The Impact of Lebanese Middle Class Parental Practices on Youth Maladjustment
Authors:   , Dagher Bassous Rachel
Published: July 2024

Based on results of previous western research, associations regarding three parental dimensions (parental psychological control, parental behavioral control, and parental support) and a measure of Anxiety/Depression and Delinquency were assessed in a sample of Lebanese middle class youth (N=214). All data were adolescent self-reports by way of school administered questionnaires, in convenient samples of two English schools. Bi-variate correlations, and linear regression were conducted to test for the hypotheses. Several associations were revealed between parenting dimensions and youth outcomes including: a positive relationship between paternal psychological control and anxiety/depression among youth; a negative relationship between parental behavioral control and delinquency; and a negative relationship between both paternal support and anxiety/depression and parental support and delinquency among youth. Results across gender and grade level are discussed further.
The Effect of Chronotypes on Motivation and Academic Achievement in Elementary Students
Authors:   , Yoghourdjian Lale
Published: July 2024

The present study examined the effect of the time-of-day preference of a sample of elementary students (N=103) on their motivation level and on their overall academic achievement. The study relied on self-report measures where participants were asked to provide demographic information and fill two questionnaires: The Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) and the elementary School Motivation Scale (ESMS). The scores of both questionnaires were later analyzed along with the yearly GPA of the students. Results were computed using analyses of correlation and variance. The results of the study showed that academic achievement is positively correlated with morningness (r=.61) as well as motivation (r=.71) and that morning-preferring students (larks) tend to be more intrinsically motivated than evening-preferring students (owls).

Authors:   , Tutunji Sana Samir
Published: July 2024

These last couple of decades ethics have become a vital and intrinsic part of the world’s cultural, political, and business landscape. We see large numbers of people rebelling against their corrupt and unethical governments, and big businesses collapsing and causing tremendous amounts of damage to the economic and social welfare of their communities because of unethically and mismanaged management practices. I will be studying whether ethics in Lebanese companies affect performance and which of the independent variables affect each of the dependent variables. The methodology used to study my research question was through the analysis of the data obtained by administering a questionnaire. The sample of my study was one hundred four employees. The results were analyzed using various statistical techniques such as descriptive analysis, correlation, regression, and one way Anova. Our results indicate that ethics affect performance of companies in Lebanon as perceived by employees. It also affects employee motivation and engagement in work activities but not to the extent that employees change their workplace. We found a significant relationship between all factors.

The influence of sexualized violence in ads was assessed on consumer's attitudes towards advertising variables and rape myth beliefs. The study was conducted on 240 participants (males=120, females=120), divided between university students and working individuals. An experimental design was utilized, and results were computed using ANOVA and two way analysis of variance, to explain them in socialization role and different age groups. The findings revealed that consumers' attitudes towards ad, firm and purchase intentions varied significantly across the three ad conditions, but their attitudes toward acceptance of violence was nor influenced. Gender also showed a significant effect on all the attitude scales, across the three ad conditions, while age only played a major role in attitude towards firm and acceptance of sexual violence against women.
Intuitive Eating, Body Dissatisfaction, Self-esteem, BMI, and Relationship Satisfaction among University Students in Lebanon
Authors:   , Tekeyan Maria
Published: July 2024

The topic of this thesis is centered on identifying associations between intuitive eating and self esteem, body dissatisfaction, body mass index and relationship satisfaction, as well as examining gender difference in intuitive eating. The results were based on the analysis of participants' scores on the Intuitive Eating Scale, Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale, Marital Taxon Self-report Measure, and Body dissatisfaction subscale from the Eating Disorder Inventory. The participants were 132 randomly selected students (65 males and 67 females) from six major universities in Lebanon. Results were consistent to the original hypotheses; individuals who scored high on intuitive eating were more satisfied in their relationships, had higher self-esteem, lower body dissatisfaction and lower body mass index. Contradictory to the hypothesis, a significant mean difference was found between males and females, rejecting the hypothesis that males and females score alike when it comes to intuitive eating. The results propose new treatment plans and dieting strategies for weight loss patients.
Self-compassion and its Relationship to Narcissism and Codependence in Psychology Students
Authors:   , Matraji Nabil
Published: July 2024

This study examined the relationship between Self-Compassion and Narcissism and Codependence among psychology students. The purpose of the study was to highlight the importance of Self-Compassion in the trainings of psychology students by showing that Self-Compassion is negatively correlated with Narcissism and Codependence. In addition, it was proposed that Codependence negatively correlates with Narcissism. Moreover, it was proposed that Self-Compassion will correlate positively with the three subscales of Narcissism that constitute 'positive' Narcissism (Authority, Superiority and Self-sufficiency) and will correlate negatively with the four subscales of Narcissism that constitute 'pathological' Narcissism (Exploitativeness, Exhibitionism, Entitlement and Vanity). Furthermore, it was hypothesized that Self-Compassion would correlate positively with age. The sample constituted of 97 psychology students from 3 different universities. The students completed The Self-Compassion Scale, The Spann – Fischer Codependence Scale, and The Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI-40-item). Findings confirmed that Codependence correlated negatively with Self-Compassion while Narcissism showed no correlation. No correlation was found between Narcissism and Codependence. Findings also showed a weak positive correlation between Self-Compassion and Self-Sufficiency which is one of the three subscales of NPI that indicate positive Narcissism; the results were not significant to support the claim that Self-Compassion correlated positively with the three subscales of Narcissism. No correlation was found between Self-Compassion and age.

Authors: Andi Eki Dwi Wahyuni  , Rama Bahaking , Syamsuddin Syamsuddin
Published: July 2024

The history of Islamic education in Java not only reflects changes in religious teaching approaches and methods, but also is a mirror of broader changes in Javanese society. Islam first entered Java in the 14th century, precisely in 1399 AD. Islam was introduced by Maulana Malik Ibrahim, an Arab who once lived in Gujarat, India with his nephew named Mahdum Ishaq. He and his nephew were in Gresik, East Java to start spreading Islamic education. Walisongo is reviewed from the personality classified as a lover of Allah when viewed in terms of the strategy of his duties and functions in the Demak kingdom he is the ruler of the government, that's why he obtained the title Walisongo was given the title of "Sunan" which has the meaning of "respected" because in spreading Islam the guardians always provide solutions to the problems that exist in people's lives through friendly practice and teaching. The Guardians have their respective karomah and uniqueness in the view of the community. Walisongo who has a very broad knowledge and understanding of religion so that the spread of religion in Java is very easy. In addition, the combination or synergy between ulama and Umara makes the spread of Islam in Java wider even outside Java, namely the eastern part of Indonesia and Kalimantan whose influence is wider until now.
The contribution of social networks to organisational learning in an industrial family business
Authors: Purvis Beinn , Zhang Maocai
Published: July 2024

It appears that research rarely focuses on the specificity of the types of organisation studied, or when it does, it focuses on public organisations. Yet, varying organisational contexts allows for a more robust progressive theoretical construction. This article therefore asks: to what extent do social networks contribute to industrial family firms exhibiting the characteristics of the learning organisation?  We use the theoretical framework of the learning organisation and its seven dimensions to analyse a single case study based on an industrial family business based in China in which two social networks are increasingly used. The results highlight their complementary contribution to organisational learning. We conclude by elaborating on the theoretical contributions and managerial implications of this research.

In Math, Culture Also Counts: A Case Study on the Integration of Ilokano Culture in Teaching Mathematics
Authors: Randolf M. Agup  , Rosanne S. Agup
Published: July 2024

Mathematics education should become holistic, relevant, and connected with learners’ everyday lives, including their culture. This qualitative study aimed to explore the integration of the Ilokano culture in Teaching Mathematics at the University of Northern Philippines (UNP) in Vigan City, Ilocos Sur, through a case study qualitative research approach. Findings showed that there is an integration of Ilokano culture in teaching mathematics in UNP. Ilokano culture is primarily used to motivate students or introduce new concepts. The integration of Ilokano culture establishes connections between the faculty and their students and their cultural heritage. The faculty participants also used culture-related examples and problems to emphasize mathematical concepts. Various elements of Ilokano culture are embedded in the teaching-learning process, the language, practices, values, known figures, landmarks, and crafts included. A culture-responsive structure exists in UNP as evidenced by its vision, mission, and developmental goals, which stress preserving and promoting its rich cultural heritage. Difficulties in Ilokano culture integration include inadequacy in knowledge about culture and formal preparation in culture integration and culture-relevant resource materials. The integration of culture into the mathematics curriculum makes it more relevant to the students; thus, it is recommended that teachers design learning experiences in mathematics classes based on the students' cultural background.

Authors: Joy Caren R. Tablante  , Edelyn A. Cadorna
Published: July 2024

The Department of Education created a conditional food transfer program to improve the health and school performance of Filipino children. This descriptive correlational study focused on the impact of the School-Based Feeding Program (SBFP) of public elementary school beneficiaries in the Schools Division of Ilocos Sur for School Year 2019-2020. It involved 625 school heads, teachers, representatives of partner organizations, and parents from the top 11 districts with the most number of severely wasted beneficiaries. The findings revealed that partner organizations highly supported the feeding program in terms of financial and technical resources. SBFP is very highly implemented through the effective utilization of its operational guidelines and well-managed strategies of its eligible and complementary activities. Moreover, it facilitates the rehabilitation of the nutritional status of the beneficiaries, contributes to high classroom attendance, and improves their health and nutritional values and behaviors. In addition, the feeding program is also effective in the attainment of high school performance with decreased dropout rate, increased promotion rate, and reduced repetition rate for the last three years. The respondents raised the following concerns: the incapacity of parents to consistently attend meal preparation and cooking, presence of repeat beneficiaries, delayed budget release, extra effort in buying commodities with receipts, and SBFP Core groups not always following the usual cycle menu. Therefore, the researcher crafted an intervention plan to improve the implementation and impact of the feeding program.

Published: July 2024

This study aimed to determine the gender mainstreaming efforts of student organizations at the University of Northern Philippines. It also identified the challenges met by the student leaders in mainstreaming gender in their respective organizations. The respondents of the survey conducted were the officers of student formations and accredited organizations who attended the executive-legislative assembly sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs and Services. The researchers employed a qualitative approach using documentary analysis to determine the gender mainstreaming efforts of student organizations. The researchers used the Gender Mainstreaming Evaluation Framework as their guide, particularly along the four entry points: policy, people, enabling mechanisms and programs, projects, and activities. The information on the student leaders' challenges in mainstreaming gender was obtained through an interview with another set of student leaders. The study found that along with the four entry points, there are gender mainstreaming efforts exerted by the student organizations. The officers also encountered some challenges. Therefore, the researchers conclude that the university, through the Office of Student Affairs and Services, has already started mainstreaming gender in student services. Also, male and female student leaders have access to leadership positions in student organizations based on their sex-disaggregated data. However, not all are fully aware that gender should be mainstreamed in the four entry points. The researchers would like to recommend that the Office of Student Affairs and Services should be strict enough to monitor gender mainstreaming in student organizations.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are a global health concern, with lower respiratory infections (LRIs) causing millions of deaths annually. The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, led to unprecedented public health measures, including lockdowns and vaccination campaigns, which have influenced the landscape of respiratory infections. This study aims to investigate the impact of COVID-19, its mitigation strategies and vaccination status on the prevalence and distribution of bacterial pathogens causing RTIs in a Bangladeshi hospital. Methods: Respiratory samples were collected from 100 patients with RTI symptoms in a teaching hospital in Bangladesh from December 2022 to May 2023. Bacterial cultures were performed, and antibiotic susceptibility testing was conducted. Patient data, including age, gender, comorbidities, and vaccination status, were analyzed statistically. Results: Among the participants, 96% exhibited bacterial growth in respiratory samples. Klebsiella pneumoniae was the most prevalent pathogen (63.2%), followed by Streptococcus spp. (12.2%) and Staphylococcus aureus (10.2%). The prevalence of these pathogens varied by age groups, with Klebsiella pneumoniae being prominent in the 50-69 age range. COVID-19 vaccination status significantly influenced the distribution of bacterial species, with fully vaccinated individuals having higher rates of certain infections, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae and Streptococcus spp. Comorbidities were also associated with variations in bacterial infections. Discussion: This study reveals a high prevalence of bacterial pathogens in post-COVID-19 RTIs, with Klebsiella pneumoniae being the predominant species. The findings suggest that COVID-19 vaccination status plays a crucial role in shaping the spectrum of bacterial infections, with fully vaccinated individuals showing a higher prevalence of specific pathogens. Comorbidities also influence the type and frequency of bacterial infections. These results align with previous studies and underscore the need for continued monitoring and research in the ever-evolving landscape of infectious diseases. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant changes to the patterns of respiratory infections. Understanding the impact of COVID-19 and vaccination status on respiratory pathogens is vital for healthcare providers and policymakers. This study emphasizes the importance of ongoing research and vigilance in addressing the evolving challenges of infectious diseases in the post-COVID-19 era. It highlights the interconnectedness of vaccination, immunity, and susceptibility to bacterial infections, providing critical insights for public health strategies.

Alternative election news coverage?
Authors: Johansson Bengt , Strömbäck Jesper
Published: July 2024

In contemporary media environments, mainstream news media have become increasingly challenged by political alternative media. Even though research on how political alternative media cover politics and society has increased, there is still limited research comparing how political alternative media and mainstream news media cover key political events, such as election campaigns. To fill this gap, the purpose of this study is to compare election news coverage in political alternative and mainstream news media, drawing theoretically on theories related to mediatization and structural bias on the one hand, and politicization and political bias on the other. Empirically, the overarching research question is how election coverage in left- and right-wing political alternative and mainstream media differs. Findings suggest that political alternative media do function as an alternative to mainstream news media in that they offer more politicized coverage of election campaigns. However, left-wing, and right-wing political alternative media also constitute alternatives to each other in how the election campaigns are covered.
Det lange sigt. Et spørgsmål om bæredygtighed
Authors: Greve Morten , Laustsen Carsten Bagge
Published: July 2024

I Brundtland-kommisionens klassiske formulering defineres bæredygtighed som en udvikling, der opfylder nutidens behov uden at bringe fremtidige generationers muligheder for at opfylde deres behov i fare. Væsentligt i definitionen er betoningen af det lange sigt – at man også må have øje for kommende generationers mulige livssituation. Formuleringen er fra 1987, og betoningen af bæredygtighed er kun senere med den eskalerende klimakrise blevet mere central. Også politisk. Vi indleder med i artiklens første del at diskutere bæredygtighedsbegrebet metateoretiske fundament – nemlig betydningen af vores forestilling om naturen og vores tidshorisonter. Denne diskussion kobles til forestillingen om samfundsform og helt generelt spørgsmålet om vores modernitet. Herefter vil vi i artiklens anden del bevæge os i retning af et operationelt bæredygtighedsbegreb. Artiklens bidrag er i den sammenhæng at operationalisere bæredygtighedsbegrebet i fem dimensioner: For det første og helt overordnet betones tid-rum-udstrækningen, hvor den rumlige potentielt er global, og den tidslige potentielt uendelig. Herefter følger fire centrale aspekter for indholdsbestemmelsen af begrebet: selvopretholdese, systemisk holisme, forsigtighed og resiliens.

Published: July 2024

The purpose of this study was to explore career development narratives of esport players. Three Swedish professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive players were interviewed about their careers. Two of the participants had retired and one was still active. Their competition level ranged from top 10 nationally to top-20 internationally. The interview transcripts were analyzed using a holistic-form structural analysis, which resulted in three overarching narratives (i.e. performance, relational and sink or swim complemented by multiple narrative threads (e.g., discovery, relational). Due to the multi-faceted nature of esports, it might be common for esport players to tell dialogical stories. The study highlighted challenges esport players face (e.g., balancing esports, work and social/academic life), which are exacerbated by the unstable structure of esports and a lack of cultural narrative templates helping esport players to make meaning of their careers. Social and professional support facilitating narrative flexibility and dual careers might help esport players cope with challenges and become successful in esports and upon retirement.

Authors: Sherstneva Alena Vyacheslavovna
Published: July 2024

In the modern period, the Russian and Belarusian states have observed the development of social relations related to the implementation of the constitutional principle of a social state, as well as the consolidation of processes aimed at interaction and searching for a balance of interests and responsibilities in the social and economic spheres. The relevance of the topic is determined by the discussion on issues related to the definition of the concept and essence of a social state, the constitutional content of such principles and requirements of a social state as social justice, social equality, a decent standard of living, free development, mutual social responsibility, assessment of the influence of the practice of the constitutional courts of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus for the development and implementation of the principle of a social state in the countries under consideration. It is concluded that the concept of a social state acts as a multidimensional characteristic of the state, reflecting, firstly, the conceptual focus of state policy on ensuring social protection of citizens based on the principles of social equality, social justice, ensuring a decent life, free development, as well as other principles and requirements, reflecting the social orientation of public authority, and, secondly, a model of relations between the state and the individual, functioning on the basis of mutual social and legal responsibility. The principle of a social state is a complex basic constitutional principle – a legal narrative that contains specific principles and requirements for the social nature of the state system and predetermines the system of social human rights and their guarantees, as well as the social responsibility of subjects of public legal relations.

Objective. The aim of our study was to research the engagement and personal contribution to volunteering of pharmaceutical professionals and students in conditions of Russian-Ukrainian war. Methods. An anonymous online questionnaire-based survey was conducted among Ukrainian pharmaceutical professionals and students (n = 517; approximate response rate - 40%). The analyzed period was February-April 2023. Statistical analysis was performed using a spreadsheet Microsoft Excel. Results. The results of the questionnaire survey have shown that almost two thirds of respondents (63.45%) were engaged in volunteer activities. The most relevant sources of information about volunteering were pages, channels and groups of volunteer organizations in social networks (22.21% of responses), information from friends, colleagues, relatives, etc., related to volunteering (21.86%), various announcements in social networks (20.83%). Leaders among social networks were Telegram (28.32%), Instagram (28.05%) and Facebook (23.58%). The main motives for volunteering were the desire to help the army (43.57%) and internally displaced persons (25.73%), and the main forms of participation in volunteer activities were the collection of funds, clothes, household items, food and medicines (24.31%), transfer of funds for the needs of the army (17.36%) and for volunteer activities (17.26%). Conclusion. The role of volunteering in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war among pharmacists and pharmaceutical students was studied and understood. Keywords: pharmacists, pharmacy students, volunteering, war, questionnaire survey.

The emergence of symbolic thinking has been proposed as a dominant cognitive criterion to distinguish humans from other primates during hominization. Although the proper definition of a symbol has been the subject of much debate, one of its simplest features is bidirectional attachment: the content is accessible from the symbol, and vice versa. Behavioural observations scattered over the past four decades suggest that this criterion might not be met in non-human primates, as they fail to generalise an association learned in one temporal order (A to B) to the reverse order (B to A). Here, we designed an implicit fMRI test to investigate the neural mechanisms of arbitrary audio-visual and visual-visual pairing in monkeys and humans and probe their spontaneous reversibility. After learning a unidirectional association, humans showed surprise signals when this learned association was violated. Crucially, this effect occurred spontaneously in both learned and reversed directions, within an extended network of high-level brain areas, including, but also going beyond, the language network. In monkeys, by contrast, violations of association effects occurred solely in the learned direction and were largely confined to sensory areas. We propose that a human-specific brain network may have evolved the capacity for reversible symbolic reference.
Feedback inhibition by a descending GABAergic neuron regulates timing of escape behavior in Drosophila larvae

Escape behaviors help animals avoid harm from predators and other threats in the environment. Successful escape relies on integrating information from multiple stimulus modalities (of external or internal origin) to compute trajectories toward safe locations, choose between actions that satisfy competing motivations, and execute other strategies that ensure survival. To this end, escape behaviors must be adaptive. When a
Drosophila melanogaster
larva encounters a noxious stimulus, such as the focal pressure a parasitic wasp applies to the larval cuticle via its ovipositor, it initiates a characteristic escape response. The escape sequence consists of an initial abrupt bending, a corkscrew-like rolling, and finally rapid crawling. Previous work has shown that the detection of noxious stimuli primarily relies on class IV multi dendritic arborization neurons (Class IV neurons) located beneath the body wall, and more recent studies have identified several important components in the nociceptive neural circuitry involved in rolling. However, the neural mechanisms that underlie the rolling-escape sequence remain unclear. Here we present both functional and anatomical evidence suggesting that bilateral descending neurons within the subesophageal zone of
D. melanogaster
larva play a crucial role in regulating the termination of rolling and subsequent transition to escape crawling. We demonstrate that these descending neurons (designated SeIN128) are inhibitory and receive inputs from a second-order interneuron upstream (Basin-2) and an ascending neuron downstream of Basin-2 (A00c). Together with optogenetic experiments showing that co-activation of SeIN128 neurons and Basin-2 influence the temporal dynamics of rolling, our findings collectively suggest that the ensemble of SeIN128, Basin-2, and A00c neurons forms a GABAergic feedback loop onto Basin-2, which inhibits rolling and thereby facilitates the shift to escape crawling.
