Efforts by the Peatland and Mangrove Restoration Agency to Foster Environmental Awareness Among Students in Dumai City
Authors: Sugiyanto Seger
Published: November 2024

Forest and peatland fires, as well as coastal abrassion, are environmental issues that require serious attention. This study aims to analyze the efforts made by the Peatland and Mangrove Restoration Agency in building ecological awareness, specifically regarding peatland and mangrove ecosystems. The research employs qualitative methods through interviews, observations, documentation, and literature review. The findings indicate that the Peatland and Mangrove Restoration Agency's efforts to promote environmental awareness involve a collaborative approach to socialization and education. The Agency collaborates with the Dumai City Government, particularly the Department of Education, in the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5). Learning about peatland and mangrove ecosystems is incorporated as a local content highlight in the P5 curriculum. Dumai has even become the first region in Riau Province to launch the P5 Peatland and Mangrove Curriculum. Policy interventions in educational institutions are latent efforts aimed at fostering a love for the environment concerning peatland and mangrove ecosystems and ensuring future conservation. This effort is crucial due to the increasing potential loss of peatland ecosystems in Dumai City as a result of land conversion for industrial areas. Similarly, the problem of abrassion is increasingly alarming due to the degradation of mangrove ecosystems, both from natural causes and human activities.
Historical Overview of Equivalence in Translation Studies
Authors: Alrymayh Alhanouf Nasser
Published: November 2024

The concept of equivalence has been of specific concern to many Western translation scholars. It was an essential feature of translation theories in the 1960s and 1970s, which sited it within the framework of structural linguistics. This paper will primarily discuss the notion of equivalence in a comprehensive way according to translation scholars since the 1950s. The first part of this paper will review the earlier debate on meaning and equivalence as one of the key linguistics issues in the 1950s. The general view of equivalence at that time attempted to explain how the source text (henceforth ST) and target text (henceforth TT) share some kind of similarity. This is followed by further efforts to explain this term according to the perspectives and approaches of several theorists. The second part focuses on contemporary translation scholars investigating equivalence in broader terms. Contemporary theorists have shifted from looking at differences in each type of equivalence and the effect of meaning to another perspective where equivalence is seen as a relationship between two texts.

Authors: Malinda Yosie , Vidayanti Desiana , Citra Zel
Published: November 2024

A silo is a structure used to store bulk materials (bulk materials). Silos are generally used in agriculture as storage for grains and animal feed. The foundation silo must be designed to withstand the forces generated and accommodate the movements transmitted to the structure and foundation by the seismic ground motion design. The dynamic properties of the soil, the anticipated ground motion, the design basis for the strength and energy dissipation capacity of the structure, and the dynamic characteristics of the soil should be included in determining the foundation design criteria. In PT X, SILO structure serves as a place for livestock feed production, with the hope that it can last for a relatively long time. The condition of the existing SILO structure is currently some cracks in several parts of the piles and the bottom slab. The results of the visual inspection in the field regarding the condition and level of cracking in the silo foundation were compiled into a matrix inspection table using four categories: category 1 indicates no repairs needed, category 2 marked in green, represents an acceptable cracking condition with minor repairs, category 3 marked in yellow indicates moderate cracking that requires attention, and category 4 marked in red signifies major cracking or unacceptable conditions that require structural repairs. The results of the field inspection indicate that approximately 57% of the concrete slab foundation of the silo requires needs attention or repair. The condition of the plate/slab structure has some cracks measuring 0.3mm - 0.5mm, but injection and patching have been carried out. As for the condition of the silo foundation, about 30% requires needs attention and repair as well.

A natural causality-motivated descriptionof learning
Authors: Kosheleva O. , Kreinovich V.
Published: November 2024

Teaching is not easy. One of the main reasons why it is not easyis that the existing descriptions of the teaching process are not very precise -and thus, we cannot use the usual optimization techniques, techniques whichrequire a precise model of the corresponding phenomenon. It is thereforedesirable to come up with a precise description of the learning process. Tocome up with such a description, we notice that on the set of all possible statesof learning, there is a natural order 𝑠6𝑠′meaning that we can bring thestudent from the state 𝑠to the state 𝑠′. This relation is similar to the causalityrelation of relativity theory, where 𝑎6𝑏means that we can move from point𝑎to point 𝑏. In this paper, we use this analogy with relativity theory to comeup with the basics of such an order-based description of learning. We hopethat future studies of these basics will help to improve the teaching process.
Model of the effect of spontaneous crisisin the development of biological invasion
Authors: Perevaryukha A.Yu.
Published: November 2024

The dynamics of formation of new populations as result of the introductionof alien species into a stable community is an important modern direction of modern interdisciplinary research. The aim of the research is to analyze the variability ofsituations after the entry of new species into isolated biosystems using computational modeling methods. Invasive processes differ significantly from the dynamicsof interaction of established populations, which requires modification of the equations.In each new environment, a special system of regulation and confrontation with atemporary aftereffect is created, therefore invasive processes are extremely variable,as now COVID infection occurs in people very differently. A number of abrupt in amplitude and rapid in time changes in population numbers, which differ from the cyclicregimes in the known models, require a mathematical description. The response ofthe response is not constant and adapts, which distinguishes current situations fromordinary trophic models. The article is devoted to the development of a computationalmodel for one of the important variants of the development of the invasive process, which is observed when the population size approaches a threshold dangerous for theenvironment. The model describes the scenario of the crisis dynamics of invasion inthe presence of environmental resistance, which is insufficient to stop the invasiondue to the significant required development of a delay response. Real situations in experimental and real ecosystems are discussed, which correspond to the crisis scenariodescribed in the computational experiment.

Analysis of modes of vibrotransportation of single-mass elastic-viscous-plastic model of cargo layer under rectilinear harmonic oscillations of load-carrying body
Authors: Arkhipenko A.V.
Published: November 2024

The motion of an elastic-viscous-plastic model of a cargo on an inclined loadcarrying body is considered. It is shown that the efficiency of vibrotransportation of finely ground bulk materials is determined not only by vibration parameters, but also very significantly depends on the properties of the cargo layer and external resistances. It is revealed that the formula for determining the velocity of vibrotransportation of a material particle, with the obtained numerical values of the transfer coefficient of the horizontal component of velocity, applicable for granular materials with good air permeability, can be used to determine the velocity of vibrotransportation of finely ground bulk solids by introducing a correction factor that takes into account the influence of elastic-hysteresis properties of the cargo and aerodynamic resistances at the moment of detachment of the cargo from the loadcarrying body.

The role of motivation and knowledge in promoting green consumer behavior in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan
Authors: Alawadh Ammar , Rafi Nosheen , Kalyar Masood Nawaz , Abrudan Denisa Bogdana
Published: November 2024

This research explores the factors influencing consumers’ intentions and behaviors toward purchasing green products in two culturally and economically distinct countries, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Drawing on Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), the study examines the roles of altruistic and egoistic motivations, alongside environmental knowledge, in shaping green consumer behavior. Altruistic motivation, driven by concern for societal well-being and environmental sustainability, is found to have a stronger impact on green purchase intention and behavior in both countries, particularly in Pakistan. Egoistic motivation, which focuses on personal benefits like health and cost savings, also contributes but with a lesser influence. The research employs a cross-sectional survey design, collecting data from 1000 respondents (500 from each country) using a stratified random sampling technique. The collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine the relationships between variables and test the moderating effects of environmental knowledge. The results reveal that environmental knowledge significantly moderates the effect of both altruistic and egoistic motivations on green purchase intention, enhancing the likelihood of eco-friendly consumption. These findings underscore the importance of environmental education in promoting sustainable consumer behavior. The originality of this study lies in its comparative analysis of green consumerism in two distinct contexts and its exploration of motivational factors through the TPB framework. Practical implications suggest that policymakers and marketers can develop strategies that appeal to both altruistic and egoistic drivers while enhancing consumer knowledge of environmental issues. The study contributes to the literature by expanding TPB to include the moderating role of environmental knowledge in understanding green consumption behavior across diverse cultures.

Authors: Yuliati Nova , Pawito P. , Wijaya Mahendra , Utari Prahastiwi
Published: November 2024

An important element in dealing with HIV/AIDS is to disclose of its status to others. One of the problems faced by HIV/AIDS sufferers in disclosing their status is finding people they can trust, who can keep information about their HIV/AIDS status and not divulge it to other parties without their permission. Not many people can accept them without prejudice and stigma. This article discusses the communication efforts carried out by female AIDS activists in the community as co-owners who receive information from people with HIV/AIDS and subsequently become confidants and assist them in medical and psychological and social aspects. This study used a qualitative method. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with 9 Community AIDS activist women from 7 regions. The results of the study reveal the process of housewives transforming into community AIDS activists, how they get personal information about the status of HIV/AIDS and eventually become co-owners of information who eventually become confidants, have responsibilities and help people with HIV/AIDS in health, psychological and social aspects.
Investigating household food waste in Indonesia: An extended norm activation model
Authors: Chandra Alhapen Ruslin , Lita Ratni Prima , Ma’ruf Ma’ruf , Sari Dessy Kurnia
Published: November 2024

Consumers waste significant amounts of food. Food waste presents a substantial problem for the environment, society and economy. Addressing the food waste challenge is crucial for fostering sustainable behavior and achieving the Sustainability Development Goal 12.3 agenda. Norms are a significant determinant in motivating consumers to prevent food waste and could be activated by other factors. Religiosity has the potential to influence norms related to food waste behavior. This study investigated how religiosity affects the intentions of consumers to minimize food waste. The interplay of religiosity, personal norms, subjective norms, and intention to avoid food waste was examined by the extended norm activation model. Data were obtained from Muslim consumers in Indonesia. Structural equation modeling evaluation showed that religiosity positively affects the intention to prevent food waste. The intention to avoid food waste is more closely associated with personal norms compared to subjective norms. Personal norms mediate the religiosity and food waste reduction intention relationship. Consumer awareness activates personal norms by making them feel accountable for food waste’s negative impact. These findings provide insights to stakeholders in developing policies to mitigate the food waste issue.
Exploring Heat Demand Forecasting in District Heating Networks Using Random Parameter Linear Regression Model
Authors: Ali Hesham , Dedov Andrei , Volkova Anna
Published: November 2024

Accurate forecasting of heat demand in district heating networks is essential for their efficient and sustainable operation. This paper presents a novel approach using a random parameter linear regression model to forecast heat demand, distinguishing itself from classical linear regression models by its ability to address unobserved heterogeneity among parameters. Through a case study in Estonia and utilizing data from 2018 to 2023 and considering seasonality and consumption patterns, the study investigates determinants of heating demand in district heating networks. Two models were trained for heating and non-heating seasons. Results indicate significant impacts of weather conditions, energy prices, time of day, and network infrastructure on heat supply during the heating season, while only time of day and electricity prices were significant drivers during the non-heating season, with no notable influence of weather conditions. Prediction accuracy was slightly enhanced using the random parameter linear regression model, with a mean absolute percentage error of 9.66 % compared to 9.99 % for the Multi Linear Regression Model on the testing set.
Entrepreneurial Value Proposition Proficiency Diagnosis: A KAP Model Dimension
Authors: IWARA Ishmael Obaeko
Published: November 2024

The persistently high attrition rates of small, medium, and micro enterprises in most economies globally hinges significantly on challenges stemming from lack of business dynamism and intense competition. This study explores the entrepreneurial proficiency of entrepreneurs in value proposition skills, a pivotal resource in mitigating homogeneity-related business failures. Using the KAP framework, variables within knowledge (awareness, comprehension and competence), attitudes (perception, intention and consistency) and practices (target audience, differential offerings, customer value) were scrutinised across cohorts (gender, location, and support status). Through a non-parametric analysis on a data structure obtained from conducting a 5-Likert type scale survey with 648 entrepreneurs, the findings explains that while awareness of the value proposition is notably high across respondents, supported entrepreneurs outshine their unsupported counterparts. Comprehension and competence, however, exhibit comparatively lower values, particularly among unsupported entrepreneurs, and despite a positive perception, the intention and consistency levels regarding the value proposition concept are sub-par across all groups. In terms of practice, factors such as target audience and differential offerings are below average, emphasizing the need for strategic and pragmatic interventions. The result indicates an overall deficiency in value proposition proficiency, stressing targeted soft and hard entrepreneurial skills interventions to foster not only value proposition acumen but market positioning, entrepreneurial resilience, and enterprises efficacy in the competitive business landscape.
Promoting Innovation in Public Organisations: An Analysis in a National Public Institution in Algeria
Authors: GUERNOUB Hemza
Published: November 2024

Organisational innovation has become a critical factor for the survival and competitiveness of public-sector organisations. This form of innovation entails the introduction of new ways of doing and organising work that aimed at enhancing the organisation’s capacity to achieve its objectives. The aim of this study is therefore to explore the conditions that stimulate the development of organisational innovation in the context of a national public institution experiencing transformation and modernisation in Algeria. More specifically, our aim is to identify the internal and external conditions that facilitate the emergence of innovation, using a descriptive and analytical approach based on qualitative data collection (interviews and observations). The results of this work show that innovation is not isolated in the organisation, but is influenced by the organisation’s internal and external environment. This environment exerts pressure but also provides the conditions and the opportunities for innovation. The existence of a clear development strategy and project-based working structures provides a favourable context for innovation. Innovation is also a collective phenomenon, arising from the contribution of all key people in the organisation and the mobilisation of collective capacities through the role of leadership and the organisational support. Public organisations must therefore pay particular attention to these aspects in order to create value and innovate in their practices and remain competitive in an increasingly turbulent environment.
”Vi behöver fler akutskolor i Sverige för de elever som inte kan uppföra sig som folk”
Authors: Bunar Nihad
Published: November 2024

The aim of the article is to explore constructions of the disciplinary measure emergency school, understood as an institutionalization of the policy for and the public discourse about “forceful measures for safety and discipline” in schools. Theoretical approach is critical policy analysis. The empirical material consists of, in this context, relevant policy documents, Swedish media discourses and international research. Emergency schools have made a rapid journey through the Swedish school-institutional landscape. From loosely defined local inventions, with a plenty of labels to being constructed as a matter of national urgency. The public discourse has rapidly evolved from stressing that the goal of emergency schools is to offer support to students at-risk (discourse of equity) in a secluded environment to becoming a site where rowdy, violent and criminal students at least temporary can be evacuated (discourse of safety). The question of knowledge is completely absent from public discourse and from the policy foundations. One of the risks with emergency school, apart from anticipated stigmatization and negative impact on learning progress, is that its sheer existence can negatively affect the primary responsibility of ordinary schools for safety, positive school climate and equity of all students. The pressing issue to be raised is not just what emergency schools do with their students, but also what they do with the ordinary schools’ overall responsibility for safety and positive school climate.

Objective: The objective of this study was to contextualize the literature on stakeholder responsibilities in the reverse supply chain (RSC) of waste, in the context of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).
 
Method: This comprises a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on the method of Tranfield et al. (2003). The articles were collected from the Science Direct, Web of Science and Scopus databases, using search strings previously defined in the research protocol.
 
Results and Discussion: The research identified 65 relevant articles, highlighting the importance of EPR in assigning responsibility for CSR. Approximately 37% of the articles did not mention specific waste, while almost 40% focused on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), highlighting the relevance of this topic
 
Research Implications: Offered insights into the attribution of responsibilities in CSR and the application of EPR. In waste management, the results may influence how stakeholders share responsibilities, especially for WEEE. Theoretically, the research revealed gaps on EPR, especially in emerging economies. These findings can guide more effective public policies and strategies for waste management and sustainable practices.
 
Originality/Value: Contributes to the literature by refining the extraction parameters in the context of CSR responsibility, highlighting an academic gap on the complexity of EPR. The originality lies in the critical analysis of terminology, highlighting the growing relevance of EPR in WEEE management, reflecting global interest, especially in emerging economies such as Brazil, China and India.
Unwinding the Nuclear Family Ideal of Blockbuster YA Dystopia
Authors: Pataki Šumiga Jelena
Published: November 2024

YA dystopian literature has often been criticised for its reinforcement of the traditional institution of the patriarchal nuclear family. This article argues that such criticism is the result of a reduction of this genre to certain blockbuster titles, such as Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games series (2008-2010), which do indeed overrepresent the traditional family as the main desirable family ideal. Building on Rebekah Fitzsimmons and Casey Alane Wilson’s commitment to expanding the study of YA literature in Beyond the Blockbusters (2020), the article will first explore how a hyperfocus on YA dystopian blockbusters has reinforced the patriarchal nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and child or children, as the ideal social form and the main source of physical and emotional support for teenagers. Then, using the case study of an underrepresented YA dystopia, Neal Shusterman’s Unwind (2007), this article will reveal the possibilities that teenagers inside and outside the novel have in navigating the world beyond the traditional, heteronormative, and loving nuclear family. In doing so, this article will affirm the critical and pedagogical role of Shusterman’s YA dystopia and serve as a test case for researching other YA (dystopian) texts that do not reinforce the patriarchal ideal.
“We are all in this together”:
Authors: Connors Sean P.
Published: November 2024

As carbon emissions from the burning of fossil fuels warm the planet, altering the climate and causing severe drought in some regions and unprecedented flooding in others, and as state and local governments privatize once-public water systems in the name of fiscal austerity, the connection between water equity and social justice is increasingly evident. This article introduces a critical lens of intersectional environmentalism and identifies three questions that teachers and students can ask to examine how a society’s treatment of water is connected to its treatment of people. When students understand how the well-being of people, animals, natural resources, and the Earth itself are interconnected, they are better prepared to explain how working for environmental justice necessitates their working for social justice as well.
