Layered NbS2 contacts formed via H2S reaction with Nb for high-performance WSe2-channel p-type transistors
Authors: Hori Koki , Chang Wen Hsin , Irisawa Toshifumi , Ogura Atsushi , Okada Naoya
Published: November 2024

Metallic transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are garnering attention as source/drain contact materials for TMDC-channel transistors. We demonstrate that NbS2, a metallic TMDC with a high effective work function of 4.69 eV, improves the performance of WSe2 p-type transistors when utilized as a contact material at the source/drain. NbS2 was synthesized through H2S annealing of Nb on WSe2. The annealing temperature was optimized to 600 °C, effectively balancing Nb sulfidation while minimizing damage to WSe2. The NbS2 contacts formed through this process yielded an improvement in on-state current for WSe2 p-type transistors, attributed to reduced contact resistance. Thus, NbS2 emerges as a promising contact material.

Polskie oficjum o św. Jakubie Starszym
Authors: Kubieniec Jakub
Published: November 2024

Artykuł dotyczy historii o św. Jakubie, której zapis zachował się w czternastowiecznym antyfonarzu kieleckim. Tekst oparty jest na apokryficznym żywocie apostoła, a w muzyce wykorzystano melodie skomponowane pierwotnie do historii o św. Wojciechu, św. Stanisławie i św. Jadwidze Śląskiej. Oficjum, napisane prozą i wierszem, najwyraźniej przez jakiegoś polskiego autora ok. 1300-50, nie zostało uwzględnione w Analecta Hymnica i być może dlatego było dotychczas pomijane przez polskich muzykologów.

Published: November 2024

There is a lack of attention given by researchers to investigate the personality side of pharmacists and pharmacist job satisfaction that may affect organizational commitment to work in pharmacies and pharmacist performance. Thus, this study aims to determine the direct effect of personality traits, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment on the job performance of pharmacists. Moreover, this study measures the mediating effect of organizational commitment in the relationship between personality traits and the job performance of pharmacists. Additionally, this study also measures the mediating roles of organizational commitment in the relationship between job satisfaction and the job performance of pharmacists. 160 pharmacists from pharmacies in Banyumas Regency, Central Java, Indonesia, are selected using simple random sampling methods, and questionnaires are distributed to collect the data. The survey data are analyzed using inferential statistics consisting of a t-test, F-test, and mediation regression model with a step causal method. The t and F Test describe the contribution of each variable on pharmacists’ job performance, whereas the regression model with a step causal method is used to explain the mediation effect of organizational commitment. The findings show that personality traits, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment significantly affect pharmacists’ job performance. The results also showed that personality traits and job satisfaction significantly influenced organizational commitment. In summary, personality traits, job satisfaction, and organizational commitments significantly influence pharmacists’ ability to perform their duties in the Banyumas regency. Organizational commitments have a partial mediation effect of organizational commitment on the relationship between personality, job satisfaction, and job performance of pharmacists. This study suggests that personality traits, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment can improve the work performance of pharmacies in the Banyumas regency.
The Impact of Economic Policy Uncertainty on Business Transaction Credit Supply
Authors: Jiangxia Zhang
Published: November 2024

Based on the China Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) Index, this study uses quarterly data of listed companies from 2003 to 2022 to examine how economic policy uncertainty affects corporate commercial credit supply decisions. This report mainly uses simple OLS regression method and fixed effects OLS to study the impact of EPU on commercial credit supply. The results indicate that an increase in EPU will significantly reduce the commercial transaction credit provided by companies. After eliminating the impact of time and industry, EPU has a more significant impact on the credit supply of commercial transactions. Thus, for policy makers, it is necessary to maintain the stability of economic policies as much as possible and, if necessary, supplement corresponding supporting measures to alleviate the adverse effects of EPU.

The general purpose of this study is to determine the issues and challenges of special education (SPED) teachers in teaching children with learning disabilities in the City Division of Ilagan Isabela, Philippines. The 15 SPED teachers were served as the respondents of this study using purposive sampling technique. Qualitative Research Method (QRM) was utilized to determine the issues and challenges of the teachers. Thematic analysis was employed to interpret the data. The analyses on the sharing of the key informants regarding their collective description of their challenges as SPED teacher led to the emergence of five distinct themes that include, choosing appropriate strategy and motivation; identifying individual needs; challenging but fulfilling; acceptance and patience; and respect one’s right. Most teachers teaching children with learning disabilities did not receive any special needs education training from the school, they feel that they are not qualified to teach the children with learning disability. Moreover, teachers assigned in SPED classes lack of strategies in dealing with learners with disabilities. This study revealed that the classrooms for children with learning disabilities in Division of Ilagan at large have poor learning environment to support the SPED such as lack of budget, curriculum guide, Instructional Materials (IMs) and even school facilities. It could be concluded that placement of learners with special needs in an inclusive classroom with ordinary learners is not enough with no proper support. Learners with disability did not receive all the necessary support and services for accessing the curriculum facilities; and stakeholders’ supports is very minimal to support the needs of the students enrolled in SPED classes. On the other hand, issues and problems were solved technically to sustain the positive working environment among school heads, teachers and stakeholders. The Department of Education Training and Development in collaboration with regional in service officers should organize continuous professional development opportunities on inclusion strategies of learners with SPED needs. The implementers of the SPED programs shall strictly adhere to the policies, and the strong support of the stakeholders shall be encouraged by formulating active organization spearheaded by the school head.

Published: November 2024

Recent studies have indicated that early childhood education (ECE) teachers’ responsibilities have expanded to include leadership functions. In school contexts the phenomenon is called teacher leadership and the same concept has recently been adopted in ECE research literature. Additionally, there are other concepts and perspectives connected to leadership performed by ECE teachers. This literature review aimed to explore the conceptualization, characteristics, and enactment of leadership performed by ECE teachers. Leadership that ECE teachers perform in their work is characterized as a multidimensional and contextual phenomenon, and as intentional influencing, which is based on collaboration and distribution. The focus is on pedagogical leadership, although teacher leadership is a broader concept, which can also include administrative tasks. The findings of the review suggest investigating teacher leadership more within the distributed leadership perspective by focusing on ECE teachers’ essential role in enhancing other actors’ participation in leadership. The literature review reflects the need to clarify the conceptualization of ECE teacher leadership for developing teacher leadership research, especially in an ECE context.

Authors: Bartan Murat
Published: November 2024

This research was carried out to determine the effect of different storytelling methods on children's understanding and attention span of pre-school education period. The research is a quantitative study that took place in two stages. In the first stage, with the descriptive screening model, it was determined which of the different storytelling methods used by a total of 72 preschool teachers during the education period. In the second stage, the effectiveness of the four different storytelling methods that teachers stated most was examined by using comparative non-synchronized post-test design. The experimental stage was carried out with 40 children, whose ages ranging from five to six, receiving pre-school education. In the research, each of the four separate stories was presented with four different storytelling methods. As a result of the research, it was determined that the method of telling the story most frequently used by the teachers was “By reading from the story-tale book”, and the method they used the least was the telling with the “Shadow puppet”. When looking at the level of children's understanding of stories, it was determined that the most effective method was the method of telling “By reading from the story-tale book”, and the least effective method was the method of telling with the “Story card”. When the effects of the stories on the focus and attention span of the children were analysed, it was determined that the most effective method was the method of “Storytelling using the computer”, and the least effective method was the method of storytelling with the story card. At the end of this research, it was concluded that the effective use of audio-visual elements in storytelling methods was the most effective factor for children to understand the story and focus on it for a long time.
School closure resulting from a bad school management approach: An early childhood teacher narrative
Authors: Ahi Berat , Tabak Hasan
Published: November 2024

This research focused on the academic year of a preschool teacher in a school that was considered to have a bad management approach. As narrative researchers, we acquired stories about the teacher's experiences by using various narrative approaches such as long-term participant observations at the school, document reviews, and interviews with relevant people. As a result of the research, we grouped the teacher’s stories about herself and about bad school management throughout the course of one year under themes such as the teacher’s acceptance of the school-a journey that began well but that developed problems such as a never-ending questioning process.

The construction of monolithic buildings in the city of Almaty is being discussed. The high-rise building has received significant development in the megalopolis area - more than 100 buildings up to 38 floors have been built. Experimental dynamic characteristics of buildings with
dynamic characteristics of a tall building (periods and forms of natural oscillations, decrement of
oscillations) and verification of the correctness of the calculated prerequisites adopted in their construction are relevant. The regulatory framework for the construction of earthquake-resistant buildings in Kazakhstan was analyzed. The data are given to determine the dynamic characteristics of a 22-storey monolithic building. The results are compared with the periods of fluctuations of a 25-storey hotel in Kazakhstan and a 35-storey building along Al-Farabi Street (Nurli Tau district). The results of the work can be used in the design of high monolithic buildings.
