Authors: Merina Bresca , Sholahuddin Agus , Sukowati Praptining 
Published: September 2023

The importance of women's empowerment in poverty alleviation programs in eastern Indonesia became the main objective of the research. This research aims to identify the approaches to empowering indigenous Papuan women in Yoboy Village, Jayapura. In addition, this research aims to find out the supporting and inhibiting factors in this empowerment. Indigenous Papuan women are a group of indigenous peoples from Indonesia. Several factors diminish the role of women in Jayapura, such as poverty, domestic violence, and the difficulty of self-reliance. Yoboy village has limited options for economic facilities. Therefore, this research conducted Andrew Barlette's Empowerment Theory as an analysis tool. The data collection techniques in this qualitative research were conducted by observation, interview and documentation. Three entry points must be completed to optimize empowerment in poor communities. This research indicated that the empowerment of indigenous Papuan women is also applied through participation, self-reliance, and partnership techniques. The creativity and self-confidence of indigenous Papuan women have made these empowerment programs successful. However, business capital, lack of concern, and cooperation among indigenous Papuan women have become inhibiting factors in empowerment. Therefore, the empowerment of indigenous Papuan women still requires developing and strengthening various programs. The participation of partnerships is one of the important keys to this development.

Privacy vs Security: A Critical Review of Albanian Law and Citizen Rights
Authors: Konini Ivas , Rokaj Iv 
Published: September 2023

The present study contends that the lack of an exhaustive legal framework regulating the installation, use, and storage of data obtained from surveillance cameras poses a threat to public order and society in Albania. While security cameras can aid in preventing crime and enhancing citizens’ safety, privacy concerns raised by surveillance must not be overlooked. Therefore, a balance between security and privacy should be set, and the legal regulations law must clearly define the purpose of the installation of cameras, delimiting security measures to accomplish their intended purpose. The actual main law for this area is titled “On Additional Measures for Public Security” and was passed by the Parliament on 2016. This law provides a good start for further progress if certain changes is specific areas of it can be changed. In the other hand, mere good intentions cannot serve as a justification for privacy violations and guidelines for the collection, storage, and use of data obtained from surveillance cameras must be established by this law or other regulatory means. This article highlights that the effectiveness of surveillance cameras in detecting crimes is limited, especially for those that are covert and sophisticated. As such, the law should provide clear instructions on the collection, storage, and utilization of data acquired through surveillance cameras to avoid unintended consequences and privacy violations. Ultimately, this research underscores the importance of balancing public safety with individual privacy rights in wiretapping and camera surveillance in Albania.

Several studies have examined the challenges affecting the smooth implementation of inclusive education; focusing on resource inadequacies. However, these studies primarily relied on descriptive statistics: describing resource availability but not assessing their impact on policy implementation. The current study addresses this gap by analysing the extent of critical resource supply for implementing inclusive education and its influence on policy implementation. A descriptive survey design was adopted, targeting 281 principals from public secondary schools across three educational zones in Cross River State. Stratified proportionate sampling was used in selecting 120 principals as the sample. Data collection involved a structured questionnaire with an acceptable validity and a reliability indices. Descriptive statistics were used to answer the research questions, and Simple and multiple linear regression were used to test the hypotheses at the .05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed low supply levels of physical, human, and financial resources for implementing inclusive education in secondary schools. The extent of inclusive education implementation was also found to be low. The study further indicated that the supply of physical, human, and financial resources collectively affected policy implementation, with physical resources having a greater impact. These results have practical implications for the government and stakeholders; emphasising the need for adequate physical, human, and financial resources to implement inclusive education in secondary schools.

Investigation the Association Between the Moroccan High School Chemistry Program and Students’ Reasoning
Authors: Mennani Mourad , Raouf Khadija , Khyati Abderrahim 
Published: September 2023

In this study, we discuss the achievements of learners and their abilities to mobilize these achievements in solving complex and everyday life situations. For this purpose, we analyzed the institutional guidelines for the teaching of chemistry, in particular redox transformations and some related concepts. Then, we developed a test targeting two categories of items: the first category covers epistemic aspects while the second goes over the mobilization of redox knowledge in everyday life. This test was administered to a sample of high school students. The results of this empirical research indicate that these learners only master some fragmented knowledge and therefore they cannot mobilize it in an integrated way in everyday situations. The analysis shows that the majority of the difficulties identified can be interpreted by a poor appropriation of chemical concepts related to the microscopic structure of the substance. The difficulties encountered could stem from the structure of the program recommended in the curriculum and the methods of assessing learning. Indeed, our content analysis reveals that the didactic transposition operated for the conceptualization of the concepts related to chemical transformations rather favors the memorization of declarative and procedural knowledge. Moreover, the construction of knowledge follows a linear and not a spiral progression. The current research explores these empirical findings and proposes implications for content progression, learning and assessment of learning.

Authors: Syahril Syahril , Sulastri Sulastri , Afriansyah Hade , Ningrum Tia Ayu , Febrianti Sari 
Published: September 2023

Post-pandemic conditions are the phenomena requiring reconstruction in improving human resources in schools, due to the observation of various issues emanating from a lack of dedication to work, such as sloppy teaching, absences, failure to provide instructional materials, etc. This leads to the need for school administrators to intervene by providing incentives and support. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effects of incentives and job responsibilities on school administrators in West Sumatra, through several demographic factors, such as gender, previous education, and institution location. In this study, a total of 110 principals containing 86 males and 24 females were obtained from various West Sumatra schools as the experimental sample. This indicated that 31.8% and 68.2% of the sample had bachelor's and master's degrees regarding their educational backgrounds, respectively. The scales of rewards (21 items) and work commitment (32 items) were also implemented, with JASP software used to perform a descriptive analysis of the data. The results showed that 52.8% and 32.7% of the administrators moderately and highly provided teachers with incentives and work commitment, respectively. In this case, no principals had medium, low, or extremely low job commitments, demonstrating that being a school administrator required a high or very great level of dedication.

Published: September 2023

The main objective of this study was to assess the effects of e-learning on the motivation and academic success of Jordanian university students from different disciplines, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic era. The research further delved into understanding the role of e-learning tools, strategies, and teacher-student interactions in influencing these outcomes. The study explored the effects of e-learning on students' motivation across various disciplines. It sought to discern how e-learning strategies and teacher-student interactions affect students' enthusiasm and academic success. A questionnaire was electronically disseminated to 244 students from multiple Jordanian university faculties. Results indicated that e-learning positively influenced students' motivation. The convenience and easy access to resources were reasons students preferred e-learning. It also offered them self-learning avenues, enabling them to develop crucial skills and expand their viewpoints. The diverse educational techniques in e-learning further boosted their eagerness to learn. The study also found that e-learning supported consistent lesson engagement and boosted academic performance. The flexibility of studying at preferred locations elevated their overall results. Effective teacher-student communication emerged as pivotal for e-learning's success. Interactions with instructors during this phase had a favorable effect on their motivation and academic results. The study identified the compelling delivery of content and captivating teaching techniques as primary motivators. Consequently, a key recommendation is to emphasize creating and using interactive e-learning resources and activities, including multimedia, interactive tests, gamification, and group tasks. Such interactive methods can maintain student engagement, support autonomous learning, and nurture a communal spirit in the digital learning space.

Comparative Analysis of The Effectiveness of Punishment Over Corruption in Indonesia and Hong Kong
Authors: Cahyani Tinuk Dwi , Md. Said Muhamad Helmi , Hassan Muhamad Sayuti 
Published: September 2023

This research aims to compare the effectiveness of punishment imposed on corruption as a crime in Indonesia and Hong Kong. The normative method was employed by conducting library research in the process of data searching, where the authors read and studied the primary and secondary research data. The analysis result concludes that Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 1999 on Corruption Eradication and Law Number 20 of 2001 on the Amendment to Law Number 31 of 1999 on Corruption Eradication and Law Number 30 of 2002 on Corruption Eradication Commission deal with corruption crimes. Moreover, Indonesia establishes an official body particularly intended to deal with corruption investigations, the Corruption Eradication Commission (henceforth referred to as KPK). In comparison, Hong Kong also governs corruption cases using the Independent Commission Against Corruption Ordinance, Prevention of Bribery Ordinance, and the Elections (Corrupt and Illegal Conduct) Ordinance. Further, Hong Kong has Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) as an institution fully authorized to investigate corruption cases. The KPK and ICAC share a similar strategic model but employ different ways of execution. From the effectiveness of the law perspective, Hong Kong seems to demonstrate a more effective approach since the real and deterring sentence is directly imposed on the case to encourage others to think twice before committing corruption. The sentencing in Hong Kong was once lambasted and condemned since it was perceived as violating human rights, but it seems to be the only way for Hong Kong to eradicate corruption effectively. This research recommends that another amendment to Law Number 20 of 2001 on Corruption Eradication.

Social Media Use and Student Politics in Ugandan Universities
Authors: Winyi Solomon , Omach Paul , Makara Sabiti 
Published: September 2023

Social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp are essential in university students' daily politics. In Uganda, where the university administration and the Ugandan regime limit party politics, students have turned to social media to share political messages, acquire political knowledge, create public opinion, and mobilize peers. Some university administrations have prohibited partisan politics, and the regime has used legal frameworks such as the Public Order Management Act 2013 to prevent the opposition from recruiting and mobilizing students. The purpose of the paper was to investigate the role of social media on student politics, specifically guild elections, at four regionally selected universities. The study used a mixed method approach, including 12 in-depth interviews, a survey of 182 students, and documentary reviews. The findings highlight two significant issues: First, social media use constantly influences politics during election season and throughout the year. Second, given the constraints imposed by the university administration and the regime, social media has given students an alternative political platform.

Authors: Chaile Cecilia , Lantos Irene , Maier Marta , Cassiodoro Gisela , Tessone Augusto 
Published: September 2023

En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de un estudio sobre los usos de la tecnología cerámica en los grupos cazadores recolectores del centro-oeste de la provincia de Santa Cruz, Argentina, hacia fines del Holoceno tardío. Para tal fin se realizaron análisis de isótopos estables y la caracterización química de residuos orgánicos recuperados de tiestos cerámicos arqueológicos. Los resultados de los análisis isotópicos indicaron que en general el origen de los residuos adheridos fueron los animales de estepa, mientras que en una sola muestra se detectó además la posible presencia de residuos de origen vegetal. Por otra parte, los perfiles de ácidos grasos y esteroles de las muestras arqueológicas fueron muy similares a aquel de la muestra de referencia de guanaco (Lama guanicoe). Se detectaron también biomarcadores moleculares de animal rumiante (ácidos grasos impares tanto lineales como ramificados) semejantes a los presentes en la grasa de guanaco. En ninguno de los casos se observó un aporte de aceites vegetales en los residuos lipídicos absorbidos. De esta manera, toda la evidencia arqueométrica apunta a que las cerámicas fueron usadas para la extracción de grasa de guanaco por los grupos cazadores recolectores del centro-oeste de Santa Cruz.
