Keep Moving Forward
No full textKeep Moving Forward is a story written in the inspiration of author Charles Bukowski, specifically in spirit of Ham On Rye. Similarly to that novel, this story is written in the form of dirty realism, with an intended audience of young adults. This coming of age story follows the youth of Lily Torres, who is simply looking for happiness. Or at least some means of satisfaction. But things don't always work out that way in life, especially not for Lily. Throughout this story, readers follow the everyday struggles Lily is brought up against. Abandoned by her friends, mistreated by her lovers and forgotten about by her family, Lily is forced to learn the lessons of friendship, love and trust. It's through these learning lessons that she finally accepts that she can only keep moving forward

This research is motivated by the importance of
improving students’ learning outcomes in the
cognitive domain at the C4 level (analysis), which is a
crucial component of higher- order thinking processes.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of
problem-based learning models on students’ learning
outcomes at the analysis level. This study employs a
quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental
posttest-only control group design. The research
sample consists of two eighth-grade classes at SMP
Negeri 5 Bandar Lampung, selected using simple
random sampling. Class VIII.6, serving as the
experimental group, received instruction through a
problem-based learning model, while class VIII.8,
serving as the control group, received conventional
instruction. The instrument used was a multiple-choice
test consisting of five valid items, with a reliability
coefficient of 0.673. Data analysis was conducted
using prerequisite tests and an independent samples
t-test.
The results showed a significance value of 0.073 >
0.05, indicating that H₀ is accepted. Therefore, there is
no significant difference between the learning
outcomes of the experimental group and the control
group. In conclusion, the implementation of the
problem-based learning model did not have a
significant effect on improving students’ analytical
skills compared to conventional teaching methods
Biological structure and seasonality in the Japan/East Sea
No full textAuthor Posting. © Oceanography Society, 2006. This article is posted here by permission of Oceanography Society for personal use, not for redistribution. The definitive version was published in Oceanography 19, 3 (2006): 122-133.The Japan/East Sea (JES) contains several oceanic regions separated by dynamic boundaries. These distinct regions,
and the physical features that establish and maintain the boundaries between the regions, have significant impacts
on its ocean biology. Until recently, most studies of the biology of the JES have focused on nearshore regions, with
few detailed studies of the interior of the JES or the dynamic features that define the different regions. In addition,
the classic sampling methods used in previous work have not allowed high-resolution studies of biological-physical
interactions associated with key dynamic mesoscale frontal zones, quasi-synoptic surveys of water column and biological
structure in three dimensions, or broad-scale description of the seasonal cycles in the different biogeographic
regions of the JES

Indigenous in Jackie French’s Perspective as a White Author: Unsettling Narratives in Australian Children’s Book
No full textHow Australian children perceived the image of Indigenous from their readings is highly influenced by the authors. As many Australian children’s books are written by White authors, it is important to reveal whether their past and cultural background manifest in the image they built for Indigeneity. This study aims to reveal how Jackie French, a white Australian children’s book author, portrayed Indigenous characters and environment in her novels and to find out whether French creates a shift of the images as a form of her tendency to the major culture in Australia. The data were significant textual units from Nanberry Black Brother White novel and were analyzed using Bradford's post-colonial theory of unsettling narrative. The result of this study shows that French deliver a varying degree of Eurocentric mindset in portraying indigenous characters and characterization. It implies that French, as a White-Australian writer still possibly has a colonial mentality who, deliberately or not, positions the Indigenous characters as Others through the focalization of both Non-Indigenous and Indigenous characters themselves. For instance, in Nanberry Black Brother White, it appears that French try to justify whiteness as more civilized and a better race through Nanberry’s point of view as an Indigenous child character. It implies that the process of depicting Nanberry, the representation of Aborigines, in the novel is actually a justification for establishing an Eurocentric mindset through the character’s narratives, and therefore creates unsettling narratives
Psychometric Properties of the Job Engagement Scale: A Cross-Country Analysis
No full textJob engagement is a motivational construct that refers to the willingness of employees to invest their physical, emotional and cognitive energies in their jobs in a holistic and simultaneous manner. Researchers use the Job Engagement Scale (JES) to measure the above conceptualization of job engagement, whose application is recent in job engagement research and is based largely on Western samples. In order to examine how job engagement is perceived in Asian contexts, this exploratory study aimed to provide a cross-country analysis of psychometric properties of the JES. We utilized data from earlier research of the first author, which were collected from 347 Pakistani and 498 Malaysian employees worked at diverse organizations. Psychometric analyses with reliability and validity estimations were performed using the Structural Equation Modeling. Results showed good internal consistency reliability, convergent validity and factorial validity of the JES for both Pakistani and Malaysian samples. However, psychometric properties of the JES for Pakistan outperformed those for Malaysia in all the estimations. Implications for future use of the JES and limitations of the study are discussed
