Educação e Xamanismo: ensinar a complexa matemática da vida
Authors: Araújo Carlos Eduardo de
Published: September 2023

Os conhecimentos construídos nas diferentes ciências nos revelam a complexa matemática da vida. Seja na alquimia, na medicina, na astrologia, seja na sociologia, na psicologia, na música e no xamanismo, encontramos as diversas conexões que se estabelecem entre todos na terra, onde se permitem fusões, combinações, potencialidades e outras operações. Uma educação de base complexa reconhece o diálogo entre saberes científicos e os saberes da tradição, em sintonia com a diversidade de estratégias que ensinem a viver. Uma educação que se propõe construir o sujeito integral pode ter como estratégia um educar para o presente e para o sensível, conforme argumenta Daniel Munduruku. Compreendendo como desafio maior a fragmentação dos saberes e a negação de outras narrativas, é preciso reafirmar a urgência de uma reforma do pensamento para uma educação da vida.

Authors: Omojemite Matthew D.
Published: September 2023

The study investigated the impact of scaffolding learning strategy on pre-service teachers’ attitude to cybercrime prevention. The study adopted the quasi-experimental research design of the survey type. The following instrument was developed by the researcher and used for the study, namely: Scaffolding Learning Strategy Guide and Lecture Note (SLSG), Conventional Method Guide and Lecture Note (CMG), Attitude to Cybercrime Prevention Scale (ACPS) and Computer Literacy Test (CLT). The participants for this study were selected using multistage sampling procedure. The first stage involved the use of simple random sampling technique to select three universities (one university for each learning strategy) in the region i.e. Southwest, Nigeria. This was followed by the use of purposive sampling technique to select the department of Social Studies education in each of the universities was selected. Consequently, intact class in each of the selected universities was used alongside three research assistants and three lecturers of the department. The data obtained through the administration of the instruments was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. All the hypotheses were tested and decisions were taken at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that Scaffolding Learning Strategy (SLS) has no effect on the attitude of Social Studies Pre-service Teachers’ attitude to cybercrime prevention, teachers’ gender does not affect their attitude towards cybercrime prevention and computer literacy does not influence the attitude of social studies pre-service teachers to cybercrime prevention. Therefore, it was recommended that the use of instructional strategies should be well articulated so as to bring about change in the attitude of the learners, gender of the learners should not be seen as factor affecting the attitude of learners towards learning. Hence, during teaching, teachers should give room for gender disparity among the learners and emphasis should be place on the computer literacy of learners. That is, learners should be encouraged to have knowledge of the use of computers in teaching and learning process.
Investigation of Pareto’s Rule On Wealth Distribution to Modulate the Condition Consigned to ‘Trivial Many’ Through Contemporary Commercial Pursuits. A Case of Accra-Tema Metropolis, Ghana
Authors: Kwadade-Cudjoe Francis
Published: September 2023

Wilfredo Pareto was an Italian sociologist, economist and a philosopher who propounded the theory for wealth distribution in the latter part of the 19th century; the theory was postulated by Juran in 1937 and popularized by Nugent in the 1st decade of the 21st century, on ‘vital few and trivial many’. Wilfredo Pareto held the view that wealth was unevenly distributed and that approximately 20% of the global population had 80% of the wealth, whilst 80% of the populace had only 20% of the wealth. This theory has survived many generations and is still given the prominence to the extent that most people, including entrepreneurs, have accepted the theory and live under its shadows. However, the researcher has carried out this study to give a ray of hope to the marginalized ‘trivial many’ in society, including entrepreneurs; that the ‘80/20’ rule by Wilfredo Pareto should not be a command to constrict people to their predicament, especially with the advent of technology. Rather, they should extricate themselves from this unfavourable position and be empowered to keep proper records of their businesses which should be supported with the best performance/management to enhance their economic status within the market they operate.

Authors: Gworgwor Z. A. , Edeh I. E., , Yusuf H. B , Soji W. M
Published: September 2023

The study was designed to study the effect of complex enzyme (Kingzyme®) on performance and carcass yield of broiler chickens fed red sorghum-based diets. Two hundred (200) chicks (day-old) of mixed sex was randomly allotted to five dietary treatments (T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5) supplemented with enzyme complex (Kingzyme®)  at the levels of 0.0g, 0.2g, 0.5g, 0.8g and 1.1g kg per Kg of feed respectively in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Each treatment was replicated four (4) times to contain ten (10) birds each. Feed and water were provided ad libitum accompanied with standard management procedures for eight weeks. At end of the experiments, eight (8) birds whose body weights are closest to the mean of the group was randomly selected from each treatment (two (2) per replicate) and was fasted overnight to reduce the gut contents and carcass contamination. The birds for each replicate was weighed to determine the live body weight, followed by slaughtering, bleeding, bled weight determination, scalding and wet plucking. The plucked weight was determined followed by evisceration, dressed weight and weighing of internal organs. The weight of the internal organs and length of small, large intestines and caecum was determined. The weights of the internal organ were expressed as the percentage of the dressed weight. Data were analyzed using Statitix Analytical Software, Version 10; and the treatment means were compared using Turkey HSD. There was no significant (P < 0.05) difference across the treatment groups for feed intake and growth performance at both starter and finisher phases respectively. Similarly, carcass characteristics showed no significant (P < 0.05) difference across the dietary treatments. Lungs, gizzard and proventriculus was significantly (P < 0.05) affected across the dietary treatments. Based on the result of the study, it was concluded that Red Sorghum-based diet supplemented with enzyme complex (Kingzyme®) do not have any significant effect on feed intake and growth performance of broiler chickens but can change some internal organs weights especially the lungs, gizzards and proventriculus.
The Role of the ESL Teacher in the Use of Modern Techniques on Teaching Deletion-A Case Study Ringim Educational Zone, Jigawa State, Nigeria
Authors: Nasiru Shehu
Published: September 2023

This research evaluated the role of the ESL teacher and the use of modern techniques on teaching deletion. Questionnaire and oral interview were the instruments that the researcher used to collect the data. The research findings showed that most of the students do not know how to pronounce some words correctly, that is, they have a problem with the silent words that have silent letters. The findings also revealed that some teachers do not pronounce the words correctly. It is concluded that the teachers transfer their inadequacy to the students and do not use appropriate techniques in teaching pronunciation especially words with silent letters. The researcher recommends that only teachers who are B.A. and B.A.Ed English graduates should teach the subject and they too, must use appropriate techniques when teaching pronunciation especially words with silent letters/sounds

Published: September 2023

Kenya, like many other countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, still has problems with poverty, inequality, health, education, and environmental concerns, all of which limit its capacity for full human progress. The aim of this study was to analyse the human development of Kenya using the HDI index. HDI is a composite measurement of human well-being that includes data on life expectancy, income, and education. This study specifically analyzed the trends in HDI of Kenya since 2012 to 2022 and compared it with other countries in East African Community. A multidimensional concept was investigated using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The research of human development was concentrated on Kenya and the countries of the East Africa Community, basing on secondary data from existing Governmental and Non-Governmental publications. The geometric mean of the normalised indices for life expectancy, GNI, and education makes up the HDI. The life expectancy at birth is used to evaluate the health dimension, while the mean number of years spent in school for persons 25 years and older and the anticipated number of years spent in school for young children are used to evaluate the education dimension. The measure of the standard of life is the gross national income per person. Kenya is a country with a medium level of human development, ranked 152nd out of 189 nations in 2022 with HDI of 0.598. A number of factors, including inequalities, influence the HID in Kenya. The results of this analysis highlight Kenya's accomplishments in terms of human development over the previous ten years. Kenya had the highest HDI score in East African Community, followed by Tanzania and Uganda. For the recommendation the policymakers and stakeholders can apply these findings to design targeted strategies and policies that address regional differences, promote gender equality, and further boost human development in Kenya and East African Community.

Authors: Akute Yewande Ifelola , Poblete Regidor , Elusoji Christiana I. , Borode Samuel Busuyi
Published: September 2023

Maternal and newborn health remains a critical challenge in Nigeria, with high maternal and neonatal mortality rates persisting in many regions. The coexistence of formal healthcare systems with traditional birth practices provides a unique opportunity for synergy between Skilled Birth Attendants (SBAs) and Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) to improve the quality of maternal and newborn care. This study explores the potential benefits of collaboration between SBAs and TBAs in Nigeria and investigates the barriers and facilitators to such cooperation. The findings highlight the complementary strengths of SBAs and TBAs. SBAs bring formal medical training, evidence-based practices, and access to medical resources, while TBAs possess cultural knowledge, community trust, and local birthing expertise. Through joint training and capacity building initiatives, TBAs can be equipped with updated medical knowledge, improving their ability to identify high-risk pregnancies and refer cases to skilled healthcare providers effectively. Effective referral systems play a pivotal role in ensuring timely access to emergency obstetric care. Challenges to collaboration include cultural and traditional beliefs, language barriers, limited access to resources, and legal and regulatory obstacles. Addressing these barriers requires a comprehensive approach that promotes cultural sensitivity, mutual respect, and inclusiveness within the healthcare system. The study concludes that harnessing the synergy between SBAs and TBAs can lead to a more integrated and effective maternal and newborn healthcare system in Nigeria. By leveraging the strengths of both groups and creating an enabling environment for collaboration, Nigeria can make significant strides towards reducing maternal and neonatal mortality, improving the quality of care, and achieving better health outcomes for mothers and newborns. Continued research and collaborative efforts are essential to capitalize on this synergy and drive positive change in maternal and newborn healthcare across the country.

Los bioplásticos se definen como aquellos materiales plásticos que han sido comprobados como biodegradables en el ambiente y que tienen una composición de materia orgánica (recursos agrícolas, forestales y animales), que se consideran naturales y renovables (Ballesteros, 2014). El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar las propiedades físicas y mecánicas de plásticos biodegradables elaborados utilizando una combinación de subproductos de arroz (Oryza sativa) y yuca (Manihot esculenta). Las variables analizadas fueron absorción de agua, estabilidad térmica, poder calorífico, donde se utilizó un diseño completamente al azar con 3 tratamientos y 3 repeticiones para un total de 9 unidades experimentales. Los rangos obtenidos en la absorción de agua fueron, en las muestras 80/20 (4.509% - 6.980%) en las muestras 70/30 (2.260% - 4.236%) y en las 60/40 (2.025% - 3.056). Para la estabilidad térmica se obtuvieron resultados entre 4.0%  de pérdida de masa en la evaluación de las películas plásticas al ser expuestas al rango de temperatura de 30Co - 130Co  con porcentajes de pérdida de masa por debajo de 6.0% en los tres tratamientos, mientras que en los siguientes rangos se va elevando este porcentaje de pérdida de masa hasta llegar al pico de degradación de las mismas el cual se da en el rango de temperatura de 280°C -410°C, en donde se obtuvieron resultados entre 48.0% a 55.0% en los tres tratamientos evaluados, finalmente se reducen estos valores al elevarse hasta la última temperatura expuesta que fue de 900 °C. En la absorción de agua de estas películas plásticas, se obtuvieron valores medios de 2.0% hasta 6.0% elevándose mientras se elevaba la concentración de harina de cáscara de yuca.  Se concluye que el material producido presentó características que lo hacen apto para aplicaciones prácticas como recubrimiento de papelería, las cuales emiten 10 veces menos calor que un plástico convencional. La combinación YA 60/40 tuvo mayor resistencia a degradarse térmicamente y también mostró mayor permeabilidad en comparación con las YA 80/20 y YA 70/30.

Los análisis demuestran mayor avance en el tema de sensibilidad cívica y ciudadanía en países como Australia, Reino Unido, y en menor medida en España y Latinoamérica. Finalmente, las conclusiones apuntan hacia la necesidad de crear condiciones y entornos de aprendizaje que favorezcan la ciudadanía a través de las nuevas tecnologías de información y comunicación, así como también resaltan las grandes potencialidades que tienen estas herramientas para el desarrollo de valores cívicos y ciudadanos. Además, el estudio demuestra la importancia de la generación, diseño e implementación de tecnologías y métodos que aborden las desigualdades existentes en el acceso y uso de internet por parte de los ciudadanos. Derivado de lo anterior, se genera un sustento metodológico para los principales tomadores de decisiones en el bienestar social con las innovaciones digitales.

The increase in cigarette excise rates will certainly have an impact on the shares of cigarette issuers and result in an increase in the selling price of cigarettes which will allow the company to experience financial distress. Cigarette companies need to analyze the company's financial condition, in which companies can predict opportunities for financial distress. Among them are using bankruptcy prediction models, one of which is zmijewski, altman z-score and ohlson.

Cet article vise à contribuer à la connaissance sur la gestion sans budget en répondant à la question : dans quelle mesure les managers sont-ils prêts à abandonner le budget ? La gestion sans budget est définie comme l’alignement de la finance et du contrôle sur la stratégie (Hope et Fraser 2003a ; Bogsnes 2008). Nous répondons à cette question par une ethnométhodologie menée chez Eramet et complétée par 14 entretiens auprès de contrôleurs. Nous tirons trois conclusions. Les contrôleurs de gestion ignorent qu’il existe des alternatives au processus et au contrôle budgétaires. Les entreprises sont favorables aux grands principes véhiculés par une gestion sans budget. Le budget est devenu une telle accoutumance organisationnelle que l’idée de l’abandonner effraie les contrôleurs de gestion.
La loi PACTE une menace pour la qualité de l’audit ? La perception des auditeurs légaux français
Authors: Bassin Claire
Published: September 2023

Adoptée au printemps 2019, la loi PACTE bouleverse le monde de l’audit légal : de nombreuses entités n’ont plus d’obligation d’être auditées, mais les CAC peuvent désormais conduire de nouvelles missions. Très hostiles à cette loi, certains CAC affirment qu’elle serait un danger pour la qualité de l’audit. Notre étude interroge cette affirmation. Nous montrons quels éléments de la loi PACTE menacent, selon les CAC, la qualité de l’audit et ses deux composantes : la compétence et l’indépendance des auditeurs. Nos résultats montrent que le rehaussement des seuils de nomination et la nouvelle mission Audit Légal des Petites Entreprises sont les principaux facteurs de risque pour l’indépendance des auditeurs et partant de la qualité de l’audit.
Monetary attribute of stablecoins: A theoretical and empirical test
Authors: Fan Meng , Dai Jinping
Published: September 2023

With the continuous expansion of their market size and scope of use, the monetary attribute of stablecoins has become a focal point. The identification of the monetary attribute of stablecoins is a prerequisite for their supervision. Based on the essence and macroeconomic effects of money, this paper analyzes the monetary attribute of stablecoins from theoretical and empirical perspectives. We find that in the traditional financial market, stablecoins are not widely accepted, and their increased supply competes with traditional financial assets. As new types of digital assets, they do not possess a monetary attribute. However, in the digital asset market, stablecoins are widely used. The increase in issuance pushes up asset prices and brings liquidity effects to the market. Therefore, stablecoins possess a monetary attribute in the digital asset market and play the role of "digital fiat currency". This private sector liquidity is not controlled by the government and tends to accumulate risk. Therefore, the government should clarify the legal attribute of stablecoins according to their monetary attribute, strengthen the supervision of stablecoin issuers and prevent the private sector from monopolizing the digital asset market transaction medium.
Research on performance evaluation of higher vocational education informatization based on data envelopment analysis
Authors: Ren Qiuhui , Wareewanich Thitinant
Published: September 2023

With the continuous improvement of educational informatization, incorporating the performance evaluation of educational informatization into the overall framework of higher vocational education reform and innovation promotes the objective and practical direction of performance evaluation. This facilitates the transition of higher vocational education from scale-oriented development to intensive development and provides strategic support for method improvement and conceptual renewal in educational informatization.

Based on this, we refer to the evaluation index system of information development level in colleges in Henan Province, Zhejiang Province and other regions. We use the entropy method to select performance evaluation indicators with a significant impact on higher vocational colleges. Combining the CCR and BCC models of the DEA method, the article evaluates the educational informatization performance of 82 higher vocational colleges in Henan Province. The informatization evaluation becomes more objective, improves the input-output ratio of informatization and provides directional guidance to avoid redundant construction.

There are 46 DEA-effective decision-making units and 36 non-DEA-effective decision-making units among higher vocational colleges in Henan Province. The input-output ratio of the 36 non-DEA-effective higher vocational colleges has yet to reach an appropriate proportion, and further adjustments of input-output resources are needed based on projection values.
Les guerriers vikings et leurs homologues irlandais : entre affrontements, alliances et recherche du profit (ixe-xe siècles)
Authors: Parmentier Jean-Louis
Published: September 2023

L’intensification des raids en Irlande à partir des années 830, suivie d’installations durables quelques décennies plus tard, amène les rois et l’aristocratie de l’île à devoir composer avec la présence des Scandinaves. Les comportements face à ces incursions sont divers : certains rois irlandais luttent sans relâche, tandis que d’autres optent pour la diplomatie ; par intérêt politique ou dans le cadre de faides, quelques chefs préfèrent s’adjoindre les services des guerriers vikings pour lutter contre des clans rivaux. Dans un territoire déchiré par les querelles, les Scandinaves savent s’accommoder de cette situation dans une logique de prédation, mais également dans le but de s’assurer des appuis locaux, par exemple pour le trafic de captifs. S’appuyant principalement sur un corpus reconstitué dénommé Chronique d’Irlande, cet article propose d’éclaircir la question des contacts et des relations entre les Irlandais et les vikings en insistant sur le règlement des conflits, soit par la violence, soit par la négociation.The intensification of raiding in Ireland from the 830s onwards, followed by lasting settlements a few decades later, led the island’s kings and aristocracy to have to deal with the presence of the Scandinavians. The response to these incursions varied: some Irish kings fought relentlessly, while others opted for diplomacy; for political reasons or in the context of feuds, some leaders preferred to enlist the services of Vikings warriors to fight against rival clans. In a territory torn by quarrels, the Scandinavians knew how to deal with this situation in a logic of predation, but also, for example, with the aim of securing local support for the traffic of captives. Based mainly on a reconstructed corpus known as the Chronicle of Ireland, this paper proposes to shed light on the contacts and relations between the Irish and the Vikings by insisting on the settlement of conflicts, either through violence or through negotiation.
