Abstract:

In this life, you need a leader to lead, guide and manage life because a leader is considered someone who can do these things. Leadership is a classic topic of discussion, but it is still very interesting to study because it determines the continuity of an organization. Leadership is essentially accountability, so a leader must understand the concepts and theories of leadership itself. From this, the purpose of this article research is to understand the concepts and theories of leadership. The type of research used is library research. The data collection technique uses documentation, which is a way to obtain data and information in the form of books and journal documents that can support research. The results of this research study show that the concept of leadership in Islam is identical to the term khalifa which means representative. Besides the caliph is also called Ulil Amri, which means the highest leader in Islamic society. In Islam, a person who becomes a leader must meet six requirements, namely: having strength, trustworthiness, the conscientiousness of conscience, being professional, not taking opportunities, and placing the most suitable and appropriate person. Thus, according to Islam, the ideal leader is fair, trustworthy, fathonah, shiddiq, qona'ah, siyasah, and patient. To be a leader, of course, it is not easy; there must be concepts and theories of leadership that are understood to be able to carry out their duties and have an impact on the surrounding environment. Therefore, it is important to understand the concepts and theories of leadership in life to be able to become a responsible leader and protect its members.

Published: January 2023

The transfer of accountability (TOA) for a patient from one nurse to another at change of shift is an important opportunity to exchange essential patient care information, as well as to enhance the safety and quality of patient care. This study was undertaken to explore nurses’, patients’ and family members’ perceptions associated with the implementation of bedside nurse to nurse TOA. Focus groups were conducted pre-implementation (two with nurses and two with patients and family members) and post-implementation (six with nurses and two with patients and family members). The focus groups were audio-recorded, transcribed and analysed using directed content analysis. Findings were divided into positive outcomes and challenges to bedside nurse to nurse TOA. Positive outcomes included increased patient safety, more informed patients more consistent use of whiteboards in the patient rooms, better engagement with family via the whiteboard and increased family involvement, confirmation of information between nurses, increased accountability between nurses, and personal introduction/icebreaker of the new nurse. The inclusion of the Patient Partners on the project team was a key success factor for the project. Challenges included a perception of lengthened time required for TOA and increased workload, lack of privacy and potential breaches of confidentiality, patient fear and lack of comprehension, lack of clarity in TOA processes, and inconsistent application of the procedures. Hospital administrators and nurse leaders can use these findings to anticipate and understand change associated with bedside TOA as seen by both nurses and patients/families.

Interprofessional Care: Patient Experience Stories
Authors: Metersky Kateryna , Schwind Jasna
Published: January 2023

Interprofessional care (IPC) has been discussed in the literature as having the ability to lower health care expenditures, decrease wait times, enhance patient health outcomes and increase healthcare provider (HCP) satisfaction with care-delivery. To date, limited research has been conducted on patients’ experiences of receiving IPC. Using Connelly and Clandinin’s Narrative Inquiry qualitative research approach, three participants were invited to engage in a modified version of Schwind’s Narrative Reflective Process, a creative self-expression tool that utilizes storytelling, metaphor selection, drawing, creative writing and reflective dialogue. Participants shared their stories, and selected and drew metaphors that best represent for them their experiences of receiving IPC. They were also asked whether or not they believe person-centered care was delivered to them. Collected stories were analyzed as per the three common places of Narrative Inquiry: temporality, sociality and place, as well as the three levels of justification: personal, practical and social. Told stories were examined through the theoretical lens of the National Canadian Interprofessional Competency Framework. Three narrative threads emerged within this study: communication, interprofessional team composition, and patient within interprofessional team. The findings appear helpful to inform educators, HCP, policy makers, and researchers, as they strive to enhance person-centered interprofessional care practice. For patients, a clear opportunity for their voices to be heard has been outlined.
Patient roles within interprofessional collaborative patient-centred care teams: The patient and health care provider perspectives
Authors: Metersky Kateryna
Published: January 2023

With current rapid expansions to medical knowledge and technology and rising chronicity of diseases, health care providers are increasingly called upon to work together within interprofessional teams to provide the most comprehensive care to their patients. Interprofessional teams have been depicted as enhancing patient health outcomes and increasing patient satisfaction with care, while decreasing health care spending and wait times for receiving care. However, there is little evidence on how to collaboratively include patients in these teams. The study’s purpose was to construct a framework on the conditions and processes required for patients to assume active participant roles in their care within primary care interprofessional teams. Charmaz’s Constructivist Grounded Theory approach was used. Ten patients and 10 health care providers from two Family Health Teams in Southwestern Ontario, Canada participated in individual semi-structured interviews to learn about their perspectives on patient roles in teams. Data collection and analysis including memoing, coding and constant comparative analysis were used to generate theoretical concepts of the framework. Memberchecking interviews occurred to provide final feedback on the framework. The framework entitled: “Patients on Interprofessional Teams in Primary Care: A Framework for Teamwork” presents three main concepts: (1) patient roles; (2) processes; and (3) conditions. The patient roles concept comprises three sub-concepts with each having two categories/descriptors: (1) expert of own health – expressive and advisor; (2) (co)decision-maker – active voice and trusting; and (3) self-manager – advocate and evaluator of care. The processes concept presents five sub-concepts: (1) explain; (2) identify; (3) educate; (4) build; and (5) collaborate. The conditions concept outlines four sub-concepts: (1) flexibility; (2) time; (3) willingness; and (4) readiness. This study presents a comprehensive framework for patient-health care provider iii interactions within primary care interprofessional teams, including dimensions of and more clarity about three types of roles patients can assume within these teams. This study also offers an understanding of the conditions and processes health care providers adopt in practice towards patient inclusion on these teams. Further research should utilize this framework to continue to build knowledge of patient roles on interprofessional teams within a multitude of health care settings and populations.

Learning how buildings work is crucial to better green design
Authors: Gorgolewski Mark
Published: January 2023

Building designers need far better feedback on how well their buildings work. Existing buildings offer a wealth of opportunities for designers to learn, and to improve future designs. A more comprehensive understanding of bow existing buildings develop and change over time, and meet, or fail to meet, user expectations offers designers the opportunity to learn from existing buildings. Also, feedback loops are needed to ensure that designers learn lessons from built projects and apply them to future designs.

In addition, there is a particular need to understand whether claimed "green buildings" really do meet the needs of occupants and reduce their environmental impacts. Assessing, real building performance from both a technical and social perspective is one way of both raising the profile of issues that are important to building occupants, and of improving understanding of real building performance.

Several new mechanisms have been proposed in recent years that offer the opportunity to re-establish some of the missing feedback mechanisms for designers. These can provide direct information on the performance of their designs potentially leading to better performing buildings en viron mentally, economically and socially. This can minimise problems and utilise those design features that work successfully, applying the laws of survival of the fittest. This paper reviews some of the recent initiatives to establish better feedback mechanisms.
Drunken Language, Elliptical Politics: Caryl Churchill’s Oblique Protest Theatre
Authors: Jones Matt
Published: January 2023

Can “political theatre” exist in today’s political climate? In the last few decades, our understanding of politics and theatre has undermined the basis on which prior generations of artists conceived of both politics and theatre. Caryl Churchill’s Drunk Enough to Say I Love You? sits at the intersection of critiques of dramatic theatre and new forms of post-dramatic, non-representational performance. The play tells the story of a man, Guy, who falls in love with a country, Sam, and critics have largely seen the play as an allegory for the “special relationship” between Britain and the United States. But while the play riffs on that metaphor, it also includes aspects that work against a political reading. Churchill’s depiction of the relationship as a sincere gay love affair raises questions about what it means to say that politicians are “in bed together.” As the play develops, the political critique and the personal relationships seem to work against each other, and the play becomes an elliptical invitation to think political theatre anew.
Towards a Theatre of Global Empathy: Imagining Otherness in the War on Terror
Authors: Jones Matt
Published: January 2023

In Hannah Moscovitch’s play about the Canadian mission in Afghanistan, three soldiers stand and address the audience

as if they are being interviewed by a journalist. Who are they talking to? The story they tell is about the violence they endured and committed overseas as well as the dysfunctional sexual and

psychological states they fell into as they were pushed to their limits. As they struggle to rationalize the decisions they made to an audience they perceive as potentially hostile, it becomes clear

that they are speaking across a chasm of misunderstanding. As the play’s curt title, This Is War, suggests, their stories

strip away the sanitized mythologies that surround humanitarian intervention to reveal the brutal truth that former General Rick Hillier introduced us to in a 2005 CTV News story on hunting al Qaeda in Afghanistan: the job of the Canadian Forces these days is simply “to kill people.”
Persistent, mobile, and toxic plastic additives in Canada: properties and prioritization
Authors: Fries Eric C. , Grewal Tanjot , Suehring Roxana
Published: January 2023

The hazards of many plastic additives on human and environmental health are well documented. However, little emphasis has been put on plastic additives that are persistent, mobile, and toxic (PMT) rather than persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic. Due to their high mobility and stability, it is unlikely that wastewater treatment plants will effectively remove PMT plastic additives. Herein, an in silico analysis was performed to (1) assess the retention of PMT plastic additives registered for use in Canada in wastewater treatment plants; and (2) determine whether their physical–chemical properties and structural features can be used as identifiers for PMT plastic additives with particularly low retention. We identified 124 PMT plastic additives of which 52% had less than 20% removal from wastewater treatment based on predictions using the model SimpleTreat. Log Kaw, log Kow/Dow, and log Koc/Doc ranges were defined that are indicative of low retention PMT plastic additives. Furthermore, it was found that non-halogenated PMT plastic additives that contain nitrogen are most likely to be poorly retained in wastewater treatment plants. The results of this study provide screening and prioritization criteria, as well as a suspect list for PMT plastic additives.
The impact of YouTube peer feedback on attitudes toward recovery from non-suicidal self-injury: An experimental pilot study
Authors: Lewis Stephen P. , Seko Yukari , Joshi Poojan
Published: January 2023

Background

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a serious public health concern facing adolescents and young adults worldwide. Despite growing concern that accessing NSSI content on the internet may negatively influence perceptions toward NSSI recovery, no studies have examined actual impacts.

Objectives

This experimental pilot study assessed the impact of exposure to hopeless versus hopeful peer messages on perceptions toward NSSI recovery. It was hypothesized that exposure to hopeless messages would lead to more negative perceptions about NSSI recovery whereas the opposite would occur for hopeful messages.

Methods

We developed fictional peer comments embedded in a screenshot of an NSSI-themed YouTube video and randomly assigned participants to either hopeless or hopeful recovery-oriented comments. Participants’ attitudes toward NSSI recovery, recovery-oriented subjective norms, and recovery self-efficacy were measured pre- and post-exposure using an online questionnaire.

Results

Sixty-one participants with a self-reported NSSI history (mean age 20.89 years) completed the online survey. There was a statistically significant effect for attitudes toward recovery. Within the hopeful comment condition, there was an increase in positive attitudes toward recovery and in recovery-oriented subjective norms. Participants exposed to hopeless peer messages did not report an increase in hopeless attitudes toward NSSI recovery.

Conclusions

Our pilot study indicated that exposure to hopeful online messages improved positive attitudes toward recovery and recovery-oriented subjective norms, while exposure to hopeless messages did not increase hopeless attitudes. Future research on the impacts of online peer comments on one’s attitude toward NSSI recovery and support-seeking behavior could further inform practices and policies.

Результаты исследования и их обсуждение. Результаты представлены в виде таблиц, диаграмм, а также корреляционных связей, проведено обсуждение их интерпретации.
Заключение. Полученные данные позволили сделать выводы о достоверном изменении только угла наклона и стадий формирования корней третьих моляров нижней челюсти, об отсутствии изменения гониального угла и положения изученных зубов с возрастом. При этом выявлено, что расположение коронковой части третьих моляров ниже «стресс-оси» не ухудшает прогноза их прорезывания.

School closures affect about 1.2 billion children in 186 countries as a result of the pandemic COVID 19. Many people around the world are concerned about whether online learning will continue to evolve or how it will affect the global education sector. The key benefits of Education 4.0 are related to the digital, virtual, and smart revolution for educators and other stakeholders. Some educators believe that the philosophy of personalized learning involves a lot of work, but that they can still address the specific needs of students. Using this technology, the teacher can teach the students rather than the class. Teachers have used various techniques and tools to promote personalized learning. This leads to better learning outcomes for students and better educational outcomes overall. Digital technology facilitates the work of educators and teachers by giving them the best techniques to make their job easier. Individuals prefer a customized learning methodology. In this area, the role of artificial intelligence is of great importance. AI-centric tools cater to the individual needs of students by enabling greater focus on specific topics through repetition of content and helping students learn at their own pace. In the future, the development of AI will lead to the adaptation of improved learning programs that result in greater gamification and personalization of the learning process. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of e-learning through the use of AI and Future Management Tools in learning management system in COVID 19.

Between Us and Them: Examining The Indigenous People of Malaysia as Represented in The Mainstream News Media

Published: January 2023

Examining the linguistic representation of a minority group using computer-assisted method is the heart of this study. In particular, we are interested in investigating how the indigenous people of Malaysia or Orang Asli are being represented by the news media in Malaysia as we believe that mass media play a huge role in curating the image of a group and affecting perception of readers about that group. It affects how they are perceived by the mainstream community. Using corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis, a 700,000-word corpus was examined focusing on grammatical words. Through the analysis, we found that the Orang Asli are consistently being framed as a helpless group who are frequently in need of assistance. Often, they are positioned as passive recipients of things from more dominant groups like volunteers and governments. These consistent negative and helpless images of the Orang Asli, we believe will be detrimental to the overall perception of society towards them which may later affect their social standing in the Malaysian community. We believe that stories about orang Asli need to be curated in a more positive manner thus, promoting them as active members of the society who can contribute to the development of the nation.

In the Renaissance period, the rise of the 17th century metaphysical poets like John Donne, John Dryden, Andrew Marvell and others had contributed to the publication of copious colourful poetry. The use of allegory and metaphysical conceit in their poetry have further revealed their inventive metaphors and agile intelligence (Bloom, 2010). Using Aldo Nemesio’s (1999) comparative method as an attempt to understand the poet and persona’s human literary behaviour, researchers have categorized and analyzed the poems in multiple contexts and stanzas so as to create interpretations from the allegory and conceit depicted. Hence, this paper shall discuss the findings on the comparative analysis of the element of allegory and metaphysical conceit depicted in the poems of the two metaphysical poets; John Donne’s A Valediction Forbidding Mourning and John Dryden’s Annus Mirrabilis.

Published: January 2023

English for Academic Purposes (EAP) has gained more prominence in the field of English Language Teaching (ELT) since its initiation in the 1980s. In Malaysia, a country where English is its second language, EAP is widely taught in many tertiary institutions. This is due to its main aim which is to focus on the communicative skills needed for academic purposes in formal educational settings to accomplish academic tasks such as delivering presentations, participating in academic discussions as well as writing academic and research essays. At USIM, EAP BIA3012 is a compulsory course introduced with the aim to develop students’ English proficiency and provide students with appropriate skills demanded in completing academic tasks at the tertiary level. The EAP course conducted at USIM employs the project-based learning (PBL) method, coupled with the process writing approach. This paper describes the application of both approaches in the implementation of EAP. The research project assigned to students will be explicated through its anatomy or structure according to PBL. Additionally, process writing, an approach to teaching writing that allows the students to undergo a journey of co-constructing texts under the guidance of the teachers, will also be clearly explained.  In particular, this paper will outline the complicated and non-linear nature of writing shown through these elements—generating ideas, focusing, reviewing, evaluating, structuring, drafting—which are taught and completed through a project assigned to students.

Drawing on interviews with parents of indigenous communities, this article presents insights into indigenous parenting aspects related to inside-and-outside classroom learning, cross-cultural complexities, and literacy practices by taking perspectives of Malaysia’s indigenous parents as an example. Using Bronfenbrenner's ecological model on how individuals navigate complex interactions in a particular society, indigenous parents' authority and agency play important roles in navigating competing issues of indigenous learners' literacy, learning, and class. Implications on parenting practices, particularly on uplifting indigenous parents with sociocultural, learning, and literacy engagement within changing and challenging expectations of indigenous learners inside and outside their homes, are presented.

One of the fundamental aspects during the current teaching practicum is the inclusion of innovation in the classroom, but guidance on this aspect is lacking. This paper provides a description of a proposed rubric to be used for assessing innovation teaching practicum. Three documents were reviewed and analysed by looking at the alignment between learning and innovation constructs. The outcome was a rubric that consisted of eight constructs, which aligns with the learning objectives, the national content and learning standard, and assessment, as outlined by the Ministry of Education, Malaysia. The proposed rubric was later reviewed by two inter-raters.
