Authors: Rosa Milton , Orey Daniel Clark
Published: February 2025

Uma tendência comum em Educação Matemática é valorizar e respeitar os saberes e fazeres matemáticos locais em seu paradigma de pesquisas, que é um dos objetivos de processos decolonizadores. Assim, para melhor compreender como a etnomatemática se relaciona com a perspectiva decolonial do conhecimento matemático eurocêntrico, esse estudo objetivou compreender as reflexões de 12 participantes, que são investigadores brasileiros e internacionais, sobre essa relação, por meio da elaboração de categorias analíticas para um entendimento holístico desse fenômeno. Os resultados desta pesquisa qualitativa mostram que o processo decolonizador desencadeado pela Etnomatemática evoca um distúrbio que causa uma revisão de normas e regulamentos no processo de ensino e aprendizagem em Matemática ao propor um diálogo decolonizador do conhecimento matemático.

Authors: Sánchez Rubén , Rodríguez Mabel Alicia
Published: February 2025

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo compartir el diseño y la validación de un modelo pedagógico orientado a asignaturas de Educación Matemática de la formación inicial de maestros del nivel primario. Un primer diseño del modelo surge, en el marco de una investigación cualitativa, al utilizar una metodología de tipo inductiva. Luego de la fundamentación teórica, iniciamos una doble validación: teórica y empírica. La primera, por pares inter-jueces y la segunda poniendo en práctica el modelo al implementar una secuencia de actividades, enmarcada en él, para una asignatura de una institución colombiana de formación de maestros. Reportamos en este trabajo el diseño del modelo y las validaciones. Dos características centrales del modelo son: la inmersión en el rol docente desde la cual el futuro maestro construye conocimiento didáctico-matemático, y la flexibilidad para ser utilizado en distintas asignaturas y regiones, pudiendo el formador adaptarlo a las perspectivas teóricas curriculares vigentes. Hemos decidido incluir en este trabajo desarrollos muy precisos y exhaustivos sobre el diseño del modelo, en desmedro de más detalles sobre los resultados de la implementación realizada en Bogotá, Colombia. La decisión tiene la intencionalidad de que el texto resulte útil para formadores de maestros de distintas regiones interesados en utilizarlo.

Authors: Rodríguez Garcés Carlos , Romero Garrido David , Espinosa Valenzuela Denisse , Padilla Fuentes Geraldo
Published: February 2025

Dada la importancia y transversalidad curricular de las competencias para la resolución, representación, modelación y argumentación matemática en la formación de profesores, este artículo comparó los resultados obtenidos en una prueba de razonamiento lógico-matemático por estudiantes recién ingresados a pedagogía en una universidad pública chilena (cohorte 2022) respecto de aquellos que se encuentran en la fase terminal de su proceso formativo (cohorte 2019). Los análisis estadísticos inferenciales reportaron bajos niveles de logro a nivel general y en cada una de las dimensiones de la prueba aplicada (Dominio y Contenido), sin observarse diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre las cohortes. Se concluye que estos bajos resultados podrían ser expresión de un conjunto de factores actitudinales y socioeducativos que, como extensión de un sistema educativo altamente segmentado, se prolongaron y profundizaron durante las clases online, modalidad de enseñanza abruptamente adoptada en respuesta a la emergencia sanitaria por Covid-19.

The Influence Of Village Officials, Community Participation, And Educational Background Of Village Heads On Accountability Of Village Fund Management With Leadership Style As A Variable Of Moderation
Authors: Jayadi Jayadi , Setiawati Setiawati , Sutarti Sutarti
Published: February 2025

Village funds are allocations of money to support government activities, development projects, community activities, and community empowerment. Accountability is the obligation to report and be responsible for the success or failure of the organization's mission in achieving previously set results, through periodic accountability media. Accountability in village fund management is the obligation to report and be responsible for the village funds managed for the benefit of village development and the welfare of the village community. The purpose of this research is to examine the influence of village apparatus, community participation, and the educational background of village heads on the accountability of village fund management with leadership style as a moderating variable. This research is a quantitative study with a population of all village officials in Electoral District 6, Bogor Regency, totaling 671 people. The research sample consisted of 87 respondents determined using the Slovin formula with a 10% margin of error and with the sampling technique using purposive sampling. Data analysis using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with a Partial Least Square approach (PLS). The research results indicate that the knowledge, skills, and experience of village officials have a negative and significant impact on the accountability of village fund management, possibly due to a lack of skills or potential fraud. On the contrary, community participation has a positive impact, indicating that public involvement increases social pressure and oversight of the village government. The educational background of the village head also has a positive impact, strengthening accountability through a better understanding of financial management. However, when community participation is moderated by leadership style, the impact becomes negative, highlighting the importance of effective leadership. A good leadership style reinforces the positive impact of village head education.

Proposing a Comprehensive Model to Explore and Evaluate the Factors Influencing Egyptian Consumers’ Brand Loyalty: An Empirical Study in the Home Appliances Sector
Authors: Shalash Mostafa Ahmed
Published: February 2025

The home appliance industry in the Egyptian market is currently witnessing rapid growth with very intense competition. In light of this fierce competition, the concept of brand loyalty has emerged as an important issue that should be carefully studied. Although manufacturers realize the importance of this concept, there is still no agreement on the factors that influence it. Furthermore, a lot of previous studies have examined the role of mediator variables in generating brand loyalty and conceptualized these mediating variables as a necessary commitment. However, there may be no need for such intermediary factors, rather the relationship can be direct between the antecedents of brand loyalty and brand loyalty. As such, this study aims to (1) develop an integrated conceptual model to discover the factors that Egyptian consumers rely on to build their loyalty in the context of home appliances, and (2) detect the relative importance of each factor in achieving overall consumer brand loyalty. To fulfill these objectives, the study proposes six factors namely brand trust, brand image, after-sales service, customer satisfaction, perceived quality, and brand experience. The novelty in this study lies in proposing one integrated model that includes the main determinants responsible for brand loyalty and studying them together instead of studying the influence of each determinant separately as in previous studies. In addition, till now there is no clear insight into whether the proposed factors have a direct or mediating effect on brand loyalty; this research attempts to answer this controversial question. For this purpose, the survey method is used as the primary data collection. 400 questionnaires were randomly distributed to home appliance buyers living in Alexandria city. The collected data were analyzed statistically using SPSS software. Correlation analysis, multiple linear regression, and stepwise regression were used to reach our results. The main findings of the study indicated that there is a significant and direct relationship between all proposed factors and consumer brand loyalty. However, after-sales service, perceived quality, brand trust, and customer satisfaction are notable determinants and have the highest relative importance on Egyptian consumer brand loyalty concerning home appliances.

Published: February 2025

This study investigates the impact of transformative leadership thical leadership modelling, adaptive leadership engagement, and cultural inclusivity on employee productivity in Abuja's Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs). Using a census sampling method, data were collected from a population of 7,710 individuals across 15 MDAs, with 663 valid responses analyzed, representing a 96.2% response rate. Employing a cross-sectional survey design, validated instruments measured leadership dimensions and productivity, and multiple regression analysis tested the relationships. The findings reveal that ethical leadership and cultural inclusivity significantly enhance employee productivity, with cultural inclusivity emerging as the strongest predictor. A one-unit increase in cultural inclusivity and ethical leadership leads to 0.524 and 0.381-unit increases in productivity, respectively. Adaptive leadership engagement showed no significant effect, reflecting contextual implementation challenges. The study underscores the transformative potential of ethical and inclusive leadership in addressing governance inefficiencies and fostering performance in Abuja's MDAs. This research recommends prioritizing ethical leadership and cultural inclusivity through tailored training programs to enhance accountability, transparency, and collaboration. Efforts should also refine adaptive leadership practices to overcome bureaucratic barriers, ensuring sustainable productivity improvements in Nigeria’s public sector.
Applying The Extended Theory of Planned Behaviour to Predict Street Food Patronage Behaviour: A Literature Review
Authors: Esiti Blankson Governor , Ayodele Adeola A.
Published: February 2025

This paper aims to develop an integrative conceptual framework for predicting street food patronage behaviour in a typical emerging economy setting. Extant literatures reveal that the theory of planned behavior (TPB) is the most widely used theory to explain patronage behavior in food marketing literature but few studies have extended the theory to accommodate other variables and investigate the nexus among these variables especially on Street Food Patronage (SFP) from an emerging economy like Nigeria. Also, the existing frameworks and models developed in advanced economies may not be suitable for developing street food patronage behavior in Nigeria because of its peculiarities. The major importance of this study is to make available a comprehensive and robust framework for prospective researchers in this area, which will guide and direct their studies. The framework is premised on five key constructs- attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and past behavior. More so, the proposed SFP conceptual framework is capable of providing insight for developing food marketing-related policies.
The Prevalence, Determinants, and Health Risks of Domestic Violence in Gedeo and West Gujji Zones, Southern Ethiopia: An Evidence-based Study
Authors: Awol Asebe , Gezahegn Melkamu
Published: February 2025

This study was aimed at looking in to women’s experiences of violence in the home in
selected woreda’s of Gedeo and West Gujji Zones. Mixed research approach was employed to collect the required data from victims of domestic violence, police officers, and officials and experts in concerned government offices. The quantitative data collected was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 and thematic analysis method was employed for qualitative data. The result revealed those women’s accounts of abuse is a complex phenomenon because it includes various forms, ranging from humiliation, threats and social isolation to forced sex and battering. Violence against women runs along a range, often escalating from milder forms to more serious acts. The finding indicated that men who are physically abusive are also psychologically, economically and sexually abusive. In this study, Economic dependence, and transgressions of gender role were found to be the main causes of domestic violence. Alcoholism, jealousy and masculinity linked to dominance were also mentioned as factors of violence. Domestic violence has profound consequences on women’s overall well-being. The experience of domestic violence puts women at greater risk of physical, social, mental and health problems. With regard to response to domestic violence, the study shows that some abused women are not passive victims but rather adopt active strategies to maximize their and their children safety. As economic dependence was found to be the prominent cause for domestic violence the researchers suggest the integrated interventions of stakeholders to economic empowerment of women to scale up the capabilities of women in household decision making thereby reducing the likelihood of violence in the home. Furthermore, enforcing the existing legal frameworks related to domestic violence and enacting additional responsive regulations on domestic violence is imperative to protect the victims of domestic violence.

SBCP-YOLO-R3D: Student Behavior Recognition and Visualization Framework Using Improved YOLO and R3D for Class Video
Authors: Yu Chunyan , Ding Qin , Bai Yuchen
Published: February 2025

Real-time recognition and visualization of students' behaviors in face-to-face classrooms serve as pivotal indicators of learning engagement. However, current methods exhibit limitations in both real-time performance and accuracy. Additionally, in-depth studies have not been extensively conducted to evaluate learning status more conveniently by utilizing computer vision techniques. To address these issues, a novel Student Behavior Recognition and Dynamic Class Portraits Construction framework, named SBCP-YOLO-R3D, incorporating the StB-YOLO and R3D methods, has been proposed to detect student behaviors and construct class portraits. The developed framework comprises two layers: the StB-YOLO detection layer and the R3D classification layer. In the StB-YOLO detection layer, the Lightweight-SEAM (LW-SEAM) is incorporated into YOLOv5 to enhance the recognition of occluded students, by capturing contextual information and enhancing occlusion-related features. Moreover, a Double-SlideLoss function is devised, employing adaptive weighting mechanisms to strike an optimal balance between simple and challenging samples. In the R3D classification layer, the results generated by StB-YOLO are then processed using R3D to produce class portraits. Experiments conducted on the StuAct and SCB-DATASET3-S datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the StB-YOLO. Compared with the baseline model, StB-YOLO increases the mAP by 3.1%.

Authors: Dewi Lestari  , Enny Agustina
Published: February 2025

This research examines the problems in handling Domestic Violence (KDRT) cases at the Women and Children Protection Unit (PPA) of the Pangkalpinang City Police, with a focus on the backlog of cases that occurred during the 2021-2023 period. This study aims to identify the factors causing the backlog of KDRT cases and analyze its implications for the performance of the PPA Unit. The research method used is empirical legal research with a qualitative approach, through in-depth interviews, document studies, and observations. The results show that the backlog of cases is caused by three main factors: the uncooperative behavior of victims, limitations in tracing perpetrators, and institutional resource constraints. The implications of the case backlog include a decrease in the effectiveness of case handling, psychological pressure on personnel, a decrease in public trust, and obstacles in inter-agency coordination. This study produces theoretical propositions in the form of "Integrated KDRT Case Management Theory" and "Integrated Case Management and Resource Optimization Theory" as solutions to address the problem of the KDRT case backlog.

A brand is a logo or symbol representing a company's identity. Brands are highly influential in attracting customers and differentiating products from competitors. A brand is considered intellectual property, allowing differentiation between similar products and services, thereby maintaining quality. Trademark laws emphasize the exclusive rights of the brand owner to use it personally or to grant permission to others. Small and Medium Sized (SMEs) play a crucial role in the Indonesian economy by creating jobs and increasing community income. This highlights the importance of branding for SMEs, especially in Medan, where SMEs significantly contribute to economic growth and development. Trademark registration for SMEs actors involves a trademark renewal process that adds to the burden due to additional costs and periodic administrative requirements. All of this makes SMEs actors reluctant to register trademarks, even though this step is crucial for protecting and strengthening their business in the market

Published: February 2025

This research examines the strengthening of the position of the Honorary Council of Election Organisers (DKPP) in the Indonesian constitutional system, focusing on the enforcement of the code of ethics after the 2024 elections. Through normative research methods and literature studies, the research found that DKPP has worked quite effectively so far and needs to be developed and maintained. DKPP has proven to be an independent institution with final and binding decisions, having an equal position with the KPU and Bawaslu in the system of checks and balances. The study reveals the urgency of transforming DKPP into an Election Court, which requires the 5th amendment of the 1945 Constitution to include DKPP in the judicial power according to article 24. Despite facing institutional, regulatory and operational challenges, the study concludes that strengthening DKPP requires a comprehensive approach and multi-stakeholder support to realise more effective and sustainable code of ethics enforcement in the Indonesian constitutional system.Keywords: DKPP, Election Code of Ethics,Constitutional System, Election Court, Election Organiser, 1945 Constitutional Amendmentio.

Public information disclosure is a key factor in building public trust and establishing good governance to ensure transparent and accountable management. This study aims to analyze the implementation of public information disclosure at PT Pelindo Regional 1 in accordance with Law No. 14 of 2008 on Public Information Disclosure, applicable board regulations, and established public information service guidelines. This research employs a normative legal method, focusing on analyzing relevant legislation, complemented by an empirical approach to collect and examine data related to the implementation of public information disclosure at PT Pelindo Regional 1. Data collection techniques include interviews with relevant stakeholders within the company to gain insights into the practical implementation of public information disclosure. The findings reveal that although PT Pelindo Regional 1 has made efforts to fulfill its public information disclosure obligations, challenges remain in delivering information to the public, particularly in terms of public awareness regarding their rights to access information. The study also identifies the categories of information disclosed to the public and information exempted from public disclosure, highlighting the limitations imposed on public access to certain information. Based on these findings, the study provides recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of public information disclosure at PT Pelindo, including increasing public awareness campaigns and strengthening existing public information systems.
