Spread Of Knowledge Research Articles

Temporal clustering of social interactions trades-off disease spreading and knowledge diffusion.

Non-pharmaceutical measures such as preventive quarantines, remote working, school and workplace closures, lockdowns, etc. have shown effectiveness from an epidemic control perspective; however, they have also significant negative consequences on social life and relationships, work routines and community engagement. In particular, complex ideas, work and school collaborations, innovative discoveries and resilient norms formation and maintenance, which often require face-to-face interactions of two or more parties to be developed and synergically coordinated, are particularly affected. In this study, we propose an alternative hybrid solution that balances the slowdown of epidemic diffusion with the preservation of face-to-face interactions, that we test simulating a disease and a knowledge spreading simultaneously on a network of contacts. Our approach involves a two-step partitioning of the population. First, we tune the level of node clustering, creating 'social bubbles' with increased contacts within each bubble and fewer outside, while maintaining the average number of contacts in each network. Second, we tune the level of temporal clustering by pairing, for a certain time interval, nodes from specific social bubbles. Our results demonstrate that a hybrid approach can achieve better trade-offs between epidemic control and complex knowledge diffusion. The versatility of our model enables tuning and refining clustering levels to optimally achieve the desired trade-off, based on the potentially changing characteristics of a disease or knowledge diffusion process.

19. Yüzyılda Azerbaycan ve Osmanlı Türk Aydınları Arasındaki Etkileşim

The 19th century in the history of the Ottoman Empire and Azerbaijan was marked by a number of political events that led to a change in the direction of the socio-cultural development of the Turkic societies in both countries. The reforms of the first half of the 19th century in the field of education and culture with their development of new socio-political programs, the emergence of new socio-cultural phenomena, new genres of literature, ideological and political trends gave rise to a new social stratum - the intelligentsia. This stratum, as the main bearer of the advanced ideas of the time, will play a significant role in the enlightenment of their own peoples. And the interaction between representatives of both intellectual circles will contribute to the spread of new knowledge and ideas throughout the region. The present article deals with the interrelations between the Azerbaijani and Ottoman intelligentsia in the 19th century. The interpretation and analysis of historical context via structural-diachronic methods help us better understand the nature of these relations and the effect they had on the events of the early 20th century.

The culture of Kazakhstan of the Soviet period in the English historiography of the second half of the XX -early XXI centuries

The article provides an analysis of the work of English scientists who tell about the history of Kazakhstan in the Soviet period of the second half of the XX-early XXI centuries, the history of the local population, econ-omy, culture, traditions, religious beliefs. We consider historiography as a special historical discipline that studies the history of the accumulation of historical knowledge, the development of historical thought and re-search methodology, the history of the creation of historical works and biographies of scientists, the history of scientific institutions, the organization of historical education and the spread of historical knowledge. The main purpose of writing the article was to introduce researchers to the scientific environment, the modern community of readers. The article conducted a scientific analysis of the works of European and English re-searchers who wrote about the culture, traditions, and religious beliefs of Kazakhs in the period from the XXcentury to the beginning of the XXI century. According to the theory and methodology of scientific research, the methods of historicism, objectivity, historical comparative analysis and historical regularity were mainly used. In the post-war years, Anglo-American Sovietology proved its right to take a worthy place in World historiography, and was in demand not only in Western countries, but also in the countries of the for-mer Soviet Union. The most accurate and deep analysis was distinguished by the works of Jeffrey Wheeler, Walter Kolartz, Shirin Akiner, Sevket Akıldız, Richard Carlson, Violet Connolli, Sarah Cameron, Harun Yilmaz, Rico Isaacs. At the beginning of writing the article, the books and articles of these researchers of the Soviet history, including Kazakhstan, were taken as a basis

Frugal Innovations: Implementation in Regions of Poland

Purpose: The objective of the study is to assess the complexity of applying the attributes of frugal innovations in innovative enterprises located in three regions of Poland (i.e. A, B and C), as well as to compare the three regions. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study included 200 large innovative enterprises. The study listed the following number of enterprises belonging to individual regions: A – 154 entities, B – 39 entities, as well as C – 7 entities. Six hypotheses have been stated in the study. The empirical study considered quantitative methods and research techniques, i.e. the Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI) survey technique, and statistical analysis of quantitative data. The basic research tools were: the CAWI survey questionnaire, PS IMAGO PRO 7.0 software and Microsoft Excel. Findings: The study indicated that: (1) in the A and B regions – both in the area of shaping relationships with customers and shaping innovative processes –moderately high values of Indicator of the Complexity of Shaping Relationships with Customers (ICSRC) and Indicator of the Complexity of Shaping Innovative Processes (ICSIP) indicators were recorded, as well as in the C region, the values are moderately low for both indicators, (2) in the A region, there is a higher level of the complexity of applying the attributes of the concept of frugal innovations with respect to shaping relationships with customers and shaping innovative processes than in the B and C regions. Implications/limitations: In Poland, there are rather favorable conditions for the implementation of the attributes of the concept of frugal innovations – this is indicated by relatively small differences between the A and B regions. Therefore, in theoretically less developed voivodeships from the so-called Polish B region, frugal innovations are implemented. The research conducted indicates that greater emphasis should be placed on spreading knowledge about frugal innovations in the C Region, which can draw on the experience and support of the A region. Originality/value: The study raises a new issue in domestic science, concerning the implementation of the attributes of the concept of frugal innovations in various regions of Poland, i.e. the A, B and C regions.

The Effect of Showing COVID-19 Vaccination Educational Videos on the Knowledge Level of 10th Grade Darul Ulum 1 Jombang High School Students

Introduction: Hoaxes and respondents' ignorance of the significance of COVID-19 vaccination can both have an impact on respondents' adequate knowledge levels. Despite being one of the age groups most likely to spread the COVID-19 virus quickly, some teenagers may be reluctant to get vaccinated due to the spread of hoaxes; the reason for this is yet unknown. Teenagers are also a particularly susceptible age group, and it can be challenging to diagnose them with the virus. Young people must thus receive vaccinations. The younger generation, who may not know much about vaccinations, can benefit from education and socialization. According to Tindaon's (2017) research, video content has been shown to be more successful than pamphlets at spreading knowledge. Method: This study employs a clustered randomized controlled trial methodology in its research design. 10th grade students at SMA Darul Ulum 1 Jombang make up the research sample. Cluster random sampling is the method of sampling that is used. Univariate descriptive analysis and bivariate analysis with the Mann Whitney Test are used in statistical analysis. Result: The average knowledge score of the participants in this study rose as a result of watching instructional videos that provided health education. There were still students in the control group who did not watch any instructional videos. The study's findings indicate that after watching instructional videos, 10th-grade students at SMA Darul Ulum 1 Jombang's knowledge of the COVID-19 vaccination increased. Video educational media has been shown to be successful in raising students' understanding. Keywords: Educational videos, Increased knowledge, Covid-19 vaccination

Proposed Value Proposition and Business Model for VMCS Advisory Indonesia

The development of the business world and leadership in various industries depends on critical factors, including the role of corporate communications and public relations. Since the beginning of civilization, communication has facilitated the development of relationships between people and institutions, increasing reputation and spreading knowledge. With the advancement of the digital world, strategic communication has become increasingly important for managing reputation, both personally and institutionally. In a democratic climate and era of openness, strategic communication becomes more critical and must align with the mission, vision, and business goals. Various challenges arise, especially in formulating communication strategies, handling management issues and crises, coordinating between functions, and implementing communication campaigns; hence, external communication experts are needed to help nurture a company’s relationship with its stakeholders. This opportunity becomes the basis for establishing a communications and social impact consultant, PT Viem Advisory Indonesia (VMCS, abbreviation of Vera Makki Communications and Social Impact), in 2020. This study aims to formulate a value proposition, followed by proposing a business model that supports the value proposition and uses a qualitative descriptive analysis that takes data from interviews with representatives of communications industry experts, academicians, business leaders, and media. In addition, secondary data collection was also carried out, supported by a review of academic literature, basic theory, and conceptual frameworks, which systematically guided the start of a business in the communication and social impact consulting field. With this foundation, this study describes the business analysis, solutions, and recommendations to build VMCS with the right value proposition and business model. This study is designed so that VMCS can become a leader in the communications industry, with the uniqueness of not only focusing on profits in the business world but also prioritizing social impact and sustainability.

Understanding Radicalization: Terrorist Behavior at odds with Pancasila

The dynamics life of society is constantly changing, both positively and negatively. The loss of high moral standards and ideals in society, particularly the implementation of the Pancasila values, can result in negative changes. The growth of radicalism and the frequent occurrence of terrorist actions in Indonesia are two examples of how Pancasila values are eroding. These are some of the goals of this activity: First, spreading knowledge about terrorism, radicalism, and their relationship as they conflict with Pancasila ideals Second, raise people's knowledge and awareness of the risks posed by terrorism and radicalism. Third, promote understanding of radicalism and terrorist acts through socialization. Students in class XII IPS 3 SMA Negeri 1 Medan will be exposed to information on radicalism, terrorism, and other behaviors that are against Pancasila ideals through lectures and discussions. Results from socialization activities revealed that pupils had a positive mindset. The socialization participants thought that this exercise could raise knowledge and awareness of the risks associated with radicalization and terrorist acts that are at odds with Pancasila ideals. Evidently, socialization participants are dedicated to making an effort to incorporate Pancasila values into their daily life.

An Analytical Study on the Implementation of a Healthcare App to Assist People with Disabilities Using Cloud Computing and IoT

This study targets a group of people who require care, that is, people with special needs. The significance of this study lies in addressing the main problem that this group suffers from, which is the lack of awareness and information that leads to the acceptance of that group in society. This work aims to create a mobile application that contributes to spreading knowledge among people with special needs and enhancing their skills to help them become accepted by community members. This application supports people with special needs with training resources, education, suitable jobs, and other services helping them in developing their experiences and knowledge to be active in society. In addition, an evaluation questionnaire has been developed to collect data from both the private and public sectors to classify the building blocks necessary for KSA to incorporate the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing into the healthcare sector. As a result, most respondents acknowledge the importance of a streamlined data-gathering process, the IoT, and cloud-based computing to meet their healthcare needs. Lastly, six main blocks for checking suppliers and the public to accept IoT and cloud healthcare applications are then acknowledged in this paper.

European Heritage Label-based Education as an Essential Part of Memory Education – The Polish Case

The purpose of this article is to show how the EHL is used for the interpretation, awareness, and transmission of heritage and memory. As part of the EU European Heritage Label (EHL) program, Polish institutions received six distinctions in the years 2014-2019, which places Poland high in the ranking of the awarded Brands in Europe. Polish institutions are obligated to spreading knowledge about the cultural heritage of Europe. On the one hand, EHL’s task is to raise awareness and transmit common values, elements of European history, and heritage, which can be interpreted as promoting “uni memory.” On the other hand, EHL aims to deepen intercultural dialogue and synergy, recognizing the values of diversity, which can be understood as promoting the idea of plural memory. The EHL organizers in Poland are obliged (by the provisions of the EU Program) to conduct a European narrative, but in practice, they sometimes remain at the stage of restoring and refreshing the memory of the site, organizing local memory, and revising the regional policy due to “dormant memory” during the communist period.

Orchid Value: Uncovering Its Significance for the People of Assam- A Review Analysis

Orchids are one of the largest groups of Angiosperms belonging to the family Orchidaceae. They are no doubt one of the most beautiful and fascinating flowers of nature and are highly popular as ornamental plants in both national and international markets. Besides ornamental value, orchids have immense ethnomedicinal significance. In Assam, orchids have been associated with the culture of Assamese people since the past, especially in the traditional system of medicine used and described by the ethnic communities and tribes. The present paper emphasizes the medicinal uses of some of the orchids of Assam and their use for curing various ailments. However, with the advent of modern civilization and the lack of spread of proper ethnomedicinal knowledge, its awareness and beneficial values are slowly declining. Therefore, the preservation and conservation of these orchids by modern biotechnological approaches along with proper propagation of their ethnomedicinal values is necessary for their benefit to humanity.

Digital Humanities: Spike Up Literature and Language Learning Via Social Media

From the early morning newspaper to the fairy-tale books for kids that are usually read before bedtime are now available in the tip of fingers in the form of e-news and e-books. This paper highlights the influence of social media on language learning and literature in our daily lives. During the pandemic, the usage of digital humanities heightened. Social media plays a prominent role in spreading knowledge about foreign languages and cultures. The effect of social media has encouraged plenty of common people to acquire knowledge about their targeted language through online platforms. For example, the K-wave during 2019 and 2020 had a great impact on youngsters which made them learn the Korean language and culture to get greater insight about current trends. Devolved nations are now completely digitalized and as a developing nation, India is also moving towards digitalization. Digital humanities definitely will ameliorate the learning of new languages.

Key Strategies to Publishing Your Quality Improvement Work.

Improving quality and safety is a goal in health care, and sharing quality improvement (QI) work with internal and external audiences is key to spreading knowledge and ideas for change. Peer-reviewed journals are interested in manuscripts reporting QI work. Although QI work is methodologically different from traditionally published research articles, it can be publishable if conducted in a way that is scholarly and well-planned. The authors suggest that key strategies to producing publishable, scholarly improvement work exist within two broad categories: rigorous work and compelling writing. Rigorous improvement work includes the following four key components: (1) understanding baseline processes, (2) developing a solid methodology and measurement plan, (3) analyzing and describing context, and (4) clearly explaining the intervention. Creating compelling writing includes clear team expectations that are defined early in the process, including authorship and division of the work. The team should identify a journal early in the process and follow a clear plan for team writing that includes an outline and frequent feedback. Elements of rigorous QI work and compelling writing align to develop strong material for publishing scholarly QI work.

Some Thoughts about Open Science: A Few Challenges and a Great Opportunity for Science

Open Science focuses on spreading knowledge generated by scientific research as soon as it is available using digital and collaborative technology. The aim is to make science more accessible, inclusive, and equitable for the benefit of all. In this article, I will discuss some of the challenges and opportunities of this approach to the scientific process towards a comprehensive, effective open science from my perspective as a scientist in biology and health sciences. My aim is to share this with the academic community, since as Vice-Rector for Research and as scientist, I think this is one opportunity that we do not want to miss.

An Unintended Consequence: How the Modern Austrian School System Helped Set Up the Slovene Nation

Abstract The Austrian school reforms of the 1850s and 1860s, inspired by the mindset of the democratic and civic revolutions of 1848, turned a predominantly feudal and religious school system into a modern one and brought basic education to the masses. In the following decades, literacy increased, basic knowledge spread, and the overwhelming influence of the Catholic church in school matters diminished. Yet, as an “unintended consequence,” these reforms also had great implications for the process of building what turned out to be “the Slovene nation.” This article aims to illustrate that the formation of Slovene national identity—based on the use of the Slovene language as the main marker of Slovene ethnicity—was implemented to a large extent with the help of the Austrian school system and its efforts at centralization, systematization, and modernization. Measures like the creation of a school subject for the Slovene language, Slovene reading materials in school textbooks, and statistical categorization within school administrations played a crucial role in that process.

Axiological Analysis of Knowledge Cultivation and Its Contemporary Contextualization (Study of Umar Bin Khattab's Thought)

The axiological known today in the educational sector in principle has been applied by Umar bin Khattab. As a caliph who was more concerned with managing the political stability of his period, of course, linking him to educational theory was rather difficult. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to reveal Umar bin Khattab's ideas about the benefits and value of the spread of knowledge through the axiological approach of philoSophy. The method used is literature-based qualitative (data Sources are literature related to the thoughts of Umar bin Khattab) and analyzed descriptively. The results of his research are axiological values in the thought of Umar bin Khattab in the form of 1) religious value: the creation of peace of mind, morals to educators, and becoming capital in worship, 2) the value of truth and goodness: knowledge can consider one's behaviour and work is right and good Sothat it can get sustenance for him and benefit others, 3) Social value: a gainer of knowledge must provide benefits to Society and must not harm it in the slightest, and 4) Islamic economic value: the acquisition of material from the acquisition of knowledge with halal and good. Contextualizing the four values in the modern era with the habituation method, learning Social science materials perfectly, and managing the state budget for education funds properly.

Addressing the Sustainability Conundrums and Challenges within the Polymer Value Chain

Sustainability is a buzzword across numerous industries, and the polymer value chain is no exception. Due to the ubiquitous nature of polymer products, the conundrums and misconceptions revolving around them are universal too. In this review, we attempt to meticulously undertake some of the polymer-based sustainability conundrums and challenges, driven by technical knowledge and supported by facts. Four major topics of relevance are selected and reviewed without any bias. A basic understanding of all sustainability-related jargon is examined at the beginning to provide the necessary fundamental awareness. Thereafter, the emergence of biobased polymer products is critically analyzed against its distinct biodegradability conundrums. This is followed by an outlook and comparison of plastic products versus their alternatives. Greenwashing in the fashion industry is also reviewed in depth. Among the challenges, issues related to microplastics are assessed owing to their importance currently. It is critical that readers can understand the actual scenario and call out product propaganda with superficial claims. A meticulous overview of the existing literature and information is conducted to summarize all the conundrums, challenges, and future aspects. This examination of pertinent topics is carried out in the hope of spreading knowledge, enabling a higher critique within the polymer research community and a sustainable environment.

Challenges in Spreading Knowledge of Da’wah Cyber

The science of cyber preaching is a science that invites towards goodness and avoids evil by using various distribution mediums, especially the cyber world through the internet regardless of time and distance limits. The spread of da'wah knowledge has started since the time of the Prophet s.a.w., Companions, Tabi'in, Tabi' at-tabi'in and up to the present technology era by using various dissemination mediums. The purpose of this study is to identify the knowledge of cyber da'wah, a comparison of the methods of spreading traditional and cyber da'wah knowledge, identify the value and ethics of spreading cyber da'wah knowledge as well as the constraints in the dissemination of cyber da'wah knowledge. This study was conducted using the library method or literature review from various scientific sources as a reference for the study. At the end of the writing of this article, the challenge in spreading the knowledge of cyber da'wah can be concluded as a medium that must be taken as an opportunity by preachers today as well as the public who want to spread widely about Islamic da'wah by taking into account values and ethics when spreading through cyber is used. Challenges in spreading the knowledge of cyber preaching are always there, but as a preacher you should be wise in facing the current technology era without having a negative impact on Islam or other religions.

Global at birth: a relational sociology of disciplinary knowledge in IR and the case of India

AbstractAdvocates of global international relations (IR) present IR as a Eurocentric discipline that should now diversify its theoretical and empirical focus to the non-west. This paper turns this argument on its head, arguing that IR was ‘global at birth’. Concentrating in particular on the implications that global IR debate has for our understanding of the historical development of disciplinary knowledge, the article argues that both conventional and critical stances within this debate tend to express a substantialist conception of knowledge formations, one which encourages diffusionist ideas of the spread of knowledge from an origin to a destination, and essentialist representations of specific geographies of knowledge. In order to address this, the paper proposes a relational sociology of disciplinary knowledge that offers a more historically grounded understanding of the ongoing, provisional, connected, and configurational nature of knowledge construction, without losing sight of the hierarchies that inflect this. The article applies this framework to archival work on the intellectual history of international thought in India, offering an approach that allows a global account of the development of disciplinary IR that operates within and beyond imperial frames, encompassing the entangled histories of colonial, anti-colonial, and postcolonial lineages of what became known as ‘International Relations’ in the 20th century.

ONLINE PROJECTS AS A FORM OF SPREADING PEDAGOGICAL BIOGRAPHICAL KNOWLEDGE IN THE CONTEXT OF OPEN SCIENCE

The article deals with the relevant issue of using social media in the context of open science to disseminate the results of scientific research and implement the mission of institutions of social memory – libraries and museums – to preserve, study and popularize the national pedagogical heritage. It has been revealedthat in foreign and Ukrainian historiography there are no special studies on the spread of biographical knowledge in social networks. The online project is considered both as a multifunctional information resource and as a digital tool for educational activities, which, with the help of web technologies, demonstrates specially created open-access content to a wide range of users. For the first time, the paper analyzes the spread of biographical pedagogical knowledge through the development of online projects and their implementation by means of social networks. Biographical online projects of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi State Scientific and Educational Library of the National Academy of Educational Sciences of Ukraine and the Pedagogical Museum of Ukraine are characterized by the following parameters: systematized information in the form of a table (implementation model, name, web resource where the project was implemented, implementation period, hashtag), grouping by type (collective, individual, calendar, thematic), a brief description of the content of each project, a graphic layout of the project. The examples of biographical online projects have been given. The article reveals thetrend of an increase in the number of biographical online projects in the Ukrainian segment of the Facebook social network during 2020–2022, caused by the decolonization of the Ukrainian humanities. 4 proven models for implementing biographical online projects have been proposed for a widespread use: "Online project on Facebook", "Online project on Facebook and Instagram", Online project on Facebook using a web portal/website", Online project on Facebook as a source ofvirtual exhibition on the website". It has been proven that the use of social networks for the dissemination of pedagogical biography in the form of online projects in the educational and scientific space is not only an effective way of providing access to the results of scientific research to a wide audience, but it also contributes to the restoration and preservation of the national memory.

Investigating the Impact of Teaching and Learning of Religious Institution [pondok] on the Society in Kelantan, Malaysia

The religious learning institution [pondok] is a common form of traditional Islamic educational institution in the archipelagic areas of Malaysia, Indonesia, and southern Thailand. It has been widely known and established, especially in Kelantan, Malaysia, for many years. It is regarded as a significant learning institution since it focuses on lifelong learning concepts. However, there are some crises faced by learners who study at a pondok. These need to be addressed as the learning institution receives negative perceptions from society in general. This study aimed to analyse the perception of the role of religious learning institutions and how this contributes to spreading knowledge so that society can get a better understanding of the concept of learning in a pondok. This study uses both quantitative and qualitative methods; questionnaires were distributed and focus group discussions were conducted among selected research participants. There were 121 research participants for the quantitative studies and five groups for the qualitative study. This study used a purposive sampling method and the participants were selected according to whether they were willing to support the development of the pondok and whether they had experience living near a religious institution. The study revealed that the pondok requires a lot of improvements, especially in spreading religious knowledge and having a good relationship with society. It is also suggested that a proper guideline be provided for every religious learning institution in Kelantan so that it becomes more systematic. It was revealed that the potential of the pondok is to ensure that society gains benefits from these religious institutions. The significance of the current study lies in its analysis of the quality of teaching and learning in religious institutions so that they meet international educational qualification standards.
