Authors: Chusniyah Tutut , Riswasono Jayaindra , Bisri Moh. , Ramadhania P Bestarindra
Published: November 2022

One way to reduce or minimize conflict in a dating relationship is forgiveness. One of the factors of forgiveness is the positive attribution of the victim to the perpetrator, which can be facilitated by perspective-taking empathy. Previous research has shown that a style of humor correlates with perspective-taking empathy and forgiveness. This study aims to further develop previous research by finding out whether humor style can predict forgiveness and focusing more on the dependent variable to be forgiveness for a partner in college students who are in a dating relationship. This study uses a quantitative approach with correlational design and multiple linear regression. The independent variable is humor styles, consisting of affiliative humor, self-enhancing humor, aggressive humor, and self-defeating humor. Otherwise, the dependent variable is forgiveness for a partner. The measuring instrument in this study used the adaptation of the Humor Style Questionnaire (HSQ) and the Forgiveness for Partner Scale (FPS). This study involved 177 students of the FPPsi State University of Malang who were in a dating relationship. The results showed that the humor style could simultaneously predict forgiveness for the partner, but only aggressive humor has a significant effect.
Keywords: humor styles, forgiveness for partner, dating relationship, college students.

Authors: Bahl Regina , Gupta Dr. Shubhangi
Published: November 2022

The major aim of the present study was to assess “Personality, Coping Strategies and Youth Problems in Engineering Students.” A sample of 80 engineering hostellers from Manipal University Jaipur, aged between 18-21 years were selected using the purposive technique of sampling. Big Five Inventory BFI [9] , Coping Strategies Inventory CSI [28], and Youth Problem Inventory YPI [17] were used to assess the variables in the study. The obtained data were analyzed using the statistical technique of Pearson Correlation. The findings revealed that a significant relationship exists between personality and coping strategies. But each personality dimension does not have a significant relationship with each of the youth problems (family, personal, educational, and socio-emotional). Also, no significant relationship has been found between coping strategies and youth problems. However, a significantly negative relationship has been found between problem-focused engagement and personal problems.

The Controls of Household Mobility in Enugu Metropolitan Area, Nigeria
Authors: Eze Basil U. , T.I Merit
Published: November 2022

A household chooses where to relocate in an urban area for variety of reasons especially bothering on housing and environmental conditions. Since there is a spatial differential in housing and environmental conditions in the urban areas, the direction of this movement equally varies spatially. This has implications for urban planning and administration. This paper therefore examined through household survey, the factors that control intra-urban movement in Enugu metropolitan area using a random sample population of 489 urban households. Analysis was done using simple percentages. The result showed that 383 households did move atleast once. The prime factors found to have overwhelmingly induced movement are insecurity, low power supply, dirty environment, noise pollution, quest for education, bad road network, poor housing and flooding in decreasing order of importance. The paper concludes that stakeholders in urban administration should take cognizance of these parameters which influence the urban housing environment.

The English Model for Preventing Unfair Terms
Authors: María- Elisa Morales,
Published: November 2022

Consumer contracts are characterized by being asymmetrical. Therefore, consumer contracts often contain unfair terms. Consumer Law must prevent or repress unfair terms using different control mechanisms. Faced with the internal requirement for a good control mechanism for unfair terms, comparative law could provide answers. Thus, in a micro comparison context, according to Zwigert and Kötz, if we want to propose a foreign solution, the first question is “has it proved satisfactory in its country of origin?” This question refers to how effectively the chosen country solved the problem. Our study argues that the English way of preventing unfair terms works well for a significant amount of consumer contracts and therefore should be studied by micro comparison if we seek to propose an improvement on this area in our respective internal system.

Authors: B. Mariano Louella Jean , Potane Joel D.
Published: November 2022

It is a general objective of an educational institution to facilitate the needs of the students. Considering research to be a critical component of postgraduate education, this qualitative inquiry sought to ascertain the benefits and difficulties associated with conducting research by postgraduate students. These elements have an effect on their contentment and motivation, which in turn has an effect on the success of the research program's efforts. Ten postgraduate students who had taken Thesis 1 and 2 courses at a private university in Northern Mindanao were chosen for the study via a purposive sample technique. Findings revealed that undertaking research enables researchers to grow personally and professionally. The majority of postgraduate students asserted that conducting research enabled them to discover new information and allowed them to solve problems. On the other hand, the students' challenges highlighted areas of the research process where student-researchers require further direction and assistance. Concerning the impacts of conducting research on an individual's physical, intellectual, social, and emotional well-being, the study discovered that research has a positive or negative effect on an individual's well-being, depending on how they deal with the experience. This study disclosed that research students must understand the value of effective time management and must learn to create and apply it when conducting research in order to work around time restrictions. Research programs may place a greater emphasis on guiding and aiding students with the formulation of research questions, the examination of literature, the collection and analysis of data, as these were perceived as difficult steps in the research process by student-researchers.
Reflections on the use of qualitative case study design in education policy research: contributing to the debate of Generalisation in research
Authors: Ibrahim Mohammed Gunu , M. Victoria Door
Published: November 2022

Researchers across the disciplines use different designs in the quest to authentically reflect the phenomena they investigate. One design claiming to capture the lived experiences of individuals in an appropriate way is qualitative-case study. This article focuses on generalisability of qualitative case study research findings by reflecting on educational policy research conducted in Ghana to explore the lived experiences of students, teachers and school managers in Ghanaian high schools, with an eye to the potential of positive behaviour management in that specific West African context. The claim made here is that generalisation from individual case studies is both possible and worth doing in so far as the theoretical underpinning is well grounded. This research seeks to justify the use of qualitative-case-study research in educational policy research. The distinctiveness of this methodological approach lies in its ability to generalise the findings.

Authors: Binaebi Igbongidi Paul
Published: November 2022

The responsibility of advancing a society falls to the highest degree of human creativity, which is greatly correlates with the state's level of superior training and deliberate growth of education. Such growth or progress is only possible when every member of society has a meaningful job and a rising per capita income. The goal of this project is to use entrepreneurial development to address the unemployment issue in Bayelsa State. The study is made more difficult by the fact that the community being investigated is experiencing a hydra-headed setback caused by corrupt activities and the unemployment crisis. Only when government educational programs are focused on a well-designed education that can result in job establishment and also self-dependence. Government might accomplish such social growth through entrepreneurship education. Therefore, this essay explores the role of entrepreneurship education and how it could support employment creation in the setting under study. Also mentioned were the difficulties of excellent entrepreneurial education. The article concluded by offering some recommendations on how to overcome the difficulties and increase job creation in the area under study.

Published: November 2022

Background: Chickpea is one of the major protein rich legume crops predominantly cultivated in North Interior Karnataka (NIK). The study aimed to determine water requirement of chickpea (variety BGD- 103) using CROPWAT model that helps in tapping the potential yields of the crop through proper irrigation management by the farmers of North Interior Karnataka (NIK), which consists of 12 districts with 88,361 km2 area. Methods: The crop was simulated by considering recommended practices of UAS, Dharwad across four dates of sowing from 01st October to 15th November at quarterly interval for the past (1991-2020) and projected period (2021-2050), and the decadal analysis was done for the past and projected climate. The analysed climate, crop and soil data were used for simulation using CROPWAT model. Results: The average crop evapotranspiration (ETc), effective rainfall (ER) and irrigation requirement (IR) under past climate (1991-2020) for NIK were 292.6, 57.4 and 245.9 mm, respectively. Decrease of 67 mm in ETc, 91.3 mm in IR and an increase of 40.8 mm in ER were observed under projected climate. Sowing early i.e., on 01st October under projected climate (2021-2050) simulated the lowest water requirement and irrigation requirement for all the 12 districts of NIK.

Published: November 2022

Background: In lentil, the information on relationship between combining ability, parental genetic diversity and heterosis is very scanty and need to be explored further. Methods: The present investigation was carried out in randomized block design with three replications during rabi 2020-21 at GBPUAT, Pantnagar with 55 genotypes (10 parents and 4p5 F1’s hybrids). The Griffing’s, Method II, Model I was used to estimate combining ability. The D2 statistics was used to measure genetic diversity (GD). The Pearson’s correlation was used to measure correlation between heterosis and different parameters viz., parental mean (PM), specific combining ability (SCA), mean of general combining ability (MGCA) and genetic diversity (GD). Result: The hybrids viz., PL 8 x PL 4 (2.1 g), PL 8 x L 4147 (2.11 g), PL 8 x L 4076 (2.13 g), PL 8 x PL 406 (2.27 g), PL 8 x PL 5 (2.32 g) and PL 8 x PL 7 (2.52 g) were identified as most promising hybrids for seed yield while the parents PL 8 (2.14 g) and PL 7 (2.07 g) can be used as donors for high seed yield. The SCA were found to be the most reliable parameters to predict heterosis.

Biographical Study with Hermeneutic Approach in Psychiatric Care Delivered at Community Mental Health Centers
Authors: BAG Beyhan
Published: November 2022

When the literature studies on the services provided in community mental health centers (CMHCs) are carefully evaluated, it is seen that there are research results with positive feedback. On the other hand, a structured daily work standard has not yet been reached regarding the psychiatric care services provided in the increasing number of centers. In order to establish such a standardized work, there is a need for nurses to carry different approaches to the services they provide to sick individuals to their practice areas. Biography study, which can be defined in general terms as the use of the possibilities available to the individual in the process of coping with the events affecting his/her life, is compatible with the need for the formation of community mental health centers and the understanding of multidisciplinary work as such an application area. In this article, the introduction of biography work, its transfer to psychiatric care practice services in CMHC and the interpretation of the individual's life story narrative with a hermeneutic approach are discussed.

Authors: İSMEN GAZİOGLU Esra , SERTELİN MERCAN Çare , DEMİR İlkay
Published: November 2022

Intimate relationships are the focal aspiration for human beings. Romantic relationship education is described as a road map for helping people to find strategies and solutions that fit their context, values and relationship goals. By using evidence-based skills training, people can learn techniques to navigate typical relationship challenges and safely express emotions. Being in a mutually satisfying committed relationship has proven to be associated with many positive outcomes including life satisfaction, physical well-being, better coping with major illness, as well as longer life expectancy and career achievement. Relationship education programs are developed by psychologists in Western countries as a preventive intervention for couples, adolescents and emerging adults before relationships reach crisis stage. There is, however, a lack of empirical studies to examine the effectiveness of relationship education within the Turkish cultural context. The overarching aim of this study is to review the relationship education programs within Turkish and international literature. This study provides an overview of the relationship education, and its scope, and theoretical foundations and also effectiveness of relationship education programs for couples, adolescents and emerging adults. The study further provides cultural, theoretical and practical recommendations for future directions in Turkish relationship education programs.
Moral Grandstanding as a Narcissistic Intrinsic Satisfaction
Authors: ŞEN Gamze , MANUOĞLU Elif
Published: November 2022

The aim of this study is to define the concept of moral grandstanding and discuss its antecedents, motivations behind it, and implications. Moral grandstanding is described as contributing to moral discourse to persuade others that one is morally respectable. Individuals who value their moral standing are more concerned about their own self than the topics that they claim to discuss. Therefore, it is likely that individuals who perform moral grandstanding may be high on the narcissistic personality trait. Although moral grandstanding can bring about reputation and fame to individuals, it can be associated with society contribution in some cases. While advertising their prosocial behavior, individuals’ true motivation may not be obvious. Thus, it is essential to understand their actual motivation for the behavior in question as well as their level of narcissism in order to understand whether the behavior is considered as an example of moral grandstanding. Pathological narcissism and the intrinsic-extrinsic motivation concept of self-determination theory were used to extend the current understanding of the moral grandstanding concept in the present study. Lastly, the real-life implications of moral grandstanding were discussed with reference to current issues like the pandemic.
Associations Between Financial Stressors and Financial Behaviors: Does Race/Ethnicity Matter?
Authors: Lee Yoon G. , Lopez Paula A. , Kelley Heather H.
Published: November 2022

Using data from the 2018 National Financial Capability Study (NFCS), this study examined the associations between financial stressors and financial behaviors, and how these associations differ by race/ethnicity. The descriptive results showed that Black and Hispanic individuals reported higher financial stressors than White and Asian/Other individuals. The regression results showed that higher financial stressors significantly increased undesirable financial behaviors and decreased desirable financial behaviors. The regression results also revealed that Black individuals engaged in significantly more undesirable financial behaviors, while Hispanic and Asian/Other individuals did not differ significantly from White individuals. Further analyses for racial/ethnic differences in the associations between financial stressors and behaviors suggest that race/ethnicity moderated the relationship between the financial stressors and financial behaviors. Specifically, Black individuals with high financial stressors engaged in fewer undesirable financial behaviors, but they also engaged in fewer desirable financial behaviors as compared to the other racial and ethnic groups. Implications for financial counselors, financial educators, and other financial professionals are discussed.

Background: Existing research supports the effectiveness of person-centred practices in working with persons with physical, intellectual and developmental disabilities, but less clear is the influence of workplace factors on the implementation and quality of person-centred practices. Aims: This article explores the influence of workplace factors on job satisfaction and on the implementation and quality of person-centred practices in healthcare agencies that provide home- and community-based services through a Medicaid waiver in Mississippi, a state in the southeastern United States. Methods: Purposive sampling was used to collect data via online surveys to explore the interrelationships among person-centred workplaces, job satisfaction and person-centred practices. Results: Path analysis reveals that a person-centred workplace influences both skill implementation and person-centred processes. Job satisfaction was significantly correlated to skill implementation and person-centred processes in bivariate analysis but was not detected in the path model. Conclusion: This study suggests that organisations may improve the provision of person-centred practices by investing in policies that create a person-centred workplace. Implications for practice: A person-centred workplace environment is a critical factor that influences person-centred practices and job satisfaction among employees Adapting practices to be person-centred should occur at every level of an organisation Social care organisations should maintain continuous assessments of person-centredness to ensure a person-centred workplace where employees consistently use person-centred skills and processes with the people whom they support

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a síntese do governo Dilma disponibilizada pelo portal de notícias da Globo - G1, a partir de 31 de agosto de 2016. Ao estudar essa retrospectiva não nos limitamos a compreender o seu sentido formal ou estrutural, mas também nos concentramos em detectar as estratégias narrativas propostas pelo site a fim de entender melhor os sentidos em disputa, bem como as complexas relações de poder que fazem parte dessa disputa. Para dar suporte às nossas análises utilizamos um método baseado nas proposições de Erwin Panofsky que incorpora, de acordo com as proposições de Roland Barthes, o estudo das legendas e dos títulos associados às imagens selecionadas. Para refletir sobre os resultados encontrados, convocamos os conceitos de Acontecimento, desenvolvido por Louis Quéré, e de Enquadramento, proposto por Erwin Goffman; junto às noções de Discurso e Verdade advindos da obra de Michel Foucault; além das ideias sobre a fotografia em Alan Sekula, Roland Barthes e Susan Sontag.
Autonomy and care in the logic of competing and solidarity relations in medicine
Authors:   Novosibirsk State National Research University, Sidorova Tatyana A.
Published: November 2022

The interactions of the subjects of medicine are considered in the projection of two logics: solidary and competing relations. This approach develops the critique of the dominance of the concept of patient autonomy that comes with the bioethics represented in the ethics of care by K. Dörner, A. Moll and others. The conceptual forms of competition and solidarity are identified as oppositions to power and equality, autonomy and care, individualism and interdependence of subjects of medicine, anti-paternalism and paternalism, neglect and attentiveness, the legal and ethical meaning of informed consent, control and compliance, medical services and medical care. In medicine, from point of view of bioethics, the solidary relations could be expressed in a paternalistic model. It is based on ethi-cal connotations such as doctor's responsibility and mutual trust. Autonomy has a legal and economic predication. The ethics of care, traditional for the Russian cultural model, implies not so much the doctor's authorities over the patient, recognizing him as unequal in medical decisions, but in modern healthcare it can be combined with a voluntary expression of consent to medical interventions with the properly provided information.

Published: November 2022

Five years have passed since the death of the great scientist, the "father" of Russian bioethics Boris Grigoryevich Yudin. A round table held at the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences was dedicated to his memory. Memories of B.G.Yudin and the reinterpretation of his ideas in the modern era have become the subject of discussion by leading bioethicists. Science itself has undergone major changes over the years. It is all the more important to "read" the works of Boris Grigorievich in a new way, who not only reflected on contemporary bioethics, but also formulated the main ideas of its future development.

Reducing the colonial footprint through tutorials: A South African perspective on the decolonisation of education
Authors: Hassan S. L.
Published: November 2022

This article reports on how tutorials are employed as an instrument for the decolonisation of higher education and the promotion of inclusivity. The study was underpinned by activity theory and Bourdieu’s social field theory. Since 2015, students have embarked on nationwide protests against a colonised higher education system that they lament also makes them feel unwelcome and alienated. They have demanded that tertiary institutions be inclusive, address social justice and apply decolonisation. The study reported in this article demonstrated that the tutorial field provided a nurturing space where black tutees were made to feel comfortable on account of the tutors’ symbolic capital and habitus which they could relate to. It is argued here that pedagogical tools such as the application of tutees’ mother-tongue (an example of decolonisation) and the use of group work has the potential to help integrate black tutees into academia. One needs to be cautious, however, that groups which are linguistically similar could be regarded as exclusive.

El presente trabajo ofrece un análisis del comportamiento de la fecundidad desagregado por nivel de instrucción de la madre en Argentina en el siglo XXI y presta especial atención a la evolución de la fecundidad adolescente en el mismo período. A diferencia de lo acontecido en otros países de la región en las últimas dos décadas, donde el descenso de la fecundidad fue casi ininterrumpida, en la Argentina la fecundidad tuvo un comportamiento estable, similar a una meseta, desde comienzos del siglo XXI hasta 2014, a partir de cuando comenzó un descenso sostenido análogo al de sus países vecinos. Para este análisis se usan datos de las estadísticas vitales y de las estimaciones y proyecciones de población del INDEC, y para el análisis por nivel de instrucción, datos de las encuestas permanentes de hogares del INDEC y del Censo Nacional de Población y Vivienda de 2010. En el análisis se puede observar una importante brecha en los niveles de fecundidad entre las mujeres más y menos instruidas, principalmente en la fecundidad adolescente. Esta brecha es un reflejo de inequidad, dado que la alta fecundidad afecta sobre todo a las mujeres de los estratos sociales más vulnerables.

Simetría es equivalencia, proporción, armonía e incluso belleza. La simetría está implícita en los cristales, y por lo tanto en los minerales, como una propiedad derivada de la periodicidad. Nos ayuda en la comprensión y descripción de la materia cristalina, tanto a escala macroscópica como microscópica. Pero simetría es un concepto interdisciplinar por excelencia que utilizamos en química, física, matemáticas, zoología, botánica, y también en la música, la pintura, la ornamentación, la arquitectura…A un nivel de divulgación científica desarrollaremos algunos conceptos fundamentales de la simetría y los aplicaremos en diferentes dominios de nuestro entorno cotidiano.
From Sufism to Resolution: Examining the Spiritual Teachings of Tarekat Shiddiqiyyah as the Theology of Peace in Indonesia

Published: November 2022

This research reveals an important phenomenon in maintaining peace in religious diversity and different understandings. All countries yearn for a harmonious and stable socio-religious system without any religious conflict. However, the exact formula has not been fully reached, including in Indonesia. There were conflicts based on differences in religious understanding that led to social-psychological pressure and acts of violence that led to regional exile. This research explores the regularity pattern of the socio-religious system implemented by an Islamic Sufism order of Tarekat Shiddiqiyah in Jombang, East Java. Thus, it can become a role model for the theology of peace in the archipelago and even globally. Several significant research results were found in this research. First, spiritual teachings applied by Tarekat Shiddiqiyah focus on practicing riyadhah (inner movements) and eliminating the feelings of envy, fanaticism, inappropriate claims, and unkind self-righteousness, which potentially become the leading cause of religious conflict. Second, the spiritual teachings elements of Tarekat Shiddiqiyyah reduce and resolve religious conflicts through several principles, including 1) the aspects of humanity through the principle of peace, 2) the concept of balance through the principle of correlation, 3) the concept of comprehensiveness through the principle of Ihsan.

This study aims to integrate green learning into the curriculum and proposes a holistic conceptual framework for Islamic higher education. This study used a qualitative-thematic approach and collected data through structured interviews with four informants from Islamic higher education institutions with green campus programs who were selected through snowball sampling. The results revealed that the green campus had been implemented in several ways, including the vision and governance of the campus environment, the appropriate waste management, research, and community service, and the learning process in several courses, either explicitly regulated in the written curriculum or implicitly taught in the hidden curriculum. One of the goals of implementing a green campus is to provide insight to students, lecturers, and other higher education communities about the importance of a sustainable environment through the learning process as a provision when living in a society. In addition, Islamic higher education has budgeted funds for green campus development, although it is limited because it strictly competes with funds allocations for other required campus development. For this reason, the researchers propose Tawhid-Based Green Learning, a conceptual framework for developing Islamic higher education responsive to the natural environment, which is reflected in the vision, mission, goals, learning materials, quality assurance, and outcomes. The concern for the environment based on tawhid (monotheism) integrated into the curriculum is also a form of human piety, and Islamic higher education has the task of producing graduates who have insan kamil personalities. As an implication, Islamic higher education must contribute to reducing the impact of global warming through tawhid-based green learning included in curriculum and lecture materials.

The accumulation of toxic elements in vegetables and melons grown in agriculture, Brassica rapa - turnip, Solanum lycopersicum - tomato, Citrullus lanatus - watermelon, Capsicum annuum - bell pepper, Daucus carota - carrots, Cucurbita pepo - pumpkin, Cucumis melo - melon, and also Prunus armeniaca - apricot from fruit trees were analyzed. The excess of maximum allowable concentrations in agricultural crops of the element As by 1.65-1.75, Cd - 1.6-2.3, Cr -1.2-2.35, Cu -1.6-3.3, Ni - 1.16-3.53, Pb - 1.54-3.08, Al - 1.36-3.5, Sb - 2.0-33, Se - 1.1-3.3 times was established. The maximum allowable concentration of mercury in vegetables and melons was equal to 0.02 mg/kg, and in the chosen plants this indicator was close to the maximum allowable concentration (MAC). An ecological series of vegetable and melon crops (tomatoes → pumpkin → turnips → bell peppers → melons → watermelons → carrots) has been developed for their placement on fields contaminated with heavy metals Se, As, Pb, Cd, Zn, included in the first class in terms of the degree of danger to human health, while Ni, Cu, Cr metals were from the second class, and metal Mn from the third class. Agricultural crops in the ecological series are placed in inverse proportion to the regularities of the hyper accumulation of heavy metals in them.
