SHARE: An ethical framework for equitable data sharing in Caribbean health research.

Data sharing increasingly underpins collaborative research to address complex regional and global public health problems. Advances in analytic tools, including machine learning, have expanded the potential benefits derived from large global repositories of open data. Participating in open data collaboratives offers opportunities for Caribbean researchers to advance the health of the region's population through shared data-driven science and policy. However, ethical challenges complicate these efforts. Here we discuss fundamental challenges that threaten to impede progress if not strategically addressed, including power dynamics among funders and researchers in high-income countries and Caribbean stakeholders; research and health equity; threats to privacy; and risk of stigma. These challenges may be exacerbated by resource and infrastructure limitations often seen in small island developing states (SIDS) and low- and middle-income countries. We propose a framework for Safeguarding Health And Research data sharing by promoting Equity (SHARE) for Caribbean researchers and communities participating in shared data science. Using the SHARE framework can support regionally relevant and culturally responsive work already underway in the region and further develop capacity for intentional sharing and (re)use of Caribbean health data.

Ukrainian EFL Learners’ Perception towards the Use of Subtitles to Improve Their Listening Skills: a Case Study

Watching English videos is a powerful and popular tool for learning English as a foreign language, and teachers and researchers should pay close attention to it. The research paper investigates current EFL learners’ attitudes towards using subtitles when watching English audio-visual materials. The authors attempt to answer the following question: What are Ukrainian EFL learners’ perceptions of using subtitles to improve their listening skills? The significance of this study is that understanding the learners’ preferences and support for subtitles would help find effective teaching practices. We used a quantitative method to collect research data through online tools (Google Forms). The third-year students training in the BA program to become interpreters were under research. The findings suggest that students agreed on the importance of listening skills. Moreover, almost all participants are convinced that watching audio-visual materials with English subtitles improves their English proficiency. An area worth further investigation is the effect of subtitles on listening and reading skills, which is necessary as it would shed more light on using videos with and without subtitles in EFL acquisition.

Pendidikan Transformatif: Tantangan Mutu dan Kompetensi Guru Bahasa Indonesia di Banyuwangi

Transformative learning creates changes in an individual's perspective, making individuals more mature and mature in thinking and acting, based on cognitive, rational, affective and affective processes, as well as communicative and social aspects which aim to make a person smarter and more critical. The importance of teacher competence and quality in the world of education has a big influence on student success. This research aims to determine the role and innovation of transformative education in improving quality and competence as well as transformative education strategies in improving the quality and competence of Banyuwangi Indonesian language teachers. This research uses qualitative research methods with the type of microethnography. The data collection techniques used include participant observation, structured interviews, qualitative notes, and documentation. Researchers used data analysis using the Miles Huberman flow with four stages including; data collection, data reduction, concluding research data, and data verification. Research states that teachers must be able to improve the quality and competence of education along with changing times. Changes in education can begin with the presence of teachers who are qualified and able to have competitiveness in terms of quality and competence.

Ethical challenges in collecting pre-existing digital data for linguistic research

Abstract Pre-existing digital data are a valuable resource for linguistic research. Collecting these materials is often thought of as straightforward (“the data exist anyway”) and ethical dilemmas are given little consideration. In this article, we discuss microethical issues we encountered while collecting electronic text messages, photos, and videos posted on a digital platform and app during paramedical treatment. Since ethics and methods are intertwined, we discuss the various ethical and methodological aspects of collecting these sensitive digital data for our linguistic research project and reflect on the benefits and limitations of the choices we made during this process. We specifically highlight the interdependence of ethics with technology and discuss how this can be even more challenging when working in a specific institutional context characterized by different conceptions of ethics and technology. Our article highlights the importance of microethics complementing prevalent ethical guidelines. We show that when pre-existing digital data are available in non-public digital spheres, it is difficult for researchers to define in advance in ethical protocols or guidelines how the data can be collected and what ethical measures should be taken. We argue that ethical reflections should be at the center of research, including research on pre-existing digital data, guiding the decisions to be made at all stages.

Between East and West Europe. A ducal motte-type residence from the first half of the 13 th century in Chełm (south-east Poland)

Abstract Motte-type castles were among the most widespread residential and defensive objects in medieval Europe, founded by rulers, bishops, nobility and knights. This cultural phenomenon is investigated both in terms of its origins, chronology, and spread. An interesting example is the princely complex in Chełm, built in the 13th century on the western outskirts of Rus’ as the capital of Danylo Romanovich and remaining under his successors’ rule until the 1330s. Many years of archaeological research have yielded intriguing results indicating that the form of the princely residence referred to a motte-type structure of Western European origin. What should be stressed here is a relative early chronology of the complex, particularly with regard to the spread of motte-type objects in East-Central Europe (1230s). The summary of research data indicates that the spread of this new type of fortification in western Rus’ was inspired by the founding activity of Prince Daniel, and from 1264 – his successors. A comparative analysis of the Chełm complex and European mottes points to numerous analogies. They concern primarily forms – a centrally located towers and residential buildings erected either on a mound or on solid ground and then surrounded by an embankment. A fortification in the form of a rampart or palisade was built on the edge of the mound. Analogies to the Chełm foundation from both Phases I and II can be found practically throughout all of Europe, just to mention Bretoncelles (France), Lürken, Schulenburg, Krepe, Hoppenrade, Neuendorf, Schöna (Germany), Farnham, phase I (England). A specific construction of the Phase I mound, with an external stone wall deserves particular attention. Such constructional solution is relatively rare, although it was confirmed in various parts of Europe, from England through the Netherlands to southern Italy, e. g., in Borssele (Netherlands), Farnham (England), Ghent (Belgium), San Marco Argentano (Italy). Noteworthy, objects listed above are interpreted as transitional between a motte and a regular castle. Objects of this type have not been registered either in today’s Poland or in other countries of East-Central Europe. The motte-type residence in Chełm, dated back to the 1230s, can be regarded one of the most interesting examples of cultural contacts between Rus’ and Western Europe. The expected research direction is further investigation of motte-type structures in Central and Eastern Europe, focused on their chronology, construction techniques, spatial organization, and founders.

Identification of Environmental, Social, and Governance Implementation in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) has become a stakeholder demand for companies today. However, not all companies have successfully integrated the concept into the business model and gained value. In Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), the implementation of ESG is considered insignificant. Therefore, this study aims to identify ESG practices and gain insight into MSME's understanding of ESG. Hence, it provides an initial overview of current ESG practices as part of non-financial activities in the MSME sector. This research is also expected to provide additional insight to regulators. Research data was obtained through questionnaires on ESG and analyzed according to the responses of each pillar. Enumerators then guided the questions to MSMEs in the Sub-districts of Nanggewer Mekar, Pabuaran Mekar, and Pondok Rajeg. MSMEs in these sub-districts were selected because Nanggewer Mekar, Pabuaran Mekar, and Pondok Rajeg are actively involved in the Ministry of Environment and Forestry climate village program. Results show that from the initial identification of ESG understanding in MSMEs, respondents know about climate change issues and their impact on the environment, society, and governance. However, respondents understanding varies according to the perceived benefits to their business. In addition, respondents have not implemented elements of the ESG concept systematically and holistically. Therefore, the ESG concept has not been integrated into their strategy or business model. The study is limited in scope and area. Therefore, research also might be developed into empirical research to support the recent findings. Further, this research studies MSME's initial understanding of ESG activities.

The Views of Primary School Teachers and Parents on Homework at the Primary School Level are Discussed

This study aims to determine primary school teachers and parents' views on homework at the primary school level. The research was conducted using a phenomenological design and qualitative research methods. The study group consisted of 27 primary school teachers and 31 parents of primary school students working in various public schools in a province of Turkey in the 2023–2024 academic year. The research was conducted with the appropriate sampling technique, which is within the scope of purposeful sampling techniques. The researcher created semi-structured interview forms to collect the research data. The researcher used content analysis to describe the research data. The data analysis revealed six main themes that pertain to the opinions of primary school teachers, and five main themes, categories, and codes that reflect the opinions of parents. The study's results revealed that primary school teachers frequently assigned homework to students to reinforce and practice their learning. Parents' support is crucial for the academic, affective, social, and behavioral benefits that homework offers students. The study's results show that parents have positive and negative judgments about homework and assume motivating, guiding, and supervising roles during homework assignments.

Factors affecting the market value of football players in the Indonesian League

The development of accounting science, especially in human resource accounting (HRA), has progressed rapidly. The understanding of human resources (HR) as a vital asset that has an important role in the success of an organization is growing. This research focuses on measuring the market value of professional football players in the Indonesian League by considering individual performance, especially for players who play as central midfielders. Football players, recognized as intangible assets, have a market value that is closely related to their contribution on the field. The research method used is quantitative with a descriptive approach, examining the relationship between performance variables (goals, assists, number of appearances, yellow cards, and red cards) to player market value. The research data was obtained through secondary data sources from the transfermarkt.co.id website with a sample of 52 Indonesian central midfield players in the 2023 season. The results showed that goals, assists, and number of appearances had a significant influence on the player's market value. Assists and number of appearances show a very strong influence on player prices, while yellow cards and red cards do not show a significant influence. This research provides important insights for football club management in determining the market value of players as part of financial reporting and investment decision-making, and enriches the study of human resource accounting in the football industry. The findings also show the importance of players' positive on-field contributions, such as assists and performances, in determining their market value, beyond disciplinary factors such as yellow and red cards.

Trends in sepsis-associated cardiovascular disease mortality in the United States, 1999 to 2022

PurposeCardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States, and sepsis significantly contributes to hospitalization and mortality. This study aims to assess the trends of sepsis-associated CVD mortality rates and variations in mortality based on demographics and regions in the US.MethodsThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (CDC WONDER) database was used to identify CVD and sepsis-related deaths from 1999 to 2022. Data on gender, race and ethnicity, age groups, region, and state classification were statistically analyzed to obtain crude and age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR). The Joinpoint Regression Program was used to determine trends in mortality within the study period.ResultsDuring the study period, there were a total of 1,842,641 deaths with both CVD and sepsis listed as a cause of death. Sepsis-associated CVD mortality decreased between 1999 and 2013, from AAMR of 65.7 in 1999 to 58.8 in 2013 (APC −1.06*%, 95% CI: −2.12% to −0.26%), then rose to 74.3 in 2022 (APC 3.23*%, 95% CI: 2.18%–5.40%). Throughout the study period, mortality rates were highest in men, NH Black adults, and elderly adults (65+ years old). The Northeast region, which had the highest mortality rate in the initial part of the study period, was the only region to see a decline in mortality, while the Northwest, Midwest, and Southern regions experienced significant increases in mortality rates.ConclusionSepsis-associated CVD mortality has increased in the US over the past decade, and both this general trend and the demographic disparities have worsened since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Promoting narrative competence and media literacy in early childhood education through digital storytelling. A research instrument for analysing digital stories

The Erasmus+ STORIES research project ("Fostering early childhood media literacy competencies", 2015-2018) pursued the general objective of defining and disseminating guidelines and best practises for media education in early childhood education through digital storytelling, based on theoretical and empirical research. The research design mapped this general objective to the different dimensions of media education and assigned a prominent role to narrative competence. Thus, digital storytelling was placed in the context of broader school or classroom projects dealing with narrative languages and asking children generative questions about the idea of story and storytelling and the possibilities of digital storytelling. Consequently, among the various criteria for evaluating multimodal productions, the coherence of the narrative discourse plays a central role: the question arises as to what are the most salient features of the practises associated with the best crafted stories, i.e. the most complete and narratively organised. This paper focuses on a research instrument developed and validated within the project, which can also be used in other contexts to obtain comparable research data.

Value sets and the problem of redundancy in value set repositories.

Crafting high-quality value sets is time-consuming and requires a range of clinical, terminological, and informatics expertise. Despite widespread agreement on the importance of reusing value sets, value set repositories suffer from clutter and redundancy, greatly complicating efforts at reuse. When users encounter multiple value sets with the same name or ostensibly representing the same clinical condition, it can be difficult to choose amongst them or determine if any differences among them are due to error or intentional decision. This paper offers a view of value set development and reuse based on a field study of researchers and informaticists. The results emerge from an analysis of relevant literature, reflective practice, and the field research data. Qualitative analysis of our study data, the relevant literature, and our own professional experience led us to three dichotomous concepts that frame an understanding of diverse practices and perspectives surrounding value set development: Permissible values versus analytic value sets;Prescriptive versus descriptive approaches to controlled medical vocabulary use; andSemantic and empirical types of value set development and evaluation practices and the data they rely on.This three-fold framework opens up the redundancy problem, explaining why multiple value sets may or may not be needed and advancing academic understanding of value set development. In order for value set repositories to become more rather than less useful over time, software must channel user efforts into either improving existing value sets or making new ones only when absolutely necessary. This would require major, innovative changes to value set repository platforms. We believe the most direct path to giving value set developers the ability to leverage prior work is by encouraging them to compare existing value sets using advanced interfaces like VS-Hub, and by collecting and using metadata about code inclusion and exclusion decisions during the authoring process.

A Study of New Approaches to Statistical Analysis of Research data

Statistical analysis has been at the heart of scientific research, providing critical tools for data interpretation, decision-making, and hypothesis testing. Some of the ancient techniques used were hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and time series analysis, among others. Such methods have proved to be good tools for researchers dealing with smaller and more structured datasets. However, the large size and complexity of the dataset exposed the weaknesses in such classical approaches, especially in handling large, unstructured, or non-linear datasets. Increased computing power and the development of machine learning algorithms have increased flexibility, nudging the statistical approach towards more flexible, data-driven methods. This paper reviews emerging approaches such as machine learning, deep learning, Bayesian methods, and network analysis and places an emphasis on how these approaches can be applied over a range of fields where they could vastly transform statistical analysis. Based on this review, comparing traditional and modern methodologies, it thereby demonstrates how innovations better complement rather than replacing the capabilities of statistical analysis, thus shaping the future of research in this changing environment.

Buyer–supplier TMT background misalignment and green innovation performance: the moderating roles of TMT tenure and incentives

PurposeWhile top management teams (TMTs) play an important role in shaping firms’ strategic choices and performance outcomes, studies on green innovation have rarely considered the influence of the TMT demographics of firms and their suppliers. Drawing upon upper echelon theory, this study investigates the impact of buyer–supplier TMT misalignment on green innovation performance, along with potential moderators of this effect.Design/methodology/approachThe empirical setting is Chinese-listed manufacturing firms that are present in both the Chinese Research Data Services Platform (CNRDS) database and the China Stock Market and Accounting Research (CSMAR) database. The study employs panel data regression methods on a dyadic dataset of 530 paired buyer–supplier firm-year observations over the period 2008–2019.FindingsBuyer–supplier TMT misalignment in terms of functional background and educational level is negatively associated with buyer green innovation performance. This negative effect can, however, be mitigated by TMT tenure and long-term incentives in buyer firms.Originality/valueBy introducing the notion of TMT background misalignment to the supply chain, this study advances the understanding of relational TMT demographics in predicting organizational performance and extends upper echelon theory.

A framework to nurturing digital entrepreneurs: Demystifying critical factors that influence tech-driven business behavior

Technology and the internet have altered business activities by enabling organizations to reach customers, develop markets, enhance profitability, and raise brand awareness. With 167 million social media users, Indonesia’s internet economy provides numerous entrepreneurial possibilities; however, just 0.43% of entrepreneurs are technology-based. This demonstrates the need for digital entrepreneurship education and effective social media use, particularly among tech-savvy college students. The present study aims to examine the effects of social media utilization, digital entrepreneurship education, and attitude toward digital business on the technology-based entrepreneurial behavior of Indonesian university students, using the frameworks of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology and the theory of planned behavior. This study employs quantitative research using a non-probability sampling method with a judgmental technique, focusing on 391 university students engaged in entrepreneurial activities using social media. The study employed SmartPLS to analyze the research data. The results indicate that social influence, work and performance expectations, and attitude toward digital entrepreneurship positively influence the use of social media for technology-based entrepreneurial activities. Moreover, the paper unveiled that the provision of digital entrepreneurship education and the utilization of social media for commercial purposes had a beneficial influence on behavior that is predisposed toward technology. The present study demonstrates that the adoption of social media functions as a mediator in the association between digital entrepreneurship education and the adoption of social media, therefore exerting an impact on technology-based entrepreneurial behavior. AcknowledgmentsThe research team would like to thank the Ministry of Education, Research and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia for providing funding for the research program based on Decree number 0667/E5/AL.04/2024 with university internal decree number: 0038-RD-LPPM-UMN/P-HD/VI/2024, and Universitas Multimedia Nusantara for supporting the implementation of this investigation.
