Authors: Oksana  , Hermansah  , Agustian  , Syafrimen Yasin
Published: November 2024

Sulfur (S) is an essential nutrient for plant growth, crucial for protein synthesis, enzyme function, and chlorophyll production. In acidic tropical soils, sulfur dynamics are influenced by various factors, particularly soil acidity, organic matter content, and microbial activity. This review explores the sources, transformation, availability, and cycling of Sulfur in acidic tropical soils, emphasizing its role in agriculture and ecosystem sustainability, focusing on the sources, transformation, and factors affecting sulfur availability. The weathering of minerals, especially from sulfate and sulfide minerals, contributes to the long-term supply of Sulfur in soil ecosystems. Microbial activity and soil temperature play key roles in the mineralization process of Sulfur. Plants' sulfate absorption is affected by soil conditions, including pH, texture, and organic matter content. Data indicate that acidic conditions can inhibit microbial activity, reducing sulfur availability. These findings suggest that the importance of managing sulfur availability to enhance agricultural yields in acidic tropical soils and the potential for developing microbe-based fertilizers to improve nutrient absorption efficiency by plants

Проблема преступности в творчестве польских и грузинских прозаиков II половины XIX века (Генрик Сенкевич и Эгнате Ниношвили)
Authors: Occheli Vera
Published: November 2024

This paper discusses the theme of crime as depicted in the works of Polish literary classic Henryk Sienkiewicz and the prominent representative of Georgian critical realism in the late 19th century, Egnate Ninoshvili. The name Ninoshvili is introduced for the first time into the study of Polish–Georgian literary relations. According to the author, several of Ninoshvili’s short stories on peasant life (“Simona”, “The Scribe Mose”, and “The Knight of Our Country”) were written under the ideological and thematic influence of Henryk Sienkiewicz’s short story „Charcoal Sketches” („Szkice węglem”). The stylistic analysis of the works by these Georgian and Polish writers supports the author’s hypothesis regarding this influence. At the same time, the study highlights the artistic originality of Ninoshvili’s stories, particularly in their depiction of national traditions, the Georgian national mentality, and the author’s unique creative perspective.
Społeczeństwo Abchazji w rosyjskiej literaturze historycznej XIX wieku na przykładzie dzieła Mikołaja Dubrowina "Historia wojny i władania Rosjan na Kaukazie"
Authors: Rutkowski Marek
Published: November 2024

This article focuses on the depiction of Abkhazia and its society in the nineteenth-century work of Russian historiographer Nikolai Dubrovin, titled History of the War and Rule of the Russians in the Caucasus. In the second part of its first volume, published in 1871, the author devotes considerable attention to this country. As it turns out, the knowledge about Abkhazia presented by Dubrovin is a remarkable example of substantial sophistication, based on a reliable indication of basic facts, often enriched with supplementary, sometimes anecdotal information. The overall depiction of Abkhazia and its society highlights the presence of ancient, yet dynamic, social structures that are slowly transforming over time. Although Dubrovin does not make this statement explicitly, readers can infer that an economically almost autarchic country with a quasi-feudal social structure and a weak central authority was, over time-and partly due to the changing political situation in the Caucasus and the growth and consolidation of Russian influence-becoming more susceptible to the challenges of nineteenth-century modernity.

Esej, czyli obelga dla współczesnego naukowca (?)
Authors: Krakowiak Małgorzata
Published: November 2024

This article aims to present two complementary issues related to the contemporary perception and understanding of the essay. The first part explores various definitions of the term “essay.” As a distinct form of discourse and a separate literary genre, the essay has been the subject of extensive literature (relevant to both general literary studies and Polish studies). Despite sustained scholarly interest over a long period, there has been a noticeable decline in linguistic precision among those frequently using the term “essay” in modern Polish language. As a result, the word has become either meaningless (as nearly any text is labeled this way) or is associated with lower-quality, non-scholarly writing. The second issue addresses the current variations of essays being written today. It is easy to observe tendencies that blur the line between essays, literary columns, or fragments of autobiographical writing. These variations reflect a broader trend (or fashion) within contemporary humanistic discourse.
Halal Medical Tourism and Reproductive Care and Services: An Overview of Malaysian Marketplace
Authors: A. Jamal Az Zahara , Bin Jamaludin Mohammad Aizat
Published: November 2024

Medical Tourism is one of the most significant industries in a country. It attracts medical tourists due to the successful and effective medical technologies as well as cost-effective healthcare system of a given country. However, a significant need lies in channelling medical facilities to “Halal” or “Sharia-complaint” medical care and services especially when we speak about reproductive care and services (RCS), a sensitive and private aspect in a Muslim’s life since a Muslim’s life should be regulated on Islamic guidelines. Hence, the need of Halal Medical Tourism (HMT) is echoed and efforts are being made for its establishment and realization. This study focuses on providing an overview of Halal Medical Tourism (HMT) constituents and HMT’s role in rendering Halal or Sharia-complaint Reproductive Care and Services (RCS). This paper utilizes qualitative analysis in collecting the contents related to Halal medical tourism studies. The contents have been gathered based on library research. The contents are analyzed further, and the results show that Halal Medical Tourism is an integral aspect covering tangible (Halalan Tayyiban) elements of medicine from medical ingredients (pharmaceuticals), and medical devices to intangible (Sharia-compliant) aspects related to hospital (non-medical) services and facilities. This paper proposes that the processes of a certain medical care or service must also be directed for Halal or Sharia-compliance (i.e. shariah permitted processes and treatment) to build a robust structure of Halal Medical Tourism. RCS, if made sharia-compliant, can be one significant medical domain for the improvement and fast-growth of Halal Medical Tourism in Malaysia.
Impact of education, poverty, and demographic background on maternal mortality, fertility, and family planning in Pakistan
Authors: Lashari Talib H.
Published: November 2024

In recent decades, maternal mortality has significantly reduced on a global scale. However, persistent inequities have undermined these advances in middle- and low-income countries. Therefore, there has been a shift toward more inclusive approaches, such as human capital formation. This perspective article analyzes maternal mortality, fertility, and family planning outcomes in Pakistan, comparing them with educational attainment, socioeconomic status, and demographics. Pakistan’s maternal mortality rate among those with a rural background is 21% higher than those with an urban background in the country. Historically, the country’s total fertility rate (TFR) has been gradually declining, from 4.9 in 1990 – 1991 to 4.1 in 2006 – 2007, to 3.8 in 2012 – 2013, and to 3.6 in 2017 – 2018. However, there are stark disparities in TFR based on demographic background, education, and poverty. Meanwhile, the contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) has remained stagnant for the past two decades, largely due to inadequate initiatives in poverty reduction, education, and rural development. Pakistan has committed to reducing maternal mortality and fertility and increasing CPR under the International Conference on Population Development, Family Planning 2030, and the recommendations of Pakistan’s Council of Common Interest. Along with these goals, infrastructure development, in (interprovincial roads connecting rural and urban areas and alternative energy initiatives) presents promising prospects for economic growth, poverty reduction, and increased employment opportunities. The paper concludes that health service delivery measures cannot sustain improvements in maternal health, fertility, and family planning indicators alone. Rather, a multipronged strategy focused on poverty reduction, education, and reductions in rural–urban disparities is essential for sustained progress.
Neurobiological understanding of gaming disorder: A narrative review
Authors: Rho Mi Jung
Published: November 2024

Gaming disorder (GD) is a mental disorder characterized by impaired control over gaming behaviors and the continuation of gaming despite negative consequences, resulting in functional impairments in important areas of life. Based on a growing body of scientific evidence demonstrating its neurobiological similarities to substance use disorders, GD is listed in the latest 5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases as a behavioral addiction. Therefore, this review aims to understand the neurobiological underpinnings of GD by reviewing current literature on structural and functional changes in the brain. It is suggested that prolonged and excessive gaming may lead to alterations in the structure or function of the brain reward circuit and fronto-striatal circuit, affecting both reward processing and cognitive control. Changes in brain areas involved in executive function have been observed, indicating that GD is associated with reduced response inhibition and impaired decision-making. Furthermore, brain regions associated with craving exhibit heightened activity in response to gaming stimuli. This review highlights the significance of conducting further research to uncover the underlying mechanisms of GD and to develop effective interventions for its prevention and treatment.

Published: November 2024

Interpersonal relationships are of great significance to individuals, as positive relationships contribute to enhanced life satisfaction and mental health. To develop an effective scale for assessing interpersonal relationships, the Interpersonal Relationship Rating Scale was developed, and its reliability and validity were examined in a Chinese population. The initial items for the scale were formed through a literature search, clinical investigation, and expert interviews. A total of 461 valid responses were collected through the Questionnaire Star platform for exploratory factor analysis, leading to the extraction and naming of common factors. In addition, an offline questionnaire survey was conducted at a secondary vocational school in Nanjing, yielding 882 valid responses. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed using Mplus 8.0 to assess the model fit. The comprehensive evaluation of the scale confirmed its reliability and validity. The Interpersonal Relationship Rating Scale was ultimately divided into four dimensions. Validated factor analyses indicated a well-fitted model (χ²/df = 7.59, Comparative Fit Index = 0.860, Tucker–Lewis Index = 0.838, and root mean square error of approximation = 0.086). The scale demonstrated good internal consistency reliability, with an alpha coefficient of 0.903 and dimension-specific coefficients ranging from 0.674 to 0.909. Test–retest reliability for the total scale was 0.401, and for the dimensions, it ranged from 0.269 to 0.381 (P < 0.01). The scale also exhibited strong construct validity, criterion-related validity, and discriminant validity (P < 0.01). Overall, the Interpersonal Relationship Rating Scale is a reliable and valid tool for assessing interpersonal relationships in the Chinese population.
Assembling Differences
Authors: Mouriès Thomas
Published: November 2024

In the Peruvian Amazon’s lower Marañón basin, the prospect of an indigenous assembly appears unlikely: how can previously semi-nomadic groups, historically immersed in recurrent warfare, come together in a cohesive political entity? This transformation is undoubtedly a product of historical processes, greatly influenced by Western political structures and legal frameworks. However, does this shift erase the traditional conflicts among Amazonian groups? The criteria defining indigenous identity and collective action still bear traces of past hostilities, albeit reshaped by indigenous political dynamics. This article draws from the ethnography of a federation assembly to delve into the nuances between fragmentation and unity. Through the lens of assembly issues, it seeks to uncover both the ruptures and continuities defining contemporary indigenous communities.

Published: November 2024

Education plays a crucial role in shaping Malaysia's future development. However, access to higher education remains discriminatory, particularly for students from lower-income families, individuals with disabilities, and indigenous backgrounds, as they face challenges due to escalating living costs. The Malaysian government has initiated various education financial aid programmes to address this issue, encompassing scholarships, loans, and one-off aid. This initiative aligns with the broader goal of promoting inclusivity and ensuring all aspiring students have equal access to pursue their educational dreams. However, in many cases, some students apply for educational financial aid only to face rejection due to unmet requirements. Therefore, this paper proposes a responsive web-based system, namely EduFinBuddy, that will be able to identify the most suitable education financial aid based on student input. We begin the development process by extracting data from the targeted websites using a web scraping approach and storing it in a database. Then, we build the recommendation component using the cosine similarity algorithm to ensure accuracy based on the student's input. Thus, the student will get a list of educational financial aids according to their preference. The result shows that all the functionalities work well and can be implemented in any educational system of financial assistance to allow easier access to information for tertiary-level students in Malaysia. This initiative aligns with the broader goal of promoting inclusivity and ensuring all aspiring students have equal access to pursue their educational dreams.

Published: November 2024

The advent of technology and the COVID-19 pandemic has altered the higher education landscape by highlighting online education platforms, thus bringing transformation to the teaching and learning process. Drawing from the dynamic capability theory, this study examines whether institutional, technology and human resources are determinants for the performance of Open and Distance Learning (ODL) education in higher learning institutions (HEIs) in Malaysia. A quantitative approach was employed in this study, specifically utilising a structured questionnaire to collect data from a sample of 217 educators in Malaysian public and private HEIs. Data were analysed using the SmartPLS software. The empirical results reveal that institutional and technology resources significantly influence the performance of ODL in the HEIs. These results suggest that the ODL practices could be improved with dynamic resources supported by the HEIs. A sustainable ODL implementation would increase access to academic advancement for educators and students. Our findings implicate sustainable education for HEIs as they highlight the importance of policies and standards, procedures, modern infrastructure, information systems and management support, in supporting ODL in the long run.

Authors: Cariño Maria Ophelia , Bailey Rhea R.
Published: November 2024

Dyslexia as a learning disability can remain unnoticed and untreated for many students who have this condition. This is a manifestation of how dyslexia is relatively unknown and unaddressed among teachers. Thus, intervention remains inadequate. This research aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes towards intervention practices on dyslexia among public grade school teachers in Los Baños, Philippines. Data was gathered through surveys, interviews and observations. A complete enumeration of thirty-two mathematics and language grade school teachers showed limited or absence of knowledge about dyslexia, they manifested more positive than negative attitudes, and intervention was observed to be implemented by the teacher-respondents. Further, intervention practices were found to have no significant relationship with knowledge but had a positive relationship with attitudes. This study challenges educational institutions, government agencies, researchers, families, and parents to increase knowledge and foster more positive attitudes towards tolerance and acceptance for more successful intervention practices and programs for students with dyslexia. The study has implications on early intervention and capacitating public school teachers of dyslexic students.

A pedagógiai-szakmai szolgáltató, támogató rendszer alakulása a kilencvenes évek végétől
Authors: Annási Ferenc
Published: November 2024

Az óvodák, iskolák szakmai munkáját támogató pedagógiai-szakmai szolgáltatások immáron közel két évtizede a közoktatási rendszer szerves részeként vannak jelen. E szféra törvényi szintű szabályozására ugyanakkor első ízben csupán 1993-ban került sor. Az akkori és a jelenleg is érvényben lévő szabályozás a megyei és a fővárosi önkormányzatok kötelezően ellátandó feladatai egyikeként nevesíti ezen szolgáltatásokról való gondoskodást. Ezen feladatellátási kötelezettségüknek az önkormányzatok különböző módon tehetnek eleget pl. saját intézmény fenntartásával, más fenntartóval kötött megállapodás keretében vagy egyéb formában tehetik hozzáférhetővé a törvény által meghatározott szolgáltatásokat. Az elmúlt pár évben megfigyelhető folyamat azt jelzi, hogy mind e szféra, mind pedig az általa nyújtott szolgáltatások köre folyamatos differenciálódáson megy keresztül. Az e területen is megjelenő piaci viszonyok a pedagógiai-szakmai szolgáltató szféra (önkormányzati és magán) valamennyi szereplőjét alkalmazkodásra és ezen keresztül szolgáltatásaik folyamatos fejlesztésére késztetik. Jelen tanulmány betekintést próbál nyújtani ezen egyre kiterjedtebb szféra világába.

A magyar pedagógusképzés története a 20. század utolsó évtizedeiben
Authors: Kelemen Elemér
Published: November 2024

A magyar pedagógusképzés történeti hagyományai-szoros kapcsolata a közoktatással és afejlődés folyamatos megújulásra késztető belső dinamikája - kedvező feltételeket teremtettek az 1980-as évek reformtörekvései számára. A pedagógusképzés megújítására irányuló törekvések fontos állomásai voltak a különböző szakfolyóiratokban zajló viták, különösképpen a Pedagógiai Szemle 1983. évi tartalmas vitafóruma, amely számos, máig érvényes és ma is aktuális következtetésre jutott, például az egységes tanárképzés tekintetében. Új fejezetet jelentettek az évtized második felében az 1985-ös oktatási törvény ösztönző hatására kibontakozó, a képzés több ágát is érintő kísérletek.
Lépésről lépésre a jövő pedagógusaival
Authors: Juhász Orchidea
Published: November 2024

A hátrányos helyzetű gyermekek oktatási integrációja napjaink egyik központi témája. Hatékony pedagógiai programokkal dolgozó óvodák és iskolák elhivatott pedagógusai törekszenek arra, hogy minőségi oktatással megszüntessék a szegregációt. A minőségi közoktatáshoz „minőségi" pedagógusokra van szükség. Ehhez kíván hozzájárulni a Miskolci Egyetem Bölcsészettudományi Karának tanárképzése. Az alábbiakban néhány - elsősorban a hátrányos helyzetű gyermekek oktatásával kapcsolatos - gyakorlatorientált tárgyunkat mutatjuk be.

Quantifying the Pulmonary Risks of Volcanic Gas Inhalation: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Putri Septriana , Yessy Susanty Sabri
Published: November 2024

Background: Volcanic eruptions release a complex mixture of gases and particulate matter, posing significant respiratory health risks. This meta-analysis aims to quantify the association between volcanic gas inhalation and adverse pulmonary effects.
Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science was conducted for studies published between 2013 and 2024 investigating the respiratory effects of volcanic gas exposure. Studies reporting quantitative data on lung function, respiratory symptoms, or disease prevalence were included. Random-effect models were used to pool effect estimates, and heterogeneity was assessed using the I² statistic.
Results: Six studies (n = 2,215 participants) met the inclusion criteria. Volcanic gas exposure was associated with a significant decrease in FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 second) (standardized mean difference [SMD] = -0.55, 95% CI: -0.67 to -0.42, I² = 51%), increased prevalence of asthma (odds ratio [OR] = 3.31, 95% CI: 1.84 to 5.96, I² = 76%), and chronic bronchitis (OR = 2.86, 95% CI: 1.97 to 4.15, I² =0%). Subgroup analysis revealed a stronger association between gas exposure and respiratory effects in children and individuals with pre-existing lung conditions.
Conclusion: This meta-analysis provides compelling evidence that volcanic gas inhalation is detrimental to respiratory health. Public health interventions should prioritize vulnerable populations during and after volcanic eruptions.

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are vital to the Indonesian economy, especially in rural areas like Dharmasraya. This community service project aimed to empower MSMEs by building their entrepreneurial capacity through publicly funded training programs. Using a participatory action research approach, a needs assessment was conducted with 100 MSME owners in Dharmasraya to identify challenges and training needs. Based on the findings, workshops and mentoring sessions were designed and delivered, focusing on financial literacy, marketing strategies, digital literacy, and business plan development. The training program significantly improved participants' understanding of key business concepts, including financial management, marketing, and digital tools. Participants also showed increased confidence in managing and growing their businesses. The program fostered a sense of community and peer learning among MSME owners. In conclusion, publicly funded training programs are crucial for building entrepreneurial capacity and empowering MSMEs in Dharmasraya. This initiative highlights the effectiveness of participatory approaches in addressing community needs and fostering sustainable economic development.
An Empirical Investigation of the Twin Deficit Problem and the Feldstein-Horeka Hypothesis: A Case Study of Jordan
Authors: Al-Sawaie Khaled Mohammed
Published: November 2024

This study explores the correlation between budget deficits and current account deficits, as stated by the twin deficit hypothesis, in the specific setting of Jordan’s economy. The Keynesian view proposes that budget deficits lead to current account deficits, whereas the Ricardian equivalence theory disputes this idea. Additionally, the research examines the Feldstein-Horioka hypothesis from 1980 about the connection between saving and investment. By using cointegration analysis, this study demonstrates a lasting connection between budget deficits and current account deficits, providing evidence for the Keynesian perspective. The findings support the twin deficit theory’s applicability to Jordan’s economic situation and strengthen the Keynesian view on the relationship between the current account, budget deficit, and investment. Moreover, the existence of a negative correlation coefficient of less than 1 linking investment and saving supports the Feldstein-Horioka hypothesis, pointing to Jordan’s inclusion in international capital markets.
