The Effect of Phonological Knowledge-Based Writing Intervention on the Spelling Knowledge and Phonological Awareness of Children with Borderline Intelligence
Authors: Kim Boram , Lee Eun Kyoung
Published: January 2025

Purpose: Children with borderline intelligence have difficulty with phonological awareness and decoding. This study aims to examine the spelling abilities of borderline and typical children and determine their difference in spelling abilities after an intervention with a phonological knowledge-based spelling program.Methods: The study subjects were four borderline-intelligent children and four normal-intelligent children in the third and fourth grades of elementary school whose teachers or parents reported having no sensory impairment, had an error variance of -1 SD or less on a phonological knowledge-based listening and writing test, and had normal reading achievement and reading cognitive processing skills according to RA-RCP.Results: This study showed that improving spelling knowledge through phonological knowledge-based writing intervention is possible. In particular, the phonological fluctuation score and spelling error rate of borderline intellectual children decreased significantly after the intervention, proving the effectiveness of the intervention. The phonological knowledge-based writing intervention had a positive effect on both borderline and typical children, but the gap between borderline and typical children was not completely closed. Intelligence and vocabulary significantly impacted the development of phonological knowledge, while age had no significant correlation.Conclusions: In terms of phonological manipulation skills, typically developing children performed well on phonological manipulation tasks. With delayed responses, children with borderline intelligence showed limited performance on these tasks. When it came to understanding phonological rules, typically developing children consistently processed rule-based spelling and pronunciation, while borderline children were limited to simple rule application and had difficulty handling complex variation.

Main opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence in engineering education
Authors: Gómez Gómez Jorge Eliecer
Published: January 2025

Artificial intelligence is currently going through a disruptive moment in all spheres of society. Its application is widespread in all disciplines of knowledge. Engineering education is not alien to this phenomenon; we increasingly see students and teachers immersed in this world, facilitating thelearning process for students and teachers and offering them tools that help them improve their teaching processes. Within these opportunities offered by AI, we can find greater personalization of learning for students, which means that the content is adapted and adjusted to the profile of each individual because each person learns in a different way and at a different pace. This makes learning more enriching for the students. In the case of teachers, it allows them to automate repetitive tasks and frees them from workload.
Evaluation of the Transition-to-Practice Arrangements for Novice Perioperative Nurses: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Nijkamp Nick , Calleja Pauline , Sahay Ashlyn , Jack Leanne
Published: January 2025

Background

Transitioning into the first year of clinical practice as a nurse or changing specialties in the nursing career presents a critical phase for novice nurses characterized by excitement, apprehension, and the phenomenon of “transition shock.” Within perioperative nursing, this transition phase takes on distinctive challenges. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence on transition programs and arrangements.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the current transition-to-practice (TTP) arrangements available to new graduate and novice nurses within Australian perioperative nursing settings.

Methods

This study uses an exploratory mixed-method, multilevel triangulation with a sequential phase design to address 4 research questions. Phases 1 to 3 will use document analysis, surveys, and semistructured interviews to establish the findings of the research questions. Phase 4 will use meta-inference and triangulation to aggregate and analyze the data from all preceding phases. These findings will be the foundation for developing a framework to inform future TTP arrangements. This robust framework will embed empirical evidence, existing literature, and sound learning and teaching pedagogy. Results emerging from this study will be reported using the Good Reporting of Mixed Methods Study guidelines.

Results

This project received approval in June 2023. Following this, Human Research Ethics Committee approval was sought for phases 1 and 2, and recruitment began. As of August 2024, phase 1 has collected 50 responses and phase 2 has collected 69 responses. Data collection for phase 3 is projected to commence in May 2025 once data from phases 1 and 2 have been analyzed. Phase 4 is projected to occur in 2026. Each phase is anticipated to have a results manuscript submitted for publication once data are analyzed and written up.

Conclusions

The findings of this study will provide an in-depth exploration of TTP arrangements within perioperative nursing in Australia and provide a framework to guide the future development of TTP arrangements.

Role of Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin in the Management of Soft and Hard Tissue Periodontal Regeneration in Dentistry: Protocol for a Systematic Review
Authors: Shirbhate Unnati , Bajaj Pavan , Wanjari Mayur , Patil Manoj
Published: January 2025

Background

Injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) has the capacity to release great amounts of several growth factors, as well as to stimulate increased fibroblast migration and the expression of collagen, transforming growth factor β, and platelet-derived growth factor. Consequently, i-PRF can be used as a bioactive agent to promote periodontal tissue regeneration.

Objective

We aim to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of i-PRF in periodontal tissue regeneration.

Methods

We will conduct an electronic search in the following databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science. Papers will be restricted to those in English and to those that are randomized controlled trials comparing PRF or any other biomaterial with i-PRF for periodontal regeneration during dental treatment. The included papers in this review and the reference lists of pertinent reviews will be manually searched. The selection of studies, data extraction, and assessment will be carried out separately by 2 reviewers using the Risk of Bias 2 tool for the included research.

Results

The success of i-PRF will be evaluated by comparing the mean difference in periodontal regeneration of soft and hard tissues in terms of gingival recession, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, bone gain, and gingival width. The combined effect size measurements and the associated 95% CIs will be estimated using a random-effects model. The synthesis or work for this systematic review started in October 2023 and will last until December 2025.

Conclusions

i-PRF may play a role in dentistry and could enhance soft and hard tissue regeneration.

MOOT COURT AS A TEACHING METHOD: ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE FACULTY OF LAW, UNIVERSITY OF NIŠ IN 2023
Authors: Arsenijević Bojana
Published: January 2025

The author of this paper analyzes Moot Court as a teaching method in law school practice and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of this method. Although the moot court teaching method originated in the Anglo-Saxon legal education, over the past years it has been accepted by the universities of the European-continental legal tradition. By participating in moot court competition, students are provided with in-depth knowledge of different legal issues, related to different legal systems and sources of law. Moot court competitions also contribute to promoting inter-university collaboration of different regions. The Faculty of Law, University of Niš, takes pride in a long-standing history of participation in different moot court competitions. The year 2023 was another successful moot court year for the students of the Law Faculty in Niš. In this paper, the author presents the achievements of the LF Niš moot court students at two prestigious moot court competitions: Human Rights Moot Court Competition (the Regional and European rounds) and the National Moot Court Competition “Condemn Discrimination” (Serb. ”Osudi diskriminaciju“).
PROMINENT LAWYERS IN THE HIGH JUDICIAL COUNCIL OF REPUBLIC OF SERBIA: NEW RULES, NEW DOUBTS
Authors: Damnjanović Aleksa
Published: January 2025

In January 2022, Serbian Constitution was amended for first time after its adoption in 2006. The constitutional amendments were the basis for the new judicial reform. In 2023, a set of new laws on the judiciary was adopted, including the new Act on the High Judicial Council. This reform included changes in composition of the High Judicial Council of the Republic of Serbia. The subject matter of this paper is the new composition of the High Judicial Council. The author examines the new constitutional and legal norms on the composition of the High Judicial Council, particularly focusing on prominent lawyers as members of the High Judicial Council. The analysis of the constitutional amendments and relevant provisions of the new High Judicial Council Act focuses on the conditions that candidates for the High Judicial Council membership have to fulfill, as well as the election procedure. The author points to the dangerous impact that politics may exert through prominent lawyers on the work of the High Judicial Council. The purpose of this paper is to examine whether new legal framework may provide for a more independent High Judicial Council. The hypothesis is that new composition of the High Judicial Council will not make this body more independent.

Authors: Mitić Isidora
Published: January 2025

In this paper, the author presents the results of empirical research on the regulatory framework of alternative investment funds in the European Union (EU). The paper first provides a historical overview of their regulation and a detailed analysis of the EU's Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) and other similar legal sources which further regulate areas of alternative investment funds. In the second part, the paper elaborates on the overall life cycle of an alternative investment fund, starting from the incorporation stage until its dissolution or liquidation. In an attempt to comprehensively observe the subject matter and expose the changes already driven by the new AIFMD, the paper also examines the potential effects which may be generated by implementing the business model where unqualified retail investors are regarded as qualified investors.
LEGAL CHARACTERISTICS OF COOPERATIVES IN TURKISH LAW
Authors: Yasan Mustafa
Published: January 2025

In the realm of Turkish Law, the legislative framework governing cooperatives is bifurcated into two principal statutes: the Second Chapter (Book) of the Turkish Code of Commerce, which envisages general provisions pertaining to commercial companies, and the Cooperatives Code as a subject-specific legislative act. The incorporation of particular provisions concerning cooperatives within the Cooperatives Code has engendered a nuanced discourse regarding their legal persona. Central to this discourse is the determination of whether cooperatives are to be classified amongst commercial companies, thereby rendering them merchants, or whether they diverge from traditional commercial corporations due to their distinctive relationship with associations and foundations, thus generating debates and judicial deliberations on whether cooperatives ought to be categorized as a unique form of enterprise, divergent from conventional corporate structures. This academic interest and debate are not merely theoretical but have found expression in judicial pronouncements as well. A critical point of distinction for cooperatives, setting them apart from other commercial companies, is the foundational objective they profess. Unlike the quintessential commercial aim of profit maximization and distribution among constituents, cooperatives are predicated upon the attainment of legal benefits under more favourable conditions, facilitated through a framework of mutual aid and solidarity. This salient feature raises pertinent questions about the intrinsic nature of cooperatives and calls for a re-evaluation of their place within the matrix of commercial law.

AN EFFICIENT ALGORITHM FOR COUNTING CYCLES IN QC AND APM LDPC CODES
Authors: Gholami Mohammad , Gholami Zahra
Published: January 2025

In this paper, a new method is given for counting cycles in the Tanner graph of a (Type-I) quasi-cyclic (QC) low-density parity-check (LDPC) code which the complexity mainly is dependent on the base matrix, independent from the CPM-size of the constructed code. Interestingly, for large CPM-sizes, in comparison of the existing methods, this algorithm efficiently counts the cycles of any lengths in the Tanner graphs of QC-LDPC codes. In fact, the algorithm recursively counts the cycles in the paritycheck matrix column-by-column by finding all non-isomorph tailless backtrackless closed (TBC) walks in the base graph and enumerating theoretically their corresponding cycles in the same equivalent class. Moreover, this approach can be modified in few steps to find the cycle distributions of a class of LDPC codes based on Affine permutation matrices (APM-LDPC codes). Interestingly, unlike the existing methods which count the cycles up to 2g - 2, where g is the girth, the proposed algorithm can be used to enumerate the cycles of arbitrary length in the Tanner graph. Moreover, the proposed cycle searching algorithm improves upon various previously known methods, in terms of computational complexity and memory requirements.
APPLICATION OF INDICATORS IN NOISE CONTROL
Authors: Malenović-Nikolić Jelena , Zlatković Bojana , Jovanović Uglješa
Published: January 2025

Indicators provide a foundational basis for offering essential data and describing changes in the environment at national, regional, or local levels. An indicator created to highlight the cause of change, the consequences of changes, the state of the environment, or the significance of implementing protective measures may be considered relevant for research. An adopted indicator, as part of the National List of Indicators, forms the basis for developing strategies, creating national policies, and establishing legal norms. Serbia’s National List of Environmental Indicators includes two noise indicators, which belong to the sixth thematic section and are classified as indicators of state. The overall noise indicator, designated as 6.40 and part of the sixth thematic section entitled “State”, describes noise disturbance over a 24-hour period, including the day-evening-night segments. According to the regulation, the day period lasts from 6 AM to 6 PM, the evening period from 6 PM to 10 PM, and the night period from 10 PM to 6 AM. The night noise indicator, also under the “State” category, with the designation 6.41, specifically describes noise disturbance during the night period (10 PM to 6 AM). This paper analyzes the use of indicators in noise control at both local and national levels. The use of indicators in noise control is a significant prerequisite for systematically and internationally accepted determination of the state of the environment, and for creating conditions to compare noise level values on an international level. Indicators are based on highly reliable data, which must be monitored in accordance with statistical correctness and internationally recognized methodology. The value of these indicators, published in the Report on the State of the Environment, becomes publicly available and is subject to comparative analysis.
SOUND INSULATION PARADOX OF MASSIVE CAVITY WALLS IN BUILDINGS
Authors: Mijić Miomir , Šumarac Pavlović Dragana
Published: January 2025

In literature, the "box-in-box" system is described as a solution for achieving the highest possible sound insulation in a room. The system involves double walls separating a room from the surroundings in all directions, without any lateral pass for sound. This approach doubles the number of discontinuities in the material through which sound energy travels, thus providing higher sound insulation. Based on such an idea, some dwelling houses were designed with massive cavity walls between apartments with the expectation of better sound insulation. The concept was further motivated by the need to achieve adequate thermal insulation between apartments using insulation material in the cavity. However, in buildings where this was implemented, residents complained about inadequate sound insulation. Measurements showed that the sound reduction index of the double brick wall was lower than expected, even less than that of a wall where the two thinner layers were combined into a single thicker brick wall without an internal cavity. This was surprising, leading to research aimed at finding an explanation. It was concluded that in buildings there is the influence of sound paths through the wall’s lateral junctions, which is more pronounced with two thinner layers. With a cavity wall, the transmission of sound energy through lateral junctions and further by flanking transmission is more pronounced than with a single wall of the same surface mass. Additionally, the high seismic zone in Serbia requires certain adjustments in construction, invisible in architectural drawings, that further diminish the effect of the increased number of discontinuities in the wall. All of this makes the massive cavity wall in the building, contrary to expectations, less effective than a single wall made of the same quantity of material, making it acoustically and financially unreasonable. Research also revealed that material in the cavity has no influence on the sound reduction index value of the wall.

Authors: Ross-Sokolovsky Izabella , Munteanu Sonia Carmen , Hajdasz Ewa , Gupta Somali
Published: January 2025

Language instructors in higher education face the challenge of preparing students for the complex communication needs of the global job market. This article examines the impact of the Virtual Café, an online collaborative project, on students' confidence and willingness to communicate in L2 English in an international and multicultural setting. The participants were students from three higher education institutions in Israel, Poland, and India. All students were enrolled in the EFL course as part of their academic curriculum. The study used a pre-test and post-test research design to capture responses before and after participation in the virtual exchange project. The findings indicate that Virtual Café activities positively influence students' confidence in speaking English and increase their willingness to engage in L2 communication. The study emphasizes the importance of creating supportive environments for language practice and highlights the effectiveness of virtual exchanges in fostering language skills and intercultural communication. However, despite improvements in several areas, concerns about being understood and the need for more encounters that promote speaking emerge as areas for further exploration. The results underscore the potential of virtual interactive activities in enhancing language learning and intercultural communication.
INVESTIGATING ENGLISH MEDIUM INSTRUCTION PROVISION IN A KAZAKHSTANI UNIVERSITY: THE IDEALS AND REALITIES OF EMI LEARNING
Authors: Tulepova Saule , Bekturova Madina , Gaipov Davronzhon , Butt Sophia
Published: January 2025

As one of the many non-Anglophone countries where English is taught as a foreign language, Kazakhstan is actively involved in the processes aimed at internationalising higher education. One way to achieve this is by increasing the number of English-taught courses, i.e. introducing English Medium Instruction (EMI) for non-linguistic courses. However, there are concerns about how effectively this process is provided in practice and how students and teachers themselves perceive it.  This research paper explores some aspects of EMI provision in one private Kazakhstani university, examining the alignment and differences between  the theoretical ideals and practical realities of EMI.  Specifically, it aims to examine the students' and teachers’ perceptions of EMI provision in terms of reasons of EMI choice, English proficiency, translanguaging, and personal concerns. Through this investigation, the paper sheds light on the challenges and opportunities faced by both instructors and students in navigating EMI provision within the context of higher education in Kazakhstan. The online survey among 176 students and 31 teachers, analysed in a quantitative way, reveals some discrepancies between teachers’ and students’ perceptions regarding EMI reasons, language competence and translanguaging practices. This indicates the need for revising and clarifying existing institutional and national policies regarding EMI provision taking into consideration the voiced challenges on the part of the teachers and students.

Kampanye merupakan salah satu instrumen penting bagi negara yang menganut ajaran demokrasi. Kampanye adalah masa dimana peserta pemilu melakukan aktivitas berupa penyampaian ide dan gagasan yang disampaikan kepada pemilih. Lazimnya para peserta pemilu gencar berkampanye di berbagai tempat: fasilitas pemerintah, tempat ibadah, dan tempat pendidikan. Namun berdasarkan Putusan No. 65/PUU-XXI/2023 Mahkamah Konstitusi melarang penyelenggaraan kampanye di tempat ibadah. Penelitian ini berupaya menelaah putusan a quo mengenai pelarangan masjid sebagai tempat kampanye notabene menjadi bagian dari putusan a quo, lalu peneliti akan melakukan kajian apakah putusan a quo mengakomodasi al-mas}lah}ah al-mursalah. Penelitian ini berjenis kepustakaan (library research) dengan menggunakan metode konten analisis disertai dengan pendekatan yuridis-normatif. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa kampanye sebagai salah satu tahapan penting dalam Pemilu berpotensi menimbulkan kampanye hitam dan politik identitas yang dapat menimbulkan konflik serta polarisasi antar-sesama umat Islam, terlebih jika mengingat masa-masa kampanye yang bertempat di masjid pada pemilu terdahulu karena masjid dinilai sebagai tempat potensial untuk bisa meraih suara. Sehingga masjid yang semula berfungsi sebagai tempat ibadah dan kegiatan positif lainnya berubah menjadi tempat penyampaian sentimen belaka. Jika masjid dipergunakan kembali sebagai tempat kampanye maka akan semakin menjauhkan fungsi masjid seperti sebagaimana mestinya. Sehingga beralasan bahwa Mahkamah Konstitusi dalam Putusan a quo mengakomodasi al-mas}lah}ah al-mursalah, karena pertama, pada Putusan a quo Mahkamah Konstitusi berupaya untuk menjaga agama (hifz} ad}-di>n) agar tidak terjadi konflik dan polarisasi yang disebabkan karena perbedaan kepentingan politik. Kedua, tidak bersifat dugaan karena dengan dilarangnya pelaksanaan kampanye di masjid maka akan menghindari konflik seperti pada Pemilu terdahulu. Ketiga, bersifat umum karena putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi bersifat erga omnes. Keempat, tidak bertentangan dengan maksud dari disyariatkannya hukum Islam (kemaslahatan). Sehingga dengan adanya Putusan a quo masa kampanye pada penyelenggaraan pemilu mendatang tidak lagi menodai masjid dengan kepentingan-kepentingan politik praktis tertentu, sehingga umat Islam dapat melaksanakan ibadahnya dengan tenang dan menggunakan masjid dengan kegiatan-kegiatan yang positif sehingga mendapat ridho dari Allah Swt.
Diabetes Risk After Treatment for Childhood and Young Adult Cancer
Authors: Cromie Kirsten J. , Murray Robert D. , Ajjan Ramzi A. , Hughes Nicola F. , Feltbower Richard G. , Glaser Adam W.
Published: January 2025

OBJECTIVE

Diabetes is a potential late consequence of childhood and young adult cancer (CYAC) treatment. Causative treatments associated with diabetes have been identified in retrospective cohort studies but have not been validated in population-based cohorts. Our aim was to define the extent of diabetes risk and explore contributory factors for its development in survivors of CYAC in the United Kingdom.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Cancer registration data (n = 4,238) were linked to electronic health care databases to identify cases of diabetes through clinical coding or HbA1c values. Total effect of prespecified treatment exposures on diabetes risk was estimated using flexible parametric modeling and standardized cause-specific cumulative incidence functions (CIFs).

RESULTS

After median follow-up of 14.4 years, 163 individuals (3.8%) were identified with diabetes. Total body irradiation (TBI) increases diabetes risk over time, with a 40-year CIF reaching 21.0% (95% CI 13.8–31.9) compared with 8.4% (95% CI 6.1–11.5) without TBI. Survivors treated with corticosteroids had a 7.7% increased risk at 40 years after cancer diagnosis. Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) survivors had markedly higher risk, with a 40-year CIF of 19.6% (95% CI 13.4–28.6) versus 8.2% (95% CI 6.0–11.3) for patients who had not undergone HSCT. Among patients who received allogeneic HSCT, the 40-year CIF of diabetes was 25.7% (95% CI 17.4–38.0), compared with 7.9% (95% CI 3.3–19.1) in patients who received autologous transplants.

CONCLUSIONS

This evaluation of a hospital-based cohort of patients with CYAC identifies these patients’ increased long-term risk of developing diabetes and how this varies temporally according to treatment modalities. Notable contrasts in risk by treatment were detected as early as 10 years after cancer diagnosis. Findings should inform the development of risk-stratified evidence-based screening.

Authors: Ertürk Aybüke , Akkaya Ramazan
Published: January 2025

The increase in electricity consumption makes the electrical efficiency of the systems more important day by day. This situation necessitated the search for high efficiency in Power Factor Correction (PFC) converters, which offer solutions to power quality problems caused by rectifiers. In this study, Bridgeless Boost PFC Converters with high efficiency advantage are examined. The advantages and disadvantages of these converters are presented. Dual-Boost Bridgeless PFC Converter (D-BBPFC), which is a type of bridgeless converters, is introduce and converter is simulated in the PSIM environment. The obtained total harmonic distortion of input current (Iin(THD)), power factor and efficiency values are compared with the Conventional Boost PFC Converter (CBPFC), which is designed in our previous studies with the same parameters. By operating the Dual-Boost Bridgeless PFC Converter at different power levels, the change of power factor and total harmonic distortion is presented in graphic form. For a more detailed efficiency analysis, the converters are rerun by using MOSFETs which have different ON-resistances. As a result, the efficiency advantage of Bridgeless Boost PFC Converters is proven. In addition, the importance of MOSFETs with low ON-resistance such as SiC has been understood for these converters.

Objective: To evaluate existing evidence from published systematic reviews for the effectiveness and safety of rehabilitation interventions in adult patients with colorectal cancer.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using medical/health science databases up to October 2024. Bibliographies of pertinent articles, journals, and grey literature were searched. Three reviewers independently selected potential reviews, assessed methodological quality, and graded the quality of evidence for outcomes using validated tools.
Results: Sixty systematic reviews (761 randomized controlled trials) evaluated 5 categories of rehabilitation interventions. Over half of the included reviews (n = 31) were of moderate–high quality. The findings suggest: moderate-quality evidence for exercise interventions for improving physical fitness and quality of life; high-quality evidence for nutritional interventions in reducing postoperative infections; high-quality evidence for multimodal prehabilitation for improved preoperative functional capacity; moderate-quality evidence for nutritional interventions for improving humoral immunity, reducing inflammation, and length of stay; moderate-quality evidence for acupuncture in improving gastrointestinal functional recovery; psychosocial interventions in improving short-term quality of life and mental health, and lifestyle interventions for improved quality of life.
Conclusion: Rehabilitation interventions yielded positive effects across multiple outcomes. However, high-quality evidence is still needed to determine the most effective rehabilitation approaches for patients with colorectal cancer.

The experiment was conducted during kharif (May–November, 2022) season at the field experimental area of the Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana and at Regional Research Station, Faridkot, Punjab, India to assess the genetic diversity of 40 advanced BC1F8/F9 pigeonpea interspecific derivatives derived from a cross between Cajanus scarabaeoides (L.) Thouars (ICP 15683) and C. cajan (L.) Millspaugh (ICPL 20329) using Mahalanobis D2. The data for 11 key productivity traits was statistically analysed using R software. The derivatives were grouped into five clusters. Intra-cluster distances varied from 0.00 (Cluster V) to 107.40 (Cluster IV), while inter-cluster distances ranged from 123.49 (Cluster II and V) to 511.00 (Cluster IV and V). The derivatives in the present study were mostly divergent for harvest index, pods plant-1, primary branches and seed yield plant-1. The MGIDI index was remarkably efficient in selecting superior derivatives, resulting in desired gains across numerous traits. The MGIDI index highlighted six high-performing genotypes—AL 2581, AL 2611, AL 2577, AL 2613, AL 2606 and AL 2597. This research laid the groundwork for forthcoming pigeonpea hybridization initiatives, enabling the selection of parents based on both diverse genetic backgrounds and specific traits. The study suggested a targeted screening of lines within promising clusters for utilization in ongoing breeding programs, facilitating the development of valuable populations and hybrids.

This study examines the determinants of education-job mismatch among educated workers in Indonesia, focusing on factors influencing job matching, over-education, and undereducation. Using data from the 2022 National Labor Force Survey (Sakernas), a multilevel multinomial logit regression analysis reveals that age, gender, education level, and regional characteristics significantly affect mismatch outcomes. Older workers are more likely to experience over-education but less likely to face under-education, while women are disproportionately over-educated. Higher education levels increase the likelihood of overeducation, reflecting inefficiencies in translating qualifications into appropriate jobs. Regional disparities, such as higher minimum wages and economic concentration in JavaBali, exacerbate over-education. Sectoral GDP in services and industry is positively associated with over-education, while employment in agriculture reduces mismatch risks. Urban residence improves job matching, but rural areas face higher under-education rates. To address these challenges, targeted policies are needed including enhanced career counseling, vocational training, and stronger collaboration between education providers and industry. Regional development initiatives and gender-equity programs are vital to reducing disparities. Strengthening labor market information systems and digital job-matching platforms can mitigate informational asymmetries, optimize workforce productivity, and foster sustainable economic growth.

Arabic is an essential international language, particularly in the context of Islam and global communication. This study explores the implementation of the Structural Analytic Synthetic (SAS) method in teaching Arabic reading and writing skills at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that the SAS method effectively enhances the reading and writing skills of grade II students at MI NWDI 2 Pancor. Teachers, acting as facilitators, creatively integrate the SAS method with other media, such as pictures and word cards. Despite challenges, particularly in maintaining young students' focus, the gradual application of the SAS method demonstrated positive outcomes. This study contributes significantly to the advancement of Arabic teaching methodologies in Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia.
