A qualitative study on Problems of Young People and Ways of Religious Coping in Türkiye

The research aims to investigate the problems faced by young people in Turkey and the religious coping mechanisms they use to cope with these problems. A total of 403 students from Turkey participated, including 190 high school and 213 university students. The research, conducted in April 2024, employed two different methods for data collection: written data was gathered directly from high school students through interviews, while questionnaires were distributed to university students and collected by the researcher. We used semi-structured interviews based on a specific framework, asking participants three broad and open-ended questions. After conducting a content analysis on the data, the researcher categorized the data thematically. Based on the available data, the findings of the research classified the problems faced by young people into three main categories: individual, social, and existential issues. Individual problems included gender roles, sexuality, religious doubts, stress, addiction, and loneliness. Social problems consisted of local and popular culture, violence, concerns about the future, difficulties in finding employment, the education process, marriage, and family communication. Existential issues included the meaning of life, death, and belief in God. The study revealed that young people often resort to religious coping strategies to handle these challenges. These strategies include praying (salat), supplication (dua), expressing gratitude, repentance, performing ablution, attending mosques, reading the Qur'an, participating in religious talks, and engaging in volunteer services. As a result, it has been determined that religious coping strategies are an important part of the daily lives of young people in Turkey and that these strategies play an important role in coping with individual, social, and existential challenges.

Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy In Entrepreneurial Intention: The Mediating Role Of Entrepreneurial Education

Unemployment, poverty and social inequality are big challenges for Indonesia in entering the free market and global competition.Today, individuals with a college degree experience stiff competition and difficulty in finding employment. Limited employment opportunities which have resulted in high unemployment rates have increased awareness of the importance of entrepreneurship. However, students' interest in entrepreneurship is still relatively low, causing them to hesitate to start a business because they are risk averse. Entrepreneurial intention, as the main predictor of entrepreneurial behavior, is important in understanding the entrepreneurial process. Factors influencing entrepreneurial intentions, especially entrepreneurial self-efficacy, have been widely researched.Apart from that, the role of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in forming entrepreneurial intentions has also received attention.This research investigates the influence of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, entrepreneurial education, and individual factors such as entrepreneurial self-efficacy on entrepreneurial intentions among business students. The findings show that the entrepreneurial ecosystem has a positive effect on entrepreneurial intentions, in line with previous research in the Western context. In addition, entrepreneurial education and individual factors such as entrepreneurial self-efficacy mediate this relationship. Practical implications include the need for universities to support students in developing an entrepreneurial mindset and improve entrepreneurship education to foster creativity. Limitations, such as the focus on business students and the cross-sectional design, offer avenues for future research to explore broader populations and use longitudinal designs.

Addressing Unemployment through the Coir Industry: An Analysis of National Efforts and Challenges

The coir industry in Kerala, the birthplace of Indian coir, is facing significant challenges due to mechanization, leading to widespread labour displacement and migration. This issue is not adequately addressed by government policies, as unemployment affects all segments of the industry and negatively impacts disadvantaged social groups. The decline in the coir industry is causing a shift in the manufacturing sector, with small-scale and household sectors being abandoned and large export firms moving to other states. This article provides insights into the difficulties in finding employment and the rising rate of unemployment in the context of the coir industry, a field often disregarded in national economic policies. Using a mixed-methods approach that incorporates surveys, structured interviews, and secondary data analysis, the study looks at the relationship between unemployment and the modernization of coir enterprises, concentrating on how these changes effect job prospects and the socioeconomic position of workers. According to the findings, despite consistent government support, other initiatives are insufficient, resulting in a significant loss of employment, labour displacement and frequent labour migration.

Adverse effects of criminal legal system involvement: a qualitative study examining the role of incarceration and reentry on substance use trajectories among women with opioid use disorders

BackgroundWomen with substance use disorders (SUDs) often experience adversity related to incarceration and reentry that can impact their substance use outcomes. This study aims to examine the adverse effects of incarceration and reentry on substance use outcomes among women with a history of opioid use disorder (OUD).MethodsWe carried out 42 semi-structured interviews (May–July 2022) with women with a history of criminal legal involvement and OUD (n = 20), criminal legal professionals (n = 10), and SUD treatment professionals (n = 12). The interviews focused on women’s substance use trajectories, barriers to treatment, and the intersection of the criminal legal system and treatment. None of the women were presently incarcerated during their interviews.ResultsParticipants expressed the severe adverse impact of criminal legal involvement on women with OUD. Many women felt traumatized by experiencing detox while incarcerated, especially as they received minimal aid for withdrawal symptoms. Women seeking recovery while incarcerated felt unsupported, being afforded few treatment options, and experiencing stigma. Reentering society after incarceration also posed significant challenges to women’s individual recovery goals. Reentry-related challenges such as returning to unsupportive environments, facing difficulties finding employment, lacking secure housing, and facing the stigma of incarceration triggered adverse outcomes, such as relapse among those who were seeking to avoid illicit substances.ConclusionsFindings suggest a need to evaluate detox protocols, medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) access, and stigma in the criminal legal system. Interventions facilitating women’s reentry, reducing the combined stigma of incarceration and OUD, and restoring agency for women with OUD are also needed.

Quantifying the role of arrival infrastructures in the labor market integration of refugees

ABSTRACT Across Europe, refugees face significant difficulties in finding employment. Many studies have attributed the disadvantaged labor market position of refugees to factors on the individual level, such as language barriers or health issues related to the experience of fleeing. While such explanations emphasize individual responsibility, ethnographic studies are increasingly contending that opportunities to integrate into the labor market can be restricted or enabled by arrival infrastructures. We contribute to this discussion by taking a quantitative perspective. Focusing on the Netherlands, we used extensive national register data that allowed us to follow refugees over time and break the concept of arrival infrastructures down into four dimensions, namely job access, neighborhood effects, enclave effects, and the local migration regime. In addition, because the Dutch dispersal policy distributed refugees – to a considerable extent – randomly across municipalities during the period under study, we were able to counteract problems of self-selection and reversed causality. We studied the labor market integration of refugees using competing risks analysis, taking educational enrollment and residential mobility into account. Our findings show that economic, social, and institutional arrival infrastructures manifest themselves at different scales but all matter in the labor market integration of refugees.

Analysis on clout of <em>Tri Hita Karana</em>, technological competence, and entrepreneurship drive toward technopreneurship readiness on vocational high school students

This research intends to illustrate the analysis on the clout of Tri Hita Karana, technological competence, and entrepreneurship drive toward technopreneurship readiness among students in vocational high school. It has been widely known that a lot of vocational high school graduates had difficulty in finding employment. The disparity between the number of high school graduates with vocational training and the job opportunities that are accessible is the main cause of this issue. In fact, because they may develop new job opportunities based on technology, graduates of vocational high schools have a great opportunity to become independent workers. Therefore, in order to enable vocational high school students to become independent entrepreneurs, technopreneurship readiness should be developed. Tri Hita Karana should advocate for technopreneurship readiness as the embodiment of upholding positive relationships with God, other people, and the environment; having the technological know-how to compete and act responsibly; fostering creativity and innovation; and encouraging students' entrepreneurial drive. In this study, correlational design was used. This study used a sample of 167 vocational high school students from Buleleng Regency's Multimedia Expertise Program. Multiple regression analysis was used in the data analysis. According to research findings, Tri Hita Karana had a 22% influence on technopreneurship readiness, technological competence had an 18.8% influence, and entrepreneurship drive had a 23.7% influence. The connected stakeholders may use these findings as a foundation for organizing and deciding how best to improve the technopreneurship readiness of high school students pursuing vocational programs.

Research and Practice of Architecture Optimization of Applied Courses Based on OBE-Oriented Environmental Ecological Engineering

Because the environmental ecological engineering major involved in environmental science and ecology, professional field, talent training target and traditional environmental science and environmental engineering professional convergence, leading to students' professional skills that are not outstanding. In addition, the professional education time is shorter, social recognition is lower. Graduates have higher difficulty finding employment. How to cultivate environmental and ecological engineering professionals with distinctive professional characteristics consistent with the needs of social development has become a common problem faced by many universities today. On the basis of analyzing the main problems existing in the development of environmental ecological engineering in the College of Biological and Agricultural Sciences, Honghe University, according to the OBE teaching concept, this paper puts forward to many measures to optimize the applied curriculum structure of environmental ecological engineering.

장애인 직업적응훈련시설의 운영에 관한 질적연구: 퇴직한 직업훈련교사의 경험을 중심으로

The purpose of this study was to examine the situation and difficulties experienced by vocational training teachers in facilities before their retirement and to explore development plans. There was a purpose for research. The study participants were people who had experience working as vocational adaptation training teachers and 6 vocational training teachers who had currently retired were selected. The results were as follows. First at the perspective of the trainers, it was a workplace they chose with the goal of their own growth as professionals. Second, the trainees that the research participants met at the vocational adaptation training facility for the disabled were trainees who needed care rather than vocational training. Third, research participants complained of the burden of the user placement standard of 12 trainees per vocational training teacher and the difficulties of the reality of a shortage of vocational rehabilitation specialists. Fourth, operating standards that did not reflect on-site conditions, arduous work, and the resulting loss of direction as professionals appeared to be the process by which research participants retired. In conclusion, the current vocational adaptation training facility for the disabled serves as an institution that prepares employment through education and training for disabled people who had difficulty finding employment, but the actual users were so severely disabled that their focus was on care rather than employment. It appeared that only when the operating standards, operating system, and employee work requirements were improved will employees be able to maintain their jobs for a long period of time and operation suitable for the original purpose of operation will be possible.

PLANNING FOR OLD AGE BY GRADUATES OF A MASTER’S GERONTOLOGY PROGRAM IN ISRAEL

Abstract The master’s programs in gerontology in Israel were founded in 1999 in response to the challenges brought by extended life courses and the accompanying accelerated growth of welfare and health services for the aged. Since its beginning, thousands of students graduated from the programs and occupy central positions in the gerontological field. However, no empirical data exists on the extent of the involvement by graduates in employment in the field of aging. The current study aims to provide a first-time assessment of the experiences of graduates in Israel following their studies, as well as examine the level of preparedness to old age among graduates, since their work and study of older adults might make their own future old age more salient. We collected data using online surveys from 197 graduates of the gerontology programs. Participants were asked about their work experience in the gerontology field and about the extent to which they prepare for old age. The findings showed that most graduates (80%) currently work in the field of aging, and are overall pleased with the jobs. However, most of the graduated (68%) also reported difficulties in finding employment. Logistic regressions showed that those who currently work in aging and who graduated before less years were also less likely to make preparations for needing nursing care in old age and talking with relatives about their death. Thus, working and studying about aging could be related to being less likely to make preparations for old age.

Dire consequences: waiting for social housing in three Australian states

Although tens of thousands of households are on the waiting-list for social housing in Australia, little is known about how they experience waiting for social housing. Drawing on 75 interviews conducted with people on the waiting-list (waitees) in three Australian states, we examine the impact of waiting on waitees utilising the concept of triple precarity. Double precarity refers to the insecure employment and housing that a substantial proportion of low-income households are experiencing in the contemporary period. We argue that waitees experience triple precarity. Not only are waitees unemployed or intermittently employed and suffer from housing stress and insecurity, but they also have to endure endless waiting. This adds another challenging dimension to their already difficult lives. We show that besides the impacts of insecure housing and employment, waiting for social housing contributes to waitees’ dire living circumstances and quality of life, difficulty finding employment and poor health. Waiting for social housing has emotional and material costs.

Innovation and entrepreneurship education development on employment anxiety of college students

BackgroundWith the rapid development of higher education in China and the continuous expansion of enrollment in universities, the number of college graduates is rapidly increasing, and the employment situation is severe. Employment anxiety among college students not only affects their physical and mental health but also leads to difficulties in finding employment and social problems. In response to this situation, we aim to alleviate the employment anxiety of college students from the perspective of the development of innovation and entrepreneurship education.Subjects and MethodsTaking college students as the research object, a cross-sectional questionnaire survey method was used to explore the impact and mechanism of innovation and entrepreneurship education development on employment anxiety. The development of innovation and entrepreneurship education intervenes with high employment anxiety among college students and tests its effectiveness.ResultsThe overall employment anxiety of college students is at a moderate to high level, with a mean of 2.66 and a standard deviation of 0.63. The employment anxiety of students after innovation and entrepreneurship education was significantly lower than before intervention, P<0.001. The employment anxiety value of the post-test intervention group was significantly lower than that of the control group, with F=12.046, P<0.001.ConclusionsInterventions in innovation and entrepreneurship education have a significant effect on alleviating employment anxiety among college students, and this effect can be maintained within a month.

Depression, Anxiety, and Stress among the Malay Muslim Transgender Women in Northern Malaysia: A Mixed-Methods Study

The study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of depression, anxiety, and stress among the Malay Muslim transgender women in the northwestern states of Peninsular Malaysia. This mixed-method, quantitative and qualitative, study was conducted in collaboration with a nongovernmental organization that works incognito to advocate and help transgender women. Participants were recruited using a snowball method. A self-administered questionnaire was used that included information related to the demographic background of participants, and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale and Oslo-3 Social Support Scale. For the qualitative part of the study, 13 in-depth interviews were conducted using a semi-structured interview guide in the Malay language. The study showed the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress was 33.3% (n = 47), 48.2% (n = 68), and 26.2% (n = 37), respectively. Difficulty in finding employment was significantly associated with depression, anxiety, and stress, whereas a history of physical abuse was also significantly associated with anxiety, and being ostracized by friends was significantly associated with depression. During in-depth interviews, suicidal thoughts were mentioned by several respondents and many lamented poor support from family and cisgender friends, and they complained of societal pressure. In addition to being physically and verbally abused, some also complained about cyberbullying. There is an urgent need to identify those with mental distress among transgender women in Malaysia to enable early interventions. More research is needed to identify mental health issues among transgender women and highlight these issues to sensitize the general public to their problems.

Kehidupan Sosial Waria di Tengah Masyarakat Muslim Yogyakarta

AbstractThe social life of waria is often marked by challenges and discrimination from the surrounding community. In social spaces, the existence of waria is still difficult to accept by some communities, especially in conservative environments. This often leads to difficulties in finding employment and accessing adequate healthcare services. As a result, some waria are forced to become sex workers who are vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. Nevertheless, there are also waria communities that actively advocate for their rights and form supportive social networks. This article is the result of qualitative research, using a case study approach. The findings of this study indicate that the social life of waria in the Gowongan Lor Muslim community still faces challenges. Their presence still generates both support and opposition, largely due to their gender identity and activities that are considered deviant, such as engaging in sex work and being vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. Keywords: Social life, waria, sex worker, HIV/AIDS.

A Tracer Study of AB Psychology Graduates' Employment Outcomes for Batches 2017-2020: Effects of Pandemic and Bases for Program Enhancement

This study examined the employment outcomes of 53 AB Psychology graduates out of 98 from the University of Southern Mindanao in the Philippines between 2017 and 2020. The findings showed that 66.04% of the graduates secured full-time employment, with a majority working in private firms (50.94%) and government organizations (13.21%), mainly in Davao City. The most common job role for these graduates was an administrative assistant in human resources and related fields. Those who worked for themselves had an annual income of P100,000 or more, while overall incomes ranged from P100,000 to P200,000. The COVID-19 pandemic caused increased stress and difficulty in finding employment for graduates. Despite these challenges, the alumni appreciated the program's curriculum, extracurricular activities, interdisciplinary learning, and opportunities for gaining practical knowledge. Graduates aspiring to become licensed guidance counselors and psychologists pursued advanced degrees in psychology, such as MA in Guidance and Counseling or MS/MA in Psychology. The pandemic influenced the perspective of recent graduates regarding further education. This research highlights the importance of practical experience, interdisciplinary learning, and a curriculum that prepares students for the current job market challenges faced by AB Psychology graduates. To address the pandemic's impact on employment, it is crucial to implement program interventions like virtual internships, expand career counseling services, and establish connections with companies to increase job opportunities. Curriculum adjustments should also be made to meet evolving market demands and ensure graduates are ready for a changing labor market.

The Study of Crime and Deviant Behaviour

The study of crime and deviant behaviour is a broad and complex field that encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including sociology, psychology, criminology, and criminal justice. Criminologists seek to understand the causes and consequences of crime and deviant behaviour, as well as develop effective strategies for prevention and control. One of the central goals of criminology is to identify the factors that contribute to crime. These factors can be broadly divided into two categories: individual and social. Individual factors include things like age, gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and personality. Social factors include things like poverty, inequality, unemployment, discrimination, and social norms. Criminologists also study the consequences of crime, both for victims and offenders. Victims of crime can experience a wide range of negative consequences, including physical injury, emotional trauma, and financial loss. Offenders can also experience negative consequences, such as imprisonment, stigma, and difficulty finding employment. In addition to understanding the causes and consequences of crime, criminologists also develop and evaluate strategies for prevention and control. Prevention strategies aim to reduce the likelihood that crime will occur in the first place. Control strategies aim to reduce the harm caused by crime when it does occur

코로나19 이후 항공서비스관련학과 교육환경이 진로결정수준에 미치는 영향 : 그릿의 매개효과

This study attempted to conduct a study on the factors of the educational environment that affect the level of grit and career decision in the COVID-19 situation for college students in aviation service-related departments who will have difficulty finding employment at the same time as graduation due to the aviation industry continues due to COVID-19. Therefore, the results of this study are as follows. First, it was found that the quality of instructors and educational programs had a statistically significant effect on the influence relationship between the university education environment and the career decision level. However, it was found that the physical environment did not have a statistically significant effect. Second, in the relationship between the university education environment and the grit, it was found that the instructor's qualifications, educational programs, and physical environment were all significant. Third, it was proved that grit had a significant influence on the level of career decision. In addition, the mediating effect of grit was verified in the influence relationship between the university education environment and the career decision level. Based on these research results, we would like to derive implications for the university's educational environment where the continuous career decision level can lead to direct action for students in the aviation service department who want to get a job in the aviation industry in need due to COVID-19.

The current situation and self-renovation of the core competitiveness of environmental design graduates under the background of "rural revitalization + new liberal arts"

Against the backdrop of unprecedented changes unseen in a century and the raging new crown epidemic, Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council have always placed the aim of seeking truth and being pragmatic and ensuring people's livelihood in a prominent position, attaching great importance to the employment of college graduates, and listing it as an important part of employment work. The most important thing is that the relevant government departments at all levels are required to do a good job in ensuring people's livelihood. Faced with the specific reality of the difficulty in finding employment for college graduates, how can environmental design graduates remain invincible in the fierce competition, professional teachers must seek truth from facts and recognize the situation: that is, to recognize what the core competitiveness of environmental design graduates is, Why is it important and how to improve it, so as to further implement the task of talent training in colleges and universities in the new era, innovate the path of talent training, and complete the mission of teaching and educating people.

Employment Opportunities for Applicants with Cybercrime Records: A Field Experiment

Various studies have shown that convicted offenders often face difficulties in finding employment. These studies, however, only examined traditional types of crime and little is known about the job opportunities of convicted cybercrime offenders. Therefore, this study examines the influences of being convicted for a cybercrime on labour market chances in the IT sector in the Netherlands. An experiment was conducted in which fictitious job applications were sent to existing job openings between March and June 2021 ( N = 300), varying for type of crime (cybercrime, property crime, no offence) and ethnic background (Dutch or Turkish). In order to test the hypotheses, logistic regression analyses were carried out to test whether differences in responses were significant. No significant differences in positive responses were found between cybercrime offenders and non-offenders, implying that cybercrime offenders do not have less labour market opportunities. Moreover, significant differences were found between Dutch and Turkish applicants. The results of this study indicate that results from previous studies on job opportunities of traditional offenders are not generalisable to cybercrime offenders. Possibly, a cybercrime record gives a positive signal of IT-skills that are useful for employees, while a criminal record for a property crime is associated with negative characteristics.
