Published: August 2023

This paper focuses on the involvement of parents in the “Classes on the net” research project and their opinion and suggestions about this project. “Classes on the net” is a hybrid model, based on the idea of working with classrooms as Knowledge Building Communities This educational model can improve the management of small and isolated classes characterized by multigrade classes. In “Classes on the net”, delocalized classes aim to design a common disciplinary path involving student groups in parallel in the same activities by adapting calendars, spaces, and teacher roles. Teachers of delocalized classes share cooperative educational practices such as “pairs aidants/peer supporters”, “mentorat/mentoring” or “delocalized equipe” by using Video conferencing and Knowledge Forum.

“Classes on the net” model was tested for the first time in Italy in the Abruzzo small schools in the school year 2020/2021. The experimentation involved 12 small schools, 11 digital animators, 31 teachers, and 6 observers (school principals). This experimentation did not originate during COVID-19 to address the issues that the pandemic generated but was planned and started before the advent of emergency, obviously, the experimentation was influenced by COVID-19. The present paper, after the literature review concerning remoteness and parenting in small and rural schools and home- school partnership in rural educational settings, will introduce the “Classes on the net” model and present the focus group result held with parents. The focus group took into consideration parent-school relationship, parents and information and communication technology, and the involvement of parents in the research project and their opinion about it.

Authors: Sirbele Bayang
Published: August 2023

Chad in general and Kaya in particular, hosts a large number of refugees, returnees and internally displaced persons. Wars, inter-community conflicts and the nebulous Boko Haram sect are the causes of massive displacement of populations from neighboring countries to Chad and Kaya. The arrival of Nigerian and Nigerian refugees, returnees and internally displaced Chadians has increased the population and the need for energy, especially firewood and charcoal. Moreover, to meet their food and financial needs, these migrants are forced to destroy the plant resources of the region and of Kaya in order to survive. This is damaging the natural environment and the economy of the Lac and Kaya region. Thus, 25 refugees, returnees and displaced persons were studied and empirical data collected in order to determine their responsibility in the degradation of vegetation in Kaya. Then, 3 people in charge of the environment in Bagassola were interviewed to gather their opinions on the role played by refugees, returnees and IDPs in Kaya in the environmental degradation in this area. Five interviews were held with NGOs in Bagassola to find out the underlying reasons that lead refugees, returnees and IDPs to destroy nature.

Authors: Aller Al-Yusri S , Tangonan Liezl F
Published: August 2023

A flexible learning modality was implemented to provide relevant and quality education as educational institutions respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, the study examined community college students’ perceptions of a flexible learning modality. The study utilized a non-experimental quantitative research design through a validated survey with 211 students from the selected three community colleges. The data were analyzed using frequency distribution, percentage, weighted mean, ANOVA, and multiple regression. Students’ perceptions towards flexible learning modality with regard to their attitude revealed that students were fairly positive with the learning modality and moderately confident with the set-up of flexible learning. In addition, their level of engagement is noticeably high throughout their learning. Comparing the students’ demographic profiles and perceptions implies no significant differences. The level of engagement and their perceptions of flexible learning concerning readiness showed a negative correlation. However, a positive correlation exists between students’ level of engagement and their attitudes toward the said modality. This suggests that students should receive the appropriate instruction and orientation and be prompted to consider their qualities as flexible learners, as well as their abilities in time management, communication, and technical skills, as these abilities are essential for flexible learning modality.
Information Quality Improvement With Task Selection Algorithm For IoT Energy Harvesting Devices
Authors: Vo Minh Huan
Published: August 2023

The purpose of study is to propose a task selection algorithm that both keeps information quality and saves power consumption in IoT energy harvesting devices. The proposed algorithm not only keeps stable information quality but saves power loss also. The sensor node operation is divided into four tasks depending on the input data including battery capacity, solar panel charging current, and input sensor data variation. The task selector based on a neural network consists of an input layer, a hidden layer of 20 neurons, and an output layer. The proposed algorithm is different from the predefined task algorithm, which mainly focused on deep sleep mode or scheduled tasks. Our proposed algorithm helps the sensor node to be more adaptive to the environment based on real-time execution at each node. The collected information amount varies according to the input data variation. The experiment results show that the proposed algorithm collects higher quality information at large input data variation. The battery lifetime is also improved by up to 22%.

On Research of Cable Tension Distribution Algorithm for Four Cables - Three DOF Planar Cable-Driven Parallel Robot
Authors: Dao Cong Hoang Kha , Tuong Phuoc Tho , Vu Ngoc Duc , Nguyen Minh Nhat
Published: August 2023

One of the main concerns in controlling the cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR) mechanism is dealing with the distribution of tension on each cable, which is critical to the operation of the entire cable system. It can be said that adjusting the cable tension will determine the power consumption of the motors and the stiffness of the structure. Therefore, the problem that needs to be solved is how to handle the cable tension when the end-effector moves throughout the entire workspace. The tension of each cable needs to be adjusted properly to ensure it remains the same. Moment and force act in a static state, keeping the kinematic position of the end moving platform from being deflected and the main purpose is to ensure that the robot achieves a rigid state and eliminates vibration when moving. Because of that essential demand, this article will refer to the Quadratic programming algorithm to solve the problem of tension distribution for the Planar Cable-Driven Parallel Robot consisting of 4 cables with 3 degrees of freedom. This article will be the foundation for applying this algorithm to an 8-cable robot with 6 degrees of freedom (Spatial Cable-Driven Parallel Robot for example). At the same time, in this article, the simulation results for the algorithm will also be presented in this paper.

Authors: Ho Ngoc The Quang , Do Thanh Trung
Published: August 2023

Turning is a traditional and widely used machining process in the manufacturing industry. The finished surface quality is one of the most important factors in determining the quality of the product and the effectiveness of the machining process. The surface quality is affected by several factors such as workpiece surface, cutting parameters and tool stiffness. Also, the finite element method is a powerful tool to analyze these factors and optimize the process parameters to achieve the desired surface finish. Therefore, in this study, the different values of wavelength (s), cutting speed (v), cutting feed (f) and stiffness of toolholder (Kx) were considered by using simulation method. Then, the surface roughness values (Rz) were determined from the different between the average value of the five tallest profile peak height and the average value of the five deepest profile valley in the finished surface. The results showed that the cutting feed was a main parameter that effected on the surface roughness (Rz) in the metal turning process. Also, the optimal value of surface roughness was achieved when s = 0.05 mm, f = 0.3 - 0.4 mm/rev, Kx = 4 - 6 e8N/m and v = 190 m/min. The findings of this study can be helpful in selecting the surface quality of the workpiece, determining the sequence of machining steps and choosing the cutting parameters to achieve both high productivity and the desired surface quality of turning products.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the tourism industry is by the use of online learning. The purpose of this study was to evaluate disparities in gender and year in school, such as those between freshmen and sophomores, in terms of participants' Expectations, Motivations, and Behaviors. The research aims to determine the factors determining first-year students' decision-making in choosing Tourism Management at DLSU-Dasmarinas. The study was a pilot study consisting of twenty HTM students. The most current research on the reasons why Asian students choose to major in HTM was used as a guide for determining the motivation statements that would be included in the survey instrument. The analysis of the data for this study was carried out in three stages: [1] information on the respondents was obtained from the findings of descriptive statistics (means and frequency); [2] the data that were gathered were subjected to a factor analysis in order to determine the fundamental aspects of HTM research expectations, motivations, and behaviors; [3] only factors that had an eigenvalue of more than one were considered valid, and only items that had factor loadings and commonalities greater than 0.4 were included in the final factor structure. The results of the study show that there is no significant difference in the decision of freshmen students for choosing tourism management in a school with a high tourism enrollment rate of 246 from the previous term. It is also hypothesized that the demographic profile of the respondents is a significant factor that determines the decision. In addition, the results of this exploratory study will aid in identifying the topic areas within HTM in which Filipino students prefer to concentrate in their studies of the subject. The findings of this research study will provide awareness, understanding, and an opportunity to recognize.

Japan has long been a prominent film destination, having given the world Akira Kurosawa (1910-1998), the great film director and cult movie figure. The influence of Japan on Hollywood production is evident and well-established, however there are limited studies concerning the influence of locally made Japanese movies in film-induced tourism in Japan. There exists an underutilized opportunity of destination exposure in Japanese film markets through locally made movies that can induce audiences’ travel behavior; thus, it is crucial to understand the impact of destination exposure specific in the Japanese film market. The study adapted the modified meaning transfer model, and this characterizes product placement as a transformative process whenever viewers can see the things without needing to utilize them. Experimental Quantitative research design was utilized in this research with 30 respondents chosen through purposive sampling. This established the following factors to effectively and objectively gather data: (1) treatment factors which is destination exposure, (2) the scope or variation of attributes in which the treatment factors were measured are affective attribute and affective affinity, (3) the manner in which the data were gathered and recorded through pre-testing and post-testing of a Likert scale modified instrument which measure travel intention through familiarity of culture and attractions and the desire to visit Japan, (4) the criteria provided the conclusions and implications for the recorded data as well as the treatment of paired T-test. The study found that destination image as a single determinant is significant factor in influencing travel intention of the participants. Age showed significant difference with travel intention before exposure to destination image while desired duration of travel is found to be significant in familiarity of destination image before exposure.

IMPACT OF NEEDLE STICK INJURIES ON STUDENT NURSES AT KTH HOSPITAL, PESHAWAR, PAKISTAN
Authors: KHAN RUBY , PARI BAKHT
Published: August 2023

Needle stick injury (NSI) is a significant hazard in healthcare settings that poses a potential risk of transmission of blood-borne diseases. This cross-sectional study aims to determine the prevalence of NSI among student nurses in a tertiary care hospital in Peshawar and their knowledge about NSI prevention and control. The data collected through structured questionnaires, and the sample size was 147. The results showed 37% of students had experienced NSI during the last six months, while 70% were vaccinated and 75% were screened against HBS, HCV, and HIV. The study emphasizes the need for further training, workshops, and close supervision to prevent NSI complications and enhance safe practices during healthcare services. The positive effect of free vaccination and government attention to increasing the strength of nurses to control the increasing rate of NSI is also highlighted. Due to lack of proper supervision by trained staff, student nurses often suffer from needle stick injuries during their practical work. Patients may admitted to the hospital already contaminated with communicable diseases, and their beds are not labeled to indicate this. Exposure to NSIs can cause fear, insecurity, and low self-esteem in student nurses. There are many psychological consequences associated with NSIs, such as fear, anxiety, and depression. Student nurses are at substantial risk for NSIs because they often perform invasive procedures with minimal knowledge and experience. Education and awareness-raising about NSI prevention and reporting have been shown to positively impact previous studies. Observational studies conducted in Pakistan have recommended that nurse students receive further education to reduce the incidence of NSIs, as they are often deprived of advanced knowledge and experience. A lack of staff in hospitals can contribute to NSIs as nurses may ignore their safety while performing their duties. Two-handed recapping is responsible for approximately 80% of needle stick injuries.

Nederlands klimaatmitigatiebeleid top-down of bottom-up?
Authors: Harmsen Harm , Lamers Machiel
Published: August 2023

Dutch climate mitigation policies top-down or bottom-up? Research on the role of local governance in climate mitigation policies.

Our research question is: how do Dutch municipalities practice their local steering role within climate mitigation policy? Policy documents of twelve municipalities have been analysed and corresponding policymakers have been interviewed. Our research illustrates that the Dutch government is struggling with the changing relations with society and the growing dependency on it for reaching policy targets. According to literature, the governmental steering role of process management is expected to be more effective in situations of high dependency. However, the policy strategies of municipalities meet characteristics of project management. Meanwhile, the project targets are not controllably formulated and rely solely on actions of other local parties. The ministry has assigned municipalities to use this project management style, to implement the projects in a top-down manner, and to find partners after the implementation phase. Municipal policymakers indicate that they are facing problems afterwards, because the ‘partners’ have interests that do not correspond with the projects as formulated by the municipalities. It is more effective to negotiate with the other parties. This is necessary in order to formulate collective policy targets that meet the interests of all of the participating parties in accordance with the theory of network governance and process management.

A Pragmatic Approach to Translating Speech Acts in Religious Discourse
Authors: Mehdi Al-Aadili Nesaem
Published: August 2023

The present study investigates the relationship between pragmatics, as the study of the intended meaning of the speaker, and translation, as the process of transferring texts from a source language to a target language. It shows how pragmatic meaning is outstanding in the process of translation, particularly the translation of speech acts in Arabic religious texts. It is an attempt to highlight the role of pragmatics in translating speech acts and to show how syntax and semantics are not enough to preserve the real intended meaning. Moreover, it demonstrates that translating religious texts is not only a matter of following the common linguistic categories of morphology, syntax, lexis, and semantics, but it is also a matter of pragmatic meaning where the intended meaning in a particular context is an essential factor that preserves real meaning. Thus, the aim is to address an important level of translation, namely the pragmatic level. In accordance with this aim, it is hypothesized that translating Arabic religious texts involves problems at the pragmatic level where there are hurdles that should be overcome in the area of speech acts. These include the following as far as the topic and the data of the study are concerned: (1) the illocutionary force of some utterances is mistranslated, (2) no clear distinction is drawn between isolated and group speech acts, and (3) a speech act of one class is translated as another speech act belonging to another class; in other words, there is sometimes indeterminacy in translating speech acts and this indeterminacy can be resolved by reference to the global organization of the text. To this end, extracts from some translated Arabic religious texts are selected and the problems, as regard speech acts, are specified and analyzed. Then, the extracts are translated according to the suggested pragmatic approach which is more essential than the semantic approach.
