Published: November 2024

The aim of this study is to examine the perceptions of organisational power distance and mushroom management of Physical Education Teachers according to their demographic characteristics. For this purpose, physical education teachers working in public and private schools in the province of Istanbul in the 2023-2024 academic year participated voluntarily. In the study, "personal information form", "Organisational Power Distance Scale" developed by Yorulmaz, Çolak, Altınkurt and Yılmaz (2018) and "Mushroom Management Scale" developed by Birincioğlu and Tekin (2018) were used. SPSS 25 package programme was used to analyse the data obtained. As a result of the normality test of the data obtained in the study, it was determined that the data showed normal distribution. Accordingly, the independent sample T-test and one-way ANOVA analysis were applied to the study. According to the findings of the study, it was determined that the mean organisational power distance scores of male teachers were higher than female teachers. As another result, in the inadequate communication subdimension of the mushroom management scale, the mean scores of teachers aged 30 and over were significantly higher than those of teachers aged 22-25. It was determined that teachers working in private schools had a high level of organisational power distance. It is thought that physical education teachers working in public schools can have more participation and voice through teachers' unions and other rights-seeking mechanisms, which leads them to perceive power distance lower.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0715/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Science 2008, keep an eye on the Particulate Matter (PM 2.5) toxic dust situation including any chemical, physical, or biological agent mixture of solid and liquid particles suspended in the air. It has affected the health of Thai people with over 10 million patients each period in a year. The Thai government needs to solve the problem of PM2.5 dust pollution at its sources seriously. The effects of global and climate change are affected to impact the threat to human health by human activities in short-middle-and long terms: Spiration System Affected, Lung Cancer, Carcinogenicity, Brain Threats, Heart Hazards diseases. Creative the Document Research Methodology data was reviewed, the Qualitative Research method data was interviewed and observed, and the independent and dependent variables were associated with 400 populaces who used to be sick with PM2.5 dust in 2023. Creating The 36-item Questionnaire on Populaces and PM2.5 Affected Interaction (QPPAI) in six scales; each scale consisted of 6 items in five options (Never-Always); and the 10-item Attitudes on Solving-Problem PM2.5 Toxic Dust (ASPTD). These instruments are valid and reliable. The participants’ responses reveal that they know how to protect themselves from PM2.5 dust and get support from the government (KPSG), they understand the effects of PM2.5 toxic dust, which can be inhaled deep into the respiratory tract and lungs (UETD), their receiving care from the government for being a patient with PM2.5 dust pollution (RCGP), most of the participants are understanding of effects of PM2.5 toxic dust (UETD), however, their awareness of news from the media or government organizations for groups at risk of danger from PM2.5 dust, receiving advice on care and treatment (AGAT), and this situation has in shock because they don’t yet understand the health effects of PM2.5 dust on the respiratory system and lungs (UHER), respectively. The results have found that the R2 value indicates that 61% of the variance in populaces’ perceptions of their attitudes to the government policies was attributable to their perceptions of the health effects of the PM2.5 toxic dust pollution in the air environment. They are supported significantly by government policies.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0773/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: November 2024

Sleep problems in individuals with developmental disabilities pose significant challenges for them and their families. This paper aims to examine the types of sleep problems in these individuals, the causes of these issues, and their impact on daily life. Through the analysis of available literature and research conducted on a sample of 67 individuals with special needs and their parents, data are obtained on the prevalence of sleep problems, influential factors, and methods for coping with them. The results show that sleep problems in individuals with developmental disabilities are significant and can seriously impact their quality of life. More than 70% of parents state that the lack of sleep negatively affects their daily life and professional activities. The main causes of sleep problems have been identified as sensory disturbances, melatonin deficiency, and other health issues related to the child's condition. Additionally, 73.4% of parents report that they cope with their children's sleep problems independently. These findings suggest a need for improved strategies and interventions for managing sleep in individuals with developmental disabilities, including enhanced support for parents. The significance of these findings lies in highlighting the need for the development of specialized programs and interventions that will help improve the quality of life for these individuals and their families.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0153/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
CYBERSECURITY PRACTICES AND FRAUD PREVENTION AMONG GHANAIAN TELECOMMUNICATION FIRMS, A MIXED METHOD ANALYSIS
Authors: Agyapong Kwakye , Boakye Isaac 
Published: November 2024

This study explores the effectiveness of cybersecurity practices in preventing fraud within Ghanaian telecommunication firms, adopting a qualitative research approach to gain in-depth insights into the challenges and strategies involved. By focusing on the perspectives of key personnel directly involved in cybersecurity and fraud prevention, the study aims to uncover critical factors influencing the success of these practices. A case study design is employed, examining cybersecurity implementation across five major telecommunication firms in Ghana. The sample consists of 15 participants, including IT managers, cybersecurity officers, and fraud prevention specialists, selected through purposive sampling to ensure relevant and insightful data collection. Semi-structured interviews are used as the primary data collection method, allowing participants to provide detailed and nuanced information on their experiences with cybersecurity measures. Thematic analysis is employed to identify key patterns and themes within the data, highlighting the role of insider threats, regulatory frameworks, and employee behavior in contributing to fraud. The findings indicate that while robust technical measures such as encryption, multi-factor authentication, and intrusion detection systems play a significant role in reducing fraud, challenges in enforcement, compliance, and employee behavior remain critical barriers. The study concludes that a holistic approach, combining technical solutions with organizational culture improvements and stronger regulatory enforcement, is essential for enhancing cybersecurity effectiveness in Ghana’s telecommunication sector. Recommendations are made for improving incident response times, regulatory support, and employee training programs, as well as fostering greater collaboration between firms and regulatory bodies to strengthen fraud prevention efforts.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0709/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Konstantopoulou Georgia , Rapatzikou Konstantina , Karnampatidis Panagiotis , Karaivazoglou Katerina , Georgiou Eliza 
Published: November 2024

<p><strong>Background and Purpose: </strong>In recent years, the incidence of child sexual abuse (CSA) has significantly increased, particularly among younger children. Such traumatic experiences can have profound and long-lasting effects on a child's mental health, often leading to an increased risk of developing disorders such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This study aims to investigate the comorbidity of depression and PTSD in children who have experienced sexual abuse. The primary objective is to examine whether these two disorders frequently coexist in children subjected to CSA.<strong> Method: </strong>This study follows the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and employs a systematic review methodology. No statistical analysis methods were utilized. The research sample also included adolescents, providing a broader understanding of the effects of CSA across different age groups.<strong> Results: </strong>The findings revealed a strong correlation between child sexual abuse and the comorbidity of depression and PTSD, indicating that children who have been sexually abused are at a heightened risk of developing both disorders simultaneously.<strong> Conclusion: </strong>Children who have experienced sexual abuse are highly likely to develop both depression and PTSD. However, further research is necessary to deepen our understanding of this comorbidity and to explore effective interventions.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0791/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
concepções de língua presentes em um material didático de língua portuguesa: uma análise a partir dos conceitos foucaultianos de enunciado e de função enunciativa
Authors: Rosa César Morais 
Published: November 2024

Neste trabalho, utilizamos as reflexões teórico-metodológicas de Foucault (2008) para descrever e para analisar as diferentes concepções sobre língua presentes no livro didático de Língua Portuguesa Estudos da Linguagem (FTD, 2021), voltado para o ensino médio. Esse processo permitiu-nos examinar, em diálogo com a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), a aparição, a conexão, a incorporação e a manifestação de três abordagens distintas de língua como objeto científico: uma influenciada por Saussure, outra por Jakobson e uma terceira por Chomsky. Também chegamos à conclusão de que a BNCC não contempla todos os conceitos científicos sobre língua e de que há uma presença subentendida da teoria de Saussure em uma das competências do documento.
Interactive Distance E-learning for Isolated Communities
Authors: Crumb Stephen , Twyford Kylie , Littler Margaret 
Published: November 2024

This paper provides information on the policy strand of an investigation into the Australian Research Council Linkage research project into 'interactive distance elearning‘ [IDeL] following the introduction in New South Wales and in the Northern Territory of Australia of satellite-supported two-way broad-band internet services for school-age and adult distance education. The 'policy strand‘ context is the expansion and reform of educational services to these communities. One key conceptual development, explored on the basis of early data collection, is that of the shared nature of the IDL project, between governments and between public and private sectors. In particular, this is being explored within the concept of 'knot-working'; that is, how the project has built up a distributed network of expertise. This aspect of the presentation draws upon the concept of communities of practice. The attraction of this approach is reinforced by the notion that leadership development is best facilitated in situated learning contexts and that participants desire development support from 'fellow travellers' rather than designated experts. The concept of learning from 'fellow travellers' is central to the notion of 'communities of practice' (Wenger, 1998).

Abstract. Perennial-based buffer strips have been promoted as having the potential for improving ecosystem services from riparian areas while producing biomass as livestock feed or as a bioenergy feedstock. Both biomass production and nutrient removal of buffer strips are substantially influenced by the vegetation types for the multipurpose perennial buffers. In this 2016–2019 study in western Illinois, two perennial cropping systems, including forage crops composed of cool-season grass mixtures (forage system) and bioenergy crops made up of warm-season grass mixtures (bioenergy system), were used to establish buffer strips for assessing biomass production, feedstock quality, nutrient removal, and buffer longevity. Treatments for this study reflecting agronomic practices included (1) two harvests occurring in summer (at anthesis) and fall (after complete senescence) and (2) one harvest in fall for the forage system (two-cut vs. one-cut forage) and (3) one fall harvest for the bioenergy system (one-cut bioenergy). Successively harvesting without any fertilizer input resulted in a yield decline in forage biomass over 3 years by approximately 30 % (6.3 to 4.4 Mg DM ha−1 (dry matter) with a rate of 1.0 Mg ha−1 yr−1) in the two-cut forage and by 35 % (4.9 to 3.2 Mg DM ha−1 with a rate of 0.9 Mg ha−1 yr−1) in the one-cut forage systems. The feed quality also decreased over the years by showing declined rates of 12.9 (crucial protein), 0.9 (calcium), 0.7 (copper), and 1.3 g kg−1 DM yr−1 (zinc). Empirical models predicted enteric CH4 emissions from cattle ranged from 225.7 to 242.6 g per cow per day based on the feed nutritive values. In contrast, bioenergy biomass yield increased by 27 % from 4.9 to 6.7 Mg DM ha−1 with a consistent quality (cellulose of ∼ 397.9 g kg−1; hemicellulose of ∼ 299.4 g kg−1), corresponding to the increased total theoretical ethanol yield from 1.8 × 103 to 2.4 × 103 L ha−1 (∼ 33 % increase). Annual nutrient removals of N, P, K, Ca, and Mg were significantly higher in the forage systems (e.g., two-cut: 52.6–106.9 kg N ha−1; one-cut: 44.5–84.1 kg N ha−1) than those in the bioenergy system (e.g., 25.9–34.4 kg N ha−1); however, the removal rate declined rapidly over 3 years (e.g., ∼ 49 % reduction) as the annual biomass yield declined in the forage systems. This on-farm field study demonstrated the potential of the perennial crop used as buffer strip options for biomass production and buffer sustainability at the edge of the field.
The impact of preceding convection on the development of Medicane Ianos and the sensitivity to sea surface temperature

Published: November 2024

Abstract. Medicane Ianos in September 2020 was one of the strongest medicanes observed in the last 25 years. It was, like other medicanes, a very intense cyclone evolving from a baroclinic mid-latitude low into a tropical-like cyclone with an axisymmetric warm core. The dynamical elements necessary to improve the predictability of Ianos are explored with the use of simulations with the Met Office Unified Model (MetUM) at 2.2 km grid spacing for five different initialisation times, from 4 to 2 d before Ianos's landfall. Simulations are also performed with the sea surface temperature (SST) uniformly increased and decreased by 2 K from analysis to explore the impact of enhanced and reduced sea surface fluxes on Ianos's evolution. All the simulations with +2 K SST are able to simulate Medicane Ianos, albeit too intensely. The simulations with control SST initialised at the two earliest times fail to capture intense preceding precipitation events at the right locations and the subsequent development of Ianos. Amongst the simulations with −2 K SST, only the one initialised at the latest time develops the medicane. Links between sea surface fluxes and upper-level baroclinic processes are investigated. We find three elements that are important for Ianos's development. First, an area of low-valued potential vorticity (PV), termed a “low-PV bubble”, formed within a trough above where Ianos developed; diabatic heating associated with a preceding precipitation event triggered a balanced divergent flow in the upper levels, which contributed to the creation and maintenance of this low-PV bubble as shown by results from a semi-geostrophic inversion tool. Second, a quasi-geostrophic ascent was forced by middle and upper levels during Ianos's cyclogenesis. It is partially associated with the geostrophic vorticity advection, which is enhanced by the growth and advection of the low-PV bubble. Third, diabatic heating dominated by deep convection formed a vertical PV tower during Ianos's intensification and continued to produce diabatically induced divergent outflow aloft, thus sustaining Ianos’s development. Simulations missing any of these three elements do not develop Medicane Ianos. Our results imply the novel finding that preceding convection was essential for the subsequent development of Ianos, highlighting the importance of the interactions between near-surface small-scale diabatic processes and the upper-level quasi-geostrophic flow. A warmer SST strengthens the processes and thus enables Ianos to be predicted in simulations initiated at the earlier times.
