Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is a debilitating condition characterized by a marked and persistent fear of being humiliated or scrutinized by others. It is the third most common mental health disorder and has its origins in adolescence. Accordingly, social relationships are particularly challenging for socially anxious adolescents. Therefore, we assume that self-confidence, which represents your belief in your own abilities, capacities, and judgments, plays an important role. This research aims to explore whether there is a correlation between self-confidence and social anxiety. It also aims to determine differences in selfconfidence and social anxiety according to age and grade. Individual data from 222 participants were collected using an online questionnaire that included general information, a self-confidence section, and a social anxiety section. The participants were secondary and high school students in Bangkok, Thailand. The collected quantitative data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficients and independent sample t-test within the Statistical Package for the Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) version 29 program. The results indicate a significant correlation between self-confidence and social anxiety at the .01 level. Additionally, self- confidence did not show significant differences according to grade or age. The results also revealed that social anxiety does not significantly change based on grade or age.

Published: November 2023

Fe2O3-ZnO composite gained attention due the several applications like that sensors, photocatalysis, reduction of mercury ions. Fe2O3-ZnO composite thick films were prepared by Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis on a glass substrate, using 0.1 M aqueous solutions of FeCl3?6H2O and ZnCl2 anhydride. To obtain different elemental concentration of Fe and Zn, we varied the volume of each aqueous solution.  The XPS analysis shown that it is possible to modulate the concentration of Zn and Fe in the samples. The X-ray diffraction measurements revealed that the films were composed of different phases corresponding with common stable iron oxides (ZnFe2O4, Fe2O3) and zinc oxide (ZnO). Results from Raman spectroscopy indicate that Fe2O3 vibrational modes are accompanied with new modes due to the presence of additional phases ZnO compounds. The band gaps were evaluated with the help of UV-visible transmittance data using the Tauc model, the results shown a modulation of the band gap values (2.2 eV to 3.2 eV). Theorical transmittance curves were obtained using the effective medium theory, using the Bruggeman model, these curves showed similar behavior that the experimental transmittance curves.

One of the instruments in campus accreditation, especially the faculty of informatics engineering at Jabal Ghafur University in order to get a good grade score is the satisfaction of graduate students getting decent jobs according to their fields, and is also a consideration during the study period for completing long lectures in a study program or faculty. The prediction of student graduation graduating on time or late does not only look at student data based on the highest scores as has been done in conventional grading systems so far. With advances in computer technology, especially in the field of data mining, it has brought many changes in the process of analyzing data patterns with data mining techniques, for example, in determining student graduation, a K-Nearest Neighbor method is used which processes data mining based on test data and sample data, especially on students. The results of the process for predicting student graduation are used sample data and training data. The sample data are students who are currently undergoing lectures and training data, namely students who have become alumni based on their graduation parameters. The final result obtained in the thesis research is that the system can input alternative data, criterion data, and process graduation predictions using the K-nearest neighbor method so that it can make a decision on whether the student who is being tested is "Passed" or "Graduated Late". The system can also display the K-nearest neighbor manual calculation flow and can display results reports.Key Words : Datamining, K-nearest Neighbor, Student Graduation Prediction, , PHPMySQL, Jabal Ghafur University

National Identity and Cohesion in Kenya: A Socio-Political Discourse
Authors: Ng’eno Gilbert
Published: November 2023

Purpose: In Kenya, the sense of national identity and unity, which is intricately intertwined with socio-political dialogue, scholarly works, and everyday conversations, profoundly impacts citizens' feelings of belonging, participation in national matters, and the nation's overall harmony and stability. This study addresses the subtly-avoided topic of national identity and cohesion in Kenya, highlighting its critical role in the nation's stability and advancement.

Methodology: The study triangulated secondary and primary data sources to provide a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of national identity and cohesion. With a sample size of 15 individuals, primary data was collected through semi-structured interviews from a target population of key stakeholders, including policymakers, scholars, and community leaders and refugees. The research uses content analysis to examine the institutional, legal, and policy frameworks regulating national identity and cohesion, revealing significant gaps.

Key Findings: The research illustrates Kenya's laissez-faire approach towards national identity since independence, which has allowed refugees to assimilate without official government policy. This scenario poses potential risks to national cohesion. Despite policies granting residency to East African Community (EAC) citizens and citizenship to specific stateless individuals, the refugee and statelessness problem persists. A compelling segment of the study investigates various global and national integration strategies, including laissez-faire, residency, multiculturalism, and satyagraha. The use of Social Identity Theory provides valuable insights into the complexities of national identity and cohesion in Kenya. The research identifies the encampment policy, with its numerous challenges, as a significant threat to national identity and cohesion.

Recommendations: This study, underpinned by the Social Identity Theory, advocates for transformative measures. It suggests that Kenya should extend citizenship to all refugees and stateless individuals, and diligently uphold the 2010 Constitution, in line with the Supreme Court's interpretation, especially on the question of identity and cohesion. Such actions are crucial in nurturing a united, secure, and thriving Kenya. The research is a pressing call to action, and prompts Kenyans to engage in profound discourse about their identity and unity, urging them to reevaluate and reshape their viewpoints and policies. The study could shed light on the role of socio-political discourse in shaping national identities and fostering social cohesion.
An Alarm-Based LPG Leakage Monitoring System

Purpose: Gas leakages have posed a major safety threat in the society especially in homes. Devices for early detection of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) popularly used in many developing countries are not so common and costly when available. This paper proposes a low-cost alarm-based LPG leakage monitoring system for home safety.

Materials and Methods: It uses MQ-6 gas sensor with PIC16F877A microcontroller circuit powered by a 9VDC battery to sustain the system even when the main power is out. The microcontroller is connected to an LCD screen and a buzzer to show the alerting part. An exhaust fan is connected at the output in order to disperse the gas away from the ignition source. Different quantities of the gas and perfume (for comparison) were measured and used for the test and the response time was observed. The system was designed and first simulated successfully using Proteus 8 before hardware implementation.

Findings: The results show that for high, medium and low concentration of LPG, the average response times obtained are 0.78s, 1.05s and 1.95s respectively. Similarly, for the perfume tested at different volumes ranging from 11ml to 29ml, the corresponding average response times range from 1.95s to 0.61s. The results show that for both tests, the average response time reduces with concentration. The higher the concentration, the shorter the time to raise the alarm. The cost analysis of the system shows that it is affordable for domestic use. Further work can involve control actuator such as solenoid to cut off the gas supply.

The study examined gender differences in FD and FI cognitive learning styles toward reading comprehension among secondary school students in Kiambu County, Kenya. The researcher adopted correlational research design. Purposive sampling was used to pick 20 public day secondary schools in Kiambu County while simple random sampling was used to sample 860 students who took part in the study. The study collected data from the sampled schools and participants using questionnaires. Data analysis was done through coding into SPSS version 23. Descriptive data was presented in frequency distribution tables, percentages, means and standard deviations. Hypotheses testing was done using independent samples t-test. The results showed that the mean score difference between male and female respondents with FI cognitive learning style was not statistically significant (t (450) =.88, p >.05). The results also showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the FD cognitive learning styles between male and female respondents (t (402) = -1.57, p >.05). Based on the results, male and female students use similar cognitive learning styles. Therefore teachers need to put the same effort when teaching boys and girls to enhance their academic performance in reading comprehension.
When Harmonization Crosses the Red Line: Interrogating the Post-1972 Common Law Ethnocide in Anglophone Cameroon
Authors: Tanjong Ashuntantang Tobias
Published: November 2023

By dint of their disparate colonial groomings, Anglophone Cameroon had common law as its legal system at the dawn of reunification in 1961 while Francophone Cameroon had civil law. Things would stay that way until 1972 when the government began sanctifying civil Law over common law through an asymmetric and assimilatory harmonization scheme. That was the beginning of the systematic erosion of common law in Anglophone Cameroon and the contemporaneous transposition of civil law to the territory. Anglophone common law practitioners manifested their revulsion to this harmonization travesty through multidimentional protests. One of such protests was their 2016 sit-in that morphed into an armed conflict. Using survey and participant observation as research instruments, Anglophone common law practitioners as the target population and stratified purposive sampling as the sampling technique, this study exemplifies common law ethnocide in Anglophone Cameroon. The key finding of the study is that the Cameroon harmonization scheme is skewed towards the attainment of civic nationalism and not law reform as it ought to be. Accordingly, the Cameroon harmonization scheme is flawed in its conception, defective in its methodology, imperialistic in its application and boundless in its scope. Above all, its assimilatory properties and propensities have occasioned an ethnocidal paradigm-shift in the legal system of Anglophone Cameroon from its pre-1972 common law status quo to its present-day civil law inclination. The major recommendation of this study is for government to give Anglophone Cameroon such autonomy as will allow it set up its own legislative assembly to legislate on private law matters. Without this, the erosion of common law in Anglophone Cameroon will continue.

The digital economy has emerged as a transformative force in many developing countries, including Rwanda. This study aims to assess the impact of the digital economy on revenue generation in Musanze, Rwanda, by focusing on three key objectives, the study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data analysis and qualitative interviews collected using Kobo toolbox with relevant Stakeholders. R-Studio was used to generate descriptive analysis as well inferential statistics for models. The research evaluates the revenue generation trends in Musanze the adoption of digital technologies. Additionally, it investigates the extent to which the cashless economy has influenced revenue collection processes, the growth of e-commerce sales, and the implications of ICT infrastructure taxation on revenue generation. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the evolving landscape of revenue generation in Rwanda’s digital economy, specifically in the Musanze region. This study found that there is a positive relationship between adoption of cashless economy and revenue generation with the p-value of 0.014, the adoption of E-commerce sales has increased the revenue since the p-value was 0.004 and finally utilization of adequate ICT infrastructure has increased revenue with p-value 0.03. It aims to inform policymakers, businesses, and the government on the potential benefits and challenges associated with the digital transformation in revenue collection. Ultimately, this research contributes to the broader understanding of how the digital economy can shape fiscal policies and revenue collection strategies in emerging economies like Rwanda.
