Methods For this purpose, a survey was conducted asking 1,302 elementary and middle school teachers in the Chungbuk area about the current situation and perception of In-service training. In order to analyze these survey results, crosstabulation and F/t tests were conducted using the spss statistical program.
Results The results of the current situation of In-service training are as follows. 86.4% of elementary and middle school teachers completed more than 60 hours of training. The motivation for participating in the training was to improve teaching, classroom management, and guidance skills the most. Self-management and responding to changes in the times were the most frequently participated training subjects. Regarding training effectiveness, 71.2% of teachers responded positively. The result of the demand for In-service training is as follows. Elementary and secondary school teachers responded the most with 30 hours or more and less than 60 hours as the recommended training time. Weekday afternoons and vacations were selected as effective training times. As for the training topics that should be emphasized in the future, character education was the most frequently answered. As for the training method, mixed training was the most preferred, and the ratio of remote training was higher in mixed training. The degree of agreement on the improvement method of In-service training is as follows. Teachers agree on the improvement method as a whole.
Conclusions Based on the analysis of the current situation and perception of In-service training, the conclusions are as follows. First, research that analyzes the actual situation and perception of In-service training should be continuously conducted. Second, it is necessary to explore ways to expand the participation of low-career teachers in training. Third, training programs should be planned and operated by reflecting various demands according to the school level and teaching experience.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Choi Min-Jeong , Hong Ji-Sun , Ahn Sook-ja
Published: May 2023

Objectives This study was conducted to clarify the meaning and essence of how counselors experienced emotional contagion in counseling relationships for intermediate counselors and how they understood and dealt with it.
Methods Applying Giorgi's phenomenological research method as a research method, In-depth interviews and data analysis were conducted with 8 counselors who have a counseling major, have a master's degree or higher, are currently conducting counseling in the counseling field, have between 4 and 9 years of counseling experience, and have an above-average level of emotional contagion from October to December 2021.
Results As a result, 62 semantic units, 17 sub-themes, and 5 upper-level topics were derived. The top 5 topics are as follows. With “feeling like one with a client,” “broken counseling,” “exploitation of emotions that began by looking back on oneself,” “counseling that meets enough with emotions,” and “newly approaching emotional contagion,” at first, the counselors experienced emotional contagion clearly. but while recognizing what kind of attitude they had toward emotional contagion, they looked back on themselves and met deeply with their clients through emotions. with this they could accept emotional contagion anew and use it for counseling.
Conclusions This study is meaningful in that suggesting the nature of experience by specifically exploring how intermediate counselors vividly experience emotions and how it resonates in them and how they understand it and cope with it in addition, it was found that emotional contagion is inevitable in the counseling scene and can affect counseling performance depending on how the counselor recognizes and uses it. In the future, this study can be used by counselors as basic data to understand, utilize, and cope with emotional contagion in growing into experts.

The Notorious GPT: science communication in the age of artificial intelligence
Authors: Schäfer Mike S.
Published: May 2023

ChatGPT provides original, human-like responses to user prompts based on supervised and reinforcement machine learning techniques. It has become the poster child of generative AI, which is widely diagnosed to disrupt many realms of life — including science communication. This essay reflects on this development. It discusses opportunities for the practice of science communication, such as generative AI’s translational and multimodal capacities and its capacity to provide dialogical science communication at scale, but also challenges in terms of accuracy, ‘wrongness at scale’ or job market implications. It also ponders implications for research on science communication, which has largely neglected (generative) AI so far. It argues that scholars should analyze public communication “about” AI as well as communication “with” AI, given its ‘increased agency’. Furthermore, scholars should analyze the impact of AI on science communication itself and the larger science communication ecosystem.
Self-esteem and job satisfaction among the academic staff in higher education
Authors: Ahmeti Aferdita , Stankovska Gordana
Published: May 2023

Education in the 21st century is focused on knowledge based on collaboration, interaction, and creativity. We need knowledge, skills, competencies, and characteristics of individuals who will create knowledge with the assistance of university academics. So the objective of our paper was to determine the relationship between self-esteem and job satisfaction among 150 full-time academic employees, employed at three state universities in the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of North Macedonia. We used the following measuring instruments: job satisfaction survey (JSS) and Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSE). Results show that 86 (57.33%) subjects have high self-esteem, 38 (25.33%) have a medium level of self-esteem and 26 (17.34%) have low self-esteem. We found that the low self-esteem of the subjects does not depend on job satisfaction, while there is a significant correlation between the medium level of self-esteem and job satisfaction and the high level of self-esteem and job satisfaction. In addition, the self-esteem of the academic staff depends on the total job satisfaction, coworkers, and nature of work, communication, salary. The obtained results show that job satisfaction and job success are moderators of self-esteem in academic staff (Marcionneti & Castelli, 2022).

Authors: AlHares Aws , AlEmadi Noora , Abu-Asi Tarek , Al Abed Ruba
Published: May 2023

In this research, we investigate how cash holdings are affected by the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure practices of corporations. This research provides valuable insights into the ongoing discussion all across the world on ESG disclosure, and mainly 5 countries from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which are the United States of America, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Australia, over the period 2012–2021. We used Refinitiv Eikon database to measure the variables. The results show there is a significantly negative relation between ESG disclosure and cash holdings in the introduction, growth, and shake-out/decline stages. Lower cash holdings are associated with higher firm performance and a positive value of cash. In spite of using different econometric parameters, other measurements, extra control variables, propensity score matching, and an instrumental variable approach, our results remained unchanged (Arayssi et al., 2020). This paper has recommendations for policymakers, investors, and business organizations. Importantly, our study reveals how higher levels of ESG disclosure lead to better cash-holding practices (Buallay, 2022).

Authors: Thobias Ashi R. , Patel Kinjal A. , Mehta Kruti A. , Patel Bijal M. , Patel Jayendra B. , Patel Prabhudas S.
Published: May 2023

Background: Cervical cancer is one of the leading malignancies
in women of India with high mortality rate and no available targeted
therapy. This is due to dearth in understanding of underlying mechanisms
regulating cervical carcinogenesis and distinguished behavioral pattern
of HPV-associated carcinomas. This study aims to understand association
of HPV infection and cervical cancer with aberrant glycosylation, an
enabling factor for other hallmarks of cancer. Materials and
Methods: DNA and RNA were isolated from biopsy samples of 92 cervical
cancer patients. HPV 16 and 18 infection was detected by endpoint
Type-Specific PCR. RNA samples were processed for expression analysis of
HPV 16-E6, HPV 16-E7 and HPV 16-E2 oncogenes. Analysis of the expression
of glycosylation transcripts were performed using qPCR.
Results: Correlation of HPV infection with transcript levels of
ST3GAL3, ST6GAL1, FUT5 and FUT8 was observed. In HPV 16 and 18 positive
patients, the transcript levels of ST3GAL3, ST6GAL1 and FUT5 were higher
while FUT8 transcripts levels showed down-regulation.
Conclusion: This data depicts hyper-glycosylation patterns
associated with HPV infection. HPV-associated cancers showed down
regulation of core fucosylation and up-regulation of ST3GAL3, ST6GAL1
and FUT5. The behavioral pattern for HPV-associated cancer could be due
to its differential association with altered glycosylation.

Além disso, as maiores problemáticas na educação científica para surdos se encontram no contexto da escola regular e, com isso, há um maior número de estudos que abordam sobre esse contexto. Felizmente, muitas pesquisas vêm apontando possíveis soluções para essas problemáticas. De modo geral, tanto docentes quanto Intérpretes de Libras têm recorrido ao uso de estratégias e recursos didático-pedagógicos visuais e bilíngues, considerando diferentes modos, corporais, sensoriais e multimodais, na promoção interação, comunicação e do processo de ensino-aprendizagem científico.
"I think it's biblically wrong, but temptation gets the better of me": A survey on out-of-control sexual behavior in a Christian cohort of men in the UK
Authors:   Mill Hill East Church, Mill Hill East, London, UK, Lau Timothy C. Y. , Miles Glenn M. ,   European Freedom Network
Published: May 2023

The current study aims to better understand influences on men within the UK Christian community on their engagement with pornography and prostitution. The authors utilized the Carnes (2012) survey to examine the landscape of sexual knowledge and behaviours, and to identify symptoms, and the propensity towards, “out-of-control sexual behaviour” among participants. Data from a survey sent to the Christian community through church networks and word of mouth was used for this study. Of the 491 men who participated, the majority (94%, 460) described their personal Christian faith as “strong.” Despite the Christian faith community's moral code of conduct, the survey results showed a gap in self-awareness and understanding of members’ thoughts, beliefs, and conduct. Although almost three-quarters (74%, 361) of participants viewed pornography negatively, nearly half (45%, 220) admitted to using pornography at least occasionally. Many participants (31%, 152) indicated that they learned about sex through watching pornography. The survey also revealed that 10% (51) of participants had engaged with a prostitute for sex. Additionally, 21% (105) of participants believed that erotic massage was not prostitution. Using the Carnes (2012) framework, the survey found that over half of the survey participants (53%, 258) had a propensity towards “out-of-control sexual behaviour.” In relation to the church, more than half (55%, 268) of participants knew other Christian men who used pornography, and 25% (125) feared church discipline if they shared their use of pornography and prostitution. These results suggest that more programs and information are needed within the Christian community to build a culture of trust and accountability among members regarding sexual issues.

UWaterloo Canada Day, a case in risk management and stakeholder engagement
Authors: McManus Kelly
Published: May 2023

For over three decades, an annual Canada Day celebration was hosted by the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. A change in leadership for the event in 2013 transformed a grassroots, student-led event; a new strategic event design was introduced to include sponsorships, branding, and scale of the celebration. Subsequently, several escalating risks and costs were identified, and a feasibility review was conducted. This led to the University’s decision to wind-down the event in 2019. The UWaterloo Canada Day case explores the importance of ongoing review of event feasibility, risk management and stakeholder engagement for event managers.

Social impacts of community events, the Clunes Book Festival, Australia
Authors: Mair Judith
Published: May 2023

This case study considers the social impacts of a community event, the Clunes Book Festival, held annually in Australia. The festival has been an integral part of the revitalisation of the town of Clunes and the catalyst for its transformation from rural backwater to a bustling town, thanks to its investments in the creative economy. However, these changes haven’t been welcomed by all residents, as some feel that the changes in the town downplay its history and heritage. The case takes a critical perspective and allows learners to understand the diversity of stakeholders involved in the events industry and their varying ideas of place transformation through events.
‘Invisible’ impacts and hybrid spaces of nature based events, the case of a trail running marathon Fjällmaraton in Sweden
Authors: Margaryan Lusine , Eriksson Axel
Published: May 2023

In this case study we illustrate the interplay of social-ecological factors and uncontrollable processes in an event context. We focus on trail running, the popularity of which is on the rise, and scrutinise the case of a nature-based event – the mountain trail running marathon Fjällmaraton in Sweden. We introduce pedagogical and theoretical perspectives of new materialism and the Anthropocene, building on the ontological stance of hybridity of social-cultural systems. To understand the role of events as active agents of the Anthropocene we focus on infrastructure and feral effects. By looking at the unintended consequences, we discuss the limitations of managerial frameworks, unable to account for processes beyond the control of event planners, entangled in the complex social-ecological systems.
Analysis of the Current Status of Enacted Legislation on Autonomous Vehicles in the United States
Authors: Pillala Soujanya , Korkmaz Kasim , Koo Hyun Jeong
Published: May 2023

Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) have the potential to
increase efficiency, safety, environmental benefits, and equity in the transportation area. However, these benefits are not guaranteed until design, planning, policy, and implementation frameworks play their roles in bringing these benefits to the community. This paper presents a bibliometric and systematic review of the legislation on AVs in the U.S. to analyze the definition, evolution, and enacted legislation to help understand the current status of this research area and provide the future research direction. Investigation of existing legislation mainly focuses on 33 states in the U.S. that have enacted legislation, and the information from 2012 to 2022 was collected. Then, the collected information was categorized into seven categories for further analysis. From this study, the authors found out that state rules primarily govern testing rather than its general use. Even though testing is currently the top priority, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) anticipates AV legislation to evolve rapidly and desires to issue new regulations annually in preparation for deployment. There is a trend in going through the state governments implementing AV legislation by evaluating current laws and regulations to address unnecessary impediments to testing and deployment. This trend should have cooperated with all states to avoid a patchwork of inconsistent state laws. This study shows that the states have been moving toward passing legislation to test and enact policies to be ready to implement AVs on the highways.
An Overview on Venous Valvuloplasty and Saphenous Sparing
Authors: Camilli Sante , Camilli Daniele
Published: May 2023

Venous valvuloplasty (VV) has been proposed for over 50 years to obtain functional reconstruction in patients with chronic venous insufficiency. The various techniques used have given long-term positive results in about 80% of the cases treated, which is moderately better than ablative techniques for the same pathologies. VV seems to be advisable in cases of poor compliance of the deep venous system following ablation of the great saphenous vein. Furthermore, it allows the saving of the saphenous conduit, which represents a precious advantage in case of need for arterial replacement surgery. So far it did not get widespread. Reasons for this include: rather strict eligibility criteria, which reduce the number of possible beneficiaries; the greater complexity of the procedure, both diagnostic and operative, compared to the endovascular ablative techniques proposed in recent decades; the scarce availability of adequate medical devices. Current research seems oriented towards the development of prosthetic neo-valves, made of biomaterials engineered with innovative techniques, which can be positioned by catheter in the deep venous system.

Authors: Sari Risca Novita , Herawati Nurul , Pauzi Nur Farahah Mohd
Published: May 2023

Purpose – This study aims to review the development of tax research, especially tax compliance in Indonesia for 22 years. Design/methodology/approach – The review is based on 129 tax compliance articles published in Indonesian accredited scientific journals Science and Technology Index (Sinta)  1 and 2 and/or A and B in 2001 – 2022. Tax compliance articles were selected with the keywords “tax compliance,” “tax non-compliance,” “tax compliance taxpayer," and "taxpayer compliance." Article mapping includes journal names, publication years, research methods, research variables, research data sources, and research tax subjects.Findings – This study found that the development of taxpayer compliance research tends to increase from year to year and most of all in 2019. Most of the publications of taxpayer compliance articles are in the journal Accounting Analysis Journal. Most of the taxpayer compliance articles use quantitative methods and primary data sources. Research with quantitative methods more often use variables of taxpayer compliance, quality of tax services, and tax sanctions. The most researched tax subject is the individual taxpayer.Originality/value – This study provides evidence of the development of tax compliance research in Indonesia in the field of accounting which has been published in national scientific journals accredited SINTA 1 and 2 and/or A and B for over two decades. It maps all tax compliance articles published in the SINTA 1 and 2 and/or A and B indexing portals without any restrictions related to the publication year. SINTA 1 and 2 and/or A and B were used in the review because the Science and Technology Index (SINTA) is a popular national portal as a reference in scientific research and has been accredited by ARJUNA (National Journal Accreditation). This current research furthers prior studies by using additional keywords for the article search. This study used three Indonesian keywords “kepatuhan pajak,” “ketidakpatuhan pajak,” “kepatuhan wajib pajak,” and on English keyword “taxpayer compliance” in the search.Research limitations/implications – The findings can be used as material for evaluating researchers’ performance in the field of tax accounting, especially on tax compliance. Findings also provide information regarding the tax compliance research trend in Indonesia and serves as a useful reference for further research, especially for research on related topic. In this research, the sensitivity of the keywords is the research limitation.
Kontestasi Keberagamaan di Media Sosial: Kontra Interpretasi ‎Radikalisme di Platform Youtube
Authors: Mila Rosa Elis , Puspita Mega , Samsul Mutaqin Rizal , Zainul Ali Zezen
Published: May 2023

Religious practices and understandings are not only expressed in the real world but also in cyberspace through several platforms. Social media is an alternative nowadays to spread religious ideas, one of which is through Youtube. Youtube as a platform that has several features and a wide reach is a medium used by ustadz to preach and spread religious ideas. However, the different scientific backgrounds possessed by each Ustadz and jama'ah who listened to lectures gives birth to an understanding that tends to truth claims and results in religious contestation. This paper wants to photograph the form of religious contestation on social media and the application of religious moderation for social media users. To analyze it, this study uses qualitative methods, in the process, the author uses a type of ethnographic research (ethnography) as an intermediary in finding available data on digital traces as well as literature (library research). This study focuses on some of the content in the Youtube account of Al-Bahjah and Khalid Basalamah Official as a data source, and the data obtained will be narrated descriptively. This research departs from the argument that in practice or understanding, it does not just appear out of nowhere. The phenomenon of religious contestation has internal and external factors that shape religious life and religious moderation as a solution to the existing phenomenon.

Published: May 2023

"During the Victorian age, post-mortem and spirit photography became increasingly popular so that those who had lost dear people were offered an extended mourning ground. These types of images were produced in great number in order to prove the existence of the other world. It is natural that many of these dead people portraits deal with transparency, blur and diffusion, as the result of superimposing reality and spectrality. Later on, ectoplasms were caught on photosensitive materials by a great number of spirit hunters, aiming at the same purpose of demonstrating the physicality of the invisible order. Cinema imported the spiritualist themes and the subjects related to them and continued the same tradition of revealing to the common eye of the spectator a supernatural realm. Our paper analyses the aesthetics of different styles and techniques of working with these delicate subjects in photography and film throughout the ages, from Mumler to Méliès. Keywords: transparency, blur, superimposition, vanishing acts, post-mortem photography, spirit photography, ectoplasms, fantastic film, magicians, spectrality. "

"When they set Shakespeare’s Richard III into one night and eliminate most of the male characters, Italian actor and playwright Carmelo Bene’s Richard III or the Terrible Night of a Man of War (1977) and Flemish dramatist Peter Verhelst’s Richard III (2004) turn Richard’s story into an intimate, private tragedy. This article argues that, influenced by ideas and concepts developed by the theorists of the historical avant-gardes, both practitioners condense, fragment, atomise the story they borrow from Shakespeare, shifting the focus from the events themselves to the characters’ perception of the events, and foregrounding the image of the suffering or disabled body. Keywords: Richard III, rewriting, body, narrative, the avant-garde, women. "

"This article looks at different approaches to staging Street Theater about Human Rights in a multilingual environment. Theater on the streets intended to convince passers-by to stop and watch a short skit needs to attract with visual and theatrical techniques, but since Human Rights are conceptual, the actors need to get their message across using words audience members can mull over. How can a maximum number of passers-by be reached in an urban environment where there are three, even four, national languages? Research is ongoing. Keywords: street theatre, mime, amateur actors, Amnesty International, human rights. "

"The post-apocalyptic genre has seen a resurgence in 2023 due to HBO’s The Last of Us, a television adaptation based on Naughty Dog’s video game of the same name, where the society has collapsed due to an infection that causes human bodies to gradually mutate and become violent. There have been debates on whether the infected humans should be called “zombies”, as the word was banned on the production set and the creative director of the video game has refused numerous times to use the word when labeling the infected bodies. In this article, I am taking a closer look at the infection presented in the series, its impact on the human body, the mutation and transformation that precedes it, and the question of zombification in relation to an existing and real-world infection, as in the case Cordyceps fungus. Moreso, I will discuss the validity of considering analyzing The Last of Us through the body horror filter, due to the exploration of an infection that happens in stages, and the different anatomical and aesthetical changes it provokes to the human body. Keywords: horror, television, video game, body horror, adaptation. "

"The In-Between Worlds Transmedia Universe started out as a blank whiteboard. Sixteen students, three coordinators and multiple contributors and collaborators created this Universe together, during one full semester (from October 2022 until February 2023). The project culminated with an exhibition that lasted one week, with the opening on 11 February in the Ethnographical Museum of Transylvania located in the heart of Cluj-Napoca city, Romania. The project revolves around the subject of mythological creatures, myths and traditions from the territory of Romania. The exhibition was meant to showcase the ephemeral parts of this project, such as: several interactive installations, projections, photography exhibition, Virtual Reality experience, but also the more permanent parts of the project, such as: the feature documentary and the card game. It is important to understand what exactly means the domain of the Transmedia, what are the elements and components that build a Transmedia Universe and how exactly this project encompasses each one of those, in order to achieve a complex and complete structure, and to also understand the reasoning behind each artistic product. Keywords: transmedia, storytelling, myths, creatures, exhibition. "

"Does modern digital media reconfigure the film’s message? The ubiquity of interactive screens alters the social and emotional human interactions. Through the advent of digital media within the film workflow, the ontological referentiality of the analog support becomes obsolete. The medium digital support can influence the meaning and structure of the message, which gradually starts losing its primary meanings due to the shallow, inattentive film viewing. Starting with the aesthetic approaches and visual codes, the movie’s distribution begins to replace some disputable values which the film as an art has preserved within its DNA, emotion and empathy. How much of the iconic stage of a sign is still embedded within a support without an ontic representativity, expressed today through mathematic algorithms and digital codes? Keywords: intermediality, transmediality, analogue format, digital media, ontic values. "

"The paper presents a possible approach to the construction of a comic character from both a vocal and a verbal point of view, by using various language disorders. For the scenic procedure of language composition, voice and pronunciation as well as rhythm and influence disorders can be important tools for students in their creating a comic character, since these techniques have a significant potential also outside the Commedia dell’Arte. Hence, conscious training and practice of speech/language disorders, such as dyslalia, as well as of rhythm and fluency disorders, develops and improves both the students’ voice usage abilities and their vocal creativity, so that they can manifest themselves artistically in a more expressive way. Keywords: acting, character, training, speech/language disorders, rhythm and fluency disorders, Commedia dell’Arte. "

"A conversation with Maia Morgenstern prompted interesting reflections about what it means to be an actor. In it, subjects such as fear, motivation, desire, and even the differences between stage and film acting are touched upon. We explore both surface matters as well as profound and extremely sensitive aspects about the actor in general and his instrument. Maia Morgenstern is a celebrated theatre and film actress, known for theatre productions such as An Antique Trilogy (Andrei Șerban, 1990) and films such as The Oak (Lucian Pintilie, 1992) and The Passion of the Christ (Mel Gibson, 2003).

Editorial as a Discursive Genre
Authors: Nikonova E. A.
Published: May 2023

Editorial is considered as a discursive genre of the English-language press. The concept of the discursive genre was developed by M. Montgomery on the example of mass media texts and allows us to combine the approach to considering the genre, on the one hand, as a recurrent stable structure, and on the other hand, to emphasize its mobility and variability. It is argued that this approach is especially relevant for media texts due to the existing difficulties in developing their typology and determining their status. The genre-forming features of editorial are highlighted: the use of colloquial speech, argumentativeness, intertextuality, high emotionality of the language, the presence of individual author’s nominations, as well as the use of discursive practices of recommendation and forecasting. The structure of the genre is defined: it is a three-stage model, where the conclusion plays a special role, which, in turn, can take such forms as conclusion-recommendations, conclusion-forecast, conclusion-evaluation, as well as various combinations of all three types of conclusions. It has been established that, from the point of view of content, the editorial covers the most pressing issues that are at the center of socio-political debates. The definition of editorial is given as a genre of high-quality English-language press, which acts as a tool for promoting the political interests of the newspaper and influencing public values and attitudes.
