No full textExisting research on social media in disaster management usually focuses on the role of social media in emergency management, while the roles of social media in normal times are rarely examined. This study discusses the content of the Facebook group \u27Info Merapi\u27, which is dedicated to disaster risk reduction, especially in the context of Mount Merapi periodic eruptions. The materials of this research are the content of the group over two months periods during the normal times of Mt. Merapi volcanic activities, namely 10 July to 10 August 2016 and 20 August to 20 September 2019. The material was analysed with a critical discourse analysis approach. In addition, this study has also interviewed the admin of the group. This study concludes that in the disaster-prone areas social media have important roles in communicating risk and maintaining the preparedness of local people to future hazards. This study also concludes that Info Merapi represents the traditional beliefs of local people to live in harmony, both in harmony with nature and in harmony with the spirits of Merapi. The group also represents the discourse of \u27beautiful Merapi\u27, which is in sharp contrast to the discourse of \u27dangerous Merapi\u27 as commonly displayed by the Indonesian mainstream media. Info Merapi proposes the local peoples\u27 perspective, focusing on the long normal periods, rather than emphasizing the short eruption periods. Finally, Info Merapi also shows the dominance of modern state-sponsored knowledge about Mt. Merapi and its eruption among local residents on the slopes of Mt. Merapi

The effects of fun at the workplace have led to a phenomenon that impacts both employees and the employer.

beneficial for the organizations as reference to foster suitable fun in the working environment

Evaluation of the implementation of education white paper 6 in selected full-service schools in Kwazulu- Natal
No full textThe South African Department of Education (DoE) is still in the process of phasing in full service schools (FSS), and further development is said to be based on immediate to short-term results. Concerns surrounding the developments were whether available resources were sufficient to further expand the provision of FSS, and if the Education White Paper 6 (EWP6) had been successfully implemented in the previous phases. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the implementation of EWP6 within FSS in Kwazulu-Natal. Purposive sampling was used and the researcher selected Institutional level support team (ILST) members (n=43 participants) within FSS (n=50). Self-administered questionnaires elicited both quantitative and qualitative data which was analysed using SPSS and thematic analysis in order to address the following research questions: have policy objectives been met in the implementation of EWP6 within FSS, what are the barriers to implementing EWP6 within FSS and what strategies have ILST members used to overcome these challenges? Some schools reported successes with implementation of EWP6: enrolment of learners experiencing diverse learning barriers, ILST optimistic attitudes regarding possible benefits of inclusive education and their theoretical knowledge of multi-level teaching, whilst others reported barriers: inadequate resources, support provision to FSS/ILST and training, lack of involvement from parents and communities. If the identified gaps can be addressed, then the implementation of White Paper 6 in FSS could possibly be successful
