AbstractAsam sunti is a typical seasoning Aceh cuisine made by processed belimbing wiluh (Averhoa bilimbi. L) in the form of semi-wet. Making asam sunti in powder form as well as other spices such as pepper, turmeric, and ginger others is expected to simplify and expand the asam sunti market as spice. The aim of this research were to make asam sunti powder, to analyze the effect of packing type on the change of water content of asam sunti powder, and to the estimation of shelf life of asam sunti powder in the packaging. Preparation of asam sunti powder was carried out by drieying a semi-wet asam sunti at temperature 70°C for 12 hours. Dried asam sunti was blended and sieved (80 mesh). Measurement of isotherm sorption properties was done using the salts of NaOH (6.9%), NaBr (56%), NaNO2 (64%), NaCl (75.3%), and KCl (83.6%) to regulate the humidity. The packaging tested for asam sunti powder storage was aluminum foil, HDPE and PP. Critical water content to a determine of shelf life of asam sunti powder at 21.26% with powder conditions starting to clot and not accepted by consumers.

Published: January 2022

Esport was very close to be medal awarded competition at the 2022 Asian Games, finally esport excluded from the Asian Games but all is not lost that is delayed. We have come a long way since the first real esport tournament, for which the first-place prize was a year-long Rolling stone magazine subscription. Nowadays in the digitalized world esport develops faster than any other sport, and plays an important role in the entertainment industry as well. Stadiums are crowded, streams are watched by millions worldwide, and the pace doesn’t seem to ease up in the future either. As Hungary is trying to step onto international waters, our main goal was to make a comprehensive review of the Hungarian esport ecosystem analyzing the national picture of electronic sport. Although there is not much domestic literature regarding the topic, as a secondary research we choose to use available Hungarian papers to piece together a comprehensive picture. We move on step by step through the biggest stakeholders: the publishers, the biggest domestic competitions, the most successful players, platforms, brands and of course the fans in domestic circles.

Investment analysis of a piglet producer farm – a Hungarian case study
Authors: Szűcs István , Szántó László , Szőllősi László
Published: January 2022

The pig population in Hungary was about 8 million in 1990, while this number dropped to only 2.8 million by 2018. The previously so successful integrated domestic pig farming has almost completely disappeared and most of the smaller farms still operating in the 1990s are no longer functioning. At present, a process of concentration can be observed, which was accompanied by the further specialization of pig farming. The main profile of most pig farms is fattening, but there is a smaller number of farms in Hungary today specialized for piglet production, the successful operation of which requires significantly more expertise and more complex technology.

The main aim of this study is to present the production and economic indicators of a pig farm specialized in piglet production in Hungary as a result of a greenfield investment in the current economic environment, on a case study basis. For this purpose, an economic simulation was prepared based on primary data collection, operating on a deterministic basis, modelling the production and economic processes of the farm. The performed calculation does not derive the economic indicators of the activity from accounting records, but assigns the prices of natural inputs used on the basis of technological data. Primary data and information collection (e.g. technological data, input and output prices, unit cost items, etc.) took place between 2018-2019.

At the purchase prices of pigs in the last two years, which have increased significantly due to the African Swine Fever (ASF), the majority of pig farms in Hungary have an outstanding profit-making capacity. The physical efficiency indicators of the analysed pig farm are almost identical to the average data of such farms in the Netherlands, which has one of the most developed pig industry. The income of the examined pig farm at farm level is about 734 thousand EUR, i.e. 232 EUR per sow. Moreover, this activity is profitable even without subsidies. As a result, the greenfield investment pays off in the 8th year by default (average scenario). The investment has a Net Present Value (NPVr=3%) of EUR 2,609 thousand for 10 years, an Internal Rate of Return of 8.5%, and a Profitability Index (PIr=3%) of 1.3. At the same time, risk factors such as sales prices, output and capacity utilization, and feed costs should be taken into consideration as in extreme cases the return on investment may be unfavourable (pessimistic scenario).

Published: January 2022

Nowadays, consumers have a full of knowledge on products and services, and their daily consumption of healthy and environmentally friendly products has been increasing. Therefore, businesses need to implement green marketing activities, so they need to be aware of environmental issues and consumer needs while maintaining financial sustainability and competitiveness. (Belz & Karstens, 2002). Examples are the rapid growth of organic food products, as consumers are concerned with their health and environmental issues in their day-to-day purchasing decisions. Over 20 years ago, in 1999, the market for organic food products sales was $ 15.2 billion, while sales in 2017 increased to $ 97 billion, indicating that the world's organic food market is growing rapidly. The organic food market is growing by $5 billion a year, and as of 2014, 172 countries have organic food farm land according to the “The World of Organic Agriculture”. Since the market for organic products is a new market for Mongolia, previous surveys in are relatively small. Therefore, this is aimed at conducting a study on behavioral approaches of consumers of organic food products in Ulaanbaatar. We have run statistical and multi-criteria decision making analysis based on given data of consumers. We also apply Harker’s techniques for complete and incomplete evaluation matrices which are defined from consumers decision making. Numerical examples are presented.

Forest damage in Indonesia has been increasing from year to year, both forest damage caused by illegal logging, forest burning, mining without permits, and plantations without permits have caused state losses, damage to socio-cultural life and the environment, as well as increasing global warming which has become national, regional and international issues. Forest damage caused by forest fires carried out by the community both for clearing agricultural land and for plantation land, burning forests and land seems to never stop threatening the lives of people in Indonesia because most Indonesian people become farmers, especially those in the regions. who must clear forests for agricultural land. This is because local governments have the authority to regulate and limit the permits of companies operating in the forestry, plantation and mining sectors in their respective areas. Therefore, local governments must make policies and make concrete mitigation in terms of preventing and eradicating forest destruction that occurs in each region.
INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH IN THE STUDY OF MARITAL LAW (STUDY OF THE DETERMINATION OF CHILD COSTODY)
Authors: Afriyani Silfa
Published: January 2022

An interdisciplinary approach is an approach that uses various scientific fields in solving a problem. The determination of child custody is usually decided by considering the age of the child. Children who are not yet mumayiz are taken care of by the mother, but when the child is an adult, they are given the choice to live with the mother or father. Through this study, the author examines the determination of child custody according to Islamic law and the Marriage Law and by using psychology and economics. That the custody of children in care must be assigned to the right person. From this paper, the author concludes that according to Islamic law, the determination of child custody takes into account the age of the child. According to Law no. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, the determination of child custody before adulthood is decided by a local court judge. In psychology, the determination of child custody takes into account the mental or psychological aspects of the child. Especially in terms of the child's emotional closeness, closer to the mother or father. So that way, the child's condition will be better in living their daily lives and not getting pressure. Meanwhile, by using economics, the determination of child custody is seen from the financial stability of both parents, both from the mother and from the father. Because in carrying out child care requires financially established, so that the needs of children can be met properly. So, in determining child custody, it can not only be seen from the age of the child but can use other considerations.

O Direito à Explicação nas Decisões Automatizadas: uma Abordagem Comparativa Entre o Ordenamento Brasileiro e Europeu
Authors: Barbosa Tales Schmidke , Toniazzo Daniela Wendt , Ruaro Regina Linden
Published: January 2022

As decisões automatizadas podem trazer grandes benefícios para a humanidade, sendo inegável também que as máquinas representam perigo à autonomia do ser humano, como indivíduo, e podem gerar mecanismos potencialmente discriminatórios em razão da possibilidade de manejo perverso de algoritmos. Embora as tecnologias da inteligência artificial utilizadas nas decisões automatizadas sejam apresentadas como neutras, elas não o são, sendo algumas utilizadas inclusive para modulações de comportamento humano obtidas com o perfil da extração de dados, construindo-se um mundo perfeito de consumos personalizados. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar o conceito de decisão automatizada e a extensão do alcance do direito à explicação no tratamento automatizado de dados no ordenamento brasileiro em comparativo com o ordenamento europeu. O direito à explicação, um dos imperativos das orientações éticas para uma inteligência artificial de confiança nas decisões automatizadas, mostra-se de extrema relevância como critério oponível aos mecanismos discriminatórios e ao combate à opacidade desse tipo de inteligência. O fato é que toda decisão automatizada deve ser explicável, tanto no que se refere à sua lógica subjacente quanto ao fundamento da decisão. Também não é razoável a exclusão do elemento humano na revisão da decisão automatizada. O presente trabalho observará, por meio comparativo, os requisitos autorizadores da decisão automatizada e suas consequências. Além disso, para a busca do resultado almejado, será realizada uma comparação do conceito do direito à explicação nos ordenamentos europeu e brasileiro. Como resultado do presente estudo, concluiu-se que a União Europeia trata a decisão automatizada como uma proibição, enquanto no Brasil existe um direito à revisão da decisão automatizada, deixando de garantir também que essa revisão seja humana. Inexiste no Brasil, portanto, amparo legal para o direito à explicação.

‘They thought I wasn’t good enough for social work practice’
Authors: Poletti Alberto , Anka Ann
Published: January 2022

The few studies of why social work students fail their practice learning opportunity (PLOs) have been undertaken through the lens of practice educators, lecturers and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) with no input from students. Using qualitative interviews; this research explores the reasons for failure from the perspective of the students. The findings identified a number of interrelated issues such as previous work experiences, family history and personal circumstances as the rationale for what led those interviewed into social work. Issues such as ill health, personal problems and lack of clarity around assessment criteria as well as perceived lack of support from HEIs were identified as some of the factors that led students to fail their practice learning experiences. Recommendations from those interviewed included the suggestion that HEIs should, at the recruitment stage, provide clear information about the implications of failing practice learning opportunities and clarify what type of support for is available for those who fail. The students interviewed also echo the desire expressed by the HEIs and practice educators for clearer assessment criteria/frameworks and a more supportive process for all parties.
‘That was awful! I’m not ready yet, am I?’ Is there such a thing as a Good Fail?
Authors: Eno Stuart , Kerr Judy
Published: January 2022

Failing students in practice placement is frequently viewed as a negative and emotionally challenging experience for students and practice teachers and, as such, a situation to be avoided. In this article the notion that failing is the ‘right thing to do’ is explored from the perspective of Senior Agency based Practice Educator and a University Course Director for Practice Learning and from their experience of supporting both students and practice educators in the process.Reasons for failure are considered and the concept of ‘reluctance to fail ‘is explored in the context of the expectations of assessment of practice. We argue that there is such a thing as a ‘good fail’ and that Social Work educators need to support the positive challenges of rigorous assessment rather than focus on the uncomfortable ‘feelings’ surrounding the notion of failure.Practice educators have an important gate keeping function which needs recognition in the process of assessing readiness to practise. We suggest that not only do practice educators and tutors need to embrace a fail recommendation as justifiable but also that students themselves are able to recognise a lack of readiness to practise and can acknowledge a sense of’ relief’ in a fail outcome.
What can social workers learn from African proverbs?
Authors: Tedam Prospera
Published: January 2022

There continues to be a call on social work education to incorporate diverse teaching and learning resources and strategies to meet the needs of its diverse learners. Proverbs tend to be well known metaphors, which are memorable and are passed on from one generation to the next, and exist in all cultures and in many languages. This paper presents an innovative and creative use of proverbs to facilitate this process, and provides students from different cultures the opportunity to understand and contextualise aspects of social work education and practice. The paper proposes the use of African proverbs to enhance learning for the growing numbers of African students of social work in England.It is hoped that the use of proverbs, which combine cultural heritage and literature as creative arts, will enable students to view the world of social work with an additional lens, making it relevant, interesting and meaningful. The proverbs used in this paper have been translated from various African languages into English.Writing from the perspective of a black female African social work academic, I believe it is important that black people are producers of knowledge and ideas in order to become a part of the writing of their own history.
Better integration of education and practice? Promoting research-based social work
Authors: Piippo Sisko , Hämäläinen Juha , Savolainen Anssi , Suonio Mari , Väisänen Raija
Published: January 2022

This article deals with development work that aimed at promoting a better integration of social work university education and social work practice. The development work incorporated the academic world into the working life of social workers in rural areas. As a result, a permanent university-agency network was established, consisting of a university-coordinated networked infrastructure of 26 significant employer organisations (municipalities and nongovernmental organisations). Seminars, workgroups and a continuing education course for practice educators were modelled and realised as network activities. The network has enhanced collaboration. To support the aims of social work education to promote the use of scientific methods and techniques in practice, a significant structure for better interaction with the practice field has been created. Practitioners do have enthusiasm for development work and it is essential in terms of research-based social work as to how this is resourced, supported and utilised by educational solutions. However, in addition to the university-practice relationship, the relationship between individuals and their employer agencies is also key in terms of escalating learning into the organisational context.
Group programs in corrections. Best practice meets real world
Authors: O'Sullivan Kevin
Published: January 2022

The past decade has seen a very significant cultural shift in how group programs are delivered in prisons and in probation and parole settings in New South Wales, Australia. The agency responsible for custodial and community corrections services, Corrective Services New South Wales (CSNSW) is making its way from a culture of considerable autonomy, where staff largely wrote and ran group programs in the way that seemed best to them, to an organisation where systems exist for accreditation, training, supervision and systematic data collection. The transformation to model agency is not complete, but considerable progress has been made and this is borne out by the preparation and publication of a number of significant papers describing the outcomes of program interventions. This paper appraises the progress so far in the introduction of evidence-based group work and offers some reflections on the challenges faced in moving a large organisation concerned with security and offender supervision towards best practice in group rehabilitative programs.
Finding the perfect match
Authors: Simpson Diane , Mathews Ian , Crawford Karin
Published: January 2022

Prior to the commencement of a practice placement, a social work student will usually be invited to meet formally with their practice educator, and sometimes other members of the team, in their work setting to discuss a range of issues about the forthcoming placement. In the absence of significant research about these pre-placement meetings, this small-scale study examined the understandings and experiences of social work students and practice educators regarding the role played by this meeting. Qualitative methods were employed to answer a range of questions related to how the pre-placement meeting was used to aid decision-making about the viability of the placement, participants’ perceptions of the meeting, and concerns about the process that needed to be addressed. Findings indicate that there are a variety of ways in which the meeting is configured and organised, understood and used. The implications for the organisation of social work practice placements are discussed.

Sustaining partnership working in practice learning: An exploration of the perspectives of practice teachers and students
Authors: Brodie Ian , Coyle Brian
Published: January 2022

This paper reports the findings of a small-scale study undertaken by one university – Glasgow Caledonian University- to test the state of ‘partnership working’ between the university and placement providers. The study was conducted in two stages with 35 practice teachers responding to an on-line survey in stage one, and 16 practice teachers and students participating in interviews at stage 2. Overall findings indicate that the university has managed to sustain effective partnership working, despite organisational changes and resource constraints but that a number of improvements should be made to existing arrangements so that partnership working and the quality of practice learning can be further enhanced. It is evident that ‘independent practice teachers’ and ‘work-based supervisors’ have an increasing presence on the practice learning landscape, requiring a careful examination of their roles and responsibilities.

Building skills in psychiatric assessment through an online problem-based learning course
Authors: Swanke Jayme , Zeman Laura Dreuth
Published: January 2022

Clinical social workers use psychiatric assessment on most clients in the US. Insurance companies that pay for counseling need diagnoses on claim forms. Despite the need for diagnostic skills, a gap exists between education and practice. The Council on Social Work Education standards do not include competencies addressing psychiatric diagnosis. Consequently, not all programs offer students this training. This paper outlines an online Problem Based Learning (PBL) course in psychiatric diagnostic assessment for graduate social work students. It provides findings from an evaluation of the first two years a US public university offered the course online. The study provides an understanding of the learners’ experiences with online learning and their demonstration of skill in psychiatric assessment. It shows how one school of social work tried to fill the gap between education and practice related to diagnostic assessment.
Infusing aging competencies: Lessons from BSW students following service-learning assignment with older adult
Authors: Cawood Natalie D , Garrison Rebecca J
Published: January 2022

This study examined the extent to which a mandatory service-learning experience impacted Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) students’ attitudes and interest in working in gerontological social work and identified factors that influence a student’s desire to work with aging populations. Using a convenience sample of 51 BSW students, participants either conducted a structured life review or a friendly visitor assignment with an older adult. Participants were a diverse group of primarily female students, ranging in age from 20-57 years old. Pre- and post-survey results suggest that intergenerational service-learning in social work can be a valuable instructional technique, helping students to maintain or increase interest in working with elder populations, alleviating concerns of working in gerontological settings, and giving insights into both the challenges and rewards of this field of work.Keywords aging/gerontology; practice learning; service learning; experiential teaching methods; social work education

Authors: Higgins Martyn
Published: January 2022

Abstract: The social work reform agenda sought to transform social work education. The aim was to make qualifying social work education effective at producing social workers fit for practice. A number of reforms have been implemented. These include among others the Professional Capabilities Framework. This framework provides a single set of standards for all social workers from initial qualification to advanced practice. The problem for social work reform and the Professional Capabilities Framework is that elements of the reform remain contested. Despite the implementation of the reforms in 2013 differences continue to exist about the nature and purpose of social work. The key message of this paper is that reconfiguring the Professional Capabilities Framework within Sen’s capabilities or human development approach will provide social work education with a more comprehensive foundation with which to engage effectively with contemporary debates about social work education.Keywords: professional capabilities framework; Sen; Naussbaum; capabilities approach; human development model

Authors: Muskat Barbara , Anthony Samantha , Mishna Faye , Greenblatt Andrea
Published: January 2022

Abstract: This paper describes a qualitative study about a Master’s level elective course offered on-site at a Canadian pediatric hospital and delivered by frontline hospital social workers. Ten social workers and four students participated in the study which captured their experiences in the course. A grounded theory approach guided this study. Social workers discussed an enhanced sense of professional self, impact on their daily roles and various opportunities resulting from participation. Students discussed diversity, development of a realistic understanding of the social work role and the unique format of the course. Implications for future course development and university-agency partnerships are discussed.Keywords: social work; education; pediatrics; hospital; teaching
Interprofessional interactions study
Authors: Strudwick Ruth Mary , Harvey-Lloyd Jane Marie
Published: January 2022

Abstract: This small scale study explored the interprofessional interactions that occur in practice between students and other professionals. The students completed a one week structured diary of their contact with other professionals, using these two proximity categories: Proximity 1 – within speaking distance but no interaction with the other professional or Proximity 2 – having direct interaction with the other professional. Eight students participated in the study and 31 different professionals were listed. The results varied between students from different year groups and on different courses. Each student recorded different experiences and there was a large variety in the interprofessional interactions that were recorded. The data collected will allow real experiences from practice to be used in interprofessional learning sessions and the results of this study can be used to illustrate to students which professional groups they are likely to encounter in practice.Keywords: Interprofessional education; Health and social care education; Communication; Interactions

“Technology and Boundary Concerns in Social Work Field Education”
Authors: Barsky Allan
Published: January 2022

Field educators and social work students use technology in various realms of practice, including provision of services to clients and provision of supervision for students. This article identifies how professional boundary issues may arise when social workers, field educators, or students use technology. This article also explores four ways that field educators can educate and support students in relation to pre-empting and managing technology-related boundary issues: policy clarification, role modeling through interactions with clients and others, role modeling within supervisory relationship, and advocacy.
Virtual Reality: what it offers, and how it can be used easily (and inexpensively) by health & social care tutors.
Authors: Blakeman Paul
Published: January 2022

Virtual reality (VR) is an area of significant research interest in many fields, although the paucity of literature relating to its use in social care or field placements may suggest that it has not yet found a role in practice or education. This paper will set out the case for greater engagement with the most accessible forms of the technology, using a case study to show it need not be complicated or expensive. It will also illustrate some of the affordances offered by VR to enhance education.
An Exploration of Issues affecting the assessment of social Work students on practice placement in England
Authors: Caffrey Bridget , Fruin Helen
Published: January 2022

The authors of this practice note acknowledge the centrality of practice learning in social work training in England. They recognise it is a defining feature of social work training. However they critically discuss the current model used to assess social work students on placement in England; a process prompted by research one of the authors presented at the 12th International Conference on Practice Teaching and Field Education in Health and Social Work, September 2018.The PN reviews persitant issues in the assessment of students on placement  and argues these have been exacerbated by changes to practice within the English  higher education system and social work practice. They argue the current system is fundamentally flawed and encourage the SW profession  to reflect using imagination and creativity to envisage alternative ways to assess students practice and to identify new ideas to pilot.
Before and After: Digital story telling with social work students in Northern Ireland
Authors: MacDermott Denise , Harkin-MacDermott Caoimhe , Wylie Siobhan
Published: January 2022

Abstract: This article is developed from a presentation given at the 12th International practice teaching conference in Oxford (2018). The authors share their experiences as academics and practice educators of using digital storytelling with social work students in Northern Ireland. Storytelling took place at two distinct points of the students’ learning journey before and after placement. Undergraduate social work students (n=40) in their first semester of year one teaching participated in classroom based digital storytelling with the first author. Placement students created digital stories at two key points during their placements, at the beginning (first to third week of placement) and at the end (16th to 18th week of placement). Several themes emerged including; self-evaluation and reflection, producing and receiving feedback and team work. This collaborative article offers a basis for practice development and professional discussions across disciplines on the use of digital storytelling with students studying for a professional qualification.
Bring shadowing out of the shadows: an examination of shadowing as a learning activity in social work practice placements
Authors: Scourfield Peter
Published: January 2022

Social work students shadowing more experienced practitioners is usually regarded as self-evidently a positive learning experience by  practice educators, on-site supervisors; university tutors, and not least by the students themselves. Whilst it can form part of a formal practice learning agreement, much shadowing is also undertaken informally often on an ad hoc and impromptu basis. Given the extent to which shadowing takes place, it is a basic assumption of this paper that it must have a significant impact of what students learn about practice both in their specific placement but also more generally about social work. For this reason the primary aim of this paper is to bring more of a critical gaze onto shadowing as a learning activity in social work practice placements. The paper begins by examining the different purposes of shadowing and putting them into context. It explains how shadowing can be seen as both part of the process of socialisation into professional social work but also into a specific workplace culture. As such shadowing experiences need to be understood as part of the implicit (hidden) curriculum of social work. The second part of the paper considers some ways in which examining shadowing experiences more critically can improve certain aspects of practice. This includes understanding power relationships but also how shadowing can provide important opportunities for professional leadership. It is proposed that, often taken as a background or taken for granted activity, shadowing needs to be given a higher profile and therefore better preparation in social work practice placements.
Learning capacity- How professionals learn about mental capacity on post qualifying education programmes
Authors: Rogers Jim , Bright Lucy
Published: January 2022

The focus of this paper is the way in which learning on a post graduate professional academic training module is developed and articulated via processes of shadowing and the production of two assignments (a written case study and a reflective piece). The context is learning about key aspects of Mental Capacity legislation and the data for the study came from work submitted by fifty students on four successive iterations of  a 'best interests assessor' (BIA) training course in England. We sought evidence of the use of key elements including specific sections of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) as well as case law; professional values; practice guidance; and classroom education. Moreover we were interested in the ways in which a brief shadowing of a practicing BIA helped to make sense of these disparate elements in practice. Practice guidanc from expert bodies such as SCIE and NICE, the formal legal test of capacity, and certain relevant pieces of case law were not referred to as much as expected, but most candidates showed the ability to deftly navigate the tensions and challenges which arise when trying to meld case law, statute law, codes of practice, and classroom learning and ensure that this is used to safeguard the rights of vulnerable adults.
Utilising a Virtual Community to practice Community Work theory during COVID-19 lockdown in South Africa
Authors: Claassens Elmien
Published: January 2022

In this practice note, I highlight the challenges social work practice lecturers overcame during a national lockdown midst the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa whilst converting face to face teaching on community work to the online environment. I discuss how a fictitious virtual community was created, enabling students to apply the theoretical knowledge on community work from the practice module. I share the practical application on how students were able to ‘do’ community work in a virtual community and what we as a team of social work practice educators learned as a result.
