Authors: Eseadi Chiedu
Published: July 2024

The visually impaired group remains among the most unemployed despite laws designed to facilitate employment opportunities for the disabled population. This review article presents potential strategies for overcoming barriers experienced by students with visual impairments (VIs) during their career transition. An integrative literature review was employed by the authors. The integrative literature review allows authors to produce new frameworks and perspectives on a topic from a range of existing research data and ideas in a significant manner. Results of the literature review suggest that public education, adequate transportation and mobility skills, proper assessment of the students' skill development, the acquisition of relevant social and independent-living skills, adequate training for rehabilitation service providers, adequate access to prints, collaboration among professionals, and early career education and work experience are some of the strategies that can be adopted to help students with VIs overcome most of the challenges they experience in their career transition journey. Adopting the strategies discussed in this article may lead to a successful career transition for these students. One of the implications of this paper is that visually impaired students should be able to adapt to the career environment by acquiring relevant skills and being open to opportunities. Also, specialized job training and placement might make it easier for visually impaired students to find competitive work after earning an academic degree and raise their chances of embarking on a successful career path.

Published: July 2024

This study investigates the integration of Design Thinking in STEM education within an Islamic context, focusing on thermal packaging as a learning module. The research examines differences in STEM Interest, Design Thinking skills, and Subject Knowledge across 7th and 8th-grade students, as well as the relationships between these constructs. A quantitative approach was employed, involving 64 preparatory students from an institute of religious studies in Qatar. Participants engaged in a Design Thinking-based STEM workshop on thermal packaging, followed by a comprehensive survey assessing the three key constructs. The Independent-Samples Mann-Whitney U Test revealed no significant differences between grade levels for STEM Interest (U = 424.500, p = .434), Design Thinking skills (U = 494.000, p = .843), or Subject Knowledge (U = 469.500, p = .873). However, bivariate correlation analysis showed strong positive relationships among the constructs for both grade levels. For 7th-grade students, STEM Interest and Design Thinking Skills were strongly correlated (r = 0.856), while 8th-grade students showed a robust correlation between Design Thinking Skills and Subject Knowledge (r = 0.884). These findings suggest that integrating Design Thinking approaches in STEM education within an Islamic context can effectively enhance students' interest, skills, and knowledge simultaneously. The study highlights the potential of Design Thinking-based STEM workshops to create a synergistic learning environment that aligns with Islamic principles and values while preparing students for contemporary challenges. The research contributes to the growing body of literature on culturally responsive STEM education and provides insights for educators seeking to bridge traditional Islamic teachings with modern technological advancements.

This research aims to analyze the novel "Children of All Nations" by Pramoedya Ananta Toer in the context of the struggle of oppressed women in Dutch colonial society. This analysis uses a feminist approach, focusing on the resistance of marginalized women. This research uses a qualitative descriptive methodology, where reading and note-taking techniques are applied in the data collection process. Reading techniques are used to understand and interpret the content of the text, while note-taking techniques focus on female characters in the novel who experience various types of gender-based oppression and injustice. The results of text analysis show that in the patriarchal culture of the Dutch East Indies colonial era, indigenous women figures such as Nyai Ontosoroh aggressively resisted oppression and fought for the rights of women who were always oppressed and marginalized. This research found that women are often marginalized and disadvantaged in societies dominated by men since the colonial era. In conclusion, it is hoped that the findings of this research will help to better understand the resistance of marginalized women in historical and social contexts.

Home door security currently still uses a manual system using conventional door locks.  The disadvantages of conventional house door locks include that the home owner must ensure that the house key is not owned by a stranger which causes the key to be easily duplicated, as well as the number of house break-ins that cause the security of the house door to be very insecure.  To overcome the problems that occur regarding the security of the house door, the authors created a microcontroller-based door lock system using the nRF24L01+ remote as access control for opening and closing door locks. This door lock system uses 3 microcontrollers, including NodeMCU ESP8266 as a remote. Arduino Uno as the door lock system control unit, as well as the additional NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller as a data logging unit.  The control unit is tasked with making decisions based on commands sent by the remote via radio frequency communication from the nRF24L01+ module.  The command sent by the remote is in the form of opening and closing the door lock which comes from the input button on the remote.  It also provides additional features in the form of data logging by providing input using a limit switch attached to the door. This research got the results, namely the success of the system that is able to respond in less than one second.  The fastest response time gets a value of 0.14 seconds, then the longest response speed gets a value of 0.565 seconds, and the stable response speed gets a value of 0.188 seconds

Titanium alloy material Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) is a type of alloy that has very similar properties to Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5) alloy, which is the most widely used material, but only differs in terms of properties. his tenacity. Ti-6Al-4V ELI has higher ductility and better fracture toughness. In addition, this material also has a good ability to work at high temperatures without losing its main properties. The main properties of this material are corrosion toughness at high temperatures and excellent weight to strength ratio. Referring to these advantages, the alloy material of the Ti-6Al-4V ELI type has been developed in many fields including the field of planting materials in the medical field, the aircraft industry, applications in the field of military weapons, the manufacture of racing vehicle components and also high pressure vessels for storing materials. low-temperature (cryogenic) liquid nitrogen [16].. During the machining process of titanium alloy, many things become obstacles because this material is a material that is difficult to machine. This is because the titanium alloy has high hardness, there is often a reaction between the cutting tool and the workpiece material during the cutting process, and there is an accumulation of high temperatures in the cutting area. Factors cutting speed and feed rate are the two dominant factors on the formation of cutting tool wear, both wear on the face or crater side. Damage to the cutting tool is also followed by damage to the surface of the workpiece being machined or the surface quality of the workpiece. The dominant wear that occurs in the rib face area is wear due to adhesion, notch wear, while wear in the crater area is diffusion that occurs during the machining process. Meanwhile, the cutting temperature has a direct impact on the surface quality of the workpiece being machined. The factor of high cutting speed with low feed rate is a combination of factors that provide good cutting force. Meanwhile, insert type cutting tools that have a hard coating, such as TiN, TiAlN and TiCrN play a significant role in the formation of tool wear. Likewise, hard coated tools provide better performance compared to uncoated insert tools. Machining with the Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) method gives better results compared to dry machining and machining using flooded cooling.Keywords: machining, Ti-6Al-4V ELI, cutting tool, materials.

The politics of immigration policy in Malaysia: What is behind the foreign worker’s administration?
Authors: Ajis Mohd Na'eim , Mohd Arshad Mohd Ramlan , Khairi Aizat
Published: July 2024

The formation and implementation of migration policy cannot avoid being influenced by political elements, particularly political actors who have a direct or indirect interest in migration issues. Previous studies show that the influence on the administration and migration policy of a country has created the concept of ‘client politics’, that is, employers have a certain influence on the administration of foreign workers, especially in western countries. This situation has also created two groups which are pro-migrants consisting of employers, fundamental rights groups and trade unions; and anti-migrants are often associated with bureaucrats, nationalists and others. This study has used qualitative methods and has interviewed the informants consisting of government agencies, academics, employers, trade unions and NGOs. The results of the study show that those actors have a certain influence on the management of foreign workers including in the aspects of policy making and implementation. The concept of ‘client politics’ is seen to only apply to certain sectors, especially the manufacturing sector. Therefore, practically in Malaysia it is considered as ‘sectoral client politics’. In conclusion, the influence of both groups is not pursuing the interests of the country but rather on the interests of their respective sectors and entities.

An Examination of Sport Retirement Through Concept Analysis of Occupational Retirement
Authors: Powell Andrea , Berg Patti , Pickett Andrew , Ikiugu Moses , Molitor Whitney
Published: July 2024

Occupational retirement is a major life transition that involves extensive planning, preparation, and coping strategies. Concept analysis was completed to explore adaptation to occupational retirement as a way to further understand sport retirement. Thirty-nine occupational-related articles were included in the final analysis. The primary antecedent to occupational retirement is financial stability, followed by age and family life. Antecedents to sport retirement include graduation, exhaustion of NCAA eligibility, and possibly injury. The antecedents are unique to each type of retirement, but the consequences are similar. Retirees of both types often experience feeling of loss, grief, depression, and identity crisis while adjusting to the change. Achieving adaptation to the life transition of retirement can be enhanced by forming identities outside of work and sports, viewing the change as a gain rather than a loss, and preparing for retirement. Additionally, through this analysis, tools to measure quality of adaptation to occupational retirement were discovered. These tools could be applied to sports in future research.

This paper is a study of the response of tomato fruit to mono and multiple dynamic loadings and the ability to withstand consecutive impacts, which play the most critical role in downgrading and postharvest loss of fresh tomato fruits and designing harvest, and postharvest handling and processing equipment. The fruits were subjected to consecutive impacts by an instrumented pendulum one to three times successive impacts at the same location with the three different impact energy levels: 125, 250, and 500 mJ to establish a comprehensive model and refining by adding various groups of contributing factors to understand better and find out which parameters are more likely to cause and contribute in tomato mechanical damage. Twenty sub-models were evaluated using AIC and R2 values. The parameters of the preferred logistic model consist of response variables (peak contact force, contact time, and Elast), loading conditions (one, two, and three-times impact at the same location), and fruit quality parameter (total soluble solids). Also, another model was suggested for rapid assessment of bruise development.

One technology that is increasingly popular in education is podcasts, which present an engaging and accessible format for delivering learning material. Despite their popularity, there is a lack of research on measuring instruments for educational podcasts. This study aims to produce a valid questionnaire to assess students' perspectives on educational podcast creation in the context of integrating technology in English language teaching. By reviewing the literature, four important aspects of educational podcast creation were identified. The research resulted in 60 statements covering these key aspects. The validity of the instrument was tested through assessments by English language education experts, producing valid results. The validation process involved evaluating statement items qualitatively, considering relevance, feasibility, and suitability to the research objectives. This instrument is expected to contribute significantly to improving English language learning through technology and student collaboration.
