Authors: Helena Putri Zahra , Puspitasari Laras Dwi
Published: August 2024

In daily life and business, risk is unavoidable. Therefore, various ways can be applied to predict and overcome risks. One type of risk that needs to be anticipated especially in the business world is investment risk. Thus, Value at Risk (VaR) is an important tool to predict and anticipate investment risk. This study aims to determine the results of the Value at Risk (VaR) value in the bank sub-sector stock price using the historical simulation method and Monte Carlo simulation for the period 2020-2023. The data used is secondary data sourced from www.yahoo.finance.com which are companies whose stocks are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) and included in the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Sampling was carried out by taking 5 bank companies, namely Bank Umum Koperasi Indonesia (BBKB), Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat dan Banten (BJBR), Bank MEGA (MEGA), Bank Syariah Indonesia (BRIS), dan Bank CIMB Niaga (BNGA). From the results of the Value at Risk (VaR) value analysis using the historical simulation method and the Monte Carlo simulation method, it is obtained that the company that has the highest VaR risk level is Bank Syariah Indonesia (BRIS).

Effect of Culinary Tourism on Local Economic Development in South Africa
Authors: Andrew Bain
Published: August 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the effect of culinary tourism on local economic development in South Africa.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The study revealed this form of tourism, centered around experiencing local cuisine and food-related activities, contributes to the economic vitality of a region by attracting visitors who spend on dining, food tours, cooking classes, and local food markets. These expenditures generate revenue for local businesses, including restaurants, farmers, food producers, and hospitality services, thereby creating job opportunities and stimulating economic growth. Additionally, culinary tourism fosters the preservation and promotion of local food culture and heritage, which can enhance a destination's unique appeal and competitiveness. This tourism niche often leads to increased demand for local ingredients, thereby supporting agricultural sectors and encouraging sustainable farming practices. Furthermore, the development of food festivals and culinary events can boost off-season tourism, providing a steadier stream of income for local economies. Overall, culinary tourism not only enhances the economic landscape but also reinforces community identity and pride, making it a valuable component of regional development strategies.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social exchange theory, multiplier effect theory and sustainable tourism development theory may be used to anchor future studies on assessing the effect of culinary tourism on local economic development in South Africa. To mitigate local governments, businesses, and community organizations should work together to create cohesive culinary tourism strategies. Policymakers should create frameworks that encourage sustainable culinary tourism practices.

Being convicted and staying behind bars for many years can give the convicted fear and shame during and after the conviction. To shed light on this issue, this study explored the lived experiences of ex-offenders and how they coped with their reintegration process in the community using a phenomenological qualitative approach. This study used purposive sampling in selecting the participants of the study based on the following criteria: must be ex-offenders and have experiences with or encountering difficulties throughout the reintegration process. Six ex-offenders were interviewed using unstructured interview guide questions. The response gathered from the interview was transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis, which aimed to determine the lived experiences of ex-offenders during their reintegration into the community. The findings revealed that the participants experienced bad treatment when they came back into the community. They overcame those experiences with the help and support of their family and peers. Moreover, the lack of opportunities and financial assistance was also determined by the researchers. Based on the findings and conclusion of the study, the researchers came up with the following recommendations; for better reintegration of the ex-offenders in the community, the family member can strengthen their attention and help them cope-up with the challenges and symposiums about the life of the ex-offender during conviction and emphasized the importance of assisting the ex-offender on their path to a successful reintegration in the community.
Necessity and Sufficiency of Belief, Justification and Truth as Conditions for Knowledge
Authors: Nzioka John Mosu , Nyangau Dynesius , Kagema Dickson Nkonge
Published: August 2024

Philosophers have always considered knowledge in an epistemological perspective to entail propositional knowledge, not skill acquisition or possession or acquaintance. In order for information to qualify as knowledge, it must meet three necessary and sufficient conditions; belief, justification and truth. A necessary condition in knowledge is one without which we cannot validly claim to know. A necessary condition is that which offers enough basis to guarantee the existence of knowledge. However, some scholars have cast doubt as to whether these three conditions are necessary and sufficient for knowledge. To justify their claims, they present scenarios in which at least one of the conditions is absent and yet knowledge is attained. The objective of this paper was to examine the nature and validity of the three classical conditions for knowledge. The study was library-based and involved an examination of relevant texts by various scholars. The paper examined each of the arguments for or against JTB conception of knowledge and demonstrated the insufficiency of the counter arguments presented by critiques of the JTB conditions. This study posited that each of the conditions is necessary for knowledge, but none is sufficient by itself. They are collectively sufficient for knowledge. As such, absence of one limits the possibility of knowledge acquisition. Belief is a necessary condition because it enables the subject to have an awareness of the truth value (truth or falsity) of their ideas. A conviction that an idea is true or false forms the basis of one’s understanding of it. Truth is necessary for knowledge because when we claim knowledge of something, we must demonstrate that we really know it and the only way to do this is by proving that our belief is in agreement with the state of affairs. Further, justification cannot be wished away because it is what makes our beliefs worth having. In its absence, it would not be possible to distinguish between a belief that is worth holding and one that should be discarded because there would be no reason whatsoever to reject any belief or conviction.
Exploring Macroeconomic Factors of Income Inequality: A Comparative Analysis of Emerging Markets and Developing Economies and Advanced Economies
Authors: Maniar Kiara Keyur
Published: August 2024

Income inequality has exhibited a dynamic and variable trend throughout history. After declining post World War II in Advanced Economies (AEs), it surged during the 1980s due to sluggish economic growth. Meanwhile, Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDEs) witnessed higher Gini Coefficients during the 1980s but saw moderate levels of inequality in the early 2000s. Over the past decade, however, income inequality in AEs and EMDEs has become increasingly unpredictable, reaching some of the highest levels recorded. While prior studies have explored this area, they have focused on either a broad sample of countries or numerous factors, rarely combining both aspects. This study analyses the impact of 8 macroeconomic factors on income inequality, proxied by the Gini Coefficient, in EMDEs and AEs from 2010 to 2021. It employs a Fixed Effects Model for the 24 EMDEs and Random Effects Model for the 31 AEs, thereby factoring in a total of 5280 observation points. The findings reveal that unemployment is the biggest driver of inequality in both EMDEs and AEs. It exerts a positive bearing at a significance level of less than 1%, exerting a more pronounced impact in EMDEs than AEs. Additionally, in EMDEs, fertility rate and economic growth significantly increase income inequality while financial development mitigates it. Conversely, economic growth has a negative influence on the Gini Coefficient in AEs. Contrary to expectations, traditional economic indicators like inflation, foreign Investment, and trade openness do not significantly impact income inequality in either group. Literacy, often believed to lower the Gini, is also statistically insignificant. The evolving and multifaceted nature of inequality underscores the need for this study - a more holistic approach to studying income inequality, considering factors beyond conventional economic metrics. This research provides valuable insights for policymakers and economists striving to address income inequality in EMDEs and AEs.
Exploring the impact of landscape design on user preferences in shopping centers post the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Aslantamer Özlem Nur , Ilgın Hüseyin Emre
Published: August 2024

This study explores the impact of landscape design, which has gained importance alongside architectural changes in shopping centers, and investigates preferences in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era. Although e-commerce has increased during the pandemic, research and societal behaviors suggest that shopping centers will continue to serve as contemporary agoras due to their socialization and leisure functions. However, in response to the pandemic, it is anticipated that newly designed shopping centers will be architecturally conceived as semi-outdoor or outdoor spaces, regardless of climate conditions. This transformation will involve the softening of rigid appearances through landscape elements, making them both ecologically and psychologically sustainable. The number of studies on this subject is limited. To address this knowledge gap, an online survey was conducted with 586 randomly selected users across nine shopping centers located in three major cities of Turkey: Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir, with three shopping centers in each city. The survey investigated users' preferences for architectural styles (indoor, semi-outdoor, or outdoor) and landscape design in shopping centers. The findings of the study indicate that post-pandemic, outdoor and semi-outdoor shopping centers are likely to be preferred more frequently. An emphasis is likely to be placed on natural landscape elements such as plants and water features in landscape design. Furthermore, shopping center designs are likely to become simpler, offering comfortable and spacious navigation areas while optimizing parking and transportation conditions. This study is expected to shed light on decision-making processes for future shopping centers. By incorporating consumer preferences, architects can enhance the sustainability of shopping center investments through next-generation design.
Navigating priorities: Assessing the challenges of curriculum reform in Turkish Urban and Regional Planning Schools
Authors: Şen İpek , Koramaz Kerem
Published: August 2024

Planning departments in Türkiye recently witnessed a boom. In less than 20 years, the number of universities offering urban planning programs increased from a dozen to 45, most accepting students with limited resources. Urban planning education has faced many challenges over the last two decades, and offering education with limited resources carried this problem to another level, increasing concerns among scholars about the quality of the education and the learning outcomes a planner should possess at graduation. While planning schools in Türkiye deals with the issues above, global debates in planning education revolve around integrating topics such as climate change, inequality, informality, and decolonization into the curriculum. This study aimed to reveal to what extent global issues find their way into Turkish planning school agendas in an environment where more pressing matters threaten the quality of education. To look further into this issue, all documents published by TUPOB (Türkiye Planning Schools Association) since its foundation were analyzed, and seven in-depth interviews with TUPOB members were conducted. A predominantly qualitative approach was utilized. The findings suggest that the lack of resources is the most critical problem for urban planning schools, followed by insufficient teaching faculty. The curriculum updates and integration of global issues such as climate change and urban poverty come later in the priorities list. This research showed that concerns regarding resources and lack of standards take precedence over global discussions in planning curricula.

Published: August 2024

This research employs remote sensing techniques to map agricultural drought in the Constantine region of Algeria during the years 2021 to 2023. Using Landsat images processed through the Google Earth Engine platform, three indices (NDVI, VHI, and SPI) were calculated. The findings indicate deterioration in both climatic conditions and vegetation health. Specifically, NDVI and SPI exhibit decreases, while VHI shows an increase, signaling heightened water stress. The inverse relationship between NDVI and VHI underscores the connection between water availability and vegetation health. Additionally, a detailed analysis reveals severe drought conditions in the Southwestern part of the region. This study showcases the value of utilizing remote sensing technology on the Google Earth Engine platform for monitoring climate and vegetation patterns over space and time. These insights can help in forecasting the effects of climate change on agriculture and inform the adoption of suitable strategies to ensure food security.
Perceptual effect of color use in patient rooms
Authors: Noraslı Mehmet
Published: August 2024

Messages are conveyed to users through every element within the space. People receive these messages through sense organs. People and space interact constantly because of the way that they perceive and transmit space. People also establish their action boundaries, identify their motivational criteria, and feel a sense of belonging to the place they experience as a result of this interaction. In this way, the location, with all of its characteristics, influences the mental health of those who inhabit it. The colors chosen for patient rooms have a significant impact on the emotional and mental health of the patients, given the medical procedures and rehabilitation programs that they undergo. Patients' healing processes may vary based on the physical characteristics of the environment in which they are situated. Hospitals are intricate functional structures, so specific design requirements should be established by assessing every department independently. The purpose of this study is to determine how people's perception of spatial quality in general patient rooms where two adults stay during treatment is affected by the use of color. In the research method, adjective pairs were determined in line with spatial quality in order to reveal the perceptual effect of color variables in patient rooms. The survey technique was applied according to this experimental design. By simulating the patient room- which was proposed as the study area- in a digital environment with a one-to-one scale, the colors identified as the dependent variable in the study's methodology were visualized independently. The survey technique was employed to ask questions about the perceptual effect of colors on people who have experienced patient rooms by using adjective pairs based on the spatial quality level. The orange color used in patient room interior design was found to be eye-catching, communication facilitator, inviting, pleasing, encouraging, and sincere, while the blue color was found to be comforting and refreshing, based on data acquired from the survey, which was administered to 168 people in total. Many spaces in hospital buildings serve a variety of purposes, and the patients who use these spaces have a range of needs. For this very reason, it is advised that these hospital units be included in the interior design process utilizing information supported by empirical research, with each space being specially designed to meet its unique requirements and functions.
The Dilemma of Sustainable Procurement: An Exploration of Challenges in the Context of Multi-Theoretical Perspective
Authors: Opoku-Mensah Foster Abrampa , Ahenkan Albert , Adane Francis
Published: August 2024

Sustainable procurement adoption is slow in many developing countries. Apart from the general need for exploring the issue from a qualitative perspective, there are specific calls to address the challenges leading to slow adoption of sustainable procurement in developing countries. This study explores the challenges of sustainable procurement from a qualitative perspective in the context of Principal-Agent and Stakeholder theories. A qualitative approach is adopted to interview 20 personnel along the supply chain of two teaching hospitals in Ghana and 4 officials from 3 regulatory institutions. Interviewees are selected with the use of snowballing and purposive sampling techniques. Results indicate five challenges of SP including economic, political, bureaucratic, legal, and technical challenges with thirteen sub-challenges. Further exploration finds that, the combined effects of ill-fated interests from sections of stakeholders and malfunctioned principal-agent relations contribute to narrowing the gates for adopting sustainability procurement. The multifaceted nature of the challenges demands that any attempt to address them must be multifaceted as well. Again, because an organization's quest to maintain good relations with certain stakeholders, like customers, suppliers and workers, may lead the former to a dysfunctional behavior such as procuring unsustainably, the study recommends that decision-makers be adequately skilled to be able to identify stakeholders with good intent from those with bad intent. They should also be well resourced and be trained on how to refuse ill-fated demands from ill-fated stakeholders. While the study illustrates some novel challenges of sustainable procurement, such as logging and breaking of bulks, it also gives a clear explanation of how several known solitary challenges such as the individual political challenges combine to affect sustainable procurement. The study provides explanations on how stakeholders and principal-agency relations can sometimes malfunction against sustainable procurement adoption.

A successful learner plans, monitors, and evaluates his/her learning. Therefore, this study determined the effect of self-regulated learning instructional strategy on students' achievement in Physics concepts among senior secondary schools in Education District II Lagos State. Four research questions and four hypotheses guided this research. The hypotheses were tested at a 0.05 level of signicance. The design of this study was a pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental design. The study population consists of the SS2research Physics students in the 2022/ 2023 school year in Lagos State. Through a multi-stage sampling technique, four schools from Education District II, Lagos State were selected. The sample consists of 109 students from intact classes of the four schools. Physics achievement test adapted from the West African Senior School Certicate Examination (WASSCE) past questions was used to collect data. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results revealed: rst, the Self- regulated learning instructional strategy (SLIS) is an effective learning instructional strategy that can potentially enhance students' achievement in Physics more than the talk-and-marker instructional strategy (TIS). Second, this study established no signicant gender difference in learners' achievement in Physics. The researchers recommend that Physics teachers adopt SLIS in teaching and learning Physics since it has proven to be an active learning strategy. Seminars and workshops should be organized for Physics teachers on how to use SLIS to teach Physics. Inspectors of Physics should monitor and supervise Physics teachers on using SLIS in teaching and learning of Physics.

Published: August 2024

World War I is known to have been one of the most transformative events in the tumultuous history of the twentieth century. The war with its drastic social and political influences has led to a revival of interest in studying the recesses of human mind in the field of literature. Modernism as a literary movement, especially in the wake of World War I, has had its leading role in exploring human psyche, but has simultaneously become the focal point of numerous discussions with its elusive nature. This contentious aspect of modernism can be said to have become manifest in its tackling the issues of social fragmentation, solipsism, and capitalism within literary realm. The entirety of the referred points also falls into the scope of Social Atomism Theory which is believed to have gained prominence in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. At this point, it must be noted that, one of the most well-known poems of modern period, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, provides an apt site for delving into the concept of social atomism. Relevantly, this article aims to elucidate the ways in which the experiences of Prufrock align with those of an alienated or socially atomised
individual.

EDUCACIÓN, EL PENSAMIENTO COMPLEJO Y SUS MEDIACIONES NEUROEDUCATIVAS
Authors: Hernández Palacios Luis Jorge
Published: August 2024

En el siglo XXI, la educación se enfrenta a desafíos sin precedentes, impulsados por un entorno globalizado y una acelerada evolución tecnológica. En este contexto, el paradigma de la complejidad emerge como un marco conceptual que busca comprender la naturaleza intrincada e interconectada de los procesos educativos. Este artículo se sumerge en la intersección de tres dimensiones cruciales: el pensamiento complejo, la neuroeducación y la metodología de enseñanza y aprendizaje indagatoria. El presente texto, a través del método hermenéutico y heurístico, y bajo el enfoque cualitativo de la investigación, se propone explorar la convergencia de estos elementos, abordando la siguiente pregunta central: ¿cómo pueden el paradigma de la complejidad, la neuroeducación y la metodología de enseñanza y aprendizaje indagatoria converger para enriquecer y transformar la educación en el siglo XXI? A través de un análisis interdisciplinario, este artículo busca no solo comprender estos conceptos de manera individual, sino también descubrir las sinergias que pueden surgir al integrarlos en la práctica educativa.

Como é que a educação matemática pode estabelecer um diálogo com a antropologia e em especial com a virada ontológica? A nossa contribuição para responder a esta questão será através de uma discussão dos conceitos de materialidade e da antropologia das coisas, tendo como pano de fundo a nossa consideração da sua aplicabilidade à nossa investigação em particular. Sem realizar a análise dos nossos dados em si, concentrar-nos-emos em se e como as diferentes perspectivas analisadas poderiam ser uma boa opção para a nossa análise. Começamos com um alerta para nos lembrar dos cuidados que devemos tomar, nomeadamente evitar emprestar teorias de outras áreas sem estabelecer diálogos com investigadores experientes nessas áreas. Fazemos uma breve introdução ao nosso trabalho de investigação, que é uma etnografia sobre o jogo do uril praticado na ilha de São Vicente, Cabo Verde. Apresentamos uma revisão da literatura sobre a chamada virada ontológica, com especial atenção aos conceitos de materialidade e agência. Concluímos que a noção de Técnicas Corporais de Mauss será um quadro antropológico adequado para uma análise posterior dos nossos dados, e consideramos que representará um afastamento de alguns pressupostos básicos na educação matemática.

O beach tennis apresenta interesse acadêmico recente e estudos que envolvem seus conteúdos e possibilidades de ensino mostram-se relevantes para ampliar as discussões desse contexto. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar e analisar os conteúdos selecionados e os métodos de ensino utilizados por treinadores na iniciação. Cinco treinadores de um município do estado de São Paulo foram entrevistados e os discursos analisados por meio da Análise Temática Reflexiva. Dois temas e quatro subtemas foram construídos, e revelaram que os conteúdos técnico-táticos relatados corroboram em parte os relatos da literatura. Por outro lado, foi possível notar que os treinadores apoiam-se em abordagens de ensino tanto com princípios análogos ao behaviorismo como ao construtivismo, também com a perspectiva do ensino da técnica em momento anterior à tática. Sugere-se que na iniciação haja o planejamento de situações que permitam abordar a movimentação/ocupação espacial, usar a raquete contra a bola e tomar decisões intencionais.

A palavra impotência, do latim impotentia, significa falta de poder, falta de força, insuficiência e impossibilidade física ou moral. Esse sentimento é definido pela Taxonomia da NANDA-I como uma “experiência vivida de falta de controle sobre uma situação, inclusive uma percepção de que as próprias ações não afetam, de forma significativa, um resultado”. O sentimento de impotência pode estar relacionado à ansiedade, ao apoio social insuficiente, à baixa autoestima, ao conhecimento insuficiente de controle de situações, à dor, à estigmatização, às estratégias de enfrentamento ineficazes e às interações interpessoais insuficientes. Ademais, pode estar presente nas mulheres durante o parto normal.

O avanço de pesquisas clínicas e farmacológicas sobre as infecções pelo Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana (HIV) tem proporcionado mudanças significativas na qualidade e expectativa de vida as Pessoas Vivendo com HIV/Aids (PVHA), embora a doença ainda se configure um problema de saúde pública. Esta mudança deve-se, sobretudo, à eficácia da Terapia Antirretroviral (TARV), uma associação de fármacos que, mesmo não possibilitando a cura, inibe a replicação viral e a progressão da infecção pelo HIV. O uso da TARV, além de reduzir a morbimortalidade pelo vírus, permite uma importante transformação na construção social da doença, sendo esta, agora, considerada uma doença crônica. Quando associada a outras medidas, como o uso de preservativos, feminino e masculino, aconselhamento e acesso a Profilaxia Pós-Exposição sexual (PEP sexual), há uma maior eficácia na redução da transmissão do vírus.
