Günümüzde çocuk yoksulluğu ve çocuk işçiliğine ilişkin farkındalık ve mücadele çalışmaları artmış olmasına karşın, sorunun kökten çözümüne ilişkin yeterli gelişme bulunmamaktadır. Bu noktada STK’ların bu konudaki görüş ve önerilerinin öğrenilmesinin önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu bilgiler ışığında bu araştırmanın problemi; çocuk yoksulluğu ve çocuk işçiliği alanında çalışan STK’ların çocuk yoksulluğunu ve çocuk işçiliğini önlemedeki rolünün ve bu sorunların çözümüne ilişkin görüş ve önerilerinin öğrenilmesinin gerekli görülmesi ve literatürde bu konuya ilişkin güncel araştırmaların sınırlı sayıda olduğunun fark edilmesidir. Bu araştırmanın genel amacı; çocuk yoksulluğu ve çocuk işçiliği alanında çalışan STK’ların çocuk işçiliğini ve çocuk yoksulluğunu önlemedeki rolü ve sorunun çözümüne ilişkin görüş ve önerilerinin öğrenilmesidir. Araştırmada STK’ların çocuk işçiliği konusundaki bakış açısı ve deneyimleri ele alındığından nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden fenomenolojik yaklaşım kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılara ‘kartopu örnekleme’ yöntemi ile ulaşılmıştır. Derinlemesine görüşmeler 25 özne ile tamamlanmış, görüşmeler ses kayıt cihazı ile kaydedilerek deşifre edilmiştir. Deşifre edilen veriler betimsel analize tabi tutulmuştur. Bu araştırma kapsamında toplam 5 ana tema ve ana temaların altında çeşitli alt temalara ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmanın ana temaları şöyledir: STK’ların çocuk yoksulluğu ve çocuk işçiliğinin sebeplerine ilişkin değerlendirmeleri, STK’ların çocuk yoksulluğu ve çocuk işçiliğinin yol açtığı problemlere ilişkin değerlendirmeleri, STK’ların çocuk yoksulluğu ve çocuk işçiliği alanlarındaki faaliyetleri, STK’ların karşılaştıkları güçlüklere ilişkin bulgular ve STK’ların çocuk işçiliği ve yoksulluğu sorununun çözümüne ilişkin önerileridir. Uzun yıllar egemen olan merkezi yönetim anlayışındaki dönüşümün yeni olması ve STK’ların sosyal sorunların çözümü noktasındaki rolünün öneminin anlaşılmasının yakın geçmişe dayanması nedeniyle bu alanda hizmet veren STK’ların bu konulara ilişkin değerlendirmelerini ve önerilerini içeren araştırmaların sınırlı sayıda olduğu görülmüştür. Bu çalışmanın literatürdeki bu açığı kapatma yönünde katkı vereceği ve çocuk yoksulluğu ve çocuk işçiliği sorunları ile mücadeleye yönelik bir bakış açısı kazandıracağı düşünülmektedir.

This research aims to analyze the influence of the quality of Posyandu services and maternal knowledge on attitudes and their implications for maternal participation behavior in bringing toddlers to Posyandu in the working area of UPTD Puskesmas Sukaraja, Sukabumi Regency. This effort is crucial as part of a national program to reduce stunting rates by enhancing community participation in monitoring child growth and development. The study was conducted quantitatively using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Square (PLS) with 97 respondents, utilizing SmartPLS 3.0 software. The results indicate that the quality of Posyandu services, maternal knowledge, attitudes, and maternal participation behavior are all categorized as good. Specifically, the quality of Posyandu services significantly affects maternal attitudes but does not have a significant impact on maternal participation behavior. Conversely, maternal knowledge positively influences both attitudes and participation behavior. Additionally, maternal attitudes have a direct relationship with participation behavior. Simultaneously, the quality of Posyandu services and maternal knowledge exert a moderate influence on attitudes and a strong influence on maternal participation behavior. In indirect analysis, it was found that the quality of Posyandu services does not affect participation behavior through maternal attitudes, while maternal knowledge has a significant impact through these attitudes. These findings underscore the importance of enhancing maternal knowledge as a primary strategy to encourage active participation in Posyandu. Furthermore, improvements in Posyandu service quality, particularly regarding physical and operational aspects, are necessary to maintain and enhance community trust. The recommendations from this study are expected to serve as a reference for policymakers in designing more effective interventions aimed at reducing stunting rates.

Leadership competence is crucial for the success of schools and the achievement of educational outcomes, requiring leaders to navigate complex administrative and instructional demands. This study investigated the relationship between sociocultural-political influences, grit, and leadership competence among school leaders in the Division of Valencia City during the second quarter of the school year 2024-2025. Using a descriptive-correlational design, data were collected from 115 school leaders through validated instruments, including the Sociocultural-Political Influence Scale, the Grit Scale, and the Leadership Competence Inventory.

The findings revealed that sociocultural-political influences significantly shaped leadership practices, with social influences, cultural cohesion, and political dynamics playing key roles. However, social influences occasionally posed challenges, requiring careful management. Grit, particularly resilience, perseverance of effort, and long-term commitment, emerged as critical traits that empower leaders to adapt and persist despite challenges. Leadership competence was high across areas such as decision-making, rapport-building, and strategic thinking, aligning closely with intrinsic grit and external sociocultural contexts. Correlation analysis confirmed that grit had the strongest positive relationship with leadership competence, followed by cultural cohesion and political influences. Resilience was identified as the strongest predictor of leadership competence, emphasizing the importance of fostering intrinsic traits to enhance effectiveness.

The study underscored the interplay between external sociocultural-political dynamics and internal resilience in shaping leadership competence. Recommendations include targeted training on sociocultural responsiveness, resilience-building workshops, professional development in strategic leadership areas, and support mechanisms for managing societal expectations. These findings contribute to the growing literature on leadership in education and highlight the need for holistic approaches to leadership development in diverse and dynamic educational environments.

Public service is all activities in order to fulfill basic needs according to the basic rights of every citizen and resident for goods, services and/or administrative services provided by service providers related to the public interest. The public as customers have needs and expectations for the performance of professional public service providers. Government apparatus in the provision of public services cannot be separated from ethical issues, because they are related to issues of good and bad. In the practice of public services in Indonesia today, the public wants an apparatus consisting of honest people, based on goodness, who can produce goodness for the benefit of the community. Apparatus in public services must be able to place public interests above personal or group interests, be willing to sacrifice, and work hard. The fundamental problem in the public service process in Indonesia is about ethics. There is no universal standard of ethics and sanctions that specifically regulate violations committed by officials in public services.

Authors: Mansor Mahaliza , Ming Goh Kok , Fuad Dayang Rafidah Syariff M.
Published: December 2024

Introduction: X, the second most popular social networking site in Malaysia, is a platform for sharing news, messages, photos, and short videos with a large audience. X generates vast amounts of data, which can be valuable for understanding online social communities and trending topics. However, there is a gap in understanding how leaders discuss and address these challenges in public discourse, particularly on digital platforms like X (formerly Twitter). Despite the growing relevance of AI in education, little is known about the key influencers driving discussions related to leadership in the AI era. This research identifies key influencers in X discussions related to leadership in the Artificial Intelligence era.

Methods: This study conducted a social network analysis and content analysis of Twitter data collected over a period (from January 1, 2023, to September 23, 2024). Influential users were examined via clusters in social network graphs. The nodes were ordered according to their betweenness centrality scores, and the graph’s vertices were clustered using the Clauset-Newman-Moore algorithm. NodeXL Pro extracted data efficiently, and public usernames were collected to map network edges. The data was then filtered and refined to ensure a detailed analysis.

Results: The findings found the ten most important X users and URLs within a network of 299 individuals. This study indicates that the network-oriented approach is essential for AI-driven leadership, facilitating the exchange of critical AI-related knowledge. However, the fragmentation of leadership networks and lack of unified vision across institutions hinder transformative AI integration in education. This study suggests that leadership roles will increasingly depend on a leader’s ability to navigate and bridge fragmented networks, ensuring that innovations in AI are shared, understood, and implemented across educational systems.

Conclusion: The study highlights the role of social networking platforms in shaping AI-driven school leadership discussions. It reveals that effective AI-driven leadership requires dynamic knowledge exchanges and a shared vision across institutions. The fragmented nature of leadership networks presents challenges, and leaders must bridge gaps, collaborate, and ensure consistent application of advancements. The study provides strategic insights for evolving school leadership to meet AI-driven demands.
Comprehension of Ambiguous Idioms in Prefrontal Cortex: Evidence from rTMS
Authors: Kurada Hazel Zeynep , Arıca Akkok Elif
Published: December 2024

The cognitive processes related to idiom comprehension have been predominantly associated with neural mechanisms and conceptual mapping processes controlled by the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). Although the role of the DLPFC in idiom comprehension has been extensively studied, ambiguous idioms—those with more than one acceptable meaning—have been relatively understudied in the neuroscientific literature. This study explores how the left and right DLPFC contribute to resolving ambiguous idioms, with a focus on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying conceptual mapping during the comprehension of such idioms. In the study, the left and right DLPFC regions of 15 native Turkish-speaking participants were temporarily inhibited using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to examine the role of prefrontal areas in the brain in resolving ambiguous idioms. Following the brain stimulation, participants engaged in an experiment that required them to interpret both literal sentences without figurative meaning and ambiguous idiomatic expressions in which all figurative interpretations were meaningful and plausible. The findings revealed that when left DLPFC was suppressed, participants' ability to accurately comprehend the figurative meanings of ambiguous idioms was significantly impaired, as evidenced by increased reaction times and decreased accuracy rates. In contrast, no significant impairment in processing ambiguous idioms was observed when the right DLPFC was suppressed. These findings suggest that the cognitive load involved in processing ambiguous idioms with multiple acceptable meanings is predominantly managed by the left hemisphere. This study provides insight into the functions of both the right and left prefrontal areas of the brain during the resolution of ambiguous linguistic units, offering further understanding of lateralization, a key phenomenon in the neuroscientific processes of language comprehension.

Published: December 2024

В ходе работы был создан пользовательский интерфейс для расчета тока обмотки статора шагового двигателя. Для его реализации была использована среда программирования LabView, состоящая из двух панелей. На лицевой панели представлен пользовательский интерфейс, а на панели блок-диаграммы находится функционал, реализующий работу пользовательского интерфейса. Такое разделение очень удобно для реализации поставленной задачи, ведь пользовательский интерфейс не перегружается расчётными данными. Более того, написание кода в виде блок схем также удобно для расчета тока обмотки статора шагового двигателя. Статор шагового двигателя состоит из нескольких пар обмоток, на которые необходимо последовательно подавать ток для перемещения ротора. Плавность вращения ротора шагового двигателя зависит от формы подаваемого сигнала, а его точность – от количества обмоток. В ходе работы с четырех фазным шаговым двигателем была выбрана форма треугольника. При ней наблюдалось наиболее плавное перемещение ротора. В созданной программе значение тока на одной из катушек выводится прямо на экран. Таким образом, созданная программа способно значительно облегчить получение данных значения тока на обмотке статора.

Investigating Transient Responses of IEEE 6 Bus Power System to Various Fault Types using PowerWorld Simulator
Authors: Öztürk Sami Melih , Çifci Ahmet
Published: December 2024

The transient analysis of power systems is essential for understanding the dynamic responses and stability under fault conditions. This paper focuses on the transient analysis of the IEEE 6 bus power system using the PowerWorld Simulator, with the primary objective of investigating the system’s behavior under various fault conditions, including three-phase balanced faults, line-to-ground faults, line-to-line faults, and double line-to-ground faults. The IEEE 6 bus system, a standardized benchmark for testing power system algorithms, provides a simplified yet effective model for examining transient phenomena. Utilizing the Power World Simulator, this study models and simulates the fault conditions to assess their impacts on key parameters such as bus voltages, generator rotor angles, and generator voltages. By conducting a series of simulations, we aim to provide a detailed characterization of the transient response of the IEEE 6 bus system under each fault scenario. The results of our analysis reveal distinct patterns of system behavior for each type of fault. Three-phase balanced faults, being the most severe, significantly disrupt the stability of the system, causing considerable deviations in voltage and phase angles. Line-to-ground faults, although less severe, still pose substantial challenges, especially in terms of voltage stability at the faulted bus. Line-to-line faults primarily affect the phase voltages, leading to asymmetrical disturbances that propagate through the network. Double line-to-ground faults, which combine characteristics of line-to-line and line-to-ground faults, exhibit complex transient dynamics that test the system’s resilience and control mechanisms. Our findings underscore the necessity for robust protective measures and control strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of these faults. The study highlights the importance of fault location, fault type, and system configuration in determining the overall stability and reliability of the power system.

This double bond is referred to as an imine (R-N=C-R). This double bond contributes to the high activity of Schiff bases, allowing for extensive research across various fields and disciplines. Neurodegenerative diseases are conditions that continuously and irreversibly affect neurons and nerve cells in the central nervous system, and they are among the leading causes of death in developed countries. Alzheimer’s disease, which is a type of neurodegenerative disease, currently has about 5 million new cases each year, and there is no definitive and complete treatment method for it. Individuals with this disease exhibit symptoms such as memory loss, inability to form new memories, and slowing of cognitive functions. Additionally, these patients show imbalances in neurotransmitters responsible for facilitating neural transmission between neurons, particularly an irreversible loss of cholinergic neurons, which are a significant part of the central nervous system. Disruption of homeostasis in the mechanisms of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and monoamine oxidase (MAO) neurotransmitters is indicated among the causes of Alzheimer’s disease. In this study; the physical, chemical and biological properties of N-(5-chloro-2-oxobenzyl)-2-hydroxy-5-methylanilinium molecule were investigated by quantum mechanical calculation methods. In support of the X-ray results, the geometrical parameters (bond lengths, and bond angles) and quantum chemical properties of the title compound were theoretically realized by the density functional theory method with B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) basis set using Gaussian 03W program. Herein, Frontier orbitals, molecular electrostatic potential surface, nonlinear optical properties, natural bond orbital analysis, Mulliken charges, and Hirshfeld surface analysis of the title compound were also calculated to explain the intermolecular interactions. Additionally, molecular docking results were performed with AChE and MAO-B enzymes obtained from the Protein Data Bank (PDB). All these studies have shown that the structure has high stability and forms a strong bond with the relevant enzymes.

Твердая пшеница ценится за свои высокие макаронно-крупяные качества. Из нее производят муку, которая отличается высоким содержанием белка (12-15%) и хорошими физико-химическими свойствами. Такая мука отлично подходит для производства макаронных изделий, вермишели, манной крупы и лучших сортов кондитерских изделий. Это обусловлено наличием в зерне твердой пшеницы большого количества клейковины, придающей готовым изделиям эластичность и упругость [1].

This study explored the lived experiences of Mothers residing in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDAs) of Butuan City, Philippines, a region with persistently high maternal mortality rates (MMR) despite the availability of birthing facilities. Utilizing the qualitative Photovoice methodology, the research empowered mothers to document and articulate their perspectives on maternal healthcare challenges and strengths within their communities. The study took place in the selected (GIDA) barangays within Butuan City, namely Brgy. Bilay and Brgy. Dulag; Thirteen Mothers participated in the study. They were women of reproductive age, between 18 and 49 years old, residents of (GIDA) barangays, had given birth within 5 years, and agreed to participate regardless of diverse socioeconomic backgrounds and educational levels. In-depth interviews and photo elicitation were used to explore barriers to accessing Basic Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (BEmONC) services. Findings indicated that mothers in GIDAs face substantial obstacles, particularly concerning transportation which impede timely access to healthcare facilities. Additionally, the reliance on untrained traditional birth attendants during childbirth further exacerbates risks. These factors collectively impact the well-being of mothers in GIDAs. By capturing the unique perspectives of these mothers, the study provides vital insights to inform community-driven interventions aimed at enhancing maternal healthcare access and outcomes in GIDAs. Ultimately, this research contributes to the formulation of strategies designed to ensure every mother and child receives essential support during childbirth, thereby improving maternal and neonatal health outcomes.

Tea along with coffee, chocolate and then sugar rewrote the human history of consumption in Europe and other parts of the world during the colonial era. Tea has been described as the most consumed substance on earth apart from air and water[1]. I situate my work on tea as part of a larger project of reading 1947 through the press. Aside from concentrating on the historically momentous events of the year, I am also looking at what are called commodities of the Raj. My point of entry into tea is advertisements in the six English language papers in five Indian cities namely – Calcutta, Bombay, Madras, New Delhi and Lahore.

In an era where traditional mentoring faces challenges such as limited mentor availability, time constraints, and high implementation costs, self-mentoring emerges as a sustainable and empowering alternative for professional development. This concept paper introduces self-mentoring as a self-directed approach that enables individuals to take control of their learning and career progression. Drawing on its origins in healthcare and academia, the paper highlights the adaptability of self-mentoring principles—self-reflection, goal-setting, resource utilization, and continuous reflection—for diverse professional contexts. The proposed framework offers a cyclical process encompassing self-assessment, goal-setting, action planning, and reflection, promoting a flexible, scalable, and inclusive model for continuous development. While self-mentoring empowers employees with autonomy and independence, it also requires high levels of self-discipline and organizational support. The paper concludes with recommendations for integrating self-mentoring into organizational development strategies and identifies avenues for future research to enhance its applicability across various industries. This model holds promise for fostering lifelong learning, resilience, and proactive career management in today’s dynamic work environments.
