Analisis Penyediaan Air Bersih di Gedung Rektorat Universitas Tanjungpura

The provision of clean water in the Tanjungpura University Rectorate Building area until now has not been analyzed for its efficiency leve. In this research, 11 buildings including the Tanjungpura University Rectorate Building were reviewed. Therefore, it is very important to analyze whether the water available in these buildings is still sufficient, given that the need for clean water will continue to change from time to time. In this final research, clean water demand for the Tanjungpura University Rectorate Building area in 2023 is predicted, and clean water usage data is taken for 1 month of working days from March to April 2023. Tanjungpura University Rectorate Building Area itself has a total of 11 buildings with 2 types of areas, namely office areas and education areas. The results of observations of 5 meters in the Tanjungpura University Rectorate Building Area that the amount of clean water usage is 688.9 m3 / month. Then the analysis of clean water demand in the Tanjungpura University Rectorate Building Area is carried out both based on the building area and the total number of clean water users in the area. The results of this study found that the effectiveness of each area is known to be different, but in total, the amount of clean water usage is smaller than the predicted amount of clean water demand. So it can be concluded that the provision of clean water in the Tanjungpura University Rectorate Building area in 2023 is effective.

Demographic differences in early vs. late-stage laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma

PurposeThis study aims to evaluate how various demographic factors impact the stage at diagnosis and, therefore, prognosis of laryngeal cancer. Materials and methodsUsing the National Cancer Database, 96,409 patients were diagnosed with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma between 2004 and 2020. Early (stage 0 or I) vs. late-stage (stage IV) cancers were compared based on demographic variables utilizing Chi-square and multivariate analysis with a significance of p < 0.05. ResultsFemale, Black, and generally older patients were more likely to have late-stage cancer than their counterparts. When compared with a community cancer program, patients treated at other facility types were more likely to be diagnosed late. Patients with private insurance, Medicare, or other government insurance were all less likely to have late-stage cancer compared to patients without insurance. Compared to patients in the lowest median household income quartile, patients in the third quartile and fourth quartile were diagnosed earlier. Patients living in an area with the lowest level of high school degree attainment were most likely to be diagnosed late. Living in a more populous area was associated with a lower chance of being diagnosed late. Increasing Charlson-Deyo Score was associated with a stronger likelihood of being diagnosed at a later stage. ConclusionPatients who are female, Black, uninsured, have a low household income, live in less populated and less educated areas, are treated at non-community cancer programs, and have more comorbid conditions have later stage diagnoses. This data contributes to understanding inequities in healthcare.

ESG Practices In Publicly Capital Construction Companies

Objective: The study aimed to qualitatively evaluate the use of ESG concepts by publicly traded Brazilian companies in the construction and development sector. Theoretical Framework: The discussion about the socio-environmental responsibility of companies has gained prominence in recent years with ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance). Considering the relevance of the construction and civil development sector to the economy, it is not exempt from the aforementioned socio-environmental responsibilities. Method: It was necessary to identify, among all the aspects involved in the concept of corporate sustainability, which were most relevant for companies in the respective segment, and then a survey was carried out to identify which practices companies adopt on a daily basis to minimize negative impacts. From the case study of the three companies chosen for the analysis, multiple examples of ESG initiatives were collected and it was possible to make a comparison between them. Results and Discussion: Company A stands out in the environmental pillar as it already offsets part of its GHG emissions. While on the social side, Companies A and B have initiatives that support projects in the education area. And in relation to governance, the three companies have positive indicators regarding independent members on the board. Research Implications: The limitations of the study are based on the superficiality of data from other companies studied during the company selection process, which do not allow for a broader analysis of the sector. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by providing support for construction companies and developers to improve their ESG practices.

Legal and institutional translator competence: developments and training implications

ABSTRACT As in other areas of translation practice and translator education, technological advances are having a considerable impact on working processes and training in legal and institutional translation. This trend has contributed to research on translator competence gaining new significance and urgency with a view to adapting curricula and training approaches to the latest professional developments in the field. This introduction to a special issue of The Interpreter and Translator Trainer on competence in legal and institutional translation reviews selected contributions that examine the integral components of legal and institutional translator competence, propose strategies to help trainees develop this competence, or analyse the impact of machine translation use and specialised training on translator competence and performance in today’s increasingly automated environments. The link between professional practice, research and the classroom is reflected in the questions posed and the enlightening responses provided in the form of valuable empirical data, examples and ideas for trainers and trainees. These insights also illustrate the relevance of a diversity of perspectives and research methods, and support a renewed sense of awareness of the critical value of specialised training itself in legal and institutional translation.

Developing and validating the construct maps to assess mathematical proficiencies

The study was aimed to develop and validate a measurement test to assess mathematical proficiencies in the numbers and algebra strand. A total of 125 seventh-grade learners with diverse learning abilities from secondary educational institutions under the management of the Khon Kaen Educational Service Area 25, Thailand was chosen as respondents. The researchers employed design-based research consisting of four building blocks to construct a prototype utilizing a construct modeling approach. Firstly, the researchers developed construct maps to identify the learners’ mathematical proficiency (MP) level. This was followed by the creation of the items of measurement test according to the proficiency levels. Next, the researchers allocated scoring measures and formed the conversion of learners’ MP stages. Lastly, the researchers validated the superiority of the measurement test through Wright map consuming the multi-dimensional random coefficient multinomial logit model. The construct maps of the MP level consisted of two dimensions, namely mathematical procedures and structure of learning outcome. Findings discovered that there were 20 items in the assessment tool and its quality passed the determined education and psychological assessment criteria. It can be determined that every item is capable to measure the learners’ multi-dimensional mathematical proficiencies.

The progress and stability of English in the French context

AbstractThe purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the present situation and the development of English in France during the past 25 years. After reviewing the expansion of English in pre‐university and higher education, and its spread in the press (Anglicisms), workplace and daily life, we come to the conclusion that English has made steady progress, in particular in the area of language education, but that its use for communicative purposes remains limited to international contexts. In most other fields, English is used for its connotative value, to evoke modernity, technological advances, coolness, educational pretense and sophistication.

단위학교 소방안전교육 인식도 분석 및 개선방안 연구

This study analyzed the perception of fire safety education methods, satisfaction, consciousness, and behavior as the risk of fire increases due to the high-rise nature, complexity, and undergroundization of new schools and the aging of older school buildings. Based on the analysis, this study proposes improvement measures such as effective fire safety education methods, support measures, and curriculum organization. Differences in perception and needs between faculty and staff were first analyzed based on data of selfawareness of fire safety education conducted for school faculty and staff in the Sejong City Office of Education. As a result, remote training was the highest in the fire safety education method, and satisfaction was in the order of teachers, administrative staff, and educational assistants. In addition, the degree of change in fire safety awareness of faculty and staff was found in the order of teachers, administrative staff, and educational assistants. The degree of change in fire safety behavior was also in the order of teachers, administrative staff, and educational assistants, and an overall low awareness was found. By analyzing these needs, the following improvement measures are suggested. First, fire safety education should be conducted based on practice and experience from the perspective of an activist curriculum to enhance the ability to respond to actual incidents involving fire safety. Second, by linking fire safety education with the seven areas of school safety education, self-directed response ability can be enhanced from the perspective of a constructivist curriculum. Third, a plan is proposed to design and operate a fire safety curriculum by specializing in fire safety education according to the role of faculty members such as teachers and administrative staff.

Towards a Learning Progression of Alternative Energy at School: A Literature Review

The enormous energy crisis due to the high demand for energy consumption leads to the need to incorporate Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the learning strategy to ensure energy-literate citizens. This study addressed the analysis of the current trends of alternative energy education in the school setting in terms of educational level scope, content area, and educational strategy. The data was gained from the Scopus database and the PRISMA method which includes the identification, screening, and inclusion phase was used. 15 articles were brought to the inclusion phase to be read and analyzed. The result highlighted that the educational level covered in alternative energy education mainly focused on secondary and university levels. It is found that at elementary and high school levels, there are insufficient amounts of alternative energy education happened. Most of the papers covered general alternative energy as the topic and the rest of the articles mainly focus on one type of alternative energy topic. Project-based learning was the most common educational strategy in teaching alternative energy and STEM learning comes as the second common. Pedagogical, professional development, problem-based learning, and virtual lab were also utilized to teach alternative energy

An Evaluation of the Spatial Repercussions of Student Mobility Policy in European Higher Education Area Using Network Analysis

The mobility of international students is a crucial tool for the European Union's goal of creating a unified European Higher Education Area. Despite the initial assumption that all European universities and students can benefit equally from cross-university study experiences, certain European regions have become disproportionately favored over time. This has resulted in specific geographical patterns, challenging the principles of equality and openness in the EU's higher education policy. To better understand these spatial effects and enhance the EU's mobility policy effectiveness, this research analyzes the network properties of Erasmus+, comparing it with traditional degree-seeking activities. Utilizing a modularity measure with data from the EU and UNESCO, the study reveals significant sub-regional variations in the Erasmus+ geographical network, posing challenges for policy implementation and limiting mobility alternatives.

Удовлетворенность базовых психологических потребностей у субъектов высшей ступени образования

When students are internally motivated, they are most likely to maintain interest in learning, to persevere in their learning, and to experience greater academic success. According to self-determination theory, internal motivation is most facilitated by the satisfaction of the person’s basic psychological needs: for autonomy, competence and relatedness. The purpose of this study is to identify the specifics of supporting students’ basic psychological needs among doctoral students in various specialties. Data collection involved administration of the Psychological Need Supports scale, which assessed the satisfaction of basic psychological needs in the context of various relationships. Respondents were 463 doctoral students in six areas of education (physics, earth sciences, biology, chemistry, mathematics, information technology). The presence of differences in the degree of satisfaction and features of support of basic psychological needs in different relationships was revealed. In general, autonomy turned out to be the most satisfied need, and the need for relatedness turned out to be the least satisfied. In the system of close relationships (friends and mother), all three basic psychological needs were supported to a greater extent than in all systems of educational relations at the university. Comparison of various systems of relations at the university among themselves showed that the need for relatedness was most supported by colleagues and a supervisor, and the need for competence was supported by colleagues, while the need for competence was least supported by a supervisor, and the need for relatedness was least supported in the context of group classes. Patterns that emerged were stable over time. There were no differences in need satisfaction based on the field of study with one exception: doctoral students majoring in physics reported higher levels of support for the needs for competence and relatedness. The results provide guidance for supporting the internal motivation among students at higher levels of education.

OVERGROWING REFUGEE PROBLEM IN LEBANON

The growing issue of Syrian refugees in Lebanon weaves tightly with Lebanon's past. It's a country with a complex history surrounding refugees, especially Palestinian refugees, and a long past with Syria. This rising refugee concern started after the Syrian Civil War. It's also tied to political, social, and economic elements that shaped Lebanon's reaction to this human crisis. Lebanon serving as a sanctuary for refugees isn't a new thing. It started before the Syrian refugee wave that came after the 2011 Civil War. The long-standing Palestinian refugee community, who've lived in Lebanon's camps for about seven decades, remarkably impacted Lebanon's view on welcoming refugees. Lebanese-Palestinian history carries weight due to the Arab-Israeli conflicts and PLO's role in the Lebanese Civil War. This past creates a hesitant, suspicious attitude in Lebanon towards refugees. It impacts how they handle the crisis of Syrian refugees. Also, the lasting stay of Syrian soldiers in Lebanon following its Civil War added tension. This, combined with Syria's large political sway, has intensified the rift between the countries. The long-term effects of this situation have stirred negativity towards Syrians and refugees in Le Banon. It's impacted both societal views and politics. It's also determined how Lebanon's government handles the necessities of Syrian refugees. Lebanon has a special governance system. It gives roles to people based on their religion. It has really influenced how they treat the refugee situation. Why? Because they're scared. They're scared about their population changing. Scared about tension between religious groups. That worry makes them hesitant in giving legal status to the refugees. They're worried that this might make the refugees want to stay longer. The past vents highlight the complex reasons for Lebanon's approach to the increasing refugee situation. The Syrian Civil War started, and Lebanon became home to roughly 1.5 million Syrian refugees. That's a ton for a place with around only 6.8 million people. Lebanon faces a massive dilemma now. It tests their shaky economy and society greatly. Lebanon's challenge is dealing with a large number of refugees. Their old residency rules make it tough. Many Syrians don't have official status. They can't work, go to school, or get healthcare. They might be taken advantage of and can't do much legally about it. Additionally, tough management hurdles, like the twice-yearly complex registration for refugees over 15, carry on their unstable situation. Various refugees, scared off by the difficult renewal steps, choose not to renew their legal status. This worsens their risk and blocks their way to vital services. The refugee crisis has had a profound and far-reaching impact on the fundamental rights and well-being of those affected, particularly in the areas of education, healthcare, and basic living conditions. These dire circumstances permeate all aspects of their lives, potentially perpetuating long-term vulnerabilities and significantly affecting their daily existence. In this context, international aid has played a crucial role in addressing the immense humanitarian needs created by Lebanon's refugee crisis. However, the necessary funds to adequately support these individuals have fallen short, resulting in approximately 54% of the required 2014 funding remaining unmet. This financial strain has only added to the already daunting challenges of providing essential support and services to the refugees.

Государственное регулирование развития малого бизнеса в социальной сфере

Social entrepreneurship as a special type of business is aimed at reducing social tension in society, ensuring employment, accessibility and variety of social services. Most social entrepreneurs in Russia belong to the category of small businesses. Improving state regulation of the development of small social entrepreneurship helps to reduce the severity of social problems and strengthen interaction between the state and business on this issue. The purpose of the article is to assess trends in the development of small social entrepreneurship in the country, current measures of state regulation and develop proposals for their improvement. The study revealed trends in the development of small businesses in the social sphere in Russia, reflecting high growth rates in the number of small social entrepreneurship entities, its spread to various areas of activity with a predominance in the areas of education, social services and sports and leisure. The growth in the number of social entrepreneurs is mostly observed in large conglomerations. However, the continuing low share of social enterprises in the total number of small businesses in the country, the analysis of the implemented measures of state support for them, does not allow us to draw a conclusion about the sufficiency of the conditions created in the country for the support and promotion of social entrepreneurship. State regulation of the development of small social entrepreneurship is proposed to be carried out in the direction of improving the institutional environment, expanding the range of entities that ensure the development and promotion of small businesses in the social sphere.

Quantitative analysis of the use of virtual reality environments among higher education professors

Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer-generated environment with noteworthy didactic applications in different educational levels and areas of knowledge. The study of the perceptions of the agents involved about the use of VR in lectures is a fruitful line of research because it has implications in terms of the measures to be taken to improve the training and competence of professors in its use. In this paper, a quantitative, descriptive, and correlational research is carried out on the assessments of a sample of 1638 Latin American university professors on both (i) the didactic use of VR and (ii) the influence of the professors' area of knowledge on these assessments. For this purpose, a validated questionnaire was used, the responses to which were subjected to statistical analysis. As a result, it was found that the ratings of VR are very high, but professors believe that their digital skills for its use are insufficient. In addition, the professors' area of knowledge significantly influences their ratings, being higher in the areas of knowledge in which professors have a better self-concept of their digital skills. Furthermore, gender gaps have also been identified in the answers given, which behave differently according to the area of knowledge. Finally, some conclusions, implications, and recommendations are drawn from the results obtained.
