Authors: Veitamana Elina Waqaitamana , Abhicharttibutra Kulwadee , Wichaikum Orn-Anong , Nansupawat Apiradee
Published: August 2024

Quality of care by nurses is a key factor in determining the success of healthcare delivery around the globe, which is impacted by a shortage of nurses, excessive workloads, and unfavorable working conditions, including in the Republic of Fiji Islands. Using the Quality Health Outcome Model, this descriptive-predictive, cross-sectional study examined the quality of care and its predictors among 744 Fijian registered nurses from three tertiary hospitals. Instruments for data collection were the Demographic Data Sheet, the Quality of Care Scale, the Participation in Decision Making Scale, the Relational Coordination Survey, the Perception of Organizational Change Scale, the Job Satisfaction Scale, and the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were applied to analyze the data.
This study’s findings are informative and offer a glimmer of hope since 72.58% of participants perceived the overall quality of care as good/excellent, indicating a positive baseline. Two factors, relational coordination and job satisfaction, significantly affected the perception of the quality of care. The study model explained 8.90% of the variance in quality of care, with relational coordination being the strongest predictor. These findings provide a clear path to improvement. A comprehensive model should be developed and tested to better understand the factors predicting Fiji’s quality of care before it can be used to design an effective intervention. Developing nursing skills, improving good communication and work environments, and providing high-quality education and training among nurses can significantly improve the quality of care. In addition, support from the government for appropriate medical equipment, recruitment and retention strategies for nurses, and promotion of standard of care from the Ministry of Health and Medical Services are recommended to enhance the quality of care, further bolstering this hopeful outlook. Further Fijian nursing research is clearly needed on this topic in the future.

Islam has emerged in the Arabian Peninsula as a universal human religion that advocates virtue, humanity, and compassion. Isalm has established detailed rules for protecting civilians and civilian targets during armed conflicts. The Islamic Shari'a rules recommended compassion for enemies, not over-killing them, and refraining from any act contrary to the provisions of the Islamic Shari'a. Islamic Shari'a, through its sources, such as the Holy Quran and the Prophet's Sunna, has established rules protecting the victims of war to decide on humanitarian provisions that are already considered for all humanitarian principles relating to the protection of victims of armed conflict and civilians who are not involved in such conflicts, i.e., non-combatants in general. Since the end of the nineteenth century and during the twentieth century, after World and regional wars have caused terrible humanitarian disasters from killing, displacement, torture, and other inhumane treatment, the world's peoples and States have been alerted to the need to establish rules protecting specific groups during armed conflicts, culminating in the international conventions, most notably the Hague Conventions 1899-1907, the four Geneva Conven Conventions of 1949 and the two Protocols 1977 annexed to it. This paper addresses “the categories Protected during armed conflicts in the Islamic Shari'a and those protected in international humanitarian law by reviewing what has been recognized in the Islamic Shari'a for the protection of specific categories during armed conflict and what has been dealt with in the international conventions.

Published: August 2024

Objective: This study investigates the impact of corporate governance and ownership structure on the performance of banks listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during the period from 2012 to 2021. Methodology: The research method is of a survey type and utilizes financial information and annual reports of the banks. Data extraction and necessary statistical tests were conducted. In this study, three performance indicators were used: Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Tobin's Q. The research method is descriptive-causal, and the design is experimental using a post-event approach. For data analysis, statistical and econometric methods, particularly multiple regression, were employed. Findings: The results indicate that among the corporate governance criteria, board independence, board size, and audit firm size have the most significant impact on bank performance and play a crucial role in improving performance. In contrast, CEO duality and the relationship and holding management have less impact. Additionally, a positive and significant relationship was observed between board independence and audit firm size with bank performance. In the context of ownership structure, top shareholders and ownership concentration were identified as the most influential criteria. Conclusion: These criteria play an important role in the ownership structure of banks. Conversely, domestic private ownership, foreign ownership, and managerial ownership have less impact compared to other criteria. Furthermore, a negative and significant relationship was observed between ownership concentration and bank performance, indicating that high ownership concentration may lead to a decrease in bank performance. This study highlights the importance of specific corporate governance and ownership structure

Authors: Frisk Anna-Karin
Published: August 2024

Studien undersöker vad det innebär att kunna relatera rituella handlingar till centrala tankegångar i olika religioner, vilket är ett krav som kursplanen i religionskunskap för år 4-6 har på elevernas kunnande. Resultatet visar att kunnandet kan ses på olika sätt: som att förklara handlingar utifrån centrala tankegångar, eller som att se att centrala tankegångar ger handlingar mening. En slutsats är att en förmåga att se symbolik i handlingar kan vara en ämnesspecifik förmåga som religionskunskapsämnet kan bidra till att utveckla. I diskussionen problematiseras kursplaneformuleringen ”kunskaper om religioner” i anslutning till detta kunnande. Resultatet diskuteras vidare i relation till kunskap och bildning samt ’religious literacy’. Data utgörs av transkriberade elevsamtal, lärarsamtal samt videodokumentation under en Learning study i år 6.

Att det finns ett samband mellan läsning och kroppslighet har uppmärksammats, däremot saknas forskning som specifikt belyser lärares kroppslighet i relation till litteraturundervisningen. Studiens teoretiska perspektiv utgår från Maurice Merleau-Pontys perceptionsfilosofi och särskilt begreppet den levda kroppen. Genom att använda mig av analysverktygen ’takt’, van Manen, 1990, och ’hållning’, Claesson, 2009, undersöker jag hur två lärare i olika klasser undervisar i litteratur och de situationer som där uppkommer. Metoden som använts är deltagande observation. I artikeln framkommer att de två lärarnas kroppslighet bidrar till att framhäva olika receptionsteoretiska hållningar. Lärarna kan därmed sägas förkroppsliga olika receptionsteoretiska positioner.
Literature instruction viewed from a corporal perspective
The purpose with this article is to exploratively examine whether it is possible to identify different bodily dimensions of literature teaching in primary school. The starting point is the connection made between reading and physicality, and the lack of research that specifically study teacher education about reading from a bodily perspective. The theoretical perspective used in this article is based on Maurice Merleau-Pontys’ philosophy of perception and especially the concept of ’the lived body’. Using the tools ’tact’, van Manen, 1990, and ’stance’, Claesson, 2009. I examine how two teachers in two different classes deal with their teaching in literature and the situations that arise in the classroom. The method used in this study is participant observation. This article shows that the two teachers’ corporality contributes to highlight different aspects of reception theoretical stances; the teachers embody different reception theoretical positions.
Händig, skicklig och konstfärdig – slöjdkunnande i interaktion
Authors: Andersson Joakim , Johansson Marléne
Published: August 2024

Skolans slöjdundervisning erbjuder ett lärande som skiljer sig i förhållande till flera skolämnen då kunskaperna utvecklas och synliggörs genom att tillverka ett fysiskt föremål. I läroplanstexter beskrivs slöjdämnet och vad eleverna förväntas utveckla, men det finns få praktiknära forskningsstudier om hur det kan gå till att lära sig slöjda. Innebörden av begreppet slöjd är mångfasetterad och det kan vara problematiskt att uppfatta skillnader i slöjdens lärprocesser. Att bli mer händig, skicklig och konstfärdig i att forma slöjdföremål kan uppfattas som ’praktiskt arbete’ i allmänhet, kunnandet kan förbli dolt i oreflekterat görande. I föreliggande studie har en workshop i träsvarvning på en slöjdlärarutbildning studerats. Syftet är att undersöka slöjdkunnighet och beskriva hur slöjdkunnande konstitueras i interaktion med andra och med de situationer som skapas i den fysiska miljön för slöjdverksamheten. De videofilmade situationerna har analyserats utifrån några av slöjdbegreppens betydelser; händig, skicklig och konstfärdig. Utöver hantverkskunnande synliggör studien pedagogiska aspekter om hur det kan gå till att lära sig slöjda. Analyserna visar att slöjdarbete inte bara handlar om att arbeta på ett eget slöjdföremål. Studenterna intar olika roller när de, med hjälp av flera multimodala resurser, arbetar på både egna och varandras arbeten.
Handy, dexterous and skillful - craft knowing in interaction
The school subject of Sloyd [sw. slöjd] provides different learning experiences since knowledge is developed and made visible by making a physical artefact. The meaning of the Swedish term Slöjd [eng. Sloyd, Craft] is multifaceted and it can be problematic to perceive differences in sloyd learning processes. Becoming more handy [sw. händig], dexterous [sw. hantverksskicklig] and skillful in forming a crafted artefact [sw. konstfärdig] may be perceived as ‘practical work’ in general, i.e. the knowledge can remain hidden in unreflected making. The video recorded empirical data in this article is collected during a workshop in wood turning in a teacher training course. The study aims to describe how skills are developed in interaction with others and with the situations created in the physical environment in the classroom for sloyd activities. The analysis shows that so-called practical knowledge requires support from several multimodal forms of interactions. Becoming handy, dexterous and skillful in forming a crafted artefact includes handicraft knowledge as well as pedagogic aspects. Sloyd work is not just about working on a personal craft object. The results show that students alternate between standing by and observing, they practice or show off their knowledge to each other, while using several multimodal resources working on their own and each other’s artefacts.
Genrer och språkliga resurser i grundskolans läromedel – ett funktionellt perspektiv
Authors: Walldén Robert
Published: August 2024

Artikeln undersöker hur fem skrivpedagogiska läromedel för grundskolan instruerar om genrestrukturer, logiska samband och värderande beskrivningar. Den ger också teoretiska redskap för att belysa relationen mellan form och funktion i undervisning om genrer. Analysen skedde genom att relatera de aktuella språkliga områdena till relevanta systemisk-funktionella och genreteoretiska kategorier. Resultatet visar en svag koppling mellan form och funktion i läromedlens instruktioner, där beskrivningarna av genrestrukturer ofta är antingen för vaga eller för specifika för att kunna användas effektivt inom de aktuella genrerna. Läromedlen instruerar om logiska samband i sammanhang de inte behövs, medan instruktioner om resurser för värderande beskrivningar begränsar sig till adjektiv. Ett kunskapsbidrag från artikeln är att visa hur den funktionella basen hos instruktioner kan stärkas genom att genom att anlägga ordklassöverskridande perspektiv och i högre grad beakta hur språkliga resurser motiveras av genrer och kommunikativa behov.
Abstract
This article investigates how five textbooks instruct about genre structures, logical connections and resources for evaluative descriptions. It also gives theoretical tools for considering the relation between form and function in teaching genre. The analysis was conducted by relating the specific linguistic areas to relevant systemic-functional and genre-theoretical categories. The result shows a weak connection between form and function in the instructions of the textbooks, where descriptions of genre structures are either too vague or too specific to be applied effectively within the relevant genres. Furthermore, logical connections are modelled in contexts where they are not necessitated, while modelling of resources for evaluative descriptions are restricted to adjectives. A contribution from the article is to show how the functional basis of instructions may be improved by greater attention to relations between linguistic resources and communicative needs, as well as by applying perspectives transcending grammatical categories.

Regulación y controversia en la caza de animales en Santa Cruz, Argentina: Un análisis del derecho comparado
Authors: Kehaike Caló Matías Ahmed
Published: August 2024

Hunting animals is considered a sport in some countries, including some provinces in Argentina. This activity has generated some debate in the law and in society. On the one hand, there are those who defend this activity, such as cattle ranchers, arguing that it ties up hunting tourism and that hunting is necessary to control the populations of pumas and foxes that attack their livestock. On the other hand, there are those who completely reject this activity, such as NGOs and environmentalists, who highlight the environmental impact that such practices bring about, and propose other alternatives such as ecotourism. Argentina has a large regulatory framework on animal protection and the application of criminal sanctions to those who infringe these rules, but it maintains a scheme from the old Vélez code of 1869 where animals today continue to be considered as movable property according to the civil and commercial code of the nation. This limited vision is reflected in the difficulty to integrate conservation and sustainability principles in the regulation of hunting and the protection of wildlife in Argentina.
Regulación y naturaleza jurídica como determinantes de la calidad de la información financiera en universidades
Authors: Diaz Ramos Alejandro , Garcías Molina René
Published: August 2024

This research aimed to estimate accounting manipulation practices in Chilean universities by using earnings management models. By employing financial reports from 53 universities for the years 2014 to 2022, a model was implemented to estimate discretionary accruals using the econometric technique known as the Generalized Method of Moments. Two specific hypotheses were tested: on the one hand, the difference in discretionary accruals between public and private entities, and on the other hand, whether the increased regulations on the Chilean higher education system since 2018 have reduced earnings management. It was found that public universities report lower earnings management and therefore higher quality financial information. Additionally, it was confirmed that the increased regulations introduced to the higher education system in Chile do not impact the earnings management of entities. This research, unprecedented in the national context, has practical implications for both regulatory bodies and university administrators, as it is equally important to ensure the financial sustainability of entities and the quality of the financial information upon which sustainability assessments are based.
