Published: December 2024

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of peer tutoring on the mathematical problem-solving performance of Grade 10 students in a public school in Cebu City during S.Y. 2021-2022. Utilizing a single-group pre-test and post-test research design, the study assessed the impact of peer tutoring on selected students' problem-solving performance in mathematics. Participants were chosen based on their math performance, and peer tutoring was conducted in a one-on-one tutor-tutee format. Two research tools were used: a Learner’s Questionnaire to gather students’ profiles and perceptions of the peer tutoring sessions and a Learners’ Achievement Test to measure their mathematical problem-solving performance. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyze the data. Descriptive statistics, including weighted means and Likert scales, were used to summarize the students’ perceptions, while a z-test and paired t-test were used to compare pre-test and post-test scores. The results showed a significant improvement in the students' mathematical problem-solving abilities after the peer tutoring intervention, with a significant increase in their post-test scores. Furthermore, students perceived peer tutoring as highly beneficial in enhancing their understanding and ability to solve math problems. Based on these findings, it is recommended that educators utilize peer tutoring as an instructional strategy to improve students' mathematical problem-solving skills.

INFLUENCE OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON SCHOOL GOING CHILDREN IN KENYA - A REVIEW PAPER ON THE CASE OF BUNGOMA-WEST SUB-COUNTY, BUNGOMA COUNTY, KENYA
Authors: Pius Simiyu Chililia
Published: December 2024

COVID-19 has impacted entire nations worldwide, and Kenya was hit the hardest by the pandemic economically, socially, and even politically. This review paper concentrates on social effects, specifically examining the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on school-going children in Bungoma West Sub County, Bungoma County. The reporting of the confirmed first COVID-19 disease case on 14th March 2020 forced the government of Kenya to close down all learning institutions. This action caused a significant negative impact on the school-going children in most households, particularly in Bungoma West. The poor, vulnerable, and marginalized groups could not access education through only remote learning by The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD). This only benefitted children from well-off families in urban centres, excluding those from vulnerable and poor households. The gap in the inequality in the provision of education widened. Financial inadequacy made the government fail to fund school-related services such as capitation, food and learning materials. House confinement impoverished parents financially. Most children never have access to equitable, all-inclusive, and quality education. Many suffered from psycho-sociological challenges. This review paper examines the challenges school-going children face, gives the way forward, and proposes solutions to future crises, if any.

Authors: Yeng Enock , Tatsi Samuel , Dwamena Emmanuel
Published: December 2024

This study comprehensively examines the human resource management practices implemented by administrators in private schools within the Ayawaso West Municipality of the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. It specifically highlights the critical aspects of academic staff recruitment, appraisal, and training. Utilizing the Resource-Based View (RBV), Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, and Human Capital Theory, a robust quantitative approach was adopted, gathering data through structured questionnaires completed by 100 respondents, including both school administrators and teachers. The analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, such as frequencies and percentages, to effectively assess respondents' perceptions of various human resource practices. The findings compellingly demonstrate that effective human resource strategies involve the provision of comprehensive orientation and induction programs, targeted on-the-job training, and systematic training needs assessments. Moreover, recruitment and selection processes are enhanced by offering study leaves for further education, promoting initiative among teachers, and establishing a clearly defined reward management philosophy. Additionally, the study reveals that appraisal and training are strengthened through performance feedback, guidance and counseling services, and support with academic matters. Based on these findings, it is recommended, among others, that school administrators elevate their human resource strategies by incorporating continuous professional development opportunities and cultivating supportive work environments, both of which are essential for enhancing staff performance and retention.

A REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND ITS EXPLOITATION IN THE EDUCATIONAL FIELD
Authors: Spiliopoulou Georgia , Koustourakis Gerasimos
Published: December 2024

This work aims, through an approach to recent scientific literature, to highlight the effect of the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in today’s educational field. From the analysis of the content of the relevant scientific literature, it appears that AI can help teachers in designing appropriate learning programs focusing on the needs of their students at an individual and collective level. In this case, using AI, a variety of learning activities can be created by the teachers with the aim of creating a supportive learning environment for the students, which will help them to better understand, as well as deepen, the material of the various knowledge areas of the curriculum. The integration of AI in both live and distance education can offer significant benefits, such as the transformation of the traditional teaching methods applied, such as the lecture, with the aim of enhancing the learning experience. Furthermore, from the content of scientific studies, both the creation of social inequalities and the emergence of an ethical concern regarding the educational use of AI, which is linked to the violation of the privacy and personal data of the people who use it in the context of their learning effort, emerge. However, the future of education seems to be linked to the necessity of reshaping the educational content through a broad and multi-level utilization of AI in it. And this is in order to shape the conditions for "meeting" the individual learning needs of the students.

Authors: Koutsovasili Martha , Katsora Konstantina , Kaprinis Stylianos
Published: December 2024

Social justice in education refers to the commitment of schools to safeguard the rights of all students, to combat discrimination and inequality, and to provide equitable opportunities in an inclusive environment. The purpose of the study was to explore the correlation between teachers' perceptions of social justice and their self-efficacy in promoting and implementing effective inclusion of all students with disabilities. In addition, the study investigated whether demographic factors and teachers' professional profiles influence their attitudes about social justice and teaching self-efficacy. The research sample comprised of 172 primary and secondary school teachers. For the purposes of the study, the (a) Social Justice Scale - SJS (Torres-Harding, Siers & Olson, 2012), (b) Teaching Students with Disability Efficacy-TSDES (Dawson & Scott, 2013) were utilized. The study concluded that teachers demonstrate positive attitudes towards the implementation of social justice in the educational process. Educators with high levels of social sensitivity demonstrated greater ability to support children with disabilities as well as optimal guidance of all students to facilitate inclusion, and simultaneously, demonstrated greater professionalism in implementing this policy. It also emerged that female educators had more positive attitudes and showed greater sensitivity regarding the importance of implementing social justice, while younger teachers appear to be overall more positive compared to older teachers. The most important factor that influences perceptions and attitudes on social justice is specialized studies in special education. Spearman correlation coefficient showed a strong positive correlation between the positive attitudes of teachers towards social justice and their teaching self-efficacy. Linear regression analysis, showed that perceived social behavioral control and the intention of future social justice implementation are firmly indicative of high effectiveness in effectively promoting and implementing behavioral practices. The study highlights the importance for educational institutions to incorporate social justice education into curricula and promote the use of equitable and effective educational practices to address inequities.

HEAT TRANSFER ANALYSIS AND TURBULENCE MODELS INVESTIGATION OF NUCLEATE BOILING FLOW IN NUCLEAR REACTOR APPLICATION
Authors: Ali Magdi Saad Farag , Ali Hani Saed Faraj
Published: December 2024

Boiling water exhibits an exceptionally high heat transfer coefficient, making it a valuable tool across numerous applications. However, once the heat flux surpasses a certain elevated threshold, the heated surface can no longer sustain continuous liquid contact. This is associated with a significant decline in heat transfer efficiency. The result may be a sudden spike in surface temperature within a heat flux-controlled system, or a dramatic decrease in power transferred in a temperature-controlled system. In the present study, the heat flux has been investigated in a circular channel heated by two roads. Parameters with emphasis on water flow velocity correlated with different heat transfer values from the roads. The methodology contains both laboratory experiments and a simulation model. The obtained results indicate that different heating surfaces play an important role in boiling heat transfer. Also, there is a clear relationship between the water flow and surface temperature. The amount of absorbed temperature increases by about 13% in a flow of 0.45 m/s. while in the water flow velocity 0.89 m/s and 1.34 m/s vary to 16.3% and17% respectively. The other impressive result is the phenomenon of alternate water temperature values due to certain regional temperatures. It's observed that there is a difference in heat absorption based on the amount of heat flux from the surface. The general rate of heat flux in the system was 6736.557 W/1°C for each square meter of heat generation. The obtained information is useful in controlling the boiling water reactor from sudden shutdown and also in controlling the boundaries in the design phase.

The results showed that the total amount of DSW is 10 tons/day The composition of DSW includes organic matter (67.52%), inorganic matter (22.13%) and hazardous waste (0.32%). Ba Be district currently has only 4/16 communes and towns with incinerators, 01 centralized waste treatment area in Banh Trach commune, with a capacity of 500 kg/h, only receiving DSW from Cho Ra town and some villages in neighboring communes. Rural DSW is mainly collected and treated simply by manual burning, or buried in the garden of the household. The rate of collected and treated rural DSW is only 50%. Although the local government has made great efforts in the DSW management, however the DSW management still has many shortcomings such as lack of human resources and equipment for collection and labor protection; many localities do not have DSW collection points and have not yet implemented environmental protection fees for DSW; rural DSW has not been effectively treated. Source-based DSW classification has not been implemented in communes and there is still no mandatory mechanism.

Published: December 2024

The issues related to the execution of industrial relations court decisions often involve delays in implementing decisions and resistance from employers that can postpone or avoid the execution of decisions. Additionally, discrepancies between court rulings and field implementation frequently occur due to inadequate law enforcement and weak supervision. The research questions in this study are: How do the principles of substantive justice and procedural justice apply to the implementation of industrial relations court decisions? And what are the challenges and solutions in the implementation of industrial relations court decisions? This research is classified as normative legal research. The approach used in this research is the statute approach. Data collection is conducted through literature study, and data analysis is performed descriptively. Substantive justice requires that industrial relations court decisions reflect a fair distribution of rights and obligations, such as compensation and the restoration of rights for workers unfairly dismissed. Procedural justice emphasizes an equitable and transparent decision-making process, which is related to the effective implementation of decisions. Major challenges in implementing decisions include delays, employer resistance, and discrepancies in implementation, while solutions involve strengthening law enforcement, simplifying legal processes, education, socialization, and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms.
Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) stocks in South American waters and its implications for fishery management
Authors: Wöhler Otto C. , Martínez Patricia A. , Troccoli Gonzalo H. , Di Marco Emiliano J.
Published: December 2024

Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) is a highly prized resource in markets due to the quality of its meat. The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) implemented controls and regulations in response to the sharp rise in the illegal fishing of D. eleginoides in the 1990s. Today, four fisheries in waters close to the southern tip of South America are managed in accordance with stringent sustainability standards. Even though they are separate management units, both abundance assessments and annual catch allocations are conducted using different criteria regarding stock considerations across the region, leaving one of the fundamental premises of fisheries management unclear. This study examines historical data and recent research to explore the potential differentiation between Patagonian toothfish populations in South American waters, which is crucial for the management of diverse fisheries. Genetic studies, otolith microchemistry, morphometry, parasitic fauna, tagging programs, reproductive characteristics, and the impact of ocean circulation on dispersal and recruitment were analyzed. Tagging studies in the southern hemisphere oceans confirm the species’ affinity to specific habitats, suggesting minimal fish exchange between South American fishing grounds. From a fisheries perspective, this review suggests the existence of distinct stocks of the species structured along the shelf and slope of the southern cone of America based on reproduction areas along the continental shelves and slope, the diverse parasitic fauna, the variability in stable isotopes and trace elements of otoliths, and the little significant exchange of fish between current fishing grounds. All of this could lead to considering the D. eleginoides fishery as independent exploitation units.

Dalam implementasinya, penyederhanaan birokrasi dapat diartikan sebagai upaya untuk mengurangi kompleksitas dan meningkatkan efisiensi dalam proses administratif serta struktur organisasi pemerintah, dengan tujuan akhir untuk menciptakan pemerintahan yang lebih responsif dan akuntabel. Di sisi lain, dialog kinerja adalah proses komunikasi serta umpan balik antara atasan dan bawahan untuk menghasilkan sebuah solusi atas permasalahanyang terjadi di lingkungan unit kerja yang sekaligus penyatuan atas saran atas penetapan tujuan, dan pengembangan kompetensi pegawai.
 
Dalam pelaksanaanya, pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian melalui pendekatan kualitatif melalui kuesioner yang disebarkan kepada pegawai ASN dilingkungan Kementerian Koordinator Bidang Kemaritian dan Investasi (Kemenko Marves) secara internal. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan regresi linear berganda untuk menguji pengaruh variabel independen (penyederhanaan birokrasi dan dialog kinerja) terhadap variabel dependen (kinerja pegawai).
 
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyederhanaan birokrasi memiliki pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kinerja pegawai ASN. Sehingga hal ini menunjukkan bahwa kombinasi antara penyederhanaan birokrasi dan dialog kinerja menunjukan peningkatan signifikan atas  kinerja pegawai ASN di Kemenko Marves. Pemerintah disarankan untuk terus mengimplementasikan kebijakan penyederhanaan birokrasi serta memperkuat praktik dialog kinerja guna meningkatkan efisiensi, efektivitas, dan akuntabilitas pelayanan publik.

Published: December 2024

This research discusses the coordination process and also the dynamics occuring in coordination in the 2024 PresidentialKGeneral Election (Pilpres). In the development of the arrangement, there has been organized ups and downs, so that the coalition pendulum cannot last long. The organization is also accompanied by a renewal of the position received as a vice presidential candidate (cawapres) from the new partner he joins. The thereshold provisions (presidential threshold) also influence the movement of the pendulum in its formation, from presidential election to presidential elections, and the threshold for presidential and vice presidential nominations changes. The threshold for presidential and vice presidential candidacy was first implemented in the 2024 elections, coinciding with the first time Indonesia held direct presidential elections. Five years before or in the 2009 Presidential Election, the size of the Presidential Threshold was no longer changed until the 2024. Simultaneous General Election, this was followed by changes to the Election Law (UU). At the time, presidential and vice presidential candidates coult be nominated by political parties or combinations of political parties that had at least 25 percent of the seats in the People;s Representative Council (DPR) or 20 percent of the national valid votes in the Legislative Election. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with an instrumental case study approach to explain the case used, namely the dynamics of the meeting leading up to the 2024 presintial election. This case palys a supportive role, which facilitates understanding of other interests, such as helping to reveal the basis for building interpersonal relationships political parties.
The Spatiotemporal Patterns and Drivers of Kidnappings for Ransom in Ethiopia
Authors: Waktola Daniel K
Published: December 2024

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the spatio-temporal dynamics of kidnapping for ransom (KfR) in Ethiopia. Utilising 155 reported kidnapping incidents and advanced geospatial techniques, the research reveals a 500 percent increase in KfR incidents between 2020 and 2021, with continued growth thereafter. Oromia emerged as the epicentre, followed by Amhara and Tigray regions. Over 50 percent of cases occurred within 125 km of Addis Ababa by 2023, indicating a strategic focus on economically active areas. Our analysis uncovered crucial spatial patterns, revealing a concentration of incidents along regional borders and near main roads. These findings challenge conventional assumptions about criminal behaviour, suggesting that perpetrators strategically exploit jurisdictional complexities and leverage transportation networks rather than seeking isolation. The study underscores the need for a multifaceted approach to address root causes of KfR, including conflict resolution, economic development, and strengthening governance structures. While acknowledging data limitations, this research provides crucial insights for policymakers and law enforcement, contributing to broader discussions on crime prevention in complex environments and informing geographically-tailored strategies to combat this growing threat.
System Event Metrics Monitoring With Elk Stack: A Generic Solution Case Study

Published: December 2024

Systems (Servers and Desktops) are essential lifelines for any organization that has automated its processes via a modern IT framework. The health of these
systems is measured and derived via key factors (aka KPIs) such as uptime, threshold, CPU, and memory utilization. The volume of these metrics can
become very large in a short amount of time, which can become a challenge in the retrieval, analysis, and reporting of the information derived from raw
data. With the availability of generic software libraries for faster storage, retrieval, and presentation of the data in the ELK stack (Elastic Search, Logstash,
and Kibana), the system metrics can be handled effectively and efficiently, which can then be used for faster reporting
O censo de 1872 e a presença de africanos livres e cativos no Espírito Santo
Authors: Machado Laryssa da Silva
Published: December 2024

Em 1872 o Império Brasileiro conseguia realizar seu primeiro recenseamento oficial. Após 1822, as províncias eram as responsáveis por levantar o número de habitantes, mas esses recenseamentos aconteciam para fins eleitorais, com muitas fraudes e falhas. Tentativas anteriores de se recensear a população brasileira fracassaram e, apenas em 1872, é que o governo imperial conseguiu conhecer sua população, dentre elas o número de cativos, crioulos e africanos, e o número de africanos livres. O censo se dividia nesses dois grupos: livres e cativos e os africanos, classificados como uma única nação, eram os únicos que apareciam nessa divisão social. O Espírito Santo concentrava poucos africanos livres e cativos, porém, proporcionalmente, a dependência cativa em relação aos estrangeiros só estava atrás da Província do Rio de Janeiro. Esse trabalho pretende conhecer os africanos que aparecem no Recenseamento Imperial de 1872 residentes na Província do Espírito Santo.
Antidepresantų skyrimas vaikams bei paaugliams ir dilema dėl galimo savižudybės rizikos padidėjimo. Literatūros apžvalga
Authors: Odeta Aliukonytė  , Sigita Lesinskienė
Published: December 2024

Tikslas – surinkti mokslinę literatūrą ir atlikti apžvalgą nagrinėjant antidepresantų keliamą riziką su savižudybėmis susijusiam elgesiui ar mintims tarp vaikų ir paauglių.Metodika. Atlikta mokslo publikacijų apžvalga duomenų bazėse PubMed, Lancet, Elsevier, Sciencedirect naudojant reikšminius žodžius antidepressants IR medications IR children IR adolescence IR suicide IR suicide attempt IR suicidal ideation. Publikacijų paieška buvo vykdoma nuo 1963 iki 2024 m. Šioje apžvalgoje buvo nagrinėjami atvejo ir kontrolės, kohortiniai, klinikiniai atsitiktinių imčių, metaanalizės tyrimai, kuriuose tiriamųjų amžius yra iki 18 m. Darbe pateikiami apibendrinti mokslinių straipsnių analizės rezultatai.Rezultatai. Tyrimų rezultatai rodo, kad per pastarąjį dešimtmetį padidėjo antidepresantų vartojimas tarp vaikų ir paauglių, tačiau antidepresantų vartojimo poveikis savižudybių rizikai išlieka prieštaringas. Daugelyje tyrimų teigiama, kad antidepresantai gali didinti savižudybių riziką tarp jaunimo (5–24 m.), tačiau yra duomenų, rodančių, jog selektyviųjų serotonino reabsorbcijos inhibitorių (SSRI) vartojimas gali sumažinti savižudybių skaičių tarp depresija sergančių vaikų ir paauglių. Ilgesnis gydymas gali sumažinti savižudybės riziką, tačiau vartojant kelis antidepresantus vienu metu rizika gali padidėti. Antidepresantų skyrimas vaikams ir paaugliams vertinamas prieštaringai, tačiau dauguma tyrimų rekomenduoja užtikrinti nuolatinę pacientų stebėseną. Rezultatų dviprasmiškumas kyla dėl metodologinių trūkumų, tyrimų planavimo klaidų, etinių klausimų ir mažų imčių dydžių, iki šiol išlieka neaiškumų ir skirtingų nuomonių, todėl reikalingi tolimesni moksliniai tyrimai ir klinikinių atvejų aprašymai.Išvados. Apžvelgus literatūrą nustatyta, kad antidepresantų poveikis nepilnamečių savižudybės rizikai gali skirtis, todėl svarbu individualizuoti gydymą atsižvelgiant į paciento būklę, amžių ir gydymo trukmę. Rekomenduojama atidžiai stebėti vaikų ir paauglių būklę antidepresantų vartojimo metu bei reguliariai vertinti savižudybės riziką.
