Abstract

Current ethical guidelines, as defined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), note that redundant publications or duplicate copies should be retracted because they partake no new information, and may be perceived as unfair. Elsevier and its journals are COPE members. In 2000, four Elsevier journals (Anaerobe, Journal of Theoretical Biology, Journal of Autoimmunity, Food Microbiology) published an identically worded notice related to the digital object identifier (DOI), i.e., it was published in quadruplicate (four copies). Despite an alert to all four journals about this quadruplicate, none were retracted. If academics would like to cite this announcement, which of the four copies should they use? This case study raises an important deontological argument regarding the laissez-faire attitude of these journals, which charge a fee (US$27.95-31.50) to access this document’s four PDFs. Yet, other cases of duplications/redundant publication in Elsevier journals are frequently retracted. In the case of these four DOI-related papers, what does ignoring the three redundant copies suggest?

Abstract

This paper explored the impact of capital regulation on the banking industry in Nepal and sought to understand the reasons behind the requirements for higher capital in the country compared to global standards set by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS). The paper incorporated semi-structured interviews with experts from banks and the Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) and employed thematic analysis to analyze the responses. The main factors driving higher capital requirements in Nepal were identified as risk management practices, financial stability, and the cost of financing, including the supervisory review process and the internal control systems of banks. The study found that the banking industry in Nepal lacks strong risk management policies and practices and that the regulator places a greater emphasis on ensuring the stability and resilience of banks rather than minimizing the economic cost of financing. Additionally, the corporate governance and internal control systems of banks in Nepal were found to be suboptimal.

Abstract

This research is motivated by changes in the implementation of learning from face-to-face learning to distance learning through the use of digital technology and then changing back to face-to-face learning. Alternating the implementation of learning also influences the character of students. This research aims to provide an overview regarding changes in the character of independence, discipline, and politeness of students after distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic at SMAN 15 Bulukumba. This research is a type of qualitative research using a case study research approach. While data collection will be carried out through observations and interviews which are then analyzed qualitatively through several activities in the form of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of this study show that the independence of students after distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic has increased, the discipline of students has decreased, and the politeness of students after distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic at SMAN 15 Bulukumba has also decreased. So it can be concluded that there were changes in the character of independence, discipline, and politeness of students after distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic at SMAN 15 Bulukumba.

Abstract

Scholars under the Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant (FLTA) Program have three important roles: teach the Filipino language and culture, study two courses per semester, and serve as cultural ambassadors of the Philippines in the United States. Exploring the scholars’ journey is important in providing future scholars ideas on rewarding and challenging experiences. This qualitative-biographical study focuses on five scholars’ (2022-2023 cohort) personal embodied experiences and encounters of learning processes. Using reflective writing, introspection, and journal entries as data collection techniques, the researchers accounted for the journey of every scholar. Results show that scholars’ personal embodied experiences include a sense of fulfillment, challenges, and personal and professional growth while their encounters of learning processes are comprised of students’ challenges in learning the language, the presence of negative learning behavior, and appreciation of the language and culture taught. Scholars also see Fulbright as platform for global and cultural involvement and self-growth.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted many facets of human existence, including the experiences of the most vulnerable members of society. This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during the pandemic through the lens of their parents. It specifically aimed to delve into the challenges and opportunities these children encountered during these trying times. Using a phenomenological inquiry, six purposefully selected parents whose children have ASD were interviewed and observed to generate rich and detailed information about the phenomenon, which was fortified by the participants’ shared photographs by virtue of the photovoice methodology. The analysis brought out five themes from the gathered data; three focused on challenges: (1) putting up with the unavailability of special services, (2) catching up with the demands of modular education, and (3) running into emotional breakdowns. Meanwhile, two themes focused on opportunities: (4) increased time for family bonding and (5) acquisition of new life skills. The study’s findings highlight significant implications to government and educational leaders on the interventions and programs needed by children with ASD as they thrive in the midst of the pandemic.

Abstract

This paper aims to show the characteristics of free software and its implications for qualitative analysis in social research, especially in the case of new researchers and researchers with limited financial resources, as happens in third-world countries. First, the elements of qualitative research are described and understood as an approach linked to the interpretation and meanings that are given to the world. Secondly, the functions and handling of the RQDA software are explained. The main feature of RQDA is the fact that it is a free and open-source cross-platform tool, which allows project administration for data management purposes. The results show that even with the limitations that this type of tool may have, they offer a series of advantages that make their use possible and desirable to develop quality social research. Regarding the conclusions section, a reflection is offered on the use of technology based on free software for social research purposes, which must consider the pros and cons during its implementation. Concepts such as that of open access, or free culture, incorporate various forms of attending to historical problems suffered by science and education.

Abstract

Knowledge translation (KT), the dissemination of research outputs towards utilization and application, is increasingly recognized in research. For marginalized populations, benefiting from research outputs can be hindered by longstanding, inequitable access to information and education. The objective of this pilot study is to assess the potential of using creative works in the digital humanities - such as films, series, animations, games, and graphic novels - as knowledge translation tools for engagement, inclusivity, and equitable access to research-based knowledge. Methods followed a multi-phase process. First, an exploratory literature review was conducted on the intersection between three pillars: digital humanities, marginalized populations, and knowledge translation (Web of Science and Scopus), with 21 studies that met the inclusion criteria. Operational definitions and project framework (CATER) were drawn from the gap analysis, followed by a first round of pilot interviews with individuals with qualitative research experience. The first pilot interviews were conducted to identify any conceptualization errors and address methodological concerns. The second round of pilot interviews was conducted with marginalized individuals. Research findings show that marginalized populations access digital humanities for self-motivated learning. The implications of this research suggest digital humanities can serve as KT tools to supplement existing modes of KT, and that further participatory research will help uncover complex relationships between digital humanities and living with marginalization.

Abstract

This research aims to understand why after establishing educational programs intended for youth at-risk of being homeless in inner-city urban contexts, youth still turn to homelessness in North America. This article describes a composite case study of three cities in North America to ensure the anonymity of all stakeholders, key informants, and practitioners providing qualitative data. The results show that the internal management of education programs-specifically, youth's potential behavior in three categories: violence, substance use, and intimate relationships are challenges that prevent organizations from successfully retaining youth engagement in education. More importantly, capitalism related to the street-trades is discussed as the key cause of persistent youth homelessness. Protecting youth from homelessness and ensuring access to compulsory public education must seek to identify mechanisms through which homeless youth can be exploited for profit. Addressing hidden structures of capitalism within homelessness in North America supports the prevention of chronic homelessness and disempowered life trajectories.

Abstract

This study aimed to reveal gender-related deficiencies by examining nurses' experiences with gender and to guide these deficiencies in further studies. The study used the transcendental model of phenomenology design from the qualitative research method. The present study prefers the criterion sampling included in the purposeful sampling The study group consisted of five female and five male nurses who worked in a state hospital and had gender experiences.  The meetings were recorded and carried out face-to-face with the consent of the participants. According to the research results, a theme named gender was determined. Under this theme, 10 categories and two subcategories were identified. The current study concluded that the gender perceptions of nurses were positive, but they exhibited a traditional approach to the roles given to women and men. They did not receive sufficient education on social gender skills. The authors suggested that gender education should be added to the Women's Health and Diseases Nursing course contents.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the role of human resource management in the change processes of state-owned enterprises and its effectiveness in the management of organizational change. This paper is a study of the role of human resource professionals in the internal change processes of state-owned enterprises.  Qualitative research was used, and semi-structured interviews were administered to obtain data from human resource practitioners and departmental supervisors in a South African state-owned enterprise. Human Resource professionals are the custodian of change and employee champions in organizations. Their input in change processes is vital in maintaining employee levels of commitment to the organization. Human Resource Management's role in organizational change involves employee counseling, motivation, communication, and designing exit packages. If these roles are not properly executed, the organization may experience difficulties such as employee stress, low morale, and high labor turnover to mention just a few. The study revealed that lack of business partner roles, fear and control by the executives, and lack of communication from the top management are the challenges facing human resource professionals during internal change processes. The study provides insights for top management in state-owned enterprises on the role of human resource management in organizational change processes. The discussion provided in this paper would strengthen the body of knowledge on the role of Human Resource Management in the management of change particularly in state-owned enterprises.
