“Het is niet alleen voetbal dat je hier doet”: Ploeteren, steggelen en improviseren voor een beter verenigingsklimaat
Authors: Verhagen Stijn
Published: January 2025

Dit hoofdstuk gaat over het verenigingsklimaat en de processen die zich er kunnen afspelen. Zonder goed verenigingsklimaat is het niet alleen onprettig voetballen, maar is het ook lastig leden en vrijwilligers te vinden en te binden aan de club. Zonder po- sitief verenigingsklimaat zullen sponsoren en lokale overheden niet in de club willen investeren. Het verenigingsklimaat is voor clubs dus van vitaal belang. Toch zijn er de afgelopen jaren op de Nederlandse voetbalvelden de nodige incidenten geweest, met als dieptepunt de gewelddadige dood van grensrechter Richard Nieuwenhuizen. In 2010 stelde de KNVB dat de verruwing van het voetbal “de grootste bedreiging” is van de sport (NRC Handels- blad, 4 december 2010). Janssens (2012a; 2012b) geeft aan dat er al ruim een decennium over het thema wordt gepraat zonder noemenswaardige progressie (vgl. Van Kalmthout 2012).

Authors: Sarita Monika Claudia , Dewi Cynthia Sari
Published: January 2025

The advancement of digital technology has profoundly altered societal lifestyles, particularly impacting Generation Z or iGeneration, who have adeptly navigated digital technologies since early childhood. Concurrently, online gaming, exemplified by Genshin Impact, has emerged as a pivotal component of this generation's social life. The fluctuating popularity of Genshin Impact in 2022 underscores shifting preferences and dynamics within online gaming. This research aims to analyze factors influencing brand loyalty within this context. The study surveyed 150 Genshin Impact players from Java Island, employing quantitative methods with primary data and utilizing Smart PLS 4.0 for data analysis. Findings indicate that electronic word of mouth (EWOM) does not directly influence brand loyalty, while online communities and online advertisements positively impact it. Brand image mediates the relationship between EWOM and brand loyalty. These insights are expected to assist the gaming industry in enhancing brand loyalty strategies. By understanding these dynamics, stakeholders can better align their marketing efforts with the evolving preferences of Generation Z, ensuring sustained engagement and loyalty in the competitive digital landscape

During the last three excavation seasons, the ELTE Archaeological Mission to Iraqi Kurdistan focused on the Neo-Assyrian period. On the top plateau of the tell settlement, we uncovered parts of the citadel’s fortification and, at a depth of several metres, two monumental buildings which, in our view, were palaces. Research was carried out on the northern slope of the tell in two residential buildings belonging to officials’ households. These structures contained several intramural burials of different types, further indicating the Neo-Assyrian character of the settlement. Tools of imperial administration have been found, such as a duck-shaped stone weight, a cuneiform tablet, a cuneiform bulla, and a new cylinder seal. The three fieldwork campaigns significantly enriched our knowledge about an important local administrative centre of the Neo-Assyrian Empire (9th–7th centuries BC).
Sexual and reproductive health challenges confronting high school-going adolescents in low resource communities of Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa: Perspectives of teachers and school health nurses
Authors: Mbatha Londiwe , Nyamaruze Patrick , Gwelo Netsai Bianca , Akintola Olagoke
Published: January 2025

Introduction: To address the unmet sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs of adolescents, the South African government introduced various policies and programs, including the recent Integrated School Health Policy (ISHP). This policy provides students with comprehensive health services, including screenings for pregnancy, STIs, and HIV, as well as education on menstruation, safe sex, and contraception. School health practitioners are responsible for implementation of the ISHP, yet little is known about their perspectives regarding the SRH issues faced by learners. This study aimed to explore the SRH challenges that secondary school learners’ face, the contributing factors for these challenges and possible solutions to deal with these challenges from the perspective of school health practitioners.
Methods: We used an exploratory and descriptive qualitative research design to provide an in-depth understanding of the SRH challenges that secondary school learners encounter. In-depth interviews were used to collect data from school health practitioners comprising eleven Life Orientation (LO) teachers and four school health nurses. All the interviews were analysed using thematic analysis.
Results: School health practitioners perceive high unplanned teen age pregnancy, sexual abuse and lack of adequate knowledge of the symptoms of STIs as key SRH issues requiring attention among learners. Inadequate human resources hinder school health nurses from meeting the demands of screening and providing quality SRH services to learners. Perspectives of LO teachers suggested that they were insufficiently equipped to deliver the LO content. They pointed out a need for adequate training and provision of adequate teaching resources. Parents were highlighted as important stakeholders to be actively involved in the implementation of the ISHP.
Conclusions: The perspectives of school health practitioners are important in the delivery of the ISHP as they identify the implementation challenges they encounter daily as well as the SRH challenges affecting learners. Addressing these challenges can contribute to the effective implementation of the Integrated School Health Policy.

Since joining in 1989, Nelvy has been involved in multiple stages of this effort, playing key roles in the training of health promoters, management of water and sanitation projects, and training in healthy and nutritional practices. Since 1983, WVB has been developing programmes and projects with a multidisciplinary approach and focused on the well-being and quality of life of the most vulnerable children, families and communities in rural, peri-urban and urban areas of Bolivia. WVB has fought against inequality and injustice with the aim of transforming the conditions of vulnerability of its inhabitants, together with local leaders, authorities and communities. The first decade of WVB's work was linked to the work of local evangelical churches, which served as administrators of community programmes that directly supported children. The second decade was characterised by transformative development in health, education, agro-ecology and community leadership, emergency preparedness and justice promotion, strengthening the resilience and capacity of communities and partners to respond to current and future challenges to child well-being, including disaster response. In this narrated interview, Nelvy takes a historical look at WVB's work with health promoters and reflects on their future and challenges as agents of change in the Bolivian context.

ADOPTION OF THE PHILIPPINE PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS FOR SUPERVISORS: BASIS FOR INDICATORS IN THE IPCRF OF SCHOOL LEADERS
Authors: Aiza Lou A. Bernaldez
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of adoption of the Philippine Professional Standards for Supervisors as the basis for the IPCRF of school leaders. The researcher employed the non-experimental descriptive survey research design in investigating the research problem. Results showed that majority of the supervisors are in career stage 3, then followed by career stage 2, then career stage 4 and career stage 1 respectively. This simply means that majority of the supervisors consistently exhibit in depth knowledge and remarkable skills in performing their leadership skills and supervisory functions. However, collectively, the data also revealed that many supervisors are still in stage 2 as they independently display the required knowledge and skills in performing their leadership and supervisory functions. With the deduced conclusions, the researcher recommended that a Learning and Development program for supervisor should be developed to address their supervisory needs so that they can move to the next career stage in their professional development. However, collectively, the data also revealed that many supervisors are still in stage 2 as they independently display the required knowledge and skills in performing their leadership and supervisory functions.

RELATIONSHIP OF THE CONCEPTS: "OCCUPATIONAL PROTECTION" AND "OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND EMPLOYEE HEALTH"
Authors: Tsopa V. , Golinko V. , Cheberiachko S. , Deryugin О.
Published: January 2025

The definition of the conceptual difference between the concepts of "Occupational safety" and "Occupational safety" and the proposed changes that must be implemented in the occupational safety management systems (occupational safety and health of workers/safety and health of workers at work) in organizations in the case of adopting a new legislation.
To achieve the specified goal, research methods were used, which include theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific literature on the analysis of terminology, as a set of methods of research and description of language through its systematic comparison of structural ties between their various interpretations, with the aim of identifying certain specific and common features that will allow to systematize the acquired knowledge.
It is proposed that the concept of "Occupational safety" does not disappear in the concept of "Safety and health of workers at work", but becomes one of its main components and essentially transforms into the concept of "Minimum requirements of occupational safety". The concept of "Safety and health of employees at work" differs from the concept of "Occupational safety" in that it additionally includes requirements for managing occupational risks with the aim of reducing their levels to acceptable levels through the implementation of appropriate "preventive" and "protective" measures . It was established that the concept of "Safety and health of workers at work" differs from the concept of "Occupational safety", as it includes requirements for conducting audits of the management system of safety and health of workers at work, and also has a main difference regarding the need to develop policies and goals in employee safety and health management systems.
The scientific novelty of the presented research lies in the definition of the components of the concept "Safety and health of workers at work", which includes the requirements of occupational health and safety. The practical value of what is presented lies in the interpretation of the terms safety and health of workers at work as a combination of occupational safety and health in order to fulfill minimum safety requirements with a combination of supervision of the implementation of legislative and regulatory requirements of occupational safety and ensuring the investigation of accidents at work, as well as the addition of processes management of professional risks and audit of occupational safety management systems.

Authors: Vambol S. O. , Tkachuk K. K. , Shestopalov O. V. , Sakun A. O. , Vambol V. S.
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this work is to develop a scientific-methodological approach to the study of handling industrial and solid household waste, taking into account the visualization of information-analytical review. The relevance of this work is due to the high level of generation of various types of waste and technologies for handling them. The need to distinguish promising methods, technologies, etc. from the information flow led to the need for a scientifically based methodology for researching the problem, which includes modern forms and methods of information-analytical review. It is shown that one of the promising areas of analytical review, which should visually demonstrate the results, is information visualization. According to the results of the research, a scheme of linear-sequential methodology of waste management research is proposed, which has a stage structure containing the main components of these stages. In addition, a model of a combined-parallel research approach is proposed, which operates at the stage of analysis of the development of the main theoretical and technological foundations of solving the problem. A separate part of the work is devoted to the visualization of the information and analytical review for the proposed methodology. An algorithm was developed and the main parameters of information search were determined. It was established that visualization is an additional mechanism for speeding up the analysis of information and analytical data. Thanks to this, it is possible to determine promising directions in waste management technologies, as well as to understand the main trends in this field of knowledge. The authors of this work do not claim the universality of this methodology, but believe that the developed methodological approach to the study of industrial waste management, taking into account the visualization of information and analytical review, should be useful for researchers in the field of environmental protection technologies and environmental safety.
TO THE QUESTION OF DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY FOR ASSESSMENT OF PRODUCTION RISKS IN MECHANICAL BUILDING
Authors: Tairova Tamara
Published: January 2025

Goal. Develop the methodology for assessing production risks at workplaces of mechanical engineering workers.
Methodology. The methodology has been developed for assessing industrial risks during the operation of equipment, that can lead to dangerous situation with employee injury. Such a situation is characteristic of the complex argotic system, that is, the system whose constituent element is human operator. When developing the methodology for assessing industrial risk at the workplaces in mechanical engineering workers, the author was guided by the premise consistency that in order to prevent dangerous situations, it is necessary to have information as  about industrial risks at the workplace for previous periods and for systematic violations of the requirements of labor protection legislation by both the employee and the employer.The developed methodology for assessing industrial risks at the workplace is based on the use of statistical data on injured persons at machine-building enterprises in previous years, where accidents occurred due to violations of the requirements of labor protection legislation by both the employee and the employer, as well as by the employee and the employer (simultaneously). When forming data on injured persons by year, methods of mathematical statistics using the theory of stochastic processes were used. For the quantitative assessment of industrial risks in mechanical engineering, the basic provisions of the theory of probabilities and statistical data on the causes of injuries to participants in the labor process for each of the 12 years of the study were used. The formation of statistical data for the assessment of production risk in mechanical engineering was carried out at the State University "NNDIPBOP» and based on the results of the analysis of each accident at the enterprises of the industry. Scientific novelty. For the first time, the methodology of industrial risk was developed for assessing production risks, the occurrence of which is associated with the unsatisfactory state of production equipment and non-compliance by the participants of the labor process with the requirements of the legislation on labor protection in mechanical engineering assessment in mechanical engineering. The methodology of industrial risk assessment in mechanical engineering is based on statistical data on injured persons, analysis of the condition of production equipment, the work of which resulted in injuries to workers, and the developed algorithm for the systematic analysis of statistical data.Practical value.

Detecting sarcasm in natural language presents distinct challenges, primarily due to its reliance on contextual clues and the use of subtle, contradictory expressions. This research examines how the BERT model and Logistic
Regression (LR) perform in detecting sarcasm, emphasizing the importance of contextual understanding and various preprocessing methods. Using a social media dataset, we evaluate both models on sentiment analysis tasks after applying different preprocessing methods including tokenization, elimination of stop words, and noise reduction. We assess the models' performance using evaluation metrics like F1 scores and confusion matrices to determine their accuracy in recognizing sarcastic expressions. Our findings suggest that although BERT's bidirectional architecture provides a deeper understanding of linguistic context, it does not always outperform the simpler LR model when noise reduction preprocessing is applied. This indicates that preprocessing
techniques can affect model performance in varying ways, and selecting NLP models should align with the unique needs of the sentiment analysis objective. This study provides meaningful perspectives on the role of contextual models and preprocessing methods in improving the precision of sarcasm detection.

Published: January 2025

The adoption of International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) in Zimbabwe and the world over has been a critical component of the country’s efforts to enhance public financial management and ensure greater transparency and accountability. This paper examines the challenges faced by the Zimbabwean government in implementing International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) from 2019 to the present, examining both the successes and the challenges that have characterized this process to date. As countries around the world increasingly adopt IPSAS to enhance transparency and accountability in public financial management, Zimbabwe’s efforts have been impeded by several critical issues. The study was prompted by the need to understand the extent to which Zimbabwe has successfully integrated IPSAS, and the barriers that have hindered full compliance. This study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining a literature review with qualitative analysis of local case studies. The paper highlights notable achievements in financial reporting, capacity building, and enhanced transparency. However, the findings reveal that key challenges include inadequate funding, political instability, and resistance to change within government structures, technological limitations, and inadequate stakeholder engagement. The paper concludes with recommendations for a robust capacity building programme, enhanced collaboration with all key stakeholders, call for a greater political will, and the need for more efficient resource allocation to ensure the full benefits of IPSAS are realized in Zimbabwe's public sector, thereby improving public sector financial management and governance.

Authors: - Md. Al-Amin
Published: January 2025

The role of community radio is an essential tool in Bangladesh, focusing on its role in promoting good governance. The research aims to understand the conceptual linkage between community radio and governance, the current status of community radio practice in Bangladesh, and the strategic strengths and weaknesses of its current roles in governance. The research used descriptive literature and firsthand experiences with stations managers, officials, listeners, civil society members, people representatives, educationists, and practitioners. The findings suggest that Bangladesh's Community Radio (CR) provides the general public with an opportunity to participate in governance issues by providing information, allowing them to be part of content developers, and using the community's language. The government of Bangladesh has introduced CR policy and strategy to implement this policy positively, allowing the common masses to participate in the stations' activities. Despite some weaknesses, the study suggests that leaders need to use their power responsibly and for the greater wellbeing of society. The CR stations, their roles, and contents are considered powerful enough to make this attainment a reality. The study highlights the transformative role of community radio in promoting good governance and social development, particularly in Bangladesh, where it presents significant opportunities for enhancing media reach and addressing socio-economic challenges. By providing valuable insights and recommendations, this research aims to inspire policymakers and stakeholders to advance the community radio sector for the benefit of the population.
