The Role of Technology Use in Moderating the Influence of Social Capital and Work Environment on Teacher Performance

Many things are indicated as the driving force in improving performance, and the success of a graduate at the high school level cannot be separated from an educator (teacher). So this research aims to determine the moderating influence of the use of technology in encouraging performance between social capital and the work environment on teacher performance. This research uses a quantitative descriptive approach with primary and secondary data sources. The research population was all teachers in high schools in Sekotong sub-district, West Lombok, namely 91 teachers. Determination of samples using purposive sampling so that 91 teacher informants were obtained. The research instrument used a questionnaire distributed using Google Form. Data analysis method using path analysis and with SmartPLS 4.0 as a processing tool. The results of this research are that social capital is proven to have no significant effect on teacher performance, meaning that a wide and dense network of relationships does not have an effect on increasing teacher performance for high school/vocational school level teachers in Cendi Manik Village, Sekotong District, West Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. Meanwhile, the work environment has been proven to have a significant positive effect on teacher performance. This means that the better the work environment, the better the teacher performance will be at the High School teachers in Cendi Manik Village, Sekotong District, West Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. Then technology is not proven to moderate social capital and the work environment on teacher performance. This means that technology must be balanced with other things to support it, for example balancing knowledge with training and updating knowledge.

The Impact of ChatGPT on Academia: A Comprehensive Analysis of AI Policies Across UT System Academic Institutions

Since ChatGPT was released by OpenAI, an American company, in 2022 for the public, ChatGPT has become the talk of every town, as evident by its over 180 million users worldwide. This chatbot's ability to engage in human-like conversations, answer questions, and generate diverse content has sparked widespread debates across various fields, including education. In response to the growing rise and influence of ChatGPT, educators have contrasting opinions; some view ChatGPT as an opportunity, whereas others regard it as a challenge that needs to be addressed on time. In order to deal with the complexities caused by ChatGPT in the field of education, universities have formulated their policies on AI. Guided by the research question, "How does universities' policy on AI reflect academia's view toward ChatGPT?" this study attempts to review the AI policy of the nine academic institutions under the UT system of the United States. The primary goal is to understand the extent to which universities have adapted their policies in response to the challenges and opportunities posed by ChatGPT and how these policies reflect the broader sentiments within academia. To achieve this, this study reviews the universities' policies regarding AI using a qualitative data analysis methodology. The primary data sources include official policies, statements, and guidelines developed by the universities in response to the challenges and opportunities presented by ChatGPT. While reviewing the policies, the study determines whether ChatGPT is banned and why. Or embraced, and if so, in what ways? By examining these policies, the study aims to uncover the various approaches universities have taken to integrate or regulate the use of ChatGPT within academic environments. The thesis of this study is twofold. First, it seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of how US universities have responded to ChatGPT in the educational landscape. This involves identifying common themes, concerns, and strategies institutions employ to deal with the complexities introduced by this generative language model. Second, the study aims to contribute to existing scholarship by offering insights into how academia adapts to the influence of AI technologies like ChatGPT. This study examines the intersection of AI and education and the evolving nature of educational norms in the digital age by uncovering the diverse perspectives and approaches within university policies.

A scoping review of road traffic data systems in the Eastern Mediterranean Region

Background: Road traffic injury is a major global health risk, however, under-reporting of road traffic crashes data and the use of different reporting systems have made it difficult to compare data across countries. Aim: To examine published and grey literature for better understanding of available health and non-health road traffic data systems in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) countries. Methods: We conducted a systematic search of databases to identify studies reporting road traffic data systems in the EMR countries between 2011 and January 2022. We also searched grey literature on the websites of government, WHO, World Bank, UNICEF, regional economic commissions and other relevant institutions. We assembled the data in Microsoft Excel and presented the counts of data sources, data types and data quality. Results: We included 84 of 2238 studies accessed in this review. One-third of the publications was from the Islamic Republic of Iran while 10% was from Pakistan. Police databases were the primary sources of data in most of the studies (79%) while hospital and death registration systems together accounted for one-quarter of the databases. The most common indicators reported in the publications were deaths (61%), crashes (48%) and injuries (35%). Only 40% of the studies disaggregated their analyses by gender and 44% by age. No papers identified permanently linked data sources, although more than a quarter of the papers reviewed used some form of modelling or data mining. Conclusion: This scoping review highlights an over-reliance on police data, poor quality traffic data systems, and multiple stakeholders collecting similar data, leading to redundancy. EMR countries need to establish robust road safety data systems to provide data for relevant policies and interventions

Linguistically responsive formative assessment for emergent bilinguals: exploration of an elementary teacher’s practice in a math classroom

ABSTRACT This study explores the responsiveness of an elementary teacher’s support for emergent bilingual students by examining the connections between the teacher’s assessment expertise, formative assessment practices, and emergent bilinguals’ unique language needs in math classes. The study, which investigated the indicators that characterize a linguistically responsive and equitable formative assessment, included and prioritized the perspectives of emergent bilingual students. Primary data sources included classroom observations, teacher interviews, and student interviews. This study elucidates pedagogical practices that are beneficial for emergent bilinguals. It found that both emergent bilinguals and teachers generally agree on the best practices, including their understanding of the language support. However, at times, there is a discrepancy between what the teacher said and the support that emergent bilingual students need. This study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of what and how teachers should know and act for performing responsive formative assessments for emergent bilinguals. It has implications for further research and for teachers who work with emergent bilingual students in core content areas.

Identification and Positioning of Abnormal Maritime Targets Based on AIS and Remote-Sensing Image Fusion

The identification of maritime targets plays a critical role in ensuring maritime safety and safeguarding against potential threats. While satellite remote-sensing imagery serves as the primary data source for monitoring maritime targets, it only provides positional and morphological characteristics without detailed identity information, presenting limitations as a sole data source. To address this issue, this paper proposes a method for enhancing maritime target identification and positioning accuracy through the fusion of Automatic Identification System (AIS) data and satellite remote-sensing imagery. The AIS utilizes radio communication to acquire multidimensional feature information describing targets, serving as an auxiliary data source to complement the limitations of image data and achieve maritime target identification. Additionally, the positional information provided by the AIS can serve as maritime control points to correct positioning errors and enhance accuracy. By utilizing data from the Jilin-1 Spectral-01 satellite imagery with a resolution of 5 m and AIS data, the feasibility of the proposed method is validated through experiments. Following preprocessing, maritime target fusion is achieved using a point-set matching algorithm based on positional features and a fuzzy comprehensive decision method incorporating attribute features. Subsequently, the successful fusion of target points is utilized for positioning error correction. Experimental results demonstrate a significant improvement in maritime target positioning accuracy compared to raw data, with over a 70% reduction in root mean square error and positioning errors controlled within 4 pixels, providing relatively accurate target positions that essentially meet practical requirements.

Using juvenile movements as a proxy for adult habitat and space use in long‐lived territorial species: a case study on the golden eagle

Effective conservation management of wildlife species depends on understanding their space and habitat use. Telemetry has become the primary source of data for information on how species use space and habitats. However, animals can be difficult to capture, leading to limited sample sizes and thus low quality inferences. As some individuals may be easier to capture than others, it may be tempting to use them to make inferences about the studied population as a whole. Juvenile birds, in contrast to adults, are easy to capture while they are still in the nest. However, there are few studies on when and how they might serve to obtain a representative characterization of the habitat or space use of adults. This study investigated this by using GPS‐tracking data of 35 adult/juvenile dyads of golden eagles Aquila chrysaetos, with the juvenile and adult in a dyad sharing the same home‐range. We assessed juvenile‐to‐adult home‐range overlap and also compared their relative use of habitats within that space. We also analysed how these metrics evolved throughout the post‐fledging dependence period (PFDP). During this period, juvenile‐to‐adult similarity was more than 80% for the entire home‐range, whereas it was lower for the core area (approximately 60%). Habitat‐use similarity was high, at approximately 90% for both the home‐range and core area, both in land‐cover and topography. The similarity increased following the improvement of juvenile flight skills over a period of two months, to the extent that two months after fledging and until the end of the PFDP, habitat and space use of juveniles can be used to infer the home‐range and habitat requirements of adults. It would be valuable to study this ‘adult‐by‐juvenile replacement' approach in other species to determine whether it could be generalized, notably for species with a shorter dependence period or more complex social interactions.

Protection gaps: child soldier rehabilitation and militarized governance in Sri Lanka

Abstract Child soldier disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) practice has a strong normative commitment to protect children from harm and violence. However, there exist policy and research knowledge gaps in comprehending the translation of such norms in meeting the social and protective needs of children. In Sri Lanka from 2009, 594 former child soldiers from the Liberation Tamil Tigers of Elam (LTTE) underwent a national rehabilitation programme. National engagement with international child protection norms could not materialize from a militarized governance framework implemented at the end of the civil war. This article provides a primary source of data based on 45 semi-structured interviews with former boy and girl child soldiers from the LTTE. The Sri Lankan case-study demonstrates that the DDR programme resulted in the re-calibration of social and political control over child and adult participants. Former child soldiers' social and protective needs therefore remain complex and unresolved because of state generated structural violence related to poverty and militarization. The article advances a framework to account for a generational power dynamic of adult-child relations, and the politics of institutionalized protection to account for children's formal rehabilitation and return experiences.

In the Driver's Seat: Narrative-Based Counseling in Aphasia

Purpose: People with aphasia have been shown to experience higher rates of depression and mental health issues than stroke survivors without aphasia. Narrative-based counseling approaches to therapy in communication disorders have shown promise in several areas, such as stuttering. Little is known regarding how these approaches can be implemented with individuals with aphasia. This study sought to uncover what therapeutic processes could be utilized to overcome barriers to utilizing this approach with people with aphasia. Method: A qualitative case study design was utilized. The primary data source included audio-recorded intervention sessions of a narrative-based counseling approach. Secondary data sources included reflection journals produced by the clinician and artifacts created by the client, including letter written as a part of the therapeutic process and other documents co-constructed by the clinician and client that detailed the client's journey. Data were analyzed inductively, in which transcripts were coded by the researchers and compared across the data set until patterns were apparent in the data that were later defined as themes. Results: Analysis of data suggests that adapting narrative counseling techniques for success with people with aphasia consists of allowing adequate time for client response, building a therapeutic alliance, reiteration and saturation of solution-focused language and narratives, and maintaining a topic of conversation centered around aphasia. Conclusion: This study argues for further consideration of how narrative-based counseling techniques can be adapted and flexibly used in aphasia intervention.

Extreme Weather Disruptions and Emergency Preparedness Among Older Adults in Ohio: An Eight-County Assessment

AbstractThe disproportionate risks and impacts of climate change and extreme weather on older adults are increasingly evident. While especially true in disaster-prone areas, human-caused climate change introduces an element of uncertainty even in previously identified “safe” regions such as the Midwestern United States. Using a cumulative disadvantage and vulnerability-informed framework and descriptive statistics from multiple data sources, this article provides an overview of climate impacts, vulnerabilities, and county-level characteristics, focusing on older adults living in Central Ohio. A comparative multiple-case study methodology was used to triangulate regionally representative primary and secondary data sources to examine state and county-level measures of vulnerability, emergency preparedness, and disruptions caused by extreme weather among older adults across eight counties in Central Ohio. Seventy-eight percent of older adults in the sample reported being prepared for emergencies per Federal Emergency Management Agency guidelines. Older adults in Union County reported the highest rates of preparedness, while those in Fayette County reported the lowest. County-level rates of disruption of life activities by extreme weather ranged widely. Among the most rural in the region, Fayette County emerged as uniquely disadvantaged, with the lowest median income, the most vulnerable across multiple social vulnerability dimensions, and the most reported disruptions to life activities from extreme weather. County profiles offer a snapshot of existing vulnerabilities, socioeconomic conditions, special needs, preparedness, and current disruptions among older adults in the region and can inform resource mobilization across community and policy contexts.

“We know what we do”: an agency-structure analysis of political vigilantism in Ghana

Political vigilantism has come out as an offshoot of the violence that characterises multi party elections in Ghana. Several studies on political vigilantism give primacy to the role of structural factors in explaining the phenomenon in Ghana. However, such a notion deprives political vigilantes of any sense of agency and further evades how the understanding of the interaction between agency and structure can offer deeper insights into the phenomenon of political vigilantism. The paper argues that political vigilantes should be characterised as agents who can make decisions about the actions that they undertake and not solely determined by the constraints of structure. The actions of political vigilantes are mediated through social structures that shape the options available to them. Using purposive and snowball sampling techniques, 41 key informants were selected for the study in Accra, Kumasi and Tamale. The study employed both primary and secondary data sources. Whereas secondary data was sourced from desk reviews, primary data was collected through interviews and focus group discussions. The narratives were thematically analysed. The study findings show that members of political vigilante groups are conscious agents and for that matter decide and act either autonomously or relationally despite existing pressures from social structures. In addition, the paper shows that the exercise of agency among the vigilantes is inseparable from structure as the structure is reproduced and changed through the actions of the political vigilantes who in turn are shaped through the structures that they occupy. Therefore, policy responses to political violence should consider the two sides of the equation by working simultaneously on the behaviour of political actors and resolving the circumstances that facilitate political violence

Comparative Study of Al-Ghazali and Ibn Arabi's Theodicy Thoughts About Divine Love

<p><em>This research discusses the Covid-19 virus as an example of a case of suffering from the problematics of Theodicy, because Covid-19 has claimed lives, suffered economically, socially and academically, so that it appears that God is not all-just, not all-loving and not all-merciful. This research is qualitative research using descriptive analysis methods and comparative methods. This type of research is a literature review (Library Research) which uses a philosophical approach, and uses theodicy theory in the Covid-19 case. Primary data sources in this research include the works of Ibn Arabi, namely "al-Futuhat al-Makkiyah". Meanwhile, in Al-Ghazali's work, namely "Ihya Ulumuddin" part "Al-Mahabbah wa asy-Syauq wa al-Uns wa ar-Ridha". The results of this research are that Ibn Arabi and Al-Ghazali both answered that the Covid-19 suffering incident that was revealed by God to humans was not a form of wrath or punishment from God so that He is claimed to be God who is not Most Just, Not Most Merciful, and not all-loving, but as a manifestation of God, all-good, all-just, full of love and affection for His servants. However, the two have differences, namely in their path (the focal point of thought), Ibn Arabi's thinking which has a Sufistic pattern, namely on the basis of "Divine Love" with the focal point of adhering to the unity of existence (Wahdat al-Wujud). Meanwhile, in Al-Ghazali's thought, the style of his discussion is more Sufi in nature, namely on the basis of "Divine Love" with a focus on knowledge of God.</em></p>

Isbat Nikah Persperktif Maqosid Syariah

Marriage isbat is the validation of a marriage that has been carried out according to Islamic law but has not been registered in court and marriage isbat is carried out in the Religious Court. Meanwhile, in many cases, up to now there are still many people who have not registered their marriages. So, people who do not marry before a religious court must carry out a marriage isbat so that their marriage is recognized by the State. Based on statutory regulations, marriages must also be performed in the Religious Courts, because marriages that are not registered have no legal force. The type of research used in this paper is Library Research. Using primary data sources that use the main material from books from scholars. Secondary material as support for this research uses books, articles, papers that discuss the subject of marriage isbat. Based on research that has been carried out by researchers, it can be concluded that the implementation of marriage isbat is in accordance with the concept of maqasid sharia in safeguarding human benefit, so that marriage isbat is included in the realm of doruriyat maslahat in hifdzu an-nasl (protecting offspring) and hifdzu al-mal (protecting property) because can protect the rights of children and inheritance for children and wives.

Examining NSDUH's Assessment of Fentanyl Use: A Comparison of Trends in Fentanyl Use and Fentanyl Overdose Deaths from 2015-2020.

The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), as the primary source of epidemiological substance use data in the US, could illuminate trends in fentanyl use behaviors contributing to the opioid overdose crisis. We hypothesized that the trend in NSDUH prevalence of lifetime fentanyl injection would match the direction and magnitude of the trend in synthetic opioid overdose deaths. Using logistic regression, we modeled the 2015-2020 trend in synthetic opioid overdose deaths as a proportion of all deaths. We modeled contemporary trends from cross-sectional NSDUH data for (1) lifetime fentanyl injection, (2) past year prescription fentanyl (PF) misuse, (3) prescription tramadol misuse (the other synthetic opioid counted alongside fentanyl in the overdose deaths category), and (4) combined prescription fentanyl or tramadol misuse. Average annual NSDUH weighted sample size was 272,519,038 (51.5% female, 48.5% male). Synthetic opioid overdose deaths increased from 2015-2020 (OR 3.39, meaning the odds of a death being from synthetic opioid overdose in 2020 were 3.39 times the odds of death from that cause in 2015, 95% CI: 3.34, 3.44). None of the substance use trends significantly increased. Per NSDUH data, the prevalence of fentanyl misuse did not significantly increase in tandem with synthetic opioid overdose deaths from 2015 to 2020. Scrutiny of NSDUH's approach to assessing fentanyl misuse casts doubt on the utility of NSDUH fentanyl data collection. We acknowledge recent changes to the survey and recommend two further changes to optimize a vital source of data on behaviors related to the opioid overdose crisis.

The City of Boys: An ethnographic survey into the experiences of apprentices and urbanization of Onitsha City, Nigeria

This research critically examines the post-civil war Igba-boi apprenticeship system, unveiling its pivotal role in shaping Onitsha into a thriving urban economic hub through robust human capital development. The apprenticeship system forged between a trader-mentor and a mentee over a specific timeframe act as a conduit for passing on trade expertise. The symbolically rich mentorship process propels the mentee into independent entrepreneurship, with a conscious obligation to perpetuate the trade cycle by mentoring others, often recruited from rural areas, thereby initiating widespread urban migration in Onitsha city. By the post-Nigeria-Biafra War era, resonating mentor-mentee collaborations propelled Onitsha into an epicenter of urban politics and human capital development, answering the call of war starvation melted as an indemnity on the Igbo people by the Nigerian government. Employing go-along ethnographic and quantitative historical methods, the study draws from primary and secondary data sources, utilizing pseudonyms for anonymity. By adopting Innovation Diffusion Theory and Agency Theory as analytical frameworks, this research offers a fresh perspective on the Igba-boi system as an ‘unseen’ infrastructure for connecting the wealth gap. It explores communication channels, adoption rates, and economic impacts of innovative practices in Onitsha's economic development. Notable economic impacts include increased business efficiency, productivity, and market reach. Additionally, the study delves into urbanization dynamics, cultural influences, feedback mechanisms, and the long-term sustainability of innovations within the Igba-boi system. By synthesizing Innovation Diffusion Theory and Agency Theory, this research significantly contributes to the discourse on urbanization and economic development, presenting the Igba-boi system as a potent catalyst for inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable urban growth in alignment with the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
