Implementation of PWA in Scholarship Application Using Microservices Architecture for Enhancing User Engagement

The shortage of traditional web development makes researchers turn to web development using Progressive Web App (PWA) in developing a web, which has been increasingly done. PWA has the ability to function even with a low internet connection, maintain interactive user and access speeds, and provide real-time notifications. In modern web development, where the demand for data, features, and users can increase rapidly, an architecture is required to handle this problem. Microservices architecture can answer this. This research will develop a scholarship application using PWA and microservices architecture. The scholarship application was developed using Veu.js for the front end of the client application, MySQL for the application database, and the SLIM framework for microservices implementation. Furthermore, we utilized RAbbitMQ to develop a message broker and Docker for microservices contaner. The scholarship application developed using PWA technology and microservices in this research has been tested by conducting a User Acceptance Test. The results are the implementation of PWA in the scholarship application using microservice architecture has worked well, and the application performance has been able to overcome problems in terms of scalability, speed, and reliability.

The Impact of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Scholarships for Acting Interns on the Diversity of Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Programs

Background Improving diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in orthopaedic surgery is a priority as statistics continue to demonstrate it as the least diverse surgical subspecialty. DEI scholarships for Acting Interns have been recently developed to recruit more diverse candidates. Objective To determine the impact of DEI scholarships on the orthopaedic surgery residency application process. Design An anonymous survey was distributed to program directors at ACGME accredited orthopaedic residencies that offered DEI scholarships for visiting medical students. The survey inquired about factors involved in scholarship implementation, source of funding, number of scholarship applications received, factors considered in selecting recipients, number of DEI scholarships awarded, program results in the 2023 Match, demographics of incoming first-year residents, and program directors’ observations following implementation. Results Of the 49 programs with known DEI scholarships, 16 (32.7%) completed the survey. During the 2023 Match cycle, respondents matched an average of 5 residents (SD 0.5, Range 3 – 8) consisting of 36.7% female (SD 31.7%, Range 0 – 100%) and 36.9 (SD 28.2%, Range 0 – 100%) underrepresented minority (URM) residents. Following scholarship implementation, most program directors (56.2%) observed a rise in URM student rotators with an associated 18.8% increase in the number of URM residents. Additionally, 18.8% of programs claimed that scholarship recipients either matched at their program or another orthopaedic residency program. Respondents reported that 68.8% (SD 41.5%, Range 0 – 100%) of scholarship recipients received an invitation to interview at the awarding program. Of the three programs (18.8%) that claimed recipients matched at their program, two (13.3%) reported they matched one DEI scholar, while the other (6.7%) stated that five DEI scholars matched into their program. Conclusion DEI scholarships may be an effective strategy for promoting diversity in orthopaedics. However, longitudinal data and increased institutional GME funding are required to increase the proportion of orthopaedic residency programs that offer these scholarships for visiting students.

강학(講學) 활동을 통해 본 노서 윤선거의 생애

This paper examines the life of Yun Seon-geo (1610-1669), a prominent figure among 17th-century Gihosarim scholars, with a focus on his scholarly activities. The study divides his life into pre- and post-Byeongjahoran periods, exploring his experiences as a scholar in Ganghwado, his role as a jingsa, and his practical engagement within the Gihosarim community. During the Byeongjahoran, Yun Seon-geo abandoned the pursuit of official positions and dedicated himself to scholarship. Despite being called upon by the central government, he consistently remained in Ganghwado, earning the nickname ‘sajoesin’ due to his unwavering commitment. This consistency reflected his Confucian spirit, prioritizing integrity over empty titles and superficial achievements. Yun Seon-geo inherited the scholarly traditions of Ugye Seonghon and Yulgok Yi I, embodying the practical philosophy of the Gihohakpa school. His life exemplified the application of scholarship to real-world contexts. He maintained lifelong friendships with fellow Gihosarim scholars, integrated Confucian principles into daily life, and actively promoted scholarship through educational endeavors. Yun Seon-geo’s pragmatic approach to learning and scholarly engagement provides valuable insights not only for his contemporaries but also as a foundation for studying literary transmission among later scholars and literati.

CHALLENGES FOR INDONESIAN EFL STUDENTS IN ENGLISH ACADEMIC WRITING

This research aims to examine the challenges faced by Indonesian EFL students in academic writing, specifically the errors they made while writing scholarship application essays. The study focused on identifying syntactical and morphological errors and understanding their sources and reasons. The data consisted of 20 essays from third-semester students in an academic writing course at a private Indonesian university. Two English language lecturers reviewed the essays twice to identify the errors. The findings revealed that syntactic errors were the most common, with 132 instances (61.69%), followed by punctuation and capitalization errors with 50 instances (23.37%), and morphological errors were the least frequent with 32 instances (14.94%). Interlingual, or native language interference, was found to be the primary source of these errors. The main factor of making errors is the lack of previous experience and knowledge about the conventions of academic writing and the expectations of the institution they are studying at. This study offers teaching recommendations for EFL teachers, emphasizing the importance of considering the impact of learners' native language besides providing appropriate grammar instruction as the key to effective teaching for ESL teachers.

Perspectives on citizen data privacy in a smart city – An empirical case study

Digitisation is arguably an inevitable feature of contemporary urban development, yet privacy issues arising from the mass data collection, transmission and processing it entails continue to be a poorly understood and contentious issue for people living in cities. This article uses a case study approach to provide new evidence of the detailed perspectives of citizens and policy makers on data privacy in rapidly digitising urban environments, with a focus on one of the UK’s most prominent smart cities: Manchester. It adds to the literature on smart cities through the application of complementary scholarship from two areas – trust and participation – in order to analyse comparatively citizens’ views and concerns on data gathering activity in their city with efforts of policy makers to incorporate data privacy matters in their digital city planning. The article finds a clear – but reparable – data privacy disconnect between people and digital policy makers and explores how citizen data privacy concerns may be addressed through a lens of trust and participation.

Penerapan Algoritma Clustering K-Means Data Mining dalam Pengelompokan Mahasiswa Penerima Beasiswa

Scholarships are a program intended to help students with economic problems. For universities, especially private universities, scholarships are an attraction or a campus promotional event to attract prospective students to register at the campus. The scholarships provided by the campus are independent scholarships which are based on funding from the university's foundation. This is very important to pay attention to, where apart from the achievements of prospective students, they must also consider their readiness or ability to participate in the learning process that takes place at the university. Therefore, paying attention to the grades obtained from prospective students is very important to pay attention to. Another problem is that the quota given by the foundation for scholarships is also limited, which is not covered by all prospective students who register or submit scholarship applications. In terms of determining or awarding scholarships, there is not yet a reference standard that is used for determination in the decision-making process, so scholarship awards are often misdirected. Mistakes in awarding scholarships are of course very detrimental to the campus. Therefore, this problem should require special attention and treatment. This problem can be easily resolved by finding a pattern of rules for accepting scholarships. Data mining is a process method that is widely used today, this is because data mining is very helpful in the decision making process. The process carried out by data mining is divided into several techniques such as Clustering. Clustering is a way to group new data. The K-Means algorithm carries out a solution process based on grouping, therefore the K-Means algorithm is classified as a clustering part of data mining. The aim of the research to be carried out is to assist in the process of grouping prospective students who will be prioritized in receiving scholarships. Based on the results of this research, it can later help to find students who are truly worthy of receiving the scholarship. The results obtained from the research are that there are 2 (clusters) obtained from the K-Means algorithm process. Where in cluster 1 there are 10 grouping data and in cluster 2 there are 5 grouping data.

A policy design perspective on electricity rates

Electricity rates affect citizens’ energy-related behaviors. In the past and present, studies of the behavioral influences of the designs of these rates have heavily focused on the structure and effects of pricing mechanisms. This price-centric perspective has, this paper demonstrates, led other crucial aspects of rate designs to be overlooked despite their potential implication for more efficient and equitable citizen energy access and climate change mitigation. To explore the composition of rate designs beyond the oft-examined pricing component, this study develops and utilizes a novel application of policy design scholarship to more comprehensively examine the rate designs that facilitate residential electricity provision and shape energy consumption behaviors. Through this approach, multiple design elements and more granular sub-elements are identified in contemporary rate designs. Furthermore, emergent properties of rate design diversity and complexity are discerned as design features occur individually and combinatorically. Ultimately, this study not only tractably expands the concept of rate designs, but also advances a method for examining the policy instruments through which public service provision occurs.

Determining Achievement Scholarship Recipients Using the Simple Additive Weighting Method

SMA Negeri 1 Koto Salak is one of the school institutions that provides scholarships to its students. However, the determination of scholarship recipients is still done by collecting or viewing the scholarship registration file, which consists of the average value of the report card, the number of siblings, active in the organization and the economically disadvantaged. So that the school is difficult to determine the priority of which students are entitled to a scholarship because of the large number of scholarship applicants. This study aims to analyze, design and build a Decision Support System for receiving merit scholarships using the Simple Additive Weighting method. This method is the method used in finding the weighted sum of the performance ratings on each alternative, in this case those who are entitled to receive scholarships based on the recipient criteria. With this, the assessment will be more accurate because it is based on predetermined criteria and weights.

PENERAPAN SISTEM PENDUKUNG KEPUTUSAN (SPK) DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN METODE FUZZY AHP (ANALYTICAL HIERARCY PROCESS) SEBAGAI PENENTUAN PENERIMA BEASISWA PIP

Determining PIP scholarship recipients is a matter of multi-criteria decision making. For this problem, a decision support system (SPK) was built to determine PIP scholarship recipients using criteria including: family economic condition, average family income, and number of parental dependents. The method used in this problem is the Fuzzy AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) method. Based on the results of testing the decision support system using the Fuzzy AHP method, this research succeeded in determining students who were entitled to receive the PIP scholarship, where from all alternative PIP scholarship applicants, the final clusterization value was obtained as 25% of the alternatives were entitled to receive it and 75% of the alternatives were not entitled to receive it. Apart from that, this decision support system is dynamic in nature, where the system can handle changes or additions to criteria

Realitas Tersembunyi : Praktik Dramaturgi Mahasiswa Penerima Beasiswa KIPK

The KIP-Kuliah Scholarship is study assistance for prospective students from limited economic backgrounds with academic achievements. Online registration makes the process easier, but opens up opportunities for fraud, especially in data manipulation. This research adopts Goffman's Dramaturgy theory, viewing social interactions as performances where scholarship applicants act like actors. As well as using the perspective of Risk Society theory by Ulrich Beck, which states that risk is present in modern society as the impact of changes in technology, economics and social structure. This research is qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. This research aims to reveal the front and back stages of students receiving KIPK scholarships. The results show dramaturgical practices where some Kipk students act as incapable individuals on the front stage but live hedonistic lives on the back stage. Ironically, modernization intended to make scholarship registration easier actually carries the risk of manipulation and hedonistic behavior among students.

Language Attitudes and Policy Preferences: Insights From International Scholarship Applicants to Hungarian Universities

Abstract This study examined the attitudes of individuals seeking scholarships to study abroad, exploring whether their views on languages and language policy models vary based on gender, study programs, and countries. An online survey was administered to approximately 130 Hungarian government scholarship applicants from diverse nations. Statistical methods were employed to analyze responses, revealing variations and correlations between demographic and attitudinal variables. Participants expressed preferences for multilingual and monolingual language policies, aligning with their attitudes. The findings indicate that most participants pursued language learning with instrumental motivation, aiming to achieve educational and career objectives. Most participants expressed a desire for a multilingual language policy model in their home countries. While many embraced the proposal to adopt English as the medium of instruction, others maintained a critical perspective, acknowledging both the positive and negative impacts of English and multilingualism. Additionally, participants underscored the significance of preserving native languages in their respective countries.

Border-Crossings, Family, Friends, and Education: Pacific Islander Girls in Hawai‘i Writing their Lives

ABSTRACT This study examines the writing of adolescent Pacific Islander girls who, during a community-based workshop, drafted statements of purpose (SOP) for scholarship applications. Pacific Islander migrants are among the most marginalized residents in Hawai‘i. Our project engaged the girls in telling their own stories through writing. Following New Literacies Studies approaches, we designed a multi-week workshop where the girls reflected on their stories and drafted SOPs. We collected the texts and used qualitative content analysis to investigate how the girls presented their stories. Analyses reveal that the girls authored stories from their own lives, relating their migrations across cultural and geographic borders, accomplishments and challenges, and aspirations for the future. The younger girls represented themselves differently from the older girls. For this group of multilingual adolescent girls, writing their SOP in a familiar out-of-school setting allowed them to express their identities as transnational youth with both traditional and modern sensibilities.
