Authors:   Universitas Hasanuddin, Efendy Agus
Published: December 2022

Implementation of Occupational Safety and Health is one form of effort to create a safe workplace to reduce occupational diseases. The continuous work stress faced by health workers during the Covid-19 pandemic is likely to cause stress. The research aims to analyze the application of the OSH management system to work stress in health workers during the Covid-19 pandemic at the Daya Regional General Hospital in Makassar City in 2022. Methods: This research is a quantitative and qualitative (combined) approach. The analysis used was descriptive-analytic analysis with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique is a technique with purposive sampling. The sample was 61 nurses and the interviews were conducted with 2 K3 officers, 1 IPCLN officer, and 4 nurse room heads. Results: Of the quantitative study showed that there was a relationship between the implementation of K3RS (p=0.026), work shifts (p=0.027), workload (p=0.017), and years of service (p=0.001) on work stress. The results of the qualitative research show that most health workers have a high workload, long working hours, and standardized work shifts that can affect K3RS implementation and are not optimal. Conclusion: The four variables, namely the implementation of K3RS, workload, work shifts, and years of service had a relationship with work stress in Daya Hospital. His advice is to regularly review and continuously improve SMK3 to improve overall OSH performance and preferably establish a special budget to support the implementation of occupational safety and health at Daya Hospital.

Published: December 2022

This study examined the managerial structure of Universal Basic Education (UBE) policy embraced by the governments of African countries towards ensuring free, compulsory and uninterrupted access to 9-year formal education for every child of school-age by 2050. Previous studies on UBE policy implementation in Nigeria reported unequal educational participation among school-aged children in the villages or rural areas when compared with the urban school-aged students. This paper seeks to understand if management could be attributed as the reason for over 4.5 million out-of-school children in two regional rural areas in Nigeria. Data collection for this study was through document analysis and semi-structured interviews with 20 local education administrators in two rural areas. According to the analysed data, political issues and inadequate infrastructure facilities to support teaching and learning were major challenges for managing education. Recommendations have been provided to enhance equitable opportunity to education among the school-aged children in the rural areas in Nigeria.
Attracting teachers to rural and remote Queensland: A case study
Authors:   University of Canberra, Paynter Ann-Maree , Taylor Elizabeth
Published: December 2022

For many years the supply of graduate teachers, including specialist secondary teachers for Queensland state schools, has largely met demand. In recent years however, attracting and retaining specialist teachers in some Queensland locations and curriculum areas has become more challenging. Reflective of wider Australian and international trends, balancing the supply of specialist teachers to meet current and future demands requires planning and early action. Taking a traditional approach to recruiting teachers (as vacancies arise) can result in shortfalls when unplanned absences, retirements and promotions occur unexpectedly. Subjects that are already hard to fill such as senior mathematics and science, English, languages, industrial technology and design (manual arts) are even more elusive in the middle of a school term. Many schools located in low socio-economic, regional, rural and remote communities are also experiencing challenges in recruiting teachers for the breadth of learning phases and curriculum areas.

Waqf Literacy: The Dynamics of Waqf in Indonesia
Authors: Nugraha Ahmad Lukman , Susilo Adib , Huda Miftahul , Athoillah Mohamad Anton , Rochman Chaerul
Published: December 2022

In the history of Islamic civilization, waqf has been a pillar of the glory of Islam. The function of waqf is as a provider of public facilities and social facilities that support the life of the Muslim community, such as mosques, squares, Islamic schools, cemeteries and public roads. The development of waqf in Indonesia can have an influence on fiscal policy, namely through cash waqf. Even though Indonesia has a fairly large waqf potential, Indonesia has not been able to manage its waqf properly. Therefore, studies related to the development of waqf in Indonesia are still an interesting study for both scientists and practitioners. The purpose of this article is to review the development of waqf in Indonesia. The approach used in this paper is descriptive qualitative. The author finds the development of waqf in Indonesia is very dynamic. It can be seen from the existing phenomena, the dynamics of the waqf fatwa and the products being donated are increasingly diverse. At first, waqf only wallowed in fixed assets such as land, schools, Islamic boarding schools, and buildings that had a static nature. Beginning with the 2004 waqf law, waqf objects were transformed into cash waqf which were more practical and productive. Followed by the establishment of BWI in the same year by the Government led to an increase in the administrative management of waqf. Dalam sejarah peradaban Islam, wakaf pernah menjadi penopang kegemilangan Islam. Fungsi wakaf sebagai penyedia fasilitas umum dan fasilitas sosial yang menopang kehidupan masyarakat muslim, seperti masjid, lapangan, madrasah, kuburan dan jalan umum. Perkembangan wakaf di Indonesia dapat memberikan pengaruh terhadap kebijakan fiskal yakni melalui wakaf tunai. Meskipun Indonesia memiliki potensi wakaf yang cukup besar, namun Indonesia belum dapat mengelola wakafnya dengan baik, Oleh karena itu kajian terkait perkembangan wakaf di Indonesia masih saja menjadi kajian yang menarik baik di kalangan akademisi maupun praktisi. Tujuan dari artikel ini adalah untuk mengkaji bagaimana perkembangan wakaf di Indonesia. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam makalah ini ialah kualitatif deskriptif. Penulis menemukan perkembangan wakaf di Indonesia sangat dinamis. Terlihat dari fenomena yang ada, dinamika fatwa wakaf dan pengembangan jenis aset yang diwakafkan semakin beragam. Pada awalnya, wakaf hanya berkubang pada aset tidak bergerak sepeti tanah, sekolah, pesantren, bangunan yang memiliki sifat statis. Diawali dengan undang-undang wakaf tahun 2004, benda wakaf bertransformasi menjadi wakaf tunai yang lebih bersifat praktis dan produktif. Disusul dengan pembentukan BWI pada tahun yang sama oleh Pemerintah menimbulkan peningkatan pengelolaan wakaf secara administratif.

Influence of Information Communication Technology Resources Adequacy and Utilization on Students` Academic Achievement in Public Secondary Schools in Kenya
Authors: Gatama Samwel Njenga , Otieno Mary A. , Waweru Samuel N.
Published: December 2022

The study purposed to provide empirical data on the status of Information Communication Technology (ICT) resources in terms of adequacy and utilization and their influence on academic performance in public secondary schools in Kenya. The concern was the large number of students that perpetually performed dismally in national exams and the wide performance variations between schools in the study locale yet investments and level of utilization of ICT resources as well as how this was influencing observed academic performance was not clear. The study adopted the ex-post facto research design and the Context- Inputs – Processes -Outputs (CIPO) model which is a systems theory approach to the determinants of learning outcomes and school effectiveness (Scheerens, 1991,2013). Target population constituted 386 principals,2316 heads of department (HoDs), and 4160 teachers in 386 schools. Sample size was derived from Kothari (2013) formula and constituted 192 principals,330 HoDs and 352 teachers however the fully filled and returned questionnaires were172 for principals ,330 for HoDs and 344 for Teachers. Main data collection method was Principals` questionnaire (r =.89), HoDs` questionnaire (r =.92) and teachers` questionnaire (r =.87). Both qualitative and quantitative data was collected where qualitative data was analyzed using thematic analysis while quantitative data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Due to data non-normality inferential statistics was done by use of Kruskal-Wallis H-test and Mann-Whitney U-test as the non-parametric alternatives to (one-way analysis of variance F-test and independent samples t-test) Findings of the study were that ICT resources investments varied widely between public secondary schools but generally and more perniciously, the level of ICT resource investment was woefully low. Computer availability in schools was the variable that influenced performance with highest effective size as it explained about 13% of the variation in academic achievement in the study area. The level of utilization of ICT resources varied between schools but was generally sub-optimal in most schools. Comparing ICT resource adequacy and level of ICT utilization as explanatory variables for academic achievement, it was found that the effect sizes of some of the ICT resources` level of utilization were higher than those for ICT resource adequacy. This implied that to significantly improve learning outcomes and reduce wide performance variations between schools, focus should not just be to invest in ICT resources adequacy in all the schools but also to ensure that all the ICT resources available in the schools are being optimally utilized.

This study employed a mediation analysis with 300 samples with a thorough interpretation of the data collected through statistical treatments (Mean, Pearson r, Med-graph using Sobel z-test). The findings of the study showed that there is a strong relationship between Instructional Leadership and Teacher Autonomous Behaviour. It was also revealed that Organizational Climate partially mediated the relationship between instructional leadership and the autonomous behavior of Talaingod Public-School Teachers. The result implies that giving opportunities for the teacher to have autonomy when it comes to the teaching-learning process is an integral part of being a great instructional leader.
The Conceptualizations of Intelligence Among the Tonga People of Southern Zambia: A Parental Perspective
Authors: Kaani Bestern , Machila Nisbert
Published: December 2022

This paper sought to describe the basic tenets of the concept of intelligence among Tonga parents of rural Zambia. Most researchers presume that what western schooling teaches and measured by intelligence tests is universal and fostered by all cultures around, therefore, failure to succeed in both constitutes non-intelligent behavior. Others argue that, although the concept of intelligence is universal, what each culture considers intelligent behavior is unique to the prevailing socioeconomic and cultural conditions. Using the realist ethnography method, eight parents were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire to provide narratives of both their lived childhood experiences and expectations of their children during and after school. The study revealed that Tonga parents make a clear distinction between being intelligent (kuba amaanu) and being unintelligent (kubula maanu). Being intelligent (kuba amaanu) is however, framed based on four core concepts – kumvwa (to follow instructions), kutumika (to be responsible), kusyomeka (to be trustworthy), and kucenjela (to be clever) – framed based on concepts of maanu (which may also be defined as cognition) and busongo (wisdom) constitute intelligent behavior.

Necmüddîn İlgâzî et-Türkmânî (ö.516/1122), Diyarbakır ve Mardin çevresinde 1102-1409 tarihleri arasında hüküm süren Artuklu Beyliği’nin kurucusu ve ilk hükümdarıdır. O, Büyük Selçuklu Devleti’nin iki büyük hükümdarı Alparslan (1064-1072) ve Melikşah’ın (1072-1092) önemli kumandanlarından Artuk Bey’in (ö.484/1091) oğludur. Emri altındaki Türkmen askerleri ile Selçuklu Devleti’ne bağlı veya bağımsız olarak pek çok muharebeye katılmıştır. Babasının ölümü ile Artukluların başına geçen İlgazi, Mardin merkezli “Tabaka-i İlgâziyye” adıyla anılan Mardin Artuklu hanedanını kurmuştur. Mardin Artuklu hanedanının bânisi olan İlgazi, Haçlı kuvvetleri ile giriştiği mücadeleler sonucunda İslam ve Hristiyan dünyasına adını duyurmayı başarmıştır. İlgazi, Halep Selçuklu Meliki Rıdvan’ın (1095-1113) ölümü ile başlayan hâkimiyet mücadelelerine son vermiş, şehirde asayişi sağladıktan sonra Haçlı tehdidi ve tehlikesine karşı önlemler almıştır. Gürcü Kralı II. David’in, Tiflis’te yaşayan Müslüman halka baskı uygulaması yüzünden bu bölgeye sefer tertipleyen Melik Tuğrul’un yanında Gürcistan Seferine katılmıştır. Gürcistan Seferinde uğradığı hezimet sonrası beylik merkezi olan Mardin’e çekilmiştir. Mardin’de bulunduğu sırada Halife Müsterşid-Billâh (1093-1135) ve Sultan Mahmud (1105-1131) ile arası açılmış olan damadı Dübeys b. Sadaka (1071-1135) kendisine sığınmıştır. İki liderin ikazlarına rağmen Dübeys’i teslim etmemiştir. Halep’te vekili olarak bıraktığı oğlu Süleyman’ın başlattığı isyanı bastırmış, hemen ardından Haçlılara karşı çıktığı son gazasında hastalanarak 1122 yılında Meyyâfârikîn’de vefat etmiştir. Mardin, Diyarbakır ve çevresinde hüküm süren bu Türkmen hanedanı 1409 yılında Karakoyunlu Kara Yûsuf’un bu bölgeleri ele geçirmesiyle yıkılmıştır. Çalışmamızda Büyük Selçuklu komutanlarından İlgazi’nin askerî faaliyetleri dönem kaynakları merkeze alınarak karşılaştırma metodu uygulanıp ortaya konulacaktır.

NEOLIBERALISMO, EMPRESA BRASILEIRA DE SERVIÇOS HOSPITALARES E BUROCRACIA
Authors: Nunes Paula Martins
Published: December 2022

Este ensaio teórico tem como objeto a Empresa Brasileira de Serviços Hospitalares (EBSERH) e sua estrutura burocrática. Ao fazer um resgate histórico do contexto político e econômico, nacional e internacional, que culminaram na criação da EBSERH, desenvolve uma reflexão a partir do surgimento da ideologia neoliberal, sua imposição aos países latino-americanos e seus efeitos na economia brasileira, o trabalho volta-se para as implicações que esta ideologia teve no SUS, através de uma Reforma Gerencial que flexibilizou a gestão dos serviços de saúde. Por fim, discute-se a estrutura burocrática da EBSERH a partir das contribuições teóricas de Prestes Motta, a partir de seus componentes: poder, controle e alienação. Por fim, ao realizar um paralelo entre a análise de Prestes Motta e o modelo de gestão proposto pela EBSERH, constata-se que a mesma é poder, controle e alienação, uma vez que subjacente ao discurso desburocratizador, produtivista e gerencialista, jaz uma estrutura de dominação ainda mais burocratizada.

Para la experiencia de organización comunitaria, se apuesta a una caracterización de la intervención de organismos externos y el Estado, pero partiendo del lugar de enunciación de las propias actoras. Se intenta aquí problematizar a las propuestas de planificación rural como procesos homogéneos y generalizados, durante el siglo XX.
Investigating Optimal Noise Level for Imperceptible Vibrotactile Stimulation during a Force Stability Task
Authors: Haynes Courtney , Tenan Matthew , Passaro Antony , Tweedell Andrew
Published: December 2022

Imperceptible vibratory noise stimulation has shown to improve stability for both whole body postural control and simple motor control tasks.  Noise stimulation is theorized to elicit a stochastic resonance-like effect within the somatosensory system, but there is disagreement in the literature regarding an optimal stimulation level for motor stability in humans.  To explore vibrotactile stimulation, eighteen (18) participants performed an isometric finger flexion task with visual feedback while receiving noise stimulation scaled to varying percentages of their sub-sensory threshold level.  Performance was quantified as the root-mean-square (RMS) error between the target force and the actual generated force values.  The goals of the study were to determine: 1) whether force stability is significantly better when receiving their custom “principal” stimulation compared to other sub-sensory stimulation levels, and 2) if an individual’s principal stimulation level may be predicted by either their maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) or sub-sensory threshold level.  A main effect of noise stimulation was observed (p < .001) indicating significantly better performance (lower RMS error) during the force stability task when individualized principal noise stimulation was applied.  At the group level, task performance was significantly improved with principal noise stimulation compared to other stimulation levels (p ≤ .019).  At the individual level, however, performance at the principal stimulation level was only significantly different than the distribution of errors for other stimulation levels for two individuals.  Moderate to strong Spearman correlations (rs = .56 and rs = .65, respectively) suggest principal stimulation level increases with MVC and sub-sensory threshold.

Research into better and more improved biomaterials is at the forefront of modern biomedicine. A calcium phosphate compound known as Hydroxyapatite is one of the most bioactive and biocompatible osteoconductive ceramic materials currently known to man. It occurs naturally in the bones, teeth, and shells of some animals and the leaves, and stalks of some plants. It can also be synthesized artificially. Eggshells are very prominent sources of Hydroxyapatite and currently constitute waste, and environmental pollution due to ineffective, wrong, and incorrect disposal. In this research, two modified variants of the wet chemical precipitation method were used to produce hydroxyapatite from chicken eggshells gotten from the same source. The obtained samples were then characterized using XRD and SEM. The results of the characterization were analyzed to determine the most efficient, cost-effective, and less tedious method of production. It was discovered that although the orthophosphoric acid-based wet precipitation method was more efficient in producing phase pure hydroxyapatite, the nitric acid-based wet chemical precipitation method was found to be better than the orthophosphoric-based wet chemical precipitation method in terms of particle size, agglomeration, elemental analysis, and other observed properties.

Foaming of polyurethane with the use of synthetic materilas as suitable additives remain a major setback for polyurethane foams. Hence, granite and feldspar are selected as the fillers, pulverized and sieved to ˂90 µm and are randomly dispersed into the polyurethane matrix. The matrix constituents were mixed in the same ratio while fillers were introduced via a one-shot system approach in predetermined proportions of 3-7 wt%. The work was carried out to identify optimum fillers to be utilized in the production of rigid polyurethane foams given the effect of the fillers on the microstructural characterisation, rheological and water absorption properties of the foams. SEM, XRF and FTIR analysis were used characterize the foams while rheological and water absorption tests are also carried out. The presence of the fillers in the foam showed a rupture in the structure of the foams with the cells having similar arrangements. The cream, gel, rise, and the tack-free time was delayed with the presence of the filler particles. It was discovered that 7 wt% feldspar addition enhances the cream and gel time while 3 wt% granite enhance rise and tack free time, respectively in the optima conditions. It was discovered that the two fillers had inverse effects on the rheological properties. The addition of granite and feldspar degrades the sulfonic acid groups and promoted the appearance of Si-O stretching vibration band

Cocoyam is cultivated mainly for its edible cormels. In spite of its great potential as a cheap raw material, the processing operations are still largely performed manually. Some of the equipment already developed for mechanizing the postharvest operations require further modifications and performance optimization. This study therefore, aimed at developing and evaluating the performance of a cocoyam cormel peeling machine with a view to reducing the drudgery involved in manual peeling. A cocoyam cormel peeling machine was developed using locally available materials. The machine consists of the main frame, hopper and outlet gates, two abrasive concentric drums (one stationary and the other rotating) and blower. Performance of the machine in terms of capacity, peeling efficiency and peel-cormel weight proportion were evaluated for soaked and unsoaked cormels. The average machine capacities were 190 and 220 kg/h for soaked and unsoaked cormels, respectively. The peeling efficiencies ranged between 57.3 and 77.7% while the peel-cormel weight proportions ranged between 13.7 and 18.7%. The peeling efficiency was higher for soaked cormels than unsoaked ones. The developed cocoyam cormel peeling machine helped in reducing the drudgery associated with its peeling operation while soaking as a form of pretreatment was recommended before peeling the cormels for better performance.

The petroleum industry is faced with measurement problem. This problem could be attributed to low value of petroleum products derived at the time of installation. However, over the years, with increasing crude oil prices of associated petroleum products, there is need to ensure that cargoes loaded and discharged are measured more accurately with minimum loses. Hence, this research focuses on development of an empirical model for oil cargo quantity shipment, discrepancies determinations in Nigerian oil and gas sector. In order to achieve the objectives of this research, collection of data of past shipping activities were carried out. The data collected were statistically analyzed using MATLAB and model was developed as well as a discrepancy predictive software, using Visual Basis Software. The volume correction factor (VCF), a factor used in converting crude oil volume at tank temperature to volume at standard temperature 15oC was determined. The weight correction factor (WCF), a factor used in converting volume of crude oil in barrels to weight in long tons was generated through a model which can be used to get the corresponding weight correction factor at different temperatures. A comparison was done between the results generated from the developed software and the certificate of quantity COQ of crude oil obtained from the Department of Petroleum Resources in the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, Nigeria (July 2019). It was found out that 80 metric ton valued at N12,000,000.00 of crude oil was lost due to the miscalculation of the transported crude oil. With the aid of this software, similar errors in crude oil shipment can be detected and minimized.

Published: December 2022

A comparative study was carried out on biogas production potential of plantain peels and rotten onion blended with poultry droppings. Three digesters labeled A, B and C were fabricated with Digester A fed with a mixture of rotten onion and poultry droppings (OP) in a ratio 1:1, Digester B fed with a mixture of plantain peels and poultry droppings (PP) also in the same ratio but Digester C fed in a ratio 1:2:1 of rotten onion, plantain peels and poultry droppings (OPP). The rate of production over a retention period of 40 days was measured using a digital weighing balance to measure the weight of gas retained in each of the circular rubber tube connected to each digester. The effect of the variation in average daily temperature on biogas yield of each feedstock was also analyzed. The co-digestion of rotten onion, plantain peels and poultry droppings yielded most with value of 705.5 g compared to either of plantain peels and rotten onion blended with poultry droppings which has cumulative gas yield of 348.1 g and 199.9 g respectively. It can be concluded that the blending of poultry droppings with agricultural wastes will greatly improve biogas yield.

A locally developed autogenous single screw extruder was used to investigate the process for screw extrusion of the flour and starch of cassava, in a bid to find alternate uses for the commodity. The experiment was conducted with a factorial design and completely randomized.  Analysis of Variance and Tukey Honestly Significant Difference methods were utilized as follow up test  to check the result of extrusion variables: feed moisture (25, 30, 40%) and extruder temperature built up by varying the duration of sampling (2, 10, 18, 24, 30 minutes) on some product quality attributes and system parameters. The product quality attributes considered include water absorption index (WAI) and water solubility index (WSI), product moisture (PQ_MC), transverse expansion (ExR), cold and hot paste viscosities (CPV and HPV), Melt viscosity (MV) and strength properties of extrudates (CP) while the system parameters are product temperature (PT), mean residence time (MRT), and specific energy input (SME). All system parameters PT, MRT and SME varied directly with duration of operation. Also, PQ_MC, CP, WAI, WSI, MV, CPV and HPV varied reciprocally whereas ExR, and MV varied directly with duration of operation. The extrudates’ water loss is directly proportional with ExR. It was observed that extruded cassava starch was less stable than cassava flour extrudates. Moreover, the specific end uses to which the extruded products can be put were identified. All the treatments and their interactions are highly significant (P ≤ 0.001).
