Authors:   Universitat Politècnica de València, Medina Folgado Josep Ramón , Gómez Martín María Esther ,   Universitat Politècnica de València
Published: July 2022

El Manual del Cubípodo® 2015 proporciona unos criterios básicos para el diseño y construcción de diques en talud protegidos con mantos monocapa y bicapa de Cubípodos. Se describen los factores principales a tener en cuenta en la fase de pre-diseño de diques rompeolas en general y de mantos de Cubípodos en particular. La selección de la geometría del elemento de hormigón con el que se forma el manto principal (cubo, Cubípodo®, tetrápodo, etc.) condiciona la logística y colocación (aleatoria, ordenada, etc.), permite o no la construcción en una sola capa, exige una determinada porosidad, proporciona una determinada estabilidad hidráulica y todo ello determina el coste económico y las huellas ambientales. Aunque se realizan algunos comentarios sobre las características de otras piezas, el Manual del Cubípodo® 2015 se centra en el uso del Cubípodo® en los diques en talud convencionales

Vitimização Policial: Os desafios no cuidado da Saúde Mental
Authors: Lopes Kizzy Rafaella Leandro de Lima , Araújo Ana Priscila Barroso
Published: July 2022

Introdução: O grupo populacional de agentes de segurança pública cearense conta com um efetivo de 21.900 membros, distribuídos entre a capital e o interior do estado. Estes homens e mulheres arriscam suas vidas todos os dias para manter a segurança dos bens privados e públicos, sob qualquer adversidade, destinando-se a exercer atividade intensiva e ostensiva. Como uma atividade que compõe o grupo de serviços essenciais à população, a necessidade de atuação policial ultrapassa calamidades, horários, pandemias, entre outras adversidades humanas. Objetivo: Percebendo inúmeros desafios do cotidiano deste grupo de profissionais, o presente artigo destina-se a compreender os fatores de risco da profissão do policial militar no campo de adoecimento tanto físico quanto mental. Metodologia: Para alcançar esse objetivo, utilizamos fontes bibliográficas majoritariamente brasileiras e de cunho qualitativo e quantitativo que tratavam da temática geral do trabalho. Selecionamos artigos, dissertações, monografias e documentos oficiais, sendo realizada uma análise dos números de mortalidade policial entre os anos de 2015 até 2021 que apontaram para índices atualizados referentes ao suicídio entre os policiais. Resultados: As pesquisas indicaram que o manejo laboral oportunizado a estes agentes tem se mostrado difíceis para qualquer pessoa vivenciar, e que o modelo hierárquico da corporação pode estar levando estes profissionais ao alto nível de estresse e a possíveis situações de abuso de autoridade. Conclusão: Consequentemente, constatou-se uma corporação com condutas sendo constantemente questionadas pela população, alto índice de adoecimento mental e um crescimento no número de mortalidade por autoextermínio.
Begrip van de accountantscontrole bij stakeholders, volgens de accountant
Authors: De Bos Auke , Quadackers Luc
Published: July 2022

Dit artikel beschrijft een onderzoek naar het door de accountant gepercipieerde begrip van de accountantscontrole bij acht verschillende stakeholdergroepen: bestuurders, commissarissen, aandeelhouders, externe toezichthouders, politici, journalisten, de ‘verstandige leek’ en de ‘gemiddelde’ Nederlander. Onderzoek naar begrip van de accountantscontrole heeft al vaker plaatsgevonden, maar in dit onderzoek is gekozen voor een nieuwe invalshoek, namelijk: hoe percipieert de accountant het begrip van accountantscontrole bij verschillende stakeholders? Dat is belangrijk, want de perceptie van de accountant stuurt zijn gedrag en beslissingen. De perceptie heeft dus invloed op het bepalen van de responsstrategie voor het dichten van de verwachting-prestatiekloof en vormt belangrijke input voor de stakeholderdialoog. Op alle onderzochte gebieden is het gepercipieerde begrip het grootst bij de stakeholders die nauw betrokken zijn bij de externe accountant. Politici en journalisten scoren volgens accountants laag op begrip, terwijl zij volgens accountants wel de grootste invloed hebben op de publieke opinie.
Overregulering in verslaggevingsregels voor gemeenten en provincies
Authors: Anderson Rick
Published: July 2022

Deze bijdrage geeft verslag van een onderzoek naar overregulering binnen de verslagleggingsregels voor decentrale overheden. Voor het onderzoek is één object uit deze regels geselecteerd: de rentebepalingen. Het onderzoek heeft zich gericht op de perceptie van deze bepalingen bij gemeentelijke treasurers en raadsleden. Aan de hand van de respons van 68 treasurers en 213 raadsleden kan worden geconstateerd dat deze rentebepalingen als geheel als vorm van overregulering worden aangemerkt door de respondenten. Als een onderscheid wordt gemaakt tussen de rentebepalingen uit het Besluit Begroting en Verantwoording en de notitie Rente, blijkt echter, dat alleen de rentebepalingen uit de notitie Rente als vorm van overregulering worden aangemerkt. De aannames dat de bepalingen moeten leiden tot onderlinge vergelijkbaarheid en dat behoefte bestaat aan onderlinge vergelijkbaarheid, blijken minder valide. Dit kan een verklaring vormen voor de gepercipieerde overregulering.
Winstbelasting en ondernemingsfinanciering: een heroriëntatie
Authors: Duffhues Piet , van Strien Jeroen
Published: July 2022

Er is weinig nagedacht en gepubliceerd over de onderlinge verhouding van het fiscale en het financieel-economische winstbegrip van ondernemingen. Toch is er alle aanleiding om te onderzoeken of deze begrippen met elkaar sporen. Een belangrijke reden is dat het arsenaal van financieringsvormen en technieken in de laatste halve eeuw drastisch is uitgebouwd in de jacht op een zo laag mogelijke gemiddelde vermogenskostenvoet (WACC), die na belasting wordt gedefinieerd. In dit artikel wordt aandacht besteed aan het gegeven dat sommige financieringsvormen wel en andere niet of slechts ten dele tot fiscaal aftrekbare lasten leiden en daarmee tot fiscale discriminatie. Dit leidt veelvuldig tot fiscaal uitwijkgedrag door ondernemingen, waardoor het risico ontstaat dat ondernemingen zich niet optimaal financieren, bezien vanuit bedrijfseconomische en algemeen-economische inzichten. Recente aanvechtbare gedachtevorming in kringen van de overheid onderstreept het belang van het onderwerp.

Althusserci Teoride “İdeoloji” Kavramının Analizi: Klasik Marksist Anlayıştan Farkları ve Kapitalist Devlet Kuramındaki Rolü
Authors: AÇAR Osman
Published: July 2022

Tarih boyunca devletler iktidarlarının devamlılığını sağlamak ve meşrulaştırmak için birçok argümana başvurmuşlardır. İdeoloji de bu argümanların başında gelmektedir. Tarihsel süreçte farklı bağlamlarda çeşitli anlamlarda kullanılan ideoloji, Althusser ile farklı bir boyut kazanmıştır. İdeoloji Althusser’le birlikte, her şeyi kapsayan, tarih ve zaman dışı, maddi bir yapısı olan bir kavrama dönüşmüştür. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın kapsamını Althusser’in ideoloji teorisi oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmayla amaçlanan, Althusserci ideolojiyi ve bu ideolojinin devlet kuramındaki yerini klasik Marksist anlayışla olan farklılıkları da içine alacak şekilde ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada ulaşılan sonuçta Althusser devletin ideolojik aygıtları ile monist yapıdaki Marksist devlet kuramını düalist yapıya kavuşturduğu görülmektedir. Althusser, klasik Marksist anlayıştan farklı olarak, ideolojiyi salt ekonomik pratiğin uzantısı olarak ele almamıştır. O, ideolojinin felsefi, siyasi ve sosyolojik boyutlarını da göz önünde bulundurarak ideolojiyi ebedi olan maddi bir pratik şeklinde değerlendirmiştir. Ayrıca devlet iktidarı ile devlet aygıtı arasındaki farkı ortaya koymuş, ideolojinin kapitalist sistemdeki rolünü göstermiştir.
The influence of customer-supplier relationships through the facilitation of credit on the development of micro enterprises in the Sobonakhona Makhanya tribal area of KwaZulu-Natal
Authors:   , Maome Itumeleng Judith
Published: July 2022

The purpose of this study is to identify the influence of customer-supplier relationships through facilitation of credit on the development of Micro enterprises in the Sobonakhona Makhanya Tribal Area of KZN. This study originates from the fact that there are many SMME‟s in South Africa, absorbing about 15 million people (DTI, 1995:7). Even though this sector is providing most of the employment in the country, they still find it difficult to arrange funds to start or expand their businesses. Lending institutions do not want to provide finance for them, and if they do, they do it with reluctance and reservations. As a result, SMME‟s are not able to grow and develop into big businesses. This is a quantitative and exploratory research study which was used to explore, for the first time in Sobonakhona Makhanya Tribal area, the relationship between customer-supplier relationships and accessibility of credit facilities. The study made use of questionnaires to obtain the respondents‟ perceptions on the research questions developed. A questionnaire that consisted of 35 questions was distributed to 50 SMME owners in Adams Mission, Madundube and Umbumbulu (AMU) villages. Cronbach‟s reliability analysis was not applied as it was not appropriate for use with this questionnaire. The research showed that a relationship between customers and suppliers assists SMME‟s to obtain access to credit facilities. Added to this, SMME owners, who had access to credit facilities, experienced positive changes in their businesses. This serves to prove that access to credit is essential for the development of SMME‟s. As a result, recommendations to train and educate SMME owners on how to manage their businesses, how to apply for credit and the requirements needed for applications have been set out.
Internal factors influencing job satisfaction in a freight forwarding company
Authors:   , Joshua David
Published: July 2022

This paper examines the issue of job satisfaction within a freight forwarding company. The widespread dissatisfaction coupled with high staff turnover has necessitated a study of this nature. Due to the broad nature of this topic, this study focused specifically on company factors with the intention of determining which of these factors, if at all, were primarily responsible for the dissatisfaction that was prevalent. Company factors, upon which the study was based, were identified to try to assist management understand the full extent of the dissatisfaction. The intention was to identify the specific company factors that were contributing to the dissatisfaction in order to help curb the high level of staff turnover within the company. The study was conducted as staff were leaving at an alarming rate without the necessary steps being taken to address the problem. The methodology that was used was to send out a questionnaire to a broad section of the staff where the company factors were outlined and staff had to rate their level of satisfaction. The results that were obtained outlined which of these company factors contributed to the dissatisfaction that was prevalent. It zoned in on the important issues that needed to be addressed as opposed to addressing issues that were not as important. There were some distinct patterns that were found in the data. None of the factors investigated scored ratings of 4 or 5 (satisfied or highly satisfied) and the results showed a general dissatisfaction within the company. This research is an invaluable source of information not only to this company, but to other freight forwarding companies to prepare them for similar problems that they may encounter within their companies. It is envisaged that companies who take heed of the findings will not experience high levels of dissatisfaction as well as high staff turnover but they would retain their personnel especially their skilled workforce.

Published: July 2022

This study was carried out to determine some yield characteristics of Hungarian vetch
varieties and to evaluate them as bee pastures based on bee-plant relationship. Eight
Hungarian vetch varieties were used in the study. In Bingöl province, where the
research was carried out, flowering of Hungarian vetch started on April 18. Counts
started on April 23 and ended on May 11. Hungarian vetch remained blooming for
about three weeks in Bingöl province. An average of 14.9 bees per m2 visited the
Hungarian vetch and the bees remained on the flower for an average of 9.0 seconds.
It has been determined that Hungarian vetch has an average of 377 flowers per m2,
the natural plant height is 38.7 cm, the fruit per plant is 21.3, the seed per fruit is 4.0,
the seed yield is 22.5 kg/da, and the thousand-seed weight is 33.0 g. Also, it was
observed that the Hungarian vetch reached the highest natural plant height by April
30, the number of bees visiting the plant was high on May 04-07, the bees stayed on
flower for a long time when the plant bloomed the most. It was seen that Kansur and
Efes varieties are distinguishable for the features such as the number of bees per m2,
the duration of the bee staying on flower, and the number of flowers, while the
features such as natural plant height, seed yield and thousand-seed weight, are
distinguished in Akçalar, Efes and Tarm Beyazı varieties.
Traditional Forest Beekeeping and Its Challenge in Benishangul Gumuz Regional State, Ethiopia
Authors: Tarekegn Alayu
Published: July 2022

The study was conducted to assess the status of traditional forest beekeeping and
related challenge faced by the beekeepers in three representative districts of
Benishangul Gumuz. Through the systematic random sampling method, 167
households were selected and data were collected through a semi-structured
interview schedule. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chisquare test, and T-test of Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS Version 23). The
result shows as compared to the backyard and other beekeeping systems traditional
forest beekeeping (71.30%) was still the major type of honey bee colony management
in the region. During honey harvesting, 43.71% of beekeepers harvest any hive product
by throwing the hive from the long tree and collecting the entire available hive product
at night time of the day. Beekeepers' response shows that the factors were no
different (P>0.05) across the district to keep honey bee colonies traditionally in the
forest area. The result further indicates the participation of females in the beekeeping
sector is still very low level in the study area (10.2%). In conclusion, in the study area
due to forest beekeeping practice the honey bee population, diversity, and the hive
product highly declined and the beekeepers still have not benefited from the sector.
So, to decrease traditional forest beekeeping practice further activities must be done
by the government and a research center on the integrated improved forest
beekeeping, awareness creation, and on reducing honey bee race aggressiveness

Vacunación
Authors: Porras Oscar
Published: July 2022

Vacunación es el término que identifica la aplicación de una vacuna. Vacuna y vacunación derivan de las definiciones que usó Edward Jenner en 1798 en su obra “Una investigación sobre las vacunas y los efectos de variolae vaccinae”, en la cual se refirió al efecto protector de la viruela bovina contra la viruela humana. En honor a Jenner, Pasteur, en 1881, en su publicación “Address on the germ theory”, amplió el uso de los términos a otras inoculaciones de protección. A partir de entonces, vacuna se identifica con ‘cualquier preparación que tenga como objetivo generar inmunidad adquirida contra una enfermedad infecciosa’ y vacunación, con ‘el acto o la gestión de aplicar las vacunas’.

Abstract. To provide a cost-efficient parentage testing kit for red deer (Cervus elaphus), a 63 SNP set has been developed from a high-density Illumina BovineHD BeadChip containing 777 962 SNPs after filtering of genotypes of 50 stags. The successful genotyping rate was 38.6 % on the chip. The ratio of polymorphic loci among effectively genotyped loci was 6.5 %. The selected 63 SNPs have been applied to 960 animals to perform parentage control. Thirty SNPs out of the 63 had worked on the OpenArray platform. Their combined value of the probability of identity and exclusion probability was 4.9×10-11 and 0.99803, respectively. A search for loci linked with antler quality was also performed on the genotypes of the above-mentioned stags. Association studies revealed 14 SNPs associated with antler quality, where low-quality antlers with short and thin main beam antlers had values from 1 to 2, while high-quality antlers with long and strong main beams had values between 4 and 5. The chance for a stag to be correctly identified as having high-value antlers is expected to be over 88 %.
The response of ocean climate change to different heat-flux perturbations over North Atlantic in FAFMIP
Authors: Yin Wenyu , Gao Xin , Jin Jiangbo , Yu Yi , Zhou Guangqing , Zeng Qingcun
Published: July 2022

Abstract. The diversity of surface flux perturbations, especially for heat-flux perturbations, notably results in uncertainties surrounding the responses of ocean climate change under the global warming scenarios projected by climate/earth system models. However, when imposing heat-flux perturbations on the models, there are strong feedbacks between atmosphere and ocean, causing nearly doubled heat-flux perturbation over North Atlantic (NA). In this study, we quantitatively evaluated the impacts of magnitude changes of heat-flux perturbations over NA on the changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), ocean heat uptake (OHU) and dynamic sea level (DSL) by analyzing eight model responses to the heat flux perturbations experiments in Flux-Anomaly-Forced Model Inter-comparison Project (FAFMIP). We found that the magnitude of the AMOC change was very sensitive to the magnitude change of imposed NA heat-flux perturbation, and the weakening amplitude of the AMOC was nearly halved as the imposed heat-flux perturbation F halved over the NA. The most significant responses of both DSL and OHU to the magnitude changes of NA heat-flux perturbation were mainly found in the Atlantic and Arctic (AA) basin, especially for the NA region. Both the added ocean heat uptake (OHUa) and redistributed ocean heat uptake (OHUr) play roles in OHU changes among the different NA heat-flux perturbation experiments. The magnitude change of NA-mean OHUa was almost linearly related to the imposed NA heat-flux perturbation, while the magnitude change of NA-mean OHUr, which is mainly caused by AMOC change and redistributed heat flux, was not proportional to the imposed NA heat-flux perturbation.
Application of Artificial Intelligence SSD MobileNet and Tiny YOLOv2 for Food Recipe Search
Authors: Purwanto Heri , Novriadi Aldi , At Thariq Fatah
Published: July 2022

Recipes are guides to making something together with notes on ingredients and their amount. To be able to make food, of course, the cook must prepare the ingredients in advance to be processed into ready-to-eat dishes. Often people have a lot of food ingredients but don't know how to process them. Cooking without seriousness, of course, some people fail when making a dish. Back then, people depends on recipe that was passed down from generation to generation. Now, the digital world is growing rapidly. Anything can be done with increasingly modern technology. Everything needed is accessible with today's technology. Everything is so easy, including the matter of food. Even so, in this digital era, people use smartphones but still cannot use them properly. Many of them use search engines so they need to sort out which are real recipes and which are just random recipes. The purpose of this study is to help people find recipes by taking photos of food ingredients and then finding out what can be made from these ingredients. This technique uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) with MobileNet and Tiny YOLOv2 SSD modules. The design uses the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The study used experimental methods to test the accuracy of the AI used. Data collection will be utilizing a literature study. This research uses agile for system development. Test results show that the SSD MobileNet model has a guessing accuracy of 77%, while Tiny YOLOv2 is 81%. The guessing accuracy might get higher if good camera quality is used
Diferencias entre la renta básica universal y el trabajo garantizado: ¿pueden ser compatibles?
Authors: Garzón Espinosa Eduardo
Published: July 2022

La renta básica universal y el trabajo garantizado son dos propuestas de política que, partiendo de concepciones filosóficas distintas, comparten un mismo objetivo central: acabar con la pobreza extrema garantizando la existencia material de toda la ciudadanía. No obstante, los medios para alcanzar dicho objetivo son sustancialmente diferentes, lo que sin duda se debe a una distinta concepción de cómo el Estado debe intervenir en la sociedad. La renta básica universal, que garantiza un ingreso a todo el mundo sin excepción, sitúa el foco en la libertad de los ciudadanos, quienes, gracias a la prestación económica reconocida universalmente, podrían desarrollar sus vidas de forma autónoma sin depender económicamente de quienes tienen más medios y recursos. En cambio, el trabajo garantizado, que asegura un empleo digno a todo el mundo, sitúa el foco en las ventajas sociales y económicas del pleno empleo y del trabajo organizado colectivamente. No es esta la única diferencia entre ambas medidas. Con este artículo se pretende resumir las diferencias más importantes atendiendo a la literatura existente, lo cual resulta necesario y crucial para analizar de qué manera podrían ser compatibles, que es el objetivo final del trabajo.
De ingresos y pedazos de tierra: renta básica, predistribución y desmercantilización en el marco de economías políticas populares
Authors: Casassas David , Guerrero David
Published: July 2022

El debate sobre la “predistribución”, que ya permea múltiples ámbitos de las ciencias sociales, no parece ser una moda pasajera. ¿Pero es una propuesta exenta de problemas? Sin lugar a duda, la idea de predistribución —el establecimiento de marcos reguladores que permitan una amplia participación social en el seno de una vida económica “civilizada”— tiene un gran potencial para el pensamiento democrático. Pero el aspecto más políticamente prometedor entre los predistribucionistas es cualquier cosa menos una novedad: en efecto, las economías políticas transformadoras o “populares”, desde los siglos XVII al XXI, siempre han subrayado, entroncando con las intuiciones principales de la tradición republicana, la importancia de la garantía ex-ante de recursos de diverso tipo. Sin embargo, que la extensión de la libertad y no solo el bienestar material sea la razón principal de la predistribución es un elemento fundamental para pensar una agenda predistributiva verdaderamente abierta a la (posibilidad de la) desmercantilización y, por ello, a la democracia económica. Rescatar los vestigios predistributivos en el republicanismo parece necesario a la luz de algunas de las principales aproximaciones a la predistribución, que se muestran meramente como una alternativa bienestarista a los impuestos y las transferencias —pudiendo erosionar de este modo no solo lo que se necesita para establecer el tipo de marcos reguladores que los predistribucionistas dicen defender, sino también los mismos conjuntos de recursos que resultan relevantes para que individuos y grupos persigan vidas más libres—. Este artículo trata de comprender la renta básica como herramienta predistributiva más allá del bienestar material, es decir, como herramienta que posibilite una economía política republicana-democrática que, como tal, siente las bases para la co-determinación colectiva de las formas de trabajo y de vida.
Pharmaceutical quality evaluation of marketed vildagliptin tablets in Bangladesh based on the United States Pharmacopeia specifications
Authors: Islam Md. Rabiul , Daria Sohel , Ankhi Arjina A. , Sultana Sharmin , Rahman Md. Ashrafur
Published: July 2022

Continuous monitoring of pharmaceutical products is vital because it matters to human health. Here we aimed to assess the quality parameters of commercially available vildagliptin tablets in Bangladesh. We tested the tablets for the content uniformity, hardness, friability, disintegration, dissolution, and potency. Then, we fitted the dissolution data with kinetic models to investigate the release pattern of the studied brands. Moreover, we applied a mathematical model-independent approach to compare the dissolution profiles of the brands. The interchangeability was determined using difference and similarity factors. Weight variation, friability, and hardness were between 150.35±1.26 to 230.8±1.98 mg, 0 to 0.88%, and 47.3±5.09 to 108.1±1.92 N, respectively. All tablets disintegrated within 0.54±2.85 to 7.69±2.14 min in distilled water. The potency of tablets in 0.1 N HCl and PBS (pH 6.8) were between 97.67±2.58 to 105±0.95% and 99±4.63 to 105±1.65%, respectively. The drug release (%) in 0.1 N HCl and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (pH 6.8) after 60 min were between 99.37±1.80 to 111.09±0.64% and 96.59±3.52 to 109.57±0.53%, respectively. All the brands complied with the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) specification for physicochemical properties. Also, we observed the drug release patterns of vildagliptin tablets matched with different kinetic models. We found only one substitutable brand with the standard product regardless of the dissolution medium. In-vitro chemical equivalence is not always consistent with bioequivalence. Therefore, continuous evaluation of marketed products is essential to ensure the desired quality.

Authors: Farahnaz Turi, Muhammad Bakhtiar Khan
Published: July 2022

Generally, Education is considered as human capital which is contributing positively to economic prosperity and growth. The research paper attempts to identify a relationship between different disciplines of higher education and economic development of Pakistan for the period of 1990-2017 using the Cobb-Douglas production function. The application of ordinary least square methodology examined the long-run relationship between higher education and Pakistan’s economic development. The empirical study found that in the long-run higher education has strong impact on economic growth of Pakistan. Seven academic disciplines are selected to observe the impact of educational categorization i.e. Medical, Engineering, law, commerce, home economics, Education, and Agriculture. Estimated results revealed a positive and significant impact of getting higher education on Pakistan’s economic growth where the role of engineering and medical sciences was found prominent among all of the selected disciplines with respect to economic development. The findings of the study validate the assumption that human capital and economic growth are strongly correlated in Pakistan in the long run. However, there is a dire need to focus on research and development to enable the country to face competitiveness in the contemporary world and to adopt to the robust technological innovations. Research and Development institutions in Pakistan should pay attention on high-tech and scientific research so as to expedite economic development in the country.
MOTIVATIONAL FACTORS INFLUENCING ESL TEACHERS: A REVIEW STUDY
Authors: Saleem Uddin Ahmed, Rahila Huma Anwar
Published: July 2022

Multiple studies have been conducted in the past on learners’ motivation to learn English language highlighting the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that prompt learners to learn. In comparison with the above, the number of studies conducted on teachers’ own motivation to teach English language is comparatively less. This literature review addresses motivational factors, both intrinsic and extrinsic that influence ESL teachers across the globe.

Published: July 2022

Media not only in Pakistan but all over the world have become the most influential and dominant source of information and entertainment. With the growing number of electronic gadgets, the device usage has been an indispensable component of these digitally aged children without which they feel their lives incomplete. The vast majority of children spend the significant amount of time using media devices in order to gratify their social needs and to gain information and entertainment, but its impact on young children is certainly undeniable. In relation to this context, the role of parents would be considered highly important in monitoring their children media-related activities. The in-depth interviews from parents of children aged between 8-13 years from Islamabad were conducted to understand their perceptions regarding the media related activities of their children, their mediation strategies, their key concerns, their awareness of media literacy, its significance value for children and their willingness to implement media literacy in educational curriculum for their children empowerment. The key finding indicates that advocating for initiation and implementation of media literacy education will be beneficial and enhance critical thinking skills among children to understand and evaluate media content and messages. Empowering children through media literacy education can address the major serious concerns of parents because restriction or limitation of children media usage is no longer effective. Hence, this study suggests that the engagement and active participation of children with these devices should be encouraged in a productive style. This study proposes that a high level of parental monitoring occurs when children use devices. Parents should monitor their children device usage. This recommends that parents need to have discussions with their children regarding their media related activities, because they are always worried about their children media usage both in school and at in home.

Published: July 2022

Although Pakistan was founded with a progressive and enlightened vision, the country's diversity has been decimated by extremism and violence. In Pakistan, youth radicalization is very common. This was due to factors such as a poor education system, socioeconomic determinants, and unequal economic opportunities across the society. The radical groups are targeting youth to carry out their agendas. The 9/11 attacks in the U.S. created the framework for radicalism among Pakistan's youth. Radicalism can be seen in many forms, including violent extremism and ethnic violence in Pakistan. However, there were immediate concerns about Pakistan's human development experience as a result of the emergence of jihadist violence in Pakistan. This research was done to identify risk factors for youth that lead them towards radicalization. It also looked at the sources and awareness of youth who are inclined towards radicalization. The research was qualitative in nature and exploratory in type. The researcher used Stratified sampling, which is a method of collecting data using a scheduled questionnaire.

DISTRIBUTIVE LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOR, PARENTAL ENGAGEMENT AND THEIR IMPACT ON STUDENTS’ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE: A MEDIATING EFFECTOF LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOR
Authors: Taj Akbar, Hakim Ullah Khan, Shakeel Iqbal
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT Children are active learners who continually attempt to balance their internal conceptions and view of reality with extrinsic recreations or the outer facts children encounter in their world. The interrelationship between humans and their social and physical environments significantly impacts the education and growth of children. An increasing body of research has shown that their home learning experience is vital in figuring out what they are interested in. This shows how important it is for parents to be involved in their children's learning process, and an educator's leadership behaviors indirectly magnify this process. This research aimed to determine the scope and level of parental engagement activities in schools and their impact on parents' participation with their children at home. Furthermore, the impact of parental involvement at home on their children's academic performance is also being studied. The sample consisted of 175 principals, 1575 teachers, 1750 pupils, and 1750 parents from six districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The data was acquired using established and self-administered questionnaires for leadership behavior and parental engagement. The result shows that the mediational effect of distributive leadership behaviors on parental engagement at home is outside the interval and is not working as a mediator. The educator's work experience significantly affects parental engagement at +1 standard deviation of work experience. Furthermore, parental engagement at home has a tremendous and positive effect on students' academic performance.
