Published: August 2023

В статті розкрито сутність стану сучасної світової економіки, яка стоїть на порозі нового якісного розвитку, підвалинами чого є економіка знань. Авторами визначено, що в якості основного економічного ресурсу в нових умовах висуваються знання, а їх джерелом є людський капітал. В статті зазначається, що за своєю сутністю економіка знать сприяє загальній децентралізації та лібералізації економічних відносин, тому в якості інкубаторів по розвитку людського капіталу в бізнес-середовищі виступають бізнес-спільноти. Авторами проведено класифікацію бізнес-спільнот, визначено їх основні завдання та особливості формування людського капіталу в нових умовах. У статті наведено авторське визначення дефініцій «людський капітал», «економіка знань» та «бізнес-спільнота», визначено подальші напрямки дослідження теми, які полягають у розробці алгоритму управління людським капіталом та інструментів стимулювання його розвитку.

Studies suggest that, at the routine level, news beats function as unique “micro-cultures.” Exploring this “particularist” approach in news content, we compare how the interventionist, watchdog, loyal, service, infotainment, and civic roles materialize across 11 thematic news beats and analyze the moderating effect of platforms, ownership, and levels of political freedom on journalistic role performance in hard and soft news. Based on the second wave of the Journalistic Role Performance (JRP) project, this article reports the findings of a content analysis of 148,474 news items from 37 countries. Our results reveal the transversality of interventionism, the strong associations of some topics and roles, and the limited reach of news beat particularism in the face of moderating variables.

Published: August 2023

This article aims to explain the effectiveness of da'wah in the form of delivering messages through trends (PesanTrend) in the digital era with the use of social media, especially Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube and to compare the effectiveness of conventional da'wah with Pesantrend da'wah. By utilizing internet facilities, millennial preachers can create Islamic content that is packaged in slang and related to stories of daily life and can be added with funny things so that it can attract and invite the younger generation to watch and apply it for good. This research is a descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The sample of this study were Indonesian citizens of generation Z aged 18-22 years. The data collection technique used was in the form of an online questionnaire containing questions about the message of da'wah contained in the social media content of Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube. The data obtained were then analyzed descriptively by means of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Based on the results of the study, it can be seen that Instagram tends to be preferred by Generation Z than Youtube and Facebook. This is because Generation Z tends to prefer Islamic content in the form of images rather than videos or writings because image media is considered more attractive and easy to understand. In addition, the current generation of Z also tends to prefer the message of Trending Da'wah to conventional da'wah such as lectures, studies, Islamic learning, and so on

Published: August 2023

The hospital provides services in inpatient, outpatient and emergency departments. The increase in the number of hospitals every year from 2016 amounted to 2046, expanding in 2021 to a total of 2514 public hospitals in Indonesia. (Statistics Center data for 2016-2021). This shows that the level of hospital competition is getting tighter, so the demands for hospitals to improve nurse performance are getting higher. Work performance can be affected by several things, including stress and workload based; research in local Indian hospitals showed 34% of nurses experienced moderate stress, and as many as 2% experienced high stress, to cause physical and mental health problems; another study involving nurse subjects at Makassar hospital also showed nurses who experienced stress and felt a heavy workload until work performance decreased by 91.7%. This study aims to see the relationship and significant influence between work stress and nurse workload on nurses' work performance. The research method is a cross-sectional analytical study and a method of research sampling with total sampling techniques. The results of univariate studies showed that most subjects were female, 65.7%, age range 26-30 years, high level of work stress (53.9%), and moderate workload (76.3%). The bivariate results in this study showed a relationship between nurses' work stress and workload (p value 0.024). Research shows no workload relationship to work performance (p value 0.84). The results of multivariate analysis with logistic regression showed that the variable work stress was associated with p value 0.011, with high stress having 11,014 times and low stress 3.522 against low work performance. The conclusion of the study can be seen in the relationship of work performance variables to stress, and high stress causes nurses to have a risk of 11,014 times experiencing low work performance.

Authors: Alasgarova Gunel A.
Published: August 2023

It is crucial to examine the alignment of different exam results conducted by various organizations to improve the quality of assessment. The research used a document analysis method with recent, publicly available national and international reports addressing the research question. The following main question was examined through the document analysis: What exams have the highest correlation and are more trustworthy in Azerbaijan for short and long-term outcomes? The data were analyzed to discover any statistical comparisons of university admission exams with the 9th and 11th grade SEC exams, school grades, and other assessments. Research shows that the State Examination Center’s exams align with its own evaluations and international assessment (OECD). They can be considered methodologically rigorous, providing a more valid yardstick for measuring student knowledge and achievement. Overall, exams by the SEC had a high correlation coefficient compared to Higher Education Institutions’ assessments. As more and more international students want to pursue their education in Azerbaijan, these findings can be valuable for their decision-making and tertiary level.

POSITIVE THINKING PRACTICES IN SCHOOLS
Authors: Gür Çağla , Eser Başak
Published: August 2023

This study was conducted within the scope of the Positive Schools Project to shed light on teachers' perspectives on reflecting positive thinking in their own branches and practices in the teaching environment. Twenty-four teachers who received training within the scope of the project and agreed to participate in the study voluntarily were included in the study. Phenomenology was used as the research design. The content analysis was used to analyze the data obtained through interviews during the research process. Based on the results of the analyses performed, tables describing the themes, sub-themes, and codes were created, and explanations representing the views of the teachers were provided. The findings of the study revealed that teachers from all levels of education, from pre-school to upper secondary school, think that there is a need for activities on positive thinking and that they can transfer the understanding of positive thinking to their branches. When the views of teachers on the need for activities to be developed within the scope of positive thinking for their students were examined, the themes of difficulties in adaptation to school, the trauma process, and the need for effective communication-interaction emerged. Teachers suggested activities for self-awareness, unity awareness, and awareness of contribution within the scope of positive thinking in schools. In addition to the views of teachers on positive thinking, the study points to some negative situations that teachers have observed in their students. These negative situations include dysfunctional self-confidence, dissatisfaction with possessions, non-functional goals or goals for saving the day, and difficulties in purposeful planning.

Education in the 21st century has become more technology integrated, and the shift from conventional modalities of teaching to technology-assisted teaching methodologies accelerated during the pandemic years. The current study employed a qualitative research design (n=12) to explore this shift and the expectations of these novel teaching modalities from both facilitator and learner perspectives in urban higher education settings in India. An inductive thematic analysis of the qualitative data revealed that there is a significant gap in lecturers’ and students’ definitions and expectations of smart learning environments. The themes that emerged from the data were bifurcated into lecturer and student perspectives on smart learning environments and included innovative nature, novelty and complexity, student excitement, and limitations of content. Based on the findings, lecturer and student expectations of SLE platforms had points of convergence and divergence which are unique to the socio-cultural positions of the participants. The current study argues the need to devise methods to improve the efficacy of SLEs in developing economies.

School climate is an important concept in the field of education. Therefore, the aim of this study was to adapt the School Climate Questionnaire for use with Azerbaijani adolescents and explore the relationships between school climate, psychological distress, academic self-efficacy, and mental wellbeing. Data were collected from 1204 adolescents in Azerbaijan using convenience sampling. During the adaptation process, confirmatory factor analysis, criterion-related validity, and reliability analyses were performed. Additionally, the relationships between school climate and psychological distress, academic self-efficacy, and mental wellbeing were examined using PROCESS mediational analysis. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the scale consisted of 22 items, had a three-dimensional structure, and showed a good fit. Moreover, the results showed that school climate was negatively associated with depression, anxiety, and stress, and positively related to academic self-efficacy and mental well-being. Lastly, the results revealed that school climate had a mediating effect on mental well-being via psychological distress and academic self-efficacy. All of these results suggest that the Azerbaijani version of the School Climate Questionnaire has acceptable psychometric properties.

Published: August 2023

Emergency obstetric care (EmOC) has dramatically lowered the maternal death rate in Bangladesh since the early 1990s. Rising caesarean section rates over the past ten years have had an impact on the nation's economy in addition to other signs of better mother care. According to demographic and health surveys, caesarean section rates increased from 3.5% in 2004 to 23% in 2014. Women who become pregnant after 35 years, live in cities, have a higher level of education and frequently use antenatal services have a greater average annual rate of prevalence in caesarean sections. The objective was to assess the indications and the trends of caesarean sections done over a two-month period. The study of prevalence and determinants of caesarean section was conducted in a renowned private hospital in Dhaka. Among 197 women who were admitted to the department of obstetrics and gynecology, the number of total deliveries was 175 (89% of total admission). The indications varied a little in cases of lower abdominal pain and preeclampsia. Antepartum hemorrhage (APH) and breech have a small proportion (about 5% both). The proportion of repeated caesarean sections was 47%. Recently the indication of a maternal choice is also coming up (11%). The data were compared and analyzed to determine if the indications were significant enough for cesarean delivery. Although a caesarean section is currently a relatively safe obstetrical procedure, it is advised that the indications should be carefully evaluated in order to lower caesarean section rates.

Assessing Knowledge, Skills and Capacities in Environmental Management: A Study on Bangladesh
Authors: Rahman Md Mafizur , Hussain Akhter
Published: August 2023

In Bangladesh, there is a gap in environmental understanding, one of the most critical issues that make the development process extremely challenging. Therefore, Bangladesh needs adequate knowledge, capacity, and skills in environmental management. This objective warranted an assessment of available capacity and needs for specific knowledge and skills in environmental management. Data and information were collected from primary and secondary sources. The primary level information was collected through in-depth interviews and observation. For secondary information, both published and unpublished literature were studied. In Bangladesh, to address ever-increasing environmental problems, government interventions and policy initiatives, academic programmes, research initiatives, and environmental activism became quite visible in the mid-nineties of the last century. In the academic arena, two types of initiatives became prominent. First, the environmental dimension was added to some of the existing academic disciplines of different public universities to develop knowledge and skills. On the other hand, some public and private universities in Bangladesh introduced new academic programs specifically focusing on the environment. However, in public universities where environmental education has been introduced as an addition or extension to parent disciplines, only a limited number of courses on environmental management have been introduced. This has left aside other pertinent areas of environmental management from the purview of the educational programme. The disciplines that included environmental management in their domains still emphasize on their parent subject areas. Therefore, it is recommended to introduce a comprehensive education programme consisting of environmentrelated courses with suitable bearings on environmental management.

Raden Aria Wangsakara's house is an architectural heritage object in Kampung Lengkong Kyai in Tangerang. He is a scholar from Sumedang and a prince from the Cirebon Sultanate, who has an important relationship with the history of Banten and Jayakarta in general, and Tangerang and Tigaraksa in particular. At a glance, his house is similar to Betawi houses or like traditional houses on the north coast of Sunda-Banten, which are multicultural in general. What are the characteristics of this house? This study intends to analyze the architectural characteristics of this house using a qualitative approach in the form of a case study. This analysis was carried out to analyze and verify the type of space, type of form, and type of building style. The results of this study indicate the type of space and the type of form that still follows the Sundanese house but is modified in the context of the local physical environment which is close to the Cisadane River and the context of a multicultural environment. The style type of the house borrowed and received some elements of Indo-Islamic, Arabic, and European Colonial styles.
Surprising biology in uncharted microbial sequences
Authors:   , von Meijenfeldt Frederik Alexander Bastiaan
Published: August 2023

The microbiome, all microorganisms in their natural habitat, can be collected on filters and its DNA extracted. Sequencing of this metagenome allows us to observe microorganisms not under a microscope or in the lab but via their DNA and in their natural habitat, revealing who they are and what they can do. Uncharted microbial sequences from the environment hold potential to change our view of the tree of life, by uncovering a vast microbial diversity that is not easily cultivated in the lab.

Novel microorganisms with surprising biological traits await discovery in newly sequenced metagenomes. In addition, environmental sequences published by others are available in public databases, waiting to be further explored. The chapters of this thesis describe the search for unexpected biology in environmental sequences, both in newly sequenced datasets and in those already published. Reanalysis of already published datasets allows for comparisons between microbiomes from many different habitats, and for classical ecological questions to be addressed on the global scale. The chapters also describe the design of algorithms and tools to taxonomically annotate sequences from previously unknown microorganisms that are common in underexplored habitats and still surface in those more intensely studied like human-associated or marine habitats, and to use these annotations for an accurate and comprehensive view of the microbiome.

Surprising biology is found deep down in the Black Sea, where elusive bacteria include archaeal-type lipids in their cell membrane, challenging a once-thought fundamental divide across the tree of life in the molecular composition of the membrane. Surprising biology is also found in the discovery of structural colour—the striking display of changing colours depending on the angle of observation—in the bacterial domain and in many different microbial habitats, including curiously the deep ocean where no light penetrates. By reanalysis of thousands of environmental sequencing studies across a wide range of habitats and geographical locations, the social niche breadth of microorganisms—the range of communities in which each lives—is quantified and ecological and genomic correlates of microbial specialism versus generalism are revealed.

Together, the chapters paint a picture of a microbial world that is still largely left uncharted. With the development of new algorithms and tools, and the (re)analysis of large-scale data, this thesis uncovers a fraction of that vast microbial unknown.
Indonesia’s Foreign Policy in Promoting a Moderate Islamic Identity after the Reform
Authors: Naim Sidrotun , Mokodenseho Sabil
Published: August 2023

This study aims to analyze the factors that have led to changes in Indonesia’s foreign policy, which initially avoided the emergence of a moderate Islamic identity but currently makes efforts to promote it. The research is essential as it sheds light on Indonesia’s foreign policy practices, which have historically refrained from emphasizing an Islamic identity, despite the country’s predominantly Muslim population. Furthermore, this research holds significant importance as it addresses the negative perceptions of Islam, which have often associated it with terrorism, intolerance, and opposition to peace, particularly from Western perspectives. In this study, the researchers utilized a qualitative descriptive method employing content analysis techniques to analyze the collected data. The examination of Indonesia’s foreign policy reveals its aspirations to pursue international interests by actively engaging in maintaining global peace and prioritizing a moderate Islamic identity. This study concludes that a moderate Islamic identity, as a facet of identity, is not inherently problematic or conflict-ridden; rather, it has the potential to bridge the divide between the West and Islam. Moreover, Western countries express their desire to cultivate networks of moderate Islam and view Indonesia as a competent partner in countering global terrorist networks. This cooperation stems from the shared principles of democracy and respect for human rights upheld by both the West and Indonesia.

This study investigated the effectiveness of the Herringbone technique in improving reading comprehension skills among class XI students. The research followed a quasi-experimental design, with an experimental group receiving instruction using the Herringbone technique and a control group receiving traditional instruction. Pre-test and post-test assessments were conducted to measure the participants' reading comprehension abilities. The results indicated a significant improvement in the reading comprehension scores of the experimental group compared to the control group. These findings suggest that the Herringbone technique is more effective than traditional methods in enhancing reading comprehension skills. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of incorporating interactive and collaborative instructional approaches in English language teaching to foster critical thinking and deeper understanding of texts. Future research should explore the long-term effects and applicability of the Herringbone technique in diverse educational contexts. Overall, the Herringbone technique shows promise as an effective approach to enhance reading comprehension instruction and support language development among students.
