Non-formal schooling was affected during the Covid-19 pandemic. The goal of this study was to look at how digital technology may be used in the Non-Formal Education Program. We looked at how digital technology is transforming traditional labor structures and transitioning them to online models using a literature study. According to the data, digital technology has an influence on home learning (LFH).

Both the non-formal and formal education models have benefits, such as instructors' digital competency in building online course programs, knowledge of parents' digital modes, and the potential of students' networks to study with digital devices. The right technique for all schooling must be devised. However, it has various flaws, including low motivation and poor skill development if not used in conjunction with the appropriate approach. As a result, for the online learning process to be successful, especially in non-formal education, the correct method must be developed.

To analyze the data, a content analysis was implemented. The findings revealed that the children met the difficulties because they tend to have short concentration span and the limitation of learning device and signal stability. Moreover, less parents’ control causes young learners disoriented while using the applications. Surprisingly, the students did not face hindrance in relation to the applications use. Most of them adapted quite easily in using the applications. This implies that children nowadays are very adaptive towards technology and are easier to learn through diverse platforms in online learning. Limitations and future recommendations are also presented.

This study aims to explain the importance of education to examine and analyze dividend policy as a variable on the effect of expropriation, several large shareholders, and firm value. The type of research used is quantitative explanatory using secondary data, namely 2015 to 2020 annual reports taken from the official website of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), Indonesian Capital Market Exchange (ICMD), and the website www.investing.com. The sampling method in this study was purposive sampling so that a sample of 3,328 data was obtained. The data analysis method used in this study uses the unbalanced data panel and path analysis method with the Eviews software program. The study's results prove that dividend policy does not mediate between expropriation and firm value but instead becomes a variable that mediates several large shareholders with firm value. This means related party transactions as proxies cannot be used as a benchmark in assessing a company.

However, the result is still only on the ability to listen in simple texts, so that listening skills need to be improved again to understand more complex information. Factors that affect listening difficulties are internal factors, that is mental readiness in understanding the information being listened to, and external factors such as inadequate places and poor internet networks.
Economic coercion as a means of hybrid warfare: The South Caucasus as a focal point
Authors: Iskandarov Khayal , Gawliczek Piotr
Published: September 2022

The rapidly changing security environment has brought a plethora of non-military measures to the fore. These measures have completely changed the nature of hostilities by giving them a hybrid character. With regard to the South Caucasus region, the chasm among the political courses pursued by particular states makes the overall region more susceptible to diverse external threats of a political, economic, military and cultural nature. This paper focuses on the economic component of the hybrid warfare in the South Caucasus region. The issues are considered from a security point of view and not from an economic perspective. The vulnerabilities of particular nations in the region to economic coercion are highlighted in the paper and suggestions for improving them made. The authors underscore the regional unity in the South Caucasus as a prerequisite for eliminating or at least mitigating economic dependence and healing the “regional fracture” that has lasted for decades.

Authors: Balog Fatime , Babos Tibor
Published: September 2022

Mankind has been facing constant threats and challenges from natural and civilisational disasters for centuries. The fundamental responsibility of states is to protect the lives, health, and property of their citizens. However, protection against natural and civilisational disasters is a complex task in which the population also has to take part, and the availability of geoinformation is a prerequisite for effective protection. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the combined power of both citizens and technology in the task of alerting and informing the public of the opportunities offered by virtual crowdsourcing, Web 2.0, the role of geoinformation, crisis maps, and drones through the application of a qualitative method, by analysing case studies and by searching for internal connections between different phenomena. Citizens around the world can collaborate and contribute to the sharing and collection of geoinformation to create real-time, interactive maps. These so-called crisis maps support intervention organisations in obtaining information, and they can also be used as sources of information. The use of Web 2.0, crisis maps and drones, as well as the emergence of digital humanitarian volunteering, have fundamentally changed the role of the public when it comes to responding to disasters, including alerting them using geoinformation.
