Authors: Yuntari Gusti Ayu Krisma , Januraga Pande Putu , Suarjana I Ketut
Published: April 2024

Background and purpose: Several hospitals in Indonesia have developed a model of nursing care known as MAKP (Professional Nursing Care Model) to improve the quality of nursing services. Sanjiwani Hospital, Gianyar has applied this model. The aim of this study is to explore the perception of nurses towards this approach and assess its association with job satisfaction.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 92 nurses working at the inpatient ward at Sanjiwani Hospital, Gianyar. Data were collected from July-August 2017 by interview using questionnaires. Data collected included the characteristics of respondents (age, gender, education, and employment status), nurses’ perception towards the application of MAKP, and nurses’ job satisfaction.
Results: Nursing staff demonstrated perception score of ≥15 on leadership elements (68.5%), communication (72.2%), coordination (84.8%), delegation (80.4%), and supervision (66, 3%). Nursing staff with a score of ≥15 in coordination perception (AOR=4.48; 95%CI: 1.14-17.54), delegation (AOR=4.00; 95%CI: 1.21-13.23) and supervision (AOR=3.35; 95%CI: 1.25-8.88) expressed higher job satisfaction. While aspects of leadership (AOR=0.98; 95%CI: 0.29-3.79) and communication (AOR=0.76; 95%CI: 0.19-3.05) were not significantly associated with job satisfaction.
Conclusions: The majority of nurses have a positive perception towards the MAKP approach. The better perception on coordination, supervision and delegation are found to increase job satisfaction. The results imply that coordination, supervision and delegation should be considered in order to increase job satisfaction in other hospitals.

Authors: Zulfiana Yesvi , Ani Luh Seri , Utami Ni Wayan Arya
Published: April 2024

Background and purpose: The incidence of diarrhea among underfive years children in Indonesia is considerably high. Studies exploring risk factors of diarrhea have been extensively conducted in Indonesia. However, the association between handwashing practices of the mother and quality of toilets with diarrhea among under-five years children are still inconsistent across studies. This study aims to examine the association between handwashing practices of the mother, quality of toilets and the episodes of diarrhea among under-five years children.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 104 under-five years children in Selagalas Village. Samples were selected using systematic random sampling. Data were collected in July 2017 by observation and face-to-face interviews using questionnaires. Bivariate analysis and logistic regression were conducted to examine the association between hand washing practices, quality of toilets and diarrhea among under-five years children.
Results: We found more than half of under-five years children (64.42%) had experienced at least one episode of diarrhea over the last three months. We found a significant association between diarrhea with unhygienic toilets with an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of 2.84 and poor handwashing practices of the mother with AOR of 2.46, however, both have a lower limit of AOR confidence interval that close to one, namely 95%CI: 1.05-5.97 and 95%CI: 1.03-5.87.
Conclusion: Poor hand washing practices and unhygienic toilets are associated with the episodes of diarrhea among under-five years children, however, both have a low programmatic importance. Further study should be carried out to understand the association between handwashing practices and quality of toilets with diarrhea. Despite of the low programmatic importance, good hand washing practice should be promoted and access to toilets that meet the health standard must be enhanced.

Authors: Silva Daniel Afonso Gomes da , Serpe Luís Filippe , Ferreira Degson
Published: April 2024

O setor de e-commerce no Brasil passou por transformações significativas devido à crise global desencadeada pela pandemia de Coronavírus no início de 2020. A necessidade de compreender essa esfera econômica surgiu em função do isolamento social imposto à sociedade. O propósito deste estudo foi analisar o e-commerce e as influências ocasionadas pela pandemia de COVID-19. A metodologia adotada consistiu em uma pesquisa aplicada, utilizando uma revisão sistemática da literatura. O estudo ocorreu entre outubro de 2022 e março de 2023, utilizando o Google Acadêmico para palavras-chave relacionadas ao crescimento do e-commerce durante a pandemia no Brasil e no mundo. Durante o período pandêmico, a automação da indústria 4.0, a abertura de novos centros de distribuição e hubs se mostraram cruciais para mitigar a carência de materiais na cadeia logística. A pesquisa ressalta a importância da automatização da indústria 4.0 e da abertura de novos centros de distribuição durante a pandemia e períodos sazonais para mitigar a escassez de suprimentos. Os resultados apontam que embora os efeitos persistam, a pandemia causou uma mudança significativa no comportamento do consumidor, evidenciada pelo crescimento exponencial do e-commerce. A globalização facilitou esse crescimento ao tornar a internet acessível em praticamente qualquer lugar. A relação entre ações e seus efeitos no supply chain mostra que a pandemia acelerou a migração tecnológica para a indústria 4.0. Inovações como o sistema logístico "Anticipatory Shipping" da Amazon poderiam ter reduzido ainda mais a escassez de suprimentos com melhor planejamento governamental e colaboração público-privada. Essas transformações destacam a necessidade de adaptação contínua e investimentos em logística para enfrentar desafios futuros.

The study provides a fusion data analysis to investigate the attitudes and perceptions of legal professionals in Ecuador regarding the effectiveness and fairness of the monitoring procedure, using a questionnaire based on indeterminate Likert scales. By employing Triple Refined Indeterminate Neutrosophic Sets and the Minimum Spanning Tree, responses were analyzed to reveal trends and groupings in opinions. The identification of response clusters suggested marked differences and homogeneous subgroups in perspectives, highlighting specific areas within legislation and judicial procedures that require attention. The threshold used for the Minimum Spanning Tree provided a quantitative view of cohesion and discrepancy, which has significant implications for legislative reform and judicial practice. This innovative approach offers a valuable model for future research, with the potential to influence policy-making and the promotion of legislative reforms based on empirical data.

Published: April 2024

This qualitative descriptive study explores Ukrainian refugee women’s settlement experiences and how they negotiate the social and health care services to support their mental health and well-being in Canada. Utilizing an intersectional lens data from the lived experience of 16 Ukrainian refugee women was thematically analyzed. Four prominent themes emerge from the women’s narratives of their migration and settlement journey – a) confluence of oppressions; b) multifaceted and interwoven paths to cultural integration and adaptation, c) convergence of identity in professional development; and d) navigating settlement. Research findings reveal the complexities of self-reconstruction and socialization as experienced by refugee women. We are of the opinion that hosting refugee women in a new country and providing hope for a new life mean offering them meaningful choices built on forms of affordable and accessible culturally appropriate health and social services and ensuring that their settlement and integration in their new country is successful.

Effectiveness Of Entrepreneurship Education and Demographic Environment on Entrepreneurial Interest Through Entrepreneurial Attitude as An Intervening Variable
Authors: Zainudin Ahmad , Nasikh Nasikh , Sumanto Agus
Published: April 2024

It is time for the younger generation to change their perspective, do not just think about becoming an employee after graduating from college, let alone a public servant, becoming an entrepreneur needs to be considered as an option. The hope of being accepted into the world of work is certainly not a mistake, but it cannot be denied that job opportunities are very limited and not directly proportional. This study uses a quantitative approach with Partial Least Squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to predict and confirm the hypothesis given. This study uses Google Forms to collect data on private vocational students in Mojokerto Regency. Respondents in this study were 319 respondents who were used as research objects. The results showed that entrepreneurship education cannot explain entrepreneurial attitudes. Likewise, the demographic environment variable cannot explain entrepreneurial interest. Furthermore, the demographic environment will have more influence on entrepreneurial interest, if reinforced by entrepreneurial attitude as a mediator variable. While entrepreneurship education will not have a greater influence on entrepreneurial interest, although strengthened by entrepreneurial attitude as a mediator variable.
Reconstructing the Buddhist’s Monastic Society in Hazara from the 3rd Century BC to 5th Century CE: An Archaeological and Historical Approach
Authors: Zahoor Muhammad , Shakirullah
Published: April 2024

The great difficulty in reconstructing the origin and development of Buddhism in the Hazara region is due to the absence of Buddhist literature and limited archaeological explorations. Many scholars believe that Ashoka was responsible for the spread of Buddhist activities both in and outside the Indian subcontinent. There is no doubt that Buddhism was not spread to the north-western part of the sub-continent including the Hazara, during the lifetime of Buddha. The Hazara also did not escape the notice of the Mauryan emperor Aśoka (3rd century BCE) who not only installed his proclamations, the Mansehra Rock Edicts but also built 200ft high stupa at Machikot Abbottabad that is still intact. The present research aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the Buddhist monastic society that emerged in the Hazara, the northernmost region of Pakistan from the 3rd century BC to the 5th century CE based on archaeological and textual evidence. Archaeological evidence such as inscriptions, stupas, and monastic remains from this period provided insights into the early establishment of Buddhist monastic society.
Spirituality of Struggle
Authors: Aguilan Victor
Published: April 2024

The Philippines is known to be the only predominantly Christian country in Asia. Christianity in both Catholic and Protestant forms came with the Western colonizers. However, despite its identification with the colonizers, Christianity became the faith of the ordinary Filipinos. Western Christianity, the religion of the colonizer, became Filipino Christianity, the religion of the struggling people for independence and self-determination. Philippine Christianity developed an anti-West and anti-colonial character. It became part of the Filipino postcolonial national identity. However, neocolonialism and globalization are undermining and eroding Philippine Christianity’s anti-colonial tradition. Philippine Christianity continues to emulate Western spirituality, such as the prosperity gospel and the health and wellness movement. The paper argues for a spirituality using the perspective of the Theology of Struggle (ToS) developed by Filipino Christian activists. The paper claims that ToS can foster a spirituality of resistance, repentance, solidarity, and renewal in the struggle against globalization and neocolonialism.
Intelligent fertigation, pillar of sustainable agriculture
Authors: Maldonado Enrique Almeida , Camejo Barreiro Lorenzo Eddy , Toca Cosme E. Santiesteban
Published: April 2024

The growing demand for food in the country has required an increase in agricultural production levels and, with it, an increase in irrigation systems. Among the most widespread are central pivot irrigation systems, but their large number and variety make their optimal configuration difficult, generating overexploitation of natural resources such as water and threatening the sustainability of agriculture and the country. For this reason, the objective of this research was to implement software that would allow obtaining the appropriate configuration of this equipment using information on the type of crop, the agro-climatic conditions of the region, and the soil in order to obtain maximum utilization. As a result, an application capable of performing the calculations so that the value of water delivered by the system is closer to the estimated needs for a crop in each of its phases was achieved. To demonstrate this, an experimental study was carried out in field conditions in the agricultural enterprise La Cuba in Ciego de Avila; it showed that, with the use of the software, there was a saving of up to 94.5% of the water previously misused. In addition, the level of liquid provided allows the sowing to be in better conditions to reach its optimum yield. As an added value, the software has a minimalist and intuitive interface, which allows real-time visualization of field information.
A view through the looking glass: co-creation and innovation for student voice and wellbeing in distance education
Authors: Mander Sarah , Fensham-Smith Amber , Connolly Nichola , Reeve Yasmin
Published: April 2024

This paper showcases innovative co-creation practice undertaken by a Student Voice and Wellbeing Group (SVWG) created in the School of Education, Childhood, Youth and Sport, Open University (OU). Ways of doing, seeing, being and believing student voice are discussed alongside the inception
of the SVWG, sharing the whys and how's of its strategic approach and the depth and breadth of its student members′ participation. Underpinning this work is the concept that student voice and wellbeing are inextricably connected and are everyone's responsibility
(Mander, 2021). The impactful student-staff partnership established through this model illustrates an authentic and dialogic practice that centres students as the drivers, rather than the passengers, for enacting change. As an artefact of innovative practice, the authors showcase a newly published
bilingual digital student wellbeing handbook. This example is of interest to Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) seeking innovative models for promoting marginalised voices through co-production. The authors′ reflections and recommendations invite policymakers to re-evaluate existing
student voice and wellbeing strategies and practices.
Supporting widening access, continuation and success: the positive impact of the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)
Authors: Thompson Emma , Yuskaitis Victoria , Lueddeke Katrina
Published: April 2024

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is a Level 3, post-16 UK qualification that students usually take alongside A Levels, prior to entering university or the labour market. It plays an important role in improving access to, and success at university. The University of Southampton's
Learn with US Transition Programme has developed support particularly for students undertaking the EPQ, who are underrepresented at university. This programme responds to the Office for Students′ (OfS) requirement to develop and submit an Access and Participation Plan (APP). The EPQ
challenges the lack of aspiration and deficit discourses that are especially damaging to students from underrepresented backgrounds. Students who complete the EPQ are shown to perform better in terms of Key Stage 5 attainment and at degree level due to developing key academic and research
skills prior to enrolment. The Learn with US team is exploring links between EPQ attainment and other institutional goals, such as addressing degree awarding gaps for under-represented students. The University of Southampton takes a whole-institution, lifecycle approach to removing barriers
for underrepresented students, and the Learn with US Transition Programme is a key element of our provision that is proven to have positive outcomes for students transitioning into university, especially for those students who are already impacted by structural disadvantage.
"The bridge between school and uni, that's the bit that's missing": improving access to higher education for care-experienced students
Authors: Bayfield Hannah , Smith Lena
Published: April 2024

International research has demonstrated that care-experienced young people achieve poorer educational and life course outcomes than their peers. Based on statistics from 2012, the Office for Fair Access (now the Office for Students, OfS) reported that while 60% of the general
population of school leavers in the UK entered higher education (HE), only 6% of care leavers went to university. The latest data from the Department for Education (DfE) shows that this now stands at 14% of care leaversi, though growth remains slower than for the population
as a whole. With rates of children taken into care increasing in Wales, there is value in understanding how best to support this group with their educational transitions. Growing from pan-Wales research into access to, and success in, HE for care-experienced young people, this paper reflects
on how the experiences of care-experienced students gathered through research have been translated into action by developing a website centred around information, advice and guidance for this group and those who support them. In particular, there are reflections here on the value of collaboration
between professional services and academic staff to further access and participation goals in a university setting.
Article: Sustainable AI Regulation
Authors: Hacker Philipp
Published: April 2024

This article addresses a critical gap in the current AI regulatory discourse by focusing on the environmental sustainability of AI and technology more broadly, a topic often overlooked both in environmental law and in technology regulation, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the EU AI Act. Recognizing AI’s significant impact on climate change and its substantial water consumption, especially in large generative models like ChatGPT, GPT-4, or Gemini, the article aims to integrate sustainability considerations into technology regulation, in three steps. First, while current EU environmental law does not directly address these issues, there is potential to reinterpret existing legislation, such as the GDPR, to support sustainability goals. Counterintuitively, the article argues that this also implies the need to balance individual rights, such as the right to erasure, with collective environmental interests. Second, based on an analysis of current law, and the proposed EU AI Act, the article suggests a suite of policy measures to align AI and technology regulation with environmental sustainability. They extend beyond mere transparency mechanisms, such as disclosing greenhouse gas footprints, to include a mix of strategies like co-regulation, sustainability by design, restrictions on training data, and consumption caps, potentially integrating AI and technology more broadly into the EU emissions trading regime. Third, this regulatory toolkit could serve as a blueprint for other technologies with high environmental impacts, such as blockchain and metaverse applications. The aim is to establish a comprehensive framework that addresses the dual fundamental societal transformations of digitization and climate change mitigation.

Article: Single Infringements of Competition Law: Who is liable for what?
Authors: Kalliokoski Toni , Havu Katri
Published: April 2024

The private enforcement of EU competition law depends on national remedial and procedural rules. Both EU law and national rules require a causal link to be established between a harmful event and the resultant harm. The content of this causal link is mostly a matter for national rules. The ECJ case law on the nature of said causal link therefore remains underdeveloped, even though the issue of causality is highly relevant as it concerns every private enforcement case. This article explores the implications of the EU competition law notion of “single infringement” for private enforcement in general and for the understanding of the concepts of “harmful event” and “causal link” in particular. EU-level case law is analysed to determine how the finding of a single infringement could impact private enforcement. It is argued that EU competition law likely affects the application of national causality rules by defining the relevant harmful event through the concept of “single infringement”.

Initial Experience with a New Self-Expanding Open-Cell Stent System with Antithrombotic Hydrophilic Polymer Coating (pEGASUS Stent) in the Treatment of Wide-Necked Intracranial Aneurysms
Authors: Boxberg Frederik , Al-Tibi Mohammad , Schulz Katharina , Lanfermann Heinrich , Schlunz-Hendann Martin , Grieb Dominik
Published: April 2024

Purpose: We report our initial experience with endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms using this new self-expanding open-cell stent system (pEGASUS stent system) with the antithrombogenic hydrophilic polymer coating.Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients treated with stent-assisted coiling or the Woven EndoBridge device using the pEGASUS stent system between September 2022 and June 2023. Demographic, clinical, and angiographic data were analyzed as well as short-term follow-up, including procedural complication rates and aneurysmal occlusion rates using the Raymond–Roy occlusion classification (RROC).Results: Twelve patients with 12 wide-necked intracranial aneurysms were treated with the pEGASUS stent system, including 2 acutely ruptured aneurysms embolized in an emergency setting. The treated aneurysms were located at the anterior communicating artery (25.0%), the basilar artery (50.0%), the middle cerebral artery (16.7%), and the internal carotid artery (8.3%). All stents were deployed successfully. Immediate complete aneurysmal occlusion (RROC class I) was achieved in 83.3% (10/12) and near-complete occlusion (RROC II) in 16.7% (2/12). No periprocedural complications occurred in patients treated in the elective setting. A single case of intraoperative in-stent thrombus formation occurred during the treatment of an acutely ruptured basilar aneurysm and was resolved with intravenous Tirofiban. No other periprocedural complications occurred. Eleven out of 12 patients were available for follow up (mean 7.4 months). Complete aneurysmal occlusion without in-stent stenosis (ISS) was seen in 10 patients (90.9%). One patient (9.1%) showed aneurysmal reperfusion (RROC IIIb) with asymptomatic moderate ISS.Conclusion: Our initial results demonstrate that the pEGASUS stent system appears to be a safe and effective device for stent assisted embolization of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms. More data is necessary to evaluate long-term follow-up.

Overall, the proposed monitoring and control system offers a cost-effective, efficient, and sustainable solution for greenhouse management, with potential applications in commercial agriculture as well as small-scale or hobbyist setups
»Der König, mein Bruder…«. ›Framing‹, Selbstbespiegelung und Selbstvergewisserung in der Historiographie­geschichte altorientalistischer Fächer
Authors: Gertzen Thomas L.
Published: April 2024

Schon Goethes Faust wusste, dass das, was »ihr den Geist der Zeiten heißt« vielmehr »der Herren eigene[n] Geist« darstellt. Nach linguistic turn und Diskursanalyse sind sich auch Historiker zeitgeistiger Einflüsse auf die Geschichtsschreibung bewusst geworden. Im Kontext der Wissenschaftsgeschichte altorientalistischer Forschung lässt sich eine Tendenz erkennen, zeitgeistige Einflüsse grundsätzlich einzugestehen, wobei dies aber nicht unbedingt zur (Neu-)Bewertung älterer Publikationen, sondern allenfalls zu deren ›Aussortierung‹ führt. Zeitgeist erscheint dabei als diffuser Begriff, mit dem vieles ›entschuldigt‹, aber wenig wirklich erklärt wird. Hinzu tritt das Phänomen der Instrumentalisierung von Vergangenheit zur Erklärung der eigenen gesellschaftspolitischen Gegenwart. Der Band will diesem historiographischen ›Framing‹ nachgehen und Darstellungen zur altägyptischen »Arbeiterbewegung«, dem »Königtum in Mesopotamien«, »Totaler Religion« in Amarna oder einer »sumerischen Renaissance« u.a. analysieren.

Indonesia merupakan negara hukum yang sangat menjunjung tinggi keadilan masyarakatnya, setiap peraturan berpedoman pada pancasila dan UUD 1945. Dalam proses berkembang dan majunya demokrasi negara indonesia terletak pada kesejahteraan dan ketentraman rakyat Indonesia. Termasuk dalam hal kesetaraan rakyat dimata hukum yang terdapat dalam UUD 1945 Pasal 27 ayat (1) yang menyatakan bahwa ”Segala warga negara bersamaan kedudukannya di dalam hukum dan pemerintahan dan wajib menjunjung hukum dan pemerintahan itu dengan tidak ada kecualinya”. [1]Penegasan ketentuan konstitusi ini bermakna, bahwa segala aspek kehidupan dalam kemasyarakatan, kenegaraan dan pemerintahan harus senantiasa berdasarkan atas hukum dan demokrasi. Pasal 7 dari Deklarasi Universal Hak Asasi Manusia menyatakan bahwa "Semua orang sama di hadapan hukum dan berhak atas perlindungan hukum yang sama tanpa diskriminasi apapun." Untuk mewujudkan negara hukum salah satunya diperlukan perangkat hukum yang digunakan untuk mengatur keseimbangan dan keadilan di segala bidang kehidupan dan penghidupan rakyat melalui peraturan perundang-undangan dengan tidak mengesampingkan fungsi yurisprudensi.
Supreme Theory of Everything: Deep Mysteries of Thermodynamics
Authors: Tardad Ulaanbaatar
Published: April 2024

Everything has emerged from energy and energy is essentially information. It is the problem of sole thermodynamics. (Nonequilibrium) thermodynamics is called a metatheory, a theory of theories. But thermodynamics has to be connected with hysteresis to be more complete, divine, and alive. Because hysteresis has a lot of stunning properties such as memory, cyclicity, singularity, saturation, and so on, thermodynamics can thus be linked through hysteresis to everything: entropy, negentropy, information, spacetime, the arrow of time, and superconductivity. Both thermodynamics and hysteresis are universal. Thermodynamics contains entire information about everything, while hysteresis describes its structure. When the two are combined, a complete theory will be created. The results of my 5-years studies show that among many counter-intuitive ideas and basic partial theories, the law of hysteresis can explain the full physical world. In this paper, to clarify the big picture of everything many separate subjects of thermodynamics are attempted to be summarized based on hysteretic trigonometry.

Humanity waits for a united theory of physics. Science has two ways to reach this final result: first, infinitesimally detailed scientific research, and second, the study of general trends. The painful lesson of our centuries of research reveals that when one tries to the more detailed the research result, the deeper we go into the endless confusion of information. Instead, the scientific study of the macroscopic and general levels is radically different, like a view from a high mountaintop: no doubt, crystal-clear, easy to understand, ordered, and including the gateway to detailed research. Additionally, the theory of everything is not as complex as theorists think, but very simple, beautiful, and perfect.

This research delves into the multifaceted aspects influencing the adoption and utilization of ChatGPT among postgraduate students. Executed as a qualitative study involving participants from a prominent federal university, the primary objective was to discern students’ nuanced perceptions of ChatGPT and their inclination to embrace it as an academic support tool. Based on Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, the study employed thematic analysis with a focus on critical dimensions. Results illuminate that students are motivated to amplify academic performance, boost productivity, and streamline time management, with ChatGPT emerging as a user-friendly solution. Peer and faculty influence further solidified its integration, evolving into a habitual tool, and the availability of a free version significantly contributed to its widespread adoption. This research highlights the growing prevalence of ChatGPT across diverse academic activities, encompassing exploratory research, programming, presentations, and email composition—however, varying opinions surface regarding its efficacy and limitations in scientific text production. The research findings, particularly in the context of technology assimilation in academia, hold significant relevance for educational policymakers and practitioners. They offer valuable insights that can help form policies that foster the judicious and effective integration of technology within educational settings.

Education plays a pivotal role in societal development and nation-building, particularly in the 21st century, marked by rapid changes and globalization. Ensuring quality education that meets the needs of both the job market and national development is paramount for Thailand’s vision of becoming a “Stable, Prosperous, and Sustainable Country” as outlined in its 20-year National Strategy (2018–2037). Within this framework, the Primary Educational Service Area Offices in the Office of the Basic Education Commission are tasked with providing essential educational services. However, various challenges, including resource inadequacy and service delivery issues, hinder their effectiveness. This research aims to investigate the components of the excellent service provision of the Primary Educational Service Area Offices in the Office of the Basic Education Commission, along with analysing the desired conditions, and the essential needs for providing excellent service. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, including literature review, expert consultations, questionnaire development, and data analysis. The research methodology has been conducted in two phases. Phase 1 of the research focuses on identifying the components of excellent service provision through a literature review and expert consultations. Six core components, including (1) the Development of Personnel Service Providers, (2) the Development of Service Procedures, (3) the Relationships Management with Service Recipients, (4) the Service Quality, (5) the Establishment of Service Culture, and (6) the Service Environment, Technology and Facilities, are identified and validated by the nine qualified experts. Phase 2 involves assessing the current conditions, the desired conditions, and the essential needs for service provision. Data collected from a sample group of 620 individuals across 124 Primary Educational Service Area Offices reveal high levels of current conditions and the highest levels of the desired conditions. The most essential need identified is the Development of Personnel Service Providers. The findings suggest that policies should be implemented to promote the development of personnel service providers and support the implementation of identified components for excellent service provision. Additionally, further qualitative research is recommended to compare service levels among different educational service areas and develop tailored models for excellent service provision.
