Published: August 2024

The demise of apartheid in 1994 was heralded nationally and internationally as a victory for democracy and human rights. It offered unique opportunities and responsibilities to reconstruct a fragmented and deeply discriminatory education system, and establish a unified national system underpinned by democracy, equity, redress, transparency and participation (Sibiya, 2001:1). The dawn of democracy placed children's education in the hands of parents so that they could reap the benefits of their own intentions and hard work on their children's education, as the government in power in the country believes that people shall govern, and indeed, parents govern in this aspect of education (Maluleke, Cassim & Karodia, 2016:1). During apartheid education was centralized and parents never participated in how their children should be taught unlike under democracy whereby parents have got huge say in the education of their children as they control school finances through the delegation authority invested upon the principal by school governing body unlike before whereby the principal was responsible with everything to an extent that he or she would choose even one school committee member they wish to work with on behalf of all parents. The social reconstruction had to be linked to economic development in the next context of global economies and internalization. The dual goals are captured in the mission statement of the Department of education: “Our vision is of a South Africa in which all people have equal access to lifelong education and training opportunities which will contribute towards improving the quality of life and build a peaceful, prosperous and democratic society (DOE, 1996). This study explores how far the governors could handle school finances at this particular moment as the law dictates that they have to be in charge of school finances in order to ensure that schools provide quality learning and teaching unlike during apartheid wherein the school finances were known only by the principal and the department.

Published: August 2024

Acute spinal cord injury (ASCI) refers to the symptoms of sensory, motor dysfunction and defecation disorder in the parts below the level of spinal cord injury after the spinal cord is injured by various factors, which seriously affects the quality of life of the patient. ASCI is a common severe disabling disease in the field of neuroscience. Although the clinical treatment of spinal cord injury has made great progress, compared with the development of theoretical research, its clinical research progress is still insufficient. The most commonly used treatment methods at this stage are surgery and high-dose hormone pulse therapy. According to recent studies, the technology of in situ regeneration of neurons has received widespread attention and development due to its unique advantages of avoiding immune rejection of exogenous cell transplantation, risk of tumor formation, and in situ transformation of scar glial cells into neurons is expected to become a new therapeutic intervention for spinal cord injury.

Authors: Suwarno Suwarno , Fitria Fitria , Azhar Rudi
Published: August 2024

This study explores the strategic framework for aligning human resource (HR) investments with financial objectives and broader business goals to enhance organizational performance. Through a qualitative literature review, this research synthesizes existing literature to understand the dynamics between strategic HR management, financial planning, and organizational outcomes, thereby elucidating how strategic alignment can optimize budget allocation in HR. The research methodology encompasses a comprehensive review of scholarly articles, foundational texts, and empirical studies related to strategic human resource management (SHRM). The focus is on how integration of HR functions with organizational strategies can contribute to enhanced financial performance and competitive advantage. By examining studies from the past three decades, this review highlights how effectively aligned HR practices support not only immediate operational goals but also long-term strategic objectives. Findings indicate that organizations demonstrating a high degree of strategic alignment in HR practices, such as recruitment, training, and compensation, see improved financial outcomes and organizational agility. The study reveals that investments in HR are most effective when meticulously aligned with an organization's strategic vision, emphasizing the importance of a dual approach where HR not only supports but actively drives strategic decisions. Furthermore, the integration of advanced analytics and technology in HR processes emerges as a significant enhancer of this alignment, enabling more precise decision-making and real-time adjustments in strategy. This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing a detailed analysis of the mechanisms through which strategic HR alignment impacts organizational performance and by proposing a framework for organizations to optimize their HR budget allocation in line with strategic goals.

Authors: Azizah Widyaningsih , Fujianti Lailah
Published: August 2024

Green accounting and earnings management are two concepts in accounting that have different focuses but can be interrelated in corporate practice. This study was conducted to determine the effect of green accounting implementation on earnings management before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research population consists of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2019–2021. The research sample consisted of 159 companies selected through a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out through regression analysis methods, paired sample t-tests, and the McNemar test. The results showed that there were differences in earnings management practices in the period before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, green accounting practices before and during the COVID-19 pandemic showed no difference and had no significant effect on earnings management in that period. Significant profitability during the pandemic seems to be more dominant in influencing earnings management than green accounting practices.

Published: August 2024

Background: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is one of the leading causes of heel discomfort worldwide. There is no definitive treatment available for PF; however, two primary therapies are under investigation: Local injection of either corticosteroids or platelet-rich plasma (PRP). There are disagreements regarding the precise and effective dosage of these therapeutic approaches and their superiority over each other. Objectives: This study was conducted to compare the effects of corticosteroids and PRP in the treatment of PF. Methods: In this single-center clinical trial, 30 patients were divided into two groups (PRP vs. corticosteroids), with 15 patients in each group. In addition to receiving medication treatment, participants were given daily exercise regimens. The PRP group had a mean age of 44.07 ± 8.21 years, while the corticosteroid group had a mean age of 44 ± 9.85 years. The efficacy of these interventions was assessed primarily using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), the Roles and Maudsley score (RM), and the Foot and Ankle Disability Index (FADI). Results: Over a 3-month period, the NPRS decreased in the corticosteroid group from 7.07 ± 0.95 to 3.69 ± 1.43, and in the PRP group from 7.76 ± 0.92 to 3 ± 1.68 (P < 0.001). The FADI improved in the corticosteroid group from 54.84 ± 8.33 to 75.76 ± 11.96, and in the PRP group from 49.3 ± 10.11 to 78.15 ± 16.76 (P < 0.001). Plantar fascia thickness decreased in the corticosteroid group from 5.03 ± 0.62 to 4.51 ± 0.59, and in the PRP group from 5.43 ± 0.91 to 4.38 ± 1.04 (P < 0.001). The results indicated that both groups demonstrated significant improvement in the first three months. Although the PRP group showed greater improvement than the corticosteroid group after three months, the differences between the two groups were not statistically significant. Conclusions: Our results showed that the effects of corticosteroid injections subside after one month, whereas PRP has more stable effects over time.

Authors: Schmalz Gerhard , Kreher Deborah , Ziebolz Dirk , Strauss Maria , Buechi Stefan
Published: August 2024

Background: Reflection on both student and teacher perspectives is crucial for effective communication and professional relationships during education. Objectives: This observational cohort study aimed to compare students' self-assessment with teacher assessments, as well as with estimated self-assessment and estimated teacher-assessment, using the pictorial representation of illness and self-measure (PRISM) during an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). Additionally, it sought to compare self-assessment and teacher-assessment with OSCE scores. Methods: Fourth-year dental students (n = 44) were included at the beginning of their clinical course. Three tasks were selected for the OSCE exams: Oral examination on a model (task 1), matrix placement (task 2), and endodontic radiograph evaluation (task 3). Objective structured clinical examination scores were rated by an independent rater. Students and one of three calibrated teachers used PRISM to evaluate their respective assessments independently and blinded from each other. The relationships between the different assessments were determined using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: For task 1, a moderate correlation was found between students' self-assessment and estimated self-assessment (r = 0.44, P < 0.01). For task 2, moderate correlations were observed between self-assessment and teacher-assessment, estimated teacher-assessment and teacher-assessment, as well as between self-assessment and estimated self-assessment (P ≤ 0.01). For task 3, moderate correlations were found between self-assessment and teacher-assessment, and between self-assessment and estimated self-assessment (P < 0.01). A moderate negative correlation between self-assessment and the OSCE score was observed only for task 2 (r = -0.41, P = 0.01). Moderate negative correlations between teacher-assessment in PRISM and the OSCE score were found for all three tasks (P < 0.01). Conclusions: Self-assessment and teacher-assessment using PRISM exhibited task-dependent correlations, while results for estimated assessments varied. PRISM may serve as a promising tool for feedback and discussion in the future, as it seems capable of highlighting different views and expectations in the teaching context. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Electro-gravity entanglement
Authors: Moreno Jose
Published: August 2024

One fundamental question is the connection between electrical and gravitational forces. We present a quantum entanglement model, with multiple discrete electrically charged wave-packets, that simulates gravitational attraction among them, where quantum states can have only two wave-packets with opposite charge polarities, with equal absolute values, while the rest remain neutral, relating those charges to gravitational masses. We present a thought experiment where neutrons are displaced by electric fields above the Schwinger limit, predicting their maximum possible corresponding displacement magnitudes and diminishments in their gravitational masses (with increments elsewhere), estimating an upper bound for the gravitational mass of each of those entangled wave packets allegedly constituting those neutrons. Thus, the realization of the experiment could verify the predictions, but cannot necessarily falsify the model. The model's significance rests in hypothesizing entanglements in a classical mechanical property without violating the measurement independence postulate and in its possible applications for gravity simulations with quantum systems.

Published: August 2024

As a part of research activities focused on rodent helminth fauna in Serbia, over the previous decade, we registered the presence of a species with zoonotic potential, Moniliformis moniliformis, an acanthocephalan (or spiny-headed worm) intestinal parasite that primarily infects rats, mice, and voles. The adult form of the species M. moniliformis was found in the small intestine of a single striped field mouse (Apodemus agrarius) from Cer Mountain, and two individuals of the yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis) from the localities of Donji Milanovac and Senokos. Another species of Acanthocephala, reported in earlier studies of Spermophilus citellus in Serbia, is Macracanthorhynchus hirudinaceus, which also has zoonotic potential. Data on human infection with the acanthocephalans are scarce worldwide, including Serbia, but they should not be ignored.
Institutionalization of rights and responsibilities of the opposition in parliament: A comparative European perspective
Authors: Pásztor Bálint
Published: August 2024

The subject of this study is an analysis of different normative solutions and degrees of institutionalization of the role of the opposition in parliaments across a number of European states, ranging from stipulation in the parliamentary rules of procedure to formal recognition of the opposition in the constitution of the state. Balance of the parliamentary political power as well as acknowledgement of the legitimate role of opposition ensures prerequisites for democratic social dialogue and active participation of responsible citizens in the processes of strengthening institutions of representative democracy. Therefore, only consensual political culture contributes to the political trust that citizens place in political institutions. Although there is no universally adopted model that defines the role of the parliamentary majority and opposition, it is undeniable that the post-democracy era requires a redefinition of basic concepts, such as parliamentary majority and opposition, as well as the role of parliament. The scope of the analysis is limited to a comparative overview of constitutional solutions that guarantee the rights of the opposition and the legal framework regulating the part of the rights of parliamentary opposition, which are realized in the process of creating policies. The aim of the paper is to strengthen mechanisms of parliamentary democracy and, in particular, to strengthen trust in the work of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, as only through the effective implementation of European experiences can public trust be built and standards of political culture be improved. Methodologically, the comparative approach is complemented by the analysis of comments and interpretations of constitutional acts, laws, rules of procedure, as well as recommendations of the Venice Commission.
Determinants of effective tax rates of public enterprises as an indication of tax avoidance on profit tax
Authors: Knežević Goranka , Ristanović Vladimir , Pavlović Vladan
Published: August 2024

Scientific research related to the avoidance of calculation and payment of profit tax in public enterprises is very rare, due to the belief that public enterprises do not avoid paying profit tax because their owner is the state, city, or local government unit. The research conducted in this paper has shown that the largest public enterprises in Serbia, which have a high profitability rate, as well as capital-intensive enterprises, have a higher effective tax rate and do not use tax planning techniques to avoid taxes. These findings can be considered scientifically adequate. All other determinants used in this paper did not show a statistically significant impact on the effective tax rate. When deciding and implementing the profit tax rate policy, as well as tax exemptions, the state must take into account the specificities of the operations of public enterprises and assess the effects of these policies on this sector of the economy.

Published: August 2024

Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law prohibits retaliation against whistleblowers, particularly in the form of coercion, intimidation, discrimination, unfavorable or unjust treatment. This potential of relation to EU antidiscrimination legislation is not entirely clear. The current limited judicial practice from the Czech Republic still lacks clear answers. The aim of this paper is to assess and analyze the relationship between EU legislation on whistleblower protection and anti-discrimination legislation.

Praise between Al-Musayyab Ibn Alas and Rudaki Samarqandi: A comparative study
Authors: Shemous Buthaina
Published: August 2024

Praise is one of the poetic purposes that poets have paid most attention to. It is believed that praise is the basis of other poetic purposes, hence poets and researchers in various cultures, such as Arabic and Persian, have given it their attention. Among those illustrious names who dealt with praise as a primary purpose in poetry are the Arab poet Al-Musayyab Ibn Alas and the Persian poet Rudaki Samarqandi. Using a descriptive analytical approach, this article attempts to compare praise between these poets and discover the similarities and the differences between their poetry. The study concludes that the issue of profiteering from poetry, which is related to the personality of the poet, was present in the minds of both, in addition to the presence of other motives related to the personality of the praised. The two poets focused on highlighting the image of the praised and ignored everyone else except while he serves to highlight the qualities of the latter. Rudaki, for instance, praised the moral and physical qualities of the praiseworthy, in contrast to Al-Musayyab, who paid attention only to his moral qualities. The image of the praised, however, was overshadowed by the actual reason for praise; be it a reward or a genuine admiration for the praised. The present article in this sense is an attempt to highlight a very prominent characteristic of old poetry.

Developing students' divergent thinking abilities is an educational imperative for nurturing 21st century skills. Geography education lends itself well to embedding divergent thinking pedagogies by examining interconnected human-environment systems through varied spatial and cultural lenses. This study experimentally evaluated the efficacy of integrating structured probing question interventions to foster divergent thinking in secondary-level geography education. By using the experimental design, participants were 60 students divided into an experimental group receiving probing question training over nine sessions, and a control group receiving standard geography instruction. The experimental group demonstrated significantly higher divergent thinking scores across all components compared to controls at post-test. These improvements were maintained at follow-up, underscoring the durability of the probing intervention's effects. Findings empirically validate structured probing techniques as a promising pedagogical approach for purposefully cultivating flexible reasoning, creative ideation, and innovative geographic problem-solving capacities. This study contributes an empirically-grounded divergent thinking instructional framework that can empower students' abilities as engaged global citizens adept at grappling with the complexities of our interconnected world. This study pioneers an empirically-grounded instructional framework for purposefully cultivating divergent thinking skills through structured probing question within geography education. The findings contribute to the scholarly discourse on evidence-based strategies for nurturing essential 21st century competencies across the curriculum.
