Published: June 2024

The Siberian moth, Dendrolimus sibiricus Tschetverikov, 1908 (Family Lasiocampidae), is recognized as the most destructive defoliator of Mongolia’s conifer forests. Our study was conducted at 14 locations within the Khentii mountain range, a known hotspot for moth outbreaks. Here, we measured various body sections of the caterpillars and calculated their population density. To model the habitat and potential outbreak tendency of this species, we utilized local weather data, global climate variables (Bio19), and other environmental layers. Our findings reveal a significant correlation between the distribution and outbreak of this species in Mongolia and several climatic factors: total precipitation, average temperature (p<0.001), winter precipitation (p<0.016), and spring precipitation (p<0.0002). Future projections suggest that outbreaks may occur biennially or triennially, with 7-8-year intervals, specifically in the periods 2024-2026 and 2032-2034. Additionally, we estimate the potential changes in the distribution range of the Siberian moth in under scenarios of temperature increases by 2.5°C and 4.50°C.

Published: June 2024

Presented article examines the post-Covid-19 global pandemic work situation, which has become a new opportunity for flexible and crisis-ready organizations and institutions after the challenges experienced during the pandemic. Based on the review of international literature, the features of the post-pandemic work situation were analyzed and new opportunities in the post-pandemic work era were identified. Based on the review of existing practice and international literature, as a result of the obtained data, modern and current methods of work forms were determined, such as the transition to a completely remote work format and only working away from the workplace and working hybridly, which implies a mixed form of work and can work both at the workplace and away from the workplace. As a result of the aforementioned forms of work, the creation of new jobs has become easier and employment in several places at the same time has become available. The created situation has improved the socio-economic condition of the citizen, and the state has increased the labor force resource. The article explains the advantages and disadvantages of modern methods of work forms and generalizes them in relation to the existing international practice. The results of the study will be of interest to employers facing the challenges created by the global pandemic, to industry specialists and individual experts, however, the attitudes and needs of employees towards modern work methods are a separate subject of research, since the part of the workforce of the labor market is not fully capable of actively using modern digital technologies. The article will be of interest to scientists, public and private organizations, employers, and experts working on labor market research and employment issues.

Published: June 2024

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the attitudes and knowledge of female healthcare professionals regarding the prevention of gynaecological diseases.Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional stratified study was conducted in August 2022, on the subject. A total of 208 female healthcare professionals in Greece participated. The "Knowledge and attitudes of women regarding Sexually Transmitted Diseases, sexual health and preventive controls" questionnaire validated for Greece was used, through Google forms. Statistical analysis was performed with the IBM SPSS Statistics Version 26, with the x2 test, Kruskal-Wallis test with Bonferroni correction and the Cramer's V test, Shapiro-Wilk normality test and linear regression analysis with clustered bootstrapping sampling.Results: Sample's mean age was 45.28 (10.65) years old. More than half of the sample (55.3%, n=115) had higher education degree. Seven out of ten participants stated that they have preventive check-ups every 2-3 years. Overall the participants had a satisfactory level of knowledge, scoring 0.82 in the questionnaire used. Age and level of education (R=0.282 and R2=0.079, respectively with p=0.033, DW=2.140) were the two statistically significant independent variables that affected the total score of the questionnaire. Older participants had better knowledge as well as those with higher educational level.Conclusions: Age and level of education were directly related to the formation of knowledge and attitudes of healthcare professionals regarding gynaecological diseases. So information and education on the issue should be included in the nursing schools curricula and in the early professional stages aiming at achieving higher level of knowledge later on.
Performative language in Bertolt Brecht’s Life of Galileo. Didactic reflections on dialogue and interpretation
Authors: Costa Béatrice
Published: June 2024

There are nowadays a whole series of publications on the staging or productive use of theatre, all of which show that the theatrical learning medium has long since been used not only in mother-tongue or foreign language teaching in schools, but also in the field of dialogue interpretation. What is striking, however, is that it is not the drama text but preferably theatrical techniques that are used to initiate a better way of dealing with complex language situations. Theatre has developed into a relational medium par excellence because of its play character and not because of its literary text substrate; in fact, the theatrical genus is form-giving and formable, sometimes so formable that one of its ostensible constituents, i.e. the text, is often perceived as a negligible one. The approach adopted here is different: With its dual focus – on a specific drama text and on the prosodic design –, it adopts a holistic perspective that considers both language and gestural awareness of dialogical interactions.

Authors: Andara Quero Inés Nohely
Published: June 2024

La enseñanza mediada por la tecnología, evoluciona continuamente transformando las estrategias pedagógicas tradicionales por herramientas tecnológicas que permiten la interacción entre docente-estudiante y con las diversas teorías del aprendizaje. En este sentido la enseñanza las ha adoptado como una actitud hacia el cambio no como un fin sino como un medio, considerando que su uso encierra aspectos positivos como la búsqueda de información y el aprendizaje colaborativo. Pero cabe resaltar los retos para los maestros como el rechazo al cambio, la tecnofobia, la falta de capacitación y actualización hacia el uso de estas herramientas. Este estudio, de carácter exploratorio-descriptivo y con un enfoque mixto, tiene como fin analizar el uso pedagógico de las redes sociales y de descubrir la importancia que los docentes dan a las redes sociales como apoyo al proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje; además, conocer para qué actividades académicas sugieren su uso. Los resultados de investigaciones consultadas demuestran que para los docentes, el uso de las redes sociales en las aulas favorece la atención y predisposición de los estudiantes en sus clases; no obstante, se precisa de un acompañamiento pedagógico permanentemente en donde se fomente su uso responsable en las actividades escolares.

Published: June 2024

Covid-19, which has pandemic status and has been ongoing in Indonesia since early 2020, has had a negative impact on the economy. The economic growth that had been attempted for years suddenly contracted and caused serious problems in the community whose growth had been attempted to increase for years. This research was conducted to determine the impact of Covid-19 on the economy of agricultural households in food and plantation areas, to obtain an overview of the efforts made by farmers to overcome it and to analyze the economic potential of the community, especially in the aspect of business investment originating from households. Descriptive analysis was carried out on 150 respondents consisting of rubber farmers, oil palm farmers and food crop farmers. The research results show that the households most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic are rubber and food farming households, while oil palm households are relatively less affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The investment tendencies that respondents have made while running their businesses can be seen from the activities of buying land or gardens, building new gardens, developing other businesses or a combination of agricultural and non-agricultural activities. Efforts to solve economic problems through willingness to help with capital based on kinship priorities can be ranked from closest nuclear family, close relatives, distant relatives to closest neighbors. Developing an investment culture for families or households can be used as an effort to accelerate economic recovery in both the short and long term.

Gig Economy and Remote Work Challenge Traditional Retirement Planning
Authors: Svoboda Dr. Andreas
Published: June 2024

This paper explores how the rise of the gig economy and remote work disrupts traditional retirement planning models. While these work arrangements offer flexibility, they lack employer-sponsored benefits and create inconsistent income streams, making saving for retirement difficult. The paper identifies challenges like inconsistent income, lack of employer contributions, and inadequate policy support for gig and remote workers. It proposes solutions including portable retirement accounts, policy reforms like tax incentives, and increased corporate responsibility towards worker retirement savings. Additionally, enhancing financial literacy is crucial for workers to navigate these new work models. By adapting retirement planning models and implementing these solutions, we can ensure a more inclusive and secure retirement planning landscape for the evolving workforce.
TEACHERS’ DIGITAL INNOVATIONS: AN EMPIRICAL JUSTIFICATION
Authors: De Guzman Drexel Jade G.
Published: June 2024

The goal of my research would be to describe the experiences of teachers on digital innovations. Experiential pieces of evidence revealed that educational leadership goes through a broad-spectrum a dearth of logical academic inquiry on matters on teachers’ cyber aptitude. Thus, my phenomenological study revealed the experiences of the 11 elementary school teachers in the Division of Davao Occidental using the purposive sampling technique. Teachers exposed that they were using the digital innovations they considered best to improve classroom instructions: instructional videos, localized instructional materials in PowerPoint presentation, and computerized worksheets and reading materials. These were inspired by the teachers’ educational technology pursuits and their ideal picture of an instructional leader as globally competitive with the 21st Century skills. To deal with the fast advancing technologies, teachers were with the school community managing resources and delivering instructions with the integration of technology resulting in productive and all-inclusive education; where learners endured learning. This development served as a paradigm shift in teaching as it demanded teachers to cope with the constantly changing world to attain job satisfaction. In the entirety, digital innovations through creating technology-based instruction and digital innovations implementation in the school, as well as, facilitating ICT integration in teaching and learning as part of the curriculum instruction unraveled the need of the 21st Century learners.

This research examines the effectiveness of Project-based Learning (PjBL) and problem-based learning (PBL) in improving the involvement and achievements of students from elementary to high school. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, we reviewed studies published from 2018 to 2023. The analysis results show that PjBL and PBL positively impacted students' cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects, facilitating active, collaborative, and independent learning. The use of interactive media in PjBl and PBL has been proven to increase student involvement in learning mathematics. This research contributed to developing effective mathematics teaching strategies at the elementary school level. It offered insights into using PjBL and PBL as alternative models that improve learning outcomes. Integrating interactive media in mathematics learning promises a deeper understanding of concepts, supporting educational practitioners and policymakers in designing innovative curricula and learning strategies for the future.

Large funds are used by organizations to invest in business applications to achieve the strategic and business operational goals of the organization. Running business operations using applications which are closely related to technology comes with the risk of bugs, errors, and similar issues. This risk will lead to a negative impact on the output of information that may cause errors and data loss. To prevent this from happening, the proper action that needs to be applied to overcome the risk is by conducting an information system audit on the application control that is implemented. An information system audit is an audit process carried out to determine whether the application or information system implements a sufficient control system. Application control testing is an important thing to do to overcome potential risks that could threaten the application. This research applied qualitative descriptive approach. This research aims to identify whether Accurate 5 and Zahir 6, the two accounting software applications, have been designed appropriately and could be operated effectively. The research findings indicate that the Accurate and Zahir applications implement controls, however, there are some weaknesses that should be fixed to improve internal control. In the Accurate application, there were differences in output results for reports, date entries that exceeded the limit, and sign checks on unit prices. Whereas in the Zahir application, it was identified that there were discounts entered that exceeded the range and sales reports that were not varied.
