Disability Economic Empowerment: The Role of Creative Industries in Improving the Welfare of People with Disabilities

Menang Village in Jambon Sub-district, Ponorogo Regency, has become the focal point of research with the primary objective of economic empowerment of homemakers through creative industry product innovation. However, the response to business conditions could have been more optimal. So, this research aims to analyze the role of creative industries in improving the welfare of people with disabilities and the form of economic empowerment. This qualitative research uses interviews, documentation, and observation data collection techniques. The following research results were obtained from the field results: First, in Menang Village, there is a creative industry in the form of eco-print batik and household industries in the form of turmeric herbal drinks, cassava chips, and gadung chips. Second, the creative industry optimization strategy includes improving skills training, access to capital, and product marketing. The application of this model shows that with the right approach, the creative industry can effectively increase the economic empowerment of people with disabilities. The strategy also includes collaborative support internally and externally. Internal support comes from the village government, the PKK group, and also the village youth organization. In Menang Village, the eco-print batik industry and households, such as turmeric herbal drinks, cassava chips, and gadung chips, received internal funding support from the village government. The external party was the social service office of Ponorogo Regency. Training and cooperation with the PKK group, which has received training from the social service and then assists the disability group in making eco-print batik, is carried out in Menang Village. However, the disability training program is only incidental, and no sustainable program exists.

La organización y catalogación del Fondo Intendencia del Archivo Regional de Cusco y su aporte a la historiografía andina

This paper focuses on the history of the Intendancy Documentary Fund, which is preserved in the Regional Archive of Cusco, on its evolution during the second half of the 20th Century, and on its use by the Andean historiography. To achieve this, we analyzed the inventories of this documentary collection since the time of its creation up to the present time when a catalog was prepared by a recent research project. We also contrasted this information with the historiographic production on the Intendancy of Cusco (1784-1824). We demonstrate that each improvement and refinement in archival organization has entailed the visibility of documentation that contributes to deepening and making more complex the existing historiography about Cusco and Southern Andean region.

Using time-driven activity-based costing to measure customer profitability, An applied study in Al Narjis Company for Construction and Building

The purpose of this study is to Measuring Customer Profitability by Using Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing (TDABC) at Al Narjis Construction & Building Company. A case study was conducted in Al Narjis Construction & Building Company, in one of its factories consisting of five production lines for producing pipes of various sizes. Interviews, direct observations, and documentation collection were used to collect the data. The results showed that some customer segments that were profitable in the traditional accounting system used in the factory management were identified as unprofitable using the method (TDABC). Only one factory operating in the company was examined in this research paper. Therefore, further research should focus on implementing customer profitability measurement using TDABC in other factories within the company and abroad. Based on the results of the study, factory management is better able to understand the profitability of different customer segments and implement appropriate strategies. Furthermore, TDABC time equations are seen as providing factory management with an opportunity to achieve a better balance between the capabilities offered in the departments. There is limited research on measuring profitability in industrial companies in general. Therefore, this paper is unique in the sense that it analyses the use of TDABC systems in a real factory case and for the first time in Basra Governorate (Iraq).

The Role of The Teacher Working Group (KKG) on The Professionalism of Islamic Religious Education Teachers in The Independent Curriculum

The Independent Curriculum is one of the updates given by the government to be able to overcome educational challenges and problems so that Indonesia is more advanced. However, it is undeniable that in addition to having positive values, it also has negatives, especially for teachers who have entered old age and teachers who still do not understand in detail because of changes such as activities, devices, etc., including for Islamic religious education teachers to achieve professional teachers. This is because they become teachers who teach not only focusing on the world but also the hereafter. One of the solutions is the role of the Teacher Working Group (KKG) which must be optimized so that it has benefits. For this reason, the researcher is interested in researching the role of KKG in Group IV in fostering professional Islamic religious education teachers. The method used is a type of qualitative research with the collection of interviews, observations and documentation. The results obtained were that there were two KKGs in group IV of Lowokwaru District. First, the KKG Group IV which is focused on all elementary school teachers, including Islamic religious education teachers. Second, the KKG Group IV Islamic Religious Education (PAI) which focuses on PAI subjects only. In both activities, they have the same activities but several different things such as time, management composition, main activity programs and others, the goal is the same, namely to be able to make teachers understand the independent curriculum, including making teachers professional. Of the various activity programs, almost all activities were carried out well, then also had an impact on Islamic religious education teachers, such as: better understanding the teacher's duties to students, understanding the independent curriculum starting from the syllabus, teaching modules, projects to strengthen the Pancasila learning profile and others. All Islamic religious education teachers feel helped by the existence of the KKG to make teachers professional both in their teaching tools and activities. So with this, the role of the KKG is very positive so that this also supports data from other studies that state that the KKG has the ability to reach 79.00% of the 80 teachers who fill in the research data.

Influence of Textural and Compositional Heterogeneities on the Staining of Silicate Ornamental Rocks

Objective: This study aims to compare the results of staining tests carried out on natural silicate ornamental stone samples. The staining test was applied to different regions of the same slab of rock, assessing the behavior of a staining agent, oil, in relation to the textural variations and compositional characteristics of the natural rocks investigated. From this analysis, we hope to better understand how these properties influence the interaction with the staining agent, contributing to knowledge about the durability and aesthetic maintenance of ornamental stones in commercial use. Theoretical background: Ornamental stones, as well as being beautiful, must be durable and functional, maintaining their aesthetic, physical and chemical properties (ASTM, 2005). However, cleaning products, food and environmental factors can alter these characteristics. Aires-Barros (1991) defines this “alterability” as a function of intrinsic factors (material and porosity), extrinsic factors (environment) and time, which together determine the durability of stone. Method/project/approach: A study compared the behavior of three types of stone exposed to oil as a staining agent, applying a stain resistance test methodology. The procedure followed Document 20 of the ABIROCHAS Technical Documents Collection on the technological characterization of cladding stones and the practices described by Castilho (2018) in Technological Characterization of Ornamental Stones: Laboratory Practices. Results and conclusion: The study carried out in this work showed that the same slab of natural ornamental stone can have areas that are more susceptible to oil staining than other areas on the same slab. The areas with the finest crystalline texture and consequently the least expressive cracking were the areas least affected by oil staining. Another observation based on the results obtained was the loss of shine associated with the areas subjected to staining, even those where the stain was visually removed. In addition to these observations, the color of the ornamental stone, as well as the type of surface finish on the slabs, may also be important variables in the effect of oil staining, since the Anthracite stone with a black color and brushed surface finish was the lithotype that did not show stains after contact with oil. Implications of the research: Natural ornamental stone comprises materials with textural, compositional and structural heterogeneities observed even in a single slab, so the work seeks, through comparisons, to observe areas of greater susceptibility in natural ornamental stone slabs that can interact with oil staining agents. Originality/value: to contribute to the improvement of technologies that contribute to the best performance of natural ornamental stones, taking into account the type of resin and associated finishes.

Visualising communication ethics in the 2024 fourth vice-presidential debate

There appears to be a generational gap between generations during the 4th vice-presidential candidate debate, which has the potential to be in the public spotlight during the 2024 election due to the instances of unethical communication of the candidate pairs. Three important points to be answered: First, explaining the dynamics of the debate in various perspectives between generations both visually and verbally (body language and diction used during rhetoric); Second, explaining the substance of the debate on communication ethics and verbal politeness in the context of the vice-presidential debate; Third, exploring the visual elements of both the visible and underlying aspects of the vice-presidential debate. A qualitative explanatory approach was employed in this research with data collection of YouTube video documentation categorised based on the concept of verbal politeness and the visual world according to the content analysis of the debate event video. The findings of the data display are associated with verbal politeness, ethics, and visual communication in the visual world (performance consisting of visible and invisible visual structures), which are based on the social culture and political reality of the vice-presidential candidates who have an important role in filling the gap between generations as a representation of the prospective leader of the nation. In conclusion, the communication process of debating requires ethics, self-control, represented in the polite attitudes and words of the three prospective leaders with the principles of mutual understanding, knowledge, self-control, humility, and wisdom. However, different generations do not need to underestimate or bring each other down. It is mandatory to have the principle of upholding equal human dignity so that the purpose of communication as information, persuasion, and education achieves the content of the message as a quality debate.

Social Class, the Overlooked Element of Diversity within Higher Education: An Analysis of Policy Documents and Data Collection Practices by Russell Group Universities in the United Kingdom

Investigating the data that universities collect on the characteristics of staff and students offers an insight into which aspects of diversity they prioritise. We sent Freedom of Information requests to 24 Russell Group institutions asking them to report the data they collect on the class background and protected characteristics of staff and students. We also reviewed university equality policy documents using content analysis. Analysis showed that while all institutions collect data on the protected characteristics of staff and students, and 18 universities collect data on the class background of students, just one university collects data on the class background of staff. This is despite 10 institutions recognising class background as being an important component of diversity within their policies. We propose recommendations on what data universities should collect on the class background of staff, and how they can use these data to support intersectional diversity.

STREAMLINING REGULATORY DOCUMENTATION: EXPLORING THE COMMON TECHNICAL DOCUMENT (CTD) AND ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION, WITH EMPHASIS ON M SERIES ACCORDING TO ICH GUIDELINES

A number of regulatory bodies have worked together to create the Common Technical Document (CTD), including the United States Food and Drug Administration, the European Medicines Agency, and the Japanese Ministry of Health. This standardized format facilitates the collection and submission of regulatory documentation pertaining to applications for new medicines. Since its inception in 2000, the CTD has been widely adopted internationally, including by nations such as Canada, Australia, and India. The CTD aims to streamline the submission process, reduce duplication of effort, and facilitate regulatory evaluations by providing a uniform structure for technical documentation. This article outlines the guidelines and organization of the CTD, including its modules covering administrative information, quality, non-clinical studies, and clinical trials. The CTD’s significance lies in its ability to improve regulatory efficiency, promote data transparency, and expedite the availability of new medicines to patients. However, challenges persist, such as variations in regional requirements and the need for continued adaptation to evolving technological standards. Electronic submissions and improved information management are two ways in which the new electronic CTD (eCTD) has improved submission procedures. Despite some ongoing issues, the CTD and eCTD represent significant advancements in regulatory documentation, with the potential for further innovation and global adoption in the future.

The excessive everyday life of the GULAG special settlements in 1933: the Siberian dimension

The review is devoted to the documentary collection “Special (labor) settlements of Western Siberia in 1933: everyday life of the commandant’s settlements, the Nazi tragedy,” compiled by S.A. Krasilnikov and O.V. Filippenko. It publishes more than 80 documents, full of valuable information about the intentions and results of the exile settlement policy. Documents identified in the State Archive of the Novosibirsk Region, the Archive of the President of the Russian Federation and the Central Archive of the FSB of Russia paint a vivid picture of the unsuccessful penal colonization of the Narym north in the early 1930s. This was an unexpected result for the authorities of efforts to cleanse the cities of the central part of the country and border areas from “déclassé elements.” The documents provide an opportunity to look into the everyday life of two worlds of a special settlement – peasant and urban “déclassé”. It follows from them that constant “excesses,” despite their obvious costs, acted as a routine accompaniment of the most important management actions. The central government considered countless “ordinary” criminal actions on the ground (illegal arrests, expulsions, confiscations against peasants and all kinds of “former people”) as necessary, designed to push the layers unnecessary to socialism to the margins of life. A closed hierarchical system based on the directives of the center gave rise to and developed the arbitrariness of the performers, embodied in published documents.

Curriculum guide for teaching house officers and faculty: applying procedure codes effectively using chemical denervation as a model.

The healthcare system in the United States relies heavily on physician-and house officer-driven initiation of billing and coding for collection of hospital payments and professional fees. Under the umbrella of practice management is the ever-changing and suboptimally taught concept of procedural billing and coding to house officers and faculty. Clinical providers and practitioners initiate billing and coding for performed services based on the procedural visit encounter, supported by the appropriate documentation. Correct charge capture is dependent on accurately linking CPT codes and J codes, including waste documentation, modifiers, and charge collection. We discuss a perspective regarding a new curricular methodology that teaches learners to apply an algorithmic approach for coding CPT codes, J codes, and modifiers for chemical denervation procedures involving high-cost botulinum toxin. We further recommend the use of visuals with algorithm development for other pertinent procedures that are specific to a department. We developed a curriculum that includes algorithmic visuals, pre-and post-test questions, and reflections. It was implemented across various learner types. This chemical denervation curriculum was well-received and impactful in meeting the objectives of the course. It further expanded a learner's vision of practice management that can be applied to other procedural examples. The results demonstrate a clear gap in practice management education, with pre-education knowledge on applying appropriate codes being particularly low among resident physicians. Learners found the algorithm we developed especially valuable, as it serves as a practical tool for accurately accounting for all aspects of CPT codes, modifiers, and J-codes. The methodology of the algorithmic approach proved to be innovative for avoiding billing write-offs and loopbacks that were beneficial for the training process. Learners indicated that this approach can be applied to other procedural billing.
