PENDAMPINGAN PENDIDIKAN LITERASI FINANCIAL BAGI ORANG TUA DALAM MEMBENDUNG KONSUMERISME PADA ANAK USIA DINI DI DESA SUKARAJA
Authors: Rohmah Miftakhur , Rahmadani Rafika , Ismail Khafid
Published: March 2023

Penentuan karakter anak bisa diawali dari pola asuh dan pola didik orang tua terhadap anak dengan pendekatan pendidikan yang tepat. Pendidikan ekonomi penting untuk diterapkan pada anak sedini mungkin terutama anak pada usia pra sekolah dan sekolah dasar, karena dengan pengenalan terhadap pengetahuan literasi keuangan sejak dini akan membuat anak terbiasa mengelola keuangan dengan baik dan benar dimasa yang akan datang sehingga ketika anak dewasa nanti akan terbiasa dalam mengelola keuangan sesuai dengan prioritas dan kebutuhan. Selain itu, penting pula untuk memberikan pemahaman kepada masyarakat tentang pola berkonsumsi. Sehingga merubah pola dan budaya konsumerisme tersebut dapat dilakukan dengan edukasi ekonomi keuangan yang sesuai dengan literasi ekonomi. Untuk itu perlu adanya pendampingan pembelajaran ekonomi bagi orang tua pada anak untuk memanage jiwa konsumerisme. Observasi awal yang dilakukan tim pengabdi kepada mitra yakni sharing terkait permasalahan literasi financial, diperoleh hasil bahwa para orang tua khususnya ibu rumah tangga belum memiliki bekal pengelolaan keuangan yang baik dan tepat sehingga dalam berprilaku ekonomi sehari-hari belum tersistematis.  Dampak lain dari minimnya literasi ibu rumah tangga pada pola pendidikan literasi keuangan kepada anak, turunan pendidikan yang keliru akan menghasilkan pola perilaku ekonomi yang keliru juga. Karenanya penelitian ini memiliki tujuan untuk memberikan bimbingan bagi orang tua untuk memberikan pemahaman pendidikan ekonomi pada anak sejak dini yang efektif dalam memanage jiwa konsumerisme, serta memberikan pengetahuan yang baru terkait literasi ekonomi untuk merubah pola hidup yang konsumtif menjadi perilaku yang ekonomis, mampu memetakan skala prioritas dalam berekonomi sehingga anak dimasa depan mampu menjawab tantangan zaman dengan bekal pengetahuan dan pendidikan literasi orang tua yang tepat. pada penelitian ini digunakan metode edukasi dengan praktik dan pelatihan, sharing, tanya jawab dan ceramah, serta pendampingan. Berjalannya program ini, tim pengabdian mencoba berupaya untuk mengenalkan pada ibu-ibu rumah tangga di desa sukaraja dengan memberikan pelatihan mengenai literasi financial yang sesuai dengan teori-teori yang relevan, sehingga penyampaian pendidikan kepada anak terkait pengelolaan keuangan yang baik sesuai dengan skala prioritas bukan sekedar keinginan. Pada Saat proses pengenalan dan pendampingan pelatihan yang dilakukan oleh tim pengabdi dapat berjalan dengan baik karena pelatihan ini sesuai dengan kebutuhan mereka. Motivasi peserta pelatihan cukup antusias. Hal ini menandakan adanya keinginan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan mereka dalam berliterasi financial.

Authors: Santika Ana
Published: March 2023

Ekonomi merupakan aktifitas kegiatan manusia di muka bumi ini, sehingga kemudian timbul motif ekonomi, yaitu keinginan seseorang untuk dapat memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya. Dalam kehidupan sehari-hari orang cenderung menyamakan kebutuhan (needs) dengan keinginan (wants). Manusia hidup memerlukan tatanan hukum, dalam Islam Hukum itu bersumber dari al-Qur`an, al-Hadits, dan ijtihad, kemudian produk ijtihad adalah fikih. Tujuan PKM ini adalah memberikan sosialisasi dan pemahaman kepada masyarakat Desa Gunug Megang terkait edukasi bermu`amalah dalam ekonomi Islam, agar masyarakat mengetahui hal tersebut secara komprehensif sehingga berimplikasi pada kegiatan bermuamalah secara benar sesuai dengan konsep ekonomi syari`ah. Metode yang digunakan dalam program PKM ini menggunakan metode sosialisasi dan interaksi. Kegiatan PKM tentang edukasi  berMu’amalah dalam ekonomi Islam di Gunug Megang secara teknis telah berhasil di laksanakan. Masyarakat Desa Gunug Megang sudah mengetahui terkait edukasi Mu’amalah dalam ekonomi Islam baik mu`amalah al-Iqtishady maupun mu`amalah al-Maliyah dengan benar. Sehingga diharapkan kegiatan bermu`amalah masyarakat Desa Gunug Megang sudah ada yang sesuai dengan konsep ekonomi Islam dan ada beberapa yang tidak sesuai dengan konsep ekonomi Islam yaitu adanya beberapa takaran yang kurang pas saat melakukan muamalah salah satunya yaitu jual beli kopi basah dan jual beli padi basah. Hal tersebut dikarenakan adanya ketidak disimplinnya para penjual dan pembeli di sebabkan terkendalanya cuaca ektrim.

Introduction: Sexual dimorphism is one of the most important implications in forensic investigations and anthropological studies. Teeth are becoming a good source of material for gender determination. The canine is the most preferred tooth for gender determination because the canine is the strongest tooth in the oral cavity.
Objectives: To investigate sexual dimorphism in permanent mandibular and maxillary canines of a Sri Lankan Sinhalese population, and to ascertain the most suitable dimension (labiolingual, mesiodistal and crown height) to determine the sex of an individual.
Materials & Methods : The study was conducted using 384 dental casts (Males 192, Females 192) aged between 18 and 25 years in a sample of the Sri Lankan population. According to a selection criterion, casts were selected using a convenient random sampling technique. Mesio-distal, Bucco-lingual and Crown height of all the canines in the casts were measured using a digital vernier caliper accurate to 0.01 mm.
Results : Statistical analysis was performed using Minitab 17 and SPSS (Version 21). Unpaired sample t-test, paired sample t-test and point-biserial correlation were used for data analysis. The present study revealed that males show larger mean dimensions of canine teeth than females. Out of all four canines, mandibular canines show highly consistent results for sexual dimorphism. Further, crown height is the best measurement to evaluate sexual dimorphism.
Conclusion : It can be concluded that out of all the four canines, mandibular canines show highly consistent results for sexual dimorphism. Moreover, crown height is the best measurement to evaluate sexual dimorphism, in identifying an unknown .

Published: March 2023

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease which results in elevated blood sugar levels. Kigelia africana plant has many medicinal properties due to the presence of numerous secondary metabolites. The aim of this research was to evaluate the acute toxicity profile and anti-hyperglycemic potential of methanol root extract of Kigelia africana on alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Twenty (20) 3-4 weeks old albino rats of mixed sexes with body weight 60-100 g were grouped into five groups (GI - GV) of equal number of rats. Diabetes was induced in the rats of Groups GII -GV, while GI rats were considered as non-diabetic control. GII which is the Diabetic control were received no treatment whereas, GIII were administered orally with 5 mg/kg b.w of standard anti-diabetic drugs Glibenclamide, GIV were orally administered 250 mg/kg b.w of extract and GV were orally administered 500 mg/kg b.w of extract. After 14 days of the treatments, the animals were sacrificed and their serum was analysed for lipid profile, hematological parameters, liver and kidney indices. At the end of the study, the root extract was found to posses’ anti-diabetic potential and due to less toxicity at low dose of about 500 mg/kg, the extract is believed to be safe for consumption at low dosage.
Synthetic strategy of 2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone with core chemistry and biological importance
Authors: Chaurasiya Abhishek , A. Chawla Pooja
Published: March 2023

Due to the vast range of biological actions that rhodanine and its derivatives exhibit, they are recognized as privileged structures in pharmacological research. However, the rhodanine skeleton synthesis process has certain limitations. However, the rhodanine ring’s reactivity enabled the creation of various arylidenes at position 5 and carboxylic acids at position 3, respectively. The principal pathways of heterocycle alteration are determined by the most reactive sites in 4-thiazolidinone, which are 3 and 5. In a review paper, the chemistry of 4-thiazolidinones was discussed, in particular the rhodanine ring and several methods for its reactions, including ring modification. The study deals with thioureas and thioglycolic acid react in a single step, catalyzed by protic acid, resulting in the direct preparation of N-aryl rhodanines as well as the rhodanine skeleton, offering a novel method for the synthesis of rhodanine and its derivatives. The presented approach is simple, effective, atom-efficient, and practical in high yields.

Nanosponge: A review of advantages and application as promising drug carrier
Authors: Pragati  , Kumar Rai Vineet
Published: March 2023

Specific site drug is the major problem faced among researchers due to drug poor solubility in water and pharmacokinetic issues. These poorly-water soluble drugs show many problems in formulating them in conventional dosage forms and the critical problem associated is its very low bioavailability. The development of new colloidal carrier called nanosponges has the potential to solve these problems. Nanosponges are a part of nanotechnology. Nanosponges are tiny sponges with a size of about a virus, which can be filled with a wide variety of drugs. These tiny sponges can circulate around the body until they encounter the specific target site and stick on the surface and begin to release the drug in a controlled and predictable manner. In this review article, advantages and application of nanosponges have been discussed.

»Egal was wir tun, wir sind immer die Bösen.« Umgang mit chronischem Misstrauen und Glaubenssätzen bei Konflikten zwischen den Betriebsparteien
Authors: Troja Markus
Published: March 2023

In strukturell angelegten Konflikten, wie zwischen Arbeitgeber- und Arbeitnehmerseite, kann es unter anderem aufgrund der zwingend notwendigen Abstimmung und fehlender Entflechtungsmöglichkeit zu chronischem Misstrauen und dauerhafter Konfrontation kommen. Dabei verfestigen sich die Annahmen der Betriebsparteien über die jeweils andere Seite und werden zu Glaubenssätzen und sich selbst erfüllenden Prophezeiungen. Der Beitrag schildert methodische Möglichkeiten, solche festen Glaubenssätze zu verändern. Dafür wird der unter dem Titel The Work bekannte Ansatz von Byron Katie zur Umkehrung von Glaubenssätzen mit Kommunikationstechniken der Gewaltfreien Kommunikation kombiniert. Der Text beschreibt das Vorgehen anhand eines Mediationsfalles in einem Industrieunternehmen.

Published: March 2023

The question of whether or under what conditions municipalities may publish articles on current events in the local community has been a matter of controversy for some time. The aim of this study is to systematically examine municipal communication in the light of various decisions and to explore in greater detail the scope for local authorities to publish their own reports in print media, online portals and social media. In particular, the competences of municipalities to communicate and their limits, which can arise from both public law and private law, will be examined. Finally, the paper also addresses the possibility of procedural action against any transgressions by the municipality.
3D Printing of Biomimetic Functional Nanocomposites via Vat Photopolymerization
Authors: Tang Tengteng , Joralmon Dylan , Li Xiangjia
Published: March 2023

The complex structures and functional material systems of natural organisms effectively cope with crisis-ridden living environments such as high temperature, drought, toxicity, and predator. Behind these excellent survival strategies evolved over hundreds of millions of years is a series of effective mechanical, optical, hydraulic, and electromagnetic properties. Bionic design and manufacturing have always attracted extensive attention, but the progress has been limited by the inability of traditional manufacturing techniques to reproduce microscopically complex structures and the lack of functional materials. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a fabrication technique with a high degree of fabrication freedom and using composites derived from biological materials. Vat photopolymerization, an emerging additive manufacturing (aka 3D printing) technology, exhibits high manufacturing flexibility in the integrated manufacturing of multi-material systems and multi-scale structures. Here, biomaterial-inspired heterogeneous material systems based on polymer matrices and nanofillers, and the introduction of magnetic and electric fields on the basis of conventional 3D printing systems to spatially and programmably distribute nanofillers are summarized, which provides a new strategy for fabricating anisotropic structures. The application of this versatile 3D printing system in fabricating mechanically reinforced structures, polymer/metal structures, self-actuating, and superhydrophobic structures is also elaborated.
PID-like Fuzzy Controller Design for Anti-Slip System in Quarter-Car Robot
Authors: R. García-Martínez José , E. Cruz-Miguel Edson , Rodríguez-Reséndiz Juvenal , D. Ramírez-González Luis , A. Rojas-Hernández Miguel
Published: March 2023

The design strategy of an adaptive Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID)-like fuzzy controller for an anti-slip Quarter-Car robotic system is proposed. The proposed control system is constructed by two loops, an external one for lineal speed control and an internal loop for current control. A motion profile is used to follow a trajectory. The slip is computed, such as the difference between the linear velocity given by an S-curve velocity profile and the longitudinal speed calculated according to the rotational speed of the Quarter-Car tire. This difference is the input of the external control loop. Whether the slip is significant, the slave controller must do that both velocities go at the same speed controlling the current of the direct current (DC) motor. On the other hand, the mathematical model of a tire coupled to the DC-motor model is presented to simulate the system and controller response. To test the robustness of the system, different scenarios are presented where the slip coefficient varies depending on the work surface. Three surfaces were selected to test the performance of the controller, dry, wet, and icy surfaces, while the system had a trajectory.
Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
Authors: Rafique Azhar , Surrya Sani Sayydah , Sultana Salma , Sultana Tayyaba , Ashraf Asma , Shahid Mahmood Muhammad
Published: March 2023

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a widespread parasitic infection caused by the Leishmania, which is carried by female sandflies. The symptoms include basic ulcer to lethal systemic disease i.e., formation of widely dispersed skin lesions of diverse types. Almost 350 million individuals are at danger and the disease is endemic in more than 98 countries. There are globally 12 million cases, with 2–2.5 million new cases annually. Cutaneous leishmaniasis is considered as critically neglected disease by WHO. Earlier it was difficult to identify the infecting parasite, but modern DNA techniques make it quite simple to identify the Leishmania species, allowing quick treatment decisions. The quick identification of Leishmania is made possible using the PCR method. There is currently no vaccination to prevent leishmaniasis, and pharmacological treatment is frequently ineffectual. There is a need for broad and well-conducted investigations to help its control. Amphotericin B, pentamidine isethionate, paromomycin, and antifungals are some of the drugs recommended for treatment. By organising direct, in-person training, which is a crucial step in improving attitudes and preventative actions toward CL and its control in endemic areas, it is necessary to underline the significance and necessity of teaching this at-risk population.
Koroner Bypass Ameliyatlarında Sequential ve Doğal Y Greft Sonuçlarının Karşılaştırılması
Authors: KARAÇALILAR Mehmet , BAŞGÖZE Serdar
Published: March 2023

Amaç: Koroner bypass cerrahisinde anastomoz kalitesi ve uzun dönem açıklık sağlanabilmesi için pek çok teknik geliştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada yeni bir teknik olan doğal Y greft tekniği ile klasik sequential tekniğinin erken dönem sonuçları ve operatif verileri karşılaştırılmıştır.

Yöntemler: Mart 2015 ile Nisan 2018 yılları arasında safen ven ile sequential anastomoz ve safen ven ile Y greft yapılan üçten fazla distal anastomoz yapılmış koroner baypas cerrahisi uyguladığımız hastalar geriye dönük olarak taranmıştır. Kırk hastaya sequential anastomoz tekniği ile baypas yapılmışken, 45 hastaya “doğal Y greft” tekniği ile baypas yapıldığını gördük. Arşiv taraması ile hastaların demografik verileri, operasyon verileri, ameliyat sonrası takip verileri ile komplikasyon ve mortalite oranları karşılaştırılmıştır.

Bulgular: Hastaların demografik ve ameliyat sonrası verileri arasında istatistiki olarak anlamlı fark bulunamazken, kross-klemp süreleri ve distal anastomoz başına geçen kross-klemp süreleri arasında istatistiki olarak anlamlı fark bulunmuştur. Sequential grubunda ortalama kross klemp süresi 64.85 ± 13.32 dk. iken, doğal Y greft grubunda bu süre ortalama 58.82 ± 11.49 dk. olarak bulunmuştur (P=.03). Distal anastomoz başına geçen kross klemp süresi ise sequential grubunda ortalama 15.66 ± 2.51 dk. iken, doğal Y greft grubunda bu süre ortalama 14.38 ± 2.23 dk. olarak bulunmuştur (P=0.01).

Sonuç: Yeni bir teknik olan doğal Y greft, distal anastomozlar için daha fazla konfor sağlayarak kross klemp süresini kısaltabilir. Sequential tekniğine göre diamond şeklinde anastomoz yapma zorunluluğu olmadığından daha kısa öğrenme süreci sunabilir. Erken dönem morbidite ve mortalite açısından sequential tekniğine göre fark bulunmamışken, uzun dönem takipler ve invaziv görüntüleme yapılmış çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
Çok İlaca Dirençli Providencia rettgeri Suşlarında Karbapenemaz Direnç Genlerinin Araştırılması
Authors: DEMİRBAKAN Hadiye , KOÇER İpek , KOYUNCU ÖZYURT Özlem , ERMAN DALOĞLU Cemile Aylin
Published: March 2023

Giriş ve Amaç: Dirençli bakteriyel patojenler, hem toplum hem de sağlık hizmeti ile ilişkili enfeksiyonların önemli bir nedenidir. Providencia cinsi, Enterobacterales takımı içerisinde yer alan, daha çok üriner sistem enfeksiyonlarına neden olan Gram negatif basildir. Providencia rettgeri (P. rettgeri)’nin özellikle son zamanlarda yoğun bakımda yatan hastalarda kataterle ilişkili üriner sistem enfeksiyonları etkeni olduğu bilinmektedir. Diğer dirençli bakterilerde de olduğu gibi Providencia türlerinin neden olduğu hastane enfeksiyonlarının yayılmasından daha çok sağlık personelinin enfeksiyon kontrol önlemlerine uymaması sorumlu tutulmaktadır. Yöntemler: Çalışmamızda, hastanemizde Kasım 2017-Kasım 2021 tarihleri arasında 11 (%50)’i erkek, 11 (%50)’i kadın yatan hasta idrar kültür örneklerinden izole edilen, çok ilaca dirençli toplam 22 P.rettgeri suşu incelendi. Direnç genlerinin varlığı açısından bakteriler modifiye karbapenem inaktivasyon metodu(mCIM), BD Phoenix CPO saptama kiti (BD, USA) ve konvansiyonel PCR ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: mCIM testi ile 18 (%81,8) suş pozitif, üç (%13,6) suş negatif, bir (%4,6) suş ise belirsiz bulundu. BD PhoenixCPO saptama kiti ile suşların tamamı “B sınıfı karbapenemaz üreticisi” olarak tespit edildi. Konvansiyonel PCR ile isesuşların hiçbirinde OXA-48, IMP, VIM ve KPC genlerinde pozitiflik bulunmazken, tamamında blaNDM-1 geni pozitifsaptandı. Sonuç: NDM, sınıf B karbapenemazlar içerisinde olup, Enterobacterales takımında sık görülür. P. rettgeri’nin son zamanlarda New Delhi Metallo-Beta-Laktamaz-1 (NDM-1) yayılımında anahtar organizma olduğu kabul edilmektedir. Hastanelerde pek çok antibakteriyele karşı plazmid ile aktarılabilen direnç genlerine sahip bu bakterinin yayılımının kontrol altına alınması oldukça önemlidir. Çalışmamız hastanemizde de bu suşların izlenmesinin ve yayılımının engellenmesi için gerekli enfeksiyon kontrol önlemlerinin alınmasının gerekliliğini göstermektedir.
A Third Generation of Performance Contracting in Danish Central Government?
Authors: Bøge Kristiansen Mads
Published: March 2023

This paper compares the content of performance contracts in Danish central government over time in order to identify whether – and if so, how – it develops. The analysis is conducted as a two-step, mixed methods study. First, a quantitative study was carried out based on a study of all performance contracts in Danish central government in 2002, 2006, 2009, 2012 and 2014. For each year, all performance contracts have been coded according to the number and type of targets included in them. A range of qualitative interviews was then carried out, and Ministry of Finance recommendations were consulted to improve the un- derstanding of the results of the quantitative analysis and development patterns. The paper finds a general decrease in the number of performance targets per contract and a change in the relative share of different types of targets over time. During the period under study, the share of outcomes has increased, activity-oriented targets have decreased, and targets for internal management decreased in the mid-2000s before again increasing more recently. On this basis, performance contracting in Danish central government is argued to have entered a third generation.
Voluntary Turnover Among Public Sector Managers: A Review
Authors: Cregård Anna , Corin Linda , Skagert Katrin
Published: March 2023

Managers are key assets for the public sector in creating effective and healthy organisations. However, there are indications of a high level of voluntary managerial turnover that may decrease organisational efficiency, increase costs, and lead to a less favourable view of the public sector. In this article we review the literature relating to actual voluntary managerial turnover in the public sector in order to describe the current state of knowledge and to discuss the ways forward. Searching in three large databases, we found 12 empirical articles on actual voluntary managerial turnover in the public sector that were published between 1992 and 2014. Research is scarce, particularly regarding lower management levels, and little knowledge is available for human resource professionals in their work of supporting such managers in creating healthy and meaningful managerial roles. We argue that more research is needed to understand the extent to which and why public sector managers leave, and what the actual turnover effects are.
State Governance or Local Agency? Determining Refugee Settlement in Norwegian Municipalities
Authors: Steen Anton , Røed Maiken
Published: March 2023

The commitment to make provision for huge numbers of asylum seekers challenges Norway’s welfare state. Each year central government requests most local governments to receive a certain number of refugees. Local governments are free to accept or decline, and many are hesitant. The ensuing implementation gap stems from this central-local goal conflict and a decentralized decision-making system, embedded in an ideology of local autonomy and in local authorities seeking to accommodate state goals through feasible solutions. The focus is on the Chief Municipal Executive (CME, ‘rådmann’), the head of the municipal administration who exercises agency over government affairs. How do central state instruments influence this local agent and what are the consequences for settlement decisions? Economic incentives are the most important state tools in settlement decisions. Central information strategies, government appeals and persuasion seem, how- ever, to be less effective. In line with agency theory, CMEs’ sovereign assessments of the impact of state requests on local burdens and benefits are shown to be the main factor determining settlement decisions.
Planning for Polycentricity: The Development of a Regional Plan for the Oslo Metropolitan Area
Authors: Bergsli Heidi , Harvold Kjell-Arve
Published: March 2023

Polycentricity has become a principle of strategic regional planning in order to con- centrate land use and optimise infrastructure. This paper discusses the possibilities and challenges for a polycentric strategy in relation to Norwegian regional planning. The focus is on the spatial strategy in The regional plan for land use and transport for Oslo and Akershus, and its reception among local authorities, upon which the plan’s implemen- tation depends. We have studied the plan’s aims and principles in relation to the interests of municipal and district councils as these are communicated in consultative statements in the planning process. The plan aims to increase competitiveness, sustainability, efficient land-use and transport in the region. Polycentric principles are favoured in order to ensure territorial cohesion based on the aims. Even though the plan is generally supported, local authorities point to the risk of intra-regional competition, unequal resource distribution, and unsustainable densification in regional centres. These are challenges that may hamper the sustainable development of the Oslo metropolitan area.

This paper focuses on a national governmental school inspections program that was reintroduced in the Swedish school system in 2003. The program included controls conducted by governmental inspectors whose task was to strictly inspect, ignoring activities such as consulting and advice-giving. In the article, we show that while the reintroduced school inspections pointed to the contours of a stricter audit regime in Sweden, studies of micro-level processes provided a more complex picture. Based on an interview study including inspectors, teachers, principals and public employees in the Swedish school system, our results show that the practices of the inspectors did not change dramatically. The inspectors participated in institutional maintenance work that kept institutionalised practices more or less intact. The paper contributes to the discussion on institutional maintenance work by investigating the role of hybrid professionals (inspectors with dual loyalties and obligations both to the state and to their professional peers) and how their interdependent relationship to stakeholders affected the conditions and character of institutional work activities.
A Service Perspective on Work with Vulnerable Children: Frontline Staff’s Perceptions of how Management Affects Value Creation
Authors: Westrup Ulrika , Danielsson Pernilla
Published: March 2023

This article investigates frontline staff’s perceptions of how management affects theirview of value creation during day-to-day work with vulnerable children. The empirical data is based on dialogues during 15 meetings with 8 welfare professionals fromeducation, social services, and children’s and adolescent psychiatry. The analyticalapproach used in this article makes use of the service dominant logic (SDL) as a conceptual framework for studying frontline staff’s perceptions. The findings indicate that perceptions of management affect the staff’s view of value creation in orientationssuch as: (1) the delivery of ready-made expert solutions, (2) the simplification of value- creation processes, and (3) disconnected service systems. Overall, one conclusion drawn is that the SDL can be used as an analytical approach to understanding and exploring value creation in welfare services, thus contributing towards developing managerial applications for supporting frontline staff to a greater extent from a service perspective; however, there are some definite limitations.
What Shapes National Responses to EU Public Procurement Policy? The Case of Health and Social Services in Norway, Germany and England

Published: March 2023

This article investigates responses to EU public procurement directives in Norway, England and Germany, with a particular focus on health and social services. We used a comparative national patterns approach to analyse parliamentary debates, consultative statements, the media and interviews with stakeholders.

The literature contains prominent arguments suggesting that health and social service governance regimes are converging on the liberal model. Some authors argue that with its focus on policies which create markets, the EU is a driving force with an increasing relevance for market-based governance practices. However, the role of EU legislation is unclear as procurement regimes in relation to the governance of health and social services constitute a highly ambiguous terrain. Our study enabled us to show that the form of the debate is highly dependent on path-dependent mechanisms and the degree of openness of the national political system that provides channels for interests to be articulated. Indeed, the Norwegian case study serves as an excellent example of why marketisation has not advanced to the degree predicted in the literature: an inclusive and open political system and a strong non-profit health and service sector meant that the non-profit groups managed to turn the debate in their favour.
Reserved but Principled – and Sometimes Functional: Explaining Decentralisation Preferences Among Regional Bureaucrats
Authors: Myksvoll Thomas Margel
Published: March 2023

In recent decades, decentralisation measures have been implemented in most advanced democracies. While such reforms may be driven by subnational pressures and demands for empowerment, the central government usually has the deciding power to decentralise. Literature on regional preference has proliferated since the 1990s, though we know little of regional administrative preferences in relation to this process. As policy formulators and implementers, they are directly affected by dispersion of authority downwards, as it directly affects their organisational structures and portfolio of responsibilities. This article analyses decentralisation preferences among regional bureaucrats in Norway in the context of the 2015-2020 Regional Government Reform. Utilising an original survey and testing five explanations, the bureaucrats are generally reserved about taking on additional functions, with support for increasing their portfolio primarily explained by a principled motivation to increase regional autonomy, followed by feelings of regional attachment. Functional arguments also matter, though to a lesser extent. The bureaucrats’ principled, rather than functional, attitude towards regionalisation deviates from theoretical premises of decentralisation literature, while also challenging more underlying notions of bureaucratic thinking, inviting further research into how these dynamics manifest themselves among members of the civil service.
The 536 Dust Veil Event and the long 6th century
Authors: Gjerpe Lars Erik
Published: March 2023

When Bo Gräslund (2008) argued that two years without summer in the late 530s was the reality behind the Fimbulwinter myth, it became acceptable once again to blame the climate and weather for radical societal changes. In the years since the 2008 article, the Dust Veil Event seems to have caused every 6th century change, even though a few critics have raised their voices against these interpretations. Recently, several authors have highlighted datasets that do not work with monocausal interpretation, and this critique has gained support. This leads to the fundamental question: how – if at all – did the Dust Veil Event affect  Scandinavian societies? And following this: what methodology can we use to explore such an intricate problem? As disasters are inherently social phenomena, climatic change results in disaster only if societal circumstances allow. I will argue that resilience theory stands out as a promising approach, as it inherently considers the impact of nature as well as human agency, making the characteristics of the society stricken by disaster is as important as the disaster itself. Moreover, as the dating of the archaeological inventory is not accurate enough to relate material change to a single calendar year (such as AD 536), investigators need a long-term view. It is also necessary to consider circumstances such as long-term societal change and the geopolitical situation in Europe, and its impact on Scandinavia.

ABSTRACT
The background of this research is that parents of students pay less attention to their children's education, parents seem indifferent to their children, pay less attention to their children's interests and needs in learning, pay less attention to whether their children study or not, do not know the progress and development of their children's learning, lack communication between parents and children, parents who rarely ask or just remind their children's homework so that the difficulties experienced by children in learning arise, causing children to be less successful in achieving their learning. This study aims to determine how much influence parental attention has on student learning outcomes. This study uses a quantitative approach that is correlational, namely type assessment which aims to see and describe the influence between the two research variables. The population is 200 students/i, with a sample of 50% of the population (a sample of 100 students/i). The data collection technique uses a questionnaire.
