Authors: A. Bayucca Shallimar
Published: December 2021

The shift from face-to face to distance learning brought about by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic is a major adjustment to all school administrators, teachers, students and parents. The study aimed to determine the challenges encountered and needed support of parents and learners in an elementary school of the Schools Division of Meycauayan City as basis for crafting a contextualized support program. It employed a mixed method design using survey-questionnaire and interview guide as data gathering tools to 123 parents and 10 learners respectively. Frequency and percentage were used to describe the demographic profile, frequency counts and ranking were used on the challenges encountered and support/technical assistance needed by parents while thematic analysis was used to describe the experiences of the learners. The study found out that difficulty in independent learning, difficulty in concentrating on studies and parent’s limited knowledge on the content of child’s lessons are the top struggles of parents in the modular distance learning while almost all learner-respondents describe their experiences of distance learning as difficult because of difficulty in learning by themselves, lack of reference materials for more examples, limited guidance from parents and teachers, challenges in load to research and difficulty in understanding English. Moreover, both respondents are unanimous in declaring that provision of additional reference materials will greatly help lessen the struggles they encountered. Therefore, it is recommended that the support program crafted should be implemented and monitored to fully reinforce the continuity of learning amidst the challenges encountered in the first quarter.

Experimental Tracks and Their Role in Testing of Rolling Stock and Railway Infrastructure
Authors: Massel Andrzej
Published: December 2021

To speed up the deployment of innovative solutions in rail transport, while ensuring their required quality, dedicated testing grounds are used in some European and non-European countries. Such testing grounds include, in particular, experimental tracks and a special group of them are experimental loops districts. One advantage of such advanced infrastructure is the availability of conditions comparable to those on railway lines but with no impact on the performance of transport tasks, the availability of the same conditions for comparative tests and the continuity of tests, which considerably shortens their duration and accelerates the results. The article describes the parameters of the experimental tracks in use, and compares and classifies them in the context of the feasibility of different types of testing. Keywords: experimental track, experimental loop, tests, rolling stock, infrastructure

Published: December 2021

Indicators are being used in many agricultural sustainability assessment methods, but disputes about a common indicator for the definition of sustainability have resulted in so many various indicators and methods of measurement. The objective of this review is to provide a bibliometric analysis of sustainability pillars and indicators that has been widely applied. In addition, this paper evaluates the impact of pillars and indicators on scientific research through the analysis of their citation and trend. Using Scopus database, a total of 30 articles have been selected. The search revealed more than 500 indicators, and the top 3 indicators of each pillar which were considered in 7 articles or more are (soil erosion, crop diversity and pesticides) for environmental pillar, (education and training) for social pillar are and (Profitability, productivity and farm income) for economic pillar. Results showed that the environmental pillar is the most tackled in terms of the number of articles (n=22) and the most cited with a mean citation of about 60. The pesticide is the oldest indicator in terms of its average year of publication in 2011, the most cited indicator of more than 250 in 2005 and has the highest mean citation of about 42. The least cited indicators are farm income and training with less than 10 mean citation.

Beekeeping promotes the traditional home-garden conservation in Ethiopia
Authors: Kumsa Tolera , Bareke Tura , Addi Admasu , Roba Kasim
Published: December 2021

In Ethiopia, agrobiodiversity is managed through indigenous knowledge of rural communities, where the selection of plant species varies depending on the sociocultural practices and local economic needs. Traditional beekeeping has been practiced by millions of households in rural Ethiopia over a long historical period. However, the contribution of beekeeping in maintaining agrobiodiversity has not been systematically assessed in the country. This study was conducted in Central and Western Ethiopia to assess and compare traditional conservation practices, as well as the diversity and abundance of vegetation found within home-garden maintained by beekeepers and non-beekeepers. The results of the study showed that beekeepers raditionally retain more remnants of trees and shrubs in their home-garden to favor sustainable beekeeping, compared to non-beekeepers who instead are more likely to expand crop production. The mean number of floral species in beekeeper and non-beekeeper home-gardens was 22.8 ±3.2 and 14.2 ± 2.1, respectively. The higher species richness of bee visited plants in beekeepers’ home-gardens may be associated with traditional ecological knowledge accumulated by beekeepers over the years to maximize harvests of bee products. We therefore recommend the integration of ekeeping to other conservation interventions, such as community forestry, watersheds and protected areas as sustainable conservation practices. We suggest that necessary financial, technological, and extensional support should be enhanced to align improved v to any conservation efforts.

ANALYSIS OF THE SAFETY AND HEALTH STATUS AT THE WORK OF WORKERS OF THE FOREST INDUSTRY OF UKRAINE AND MEASURES FOR ITS IMPROVEMENT
Authors: Radionov M. , Gora R.
Published: December 2021

Development of scientifically sound measures for the prevention of occupational injuries based on the analysis of data on occupational injuries, including fatal in the forestry sector of Ukraine, to identify the main causes of such injuries. Based on the analysis, it was established that the level of occupational injuries in the forest industry was in one of the first places among all sectors of the economy of Ukraine. A step-by-step decision-making process was used to develop an algorithm for making managerial decisions. It was found that the accidents occurred mainly due to violations of safety requirements by employees, lack of control by officials of forest enterprises over the organization of safe work and due to violations of the technological process. The study was based on actual statistics of the State Labor Service on occupational injuries in the forestry sector. It is stated that the situation around the enterprises of the forest industry cannot be radically corrected without the introduction of an effective labor protection management system with elements of assessment and management of industrial risks. The obtained theoretical conclusions, based on statistical data on occupational injuries, have been brought to the level of specific proposals suitable for practical use in the planning of preventive measures for labor protection in the field of forestry. The necessity of actualization and improvement of normative-legal acts in the field of forestry is substantiated. The adoption of the "Minimum requirements for the safety and health of workers in forestry and greenery" is justified, which will expand the scope, namely: legal relations will be regulated by the type of work, and not just apply to economic entities who carry out certain activities; it is proposed to introduce a "labor safety coordinator".
Cross-Border Transfers of Personal Data After Schrems II: Supplementary Measures and new Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)
Authors: Corrales Compagnucci Marcelo , Aboy Mateo , Minssen Timo
Published: December 2021

This article analyses the legal challenges of international data transfers resulting from the recent Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) decision in Case C-311/18 Data Protection Commissioner v Facebook Ireland Limited, Maximillian Schrems (Schrems II). This judgement invalidated the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework but upheld the use of standard contractual clauses (SCCs). However, one caveat is that organisations would have to perform a case-by-case assessment on the application of the SCCs and implement ‘supplementary measures’ to compensate for the lack of data protection in the third country, where necessary. Regrettably, the CJEU missed the opportunity to specify what exactly these ‘supplementary measures’ could be. To fill this gap, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) adopted guidelines on the measures that supplement transfer tools to ensure compliance with the EU level of protection of personal data. In addition, on June 4th, 2021 the European Commission issued new SCCs which replaced the previous SCCs that were adopted under the previous Data Protection Directive 95/46. These new developments have raised the bar for data protection in international data transfers. In this article, we analyse the current regulatory framework for cross-border transfers of EU personal data and examine the practical considerations of the emerging post-Schrems II legal landscape.

Published: December 2021

Kajian ini berfokuskan analisis lakuan pertuturan Searle (1969) dalam video infografik COVID-19 oleh Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM). Secara umumnya, kajian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis lakuan pertuturan yang digunakan oleh KKM dalam video infografik. Lakuan pertuturan yang telah dikenal pasti dianalisis berdasarkan Teori Lakuan Pertuturan Searle (1969). Teori ini mengetengahkan lima lakuan, iaitu asertif, ekspresif, direktif, komisif dan deklaratif. Kaedah kajian yang digunakan oleh pengkaji ialah kaedah kualitatif. Dalam kajian ini pengkaji menggunakan analisis kandungan teks sebagai kaedah kajian. Hasil kajian mendapati terdapat sebanyak 129 lakuan pertuturan yang merangkumi kelima-lima lakuan pertuturan Searle (1969). Daripada jumlah lakuan pertuturan tersebut, lakuan pertuturan direktif merupakan lakuan yang paling dominan dan paling kerap digunakan, iaitu sebanyak 67 kekerapan, diikuti oleh lakuan pertuturan asertif sebanyak 51 kekerapan. Seterusnya, lakuan ketiga yang kerap digunakan ialah lakuan pertuturan ekspresif, iaitu sebanyak 6 kekerapan. Lakuan pertuturan komisif dan deklaratif merupakan lakuan yang paling kurang digunakan dalam video infografik COVID-19, iaitu sebanyak 4 dan 1 kekerapan. Dapatan ini menunjukkan lakuan direktif paling dominan kerana matlamat video infografik adalah untuk menyampaikan maklumat berdasarkan arahan daripada Perdana Menteri dan KKM. Penggunaan Teori Lakuan Pertuturan Searle (1969) amat bersesuaian bagi memperlihatkan hubungan komunikasi antara penutur dengan pendengar untuk memahami dengan lebih jelas makna hajat komunikatif penutur. Oleh yang demikian, keberkesanan maklumat yang disampaikan dapat memberikan impak yang positif kepada negara dan masyarakat.

Dengan anggapan kebanyakan khalayak berasa tidak penting mempelajari kesusasteraan Melayu kerana tidak ada nilai dalam kehidupan, akibatnya kesusasteraan Melayu dipinggirkan. Namun pada hakikatnya, banyak ilmu yang dapat diperoleh apabila mempelajari kesusasteraan Melayu. Antaranya ilmu perubatan, perundangan, adat istiadat, kebudayaan, kesenian dan tidak kurang pentingnya ilmu pengurusan. Dalam artikel ini, penulis akan membuktikan bahawa dalam kesusasteraan Melayu terdapatnya elemen pengurusan. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kualitatif dalam penganalisisan karya sastera tersebut. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam kajian ini ialah pendekatan pengurusan. Artikel ini menjelaskan pendekatan pengurusan secara komprehensif, iaitu merangkumi definisi dan prinsip pendekatan pengurusan, iaitu perancangan, pengorganisasian, kepimpinan, penstafan serta kawalan. Penganalisisan karya sastera dengan pendekatan pengurusan dilakukan diaplikasikan terhadap dua buah cerita binatang, iaitu "Gergasi Berperang dengan Gajah" dan Hikayat Pelanduk Jenaka (Syeikh Alam Berlawan dengan Raksasa). Selanjutnya, perbandingan dibuat terhadap kecekapan dan kelemahan kedua-dua organisasi dalam pengurusan untuk kedua-dua cerita binatang ini. Didapati organisasi dalam cerita "Gergasi Berperang dengan Gajah" lebih tersusun dan teratur jika dibandingkan dengan organisasi dalam cerita Hikayat Pelanduk Jenaka (Syeikh Alam Berlawan dengan Raksasa). Kajian dengan pendekatan pengurusan dalam penganalisisan karya sastera bukan sahaja menjadikan kesusasteraan Melayu lebih menarik, bahkan dapat mendidik dan menyedarkan khalayak peri pentingnya pengurusan dalam kehidupan manusia agar tersusun dan efisien.

Published: December 2021

Karya sastera oleh pengarang lelaki atau pengarang wanita yang cenderung kepada gaya pengarang lelaki, sering menggambarkan wanita dengan imej wanita yang stereotaip seperti pengalaman wanita dipinggirkan, suara wanita dibisukan, dan bentuk-bentuk paparan yang menyerlahkan male-centredness. Corak penulisan sebegini ialah gambaran penindasan terhadap wanita yang berterusan, sekali gus mencerminkan ciri-ciri stereotaip wanita dalam sastera. Tulisan ini membincangkan novel Hikayat Perempuan dari Malaysia dan Isinga Roman Papua dari Indonesia. Objektif kajian adalah untuk mengenal pasti ciri-ciri stereotaip wanita digambarkan dalam teks kajian, dan menilai sejauh mana ciri-ciri stereotaip mendominasi imej wanita yang dipaparkan. Penilaian tersebut dilakukan dengan menggunakan Teori Kritik Feminis oleh Elaine Showalter. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan sejumlah ciri stereotaip dicitrakan oleh pengarang, sementara selebihnya imej wanita telah keluar daripada stereotaip tersebut. Penemuan ini membuktikan bukan semua pengarang wanita yang terikut-ikut dengan cara mengarang lelaki memaparkan imej wanita yang stereotaip. Sebaliknya terdapat percubaan pengarang wanita untuk meruntuhkan sebahagian ciri-ciri stereotaip wanita tersebut.
Sabah Feminist Novelists: Views of Their Own
Authors: Chee Cheang Sim , Omar Fatin Najla
Published: December 2021

This paper scrutinizes five award-winning novels by five Sabah female writers and the issues of sexual discrimination, lack of opportunities, patriarchal hegemony and the negative perceptions of the body that plague Sabah Malay women. A discursive analysis of these issues is anchored upon a gynocritic feminist approach first introduced by Elaine Showalter in her famous essay entitled "Toward a Feminist Poetics" (Newton, 1997). The purpose of this study is to uncover the concept of the feminine "self" in the Sabah context through a thirty-year interrogation represented by these five female authors' novels and narrative styles, which include an exploration of their themes, language styles and poetics through the five novels entitled Malisiah by Obasiah Hj Usman (1986), Dari dalam Cermin by Azmah Nordin (1992), Gadis Adikara by Ruhaini Matdarin (2007), Pagi di Hujung Senja by Kathirina Susanna Tati (2013) and Helaian Linangkit by Dayangku Mastura Pg.

Meningiomas arising from the falcotentorial junction are rare, and the selection of the optimal surgical approach is essential. We report a 41-year-old man presented with progressive left paresis in the lower limbs. An MRI showed a solid mass inside the third ventricle in contact with the falcotentorial dural junction. The tumor was removed by the transtentorial/transfalcine occipital approach, performed with the patient in the three-quarter prone position. The tumor was devascularized from the tentorium, then debulked and finally dissected. The affected falx and tentorium were resected, but all of patent dural venous sinuses were preserved. The tumor was a subtotal resect. Choosing the surgical approach is essential for the safe and effective removal of an FTM and preoperative imaging analysis should identify the tumor’s anatomical relations and guide toward the least disruptive route that preserves the neurovascular structures. This article aims to report a successfully treated FTM.

É causada pela bactéria Leptospira, transmitida pelo contato com água, solo ou tecido animal contaminado. As manifestações clínicas variam a depender da fase precoce ou tardia, abrangendo desde sintomas inespecíficos, como febre, cefaleia, mialgia e vômitos, até disfunções orgânicas graves, como a Síndrome de Weil (icterícia, lesão renal e hemorragias). Este trabalho descreve uma mulher de 51 anos com quadro de febre, icterícia, dor em membros inferiores e sangramento vaginal de moderada intensidade. Recebeu diagnóstico de síndrome de Weil com sangramento vaginal pela história clínica, laboratorial e sorologia positiva para leptospirose. Foi iniciado antibioticoterapia, evoluindo com melhora e consequente alta hospitalar. Por ser uma doença subnotificada, faz-se necessário identificar os sintomas e possíveis manifestações atípicas, a fim de facilitar o diagnóstico precoce, além de desenvolver estratégias preventivas na tentativa de minimizar custos e diminuir complicações.

Policy implementation requires the act of translating the goals and objectives of policy into actions. Policy implementation is a difficult process because how policy actors and implementers act on the policy on a large scale may decide whether it succeeds or fails. There is a growing recognition that policies do not succeed or fail on their own, but instead due to a lack of leadership qualities in policy implementation. The study aims to develop and validate the instrument for measuring the public leadership construct of school leaders in Malaysia. The instrument was adapted from the previous study and modified to suit the current study. The study also added ten new items to complement the original instrument of public leadership initiated by Tummers and Knies (2016). The target population is school leaders in the national-type primary schools in Malaysia. A simple random sampling method was utilized to select a random sample of 381 participants from the sampling frame of eligible school leaders in the country. Content validity and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted on the instrument before the confirmatory factor analysis. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) procedure confirmed the existence of four sub-constructs of the public leadership construct that are accountability leadership, rule-following/lawfulness leadership, political loyal leadership, and network governance leadership. The CFA process has deleted four items due to poor factor loading (less than 0.6). The fitness indexes for all fit categories have achieved the required level of a model fit. Meanwhile, the Average Variance Extracted (AVE) and Composite Reliability (CR), which reflect the convergent validity and construct reliability, respectively, have also achieved the required level of a model fit. Hence, the revised instrument for measuring the public leadership construct of school leaders in Malaysia is valid and reliable for use to determine the policy implementation performance of the public primary school leaders in Malaysia.

The study investigated the challenges faced by the Palestinian Authority Institutions (PNA) in their practice of Human Resource Management. It adopted a qualitative approach based on a review of relevant literature to find out the major challenges handicapping the efforts to improve HRM in the West Bank in Palestine. The study reflected that with a specific focus on Palestine, the daily practice of HRM is a real challenge especially under the Israeli occupation and the different strategies Israel employs to destroy any improvement plans. The study showed that in the era of global technology, the Palestinian National Authority and its organisations in the West Bank are facing both internal and external challenges, namely the low organisational position of the management of human resources and its confinement to basic functions. In addition, the Procedural aspects, lack of planning and developmental aspects, and limitation of their practice in routine matters related to employment, calculation of salaries and dues, as well as follow-up and permits which constitute a significant challenge. Moreover, the external challenges include the Israeli occupation, which has a major role in these challenges as the occupation prevents public employees of different positions and deputies from reaching their workplaces by dividing the cities of Palestine, military checkpoints, and frequent arrests of ministers and legislators.

The approach to building university image deals with student trust, student satisfaction, and student loyalty. However, few studies are available on university image context and its role on student loyalty. University image is considered a vital component of the educational sectors' success in recent years. With the current increase in public and private universities across Malaysia, the academic industry has become increasingly competitive. The circumstance necessitates Universities to focus their energies on creating a positive corporate image by increasing student loyalty. Trust and satisfaction play an essential role in order to achieve and maintain student loyalty. The research also reviewed the relationship between student trust and student satisfaction to establish their relationship with student loyalty.

Published: December 2021

The word "corporate entrepreneurship" refers to entrepreneurial activity within the organization. Corporate entrepreneurship is valuable to the degree that it is used as a tactic to engage in a continuous process of entrepreneurial actions to obtain a strategic edge. In today's competitive economy, a lack of entrepreneurial behavior can be a blueprint for failure. With that in mind, this research, through an examination of the literature and quantitative empirical analysis, focused on the relationships between corporate's internal elements and the context of corporate entrepreneurship in the accounting profession. Furthermore, the study also determines the most crucial corporate's internal element that impacting corporate entrepreneurship in the accounting profession. All criteria were met to ensure that the research was conducted according to ethical research principles. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire selected from Corporate Entrepreneurship Assessment Instrument (CEAI) 48 Likert-style, where 553 respondents from the accounting profession participate in the survey. The study found that positive and significant relationships exist between all corporate's internal elements: organization structure, rewards and recognition policies, time and resources available, management support, and organizational culture. This study provides guidance and insight to the accounting profession into fostering entrepreneurial success and the impact of the five corporate's internal elements in achieving sustainability and a competitive edge. It is recommended that further research be undertaken to examine the interaction between external factors which have a certain degree of effect. More precisely, the models should examine the relationship between internal and external factors which have the most significant influence in the sense of corporate entrepreneurship.
The Twelfth-Fourteenth-Century Finger-Rings and Signet-Rings from Eski-Kermen
Authors: Khairedinova Elzara А.
Published: December 2021

This paper introduces into the scholarship finger-rings and signet-rings discovered on the plateau of Eski-Kermen during the excavations in recent years. The twelfth- and thirteenth-century finger- and signet-rings uncovered in the churches in quarters I and II were modest bronze ornaments of featuring décor belonging to the group of Byzantine-circle artefacts. Adult women often wore a pair or a set of three pieces of the ornaments of the kind. The fourteenth-century hand ornaments comprise only signet-rings, partially attributable to the Byzantine circle and partially to the artefacts made by Seljuk artisans. Predominant were expensive ornaments of silver or gold. The difference between the assortment of ornaments from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and those from the fourteenth century can be explained not only by the change of fashion, but also by the different social status of those who lived in various districts of the provincial town. In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, only the ordinary townspeople lived in quarters I and II, where only the bronze ornaments originate from. In the fourteenth century, the members of wealthy families were buried into slabbed graves located in the area in front of the basilica in the town centre, where silver and gold signet-rings were found. In the fourteenth century, signet-rings made a part of women’s and children’s attire. Young women, 18–20 and 19–25 years old, wore one signet-ring at once, on the fourth finger of the right hand; older women, 30–35 years old, decorated their left hand with a set of two signet-rings made in the same style. Young girls wore only one signet-ring on the third finger of the left hand. There were no signet-rings specially made for children: they got reshaped adults’ ornaments.

This paper presents the results of the study of metal threads found in the fourteenth-century burials in slabbed graves located atop of the plateau of Eski-Kermen. The inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry determined the metal of the threads in question as high-grade silver. The results of scanning electron microscopy of the surface morphology of the artefacts allowed the one to suggest a variant of reconstruction of the sequence of technological operations in the manufacture of the metal threads in question. The feature of all the metal threads under study is very even outer and inner surface and stable thickness and width of the metal band. In all cases, gold inclusions were stretched in the mass of metal along the long edge of the bands. Cast metal was flattened into a thin band. Parallel scratches along the butt end of the threads suggest that rolled out metal was cut with a tool with a thin, sharp blade leaving scratches along the course of the blade. Semi-finished products were wound onto an organic core. The threads found in the slabbed graves atop of the plateau of Eski-Kermen were spun silver threads wound onto a silk core. Technologically, these threads correspond to the products of Mediterranean workshops. The location of the metal threads in the burial indicates that they were used in the embroidering of the collar and neck.
