Authors: Marasca Stefano , D'Andrea Alessia , Cerioni Eva
Published: January 2024

This study aims to investigated if the integrated report, according to the IIRC (International Integrated Reporting Council) Framework, has the potential to disclose health information and to address citizens’ expectations. An explorative case was conducted in an Italian public hospital follows the action research approach. Semi-structured interviews were asked by researchers to reach a deep understanding of the phenomenon under study. The results show that Integrated Reporting is able to disclose the value created: the health outcome. There is a need for Integrated Reporting Framework adjustments for health sector purposes: in relation to some capitals of the framework, to the concept of value created in its particular emphasis on health outcome for patients and to the need to find a more effective communication method. The absence of stakeholder engagement activities in the Integrated Reporting adoption process influences the attractiveness of the document. In fact, the Integrated Reporting user appears to be only the financing institution.This study aims to investigated if the integrated report, according to the IIRC (International Integrated Reporting Council) Framework, has the potential to disclose health information and to address citizens’ expectations.

Authors: Wahidi Inaya , Kertous Mourad , Maliki Samir B. , Ayoub Henri
Published: January 2024

This paper addresses the impact of the multiple crises on Lebanese SMEs' performance. Little is known about the effect of the multiple crises in the Lebanese context, where SMEs have been significantly impacted. A descriptive-analytical method is used to analyze quantitative data based on 379 SMEs conducted by the World Bank between November and December 2020. Descriptive tests and the mean comparison (T-test) are used to analyze the data and understand the interaction between groups. The main results show that the business sector has no impact on SMEs’ performance. However, employees’ salary is the most relevant variable that affects SMEs’ performance. Salaries are reduced by 90.38% and positively affect liquidity and working hours changes but negatively affect clients’ demand, prices, and sales variation. It could be explained by the reduction of SMEs’ costs, working hours, and employees’ low motivation because of the low demand from the clients’ side. The liquidity is negatively affected by demand and prices, which reflect the low income of SMEs in times of multiple crises. To better understand and interpret the phenomenon of SMEs’ performance in times of multiple crises, we suggested a first model that reveals the effect of several factors on SMEs’ performance, which has barely been studied in the Lebanese context.

Synthesizing Social Constructivism and Cybergogy for Student Engagement in Open Distance and e-Learning (ODeL) Environments: An Integrative Review and Framework
Authors: DZİMBA Esnah , VAN DER POLL John Andrew
Published: January 2024

This paper synthesizes and integrates the concepts of social constructivism theory and the cybergogy framework to provide a comprehensive understanding of technology use to enhance student engagement in open distance and e-learning (ODeL) contexts. To meet this objective, we conducted an integrative review of the literature to map the conceptual terrain of current literature on student engagement in ODeL environments. The literature search was conducted across five databases, and themes were extracted from the literature to provide new perspectives and insights on student engagement in ODeL. The study underscores the role of facilitating technologies in ODeL. We found that student engagement in ODeL depends on developing an active digital pedagogy that promotes student empowerment and a sense of agency to apply digital tools to interact, collaborate, and enable purposefulness in the learning process. The findings also suggest that academic instructors require institutional support through training and continuous professional development to effectively utilize digital technologies to enhance student engagement. Additionally, ODeL institutions should be aware of the hidden workload impact on instructors that implementing active digital pedagogies for student engagement has. Therefore, instructors also require support with workload management interventions. Based on these findings, we develop a conceptual framework for engaged learning in ODeL environments.

The Importance of Art and Museum Education in Teacher Training
Authors: EGUZ Sule
Published: January 2024

Since art is an action specific to the individual, the development of aesthetic feelings within the education and training processes is an important condition for creating an effective society. People who do not have an artistic consciousness or love for art cannot realize and enjoy the works of art, cultural values and natural beauties they own, cannot protect them, cannot contribute to the cultural development of the society. It is important that art and museums, which have a great impact on all stages of life, are integrated with educational content by future teachers and that teacher candidates learn to integrate them into the classroom within the curriculum, taking into account the interests of the students. In this sense, it can be seen as a necessity for teacher candidates who undertake the education of the next generation to use artistic activities and museums effectively in the classroom, as they undertake the task of transferring social culture. This study aims to reveal the thoughts of Social Studies educators on the importance of art and museum practices in teacher education. In line with this general purpose, evaluations were made in parallel with the opinions of field experts at the end of the research.

Self-Reflection on the Meaningfulness of Vocational Students' Lives and Their Expectations from the Future in the Context of Demanded Quality
Authors: RUSKOVA Dagmar , VASKOVA Lubica
Published: January 2024

Vocational education has a special and irreplaceable place in the educational system of each country. On its quality depends continuous transition of graduates into the world of labour. The article analyses the research, organized for students of secondary vocational schools. The ambition of the research was to find a mutual intersection of two levels of life of young people - students of secondary vocational schools. The first level examines how young people evaluate the meaning of their lives, how they perceive their future, the goals of life and its direction through the scale of subjective attitudes The second level analyses the students' opinion of their readiness for the labour market, as vocational training naturally reflects on the world of labour and consistently cooperates with it. Students are regularly confronted with the real world of labour during vocational education. What role do teachers play in this confrontation? Is the measure of professionalism, sensitivity and promptness of teachers a sufficient guarantee of quality transition of vocational education graduates to the world of labour? Or, are the students exposed to media pressure, information and communication technologies and social networks in which teachers do not have a clearly defined positive role? How do the students themselves evaluate their level of preparedness or qualifications for labour performance after their studies? The real quality of vocational education only the future will check. However, the analysis of contemporary opinions of students can be a significantly positive stimulus for the future.
Challenges of Blended versus Online Learning with Arduino for Teachers and Students
Authors: KRELJA-KURELOVİC Elena
Published: January 2024

The paper provides a comparative analysis of blended learning versus fully online learning of informatics course using Arduino. The aim of the research is to find out which teaching method leaves students more satisfied in learning the basics of electronics and programming. Until the Covid-19 pandemic, teaching took place in a computer classroom, with project-based learning in teams, while all teaching materials were uploaded to Moodle e-course. The advantages of blended learning on Arduino projects are active learning by doing, student collaboration and peer learning, the physical presence of the teacher with his immediate feedback and support. The disadvantages are the limited time to complete the Arduino projects, the need for a sufficient number of Arduino kits, the possibility of hardware failure, and the uneven contributions of student team members. Due to the transition to fully online teaching during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Autodesk Tinkercad Circuits web-based software was chosen. This software provides a virtual Arduino simulator for creating, programming and testing Arduino circuits, and managing a virtual classroom. The advantages of online learning with Arduino are increased effort and motivation of individual students, avoidance of electronic component failures and reduced frustration due to errors. The disadvantages are technical problems, communication problems, such as the lack of direct contact with the teacher and each other, and the lack of development of practical skills. Nevertheless, the research of two generations of first-year students of informatics (N=72) shows that they are more satisfied with online learning on Arduino projects than with blended learning, and this difference is statistically significant (t(70)=3.91; p<0.01). Therefore, Tinkercad Circuits can be used as an educational tool in regular classes to make learning the basics of electronics and programming more interesting and successful.

Published: January 2024

The world of education institutions has witnessed rapid developments in E-learning styles, especially in the past few years. These developments also included learning management systems (LMS). Such systems can be assessed using the technology acceptance model (TAM) and system usability scale (SUS). In this study, TAM and SUS were utilized to investigate the learning experience of engineering students on their LMS and their perception of its usefulness and accessibility. A field study of 200 users was conducted in this investigation. The results showed that 27% of students expressed a “good” and “excellent” usability experience with the LMS whereas 60% of students expressed an “average” experience. The results also showed that more than 50% of students agreed with the statements of perceived usefulness, but they were generally neutral with the ease-of-use of the LMS. Further, statistical results showed that students who had a positive experience with the LMS were statistically significantly more in agreement with its usefulness but not how easy it is to be used. This indicated that students could develop an attitude towards the LMS, thus affecting their actual use of the LMS. The study could potentially indicate the advantages and disadvantages of LMS’s in terms of interaction and user experience from the students’ point of view.

Published: January 2024

Socio-cultural background as a factor in social life can provide direction for how the community preserves local culture. The lack of knowledge about the existence of the Karangbesuki Temple site can be a sign that the socio-cultural literacy of the temple is still poor. Based on the conditions above, the priority of this research is to find out how the socio-cultural literacy of youth is related to the digital preservation of Karangbesuki Temple culture. This qualitative study used a phenomenological approach with five young people in the Karangbesuki area as informants. The characteristics of the management of Karangbesuki Temple still use the concept of self-help, so it does require community involvement, especially local communities. Karangbesuki youth, as members of the community, can help promote the site and learn to carry on oral traditions and justify history for the cultural preservation of Karangbesuki Temple. Impressive research findings show that the socio- cultural literacy of youth in the Karangbesuki area has made youth willing to carry out cultural preservation at Karangbesuki Temple. Youth also do not hesitate to make the history of Karangbesuki Temple their identity or attribute. Karangbesuki youth can be said to have been quite good at socio-cultural literacy which implements the culture preservation of Karangbesuki Temple. Youth have high knowledge about how they can play a role and act as successors to local culture. One proof of the results of this knowledge is the creation of a promotional video for the temple and the participation of youth in cultural activities and discussions. PPBI, as a facilitator of cultural knowledge of Karangbesuki Temple, also works with youth to be better at preserving the culture of the Karangbesuki Temple site.

Published: January 2024

Any suffering or discomfort, whether physical or mental, brought on by an illness or injury is referred to as pain. No matter how minor the pain is, it still causes agony and interferes with daily activities for the sufferer. A toothache can cause throbbing pain, a sports injury can provide muscular pain similar to a sprain, renal calculi can cause colicky pain that comes in spasms, stomach pain can cause joint pain owing to an inflammatory condition, and many other forms of pain can manifest. Musculoskeletal and neuromuscular pain, such as that caused by arthritis, sciatica, lumber spondylosis, headaches, etc., are highly prevalent in today's world. Acute and chronic pain are further classifications of pain based on how long it lasts. In the modern world Our go-to remedy for pain is a painkiller, but using them too frequently weakens our tolerance to the drug's negative effects and increases the risk of major long-term health issues. According to Ayurveda, pain arises from a vitiated Vata dosha, and when this dosha is effectively treated, pain naturally disappears. Many people have the misconception that Ayurveda is ineffective at treating acute pain and that its medications should only be used for chronic pain, with consistently delayed results. However, what these people fail to realise is how well Ayurveda is managed.

Penelitian ini mengangkat masalah Bagaimana hukum mengatur tentang tindakan Direksi yang dilakukan setelah masa jabatannya berakhir dan Bagaimana hubungan hukum antara pengesahan dan penegasan RUPS dengan tanggung jawab Direksi atas tindakan perseroan yang dilakukan setelah masa jabatan mereka berakhir dalam konteks pengesahan dan penegasan tindakan Direksi untuk pemberian acquit de charge?.

Metode penelitian yang dipakai adalah yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan kasus. Analisis bahan hukum dilakukan melalui metode kualitatif.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Direksi perseroan terbatas terikat oleh aturan, termasuk masa jabatan. Tindakan pengurusan selama masa jabatan dianggap tindakan perseroan, sedangkan setelah masa jabatan dianggap ultra vires. Meskipun undang-undang tak melarang ultra vires, Direksi bisa membenarkannya dengan alasan kuat seperti itikad baik. Direksi bertanggung jawab penuh atas tindakan ultra vires, kecuali jika memenuhi persyaratan yang ditetapkan undang-undang. Pasal 97 mengatur bahwa tanggung jawab bisa beralih ke perseroan jika persyaratan tertentu dipenuhi, meratifikasi tindakan sebagai milik perseroan.

Latar Belakang: Seiring perkembangan zaman dan teknologi, muncul berbagai permasalahan hukum yang semakin kompleks. Salah satunya adalah masalah kekerasan, terutama kekerasan dalam rumah tangga, yang merupakan pelanggaran hak asasi manusia dan bentuk diskriminasi. Data dari Kementerian Perlindungan Perempuan dan Anak menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar kasus kekerasan (79,6%) menimpa perempuan. Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945 menjamin rasa aman dan bebas dari segala bentuk kekerasan, dan Undang-Undang No. 23 Tahun 2004 tentang Penghapusan Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga (UU PKDRT) mengakui KDRT sebagai pelanggaran hak asasi manusia yang harus dihapuskan. Oleh karena itu, memahami masalah KDRT adalah wujud kepedulian terhadap martabat manusia dan kemanusiaan.
Deskripsi Kasus: Seorang perempuan berusia 48 tahun dengan inisial NAS dibawa ke Centra Visum RS Bhayangkara Kota Makassar pada tanggal 11 Oktober 2023 setelah mengalami kejadian kekerasan oleh suaminya. Pada tanggal 9 Oktober 2023, korban diserang oleh suaminya yang mencoba menabraknya dengan mobil hingga terseret dan terbentur pada tiang listrik. Korban mengungkapkan bahwa kekerasan ini telah berlangsung selama 20 tahun terkait utang piutang dan perselingkuhan dalam rumah tangganya. Hasil pemeriksaan fisik menunjukkan luka memar pada paha kanan dan betis sebelah kanan korban.
Kesimpulan: Luka memar pada paha kanan dan betis sebelah kanan korban adalah bukti trauma atau benturan pada area tersebut, tanpa kerusakan pada kulit atau jaringan di bawahnya. Dalam konteks forensik, luka memar ini menunjukkan tindak kekerasan atau penganiayaan pada korban, yang memerlukan investigasi lebih lanjut untuk mengungkap penyebabnya. Dalam proses pembuktian tindak pidana Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga (KDRT), Undang-undang Pemberantasan Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga (PKDRT) memberikan kemudahan dengan memperbolehkan keterangan seorang saksi korban sebagai alat bukti sah, asalkan didukung oleh alat bukti sah lainnya. Dalam kasus yang dibahas, alat bukti yang digunakan mencakup keterangan saksi korban, saksi lain, keterangan terdakwa, dan Visum Et Repertum.

This interaction, which combines theory with practice, gives participants an in-depth understanding of the research, writing, and publication process. Furthermore, by leveraging the expertise of the source, participants gain insight into the standards and expectations of the wider academic community. The post-training evaluation showed rejoicing results. The majority of participants increased confidence in writing and felt better prepared to participate in academic discussions and contributions to scientific publications. This increase confirms the effectiveness of the training approach adopted. This initiative, apart from its success in improving teacher writing skills, also shows the great potential of collaboration between higher education institutions and secondary schools.
