The Lavender and Grass oil Aromatherapy Making Training is a Community Service project to disseminate relevant knowledge and technology that is easy to use. In addition, it provides value by improving skills and motivate to establish a home industry in the pursuit of a small business. A USB Pharmacy lecturer conducted this program for people of the Genengan community, located at RT 08 RW 12, Mojosongo Village, Jebres Sub-district, Surakarta City. Oils from Lemongrass and Lavender Herbs are used in aromatherapy making training. These organic components have not yet been utilized by community members or locals to produce aromatherapy that is beneficial to their health. Typically, pharmacies charge relatively high costs for products that include aromatherapy. It is envisaged that the Geneng community's training in aromatherapy production will boost the village's added value. Making products for aromatherapy using lavender and lemongrass is one of the projects that has the potential to be used as a home industry activity.

The period of the pandemic and the imposed distance teaching in all educational institutions for almost two years changed the way of approaching the subjects on many levels. Teachers were called upon in difficult circumstances and under pressure to adapt their teaching materials, to prioritize their teaching techniques differently, to make use of the available modern and asynchronous communication platforms, restructuring their teaching accordingly. In this article we will present the results of a qualitative research conducted between March-May 2023 in the region of Thessaloniki, aiming to investigate the views of French teachers of public secondary and primary education on the distance teaching of French as a foreign language. The survey involved 20 permanent and contractual French language teachers who were teaching in secondary and primary education during the period of the health crisis. A semi-structured interview was used as a research instrument in order to have a question guide leading to specific answers. Specifically, the following axes, which are the research questions of the study, were posed: a) how did they organize the foreign language lesson during distance education and which teaching techniques were chosen; b) which tools of the WebEx educational platform were used; c) to what extent did they use the educational platforms e-class & E-me education; d) how did they evaluate the degree of development of students' linguistic communicative and pragmatic skills? e) what do they consider to be the main obstacles in distance teaching of foreign language? The teachers in the study have responded to the new challenging data, adapted their teaching practice and raised questions and concerns about distance teaching of French as a foreign language.

Authors: Sija Andrew
Published: April 2024

This study aims to investigate the challenges derived from implementing online learning and its effect on students' learning performances. The key challenges mentioned in this study were the learning resources, learning environment, self-discipline and technological sufficiency. In specific, it is to assess the relationship between the selected independent variables i.e. the key challenges with the dependent variable (learning performances). Research suggests that online learning has been shown to increase retention of information among students and consume less time. It is the objective of the researcher in this study to illustrate and present the effectiveness, relevancy and applicability of online learning as an alternative to sustainable education in government schools. Although quite a number of studies have been performed and some researchers have delved deep into their interest in investigating these issues, however, researchers still found limited information from online learning specifically on the challenges which crucially affect students’ learning performance. To achieve this goal, a total of 210 samples of students from two government secondary schools have been taken into consideration, and (from SMK Baru Bintulu and SMK Bintulu). The data collection technique was carried out by distributing questionnaires and all data were gathered, processed and analyzed using statistical technique SPSS version 26. The descriptive analysis was used to gauge various responses across various dimensions such as in the respondent’s demographic information, additionally, inferential analysis was mainly for examining the relationship between the challenges (learning resources, learning environment, self-discipline and technological sufficiency) and student’s learning performance. The results revealed learning environment challenge is the strongest predictor in influencing student’s learning performance with unstandardized coefficients, β = .356, t = 4.726 p <.05, followed by self-regulation challenge with β = .316, t = 4.182, p <.05. The most significant contribution of this study is that it explores for the first time the investigation of challenges and effect of online learning on students’ learning performance among students at government schools, this has brought a crucial impact and pushed to the government to take immediate action regarding the matter.

Authors: Şengül Osman , Kozyreva O. V. , Başoğlu Umut Davut
Published: April 2024

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of therapeutic play training on physical health in 10-12 year old children with back muscle weakness. Experimental research model was used in the study. According to the results of the Functional Movement Screening test, 16 children (8 Study, 8 Control) with back muscle weakness were included in the study as participants. According to the pre-test analysis results, children with weak back muscles were given therapeutic play training with 7 different games adapted to increase healthy posture and physical development for 8 weeks and 3 days a week. At the end of the therapeutic game education application process, the FMS test (post-test) was administered to the children again and the results were recorded. The groups were homogeneously distributed, independent sample t-test was used to determine the difference between the research and control groups, and paired sample t-test was used to compare the data within groups. All statistical values obtained were evaluated at 95% confidence interval and significance was evaluated at p<0.05 level. According to the findings obtained from the study, a statistically significant difference was found when the FMS pre-test-post-test results of the children in the study group, in which therapeutic games were applied, were analyzed (p<0.05).  As a result of the FMS pre-test before the education program was started, it was determined that 7 of the 8 participants, who could not reach a sufficient score and whose back muscles were found to be weak, reached a sufficient score according to the FMS post-test results after the applications, and only 1 participant showed positive development although he could not get a sufficient score. When the FMS pre-post test results applied to the control group were examined, it was determined that there was no statistically significant difference p>0.05.

L’UTILISATION DE LA RECHERCHE PAR LES ENSEIGNANTS D’ÉDUCATION PHYSIQUE ET SPORTIVE : UNE ÉTUDE EXPLORATOIRE / THE USE OF RESEARCH BY PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORTS TEACHERS: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY
Authors: Pasco Denis , Roure Cédric , Bonnard Anne
Published: April 2024

In a context where teaching quality is associated with teachers' ability to base their pedagogical practices on research findings, the aim of this study was to explore physical education teachers’ use of research. One hundred and forty (140) teachers working in a school district in the North-East of France completed the “Physical Education Teachers’ Use of Research” questionnaire. Data analysis revealed a positive attitude towards research. However, this attitude does not translate into concrete use of research as teachers have difficulties to identify research that could be useful to them, and struggle to interpret its conclusions. Results also indicated the importance of teaching qualifications and teacher training in physical education teachers’ use of research. Efforts need to be made in initial and in-service training to teach physical education teachers how to use research for the benefit of pedagogical practices that promote student learning.

Dans un contexte où la qualité de l’enseignement est associée à la capacité des enseignants à baser leurs pratiques pédagogiques sur les résultats de la recherche, l’objectif de cette étude était de documenter l’utilisation de la recherche par les enseignants d’éducation physique et sportive. Cent-quarante enseignants (140) exerçant dans une académie du Nord-Est de la France ont répondu au questionnaire d’utilisation de la recherche par les enseignants d’EPS. Les analyses révèlent une attitude majoritairement positive des enseignants vis-à-vis de la recherche. Cependant, cette attitude ne se traduit pas par une utilisation concrète de la recherche dans la mesure où les enseignants sont en difficulté pour identifier des travaux de recherche qui pourraient leur être utiles et peinent à en interpréter les conclusions. Les résultats révèlent aussi l’importance du diplôme et du concours d’accès à l’enseignement dans l’utilisation de la recherche par les enseignants. Des efforts sont à faire en formation initiale et en formation continue pour apprendre aux enseignants d’EPS à utiliser la recherche au bénéfice de pratiques pédagogiques favorisant l’apprentissage des élèves.

THE RELEVANCE OF HUMAN RESOURCES AUDITING AND CULTURE ON EMPLOYEES' PERFORMANCE AND ORGANIZATIONAL GROWTH
Authors: Kamara Santigie Abu
Published: April 2024

In order to shape employee performance and propel corporate progress, this essay examines the significance of organizational culture and human resources (HR) audits. The dynamic and competitive business climate of today has made the efficient management of human resources even more important. The purpose of HR auditing is to guarantee compliance, efficacy, and efficiency by thoroughly examining and assessing HR policies, practices, and procedures. Employee attitudes and actions are shaped by the common values, beliefs, and behaviors that make up the organizational culture. According to the article, HR audits are essential for improving worker performance and overall company development. Organizations can pinpoint areas for enhancement, appraise adherence to legal and regulatory mandates, and appraise the efficacy of their HR procedures by regularly undertaking audits. Finding gaps, dangers, and chances to optimize HR activities, rules, and practices is made easier with the aid of this careful review. Additionally, the essay highlights how important organizational culture is in shaping workers' productivity and the development of the company. Higher performance and productivity are the outcomes of a strong and supportive workplace culture that encourages employee motivation, engagement, and dedication. On the other hand, poor employee performance and inhibited organizational growth might result from a toxic or dysfunctional culture. A positive company culture can be shaped and reinforced by auditing methods, as demonstrated by the interaction between HR auditing and the culture that is examined. A culture that supports workers' performance and fosters organizational growth can be developed with the help of HR audits, which can show whether components of the organization's culture are in line with its objectives and core values. The article concludes that employees' performance and organizational success can be greatly impacted by a strategic approach to HR auditing in conjunction with a positive company culture. Organizations can maximize their human capital, improve employee happiness and retention, and achieve long-term sustainable growth by conducting frequent evaluations of HR procedures and cultivating a good culture.

Authors: Mohd. Shakir Hussain Choudhury  , Rupali Daulagajao
Published: April 2024

Nestled in the southern part of Assam, Cachar holds a fascinating and rich history. This remote area, situated in the northeastern corner of India and endowed with abundant natural resources, proved to be an enticing prospect for the British colonial administration. The tumultuous conditions prevalent in Cachar during the latter part of the Cachari rule under Govinda Chandra provided an opening for the British. Following the tragic assassination of Govinda Chandra in 1830, the English East India Company annexed Cachar on 14th August 1832. Subsequently, with an aim for administrative efficiency, the British government embarked on various developmental initiatives, including the construction and improvement of infrastructure such as roads and bridges, as part of their colonization endeavors in the region. This initiative indirectly contributed to the overall well-being of the people of Cachar. This paper aims to highlight the advancements made in the development of road networks in Cachar, essential elements that not only facilitated internal and external trade and commerce but also created avenues for new markets. The progress in infrastructure played a pivotal role in the expansion of the tea plantation in Cachar. Furthermore, these developments proved crucial for British administrators in Cachar, empowering them to effectively govern the region.

Authors: Tabasum Sabina , Suntharalingam Keerthika
Published: April 2024

Globally, one of the twentieth-century developments is the increased participation of women workers in factories. Indeed, women workers continue to play an essential role in the global economy. But the participation of women in wage labour is regarded as a form of violence in South Asian countries, particularly Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. However, this study documenting the experiences of violence against women in garments factory contributes to the idea of ‘violence against women as part of Globalization. This study recognizes the relationship between the different sufferings of women workers in garment factories through a gender relations lens and the key issues involving gender inequality, education, coercion and sexual harassment and how they represent global inequality and local identity. This article also offers to understand the trends and challenges of the women workers choosing a career in the garment factory. This study was conducted among the different ages of garment women workers in the garments of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka using ethnographic study under qualitative research method involving in-depth interviews, survey and participant observation was used to collect data about their experiences and suffering of violence against women. The preliminary results of the research show that 98% of women from marginalized backgrounds have faced social, cultural, economic and health issues. In addition, 45% of women reported being sexually harassed by male garment employees. This study extends the position of women, which is the most pressing challenge for women’s empowerment. Following an ethnographic analysis of research findings, it can be said that only equal rights, respect, and gender equality pave a new path for women and eliminate all forms of violence globally.
Between Work and Family: The Impact of Workload on Career Women
Authors: Khumaera Anisya , Bakar Resekiani Mas
Published: April 2024

The dual role conflict of a career woman occurs due to an imbalance between workload in the office and time with family. This study aimed to determine the effect of workload on work-family balance in career women. The total number of respondents in the study amounted to 200 career women who were married and had children. The measuring instruments used in this study are the workload and work-family balance scales. The result of this study reveals that workload and work-life balance have a negative relationship among career-oriented women. Researchers have found that women who have a high workload find it difficult to strike the right balance between work and family responsibilities. This can lead to an increased sense of stress, which ultimately affects their overall well-being. The implication of this study shows that the ability to manage workload in the office is needed so that the roles of an employee, wife, and housewife can be balanced. Companies should establish a system that offers convenience for women, ensuring that the workload is distributed proportionally. Additionally, companies should provide support through policies and counseling interventions that aid in maintaining a healthy work-life balance, leading to an increase in worker productivity.
Analysis of the facade and spatial quality of educational buildings of the first national architecture period: The case of Konya
Authors: Tuna Sayın Rumeysa , Semerci Fatih
Published: April 2024

In the last years of the 19th century, architects who were under the influence of the nationalist ideas that developed in the last years of the 19th century and were strengthened with the declaration of the constitutional monarchy, led to the emergence of the First National Architectural Period as a reaction. They also considered this period as an eclectic architectural style in which they reinterpreted the facade, plan and ornamental elements of Ottoman and Seljuk architecture with Western construction techniques. In this architectural process, many public buildings, hotels, bank buildings, ministry buildings, educational buildings and residences were built. Educational buildings are an important group among the new types of buildings constructed in Konya, which has maintained its political and cultural importance throughout history. In this study, the façade and spatial quality analyses of the Sanayi Mektebi, Male Teachers' High School (Dârü-l Muallimin), Girl Teachers' School (Dârü-l Muallimat) and Gazi Mustafa Kemal, Hakimiyet-i Milliye and İsmet Paşa Primary Schools, which are among the educational buildings built during the First National Architectural Period and which contributed to the identity of the city of Konya, were examined. The authenticity and conservation values of the selected educational buildings were determined and compared with each other. According to the results obtained from the façade and spatial analyses of these samples; authenticity values are determined depending on the rate of having the characteristics of the period and conservation criteria. The fact that no previous study has been carried out in this period and group of buildings using the method defined increases the originality value of the subject.

O Infarto Agudo do Miocárdio (IAM) é uma das enfermidades mais conhecidas pela população devido ao grande acometimento global. Trata-se de uma lesão dos cardiomiócitos causada por isquemia que pode decorrer de inúmeros fatores que levam a menor fluxo sanguíneo das artérias coronárias. É muito importante saber que o atraso na identificação do quadro e sua consequente assistência tem associação direta com o prognóstico dos pacientes, que em geral apresentam resultados negativos. Dessa forma, foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura, com análise crítica e analítica de artigos dos últimos 23 anos nas bases de dados Google acadêmico, SciELO, PubMed e UpToDate acerca da relação entre o tempo de atendimento e o desfecho dos pacientes em casos de IAM. Tal análise se fez necessária a fim de estabelecer a importância de um diagnóstico rápido e manejo efetivo do quadro em casos de emergência. Concluiu-se que a mortalidade reduziu quase pela metade em 40 anos, até os anos 2000, e que o reconhecimento dos sintomas típicos e atípicos pela população leiga é um passo imprescindível para um atendimento precoce e assim, um melhor prognóstico. Faz-se necessário, portanto, o conhecimento integral dessa condição, com o objetivo de identificar o momento ideal de buscar ajuda e acionar o serviço médico corretamente.
Clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors in invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the breast
Authors: Liu Yao-Bang , Gao Xu-Tong , Huang Ling-Yan , Liu Xin-Lan
Published: April 2024

Introduction

Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) treatment only relies on the standard treatment of nonspecific invasive breast cancer (NSIBC), and it remains controversial whether the survival of patients improves. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the clinicopathological features of IMPC and to investigate the factors affecting its prognosis.

Material and methods

This retrospective cohort study included 104 IMPC patients who met the study’s inclusion criteria out of a total of 4,532 patients with invasive breast cancer between January 2015 and December 2019. A contemporaneous cohort of 230 patients with non-specific invasive breast cancer (NSIBC) who underwent surgery was identified and matched using propensity scores.

Results

The survival rate for patients with IMPC ranged from 1.12% to 7.03%. Statistically significant differences were observed in the proportion of endocrine treatment, lymphatic invasion, estrogen receptor (ER)-positive rate, molecular subtypes, molecular typing, and 5-year loco-regional recurrence-free survival (LRRFS) between the two cohorts (p < 0.05). The univariate analysis showed that T stage, N stage, lymphatic invasion, vascular invasion, ER-positive rate, and progesterone receptor (PR)-negative rate were all prognosis risk factors (p < 0.05) for IMPC. Furthermore, the multivariate analysis indicated that lymphatic invasion and N stage were independent prognostic factors (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

The incidence of micropapillary IMPC, among other pathological subtypes, is steadily increasing. ER-positive and PR-positive rates, as well as luminal subtypes, are frequent, with a concurrent increase in the 5-year locoregional recurrence rate. It would be interesting to compare the effect following these therapeutic modifications in larger cohorts in future studies.
The Changing (and Multifaceted) Role of the Principle of Self-Determination in the Dutch Euthanasia Practice
Authors: Pans Esther
Published: April 2024

This contribution deals with the role of the principle of self-determination in the current Dutch euthanasia practice. The focus lies on the concrete elaborations of the principle of self-determination in law and practice. I distinguish between self-determination as a dynamic, diffuse and risky principle. I analyze these three characteristics in the light of the current developments in the Dutch euthanasia practice. My conclusion is that the attempts to broaden the influence of the principle of self-determination within the law is – to a certain extent – rather successful and can be justified by the societal developments and the nature of the Dutch Euthanasia Act. The principle of self-determination is reflected in almost all elements of the law and it is in the spirit of the law to allow more room for self-determination if societal developments give rise to this and if this is possible in a safe way. Attempts to allow more room for self-determination outside the law have not been successful and involve too many risks for society.
Work to Be Done: An Inquiry Concerning Legal Certainty in the Fourth Evaluation of the Dutch Euthanasia Act
Authors: Weyers Heleen
Published: April 2024

Legal certainty – that is predictability of law – is not just a legal principle but also an empirical topic. And as an empirical topic legal certainty can both be a goal and a means to achieve ends (‘factual legal certainty’). As concerns the Termination of Life on Request and Assisted Suicide (Review Procedures) Act, these ends involve next to legal certainty, to promote social transparency and to guarantee the carefulness of ending life on request. In this article, it is argued that legal certainty has not been properly examined in the fourth evaluation of the Act. Therefore, the results that are offered by the evaluation cannot support the conclusion that the goal of legal certainty has been achieved. The article proposes to operationalize factual legal certainty as knowledge of the rules and being able to predict how the relevant government agencies will act. Such an operationalization of legal certainty has been used before (Marseille 1993). A comparison between Marseille’s findings regarding legal certainty and what is known in this respect about euthanasia supposes that legal certainty regarding euthanasia law is to be expected. The conclusion is that an examination of legal certainty is possible ánd required.

GESTÃO DEMOCRÁTICA ESCOLAR: POSSIBILIDADES E DESAFIOS EM UM SISTEMA NEOLIBERAL VIGENTE NO BRASIL.
Authors: Neto Julio Fernandes de Paiva
Published: April 2024

The present work aimed to analyze possibilities and challenges in the consolidation of democratic management in Brazil, a capitalist country. The study, based on bibliographic analyses and field research, was organized into three chapters, which will be presented to understand the challenges and possibilities of action regarding democratic management in schools. Within this perspective, we analyzed the neoliberal capitalist system and its implications for the educational context. We also reflected on the Brazilian economic and social system in order to understand its interrelation with Brazilian education. It was necessary to conduct a study on democratic school management in public schools. To do so, a visit was made to a school, where we could observe the management. We studied its pedagogical political project, observed the actions carried out in school management, and conducted interviews in order to understand the organization of the management of this school. Theoretically, we relied on Libâneo (2009), Saviani (2002), Frigotto (2003), Paro (2001), Dourado (2001), and Sapelli (2004), among other scholars. This study proved to be important not only to understand the challenges imposed by the economic system on education but also to point out the possibilities of action in the face of these challenges. Its importance also lies in the possibility of indicating a transformative bias for the implementation of democratic management in public schools in the state of Paraná
Customer Demand Forecast Using Time Series Approach

Published: April 2024

Nowadays we are living in an uncertain time (pandemics, wars, inflation, shortages) and for companies, predicting the future of the business becomes more and more difficult. From this point of view, we can resort to statistical forecasting methods that, based on on past data and current external trends, can predict figures for the short and long term planning. The motive, the scope, behind this study is to develop a forecasting model using time series that can help the organisations and the managers in taking better decisions, on time, for the future of the company. The data that were used for this paper are focusing on forecasting the demands for the sales budgets only, starting with the historical data from a company in the glass mould manufacturing area. If we examine the current literature, we can find that there a few studies, with real business data regarding budgeting, therefore this study is relevant and important for the researchers and practitioners. This paper aims to illustrate how we can use the time series statistical method and the linear equation regression that can help the organisations to forecast and plan the business. The main findings after developing the model are that it allows smoothing the fluctuations of the series over time (especially if we find outliers) and eliminating the influence of seasonality, in order to obain in the end a good accuracy of the predictions. In order to measure the quality of the forecasting we can use many indicators, such as Mean Absolute Percentage Error.

The relationship between government revenue and economic growth is a debate that has existed for a long time in the living history.Government revenue impacts economic growth differently within different regions. Some researchers argue that government revenue positively affects economic growth while others argue that the relationship is negative. However, minimal literature exists exploring the relationship between the two variables at country specific level. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between Government revenue and economic growth in Kenya. The research adopted the correlational study design. The study used secondary data collected from the Central Bank of Kenya, KNBS, and Government records such as the finance Act. We collected data on different sources of Government Revenue such income tax, Value Added Tax (VAT), excise duty, import duty, Other tax income. The study also included data on non-tax revenue. The set of data under the study was from the financial years 2011/2012 to 2022/2023. The analysis has been done by the use of R software. To identify the level of association of the study variables such as GDP,Income tax,VAT,excise tax,import duty,other tax and non-tax revenue, he study employs multiple linear regression analysis. To check on the level of significance, we tested at 5% significant levels. The p-value is 0.008462 which was less than 0.05 hence we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is significant positive relationship between Government Revenue and Economic growth in Kenya.

A recuperação após a cirurgia é um processo intricado que envolve diversas partes do corpo, incluindo o cérebro. Este resumo aborda o papel da neuroplasticidade na recuperação cerebral após procedimentos cirúrgicos e examina estratégias para potencializar a reabilitação cerebral. A neuroplasticidade refere-se à capacidade do cérebro de se adaptar e reorganizar em resposta a estímulos ambientais. Estudos recentes têm demonstrado que a estimulação cerebral não invasiva, como a estimulação transcraniana por corrente contínua (ETCC) e a estimulação magnética transcraniana (EMT), pode promover a neuroplasticidade e melhorar a recuperação funcional pós-operatória. Além disso, a terapia ocupacional e a fisioterapia desempenham um papel crucial na reabilitação, permitindo a prática repetitiva de tarefas motoras e cognitivas. A personalização dos programas de reabilitação é essencial, considerando as necessidades individuais de cada paciente. Uma abordagem multimodal, que combina diferentes intervenções, como estimulação cerebral, terapia ocupacional, fisioterapia e treinamento cognitivo, pode ser altamente eficaz na promoção da recuperação. Estratégias de reabilitação devem ser adaptadas para abordar os desafios específicos enfrentados por cada paciente. Apesar dos avanços, ainda há espaço para o desenvolvimento de novas terapias e abordagens inovadoras. Investimentos contínuos em pesquisa translacional e colaborações interdisciplinares são necessários para impulsionar o campo da reabilitação cerebral pós-operatória. Em suma, a compreensão da neuroplasticidade e a aplicação de estratégias personalizadas podem melhorar significativamente os resultados dos pacientes submetidos a cirurgias, proporcionando uma recuperação mais completa e eficaz.
