Comparison of Digital Literacy Education Strategies for Chinese and Foreign Youth in the Digital Media Era

Abstract In order to realize the quantitative analysis of the digital literacy education strategies of Chinese and foreign youth, this paper constructs the evaluation index system with the help of a hierarchical analysis algorithm and comprehensive fuzzy evaluation to explore the differences between the digital literacy of Chinese and foreign youth, and to compare the differences between the digital literacy education strategies of Chinese and foreign youth. After analyzing and discussing, this paper identifies 10 expert panelists, conducts two rounds of the Delphi method survey on the preliminary expert consultation questionnaire, and finally determines the evaluation index system based on the standard of arithmetic mean and coefficient of variation. The evaluation indexes are divided into a hierarchical analysis structure. The judgment matrix of evaluation indexes is constructed according to the 1-9 scale method. The hierarchical single sorting and consistency tests are carried out to derive the weight value of each evaluation index. Based on the system of evaluation indexes, the evaluation factors are composed into a collection of factors, and the semi-trapezoidal distribution function is used to determine the subordination degree of the indexes. The principle of calculation of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation is given to realize the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model. Construction. Using the above model to evaluate the digital literacy of Chinese and foreign youths, the evaluation result of the digital literacy of youths in country M is strong, with an affiliation degree of 3.9444, and the evaluation result of the digital literacy of youths in China is medium, with an affiliation degree of 3.1581. The difference between the digital literacy of Chinese youths and that of youths in country M is large. The education strategy determines the digital literacy of youths to a large extent. The results of the analysis of the evaluation are summarized in terms of three dimensions of distance education, feedback and communication, and evaluation system to explore the difference between Chinese and foreign youth digital literacy education strategies.

Study of the dimensions of professional learning communities in Chile

RESUMEN El presente artículo analiza las percepciones que docentes, directivos y asistentes de la educación tienen sobre las dimensiones que se consideran para conformar una Comunidad Profesional de Aprendizaje con el fin de identificar diferencias entre distintos contextos educativos. La metodología de investigación corresponde a un estudio mixto concurrente con estrategia de estudio de casos múltiples en tres centros educativos chilenos. Al considerar los resultados obtenidos del cuestionario PLCA-R, junto con los grupos de discusión, se observa que las percepciones de los tres casos coinciden al evaluar positivamente aquellas dimensiones vinculadas al desarrollo de la misión y los valores compartidos, así como las relaciones al interior de las comunidades y el aprendizaje colaborativo. Sin embargo, la práctica personal compartida y las condiciones y recursos para el desarrollo de Comunidad Profesional de Aprendizaje, aún son un desafío para equipos directivos y sostenedores.

Educational Implications of Diverse One-Stop Student Community Design

Abstract With the continuous development of higher education, campus management needs to make changes with the times. The one-stop student community is of great significance in enhancing students’ comprehensive ability and meeting their diversified needs. The study designs a one-stop student community that includes a one-stop student service hall, a student dormitory management center, a student mental health education center, and a network information platform. A student community evaluation model was constructed to evaluate and analyze the effectiveness of the student community. Students rated the community culture and environment of the one-stop student community with the highest mean value (3.75) and the quality and scope of community building with the lowest mean value (3.55). The mean value of students’ ratings on the five dimensions was greater than 3.5, and they made positive evaluations on all five dimensions and the one-stop student community has a positive effect on students’ overall competence. The significant p-values of the five dimensions of the one-stop student community, namely, governance goal and orientation, governance personnel and team, governance content and method, governance system and mechanism, and governance significance and effect, are all less than 0.05 in terms of gender, grade, and specialization, which indicates that there is a significant difference in the evaluations of the five dimensions by students with different genders, grades, and specializations.

The Destruction of Cultural Property of the Muslim Community during the War in Bosnia and Herzegovina

The purpose of this work is to present the process of the destruction of cultural property of the Muslim community during the warfare conducted on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) in 1992–1995. The work is based on historical and press sources in Serbian, Bosnian and Croatian. Field research conducted in 2000 and 2022 to obtain information on the number of demolished and restored mosques in BiH also makes an important contribution. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted with Slovak soldiers who served in NATO IFOR operations, as well as with representatives of international institutions. Research results indicate that during the war in BiH (1992–1995) the Muslim community suffered the greatest losses of cultural property. 614 mosques were destroyed. Serbian armed troops carried out most of the damage, while Croatian armed troops did less. After the war, no individual was held responsible for the destruction of cultural property. The case of BiH shows that international law still does not protect religious sites.

Bacterial and fungal communities regulated directly and indirectly by tobacco-rape rotation promote tobacco production.

Tobacco continuous cropping is prevalent in intensive tobacco agriculture but often leads to microbial community imbalance, soil nutrient deficiency, and decreased crop productivity. While the tobacco-rape rotation has demonstrated significant benefits in increasing tobacco yield. Microorganisms play a crucial role in soil nutrient cycling and crop productivity. However, the internal mechanism of tobacco-rape rotation affecting tobacco yield through microbe-soil interaction is still unclear. In this study, two treatments, tobacco continuous cropping (TC) and tobacco-rape rotation (TR) were used to investigate how planting systems affect soil microbial diversity and community structure, and whether these changes subsequently affect crop yields. The results showed that compared with TC, TR significantly increased the Shannon index, Chao1 index, ACE index of bacteria and fungi, indicating increased microbial α-diversity. On the one hand, TR may directly affect the bacterial and fungal community structure due to the specificity of root morphology and root exudates in rape. Compared with TC, TR significantly increased the proportion of beneficial bacterial and fungal taxa while significantly reduced soil-borne pathogens. Additionally, TR enhanced the scale and complexity of microbial co-occurrence networks, promoting potential synergies between bacterial OTUs. On the other hand, TR indirectly changed microbial community composition by improving soil chemical properties and changing microbial life history strategies. Compared with TC, TR significantly increased the relative abundance of copiotrophs while reduced oligotrophs. Notably, TR significantly increased tobacco yield by 39.6% compared with TC. The relationships among yield, microbial community and soil chemical properties indicated that planting systems had the greatest total effect on tobacco yield, and the microbial community, particularly bacteria, had the greatest direct effect on tobacco yield. Our findings highlighted the potential of tobacco-rape rotation to increase yield by both directly and indirectly optimizing microbial community structure.

The characteristics of community practice in a professional development unit for teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic

The research field selected for this study has been a professional development (PD) unit, for science teachers, during the COVID-19 pandemic, in a well-established educational institution that promotes science education. The goal of this research was to diagnose the function of the three dimensions of community of practice: mutual engagement, joint enterprise, and shared repertoire during the COVID-19 period. The findings show that the features of mutual engagement remained solid, yet the COVID-19 crisis somewhat undermined the joint venture of the practical community that was perceived as a luxury in times of crisis.

The Cardinal Points of Robert Macfarlane’s Palimpsestuous Walking

What is the common point between Robert Macfarlane, the specialist of George Eliot, and Robert Macfarlane, the celebrated author of nature walking experiences. The answer lies probably in the communal dimension of walking. The top down approach, whereby cardinal points are regulatory benchmarks, both spatial and ideological, is reversed by an immersive approach. What counts is the immediacy of the relation with space; a sensory, experiental apprehension of place, epitomised by ‘footfall as knowledge.’ In a world controlled by geolocation, Macfarlane toys with the idea of ‘walking off the map’. If the appeal of the North was foundational for the contemporary nature writer, the North soon came to stand for a mindset rather than for a specific geographic area. Macfarlane’s relation to the cardinal points is complex; he lends them a near mysticial value in The Old Ways. A Journey on Foot before engaging in metageographical reflection in Landmarks. Finally, by plunging underground, Macfarlane powerlessly witnesses the ecological disaster of the anthropocene from the Deep North.

It was established that for effective management of the enterprise it is important to take into account the factors affecting the formation and development of the enterprise's potential. It was found out that it is necessary to understand the specifics of the activity of each individual utility company in order to draw conclusions about the state and efficiency of the use of its fixed assets. It is important to know the effectiveness of the use of communal property provided to the enterprise for carrying out activities on the basis of operational management or economic management, in order to develop practical recommendations and measures aimed at identifying and reducing non-productive costs caused by deficiencies in the organization of management. It is substantiated that the production potential is an important component of the overall potential of the enterprise, ensuring its stable development and competitiveness. Directions for solving the problems of effective management of a utility enterprise are proposed, including: marketing and partnership; financial aspects; provision of basic means; personnel potential; technologies and processes; quality and safety, logistics and raw materials, etc. It is substantiated that the listed decisions will directly affect the management of the potential of production and working capital. It is proposed to use the factory-kitchen model for the provision of food services in secondary schools. Estimated costs for opening a kitchen factory at the enterprise and a forecast of development indicators after the proposed measures are given. It was established that the proposed measures have a positive effect on indicators that reflect changes in economic activity compared to 2021. The use of the factory-kitchen model has a more effective approach in the implementation of production activities during 2024–2026. The dynamics of profitability shows a significant increase in 2024 and a gradual decrease during 2025–2026, but remains positive. This is due to an increase in the wage fund to motivate the production staff. The company should use the improvement in its financial condition to diversify its activities and increase its own competitive advantages.

Selective logging impacts on soil microbial communities and functioning in Bornean tropical forest.

Rainforests provide vital ecosystem services that are underpinned by plant-soil interactions. The forests of Borneo are globally important reservoirs of biodiversity and carbon, but a significant proportion of the forest that remains after large-scale agricultural conversion has been extensively modified due to timber harvest. We have limited understanding of how selective logging affects ecosystem functions including biogeochemical cycles driven by soil microbes. In this study, we sampled soil from logging gaps and co-located intact lowland dipterocarp rainforest in Borneo. We characterised soil bacterial and fungal communities and physicochemical properties and determined soil functioning in terms of enzyme activity, nutrient supply rates, and microbial heterotrophic respiration. Soil microbial biomass, alpha diversity, and most soil properties and functions were resistant to logging. However, we found logging significantly shifted soil bacterial and fungal community composition, reduced the abundance of ectomycorrhizal fungi, increased the abundance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and reduced soil inorganic phosphorous concentration and nitrate supply rate, suggesting some downregulation of nutrient cycling. Within gaps, canopy openness was negatively related to ectomycorrhizal abundance and phosphomonoesterase activity and positively related to ammonium supply rate, suggesting control on soil phosphorus and nitrogen cycles via functional shifts in fungal communities. We found some evidence for reduced soil heterotrophic respiration with greater logging disturbance. Overall, our results demonstrate that while many soil microbial community attributes, soil properties, and functions may be resistant to selective logging, logging can significantly impact the composition and abundance of key soil microbial groups linked to the regulation of vital nutrient and carbon cycles in tropical forests.

Spatial and seasonal determinants of arthropod community composition across an agro-ecosystem landscape

We used Malaise traps to sample arthropod community composition at biweekly intervals across an agroecosystem landscape in southern Ontario, Canada, to evaluate the relative impact of site spacing, seasonal timing, weather conditions, local plant community attributes, and agricultural extent across the local landscape on spatial and temporal variation in arthropod community composition. The 15 field sites sampled spanned a wide gradient of agricultural extent that in isolation had a strong impact on spatial variation in arthropod community composition. DNA metabarcoding of the samples identified >10 000 different arthropod biodiversity index numbers. Local variation in plant community composition and canopy cover best explained variation in arthropod community dissimilarity. Weather variables followed closely in explanatory power, driven primarily by seasonal variation in temperature. Significant effects of time remained after accounting for environmental variables, with little independent effect of spatial distance. The proportion of agricultural land at the landscape scale had little detectable effect after controlling for the influence of the other environmental variables. Our results suggest that plant community composition, cover, weather conditions, and seasonality structured the arthropod community to considerable degree.

The article analyzes the “Politics” cluster as an exemplar within the broader thematic dimensions of professional communication. The clustering process within the thematic dimension aims to encompass an expansive scope with a sense of comprehensive coherence. The model for clustering the thematic dimension provides a range ofconstraints and assumptions crucial in creating appropriate constructs.

The Effect of Good Governance Practices and Decision Making at Da’wah and Communication Faculty UIN Raden Fatah Palembang

In the dynamic landscape of higher education, effective governance practices and decision-making within academic institutions are pivotal for shaping the academic environment. This holds particularly true for faculties dedicated to Da'wah and Communication, where religious principles, communication, and academic rigor converge. This study explores governance practices and decision-making dynamics within the Da’wah and Communication Faculty at UIN Raden Fatah Palembang. The research delves into administrative structures, decision-making processes, and their impact on academic, religious, and communicative dimensions. Differentiating educational governance from corporate governance, the study underscores the complexity of educational contexts. In the Da’wah and Communication Faculty, the Management Review Meeting serves as a crucial governance practice. The meeting involves agenda overview, prior meeting evaluation, academic contributions, student affairs, financial analysis, technology assessment, and open discussion. This strategic approach enhances organizational performance, aligning with the principles of good governance. The research methodology employs a quantitative approach, utilizing cross-sectional data from interviews and questionnaires. The Likert scale measures perceptions, with decision-making as the dependent variable and good governance as the independent variable. Hypothesis testing involves simple linear regression and partial tests. Research findings suggest a positive but statistically insignificant correlation between knowledge management (KM) and decision making (DM). Influencing factors include small sample sizes, high variability, insensitive measurement methods, unaccounted control variables, temporal aspects, and chance factors. Enhancing significance requires expanded sample sizes, detailed control variables, and robust statistical methods. Contextual considerations are crucial, emphasizing the context-dependent nature of the KM-DM relationship. In conclusion, the KM-DM relationship is generally perceived as positive, yet lacks consistent statistical significance. Factors influencing this relationship necessitate methodological improvements. Recognizing the context-dependent nature of KM's impact on decision-making outcomes, researchers can refine strategies for more targeted decision-making in educational organizations.

ANALYSIS OF PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS' COMPETENCIES AND CONCERNS ABOUT CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT BY SOME VARIABLES

This empirical study focuses on the examination of concerns and competencies related to classroom management among primary school teachers. The data were collected during the 2022-2023 academic year from a sample omprised of primary school teachers in Demirci-Türkiye. The study employed two distinct scales, denoted as the "Classroom Management Concerns Scale" and the "Classroom Management Competency Scale” to measure their classroom management concerns and competencies. Notably, the study encompassed the entire target population without the utilization of sampling techniques. Regarding the specific sub-problems addressed in this study, no statistically significant differences were observed concerning the gender of the participants. However, significant differences in professional seniority were found, particularly in the dimensions of relationship management, instructional management, and time management, as well as in the overall scores of classroom management competencies. Furthermore, significant differenceswere detected in relationship management in relation to the graduates' academic fields. In addition, the participants' respective grade levels of teaching demonstrated significant differences in the realm of relationship management. In the final sub-problem analysis, a negative and weak correlation was found between the dimension of communication concerns and behavior management. To conclude, the findings derived from this comprehensive investigation were subjected to meticulous interpretation, and a series of pragmatic recommendations were proposed for both the academic field and practical application.

Application of Contra Legem Principles in Judicial Rulings on Joint Property Characteristics

This article examines the nuanced application of the contra legem principle by judicial panels in the adjudication of community property cases, particularly in the context of marital property. It highlights the evolving legal landscape and the importance of equitable distribution in contemporary law, underscoring the need to understand judicial reasoning in an era increasingly focused on fairness and gender equality. The study closely examines cases from religious courts, highlighting a trend in which judges have awarded a disproportionate share of community property to wives. This observation raises important questions about the balance between legal norms and the pursuit of equity in family law, and provides a critical lens through which to explore the dynamics of asset distribution and its broader implications in current legal frameworks. The research aims not only to outline judges' distribution formulas, but also to offer insights into why such decisions are increasingly relevant in today's legal discourse, marking a significant shift toward recognizing the complexities of marital property division. This study uses qualitative research methods with a legal descriptive analysis approach. A thorough legal source is case number 413/Pdt.G/2021/PA.Tng and a number of other legal materials related to the author's research topic. The results of the study show that the panel of judges applied the contra legem principle in deciding this matter based on sociological considerations and distributive justice.

Functioning of the Family System With an Autistic Child: A Comparative Study Between Poland and California, USA

Objectives of the research: The aims of this research are to conduct a comparison study between the level of communication and flexibility in families with autistic children in two different geographical locations and cultural contexts – California (USA) and Poland (Europe) – to address whether the level of these two dimensions of family functioning are related to the ego-resiliency of the parents, and additionally to discuss the practical implications that can be drawn from the results.
 Research methods: Communication and flexibility profiles in family functioning were collected in Poland and California from September 2016 to February 2018. Data on the similarities and differences between parents of children with autism spectrum disorder in Poland (n=111) and California (n=105) was collected using Olson’s FACES-IV. The Ego-Resiliency Scale was also administered in methodologically standardized conditions and was empirically analyzed along with controlled demographic variables.
 A short description of the context of the issue: Family functioning and ego-resiliency in families with children with autism are analyzed in this research. The richness of interactions and connections within the family system suggests that when explaining the relationships within the family system, the interpretation that is based on linear causality is abandoned and replaced by circular causality, which is the model of analysis utilized in this research project. The main goals of this research were to compare and contrast family functioning in two geographical locations and cultural contexts and to show statistically significant differences between these two groups, in order to better understand cultural variations and differences that may affect family functioning and ego-resiliency and to provide the different groups with adequate, necessary support services.
 Research findings: The results revealed statistically significant differences in various dimensions of Family Communication and Flexibility between families of autistic children in California and Poland. With respect to both variables, higher scores were found in the California group. The flexibility results in both groups were defined as flexible. However, in regards to family communication, the result of the California group corresponded to higher standardized scores, whereas those of the group from Poland revealed moderate standardized scores.
 Conclusions and recommendations: Statistically significant positive correlations were found in the variables of Flexibility and Family Communication between Poland and California. The results of this research are critical, not only from the perspective of scientific development (as similar studies have not been conducted), but also for therapeutic and preventive reasons. They suggest concentrating on preventive activities and aspects that are important for the well-being of the parent as a person, as well as the entire family system, especially the dimensions of communication in families with children with autism spectrum disorder and the ego-resiliency of the parents. However, further research is needed to specifically identify the differences between the groups based on various demographic variables. Additionally, it is important to develop a practical model to support families with autistic children and to address family satisfaction in intervention strategies, as well as to consider the importance of support groups that may improve satisfaction and ego-resiliency within the family system.
