Podcasting Technology in Literature Lessons: Educational and Methodological Potential
Authors:   Russian State Pedagogical University named after A. I. Herzen, Izmaylova Elizaveta
Published: December 2024

Media technologies are becoming an integral part of the modern educational process, offering new approaches to learning and interaction between students and teachers. Podcasting, as one of the most relevant
media technology formats, is a valuable addition to traditional teaching methods. In recent years, podcasts
have become an increasingly popular content format that can be effectively integrated into the learning process. The purpose of the study is to study the preferences of verbal teachers and students in relation to podcasting, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of using podcasts in literature lessons to increase the level
of student involvement in the educational process. In accordance with this, the following research methods
are used: a systematic analysis of scientific and methodological sources and the Russian Internet segment
of podcasts; an analysis of methodological research and practical experience in teaching literature; a ascertaining experiment; an analysis of one’s own work experience at school; monitoring the activities of students,
analyzing the results of their activities, diagnostic sections. In the course of an empirical study on the use of media technologies in the educational process, it is revealed that verbal teachers demonstrate a tendency to
integrate a variety of media resources, including podcasts. Currently, there is a shortage of methodological
developments on the use of podcasting in literature lessons in educational practice, in particular, concerning
the mechanisms and strategies of its application. During the second stage of the study conducted among
schoolchildren, a range of topics most interesting for teenagers in the podcast format is identified. In addition,
both advantages and disadvantages of this type of content have been identified. In the article, the author
describes examples of the use of podcasting in school literary education, as well as technological aspects
related to the creation and distribution of podcasts. The article demonstrates the methodological potential
of using podcasts by the example of integrating this tool into a literature lesson dedicated to the study of
A. P. Chekhov’s play “The Cherry Orchard” at the initial stage (settings for the perception of the text). The
author of the article also identifies promising areas for further research on this topic.

Authors:   Institute of Content and Teaching Methods, Kuznetsova Marina I.
Published: December 2024

The relevance of the article is caused by the importance of working on reading literacy as one of the
main components of functional literacy. Considerable attention in the article is paid to the analysis of the
requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard of Primary General Education for reading activity
as a subject result and to such a subgroup of universal cognitive educational activities as “working with information”. The objectives of the study are: analysis of the features of reading using the potential of digital
devices and identification of the most effective ways of forming and assessing the reading literacy of primary
schoolchildren. The main research methods are: analysis of the basic concepts of the study and scientific and
pedagogical literature, as well as generalization of empirical material. Another research method is presented
by the analysis of the tools of the international study of the quality of reading and text comprehension PIRLS
2021. In addition, a method predicting the most effective ways of the reading literacy formation of primary
school students in a situation of combining traditional and digital methods of presenting information has been
used. The most significant changes in the formation and assessment of reading literacy in primary school students include: an increase in the share of reading for the purpose of obtaining and using information, the
emergence of reading from an electronic medium, and the use of hypertexts when searching for information
on the Internet. Currently, primary schoolchildren gain experience in reading digital texts outside of school,
therefore, there is no way to mitigate the risks identified by researchers. The educational process should
include both traditional reading of paper texts and digital reading, while it is important to use the potential
of digital tools when working with information presented in different formats. Reading information texts from
the screen and searching for information in electronic resources is more consistent with the nature of digital
reading. It is especially necessary to carefully consider the methodology for introducing digital reading when
working with fiction; the main advantage is associated with various technologies for enriching vocabulary.
Technique for estimating the radiated emission of an integrated circuit in a TEM-cell under temperature exposure
Authors:   Tomsk State University of Control Systems and Radioelectronics (TUSUR), Komnatnov Maxim E.
Published: December 2024

The integrated circuits (IC) used in radioelectronic devices create electromagnetic radiation, the level of which is analyzed while ensuring electromagnetic compatibility. In realworld operating conditions, the radioelectronic devices are exposed to temperature, that affects the amplitudes and the frequencies of the radiated emission of the IC. This paper proposes a technique and an algorithm to measure the level of radiated emissions of IC at a given temperature. Using the technique, the levels of radiated emissions of the K1986VE91T microcontroller were measured in a frequency of 150 kHz – 1 GHz and the temperatures from –50 to +150 °C ranges. It is shown that at the main clocking frequency, around 80 MHz and the 2nd harmonic, the effect of temperature does not affect the level of radiated emission of the microcontroller and the change is no more than ± 0.3 dB. The operation of various microcontroller units with an increase in its temperature from minus 50 to +150 °C reduces by 5.5 dB the maximum level of radiated emission of the microcontroller in the frequency range of 8–27 MHz. The most temperaturedependent levels of radiated emission are observed up to the 6 th harmonic of the clock frequency of the microcontroller and reach 35.8 dBμV, which is 5.7 dB higher than the measured level at normal temperature.

Lady Macbeth Breaks the Mould: Reconstruction of the Female Identity in Zinnie Harris’s Macbeth (an undoing)
Authors: Ünlü Çimen Esra
Published: December 2024

Zinnie Harris (1972 -) is a prominent contemporary British playwright known for her original plays and rewritings of renowned Western male playwrights’ works. In her rewritings, Harris gives new stories to the popular female figures of Western drama to challenge the dominant strand of criticism about the original plays, especially regarding the common reviews of these female characters often produced by male critics with gendered biases. Although her recent play, Macbeth (an undoing) (2023), is explicitly based on William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, it apparently differs from it since Harris portrays Lady Macbeth as a self-conscious character aware of her fictionality who aims to offer her version of the plot generated by Shakespeare and indicate several gaps in it. In Harris’s version, Lady Macbeth emerges as a strong-willed woman with no intention to kill herself while Macbeth appears as the one with mental disorder. Besides giving more voice to Lady Macduff, who appears in only one scene (4.2) where she and her son are killed in Macbeth, Harris’s Lady Macbeth aims to acquit the women labelled as witches in Shakespeare’s period. Within this context, this article argues that Harris’s play is a medium through which she aims to reconstruct the female identity embodied by Lady Macbeth, Lady Macduff and the witches in Macbeth and its later criticism by sexist voices. The purpose of the study is to focus on the individual stories of these female characters in Harris’s rewriting to question their conventional criticisms from a contemporary perspective offered by the playwright.

Bu çalışmada, biri (Kafka) I. Dünya Savaşı’nın diğeri (Lispector) II. Dünya Savaşı’nın vahşetine tanık olmuş, dünya edebiyatının iki yetkin temsilcisinin iki düzyazı metnindeki ortak hamamböceği ve dönüşüm motifleri karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz edilmiştir. Franz Kafka’nın Dönüşüm’ünde erkek ana figür Gregor Samsa, bir sabah yatağında kendisini devcileyin bir hamamböceğine dönüşmüş bir halde bulur. Clarice Lispector’un G.H.’nin Çilesi adlı metnindeki kadın ana figür ise, bir gün evinde uzun süredir girmediği hizmetçi odasına girdiğinde karşılaştığı bir hamamböceğini yer. Kafka’nın metninde ana figürün dönüşümü, bedeninin topyekûn bir hamamböceğine dönüşmesiyle gerçekleşirken, Lispector’un metninde bu dönüşüm; ana figürün, ötekileştirerek yaşamdan dışladığı her şeyi simgeleyen hamamböceğini, kendi bedeninin içine almasıyla, yani onu yemesiyle gerçekleşir. Çalışmanın amacı, her iki metin arasında güçlü bir diyalojik ilişki kuran bu motiflerin yazarlar tarafından nasıl ve hangi amaçla kullanıldığını tespit ederek aralarındaki ortak ve farklı yönleri ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda gerçekleştirilen analizde, önce metinler arasındaki genel ortaklıklara değinilmiş, ardından metinlerin teker teker analizi üzerinden, bu ortaklık/ benzerlik ya da farklılık unsurları bakımından metinler arasındaki diyalojik ilişki daha derinlemesine incelenmiştir. 20. yüzyılın savaşçıl ve kaotik dünyasında kaleme alınmış olan her iki metni ortak bir noktada buluşturan hamamböceği ve dönüşüm motifleri; karşılaştırma ve metinlerarasılık yöntemleri başta olmak üzere metne içkin ve metni aşkın eleştiri yöntemlerinden yararlanılan eklektik bir çoğul okuma yöntemiyle çözümlenmiştir.

Published: December 2024

Adapting retention strategies is essential to balancing Generation Z’s unique work values and preferences so that organizations can reduce turnover, enhance loyalty, and thrive in hybrid work environments. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of transformational leadership, work-life balance, and employee engagement in Generation Z’s organizational work commitment. Using a cross-sectional quantitative method, the investigation adopted purposive sampling and partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The quantitative data were collected through an online survey of 130 Jakarta Generation Z employees of creative industry firms. In addition, the qualitative validation interview was conducted to support the quantitative data analysis, including group heads of employees from the creative agencies. The results showed that transformational leadership significantly impacted employee engagement and affective organizational commitment. The work-life balance had only significant relationships with employee engagement without affecting organizational commitment. Employee engagement fully mediated the relationship between work-life balance and affective organizational commitment. Generation Z employees considered engagement a critical factor affecting commitment to exert a more substantial influence than transformational leadership and work-life balance. The results emphasized the need for organizations to focus on enhancing employee engagement to improve commitment among Generation Z employees in the hybrid work environment.

Plants of the genus Crotalaria are known for their antagonistic effect against nematodes. It
has been found that pyrrolizidine alkaloids are the main metabolites involved in such antagonistic
activity. Aiming at obtaining extracts with higher alkaloid content and enhanced potential for
use as bionematicides, we investigated the chemical composition and nematicidal activity of
extracts obtained from Crotalaria juncea and Crotalaria ochroleuca cultivated in vitro through
micropropagation. Remarkably, extracts from the callus of C. ochroleuca (lethal concentration of
95% (LC95) = 157.7 μg mL-1) and C. juncea (LC95 = 189.9 μg mL-1) exhibited high toxicity against
Meloidogyne javanica. The ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole
time-of-flight with high mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MSE) analysis revealed the presence of
pyrrolizidine alkaloids, flavones, flavone glycosides, and isoflavones. These findings highlight the
potential of tissue culture to obtain extracts from Crotalaria species compared to conventionally
cultivated plants and provide a higher concentration of metabolites with nematicidal effects, paving
the way for sustainable agriculture.

Authors: Sukharev Konstantin , Oksenenko Olga , Novokshanova Alla
Published: December 2024

The article introduces a quality and safety management system for a new functional fermented dairy product. The system relied on the formulation, technology, and potential production hazards. The authors used the decision tree method to define the critical control points of the technological process at the stages of raw material acceptance, mixing, pasteurization, and bottling. The experiment was conducted on the premises of the Pyatigorsk Dairy Plant (OOO Pyatigorskiy Molochniy Kombinat, Pyatigorsk). The local food safety management system provided a number of systematic measures, which made it possible to transfer the stages of mixing and storage from the class of critical categories to the class of control categories. The stages of raw milk acceptance and pasteurization remained the only critical points. Each critical point presupposed a number of corrective measures in case of violation. The new quality and safety management system ensured 21 days of shelf-life with a high-level microbiological safety that met the standards established by the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union. The lactic acid bacterial count did not fall below 1 × 107 CFU/cm3 while the probiotic count was 1 × 106 CFU/cm3. Based on the expert opinion, the new functional fermented dairy product received a Certificate of State Registration from the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Well-Being.

Educação e Colonialismo no Piauí:
Authors: Pachêco Júnior Manoel Rodrigues , Melo Salânia Maria Barbosa
Published: December 2024

Este artigo analisa a educação e o colonialismo no Piauí no século XIX, explorando os sistemas de ensino e suas especificidades. Inicia-se com uma discussão sobre os conceitos de ensino e educação, que, embora distintos, estão interligados. A pesquisa examina o ensino na lógica colonial piauiense, mostrando que a ideia de sujeito estava ligada ao poder, excluindo escravos, indígenas e outros grupos. O ensino serviu como ferramenta de imposição cultural e reprodução social, beneficiando uma elite fundiária em detrimento de indígenas, libertos e negros escravizados. Assim, caracteriza-se como um mecanismo de controle, conforme a noção de “reprodução cultural” proposta por Bourdieu.
„…testament zapisany na zdjęciu: oto tak wszystko powinno wyglądać”: fotografia między narracją o katastrofie a katastrofą narracji – na przykładzie opowiadania Savyon Liebrecht „Album mamy”
Authors: Szczypiorska-Chrzanowska Magdalena
Published: December 2024

“To explain the Holocaust, new ways of defining things should be invented, because the criteria we use to evaluate events in normal circumstances cannot be applied to survivors” – writes Savyon Liebrecht, a representative of the second generation, in her introductory note to the selection of short novels Excision. The short story Mother’s Photo Album from the Excision collection points to the entire inventory of strategies how (not) to talk about Holocaust, setting in the center of the events the photo album, understood as a construct shaping the biographies of the characters in the form of idealized, wishful reality, on the periphery of what is most traumatic, painful, impossible to accept.
The smooth surface of the photographic print obscures, hides, replaces images retained in the memory of the child born to a couple of survivors creating the world as “it should be” in opposition to the real world. The game of tensions between the biography and its supposedly photographic representation, the photo album, reveals multi-level relations between the imposing silence of the language and the hurly-burly of the photography, between the ethical understatement and the aesthetic excess, between a narrative of the disaster and a narrative disaster.

Smart Manufacturing for Fashion Firms
Authors: Sherifatu Abas , Zanu Joana Akweley , Bukari Musah , Ameyaw Eunice Acheampomaa
Published: December 2024

Industries in many parts of the world today have evolved as a result of rapid
advancement in information and manufacturing technologies. In Ghana, the product
manufacturing subsector, of which the fashion industry is a part, has also continued to
evolve just as the technological advancement progresses. As a result, companies
(fashion houses) are consistently looking for innovative ways to adapt to the evergrowing demands of consumer’s trendy wear. In view of the fact that the world is
experiencing low growth in the global economy, the fashion industry, realizing this, has
adopted smart manufacturing to enable it to maintain its relevance in the global
economy. Thus, smartening up factories is crucial in this era of industrial revolutions.
The traditional methods of operation by the fashion industry continue to fade as ecommerce booms. There is a need for the fashion industry to evolve by adopting smart
manufacturing, which may help the textile and garment industries become more
environmentally responsible and efficient, as well as boost business output and
efficiency by equipping “smart factories” with automated processes and technological
advancements. The purpose of this chapter is to review the literature on key areas of
smart manufacturing for fashion firms. It has been revealed in the chapter that the
projected advantages of the fourth industrial revolution are being fulfilled by smart
manufacturing projects. By integrating digital technologies with traditional automated
manufacturing processes, the manufacturing industry is projected to see a new growth
trajectory. More so, the smart factory can actively participate in the transition of
industries by utilizing the internet, data analytics, and sensors. This will eventually lead
to technological advancement at all stages of the manufacturing process. However, not
every firm will be able to balance the benefits of upgrading technology, installing
security systems, and retraining workers against the associated costs. Making a factory
smart requires input from many departments within a firm, but ultimately, the decision
must be taken on an accurate assessment of its financial viability for the facility or
business model in question.
RADIATION THERAPY FOR ENDOMETRIAL STROMAL SARCOMA: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Kusumaningrum Nadia Nita , Dyarma Kadiota Rasika , Nugroho Rafiq Sulistyo , Petrarizky Alfred Julius
Published: December 2024

Background: Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (ESS) is a part of uterine sarcoma that can clinically manifest with abnormal vaginal bleeding, postmenopausal bleeding, uterine enlargement or mass, dysmenorrhea, pelvic pressure, or pain. ESS is divided into four main categories: endometrial stromal nodule, low-grade ESS, high-grade ESS, and undifferentiated uterine sarcoma. Management for ESS includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hormone therapy. We want to review the role of radiation therapy for endometrial stromal sarcoma, from several pieces of literature.
Material and Methods: We are conducting a literature review to describe the role of radiation therapy for ESS.
Results: Radiotherapy serves as an adjuvant treatment in ESS, potentially improving prognosis and survival rates. While early-stage ESS may not necessitate radiotherapy, it can be considered for ESS cases with metastasis or when surgery is not an option.
Conclusion: According to previous studies, radiotherapy for ESS can improve disease-free survival and increase patient survival. On the other hand, there are studies that still require large-scale prospective studies to validate the effectiveness of radiotherapy for ESS.

Reflections on compassionate coaching with a UK social enterprise
Authors: Waddington Kathryn , Donaldson Karl
Published: December 2024

In this paper we describe and reflect upon a case study of pro bono (free of charge) coaching with a UK youth justice social enterprise (a business with social objectives). The paper integrates principles of coaching psychology with those of compassion, selfcompassion and well-being. We introduce a compassion-based framework for critically reflective practice in coaching and Work and Organizational Psychology. The coaching contract was built upon the concept of being equal thinking partners in co-created dialogue which involves ‘leaving egos outside’. We did six coaching sessions over a period of six months which enabled Karl to develop new learning and transfer this into his role and relationships at work. We include poetry and photography as examples of how coaching can enable clients reframe their experiences and gain new perspectives. The paper is relevant for readers who may be unfamiliar with skills and approaches in coaching psychology and are seeking to understand how these can be applied in their practice. It will also be of relevance to those who engage in coaching and are interested in exploring how compassion-based approaches might influence their coaching practice.

Authors:   Master of Management Program, Universitas Bina Darma, Palembang, Indonesia, Gunarto Muji , Cahyawati Dian ,   Mathematics Study Program, Universitas Sriwijaya, Palembang, Indonesia, Yanti Pitri ,   Doctoral Program in Management, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesian, Bandung, Indonesia
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the relationship between self-efficacy and service quality in private universities, focusing on the mediating role of Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). Using a quantitative research approach, data were collected from 85 higher education institutions through surveys and analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results demonstrate that self-efficacy positively influences both OCB and service quality, particularly through reliability as a key indicator of service quality. However, OCB does not mediate the relationship between self-efficacy and service quality, suggesting the influence of other factors such as technical skills and institutional policies. The findings highlight the importance of self-efficacy and OCB in enhancing service quality and emphasize the need for regular evaluations, increased support, and targeted training programs to strengthen lecturers’ self-efficacy. Universities are encouraged to promote OCB activities, including peer collaboration, student support, and curriculum development, offering valuable insights for managerial and policy improvements in private higher education institutions.

Authors: Kar Subhranshu Sekhar , Dube Rajani , George Biji Thomas , Jhancy Malay
Published: December 2024

There is a high prevalence of genetic abnormalities that significantly contribute to overall morbidity and mortality in neonates. Since early diagnosis is crucial for the optimal administration of conventional and customized medications, neonatal acute care has the most significant potential to benefit from genomic medicine. Genome sequencing has been demonstrated to have diagnostic, therapeutic and informational value in many investigations. With underlying genetic disorders, genome sequencing has the power to change the way newborn care is provided completely. However, due to existing healthcare disparities, genomic medicine requires cautious implementation to guarantee equitable access for disadvantaged groups. Hence, its clinical application is still challenging.

Authors: Gong Eun Jeong , Bang Chang Seok , Lee Jae Jun , Park Jonghyung , Kim Eunsil , Kim Subeen , Kimm Minjae , Choi Seoung-Ho
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

As health care continues to evolve with technological advancements, the integration of artificial intelligence into clinical practices has shown promising potential to enhance patient care and operational efficiency. Among the forefront of these innovations are large language models (LLMs), a subset of artificial intelligence designed to understand, generate, and interact with human language at an unprecedented scale.

OBJECTIVE

This systematic review describes the role of LLMs in improving diagnostic accuracy, automating documentation, and advancing specialist education and patient engagement within the field of gastroenterology and gastrointestinal endoscopy.

METHODS

Core databases including MEDLINE through PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central registry were searched using keywords related to LLMs (from inception to April 2024). Studies were included if they satisfied the following criteria: (1) any type of studies that investigated the potential role of LLMs in the field of gastrointestinal endoscopy or gastroenterology, (2) studies published in English, and (3) studies in full-text format. The exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) studies that did not report the potential role of LLMs in the field of gastrointestinal endoscopy or gastroenterology, (2) case reports and review papers, (3) ineligible research objects (eg, animals or basic research), and (4) insufficient data regarding the potential role of LLMs. Risk of Bias in Non-Randomized Studies—of Interventions was used to evaluate the quality of the identified studies.

RESULTS

Overall, 21 studies on the potential role of LLMs in gastrointestinal disorders were included in the systematic review, and narrative synthesis was done because of heterogeneity in the specified aims and methodology in each included study. The overall risk of bias was low in 5 studies and moderate in 16 studies. The ability of LLMs to spread general medical information, offer advice for consultations, generate procedure reports automatically, or draw conclusions about the presumptive diagnosis of complex medical illnesses was demonstrated by the systematic review. Despite promising benefits, such as increased efficiency and improved patient outcomes, challenges related to data privacy, accuracy, and interdisciplinary collaboration remain.

CONCLUSIONS

We highlight the importance of navigating these challenges to fully leverage LLMs in transforming gastrointestinal endoscopy practices.

Decoding public’s real-time emotional and cognitive responses to the changing climate on social media (Preprint)
Authors: Xu Yucan , Yuan Jiehu , Li Sijia , Liao Qiuyan
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Climate change poses a significant threat to global mental health and well-being. Existing research on the associations between climate change-related events and mental well-being outcomes has primarily relied on a single approach, such as cross-sectional surveys conducted at specific time points or in disaster settings. However, the long-term effects and variability of the changing climate on mental well-being remain relatively unexplored. Additionally, the underlying mechanisms that link changing climate conditions to real-time emotional well-being and pro-environmental actions have rarely been studied.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to address these gaps by integrating multiple data sources, including social media posts about climate change on Weibo (n=76,514), 20 years of regional meteorological data (n(records) = 216,476), and regional vulnerability data in China.

METHODS

This study proposed and tested a new mechanism that connects meteorological factors with emotional well-being through three cognitive responses identified from social media posts: thinking styles, social affiliations, and somatosensory experiences. Psycholinguistic analysis, structural equation modeling, and multiple regression models were utilized to examine the mediation of these three conceptual factors, as well as the moderating effects of regional vulnerability and seasonal changes on the influence of climate change on public emotional well-being and downstream pro-environmental tendencies.

RESULTS

The results revealed that extreme hot days and hotter temperatures were associated with more negative emotional well-being and lower pro-environmental tendencies and these effects were mediated by three proposed mediators (P<.001 for social affiliations and thinking styles, P=.01 for somatosensory experiences) and moderated by seasons (P=.009) and regional population density (P=.007).

CONCLUSIONS

The findings emphasize the need for interventions that promote mental well-being in response to climate change. They highlight the importance of cognitive responses in enhancing coping abilities and encouraging pro-environmental behaviors.

Nitrogen (N) is one of the most essential nutrients for rice crops. Farmers generally provide Nitrogen requirements in rice through fertilization, but the fertilization process is only based on an estimation without calculating the amount needed first. However, neither insufficient nor excessive nitrogen content is good for rice crops, and the nitrogen needs of rice crops are different at each growth stage. The nitrogen requirement in the generative phase is relatively high because the process of panicle formation and grain filling occurs at this stage. Several methods can be used to monitor nitrogen content in rice, one of which is using remote sensing methods. With the vegetation index approach, the nitrogen content of rice plants is estimated through data analysis of the light spectrum reflected by the leaf. Sentinel-2 satellite imagery was used in this research, and several vegetation indexes such as OSAVI, GNDVI, and SRRE were applied to form an estimation model using the regression method. From the results, three vegetation indexes positively correlate with nitrogen content in rice crops. The SRRE index gives the highest correlation coefficient value of 0.692, while the correlation coefficient value for GNDVI is 0.498, and OSAVI is only 0.470. The estimation map of the nitrogen content of rice crops was obtained based on the estimation model made by linear regression between SPAD-based nitrogen content data and the best vegetation index using the SRRE index. The analysis shows that the nitrogen content of rice plants estimated in the paddy fields of Karangjati Subdistrict is dominated by nitrogen values with optimum classification.
Transportation and Differentiation on Rhythmicity of Road Traffic Activities Between Urban and Rural Areas
Authors: Nguyen Ngoc Thi
Published: December 2024

Transport and rhythm in transport activities are considered as a mirror reflecting socio-economic activities. In addition to studying secondary sources, the article mainly uses field methods and counts the number of vehicles circulating on 12 main urban routes and 12 inter-district routes along with the interviews of random 200 workers in the transport sector, traders, and sales staff in Thanh Hoa province. The data sources are synthesized, processed and compared to see the differentiation in the number of means of transport in urban areas, revealing it is 2.0 times higher than that in rural areas. The rhythm in transport activities in urban areas is also often more concentrated than in rural areas. In addition, during production and business seasons such as tourist season, agricultural harvest season, and holidays, the volume of transport, turnover and transport revenue is always 3 - 5 times higher than normal. The results of the study contribute to orienting transport operation plans to avoid the consequences of traffic congestion during peak times of the year.

The Sayung coast is an area subject to the direct influence of coastal disasters, particularly tidal floods. Tis research aimed to investigate the impact of tidal floods on social and economic aspects in Sayung Subdistrict. In order to achieve the aim, data collection was conducted through a systematic process comprising structured interviews carried out using a questionnaire. The research also implemented a random sampling methodology, comprising a total of 23 informants and in-depth interviews were conducted with key informants to augment its comprehensiveness. Following this, the data processing and analysis followed a mixed-method approach where quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) and grounded theory. The obtained results showed that tidal floods had a significant direct impact is able to influence physical health, employment, and property at 62.32%, 69.59% and and 65.43% respectively. Furthermore indirect impact property is able to influence property value by 62.78%,  physical health, property damages and employment can influence mental health by 71.71% and physical health, employment can affect mobility by 66.89%. The finding accounts for a new insight that tidal floods have direct and indirect impacts on the community, as examined using the mixed-method approach. The study of tidal flood impacts on poor households in Sayung Coastal, Demak, offers different findings from previous ones. Some previous studies discuss the general effects of tidal floods while disregarding the framework of the direct and indirect impacts of the floods on poor households

The mental health of elderly women affected by the COVID-19 pandemic is important to consider and is aligned with the development goals of the SDGs. Delayed treatment will exacerbate mental health status, physical health, and the risk of suicide. This is combined with a decrease in socio-economic conditions that can trigger interpersonal tensions and lead to violence in elderly women. Various studies have shown an increase in violence against elderly women during the COVID-19 pandemic. The violence can lead to depression. This study aims to identify the relationship between violence and depression of elderly women post-pandemic COVID-19 in Purwobinangun, Sleman. The method used was cross-sectional study with a sample of 70 elderly women in Purwobinangun who did not have dementia and severe heart disease. Linear regression test was used by using SPSS 25.0 version. The results showed that the prevalence of depression in elderly women was 55.8%, accompanied by elderly women who experienced various types of violence in their daily lives. In addition, there is a significant relationship between violence and depression (p=0.000; t=9.316). Thus it can be concluded that, the more violence experienced, it can increase the condition of depression in elderly women in Purwobinangun, Sleman. Hence, relevant stakeholders should pay attention to the condition of depression and violence in elderly women as well as researchers should conduct new research using qualitative methods.
