In Cyprus, many pupils with chronic diseases attend public school in regular classes, managing their disease's demands in parallel with their education. Teachers are responsible for both education and management of these pupils at school. They have to see to their safety, but they must also provide equal learning opportunities to pupils with chronic diseases. Therefore, teachers' information about each child's condition and needs is crucial for their better response to the challenge of coping with the unique needs these pupils may have at school and in the classroom. This study's purpose is an initial investigation of the quality of the information teachers receive in this context. Our methodology is qualitative. We conducted twelve interviews with secondary education teachers in Larnaca and Famagusta in Cyprus during 2019-2020. We analyzed our data by applying the Thematic Content Analysis method. Our findings indicated that teachers felt that the school's information regarding pupils with chronic diseases was either incomplete or, even worse, non-existent.

Increasing Trend

This paper aims to investigate the trend of human resource disclosure (HRD) quality based on publicly disclosed annual reports of 235 Malaysian listed companies. The data was collected through content analysis method using HRD index. The results reveal that there is an increasing trend of HRD quality from 2010 to 2014.  However the significant increase is only between 2012 and 2013. This study provides empirical support for Institutional theory’s coercive isomorphism, through its findings on quality of HRD. This is because, the related disclosure regulations and the Malaysian government policy through Malaysia Plan may have significantly influenced firms to increase HRD quality in their annual reports.

Taiwan has been nearly 40 years of history in developing B&B, and has accumulated rich experience in B&B development and management. While B&B history is much shorter in mainland China, there is a gap of industry matureness between two sides. Therefore, it is of great practical significance for the development of B&B in mainland China to systematically discuss the quality of B&B in Taiwan. This study extracted 24 B&B cases in Taiwan from Agoda website, based on stratified sampling method, and classified and assigned values according to the quality evaluation index and coding standard with content analysis method. Finally, the paper obtained the key factors of the quality of the B&B based on the evaluation of indicators at all levels, and got the correlation analysis results: cost performance and fitment time are positively correlated to the quality of the B&B while guestroom number is negatively correlated to the quality of the B&B.

The Relationship

The need for mankind towards spirituality and a meaningful life as one solution towards spiritual crisis that is faced by modern society has long been discussed by scholars. Some notable western scholars such as Maslow, Frankl, Zohar and Marshall has shown a significant relationship between the human body and spirituality with one’s life success. However, these theories reject the relationship between spirituality and religion and they claim that spirituality is merely an aspiration for human to survive. This perspective conflicts with what is brought by Islam. Thus, this paper shall discuss the spiritual concept in the Quran using the thematic content analysis method by analyzing the relevant verses of the Quran that relate to spirituality and consequently how the Quran debates the spiritual construct in these verses. Studies have shown that the Quran emphasizes that spirituality contributes to the human rise and self-enlightenment in order to achieve the purpose and meaning of life, where the foundation of happiness and prosperity is a consequence of a good spirituality. The Quran also mentions about al-lubb, al-sadr, al-ra’y and al-fu’ad as a spiritual construct in addition to al-qalb, al-ruh, al-nafs dan al-‘aql that has indeed been highlighted by previous Muslim scholars. ABSTRAK Keperluan manusia terhadap spiritual dan hidup yang lebih bermakna sebagai satu solusi terhadap krisis spiritual yang dihadapi oleh masyarakat moden kini, telah sekian lama diperbincangkan oleh para sarjana. Beberapa ahli Psikologi Barat seperti Maslow, Frankl, Zohar dan Marshall telah menunjukkan signifikan hubungan antara jasad dan spiritual manusia dengan kejayaan hidup seseorang. Namun, teori mereka menolak perkaitan antara spiritual dengan agama dan mereka mengatakan spiritual hanyalah aspirasi manusia untuk hidup. Pandangan tersebut bertentangan dengan apa yang dibawa oleh Islam. Justeru, kertas kerja ini mengupas berkaitan konsep spiritual di dalam al-Quran dengan menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan secara tematik iaitu dengan mengenal pasti ayat-ayat al-Quran yang berkaitan dengan spiritual seterusnya memaparkan bagaimana al-Quran membahaskan konstruk spiritual ini di dalam ayat-ayatnya. Kajian mendapati, al-Quran menekankan bahawa spiritual merupakan kebangkitan atau pencerahan diri dalam mencapai tujuan atau makna kehidupan, di mana asas kebahagiaan dan kesejahteraan seseorang datang dari spiritual yang baik. Al-Quran turut menyebut al-lubb, al–sadr, al-ra’y dan al-fu’ad sebagai konstruk spiritual di samping al-qalb, al-ruh, al-nafs dan al-‘aql yang sememangnya telah pun digariskan oleh para sarjana Muslim sebelum ini.

Abstract Background In recent years, extensive studies have been designed and performed in the context of providing midwifery care in developed countries, which has been unfortunately neglected in some low resources and upper middle-income countries such as Iran. This study was conducted to identify the best strategies for improving the quality of midwifery care and developing midwife-centered care in Iran. Methods This was a qualitative study using focus group discussion and content analysis method. Data were collected from 121 participants including midwifery board members, gynecologists, heads of midwifery departments, midwifery students, in charge midwives in hospitals, and midwives in the private sector. Focused-group discussions were used for data collection, and data were analyzed using content analysis method. Results The main themes extracted from the participants’ statements regarding improving the quality of midwifery care were as follows: Promotion and development of education, Manpower management, Rules, and regulations and standards for midwifery services, and Policy making. Conclusion This study showed that to improve midwifery care, health policy makers should take into account both the quality and quantity of midwifery education, and promote midwifery human resources through employment. Furthermore, insurance support, encouragement, supporting and motivating midwives, enhancing and improving the facilities, providing hospitals and maternity wards with cutting-edge equipment, promoting and reinforcing the position of midwives in the family doctor program, and using a referral system were the strategies proposed by participants for improving midwifery care. Finally, establishing an efficient and powerful monitoring system to control the practice of gynecologists and midwives, promoting the collaborative practice of midwives and gynecologists, and encouraging team-work with respect to midwifery care were other strategies to improve the midwifery services in Iran. Authorities and policymakers may set the stage for developing high quality and affordable midwifery care by relying on the strategies presented in this study.
