Published: May 2024

This descriptive study was conducted to determine the teachers' level of coping mechanisms in the in-person classes in the selected districts in a large school division of Central Philippines for School Year 2022-2023. The needed data for this study was collected from 100 respondents using a self-made survey questionnaire that has passed the rigorous validity and reliability tests. The findings revealed that teachers possess robust skills and strategies for managing various stressors and challenges they encounter in their teaching environment. Teachers with a very high level of coping mechanisms are likely adept at managing stress effectively. They can navigate demanding situations such as classroom management issues, workload pressures, or personal challenges without becoming overwhelmed. High coping proficiency indicates resilience among teachers. They can bounce back from setbacks and adapt to changes in their teaching environment more easily. A significant difference exists in the teachers’ level of coping mechanisms in relationships when grouped by age, civil status, and educational attainment in emotion and adaptive-focused. These findings call for establishing a collaborative partnership between the administrators to encourage teachers to participate in ongoing professional development opportunities related to stress management, resilience building, and well-being. Workshops, courses, and seminars can provide teachers with new strategies and resources to      enhance their coping skills.

Published: May 2024

This research aims to select the most suitable type of water turbine for the micro-hydro power plant (PLTMH) site in the Anggi District, Pegunungan Arfak Regency, West Papua Province. The study also aims to design the most optimal and effective turbine in terms of technical aspects and generator system reliability. This objective is directed towards providing recommendations for the development of the second unit of PLTMH Anggi in a more comprehensive manner rather than relying solely on expert recommendations without thorough analysis. The data used in this research was obtained from field surveys and secondary data sources. The initial step in selecting the turbine type involves manual turbine design calculations, taking into consideration parameters such as water flow, head height, and hydraulic efficiency. Based on these calculation results, the "Francis" turbine type was chosen as the preferred option, differing from the existing Propeller Tubular Type-S turbine installed in Unit 1. The selected turbine, "Francis," was then modeled using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations with the Ansys Fluent software. These simulations provide computer-generated data on hydrodynamic characteristics, pressure distribution, and flow velocity around the turbine under various operational conditions. This research has significant implications for improving the efficiency and reliability of the micro-hydro power plant system for the optimal power and efficiency development of Unit 2.

Published: May 2024

The 1999 Nigerian Constitution, as amended, grants State legislatures the authority to enact laws permitting former Governors and Deputy Governors to receive pensions. The Cross River State House of Assembly exercised this provision by instituting life pensions for former Governors and their deputies, extending it to cover former Acting Governors, Speakers, and Deputy Speakers of the state legislative body. Subsequently, a former Speaker initiated legal proceedings to compel the State to grant him a pension as a former Acting Governor. This led the court to invalidate the sections of the law providing pensions for former Acting Governors, Speakers, and Deputy Speakers. In response, the House of Assembly amended the law to remove the pension provisions and introduced a "special allowance" for former Speakers and Deputy Speakers. This analysis contends that the bill is unconstitutional and contradictory to the constitution because it exceeds the powers of the House of Assembly to determine their own allowances. Keywords: Nigerian Constitution, State legislatures, Life pensions, Former Acting Governors and Litigation

Construction productivity, LEAN processes and sustainbility
Authors: Krstanoski Magdalena
Published: May 2024

Construction projects timelines, tasks and deliverables are complex milestones that must be met, to deliver the project on time, and under the budget. Performance management is a tool for managers to track projects, and get updates in real time on status, and areas needed for improvements, to keep the project ongoing, and on-track. In today's perspective, society is increasingly demanding that all industry needs to address global environmental impacts, and sustainability goals. Construction industry is not going hand in hand with addressing sustainability challenges on every project, largely because these sustainability goals are seen as cost additive without added value by some stakeholders, looking to meet code requirements only. One of the ways to incorporate new technology and sustainability at the same time is introducing LEAN process in construction. It is integrated and collaborative human centres approach meaning is flexible enough to adapt as technology change and sortal challenges. The new holistic, cohesive, and connected approach in building design, material selection, construction and sustainability, is needed to address these challenges in addition to the project requirements. Productivity is often a challenge. The goal of this research is to develop an awareness and provide bases for developing tools to value and measure correlation and coordination between sustainable aspects, material selection and code compliance, shown as interrelated and dependent process.
Economics and environmental-health risk assessment for sustainable development of the gold mining industry in Nigeria
Authors: Oyeranti Olugboyega
Published: May 2024

Though the gold mining industry potentially generates employment and increases Nigeria's foreign exchange, the crude practices of artisanal miners often exacerbate environmental degradation and health hazards. Hence, humans face health risks when excessively exposed to the heavy metals released during gold mineralization. This study, therefore, adopts a descriptive approach towards suggesting a comprehensive economic evaluation and risk analysis for managing the impact of gold mining industry sustainably and bearing in mind people's health that should equally be managed in a healthy and sustainable manner. A review of existing Environment-Health Risk Assessment (EHRA) studies on gold mining areas in Nigeria reveals that the estimated risk quotients are generally above recommended limits consequent upon inadequate enforcement of mining precautions. This study, therefore, argues that incorporating EHRA studies and considering economic costs and benefits of mining could provide an objective benchmark for managing various estimated health risk quotients and returns from more gold mining. For Nigeria's, harnessing opportunities in the gold mining industry requires interdisciplinary drive that seeks to incorporate environmental-health risks into optimization of gold mining industry. Appropriate policy interventions will be expedient for gold mining industry to be less harmful and not constitute direct threat to sustainable development in Nigeria.

Authors: Vartanova Olena
Published: May 2024

The article substantiates the necessity of forecasting layoffs in the system of ensuring the stability of the company's personnel, especially in the conditions of the war in Ukraine. It has been established that the war in Ukraine significantly disrupted the stability of company personnel: 22% of respondents lost their jobs due to the war, 8% due to company destruction or bankruptcy, and an additional 1% of personnel was relocated. According to the results of an expert survey, the factors that most often lead to personnel dismissals were determined. The structure of predictive analytics for predicting layoffs and preventing staff turnover is defined. Based on the results of the expert survey, predictors were identified that signal probable dismissals and violations of personnel stability. The most important predictors of personnel layoffs are: non-competitive wages; lack of salary growth in accordance with the complexity of the work; excessive staff turnover in general (which indicates employee dissatisfaction); reduction of the general wage fund; increase in working hours. The implementation of social technologies of HR management in order to prevent excessive dismissals and create a positive image of the company on the labour market is proposed.

EBIT - EPS analysis
Authors: Ivaniš Miloš
Published: May 2024

The search for the optimal degree of indebtedness of the company requires the use of several analytical procedures, among which the most attention is paid to the methods of analysis of ratios in the capital structure, such as: EBIT-EPS analysis, coverage coefficients (ratios) and the group of so-called informal methods of ratio analysis in the capital structure of the company. The analysis of financial leverage factors has showed that the growth of indebtedness causes disproportionate variability of operating profit (EBIT) and earnings per share (EPS). Observing these effects, the so-called operating profit - earnings per share analysis (EBIT - EPS analysis) was developed in theory, including analysis of the coverage point or financing indifference, since such analytical procedure can be presented graphically and mathematically. We need two points for the graphic display. We obtain the first by calculating earnings per share (EPS) for a given level of operating profit (EBIT). The second point is the level of operating profit (EBIT) required to cover fixed expenses for various financial alternatives. For a mathematical representation, a tabular calculation or calculation by equations is required. The aim of this paper is to present both ways of analytical procedure of the so-called EBIT-EPS analysis, as well as the method of determining the coverage (indifference) point.

Published: May 2024

Today, risk analysis methods are used to support decisions made regarding risk management and the development of action plans. In practice, the company is looking for a decision support tool. In other words, the method chosen must make it possible to act without the exact extent of the risk concerned necessarily being known. It is then appropriate to set up a sort of sieve funnel which allows all the risks to be understood and only the most significant to be retained. Among these tools, we find cartography. Its objective is to have an overall inventory of vulnerabilities for all fields of activity. This approach is essential because it prompts the general inventory of risks and their evaluation. It gives an overview to decisionmakers to guide their choices. The maps are then used to monitor the effectiveness of the strategies implemented and form a very relevant communication tool on the state of affairs, the objective of our work. Thus, to be able to describe a method of global analysis of risks that companies encounter either of their own doing, or due their environment, called risk mapping. As a case study, we used the Hamma Bouziane cement factory, located in Constantine, Algeria...
Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Van der Gun Luc , Guest Olivia
Published: May 2024

Applications of artificial intelligence (AI) are able to optimise our lives par excellence, and it is clear that this will only increase as time passes. In many ways, this is very promising, but the forms that AI takes in our society have also sparked many concerns about dehumanisation. What is often recognised is that AI systems implicitly exert social power relations—whether intentionally or not, as might be the case with bias—such that the danger would be gone if only we improved our models and uncovered this hidden realm of intentional oppression. However, these views overlook the possibility that detrimental consequences may also arise precisely because AI is able to attain favourable goals flawlessly. This problem of adverse side effects, which are strictly accidental to the goals we set for AI to effectuate, is explored through the notion of “non-intentional dehumanisation”. To articulate this phenomenon, this essay consists of two parts. The first part will establish how naive AI usage presents a paradigmatic case of this problem. In the second part, we will argue that these issues occur in a two-fold fashion; not only does AI risk inducing harm to the “used-upon”, but also to the user. It is with this conceptual model that awareness may be brought to the counter side of our ready acceptance of AI solutions.

The Unbearable Lightness of Interfering with the Right to Privacy

The European Court of Justice has once again ruled on national data retention laws. In La Quadrature du Net II, the full court allowed the indiscriminate retention of IP addresses for the purpose of fighting copyright infringement. It seems that the Court is slowly but surely abandoning its role as guardian of the right to privacy, as it now allows member states to collect vast amounts of data on their citizens in order to solve even the most minor of crimes.
TOPLU YAPILARDA GEÇİCİ YÖNETİM

Published: May 2024

Günümüz şehir yaşantısında toplu yapılar oldukça yaygındır. Bu tür yerlerin inşası tamamlanıp birlikte yaşam başladıktan sonra yönetilmeleri çok önemli bir konudur. Bazen inşaatların bir kısmı bazen tümü tamamlandıktan sonra fiili kullanım başlamaktadır. Her iki halde de kat maliklerinin kendi yönetim organlarını seçmeleri ilk başta pek mümkün değildir. Güvenlik, temizlik, bahçe bakımı, personel istihdamı gibi konular uzmanlığı gerektiren konulardır. Toplu yapıya yeni taşınmış kat maliklerinden birinin bu işleri yürütmesi beklenemez. Uygulamada genellikle inşaatı yapan firmalar veya bunların seçtiği yönetim şirketleri belli bir süreliğine yönetimi üstlenmektedir. Kat Mülkiyeti Kanununda geçici yönetim adı altında bu husus düzenlenmiştir. Adından da anlaşılacağı üzere bu tür yönetim sürekli değil, geçicidir. Geçici yönetimin süresi dolduğunda toplu yapı kat maliklerinin seçeceği organlar tarafından yönetilmelidir. Uygulamada geçici yönetim olarak görev yapan bu yönetimlerin süreleri dolduktan sonra da yöneticiliğe devam ettikleri görülmektedir. Kat malikleri bazen geçici yönetimin görevine devam etmesini istemekle birlikte çoğu zaman geçici yönetim görevi bırakmak istemez. Literatürde bu konu hakkında yeterli çalışma bulunmaması makale konusunun önemini arttırmaktadır. Bu makalenin konusu geçici yönetim kavramını açıklamak ve süresi dolan geçici yönetimlerin görevlerini bırakmadıkları takdirde kat maliklerinin hangi yollara başvurabileceklerini incelemektir.

Esta trabajo académico busca ofrecer alternativas para la enseñanza, mediante la formulación y aplicación de la lotería motriz en la educación básica desde la formación docente en la licenciatura en educación física en la Benemérita Escuela Normal “Manuel Ávila Camacho”, la principal problemática que afecta a los practicantes al momento de introducirlos en sus espacios de intervención, es la baja aceptación y el poco interés mostrado por los alumnos hacia estas estrategias, ya que de algún modo, no existen cambios funcionales y significativos en las estructuras de estos juegos que despierten su curiosidad, por lo que es tarea del educador generar propuestas que sean innovadoras y cambien de manera estructural, más no cultural, la forma en que estos se aplican. Por tal motivo, se optó por ofrecer, aplicar y demostrar alternativas propias en este nuevo proceso formativo y una aplicación pedagógica de innovación en el juego tradicional y ello,  fortalezca, motive y genere interés en el futuro docente, y le permita enriquecer y dar un sentido en el  proceso enseñanza aprendizaje de sus educandos en el camino de sus  prácticas profesionales.
HZ. ALİ’YE NİSPET EDİLEN KADİM BİR MUSHAF: TİEM 458
Authors: Cankurt Fatih
Published: May 2024

Başta İslâm coğrafyası olmak üzere birçok ülkede, erken dönemlere ait mushaflar
mevcuttur. Bunların arasında üçüncü halife Hz. Osman’a nispet edilenler çoğunluğu teşkil
etmekle birlikte dördüncü halife Hz. Ali’ye ait olduğu iddia edilen mushaflar da bulunmaktadır.
Halifeliği döneminde mushafların istinsahı işlemine riyaset etmesi ve çoğaltılan mushaflardan
birini kendi yanında bıraktığına dair bilgiler dikkate alındığında Hz. Osman’a ait bir mushafın
varlığına dair ihtimal makul görülebilir. Buna karşın Hz. Ali’nin günümüze ulaşan bir mushafı
olduğuna dair iddiada bulunulması ise birçok soru işaretini beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu
çalışmada Hz. Ali’ye nispet edilen mushaflardan biri, Türk ve İslâm Eserleri Müzesi 458
envanter numaralı mushaf incelenmektedir. Mushaf, Hz. Ali’ye aidiyetini tespit yanında
şekilsel, tarihsel özelikleri itibariyle de tahlil edilmektedir. Zira erken dönem mushaflar, hangi
tarihlerde vücut bulduğu bilgisiyle birlikte hattı, tezhibi, sûre başı bilgileri, ayet sonu işaretleri,
tahmis-ta‘şîr işaretleri gibi pek çok önemli veri ihtiva edebilmektedir. Bunun yanında kıraat ve
resmü’l-mushaf ilmine dair mevcut bilgilerin mushafta ne derece dikkate alındığı da bu alanlar
açısından kayda değer bilgilere ulaşmayı mümkün kılabilmektedir. Kıraat ve resm-i mushaf
yönü ayrıca ve kapsamlı bir çalışmanın konusu edileceği için TİEM 458 numaralı Mushaf,
şekilsel özellikleri, imla edildiği tarih ve Hz. Ali’ye nispeti yönüyle bu araştırmada tahkik
edilmektedir. Buna göre, TİEM 458’in kûfî hatla yazıldığı, sonrasında irabı tayin, harfleri tefrik
için noktalar konulduğu görülebilmektedir. Tezhip unsurları açısından da oldukça yeterli
olduğu görülen mushafın tüm hususiyetleri dikkate alınarak hicrî ikinci asrın ortalarında imla
edildiği kanaati ortaya çıkmıştır. Bunun yanında hem mevcut hususiyetleri hem de imla edildiği
tarih itibariyle Mushaf’ın, Hz. Ali’ye nispet edilebilmesinin imkan dışı olduğu görülmüştür
