Published: January 2025

Military leaders strive to achieve their organization's vision and mission in accordance with their duties, authorities, and responsibilities. The challenging climate in military units due to misconduct, lack of discipline, and ineffective leadership has highlighted the need for more effective leadership development activities. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to measure the influence of training motivation in the relationship between leadership development programs and training transfer. A total of 412 completed questionnaires filled out by respondents serving in the Malaysian Army Infantry Corps were analyzed using the SmartPLS 3.3.9 software package. The findings of the factor validation analysis show that the measurement scale of this study has reached the standard level of validity and reliability analysis. Further, the results of hypothesis testing using the SmartPLS path model highlight two important findings: first, the relationship between course content and training motivation has a positive and significant relationship with training transfer. Second, the relationship between training methods and training motivation has a positive and significant relationship with training transfer. Based on a statistical perspective, the findings of this study confirm that training motivation acts as an intervening variable between the leadership development program and the transfer of training in the study organization. Therefore, discussion, research implications and conclusions are also given attention in this study.
MALAYSIA-SINGAPORE MARITIME DELIMITATION: A COMPLEX PATH OF RESOLUTION?
Authors: Yusof Salma , Md Saman Mazura , Taib Khairul Nizam
Published: January 2025

The Malaysia-Singapore delimitation issue has continued to be an intricate and significant bilateral concern since the 2008 decision by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Batu Puteh. The 2008 judgment was perceived as removing at least one of the obstacles for Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia to establish clear boundaries for their maritime territories in the Singapore Strait. Yet, the ruling also creates “grey area” in which maritime delimitation on overlapping territorial waters between Malaysia and Singapore need to be resolved. The delimitation becomes more complex with the awarding of Middle Rocks to Malaysia. Indonesia’s potential involvement in future negotiation adds an additional level of complexity. This is a qualitative study, employing content analysis and literature study methodology. The study aims to analyse and examine Malaysia’s outstanding maritime delimitation issue with Singapore. It is submitted that the Malaysia-Singapore maritime delimitation is a complex issue with historical, legal and geographical dimensions. While efforts have been made to address and manage the issue, achieving a comprehensive resolution remains a challenging task. Both parties seem to continue navigating the complexities of their maritime delimitation issue with a blend of legal frameworks, diplomatic negotiations and mutual cooperation. It is imperative for both parties to expedite the negotiating process and achieve a definitive agreement on the delimitation boundary in the vicinity of Batu Puteh.

Authors: Ahmad Norainie , Anshari Muhammad , Hamdan Mahani , Ali Emil
Published: January 2025

As AI systems become ubiquitous, policymakers and regulators must establish effective governance frameworks that fortify ethical values. Such a model should be value-driven, principle-based, and maintain ethical integrity and public trust. Challenges include generative AI’s potential to exacerbate disinformation and other risks. This paper addresses integrating values into AI governance to foster ethical integrity and support innovation. Bibliometric analysis and case studies identify key value tensions and tradeoffs in AI regulation. We propose a governance framework that harmonizes values like transparency, accountability, and inclusivity with AI development. Collaborative governance and unlikely stakeholder coalitions can foster an innovation ecosystem prioritizing ethical practices. The findings guide policy and industry actors navigating AI regulation to align development with social and ethical values.

Authors: Raczky Pál , Horváth Ferenc , Mesterházy Gábor , Füzesi András , Furholt Kata , Bánffy Eszter , Podgorelec Melani , Rassmann Knut
Published: January 2025

It often happens that the fresh investigation of well-known sites using newly developed techniques and their reassessment brings the recognition that some of the assertions believed to be timelessly true turn out to have been strongly mistaken or were misinterpretations. This has been the case with many of the renowned Late Neolithic tell settlements dated to the earlier fifth millennium BC on the Alföld (Great Hungarian Plain). The collation of the information yielded by the excavation of these sites during the twentieth century with the data provided by non-invasive prospection and new archaeological investigations has paved the way for constructing entirely novel interpretations. A new perspective was forged from the multidisciplinary integration of the data and their comprehensive interpretation. The assessment based on the collation of all available data and evidence provides a firm springboard for interpretations set in a broader perspective and for gaining fresh insights into the period’s history and the one-time social dynamics and changes. This study aims to offer a joint assessment of long-known and more recent, fresh information on the Gorzsa tell settlement in the Tisza Valley in southeastern Hungary.
Archaeological Research of the Ottoman Palace in Szolnok
Authors: Kertész Róbert , Szőke Balázs
Published: January 2025

The Ottomans occupied Szolnok, a town by the Tisza River in the Great Hungarian Plain, in 1552, little more than a decade after conquering Buda. In the following period, it has become a major sanjak (sancak) seat in the northernmost Buda vilayet of the Ottoman Empire. Its administrative position changed in 1596, following the occupation of Eger, when it became part of the Eger pasalik and remained there until the Hungarian armies recaptured it in 1685. Little is known about the architecture of this period due to the lack of written sources and archaeological research. In his notes on his trip to Szolnok in 1665, Evliya Çelebi only mentions a single building, the royal mosque in the castle, which suggests that there were no other remarkable buildings within the palisade fort at the time. Therefore, the discovery of a two-storey Ottoman monumental building representing a type unknown in the occupied territories before came as a surprise in 2018. This paper presents the identified architectural details, paving the way for future architectural and historical reconstructions.

Published: January 2025

Lack of gender parity in access to agricultural resources and services adversely influences women’s productivity and subsequently the food security status of their households. The study analysed the effects of women empowerment on food insecurity status of Nigerian households using secondary data from the 2018/2019 General Household Survey (GHS). Information from 448 households with consistent information were used to construct the Abbreviated Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (A-WEAI) and Household Hunger Scale (HHS) Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, probit regression and IV-ordered probit regression models. Results showed that 93.4% of the women were disempowered, while 47.4 percent of men were disempowered. The overall Gender Parity Index was 0.606 with about 17.1 percent of the women having high gender parity, while more than half did not have gender parity with the primary male in their households. However, less than a quarter of the women were empowered in the five domains, about half (49.4%), 57.1%, 45.6% and 44.5% of households that experienced no hunger, mild hunger, moderate hunger and severe hunger, respectively, had disempowered women. About 50.6% had no hunger, 42.9% had mild hunger, 54.4% had moderate hunger and 55.5% had severe hunger among the empowered women’s households. Increasing women empowerment in agriculture reduced the incidence of severe food insecurity by 4.0%. Being a female-headed household, age and high literacy level of household, head significantly reduced the probability of severe food insecurity among the households.
Strengthening the Capacity of Islamic Boarding School Administrators in Understanding the Core Substance of Law No. 18 of 2019 on Islamic Boarding Schools at Pondok Pesantren Nurussalam Walisongo Gomang

Published: January 2025

This study aims to strengthen the capacity of the management of Islamic Boarding Schools (Pondok Pesantren) in understanding the core substance of Law No. 18 of 2019 concerning Islamic Boarding Schools, specifically at Pondok Pesantren Nurussalam Walisongo Gomang. This law is crucial for advancing and protecting the existence of Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia. Therefore, a thorough understanding of this law is essential for the management of boarding schools to run their organization effectively and support the quality of education provided.
This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study method. The study was conducted at Pondok Pesantren Nurussalam Walisongo Gomang, located in District X, Y Regency. The research sample includes the management of the boarding school, such as the head of the boarding school and several other administrators who are directly involved in the management and operations of the pesantren. Data collection techniques used include in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentary studies related to the implementation of Law No. 18 of 2019 at the boarding school.
The results of the study show that the management of Pondok Pesantren Nurussalam Walisongo Gomang has a relatively good understanding of the core substance of Law No. 18 of 2019. However, there are still areas that need improvement, particularly in the technical aspects of implementing the regulation, such as funding and human resource management in the pesantren. Intensive and routine training related to this law is needed to address these shortcomings. Additionally, establishing discussion forums and consultations with competent authorities could also strengthen the understanding of the pesantren management.
Strengthening the capacity of the management in this regard is not limited to theoretical understanding but also practical application in the daily activities of the pesantren. By fully understanding the regulation, the management can be more effective in carrying out their duties, improving the quality of education, and strengthening the pesantren’s position in the national education system.
Overall, this study contributes to the development of the capacity of the management of Islamic boarding schools, specifically in understanding and implementing Law No. 18 of 2019. In the future, it is expected that there will be synergy between the government, pesantren, and the community to enhance the role of pesantren in producing morally upright and high-quality generations.
Admission of Non-Traditional Students in the 21st Century Universities: A Tradition of Transformations
Authors: Lwanga Jordan Byekwaso , Ngaka Willy , Openjuru George Ladaah
Published: January 2025

This article analyzes the transformations in the organization and governance of admissions for older adults (non-traditional students – NTSs) in higher education at one of the public universities in Uganda. Adulthood demands acquiring new coping strategies and skills to adapt to the requirements of new and emerging roles. This demand goes beyond depending on introductory training and informal experiences based on cultural wisdom. A growing belief underscores HE as a critical tool in responding to these demands. To champion this belief, many universities are contextually defining and implementing admission decisions to select deserving adults to enrol for university education. We collected qualitative data from university managers (some of whom doubled as academics), mature age coaches, and graduate and continuing non-traditional students. The purpose of this article was to analyze how institutional decisions on the admission of non-traditional students have evolved and their implications on the future development of the HE sector. This article illustrates and concludes by raising awareness among current and future sector managers and scholars who might be new to NTSs on how institutional decisions leading to their enrolment emerged and their implications for future practice
Impact of Infant Massage on Weight Gain: A Study in Banjar District, South Kalimantan
Authors: Adha Aprilea Noor , Sofia Norlaila , Rohmah Prihatanti Nur , Rusmilawaty Rusmilawaty
Published: January 2025

Background: Underweight in children under five is still a significant health problem in many parts of the world, especially in developing countries. One such intervention that has gained cultural significance is infant massage, a traditional practice that promotes relaxation, improves digestion, and enhances weight gain. This study seeks to evaluate the impact of infant massage on weight gain in infants under 24 months within Banjar Regency, a region where undernutrition presents a significant public health issue. While infant massage is traditionally practiced and believed to benefit infant health, its effectiveness remains debatable.
Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a control group involving 51 mother-infant pairs was employed. Participants were divided into an intervention group (n=17) that received infant massage training and performed it over three months and a control group (n=34) that received no such intervention. This research uses an observation form instrument. Infant weight gain was the primary outcome measure, with data analyzed using independent sample t-tests to assess differences between the two groups.
Results: No statistically significant difference was found in weight gain between the intervention and control groups (t = -0.415, p = 0.680). However, descriptive data revealed that 88.2% of infants in the intervention group experienced weight gain compared to 85.3% in the control group, indicating a potential trend toward positive effects of infant massage.
Conclusion: Despite the lack of statistical significance, the observed trend suggests potential benefits of infant massage. Further research with larger sample sizes and longer durations is recommended.
Explorando la inclusión educativa en docentes de la escuela San José de Bernardino, Panamá: Análisis Factorial
Authors: De Sedas Abraham , Trujillo-González Julio , Muñoz Nelly , Arcia Pedro
Published: January 2025

El estudio se centra en evaluar las competencias y actitudes de docentes de aulas regulares en relación con la inclusión de estudiantes con Necesidades Educativas Especiales (NEE). Para abordar este tema, se aplicaron cuestionarios a los docentes que exploran diversas dimensiones como las actitudes, el conocimiento y las prácticas inclusivas. Se emplearon análisis estadísticos para evaluar las respuestas y entender las correlaciones entre diferentes variables. Un 62% de los docentes muestra una actitud positiva hacia la inclusión de estudiantes con NEE. Este dato sugiere que la mayoría de los docentes están dispuestos a adoptar prácticas inclusivas en sus aulas. Sin embargo, esta actitud positiva se ve socavada por la falta de conocimiento especializado. En el cuestionario, los docentes a menudo admitieron tener poco o ningún conocimiento acerca de las diferentes discapacidades y desafíos de aprendizaje que estos estudiantes podrían enfrentar. Esta brecha en el conocimiento especializado resulta preocupante, especialmente porque estos docentes son quienes están a cargo de implementar prácticas inclusivas en sus aulas. Adicionalmente, los resultados sugieren que, aunque los docentes están haciendo esfuerzos para implementar prácticas inclusivas, la falta de formación y conocimiento en este ámbito limita seriamente la efectividad de estas prácticas. La falta de preparación no solo afecta la calidad de la educación que reciben los estudiantes con NEE, sino que también podría tener un impacto en la dinámica general del aula y el rendimiento de otros estudiantes.
Diagnóstico de la educación superior universitaria en el Centro Regional Universitario de Colón: un enfoque de género

Published: January 2025

En la Agenda 2030 el Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible 5 (ODS 5) aspira: lograr la igualdad como un derecho humano fundamental y uno de los fundamentos esenciales para construir un mundo pacífico, próspero y sostenible. En 2015, Panamá adoptó los ODS. Al 2016, presentó su I Reporte con líneas estratégicas para avanzar en la Agenda 2030. En 2017 el Gobierno presentó un Plan Estratégico Nacional priorizando acciones para alcanzar los ODS y en 2020 presentó el II Informe. Se utilizaron los Planes Estratégicos de Gobierno para la implementación y seguimiento de los ODS. El Índice de los ODS (2020), ubicó al país en la posición 81 de 166 países, mejorando 9 posiciones en relación con el año anterior. En instituciones de educación superior universitarias públicas de Panamá, hay variedad de mecanismos para alinearse con la Agenda 2030 (implementación, seguimiento y medición). ONU propuso indicadores mundiales para orientar el monitoreo y medición, entre éstos el ODS5. Los efectos de la COVID-19 podrían haber revertido los escasos logros que se habrían alcanzado en materia de igualdad de género.  ONU-Mujeres hizo una propuesta para mitigar el impacto y para la recuperación a largo plazo; una de ellas: garantizar que los datos y mecanismos de coordinación incluyan la perspectiva de género. ¿Qué mecanismos estaría utilizando la Universidad de Panamá para alinearse con la agenda ODS 2030 y para la implementación, seguimiento y medición de éstos? ¿Cuáles son las principales desigualdades de género presentes en el contexto universitario del CRU de Colón? Es necesario desdoblar los indicadores del ODS5 en encuestas periódicas y/o otros instrumentos de recolección de datos (cuantitativos y cualitativos) para medir el avance y/o en la educación superior universitaria. La norma provee acceso a las oportunidades, no da evidencias de ser discriminatoria. No obstante, los resultados parecen indicar que no existe igualdad sustantiva. Parece haber un esfuerzo individual para que las mujeres logren sus metas y no un cambio en el papel de la mujer en la sociedad y, en el acceso, permanencia, egreso de la carrera docente - administrativa y en la dirección y gestión universitaria.

Si bien sabemos que la tecnología avanza a pasos agigantados y cada día es mucho más fácil el acceso a la misma y los beneficios son innumerables, sin embargo, existe desventajas un enemigo silencioso que se hace presente desde edades tempranas hasta adultos, la asociación entre el rendimiento académico y los videojuegos en línea no parecen ser variables directamente proporcionales por el contrario son inversamente proporcionales. El objetivo de esta revisión fue analizar los efectos de la adicción a los videojuegos sobre el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes, así como las señales que un estudiante adicto a los videojuegos presenta, Para esto se utilizó el método de revisión de artículos originales en inglés y español publicados en las bases de datos de MEDLINE/Pub-Med, SCOPUS, DIALNET así como en el meta buscador Google Scholar, utilizando palabras clave “rendimiento académico”, “Academic performance”, “Addiction”, etc. Los artículos revisados tienen muestras de estudiantes de primaria, secundaria y universitarios publicados entre 2015 y 2044. Un total de 25 artículos fueron analizados los videojuegos tienen una influencia negativa en los estudiantes no solo afectando en su rendimiento académico si no también en otras instancias, sin embargo, de los artículos analizados existen dos que mencionan lo contrario que los videojuegos tienen un impacto positivo sobre los procesos educativos, mencionando que su rendimiento académico a corto plazo podría mejorar si se implementa desde tempranas edades como una herramienta de enseñanza. Finalmente, la utilización de rendimiento académico como variable para decir si los videojuegos son una amenaza para los estudiantes parece muy acertada, teniendo la mayoría de los artículos consultados al respecto, que mencionan que el rendimiento académico disminuye notablemente cuando existe adicción a los videojuegos.

La Gestión de Talento Humano (GTH) en cooperativas en México, se ha comenzado a explorar en los últimos años, dado lo significante que es en el desarrollo en la Economía Social y Solidaria (ESS), buscando un desarrollo justo y sostenible. El presente artículo tiene por objetivo analizar estrategias inclusivas en la GTH en cooperativas en la ESS, considerando que las cooperativas favorecen a la creación de empleos en comunidades locales y su papel en mejorar de condiciones laborales. El marco metodológico ha adoptado una metodología documental y bibliográfica, profundizando en el análisis de fuentes relevantes y antecedentes del tema. Tiene un enfoque de investigación cualitativa para comprender las dinámicas y perspectivas de la ESS, así como la GTH en el contexto de las cooperativas solidarias. Además, se optó por un tipo de investigación exploratoria y descriptiva, que busca identificar y describir fenómenos específicos, y por un enfoque explicativo y observacional que permite establecer relaciones entre las variables de las estrategias de GTH y la efectividad de las estrategias inclusivas, para comprender mejor las causas y efectos de los comportamientos observados. Este conjunto metodológico también incluye el análisis de estrategias inclusivas que fomentan la participación y el desarrollo equitativo.

The objective of this study is to perform a detailed comparison of the stress, strength and deformation properties between high and low carbon steels to determine their mechanical behavior in different applications. The research is qualitative, descriptive, focusing on the theoretical analysis of the mechanical properties of steel, which is based on the compilation of information from different authors. The differences in the microstructure and mechanical properties of the two steels were analyzed.  A comparison of the mechanical properties of low carbon steel and high carbon steel provides valuable information for application in various industrial processes, allowing the selection of the most suitable type of steel according to specific strength and deformation requirements. The research found that the carbon content significantly affects the microstructure of the steel and, consequently, the mechanical properties. Compared with high carbon steel, low carbon steel has lower strength and deformation. High carbon steel has greater strength, but is also more prone to warping under certain loads.

This research focused on analyzing how the consumption of animal proteins affects the growth of preschool children at the Cleotilde Guerrero Foundation. The relationship between the intake of these foods and development in terms of weight and height was evaluated, as well as the adequacy of the diet with respect to nutritional recommendations for this stage of growth. The study adopted a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, involving 120 children between 3 and 6 years old, randomly selected. For data collection, surveys of parents or caregivers, records of the children's daily diet, and anthropometric measurements were used. The results showed that the average consumption of animal proteins was 15 grams per day, representing around 70% of the recommended amount for children aged 4 to 8 years. The main source of protein was the consumption of dairy products, which represented 40% of the total intake. The research concludes that an adequate intake of animal protein is essential for the growth of preschool children. It is recommended to increase the consumption of animal proteins, particularly dairy products, to support bone development and overall growth. It is crucial to ensure a balanced diet that includes sufficient protein and other essential nutrients for healthy development. This study highlights the importance of adequate nutritional planning to optimize the well-being and comprehensive development of children.
