Language learning with Replika: Fostering grammar correction and conversational confidence
There are many beneficial English language learning tools. One of these tools is chatbots, powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) models. Replika (https://replika.ai/) is an AI chatbot that communicates with users naturally, allowing learners to chat in English anytime and anywhere. It can be used in language learners’ speaking activities. It can also be used as a self-study tool for learners. Although Replika started as a chatbot and has age verification, learners can use it as a tool for learning how to communicate with others in English. In this research, three students used Replika for two weeks to see how their communicative competence changed through interacting with Replika. The study was conducted from the middle of October to the beginning of November 2021, and the second experiment was conducted at the beginning of February 2023. The researcher asked the students to engage in written chat with Replika for at least one hour weekly for a period of two weeks to see how Replika helped their communicative ability. This research was also conducted for one month. The author chatted with students before and after using Replika to determine any changes. The chat session was held two to three times in total. The author will propose how the chatbot affects learners’ language learning
Perancangan Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini Kasuari Dan Perancangan Malang Resto–Art Gallery
Laporan ini membahas keterlibatan dalam dua proyek perancangan bangunan, yaitu Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) Kasuari yang berlokasi di Kabupaten Sleman, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, dan Malang Resto–Art Gallery yang berlokasi di Kota Batu, Jawa Timur. Penulis terlibat dalam perancangan proyek PAUD Kasuari sejak awal secara mandiri berdasarkan kebutuhan, peraturan, dan konteks tapak. Proyek kedua yakni, Resto–Art Gallery, penulis bergabung setelah tahap penyusunan konsep selesai, sehingga peran penulis fokus pada pembuatan dokumen skematik, pengembangan rancangan, serta penyusunan interpretasi Rencana Anggaran Biaya (RAB) dan gambar Detailed Engineering Design (DED). Analisis terhadap kedua proyek dilakukan dengan pendekatan 13 butir kompetensi arsitek untuk memahami keterkaitan antara proses desain dengan penerapan dalam rancangan dan tanggung jawab sebagai arsitek. Pembahasan analisis mencakup aspek struktur, material, efisiensi energi, biaya, peraturan, pedoman teknis, dan responss konteks setempat. Perbedaan tingkat keterlibatan di kedua proyek dapat menjadi dasar memandang posisi arsitek dalam berbagai tahapan kerja. Penulis juga merefleksikan nilai-nilai profesi, etika, dan tanggung jawab sosial sebagai pertimbangan dalam setiap keputusan perancangan, baik secara kolaboratif maupun individual. Laporan ini menjadi metode membaca secara reflektif terhadap praktik arsitektur yang kompleks, kolaboratif, dan mengakar kuat pada konteks.

This report explores the author's involvement in two architectural design projects: the Kasuari Early Childhood Education Center (PAUD) in Sleman Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta, and the Malang Resto–Art Gallery in Batu City, East Java. For the PAUD Kasuari project, the author handled the design independently from the beginning, responsding to programmatic needs, site conditions, and applicable regulations. In contrast, in the Resto–Art Gallery project, the author joined the team after the concept phase was completed, focusing on schematic documents, design development, and interpreting the Bill of Quantities (BoQ) and Detailed Engineering Design (DED) drawings. Both projects were analyzed through the lens of 13 architect competency points to understand how design processes relate to built outcomes and the responssibilities of architects. The discussion includes structure, materials, cost efficiency, energy considerations, regulatory compliance, and responsses to local context. The varying levels of involvement offered the author insight into how the architect’s role evolves across project stages. Throughout, the author reflected on professional values, ethics, and social responssibility as essential considerations in every design decision—whether individually or within a team. This report serves as a reflective reading of architectural practice that is complex, collaborative, and rooted in context
Chicken embryo development
Bakalaureusetöö
Loomakasvatuse õppekavalTänapäeva ühiskonnas on muna ja kanaliha kasvava nõudlusse rahuldamiseks oluline aretustöö, et saada suuremat toodangut. Embrüonaalse arengu mõistmine aitab teha aretuskarja valikuid ja tuvastada embrüo väärarenguid. Bakalaureusetöö eesmärk oli kirjeldada kanatibude embrüonaalset arengut ja anda ülevaade embrüo arengust muna läbi valgustamisel. Kirjanduse ülevaates on kirjeldatud muna ehitust, säilitus–ja inkubeerimistingimusi ning tibude embrüonaalset arengut. Embrüonaalne areng on toodud välja päevade kaupa ja kirjeldab gastrulatsiooni, neurulatsiooni, organogeneesi ning teiste struktuuride teket. Autori läbi viidud inkubeerimisel jälgiti kolme erineva kanatõu (buff leghorn, cream legbar ja marans) embrüo arengut. Arengut jälgiti munade valgustamise teel. Kõige paremini oli areng tuvastatav cream legbar’i tõu munade puhul ja kõige vähem maransi tõu munade puhul. Maransi areng oli raskemini tuvastatav muna tumepruuni värvuse tõttu. Leghorni ja cream legbar’i munade puhul oli näha ka embrüo liikumist. Inkubeerimise järgselt koorumata jäänud munad avati ning analüüsiti embrüote hukkumise põhjuseid. Töö autor julgustab lindude hobipidajaid avama inkubeerimisel koorumata jäänud mune ja embrüote hukkumise põhjuseid välja selgitama. See aitaks valida aretuseks parimaid linde ja tõsta kooruvust.To meet the growing demand for eggs and chicken meat, effective breeding practices are essential to achieve higher production. Understanding embryonic development can aid in making informed breeding choices and identifying embryo malformations. The purpose of this bachelor's thesis is to describe embryonic development and provide an overview of chicken embryo development through egg candling. The first part of the thesis outlines the structure, storage, and incubation conditions of eggs, along with the embryonic development of chicks. Embryonic development is detailed day by day, describing the stages of gastrulation, neurulation, organogenesis, and other structural formations. The development of embryos from three different breeds (Buff Leghorn, Cream Legbar, and Marans) was monitored during incubation by egg candling. Development was most detectable in Cream Legbar eggs and least detectable in Marans eggs, primarily due to the dark brown color of Marans eggs. Embryo movement was visible in both Leghorn and Cream Legbar eggs. Unhatched eggs were opened and analyzed to determine possible causes of embryonic death. The author encourages aviculturists to open unhatched eggs after incubation to identify reasons for embryo mortality. This practice can help in selecting the best birds for breeding and increasing hatchability rates
PENERAPAN PRINSIP JUAL BELI DENGAN SISTEM PAYLATER DALAM PERSPEKTIF HUKUM ISLAM
Current technological advances allow humans to be able to transact using information technology, this is no exception in terms of buying and selling. In the buying and selling system, the payment has also developed, namely the Paylater system. While the existence of this payment system is the category of usury in the perspective of Islamic law. So this research was conducted to examine this matter, how the application of the principle of buying and selling using the Paylater system in the perspective of Islamic Law. So that from the study that the author found, namely in buying and selling according to Islamic law there is the principle of tawhid, the principle of justice, the principle of honesty, the principle of willingness/freedom, and the principle of maslahat or benefit. The research method in this study is normative with a conceptual and statutory approach. So that from these existing principles, the author relates the indicators and implementation of these principles to the Paylater system which from the study can be concluded that the various Paylater payment systems carried out by online buying and selling applications in Indonesia have their own characteristics or characteristics which in the end the use of the Paylater system is not in accordance with Islamic law because there is an element of usury in it because of the debt (Al-Qardh) that exists in the system

Debora Vogel, "Acacias Blooming" from Acacias Blooming : Montages (Warsaw : Rój, 1936)
This is a translation of Debora Vogel\u27s short story "Acacias Blooming." It is one of the short stories from her collection, Acacias Blooming: Montages, which was first published in Yiddish in 1935, and translated by the author into Polish in the following year. Vogel has long been known as correspondant of Bruno Schulz -- a Polish writer and artist in the interwar period -- and it was from their letters, that Schulz\u27s Cinnamon Shops (1933) grew. However, Vogel herself was a Yiddish and Polish poet, writer, and art critic who published her texts not only in Poland, but also in New York. Born in the Eastern Galicia around 1900 into an intellectual family that adopted Haskalah, Vogel grew up speaking Polish and German, but not Yiddish. In the 1920s, she learned Yiddish of her own accord and chose to write in the language. With her Lvovian Jewish colleagues, she was actively engaged in stimulating the Yiddish literary scene in Galicia, and popularizing the Western modernistic movement in early 20th century art. In the story "Acacias Blooming," objects and scenes from daily life are depicted through their colors, geometric shapes, and the feelings they evoke. This work employs, in literature, the dramatically changed perspective of contemporary art toward objects. Furthermore, the story reflects the concerns of leftist artists in the 1930s with regard to the \u27literature of the fact.\u27Vogel\u27s stories are an interesting example of avant-garde art in Lvov, which has thus far been overlooked in studies on the European avant-garde movement. The illustrations are taken from the Polish original of Acacias Blooming (1936), and were made by Vogel\u27s friend Henryk Streng (Marek Włodarski).翻訳Translatio
