Published: July 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented an opportunity for the education sector, particularly in higher education, to reconsider how they adapt to the post pandemic era. However, several challenges emerge, particularly regarding the communication between teachers and students. This study was undertaken to find out how teachers communicate with students and the communication challenges that they encountered in the post-pandemic period. A qualitative research approach was applied throughout the study, specifically the utilization of the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) method. The data gathered from nineteen (19) teachers was analyzed through thematic analysis. The coding cycle used was vivo coding, followed by eclectic coding and axial coding for refining codes. Responses revealed five specific challenges that was faced by the teachers: (1) pandemic impact on students’ attitudes and learning (2) language and communication barriers, (3) technological challenges in education, (4) lack of infrastructures building gaps in classroom environment, and (5) teachers’ preparedness and effectiveness. It is significant that teachers know how to apply different strategies in order to counter communication challenges that they may face. Few recommendations to improve the findings of the study are discussed at the end of this paper.
Deconstructing transphobic fallacies and unveiling the realities of transgender phenomenology in India: An empirical inquiry
Authors: Basu Deblagno , Mukherjee Soumik
Published: July 2024

The community of the trans-gendered or the gender diverse or the gender nonbinary has been the cause of many debates in recent times over their claim of equal rights of existence in India. While several first world countries have taken or are in the course of taking adequate steps to ensure their inclusion among the general masses, India despite its long history of accommodation and tolerance has fallen behind. This is largely in lieu of the prevalent discourse classifying any form of sexuality and gender that does not conform to the heteronormative gender binary as unnatural and a product of westernisation. This paper endeavours to elucidate and scrutinize the Queer and specifically Trans elements embedded within Indian Mythologies, as manifested in the Veda, Purana, Dharma-Shastra, Kama-shastra, Natyashastra, and numerous other sacred texts. By doing so, it attempts to subvert the prevailing narrative that enforces their exclusion. In addition to that, it provides a comprehensive survey of gender fluidity as depicted in Indian mythologies and ancient texts, thereby illuminating the obscured heritage of progressive advancements in gender studies within the Indian context. Moreover, it underscores the contrived essence and artificial construct of the gender binary, while emphasizing the futility of steadfastly adhering to its purported "naturalness".

A literatura intimista frente aos dilemas do engajamento
Authors: Queler Jefferson
Published: July 2024

Neste artigo, analisarei duas obras da literatura brasileira bastante conhecidas por seus temas engajados, a saber, Quarup e Pessach: a travessia, ambos de 1967, muitas vezes associadas à busca pela revolução brasileira. Seus respectivos autores, Antonio Callado e Carlos Heitor Cony, notabilizaram-se no início de suas carreiras pela construção de narrativas de cunho intimista e psicológico. Em meados da década de 1960, porém, incorporaram a essa dicção temas prezados por setores da esquerda revolucionária, como o recurso à luta armada. É possível que tenham feito essas novas escolhas estéticas embalados tanto pelos deslocamentos análogos que experimentaram no campo jornalístico após o golpe de 1964, quanto por pressões de um público consumidor de arte engajada que vinha se formando havia alguns anos. Dessa forma, talvez seja possível compreender os referidos livros como representações ficcionais de encruzilhadas com as quais se deparavam grupos de esquerda no Brasil naquele período, e não como prescrições de fórmulas revolucionárias.mulas revolucionárias.

Technology has become essential in every industry, including banking. It can optimize work processes and improve customer service. However, the question remains: does it help banks improve business efficiency? This article conducted a panel data regression analysis of commercial banks listed on the Vietnamese stock exchange from 2014 to 2023 to investigate the correlation between internal information technology applications and banks' financial performance. The research results revealed that the internal information technology application (ICTcore), which includes implementing core banking, deploying basic applications, and implementing electronic payments, has a negative correlation with the financial performance of banks. Additionally, the size of the bank and the scale of loans can also impact banking financial performance, while the bank growth rate has no impact on the ROA of banks observed from 2014 to 2023

The study aimed to assess pesticide residues in selected plants in the Billiri and Kaltungo local government areas of Gombe State, Nigeria. Parts of the selected plants, namely Acacia nilotica, Piliostigma reticulatum, and Calotropis procera were randomly collected, including leaves, stem bark, and roots. These plant parts were washed with tap water and de-ionized water to remove air pollutants, then oven-dried at 105°C to eliminate moisture. The dried samples were pulverized using an agate pestle and mortar and sieved through a 0.5 mm mesh to obtain a uniform particle size. Pesticide residues were determined using gas chromatography (GC). Fourteen organochlorine pesticide residues were detected, including Delta-Lindane, Alpha-Lindane, Gamma-Lindane, Heptachlor, Aldrin, Heptachlor Epoxide, Endosulfan I, P,P-DDE, Endrin, Endosulfan II, P,P-DDD, P,P-DDT, and Methoxychlor.Based on the results from all locations, the lowest concentrations were below the maximum residue limit as per FAO/WHO guidelines, which range from 0.001 to 0.5 ppm. The highest concentrations of organochlorine pesticide residues reported in this study may be attributed to environmental pollution and pesticide use, consistent with the mean values reported in soils from Numan LGA in Adamawa State, Nigeria. In the intricate tapestry of modern agriculture, the assessment of organochlorine pesticide residues in the distinct agroecological locales of Billiri and Kaltungo Local Government Areas unravels a compelling narrative of historical legacies, environmental intricacies, and imperatives for change.

A Schiff base ligand derived from salicylaldehyde and 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine was synthesized, along with its Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes (CoL2 and NiL2). These compounds were characterized by melting point/decomposition temperature, solubility, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, infrared analysis, and UV-visible spectrophotometry. The metal-ligand ratio in the complexes is 1:2. All complexes exhibited low molar conductance values (5.2-11.0), indicating their non-electrolytic nature. The synthesized ligand and its metal (II) complexes were evaluated for antibacterial activity against five bacterial isolates (Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus) and three fungal isolates (Fusarium solani, Aspergillus fumigatus, and Candida albicans) using the well diffusion method. The results demonstrated that the metal complexes exhibited greater antimicrobial activity compared to the Schiff base ligand.

Biodiesel has attracted considerable attention during the past decade as a renewable, biodegradable, and nontoxic fuel alternative to fossil fuels. Biodiesel can be obtained from vegetable oils (both edible and non-edible) and from animal fat. Biodiesel was produced through esterification of Jatropha oil using an alkaline catalyst. The process was carried out at the reaction temperatures of 63 and 55°C, with a 6:1-11:1 oil to methanol molar ratio, and the concentration was verified. In this research work, a yield of 91.78% and 80% was achieved. Furthermore, the flash point of 129.1°C obtained indicates that the biodiesel is within the specification of ASTM. Jatropha curcas Linnaeus, a multipurpose plant, contains a high amount of oil in its seeds which can be converted to biodiesel. J. curcas is probably the most highly promoted oilseed crop at present in the world. The availability and sustainability of sufficient supplies of less expensive feedstock in the form of vegetable oils, particularly J. curcas, and efficient processing technology to biodiesel will be crucial determinants of delivering competitive biodiesel. Oil contents, physicochemical properties, and fatty acid composition of J. curcas are reported in research. The fuel properties of Jatropha biodiesel are comparable to those of fossil diesel and conform to the ASTM standard. The objective of this review is to give an update on the J. curcas L. plant, the production of biodiesel from the seed oil, and research attempts to improve the technology of converting vegetable oil to biodiesel and the fuel properties of Jatropha biodiesel. There is also a need to carry out a lifecycle assessment and assess the environmental impacts of introducing large-scale plantations. Furthermore, there is still a dearth of research about the influence of various cultivation-related factors and their interactions and influence on seed yield. The formation of biodiesel was confirmed by FT-IR and GC-MS analysis, and the conversion of ester functional group into methyl esters was verified, and characteristic properties of biodiesel were successfully determined.

Weight, Height, and Eruption of Deciduous Teeth
Authors: Rafisa Anggun , Balafif Felisha Febriane , Najmi Nuroh , Kuswandani Faisal
Published: July 2024

The eruption of deciduous teeth, typically beginning around the first year of life, is a critical milestone in early childhood development. Adequate nutrition during infancy and early childhood is pivotal for the proper development of deciduous teeth. This review aims to examine existing literature on the relationship between weight, height, and the eruption of deciduous teeth. The search strategy was conducted across databases, such as PubMed and Scopus. A total of 142 articles were initially identified from the databases and after screened for duplicates, eligibility and relevance, six articles were included in this review. The timing of the first deciduous tooth eruption ranges from 7.9-10.1 months for underweight children, 7.8-8.7 months for normal weight children, and 6.3-8.2 months for overweight children. Children with short stature experienced their first deciduous tooth eruption between 8.8-9 months, which is considered late compared to children with normal stature (7.4-8.9 months) and tall stature (6.7-8.1 months). Despite variations in methodologies, classifications, and timings of weight and height measurement, the studies reviewed consistently demonstrate that children with underweight or short stature experience delayed deciduous tooth eruption compared to their normal-weight and normal-height peers. Further research is needed to explore the underlying mechanisms linking birth weight, height, and tooth eruption, as well as to develop effective interventions that can mitigate the adverse effects of poor nutrition on dental and overall health.

Published: July 2024

Effective management of queues can significantly improve the performance of the organization in general or the unit where it applies in particular. Effective management of queues is most needed when the service is face to face, ie “tangible”, visible and that actually happens in a certain unit. This work aims at identifying the role of several factors (skills, technology, etc.) in the queuing model. The focus of selective surveillance is on all those organizations that have service systems. Service time in the system depends not only on the management of the model but also on some factors which if evaluated (taken into consideration) can significantly improve service results. After a detailed review of the literature, we created the possibility of designing the most effective techniques and methods for gathering information, which was then processed with various computer programs. The proposed model as well as the decision tree is the main results of the presents work. The study has managed to achieve its purpose, as well as to give at the end some recommendations for all those service systems where the queue is applied.
Opening the “Black box” of the labor market in Macedonia: Youth unemployment
Authors: Noveski Viktorija , Handjiski Venera , Angjelkovska Tijana
Published: July 2024

The youth unemployment in Macedonia has been high and persistent for the last three decades, despite the many active labour policies for young persons. This paper examines the determinants of youth unemployment in the Macedonian labour market using quantitative and qualitative analysis. In order to empirically estimate the relevant determinants of youth unemployment in Macedonia we employ the two-step conditional mixed processes model (CMP) using the school to work transition survey (SWTS) by the International Labour Organization. The quantitative analysis is accompanied by qualitative analysis to further explore and explain the social-economic issues. The qualitative analysis includes semi-structured interviews and focus groups conducted in different regions of Macedonia. The empirical results indicate that gender, age, the wealth of the household, the education level and regional characteristics are the main determinants of youth unemployment in Macedonia. According to the findings of the qualitative analysis, the most of the young people pursue education and live with their families who provide them with financial support to cover their expenses. Consequently, the young persons have a diminished interest to search for a job and this attitude on long run could have a dubious effect and influence on the personal choices. Overall, there is a long school to work transition period, which discourages young people to actively participate in the labor market.
Exploring the impact of tax divergence in financial reporting. A case of Albania (2022)
Authors: Saraci Julian
Published: July 2024

The interplay between tax divergence and financial reporting in Albania has assumed growing importance. This research, grounded in a post-positivist paradigm, seeks to elucidate the connection between these variables and discern which exerts the greater influence. The methodology is a qualitative dimension involved in the analysis of secondary data from businesses and the examination of tax laws and accounting standards. We elaborate the topic by taking on the one hand the main items of Accounting Standards and on the other hand the main items of the tax legislation in force. Furthermore, the research incorporates a quantitative component using a questionnaire to collect perceptions from professionals. This adds a descriptive or cross-sectional element to the research, but the primary emphasis remains on exploration and understanding, making it predominantly an exploratory research type, employing an ex-post-facto methodology.
The study reveals that in the Albanian context, tax regulations wield a substantial impact on the practices of financial reporting. Variations in tax laws often prompt the application of creative accounting techniques, leading to information imbalances that can have ramifications for decision-making. Notable instances have illuminated how tax divergence can yield discrepancies in financial reporting, compelling the necessity for regulatory adaptations and elevated reporting standards.
From this research, several pivotal recommendations have emerged. These emphasize the synchronization of legal and accounting frameworks through the reduction of permissible accounting and tax methods. This strategic alignment aims to enhance comparability while minimizing opportunities for divergence. Management is encouraged to acknowledge the significance of effective tax planning, institute a robustly supervised Code of Ethics, and actively endorse its observance. Tax authorities are urged to invest in expanded training, with an urgent imperative for streamlining tax legislation. This paper offers valuable insights for stakeholders such as investors, management, policymakers, regulators, to enhance financial transparency, benefit and compliance by addressing the impact of tax divergence on financial reporting in Albania.

PERCEPTIONS OF COOPERATING TEACHERS ON PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS’ MENTORING IN TEACHING PRACTICUM: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM INITIAL TEACHER EDUCATION
Authors: Nurhadi Kardi , Aryani Siska
Published: July 2024

Although research on cooperating teachers mentoring pre-service teachers provides important findings in teacher education, there are few studies exploring cooperating teachers' perceptions of mentoring pre-service teachers in Indonesian teacher education. Grounded in narrative inquiry design, this research reports on cooperating teachers' perceptions of mentoring their pre-service teachers during teaching practicum. Two cooperating teachers voluntarily agreed to participate in this study. Data were derived from semi-structured interviews focusing on exploring critical incidents while they were mentoring pre-service teachers. The data were analysed qualitatively using thematic analysis. Findings revealed that pre-service teachers faced difficulties in using English to teach students. However, they benefited from applying strategies and media in their teaching. In terms of mentoring aspects, pre-service teachers were often unprepared with lesson plans, although their communication during teaching practicum was good.

Community-based tourism (CBT) dan ekowisata (eco-tourism) adalah dua konsep penting dalam industri pariwisata yang bertujuan untuk mempromosikan pengembangan berkelanjutan dan pelestarian lingkungan alam sambil memberdayakan masyarakat setempat. CBT menekankan partisipasi aktif komunitas dalam pengelolaan destinasi wisata dan pemanfaatan sumber daya lokal, sementara ekowisata berfokus pada upaya untuk melestarikan keanekaragaman hayati dan ekosistem alam. Desa wisata Tabo-tabo merupakan salah satu desa yang dianggap paling tepat untuk mengembangkan kedua konsep pariwisata ini, dengan keanekaragaman hayati yang dimiliki karena termasuk dalam Kawasan Hutan Dengan Tujuan Khusus (KHDTK), desa ini juga memiliki Sumber daya manusia yang potensial untuk dikembangkan. Olehnya pengabdian yang dilakukan oleh Tim Pengabdi dari Institut Teknologi dan Bisnis Kalla ini hadir sebagai salah satu pendobrak dalam gebrakan baru desa ini menuju desa wisata dengan konsep berkelanjutan. Program pengabdian yang berlangsung Agustus-September 2023 ini mengusung 5 materi modul yang diperoleh dari hasil analisa dan penggalian informasi di lokasi pengabdian yang diharapkan mampu menjadi langkah awal dan bekal untuk para anggota Kelompok Sadar Wisata (Pokdarwis).

Tantangan SIMRS dalam Penerapan Rekam Medis Elektronik Berdasarkan Permenkes 24 Tahun 2022: Literature Review
Authors: Rabiah Demlinur Putri  , Dety Mulyanti
Published: July 2024

The government through the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia took a big step by issuing Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 24 of 2022 concerning Electronic Medical Records, whereby through this regulation health service facilities start from independent practice locations for doctors, dentists and/or other health workers, health centers, clinics , hospitals, pharmacies, health laboratories, centers and other Health Service Facilities determined by the Minister are required to implement Electronic Medical Records. Of course, this is a big breakthrough considering that currently the implementation of Electronic Medical Records in Indonesia is said to be not going too well and can even be said to be advanced compared to other countries. This is of course directly related to the infrastructure owned by Health Service Facilities in Indonesia. One of the considerations is the readiness of the Electronic System to be used later, both electronic systems prepared by health care facilities themselves to electronic systems prepared by third parties. There are several important things that must be considered by the electronic system to be able to carry out electronic medical records including the registration of the system as an electronic system operator, having minimum capabilities in accordance with Permenkes No. 24 of 2022 and the ability to maintain data security and protection. Some of these things are a challenge for Electronic Systems or Hospital Information Systems to be able to run Electronic Medical Records according to the provisions that have been set. If this cannot be done, it is likely that the system will receive sanctions up to the revocation of the operating permit.
