| Historical Learning through Independent Strategies using LMS in the Merdeka Curriculum | Author : Tunggul Wijaya, Akhmad Arif Musadad, Deny Tri Ardianto | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This study aims to describe the process of learning history using independent learning strategies through the media learning management system in the Merdeka Curriculum. This research was conducted qualitatively by taking the background of research at SMA 1 Ceper and SMA N 1 Cawas. Research data obtained from observations of media implementation, student interviews, documentation, and audiovisual materials are then described descriptively. The research results show that first, students can perform independent learning through MERRDEKA learning activities with synchronous and asynchronous modes. So, learning history using self-learning strategies is appropriate when combined with LMS technology. Broadly speaking, this technology helps students to carry out independent activities such as finding information, processing, and disseminating in digital form. Students with independent behavior can be seen from the ability of students to formulate learning strategies, carry out management, and evaluate their achievements. However, the role of teachers is still needed, especially in providing views to students for problems they cannot solve independently. Both LMS have a role in learning strategies to help implement learning programs with the availability of various learning resources that have been systematically compiled. |

| The Womb and the Representation of Ecological Cohesion: A Linguistic Reading of Nicole Chinelo’s Save the African Womb | Author : Chioma Chinedu- Oko, Uche Ken Chukwu, Chukwueke Chukwuka Akuchukwu | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This paper examined the place of the womb as a representative of ecological cohesion. Using the selected text, the paper explored the didactic role of literature, essentially from the purview of imparting on the youth and the adolescent; and based on this background, the paper made use of a literary text, Save the African Womb, which is one of the Government recommended texts for students at the junior secondary level of education in Nigeria. The adolescent and youth stage in human development, no doubt, is critical in the social, moral, cultural, intellectual, and psychological education and formation. Again, the paper advanced from the understanding that literature as a special area of writing thrives in the indirect expression of ideas and messages. As much as a literary writer sets to communicate his or her literary messages, such are often allegorically embedded, demanding the creative ability of the reader to decode and sieve the messages from the twined knot in the writer’s language choices. To be able to do this in our paper, we adopted the eclectic approach in the selection of theoretical framework, considering the fact that the paper involves a cross disciplinary adventure. The paper thus adopted principally, the semiotic theory, and then the eco-feminist theory as relevant theories. Part of the findings of the paper is that the writer represented the importance of the womb using different manners of signification, both the literal and the semiotic. The conclusion of the paper is that the womb is central to the woman’s position as unique biological specie. The womb is also critical in the discussion of the overall human nature, and the need for mutual co- existence in the ecology of human existence. Therefore, the text can be read from the viewpoint of fostering a solution to the social tensions which often arise in the society. |

The participants were 50 undergraduate students from a business school at the University of Ibn Zohr, Morocco. A comprehensive language assessment was conducted to measure their vocabulary size, productive vocabulary knowledge, and language proficiency. Their written essays and spoken interviews were analyzed using James Taxonomy of Lexical Errors (1998). The results showed that the most frequent types of lexical errors made by the participants were word Distortions (46%), followed by Misformation (33%), and finally Confusion of Sense Relation (18%). The study also found a significant correlation between vocabulary size and productive vocabulary knowledge with the number and types of lexical errors made by the participants. The findings have implications for language teaching and learning, suggesting that more attention should be given to vocabulary instruction and practice to reduce lexical errors in Business English communication. |

| Multigenerational Clinical History of a Family with Several Members Carrying Narcissistic Personality Disorder | Author : Victor A. Hurtado Torres | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :To the interior of narcissistic families, children are assigned roles to control them, according to the interests of the narcissist or narcissists subjects. In these cases, it is common for the children and spouse to suffer abuse and/or violence in some of its variants, within family interactions, both by the narcissist and by other members of the family, while other children are given preferential treatment. All this generates pathological conditions in which children grow and develop. This puts obstacles in the proper development of the children of such a family, it all accentuated in their life as a couple where it is very likely to repeat family patterns. In this work, subjects from three generational cohorts of a family are studied, where the initial couple, made up of two narcissistic subjects, is called Zero Couple. At the same time, the characteristics of the children of the Zero Couple are studied, to them we refer to as the Alpha generation, which in turn are the parents of what we will call the Beta generation.
From the analysis carried out, a high incidence of narcissistic characteristics is found in the Alpha subjects, due to the upbringing by the Zero couple; with variants in the personality characteristics between the cohorts. The relevance of the study lies in the impact of narcissistic subjects on the family relationships they generate and their influence on the environment. A situation that today has become a public mental health problem, which give rise to social scourges such as: the daily life of aggressive or violent relationships in the population, abuse as a cultural phenomenon and the normalization of narcissistic traits and behaviors of the narcissistic spectrum in daily life. |

| On the History of the Problem of Coincidence | Author : Gulshen Isha qizi Mehdiyeva | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Foreign influences on the English and Azerbaijani languages have given many linguistic units to the lexical composition of these languages. With the richness and development of both languages, different areas of the lexical layer have also been enriched. If we take the wealth of Turkic languages separately, then it is possible to observe the influence of the Russian language in those languages. Many words of Russian origin have entered the lexical layer of Turkic languages. J. Khalilova writes about this: "The languages of the Turkic peoples had a strong influence on the cultural, household and military lexicon of the Russian language and enriched it." [Khalilova 1991, p.4]. It is observed that most of the words that were transferred to Turkic languages from Russian are still used in Turkish languages, even though they are no longer used in that language. |
| HIV and AIDS Specific Stigmas and Discrimination (PLHIV) (Descriptive Analysis Media of the Carlo Story Web Series) | Author : Edison Bonartua Hutapea, Gusrianda, Yuli Marlina | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This study aims to identify instances of discrimination and stigma towards PLWHA in the online Carlos serial. The next goal is to evaluate the educational topics present in the Carlos web series. This study should serve as a reference for anyone interested in conducting communication studies research, especially in the areas of text and movies analysis. It is also anticipated that this research will provide a basic overview of the discrimination and stigma that HIV-positive people encounter. Along with serving as a source of inspiration for policymakers and the general public, it can also serve as an inspiration for Indonesian cinema, particularly for short moviess and web series.The research methodology adopted is a constructivist, descriptive qualitative method. The dialogue and set design of Carlo were examined as part of the analysis of the online series. The findings demonstrated that stigma and prejudice toward PLWHA continue to be widespread, including the notion that some groups are more predisposed to contracting HIV and AIDS than others. In this case, the stigma that HIV and AIDS are the result of negative behavior, the presumption that HIV and AIDS are the same as a death sentence, the excessive fear of HIV transmission among health workers, the cynicism and lack of empathy among health workers toward PLWHA patients, and finally the stigma that PLWHA cannot get married or have children are all factors. However, the filmmaker is also charged with encouraging the stigma. The histories of the characters played by more PLHIV who also identify as homosexuals reveal this. The audience will undoubtedly come to believe that HIV and homosexuality are synonymous if this is constantly demonstrated. |

| The Mediating Effect of Organizational Commitment towards Organizational Culture and Job Burnout | Author : Naomi J. Tuvilla, Joel D. Potane | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This study aimed to determine whether organizational commitment can mediate the relationship between organizational culture and job burnout. The data were gathered using a questionnaire that included questions about burnout, organizational commitment, and organizational culture. The employees of private schools in Cagayan de Oro City (CDO) were the studys target population with at least five (5) years of professional experience. Findings revealed that Organizational Culture alone cannot predict Job Burnout. No matter what kind of culture exists in the respondents workplace, it has no effect on their burnout. This demonstrates that respondents are resilient enough to combat the influence of even a bad organizational culture. Organizational Commitment (M) reduces the effect of Organizational Culture (X) on Job Burnout (Y). As Organizational Culture increases, Job Burnout decreases. Only when organizational commitment is included in the equation does culture have an effect on job burnout. |

| The Extent of the Application of English Laws in the Cameroonian Legal System | Author : Dr. Egute Matthew Amandong | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The decisive events which made the introduction of English laws possible in Cameroon were the arrival of European traders, the activities of European missionaries and the introduction of the English legal system by the British Government. The arrival of these Europeans introduced certain new practices and institutions which the traditional laws of the country, particularly customary law could not cope with. Besides, the Europeans themselves were not prepared to be bound by tribal laws since the type of society to which the law and custom was appropriate was totally different from the type of society in which they (Europeans) had been brought up. After the 1st World War, Cameroon ceased to be a German Protectorate following her defeat and was thus administered by Great Britain and France under the League of Nations Mandate and subsequently under the United Nations Trusteeship Agreement. By Article 9 of the Mandate Agreement, the laws of the administering authorities were to be transplanted into Cameroon. Article 9 thus provided the basis and officially marked the beginning of the duality of Western legal systems which the people of Cameroon have since experienced and to which they remain subject to till this day. The Foreign Jurisdiction Act, 1890 was also very important and served as the enabling statute that led to the introduction and observance of English law in Southern Cameroons. The English common law, the doctrines of equity and the statutes of general application which were in force in England on the 1st day of January 1900 were then transplanted in Anglophone Cameroon viz s. 11 of the Southern Cameroons High Court Law, 1955. However, neither the statutes in England on the 1st day of January 1900, nor common law and the doctrines of equity apply in Cameroon without limitations. They are subject to local limits and circumstances. In this 21st Century, the laws of a colonial power particularly the statutes of general application should not apply again to an independent nation like Cameroon and thus should be repealed and replaced with local legislation. The Executive and Legislature should thus ensure compliance while the Government is called upon to hasten and complete the harmonization process of the common law and the civil law in a bid to give the country a unified/uniform legal system. |

One of the cases of monopolistic practices is related to lobster seed export services involving the freight forwarder company PT ACK. This research aims to study the role of the government in preventing monopolistic practices as well as the responsibility of freight forwarder companies that commit such monopolistic practices. This research uses a normative juridical research method. The results of this study show that the role of the government, namely KPPU, has not been maximised in preventing the monopoly of lobster seed exports. KPPU has conducted a study with several parties related to lobster seed exports and found no regulations that designate only one company that can export. However, the fact is that in the field, only PT ACK can export. The company that committed monopolistic practices has been found guilty of violating Article 17 of Law Number 5 of 1999 in KPPU Decision Number 04/KPPU-I/2021 and bears the responsibility of terminating its business activities and seizing assets for the state. |

| Which is more important for Indonesia: Foreign Investment, Effective Exchange Rates, or Inflation? (Study on Indonesias workforce over the past three decades) | Author : Siti Amalia, Agus Iwan Kesuma, Adi Tri Pramono | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Globalization has spurred discussion about developing economic growth with a wider spectrum, giving rise to economic variables that are more precise and sharper in measuring economic development in a region. This dynamic is also behind this study, namely to examine the relationship between foreign investment (FDI), effective exchange rates, and inflation to the number of workers in Indonesia. This research data was sourced from the Indonesian Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), the Ministry of Trade, and the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development. The timeline used in this study spanned thirty years (1991–2021). The novelty in the research is that the analysis was carried out using Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS), as well as an econometric approach Cointegration Johansen. The capacity absorption hypothesis was also used as the basic model in this research. The adjusted R-square value of this study is 0.8254 so it can be concluded that 82.54% of the number of workers changes can be explained by all independent variables. The results show that in the last three decades of Indonesia, Indonesia has relied heavily on foreign investment in increasing the number of workers. Conversely, inflationary conditions do not have an impact on the number of workers in Indonesia. Thus, the Indonesian government needs to pay attention to the effects of trade policies and programs because foreign investment (FDI) is able to intensify job creation for workers in Indonesia. |

| Incorporating Deductive Approach into Grammar Consciousness Raising with Translation Practice: An Educational Design Research for Non-English Major EFL | Author : Futuh Handoyo, Sugeng Hariyanto, Eny Widiyowati, Kun Mustain | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This article presents an educational design research study that explores the effectiveness of incorporating a deductive approach into consciousness raising activities in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms for non-English major students. The research aims to enhance students grammatical awareness and accuracy through a deductive instructional strategy, using translation practices and focusing on conscious rule-based learning. Adopting an educational design research framework, the study combines theory-driven design principles with empirical research to develop and evaluate a deductive consciousness raising intervention. The research methodology involves the implementation of instructional intervention to a group of students and the collection of qualitative and quantitative data to assess its impact on students grammatical competence and their perceptions of the learning experience. Using t-test statistical calculation, it was found that the intervention improved the students grammar mastery but not the response speed. The questionnaire result showed that students reacted positively to the intervention and their motivation increased.
Findings from the study support the previous research which found that conscious raising is effective to improve students’ learning mastery. This also provides insights that integrating deductive approaches into consciousness raising activities work for grammar teaching if the grammar items are selected appropriately. This also shows that the result of conscious knowledge is not converted automatically into subconscious knowledge. It may need time to practice again and again to make it automatic.
As this research is an educational design research, the hypothesis about the efficacy of this designed procedure is suggested to be proved in experimental research. More research to uncover the acquirability and learnability of English grammar features are also recommended to be studies further. |
