The problem raised from this research is how to apply the photojournalistic code of ethics to legal and criminal news in online media Sumeks.co, how to photo news portals on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram online media Sumeks.co. This type of research is qualitative, the main or primary source is the acquisition of information in the form of words and sentences, either in the form of questions or statements. Data collection techniques through observation and documentation and use semiotic theory. Snowball sampling was used and the writer was able to gather more information to fill in the data gaps. Based on these findings, it is clear that most of the views of journalists about how the Journalistic Code of Ethics should be applied are contrary to the regulations stipulated therein. Likewise, the Journalistic Code of Ethics regulates the behavior of journalists and the media regarding the use of photographs in reporting. As with other online media, Sumeks.co will strive to comply with the Photojournalism Code of Ethics in all its reporting.

The Role of the Alliance of Independent Journalist (AJI) Palembang in Dealing with Hacking and Disinformation of Journalist
Authors: Inayah Tuti
Published: February 2024

In the midst of the rampant hacking and disinformation efforts of journalists. The Alliance of Independent Journalists (AJI) Palembang continues to work on preventing hacking and disinformation, with the dynamics of rapid information transformation. Professional journalists are demanded not to get caught up in disinformation. The challenge of dealing with this problem is getting tougher when the onslaught of social media (Medsos) occurs. Social media is a public space for exchanging opinions and information which is very popular at this time. This is a challenge for the Alliance of Independent Journalists (AJI) Palembang in determining the initial steps that must be taken in the role of preventing and protecting journalists who have experienced hacking and disinformation. Researchers used qualitative methods through documentation, observation and interview approaches. From the results of the research that has been done, it can be concluded that the role of AJI in dealing with hacking and disinformation is through the workings of the press. This step is consistently carried out by AJI considering that hacking and disinformation are also often used to undermine press freedom or the credibility of press freedom defenders.

AJI's goal is none other than to support a healthy information ecosystem for the public. In accordance with the Press Law number 40 of 1999, journalists have freedom in carrying out journalistic work. So there must be efforts of terror and silencing. Any physical or non-physical attacks and disinformation efforts cannot be justified. AJI sharply condemned these steps. In addition, AJI also provides digital security training and seeks to advocate for every journalist affected by digital attacks or disinformation for legal settlement.

Formations of the Carboniferous-Lower Permian carbonate deposits of the Upper Pechora basin (Northern Urals)
Authors: Sandula A.
Published: February 2024

The Upper Pechora basin is part of the northeastrn margin of the European Platform. In the Paleozoic, it was located within the carbonate shelf of the passive continental margin. According to A. I. Eliseev, Visean terrrigenous-carbonate (platamovy type) and Upper Visean-Lower Artinskian carbonate (kaleydovy type) formations occupy the upper part of the final sedimentation cycle of the formations row. According to new data, the history of the geological development of the Upper Pechora basin of the Late Visean-Asselian period has significant differences. Four types can be distinguished in the structure of sediments according to the composition of rocks: siliceous-clay-limestone, limestone, dolomite-limestone, siliceous-limestone. They were formed during three stages respective to the time of formation of three transgressive-regressive cyclites: the Visean-Serpukhovian, Bashkirian-Moscovian, Upper Carboniferous-Lower Permian. The studied deposits are divided into lithological complexes: siliceous-clay-carbonate of open sea (Tulian), siliceous-carbonate of open sea (Aleksinian-Early Mikhailovian, Bashkirian-Early Moscovian, Kasimovian-Midle Gzhelian), carbonate of shallow-shallow (Late Mikhailovian-Protvinian, Moscovian), and also the Late Gzhelian-Asselian shallow-depression (siliceous-limestone, limestone, clay-limestone). Lithological complexes, formed in open-sea conditions, belong to formations from the platamovy type and in shallow-shallow conditions — to formations from the kaleidovy type (by Eliseev, 2008).
Stromatolites in the Upper Visean sediments of the Pacha-Lasta section (Ilych River, Northern Urals)
Authors: Shadrin A. , Ivanova R. , Ponomarenko E
Published: February 2024

The object of the study is the carbonate section «Pacha-Lasta» (Ilych river, Northern Urals). The work is based on the study of the composition, structure of rocks and species diversity of the foraminifera contained in them. The rocks are represented by various limestones with numerous remains of foraminifera, brachiopods, corals, echinoderms, frequent calcispheres and rare stromatolites. Based on the presence in the complex of certain foraminifera genera Biseriella, Globivalvulina, various Eostaffella (including E. ikensis tenebrosa) as well as the species Endothyranopsis sphaerica and Asteroarchaediscus baschkiricus, the Venusian age of the deposits is reliably established. Stromatolite formations, which are not characteristic of the same-age deposits of the area, were established at two intervals of the studied section. They are composed of micritized colonies of cyanobacteria, among which Ortonella and Girvanella are identified. These formations belong to the type of skeletal stromatolites, which in the Silurian and Late Devonian had a certain paleogeographic position and fixed the margin of the carbonate platform. For the Ilych River basin, a consistent decrease in relative sea level is assumed after the Early Visean transgression with a change in the conditions of the open sublittoral (Tula and Aleksinsky horizons) to the conditions of insular shallow water (Mikhailovsky and Venevsky horizons). In the latter, stromatolites can sometines occur, which are not characteristic of the Upper Visean deposits of the area.
Late Devonian plume Tsilemsky dyke (Middle Timan): composition and K-Ar age
Authors: Shuyskiy A. , Kulikova K. , Udoratina Oksana , Lebedev V.
Published: February 2024

The trachytes of the Tsilemsky Kamen of Middle Timan are rocks of the Shoshonitic series. The rocks have a microporphyry structure with a bostonite groundmass. Trachytes contain two varieties of potassium feldspar. The laths of the groundmass are composed of igneous sanidine, and the small grains along the edges of subisometric late quartz segregations are composed of hydrothermal microcline. Dating of trachytes by the K-Ar method gave an age of 365±8 Ma; the intrusion of the alkaline dike occurred in the Late Devonian. These rocks, along with trap basalts, recorded the occurrence of several pulses of plume magmatism on Timan in Devonian time.
Solving a Typical Small Sample Size MRSM Dataset Problem Using a Flexible Hybrid Ensemble Approach for Credibility
Authors: Chikobvu Delson , Pavolo Domingo
Published: February 2024

Multiresponse surface methodology often involves small data analytics which, statistically, have regression modelling credibility problems. This is worsened by dataset, model selection and solution methodology uncertainties. It is difficult for solution methodologies which select and use single best models per response at simultaneous optimisation to effectively deal with these problems. This paper exploited the fact that model selection criteria choose differently, in a flexible hybrid ensemble system, to generate several solutions for integration and comparison. Mean square prediction error, with bias-variance-covariance decomposition values, was computed and analysed at simultaneous optimisation. Results suggest that the credibility of the final solution is enhanced when working with multiple models, solution methodologies and results. However, the results do not show any significance of small sample size correction to model selection criteria and analysis of bias-variance-covariance decompositions at simultaneous optimisation does not encourage dependence on theoretical optimality for best results.
Least square estimation of non-linear structural models
Authors: Oldenburg Reinhard
Published: February 2024

A new method for estimating a wide class of structural equation models (SEM) is proposed and evaluated. A weighted least squares approach is used that estimates parameters and latent variables. This new approach is flexible enough to handle non-linear and non-smooth models and allows us to model various constraints. The method includes various strategies to deal with the problem of choosing weights. The principle strengths and weaknesses of this approach are discussed, and simulation studies are performed to reveal the problems and potential of this approach.
Statistical Models to Measure the Impact of Intellectual Property Rights Protection on Foreign Trade in Egypt
Authors: Ali Hanaa Hussein
Published: February 2024

This study aims to estimate the relationship between the Protection of intellectual property rights indices and the foreign trade index in Egypt from 1995 to 2022. The comparison has been made between many models such as full modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) model, dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) model , canonical co-integration regression (CCR) model and autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model. The results of the study showed that the best model was the ARDL model to increase its interpretive capacity. The study also showed that the most important property rights protection indicators affecting the foreign trade index are the number of applications and registrations of brands, the number of patents registered and granted, the number of applications and registrations of industrial designs, and the proportion of expenditure on research and development as a proportion of gross domestic product (GDP). The estimated model also passed all diagnostic tests and showed that there was no autocorrelation, no Heteroskedasticity. In addition, it was found to follow a normal distribution and to be stable.

Difficult behaviour in groups
Authors: Doel Mark
Published: February 2024

This article is based on work with 24 groupworkers in a Children’s Services agency in the English Midlands. Focus groups to consider the training priorities for groupworkers revealed one of the most pressing issues was difficult behaviours in groups. (This was initially referred to as challenging behaviour, but it was recognised that the word is ambiguous, so it was replaced by ‘difficult’). The groupworkers were asked to present an example of difficult behaviour, some of which are reproduced here, as part of a process to understand the meaning of difficult behaviour and to add context. Nine themes arose from the work with the Children’s Services groupworkers, and the article explores each theme and its implications for groupwork practice. The article relates the topic of difficult behaviour to the wider literature and suggests that the key to understanding and working with these behaviours in groups is the ability of the groupworker to unlock the meaning of the behaviour, and to find a way to articulate this alongside group members. Groupworkers’ honesty with themselves about the feelings aroused by difficult behaviours emerges as a significant factor.
Involving school students in social action in America
Authors: Cary Cierra , Reid Chekana , Berdan Kristina
Published: February 2024

The following article describes the work and vision of the Youth Dreamers group in Baltimore, which evolved as a result of young people’s involvement in the social action process as part of a school community action course run by teacher Kristina Berdan. In the first part, student members of the group, Chekana Reid and Cierra Cary, describe how they identified their key issue, the need for a youth-run youth centre where young people could go after school to take part in a range of constructive activities. Youth Dreamers started to take action to achieve their goals and have been successful in fund-raising and gaining political support and community support for the venture. In the second part, their teacher Kristina Berdan reflects at length on her experience of the social action process, its educational impact on her students, the contrast between the achievements of the Youth Dreamers group and her regular English class and the differences and sometimes contradictions inherent in her two roles of teacher and social action worker.

I remember that …’ Reminiscence groups with people with dementia
Authors: Parker Jonathan
Published: February 2024

This paper describes a small scale group project developing and delivering reminiscence work with people with dementia and undertaken by social work students as part of their practice learning experiences. The potential for enhancing the student learning experience and additional benefits for staff and group participants are explored and the limitations of the study critiqued. Findings indicated that students and staff gain mutual benefits from such projects which also have the potential to create possibilities for the enhancement of service delivery. The project stemmed from a desire and objective to ensure the sustainability of reminiscence work as part of an earlier cross-European comparison of the use of volunteers in working with people with dementia. However, sustainability issues require careful planning and thought. The study highlights the need for the participation of all stakeholders, especially those who are marginalised, in developing and undertaking groupwork.
Changing perceptions
Authors: St. Thomas Bruce , Johnson Paul
Published: February 2024

In collaboration with Additional Support for People in Retraining and Employment (ASPIRE), Work Opportunities Unlimited, Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), The Children’s Cabinet and DHHS case managers, a twelve week peer support program was established which resulted in participants not only getting to tell their life stories and be heard, but more importantly getting to rediscover the roots of their own resiliency. Resiliency theories often relate to the abilities of children to navigate through the complex issues of trauma and recovery. Seldom do we consider the application of such theories to adult life situations. Utilizing the group process that explored both the pain and resiliency of individuals who have had tremendous barriers to employment and feeling successful in the world, through peer support and problem solving with the Children’s Cabinet, many obstacles were resolved. In review of each adult’s life story one could observe both the barriers and opportunities that were embedded in the relational fabric of their life events.
Involuntary clients are different
Authors: Levin Kay Goler
Published: February 2024

Groupwork has always been interested in empowering individuals to help themselves and others. Within successful therapeutic groups, group process is central to and provides a unique way of helping. Most of the research has been with voluntary populations, and the groups have already been in existence or are naturally formed groups.Focusing on involuntary clients, my research studied the use of individual relational theories, in conjunction with group engagement theories. Understanding the relational aspects of the group interactive process has provided another way to conceptualize the engagement process with involuntary clients. This paper combines individual and group theories in order to construct a conceptual model for theory building and effective practice with involuntary clients.It was found that with an involuntary population the group leaders’ acceptance of the anger that group members initially bring to this interaction is especially important. This is the beginning of the engagement process with involuntary clients.
Integration of the learning process and the group development process in group supervision
Authors: Berteau Ginette , Villeneuve Louise
Published: February 2024

This article focuses on group supervision, inviting readers to take an interest in two ongoing processes: the group process, i.e., the stages of group development, and the integration of the learning process. These processes occur as the group is reflecting on issues brought to it. Supervisees do not realize that they encounter, and are even often affected by, the intertwining of these two processes; however, supervisors should be aware of this in their desire to guide their supervisees skilfully.In addition to presenting an explanation of these processes, this article highlights conditions of success for group supervision: clarification of the institution’s mandate and the status of the supervisor, elements to be considered when setting up group supervision, the importance of negotiating the contract, and the characteristics of the group at work. Although no existing theory integrates the entirety of the practice of group supervision, we have attempted to demonstrate links between these two processes by drawing on both our own experience and a conceptual framework. We believe that our conception of group supervision is worth validating through future research.SommaireLe présent article illustre comment les processus d’intégration des apprentissages et les phases d’un développement d’un groupe s’entrecroisent et s’inter-influencent dans un groupe de supervision. Après avoir traité desdits processus, les auteurs décrivent les principaux phénomènes issus de cet amalgame. L’article se termine en décrivant les conditions de réussite d’une supervision de groupe.
Group support during caring and post-caring:
Authors: Larkin Mary
Published: February 2024

This article discusses the findings about the role of face-to-face carers groups which emerged from a qualitative, interpretive study of 37 former carers’ experiences. The study was informed by grounded theory and semi-structured in-depth interviews were used as the main method of data collection. The advantages and disadvantages of carers groups during caring and post-caring that were identified are presented. These include the nature of the support they provided for their members, their limitations and ways in which they can be developed in order to meet the needs of carers and former carers. The concepts of social integration and social support are used to supplement the interviewees’ explanations of the beneficial effects of carers groups. Following the discussions, suggestions are made about further research into increasing the effectiveness of carers groups’ in meeting the needs of those who are caring and their previously unrecognized role in meeting post-caring needs.
Not just for romance:
Authors: Maidment Jane , Crisp Beth R.
Published: February 2024

In this article we address how a contemporary adaptation of the ‘speed dating’ model was used for educational purposes with two cohorts of social work students. We outline the dimensions of ‘speed dating’ as a contemporary social phenomenon, then address how this model relates specifically to groupwork process, and can be used to facilitate social work student learning. The curriculum for two classroom group activities using the ‘speed dating’ model are outlined, the first to develop university level study skills, the second for debriefing field placement learning experiences. Finally we examine why the ‘speed dating’ metaphor was successful in provoking a playful yet constructively creative space for students to engage in groupwork process.
Groupwork in multicultural classrooms
Authors: Singh Penny
Published: February 2024

Globally classrooms are becoming more multicultural and multilingual in nature and educators and learners alike are experiencing difficulty in coping with this diversity. This study started with problems that my colleagues in Science and Health Sciences were experiencing with interaction and communication among learners in their diverse classrooms. Educators were also experiencing difficulties in motivating students to work effectively in groups. The purpose of this paper was to structure and manage groupwork in the classroom not only for the benefit of learners but the educators as well, because they too have to learn to function effectively with their learners who come from diverse backgrounds, just as their learners have to communicate with them. Using an action research methodology, four phases of groupwork were conducted until a suitable structure was arrived at to the satisfaction of the participants. Valuable lessons in structuring groupwork, facilitating intercultural communication and conducting research in one’s own classroom were learned from this study.

Published: February 2024

This paper reports an evaluation by patients, staff and volunteers involved in different types of groupwork in a palliative day care centre; policy comment and research suggests that social as opposed to healthcare objectives in palliative day care are ill-defined. Staff and volunteers completed questionnaires (n=48) and patients were interviewed (n=37) about nine social objectives formulated from the palliative day care and groupwork literature. The results demonstrate agreement between patients, staff and volunteers about objectives, with most objectives assessed being positively identified as being helpful. Formal activity groups organised around creative arts, involving creation of an artistic object were more important to staff and volunteers, while patients gave equal importance to less formal social groups. Staff valued patients supporting each other about their illness and death, while patients were divided, with some preferring not to share. The researchers suggest that the staff and volunteers’ focus on creative activities and outcomes led them to give less priority to specific efforts to engage patients in social skill development to combat social isolation.
The use of ‘play’ with a group of young new arrival students in Hong Kong
Authors: Lee Francis Wing-lin , Li Richel Chen
Published: February 2024

The use of groups and the concept of ‘Play’ to work with students with different problems and needs is a common practice in the school setting. ‘Play’ implies the use of games and activities. ‘Play’ is primarily used with children of pre-school age; it is seldom used with adolescents, who are believed to be more rational. Through the use of ‘Play’, different concepts, principles, attitudes and types of behaviour can be consciously or unconsciously induced. This paper introduces the operation of a group that has employed ‘Play’ in a school setting in Hong Kong with some young new arrivals (YNAs) from mainland China. This group has three objectives: (1) the enhancement of its members’ self-understanding, (2) the enlargement of their social circle and (3) the teaching of social and communication skills. Through comparison with a control group, it was found that the use of ‘Play’ in this group was effective in achieving the objectives. It is recommended that groups and the concept of ‘Play’ be used to help YNAs adjust to a new environment.

Training in groupwork in social work education is a critical aspect of promoting the continued use of groupwork in social work practice. Groupwork courses in social work education should integrate theory and practice; emphasize the processes that make groups effective; and train group leaders by providing experiential learning opportunities for how to lead groups. Likewise, groupwork in social work education should keep up with practice trends in the field of social work. According to Tucker and Norton’s (2009) research, current trends in social work practice with groups in the United States include the use of adventure-based practices with clients to effect positive change. Research also shows the increased use of adventure-based practices in the U.K. and other parts of the world. This practice trend is not new; however, Tucker and Norton found that very few social workers in the United States ever receive hands-on training in challenge and adventure activities while they are in school. The lack of experiential training in challenge and adventure activities in groupwork may lead to professional incompetence and poor programming, or the absence of challenge and adventure programming in social work practice with groups altogether. This study addressed the issue of groupwork training in social work education by providing social work students with an opportunity to participate in adventure-based groupwork. Pre- and post- survey research measured the impact of adventure-based groupwork on student’s self-concept and perception of competence in major life skills, group cohesion, and level of knowledge regarding application of challenge and adventure activities with social work clients. Data analysis revealed statistically significant improvements in all areas.
The effect of group-based life coaching on happiness and well-being
Authors: Style Charlotte , Boniwell Ilona
Published: February 2024

This study set out to test the hypothesis that overall well-being and happiness can be affected by a structured, supportive, peer coaching group that facilitates, the positive aspects that contribute to happiness and well-being. This study examined the effects of a coaching workshop that takes an integrated and self-directed focus towards achievable congruent goals in all areas of life. The workshops encourage intrinsic motivation, selfknowledge, positive feeling, self-efficacy and growth. In a quasi-experimental two-factor design, 40 self-selected participants were randomly assigned to attend either a coaching workshop run once a week over a six-week period (experimental group n=23), or a control group (control group n=17). A series of 2x3 split plot analyses of variance were carried out with Time (pre v post v follow up) as the within participant factor and Group (experimental v control) as the between participants factor. All participants completed self-report measures for general happiness, psychological well-being, satisfaction with life, self-efficacy, positive emotion and hope. These measures were completed before and after the experimental intervention and then again three months later. The experimental group attended at least four public life-coaching workshops over a six-week period. The control group also met once a week as an unstructured group in general discussion over the same time period and again were required to attend at least four times. The results for those in the experimental coaching group showed a significant effect compared to the control group. The number of participants was small yet the study produced some significant results, which were sustained for three months. Group life coaching can certainly be said to effect aspects of being that are known to be important contributors to intrinsic motivation, happiness and well-being.
Global group work

Published: February 2024

This article focuses on the Global Group Work Project’s action research study to explore and identify essential cross-national and cross-cultural elements of social groupwork practice, and to provide a model for international research and collaboration. It details study methods, process and outcome findings, analysis and recommendations. The key finding of the global themes of being together and doing together in social work groups, as well as the identification of local, indigenous practices contribute empirical knowledge about groupwork’s international nature, with implications for teaching, research and practice.
Introduction
Authors: Ethridge Alicia , Johnson Paul
Published: February 2024

This paper examines the theoretical underpinning of service learning, groupwork and other relevant pedagogies which together enhance and greatly enrich the learning opportunities for students. Following this the authors describe the development and growth of service learning at the University of Southern Maine. It is the authors’ belief that this modality enriches the academic experiences of students and faculty, and benefits not only the university community but also the wider community. The authors provide a number of accounts of how service learning has been infused into the curriculum. Finally, a number of personal narratives are provided which further exemplify the benefits of this approach to one’s education and foster a sense of social and civic responsibility. These tenets also coincide with the principles of groupwork and social work.
Community arts exhibitions, as a form of group knowledge production
Authors: Bryce Hazel
Published: February 2024

This piece discusses how a community arts exhibition produced by a group of mental health service users can be a form of knowledge production.  With the potential benefits of reduced stigma and emancipation for those involved, whether exhibiting or interacting with the exhibits. I would like to encourage service users and clinicians to jointly explore how “beyond text” media, including art, can be co- produced together as part of group work to inform and supplement more traditional forms of knowledge and research.
