The objectives of cooperatives, as regulated in Republic of Indonesia Law Number 25 of 1992, include the advancement of members and society, as well as contribution to national economic development in accordance with Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. The function and role of cooperatives, especially in the economic sector, involves economic development members and society, improving the quality of human life, and actively participating in economic activities. The article highlights the strategic role of cooperatives as main actors in various economic sectors, providers of the largest employment opportunities, developers of local economic activities, creators of new markets, sources of innovation, and contributors in maintaining a balanced balance of payments through export activities. By referring to Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution, cooperatives are considered to be the main pillar of the Indonesian economy, with the basis of economic democracy which emphasizes collective production for the common good. As an economic organization with a social dimension, cooperatives are directed to always prioritize serving the needs of members and the community rather than solely pursuing profits.

Keterlibatan High Involvement Management untuk Menjamin Kualitas Manajemen Sumber Daya Manusia
Authors: Samsudin Acep , Prabowo Budi , Biela Sari Fatimah Salsa , Khoirunnisa Maulidya , Permana Berlian Dewa Prawisuda
Published: April 2024

Studies on human resource management (HRM) have been supported by previous research that there are best practices, high-involvement management (HIM) that can guarantee superior organizational performance. However, there are still concerns that contingency theory still applies, namely that the fit between the human resource system and its context, and in particular the organization's business strategy, is important, and thus, High-Involvement Management (HIM) will only outperform other systems in certain circumstances. In the 1990s, there was a spate of research that attempted to test whether High-Involvement Management (HIM) was indeed universally relevant. This journal reviews these studies. This journal first introduces the conceptual dimensions of HRM and performance. This suggests that the issues are more than a simple competition between universalism and contingency theory. There are more complex hypotheses linking human resource practices beneath the surface of the current literature. This journal reviews research based on these hypotheses, and shows that the studies provide an uneven picture. First, there are conceptual differences underlying the studies and, second, the results vary across studies, and the effects of High-Involvement Management (HIM) vary across performance measures, even within particular studies. Although quite a number of studies claim to support universalism, their claims are not always unequivocally supported by their research evidence, and it is premature to conclude that they support universalism. There is more support for the 'lean production' argument which emphasizes the interaction effect between DIA and total quality management on performance.

Exploring the Opportunities of Implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technology for Teaching Arabic to Non-Native Speakers: A Theoretical Approach
Authors: H. L. M. Mohideen
Published: March 2024

Language is a tool through which humans exchange their ideas and thoughts among themselves. It helps humans express their feelings and needs. Because of the global pervasion of Islam, the Arabic language unites Arabs and non-Arab Muslims under one religion. In Islamic perception, the Arabic language holds vital importance in Muslims' lives. Thus, Muslims consider learning and teaching Arabic in their day-to-day lives. Learning Arabic presents several challenges due to its complex grammar, diverse dialects, unfamiliar script, and significant differences from many other languages in terms of structure and vocabulary. These difficulties can make learning the language a demanding task for learners. This research aims to explore the importance of learning and teaching the Arabic language in the contemporary world, examine theoretical frameworks for incorporating AI in teaching Arabic to non-native speakers, and evaluate existing AI tools for it. The methodology adopted is qualitative. Primary and secondary data were collected. This research concludes that Arabic, as a language, is deeply intertwined with Islamic religious and cultural heritage, while also serving as a vital means of global communication. Teaching Arabic to non-native speakers poses unique challenges, but the implementing of AI technology offers promising solutions. AI enables personalized learning experiences, instant feedback, and diverse learning tools, ranging from text generation to virtual reality, enhancing language acquisition. By combining AI with traditional teaching methods, educators can address these challenges and maximize learning outcomes, ultimately shaping the future of Arabic language teaching to be more accessible, effective, and engaging worldwide.

Creating a COVID-19 Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) self-help resource for those with mild to moderate symptoms of the disease
Authors: Lawes Martin
Published: April 2024

This report discusses the creation of a COVID-19 Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) self-help resource available on YouTube in nine different languages. GIM, which is a specialist area of practice in music therapy, is best understood as a spectrum of methods. The COVID self-help resource is an example of ‘directed music imaging’, which is an outcome-specific GIM method where a talk-over or imagery script is spoken aloud whilst the music is playing. The resource is intended both to support the body’s own healing process in patients with mild to moderate disease and to provide psychological and emotional support. The suitability of the music used, Pärt’s Spiegel im Spiegel, is discussed, as is the talk-over and its relationship with the music. Special concerns that needed to be addressed in creating a generic online GIM resource for COVID patients are also discussed.

Published: April 2024

Objective: Compared to Mimas pigeons, Shiqi pigeons exhibit greater tolerance to coarse feeding because of their abundant gut microbiota. Here, to investigate the potential of utilizing intestinal flora derived from Shiqi pigeons, the intestinal flora and body indices of Mimas squabs were evaluated after fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from donors.Methods: A total of 90 one-day-old squabs were randomly divided into the control group (CON), the low-concentration group (LC) and the high-concentration group (HC): gavaged with 200 μL of bacterial solution at concentrations of 0, 0.1, and 0.2 g/15 mL, respectively.Results: The results suggested that FMT improved the body weight of Mimas squabs in the HC and LC groups (p<0.01), and 0.1 g/15 mL was the optimal dose during FMT. After 16S rRNA sequencing was performed, compared to those in the CON group, the abundance levels of microflora, especially Lactobacillus, Muribaculaceae, and Megasphaera (p<0.05), in the FMT-treated groups were markedly greater. Random forest analysis indicated that the main functions of key microbes involve pathways associated with metabolism, further illustrating their important role in the host body.Conclusion: FMT has been determined to be a viable method for augmenting the weight and intestinal microbiota of squabs, representing a unique avenue for enhancing the economic feasibility of squab breeding.

In this study, we evaluated the quality of frozen/thawed rooster semen treated with different concentrations of oral administrations of black ginger (Kaempferia parviflora: KP) extract and determined its fertility.Methods: Thirty-two Thai native roosters (Pradu Hang Dum, 42 weeks old) were used in this study. The treatments were classified into four groups according to the concentration of KP extract administered to the roosters: 0, 100, 150, and 200 mg/kg body weight. The quality of fresh semen was analyzed before cryopreservation. Post-thaw sperm quality and fertility potential were determined. Also, lipid peroxidation was determined.Results: The results showed that sperm concentration and movement increased in roosters treated with 200 mg/kg of KP extract (p<0.05). The malondialdehyde (MDA) in the roosters receiving 200 mg/kg KP extract was lower than that in the other but had an insignificant difference within the KP treatment groups (p>0.05). The highest MDA levels were observed in the control group (p<0.05). The percentage of motile sperm (total motility and progressive motility) after semen thawing was higher in roosters that received 150 and 200 mg/kg KP extract than in those that received 100 mg/kg KP extract and the control (p<0.05). MDA levels decreased significantly in roosters that received 150 and 200 mg/kg KP extract than in those that received 100 mg/kg KP extract and the control (p<0.05). Fertility and hatchability were greater in the KP150 and KP200 groups than in the KP100 and control groups (p<0.05).Conclusion: The optimal amount of KP extract influencing initial sperm quality was determined to be 200 mg/kg. However, 150 mg/kg was the optimal low dosage of KP extract administration that maintained sperm quality and fertility following semen cryopreservation.

The Effectiveness of ACT and DBT-Based Interventions with and without Exercise on Pain Outcomes and Desire for Treatment in Substance-Dependent Patients with Chronic Pain
Authors: Oveisi Abbas Ali , Shahabizadeh Fatemeh , Bakhshani NoorMohammad , Shakiba Mansour
Published: March 2024

Background: Managing chronic pain outcomes and addressing the desire for addiction treatment can be crucial for recovery from substance dependence and chronic pain. Objectives: This study aimed to control pain outcomes and enhance the desire for treatment using interventions based on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and physical exercise. Methods: This quasi-experimental study employed a pre-test-post-test design with a two-month follow-up period and included a control group. Seventy-five voluntary patients undergoing addiction treatment in 2021 at Taban, Hayate Pak, and Omid addiction treatment centers in Zahedan with chronic pain participated. Participants were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to five groups (ACT and DBT groups with and without exercise, and a control group). Data were collected using the Pain Outcomes Questionnaire-VA (POQ-VA) (Clark, Gironda, & Young, 2003) and the Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness scale (SOCRATES) (Miller & Tonigan, 1996). Acceptance and Commitment Therapy intervention (eight sessions), DBT intervention (eight sessions), and aerobic exercise (24 sessions) were conducted only for the intervention groups over two months. Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Bonferroni's post hoc test with SPSS-26 software at a significance level of 0.05 (P < 0.05). Results: Repeated measures ANOVA revealed significant changes for ACT and DBT interventions with and without exercise in the intragroup effect (time) for pain outcomes and the desire for treatment across the pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up stages (P ≤ 0.001), as well as for time-group interaction (P ≤ 0.001). Furthermore, the three groups exhibited significant differences in pain outcomes and the desire for treatment across the three evaluation stages (P ≤ 0.01). Notably, compared to other interventions, ACT intervention with exercise was more effective in managing pain outcomes and enhancing the desire for treatment (P ≤ 0.001). Conclusions: The findings suggest that ACT intervention with exercise, while controlling pain outcomes and increasing the desire for treatment, can contribute to successful addiction cessation and serve as an effective intervention in healthcare settings.
Promoviendo la educación inclusiva y la competencia intercultural a través de la literatura: una propuesta didáctica
Authors: Montaner Bueno Andrés
Published: April 2024

El incremento de los movimientos migratorios que se vienen realizando desde los últimos años del siglo pasado han convertido a España en una sociedad multicultural donde convive una amalgama de personas con diferentes culturas. Este fenómeno tiene una fuerte repercusión en nuestras escuelas que tienen que enfrentarse al hecho de haberse convertido en espacios multiculturales que requieren una serie de medidas específicas. Aunque la implantación de la educación intercultural, como respuesta a la situación de pluriculturalidad que vive nuestro sistema educativo, es una tarea de todos los estamentos que integran la escuela, en este trabajo abogamos por la necesidad de educar al alumnado en la aceptación del diferente como requisito indispensable para fomentar una convivencia pacífica e integradora. Para conseguir este propósito planteamos el empleo de la literatura, utilizando, para ello una pedagogía crítica basada en el desarrollo de tertulias dialogadas.
Securitization based on reverse mortgage in financial markets
Authors: Yüzbaşıoğlu Nuray
Published: March 2024

This study examines whether returns can be obtained when the securitization process is applied to the reverse mortgage system. To simulate future interest rate forecasts for reverse mortgages in the United States, data for the period 2012-2022 was obtained from "investing.com," Moody's, the Federal Reserve Bank (FED), and the World Bank databases. Using the Matlab software package, various combinations of input variables affecting the asset pool of reverse mortgages were simulated using the Monte Carlo Simulation method. This allowed for the estimation of the minimum and maximum values of future returns, total interest expenses, and total interest amounts to be distributed. The findings of the study suggest that returns are obtained when securitization is applied to the reverse mortgage system. Additionally, the Monte Carlo Simulation method is deemed useful for evaluating the asset pool of reverse mortgages, and it is believed that securitization can significantly contribute to the economy by converting the assets involved in the implementation of reverse mortgages into liquid assets.

Educational systems designed to meet the needs of academic advisors about adaptive learning will always be an essential issue, as this will be the beginning of the development of intelligent learning methods. In an educational institution, such as in a university environment, academic guidance carried out by a teacher to his students significantly affects the student's performance in the lecture stage, where educational guidance that goes poorly is allegedly causing difficulties for the student in carrying out his studies, or worst chance of dropping out of school. Therefore, this study aims to explore the potential and capabilities contained in the features of Educational Data Mining to predict students' learning performance which will later present various recommendations for academic guidance methods based on data analysis related to academic records and social and economic related data. In this study, we will propose data analysis and testing from recorded student data in an information technology class from a private university in Jakarta. The modelling presented in this study uses the Decision Tree, Neural Networks, and Naïve Bayes methods, which then implement these algorithms on academic data from 300 students of the 2017-2019 and 2018-2020 Information Systems and Informatics study program. From the implementation of data mining techniques in this study, performance results were obtained, which stated that the designed framework provided accurate predictions related to student performance.
