Assessing 5P as a Proper Conceptual Framework for Sustainability Reporting: Case Study from Indonesia’s Energy Sector

The launching of UN SDGs and 2030 resolution has sparked a new concept and perspective regarding the problem that we faced right now. The framework explicitly mention 5P as the main pillars of SDG while having the same characteristics as triple bottom line, with addition of peace and partnership aspects. This research uses purposive sampling to gain a proper sample from Indonesia's energy sector from 2020-2022. Data extracted from company's sustainability report using content analysis approach with several criteria. The number then fitted into a model with PLS-SEM and analysed using path coefficient and significance of p value. Some company disclosed more sustainability information through their sustainability report compared to the other. Planet aspect are having a positive and significant correlation, with People and Prosperity having a positive but not significant correlation and Peace and Partnership are having a negative and insignificant correlation. This study needs to be confirmed or re-evaluate by other researcher to further justify the proposition of the new concept, namely 5P.

The evolution of customer engagement in the digital era for business: A review and future research agenda

ABSTRACT This study explores the evolution of customer engagement in the digital era for businesses, a crucial concept in today’s interconnected marketplace facilitated by a variety of digital platforms. The study identifies a gap in the comprehensive understanding and conceptualisation of digital customer engagement across various social media platforms and mediums. By using a bibliometric analysis approach, this study reviews 547 articles published between 2010 and 2021, offering a holistic view of the existing research landscape. The analysis uncovers four distinct bibliometric clusters representing unique facets of customer engagement: brand engagement, behavioural insights, loyalty dynamics, and relationship dynamics. These clusters provide insights into the multifaceted nature of customer relationships and engagements facilitated by digital platforms.

إثبات المخالفات التأديبية اثناء التحقيق الإداري على ضوء نظام الخدمة المدنية الأردني رقم 9 لسنة 2020 (دراسة مقارنة)

Objectives: this study sheds light on disciplinary evidence and defines its features to ascertain if an employee has committed a disciplinary violation while carrying out his job duties. It demonstrates how the Administrative Investigation Committee can establish the burden of proof. Further, the study offers crucial recommendations for the Jordanian legislator to perform its duties effectively. Research Problem: the adequacy of organising special rules of evidence before the Administrative Investigation Committee to detect behavioural violations. The Jordanian legislator addressed these rules in Article 146/b/2 of the Jordanian civil service Bylaw No. 9 of 2020. However, these rules are not integrated, as it is assumed that the administration has complete evidence of claims of behavioural violations. It does not have the right to accuse the employee of deviating from his job mandate without evidence. The employee is also entitled to present evidence refuting such claims. Thus, it falls to investigation committees to search for the necessary evidence to clarify the truth. The study demonstrates the legislator’s lack of interest in the rules that deal with evidentiary evidence in disciplinary violations and the failure of the Jordanian legislation to organise evidence to detect violations committed by public servants. Methods: this study adopts a descriptive and analytical approach that compares the Jordanian, Egyptian and Emirati legislation concerning the rules of evidence. Results and Conclusions: the paper concludes by with the following results such as: Jordanian civil service Bylaw fails to organise the means of evidence and administrative papers, as the legislator did not explicitly grant the Administrative Investigation Committee the authority to review documents related to the violation. In contrast, they were expressly formulated in the Egyptian and Emirati legislations. As well as, the Jordanian legislator did not deal with the method of inspection before the administrative investigation committee in the Civil Service Bylaw, unlike the Egyptian legislator who regulated that method in the law and provided instructions to the Administrative Prosecution. Such was also the case for the UAE federal legislator within the framework of the executive regulations of the human resources law in the federal government. -

Experiences of Afghan-Canadian language and cultural advisors who served with Canadian forces abroad: an interpretive phenomenological analysis

Though much research has been conducted on the potential well-being effects of deployment on armed forces members, a significant gap seems to exist in the literature when it comes to its effect on conflict-zone interpreters. Drawing on the experiences of six former Afghan-Canadian Language and Cultural Advisors (LCAs), this paper aims to contribute to expanding the nascent literature on conflict-zone interpreters by exploring how former LCAs perceive their experiences before, during, and after their deployment and the resulting impacts on their well-being. Interested in an in-depth exploration of the experiences of former LCAs, this study employed an interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) approach. Through the analysis, four superordinate themes emerged in participants’ narratives including: (1) the right opportunity, referring to the reasons for becoming an LCA; (2) overcoming challenges, when it comes to the work itself; (3) deserving better, relating to the experience returning to post-service life; and (4) moving forward, speaking to the current reality of participants. The results reveal key insights into the unique experiences and support needs of former Afghan-Canadian LCAs included in the study, offering an in-depth account of their experience before, during and after their service. The findings also offer important considerations regarding the support available not just to interpreters but to all contractors deployed in conflict-zones.

The effect of online argumentation activities workshop on pre-service science teachers’ climate change awareness

The aim of this study is to increase pre-service science teachers’ awareness of climate change through online argumentation activities. The study prepared pre-service training content based on online argumentation to increase climate change awareness. For the training, activities were prepared based on online argumentation for the sub-dimensions of climate change, which are content knowledge, awareness of the effects of climate change, awareness of personal initiatives, awareness of industrial initiatives, and tendencies towards preventing climate change. Expert opinions were taken about the activities and then they were finalized. Data was collected through an open-ended questionnaire applied as pre- and post-test. 32 pre-service science teachers from 22 different universities across Türkiye participated in the online training. The climate change awareness form was applied before and after the training. Data was analyzed using a content analysis approach. As a result of the study, it was observed that there was a significant difference in the pre-service teachers’ content knowledge of climate change, and they provided more justifications in the sub-dimensions of climate change awareness after the training, and their awareness increased.

Digital media’s portrayal of climate change challenges during COP27 climate summit

The study aims to investigate how digital media frame and present environmental issues and challenges of climate change in terms of four environmental and climate challenges: mitigation, adaptation, finance, and collaboration. The study also seeks to understand the extent that government bodies mobilize digital media to disseminate and promote necessary environmental challenges during COP27 climate summit in Egypt. The study uses the discourse analysis approach to define the key themes and issues that are portrayed and to understand how digital platforms reflected the conference agenda and climate change challenges. We analyzed 119 posts and news reports published on the conference website and Instagram account during November 2022. Results revealed that the platforms framed challenges of climate change during COP27 in many ways: the opportunity to find solutions, the urgency to address climate issues, and taking immediate actions in terms of transparency, adequate finance, ease of support flow, cooperation, participation, and youth involvement. Furthermore, the data indicate that the finance challenge has a strong relationship with all themes and challenges presented and discussed on the platforms. This indicates that African countries benefited from hosting COP27 by presenting their environmental concerns, the financial, and technological challenges they face in order to obtain global support.

Exploring Blind and Visually Impaired Students’ Views on How to Improve Physical Education

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore blind and visually impaired students’ opinions on ways to improve physical education. Method: Twenty-two blind and visually impaired youth (age 12–17 years) completed one-to-one interviews. Three themes were constructed using a reflexive thematic analysis approach. Findings: The first theme depicted participants’ views that physical education was a break during the day that did not have educational benefits. In the second theme, the participants highlighted communication and collaboration as important elements that could improve their experiences. The final theme centered on the nonexistent, insufficient, or demoralizing nature of seldom existing accommodations. Discussion: Blind and visually impaired students noted aspects of curriculum content, communication, and accommodations in physical education that may be changed to enhance their experiences, which largely centered on their physical educators’ behaviors.

Do depressed people with subjective psychomotor retardation show a different symptomatic pattern? A network analysis approach using a cross-national sample

Background and objectivesPsychomotor retardation (PMR) has been associated with worse clinical course in depressed people. Explanations for this finding remain inconclusive. This study aimed to analyse whether depressed people with subjective PMR might show a different symptomatic pattern and to describe their clinical and sociodemographic profiles. MethodsA total of 1024 participants from Finland, Spain and Poland, part of the “COURAGE in Europe” Project who screened positive for a depressive episode according to International Classification of Diseases-10 (ICD-10) criteria using the World Health Organization Composite International Diagnostic Interview 3.0 (CIDI 3.0), were included. Two group networks of depressive symptoms were estimated according to the presence (555 people) and absence (469 people) of subjective PMR. Measures of strength and betweenness of depressive symptoms were explored. ResultsPeople with subjective PMR showed a higher number of symptoms (11.30 (±2.67) versus 9.26 (±2.77)) and global disability score (38.30 (±26.41) versus 19.59 (±19.31) than people without subjective PMR. Although no difference was found in the global structure (M-Test=1.531; p = 0.994) nor the global strength (S-Test=0.248; p = 0.954) of depressed symptoms between depressed people with and without subjective PMR, differences were found in the type of central symptoms; “Restlessness/Jitters” (p = 0.01) and “Early Wake-Up” (p = 0.02) were relevant for the subjective PMR group. These two symptoms worked as bridge items between other depressive symptoms specifically for depressed people with subjective PMR. ConclusionsOur results confirm that subjective PMR in depression is associated with higher severity of symptoms and disability. Depressed People with subjective PMR might show a different pattern of nuclear symptoms. Suicidal attempt, early wake-up and restlessness could be high-priority targets in the treatment of depressed people with subjective PMR.

Generalized Quasi-Static Mooring System Modeling with Analytic Jacobians

This paper presents a generalized and efficient method for quasi-static analysis of mooring systems, including complex scenarios such as when shared mooring lines interconnect multiple floating wind or wave energy devices. While quasi-static mooring models are well established, most published formulations are focused on specific applications, and no publicly available implementations provide efficient handling of large mooring system networks. The present formulation addresses these gaps by: (1) formulating solutions for edge cases not typically supported by quasi-static models; (2) creating a fully generalized model structure such that any combination of mooring lines, point masses, and floating bodies can be assembled; and (3) deriving analytic expressions for the system Jacobians (stiffness matrices) so that systems with many degrees of freedom can be solved efficiently. These techniques form the theory basis of MoorPy, an open-source mooring analysis library. The model is demonstrated on nine scenarios of increasing complexity with features of interest for offshore renewable energy applications. When compared with steady-state results from a lumped-mass dynamic model, the results show that the quasi-static formulation accurately calculates profiles and tensions and that its analytic approach provides more efficient and reliable computation of system stiffness matrices than finite-differencing methods. These results verify the accuracy of the MoorPy model.

Integrating Qualitative Content and Narrative Analysis: A Five-Step Approach

The integration of different analytical approaches allows harnessing their respective benefits. Nonetheless, the integration of varied methods is challenging, primarily due to the scarcity of comprehensive guidelines for such complex analyses. This paper introduces a five-step approach for combining two distinct research methods: qualitative content analysis and narrative analysis as a useful tool for researchers working under critical realist paradigm, or those who just wish to use both – categorizing and connecting approaches – in their research analysis. Qualitative content analysis plays a crucial role in categorizing insights from data. However, an exclusive reliance on content analysis might result in the loss of important contextual aspects associated with these insights. Consequently, narrative analysis becomes valuable, as it enables linking diverse elements in the data, such as the subject of study, its context, associated events, and identified categories. The process of combining the qualitative content analysis and narrative analysis method introduced in the current study was formulated during a doctoral research project within a critical realist paradigm, which necessitated a thorough consideration of both the subject matter and its context. In response to the absence of guidelines for combining content and narrative analysis, the author developed and tested a unique process during her research project. Employing the suggested approach of connecting content and narrative analysis can assist researchers, particularly those applying the critical realist paradigm in the process of generating contextually situated yet generalisable results. From a practical standpoint, innovative research methods and more comprehensive insights from academic studies enhance our understanding of various patterns in the business and management landscape.

Back to Normal? Harnessing Long Short-term Memory Network to Examine the Associations Between Adolescent Social Interactions and Depressive Symptoms During Different Stages of COVID-19.

Adolescence is a developmental period in which social interactions are critical for mental health. While the onset of COVID-19 significantly disrupted adolescents' social environments and mental health, it remains unclear how adolescents have adapted to later stages of the pandemic. We harnessed a machine learning architecture of Long Short-Term Memory recurrent networks (LSTM) with gradient-based feature importance, to model the association among daily social interactions and depressive symptoms during three stages of the pandemic. A year before COVID-19, 148 adolescents reported social interactions and depressive symptoms, every day for 21days. One hundred sixteen of these youths completed a 28-day diary after schools closed due to COVID-19. Seventy-nine of these youths and additional 116 new participants completed a 28-day diary approximately a year into the pandemic. Our results show that LSTM successfully predicted depressive symptoms from at least a week of social interactions for all three waves (r2 > .70). Our study shows the utility of using an analytic approach that can identify temporal and nonlinear pathways through which social interactions may confer risk for depression. Our unique analysis of the importance of input features enabled us to interpret the association between social interactions and depressive symptoms. Collectively, we observed a return to pre-pandemic patterns a year into the pandemic, with reduced gender and age differences during the pandemic closures. This pattern suggests that the system of social influences in adolescence was affected by COVID-19, and that this effect was attenuated in more chronic stages of the pandemic.

Towards an Inclusive Education Policy for Sustainability: Advancing the ‘Educating for Gross National Happiness’ Initiative in Bhutan

Education policies are often critiqued for short-sightedness and increasingly contended for their unsustainability. In the face of a bipolar characterisation of educational goals for economic utilitarianism and humanism with spiritual gratification, this study examines Bhutan’s Educating for Gross National Happiness (EGNH) as a policy tool. Aiming to understand whether EGNH is an inclusive, holistic, and sustainable policy instrument, this study pivots on coalesced methodological approaches of deliberative policy analysis, documentary policy reviews, and comparative policy analysis. The research design included examining the effectiveness and sustainability of the EGNH initiative through the lens of policy design. The main findings reveal that external and internal factors such as foreign policy influences, inconsistent internal policy interventions, interferences by party politics, weak policy coherence, and a lack of a comprehensive policy framework are the principal reasons for unsustainable policy gaps. This study offers valuable insights with a proposal for a comprehensive and dynamic framework to shape the future of education in the spirit of sustainability.
