Authors: Dihan Sintia  , Hendri Azwar
Published: September 2024

The writing of this thesis aims to find out the marketing strategies in an effort to increase room occupancy rates at the Labuan Sundai Resort. The approach used in this research is descriptive qualitative with SWOT analysis. Interviews, observations and documentation were used for the data collection process. There were 3 respondents from resort employees, and 3 respondents from guests staying at the resort. The research results showed that Labuan Sundai Resort attracts guests with beautiful views, exciting activities and complete packages. However, limited electricity, small room sizes and limited access are obstacles. Promotion via social media and sales calls is effective, but requires expanding the strategy. Building facilities and promotions with influencers can increase attractiveness, even though the threat of competitors, overpricing and natural conditions still exists.

Published: September 2024

This article discusses the crucial role of accountants in supporting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Indonesia. SDGs represent a series of global objectives aimed at enhancing societal well-being and sustainability worldwide. Accountants play a strategic role in ensuring that companies and local financial institutions comply with sustainability standards and contribute positively to the attainment of SDGs. They assist in preparing transparent and accurate sustainability reports, measuring non-financial performance, identifying sustainability-related risks, and raising awareness about SDGs among employees and stakeholders. Theoretical studies indicate that accountants can contribute to seven specific SDGs in Indonesia, including improving quality education, gender equality, decent work and economic growth, industry, innovation, and infrastructure, responsible consumption and production, climate action, and combating corruption. The research method employed is Narrative Literature Review (NLR) through Google Scholar, focusing on the relationship between the role of accountants and SDGs in Indonesia. The findings suggest that transparency in governance and integrity are key to supporting the achievement of SDGs. Accountants play a role in enhancing transparency in financial management and preventing corruption within organizations. They can also serve as role models for integrity for students and the general public. To achieve SDGs by 2030, collaboration among all parties, including accountants, local financial institutions, and professional organizations, is necessary. Innovation is required to support the role of accountants in addressing the changes towards SDGs 2030. With strong support and collaboration, it is hoped that Indonesia can achieve SDGs in a more transparent, accountable, and corruption-free manner.

Authors: Zhang Hanqiu
Published: September 2024

Agriculture plays a paramount role in the development of developing countries. However, the agricultural value chains in these countries still face challenges such as lack of funding, restricted access to financial institutions, and limited market entry opportunities. Nevertheless, the rise of financial technology has provided technological support for the development of agricultural value chains in developing countries to some extent. Currently, there is a lack of relevant literature on the impact of fintech on the agricultural value chains in developing countries. Therefore, this paper adopts a literature review approach to summarize the main impacts of fintech on the agricultural value chains in developing countries in three aspects. Additionally, it identifies a challenge called the digital divide in current applications. This paper specifically outlines the impact of fintech on the agricultural value chains in developing countries in terms of mobile money, digital markets, and blockchain, aiming to provide clear direction for the future development of agricultural value chains in developing countries.

Authors: YASMIN M , YASMEEN M , YASMIN R
Published: September 2024

Maternal anxiety during labor can negatively impact the birthing process and the overall experience of childbirth. Breathing exercises, such as Lamaze techniques, are believed to help reduce anxiety and potentially shorten labor duration, but evidence supporting these claims remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of Lamaze breathing exercises on labor duration and maternal anxiety in pregnant women. Methods: A case-control study was conducted in the Gynecology and Obstetrics department of Nishtar Hospital, Multan, from June 2023 to June 2024. The study included 100 nulliparous pregnant women with a gestational age of 38-42 weeks, healthy vertex fetal presentation, and uncomplicated spontaneous vaginal delivery. Participants were divided into two groups: the control group (n=50) received routine checkups. In contrast, the cases group (n=50) was instructed to perform four stages of Lamaze breathing techniques during each phase of labor for at least 30 minutes. Maternal anxiety during labor was assessed using a 20-item State Anxiety Inventory. Statistical analysis was performed to compare anxiety levels and labor duration between the two groups. Results: In the early latent phase, anxiety scores were similar between the cases group (36.51 ± 2.09) and the control group (36.32 ± 3.49), with no significant difference (p=0.811). In the late latent phase, anxiety scores remained comparable between the groups (37 ± 2.66 vs 37.18 ± 1.95, p=0.768). However, in the late active phase, a statistically significant anxiety reduction was observed in the cases group compared to the control group (37.93 ± 2.08 vs 43.18 ± 2.27, p<0.001). Additionally, the duration of the first stage of labor was significantly shorter in the cases group compared to the control group (682.95 ± 189.74 minutes vs 1038.07 ± 263.05 minutes, p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the duration of the second stage of labor between the groups (20.08 ± 11.50 minutes vs 25.53 ± 15.28 minutes, p=0.140). Conclusion: Lamaze breathing techniques are effective in reducing maternal anxiety during the active phase of labor and significantly shortening the duration of the first stage of labor in pregnant women. These findings support incorporating breathing exercises into prenatal care to enhance maternal comfort and potentially improve labor outcomes.

The Participants
Authors: Newland Paul
Published: September 2024

While universities increasingly offer institutional support for academic filmmaking, in the specific case of ethics this support can sometimes become an impediment to creativity. The requirement to follow comprehensive university ethical procedures - which are usually developed with great care and attention to the needs of researchers but with little or no focus on creative practice research - might stymie the artistic practice of filmmakers. My video The Participants: a reflection on the ethics of smartphone filmmaking as research aims to offer a provocation intended to challenge university practitioner-researchers to consider the ethics of their practice, but also, at the same time, a provocation to university ethics protocols and procedures. Specifically, the films seeks to encourage the viewer to reflect on the ways in which filmmaker researchers working in in public places might better consider the ethical issues raised by their practice, especially when subsequently employing (and manipulating) footage of individuals who have not given their consent to be filmed. For The Participants I used an iPhone 11 to capture video images of tourists videoing with their smartphones at Grand Central Station, New York.
Attempting an Ontology of Participatory Film
Authors: Cooke Paul , Schwandner-Sievers Stephanie
Published: September 2024

In this video-essay, participatory filmmaker, Paul Cooke, and social anthropologist, Stephanie Schwandner-Sievers, discuss in detail images from two activist-focussed, participatory video projects Cooke has run with young people in South Africa and Lebanon. They ask whether participatory film can communicate their creators’ activist intentions to audiences often far removed from the original context of production. They challenge themselves to answer this question by deliberately juxtaposing their respective disciplines’ distinct philosophical approaches to ontology.
Bazin’s foundational discussion of the ontology of the photographic image (as a universally relatable ‘essence’ encapsulated in the image) is juxtaposed with anthropology’s ‘ontological turn’ (a radical cultural-relativist focus on people and contextually situated meaning). The video-essay reflects on whether the young participant filmmakers’ aesthetic choices generate images which speak for themselves or, alternatively, whether the transfigurations these images undergo through different registers of representation and curation – as the films move from community showcasing event to international film festival or academic setting – change their originally-intended meanings. In identifying tensions between proximity and distance, intimacy and exploitation, the potentials and limitations of mediating local activists’ voices to remote audiences through film is left up to the spectator for final arbitration.

Blue toe syndrome
Authors: Ninkovic-Hall GA , Sritharan K
Published: September 2024

Blue toe syndrome (BTS) is not an uncommon referral, with vascular services often being the first port of call from primary care or the emergency department setting. It is a condition which is often overlooked, misdiagnosed or falsely labelled in the wider medical setting. Nevertheless, it warrants a thorough history, examination and assessment due to its potential implications. BTS was first named by Karmody et al in 1976,1,2 with the perceived pathophysiology being that of a vascular aetiology. As its name suggests, the basis of its presentation is the finding of blue or purple discolouration of one or more toes, in one or both feet, without a clearly recognised underlying factor.3,4 It typically occurs in the absence of any oblivious trauma, cold-induced lesion or disorders that induce generalised cyanosis.4

Authors: Quimbo Reselle Joy B , Caballo John Harry S , Ganzon Janica Rei T , Palapan Wency Jay M
Published: September 2024

This qualitative study explored the landscape of online complaint posts found on the UM Confession Facebook page, focusing on the expression of complaint and impoliteness strategies within this widely-used anonymous sharing platform. Utilizing pragmatic analysis alongside theoretical frameworks including Trosborg’s (1994) complaint strategies, Culpeper’s (1996) impoliteness frameworks, Searle’s (1979) illocutionary forces framework, and Leech’s (1983) politeness maxims, a dataset comprising 60 individual complaint posts from the UM Confession Facebook page was gathered and examined to discern prevalent patterns. The results unveiled a predominance of direct complaint strategies, often facilitated by the platform’s anonymity, alongside a nuanced utilization of positive impoliteness strategies. Notably, the tact maxim emerged as the most frequently violated politeness maxim, highlighting the tension between personal expression and social harmony within the digital realm. These findings illuminate the intricacies of online communication and pave the way for future research endeavors. Thus, prospective studies could delve deeper into understanding the impact of anonymity on online discourse, conduct comparative analyses across diverse online platforms, and explore intervention strategies aimed at fostering positive digital engagement and community well-being.

Published: September 2024

A evolução da ocupação humana na Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Paraíba do Norte, especificamente na Região do Alto Paraíba e Sub-bacia do Rio Taperoá, ao longo de 360 anos, destaca mudanças no uso da terra e os impactos da antropização. A pesquisa busca entender as transformações na paisagem causadas pela atividade humana, analisando décadas específicas, com foco nos anos de 1985, 1995, 2005, 2015 e 2021. Ao longo desse período, observou-se um aumento significativo da antropização, com redução da cobertura florestal, expansão da agropecuária e urbanização desordenada. A substituição de vegetação nativa por áreas agrícolas e pastagens aumentou a vulnerabilidade à erosão e comprometeu a qualidade dos recursos hídricos. Além disso, a urbanização intensificou a impermeabilização do solo, contribuindo para problemas de inundação e contaminação das águas. A análise dos dados revela uma tendência preocupante de aumento das áreas urbanizadas, que cresceram em 643% de 1985 a 2015. Isso levanta questões sobre a produção de efluentes domésticos, industriais e comerciais, e a contaminação dos corpos d'água, que já estão reduzidos devido ao assoreamento e práticas agrícolas prejudiciais. Portanto, sugere-se uma investigação mais aprofundada sobre o processo de urbanização na região estudada, visando desenvolver estratégias de manejo sustentável que possam mitigar os impactos negativos e promover a recuperação ambiental, especialmente no que diz respeito à qualidade dos recursos hídricos.

Authors: Mulefu Roselyne Muhandale , Ndung’u Kahura , Kamau Alice
Published: September 2024

The study investigated the influence of framing messages in TV advertisements on the youth engagement in football betting. This research used a mixed-methods approach to investigate the influence of positive framing on youth engagement in social media sports betting. Quantitative data was collected through surveys and analyzed using SPSS software. Qualitative data was gathered through interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis with NVivo software. The target population was youths aged 18-35 residing in an area with high social media use and reported increase in youth sports betting. Results showed a strong correlation (47% explained variance) between exposure to positive gambling portrayals in advertisements and increased youth betting participation. Among the 116 participants (81.1% response rate), a significant portion (39.7%) reported frequent betting. Statistical analysis confirmed that message framing in advertisements significantly predicted youth football betting tendencies (F(1, 114) = 100.938, p < .001). These findings highlight the urgency for stricter regulations on gambling advertisements (especially those targeting young people) and public awareness campaigns to mitigate this risk. The study's findings conclusively demonstrate a worrisome link between positive portrayals of gambling in advertisements and increased youth engagement in football betting. To address this pressing issue, stricter regulations on such advertising, particularly those targeting young audiences, are crucial. Public awareness campaigns educating young people about the risks of gambling are also essential for mitigating this harmful trend.
The Public Face of Grief: Parental Bereavement and Social Media
Authors: Moules Dr. Nancy J. , Laing Dr. Catherine M. , George Dr. Theodore , Neimeyer Dr. Robert A.
Published: September 2024

The expression of grief in social media is a complex and multi-layered issue that is ever present in our lives, especially with the increase in social media engagement. In this study, we interviewed 10 bereaved parents around their experiences of social media as vehicle to express their grief following the death of a child. We also interviewed 10 people who posted on sites offering bereavement support and examined multiple social media sites dedicated to grief and loss of a child. Guided by Gadamerian philosophical hermeneutics, we developed several interpretations of this complex and complicated relationship of grief and social media. In this paper, we discuss some of our findings around interpretations of relevant emotion, honoring the deceased, and seeking orientation in a changed world. Advice from bereaved parents is offered to others with similar losses and to those posting on bereavement sites. In the end, we are faced with the interpretation that this relationship of social media and grief is many things, but it is never “neutral.”

Effects of Mobile App on Memory Retention of Vocabulary Knowledge among Low Proficiency EFL Learners
Authors: Dan Cao , Ismail Lilliati , Razali Abu Bakar
Published: September 2024

A significant challenge in EFL vocabulary learning is ensuring long-term retention and effective use of newly acquired words, often hindered by limited exposure and meaningful practice. Considerable research has been conducted on mobile technologies for vocabulary learning in a second language (L2), but the comprehensive mastery of EFL vocabulary form, meaning, and use via mobile platforms in short-term and long-term memory has rarely been addressed. This quasi-experimental study investigated the effects of a mobile vocabulary app versus a paper-based wordlist on high-frequency core vocabulary from CET 4 among Chinese university students. Data were collected from 82 EFL freshmen at a private university in China from two intact groups. The experimental group used the Bai Cizhan app for out-of-classroom learning, while the control group used traditional paper-based methods. Vocabulary knowledge was tested through pretests, immediate recall tests, and delayed recall post-tests. Findings indicated that Bai Cizhan group significantly enhanced L2 vocabulary learning in improving high-frequency core words vocabulary in terms of form and meaning (Form: F (1, 80) = 23.957, p < .05, η2 = .230; Meaning: F (1, 80) = 16.342, p < .05, η2 = .170) in short-term memory, but no significant difference (Wilks’ Lambda=.187, F(3, 78)=1.641; P>.05) in long-term memory. This study provides empirical evidence for the effectiveness of mobile-assisted vocabulary learning and offers insights into meeting the vocabulary needs of EFL learners.

This study aimed to clarify the differences between and characteristics of university students’ and their parents’ perceptions of family functioning. We conducted an internet survey involving university students and their parents, which consisted of a questionnaire about attributes and a family functioning scale (Survey of Family Environment; SFE). The responses were obtained from 26 pairs of university students and their parents. There were no significant differences in the Overall Satisfaction Score and the Overall Importance Score of the SFE between university students and their parents. Among the satisfaction scores for individual items (item-SSs), scores for “Family’s going on leisure outings together,” “Family’s being friendly to the global environment” and “Managing family members’ diet” in parents were significantly higher than the scores for the respective items in university students. The significant differences in the scores of some items suggest that the differences in the perceptions of overall family functioning between university students and their parents can be ignored in settings where only overall family functioning is evaluated. However, it is necessary to consider the data on all family members in addition to the SFE score in family nursing practice.

METHODS: A Cross-sectional descriptive, and analytical methodology was applied to describe the knowledge and application of nursing ethical principles by nurses, among a study population of 257 nurses, of which 107 were registered nurses and 150 were enrolled nurses- a subcategory of qualified nurses and out of which 37 declined to participate in the study. The data were collected from the remaining all population sample of 220 all nurses. Descriptive statistics on the respondents’ knowledge and applications of ethical principles, and the relationship of the respondents’ demographic characteristics as independent variables and the knowledge and applications of ethical principles as dependent variables were analyzed.

RESULTS: The findings revealed poor knowledge and poor application of ethical principle of respect for person or autonomy (42%; 27,9%), non-maleficence (45.4%; 54.8%), beneficence (48.8%; 38.8%) and justice (40.5%; 43.4%) among the respondents.  A significance association was found between good knowledge of non-maleficence and being a registered nurse with p-value =0.01, as well as of good knowledge and working experience of five years and more with a p=0.01 and p=0.02 respectively. Male nurses were also more knowledgeable about justice (p-value=0.03) than the female counterparts.

CONCLUSION: The study revealed poor knowledge and poor application of all four ethical principles among the respondents.

Some behaviour patterns performed during the adolescence stage might serve as the basis for gender violence in adulthood relationships. The main aim of this paper is to analyse the level of endorsement and normalization of some specific situations related to gender violence among adolescent population, paying special attention to those beliefs that seem to justify that normalization. The participants were 362 teenagers (188 men and 174 women) whose mean age was 15.39 (SD= 0.999). By 2016, they were studying secondary education in both public and charter schools of the Region of Madrid. The results show that some mechanisms related to control of intimacy and abuse through technologies are very present in adolescent relationships, being observed those mechanisms as performed by both sexes. Nevertheless, adolescents’ beliefs related to love relationships are shown as different depending on the sex of the participants: men present a broader agreement about sexist beliefs, and they sometimes tend to justify gender violence as a sign of love. This fact might be taken as a risk factor for a future violent relationship.

AbstractSome organizations recommend that healthcare professionals overcome their own sexist beliefs and emphasize the importance of dealing with gender inequality. Thus, this study focused on: (1) find out the levels of ambivalent sexism in a network of mental health professionals in Spain, (2) analyze the association between sexism, sociodemographic characteristics and gender perspective, and (3) study the association between sexism and gender inequality detection during clinical attention. The sample was comprised of 449 mental health professionals who filled in the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory and another ad hoc questionnaire developed. Variables were compared by nonparametric analysis. The data showed low levels of sexism in the sample, and that the professionals who obtained lower levels of sexism found more problems related to gender inequality during clinical attention. The results underline the importance of intervention for reducing sexism of professionals in order to contribute to a more unbiased detection of problems of gender inequality.

Cross-sectional and correlational study, whose objective was to describe the relationship between burden, expressed emotion (EE) and caregiver experience in 14 relatives of schizophrenic patients, selected in a non-probabilistic manner. It was found that more than half have intense burden, average levels of criticism and emotional over involvement, positive care experience medium high and negative low average. The positive subscales of the caregiver’s experience correlated with each other and with the positive dimension, but not with the other scales. The negative subscales of the caregiver’s experience are related to the negative dimension, and among them family consequences were associated with difficult behaviors, problems with services, stigma, need for support, dependence and loss. Dependence with difficult behaviors, need for support and loss. Need for support with problems with services, stigma and loss. Stigma with problems with services and loss. Difficult behaviors with negative symptoms. The negative dimension of care is related to all the variables, the family burden is related to EE and all the negative dimensions of the care experience except with problems with services. EE correlates with family burden and negative dimensions of care experience except with stigma, loss and problems with services.

UFO experiences describe contacts with UFOs, extraterrestrial beings, covert alien visits and abductions. Although science provides enough advances that bet for the existence of life outside the earth, these experiences have been related and equated with beliefs in the paranormal under an integrative model given the magical content they manifest. The following report presents a psychosocial study based on the statistical justification of the CEU-28 (Ufological Experiences Questionnaire), which examines the underlying dimensions of UFO experiences-beliefs, as well as their social impact on the Spanish-speaking culture. The sample consisted of 309 subjects accidentally selected from the Spanish general population. The Factorial Analysis confirmed that UFO experiences can be represented based on four dimensions: Ufological Beliefs (C1), UFO Contacts (E1), Fear of UFO Experiences (T1) and Form Beliefs (C2). Theanalysis of items suggested that these beliefs could present both models: magical-divergent (irrational conceptions) and critical-divergent (rational conceptions). This result invites us to review the validity of the integrative model including the discrimination of both conceptions.
