Authors: Slabunov A. I. , Nesterova N. S. , Maksimov O. A.
Published: September 2024

Three variably old groups of banded iron formation (BIF) are known in the Kostomuksha Greenstone belt (KGB) of the Karelian Craton. This paper deals with the earliest of them, Mesoarchean (2.87–2.81 Ga) – BIF-1. BIF-1 occurs among the komatiite-basalt unit of the KGB. BIF-1 consists mainly of quartz and magnetite, with varying amounts of amphibole, biotite, and garnet; they contain 48.3-58.6 SiO2 and 21.34–33.82 wt. %, Fe2O3T, suggesting that the rocks are BIF. BIF-1 of the KGB, as well as most Archean BIFs, contain high Fe2O3T, concentration, display a contrasting positive Eu anomaly, lost of Ce anomaly, the depletion of LREE relative to HREE. However, they stand out among other BIFs with high Al2O3, TiO2, MgO, K2O, Cr, Ni, Zr, Ba, Cu and Zn concentrations. BIF-1 was formed in a marine basin in an anoxic atmosphere due to hydrothermal fluids, the proportion of which varies from 20 to 80 %, and a terrigenous component derived mainly from basalts, komatiites, and dacites in host rocks. Mesoarchean BIF-1 of the KGB s was formed in a small rift within an oceanic volcanic plateau, the formation of which is associated with the influence of a mantle plume on the oceanic lithosphere.

Destinezite (Fe3+ Al0.02)(PO4)0.99(SO4)0.90(OH)1.20 ⋅ 5.97H2O (Czech Republic) has been studied by thermal and electron-microprobe analyses, X-ray powder diffraction, IR, Raman, and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The enthalpy of formation of destinezite Fe3 +(PO4)(SO4)(OH)⋅6H2O from the elements ∆fH0(298.15 K) = −4258 ± 12 kJ/mol was determined by the method of solution calorimetry in melt lead borate 2PbO ⋅ B2O3 on a Calvet microcalorimeter Setaram (France). The value of its absolute entropy S0(298.15 K) = 462.0 J/(mol⋅K) was estimated, the entropy of formation ∆fS0(298.15 K) = −2054 J/(mol⋅K) and the Gibbs energy of formation from the elements ∆fG0(298.15 K) = −3646 kJ/mol.

Published: September 2024

It has been established that the basement rocks of the Lower Maeotian section are characterized by the greatest variation in the chemical and isotopic composition of OM, while the carbonate rocks are more similar. It was revealed that the initial OM accumulated mainly under reducing conditions, but has some differences in its composition: for example, in the rocks of the Senkina and Sharabay bays it is an algal-cyanobacterial substance, and in the rocks of the Shirokaya bay it has a large contribution of the microbial component and the introduction of humus material. It was found that the isotopic composition of Corg has a strong variability (–19.27…–33.72 ‰), but most of the samples are in the range of –22.1…–24.93 ‰. It has been established that the 13Сcarb and 13Сorg isotopic curves in the studied rocks reflect their deviations both towards lighter and towards heavier values. The general direction of the isotopic composition, with some variations, nevertheless tends to be isotopically heavier towards the upper part of the sections. It was revealed that the litho-mineral-geochemical specificity of the sections reflects significant changes in sedimentation conditions, generally associated with fluctuations in the temperature and salt composition of waters, and bioproductivity. It is proposed to use such accessory minerals as zircon, monazite, ilmenite as an indicator of mud paleovolcanism.

Published: September 2024

Microbial biomass, diversity of cultivated bacteria and micromycetes, as well as the number of functional nitrogen cycle genes in the supraglacial systems of the Aldegonde and Bertel glaciers were studied. Biomass of microorganisms varied from 2.54 to 722 µg/g of substrate. It has been shown for the first time that the majority (78.7–99.8%) of the microbial biomass of supraglacial objects is represented by fungi rather than prokaryotes. Main part (from 70 to 90%) of the fungal biomass was mycelium, the length of which varied from 6.70 to 537.51 m/g of substrate. The number of prokaryotes varied from 2.4 × 108 to 1.95 × 109 cells/g of substrate. The length of actinomycete mycelium varied from 2.6 to 62.61 m/g of substrate. The abundance of cultivated bacteria and actinomycetes varied from 3.3 × 104 to 1.2 × 106 CFU/g of substrate, and that of micromycetes varied from 2.2 × 101 to 1.7 × 104 CFU/g of substrate. Bacteria of the genera Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Rhodococcus, and Streptomyces, as well as micromycetes of the genera Antarctomyces, Cadophora, Hyphozyma, Teberdinia and Thelebolus dominated. Micromycetes Antarctomyces psychrotrophicus, Hyphozyma variabilis and Teberdinia hygrophila were found in Svalbard for the first time. The number of amoA genes in ammonium-oxidizing bacteria varied from 5.33×106 to 4.86 × 109; nitrogen fixation genes nifH, from 9.89 × 107 to 9.81 × 1010; nirK denitrification genes, from 4.82 × 107 to 3.34 × 1010 gene copies/g of substrate. The results obtained indirectly indicate the leading role of fungi in the microbiome of the supraglacial objects of Svalbard and the significant contribution of prokaryotes to the emission of greenhouse gases from them.
Salt Tolerance of Fungi and Prospects for Mycodiagnostics of Contamination in Saline Soils
Authors: Fedoseeva E. V. , Terekhova V. A.
Published: September 2024

The review is devoted to the analysis of the characteristics of salt-tolerant fungi in order to identify the possibility of their use for indicating chemical contamination of highly mineralized soils and the search for potential test species for laboratory mycotesting. A list of representatives of halophilic and halotolerant genera of micromycetes is given, which can serve as indicators of pollution by heavy metals, oil products and other toxicants against the background of increased mineralization of soil substrates. For biotesting of soils with an average level of mineralization, micromycetes belonging to moderate halotolerant species are proposed as promising. The morphological, physiological and molecular mechanisms of adaptation of halophilic and halotolerant fungi to conditions of increased salinity of habitats are analyzed. The effects on fungal communities, which are caused by a combination of salinity with chemical pollution of different nature, are considered. Methodological aspects of the practical use of salt-tolerant fungi for biodiagnostics of the degree of unfavourability of saline soils are considered: the composition of media, cultivation conditions, and test reactions of fungal cultures that are optimal for an adequate assessment of the degree of halotolerance of fungi and ecotoxicity of soil samples.
The 2024 Parliamentary Election in the Republic of Korea
Authors: Chernetskii Fedor M.
Published: September 2024

The parliamentary elections in the Republic of Korea were held on April 10, 2024. Although parliament is not as significant part of the political system as the presidency, its role does increase if the president and parliamentary majority are from different parties. This scenario developed after the 2022 presidential elections, which were won by Yoon Suk-yeol. As a result, the government's ability to implement policies that go against the opposition's opinion was limited. In the 2024 elections the ruling party aimed to gain a parliamentary majority or at least maintain its current position, while the opposition tried to achieve a constitutional majority. As a result, there was only an internal reshuffling of the political camps. The Democratic Party once again achieved a convincing victory, winning 169 of the 300 seats, while another 19 were won by DP’s allies. The ruling party won only 108 seats, marginally improving its performance in Seoul and Busan. Despite internal divisions, «third» parties were unable to achieve significant results. The opposition succeeded in consolidating the protest vote to counter the Yoon Suk-yeol’s administration, who will face opposition from parliament during his remaining three years in office. However, the opposition failed to achieve its goal of gaining a parliamentary majority.
Intensification of Trade Interactions between the Regions of China and Russia
Authors: Khmeleva Galina A.
Published: September 2024

The article identifies the Chinese provinces that are the points of growth of the Russian imports. Their main supply channels to the Chinese market are concentrated in the eastern coastal regions of China, being traditionally more developed. Russian imports are growing faster through the Chinese pilot free trade zones. However, geographical and product diversification is still slow. The supply structure of Russian products is still dominated by raw materials, while imports of high value added products are growing rapidly in some regions of China. The rapid growth of Russian imports is observed in some regions of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, which creates additional opportunities for the intensification of trade interactions with the Russian regions within the project «Volga-Yangtze». The connection of the export sectors of the economy of the Volga Federal District with the import of China is considered in more detail in the article as a potential for further intensification of trade interactions. The regions with a high level of economic diversification (the Nizhny Novgorod and the Samara regions) have the greatest opportunities for developing trade interactions. Current conditions indicate that prospects for the further intensification of Russian exports to China are determined by the expansion of production (in the regions with a high share of exports to China and other friendly countries), development of transport and logistics system, adaptation of Russian products to the needs of the Chinese consumer. One way to increase exports of Rus-sian high-value-added products is to reduce barriers to the supply of such products in China’s free-trade zones. In a limited international market, Russian regions may have to compete more for Chinese consumers as the domestic market becomes saturated.
Christianity in Tang China: Texts and People
Authors: Alexanyan Armen G.
Published: September 2024

Christianity-jingjiao along with Manichaeism and Zoroastrianism is one of the so-called ‘three barbarian teachings’ san yi jiao, which were introduced in mediaeval China almost simultaneously. All three teachings were able to adapt to the Chinese cultural and socio-political milieu and became part of the Chinese religious and cultural landscape. The fragmentary character of the Chinese jingjiao documents, which were found in Dunhuang, and a very obscure social and political status of this doctrine, however, make it very complicated and difficult to reconstruct the place of jingjiao in mediaeval Chinese society as much as its ideological and doctrinal features because of the vast absorption of the Taoist and Buddhist elements. Such an obscure and very ‘fuzzy’ character of this teaching makes its impact on studies resulting in highly improbable and erroneous conclusions. In this paper, an attempt has been made to classify periodically the steps in the studies of the Tang China jingjiao phenomenon, highlighting three basic periods in it, to characterize each of them and to single out the most important authors and their works and to pose or re-formulate some questions, which can appear in the process of the investigation of this problematic religious teaching, e.g. linguistic and philological problems, including textological and palaeographical ones; problems of historical context, given the wide cultural and political aspects of Tang China’s connections with Sasanian Iran and Silk Road states; questions of ethnic and religious identity, which seems to be very ambiguous matter; problems of decline and disappearance of jingjiao in later period.
«TECHNOLOGY OF LANDSCAPING EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS» PROJECT AS A BASIS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION OF PHYSICS TEACHERS DURING THEIR FUNDAMENTAL TRAINING: ISRAELI EXPERIENCE
Authors: GRYNYOV ROMAN
Published: September 2024

This article addresses the pressing issue of fundamental training for future physics teachers, emphasizing the need to bridge theory and practice, integrate natural sciences with environmental education, and develop students’ research and environmental competencies. The focus is on the importance of collaborative project activities between educators and future physics teachers as a cornerstone of comprehensive training. The author introduces the project “Technology of Landscaping Educational Institutions” as a key method for environmental education during the fundamental training of physics teachers at a pedagogical university. Key project tasks included: 1) identifying ecological foundations for creating green spaces in educational institutions; 2) describing functional zones within the institution for potential improvements; 3) substantiating the roles of green spaces in the educational yard; 4) developing landscaping technology for the institution’s courtyard; and 5) exploring international landscaping practices through the example of Ariel University in Israel. The project was carried out through partnership pedagogy, cross-cultural communication, and inter-university cooperation between V.G. Korolenko Poltava National Pedagogical University and Ariel University. During the project, students, who are future physics teachers from V.G. Korolenko Poltava National Pedagogical University, engaged with scientific sources and the website of Ariel University. They participated in virtual tours of Ariel University’s campus and attended online consultations to assist with project tasks. As a result, Ukrainian students developed and presented reports on the technology of environmentalization for educational institutions and proposed their own landscape design concepts for the Poltava National Pedagogical University’s grounds.
The project “Technology of Landscaping Educational Institutions” is a paragon of partnership pedagogy, cross-cultural communication, and inter-university collaboration. Knowing the nature, students become harmoniously developed and comprehensively aware personalities, which is an important element of modern educational process.

У статті проаналізовано проблему виховання «важковиховуваних» підлітків в Україні та Німеччині. Важковиховувані підлітки потребують особистісно орієнтованого підходу з боку педагогів та уваги батьків і однолітків. Висвітлено педагогічні та організаційні складові виховання важковиховуваних підлітків в Україні та Німеччині. Обґрунтовано, що існує багато спільних рис у виховній роботі з важковиховуваними підлітками в Україні та Німеччині. Схарактеризовано важковиховуваних підлітків як таких, які є фізично і розумово здоровими, хоча при цьому здійснюють свідомий або несвідомий опір цілеспрямованому педагогічному впливу; для яких характерними є дефекти розвитку особистості (несформованість морально-вольових якостей, проблеми із прийняттям ціннісних орієнтацій) та порушення прийнятих у суспільстві норм і правил поведінки, що ускладнює становлення їх як особистостей, тобто їхню соціалізацію.
Мета статті – теоретично проаналізувати педагогічні та організаційні складові сучасного виховання важковиховуваних підлітків в Україні та в Німеччині.
На основі аналізу праць учених, які вивчали проблему виховної роботи з важковиховуваними підлітками в Україні та Німеччині, можна констатувати, що сьогодні існують спільні напрями у вихованні цієї категорії підлітків. Як в Україні, так і в Німеччині є групи важковиховуваних підлітків, у яких виникають стресові ситуації у спілкуванні, неприємності у школі, невпевненість та відхилення у поведінці. Ця категорія підлітків потребує професійної цілодобової безкоштовної допомоги фахівців педагогічної та соціальної сфери. Їх виховання здійснюється як в період освітнього процесу, так і в позанавчальний час як в Україні, так і в Німеччині. Важливим напрямом виховної роботи з важковиховуваними підлітками є індивідуальний педагогічний супровід фахівців некомерційних фондів, інститутів, що практикують застосування експериментальних педагогічних та терапевтичних методів. Теоретична основа цього напряму виховної роботи потребує доопрацювання в педагогічному, соціальному та матеріальному плані.
USING CLIL IN PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF FUTURE VOCATIONAL EDUCATION TEACHERS IN LEADING EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
Authors: ROSKVAS IHOR
Published: September 2024

The challenges of wartime have prompted Ukrainian researchers to seek the most effective methods for enhancing professional education, particularly professional training of future vocational education teachers. As a result, examining the leading European experience with content and language integrated learning (CLIL) in professional training programmes for future vocational education teachers is scientifically justified and necessary. It is found that the problem of using CLIL in professional training of future specialists is notably significant. In the context of globalization and European integration processes, future professionals must demonstrate high levels of foreign language competence and competitiveness in the international labour market. Leading European countries, including Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Spain, actively implement CLIL’s conceptual aspects in their training programmes. However, the specific features of these implementations, such as sectorality, strategies and approaches, assessment characteristics and material support, may vary. The main advantages and challenges of using CLIL in professional training of future vocational education teachers are identified. Based on leading European experiences, the most effective methods to enhance professional training through CLIL are substantiated. These methods include the development of integrated educational programmes, effective use of resources, differentiated instruction, systematic assessment and feedback, as well as reflective practice. Accordingly, relevant recommendations are proposed to improve professional training of future vocational education teachers in Ukraine by integrating key aspects of CLIL into curricula. It is defined that, by adopting these practices, future vocational education teachers can effectively employ CLIL to enhance both language and vocational learning, better preparing their students for success in global and multicultural work environments.
Further research is aimed at analyzing the content of foreign language training for future vocational education teachers in developed countries.

Published: September 2024

This study aims to explore the integration of multiculturalism and gender values in the Arabic language learning process at Islamic universities. Using qualitative research methods, the study analyzes learning content through observations and interviews. The findings reveal that multicultural and gender values are embedded in the textbooks used and are also reflected in the approaches, strategies, methods, and techniques employed by lecturers. These values are consistently emphasized throughout the Arabic language learning process. The results of this study provide valuable insights for further research on Arabic language education, particularly in the context of multiculturalism and gender equality. Unlike previous research, this study simultaneously addresses these two critical issues in education, highlighting that multicultural education cannot be fully effective without also considering gender equality as an integral part of the learning process.

Published: September 2024

The variability of the soil chemical attributes in an area where woody crops are integrated with forage is quite complex, so it is important to understand the distribution of these soil attributes and their correlation with the forage yield. This study aimed to analyze the spatial variability of the production and bromatological composition of Brachiaria and Panicum forage species according to the soil chemical attributes when cultivated in a silvopastoral system integrated with eucalyptus to optimize the forage yield and nutritional quality of the forage in this multiple-use system. The study was conducted in the municipality of Ribas do Rio Pardo (MS) in the 2011/2012 crop season, where linear and spatial correlations were analyzed between attributes of eucalyptus, forage plants, and the chemical attributes of a Neossolo Quartzarênico (pH, organic matter (OM) and organic carbon (OC) contents, and carbon stock (CS)) at two soil layers: 0.00-0.10 and 0.10-0.20 m. A geostatistical grid with 72 sample points was used. Spatially, eucalyptus height can be estimated by cokriging with OM, and cellulose by cokriging with pH. OM contents above 6 g cm-3 indicated sites with the highest eucalyptus heights. On the other hand, pH values below 4.3 indicated sites with the highest cellulose content for the forage plants. Using geostatistics is technically feasible for creating specific management zones in the eucalyptus forage silvopastoral system.
Enhancing Organizational Communication : The Role of Decision-Making Participation and Goal Clarity in Public Organizations
Authors:   The Korean Association For Local Administration, Kim Dong Shin , Hwang Kwangseon
Published: September 2024

This study investigates the impact of decision-making participation on communication within public organizations, with a particular focus on how the clarity of organizational goals moderates this relationship. Using data from the 2022 Public Service Life Survey conducted by the Korea Institute of Public Administration, the research examines communication practices among public officials in central and local administrative agencies. The findings reveal that participation in decision-making is a key factor that positively influences communication across multiple levels within public organizations. Specifically, it enhances interdepartmental communication, vertical communication between different hierarchical levels, and horizontal communication among colleagues. Additionally, the clarity of organizational goals emerges as a significant contributor to improved communication, particularly between departments and among peers. However, its influence on vertical communication is less pronounced. Furthermore, the study highlights that the clarity of organizational goals strengthens the positive effect of decision-making participation on overall communication within the organization. This moderating effect is especially evident in enhancing both interdepartmental and vertical communication, although it has a limited impact on horizontal communication. These insights underscore the importance of fostering participation in decision-making and ensuring clear organizational goals to facilitate effective communication within public organizations.

Authors:   The Korean Association For Local Administration, Pak Kyeong-hwa , Lee David
Published: September 2024

This study aims to examine the relation between an individual’s local identity and the inclusion toward social minorities, exploring on the moderating effect of social participation. Applying Social Identity theory, this study provides empirical evidence on whether local identity expresses as a common in-group identity. Using data set from the ‘Social integration survey’ on 2023, this study shows the following results; (1) local identity(sense of belonging) and social inclusion toward social minorities shows a negative relation; (2) local participation out of bonding participation has positive moderating effect on social inclusiveness, while alumni association has non-significant effect; (3) bridging participation has positive moderating effect on social minority. These results suggest that it is necessary to consider the attributes of social participation as well as individual’s sense of belonging toward local community, in order to enhance social inclusion for social minority groups.

This study uses securities class action lawsuits filed between 1998 and 2017 to examine the spillover effects of the lawsuits on the accuracy, precision, specificity, and horizon of peer firms' management earnings per share (EPS) forecasts. Peer firms with high ex-ante litigation risk improve their forecast accuracy, precision, specificity, and horizon following intra-industry class action lawsuits, mainly when the accusations are based on merits. The improvements in the guidance accuracy significantly decreases the likelihood of the peer firms being targeted in a class action lawsuit in the future. Peer firms with completed annual financial audits issue more accurate guidance compared to their counterparts with incomplete annual financial audits however, management EPS forecast accuracy does not incrementally improve for the high ex-ante litigation risk peer firms in the post-litigation period. Last, peers with high ex-ante litigation risk prefer bundled guidance over stand-alone guidance in the post-litigation period, aiming for a greater impact on analyst expectations.
Behavior skills training using video modeling and self-assessment
Authors:   , Kovarik Kaelyn Marie
Published: September 2024

Behavioral Skills Training (BST) is an evidence-based practice in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to teach skills. This method of teaching has been shown to be effective but can be time intensive for the expert trainers. This study evaluated an automated training package of modified BST with video modeling and selfassessment to teach ABA implementers a novel clinical skill. In this learning package three participants were given written instructions, a video model, recorded self-video, and self-scored implementation fidelity of administering an activity schedule. The results of the study show that this method of instruction is effective in increasing implementation fidelity across all three participants. A social validity measure indicates that participants found the method of instruction helpful, and the supervising trainer agreed that trainer time investment is reduced.
Coastal bivalve parasitism and its response to anthropogenic influences : a geohistorical approach
Authors:   , Fitzgerald Erin Eileen
Published: September 2024

[EMBARGOED UNTIL 05/01/2025] Parasites are common and essential parts of healthy ecosystems that influence biodiversity and trophic structure. Understanding how parasite-host dynamics have changed over time proves difficult due to the lack of body fossil record for these organisms. This thesis uses parasite-induced malformations, specifically trematode-induced pits and spionid polychaete mudblisters, to track parasitic prevalence and parasite-host dynamics over time periods often beyond traditional ecological monitoring. In the northern Adriatic Sea, we examine trematode-induced pit prevalence, aggregation, and size across two distinct time bins over the last [approx] 2ky years. Over this period prevalence decreased by an order of magnitude along with decreases in number of pits per host and pit aggregation, signaling a breakdown of this parasite-host interaction at this locality. At San Juan Island, WA we use parasitic malformations in live collected bivalves to examine parasite-host dynamics over nearly two decades. Through replicating a previous study using samples collected in 2004 we observe changes in trematode-induced pitting and mudblister prevalence over these two decades. Additionally, we see decreased parasitic prevalence among an introduced species collected in 2023 when compared to a confamilial native species indicating host selectivity among parasites in the region.
New professionals in the workplace : a phenomenological exploration of Division I academic advisors' career transition through the lens of social support
Authors:   , Hovey Scott Michael
Published: September 2024

While there is a growing body of research on employees' experiences within intercollegiate athletics, one group that needs to be better represented in the college athletics literature is athletic academic advisors (Hardin et al., 2020; Harry et al., 2023). This phenomenological study explored how NCAA Division I athletic academic advisors manage the career transition into their first, full-time roles. By examining the experiences of first-year, first-time athletic academic advisors and the transition process, scholars and practitioners can better understand how work role transitions may help facilitate workforce retention and successful careers in athletic academic advising. More specifically, this study emphasized the role of social support to identify how this mechanism influences the transition process and connects to organizational satisfaction, commitment, and retention. Data for this study included individual interviews, a focus group, and one open-ended survey question. Guided by Schlossberg's Transition Theory and Theory of Marginality and Mattering, the findings revealed the following five themes: (a) commitment and values, (b) individual initiative and organizational support, (c) coaches influence on role efficacy, (d) institutional knowledge and transitional adjustments, (e) unstable environments and role uncertainty. The study concludes by discussing the findings and offering implications for future praxis, policy, theory, and research.
Understanding secondary students' valuations of their normative identities in mathematics classroom instructional practices
Authors:   , Wambua Mitchelle Mbete
Published: September 2024

As students learn school mathematics, they form perceptions about what it means to be a student in a mathematics classroom. These perceptions influence the students' mathematics identity formation. To understand more about their identity formation process and their perceptions of various aspects of mathematics classroom instruction, I conducted a multiple-case study of four secondary students (two Pre-Algebra and two Geometry students). Through classroom observations, student surveys, and individual student interviews, I examined the students' perceptions of mathematics classroom instruction--not just whether the students like math overall, but rather hearing from them about their perceptions of the moment-to-moment instructional activities and practices in class, which ones they resonate with and their reasons for resonating (or not) with them. Findings show that although the students perceived largely similar obligations for most of the instructional segments, their affiliations with the obligations differed--they identified with the obligations that they not only enjoyed, but also found important for their success and that of their peers, and these valuations differed across the cases. Among other implications, these results suggest that students' identity narratives should have more explicit focus in mathematics education.

The Influence of Flexible Working on Performance with Job Satisfaction as A Mediator on Lecturers with A Millennial Generation Background at the Timor University
Authors: Huda Nurul , Aziz Syaefudin , Korbaffo Yesus
Published: September 2024

This research aims to determine the significance of the influence of flexible working on performance directly and indirectly, which is mediated by job satisfaction. The research method approach is quantitative, using primary data from questionnaires to 149 millennial lecturers at the University of Timor who were the research samples. The data obtained was then analyzed using the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach using the SmartPLS program. This research shows that flexible working directly significantly affects the job satisfaction of lecturers with millennial generation backgrounds at the University of Timor. Directly, job satisfaction also significantly affects the performance of lecturers with a millennial generation background at the University of Timor. Directly, flexible working does not significantly affect the performance of lecturers with a millennial generation background at the University of Timor. Indirectly, flexible working significantly affects the performance of lecturers with a millennial generation background at the University of Timor through job satisfaction as a mediating variable.
Influence of Worklife Balance on Employee Performance Through Job Satisfaction as an Intervening Variable (Study of CV Pujasani Boyolali Employees)
Authors: Putri Marhaeni Widias , Sugiarto Agus
Published: September 2024

This research aims to determine the relationship between each variable involved in the research. These variables are the Worklife-balance, Satisfaction and Employee Performance variables. The main discussion of all these variables will refer to the relationship between the work-life balance variable and employee performance through job satisfaction as an intervening variable. A good work-life balance implemented by an employee can allegedly influence the employee's level of performance. However, this research wants to know the role of other variables, namely the job satisfaction variable as an intermediary variable in this relationship. This research will use a quantitative approach by collecting data through a survey in the form of a questionnaire distributed to respondents. In this research, the respondents involved were employees at CV Pujasani Boyolali. The sample involved in this research involved all employees. The results of this research show that the work-life balance that has been implemented by employees has a significant influence on employee job satisfaction, the work-life balance variable has no influence on employee performance, the job satisfaction variable has no influence on employee performance and the employee job satisfaction variable is unable to influence the state of the relationship between worklife balance variable on employee performance. The practical implications of this research include the development of more proportional human resource management strategies in improving employee performance by paying attention to personal aspects such as work-life balance and job satisfaction of the employee.
Fishing methods of Can Gio fishermen: tradition and transformation

Can Gio is the only coastal district in Ho Chi Minh City, where its natural conditions are favorable for fishing by a wide range of methods and gears. Therefore, from its ancient days, in addition to agricultural activities, fishing became a means of livelihood for many households in Can Gio. In this article, we have deployed the field research method to study common fishing gears frequently used by fishermen in Can Gio district in the past and present to catch fish in “shallow water and deep water”, specifically, stow nets, other typical nets, hooks and lines, types of rakes, etc. Some fishing gears are still used by Can Gio fishermen today, but have changed adapting to the current conditions, especially in terms of crafting materials as well as fishing areas. The research on the change in fishing gears in Can Gio not only focuses on how fish are caught but also reflects the local fishermen community’s flexible adaptation through their fishing over time. More importantly, this greatly contributes to maintaining and fostering the traditional value of fishing in Can Gio district not only at the present time but also in the future.
