Strategic Management of Hybrid Counseling: A Novel Approach to Addressing Quarter-Life Crisis Among University Students in Indonesia

This study aims to analyze the Hibryd Counseling Service (Islamic counselling) strategy to effectively prevent Quarter Life Crisis and prepare students who become agents of change for a better direction in college. Using interview, observation, and documentation methods, this study seeks to obtain data on the phenomenon of quarter-life crisis and the new approach. The data sources include critical stakeholders in the guidance and counselling laboratory. Data analysis was carried out through data transcription, coding, and categorization. The study results indicate that Islamic counselling is valuable in guiding individuals to overcome quarter-life crises by aligning psychological and spiritual aspects. Islamic counselling significantly contributes to helping individuals overcome quarter-life crises with a holistic approach involving spiritual, psychological, and social factors. Integrating Islamic values in counselling forms a solid framework to support young individuals facing life challenges. These findings provide important insights related to the effectiveness of the Islamic counselling approach in overcoming quarter-life crises through the integration of spiritual, psychological, and social values.

Explaining Crisis Situations via a Cognitive Model of Attention

Decision making in critical situations is a complex process. There are many processes to consider. This paper describes a theoretical approach to researching attentional processes and automatic unconscious processes in terms of metacognition. An application of the approach is presented to explain decision making and metacognition as a solution for ineffective cognitive biases during a crisis situation. Evidence is presented from studies on neuropsychology, cognitive control, and cognitive architectures. An application of the recently formulated semiotic methodology is implemented that allows the design of conceptual models of Attention as Action. The formulation of a general model of attentional processes is based on a set of rules. The crisis phenomenon, as the crisis situation trigger, is semiotically described and applied as insight for a crisis information system design that prompts its users toward self-aware internal decision making. The research conducted evidently shows how the approach can explain the design of several cognitive architectures. Pointing toward metacognition as a solution to a crisis phenomenon and cognitive biases, the paper shows that understanding human cognitive and behavioral processes can significantly improve management in a critical infrastructure crisis situation.

Suffering Together: Photos and Stories of Nsukka Residents During Nigeria's 2023 Currency Redesign Crisis

The Central Bank of Nigeria's (CBN) attempt to redesign the 200, 500, and 1000 naira notes by December 2022 led to a cash crunch and humanitarian crisis, exposing the federal government's shortsightedness and inherent weakness. Amidst the crisis that peaked between late January and February 2023, opportunities for social connections and shared experiences emerged. In this essay and visual archive, I explore the financial crisis phenomenon in Nsukka metropolis, Southeastern Nigeria, from a historical perspective, integrating personal insights, respondents' views, and archival sources. Analysis of observational notes, visual and textual data through the lens of Critical Theory reveals the importance of social connection and cultural ideology among Nsukka residents during a difficult time in Nigerian history. Photographic images of crowded bank scenes and remarks like "You are not the only person" evoke personal and public misery and frustration during the currency redesign crisis. The argument is that those in power can create complex situations like artificial scarcity of valuable commodities for questionable reasons, while the masses bear the brunt and enact and demonstrate servility in the process.

Bifurcations and mixed mode oscillations in a bi-stable plasma model with slow parametric excitation.

In this study, considering a bi-stable plasma model with slow parametric excitation, the bifurcation of periodic and chaotic responses as well as the resulting fast-slow motions is discussed analytically and numerically. For a nonautonomous fast sub-system, the generalized harmonic balancing method is utilized to obtain an averaged system. Bifurcation analysis about the averaged system shows that the critical manifolds form a S-shape structure. Meanwhile, supercritical and subcritical period doubling (PD) occurs on the upper branch simultaneously. As the frequency of the external excitation changes, bifurcation points on the limit cycle manifolds can present different relative locations. Moreover, an additional bi-stable structure induced by Cusp bifurcation emanates from the upper branch. On the other hand, the existence of a chaotic attractor and the corresponding boundary crisis phenomenon are verified using the Melnikov method and the basin of attraction. The structures of the numerical bifurcation diagram show good agreements with the analytical results. Considering two cases of low-frequency excitation, the corresponding fast-slow dynamics are discussed. It is found that, when the fast-slow flow passing the subcritical PD point, a low frequency with different magnitudes will lead to two patterns of bifurcation delay, i.e., the typical one and the excessive delay, which suppress the PD. As for the boundary crisis point, the slow passage effects show no distinct influence. Thus, three transition mechanisms based on two cases of the bifurcation structure are explained, including "fold of cycle-fold of cycle" type, "fold of cycle-delayed subcritical PD" type, and "fold of cycle-boundary crisis" type.

The Existence of the Quarter Life Crisis Phenomenon in Young Adults on Post-Covid-19 Mental Health in Parepare City Communities

This study aims to explore the phenomenon of Quarter Life Crisis among young adults in Parepare City before and after the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on mental health. This ex-post facto research involved young adults without permanent jobs in Parepare City. A purposive sampling technique was employed, with a total sample of 300 respondents. The study results indicate a significant effect of Quarter Life Crisis on Covid-19 prevention (Sig. 0.002 < 0.005) and on mental health (Sig. 0.014 < 0.05). A mental health workshop is proposed as an intervention to assist individuals experiencing a Quarter Life Crisis.

IDENTITY CRISIS IN LAUREN MYRACLE'S UNDER THE MOON: A CATWOMAN TALE

This article was conducted to study about the phenomenon of identity crisis through the portrayal of a literary work’s main character in Lauren Myracle’s Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale. The trauma of the main character affected her behaviour to be maladaptive. It also affected the main character’s identity crisis in her dream and fantasy. Furthermore, her identity crisis is fixated by the initiative versus guilt and the industry versus inferiority stages of development.

From crisis to "permacrisis" in media communication in Romania

The article examines how the crisis phenomenon is discussed in the Romanian public communication environment. The authors argue that in the current context, where society is marked by multiple crises, the term "permacrisis" has become relevant, describing a state of permanent crisis affecting the society at multiple levels. The authors analysed how the topic of crisis has been represented in the Romanian media, focusing on articles published online between 2017 and 2022. Through quantitative and qualitative analysis, the study highlights a significant increase in crisis-related mentions since 2020, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. This increase indicates a shift in public perception and media discourse, suggesting the normalisation and acceptance of the crisis as a constant state. Four dominant themes associated with the crisis were identified in media discourse: the economic crisis, the health crisis generated by COVID-19, the domestic political crisis and the crisis generated by the war in Ukraine. These themes illustrate the different facets of the permacrisis in Romania, from the economic and social impact, to political uncertainty and the consequences of pandemics and geopolitical conflicts. The paper highlights the importance of recognising and understanding the phenomenon of permacrisis in Romanian society in order to develop more effective strategies for managing crises and building a more resilient society.

ANALISIS PEMBIASAAN NILAI - NILAI AKHLAKUL KARIMAH SEBAGAI UPAYA PEMBANGUNAN KARAKTER PADA ANAK USIA DINI DI DAERAH TERDEPAN, TERLUAR DAN TERTINGGAL (3T) KABUPATEN ROTE NDAO

The phenomenon of a character crisis resulting in moral decline in the nation's generation should be overcome through the role of education as an effort to familiarize oneself with moral values. Schools and teachers have an important role in forming children's morals apart from family and parents in educating them, especially during the learning process. Facilitating the akhlakul karimah (noble character) needs of children in underdeveloped, outermost and frontier areas is an important and urgent challenge. This research uses a qualitative descriptive research approach. The aim of this research is to collect as much factual data as possible on the subject naturally in implementing the practice of akhlakul karimah values as an effort to build character in early childhood in frontier, outermost and disadvantaged areas (3T). Efforts to facilitate children's moral and moral needs are often not a top priority. Nevertheless, the importance of character and morality formation in children should not be ignored. To overcome this challenge, a collaborative approach between various parties, inclusive education that integrates moral values in educational programs, parent training, use of technology, community strengthening, and social skills development programs can be an effective solution.

TRUST RELATIONSHIPS AND PROFESSIONAL IDENTITIES IN GREEK PRIMARY SCHOOLS: A STUDY IN THE CONTEXT OF PERMACRISIS

In the present paper, we attempt to present and analyze the levels of trust in the school unit, both the existence of trust relationships and the degree to which they exist, as well as the quality that characterizes them. We focus on differentiated professional identities and whether these are related to levels of trust. The structural condition of the permacrisis is particularly important for the study. The fact that Greece's recent social, economic, and political context has been characterized by volatility also adds significant weight to the study. The debt crisis, as the starting point of the successive crises, the permacrisis, has brought about insecurity and uncertainty. At the same time, the social subject cannot act within the social and economic context. The permacrisis is a compound word, defined as a prolonged period of instability and insecurity, incorporating all the crises. Health, economic, environmental, and geopolitical crises, and the social subject's sense of yet another anticipated crisis. All these individual mosaics that each crisis brings gradually make up the setting for the diversification of the professional identity of the teacher. We chose mixed methods research as the methodological approach, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. Questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were used as research data collection tools. The target population included teachers and primary school headteachers of primary education school units in Western Greece. The research sample was extracted from these populations through simple random sampling, ensuring the sample's representativeness. This research, including the quantitative and qualitative approaches, was conducted from May 2023 to February 2024. The main results include that the condition of the permacrisis is gradually entering the micro level, negating the linear, and replacing it with the liquid. The risk society is no longer located only in the theoretical sphere but also in the lifeworld, in the everyday life of the social subject. We observed that it is evident that the social subject, and in our case, the teacher and the headteacher, is trying to cope with multiple changes and incorporate structural crisis, liquidity, and subjective risk into his actions. Several conceptualizations emerge by linking the phenomenon of the permacrisis with the phenomenon of the trust crisis.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0711/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Historical aspects of ethics in psychiatry : From the end of humanitarianism up to the Human Rights Convention

The establishment of academic psychiatry was completed around 1900. Simultaneously, in view of the societal crisis phenomenon the professional self-concept of the psychiatrist was shifted to aself-image, according to which psychiatry had to place its expertise at the service of the people and the country. This was particularly expressed in World WarI in the brutal dealing with the so-called war neurotics. In association with the so-called death by starvation of ca. 70,000 institution inmates, in the post-war period Karl Bonhoeffer debated a transformation of the term humanitarianism. The worst consequence of the rejection of humanitarian thoughts are the murders of invalids under National Socialism; however, legitimization of such crimes by alluding to collective ethics, as attempted by Karl Brandt, seems to be less than convincing. The reform of psychiatry initiated in the 1960s and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which came into force in 2008, have achieved prerequisites for asupportive psychiatry with reduced coercion, whereby many questions also in the legal and social systems must still be clarified.

Values of Character Education in The Qur'an

The phenomenon of character crisis is being intensively experienced by various age levels, which has an easy impact on society. Given that the Al-Quran is the source of all problematic answers, QS al-Baqarah verses 261-267 is one of the solutions to the character crisis as well as the cultivation and application of good character education, which has religious, personal, and social values. This research uses qualitative research with the type of library research. Meanwhile, the object of this research is Al-Qur'anul Karim. In conducting research, data collection techniques are carried out by collecting and classifying data; the final stage is grouping it according to the theory used. The results of the study show that the values of character education contained in QS Al-Baqarah verses 261-267 are: (1) religious character values , which include spending wealth in the way of Allah, wisdom from spending wealth in the way of Allah and regarding the prohibition of riya'; (2) the personal character values contained in the six verses are habitual and generous; and (3) three values of social care character were found, namely maintaining speech, caring to give the best that one has.

Impact of variable properties in natural convection airflows within simple and adiabatically-extended vertical tubes

Influence of variable thermophysical properties is investigated in airflows established by natural convection inside vertical tubes. Systematic numerical results are obtained for covering the entire range laminar to turbulent (modified Rayleigh number ranging 10−3–109), for both isothermal and isoflux heating conditions. Particular attention is devoted to the effects of variable properties of air. Own functions are used to take into account the variation of thermophysical properties as a function of temperature. Results are compared to those computed assuming the Boussinesq approach. For isoflux heating, it is proven that the disruptive effect consisting of the emerging of a critical heat flux and the consequent thermal crisis phenomenon, appear in the regarded cylindrical geometry. An analytical estimation of the critical heat flux is developed for vertical tubes, valid for the laminar regime, and an overall correlation is proposed for the laminar-turbulent range. The impact of the height and the widening of a funnel-shaped adiabatic extension is explored for selected values of the modified Rayleigh number, and the conditions under which its inclusion is beneficial to postpone the appearance of the crisis phenomenon, are determined.

Scout Extracurricular Curriculum Management in Improving Student Discipline in Madrasah

The phenomenon of a learning crisis occurred after the COVID-19 pandemic; discipline is one aspect that must be the main focus of schools during this learning crisis. At MTs Arifah, discipline is the primary goal of extracurricular scouting. This study aims to reveal curriculum management in improving student discipline in the scout extracurricular activities. This research also uses a descriptive qualitative approach to tell the facts of curriculum management of the scout extracurricular to improve student discipline. The results obtained from this study reveal that the management of scout extracurricular curriculum planning begins with preparing Prota and Promes as a reference for activities for one year and evaluations carried out by implicit means, namely oral reports by scout coaches to the principal; this evaluation is more effective because the principal is faster and understands the conditions of extracurricular scouting.

Pemaknaan lagu day6 zombie (english version) terhadap fenomena quarter life crisis: Studi pada kalangan mahasiswa ilmu komunikasi

The phenomenon of quarter life crisis is a phase when someone begins to feel unstable, doubtful, afraid, and indecisive to continue their life. Afterwards, this tendency developed into social issue that is prevalent among young generation these days. Preventive action to reduce the negative impact of the quarter life crisis is to utilize a coping mechanism as a self-defense strategy. A song with a specific message can help the process of dealing with or overcoming such a crisis. One of them is Day6's song Zombie (English Version). This study analyzes reception of the Day6’s song Zombie (English Version) among Communication Science students of University of Indonesia towards the quarter life crisis phenomenon. The study was carried out using qualitative methods and an interpretive paradigm. This study concludes that each informant is in various positions when interpreting the message content in the Zombie (English Version). Informants who are going through a quarter-life crisis tend to understand Zombie songs more profoundly and explicitly, connecting song lyrics with personal issues, instability, and lack of direction as well as querying the existence of life. A Zombie song can serve as a catharsis for coping strategies that help listeners convey their emotions and sentiments in a positive direction. Informants who haven't gone through a quarter-life crisis, however, will interpret the Zombie song more broadly, interpreting it as conveying grief, failure, and overall hesitation.

The Leadership Values of Sorogan Method as the Platform Salaf Islamic Boarding School in Roudlotul Fatihah

Learning in pesantren that lasts twenty-four hours indicates that every activity is education for students. Various characteristics such as religiosity, entrepreneurship, and leadership can be formed through existing activities, especially sorogan. The purpose of this study is to describe the application of hidden curriculum pesantren in instilling leadership values in Roudlotul Fatihah Traditional Islamic Boarding School through learning activities in the form of sorogan. This is because research on leadership through hidden curriculum is rarely revealed, in contrast to research on religiosity and entrepreneurship in the pesantren environment. In addition, this research can contribute to the current leadership crisis phenomenon. The author uses qualitative methods in processing data from field research using a phenomenological approach. The process of concluding the previous steps is data condensation and data presentation. The findings of applying hidden curriculum in the Raoudlotul Fatihah Traditional Islamic Boarding School in sorogan activities include the Quran, tools in the form of nahwu and shorof, and books of worship. Activities in pesantren have instilled leadership values in delegation, responsibility, truthfulness, accuracy, and initiation. The end of the study concluded that the hidden curriculum of pesantren has formed students to have leader values without realizing it with all the activities that have been carried out.

On the Necessity of Strengthening Thanksgiving Education for College Students

The basic content of gratitude education is to cultivate college students to love their country, cherish life, be filial to their parents, respect their teachers, care for others, respect nature, and so on. Gratitude education can encourage college students to think critically, approach life correctly, cultivate good habits, improve their quality of life, and enable them to not only face personal values but also consider others. It can also teach gratitude and make them more open-minded and have a more complete personality. In today's world of diverse values, it is necessary to strengthen gratitude education for college students, so that they can understand gratitude and learn how to be grateful. Economic globalization, political diversification, and information networking have become important features of the new era, gradually forming the diverse values of current Chinese society. Especially for contemporary college students with strong curiosity, outstanding personality, and strong acceptance ability, if they do not have gratitude towards their family, school, and their motherland, and cannot realize the importance of understanding gratitude and learning to be grateful for their current and future lives, it will be difficult to resist the misleading and erosion of various negative values in society. The phenomena of spiritual emptiness, moral deficiency, and crisis of faith that have emerged in society have been reflected in some college students. This requires us to timely and effectively provide gratitude education to the group of college students who are the driving force of socialist modernization construction, help them establish correct values, and form a healthy and upward spiritual outlook.

‘There was a bit of PTSD every time I walked through the office door’: Ransomware harms and the factors that influence the victim organization’s experience

Abstract Ransomware is a pernicious contemporary cyber threat for organizations, with ransomware operators intentionally leveraging a range of harms against their victims in order to solicit increasingly significant ransom payments. This article advances current research by engaging in a topical analysis into the depth and breadth of harms experienced by victim organizations and their members of staff. We, therefore, enhance the understanding of the negative experiences from ransomware attacks, particularly looking beyond the financial impact which dominates current narratives. Having conducted an interview or workshop with 83 professionals including ransomware victims, incident responders, ransom negotiators, law enforcement, and government, we identify a wide array of severe harms. For organizations, the risk of business interruption and/or data exposure presents potentially highly impactful financial and reputational harm(s). The victim organization’s staff can also experience a range of under-reported harms, which include physiological and physical harms that may be acute. We also identify factors that can either alleviate or aggravate the experiencing of harms at the organizational and employee level; including ransomware preparedness, leadership culture, and crisis communication. Given the scale and scope of the identified harms, the paper provides significant new empirical evidence to emphasize ransomware’s positioning as a whole-of-organization crisis phenomenon, as opposed to an ‘IT problem’. We argue that the wider discourse surrounding ransomware harms and impacts should be reflective of the nature of the real-term experience(s) of victims. This, in turn, could help guide efforts to alleviate ransomware harms, through improved organizational ransomware preparedness and tailored post-ransomware mitigation.

Кризис чтения в России: подходы, гипотезы, сомнения

The phenomenon of the reading crisis in Russia at the end of the 20th – beginning of the 21st centuries is considered and the reasons for its occurrence, including the «fragmentation» of the reading public, the peculiarities of reading in the electronic environment, the reduction in the number of «masters of thought» among writers, conflicting assessments of the modern literary process, the policy of book publishing, the teaching of literature at school, the state of public libraries, the sociocultural situation, the influence of the market economics and the specifics of postmodern reality. The most common hypotheses and points of view explaining the current situation are analyzed. It is concluded that the reading crisis is a systemic problem affecting various aspects of society. It can be overcome only by combining the efforts of specialists from different specialties, summarizing existing points of view and avoiding categorical assessments of the situation.

Kryzys konstytucyjny a tranzycja społeczna

The subject of this article is constitutional crisis. It accompanies social changes and transition. These problems are analyzed from the point of view of the transformations of the law and the political system. The stages of development of law presented by Philippe Nonet and Philip Selznick (repressive, autonomous, responsive law) constitute the basis for discussing the transformations of 1989 and subsequent political changes in the Republic of Poland. Since modern times, constitutional acts have determined the entire social and legal order of the state. They codify all changes that are both evolutionary and revolutionary. When discussing the problem of the constitutional crisis, reference was made to the concept of J.M. Balkin and S. Levinson. Using the example of the socio-political situation of the United States of America, the phenomenon of constitutional crisis and the stage preceding it called "constitutional rot" were discussed. The American exemplification is the starting point for the analysis of the ongoing transition in the Republic of Poland.
