Authors: Donadze G.  , Alekseeva M.
Published: June 2023

Despite the development of medicine, oncology remains a big problem today. In general, both in the field of medicine and in the world, oncology completely changes human life. It affects the physiological process and the psyche. The life of cancer patients in remission is undergoing great changes. Cancer changes the system of ideas of person. In general, basic beliefs represent cognitive schemas of a person, which are established throughout whole life and determine a person’s ideas about himself and about the external world. One or another psychotrauma, including life-threatening phenomena, often changes beliefs. Based on this, the purpose of the study is to determine what are the basic beliefs of female patient in remission. Quantitative and qualitative research methods were used to study this issue. Janof-Bulman’s questionnaire “Scale of basic beliefs” is a method of quantitative research, which establishes what is a person’s idea about the world, well-being and ingenuity. In addition, the data of the qualitative research method were used and processed, in particular, those obtained as a result of in-depth interviews, whose task is to determine what role the change in basic beliefs played for a person, who it affected the quality of his life and relationships. The results of questionnaire revealed that the basic beliefs of cancer patient in remission don’t differ in any way from the same beliefs of women who didn’t have oncology. The results of the interview revealed that the quality of life if cancer patient has changed in a positive direction. They noted that their attitude to the world, to themselves and relationships has improved.
The Gendered Necropolitics of Migration Control in a French Postcolonial Periphery
Authors: Sahraoui Nina
Published: June 2023

This article examines the postcolonial politics of migration control in Mayotte, an overseas French department, and argues that these bear necropolitical consequences. It sheds light on the gendered dimension of this necropolitical power by focusing on the life and border-crossing experiences of undocumented Comorian women. Entrenched barriers to the regularization of their administrative status endanger their access to healthcare and degrade the conditions for life long-term. The constant risk of arrest and massive forced removals furthermore engender dangerous border crossings, each instance exposing the passengers to the risk of death. The article also foregrounds that these necropolitics are exacerbated as a result of the postcolonial conundrum in which Mahoran elites find themselves, with the increasing support of Black and Muslim elites for the French far-right political party.
Letter from the Editors
Authors: Hancock II Joseph Henry , Karaminas Vicki
Published: June 2023

It has only been in the last twenty years that men's fashion has gained attention as a discreet disciplinary area of study across the arts and humanities. Up until as late as 1994, when fashion studies entered the academy, information about men's fashion was not included in studies of masculinities; if anything, a cursory mention was made in an occasional book chapter or academic article. This was because fashion was considered frivolous and narcissistic, and not worthy of any serious scholarly attention, unless you were a woman or queer. Fashion was regulated to the domain of the feminine and the body, as opposed to art and architecture, which were deemed masculine and placed in the sphere of the mind and the psyche. Up until the mid-eighteenth century, men's clothing was made of plush fabrics, constructed silhouettes, and refined forms that signaled wealth and aristocratic status. Influenced by the Enlightenment ideas of reason and rationality, men's clothing became more utilitarian and functional, abandoning wigs, stockings, and high heels in favor of garments such as the suit. Exaggerated forms were left to women's fashion, as men relinquished their claim to adornment and beauty and fashion became associated with femininity and frivolity. It was, as John Flügel claimed, the Great Male Renunciation that was to burden masculinity for the next four hundred years.
The Metrosexual's New Clothes
Authors: Edwards Tim
Published: June 2023

In analyzing the metrosexual and drawing on the work of Mark Simpson, this article argues that metrosexuality relates to the dressed, not naked, body. It also highlights the history and variations in form and expression of the metrosexual from the post-war period to the present day, illustrating how the metrosexual is a shifting kaleidoscope of relations between masculinity and sexuality, the body and clothing. Particular attention is given to the suit as the dominant form of modern, western men's dress and as a system of bodily adornment that has shifted over time. Underpinning this is a more unilinear development of the mediatization, commodification, feminization, and infantilization of fashionable masculinity. In sum, it is argued that furthering the understanding of the metrosexual and his relationship to masculinity and sexuality requires greater attention to men's clothes, which was otherwise rendered invisible in much of the preceding analysis.
MAIN TRENDS IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION DEVELOPMENT IN THE DYNAMICS OF MODERN INFORMATION-TECHNOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL-POLITICAL CHANGES
Authors:   State University of Telecommunications, Novak-Kalyayeva L.
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to the definition of the main trends in the development of public administration in the dynamics of those informationtechnological and socio-political changes that took place at the turn of the 20th–21st centuries in the vast majority of European countries, as well as in Ukraine. Based on the methodology of public administration, the results of the reassessment of the principles and theoretical concepts characteristic of the last century are summarized, which led to the search for a new universal approach to reform in the field of public administration in an interdisciplinary discourse. Ambiguous positions of researchers regarding the capacity of the modern state as a guarantor of security, productivity and sustainability of society are emphasized. It is proven that, thanks to the involvement of the public in the development and implementation of policies, the improvement of the efficiency of public administration, the optimization of the terms and quality of making qualified management decisions demonstrate an important positive trend in the development of public administration both in Ukraine and in many European countries. At the same time, the formation of a tendency towards populism, the erosion of the foundations of democracy and trust in the authorities was emphasized. The ability of management systems to self-regulate and change their internal structure in conditions of aggressive external influences or a critical state is considered in close connection with the practices of social interaction and social partnership. The support of the people and the involvement of citizens in the activities of political institutions ensures a higher level of social legitimation of the authorities and a higher level of the ability of democratic processes to influence the effectiveness of governing bodies. Determining the strengths and weaknesses of deliberative democracy should be considered as a further search for opportunities for decision-making based on the consensus of individual positions in political and management processes. In the context of deliberative democracy approaches, social partnership is defined as a process that strengthens the democratic legitimacy of the political system in general, and the public administration system in particular. Mastering modern communication technologies, professional training of public servants and social interaction can level negative trends and strengthen positive ones in favor of improving the quality of management activities and society's life in general.
DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP SKILLS OF FUTURE CIVIL SERVANTS
Authors:   State University of Telecommunications, Vovk S.
Published: June 2023

The article provides a generalized analysis of the formation of digital citizenship skills in future civil servants in two educational programs in Public Administration and Management, at two levels: the first (bachelor’s) and the second (master’s). The study was conducted in 2020–2022 at Donetsk National Medical University and the State University of Telecommunications. The relevance of the scientific research was due to the recommendations of the United Nations (UN) and its agencies, which adopted several recommendations on how to approach the development of human activity sustainably. The document contains seventeen sustainable development goals. In a separate part, goal 4.7 is devoted to the requirements for the formation of digital knowledge and skills necessary to promote sustainable development. Some components of teaching modern digital citizens about sustainability, equity, and social activism, commitment, and political participation within the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030 Agenda are analyzed. It has been determined that among the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals, there is an educational goal that emphasizes the formation of digital citizenship skills, especially at the level of the civil service. However, the study showed a lack of consistency in the practice of teaching active and critical digital citizenship among university students. For this purpose, a quasiexperimental method was used to learn about the behavior of future civil servants through a seminar focused on the SDGs and observation of the final level of skills development. It is proved that the educational strategies of higher education institutions and educational programs should include disciplines and/or components based on content based on the strategy of digital activism or cyberactivism. This will affect the professional training of future civil servants, the formation of their personality and professional skills as digital citizens in a digital state.

Authors: Coomassie Jalila Ibrahim , Babalaji Ndanusa Dr. Ahmed
Published: June 2023

Background:Globally, criminal activities have significantly increased over the years, which makes the need for a reliable and insightful analytical approach increasingly vital to take proactive measures. Specifically, Abuja is one of the fastest-growing cities in sub-Saharan Africa. The city is however constrained by the current approaches in crime analysis toward proactive decision-making. Thus, presenting an ardent need for this research to provide safety and security to the civilian population, especially those within the crime-prone area(s). Objective:Objective of this research is to develop a framework for crime analysis by identifying the regional frequency of the crimes committed in some selected parts of Abuja, FCT. Method:This research with the aid of the Natural Language Processing approach, crime reports from 2015 to 2021 of Wuse, Garki, Gwagwalada, Nyanya, Maitama and Utako comprising murder, kidnapping, theft, juvenile delinquency and homicidal acts established by the Nigerian Police Command was used toextract textual data therefrom. Using Orange data mining, which is a python-based environment; the reports were transformed to and pre-processed. Thereafter, crimes were mapped regionally using a visually appealing visualization technique known as Word cloud. Results:This essentially, clustered crimes based on their frequencies and regionally. This approach revealed critical details required proffering insights towards decision-making required for crime mitigation. In addition, to ascertain the relationship between crime hotspots the police divisional stations and slum settlement in the study area. Conclusion:The higher education attainment will be the cure for criminal activities in Nigeria. Government should also create more jobs because high unemployment rates will compel people to commit crimes and this will increase crime rate in Nigeria. Lastly, there should be high budgetary provision towards poverty alleviation programme because higher poverty may lead to higher crimes rate due to depression or mental illness associated with being poor and this will decrease the rate of return of legal activities and more likely to increase return of illegal activities.

Authors: William-Porbeni D  , Ogbereyo S  , Gumus R.H
Published: June 2023

Concrete infrastructures that make up the sewer system exposed to sewer waste waters are often subjected to microbial corrosion. The biogenic sulfuric acid produced by the activity of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria A.thiooxidans attacks concrete in sewers leading to loss of concrete mass and deterioration.The aim of this study was to control concrete biodegradation using plant extracts of Alchornea Cordifolia. Concrete samples were corroded for 26 months in real sewer wastewater conditions. The influence of biogenic sulfuric acid on the biocorrosion of concrete samples was determined in terms of weight loss, pH, sulfate concentration variation, chemical composition changes, and formation of corrosion by-products. Recorded corrosion rates before coating were between 0.071996mpy –1.168546mpy. Changes in sample morphology, ettringite and gypsum formed were observed by X-ray diffraction and SEM methods with corrosion progression.Phytochemicals analysis of extracts samples confirmed the presence of tannins, saponins, flavonoids, and terpenoids produced in plant tissues. GC-MS analysis of the ethanolic extracts identified 26 compounds.The most dominant being Eugenol.Biocorrosion control determined the effects of extracts on concrete corrosion in sewer waters. A marked decline in the rates of corrosion with each extract's coating was recorded for extracts coated concretes (0.002589mpy-0.003256mpy). An increase in inhibition efficiency with an increase in extract concentration was observed and was in the range of50% A.Cordifolia extracts gave the highest inhibitor efficiency. X-ray diffractive analysis and scanning electron microscopy showed morphological variations in concrete before and after coating. Results of ANOVA showed inhibitor concentration as having the most significant effect on the extracts' corrosion inhibition

In Indian Agriculture, Generally tractors or cultivator machines are commonly used for ploughing. Before this method farmers uses the traditional method this is time consuming and hardworking and costly. Despite the massive mechanization of agriculture in some regions of the nation, the majority of agricultural activities in the country's bigger areas are carried out by hand utilizing rudimentary and traditional equipment and implements such as a wooden plough sickle, and so on. This low-cost portable battery-powered electric power tiller machine is a one-stop contemporary solution to improve traditional farming practices by reducing human labor at a very cheap cost through the use of a motorized tilling mechanism. Because design and manufacture are the keysof engineering, mechanical engineering education requires real design and production. Using a clever portable design, the electric power tiller helps minimize the time and expense required in tilling, consequently enhancing agricultural output and efficiency

Published: June 2023

The article presents the results of scientific research on the negative impact of fixed denture structures on the tissues of the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract in patients with chronic gastritis.

The relevance of the work lies in the fact that orthopedic treatment not only eliminates aesthetic defects, restores the impaired function of the dentoalveolar system, but also has a significant preventive value for the prevention of gastrointestinal diseases.

The aim of our research was to study the effect of fixed dentures made of different structural materials on the tissues of the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract in chronic gastritis.

Objects and methods of the study. We examined patients of the gastroenterological department who were inpatients with chronic gastritis and used fixed dentures.

The examination took into account complaints of burning sensation, itching, redness of the gingival mucosa, gingival swelling, increased salivation or dryness in the oral cavity, heightened perception of acidity and the presence of microcurrents in the oral cavity; type of denture and visually determined the material from which it is made; compliance of the denture with clinical and technological requirements, the period of its use, diagnosis of the underlying disease for which the patient is undergoing inpatient treatment.

Study results and conclusions. According to the results of the study, it was found that out of 86 patients examined, 44 patients (51.16%) of both groups used soldered bridges, 42 (48.84%) full-cast bridges. Pathological manifestations of the negative effects of soldered dentures in the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract were detected in 41 of 44 patients, which is 47.7% of the total number of patients examined. Out of 42 patients (48.84%) in both groups, 11 (12.8%) had full-cast bridges.

Soldered bridges cause 35% more complications in the oral cavity and digestive system than full-cast dentures. Negative manifestations and exacerbation of somatic pathology when using fixed dentures are observed 3 times more often in patients with hyperacid gastritis.

“KRAPIVA” (NETTLE) JOURNAL: AN INDEPENDENT CREATIVE COMMUNITY OF NOVICE AUTHORS
Authors:   Ural State Pedagogical University (USPU), Barkovskaya Nina
Published: June 2023

The characteristic of the children’s literary and journalistic periodical “Krapiva” (Nettle) is offered. The journal has been published in Yekaterinburg since 2017 at the Sverdlovsk Regional Library for Children and Youth named after Vladislav P. Krapivin, curated by the young playwright Anna Baturina. The periodicity of issues is once a year; to date, six issues of the journal have been published. The editorial board consists of children, they also select texts for publication, prepare the original layout of the issue and its design (drawings, photographs). An analysis of editorial statements in the journal and interviews with the curator allow us to conclude that the publication is unique: the authors are absolutely free in their work; the tactic and position of the curators are extremely democratic. From the very beginning, “Krapiva” (Nettle) declared itself not only as a journal, but, above all, as a platform for weekly communication, discussion of the problems that concern today’s teenagers. At community meetings, new works of participants are discussed, meetings with writers are held, questions of the theory and poetics of literature are studied. The choice of the name (apart from the reference to Krapivin, whose name the library bears) is motivated by the desire of aspiring authors to share traumatic experiences like stinging nettles. The epigraph to the magazine is the words of one of the participants: “Nettle is the pain of childhood”. The article characterizes the headings of the journal, identifies the dominant themes, and makes observations on the genre composition of the published works.
VOICES OF JAPANESE CHILDREN IN SOVIET CHILDREN’S PERIODICALS
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Gromova Mariya
Published: June 2023

The article reviews the history of publications in the Soviet children’s periodicals (Pionerskaya Pravda (“Pioneer Truth”), Pioneer (“Pioneer”), Koster (“Bonfire”), etc.) of drawings, letters and artistic texts created by Japanese children. Mention is made of articles by Japanese specialists in children’s art education published in the journal Detskaya literatura (“Children’s Literature”). The main body of publications is identified; letters, stories and poems are cited, drawings and engravings are described. The materials are covered in chronological order and considered in the context of Soviet-Japanese relations. Their themes are compared with the image of Japan that was relevant in the USSR in the corresponding period. The material makes it possible to trace how the ideological factor influenced the formation of the image of Japan in Soviet periodicals for children. During Thaw, the letters contain elements of the image of Japan that are inherent in the official Soviet Cold War discourse: social problems after World War II, remilitarization, US military aggression, the tragedy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, anti-nuclear and anti-American struggle, Japanese national identity. Since the 1970s, these topics have disappeared from the letters of Japanese children, replaced by a benevolent interest in the USSR, almost devoid of an ideological component.
CHILDREN’S ADAPTATIONS OF THE CHARLES DICKENS NOVEL “DAVID COPPERFIELD” IN RUSSIAN
Authors:   National Research University “Higher School of Economics”, Egorova Anastasiia
Published: June 2023

The article describes Russian children’s adaptations of the Charles Dickens novel “David Copperfield”. The purpose of this paper is to find out whether the approach to its translation changed at different historical periods — during the Czarist-era, under the Soviet government and in contemporary Russia. In order to achieve this goal, we have analyzed those “David Copperfield” translations into Russian addressed to the younger audience that are accessible nowadays. The text has been envisaged from the translation studies, as well as philological and culture studies point of view. The study has shown that some Czarist-era translators finished the story with the end of David Copperfield’s childhood misfortunes, others attempted to make a brief account of the novel. In Soviet Union more complete translations were published, accompanied by a larger number of explanatory foot-notes and more commentary. Since the year 2000 there has been no attempt to make a new adaptation of the novel, there have only been published some translations of English adaptations and a revised edition of an older translation. What all the translations have in common is the omission of regional accents and other speech characteristics of Dickens’s characters. None of this seems to be related to the political history of the country, it’s rather due to translation ethics evolution.
LYCEUM STUDENTS’ LITERARY WORKS IN THE ALMANAC OTDYKH (“LEISURE”)
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (The Pushkin House) of Russian Academy of Sciences, Lemeshev Konstantin
Published: June 2023

The introductory note to the publication contains the description of a literary almanac Otdykh (“Leisure”), the only known copy of which is now kept in the National Library of Russia (Saint-Petersburg), a brief overview of its contents (all written by pupils of the Imperial Alexander Lyceum) and brief biographical information about the “editor-publisher” who signed as “N. Pushkin”. Its dating (the almanac was composed in the end of the 1886th — the beginning of the 1887th) is based on information found in one of the articles. Having included N. Pushkin in the Predvaritel’nyy spisok russkikh pisateley i uchenykh (“Preliminary List of Russian Writers and Scholars”), Semjon Vengerov supplied the reference dedicated to him with a remark- question: “a descendant of A. S. Pushkin?” A study of the materials stored in the Central State Historical Archive of St. Petersburg leads to a negative answer to this question. The texts in the almanac itself are of varied composition: fiction prose (short stories), lyrical poems, a note on the Lyceum theatre and an editorial Posleslovie (“Afterword”). The latter two texts contain interesting details relating to the everyday history of the Lyceum. The literary texts are imitative, which is common in children’s literature. At the same time, besides poetic (mostly romantic) stamps and “naive narrative”, the works of young authors contain some creative successes, indicating the presence of talent and the desire to develop it.

Women Development and Empowerment in South African Polity
Authors: Moraka Shopola Arthur , Malapane Mamonare , Nokele Kenneth
Published: June 2023

The question of women’s development and empowerment is not new in the world. As such, there has been an increasing awareness of the matter, especially that development has had a differential impact on power relations in society, usually to the disadvantage of women. For countless times, the world has had many pro–women empowerment measures and proclamations made by various governments and continental and domestic agencies, but women continue to be overlooked in crucial spheres of life such as politics, law, education, and training, as well as working environments. This paper used a desktop review method to first, identify the underlying factors behind power differentials between men and women in leadership and society at large, and second, examine how such factors compound gender inequality in South African polity. The discussion shows that South Africa’s and the African continent’s experience with women's empowerment and recognition in the political landscape still exhibits gender disproportions with which the compounding factors cannot be differentiated. These include, inter alia, the inconsistent application of a political will to keep women in leadership spaces and the existence of patriarchal systems embedded in many African cultural practises. The paper concluded by strongly arguing that any development that is based on patriarchy is anti–development and must be rejected. Any efforts made to elevate women in to positions of power would mean an end to the old question of gender inequality, but this requires serious, deliberate policy interventions and implementation.
Smart Village and Smart City Linkages through Cultural Planning in South Africa: A Critical Reflection
Authors: Sirayi Mzo
Published: June 2023

A growing amount of academic research has focused its attention on the debate around the viability and potential mutual benefits emanating from rural-urban linkages through cultural planning in the development of smart cities. This paper interrogates the linkages and cultural planning in the proposed smart city in Lanseria, north of Johannesburg, in South Africa. The main research questions for the paper are: (1) How did the Greater Lanseria Master Plan (GLMP) in South Africa fail to integrate culture into its planning? (2) How did communities participate in the development of the plan (3) How are smart village and smart city linkages demonstrated in the GMLP? Lastly, (4) What are the benefits of the integration of cultural planning with community participation in the proposed smart village and smart city linkages? A synthetic literature-based critical analysis of planning documents was conducted to critique, reflect, and evaluate the plan. Findings indicate that cultural planning and community development approaches are missing from the master plan. The paper recommends that cultural planning and co-creation community development approaches should influence the smart village–smart city linkages at the very inception of the GMLP in order to obtain sustainable development.
Complexities in Policy Implementation during the COVID-19 Pandemic in South Africa
Authors: Mkhize N. , Thusi X.
Published: June 2023

Worldwide, countries were forced to redirect their resources, national efforts, and attention to alleviating the widespread of the coronavirus. Efforts such as national lockdowns, restrictions on certain goods and services, and the prohibition of public or social gatherings have been among the common measures that most governments have implemented in attempts to deal with this novel disease. Actions by the South African government have been no exception to these measures, and to some extent, the implementation of government actions to curb the spread of the coronavirus has been either politically, religiously, or even economically criticised. This is because the COVID-19 pandemic presents policy implementation with several challenges. This is largely because this was associated with a change in the way that government plans, acts, and responds to societal needs. It is for this reason that this study seeks to explore challenges in the implementation of responses aimed at curbing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa. The study adopts a qualitative secondary research approach. The research looks at policies in South Africa for dealing with the COVID-19 epidemic. Data is gathered from literature studies in scholarly publications, the internet and print media, government records, and survey findings from a variety of institutions. A descriptive qualitative analysis technique is adopted for the purposes of analysis. The current article adopts an integrated analytical framework to present and discuss the findings on policy implementation complexities during the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa. The analytical framework is an integration of the 7-C protocols for policy implementation with the WHO’s guidelines for the government to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The findings of this study revealed that the government’s communication lacked an authoritative voice on the ground; despite the “family meetings” that President Ramaphosa used to address and update the general public on developments about COVID-19. In addition, the study found that the number of measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 was limited, and to some extent, there has been no clear tool to evaluate their impact.

Authors: Liana Pamela
Published: June 2023

The purpose of this study was to assess the relevance of entrepreneurial education and students’ entrepreneurial intentions at the Open University of Tanzania (OUT). Despite the fact that entrepreneurship education has been given much attention recently, the question remains as to how it has been of help to students at OUT towards self-employment and business venture creation. The study employed theory of planned behavior by Ajzen and theory of entrepreneurial intent by Shapero and Sokol. A mixed method approach was employed using linear regression and thematic analysis. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to undergraduate students during face-to-face sessions and during preparation for annual exams in their regional centers. The qualitative data were collected using focus group discussions. Findings revealed a positive relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intentions. The implication is that entrepreneurship education at OUT confirms the need to incorporate entrepreneurship course to all programmes offered at the university and as a suggestion to entire education system in the country.
Critical History of Entrepreneurship in Nigeria
Authors: Raimi Lukman , Olaide Raimi Basirat
Published: June 2023

Entrepreneurship is a slippery concept that has been used and abused for various purposes. This article summarizes the basics of entrepreneurship and its historical development to demystify misconceptions about this important field of knowledge and practice in Nigeria. Understanding the history of entrepreneurship extends to highlighting the entrepreneurial achievements of three ethnic groups in Nigeria. Seven (7) theories of entrepreneurship that provide logical explanations for why and how individuals in different contexts become entrepreneurs (with or without opportunities) are discussed to support professional learning and academic entrepreneurship. Ultimately, when the strengths of traditional entrepreneurship are combined with modern entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship in Nigeria can be reinvigorated to improve the country's ability to create wealth, create jobs, redistribute income, reduce poverty, and improve the country's gross domestic product for maximum effect. This will be possible if all stakeholders provide the necessary institutional support to the three ethnic groups and others to accelerate the promotion of entrepreneurship in Nigeria, particularly in the areas of agriculture, livestock, retail, and services.
Extrinsic Motivation toward Entrepreneurs’ Intention to Adopt Crowdfunding: The Case of Kiva Lending Crowdfunding
Authors: Ndumbaro Felista , Mofulu George , Pascal Ndaki Daudi
Published: June 2023

The adoption of crowdfunding among entrepreneurs has increased recently, and several factors are believed to contribute to this increase. Surprisingly, extrinsic motivating factors' effect on this increased crowdfunding adoption trend is inadequately addressed. The study investigates the effect of extrinsic motivators on entrepreneurs' intention to adopt crowdfunding in Tanzania. It applies Partial Least Squares-based Structural Equation Modelling to examine the effect of the need for achievement, social networking, and the desire for financial power on entrepreneurs' intention to adopt crowdfunding. Using a sample of 241 entrepreneurs operating in Tanzania, the results indicate that the need for achievement and the desire for financial power influence entrepreneurs' crowdfunding intention. We observe no effect of the need for social networking on entrepreneurs' crowdfunding intention. These results imply that an entrepreneur's intention to borrow through a crowdfunding platform aligns more with the need for achievement and the desire for financial power rather than the need for social networking.
