Experiences of Higher Education Instructional Designers as Remote Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Herbert Waneta , Ramirez Arlene , Wilson James , LaPrairie Kimberly , Lopez Diana
Published: April 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic-driven shift to emergency remote teaching (ERT) tasked instructional designers (IDs) with supporting faculty while simultaneously transitioning to a work-from-home (WFH) environment. In the post-pandemic return of students to physical campuses, IDs continued to WFH, triggering a need for those training IDs for future dynamic learning situations to understand their realities. Using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, this study explored the lived experiences of six IDs who worked remotely for the first time during the COVID-19 pandemic. Six themes were revealed through participant interviews: job responsibilities, work communication, equipment needs, WFH benefits, future work plans, and WFH challenges.
The Right to Education and Democratic Backsliding in India
Authors: Mukherjee Gaurav
Published: April 2024

Since the election of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to power in the federal elections in India in 2014, the country’s performance in key indicators of democratic quality has suffered. Over the course of its two terms in power, the party has sought to subvert key institutions for accountability, enact an ethno-cultural majoritarian electoral agenda, and use federal law enforcement agencies against their political opponents. While there is extensive literature on the erosion of civil-political rights in the past ten years, the effects of the BJP government on social rights like education and healthcare remain under-explored. Therefore, in this post, I explore three striking dimensions of primary educational policy under the BJP government.

Az éghajlatváltozás korunk egyik legfontosabb globális kihívása. Az éghajlatváltozás elleni küzdelem és hatásainak enyhítése közös felelősség, amiből a magánszemélyeknek, az intézményeknek és természetesen a vállalkozásoknak is ki kell venniük a részüket. A mikro-, kis- és középvállalkozások relatív gazdasági súlyukat tekintve nem képviselnek jelentős erőt, de foglalkoztatási hatásuk, számosságuk miatt minden nemzetgazdaságban stratégiai fontosságúak. A világ fejlettebb gazdaságaihoz hasonlóan a magyar gazdaságban is nagy számban vannak jelen a mikro-, kis- és középvállalkozások, a vállalkozások aránya meghaladja a 99%-ot. A munkaerő mintegy 2/3-át foglalkoztatják, és a GDP több mint felét adják. Kutatásunk célja, hogy pillanatképet adjon a magyar kkv-szektorról, különös tekintettel a környezettudatosság és a tulajdonosok generációs jellemzőinek kapcsolatára. Közel 1500 vállalkozást kérdeztünk meg, amely lekérdezés eredményei jelen tanulmányban került összegzésre.

Issues and Improvement Measures related to the Enforcement of Fair Trade Case
Authors:   Korean Administrative Law Association, Shin Dong Kweon
Published: April 2024

Several issues are being discussed regarding the enforcement of fair trade cases. First, whether to introduce warrantism in relation to judicial control of fair trade cases. However, the introduction of warrantism into the FTC investigation is to change the FTC investigation system, and it is necessary to take a careful approach in terms of supplementing punishment. However, in order to strengthen judicial control, it is necessary to supplement the regulations for field investigations, guarantee the right to assist lawyers, recognize the right to refuse to state statements, and supplement the right to copy data and access. Second, problems have also been raised about the administrative trial procedure under the Fair Trade Act. Even if an objection under the Fair Trade Act is regarded as the nature of a special administrative trial under the Administrative Trial Act, it may be problematic in terms of independence and fairness of the administrative trial that the disposition agency and the ruling agency are the same. However, it is not desirable in light of the expertise and specificity of the fair trade case to use a decision as a general administrative trial procedure to resolve the issue of independence and fairness. Therefore, it is necessary to devise a plan to deal with objection cases by forming a separate decision committee within the FTC. Finally, whether to introduce a three-trial system is also an issue. The Fair Trade Case is operated by the Seoul High Court and the Supreme Court's two-trial system, which is a global standard adopted by most competition laws, not only in Korea. The introduction of the three-trial system expands the rights of the accused, but on the contrary, side effects are expected, such as not being in line with the purpose of the fair trade system, which needs to quickly restore the competitive order. Therefore, it is desirable to maintain the two-trial system as it is, but even if the two-trial system is maintained, it is necessary to strengthen the independence of the FTC, strengthen fairness and expertise, complete the Fair Trade Procedure Act, and strengthen the expertise of the court.
Small concerns about “publication of violation” under the Administrative Procedure Act: Around the protection of the parties
Authors:   Korean Administrative Law Association, Yang Wonseok
Published: April 2024

Under the ｢Administrative Procedure Act｣, the “publication of violations, etc.” was enacted in 2022. Many individual laws stipulate the publication of violations, and each individual law has inconsistent party protection regulations, and there are even individual laws that do not have party protection regulations. Administrative law academia has consistently pointed out these problems, and such efforts have resulted in the publication of violations under the ｢Administrative Procedure Act｣.
However, it would be reasonable to admit only when the public's public interest in preventing the spread of damage to important interests such as public health and safety is recognized because the announcement of the violation can cause significant damage to the party and even if the party's protection regulations are established. On the other hand, it is questionable whether it is reasonable to utilize the public announcement of violations for the public interest of managing the national treasury through voluntary redemption of subsidies. Therefore, it is thought that in the future, research on the publication of violations under the ｢Administrative Procedure Act｣ and existing individual laws should be conducted together.
In addition, if you analyze the provisions of the publication of violations under the ｢Administrative Procedure Act｣, administrative power may be abused, and the procedural regulations are not yet complete in the enforcement decree and enforcement regulations for the protection of the parties. In particular, unlike the announcement of violations, preliminary measures such as the initiation of investigation of ingredients do not have the opportunity to give prior notice and submit opinions that can be received in the disposal process as a pre-disposal step, and such measures are reported to the media to guarantee the people's right to know, causing irreparable damage to the parties.
Therefore, external experts should be involved in each publication stage to prevent abuse of administrative power, and the protection of the parties should be strengthened by quickly supplementing specific procedures for publication. In addition, the announcement of violations under the ｢Administrative Procedure Act｣ should be revised to include pre-disposal measures, and it is necessary to consider the introduction of a preliminary relief system as well as strengthening post-mortem remedies for damages.

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of eight-week strength training using functional exercise band on speed, vertical jump, maximal strength and shot performance in 14-18 age group male soccer players. 24 football players in the 14-18 age group who play in young local football leagues participated in the study on a voluntary basis. The research was designed in two groups as the experimental group (n=12) and the control group (n=12). TRX training was applied to the experimental group of the study, along with basic football training, three days a week for eight weeks. Basic football training was applied to the control group of the study on a regular basis only in the same period of time. The effect of TRX training was investigated by applying speed, vertical jump, maximal strength and shooting accuracy tests to the players in both groups before and after eight weeks of training. SPSS program was used to analyze the data obtained from the research. The normality levels of the data were determined using the Shapiro-Wilk test. Among the parametric tests, independent samples t-test and paired samples t-test were used in the analysis of the data providing the normality assumption. According to the research findings, a statistically significant difference was found in the experimental group in favor of the posttests in vertical jump, benchpress maximal force, squat maximal force and shot hit tests (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between pre-test and post-test values in 10 m speed test (p>0.05). In the control group, a significant difference was found in favor of posttests in vertical jump and shot hit tests (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between 10 m speed, benchpress maximal force and squat maximal strength tests pre-test and post-test values (p>0.05).

Authors: Mohamed Akram Fathima , Saadat Uranus
Published: April 2024

The academic field of second language acquisition has studied the obstacles faced by Arabic ESL learners in developing their English-speaking abilities for many years. This study examines the challenges faced by Omani high school Arabic ESL learners in rural contexts. The country has been focusing on English teaching since 1970. Despite attempts, outcomes remain subpar, necessitating additional tutoring, while graduates face job market challenges due to private sector demand. A qualitative approach was employed to gather data from eight grade 12 students at public schools in Oman, primarily through offline surveys. Data analysis followed a thematic approach, revealing four main themes related to the first research question: English language accessibility issues, self-confidence deficits, mother tongue interference, and external motivation. The second research question identified three major themes: Social stigma, educational background, cultural sensitivity, and fear of negative evaluation. The third research question revealed four major themes: Teachers should receive training to integrate speaking with other skills, engage with native speakers or language learning groups, encourage errors, and value English communication as a sign of adaptability and open-mindedness. The research results concluding a lack of relatedness to the language and rare exposure to the language inside and outside the classroom resulted in incompetence in communication skills in formal settings, which affected their higher education opportunities and employability. To overcome these challenges, theoretical and practical implementations are given for developing instructional strategies that optimize the learners' L2 and enhance their communication skills

The sample frame covered One hundred and Nine (109) hospitals but 58 hospitals were captured within the time covered. The tool of Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 26 were utilized to test the hypotheses based on the Chi-Square & Pearson’s correlation. Hence, our independent variables consist (flexible procurement, supplier selection, logistics outsourcing, medical inventory management, and information technology integration). While, the dependent variable picked on performance measures. The study revealed that there exists a significant relationship between flexible material procurement and hospitals’ performance. Also, supplier selection strategy is related to hospitals’ performance.; inventory management strategy is significantly related to hospitals’ performance. It was concluded that supply chain management could significantly affect public hospitals’ operations if properly managed. This therefore calls for the need for public hospitals to embrace supply chain management by: increasing their capacity through training to efficiently forecast commodity demand, and manage inventory through proper stock codification, good housekeeping, and automation Keywords: Supply chain management; Public Hospitals; Rivers State, material procurement
Strategic environmental assessment of Thai river basins: Incorporating climate change considerations

Published: April 2024

It is globally recognized that climate change is increasingly affecting sustainable development. Given these challenges, it is imperative to incorporate climate change considerations as part of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), a tool used for sustainable development and planning strategies. The Thai government is in the process of developing river basin management schemes and updating SEA for all the river basins in the country. Considering climate change in future development planning processes would ensure that the outcomes enable more sustainable development. In this article, SEA reports for Thai river basins that have been completed were examined to determine if climate change was considered and how it was done.  Analyses were conducted for each of the four phases of SEA, i.e., establishing the context for SEA, implementing SEA, informing, and influencing decisions, monitoring and evaluating plans. The checklist criteria were used to analyze climate change impacts in the river basin SEA reports, focusing specifically on climate change or global warming impacts that lead to serious disasters in the river basins. The results showed that 7 out of the 9 reports currently consider climate change impacts, but not in all phases of the SEA. The linkage of climate change impact analyses between the different phases was weak. There were only 4 reports that sufficiently considered climate change impacts in the second phase of the SEA. These reports used both qualitative and quantitative tools that were appropriate for predicting climate change impacts and with a link to the third and fourth phases. As a result, most of the SEA reports were insufficient in considering climate change impacts.

Dessa forma, faz-se necessária a realização de políticas públicas que erradiquem ou diminuam tal situação na região.
Como a pornografia e a hipersexualização exposta nos meios de comunicação se relaciona com a violência contra crianças e adolescentes.
Authors: De Freitas Osorio Soares e Soares Ana Carolina
Published: April 2024

Nos últimos anos o tema “violência contra crianças e adolescentes”, ganhou mais notoriedade seja na mídia, produções científicas e até mesmo debate sociais, em razão de casos emblemáticos como do menino Henry Borel, contudo, este não é um assunto novo, tampouco crianças e adolescentes passaram a sofrer violência agora, isto acontece há muito tempo.
 
Crianças e adolescentes são submetidas as mais diversas formas de violências, sejam elas físicas, sexuais, psicológicas e emocionais, sendo praticadas majoritariamente por pessoas de estreito vínculo afetivo ou, até mesmo, por veiculos midiáticos como filmes, séries, matérias de revistas, músicas, propagandas, desfiles de  moda.
 
O que o presente artigo demonstra, através de análise bibliografica, é que a pornografia e a hipersexualização de mulheres exposta nos meios de comunicação, como ocorreu no último catálogo lançado pela marca espanhola Balenciaga, podem ser vistas como uma forma de violência contra crianças e adolescentes.

Consciousness and its contradictions
Authors: Dobrovolskaya T. V.
Published: April 2024

The question about the nature of consciousness is one of the key questions in philosophy. Recently, however, increased research interest in the phenomenon of consciousness has been observed not only in philosophy, but also in other disciplines. Many original theories of consciousness have been developed, nevertheless, until now, in the scientific environment (especially among naturalists), only one position remains dominant. Namely, the one according to which consciousness is derived from brain activity. The basis for this idea is, first of all, common sense and, secondly, clinical and neurological evidence obtained by scientists at the turn of the XX and XXI centuries. Yet, despite the wealth of medical data and information about various psychic phenomena, the question about the nature of consciousness remains as acute as ever. Probably, this indicates that the problem of consciousness is caused not by our ignorance of any facts, but by the vagueness of the very concept of consciousness. Here we are dealing not with empiricism, but with the conceptual question of what kind of essence is conceived in this concept. When we ask the question "what is consciousness?", what are we asking?
