A Study on The Hidden Exploitation of Labor Process: The Case of Chinese Female Take-Away Riders
Authors: Li Wei , Niu Chenkai
Published: July 2023

While creating more employment opportunities for Chinese women, algorithm-centered platform technologies have further exposed Chinese female take-out riders to hidden surplus value and gender labor exploitation. By examining the labor process, labor reproduction, and surplus value production process, this paper reveals that women face value extraction outside of the childcare and family spheres; at the same time, the platform technology controlled by the logic of capital further intensifies the exploitation of women's living space and social reproduction spheres; in addition, this technology-driven labor group also breeds hidden gender violence and other current situations. This study realistically illustrates the urgent need for the platform economy to address the hidden exploitation in the field of labor reproduction.

Published: July 2023

The Service is required to be part of the hospital in implementing the documentation of nursing care using computerization. Patients in hospitals often feel dissatisfied with services because nurses take too long to search for patient history data and nurses feel dissatisfied in paper-based documentation which makes the workload increase. The purpose of this study was to design a nursing care documentation design in the 2000s SDKI, SLKI, SIKI (3S) in hospital management information systems on nurse satisfaction. The research method used a research and development design as well as descriptive observational cross sectional with a total sampling technique of 74 nursing respondents at Dian Harapan Jayapura Hospital and analyzed using simple regression analysis. The results showed that 73% of the 3-S nursing care documentation design in SIMRS was in the good category and 77% of nurses were satisfied with the 2000s nursing care documentation design in SIMRS and a significant p-value (0.000) which means that there is an effect of 30.8 % between the design of the 3S nursing care documentation in SIMRS and the satisfaction of nurses at Dian Harapan Jayapura Hospital. It can be said that by increasing the resulting information system, the satisfaction of nurses as users is getting better. It is recommended to hold socialization, training and policy realization for nurses documenting 3S nursing care in SIMRS.

Published: July 2023

Ancient manuscripts are one of the historical relics that must be preserved in existence. Along with the development of science, the field of critical discourse analysis is increasingly in demand. But unfortunately, ancient manuscripts  are  still rarely studied with this field of imu. Therefore, this studyaims to present a  critical discourse analysis on ancient manuscripts, namely the  Bima Land Customary Law (HATB)  manuscript belonging to the Bima (Mbojo) regional community in the province of West Nusa Tenggara. The presentation was delivered descriptively with Norman Fairclough's Model Critical Discourse Analysis Method. The research data is in the form of quotations of verses in the HATB manuscript. Data is collected by Listening Methods and Document Analysis Techniques. At the data analysis stage, the Norman Fairclough Model Critical Discourse Analysis is used by putting into practice all elements of its structure. In addition,  data analysis activities utilize interactive analysis according to Miles and Huberman. Next, the data is presented by formal and informal methods. Based on the data analysis, it was shown that Fairclough divided the discourse analysis into three dimensions, namely text, discourse practice, and sociocultural practice. In the text of the Customary Law of Bima Land, these three things are integrated and sustainable. The manuscript was made by the people, because of the people, and in the interest of the people. The verses in the HATB text are representations of the relationship between man and God, man with man with other  beings, and man with himself.

Evolution of the “American Dream” as a Value System and its Representation in Hollywood Movies
Authors: Melkumyan Yuliana , Mkrtchyan Seda
Published: July 2023

The “American dream” is a value system, which is the locomotive of the development of American society. It is one of the core elements of the American identity. The idea of the “American dream” presents the terminal values of equality, liberty, prosperity and happiness. Hard work, sacrifice, courage in the face of taking risks, diligence and the act of overcoming hardships are presented as instrumental values, which are required to achieve the terminal values mentioned above. The concept of the “American Dream” has evolved with the passage of time and faced different challenges, which resulted in a number of contradictions between the dream and the social reality. Hollywood movies are used as one of the tools to propagate the “American Dream” both inside of the United States and abroad. This article examines the representation of the terminal and instrumental values of the “American Dream” in Hollywood films (2018-2021) with anti-racist content, as well as films about family, the American Armed Forces, the US president, and the rule of law, through visual, verbal and audio means. Nevertheless, while the films communicate the same terminal and instrumental values, they also occasionally show the existing contradictions. Hard work does not always lead to achieving the "American dream". Even though the fight for equality is going strong, inequality still exists. Along with the rule of law, there are also manifestations of corruption. At the same time, the USA continues to be presented as a safe, powerful and wealthy country.
Guidelines of Care for Cutaneous Haemangiomas
Authors: Chan YC , Giam YC
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Haemangiomas are common benign tumours of the vascular endothelium. They are extremely heterogenous clinically, with size, location and rate of proliferation having a significant effect on the risk of complications. Materials and Methods: The available evidence in the literature was evaluated using the grading system currently employed by the Ministry of Health, Singapore. Results: An uncomplicated haemangioma can be observed for spontaneous involution. However, some haemangiomas may be life- or function-threatening, or have associated structural anomalies. Corticosteroids may be used topically, intralesionally or systemati cally. Interferon alpha, vincristine and cyclophosphamide are therapeutic options for compli cated haemangiomas which do not respond to corticosteroids. Vascular-specific pulse dye laser therapy may be considered for superficial haemangiomas, ulcerated haemangiomas or post-involution sequelae like telangiectasia. The mainstay of therapy for ulcerated haemangiomas is good local wound care, analgesics and treatment of secondary infection. A periorbital haemangioma that obstructs the visual axis or exerts pressure on the globe is an ocular emergency. Systemic corticosteroids and patching of the unaffected eye should be considered. Conclusions: Medical practitioners should be aware of available therapeutic options for life- or function-threatening haemangiomas. Treatment must be individualised and referral to the relevant specialist should be considered in patients with complicated haemangiomas.
Re: Delusional parasitosis: treatment with atypical antipsychotics
Authors: Aw DCW , Thong JY , Chan HL
Published: July 2023

Recently, Aw et al1 presented a valuable case series of patients from Singapore suffering from delusional parasitosis (DP). The authors highlighted the superiority of atypical antipsychotics (AA) over traditional substances in the treatment of DP based on their better overall tolerability, e.g., less extrapyramidal symptoms. Furthermore, they pointed to the higher potential of traditional antipsychotics like pimozide, the standard substance for treating DP, to cause a prolongation of the QTc interval which may lead to fatal ventricular arrhythmia. Herewith, we would like to add some remarks on the use of newer, second-generation AAs in DP.
A Two-stage Approach Identifies a Q344X Mutation in the Rhodopsin Gene of a Chinese Singaporean Family with Autosomal Dominant Retinitis Pigmentosa
Authors: Yong RYY , Chee CKL , Yap EPH
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of hereditary retinal diseases in which photoreceptor cells degenerate. It is both clinically and genetically heterogenous. Using a two stage approach by combining linkage analysis with mutation detection, we have rapidly identified the gene locus and the mutation site of a Chinese Singaporean family with autosomal dominant RP. Materials and Methods: Three Chinese Singaporean families were tested. One family showed autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, while the other two could be recessive or sporadic. Twelve di-nucleotide markers tightly linked to 6 genes known to be responsible for either autosomal dominant or recessive RP were selected for linkage analysis. Cosegregation of marker and disease inheritance pattern permits identification of the target candidate gene. RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) markers were added to confirm the linkage result prior to the detailed mutation detection study. Results: With this two-stage strategy, the autosomal dominant RP family showed the rhodopsin locus segregating concordantly with the disease. Mutation screening later identified a nonsense mutation 5261C>T in the last exon of rhodopsin gene. It predicted a Q344X changes at the C-terminus of the gene product, truncating it by 5 amino acids. Conclusion: This systematic approach facilitates molecular diagnosis of a genetically heterogenous disease like RP. This is the first report of an RP mutation in Singapore. This 5261C>T mutation has been reported in the Caucasian, but not the Chinese population. The relatively milder phenotype in this family showed similarity to the reported US family, indicating the correlation of mutation site to severity of disease regardless of ethnicity.
Establishing Harmony and Social Awareness in Religious Diversity
Authors: Dachlan Muhammad
Published: July 2023

This article presents issues related to harmonization and social awareness in religious diversity in Indonesia. Maintaining religious harmony is the responsibility of the state and its people. Moreover, Indonesia is a country with people who have several religions and beliefs. Based on Pancasila, people try to maintain harmony with their social awareness in tolerance for practicing their respective religions. However, there are still ripples in this harmony. Several cases in the name of religion occurred. The state intervenes with regulations, religious leaders, community leaders, government and community members intervene to resolve them. Several research results found that religious harmony still leaves many problems. Models of religious relations that have not completely dissolved, prejudice still appears and remain within the framework of the dominance of the majority group. Respect for differences, tolerance, dialogue and communication, cooperation, and solidarity, overcoming prejudice and discrimination are ways to maintain harmony and social awareness in religious diversity.

Published: July 2023

This study aimed to estimate above and belowground carbon stock in Acacia mangium stands of different silvicultural systems (planted and regeneration) at the Bengkoka Forest Plantation, Pitas, Sabah, Malaysia. Aboveground biomass (AGB) and belowground biomass (BGB), and soil organic carbon content (SOC) at depth of 30 cm were quantified. A comparison was done between the two different silvicultural systems of Acacia mangium. A random systematic sampling method was used for conducting the forest inventory. Three circular plots of 0.25 ha were established in each of the Acacia mangium systems. Diameter at breast high (DBH) of every tree was measured using a diameter tape. Shrub layer and organic layer were measured at five randomly selected positions in each plot. Five litter fall traps (1m x 1m) were set up in the same position as the shrub and organic layer. Three holes (25 cm x 25 cm x 30 cm) were dug to get the roots for quantifying the roots biomass and soil for carbon content. The soil bulk density was determined by using undisturbed soil samples collected by using 51 mm diameter ring (100 cc.). The results showed that the total amount of carbon stock was 73.56 t ha-1 and 82.40 t ha-1 for planted and regeneration stands, respectively. The study revealed that the major contributor to total carbon stock for both planted and regeneration Acacia mangium stands was the aboveground biomass with mean values of 46.99 t ha-1 and 53.83 t ha-1 followed by belowground biomass with mean values of 26.57 t ha-1 and 28.57 t ha-1, respectively.

Authors: Soloi Sabrina , Mohammad Adib Afifi
Published: July 2023

The utilization of agro-based fibre in replacing the wood fibre for pulp and paper making has been the subject of interest due to the abundance of this agro-based fibre as well as to reduce the usage of wood pulp. The presence of cellulose and hemicellulose in acceptable amount for pulp paper makes this agro based fibre an alternative in paper making industry. Previous study has shown that oil palm leaf fibre can be moulded into paper sheet without any binding agent, however, the physical properties ofthe paper were very low compare to other non-wood paper. In this study, the oil palm leaf paper was prepared using 5,8,11 and 14% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) with the addition of 5% starch as the binding agent. The incorporation of starch increases the smoothness of the paper. The tear strength of the paper increases with increasing concentration of sodium hydroxide. At higher concentration ofsodium hydroxide, the paper tear index falls within the range of commercial paper tear index. This study proves that the oil palm leaf has the potential to be developed in paper making industry.

Published: July 2023

Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) instruments have been widely used for quantification of forest biomass. This study investigated the relationships between LiDAR data and aboveground biomass (AGB). The study area is located at the 50-ha dynamic plot in a primary forest area of the Pasoh Forest Reserve, a lowland dipterocarp forest, a type of evergreen tropical moist forest. A number of variables have been produced from the LiDAR metrics. These variables were correlated with AGB that were derived from census data. The study found that the CHM and a few matrices are the best predictors for AGB and therefore used for the estimation of AGB in the entire study area. The estimated AGB ranged from 52 to 718 Mg ha-1, with a root mean square error (RMSE) of about 59 Mg ha-1. The study suggests that the AGB estimates produced by this study are the most accurate – with an accuracy of 83% based on the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) – as compared to other remotely-sensed based estimates in the study area.

Published: July 2023

Chitosan, a biopolymer that consist of various properties, has multiple applications throughout industries where one of the promising applicarion of chitosan is its preservative effect. Chitosan, a bioactive natural edible coat can be considered a promising alternative to overcome the freshness of bananas during storage. Throughout this study, observations were made on weight loss, peel colour changes and titratable acidity for the effect of chitosan coating. In terms of weight loss, among four different concentration of chitosan coating solution, the 2.0% chitosan coating solution showed the lowest weight loss percentage which is 22.6% compare to others which were 1.0% (26.00%), 0.5% (26.20%) and 1.5% (34.24%) significantly. The result marked variations between the uncoated banana and coated banana at different concentrations of chitosan coating solution (ASC) which are 0.50, 1.00, 1.50 and 2.00%. The peel color changes were significantly different during the first and final day of observation for each concentration. A significant variation was observed for the titratable acidity of the banana fruit where the lowest value obtained was 0.812% during coating with 2.0% chitosan coating solution while the highest titratable acidity was observed during the coating with 1.5% chitosan solution which is 2.11%. To summarize, banana coating with chitosan can decreased the weight loss of the banana fruit as well as improve the peel color changes during 12 days of storage. Besides that, banana coating with chitosan can also lower the value of titratable acidity of the banana fruit compared to uncoated bananas.

Published: July 2023

Composting is a controlled biological process that converts organic matter into soil conditioner and kinetic modelling is necessary to design the composting system. The aims of this study are to determine the optimum compost mixture and turning frequency for food waste and dry leaves composting, as well as to evaluate an elemental kinetic model based on volatile solids (VS). The elemental kinetics of the process were determined using pseudo zero-, first-, second- and n-order equations. Three different feedstock mixtures were used, namely 40% FW (Mix A), 60% FW (Mix B) and 80% FW (Mix C). Four sets of experiments (TF for every 0, 1, 3, and 5 days) were conducted to investigate the turning frequency (TF). The composting process was carried out in a compost bottle for 40 days. Based on organic matter loss, Mix B and C had the highest OM loss, indicating an acceptable initial compost mixture. The turning frequency of every three days resulted in the highest organic matter loss. Kinetic analysis was performed using coefficient correlation (R2), root mean square error (RMSE) and modelling efficiency (EF). Application of the second-order model resulted in good responses for compost mixture Mix B and C. Meanwhile, the n-order model successfully estimated the VS changes for the 3-days TF.
EXPLORING RUNGUS LONGOI DOT PONGIZAP (COUNTING SONGS) OF SABAH
Authors: Jinky Jane C Simeon
Published: July 2023

The Rungus are one of the indigenous Dusunic ethnic groups of Sabah, the northernmost region of Malaysia on Borneo Island. Most Rungus people reside in the administrative Districts of Kudat and Pitas of northern Sabah. In Rungus culture, many different genres of intangible cultural heritage, including traditional secular folk songs, have been passed down orally over generations. An important category of longoi tanganak (children’s songs) is longoi dot pongizap (counting songs). The author collected 87 Rungus longoi tanganak from Kudat and Pitas Districts. This paper discusses the longoi dot pongizap from a detailed study that aimed to (a) document and transcribe the longoi dot pongizap of Rungus from the field that are recalled by the older people, and (b) analyse the musical characteristics of the collected longoi dot pongizap, and provide recommendations for connecting the Rungus longoi dot pongizap with the principles of Kodály. This research employed ethnographic field techniques including participant observation, in-depth and focus group interviews, as well as audio and video recording. The musical transcriptions of selected songs were then analysed using the Kodály Folk Song Analysis. This study suggests that more indigenous folk songs from other ethnic groups in Sabah should be collected, documented, and introduced to the public, as it will build cultural awareness among different ethnicities in Malaysia.

Published: July 2023

This article presents a theoretical context on technologies integrated into the classroom, linked to quality in schools. The purpose of this is to show the importance of the process of using technologies integrated into classrooms as an advantage to achieve the quality of learning within the school. Faced with the demanding educational world and a globalized society, technological tools in classrooms must be designed with quality. The future of an educational institution depends on the technologies integrated into the classroom and can be able to satisfy the requirements of educational quality. These integrated technologies can provide students, today, more than ever, with a passport to the student’s digital development, where it is a topic to think about and reflect on the growth of learning acquired at school, where all this belongs to the use of effective educational tools. So-called digital teachers and students are the only ones capable of self-direction and development, as they are the people who make things happen, who drive learning, produce progress and provide services in an exceptional way. And to maintain good quality learning as a differential, the school must seek to keep its staff always well-prepared and technologically advanced.
Forensic Examination of Post-Fire Damaged Electrical Conductors by Quantitative Measurement
Authors: Svare Mark , Hanke Neal
Published: July 2023

During their course of work, forensic engineers and electricians may apply electrical engineering and scientific principles to forensic investigations by performing electrical surveys and electrical fault evaluations. When undertaking a fire investigation, an investigator may implement a similar electrical fault methodology called “arc mapping” or more recently termed an “arc survey.” The correct application of either of these methodologies is dependent, in part, on the forensic investigator’s ability to distinguish features observed on damaged electrical wiring and equipment. Experiments were conducted to generate a post-fire damaged electrical artifact dataset for this engineering analysis. Generated artifacts of arc melting, fire melting, and mechanical damage features were examined, measured, and quantified by applying metallurgical analyses, such as visual examination, measurement, light microscopy, SEM/EDS, X-ray, and/or metallographic examination. The results produced a novel proof of concept method of quantifying and reliably identifying electrical conductor damage features for forensic electrical fault (short circuit) and/or arc survey evaluations.
The Effect of Credit Risk, Capital Adequacy and Operational Efficiency on Banking Financial Performance with a Profitability Approach
Authors: Wahyuni Putri Dwi , Choirul Umam Danang
Published: July 2023

Good bank performance can be seen from the value of profitability. To produce good performance, the bank does not escape the risks that will occur, capital adequacy, and operational efficiency. Credit risk occurs due to the customer's failure to fulfill its obligations. Capital adequacy is a policy or regulation of a company or bank in handling its capital. Operational efficiency is a smaller cost incurred to generate profits than the profits derived from the use of these assets. The data analysis used is panel data regression. The population is banking from 2019 to 2021. The results show that operational efficiency as proxied by BOPO has a significant effect on banking financial performance as proxied by ROA.

This study examines the effect of techno-stressor and psychological capital on task performance through burnout mediation. Data collection used an online survey using a self-enumeration previous research questionnaire. The research sample is 181 employees in the public sector. Data analysis was performed using the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) with the SmartPLS 3.0 statistical program. The results showed that the techno-stressor had a significant positive effect on burnout and a negative effect on task performance but not significant. Psychological capital has a significant negative effect on burnout and a significant positive effect on task performance. In addition, burnout has a significant negative effect on task performance. From the role of mediating burnout between techno-stressor and psychological capital on task performance, the direction of the relationship supports previous research, but it is not significant. This study concludes that organizational management needs to pay attention to techno-stressor factors and psychological capital in managing employee task performance. Efforts to reduce technostress and increase employee psychological capital can help improve task performance and reduce the risk of burnout. The implications of this research can be used as a basis for developing better human resource management strategies in overcoming technostress and increasing employee psychological capital to improve task performance and productivity in the workplace

Abstract. Nitrous acid (HONO) is a crucial precursor of tropospheric hydroxyl radicals but its sources are not fully understood. Soil is recognized as an important HONO source, but the lack of measurements of soil-atmosphere HONO exchange flux (FHONO) has led to uncertainties in modeling its atmospheric impacts and understanding the reactive nitrogen budget. To address this, we conduct long-period FHONO measurements over agricultural fields under fertilized (FHONO-NP) and non-fertilized (FHONO-CK) treatments. Our results show that nitrogen fertilizer use causes a remarkable increase in FHONO-NP and it exhibits distinct diurnal variations, with an average noontime peak of 152 ng N m-2 s-1. The average FHONO-NP within three weeks after fertilization is 97.7 ± 8.6 ng N m-2 s-1, around two orders of magnitude higher than before fertilization, revealing the remarkable promotion effect of nitrogen fertilizer on HONO emissions. We also discuss other factors that influence soil HONO emissions, such as meteorological parameters and soil properties/nutrients. Additionally, we estimate the HONO emission factor of 0.68 ± 0.07 % relative to the applied nitrogen during the whole growing season of summer maize. Accordingly, the fertilizer-induced soil HONO emission is estimated to be 0.06 and 0.16 Tg N yr-1 in the North China Plain (NCP) and China, respectively, representing a significant reactive nitrogen source. Furthermore, our observations reveal that soil emissions sustain a high level of daytime HONO, enhancing the atmospheric oxidizing capacity and aggravating O3 pollution in the NCP. Our results indicate that in order to effectively mitigate regional air pollution, future policies should consider reactive nitrogen emissions from agricultural soils.
Automated indexing using NLM's Medical Text Indexer (MTI) compared to human indexing in Medline: a pilot study

Objective: In 2002, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) introduced semi-automated indexing of Medline using the Medical Text Indexer (MTI). In 2021, NLM announced that it would fully automate its indexing in Medline with an improved MTI by mid-2022. This pilot study examines indexing using a sample of records in Medline from 2000, and how an early, public version of MTI's outputs compares to records created by human indexers.
Methods: This pilot study examines twenty Medline records from 2000, a year before the MTI was introduced as a MeSH term recommender. We identified twenty higher- and lower-impact biomedical journals based on Journal Impact Factor (JIF) and examined the indexing of papers by feeding their PubMed records into the Interactive MTI tool.
Results: In the sample, we found key differences between automated and human-indexed Medline records: MTI assigned more terms and used them more accurately for citations in the higher JIF group, and MTI tended to rank the Male check tag more highly than the Female check tag and to omit Aged check tags. Sometimes MTI chose more specific terms than human indexers but was inconsistent in applying specificity principles.
Conclusion: NLM’s transition to fully automated indexing of the biomedical literature could introduce or perpetuate inconsistencies and biases in Medline. Librarians and searchers should assess changes to index terms, and their impact on PubMed’s mapping features for a range of topics. Future research should evaluate automated indexing as it pertains to finding clinical information effectively, and in performing systematic searches.
Eğitim Kurumlarında Örgütsel Çatışma Yönetimi Sürecinin Oluşturulması Aşamasında Yaşanan Güçlükler ve Üstesinden Gelinme Yöntemlerinin İncelenmesi

In this study, it is aimed to examine the difficulties experienced during the formation of the organizational conflict management process in educational institutions and the methods of overcoming them. In the Turkish National Education system, the idea that teaching is the main thing in educational services was widespread until recently, so no importance was given to training an educational administrator. Education management was also not considered as a profession and specialty. Developments in management science have enabled the institutionalization of educational management. Ministry of National Education's publication of the Ministry of National Education's Executive Appointment, Evaluation, Promotion and Relocation Regulation, which entered into force by being published in the official Gazette dated April 30, 1999 and numbered 23681, has taken a modern step that provides for the education of educational managers in the field of pre-service management, recognizing that management is a separate profession from science and teaching. Each of the individuals working in schools has different feelings, different perceptions, different values and different areas of expertise. Disputes and disagreements that occur from time to time between these individuals who come together to achieve the goals of the school cause conflicts. Dec.Dec. Deconfliction is a kind of communication way, it is a product of interpersonal interaction. It is unthinkable that there should be no conflict in educational organizations whose raw material is people. The important thing here is not the absence of conflict, but the good management of conflict. Where there are people, conflict is inevitable. Therefore, conflicts arise in every organization for various reasons at various times. Since conflict cannot be avoided, it should be managed appropriately in a way that is in the best interest of the school to ensure that the goals of the school are realized more effectively and efficiently. Whether the results of conflict experienced in schools are positive or negative depends on how the conflict is managed. School principals should have knowledge and skills about the concept of conflict, types of conflict, and conflict resolution strategies in order to manage conflicts occurring at school in a way that is appropriate for the benefit of the school.

In this study, it is aimed to examine the strategies for solving organizational conflict sources and problem foci in educational institutions. Conflicts that are effectively managed in other institutions, especially educational institutions, contribute to the development of the organization's mission and culture. There are always conflicts and differences of opinion in organizations. Because conflict is an integrative quality of change. Organizations in which there is no conflict are stationary organizations. Innovation, change and performance are low in these organizations. In organizations where there are constant and intense conflicts, failure to make decisions on time, inability to solve problems, staff demoralization and stress cause a negative impact on work efficiency. Even the increasingly violent conflicts that cannot be resolved endanger the existence of the organization. Reasonable level of conflict should be encouraged because it is necessary for the dynamism, productivity, innovation and development of the organization. Educational organizations are composed of different people with different motivations, programs, lifestyles, communication structures. For this reason, conflict is inevitable in schools, as in other organizations. Since conflict plays a recurring role in the lives of school administrators and teachers, individuals holding these positions should learn to manage conflict effectively and direct conflict to constructive results. Instead of accepting that the conflict that arises in their own organizations does not exist at all, school administrators should see it as a source of constructive and productive movement. Managers should not eliminate conflicts completely by suppressing them, nor should they ignore them and not allow conflicts to reach a level that will harm the organization. Managers should keep conflicts at a reasonable level by applying the most appropriate solution strategy or strategies after investigating the causes of conflicts. Thus, it should make conflicts suitable for the benefit of the organization. Managers should not be afraid of conflicts, on the contrary, they should be able to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization by taking advantage of conflicts.
