Group Lending Models As An Alternative Empowerment Model: Assessing Gendered Socio-Economic Impacts in the Global South
Authors: Misra Anoushka
Published: November 2024

Grameen Banks and other microcredit banks specialised towards collective empowerment in rural Bangladesh. The research reviews case studies alongside open-source data on group lending initiatives and models data on creditworthiness, upward mobility, and financial security of women in Bangladesh to examine the potential for the Grameen Bank’s replication for other marginalised economic groups in countries in the Global South, including India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The study aims to identify successes and failures in building community solidarity, the extent of women’s exclusion from other formal credit institutions, and the psychological well-being of female borrowers. It explores the long-term sustainability of group lending programs in specific Global South economic contexts (with widening income gaps across class and gender divides, and growing polarisation) and assesses their broader economic impacts on community development and growth in the identified countries. The study revealed that high repayment rates and the social dynamics of group lending with female borrowers translate into a sustainable and profitable model for lenders, as well as being an alternative system of empowerment benefiting both borrowers and lenders. The paper will analyse the impact of microfinance in developing economies. How far has this concept enabled women’s empowerment in Bangladesh? Has this resulted in encouraging adequate skills for women in other marginalized sections of these economies? What are the models on which this concept works? How effectively have these been used in other developing economies like Pakistan, Shri Lanka and India? Has the model changed in the country in which this model originated? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this system of microfinancing? These and other similar questions will be addressed in the course of this paper.
GlaucoScreen: A Novel Deep Learning-Based System for Glaucoma Detection and Progression Monitoring
Authors: Milkuri Siddhartha
Published: November 2024

Glaucoma, an eye disease that causes damage to the optic nerve, is the second-leading cause of blindness worldwide. Swift diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma is crucial to prevent any glaucoma-induced vision loss; however, this is not usually achievable in developing countries due to their lack of medical personnel and resources. This research aims to solve this through GlaucoScreen, an inexpensive, accessible system for both reliable glaucoma detection and accurate real-time progression monitoring. The first component of the GlaucoScreen system is the smartphone attachment. This attachment allows for the cheap and precise capture of a retinal fundus. The retinal fundus image (RFI) is then uploaded onto the mobile application to be processed by three different deep learning models. First, in order to reduce the computation needed by subsequent models and emphasize diagnostic features, the optic disk region of the RFI is localized and segmented out by the optic disk segmentation model. This model, employing the U-Net architecture, has an intersection-over-union score of 95.11%. The segmented optic disk image is then analyzed by the glaucoma detection model, which has an accuracy of 98.68%, and finally the progression categorization model, which has an accuracy of 95.88%. The glaucoma detection model utilizes a novel convolutional neural network architecture, while the progression categorization model utilizes the InceptionV3 architecture. GlaucoScreen is unique in that it monitors the progression state of glaucoma, which is crucial for its treatment, while also providing a cost-effective method of retrieving RFIs. Through GlaucoScreen, anyone from anywhere around the world will have access to quality glaucoma care.

Published: November 2024

The democratization of the country is impossible without existence of active civil society, and therefore the first step of democratic transformations should be the formation of such a society among the population. In the countries where a significant part of the population lives in villages the issue has certain peculiarities. In such cases, it is possible to form an active public position around the issues related to labor activities that cause a significant interest among the population. In case of Georgia, one of these fields is irrigation. The paper considers one of the forms of civil society - the issue of organizing and managing associations of a temporary irrigation system network. It should be noted that after private property was established on the land, the works for arranging as well as maintaining the temporary irrigation network became the responsibility of the land owners, which in its turn is practically impossible to perform individually. The necessity of such unions is substantiated in the paper, also, there is also an explanation of the reasons for the failure of the first attempt to form such associations (irrigation and drainage user associations) in Georgia and there are given some of the principles of their successful functioning as well. At the same time, the necessity of keeping the principle of voluntary creation of the union should be noted as well as the question of the authority and professionalism of its leadership. and on the turn of the local leadership considering the decisions about the issues in the jurisdiction made by the union, which is the basis of the successful functioning of the union.

Authors: Bhasin Ria Devika
Published: November 2024

This paper, titled "A Minor Concern," challenges the prevailing notion that juvenile delinquency is a minor issue, asserting its profound significance in contemporary society. Despite often being marginalised, juvenile delinquency represents a severe challenge that demands immediate and comprehensive attention. The study adopts a multi-faceted approach, beginning with an extensive literature review that exposes systemic flaws, ineffective rehabilitation methods, and socio-economic drivers of juvenile crime. This review forms a critical backdrop for understanding the depth of the issue. The research incorporates an online survey conducted through Google Forms, capturing data from juvenile justice professionals, social workers, and the general public. This survey aims to gauge perceptions and gather empirical data on the prevalence, causes, and effectiveness of current interventions, revealing discrepancies between public views and on-ground realities. Interviews with police officers from C.R. Park, Defence Colony, and Hauz Khas Police Stations provide insights into operational challenges and systemic issues within the juvenile justice system. Their perspectives underscore practical inefficiencies and the urgent need for reform. Further insights are drawn from officers at Delhi Juvenile Home, Majnu-ka-Tila, and The Observation Home for Boys-II, Sewa Kutir, Mukherjee Nagar. Their accounts of the challenges in rehabilitating juvenile offenders highlight the gap between policy intentions and practical outcomes, emphasizing the critical need for effective support and systemic change. In conclusion, "A Minor Concern" aims to demonstrate that juvenile delinquency is a significant issue requiring urgent reform. By integrating literature review, empirical data, and professional insights, the study advocates for a comprehensive revaluation of current juvenile justice practices and the development of effective, evidence-based interventions.

Authors: Jain Sambhav
Published: November 2024

Millet production in India has been rapidly declining in the past 50 years, yet the importance of millets must not be forgotten. Recently, there has been an increase in efforts by the Indian government to boost the production of millets, concentrated on raising awareness about the benefits of millets to the general populace. This paper, firstly discusses the importance of millets against the backdrop of climate change, finding it to have moderate nutritionally benefits and immense environmental benefits. Secondly, the paper finds three key reasons for the historic decline of millet production : The Green Revolution, Government Policies - specifically the MSP policy and lastly demand related factors. Thirdly, this paper analyzes the efficacy of current government initiatives to promote millets on three criteria - Awareness, Production and Yield, finding the policies to be successful in raising awareness, unsuccessful in raising production and results inconclusive in raising yield. Lastly, this paper uses statistical data to analyze the impact of various factors on the yield of millets, finding Net Irrigated Area to have a strong, positive correlation with yield. Policy recommendations such as conducting a large scale survey with farmers are also given.

Greenwashing Unveiled: The Truth Behind Eco-Labels in India
Authors: Devireddy Kavya Reddy
Published: November 2024

Greenwashing, the practice of making misleading or exaggerated environmental and sustainability claims, has become a significant challenge in India’s rapidly growing market for sustainable goods. As consumer demand for eco-friendly products increases, greenwashing complicates purchasing decisions, erodes consumer trust, and hampers genuine progress towards sustainability. Hence, this paper delves into the complexities of greenwashing in the Indian consumer market, where companies frequently exploit green rhetoric without implementing real changes in their operations. Through detailed case studies, this research highlights how misleading claims distort consumer perceptions and undermine broader environmental efforts. In addition, the paper explores the role of eco-labels, certifications, and trademarks as critical safeguards against greenwashing. When properly regulated and enforced, these mechanisms can offer verifiable assurances of a company’s environmental practices and promote transparency. However, their success depends on the development of a comprehensive framework that includes rigorous oversight and consumer awareness. By uncovering the nuances of greenwashing, this paper ultimately aims to deepen the understanding of the practice in India and contribute to more effective sustainability initiatives.

Authors: Koros Christine , Kamau Dr Sarah
Published: November 2024

Education and training are widely acknowledged as being essential to the growth of human capital. The Technical Vocational Education and Training serves as a conduit for human capital development, equipping students with practical skills that hold relevance in diverse occupational domains, industrial sectors, and entrepreneurial pursuits. Despite government investments in Technical Vocational Education and Training, the industry still faces constraints in areas such as improving online management information systems, training tools, human relations capacity and retention, and research and development. Therefore, this research was carried out to examine the strategy implementation and organizational performance of the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority. The objectives were: effect of resource allocation, organizational culture, strategic leadership and organizational structure. Theories applicable to this research: institutional, resource-based view and balanced scorecard. A descriptive research design was used. The target population of the study was 70 employees of the Authority comprising the directors, senior level management and administrative staff; hence the respondents were 70 in number. A census technique was used in this research because the target population was small. Data was collected using primary and secondary data by both open-ended and closed-end questionnaires. A pilot study was done to check the reliability and validity of the questionnaire. Content Validity, construct and criterion validity were used to test the strength of the instrument and Reliability was done using Cronbach Alpha method to test its consistency. The study involved the utilization of descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation to analyze the data collected. Inferential statistics applied the multiple linear regressions to draw conclusions and make inferences from the data. The analysis outcomes indicated that resource allocation capabilities inversely affected performance insignificantly; organizational culture insignificantly and positively affected performance; strategic leadership affected performance of these organizations positively yet in an insignificant manner, while organizational structure displayed significant positive effect on Technical Vocational Education and Training Authority’s performance. The study recommended that the government should implement policies that prioritize the continuous assessment and refinement of the organizational structure. This policy should mandate evaluations of the current organizational framework to ensure that it aligns with the Authority's strategic goals and the evolving demands of the Technical Vocational Education and Training sector.
To What Extent are LHS Students Motivated by Financial Benefits As Opposed to Intrinsic Value When Making Career Decisions?
Authors: Kumcha Kaushal
Published: November 2024

Throughout LCPS, several high school students face difficult decisions regarding their future. Should they pursue jobs and career choices that allow them best to express themselves in terms of true happiness and passion, or should they employ themselves in occupations that are financially equipped to support them in the long run? A growing materialist culture in modern society increasingly prioritizes wealth, status, and lifestyle aspirations over purpose or meaning in selecting career paths. This can alter student's motives and potentially place pressure on them when discussing their future. As the cost of living rises rapidly, the need for monetary benefits associated with the job market is highly demanded. However, following genuine passions typically enables both higher performance and satisfaction over the long term. While there is research on students’ motivations in general, high-achieving student populations that balance their passions against practical considerations receive less attention. This gap in previous scholarly works motivated me to pursue the research and explore the relationship between passion and salary in future careers amongst high school students. To do this I decided to look at and survey LHS, an academically competitive school filled with exceptionally talented and driven young minds.
Intersecting Identities: The Influence of Gender and Caste on Educational Outcomes in India
Authors: Agarwal Aarna
Published: November 2024

Since 1947, India has strived to expand access to education. Yet deep-rooted inequalities tied to gender, caste, and social identity persist. This paper explores these inequalities and the ways in which they shape educational outcomes. Despite policy interventions aimed at inclusion, disparities in access, quality, and performance continue to plague the system. The privatization of education and the shift to digital learning, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, have further widened this gap, leaving vulnerable populations with limited opportunities for advancement. The paper demonstrates the need to adopt an intersectional framework in educational policy, addressing not only access but also the achievement and outcomes of marginalized students. By highlighting the structural inequalities that persist in India's education system, this research underscores the urgency of rethinking policy interventions to create equitable educational opportunities, particularly for those at the intersection of caste and gender. Addressing these challenges requires targeted interventions, through which, India can move closer to achieving its universal education goals while ensuring that its most vulnerable populations are not left behind.

In a competency-based curriculum (CBC), the development of logical and critical thinking skills in mathematics is essential. As a cornerstone of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), mathematics is pivotal for addressing real-world challenges. However, overall pass rates remain unsatisfactory in Kenyan secondary schools, particularly in Kisii County. This study investigated the mediating role of academic disidentification in the relationship between achievement goals, perceived teacher support, and mathematics achievement. Grounded in the revised 3x2 Achievement Goal Model, Self-Determination Theory, and Expectancy-Value Theory, a correlational design was employed with a random sample of 418 Form Three students from thirty seven schools in Kisii County; Kenya in 2023. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that academic disidentification partially mediates the relationship among achievement goals, perceived teacher support, and mathematics achievement. School categories differed significantly in avoidance motivation, with co-educational schools exhibiting the highest levels. Based on these findings, the study recommends that mathematics teachers prioritize fostering approach motivation, especially in co-educational schools, to enhance student achievement in mathematics.

Developing countries such as Ethiopia, over the years particularly after the cold war, starting from early 1990s have adopted neoliberal policies through reforms to attract foreign finance for development needs in view of inadequacy of domestic capital for public and private investment. However, despite the inflow of foreign capital into the economy, it is still grappling with major development challenges. It is in view of this that this study examines the impact of foreign finance on the economy, and whether FDI-climate interaction limits the potential impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) as an important component of foreign capital, on economic development in Ethiopia. The study further reveals the implications of post-cold war adoption of market-oriented policies in Ethiopia. The study uses autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model with data spanning from 1981 to 2020. It is found that FDI has positive and significant impact on economic development in the long run, but the positive effect is revealed to be insignificant in the short run. On the other hand, foreign debt is revealed to have long term negative though insignificant impact on economic development of the country. Furthermore, it is revealed that FDI-climate interaction has negative implication on the economy in both the long run and short run. Therefore, the effectiveness and efficiency of foreign finance on growth and development outcome in Ethiopia is conditional on whether it produces long run sustainable environmental outcome. Also, the adoption of neoliberal policies has not resulted in development of Ethiopia. Hence, the study recommends among others, the need for consideration of absorptive capacity of the country as a recipient economy and in its reforms, as well as the need for the government and development partners to ensure assessment of the long run potential environmental impact of foreign capital before they are deployed on the economy.

Mexico is currently grappling with a humanitarian crisis, particularly affecting its female population, which has the potential to lead to severe consequences such as the degradation of the country. This research aims to study the impact of women's discrimination towards Mexican national security. The objective of this research is to ascertain the specific manifestations of discrimination against women in Mexico, examine the implications of such discrimination on national security, and analyze the proactive measures implemented by the Mexican government and non-governmental organizations in addressing this pervasive issue. The qualitative methodology employed in this study originates from secondary sources and the concept used was national security. The results of this study indicate that discrimination against women in Mexico has been influenced by factors within the political, economic, and social domains. It highlights risks for women in Mexican politics and underscores societal discrimination, particularly affecting Indigenous women. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it intensifies gender-based issues, emphasizing the urgency of addressing inequality in Mexico. The ramifications of women's discrimination in Mexico extend across societal facets, contributing to increased crime rates, societal instability, and heightened poverty levels. In anticipation of these consequences, it is imperative to evaluate the vulnerability of various economic sectors and formulate strategies to mitigate their susceptibility. Collaboration between the government and non-governmental organizations is essential to implement initiatives focused on enhancing adaptation capabilities, fortifying legal frameworks, and providing support to affected communities.

This research aims to analyze Loans and Bad Credit on Interest at Rural Banks. By using descriptive quantitative methods, it is hoped that this research will be able to answer the objectives and have benefits for future users of this research. Sampling is carried out using probability sampling techniques which provide equal opportunities for each member of the selected population. In this technique, sampling is carried out randomly according to proportions. So the number of samples in this research is the number of Rural Banks in the DKI Jakarta province and Banten province of 79 units. The research results show the influence of each variable, namely the bad credit variable does not have a significant influence on the interest variable, while the credit variable does not have any effect on bad credit, so the customer's understanding of large and small loans will not affect the condition of bad credit received while the interest charged to Borrowers are not the main factor in bad credit. Simultaneously the effect of the Bad Credit variable has no significant effect on Interest and the Credit variable has no significant effect on Interest. Then partially the variable Credit, Bad Credit has a significant effect on Interest. Based on qualitative analysis, the results show that people tend not to borrow at Rural Credit Banks due to knowledge, both interest, processes and the profits they can get when making transactions at Rural Credit Banks.

AMSIYAH DWI RIYANTI,  Improving the learning outcomes of grade XII students in entrepreneurship subjects through cooperative learning models of group investigation type at SMK Karya Mandiri, Economic Education Study Program, Faculty of Education, Panca Sakti University Bekasi, 2024. At SMK Karya Mandiri, the learning system that has been implemented so far has not maximized student active involvement, resulting in suboptimal classroom learning experiences. Many students exhibit passive attitudes, which negatively impact their learning outcomes. To address this issue, the Group Investigation learning model has been applied through classroom action research. This model is designed to enhance student participation and learning outcomes in the Entrepreneurship subject. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of applying the Group Investigation learning model in improving the learning outcomes of 12th-grade students. In this study, the Group Investigation method was implemented in two cycles, each consisting of four important stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. Each cycle begins with planning, which includes developing group worksheets used in the learning action. Students work in groups to complete tasks and present their results to the class, while observation and reflection processes are conducted to assess the model's effectiveness. The research results indicate a significant improvement in student learning outcomes after the implementation of this model. In the first cycle, the average class score was 63.97 with a classical completeness rate of 55.89%, where 19 students achieved satisfactory results. However, after applying the model in the second cycle, the average class score increased to 70.73, and the classical completeness rate surged to 82.53%, with 28 students successfully reaching the targeted passing level. These findings affirm that the Group Investigation model can effectively enhance student engagement and learning outcomes in the Entrepreneurship subject, and provides a strong foundation for applying similar methods in other learning contexts.

Balen Coffee is a place that sells food and drinks with a café concept. The sales system currently used is coming directly to the place (dine-in) and using online applications such as grabfood and gofood.  However, instead of having to order via GrabFood or GoFood, some customers choose to order via WhatsApp admin and then pick up their order when it is finished.  This happens because they feel a little burdened by the cost of shipping orders because if they go through Grabfood or GoFood, sometimes it is not commensurate with the total purchase. This also has an impact on Balen Coffee's lack of online sales. The aim of this research is to overcome problems that arise, namely to provide a platform that is expected to alleviate customer problems in online ordering and can increase online sales at Balen Coffee. The development method used in developing this system is the Extreme Programming method. This system was built using the PHP programming language, the database uses MySQL using the Laravel framework. This research produces a menu ordering system at Balen Coffee, Madiun City, which provides the appearance and access rights for customers and admins. The menus on the website run normally and do not experience errors or bugs. In accessing the website, customers and admins do not experience problems so it is easy to use.

Published: November 2024

In the digital age of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, organizations like BPRACo must undergo Digital Transformation (DT). A significant challenge is the lack of adequate information security controls, which can lead to DT failure. Smaller banks, such as BPR, face difficulties in adopting effective information security management strategies that are proven for larger institutions. This study aims to identify the application of ISO 27001:2022 standards and develop an information security management system focusing on the most critical annex clauses for SME digital transformation. It also seeks to evaluate and analyze the impact of an information security management system aligned with these key clauses on SME DT success. The research employs a five-stage Design Science Research (DSR). Data were collected through interviews and document analysis, then analyzed using the ISO 27001:2022 framework for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). The study identified six priority Clause and Annex controls for BPRACo. Based on the gaps, six essential solutions were designed, compiled into an implementation roadmap to enhance BPRACo readiness for full ISMS implementation and certification, supporting DT success in small banks. This research provides valuable insights and practical implications for information security management in small banks.

Introduction. The article evaluates the toxicity and danger of a chelating agent based on a mixture of di- and triammonium salts of nitrilotriacetic acid.
The relevance of the study is related to the assessment of the impact of this substance on water and atmospheric air, especially in the context of its use in oil production and potential release into the environment and impact on humans.
Material and methods. The studies included assessing the effect of the substance on the organoleptic characteristics of water, the process of self-purification of water bodies, as well as conducting acute and subacute toxicological tests to study the effect of the mixture on the body of warm-blooded animals.
Results. For a mixture of di- and triammonium salts of nitrilotriacetic acid, a value of 70 mg/l is recommended as the threshold concentration for the organoleptic indicator, the limiting indicator is odor. The mixture does not affect the processes of self-purification of water in water bodies at the maximum studied concentration. Toxicological studies have shown that the mixture is classified in the 3rd hazard class (LD50 2250±250 mg/kg) and has a high degree of accumulation. In addition, it has a moderate irritant effect on the mucous membrane of the eye and intact skin upon repeated application, and does not have a skin-resorptive effect. After prolonged exposure, the mixture affects the blood parameters of animals, as well as the functional state of the liver and kidneys.
Limitations. The studies were carried out in accordance with the requirements of Methodological instructions 2.1.5.720–98 and Methodological instructions 2630–82. The research results are applicable in substantiating hygienic standards in the water of water bodies and atmospheric air.
Conclusion. Thus, based on literature data, as well as our own research, for a mixture of di- and triamonium salts of nitrilotriacetic acid, we can recommend a value of 0.8 mg/l as the approximate permissible level in the water of water bodies (hazard indicator – sanitary-toxicological, hazard class – 2), and a value of 0.1 mg/m3 as the tentative safe exposure level in the atmospheric air of populated areas.
