This research aims to find out the problems of the Criminal Code regarding the reformulation of the article on insulting the President and Vice President in the context of a democratic country. The formulation of the problem discussed by the researcher is to significantly review the portion of protection given to the President and Vice President based on the legalized Criminal Code. This research also discusses the implementation of the Primus Interpares principle whether it is in accordance with the existing portion of the law and does not discriminate against the rights of the people in expressing criticism and is in accordance with the principles of democracy. This research includes normative legal research, with data collected based on written regulations and expert opinions. The results of this research show that in the principle of democracy, the relationship between the people and the leader is interrelated, because there is a check and balance mechanism. Therefore, any form of lex specialis protection of the President and Vice President cannot be justified in a country that adheres to the democratic presidential principle. In addition, although the government considers this insult article as a representation of the application of the principle of Primus Interpares, in the rule of Primus Interpares itself, the president cannot be Primus Interpares in cases related to the democratization of power values because the President has become Primus Interpares in running his government.

Published: January 2025

As the global telecommunication sector undergoes a series of technological and operational changes and transformations, outcomes of this study revealed the use of transformational leadership becomes quite essential for soothing and smoothing the seamless change, transition and transformation of telecommunication operators from the undesired old system to the new desired state. Due to the advancement of telecommunication technologies, the global telecommunication sector is undergoing significant radical changes. These changes require new approach to business operations as well as linkage with the market. Combined with a shift and transition of the mobile telecommunication technologies through the chronological generations of mobile telecommunication technologies like 1G(First Generation) to 5G(Fifth Generation) mobile technologies, this implies of all the leadership styles, transformation leadership is quite essential for leveraging the capabilities of the telecommunication businesses to adopt new technologies, practices, culture, approach to managing customer service quality and customer relationship management. Unfortunately, as telecommunication companies experience a series of disruptive changes that are aimed at creating and delivering the best products, services and processes for the customers, lack of transformational leadership has often created chaos and confusion that affect the seamless change and transition to the new ways that can bolster the operational excellence of the telecommunication companies. Telecommunication companies make a lot of technological and technical changes to their operations in order to respond to the changes in customer needs as well as the changing nature of market competition, challenges tend to arise from lack of the accompanying organisational culture change. In effect, new technologies are introduced, but the employees ignore them and continue to use the same old approaches. This undermines the change in behaviours, practices and policies that are essential for enabling the use of the new technologies to create and deliver the desired outcomes for the customers and the business. To respond to such challenges, this study concludes with the recommendation of the transformational leadership framework analogous to Anderson et al.,’s (1994) Quality Management Theory to argue that to attain operational excellence, transformational leadership tends to take center stage during the implementation of any changes aimed at bolstering a firm’s operational excellence.

Published: January 2025

In the context of visualization and digitalization of media consumption, network video content is becoming an important form of university promotion in the educational services market. Based on the analysis of video content presented on the website and in the official public pages of the Voronezh State University of Engineering Technologies in 2020-2024, the article attempts to identify the most effective genres and formats of network video content in terms of forming the university's corporate brand. The purpose ofthe study is to specify the options for audiovisual self-presentation of a university on the Internet. The object of the study is network video content of official public pages and the university website. The subject of the research is the formats and genres of video presentation of a higher educational institution. Commercial, educational, entertainment and informational videos are considered. The potential of university representation is explored within the framework of such genres as advertising video, filming video, animated video advertising or graphic video, combined advertising, viral video, pre-roll, corporate film, image film, presentation video, subject video filming, educational video, educational film, video clip, backstage, reportage, reporting video, news video, video interview. The potential of vertical video in terms of attracting the attention of the audience is explored. During the analysis of network video content, a conclusion is made about the dominance of informational video as a key component of the university's self-presentation. It is emphasized that network video content at the present stage of development of the media sphere is represented, as a rule, by two types of media materials: professional (created by the university press service or traditional media) and amateur (created by publishers representing the student and teaching staff of the university). The first type of content is distinguished by strict adherence to the formed brand book and tone of voice of the university, and is published in official public pages and on the university website. The second type is aimed at a youth audience and is published on social networks - both in official public pages and in unofficial communities. The combination of these two types of content forms the image of the university in the network environment.

Published: January 2025

Currently, a new perspective is highlighted in the methodology of teaching German as a foreign language, based on the pluricentric nature of the German language. The recognition of pluricentricity as a result of the independent historical, political, economic, and cultural development of each German-speaking country has determined the need to teach German as a foreign language, taking into account the linguistic and pragmatic differences existing in national variants. The article considers an approach to teaching German as a foreign language in higher education, taking into account the linguistic features of the Austrian version. The appeal to the topic is caused by the need for understanding and interpretation by students of literary texts of modern Austrian literature, as well as fruitful interaction with partners in the Austrian Reading Room project of Magnitogorsk State Technical University. The aim of the study is to develop a training module that includes the lexical and grammatical features of the Austrian version. The main research methods are the theoretical analysis of scientific literature on the subject under study, observation, text analysis and generalization of experience. In the course of the study, a typology of structural and semantic differences in the vocabulary of the German language and the Austrian version of the German language was developed, as well as grammatical differences that can lead to negative interference were highlighted. A training module was created on the basis of this linguistic material. The obtained practical results can be used when reading fiction for its deeper interpretation, as well as when teaching students German as a foreign language, interpretation and translation. The theoretical results of the conducted research can be recommended to teachers of the German language of language specialties.

Published: January 2025

In this article, immersive learning is considered as a factor of increasing the readiness of future teachers to carry out professional activities: their level of development of all types of speech skills increases, learning is productive, the process of involvement in foreign language communication promotes orientation towards pedagogical activity. Turning to innovative digital technologies corresponds to the spirit of the times and social order of society, allows organizing work using authentic materials taking into account the level of complexity, develops critical thinking of students. Immersion in virtual reality makes it possible to use various forms of work, creatively approach the process of teaching a foreign language and develop methodological materials that are authentic in accordance with the set goals and objectives, and create the effect of immersion and presence in the country of the studied language. On the other hand, such training is practice-oriented, equips future teachers with methodological tools that satisfy modern requirements. The authors note that immersive learning allows for a creative approach to the process of developing productive speech skills, using such forms of work as contacting a voice assistant, making a phone call to obtain information; authentic materials on various Internet platforms can be used to develop all types of reading and listening skills; such types of tasks as filling out forms, questionnaires, registering on websites, writing and posting a resume are suitable for developing writing skills. The use of VR glasses (visiting an immersive cinema) allows students to immerse themselves in “reality” and affect all senses. The goal of this form of work is to activate the students' cognitive interest, develop their emotional sphere and creative abilities. Thus, the integration of immersive learning into the traditional educational process, according to the authors, gives the learning process an authentic character, allows future teachers to become full participants in foreign language communication, try on various social roles. All this removes psychological barriers, stimulates the cognitive activity of students, motivates them to further study of foreign language and to use innovative digital technologies in their future professional activities.

Published: January 2025

In the modern educational process, student motivation for learning is a key aspect. Jan Amos Comenius emphasized the importance of awakening interest in studying through feelings and reasoning, which is relevant today as well. Student success depends on the interest that educators instill from the very first lessons, making primary school teachers central figures in education.The development of emotional intelligence plays a significant role in mastering subjects and the overall process. The Federal State Educational Standard describes the “portrait of a graduate” which includes curiosity, respect for values, and kindness. Nurturing such qualities is impossible without developing emotional intelligence, which fosters trusting relationships. It is important to distinguish between personal and social competencies that create a positive communication atmosphere.Modern parents actively raise their children; however, they sometimes overlook the importance of the psychological aspect of upbringing. While schools focus on academic knowledge, emotional development often remains in the shadows, requiring a reevaluation of teaching approaches.Low social activity in children leads to insecurity and decreased academic performance. Involving younger students in community projects, such as work initiatives and environmental activities, enhances their self-esteem and discipline, while also developing emotional intelligence.The work of the school theater in the 4th grade increased interest in learning and improved academic success, especially among struggling students. The introduction of “Slavinka” as school currency motivates children to achieve, and participation in Olympiads increased academic performance by 13.2%. This system fosters both hard and soft skills, shaping a desire for self-development.

Authors: Kirab Fahmiya D. , Macabinta Jeddah G. , P. Castino John Michael
Published: January 2025

This study explores the feasibility of introducing a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Security Management (BSISM) program at Sultan Kudarat State University (SKSU) Palimbang Campus. Currently, the campus offers limited programs—Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEED) and Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness (BSAB)—leading to stagnation in enrollment and significant educational and employment challenges for the local community. A thorough feasibility study revealed strong support for the proposed program based on a survey among 1,033 senior high school students from the four high schools in the municipality of Palimbang, and focus group discussions (FGDs) with nine BEED students, five parents, five teachers, and eight community leaders, ensuring that participant selection criteria included diversity in roles, representativeness, and availability to enhance methodological rigor. BSISM addresses gender inequality, out-of-school youth, and job market saturation while supporting local youth’s career goals, especially in law enforcement and security. The results demonstrate that BSISM is a workable way to increase accessibility to higher education, diversify academic offerings, and promote community development.

The market, technical, management, and financial studies for the BSISM program at SKSU Palimbang suggest a promising outlook for the program’s success, contingent on addressing key challenges. The demand for the program is evident, with a high level of student interest and strong support from local stakeholders. The program’s focus on gender balance, particularly by appealing to male students in traditionally male-dominated fields like security management, aligns with current trends in higher education. Furthermore, the program’s curriculum, infrastructure, and commitment to hands-on training position it as a valuable asset to the local community and job market.

This study further emphasizes the program’s potential to enhance local employment opportunities by addressing the mismatch between graduates’ qualifications and available jobs. With the growing demand for industrial security and law enforcement professionals, BSISM graduates would be equipped with specialized skills to meet these needs in both public and private sectors. Additionally, the program could alleviate the oversaturation of BEED graduates in the local job market, reducing underemployment and fostering a more balanced workforce. However, risks such as financial constraints, faculty recruitment challenges, and reliance on external partnerships must be carefully managed to ensure the program’s sustainability. By offering a career pathway aligned with regional demands, the BSISM program represents a strategic response to the socioeconomic challenges faced by the community.

Authors: Castro Queenie Anne S. , X Region
Published: January 2025

Reading is a crucial skill for students, yet many still struggle with reading performance, hindering their learning and understanding. Studies suggests that frustration readers need to develop their reading skills to improve academic performance. Students with low reading performance also perform poorly in English and other subjects. They have lower reading assessments than their current grade level, leading to difficulties in learning different subjects, increased class failure, and increased risk of bullying. Therefore, it is essential for educators to address these issues to improve students’ reading abilities. Frustration readers are students with low reading capability and scores in reading below their age level. This study explored the contributing factors to the difficulty in reading among the Senior High School students of Pulot National High School. A purposive sampling technique was used in identifying six Grade 11 students who served as the participants for this study. This study utilized a case study design using Yin’s method of data analysis. A researcher-made interview guide was used as the research instrument. Findings revealed that frustration readers in Senior High School were due to a lack of interest in reading, lack of parental support, and lack of time for school work. These resulted in poor academic performance, a source of bullying, and a feeling of envy. A teacher and peer-assisted reading can help the students address their concerns in reading. It is recommended that students will be enjoined to assisted reading which may be conducted more than three times a week. Assisted reading in the form of tutoring can effectively help students achieve success in reading.

Published: January 2025

This study investigates the relationship between principals’ authentic leadership practices and teachers’ job motivation within Excellence Cluster Secondary Schools (Sekolah Kluster Kecemerlangan, SKK) in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Authentic leadership, characterized by integrity, ethical decision-making, and genuine behavior, has been underscored in the Malaysian Education Development Plan (PPPM) 2013–2025. Through its Fifth Shift, the PPPM emphasizes the need for high-performance leaders in schools to meet the evolving demands of global education. Despite this focus, research indicates that some school principals still fall short in executing their roles effectively. This study, therefore, aims to examine the correlation between the level of authentic leadership exhibited by principals and the resultant job motivation among teachers. Employing a quantitative methodology, the study utilized purposive sampling to gather responses from 187 teachers across three SKKs in Johor Bahru through a structured questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted via the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 20, and revealed a significant positive correlation between principals’ authentic leadership practices and teachers’ job motivation, as determined by the Spearman Correlation Test. Based on these findings, the study recommends enhancing authentic leadership through ongoing training, recognition programs, and a commitment to positive reinforcement. Future research should expand this work through qualitative approaches and broader demographic sampling to explore authentic leadership impacts across varied educational settings, including private institutions and other school types under the Malaysian Ministry of Education.

Published: January 2025

This conceptual paper explores the innovative utilization of edible leftovers as a solution to the global issue of food waste and its intersection with food security. Food waste, particularly edible leftovers, presents a paradox where nutritious food is discarded while millions face food insecurity. Edible leftovers are an underutilized resource that can bridge the gap between excess food and hunger, benefiting both the environment and economy. The paper examines global food waste statistics, highlighting Malaysia as a case study. It emphasizes the environmental impact of decomposing food in landfills, which releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas. The paper reviews various strategies for repurposing edible leftovers, such as converting them into value-added products and redistributing them through food sharing platforms. Furthermore, the study discusses the economic benefits of reducing food waste for individuals, businesses, and society. The analysis also explores policy and regulatory challenges, noting the importance of clear guidelines to promote the redistribution of edible leftovers safely. Despite the potential benefits, barriers such as societal attitudes and logistical issues hinder widespread adoption. The paper underscores the need for innovative solutions and policy interventions to fully leverage edible leftovers in addressing food insecurity and reducing waste. By tapping into this underutilized resource, the paper advocates for a more sustainable and equitable food system.

The diagnosis of a pseudoaneurysm was confirmed by Doppler ultrasonography, which identified a swirling flow pattern. Persistent pain symptoms and ineffective conservative treatment necessitated surgery.Case Discussion: This case highlights the importance of vigilance in identifying rare complications such as radial artery pseudoaneurysm following coronary angiography. Conclusion: Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management strategies, including surgical intervention, when necessary, are crucial for optimal patient outcomes.

Penyakit paru interstisial (PPI) adalah manifestasi ekstraglandular tersering pada Sindrom Sjogren primer (SSp), suatu penyakit reumatik autoimun dengan prevalens tertinggi kedua. Tinjauan pustaka ini bertujuan untuk membahas PPI pada SSp (PPI-SSp), mulai dari aspek epidemiologi, kriteria klasifikasi penyakit, pemantauan aktivitas penyakit, patogenesis, pendekatan diagnostik, hingga tata laksana. Kriteria klasifikasi SSp menurut American College of Rheumatology (ACR) dan European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) tahun 2016 berguna untuk menegakkan diagnosis SSp. Penilaian tingkat aktivitas penyakit dapat menggunakan EULAR Sjogren’s Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI). Perkembangan autoimunitas terhadap sel epitel merupakan mekanisme patogenesis SSp pada kelenjar eksokrin dan ekstraglandular, termasuk paru. Modalitas diagnostik utama yang direkomendasikan dalam penapisan dan pemantauan PPI pada SSp adalah uji fungsi paru dan high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) toraks. Pilihan terapi sistemik pada PPI-SSp meliputi glukokortikoid, agen imunosupresif, dan obat biologis.

Dalam beberapa dekade, dunia menghadapi tantangan ganda dalam hal kesehatan gizi, yaitu meningkatnya angka obesitas pada ibu dan tingginya prevalensi stunting pada anak. Data dari Badan Kesehatan Dunia tahun 2022 menunjukkan bahwa lebih dari 2,5 miliar orang dewasa mengalami kelebihan berat badan atau obesitas, dan 44% dari jumlah tersebut adalah perempuan. Kondisi ini tidak hanya terjadi di negara maju, tetapi juga di negara-negara berpenghasilan rendah dan menengah. Survei Nasional memperlihatkan bahwa prevalensi obesitas pada perempuan dewasa (lebih dari18 tahun) mengalami peningkatan yaitu 29,3% (Riset Kesehatan Dasar 2018) menjadi 31,2% (Survei Kesehatan Indonesia 2023).

Published: January 2025

Compared to traditional studies on land use change, research on land use transformation offers a more effective way to reveal the trends and patterns of land use changes at the regional scale. Inspired by international studies on land use transformation, the author, Song Xiaoqing, has written The Theory and Practice of Arable Land Use Transformation, which includes eight chapters. This study proposes a theoretical framework for land use transformation that considers the mutual influence of patterns and functions, and identifies the key research directions for arable land use transformation. Based on this, it analyzes the trends of arable land use transformation in 19 representative countries, as well as in China, revealing the basic pathways of China's arable land use transformation and the new challenges it faces in terms of vulnerability to biological disasters. This book, grounded in China's national context, suggests a practical pathway for regulating arable land use transformation through multifunctional land management.
