İsrail’in Gazze’deki İşgalci Statüsü ve İsrail-Hamas Savaşında Uluslararası İnsancıl Hukukun Sivillere Sağladığı Korumalar
Authors: Demirel Naim
Published: September 2024

İsrail ve Hamas arasında 2006 yılından itibaren süregelen çatışmalarda uluslararası insancıl hukukun uygulama alanı günümüze kadar tartışma konusu olmuştur. Literatürde bu çatışmalar, özellikle uluslararası olan veya uluslararası olmayan silahlı çatışma ayrımı ışığında incelenmektedir. Bu noktada Filistin’in devlet statüsü ve Hamas’ın silahlı örgüt statüsü önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu iki tartışmalı konuya ilişkin uluslararası toplumda henüz ortak bir fikir oluşmamıştır. Bu sebeple çatışmaların sınıflandırılması karmaşık bir yapıya sahiptir ve birçok parametreye bağlıdır. Bunun yanı sıra; İsrail’in 2005’ten itibaren Gazze’den çekilmiş olması, yıllardır İsrail’in Gazze’deki kontrolünün niteliğini ve işgal hukukunun uygulanabilirliğini tartışma konusu hâline getirmiştir. İsrail’in yıllardır Gazze’nin hava sahasını, karasularını ve sınır kapılarını kontrol etmesi ise bu tartışmayı körüklemektedir. Nitekim, Hamas ile İsrail arasında günümüze kadar gerçekleşen saldırılarda, İsrail’in kolaylıkla Gazze üzerinde etkin kontrol kurabildiği ve Gazze halkını dilediği gibi temel ihtiyaçlardan mahrum bırakabildiği gözler önüne serilmiştir. Tüm bu çatışmalar gölgesinde korunmaya en muhtaç olan kesim ise masum sivil halktır. Uluslararası insancıl hukuk, çatışmalar sırasında sivil halkın korunması için teamül hukuku niteliğinde olan bir dizi kurallar içermektedir. Silahlı çatışmaların türü ve İsrail’in işgalci statüsü esas alındığında, İsrail’den, hem işgal hukukundan kaynaklanan Lahey Sözleşmesi hükümlerine hem de Cenevre Sözleşmesi hükümlerine riayet etmesi beklenecektir. Bunun yanında ayrıca İsrail’in uyması ve gözetmesi gereken ve sivillerin temel insan haklarını koruyan asgari standartlar da mevcuttur.

Published: September 2024

La lectura constituye un pilar fundamental en la formación de las personas, pues es por medio de esta que se puede obtener un sinnúmero de beneficios como alcanzar más conocimientos, mejorar la comprensión de textos, leer con fluidez, optimizar el léxico, fortalecer el pensamiento crítico reflexivo, entre otros. Sin embargo, es muy evidente que los estudiantes de los diferentes niveles de educación no practican la lectura, a pesar de contar con muchos   recursos que facilitan el acceso a materiales de lectura.   El propósito de este estudio es conocer los factores que afectan el hábito de la lectura, los mismos que perjudican significativamente la adquisición de varias habilidades entre las cuales se encuentra la comprensión lectora. Para la elaboración de este trabajo se ha empleado una metodología mixta, es decir, cualitativa y cuantitativa. Los instrumentos de recolección de información a emplearse en este estudio son: un test de lectura, una entrevista y una encuesta. La población de estudio está conformada por 90 estudiantes de décimo año de Educación General Básica Superior pertenecientes a tres paralelos distintos.  Se concluye mencionando que existen cuatro factores que inciden directamente en el desarrollo del hábito de la lectura como lo son: el sociocultural, el tecnológico, el institucional y el personal. Además de ello, los estudiantes de hoy en día invierten muy poco tiempo en la lectura y más se dedican a realizar otro tipo de actividades, que, en su gran mayoría, se asocian con los dispositivos tecnológicos y el internet.

Understanding the inherent characteristics of a local agricultural industry is imperative in designing policies that are responsive to the context, needs, and challenges of its stakeholders. Grounded in this premise, this study unpacked the complexities of the mango industry in the Island Garden City of Samal, an agricultural city in the southern Philippines. Specifically, it aims to understand its labor dynamics and market arrangements using a qualitative approach. This study presents an overview of the mango production cycle in the garden city, which includes the corresponding labor requirements and market of the local mango industry. In terms of labor, aside from the quantity and quality of labor needed, this paper also presents the roles of men and women that are inherent in local mango production. Likewise, the study also enumerates the different issues and challenges faced by the local mango producers. These issues and challenges were concerns related to erratic prices, labor needs, and high production costs. Moreover, the study offers explanations for the existing labor dynamics in the garden city. This includes the interplay between the material nature of the commodity and the gender dynamics in the labor force. In addition, a discussion on the varying quality standards of different target markers is also provided. Finally, this study also explained the rationale behind the prevailing contractual arrangements within the local mango industry. The results presented in this paper offer insights into designing context-based programs and policies, which could further support the local mango industry.
Analytical Cross-sectional Study on the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices on Antimicrobial Use and Resistance among Backyard Swine Raisers in Baybay City, Philippines
Authors: Albios Mary Evan Dhale , Olana Kenny Oriel
Published: September 2024

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health concern, wherein microorganisms become resistant to antimicrobial drugs used in the treatment of human diseases and is linked to the misuse and overuse of antimicrobial drugs in food-producing animals. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of backyard swine raisers in Baybay City, Leyte, the Philippines, toward antimicrobial drugs and usage in the context of AMR. Data were gathered from 303 randomly selected backyard swine raisers in 28 villages of Baybay City through in-depth interviews. KAP levels were determined by performing descriptive statistics. Predictors and associated variables were analyzed through univariable and multivariable regression analyses. The majority of the respondents have poor to moderate knowledge (98.68%), moderate attitudes (68.65%), and poor practices (82.18%) on the use of antimicrobials. Attainment of a college degree (adjusted β = 1.32, p = 0.0021) was significantly associated with the respondents' knowledge. Meanwhile, the respondents’ attitude levels were positively associated with vocational (adjusted β = 4.84, p = 0.0004) and college education (adjusted β = 2.11, p = 0.0444). Overall, the educational attainment (college: adjusted β = 1.58, p = 0.0068), the knowledge mean (β = 5.25, p < 0.0001), and the attitude mean (β = 1.11, p < 0.0001) significantly influenced the respondents’ practices on antimicrobial use. Education is crucial in improving the farmers' KAP regarding the use of antimicrobials. To help prevent the furtherance of AMR, it is essential for government agencies to enhance the farmers’ KAP levels by conducting training on antimicrobial use and facilitating AMR awareness seminars.
Preserving the Heritage "Kapok Tree" [Ceiba pentandra (L.) Gaertn.] of the University of the Philippines through Vegetative Propagation
Authors: Piñon Albert , Barua Leonardo , Mendoza Marlo
Published: September 2024

A Ceiba pentandra at the University of the Philippines Los Baños was a centennial tree that was felled as it posed a threat to the community. To preserve its historical value and sustain its lineage, a low-cost technique of vegetative propagation was undertaken by determining the effect of varying leaf numbers (one, two, and three leaves) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) doses (0, 100, and 500 ppm). Results of the analysis of variance revealed significant (P = 0.012) to highly significant (P < 0.001) variations in all rooting parameters after 2 wk, whereas significant (P = 0.037) only in terms of shoot length after 3 and 4 wk. Meanwhile, significant (P = 0.002) variations due to IBA were observed only on shoot length after 2 wk but not after 3 and 4 wk. A comparison of the means revealed the superiority of cuttings with the greatest number (3) of leaves. Furthermore, root traits and cutting sizes associations obtained positive and significant (r2 = 0.17–0.98, P < 0.0001). Both the weakest and strongest associations were detected in cuttings after 2 wk, whereas increasing percentages of the highest, positive, and significant correlations (r2 = 0.80–0.98, P < 0.0001) were observed from Weeks 2–4, suggesting that the effect of varying carbohydrate may be detected after 2 wk and tend to be more pronounced the longer they stayed in the improvised rooting chamber.

Published: September 2024

Natural forest cover in Sabah has been decreasing across all forest types for more than two decades since the 1990s, being replaced mostly by man-made forests. This contributes to the overall degradation of the forest ecosystem, which changes soil nutrient content and subsequently modifies forest species composition, as well as vegetation structure. This study investigated the association between soil nutrients and tree species in unlogged and logged tropical lowland forests in Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia. A total of eight and 27 sampling plots were established in randomly placed locations at the Danum Valley Conservation Area representing the unlogged site, as well as the Sapat Kalisun area of the Ulu Segama Forest Complex representing the logged site. Soil samples at two depths (0–5 cm; 5–10 cm) were collected from each plot and analyzed for soil nutrients: total N, available P, inorganic N (NO3 – and NH4 +), exchangeable cations (K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and Na+), exchangeable Al3+, and exchangeable acidity. Results showed that certain exchangeable cations and soil nutrient concentrations were greater in the unlogged forest compared to the logged forest except for K+, Na+, and inorganic N. Greater inorganic N concentrations were observed in the logged forest, hence suggesting a dominant shift toward inorganic N in the soil. PCA results indicated that exchangeable acidity and exchangeable Al3+ were correlated to logged forests, whereas Ca2+ and Mg2+ were associated with unlogged forests. CCA ordination showed the existence of association between specific tree species with K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and Na+ in the unlogged forest only. Logging, to some extent, influenced the status of certain soil nutrients but their association with tree species was complex. This could be attributed to the heterogeneous habitat resulting from past logging disturbances.

Democracia em perigo: compreendendo as ameaças das milícias digitais no Brasil
Authors: Morais José Luís Bolzan de , Lôbo Edilene , Nemer David
Published: September 2024

O uso de fórmulas algorítmicas para minerar dados extraídos das redes sociais, para elaborar perfis e induzir escolhas na política, além de resvalar na privacidade, reduz o debate de ideias que formam o pensamento livre, transformando as democracias em vultos espectrais. Esse cenário de disrupção, de hashtagzição da vida coletiva reduzindo o diálogo a rosnados coléricos e fake news, facilitou a desinformação e criou ambiente fértil para as milícias digitais, maquinaria da guerrilha política virtual para ganhar preferência dos eleitores indecisos. Indagando sobre o futuro da democracia nesses quadrantes, o presente artigo busca conceituar e caracterizar tais organizações, que desafiam o sistema de justiça analógico, desconectado da velocidade e estratégias dessa nova realidade. A abordagem do financiamento dessas organizações por grupos de empresários, além da irrigação de recursos públicos oriundos de gabinetes parlamentares, também oferece reflexões sobre o controle do abuso do poder político e econômico que impactam as eleições.
Justiça Eleitoral e (des)igualdade de gênero: uma análise feminista do Tribunal Superior Eleitoral brasileiro
Authors: Silva Salete Maria da
Published: September 2024

Este texto apresenta reflexões analítico-críticas sobre a Justiça Eleitoral brasileira, focando, especialmente, no Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE). Trata-se de uma contribuição ao debate em torno da (des)igualdade de gênero no Poder Judiciário e da luta pela reparação de injustiças históricas, observando, a partir de lentes feministas, o lugar das mulheres na composição do referido Tribunal, o tratamento dado às questões de gênero em suas normativas internas e em suas campanhas, cursos, eventos e publicações com vistas à ampliação da participação feminina e à concretização da justiça de gênero no âmbito do TSE. Os resultados apontam que importantes iniciativas têm sido adotadas no sentido de incluir as agendas de gênero, com ênfase nos direitos das mulheres, nas práticas e discursos desta Justiça Especializada, porém, apesar dos importantes e tímidos avanços, ainda existem inúmeras e lamentáveis permanências, especialmente no que tange à prevalência masculina na ocupação dos cargos de ministros, na direção da Escola Judiciária Eleitoral (EJE) e na adoção de linguagem androcêntrica não somente nos comunicados oficiais, mas nos materiais de (in)formação e divulgação científica, sem olvidar dos riscos de uso retórico e meramente instrumental das temáticas em apreço. Por fim, algumas considerações e sugestões são apresentadas, visando incrementar as discussões sobre o tema, mas sem qualquer pretensão de oferecimento de receitas e/ou de esgotamento do debate.
The Authority of The Integrated Assessment Team For Legal Certainty Regarding Rehabilitation For Suspected Drug Abusers
Authors: Bratadewa Yuda Pratama Muchamad , Sihotang Erikson , Suandika I Nyoman
Published: September 2024

This study aims to analyze the authority of the Integrated Assessment Team (TAT) in determining rehabilitation for narcotics abuse victims and to identify obstacles in implementing rehabilitation recommendations, especially for those undergoing legal proceedings. The research uses a normative legal method, supported by empirical data, relying on primary legal materials such as laws and regulations, and secondary materials like literature related to the authority of TAT. The findings show that the TAT holds a crucial role in recommending medical and social rehabilitation for narcotics abusers. However, several obstacles hinder the effective implementation of TAT's recommendations, including poor coordination among law enforcement agencies and the limited resources available to support the rehabilitation process. Additionally, the social stigma surrounding narcotics abuse further complicates the rehabilitation process. The discussion emphasizes the need for stronger inter-agency coordination and increased support for rehabilitation programs to ensure better outcomes for narcotics abuse victims. The study concludes that despite the TAT’s authority being clearly regulated, several implementation challenges remain, which require urgent attention to improve the effectiveness of rehabilitation for narcotics abusers within the legal system.

Authors: İpek Rojan , Akar Selahattin , Aşık Abdulvahit , Ballı Haci
Published: September 2024

Aim: Neonatal seizures are different from seizures seen at other ages in terms of etiology, clinical follow-up, treatment and prognosis. The purpose of this study was to determine the etiological causes and demographic characteristics of neonates admitted due to seizures in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Methods: This is an original study involving newborns hospitalized for seizures in the neonatal intensive care unit at Adıyaman University Training and Research Hospital. The files of 40 patients followed up due to seizures between September 2016 and July 2021, were examined retrospectively. 40 out of 45 patients satisfied the inclusion criteria. The files of 40 patients were retrospectively analyzed in terms of age, sex, gestational age, birth weight, mode of delivery, APGAR score, seizure etiology, intervention and treatment, electroencephalography (EEG), trans fontanel ultrasonography (USG) and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, length of hospital stay, and mortality rates.
Results: The study group consisted of 40 patients, 21 girls (52.5%) and 19 boys (47.5%). Twenty-seven (67%) of the patient group were born at term and 13 (33%) preterm. The mean birth week was 38, and the mean birth weight was 2900 g. The underlying seizure etiology was unknown in 37.5% (n = 15) of cases, while the most common known etiological cause was hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, seen in 20% (n = 8). The mortality rate in our patient group was 22.5% (n = 9).
Conclusion: Among the known causes of neonatal convulsions, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in term babies and germinal matrix bleeding in preterm babies were found to be the most common causes. However, despite all kinds of examinations and evaluations, the cause of a significant portion of them has not been determined. Long-term follow-up of newborns with convulsions is required to detect early neurodevelopmental problems that may develop during follow-up.

Published: September 2024

Background: The use of non-pharmacological therapies is important in reducing the complications and consequences of diabetes. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of group reality therapy on adherence to treatment regimens and health indicators in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This randomized controlled trial was performed on 60 patients with diabetes who were referred to Amir Al-Momenin Hospital in Ahvaz. Patients were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (N = 30) or the control group (N = 30). Both groups completed health indicator tests, questionnaires on demographic and clinical information, perceived adherence to the treatment regimen, and the Perceived Stress Scale. The intervention group received reality therapy training, which consisted of 10 sessions of 45 minutes each (one session per week) over 2 months, delivered through lectures and face-to-face training sessions. The control group received only routine hospital interventions. The collected data were then analyzed using a one-way t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: Twenty-seven patients in the intervention group and 27 in the control group completed the study. After analyzing the data, it was revealed that the mean age of the patients in the control group was 55.30 ± 7.95, while it was 51.96 ± 10.55 in the intervention group. Findings showed that scores for the dimensions of adherence to the treatment regimen in the intervention group significantly increased compared to the control group (P < 0.001). Additionally, the mean health indicators in the intervention group showed a significant decrease compared to the control group (P < 0.001). Moreover, the mean blood sugar level of patients in the intervention group decreased from 229.63 ± 98.76 to 123.59 ± 42.03. Likewise, the level of glycosylated hemoglobin and blood cholesterol significantly decreased from 8.19 ± 2.09 to 6.11 ± 1.86 and from 176.52 ± 51.53 to 146.22 ± 34.68, respectively. Conclusions: A reality therapy training program can be effectively used to increase treatment adherence and improve health indicators in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Influenza A/H3N2 and Its Co-infection with Other Respiratory Pathogens: Higher Pneumonia Rates and Prolonged Hospital Stays in Pediatric Patients
Authors: Sun Runyun , Cheng Ying , Hu Hongbo
Published: September 2024

Background: In pediatric populations, influenza viruses such as influenza B, influenza A/H1N1, and influenza A/H3N2 present unique clinical challenges due to their distinct characteristics. Co-infections with other respiratory pathogens can lead to more severe disease progression in children, although the specific impacts of these co-infections are not yet fully understood. Objectives: To explore the differences in clinical characteristics among children with single infections of influenza B, influenza A/H1N1, and influenza A/H3N2, and to assess the impact of co-infections with other respiratory pathogens on the severity of disease in children. Methods: This retrospective study evaluated the severity of pediatric influenza hospitalizations during 2022 - 2023 by correlating virus types/subtypes with clinical outcomes, including pneumonia incidence, mechanical ventilation requirements, PICU admissions, and duration of hospital stay. Results: The study included 1,380 pediatric patients with influenza: 343 with influenza A/H1N1, 678 with A/H3N2, and 359 with influenza B. In children aged six and older, influenza A/H3N2 infection resulted in higher pneumonia rates and longer hospital stays compared to influenza A/H1N1 and influenza B (P < 0.05). Laboratory result differences were also observed between single infections of influenza A and B in this age group. The co-infection rate for influenza A/H1N1 was 3.5%, significantly lower than that for H3N2 (11.9%) and influenza B (10.6%) (P < 0.05). Clinical differences were noted between single and co-infections of influenza A/H3N2 and B, with co-infections showing higher pneumonia rates and longer hospital stays compared to single infections (P < 0.05). Conclusions: In children aged six and older, influenza A/H3N2 is associated with higher rates of pneumonia and longer hospital stays. Co-infections involving Influenza B or A/H3N2 with additional respiratory pathogens further increase the risk of pneumonia and extend the duration of hospitalization.

Authors: Bagheri Sheykhangafshe Farzin , Farahani Hojjatollah , Dehghani Mohsen , Fathi-Ashtiani Ali
Published: September 2024

Background: Chronic pain (CP) is defined as persistent, severe pain lasting for more than three months and is often associated with psychological distress (PD) and learned helplessness (LH). Objectives: This study aims to explore the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), PD, and LH in individuals with CP. Methods: The research employed a descriptive, causal-comparative methodology. The study population consisted of patients referred to pain and physiotherapy clinics in Tehran between 2022 and 2023. From a pool of 300 CP patients, 150 with high-grade PTSD severity and 150 with low-grade PTSD severity were purposively selected. Participants completed PTSD (Blevins et al., 2015), PD (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995), and LH (Quinnells & Nelson, 1988) questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS-24 software, with multivariate analysis of variance used for data analysis (P < 0.005). Results: Among the 300 patients, 52.6% were married, 44.0% held a bachelor’s degree, and 37.4% had musculoskeletal disorders. The findings revealed significant differences in PD and LH levels between the two groups (P < 0.001). Chronic pain patients with high-grade PTSD exhibited greater levels of depression (F = 211.09), anxiety (F = 231.06), stress (F = 374.85), and LH (F = 457.79) compared to those with low-grade PTSD (P < 0.001). Conclusions: This research highlights the significant impact of PTSD severity on PD and LH in individuals with CP. These results emphasize the need to consider psychological factors in the treatment and management of CP.
Is undergraduates’ adoption of the Internet of Things rational? The role of risk perception
Authors: Tsai Chun-Yen
Published: September 2024

Users’ intentions and behavior when using the Internet of Things (IoT) are essential issues in contemporary technology research. This research used the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model to predict undergraduates’ IoT use intention and behavior in the smart home context. A total of 412 undergraduates at four universities in Taiwan participated in this study. The Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach was utilized to test the hypotheses. The results revealed that undergraduates’ attitudes and subjective norms had a positive effect on their IoT use intention, which, in turn, had effects on their IoT use behavior. This study also found that undergraduates’ risk perception of behavioral control had a negative effect on their IoT use intention. In contrast, their perceived risk of behavioral control had a positive direct effect on their IoT use behavior. This research contributes to the current state of knowledge since the proposed model revealed that undergraduates’ adoption of the Internet of Things might not be entirely rational. Their risk perception of behavioral control might play particular role.
O síle slova : (reflexe dramat a esejů V. Havla o jazyce a komunikaci)
Authors: Madecki Roman
Published: September 2024

Stať pojednává o fenoménu síly slova, jenž je chápán jako následek, který může slovo použité v komunikačním aktu vyvolat. Značná pozornost je mu věnována již v biblických textech, v nichž je slovo považováno za manifestaci lidské moci a skutečný čin. Nesprávné používání jazyka vede k nedorozuměním a konfliktům s neblahými důsledky pro jednotlivce i společnost. Uvedenou problematiku reflektují také některé teorie z oblasti filozofie jazyka. K. Bühler v této souvislosti hovoří o impresivní funkci jazyka, J. L. Austin o perlokučním aktu. Uvedené povahy slova si všímal ve svých dramatech, esejích a projevech také Václav Havel. Dle Havla má jazyk ambivalentní povahu, jeho prostřednictvím lze totiž na jedné straně tvořit, a na straně druhé vyvolávat konflikty a ničit. Konflikty však mohou vznikat také jako důsledek různých komunikačních bariér. Tyto bariéry mohou být důsledkem deformace kódu, nemožnosti otevřít komunikační kanál, neexistence vztahu mezi textem a mimojazykovou realitou nebo ztráty identity mluvčího. Konflikt je v tomto smyslu chápán velmi široce, tj. nejen jako nesoulad mezi lidmi, ale také jako rozpor mezi jazykovým kódem, jeho uživateli a světem, v němž se pohybují.

Българското бъдеще време от гледна точка на натуралната морфология
Authors: Bálint Rita
Published: September 2024

Натуралната морфология е една разработена част от Натуралната езикова теория. Тя възниква в края на 70-те години на миналия век и се свързва с имената на Дреслер, Майерталер, Панагл и Вурцел. Тази лингвистична теория предлага идеална теоретична рамка за анализиране на промените в езиците в рамките на тяхната система. Документираната история на българския език е на повече от хиляда години и също е добре проучена. Комбинацията от натуралната морфология и резултатите от българската историческа лингвистика изглежда продуктивна при проверка на споменатата част от натуралната езикова теория и също така дава възможност да се наблюдават нови съответствия, свързани с историческите промени в българския език. Настоящото изследване има за цел да направи кратък преглед на това, как работят принципите на тази теория при историческата промяна на българското бъдеще време.
Зависне клаузе у текстовима седмогодишњака и десетогодишњака : лонгитудинални приступ
Authors: Ivanović Maja , Panić Cerovski Natalija
Published: September 2024

Основни циљ рада је да се испитају постојеће разлике у степену синтаксичке зрелости текстова које су продуковала иста деца у првом разреду и на крају првог обавезног образовног циклуса. Kорпус за ово истраживање сачињавају текстови 42 ученика првог разреда на задату тему, и текстови истих ученика, на исту тему, у поновљеном узимању података након 3 године, тако да је урађена анализа варијансе са поновљеним мерењем. Добијени резултати омогућују увид у то које врсте зависних клауза продукују седмогодишњаци, којим се језичким средствима служе, али и шта им је на том узрасту још увек недоступно, односно како се у квантитативном и квалитативном смислу мења структура зависносложених и вишеструко сложених реченица током раног школског узраста. Резултати овог истраживања показују да су код деце и у млађем и у старијем узрасту најфреквентије изричне, временске и узрочне клаузе, као и да се продукција односних клауза, која представља један од најпоузданијих и најрелевантнијих параметара за мерење степена синтаксичке зрелости текста, стабилно повећава с узрастом, што је показатељ да се синтаксички развој одвија правилно и одговарајућим темпом.

Postoje učitelů základních škol k inkluzivnímu vzdělávání
Authors: Pivarč Jakub
Published: September 2024

Výzkum postojů učitelů k inkluzivnímu vzdělávání (dále IV) představuje v mezinárodním kontextu jedno z prioritních témat. V českém prostředí není IV věnována dostatečná pozornost, přestože pozitivní postoje učitelů jsou nezbytným předpokladem jeho úspěšné realizace. V souladu s teorií plánovaného chování bylo cílem této studie analyzovat záměry učitelů zavádět inkluzivní opatření ve školní praxi v závislosti na sociodemografických faktorech, přesvědčeních, pocitech a jejich vnímané sebeúčinnosti / zdatnosti (self-efficacy) ve vztahu k IV. Jednotlivé složky postojů a self-efficacy byly analyzovány pomocí standardizovaných českých verzí zahraničních škál (AIS – Attitudes Towards Inclusion, ITICS – Intention to Teach in Inclusive Classroom, TEIP – Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practices) na kvótním vzorku 1 434 učitelů z celkem 138 běžných veřejných základních škol ze všech krajů České republiky. Výsledky studie založené na víceúrovňovém hierarchickém modelování dat ukázaly, že prediktory na učitelské úrovni měly významnější efekt než charakteristiky škol (kolektivní postoje a self-efficacy, zkušenost s IV a působení specialisty na škole). Ve vztahu k IV deklarovalo 65 % učitelů negativní přesvědčení a 30 % mělo negativní pocity. Záměry byly naopak relativně vysoké, a pokud měli učitelé vyšší míru přesvědčení o vlastní sebeúčinnosti / vnímané zdatnosti (self-efficacy), byla pravděpodobnost inkluzivního chování vyšší. Ženy v porovnání s muži deklarovaly vyšší míru této ochoty, avšak s narůstající délkou praxe ve školství spíše klesala. Výsledky studie naznačují důležité implikace pro praxi, které jsou v závěru diskutovány.

Implementasi Pasal 45 Qanun Aceh Nomor 12 Tahun 2017 Tentang Irigasi Studi Sengketa Tanah Ulayat Masyarakat Lhoknga dengan Pt. Solusi Bangun Andalas di Kabupaten Aceh Besar
Authors: Renvida Dhiya
Published: September 2024

Pasal 3 Undang-Undang Nomor 5 Tahun 1960 tentang Peraturan Dasar Pokok-Pokok Agraria menyatakan “Pelaksanaan hak ulayat dan hak-hak serupa itu dari masyarakat-masyarakat hukum adat, sepanjang menurut kenyataannya masih ada, harus sedemikian rupa, sehingga sesuai dengan tujuan Nasional dan Negara, yang berdasarkan atas persatuan bangsa serta tidak boleh bertentangan dengan undang-undang dan peraturan-peraturan lain yang lebih tinggi. “Ketidakjelasan dalam peraturan tersebut menimbulkan berbagai penafsiran terhadap tujuan perlindungan hak ulayat masyarakat hukum adat. Bahkan, sering kali ketidakjelasan tersebut dimanfaatkan oleh pihak-pihak tertentu untuk mengabaikan perlindungan hak-hak masyarakat hukum adat. Regulasi yang mengatur tentang masyarakat hukum adat merupakan bentuk pengakuan terhadap keberadaan suatu masyarakat hukum adat di suatu daerah. Hasil penelitian menjelaskan bahwa warga Mon Ikeun Lhoknga mengakui bahwa tanah mereka dirampas oleh PT. Solusi Bangun Andalas untuk pembangunan pabrik semen. Masyarakat adat sangat kecewa dengan Pemerintah Kabupaten Aceh Besar yang tidak serius dalam menyelesaikan kasus ini. Masyarakat berharap masalah ini dapat diselesaikan dengan baik oleh pihak perusahaan. Jika tidak ada titik temu penyelesaian, masyarakat meminta kepada perusahaan/instansi terkait untuk membebaskan seluruh tanah masyarakat dan hak ulayat Kemukiman Lhoknga yang belum diganti rugi dari tahun 1980 hingga saat ini dari sertifikat. Perusahaan PT Solusi Bangun Andalas dan dari Izin Usaha Pertambangan. Kemudian, masyarakat juga meminta agar diberikan akses untuk mengelola lahan mereka, termasuk lahan masyarakat yang terjebak oleh perusahaan dengan mengambil jalan tengah melalui mediasi. Pihaknya telah mengirimkan surat kepada Badan Pertanahan Kabupaten Aceh Besar untuk meminta waktu dan tempat karena ingin menyelesaikan sengketa ini secara kekeluargaan.
Monotheism and Value Monism
Authors: Jakobsen Martin ,   Evangelical Philosophical Society
Published: September 2024

This article addresses the following metaethical questions: how many intrinsic values are there? Robert Adams holds the view that there is only one intrinsic value, a view called “intrinsic value monism,” but does not present any arguments in favor of this view. This paper makes the case that there are good reasons for upholding value monism. I argue that our ability to weigh different values against each other supports value monism and that monotheistic worship also supports monism.
