Authors: Dos Santos Karoline Oliveira , Santana Junior Virgílio , Porto Fernando Fernandes
Published: December 2023

Introdução: Os motoristas de táxi estão expostos a vários fatores de riscos os quais contribuem para o aparecimento ou agravamento das doenças ocupacionais relacionadas ao trabalho. Objetivos: O presente estudo tem como objetivo geral avaliar a prevalência e os fatores associados à presença de dor lombar crônica em taxistas na cidade de Vitória da Conquista/BA. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, de caráter descritivo-exploratório cuja amostra será não probabilística, constituída por todos os taxistas filiados ao sindicato. A fim de responder os objetivos do estudo foi aplicado junto aos participantes da pesquisa um questionário relacionado às características sociodemográficas. Para a avaliação da dor, foi aplicada a Escala Visual Analógica (EVA). Os dados foram descritos em: frequências relativas e absolutas para as variáveis categóricas; e em média e desvio padrão para as contínuas. Os dados serão analisados através do programa SPSS, versão 21.0. Resultados e discussões: Os resultados mostraram uma incidência elevada de dor lombar em motoristas de táxi, podendo estar relacionada ao longo período de tempo (8 horas) na postura sentada, associados ao sobrepeso e sedentarismo encontrados nessa população. Ademais, os resultados evidenciaram que a intensidade da dor está relacionada à faixa etária elevada considerando-se, ainda, que houve uma unanimidade na pesquisa ao observar que a dor lombar prejudica as atividades do cotidiano. Considerações finais: A análise dos dados destaca a necessidade premente de intervenções preventivas e programas de saúde ocupacional direcionados aos taxistas. Estratégias ergonômicas, como a adaptação dos assentos dos veículos e a promoção de pausas regulares, surgem como medidas viáveis para mitigar os impactos da lombalgia.

Descriptions of the Quranic Verses ( A Fundamental Study of the Limited and Comprehensive Descriptions)
Authors: Almohammed Abdulrahman
Published: December 2023

This research aims to define the term descriptions of the Quranic verses, including its origin, the distinctions between names and descriptions, the emergence of limited and comprehensive descriptions of the Quranic verses, and the attribution of these descriptions to individuals, whether it be the Prophet (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him), the Companions, or those who came after them. The study also seeks to explore scholars' perspectives on these descriptions, if any, and to highlight the meaning of limited and comprehensive descriptions of the verses, along with the extent of their relevance. The descriptive approach, based on induction and analysis, was employed. The most significant findings include eleven limited descriptions and four comprehensive descriptions of the Quranic verses.
Emmanuel Kant’s Situation on Metaphysics and Religion Review and Criticism
Authors: Al-Ghamidi Abdul-Qader
Published: December 2023

The current research explores the topics of 'Metaphysics' and 'Religion,' presenting the opinions of the eminent modern philosopher, Emmanuel Kant. Kant, due to his profound influence on Europe in these fields and others, is discussed in the context of Islam and reason. The research adopts a descriptive-analytical approach. It concludes that Kant sought to understand metaphysics through a pure tribal mind, ultimately asserting that this pure mind could substantiate metaphysical concepts, including the existence of Allah. This finding is rooted in the idea that the mind, when delving into what is beyond its comprehension, cannot attain knowledge without relying on reasoning derived from experiences, feelings, revelations, instincts, or other sources. What Kant termed as axioms, necessities, or instincts are identified as components of the tribal mind. Regarding religion, Kant, after extrapolating various religions, arrived at a negative opinion on ecclesiastical and other religions. He advocated for the rejection of religions based on books and miracles, urging people to transition from historical and ecclesiastical faith to a more generalized rational and moral faith he conceived. Kant argued that anyone promoting a religion, whether self-invented or created by another being, is essentially deifying themselves or that particular creature. According to Kant, the legislation, definition of religious meaning, understanding worship, and what pleases Allah must be established through Sharia texts and not within the realm of the mind.
Results of the malacological assemblage from the moat of sultan Suleiman’s türbe at Szigetvár (SW Hungary)
Authors: Sümegi Pál
Published: December 2023

A total of 25 samples were taken from the section of the moat bordering the former türbe of Sultan Suleiman in Szigetvár. Altogether 5 713 identifiable mollusc remains that cover 20 terrestrial snail species were found. Based on the dominance changes of species and palaeoecological groups and the detrended correspondence analysis (DCA), three malacological zones (Türbe Malacological Zone: TMZ) could be separated in the profile of the moat. In the first malacological zone (between 250 and 140 cm) the high number of Eurosiberian species (hygrophilous and cold resistant species, Succinea: amber snail) were found. Their presence and significant amount are in relation with the colder meso- and microclimate of the 17th century. As a result, it can be assumed that the climate of the Little Ice Age (LIA) in the Carpathian Basin changed according to the micro-topography and vegetation cover, and was not uniform. In the second malacological zone (between 140 and 50 cm) the number of cold-tolerant and hygrophilous, Eurosiberian fauna elements decreased, and gradually disappeared from the profile. In parallel, mesophilous and thermophilous, open-vegetation favouring Central and South-eastern European taxa became dominant. So, the moat filled up and a dry habitat with more open vegetation, which was no longer favourable for moistureloving (and shade-loving) species developed. The third malacological zone (from 50 cm towards the surface) indicated a major transformation in the fauna composition. The ratio of mesophilous species decreased drastically. Central and South-eastern European thermophilous species, favouring open vegetation dominated in this level of the profile. Very likely, the upper 40–50 cm part of the profile was filled up at the end of the 17th century, or at the beginning of the 18th century. The changes in the malacofauna composition indicate mesoclimatic and microclimatic alterations and strong human impact. Based on our data, we need to treat climate change and its effects on agriculture in the Carpathian Basin in a more differentiated way for the 17th century, and we cannot and should not extend the negative effects of the North Atlantic to the Carpathian Basin. Since, on the basis of former malacological studies, the mosaic-like nature of the Carpathian Basin was able to compensate for the unfavourable climatic changes of the Little Ice Age.

Authors:   Department of Civil Engineering, Sanketika Vidya Parishad Engineering College, Waheedh Shaik , Madhuri Dr.M ,   Department of Civil Engineering, Sanketika Vidya Parishad Engineering College
Published: December 2023

Metakaolin, a pozzolanic material, has been recognized for its potential to enhance concrete properties, while superplasticizers are commonly used to improve workability and reduce water content in concrete mixtures. The experimental program involves the preparation of concrete mixtures with metakaolin replacements at different levels (by 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% by weight of cement). A commercially available superplasticizer is added to the mixtures (by 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% by weight of cement) to optimize workability. The properties of the resulting concrete, including slump cone test, compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength are assessed. The results show that the incorporation of metakaolin in concrete leads to improved mechanical properties, with significant enhancements observed in compressive and flexural strengths. Moreover, the inclusion of a superplasticizer improves the workability of the concrete mixtures containing metakaolin, ensuring easier placement and compaction. Key Words: Concrete, Metakaolin, Superplasticizers.
Ganjar Pranowo’s Quest: Resisting Islamist Civilizational Populism in Indonesia
Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Bachtiar Hasnan
Published: December 2023

Ganjar Pranowo stands as a pivotal figure within technocratic populism, anticipated to advocate for the people‘s volonté générale and counter the sway of Islamist civilisational populism within Indonesia. The impending 2024 election positions him in a direct contest against Anies Baswedan and Prabowo Subianto, both politicians who garnered support from Islamist populist factions in the 2017 Jakarta gubernatorial and 2019 presidential elections, respectively. Perceptions of Ganjar’s political stance vary, with some viewing him as a populist figure. However, in essence, he embodies the antithesis of populism, distinct from narratives and rhetoric persistently leveraging Islamism for political gain. This article seeks to delve into Ganjar’s political prospects in the upcoming 2024 election, shedding light on his role in confronting rivals and their supporters entrenched in Islamist populism. While widely seen as the most compelling figure for upholding the continuity of a vibrant democracy, his emergence also sparks inquiries into the trajectory of substantive democratic progress within the nation.
Examining the Social Media Addiction Levels of Young Adults: Turkey Example
Authors: YILDIZ Ezgi Pelin , ÇENGEL Metin
Published: December 2023

Social media has often started to be used as the first source for accessing information. Country agenda, general issues, research, new ideas, entertainment, shopping, instant communication and cooperation are the positive contributions of social media. Excessive use of social media in every aspect of life certainly causes harm. It causes serious psychological deformation, especially on adolescents, whom we call the young group. While social media can increase technical skills in adolescents, it can reduce social skills and communication and even some of the negative effects they encounter in this area can create psychological trauma. While the feeling of inadequacy, comparison and competition lead to psychological problems such as self-confidence and social anxiety; the virtualized perception of beauty poses dangers such as eating disorders in young people. Social media use, which has reached the point of addiction, adds a number of negativities to young people’s lives, such as sleep deprivation, decreased time spent with family and loss of interest in real life. In light of all this, the aim of this research is to examining the social media addiction levels of young adults. The sample of the study consists of 201 university students studying in different departments of a state university in Turkey and whose age range is between 18-30 and more age. “Social media addiction scale - adult form” scale developed by Sahin and Yagcı (2017) was used as a data collection tool in the study, with permission from the developer authors. In the study, the relational screening method, one of the quantitative research methods, was used. As a result, a significant relationship was detected between the variables of young people’s gender, age, daily internet and social media usage and their social media addictions. In addition the average social media addiction scores of university students were found to be high.
Secondary Principals’ Perceptions and Practices for Implementing Student Suicide Prevention Programs
Authors: Porter Dawn M. , Nadelson Louis S. , Mullins Samantha H.
Published: December 2023

We explored secondary school principals’ knowledge of suicide prevention programs, their perceptions of the logistical and cultural barriers associated with suicide prevention program adoption, and their justification for adopting (or not adopting) suicide prevention programs in their schools. Principals, as positional leaders of schools, can lead the adoption and support of school-based suicide prevention programs for their students. Using a phenomenology framework, we conducted semi-structured interviews of eight secondary school principals working in public schools in the south-central United States. The principals readily identified the importance of supporting students’ mental health to enhance their learning as a justification for implementing suicide prevention programs for their students. They shared how limited staffing, time, perception of school responsibility for student mental health, and lack of knowledge of available suicide prevention resources were logistical, cultural, and knowledge barriers to adopting suicide prevention programs for students. Our research has profound implications for practice.
AN ANALYSIS OF GREEN TAXATION AND ITS EFFECT ON ECONOMIC GROWTH
Authors: Fayzieva Nargiza Rabimovna
Published: December 2023

This study examined green taxation as one of the tools that governments are utilizing to protect the environment and deter enterprises from having a detrimental influence. In order to lessen the tax burden from growth-oriented elements and contribute to the reduction of pollution and the depletion of natural resources, green taxes also known as environmental, pollution, eco, and carbon taxes are implemented. Though it is primarily seen to apply in industrialized countries, the application of green taxes has not been fully approved in all nations. A few emerging nations use soft policies, such renewable energy subsidies. The policies pertaining to green taxes have encountered numerous obstacles, mostly because of their adverse effects on the economy, which include elevated rates of unemployment. Nonetheless, there are ways to implement the reforms without having a detrimental effect on the environment, as by bolstering them with complementing legislation. Furthermore, in order to develop novel production techniques, cooperation between all parties involved primarily the government, businesses, and environmental organizations is required. The primary industries that degrade the environment are those that manufacture tires, transportation equipment, and other goods. These industries can’t be completely eradicated, but there are strategies that can keep them viable and profitable.

Using mergers and acquisitions to increase stock returns in the banking sector: A case study on the Indonesian stock exchange
Authors: Suidarma I Made , Remses Re Dream JS Jacko
Published: December 2023

This study aims to determine the impact of merger and acquisition (mergers and acquisitions) activity in the banking sector on stock performance. It focuses on banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) that carried out mergers and acquisitions from 2019 to 2021. A 15-day period was observed, consisting of seven days before and seven days after the mergers and acquisitions event and the day of the event itself. The data was analyzed using market study methods and event studies. Stock price data was used to analyze the stock returns during mergers and acquisitions events, and market studies were used to measure the reactions through changes in stock prices after certain events. The results revealed that stock returns and abnormal stock returns increased across all events (E1, E2, and E3). Additionally, cumulative abnormal returns showed a positive effect on events E1 and E3, while event E2 showed a negative effect. Overall, the findings indicated that the market responded positively to mergers and acquisitions activity in the Indonesian banking sector, and the acquired banks performed well after the mergers and acquisitions. The study's results have implications for the internal management of companies, as it suggests that mergers and acquisitions could potentially lead to profit gains in the banking sector. Moreover, investors can use this insight to make more informed decisions when considering investments in the banking sector.
Promjena snježnih uvjeta gorskoga i pretplaninskoga vegetacijskoga pojasa Velebita
Authors: Ugarković Damir , Roksa Karlo , Tikvić Ivica
Published: December 2023

Količina snježne oborine mijenja se po pojedinim razdobljima. Povećanje temperature zraka, kao jedno od obilježja klimatskih promjena, osobito utječe i na snježne uvjete. Cilj je ovoga istraživanja bio analiza trenda broja dana sa snijegom i kretanje maksimalne visine snijega te usporedba srednjega broja dana i maksimalne visine snijega s višegodišnjim prosjekom 1981–2010. i s prijašnjim podacima opisa klime. Istraživanje je provedeno na dvjema meteorološkim postajama (Baške Oštarije i Oltari) u gorskom vegetacijskom pojasu te na meteorološkoj postaji Zavižan u pretplaninskom vegetacijskom pojasu. Analiza je trenda napravljena Mann-Kendallovim testom. T-testom je uspoređen broj dana sa snijegom i maksimalna visina snijega s višegodišnjim prosjekom (referentnim nizom) i podacima iz opisa klime vegetacijskih pojasa 1948–1960. godine. Prosječan broj dana sa snijegom (≥ 1 cm) u gorskom vegetacijskom pojasu na meteorološkoj postaji Baške Oštarije iznosio je 66, na meteorološkoj postaji Oltari iznosio je 91 dan, a u pretplaninskom vegetacijskom pojasu na meteorološkoj postaji Zavižan iznosio je 158 dana. Maksimalna visina snijega u gorskom pojasu prosječno je iznosila 60,09 cm, odnosno 78,25 cm, dok je u pretplaninskom pojasu bila 165,04 cm. Za meteorološku postaju Oltari, u gorskom vegetacijskom pojasu, statistički je značajan trend smanjivanja broja dana sa snijegom ≥ 1 cm. Na Zavižanu, u pretplaninskom vegetacijskom pojasu, ustanovljen je statistički značajan trend smanjivanja broja dana sa snijegom ≥ 1 cm, ≥ 10 cm i ≥ 30 cm visine. Na Zavižanu je recentni prosječan broj dana sa snijegom od ≥ 1 cm do ≥ 30 cm bio značajno niži u odnosu na višegodišnji prosjek 1981–2010. Prema rezultatima pojedinačnoga t-testa broj dana sa snijegom (> 1 cm) i maksimalna visina snijega (cm) značajno su manje na području obaju vegetacijskih pojasa u odnosu na razdoblje 1948–1960. godine.
Photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin drug utilizing novel PVDF/polyaniline/ lanthanum strontium manganate@Ag composites
Authors: BEHERA Swayam Aryam , AMANAT Ali , ACHARY P. Ganga Raju
Published: December 2023

Poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is the first-choice ferroelectric support or membrane material. The lanthanum strontium manganite (LSMO) is a well-known electrode material in the class of the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) materials. A set of four polymer composites PVDF-LSMO-PANI(5.0 wt%) with different amount of silver doping were fabricated with the silver nitrate and reducing agent. The characterization of these four novel PVDF based composites were characterized by the XRD, FTIR, SEM, UV-Visible DRS. The present communication highlights: (I) the effect of PANI in the PVDF-LSMO-PANI (PLP) composites towards the photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin drug. (II) the effect of Ag doping in the Ag-PVDF-LSMO-PANI (Ag-PLP) composites towards the photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin drug. It is observed that the incorporation of PANI in PVDF-LSMO and Ag in PVDF-LSMO-PANI polymer ceramic composites showed enhanced photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin in the irradiation of visible radiation. The plausible separation of photo-generated e- hole pairs (e- and h+) carried on by charge migration kind of mechanism is being studied here to understand the improved photocatalytic activity of Ag-PVDF-LSMO-PANI composites.

Num percurso de treze capítulos e duzentas e vinte páginas, Erick Torrico Villanueva propõe em sua obra (Re)humanizar a Comunicação: rota decolonial, editada pelo Centro Internacional de Estudos Superiores da Comunicação para a América Latina (CIESPAL), uma outra forma de fazer e pensar a comunicação de mãos dadas com a decolonialidade como perspectiva. Torrico retoma o legado utópico das décadas rebeldes com vista a desenvolver uma episteme própria, alternativa(n)ativa, que permita não só romper com a totalidade que o modelo ocidental de Comunicação coloca como parte do modelo moderno/colonial projeto, mas também possibilitar um campo acadêmico que ressignifique e reconheça, a partir da subalternização histórico-territorial dos sujeitos, os fenômenos e processos comunicacionais latino-americanos em busca da reumanização, que, consequentemente, estimule uma autêntica democratização e uma libertação ontológica para a re-existência.

Se trata de una escritura multiautoral que nos aúna como cofundadoras del Centro, docentes e investigadoras que habitamos espacios colectivos como forma de militancia decolonial.
Wiphala
Authors: Baspineiro Adalid Contreras
Published: December 2023

La Wiphala, o tejido/bandera que flamea con el viento, se ha legitimado como símbolo identitario de los pueblos indígenas altoandinos expandido a otros pueblos y territorios, representando la pluralidad como unidad armónica de las diversidades. Socialmente expresa el encuentro en armonía de las sociedades y con la naturaleza. Políticamente representa los movimientos indígenas y populares de descolonización e inclusión. Y en su devenir histórico camina trashumante, renovándose permanentemente en los recorridos de la palabra que construye el Vivir Bien/Buen Vivir o la vida buena en plenitud.

This study is conducted to evaluate aggregate characteristics and potential of carbonates rocks of the Kashala Formation, Babuzai area Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan. Physical and chemical tests were performed to assess aggregate suitability. Laboratory tests reveal Los Angeles Abrasion values of 17%, Flakiness and Elongation Index of 13% and 19.7% respectively, and Clay lumps and friable value of 0.12%. Stripping and Coating value greater than 95%, Specific gravity value (2.7-2.9). The aggregate soundness value was logged at 1.28. These parameter values were evaluated through the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and BS (British Standards) which specify that the Kashala Formation (KF) of the Alpurai group can be the potential source for dimension stone i.e., natural rock material in form of blocks or slabs quarried for commercial purposes, road, and concrete aggregates. The petrographic studies of the selected samples have majorly 70 to 75% of Calcite with an insignificant amount of 20 to 25% dolomite, 5 to 8% quartz along with ores of 1 to 2%. The small number of quartz grains and ore minerals indicate that sample formation is composed of dolomitic marble having a limited amount of deleterious content such as quartz, dolomite, and clays, which suggests that the carbonates have an insignificant threat of ACR (Alkali carbonate reaction) and ASR (Alkali silica reaction). The study indicates that the carbonates of the Babuzai area fall within the standard specification limits and can be used as a source for the indigenous construction industry.

Published: December 2023

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of self-efficacy, knowledge, and rewards on knowledge sharing behavior in Indonesia.
 
Theoretical framework: The theory used in this study consists of independent variables of knowledge self-efficacy, and rewards. While the dependent variable is knowledge sharing behavior.
 
Method: This study uses quantitative research methods. The data collection technique was carried out by distributing questionnaires. The data that has been collected is then analyzed using the Partial Least Square approach.
 
Results and conclusions: The results showed that knowledge self-efficacy has a significant positive influence on knowledge sharing behavior. Expected rewards, which are believed by many to be a driver of individuals to share knowledge, are not proven to be a determinant of knowledge sharing behavior, both in terms of extrinsic and intrinsic rewards.
 
Research implications: This study can contribute to the development of theories on knowledge sharing behavior, regarding how psychological factors such as knowledge self-efficacy and rewards contribute to organizational dynamics.
 
Originality/value: Uncovering important aspects of knowledge sharing behaviour in an industry/organization, especially when viewed from the individual's perspective as an important part that contributes to the achievement of organizational goals.
The Transformation of the Role of the Constitutional Court of Indonesia: From Negative Legislature to Positive Legislature in the Context of Judicial Review Authority (A Study of Decision Number 90/Puu-Xxi/2023)
Authors: Tatawu Guasman , Tawai Adrian
Published: December 2023

Purpose: This research analyzes the shift in the position of the Constitutional Court of Indonesia from the negative legislature to the positive legislature in the context of judicial review authority, particularly based on Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023.
 
Theoretical Framework: This shift becomes the focus of the research because it has substantial implications for the role of the Constitutional Court in the legal system and democratic order of Indonesia.
 
Method: This research employs document analysis and case study methods on Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 to understand the context, considerations, and implications of the shift in the position of the Constitutional Court.
 
Results: The research findings indicate that the Constitutional Court, in performing its duties as a Negative Legislature, has shifted towards becoming a Positive Legislature, a role traditionally associated with the Executive and Legislative branches. In this study, the researcher delves into whether the change in the role of the Constitutional Court aligns with the constitutional spirit and goals of the Indonesian state, as well as its impact on the legal system and democratic order. The research also explores the implications of this shift on the relationship between the executive, legislative, and judicial powers and how the Constitutional Court maintains a balance between its positive legislative role and the principles of judicial independence.
 
Conclusions: By gaining a profound understanding of the shift in the position of the Constitutional Court towards a positive legislature, this research aims to contribute to formulating policy recommendations for the Constitutional Court and the government. These recommendations are intended to ensure the sustainability of democracy, the rule of law, and the protection of human rights in Indonesia.
Indonesia Readiness to Face Social Engineering Attacks with Deepfake Technology
Authors: Noval Sayid Muhammad Rifki
Published: December 2023

Theoretical Framework: In the era of advanced digitalization, concerns about false information and social engineering attacks are currently the main concerns in the field of information security. Information security relies on users' recognition and awareness of the risks associated with social engineering attacks. Identity-protective cognition theory , Information security, social engineering attacks, regulations in Indonesia are used as the underlying theories.
 
Purpose: This research aims to analyze Indonesia’s preparedness to face social engineering attacks with deepfake technology.
 
Method: The research method used in this research is a qualitative method. Activities in data analysis are data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing or verification.
 
Result: Indonesia already has legal regulations that can take action against perpetrators who have abused deepfakes and inflicted losses on their victims, especially if they contain elements of decency.
 
Conclusion: Law enforcement in Indonesia has actually been regulated in the Criminal Code, the Pornography Law, and the Electronic Information and Transaction Law. However, in order to complement its protection and law enforcement, Indonesia can consider the regulations that are being proposed by the United States by specifically regulating deepfakes and also consider media companies to apply content moderation to deepfake material on its platform.

Authors: Abucewicz Monika
Published: December 2023

The key aim of this article is a presentation of barriers in implementing of processes of deinstitutionalization of the substitute care system, on the basis of opinions of local government officials and representatives of social organizations. The opinions were gathered in the Focus Group Interviews. This research was proceeded within the scope of a project: „The Pilot Study And Implementation Of Mechanisms And Planes Of Deinstitutionalization Of Social Services.” Additionally, obstacles in the deinstitutionalization activities of the communities in the substitute care area were generally put forward – insofar as it was possible, because of a limited framework of this paper. These activities were realized in the framework of local plans of deinstitutionalization of social services. Plans were prepared by local governments, which have been taking part in the project indicated above.This article circumscribes barriers in implementing of deinstitutionalization of the substitute care system, because in opinions of respondents and makers a success of deinstitutionalization depends on their overcoming. Knowledge about these barriers – both on the basis of opinions and experiences gaining in the course of preparing and implementing local plans - can provide assistance for the others local governments in our country for preparing more effective local plans of deinstitutionalization of social services in the area of substitute care system. And in the broader context - for the realization of one of the project aim, namely to working out of the framework, nationwide guidelines in the range of working out and implementing local plans of deinstitutionalization, among others in the area of subsitute care system. The guidelines will have a form of practical textbook including principles of leading local plans of deinstitutionalization, among others good practices in this extent.

Martial arts tourism - a new look (from the perspective of the organizer of thirty one summer camps)
Authors: Cynarski Wojciech
Published: December 2023

Problem: The issue concerns summer camps that have been organized by one association for many years. Research questions are: 1) What is this type of tourism? 2) What is the main attraction that attracts participants? 3) How has the participation in these summer training camps changed over the years? Method: The participant observation is the basic qualitative method used here.. The issue also concerns participation in the international martial arts environment and tourism implemented in this environment, whether they are visitors or organisers. To conduct this study, we analysed Waga i Miecz, a local monthly magazine published between 1993 and 2022, and the author's own trips related to martial arts tourism from 1989 to 2020. Results: There was a stabilization when it comes to walking and the choosing the place of the camp. Training intensity reduced and competitive workouts transitioned to recreational activities.. Resignation from sports competition decreased the number of participants (by about 50-60%). The training is conducted by the same, increasingly older master-teachers. Conclusions: Changing the nature of the camp to a recreational one resulted in the participation of whole families. Nevertheless, the champions are still the main attraction. What also counts is the tourist attractiveness of the destination and social considerations – interpersonal relations in the group of participants.

Authors: Osmólska Iwona , Smolarczyk Rajmund
Published: December 2023

Providing safe and healthy working conditions is the responsibility of every employer, but without additional forms of support, this may not be enough to prevent and stop accidents at work. The employer should continually implement measures to improve safety and continually look after the health and lives of his employees. One such measure may be to implement the concept of corporate social responsibility in the company's strategy, taking into account OSH regulations. It is a programme to raise the awareness and knowledge of workers about hazards and occupational risks associated with their work and how to effectively protect themselves against their effects. The aim of the article is to present the concept of corporate social responsibility in terms of safe and healthy working conditions. At the same time, the article is an attempt to answer the question - based on the results of surveys that are an individual review - what is the level of society's knowledge about CSR and to estimate the relationship between corporate social responsibility and occupational safety and health in the workplaces of students of the Pomeranian University in Słupsk.
