STUDY OF VLADIMIR PROPP'S NARRATIVE STRUCTURE IN LE FANTÔME DE L'OPÉRA NOVEL BY GASTON LEROUX
Authors: Khoirunnisa Adelia Defa
Published: August 2024

This study aims to examine the actions of the characters in the novel Le Fantôme de l'Opéra by Gaston Leroux and their involvement in the story using aspects of narrative structure contained in Vladimir Propp's narrative structure study. This research uses qualitative approach and narrative approach. The material object of this research is Gaston Leroux’s Le Fantôme de l'Opéra which is studied using the concept of narrative structure proposed by Vladimir Propp. The data collection techniques used are reading and note-taking techniques. The data are grouped in a data tabulation table and then analyzed using structural analysis techniques. The results of this study show that this novel consists of 25 functions namely trickery, villainy, mediation, interdiction, beginning counteraction, unrecognized, reconnaissance, difficult task, delivery, the donor, complicity, transfiguration, struggle, absentation, hero’s reaction, departure, pursuit, provision, spatial translocation, the initial misfortune, violation, rescue, solution, return, exposure. The five spheres are villain, donor, helper, dispatcher, hero. The scheme in this novel is divided into three parts, namely the beginning, middle and end. These three schemes form a plot, namely a mixed plot, because the events that occur in this story begin in the middle. While the story progresses forward and several times displays pieces of flashback sections that explain the background of the story. Therefore, it can be concluded that the aspects of narrative structure found in this novel are aspects of actor's function, spheres of action and schemes, then the relationship between aspects is found in the aspect of the schemes.
Transforming CS Curricula into EU-standardized Micro-Credentials – The Hard Parts
Authors: Hänisch Till , Schmitt Lea , Schütz Franziska
Published: August 2024

Since the working environment continues to develop, mobility and flexibility are becoming increasingly important for both companies and employees. Therefore, universities need to transform their study programs into smaller units, so called micro-credentials, which offer flexible and individual learning pathways. To permit EU-wide exchange, micro-credentials have to be recognized and quality-assured and the certificates have to provide a transparent and universal skill set. The process for converting modules into micro-credentials still contains some open issues: micro-credentials typically have a size between 1 and 3 ECTS which means that bigger modules must be broken down into smaller parts. The division of units leads to the problem of assigning especially transversal skills and how to assess, verify and certify them. Additionally, it is not yet clear how micro-credentials are to be classified in the European Qualification Framework (EQF) as modules are accredited in study programs within a certain EQF level. Since micro-credentials can be taken stand-alone this is not always possible. This paper discusses these problems and gives an overview of the state of the art for solving some of them. Therefore, the concept of partial skills is introduced. Keywords: micro-credentials, lifelong learning, skills, partial skills

Authors: Maulida Fita Hanan , Noviani Leny , Sudarno Sudarno
Published: August 2024

This research addresses the significant issue of unemployment among vocational school graduates in Indonesia and the low level of entrepreneurship among them. While previous studies have predominantly focused on the entrepreneurial intentions of high school and university student samples, there isthere needs to be more understanding of the entrepreneurial intentions of vocational school graduates. Bridging  the gap, this study explores the determinants of entrepreneurial intentions among vocational school graduates, particularly examining the roles of entrepreneurial knowledge and attitude toward entrepreneurship. Additionally, this research explores attitude toward entrepreneurship as a mediating variable. The study employs a survey method with data from 305 vocational school graduates in Indonesia as participants. D ta analysis uses partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0 software. The findings indicate that entrepreneurial Knowledge has a significant positive relationship with attitude toward entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, this research finds that attitude toward entrepreneurship exhibits a complementary partial mediation effect between entrepreneurial Knowledge and entrepreneurial intention. The study also suggests that interest in entrepreneurship and professional experience can enhance the entrepreneurial intentions of vocational high school graduates. These insights offer valuable guidance for policymakers and educators in designing strategies to promote entrepreneurship among vocational school graduates, ultimately addressing unemployment challenges in Indonesia.

Published: August 2024

Industry is one of the most important sectors in developing the Indonesian economy. This sector has become the largest supply tool in increasing the country's GDP for approximately the last 10 (ten) years, especially with the establishment of industrial estates or areas in an area. The industrial estate is a central place for all manufacturing or industrial activities complete with adequate infrastructure, then managed by companies in the industrial estate. The establishment of an area in an area can have an impact on the environment around the industrial area, such as people who feel disturbed by the negative impacts resulting from the industrial area in the form of pollution and environmental pollution in the residential areas of the surrounding community, but in addition to the negative impact of the existing industrial area always coexists also with a positive impact, one example of the positive impact of the development of the local community's economic sector. This research aims to elaborate the impact of the existence of industrial estates on the community environment around the Gunungputri sub-district industrial area. This research uses Normative research by identifying legislation related to the research theme.Industri merupakan satu dari sekian sektor penting dalam membangun perekonomian Indonesia. Sektor ini menjadi alat suplai terbesar dalam peningkatan PDB negara selama kurang lebih 10 (sepuluh) tahun terakhir, apalagi dengan berdirinya kawasan atau wilayah industri di suatu daerah. Kawasan industri merupakan tempat sentral segala aktivitas manufaktur atau industri yang lengkap dengan sarana-prasarana yang memadai, kemudian diurus oleh perusahaan dalam kawasan industri tersebut. Berdirinya kawasan disuatu wilayah dapat memberikan dampak terhadap lingkungan sekitar kawasan industri, seperti masyarakat yang merasa terganggu dengan dampak negatif yang dihasilkan dari kawasan industri berupa polusi dan pencemaran lingkungan di wilayah pemukiman masyarakat sekitar, namun disamping dampak negatif dari kawasan industri yang ada selalu berdampingan juga dengan dampak positif salah satu contoh dampak postif berkembang­nya sektor perekonomian masyarakat setempat.

Pengaruh Partai Politik Terhadap Lahirnya Produk Hukum dalam Negara Demokrasi
Authors: Hadad Alwi Al Hadad , Iskandar  , Litya Surisdani Anggraeniko
Published: August 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami bagaimana dinamika penyelesaian masalah dalam masyarakat terjadi dengan menganalisis proses kausalitas dalam pembentukan produk hukum. Dalam penelitian ini, digunakan teori demokrasi dan ketergantungan pada lembaga, baik secara internal maupun eksternal. Metodologi penelitian ini mengadopsi pendekatan normatif-empiris dengan meneliti norma-norma dan gejala sosial yang muncul dalam masyarakat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pola hukum yang cenderung mengutamakan kepentingan khusus daripada kepentingan umum. Kebijakan yang berasal dari proses politik, bukan dari realitas sosial, cenderung menghasilkan hukum yang tidak stabil karena didasarkan pada perjanjian dan kesepakatan. Akibatnya, produk hukum yang dihasilkan kadang-kadang tidak sesuai dengan peranannya sebagai panduan masyarakat dan bahkan dapat memicu konflik antara warga negara dan pemerintah. Undang-undang yang baik dapat memberikan perlindungan bagi masyarakat dari berbagai lapisan, tetapi undang-undang yang disusun untuk memenuhi kepentingan satu kelompok dapat menyebabkan kerusuhan dan ketidakadilan.

Migrants face higher risks of developing mental health issues, such as posttraumatic stress disorder and psychosis, compared to individuals without a migrant or refugee background. However, they can encounter significant barriers to accessing mental healthcare, due to language difficulties, lack of interpreters, cultural stigma and system-related barriers. Furthermore, limited knowledge of the healthcare system further restrict access. Providing culturally tailored online multilingual health materials can enhance their access to mental healthcare, with co-created animated videos being a promising medium. Therefore, this study aimed to: 1) identify key factors influencing the evaluation of mental health educational videos by migrants and their healthcare providers, focusing on critical mental health themes, and 2) actively involve these groups in in co-creating the videos based on feedback. Eight animated videos were developed through an iterative process involving the entire multidisciplinary MHealth4all consortium, including numerous feedback sessions. The videos were evaluated by using a hybrid approach that combined think-aloud observations and interviews with migrants (N = 38) and their healthcare providers (N =33). Thematic coding of the verbatim transcribed interviews revealed four essential aspects: comprehensibility, attractiveness, reliability, and relevance, with specific elements identified for both migrants and for their healthcare providers. These insights can guide the creation of effective health information materials for migrants facing mental health challenges.
Nordic Countries Lead in Life Evaluation but Not Emotional Well-Being

Published: August 2024

The World Happiness Report is the leading source of global well-being rankings and is based on a single life evaluation metric: the Cantril Ladder, which asks participants to rate their life on a ladder between the best and worst possible life. On this scale, wealthier nations score higher, and the Nordic countries (Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Iceland) consistently rank at the top. We used all Gallup World Poll data between 2006 and 2023 (Ncountries = 158, Nparticipants = 2,588,913) to create rankings for other well-being dimensions. While the Nordic countries are at the top on life evaluation and score near the top on enjoyment, this lead does not extend to other positive and negative emotions. A majority of Nordic countries are more stressed and less well-rested than the global average. We found different regions to lead in different aspects of well-being; for example, Asian countries tend to lead in positive affect. We found that income explains 72% of the between-country variation in life evaluation – if this is residualized to derive “the life evaluation money cannot buy,” we found Central American countries to rank highest, with the Nordics dropping to a mean rank of 35. This study stresses the importance of a multi-dimensional understanding of global well-being and points to the many types of “exceptionalism” beyond the Nordic’s in life evaluation.
From Maternal to Infant Interoception
Authors: Tünte Markus R. , Hoehl Stefanie , Nguyen Trinh , Pointner Nadine , Maier Nina , Tsakiris Manos , Kayhan Ezgi
Published: August 2024

Interoception, the perception of internal bodily signals such as heartbeat or respiration, is suggested to play an important role in early development. Infants are still developing the ability to regulate themselves and their bodily processes, which is proposed to evolve in interaction with the primary caregiver. However, it is unclear whether infant and caregiver interoception in early development are related and what role caregiver reflective functioning might play in shaping infant interoceptive development. Here, we provide empirical evidence on the relationship between maternal interoception and infant cardiac- and respiratory interoceptive sensitivity. We used a mega-analytic approach by pooling together data from two studies spanning 3-18-month-old infants and their mothers. In our confirmatory analysis, we found evidence for a positive relation between mothers’ performance on a heartbeat detection task and infants’ cardiac, but not respiratory, interoceptive sensitivity at 9 months of age. Exploratory, but not confirmatory, analysis revealed a positive association between self-reported maternal interoception and infant cardiac interoceptive sensitivity at 3 months and infant respiratory interoceptive sensitivity at 9 months of age. Given the mega-analytic nature of pooling together data from different sources, a range of measures were included. To describe the multiverse of potential analyses, we used a descriptive specification curve analysis which illustrated that the operationalization of maternal interoception is related to variability in results. In sum, we present the first evidence that infant and maternal cardiac interoception are related, and provide an empirical basis on the relevance of caregiver interoception for early human development.
Being of One Mind: Does Alignment in Physiological Responses and Subjective Experiences Shape Political Ideology?
Authors: Arceneaux Kevin , Bakker Bert N. , Schumacher Gijs
Published: August 2024

A prominent theory in political psychology contends that individual differences in negativity bias explain political ideology: people who are more sensitive to negative stimuli find solace and comfort in conservative approaches to politics. Using self-reported measures of negativity bias, the evidence is relatively consistent. Yet, using physiological indicators of the negativity bias, the results are, across the board, inconsistent with the negativity bias argument. Building on recent neuroscience work we propose and test two innovations. First, unconscious and conscious processes are not necessarily aligned. Therefore we propose that there are different - conscious and unconscious - paths that could link ideology with the negativity bias. Second, individuals vary in their ability and motivation to down-regulate arousal and reflect on their emotions. As such, the ideology-negativity bias may emerge in some individuals but not in others. In two preregistered laboratory studies (US and the Netherlands) we find limited evidence for these claims. In a subsequent registered report, we replicate some inconsistent patterns that emerged study 1. We confirm that self-reported social conservatism and implicit social conservatism (measured with an IAT) are positively correlated. We also establish that negativity bias is unrelated to social conservatism (both explicit and implicit). We conclude that negativity bias is most likely not the answer to why people on the left and right differ.
Speed of Script: A Comparative Study between English and Nepali Medium School Students
Authors: Tiwari Hari Prasad
Published: August 2024

Writing speed is one of the most essential requirements for higher academic purposes for the quality and quantity of student's writing. It plays an important and significant role in every one' life. This research utilized a cross-sectional survey design to compare writing speeds in English and Nepali among students in the District of Banke, focusing on three English Medium School(s) (EMS) and three Nepali Medium School(s) (NMS). The researcher employed purposive sampling technique to select the sample of 30 students from each school. The sample included an equal number of boys and girls from both schools resulting in a total of 60 students. Data collection involved administering a standardized writing speed test under controlled conditions. The speeds were measured in words per minute (w/m) for both languages. Analysis of the data revealed that English writing speeds generally exceeded Nepali, with mode values of 29.07 w/m for English and 24.88 w/m for Nepali. The median for English was 27.20 w/m, and for Nepali, it was 20.72 w/m, while the arithmetic means were 24.36 w/m for English and 20.2 w/m for Nepali. The comparative analysis showed a higher proportion of students performing above average in English compared to Nepali.
Communication of Adolescents on Sexual and Reproductive Health Issues with their Parents in Selected Public Schools of Jhapa
Authors: Bhandari Menuka , Rimal Sarmila
Published: August 2024

Adolescence is a vulnerable period and adolescents are at higher risk of sexual and reproductive health problems, abuse, violence, and suicide. Thus, parents have an influential role in helping them throughout this phase of sexual maturation through open communication. Many studies have shown poor communication in a global context as well as in Nepal. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the communication of adolescents on sexual and reproductive health issues with their parents in selected public schools of Jhapa. This study was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in 210 students of classes 9 and 10 of Shree Buddha Adarsha Secondary School, Buddhashanti-1 Jhapa, Nepal. Non-probability purposive sampling was used to select the setting and the study population. Self administered semi-structured questionnaires were used for data collection and data entry was done in SPSS version 16.0. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study revealed that the level of communication of adolescents on sexual and reproductive health with their parents was low in the majority of respondents (90.0%). However, two-thirds (72.4%) of respondents had the average quality of communication followed by a high of 1.0%. Therefore, findings suggested that even though most students were positive towards the importance of sexual reproductive health communication with parents, most of them were not communicating well and topics such as abortion, pregnancy, homosexuality, and fertilization were highly avoided.
Theoretical Underpinnings of Power Sharing in Nepal
Authors: Bhandari Pitambar
Published: August 2024

Power sharing and power separations have been major concerns for many states during political transitions. Power separation has political and legal roots, and theoretical debates are profound, even in peacetime, as an overarching framework for good governance. Power sharing has become a major tendency in countries where ethnic, historical and political conflicts are accepted as a part of state-building. The modern political history of Nepal is the history of power sharing among various actors in the decades of the 1950s, 1990s and 2006. Using a methodological approach of qualitative text inquiry on the literature from various global cases, this paper has analyzed the components of power sharing. Text related to political power sharing and system changes in Nepal after 1950 is reviewed. Managing political transition involves establishing new structures in the state, revisiting the electoral design and accommodating the actors without abandoning their political agendas. This paper explores power-sharing components such as the establishment of new political and bureaucratic structures to support political consensus among former warring parties. However, a grand coalition, a part of democratic power-sharing perspective is not observed in the case of Nepal.

Background: Ultrasonography plays a major role in distinguishing extra-testicular and intratesticular abnormalities. A hydrocele of a male fetus characterised by a ‘half-moon’ hypoechoic fluid rim around the testis was observed. In adults, it is evidenced by serous fluid collection between the parietal and visceral layers of the tunica vaginalis.
Case presentation: A comparative analysis of two cases of in-vitro and in-vivo diagnosis of hydrocele in a woman at 30 weeks of gestation and a 38-year-old male was made.  The crux of the report on the prenatal hydroceles’ variety showed constancy of unchanged fluid volume, suggesting it to be a non-communicating type. The report is contrary to a communicating variety that enlarges throughout gravidae with possible inguinal hernia. There are few comparative hydrocele case sonograms in literature.
Conclusion: Ultrasound is a safe, reliable, and accurate method for evaluating patients with scrotal diseases, and the approach to dual sono-diagnosis is surgery when unresolved to eliminate spermatic cord compromise.

التعزيرات البدنية في التشريع الإسلامي: دراسة مقارنة
Authors: Dr. Mohammad Shafiullah Kutubi
Published: August 2024

Abstract.
It is a clear fact that Islam is a complete religion that outlines specific punishments (Hudood) for certain crimes, but it leaves some offenses without specifying the punishment to judges.It is known that we live in the present era in a humane society threatened by the European trend, so that young people lose morals and modesty and fall into various obscene crimes. So, this research aims to explain Islam's broad perspective on the consequences of crimes where punishments are left to judges. The goal is to draw attention to these punishments, discourage immoral behaviour, and highlight the importance of studying discretionary punishments (Fiqhuth Ta'zirath). I've conducted research on "Physical Punishment" using descriptive and analytical methods to gather information, the inductive method to extract evidence and scholars' opinions, and the comparative method to compare views on physical Ta'zir. Key findings include that Ta'zir is a punishment not specified by Sharia for certain crimes, and it can vary, involving measures like execution or death penalty, flogging, imprisonment, or banishment, depending on what the judge deems appropriate.For instance, a perpetrator is executed if the crime becomes severe and repeated; flogging serves as reprimand and deterrence, with no set limits. Imprisonment, not bound by a specific duration, aligns with Sharia's general goals. Banishment, understood as deportation or alienation, applies to both imprisonment and exile. Notably, women are not exiled in our time due to increased temptations; instead, they must be imprisoned within their country.
Matn Criticism in Indonesia: Reanalyzing Ali Mustafa Yaqub's Contributions to Ḥadith Studies

Published: August 2024

This article aims to discuss the role and contribution of Ali Mustafa Yaqub's ḥadīth criticism in Indonesia as an effort to maintain the Islamic literary tradition (turāth). In response to the contemporary trend of ignoring or even avoiding ḥadīth criticism, Yaqub, as an Indonesian ḥadīth expert, paid great attention to this issue to ensure that hadīth is used as proof (ḥujjah) of Islamic teachings. By employing a descriptive method to analyze Yaqub's works on matn criticism, this article concludes that Yaqub has provided significant theoretical foundations and practical insights into understanding ḥadīth. His notable contributions to advancing ḥadīth studies while upholding classical turāth as a cornerstone in Islamic scholarship amidst the challenges of globalisation, establish him as a distinguished and influential figure in the field of ḥadīth studies in Indonesia. His work not only enriches the academic discourse but also ensures the continued relevance of traditional ḥadīth scholarship in contemporary contexts.

Gospodarka folwarczna w dobrach klasztoru paulinów pw. św. Andrzeja Apostoła i św. Barbary w latach 1642–1864
Authors: Szpak Jacek
Published: August 2024

W latach 1637–1642 wzniesiono z fundacji prowincjała paulinów o. Andrzeja Gołdonowskiego klasztor i kościół pw. śś. Andrzeja Apostoła i Barbary. W klasztorze funkcjonował nowicjat paulinów polskich oraz studium filozofii. Podstawą jego funkcjonowania były zapisy ziemskie i gospodarka folwarczna w nich prowadzona. Areał całkowity był niewielki i wynosił maksymalnie 70 mórg (ok. 35 ha). Klasztor gospodarował w dwóch folwarkach, z tym że jeden zwany na Ściegnach był wydzierżawiany okolicznej szlachcie lub mieszczanom. Zgodnie z obowiązującymi w XVIII w. i w XIX w. zasadami najważniejszą rolę odgrywała gospodarka roślinna. Natomiast hodowla pełniła rolę pomocniczą dostarczając siły pociągowej, skór, mleka i nabiału. W dobrach klasztoru św. Barbary zachowały się jedynie dwie wzmianki o produkcji propinacyjnej, co wskazuje, że nie produkowano nadwyżek. Towarowość produkcjibyła niewielka, ponieważ rzadko sprzedawano produkcje, a dochody z tego tytułu wynosiły ok. 10% wszystkich przychodów.
Portret zbiorowy uczniów I Liceum Ogólnokształcącego w Szczecinie w latach 1945–1951
Authors: Wróbel Michał
Published: August 2024

Przedmiotem artykułu jest próba dokonania portretu zbiorowego uczniów I Liceum Ogólnokształcącego w Szczecinie z lat 1945-1951. Przyjęte ramy chronologiczne odnoszą się do okresu sprawowania funkcji dyrektorki przez Janinę Szczerską. W bardzo trudnych warunkach egzystencjonalnych kobieta potrafiła bowiem nie tylko stworzyć i to niemal na surowym korzeniu, pierwszą w powojennym Szczecinie szkołę średnią, ale także przekształcić ją w szkołę elitarną. Kierowana przez nią placówka oświatowa znacząco wyróżniała się od innych szczecińskich szkół średnich pod względem norm edukacyjno-wychowawczych. Interesującą kwestią dla autora jest więc próba odpowiedzenia na pytanie, kim była grupa pierwszych uczniów szkoły? Na podstawie zachowanych dokumentów, kronik szkolnych oraz wspomnień autor dokonał analizy takich cech jak: pochodzenie, przeżycia wojenne, płeć, wiek, wyznanie, stan społeczny, czy sytuacja materialna pierwszych uczniów.
Russell’s doctrine of space and time in connection with Kant’s transcendental aesthetics
Authors: Kozlovskyi Viktor
Published: August 2024

Author demonstrates that Russell’s conception of space and time diverges from Kant’s transcendental aesthetics and leans towards logical and mathematical topology. Russell’s approach is grounded in analytical rather than synthetic judgments, contrasting with Kant’s perspective. The British philosopher develops a subjective-psychological model of space and time that complements the logical-mathematical model, serving as the foundation for human experience and cognition. This Russellian model considers the psychological aspects of perceptual and tactile space and time, highlighting their intersection in human perception, which facilitates the experience. It represents a form of «return» to Kant’s subjective theory, albeit on psychological rather than transcendental principles. It is argued that Russell incorporates physical topology into subjective-psychological space and time because he views things as physical objects rather than a complex of sensory associations. This incorporation is indicative of Russell's commitment to neorealism.
