PESANTREN DAN PEMBAHARUANNYA (MODERNISASI PESANTREN) : ARAH DAN IMPLIKASI
Authors: Santoso Budi , Sabri Yuli , Rahmat
Published: August 2024

Tulisan   ini   bermaksud   untuk   mengeksplorasikan   dan   memetakan   tentang pendidikan Islam, namun memfokuskan kajian pada lembaga pendidikan Islam informal, pesantren. sebagai   bagian   yang   tidak   terpisahkan   dengan pendidikan nasional telah diakui perannya sebagai agen perubahan sosial. Karenanya, ia dituntut untuk terus memainkan perannya secara proaktif dan dinamis. Kehadirannya diharapkan terus menjadi cahaya pencerah, membawa   perubahan,   sekaligus   memberi   kontribusi   berarti   bagi perbaikan kehidupan seluruh umat manusia pada umumnya dan umat Islam khususnya. Namun,seiring dengan perkembangan zaman, lebih- lebih di era globalisasi seperti sekarang ini,  pesantren kini menghadapi masalah-masalah (akibat dampak globalisasi) yang tidak kunjung selesai bahkan hingga membenang kusut. Akibatnya, pesantren kini dipandang oleh banyak kalangan (baik dari pengelola pendidikan Islam itu sendiri maupun masyarakat luas) sebagai pendidikan kelas dua (second class). Karena itu, agar pesantren mampu terus memainkan perannya dengan baik, yakni menjadi produsen yang menghasilkan manusia-manusia yang berilmu, berteknologi, berketerampilan tinggi, dan sekaligus beriman dan beramal  saleh,  ia  harus  dimodernisasi  secara  serius  sesuai  dengan kerangka modernitas. Sebab, mempertahankan pemikiran kelembagaan Islam “tradisional” hanya      akan memperpanjang nestapa ketidakberdayaan kaum muslim dalam  berhadapan  dengan  kemajuan dunia modern

The aim of the research was to experimentally determine the relation-ship between the type and content of the blowing agent and the properties of in-jection moldings made of polyamide 6 containing 30 wt.%. of short glass fibers. The experiment was carried out using a standard injection molding machine equipped with peripheral devices. Expancel 950 MB 80 and PLASTRON NUC C20-N chemical blowing agents were used as a modifier of the polyamide matrix. Based on conducted tests, it was shown that both the amount and type of the blowing agent play an important role in the properties of the tested moldings. It was found that increasing the amount of blowing agents dosed to the PA6 GF30 caused the weight reduction of the moldings and decrease of their tensile strength. A reduction in the modulus of elasticity of foamed polyamide moldings was also observed compared to the solid molded parts. It has also been shown that the impact strength of the PA6 GF30 composite changes depending on the type and amount of the blowing agent used.

Aligning Beliefs with Action: A Study of Esl Teachers' Beliefs on Fostering Learner Autonomy
Authors: Saad Sharina , Abdullah Amelia , Tambunan Anna Riana Suryanti
Published: August 2024

Learner autonomy, where students take charge of their learning, is a growing focus in language education. However, research suggests a gap exists between teachers' belief in learner autonomy and their actual classroom practices. This study, conducted at a public Malaysian university, investigates this disconnect by exploring how ESL teachers perceive learner autonomy and how those beliefs translate into action. Using a mixed methods approach, the research first employed surveys to examine the correlation between teachers' beliefs and their reported use of autonomy-fostering practices. In-depth interviews then provided richer insights into the experiences and challenges teachers face in implementing such practices. The findings revealed a positive correlation - teachers with stronger beliefs were more likely to report using autonomy-fostering methods. However, interviews highlighted the complexities of implementing learner autonomy, revealing both potential benefits and practical challenges. This study underscores the need for targeted professional development programs that bridge the gap between teachers' beliefs and effective classroom strategies. By equipping teachers with practical tools and addressing implementation challenges, such programs can empower them to cultivate truly autonomous learners.

Published: August 2024

Education is a basic right for every individual to develop his potential as a cultured and democratic human being. However, the higher cost of education makes access to education more difficult for people in the middle and lower economic classes. Therefore, education financing is very important in providing a fair opportunity for every individual to get a quality education.
The purpose of this research is to find out the Education Funding Inclusion Policy that is equitable with the length of years of education and has a relationship with people's welfare. Where is the force of attraction between the two poles. Previous research only compared the rate of additional years of education with poverty across countries.
This research method explores secondary data collected through library research which is carried out by searching relevant literature books and secondary data obtained and processed from BPS and World Bank data. And there are 27 districts/cities in Indonesia that were surveyed.
The conclusion of this paper is that the Education Funding Inclusion Policy will encourage economic growth and people's welfare. Because every economic growth will create additional jobs. Referring to the concept of Newton's Law of Attraction where there is a strong attraction between fair education funding (pro-fund), with the addition of years of education (pro-education), then between two periods there will be an attractive force of attraction between one object and another and if the distance the closer it is, the greater the force of attraction, thus producing a driving force for people's welfare

Published: August 2024

For inclusive education to be a success, in-service teachers need to be thoroughly trained. learning and professional development programmes have been initiated across the globe including South Africa to prepare teachers. Workshops are well-known training methods in inclusive education. Surprisingly, despite their existence, literature points out that there’s still an inadequacy of teacher training. This complaint makes one question the efficacy of the workshops. To this end, this study explored the efficacy of workshops on Inclusive Education (IE) for Foundation Phase (FP) teachers in the Capricorn District of Limpopo Province. To achieve this, the case-study design in qualitative research was used. A purposive sampling strategy was used to sample 11 FP teachers from three ordinary schools. Data was collected through document reviews, in-depth interviews, and a focus group interview. The data was analysed through the thematic analysis method. The analysis revealed that according to teachers the workshops are not effective, for the following reasons: (i) the workshops only provide a theory that does not match the reality of the schools; (ii) the workshops are too short and not sufficiently informative; (iii) through teacher agency, teachers improvise to achieve IE. These findings suggest that IE workshops do get implemented in South African schools, however, their efficacy is questionable. Therefore, a proper model for the workshops that will be considerate of the schools’ context should be devised. This study may inform policy makers workshop facilitators, and researchers about what is working and what is not working regarding inclusion workshops.

Assessment of smart growth indicators progress in EU: cohesion approach
Authors: Kozlovskij Viktor
Published: August 2024

Smart Growth, a concept present since the inception of the European Union, has grown in significance with each subsequent programming period. Eventually, it solidified as a pivotal strategy for Europe2020. Post-2020, it has evolved into the Smart Specialization Strategy (S3) for the period 2021–2027, and discussions now include the S4+ strategy, focusing on smart specialization strategies for sustainable and inclusive growth. This study aims to evaluate the cohesion level of smart growth indicators and their temporal development among EU member states, examining three key indicators: employment, tertiary education, and gross expenses on R&D (GERD) within the timeframe of 2010–2022. The findings reveal a consistent long-term trend of growth in the cohesion level of these indicators among EU member states, indicating a noteworthy convergence. Particularly in employment, the indicators demonstrate striking similarities across all countries, reflecting the highest level of cohesion within the EU. Conversely, in the case of GERD, the most substantial variations among EU countries are observed. These results underscore the success of Smart Growth initiatives in fostering convergence across EU member states, especially in terms of employment. However, challenges persist, particularly in achieving cohesion in research and development investments. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for shaping effective policies to sustain and enhance smart growth strategies in the ever-evolving European landscape.
(In)effective communication about social responsibility? Examining large european businesses in the Czech Republic
Authors: Macgregor Pelikanova Radka , Nesbitt Todd , Balcerzak Adam P. , Oulehla Jiri
Published: August 2024

Purpose – Businesses are expected to be socially responsible by engaging in Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and even the Creation of shared values (CSV). The aim of this contribution is to critically explore whether large European businesses operating in Czechia, recognized as social responsibility leaders, effectively communicate CSR as opposed to their competitors.
Research methodology – A case study with three stages was conducted. First, 35 large European businesses were identified, which repeatedly ranked among the TOP 25 Czech companies with the highest social responsibility BpS synthetic index, and their 15 competitors. Second, an Internet search and content analysis of Websites of these 50 companies was performed to categorize and assess how they report about their socially responsible behaviors. Third, leading Czech disinformation websites were examined for evidence of tacit cooperation with the disinformation scene in the form of support via advertising.
Findings – The study revealed that large European businesses, recognized as social responsibility leaders, communicate extensively about their social responsibility. However, the effectiveness of such communications is controversial. In addition, a significant part of these businesses were found to be tacitly associated with disinformation platforms, which are completely at odds with with basic social responsibility concepts.
Research limitations – The qualitative nature of the case study does not allow direct generalizations.
Practical implications – The visualization of the juxtaposed results via comparative and complementary tables leads to pioneering propositions about the interest and lack of maturity regarding social responsibility, very diverse degrees of effectiveness of the communications, and even several alleged leaders failing in their efforts.
Originality/Value – It is the first study to compare CSR communications by alleged white sheep and black sheep, while having consistency tested by association with disinformation websites. The generated propositions call for further longitudinal and multi-jurisdiction studies to verify and enhance the awareness about efficient, effective, mature and consistent social responsibility in the EU.

TaxonWorks provides tools designed to facilitate data migration, management, validation, and packaging for exports, such as Darwin Core-Archives (DwC-A) and Catalogue of Life Data Package (CoL-DP) formats.

While TaxonWorks offers batch upload functionality, the intricate nature of the Systema Dipterorum database necessitated specialized handling, i.e., a custom migration script. A TaxonWorks version of Systema Dipterorum is now accessible for preview and validation. This preview is particularly valuable for nomenclature validation, as TaxonWorks includes many tools ensuring compliance with the rules of Zoological Nomenclature (International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature 1999). Additionally, this preview version now directly feeds the pipeline serving Systema Dipterorum to the Catalogue of Life.

By migrating Systema Dipterorum into TaxonWorks, a wide range of utilities expanding the decades of effort behind the data are unlocked. TaxonWorks enables the creation of paper-style catalogs and the sharing of data via its public interface, TaxonPages. A test version of Systema Dipterorum stored in TaxonWorks and rendered with TaxonPages is now available on-line (Evenhuis and Pape 2024b). The data are also accessible via a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) API, enabling computing (e.g., scripted synonymy queries) against the TaxonWorks dataset. Complexity and diversity of the data are illustrated in Fig. 1. While many technical hurdles are resolved, major challenges remain in building a new community around Systema Dipterorum, one that will collectively take over the efforts of the few curators who have worked for so long on this broadly used resource.

Published: August 2024

A new species of the firmoss from China, Huperzia crassifolia sp. nov., is described and illustrated based on morphological characters and molecular evidence. The new species resembles species associated with the H. javanica complex, in particular H. javanica based on leaf shape and serrations, but can be easily distinguished by elliptic lanceolate and thick coriaceous leaves, well differentiated seasonal constriction zones, and reflexed leaf margins when get dried. Phylogenomic reconstruction using whole chloroplast genome sequences recovered H. crassifolia as sister to H. sutchueniana and only distantly related to morphological similar species H. javanica, H. nanlingensis, and H. serrata. The genome size 2C = 17.2 pg indicated the new species to be a tetraploid, whereas diploid H. javanica had a genome size of 8.7 pg. Morphological characters, distribution, and conservation status of the new species are also presented.

Purpose:

Despite the importance of measuring delirium severity in patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), no validated instrument currently exists. Our goal was to generate items for use in such an instrument.

Method:

An interdisciplinary expert panel developed items to assess seven domains and 21 subdomains of delirium severity. Nursing experts provided input on items.

Results:

Experts achieved consensus on 21 items, including best respondents for each item, and appropriate look-back periods. Nursing experts emphasized the need for educating nursing staff and obtaining information from caregivers.

Conclusion:

Careful, nuanced identification of distinguishing features is key for generating items for measuring delirium severity in persons with ADRD. Once developed, engaging nurses will be essential to facilitate adoption and relevance of the tool. [

Cardiorespiratory Fitness Assessment for Exercise Research in Mild Cognitive Impairment Due to Alzheimer's Disease
Authors: Yu Fang , Salisbury Dereck , Lin Feng Vankee
Published: August 2024

Purpose:

To analyze cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) levels using the gold-standard, laboratory-based cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) in community-dwelling older adults (
N
= 145) with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), specifically CPET feasibility, CRF prediction, and CRF status in comparison to published sedentary, cognitively normal, age- and sex-adjusted normative data.

Method:

Peak oxygen consumption (VO
2Peak
[mL/kg/min]) was assessed by CPET, which was categorized as submaximal, near-maximal, or maximal tests. VO
2Max
predicted was compared to VO
2Max
measured to assess its utility. Data were analyzed with
t
tests.

Results:

Participants' mean age was 73.77 years (
SD
= 5.74 years), with 51.7% males, 91.7% Caucasian, 68.3% married, and 16.9 years (
SD
= 2.88 years) of education. Mean VO
2Peak
measured was 17.07 (
SD
= 4.92) for the total sample (18.29 [
SD
= 4.64] for males, 15.78 [
SD
= 4.91] for females). Sixteen (11.03%) CPETs were submaximal, 53 (36.55%) were near-maximal, and 76 (52.41%) were maximal. Mean VO
2Max
predicted was 28.59 (
SD
= 21.94) for the total sample (29.36 [
SD
= 22.3] for males, 27.76 [
SD
= 21.68] for females) and was significantly higher than VO
2Max
measured (
p
< 0.0001). Among participants with maximal CPETs, VO
2Peak
measured was significantly lower than sedentary normative data (
p
< 0.0001).

Conclusion:

CPET was feasible for older adults with aMCI. VO
2Max
predicted overly inflates CRF estimates. Low levels of CRF in older adults with aMCI suggest aerobic exercise as an important intervention. [

It's Not Me I See
Authors: Wynne Taylor C. J.
Published: August 2024

This chapter explores the context and lived experiences of four Black women graduate students at The University of Florida and how the lack of Black women represented in institutional leadership roles and faulty roles have impacted their matriculation throughout graduate school. Topics within this chapter closely examine categories including the systemic scarcity of Black women working in higher education, culturally responsive mentorship, three semi-structured interviews of current Black women graduate students, and implications for future consideration. This chapter will identify oppressive institutional assumptions about Black women in the academy that has contributed to an educational culture of disinvestment for Black women graduate students, faculty, staff, and senior-level leadership. The purpose of this chapter is to interrogate a system that has intentionally lessened the number of representation amongst Black women working in higher education due to factors relating to burnout, isolation, insufficient pay, racial battle fatigue, and chronic stress.
The Price of a Token
Authors: Turner Chinyere
Published: August 2024

Tokenism is the practice of making only a perfunctory or symbolic effort to do a particular thing, especially by recruiting a small number of people from underrepresented groups to give the appearance of equality within a workforce. Tokenism has always been a point of contention in diversity and inclusion conversations, mainly because tokenism can affect those of any marginalized community. However, tokenism through the lenses of professional Black women has not been explored as thoroughly. “The Price of a Token” will analyze the various factors of tokenism that Black women experience in professional settings and the price they unwillingly must pay in being assigned a token.
Carbon Tax Strategies
Authors: Chenge Andrew Aondohemba
Published: August 2024

This study examines the impact of carbon taxation on reducing emissions during the transition to renewable energy. As global climate change accelerates due to rising carbon dioxide levels, nations have implemented aggressive climate policies over recent decades. Carbon taxes are widely recognized as effective economic tools for cutting emissions. This research identifies 53 countries currently using carbon taxes. However, most nations aim to reduce rather than eliminate carbon emissions, influenced by economic behaviors and profits in carbon-intensive extractive industries. To enhance the effectiveness of carbon taxes, the author recommends making their benefits more apparent, eliminating solution-aversion, and increasing transparency. These measures could strengthen global efforts towards renewable energy transitions.
Disaggregated Environmental Taxes on Energy Intensity

Published: August 2024

This study examines the impact of various environmental taxes on energy intensity using panel data from 20 European countries and 17 Sub-Saharan African countries for the period 2000-2019. The autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL) was used to analyze both the long-term and short-term effects, employing a Pool Mean Group estimator. Results indicate that the influence of disaggregated environmental taxes, specifically air pollution taxes and climate change taxes, on energy intensity is not always consistent across different regions. The findings highlight that the effects vary based on income groups and time periods. These results suggest that policymakers need to tailor environmental tax policies to the unique economic and temporal contexts of each region, balancing the goals of economic growth and environmental sustainability.

Authors: Baydili Irem Tanyıldızı
Published: August 2024

Conflict is a frequently encountered and effectively managed phenomenon within organizations. Conflicts arise in organizations due to differences, disagreements, incongruities, and overlapping demands, etc. The conflicts that emerge within organizations vary depending on the parties involved, the nature of the conflict, and its origins. Intra-group conflicts within organizations stem from disagreements among individuals within a group, whereas inter-group conflicts arise from conflicting interests among different groups. It is essential for both employees and managers to address and resolve conflicts in organizations, as this contributes to the organization's sustainability. This chapter examines the types of conflicts that arise within or between groups in organizations, their causes, conflict management, conflict resolution strategies, and methods.
The Role of Social Identity in Conflict and in Peacebuilding
Authors: Crooks Sharon A.
Published: August 2024

Crooks takes Northern Ireland as an example of a deeply divided society and identifies some of the structural and psychological conditions that can perpetuate conflict even after a peace agreement has been signed. The author illustrates how leaders and community influencers, drawing on theories about social identity, group behaviour, and social change could lead and support their communities to encounter each other in safe spaces, engage in dialogue, address negative biases, and develop mutually harmonious relationships.
