Hermeneutic Reconstruction Of The Role Of Community In The Learning Ecology, Qoriah Rahmawati, Aceng Hasani, Erwin Salpariansi Feb 2026

Hermeneutic Reconstruction Of The Role Of Community In The Learning Ecology, Qoriah Rahmawati, Aceng Hasani, Erwin Salpariansi

Jurnal Pendidikan Humaniora

Community is often treated as an external support for schools, which makes its role in learning ecology conceptually peripheral and weakly integrated into explanations of learning across contexts. This study aims to reconstruct the role of community within the learning ecology so that it is positioned as a constitutive dimension of learning alongside school and family. The study used a systematic literature review of 62 publications, followed by narrative meta-analysis and philosophical-hermeneutic interpretation within the Triad Human Learning Ecology framework. The results show a school-centered tendency in the literature, while community is more frequently framed as contextual support than as …

Resilience Of Nationalism Among Acehnese Youth In The Global Era: A Qualitative Study From Civics Teachers' Perspectives, Roni Hidayat Feb 2026

Resilience Of Nationalism Among Acehnese Youth In The Global Era: A Qualitative Study From Civics Teachers' Perspectives, Roni Hidayat

Jurnal Pendidikan Humaniora

This study investigates how schools can strengthen the resilience of nationalism among Acehnese youth in the global era, with particular attention to post-conflict social conditions and rapid cultural change. Previous studies on nationalism in the era of globalization have generally emphasized Pancasila values or single-school interventions, but fewer studies have examined how teachers conceptualize and operationalize nationalism resilience in schools across Aceh. The study used a descriptive qualitative design with a multi-site school perspective. Participants were 10 Civics Education (PPKn) teachers from senior high schools in Aceh Province, selected purposively based on teaching role and experience. Data were collected through …

Empathy Training Program As A Strategy To Improve Empathy In Elementary School Students, Rizqi Hanabella Feb 2026

Empathy Training Program As A Strategy To Improve Empathy In Elementary School Students, Rizqi Hanabella

Jurnal Pendidikan Humaniora

This study examined the effectiveness of an empathy training program for elementary school students using a non-randomized quasi-experimental design (untreated control group with pretest-posttest and follow-up measurements). The participants were 39 students from Grade IV and Grade V who were assigned to groups based on existing class membership. The program was developed from Davis's empathy framework (perspective-taking, fantasy, empathic concern, and personal distress), and empathy was measured using an Interpersonal Reactivity Index based scale adapted for elementary students. Data were analyzed using a mixed-design ANOVA. The findings showed a significant time-by-group interaction, and the experimental group demonstrated a significant increase …

Temporal Induction Of The Homeodomain Transcription Factor Nkx2-1 Is Sufficient To Respecify Foregut And Hindgut Endoderm To A Pulmonary Fate In Xenopus Laevis, Brian Hyatt, Erin Lundberg, Rachael Eye, Scott Rankin, Aaron M. Zorn Feb 2026

Temporal Induction Of The Homeodomain Transcription Factor Nkx2-1 Is Sufficient To Respecify Foregut And Hindgut Endoderm To A Pulmonary Fate In Xenopus Laevis, Brian Hyatt, Erin Lundberg, Rachael Eye, Scott Rankin, Aaron M. Zorn

Day of Scholarship

During development the expression of numerous genes is required to direct the proper formation of cells, tissues and organs. One special class of genes, transcription factors, code for proteins which regulate the expression of multiple genes to ensure tissues and organs develop at the right time and place. One transcription factor, NKX2-1, is necessary for proper lung formation in vertebrates. We investigated if NKX2-1, on its own, could drive the formation of lung tissue in the frog, Xenopus laevis. Both frog and human NKX2-1 was able to cause the formation of pulmonary tissue, examined by the expression of lung specific …

Modeling And Analysis Of Opportunistic Traffic Offloading Between Wireless Networks, Shensheng Tang Feb 2026

Modeling And Analysis Of Opportunistic Traffic Offloading Between Wireless Networks, Shensheng Tang

Day of Scholarship

This paper examines traffic offloading between two wireless networks operating in the same service region, where a beneficiary network can temporarily redirect calls to a benefactor network during periods of congestion. To analyze this interaction, we develop a finite level‑dependent quasi‑birth‑and‑death (LD‑QBD) model that captures the joint dynamics of admission control, opportunistic offloading, and preemption. The LD‑QBD structure enables exact computation of the steady‑state distribution using efficient sparse linear solvers. From these steady‑state probabilities, we derive key performance metrics, including blocking and drop probabilities, mean occupancy, throughput, mean system time, admission gain, and successful throughput gain. Numerical results show that …

The Effects Of Customer Orientation Of Frontline Employees, Their Customers, And Unit Profitability, Tom Brown, Nawar N. Chaker, Todd D. Donavan, Gabriel Gazzoli, Jerry W. Grizzle, James M. Lee, John C. Mowen, Alex R. Zablah Feb 2026

The Effects Of Customer Orientation Of Frontline Employees, Their Customers, And Unit Profitability, Tom Brown, Nawar N. Chaker, Todd D. Donavan, Gabriel Gazzoli, Jerry W. Grizzle, James M. Lee, John C. Mowen, Alex R. Zablah

Day of Scholarship

Customer orientation is an employee’s natural tendency to focus on understanding and meeting customer needs. When frontline employees have this mindset, they tend to perform better in their jobs and receive stronger performance ratings--and their customers have higher levels of satisfaction. For employees who engage more frequently with customers, it also benefits them personally, leading to greater job satisfaction and stronger commitment to their organization. In work units that support a strong customer-focused climate, customer-oriented behaviors translate into higher sales and profitability without raising costs. Customer-oriented employees are also more likely to speak up with ideas that improve the customer …

Mass Rapes In War And Peace: Reflections On Sofi Oksanen’S Same River Twice: Putin’S War On Women, Olivera Simic Feb 2026

Mass Rapes In War And Peace: Reflections On Sofi Oksanen’S Same River Twice: Putin’S War On Women, Olivera Simic

Journal of International Women's Studies

In this essay, I reflect on the book Same River Twice: Putin’s War on Women by Ukrainian writer Sofi Oksanen, using it as a backdrop to discuss mass rape. I use Oksanen’s discussion of the war on women in Ukraine to examine the prevalence of gender-based and especially sexual violence during both armed conflict and peacetime. As a scholar of transitional justice, I am concerned about the collective blaming of women for mass atrocities committed mainly by men, both soldiers and civilians. I write this essay as an anti-militarist feminist, taking neither a pro-Russian nor an anti-Ukrainian stance. I also …

Unmarried Women In Bugis Culture: A Phenomenological Study Of An Indonesian Ethnic Group, A. Octamaya Tenri Awaru, Syamsu A. Kamaruddin, Agustinus Ufie

Journal of International Women's Studies

The population of single women, though still a minority in Indonesian society, has seen a significant increase in the last decade. This demographic trend is often attributed to shifts in lifestyle and higher levels of women’s education. This study analyzes the perspectives of unmarried women, focusing on the factors contributing to singlehood within the Bugis culture in Indonesia. Utilizing a qualitative phenomenological approach, this research involved seventeen single women aged thirty-five to fifty, which is beyond the average marriage age in Bugis culture. Informants were selected through snowball sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews to explore the narratives and …

Patriarchal Constraints In Everyday Lives: Gender Roles, Matrilineality, And The Status Of Contemporary Khasi Women, Mebarisuk Langstieh, Sudhansubala Sahu Feb 2026

Patriarchal Constraints In Everyday Lives: Gender Roles, Matrilineality, And The Status Of Contemporary Khasi Women, Mebarisuk Langstieh, Sudhansubala Sahu

Journal of International Women's Studies

The Khasi tribe from Meghalaya in northeast India practices a matrilineal system, which is believed to be more egalitarian than patrilineal systems. The women of the Khasi tribe are often regarded as having a higher status than other women in India. However, despite belonging to a matrilineal society, Khasi women still face challenges in their social lives stemming from patriarchal constructs. This qualitative study examines the social status and subsequent challenges faced by Khasi women in contemporary India. Using in-depth interviews and observations of thirty urban and rural Khasi women in the East Khasi Hills District of Meghalaya, the study …

The Local Outsider: Sleeping Sickness Drug Trials, Social Exclusion, And Responses Of Women In The Uyui District Of Tanzania, 1964-2005, Hamisi M. Machangu Feb 2026

The Local Outsider: Sleeping Sickness Drug Trials, Social Exclusion, And Responses Of Women In The Uyui District Of Tanzania, 1964-2005, Hamisi M. Machangu

Journal of International Women's Studies

Unethical practices in sleeping sickness drug trials conducted in the Uyui District of Tanzania from 1964 to 2005 resulted in physical and psychological disabilities among participants and contributed to the social exclusion of its women participants. Although these practices are understood to have caused disabilities, existing studies have overlooked their contribution to the social exclusion of women. Drawing from both primary and secondary sources, this article treats the impact of such practices as a window to examine the nature and dimensions of social exclusion of women with disabilities and how these women responded to social exclusion at the grassroots level. …

Bodies And Beyond: Reading Liminal Corporealities In Ambai’S Short Stories, Keerthana S Feb 2026

Bodies And Beyond: Reading Liminal Corporealities In Ambai’S Short Stories, Keerthana S

Journal of International Women's Studies

This article demonstrates how the Indian writer Ambai’s short stories construct counter-narratives to phallogocentric structures, opening up fresh avenues of theoretical engagement in the cultural context of Tamil Nadu, India. Despite advancements towards gender equality, cultural symbols and metaphors such as tali (ornament worn by Tamil women denoting their marital status), karpu (chastity), and veera tai (valorous mother), often govern the lives of women to a great extent. I argue that Ambai’s stories both resist the hegemonic constraints of such cultural symbols and also endeavour to reconfigure them. Ambai’s renderings of cultural semiotics enable women to experience their bodies removed …

The Liminal Socioeconomic Status Of The “Fallen Woman” In Elizabeth Gaskell’S Mary Barton, Şebnem Düzgün Feb 2026

The Liminal Socioeconomic Status Of The “Fallen Woman” In Elizabeth Gaskell’S Mary Barton, Şebnem Düzgün

Journal of International Women's Studies

Elizabeth Gaskell’s Mary Barton (1848) is an English social-problem novel that addresses sociopolitical and economic issues, most notably prostitution. The protagonist Esther’s position as a low-income factory worker forced by circumstance to engage in sex work grants her an ambiguous position in Victorian England’s patriarchal, capitalist society. Since she appears as an active economic agent by exchanging her body for money in the sex industry, Esther seems to have more socioeconomic freedoms compared to married women. However, her freedom as a sex worker is limited by patriarchal capitalism. She becomes an outcast in the capitalist market, where capital is possessed …

Recasting The Sacred: Gendered Embodiments In The Shadow Puppet Theatre Of Kerala, V. K. Karthika Feb 2026

Recasting The Sacred: Gendered Embodiments In The Shadow Puppet Theatre Of Kerala, V. K. Karthika

Journal of International Women's Studies

Tholppavakkoothu, traditional leather shadow puppetry from Kerala, a southern state within India, has long been performed in temples as a sacred ritual. This ritual art form was a male-dominated performance in which ideas regarding physical purity (in connection with menstruating female bodies) excluded women from participating. Such patriarchal codifications were challenged when Pentholppavakkoothu, an all-women leather puppetry troupe, emerged in 2021, as it not only took the art outside temple premises but enabled the participation of women in the making and performance of the art. This paper critiques the gender dynamics within Tholppavakkoothu, analysing how cultural rituals and body politics …

“I Painted It This Way Because I Belong Nowhere”: Using Body Mapping To Explore Gender, Subjectivity, And Resilience Among Afghan Immigrant Women In Iran, Mina Naji, Ali Mehrabi, Ehsan Aghababaeec, Treena Orchard Feb 2026

“I Painted It This Way Because I Belong Nowhere”: Using Body Mapping To Explore Gender, Subjectivity, And Resilience Among Afghan Immigrant Women In Iran, Mina Naji, Ali Mehrabi, Ehsan Aghababaeec, Treena Orchard

Journal of International Women's Studies

This qualitative study explores how second-generation Afghan women born and raised in Iran create belonging and identity despite gender, legal, and cultural barriers. Although they represent a large part of the Afghan community in Iran, their daily embodied experiences are rarely discussed in migration or gender studies. Using body mapping and semi-structured interviews conducted with four women aged 18–40, this study examines how displacement and everyday exclusion shape their feelings, identities, and coping mechanisms. The visual and narrative data show how inequalities in education, family life, and social position are felt and carried within the body. At the same time, …

Feminist Reflexivity In Practice: Addressing Positionality And Building Sisterhood Through Fieldwork With Black Migrant Sex Workers In Istanbul, Yeliz Kendir-Gök Feb 2026

Feminist Reflexivity In Practice: Addressing Positionality And Building Sisterhood Through Fieldwork With Black Migrant Sex Workers In Istanbul, Yeliz Kendir-Gök

Journal of International Women's Studies

This article addresses feminist reflexivity and researcher positionality in ethnographic fieldwork with undocumented Ugandan women sex workers in Istanbul’s Tarlabaşı and Aksaray neighborhoods. Drawing on fourteen months of immersive research, including participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and reflexive journaling, the study examines how both the researcher and participants engaged in strategic forms of resistance within racialized and gendered urban spaces. The analysis is grounded in a feminist epistemological framework that draws on Kandiyoti’s notion of patriarchal bargaining and Scott’s theory of hidden transcripts. Findings reveal how participants and the researcher used subtle forms of resistance, such as strategic silence or performative …

Collective Memory Of Partition: A Study Of Trauma, Martyrdom, And Survival In Women’S Post-Partition Fiction, Abi Sarkar, Sandip Sarkar Feb 2026

Collective Memory Of Partition: A Study Of Trauma, Martyrdom, And Survival In Women’S Post-Partition Fiction, Abi Sarkar, Sandip Sarkar

Journal of International Women's Studies

Gender and the distortion of memory are two important aspects of Partition literature about the division of the Indian subcontinent into two nations, India and Pakistan. Women writers, such as Geetanjali Shree in Tomb of Sand (2022) and Anjali Enjeti in The Parted Earth (2021), delineate the collective trauma of the 1947 Partition of India through the theme of memory. This article will demonstrate two types of violence experienced by women during the time - political violence (perpetrated by Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs) and patriarchal violence and uncover how their memories haunt and shape their present, constructing and reconstructing their …
