Authors: Tiksan Abdi  , Prof. Washington Okeyo  , Dr. Paul Machoka
Published: September 2024

The road projects in Kenya have been experiencing poor performance in form of delays in completion, high cost, and low quality. This study objective was to assess the moderating effect of government regulations on the relationship between project planning and performance of completed road projects in arid and semi-arid counties in Kenya. The study was anchored on theory of constraints and supported by Stakeholder Theory, Resource Based View Theory and Regulation Theory. The study adopted positivism philosophy. The study applied a cross sectional survey design and used census sample method. The study population were the 88 completed road projects in 22 Arid and Semi-arid counties in Kenya. The study adopted convenience sampling technique where primary data was collected using a questionnaire from 198 respondents. The study respondents were the contracted company's project managers, county public works officers and the local community leaders who are most advantageously placed and in the best position to provide the information required. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics which included correlation and multiple regressions. The research demonstrates a significant positive correlation (r = 0.477, p < 0.001) between government regulations and the performance of completed road projects in arid and semi-arid counties in Kenya. It highlights the critical influence of government regulations, including a regulatory framework and a code of conduct, on project outcomes in these regions. The study aimed to assess the moderating effect of government regulations on the relationship between project planning and performance, ultimately rejecting the null hypothesis of no moderation effect. Results confirm that government regulations significantly moderate this association, with project planning identified as a key predictor of project performance. This emphasizes the need for effective governance and regulatory measures to improve road project efficacy. Recommendations include strengthening and implementing comprehensive government regulations to guide project planning and execution. Additionally, training programs should be established for stakeholders to ensure understanding and adherence to these regulations. Regular assessments and updates of the regulatory framework are essential to address the unique challenges of arid environments. Collaboration between government agencies and local communities should be enhanced to incorporate community needs into project planning. Finally, investing in monitoring and evaluation systems will facilitate ongoing assessment of project performance and regulatory compliance, ultimately fostering successful road infrastructure development

Published: September 2024

Morbidity and mortality in children below five years are still relatively high even after many interventions, especially and low and middle-income countries. Many of the deaths are due to preventable causes. Timely seeking of healthcare from qualified personnel as soon as the child shows signs and symptoms of disease is a game changer, especially to the treatment outcomes. However, this is determined by various factors including the caregiver’s age and knowledge about childhood illnesses, including danger signs. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the determinants of timely healthcare-seeking behaviour and knowledge of danger signs in caregivers of children below five years attending Gita Sub-County Hospital in Kisumu, Kenya. Systematic sampling was used to include 324 caregivers in the study. Using structured pretested interview-guided questionnaires, data was collected, cleaned and analysed using into GraphPad Prism 10.2.0 (392). The mean age of the participants was 28.38 years. Knowledge about childhood danger signs in children by their caregivers was poor (35%). Age (31-40 and 41-50 years at [AOR=1.32(95%CI: 0.77-1.87) and AOR=1.29(95%CI: 0.76-1.82)] respectively), secondary [AOR=1.34(95%CI: 1.14-1.54)] and tertiary education [AOR=2.07(95%CI: 0.8-3.33)]), formal employment [AOR=1.62(95%CI: 1.31-1.92)] and no source of income [AOR=1.75(95%CI: 0.61-2.89)] improved caregivers’ knowledge about danger signs in children. Timely healthcare seeking for sick children was low (25%). Age (≤ 20 years [ AOR=3.89 (95%CI: 2.43-5.34)]), marital status (divorced/separated, single and widowed caregivers [AOR=2.55(95%CI: 0.91-4.18), AOR=2.46(95%CI: 1.67-3.24) and AOR=2.41(95%CI: 1.92-2.89) respectively]), source of income (formally employed and self-employed [(AOR=2.9(95%CI: 2.45-3.34) and AOR=2.42(95%CI: 1.89-2.92)] were promotors of timely healthcare seeking. Caregivers need to be sensitized about danger signs in their children and the need to seek timely healthcare once their children present with any one of the danger signs

Published: September 2024

Bacterial infections are prevalent in most parts of Kenya causing diseases like pneumonia, typhoid, cholera and meningitis. This has contributed to unsustainable socio-economic development following the emergence of antimicrobial resistant strains of bacteria and hence the need for alternative strategies that are not only effective against bacteria but environmentally safe as well. This study was designed to extract and profile phytochemicals present within crude leaves, flowers and roots extracts of Iris versicolor and Nerium oleander for future antimicrobial activities. The plant parts were macerated and extracted to obtain phytochemicals that were then identified under different classes of compounds by treating them with different reagents following standard laboratory procedures. About 500gms of the grounded powder of the parts were soaked in 1.5litres of Hexane, DCM and Methanol and left to settle for 24 hours after which the solutions were filtered with Whatman No. 1 filter paper. The filtrate was then evaporated to a paste using a rotary evaporator equipment. The paste was aliquoted into 20gms and refrigerated for future qualitative analysis. About 2mls of different test solutions were added to 1ml of the plant extracts solutions to obtain tannins, saponins, terpenoids, flavonoids, steroids, phenols and alkaloids. It was found that the test results of the three solvents used for the extraction of the phytochemicals showed gradient elution of the phytochemicals increasing from Hexane, DCM and Methanol. Hexane extracted tannins, flavonoids and phenols while DCM extracted tannins, saponins, flavonoids and alkaloids. Methanol with highest polarity extracted tannins, saponins, terpenoids, flavonoids and phenols. It was also observed that the polarity of the solvent determined the type of bioactive compounds with the most polar extracting different classes of phytochemicals than the less polar solvent. In all considerations, methanolic extract of Nerium oleander leaves and flowers showed positive results for all the phytochemicals present in selected plant extracts

Spatial analysis and mapping the ethnic heterogeneity of Belarus
Authors: Sokolov Aleksandr
Published: September 2024

The article examines the spatial aspects of the ethnic heterogeneity of the population of Belarus at the level of administrative districts according to the population censuses of 2009 and 2019. Ethnic mosaic index, indices of Belarusian-Russian and Belarusian-Polish contact were calculated for the entire population, as well as separately for the urban and rural population. The dynamics of the ethnic mosaic index in the period between censuses shows a decrease in the spread of values across regions - an increase in its value in areas with a low value of the indicator and a decrease in value in areas with a high value. In areas where Russians are the second largest ethnic group, the ethnic mosaic of the urban population is lower than that of the rural population, and is decreasing at a faster rate than in areas where the Poles are the second largest ethnic group. Calculation of the ethnic mosaic index separately for age groups showed that it consistently decreases everywhere from the age of older than the working age to the age of younger than the working age. A comparison of indices of ethnic contact calculated for the same ages showed that the index of Belarusian-Russian contact is decreasing especially intensively, while the index of Belarusian-Polish contact is decreasing at a very low rate, and in a number of regions it is increasing. The decline in the indices under consideration is primarily associated with assimilation processes — a change in ethnic identity, which is characteristic to a greater extent of Russians, and to a lesser extent of Poles. An assessment of the magnitude of spatial autocorrelation of the shares of Belarusians, Russians, Poles and Ukrainians made it possible to identify spatial clusters of areas with relatively high and relatively low values.

Published: September 2024

This study aims to analyze the effect of working capital, sales, and cash ratio on profitability at PT Indofood CBP Sukses Makmur during 2016-2020, using secondary data from the company's financial statements and multiple linear regression methods with Eviews. In 2017, the company's net profit decreased due to costs associated with launching new products to compete in the market. Nevertheless, product demand continued to grow among local and international customers, leading to an increase in working capital for marketing efforts. This study uses quantitative data from the financial statements of PT Indofood Sukses Makmur, analyzed using multiple linear regression to test the effect of working capital, sales, and cash ratio on profitability. The results of the study indicate that working capital does not have a significant impact on profitability due to ineffective turnover, in line with previous studies by Meidiyustiani (2016) and others. Sales have a negative impact on profitability, with high sales not covering the increase in operating costs. The cash ratio has a positive impact on profitability, although the impact is not significant, indicating that cash management is important but not the main driver of profit. Overall, this study shows that efficient use of working capital and cost management are key factors in increasing profitability.

Analysis of M/M/1 Model with Complete Breakdown during Busy Period, Optional Server with Limited Service, Complete Vacation and Delay in Repair
Authors: Shrivastava R K , Rathore Rachna
Published: September 2024

In this paper we have analyzed a single server Markovian queueing model with an optional server for limited-service time, complete breakdown during busy period, complete vacation with some delay in repair. Customers arrival follow Poisson’s distribution with rate λ. Service time during busy period is exponentially distributed with rate. The server goes under complete breakdown during busy period and hence sent for repairing. During breakdown an optional server with limited-service time is available for serving customers rather than stopping service. This optional server after completing busy period moves to working vacation for limited time period, where service time during this period is slower than busy period service time as server has some prior commitments or work to finish. As the limited-service time finishes, the server goes for a complete vacation and will not serve any customer during this period. If main server gets repaired, it immediately resumes busy period but if some delay occurs in repairing of main server, then optional server after completing vacation, will act as main server and resumes busy period until main server get repaired. The closed form expression of various system probabilities is derived. Various system performance measures like waiting time, queue length have been evaluated. Finally, some numerical and graphical results have been shown to model the impact of some parameters on different performance measures.

GOOD PRACTICES IN HOTEL BRANDING – SUSTAINABILITY TRENDS OF INTERCONTINENTAL HOTEL GROUP
Authors: Stoimenov Veselin
Published: September 2024

The branding strategy has been used by hospitality companies for many years. Recently, the positioning of a hotel or hotel chain as a company that follows an active sustainable development policy has been particularly successful. One of the reasons behind branding is to reach different segments and create customer loyalty. Branding plays a crucial role in maintaining a long-term relationship with the guest. Guest loyalty is very important for hospitality companies because loyal guests are more profitable and less price sensitive. The firm commitments of a company that has already created loyalty among its customers make demand even more inelastic. This study makes a review and analyses good practices in hotel branding. The subject of the study is sustainable development in hotel branding. The object of discussion are the good practices of IHG in this area. The strategy of the Intercontinental Hotel Group has been analysed based on its sustainable development program. The company is investing colossal sums to improve its digital presence and to make the general public aware of its sustainable commitments and good practices. Few hotel chains, even of IHG's stature, publish so much information about these commitments and actual progress of their implementation.

This study delves into the bivariate relationships between annual cyber-attack rates and various industry attributes. Utilizing time-series data as well as both Pearson and Kendall correlation analyses, we assess the linear and ordinal associations across a comprehensive dataset encompassing multiple industries. Our findings reveal that the telecommunications and digital infrastructure industries display a significant inverse relationship between cyber incident rates and systemic risk, an unexpected observation indicating that improved awareness or control of systemic risk may lead to reduced incident rates. On the other hand, the banking sector's direct correlation suggests that as systemic risk rises, so do incident rates, likely because of the sector's attractive high-value data targets. The outcomes of this bivariate exploration complement our previous empirical analysis presented in the article The Financial Impact of Cyber Risk: Empirical Evidence from Greece and the European Economic Area, conducted by the same author, offering a granular view of the cyber risk landscape. This paper aims to inform stakeholders on the pivotal interactions between industrial dynamics and cybersecurity outcomes, fostering informed strategies to mitigate risk and safeguard economic interests.
THE NEXUS BETWEEN FINANCIAL MECHANISMS AND ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM GREECE
Authors: Doksaki Eftichia
Published: September 2024

The paper aims to investigate the impact of direct and indirect financial mechanisms on the economic performance of Greece over the period 1999-2019. Employing both bivariate analysis tools and the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) technique, the study reveals diverse interactions among key macroeconomic factors. Direct finance, exemplified by heightened stock market activity, exhibits a positive impact on economic growth. Meanwhile, lagged inflation, indirect finance, and foreign direct investment emerge as significant contributors to inflation. Unemployment dynamics reveal a robust positive influence of past rates on current levels, while economic growth exhibits a negative impact, aligning with traditional labor economics. Notably, the minimal role of indirect finance in the wake of the Greek financial crisis prompts further investigation into the causal relationship between the banking sector and economic growth in Greece. The identified results point to some deviations from international patterns, underscoring the necessity for country-specific economic policy intervention.

Published: September 2024

This paper was prompted by the phenomenon of student disengagement. We decided to move beyond the frustration faced with this unprecedented situation by trying to understand the social representations of students. As much as the field of pedagogy is familiar to us, we feel a distance separating us from the students. The collective beliefs of students seem to hold the answers to the problem of disengagement, considered as a distancing of students from the university. Our goal is to understand the social representations of the student on three fundamental aspects with the perspective of reconsidering the pedagogical relationship. Three hypotheses were put forth, each corresponding to a section of an online questionnaire. The collected data were subject to qualitative analysis, and the results provide an update on what we believe a student should be. Ultimately, it will be much more about proposing a strategy for reconstructing the pedagogical rapport.
THE EFFECTS OF EDUCATIONAL STRUCTURE ON TEACHERS’ WORKING CONDITIONS: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM GREECE
Authors: Papadima Maria
Published: September 2024

The paper aims to examine the impact of educational structure on the working conditions of educators in Greece by utilizing qualitative time-series data over the period 1999-2021. Employing both bivariate tools and the Instrumental Variable Two-Staged Least Squares (IV-2SLS) technique, the study reveals diverse outcomes associated with teachers’ job satisfaction, appraisal at work and attrition risks. Results indicate no direct impact of education spending on teachers’ satisfaction rates, while, on the contrary, it becomes evident that the allocation of government funds to education, enrollment rates in primary and secondary schools, and the wider economic employment situation significantly affect teachers' appraisal value in regard to key education stakeholders. Enrolling more students in secondary schools significantly lowers the chance of teachers leaving their jobs, suggesting stability and possibly greater job satisfaction at this level. Lastly, higher enrollment in tertiary education increases attrition risk, possibly due to alternative opportunities available in the private sector.

The provision of mandatory and non-mandatory information in financial statements support transparency, informed decision making and market confidence. Disclosure of only mandatory information may not give a wholistic measurement of firms’ value thus hampering the complete measurement of shareholders ‘wealth. The main objective of this study therefore was to examine the effect of non-mandatory information disclosures on shareholders’ wealth maximization of consumer goods firms listed on the floor of the Nigerian Exchange Group from 2013 to 2024. The research design adopted for the study was ex post facto, secondary data were employed and purposive sampling technique was adopted to select 16 out of 21 listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The method of data analysis employed for the study Generalized Method of Moment regression and the statistical package employed was STATA 16. The findings of the study revealed that human capital disclosure has a significant negative effect on market value added; risk management disclosure positively and significantly affects market value added while corporate governance disclosure does not have a significant effect on market value added of the listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria. It was thus concluded that non-mandatory information disclosures have a significant effect on shareholders’ wealth maximization of listed consumer good firms in Nigeria. It was therefore recommended among others that policymakers and regulators should develop guidelines that help firms disclose relevant human capital information without overwhelming investors with potentially alarming details about costs. Corporate managers and directors should ensure that strategy and mission statements are clear, specific, and aligned with attainable plans.

Authors: Spaho Mateo
Published: September 2024

The study aims to assess financial literacy and financial culture among undergraduate accounting students in non-public institutions, focusing on knowledge, behavior, attitudes, and personal finance based on gender and employment status. A quantitative approach was used for the present research. The participants were 286 students from the Finance and Accounting training program of two universities in Albania, chosen for practical and access reasons. The questionnaires are classified into three categories: Financial Knowledge (FK), Financial Conduct (FC), Financial Attitude (FA), and Personal Finance (PF). The results were analyzed using the OECD/INFE (2023) toolkit. Results. Among the 286 participants, 60% (172) were women, and 40% (114) were men. In most of the responses analyzed, no significant differences were found in terms of participants' gender in financial literacy, especially men. Financial education is a common topic, and it should be promoted more intensively in students' lives. However, this approach requires the development of a financial literacy program for the university regardless of the field.
