Evaluation of the implementation of transition programs for students with intellectual disability in high schools in Saudi Arabia

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the implementation of transition programs for students with intellectual disability served in special high school institutes and self-contained classroom programs in general education high schools, and their challenges. We specifically explore special education teachers’ support for implementing the transition programs for students with intellectual disability in these two settings. Further, this study investigated the differences in teachers’ support for implementing the transition programs based on factors including teachers’ gender, educational level, years of experience, and previous attendance of a course or training program on transition programs. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 249 male and female special education teachers in the cities of Riyadh, Makkah, Al-Ahsa, and Dammam. The results showed that while transition programs are implemented with students with intellectual disability in special high school institutes and self-contained classroom programs in general education high schools there are significant obstacles to their implementation. However, there were no differences in special education teachers’ support for implementing the transition programs based on their demographic characteristics. Implications for supporting and implementing transition programs, developing strategies, enacting laws and regulations, establishing partnerships, and cooperating with community institutions to ensure a successful transition are discussed.

Transformation of the Forestry Partnership in the Java Forest: A Study of Community Institutions Lancar Jaya after the Designation of Forest Areas with Special Management

The Forest Village Community Institution (LMDH Lancar Jaya) is formed to carry out forestry partnerships in forest areas managed by Perum Perhutani. Along with the designation of this forest area as Forest Areas with Special Management (KHDPK), this institution and its forestry partnerships must be transformed. This study analyzes the timeline and performance of forest village community institutions to describe potential factors for the readiness of partnership transformation. Two theoretical approaches were used in this research: Situation-Structure-Behavior-Performance developed by Schmid (1987; 2004) and Jones’ organizational capacity to produce value (Jones, 2013). The method used was qualitative descriptive, timeline, and content analyses. Research data and information were collected through in-depth interviews and document analysis. This study concludes that the performance of LMDH Lancar Jaya is efficient as an independent and active institution. This performance is driven by significant capital. Good social capital is a strong network of trust in management, solid stakeholder relationships, the ability to choose institutional alternatives that suit their characteristics, minimal transaction costs, and the ability to provide market certainty with interlock transactions. This article recommends the necessary conditions for the transformation of a legal business entity by maximizing inputs for investment capacity in the form of capital, raw materials, human resources, business knowledge, and customers, which is supported by input conversion, administrative fulfillment, and cooperative facilitation of transformation.

외국 소재의 전자적 증거 수집 방식과 증거능력 부여 방안에 관한 연구

In order for investigative agencies to acquire electronic evidence located in a foreign country, mutual legal assistance based on the International Criminal Justice Mutual Aid Act and Interpol Collaboration are used. In some investigations, legally obtained user account information is used to access overseas servers. The international community has already implemented the European Convention on Cybercrimey, which enables prompt preservation, provision, and submission of digital information for ISPs located in each jurisdiction through cooperation between the central authorities, so orders are also issued to ISPs under direct foreign jurisdiction. The system is being improved in such a way that this way is possible, and the same procedure is reflected in the administrative agreement based on the CLOUD Act and the European Electronic Evidence Regulation. However, Korea has not signed such a treaty or agreement.
 For foreign electronic evidence collected using these means, there is a possibility that the collection procedure of the requested country may violate the domestic law of the requesting country due to the different procedural laws between each country. In such a case, whether the content or degree of the violation violated the actual content of due process and whether the exclusion of evidence is in accordance with the constitutional idea and the criminal procedure law procedure for the realization of criminal justice can be judged individually. However, it is not reasonable to deny the admissibility of evidence based on a simple violation of the procedure on the basis of trust or reciprocity among judicial institutions in the international community.
 On the other hand, non-statement digital evidence is not the truth of the content, but the existence of textual information of the same content itself as evidence. Therefore, it is reasonable to regard such evidence as evidence and not to apply the hearsay rule. Even declarative digital evidence can correspond to business records, and it is possible to confirm and verify the circumstantial guarantee of trustworthiness from foreign institutions in the future. In the end, even for electronic evidence collected in foreign countries through cooperation or cooperation in investigations, it seems necessary to establish a separate exception to the recognition of Probative Force.

 The purpose of the study was to determine the periodontal tissues state in children from educational and rehabilitation centers (ERC).
 Research material and methods: 182 children aged 7 to 15 from communal institutions of the Lviv Re-
 gional Council (CI LRC) and 165 children of the same age from the secondary schools (comparison group) have been examined. The periodontal tissues state was assessed on the basis of clinical examination, the Schiller-Pysarev’s test and the Papillary-Marginal-Alveolar index (PMA) (Parma, 1960).
 Research results and their discussion: It was established that chronic catarrhal gingivitis was found in the average of 71,68±4,25% of children aged 7-15 years from the ERC, which is significantly higher than the children of the comparison group – 46,75±3,51% (р<0,001). With age, the prevalence of CCG increases and in the age group of 10-12 years, accounting on average for 81,53±7,28%, which is by 1,7 times higher than in children of the comparison group (р<0,001). In children aged 13-15 years, the frequency of CCG is by 1,4 times higher than that in children of the comparison group and by 1,2 times higher than that of children aged 7-9 years.
 The analysis of the results shows that in all age groups, the children from the ERC have a mild degree of CCG and, on average, accounted for 57,83±7,28%, which is by 1,4 times lower that in the comparison group (79,76±3,79%), and the average degree of CCG is much higher – 37,89±3,68%, respectively, in children of the comparison group (18,79±3,45% (р1<0,001, р2<0,001)). The significant prevalence of a severe degree of chronic catarrhal gingivitis in children of 7-9 years old from ERC (8,33±3,25%) is revealed.
 Therefore, the findings of the study indicate a significant prevalence of inflammatory processes in the periodontal tissues of children from ERC, which must be taken into account in providing of dental care for children who are in such institutions, and should be actively implemented in treatment and prophylaxis measures to prevent the further development of pathological processes in periodontal tissues.

Local knowledge in forest management: a case study in java forest, indonesia

Forests are currently faced with the challenge of increasingly widespread forest degradation, threatening human life at the global level due to climate change and unexpected plans. In this context, the role of local knowledge is considered strategic in sustainable forest management. In line with the dynamics of global change, local knowledge often needs to be adapted, complemented, or preserved to continue contributing to forestry development. Similarly, in the case of forests in Indonesia, climate change can influence local knowledge of forest management. Consequently, there is a need for studies on how communities adapt their traditional practices to climate change and the impact of such adaptations on the sustainability of forest resources. Through a qualitative method with case studies, this research was conducted to identify and understand local community knowledge and its role in forest management. The research was conducted in Wonokerto Village, Rembang Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. Data was collected from January-October 2023 using observation and interview techniques involving 21 informants from Forest Village Community Institutions (LMDH) representatives, forest farmers, facilitators, forest police, Perhutani, and local community leaders.

Management of coffee agroforestry systems: lessons learned from a social forestry program in West Java, Indonesia

Indonesia has a long history of social forestry (SF). The essence of this scheme is to involve the community in managing state forests. The agroforestry system is the main choice, with trees already on forest land. The combination of trees and crops provides an alternative livelihood for the community. Coffee plants are one of the choices for undergrowth plants. This study aims to explain the management of coffee agroforestry in social forestry programs. The method used was direct observation in the field combined with a focus group discussion involving six Forest Village Community Institutions (LMDH) with 15 respondents for each LMDH. The results showed that farmers mainly chose coffee because it was shade-tolerant, allowing it to grow well under tree stands. Coffee management in SF with an agroforestry system differs from a monoculture cultivation system in terms of spacing, number of coffee plants per hectare, land preparation techniques, planting, maintenance, and productivity. The government can encourage the management of coffee agroforestry systems in state forests through social forestry schemes by providing training and facilities to increase the added value of coffee in advanced products, providing access to production facilities, capital, and markets, and institutionally strengthening farmer groups.
