Authors:   Northwestern Visayan Colleges, Sastre Joan , Quimpo Marianne ,   Northwestern Visayan Colleges
Published: September 2024

This inquiry sought to determine the effectiveness of using Team Reading Approach for developing reading comprehension skills of Grade 5 learners. The subjects of the study were split into six (6) groups with two performing learners leading each group. In the course of data analysis, the results obtained from these team leaders were excluded and therefore only twenty-four (24) set of scores were analyzed. Using quantitative approach employing the pretest vs. post-test method to thirty-six (36) learners purposively selected for this study it was found that before the introduction to the team reading approach, learners demonstrated low mastery of reading comprehension skills. It was also later found after they were introduced to the approach that they demonstrated average mastery of the reading comprehension skills. The paired samples test confirmed that there was a significant difference in the reading comprehension of learners in identifying the main idea, identifying supporting details, clarifying meaning of content-based words, determining text types according to purpose and determining text types according to structure before and after they were introduced to the team reading approach. The findings of the study prompted the development of an action plan that targets the foundational reading comprehension skills identified in this study.

Resource governance: Does abundance of resources guarantee socioeconomic development in Nigeria?
Authors:   Pan African University - Institute of Governance, Humanities and Social Sciences (PAUGHSS), Cameroon, Lajuwomi Oluwatosin Owolabi
Published: September 2024

This study aims to assess how resource governance affects socioeconomic development in Nigeria. Using the multivariate regression technique, a statistical analysis system involving the dependent variable and independent variables, secondary data was adopted for this empirical investigation and were sourced from the World Bank’s World Development Indicators (WDI), the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin. The dataset spans from the first half of 2003 to the second half of 2022. The main analytical technique employed in this study is the Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) regression model, a systematic and effective method of estimating variables that do not change over time, otherwise known as stationary time series data. Empirical findings indicate that government effectiveness significantly negatively impacts socioeconomic development (proxied by the Human Development Index), while the Rule of Law positively and significantly impacts HDI. Furthermore, oil revenue exhibits a negative but insignificant impact on HDI, while Foreign Direct Investment has a significant negative impact on HDI. The findings of this study align with the Resource Curse Theory which states that countries with abundant natural resources tend to experience economic downturns as a result of high dependence on their natural resources. To address these issues, this study recommends that the government should implement sustainable and equitable management policies that ensure the responsible use of natural resources in Nigeria by embracing good governance, accountability, transparency, and ethical leadership to enhance capacity to address socioeconomic challenges.
The Saiga antelope (Saiga tatarica) in the Quaternary of Ukraine: distribution and morphology

The article analyses the findings of fossils, archaeological sites, and historical literature on the distribution of saigas in Ukraine during the Quaternary period. Most findings of saiga fossils are concentrated in the Crimea and the Northern Black Sea region. However, the northernmost record localities of the species are known from the territory of Rivne Oblast. The oldest finds date back to the Middle Palaeolithic period. The most famous sites of the Middle Palaeolithic period are Illinka Cave (Odesa Oblast) and a number of Crimean sites, such as Aji Koba, Alimov’s Canopy, Za-Skelna V, Temna Cave, and Prolom II. Saiga remains were found in the faunal collections of Late Palaeolithic sites, including Anetivka II (Odesa Oblast), Buran Kaya IV, and Suren I in the Crimea. Remains of saiga from the Mesolithic period were discovered in Odesa (Myrne) and Zaporizhzhia oblasts (Kamianna Mohyla), and in the Crimea (Syuren II, Alimovskiy canopy, Zamil Koba, etc.). Remains from the Neolithic, Bronze, and Early Iron Ages come from Odesa (Usatove) and Kherson (Mykhailivka) oblasts. The analysis of the history of the saiga’s distribution range in Ukraine allows us to determine the probability of the first migrations of the species to the region during the Pleistocene (MIS 5– MIS2). The relatively large number of localities where saiga remains have been found suggests that favourable conditions for the species’ existence were formed in the territory of modern Ukraine at that time. Xerophytization of steppe phytocoenoses contributed to the saiga’s spread throughout history. Until the mid-18th century, the saiga was a common game species, hunted for its meat and horns. The reduction of the species’ range and population in Ukraine took place during the 18th century under the pressure of uncontrolled hunting, intensification of agriculture (which led to changes in natural habitats and seasonal migration routes), nomadic cattle breeding (which caused depression of pastures and competition for trophic resources), and, in some cases, climatic disasters associated with excessive snow cover. The final disappearance of the species from the fauna of Ukraine occurred in the first half of the 19th century. The data on morphological parameters of saiga remains from some Pleistocene and Holocene archaeological sites are presented.
Does the WTO Promote Trade? A Meta-analysis
Authors: Campos Rodolfo G. , Larch Mario , Timini Jacopo , Vidal Elena , Yotov Yoto V.
Published: September 2024

The World Trade Organization (WTO) and its predecessor, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), are key institutions of the multilateral trading system. While the WTO is generally assumed to promote trade by reducing tariffs and non-tariff barriers, existing estimates of its effect on trade vary widely in magnitude, sign, and significance. We collected 2,547 estimates from 71 papers and applied meta-analysis techniques to conduct a systematic quantitative review of the literature, complementing it with established advances in gravity models to obtain estimates of the WTO’s impact on trade. The meta-analysis shows that, on average, the literature finds a significant and positive trade effect of the WTO, although the estimates depend strongly on study characteristics. Moreover, we find no evidence of publication bias. Our structural gravity estimates confirm these findings: the WTO increases trade. However, the effects are heterogeneous across sectors and income levels of trading partners.
HQ workshop in science teaching: a perception between environmental issues and social inequality
Authors: Corrêa Savio Figueira , Macedo Shirley da Silva Macedo , Vieira Karla Moreira Vieira , Monnerat Cecilia Silva Monnerat
Published: September 2024

Given the importance of pursuing interdisciplinary research and addressing the socio-environmental problems that affect our communities, this work explores the relationship between energy, the environment, and social inequality. To this end, the story of the film "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" was presented to a 5th-grade class at a public school in João Monlevade, MG, Brazil, with a focus on contextualizing the use of renewable energy through wind power. By using this film as a basis, it was possible to highlight the importance of environmental preservation and the sustainable use of energy in a way that is accessible to students of this age group, through the simple language of Physics concepts. To qualitatively assess the students' acquired knowledge, a comic book workshop was conducted, where each student created their own comic strip about the use of wind power, contextualized within their own social and economic realities. This approach allowed for a qualitative observation of the students' content assimilation, demonstrating the effectiveness of this resource in the interdisciplinary learning process.

Aquinas on the Socratic Paradox and the Problem of Virtue
Authors: Reising Matthew K.
Published: September 2024

In Natural Reason and Natural Law, James Carey states that, for Aquinas, the good is pursued necessarily as according to the first principle of practical reason, but then makes the stunning admission that humans really seem to almost always pursue 'the best'. Such an admission
opens Thomistic natural law to an attack from the Socratic paradox that all evil stems from ignorance, a philosophical premise that implicitly undermines all moral responsibility. While Carey and others consider Aquinas' position as ultimately defensible, they nowhere consider its Socratic
articulation. This paper therefore offers a new analysis of Aquinas' rejection of Socrates' paradox.
James Harrington and the English Agrarian Law
Authors: Knight Mishael
Published: September 2024

It is typically understood that the first explicit advocacy of agrarian laws in early modern English political thought was made by James Harrington in the 1650s. This narrative, however, has overlooked the Tudor Statutes of Tillage (originating 1489–90), which aimed at maintaining
a broad distribution of landholding and were identified by both sixteenth- and seventeenth-century observers as agrarian laws. Having demonstrated this, a discourse concerning agrarian laws can be identified, which consequently contextualizes and explicates Harrington's redefinition of agrarian
laws. Understanding the nature of Harrington's contribution further allows a reassessment of his immediate reception.

The research method used is qualitative, based on phenomenological studies. The results of the study show that (1) Historically the madrasas in the city of Medan are older than the Integrated Islamic Schools. Madrasas in Medan City have existed since before independence, namely in 1918, while the Integrated Islamic School only appeared in the 1990s.

Forms of rivalry in several aspects (a) the acquisition of the number of students, (b) curriculum, (c) learning, (d) financing of education, (e) facilities and infrastructure, (f) standardization of human resources. This rivalry has caused a decline in the image and presence of madrasas in society, and other facts show that several madrasas had to close due to the absence of students enrolling. However, this rivalry only occurs and has an impact on the status of private institutions, (3) the continuity of madrasas in the midst of the popularity of integrated Islamic schools is very dependent on the ability to maintain heritage and consistency in knowledge which are the characteristics of both. In addition, the transfer of authority from the Ministry of Education and Culture to the Ministry of Religion for integrated Islamic schools can be a solution so that a special policy for integrated Islamic schools is born.

Published: September 2024

This study aims to determine the perceptions of disadvantaged women in the city of Medan regarding Sharia rules (Islamic law) on micro-equity financing instruments, mudharabah and musyarakah. This research was conducted through a survey method on 330 questionnaires on members of Islamic microfinance institutions (IsMFI), namely, the BMT Ar-Ridhwan sharia cooperative. The data obtained were analyzed using a structural equation model. The study results reveal that female BMT Ar-Ridhwan borrowers consider the sharia rules of mudharabah and musyarakah to require high moral and ethical values ​​and dynamic payment performance. They know several other basic provisions, such as liquidation of a business, transfer of shares, disclosure of information and termination of business. The overall findings of this study indicate that perceived Sharia rules are similar to those commonly used in general business partnerships between Muslims. It also shows that less fortunate entrepreneurs will accept rules that are easy to understand and benefit their interests. Furthermore, this indicates that the respondents' experience of microfinance and business operations does not significantly influence their perceptions of mudharabah and musyarakah instruments. The findings of this study can help IsMIF BMT Ar-Ridhwan take the initiative to offer mudharabah and musyarakah as micro-equity financing to economically disadvantaged women entrepreneurs.

These three things, namely faith, Islam and ihsan can be used as fences or signs for each individual so that they are not easily drawn into things that are contrary to religion or prevailing norms. The integration of the material is realized by making it into one discussion, and not implemented partially.
Hadis-Hadis Tentang Penyakit Hati dan Dampaknya Negatifnya Terhadap Kesehatan
Authors: S Muhammad Arief , Adnir Farid
Published: September 2024

Negative reactions from those around a person struggling with mental health issues are common. This is due to widespread ignorance about mental health issues. Some people are unable to accept more scientific explanations of mental illness and opt out of medical and psychiatric treatment due to cultural and religious norms that attribute mental health problems to supernatural causes. With regard to the Hadiths on liver diseases, this study aims to analyze the variety of Hadiths that talk about liver diseases and their impact on one's health. The research method used is the Maudu'i method, which means that the author examines the traditions that correlate to the research topic. The results of the study explain that in the hadith the disease of the heart is called wahn, which is the fear of death, love of luxury, love of what is in the world with mere lust. The disease of the heart will result in riya', ujub, takabur, ghadab, ghibah, and hasad. Then the way to prevent the disease of the heart from dwelling in oneself is, prejudging well, getting closer to Allah, dhikr, eating from halal products because something halal will change a pure body, and finally fasting, because fasting can restrain lust.

Published: September 2024

The problem encountered at Al Maksum Percut Sei Tuan High School is that classroom learning tends to use a direct approach that focuses on the teacher (teacher center) while students are passive when learning activities take place. This passivity makes students feel bored and has an impact on low student learning outcomes. In addition, the inappropriate selection of methods, models and strategies is also a factor in not optimizing the learning outcomes obtained by students. This study aims to determine student learning outcomes before and after the application of the problem solving learning model. This class action research was conducted in two cycles, where each cycle consisted of four stages, namely: planning, implementation, observation and reflection. The subjects in this study were students of class XI SMA Al maksum precut Sei Tuan which amounted to 25 students. The learning outcomes obtained by students in cycle I obtained 13 students who were complete in learning, and 12 students who were not complete with a percentage of completeness of only 52% and an average score of 65.32. And in cycle II, 21 students were obtained who were complete and 4 people who were not complete, with the percentage of completeness reaching 84% and the average score was 72.08.Keywords: Education innovation, Human resources, Islamic education.

marxismo a la ideología posmoderna de la identidad de género
Authors: Guavita Carlos Orlando
Published: September 2024

Los postulados del marxismo han sentado las bases para una ideología que pretende una nueva concepción antropológica del ser humano. Es la ideología de la identidad de género. La abolición de la propiedad privada, la lucha de clases, la educación estatal, la religión política estatal y las nuevas relaciones sociales son los elementos centrales para deconstruir la cultura a semejanza del deseo y del placer, validados y legalizados por el establecimiento de nuevos derechos, so pena del juicio y castigo social. Este artículo reflexiona sobre una ideología posmoderna que afecta la familia, la educación y la cultura.

Published: September 2024

Many national governments have adopted the Sister City collaboration model as a strategy for regional urban development, aiming to promote international collaboration and enhance urban growth at the provincial level. However, in countries with decentralized governance, the effectiveness of this model is often compromised, often resulting in limited outcomes and impacts. Drawing upon cases in Thailand, this study investigates the implementation dynamics and obstacles faced by provincial administrations and suggests practical remedies. Employing a qualitative methodology, the study analyzes a dataset of literature reviews, content analyses, surveys, and in-depth interviews. According to our research, there are 90 sister city agreements from 38 provinces, with 47 ongoing partnerships across 21 provinces. Findings indicate that challenges stem from a lack of cohesion among involved parties, manifesting in inadequate regulations; vague planning; inappropriate alliances; frequent leadership turnovers; resistance to change; resource constraints; and absent evaluation mechanisms. Implementing the model necessitates enhanced coordination among various governmental tiers–central, provincial, and local–beyond current levels. In conclusion, to enhance collaborative efficacy, the study advocates for the initiation of systematic evaluation, adjustment, and harmonization across all participating organizations.

The agricultural and livestock industry is a cornerstone of Brazil’s economy, wielding substantial influence over the nation’s GDP and food security. Within this framework, the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAPA) plays an essential role in shaping and implementing policies geared towards fostering the sustainable growth of these critical sectors through public agreements. In this context, the equitable and efficient allocation of resources requires a thorough understanding of these agreements’ geographical distribution and temporal dynamics. This study meticulously scrutinizes the geographic spread, temporal progression, and inherent characteristics of the agreements signed by MAPA from 2019 to 2023. It examines the agreements using data mining techniques, encompassing clustering and statistical analyses. The research unveiled a pronounced regional distribution in the agreements, with Brazil’s Southern region emerging as the primary destination of grants, closely shadowed by the Southeast. Consequently, the study offers a holistic comprehension of the geographical dispersion, temporal evolution, and intrinsic traits of the agreements brokered by MAPA. Such insights serve as invaluable assets, empowering policymakers to formulate more efficient and targeted strategies for nurturing Brazil’s agricultural and livestock industry concerning the allocation of resources and the elaboration of agreements.
Real Estate Industry and Technology: A Text Mining Approach Using Patent Big Data
Authors:   Korea Real Estate Policy Association, Kim Young-Hyuck , Park Soon-Mahn
Published: September 2024

In Korea, the real estate industry is generally characterized by small-scale operations, low added value, and slow adoption of advanced technologies and innovations compared to industries such as manufacturing. The complexity, conservatism, opacity, and information asymmetry within the industry also present significant barriers to innovation. Recently, however, innovative technologies have begun to converge under the umbrella of “PropTech” (Property Technology). It remains to be seen whether this industrial innovation represents a sudden shift or is part of the real estate industry's long-term transformation. This study examines the relationship between the real estate industry and technology. It acquired and analyzed 145,790 patent application documents from KIPRIS by searching for the keywords “real estate,” “housing,” “commercial building,” “apartment,” and “land.” Text mining techniques were employed to uncover basic statistics and trace technological evolution. The analysis methods included keyword frequency analysis, word cloud visualization, co-occurrence analysis, and N-gram analysis. The most frequently mentioned terms were “real estate,” “information,” and “service,” indicating a strong demand for information services within the real estate industry. The evolution of patent filings reflects broader technological trends. From 1970 to 1995, patents focused on architecture and construction-related technologies. Between 1996 and 2015, patent activity shifted towards internet, wireless, and telecommunications technologies. More recently, patents have increasingly centered on technologies related to the fourth industrial revolution, including platforms, AI, and blockchain. This aligns with the observed growth of the real estate industry and the increasing focus on PropTech as a means to enhance service quality and efficiency through technological innovation. Furthermore, emerging IT technologies such as the internet, blockchain, and artificial intelligence are being applied across real estate services, management, and transactions. In conclusion, this study finds that the Korean real estate industry is actively embracing IT technologies. This trend suggests that the PropTech phenomenon has been evolving since the late 1990s, even before the term “PropTech” gained widespread recognition.
Becoming A Smart Citizen, A Study of Digital Literacy and Perceptions of Smart Life Changes
Authors:   Korea Real Estate Policy Association, Kim Meeyoung , Ko Jinsoo
Published: September 2024

This study focuses on citizens as both policy objects and actors in smart cities. This is because the ultimate goal of smart cities is not the construction of smart urban infrastructure, but the creation of 'smart citizens'. The study analyzed the level of citizens' smart capabilities and awareness of smart life changes among Busan citizens, and found that digital literacy varied significantly by respondents' personal characteristics such as gender, age, and income. Awareness of smart life changes was also analyzed to be influenced by income and age. In addition, respondents' personal characteristics had a direct effect on awareness of smart life changes and an indirect effect through digital literacy. In order to build citizen-centric smart cities, it is necessary to develop policies to reduce the gender, class, and generational gaps in smart capabilities and institutionalize efforts to ensure digital citizenship.
Funding Plan for Urban Convergence Special Zones: Focusing on the Case of Daejeon Urban Convergence Special Zone
Authors:   Korea Real Estate Policy Association, Kim Sangjin , Jun Jaebum
Published: September 2024

The full-scale population decline is causing concentration in the metropolitan area and population decline in local areas. As the problem of lack of growth engine has come to the fore, the government is promoting the selection of ‘urban fusion special zones’ centered on the five major metropolitan cities in the provinces and the restoration of the original city center. The ‘urban fusion special zones’ show characteristics of urban regeneration, and the important thing is the feasible financing method. This study proposes the ‘REITs utilization method’ as a financing method for the ‘Daejeon Metropolitan City Urban Fusion Special Zone’ considering the location conditions with the metropolitan area and industrial characteristics. It explains the importance of the ‘REITs dividend’ proposal and public-private cooperation in the ‘REIT profit model’ during the redevelopment project period. Based on the MozaReits structure, it is further emphasized that the increased role of ‘anchor REITs’ and ‘guarantee agency’ is important in terms of business stability. It proposes the REITs structure by structuring the transparency, publicness, and public-private cooperation system with REITs as the project implementer. Compared to other business methods, the ‘REITs method’ is a business method with high feasibility when developing the ‘urban fusion special zone’ based on publicness. We hope that follow-up research will be conducted on ‘REITs utilization plans’ based on business viability.
