This study was conducted to identify the teacher skill level and attitude towards the use of multimedia in the teaching and learning of the Holy Koran for Autism students. This study was conducted using a set of questionnaires that were completed by 40 teachers who teach in the Integrated Special Education Program (PPKI) class selected by random. These quantitative data from the questionnaire were analyzed descriptively through SPSS software, version 22 to obtain the frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between skill level and teacher attitude towards using multimedia in the teaching and learning of the Holy Koran for Autism students. The results of the analysis of the study found that the teacher skill level (M=3.63, SD.=0.82) and teacher attitude (M=3.80, SD.=0.71) were at a moderate and high level. Meanwhile, this study also shows that there is a significant relationship between skill level and teacher attitude. Indeed, the teacher skill level and attitude towards using multimedia in teaching is positive but has weaknesses in terms of the application of multimedia items. Thus, while conducting the teaching process, a teacher must take into account the skill level to be applied and the readiness of the teacher attitude to build a multimedia-based teaching process to be more effective. AbstrakKajian ini dijalankan bagi mengenal pasti tahap kemahiran dan sikap guru terhadap penggunaan multimedia dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran al-Quran untuk murid Autisme. Kajian ini dilakukan menggunakan set soal selidik yang telah dilengkapkan oleh 40 orang guru yang mengajar di kelas Program Pendidikan Khas Integrasi (PPKI) yang dipilih secara rawak. Data kuantitatif daripada soal selidik ini dianalisis secara deskriptif menggunakan SPSS versi 22 bagi mendapatkan kekerapan (frekuensi), peratusan, min dan sisihan piawai. Analisis korelasi Pearson digunakan untuk menentukan hubungan antara tahap kemahiran dengan sikap guru menggunakan multimedia dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran al-Quran murid Autisme. Hasil analisis kajian mendapati, tahap kemahiran guru (M=3.63, SP.=0.82) dan sikap guru (M=3.80, SP.=0.71) berada pada aras sederhana tinggi. Sementara itu, kajian ini juga menunjukkan wujud hubungan yang signifikan antara tahap kemahiran dengan sikap guru. Sememangnya tahap kemahiran dan sikap guru ke arah menggunakan multimedia dalam pengajaran adalah positif tetapi mempunyai kelemahan dari aspek pengaplikasian item-item multimedia. Justeru, semasa menjalankan proses pengajaran, seseorang guru mesti mengambil kira mengenai tahap kemahiran untuk diaplikasikan dan kebersediaan sikap guru untuk membina proses pengajaran berasaskan multimedia agar menjadi lebih efektif.

The current research was aimed at determining the role of school building donorsin financing education in the Western Azerbayjan. The present research is a survey type research and the statistical population of this research included all principals and deputies of education offices in the Western Azerbayjan who amounted to 144 people according to the announcement by the education site. To determine the volume of the sample, given the fact the statistical population was limited, all people were tested; however due to lack of cooperation by some of the subjects, the number of 100 people was chosen to compose the final sample. Data gathering was done by using the researcher made questionnaire for the variable of role of school building donors in financing education with the reliability coefficient of 0/828. Also, to analyze the data, the SPSS software in proportion to the level of measurement, descriptive statistics at the descriptive level, and univariate t coefficient at the explained analytical level were used. The results of testing the first hypothesis suggested that participation in school building affairs would reduce education related crises (Sig=0/001); cash and non-cash contributions by donors would increase the educational financial power (Sig=0/001); elimination of existing obstacles and shortcomings would increase participation in school building affairs (Sig=0/001) and reinforcement of spiritual and eternal motivation would cause motivation for building schools (Sig=0/001).

The Relationship

Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation are the most common procedures performed by nurses as the first responders to cardiac arrest patients in the hospital setting. Therefore, nurses are demanded to have high skills for effective performance. Self-efficacy and knowledge are considered significant factors affecting early initiation of CPR and automated defibrillation. However, previous studies mostly focused on nursing students instead of frontline nurses. Objective: This research aimed to assess the relationship between nurses’ knowledge and self-efficacy regarding the early initiation of CPR and automated defibrillation of cardiac arrest patients.  Methods: The study employed a cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational survey. Using convenience sampling, two hundred eighty-seven nurses working in critical areas and inpatient and outpatient departments, King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), Saudi Arabia, were selected. Resuscitation Knowledge and Self-Efficacy Scales were used for data collection (using Google Form) from November 2020 to January 2021. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation were used for data analysis. Results: Overall, 61.3% of participants had moderate knowledge (13.659 ± 2.175), and 63.8% had high self-efficacy (44.627 ± 58.397). The highest domain of self-efficacy was responding and rescuing, while the lowest domain was debriefing and recording. There was a significant positive relationship between knowledge and self-efficacy (p <0.001; r = 0.207). Conclusion: The positive relationship explained a high level of self-efficacy if there was a high level of knowledge. Thus, it is recommended that nursing programs apply CPR and automated defibrillation curricula during nurses’ internships, clear policies and procedures about CPR and automated defibrillation, continual updates about CPR and automated defibrillation, and knowledge and continuance training (on-job-training) about CPR and automated defibrillation, which can enhance and improve knowledge and self-efficacy among health care workers, especially for nurses.

This is because identifying the resilience indicators and assessing the strengths and weaknesses if properly managed, can reduce the vulnerability of each community to natural disasters. Methods: This is an applied research in terms of purpose and has a descriptive-analytical nature and is conducted using the survey method and questionnaire tool. The collected data are analyzed by SPSS software. In this study, the researchers investigate the socio-economic structures affecting the resilience of rural settlements and rank the villages of the region in terms of resilience using the TOPSIS FUZZY method by applying the resilience indicators in different dimensions (social, economic, institutional-infrastructural, etc.). The statistical population includes all 18 inhabited villages of Kanduleh County which are studied by random sampling. Results: The results indicate the low resilience level of Kanduleh villages, and the economic and social factors have a significant role in increasing the resilience of the rural settlements. In addition, there was a significant correlation between different socio-economic, infrastructural and institutional dimensions, social capital, etc. However, there was no significant relationship between the service factor and the dependent variable of socio-economic factors in the villages. Conclusion: According to the results of the study, the villages of this district were ranked into 8 levels. Tazeh Abad had the highest resilience among the villages, while Kortavij Olya had the lowest resilience.

This study evaluated the relationship between media use and citizens' awareness of coronavirus. The method of this research was quantitative-survey, and the data collection tool was a questionnaire. The sample size was 383 people and determined using the Cochran's formula. The questionnaire was distributed online and conducted within 30 days from the 3 rd April to the 3 rd May of 2020. SPSS software was used to analyze the data. The statistical population of the study was Facebook users. In the present study, the independent variable was media use and the dependent variable was the level of public awareness in three dimensions; awareness, speed of information and fading of traditional beliefs have been measured. Findings showed that the media, especially Facebook, due to the characteristics of availability, decentralization, time and frequency, as well as the role of awareness and information in crisis control and management has been impressed in Afghanistan. Based on the results, the first and second hypotheses of the research that there is a relationship between access to media and high level of awareness as well as the relationship between access to media and increasing the speed of information are confirmed, but the third hypothesis due to the low intensity of the relationship between its variables was somewhat ruled out.
