How well do multiagency initiatives serve women experiencing domestic violence?
Authors: Neale Jo , Moody Jenny ,   Chair of Luton Women’s Aid
Published: November 2024

‘Research in the 1970s and 1980s revealed inadequate domestic violence services, and widespread dissatisfaction among women and children attempting to access these services. Resulting pressure from the refuge movement and changes in public attitudes led to the idea of setting up domestic violence initiatives specifically to co-ordinate provision and to promote goodpractice and, in the late 1980s, the first experimental multi-agency projects were established.’ (Hague, 2000)

Change That Lasts: A new response to domestic violence

Women’s Aid has developed a new model of response to domestic violence and abuse (DVA) in consultation with domestic violence survivors and service providers. Dominant paradigms to domestic violence, in the UK, centre on the identification, prediction, and management of risk. Criticisms levelled at this dominant response are largely focused on the risk-assessment tools themselves and include issues relating to reliability and validity, problems with interpretation and measurement, and an over-emphasis on physical violence over and above coercion or emotional abuse. In relation to the practice of risk-management, Dutton and Kropp (2000, p.179) suggest that if, ‘Improperly applied, it can mislead the courts, victims, and offenders into falsely believing in an infallible science that does not yet exist.’ Further, they maintain that ‘There exists no single assessment instrument that would infallibly predict recidivist domestic violence and there never will be’ (Dutton & Kropp, 2000, p.178). In a similar vein, Weisz, Tolman and Saunders (2000, p.87), propose that the potential for the misuse of risk-assessment instruments might be minimised if assessors were to take account of survivors’ own predictions about the recurrence of violence, which they found were often accurate. The Women’s Aid ‘Change That Lasts’ model proposes a departure from risk-management, and incorporates a series of adaptations to existing approaches aimed at improving community awareness and responses to DVA, and an enhanced system of assessment based on survivors’ strengths and resiliencies (rather than deficits and pathologies). In addition, ‘Change That Lasts’ calls for a recognition of the knowledge, experience and specialism that domestic violence providers are able to offer in the response to DVA, and emphasises the need for these providers to be reinstated with the power to enable them to work with complex cases which might otherwise be deemed ‘intractable’ in the care of less specialised agencies. Polly Neate, Chief Executive of Women’s Aid, discusses the model further.
Empowering Teachers in Schools with Basic Counseling Skills
Authors: R Verma
Published: November 2024

Mental disorders are behavioral or psychological syndromes or patterns manifesting in individuals, indicating an underlying psychobiological
dysfunction. The rising prevalence of mental disorders among children and adolescents is a significant public health issue, as a newly introduced
lifespan approach stresses that childhood mental health issues lie on the developmental continuum and can manifest at different stages of life as
severe mental health disorders. To assist the public health system in fulfilling this burgeoning and alarming need, in the last two decades, schools
have moved towards achieving the goal of a health education system wherein student well-being and academic output are supported hand in hand.
School-based interventions are sought to improve mental health literacy and reduce stigma, which can prevent these disorders and promote wellbeing. The main rationale of the current review article is as follows. One in eight children and young people aged 5 to 19 years have at least one
mental disorder. Research shows that high demand has caused a shortage of qualified school psychologists and counselors. Hence, there is a need
for teachers to support the mental health team. It is seen that with the advantage of their direct contact with students, they can effectively support
student wellbeing along with academic output. Also, there is a need for interventions to reduce stigma and increase mental health literacy. This may
facilitate help-seeking and the use of mental health services by young people. Among other rationales are: it is seen that school-based interventions
carried out by professionals in a school other than mental health professionals can prevent the onset of mental health issues by supporting students
in dealing with minor mental health issues, improving mental health literacy, and reducing stigma. Hence, this review discusses and posits equipping
teachers with basic counseling skills as a valuable strategy and methodology of intervention in school mental health programs

O milho é uma cultura de grande importância socioeconômica utilizado na alimentação animal. O Brasil é o terceiro maior produtor do grão, e possui lavouras em diversas regiões. Em Sergipe, a cultura é bastante explorada, porém, algumas regiões possuem dificuldades em obter bons resultados na produtividade do grão, a escolha da cultivar correta reduz as perdas. Assim, o objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar as características de híbridos de milho para grãos no Semiárido Sergipano quanto a sua produtividade e biometria. O experimento ocorreu no lote 2N-01, do Setor 3, do Perímetro Irrigado Califórnia, localizado no município de Canindé de São Francisco, sob delineamento em blocos ao acaso, com treze tratamentos e quatro repetições. Os tratamentos foram doze híbridos de milho, e uma variedade de polinização livre. Após a maturação fisiológica, as características avaliadas foram: altura da planta até o pendão, diâmetro do caule, altura de inserção da espiga, comprimento da espiga, diâmetro da espiga, número de fileiras de grãos, massa de grãos por espiga, massa de 100 grãos e produtividade de grãos. O híbrido K7510 apresentou melhor resultado para altura da planta até o pendão. Para altura de inserção de espiga formaram-se dois grupos. Os híbridos K7500 VIP3 e BM3066 PRO2 se destacaram na variável diâmetro de espiga. Para número de fileiras de grãos, destacou-se o híbrido BM990 VIP3. Em relação ao peso de cem grãos, a maioria dos híbridos formaram um grupo com melhor desempenho e, para a produtividade, apenas a variedade de polinização livre apresentou média muito abaixo das demais cultivares.
Boosting Efficiency: How Bancassurance Transforms Insurance Cost Dynamics
Authors: Kim Hyojin , Kwak Youngsik , Lee Sukho , Dania Akash
Published: November 2024

This paper examines whether the bancassurance has attributed to enhancing the cost efficiency of insurance firms, which was the main purpose of the scheme in the first place. In particular, the goal of this paper is to revisit and reverify the results of existing studies that applied the DEA method to estimate the bancassurance effect, by employing additional analysis methods. Although there were some differences in the levels of efficiency each calculated by the three methods, the cost efficiency of life insurers has generally improved since the introduction of bancassurance according not only to the DEA model but most of the other models. Both comparative analysis and multiple regression analysis also support and confirm the results.

Published: November 2024

This research aims to analyze the Islamic education policy in implementing the Madrasah Islamic curriculum in the Islamic boarding school environment. The main focus of the research is to analyze the early education gap, adaptive early education curriculum, obstacles to early curriculum development and sustainable early education models. A qualitative approach is used with the case study method. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews, observation, and review of related documents. The research results show that there is a gap between the early education policy and the needs of traditional Islamic boarding schools, especially in maintaining local characteristics such as the yellow book curriculum. Islamic boarding schools face challenges in infrastructure, funding and human resource training, which hinder curriculum innovation. Manbaul Ulum Islamic Boarding School has combined religious values ??with modern skills, despite being constrained by technology and resources. This research proposes a sustainable, technology-based model of early education, teacher training, and collaboration with the business world to produce adaptive and relevant graduates without losing Islamic identity.
Major clinical approaches in the treatment of chronic pain through cognitive-behavioral and lifestyle therapy: a systematic review
Authors: Silva Jéssica de Mauro Lobato , Prates Camila Aguilar
Published: November 2024

Introduction: It is estimated that millions of people worldwide suffer from chronic pain, which is a condition influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors and optimally managed by treatments that address not only its biological causes but also its psychological and social influences and consequences. Over the past 60 years, parallel advances in the scientific understanding of pain and the development of cognitive and behavioral therapies have led to the widespread application of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to chronic pain problems. Objective: This was to conduct a systematic review to demonstrate, through randomized clinical trials and meta-analyses, the real impact of treating chronic pain through cognitive-behavioral therapy. Methods: The systematic review rules of the PRISMA Platform were followed. The search was conducted from August to September 2024 in the Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 84 articles were found. 21 articles were evaluated and 07 were included in this systematic review. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 29 studies with a high risk of bias and 22 studies that did not meet GRADE. Most studies presented homogeneity in their results, with X2= 88.7% >50%. It was concluded that the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy for individuals with chronic pain has been evaluated in randomized clinical trials for more than three decades, mainly in adults with chronic back pain, headaches, orofacial pain, or arthritis-related pain. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is the “gold standard” psychological treatment for individuals with a wide range of pain problems. The effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy in reducing pain, distress, pain interference with activities, and disability has been established in systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Although the average effect sizes are small to moderate across all pain outcomes, CBT does not have the risks associated with chronic pain medications, surgeries, and interventional procedures. Furthermore, CBT may well have benefits for common comorbid conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Research is needed to develop CBT interventions that have stronger beneficial effects, with attention to whether tailoring therapy to specific patient subgroups or problems improves outcomes.
Major observations of root canal instrument fractures and techniques for treatment and removal of endodontic instrument fragments: a systematic review
Authors: Favaro Helena , Castro Halana Boni Condessa Linhares de , Castro Fábio Pereira Linhares de
Published: November 2024

Introduction: In the context of root canal endodontic treatments, fracture of instruments in the root canal during canal shaping is reported as one of the most common reasons for a negative prognosis. Nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) instruments stand out. However, Ni-Ti instruments can fracture, with a prevalence of approximately 1.6% (0.7-7.4%). Special techniques to retrieve obstructing objects, such as ultrasonic instruments, hollow tubes with cyanoacrylate adhesive, trepanation techniques using an ultrasonic tip or a trepan bur, endo-extractors and welding with neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-perovskite (Nd: YAG) laser, and surgical techniques have been proposed. Objective: It was to develop a systematic review of the endodontic literature to externalize and discuss the main observations of fractures of root canal instruments, as well as to show the main techniques for treatment and removal of fragments of endodontic instruments. Methods: The PRISMA Platform systematic review rules were followed. The search was carried out from June to August 2024 in the Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: 93 articles were found, 34 articles were evaluated and 08 were included in this systematic review. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the global assessment resulted in 32 studies with a high risk of bias and 27 studies that did not meet GRADE and AMSTAR-2. Most studies showed homogeneity in their results, with X2 =89.5% >50%. It was concluded that comprehensive cleaning of the root canal system is often impossible in the presence of a broken instrument. No consensus has been reached on a safe technique with a high success rate for removing broken instruments. Fracture of nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) instruments during root canal instrumentation leads to compromised results in endodontic treatments. Thus, irradiation for a clinical procedure involving the use of a Neodymium: Yttrium-Aluminum-Perovskite (Nd: YAP) laser has shown good performance for removing fractured nickel-titanium files. Thus, fractured instruments can be removed by a variety of methods, such as good ultrasonic tips, microtubule devices, and hemostatic pliers/forceps. These techniques require qualified use of the operating microscope. Removing a fractured file is associated with considerable risk, and therefore the fragment must be circumvented. Removing fractured instruments can be expensive in terms of time and equipment. Thus, a cost-benefit analysis of the treatment must be considered before selecting a definitive therapy for the patient.
Blockchain-based Device Authentication in Edge Computing using Quantum Approach
Authors: Telsang Vinayak , Kakkasageri Mahabaleshwar , Devangavi Anil
Published: November 2024

The Internet of things (IoT) is emerged as a new technology where everything is connected. Large amount of data need to be stored for processing; hence, edge computing can reduce the storage of data in a distributed environment, which enhances processing speed and low usage of bandwidth. With an ever increasing use of IoT devices, issues such as authentication of devices, privacy of data stored, and integrity of data have also increased. The authentication of devices is a major concern for edge-connected IoT devices. The problem was solved by using classical cryptographic algorithms such as Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA), and Diffie-Hellman (DH) for message encryption by using public and private keys that need to be stored. These keys need to be stored on a server for device authentication. In device authentication, storing many keys leads to more computation and storage costs and also increase in delay. With quantum computing and quantum algorithms such as Shor’s and Grover’s, it becomes easy to break the keys of cryptographic algorithms, making the system vulnerable. The proposed work Blockchain based Device Authentication in Edge Computing using Quantum Approach
(BDAEC-QA) provides authentication for IoT devices using it’s context information, quantum key distribution (QKD) and blockchain. The proposed scheme uses the smart contracts to store an information of the IoT devices on the server side, which is used by blockchain to provide secure authentication between the edge server and the IoT devices. The proposed scheme also provides communication between IoT devices across the network. The proposed work is compared with “Lightweight Two-Factor-Based User Authentication Protocol for IoT-Enabled Healthcare Ecosystem in Quantum Computing" (LTBA), and “A Blockchain-Based Mutual Authentication Scheme for Collaborative Edge Computing" (BBMA), and has less registration, key generation and authentication delay respectively. The BDAEC-QA scheme uses less
computation and storage costs as compared with other existing schemes. The proposed scheme is simulated using the AVISPA tool, to provide the security proofs and analysis that indicate BDAEC-QA scheme is resistant to well-known attacks.

Sian Participation Corp (In Liquidation) V. Halimeda International Ltd (Virgin Islands): Common Law Harmony in Insolvency?
Authors: Budihal Pranav
Published: November 2024

Differing insolvency regimes across jurisdictions have a very real effect on the conduct of international arbitration proceedings. Apart from sprouting parallel litigation, all-encompassing moratoriums and the threat of guerilla tactics, the arbitration itself may see increased costs, time and enforceability issues. The relevance of international arbitration in the event an insolvency of a party becomes crucially important in a world where arbitration remains as the most widely used mode for resolving cross border disputes. The interaction between insolvency and arbitration in England and Wales, and the BVI were recently harmonized by the UK Privy Council its decision in Sian Participation Corp (In Liquidation) v. Halimeda International Ltd (Virgin Islands). This article shows that the Sian standard aligns to some extent with the Indian treatment of insolvency and arbitration. First, the article provides an overview of the current insolvency regime under the Indian Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. Second, it examines the case law interpretations of the IBC in context of an arbitration. Third, it concludes by tracing the similarities in the treatment of arbitration in context of an insolvency in these major common law jurisdictions, and the benefits that may accrue from such harmony.
Salford Estates Test in Malaysia: the Final Blow?
Authors: Mei Li Emily Ho , Will Sen Kwan
Published: November 2024

The insolvency regime comes face-to-face with the arbitration regime in cases where a debt is disputed but is subject to an arbitration agreement. In such cases, Malaysian courts have previously followed the English position in Salford Estates (No 2) Ltd v. Altomart Ltd (No 2), namely, that a court should not order the liquidation so long as the disputed debt is ‘prima facie’ disputed. The Privy Council’s decision in Sian Participation Corp (In Liquidation) v. Halimeda International Ltd has now rejected the Salford Estates test and imposed a higher threshold, namely, that the debt must be disputed on genuine and substantial grounds as demonstrated by the debtor. Fortuitously, just two weeks prior to Sian, the Malaysian Court of Appeal had also rejected the Salford Estates position and imposed the higher threshold of a bona fide dispute on substantial grounds. The Privy Council’s decision in Sian is thus now the final blow to the Salford Estates test in Malaysia. Further, the astute reasoning of the panel in Sian will helpfully inform future judicial deliberations on the interaction between the domestic insolvency and arbitration regimes.
The Hong Kong and English Approaches to Arbitrable Petition Debts After Sian Participation: Diametrically Opposed or Fundamentally Similar?
Authors: Ho Justin , Tang Danny
Published: November 2024

The English and Hong Kong courts’ respective approaches to winding-up petitions where a dispute as to the alleged petition debt falls within the scope of an exclusive jurisdiction or arbitration clause seem to have diverged following the decision of the Privy Council in Sian Participation. The English courts have reverted to the traditional approach of examining whether there is a bona fide dispute as to the petition debt, whereas the Hong Kong courts adopt an approach whereby the winding- up petition is to be dismissed in favour of determination in the agreed forum unless the debtor’s defence borders on the frivolous or abuse of process. This article considers the development of Hong Kong law on this point, and examines the extent to which the two approaches may lead to different results. Finally, it suggests that there may be good reasons for adopting Sian Participation in Hong Kong, even though this seems unlikely in the near future.
Arbitration and the Rule of Law: Preserving, Protecting and Proportionality
Authors: Ngo Steve
Published: November 2024

The importance of international commercial arbitration today cannot be overstressed. Arbitration offers parties in cross-border disputes a neutral and private forum to resolve their disputes, therefore avoiding potentially partisan or inefficient court litigation systems. In arbitration, laws and rules may be drawn from a variety of sources, such as national laws, international treaties, and institutional rules which are based on the principle of the rule of law and are intended to ensure a fair and just conduct of dispute resolution. This thesis will discuss the importance of the rule of law in arbitration, evaluating how arbitration already defends the rule of law and some thoughts about balancing the rule of law in arbitration to avoid an antithetical outcome.

Recent Amendment of Japanese Arbitration Law: A Bright Future Waiting for Japan?
Authors: Nishioka Kazuaki
Published: November 2024

With its 2023 Amendment, Japanese arbitration law has caught up with the global standard by primarily following the 2006 UNCITRAL Model Law. It is now clear what types of interim measures an arbitral tribunal seated in Japan may grant and under what circumstances it may do so. It is likewise now clear that orders for interim measures by arbitral tribunals will be enforceable in Japan. It is notable that, in certain circumstances, a Japanese court may grant a penalty payment order to enforce an arbitral tribunal’s order for interim measures. Undoubtedly, the amendment improves the effectiveness of international commercial arbitration in Japan. However, the means of enforcing interim measures issued by arbitral tribunals under Japanese law are limited. Arbitration users are, therefore, welladvised to consider seeking supporting measures from a national court. The 2023 Amendment will make Japan more attractive as a seat of arbitration. With the present reforms, Japanese arbitration stands a better chance of meeting the challenges of becoming a preferred arbitration seat in the face of stiff competition from other jurisdictions.
Droit français : qu’est-ce que le « retrait litigieux » et quand peut-il jouer en matière d’arbitrage ?
Authors: Julienne Maxime
Published: November 2024

The French Law of Obligations features an institution unknown to many other laws, but of direct relevance to arbitration: the “retrait litigieux” (literally “litigious withdrawal”). Provided for in Article 1699 of the French Civil Code, this mechanism comes into play when a disputed claim is the subject of an onerous assignment to a third party. The debtor then has a choice: to continue the proceedings in the hope of not being condemned, or to free himself by paying the assignee, not the amount of the claim, but the price of the assignment (which in practice is always lower). Initially conceived in the perspective of a trial before a national court, “retrait litigieux” also applies to international arbitration. This poses a number of practical difficulties: what is the applicable law? Which court has jurisdiction? Does the claim remain “litigious” as long as the award has not been granted exequatur? Two recent rulings by the French Supreme Court (Cour de cassation) shed some light on these questions, without however exhausting them completely.
The Digital Markets Act: A partial solution to antitrust’s remedy problem
Authors: Bostoen Friso , Vanwamel David
Published: November 2024

Antitrust remedies in digital markets have shown little effectiveness. The Digital Markets Act (DMA) offers a partial solution by establishing a multi-level remedial pyramid that addresses several of the challenges the Commission faced when remedying antitrust infringements. At the base of this pyramid are the DMA’s obligations, which embed ex ante remedies that are faster and more prescriptive than antitrust remedies. The second level consists of regulatory dialogue, an open and iterative specification procedure that can mitigate information asymmetries and future-proof remedies. The third level is the non-compliance procedure, which complements the regulatory dialogue. At the pyramid’s apex is the systematic non-compliance procedure. It empowers the Commission to impose ex post remedies, which can be more forceful than their EU competition law counterparts. Although the DMA enhances the Commission’s remedial process and powers compared to EU competition law, it is crucial for the Commission to exercise its authority judiciously. The Commission’s focus should be on the intermediate layers of the remedial pyramid, particularly the regulatory dialogue.
The Case-Law of the Court of Justice of the EU on How to Respect the National Identities of the Member States Pursuant to Article 4(2) TEU
Authors: Popov Athanase
Published: November 2024

Just as the national legal framework of each Member State of the EU should allow the possibility that a child’s same sex parents be recognized as such, the obligation, if any, to teach a curriculum exclusively in the official language of the state at issue should disappear given that multilingualism is a fundamental value of the EU pursuant to Article 3(3), fourth indent, TEU. Neither respect for Member States’ national identities pursuant to Article 4(2) TEU nor the principle of proportionality alter that conclusion. The author believes that respect for the national identities of the Member States of the EU should in no way whatsoever limit the primacy (supremacy) of EU law, contrary to the stance of certain legal scholars. The case-law of the Court of Justice of the EU is slightly ambiguous in that respect. The same goes for that of the European Court of Human Rights, which accepts in certain circumstances protection of constitutional identity as a legitimate aim for differential treatment.

Review of Defect Detection Methods for Thin-Walled Parts Based on Point Cloud Data Processing
Authors: Cao Yuan , Jiang Yongxiang , Hong Chaofan , Guo Yanxi , Xu Yuanlong , Li Jiayi
Published: November 2024

Thin-walled parts are widely used in various fields of industrial production, but their inherent characteristics, such as low stiffness and susceptibility to deformation, make them prone to various defects during use. Thin-walled covering parts, which serve as thin shells or covers to protect other components, are extensively utilized in aerospace, automotive, and shipbuilding industries. The condition of these parts is directly related to the structural integrity, performance stability, and operational safety of the associated components and equipment. Due to their direct exposure to external environments, thin-walled covering parts are vulnerable to damage. Traditional defect detection methods, such as manual visual inspection and 2D imaging, have limitations in addressing these challenges. To improve the speed and accuracy of damage detection in thin-walled covering parts, this paper proposes a defect detection method based on point cloud data processing. This approach involves collecting point cloud data of the thin-walled parts, applying preprocessing techniques to remove noise, and utilizing feature extraction and machine learning algorithms to achieve automatic detection and classification of defects. The research results demonstrate that this method offers high accuracy and efficiency, effectively meeting the quality inspection needs for thin-walled parts in industrial production.

Joy is an important element in every authentic letter of Saint Paul. This article focuses on the analysis of the theme of joy and its theological message in the Epistle to the Romans in which joy is a rather neglected subject. The terminology of the joy (forms of the Greek substantive χαρά and of the verb χαίρω) occurs seven times in the Romans. The article pays attention to the exegesis of each of these terms in their immediate context. On the basis of exegesis, inherent characteristics of joy can be found in the epistle: joy is in a close relationship to hope, to love, to peace and to God´s will. This joy originates from the Holy Spirit. Last but not least, this joy is one of the characteristics of a good life and of the kingdom of God.

Environmental safety - both terms safety and environment belong to the most widely used terms in the social sciences. The 21st century is a period of rapid development of science and technology, progress, and prosperity of society. However, it is also a time with all kinds of problems. Environmental protection has become one of the most important issues of society. The production of clothes is a complicated process, involving many steps and causing a lot of environmental pollution. Keeping textile and clothing waste out of landfills should be a priority. It is necessary to move from a linear to a more circular system that gives value to recycled goods. The aim of the contribution is the analysis of the legislative and substantive framework of the current state of textile waste management in Slovakia. We will propose a method of recycling textile waste in the production of clothes from non-flammable materials and its use. Based on the information obtained, we will define the main shortcomings of the waste management system of the textile and clothing industry in Slovakia.

Leaf vegetables can accumulate nitrate. Too much nitrate consumption is harmful to human. The objective of this research is to study nitrate accumulation in three salad vegetable varieties; green oak, red oak and cos, in hydroponic farms under close and open systems during winter and summer. Solution fertilizer factors; electrical conductivity (EC), pH and nitrate concentration in fertilizer were examined and weather condition factors; temperature, humidity and light intensity were recorded. The result shows that 36-day cos had a highest nitrate accumulation of 2,342.6 mg/kg FW under close system in summer and red oak and green oak in open system in summer (1,985.6 and 1,879.0 mg/kg FW, respectively). Factors affecting nitrate accumulation in vegetables were analyzed by using stepwise regression analysis. In winter, the factors affecting nitrate accumulation in green oak, red oak and cos were sample collecting date, age, pH, greenhouse system, fresh weight and EC value. The stepwise equations were able to predict nitrate accumulation in green oak, red oak, and cos correctly 80, 89 and 77%, respectively. In summer, the factors affecting nitrate accumulation in green oak are humidity and pH value. The equations can predict as correctly as 70%. In conclusion, adjustment of pH (5.5-7.0), humidity (63-74%), and decrease of adding fertilizer on a-week pre-harvesting period could reduce nitrate accumulation in vegetables.

This study investigates how the teacher used scaffolding strategies in teaching pre-numeracy skills (seriation skills, pattern generating skills and understanding consistency) among preschool children in an inclusive education setting. The study also explored challenges faced by the teacher while teaching and how she overcame them. The qualitative study used observations and semi-structured interview questions to collect the data. Purposive sampling was used to choose five preschool children and a pre-school teacher from a private school in Selangor as sample of the study. Two instruments were used to collect the data namely observation checklist and semi-structured interview questions. The researchers did six classroom observations to collect the qualitative data on how the teacher used the scaffolding strategies to teach the pre-numeracy skills (seriation skills, pattern-generating skills, and understanding consistency). The researchers also conducted face-to-face interviews with the teacher on the challenges faced by her while teaching and how she solved them. Results from the observations indicated that the teacher used various scaffolding strategies to enhance the children’s pre-numeracy skills namely seriation skills, pattern generating skills, and understanding consistency. In addition, the children’s performance improved when the teacher used the scaffolding strategies. The teacher also faced many challenges while teaching namely children get confused, the teacher has to be patient and cool, children not paying attention, lesson preparation and getting suitable materials. This study has crucial pedagogical implications because it sheds some light on how to use the scaffolding strategies in teaching pre-numeracy skills in an inclusive education setting.

Workload and job insecurity are two main factors that support each other and influence stress that occurs in employees. A workload that is too high can make employees feel stressed and overwhelmed. This can cause stress both physically and mentally plus feelings of insecurity at work. The aim of this research is to analyze the influence of workload and job insecurity on work stress among employees at PT. Intidragon Suryatama Mojokerto. The research design used correlational analytic with a cross sectional approach. The total population was 2500 respondents, a sample of 97 respondents was taken using random sampling techniques. The measuring tool used questionnaire, the results are processed through the stages of editing, coding, scoring, tabulating and analyzed by using the Spearman Rho test. The research results showed that there was no influence of workload on job stress (pvalue= 0.50), there was an influence of job insecurity on job stress (pvalue=0.036). The higher the level of job insecurity, the higher the level of work stress, conversely, the higher the workload does not guarantee that the work stress felt by employees will be higher

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that results from prolonged malnutrition. It is also considered a malnutrition status not only due to the height of the parents but also because of various socio-economic and demographic factors. These factors include family sizes, birth spacing of children, family socio-economic status, parental education levels, parental occupations, and specific nutritional interventions, such as Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (IMD), iron and folic acid supplementation (TTD), exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding (MP ASI), and immunization. This research aimed to analyze the influence of socio-economic demographic characteristics and specific nutritional interventions on families with stunted toddlers in the working area of the Jambula Community Health Center. The study employed an analytical survey design, with total sampling (non-probability sampling) involving a population of stunted toddlers. The results of this research showed the following associations between socio-economic demographic characteristics and stunting: number of family members (OR = 0.842, p = 0.043 < 0.05), birth spacing (OR = 9.3, p = 0.013 < 0.05), family socioeconomic status (OR = 11.8, p = 0.045 < 0.05), father’s education (OR = 0.49, p = 0.445 > 0.05), mother’s education (OR = 1.0, p = 0.979 > 0.05), and parental occupation (OR = 0.324, p = 0.11 > 0.05). Regarding specific nutritional interventions, significant factors were Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (IMD) (OR = 0.76, p = 0.024 < 0.05), iron and folic acid supplementation (TTD) (OR = 5.9, p = 0.02 < 0.05), exclusive breastfeeding (OR = 0.6, p = 0.015 < 0.05), complementary feeding (MP ASI) (OR = 0.678, p = 0.039 < 0.05), and immunization (OR = 1.6, p = 0.016 < 0.05). In conclusion, factors that significantly influence the incidence of stunting in toddlers in the Jambula Health Center working area include the number of family members, birth spacing, family socio-economic status, Early Initiation of Breastfeeding, iron and folic acid supplementation, exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding, and immunization
