Socio-Economic Study of the Productive Role of Married Women in West Nusa Tenggara
Authors:   University Of Mataram, Indonesia, Maryam St.
Published: June 2024

This paper aims to analyze socio-economic factors (women's education, husband's education, wages, family income, non-labor income, household expenditure) that encourage the productive role (work participation) of married women in West Nusa Tenggara. The research was conducted using qualitative ethnomethodological methods by trying to explain the reality of the socio-economic dimension of the productive role of married women in West Nusa Tenggara. Data was obtained from married female informants who worked as key informants, while family members, and other related informants, as accompanying informants (as well as for validation tests). The results of the study show a social (non-economic) aspect, for those who are highly educated, they want to devote the knowledge they have obtained. However, in addition to these reasons, there are also women who choose to work because they feel subjective, such as bored with the routine of taking care of the house, or because of the assumption that by working, their association and status are better than just being housewives. The basic assumption of all married women who perform productive roles is as a source of additional income. From the economic aspect, the condition of low-income households (poor families) has a target level of income in line with the level of subsistence. That the productive role of married women will depend on the husband's ability to generate income compared to the income target. If the husband's income is below the income target, the wife will work more to achieve the subsistence needs. The findings of this study can be concluded that there are two major reasons why married women in West Nusa Tenggara to perform dual roles, namely because it is a "must" and because of a "desire".

This research explores the role of live streaming features in marketing strategy in the context of Marketing Strategy 5.0 and e-commerce live streaming. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach involving direct observation and secondary data analysis, this research identifies how live streaming not only functions as a tool to facilitate real-time product reflection, but also as a platform to build in-depth interactions with customers. Through the Marketing Strategy 5.0 approach, which emphasizes the use of technology to improve customer experience and personalization, the research focus is the TikTok account @serbagroosir with the consideration: this company has survived for more than 5 years with sales always increasing. Through the data analysis technique used, Manual Data Analysis Procedure (MDAP), from the results of interviews accompanied by triangulation of sources and theory, this research found that TikTok's live streaming feature allows companies to answer consumer questions directly, provide exclusive promotions, and encourage impulse purchases. Additionally, live streaming helps in forming a loyal customer community and expands market reach thanks to TikTok's algorithm that supports the discovery of new content. This research suggests that companies should increase the frequency of live streaming sessions and leverage data analytics to optimize streaming timing and content. For future researchers, it is recommended to expand the scope of the study by involving multiple accounts and platforms as well as conducting in-depth analysis of consumer behavior during live streaming sessions to provide more comprehensive insight into the effectiveness of this strategy in e-commerce.

Unemployment Hysteresis in African Oil Exporting Countries: Evidence from Fourier Unit Root Test
Authors:   Department of Economics, Ekiti State University, Ekiti State, Nigeria, Olanrewaju Saliu Mojeed
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the stochastic properties of unemployment rate in top ten African oil exporting countries, by examining whether the high unemployment rate in these countries are mean reverting or non-stationary. Using annual data spanning between 1991 and 2023, the study employs a battery of unit root tests, namely, Classical ADF, Fourier ADF (FADF), ADF with Structural Break (ADF-SB) and Fourier ADF with Structural Break (FADF-SB) to test which of the hypothesis of unemployment (natural rate hypothesis, hysteresis hypothesis and structural slump hypothesis) do the unemployment behaviours in African oil exporting countries actually belong to. Findings from the study reveal the superior functionality of FADF-SB over the other unit root tests, stemming from the ability of the ADF model laced with both Fourier and Structural Break to revert the high unemployment rates of all the reviewed countries to equilibrium. Based on the findings in this study, it is therefore concluded that the characteristics of unemployment rate in African oil exporting countries align with and support the structural slump hypothesis of unemployment and thereby recommended that the structural factors should be modelled in the unemployment trend of their economies.

Published: June 2024

The right to inclusive education is one that has drawn the attention of public organizations, scholars, and academics worldwide. Students' beliefs and perceptions are a fundamental axis to know the state of the classrooms based on this ethical principle, allowing teaching professionals to promote improvement strategies and programs. This study aims to explore the reliability and factorial structure of the questionnaire "The Attitudes towards Inclusion of Students with Disabilities in Physical Education" (AISDPE) in students belonging to the secondary and baccalaureate educational stages. The sample consisted in 889 students who participated 2 times a week in physical education classes. Reliability tests, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were done. Then, a factor structure with two dimension (cognitive perception and predisposition to action) and 15 items was extracted, showing excellent values for the various selected goodness-of-fit indices. Additionally, a good reliability (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.77–0.79) was attained. The AISDPE might therefore be regarded as a credible and trustworthy measure to examine physical education pupils’ assessments of their attitudes towards inclusive instruction in order to improve social well-being and school health in the classroom.

Published: June 2024

The purpose of this work is to study the impact of using mobile training plans and measuring the physical abilities of athletes on their communicative competence and group interaction during mixed training. The biopsychosocial concept of a person, the unity of the physical and mental components of its personality formed the basis for the research methodology. The researchers divided a sample of respondents into two groups: an experimental and a control one of the non-team sports. The experimental group used training plans shared by the members using mobile devices and providing their teachers with access. The control group followed the traditional curriculum without the use of mobile technologies. They also assessed the level of interaction twice using valid psychodiagnostic techniques. They also rate the interaction level twice using the valid psychodiagnostic techniques. The results of our research prove the greater effectiveness of mobile joint training plans compared to traditional ones. The importance of developing the psychological qualities of athleticism in athletes, improving communicative competence and group interaction to increase the effectiveness of sports training and the possibility of using artificial intelligence technology for this are shown, which can be considered as a promising direction for our further research.

É superficial dizer que a prática de esportes é uma questão física, uma vez que após inúmeros estudos começamos a ter um entendimento mais amplo sobre a importância da mente sobre os aspectos da mente quanto ao desenvolvimento satisfatório nas competições. O aprendizado de habilidades psicológicas, tal como o aprendizado das habilidades técnicas e táticas, deve ser praticado regularmente e refinado a partir de seu emprego sistemático. O objetivo do presente estudo foi realizar uma revisão de escopo na literatura existente sobre os efeitos da meditação mindfulness nas respostas psicológicas e fisiológicas em atletas de alto rendimento e de ambos os sexos. A busca foi realizada em maio de 2024 nas bases de dados da Nursing and Allied Health (CINAHL), Cochrane Library, PubMed® e Scielo, retornando com 32 artigos, aceitos pelos critérios de inclusão, sendo analisados. Foram incluídos no estudo atletas de ambos os sexos que utilizavam como abordagem principal o mindfulness. Neste contexto foi avaliado, como desfechos, o desempenho fisiológico (concentração de cortisol, creatina quinase, lactato desidrogenase, testosterona, resposta imunológica, variabilidade da frequência cardíaca, frequência cardíaca de repouso e volume máximo de oxigênio), respostas psicológicas (níveis de ansiedade e depressão) e índices de desempenho muscular (número de repetições máximas, volume total de treino e carga mobilidade ao longo de testes de repetições máximas). Observou-se que a meditação mindfulness apresentou melhora na qualidade do sono, aumento na tolerância a dor, redução nos níveis séricos de cortisol sanguíneo, aumento da confiança, redução do estresse e ansiedade. A literatura de fato começa a se aprofundar sobre a meditação relacionada ao desempenho físico-esportivo, mas ainda assim novas pesquisas precisam ser aplicadas para que traga mais embasamento científico afim de favorecer esporte de alto rendimento de forma eficiente e segura. Baseado nas respostas encontradas nesta revisão sistemática, a meditação mindfulness parece ser uma interessante estratégia a ser incorporada no âmbito esportivo, principalmente por observar respostas positivas na capacidade psicológica dos atletas.

Authors: Karaca M. Abdulbaki , Toprak Hasan Hüseyin , Yilmaz Ercan
Published: June 2024

The present study aims to examine the activity preferences of typically developing students for their peers with special needs in terms of social acceptance levels and various variables. In total, 1098 typically developing students attending public secondary schools, where there are students who continue their education through inclusion, participated in this study. The causal and comparative model was used in this research. The activity preference form developed by Siperstein (1980) and adapted to Turkish by Çiftçi (1997) and the social acceptance scale developed by Arslan (2010) were used as data collection tools. Given the results, it was observed that there is a relationship between the social skill levels, student behaviors, and peer attitudes of the students with typically developing students toward individuals with special needs, and their activity preferences towards students with special needs. Social skills and peer attitudes, which are sub-dimensions of the social acceptance scale, were found to predict activity preferences. Moreover, it was revealed that there was a differentiation between the activity preferences of students with typical development for their peers with special needs and their gender, mother’s education level, father’s education level, class level, and disability status among their relatives (p˂0,05). In schools where inclusive practices are carried out, various activities should be organized for the characteristics of individuals with special needs, so that typically developing students develop positive attitudes towards their peers with special needs and their social acceptance levels should be increased.
Theorising Scenarios for Resumption of Indo-China Border Talks
Authors: Singh Ranjit , Aggarwal Prashant
Published: June 2024

Border issues between India and China are complex and fundamental in nature. There were negotiations immediately after independence, but, still led to 1962 War between the two countries. Historically efforts to negotiate Borders were held 45 times from 1981 to 219 in various formats as JWG and SR talks. Further WMCC at Jt Secy level est in 2012 and met 26 times and Corps Commander level talks post Galwan met 21 times till Feb 2024. Clearly China does not wish to negotiate borders and plans to use it as a leverage at opportune moments. There is a typical stalemate since China feels that borders is a settled issue, while India’s stand is to resolve border issues before normalisation of relations. The idea of this article is to theorise scenarios is original, based on open source material and attempt to visualise contingencies that could lead towards breaking this stalemate in border talks. Currently there are no journals or books written on this subject by scholars, though, some of them are writing open source articles and discussing on these lines in some seminars. The endeavour is to connect the dots and link them to resumption of talks forstabilisation of borders between India and China.
PROBLEMS OF TERMINOLOGY AND PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION IN THE POST-SOVIET SPACE (CASE STUDY OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN)
Authors: Shelestyuk Elena V. , Suyunbayeva Altyngul Zh.
Published: June 2024

Terminology and professional communication in post-Soviet states are analyzed, as exemplified by the Republic of Kazakhstan. An excursus into the history of linguistic development of Eurasia and Central Asia, achievements of Turkic and Iranian countries in compiling dictionaries, imperial and Soviet periods. The groundbreaking terminological works and dictionaries in the Kazakh SSR are presented. The founders of Kazakh linguistics considered the term as a means of scientific communication, transfer of complex thought, new information, elevation of human reason; the term should be created not from artificial symbols and obscured foreign language morphemes, but from the morphological material of national languages, taking into account the factors of the cultural code and continuity of the memory of the people. The principle of localization of terminology in the Soviet and post-Soviet periods of the Kazakh language was nearly inviolately observed. The methods of borrowing terminology in Kazakh rank as follows: calque (including explication and equivalent); internationalism-semicalque; hybridization of internationalisms with genuine native or deeply assimilated affixes; calque translation of abbreviations and acronyms; full transliteration/transcription. The lexicon of the Kazakh and Russian segments of the bilingual dictionary of military-aviation terminology was analyzed on the subject of original words and borrowings. 3223 (65 %) Russian words and 1751 (35 %) phonographic internationalisms were identified in the Russian segment of the dictionary against 4920 (82 %) Kazakh words and 1032 (17 %) internationalisms in Kazakh. The example comes to prove that the degree of forenization of the Russian terminology is significantly higher than that of the Kazakh one. Problems of the development of Kazakh science and professional communication sub-languages in high-tech areas (aviation) are constated. The main obstacle that calls into question the expediency of the korenization of professional communication is the limitation of the functioning of sub-languages by the borders of the Republic of Kazakhstan. There is also a problem with the selection of national equivalent words denoting new technologies or concepts; code switching in the communication of multilingual specialists; duration of standards development for terminology use and translation, their coordination with practice; high costs when introducing new terms and professional cliches, retraining personnel, changing documentation and information systems, etc.
PRINCIPLES OF INTERPRETATION OF BIBLICAL PROPHETIC TEXTS
Authors: Andrey G. Fomin , Karacheva Nadezhda S.
Published: June 2024

Prophetic texts form a special category of written texts with a complex symbol system that makes them difficult to interpret. While it may be true that the supernatural elements of prophecy lie beyond the scope of scientific understanding, even after a rigorous scientific analysis of a prophetic text, it retains its status as a complex semiotics sign. To understand its meaning, an interdisciplinary and integrative approach is necessary. This article aims to propose a general strategy for the interpretation of prophetic texts that takes into account both linguistic and extralinguistic factors. It can more accurately extract the meaning embedded in the symbols utilized in prophecies.

Published: June 2024

Despite the evidence of the relationship between types of the economic behaviors and certain components of psychological time, there is no holistic model, explaining the relationship between them. The purpose of this study is to develop and verify such a model. According to the theoretical model, psychological time can act as an internal factor, which, when interacting with other internal and external variables, serves as a predictor of changes in economic attitudes. Model verifi cation was carried out on the sample of the residents of the south-western part of the Russian Federation (N = 1 356, MAge 25.27, 41% of male). We use the following methods: Life Satisfaction Scale, PVQ-RR, Subjective Income Level Scale, Economic Attitudes Questionnaire, Inventory of Polychronic Values, Attitudes towards Time, Zimbardo’s Time Perspective Inventory, Inventory of Time Value as an Economic Resource by Usunier. The empirical model confi rms the theoretical one. The escapist orientation (the combination of orientation to the past negative, present fatalistic and present hedonistic) contributes to the reduction of the level of subjective economic well-being. On the contrary, the harmonious orientation (the combination of the future orientation, past positive and present hedonistic) increases the level of subjective economic well-being indirectly — through the shaping of the future confi dence based on fi nancial literacy. The signifi cant contribution of life values and the less signifi cant contribution of gender and age in shaping the time orientations were found. The study contributes to the understanding of the signifi cance of the perception and experience of time in the economic life for the formation of one’s well-being.

Authors: Kazanin I.V. , Zinov’ev V.N. , Vereshchagin A.S. , Fomin V.M.
Published: June 2024

The work is devoted to research on the applicability of the membrane-sorption method for the separation of hydrogen-helium mixtures. The sorption dependences of hydrogen and helium absorption were experimentally obtained for synthetic hollow microspheres made of sodium borosilicate glass of the MS-V-1L type, silica microspheres and granular sorbent based on MS-V-1L microspheres. A significant difference in the rates of sorption processes of hydrogen and helium for the sorbents under study was shown. Based on the gas diffusion model, the kinetic characteristics of absorption, permeability and selectivity coefficients, and dynamic characteristics of the processes of sorption of hydrogen and helium of heliumhydrogen mixtures of various compositions by these sorbents were determined. For silica microspheres, the selectivity coefficient with respect to hydrogen and helium at T = 24 C exceeds 130, and for a granular sorbent based on MS-V-1L microspheres it is about 1000 at T =110 C. The high selectivity values of the studied sorbents confirm the possibility and efficiency of using the membrane-sorption method for the separation of hydrogen-helium mixtures.

Getting The Focus Right: Achieving the Targeted Compensation of
Employees' Composition in Post-Mid-Term Review of the Twelfth
Malaysia Plan
Authors: UTIT CHAKRIN , ISMAIL NORMAZ WANA , IDRIS ZERA ZURYANA
Published: June 2024

The successful implementation of eleven Malaysia Plans in charting and navigating
economic growth has seen the transformation of Malaysia from an agricultural economy to
an industrialised one and subsequently into a services-based economy. However, despite
the developmental progress, Malaysia's growth quality was highly debatable due to the
lower implications of growth on the compensation of employees (COE) generation. In line
with the mid-term review of the Twelfth Malaysia Plan (12MP), this study was structured
to reassess the sectoral capacity towards supporting the achievement of 40% targeted COE
composition. Applying the reassessment models developed based on the input-output
modelling technique yields positive outcomes, with 19 sectors central to COE target
achievement identified. The sectors were grounded based on three areas of potential that
are capable of guiding policy decisions to improve the COE composition: (i) sectors that
have achieved the 40% targeted COE composition with strong backward (BW) and
forward (FW) linkages; (ii) sectors that have achieved the 40% targeted COE composition
with strong BW or FW linkage; and (iii) sectors over 30% achieved COE composition
with strong BW or FW linkage, or both.
Investigating CSR Disclosures and Aggressive Financial Reporting in Relation to Tax Aggressiveness: Can Board Structure Change The Status Quo?
Authors: KESUMANINGRUM NINUK DEWI , BUJANG IMBARINE , MUDA RUHAINI
Published: June 2024

In recent years, academic researchers and policymakers have increasingly discussed the role of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) disclosures and aggressive financial reporting in tax aggressiveness. Tax aggressiveness can be defined as a company's eagerness in using legal loopholes and other methods of tax reduction. Companies must evaluate how their tax practices affect their reputation and adhere to tax reporting and CSR standards. The objective of this research is to investigate in the relationship between CSR disclosures and aggressive financial reporting on tax aggressiveness moderated by board structures. The board's internal control function is expected to reduce tax aggressiveness-related risks. The study employed static panel data regression analyses on 665 firm-year data from the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2016 to 2020. This study discovered that a larger board size could diminish the negative relationship between CSR disclosure and tax aggressiveness in particular industries while strengthening the positive relationship between aggressive financial reporting and tax aggressiveness. The current work suggests that companies with more independent boards of directors could increase the negative association between CSR disclosure and tax aggressiveness while reducing the positive association between aggressive financial reporting and tax aggressiveness. This study could reference future corporate policy regarding the most effective board structures to minimise tax aggressiveness.

Published: June 2024

This study examines the interplay among institutional quality, efficiency, and financial stability in the Malaysian Islamic banking sector with a special emphasis on the interaction between efficiency and institutional quality. The sample comprises 16 Islamic banks from 2012 to 2020. The indicators for financial stability are Z-score based on return on assets (ZROA) and non-performing loans (NPLs). The system generalized method of moments (GMM) is employed to overcome the potential endogeneity issue in our regression. The findings show that institutional quality (i.e. government effectiveness, regulatory quality, and rule of law) influences Islamic banking performance. Based on the interaction model, government effectiveness and regulatory quality have a negative and statistically significant impact on ZROA. Conversely, government effectiveness and regulatory quality positively and statistically influence financial stability, as measured by NPLs. As for the rule of law, financial stability (i.e., ZROA) can be achieved in a strict environment when Islamic banks are inefficient.

A Study of Floral Images in Chinese-Western Feminist Art Creation
Authors: Yexin Guo , Pintong Sarawuth
Published: June 2024

Both in the West and the East, for a long time, the plant “flower” has always been favored by various artists and poets as a metaphor for women, but mostly in a male-dominated society, the relationship between women and flowers was interpreted with a male vision, until the late 1960s, when the rise of feminist art and the awakening of feminist artists brought more attention to the fact that women's perceptions, emotions, and representations of the world were vastly different from those of men. Feminist artists have a strong sense of self, and their individuality often leaves a deep mark on their works. This mark is given a special conceptual language through the imitation of nature and is projected in the formal expression of their works, which becomes the unique style of each artist. Through these floral images, we can discover the artist's style and thus the personality, as well as certain social phenomena, psychological perceptions, and value orientations that characterize the times under the personality level. This article will compare and analyze the different artistic expressions of flowers by feminist artists in the two places, as well as the artworks of the author's perception of flowers.

Modelo Ambiental Integrador para la Docencia en Educación Ambiental con Enfoque Intercultural Énfasis Cambio Climático
Authors: Terrón Amigón Esperanza
Published: June 2024

Resumen: La emergência de la crisis ambiental que condujo a la educación ambiental, superó los modelos de conocimiento lineales y de compartimentos estancos, para favorecer procesos educativos críticos, holísticos, dialógicos, integrales y participativos con enfoque complejo, sistémico e intercultural. Esos procesos representan grandes retos, aunado a que no se há proporcionado una formación de docentes específica. Intentando responder a esa necesidad, surge la propuesta “Modelo ambiental integrador en la intervención educativa ambiental con enfoque intercultural desde la comunidad y el territorio énfasis cambio climático”, dirigida a profesores en servicio. El modelo tiene en su base una investigación sobre representaciones sociales de educación ambiental y cambio climático, realizada con profesores de educación primaria en servicio de una comunidad Urbana-Rural. Fue un estudio cualitativo, la información se obtuvo mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas y análisis de contenido. Los resultados arrojaron representaciones sociales que separan la naturaleza de la sociedad, otras identifican las interacciones sociedad naturaleza y reconocen al ser humano como parte de la problemática, sin diferenciar la diversidad de grados de responsabilidad en ello, otras expresan desinformación. En general se identifica que los profesores tienen ideas sobre el cambio climático, pero desconocen sus causas estructurales, expusieron que les falta información y aprender a construir proyectos. Ello nutrió la idea del Modelo, cuya configuración busca  favorecer procesos integrales de aprendizaje crítico y participativo vinculados con los contextos de vida de los participantes y sus saberes en diálogo con aportes de las ciencias del clima y contenidos curriculares.

Authors: Pereira Vilmar Alves
Published: June 2024

Este ensaio tem o propósito maior de apresentar uma reflexão sobre os tempos de emergência climática com seus atravessamentos em nossa dimensão existencial ontológica. A partir de um esforço hermenêutico propõe alguns rasgos conceituais no sentido de busca de compreensão do contexto atual. O estudo reconhece uma dificuldade que temos em revistar a pauta do tempo. Desse modo, partindo do tempo de emergência apresenta num primeiro momento, alguns dados que reforçam este estado e condição com muitas patologias socioambientais. Num segundo, recorre aos saberes ancestrais e busca, realizar alguns movimentos compreensivos a partir dos saberes ancestrais sobre a divindade Logunan e seus possíveis alertas e convites para processos de redefinição ontológica. Finalmente o ensaio reconhece a necessidade de perspectivas integradoras para pensarmos o enfrentamento da racionalidade antropocena e de possibilidades sistêmicas da Educação Ambiental Climática.

Running the Obstacle Course to Sexual and Reproductive Health
Authors: Shepard Bonnie
Published: June 2024

These four multi-disciplinary studies focus on sexual and reproductive health advocacy and programs in Latin America. Based on original research and the author's 25 years of experience working in the region, the text illuminates the political, cultural, and organizational dynamics that pose an obstacle course to sexual and reproductive health—dynamics that veterans of the culture wars in many other regions of the world will recognize. One groundbreaking study of advocacy in Colombia and Chile for the legalization of abortion and divorce discusses the double discourse system that keeps repressive laws in place and punishes public opposition to political norms that are based on religious doctrine. Another study of Latin American NGO regional and national advocacy networks examines the roots of difficulties they experience in unified decision making, often resulting in failure to take decisive political action. The book then offers two program case studies—one in Peru and one in Chile—focusing on issues of citizen participation and respect for rights in health systems and in schools. The Peruvian study brings to life a four-city experiment to foster community participation of women's organizations in health services. The Chilean study focuses on a highly participatory and successful sex education program in public schools and The ways in which political controversies affected the program, eventually contributing to its demise. The book's holistic approach, written from the point of view of an outsider/participant, makes a unique contribution to the study of social change in general, and to worldwide efforts to mainstream human rights, social justice, and gender equality in sexual and reproductive health programs and policies.
