Authors: Rahmawati Shela , Khuzaini Nanang
Published: July 2024

Technology plays a significant role in advancing education as it facilitates educators in teaching abstract subjects that are difficult to understand, such as mathematics. Mathematics is a key component of human intellectual capability and the revolution of scientific knowledge. In mathematics learning, without engaging teaching media, students tend to disregard the teacher's explanations, become passive, get bored quickly, and merely take notes on the presented material. Therefore, innovative learning media, such as interactive math comics, need to be developed. This study aims to determine students' responses to the use of AKM practice books in mathematics learning. This research is descriptive and focuses on the level of student satisfaction with the learning process using AKM practice books. Students' responses were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire and then analyzed using data categorization techniques. The results of the study indicate that trial results in both small-scale and large-scale classes showed an average rating of very good. Consequently, the AKM practice book is considered practical to use as it received positive feedback from students, being highly useful in the learning process. The AKM practice book, as a mathematics learning medium, significantly aids in the learning process due to its attractive design, easily understandable question texts, clearly explained content, and it makes students feel happy and very interested. Thus, the response of class X8 students at SMA N 1 Sedayu towards the AKM practice book on statistical material is positive and practical for use.

Influence of Executive Compensation on Firm Risk-Taking Behavior in Qatar
Authors: Kasun Lola
Published: July 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the influence of executive compensation on firm risk-taking behavior in Qatar.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The study indicated that the structure and magnitude of executive compensation can significantly impact the risk profile of a firm. When executives are rewarded with substantial stock options and performance-based incentives, they are often motivated to pursue riskier strategies that have the potential for higher returns, aligning their interests with those of shareholders. However, this can also lead to excessive risk-taking, which may jeopardize the firm's stability if not managed properly. Conversely, fixed salaries and lower levels of variable compensation tend to promote more conservative decision-making, reducing the propensity for risk. The balance and design of executive compensation packages are thus crucial in ensuring that executives take calculated risks that contribute to sustainable firm growth rather than engaging in hazardous financial behaviors that could lead to adverse outcomes.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Agency theory, tournament theory and stewardship theory may be used to anchor future studies on assessing the influence of executive compensation on firm risk-taking behavior in Qatar. Implement compensation structures that strategically align executive incentives with organizational risk strategies. Collaborate with regulatory bodies to enhance governance frameworks that govern executive compensation.
Influence of Political Stability on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Inflows in Nigeria
Authors: Ajimobi Lucas
Published: July 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the influence of political stability on foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in Nigeria.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The study indicated that political stability significantly influences foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, as investors seek environments where their investments are secure and can yield predictable returns. Stable political conditions reduce risks related to government policy changes, expropriation, and civil unrest, thereby attracting more FDI. Conversely, political instability, marked by frequent government changes, corruption, and social unrest, deters investors due to increased uncertainty and risk. Studies have shown that countries with stable political climates tend to receive higher FDI inflows as they offer a safer, more predictable investment environment. Additionally, strong institutions and good governance practices further enhance investor confidence, leading to sustained economic growth through increased foreign investment.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Institutional theory, risk theory and eclectic paradigm may be used to anchor future studies on assessing the influence of political stability on foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in Nigeria. In practical terms, businesses and investors should focus on strengthening political institutions to create a stable and predictable environment. Policymakers play a crucial role in creating an environment conducive to FDI by prioritizing the implementation of political reforms that enhance stability. Ensuring free and fair elections, protecting civil liberties, and promoting effective governance structures are vital steps in this direction.
Public Policy Exceptions and the Balancing Act: Examining Zambia’s Corporate Insolvency Act in Cross-Border Cases
Authors: Mwape Victor
Published: July 2024

This article explores the interplay between public policy exceptions and international cooperation in cross-border insolvency situations. It focuses on Section 148 of Zambia’s Corporate Insolvency Act (2017), which empowers the High Court to refuse involvement in such cases based on public policy concerns. The analysis examines the rationale behind public policy exceptions and explores potential areas of concern that might arise in cross-border insolvency, such as environmental regulations or labour standards. It then delves into the specific provisions of Section 148, including the role of the Attorney-General. Furthermore, the article critically evaluates how Zambia’s approach to public policy exceptions balances the need for international cooperation in insolvency matters. It compares Zambia’s framework with established models or practices in other jurisdictions. Finally, the article suggests potential improvements to Zambia’s Act to achieve a better balance and enhance its effectiveness in handling cross-border insolvency cases.
Reframing Social Protection within Development Paradigms: A Study of Malaysia’s Survivors’ Pension Scheme
Authors: Ismail Isma Liana , Chek Mohd Zaki Awang
Published: July 2024

The interplay between social protection strategies and economic resilience, particularly in mitigating poverty, has gained substantial prominence within developmental and welfare policy frameworks. Notably, survivors’ pension schemes stand out for their critical support to poor families grappling with the aftermath of losing primary earners. This study provides an overview of Malaysia’s Survivors’ Pension Scheme, an integral facet of the national social safety net designed to aid families mourning the loss of breadwinners. This study contrasts evaluations of the scheme’s outreach and efficacy beneficiaries, thus offering a comprehensive overview of its socioeconomic impacts. Employing a detailed amount of information regarding the scheme’s coverage, distributive metrics, and fiscal expenditures, coupled with beneficiary, this enables a thorough overview of the Survivors’ Pension’s operational mechanisms and its broader socio-economic repercussions on recipient families. Initial study affirms the Survivors’ Pension Scheme’s essential role in diminishing financial vulnerability and countering social exclusion among qualified families. The study reveals marked enhancements in income stability and a decrease in poverty rates among recipients. Nonetheless, the study also identifies pressing concerns regarding the scheme’s reach and future viability, exacerbated by demographic trends and economic limitations. The Survivors’ Pension Scheme is identified as a pivotal element of Malaysia’s social protection infrastructure, effectively safeguarding at-risk populations from economic challenges. However, the findings prompt the need for strategic reforms to augment the scheme’s inclusivity and ensure its fiscal sustainability. Proposed reforms encompass broadening eligibility conditions, revising benefit allocations, and amalgamating the Survivors’ Pension with a more encompassing universal social protection framework. This study advocates for ongoing monitoring of the scheme’s modifications and their socioeconomic effects, evidence-based approach to social policy innovation.

Biblical names in Ukraine: regional Aspects
Authors: Nasakina Svitlana
Published: July 2024

This paper presents a study of the Biblical names in regional and historical aspects. Throughout history the Bible has served as the most important religious book for many people. As a result, the Bible has had a significant impact on various aspects of culture, education, and traditions. Ukraine has been characterized by the use of the Biblical names since the adoption of Christianity which influenced on the whole history of the state. Since Biblical personal names are both the lexical units and the symbols, it is interesting to see the presence of these names in different regions and epochs. The present study aims at pointing out at regional aspects of Biblical personal names. The paper provides a brief overview of naming trends in the assignment of Biblical names and Christian names in Ukraine. Our database of all names was fed the names of 2,000 people. The material is taken from the list of students who studied at Odesa State Agrarian University from 2014-2024 with the help of a continuous sampling method. The methodology, both statistical and qualitative, had two phases: a) comparison of the ratio of Biblical names to non-Biblical names, and b) classification of discovered Biblical names. This research is just one aspect of a series of investigations whose goal is to describe the anthroponomical system of Odesa, Ukraine in diachronic and synchronic format. The findings suggest that personal names with Biblical origin continue to be widely used in Ukraine. We emphasize that the study of anthroponyms in different regions and epochs is a valuable tool for understanding the history and cultural traditions of Ukraine. Therefore, the importance of onomastics as an interdisciplinary science affecting History, Sociology, Theology, Literature, and regional studies in the research of the Biblical names in current and past Ukraine is shown. This study draws upon three theoretical frameworks: anthroponomastics (Felecan & Mihali, 2023; Piddubna, 2021, etc.), socio-onomastics (Ainiala, 2016; Beley, 2019, etc.), and the regional onomastics (Braychenko, 2019; Buga, 2013; Chuchka, 1970; Frai, 2021; Matsyuk, 2021; Sholia, 2018, etc.).
Los nombres bíblicos en los estudios antroponomásticos cubanos: resultados y perspectivas
Authors: Campo Yumar Luis Ramón
Published: July 2024

Las denominaciones asociadas a la religión han sido las menos estudiadas dentro del panorama de los estudios cubanos sobre nombres de pila. Las pocas investigaciones sobre esta temática se han enfocado más en el uso del santoral católico que en la vitalidad y permanencia de nombres vinculados a la Biblia. Este artículo tiene como objetivo describir bibliográfica, teórica y metodológicamente determinados aspectos de la presencia de los nombres bíblicos en las investigaciones sobre nombres de pila en Cuba. El presente estudio se estructura de la siguiente manera: 1) primeramente se ofrece un panorama de las principales investigaciones antroponomásticas que abordan el tema religioso en Cuba (Sánchez et al.,1985; Rosales, 2009; Rabelo, 2020; Campo, 2020, entre otras) y sus características; 2) a continuación, se plantean dos perspectivas teóricas para analizar los nombres bíblicos: una formal, entendiendo la Biblia como un inventario onomástico multilingüe; y otra motivacional, que se interesa por el concepto bíblico como motivo de selección. De la interacción entre ambos criterios surge el concepto de biblicalidad asociado a terminadas características de los nombres que evidencian con diferentes grados de exactitud su relación formal o motivacional con la Biblia; además 3) se ofrecen (o esbozan) análisis de los nombres bíblicos desde varias perspectivas (ortográfica, motivacional, estadística, bíblica) utilizando datos, tanto de corpus elaborados (principio de siglo XXI) como ofrecidos por investigaciones cubanas anteriores (entre 1980 y 2020). Como soporte a la investigación se utilizan (o se propone el uso de) diversas fuentes y recursos disponibles en Cuba actualmente tales como: documentos oficiales, guías y registros telefónicos, entrevistas a portadores, entre otros; 4) por último, se destacan aspectos del estudio en unas breves consideraciones finales. Atendiendo a la revisión bibliográfica realizada este artículo es el primero dedicado únicamente al estudio de los nombres bíblicos en Cuba desde la perspectiva antroponomástica.
A doença como forma de ser livre no mundo
Authors: Bueno Caroline de Paula
Published: July 2024

Neste artigo buscamos abordar a perspectiva de Maurice Merleau-Ponty sobre corpo, saúde e doença e como esses elementos irão se desembocar no pensamento da liberdade e a arte em Cézanne. A crítica ao modelo tradicional de saúde e doença, baseado na visão biomédica que vê esses dois estados como opostos e define saúde como a mera ausência de doença, é crucial para uma compreensão mais ampla e humanizada da condição humana. Ao questionar a concepção de doença como simples anormalidade e o doente como alguém passivo, tratado apenas como objeto de intervenções médicas, o artigo segue uma linha de pensamento alinhada com a filosofia fenomenológica de Merleau-Ponty que irá propor uma teoria da liberdade criadora, que se manifesta sem romper os vínculos como mundo. Essa abordagem mais ampla e inclusiva valoriza a experiência subjetiva do indivíduo e reconhece a complexidade das interações entre saúde, doença e o mundo vivido pelo sujeito.

Мақалада тарихи сөздіктердің негізінде түркі тектес халықтар тіліндегі космонимдік тәңірі атауы және оның мағынасы туралы талдаулар сараланып, лексикалық, семантикалық және морфологиялық сипаты қарастырылады. Аспан денелеріне қатысты Тәңір атауының тілдік және танымдық ерекшелігін айқындау, этнолингвистикалық және когнитивтік мәнін ашу арқылы сол кездегі халықтың дүниетанымы, тұрмысы, тіршілігі суреттеледі. Салыстыру барысында түркі тілдерінің тарихын зерттеудің аса маңызды көздері негізге алынды – Орхон-Енисей, көне ұйғыр жазба ескерткіштері, ортағасырлық араб, парсы, түркі ғалымдарының еңбектері және ХVІІІ ғасырдан бергі Батыс Еуропа мен орыс ғалымдары зерттеулері. Бұл еңбектердегі тәңірі атауына қатысты лексеманың тілдік және танымдық ерекшелігін айқындаудың маңызы зор. Бұл ең алдымен космонимдік атаулардың этнолингвистикалық және когнитивтік мәнін ашуға көмектеседі деп пайымдауға толық мүмкіндік береді. Жалпы тіларалық байланыс мәселесінің лингвистер тарапынан зерттеле бастағанына 200 жылдан астам уақыт өтіпті. Осы уақыт ішінде бұл мәселе жан-жақты тексеріліп, оның неше алуан құбылыстары мен түрлері тиісті теориялық шешімін тапқаны мәлім. Алайда, әрбір халықтың өзіндік тарихи даму жолу, басқа халықтармен араласу сипаты, өзіне ғана тән ерекшеліктердің болатынына байланысты, бұл мәселені нақтылы тарихи лингвистикалық деректер негізінде зерттеуді талап етеді. Сондықтан, мақалада түркі тілдері арасында «Алла, Құдай, Тәңірі деген үш атау да – бір ғана жаратушы ұлы күш деген ұғымды білдіретін космогониялық Тәңірі атауына лексика-грамматикалық талдау жасалды. Кілтті сөздер: лексикография, космоним, этимология, семантика, семасиология, теоним.

Introduction

Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) derived from marine microorganisms are a newly recognized reservoir of bioactive therapeutic compounds

Material and methods

We isolated a high EPS-yielding bacterial strain from the Red Sea, identified as Bacillus rugosus SYG20. Its purified EPS (EPSR9) contains 45.33% uronic acid, 9.98% sulfate groups, and 5.40% N-acetyl glucosamine. The HPLC chromatogram revealed four monosaccharides - glucose, xylose, galacturonic acid, and arabinose, in a distinct molar ratio of 2:3:1:1. EPSR9 showed a wide array of bioactivities.

Results

It displayed antioxidant activity with an IC50 of 25.6 μg/ml in the DPPH assay and a total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of 417.77μg/ml equivalent AAE and 62.67 μg/ml equivalent AAE in Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. It exhibited substantial anti-inflammatory properties. The anticoagulant effect of the EPS was demonstrated by a dose-dependent increase in prothrombin time. The scratch assay resulted in a 72.66% increase in wound closure, promoting in vitro wound healing after 48 h. Anti-obesity activity was evidenced by 83.8% lipase inhibition at 1000 μg/ml with IC50 of 107.73μg/ml. EPSR9 demonstrated inhibitory effects on α-amylase with an IC50 value of 14.37μg/ml and α-glucosidase with an IC50 value of 26.73 μg/ml, highlighting its potential as an anti-diabetic agent. Then, EPS showed bactericidal properties with MBC/MIC≤2 against both G+ve and G-ve bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus , Enterococcus faecalis (MIC=3.9μg/ml), Salmonella typhi, and Helicobacter pylori.

Conclusions

The marine EPSR9 exhibited considerable potential for pharmaceutical applications as a multi-bioactive microbial metabolite. Its in vivo potency and mechanisms of action warrant further investigation.

Authors: Gasiwo Moses Magoola , Beinomugisha Dr. Peninah
Published: July 2024

Background:
Teacher absenteeism is when the teacher is out of school either by delaying, leaving before official closing time, not attending school at all, or when the teacher is at school but missing classes. Absenteeism is caused by many factors like personal illness, a relative’s sickness, family conflicts, lack of job satisfaction leading to low morale, lack of personal competence, lack of friendly work group norms, poor leadership at the workplace, in effective supervision and inspection, assignment of other duties outside the workplace, bad weather conditions, union influence, and poor working conditions. The study aims to examine the causes of absenteeism in selected secondary schools of Kayunga District in Uganda.
 Methodology:
This is a descriptive survey design in which quantitative research methods were used on 210 who included the DEO, 10 head teachers, 100 teachers, and 100 Students.
 Results:
54.0% of the respondents were male while 46.0% were females. According to teacher responses, 67% agreed that female teachers are usually absent due to family responsibilities, and 58% agreed that male teachers are usually absent because of attending their business to substitute for their income. 52% agreed that old teachers are mostly absent because they lost their morale.64% of the teachers agreed that teachers are absent due to illness. 46% of teachers agreed that teachers of low level of education attend further education programs. (46%) agreed that teachers absent themselves because they are not satisfied with their job. 
 Conclusion:
Teachers absent themselves because they are unsatisfied with their jobs, family responsibilities, substitute income, undertaking further studies, lost morale, and are tired and some miss due to illness. 
 Recommendation:
School employers should ensure that there is constant supervision and remuneration to motivate teachers as a way of curbing teachers’ absenteeism.

Published: July 2024

Aims: The standard procedure in the management of neonatal pneumoperitoneum (NP) cases is laparotomy. However, in some of the cases in which surgery is not a viable option, percutaneous peritoneal drainage (PD) can be performed in order to stabilize the patient prior laparotomy. This study reviews the role of PD in NP patients using previous studies in the literature.
Methods: 26 neonates diagnosed with NP in Van Yüzüncü Yıl Faculty of Medicine, Van Training and Research Hospital neonatal ICU from April 2015 to January 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. In terms of surgical assessment, patients were divided into 2 groups according to their birth weight. Group A consisted of neonates with birth weight above 1000 grams whereas Group B consisted of neonates with birth weight above 1000 grams whereas Group B consisted of neonates with a birth weight of 1000 grams or below. Demographic values, diagnosis, and treatment methods were put on record in patient files.
Results: 10 cases (7 male – 3 female) in Group A had a mean body weight of 1850 (Range: 1070 – 3400 gr) grams. In this patient group, NP developed as a result of pneumothorax, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and spontaneous intestinal perforation (SIP). 3 (30%) of the patients who were treated with classical approaches were lost during the treatment period. Group B consisted of 16 (9 male – 7 female) patients with a mean body weight of 780 (Range 470 – 950) grams. In this case group, NP developed as a result of NEC. PD was performed prior to conventional treatment procedures and 5 (31%) of the patients were lost during the treatment period.
Conclusion: Group B had similar mortality rates with Group A. result explains to us that PD is a viable option in stabilizing
the patient prior to laparotomy as a starting procedure, especially in neonates below 1000 grams and deemed as surgically
unstable.

El Tribunal Supremo ha resuelto que el dies a quo del plazo de prescripción del derecho de la Administración a liquidar el impuesto sobre sucesiones y donaciones en aquellos supuestos de adquisiciones por causa de muerte en los que el heredero fallece sin aceptar ni repudiar la herencia y el derecho se transmite a sus herederos, que son quienes aceptan y adquieren la condición de sujetos pasivos del impuesto, es el momento del fallecimiento del transmitente. Para el Alto Tribunal, la mecánica del ius transmissionis no puede obviar que el hecho imponible se produce cuando, a la muerte del segundo causante –transmitente–, sus herederos ejercitan el ius delationis transmitido y adquieren, por la aceptación, la herencia del primer causante, pues es en ese momento, fallecimiento del segundo causante, cuando las limitaciones a la adquisición de los bienes desaparecen.

Retail industries are one of the major contributors to the gross domestic product (GDP) and an employment hub that encounters recruitment challenges in a competitive world. A common factor relating to these challenges is the failure to attract skilled employees to occupy vacant positions. A viable prospect is for higher education institutions to establish partnerships with the sector. This study; therefore, aims to investigate the role of partnerships between public higher education institutions and the retail sector in KwaZulu-Natal Province. It does so by outlining the key success factors influencing partnerships, identifying skills relevant to the retail sector, and determining how to build and strengthen partnerships between higher education and the retail sector. The study conforms to the pragmatic paradigm, assuming an exploratory descriptive and cross-sectional mixed methods approach. Using descriptive and inferential tests, quantitative data were generated from a survey of 80 exit-level students as well as store managers representing 128 retail stores in KwaZulu-Natal Province. Qualitative data was yielded from interviews and focus group discussions with general managers, regional managers and retail floor supervisors. The overall findings demonstrated that relationships between education and retail require further strengthening. The main findings show that the transition process for graduates from universities to the labour market is challenging due to the misalignment of skills. The passive approach of stakeholders’ is regarded as key to skill misalignment, necessitating crucial intervention. The study recommends significant structured engagement between the sectors to allow a smoother transition into the labour market through the availability of skilled personnel. The study provides a framework for effective partnerships to guide industry partners, academics, and policy developers in establishing and managing partnerships between education institutions and the retail sector.
