Impact of Managerâ€™s Social Commitment on Organizationâ€™s Social Performance Influenced by Socially Sustainable Supply Chain Practices and Sustainability Culture
Authors: Ramish Asher , Aslam Haris , Liaquat Sabtain
Published: June 2022

The social dimension of sustainability in supply chain management is significant but less prominent. This study investigates the role of a managerâ€™s social commitment in achieving an organizationâ€™s social performance. A model with four constructs was developed to study the impact of the managerâ€™s social commitment on social outcomes. Research was carried out on Pakistani firms through a survey-based questionnaire. From a total of 360 respondents (managers of Pakistani organizations) identified initially, 158 sent their responses after repeated follow-ups. Structural Equation Modeling was used for data analysis. The results show that socially committed managers play a significant role in achieving organizationâ€™s social performance. Furthermore, implementing social sustainable supply chain practices mediates the relationship between managerâ€™s social commitment and organizationâ€™s social performance. This study shows that an organizationâ€™s culture promotes the implementation of social practices and helps managers adopt social responsive activities and achieve social outcomes. Additionally, this study along with theoretical support to understand the managerâ€™s role in changing the business environment to resolve emerging social issues and improve the firmâ€™s reputation, also provides empirical evidence from a developing countryâ€™s perspective, supported by the significant results.
Sustainable Development Goals and Islamic Finance: An Integrated Approach for Islamic Financial Institutions
Authors: Muhmad Siti Nurain , Muhamad Rusnah , Sulong Farizah
Published: June 2022

The challenges posed by environmental degradation and abandoning of social rights to secure business interests have highlighted the importance of focusing on sustainable development within the global financial system, especially among citizens and policymakers. The timely declaration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the United Nations is appropriate in addressing environmental degradation. In fact, the SDGs have become part of the fundamental agenda and essential requirements of every business, including Islamic financial institutions. In particular, the concept of sustainable development is parallel with Islamic teachings, which promote welfare, security, and rights for the sake of the current and future generations. Furthermore, Islamic finance and the SDGs are closely associated, as the former is capable of serving a meaningful function in sustainable development to achieve the goals of implementing fair and equitable tools, promoting resource mobilization, and enabling social benefit tools. Therefore, this study highlights an important case for Islamic financial institutions by expounding on the best indicators for sustainable Islamic finance.
Carbon Emission Reduction and Financial Performance in an Emerging Market: Empirical Study of Indian Firms
Authors: Makan Leo Themjung , Kabra Kailash Chandra
Published: June 2022

The study aims to examine the impact of carbon emission reduction on financial performance in an emerging market context. Thirty eight Indian-listed firms were drawn from the Bombay Stock Exchange for the sample, and firmsâ€™ data were collected from sustainability reports and Capitaline Plus corporate database. Carbon productivity and market-to-book ratio were used as a proxy to measure carbon emission reduction and financial performance, respectively. Results show a positive association between carbon emission reduction and financial performance after employing the appropriate panel regression model. This study contributes to the ongoing â€œpays to be greenâ€ literature, and the findings of this study complement the â€œwinâ€“winâ€ research by empirically showing that corporate effort to reduce carbon emission generates a positive impact on firmâ€™s financial performance. Moreover, the findings provide crucial managerial and policy implication.
Determinants of Corporate Sustainability Disclosure: The Case of the S&P/EGX ESG Index
Authors: Elafify Mohamed Gamal
Published: June 2022

The paper investigates the influence of the corporate board and the dissemination of a separate sustainability report on the corporate sustainability disclosure (CSD) level of corporations listed on the Egyptian sustainability index from 2016â€“2018. This study used the score-weighting scheme assigned by the Egyptian Stock Exchange (EGX) to evaluate, list, and rank companies in terms of their CSD. Empirical results reveal that boards with higher independence and larger size generate a higher CSD score. The results also support the assumption that the issuance of a separate sustainability report boosts the CSD score. The current study provides insights for policymakers and regulators in developing countries, in general, and in Egypt, in particular, regarding the role of corporate board and issuance of a separate sustainability report in promoting CSD. To the best of the researcherâ€™s knowledge, no prior study has discussed the determinants of the level of CSD for corporations listed on the sustainability index in Egypt.
Semantic access during Turkish and English visual word processing in translation students: A case of semantic Simon paradigm
Authors: ÖZTÜRK Asiye
Published: June 2022

The present study aimed to investigate semantic meaning activation in L1 and L2 during low-level word processing, i.e., case judgment tasks using the semantic Simon paradigm. Turkish-English bilingual participants who were divided into two “translators” and “bilinguals” were asked to judge target words’ letter cases by responding “animal” to uppercase targets and “occupation” to lowercase targets. The findings of the study were in line with the previous results in which faster responses were obtained both in the first language (L1) and second language (L2) when the verbal response corresponded to the semantic category, although semantic content was irrelevant to the task itself. In other words, faster responses were observed in congruent condition (e.g., verbal response “animal” to DOG) than incongruent condition (e.g., verbal response “animal” to SOLDIER). There was not any significant effect of the group (either translator or bilingual) on both response times and accuracy. Groups’ mean response times did not differ significantly from each other both in L1 and L2. Consequently, the present study supports the view that semantic access and form-to-meaning mappings may occur automatically and fast in L2 as they do in L1, and it may be possible that lexical representations of words in both languages may develop direct semantic access while student translators process the words visually.
Türkçenin ikinci/yabancı dil olarak uzaktan öğretimi
Authors: YEĞİN Feyza Yağmur
Published: June 2022

Salgın hastalık sebebiyle toplu yaşama alanlarında bir araya gelmek imkansızlaştığında, pek çok ülke gibi Türkiye’de de eğitim-öğretim süreci, teknolojik cihazlar aracılığıyla uzaktan gerçekleştirildi. Bu zorunlu deneyim; alt yapıdan içeriğe, öğretmen yeterliliklerinden ölçme değerlendirmeye değin pek çok eksiği ortaya çıkardı. Gerek ana dili gerek yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğretimi süreçlerini yürüten öğretmenler de bu eksiklerin gölgesi altında çalıştılar. Bu süreç, Türkçe öğretimi alanında çalışan bilim insanları için de önemli bir gözlem ve araştırma sahasını gündeme getirdi: uzaktan Türkçe öğretimi. Elbette salgın hastalık öncesinde de uzaktan eğitim vardı ancak oranı oldukça düşüktü. Şimdiyse salgın sona ermiş olmasına rağmen pek çok kurum, derslerinin bir bölümünü hâlen uzaktan gerçekleştirmektedir. Bunlar arasında yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğretimi faaliyetlerini yürüten kurumlar da vardır. Bu durum, öğretmenlere ve öğretmen yetiştiren kurumlara rehberlik edecek çalışmalara duyulan ihtiyacı açığa çıkardı. Göçer ve Moralı (2022) editörlüğünde bir grup araştırmacı tarafından bu ihtiyaca cevap vermek üzere bir kitap yayımlanmıştır. Kitabın önsözünde araştırmacılar, Türkçenin ikinci/yabancı dil olarak uzaktan öğretiminde temel ilke ve ölçütleri, mevcut uzaktan Türkçe öğretim sistemleri ve bu sistemlerin hangi koşullarda kullanılması gerektiğini ortaya koymayı amaçladıklarını ifade etmişlerdir (2022: 5).
The Rest is ‘not’ Silence: Rereading Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad as a Counterwriting Practice
Authors: KÖROĞLU Neslihan
Published: June 2022

The ideological construction of the Western literary canon sparked heated arguments, particularly after the 1980s, in the context of 'opening up the canon' issue. Since then, contemporary women writers have questioned the monolithic perspective of the literary tradition which has systematically ignored the experiences of women, minorities, and those from lower classes. As a reactionary yet strategic move, contemporary women writers have produced 'counterwritings' through rewriting canonical texts in order to undermine the patriarchal conventions of the literary pantheon and transform it into a polyphonic narrative entity through which the voices of the silenced, exploited and marginalized are heard. In Rewriting: Postmodern Narrative and Cultural Critique in the Age of Cloning (2001), Christian Moraru defines 'counterwriting' as a revisionary and critical rewriting practice that "work[s] on – and, again, obsessively work[s] through — other bodies of writings" because mythic stories "explain us," they are "founding-texts" (2001, p. 8). This article explores Canadian writer Margaret Atwood's (1939- ) novella The Penelopiad (2005) as a contemporary revisionary myth-making practice in the light of Christian Moraru's 'counterwriting' concept. The article will provide a theoretical background to discuss ‘counterwritings’. It then deals with Atwood's motivation for producing a 'counterwriting’, as well as how she relies on the source text while being unconstrained by its restrictions using postmodern narrative strategies. The article also sheds light on how a founding myth of the Western literary tradition has been used as a reference point in a counterwriting to question the authority of its source text, Homer’s The Odyssey.

الفروق الفردية في الألكسيثيميا ومعالجة الانفعالات الوجهية
Authors: عمارة نرمين حمدي , مجرية أحمد محمد
Published: June 2022

تعد الوجوه أحد الأنظمة الأساسية التي من خلالها يمكن التعرف على انفعالات الآخرين؛ إذ يصاحب الانفعالاتِ المختلفة (مثل السعادة، والحزن، والغضب، والدهشة، والخوف، والاشمئزاز) تعبيراتٌ وجهية مميزة. ويعد التعرف على هذه الانفعالات الوجهية واحدًا من المهارات الأساسية في التواصل الاجتماعي. وبالرغم من ذلك، فهناك أفراد يعانون من الألكسيثيميا، وهي عدم القدرة على التمييز بين الانفعالات المختلفة أو التعبير عنها. وقد هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى فحص الفروق الفردية في الألكسيثيميا ومعالجة الانفعالات الوجهية لدى عينة من طلبة الجامعة (ن= 162). واستُخدم مقياس تورنتو–20 للألكسيثيميا، وثلاث مهام لمعالجة الانفعالات الوجهية، وهي: مهمة تعرف الانفعالات الوجهية، ومهمة إدراك الانفعالات الوجهية، ومهمة تذكر الانفعالات الوجهية. أشارت النتائج إلى وجود فروق بين الجنسين في الألكسيثيميا؛ فقد كانت الإناث أكثر معاناة من الألكسثيميا مقارنة بالذكور، في حين لم توجد فروق بين الجنسين في معالجة الانفعالات الوجهية. إضافة إلى ذلك، كانت هناك ارتباطات إيجابية بين معالجة الانفعالات الوجهية والألكسيثيميا؛ مما يشير إلى أن الفشل في وعي الأفراد ذوي الألكسيثيميا بانفعالاتهم الشخصية وانفعالات الآخرين ربما يرتبط بضعف القدرة على معالجة الانفعالات الوجهية. ومن ثم، فتدريب هؤلاء الأفراد على معالجة الانفعالات الوجهية ربما يؤدي إلى تحسين قدرتهم على التعرف على الانفعالات.

Methods of industrial enterprise strategic management: Integration of approaches
Authors: Zheleznova Tatyana Yu. , Vaisman Elena D.
Published: June 2022

The article aims to develop an integrated method for managing an industrial enterprise highly responsive to the challenges of a changing environment. The theory of the firm, the general theory of management and strategic management theory constitute the methodological basis of the study. The research methods are structural-logical analysis, comparative analysis, and matrixing. We distinguish between three industrial enterprise management methods, based on: (a) complex financial indicators, (b) a balanced scorecard, and (c) a system of continuous improvements. The results of comparative analysis allowed identifying high-potential methods of strategic management. We conclude that it is expedient to integrate various methods, which will level the shortcomings of each of them and, in some cases, help obtain a synergistic effect. The study proposes a mechanism for integrating a balanced scorecard with the Hoshin Kanri tools, which contributes to the development of strategic management theory. The mechanism can be of use for industrial enterprises when formulating their development strategy.
Credible commitments in contract relations: Where are the limits of the possible?
Authors: Shastitko Andrey E.
Published: June 2022

Credible commitments are the most important condition for contracts sustainability. The effects and ways of ensuring the commitments credibility are discussed in the new institutional economics and game theory. At the same time, there is a number of unresolved issues related to the microeconomic aspects of obligations’ reliability in contracts regarding specific resources. The article delves into various approaches to determining credible commitments in contractual relations at the micro level in the context of bilateral (multilateral) opportunism. The methodological basis of the study is the transaction costs economics. The paper shows the limitations of the compensation approach in modeling credible liabilities and explains the importance of relational credible commitments for ensuring sustainability and effectiveness of contracts. The author proposes an extended model of hostages in contracts using specific resources as a way of solving the “ugly princess” problem. Based on the specification of the temporal structure of contracting, we develop a game-theoretic model that takes into account the possibilities of opportunism on the part of both the pledger and the pledgee as an investor in specific assets. The study demonstrates the consequences of the wrong hostage chosen, as well as the characteristics of the interaction equilibrium due to the correct choice of it with an indication of the residual opportunism problem. The research provides a rationale why the promisee and the potential purchaser of full rights to an asset acting as a hostage are not always the same actor. The approaches to dealing with credible commitments in the context of renegotiations and multilateral contracts are outlined. The research results can serve as a basis for designing contracts requiring reciprocal collateral.

Authors: Nekhoda Evgeniya V. Nekhoda , Arabov Nurali U. , Bogdanov Aleksandr L. , German Maria V. , Kuklina Tatyana V.
Published: June 2022

Non-financial reporting is the key institution for monitoring the provision of decent work for employees. The analysis of Russian companies’ reports has shown that the low quality of decent work disclosures is attributed to the lack of data and collection and calculation methods. The article examines the current practices for evaluating non-financial reporting, presents the author’s approach to assessing the quality of decent work disclosures and reveals the relationship between the completeness of disclosed information and companies’ performance. Methodologically, the study rests upon the concept of corporate governance. Among the research methods used are quantitative, qualitative (content) and statistical analysis. The proposed assessment approach was tested at metallurgical and mining enterprises, which allowed identifying main gaps between the companies’ ranking positions and the practical provision of decent work for employees. A positive relationship was revealed between the completeness of disclosed information about decent work and the companies’ financial performance as well as labor productivity. The authors come up with recommendations for state regulation in the field of non-financial reporting. The proposed approach allows conducting a fair assessment of the depth of disclosure in non-financial reporting and comparing the levels of provision with decent work in different companies, which together will contribute to improving the effectiveness of the positioning strategy and formation of its unique socially oriented image.

Authors: Poznyakovskiy Valery M. , Shamova Maria M. , Avstriyevskikh Alexander N. , Vyalykh Elena V.
Published: June 2022

A man developed new polysystemic bioregulator in the form of a bio-logically active additive (BAA) based on polyprenols isolated from Si-berian fir by the multistage extraction. Polyprenols and its precursor dolichol have key positions in metabolic processes underlying the nu-merous diseases pathogenesis. Hence, there is a necessity to replace the cellular polyprenols pool to ensure the functioning of the “cellular health laboratory”. In order to give the scientific justification of the qualitative and quantitative composition of the dietary supplement formulation the authors gave the biochemical characteristics of the initial raw materials. They assessed functional properties of a specialized product and gave the recommendations for its use. The researchers ob-tained clinical evidence of the BAS effectiveness while its additional in-clusion in the diet of patients with acute bronchitis and with long bone fractures. A man justified the BAS prescription ingredients composi-tion, mg/1 capsule not less than: polyprenols – 5; eleutherosides – 0.1; schizandrins – 0.1. The technology innovativeness lies in the presence of an active gelatinous shell containing fir and chaga extracts, which have a synergistic effect in relation to the metabolic disorder correction in the pathologies under consideration. The researchers tested the recipe and technology in a production environment certified according to the international standard requirements, which guarantees the quality char-acteristics stability and developed product competitiveness in the health-saving technologies market.

Published: June 2022

The article reveals the development processes and scientific substantiation of the marmalade of functional use, that is a functional product formulation with biologically active bifidogenic properties contributing to the prevention of the gastrointestinal tract diseases. The research relevance is due to the need to prevent the incidence of a new type of coronavirus COVID-19, that affects many systems of the human body, reduces immunity, while using drug therapy often leads to the natural intestinal microflora violation. To prevent the complications development, it is worth using food products capable of stopping destructive processes in the gastrointestinal mucosa during rehabilitation measures. The researchers developed the cranberry marmalade formulations with the probiotic culture introduction of a different mass fraction: sample 1 with probiotics in a free state, sample 2 with introduced immobilized probiotics; sample 3 with pasteurized whey enriched with a bacterial concentrate containing 0.001 % acidophilus bacillus. The control sample were the recipe of fruit and jelly marmalade. A man obtained a juice concentrate by pressing using an enzyme preparations composition of cellulolytic and pectolytic action. The researchers used the vacuum evaporation method to concentrate the juice to a dry matter content of 52-55 %; prepared the marmalade mass under laboratory conditions using traditional technology with a change in prescription components: probiotic culture introduction at the stage of swollen pectin into the cooled syrup at a temperature below 45 °C. The authors used mathematical modeling of formulations in the technological process to establish the ingredients optimal ratios; identified the rational introduction methods of acidophilus bacillus depending on the organoleptic and rheological product properties after a five-fold measurements repeatability.
Spatial clustering for reducing intraregional unevenness
Authors: Blus Pavel I. , Plotnikov Rustam V.
Published: June 2022

Growing interregional inequality in the Russian economy adversely affects the territorial integrity of the country’s socioeconomic system and limits the possibilities for the economic development of territories. The research aims to design a new method for clustering Russia’s macroregions with a view to reducing spatial heterogeneity by exploiting the potential of interregional interaction. The new economic geography, regional and spatial economics constitute the methodological basis of the study. The research applies multidimensional statistical methods. Based on the calculation of the Theil index the paper investigates the unevenness of regional development in federal districts and macroregions, which are specified in the Strategy for spatial development of the Russian Federation until 2025. The paper concludes that the suggested territorial organisation of the national economy based on the identification of the 12 macroregions does not quite help reduce the socioeconomic differences between regions keeping them trapped in the current heterogeneity. The paper develops a method for delineating the macroregions that decreases their spatial heterogeneity and favours interregional interaction in order to reduce the differences in the territorial development. The method relies on a gravity model and cluster analysis as tools used by spatial economics.
The Role of School Leaders in Promoting Successful Home–School Partnerships in Singapore’s Special Education Schools
Authors: Ang Marilyn , Spencer Brenda
Published: June 2022

Effective home–school partnerships are deemed highly important for the academic success and well-being of students with disabilities (Beveridge, 2005; Blue-Banning et al., 2004; Shelden et al., 2010). Findings of a qualitative case study of parents’ perspectives about the relationship between the home and Singapore’s special education (SPED) schools revealed that school leadership is a key contributor to positive and productive partnerships. Specifically, participants focused on the importance of leaders being welcoming and approachable, practicing strong communication skills and strategies, and having positive perceptions about parents and their role in the school. These findings suggest that school leaders who trust parents and can foster trust in their leadership can be key players in promoting positive relationships for successful home–school partnerships. While the study was conducted in Singapore, the findings are transferable to any K-12 education context, as they offer school leaders insights on how to foster a successful collaboration with the families.

Authors: Webber Charles , Nickel Jodi
Published: June 2022

This report describes the results of a series of interviews with educators in an independent school for students with unique learning needs that is characterized by a pervasive positive school culture, clear mission, and high levels of teacher participation in decision making. Researchers noted the collective understanding among teachers and administrators of the work of teacher leaders. There was a strong sense of community interdependence and collaboration that fostered teacher leadership. Strong structural support enabled teacher leaders to exercise influence beyond their classrooms. Teachers reported a strong sense of freedom and high levels of administrator trust. Teachers felt that they needed to establish a base of school-based experience in order to emerge as leaders. Other observations included high levels of teacher professionalism, collective expectations that teachers would maintain ongoing readiness to learn on the job, contagious enthusiasm, and deep commitment to the school community. Challenges to teacher leadership included a sustainable workload, altered collegial relationships, alignment of grassroots initiatives with school priorities, and pressure to meet parent expectations. Teachers recognized the fragility of their positive school culture and celebrated their professional autonomy. Teachers and administrators understood that their school must operate in a way that led parents to want to enroll their children. Finally, the researchers considered succession planning, along with the skills and knowledge that could lead to similarly high levels of innovation and success in other schools.
School Leadership’s Role in the Disruption of Math Anxiety
Authors: Horne Denise
Published: June 2022

Math anxiety, the discomfort or fear of math, spans the globe and affects a wide range of ages, from early childhood to adulthood. Teachers and students may experience math anxiety in a variety of contexts. Teachers who suffer from math anxiety often express negative attitudes about math and lack confidence in their pedagogical content knowledge of mathematics, which influences the instructional practices they choose to implement in their classrooms. Student math anxiety adversely affects student engagement and achievement in math. School leadership is fundamental to effective teaching and student learning and plays a vital role in teacher and student math anxiety. By identifying teachers and students who suffer from math anxiety, leaders can create the conditions to reduce and prevent this anxiety. Leading this work will involve the integration of both instructional and transformational leadership to develop a school culture that is open to sharing and strengthening their knowledge of instructional practices focused on math improvement. To address anxiety concerns and advance student achievement in mathematics, it is beneficial for school leaders to adopt some of the characteristics of a learning organization. To be a learning organization requires leadership to cultivate a climate of trust among members of the school community to develop collective efficacy. It entails school leaders and staff participating in professional learning and coaching opportunities to build the collective capacity of evidence-informed instructional practices in math. Using self-reflection, teachers can acknowledge their own feelings and potential biases towards mathematics and seek support to deepen their understanding of math concepts and pedagogy. The engagement of colleagues in the acquirement of best practices in math instruction will develop positive classroom environments that immerse students in the learning of math. By changing how leaders and teachers approach mathematics, math anxiety will decrease, and student achievement will improve.
Soft Landings Creating a Safe Place for Teachers to Take Risks While Learning
Authors: Thomas Christy
Published: June 2022

Leaders have a significant influence on student learning and are responsible for leading teacher professional learning in schools. While principals often lead teacher learning, others assist in this role. With the recent pandemic, it is clear there is a need for continued teacher learning. Extensive research on professional development has been conducted and is well known to be a strategy for improving teacher learning. While professional development offers short-term opportunities, a focus on professional learning in schools emphasizes sustained, ongoing experiences that engage teachers in inquiry around their practices. This mixed study explored the impact of sustained professional development. Semi-structured interviews and focus groups were conducted and analyzed. Documents were identified for quantitative analysis and then integrated with qualitative data. Findings showed the notion of soft landings, as referred to by participants, a culture where it was safe to risk and try to implement ideas they were learning. This culture was an important aspect of this sustained and ongoing experience for teachers. Key leadership practices nurturing the culture of soft landings were developing collective commitment, encouraging risk-taking, promoting collaboration, and providing individualized support. This study offers insights into how leadership can play a role in providing sustained experiences to create a school culture that nurtures teacher learning. This article holds significance to those leading teacher learning in schools and those interested in utilizing leadership practices that attend to building a culture of soft landings.
Trust and Go: Enhancing Collaborative School Cultures Through Improv
Authors: DeGagné Derrique
Published: June 2022

Contemporary educational leaders are tasked with supporting their teams, with limited time and resources, to unite and thrive through political, social, economic, and environmental instability. Educational scholars and leaders agree upon the need to foster collaboration within school communities; the practices for achieving this outcome are not always clear. The primary research question of my integrative literature review is: How can improvisational theory support educational leaders to enhance collaboration within school cultures? Secondary questions include: 

What are the guiding principles of improvisation?
What does the research reveal about leading collaboration within schools?
What practices surface because of this research?

 
I conducted an integrative literature review and used thematic analysis within a constructivist approach to examine whether the principles of improvisation can offer leaders insight into practices for establishing and sustaining collaborative school cultures. Improvisational theatre offers leaders a lens to examine the work of developing and sustaining collaborative cultures. After an extensive review of two bodies of literature, I identified four themes common to improvisation and leading collaborative school cultures: Connect, Define the Rules, Share the Lead, and Play the Game. Nested within each of these themes, I uncovered eight practices school-based leaders can apply to enhance their school’s collaborative cultures: Use Time and Space Creatively; Create Opportunities for Meaningful Dialogue; Co-create Norms; Articulate Vision, Values, and Goals; Integrate Evidence-Informed Pedagogical Practices; Provide Shared Leadership; Amplify Strengths; and Fail Forward. The model that emerged from this research will prove useful to school-based administrators and other leaders looking to empower their teams to solve problems and innovate in community.
Leading the Charge: Shaping the Integration of Technology
Authors: Looysen Ashley , Rachid Moe
Published: June 2022

If the advancement of technology and knowledge were to somehow freeze today, current students would have a very fair chance at leading successful careers and being positive contributors to societies of the future.  For obvious reasons, that is not going to happen. Watching television for a handful of minutes or browsing the internet for a short while will more than likely alert the user to the reality of technology: it is ever-changing, endlessly advancing, and rapidly evolving beyond imagination.  In light of this, teachers and leaders face one of the most important, yet one of the most challenging, tasks: how can educators effectively prepare learners for this continuous advancement in technology?

Developing future-ready learners requires teachers and leadership teams to embrace changes in technology and hone their practices to reflect that.  Ideally, educators must incorporate the teaching of skills and competencies related to the creation and use of technology, so that future generations have the tools to be successful contributors to their societies.  Likewise, leaders must take full advantage of their influence in order move teacher practice forward. Maintaining a balance between being a catalyst of change and empathetic to the needs of others will likely result in positive changes towards making the use of technology a staple of every classroom. The shift in teaching and learning discussed in this paper is not simply the addition of gadgets to the classroom setting, nor is it a call for some written work to be typed, coding challenges to be completed sporadically, and the building of Lego Mindstorms as STEM projects.  While these activities definitely involve the use of technology, the idea is for educators to build learner confidence and skills to be able to use any technology that becomes available, and to problem-solve and collaborate to create and invent within all the different realms of technology.

A number of countries, including Indonesia, have taken preventive measures and made efforts to break the chain of the spread of COVID-19. The impact of government policies is felt in the economic sector, which causes many people to lose their jobs but is required to meet the needs of daily life. This affects the increase in crime rates during the pandemic, which coincides with the government's policy to implement health protocols by using face shields outside the home. This allows the discovery of evidence in the form of a face shield to be identified through DNA touch. This type of research is experimental analytic with a time-series design. This study aims to analyze the effect of exposure to the environmental temperature range of 28.2 oC - 29.3 oC and humidity range of 88 - 94.2% on the quality of DNA touch on the face shield by giving the 1st, 7th, and 14th-day duration treatment using STR CODIS. TH01 and D18S5. The result is an effect of prolonged exposure time on DNA quality, as evidenced by the Anova test with p < 0.05.

The recent outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 across the globe and the absence of a specific cure against the disease lead the scientific community to investigate some alternative indigenous treatments. SARS-CoV-2 is the virus responsible for the coronavirus ailment 2019 (COVID-19). This virus has 4 auxiliary proteins namely the S (spike), E (envelope), M (membrane), and N (nucleocapsid) proteins. The main proteases and RNA dependent RNA polymerase are also essential structures by which the virus replicates and survives. Each of these proteins are structures of the virus that are potential targets for drugs which are leads in the drug discovery process of any drug for the virus. Currently available treatments are not specific to the disease and therefore carry unwanted adverse effects that can be highly dangerous and sometimes fatal. Many of these treatments are supplementary in nature or based on repurposed drugs from other viral outbreaks. Alternatives of conventional drugs are required to control the spread and severity of the disease. Allicin, curcumin and their derivatives have been researched for their antiviral property and shown to have good binding affinity towards SARS-CoV-2 structures essential in their survival, especially the main proteases and RNA dependent RNA polymerases. The structural bioinformatics tools have elicited methods to predict the bioactivity of the natural product-based compounds. Apart from the beneficial medication that they offer, natural products carry along other advantages for the current pandemic situation in terms of supply, logistics, and affordability.

Published: June 2022

Infection by Staphylococcus aureus, which contains alpha hemolysis and toxins that induce skin necrosis, can occur if incisions are left untreated. Infectious wound treatment that isn't dosed properly might have negative effects including bacterial resistance, hence plant-based solutions like binahong (Anredera cordifolia (Ten.) Steenis) leaf extract is needed. Alkaloids, saponins, and flavonoids found in binahong leaf act as anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, increase fibroblast cells, and increase collagen production throughout the healing process and scar tissue creation. Collagen production begins on day 3 of the proliferative stage and continues to increase until day 21. The goal of the study was to determine the thickness of collagen tissue using Masson's Trichrome staining on the 8th day of wound healing infected with S. aureus after administering binahong leaf extract. The research method used a completely randomized design with 4 research groups, normal control, negative control, treatment 25% (P1), and 50% (P2) concentrations of binahong leaf extract. S. aureus was cultured using BHI, MC, and BHIA media (Mc Farlan standard 0.5; 20L). Wounds were made on the back skin of the rat with a 2cm of length and 2mm of depth, then induced by S. aureus. The Binahong leaf extract was applied to the wound area in the morning and evening for 8th days. The paraffin method was used to prepare slides of the skin tissue, 10% NBF as fixation solution, and stained with Massonâ€™s Trichrome. The thickness was measured in 5 fields of view at 400x magnification with a score of 0-4. The results showed that the P2 group had the same average collagen thickness as the normal control group, which was 50% in each field of view (score 3). While the average thickness of the P1 group was 25% in each field of view (score 2). These results indicate that the administration of binahong leaf extract at 25% and 50% concentrations can stimulate the formation of collagen on S. aureus-infected wounds.
