The Implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 13 in “BRICS” Countries” a Scoping Review
Authors: Bangura Samuel
Published: July 2024

The essence of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, ratified by all member states of the United Nations in 2015, is encapsulated in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The present study examines the progress made in achieving UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 within the context of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS), employing a business and economic perspective. The research methodology employed encompassing a comprehensive review of pertinent literature as well as a meticulous analysis of relevant documentary content. Findings from the study revealed that though businesses in BRICS countries are trying to adopt the United Nations sustainable development goal 13, But there is limited effort in Brazil in the implementation of sustainable development goal 13. In Russia most companies are committed to the implementation of united nations sustainable development goal 13, but this has been constrained by sanction and the war in Ukraine. In addition, Indian companies are fulfilling their corporate social responsibilities viewed through the United Nations sustainable development goal 13. The effort on the part of Chinese companies and the government of China in implementing the United Nations sustainable development goal 13 is commendable as various corporate social responsibility programs and public education have been implemented. In the same vein South African companies have also been seen as very active in the implementation the United Nations sustainable development goal (SDG) 13 by having very important policies built around the goal. Recommendation state that it is imperative that climate change be duly addressed within the overarching vision and objectives of the BRICS businesses as well and there should be a multi-tiered collaboration among BRICS countries to expedite the realisation of the sustainable development goals 13. Equally important   harmonisation between governmental bodies, non-governmental organisations, and conscientious corporate entities can be instrumental in attaining superior outcomes regarding the sustainable development goal (SDG) 13. Future studies should include and examine more companies and additional countries in terms of overall plans for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 13.

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the most important zoonotic pathogens causing diseases for both humans and animals. Food, particularly meat, is considered the main vector for the transmission of this bacterium to humans. The findings of this study indicate that S. aureus contamination rates of pork and chicken meat samples were 24% and 16%, respectively. S. aureus isolates showed the highest resistance rates to penicillin (90%) and ampicillin (75%), and the lowest resistance to meropenem (5%) and linezolid (10%). Notably, 100% of the isolates were resistant to at least one antibiotic, and 65% were classified as multidrug-resistant strains. The results of molecular characterization revealed that all S. aureus isolates were positive for spa and 15% carried mecA. The detection rates of sea, seb, sed, and see genes were 20%, 5%, 15%, and 5%, respectively.

Authors: Limpiada Mary Charmaine , Ramos Rinette , Festijo Jessa Frida , Rojo Joanna Juvyjoy , Dela Cruz Bethzaida Mary Joy , Victorino Michelle Lei
Published: July 2024

This paper is about how E-Payment systems in online marketplaces such as Shopee and Lazada contribute into the transition towards cashless transactions. Through these technological advances, it is seen to give greater availability for people at all social classes to access financial services such as online payment or transactions without the traditional maintaining fees that are seen in institutional banks. As for methodologies, the data gathering was proceeded with one-on-one interviews for consumers and MSMEs, while Focus Group Discussion is done for government offices with the usage of thematic analysis to treat the coded themes from interviews. Results showed greater access to financial services rendered support for all social classes in the case of the usage in LazadaWallet and ShopeePay and its intermediary medium GCash. One of the major challenges is technicalities within the apps associated and internet connection. Digital literacy also stood as a threat for respondents to fully understand and utilize the benefits that e-payment systems offer. The following data implied that the growth of e- payments to support and uplift the lives of lower social classes heavily relies on the development of technological infrastructure of e-payments and internet system providers. Integrated curriculums, programs, and seminars for technological education are also recommended so that persons of all ages can utilize the services. Multilateral agreements or talks must also be held if Shopee and Lazada sellers must be entitled to taxes as most of the products are also diverse of its origins.

Published: July 2024

Individuals with disabilities are classified as vulnerable groups in our society due to the multitude of disadvantages they encounter in every domain. Furthermore, considering these unfavorable conditions As the pandemic causes significant changes in the education sector, it faces challenges in adapting to the new circumstances due to physical constraints and individual struggles. Their academic pursuit is additionally challenged by significant adaptations, particularly in their Physical Education course, which necessitates physical activity and motion that contribute to their difficulties. The main aim of this study is to investigate the lived experiences of students with disabilities during their physical education sessions in a flexible learning environment. The study employed a phenomenological approach and an inductive strategy to elicit themes through interviews and focus group discussions. The four highlighted themes include: physical and emotional hurdles, willpower and coping mechanisms, teachers' methodological approach, and social support system. These themes recapitulate the lived experiences of the PWD. Using the collected tales and narratives, the researchers formulated a Pillar of Support for individuals with disabilities (PWD) inspired by the pillars of education, which are the Moving to Know, Moving to Do, Moving to Live Together, and Moving to Be.

Los hilos de una narración histórica
Authors: Rosetti Mariana , Martínez Gramuglia Pablo
Published: July 2024

Analizamos la labor editorial de Juan Antonio Llorente, un afrancesado español que, en París, en 1822, edita una Colección de las obras del venerable obispo de Chiapa, don Bartolomé de las Casas. Contó con la ayuda del obispo francés Henri Grégoire, e incluyó textos de este y de los religiosos americanos Servando Teresa de Mier y Gregorio Funes. En el marco de la serie de reediciones de Las Casas que encaran letrados americanos a favor de la independencia, la de Llorente se diferencia por afirmar simultáneamente la ilegitimidad de la Conquista y el derecho de España al dominio de América. Además, avanza en un estudio más completo de la obra de Las Casas, universalizando su legado y ampliando el corpus de obras en circulación, e instala un ámbito atlántico de discusión entre los países de América y Europa.
Repensando el 17 de Octubre y la forja del lazo político peronista
Authors: Hora Roy
Published: July 2024

Este ensayo sostiene que la comprensión de la relevancia histórica del 17 de Octubre, mito de origen del peronismo, gana en profundidad cuando el análisis es colocado en un marco temporal más amplio que el que predomina en las reconstrucciones habituales de ese evento. En particular, discute la muy extendida idea de que esa jornada crucial en la historia política argentina supuso una novedad radical en las formas de expresión política popular. Sugiere que ese modo de aproximación ignora una larga historia previa de participación de las clases subalternas en la esfera pública y, además, no hace plena justicia a la complejidad del fenómeno de construcción del lazo político entre Perón y sus seguidores, que debe ser explorado con una perspectiva de más largo plazo.

Authors: Tan Ben Dan, Noraini Said & Nur Suhaidah Sukor
Published: July 2024

This study aims to investigate the difference in English-speaking anxiety levels with different personality types among middle school students, employing a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The participants comprised third-grade middle school students in Jinjiang District, Chengdu, China, with a sample size of 370 students. Two instrumental tests, namely the personality type test and the English-speaking anxiety level test, were conducted for data analysis. The E-scale of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) was used to determine students' personality types, while the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) questionnaire assessed their anxiety levels. The results revealed a significant difference in the level of English-speaking anxiety between introverted and extroverted students, F(4,365) = 5.363, p < .05. The English-speaking anxiety of introverted students is lower than that of extroverted students. Based on the characteristics of students' personalities, it is recommended that educators adopt instructional approaches such as promoting cooperative learning, providing moderate error correction, offering moderate attention to students, and enhancing guidance on learning strategies to mitigatespeaking anxiety in students. However, it is crucial to note that the study's scope is confined to middle schools in Jinjiang District, limiting its applicability to students in other regions of China.

Authors: Amelia Neelagandan & Mohd Dahlan A. Malek
Published: July 2024

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting communication, socialization, and behaviour. There are many interventions for children with autism, such as behaviour management, communication intervention, diet modification, and sensory integration. While some clinical interventions are empirically based, many are not evidence-based. It is difficult to compare and evaluate treatment efficacy as different treatments have varying outcome measures. The objective of this paper is to propose the use of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) as an outcome measure for autism intervention. The paper outlines the relationship between autism and HRQOL, autism intervention and outcome measures, and why they use of HRQOL is an ideal outcome measure for any autism intervention

Authors: Mazni Mustapha  , Michael E. Hyland
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this longitudinal study was to identify the predictors of the adaptation experiences of Malaysian students in home country and overseas, from two perspectives: missing and enjoyment experiences. At Time 1, 2090 responses were collected from a group of students who were enrolling at various overseas preparatory studying programmes (later termed as overseas students) and also first year students who were continuing their education at a public university in Malaysia (later termed as home country students). At Time 2, 628 of the participants were retained. The predictor variables were Time 1 well-being indicators (i.e. life satisfaction, positive and negative affect), importance and satisfaction of conservation and self-transcendence values, perceived success (measured by the Malaysian Certificate of Examination results and perceived English language fluency), personality, and parents’ level of education. The findings showed that overseas students who had a low level of English language fluency and a high level of importance of conservation and satisfaction of self-transcendence values tended to miss home. Similarly, overseas students who were less fluent in English were less likely to enjoy their life abroad. Whilst for the home country students, the high level of negative affect predicted their missing experience, and none of the predictor variables were found to be significant in contributing to enjoyment experience.
THE EFFECTS OF SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE ON ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING OF YOUTHS IN KANIBUNGAN VILLAGE, PITAS
Authors: Melley Magdalena Midi, Getrude Cosmas, & Stephencie Sinik
Published: July 2024

Youths today deal with many challenges, such as gaining better academic success and maintaining psychological well-being. In dealing with these challenges, one of the factors that might predict youths’ academic success and psychological well-being is spiritual intelligence. Therefore, a study was conducted to examine the effects of spiritual intelligence on youths’ academic achievements and psychological well-being. Two hundred fifty youths from the Emmanuel Christian Fellowship group of Kanibungan village, Pitas took part in this study. A set of questionnaires, which consisted of four sections, were used to measures the youths’ demographic profiles, academic achievements, spiritual intelligence, and psychological well-being. The research hypotheses were analysed using the simple regression test. Results showed that spiritual intelligence can stand as a predictor for both academic achievements and psychological well-being. Spiritual intelligence can be explained for 40% of the variance on academic achievement (β=.64, F(1, 248) = 169.677, p < .05). In addition, spiritual intelligence explained 25% of the psychological well-being (β=.50 F(1, 248) = 84.656, k < .05). The results revealed that the higher a youth’s spiritual intelligence, such as when applying spiritual values when dealing with problems and adapting to new environments, the higher a student’s academic achievements and psychological well-being. The findings allow us to reflect on how, aside from the intelligence quotient, spiritual intelligence is important for youths’ academic success and psychological well-being. Instilling spiritual intelligence in youths may give them strength and faith when meeting the challenges of today’s world.

La Ley Láinez en la provincia de Santa Fe durante la primera mitad del siglo XX: algunas notas sobre su implementación
Authors: Petitti Eva Mara , Giménez Juan Cruz
Published: July 2024

En 1905, el Congreso de la Nación sancionó la Ley 4874 llamada Láinez –en referencia a su impulsor– que permitía al Consejo Nacional de Educación crear escuelas en las provincias que las solicitaran, especialmente en las zonas rurales. A partir de entonces y hasta su transferencia que concluyó en 1978, convivieron en las provincias escuelas de diferente jurisdicción. Esta coexistencia fue parte de la construcción del sistema educativo y, a la vez, fue objeto de disputa vinculada al federalismo como principio de organización y distribución territorial. En este artículo, sin perder la mirada general del proceso, hacemos foco en la provincia de Santa Fe durante la primera mitad del siglo XX. Nos proponemos analizar cómo se fueron posicionando los actores locales y provinciales ante los funcionarios y las políticas nacionales. Partimos de la hipótesis de que las autoridades provinciales y la prensa local apoyaron proyectos diferentes que por momentos convivieron: la creación de escuelas nacionales, la nacionalización de escuelas provinciales, la provincialización de las nacionales y el cierre o traslado de establecimientos nacionales. Para realizar la investigación, analizamos normativas, publicaciones oficiales del Consejo Nacional de Educación y expedientes de la Secretaría Parlamentaria de la Cámara de Diputados de la Nación, en diálogo con prensa de la provincia de Santa Fe. Organizamos los contenidos del texto en tres apartados ordenados de manera cronológica que se corresponden con cada una de las etapas mencionadas.
Introducción de materiales educativos en el sistema escolar chileno (1885-1913)
Authors: Álvarez Seguel Analía , Pérez Navarro Camila
Published: July 2024

En Chile, a pesar de la creciente investigación en el campo de la historia de la educación, escasos estudios abordan la escuela desde la perspectiva de la cultura material. El objetivo del presente artículo es analizar el proceso de introducción de materiales educativos en el sistema escolar público en Chile, en el período comprendido entre las últimas décadas del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX. A partir del análisis de fuentes históricas de tipo documental, como informes ministeriales, catálogos de materiales escolares, inventarios de escuelas y liceos, analizamos dos factores que posibilitaron la llegada de los materiales educativos en las aulas chilenas: el primero de ellos se relaciona con la incorporación de la teoría intuitiva en los planes de estudio de las escuelas y liceos de finales del siglo XIX; y, en segundo término, el desarrollo tecnológico asociado a la fabricación y al empuje comercial que generó la demanda de material educativo. Con base en lo anterior, estructuramos el artículo en cinco apartados. En primer lugar, describiremos los fundamentos de la teoría intuitiva y el rol de los sentidos en la pedagogía del siglo XIX. Posteriormente, analizaremos su influencia en el sistema escolar chileno y su rol en la configuración de las políticas educativas decimonónicas. En un tercer apartado, profundizaremos en la producción y comercialización de material educativo. Luego, relataremos cómo estos procesos confluyen en la organización de la Exposición de Material Escolar realizada en 1885. Finalmente, ofreceremos conclusiones en torno a la incorporación de materiales educativos en escuelas y liceos públicos con posterioridad a la Exposición descrita.

El presente artículo procura reconstruir y analizar la articulación entre la inmigración de científicos alemanes en Buenos Aires con el Instituto Nacional del Profesorado Secundario (INPS). Específicamente se apunta a realizar una reconstrucción del pensamiento y estrategias de difusión del saber germano por parte del Dr. Wilhelm Keiper el cual se desempeña como intelectual y agente cultural representante del pensamiento prusiano. Lo mismo se aborda bajo la perspectiva de las circulaciones transnacionales y sus anclajes ideológicos locales, dentro de la metodología de la Historia Intelectual. De este modo, se ponen en relación las manifestaciones culturales propias de los alemanes étnicos asentados en la región junto a las estrategias de vehiculización de las mismas a través de espacios de construcción y difusión del saber social en instituciones científico-pedagógica estatales.

Manusia sebagai makhluk sosial dan beragama memiliki tujuan hidup penuh kebahagian tanpa sebaliknya. Pengaruh globalisasi, modernisasi, dan era suprainformasi menjadi tantangan bagi setiap warga dunia, termasuk bangsa Indonesia yang majemuk. Pada satu sisi, keberagaman tersebut merupakan anugerah tuhan yang patut disyukuri, namun di sisi lain membawa dampak disintegrasi, intoleransi, radikalisme, fundamentalisme, dan ekstrimisme di masyarakat, terkhusus pada generasi Z di sekolah. Oleh karena itu, perlu ada sebuah kajian mendalam tentang internalisasi nilai-nilai moderasi beragama sebagai solusi bagi generasi Z di sekolah. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif studi lapangan dan kepustakaan (library research) dengan teknik observasi, dokumentasi, dan wawancara yang kemudian dianalisis menggunakan analisis isi (content analysis) yakni berupa deskriptif-analitik dengan sumber literatur pustaka. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, dalam proses implementasi nilai-nilai moderasi beragama di SMAN 5 Bandung yang meliputi indikator nilai komitmen kebangsaan, toleransi, anti kekerasan dan radikalisme, dan akomodatif terhadap kebudayaan lokal serta nilai-nilai turunannya dilakukan melalui strategi Penguatan Pendidikan Karakter (PPK) yaitu berbasis pembelajaran di kelas, berbasis budaya sekolah, dan kerjasama dengan komunitas-masyarakat, termasuk melalui media sosial dan eksistensi ekstrakurikuler keagamaan-Irma. Model pilar pengembangan nilai karakter moderasi beragama dilakukan melalui pengajaran, pembiasaan, peneladanan, pemotivasian, dan penegakan aturan yang terintegrasi pada strategi program Penguatan Pendidikan Karakter sekolah.

Urban farming plays a crucial role in addressing food security challenges in both developed and developing regions. This comparative review explores the dynamics of urban farming and its impact on food supply in two diverse contexts: the United States (USA) and African cities. The study investigates the unique challenges and opportunities faced by urban farming initiatives in these regions, considering factors such as infrastructure, socio-economic conditions, and agricultural practices.  In the USA, urban farming has gained momentum as a sustainable solution to enhance local food production and reduce the carbon footprint associated with long-distance food transportation. The analysis delves into the policies, technological advancements, and community engagement strategies that have contributed to the success of urban farming in American cities. Additionally, the study examines the integration of rooftop gardens, vertical farming, and community-supported agriculture in the USA's urban landscape. Conversely, African cities grapple with distinct challenges in implementing and sustaining urban farming practices. The review explores the impact of rapid urbanization, limited resources, and diverse climatic conditions on the feasibility of urban agriculture in African contexts. Strategies such as community empowerment, micro-financing, and knowledge sharing are examined to understand their role in overcoming obstacles and fostering resilient urban farming systems.
