CHALLENGES FACING ONLINE TEACHING AND LEARNING IN AFRICAN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS: EMPIRICAL REVIEW
Authors: Yidana Peter , Asapeo Alfred , Laar Sunday Kunyur , Chibelitu Linda, W.,
Published: September 2023

Increasing demand for higher education coupled with globalization has led to the adoption of online teaching and learning to cope with the growing number of students. Even though online teaching and learning have advantages, some challenges bedevil its smooth implementation. The purpose of this article was to present a literature review of the challenges that higher education institutions in Africa face concerning online teaching and learning. The method that was employed in the review was the scoping review method. Empirical studies from 25 African countries published between 2000 and 2023 were assembled and reviewed. In all, 65 studies were reviewed in terms of three themes namely: 1) level of readiness/preparedness for online teaching and learning 2) access and participation in online teaching and learning, and 3) effectiveness of online teaching and learning. The results suggest that most of the challenges confronting online teaching and learning in African higher education institutions include inadequate preparation/readiness to adopt an online mode of teaching and learning. Issues of lack of readiness include inadequate ICT infrastructure, low levels of ICT literacy among students and teachers, weak pedagogical skills of teachers, and weak institutional policy framework to drive online teaching and learning. The results further revealed that access and participation of students in online teaching and learning in most parts of Africa are poor due to poor internet connectivity, lack of electricity, lack of access devices such as laptops and smartphones as well as higher cost of data. The review additionally revealed issues of effectiveness such as limited collaboration and interaction among participants in the e-teaching and learning, inability to engage in practical work such as laboratory practical and some mathematical computations. Other issues discovered include poor pedagogical skills of teachers. These challenges must be addressed to enable African higher education institutions catch up with the rest of the world in the adoption and utilization of ICT in teaching and learning.

DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL CAPITAL SCALE FOR ADOLESCENT, VALIDITY, AND RELIABILITY STUDY FOR TURKISH POPULATION
Authors: Ardahan Faik
Published: September 2023

Aim: In recent years, the relationship between social capital (SC) and issues that concern people and society, especially health, has been a matter of curiosity. Most of the studies on social capital in the literature are for adults, and there is no wide-scale for adolescents. This study aimed to develop the Social Capital Scale for Adolescent. The child and adolescents’ ecological environment and its interaction, structure, and social networks are important factors that affect the child and adolescents’ biopsychosocial well-being. SC gives ecological environments level. The concept of SC is handled in different ways in terms of its plane (micro, mezzo, and macro), form (horizontal and vertical), intensity (strong and weak), and quality (binding, unifying, and bridging). Methods: This study is a methodological type of research. Participants were adolescents aged 13-19 who could be reached online, volunteered to participate in the study. A non-probability sampling method was used. Results: A total of 5946 adolescents participated in the study. Explanatory factor analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were applied to the dataset. As a result of EFA, the Social Capital Scale for Adolescents (SCS-A), consisting of 75 items and 17 factors, was obtained. The Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.936, and the variance explained by the ranking was 66,3%. CFA satisfactory fit results were obtained in all fit indices. Conclusion: The SCS-A is valid, reliable, and sufficient for the Turkish population. This scale, which was created by considering all the elements of the concept of social capital, is thought that can be used in studies in the fields of social and health sciences.

Authors: Campos Leandra Cristina Benetti , Campos Fabio Angioluci Diniz , Franchini Emerson , Ribeiro Anna Gabriela Silva Vilela , Pellegrinotti Idico Luiz , Verlengia Rozangela
Published: September 2023

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of eight weeks of traditional physical training (TPT) and military-specific physical training (MSPT) on the physical and operational performance of infantry cadets of the Brazilian Air Force (BAF). This study consisted of 27 male cadets (22.8±1.6 years, 76.0±9.2 kg, 1.77±0.05 m) stratified according to initial levels of physical fitness and randomly allocated in TPT (n= 13) or MSPT (n= 14) groups. The TPT group performed the basic military physical training provided for the military and the MSPT group conducted specific operational training. The variables were analyzed through two evaluations at the beginning and end of the eight-week training protocol. Anthropometric evaluations, physical fitness, and military operational physical tests were performed. Internal training load was determined through session rating of perceived exertion. Two-way (group and time) analysis of variance was used to compare groups and periods of training. Bonferroni test was used as a post-hoc when necessary. The effect sizes were presented by partial eta squared (ηp²) and Cohen dz. No group and time interaction was found for any variable. Regarding the time effect, there was a decrease in both groups in the anthropometric variables. The variables that increased over time for both groups were push-up and sit-up repetitions in 1 min, aerobic power, and squat jump height, whereas time in the military operational physical test decreased. Regarding the internal training load, no interaction between the group and period was observed. Therefore, both TPT and MSPT groups were effective in improving the physical and operational performance of military personnel after eight weeks of training.

THE VIOLENT REALITY IN THE FIELD OF SPECIAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING [SET]: THE CASE OF DELINQUENT BEHAVIOURS
Authors: Korea Maria Drossinou
Published: September 2023

The paper discusses delinquent behaviours on the basis of violent reality after covid lockdown, in the field of special education and training [SET] using the pedagogical principles of Targeted, Individual Structured Integration Interventions of Special Education and Training (TISIPIf [SET]). The psychodynamic pedagogical approach refers to the violence of emotions that overwhelm the thought when the person experiences "intense mental pain". Violence can be the result of an amount of stimulation that the person is unable to process mentally. This violent reality is often dormant and obscured by superficial reflections of family and school cultures. Thus, in the analysis of delinquent behaviours we can repeatedly be misled by the seemingly non-dysfunctional of the person when he encounters emotional difficulties. As psychodynamic theorists claim, prenatal experiences that were never recorded intellectually serve as a model for overwhelming, incomprehensible, and irrecoverable experiences. These can be condensed into a repressed and blind unconscious. The field of special education is often called upon to deal with people who have experienced such an unprecedented emotional experience and exhibit violent delinquent behaviours. Some of the people who resort to special educational services manifest violent emotional discharges, either outwardly through physical violence, riveting perversions, obsessions and addictions, or through abusive contacts with the body and others. The field of special education through education tries to activate the perceptual mind in order for people with delinquent behaviours to become aware of an unacceptable violent emotional reality. The informal pedagogical recordings with heteroobservations illustrate the difficulty of special pedagogists to understand the violent emotions behind the child and juvenile delinquency. It is noted that special educators choose to remain "emotionally uninvolved" in front of this painful mental reality expressed in emotional difficulties and delinquent behaviours.

Authors: Muñoz Luis Héctor García , Martínez Ruth de la Peña , Ayala José Dolores Ruíz , Barragán Antonio de Santiago
Published: September 2023

The study of lighting in learning environments is not a new topic and is not only present in recent research. This work summarizes the current status of the lighting quality at the Instituto Tecnológico de La Laguna, according to the work realized by an external company to the Instituto, in addition to providing some recommendations as claimed by the current legislation, along with the regulations of the accreditation organisms. The results were surprising since the illumination of classrooms seemed adequate in most cases; however, after analyzing said results, it was proven that they were not as adequate as expected. Our main recommendation, predictably, is to increase the quality of illumination to acceptable parameters, considering the opinion of experts in the areas involved such as the cost-benefit ratio to take the illumination to a first level.

Language Assimilation and Linguistic Diversity in India: Exploring the Role of Geography and Migration
Authors: Vasanathan R. , Neelakandan S. , Ravindran R. , Sundari P. Shanmuga
Published: September 2023

Indian language assimilation, linguistic variety, geographical location, and population movement all have complex interrelationships with one another. The importance of investigating how these elements influence linguistic and cultural identities is explored. The investigation of language contact, linguistic variation, geographical context, and migratory patterns in India is crucial. The research highlights the role of geography in shaping language dynamics, as migration patterns impact linguistic assimilation in different regions of the country. It examines how migration to urban areas has contributed to the spread of English as a common language among diverse linguistic communities. A more accepting and peaceful society can be fostered by the application of this information in the form of policy, education, and social integration initiatives. Navigating a complex linguistic landscape, obtaining trustworthy data from diverse communities, and untangling the impact of geography and migration from multifaceted assimilation processes while maintaining cultural sensitivity are all obstacles to the study of language assimilation and linguistic diversity in India. The paper provides a complete method called Geo-Linguistic Computational Mapping Analysis (G-LCMA), which integrates spatial analysis, migration dynamics, and sociolinguistic aspects. The research intends to model potential scenarios of language absorption through computational simulation analysis. Policymakers and educators can benefit from this method since it provides information about the outcomes of linguistic encounters. There are repercussions for the future of language, culture, and social cohesion that stem from this study. This research helps India's linguistic landscape become more peaceful and welcoming by separating the intricate relationship between language, geography, and migration.
Role of Social Ties in Long-Term Settlement of Highly Skilled Migrants in Finland
Authors: Kotavaara Niina , Prokkola Eeva-Kaisa
Published: September 2023

Highly skilled migrants are often assumed to move from place to place at low thresholds, following the best job offers and easily integrating into new host societies. This study problematizes these as-assumptions and provides empirically based knowledge on the integration of highly skilled migrants working in the ICT sector in Finland, with a particular focus on social relations and plans for long-term or permanent settlement. The study investigates migrants’ social relations in their work environment and free time, taking into account the role of migrant communities as well as families and relatives in Finland and abroad. Finland forms an interesting research context because of its linguistic isolation, remoteness and increasing interest in attracting highly skilled migrants. The investigation adds evidence on the central role of social ties in migration decisions and long-term settlement of highly skilled migrants.
Crossroads of Eastern Europe and the Arctic North – Artistic Personas and Creative Processes of Border-Crossing Artists
Authors: Griniuk Marija
Published: September 2023

This essay explores the development of an artistic persona and choices within the creative processes of border-crossing artists. Similar to the act of border crossing, the transcorporeal experience contains attempts to enter the unity of the body of the artist and the artwork with the socio-politics of the new site for artistic expression. In the action of border-crossing, artistic practice enters the holistic approach as the human, functioning in the new and unfamiliar society, and as the artist, thus continually shaping the individual’s artistic persona and artistic voice. The focus group data from the early-career border-crossing artists originating from Belarus and living in Lithuania are used alongside my autoethnographic data as a Lithuanian artist living in the Arctic North and the visual data from a middle-career artist from Lithuania living and working in the Nordic and Arctic North regions. This data was used for the reflexive analysis. The results outline the possible impact of border-crossing on artistic practice.
Enhancing Community Sustainability in the North Through Valorization of Competencies
Authors: Yeasmin Nafisa , Uusiautti Satu , Ferdous Zannatul
Published: September 2023

Recently governmental policies of Finland are to attract international students and scholars into Finnish higher education institutes (HEIs). And a retention policy has been adopted by the government program titled talent boost program (Talent Boost, n/a). Although refugees and third-country nationals who have arrived and have been living in Finland are the most vulnerable group facing challenges in creating values of their previously acquired qualifications. Getting access to particular jobs based on their educational background is difficult for refugees, students, or international students.

Our research explores how to enhance community sustainability in a sparsely inhabited diverse society through the valorization of competencies of newcomers in the community. This study argues that encompassing new members from different cultures, making the communities of the mainstream society familiar with diversities, and recognizing diverse needs to build trust and reciprocity between majorities and minorities need equal recognition of diversity and showing respect for diverse perspectives of all citizens despite their socio-cultural, economic, and political backgrounds. Multiple needs of multiple groups of people in a community are vitally important for sustaining the societal construct and building trust among locals and immigrants. In this study, we explore the skill valorization of international students and scholars, why and how it is a sign to valorize the competencies of international students, and how this valorization of diverse skills is interconnected to the “community stability” of the North.
Examining the Nonstationary Spatial Association Between International Migration and Vulnerable Older People Living Alone in Mexico
Authors: Rojas Huerta Abigail Vanessa , Lara Lara Jaime
Published: September 2023

Research on the intersection of migration and ageing is becoming increasingly relevant as older populations grow in developing countries. Understanding the challenges faced by older people, who are often left behind due to their vulnerable position, is essential for policy-making. This research examines the geographical variation in the impact of international migration on the living alone status of older people in Mexico, particularly those most at risk. The following municipal-level information was obtained from the 2020 Census: international migration, living alone, receipt of remittances, and disability. Using geographically weighted regressions, we found geographical variations in the association between international migration and living alone or being more vulnerable. Controlling for socio-demographic factors, in the southern states international migration is associated with a reduction in the proportion of adults living alone and greater vulnerability due to disability or lack of support from other households. This relationship holds for both men and women. However, in some border regions the proportion of older adults living alone and experiencing greater vulnerability increases with increasing migration, especially for women.

Kazakhstan's labor migration management is currently faced with pressing challenges. These include a disparity between attracting labor migrants and effectively regulating their flow, a lack of tools to assess regional demand for skilled foreign workers, and inadequate systems to monitor migrant movement and placement. Moreover, there's a pronounced brain drain across various industries without efficient strategies to retain this talent. This research proposes evidence-based strategies for establishing an integrated labor migration regulation system. Our goal is to refine Kazakhstan's migration policy, strengthen its legislative framework, and offer actionable recommendations for government bodies. The methodological foundation is built on a blend of general scientific and specialized legal methodologies, drawing insights from comparative jurisprudence. These methodologies encompass system-structural, historical-legal, socio-legal, and comparative legal approaches, ensuring a holistic, nuanced, and comprehensive research strategy.

Este artigo tem como objetivo realizar revisão bibliográfica descritiva com abordagem qualitativa, sobre os dispositivos eletrônicos para fumar (DEFs). Os dispositivos eletrônicos para fumar, incluindo cigarros eletrônicos (CE), que são produtos operados por bateria e utilizados para inalação de um aerossol, que normalmente contém nicotina, aromatizantes, aditivos de sabor e outros produtos químicos. Sua aparência pode ser similar à de cigarros tradicionais, charutos ou cachimbos, sendo os mais modernos semelhantes a canetas ou pen drives. Salienta-se que o uso de cigarros eletrônicos expõe o organismo a uma variedade de produtos químicos como aqueles adicionados, provenientes do próprio dispositivo (nanopartículas de metal) e, ainda, gerados durante o processo de aquecimento ou vaporização. Esse aparelho, que surgiu como uma alternativa benéfica para proteger a saúde das pessoas e cessar o tabagismo, apresentou-se controverso quanto aos resultados de pesquisas sobre sua eficácia, visto que tais estudos foram financiados pela indústria do cigarro e pesquisas posteriores, não financiadas, apresentaram maior índice de relatos sobre os malefícios do produto. Além disso, seu uso levanta uma questão quanto a dependência psico-comportamental de seus usuários por ele não cessar de forma garantida o hábito de fumar já que apenas substitui o cigarro tradicional pelo eletrônico.

A naturalidade de um sorriso é de extrema importância na busca pela estética. Dessa forma, opta-se pelas cerâmicas livres de metal ou metal free na reabilitação, pois possuem a vantagem de se assemelharem ao dente natural. Paciente do sexo feminino, 59 anos de idade, procurou atendimento para reabilitação protética na clínica de extensão em Reabilitação Oral com Implantes Osseointegráveis do Centro Universitário Sagrado Coração. Na anamnese, a paciente relatou agenesia dentária nos elementos 12 e 22 onde realizou cirurgia para colocação de dois implantes em clínica privada. Ao exame físico intrabucal observou-se comprometimento estético em relação à cor e forma. Inicialmente solicitou-se exames complementares sendo que no exame radiográfico foi possível observar a presença de implantes osseointegráveis nos elementos 12, 22, 46 e 47. Cirurgia periodontal foi realizada tanto para correção de discrepância de volume e substrato escurecido na região dos dentes 11, 12, 13, como para recobrimento radicular por meio de enxerto conjuntivo subepitelial na região do dente 23. Posteriormente, facetas de porcelana nos dentes 11 e 21 foram confeccionadas e cimentadas com All Cem Venner. Para minimizar a coloração acinzentada na margem cervical da coroa protética optou-se por um pilar cerâmico nos elementos 12 e 22. A cimentação foi realizada com cimento resino dual autoadesivo, seguida da fotoativação com análise dos contatos oclusais em máxima intercuspidação habitual, protrusão e lateralidade para eliminação de possíveis contatos prematuros. A escolha de implantes osseointegráveis neste caso foi para evitar o desgaste dentário e para uma melhor dissipação das forças na região posterior. O planejamento reverso, aplicado neste relato caso, deve ser seguido em todas as reabilitações orais com implantes dentários. O tratamento executado  foi concluído com êxito e a paciente demonstrou-se satisfeita com a função e estética obtida.
