Authors: Kioko Jacinta Mwende , Mbithi Mary , Muema Wilson
Published: December 2023

Many organizations talk of strategic formulation whereby they develop strategies and put them into practice. However, many organizations fail to actualize these strategies due to a lack of proper implementation strategy. Many firms face challenges in strategic implementation due to a lack of resources. This study sought to examine the influence of organizational resources on the performance of financial services associations (FSAs) in Makueni and Kitui Counties of Kenya. This study followed a cross-section survey method to collect primary data by using questionnaires that were administered online and through the drop-and-pick method. The study found that FSAs in Kitui and Makueni counties utilized internal resources more in strategy implementation. Practices on resource allocation included technology, financial resources, and human resources. The study revealed an Exp(B) of 0.107 which was associated with a p-value of 0.001. The study concluded that the use of internal resources over external resources significantly increased the odds of high performance of FSAs in Kitui and Makueni counties. The study recommends Financial Service Associations (FSAs) in Kitui and Makueni counties utilize internal resources, including management expertise and financial strength, to capitalize on opportunities for improved performance. Additionally, FSAs should diversify revenue streams by introducing new products, prioritizing hiring and retaining skilled employees, investing in robust information security, adopting cutting-edge technology, and strategically allocating resources to optimize performance and cope with emerging demands during strategy implementation. The study emphasizes the importance of leveraging internal capabilities and proactive resource management for the success of FSAs.
Short – Term Forecasting for Daily Stock Market Indices using Discrete Fourier Transforms
Authors: Rodrigo Dinushiya S. , Rajapaksha Kavishka T.
Published: December 2023

The stock market indices are used to gauge the financial movements in the stock markets. If the index rises, the market is growing, and if it falls, the market is declining. The only stock exchange in Sri Lanka is operated by the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE). Its two primary stock market indices are All Share Price Index (ASPI) and Standard & Poor’s Sri Lanka 20 (S&P SL20). Market indices provide information to investors. So, they can predict the risks and returns of their investments. While ASPI forecasts assist investors in understanding the future direction of the entire market, S&P SL20 forecasts help investors make investment decisions. Therefore, in order to make the correct investment decisions, it is crucial to identify appropriate forecasting methods for those two indices to meet investor expectations. The Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) is a technique that can be used to convert a time-domain discrete signal into a frequency-domain discrete spectrum. In this study, the ASPI and S&P SL20 indexes were modeled as the Fast Fourier Transform amplitude spectrum using the daily stock values. The daily index data from the years 2017 to 2022 were used to formulate this model. The study also examined the periodic deviations of both indices during the considered period. Additionally, this research predicts the near future of both indices by modeling the daily indices values. To further verify the accuracy of the model, data from the SET (Thailand Stock Index) were employed. According to the results, the ASPI and S&P SL20 datasets show periodic patterns ranging from 4 days to 7 days and the SET datasets show periodic patterns between 5 and 6 days. The forecasting ability of the proposed Fourier model was assessed by using metrices such as Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). Finally, it is concluded that the proposed Fourier model is capable of forecasting the daily ASPI and S&P SL20 indices for a short period of time equivalent to their periodicities.

Published: December 2023

The audiobook underwent several transformations until it became a digital file marketed on platforms, as it is known today. In order to identify this progress, this research sought to investigate the emergence of audiobooks and their evolution through a brief literature review. For this, a search was carried out on the Journal Portal of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Portal CAPES) to retrieve works that addressed the theme, using descriptors related to the concept of audiobooks. In view of the results obtained, it was observed that audiobooks have their origin and evolution connected with the advancement of sound technology, which has been improved over the years, offering a significant transformation with the conception of the internet. In addition, the adoption of the audiobook as digital content increases equity and accessibility for users, as it is a format capable of inclusion.

Bagi umat Muslim, menjadikan Al-Qur’an sebagai inspirasi sekaligus paradigma dalam mewujudkan atau mendesain pendidikan bukanlah hal yang bersifat utopis dan berlebihan justru merupakan suatu keniscayaan mengingat Al-Qur’an merupakan sumber utama sekaligus menjadi basis referensi dalam perumusan hukum Islam. Sebagai sebuah paradigma, maka hal tersebut akan terwujud dalam kerangka yang menjadi tolak ukur sejauh mana semangat dan pesan Al-Qur’an direalisasikan dalam mengupayakan pendidikan Islam.

Al-Qur’an sebagai petunjuk umat manusia memiliki nilai yang universal dan eternal.Keuniversalan al-Qur’an ini berarti tidak mengenal batas teritorial dan sekat-sekat kemanusiaan. Sedang eternalitasnya membuatnya mampu berjalan seiring dengan semangat zaman yang melingkupinya. Oleh karena itu, dengan kedua sifat tersebut prinsip-prinsip umum yang diemban oleh al-Qur’an akan selalu dirasakan manfaatnya oleh umat manusia, asal mereka mau melakukan pengkajian-pengkajian yang seksama dan komprehensif terhadap ayat-ayatnya yang tersebar dalam 114 surat itu. Upaya memahami pesan-pesan al-Qur’an dalam sebaran ayat-ayatnya itulah hakikat tafsir, sehingga dari seni dapat dimengerti betapa urgennya tafsir al-Qur’an itu.

Le droit à l’enseignement supérieur à l’épreuve des inégalités socio-économiques et de la privatisation du secteur : une étude sur la France
Authors: Lima Juliana , Dorsi Delphine
Published: December 2023

L’enseignement supérieur est un droit humain, garanti par de nombreux traités internationaux. Les États ont l’obligation de veiller à ce que l’enseignement supérieur soit également accessible à toutes et à tous sur la base de la capacité de chacun-e, et doivent mettre en place tous les moyens appropriés pour sa pleine réalisation, notamment à travers l’instauration progressive de la gratuité. Si les effectifs du supérieur sont en hausse dans plusieurs pays du monde, les inégalités d’accès persistent. Cet article analyse les inégalités d’accès à l’enseignement supérieur, en France, au regard des droits de l’Homme : le cadre juridique applicable a été confronté aux statistiques officielles, à une revue de littérature, et à une enquête qualitative (entretiens semi-directifs et discussions collectives). L’article montre que la polarisation géographique des établissements d’enseignement supérieur en France, la valeur sociale attribuée à certains diplômes ainsi que les coûts directs et indirects, liés à l’éducation, peuvent représenter des barrières à un accès égal pour toutes et tous. Le cas de la France permet de montrer que la pleine réalisation du droit à l’enseignement supérieur, telle que garantit par le droit international, ne va pas de soi, même lorsqu’il est inscrit dans le cadre législatif national.
Systèmes éducatifs africains. Effets des TICs sur les politiques d’enseignement
Authors: Lokonon Clémentine
Published: December 2023

Confrontée déjà à la reconnaissance et à la modernisation de son système éducatif à visage varié et multiforme, l’invasion des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TICs) dans tous les domaines vient renforcer la fracture entre les pays de l’Afrique dans leurs diverses postures et le reste du monde. Le progrès technologique, patrimoine universel est alors interrogé comme voix /voie alternative à la politique du « tout » ou du « rien » en termes de transmission du savoir pour un but de plénitude. En effet, les technologies de l’information et de la communication transportent désormais vers l’individu le savoir sans une autre préoccupation de privilège ou de discrimination ; s’offrant ainsi comme voie et aussi voix puisqu’exposant l’humain à leurs représentations en tant que signes. Dans une approche sémio-interactionnelle et philosophique, les signes sont analysés pour dire les TICs comme voix en vue de ressortir la voie qu’elles représentent pour les systèmes éducatifs. C’est un espace discursif mutant à tous les niveaux du système éducatif qui impose de nouveaux paradigmes du contenu à l’agent en passant par le cadre interactif et les notions tournant autour du droit à l’éducation.
The Intelligent Work of Art: How the Narcissus Theme Echoes in New Media Art
Authors: Becker Daniel
Published: December 2023

This paper will deal with the mythological figure of Narcissus in new media art. In visual arts in general, this myth is usually used to reflect on the relationship between the artist and his actual work. There are countless examples of artists from antiquity to the present age that deal with subjectivity in their work by recurring the Narcissus theme. But different to those adaptations, works of the New Media Art since the 1970s reflect more about the technology and subjectivity of the observer through the theme of Narcissus. The use of time-based media allows the artists to address the observer immediately through interaction and let him become a part of the work and therefore become a part of the cognitive process. The argument of this paper is that only through the use of time-based art could the self-awareness of the observer be discussed instead of only a reflecting on the work itself and the reception-process. Against this backdrop, the paper will focus on the use of AI as a ‘material’ in contemporary art and how it extends this cognitive process. In addition to other works from the history of new media art the work Narciss (2018) by the German art collective Waltz Binaire will be in the center of this discussion about AI in and as artistic practice.
Hatsune Miku: Whose Voice, Whose Body?
Authors: Sabo Adriana
Published: December 2023

This paper focuses on certain aspects of the Hatsune Miku phenomenon, a highly popular Vocaloid character from Japan. Hatsune Miku began her “life” as a software for vocal synthesis released by Crypton Future Media Inc., and has, since her first “birthday”, become a virtual pop star. Despite being a fictional character, Miku takes on many of the traits a human has. She exists in a realm between human and artificial, mass media and personal space, between real and fantastic. This paper will discuss some basic information about Hatsune Miku and her large fan base, the issues of gender performativity and materiality of the body and voice, as well as the euphoric response of fans known as moe.

Published: December 2023

Background: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a form of retinal detachment caused by passage of fluid from the vitreous cavity into the space between the neurosensory retina and the retinal pigment epithelium via a retinal break or full-thickness defect. At our tertiary referral center, we evaluated the clinical and epidemiological features of RRD, and we herein report the frequency of related risk factors.

Methods: In this retrospective study, we reviewed the records of patients with a final diagnosis of RRD at an academic ophthalmological referral center in Isfahan, Iran, over a six-year period. We retrieved and reviewed data from the medical records of all eligible participants, including sex, age, laterality, lens status, macular status, type of RRD, location and number of breaks, type of surgery, rate of re-operation during the first year after initial surgery, and documented clinical risk factors for RRD. Clinical risk factors were categorized as the presence of myopic refractive error, ocular trauma, history of cataract surgery, history of other ocular surgeries, history of uveitis, or undetermined.

Results: We included 2315 eyes of 2229 patients with a mean (standard deviation [SD]) age of 51.1 (16.9) years and a male-to-female ratio of 1.8:1. The most common quadrants containing retinal breaks were the superotemporal quadrant (34.1%), inferotemporal quadrant (23.4%), and superonasal quadrant (10.7%). Macula-involved RRD was seen in 90% of eyes (n=2083 eyes). The most frequently identified risk factors were cataract surgery (32.9%) and myopia (22.3%) in adults, and myopia (35.0%) and ocular trauma (27.4%) in the pediatric group. Most eyes underwent pars plana vitrectomy (51.3%), whereas pneumatic retinopexy (0.7%) was the least commonly selected.

Conclusions: Our results indicate that cataract surgery and myopia are the most common risk factors for RRD in adults. Myopia and ocular trauma are the most common risk factors in pediatric patients. As observed in many studies, the characteristics of the study population, including middle age, male sex, myopia, and ocular trauma, may be associated with RRD at different rates. Further population-based longitudinal studies with larger sample sizes are required to verify these preliminary observations.
Effects of repeated intravitreal bevacizumab administration on anterior segment parameters and limbal stem cells
Authors: Eidizadeh Mojtaba , Felegary Mohsen , Madani Seyed Hamid , Hosseini Fatemeh , Bagheri Masood
Published: December 2023

Background: Macular edema (ME) is fluid accumulation in the macula caused by vascular leakage. Repeated intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injections are extensively used to treat ME of different origins, are well tolerated, and have few side effects. This study evaluated the effects of repeated IVB injections on the anterior segment parameters and limbal stem cells (LSCs) in eyes with ME.

Methods: This before–after study involved patients with ME of different causes who underwent repeated IVB injections at the Imam Khomeini Ophthalmology Center in Kermanshah, Iran. Before and after repeated IVB injections, anterior segment parameters were measured using anterior segment optical coherence tomography, and the LSCs were assessed using impression cytology.

Results: We enrolled 42 eyes of 42 patients with a mean (standard deviation [SD]) age of 59.6 (7.6) years, of whom 25 (59.5%) were men and 17 (40.5%) were women. The underlying diseases included diabetic ME in 30 eyes (71.4%), central (5 [11.9%]) or branch (3 [7.1%]) retinal vein occlusion, and choroidal neovascularization in 4 eyes (9.5%). The right eye was affected in 22 (52.4%) participants. The mean (SD) number of IVB injections was 4.3 (1.3). After repeated injections, the mean central corneal thickness (CCT) increased, whereas the mean anterior chamber angle (ACA) and anterior chamber depth (ACD) decreased (all P<0.001). Three patients developed LSC deficiency after repeated IVB injections for diabetic ME.

Conclusions: We observed a significant increase in the mean CCT and a decrease in the mean ACA and ACD after repeated IVB injections in our series. Three patients developed LSC deficiency after repeated IVB injections for diabetic ME management. The observed effect on LSC may cast doubt on the safety of repeated IVB injections; however, this finding must be verified in multicenter clinical trials with longer follow-up periods and larger study samples.

Water fort was originally a military establishment of the Mughal period. Needless to say, this water fort system is the first structure of the Mughal period. By whose hands the palace, fort, and building gradually evolved. Gradually things become quite popular. In course of time, the use of Jaldurga is almost non-existent even though the usage of all the structures is quite strong. Subaddar Mir Jumla built nine water forts in Bengal to protect Mughal Dhaka. Such as Idrakpur Fort, Kalagachia Fort, Sonakanda Fort (Subarkandi Fort), Hajiganj Fort (Old Khizirpur Fort), Dapa Fort, Fatulla Fort, Pagla Fort, Beg Murad Fort, Jinjira Fort etc. All these forts are river side. This is situated on the banks of the river. Water forts play a direct role in naval control. Many of the forts here have not survived. One of these three survives is Sonakanda Fort. Initially it was popularly known as Subarnakandi Fort but eventually it was renamed as Sonakanda Fort. The fort is very popular and known by this name till now. This paper contains numerous research works. Jaldurga is extensively discussed in the research paper. Initially, hands were assigned to determine the exact location of the water fort. The history of this fort is highlighted. The historic Sonakanda fort has been extensively documented architecturally. This documentation is accompanied by the required photographs and drawings. It also sheds light on how to restore this water castle and sustain it for the future. In this article, the historical issues, problem solving and the basics of conservation of these ancient artifacts are brilliantly discussed. And so this framework will be ready for the future. In this way, every historical place has to be prepared for the future. And in this way, their identity will be presented to future people with historical values.

Bu araştırmanın amacı koyunlara tolfenamik asitin 2, 4, 8 ve 16 mg/kg dozda damar içi yolla uygulaması sonrası hematolojik ve biyokimyasal parametrelerdeki değişimi belirlemektir. Araştırma 8 adet sağlıklı Akkaraman ırkı koyun üzerinde gerçekleştirildi. Koyunlara 2, 4, 8 ve 16 mg/kg dozda tolfenamik asit damar içi yolla uygulandı. Kan örnekleri ilaç uygulaması öncesi (0.saat, kontrol) ve uygulamayı takiben 72. saatte alındı. Hematolojik parametrelerin analizi kan hücresi sayım cihazında ve biyokimyasal parametrelerin analizi otoanalizör cihazında gerçekleştirildi. Koyunlara tolfenamik asitin 2, 4 ve 8 mg/kg dozda uygulaması hematolojik (akyuvar, alyuvar, hemoglobin, hematokrit ve trombosit) ve biyokimyasal parametrelerde (albumin, alkalen fosfataz, alanin aminotransferaz, aspartat aminotransferaz, gama glutamil transferaz, kolesterol, total bilirubin, trigliserit, kreatinin ve üre) herhangi bir değişikliğe neden olmadığı belirlendi (p>0.05). Tolfenamik asitin 16 mg/kg dozda uygulaması kreatinin ve üre değerlerinde önemli artışa neden olurken (p0.05). Sonuç olarak tolfenamik asitin koyunlara 2, 4 ve 8 mg/kg dozlarında uygulanması iyi tolere edilirken, 16 mg/kg dozunun böbrek fonksiyonları üzerinde istenmeyen etkilere neden olduğu belirlendi. Ancak koyunlarda tolfenamik asitin güvenilirliğinin histopatolojik ve moleküler olarak ortaya konulmasına ihtiyaç vardır.

Em qualquer Estado de Direito, a função policial tem um amplo campo de atuação sobre a questão da segurança. As estratégias e formas que cada governo implementa em relação aos seus agentes responsáveis ​​pela aplicação da lei têm um impacto direto, na segurança dos cidadãos. Portanto, antes da análise específica da função policial, deve-se compreender a segurança na perspectiva dos direitos humanos, ou seja, no mínimo vital que requer medidas concretas para garanti-lo. As constituições contêm a lei fundamental e, na maioria das vezes, suprema do Estado, e o Estado de Direito dita a aplicação desses princípios acima de todas as outras leis. Assim, o objetivo do presente artigo é sintetizar evidências acerca do estado democrático de direito em relação à segurança pública e o papel da Polícia Militar. A pesquisa delineou-se em uma revisão literária em livros e artigos que apresentam altos fatores de impacto, periódicos especializados nacionais e doutrinas. Buscou-se apresentar a história da Polícia Militar e suas formas de atuação, como a polícia defende o Estado Democrático de Direito, a ética policial, a atuação da polícia com base nos direitos humanos, manutenção da ordem pública e salvaguarda das liberdades democráticas, responsabilidade policial e transparência e as questões de organização e gestão da polícia.
Theoretical Foundations of Cultural Materialism and Understanding of Literary Text
Authors: Abbas Mujahid , Dr. Kamran Abbas Kazmi
Published: December 2023

Cultural Materialism theory is proposed by an American Anthropologist Marvin Harris. This theory has a scientific strategy to find the facts about human cultures. This theory suggests that in every sociocultural system, three major parts, infrastructure, structure, and superstructure, interact with each other. Infrastructure refers to material resources of the culture that man established to get energy and food from his physical environment. Structure refers to the laws and procedures of social institutions which regulate the distribution of food and power among the members of the society. Superstructure refers to the soft images of society like art, music, language, literature, and behaviors of individuals in a social setup. This theory provides a comprehensive analysis pattern of any literary text by finding the infrastructure in the base of structure and superstructure. In this article, it is tried to formulate theoretical bases and practical dimensions of cultural materialism۔
