The Road Less Travelled: Exploring the Planning and Preparation for a Critical Social Justice Module by the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa

This qualitative study aimed to explore the journey of planning and preparation for the implementation of a Critical Social Justice and Citizenship (CSJ) module at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. Despite political democracy in South Africa, racial, sexist, gender, and cultural pathological issues persist. The CSJ module addresses these challenges by focusing on gender-based violence, racism, gender inequality, classism, and other forms of discrimination. The study adopted an interpretive paradigm and a narrative inquiry approach to investigate the experiences of the planning team and the tutors involved in the CSJ module. Data were generated through observations of workshops, which were presented via photo narratives and individual interviews. The analysis was performed using thematic and content analysis methods. A theoretical framework for the study was based on “Education for Liberation,” which encompasses human rights, inclusion, and education for social justice. The experiences of the planning team and the tutors highlighted both the challenges and the successes encountered during the planning and preparation phases. The identified themes included the importance of collaborative efforts, the need for ongoing support and training, and the evolving understanding of social justice issues by the tutors. Recommendations for future implementation include improving support structures for tutors, continuous professional development, and improving module content based on feedback and experiences. This study contributes to scholarship by providing a detailed account of the development of a social justice-oriented educational module in a higher education context. The study also offers information on the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary approach in the development of educational interventions aimed at promoting social justice. Keywords: Social Justice, Gender-based violence, Inequality, Classism, Workshops

THE FUTURE OF THE MOVING IMAGE: VIRTUAL PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY

The moving image production process has a structure that depends on the universal rules of physical science, is sensitive to technological innovations and focuses on the viewer experience. Digitalisation processes in the fields of series and films open the doors to many innovations, directing production companies to the field and aiming to bring the viewing experience to the highest level. Virtual production technology is also recognised as one of the groundbreaking innovations in moving image production. The concept of virtual production is used to encompass innovative production models such as the creation of virtual universes for the realisation of productions, the use of backgrounds consisting of LED screens, and the possibility of real-time rendering. Virtual production technology offers real-time rendering with the inclusion of game engines such as Unity and Unreal Engine in the moving image production process, blurring the boundaries between the production and post-production stages. In addition to the global developments in virtual production technology, production companies in Turkey are also making pioneering initiatives by focusing on this issue. In this study, the development process of virtual production in the world is explained, and the Prince TV series, which is one of the first productions in Turkey using this technology, is analysed technically by using the content analysis method. It has been concluded that the virtual production technology used in the series makes significant contributions to the production process in terms of actor management, image management, art management, removes time and space dependency, and maximises the actor experience. It is predicted that this technology will become accessible to independent producers in time and can be integrated into all stages of moving image production.

A SWOT ANALYSIS OF THE TÜRKİYE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM: A PHYSICIANS' PERSPECTIVE

The aim of this study is to conduct a SWOT analysis of the Türkiye healthcare system from the viewpoint of physicians. The sample for this study consisted of 22 physicians who voluntarily participated. A qualitative research approach was employed, utilizing semi-structured interview forms for data collection. Data were gathered both face-to-face and online. The obtained data were coded, and similar codes were categorized and themed. This study incorporated both SWOT analysis and content analysis methods. When examining the findings, physicians highlighted easy access and availability as the strong aspects of the Türkiye healthcare system. However, the system's weaknesses were predominantly identified as issues concerning healthcare professionals. On the other hand, medical tourism was pointed out as the most significant opportunity awaiting the health system, whereas the escalating violence towards healthcare workers was perceived as the biggest threat. The Türkiye Healthcare System stands out with strengths such as ease of access and advanced technological infrastructure, as well as opportunities like medical tourism. However, it also harbors pressing challenges, including violence against healthcare workers and medication shortages. It is anticipated that many of these issues will be addressed when the balance between demand and supply is achieved.

Image of Social World in Metaphors and Narratives of Adults

The image of the social world is a predictor of social behavior and its development during stable social transitivity, i.e., COVID-19 pandemic, economic crises, local military conflicts, etc. It can also be interpreted as a variable linguistic phenomenon. However, very little empirical research has featured its integral structural and content characteristics through the prism of narratives, metaphors, and social representations. The author used the methods of thematic narrative analysis and content analysis of metaphors to identify the narrative constructions used by adult subjects to describe their image of the social world. The data obtained were subjected to frequency analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis. The experiment involved 193 respondents aged 35–49 years old, employed in the city of Rostov-on-Don, Russia. In their metaphors and narratives, they described the social world as balancing between stability and dynamism, predictability and stochasticity, as well as endowed it with differentiation in the absence of universal laws. The rationality of the metaphors reflected the age identity while the subject of biographical narratives reflected the subjective adaptation to current social processes.

ChatGPT Literacy for Fostering Language Proficiency and Writing Skills in ESL/EFL Classrooms

Background: The article posits that ChatGPT literacy functions as a pedagogical imperative to foster the writing skills of English as a Second Language (ESL) and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. The goal of the article is to explore key literacy skills that are crucial for the ethical and responsible use of ChatGPT in enhancing the teaching of writing skills to ESL/EFL students. Method: Drawing upon the theory of Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy (Dobrin, 2023) and ESL/EFL pedagogy of microlearning activities (Kohnke, 2023), this study employs a method of qualitative content analysis (Krippendroff, 2019) of 23 ChatGPT-generated texts as responses to given prompts. The qualitative analysis and interpretation of the given prompts and ChatGPT’s responses have been discussed in four rubrics, namely parts of speech, sentence formation, paragraph writing, and genre convention. Result: The result of ChatGPT’s responses led to the findings that four literacy skills—literacy of prompting, literacy of hooking and specifying, literacy of qualifying and quantifying, and literacy of rhetorical situations—are some useful techniques for the use of ChatGPT in advancing ESL/EFL writing skills in various educational contexts. Conclusion: Integrating ChatGPT into ESL/EFL writing classrooms can be productive for both writing instructors and students, provided that microlearning activities are implemented to enhance the effective, ethical, and responsible use of ChatGPT. Novelty: The paper demonstrates innovative strategies for using AI writing technology such as ChatGPT and shows the importance of effective prompting literacy for a productive conversation to happen in the writing classroom of ESL/EFL students.

Ecclesiological Theology in the House Church Movement: Literary Study of Church Transformation in the Postmodern Era

This research examines ecclesiology in the context of the house church movement, which emerged as a response to the dynamics of postmodernism. Using the qualitative descriptive content analysis method, this research explores the theological and structural changes that occur in the house church model, as well as the challenges and potential it faces. Postmodernism, which rejects central authority and emphasizes pluralism and individuality, has created conditions favorable to the development of house churches, which are more participatory, decentralized, and community-based. However, this research also highlights the risks facing house churches, including theological fragmentation and a lack of control over orthodoxy. This research finds that despite these challenges, house churches are able to respond to the needs of postmodern society in a flexible and contextually relevant way. Digital technology plays an important role in expanding the reach of house churches, while maintaining community intimacy. Additionally, this research suggests that collaboration between house churches and institutional churches can strengthen overall ecclesiology by combining innovation and stability. The house church is predicted to have the potential to continue to develop in the future, serving as a relevant and significant ecclesiological model for an ever-changing global context.

Content Analysis of Brief Telephonic Conversation with Parents of Children with Cleft Lip and Palate During Sustained Anticipatory Guidance Sessions.

Cleft lip and palate (CLP) represents complex congenital anomalies that necessitate a comprehensive approach to care, involving multiple healthcare disciplines. The primary aim of the study is to explore the content of periodic telephone support calls between parents/caregivers of children with CLP and pediatric dentist during sustained anticipatory guidance. The qualitative analysis was conducted with the available telephonic recordings that was obtained from the STOP database. 40 recordings of 8 children were used for this study. The recorded interviews were translated and transcribed verbatim and analysed using the thematic content analysis method. The four major themes that were addressed by the dentist were the general health of the baby, oral health and development, surgery-related concerns and emotional support. It was also observed that the parents demonstrated a positive shift in oral health related behaviour significantly improving their child's oral hygiene practices. The telephonic support calls offer valuable insights into the concerns and topics the parents of children with CLP are eager to discuss. These calls not only address general concerns, receiving emotional support from the professionals, demonstrate the health related behavior shift that takes place during SAG and reassures parents of their support.

The correlation between stigma and treatment adherence, quality of life in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A mixed-methods study.

To investigate the current status of stigma in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and its correlation with treatment adherence and quality of life. The convenience sample of 266 patients diagnosed with RA was surveyed at the rheumatology and immunology outpatient department of a tertiary hospital in Jiangsu Province from May 2022 to September 2022. In addition to this, 20 RA patients were purposively sampled for semi-structured in-depth interviews, and the data were analysed using content analysis methods. The total stigma's score of the 266 participants was (47.8 ± 10.8), which indicates a moderate level of stigma. The mean scores for alienation, stereotype endorsement, perceived discrimination, and social withdrawal were (2.2 ± 0.7), (2.4 ± 0.7), (2.9 ± 0.6), and (2.2 ± 0.6) respectively. A comparison of the average family monthly income, family roles, duration, disease activity, duration of morning stiffness, visual analogue scale score, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and total stigma score revealed significant differences (p < 0.05). The total treatment adherence score was negatively correlated with the total stigma's score and scores in each dimension (p < 0.05). Similarly, the total psychological health score and total physical health score were negatively correlated with the total stigma score and scores in each dimension (p < 0.05). The qualitative study identified six themes: self-denial, discrimination, lack of disease-related knowledge, high medical costs, increased life burden and resistance to stigma. Stigma affects RA patients' treatment adherence and quality of life negatively. Healthcare workers are advised to develop comprehensive intervention programs that address the current status of stigma, with the aim of controlling disease progression, reducing disability rates, and improving the quality of life for RA patients.

The British Digital Press Archive as a source on the history of the collective memory of the First World War participants in the interwar period

Importance. The 110th anniversary of the First World War outbreak awakens in the public and scientific community not only discussions about the causes of the conflict, but also forces us to turn to the legacy of this process. In this regard, the work actualizes the theme of historical memory of the “Great War”. The purpose of the study is to reflect the complex of the legacy of the First World War in Great Britain in the 1930s by referring to the British Newspaper Archive.Materials and Methods. For the analysis of historical memory in the Great Britain, memoirs, monumental art, works of cinema, music, and many others are often involved. Methods of working with the British newspaper Archive are considered and, based on a specific historical method, we will reflect the perception of the First World War in British society and the situation of veterans in the 1930s. The method of quantitative content analysis is used. The necessary database of source material is selected by keywords, then the selected sources are grouped according to a certain topic. Memoirs, monumental art, works of cinema, music and much more are often used to analyze historical memory in Great Britain. In this work, we will look at the techniques of working with the British Newspaper Archive and, based on a specific historical method, reflect the perception of the First World War in British society and the situation of veterans in the 1930s. Due to the free access to a huge mass of English-language sources, this digital archive is of interest to researchers. The work uses the method of quantitative content analysis.Results and Discussion. During the study of press materials, it can be stated that the following agenda has been identified in the historical memory and legacy of the First World War in Great Britain in the 1930s: 1) the presence of narratives reflecting the pride of British society for the heroism of soldiers and sorrow for the many sacrifices they made in the name of victory in the war; 2) despite the discussions’ existence about the frontline brotherhood during the war period, after the war, veterans rallied into unions and organizations engaged in a wide variety of support (from mediation when applying for a job to appeals to the authorities about pension provision).Conclusion. Thus, despite the apparent immensity of the digital database of the British Newspaper Archive, the application of the well-known methodological principle of “Occam’s razor” makes it possible to compile a corpus of sources that meet the purpose of the study. Immersion in the press materials themselves allows the researcher to immerse himself more in the socio-cultural context of Great Britain in the 1930s. Due to the complexity of the information from the studied sources.

Implementation Dynamics and Project Delivery: A Case Study of Tullow Oil Exploration in Turkana, Kenya

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of community stakeholder involvement in the implementation process on project delivery by the Tullow Oil Exploration Company in South Lokichar Basin in Turkana, Kenya. Methodology: The study utilized a descriptive research design that incorporated both qualitative and quantitative methods for data collection. While qualitative design was predominantly utilized, a small amount of quantitative methodology was included to assess perceptions. A triangulated methodological design was employed to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data. The study involved the use of questionnaire method to collect quantitative data and key informants guide and focus group discussion to collect qualitative data. This research adopted multistage sampling utilizing cluster sampling as one of the sampling methods and the first stage of sampling, where villages were divided into clusters which were later randomly sampled based on their proximity to the oil wells. Two villages from Lokori / Kochodin Ward in Turkana South Sub-County and eight villages in Lokichar Ward in Turkana South Sub-County were randomly picked. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive analysis and inferential analysis (cross-tabulation with chi-square and binary logistic regression analyses) by use of SPSS version 25. Qualitative data was analysed based on Content Analysis (CA) method. Findings: The study revealed community stakeholder involvement in the implementation process had statistically significant effect on community project delivery by Tullow Oil Exploration Company in South Lokichar Basin in Turkana, Kenya (X2=8.161, df=1, p-value = .000 and p-value=.037 (&lt;0.05 respectively). Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Stakeholder Theory emphasizes the need for companies to take a wider view of their economic activities and consider all other stakeholders' interests, not just the shareholders. Its contributions to the descriptive, normative, and instrumental elements of Stakeholder Theory are thus underlined by the fact that community engagement may make or break the success and sustainability of community projects in this industry even during the implementation phase itself. It hence requires a balancing of the expectations of a Company with those of the community so that all the stakeholders really share goals and vision in similar ways concerning the community project at hand. The actual study indicates that, in practice, the effective participation of community stakeholders throughout the entire community project cycle-identification, planning, and especially implementation-enhances project delivery while at the same time enhancing ownership and cooperation at the local level. Such understanding of stakeholder management is key when companies operate their business in marginalized areas for the purpose of mitigating risks, community resistance, and ensuring easier ways of executing community projects. This research, therefore, calls for legal and regulatory environments that enhance stakeholder involvement in resource extraction projects. From a policy perspective, the government of Kenya and any other relevant country should develop policies that ensure that companies adopt formal mechanisms involving direct consultations of communities in the decision-making and operations processes. It is through this that the process reflects transparency, inclusiveness, and accountability-one of the facets of successful long-term community projects in resource-rich areas. These contributions are aimed at the improvement of project delivery in a sustainable manner together with social harmony across large-scale extraction-impacted areas.

Contextualizing Nasr's Sufism In Education In The Modern Era

This article examines Seyyed Hossein Nasr's thoughts on contextualizing Sufism in education in the modern era. Nasr views Sufism as the key to reviving traditional Islamic values that have long been forgotten. Nasr calls for the importance of education, which develops intellectually and cultivates the human soul and personality. This article uses a qualitative approach with a type of literature study, examining Nasr's works and related literature to explore his thoughts on Sufism and education. The data collection technique used is documentation study; primary sources are obtained from Nasr's works, such as books, journal articles, and his writings that discuss Sufism, education, and his thoughts on these topics. Secondary data sources come from other literature relevant to this research. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis and hermeneutic analysis methods. The results show that contextualizing Sufism in education emphasizes the importance of spiritual and ethical values in the educational process. Nasr emphasized the need to instill transcendent values through the Sufi soul to overcome the secularization of knowledge and materialistic views in modern education

Analysis of Cultural Narratives in Works of Art for the Study of Ukrainian-Russian Relations

The article is devoted to the consideration of cultural narratives in works of art as a reflection of the nature of Ukrainian-Russian relations. The purpose of the article is to analyse the cultural narratives presented in works of art during the war, from the perspective of studying Ukrainian-Russian relations. The research methodology includes a qualitative analysis of works of art created during the war, using methods of content analysis and semiotic analysis. The research used the method of narrative analysis to reveal subjective ideas about the given problem. The presented factual information is analysed in the explicit content of the narrative. Content-oriented analysis is aimed at clarifying the implicit content: meaning and significance, manifestations of certain motives, features of the formulation of the narrative, its meaningful changes. Formal analysis consists in clarifying the structure of narratives, the sequence of changes, their relationship with the temporal axis, complexity and interconnectedness; feelings and images reflected in works of art. Semiotic analysis is used to study works of art, the meanings embedded in them in view of the change in the socio-political situation (from annexation to full-scale invasion). Scientific novelty. Its use, along with the traditional one, creates a new path for the development of conceptual art, which is now relevant, since it allows not only to restore one’s identity on the basis of ancient cultural traditions, but also to form a new awareness of oneself in the world space. Conclusions. As a result of the study, it was found that the pro-Russian narratives that existed in the cultural space of Ukraine before 2014 have disappeared, and pro-Ukrainian ones are being promoted more actively, which indicates an awareness of their identity and a desire for national independence. A rather dramatic change can be traced in relation to Russian culture, which is recognised as imposed from the outside and implanted over the centuries by force. Subsequent research involves systematisation and analysis of modern symbolism that arose during a full-scale war and evokes lasting associations.

Informatization of the processes of administration of the quality of medical services in surgical hospitals

Among the various forms of quality control of the provision of medical care, self-control and internal control of the quality of medical services are the most effective and significant. Currently, there is no comprehensive information technology and algorithm for recording data on the provision of medical services and determining their quality. The goal is to develop and analyze the effectiveness of business processes and an algorithm for quality control of the performance of medical services in a surgical health care institution by establishing their daily accounting in the information system, control of indicators characterizing the safety and quality of their performance, as well as an opportunity to assess the dynamics changes in indicators for making management decisions. In the study, an analysis of literary sources was carried out, business processes were formulated, and on the materials of a retrospective analysis algorithms for the use of information technologies were developed based on the methods of generalization, comparison, content analysis, system-analytical and logical analysis, a graphic analysis was performed to increase the clarity of the presentation of the material. The research was approved by the Biomedical Ethics Committee. For the first time, as a result of the work of the internal quality commission, daily and summarized forms of reports on the work of the medical center, which have five sections are obtained. The statistical indicators of the operation of the surgical unit for any period are fixed, formed in an automated mode and analyzed. Clinical data characterizing all prescribed procedures applied are subject to analysis, and the results provide an opportunity to isolate from the records the disorders and complications reflected in the reports. The quality control of the use of antibiotics, the frequency of their use for preventive and therapeutic purposes is also carried out. The section that contains multivariate epidemiological control of the work of the treatment facility, as well as the section that shows the quality of medical record keeping and patient care is important. Together with the inpatient chart, e-mails of medical appointments are analyzed, patient falls are recorded, appointments and monitoring of patient care, pain assessment after surgery, allergic reactions are recorded, as well as a retrospective audit of the charts regarding the justification of the appointment of antimicrobial therapy. Control of patient safety and the quality of the provided medical services requires constant verification of their implementation and paying attention to be up to standards, the occurrence of deviations and complications. The application of a specially developed algorithm based on information technologies, aimed at daily accounting of medical services and obtaining data on deviations in their application, makes it possible to make urgent management decisions and influence the improvement of the qualifications of personnel who provide such services.

Navigating the Challenges of Legacy Data: A Systematic Literature Analysis

Legacy data is data collected systematically in the past, for which contemporary use and reuse are at-risk, difficult, or impossible due to issues such as missing metadata, obsolete storage media, outdated file formats, and unsupported software. As we introduced in Buchanan, et al. (2023), there is a demonstrated need for more systematic understanding of legacy research data efforts and the value of these data and efforts as perceived across stakeholder groups. We are conducting a literature analysis of publications on the topics of legacy research data use, preservation, curation, and management. Using an established search query and online literature databases, we retrieved and manually reviewed a pool of 1,338 results and identified 69 papers that fit the following criteria for our study: peer-reviewed articles published in the last 15 years including studies discussing methodologies and best practices; studies that describe repurposing legacy data; studies focusing on storage or archival methods for older data; and studies that discuss software and migration challenges. We are analyzing the sample of papers using content analysis and bibliometric methods, focusing on references to individuals involved, processes, data types, formats, locations, and problems being addressed.

APPRAISAL OF THE CAPACITY OF NATIONAL COUNTER TERRORISM STRATEGY TO PREVENT AND COMBAT TERRORISM IN NIGERIA

The standing policy adopted by Nigerian states to fight against terrorism is known as the National Counter Terrorism Strategy (NACTEST). This tactic has five pillars, namely: to forestall, to secure, to identify, to prepare, and to implement. Most of the literature engages on reasons for the emergency of terrorism, the effect of terrorism, or the strategy adopted by the terrorist to perpetrate their heinous activities. However, little attempt has been made to evaluate the efficacy of Nigeria's strategy against terrorism, especially NACTEST. Based on this backdrop, this paper is an attempt to examine the performance of Nigeria in identifying terrorist plans and its preparations to thwart them. These are two major and critical pillars of the NACTEST document (to identify and prepare). The paper adopts secondary methods of data gathering and content analysis for analyzing both primary and secondary data as a source of information gathering and content analysis methods for analyzing the generated data. The paper also adopted protracted social conflict theory to analyze the reasons for terrorism and the methods adopted by the Nigerian government to address those motivating factors. It was discovered that the Nigerian government has been able to prevent attacks by terrorists by identifying some sources of terrorist funding in Nigeria. However, it was discovered that, as far as the capacity of the government is concerned, security agencies still lack the necessary capacity to efficiently explore and detect terrorist attacks before they occur. The paper recommends more engagement of civilians and community stakeholders in fighting against terrorism in Nigeria.
