La metodología cualitativa ha cobrado relevancia en las últimas décadas como una respuesta para cubrir los vacíos de conocimientos que dejan el modelo po-sitivista y la metodología cuantitativa, y ofrece otras perspectivas en el estudio de los fenómenos que se investigan en las ciencias de la salud.El presente artículo tiene como objetivo presen-tar los elementos que debe incluir un protocolo de investigación cualitativo.Se describen siete seccio-nes, incluyendo en cada una sus componentes: plan-teamiento del problema, justificación, marco teórico, objetivos, metodología, análisis y consideraciones éti-cas. En conclusión, la investigación cualitativa busca interpretar la realidad a través de los datos subjetivos que en los métodos cuantitativos no se consideran. Aunque los elementos de este tipo de protocolos pue-den cambiar desde la perspectiva de un autor u otro, el proceso de investigación debe llevarse a cabo con rigor metodológico y cubrir los elementos mínimos indispensables que se han establecido en consenso, para garantizar que el estudio sea de calidad.

Published: October 2023

Cuando una persona adulta mayor se enferma, el cuidado es vital para su sobrevivencia; no obstante, se requieren diversos recursos para su atención. Por lo tanto, es preciso contar con una red de apoyo so-cial que pueda proveer recursos. El objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar los tipos de recursos aportados por los miembros de la red de apoyo social para sa-tisfacer las necesidades de cuidado de personas adul-tas mayores y enfermas en condiciones de pobreza. Los datos provienen de una investigación cualitati-va con técnicas etnográficas realizada en la colonia Santa Cecilia en Guadalajara, Jalisco, México, con 12 personas adultas mayores y sus familiares. Se reali-zaron 56 entrevistas semiestructuradas. Los princi-pales hallazgos son que las personas adultas mayo-res obtienen recursos primeramente de su familia, en especial de sus hijas, quienes apoyan en el área instrumental, material y emocional, siendo la corre-sidencia un elemento relevante para garantizar la participación activa en la provisión de recursos para el cuidado. En segundo lugar, las personas reciben apoyo material complementario de su red comuni-taria, seguido del apoyo por parte de instituciones gubernamentales y no gubernamentales. Se concluye que la familia es la principal red de apoyo. Sin embargo, no garantiza la completa satisfac-ción de necesidades de las personas adultas mayores y enfermas. Además, la condición de dependencia fí-sica agrava su dependencia material, entrando en un ciclo de desventaja y vulnerabilidad permanente.

Published: October 2023

This paper examines the relationship between Shariah committee mechanisms and audit report lag. Specifically, this study examines the relationship between the Shariah committee size, independence, frequency of meetings, and expertise. Furthermore, this study investigates the severe impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on the audit report lag. The panel data analysis analyses the relationship between Shariah committee mechanisms and the audit report lag of Malaysian Islamic banks from 2011 to 2021. The present study discovered that a majority of Islamic banks in Malaysia require a duration of 74 days to complete the issuance of independent auditor reports. The findings of the analysis suggest that there exists a negative correlation between the size of the Shariah committee, the frequency of meetings, and the level of knowledge, and the audit report lag. Furthermore, the investigation has also determined that the COVID-19 situation has had a significant impact on the postponement of audit reports. This study helps guide the policymakers in overseeing violation of the submission guidelines. It also presents the literature on audit report delay and Shariah mechanisms. The efficiency of the Shariah committee mechanisms is examined in this research as an extension of the use of agency theory. It helps to comprehend concerns with the Shariah committee mechanism in Malaysian Islamic banks. Then, this study provides evidence during the COVID-19 crisis and how to deal with a similar situation in the future. Additionally, it helps auditors and top management to better understand the good Shariah committee mechanism and audit report lag in planning audit engagements.

Published: October 2023

Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a skin neglected tropical disease, with an estimated 40,000 new cases each year in Ethiopia. CL causes ulcers, nodules, and plaques on the skin, and in some instances the destruction of the nasopharyngeal mucosa and cartilage. Some CL lesions may heal spontaneously, whilst other lesions may require therapies which are associated with discomfort, adverse effects, prolonged treatment, and a frequent lack of a complete response. Scarring, a sequela of CL, causes permanent disfigurement and is associated with stigma linked with a reduction in health-related quality of life. The choice of treatment for CL is based upon factors including the causative species; the number, extent, size, and location of lesions; and the availability of treatments. The development of robust evidence for CL treatment is hindered by a lack of validated and appropriate outcome measures and few data to support hypothesis-generation and trial design. There is a paucity of prospective data with well-defined treatment outcomes for CL caused by L. aethiopica. Aim: The overall aim of this study is to improve the understanding of the health and economic burden of CL. Methods: We have designed an observational, multi-centre cohort study to examine treatment outcomes for CL in Ethiopia which includes clinical outcomes, laboratory outcomes, patient reported outcome measures, scar assessments and cost effectiveness. We aim to recruit up to 750 participants across two hospital sites. We present here the protocol for this cohort study with a 12-month follow up period for each participant. Conclusions: These data will inform the design of randomized controlled trials to evaluate new treatment strategies, with appropriate economic evaluations. This will help improve evidence-based guidelines and support evidence-led policy decisions, not only in Ethiopia but also globally.

Authors: Nawrin Tasmia , Sadek Ashraf
Published: October 2023

The mixed-method study aims at exploring the effectiveness of rubrics towards authentic assessment of language learning in higher education by understanding the role of the rubric. In the recent trend and style of language teaching-learning, the rubric is one of the important tools that design the set standards and criteria which teachers use to assess students’ performance, assignment or behavior. In educational technology, a rubric is the performance standard for a student population typically having four essential components: task description, the scale of achievement, dimensions and description of dimensions. The type of rubric is chosen from the range of holistic rubrics, analytic rubrics, generic rubrics or specific rubrics for assessment depending on the task being evaluated and the needs of the assessor. Research says that the rubric helps to define “quality performance” and promote awareness on critical components in a performance not only acting as an evaluation tool for instructors but also acting as a feedback proforma for students. According to the rubric experts, rubrics are vital tools that can be utilized to solve the problem of subjectivity in the evaluation as they provide consistency in evaluation, reduce subjectivity and enhance objectivity. To explore the real scenario, the researcher collected data through the analysis of students’ performance in two classes where the teachers used the rubric and in two classes where the teachers did not use it. Besides, a semi open-ended questionnaire was administered among four teachers, two of each category to see their perspectives about the impact of rubrics in reducing subjectivity. Alongside, four FGD were conducted to put light on students’ perceptions. The result shows a significant impact of rubrics on students’ performance along with a strong positive attitude of both students and teachers towards the use of rubrics. A wide scope of further research is open in this area.

Exploring the Business Model and Organizational Innovation of Vocational Schools: A Case Study of Development Units
Authors: Dibra Sidita
Published: October 2023

Since 2015, the Skills for Jobs (S4J) project, funded by the Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC) and implemented by Swisscontact, has actively promoted private sector engagement in skills development. The project's primary objective is to facilitate ten public Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers in innovating their offerings, delivery methods, and organisational practices through close collaboration with the private sector. Under the leadership of national actors, these VET providers would become national-level transfer agents of innovations introduced to enhance employability. Development Units (DUs) were established at the VET provider level to facilitate this innovation and to lead technically various functions, including labour market intelligence, curricula development, business relations, continuous professional development, marketing, and career development. Their purpose is to ensure that the newly introduced functions align with the strategic objectives of the VET providers, provide technical support to staff members involved, and coordinate and steer the implementation activities. This research employs a comparative case study approach to illuminate DUs' preconditions and multilevel effects as organisational innovation and draws upon theoretical frameworks such as business models, organisational design, innovation, VET governance, and private sector engagement. It reveals that DU as an organisational innovation led to VET providers' shift of the business model towards novelties in the value proposition, creation and capturing and higher performance. As a result of Dus, VET providers become more powerful actors in the VET system governance in general and centres of the ecosystem at the regional level. The research revealed key organisational capabilities that should be enhanced to allow for effective DUs and high performaning innovative VET providers.

Together in silence
Authors:   , Verloop Huibertha Bastiaantje
Published: October 2023

In response to distressing events and personal losses, people often gather to remember and commemorate. Commemorations are assumed to support those affected by disruptive events to cope with their experiences. Yet, remembering stressful events may also increase negative feelings or re-experiences of the past.

This dissertation sheds light on the individual impact of collective commemorations and ritual performances in relation to mental health. It aims to increase our understanding of the relationship between commemorating, clinical symptoms (such as posttraumatic stress and prolonged grief), and emotional responses. Furthermore, the aim is to unravel for whom and under what circumstances commemorations can contribute to coping with war experiences and loss. Findings of six studies, including both quantitative and qualitative research methods, are presented. The first part focuses on collective commemorative gatherings in society that are organised in the aftermath of war, large-scale violence or genocide. Specific attention is given to the experiences of children and war-affected immigrants during Dutch Remembrance Day, a commemoration rooted in World War II. Part two centres around funeral services and grief ritual performances to remember the loss of a loved one, including the experiences
during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Overall, this dissertation reveals that despite increased stress-related symptoms and negative feelings, collective commemorations can be very meaningful to individuals and societies. Experiencing support, connectedness, recognition, and meaning making are key in strengthening positive feelings, through which commemorations may contribute to coping with war experiences and loss. The findings offer important implications and recommendations for future research, clinical practice, policy-making and institutions responsible for organising commemorations.

Published: October 2023

It has long been established that elevated plasma concentrations of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are among the prominent contributors leading to the development of atherosclerotic plaques and, ultimately, cardiovascular disease. In the current era of optimal risk factor modification, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) targeting has emerged as a potent therapeutic approach in the management of hypercholesterolaemia, addressing several substantial, unmet clinical needs. PCSK9 monoclonal antibodies, evolocumab and alirocumab, as well as inclisiran, which is a small interfering RNA that halts the transcription of PCSK9 mRNA, are being increasingly used in current clinical practice, as they induce intensive LDL-C reductions without any significant safety and tolerability concerns. Based on the success of these agents, the concept of PCSK9 targeting with novel agents with enhanced biological properties, or via different administration routes, has received considerable attention. In this regard, numerous antisense oligonucleotides, peptides, and proteins are currently under evaluation in randomised controlled trials, yielding propitious results up to date; they may enter clinical use in the coming years. Meanwhile, a PCSK9 vaccine, as well as genome editing via clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats/Cas9, hold great promise to eradicate LDL-C altogether as a cardiovascular risk factor. This review aims to present and discuss the current clinical and scientific evidence pertaining to the field of medications that exert their biological effect by targeting PCSK9, which are either in use in clinical practice, or are currently being evaluated in pre-clinical or clinical studies, and may prove beneficial in the near future.

Objectification and Resistance of Women Against Patriarchal Shackles in Anime Haikara-san ga Tooru Movie 1: Benio, Hana no 17-sai
Authors: Noviana Fajria , Avilla Maria Teresa , Wibisono Nabillah Azalia
Published: October 2023

Objectification of women can be found in various media, including in literature, both classical and popular works. Therefore, this paper examines the objectification female characters experienced and their resistance to patriarchal culture in the anime Haikara-san ga Tooru Movie 1: Benio, Hana no 17-sai, which received the first Kodansha Manga Award. This study uses a feminist literary criticism approach that focuses on radical-liberal feminism. Data in conversations, actions, and events representing women's objectification and resistance to this treatment were collected using a note-taking technique. As a result, three treatments of objectification of women were found: arranged marriages, demands on women to be skilled in domestic tasks, and demeaning women. Meanwhile, women resist that objectification acts by rejecting arranged marriages, fighting against the demeaning of women, and working in the public sphere. From these findings, it is concluded that the objectification of women is constructed, consumed, and reproduced by men and women. Women, like men, should be treated as human beings with their rights, not as objects that can be traded, owned, or demeaned.

Authors: YILDIZ Ramazan Özkan , AYMELEK Murat
Published: October 2023

The Flexible Work Arrangements (FWA) is increasing its prominence in today’s business world. Companies are increasingly adopting flexibility to improve employee happiness and overall operational efficiency as the landscape of work patterns evolves. There is a growing research need to address the relative importance of different FWA according to specific business fields of the companies. This study aims to contribute to the field of organizational management by systematically prioritizing and ranking various FWA in the context of Turkish freight forwarding companies using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodology. The literature mainly suggests available FWA and their individual contributions to employee satisfactions. However, there is a research gap to identify the most relevant methods that match the specific needs of the sea freight forwarding sector. This study tries to construct a complete hierarchy of flexible work arrangements by meticulously using the AHP framework and including the viewpoints of both academics and Human Resources (HR) officials. This study seeks to establish a comprehensive hierarchy of flexible work arrangements, taking into account practices such as remote work, flextime, flexplace, and leave control, among others, through a meticulous application of the AHP framework. The findings of this study are expected to provide practical insights, assisting freight forwarding firms in making educated decisions on the implementation and priority of flexible work practices and promoting a harmonious and productive work environment.

Collagen crosslinking – the formation of cross-links between polypeptide chains – reduces the latter’s ability to hydrate. This property is universal for any variant of crosslinking (chemical, physical, physico-chemical) and for any form of collagen (gelatin, fibrillar collagen). Dehydrothermal crosslinking (DTC) is the formation of cross-links in biomaterials when they are heated under vacuum. Despite the fact that DTC methods are widespread in tissue engineering, its effect on the properties of the corneal stroma has not been practically studied. The use of DTK at temperatures up to 200 °C is described. For corneal stroma, the temperature limits of DTC treatment that allow its transplantation are unknown.

Purpose: to evaluate the effect of dehydrothermal (DHT) cross-linking of stromal corneal grafts based on the “Corneoplast” material at temperatures of 60, 100, 140, 180 and 220 °C on their principal applicability in keratoplasty.

Materials and methods. A corneoscleral disc was excised from a porcine eye (<12 h post-mortem) with epithelium and Descemet’s membrane removed, dried, and a 10 mm central corneal graft was cut out. Dry grafts (n = 36) were divided into 6 groups of 6 samples: in five groups they were kept under vacuum for 3 days at 60, 100, 140, 180, 220 °C; group 6 – untreated control; the structure was evaluated according to small-angle X-ray scattering and atomic force microscopy; for other studies, the grafts were immersed in a phosphate-salt buffer for 24 hours. Parameters evaluated: gross appearance, image quality from 5 m, light transmission, water content, central thickness, suture retention load. A test for epithelialization was performed ex vivo after 3 days in fresh porcine cornea organ culture.

Results. The 220 °C mode caused charring destruction of the material. The grafts after 180 °C became significantly weaker than the 9-0 nylon thread. In the range of 60–140 °C suture retention load significantly lowered from 913 (control) down to 137 g (140 °C). Grafts increased their light transmission from 30 (control) up to 75% (140 °C); the central thickness went from 3000 (control) down to 320 um (140 °C), water content decreased from 94 (control) down to 44% (140 °C). Subjective image quality of the grafts after treatment at 60, 100, and 140 °C increased and grafts allowed distinguishing optotypes 0.3, 1.0, and 1.0 decimal, respectively. In organ culture control grafts and grafts after 60 and 100 °C treatment were covered with epithelial cells. 140 °C samples showed smooth surface with no cells upon.

Conclusion. The limits of DTC processing are determined. Changing the temperature regime of DTK makes it possible to control the basic properties of “Corneoplast” in a wide range to achieve the possibility of using it as a keratoplastic material.
“Tradition” in T.S. Eliot’s The Family Reunion and Mikhail Na’ima’s Aba’ wa al Bnun (Parents and Sons)
Authors: Alkhalili Raja
Published: October 2023

This study examines the analogous qualities between T. S. Eliot and Mikhail Na’ima’s definition of “tradition” and how the concept is applied in The Family Reunion (1939), a play in verse written by Eliot and Aba’ wa al Bnun (Parents and Sons) (1917), a colloquial drama composed by Na’ima. As influential critics, both writers used “tradition” as a vehicle for the promotion of a new definition of culture. Therefore, Terry Eagleton’s Idea of Culture and Eliot’s Notes towards a Theory of Culture provide an additional theoretical framework that reveals how both critics/dramatists have focused on the concept of “tradition” as a means for cultivating a modernist identity seeking high culture and as a crucial tool in the pursuit of distinctive styles and original thematic ideas. The theoretical concept of “tradition” evolved as a result of unique circumstances that both writers experienced. However, the reflective writing on their own plays testifies to the difficulty of applying theoretical frameworks in dramatic works. In conclusion, Eliot and Na’ima experimented with the genre and decided to keep their plays as examples for future playwrights..
Byron’s “The Island”: Dialogism of Genre and Gender
Authors: Maalouf May
Published: October 2023

Often dubbed as a romance, a Polynesian fantasy, The Island is one of Byron's finest examples of Romantic dialogism, prefiguring the indeterminate nature of modern literature. However, Byron scholars have shied away from a serious reading of this poem due to its slippery and supposedly “un”-Byronic quality. Written concurrently with Don Juan, The Island enjoys much of Byron’s poetic maturity and social concern with the liberal/radical individualism, represented by Christian Fletcher and anti-social existence of his fellow mutineers. The paper will argue that in this poem, the cultural, political, and gender/genre dialectics of binary oppositions are playfully deconstructed and that Byron, by overriding the femininity of the romance genre and transgressing the "politically correct" master narrative of the imperial discourse, anticipates in The Island Bakhtin’s chronotope through the title of the poem, the overlapping of history and fiction; and the opposition between the narrative and the genre. Hoodwinked with the romance formal trappings and entangled with Byron’s polyphonic voices critics have undervalued The Island as one of the mature poems of Byron, which actualizes Hume’s fear of the romance genre’s threat of subverting the power politics of gender/genre/race, in an attempt to project possibilities of a new social order. .

Authors: Kurniawati Darini , Yuwindry Iwan
Published: October 2023

Background: In general, the side effects that arise after the vaccine vary. In general, mild and temporary and not always there and depending on the condition of the body. Effects such as fever and muscle aches or redness at the injection site are normal but still need to be monitored. The benefits of vaccines far outweigh the risks of getting sick from being infected if not vaccinated. If a Post-Immunization Follow-up Event (KIPI) occurs, it can be reported to the Health Facility where the vaccination is given, then it will be

followed up by the focal point in each Health Service and reviewed by the KIPI Study and Management Committee in each region and nationally. To find out how the level of student understanding influences the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccination at Sari Mulia University, Banjarmasin.

Objective: Knowing how to influence the level of student understanding of the side effects of COVID-19 vaccination at Sari Mulia University, Banjarmasin.

Methods: This study used a descriptive observational cross-sectional design with purposive sampling with inclusion and exclusion criteria set by researchers at Sari Mulia University, Banjarmasin. Data analysis using Naranjo.

Results: The results of the research on the incidence rate of drug side effects  in the covid-19 vaccine in Sari Mulia University students obtained Probable results as many as 60 respondents, Possible as many as 23 respondents and Doubtful as many as 7 respondents. The results of the statistical analysis of the chi-square test using SPSS.

Conclusion: Knowledge questionnaires that have an effect are place of residence, faculty and type of vaccine while age and gender do not affect knowledge. And for the Naranjo questionnaire, the factors that have an effect are the faculty and place of residence, while gender, age and type of vaccine have no effect. The alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted because it found that there was an effect on the level of student knowledge on the side effects of the Covid-19 vaccination at Sari Mulia University, Banjarmasin. Meanwhile, the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected because there was no effect on the level of student knowledge on the side effects of the Covid-19 vaccination at Sari Mulia University, Banjarmasin.
