Stakeholder Engagement and Competitiveness of Dairy Cooperatives in Kenya
Authors: Waroinge Rahab , Kirima Kennedy , Bichage Methuselah
Published: November 2024

Kenya's cooperative movement has grown rapidly, fuelled by targeted community empowerment efforts to promote economic development by National and County Governments. The sector has over time become one of the key contributors to Kenya's GDP. Dairy cooperatives have become the backbone of rural communities, particularly in the country's milk-producing regions such as Kiambu County. The aim of the study was to examine stakeholder engagement in achieving competitive advantage in cooperatives in Kiambu County. The study adopted Stakeholder Theory. The study used a descriptive research methodology. The study used a questionnaire as a means of data collection. Stakeholder participation explained only 2.93% of the variation in strategy implementation (R²=0.0293), and when adjusted for other factors, it explained only 2.11% of the variation in strategy. Thus, from the analysis the research established that stakeholder engagement contributes passively to the competiveness of Dairy Co-operatives. The study thus recommended that cooperatives should ensure increased stakeholder engagement in their strategic planning and implementation, as it is a source of competitive advantage.
L’écologie queer et l’écologie du queer chez Jean Giono
Authors: Stamm Gina
Published: November 2024

L’importance du monde naturel chez Jean Giono est bien connue et commentée dans la littérature critique. Malheureusement, la conscience écologique de cet auteur semble être trop souvent une raison de plus qu’on le traite de conservateur, pastoraliste ou passéiste. Cette interprétation, cependant, ne peut se faire qu’en faisant abstraction de l’érotisme qui investit les images du monde non-humaine. Cet essai montre comment Giono dépeint un foisonnement de possibilités sexuelles et affectives avec et au sein de l’environnement naturel, résistant aux normes et prescriptions. Son écriture tombe alors sous la rubrique de ce qu’on appelle aujourd’hui « l’écologie queer », terme qui indique une « constellation interdisciplinaire de pratiques qui visent, de façon diverse, à bouleverser les articulations discursives et institutionnelles dominantes de la sexualité et la nature » (Sandilands). Giono refuse de confiner ses personnages à des rôles de genre traditionnels et il montre la vie affective et sexuelle des corps dont l’érotisme est traditionnellement refoulé ou refusé par la société (corps gros, handicapés, ou vieux). Il écrit des relations mutuelles et réciproques entre l’être humain et d’autres êtres vivants ou non, et même met en scène la bestialité non pas comme pratique pervers mais comme revanche de la nature sur les hommes qui l’exploitent. Enfin, il sépare l’érotisme de l’acte sexuel, libérant le plaisir au contact de l’environnement et donnant tout son sens au mot « biophilie. ».
Respons-Able Trees. On Permaculture Ethics of Responsibility in the Films of the Exhibition "Cambio" (2020)
Authors: Kronberger Alisa
Published: November 2024

The extensive research project Cambio (2020) by the Italian designer duo Formafantasma focuses on the tree, the forest in its function of securing the existence of humans, animals and other plants. The project uses various forms of critical representation and storytelling to explore the connections between exploitation, consumer culture and colonialism in the face of the industrial timber industry. The question is: What responsibility do we bear in relation to the treatment of trees and what response-ability do trees themselves have? Based on three essayistic short films and other objects from the Cambio exhibition, my contribution addresses these questions of responsibility and respons-ability with regard to the relationship between humans and trees. In the sense of Donna Haraway, the what and how of artistic representation and narration itself becomes a question of response-ability - i.e. the possibility of becoming responsible in responding. Here, with Haraway in mind, the ethically necessary perspective unfolds of not having to distinguish between a real world and a world of stories and narratives, but of being able to think material-semiotic worlds in a (responsible) situated way and allow them to emerge. This paper proposes response-ability as a conceptual and analytical rubric and as a guiding ethical practice for the new materialist-inspired endeavor to rethink human and non-human interdependency in relation to trees. I will intruduce the exhibition Cambio and three of its films as an exemplary site of narrative and representational modes that have the potential to sensitize us to those relations of interdependency.

Nanoarchitectonics with cetrimonium bromide on metal nanoparticles for linker-free detection of toxic metal ions and catalytic degradation of 4-nitrophenol
Authors: Kumar Akash , Rayavarapu Raja Gopal
Published: November 2024

Heavy metal ions and organic pollutants, such as 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), pose significant environmental and human health threats. Addressing these challenges necessitates using advanced nanoparticle-based systems capable of efficient detection and degradation. However, conventional approaches utilizing strong capping agents like cetrimonium bromide (CTAB) on nanoparticles lead to limitations due to the rigid nature of CTAB. This restricts its utility in heavy metal detection and 4-NP degradation, requiring additional surface modifications using linker molecules, thereby increasing process complexity and cost. To overcome these limitations, there is a critical need for the development of an easy-to-use, dual-functional, linker-free nanosystem capable of simultaneous detection of heavy metals and efficient degradation of 4-NP. For enabling linker-free/ligand-free detection of heavy metal ions and catalytic degradation of 4-NP, CTAB was engineered as a versatile capping agent on gold and silver nanoparticles. Various factors, including nanoparticle characteristics such as shape, size, metal composition, centrifugation, and NaOH amount, were investigated for their impact on the performance of CTAB-capped nanoparticles in heavy metal detection and 4-NP degradation. CTAB-Au nanospheres demonstrated limited heavy metal ion detection capability but exhibited remarkable efficiency in degrading 94.37% of 4-NP within 1 min. In contrast, silver nanospheres effectively detected Hg2+, Cu2+, and Fe3+ at concentrations as low as 1 ppm and degraded 90.78% of 4-NP within 30 min. Moreover, anisotropic gold nanorods (CTAB-AuNR1 and CTAB-AuNR2) showed promising sensing capabilities towards Cu2+, Cr3+, and Hg2+ at 0.5 OD, while efficiently degrading 4-NP within 5 min at 1 OD. This study emphasizes the importance of tailoring parameters of CTAB-capped nanoparticles for specific sensing and catalytic applications, offering potential solutions for environmental remediation and human health protection.

This research examines the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning assessment paradigm in the Education Unit Level Curriculum (KTSP) and the Merdeka Curriculum at the Junior High School (SMP) level. The main purpose of this assessment is to measure the achievement of learning objectives, assess the effectiveness of teaching, and evaluate the suitability between the learning approach and the curriculum used. The move from the KTSP Curriculum to the Independent Curriculum often creates challenges, especially for schools that have not yet gone through the 2013 Curriculum (K-13). The KTSP curriculum uses traditional assessment methods such as written exams and formative tests, while the Merdeka Curriculum emphasizes a holistic approach that includes cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. This research identified three main aspects that were evaluated: achievement of learning objectives, teaching effectiveness, and suitability of learning approaches to the curriculum. The assessment instruments used include written tests, class observations, questionnaires, and student portfolios. The assessment stages include planning, implementation, data analysis, decision making, feedback, follow-up, and ongoing monitoring and evaluation. Through a comprehensive and continuous assessment approach, it is hoped that the quality of PAI learning in junior high schools can be improved in line with the demands of the times and students' needs.
