Metaphorical Expressions in Hausa Court Songs: A Study of Sa’idu Faru’s Waƙar Mamman Sarkin Kudu
Authors: Shede, Ph.D Adamu
Published: September 2024

Sa’idu Faru is one of the prominent court singers in Hausa land. He composed quite several songs and one of such is the one titled Waƙar Mamman Sarkin Kudu. This song, like many other songs, is characterized by different figures of speech. These figures of speech are normally employed to showcase one’s mastery of a language on one hand and to achieve a certain literary effect on the other. One of the prominent figures of speech is metaphor. This paper aims to extract metaphorical expressions in this song and examine the role they play in the performance of the song and in aiding to convey the message contained in the song to the audience. The version of the song used is the one in the appendix of a PhD thesis by Magaji Tsoho Yakawada (2002) and the analysis is a literary stylistic study. The analysis reveals that many metaphorical expressions are contained in the song and most of them are through a direct comparison of the person being praised (the patron) or his opponents with some animals in an attempt to reveal some special attributes of either the former or the latter as the case may be.
Fake Product Detection with Blockchain Technology
Authors: Orioha Ebuka
Published: September 2024

Consumers and brands are at serious risk due to the growth of counterfeit goods, especially in regions like Nigeria. Conventional techniques, such border inspections and market raids by the Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON), are inadequate for detecting counterfeit goods. To ensure traceability, transparency, and immutability in the supply chain, this article suggests utilizing blockchain technology. The decentralized and encrypted characteristics of blockchain, when bolstered by smart contracts, enable efficient product tracking from producers to end users, hence impeding the infiltration of fake goods. Using a permissioned blockchain network, this system attempts to confirm the legitimacy of products at every point along the supply chain—manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and end users. The Remix IDE is used to deploy and test Ethereum-based smart contracts that were created in Solidity for the proposed system. This blockchain-based strategy aims to decrease the spread of counterfeit goods, protect consumer confidence, and preserve brand reputation. To offer a user-friendly interface for wider accessibility, future advancements will link this system with decentralized apps (DApps).

Inflation and DER Fluctuations: The Underpricing Phenomenon
Authors: Yandes Jufri
Published: September 2024

Capital markets reflect economic progress, with IPO and underpricing illustrating market and investor efficiency. This study aims to see how inflation and DER variables impact the underpricing value during the IPO years from 2021 to 2022. For this study, a purposive sampling method was applied to sort out a sample of 75 issuers during the period with respect to certain criteria. The hypotheses of this study were tested using multiple linear regression analysis using the EViews program. The main data comes from the prospectus of issuers listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The inflation variable may or may not have a significant impact on the underpricing phenomenon. Where also the coefficient results are negative on the inflation value from 2021 to 2022, meaning that the greater the increase in the inflation variable, the value of stock under-pricing will decrease. The study results also contradict the results of the inflation T-test, explaining that the DER variable may or may not have a significant effect on the underpricing of IPO shares, but from 2021 to 2022 based on the F test, the underpricing of IPO shares is influenced by the DER and inflation variables simultaneously.

Authors: Sentoso Antony , Junestin Junestin , Nelson Alden
Published: September 2024

In this era, technological advances benefit many aspects of work, including  Human Resources Management (HRM). Implementing E-HRM helps organizations improve efficiency, reduce paper waste, and support sustainability principles. The study aims to examine the impact of E-HRM on Sustainability Performance, mediated by Labour Productivity and moderated by Organizational Agility. The research was conducted on MSMEs in Batam City, using a purposive sampling technique to obtain primary data from 200 respondents by distributing G-From questionnaires. The quantitative analysis method used is SmartPLS software. The research results of the hypothesis that shows a direct and significant positive effect on Sustainability Performance is Labor Productivity. Meanwhile, E-HRM implementation has a positive, not significant, effect on Sustainability Performance but has a positive, significant impact on Labour Productivity. The proven indirect research hypothesis is the relationship between E-HRM implementation and Sustainability Performance mediated by Labor Productivity. The theory that E-HRM implementation significantly positively affects Labour Productivity through moderation of organizational agility has yet to be proven. This research is expected to cover a broader range of research and can be used as a reference for other studies.

Published: September 2024

The article analyzes the concept of overload in relation to freight vehicles in conditions of weight control of vehicles. Based on the results of the analysis of a number of publications in this area, including scientific ones, it is indicated that the term "overload" used in them is identified with exceeding the normatively established permissible mass and (or) loads on the axles of the vehicle, which, in the reasonable opinion of the author, is incorrect. Based on knowledge in the field of terminology theory and guided by existing dictionary definitions of overload in railway and maritime transport, it is proposed to give the term "overload" in truck transport a similar meaning.

Authors: Gundra Madhan Sai Kumar  , Dr.A P Bhuvaneswari
Published: September 2024

Asthma is a chronic and multifactorial respiratory disease that depends on the patient's genetic make-up, the internal environment in the body and the external environment within which the patient exists. These complex influences are explored in this project by employing a large number of patients’ records, 2,392. It consists of numerous demographic characteristics, lifestyles (tobacco use and exercise), environmental conditions (pollution and irritants), past medical history (asthma in first-degree relatives and allergies), physical examination (spirometry), and symptoms (wheezing, breathlessness). Some of the crucial goals of the present work are to determine the factors that would impact the prevalence of Gastroesophageal Reflux and Smoking status among patients with asthma. It involves data cleaning by dealing with the missing values and categorical variables, and feature scaling by using z-score to deal with outliers. The SMOTE algorithm is used on the dataset to cope with the problem of class imbalance.
Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, KNN, AdaBoost, and NB algorithms are used to forecast the target variables. There are a lot of evaluation matrices such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1 measure, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Area Under the Curve, and many more to evaluate the model. ROC curves and precision-recall curves are commonly used to give a full and accurate evaluation of the model’s performance with the help of confusion matrices. The outcomes of the study shall help to increase understanding of factors that underlie asthma and enhance the potential for prognosis and patient management at the individual level

THE PERFORMANCE OF CO-EDUCATION OVER SINGLE- GENDER EDUCATION: A CASE STUDY ON THE STUDENTS OF CITY UNIVERSITY IN BANGLADESH
Authors: Murshedul Arafin
Published: September 2024

A single-sex school is a school that accepts only students of a particular gender, and a segregated and nurturing educational environment is believed to be more conducive to learning than a coeducational school (Harter, 2018). This study conducted show that boys have more academic advantages studying in coeducational schools, whereas girls find segregated schools more achievable. (Ogden, 20110). But academic performance is not the only criterion by which the success of an education system is judged. Further this study shows that boys and girls have unique requirements if they want to reach their full potential. Proponents of the gender-segregated model believe that because research shows that boys and girls learn differently, they should attend schools that address their needs, and that gender-segregated schools take account of these differences to create programs tailored to optimize success and boys learn in a really different way (Marsh, H.W. 1991).

LEVERAGING DEEP LEARNING FOR IMPROVED CYCLONE FORCASTING
Authors: Anurag Modi  , Dr. Archana Bhaskar
Published: September 2024

Tropical cyclones (TCs) are frequently rarest but one of the foremost dangerous weather phenomena to arise over tropical oceans, usually creating huge issues with nearly ninety storms globally annually. Early detection and monitoring of TCs are necessary for the early warning of areas in danger. Since these storms originate over the open ocean and frequently out at sea many miles of continental regions, they are detected using remote sensing. In this paper, we propose an automatic method to identify the formation of TCs through satellite images combining a deep learning architecture. The methodology is based on a two-stage deep learning framework: Mask CNN as detector stage—second wind speed filter and lastly Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for classification. The best possible performance is obtained by hyperparameter optimization using Bayesian Optimization across the pipeline. Results show that the proposed method achieves a precision, specificity, and accuracy of 97.10%, 97.59%, and 86.55% in test images respectively

Authors: Venezuela Fanny , Mita Mita , Rahmawati Nadia
Published: September 2024

The current trend of decreasing menarche age has caused many high-grade elementary school students to experience menarche. Currently, the age of menarche tends to get younger with an average age between 9-12 years old, which causes children to need family roles to prepare themselves to face menarche. This research aimed to determine the relationship of family role with female students’ readiness in facing menarche at Kartika XVII-3 Sungai Raya Elementary School. This research was conducted from February 28 to March 2, 2024. This research was quantitative research, with a cross-sectional approach. The sample collection technique used a questionnaire. With a sample number of 39 using the total sampling method. Data analysis using the Spearman Rank test. The age range of respondents was 9-13 years, with the highest number aged 11 years as much as 46.2%. In the criteria for parental employment, 69.2% of respondents were IRT. As many as 74.4% of children get information sources from families. Family roles 61.5% of respondents have family roles that are not good. There are 69.2% of respondents are not prepared for menarche. The results of the Spearman Rank test found that the p-value < α (0.000 ≤ 0.005) and there was a relationship between the role of family and the readiness of female students in facing menarche at Kartika XVII-3 Sungai Raya Elementary School. The information obtained by the child from the family will further affect a child's readiness to face the first menstruation. Information about menstruation is not conveyed properly and correctly, it will affect the child's readiness to face menstruation. Future researchers are expected to be able to develop more deeply the relationship between family roles and the readiness of schoolgirls to face menarche and can develop other variables that affect the unpreparedness to face menarche so that they can be used for further research.

A Corpus-Driven Study of Syntactic And Semantic Models of Transitivized English Intransitive Verbs
Authors: Wu Xiaofang , Xiao Kunxue
Published: September 2024

Transitivized English intransitive verbs, abbreviated as transitivized EIVs in the present study, refer to the English intransitive verbs which are transitively used taking direct objects as normal transitive verbs do. This study aims to systematically explore their syntactic and semantic patterns through a specialized corpus with 585 instances of 211 transitivized EIVs from the EIV corpus and approximately 97,000 words from the instances of 210 transitivized EIVs from the Corpus of Contemporary American English. To code the syntactic and semantic patterns of transitivized EIVs, conventional lexical and phrasal categories as well as the Ideal Motion Event Category were employed. The results of investigation indicate that the transitivized EIVs feature three major syntactic patterns: “EIVs + NP/Pron. + Zero”, “EIVs + NP/Pron. + meaning-supplementing expressions” and “EIVs + one’s way + Prep.-Phr.” while their semantic patterns are governed by law: The basic semantic pattern of the transitivized EIVs is the cause sense, but with its weakening or backgrounding, the other semantic patterns take the stage involving the sense combination of cause and manner, the sense of manner or the sense of abstract motion. This study offers a relatively comprehensive landscape of the linguistic phenomenon of transitivized EIVs and is believed capable of facilitating a better understanding of EIVs, thereby flexible and appropriate use of EIVs in intercultural communication.

Conventional agriculture has been blamed for its ecological and economic concerns. Consequently, sustainable agriculture has emerged as a feasible and viable alternative for addressing food insecurity and climate change risks, despite its low uptake and unmet expectations. This study examined the opportunities, challenges, and limitations of adopting sustainable agriculture. To do this, a questionnaire survey and group discussions were used to collect information from a random sample of households. The collected data were examined using the percentage, priority ranking, and content analysis. Farmers have mentioned several economic benefits and ecological viability of sustainable agriculture: enhanced soil fertility, improved vegetation coverage, reduced land degradation, generated employment, and increased water availability. These results have then led to increased agricultural productivity, reduced carbon emissions, and improved food security. However, it was found that lack of information, limited institutional support, labour shortages, and fragmented farmland are the major constraints to adopting sustainable agriculture. Other problems include an increased workload, waterlogging, sedimentation, loss of cultivated and grazing land, the spread of external predators, and the emergence of diseases and pests. All of these problems may prohibit farmers from fully accepting and implementing sustainable agriculture. Hence, it is imperative to organize on-the-spot demonstrations, information-sharing, and capacity building for farmers and extension workers in order to comprehend the attributes, benefits, and constraints of sustainable agriculture. Farmers should also be given technical and financial assistance to implement sustainable agricultural practices. It is imperative that policymakers and development actors must establish and empower local institutions to promote sustainable agriculture, in order to fully explot its potential benefits and expand its reach to areas that are prone to drought and water shortages.

Published: September 2024

Despite chaining strategy being used in teaching deaf pupils in Tanzania, still deaf graduate with poor reading skills. Thus, there was the need of finding out the reasons for this stressing situation in the country. Basing on the theory of simple view of reading which highlights that reading comprehension is determined by word recognition ability and language comprehension ability, this study explored the contribution of chaining strategy in developing word recognition ability among deaf pupils in selected special primary schools in Tanzania. The study employed mixed research approach with a convergent research design, whereby, in-depth interview, observation, questionnaire and test were employed to collect data from teachers and deaf pupils respectively. A sample of 182 respondents that included 20 teachers and 162 deaf pupils was used. Data obtained were analysed through descriptive, simple linear regression and content analysis. The study revealed that the use of chaining strategy has significant contribution in developing word recognition ability among deaf pupils in Tanzania. This is because the strategy contributed much in building up major word recognition sub-skills among deaf such as, fingerspelling ability, ability to select specific word from the group of written words, abilities to match words with their corresponding signs, and ability to identify misspelled words. In-turn the subskills contributed to word recognition ability among deaf pupils. The study recommends the government to strengthen on in-service training among teachers for deaf as it will keep teachers updated as far as sign language is concern and on how to effectively apply chaining strategy

Yamanes’ (1973) formula was used to determine a sample of 356 comprising of (40) principals, (40) deputy principals and (272) support staff who were selected by way of the stratified sampling technique. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to collect quantitative and qualitative information from principals and deputy principals, while support staffs provided quantitative and qualitative information through semi-structured interview schedules. Quantitative data collected was analyzed descriptively and inferential statistics generated while qualitative data was analyzed thematically based on the research objectives. The findings show that: work relationships and remuneration had the Pearsons’ correlation coefficient (R) of .724 and .678 respectively. The R² computed yielded values of .524 and .460 for working relationships and remuneration respectively suggesting that working relationships explained 52.4% of work performance of support staff while remuneration explained 46% of work performance. As a result of these findings, it was concluded that working conditions (work relationships and remuneration) moderately but positively influenced work performance of support staff in public secondary schools in Nakuru County. These findings are particularly important to School Boards of Management and the Ministry of Education who can utilize them to enhance work performance of support staff by enriching their working conditions. Further research to develop schemes of service for support staff across all public secondary schools is recommended in order to bolster their work performance

Authors: Ferreyra Susana , Gamarra-Luques Carlos , Camargo Alejandra , Fontana Ariel
Published: September 2024

Aim: In the present study, bunch stem and cane extracts (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Malbec) rich in phenolic compounds (PCs) like flavonoids, phenolic acids, and stilbenes are studied as potential anticancer candidates.
Methods: Twenty-three PCs were quantified by liquid chromatography-diode array fluorescence detection (LC-DAD-FLD). In vitro cytotoxic activity of both extracts on healthy (HBL-100) and colorectal cancer (HCT-116) human cell lines was assessed by 3-(4,5-di-methylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) reduction assay.
Results: Cane extract did not show cytotoxic effect for the tested lines, which can be considered as an advantage for its application in the pharmaceutical industry. Conversely, the bunch stem extract showed a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect on HCT-116 and an IC50 of 680 µg/mL after 48 h of incubation; but not reported cytotoxic activity on the healthy cell line, evidencing a beneficial selective activity. The reported results encourage further investigation of these extracts as potential preventive and/or therapeutic drugs, or their combined use with chemotherapeutic treatments that lead to a potential dose reduction.
Conclusions: The results preliminarily demonstrated that the extracts have potential anticancer properties or do not cause damage at the cellular level, encouraging their application as functional/nutraceutical or phytotherapeutic agents.

For dealing with systems of Fractional Differential Equations (FDEs), the primary goal of this work is to offer several graphical comparisons performed with the use of specific recent adjustments of the so-called Fractional Euler Method (FEM). These numerical adjustments are the Modified FEM (or MFEM) and Improved Modified FEM (or IMFEM) coupled with the FEM itself. This would reveal the best approximate solution to the fractional-order system consisting of FDEs in comparison with its exact solution.

У даній статті розглядаються змістовні характеристики терміну «комунікація». Зазначається, що релігійна комунікація, в першу чергу, це взаємодія між комунікаторами для отримання певної інформації чи, з іншого боку, переконання іншого. В статті підкреслено, що для того щоб комунікація відбулася, потрібні два, інколи три, комунікатори. Також автором визначені основні ознаки релігійної комунікації та її функції і критерії ефективності релігійної комунікації. У дослідженні анонсовано ряд рекомендацій, які можуть покращити релігійну комунікацію та перераховані застереження, яких потрібно дотримуватися, оскільки релігійна комунікація поліконфесійна і в ній є ряд табу щодо використання різноманітних релігійних термінів.

Authors: Sukarta Made Andy Pradana , Dananjaya Ida Bagus Gede , Setyastrini Ni Luh Putri
Published: September 2024

As professionals, Tax Consultants and their employees within a Tax Consulting Office (KKP) provide education, development, and thorough planning to ensure the successful implementation of tax obligations. Differences in opinions between taxpayers and fiscal authorities also represent situations where Tax Consultants and their employees cannot escape role stress in their jobs. This is due to boundary-spanning activities (BSA) that are highly susceptible to role stress. The experienced stress can trigger discomfort at work, thus increasing the desire to change jobs and seek other employment alternatives. In this context, turnover intentions can be triggered by role stress. The population in this study includes all Tax Consultants working at the Tax Consulting Offices (KKP) in Bali Province who hold a practice license. The sample was selected using the purposive sampling method. The selection criteria for the sample members were: (1) active status not limited by position, whether as Partner, Manager/Assistant Manager, Supervisor, or Junior Consultant; (2) a minimum of one year of employment. Primary data was gathered through questionnaires and then processed using SPSS statistical software to determine whether hypotheses were rejected or accepted. The variables used in the study will each be detailed in indicators and subsequently transformed into questionnaire items in the research instrument. Data collection involved questionnaires followed by validity and reliability tests. The data analysis technique used was multiple linear regression. The study's findings indicate that tax consultants' intentions to leave their jobs are affected by role conflict, role ambiguity, and role overload, partially and simultaneously.
