Manuskrip Arab sebagai Argumen Islam Asia Tenggara

This article is a critical review of Peacock's book on “Arabic Literary Culture in Southeast Asia in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries”. The book reflects the author's attention to the marginalization of the Arabic texts that are composed in the 17th and 18th century Southeast Asia, or for a Southeast Asian audience, and the Arabic texts that were read and copied in the region. Peacock based his analysis on a corpus of Arabic manuscripts in Southeast Asia from different collections in Banten, Jakarta National Library, and others. Peacock argues that in term of Islamic studies, scholars should not regard Southeast Asian Islam as peripheral, regardless its geographical position remotely from the Middle East. One of Peacock’s important arguments is that the royal court became the major centre for the writing and reading of an indigenous Southeast Asian Arabic literature before nineteenth century.

Integrating Intercultural Competence into a Neuroscience Curriculum through a Short-Term Study Abroad Program.

We sought to enrich our neuroscience curriculum by developing a study abroad program that would address curricular goals and requirements at several levels. "Neuroscience and Technology in Germany" was designed to include a diversity of participants, integrate intercultural competence in participants, fulfill university core curriculum requirements, build on the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) foundation of our major, and fulfill major electives. We also hoped that it would serve as a synthetic experience allowing students to integrate foundational coursework with novel ideas and real-world research applications. We developed an itinerary that balanced multiple activities to meet those goals. We included scientific visits, STEM-focused museums, and significant cultural and historical sites. Scientific visits covered a range of topics in the field of neuroscience including cellular and pharmacological neuroscience, development, cognition, mental illness, artificial intelligence, and the mind-body problem. Pre-visit academic activities included review lectures on general topics (e.g., visual system), scaffolded literature reading, and discussion of previous literature from our hosts. Post-visit academic activities integrated previous foundational curriculum with new research. Cultural historical activities encouraged comparison between a student's home culture, predominant North American culture, and German culture. The first iteration was successful academically and logistically. In post-program surveys, 87.5% of students felt the program had met the learning objectives (n=16). Students agreed that scientific visits and preparatory lectures were relevant to the learning objectives, together with several cultural and historical visits. Students responded positively to an outing to the mountains and found a concentration camp memorial visit moving. They nearly universally reported that the program led to their personal growth. Students did not find several guided tours of STEM-related sites were relevant to our learning objectives, and opinions were mixed as to the balance of structured vs. unstructured time, balance of scientific vs. historical/cultural activities, and how to schedule free time. Students asked for more scientific background preparation, so we modified the upcoming iteration to include a "Neuroscience Boot Camp" prior to departure. We also selected guided tours more carefully and modified scheduling according to student feedback.

A study of the effects of four reading styles on college students' mental health and quality of life based on positive psychology-A first-of-its-kind study.

The increase in mental health problems among college students has become a global challenge, with anxiety and depression in particular becoming increasingly prevalent. Positive psychology has gained attention as an important psychological intervention that emphasizes improving mental health by promoting positive emotions and mindfulness. However, with the diversity of reading styles, however, there is a lack of systematic research on these effects. Therefore, this study aims to explore the specific effects of different reading styles on college students' mental health and quality of life based on positive psychology, with the aim of providing more effective interventions and recommendations for improving college students' mental health. This study used a two-round questionnaire to select students with mental health problems and divided them into four experimental groups with a control group. The study was conducted by distributing questionnaires and experimental interventions, and a total of 2860 valid questionnaires were collected. The study used the Self-Assessment Scale for Anxiety (SAS) and the Self-Depression Scale (SDS) to assess the participants' anxiety and depression levels. In addition, the study used the Physical Composite Score (PCS) and the Mental Composite Score (MCS) to assess the participants' quality of life. SPSS 26.0 was used for data statistics and repeated measures ANOVA was used. Paper text reading and audio reading methods were effective in reducing anxiety levels and improving sleep quality. However, the electronic text reading approach was less effective compared to paper text reading and audio reading, and the video reading approach was not effective in improving depression. In addition, the positive psychology literature reading intervention showed significant improvements in college students' quality of life scores. The results of this study suggest that paper text reading and audio reading modalities have a positive impact on the mental health and quality of life of college students, while e-text reading and video reading modalities are less effective. These findings provide suggestions for college students to choose appropriate reading styles and further demonstrate the effectiveness of positive psychology reading on mental health. These results have important academic and practical implications for promoting mental health and improving quality of life among college students.

Simply the best? Bridging perfectionism in psychology and girlhood studies

ABSTRACT Perfectionism has been a popular topic of interest in psychological research over the last three decades, with research focusing on youth emerging in the early 2000s. However, the term ‘perfectionism’ is rarely used outside of a psychological framework. Despite lexical differences, girlhood studies researchers have employed a sociocultural lens to study ‘supergirls’: teenage girls who strive to have it all, at all costs. Although these literatures seem to explore a similar phenomenon, they tend to remain disparate. Consequently, this paper argues for the utility of a multidisciplinary framework for studying youth perfectionism to bridge these two seemingly opposite, yet mutually informing, literatures. First, disciplinary understandings of youth who strive for perfection in psychology and girlhood studies, respectively, are summarized. In the following section, a multidisciplinary reading of the extant literature is applied to offer a nuanced account of who a teenage perfectionist may be and how perfectionism might manifest among diverse youth. This article concludes with a call for researchers from both psychological and sociocultural backgrounds to embrace a multidisciplinary framework for research with perfectionistic youth.

Peran dan Strategi UMKM dalam Mengurangi Tingkat Pengangguran di Indonesia

This study aims to determine the role and strategy of MSMEs in reducing poverty rates in Indonesia. This research approach collects data through literature studies, which involve reading literature from various sources including books, journals and reports using qualitative and deductive approaches. The findings in this study are that MSMEs play an important role in reducing poverty rates in Indonesia. There are several roles of MSMEs in reducing poverty rates, namely poverty reduction and poverty, economic empowerment, local economic growth, increasing income and consumption. In addition, there are several strategies in reducing poverty rates, namely building coworking spaces, collaborating with the Job Training Center (BLK) to provide free job training, providing job vacancy information through social media or job vacancy applications, conducting synergy collaborations with companies, and encouraging productive age people to enter the creative economy world such as social media.

The Quest for Biodiversity Preservation and Conservation in Lesotho: The Basotho Folklore and Literary Contribution

Researchers have discovered that both oral and written literature have aesthetic, entertainment, cultural, political, and social values. Based on the literature read for this study, none has shown the importance of both oral and written literature as a strategy to preserve and conserve biodiversity. This study intends to find out how Sesotho oral and written literature can contribute to the conservation of biodiversity in Lesotho. This study is a desktop study and used secondary data. A qualitative approach was used in the data analysis. The functionalist approach is used to respond to the research questions. The researchers conclude that both oral and written forms of Sesotho literature are still relevant in the 21st century, and through strategies derived from it, contemporary challenges can be addressed. Therefore, this study recommends that scholars of both oral and written Sesotho literature should consider the beauty of nature and appreciation of biodiversity in this genre to retain the relevance of the literature and contribute towards conserving nature and biodiversity.

Recusatio, Prolepsis, and Popular Sentiment in Tennyson's Juvenilia

Tennyson’s early poems in Poems, by Two Brothers is remarkable for its insistence on maturity, a feature that Laurie Langbauer calls prolepsis, evident in an advertisement for this volume, presumably a jointly written by Alfred and Charles, in which the two brothers boldly announce their entry into the profession of poetry: “But so it is: we have passed the Rubicon, and we leave the rest to fate; though its edict may create a fruitless regret that we ever emerged from ‘the shade,’ and courted notoriety” (Tennyson and Tennyson, Advertisement). With this language and their subsequent volume of poems, Charles and Alfred Tennyson participate in a common schoolboy tradition of writing poetry as if already imagining themselves fully fledged poets. Moreover, in announcing their crossing of the Rubicon and “submitting to the microscopic eye of periodical Criticism” (ibid.), they strategically decide to disavow their youthful influences by means of the classical rhetorical strategy of recusatio. Yet while both Tennyson brothers participate in the normative schoolboy tradition of writing poetry in imitation of classical Greek and Latin poets, Alfred’s imitation also extends into the vogue for sentimental literature, including the gothic, that was popularized in Tennyson’s boyhood in such novels as Ann Radcliffe’s Gothic romances and in gift books, poetry albums, and literary annuals like the Keepsake and the Forget-Me-Not. In so combining his schoolboy training in classical poetry with his reading of popular sentimental and Romantic literature, which were generally considered feminine and commercial, Tennyson forges a distinctive poetic voice and effectively launches himself into the vocation of poetry.

Kajian Yuridis terhadap Upaya Preventif Memerangi Tindak Pidana Korupsi dalam Perspektif Hukum Administrasi Negara

In accordance with the mandate of the rule of law, Indonesia has always sought to remain guided by the law as an instrument to realise the original ideals of the nation. We know that Administrative Law is a branch of law that serves to regulate the correlation between the state (in this case, the government) and its citizens. The role of Administration Law becomes one of the pillar guidelines used to always ensure consistency between government action and law in order to be able to perform its functions optimally. However, one of the obstacles that remains the focus of the issue of government organisation is the punishment of corruption by government officials. For that, the primary purpose of this writing is to know further how the efforts to prevent criminal proceedings of corruption in the perspective of the Administrative Law. This article uses normative juridical research methods with qualitative analysis or library study. The material is obtained from reference sources of reading literature that still have relevance to the object of this research. The findings will be analysed and organised systematically in writing in the form of reading descriptions.

Race, Time, and the Petrified Subject in Algeria

Two major thinkers of anti-colonialism in Algeria—Kateb Yacine, author of the novel Nedjma (1956), and Frantz Fanon—described the impacts of colonial violence through figures of petrification that blur the border between human and nonhuman. Their works ground this article's relational reading across anti-Black and anti-Algerian racializations, drawing on Sylvia Wynter's concept of rhythmic reading and scholarship on comparative racialization. Petrification seeks to capture subjective absence: a modality of living as a negated subject who is excluded from the category of the human. This relational frame suggests absence as a plural, disappearing mode of knowledge production under colonialism. Yacine's novel fleshes out alternative modalities of being human that appear, in Fanon's Algerian writings, as flickers en route to revolution, or clinical diagnoses. Fanon's oeuvre and its readers generate a new critique of Yacine's canonical novel. This article develops absence as a new vocabulary, beyond colonial psychiatry and its agentive resistance, for the reading of literature from the settler colony. Building on feminist critiques of Nedjma, it names anti-Blackness in the novel as an instance of the text's participation in the field of Man at the moment it tries to write, through absence, its outside.

Literary Reading Intervention Strategies for Adolescents with Depression

Teenagers are in the special stage of physical and mental development, and their psychological problems show complex and diverse characteristics. Depression is the most common mental disorder among teenagers. Literary reading has a certain intervention effect on depression and can be used as an important strategy for psychological intervention. Reading literature works can help teenagers understand and discover themselves from different angles, and then realize the self-recognition and intervention of depression. This paper mainly discusses the causes of depression in teenagers and the intervention principles and strategies of literary reading on depression, aiming to alleviate and eliminate the depressive symptoms of teenagers through literary reading and promote their physical and mental health development.

Laser Tweezers Raman Spectroscopy and its application in bio-chemical sensing

Laser Tweezers Raman Spectroscopy (LTRS) technology combines Raman spectroscopy and optical tweezers technology, providing a new way to research in single cell analysis and microbial classification. Driven by the development of precision spectroscopy and deep learning techniques, LTRS plays an increasingly important role in biomedical research, clinical diagnosis and environmental research. For example, it can be used to detect cancer cells, analyse bacterial infections, and monitor harmful environmental substances. In this paper, we review the basic principles of LTRS technology through literature reading and case studies, explain how the technology combines the advantages of optical tweezers and Raman spectroscopy in order to provide a non-destructive, label-free and susceptible single-cell analysis method, summarize the latest development of LTRS technology in recent years, as well as its applications in the field of biochemical sensing, and finally discuss the problems it is currently facing and look forward to its future development direction. Finally, the current problems faced by LTRS are discussed, and the direction of its future development is anticipated.

Multilayer perceptron-based literature reading preferences predict anxiety and depression in university students.

This study aims to precisely model the nonlinear relationship between university students' literature reading preferences (LRP) and their levels of anxiety and depression using a multilayer perceptron (MLP) to identify reading-related risk factors affecting anxiety and depression among university students. In this cross-sectional study, an internet-based questionnaire was conducted among 2,092 undergraduate students (aged 18-22, 62.7% female, from seven provinces in China). Participants completed a customized questionnaire on their LRP, followed by standardized assessments of anxiety and depression using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item Scale and the Beck Depression Inventory, respectively. An MLP with residual connections was employed to establish the nonlinear relationship between LRP and anxiety and depression. The MLP model achieved an average accuracy of 86.8% for predicting non-anxious individuals and 81.4% for anxious individuals. In the case of depression, the model's accuracy was 90.1% for non-depressed individuals and 84.1% for those with depression. SHAP value analysis identified "Tense/Suspenseful-Emotional Tone," "War and Peace-Thematic Content," and "Infrequent Reading-Reading Habits" as the top contributors to anxiety prediction accuracy. Similarly, "Sad-Emotional Tone Preference," "Emotional Depictions-Thematic Content," and "Thought-Provoking-Emotional Tone" were the primary contributors to depression prediction accuracy. The MLP accurately models the nonlinear relationship between LRP and mental health in university students, indicating the significance of specific reading preferences as risk factors. The study underscores the importance of literature emotional tone and themes in mental health. LRP should be integrated into psychological assessments to help prevent anxiety and depression among university students.

Literature study and scientific paper writing for leading and applicability aims to enhance the capability of students in literature review and scientific paper writing through teaching reform and practice. The course design emphasizes leading and applicability, and cultivates independent analysis and critical thinking through in-depth academic literature reading and actual scientific and technological thesis writing. Through the teaching content, teaching methods, and assessment methods, we explore the role of leading teaching in promoting academic exploration and application transformation. Students not only demonstrate innovation and foresight in academic research but also show the ability of technology transformation in practical application, laying a solid foundation for future academic and professional career development.

Read less, learn more. Teach epistemic humility.

Read less, learn more, sounds contradictory. I do not mean students should read less in general. PISA research (OECD, 2023) shows decreasing reading scores in many European countries, and reading literature is not only important for one’s reading competence, it also is fun. What I mean is what psychologist and philosopher William James already wrote in 1890: ¨<i>The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook¨</i> (James, 1890).

Relationship between perceived learner control and student engagement in various study activities in a blended course in higher education

AbstractIn this study, we investigated the relationship between perceived learner control and student engagement in a blended course. Data were collected from 110 s-year bachelor students through weekly questionnaires to gather information about how they perceived their learner control and engagement in various study activities, including reading literature, watching knowledge clips, doing assignments, attending workgroups, and attending lectures. Most students perceived the knowledge clips and workgroups positively because of their clear structure and interactive elements, respectively. In addition, perceived learner control, behavioral engagement, and emotional engagement varied across different activities, whereas cognitive engagement had a similar moderate score across the activities. No significant positive relationships were found between students' perceived learner control and engagement. However, negative relationships between perceived learner control and cognitive and behavioral engagement were found for reading literature, and a negative relationship between perceived learner control and cognitive engagement was identified for attending lectures. We conclude that, in general, perceived learner control is not a significant factor for student engagement in blended learning. However, for particular activities, student engagement may increase as their perceived learner control decreases. The results extend the understanding of the relationship between perceived learner and student engagement, which varied at an activity level. Additionally, the findings suggest that teachers could consider enhancing student engagement by assigning different levels of learner control to students based on their needs.

Monkey See, Monkey Eat. Food As an Anthropocentric Culture Element in Albert Helman’s “Mijn Aap schreit” and “Mijn Aap Lacht”

ABSTRACT Considering the questions bound with modern problems of the post-human literature (re)readings, this essay tries to indicate the role of food culture in determining the human-animal relation on the basis of two literary works by the Dutch writer Albert Helman: Mijn aap schreit and Mijn aap lacht. The leading methods are narratological analysis as described by Mieke Bal and William Nelles, as well as some close reading postulates. In the analysis I consider the role of food in both of the stories. I try to answer such questions as: What does a monkey eat? Who decides what a monkey should eat? Is there any symbolic role of food? Are there any food-taboos, especially ones bound with the human-animal relation?
