INFLUENCE OF DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS, ECONOMIC FACTORS, SOCIAL-CULTURAL FACTORS AND GEOGRAPHIC FACTORS ON DEMAND FOR DOMESTIC TOURISM IN KENYA.A CRITICAL LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Manyanja JJohn
Published: October 2021

Purpose: Global Tourism destinations provide different products which satisfy tourists with different interests, needs and wants. The general objective of the study was to establish the role of forest diversification in promoting tourism.

Methodology: The paper used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes and to extract knowledge gaps.

Findings: The study concluded that the accessibility of a tourist attraction is vital in determining the number of people that visit that attraction. Accessible destinations receive more tourists than inaccessible ones. Such destinations like the mountain tops may require advanced skills and equipment which may limit many would-be tourists from accessing them. Other destinations like parks where there are passable roads are visited more frequently and by a large number of people. This also applies to the topography of the land where extremely rugged terrains may not favour frequent visits by the local people. Proximity of an attraction site from the local market influences the number of domestic tourists in an area where attraction sites near settlements are more visited than those far from the settlements. This can be attributed to the less costs involved in visiting near destinations compared to the far ones. Finally, areas with favourable weather conditions are more frequented by local tourists than sites with extreme weather conditions such as very cold or very hot conditions. Climate may also contribute to seasonality of domestic tourism where there are more tourists during some weather conditions and fewer tourists during other weather conditions

Recommendations: The study recommends that awareness about the existence of various tourists' attractions in an area is a key element in its promotion as a tourist destination, The players in the tourism industry should therefore," create awareness among the local people about the existing attractions to create the demand for them. Further, tourism education would be important in promotion of domestic tourism where it is offered in schools and colleges as well retraining of the players in the industry through seminars and workshops. Emphasis on the need for the participation of the local people in the tourism activities would also be vital in promoting domestic tourism.

Study on Dry Sliding Wear Characteristics by Taguchi Analysis of Al-Mg-Si-Cu-SiC Composite Prepared by Powder Metallurgy Method
Authors: Behera Rajesh Kumar , Samal Birajendu Prasad , Khatua Ajit Kumar , Panigrahi Sarat Chandra
Published: October 2021

There is a growing attention among researchers to the production of new composites with low-density and low-cost processes. Aluminum based metal-matrix composites (AMMC) offer solutions for new product development. In this paper, a newly developed Al-Mg-Si-Cu-SiC composite was manufactured by powder-metallurgy, and the wear mechanism of aluminum composite materials was carried out using the pin-on-disk method. The purpose of the experimental plan was to correlate the factors that influenced the wear operations in order to execute them with a minimal rate of wear and co-efficient of friction (COF). The experiment was based on the Taguchi design with OA (orthogonal arrays) to correspond to the effects of load applied, sliding speed, and distance. The design features are distinctive and integral attributes of the method, affecting and determining the wear characteristics of composites.The predictive models developed for various machining performance characteristics employing response surface methodology are effective in terms of adequate, statistically significant, and probabilistically validate because of their higher R2-values, P-values less than 0.05 and larger AD-test p-values. The data generated for the Al-Mg-Si-Cu-SiC AMMC will be useful for the industry.
HIGHLIGHTS

Preparation of AMMC through powder metallurgy method
The WR decreases with the rise in wt% of SiC reinforced particles
Taguchi orthogonal design model is best suited to examine dry sliding wear characteristics of an Al-0.5Si-0.5Mg-2.5Cu-10SiC composite
Using the Taguchi-optimization method, it is more expedient to obtain the minimum WR of the composites

Paradigm Shift from 1G to 5G Technology: A Comparative Study
Authors: Kamble Mr. Sameer , Wani Ms. Shruti
Published: October 2021

Now-a-day technology is evolving on a large scale. Primarily when the technology of mobile phones came into existence, a wireless technology came into being. This was the 1G technology that was trending. Further as the need for technology started increasing, 1G(first generation) technology got evolved to 2G(second generation), later on 3G,4G as per the need and now currently to 5G technology which makes use of lifii.e light fidelity which uses light as a source of transmitting data from source to destination. Mobile wireless technology is growing from one generation to other in terms of data rate, bandwidth, internet services, and with many more factors. This paper contains the information about how the transition took place from 1G to 5G network over time. Also the paper contains the reasons of why this transition took place, the importance of each generation and a few use cases of those generations.

Acculturation and Its Implications for the Academic Achievement and Subjective Well-Being of East Asian International Students
Authors: Aquino Jeremy Andrew C.
Published: October 2021

The U.S. higher education system hosts a wide range of international students with the majority from East Asian countries. East Asian international students may have particular difficulty with acculturating into a novel environment given their predominant interdependent self-construal, which contrasts with the largely independent cultural imperative of the West. The present study investigates the potential associations between international students’ acculturation, self-construal (SC), and their academic and psychological adjustment (e.g., achievement goals, academic achievement, subjective well-being) to shed light on how East Asian international students can best adapt to a new culture. Participants included a total of 48 East Asian international students (25 male, 23 female; age range: 18 to 23). Results from a series of correlation analyses indicated that there were no significant correlations between acculturation strategy and self-construal. However, there was a significant correlation between performance-avoidance goals and GPA. Additionally, the separation strategy was negatively associated with negative affect and positively associated with life satisfaction, and the marginalization strategy was positively associated with negative affect and negatively associated with life satisfaction. The findings suggest that acculturation strategy is not directly linked to academic achievement; instead, it has a more prominent influence on well-being among East Asian international students. Further longitudinal research may provide a more comprehensive understanding of the association between acculturation and achievement goals in this unique student population.
Entrenchment or Retrenchment: The Political Economy of Mortgage Debt Subsidies in the United States and Germany
Authors: Reisenbichler Alexander
Published: October 2021

Why do mortgage subsidies vary across countries? Until the 2000s, the U.S. and Germany provided large-scale subsidies for homeownership. Yet, their paths diverged when they faced deep economic crises at that time. While the U.S. doubled down on government support by quasi-nationalizing
its mortgage market, Germany retrenched homeowner subsidies. This article argues that growth regimes shape coalitional logics that explain these contrasting outcomes. In the U.S. demand-led regime, where housing is key to growth, a bipartisan coalition entrenched mortgage subsidies to stimulate
household credit and consumption. Germany's export-led regime, where housing is less central to growth, produced a broad-based coalition that retrenched homeowner subsidies to boost competitiveness. Detailed case studies contrast the quasi-nationalization of U.S. government-sponsored enterprises
(GSEs) with the retrenchment of the German "homeowner subsidy" (Eigenheimzulage).

Published: October 2021

Advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) provide organization opportunities for access to information and enable new work arrangements that were previously not possible. However, ICT have also brought about increasingly complicated ways of doing business in the workplace with its attendant physical and emotional stress on workers which resulted in higher levels of turnover and absenteeism, higher cost of retraining staff and negative effect on productivity. The main focus of this paper therefore, is to examine the prevalence of ergonomic hazards and associated techno-stress among the academic and non-academic staff and also to ascertain the effect of techno-stress on the performance of individual university employee. Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria was used as a case study. Cross sectional survey design using questionnaire to collect primary data to assess the degree of ergonomic hazards experienced by the staff, the relationship between ergonomic hazard and techo-stress as well as the impact of techno-stress on their productivity was adopted as the methodology for this study. Descriptive and inferential statistics were then used to analyse data. Findings revealed that university staff are suffering from ergonomic hazards; quite a number of them lack knowledge of health problem and stress associated with ICT usage; and that there is positive relationship between ergonomic hazards and techno-stress; and finally techno-stress have negative consequences on individual worker’s performance.
STRATEGY, STRUCTURE, AND FAMILY FIRM PERFORMANCE: THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE RESOURCE-BASED VIEW AND THE CONTINGENCY APPROACH
Authors: Hamed Smirat Issa Mahmoud , Mohd Shariff Mohd Noor
Published: October 2021

Researches have focused the relationship between strategy and structure for a long time based on contingency theory. This paper provides an alternative analysis for organizational design theory, based on the RBV, which makes it possible to reframe the relationships between strategy, and structure by analyzing the organizational structure and family influence as a valuable resource and a source of competitive advantage. The organization design and the competitive strategy of a family firm are very important in order to gain competitive advantage and to improve the family firm performance. The relationship between organizational structures, family, competitive strategy, and family firm performance have usually been analyzed using the contingency and Resource Based View approaches. The objective of this paper is to extend the relevant empirical literature of the strategy-structure-performance paradigm by comparing the resource-based view (RBV) with contingency theory. To that end, the paper seeks to examine how organizational structure affects firm performance, taking into account the relationship with competitive strategy.

In the digital information networking age, because of circulation and convergence of the information, the cost for enterprises to find trading partners to do business is getting lower and lower. By the emergence of e-Marketplace, it gathers a great number of buyers and sellers. It can promote business transactions and break the barriers, such as country and time, among trading partners. The enterprise may increase business revenue on the e-Marketplace. But only via integrating the e-Marketplace operation processes and corporation’s internal processes, it can fulfill the requests and provide services on e-Marketplace as rapidly as possible. In this research we follow the Electronic Business XML (ebXML) specification that is planned by The United Nations Center for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT) and The Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS). The vision of ebXML is to create a single global electronic marketplace where enterprises of any size and in any geographical location can meet and conduct business with each other through the exchange of XML based messages. We build an ebXML compatible collaboration module to deal with Business-to-Business integration issues. Via this module we can run business-to-business processes integration smoothly and reduce the integration cost with using ebXML specification.

Published: October 2021

Apart from the civil war that was pronounced, Nigeria has never had it so bad in terms of insecurity and violence. In searching for a solution to this wedge to our national development, all factors, including family life of Nigerians became subject of examination. In pursuit of this, the researchers studied Awka resident’s perception of social media representation of family values in the era of insecurity in Nigeria. The study was anchored on social learning and agenda setting theory. Employing a survey research method, a sample size of 399 was arrived at. Questionnaire was also used as an instrument for data collection. From the data analysed, the researchers found that a greater percentage of Awka residents use social media. That they perceive social media representation of family values as negative. Concluding, the researchers observed that despite the positive roles of social media, that it also serves as an “evangelization ground” for new converts into violence and criminality which culminates in insecurity. The researchers recommended that efforts should be made to promote virtuous contents on social media. Also, that the family institution should intensify the inculcation of family values on their children who will grow to become responsible members of the larger society.

Published: October 2021

The researcher set out to determine the Abia Audience perception of the portrayal of women in television Advertising. The fundamental reason behind the study is to ascertain the way Abia audiences, especially the women are portrayed in television advertising; two theories were used as theoretical framework; they are reception analysis theory and constructivism theory. The researcher adopted the survey research design, employing the questionnaire as an instrument for data collection. A population of 138,570 was used out of which a sample size of 400 respondents was studied. Findings from the respondents show that women are not happy about the way they are presented in television advertising. Also, findings show that women are generally found in advertisements for home products, baby items, cosmetics and food items. They are also generally portrayed stereotypically in the advertisement of entertainment, clothes, and cosmetics but are portrayed non-stereotypically in ads for tobacco, travel, food and financial services. Based on the conclusion, the researchers recommend advertisements where women were treated merely as an object to sell, need to be abandoned and women need to come up openly and boldly against their degrading presentation.

Площадь поселения более 10 тыс. м2, на поверхности зафиксирован 21 котлован – следы древних построек. Культурный слой эпохи бронзы частично перекрыт развалинами казахской зимовки конца XIX – начала XX в. Между котлованами древних сооружений был заложен рекогносцировочный раскоп площадью 9 м2. Отмечено два культурных слоя. Верхний слой из серой золы представлен керамикой валикового типа, определяющей бегазы-дандыбаевскую (алексеевско-саргаринскую) культурную принадлежность памятника. Кроме керамики в нём найдены кости животных и железистые шлаки – побочные продукты медеплавильного производства. На этом этапе существования памятник входил в систему поселений Талдинского археологического микрорайона, группировавшихся вокруг поселения Аккезен. Нижний культурный слой в виде бурого зольника содержал кости животных, фрагменты глиняной посуды и медные шлаки. Керамика из этого слоя имеет аналогии в посуде из поселений и могильников андроновской (федоровской) культуры. В этом андроновском комплексе обнаружен костяной штамп для нанесения орнамента в гребенчатой технике. Поселение перспективно для изучения проблем истории и культуры населения Центрального Казахстана эпохи средней и поздней бронзы.

ИСТОРИЯ ОТКРЫТИЯ И ИЗУЧЕНИЯ ПЕРВОГО МАНИХЕЙСКОГО ХРАМА В СИБИРИ. Часть 1
Authors: Кызласов Игорь Леонидович
Published: October 2021

В этом номере публикуется первая часть статьи, продолжение – в следующем выпуске. 50 лет назад в Хакасии Л.Р. Кызласовым был найден и археологически изучен первый манихейский храм, положивший начало многолетним раскопкам подобных культовых сооружений. Ученик С.В. Киселёва, он в 1945–1949 гг. получил, казалось бы, классическое кочевниковедческое образование, направленное на изучение курганов: экспедиции в Хакасии, Туве, Казахстане, дипломная работа «Алтай в V–X вв.». Однако участие в раскопках гуннского дворца под Абаканом в 1946 г. побудило студента изучить публикации послевоенных раскопок монументальных зданий в Пенджикенте и Кармир-блуре. Самостоятельно полученные книжные знания позволили Кызласову, единственный раз работавшему в Средней Азии, в 1953–1954 гг. впервые в нашей науке отыскать и раскопать на городище Ак-Бешим буддийский храм и несторианскую церковь. Методика работ также была новой – соединяла опыт изучения курганов и сырцовых зданий. С тех пор исследователь многие годы находил и копал крепости и города древних уйгуров, хакасов, монголов на Верхнем и Среднем Енисее. Именно он в исхоженной археологами Хакасии распознал в оплывших буграх отдельный манихейский храм и крупный храмово-монастырский центр. Оба комплекса раскопаны им способом, выработанном в Ак-Бешиме. Тогда и поныне манихейские храмы остаются неизвестными археологам.

Authors: Manik Adi Tiarno
Published: October 2021

Seeing the reality that is happening in schools where alarms are needed as a sign or information about the start of lessons, breaks, ends of lessons until coming home from school. This is often done manually. This research was conducted to replace the manual tool with automatic equipment through the design of a digital clock using a Real Time Clock IC that uses an ATMega 8535 microcontroller as the controller of the entire circuit. In this system, a buzzer is used as an alarm and a seven segment as a time display. The time that is the reference in the digital clock is set at the beginning of the use of this digital clock into the RTC IC via a push button so that the microcontroller will retrieve the time data at a certain memory address. Based on the test results, starting from the time set, alarm set, the selection of the alarm sound until the activation of the alarm sound can be controlled by the microcontroller. Overall this system can function as designed.

Potential Financial Effects on Hospitals of the Removal of Common Orthopaedic and Spinal Procedures From Medicare's “Inpatient-Only” List: A Comparison of the Medicare Fee-for-service Payment Model Versus Maryland's Global Budget Revenue Model
Authors: Locke Charles F. S. , Hirsch Ronald L. , Hu Edward P. , Hughes Andrew H. , Ficke James R.
Published: October 2021

Background:

When treating Medicare beneficiaries, orthopaedic surgeons must follow Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) policies regarding whether to perform surgical treatments under inpatient or outpatient status. Recently, most orthopaedic and spinal procedures were removed from the CMS's “inpatient-only” list (IPOL). We investigated differences in hospital payments under the Diagnosis Related Group (DRG)/Ambulatory Payment Classification (APC) system when common orthopaedic/spinal procedures are done under outpatient rather than inpatient status. We compared these differences under the DRG/APC model with differences in payments to Maryland hospitals, which are paid under the alternative Global Budget Revenue model.

Methods:

We used the CMS Inpatient Pricer and CMS Addendum B to retrieve the mean duration-of-stay data, estimated DRG (inpatient) payment, and APC (outpatient) payment for eight common orthopaedic/spinal procedures for four non-Maryland hospitals (2 urban academic hospitals and 2 neighboring community hospitals). We retrieved Maryland's Health Services Cost Review Commission hospital rates for the same eight procedures done under inpatient or outpatient status to estimate hospital charges for a Maryland urban academic hospital and a neighboring community hospital.

Results:

Among the four non-Maryland hospitals, estimated differences in payment for hospitalizations under inpatient versus outpatient status for common orthopaedic/spinal procedures with a mean duration of stay of <2 days, whose status would be most subject to change from inpatient to outpatient by its removal from the IPOL, ranged from $19 to $13,042. For the two Maryland hospitals, differences in outpatient versus inpatient payment for these same procedures ranged from $182 to $1,273.

Discussion:

Non-Maryland hospitals receive widely different CMS payments for common orthopaedic/spinal procedures based on a change in hospitalization status (inpatient to outpatient) prompted by the procedure being removed from the IPOL. The Maryland global budget revenue mitigates most of the effect of hospitalization status on hospital payment and may serve as a guide toward DRG/APC payment reassessment.

“There is not enough time in the day to teach all subjects!” This is the cry heard in elementary schools all across the country. With testing and accountability on everyone's mind, teachers are looking for creative ways to teach all subjects. Literacy is on the top of the list for testing, so it seems to get top priority. But how can we make sure that mathematics, especially a crucial area such as algebraic thinking, is a priority as well?
Research, Reflection, Practice: Children's Mathematical Understanding and Invented Strategies for Multidigit Multiplication
Authors: Baek Jae Meen
Published: October 2021

Sharon, a fourth grader, was trying to solve a multiplication word problem: “A science lab has 37 ants. Students observed that each ant has 6 legs. How many legs do the ants have altogether?” She tried to recall the formal algorithm for multiplication. Setting up a table by 7s, she said, “Seven times six is 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42. Forty-two, put down two and carry four. Four plus three is seven. Seven times six is 42. So the answer is 422” (see fig. 1).

Achieving continuous‐wave (CW) lasing in organic semiconductors is known to be a difficult task because long‐lived triplets quench radiative singlets via singlet–triplet annihilation (STA). To avoid STA and operate organic lasers in CW or long‐pulse photoexcitation, the triplets need to be removed from an organic laser gain medium. However, this triplet removal leads to a loss of excitons. In addition to removing the detrimental triplets, here it is reported a triplet recycling process, which includes triplet scavenging and successive triplet upconversion via triplet–triplet annihilation (TTA) to regenerate emissive singlet excitons in a laser medium. An anthracene derivative of 9‐(1‐naphthalenyl)‐10‐(4‐(2‐naphthalenyl)phenyl)anthracene (NaNaP‐A) and a laser dye of 4,4′‐bis[4‐(diphenylamino)styryl]biphenyl (BDAVBi) are used as the triplet recycling sensitizer and the emitting laser dye, respectively. In this laser system, NaNaP‐A can efficiently scavenge the triplets formed on BDAVBi because the triplet level is deeper for NaNaP‐A than for BDAVBi, and then NaNaP‐A successively recycles the triplets into the BDAVBi's singlet state via TTA. The TTA compensates and overcomes the STA in this laser system. Hence, these laser devices can be operated with long pulse widths of up to 10 ms. This unique triplet recycling behavior is confirmed by transient photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) studies.

Published: October 2021

Ultrafast lasers play important roles for scientific research and industrial applications. Saturable absorbers serve as crucial components for ultrafast laser generation. For decades, securing saturable absorbers with superior performance is one of the focuses in the field of advanced laser technology. In this work, the authors fabricate a new saturable absorption mirror (SAM) based on BK7 glass wafer, which is with a buried thin‐layer of silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs). The embedded Ag NPs‐based SAM (Ag‐NPs‐SAM) possesses excellent saturable absorption features due to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of Ag NPs, and outstanding environmental stability owing to the protection of insulating dielectrics. In addition, benefiting from the ultrafast recovery time of Ag NPs, a continuous‐wave mode‐locking operation with the embedded Ag‐NPs‐SAM at 1037 nm is achieved in a Yb:KGW solid‐state laser system, obtaining pulses of a duration as short as 324 fs. The authors work offers a new strategy toward broadband response and high‐stability saturable absorbers for developing advanced ultrafast lasers.
Cyclization kinetics of gel‐spun polyacrylonitrile/aldaric‐acid sugars using the isoconversional approach
Authors: Banerjee Debjyoti , Dedmon Hannah , Rahmani Farzin , Pasquinelli Melissa , Ford Ericka
Published: October 2021

Comonomers, such as methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, and acrylic acid, can minimize the activation energy of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) cyclization through their nucleophilic reaction with pendant nitrile groups. An understanding of how these comonomers affect the kinetics of PAN cyclization inspired this study on how the isomeric sugars (glucaric acid(cis) and mucic acid(trans)) would influence PAN cyclization. Until now, researchers have characterized the cyclization of PAN by single activation energy; however, this approach using differential scanning calorimetry does not represent the conversion dependent kinetics of cyclization. The isoconversional method was used to evaluate exotherms for cyclization at three different heating rates while allowing the calculation of activation energy at incremental increases in conversion (α). The aldaric acid sugars reduced the activation energy of initiation by ~five times in comparison to values observed for neat PAN fiber and the ratio of (k1/k2) (where k1 is the rate constant for initiation and k2 is the rate constant for propagation) improved by ~2 orders of magnitude. Based on molecular dynamic simulations, hydrogen bonding between the aldaric acids sugars and PAN lowered the activation energy at the onset of cyclization.
