Environmental Consequences of Soil Erosion
Authors: Golubović Tatjana D.
Published: December 2021

Soil is one of the most valuable natural resources. Despite soil importance, the pressures on soil have increased in recent decades. Soil degradation is a critical and growing problem, whereby soil erosion presents a prevailing process compared to other degradative processes. The intensity of erosion depends on the topography, climate conditions, soil characteristics, human activities, and the presence of vegetation. In this chapter, the diverse factors that cause soil erosion have been evaluated. The level of damage associated with soil erosion has been analyzed, with emphasis on the impacts they may have on the global carbon cycle, phosphorus loss, dust emissions, eutrophication, and soil biodiversity.
The Importance of Proper Dam Maintenance Due to the Increase of Torrential Floods in the Face of Climate Change
Authors: Gassner Vesela Tanaskovic
Published: December 2021

In this chapter, the author discusses the importance of mitigation and adaptation actions needed to be taken from an environmental and engineering standpoint in regards to dams, reservoirs they form, the river basins they serve, and how this can benefit these systems in the future. One of the main problems identified for the mid-21st century will be the availability of fresh water. Currently, appx. 20% of the world's freshwater is stored in manmade reservoirs. However, these reservoirs sediment over time. This “sediment phenomena'' adversely affects the water volume in reservoirs and their sustainable maintenance, potentially jeopardizing water supply and lives. To answer the “sediment phenomena,'' this chapter will explore a new approach to a no less devastating problem of land degradation, developed at the Technical University of Vienna. In the Balkan region, sediments are mostly composed of alluvial soil, decomposing organic matter, and sands, making them indeed a perfect soil amendment for degraded lands and barren topsoil terrains destroyed during torrential floods and landslides.
Response of Erosion to Environmental and Climate Changes During the Anthropocene Within the Endorheic System of Mhabeul, Southeastern Tunisia
Authors: Essefi Elhoucine , Hajji Soumaya
Published: December 2021

This chapter aimed to investigate the record of climatic and environmental change in the sedimentary filling of sebkha Mhabeul and their effect on hydric and eolian erosion within the wetland and its watershed. Along a 37 cm core, the sedimentary, geochemical, and geophysical signals at the Holocene-Anthropocene transition were followed. Sampling was carried out each 1 cm to obtain 37 samples. All studied parameters and clustering techniques indicate that the first 7 cm represent the Anthropocene strata. According to the age model, this upper part of the core records the last 300 yrs. The sedimentary record of the Anthropocene is marked by an increasing rate of sedimentation, grain size fining, heavy metals (Pb, Cu, Ni, Mn, and Fe) enrichment, which is related to increased erosion. Other intrinsic parameters such as CE, pH, Na, K, and CaCO3 enhance sediment erodibility. The measurement of the magnetic susceptibility along a 37 cm core collected from the sebkha Mhabeul shows an obvious upward increase related to a high content of heavy metals for the first 7 cm.

Authors: Stouraitis Vasilios , Teles Amaral Daniella , Tsanis Konstantinos , Kyritsis Markos
Published: December 2021

With a focus on South Africa, the chapter presents an examination of servant leadership as a trigger for mission-centric social entrepreneurship in emerging markets. The chapter provides a behavioural tool and handbook towards focusing on mission-centric social entrepreneurship avoiding socially and long-term unsustainable excessive commercialization. Several recurring variables and associations from the literature on servant leadership are explored and discussed in relation to South African social enterprises to validate the argument presented. Using a random sample of 348 local social enterprises, it is seen that gender, “title,” and “options” present an association with servant leadership traits. In addition, it is shown that servant leadership traits presented are associated to the choice of type of social enterprise strategy. The chapter finally presents recommendations for managers and potential social entrepreneurs in emerging markets to achieve sustainability and avoid a mission drift. In addition, further academic research avenues are presented.
Hallmark of Robustness in Frugal Management Techniques
Authors: Prakash Ujwal
Published: December 2021

To maintain continuity of education, school management was confronted with a conflicting situation of mobilizing the student learning process and simultaneously maintaining COVID-19 protocols without having the cushion of using online medium in the village. The mission was accomplished through an extraordinary education delivery system which was non-technical, cost-effective, prudent, and still efficient that would revitalize education by using the existing village resources. This case documents how Utkramit Madhya Vidyalaya achieved this unexpected goal which illustrates how frugal techniques can be effective in any management process if the vision for work remains the centripetal force in the organization.
High Fidelity Co-Teaching Through Collaboration, Varied Co-Teaching Models, and Differentiated Teaching Strategies
Authors: Keeley Randa
Published: December 2021

Co-teaching is a service delivery option for students receiving special education services that is characterized by the presence of both a general education and special education teacher providing support in an inclusive classroom. A co-taught classroom can provide access to the general education curriculum to students with disabilities while they are simultaneously being supported by a special education teacher. The inclusion classroom, a classroom in which both students with and without disabilities are instructed, has been suited with the task of upholding the protections put in place by legislation for students with disabilities. A large number of students receiving special education services (64%, approximately 4,600,000) are placed in the general education, inclusion classroom 80-100% of the school day. This chapter will explore the implementation of excellent instructional practices in the inclusion classroom setting to improve outcomes for students with disabilities.

Authors: Terwase Isaac Terungwa , Yusuf Muhammad , Mohammed Abubakar Sambo , Sani Safwan Mikaila
Published: December 2021

The Boko Haram conflict started in Nigeria from a city in the north-eastern part of the country known as Maiduguri in 2009 during the administration of President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua. It was a new thing to Nigeria considering the fact that the country was yet to witness terrorism and its activities. Boko Haram later continued after the death of President Yar'Adua, and they became stronger during the President Jonathan's administration. Boko Haram later transformed from an insurgent group into a terrorist group where they spread from Nigeria to other parts of African countries such as Chad, Niger, and Cameroon. This has it effects, impacts, and consequences on trade in Africa. The objective of this chapter is to draw the impact of terrorism on trade with specific attention to Nigeria and Chad.
Antecedents and Consequences of International Joint Venture Knowledge Acquisition
Authors: Elhachemi Tamma
Published: December 2021

Studies on the establishment of international joint ventures (IJVs) in open-oriented markets as a vehicle for knowledge acquisition have been increasing of late. Drawing on the transaction cost economics theory and the knowledge-based view, the chapter examines the impact of absorptive capacity, transfer mechanisms, knowledge management practices, and environmental uncertainty on knowledge acquisition of IJVs from foreign partners. Further, the author examines IJV innovativeness as a consequence of knowledge acquisition. The author tested the model with data from 122 IJVs in Algeria. By analyzing the data using SPSSv25 and smart PLS 3.0, the findings show that absorptive capacity and transfer mechanisms are positively and significantly related to knowledge acquisition of the IJVs. However, knowledge management practices and environmental uncertainty are not significant. In addition, the relationship between IJV knowledge acquisition and innovativeness is significant.

Published: December 2021

Several strategies are adopted by investors in lowering the risk of investment while maximising its return. Graham's stock selection criteria are noted as one of the best strategies in selecting portfolios by investors. Although the model is universally accepted, it is less commonly practised and examined in emerging markets. Considering the growth of these emerging countries' financial markets, it is worthwhile to investigate the doctrine's effect on investment in these countries. This study endeavours to review the consequence of Graham's stock selection criteria on portfolio returns in the Malaysian and Saudi Arabian stock markets. Each country represents the fastest growing market in their region which justifies this study. The study found that the Malaysian stock market is capable of proffering abnormal returns to investors while the Saudi stock market is capable to offer abnormal returns to investors despite being an undeveloped and immature stock market. The study concludes that the model of stock selection remains beneficial and indeed valuable to regional investments.

Travel Motivations and Travel Careers of Malaysian Backpackers
Authors: Latif Samshul Amry Abdul , Ismail Nuraini , Matniyozov Murodjon , Ramli Mona Fairuz
Published: December 2021

The study's two primary goals are to determine the main travel motives of Malaysian backpackers and to examine the variations in travel motivations across three categories of backpackers: first-time, repeat, and serial. The results were collected using a self-administered online survey adopting a convenience sample technique. The non-normally distributed data were examined using exploratory factor analysis, median score assessment, and Kruskal-Wallis H tests on a sample of 249. Stimulation is the most crucial factor motivating backpackers, while recognition is the least important. The study also found that backpackers' motivation varied with travel experience. Due to limited research on Asian motivational travel determinants, notably among Malaysian backpackers, this study's motivational features are drawn from other countries. Future research should focus on non-Western motivators impacting backpackers. There is a need for more research on Asian tourism, notably Malaysian backpackers at various stages of their travel careers.

Effect of South Asian Free Trade Area Agreement on Economic Growth of the Region
Authors: Peiris T. U. I.
Published: December 2021

South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) is regarded as an undesirable trade agreement merely failing to encourage intra-regional trade expressively. According to the dynamic theory of trade integration, even a trade agreement like SAFTA can enlighten the integrated region's macroeconomic factors and boost economic growth. Therefore, it is essential to consider the dynamic efficiency of SAFTA when assessing its desirability. However, due to the lack of prior studies concentrating on its dynamic efficiency, the assessment of SAFTA is not impeccable. Thus, how macroeconomic factors mediate SAFTA in carrying its economic growth effects are investigated with this study. In this regard, a structural equation model is employed over the period 2003 to 2018. The results confirmed the dynamic efficiency of SAFTA because it leads to stabilizing the region's macroeconomic policies, reducing price distortion, encouraging physical investments, attracting FDIs, and furthering technology transmission. Meanwhile, macroeconomic policy credibility and physical investment are found as the two macroeconomic factors that significantly carry positive growth effects of SAFTA. Therefore, it is recommended to bring SAFTA to its full potential by further reducing tariffs and removing sensitive lists.

Addressing Adherence to Treatment: A Longstanding Concern. The Health Care Professional
Authors: Shah Farrukh
Published: December 2021

Today a patient born with thalassaemia major can expect to have a near normal life expectancy and remain free of complications of iron overload with good monitoring and excellent transfusion and chelation regimes. Unfortunately patients still develop complications as a consequence of iron overload including endocrinopathies and cardiac failure. The main reason behind this failure of effective treatment is inadequate treatment. This can be due to either clinician related factors, patient related factors or lack of adequate provision of medicines and services. In this short paper I will highlight where the challenges lie with regards adherence to treatment and suggest approaches to manage this.

Comparative Study of PUVA and NB-UVB in the Management of Chronic Plaque Psoriasis
Authors: Gnaneshwar Rao Angoori , Jagadevapuram Kranthi
Published: December 2021

Background:

There are independent studies on PUVA and NB-UVB therapy for the treatment of psoriasis, but studies comparing both PUVA and NB-UVB are scarce.

Aim:

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of PUVA and NB-UVB therapy in chronic plaque psoriasis.

Materials and Methods:

Fifty patients of chronic plaque psoriasis of more than 20% of body surface area and of more than 2 years duration with Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) score of more than 10, aged above 12 years, were subjects in the study. PASI score was recorded. Patients were randomly allocated to one of the two groups, each consisting of 25 patients and administered therapy as per protocol: Group A: PUVA—psoralens + UVA or Group B: NB-UVB phototherapy. Therapeutic response of patients was followed up every week and PASI score was calculated at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks.

Observations:

Commonest age group afflicted in both the groups was 31–40 years. There was significant improvement (P-value <0.0001) from baseline to 12th week in patients subjected to PUVA as well as NB-UVB therapy. In the PUVA group, minimum and maximum duration of treatment for PASI 75 was 5 and 11 weeks, respectively, whereas in the NB-UVB group it was 6 and 12 weeks, respectively. In the PUVA group, minimum and maximum number of exposures for PASI 75 was 10 and 22, respectively, and in the NB-UVB group it was 18 and 36, respectively.

Conclusion:

PUVA and NB-UVB are both effective therapies. However, NB-UVB is considered as good, effective, and safer treatment for plaque psoriasis with no or minimal long-term carcinogenic risk, and it can be safely used in children, pregnant women, and in patients with hepatic and renal insufficiency. However, more number of exposures and less energy (joules) are required in NB-UVB to achieve therapeutic target.

Limitations:

The number of cases in the study is less.

Authors: Pathania Vikas , Kothari Rohit , Tripathy Durga M. , Sengupta Prashant , Vashisht Deepak , Shankar Prerna
Published: December 2021

Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a delayed type hypersensitivity reaction to drugs and less commonly infections. The entity represents one end of the spectrum of SJS-TEN (Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis) complex. Together, both conditions contribute to the majority of Severe Cutaneous Drug Reactions (SCARs) with high mortality and morbidity. Clinically, it presents with widespread painful erythematous macules, targetoid lesions, full-thickness or focal epidermal necrosis while mucosal involvement involves oral, genital, and ocular mucous membranes along with preceding prodromal flu like symptoms. While there is no consensus on the treatment of choice, systemic steroids, intravenous immunoglobulin and cyclosporin are most often employed for specific management of SJS-TEN. We report a case of SJS managed with a single dose of etanercept monotherapy.
Management of transsphincteric fistula-in-ano by modified conventional Ksharasutra therapy
Authors: Faridi Khusboo , Sreenadh P. , Mahanta Vyasadeva , Sherkhane Rahul
Published: December 2021

Acharya Sushruta has mentioned Bhagandara (~fistula-in-ano) under Ashtamahagada (~eight conditions that are difficult to manage) on looking to its poor prognosis. It poses great impact in surgical community because of fear of recurrence and fecal incontinence. Complex anal fistulae are more difficult to manage, in spite of many new sphincter preserving techniques evolved. In Ayurveda, Ksharasutra is being practiced for the management of all types of anal fistulae with high success rate since centuries. Modified Conventional Ksharasutra Therapy (MC-KST) is technically modified to control sepsis, promote early healing by intercepting fistulous tract and preserving sphincteric function in cases of complex fistula-in-ano. A 50-year-old male patient of complex anal fistula for 2.5 years visited the outpatient department. The case was operated under local anesthesia by MC-KST technique. Total three sittings of Ksharasutra were done at an interval of a week. The wound was healed completely in 42 days, and no complaints of recurrence were reported in five months of follow-up. It was observed that MC-KST promotes early healing of fistulous tract by facilitating effective drainage and complete eradication of anal gland sepsis.

Published: December 2021

Scrub typhus is often misdiagnosed in febrile patients, leading to antibiotic abuse and multiple complications. We conducted a retrospective record review at the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University in China. Data were collected on 52 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of scrub typhus and complete clinical data. In addition, data were collected on 52 patients with bloodstream infection, 25 patients with HIV infection, 112 patients with common community-acquired pneumonia (CCAP), and 36 patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP) to serve as control groups. The peripheral blood CD4 and CD8 counts, CD4/CD8 ratio, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatinine, and β2 microglobulin levels; and the white blood cell count and neutrophil percentage were compared between the scrub typhus and the control groups. The value of these biomarkers in the diagnosis of scrub typhus was assessed using receiver–operating characteristic curve analysis. The scrub typhus group had a significantly lower CD4 count and CD4/CD8 ratio than the bloodstream infection, CCAP, and SCAP groups, and a significantly greater CD4 count and CD4/CD8 ratio than the HIV infection group. In contrast, the scrub typhus group had a significantly greater CD8 count than the bloodstream infection and CCAP and SCAP groups, and it had a lower level of CD8 than the HIV infection group. The areas under the curve of CD4/CD8 were more than 0.93 in the receiver–operating characteristic curve analysis. These findings suggest that the CD4/CD8 ratio is a useful ancillary test for diagnosing scrub typhus.

DETECÇÃO DE ANOMALIAS DE CONSUMO DE ÁGUA ATRAVÉS DE AUTOMAÇÃO PREDIAL
Authors: Sampaio Barbosa Lucas , Chaves Coelho leite Brenda
Published: December 2021

RESUMO: Diante de perspectivas bastante pessimistas a respeito da disponibilidade dos recursos hídricos nas próximas décadas e da tecnologia disponível atualmente, deve-se lançar mão dessas tecnologias com vistas ao uso eficiente da água. A NBR 16782 (ABNT, 2019) propõe que os edifícios possuam um gestor de água, alguém, entre outras funções, seja responsável por acompanhar o consumo de água da edificação, identificar possíveis desvios neste consumo e conduzir a tomada de decisões para corrigir essas anomalias. Este artigo descreve uma lógica para o uso da automação predial como uma ferramenta no auxílio na detecção de anomalias no consumo de água. A partir da integração entre um sistema de automação predial já existente e os hidrômetros também já existentes, é proposta a implementação de lógicas de alarme que levam em consideração o histórico de consumo dos últimos cinco dias úteis para identificar desvios na demanda de água dentro de janelas de 15 minutos. Essa lógica pode ser útil para a tomada de decisões do gestor de águas sem necessariamente investir em novos equipamentos.

İlahi Dinlerde Oruç: Kaynağı, Amacı ve Uygulanışı Bakımından Karşılaştırmalı Bir İnceleme
Authors: AY Rahim
Published: December 2021

Bu makalenin konusu oruç ibadeti, amacı ise ilahi dinlerde orucun kaynak, amaç ve uygulanış biçimleri bakımından incelenerek benzer ve farklı yönlerin tespit edilmesidir. Oruç sadece Yahudilik, Hıristiyanlık ve İslam gibi ilahi dinlerde değil, kurumsallaşmış bütün dünya dinlerinde mevcuttur. Orucun diğer bazı dini ritüellerden farkı vardır. Dinlerde oruç hem insanın günahlardan arınması ve erdemli bir ahlaka kavuşması hem de din mensuplarının ortak acı ve sevinçlerinin hatırlanması ve bundan ders çıkarılması için önem arz etmektedir. Yahudilikte orucun daha çok sosyal ve tarihi yönü öne çıkmaktadır. Hıristiyanlıkta riyazet ve kendini kötülüklerden sakınma boyutu baskındır. Hıristiyanlıkta aynı zamanda susma da orucun bir şekli olarak işlevseldir. İslam’da oruç kişinin kötülüklerden sakınmasını sağlama amacı taşıdığı gibi sosyal hayatta empati yapmaya da yardımcı olur. Kur’an, orucun önceki toplumlarda da mevcut olduğunu belirterek ilahi dinlerdeki ortak amaçlı oruca vurgu yapmaktadır. Bu çalışmada orucun üç dindeki amacı, kaynakları, uygulama şekilleri ve çeşitleri ele alınmıştır. İslam’da orucun uygulanışına dair birçok kural vardır. Ancak biz konu kapsam ve sınırlılığımız gereği orucun fıkhi yönünün ayrıntılarına girmedik.

Published: December 2021

Depression is a state of reduced psychophysical activity that is accompanied by various changes in cognitive, emotional and social functioning. Previous studies have found that depression leads to changes in the recognition of the emotions of others, makes it difficult to direct attention and significantly impairs visual memory. The main goal of this research is to examine the relations between depressive symptoms and visual memory of specific stimuli that show emotions. We also want to examine whether the intensity of depressive symptoms is related to longer reaction time in the experimental task, as well as whether the accuracy of the emoticon’s visual memory depends on the set size. The research was conducted on a sample of 84 participants, students of Faculty of Philosophy in Banja Luka (90% female). The PHQ-9 questionnaire was used to assess depressive symptoms. Visual memory task was created in SuperLab 4.1. for Windows.The results show that there is a partial contribution of moderate depression to the accuracy of emoticon memory with sadness expression. No partial contribution of any category of depression to the memory accuracy of emoticons with the expression of happiness has been determined. A statistically significant negative correlation for the category of “sad” stimuli was obtained between the expression of depressive symptoms and the response time in the experimental task, while no statistically significant correlation was obtained for the second category of stimuli. It was also found that the number of errors increases with the set size. These results can be explained by negative bias and cognitive load in information processing. Key words: visual memory, depression, emoticons, expression of happiness, expression of sadness
EFEKAT FACIJALNE EKSPRESIJE EMOCIJA, TIPA I NIVOA MOĆI NA ZAKLJUČIVANJE O DOMINANTNOSTI OPAŽENE OSOBE
Authors: Đorić Stefan
Published: December 2021

Drawing inferences of the perceived dominance of individuals is an important process which helps to regulate social interaction. Existing research indicates that inferences of the dominance of social actors can be drawn based on various social cues, including facial expression of emotion. While perceived anger usually leads to an inference of high, and perceived sadness of low dominance, perceived happiness does not create such unambiguous impressions. To achieve a clearer image, the bases and level of perceived power, specifically reward power and expertise power, were taken into consideration, both of which could be either high or low. The study included 100 participants (women = 71), first and second year psychology students. The within subject 3x2x2 design was used with Expression (happiness vs. anger vs. sadness) x Bases of power (reward power vs. expert power) x Level of power (high vs. low). Dominance was a dependent variable operationalized through the semantic differential scale. The stimuli were photographs of faces, controlled for gender and age, which displayed the aforementioned facial expressions. In the case of reward power, a significant expressed emotion x level of power interaction emerged. In the case of expert power, there was only signifficant main effect of facial expression on dominance perception. The findings were analyzed according to the various expectations of the participants, formed during the process of socialization. It could be concluded that for more insight into the mechanism which lies at the core of the effect that facial expression of emotions has on perceived dominance, the profession of the perceived individual also needs to be taken into consideration. Key words: facial expression, bases of power, level of power, dominance
Responsive Regulierung für den homo oeconomicus institutionalis – Ökonomische Verhaltenstheorie in der Verhältnismäßigkeitsprüfung
Authors: Bizer Kilian , Führ Martin
Published: December 2021

The starting point of the research project was the hypothesis that the "principle of proportionality", which is fundamental to law, is related to the "economic principle". The resulting methodological similarities were intended to enable a cross-disciplinary bridge to be built, which would allow the findings of economic analysis to be made fruitful for legal issues. This was practically tested in three study areas in order to be able to better classify the performance of the analytical tools. The foundations for interdisciplinary bridge building are found in the rational-choice paradigm. In both disciplines, this paradigm calls for an examination of the relationship between the purpose-means-relations: among the design options under consideration, the one must be selected that is expected to be as (freedom- or resource-) sparing as possible, in other words, the most "waste-free" solution to the control problem.The results of the economic analysis can thus be "translated" in such a way that, within the framework of "necessity", they support the search for control instruments that are equivalent to the objective but less disruptive. supports. The core of the positive economic analysis is the motivational situation of those actors whose behavior is to be influenced by a changed legal framework. In this context, the classical behavioral model of economics proved to be too limited. It therefore had to be developed further in line with the findings of research in institutional economics into homo oeconomicus institutionalis. This behavioral model takes into account not only the consequentialist, strictly situational utility orientation of the model person, but also other factors influencing behavior, including above all those that are institutionally mediated. If one takes the motivational situation of the actors as the starting point for policy-advising design recommendations, it becomes apparent that an understanding of governance dominated by imperative behavioral specifications leads to less favorable results, both in terms of the degree to which goals are achieved and in terms of the freedom-impairing effects, than a mixed-instrument approach oriented toward the model of "responsive regulation." According to this model, the law can no longer simply assume that those subject to the law will "obediently" execute the legal commands. It must ask itself what other factors determine behavior and under what boundary conditions changes can be expected in the direction of the desired behavior. For this reason, too, it must engage with the cognitive program of the behavioral sciences. This linkage opens up new perspectives for interdisciplinary research on the consequences of laws.

Abstract

Social innovation is a relatively recent construct in the scientific literature in the field of marketing and has recently been considered an essential construct to achieve a higher level of sustainable performance in manufacturing companies, particularly in small and medium-sized companies. However, despite the importance of small and medium-sized enterprises in any country in the world, there are relatively few theoretical and empirical studies that have focused on the analysis and discussion of the relationship between social innovation and sustainable performance. in small and medium-sized companies, and there are even fewer studies that relate these two constructs to innovation management, especially in developing countries, such as Mexico. Therefore, the essential objective of this study is the analysis and discussion of the relationship between innovation management, social innovation and sustainable performance in small and medium-sized companies, for which a sample of 300 companies and the analysis of structural equations. The results obtained show the existence of a positive and significant relationship between innovation management and social innovation and sustainable performance, and between social innovation and sustainable performance.

Keywords: Innovation management, social innovation, Sustainable performance, SMEs.

By discovering and assessing articles in social sciences, this research explores the various aspects of current extracurricular activities research to further understand the knowledge base of this topic. The primary purpose of this study is to analyse the last 20 years of extracurricular activities research published in the Scopus database. VOSviewer software was used to perform bibliometric analysis such as co-occurrence, bibliographic coupling and co-authorship. Microsoft Excel was utilised to generate the tables and graphs in this paper. The analysis resulted in some interesting information which includes the steady growth of publications in extracurricular activities research that strongly indicates that it is still a trending topic and worth to be explored further. The Journal of Youth and Adolescence and the United States of America are the top journal and country that have contributed to this field of research, respectively. The analysis shows that the author key concepts are changing proportionally and apart from academic accomplishment and social capital that remain as the foci of interest, the adolescence developments is increasingly significant for future extracurricular activities research as well. This study also highlights the collaborative research networks of extracurricular activities among the authors across the globe. Consequently, it provides the opportunity to build networks among multiple countries that have significantly contributed to this area of research globally. As this is one of the initial Scopus databased bibliometric literature review on extracurricular activities, its contributions are not only on addressing the conceptual or contextual gaps for researchers that are interested in this discipline, but hopefully it will also be able to highlight some prospective areas that could be further explored in the near future.
