This study aims to develop a communication model based on local wisdom originating from Sundanese culture, namely Silih Simbeuh, which is carried out by bureaucrats to socialize their policies to the public. The method used is qualitative, with a survey approach – descriptive. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation studies. 29 research informants were determined purposively. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of reduction, display, analysis, and concluding. The objects of research are three governors who actively use social media, namely Anis Baswedan (DKI Jakarta), Ridwan Kamil (West Java), and Ganjar Pranowo (Central Java). The results show that the use of social media can be an effective and efficient communication tool in disseminating policies, through increasing public participation. This is shown in the form of following social media accounts, comments, reposts, and other interactions. The results of other studies show that the communication model using social media based on the Silih Simbeuh concept has proven to be effective in minimizing potential conflicts between policymakers and citizens and between citizens. The research location is narrow, the respondents are limited, and the methods used do not allow for generalizations. Further research is needed with more comprehensive coverage of respondents and methods Silih Simbeuh's local wisdom values can minimize conflicts in the communication process between policymakers and the community

This article studies the opportunities and challenges that persist for the Toy Manufacturing sector in India. India is named for its traditional toy a year back history of 5000 years. The industry gives more employment opportunities and provides more revenue to the people who depend on it. But due to the change in liking of traditional toys, patterns and innovation of Chinese toys create a great deal of trouble to the Indian manufacturers. The study is essential in estimating the opportunities and challenges available in the toy manufacturing sectors in India. The study adopts the literature survey approach, mainly from various agencies' reports and news from the websites. The at manirbar mantra, Covid 19 influence, Global scenarios link shows significant opportunities for toy manufacturing sectors. Challenges are found to be in the availability of foreign toys, increased import duty on raw material and capital goods, and introduction of quality standards in Toy Production.

Abstract Tobacco and cannabis product use can result in debris (a.k.a. litter) on the landscape, with implications to soil and water quality and thus potential impacts to ecosystems. More information is needed regarding how much debris exists on the landscape, such that the magnitude of potential associated environment problems can be quantified. Such information can raise awareness in the public about environmental hazards from tobacco and cannabis product use. The goal of this protocol is to quantify, via a timed survey approach, the tobacco and cannabis debris load (i.e. cigarette butts, cannabis or e-cigarette waste) at study sites. Multiple sites in a geographical location may be of interest for comparative analysis, for example sites used regularly by humans (e.g. trails, parking lots, around buildings, garbage cans) versus other sites that are suspected to have low human use. In any case, the same survey data sheet would be used (included with this protocol). Each survey will take 15 minutes per site to conduct. In the process of surveying, debris is collected and retained for later sorting, counting, and photographic documentation. The time to sort and count the collected debris will depend on the quantity and diversity of debris collected.

Background: Staff retention is a significant issue for ambulance services across the globe. Exploratory research, although minimal, indicates that stress and burnout, in particular, influence attrition within the paramedic profession. These need to be understood if their impact on retention is to be addressed. Aims: To determine the presence of and contributory factors for burnout in the ambulance service to inform recommendations for positive change. Methods: A two-phased survey approach was adopted using an adapted Maslach Burnout Inventory and Copenhagen self-assessment burnout questionnaire, to measure levels of burnout, depersonalisation (cynicism) and personal achievement. Open-ended questions explored factors that influenced these. Demographic and comparative analysis identified trends and thematic analysis was carried out on the qualitative data. Results: Ninety-four per cent of ambulance staff in this study (n=382) reported a sense of personal achievement within their professional role; however, more than 50% were experiencing varying levels of burnout with 87% displaying moderate or high levels of depersonalisation towards their work. Causes of stress were complex: themes attributed were a perceived lack of management support, the public's misuse of the ambulance service, involuntary overtime and a poor work-life balance. Conclusions: Burnout poses a genuine threat to retention in the ambulance service and needs addressing. Proactive screening, better communication between practice staff and management and access to counselling services are recommended. This problem of burnout is beginning to be acknowledged but further evidence is needed to understand it in more depth in order for effective solutions to be developed.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to empirically test a research model exploring the complex links between internal and external manufacturing flexibility capabilities (IF and EF) and competitive advantage (CA).Design/methodology/approachA survey approach with responses from 266 Spanish manufacturing firms from different industries was used. Structural equation modelling and SPSS macro PROCESS were used to test the hypotheses.FindingsManufacturing flexibility (MF) is a dual-dimensional concept composed by IF and EF, which are complementary and hierarchical in its development. Contrary to previous assumptions, IF does not always express its final competitive effect through EF, which only partially mediates the IF–CA relationship. Thus, IF and EF independently can positively enhance a firm's CA, being the direct effect of the IF being stronger than EF.Practical implicationsThis study offers practical insights supporting a guide for prioritising flexibility capabilities through the holistic MF implementation, thus assisting managers wishing to formulate MF strategies seeking efficiency and customer value advantages relative to competitors.Originality/valueThe main novelty of this work is to explore for the first time the direct and indirect role of IF on CA, enlarging the assumptions of the flexibility funnel framework (FFF) and the strategic view of MF. The study is also unique due to both the depth and breadth of the investigation of the basis of the use of resource-based theory (RBT) and by employing a recent and comprehensive MF conceptual systematisation to guide the measurement approach.

RESUMO   O presente artigo propõe uma reflexão acerca da importância do ensino da literatura dentro de uma proposta pedagógica na Educação Infantil preocupada com a Educação das relações étnico-raciais no Brasil. Ademais, busca pensar a formação do leitor literário numa perspectiva identitária para a promoção de uma Educação antirracista continuada. O trabalho reúne os seguintes aportes teóricos: Cosson (2012), Bordini e Aguiar (1993), Brasil (2004; 2017), Munanga (2005), entre outros. Quanto à metodologia, consiste em uma pesquisa bibliográfica e uma análise descritiva das seguintes obras literárias infantis: Amoras (2018), de Emicida, e Meu crespo é de rainha (2018), de bell hooks[1]. Conclui-se que esta pesquisa se torna relevante uma vez que segue as determinações da Lei 10.639/2003, que alude à obrigatoriedade do ensino da questão étnico-racial, temática que carece mais atenção na Educação Básica, desencadeando e propondo atender a questões presentes no ensino na Educação Infantil, oferecendo possibilidades por meio da literatura para um letramento étnico-racial efetivo e precoce.   Palavras-chave: Formação de leitores; educação infantil; representatividade; letramento étnico-racial.   ABSTRACT The present article aims at discussing the importance of teaching literature for children within the scope of a pedagogical approach concerned with ethnic-racial relations education, from children`s education on, in Brazil. Furthermore, it aims at thinking about the literary reader`s literacy according to an identity perspective so that it promotes antiracist education over the time. The paper brings the following authors together: Cosson (2012), Bordini e Aguiar (1993), Brasil (2004; 2017), Munanga (2005), among others. It consists of a bibliographical survey approach and a descriptive analysis of the following children books: Amoras (2018), by Emicida, and Meu crespo é de rainha (2018), by bell hooks. The relevance of the work lays on the fact it has followed Federal Law n. 10.639/2003, which has imposed the teaching of ethnic-racial issues in Brazil. This theme wants to be given more attention in Basic Education so that it answers issues that are present in early education, in order to offer children many possibilities through literature to ethnic-racial effective and early literacy.   Keywords: Training of readers; childhood education; representativeness; ethnic-racial literacy.

The purpose of the study is to use the advertisements of four real airline artistic endorsers to analyze the contribution of the artistic endorser to discuss possible marketing strategies through an empirical questionnaire survey approach. Data were collected from the airport. Among them, 411 valid questionnaires were finally recovered. The hypothesis of the research model was tested by the SEM approach. The artistic endorser of the airline plays the role of catalyst in the marketing process to improve the airline's operational performance; this leads to our finding that the celebrity artistic endorsement should be carefully chosen in the airlines so that the image in advertising strategies and passengers' believing in celebrity endorsement would be matched; Airline companies are searching for strategies to develop stable connecting relationships with their passengers and to increase their company revenue by strengthening marketing strategy to deliver messages by utilizing the celebrity endorsement concept of passenger preferred airline based on their trust in celebrity endorser. This study contributes celebrity endorsement to the predictability of recommendation of airlines following artistic endorser sense-making of passengers' paradigm. As expected, the recommendation of airlines is most dominantly influenced by celebrity endorsement. Through empirical research, we supplement the significance of the artistic endorser sense-making perspective.

Comprehensively monitoring indoor environmental quality (IEQ) parameters and their dynamic relations is essential to ensure improved productivity and a healthy environment for building occupants. Although IEQ significantly influences working efficiency, studies addressing this aspect with researchers in institutes as the focal point are limited. Thus, this study employed drill-down analyses, such as floor-by-floor and building-by-building examinations and used an occupant IEQ survey approach to evaluate working conditions in research buildings. This study systematically and objectively assessed IEQ using the Korea building occupant survey system. The results indicate that acoustic qualities affect the work productivity and satisfaction of the building occupants. The floor-by-floor analysis is necessary to identify IEQ factors and the reasons for the satisfaction of occupants. Additionally, it is important to improve the user-friendliness of the system, implement frequent survey distribution systems, and empirically analyze data associations among building, spatial, and demographical characteristics.
