Abstract This study explores the collective settings of Hallenwohnen (hall dwelling) as a section of the Zollhaus settlement, which is the follow-up project by the Kalkbreite housing cooperative and has been in function since January 2021 in Zurich, Switzerland. Hallenwohnen is the first legal hall cohousing arrangement in Switzerland. The private and semiprivate spaces of Hallenwohnen consist of a large open hall with collective basic structures and mobile residential towers (roll spaces) as the core concept, which offer an affordable, self-managed/self-build, collaborative coliving and coworking arrangement in the center of Zurich. The qualitative case study method was applied through semistructured interviews with occupants of Hallenwohnen, direct observations, spatial investigations and document analyses. The results reveal that the innovative socio-spatial potentials of the intermediate spaces have been activated through the participatory intentions of the community. Living as one household in a collective arrangement and multiplicity usage of hybrid spaces have activated participation-capable housing spaces, while constraints and conflicts have mobilized the (re)negotiations and reinterpretations of collective housing spaces.

AbstractThis study aims to identify, analyze and describe the vulnerability of workplace accidents that are commonly experienced by groups of Bajo Tribal fishermen. In addition, the types of causes of work accidents and the strategies of Bajo fishermen divers overcome the vulnerability to workplace accidents. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative (case study method). While, data collection is done through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the types of work accidents that are often experienced by Bajo diver fishermen are cramping of limbs (feet, hands, and stomach),to temporary paralysis and total paralysis. Some of the causes of Bajo diver work accidents are accidents when using fish bombs; forget (kalupang) using a modified compressor when diving; exhausted when diving (kamaleang); exposed to very cold lumps of water that resemble ice water; and attacked by sea ghosts (kasamperoang). The strategy of the Bajo divers in overcoming work accidents begins with "paruru" (rituals carried out in the house before going to sea), "racing nails" (the ritual of feeding boat guards and marine guards on boats), "niba pinah" ( the ritual of throwing betel nut into the sea to ask for protection from the guardians of the sea), observing the conditions of the sea, and understanding the symptoms of illness and its treatment personally, handling families, involving traditional healers and medical personnel.   Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi, menganalisis dan mendeskripsikan kerentanan kecelakaan kerja yang pada umumnya dialami oleh kelompok-kelompok nelayan penyelam Suku Bajo. Selain itu, juga dijelaskan jenis-jenis penyebab kecelakaan kerja dan strategi penyelam nelayan Bajo mengatasi kerentanan kecelakaan kerja. Metode yang digunakan dalam peneltian ini adalah metode kualitatif (studi kasus) yang bersifat deskriptif. Sedang, pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa jenis-jenis kecelakaan kerja yang seringkali dialami nelayan penyelam Suku Bajo adalah kram anggota tubuh (kaki, tangan, dan perut), hingga lumpuh sementara dan lumpuh total. Beberapa penyebab kecelakaan kerja penyelam Bajo adalah adanya kecelakaan saat penggunaan alat bom ikan; lupa (kalupang) menggunakan alat kompresor yang dimodifikasi saat menyelam; kelelahan saat menyelam (kamaleang); terkena gumpalan air yang sangat dingin yang menyerupai air es; dan diserang hantu laut (kasamperoang). Strategi penyelam Suku Bajo dalam mengatasi kecelakaan kerja, diawali dengan melakukan “paruru” (ritual yang dilakukan di dalam rumah sebelum melaut),“pakang balapati” (ritual memberi makan penjaga perahu dan penjaga laut yang dilakukan diatas perahu), “niba pinah”(ritual membuang pinang ke laut untuk meminta perlindungan kepada penjaga laut), mengamati kondisi laut dan memahami gejala sakit dan pengobatannya secara personal, penanganan keluarga, melibatkan dukun dan tenaga medis modern.

The Way

The internet has revolutionized the way people communicate, how they manage their business, and even how they conduct their studies. Organizations can conduct meetings virtually and store all their data online. With this convenience, however, comes the risk of cybercrime (CC). Some of the world's most renowned organizations have found themselves having to incur huge recovery costs after falling prey to CC. Higher learning institutions' databases are increasingly falling victim to CCs, owing to the vast amounts of personal and research data they harbor. Despite this, the area of CCs in learning institutions remains understudied. This chapter seeks to identify how CC is manifested in such institutions and the specific cybersecurity measures that stakeholders could use to minimize their exposure to the same. The qualitative case study was designed to explore the research questions, and collected data through semistructured interviews. The findings showed hacking, phishing, and spoofing as the most common manifestations of cybercrime in higher learning institutions.

The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore children with disabilities’ social relationships and motivation to take part in sledge hockey. Harter’s (1978) theory of Competence Motivation was used as the conceptual framework. Ten children (1 girl and 9 boys) between ages 11–16 years, who experienced a range of disabilities, participated. Primary data were collected using semistructured interviews, participant observations, and field and reflective notes. The thematic analysis led to four themes: (a) coach feedback, (b) parental involvement, (c) skill and belonging, and (d) (dis)ability sport. The findings revealed that interactions with significant others contributed extensively to the participant’s perceptions of competence and motivation to participate, as did the sport’s competitive nature. The findings are discussed in the context of Harter’s theory and the children’s sport and adapted physical activity inclusion literature.

This study aims to find out the ability to compose sentences of deaf children in outstanding schools. This study was conducted using qualitative case study method in the form of interviews and documentation studies of students' learning outcomes, interviews were conducted on 14 elementary school teachers. This research was conducted by two schools, namely in SLB-B YRTRW and SLB YAAT surakarta. The results showed that deaf children have problems in composing sentences and understanding the meaning of sentences. This is due to, 1) the receptive ability of children who are hampered by hearing ability, 2) the interest in learning deaf children in indonesian language is low, and 3) the use of non-standard sign language systems in communication between deaf children in activities outside the classroom. According to the class teacher, most deaf children also think that indonesian language is a difficult and boring lesson. Therefore, teachers need to increase innovation and creativity in the delivery of Indonesian language materials to be more interesting, either by using media or props that are fun and worth using to increase the motivation of learning deaf children and help the understanding of materials composing Indonesian sentences.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the way small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) function. To maintain business efficiency and reduce operating costs in the context of the constraints imposed by the pandemic, SMEs have been forced to embrace new digital technologies. Cloud accounting is becoming an increasingly important business operating tool for SMEs. By adopting cloud-based accounting, SMEs can become more efficient, financially organized, and flexible. This study aims to investigate the factors that have a pervasive influence on cloud accounting adoption among SMEs in Thailand, following the pandemic's effects. This study integrates three technology adoption theories—the Technology-Organization-Environment framework, Diffusion of Innovation theory, and Institutional Theory—and studies them alongside SMEs' unique characteristics. The research employs a qualitative case study method and triangulated sources of evidence. The findings provide important implications for the research community, policymakers, cloud accounting vendors, and SME owners aiming to formulate better approaches to cloud accounting adoption after the pandemic. The results suggest that vendors should focus on SMEs' particular characteristics and needs. By contrast, SMEs should determine the organizational fit of the cloud accounting platform and integrate cloud accounting with other aspects of their operations.
