Unlocking Success: Key Factors for International Mobility Program in Implementing the Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka Curriculum

This article is based on research conducted at nationally accredited State Islamic Higher Education Institutions (PTKIN) in Indonesia, which have already begun implementing the Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) curriculum. The informants serving as data sources consist of 15 students participating in the International Mobility Program (IMP). A qualitative case study gathered data from interviews, observations, and documentation. The research emphasizes that the determinants of IMP success in supporting the implementation of the MBKM curriculum consist of four aspects: 1) through the ability to adapt well to a new environment, students gain learning experiences outside the campus by adjusting and respecting cultural differences in the destination country; 2) through international language proficiency, students are increasingly trained to conduct high-quality research and communicate effectively creatively; 3) through their interest in challenges and adventures in foreign campuses, students confidently present in international forums; 4) through the transformation of a global perspective, students are motivated to pursue further studies abroad and intend to participate in international programs in the following years. Understanding and emphasizing these factors is crucial for optimizing the benefits derived from international mobility initiatives within the unique context of religious higher education institutions.

Paths to Permanence: Permit Categories and Earnings Trajectories of Workers in Canada's International Mobility Program

La présente étude utilise la Base de données longitudinales sur l'immigration pour analyser les trajectoires de revenus des immigrants en deux étapes au Canada, dès leur permis de travail temporaire initial. L'objectif principal de la recherche est d'arriver à d'importantes conclusions sur la relation entre la catégorie de permis de travail temporaire et l'intégration au marché du travail des nouveaux arrivants et des nouvelles arrivantes. Axée sur les quatre sous-catégories principales de permis du Programme de mobilité internationale—titulaires d'un permis de travail postdiplôme, Permis de travail ouverts aux membres de la famille des travailleurs étrangers ou époux/épouses et conjoint·e·s de fait des titulaires d'un permis d’études, personnes mutées à l'intérieur d'une société ou programme vacances-travail—, la recherche explore la façon dont les résultats sur le marché du travail de ces divers titulaires de permis de travail temporaires se comparent à ceux des immigrant·e·s à une étape arrivant directement de l’étranger. Les conclusions mettent en relief les différences significatives dans les résultats sur le marché du travail au sein de la population immigrante, compte tenu de la catégorie de permis de travail précis avant la migration. Notamment, les personnes avec un permis de travail postdiplôme et les personnes mutées à l'intérieur d'une société ont des revenus initiaux plus élevés que les personnes sans permis de travail ou d’études préalables. À l'inverse, les participant·e·s au programme vacances-travail ont des revenus initiaux plus faibles et le revenu de titulaires de permis pour conjoint·e·s varie selon le genre. De plus, l’étude note diverses tendances en matière de croissance des revenus annuels dans le temps, associées à différents types de permis. On discute des conséquences de ces résultats en ce qui concerne les politiques. Note des rédacteurs : Le premier volume de Canadian Public Policy/Analyse de politiques a été publié en 1975. Ce volume-ci est le cinquantième. Pour commémorer cet événement, nous avons organisé une série de conférences qui sont publiées dans ce numéro spécial. La professeure Banerjee a donné cette conférence dans un webinaire organisé par la chaire d'excellence en recherche du Canada en migration et intégration en juin 2023.

Percutaneous tendon dry needling and thrust manipulation as an adjunct to multimodal physical therapy in patients with lateral elbow tendinopathy: A multicenter randomized clinical trial

Objective The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of adding electrical dry needling and thrust manipulation into a multimodal program of exercise, mobilization, and ultrasound in patients with lateral elbow tendinopathy. Design Randomized, single-blinded, multicenter, parallel-group trial. Setting Thirteen outpatient physical therapy clinics in nine different US states. Participants One hundred and forty-three participants (n = 143) with lateral elbow tendinopathy were randomized. Intervention Cervical spine manipulation, extremity manipulation, and percutaneous tendon electrical dry needling plus multimodal physical therapy (n = 73) or multimodal physical therapy (n = 70) alone. Main measures The primary outcome was elbow pain intensity and disability as measured by the Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation at baseline, 1 week, 4 weeks, and 3 months. Secondary outcomes included the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Tennis Elbow Functional Scale, Global Rating of Change, and medication intake. Results The 2 × 4 analysis of covariance demonstrated that individuals with lateral elbow tendinopathy receiving electrical dry needling and thrust manipulation plus multimodal physical therapy experienced significantly greater improvements in disability (Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation: F = 19.675; P < 0.001), elbow pain intensity (Numeric Pain Rating Scale: F = 22.769; P < 0.001), and function (Tennis Elbow Function Scale: F = 13.269; P < 0.001) than those receiving multimodal physical therapy alone at 3 months. The between-group effect size was large for pain and disability (Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation: standardized mean difference = 1.13; 95% confidence interval: 0.78, 1.48) in favor of the electrical dry needling and thrust manipulation group. Conclusions The inclusion of percutaneous tendon electrical dry needling and thrust manipulation into a multimodal program of exercise, mobilization and ultrasound was more effective than multimodal physical therapy alone in individuals with lateral elbow tendinopathy.

Navigating the Global Landscape: Dynamics and Impacts of Internationalization in Higher Education

The internationalization of higher education stands as a multifaceted phenomenon characterized by a myriad of driving forces, mechanisms, and consequential impacts. This paper seeks to elucidate the intricate nature of this global trend, exploring its diverse dimensions and evaluating its implications for institutions, stakeholders, and the broader socio-economic landscape. Central to the discourse on internationalization is the evolution of higher education in response to globalization. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, institutions of higher learning face growing imperatives to engage in cross-border collaborations, foster cultural diversity, and prepare students for a globally interconnected workforce. The paper navigates through the underlying rationales propelling this transformation, shedding light on the economic, social, and academic motivations that drive institutions towards internationalization strategies. The mechanisms facilitating internationalization manifest through a spectrum of initiatives, including but not limited to student mobility programs, collaborative research ventures, cross-border partnerships, and curriculum internationalization. This paper delves into the efficacy of these strategies, evaluating their impact on enhancing academic quality, fostering intercultural competencies, and promoting knowledge exchange across borders. Furthermore, it examines the challenges and opportunities inherent in implementing these mechanisms, considering issues of equity, linguistic diversity, and varying academic standards across regions. A critical aspect of internationalization is its impact on stakeholders within higher education. Faculty members, administrators, and students experience a transformed academic landscape as they engage in global collaborations, navigate diverse cultural contexts, and adapt pedagogical approaches to accommodate internationalized curricula. This paper assesses the roles and experiences of these stakeholders, exploring how they contribute to and are affected by the internationalization agenda. While acknowledging the transformative potential of internationalization, this paper critically examines its limitations and ethical considerations. It addresses issues of cultural hegemony, power imbalances in global knowledge production, and the commodification of education. Moreover, it discusses the potential for unintended consequences, such as brain drain from developing countries and the commercialization of higher education. In conclusion, this paper synthesizes the complexities of internationalization in higher education, offering insights into its multifaceted nature, driving forces, operational mechanisms, and far-reaching implications. By providing a nuanced understanding of this phenomenon, it aims to inform policy discussions, guide institutional strategies, and stimulate further scholarly inquiry into the evolving landscape of higher education in a globalized world.

The business case for hospital mobility programs in the veterans health care system: Results from multi-hospital implementation of the STRIDE program.

To conduct a business case analysis for Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) program STRIDE (ASsisTed EaRly MobIlization for hospitalizeD older VEterans), which was designed to address immobility for hospitalized older adults. This was a secondary analysis of primary data from a VA 8-hospital implementation trial conducted by the Function and Independence Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI). In partnership with VA operational partners, we estimated resources needed for program delivery in and out of the VA as well as national implementation facilitation in the VA. A scenario analysis using wage data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics informs implementation decisions outside the VA. This budget impact analysis compared delivery and implementation costs for two implementation strategies (Replicating Effective Programs [REP]+CONNECT and REP-only). To simulate national budget scenarios for implementation, we estimated the number of eligible hospitalizations nationally and varied key parameters (e.g., enrollment rates) to evaluate the impact of uncertainty. Personnel time and implementation outcomes were collected from hospitals (2017-2019). Hospital average daily census and wage data were estimated as of 2022 to improve relevance to future implementation. Average implementation costs were $9450 for REP+CONNECT and $5622 for REP-only; average program delivery costs were less than $30 per participant in both VA and non-VA hospital settings. Number of walks had the most impact on delivery costs and ranged from 1 to 5 walks per participant. In sensitivity analyses, cost increased to $35 per participant if a physical therapist assistant conducts the walks. Among study hospitals, mean enrollment rates were higher among the REP+CONNECT hospitals (12%) than the REP-only hospitals (4%) and VA implementation costs ranged from $66 to $100 per enrolled. STRIDE is a low-cost intervention, and program participation has the biggest impact on the resources needed for delivering STRIDE. ClinicalsTrials.gov NCT03300336.

The empirical results consistently show that an education experience abroad has a modest but statistically significant positive effect on environmental concerns. This finding sheds light on the important role that studying abroad can play in promoting environmental awareness among the youth.

The Impact of the Cold War on the Afghan Society

The article is devoted to the policies of the global players of the Cold War using the example of Afghanistan. Noting the features of the Afghan policy of the Cold War, the author highlighted the key content of the very concept of the Cold War, political events in Afghanistan, internal and external challenges, ethnic problems and the problem of women during the Cold War. The influence of geopolitical processes on the development, internal and external interests of Afghan society in the 20th century, the social, economic and political consequences of the Cold War, features of the development of the political system and political culture of Afghanistan, ethnic problems in Afghan public discourse, etc. are considered. The author concludes that “The Cold War of the superpowers had a direct impact on internal political developments in Afghanistan, where parties and public organizations emerged as political structures with secular or Islamic ideology. The author comes to the conclusion that the internal political unity of Afghan society was not ensured for the reason that the Afghan elite was unable to form an ideology expressing national unity, and its individual parts preferred to serve the interests of one or another player without supporting the national interests of Afghanistan.The article was prepared according to the International Academic Mobility Program, organized by the National Research Institute of the Communications Development (Moscow) for young scientists from foreign countries.

Popularity of Social Networks Among Armenian Users

Now there is active debate about the influence of virtual (online) communication on real (offline) communication. Do online and offline communications complement each other, or will online communication gradually completely replace real (offline) communication, including in the professional and personal life of a modern person? If people stay at home and go about their daily activities without interacting with other members of society and this suit them, then they will not make efforts to create social connections outside the online sphere, and the field of real (offline) relationships is completely or significantly transformed. The article discusses: the spread of social networks among Armenian users, online and/or offline communication preferences of Armenian users in one or another area of life, depending on age, gender and the subject of communication. As a result of the study, conducted by questionnaire, preferences were identified on the basis of which users build online communication, which determines the purposes of using social networks in Armenia.The research was carried out with the financial support of Yerevan State University according to the scientific project “Mechanisms of dissemination and consumption of fake news in social networks”, 2022-2024. The article was prepared according to the International Academic Mobility Program, organized by the National Research Institute of the Communications Development for young scientists from foreign countries.

Mobility Is Medicine, Too: Creating a Culture of Mobility Amongst Hospitalized Patients With Cancer to Improve Patient Outcomes

Background: Despite decades of evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of multidisciplinary mobility initiatives in improving patient clinical outcomes, the impact of mobility programs in oncology-specific settings has been ignored. Objective: The objective of this initiative is to test evidence-based mobility interventions in a cancer care center to create a culture among clinicians that prioritizes patient mobilization. Methods: We compared postintervention and preintervention outcomes using logistic regression analysis and time-to-event modeling to assess hospital length of stay. Basic statistical methods assessed whether improving mobility influenced clinical outcomes and clinician culture. Results: Outcome data from 493 in the postintervention arm were compared to 498 patients in the preintervention arm. Patients in the postintervention group had 39% decreased odds of having the rapid response team called (confidence interval [CI] =0.39–0.97; P = .03) and 46% decreased odds of being admitted to the intensive care unit (CI = 0.29–1.02; P = .05) compared to the preintervention group. No safety issues were associated with these interventions. Conclusions: Hospitalized patients with cancer are especially prone to considerable debility due to their disease and treatment effects. Our initiative to create a mobility protocol in 1 medical unit resulted in positive clinical outcomes. Implications for Practice: Findings from this study can be used to increase recognition of the benefits of mobility programs for hospitalized cancer patients. What is Foundational: Promoting mobility in the hospital often involves collaboration among various healthcare professionals, including nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and physicians. This interdisciplinary approach ensures that patients receive holistic care tailored to their specific needs.

A study on the effectiveness of training in the operation of an electric mobility aid in severely mentally and physically handicapped children.

We examined whether operation training for children with severe mental and physical disabilities using recently developed electric mobility aids improves their skills in operating such aids and their daily activities. By doing so, we aimed to clarify the effectiveness of electric mobility aid operation training for children with severe mental and physical disabilities. Operation training and normal training using an electric mobility aid were conducted for 42 school-aged children with severe mental and physical disabilities, aged 8-18 years old. The trainee children were randomly assigned to two groups: 21 to the intervention group to receive operation training and 21 to the control group to receive general training. The intervention lasted 20 minutes/training session, with three sessions/week over a period of eight weeks. The Powered Mobility Program (PMP) and Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) were used for pre- and post-intervention assessments, and SPSS was used for two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). PMP scaled scores significantly increased (p = 0.001) in both groups, but there was no interaction effect. The PEDI scaled scores did not significantly increase in either of the two groups. The effects of the intervention and use of the electric mobility aid on the operating skills of children with severe mental and physical disabilities were explicitly demonstrated. Future long-term studies are required to clarify the effects of training in the operation of electric mobility aids on the subsequent development of severely physically and mentally handicapped children.

Effects of an Electronic Medical Records-Linked Diabetes Self-Management System on Treatment Targets in Real Clinical Practice: Retrospective, Observational Cohort Study.

This study evaluated the effects of a mobile diabetes management program called "iCareD" (College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea) which was integrated into the hospital's electronic medical records system to minimize the workload of the healthcare team in the real clinical practice setting. In this retrospective observational study, we recruited 308 patients. We categorized these patients based on their compliance regarding their use of the iCareD program at home; compliance was determined through self-monitored blood glucose inputs and message subscription rates. We analyzed changes in the ABC (hemoglobin A1c, blood pressure, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) levels from the baseline to 12 months thereafter, based on the patients' iCareD usage patterns. The patients comprised 92 (30%) non-users, 170 (55%) poor-compliance users, and 46 (15%) good-compliance users; the ABC target achievement rate showed prominent changes in good-compliance groups from baseline to 12 months (10.9% vs. 23.9%, P<0.05), whereas no significant changes were observed for poor-compliance users and non-users (13.5% vs. 18.8%, P=0.106; 20.7% vs. 14.1%, P=0.201; respectively). Implementing the iCareD can improve the ABC levels of patients with diabetes with minimal efforts of the healthcare team in real clinical settings. However, the improvement of patients' compliance concerning the use of the system without the vigorous intervention of the healthcare team needs to be solved in the future.

From Smartphone to Fabric: Mobile Embroidery Programming

Equipping the next generation with skills in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM), including computational thinking and graphic design, is crucial. Yet it can be difficult for young people to sustain interest in technology – particularly for girls due to persistent differences in their socialization. Project-based learning combining hands-on experience with fashion and design offers a promising means of sparking and sustaining interest in technology. Mobile embroidery programming is one such project, but there are still challenges to be overcome in transferring embroidery files to programmable embroidery machines as part of school courses or coding weeks. This report presents a device we developed that facilitates wireless file transfer. The embroidery file, encoded in a common format like DST, can be wirelessly transferred to the embroidery machine. We optimized the process of the embroidery workflow in a series of 14 workshops. Furthermore, we tested additional hardware for embroidery file transfer based on Raspberry Pi on a group of 18 participants. Our findings suggest that wireless file transfer may be useful with other maker devices such as 3D printers. The results will benefit schools, maker spaces, code clubs, and individual users seeking to engage in STEAM activities.

Fostering sustainability capabilities through experience: A case study on virtual mobility in STEM

For a 21st century facing cascading crises, including global pandemics, climate change, and social and economic disruption, education is more critical than ever. Universities, and consequently their curricula, have a responsibility to prepare all students and graduates to respond to and live within a disrupted, complex, and uncertain future. One way of preparing students to think and address complex global challenges is through international learning experiences. However, the global pandemic triggered an unforeseen disruption to student mobility and the acceleration of online learning environments, such as virtual mobility programs. To date there has been little exploration of how virtual mobility programs can be designed for science and their ability to foster sustainability capabilities within the discipline. This paper reports on the design (its curriculum and pedagogy) of an experiential virtual mobility program, designed and delivered during the pandemic. It illustrates an innovative, co-created, STEM-focused case study whereby learning focused on varied approaches to agricultural challenges and practices. Through the perspective of student participants, key education for sustainability capabilities of sustainability thinking, collaboration, affective learning, critical reflection, and interdisciplinary knowledge were analysed as themes and are discussed in relation to how these capabilities were shaped by the program design. We share this discussion to support and expand the use of further meaningful virtual experiences to foster sustainability capabilities in an international (online) setting by other University educators.
