Published: August 2024

The success of an intercropping system depends largely on the choice of crop species, their compatibility and the various management practices, including the time of sowing. Relative sowing time variations in sweet maize/ water melon intercropping system was examined in the 2022 and 2023 cropping seasons. The experiments were conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm of the Akwa Ibom State University Obio Akpa campus, between March, 2022 and August, 2023. Maize was either sown simultaneously on the same day with water melon or 2, 4 or 6 weeks before or after water melon. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design and replicated three times. Results indicated significant effects of the cropping system and the relative time of sowing on the component crops. The growth and yield of sweet maize and water melon were significantly decreased due to the intercropping system. Generally, the yield of component crops increased when sown earlier, but decreased when sown later than the component sown earlier. Sweet maize had better competitive ability over water melon in this arrangement; when water melon was sown later than 2 weeks after maize, it was smothered and yielded nothing. Optimum productivity of the system was however achieved when sweet maize and water melon were sown simultaneously on the same day.

The Effectiveness of Quantitative Easing: Evidence from Case Study
Authors: Zeng Bijun
Published: August 2024

This review paper outlines, analyzes and evaluates QE programs implemented by US, UK, and Japan in response to the global financial crisis. By time-lining the critical actions taken by the Federal Reserve, Bank of England and Bank of Japan, the paper describes and compares the motivations and circumstances of each case. The aim of quantitative easing programs is to ease financial conditions by increasing liquidity to drive up economic growth and maintain target inflation rate. Whilst all three countries have conducted several rounds of QE in order to meet the macro-objectives of steady and stable economic growth and inflation around 2%, US and UK inserted a strong focus on expanding the central bank balance sheet by heavily purchasing assets, with particularly the US purchasing the greatest value. Japan, on the other hand, emphasized the increase in lending. BoJ has also been conducting QE, but in a long-term fashion and of a broader purpose, due to the nature of the Japanese population being aging.

Published: August 2024

Automatic age and gender prediction from facial images is increasingly crucial for applications in
security, marketing, and social media. Existing systems often face challenges related to accuracy,
demographic generalization, and bias. This study addresses these issues by developing a deep
learning-based system utilizing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for enhanced
classification of age and gender. The key research gaps include limited accuracy, insufficient
handling of diverse data, and model bias. The proposed approach encompasses data acquisition,
preprocessing, and the design of a CNN architecture within a multi-class classification framework.
Various CNN models are evaluated, incorporating transfer learning, hyperparameter optimization,
and regularization techniques to improve performance. The system's effectiveness is assessed
through metrics such as classification accuracy, precision, recall, and robustness across different
demographic groups. Results indicate significant advancements in prediction accuracy and model
generalization compared to existing methods. The technology holds practical applications in
security, personalized marketing, and social networking. Challenges such as model bias and the
need for diverse datasets are addressed, with future research aimed at further refining the model
and expanding its applicability. This work highlights the substantial improvements deep learning
offers to facial recognition technologies.
Students’ Perceptions of Intersemiotically Cohesive Teaching Materials Designed for English for Agriculture
Authors: Teedaaksornsakul Mareeyadar , E. J. A. Bowen Neil
Published: August 2024

Multimodal materials have become ubiquitous in language teaching classes. However, growing evidence suggests that misalignments between multimodal elements can mislead or even confuse students. To explore such concerns, this paper focuses on the design and pedagogical application of intersemiotically cohesive multimodal materials in an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) context. Specifically, utilizing a classroom-based intervention with two groups of Thai undergraduates (N = 41) enrolled on an English for agriculture course, we employed think-aloud protocols and video recordings to capture their interactions with multimodal materials we designed. The video recordings were then used for video-stimulated focus group interviews with six representatives from each group. This allowed us to explore how these students perceived and interacted with our designed materials and enabled us to investigate how a congruence between written text, visuals, hyperlinks to translations and audio, and consciousness-raising questions affected their learning experience. The findings revealed that well-integrated multimodal resources supported vocabulary acquisition and reading comprehension. However, students reported challenges with the abstraction of text and usability of hyperlinks, suggesting areas for further material refinement. Based on our results, we make recommendations for multimodal material design and underscore the critical need for cohesive educational resources to ensure learning effectiveness and accessibility.

La música como servidora del drama en la zarzuela El cóndor pasa... de Daniel Alomía Robles
Authors: Ruiz-Pacheco Luis Fernando
Published: August 2024

Dentro de todo el repertorio académico peruano, algunas de las piezas musicales más conocidas son el Pasacalle y la Cashua (dos bailes indígenas) de la zarzuela El cóndor pasa..., obra estrenada en 1913, cuyos libreto y música fueron respectivamente escritos por Julio Baudouin (también conocido como Julio de la Paz), y por Daniel Alomía Robles. Aunque estos bailes son considerados como piezas representativas de la música peruana y han sido interpretadas por muchos artistas, algunos de ellos les añadieron letras apócrifas, la gran difusión mundial del Pasacalle y la Cashua ha inducido a los oyentes a descontextualizar e ignorar la relación entre la música y el libreto, y el papel de la música como servidora del drama. Luego de analizar la crítica social detrás de El cóndor pasa... y, sin dejar de lado el aspecto musical, así como la relación entre la música de Daniel Alomía Robles y el drama escrito por Julio Baudouin, este artículo explica brevemente cómo inició el problema de la descontextualización de la zarzuela, el argumento y las tramas involucradas, para finalmente explicar cómo la música compuesta por Daniel Alomía Robles sirve al drama como tal.

Published: August 2024

A significant attrition rate among doctoral students has increased attention in the past two decades. Different researchers have identified factors contributing to doctoral programs' attrition rate. Although exploring these external factors contributes to the retention of doctoral students, only a few studies have explored the internal factors that contribute to the retention of doctoral students. This study aimed to explore the internal factor, self-compassion, in reducing distress, anxiety and depression that causes higher attrition rates among doctoral students. The study was descriptive, while correlational research was used to establish the relationship between self-compassion and emotional well-being. For this study, a sample of 80 doctoral students, through multistage sampling, from 3 selected universities were selected for the study. Two questionnaires, i.e. Self-Compassion Scale and DASS-21, were used to collect data. The finding revealed a higher association between self-compassion and emotional well-being. It was observed that a greater level of self-compassion resulted in a lower level of emotional well-being. It indicated a significant negative relationship between self-compassion and the emotional well-being of doctoral students. Interventions for improving the level of self-compassion may enhance overall well-being. This will ultimately be supportive in reducing depression, anxiety and stress among doctoral students, which will result in better retention among doctoral students in Punjab.

A significant outcome was the observable decrease in participants' systolic blood pressure levels after engagement. This decrease, averaging approximately 6.6%, sparked discussions on its clinical relevance compared to other health interventions. To understand forest bathing's effects comprehensively, the study tracked systolic and diastolic blood pressure before and after the activity. It also incorporated psychological measures, including the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and a happiness assessment. The latter revealed that the vast majority of participants (88.3%) reported high levels of happiness. This research significantly advances forest bathing as a sustainable health tourism model in Thailand by providing early evidence of its effectiveness across diverse landscapes and reinforcing its adoption. The study highlights the importance of merging physiological and psychological assessments, offering a more comprehensive method to evaluate forest bathing's therapeutic potential, thereby enhancing its feasibility and maximizing its benefits within Thailand's unique environmental contexts.
