Authors: М.А. Григорчук
Published: May 2023

В исследовании анализируются и соотносятся такие принципы международного права, как самоопределения народов и территориальной целостности государства. Отмечается их актуальность в свете современных территориальных проблем как источника возникновения конфликтов. В результате резюмируется, что в доктрине международного права имеет место проблема преодоления коллизий принципов самоопределения народов и территориальной целостности государств, а также влияние основополагающих принципов международногоправа на институт признания новых государств. Констатируется, несмотря на общее равноправие, приоритет принципа территориальной целостности государств, а право народов на самоопределение не должно вести к нарушению прав и свобод других народов и осуществляться за счет ущемления и игнорирования их прав и интересов.

Mierniki niefinansowe w pomiarze dokonań jednostek samorządu terytorialnego w Polsce
Authors: Kowalczyk Magdalena
Published: May 2023

Jednostki samorządu terytorialnego realizują coraz większy zakres zadań i w związku z tym wzrasta nacisk na pokazanie efektów ich działalności. Powoduje to konieczność rozbudowania dotychczasowego pomiaru dokonań (bazującego głównie na miernikach finansowych) o mierniki niefinansowe. Obecne stosowane metody pomiaru dokonań przez jednostki samorządu terytorialnego wymagają wsparcia, ponieważ nie wszystko można zmierzyć, wykorzystując mierniki finansowe. W monografii zawarto koncepcję pomiaru dokonań w jednostkach samorządu terytorialnego przygotowaną właśnie w oparciu o mierniki niefinansowe. Pierwszy rozdział przedstawia ewolucję zarządzania finansami w samorządzie terytorialnym. Pojęcie efektywności i racjonalności w jednostkach samorządu terytorialnego zawarto w rozdziale drugim, gdzie omówiono wpływ pomiaru dokonań na efektywność i racjonalność funkcjonowania jednostek samorządu terytorialnego. Przedstawiono również uwarunkowania pomiaru dokonań i kierunki zwiększania sprawności działania jednostek samorządu terytorialnego. W trzecim rozdziale zaprezentowano podejście do pomiaru dokonań w jednostkach samorządu terytorialnego w ujęciu finansowym i niefinansowym. Czwarty referuje doświadczenia zagranicznych jednostek samorządu terytorialnego (Amsterdam, Dublin), które wykorzystały mierniki niefinansowe do oceny pomiaru dokonań. Omówiono w nim przykłady implementacji przez jednostki samorządu terytorialnego: zrównoważonej karty wyników, raportowania zrównoważonego rozwoju czy wykorzystania kluczowych wskaźników efektywności do raportowania efektów ich funkcjonowania. Piąty rozdział pracy ma charakter empiryczny, przynosi ocenę wyników przeprowadzonych badań sondażowych w jednostkach samorządu terytorialnego. Natomiast ostatni rozdział przedstawia autorską koncepcję pomiaru dokonań w jednostkach samorządu terytorialnego opracowaną w oparciu o mierniki niefinansowe.

Authors: Secches Kogut Clarice , Fonseca Luíza
Published: May 2023

Objective: This teaching case focuses on a multinational insurance firm from a developed country that decides to implement a global human resources program for diversity and inclusion (D&I) across all its branches, after realizing that some of them were already developing successful local initiatives on their own. This case is designed for graduate or undergraduate students in International Business or Human Resources disciplines, in Management and Business Administration courses. Method: This is an armchair case, based on both primary and secondary sources of information. Fictional company and character were created to illustrate the case, based on empirical evidence about many multinational insurance companies operating in Brazil. Relevance / Originality: This teaching case seeks to engage students in a discussion about how important it is to implement a D&I agenda in today’s companies, and how multinational enterprises (MNEs) should manage the duality of establishing a global program in such a sensitive matter, in which local diversity is so crucial. The case provide instructors with is a dynamic and active-learning way of teaching traditional global strategy concepts. The contemporaneity and importance of the D&I thematic allows for interesting discussions of traditional concepts. Theoretical contributions: Students are put in the protagonist’s shoes, thereby training their decision-making skills. Through dealing with issues of diversity and inclusion, students are expected to learn concepts of global strategy related to global integration (GI) versus local responsiveness (LR) strategies; subsidiaries and headquarters’ roles and contexts and traditional and reverse transfer of practices/knowledge.
Turkish speech-language therapists' perceptions and experiences of augmentative and alternative communication
Authors: YAŞA İbrahim Can , TOKALAK Selin
Published: May 2023

Objectives: In this study, it is aimed to reveal what extent speech and language therapists (SLT) working in Turkey used augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems in their working area. For this purpose, it was investigated how they perceive AAC in terms of its scope and role; ACC applications within the scope of interventions for communication, language and speech disorders; best practice insights on AAC; what factors are seen as facilitating or limiting the implementation of AAC within the scope of intervention and suggestions for providing the best practice for AAC.
Methods: Phenomenology, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. The subject of the study is the opinions of SLTs working in Turkey on their clinical practices and thoughts on the use of AAC. The study group consists of 15 SLTs from Turkey and determined by using maximum diversity sampling method. The semi-structured interview forms were used in which SLTs’ views, suggestions and expectations about AAC applications in the service delivery as a data collection tool. The obstacles and difficulties in these applications were discussed. Content analysis was used and also carried out using the qualitative data analysis program MAXQDA 2018. In order to ensure the consistency of the data analysis, the data were analyzed by another field expert and the 92% consensus was tried to be reached by using the consistency formula.
Results: Participant opinions consist of benefiting status from AAC, opinions on the importance of AAC, preferred case groups and reasons for AAC implementation, opinions on current best practice understanding on communication and language intervention/use of AAC, opinions on current working conditions on AAC practices, opinions on the limitations of the use of AAC in communication and language intervention and recommendations for ensuring effective use of AAC themes.
Conclusions: The results of the study show that supporting individuals who can benefit from AAC in the context of intervention services for communication disorders requires great effort. In addition, SLTs stated that they strongly believed in AAC and its potential value for individuals with communication disorders, but did not have sufficient self-confidence about their current or developing skills in this area. It is also seen that clinicians need training and support from employers, professional or government agencies that set policies and standards to achieve their AAC related goals.

Maisons tropicales en bois
Authors: Sallenave P.
Published: May 2023

Une étude des maisons indigènes de la péninsule indochinoise montre que dans toutes les régions d'Extrême-Orient au climat tropical ou équatorial, les constructions traditionnelles sont en bois.
Il s'agit souvent de grandes maisons, riches ou même luxueuses, comme les maisons des riches Vietnamiens, les maisons javanaises, les palais et les temples, qui se sont révélés être des constructions très durables. Malgré le grand nombre de parasites présents dans ces pays, et notamment les termites qui sont très actifs, les maisons sont rarement attaquées par les insectes, construites selon les règles suivantes : les constructions en bois ; sont isolées du sol, et les planchers sont constamment soumis à une inspection et à un entretien minutieux.
C'est pourquoi, en s'appuyant sur l'expérience tirée des différents types de maisons indigènes au Vietnam, en Thaïlande, au pays Kmer, en Malaisie, etc..., des règles précises concernant les constructions en bois dans les pays tropicaux peuvent être énoncées. Elles permettront de construire des maisons bien protégées contre l'attaque des termites, à l'abri de la lumière et de la chaleur excessives, bien ventilées, confortables et durables.

Fear of falls is associated with fear of COVID-19 in older adults
Authors: Batagliotti Thaís M. , Moraes Renato
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND: Individuals with a perception of their fragile health can potentiate the fear of COVID-19.
AIM: We investigated the relationship between perceived functional capacity and fear of falls with fear of COVID-19 in older adults.
METHOD: Thirty older adults (60-75 years) participated in this study. We applied two questionnaires to assess functional capacity: the Independence in Activities of Daily Living and the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale. We also administered two questionnaires for fear of falling: the Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale and Falls Efficacy Scale International. Finally, we used the Fear of COVID-19 Scale.
RESULTS: The results showed a significant correlation between fear of COVID-19 and the ABC Scale (r = -0.548, p = 0.002) and FES-I (r = 0.466; p = 0.009). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the ABS Scale was the only predictor of fear of COVID-19 (p = 0.004).
CONCLUSION: Fear of COVID-19 was related to a worsening perception of functional balance and fear of falls in older adults, suggesting a greater vulnerability for those more afraid of falls.

Identity Construction of English Language Education Department Students
Authors: Mutiara Rika
Published: May 2023

Language, identity, and community are interrelated elements. One’s identity was developed by his language use. The languages he uses depend on the community he belongs to. Constructing an identity is a lifetime process that is influenced by several factors. The present study deals with the identities of English Department students. It explores students’ identities construction. It began with an investigation of how they view their identities by analyzing family backgrounds and neighborhoods. Furthermore, it investigated how studying in the English Language Education Department contributes to identity construction as they become members of a new community. The present study applied a narrative inquiry by analyzing students’ self-reflections and conducting interviews. The students were exposed to local languages and Indonesian when they grew up. They studied English in primary school. Some of them use the local languages to talk to their families. The others only understand them but they are not able to speak the languages.  The influence of environment and neighborhood makes them identify themselves as Jakartan even though their parents came from some regions in Java and Sumatera. They, moreover, do not accept all local values of their current environment. Cultural origins of the parents also play a role in students’ identity construction. The status of English Department students encourages them to use English with classmates. In addition, they use English to broaden their social relationship such as making friends with foreigners and getting exposed to the international community. It gives a contribution to their identity construction.

This research aimed to discover students’ choice of actions of self-regulated learning in doing Extensive Reading (ER) activities. It also attempted to describe students’ experiences from their perspective on their self-regulated learning capability. Three students in English Education Department aged early 20s who had finished their ER course were interviewed, and their narratives were taken as the data of the research. Their stories were garnered to provide insights on how they regulated themselves in the ER activities and how they perceiveed their the experiences. The findings of this study showed that students with different levels of self-regulated learning capability chose different actions in response to the ER activities. Overlaps and development of action choices could occur among students despite their unique and different self-regulated learning capabilities. The last phase of self-regulated learning also had crucial effects on the students’ self-regulated learning capability.
From a Pre-Service to an In-Service Tertiary EFL Teacher: An Autobiographical Narrative Inquiry
Authors: Atmojo Arief Eko Priyo
Published: May 2023

This autobiographical narrative inquiry study sheds some light on my career trajectory from a pre-service EFL teacher to an in-service tertiary EFL teacher. The data were garnered from written reflections on my lived experiences during initial teacher education program and seven years after graduation from initial teacher education program (2011-2021). Thematic coding was employed to analyze the data. The findings signified my career dynamics as a novice EFL teacher. It was challenging to find a permanent job as a teacher or lecturer. It was important for teachers to continuously develop themselves professionally through taking further formal education and training. The initial teacher education program enabled me to shape my character, personality, and identity as a teacher through formal classes and extra-curricular activities; and developed my professionalism through community, organization, competition, workshop, seminar, scientific work, and others. It was true that decisional capital played an essential role in teaching profession. It also indicated that struggle, patience, and endurance were important to endure in this teaching profession. This study signifies that an early career teacher must have other sources of income apart from their teaching profession, while waiting for a better and permanent teaching job. Future studies on the career trajectory of novice EFL teachers are still encouraged, particularly beyond the Indonesian context. Various research methods and designs may be applied to further study this issue.

Authors: Timothy Timi , Da Silva Anna Marietta
Published: May 2023

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic which occurred in 2020, many schools shifted their traditional classroom teaching to online EFL (English as a foreign language) teaching. Various video conferencing platforms were used to mediate synchronous meetings, including Google Meet. Though research focusing on examining aspects related to various video conferencing platforms has been quite frequent, investigation on teachers’ experience in and perception of online EFL teaching in the primary level using Google Meet has been rather scarce. Therefore, the present study intended to examine EFL teachers’ experience in and perception of EFL teaching using Google Meet. The study made use of focused group discussion which involved the participation of three EFL teachers from a private school in Jakarta. Results revealed that teachers had both positive and negative experiences, such as being able to present learning materials with ease and not being able to monitor students fully. Their perceptions towards using Google Meet for EFL teaching was influenced by these experiences and therefore, were concluded to be mixed since participants perceive the platform to be a source of convenience in various aspects, such as presenting learning materials, while still having limitations such as not enabling teachers to monitor students’ learning progress fully.

Due to the emergence of ICT in ELT sector, seasoned English teachers find it resistant to such a shift despite having a positive attitude towards its use. This quasi-experimental study aimed to examine the extent to which seasoned English language teachers developed their ICT skills through a Service-Learning Activity (SLA). Using a one-group pre- and post-test design, this study collected the data through a modified Needs Assessment Survey (NAS) distributed to fourteen purposively selected participants. It was administered to examine what professional ICT development would greatly benefit them. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and themes according to the Service-Learning Activity (SLA) topics. A Post Evaluation Survey (PES) was administered, and its result was compared to the initial test. The results showed that the seasoned teachers gained significant learning gains in terms of (1) sharing of knowledge from other teachers; (2) being encouraged to use ICT tools; (3) training opportunities; (4) working with other colleagues; and 5) attending professional workshops which include SLA. However, this study unveiled that the English teachers had no significant difference in perceptions regarding the roles of computers in teaching before and after the intervention. Limitations and recommendations for future studies were discussed

Many studies have examined the role of the Quizizz website as a medium of English language instruction, especially for assessment, and found it to have positively impacted learners’ learning enthusiasm and engagement. However, few studies have examined the linguistic and visual aspects of Quizizz from a multimodal perspective. To fill this void, this study aimed to explore the engagement aspects and representational functions underlying certain parts of the Quizizz website from the multimodal lens. Using the content analysis approach, the data were taken from relevant documents and analyzed using the Systemic Functional Multimedia Discourse Analysis (SFMDA) framework (O'Halloran, 2008) with a focus on the representational meaning of visual and engagement taxonomy for each textual data. The findings showed that the Quizizz website entailed multimodal engagement taxonomy (disclaim, proclaim, entertainment, and attributes) and representational function (transactional, non-transactional, and covert). Specifically, the most dominant types were proclaiming and entertainment, encouraging students and entertaining them while undertaking quizzes. Nonetheless, the data in visual analysis displayed more covert taxonomy, which can reduce the students' thinking concepts that better reflect equal diversity in the form of multimodal.

Purpose – This research aims to uncover the weaknesses of traditional hotel revenue management metrics (RM) and evaluate the potential application of two new metrics, specifically net revenue per available room and revenue per available customer. Design/Methodology/Approach – Initially, a focus group roundtable discussion was conducted with 15 participants who held managerial positions in various hotel chains. The objective was to identify critical hotel revenue metrics to be included in the subsequent online questionnaire. An online questionnaire was then distributed to HSMAI members in Asia, the Americas and Europe, as well as through personal contacts. In addition to quantitative analyzes, the data were also content analyzed to reveal the weaknesses of the existing RM performance assessment tools based on the technology-organization-environment framework. Findings – Considering the positive results, the application of the new metrics would be well accepted by RM. However, the weaknesses of the traditional RM metrics in terms of data quality and robustness, completeness of measurements, comparability with industry, and organizational support should be considered when designing the new RM metrics. Originality of the research – This study is the first to offer insights into the potential of designing new RM measures. It also provides guidance on what to consider when developing new RM metrics.

The common challenge for machine learning and data mining tasks is the curse of High Dimensionality. Feature selection reduces the dimensionality by selecting the relevant and optimal features from the huge dataset. In this research work, a clustering and genetic algorithm based feature selection (CLUST-GA-FS) is proposed that has three stages namely irrelevant feature removal, redundant feature removal, and optimal feature generation. The performance of the feature selection algorithms are analyzed using the parameters like classification accuracy, precision, recall and error rate. Recently, an increasing attention is given to the stability of feature selection algorithms which is an indicator that requires that similar subsets of features are selected every time the algorithm is executed on the same dataset. This work analyzes the stability of the algorithm on four publicly available dataset using stability measurements Average normal hamming distance(ANHD), Dices coefficient, Tanimoto distance, Jaccards index and Kuncheva index.

The sun is the star at the center of the solar system and is the primary energy source for life on earth. Greenhouse gases in an atmosphere like Carbon dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), Nitrous oxide (N2O), Water vapour (H2O), and Ozone (O3) help to maintain balanced temperature on earth through a phenomenon called as greenhouse effect. This ensures survival of life on the planet earth. Without greenhouse effect the average temperature of the earth would be very cold at -18�C, water would not exist in liquid form, and as a result the earth would have been incapable to support life. Human use of fossil fuels is the main source of excess greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which now far exceed pre-industrial levels over the past 650,000 years. Due to this there is an increase in the global temperature leading to climate change. The term climate change can be comprehensively understood as �a statistically significant variations in the earth s average weather, including changes in temperature, wind patterns and rainfall, especially the increase in the temperature of its atmosphere that is caused by the increase of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone etc. in the atmosphere due to the anthropogenic activities such as generation of energy from fossil fuels (for electricity, industry, transportation etc.), deforestation, agriculture, land use change etc.� Climate change has become the most predominant issue of the 21st century as it has deeper global impacts on the earth threatening the very existence of life on it. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the frontline greenhouse gas that contributes a large i.e., around 60% to climate change. The main human source of carbon dioxide is the use of fossil fuels (coal, petroleum and natural gas) in different human sectors. The present paper attempts to profile the carbon dioxide in the context of climate change.
