ABSTRACT Seed processing is a crucial stage in obtaining high-quality seed lots. The use of spiral separator is a common method for classification of soybean seeds by shape. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of processing soybean seeds in a static spiral separator on their physical and physiological quality, considering prior seed size classification. A randomized block experimental design was used, in a 2 × 4 factorial arrangement consisted of two soybean cultivars (60I62 IPRO and 62R63) and four seed size classifications (unclassified, and classified in 5-, 6-, and 7-mm mesh sieves), with three replicates. The samples were cleaned, separated, and individually processed in a static spiral separator with capacity of up to 1,200 kg h-¹. The results indicated that the 60I62 IPRO cultivar had higher percentage of discarded seeds, but better physiological potential than those of the 62R63 cultivar, denoting lower efficacy of the separator for this cultivar. Classified seeds, especially those in the 7-mm mesh sieve, had higher percentage and quality of qualified seeds. Discarded seeds from the 6- and 7-mm mesh sieves showed better physiological quality. The seed shapes of the evaluated soybean cultivars showed varied responses to processing in the static spiral separator.

Authors: Barreto Beatriz Carvalho , Bevilaqua Solon
Published: August 2024

Abstract In conjunction with emergency public health actions to control the new coronavirus pandemic, there are several efforts to reduce the negative impact on workers’ mental health. The objective of the research is to understand if there is an impact relationship between the Covid-19 pandemic and the mental health of the servers of the Federal University of Goiás. Through the case study, a descriptive analysis, frequency distribution and correspondence analysis were performed using the Sphinx® system, for variables with the same categories of secondary data responses, from an institutional survey carried out by UFG. The study shows that there is an impact relationship between the Covid-19 pandemic and the mental health of servers, in addition, the work regime, which placed most servers in remote work, was a catalyst for mental disorders such as anxiety, depression and others. Communication presents itself as a problem and some groups of servers felt the impact at a higher level such as the elderly, professionals who have children, especially female individuals, and outsourced workers. Finally, an internal communication program for the health care of the UFG server is presented.

Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate inequalities related to race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status in self-reported positive diagnosis for COVID-19 in Brazilian adults. Methods: Data available from the National Household Sample Survey COVID-19 (PNAD COVID 19) (July/September/November, 2020) were used in this retrospective investigation. The analyses considered the sampling design, primary sampling units, strata and sample weights. Poisson regression with robust variance was used to estimate prevalence ratio (PR) and the 95% confidence interval (95%CI) of the associations. Results: In July, September and November 2020, with regard to the rapid test, indigenous people were 2.45 (95%CI 1.48–4.08), 2.53 (95%CI 1.74–4.41) and 1.23 (95%CI 1.11–1.86) times more likely to report a positive history of SARS-CoV-2 infection, respectively. With regard to the RT-PCR test in November, indigenous people were more likely to test positive for COVID-19 (PR: 1.90; 95%CI 1.07–3.38). It was observed that the indigenous group was 1.86 (95%CI 1.05–3.29) and 2.11 (95%CI 1.12–3.59) times more likely to test positive for COVID-19 in September and November (2020). Income was associated with testing positive for COVID-19: in November, individuals whose income ranged from R$0.00–R$1.044 were more likely (PR: 1.69; 95%CI 1.16–23.06) to test positive using the RT-PCR test; participants whose income was in this range were also more likely to be diagnosed with COVID-19 using blood tests (PR: 1.72; 95%CI 1.43–2.07). Conclusion: The data presented show an association between race/ethnicity and economic status with a positive diagnosis of COVID-19.
Machinic Untimeliness I: Machine Becomings and Conceptual Machinations
Authors: Vignola Paolo
Published: August 2024

Abstract The paper Machinic Untimeliness I: Machine Becomings and Conceptual Machinations aims to investigate the becomings of the concept of machine in Félix Guattari, with particular attention to the operation of constant transformation of its conceptual layers sedimented since the encounter with Gilles Deleuze. The collection of biographical, as well as analytical and conceptual elements regarding these conceptual transformations indicates the possibility of thinking the operation precisely in terms of the machination that Guattari, by machinating (with) Deleuze’s philosophy, leads on several levels. Among these levels, the paper focuses on 1) the machination of the Deleuzian concept of structure; 2) the machination of Nietzsche as developed in Nomadic Thought; 3) the passage from Anti-Oedipus’ desiring machines and schizoanalysis to assemblages and micropolitics. While presenting itself as an independent paper, it is also the first part of a more general work on the conceptual, ontological, techno-logical and political ecological status of Guattarian machines. The second part, Machinic Untimeliness II: Writing, Assemblages, Ontologies and Techno-politics, is written by another author and presented jointly with this article not as a simple linear continuation, but as a perspectival integration, with a particular focus on machinic ontology and its relationship with ecology and politics.

Published: August 2024

RESUMO Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir os padrões regionais de territorialização de votos de candidatos a vereador no município de São Paulo. Em diálogo com a literatura sobre a geografia eleitoral no sistema de lista aberta e no município de São Paulo, exploramos a distribuição espacial de votos desses candidatos por meio de um indicador global de concentração e da identificação de territórios eleitorais no município, ressaltando como os fatores de gênero e partido estão associados a esses padrões. Nossos principais resultados apontam que candidatos competitivos têm votação mais dispersa que os não competitivos; existem regiões sub ou sobrerrepresentadas em relação ao seu eleitorado, e padrões claros entre os principais partidos; candidaturas femininas competitivas têm padrões de concentração distintos daquele de candidaturas masculinas.

Authors: Danilo de Santana Silva Jefferson , Mota dos Santos Claudia
Published: August 2024

Introdução: a nutrição enteral é indicada quando os pacientes estão impossibilitados, total ou parcialmente, de receberem alimentação por via oral, ou que essa via não atende no mínimo 70% das suas necessidades nutricionais. Contudo, a presença de intercorrências como a diarreia, podem influenciar na quantidade de dieta infundida, trazendo possíveis prejuízos aos objetivos da terapia nutricional, sendo necessário padronizar os protocolos utilizados no manejo desta manifestação gastrointestinal. Objetivo: realizar uma intervenção educativa no processo de frequência de diarreia em pacientes com uso de terapia nutricional enteral (TNE). Método: trata-se de uma pesquisa de intervenção, que engloba a metodologia pesquisa-ação, de característica quantitativa e qualitativa. A amostra foi composta por 30 profissionais de saúde de uma equipe multiprofissional das categorias de enfermagem, nutrição e medicina, atuantes na assistência hospitalar. O estudo foi realizado em duas fases, a primeira marcada pela coleta de dados que serviram como base para o cálculo da prevalência de diarreia nos setores avaliados da instituição, e a segunda caracterizada por estratégias educativas por meio de rodas de conversa com os participantes. A estatística descritiva foi utilizada para análise dos dados. Resultados: foi verificada uma prevalência de diarreia de 20% e 16,6%, na Unidade de terapia intensiva e clínica médica, respectivamente. A intervenção educativa contou com a participação de 30 profissionais de saúde, que relataram questões relativas a importância da conduta adequada, comunicação entre a equipe e educação permanente em serviço. Conclusão: a frequência de diarreia encontrou-se acima da meta preconizada em ambas as clínicas avaliadas e verificou-se que aspectos relacionados a educação permanente podem impulsionar a integralidade dos fazeres, favorecendo a articulação entre os trabalhadores, ampliando assim a capacidade resolutiva dos serviços.

Published: August 2024

The current understanding of autism among parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Malaysia reflects a multifaceted perspective marked by various challenges including confusion, financial constraints, limited resources, and a shortage of trained special needs teachers and affordable centers. This study aims to assess the level of autism knowledge among parents of individuals with ASD in Malaysia. A cross-sectional study involving 471 parents was conducted in the Klang Valley between May 2022 and June 2023, utilizing an online survey tool. The study found that most parents exhibited limited understanding in crucial areas related to autism such as its causes, diagnosis, and treatment options. Moreover, there was a significant relationship between the level of education and knowledge of ASD. The findings underscore the importance of comprehensive parental training to provide enduring support for children with ASD. This highlights the necessity for ongoing efforts to enhance parental knowledge and support systems for individuals with autism in Malaysia.

Perkembangan media sosial dan internet telah mengubah definisi kecantikan, mewujudkan tekanan untuk menjadi cantik dan menyebabkan peningkatan isu tingkah laku kecelaruan pemakanan seperti anoreksia nervosa, bulimia nervosa dan binge eating disorder. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan antara tahap penghargaan imej badan, kesejahteraan psikologi dengan tingkah laku kecelaruan pemakanan dalam kalangan mahasiswa Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). Kajian kuantitatif yang menggunakan kaedah survei ini mengadaptasikan pensampelan kebarangkalian rawak mudah bagi memperoleh 388 orang mahasiswa UKM yang terdiri daripada 127 mahasiswa lelaki dan 261 mahasiswa perempuan. Instrumen yang digunakan termasuk Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2) untuk mengukur penghargaan imej badan, Psychological Well-being Scale (PWBS) untuk mengukur kesejahteraan psikologi dan Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 (EDE-Q 6.0) untuk mengukur tingkah laku kecelaruan pemakanan. Hasil kajian mendapati penghargaan imej badan dan kesejahteraan psikologi mempunyai hubungan negatif yang signifikan dengan tingkah laku kecelaruan pemakanan. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini penting bagi institusi pendidikan dan pihak Kerajaan kerana ia menyediakan dapatan empirikal mengenai masalah imej badan dalam kalangan mahasiswa. Penemuan ini boleh digunakan untuk membangunkan intervensi bagi meningkatkan penerimaan imej badan dan mengurangkan tingkah laku kecelaruan pemakanan.

Nilai Kepimpinan Mahathir Mohamad dari Perspektif Mahasiswa Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI)
Authors: Mohd Noor Muhammad Syaqir , Mohd Hed Norhafiza
Published: August 2024

Mahathir Mohamad merupakan pemimpin negara yang berjaya membawa Malaysia ke arah pembangunan sosioekonomi yang pesat. Walau bagaimanapun, pada pemerintahannya sebagai Perdana Menteri kali kedua, berlaku ketidakstabilan politik, cabaran ekonomi dan kelemahan dalam perlaksanaan dasar-dasar yang dijanjikan. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur nilai kepimpinan Mahathir Mohamad dari perspektif mahasiswa Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) dalam dua tempoh pemerintahan beliau sebagai Perdana Menteri Malaysia. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kuantitatif menerusi instrumen soal selidik yang diedarkan secara rawak kepada seramai 377 orang mahasiswa UPSI. Hasil dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa gelaran Bapa Pemodenan sesuai dengan nilai kepimpinan Mahathir Mohamad yang banyak menyumbang kepada pembangunan sosioekonomi negara dan masyarakat. Walaupun kebanyakan mahasiswa UPSI meragui pemilihan Mahathir Mohamad sebagai Perdana Menteri yang ke-7, namun mereka tidak menafikan bahawa ketokohan beliau menentukan kemenangan Pakatan Harapan (PH) pada Pilihan Raya Umum ke-14. Hasil analisis juga menunjukkan ilmu dan pengalaman luas menjadikan Mahathir Mohamad seorang pemimpin yang terkenal di seluruh dunia. Secara keseluruhannya, kajian ini menyimpulkan bahawa terdapat perubahan pada penerimaan mahasiswa UPSI terhadap nilai kepimpinan Mahathir Mohamad. Penerimaan mahasiswa UPSI adalah tinggi sewaktu pemerintahan beliau sebagai Perdana Menteri ke-4. Namun, penerimaan mahasiswa berada pada tahap sederhana apabila beliau menjadi Perdana Menteri ke-7. Perubahan ini berlaku kesan daripada kematangan masyarakat dalam menilai politik nasional, di samping kelemahan pentadbiran beliau semasa menjadi Perdana Menteri ke-7. Implikasi kajian memberikan gambaran jelas mengenai perubahan dalam persepsi politik masyarakat terhadap kepimpinan Mahathir, dan keperluan menyusun strategi yang lebih baik untuk masa depan negara.
The Lived Experiences of Cluster Foster Parents in Caring for Foster Care Children with Special Needs in Mpumalanga, South Africa
Authors: Presley Manamela Nakedi , Frank Rapholo Selelo , Peter Singwane Thembinkosi
Published: August 2024

The growing number of children in foster care has often overburdened the foster care system and the social development capacity in South Africa. Cluster foster care is a contemporary and unfamiliar system of foster care in South Africa which emerged, among others, due to the protracted and tedious process of placing children in foster care, in addition to vulnerable children. The increase of children with special needs has also exacerbated the desolate foster care system. That said, the understanding of cluster foster parents particularly those fostering children with special needs has been greatly affected by the dearth of literature and paucity of studies focusing on this domain. Hence the objective of this qualitative study. Through the phenomenological research design and the application of purposive sampling, 15 cluster foster parents were selected to participate in the study. Following some vigorous semi-structured interviews and the subsequent thematic analysis, the findings of the study revealed that cluster foster parents are faced with extreme challenges such as lack of support, knowledge, and limitation of resources in fostering children with special needs. This was worsened by the behavioural challenges exhibited by the challenges with special needs. Further findings revealed that Cluster foster parents continue to struggle to meet the basic needs of foster children in need of care and protection. Consequently, the study recommends the development of empowerment programmes, enhanced support mechanisms and ongoing holistic assessment of cluster foster parents to enable enriching and adequate care of foster children with special needs.

Published: August 2024

Stres merupakan salah satu emosi yang normal dan sihat. Walau bagaimanapun, ia boleh merosakkan dan menganggu fungsi kehidupan seseorang itu. Justeru, stres merupakan salah satu elemen psikologi yang menjadi perhatian para pengkaji apabila menyelidik tentang ketagihan telefon pintar. Terdapat banyak kajian lepas yang menunjukkan bahawa stres yang timbul dari ketagihan telefon pintar dapat memberikan kesan yang buruk kepada kesihatan mental dan fizikal seseorang individu. Maka, kajian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan hubungan antara ketagihan telefon pintar dan persepsi stres individu dalam kalangan pelajar Universiti di Malaysia. Kaedah pensampelan mudah telah dijalankan dengan mengedarkan soal selidik dengan pautan Google Form di platform media sosial iaitu WhatsApp, Instagram dan Facebook. Sejumlah 165 orang pelajar universiti di serata Malaysia telah secara sukarela melengkapkan soal selidik yang mengandungi soalan yang berkaitan latar belakang personal, persepsi stres dan ketagihan telefon pintar. Hasil analisis korelasi Pearson telah menunjukkan terdapat hubungan positif dan sederhana yang signifikan antara ketagihan telefon pintar dan persepsi stres, r=.31**, p<.001. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa semakin meningkat skor ketagihan penggunaan telefon pintar dalam kalangan responden, semakin tinggi tanggapan stres. Kajian ini mempunyai dua implikasi yang utama terhadap bidang psikologi dan praktis. Hasil kajian ini dapat membantu memperluaskan kefahaman tentang ketagihan telefon pintar dan kesejahteraan psikologi. Di samping itu, hasil kajian ini juga dapat membantu profesion menolong seperti kaunselor, ahli terapi dan pekerja sosial bagi mengendalikan klien yang mempunyai isu ketagihan telefon pintar. Pengkaji mencadangkan kajian pada masa akan datang perlu menggunakan sampel yang lebih besar dan memfokuskan pembolehubah psikologi seperti kesejahteraan psikologi, daya tindakbalas dan regulasi emosi.

Sebelum kemunculan wabak COVID-19, ibu tunggal B40 telah menghadapi pelbagai kesukaran dalam membesarkan anak-anak tanpa bantuan dan sokongan suami. Walau bagaimanapun, keadaan telah menjadi lebih teruk apabila pandemik COVID-19 menjejaskan kehidupan ibu tunggal B40 secara mendadak terutamanya dari segi ekonomi. Majoriti ibu tunggal B40 telah kehilangan punca pendapatan disebabkan oleh pelaksanaan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP). Satu kajian kualitatif telah dijalankan bagi meneroka cabaran ekonomi yang dialami oleh ibu tunggal B40 semasa pandemik COVID-19. Informan kajian ini telah dipilih berdasarkan pensampelan bertujuan dengan menetapkan kriteria-kriteria inklusif seperti ibu tunggal yang bekerja untuk menyara keluarga, berpendapatan dalam kategori B40, mempunyai anak yang masih bersekolah dan bergelar ibu tunggal kerana bercerai atau kematian suami. Kajian ini telah menggunakan kaedah perbincangan kumpulan berfokus (FGD) sebagai kaedah pengumpulan data. Perbincangan kumpulan berfokus ini telah melibatkan 20 orang ibu tunggal B40 di Selangor yang kemudiannya telah dipecahkan kepada empat kumpulan kecil. Hasil perbincangan kumpulan berfokus mendapati tiga subtema cabaran ekonomi yang dialami oleh ibu tunggal B40 semasa pandemik COVID-19 iaitu penutupan perniagaan, pemotongan gaji atau elaun dan tiada simpanan kecemasan. Hasil kajian ini boleh dijadikan rujukan kepada kajian masa hadapan dan pihak-pihak serta agensi yang tertentu dalam menitikberatkan kesihatan mental ibu tunggal B40 semasa krisis dunia dengan mengambil kira cabaran-cabaran ekonomi yang dihadapi oleh mereka.

Published: August 2024

Penyalahgunaan dadah merupakan satu isu sosial yang memberi impak bukan sahaja kepada penagih, malahan terhadap sistem keluarga. Dalam sistem kekeluargaan pula, antara individu yang paling terkesan akibat penagihan dadah adalah isteri. Berdasarkan kajian-kajian lepas yang telah dilakukan di negara Barat, antara impak penagihan dadah terhadap isteri adalah tekanan ekonomi, konflik dalam perkahwinan dan isu berkaitan kesejahteraan mental. Di samping itu, berdasarkan sorotan terhadap kajian lepas, kajian-kajian lepas yang memfokuskan kepada isteri penagih dadah khususnya dalam konteks negara Malaysia didapati masih berkurangan. Sehubungan itu, objektif utama kajian ini adalah mengenalpasti tahap tekanan ekonomi, konflik perkahwinan dan kesejahteraan mental dalam kalangan isteri penagih dadah B40 di Malaysia. Pemilihan sampel kajian dilakukan dengan menggunakan kaedah pensampelan bertujuan dengan melibatkan seramai 132 orang responden. Alat ujian yang digunakan adalah Economic Strain Scale, subskala konflik perkahwinan yang terdapat dalam Braiker-Kelly Partnership Questionnaire dan Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (SWEMWBS). Data yang diperoleh telah dianalisis secara deskriptif dengan menggunakan perisian Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) versi 27. Hasil kajian mendapati majoriti responden mempunyai tahap tekanan ekonomi, konflik perkahwinan dan kesejahteraan mental yang sederhana. Hasil kajian ini dilihat dapat memberikan gambaran awal terhadap pengkaji dan pengamal psikologi di Malaysia dalam melakukan kajian dan membentuk intervensi yang bersesuaian khusus bagi golongan isteri penagih dadah B40 di Malaysia.

Published: August 2024

Menjaga Warga emas uzur (WEU) di rumah boleh memberi pelbagai cabaran dan menjejaskan keperluan penjaga tidak formal. Di Malaysia, tidak banyak kajian difokuskan dalam kalangan penjaga. Justeru, kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneroka keperluan tidak dipenuhi (KTD) dalam kalangan penjaga WEU di rumah. Reka bentuk kajian ini adalah secara kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi. Kajian ini telah dilaksanakan di daerah Hulu Langat, Selangor menggunakan jenis persampelan bertujuan dengan kriteria inklusi. Seramai enam orang penjaga WEU telah berjaya ditemu bual dan dikenal pasti melalui Persatuan Pesara UKM, Pusat Aktiviti Warga Emas (PAWE) UKM dan Persatuan Penduduk setempat. Data kajian telah dianalisis secara tematik menggunakan analisis manual. Hasil kajian menunjukkan lima tema KTD dialami penjaga iaitu kesejahteraan emosi, masalah kesihatan, keperluan sosial, rehat dan tidur serta impak pekerjaan. Kesemua penjaga mengalami sekurang-kurangnya satu KTD dan kesejahteraan emosi merupakan KTD paling kerap dilaporkan. Terdapat penjaga yang mengalami stres sehingga meninggalkan kesan negatif kepada tubuh WEU. Segelintir pula mengalami masalah kesihatan termasuk kemurungan dan kebimbangan, kurang berat badan, sakit pinggang dan tangan. Keperluan sosial penjaga juga sangat terhad dan kebanyakan mereka tidak melibatkan diri dalam aktiviti kemasyarakatan. Penjaga juga tidak menikmati rehat dan tidur secukupnya. Terdapat penjaga yang berhenti kerja untuk memberi fokus kepada penjagaan. Kesimpulannya, KTD dalam kalangan penjaga sangat memberi kesan kepada diri mereka dan warga emas yang dijaga. Malah masalah ini berisiko tinggi menyumbang kepada kes penderaan yang lebih serius. Justeru sokongan kepada penjaga ini perlu diberi perhatian oleh semua pihak agar KTD dalam kalangan penjaga dapat dikurangkan.
Women's Portrayal in Indonesia Popular Film
Authors: Budiana Daniel
Published: August 2024

The portrayal of women has long been a concern, especially in cinema, including Indonesian cinema. The modern era of Indonesian cinema began in 1998 and continues to the present day, as the best period for Indonesian cinema. In 1998, only five films were produced, but production gradually increased until its peak in 2016, with 124 titles being produced. This growth has had a positive impact on the image of women in cinema, but it has also presented different values regarding the portrayal of women. This paper examines the portrayal of women characters in Indonesia's popular films, focusing on the top three best selling films. Using the textual analysis method, the study reveals that women are often portrayed in relation to stereotypes entrenched in patriarchal culture. Men still have a strong image as the provider and women are dependent objects. The findings also show that social values are the primary determinants of women's portrayal in film. For instance, in appearance, a good girl is appropriately dressed, will be saved and happy. In contrast, aggressiveness for women will lead them into destruction. The portrayal of women in Indonesian best seller movies cannot be separated from patriarchal and social values, which implies that these films not only reflect but also potentially reinforce and perpetuate existing gender norms and power dynamics within society. This suggests that the representation of women in such media plays a significant role in shaping public perceptions of gender roles, further embedding these values into the cultural fabric and potentially influencing the way women are treated and perceived in real life.

For structural and geometric matching of the crystal lattices of the (0001) Al2O3 substrate and the deposited ZnO films, it is proposed to use a nanometer-thick WO2+x buffer layer. Using the method of reactive magnetron sputtering, an initial nanolayer of amorphous tungsten oxide is deposited on c-sapphire, which, during solid-phase annealing in oxygen at a pressure of 1.33 Pa and a substrate temperature of 650 °C, goes through a series of structural changes associated with changes in the composition of the WO2+x film. As the parameter x increases, processes of modification of the substrate surface occur and, at a certain stage, conditions are created for the epitaxial growth of the ZnO film. The structural features of the films were studied by reflection high-energy electron diffraction.

The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of motivational interviewing (MI) group counseling in enhancing intrinsic motivation and academic engagement among students at State Senior High School 2 Sragen, Indonesia. Students with low intrinsic motivation and academic engagement often display a lack of attention during learning activities, disinterest in school, use of cell phones for non-academic purposes during study time, and failure to complete assigned tasks. This study employed a pretest and multiple posttest design, with 14 students selected via purposive sampling and subsequently divided into two groups: the experimental group (7 students), who received group counseling with the MI approach over four meetings; and the control group (7 students), who did not receive intervention. Data were collected using the Intrinsic Motivation Scale (α = 0.92) and the Academic Engagement Scale (α = 0.89). The data were analyzed using the mixed MANOVA technique. Results demonstrated that the MI approach group counseling intervention positively influences students' intrinsic motivation and academic engagement. Additionally, a measurement effect (time) was observed in relation to students' intrinsic motivation and academic engagement. The study also showed an interaction effect between the MI approach group counseling intervention and measurement (time) on students' intrinsic motivation and academic engagement. Therefore, MI approach group counseling is an effective method for increasing students' intrinsic motivation and academic engagement. The presence of ambivalence is a crucial aspect in group counseling with the MI approach to facilitate the desired change talk.
