The Body as a Social Construct: The Kosovan Context on ‘Beauty’ and ‘Look’ from the Perspective of Women and Girls in Kosovo
Authors: Halimi Sibel , Kamberi Ferdi
Published: May 2024

The inclusion of the study of the human ‘body’ in sociology abandoned the view that ‘nature’ constitutes the absolute premise that explains human interactions and social phenomena. The sociological perspective offered a new project of conceptualising the body, which enabled its reshaping and modification. In the new context of understanding the body, “the life of the body” was transformed from a technical and reproductive mechanism into a way of living, as well as an identity. This paper will address the main theoretical approaches to the study of the body, which at the same time reveals the context of the social realities that built the epistemology of sociological and gender studies in researches related to the body. Further, the paper introduces the results of an empirical research carried out with women and girls in Kosovo regarding the understanding and appreciation of the body, including their position about the image of the body that will help deconstruct the standard of the idolised body of women and girls in Kosovo. The research methodology applied is focused in two main parts: the online survey with 350 women and girls aged between 16 and 65 coming from both urban and rural areas, through a structured questionnaire technique compose of three parts with a total of 42 questions. Data collection and processing were done through the application of the SPSS program No. 24 and Excel. The second part of the research included the qualitative approach, by utilization of two focus groups with 14 girls of different ages and coming from different geographical areas of Kosovo. The research will highlight their attention and sensitivity towards ‘beauty’ as predefined by social, cultural, and the economic context. The overall results of the research show that 55.5 percent of the respondents agree that beauty plays a roles in the success of a woman/girl's life in Kosovo, whereas 22 percent neither agree nor disagree with this, whilst 33 percent do not agree that beauty plays any role. Additionally, approximately 55 percent of the respondents indicated that beauty influences a woman/girl's success in life, 60 percent believe that beautiful women/girls find it much easier to get hired, and about 70 percent stated that beauty affects self-esteem in both women and girls.

The formation of a university professor's identity is a complex process, which begins with academic training and evolves through professional practice. This study explores the experiences that shape the identity of university teachers, focusing on personal, social and professional perspectives. Through the qualitative approach, using in-depth interviews with 10 participants with an average age of 50 years, the research revealed significant factors. It found a correlation between female gender and preference for teaching careers, as well as the substantial influence of parental guidance on career choice, driven by considerations of economic stability and familiar work environments. In terms of personal identity, the testimonies underscored the influential role of parental expectations in career decision making. Social identity was strongly influenced by family prestige and the broader social context. On the professional level, the research revealed that years of positive teaching experience contribute to the reinforcement of one's professional identity. However, it also highlighted the fluid nature of a university professor's teaching identity, subject to the fluctuations of positive and negative experiences encountered in daily practice. While these experiences can reinforce a sense of vocation and professional development, the lack of a cohesive teaching identity poses risks to the quality of educational services provided to students.

Authors: Dwi Putranti Honorata Ratnawati , Suparno Suparno , Sri Pudjiarti Emiliana
Published: May 2024

In developed countries, telehealth system applications are available in hospitals, hospital-based telemedicine centers, and rehabilitation centers. However, in contrast to developing countries, the telehealth system has not been implemented properly. Countries that implement telehealth systems experience different benefits, especially in developed countries. In developing countries, implementation remains challenging due to the requirement for literacy about the telehealth system itself in addition to using smartphone and tablet cellular technology for access. This research is motivated by concerns about the role of transformational leadership in providing a telehealth system to ensure the safety of medical personnel. The study adopts a quantitative approach with primary data collected at three major Indonesian university teaching hospitals—Gajah Mada Hospital, Diponegoro National Hospital, and Sebelas Maret Hospital—with medical personnel and administrative staff as the observation units. Hypothesis testing is conducted using Smart PLS 3.0. The study’s results reveal that traditional health services remain problematic despite efforts to make long-term changes. This study aligns with previous research, emphasizing that strategic flexibility serves as a proactive and reactive strategy for effecting long-term changes in key aspects of a company fostering innovation processes that contribute to sustainable business growth.

Teaching and Learning English Literature Through Multimedia
Authors: Turku Marsela
Published: May 2024

Reading and understanding English literature can be quite challenging for students if English is not their native language. Thus, somehow students do not feel motivated in reading literature because of the high language proficiency the texts require and the length of the teaching materials. The conventional “Chalk and Talk” teaching method is not enough to convey the complexity of English literature effectively. The use of multimedia might be a precious medium in the teaching of literature and to increase students’ motivation to read literary texts. Research indicates that multimedia helps students to understand literature, to focus on the target language but also on its culture, new terminologies, new phraseology and their proper usage. The use of multimedia has many advantages as it is a great facilitator in transmitting knowledge. However, there are many questions about the use of digital tools, some think that they interfere with the teaching process and the student’s concentration, whereas others think that digital media can be effectively integrated into the teaching and learning process. In this paper, we will focus on how the multimedia content helps to vary and enhance the learning process and to lead to a better understanding and memorising. Multimedia elements help learners to be more engaged and active at learning. It makes studying literature more exciting because some students are visual learners and use visual senses in the process of learning. I used tests, observation and questionaries to analyse my research questions.

The Impact of the European Union on the Endorsement of the Justice Reform in Albania
Authors: Bregu Meljana , Gjinko Juliana
Published: May 2024

European integration has been the primary goal of Albanian foreign policy since the collapse of the communist regime, regardless of the ruling political party. The political elite and the Albanian people embrace and support the integration process. Also, the European Union has grown as a transformative power in Albania, fostering democracy, influencing structural reforms, and impacting the rule of law through the promise of future accession. However, the enlargement process has been slow due to internal and external factors. The article analyzes the EU as a transformative power and the use of Conditionality in Albania as an essential diffusion channel of the EU's values and norms, using the adoption of justice reform as a key study. The article's objective is to examine how the EU perspective membership has influenced the endorsement of justice reform in Albania. The paper argues that the EU approach has succeeded in fostering compliance with formal accession criteria but has yet to implement the justice reform due to internal factors and a not linear enlargement perspective. Progress Reports, literature, surveys, and media articles will be analyzed to fulfill the paper's objective.

The Relative Importance of Factors Influencing Saudi Arabia's Productivity
Authors: Derdab Amna , AlFadhli Mohammad , Almutairi Shihanah , Alsaber Ahmad , Ullah Karim
Published: May 2024

A country's productivity reflects its current economic standing and where it could potentially grow in the future. This paper explains the relative significance of factors affecting the productivity of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The issue of productivity has been raised in the growing diversion of the economic literature to the development side, leaving little research on countries productivity as measured in gross domestic product (GDP), that provides empirical basses for the developmental debates. Eight important factors are researched for their relative explanation of the KSA’s productivity, which include the spendings on i) education, 2) subsidies, 3) research & development, 4) physical capital, 5) health, 6) gender equality, 7) inflation, and 8) openness to trade. These factors are assessed using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and combine autoregressive features with those of moving averages (ARIMA). The study has theoretical implications for raising fresh evidence for the relative importance of these factors of production for developing countries such as KSA. The relative significance of these factors also informs predictions and policy making for the efficient resource allocation of keeping in view the targeted productivity level while chasing developmental objectives, such as those envisioned for 2030 in KSA.

The objective of the study is to analyze the reliability and validity evidence based on the internal structure of the InCharge Finance Distress / Financial Wellbeing (IFDFW). It was administered to 545 citizens from the three regions of Peru (coast, the Andes and the rainforest). There were 296 women and 243 men, with an average age of 33.45 years (SD= 9.65). Confirmatory factor analysis provided adequate support for the 8-item one-dimensional model with the presence of correlated errors (CMIN= 58.635, DF = 17.00; CMIN/DF =3.449; CFI = 0.979; RMSEA= 0.067; SRMR= 0.032; and PClose = 0.061), also showed a good convergent internal validity based on the value of AVE = 0.554. Regarding reliability, a Cronbach's alpha = 0.881 and a CR= 0.91 are observed, which indicates adequate reliability of the one-dimensional model of the InCharge. The results suggest that the Peruvian version of the InCharge presents adequate psychometric evidence to measure the financial well-being of employees in a Peruvian context. Thus, it seeks to contribute to the advancement of the scientific study of financial well-being in Latin America.

Published: May 2024

The application of Balance Score Card (BSC) and Supply Chain (SC) as structured methods of strategic analysis is scarce and controversial in the business management of some companies, except in large industries competing in the globalized market. The objective of the study was to analyze the Balance Score Card as a predictive tool to improve the Supply Chain (SC) of the company ACES Peru, 2022. The study evaluates the BSC variables and the five dimensions of the CS variable: Supply, production, storage, transportation and distribution, a total of 24 items on a Likert scale. A total of 260 responses were collected from those who participated in the survey. Statistically, exploratory factor analysis, Varimax factorial rotation, KMO, CFI, TLI and RSMA tests were used. The results show that BSC was not a significant predictor of CS; however, the BSC variable is a significant predictor of the dimensions of the CS variable. In these circumstances the BSC model assumes the role of evaluator of the management strategies developed in ACES and improver of the predictor level of CS and its dimensions.

To find out the main elements of the newly adopted management model and the level of application of indigenous and western models and principles, and also to investigate the generalization of education aspects and values in contexts other than their initial ones, we carried out such a study in three federal universities of the United Arab Emirates. Besides the vital nature of the questions to the United Arab Emirates, these interrogate the most troubling yet classic issues afflicting the Gulf and developing states alike. The outcomes show that hegemonic western approaches to higher education management subverts the unique cultural and religious traditions of the UAE that correlates with the local and national tourism environments. These comparative components were spread and controlled by the international higher education exchange culture that was not mandatory but rather, shared. A global higher education system plays an important role in preserving and spreading a standard culture to all states in the world.

Most users of management software packages don't realize how much effort analysts, designers, programmers, and installers put into creating these solutions. Due to the rapid progress of information technologies, the software and computer hardware of the used systems become outdated quite quickly. After some time, both manufacturing and service enterprises face the dilemma of modernizing the systems in use, including switching to a newer version of the package. But sometimes, as a result of the analysis, it turns out that the amount of necessary changes exceeds 40%. So, should you adapt one of the off-the-shelf versions or perhaps build your own custom cyber-resistant system? The proposed study guide for students, and not only, of "Management, logistics and administration" specialties corresponds to the education of IT system designers in the fields of activity, especially in enterprises, which are so needed in practice. The first part of the manual presents individual examples of computerized control systems as a perspective on the construction of various applications. The second part introduces the reader to a set of tools that help create new and implemented solutions in information technology and engineering. Of particular note is the instruction on how to use the UML language in the creation of flowcharts so that structural sequences of source codes for software solutions can be automatically generated from them. It is worth adding that a valuable addition to this work is a more detailed explanation of the concepts and presentation of formulas, especially in the field of econometrics, which are necessary in the modeling of algorithms of economic phenomena.

Published: May 2024

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a health disorder that occurs due to compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel with the main symptoms being tingling and pain in the fingers and hands which are innervated by the median nerve. CTS is a multifactorial disease, involving various risk factors (occupational, non-occupational). CTS is at risk of occurring in various industrial sectors, especially workers in the clothing industry, food and beverage industry, and agriculture who cause repetitive movements or maintain unergonomic work postures. CTS has become the center of attention of researchers because it can cause disability in workers, disrupting work productivity. This study aims to analyze the risk factors for CTS in food industry workers. This type of research is a systematic review that was searched via Google Scholars, PubMed, Cochrane Library, ResearchGate and Science Direct with a publication deadline of the last 5 years.
