Sexual Harassment, Sexual Violence, and Mental Health Outcomes: Causal Inference with Ambiguous Exposures
Authors: Johansson Fred , Magnusson Kristoffer
Published: November 2023

Social exposures and their impact on mental health has proven hard to capture, partly owing to the complex and multifaceted nature of the social reality. Sexual harassment and sexual violence (SHV) are no exceptions. SHV can be conceptualized as a continuum of negative sexual experiences whose severity varies depending on multiple determinants (type of SHV, frequency, power relations, etc.). Further, exposure to SHV may be conceptualized either as discrete exposures (i.e., experiences of specific SHV events) or as exposure to a sexually hostile environment, often represented by a latent variable reflected by patters of SHV events. With any of these conceptualizations, SHV constitutes a broad construct containing many kinds of negative experiences. The ambiguity of SHV pose a challenge when attempting to determine its mental health consequences, as different forms of SHV may vary in terms of their mental health impact. In this article we use the potential outcomes framework to discuss the conceptualization of SHV in relation to mental health outcomes, focusing on the consistency condition. We discuss limitations and possible interpretations of estimates of the causal effect of SHV on mental health, both when SHV are conceptualized as discrete exposures and when conceptualized as one or several latent variables. We present the recently developed multiple versions of treatment theory and show how it can provide a formal interpretation of causal estimates under ambiguous exposures. Lastly, we provide suggestions on how the increase the clarity and interpretability of estimates of the effects of SHV on mental health, by increasing the precision of the causal questions and the use of more specific definitions of SHV exposures.

Relationship between climate change belief and water conservation behaviors: Is there a role for political identity?
Authors: Vuong Quan-Hoang , Li Dan , La Viet-Phuong , Duong Thi Minh-Phuong , Nguyen Minh-Hoang
Published: November 2023

In the United States, public opinions about climate change have become polarized, with a stark difference in the belief in climate change. Climate change denialism is pervasive among Republicans, especially conservatives, contrasting the high recognition of human-induced climate change issues among Democrats. As the water crisis is closely linked to climate change, the current study aims to examine how the belief in climate change’s impacts on future water supply uncertainty affects water conservation behaviors and whether the effect is conditional on being a Republican. The Bayesian Mindsponge Framework (BMF) analytics was performed on a dataset of 1831 water users in an arid region (Albuquerque, New Mexico). The analysis shows that water users’ belief in climate change’s impacts on future water supply uncertainty positively affects the number of water conservation behaviors they adopt, regardless of whether they are Republicans. Although being a Republican does not significantly negatively moderate the association between climate change belief and water conservation behaviors, the result still underscores the importance of fighting climate change denialism. Otherwise, it will not only hinder the climate change alleviation efforts but also exacerbate the water crisis. Several strategies to reduce climate change denialism are also recommended.

Reframing Relationships Between Humans and the Earth: The "Anthropocene", a New Ideology to Justify the Status Quo?
Authors: Pilon André Francisco
Published: November 2023

The evils attributed to the “Anthropocene” are not the responsibility of all humanity; the main culprits, who have the political and economic power to shape the forms of production and consumption and define lifestyles, must be distinguished from the majority of the population, whose power to change things cannot be compared with those. “Systemic” interpretations, supported by theories of “complexity” and the “Anthropocene” as a new era in human history, may inadvertently obscure the role and effective action of people and groups that control economics and politics in today's world, who find an easy excuse to decline their responsibilities in the destinies of humanity.
Talent, excellence and practice

Published: November 2023

We analyze the dynamic change process in chess skill acquisition across 7 years of 72,022 amateur and professional chess players from 170 countries. The findings show that age is negatively related with the change in performance over time, whereas practice is positively related, albeit with a lower impact as levels of expertise increase. During the considered time window (a) 96% (n = 68,974) of the analyzed players did not show any substantive change, (b) 4% (n = 2,683) experienced a meaningful qualitative change revealing larger and homogeneous quantifiable gains than those remaining at the same expert level, and (c) 0.4% of the players (n = 283) experienced the greatest expert jump, from amateur to high master levels. This elite group was the most homogenous regarding the quantitative change in expertise and, at the same time, showed the lowest influence of age and practice in their remarkable and fast process of top skill acquisition. The obtained evidence supports talent for understanding the achievement of the highest expertise levels or excellence in chess.

Defining Plastic Pollution Hotspots
Authors: Tasseron Paolo , van Emmerik Tim , Vriend Paul , Hauk Rahel , Alberti Francesca , Mellink Yvette , van der Ploeg Martine
Published: November 2023

Plastic pollution in the natural environment poses a growing threat to ecosystems and human health, prompting urgent needs for monitoring, prevention and clean-up measures, and new policies. To effectively prioritize resource allocation and mitigation strategies, it is key to identify and define plastic hotspots. UNEP’s draft global agreement on plastic pollution mandates prioritizing hotspots, suggesting a potential need for a defined term. Yet, the delineation of hotspots varies considerably across plastic pollution studies, and a definition is often lacking or inconsistent without a clear purpose and boundaries of the term. In this paper, we applied four common hotspot definitions to plastic pollution datasets ranging from urban areas to a global scale. Our findings reveal that these hotspot definitions encompass between 0.8% to 93.3% of the total plastic pollution, covering <0.1% to 50.3% of the total locations. Given this wide range of results and the possibility of temporal inconsistency in hotspots, we emphasize the need for fit-for-purpose criteria and a unified approach to defining plastic hotspots. Therefore, we designed a step-wise framework to define hotspots by determining the purpose, units, spatial scale, temporal scale, and threshold values. Incorporating these steps in research and policymaking yields a harmonized definition of hotspots, facilitating the development of effective plastic pollution prevention and reduction measures.
Decomposing geographical judgments into spatial, temporal and linguistic components

Published: November 2023

When mentally exploring large-scale maps, humans are assumed to mainly rely on spatial information derived from direct perceptual experience (e.g., prior visual experience with the geographical map itself). In the present study, we rather tested whether also temporal and linguistic information could account for the way humans explore and ultimately represent large-scale geographical maps. We quantified temporal distance as the minimum time needed to travel by train across Italian cities, while linguistic distance was retrieved from natural language through cognitively plausible AI models based on non-spatial associative learning mechanisms (i.e., distributional semantic models). In a first experiment, we show that temporal and linguistic distances capture with high-confidence real geographical distances. Next, in a second behavioral experiment, we show that linguistic information can account for human performance over and above real spatial information in a task in which participants have to judge the distance between cities (while temporal information was found to be not relevant). These findings indicate that, when exploring large-scale geographical maps, humans do take advantage of both perceptual and linguistic information, suggesting in turn that the formation of cognitive maps possibly relies on a strict interplay between spatial and non-spatial learning principles.
Visual search and real-image similarity: an empirical assessment through the lens of deep learning
Authors: Petilli Marco A. , Rodio Francesca , Guenther Fritz , Marelli Marco
Published: November 2023

The ability to predict how efficiently a person finds an object in the environment is a crucial goal of attention research. Central to this issue are the similarity principles initially proposed by Duncan and Humphreys (1989), which outline how the similarity between target and distractor objects (TD) and between distractor objects themselves (DD) affect search efficiency. However, the search principles lack direct quantitative support from an ecological perspective, being a summary approximation of a wide range of lab-based results poorly generalisable to real-world scenarios. This study exploits deep convolutional neural networks to predict human search efficiency from computational estimates of similarity between objects populating, potentially, any visual scene. Our results provide ecological evidence supporting the similarity principles: search performance continuously varies across tasks and conditions and improves with decreasing TD similarity and increasing DD similarity. Furthermore, our results reveal a crucial dissociation: TD and DD similarities mainly operate at two distinct layers of the network: DD similarity at the intermediate layers of coarse object features and TD similarity at the final layers of complex features used for classification. This suggests that these different similarities exert their major effects at two distinct perceptual levels and demonstrates our methodology’s potential to offer insights into the depth of visual processing on which the search relies. By combining computational techniques with visual search principles, this approach aligns with modern trends in other research areas and fulfils longstanding demands for more ecologically valid research in the field of visual search.
A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of a Single-Session Intervention to Reduce Training Psychologists’ Burnout

Published: November 2023

Professional psychology trainees often experience burnout during their clinical training. In a pilot randomized controlled trial, we tested the feasibility, acceptability, utility, and preliminary efficacy of a 30-minute, online single-session intervention (SSI), designed to address burnout, hopelessness, and perceived agency in psychology trainees. In March 2023, 151 graduate students with symptoms of burnout in accredited, U.S.-based professional psychology programs were randomized to either the SSI (n=74) or an active control condition (n=77). Immediately post-SSI, 98.5% of participants endorsed the SSI as likely helpful for their patients and 92.5% wanted more information on how to deliver it; at two-week follow-up, 48.4% had used the SSI in their own life, and 16.1%, with a patient. On average, participants rated the SSI as somewhat helpful; feeling somewhat hopeful and somewhat motivated to use their SSI-driven action plan; and that they would mostly recommend the SSI to others. No significant cross-condition differences emerged in participants’ reported burnout, hopelessness, or perceived agency at post-intervention or at follow-up, though effect sizes were generally in expected directions (ds=0.01-0.36). However, SSI participants (versus control participants) reported personally perceiving significantly larger immediate improvements in hopelessness (d=0.87), their problem-solving ability (d=0.85), and their ability to help patients solve problems (d=0.71). Overall, findings were inconclusive regarding the SSI’s effects on overall burnout, hopelessness, and agency; however, the SSI appeared to support trainees’ interest in SSI delivery and real-world use, both with themselves and with their patients. Participant feedback provided helpful guidance to inform SSI refinement, and potential best-uses, before larger-scale evaluation.

Strategi dan Media Pembelajaran Sejarah Kebudayaan Islam di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah
Authors: Rahmah Laela
Published: November 2023

Mata pelajaran Sejarah Kebudayaan Islam adalah salah satu mata pelajaran yang agak kurang menarik bagi diri siswa dan membuat siswa merasa mengantuk hingga pada akhirnya tidak memperhatikan materi yang guru sampaikan. Hal ini banyak dipengaruhi oleh faktor proses pembelajaran yang kurang menyenangkan dan kurangnya kreativitas seorang guru dalam proses belajar mengajar ketika saat berinteraksi dengan siswa di dalam kelas. Materi SKI yang karakteristiknya materi sejarah Islam masa lampau disampaikan atau bahkan diceritakan begitu saja dengan model belajar berceramah atau bercerita. Model belajar seperti inilah yang membuat siswa hanya duduk dan mendengarkan apa yang disampaikan oleh guru sehingga kreatifitas berfikir maupun tangkapan materi siswa kurang maksimal. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut seorang guru harus memiliki banyak strategi dalam menyampaikan sebuah pembelajaran, serta melibatkan media dalam penyampaiannya. Oleh karena itu dalam artikel ini kami akan membahas mengenai strategi dan media apa saja yang bisa digunakan dalam pembelajaran sejarah kebudayaan Islam. Dengan tujuan memberikan wawasan bagi guru maupun calon guru dalam menyampaikan materi pembelajaran yang baik, efektif dan inovatif.

Worker's remittances are one of the most crucial sources of income, contributing significantly to poverty alleviation in households and communities in many parts of the developing world. A pressing concern is whether individuals will be able to maintain their current standard of living upon permanently returning to Nepal. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify the different factors that affect personal financial planning among migrant households. The study employs an explanatory research design to examine the relationship between various factors that influence the personal financial planning of migrant households. It utilizes a purposive sampling method, collecting data from 100 respondents across 10 wards in Rainas Municipality, along with 10 randomly selected respondents. Data is collected through Google Forms and analyzed using SPSS (version 21), SPSS AMOS, and MS-Excel. The results reveal that the majority of households earn around 45,000 to 60,000 per month, indicating a healthy income inflow. The structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis shows that financial awareness (β= 0.218, P<0.05) has a significant relationship with financial planning, while financial knowledge (β= -0.085, P>0.05) and financial attitude (β= 0.044, P<0.05) do not have a significant relationship with financial planning. This study suggests that financial awareness is a key factor in increasing financial knowledge and improving financial attitudes, ultimately enhancing financial planning in households. To promote such awareness, the government can consider incorporating financial courses into school curricula to enhance financial literacy and personal financial planning.

Effective payment systems are crucial components of any nation's financial infrastructure. In recent years, Nepal has witnessed a significant surge in the utilization of digital payment systems. The examination of the adoption of digital payment methods in Nepal is of paramount importance as it sheds light on behaviors related to financial technology that can shape the future of the country's financial system and contribute to its economic development. This study aims to explore the factors influencing the adoption intention of digital payment systems in Pokhara Metropolitan City, Nepal. The study population consists of the youth of Pokhara, with 400 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis encompasses frequency distribution, exploratory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling. The exploratory factor analysis extracted six factors, which include effort expectancy, performance expectancy, security and privacy, social influence, facilitating conditions, and adoption intention. The structural equation modeling reveals that security and privacy, performance expectancy, and facilitating conditions have a significant positive impact on the adoption intention, whereas effort expectancy and social influence do not significantly affect the adoption intention of digital payments. In conclusion, the study suggests that the use of digital payment systems can be increased by providing secure digital payment systems, enhancing access to resources that support digital payments, and raising awareness about the benefits of digital payments among the youth in Pokhara Metropolitan City. These findings can guide policymakers in developing strategies and policies to promote the adoption of digital payments.

Taxi drivers around the world operate in a mobile environment that challenges the traditional concept of the workplace. They play a vital role in enabling us to reach our destinations with ease, security, and time-saving benefits. Therefore, transportation is considered one of the five crucial infrastructure facilities for the development of a country. The current study aims to analyze the factors that determine taxi drivers' perceptions of taxi management in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. The results, obtained through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), reveal five constructs fitting within the model. The findings conclude that accessibility, convenience, price, and intention to use taxi management are significantly related to each other. This indicates that all four variables significantly influence taxi drivers' perceptions of taxi management. As a result, this study suggests that the taxi industry must adapt to taxi management practices to enhance customer engagement.
Impact of Personality Traits on Sustainable Entrepreneurship Development
Authors: Kathayat Bhupal Bikram , Rawat Dipak Singh , Gurung Bablu
Published: November 2023

The evolving landscape of globalization is bringing about inevitable changes in the development of sustainable entrepreneurship. Sustainable entrepreneurship combines entrepreneurial traits with a focus on both market success and social impact. However, in today's competitive environment, it is imperative for every entrepreneur to possess specific personality traits to enhance their competitiveness. The primary objective of this research was to investigate the influence of four significant personality traits: agreeableness, openness, extraversion, and neuroticism, on the sustainable development of entrepreneurship in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The study employed a positivist research philosophy, an explanatory research design, and a quantitative survey method using a convenience sampling technique. A total of 396 entrepreneurs from the registered SMEs in the Surkhet district were identified as samples. Inferential statistics, specifically structural equation modeling, were used to analyze the data. The study revealed that personality traits such as agreeableness, openness, and extraversion had a positive influence on the development of sustainable entrepreneurship. This suggests that individuals possessing interpersonal skills, innovativeness, curiosity, situational sociability, confidence, and passion played a foundational role in promoting entrepreneurial sustainability. On the other hand, the personality trait of neuroticism demonstrated an insignificant positive impact on sustainable entrepreneurial development. This implies that neurotic individuals, prone to anxiety, stress, and emotional instability, may hinder decision-making processes and disrupt the stability of sustainable entrepreneurship. Based on these findings, the study suggests that entrepreneurs should prioritize instrumental features of personality traits like agreeableness, openness, and extraversion for sustainable entrepreneurship development, while minimizing the influence of neuroticism.
Human-Nature Interface in William Cowper's "The Poplar Field" and E.B.White's "Once More to the Lake"
Authors: Nath Arjun , Timalsina Dhurba Prasad
Published: November 2023

This paper attempts to analyze William Cowper's poem "The Poplar Field" and E.B. White's essay "Once More to the Lake" from an ecocritical perspective. Ecocriticism explores the relationships between elements, human culture, and the physical environment as presented in literary texts. In their respective works, both Cowper and White address issues related to nature, the acknowledgment of social ecology within the natural world, and the necessity for humans to coexist with it while respecting ecological balance. Both literary texts delve into the unpleasant and devastating environmental degradation and the interface between humans and nature, which forms the core of ecocriticism. In this context, human culture is intricately connected to the physical world, affecting and being affected by it. The texts also highlight the issue of biodiversity degradation and the loss of natural beauty. Furthermore, they touch upon environmental philosophy and ecocriticism, assuming that the human world and the physical environment are closely interlinked. This perspective teaches us to be more humane and to reject an anthropocentric approach.
Scrub typhus Meningoencephalitis : Diagnostic dilemma
Authors: Narkhede Nilima , Weling Rajaram , Prajapati Sanjay
Published: November 2023

Background: Neurological involvement in the form of meningitis or meningoencephalitis, although well documented in scrub typhus, has not been extensively studied in the pediatric population. It is seldom considered in the differential diagnosis of meningitis in the Indian subcontinent.
Case Presentation: We report a case of Scrub typhus meningitis in 13year old male child. The Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) revealed lymphocytic pleocytosis, raised proteins and a normal glucose level.  
Conclusion : Early diagnosis and prompt institution of doxycycline therapy may lead to early cure of scrub typhus even when features of meningitis supervene. However, Ceftriaxone which is commonly used to treat bacterial meningitis is suboptimal in the treatment of scrub typhus.

Authors: Ansari Safroz , Yadav Aditya Prakash , Quazi Masood
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Coagulopathy after traumatic brain injury is quite a common finding. But its role  associated with poor outcomes is still debatable. This study was design to assess the frequency, and association of coagulopathy in outcome after TBI.
Material and Methods: Single institute prospective study in isolated traumatic head injury was included and outcome was evaluated based Glasgow Outcome Scale recorded at the time of discharge. Coagulopathy was defined as deranged value of aPTT >39s, PT>14s, INR>1.2 and Platelets< 1.5lakhs.
Results: Among 405 subjects, mean age of the study population was 28.65 years, majority of the subjects were in the age group of 5-25 years 40.99%, 63.70% were males, mild condition 90.37%, whereas 8.39% presented with moderate and only 1.23% was having severe injury, The mean PT, INR & APTT were 13.69  seconds, 1.1  and 34.50 seconds respectively. The mean  platelet count was 261231.9 . Majority of the patients were having good recovery 93.1%, 5.5% had Moderate disability and 1% had severe disability, whereas two patients expired, patients with death and severe disability had higher proportions of coagulopathy, which was also statistically significant coagulopathy.
Conclusions: Coagulopathy is significantly associated with unfavorable outcome, though coagulopathy is not an independent factor for poor outcomes in isolated traumatic brain injury.
Clinico-epidemological profile of migraine and its correlation with depression, anxiety and stress in a teritiary care hospital in South India
Authors: Renuji Baishyak , Pillai Rammohan Krishna
Published: November 2023

Introduction: We studied the clinico-epidemiological profile of patients with migraine and to study the correlation of migraine severity with depression, anxiety and stress.
Materials and Methods: 98 subjects who were meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria were studied after obtaining informed written consent. Data was collected using prestructured performa and then analysed using SPSS software.
Result: 64.3% patients had unilateral headache and 76.5% had frontal area pain. Migraine with aura was present in 40.8% with commonest aura being visual (85%). Most common visual aura was scotoma (47.5%) and the most common associated symptom was photophobia (83.7%) followed by nausea (78.6%). The most common trigger was sun exposure (70.4%) followed by sleep deprivation (69.4%). Severe disability was present in 26.5% of subjects. Severity of migraine showed significant positive association with those who were taking alternative medicine. Migraine severity showed positive correlation with depression, anxiety and stress with correlation coefficient of 0.506, 0.509, and 0.604 respectively. Maximum correlation was with stress which may be considered as an independent risk factor for severe migraine.
Conclusion: Anxiety, depression and stress were strongly associated with severe migraine. They can act as factors that trigger and perpetuate migraine, of which stress may be considered as an independent risk factor for severe migraine. Early screening and management of depression, anxiety and stress might provide better control of migraine, thus improving the quality of life of migraineurs.
Anti- NMDAR Encephalitis in a 28 years old female: Revisited
Authors: Jha Rajiv , Jalan Pankaj , Shah Rajiv , Chaturvedi Adarsh
Published: November 2023

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is the prevailing subtype of autoimmune encephalitis, commonly misdiagnosed initially as infectious encephalitis due to its symptomatology resembling that of viral encephalitis and meningitis. The condition exhibits a higher incidence in females, with a gender ratio of 4:1 compared to males. While electroencephalogram (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) aid in the diagnostic process, the presence of antibodies in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) serves as the definitive confirmation. Autoimmune encephalitis typically presents with a spectrum of neuropsychiatric symptoms
Detection of interictal epileptiform discharge in focal seizures
Authors: Saxena Shikha , Gupta Kamal Kant
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Many factors underlying basic epileptic conditions determine the characteristics of epileptic seizures and the therapeutic outcome. Visual obvious abnormalities in resting baseline EEG are cardinal but incompletely understood like feature of seizure onset zone in focal epilepsy and interictal epileptiform discharge. Present study is an attempt to diagnose that evidence of epileptic discharge in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), would persist during interictal period in absence of abnormalities in baseline EEG, which could increase the impact of automatic analysis of EEG waves for clinical relevance.

Material and Methods: By using 10-20 system, functional connectivity was estimated in the 20 channels of delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma frequency bands of EEG, from 16 diagnosed focal epileptic seizure patients and 16 age and sex matched controls. To observe the dynamics of the healthy brain, differ from the brain of dynamically focal epileptic patients during interictal period treated with anti-epileptic drugs in the context of resting state during eye close session of EEG. Such differences can be observed by using absolute spectral power from BESS ((Brain Electro Scan Software) of the Axxonet System and statistically measure by applied unpaired student t -test.

Result: The high significance results in slow frequency EEG waves (delta and theta) in power spectral analysis were observed that demonstrates the potential epileptic discharge occurring during interictal period without visible pathological activity for helping in the diagnosis and lateralization of TLE.

Conclusion: The detailed spectral analysis of EEG waves offers novel insight into focal epileptic patients when visually EEG findings were normal. This linear analysis helpful in extracting information from EEG signals in diagnosing specific neuronal correlates for TLE. Present findings concluded that epileptic discharges occur at different topographical regions of brain during interictal period and power spectral analysis plays a new insight in diagnosis of focal discharge.

Ekonomi merupakan aktifitas interaksi yang dibangun di masyarakat dengan berbagai model dan pendekatan, ini sama halnya dengan keberadaan manusia dimuka bumi ini, sebab ekonomi sebagai pengaruh dan pendorong dalam usaha menyesuaikan kebutuhan individual dengan kebutuhan masyarakat. Kehidupan bermasyarakat Setiap orang sudah pasti membutuhkan interaksi dengan orang lain untuk saling melengkapi kebutuhan dan tolong-menolong di antara mereka. Kondisi ekonomi setiap orang tentunya berbeda-beda, ini dapat ditandai dengan keberagaman kebutuhan setiap individu dalam masyarakat. Penelitian ini secara umum akan menggambarkan bagaimana prosedur gadai sawah tanpa batas waktu dan bagaimana tinjauan hukum Islam terhadap gadai sawah tanpa batas waktu di Desa Oloonua Kecamatan Tongauna Kabupaten Konawe. Prosedur gadai sawah yang dilakukan di Desa Oloonua Kecamatan Tongauna Kabupaten Konawe dilakukakan hanya berdasarkan kesepakatan yang hanya melibatkan dua pihak yaitu pihak pemberi gadai dan pihak yang menerima gadai. Tanpa ada bukti tertulis dan saksi yang adil seperti yang terdapat dalam hukum Islam, Karena penerima gadai tidak mau jika barang yang dijadikan jaminan tidak menguntungkan baginya, secara teknis tidak ada dokumentasi atau bukti transaksi hitam di atas putih, mereka hanya berdasarkan transaksi secara lisan dengan dasar kepercayaan antara kedua belah pihak. Tinjauan hukum Islam terhadap gadai sawah tanpa batas waktu di Desa Oluonua belum sesuai dengan hukum Islam baik hukum positif maupun normatife dimana pihak penggadai bila sawahnya tergadai terus menerus maka akan mengalami kesulitan dalam hidup, karena sawah tersebut merupakan sumber mata pencaharian utamanya, sekalipun itu ulama berbeda pendapat ada yang membetulkan dan ada yang tidak dengan alasannya masing-masing dalam hukum Islam juga dalam melakukan transaksi harus ada prosedural dan mempunyai bukti tertulis.

Dikatakan sesuai jika berutang itu tidak menyulikan karena membayar utang itu harus disegerakan, dan jika berutang dapat menyulitkan maka hal tersebut tidak sesuai dengan Maqashid Al-Syariah karena dalam rangka memelihara turunan perkawinan tidak boleh dipaksakan sehingga dengan utang yang dapat menimbulkan mudharat bagi pelaku utang yang tujuannya hanya karena malu dan mempertahankan harga diri maka hal tersebut tidak dibenarkan.

Authors: Williams Rachel , Dumas Catherine , Flanagan Joanna
Published: November 2023

The use of virtual reality (VR) in social work (SW) and pre-service teacher education has become a promising tool for skills development for students. A review of existing scholarship was conducted to provide an overview of the current landscape of VR in SW and pre-service teacher education. This analysis focused on the use of VR in fields that involved working with people, particularly people in crisis. After an initial review of 115 articles, 60 were identified as relevant to this study. Our analysis of recent trends in the literature emphasizes the potential of VR for library and information science (LIS) education. This literature review provides a basis for a study that examines how VR training approaches may be implemented to support LIS graduate students to build communication and de-escalation skills and confidence in interacting with patrons in crisis. Therefore, this literature review demonstrates the value of using VR and informs our proposed future project examining the viability and usability of VR training for this skill development using the social VR platform Mozilla Hubs.
Social responsibility of Spanish universities for sustainable relationships

As institutions committed to society, universities communicate their responsible behavior and their impacts on the environment and community through University Social Responsibility (USR) and sustainability reports. This paper analyzes USR management in the 50 higher education institutions that belong to the Spanish public university system and their commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda. A descriptive methodology was followed to carry out a document review and content analysis of their social responsibility and sustainability reports, as well as their institutional development plans. The results show that both the conceptualization and management of USR as a policy is very heterogeneous between universities and by regions. There is little evidence that USR policies are deeply rooted in a government framework and that the contribution of public universities to the 2030 Agenda is incipient. Although the relationship with internal and external audiences is represented in the documents, there are weaknesses in the relationship with mixed interest groups. Responsible communication is presented as a mechanism for the integration and promotion of the SDGs in universities and as a manifestation of their relationships with stakeholders.
PSYCHOLOGIC-PEDAGOGICAL PRINCIPLES OF STUDYING GERMAN SOCIAL DISCOURSE (BASED ON VOCABULARY MATERIAL FROM HANDBUCH KNIGGE BY BIRGIT ALTHAUS)
Authors: Musafir Valeria
Published: November 2023

On the basis of modern approaches, the article substantiates the problems of learning the vocabulary of German social discourse in classes at higher education institutions. The definition of discourse has been clarified according to various theories and approaches. The main aspects of studying the vocabulary of social discourse are highlighted. Based on the systematization and generalization of the theoretical assets of domestic and foreign researchers, as well as through comparative analysis, the main methods of learning social vocabulary were established: 1) use of factual material with a sufficient number of texts on social topics; 2) study of stable phrases and clichés; 3) the possibility of forming language competence with a set of exercises; 4) creation of conditions for independent work of students; 5) use of dictionaries and reference books. The method of working with the book Handbuch Knigge by Birgit Althaus, which is devoted to the rules of behavior and etiquette in various situations of everyday communication, is described. Based on the text, the choice of vocabulary of social discourse for students is substantiated (compound words, established clichés, non-equivalent vocabulary, idiomatic expressions, etc.). It was determined that vocabulary of social discourse has recently become one of the most studied spheres in modern linguistics. A comprehensive approach to the problem of learning social vocabulary stimulates the formation of language competence, which in turn leads to the formation of a holistic view of the culture and language of the German people. According to this, the research of social vocabulary for students with the aim of its further use in some day-to-day situations is promising.
