The students' writing results were then examined by looking at five components, namely content, organization, grammar, vocabulary and mechanics. The data was then described using qualitative methods. The research results show that students' ability to write recount text is low. This can be seen from the average score between 56 and 65. This proves that students still experience difficulties in writing, so the quality of their writing is less than satisfactory.

WOMEN’S REPRESENTATION IN POLITICS AND LEADERSHIP POSITIONS IN NIGERIA
Authors: Ninyio Ninette Nyalyen
Published: February 2024

Women are effective change agents, and diversity and gender parity in leadership and decision-making are increasingly acknowledged in all walks of life. Women still make up a very small percentage of those who make decisions in politics, business, and society. Laws, judgements and determinations tend to become more inclusive and representative, incorporating a diverse range of perspectives when women play a meaningful and active role in leadership positions within institutions like the legislature, judiciary and executive boards. When women take on leadership positions in their households, including decisions regarding land and household money, it improves their families' access to education and healthcare. Income inequality is lower in countries where a higher proportion of women hold significant legislative positions. When women are actively involved in the formation and implementation of peace agreements, they have a 35 % greater chance of lasting at least 15 years. It has been shown that when women hold more executive positions, companies see higher profitability. Enterprises in the top quartile for gender diversity on their executive teams outperform the national average by 21 %. Nigerian companies scored better than the global average in the participation of women in the workforce. The average percentage of women at the executive level is 20 per cent which is higher than the global average of 17 per cent. Furthermore, the average percentage of women at the board level is 23 per cent, which is close to the average of 25 per cent globally. Participation of women in politics and leadership positions in Nigeria will be examined in comparison with other African countries, showing the challenges limiting such participation and recommend steps that could be taken to ensure better representation.

Authors: MSIKA NICODEMUS USWEGE
Published: February 2024

For the longest time there has been a battle towards the elimination of harmful practices against women, such battles have been fought domestically within individual countries and at the regional and international levels. In the United Republic of Tanzania some of the practices includes denial of right to inheritance to women, whereby women were denied the right to inherit clan land. Women were also subjected to female genital mutilation, on the other hand domestic wives were denied division of matrimonial properties after divorce. Later on the aforementioned challenges were dealt with through judicial decisions and parliamentary enactments. Currently, the soul breaking challenge in Tanzania is statutorily permissible female-child early marriages, whereby domestic laws in particular the Law of Marriage Act does legalize female-child marriages. This paper therefore analyzes the current situation, the challenges and solutions as against female-child marriages in Tanzania.
Gender Equality and Taxation from the Rwandan Perspective
Authors: Habimana Pie
Published: February 2024

Gender equality has attracted the attention of scholars and politicians around the world. The interest in writing about gender equality and taxation in Rwanda stems from the fact that Rwanda is seen as a country that is progressive in protecting and promoting women's rights based on the principle of gender equality. Although it is at the centre of debates worldwide, there are few academic analyses that link the principle of gender equality to taxation. This shortcoming is particularly true for developing countries, of which Rwanda is one. This paper therefore identifies the explicit and implicit gender biases in the Rwandan tax system. In doing so, it shows that Rwanda, like other modern and democratic states, has taken an important step towards eliminating explicit tax gender discrimination. However, it also highlights some grey areas that need to be addressed in order for Rwanda to remain free from implicit gender-based tax biases.
Gender Equality in the Just Energy Transition Agenda for the African Extractives Context: The Rule of Law
Authors: Kengni Bernard
Published: February 2024

The paper focuses on the benefits of the “just transition”, including gender equality. Specifically, the paper highlights how gender equality in Africa’s extractives sector can be enhanced through the just transition agenda. The paper first explains how consistent gender inequality has been in the African extractives sector due to stereotyping and gender-based exclusion. The paper argues that such inequality could be resolved if the just transition’s aim to promote a quality life for all is appropriately applied. There is currently no legal framework dealing mainly with the just transition and gender equality in the extractive sectors in African countries. However, the paper argues that current laws, policies and initiatives targeting energy and renewable energy offer some guidelines that can enhance the just transition and gender equality. Further, the paper suggests how law reform or law design for the just transition should provide for specific targets, including the realisation of gender equality. This can be achieved by making provision for the building of a necessary and inclusive workforce, protection of workers’ rights, social protection for affected communities and integration into a low-carbon economy.
Die Entzauberung des Ostens
Authors: Samsami Behrang
Published: February 2024

Der Orient gilt im Westen seit jeher als das Andere und Fremde. Er dient als exotische Gegenwelt und positiv gezeichnete Alternativkultur. Dieses Bild resultiert aus der Verflechtung politischer, ökonomischer und militärischer Ambitionen mit tradierten fantastischen Vorstellungen vom Morgenland. Im ersten Drittel des 20. Jahrhunderts erlebt diese Faszination im Westen einen besonderen Höhepunkt. Denn die Beschäftigung und Bereisung des Orients wird zunehmend auch als Strategie genutzt, um gesellschaftliche Defiziterfahrungen in Europa zu bewältigen. Hier setzt die vorliegende Studie an und untersucht bisher kaum erforschte Reisetexte von Hermann Hesse, Armin T. Wegner und Annemarie Schwarzenbach. Der Blick konzentriert sich auf die Wahrnehmung und Darstellung von urbanen Zentren und ländlichen Regionen, der Ethnien und Glaubensgemeinschaften sowie auf das Verhältnis von traditionellem Leben und der rasanten Verwestlichung der Region. Darüber hinaus wird beleuchtet, welche Spuren die Erfahrungen der Orientreisen in Leben und Werk von Hesse, Wegner und Schwarzenbach hinterlassen haben: Wie vertragen sich Wirklichkeit und Projektion des Ostens als dem 'Land der Wunder und des Reichtums'? Gelingt eine dauerhafte Verarbeitung des Modernisierungsprozesses? Was bleibt letztlich von den Reisen in den Orient?

Jenseits der Nation - das vergessene Europa des 19. Jahrhunderts
Authors: Conter Claude D
Published: February 2024

Das 19. Jahrhundert gilt immer noch als Säkulum der Nationenbildung. Die vorliegende diskurshistorische Studie erklärt nun das Jahrhundert der Nationen als eine Geschichte der Europa-Inszenierungen. Sie weist nach, dass sich die Vorstellungen der Nation erst aus dem Europa-Diskurs heraus entwickelt haben, und stellt die lebendigen Debatten vor, in denen Europa von den Zeitgenossen als politische Idee, als interkultureller Erfahrungsraum, als prospektives sozio-kulturelles Modell und als kulturelle Praxis wahrgenommen wird. Der Verfasser hat ein umfangreiches Korpus an überwiegend deutschsprachigen, politischen, historiographischen, publizistischen, juristischen, theologischen und vor allem belletristischen Texten recherchiert. Anhand dieser Schriften wird rekonstruiert, wie sich infolge der revolutionären Umbrüche und politischen Krisen seit dem Sturz Napoleons das Bewusstsein einer europäischen Identität zunächst ausbreitet, aufgrund von politischen, kulturellen, technischen und geschichtsphilosophischen Entwicklungen wandelt und mit der Reichsgründung schließlich marginalisiert wird.

Insbesondere die Literaten entwickeln eine bis heute gebräuchliche Europa-Rhetorik. Bekannte Autoren wie Heine, Laube, Rückert, Schlegel oder Fürst Pückler-Muskau, aber auch Modeliteraten wie Zschokke, Willkomm oder Storch sowie vergessene Autoren wie Adolph von Schaden haben ihre Vorstellungen vom Kontinent in Geschichten inszeniert: Sie reichen von den Vereinigten Staaten von Europa bis hin zum europäischen Einheitsstaat, von einer offenen, kosmopolitischen Gesellschaftsordnung bis hin zum Wunsch nach einer uneinnehmbaren europäischen Festung, von den europaskeptischen Geschichtspessimisten bis hin zu den messianischen Sehnsüchten nach einer Kolonialmacht.
Sexualität und Sehnsucht
Authors: Sill Oliver
Published: February 2024

Im Grunde wissen wir es alle: Die bürgerlichen Vorstellungen von Anstand, Moral und Sitte sind nicht aus der Weltverschwunden, doch haben sie ihre regulierende Kraft weitgehend eingebüßt. Die Liebe ist ein unübersichtliches Feld geworden; die monogam geführte Ehe zwischen Mann und Frau ist nur noch eine Variante im Nebeneinander höchst unterschiedlicher Beziehungsformen. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es kaum erstaunlich, dass auch die Gegenwartsliteratur in Sachen Liebe sich als ein weites Feld präsentiert, als ein breites Spektrum unterschiedlicher und unterschiedlich erzählter Geschichten, in denen die Sexualität und die Sehnsucht als die treibenden Kräfte erscheinen. Vorgestellt und detailliert besprochen werden

Romane namhafter Autorinnen und Autoren, die nicht nur ihr Publikum gefunden haben, sondern auch geeignet sind, das unübersichtlich gewordene Feld der Liebe neu zu topographieren.

Pučanin kojemu je Dubrovačka Republika podigla spomen-ploču u Kneževu dvoru
Authors: Viđen Ivan
Published: February 2024

U članku se opisuje arhivsko istraživanje povjesničara Antuna Vučetića (1845. – 1931.) o Trajanu Laliću (1686. – 1773.), trgovcu koji je pola stoljeća bio u službi Dubrovačke Republike štiteći njezine interese pred mletačkim vlastima. Iako radi svoje zapažene uloge Lalić nije nepoznata ličnost dubrovačke povijesti XVIII. stoljeća, njegova je biografija ipak do danas ostala slabo poznata. Jedini je rad o Laliću objavio 1911. na talijanskome upravo Antun Vučetić, a iz njega podatke crpe svi kasniji autori. Iako je taj Vučetićev članak kratak i sažet, prema rukopisima iz njegove arhivske ostavštine zaključuje se kako je on o Trajanu Laliću pripremao opsežniji tekst koji nije nikada dovršio i čiji se prijepis donosi. Članak je pokušaj da se na temelju Vučetićeve rukopisne ostavštine dopune spoznaje o tome sposobnom pučaninu kojemu je Republika još za života bila podigla spomen-ploču u Kneževu dvoru.

Analisis Pembebanan Statis Komponen Crossbar Clinker Cooler dengan Variasi Beban Horizontal terhadap Lubang Pasak
Authors: Akbar M. William , Arafat Andril , Sari Delima Yanti , Abadi Zainal
Published: February 2024

A clinker cooler is a very important piece of equipment in the cement industry because it functions to cool the slag or clinker that comes out of the kiln. In the cement industry, the processed clinker is first heated in a rotary kiln at °C and then lowered to temperature again. Next, the crossbar hammer crusher driven by the drive plate crushes the clinker. Clinker is transferred from the cooler inlet to the cooler outlet by this device. The performance of the main clinker cooler due to small errors can cause the kiln to stop working or disrupt other operations, such as in the mile finish area. In certain cases, cement production was disrupted due to a break in the crossbar component in the clinker cooler using the tested software Ansys Workbench 2020. It is hoped that the data from this simulation can be used as a benchmark between the results of the simulation, it can be used as a benchmark between the results of the best modified design for increasing crossbar durability through statistical loading tests with the FEA method.

Peningkatan belanja pemerintah khususnya yang ada di daerah, seharusnya berdampak pada pertumbuhan ekonomi lokal. terutama di kabupaten Minahasa. Oleh sebab itu dalam penelitian ini akan menguji pengaruh dari belanja pemerintah terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi yang ada di kabupaten Minahasa. Data yang di gunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu data pertumbuhan ekonomi dan belanja pemerintah yang ada di kabupaten Minahasa, Selanjutnya, dalam analisis ini, digunakan metode regresi linier sederhana dengan eviews 12. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun pengaruh belanja pemerintah terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi tidak signifikan, hubungan antara belanja pemerintah dan pertumbuhan ekonomi memiliki hubungan yang positif. Hal ini di sebabkan karena belanja yang di alokasikan oleh pemerintah masih banyak bersifat investasi misalnya di bidang infrastruktur yang dampak nya tidak langsung di rasakan pada waktu sekarang namun dalam jangka waktu yang panjang. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat membantu penulisan lebih lanjut tentang hubungan antara Belanja Pemerintah dan Pertumbuhan Ekonomi di Kabupaten Minahasa dan juga untuk pemerintah daerah setempat dalam hal pengambilan kebijakan.
The success of development in a country or region can be reflected in high economic growth. In encouraging its own development, the government is trying to increase government spending, which is expected to encourage economic turnover in the region, increase economic growth, and improve community welfare. High government spending should be able to influence economic growth in the region, especially in Minahasa district. For this reason, the present study will minimize the impact of government policy on economic growth in the province of Minahasa. The data used in this study are the economic and government data available in the province of Minahasa. Subsequently, the analysis in this study employs the method of regression line analysis using eviews 12.. The research results show that government spending and economic growth have a positive relationship, but the influence of government spending on economic growth does not have a significant effect. This is because the spending allocated by the government is still largely investment in nature, for example, in the infrastructure sector, the impact of which is not immediately felt now but over a long period of time. It is hoped that this research can contribute to developing literature related to government expenditures on economic growth in Minahasa Regency.

Published: February 2024

Factors influencing the utilization of health services at the community level are crucial for reducing morbidity and mortality rates. This study aimed to investigate these factors within the Ishaka division of Bushenyi-Ishaka municipality. Utilizing a descriptive cross-sectional study design, data was gathered from 200 adult residents and caregivers using a structured questionnaire administered through cluster and systemic random sampling. Descriptive statistics were employed to analyze quantitative data, revealing socio-demographic characteristics, reported health service utilization, and factors influencing it. Results indicated that health service utilization among participants was lower than the national average. Identified factors affecting utilization included poverty, limited accessibility to formal health services, negative attitudes of health personnel, and insufficient supply of essential medicines and materials at health facilities. Overall, health service uptake was moderate but slightly below national targets. This study provides valuable insights into health service utilization and the barriers hindering further uptake at the community level in Bushenyi-Ishaka Municipality, with significant implications for local and national health policy.

The Signal and the Noise: The Problem of Reproducibility
Authors: Neylon Cameron
Published: February 2024

Once again, reproducibility is in the news. Most recently we hear that irreproducibility is irreproducible and thus everything is actually fine. The most recent round was kicked off by a criticism of the Reproducibility Project followed by claim and counter claim on whether one analysis makes more sense than the other.
Policy for Culture Change: Making data sharing the default
Authors: Neylon Cameron
Published: February 2024

Open Access week is a fitting time to be finalising a project on Open Data. About two years ago I started working with the Canadian development funder, the International Development Research Center, to look at the implementation of Open Data policy. This week the final report for that project is being published.

Everyone, it seems agrees that opening up research data is a good thing, at least in the abstract.
Portrait of the Scientist as a Young Man

This is the first draft of the second chapter of a book that I’m starting to work on. The initial draft of the first chapter is also posted here. My recent post on evolution was a first pass at exploring some of the ideas needed for later chapters. It’s 5,476 words incidentally so don’t say I didn’t warn you.

I don’t think I would like to meet myself as a twenty year old.

Walking the walk – How easily can a whole project be shared and connected?
Authors: Neylon Cameron
Published: February 2024

One of the things I wanted to do with the IDRC Data Sharing Pilot Project that we’ve just published was to try and demonstrate some best practice. This became more important as the project progressed and our focus on culture change developed. As I came to understand more deeply how much this process was one of showing by doing, for all parties, it became clear how crucial it was to make a best effort. This turns out to be pretty hard.

Blacklists are technically infeasible, practically unreliable and unethical. Period.
Authors: Neylon Cameron
Published: February 2024

It’s been a big weekend for poorly designed blacklists. But prior to this another blacklist was also a significant discussion. Beall’s list of so-called “Predatory” journals and publishers vanished from the web around a week ago. There is still not explanation for why, but the most obvious candidate is that legal action, threatened or real, was the cause of it being removed.

As a researcher…I’m a bit bloody fed up with Data Management
Authors: Neylon Cameron
Published: February 2024

The following will come across as a rant. Which it is. But it’s a well intentioned rant. Please bear in mind that I care about good practice in data sharing, documentation, and preservation. I know there are many people working to support it, generally under-funded, often having to justify their existence to higher-ups who care more about the next Glam Mag article than whether there’s any evidence to support the findings.
