Through My Voice: Statements at the United Nations, 2016 - 2021
Authors: Matjila Jerry Matthews
Published: March 2024

The texts of Ambassador Matjila's statements and speeches below are taken from official UN documents (Minutes of meetings) available in the Dag Hammarskjöld Library and are reproduced as they appear, without the Protocol references commonly used in such circumstances and instances. They were used with the permission of the Department of International Relations and Cooperation as sought by Ambassador Matjila. As is recognised in international law, the will of the State, an international legal entity, is expressed through its representatives, physical persons occupying special positions within the State and giving a face to its organs. Thus, these interventions made by the Ambassador to express the position of the Republic of South Africa on the issues under consideration. It is indeed in his capacity of Permanent Representative of South Africa that he was called upon to make these interventions. The work is devoid of any theoretical or doctrinal claim. It is intended to be more informative. This is why it is not accompanied by doctrinal commentaries, nor, consequently, by references to scientific references. The book aspires to be exhaustive, so there was no need to limit or choose the texts that should appear here. To make it a practical and easy-to-use tool, the chronological classification by organ has been preferred to the thematic classification. In the United Nations archiving system, interventions before the Main Committees other than the First Committee are not reproduced in full. only a simple summary is offered. these summaries are also contained in this work and are recognisable by the fact that the name of the Ambassador is quoted at the beginning of the summary. the same applies to interventions made before the Economic and Social Council. The work is divided into 4 parts: the first focuses on statements made before the General Assembly, the second concern the statements before the Economic and Social Council, the third, statements before the Security Council and the last part gathers the presidential statements made during the South African presidency of the Council and the resolutions adopted by the Council after South Africa's sponsorship. It is hoped that as a coffee table book, this collection will help enrich research and discussion about African contributions to the content of multilateralism at the United Nations. The photos inserted at the end of the work show a slice of life and activity of the Ambassador during his stay in New York. While they are also in the public domain, they come from Ambassador Matjila’s private collections, unless otherwise stated in the caption of each photo.
Failure Factors among Entrepreneurs in Zambia: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: - Sidney Kawimbe
Published: March 2024

Causes of entrepreneurship failure is a new field of research, especially in Zambia. Indeed, few studies have set out to study it, few studies have set themselves the objective of studying it. This article aims to explain the failure of newly created enterprises, focusing on small businesses. Small businesses constitute the absolute majority of the businesses that make up the Zambian economic fabric. Similarly, studies have shown that the first five years, which corresponds to the start- up period, represent the duration beyond which the majority of the businesses created do not manage to survive. A total of 25 peer reviewed journal articles and other publications were reviewed in order to obtain clear understanding of business failure causes. Journal articles extracted from Goggle scholar, Research gate, Semantic Scholar and JSTOR formed the literature review. The analysis has raised several conclusions that can help to better understand of this type of failure. Small businesses disappear suddenly for several reasons, in particular the lack of entrepreneurship training prior to starting an enterprise, lack of knowledge of available opportunities for business and inability for budding entrepreneurs to take calculated risks rank among the key causes of entrepreneurial failure

Published: March 2024

The National Education Policy (NEP) of India launched in 2020 has generated significant discussions on the changes needed in the higher education system of the country to transform India into a knowledge-based economy, NEP proposes several reforms in the education sector including changes in curriculum pedagogy and assessment methods. One important aspect of any NEP is its potential impact on various industries, particularly the tourism sector and if the things are recollected then its experience is based on previous education policies, the focus of higher education was more on creating knowledge societies, thereafter stress shifted on balancing the knowledge content with real life requirement of skills to make the students of higher education system more employable as skill development and education is the need of the hour. In NEP 2020 various strategies are also mentioned for the proper implementation of tourism education by way of enhancing collaboration with industry, internship programs, inculcating major skills, developing technology within the curriculum, and many more but there are various issues in implementing NEP. This paper focuses on understanding the implementation of NEP in the context of tourism education and vocational education in the tourism sector specifically and skill-based vocational education in general in the higher education system of India through quantitative research methods. This research provides valuable insights for stakeholders in the higher education and tourism sectors on the impact of NEP implementation on the tourism industry in M.P.

Integrating Student Reasoning and Mathematics in Instruction: A New Research Perspective
Authors: - Rajeev N. J , - Vijayalakshmi Naik
Published: March 2024

Traditional mathematics education prioritizes content transmission, often overlooking the intricate ways students’ reasoning and understanding are constructed. This research perspective proposes Integrating Student Reasoning and Mathematics in Instruction (ISRMI) as a novel approach that centers student thinking, integrating it seamlessly with formal mathematical concepts and procedures. ISRMI emphasizes tasks promoting explanation and justification, enabling educators to uncover and build upon existing student reasoning patterns. By challenging teacher-centered knowledge transfer, ISRMI empowers students to apply reasoning skills to solve problems, ultimately fostering deeper conceptual understanding and motivation in learning mathematics. While potential challenges lie in teacher training, curriculum design, and assessment of student reasoning, the potential benefits of improved problem-solving, engagement, and critical thinking skills necessitate further exploration and development of effective ISRMI implementation strategies.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The research questions of this study are pursued using a systematic research analysis. We stress the importance of advancing research on integrating student reasoning and mathematics in instruction. We discuss many methods for incorporating student reasoning and mathematics into classroom instruction. We conducted this research by systematically searching and screening for relevant research articles through secondary sources and analyzing them to answer our scientific question. This research is a descriptive study. Secondary data was collected from various sources, such as magazines, journals, other publications, etc. This data was then analyzed and reviewed for inferences and conclusions.
Findings/Result: Integrating student reasoning and mathematics in instruction can be the foundation for building a common locus between mathematics and reasoning abilities in educational practice.

On the other hand, the impact of regional financial effectiveness on GRDP in East Kalimantan is both positive and statistically insignificant. Similarly, regional financial independence has a direct but statistically minor impact on East Kalimantan's Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP). The number of financial resources and the effectiveness of financial operations at the regional level have a direct and considerable impact on poverty rates in East Kalimantan. In contrast, establishing financial independence in a specific area has a big and detrimental impact on poverty in East Kalimantan. The Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) has a substantial impact on poverty levels in East Kalimantan. The competence, effectiveness, and independence of regional finances have an impact on the Gross Regional Domestic Product, which in turn affects the relationship between regional finances and poverty in East Kalimantan.
