Authors: Abdulah Nurul Nadiha , Mahmud Muhammad Sofwan
Published: February 2025

Inclusive mathematics teaching and learning, which integrates students with special needs and typical students in the same classroom, has long been implemented in Malaysia. However, teaching mathematics in this inclusive environment presents unique challenges to teachers. These competencies are needed to support the diverse needs of students. This study examines the competencies mathematics teachers require to teach inclusively in primary schools. Using a qualitative case study approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven teachers experienced in teaching special education and mathematics in inclusive classrooms. Seven experienced teachers with special education and mathematics teaching backgrounds were purposively selected. Data were analysed using thematic analysis methods. The researcher employed triangulation by involving multiple researchers and member checking to enhance the validity and reliability of the data. The findings identified five required competencies: content mastery skills, flexible strategies and techniques skills, technology utilisation skills, effective classroom management skills, and skills in assessment and monitoring. These findings have implications for enhancing teacher training and professional development programs to equip them with the necessary competencies for effective inclusive mathematics teaching. The research is expected to assist in improving the quality of inclusive mathematics education in Malaysia.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to identify effective educational strategies to empower women for leadership roles in Malaysia’s corporate sector and evaluate their impact on advancing gender equality (SDG 5) and quality education (SDG 4). Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research utilizes purposive and snowball sampling to conduct in-depth interviews with senior female executives in Malaysia, exploring their experiences and perceptions of educational strategies for leadership empowerment. The findings reveal six effective strategies: comprehensive leadership development programmes, mentorship from female leaders and coaching by business experts, gender diversity and inclusivity initiatives, networking and collaborative learning programmes, professional skill development workshops, and return-to-work programmes. However, due to geographical and work-related constraints, the study is limited by a small sample size of five participants. Despite these limitations, the study offers valuable insights for empowering women and learning in organizations. The identified strategies provide practical direction for designing targeted learning programmes that address the unique challenges faced by women in the corporate sector, enhancing their leadership potential and contributing to the achievement of SDG 5 and SDG 4. The originality of this research in educational strategies lies in equipping women with the skills, knowledge, and confidence necessary for leadership roles in Malaysia that contribute to academic literature and practical frameworks for promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment.
How Can Environmental Education be Incorporated into Indonesian Language Learning? A Critical Review of Teachers' Perspectives
Authors: Farahiba Ayyu Subhi , Puspitasari Mega , Khotimah Khusnul , Pramithasari Febi Ayu
Published: February 2025

Teachers and students should implement environmental education practices oriented towards sustainable development in schools as one of the solutions to overcominge environmental problems. This research addresses gaps related to teachers' lack of understanding of ecological education, limited resources, and policy support in implementing environmental education by exploring Indonesian language teachers' perspectives using critical reflection and dialogical theory. This research uses an interpretative phenomenological analysis approach to explore the views and experiences of nine junior high school Indonesian language teachers, six women and three men, from various regions. The participant selection technique used purposeful sampling by setting criteria. Data was collected using in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions as an additional technique. Findings of this study show that teachers' critical awareness of environmental education is the basis for boosting students' awareness of the ecological impact of human activities. Dialogue between teachers and students is essential in empowering and creating participatory spaces for students to express their views and interests. Challenges and obstacles in environmental education become opportunities for critical reflection for teachers to develop a more contextualized curriculum. The findings of this study show the importance of critical reflection in supporting teachers to be more adaptive and innovative in integrating environmental elements into learning. This could contribute to the experiences and practices of environmental education-based learning conducted by Indonesian language teachers. Future research could involve more teachers from different regions and education levels, obtain more representative data and include students' perspectives directly to explore their understanding of environmental education.

Published: February 2025

This study examined how teachers can create conducive learning environments that promote positive social interactions, psychological security and motivational support to develop young learners’ skill acquisition and development in the early language classroom. To this end, a purposeful sample of 93 teachers from schools in Sharjah (United Arab Emirates), Al-Ahsa (Saudi Arabia) and Zarqa (Jordan) was drawn for semi-structured interviews to gauge their perspectives on these matters. Using a grounded theory approach, the findings revealed several critical factors that catalyze skill acquisition and development in supportive learning environments. The findings revealed the significance of engaging in enriching social interactions, which allows learners opportunities for practice and active language use in real-world contexts. The findings also underscored the significance of teacher-student relationships in building a nurturing learning environment which promotes engagement, self-confidence and improved language learning outcomes. Consistent motivational support was also found to be instrumental in enhancing students' drive, which improved both their participation and language proficiency. The findings further emphasized the need for creating a psychologically safe classroom environment for the learners to take risks and learn from their mistakes without fear. Furthermore, encouraging creative thinking was found to positively affect both language development and cognitive growth.
Examination of Factors Related to Counsellor Educator Self-Efficacy to Treat Addiction
Authors: Aucoin Rose Marie , Saunders Rachel
Published: February 2025

Counsellor educators are tasked with preparing students to serve clients diagnosed with substance use disorders. In this context and alongside the global impact of addiction, the authors explored factors related to counsellor educator self-efficacy in treating addiction. A total of 78 counsellor educators and 44 doctoral counselling students took part in the study. A demographic questionnaire, the substance abuse attitude survey, and the substance abuse treatment self-efficacy scale were combined to create an online questionnaire completed by participants. A multiple regression indicated that the number of completed graduate-level courses in addiction and the years of clinical experience significantly predicted educator self-efficacy. Limitations of the study included the use of self-report instruments, a homogeneous participant pool, a potentially biased questionnaire and data analysis, difficulty assessing all the factors related to self-efficacy, and limited research already in existence on the relationship between educator clinical experience in treating addiction. Future research using a qualitative design is recommended to gain a deeper understanding of the factors that influence counsellor educator self-efficacy. The findings of this study will help fill the gap in knowledge on counsellor educator self-efficacy and provide direction in terms of how administrators can support educators in developing both their addiction pedagogy and comfort in teaching addiction. Supporting counsellor educators directly supports counselling student education and preparedness, which enhances client treatment and helps to fill the growing need for mental health counsellors trained to treat clients with addiction.

Published: February 2025

Background

Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a flavivirus spread by ticks and can cause tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) in humans. Previously, TBE has been reported in returning travellers in the United Kingdom (UK), but in 2019 and 2020, two probable cases of TBE acquired in the UK were identified.

Aim

The aim of this study was to investigate TBE cases in the UK between 2015 and 2023, describing the incidence, place and mode of acquisition and diagnostic process.

Methods

A retrospective review of possible, probable and confirmed cases of TBE diagnosed by the Rare and Imported Pathogens Laboratory (RIPL) between January 2015 and December 2023 was performed. For cases identified in 2022 and 2023, clinical data were collected for enhanced surveillance using structured case record forms. Laboratory diagnosis is reviewed and described.

Results

We identified 21 cases: three possible, seven probable and 11 confirmed cases. Of these, 12 were between January 2022 and December 2023: three possible, three probable and six confirmed cases. Two confirmed TBE cases had definite or highly probable acquisition in the UK, in June and August 2022, respectively. One of the possible cases had definite UK acquisition. Cases typically have a biphasic presentation, with encephalitis in the second phase.

Conclusion

Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of TBE when the cause for encephalitis is not identified, even in the absence of travel to previously identified endemic regions.

The influence of fiscal decentralization, accountability, and financial performance on the level of corruption in Indonesian provincial governments
Authors: Wardoyo Dwi Urip , Jatmiko Adinda Hasna
Published: February 2025

Corruption is one of the main challenges hindering development and welfare in Indonesia, particularly at the regional government level. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of anti-corruption programs in provincial governments in Indonesia, focusing on the influence of fiscal decentralization, accountability, and regional financial performance on the level of corruption. The study employs a quantitative approach using panel data obtained from regional financial reports and audit results from the Audit Board of Indonesia (BPK) on provincial governments in Indonesia during the period 2018-2022. The results indicate that fiscal decentralization has a significant impact on the level of corruption, while the variables of accountability and regional financial performance, as measured through audit opinions and regional investment, do not show a significant impact on corruption levels. These findings suggest that although there are financial oversight mechanisms in place, other factors such as transparency, stricter supervision, and public participation in budget management need to be strengthened to enhance the effectiveness of anti-corruption programs at the provincial level. The study recommends the need for a more comprehensive approach to tackling corruption, including governance reforms and strengthening internal controls in each region.

Authors: Prastiwi Conidia Asih , Farida Ajeng Luthfiyatul
Published: February 2025

Companies registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) must present financial reports in accordance with accounting standards and be audited by an independent auditor in a timely manner. This study examines the influence of leverage, financial distress, tax risk, and earnings volatility on audit report lag in the basic materials sector companies listed on the IDX for 2019-2022. Using purposive sampling techniques, the study obtained 19 samples from an initial population of 26 companies after eliminating outliers and analyzed the data using panel data regression through Eviews 12 software. The results show that leverage and financial distress have no significant effect on ARL, indicating that these factors do not directly affect the time taken to complete the audit process for companies in the basic materials sector. However, earnings volatility is shown to have a significant negative effect on ARL, indicating that companies with greater earnings fluctuations tend to take longer to complete the audit of their financial statements. This study contributes to the understanding of the factors that influence ARL in the basic materials sector in Indonesia and can serve as a basis for further research on the influence of external and internal factors on corporate financial reporting transparency.

Published: February 2025

P5 on the theme of entrepreneurship has been widely implemented. Still, there are challenges related to the lack of teacher readiness, lack of references, and lack of relevance to the local cultural context. This study aims to fill the gap by analyzing the implementation of P5-themed entrepreneurship based on traditional Semarang food and beverages. It focuses on identifying formed character values and supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method; the first data collection technique is a structured interview (principal, homeroom teacher, and students), the second is participatory observation of active participation type, and the third is documentation—data analysis model Miles and Huberman analysis. The findings in this study on the implementation of P5 start from the first stage of planning (the existence of a facilitator team, the level of readiness of the education unit, the design of the dimensions (theme and time allocation), teaching modules, strategy for reporting project results), the second stage of implementation (introduction stage, contextual stage, action stage, and reflection stage), the third stage of evaluation using process evaluation. The implementation of the P5 project shows four dimensions of character values that are formed in students, namely the Dimension of Faith, Fear of God, the Dimension of Mutual Cooperation, the Dimension of Critical Reasoning, and the Dimension of Independence. This shows that the P5 project is a practical learning approach. This success is influenced by supporting factors (teacher competence, parental involvement, and availability of natural resources) and inhibitors (limited time, funds), so efforts must be made to overcome them, such as time management and sponsorship of funds. This research is expected to increase the understanding of the P5 theme of entrepreneurship in the context of local culture so that it is sustainable and provide recommendations to improve the effectiveness of P5 implementation in schools.

Published: February 2025

Social adaptation is an important process for individuals or groups in adjusting to new circumstances, including the adoption of technological innovations. The implementation of E-Money as a mandatory payment method in Transmetro Pekanbaru is a significant change, requiring passengers to adapt to this new system. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence passenger adaptation to E-Money using a descriptive quantitative approach. This research was conducted in Pekanbaru, with data collected through interviews with a sample of 100 respondents, which was determined from a population of 34,918 passengers using the Slovin formula with a margin of error of 10%. Data analysis was conducted to identify demographic and economic factors that influence adaptation. The results show that age, gender, occupation, income, education, private vehicle ownership, and E-Money ownership significantly affect the level of passenger adaptation to E-Money. Users who are younger, female, more educated, self-employed, or students, and who already possess E-Money tools such as Brizzi or QRIS tend to adapt more quickly. A significant finding is the dominance of QRIS and the combination of Brizzi and QRIS as preferred payment methods. However, the intensity of Transmetro usage does not significantly affect the adaptation rate. These findings suggest that strategies targeted at increasing E-Money adoption should take these demographic and socio-economic factors into account, especially by focusing on providing an accessible and user-friendly payment system for less adapted passenger groups. This study contributes to understanding the social adaptation process in the context of digital payment innovations and provides practical implications for policy makers and Transmetro Pekanbaru management in improving the effectiveness of E-Money implementation.

Published: February 2025

Biofertilizer, considered sustainable agricultural input, holds the potential to replace chemical fertilizers and improve soil health. Still, its limited adoption prompts the need to explore farmers’ awareness of the challenges in Bangladesh. Our study focuses on the knowledge, attitude, and challenges related to biofertilizer usage among a hundred randomly selected farmers in the Chapainawabganj District. We exerted a cross-sectional descriptive research technique and a pre-structured questionnaire for data collection through face-to-face interviews. According to the findings, about 52% of the respondents had shallow knowledge about biofertilizers, although the majority (about 67%) had a moderately favorable attitude, indicating enthusiasm to adopt this technology. Additionally, the majority of the farmers strongly supported the idea that increasing publicity initiatives to promote biofertilizer usage would be helpful. Moreover, most of the socio-demographic characteristics of farmers had a significant and positive relationship with their knowledge, where only education and training facilities were positively correlated to their attitude, pointing out that improving these aspects may promote biofertilizer adoption. The study also found that the critical challenges of biofertilizer usage were personal interest gaps, inadequate publicity, lack of awareness about benefits, disorganized training, and high prices or lack of availability. These findings suggest that policymakers and extension service providers should prioritize targeted training and demonstrations to enhance awareness as well as ensure that biofertilizer supplies are affordable and easily accessible.

Authors: Levchenko E. V. , Kuzminov V. S.
Published: February 2025

The significance of the studied problem is determined by the high prevalence of asthenic syndrome, which accompanies numerous somatic and psychosomatic pathologies. It is believed that asthenia is more common among the female population, but this is apparently related to physiological processes occurring in a woman’s body.

Objective of the study: to examine the prevalence of asthenic syndrome among men and women according to age.

Material and methods. The study involved 387 respondents who were required to fill out a questionnaire based on the “Subjective Assessment Scale for Asthenia (MFI20).” The MFI-20 allows for the identification of a range of conditions in respondents: general asthenia, reduced activity, decreased motivation, physical, and mental asthenia with a total score exceeding 12 in each subscale.

Results. In the studied sample, asthenia was identified equally among both women and men. General asthenia was observed in just under half of the respondents, being more common among women (48.8%) than among men (29.1%) (p < 0.01). Reduced activity was noted in approximately one-third of respondents and was equally prevalent among men (14.9 ± 1.8) and women (15.1 ± 2.0), accounting for 29.1% and 32.9%, respectively. A decrease in the motivational sphere was observed in only 14.2% of respondents, with similar rates for both men and women, around 14%. Physical asthenia was identified in one-third of respondents (32.9%), but this condition was significantly more common among women (28.2%) than among men, where it was observed almost twice as infrequently at 16.3%, with average scores on the specified subscale of 14.8 ± 1.9 and 14.7 ± 1.3, respectively (p < 0.05). Mental asthenia was determined in 21.5% of respondents, occurring in 17.4% (14.9 ± 1.8) of surveyed men and 22.6% (15.2 ± 1.7) of women.

Conclusion. The prevalence of asthenia among men and women remains high to this day and requires them to adjust their daily routines, regimes of physical and mental labor, and leisure activities.

Reconstruction of Breach of Performance & Unlawful Acts in Book III of Civil Law (Islamic Legal Analysis)
Authors: Ismanto Dedi , Albani Muhammad Syukri , Adly M. Amar
Published: February 2025

This study examines the conceptual differences between default and unlawful acts in Book III of the Civil Code and reconstructs both concepts in the context of Indonesian civil law. In addition, this study analyzes the perspective of Islamic law on the reconstruction carried out. The method used is normative legal research with a statute approach and a conceptual approach. The results of the study indicate that default and unlawful acts have fundamental differences, where default arises due to a violation of an agreement, while unlawful acts are based on a violation of rights or legal norms. Book III of the Civil Code has provided a clear legal framework related to these two concepts, although in practice it still needs to be strengthened in implementation and adaptation to social developments. The reconstruction carried out in this study confirms that Indonesian civil law continues to develop in accordance with the dynamics of society. From an Islamic legal perspective, the principles of justice, individual responsibility, and good faith in transactions have strong relevance in understanding default and unlawful acts. This study contributes to the development of civil law theory and practice in Indonesia and enriches the study of Islamic law in the context of modern civil law.
Restorative Justice Concept in Islam & Its Implementation in National Criminal Law from Islamic Legal Philosophy
Authors: Fauzi Rizky , Marpaung Watni , Prasetya Nurul Huda
Published: February 2025

The reform of Indonesia's national criminal law marks a paradigm shift from a retributive punishment system to a Restorative Justice approach that places greater emphasis on victim recovery, social reconciliation, and perpetrator rehabilitation. This principle has been accommodated in various regulations, such as Law No. 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, Prosecutor's Regulation No. 15 of 2020, and Article 54 of the new Criminal Code which allows for the consideration of restorative justice in judges' decisions. In Islamic criminal law, the concept of qisas-diyat and the dispute resolution mechanism based on islah (peace) show alignment with restorative justice. Caliph Umar bin Khattab is an example of the application of this approach in a socio-economic context, by postponing punishment for thieves due to starvation. This study uses a normative legal approach with a descriptive-analytical method and a review of maqasid sharia to examine the integration of restorative justice principles in national criminal law. The results of the study indicate that although restorative justice has a place in regulations, its implementation is still limited and faces normative and institutional challenges. Therefore, legislative reform is needed which includes the ratification of special laws, the integration of restorative justice principles in the Criminal Procedure Code Bill, and the expansion of the scope of cases that can be resolved through this mechanism. With a more systematic implementation, restorative justice can become an integral part of the criminal justice system in Indonesia, in line with the principles of Islamic law which emphasize the balance between justice, welfare, and social protection.
Immigrant Gambling in Finland
Authors: Crentsil Perpetual
Published: February 2025

An anthropological study of gambling among immigrant groups in Finland can reveal much about how the society organizes its way of life in categories  elevant for the economist, sociologist, political scientist and the historian. Anthropological studies of other aspects of immigrants’ lives—remittance giving, socio-economic status, and development issues in origin countries—usually present immigrants as ethnographic subjects. These lives are situated in specific historical and social conditions that represent particular images based on certain cultural values in their native homelands and in the place of settlement. Immigrant gambling has every potential to add to this corpus of knowledge.
