Interactive Media to Explore Local Wisdom in Learning BIPA Distance at the Indonesian Embassy in Bern, Switzerland

Media selection is needed to teach Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing (BIPA) through distance learning (PJJ) to explore Indonesian local wisdom. BIPA learning problems often arise so that students cannot absorb the material optimally. BIPA learning in PJJ requires special attention because it is carried out online. The ability to apply information technology, especially when choosing learning media, is an important concern in BIPA learning. The focus of the discussion of this article includes 1) the BIPA class learning process at the Indonesian Embassy in Bern, Switzerland, and 2) Interactive media used in BIPA learning at the Indonesian Embassy in Bern, Switzerland. The method for this study uses a qualitative design by observing the distance learning process of BIPA at the Indonesian Embassy in Bern. The results of observations from the BIPA PJJ learning process at the Indonesian Embassy in Bern are that students have different backgrounds and basic abilities, and the use of interactive media is very effective in this learning. The media used include 1) word wall for learning vocabulary and grammar, 2) learning app pages for learning listening, reading, and grammar, and 3) a jam board for learning to write.

Consider the time dimension: theorizing and formalizing sequential media selection

Abstract Existing media-selection theories predominantly consider media selection at a static moment-in-time. However, such theorizing is out-of-step with today’s media landscape, which is dominated by sequential media consumption where future media selection is dependent on previously selected media. Ignoring the dependencies among sequential media selection leads to a failure to theorize and model the time-evolving nature of media selection. To bridge this gap, we review computational modeling methods and offer an integrative theoretical framework for studying sequential media selection. In doing so, we lay the theoretical and methodological foundation necessary for state-of-the-art research focused on understanding the underlying mechanisms of, and sequential dependencies among, media selection. Our sequential media-selection framework helps media researchers by theorizing and formalizing processes related to learning, exploration vs. exploitation, and foraging. The outcome is a manuscript that builds on existing theory and research to offer a roadmap for next-generation media-selection inquiry.

Media Effects Research inJournalism & Mass Communication Quarterly

This article presents an analysis of media effects articles published in JMCQ from 1954 to 2020. Although the primary focus of our sample of articles focused on news, a wealth of additional topics were also examined, including attitude change, media selection, and sharing of media content. While some of this body of scholarship reflects more “traditional” conceptualizations of media effects research, others point to a broader conceptualization that reflects individuals as active in their selection, processing, evaluation, and even creation of media content.

Designing a Website-Based Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in Decision Support Systems (DSS) for Parental Control of Children's Media

The massive amount of children's television programming poses a challenge for parents seeking to mediate suitable viewing habits. This research puts forward a website-based Decision Support System (DSS) leveraging Analytic Hierarchy Process to recommend appropriate shows per personalized criteria. The DSS allows parents to set priorities across factors like educational value, empathy, and social norms reflected in shows. Quantitative AHP methodology ranks options by synthesizing comparative judgments. A prototype is implemented on PHP/MySQL with an intuitive interface explaining decision logic. Testing with parent focus groups indicates significantly increased perceived utility over traditional controls. Recommendation accuracy metrics averaged 0.81 against test cases. Outcomes demonstrate feasibility and benefits of applying multi-criteria DSS techniques to aid value-based media selection for impressionable minds. The system aims to aid busy caregivers overwhelmed by the exponential growth in media choices, promoting discerning consumption. Further enhancements incorporating explanatory facilities and predictive analytics promises wider applicability inside content distribution ecosystems. This research highlights the importance of DSS-AHP integration for child development in the modern information age.

Особенности микроклонального размножения некоторых представителей рода Ribes spp.: обзор

Abstract. Purpose. The systematization of information on the micro clonal reproduction of representatives of the Ribes spp. genus, including the rooting of micro shoots and their adaptation in ex vitro conditions. Methods. A comparative analysis was used to review foreign and domestic literature on the cultivation of berry crops using the method of microclonal propagation. Results. It is possible to increase the reproduction coefficient of healthy pure-cultivar Ribes spp. planting material in conditions of micro clone reproduction, taking into account genotypic features. Obtaining viable explants when introduced into in vitro culture is achieved, first of all, by choosing a high-quality source material, the phase of plant development during the isolation of explants and the selection of nutrient media. In addition, the positive introduction is influenced by the effectiveness and toxicity of the sterilizing agent, the fight against phenolic oxidation of explants and the medium, the range of growth regulators during the periods of the introduction, micropropagation and rhizogenesis. The greatest production losses occur at the stage of acclimatization of micro-shoots in non-sterile conditions, which is associated with the weak work of enzymes for carbon fixation in the required volumes and the unformed water regime due to the difference in the microclimate in the test tube and open ground conditions. Various technologies of adaptation of the representatives of this genus to external conditions are presented, ranging from the selection of a substrate in greenhouses to the development of special climate chambers with optimal conditions. Despite the contradictory results, the idea of the success of the use of certain preparations for Ribes spp. is expanding, the quality of the planting material is improving, however, the methodology for obtaining pure-variety planting material taking into account the varietal characteristics, has not been fully developed, and the issues of adaptation at the ex vitro stage have not been fully resolved. Scientific novelty: The review of the reports is presented taking into account new domestic and foreign scientific developments of the stages of microclonal reproduction of berry crops, depending on the species and genotypes, as well as the issue of acclimatization in ex vitro conditions is discussed.

Towards an Anti-Antiutopia

This paper examines Darko Suvin’s and Kim Stanley Robinson’s assertion that the late-stage capitalism and neoliberalism of our world can be understood as an “antiutopia” that actively works to suppress the imagination of better futures. It argues that the relatively new science fiction sub-genre of solarpunk—which sets itself in direct opposition to the dystopian visions of the more well-known subgenre cyberpunk and imagines worlds that focus on the community rather than the individual, on environmental sustainability rather than environmental degradation, on social justice rather than subjugation and inequality, and on optimism rather than nihilism—offers some of the most promising paths toward the rejection of this antiutopia in favor of an anti-antiutopian (and therefore utopian) approach that actively works to bring about a better future. The paper suggests that the solarpunk futures currently emerging in literature, art, and online communities offer architects, landscape architects, and urban designers powerful inspiration for the future of our increasingly urban world. It examines a selection of short stories, novels, films, and other media—as well as innovative projects of urbanism—for examples of how embracing the practical utopianism of solarpunk can provide both visions of better worlds and potential paths for achieving them.

A Review on Dissolution Method Development for Drug Products: Current Regulations and Prospects

Dissolution (in vitro release) testing has been the subject of intense scientific and regulatory interest over the past several decades. As an analytical methodology, in vitro dissolution testing measures drug release into the dissolution media. The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) Dissolution Database was reviewed and screened regarding the type of dosage forms, apparatus type, agitation speed, media volume, and recommended time points for the dissolution profile. The dissolution method requires special laboratory equipment, following a well-defined protocol. Basic information is available in the United States Pharmacopeia general chapters<711> Dissolution, <724> Drug Release, and <1092> The Dissolution Procedure – Development and Validation and these chapters were used as a starting point for this revision. The article describes current regulatory expectations for establishing a suitable dissolution method for implementing quality control tools, a way to maintain lot quality and consistency between development batches and post-approval commercial batches. Dissolution methods draw offers some advantages as a possible surrogate for extensive clinical studies in certain cases required after scale-up and post-approval changes in the product's life cycle and serves as an essential tool for establishing waivers for filing of lower strengths of the drug product. The step-by-step dissolution method development plan as per current regulatory perspectives and the factors to be considered are explained with examples. Scientist requires detailed insights on the selection of media and volumes, physicochemical properties of active substance, sink condition, type of enzymes, selection of apparatus, deaeration, sinkers, agitation speed, and time point’s measures. The advanced dissolution method is evaluated against its discriminatory power by intentionally varying formulation and process variables

The Media Use Model: A metatheoretical framework for media processes and effects

Abstract The Media Use Model (MUM) presents a metatheoretical framework that aims to unify several existing theories of media processes and effects. It uses a constraint satisfaction approach to coherence to explain the dynamic relationship between a media consumer’s motivations, expectations, individual differences, and, primarily, their cognitive processing during media use. The MUM includes six propositions, which represent stages during which a media consumer’s existing processing constraints are taken into consideration during their selection, interpretation, and comprehension of media content. It allows for both spontaneous and deliberate processing that can result in coherence or incommensurability, which then predicts continued media use or a change in media selection, respectively. Within this metatheoretical framework, (in)coherence is presented as a continuum where media consumers may have different interpretations of the same media content, which can then be used to understand their responses to it.

Different outcomes between iso-osmolar and low-osmolar contrast media in acute myocardial infarction with renal impairment.

The selection of appropriate contrast media (CM) remains an important issue in terms of renal preservation in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and renal impairment scheduled for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We compared the clinical outcomes of patients with AMI and renal impairment, depending on the CM type (iso-osmolar CM [IOCM] vs. low-osmolar CM [LOCM]) that was used during PCI. From the Convergent Registry of Catholic and Chonnam University for Acute Myocardial Infarction, 3174 post-PCI patients with AMI and renal impairment were subdivided into two groups (IOCM [n = 2101] and LOCM [n = 1073]). Regarding in-hospital clinical outcomes, the IOCM group had a higher peak creatinine (Cr) level and lower "Cr differential" than the LOCM group. A higher proportion of dialysis was noted in the IOCM group. In 30-day clinical outcomes, the IOCM group showed higher incidence of new-onset heart failure (HF) but lower incidence of revascularization than the LOCM group. The differences in in-hospital and 30-day clinical outcomes were attenuated after inverse probability of treatment weighting, except for new-onset HF. All other variables in 30-day clinical outcomes, including all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accidents, stent thrombosis, and any dialysis events, were similar between the two groups. IOCM use did not prevent future incidence of dialysis compared to LOCM use in AMI patients with renal impairment.

Media Usage Patterns of African Higher Education Students: A Ghanaian Perspective

The study examined the media usage patterns of 598 university students in Ghana to understand their demands for digital teaching and learning, as well as their patterns of media use for learning, with the goal of informing the media selection process. Overall, the study found that the universities fell short of meeting students' expressed need for digital learning formats. The gap represents both a challenge and an opportunity for the expansion of digital teaching and learning formats in Ghanaian universities. Furthermore, the media usage patterns reveal significant leisure-seeking and recreational uses of media by students, emphasizing the pervasiveness and embeddedness of smartphones in academic contexts. The emphasis on entertainment usage and the prevalent use of media for hedonistic purposes may suggest a deficit in digital skills regarding the use of media for learning. The study found no significant differences in user profiles between traditional and non-traditional students. The implications for instructional design activities and strategies for a mobile-saturated context are discussed.

Examining the Implications of Negativity Perceptions for Enterprise Social Media Use

ABSTRACT Many organizations fail to optimally benefit from voluntary communication and collaboration tools – e.g. enterprise social media (ESM) – where use depends on workers’ discretionary behaviors. This study explores how ESM use is informed by employees’ perceptions of the content these media convey. Specifically, this paper reports on a survey study (N = 619) to examine the relationship between negativity perceptions and ESM use, through pro-sharing norms and knowledge-sharing intentions. The findings indicate that negativity perceptions of online communication are met with avoidance responses by organizational members and are associated with low platform usage. This relationship is partially mediated by pro-sharing norms and knowledge-sharing intentions, such that negativity perceptions undermine pro-sharing norms and lower knowledge-sharing intention, ultimately reducing ESM use. The findings highlight a potential difference in the underlying psychological mechanisms related to negative media content in organizational environments compared to public and mass media environments. This study integrates media selection literature and media psychology perspectives to study technology adoption and expands our understanding of the potential barriers and drivers of platform use in organizational contexts.

Resource-seeking and media choice process: A case of irrational decision making

Resource seeking is crucial for individual and organizational success only if it is effective in convincing the resource provider to offer the needed resource. Computer-mediated communication theories provide insight into an ideal match between media and communication tasks, but typically treat task as attainment of mutual understanding between communicating partners. Instead, we developed theoretical models for media perceptions and the subsequent media choice as a behavioral decision process considering the characteristics of the resource-seeking context. In an experiment with 119 participants, we found that face-to-face resource seeking is vastly more effective than an email request regardless of the level of closeness between communication partners, but requesters underestimate the difference between the two channels. A consecutive study with 121 participants revealed that this underestimation combined with the fear of embarrassment and awkwardness lead requesters to select the less effective channel (email). Our findings have practical implications, and contribute to media selection theories by calling for focus on the characteristics of the communication goal and the source of irrationality in media selection decisions.

Porous plant form-induced amplification of evapotranspiration for enhanced cooling in vertical greenery systems

Vertical Greenery Systems (VGS) installed on building façades have recently gained significant attention for its urban cooling potentials. While current research primarily leans on the Leaf Area Index to estimate the VGS cooling potentials, the evaporative cooling effects of VGS growing media, has largely been overlooked. In particular, the effect of plant growth form on air movement within the VGS, which could notably augment the rate of evapotranspiration, has commonly been ignored. To address this gap, our study undertakes a comprehensive thermal analysis of two distinct plant growth forms (porous and dense), combining systematic Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations with field experiments over a six-month period. Our results, for the first time, demonstrate that the provision of a porous VGS significantly enhances its cooling effects, which could even lead to a negative façade heat flux. Our findings offer a novel perspective for plant and growing media selection in VGS design.

Nitrogen Foam Alternating Flooding Experiment in The Offshore Strong Bottom Water Sandstone Reservoir

The CFD oilfield is located in the Bohai Sea area and is a typical offshore sandstone reservoir with strong bottom water. The characteristic of the rapid increase in water content is that it quickly enters a highly high water content period, and there currently needed to be more potential tapping measures affected by offshore production facilities. The development mode should be changed to explore the development effect of nitrogen foam flooding. This study conducted two experiments. The first experiment is a gas injection expansion experiment, which studied the changes in bubble point pressure, fluid volume, density, and viscosity under different gas injection conditions. The second experiment used a high-temperature and high-pressure oil displacement device and a long core for oil displacement experiments. Two typical sand bodies were selected for the N2 foam oil displacement experiment. The experimental results show that nitrogen injection has little effect on the properties of reservoir crude oil, with a viscosity reduction effect of 12.4% for heavy oil and 20.0% for thin oil. The viscosity of crude oil significantly impacts the selection of alternative media. The channel was prone to blockage and low oil displacement efficiency when injecting a single gas medium into a heavy oil system. The displacement efficiency of thin oil nitrogen foam is 73.28%. The displacement efficiency of nitrogen foam flooding for heavy oil is 43.09%. This study has a guiding significance for developing development plans for offshore sandstone reservoirs.

Information Needs of Korean Immigrants in the United States

This mixed-method study aimed to explore the information needs of Korean immigrants on social media and their selection and use of social media platforms for information seeking in the United States. The research encompassed six research questions and employed questionnaires, diaries, and interviews to collect data. 111 Korean immigrant participants completed the questionnaires, and 16 individuals were selected for diaries and interviews. The quantitative and qualitative analysis incorporated descriptive analysis, Chi-Square test, and open coding. The study revealed that education is the top information need on social media. Social Network Services were the most frequently used platforms, with YouTube being popular for specific information needs. The relationship between social media types, demographic factors, information communication technology experience, cultural factors, and information needs was examined using the Chi-Square test, uncovering significant associations. Through open coding, various factors influencing social media selection were identified, such as social network influence, cultural preference, information needs, quantity, and format. Keyword searches and subscriptions were the primary methods for information gathering. Algorithms, features, result relevance, and information delivery speed were key factors in using social media. The study uncovered information needs among Korean immigrants and shed light on their predominant needs on social media. Moreover, the study presented a theoretical model for Korean immigrants' selection and use of social media platforms. It offered practical recommendations to cater to the information needs of Korean immigrants, such as algorithm optimization, improved search functionality, and language support. The study's limitations were acknowledged, and recommendations for future research were provided.
