The role of play in early childhood education curricula in Greece and the world: A systematic literature review
Authors: Stamatoglou Maria
Published: February 2024

The scope of this systematic review is to present the role of play within early childhood education curricula in Greece and around the world. In particular, findings will be presented from 25 early childhood education curricula from the past 15 years (2004-2018). Seven of these come from countries of the European Union, one from a country that used to be a member of the European Union, two from countries of Africa, seven from countries of North and Latin America and the Caribbean, six from counties of Asia and two from Oceania. Findings present the role of play within the early childhood education curricula and where possible the role of the educator in relation to play in preschool settings. From the systematic review and the analysis of the curricula we can conclude that early childhood education curricula are in their majority child-centered, they vary in form and recognize the importance of play in children’s holistic development and learning. Educators on their behalf tend to adopt various roles in order to support and promote play at the nursery school, indoors and outdoors in cooperation with parents and other professionals. Factors that influence the content of early childhood curricula and the role of play in them, are geographic location, cultural heritage, structure of society, knowledge of history and respect for the past and the future always in relation to the needs of the children of this age.
Institutional Glorification In Public Organization: Interplay Between Social Identity And Leadership
Authors: Yusuf M. Yusuf , Firdaus Yusnizal , Ar Sopiyan , Andriyani Titi
Published: February 2024

Public organizations nowadays face two issues. For one, there is a growing demand for good governance to tackle their typical weaknesses. Another, the application of e-service is already imperative, partly as a way to ascertain that a good governance is in place. However, the handling of two issues has been cumbersome. The present study conceives the importance social identity might play, the sense of belonging represented by spirit de corps, driven by lag compared to their private counterpart. For those purposes, it inserts organizational glorification to find out its’ effect on sustainable E-service implementation. It also designs good governance orientation which is of relevance to any public organization.  It conceives that good governance orientation could serve as a partial moderator in the relationship between transformative leadership and sustainable e-service implementation, and between institutional glorification and sustainable e-service implementation.

Indonesia has diversity culture, one of them is batik. One of Indonesian batik is eco-print batik in Bantul, Yogyakarta. It is a type of batik that made by using utilizes natural dyes from leaf, root or stem dyes that are placed on a piece of fabric. Eco-print batik is an eco-friendly product and is based on the potential and local knowledge of the local community. Therefore, the objectives of this research are: (1) to explain the existence of eco-print batik in Bantul, Yogyakarta; (2) to explain the process of making eco-print batik in Bantul that eco-friendly products of green business; (3) to identify and strengthen the concept of eco-friendly products of green business based on indigenous knowledge by the case of eco-print batik in Bantul. The research method is qualitative with an ethnographic approach. The data are collected by participatory observation (directly observing the process of making eco-print batik), in-depth interviews, documentation, and document studies on eco-products, especially eco-print batik. The informant of this research are the eco-print batik crafters. Then, the data are analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model analysis. The results of this research, are: (1) eco-print batik is a technique of applying leaves or flowers on a fabric to produce certain (natural) motifs. It was introduced in Indonesia around 2016 and easily accepted by Indonesian textile crafters because Indonesia has strong roots in the tradition of natural dyeing and textile arts (batik process). In 2018, eco-print is increasingly gaining attention and popularity, especially for one of the batik crafters in Bantul with a workshop space, namely Sogga Batik. (2) The process of making eco-print batik uses several techniques, such as pounding, leaf fermentation, and steaming techniques. From the three techniques, Yanti Sogga in Bantul prefers the steaming technique because the resulting color is strong and long lasting. The process is not too long. Moreover, the materials used (input), the process, the product (output), and marketing method in eco-print batik are very eco-friendly because these concern about environmental sustainability. (3) The concept of eco-friendly products of green business based on indigenous knowledge by the case of eco-print batik in Bantul is being the novelty concept, namely the “indigenous eco-friendly product” by strengthening and combining Sommer’s green business components, ILO’s green business elements, and 3R method (go green concept) with indigenous knowledge perspective.
For your eyes only? An eye-tracking experiment investigating microtargeting transparency, visual attention and critical processing
Authors: Jansen Martin , van Ooijen Iris
Published: February 2024

By means of their personal data, users on social media platforms get targeted to be persuaded by political advertisers with messages that are specifically tailored to them: political microtargeting. A substantial problem with political microtargeting is that receivers of targeted advertisements are often unaware that they are being targeted. Increasing transparency to improve awareness potentially leads to a more critical way to process information in an advertisement. Moreover, the use of these measures could lead to differences in users’ attention to the advertisement. Therefore, this study investigates whether a disclosure that informs users about targeting practices occurring on Instagram leads to more visual attention to the disclosure, whether this leads to more critical processing of the advertisement, and whether this relationship is mediated by users’ visual attention to the advertisement. In a preregistered one-factorial between-subjects laboratory eye-tracking experiment (N = 134) we exposed participants to an Instagram timeline containing either a sponsorship disclosure (control condition) or a more salient and informative targeting disclosure (experimental condition). Results show that the targeting disclosure did not lead to higher levels of visual attention to the disclosure, but that attention to the disclosure was positively related to more critical processing as well as more visual attention to the ad. Nevertheless, we did not find a mediating effect of attention to the advertisement on the relationship between attention to the disclosure and critical processing. Finally, we believe that these disclosures represent a step forward in improving transparency and shielding users.
AI as a Catalyst for Sustainable Education in Business Schools
Authors: LOMINE LOYKIE
Published: February 2024

The role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education is generating considerable debate, including in business schools. Drawing insights from recent publications (both academic and journalistic) and from examples of business schools around the world, this paper explores the potential of AI as a catalyst for sustainable education. It is structured around the alignment of AI's educational benefits with four of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). Key findings suggest that AI's capabilities in offering personalized learning experiences, fostering innovation, promoting responsible consumption and bolstering sustainable partnerships position IA as an essential tool for business schools. This paper ultimately advocates for the deliberate and strategic integration of AI to further the mission of sustainability education of business schools worldwide.

For those who only experience monotropic cognitive style, monotropism is everything. it is woven into every aspect of life. It is who you are, your whole state of being; the way you think, process, respond, perceive sensory input, interact with people and your environment. The Monotropism Questionnaire (MQ), is a self-report tool designed to assess for features indicating monotropic cognitive style. Which is based on an Interest Based Account of Autism, and it has been argued to be a Unified Theory of Autism. Please see here for further information on monotropism theory, research, and practice. The present MQ items are informed by this Monotropism model to explain “Pathological Demand-Avoidance” in autistic persons, there is debate if the anxiety-based items should be removed from the tool, because how autism is often defined in clinical contexts, anxiety is not a core feature of autism, or a universal experience amongst autistics, and generally due to how autistics are being present, or previously situations. We know that autistics are systemically poorly treated by broader society and culture. Causing many autistics to become an Academic, Activist, or Advocate. This list is intended to only be used to guide researchers until research is conducted to indicate Autistics’ preferences on the matter. This document is published under a Creative Commons license, CC-BY-NC-SA, to allow the list to be widely shared. Below is the finalised list of potential research topics, which can be completed by adult participants for the Monotropism Questionnaire (MQ). The development of an observer rated version for use by adults, like caregivers, might best be waited for until refinement of the present MQ. There should be a separate list of potential research topics for investigating Monotropism in children and young persons. The research topics are grouped by category, for ease of reference. The placement of some research topics on the list maybe arbitrary.
Targeting Cancer Cell Signaling Using Precision Oncology Towards a Holistic Approach to Cancer Therapeutics
Authors: KUMAR MANISH
Published: February 2024

Cancer is a complex and multifaceted disease having a number of composite problems to be considered including cancer immune evasion, therapy resistance, and recurrence for prevention and cure. Fundamentally it remains a genetic disease as diverse aspects of the complexity of tumor growth and cancer development relate to its genetic machinery and requires addressing the problems at the level of genome and epigenome. Presumably, the mutational changes occurring in the regulatory genes responsible for maintaining optimal cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation gradually lead to cancer progression and metastasis. Importantly, patients with the same cancer types respond differently to cancer therapies, indicating the need for a patient-specific treatment option for cancer cure. Precision oncology is a form of cancer therapy that focuses on the genetic profiling of individual tumors to identify molecular alterations involved in cancer development for custom-tailored personalized treatment of the disease. It is to rely upon the genomic study of cancer cells to get a clear picture of the prognosis and pathways involved in disease progression and to look for the means to selectively target them to ensure effective treatment of the deadly disease. Precision oncology now combines cancer diagnosis and prognosis followed by designing a treatment regimen for precise treatment of cancer at different stages and times. Recent advances in molecular technologies have indeed accelerated the implementation of precision oncology management, leading to improved clinical outcomes in selected cohorts of patients. This article aims to briefly explain the foundations and frontiers of precision oncology in the context of ongoing technological advances in this regard to assess its scope and importance in the realization of a proper cure for cancer.
Marine surveillance with marine radar: theory, simulation, contribution to computer-aided ship wakes detection
Authors: Arnold Andreas
Published: February 2024

We study the feasibility of ship wakes detection in monostatic or bistatic radar images to get parameters such as the ship's heading and speed. We begin by describing the bistatic radar acquisition chain in the marine environment, in particular the electromagnetic wave scattering models applied to ocean surfaces and how to obtain an elevation map of the Kelvin wake. Then we describe a raw radar simulator able to tackle bistatic configurations and we compare our results with data obtained from literature. The second part of the thesis is a study on ship wake detectability in radar images. First we consider the case of the so-called "dead water" wake, by benchmarking four typical reference chains. Then we study the detectability of Kelvin ship wakes in high resolution radar images: we discuss the choice of a radar configuration to optimize the visibility of the wake, and then we present an algorithm able to obtain the ship's heading and speed from the images. The algorithm is based on the stochastic matched filtering theory, and it also operates on high resolution optical images acquired from space.
Information Search With ChatGPT: An Experimental Comparison of Credibility Judgments across Different Presentation Modes
Authors: Anderl Christine , Klein Stefanie Helene , Sarigul Busra , Schneider Frank M. , Han Junyi , Fiedler Paul , Utz Sonja
Published: February 2024

People increasingly use large language model (LLM)-based conversational agents to obtain information. However, the information these models provide is not always factually accurate. Thus, it is critical to understand what helps users adequately assess the credibility of the provided information. Here, we report the results of two preregistered experiments in which participants rated the credibility of accurate versus partially inaccurate information ostensibly provided by a dynamic text-based LLM-powered agent, a voice-based agent, or a static text-based online encyclopedia. We found that people were better at detecting inaccuracies when information was provided as static text compared to both types of conversational agents, regardless of whether information search applications were branded (Alexa, ChatGPT, and Wikipedia) or unbranded. Mediation analysis further corroborated the interpretation that a conversational nature poses a threat to adequate credibility judgments. Our research highlights the importance of presentation mode when dealing with misinformation.

Spatial representations of natural scene images generalize across individuals, tasks, and viewing time
Authors: Mahableshwarkar Prachi , Houck Lindsay , Philbeck John W. , Kravitz Dwight
Published: February 2024

Natural scenes contain a multitude of cues that can support spatial perception, making it difficult to study. Here, in a series of pre-registered behavioral studies we quantify scene-specific spatial representations that generalize over tasks, stimulus durations, and participants. We presented 156 scene images at varying durations (125, 250, 1000ms) to independent groups of participants who either estimated or discriminated the egocentric distance to target objects. Not only were participants able to estimate distance in images seen only once, they also showed scene-specific deviations that strongly predicted behavior in the other task being performed by different observers. Given that the only commonality was the scenes themselves, pictorial features must be driving the observed responses. In fact, we found one such feature, the size of the ground plane, did explain the magnitude of the observed scene-specific deviations. Our results implicate a finely-tuned, rapid mechanism for integrating pictorial information into percepts of distance in natural images.

Proporsi Perkebunan Besar Swasta (PBS) adalah proporsi yang terbesar dalam komposisi pengusahaan kelapa sawit di Indonesia. Pada tahun 2020, proporsinya mencapai 54% dimana hampir 20% adalah perusahaan besar yang sudah go public dan menjual saham di pasar bursa. Namun isu-isu negatif tentang pengusahaan kelapa sawit yang tidak sustainable menyebabkan investor kehilangan kepercayaan untuk berinvestasi pada perusahaan di sektor perkebunan, sehingga terjadi penuruna harga saham sektor perkebunan. Pada tahun 2011, International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) mengeluarkan sistem pelaporan Integrated Reporting yang memberikan informasi lengkap tentang aktivitas-aktivitas perusahaan termasuk aktivitas terkait sosial, lingkungan, dan aspek keuangan. Melalui sistem pelaporan ini, diharapkan perusahaan dapat memberikan informasi yang lengkap dan terpercaya kepada seluruh stakeholders termasuk investor dan dapat mengembalikan kepercayaan investor. Di Indonesia sistem pelaporan ini masih bersifat voluntary dan belum menjadi kewajiban. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada perusahaan perkebunan yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia dengan mengambil data seluruh laporan yng dipublikasi oleh perusahaan dari tahun 2014-2020. Metode analisis yang digunakan yaitu content analysis, uji beda rata-rata, dan analisis regresi sederhana. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa belum ada perusahaan yang menerbitkan integrated reporting, perusahaan masih sebatas menerbitkan annual report, tetapi sudah ada yang menerbitkan sustainability report. Tingkat pengungkapan juga masih sangat sedikit, masih terbatas pada hal-hal yang general belum terinci seperti yang ada di standar GRI. Hal ini dikarenakan perkebunan kelapa sawit bukan menghasilkan produk jadi yang langsung ke konsumen, sehingga banyak standar yang juga kurang sesuai.

Young adulthood (18-29 years of age) is the most unstable period of the life span when changes in intimate relationships and work are the common issues. This period is closely related to various mental health problems, such as loneliness. This study aims to determine the role of hope as a mediator between psychological inflexibility and loneliness in young adults. Research participants were 230 participants who were in the young adulthood stage (18-29 years of age). Loneliness was measured using UCLA Loneliness Scale-6 (ULS-6), psychological inflexibility was measured using Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II), and hope was measured using The Adult Dispositional Hope Scale (AHS). Mediation analysis was done using Hayes PROCESS MACRO (Model 4). The results of the analysis show that hope has a mediating role in the relationship between psychological inflexibility and loneliness in young adults. The implication of this research is that it can be used as a consideration for selecting interventions that focus on increasing psychological flexibility and hope when dealing with loneliness in young adults.

Published: February 2024

A web service is a set of code of a server application that performs a specific task or service whenever it is invoked through a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) by a client application that is connected to the server over the Internet. Web services are one of the digital strategies that can be used by the government for curtailing academic certificate scandals being perpetrated by fraudulent individuals in various sectors of the economy. The traditional method of checking academic records and certificates manually is inefficient and prone to forgery by unscrupulous elements. Similarly, the e-transcript system being adopted by some organizations to authenticate the academic qualifications of individuals for possible admission or employment still involves a manual process. The objective of this work therefore is to show how web services for certificate verification of all tiers of the educational system in Nigeria can be maintained by one central body which is the Federal Ministry of Education in Nigeria to enable various end-users (such as educational institutions, commercial organizations, etc) use the web services to authenticate and process the academic records of individuals effortlessly. A simulated data of 20 SSCE results of students who completed their secondary school education at various institutions was used to illustrate the application of a web service. The web service program was written in Java. A client application which was also written in Java was used to query the web service through RPC to authenticate and process the certificate claims of a sample of five students for admission into a tertiary institution. Results showed that the web service excellently ascertained the eligible candidates for admission and those that were not. The web service technology is therefore highly recommended for use by the federal ministry of education in Nigeria to eradicate the academic certificate scandals amongst the citizenry.

This article aims to understand various efforts to improve public services through deregulation. For example, the Mayor of Pekalongan shared complaints from fishermen who felt that the existence of the state and government made it difficult because to take care of sea permits alone had to deal with 17 different agencies. The problem centers on the obstacles to improving public services through deregulation and the factors that cause overregulation in Indonesia. This study determined the obstacles to public services and over-regulation. The data used are secondary data collected through literature studies and analyzed qualitatively. This study concludes that the Government has made various efforts to improve intermediate public services through deregulation by enacting several laws and regulations that unify the material of previous laws and regulations. Overregulation occurs in Indonesia due to the unclear development of authority between various institutions. There are still many overlapping laws and regulations in regulating various affairs so the applicable regulations can be said to have been too many. Therefore, there needs to be a firm policy in the division of authority of regulators so that there is no more over-regulation because there are no more overlapping regulations.

This research examines the business growth of the Food and Beverage Services subsector in Medan City along with the implementation of the Risk-Based Licensing System (OSS RBA) in Indonesia. OSS RBA based on the Standard Qualifications for Indonesian Business Fields (KBLI) aims to increase the Ease of Doing Business (EoDB). However, the application of top-down OSS RBA with the Business Identification Number (NIB) carries the potential for abuse. This research analyzes the factors (Starting a Business, Electricity Connection, Tax Payments, Building Permits, Access to Credit, and Protection of Minority Investors) that influence the Growth of Food and Beverage Services Investment in Medan City. The results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) show three significant factors: Protection of Minority Investors, Starting a Business, and Access to Credit. Obstacles include the NIB scale not being by local spatial planning and changes in the issuance of risk permits between the Central and Regional Governments. It is hoped that this research will provide insight into the implementation of OSS RBA and investment growth in the Food and Beverage Services sector.
