Gambaran Krisis Respon Komunitas LGBTI di Kota Makassar

This research aims to obtain in-depth information about the motives behind the persecution cases of the LGBTI community in Makassar, as well as how the LGBTI community can survive in a society that rejects it. This research method uses ethnographic methods about why and how identity acceptance, group organizing, violence in relationships with partners, legality of partner status, diversity of identity construction, support system responses, and health behaviors are influenced by ethnographic methods, trying to answer what LGBTI communities and support systems do, to whom they do certain actions, and how people, LGBTI communities, and support systems deal with persecution cases as part of actions that violate the law. The results showed that the community is hampered in the acceptance of identity but makes efforts to organize the group; the source of violence comes from socio-economic crush; legally, there is no recognition of the state and citizens; the construction of diversity is not a serious problem; the response of the support system is a vacuum and is still in search of a formula, and community health behavior has not included safe sex. The conclusion of the research is that the LGBTI community is in a state of anxiety, worry, and fear because of the potential for persecution, physical violence, and verbal violence at any time, while the support system, such as the community empowerment office, social service office, health office, village, community association, neighborhood association, religious leaders, community leaders, and community organizations, have not made real efforts such as dialogue or formal meetings for the security and safety of the lives of LGBTI communities.

Use Of TikTok Slang Among Malaysian Generation Z

This study examines the usage of TikTok slang among Generation Z. The specific objectives are to 1) determine the perceived frequencies of usage; 2) identify the contexts during which TikTok slang are used; 3) determine how the slang are acquired; and 4) find out the reasons why the slang is used. The participants were 102 Generation Z participants aged 10-25 in Malaysia. An online questionnaire was used to collect data. The results showed that 52% of the participants frequently used TikTok slang in communication but 6.9% never used it. As for sources of acquiring slang, social media was the most influential. Friends are more important than family in spreading use of TikTok slang, mainly because TikTok slang is mostly used among young people rather than adults. Over half of the participants frequently used TikTok slang at school or at work but less during social gatherings, and the least during formal meetings. The main reason for the Generation Z participants to use TikTok slang is for fun (73.5%) but one-third of the participants used slang to be creative, show solidarity with ingroup and to be efficient in communication. The study suggests that TikTok slang has possibly spread from social media use into face-to-face communication in school and work settings.

WORKING TOGETHER TO PROVIDE GERIATRIC CARE: INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM CREATION AND EVALUATION IN CANADA

Abstract Prince Edward Island is Canada’s smallest province (pop. 160,000) and has one of the oldest populations in Canada. While there is a robust and growing geriatrics program through provincial healthcare, it consists exclusively of medical providers (i.e., geriatricians and nurse practitioners). An opportunity for formal interprofessional collaboration presented itself when the University of Prince Edward Island began a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) program in 2019. Soon thereafter, we established an interdisciplinary team between the PsyD and the provincial geriatrics programs. The goals of the team included: 1) enhancing care for older adults on the island, 2) providing training for PsyD students, and 3) increasing interprofessional collaboration and learning. In an evaluation of the first year of the collaboration, we collected data on the types of referrals and characteristics of the patients referred (e.g., number of medications), and asked all providers on the team (N=4 geriatricians, N=9 nurse practitioners, and N=4 psychology student clinicians) to answer open ended questions on the highlights and challenges of establishing the team, the organization of formal team meetings, and provision of patient care. Of the 74 patients seen by psychology, reasons included cognitive or psychodiagnostic assessment (N=22, 30%), psychotherapy (N=20, 27%), caregiver support (N= 25, 34%), or multiple services (i.e., both assessment and intervention; n=7, 10%). Additional patient characteristics will be shared, as well as themes from provider survey responses. Our program has implications for other areas in rural North America, particularly training opportunities built into our team functioning.

문화역사적 활동이론 관점에서 마을교육공동체 활동 분석과 활성화 방안

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze the process of creating, continuously growing, and evolving vil-lage schools in Gyeongnam Innovation City. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the activity system of village schools, based on Engestöm's Cultural Historical Activity Theory, and to study the growth and change of village schools which arose from the process of resolving contradictions.
 Methods We conducted a literature research, in-depth interviews, and participant observation, and analyzed the activity system based onEngestöm's Cultural Historical Activity Theory. Two in-depth interviews were conducted first with all village teachers at S village school and secondly with key managers among village teachers.
 Results The results of analyzing the village school's activity system from the perspective of cultural-historical ac-tivity theory are as follows. The five-year activity period of the village school is largely divided into two periods ac-cording to the contradictions and differences of the subject, tool, and object of the activity system. The main con-tradiction came from the difference in the individual situation and activity of the village teachers, and the differ-ence in perception between the village teachers who watched the identity and activity of the village school. The contradictions that appeared in the tool began with the practical difficulties of recruiting students, leading to two conflicting opinions: one to expand to resident participation activities and one to focus on student-centered activities. The contradictions in the community elements were expressed as the community's lack of under-standing of the village school, the absence of governance, and the uncertainty of financial support for the public offering project. The factor that led to the occurrence of expanded learning by overcoming major contradictions was that through continuous formal and informal meetings such as general meetings and teacher learning centers within the village, emotional intimacy was formed between village teachers and relationships expanded, thereby overcoming contradictions and conflicts. It appears that a new activity system has been creatively created.
 Conclusions In the results of this study, the elements necessary for the sustainability of village schools and vital-ization of village educational communities are as follows. First, it is a democratic communication structure and continuity of learning within the members. Second, the direction and activities of the village school can change, and this must be discussed and agreed upon with the village school members. Third, it is necessary to expand the range of contact with residents in the village and to have a network with the community in the village. Finally, it shows the need for the role and support of the Happy Education District and local governments in the formation of public, government, and academic governance for sustainable activities.

Practical implications of workplace ostracism: a systematic literature review

PurposeThis review analyzes data from research articles published from 2010 to 2022 related to workplace ostracism which include theoretical or empirical practical implications. The primary motive of this review is to identify main themes of practical implications relevant to workplace ostracism.Design/methodology/approachIn total, 86 research articles published in 56 journals were retrieved from six well-known management science databases, namely, Science Direct, Emerald Online, Springer Link, Taylor and Francis, Wiley and Sage. The affinity diagram was utilized to organize the practical implications of the studies into meaningful themes. Moreover, in order to prioritize the main themes, the Pareto diagram was utilized.FindingsEleven themes have been used to categorize the practical implications of the reviewed articles, demonstrating various human resource (HR) interventions for avoiding or limiting the feelings of ostracism at work. Specifically, they focus on training and development, culture, formal and informal meetings, interpersonal relationships, task interdependence, monitoring, trust and transparency, proper channel, job autonomy and individual characteristics.Originality/valueWhile many systematic and traditional literature reviews have been undertaken in an attempt to thoroughly organize extant literature on various aspects of workplace ostracism, no study has addressed the main themes of practical implications vis-à-vis employees experiencing workplace ostracism. Moreover, the majority of them are apparently out of date (prior to 2019), and there is just one study undertaken up to 2020.

Effect of counseling services on career choice of secondary school students in Anambra state, Nigeria

Many students have made wrong choices in their quest to making a career choice because they failed in making the right choice of counselling administrator. This study examined how counselling services affected the career decisions made by secondary school students in the state of Anambra. The specific aim at evaluating the effect of counselling orientation, appraisal, and follow-up services. The study adopted descriptive survey research design to examine the effect of counselling services on career choice of students in Anambra State. Multiple regression analysis (MRA) was used to test the hypothesis. There are an infinite number of educators and guidance counsellors in the population. Two hundred sixty-seven teachers and school counsellors were selected as the sample size. A questionnaire was used as the tool for data extraction. Data from a four-Likert scale were shown and analysed. The study found that career counselling services affect secondary school students' choices in Anambra. The results led to the conclusion that students in senior secondary schools can make wise career decisions with proper counselling services. The study recommended that directing students towards their areas of strength rather than choosing a career path that is unsuitable for them or that of their peers, can help the students with career decisions. Again, hiring counsellors with formal training and regular meetings between these counsellors and students to discuss issues that affect students' academic performance should also be a priority for school administrators.

National security in presidential time: The politics of the National Security Council

AbstractThe National Security Council (NSC) is the preeminent national security feature of the modern U.S. presidency. The NSC is the president's council, but presidents have varied dramatically in how frequently they have convened formal meetings of the NSC since the NSC system was created in 1947. Under what conditions are presidents likely to hold NSC meetings? I argue that presidents are pragmatic about when to engage personally in national security affairs and that presidents are incentivized to conduct NSC meetings more frequently early in a presidency. Using a novel data set of all NSC meetings from 1947 to 1993, I find that presidents are likely to hold NSC meetings most frequently in the first year of office and that NSC meeting frequency is likely to decline substantially over a president's first 3 years in office, even after controlling for important international security conditions and domestic political factors previously thought to influence presidential national security behavior. The results affirm prior scholars' description of the NSC as a presidential mechanism for international crisis management but also suggest that time in office is an important determinant of presidential national security behavior.

Stakeholders’ priorities in the development of evidence-based practice competencies in rehabilitation students: a nominal group technique study

Purpose Clinically integrated teaching (CIT) is an effective approach for promoting evidence-based practice (EBP) competencies among medical students. Challenges towards the implementation of CIT in rehabilitation curricula include educators’ different conceptualizations of EBP, the perceived complexity of EBP and the boundaries between the academic and the clinical setting. This study aimed to identify tailored strategies to implement in rehabilitation programs and their affiliated clinical sites to support the development of EBP competencies among students in occupational therapy (OT), physical therapy (PT) and speech-language pathology (S-LP). Materials and methods Nominal group technique (NGT) with stakeholders from three rehabilitation programs in Canada, offering the professional master’s in OT and PT (n = 35 participants) and in S-LP (n = 8). Results The top two strategies identified in the OT/PT NGT were: 1) Developing a flexible definition of EBP that recognizes its complexity; 2) Providing clinicians with more access to the teaching content by pairing faculty with preceptors. The top two strategies identified in the S-LP NGT were: 1) Providing students with opportunities for decision-making with experienced clinicians; 2) Increasing interactions between faculty and preceptors using formal group meetings. Conclusion Findings laid foundations for future integrated knowledge translation projects to collaboratively implement, and test identified strategies.

Pandemic Impact on Early Career Researchers in the United States

This study’s research aim is to discover how the COVID-19 pandemic impacts early career researchers’ work lives, prospects, and scholarly communication behavior. Early career researchers (ECRs), including doctoral students, post-docs, and pre-tenure faculty, are the next generation of scientists, researchers, scholars, teachers, and academic leaders, and are considered “vulnerable” when compared to their more senior colleagues. Part of an eight-country study, we present findings from long semi-structured interviews of 22 ECRs within the sciences and social sciences from a variety of regions in the United States. Transcripts were approved by the participants and responses were coded into a project-approved spreadsheet for analysis. The coding sheets were multi-faceted, containing both quantitative and qualitative data. Key findings include loss of research productivity due to lab closures and/or human subject research. The most recurring negative impact is the loss of formal and informal in-person meetings. For the majority, the pandemic has not deterred ECRs to deviate from their chosen academic career paths.

Slugfest in a Virtual Sales Meeting: A Case Study on Toxic Work Culture

This case is about deteriorating organizational culture and climate at a bank due to toxic to behaviour of a senior manager who humiliates the team members during review meetings. The team members are totally out of focus, and they constantly miss the targets. Use of slangs by the senior manager has failed to motivate them to accomplish their goals. Rather, the team members have become irritable, depressed, and anxious. Can the scenario be upturned? The case raises more questions than it answers: Why the manager behaves in the manner he does in formal sales meetings? Why the team members tolerate unbecoming conduct of the manager? Why the team members never confront the manager over the use of slangs in formal sales meetings? How the toxic behaviour of manager impacts the organization in general and the team members in particular? What would be right measures for improving culture and climate in such organizations?

‘Challenging from the start’: novice doctoral co-supervisors’ experiences of supervision culture and practice

ABSTRACT There is a widespread interest in doctoral supervision, yet novice doctoral co-supervisors’ experiences remain understudied. The aim of this qualitative study is to explore how supervision culture and practice are experienced by novices. This thematic analysis is based on focus groups and in-depth interviews with 23 novice co-supervisors from two Swedish research-intensive universities. The study reveals three dimensions related to the challenging experience of the supervision culture, namely closedness, dependence and competition. Moreover, the analysis proves that co-supervisors’ practices are embedded within the ‘hidden curriculum’, here defined as the unplanned and implicit support outside formal meetings and activities. Novice co-supervisors bridge the gap between main supervisors and doctoral students and make the path to the doctoral degree smoother when engaging in emotional, intellectual, practical and mediation support. This study has practical implications and suggests improvements for co-supervision that would also benefit the doctoral students.
