriate places; b) destruction/damage of vegetation on lands of any category from among those provided for by the Land Code of Ukraine. In addition, the authors argue that it is necessary to establish penalties for intentional and negligent destruction of flora that differ in severity, which is explained by the significantly different degree of public harmfulness.

Environmentally safe technology of waste processing of galvanic production

It is known that waste is difficult to purify using existing reagent methods to the standards of the MPC. In addition, the formed sediments contain poorly soluble hydroxy compounds of heavy metals and gypsum, which makes it impossible to dispose of iron- and copper-containing electroplating sludges. The purpose of the study was to study the possibility of ion exchange separate and simultaneous extraction of iron and copper ions from acidic solutions of pickling and copper plating in galvanic production to obtain ferrites. In the course of research, the highly acidic cation exchange resin Dowex HCR S/S in the H+ form was chosen as the cationite. The choice of a strongly acidic cationite is justified, based on the fact that cationites of this type are able to easily lose hydrogen ions due to their displacement from the cationite matrix by other cations of the solution. The sorption processes of iron (II) and copper (II) ions were carried out under dynamic conditions. In the course of experimental studies, it was shown that with an increase in the concentration of sulfuric acid, the full exchangeable dynamic capacity of the cationite significantly decreases both during the sorption of iron ions and during the sorption of copper ions. For iron-containing solutions, full dynamic exchange capacity decreases from 1.39 g-eq/dm3 in the absence of H2SO4 in the initial solution and decreases to 0.3-0.46 g-eq/dm3 at a concentration of sulfuric acid at the level of 1-3 g/dm3. An increase in the concentration of iron (II) ions leads to a significant increase in full dynamic exchange capacity, even with a concentration of sulfuric acid of 8 - 13 g/dm3, full dynamic exchange capacity was at the level of 1.35 g-eq/dm3, which corresponds to the level of sorption of diluted solutions even in the absence of acid. However, the total concentration shows that the efficiency of sorption of metals from acidic solutions remains quite high and increases with the increase of the initial total content of sorbed ions. The main indicator used when choosing an ion exchange method is the possibility of effective regeneration of the cation exchange material. When using 5% solution of sulfuric acid already at the specific consumption of the regeneration solution, it was possible to achieve a degree of regeneration at the level of 95-98%, and when using 10% solution, the degree of regeneration reached 100%. According to the developed technological scheme, regeneration solutions are processed by precipitation into magnetite in a ferritizer reactor. To remove iron ions from concentrated iron-containing regeneration solutions by the ferrite method in order to obtain ferrite particles (magnetite) with maximum magnetic properties, a mixture of Fe (II) and Fe (III) sulfates was used with their concentration ratio K = [Fe2+]/[Fe3+] = 0.5, as a stable relationship between magnetic properties and sediment volume was noted. At maximum magnetic properties, the sediment volume is minimal, and vice versa. Obtaining highly dispersed magnetic particles from a mixture of ferric and ferric sulfates by precipitating them with 10% NaOH solution during heating allows to significantly reduce the duration of the process, simplify it and increase the productivity of the equipment. To obtain magnetic particles of copper ferrites from regeneration solutions by precipitation with alkali at normal temperatures, the concentration ratio K1 = [Fe2+]/[Cu2+] = 3.15-7.76 should be maintained. With an increase in the concentration of Cu2+ ions, there is an increase in the period of crystallization of the obtained sediments and their acquisition of magnetic properties. The formed ferrite material can be used for environmental purposes as a valuable raw material for carbon monoxide neutralization catalysts, as part of alkaline cement for concrete products, or sent for safe disposal. The obtained results on the application of ion-exchange extraction of iron and copper ions from acidic solutions of galvanic production are expedient as the first stage of complex ecologically safe processing of galvanic wastes with the production of ferritic materials for industrial use.

The 60 Years of Queer and Trans Activism and Care Project: Learning to Conduct Archival Research and Write Dramatic Verbatim Monologues

This reflective essay describes a research course which provided undergraduate students with an opportunity to conduct archival research on six decades of queer, trans, Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (QTBIPOC) activism and care that have challenged heteronormativity, cis-normativity, and racism in Canada. While there are many ways to share the findings of archival research, we chose to teach our students how to create dramatic verbatim monologues as the arts-based research method of verbatim theatre required students to use the words of activists themselves to explain why a particular moment of activism and care was needed. Students attended three different workshops during the full-year course from September 2022 to March 2023: a workshop in conducting archival research, a workshop about centring themselves and their communities in their research, and a workshop in verbatim monologue writing. Here, we reflect upon what these workshops taught us about archival research, working with Indigenous archival material, and rupturing systems of oppression in our own bodies. At the end of the course, students reported their take-aways from the course. This included a new understanding that it was possible to conduct research on topics they felt passionate about and that theatre-based research provided them with a way to express the findings of their research in forms other than writing essays. This new-found freedom was life-changing.

Specific features of obtaining and using electronic evidence in criminal proceedings

The relevance and importance of this research is due to the fact that scientific and technological progress and rapid development of information technology in all spheres of public life have significantly influenced the emergence of new types of criminal offences. Criminals are using computer systems and other portable devices to commit unlawful acts with increasing frequency. Today, many criminal offences are being committed with the help of information technology around the world, ranging from simple online fraud to the threat of a territorial act. Therefore, one of the ways to record (document) such illegal activities effectively is to obtain (collect) electronic evidence by law enforcement agencies in criminal proceedings. In this regard, the key role is played by evidence, which helps to form an evidence base that makes it possible to notify a person of suspicion, send an indictment to the court and make a final court decision on the guilt (innocence) of a person in committing a particular criminal offence. Achievement of this objective undoubtedly necessitates a specific legal procedure for seizure of electronic evidence in criminal proceedings, which is not yet clearly defined in terms of its collection, leading to numerous cases of courts declaring such evidence inadmissible.
 In the course of the scientific research, the author of the article analyses the views of scholars on the interpretation of the concept of electronic evidence; provides the legislative interpretation of this term (unlike the CPC of Ukraine, other procedural codes enshrine the concept of electronic evidence); studies the case law on the issue of electronic evidence being admissible/inadmissible; and identifies the main features of electronic evidence, etc.
 Given the fact that the Russian Federation commits war crimes on the territory of Ukraine on a daily basis, the author states the need to collect and record evidence of such crimes from open sources, which will further ensure the prosecution of the perpetrators.
 In the course of studying the specific features of obtaining and using electronic evidence in criminal proceedings, the author applied general scientific and special scientific methods, in particular, dialectical, formal and logical, and comparative legal methods. The interrelated use of these methods allowed for a comprehensive study, where each of these methods was used at a certain stage of the examination of the specific features of obtaining and using electronic evidence in criminal proceedings.
