POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS' PERCEPTION OF GENDER BIAS IN UNIVERSITIES IN GHANA
Authors: Francis Acheampong
Published: February 2025

This research included 425 postgraduate students in Ghana, comprising 51.6% males, 45.7% females, and 2.7% who did not disclose their gender. The research examined a group of students enrolled in postgraduate programs in Ghana. A convenience random sampling method was utilized to reach respondents through an online survey conducted on the Microsoft Forms platform, distributed via WhatsApp groups. These platforms were employed due to their flexibility and the accessibility they provide to students based on their online presence. The study identified significant correlations between race and perceived gender bias. Black respondents exhibited a greater tendency than non-black respondents to foresee that females would face gender bias at university concerning discrimination, networking and mentoring opportunities, and socialization. In instances of university gender discrimination, black students reported experiencing a lesser impact compared to non-black students in terms of self-confidence, academic progression, academic satisfaction, and academic commitment. A potential explanation is that a greater proportion of black students have encountered various forms of discrimination, resulting in their heightened awareness of the continued prevalence of discrimination in multiple forms. Moreover, they exhibit a notable desensitization to acts of discrimination compared to non-black students. This represents a hypothesis and suggests further directions for future research.

Authors: Braga Elisabete Rambo , Ballejo Clarissa Coragem , Oliveira Luciano Denardin de
Published: February 2025

This qualitative study has designed to examine how the game “Let’s travel” could help with the development of the following cognitive demands: understanding the principles of randomness, sample space and comparing probabilities. Twenty-eight students from the Sixth Grade of Elementary School participated in this research. The theoretical principles that this activity was based on were the curriculum guidelines, the use of games as a teaching method, the guiding principles of teaching and learning about probability and cognitive demand. We found that the majority of students were able to recognize the sample space and we could also see that they intuitively associated the idea of randomness with luck. We also found that most students could compare probabilities by analyzing the sample space, without making any calculations. Our analysis of the results showed that this game, with intervention and support from the teacher, was a valid way of helping the students develop the cognitive demands mentioned above.

The influence of class size on teacher-student interaction
Authors:   English teacher of secondary school No 2 in Kegeyli district, Uzbekistan, Juldiz Kalmuratova
Published: February 2025

Class size is a significant factor influencing teacher-student interaction, affecting both academic performance and student engagement. This article explores the benefits and challenges of different class sizes. Research suggests that smaller classes enhance individualized attention, improve student participation, and foster better teacher-student relationships. In contrast, larger classes may limit interaction, making it difficult for teachers to provide personalized support. However, some scholars argue that teaching quality and instructional strategies play a more critical role than class size alone. Therefore, a balanced approach that integrates effective teaching methods can optimize teacher-student interaction in any classroom setting.

Rapidly rising demand for food fuelled by population growth, urbanisation and income growth offers enormous opportunities for employment creation in the agri-food sector in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA): the sector has the potential to be a driver of economic trans- formation. This policy brief highlights the main results from a GIZ-supported study of the evolving employment dynamics in SSA’s agri-cultural value chains by Michigan State University. Three main pathways are described that provide job opportunities in agricultural value chains and in the non-farm sectors. Further, the study summarizes key entry points for investment and policy actions to promote inclusive, competitive and productive agri-food systems generating employment opportunities and contributing to economic growth and transformation. In order to fully capture employment and income growth opportunities in SSA’s agricultural value chains, investment is required in the following five key areas: 1. Broad-based agricultural productivity growth; 2. Information and communication technologies (ICT) and complementary research and development (R&D);3. Education and skill development;4. Conditions for responsive policymaking on youth employment issues; and5. Interventions that reduce fertility rates and speed up the demographic transition.
Future-less-vivid conditionals and the modal past
Authors: Santorio Paolo
Published: February 2025

Future-Less-Vivid conditionals (FLVs) are conditionals that display the typical morphological marking of counterfactuals, but whose antecedent has future reference time. An example is in (i):(i) If Ada took semantics next term, she would take logic next year. The literature has coalesced on a near-consensus that FLVs cannot be contrary-to-fact. In this paper, I argue that the near-consensus is wrong. FLVs can be genuinely counterfactual: in particular, FLVs are counterfactuals about the future, i.e. can involve suppositions that contradict settled future facts. This has an interesting theoretical upshot. The behavior of FLVs is challenging for all theories on which tenses affect root modals by backshifting the time index of the modal base. These theories include all so-called Past-as-Past theories of X-marking. Conversely, the behavior of FLVs can be accommodated by Past-as-Modal theories.

The quality parameters of well and borehole water from flooded and non-flooded areas were determined by a combination of instrumental and classical methods and thereafter compared with a view to ascertaining the effect of flooding on ground water quality. With boreholes, the conductivity, total dissolved solid (TDS), alkalinity, chloride and zinc levels in the flooded part were statistically comparable to their corresponding values in the non-flooded part. With wells, chloride (106.2 mg/L), alkalinity (72.6 mg/L), hardness (118.6 mg/L), conductivity (952.3 μδ/cm), TDS (577.0 mg/L), pH (7.21), total and fecal coliform counts (236.6 MPN/100mL and 11.0 MPN/100mL respectively) in water from the flooded parts were higher than their corresponding values in the non-flooded part (70.33 mg/L, 63.3 mg/L, 75.6 mg/L, 946.3 μδ/cm , 576.0 mg/L, 7.15, 8.6 MPN/100mL and fecal coliform not-detected respectively). Contamination with harmful coliforms was found to be the most negative effect of flooding on ground water from wells as most of the quality parameters assessed were within permissible limits in drinking water except for total and faecal coliform counts. The quality of ground water from boreholes appeared to be least affected by flood proving that flooding exerts its most adverse effect on well water and if epidemiological studies show that most of the clinical cases of waterborne diseases are individuals who drink well water, then
An Empirical Study of The Environmental Sustainability of Green Libraries Initiatives in Federal Universities in Nigeria
Authors: Onwubiko Emmanuel Chidiadi
Published: February 2025

In this contemporary global ecosystem, librarians as custodians of knowledge and libraries especially university libraries who not only serve as knowledge gateway but also research hub are looked upon for not only promoting the idea of green initiative and sustainability but are also to set the pace by implementation knowing full well that the whole world look up to them to begin the change. This study is therefore an empirical assessment of the environmental sustainability of green libraries initiatives in federal universities in Nigeria. It adopted a descriptive survey research design with a sampled population of 120 librarians selected through random sampling technique from 12 University libraries in Nigeria covering the six geo-political zones of Nigeria with each zone producing 20 respondents. The primary instrument used for data collection in this study is a self prepared Likert modified type of four point scale rating structured questionnaire with section-1 lifted from the IFLA set agenda for green library and section-2 guided by IFLA checklists for green structures and information services for libraries while observation was also used to ascertain the level of compliance of the green library initiative. On this scale, the average mean benchmark is 2.50, in which case, an item is accepted if it is 2.50 and above and rejected if it is below 2.50 hence the decision rule. The questionnaires were administered through email and returned 100% with the help of research assistants. Data collected were statistically analyzed using frequencies, percentile and mean (Χ) and presented in tables. The result shows among others that apart from green buildings and equipment, sustainable library services and sustainable economy the librarians expressed high level of awareness of, other agenda that form part of the green library initiative, the librarians are not fully aware of them and the university libraries buildings were found not to be green initiative compliance as none of the university libraries ccould boast of an entire library structure made with natural biodegradable resources. It was also discovered that the university libraries provide some green information services such as providing non-print information services and sources, encouraging the use of search engines and the Internet, having websites that can be easily perused by users and adoption of e-library concepts but lag in some areas. Based on the findings, the study recommended inter-alia that federal university libraries should be reconstructed in line with the characteristics set outside by IFLA for the construction of green library in its entirety which streamlined all that is needed in making a library a green one and that librarians should be trained and re-trained on green information and communication technology (Green IT) as well as on green office principles and environmental management.

Published: February 2025

Com base na pesquisa construcionista social, compreendemos que pela linguagem se constroem sentidos e ações. Como o cinema compõe rede de significações da vida social, o objetivo desta pesquisa é descrever e analisar representações e discursos sobre lesbianidades no filme brasileiro A Partilha (2001), a partir da personagem Laura. Para a análise, assistimos ao filme buscando identificar cenas com discursos sobre a sexualidade de Laura, e elencamos todos os momentos relacionados à personagem. Então, elegemos momentos em que identificamos discursos sobre lesbianidades, e descrevemos os momentos minuciosamente, destacando elementos verbais e visuais. Os resultados e discussões sugerem que a história de Laura é marcada pela presença do “armário”. A análise também indica que o filme sustenta discursos heteronormativos e lesbofóbicos, os quais podem não representar a totalidade de vivências correspondentes às lesbianidades. Assim, a pesquisa busca contribuir dando visibilidade para como tais discursos constroem modos de vida.

Then three embedded feature selection approaches (i.e., Random Forest, XGBoost, and AdaBoost) are used to further enhance the feature-ranking efficiency and obtain better  prediction performance by applying the optimal features. For verification purpose, two real-world credit datasets are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid clustering and boosting tree feature selection (CBTFS) methodology. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method is superior to others classic feature selection methods. This indicates that the proposed hybrid clustering and boosting tree feature selection method can be used as a promising tool for solving high-dimensional issue in credit risk assessment.

Many studies conclude that galaxies quench from the inside-out by examining profiles of specific star formation rate (sSFR). These are usually measured by fitting spectral energy distributions (SEDs) assuming a fixed dust law and uniform priors on all parameters. Here, we examine the effects of more physically motivated priors: a flexible dust law, an exponential prior on the dust attenuation A
V, and Gaussian priors that favor extended star formation histories. This results in model colors that better trace observations. We then perform radial SED fits to multiband flux profiles measured from Hubble Space Telescope images for 1440 galaxies at 0.4 < z < 1.5 of stellar masses 1010–1011.5
M
⊙ using both the traditional and the more physically motivated assumptions. The latter results in star formation rate and A
V profiles that agree with measurements from spectroscopy and A
V profiles that behave correctly as a function of inclination. Since green valley galaxies at z ∼ 1.3 are expected to evolve into quiescent galaxies at z ∼ 0.9, we compare their sSFR profiles using the more physically motivated assumptions. Their slopes are similar at all masses (0.06–0.08 dex kpc−1), and the normalizations for the quiescent galaxies are lower. Therefore, the sSFR profiles decline with time as quenching occurs at all radii simultaneously. We compare profiles of green valley galaxies at z ∼ 0.9 and quiescent galaxies at z ∼ 0.5. The former are shallower at all masses by ~0.1 dex kpc−1. The sSFR profiles steepen with time as galaxies quench from the inside-out. In summary, galaxies at z ∼ 1 quench at all radii simultaneously while galaxies at z ∼ 0.7 quench from the inside-out.
Viability of the Early JUICE Flyby Trajectories to Confirm Ocean Existence at Ganymede

Published: February 2025

Ganymede is the largest moon in our solar system, and unique in producing its own magnetic field, as well as possibly possessing a subsurface ocean. The data analysis from the Galileo spacecraft provided two models for the internal field—a dipole and quadrupole model or a dipole and induction model. The latter model is preferred due to the number of parameters being less than the former, given that the model discrepancy with respect to the measurements is similar for both. While the recently launched JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) mission will focus on Ganymede in its orbital phase providing an in-depth analysis, there are flybys initially around the moon that can be used for internal field studies. We focus on the first three close flybys of the mission in order to assess how effective the expected observation would be for distinguishing between the induction and quadrupole signals and confirm the existence of an ocean. We begin with an analysis of the JUICE and Galileo trajectories in different reference frames and predict the induction signal using the time varying field of Jupiter. A comparison between the two signatures for Galileo flybys agrees with previous results indicating induction to be present. Finally, we display and discuss the feasibility and importance of the three JUICE flybys to observe the induction field and hence confirm the ocean.
Invasive Prunus serotina vs. Robinia pseudoacacia: How does temperate forest natural regeneration respond to their quantity?
Authors: Bury Sebastian , Dyderski Marcin K.
Published: February 2025

Invasive trees negatively impact forests, by making the vegetation more homogeneous when invaders are present than when they are absent. Here, we aim to more deeply understand the effects of invasive trees on forests with a focus on seedlings and saplings and how they respond to continuous variation in aboveground biomass of invaders rather than presence/absence. Our findings are useful for close-to-nature silviculture, as they elucidate how much natural regeneration will change under particular biomasses of invasive species. Specifically, we evaluate the relationships of two invasive tree species: black cherry Prunus serotina Ehrh. and black locust Robinia pseudoacacia L. with natural tree regeneration in temperate forests. We established 160 circular 0.05 ha plots in western Poland managed forests, in two different habitat types: nutrient-poor with Pinus sylvestris L. and nutrient-rich with Quercus spp. We assessed natural regeneration by counting all trees < 1.3 m in height, within four circular subplots (r = 3 m). Relationships between invader biomass and regeneration of other tree species were idiosyncratic. Natural regeneration of dominant forest-forming tree species (P. sylvestris, Quercus petraea) decreased with increasing invader biomass, while shade-tolerant, nitrophilous tree and shrub regeneration increased with invader biomass. The most negatively correlated were P. sylvestris in nutrient-poor habitats and Q. petraea in both nutrient-poor and rich habitats. We observed increased density of other non-native species as R. pseudoacacia abundance increased, in line with the invasional meltdown hypothesis.
Evaluating the Effectiveness and Corneal Aberrations After FS-LASIK and SMART (SPT-Guided TransPRK) Surgery for Myopia and Astigmatism: Retrospective Study
Authors: Xue Yanzhen , Guo Yonghong , Zhang Jun
Published: February 2025

Purpose

To evaluate the effects of SMART surgery (SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions GmbH) on corneal abnormalities and refractive errors compared to traditional femtosecond laser–assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (FSLASIK).

Methods

A retrospective case series was conducted at Xi'an Gucheng Aier-Eye Hospital, analyzing data from 83 patients who underwent FS-LASIK and SMART procedures in 2021. Pentacam (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH) measurements were taken before surgery and at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively to assess corneal higher order aberrations, spherical aberrations, and coma. Statistical analyses included an independent Student test between the two groups. Visual acuities were compared by the Mann-Whitney
U
test, paired
t
-tests, and repeated measures analysis of variance.

Results

Comparison of visual acuity at 1 week and 1 month postoperatively showed significant differences between the FSLASIK and SMART groups. After 6 months, a higher percentage of patients in the SMART group achieved spherical equivalent within +1.00 diopter compared to the FS-LASIK group. Both groups showed a shift from negative to positive Q-values, indicating improved visual quality. Corneal spherical aberrations and horizontal coma were more prevalent at 6 months postoperatively in both groups compared to preoperatively.

Conclusions

In the long term, SMART surgery demonstrates comparable results to FS-LASIK for myopia and astigmatism correction. Higher order aberrations were less common after SMART surgery compared to FS-LASIK. These findings suggest that SMART surgery may be a suitable option for patients seeking refractive surgery, considering its potential benefits for visual quality and corneal health.

Une amitié singulière
Authors: Calet Henri , Ponge Francis
Published: February 2025

En rassemblant une correspondance inédite, cet ouvrage met en lumière l’amitié singulière qui liait Henri Calet et Francis Ponge, deux figures aussi complémentaires que différentes de la vie littéraire française après-guerre. Rien ne laissait en effet présager une telle relation entre le chroniqueur désabusé dont l’œuvre connut une réception chaotique et le poète formaliste bien introduit chez Gallimard. Pendant plus de dix ans pourtant, les deux hommes échangent lettres et cartes postales jusqu’à la disparition d’Henri Calet en 1956. Ces liens amicaux se prolongent dans les échanges épistolaires entre sa dernière compagne, Christiane Martin du Gard, et Francis Ponge. Au fil des missives réunies ici chronologiquement, c’est toute la vie intellectuelle française du milieu du xxe siècle qui se découvre également, à travers les liens croisés que Calet et Ponge entretiennent avec les cercles littéraires, artistiques et journalistiques de l’époque.

Authors: Avcı Ayşen , Türk Bahar
Published: February 2025

This study explores the impact of emotional intelligence and psychological traits on entrepreneurial inclination, aiming to increase entrepreneurial activities and encourage individuals inclined towards entrepreneurship. Data were collected from 327 participants who expressed involvement in entrepreneurial activities or a tendency towards entrepreneurship in the Atakum district of Samsun/Turkey and among students at the 19th of May University's Kurupelit Campus, including those who voluntarily participated in the survey. The structural equation modeling to test the research model. The results indicate that psychological traits and emotional intelligence significantly influence entrepreneurial inclination. In this regard, it is possible to assert that individuals with high emotional intelligence are more likely to become entrepreneurs, and an individual's psychological makeup affects their entrepreneurial inclinations. It can be stated that emotional intelligence has a significant impact on psychological traits, facilitating an individual's propensity towards entrepreneurship.
