Authors: Burdyka Konrad , Mańkowski Dobrosław
Published: May 2023

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zaprezentowanie propozycji modelu analitycznego klubów sportowych, którego fundament stanowi opis strategii przezwyciężania problemów i stabilizowania działalności organizacji. Za bazę do rozważań autorzy przyjmują własne przedsięwzięcia badawcze, w czasie których przyglądali się działaniom klubów doświadczających kryzysów o różnorakiej proweniencji w latach 1989–2014. Rozważania nie są ukierunkowane na umiejscowienie ww. podmiotów na skali efektywności i profesjonalizmu, odnoszących się bądź do czysto sportowych, bądź też ekonomicznych efektów ich funkcjonowania, lecz na opisie i roli działań aktorów społecznych w organizacjach sportowych, wyboru strategii lub jej braku. Wskazano również główne problemy, z którymi mierzą się kluby sportowe w kryzysach o różnorakim charakterze.
Preparing for esports competitions: gaming communities of practice
Authors: Jasny Michał
Published: May 2023

Communities of practice are groups of people united by a passion for something, who deepen their knowledge and experience in their field through ongoing interactions. This article focuses on the importance of institutionalized relationship networks and mutual recognition in preparation for esports competitions. The study represents inductive, qualitative analyses. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted with players (n = 12) that have significant achievements in Magic: The Gathering (MTG) competitions. In the social world of MTG enthusiasts, numerous groups reflect the functionality of a community of practice. These groups constitute a fundamental aspect of preparation for top-level MTG tournaments. Examples of the functioning of so-called testing groups among MTG enthusiasts allow the formulation of a new analytical category – the gaming community of practice. Contrary to stereotypes, the presented study supports the thesis about the significant role of video games in the formation of social competencies and the creation of specific communities, which is particularly important in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Authors: Miguel Alexandra , Miranda Sandra
Published: May 2023

The growing concerns about the effects of the climate crisis and the highest consumer expectations regarding the environmental performance of businesses led companies to adopt a greater sense of accountability for sustainability, and some of them even became advocators of environmental causes. Today, brands are increasingly using digital media to disseminate environmental brand activist campaigns, take a stand on ecological issues, and promote pro-environmental behaviors and conscious consumption practices, although not all brands succeed in this approach. This advanced review aims to address how brands are using online platforms, such as social networks and websites, to amplify their audiences' perceptions about environmental problems, inspire eco-friendly behaviors, and motivate conscious consumption. Thus, this article contributes to a better understanding of how digital media can be an opportunity, if well used, for brands to encourage positive environmental changes, giving current examples of environmental brand campaigns and discussing directions for future research in this field.

Published: May 2023

This study examined the effect of the Building Blocks mathematical education program on 4-year-old Turkish preschool children’s recognition level of geometrical shapes. A pretest-posttest control group experimental design was employed. The sample group was composed of randomly selected 39 preschool children (of whom 21 were in the experimental group, and 18 in the control group). A geometric shapes recognition test was used for data collection. Results indicated meaningful differences in the mean scores of the triangle and rectangle shapes in favor of the experimental group. When the children’s responses to the geometric shapes recognition test were examined in detail, it was observed that in the post-test the children in the experimental group, as compared to the ones in the control group, were more inclined to define geometrical shapes with their qualitative features rather than visual features.

Nonvolatile metabolites of T. asperellum TH showed maximum inhibition (44.5%) and minimum inhibition showed by Bacillus subtilis B (29.1%) while volatile metabolites of T. asperellum TH showed maximum inhibition (28.3%) and Bacillus subtilis B (11.5%) gave minimum inhibition as compared to other tested biocontrol agents against fruit rot pathogen. Based on results, it is concluded that biocontrol agents have great potential to manage the P. capsici in a better way.
Note d’Orientation sur l’Engagement Communautaire Concernant la Riposte Contre la Flambée Epidémique de Choléra dans la Région Afrique de l’Est et Australe
Authors: Hrynick Tabitha , Schmidt-Sane Megan
Published: May 2023

Les flambées épidémiques de choléra s’intensifient dans la région Afrique de l’Est et australe (ESAR) depuis janvier 2023, avec une transmission généralisée et étendue au Malawi et au Mozambique, ainsi que des flambées épidémiques signalées en Tanzanie, en Afrique du Sud, au Zimbabwe, au Burundi et en Zambie.1 Il existe un risque de propagation accrue causée par les effets du cyclone Freddy, qui a frappé Madagascar, le Malawi et le Mozambique en mars 2023. Les flambées épidémiques se poursuivent en Somalie, en Éthiopie, au Kenya et au Soudan du Sud, où les pays sont confrontés à la sécheresse suite à plusieurs saisons des pluies consécutives lors desquelles les précipitations n’ont pas été assez abondantes.1 Le contexte de riposte dans la région ESAR est complexe. Cela est dû aux ressources limitées en santé publique, y compris les pénuries de vaccins par voie orale contre le choléra, et aux nombreuses urgences sanitaires et humanitaires simultanées, y compris la réapparition du poliovirus sauvage. L’engagement communautaire dans les ripostes contre les flambées épidémiques de choléra est essentiel, en particulier lorsque l’impact de la COVID-19 continuent de se faire sentir dans la région, notamment en ce qui concerne la confiance dans la santé publique et les mesures liées à la vaccination.2,3 La présente note d’orientation a pour objectif d’aider les ministères de la Santé, l’UNICEF et d’autres partenaires de la riposte à concevoir et à mettre en œuvre un engagement communautaire efficace, axé sur la communauté et basé sur des données afin de répondre à la flambée épidémique de choléra. Cette note d’orientation a été rédigée en avril 2023 par Megan Schmidt-Sane et Tabitha Hrynick (IDS), avec la contribution de Stellar Murumba (Internews), Ngonidzashe Macdonald Nyambawaro (IFRC), Eva Niederberger (Anthrologica), Santiago Ripoll (IDS), Nadine Beckmann (LSHTM), Mariana Palavra (UNICEF), et Rachel James (UNICEF). Cette note d’orientation s’inspire de travaux antérieurs sur le choléra réalisés par la Plateforme Social Science in Humanitarian Action (SSHAP).

Authors: Nursyarah Vera , Drajati Nur Arifah , Ngadiso Ngadiso
Published: May 2023

Self-regulated learning skills are essential for students since self-regulated learners are more responsible for their own learning. Drawing on Zimmerman’s (2000) framework regarding self-regulation, this narrative study looked closely into self-regulatory behaviors of English student-teachers and the ways they regulated their Extensive Listening activities. The data were gathered from students’ learning journals and semi-structured interview. Two EFL student-teachers from an English department of an Indonesian University who were successfully managing their consistency in their Extensive Listening activities were selected as the participants. The findings showed that EFL student teachers used their self-regulatory behavior strategies in different cyclical phases (forethought, performance or volitional control, and self-reflection) in Extensive Listening activities. By experiencing and knowing what self-regulatory behavior strategies they use and how they are used, English student-teachers are expected to be able to transmit their knowledge of self-regulation in learning to their students in the future of ELT teaching.
Film-Based Resources in Asynchronous Online Learning
Authors: Furqon Miftahul
Published: May 2023

Juxtaposed with other teaching and learning media, film-based resources in English Language teaching are succinctly beneficial to support students to learn English skills. Films facilitate students to learn English integrally, not in an isolated way. Responding to today’s trend in which the teaching and learning process is converted from offline to an online system, it is crucial to ease students to be independent learners. This paper is aimed to justify how filmbased resources can support student’s learning independence in asynchronous online learning. Specifically, the writer focuses on reviewing this issue from the Stern’s framework of teachers’ beliefs in language teaching to analyze how films can be part of the important elements in designing language teaching materials, and how asynchronous instructional method becomes a suitable decision that teachers make regarding the process of online teaching and learning. In reference to the theoretical justification, it is concluded that film-based resources conceptually facilitate student’s learning independence in asynchronous online learning. Meanwhile, regarding today’s trend in which some language teachings are converted into online learning, the asynchronous instructional method is a suitable decision that teachers can make.

Bringing Intercultural Perspectives into General EFL Learning during Covid-19: Some Insights
Authors: Muhammad Jauhari Sofi
Published: May 2023

Studies on intercultural language learning have revolved around the descriptive report of cultural facts, adjustment to the target language's culture, and cross-cultural do's and don'ts. They have not yet exposed the issue in much detail, especially in an emergency situation. This study aims to investigate practical ideas on how to engage Indonesian Islamic higher education students with intercultural perspectives during the Covid-19 pandemic. It addresses what the teachers think about interculturality in the general EFL learning and how they accommodate intercultural perspectives during the virtual class. Using a narrative inquiry, the data were collected through semi-structured interviews and observations. The researcher employed thematic analysis and theoretical lenses on interculturality-based language learning. The study showed that interculturality in EFL learning was not only unavoidable but also indispensable. This learning suggested an equal position between teachers and students in terms of authority of knowledge and vocal participation. The teachers also accommodated the core principles of intercultural perspectives in general EFL learning through proactive construction, connection-making, social interaction, reflection, and commitment, even though they did not take place optimally during virtual learning. Here, the students engaged with one another to exchange information, link ideas, and make sense of meanings. The overall findings of this study imply the vital role of teachers in helping students recognize, appreciate, and respond to cultural variety during the virtual learning process.
Hölderlins Idee des kulturhistorischen Dialogs zwischen Orient und Okzident
Authors: ZENGİN Erkan
Published: May 2023

Friedrich Hölderlins Hauptwerk sind seine Hymnen, die er in den Jahren 1800-1807 verfasst hat. Vor allem sein Streben, durch die Dichtung und insbesondere durch die Lyrik in metaphysisches Neuland vor zu dringen, beeinflusste mit dem philosophischen Gehalt seiner Werke nicht nur den jungen Friedrich Nietzsche, sondern auch den Dichter Rainer Maria Rilke und den Philosophen Martin Heidegger. Diese Untersuchung widmet sich einem anderen Aspekt von Hölderlins Hymnen, der verstreut im Werk vorliegt, und zwar der Beziehung zwischen Orient und Okzident. Dabei werden die relevanten Verse aus den (teilweise fragmentarischen) Hymnen “Am Quell der Donau”, “Wanderung” und der Ister analysiert. Diese Studie ist ein Versuch, Hölderlins Vorstellung von einer idealen Beziehung zwischen diesen beiden Kulturkreisen anhand der genannten Gedichte zu rekonstruieren. Hölderlin ist der Überzeugung, dass die Menschheitsgeschichte auf einer Interaktion in Form von “Nehmen und Geben” beruht. Nachdem bisher entscheidende Impulse aus dem Osten kamen (Schrift, monotheistische Religion bzw. Christentum, Philosophie, die antiken Künste) ist es die Aufgabe des Abendlandes, mit Hilfe dieser Gaben aus dem Morgenland einen zeitgenössischen (um 1800) abendländischen Diskurs zu bilden, der als eine Gegengabe betrachtet werden kann.
Surgical management of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
Authors: Samantha M. Ruff
Published: May 2023

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICCA) is a rare tumor with a poor prognosis that arises from the intrahepatic biliary tract. Patients who present with locally advanced or metastatic ICCA are generally treated with first-line gemcitabine/cisplatin and/or liver-directed therapy with the hope of downstaging/downsizing the disease. Patients who present with resectable ICCA may be treated with upfront surgery and postoperative adjuvant capecitabine. Staging laparoscopy should be considered to evaluate for occult metastatic disease and laparoscopic ultrasound can be used to better evaluate the liver parenchyma. Resection with the goal of achieving an R0 margin, along with lymphadenectomy to adequately stage patients, should be the standard operative approach. Unfortunately, the surgical technique cannot overcome poor tumor biology, and ICCA has a high incidence of recurrence, with many patients developing metastatic disease. Targeted therapy with IDH and FGFR inhibitors has had promising results in early clinical trials. Future endeavors should strive to identify more effective systemic and targeted therapies, which will hopefully improve survival for patients with ICCA.

Why LMI? Questioning the role of labour market information in career guidance
Authors: Alexander Rosie
Published: May 2023

This article surfaces debate in the literature around the role of labour market information (LMI) in career education and guidance. Building on questions of whether LMI is peripheral or pivotal in career services (Bimrose, 2021) the paper aims to synthesise the argument in the existing literature around LMI. Utilising an approach informed by Bacchi’s What is the problem represented to be? (Bacchi & Goodwin, 2019), the paper asks how and why LMI has been positioned by some interests as central to career interventions, and the implications of this positioning. It also asks whether there are alternative ways of imagining the role of LMI and explores their implications for policy and practice.

INDEPENDENT OR CHAIN-AFFILIATED HOTEL? THE DILEMMA OF HOTEL EMPLOYEES
Authors: Ivanov Stanislav , SEYITOĞLU Faruk , YANEVA Victoria , IVANOVA Maya
Published: May 2023

Purpose – This study examines the relationships between hospitality work experience factors and employees’ preference to work in a chain or independent hotel. Methodology/Design/Approach – Quantitative data were collected from hotel employees in Bulgaria who worked in independent and chain hotels. A total of 150 valid responses were used to conduct factor and regression analyses. Findings – The results illustrate that chain hotels provide a better set of operational standards and guidelines, more and better training than independent ones. They also give more opportunities to their employees for career development, better job security and work experience, but competition among employees in chain hotels is higher than in independent properties, and their employees’ salaries are not always more competitive. The factor analysis showed the existence of five factors. Additionally, ‘Communication and decision-making’ and ‘Resources and planning’ were more important than ‘Remuneration and working conditions’ and ‘Training and development’ in shaping employees’ preferences. However, ‘Workload and stress’ was not an important driver of respondents’ choice. Finally, demographic variables had no role in shaping respondents’ preferences. Originality of the research – This paper is one of the first to examine the factors that influence hotel employees’ preferences for working in chains or independent hotels
Neutrophils as key regulators of tumor immunity that restrict immune checkpoint blockade in liver cancer
Authors: Feng Mei , Wang Fangyanni , Liu Xinyu , Hao Tingting , Zhang Ning , Deng Mi , Pan Yisheng , Kong Ruirui
Published: May 2023

Objective: Liver cancer is a deadly malignancy associated with high mortality and morbidity. Less than 20% of patients with advanced liver cancer respond to a single anti-PD-1 treatment. The high heterogeneity of neutrophils in the tumor immune microenvironment in liver cancer may contribute to resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). However, the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. Methods: We established an orthotopic liver cancer model by using transposable elements to integrate the oncogenes Myc and KrasG12D into the genome in liver cells from conditional Trp53 null/null mice (pTMK/Trp53−/−). Flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry were used to assess the changes in immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. An ex vivo coculture assay was performed to test the inhibitory effects of tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) on CD8+ T cells. The roles of neutrophils, T cells, and NK cells were validated through antibody-mediated depletion. The efficacy of the combination of neutrophil depletion and ICB was evaluated. Results: Orthotropic pTMK/Trp53−/− mouse liver tumors displayed a moderate response to anti-Ly6G treatment but not PD-1 blockade. Depletion of neutrophils increased the infiltration of CD8+ T cells and decreased the number of exhausted T cells in the tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, depletion of either CD8+ T or NK cells abrogated the antitumor efficacy of anti-Ly6G treatment. Moreover, the combination of anti-Ly6G with anti-PD-L1 enhanced the infiltration of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells and thereafter resulted in a significantly greater decrease in tumor burden. Conclusions: Our data suggest that TANs may contribute to the resistance of liver cancer to ICB, and combining TAN depletion with T cell immunotherapy synergistically increases antitumor efficacy.

Teachers and students need an adjustment period to adapt from distance learning to face-to-face learning. This condition raises problems in the teaching and learning process. The research used classroom action research as a research design for implementing the TGT cooperative learning method to increase the activeness of class X students in Biology learning. The learning activeness of Class X students in biology subject categorized as low. To improve it, the researcher utilized a fun method such as TGT. The research participants were sixteen class X MIPA SMA Islam 1 Surakarta students. Data collection techniques of the research used observation, questionnaires, and tests. Comparative descriptive statistics were used to examine the quantitative data, while critical analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data. The results of the data analysis presented that students' learning activeness increased to the high category (≥ 75%) with details of 75% visual activity, 76% verbal activity, 83% listening activity, 76% writing activity, 96% motoric activity, 89% mental activity, and 86% vigorous activity. These results arise due to the active role of students in the syntax of games and matches. Nature card media generate students' interest in learning, because contain picture-cued of surrounding natural phenomena in the student environment. The card's questions were scaled to the student's cognitive capacity level and impacted the student's self-awareness to care about the environment. It can be concluded that contextual learning of the environment change with the TGT model can increase student learning activity, especially in Biology lessons.

Nyeri punggung  bawah  (NPB) adalah  suatu keadaan  tidak  nyaman  atau  rasa  nyeri  yang  akut  pada  di  daerah  ruas lumbalis  kelima  dan  sakralis pertama (L5-S1). Kebijakan social distancing pada masa pandemi COVID-19 diberlakukan untuk menurunkan angka infeksi COVID-19, namun hal ini memunculkan masalah baru seperti nyeri musculoskeletal yang terjadi karena kurangnya aktivitas fisik individu. Pandemi COVID-19 juga secara signifikan mengurangi akses pasien untuk mendapatkan pengobatan di fasilitas kesehatan untuk mengatasi nyeri punggung yang dialami. Hal ini mendorong peneliti untuk mengembangkan media edukasi untuk tatalaksana mandiri untuk pasien dengan NPB. Pada pengabdian masyarakat ini, peneliti menyusun materi edukasi mengenai rehabilitasi NPB yang dapat dilakukan di rumah. Kami mengukur skala nyeri dan kualitas hidup pasien sebelum dan sesudah edukasi. Skala nyeri pasien diukur dengan Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), sedangkan kualitas hidup pasien dinilai dengan The World Health Organization Quality of Life – BREF (WHOQOL-BREF). Uji T-test dependen menunjukkan terdapat penurunan intensitas nyeri (p=0.000) dan perbaikan kualitas hidup peserta (p=0.000) setelah edukasi.

Published: May 2023

In Indonesia, insurance companies started operating in 1853 and are still experiencing ups and downs due to the emergence of various community movements. Insurance in Indonesia continues to grow, which is marked by the increasing number of insurance companies to more than 100 companies. Some of the insurance companies are categorized as Shariah or Islamic insurance. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the current condition of Islamic insurance in Indonesia and the prediction about its prospects and future. Using secondary data from various sources, we find that Islamic insurance in Indonesia has experienced a decline over the past year. One of the causes of the decline in the growth of Islamic insurance is the domino effect of the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, Islamic insurance is also quite challenging to develop in Indonesia, even though the majority of the population is Muslim.

Islamic crowdfunding is a crowdfunding platform designed to comply with Islamic principles, a collective effort to collect/raise funds to fund projects (including startups), provide financing for personal or business, and other needs through an internet platform following Islamic principles. As a country with the largest Muslim population globally, Indonesia sees this as an excellent opportunity to support its economic development. In this regard, the purpose of this article is to find out how the Islamic Crowdfunding opportunity is an alternative solution to Islamic funding in support of the Indonesian Islamic Economic Masterplan (MEKSI). Based on data from the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) through the 5th Annual Islamic Finance Conference (AIFC), Islamic Fintech assets in Indonesia grew to reach 134 billion rupiahs in June 2021, representing 3 percent of total fintech assets in Indonesia. From this data, it can be interpreted that the opportunity for Islamic Crowdfunding, which is one of the products of Islamic Fintech as alternative funding, is still very wide open. Using SWOT analysis, we find in this paper that Islamic Crowdfunding could be an alternative to Islamic funding in Indonesia. Therefore, it is expected that the government and related agencies, especially the Financial Services Authority (OJK), can take the right steps in managing Islamic crowdfunding. It is also expected that Muslims can participate in campaigning or supporting the Indonesian Islamic Economic Masterplan (MEKSI) through Islamic Crowdfunding.

The purpose of this research is to find out how the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Indonesian tourism sector. By investigating some secondary sources, we find that the number of tourist arrivals in Indonesia fell by 71 percent during the pandemic. In addition, foreign exchange earnings through industry and tourism in 2020 decreased by 81 percent at $3.2 billion compared to 2019 of $16.9 billion. On the other hand, this study found that government policies such as social restrictions taken by the government greatly affected the Indonesian tourism sector. The tourism sector that is most affected is the sector that is directly related to the presence of foreign tourists and domestic tourists, such as MSMEs, hotels, and the culinary industries. The government needs to periodically evaluate the policies taken so that the tourism sector can also continue to run as it should while still complying with health protocols.

Published: May 2023

Our study aims to contribute to the research literature in market conduct supervision as a global and fundamental component in financial consumer protection, especially the post-2008 Global Financial Crisis. The international regulatory institutions had agreed on the need for a robust framework for market conduct supervision. However, the actual implementation of market conduct supervision by the Indonesia Financial Services Authority is lacking behind other topics. General research articles of market conduct supervision in Indonesia rarely discuss the economic aspects of the phenomena, emphasizing the analysis of the legal dynamics of the phenomena. Therefore, using focus group discussion, literature review, and Social Fabric Matrix, we try to visualize the overall landscape of the market conduct supervision in Indonesia.

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a real and widespread impact on all industries in Indonesia, potentially increasing corporate bankruptcy (financial distress). This study examines the effect of financial ratios on financial distress in various industrial sub-sectors on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during and before the pandemic. The research began with creating a financial distress prediction model using the Logistics Regression Model with monetary and macroeconomic ratio data input during 2016 – 2020. The economic distress prediction model will measure financial distress during the Pandemic and Pre-Pandemic Periods. Empirical testing shows that the pandemic affects the ability of financial ratios to predict bankruptcy. Only the debt ratio and sales growth were significant in predicting bankruptcy during the pre-pandemic period, but cash flow could also expect a default during the pandemic. During a pandemic, sales growth is the most important because it is the aspect most affected by restrictions on consumers' social and economic activities.
