Abstract

Learning English is a mandatory subject and must be followed from elementary school to university level in accordance with the ongoing training plan in Indonesia. Students have difficulty mastering a new language, especially English, and teachers who are not native English speakers make it difficult for students to master it. As a result, some of the examples presented may be due to human error. It is accepted that changing English language learning through learning media will reduce weaknesses, difficulties in understanding learning and reduce human errors. This procedure includes media as an instrument to develop learning, one of which is through games, slides and interesting pictures. According to the instructions at each level of learning, this technique further develops learning for students. Apart from that, students are also enthusiastic about learning, can make coordinated efforts more easily between students, the environment and reality and are enthusiastic about progressing independently according to their respective abilities and interests.

Abstract

Suicide rates among adolescents and youth are increasing regardless of the interventions to lower the risks. Therefore, preventing suicides at institutions of higher learning is a top concern for public mental health. This paper explores strategies that may be adopted to reduce suicidal thoughts among students in South Africa. The study analysed previously published data on student suicide at institutions of higher learning. Purposive sampling technique was used by the researchers to collect secondary data from various research platforms that were specifically focused on the topic at hand. The following databases were utilized because they offer multi- and interdisciplinary scholarly literature: Google Scholar, Jstor, EbscoHost, Proquest, Scopus, and Sabinet. This review highlight that there are a variety of causes for students' suicidal thoughts, and these causes are individualised. Suicide prevention strategies such as gatekeeper training programs for suicidal behaviours, implementation of suicide prevention awareness programs within campuses, digitalisation of the programs, counselling and psychotherapy are some of the strategies that universities can adopt to reduce the suicidal thoughts among students. Given the complexity of suicide, prevention must be done with extreme prudence and urgency. The more the complexity of the suicide process is understood, the more the need for consistent, significant efforts to empirically support and evaluate the prevention strategies. It is therefore imperative to implement comprehensive and multi-sector preventative programs in order to minimize these risk factors and enhance protective variables to the greatest extent possible.

Abstract

With its significant rural population, South Africa faces pressing water challenges, including shortages, ecological degradation, and pollution. These challenges are particularly problematic in rural areas due to infrastructure deficits, weak municipal finances, and low-density settlement patterns. In this context, springs are a crucial water resource for communities. This paper reports on a study to identify existing governance structures and processes for groundwater management. The study also investigated the vulnerabilities of communities dependent on groundwater for their water supply. It explored rural communities’ adaptation strategies to ensure equitable, inclusive, and sustainable groundwater availability and management outcomes. The study focused on the Okhahlamba Local Municipality in KwaZulu-Natal and the Matatiele Local Municipality in the Eastern Cape. A pragmatic paradigm, which incorporates both qualitative and quantitative approaches to yield robust insights, was employed in the research. The study highlighted the role of land practices, invasive alien plant species, and waste disposal practices in determining water quality. The study found that the municipalities in the study area lack adequate spring protection strategies. Traditional leaders were found to play a crucial role in rural landscape governance. Springs hold socio-cultural significance beyond water provision, emphasising the need for holistic approaches to spring protection. Innovative strategies are needed to address the evolving challenges to groundwater supply while ensuring cultural sensitivity, improved governance, and sustainable groundwater management practices. A multifaceted approach is recommended to enhance groundwater management and spring protection in rural areas, such as integrating spring protection plans into municipal Integrated Development Plans (IDPs). It is vital that continuous coordination and collaboration with all stakeholders, including traditional leaders and NGOs, be established to accommodate the cultural dimensions of community use of local springs.

Abstract

In the era of globalization and the industrial revolution 4.0, the quality of human resources (HR) is crucial for organizational success, especially in educational environments such as the University of North Sumatra. Effective HR management plays an important role in achieving organizational goals. This research aims to investigate the impact of work-life balance and organizational culture on job satisfaction and employee performance at the Faculty of Medicine, University of North Sumatra, while elucidating the role of job satisfaction as a mediator in this relationship. Quantitative research methods with path analysis techniques were utilized in this study. Data were obtained through questionnaires distributed to 99 employees of the Faculty of Medicine, while interviews were conducted to gain in-depth insight into their perceptions and experiences of the variables studied. Additional information was gleaned through documentation studies related to policies, procedures, and organizational culture at the Faculty of Medicine. The results of the path analysis confirm that work-life balance has a significantly negative effect on job satisfaction, while organizational culture has a significantly positive impact on job satisfaction. Moreover, work-life balance also significantly negatively influences employee performance, while organizational culture has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. These findings affirm that job satisfaction acts as a mediator in the relationship between work-life balance and employee performance, as well as organizational culture and employee performance. Based on the research results, it is recommended that the Faculty of Medicine, University of North Sumatra improve the performance appraisal system, address the imbalance between employees' work and personal lives, strengthen a positive organizational culture, and consider other factors such as the quality of work life in an effort to enhance employee job satisfaction and performance. Future studies are encouraged to broaden the scope of variables and sample population to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing employee job satisfaction and performance in educational institutions.

Abstract

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have come under scrutiny for not sharing their substantial resources and immediate support with nearby communities. As a result, they should not be seen as deviating from the main goals of HEIs in terms of active research, teaching and learning, or scholarship. Therefore, HEIs must reach out to assist nearby communities to raise the profile of the latter, foster its growth, and provide the social capital necessary for sustainable development. This research makes a case that HEIs and communities should establish a collaboration to promote rapid gains in the diversification of the communities' sources of income. HEIs should assist the surrounding communities, aid in community empowerment, enhance the quality of life, and act as change agents to address socioeconomic conditions. The paper draws on existing literature and reports to explore each of the roles of HEIs in community engagement in South African communities. Different databases like Google, Google Scholar, Scopus, AOSIS, ProQuest, and university repositories utilised to search data. Themes were developed and used to search the data until completion. The Thematic Content Analysis (TCA) approach was applied. Additionally, the research is supported by observation and real-world experience. The Social Capital Theory is acknowledged in this article to create the foundation of its argument. The conclusion that can be derived from this research is that for successful transformation and growth, HEIs and communities must work together amicably.
