Evolusi Perolehan Awam di Malaysia Dari Era Kolonial British Sehingga Pelaksanaan Dasar Ekonomi Baru (Evolution of Public Procurement in Malaysia from The British Colonial Era To The Period Of The New Economic Policy)
Authors: Azizan Muhammad Firdaus , Daud Sity , Hamil Jamaie
Published: June 2024

This article is an analysis of the evolution and changes that occurred in public procurement in Malaysia from two eras, namely the era of British colonialism and the era of the implementation of the New Economic Policy (NEP). The targeted objective is to examine the changes that occurred in public procurement during the period, analyze the reasons and factors why those changes occurred and then the impact that was left behind. This is important because the public procurement policy in those two periods has become the basis of the government procurement system in Malaysia today. Political and the direction of the government were found to play a role in shaping the form of public procurement in both eras and it was systematically legitimized. The British have made public spending run according to their mold and direction even though the sultan is still the supreme ruler of a state. Through the term “advising” versus “directing” in managing the administration, the British established the Federal Assembly as a legitimate control tool to govern and dominate the financial administration in their colonial states. Crown agents played an important role in public procurement representing the supreme British government in London and this continued until after independence. NEP which was launched in 1971 witnessed an important transition where there was a clear role for the government by being more actively involved in the national development agenda through public procurement. This happens through affirmative policies in the form of legislation, bureaucratic frameworks and quota systems. This has had an impact on the country’s public procurement policy until now.
Dasar Pentadbir British Terhadap Penanaman Kelapa dalam kalangan Orang Melayu di Negeri-Negeri Melayu Bersekutu Semasa Penjajahan, 1874-1940 (The British Administrators’ Policies Towards Coconut Cultivation among Malays in Federated Malay States During Colonisation, 1874-1940)
Authors: Mohamed Sharif Siti Noor Hafizah , Zainun Nazarudin
Published: June 2024

This article discusses the policies of British administrators towards the Malays’ coconut cultivation as a commercial crop for export purposes. In commercial coconut cultivation for export purposes, the British administrators not only refrained from hindering but also encouraged the Malays to continuously plant coconuts. However, the British administration’s policies towards Malays on coconut cultivation is not detailed in past writings. On the contrary, previous writings only focused on British effort in commercialising coconut products and the socio-economic effects resulting from the development of coconut cultivation. Therefore, this study will concentrate on the British administrators’ policies towards Malays coconut cultivation, why the British administrators adopted such a policies and the efforts made to ensure that Malays continue to cultivate coconuts. This writing argues that the British administrators endeavored to encourage and influence the Malays to continue planting coconuts in order to diversify agricultural products for export, thus reducing dependence on rubber cultivation and subsequently increasing income through exports. Additionally, this effort aimed to meet the needs of the manufacturing sector within Malaya itself. The British administrators’ efforts to promote coconut cultivation among the Malays were not only through positive encouragement but also implemented through coercion. This writing uses a historical approach, specifically the method of analysing primary sources in the form of official records of the British administrators, such as the Year Book And Manual of Statistics, Malayan Agricultural Journal, Federated Malay States Gazette Agricultural Bulletin of the Straits and Federated Malay States, and other related records.
Exploring the Nexus: A Study of Malaysia-Bangladesh Relations in the Context of Migrant Workes, 1980-2022
Authors: Islam Khondaker M Shahidul , Dali Azharudin
Published: June 2024

This article examines the genesis of the migrant workers-based relationships between Malaysia and Bangladesh that commenced in the 1980s and persists to recent days, particularly up to 2022. It provides a delineation of migration-related issues including the establishment of reciprocal relations, the commencement of labour migration to Malaysia, associate expenses, wages and remittance flow and the legitimacy of the worker’s mobility. The research further uncovers the socio-cultural constraints faced by Bangladeshi workers in Malaysia. The enduring connection between Malaysia and Bangladesh dates back to the ancient period characterised by a responsive interplay. Migrant worker issues have emerged as a pivotal aspect of their bilateral ties and were symptomatic with a new bilateral buildout with exercising diplomatic promptness after Bangladesh became an independent country. Employing the historiographic approach as a method, this study synthesises primary and secondary sources such as occasional reports, agreements, newspapers, books and articles. The findings present an empirical account and factual illustration of the reciprocal relationships and their constraints concerning the migration process, financial transactions and legalities of movement. The insights derived from this research would be the source for the policymakers and diplomats enabling them to reshape strategies in light of these perspectives. Additionally, this research paves the way for further studies by addressing gaps in the existing literature on Malaysia-Bangladesh relations.
SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CHROMIUM-BASED CATALYSTS ON TITANIUM-MODIFIED-MCM-41 FOR OXIDATIVE DEHYDROGENATION OF ISOBUTANE

Published: June 2024

This study aimed to prepare chromium-based catalysts on titanium-modified MCM-41 for oxidative dehydrogenation reactions. MCM-41 was synthesized hydrothermally. In order to increase the hydrothermal stability of support, titanium was added to the MCM-41. The titanium source (K2TiF6) was dissolved in two different solvents (hot water and sulfuric acid). The hydrothermal stability test was performed with the samples. The samples were characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption/desorption, FT-IR, and SEM/EDS analysis. When titanium was added to the MCM-41 structure, it was determined that the pore walls thickened, and the main peak characterizing the hexagonal structure was preserved. With the modification, the average pore diameter of MCM-41 decreased from 28Å to 22Å, and the surface area decreased from 1250 m2/g to 500 m2/g. The hydrothermal stability test indicated that the loading of titanium improved the stability of MCM-41. FT-IR results showed that titanium has formed strong bonds with oxygen atoms, creating Si-O-Ti, Ti-OH, and Ti-O bonds. These bonds enhanced to stabilize the MCM-41 structure, making it more resistant to structural changes. Smaller crystal size (178Å) and higher surface area (554 m2/g) were determined in the support prepared by dissolving the titanium source in hot water. Therefore, this support was used in catalyst synthesis. Chromium-based catalysts on titanium-modified MCM-41 were prepared by wet impregnation method at different chromium loading (3% and 10%, by mass). The presence of the anatase phase of TiO2 and inactive α-Cr2O3 in the high chromium-loaded sample was determined. Therefore, catalytic tests were carried out with a catalyst containing 3% chromium by mass, prepared using a Ti-modified support, as well as a catalyst prepared using an unmodified support. The highest isobutane conversion (94%) and isobutene selectivity (81%) values were obtained for catalyst supported on Ti-modified MCM-41. High activity predicted for catalyst supported on modified MCM-41 was explained by improving hydrophilic properties.

Published: June 2024

A fundamental mathematical field with many applications in science and engineering is linear algebra. This paper investigates the various applications of linear algebra in the fields of traffic flow analysis, electric circuits, cubic spline interpolation, and genetics. This research delves into individual applications while emphasizing cross-disciplinary insights, fostering innovative solutions through the convergence of genetics, cubic spline interpolation, circuits, and traffic flow analysis.
The research employs specific methodologies in each application area to demonstrate the practical integration of linear algebra in genetics, cubic spline interpolation, electric circuits, and traffic flow analysis.
In genetics, linear algebra techniques are utilized to represent genetic data using matrices, analyze genotype distributions across generations, and identify genotype-phenotype associations. For cubic spline interpolation, linear algebra is employed to construct smooth interpolating curves, involving the derivation of equations for spline functions and the determination of coefficients using boundary conditions and continuity requirements. In electric circuit analysis, linear algebra is crucial for modeling circuit elements, formulating systems of linear equations based on Kirchhoff's laws, and solving for voltage and current distributions in circuits. In traffic flow analysis, linear algebra techniques are used to represent traffic movement in networks, formulate systems of linear equations representing traffic flow dynamics, and solve for traffic flow solutions to optimize transportation networks.
By addressing contemporary challenges, emerging research frontiers, and future trajectories at the intersection of linear algebra and diverse domains, this study underscores the profound impact of mathematical tools in advancing understanding and resolving complex real-world problems across multiple fields.

The Tree-Clan-Individual Concept in Traditional Khakas Culture (Late 19th to Mid-20th Century)
Authors:   Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, Burnakov V. A.
Published: June 2024

В статье на основе этнографических, фольклорных и лингвистических материалов, значительная часть которых впервые вводится в научный оборот, реконструируется и анализируется мировоззренческий концепт «дерево-род-человек» в культуре хакасов. Определяется место дерева и его образа в мифо-ритуальной системе народа. Выявлено, что представления о человеке и его природном окружении в традиционном сознании хакасов формировались путем антропоморфизации. На природные объекты, в т.ч. дерево, переносились человеческие качества. В религиозно-мифологических воззрениях народа дерево отождествлялось с человеком: верхушка — голова, ствол — туловище, ветки — руки, сок — кровь и т.д. Деревья дифференцировались по половой принадлежности: мужчины и женщины. В традиционном сознании были предельно соотнесены жизненные сценарии дерева и человека. Посредством растительного кода описываются разнообразные психофизические, ментальные и иные состояния человека. Представлены выявленные в соционормативной практике особые правила взаимодействия с деревом, применяемые в лесозаготовительной деятельности. В своей основе они сводились к отношению к дереву как к живому человекоподобному существу. Поэтому в мифологическом мышлении рубка дерева почти приравнивалась к убийству человека. Показано, что с деревом связывались представления о душе конкретного человека и коллектива, поэтому каждый хакасский род — сеок — имел свое сакральное дерево. Оно являлась важнейшей частью погребальной обрядности хакасов. Таким образом, в культуре этого народа дерево выступает в качестве важнейшего структурообразующего элемента, обладающего широким семиотическим полем.

В статье рассматривается один из способов представления устной традиции цикла «Сказание о Панджи», внесенного в 2017 г. в реестр документального наследия ЮНЕСКО «Память мира», — яванский спектакль в масках. Результаты исследования показывают, что исполнитель в своем повествовании не пользуется заранее составленным сценарием. В спектакле «Сказание» пластично и имеет несколько вариантов и нововведений в зависимости от интерпретации исполнителя. На композицию повествования влияют как внешние условия, так и продолжительность представления. Уникальность яванской культуры состоит в том, что исполнитель-даланг может проявлять свое творчество только в изложении истории; название и порядок сюжета являются общественным достоянием. Методика «нянтрик» служит способом передачи традиции из поколения в поколение; с помощью этой модели не только знания и опыт исполнителя передаются другим людям, но и осуществляется связь со Всевышним. В настоящем исследовании анализируются особенности устного повествования в традиционном исполнительском искусстве.

Проведено сопоставление 24 карасукских серий мужских черепов с 56 краниологическими сериями иных культур при помощи многомерных методов. На полученной дендрограмме в карасукский кластер входят также носители монгун-тайгинской культуры, саки, савроматы, тавры и группа из Сиалка B. На двумерной проекции этот кластер занимает промежуточное положение между андроновским и окуневским, что демонстрирует смешанный характер карасукской популяции. У представителей «классической» карасукской культуры и северных карасукцев окуневский компонент преобладает, а у каменноложцев и южных карасукцев соотношение двух компонентов ближе к равному. Привлечение к анализу 12 андроновских серий позволило окончательно опровергнуть вывод о том, что единственными предками карасукцев были андроновцы. Обсуждаются механизмы ассимиляции окуневских аборигенов андроновскими иммигрантами.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, okul öncesi dönemde öz düzenleme ile ilgili yapılan araştırmaların sistematik incelenmesidir. Sistematik inceleme ile bu alanda hangi tür araştırmaların yapıldığı, hangi yöntemlerin uygulandığı ve öz düzenlemenin hangi boyutları üzerinde araştırmaların yapıldığı gösterilmektedir. Ayrıca bu inceleme öz düzenleme ile ilgili çalışmalara nasıl bir eğilim olduğunu görmek ve çocukların öz düzenleme becerilerine ilişkin araştırmaların bulgularına yönelik değerlendirmeler yapmak açısından önem göstermektedir. Sistematik inceleme yöntemiyle 2012-2023 yılları arasında gerçekleştirilen ve Web of Science veri tabanında yer alan araştırmalar incelenmiştir. Çalışmalar anahtar kelimelere, yıllara, ülkelere, yöntemlere, örneklem gruplarına, veri toplama araçlarına, çalışmanın birincil bulgularına ve öz düzenlemenin incelenen boyutlarına göre analiz edilmiştir. Web of Science veri tabanında yer alan ve okul öncesi dönemde öz düzenlemeyi inceleyen 73 çalışma, araştırmanın kapsamını oluşturmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda öz düzenlemeye yönelik araştırmalarda boylamsal çalışmaların yer aldığını, öz düzenlemeye yönelik araştırmaların artış gösterdiğini, nicel çalışmalara daha fazla yer verilirken nitel çalışmalardan oldukça az yararlanıldığı görülmektedir. Öz düzenlemenin boyutları açısından bilişsel düzenleme ile ilgili çalışmalara daha fazla yer verildiği görülmektedir. Ayrıca elde edilen bulgular sonucunda yapılan değerlendirmede okul öncesi dönemde öz düzenleme ve öz düzenleme becerilerine yönelik öğretmen uygulamalarına sınırlı sayıda yer verilirken uygulamaların da sadece araştırmacılar tarafından yapıldığı, öğretmenlerin ise uygulamalarda sınırlı olarak yer aldıkları görülmektedir. Sistematik inceleme değerlendirmesinden yola çıkarak bu çalışma alanının mevcut durumuna yönelik bilgi sunması ve çocukların öz düzenlemelerine yönelik araştırmalarda yön göstermesi açısından fayda sağlayacağı öngörülmektedir.

The Effect of Art on Attitudes Towards Immigrants: The Case of University Students
Authors: Bastaban Ünal , Yılmaz Hüseyin
Published: June 2024

In the multipolar world, forced or voluntary migration occurs as a result of wars, marginalization and utopias. The migration and migrant situation, which brings along social problems, has turned into a dilemma for countries. In this study, the effect of art education on attitudes towards immigrants was investigated. Can art, which is the common language of societies and cultures, be considered as an important element in the phenomenon of migration? In the 2020-2021 academic year, students studying at the state conservatory, faculty of fine arts and other departments without art education were preferred as the sample in the study. The research was designed according to descriptive and causal comparison design. There was no significant difference in the attitudes of students with and without art education towards immigrants in terms of age, class, and high school graduation variables. However, a significant difference was observed in the fields of music and fine arts in the context of gender variable. It was determined that the attitudes of male students were negative.

BACKGROUND: Chronic heart failure is one of the key problems of the Russian domestic healthcare system. E-health can be used to improve medical care quality and reduce the of hospitalizations and mortality.
AIM: To examine the effect of telemedicine monitoring on mortality, frequency of hospitalizations, and clinical and functional states of patients with chronic heart failure.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective, controlled, randomized study was conducted in the Central City Hospital No. 20 in Ekaterinburg (Russia), covering the period from December 2020 to December 2022. Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of chronic heart failure were randomized using the envelope method into three groups: group 1, a telephone control group (n=58); group 2, a remote control group using a Russian medical platform Medsenger (n=52); and group 3, the standard control group (n=103). All patients were examined, including NT-proBNP measurement and echocardiography on the first day of the study and at 3, 6, and 12 months. The occurrence of primary and secondary outcomes was evaluated at these reference points. Stata14 and jamovi software were used for statistical processing.
RESULTS: The study involved 213 participants, and all three groups were comparable in terms of basic demographic and clinical characteristics. The advantage of remote control (groups 1 and 2) over face-to-face observation in reducing cardiovascular mortality was observed after 3 (odds ratio 2.73, 95% confidence interval 1.1–7.39; p=0.042) and 12 (odds ratio 2.1, 95% confidence interval 1.1–3.7; p=0.027) months and that in reducing the occurrence of the combined primary endpoint (odds ratio 2.1, 95% confidence interval 1.1–5.6; p=0.015) after 12 months. The use of the Medsenger platform also demonstrated an advantage over face-to-face observation in the development of the combined secondary endpoint (odds ratio 1.39, 95% confidence interval 0.19–0.81; p=0.011) after 3 months and over telephone control by a nurse after 12 months in reducing cardiovascular mortality (odds ratio 0.177, 95% confidence interval 0.06–0.487; p=0.021) and development of the combined secondary endpoint (odds ratio 0.427, 95% confidence interval 0.189–0.964; p=0.041). When using the Medsenger platform, the ejection fraction increased from 47% initially to 55% after 12 months (p=0.004). The NT-proBNP level decreased from 817 to 582 pg/mL (p 0.001) after 3 months and then to 233 pg/mL after 12 months (p 0.001).
CONCLUSION: Remote monitoring protocols can be a good alternative to the traditional face-to-face monitoring of patients with chronic heart failure, which may improve clinical and functional health indicators.

Finansal piyasalarda bilgi ve yatırımcılar homojen değil heterojendir. Heterojen bir piyasada, piyasa volatilitesi yekpare değil, bileşenlerden oluşur. Volatilitenin bileşenlere ayrılması, volatilite hakkında yatırımcılara ilave bilgiler verir. Bu çalışma, kalıcı ve geçici bileşenlerin Borsa İstanbul, Frankfurt Borsası, Londra Borsası ve Moskova Borsası’nın hisse senedi piyasa volatilitesi üzerine
etkisini incelemiştir. Çalışma 02/01/2003 ve 30/12/2022 tarihleri arasındaki 20 yıllık dönemi kapsamıştır. Engle ve Lee (1999) tarafından önerilen Component GARCH modeli kullanılarak
volatilitenin belirlenmesinde kalıcı ve geçici bileşenlerin etkisi test edilmiştir. Bulgular, Borsa İstanbul’da kalıcı ve geçici bileşenlerin etkili olduğunu, Frankfurt Borsası, Londra Borsası ve Moskova Borsası’nda ise sadece kalıcı bileşenin etkili olduğunu göstermiştir. İlaveten, Frankfurt ve Londra borsaları arasında yüksek volatilite ilişkisi tespit edilirken, Borsa İstanbul ve Moskova
borsaları arasında düşük volatilite ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir.

Looking at Post-Colonial Feminism: A Reading through the Views of Maria Mies
Authors: Kaymaz Mert Melek
Published: June 2024

Post-colonial feminism was born as a reaction to Western feminism. Feminist movements created by Western ways of thinking did not address the problems of non-Western women. Therefore, in countries freed from colonialism, a new feminist movement emerged that addressed the problems of non-Western women. This movement, called postcolonial feminism, addresses the problems experienced by women in postcolonial societies from different perspectives, not in a Western and uniform way. Postcolonial feminism criticizes the patriarchal system to which women are subjected in former colonial countries, along with global capitalism, which brings about gender-based labor exploitation, and in this context, it differs from Western feminism. Although Maria Mies was a Western woman, she focused on the problems of "other" women and looked for the source of the problem not only in patriarchy, but also in global capitalism and labor exploitation. The purpose of this study is to look at postcolonial feminism through her feminist approach.

The Federal Future of Medication Abortion
Authors: Simon Michelle S.
Published: June 2024

A majority of Americans believe that there should be a right to abortion, at least in some cases. Yet a vocal and determined minority has its sights set on a complete ban on all abortions everywhere in the United States. In many states, these anti-abortion activists have achieved their goal through new laws and limitations enacted in the wake of the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in Dobbs. Anti-abortion advocates are also challenging the Food and Drug Administration’s regulatory approval of mifepristone, one of the drugs used in medication abortion (also known as medical abortion). The FDA had initially approved mifepristone in 2000. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the FDA also relaxed various dispensing requirements and permitted the medication to be prescribed via telemedicine and delivered by mail. In August 2023, the Fifth Circuit ruled in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA that challenges to mifepristone’s approval were likely time-barred, but that access to the medication should be restricted to those who make in-person visits to a doctor, among other limitations. The case will be appealed to the United States Supreme Court This Article makes three contributions to the national conversation about reproductive rights. First, it evaluates the arguments raised by both sides in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine. Second, it recommends that mifepristone’s defenders focus on standing arguments if they wish to maintain the status quo. Third, the Article predicts that even if mifepristone’s defenders could persuasively argue that the plaintiffs were not entitled to rely on associational standing, there will be future plaintiffs with standing who are willing to take their place. In a future case, the Court might well find that challenges to the FDA’s initial approval of mifepristone are time-barred, but that the agency unlawfully relaxed dispensing and other requirements. It is almost certain that access to mifepristone will be restricted in the foreseeable future.
Inventions and Patents for Treating Thyroid Disease
Authors: Munoz-Robles Brizzia , Haney Brian
Published: June 2024

The thyroid is a bi-lobed gland located at the base of the neck that produces essential hormones for metabolic control in the human body. Affecting nearly fifty-million Americans, thyroid disease has become a ubiquitous cause for symptoms including depression, anxiety, psychosis, and heart disease. Yet, while the healthcare law scholarship is visibly scaling, the research relating to law, innovation, and thyroid disease is completely naked. This Article provides an interdisciplinary introduction to the Thyroid Patent Dataset, an evolving mechanism for tracking progress in treatments for thyroid disease and advances the literature in providing the first consolidated review of patents for a specific disease. In short, this Article explores the confluence of thyroid disease, patent law, and innovation policy to promote knowledge in human health relating to the human thyroid.
Defying the ODDs: How Indiana Schools Should Implement Multisystemic Therapy to Reduce the Rate of Juvenile Incarceration for Children with Oppositional Defiant Disorder
Authors: Steele Madison
Published: June 2024

Under Indiana Code Section 20-35-4-1.5, schools have a duty to educate students with a disability. 1 However, due to ineffective disciplinary measures in schools, students with debilitating behavioral health disorders are not receiving the education they are due. This Note will explore why Indiana should adopt legislation like New York’s ‘Timothy’s Law’ to allow for insurance coverage of Multisystemic Therapy to be implemented in schools as an alternative to other disciplinary actions for students diagnosed with disruptive behavioral disorders, and in particular, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Specifically, this Note will begin with a hypothetical scenario of a young child diagnosed with ODD who did not receive proper treatment of his disorder. This Note will then outline what ODD is, its history, and discuss how it is currently treated. Next, this Note will outline how schools are affected by Oppositional Defiant Disorder and how this directly contributes to juvenile incarceration rates.
This Note will then propose a solution to juvenile incarceration rates of children with ODD by proposing that schools implement multisystemic therapy programs, modeled after a Californian logic model. During this proposal, this Note will discuss what Multisystemic Therapy is and how it would look in a school setting. This Note will further outline the cost of implementing the program and analyze how Indiana legislation currently has passed some legislation that can off-set the cost of the program. Finally, this Note will recommend further legislative changes like New York’s “Timothy Law” that will allow for insurance coverage of the therapy.
Mau Forest Evictions in Kenya: How An International Tribunal’s Affirmation of Indigenous Rights Differs from Federal Indian Law in the United States
Authors: Wallace Trent
Published: June 2024

Many proponents of Indigenous rights in the United States advocate for the domestic legal system to adopt international law standards to strengthen the rights of American Indians and Tribes. This proposition assumes that domestic law is inconsistent with international law standards. In this Note, the author contrasts a recent decision from an international tribunal, the African Court on Human and People’s Rights, with United States law in the areas of tribal recognition, religious rights, and property rights. Importantly, the African Court on Human and People’s Rights applies international law standards, such as human rights treaties and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. As this Note demonstrates by highlighting the differences between the outcomes of the case and United States law, United States law is incompatible with international law standards and provides fewer protections for its Indigenous peoples. This Note identifies the differences through the analysis and proposes solutions for the United States to better align with international Indigenous rights standards.

Electrochemical profiling of formaldehyde-inactivated poliovirus particles demonstrated a relationship between the D-antigen concentration and the intensity of the maximum amplitude currents of the poliovirus samples. The resultant signal was therefore identified as electrochemical oxidation of the surface proteins of the poliovirus. Using registration of electrooxidation of amino acid residues of the capsid proteins, a comparative electrochemical analysis of poliovirus particles inactivated by electrons accelerated with doses of 5 kGy, 10 kGy, 15 kGy, 25 kGy, 30 kGy at room temperature was carried out. An increase in the radiation dose was accompanied by an increase in electrooxidation signals. A significant increase in the signals of electrooxidation of poliovirus capsid proteins was detected upon irradiation at doses of 15–30 kGy. The data obtained suggest that the change in the profile and increase in the electrooxidation signals of poliovirus capsid proteins are associated with an increase in the degree of structural reorganization of surface proteins and insufficient preservation of the D-antigen under these conditions of poliovirus inactivation.
How Academic Training in STEM Helps to Break Gender Barriers after Graduation
Authors: Zamora-Hernandez Israel , Rodriguez-Paz Miguel X. , Gonzalez-Mendivil Jorge A.
Published: June 2024

Recruiting more women into Science, Technology, Engineering and Medicine (STEM) programs has been a subject of study in recent decades. Many factors are involved in having lower numbers of admission of women into STEM programs, among them are the culture of the regions, the design of the programs, and the gender barriers. In recent years, it has been observed that women are increasing their participation in the professional context as more women graduate from STEM programs year after year. However, in some regions, the number of women continues to be very low. In this paper, we show how the educational process within the university can be a factor that can help break the gender barriers in the professional context, allowing women to access strategic positions in industry, and public and private sectors organizations and institutions. As it has been observed in different studies, there are two factors that commonly present and that are part of this work: the lack of job opportunities for women and the lack of professional role models for younger women that could inspire them to study a STEM program. In this study, we present the results of a survey that 80 young female engineers answered regarding their perception of what they have faced after graduation in terms of gender barriers, job searching and promotions and how the years in university and the competencies developed have made a difference.

Published: June 2024

This study aims to see the effect of the TOCFL Reading mobile application on improving Chinese learners’ reading skills. The research was conducted on 20 students in semester two majoring in Information Systems at Private University in Malang. The method in this study was action research in which respondents were asked to work on 25 questions on the TOCFL reading test three times. In carrying out the reading test, respondents were given 50 minutes to complete 25 numbers. Twenty-five reading test numbers are given in the multiple-choice form. In the second reading test, there was an increase of 14.2 points from the average score of the first reading test, and in the third reading test, there was an increase of 10 points from the average value of the second reading test. The results of learning to read using the TOEFL Reading Application can be seen as an increase in students’ reading skills. The limitation of this study is the limited number of respondents, so it is suggested for further research that the number of respondents is larger.

Published: June 2024

Students’ motivation to study for exams and their strategies to achieve academic success attract the interest of many university teachers. This paper investigates the relationship between self-perceived approaches to studying and academic achievement. Quantitative analysis involving undergraduate students at the Faculty of Public Administration, University of Ljubljana was conducted. The revised two-factor study process questionnaire was used to measure students’ approaches to studying, together with quantitative analysis of grade point averages. Self-perceived study approaches were found to predict academic achievement. The empirical results reveal a connection between the surface study approach and higher achievement at exams. These findings are counter to many studies suggesting the opposite.

Authors: Tuo Li
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this project was to analyze the behavioral intention of senior students in art universities in Chengdu to adopt the “Dissertation Management System (DMS)”, and to analyze the mechanism of the factors that have a significant influence on their behavioral willingness. Based on the technology adoption model and integrated technology adoption theory, this study incorporates five potential variables, namely “perceived ease of use”, “perceived usefulness”, “social influence”, “performance expectations”, and “usage attitude”, into the research framework. This project takes college students majoring in art from three universities in Chengdu as the subjects, and uses quantitative analysis method to randomly select 969 valid questionnaires from college students. Through confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling, and other methods, the collected data is statistically analyzed. Therefore, we suggest that on this basis, academic institutions of art majors in universities should optimize and improve the existing paper management system, in order to achieve better learning outcomes and sustained usage intentions.

Authors: Janadbah Ahmad Al , Sharef Ali Al
Published: June 2024

There is no doubt that the communicative approach is one of the most important methodologies in teaching foreign languages to non-native speakers. Therefore, learners are required to use the language as efficiently as a native speaker. This research thoroughly examines the unique attributes of the communicative approach and offers insights into its effective implementation within the classroom setting. The foundation of this study lies in understanding the functional aspects of language and its practical application in real-world contexts. It explores the methodology for teaching communicative Arabic language skills to non-native speakers. Additionally, the research explores the concept of bridging the gap between linguistic competence and communicative competence among non-native Arabic speakers, highlighting the significance of teaching Arabic through this approach. This study not only provides valuable insights into how the communicative approach can be leveraged when teaching Arabic as a second language but also offers recommendations for its refinement and enhancement.
