Recently, promoting inclusive education has become the central initiative for governments worldwide. The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework has been developed to address students’ differences and meet their learning needs. Although some literature has examined the effectiveness of the UDL framework in teaching practices, little research has explored teachers’ and students’ beliefs toward the UDL framework. This study used a scoping review methodology to locate previous studies about teachers’ and students’ beliefs regarding the UDL framework published in peer-reviewed journals in the past 10 years (2014–2023). The data analysis conceptualized three themes and indicated that most teachers and students held positive beliefs toward the UDL framework and thought that the UDL framework could support inclusive practices. However, some barriers, such as teachers’ misconceptions, inflexible curriculum, and inadequate professionals, influenced teachers’ implementation of the UDL framework. The implications for future research and the recommendations for teachers’ practices and professional development are also provided.

This study examined how personality influences consumer behavior of electronic game players. Participants ( N = 479) were respectively placed into four groups called microtransaction group (if they had made any in-game microtransactions, n = 192), free-game group (if they had only played entirely free games, n = 124), pay-to-play group (if they had only played games that needed just one-time payment upon purchase, n = 19), and non-microtransaction group (if they had not made any in-game microtransactions although the games provided such services, n = 144). The results indicated that the microtransaction group had higher levels of extraversion and openness than the non-microtransaction group. Additionally, the microtransaction group showed higher levels of dispositional greed and narcissism than all other groups. However, there were no significant differences in agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, or self-control among the groups. The study also found that the possibility of making in-game microtransactions decreased with age. These findings have important implications for game developers and marketers, who may use this information to tailor their products and marketing strategies to specific personality types and age groups.

This study was motivated by the recent prevalence of valuation professionals utilizing EBITDA measures as part of their equity valuation strategies. To examine the impact of such valuation measures on share price variations, we developed a variant of the Ohlson valuation model that relates EBITDA, equity book values, growth, risk and negative earnings to share prices. We validated this relationship by utilizing the complete time-series data of the largest companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange from 1994 to 2017. We found that our model specification accounted for over 87% of the variance in the logarithmic-transformed share prices. Furthermore, the response coefficients for each explanatory variable were statistically significant, regardless of whether companies or sectors were incorporated as cross-sections. These findings have several significant empirical implications. Firstly, they demonstrate that EBITDA and equity book value variables significantly impact share price variations. Secondly, they lend credence to the hypotheses that growth and risk factors impact share price variations, and that negative earnings are value relevant. Ultimately, these findings constitute conclusive evidence of the empirical validity of the model specification we posit.JEL classification codes: G10, G12, G14, G11, G32, M41.

Firms are increasingly expected to exhibit social responsibility and contribute to sustainability goals. Emerging studies have highlighted the importance of responsible leaders who stimulate their employees, which then results in employee voluntary behavior toward the environmental practices, referred to as organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE). Drawing from social learning theory, the current study explores the impact of responsible leadership (RL) on OCBE using data obtained from employees of Turkish manufacturing firms. Additionally, employee harmonious environmental passion and environmental transformational leadership (ETL) were examined as mediator and moderator respectively. The results indicated that RL has a positive effect on OCBE. RL has a positive effect on employee harmonious environmental passion. Employee harmonious environmental passion has a positive effect on OCE. The relationship between RL and OCBE was mediated by employee harmonious environmental passion. Also, it was discovered that high level of ETL, the link between RL and OCBE is stronger for firms’ whose employees perceived high ETL. Based on the findings, implications for practice and research were discussed.

Families with parents with visual disabilities and sighted children continue to be viewed with suspicion and prejudice; however, when suitable conditions are provided, these families can function in a healthy manner. Social work, as a profession, is of great importance in terms of empowering these families. The aim of this article is to understand how such families function. We interrogate how disability affects functioning and consider the circumstances under which healthy family functioning occurs. Interviews were conducted with nine mothers and nine fathers with visual disabilities, and nine sighted children in Türkiye. The findings indicate that family members’ autonomy, their ability to adapt, and the social support they receive play key roles in the existence of a functional, strong family. Finally, suggestions are presented for social workers on how they can help families to make them stronger.

This research aims to develop a reliable and validated fan typology scale and to examine whether the perception of the quality of a sports event differs according to fan typology. In the first stage of the research, the scale was developed using quantitative research methods. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was applied to 339 fans, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used on 260 fans. Analysis results show that the structure of the tested scale provides valid and reliable evidence, and the structure consists of 35 items gathered under seven dimensions. After the development of the scale, in the second stage of the research, the relationship between the typologies of the fans and the quality perceptions of the sports event was examined. While Gençlerbirliği and Ankaragücü supporters using the Eryaman Stadium constituted the universe of the research, the sample of the study consisted of 502 fans selected by criterion sampling method. A two-stage hierarchical cluster analysis was used to reveal the fan typology. In addition, the research questions were tested using the t-test, ANOVA, and χ2. It was determined that four types of fans emerged: “hooligan,”“fanatic,”“classical,” and “social.” In addition, it was determined that the perceptions of event quality differed significantly according to the fan’s typologies. In this direction, it can be said that football clubs should develop different communication strategies to improve the perception of all fan types.

While the positive effects of physical activity (PA) on mental health are well documented, limited research has explored its influence on the positive psychological well-being in elderly individuals. This study examined the effects of a multi-component PA intervention on various facets of psychological well-being among older adults residing in retirement homes. Fifty-eight elderly individuals (mean age = 83.8 years, 76.3% female) residing in retirement homes participated either in either a 12 week multi-component PA intervention program or in an attention control group. Those in the intervention group engaged in supervised group exercise lessons for 45 min, three times per week, and used wearable activity monitors during weekdays over 12 weeks. Assessments were conducted before and after the intervention to measure happiness, life satisfaction, eudaimonic well-being, and depressive symptoms, which are four components of psychological well-being. On average, those in the intervention group attended about 86.9% of group exercise sessions and used the activity trackers for 97.5% of the designated days. Results from linear mixed models indicated that the intervention had a positive effect on happiness in the intervention group, but not in the control group. Nonetheless, no significant differences were found in terms of changes in eudaimonic well-being, life satisfaction, and depressive symptoms between the two groups. This selective impact on different dimensions of psychological well-being implies that subsequent research could explore the integration of more comprehensive components in PA interventions targeting all dimensions of psychological well-being, as each of them is a key aspect of healthy aging and independently related to a range of health outcomes amongst older adults.

The widespread adoption of digital technology have catalyzed a surge in digital governance (DG). This paper aims to conduct a systematic analysis of 4,782 documents retrieved from the WOS database. Employing bibliometric methods, we unveil the landscape of hotspots, evolutionary trajectories, and emerging trends in DG research. Our findings indicate that the focal points of DG encompass corporate governance, digital finance governance, digital government governance, smart city governance, and Internet and digital platform governance. These topics exhibit a structural synergy, and interconnectedness, with data serving as the key. While there exist disparities in research emphasis across the evolution of distinct DG topics, the overarching trend suggests a shift in the field from localized to globalized governance. Moreover, the research perspective is transitioning from application-specific inquiries to the establishment of comprehensive governance systems. This transformation extends from singular, fragmented governance modes to innovative, synergistic models. International Internet governance, global digital governance, digital governance analysis framework, smart transformation of urban governance, and multi-dimensional collaborative governance represent pivotal directions for future research. By examining research status and intrinsic connection of each topic in DG, this endeavor aids researchers to grasp its development situation, rectify research gaps, and furnish invaluable references to advance theoretical inquiry and practical applications within the sphere of DG.

The goal of this study is to determine the function of work engagement as a mediating factor in the relationship between job crafting, task performance, and employability in the hospitality sector. A questionnaire was applied and participants were drawn from 209 hotel employees in İstanbul, and Kocaeli, Türkiye. To test these hypotheses, structural equation modeling was implemented. The findings show that job crafting is linked to employability and task performance positively. Furthermore, this research looks into the role of work engagement as a mediator in the links between job crafting, perceived employability and task performance. The findings reveal that there are considerable indirect effects, implying that work engagement is mediated. Thus, our results suggest that job crafting was a positive predictor of perceived employability and task performance and work engagement has a mediator role between those variables in the hospitality sector.

Developmental language disorder (DLD) is a language deficit affecting approximately 7% of the general population and does not associate with any hearing impairment, neurological damage, or mental disorder. In DLD, the complications arise over time due to the learning difficulties experienced, which causes eventual cognitive delay compared to peers. Therefore, early diagnosis is important in children with DLD. In this study, the objective was to screen for early signs of learning disability in children aged 4 to 6 years with DLD. The study included 30 normal developing children and 26 children with DLD. The children with normal development comprised 17 boys and 13 girls, while the group of children with DLD included 16 boys and 10 girls. Learning disability was evaluated using the Learning Disability Early Symptoms Screening Scale (LDESSS) and Test of Early Literacy (TEL). Children with DLD scored higher on all subscales of LDESSS and lower on all subscales of TEL than the normal developing group ( p < .001). According to LDESSS and TEL scores, the risk of learning disability in children with DLD was significantly higher than the normal developing group. In addition, gender had no significant association in terms of learning disability. Since the risk of learning disabilities in children with DLD is higher than normal developing peers, early diagnosis and early therapy is recommended to prevent academic and social problems in the future.

Therefore, early diagnosis is important in children with DLD. In this study, the objective was to screen for early signs of learning disability in children aged 4 to 6 years with DLD. The study included 30 normal developing children and 26 children with DLD. The children with normal development comprised 17 boys and 13 girls, while the group of children with DLD included 16 boys and 10 girls. Learning disability was evaluated using the Learning Disability Early Symptoms Screening Scale (LDESSS) and Test of Early Literacy (TEL). Children with DLD scored higher on all subscales of LDESSS and lower on all subscales of TEL than the normal developing group ( p < .001). According to LDESSS and TEL scores, the risk of learning disability in children with DLD was significantly higher than the normal developing group. In addition, gender had no significant association in terms of learning disability. Since the risk of learning disabilities in children with DLD is higher than normal developing peers, early diagnosis and early therapy is recommended to prevent academic and social problems in the future.","PeriodicalId":48167,"journal":{"name":"Sage Open","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142177312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
