Authors: Telechi Danilo dos Santos , Duarte Glaucius Décio
Published: June 2024

As mudanças que estão acontecendo no mundo do trabalho impactam em algumas carreiras profissionais na construção civil. No campo político, a criação do Conselho Federal dos Técnicos Industriais (CFT), em 2018, conferiu plena autonomia às carreiras técnicas de nível médio. As tecnologias disruptivas que se incorporam ao cenário atual podem modificar os papeis profissionais estabelecidos, bem como, reconfigurar os currículos de formação e os cursos. A mudança de Institucionalidade experimentada pela Rede Federal, em 2008, provoca uma reflexão sobre os rumos a seguir. Neste contexto de mudanças, refletiu-se sobre o papel da Escola na valorização das carreiras técnicas de nível médio, com foco no curso Técnico em Edificações. Neste artigo, como recorte da dissertação de mestrado em que se pesquisou essa temática, se apresenta a busca realizada na história do curso Técnico em Edificação do Câmpus Pelotas do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia Sul-rio-grandense (IFSul). Nela, se procurou evidências de ações implementados que ajudavam na valorização da carreira técnica entre os estudantes da época. A partir das evidências documentais encontradas, pode-se fazer uma reflexão sobre possíveis linhas de ação para a instituição escolar (pontos-chaves), dadas as mudanças apontadas, na perspectiva de propor a construção de um discurso de valorização e maior autonomia do profissional técnico em Edificações. Os pontos-chaves apresentados neste estudo, conforme evidências documentais, foram, no campo político, o resgate do “orgulho pela arte de construir” e o protagonismo Institucional no campo profissional. No campo tecnológico, a atualização técnica de docentes e estudantes, e no campo Institucional, a formação de parcerias com empresas e Instituições, em especial, com o CFT.
Enhancing the methods used to evaluate the competitiveness of commercial banks

Published: June 2024

Scientific novelty of this study is determined by the fact that the assessment of the bank's competitiveness is carried out in the context of financial stability. In international financial organisations (which include banks), the financial stability of a bank is understood as an effective ability to distribute financial resources, ensure financial risk management (which is what banks do). This approach to determining the financial stability of a bank is also used in the study – the essence of financial stability reflects the state of financial resources and the degree of their use. Consequently, stability is also assessed through the balance of sources of flows of attracted financial resources, which are basic for the functioning of the bank and flows that determine the directions of use of such resources. The practical significance of the study is conditioned by the fact that the financial stability of a bank determines its ability to constantly develop, which is a gradual, dynamic movement in a competitive market within the framework of the chosen strategy.
Redefining responsible consumption decent work: Insights from the second-hand industry in Uzbekistan
Authors: Marcombe Anne-Charlotte , Sayfullaev Khumoyun , Islamova Nadira
Published: June 2024

The goal of this paper is to examine how the practices of small businesses engaged in acquiring, repairing, and reselling second-hand goods in Uzbekistan can contribute insights for shaping policies related to responsible consumption and decent work. Employing Gibson-Graham's method of reading for difference, this project aims to portray the diversity of the second-hand industry in Tashkent and reframe the narrative on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to render them more inclusive and performance-oriented. Data for the paper were gathered through a focus group and structured interviews with Uzbek entrepreneurs in four neighborhoods of Tashkent. The interview findings reveal that, beyond income and job security, entrepreneurs in Uzbekistan's second-hand industry highly value being self-employed and the connections their work allows them to establish with their customers. Moreover, this article underscores that responsible consumption is a dynamic concept primarily reliant on accessibility, creativity, and connectivity with one's surroundings and social network.

Authors: Sanjaya Daniel , Arief Mts , Juli Setiadi Nugroho , Heriyati Pantri
Published: June 2024

Tourist behavior can have detrimental effects on eco-destinations, such as littering or starting fires. Digital green marketing campaigns and tourist beliefs, however, can influence visitor behavior. Using quantitative analysis, this study examines the role of digital green marketing campaigns and the visitors' beliefs about the environment on tourist pro-environmental behavior and their desire to revisit eco-destinations. The study was conducted by distributing an online survey to 306 respondents who have visited five ecotourism destinations in Indonesia. The acquired data was examined using the PLS-SEM (Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling) approach. The study found that digital green marketing campaign and tourists' beliefs about the environment positively impact tourists' environmental behavior and their desire to revisit eco-destinations. The tourism ecosystem, however, does not strengthen the relationship between tourist pro-environmental behavior and the revisit intention to eco-destinations. This study will add to the literature by examining the relationship between digital green marketing campaigns, visitors' environmental beliefs, pro-environmental behavior, tourism ecosystems, and revisiting intention to eco-destinations. The study will also provide Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs) with specific recommendations to promote their eco-destinations, encouraging responsible travel and returning visits.
Determinants of Halal Business Practices in Muslim Minority Countries: Evidence from Finland
Authors: Husaeni Uus Ahmad , Ayoob Mohammed Ashfaq
Published: June 2024

Halal business practices are developing in majority-Muslim countries and within companies in Muslim minority countries such as Finland. It consistently shows an interest in developing the halal industry, as evidenced by the development of companies that practice halal business in these countries. This study examines the factors influencing halal company practices while offering halal goods or services in Finland, a nation with a large Muslim population. The surveys were given online and offline to Finnish businesses that have achieved halal certification as a data collection strategy. PLS-SEM, or partial least square-structural equation modeling, was used to analyze data from 32 replies. This study found that halal values and the spirit of innovation encourage Finnish companies to enter the halal business. In addition, companies' halal business practices in Finland are strongly influenced by the interaction between internal and external driving factors. Businesses in nations where Muslims make up the minority can be encouraged to engage in halal commerce in several ways. Individuals who are aware of halal's advantages, are drawn to innovation, are under external pressure to conduct halal business and have internal circumstances that allow them to view the halal business phenomena as a chance to advance their nation's commercial interests.

Published: June 2024

Purse seine or purse seine is one of the dominant fishing tools for catching pelagic (surface) fish which operates by circling schools (schooling) of fish. In the process of circling a school of fish, the bottom must be crimped immediately and quickly using a crimping rope or what is usually called a "drawstring" so that the fish remain in the circle and do not escape. This research was conducted from August to October 2019 on the north coast of Pekalongan, Java Sea. The application of hydraulically powered capstan axle crimp rope pulling machines on small scale vessels is expected to increase effectiveness, operational safety and efficiency of time and energy. Especially for purse seine ships <30GT and can increase catches which in turn can increase fishermen's income. Based on the test results, it was found that the driving diesel RPM without a pulling load = 1303 / 1530 RPM; Maximum RPM of the winding capstan spool when without a pulling load = 45 / 51.5 RPM; Maximum speed of winding capstan spools without tension load = 40.5 / 58.5 meters/minute; RPM of the driving diesel when pulling the purse seine line = 1500 RPM; Maximum RPM of the capstan winder spool when pulling the purse seine line at an average load = 43.2 RPM; Maximum RPM of the capstan winder spool when pulling the heaviest load (maximum) purse seine crimp rope = 40.1 RPM; Maximum pulling speed of the towing machine at the average load of pulling the purse seine crimp rope = 40.07 meters/minute; Maximum pulling speed of the towing machine when the heaviest load is pulling the purse seine crimp rope = 37.2 meters/minute; Load towing capability = detected ± 1000kg.

Published: June 2024

Fish bones are a by-product or waste from fish processing, both on a small and large scale. Many efforts have been made to utilize these bones by converting them into bone meal. The use of the pressure hydrolysis method in the production of fish bone meal can produce high-quality products. This study aimed to determine the quality of the mackerel tuna bone meal using the pressure hydrolysis method. The data obtained were then discussed descriptively and qualitatively. The results showed that the pressure hydrolysis method effectively produced mackerel tuna bone meal. The highest yield of mackerel tuna bone meal was obtained in the TT2 treatment with a heating time of 2 hours. The bone meal produced had moisture content ranging from 6.58% to 8.76%, ash content ranging from 96.86% to 98.82%, and organoleptic values such as odor, texture, and color were acceptable to the panelists. During storage for 3 days at room temperature, there was mold growth of Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus penicillium in the range of 1.25×102 to 1.45×102 colonies per gram and met the minimum standards set by the Indonesian National Standard (SNI).
Influence of Oceanographic Parameters on The Results of The Catch of Squid (Loligo sp.) in The Java Sea (WPP-RI 712)
Authors: Fahrezy Muhammad Alief Rizky , Perangin-angin Robet , Istrianto Kadi , Soepardi Soegiono
Published: June 2024

Information on oceanographic conditions is an important aspect to pay attention to because it is closely related to the existence of abundant squid resources. Most types of squid make seasonal migrations in response to changes in temperature. Squids will look for a place to attach their eggs under certain oceanographic conditions, such as the right salinity and water depth. Data collection was carried out primarily in the field using a 5 in 1 salinometer and secondarily using the AQUA MODIS satellite. Sea surface temperatures observed from the end of March to the beginning of May experienced a slow increase in temperature from day to day. Regarding water salinity, the data obtained is that the further out to sea, the greater the salinity tends to be. In chlorophyll a, there was a significant increase in March with the highest distribution. The influence of the measured oceanographic parameters on the number of squid catches, after chlorophyll-a cross-correlation was carried out, was 36.5% or a fairly strong correlation and the other 63.5% was estimated to influence other factors in the form of light, bulla, water depth, and current strength, as well as the crew's skills in operating fishing gear.

A THEORETICAL SUGGESTION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SAFETY CULTURE: CIVIL AVIATION CONTEXT
Authors: Olcen Olcay
Published: June 2024

Purpose - This paper aims to place aviation safety culture on three pillars theoretically, and by doing so, to distill findings. By more clear words, It tries to give a more detailed explanation of the concept of safety and safety sciences. Regardless of the business branches, safety should be an important branch, depending on its clear importance in aviation, maritime, health and engineering and more technical sciences to give a clear insight into safety another purpose.
Methodology - Methodologically, the differences between the communities of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft of Tönnies and epistêmê and technê discrimination of Greek philosophy pave the way for Habermas’s Communicative Action Theory to create a cultural form that is exemplified as safety culture in civil aviation depending on the increasing impacts of the communication and communication networks. In the end, it concludes that the safety culture of civil aviation can be explained with this type of theoretical background and this methodology can be utilised in other industrial branches and sciences.
Findings- The main findings of this research can be collected in two groups. One of them is directly related to the creation of a cultural form (safety culture) and its main features by theoretical means, the other one is the evaluation of these theoretical means to the specific ends in a specific business branch, so civil aviation.
Conclusion- Through these ways, the importance of communication, sociological heritage and knowledge forms in aviation safety culture will be more theoretically understandable which is a complementary recipe of the research gap. On the other side, and in clearer words, safety is one of the great problems of humankind and business life. Like many other concepts such as security, the importance of heritage, culture, transmission and transportation of knowledge will be more understandable with these kinds of papers or works.
THE INFLUENCE OF CULTURAL NORMS ON FINANCIAL EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN IN UGANDA S MICRO AND SMALL ENTERPRISES
Authors: Nabasirye Massy , Kyomuhangi-Manyindo Eldred M. , Namuddu Regis
Published: June 2024

Purpose- The concept of women’s financial empowerment has gained great attention worldwide. However, little attention has been given to this issue in the Ugandan context. The study was, therefore, initiated due to the increasing financial empowerment challenges being faced by women operating in the informal sector’s micro and small enterprises. The primary objective of the study was to investigate the effect of cultural of cultural factors on the financial empowerment of women in the informal micro and small businesses in Kampala, Uganda’s capital and largest city.
Methodology- The study adopted a qualitative research design in which 50 women in the five divisions of Kampala were interviewed. Data collected was analysed using thematic analysis supported by the Atlastti software.
Findings- The study reveals that cultural factors affected the financial empowerment of women in informal businesses. This was in the form of restrictions on which businesses they could engage in, patriarchal cultural practices, limited access to education facilities and restrictions on land and property ownership and inheritance. Religion stood out as the most prevalent component of culture that affected these women by dictating both the kind of business and the type of products that they traded in.
Conclusion- We conclude that cultural norms play a significant role in shaping the opportunities and challenges faced by women in terms of financial empowerment. These norms are deeply ingrained in societies and can either facilitate or hinder women's access to economic resources, education, employment, and financial decision-making. Cultural beliefs of putting women second to men still affect the quest to become financially empowered for the women in the informal MSEs of Uganda. There is, therefore, still a need for the government and other non-government organisations to develop several initiatives tailored to particularly financially empower women in the informal sector of the MSEs in Uganda.
PREPAYMENT AND DEFAULT RISK: A REVIEW
Authors: Tuysuz Sukriye
Published: June 2024

Purpose- The main purpose of this article is to make a comprehensive review of existing studies on prepayment and default (competing risk). This review enables to shed light on the main determinant of prepayment and default as well as on methods used to model competing risk.
Methodology- A comprehensive review of existing studies/articles.
Findings- More recently proposed machine learning methods (Random Survival Forest and Random Competing Risks Forests, as well as the DeepHit model and Dynamic DeepHit model) enable to take into account the complex/no-linear response of prepayment and default to their determinant more efficiently.
Conclusion- To model properly/correctly the prepayment and default risks it is important to consider the fact that the exercise of the prepayment option brings an end to the default option, and vice versa. These both risks should be modelled together: competing risk. Furthermore, models/methods accounting the complex/no-linear impact of explanatory variables on prepayment and default risks should be used; such as the Random Survival Forest and Random Competing Risks Forests, as well as the DeepHit model and Dynamic DeepHit model.

Authors: Gokoglan Kadir , Sevim Huseyin
Published: June 2024

Purpose- Although artificial intelligence technology is a new technology, it affects every aspect of our lives by finding a very fast field of activity. Artificial intelligence technology, which also shows its effect in the field of finance, is seen to have many applications. There are many alternatives in the investment markets, it will take a long time to make a profit in the markets and a certain amount of knowledge is required. People cannot master the data in all markets when they will invest, but technological developments provide the opportunity to invest by storing each data or observing their changes. This study aims to investigate the effects of artificial intelligence technology on individual investor decisions.
Methodology- The study consists of individual investors who live in Diyarbakır province and generally make investments. The questionnaire prepared in accordance with the scope of the study was applied to 1800 participants using face-to-face survey method. The 22 statements prepared in accordance with the scope of the study were applied to the participants. The questionnaires that 1616 participants answered correctly and accurately were included in the scope of the study. In order to ensure the reliability of the study statements, Cronbach's Alpha was calculated and this rate was determined as 91%. The answers given to the study statements were transferred to the tables as a result of the analyses. The transferred information was tried to be interpreted. In addition, frequency tables, t-test and anaova analysis were used in the analysis of the study data.
Findings- Thanks to artificial intelligence algorithms, which is one of this technology, it analyses the data in the market and enables the investor who wants to invest to trade in the market by giving buy and sell orders. Thus, artificial intelligence technology allows the investor to make more profitable investments by guiding the investor.
Conclusion- As a result, it is possible to say that the individual investors participating in the research do not have sufficient knowledge about artificial intelligence technologies, but they have an interest in investing using artificial intelligence technologies. In addition, it has been determined that the older the age, the lower the education level, the higher the income level and the married investors are insecure about investing using artificial intelligence technology.
EXAMINING THE NEXUS BETWEEN CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY DISCLOSURE AND EARNINGS MANAGEMENT: EVIDENCE FROM THE STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES OF BANGLADESH
Authors: Sobhan Raihan , Sharmin Touhida
Published: June 2024

Purpose- The purpose of the study is to examine the association between corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure and the practice of earnings management in the listed state-owned enterprises (SOEs) of Bangladesh.
Methodology- All the listed SOEs (17 firms) of Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) for the years 2017-2022 were considered in the study, resulting in observations of 102 firm-years. Content analysis was used to assess the level of CSR disclosure in the annual reports. For measuring earnings management, Beneish M-score model was used as the proxy variable. To investigate the association between CSR disclosure and earnings management, multivariate regression analysis was conducted using pooled OLS model, random effects model and lag model.
Findings- The regression outcomes of the study found a positive and significant association between CSR disclosure and earnings management. This study shows how managers can use CSR disclosures as a competitive advantage by manipulating earnings while also fostering positive relationships with stakeholders.
Conclusion- Investors and governments alike are increasingly demanding ethical business practices and full disclosure from corporations. The study concludes that managers' opportunistic behavior is a primary motivation for using CSRD to cover their tracks. This study will provide valuable insights to the policy-makers, regulators, investors and other stakeholders on how CSR reporting can be used as a medium to hide management’s manipulative practices and, why it is important to implement a more comprehensive guideline on CSR reporting and effective governance to eliminate such practices.
Digital Currency in Modern Russia: Legal Essence and Place in Turnover
Authors: Goncharov Alexander , Sadkov Andrey , Sadkov Vitaly , Davudov Davud
Published: June 2024

The information society of our time is characterized by large-scale and intensive use of computer technologies in most areas of economic relations. Many procedures of interaction between people and business entities are computerized and digitized. Remote technologies used on the Internet allow groups of people, in particular, to perform mathematical calculations and use the data obtained in the interests of participants in such collective calculations. The totality of such electronic data in the Russian Federation is legitimized as a digital currency. The legal content and place of digital currency in property turnover and the system of its state regulation seems to be an actual object of research and development. The article solves the following tasks based on the study of domestic legislation and academic publications: the legal content of digital currency as encrypted information and the type of other property is substantiated; legislative constructions providing for the functioning of digital currency as a means of payment and investment are analyzed; qualitative features of digital currency inherent in the object of civil rights are identified. Digital currency is studied as a set of electronic data and information, the author’s definition of digital currency is presented. Digital currency in circulation is disclosed as encrypted information, settlement and exchange equivalent and investment asset. The fallacy of the legislative recognition of digital currency as a means of payment is argued. The legal constructions on the possibility of using digital currency as an investment are critically evaluated. The features of turnover and the development of regulatory regulation of digital currency in the Russian legal order are analyzed. A legal analysis of the parliamentary bill on the “mining” of digital currencies is being carried out. The essence is substantiated; the definition of activities aimed at obtaining digital currencies by mathematical calculations on private computers is formulated. Digital currency is considered as a kind of other property, the conclusion is made about the possibility of recognizing the “coin” of digital currency as an object of civil rights. The article examines the modern doctrinal developments of mainly Russian researchers on the subject of exploration, as well as encyclopedic and normative sources. Proposals are being made to improve the legal regulation of public relations in the field of property turnover of digital currency.

Çanakkale Cephesi 19 Şubat 1915 tarihinde açılmış 18 Mart 1915 Boğaz Muharebesi ile ilk aşamasını tamamlamıştır. Ancak Müttefiklerin Çanakkale’yi denizden geçme umudunu bu defa karaya asker çıkarma süreci ile yeni bir deneme izlemiştir. Bu haliyle 25 Nisan 1915 tarihinde Çanakkale kara muharebeleri başlamıştır. Bu muharebeler ilk andan itibaren siper savaşlarına dönüşen bir hâl almış ve bu durum muharebelerin sona ermesine kadar devam etmiştir. Bu nedenle taraflar siper yapımına ve buna bağlı olarak siper hatlarının genişletilmesine âzamî özen göstermiştir.
Çanakkale muharebe sahasında siper yapım faaliyetleri Trablusgarp Savaşı’ndan başlamış Balkan Savaşları dönemi ile önemli oranda şekillenmiş ancak esas ve son halini Çanakkale Cephesi’nin açılması ile almıştır. Çanakkale kara muharebeleri ile birlikte bölgeye intikal eden her birliğin günlük rutinleri arasında siper yapımı ya da tamiri yer almaya başlamıştır. Bu bağlamda 19. Tümen de kara muharebeleri öncesinde cephe gerisinde başladığı siper yapım faaliyetlerine muharebe ön hattına sokulduğu andan itibaren de devam ettirmiştir.
Bu çalışmada, Çanakkale Cephesi’ndeki sağlık hizmetleri, harp cerideleri, harp raporları, birlik tarihçeleri merkezinde incelenmeye çalışılacaktır.
O trabalho psicanalítico em um hospital público brasileiro: considerações teórico-clínicas. Considerações teórico-clínicas
Authors:   Pontificia Universidad Católica de Minas Gerais, Sales de Araujo Ronaldo
Published: June 2024

O artigo é o resultado de uma pesquisa acadêmica, no nível de mestrado, sobre o trabalho do psicanalista em um hospital público brasileiro. Considera-se urgente refletir sobre os riscos da exaltação do saber científico, no contexto hospitalar, que não leve em conta outros fatores envolvidos na produção de uma doença: como os sociais, econômicos, políticos e subjetivos. A metodologia elegida foi a vinheta clínica proposta no arcabouço teórico da psicanálise, em especial por Freud e Lacan. Os resultados evidenciaram que o trabalho psicanalítico no hospital seria acolher o sujeito, porque, ao falar, ele expõe suas fantasias, constrói um saber possível sobre sua doença e seu corpo, em uma tentativa de articular a palavra ao real do corpo. Ademais, uma possibilidade de o sujeito ser agenciador de discursos e, consequentemente, protagonista no seu tratamento hospitalar.
El problema del trabajo en el pensamiento de Freud
Authors:   Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo, Hernández Delgado Rigoberto
Published: June 2024

Este artículo aborda el problema del trabajo en el pensamiento de Freud. El tema se explora a partir de una serie de señalamientos y de nociones esparcidas en numerosos textos freudianos, tanto en aquellos que abordan cuestiones de orden clínico, como también en otros que tratan problemas metapsicológicos y, sobre todo, en los textos sobre reflexiones de orden social y cultural. En un primer momento se analizan las concepciones metapsicológicas de Freud acerca del principio de realidad y su influencia en la constitución de un polo psíquico que orienta al sujeto hacia la realidad y lo prepara para la actividad productiva. Después, analizamos la relación entre trabajo y cultura, así como las relaciones entre el trabajo y el surgimiento de la neurosis y el malestar psíquico. Posteriormente se reflexiona acerca de las posibilidades que la sublimación ofrece para propiciar una satisfacción pulsional en la actividad productiva. Finalmente, se concluye planteando algunas ideas acerca de la relación entre la cultura contemporánea y el trabajo como productores de un tipo específico de malestar subjetivo.

An alternative solution to the problem of power service continuity associated to fault location is presented in this paper, by using a methodology of statistical nature based on finite mixtures. A statistical model which helps to locate the faulted zone, is obtained from the extraction of the magnitude of the voltage sag registered during a fault event, along with the network parameters and topology. The objective is to offer an economic alternative of easy implementation for the development of strategies oriented to improve the reliability from the reduction of the restoration times in power distribution systems. As results presented for an application example in a 25kV system, the faulted zones were identified, having low error rates.

The Hangzhou Asian Games, a key international sports event in 2023, provides China with an opportunity to showcase its global standing, following the Beijing Olympic Games and Shanghai World Expo. Zhejiang Gongshang University's Culture and Sports Centre serves as the handball competition venue, with about 1,200 teachers and volunteers engaged across various Asian Games sites. Despite this, the university's media impact falls short compared to peers in Hangzhou with Asian Games venues. This research explores the news production practices of universities during large-scale international sports events, focusing on improving Zhejiang Gongshang University's media coverage and influence. Utilizing in-depth interviews and The Uses and Gratifications theory, the study analyzes news production related to the Asian Games on the university's official website, social media, and newspapers. Interviews include both producers and audiences of this news.Findings indicate a disconnect between media reports and the diverse needs of media users, with news production primarily driven by informational and promotional objectives. Recommendations include diversifying themes and forms of media coverage, enhancing creativity and interactivity, adopting a proactive and strategic approach to media communication, and leveraging new media platforms for more engaging content.

This study aims to probe the practicality of ethical school leadership amid socio-political and economic turmoil. This was necessitated by the collapse of the Zimbabwean economy in 2000 up until 2009 when they abandoned their currency due to hyperinflation. The downturn of the economy has not been abated to date, and education, together with other social services has been affected tremendously. The objective of this study is to find out the practicality of school leadership amid social, political, and economic turmoil, such as the one prevailing in Zimbabwe. Based on the findings, the study aims to suggest ways of dealing with ethical school leadership in such an environment. A qualitative study was conducted involving two primary and two secondary schools, where four school heads and sixteen teachers constituted the sample. Semi-structured interviews and focus group interviews were conducted. The findings indicated that school heads and teachers are finding it very difficult to practice ethical school leadership in the environment prevailing in Zimbabwe. This paper proposes that ethical leadership be promoted in these schools through engaging the 'reusable past' from their African Indigenous Knowledge and additionally applying a multi-dimensional and multi-sectoral intervention strategy to bring sustainable and practical change.

This qualitative study explores the intricate dynamics between students' passion for music and their motivation in higher education music performance classes. Guided by Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), the research involves in-depth interviews with fifteen undergraduate music performance majors. The study identifies five pivotal themes shaping students' motivation. The theme of personal music connections emphasises the profound impact of individualised relationships with music, highlighting the significance of nurturing personal and emotional dimensions within musical connections. Exposure to diverse musical styles emerges as a transformative factor, broadening students' musical horizons and significantly influencing their motivation. Involvement in extracurricular music activities is identified as a powerful motivator, providing real-world experiences that enhance students' passion for music performance. The theme of supportive interactions highlights the critical role played by educators, peers, and the overall learning environment in shaping students' motivation. Cultivating a strong personal bond with music accentuates the profound impact of an individualised and emotionally resonant connection with music on students' motivation within the educational context. These findings underscore the vital role of cultivating enthusiasm, providing diverse musical experiences, and fostering supportive environments to enhance motivation in higher education music performance classes. The implications extend to educators, enabling them to design more engaging and effective music programs, enriching the overall educational experience for students.

Published: June 2024

The South African Basic Education System does little to provide skills, needed to survive outside the schooling system, for those who do not wish to pursue post-secondary school education. The education system produces secondary school graduates who are poised, as content carriers and an un-employable labour force. A research question grappled with in this paper is whether this secondary school curriculum design inherited from the colonial formal education system is beneficial for South African learners? The paper argues that the continuation of the provision of this curriculum is tantamount to contributing very little to the national educational strategic goals of creating a skilled workforce needed to run the South African economy. Additionally, this also contributes to the exacerbation of the unemployment in South Africa. From a decolonial point of view, the paper provides a comprehensive overview of the basic education curriculum from the colonial period until the contemporary period and shows how it has contributed to huge numbers of job-seekers visa-versa employees and subservient of the curriculum design and schooling system. Methodologically, this paper is informed by a qualitative research approach in the form of document review. The research revealed four major important elements in decolonization of the school curriculum namely; history lesson, social justice and self-determination, formulation and execution of the protection of indigenous knowledge systems and promoting the significance of indigenous languages and use.
