Introduction: This communication examines the impact of high-frequency trading (HFT) and algorithmic trading on financial markets. HFT utilizes sophisticated algorithms for ultra-fast transactions, optimizing profits and minimizing risks. Methodology: The study explores how HFT contributes to market efficiency and liquidity while also highlighting the risks of increased volatility, particularly during periods of market stress. Results: HFT algorithms improve liquidity but can amplify price fluctuations, challenging investors and financial institutions. These effects can create instability, especially in volatile market conditions. Discussion: The communication stresses the need for regulations to balance the benefits of HFT—such as efficiency and liquidity—against the risks posed by increased market volatility. Conclusions: While HFT offers significant benefits for financial markets, ongoing study and regulation are essential to ensure the stability and integrity of these markets.

The construction industry constantly pursues innovative methods to improve safety, enhance productivity, and reduce costs and project durations. Augmented Reality (AR) is a promising technology, potentially bringing about changes in construction. AR can be useful for visualizing data in construction sites and preventing clashes or accidents. One of its potential applications is in the excavation sector. This research aims to understand the needs, expectations, and challenges associated with adopting AR in the excavation sector. We aim to assess how different AR solutions are perceived and how they would be used. In this work, we draw insights from interviews carried out with 31 professionals in New Zealand’s excavation industry. During the interviews, participants interacted with two AR prototypes, which were the same AR application delivered by two AR devices: optical-see-through (OST) and video-see-through (VST). Participants were asked to provide feedback on the implications of AR to the real-world excavation practice and compare the two AR devices. The findings of this study indicate a preference among participants for AR applications compared with traditional paper-based drawings. Participants leaned toward VST among AR devices, given their familiarity with VST devices such as tablets. Further, accessibility emerged as the primary barrier to adopting AR within the excavation industry. As such, this work provides insight for future AR development and prototyping for the excavation industry.

Prayer is an intentional way of connecting with the sacred through thoughts, attitudes, and actions. Counselors often use prayer as part of therapeutic interventions to seek spiritual guidance. However, its use in family counseling raises questions about the methods and reasoning behind its application. This study explores how Muslim counselors in Malaysia incorporate prayer in family counseling to address various issues. A qualitative case study approach was used, with data collected through semi-structured interviews with 13 counselors from three counseling centers. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify key themes in the data. The findings highlight two main roles of prayer in family counseling: (i) as a source of support for counselors and (ii) as a tool to empower clients. The counselors reported that prayer helps reduce stress, promote hope, and build inner strength. The results suggest that counselors view the integration of prayer positively, reflecting their spiritual and religious values. This study offers important insights into the ethical aspects of using prayer in counseling and emphasizes the need for further research in this area.

The widespread use of Artificial intelligence (AI) in language education has opened up a new era of teaching and learning, raising concerns about balancing AI-driven instruction and conventional teaching methods to achieve optimal learning outcomes while preserving essential human skills. Hence, this meta-analysis study systematically presented the findings from 60 studies conducted between 2018 and 2024, exploring the role of AI applications in language teaching. We investigated language skills and domains that AI can enhance, including skills (i.e., listening, speaking, reading, and writing), translation and interpretation, and teaching pedagogy and methods, alongside the human-centric skills that AI cannot replicate in language education. Based on the findings, AI could make significant strides in improving language proficiency, particularly in areas such as pronunciation, conversational fluency, grammar, and vocabulary. It can also assist in streamlining teaching methods, such as adaptive learning, automated assessment, and personalized content creation. However, some limitations emerged from the data. While AI excels at providing objective feedback and supporting innovative teaching methods, it struggles to cultivate essential human skills like cultural sensitivity, emotional intelligence, and critical thinking. These skills are necessary for effective communication, building relationships, and understanding language tones in different contexts. The study concluded that AI can be a powerful tool for language education but cannot replace human educators. Instead, language teaching practices should bridge a balance between AI-powered instruction and traditional teaching

This study aims to analyze the voting behavior patterns of Generation Z (Gen Z) in the 2024 Indonesian Presidential Election in DKI Jakarta, focusing on the influence of social, psychosocial, and rational choice variables on voting behavior. This study uses a quantitative survey method with questionnaires distributed to Gen Z respondents in DKI Jakarta. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine the relationships between social, psychosocial, and rational choice variables with voting behavior. This research is a continuation of previous studies discussing the voting behavior patterns of first-time voters analyzed using voting behavior theory with social, psychological, and rational choice approaches. However, to support the novelty of the analysis, this research focuses on the behavior patterns of Gen Z in the 2024 presidential election. The findings reveal that in the digital era, social media plays a crucial role in shaping Gen Z's political preferences, while psychosocial factors, such as candidates' historical backgrounds and emerging issues, have a significant direct influence on Gen Z's voting behavior. These findings provide essential insights for policymakers and political practitioners in designing effective communication strategies for Gen Z and enrich the academic literature on young voters' behavior in the digital era.

Immigrating and becoming a teacher in a new country is challenging and brings with it a necessity to shape personal and professional feelings, assumptions and practices. Challenges, and the necessity to shape these elements, also happen when changing suddenly from presential to remote teaching. Major shifts can challenge educators to question their educational paradigms and adapt their praxis to a new educational system. This thesis is about my journey of immigration to Aotearoa New Zealand from Brazil and my journey teaching during the Covid-19 pandemic, including the effect these shifts had on the way I enact my teaching, my praxis, as a physical education (PE) teacher. Using a self-study methodology with elements of bricolage to support the research design, I sought to examine the ways in which my teaching in a primary school were influenced by and adapted to a new cultural setting and education system. Data sources included teaching artefacts, journaling, personal history through narratives and meeting with critical friends and supervisors. Using thematic analysis of the data suggests that divergent points, such as (1) language, (2) feeling of belonging, (3) understanding of praxis, (4) pedagogical strategies and (5) personal assumptions influenced and shaped my praxis and, therefore, the way I enacted my teaching. By engaging with praxis as a theoretical framework and a way to understand my actions, I came to understand that I adapted my praxis due to the new contexts. I also had to shape the way I teach both in a macro and micro pedagogical context because of the divergent topics found in this research. Ultimately, this thesis illuminates the way I built my praxis as an immigrant teacher, teaching both face to face and online, and offers suggestions on how to support other teachers migrating to new countries and starting their journey as educators in a new cultural and teaching context.

On the qualitative analysis, we first randomly sample 383 methods (resulting in 185 successfully identified cases and 198 failed ones) from all the methods in N aturalData, with a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of 5%. ...
Concise and meaningful method names are crucial for program comprehension and maintenance. However, method names may become inconsistent with their corresponding implementations, causing confusion and errors. Several deep learning (DL)-based approaches have been proposed to identify such inconsistencies, with initial evaluations showing promising results. However, these evaluations typically use a balanced dataset, where the number of inconsistent and consistent names are equal. This setup, along with flawed dataset construction, leads to false positives, making reported performance less reliable in real-world scenarios, where most method names are consistent. In this paper, we present an empirical study that evaluates state-of-the-art DL-based methods for identifying inconsistent method names. We create a new benchmark by combining automatic identification from commit histories and manual developer inspections, reducing false positives. We evaluate five representative DL approaches (one retrieval-based and four generation-based) on this benchmark. Our results show that performance drops substantially when moving from the balanced dataset to the new benchmark. We further conduct quantitative and qualitative analyses to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the approaches. Retrieval-based methods perform well on simple methods and those with popular name sub-tokens but fail due to inefficient representation techniques. Generation-based methods struggle with inaccurate similarity calculations and immature name generation. Based on these findings, we propose improvements using contrastive learning and large language models (LLMs). Our study suggests that significant improvements are needed before these DL approaches can be effectively applied to real-world software systems.

Health and safety in construction are critical concerns, and exoskeletons present a promising solution to mitigate these issues. Designed to improve the ergonomics of wearers, exoskeletons are increasingly used across various industries. While this technology is relatively new to the Sri Lankan construction sector, it is already employed in many developed countries. The research aims to develop a conceptual framework for implementing exoskeletons among construction workers in Sri Lanka. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to assess the impact of exoskeletons on worker health and safety, emphasizing their ergonomic benefits and potential barriers to adoption. Findings indicate that exoskeletons have significant potential in reducing work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) when properly integrated into construction tasks. The study proposes a conceptual framework that assists managers in selecting suitable exoskeleton types and tasks, aiming to enhance worker safety and productivity. This framework contributes to the construction industry by offering a structured approach to implementing exoskeletons, thereby addressing unique sector challenges and improving overall occupational health outcomes. Future research should focus on practical implementations and further exploration of barriers and facilitators to optimize exoskeleton adoption in construction contexts.

Está bien establecido que los indices delicitivos reflejados por actividades de adolescentes es una problemática que incide negativamente en familias, sociedades y naciones que comparten la responsabilidad en el momento en que se comete el delito. Se habla acerca de los diversos factores en la vida de los jóvenes sin importar las razones que afectan de una manera negativa el entorno que los rodea, se busca la manera de prevenir y solucionar estos comportamientos, en donde no sólo la familia puede ser parte importante de la seguridad, sino que también se ve involucrada la sociedad en general, así como las instituciones, organizaciones y el gobierno. Estudios demuestran que no se está cumpliendo con las medidas necesarias para que las actividades delincuenciales juveniles sean debidamente prevenidas, esto es así, en virtud de los datos obtenidos en la última década donde los centros de menores se han estado llenado más de lo usual, los jóvenes desde una edad muy temprana empiezan a realizar actos delictivos. Debe decirae de manera relevante que los jóvenes tienden a tener estos comportamientos delictivos debido al entorno que los rodea y a la situación socioeconómica que viven. Se considera que, en el desarrollo adolescente existen mayores condiciones para la comisión de conductas delictivas haciéndo que los adolescentes estén más propensos de recurrir a conductas ilegales desafiantes socialmente hablando, por lo cual es necesario concientizar desde la niñez sobre las consecuencias que trae la realización de estos hechos delictivos.

As a result of the set study objectives and the emphasis on self-identified symptoms and contextual factors, an exploratory research design is applied to meet the research questions. ...
This paper aims to understand the attitudes, expectations, and appraisals of Chinese parents sending their children to study in Thailand by investigating Juan (Neijuan) culture and interdisciplinary and music education in Thailand. From a series of interviews with 20 Chinese parents, the research focuses on investigating the reasons for the parents select other systems that are quite different from China's highly competitive examination-oriented educational model. As shown by the study, parents are attracted to the comprehensive learning model that is adopted by Thailand's education system, which addresses the areas of child creativity, emotional intelligence, and individual development. In the case of children, an easy transition was experienced since the Thailand education system offered the necessary support and flexibility with the change. The parents also reported high satisfaction with the interdisciplinary curriculum, especially arts and music and they reported boosted learners' cognitive and social development. Thus, the study concludes that Thailand's education system is quite appropriate and contributes a lot to the overall personality development of students to enable them to face future academic and professional challenges in a global society. The findings of this study may be useful for educators and policymakers, as well as can be useful for students who want to study in Thailand as an alternative non-competitive environment in contrast to Chinese conditions.

The paper explores the correlation between the concepts of territoriality and social practices in the context of urban and rural (re-)production of space. It traces the degree of “habitualisation” of certain actions and the behaviour of stakeholders, identifying those defined as practices, and revealing their role in the (dis-)continuation of territoriality of a region. It takes a German region Ostwestfalen-Lippe (OWL) as a case study. The research methodology is based on the practice theory of Andreas Reckwitz and his “praxeological quadrat of cultural analysis”, which is applied in this study. The research process includes (a) semi-structured interviews with the representatives of several institutions from the region, (b) narrative analysis and thematic content structuring of the interviews and (c) synthesis analysis. The study clarifies relations between the artefacts and discourses mentioned by the interviewees, and their impact on the practices of the institutions and others contributing to the (dis-)continuation of territoriality and identity of the region. The main findings are related to the (1) methodological contribution—operationalisation of the “praxeological quadrat of cultural analysis”, and (2) substantive contribution—revealing the role of social practices on the continuation of territoriality of the region. The article presents cultural patterns in the perception of and orientation towards long-past territorialities by the interviewees and makes clear what significance these historical and historicising spatial references have for the spatial planning of the present.
... Firstly, compared to other studies, this research, due to practical limitations, only considered the actual situation of three grade levels. However, the sample size of students from these three grade levels is still relatively small, which may lead to insufficient research on learner characteristics throughout the entire university learning development process (Creswell, 2014). Additionally, this study did not conduct experimental or longitudinal research. ...
Background and Aim: Developing China into a formidable sports nation necessitates the support of top-tier talents, while the advancement of sports higher education serves as a crucial underpinning for nurturing skilled sports professionals. The pedagogy within sports education is notably distinct, with sports students embodying a uniquely central role in the learning process. Consequently, enhancing the caliber of sports education demands an exploration of pedagogical strategies not solely from the educators' viewpoint but also through an investigation into the distinctive attributes of sports students as active participants in their learning journey. Materials and Methods: The study commenced with interviews involving 13 sports educators from Chinese universities to identify elements pertinent to evaluating university sports students' learning characteristics from the educators' viewpoint. Grounded in the learner characteristics theory, the analysis framework's structure was established. After this, exploratory factor analysis was employed to affirm the validity of the proposed research framework. Leveraging this framework and incorporating established scales, the "Questionnaire on Characteristics of University Sports Students as Learners" was constructed. A cohort of 700 sports students, ranging from freshmen to juniors, participated in the survey. The gathered data underwent extensive analysis to investigate the prevailing learner characteristics among university sports students in Guizhou Province. Results: The research identified three pivotal learner characteristics in university sports students: cognitive, emotional, and ability-related components. The cognitive facet involves learning attitudes and motivation; the emotional facet comprises self-efficacy and anxiety; and the ability facet includes learning strategies and training investment. Analysis of the data revealed no significant gender-based differences in these characteristics. However, it highlighted notable disparities across academic years: freshmen exhibited the highest scores in cognitive components, followed by sophomores, with juniors registering the lowest scores. In the assessment of emotional aspects, sophomores outperformed though the margin of difference was nominal between the freshmen and juniors. Conversely, in the evaluation of ability aspects, juniors achieved significantly greater scores compared to their freshmen and sophomore counterparts. Regarding college entrance examination performance, a discernible trend indicated that higher scores in the cultural section correlated positively with enhanced performance across all evaluated elements and their respective dimensions. However, this correlation was not observed in sports examination scores, which did not demonstrate significant differences in cognitive aspects but did reveal disparities in both ability and emotional aspects. Conclusion: The performance of student-athletes across ability, emotional, and cognitive dimensions is affected by a multitude of factors, such as gender, academic year, cultural course grades, physical education assessments, and sports exam scores. To enhance the overall quality and performance of sports students, emphasis should be placed on fostering their learning competencies, emotional equilibrium, and cognitive capabilities, and developing tailored training initiatives that account for varying academic levels and individual differences. Additionally, we should strengthen the comprehensive evaluation and assessment of students' overall qualities to more effectively facilitate their all-encompassing growth.
... Phenomenological design, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. Phenomenology deals with the individual's subjective life experiences related to the event or situation, and the main purpose is to describe the basic structure of the experience or the truth (Lester, 1999;Creswell, 2003;Merriam, 2018: 24-25). In this context, it can be said that it focuses on the meanings reached from the experience (van Manen, 2014). ...
The study was conducted to determine whether the social environment or social
media is more effective in terms of the support needs of pregnant women in the
prenatal period. The study was conducted using phenomenological design, one of
the qualitative research designs, between April and June 2022. The study focuses
on the effectiveness of social media and the social environment on the social
support needs of pregnant women. The criterion sampling type was determined
for the sample. The criteria include individuals voluntarily participating in the
study, being between the ages of 18 and 49, being primiparous, being able to
communicate in Turkish, and following or sharing content about fertility and birth
on social media. Subjects who met the determined criteria were included in the
study. Thirteen pregnant women were interviewed within the scope of the study,
but three pregnant women were excluded from the study as they could not provide
sufficient data. The study was continued with ten pregnant women in line with
the phenomenological design. The study data were collected through in-depth
interviews using a semi-structured interview form. In the analysis of the data, the
thematic analysis technique was employed, and by moving from the meaning that
emerged from the readings of the researchers to the themes, the phenomena were
made more comprehensible. The data obtained were gathered under the themes
of situations in which social support is needed, social support sources, getting information from the social environment and social media in meeting the need for
social support, pregnant women’s status of being affected by information sources,
the use of the social environment and social media in combination, and changes in
thought, attitude, and behavior according to the source of information. Pregnant
women need social support in their pregnancy period. They use both the social
environment and social media for these needs. However, they move forward
by comparing both sources with each other. As a result, it was determined that
pregnant women use both types of sources and progress by making comparisons
between them. It is recommended that future studies examine the impact of
social media on the social support needs of pregnant women, the extent to which
pregnant women are affected by information pollution from social media, and the
relationship between the social media literacy levels of pregnant women and the
support they receive from social media.

... Convergent mixed methods design consists of integrating quantitative and qualitative data related to a research topic or question(s) (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2006). Under this research design, quantitative and qualitative data are collected and analyzed separately but merged to compare and contrast the two datasets to develop novel insights regarding the topic being examined (Creswell & Creswell, 2018). The quantitative aspect is achieved through an analysis of ESG Refinitiv data, which aligns with the use of ESG score assessment by extant literature (El Khoury et al., 2023;Michael et al., 2023). ...
This study examined the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance of 117 companies across Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Qatar from 2021 to 2022 (totaling 234 observations) from the institutional theory perspective using a mixed methods approach. The research is structured in two stages: First, we analyzed ESG scores from ESG Refinitiv data to measure ESG performance based on 186 comparable metrics across 10 categories; second, we conducted a directed content analysis of sustainability reports that utilized 27 ESG disclosure indicators from the GCC Exchanges Committee's unified guidance. Integrating quantitative ESG scores with qualitative content analysis enables a deeper understanding of how companies in these Gulf countries respond to institutional pressures within their unique socio-political contexts. Our findings revealed that while ESG performance has generally improved across the three countries, the extent and nature of these improvements vary significantly. The UAE demonstrates the most substantial progress, particularly in environmental performance, driven by robust institutional frameworks and alignment with global sustainability standards. Saudi Arabia shows moderate improvements, reflecting the influence of Vision 2030 and ongoing reforms. In contrast, Qatar lags, especially in governance and social performance, due to weaker regulatory frameworks and slower internalization of sustainability norms. We found that the effectiveness of ESG improvements are closely tied to the strength of institutional frameworks, the intensity of external pressures, and the degree of internalization of sustainability norms in each country. It underscores the role of coercive, normative, and mimetic pressures in driving corporate disclosure practices. It highlights the complexities of sustainability reporting across sectors and national contexts in the GCC region. The research contributes to understanding how institutional pressures shape corporate sustainability practices in the Gulf region, offering valuable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars interested in the dynamics of ESG and sustainability in emerging markets.
Chemistry learning, especially in Indonesia, has not been able to direct students to master critical thinking skills. Using appropriate media and learning models can improve students' critical thinking skills. One of the efforts to improve critical thinking skills is using Chemsketch media with STEAM-based learning models (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics). This study aims to analyze the effect of using ChemSketch in STEAM-based learning (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) on improving students' critical thinking skills on chemical bonding material. This study used a Non-equivalent control group design. The population in this study were all grade X students of SMA Negeri 1 Karangwareng in the 2023/2024 school year, with the samples used including one class X-7 as the experimental class and one class X-6 as the control class. The data obtained were then analyzed using the N-Gain and simple linear regression tests. The results showed that: 1) STEAM-based learning significantly increases critical thinking skills with an N-Gain value of 0.66. 2) STEAM-based learning significantly affects critical thinking skills with a value of 0.002. It can be concluded from the results of this study that students in the experimental group experienced a significant increase in critical thinking skills compared to the control group. This indicates that integrating ChemSketch in STEAM-based learning can be an effective strategy to improve students' ability to analyze, evaluate, and solve problems related to chemical bonding.

The intricate interdependence of food, energy, and water (FEW) systems necessitates effective and coordinated educational efforts across various contexts to equip students with the skills to tackle FEW challenges. As an emerging interdisciplinary field, understanding educators’ and education researchers’ views on the FEW-Nexus perspective, self-efficacy, needs, and approaches to promoting community engagement are vital to facilitating the growth of this field. The National Collaborative for Research on Food, Energy, and Water Education (NC-FEW) is an NSF-funded, emergent, interdisciplinary community of educators and discipline-based education researchers engaged in sustained network and capacity building around FEW-Nexus. We present initial survey findings from 166 NC-FEW members, predominantly postsecondary faculty from varied disciplines. Our goal was to understand their views of FEW-Nexus perspective, self-efficacy in FEW-Nexus-specific teaching and education research, instructional design, and community engagement. The findings suggest that FEW-Nexus educators in the NC-FEW community view the Nexus as a blend of diverse concepts and themes, emphasizing the necessity of establishing a concrete definition of the nexus perspective. Their self-efficacy levels were higher in general STEM teaching (mean = 4.03) and STEM education research (mean = 3.61) compared to FEW-Nexus-specific teaching (mean = 3.43) and education research (mean = 3.18). Respondents reported feeling moderately connected to the FEW-Nexus educator community (mean = 2.21). They also outlined anticipated community benefits and contributions to promoting teaching and learning in the FEW-Nexus. These findings highlight the significance of boosting FEW-Nexus educators’ self-efficacy and building a stronger sense of community, having important implications for professional development in emerging fields and broader educational reform endeavors.

It centrally delves into the development of menu hybridization through the familiarization of recipes, ingredients, methods of cooking, and decorum as well as an adaptation that acts as a precursor toward food business performance. Ultimately, this chapter posits that embracing hybridization not only fosters creativity and differentiation in menu offerings but also positions food businesses to thrive in an increasingly competitive environment. Through a comprehensive examination of these dynamics, it provides actionable insights for food entrepreneurs and industry stakeholders seeking to leverage hybridization as a catalyst for growth and innovation.
Background
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can lead to emotional and psychological distress between persons with ALS and their family carers. Many persons with ALS develop cognitive impairment, which limits their ability to process complex information, interact, and communicate. This cognitive decline adds to caregiver burden. Few studies have explored interpersonal relations between persons with ALS and their family carers.
Aim
To better understand how ALS-associated cognitive impairment influences close relations.
Methods
Individual semi-structured in-depth, interviews were conducted once, with four persons with ALS and four family carers. Reflexive thematic analysis was used.
Results
Increased distance of close relations was identified as the overarching theme. Differences and similarities within the data were identified according to the two main themes. The first main theme, Everyday life together but apart: a demanding role to play, was structured according to three subthemes: Keeping the façade of civility, Demanding daily interaction and communication, and Taken for granted changes in everyday roles. The second main theme, Coping with a lost future, was structured according to the two subthemes, Striving to live in the normal present, and Holding on to self.
Conclusions and significance
Cognitive impairment following ALS can lead to increased relational distance between persons with ALS and their family carers. To ease their burden, professionals should recognize person with ALS’ and family carers’ relational issues and grief at an early stage. Focusing on their occupational identity and valued occupations that are still-accessible may help persons with ALS and family carers regain meaning in everyday life.
Human rights awareness through education is the ultimate solution against human
rights abuses. In the present scenario, human rights is a burning issue, as corruption
and crime are increasing day by day. People cannot raise their voice against violence
due to lack of awareness. The present study about human rights awareness of
undergraduate (UG) students will help to understand and to expand the knowledge
up to their progeny. The study was conducted to investigate the awareness of human
rights among UG students of General and Schedule Caste (SC) category. 80 UG
students were selected as sample through stratified random sampling method from
the Campus colleges of Kumaun University, Nainital. They were identified on the
basis of academic and socio-economic factors i.e., gender, area of residence, academic
stream, and family income. For data collection, a standardised Human Rights Awareness
Test by Vishal Sood and Arti Anand (2012) was used, and data was analysed through
mean, standard deviation and t-test. The finding of the study reveals that majority of
the students in both the category (Gen-65 percent and SC-85 percent) fails to be in
average category. So there is a need to provide human rights education in schools
and colleges.
Keywords: Human rights, human rights awareness, undergraduate students.

The idea of business culture is fundamentally connected to societal business practices within a specific cultural environment(Wangchuk et al., 2020). Organizational culture can be definedas the collection of core beliefs and assumptions formulated, discovered, or developed by a group addressing external and internal challenges (Schein, 1992).A well-established connection exists between the culture within an organization and its performance outcomes, with a wealth of research supporting a positive linkage(Ouchi, 1981; Kotter and Heskett, 1992).This study looks at how the work culture in American companies affects the way they manage their employees, especially in their offices in Hungary and how HR practices in American multinational companies adapt to and influence training and development in a Hungarian context.In today's world, understanding and working with different cultures is very important for international business (Twose, 2019). This paper explores how the typical values and ways of doing things in American culture affect the training and growth of employees in other countries.Through qualitative interviews with HR professionals, the study identifies three pivotal training themes: Competency Development, On-the-job Training, and Innovation in Learning. These themes highlight a commitment to continuous skill enhancement, practical learning experiences, and progressive educational practices, aligning with American cultural valuesof individualism and innovation. The findings articulate how such cultural traits are translated into HR practices, emphasizing the interdependencebetween individual professional growth and broader organizational objectives. This research enriches the understanding of transnational cultural impacts on corporate training strategies, offering insights for global HR management and the successful navigation ofcross-cultural business landscapes.
Purpose: The purpose of this qualitative study is to examine the healthcare supply process in public hospitals in a multi-dimensional manner and to reveal the weaknesses and strengths in this process. Method: This qualitative study was conducted among stakeholders with sufficient knowledge and experience about healthcare supply processes in public hospitals. Within this research scope, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 participants determined using purposeful and snowball sampling methods. The data was analyzed using the thematic coding method with an inductive interpretive phenomenology approach. Nvivo 2020 software was used during the analysis process. Findings: The current legislation in Türkiye was observed to allow for various supply methods. The open tender method was determined to be the best cost-advantage one in terms of economy of scale. However, it may cause a decrease in material quality. Therefore, well-designed specifications and qualified human resources play an essential role in the supply process. Originality: This study reveals the possible negative effects of a cost-oriented approach in the supply process on quality in public hospitals. Additionally, the necessity of quality human resources in the supply process of healthcare was identified as an important problem. Informal structures were also emphasized among suppliers, which may disrupt the competitive environment.
Qualitative research conducted on the 2019 Presidential Election in Indonesia focused on analyzing the coverage of Kompas TV, a national news television station unaffiliated with any political party. This study utilized a systematic approach following Creswell and Creswell’s (2018) six-stage qualitative data analysis. Kompas TV news regarding presidential candidates Joko Widodo and Prabowo Subianto during the campaign period was scrutinized. The data preparation involved collecting and reviewing campaign news scripts and broadcasts. Coding was applied using Dan Nimmo’s propaganda techniques to discern patterns and themes in coverage. The analysis revealed that glittering generalities, emphasizing positive attributes without criticizing opponents, dominated Kompas TV’s coverage, constituting 49.23% of the campaign news. The study inferred that Kompas TV tended to use words and phrases to promote virtue, while avoiding negativity towards any party or individual. Kompas TV tends to be careful and chooses not to use bad labels on ideas, people, goals, or objects to influence the audience to reject them. As a news media known to be neutral, Kompas TV tries to maintain an objective image and balance when conducting propaganda. Glittering generalities (49.23%), using good words to describe something to obtain support, plain folks (26.15%), portraying candidates as ordinary people, and transfers (18.46%), associating positive traits with candidates, were the most prevalent propaganda techniques employed.
