Comparative Evaluation of Dentin Surface after Preparation by Diamond Bur and Oscillating Tip, with and without Etching
Authors: Osama Yusuf-Solieman
Published: December 2023

Objective: Oscillating ultrasonic instruments were basically used to finish marginal preparation, while they produce more rough surfaces, unlike the regular surfaces produced by the rotating diamond instruments. This study aims to investigate the change of dentin roughness after etching using two different preparation tools: diamond bur and diamond ultrasonic tip. Materials & Methods:Two groups of dentin surfaces related to extracted premolars were considered: the first group consisted from 13 surfaces prepared with a Rotating Diamond Bur (RB-P), the second group consisted of 13 surfaces prepared with oscillating tip (O-P). For all surfaces, the roughness were measured using an optical profilometer microscope once after preparation and thereafter etching with phosphoric acid (35%) for 20 seconds. Two samples were imaged under scanning electronic microscope SEM only after the preparation. Surface roughness RMS, Developed Interfacial Area Ration (Sdr) and Surface Development were compared using 1-way ANOVA test, Kruskal-Wallis and ANOVA for Ranks test, respectively. Results & Discussion: Preparation with oscillating tip produced the highest value of roughness (O-P: 3.22 ± 0.73), while there was difference in roughness after the etching procedure (E_O-P: 2.27 ± 0.262) at P_value = 0.046 < 0.05. The etching procedure did not result a valuable change in the roughness in the Rotating Bur Preparation group before (RB-P: 2.72 ± 0.41) and after etching (E_RB-P: 2.39 ± 0.42) at P_value = 0.514 > 0.05. SEM images shows more irregular surface with deeper grooves on the dentinal surface in the O-P group. The highest value of Sdr is associated with the O-P group (0.71± 0.14) resulting the best adhesion. Conclusion: Etching the dentin surface with phosphoric acid affected the roughness. The effect was more noticeable when the surface is prepared with oscillating ultra-sonic tip. The choice of the preparation tool should depend only which tool is the least traumatic instrument for the marginal periodontal tissues.

Published: December 2023

Carnival is an event that is held at a certain time and can be both large and small scale. Carnival can be considered sacred if it is related to belief and can be considered as a tradition of a region with the aim of preserving culture. In the research being studied is a carnival with a satanic theme and held in Brazil. Satanic is a devil worshiping sect. In Brazil, there are very few people who adhere to satanic because the majority religion in Brazil is Catholicism. There are two main issues that will be studied, first is the satanic carnival in the perspective of the thought of the aqidah of Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah, and second is the response to how we respond to the satanic carnival that occurred in Brazil. The event drew a lot of negative criticism from the general public because after the carnival a disaster occurred which almost destroyed several cities in Brazil. However, there are not many who criticize the side of the carnival, such as the reason for the carnival being held and why there is a parade with a satanic theme. The researcher uses an analysis of the aqidah of Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah in the translation of his book Mawaridul Aman Al-Muntaqa min Ighatsatul Lahfan min Masyayidisy Syaithan (Heart Management: Paralyzing the Weapons of Satan. In this study using a qualitative method with a descriptive approach which is a type of research with the process of obtaining data is as it is. The researcher presents data obtained from the results of literature and document studies. By analyzing the data by processing it so that conclusions can be presented. The conclusion in this study is that there are two views, namely cultural elements and Islamic aqeedah. According to cultural elements, if indeed If it contains unifying values ​​such as harmony and harmony, respect for this culture is needed. However, when viewed from the perspective of Islamic aqeedah, satanic festivals can be classified as damaging aqidah if there is an element of shirk in them, such as worship of the devil.
REVISITING THE THOUGTH OF YUSUF AL-QARADAWI ON THE BOYCOTT OF PRO-ISRAEL BRANDS
Authors: Pratama Dito Alif
Published: December 2023

In the complex tapestry of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this paper embarks on a qualitative exploration of Yusuf Al-Qaradawi's endorsement of the fatwa promoting the boycott of pro-Israel brands. As one of Egypt's distinguished Muslim scholars, Qaradawi's stance holds significant weight in shaping opinions within the Islamic community. This research employs a qualitative methodology to unravel the intricacies of Qaradawi's viewpoint on the boycott and, concurrently, sheds light on his reflections concerning the roots of the prolonged conflict between the Palestinian and Israeli peoples. Delving into Qaradawi's perspectives requires a nuanced understanding of the cultural, historical, and religious dimensions he incorporates into his endorsement of the boycott. Through a qualitative content analysis of Qaradawi's writings, speeches, and sermons, this study seeks to decipher the layers of his convictions, providing a human touch to the academic exploration. It aims to revisit and describe how the notion of boycotting pro-Israel brands intertwines with the ongoing struggles in the region from Qaradawi's lens, offering a more relatable and contextualized comprehension of his position.The paper further engages in a qualitative analysis of Qaradawi's arguments endorsing the fatwa, unraveling the motivations and ideological foundations that underpin his advocacy. As a comparative qualitative analysis, this study extends its exploration to include the perspectives of the Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI), offering a rich tapestry of Islamic viewpoints on the matter. This comparative lens not only highlights the diversity within Islamic scholarship but also humanizes the discourse surrounding the pro-Israel brands boycott.

This abstract presents a comprehensive review elucidating the intricate relationship between anemia and the progression of HIV infection, incorporating epidemiological trends, underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical implications, and prognostic significance. Despite advances in antiretroviral therapy (ART), anemia remains a frequent complication in HIVinfected individuals, posing substantial challenges to patient management. This paper aims to provide a nuanced understanding of anemia's role as a prognostic marker, surpassing its conventional characterization as a hematologic abnormality in the context of HIV infection. Anemia's role as a predictive marker for adverse clinical outcomes in HIV patients is explored, encompassing increased mortality rates, heightened risk of opportunistic infections, accelerated disease progression, and compromised quality of life. The review delves into its prognostic significance, shaping therapeutic decisions and prognostic assessments. This paper encapsulates the criticality of anemia as a prognostic marker for disease progression in HIV infection. Understanding its epidemiology, pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical implications, and prognostic significance is pivotal for informed clinical decision-making, prognostic assessments, and optimizing care paradigms in HIV management.

يهدف هذا البحث إلى بيان العقائد التي اتفق عليها الأنبياء ونص النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عليها في الأحاديث النبوية، وقد وقفت على ثمان مسائل ذكرها النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم منها العامة ومنها الخاصة، وقد اعتمدت على المنهج الاستقرائي، وكان من أبرز النتائج التي خرجت بها من هذا البحث منها: بيان أن عقيدة الأنبياء واحدة وأن دينهم هو الإسلام، فيجب على أهل الملل كاليهود والنصارى الدخول في دين الأنبياء الذي أجمعوا عليه، وأن أعظم الفتن لم تظهر وأنها ستظهر في هذه الأمة لا محالة وهي فتنة الدجال وعلى المسلم أن يتبع المنهج النبوي حتى ينجو من هذه الفتنة، وللدجال علامات يعرفها كل مسلم، وأن لكل نبي دعوة قد تعجلها في الدنيا ما عدا نبينا صلى الله عليه وسلم فقد ادخرها للآخرة، وبيان أمور اختص بها الأنبياء في الدنيا والآخرة، فمما اختصوا به في الدنيا الآيات، والحواريين، وأنه لكل نبي أمين، وفي الآخرة كالحوض، وأن أحاديث ذم القدرية ضعيف ما عدا حديث وصفهم بمجوس هذه الأمة، وثمة مسائل عقدية نص نبينا على اتفاق الأنبياء عليها ولكن أدلتها ضعيفة، وقد ذكرت منها ما وقفت عليه، وهناك أمور اتفق الأنبياء عليها ولكنها ليست عقدية وإنما هي داخلة في أبواب أخرى كالفقه وغيره، ومن أهم التوصيات التي يراها الباحث: توسيع رقعة هذه الدراسة وذكر أدلة من كتب الملل الأخرى ونشر البحث بعدة لغات حتى يعلم أهل الأديان أن دين الإسلام هو الدين الحق الذي به ينجوا الخلائق، وأن على الطوائف المخالفة للمنهج الحق أن يتمعنوا في هذه العقائد، وكيف أن الأنبياء اتفقوا عليها ويسألوا أنفسهم لماذا اتفقوا عليها، وأن يشكر المسلم من أهل السنة على النعمة التي أنعم الله بها عليه وهو المنهج الحق الذي هو منهج جميع الأنبياء.
The misdemeanor court as an entity of opposition to domestic violence
Authors: Marković Saša
Published: December 2023

After the Law on Public Order and Peace in 2016 had been passed, a public space became a substance of the criminal offense referred to in this law. Given that violence in partner and family relationships most often occurs in a non-public area, misdemeanor courts have lost their previous role in protecting victims against certain forms of domestic violence that lack the characteristics of a criminal offense. However, misdemeanor courts have been assigned a new significant role through both the implementation of the Law on Prevention of Domestic Violence on 1 June 2017 and prescription of offenses set out in Article 36. They have become responsible for the prevention of domestic violence. In this paper, we will tackle certain segments of misdemeanor-legal protection of victims of domestic violence over the course of a five-year period with regards to the implementation of the aforementioned law. We believe that one of the goals of passing the law was to prevent all forms of domestic violence from the first moment of its occurrence, meaning that misdemeanor courts are an important entity in fulfilling this goal, primarily in the area of the implementation of urgent measures.
Use of restraint devices: Procedures and control of mobility
Authors: Janković Radivoje , Arlov Dragan , Vučković Goran
Published: December 2023

In this paper, the method of using restraints by authorized police officers (APO) is analysed, with an emphasis on the adequacy and efficiency of these methods in situations where legal conditions are met, specifically in preventing attacks, resistance, escape, or self-injury. After establishing quality control using other means of force, the APO can choose whether to use the means of restraint so that the hands are tied in front of or behind the back. Misjudgement with an insufficient and inadequate level of control can lead to repetition of problem situations or the emergence of new problem situations, despite the usage of means of restraint. The goal of this paper is to help define the procedure for using means of restraint, so that this means of force can be used adequately, in a safe and secure manner for both the APO and the person on whom the means of restraint are used. The results showed a decrease in running speed with the hands tied behind the back compared to when the hands are tied in the front by 4.37%, and by 5.87% when the hands are free. No significant difference has been found between running speeds with hands free and with hands tied in front of the body. Reduced mobility resulting from tying the hands behind the back allows a higher quality level of control and reduces the possibility of new problem situations occurring.
Criminal Law protection of sexual integrity of a child
Authors: Blagić Dragan , Grujić Zdravko
Published: December 2023

Criminal law protection of a child from sexual violence is very complex in nature and is achieved by prescribing crimes against sexual freedom. In the Serbian criminal legislation, in most criminal offenses, protection is provided for their qualified, i.e. more serious, form. Violation of the sexual integrity of a child in the form of sexual exploitation and abuse is one of the most serious, inhumane, crimes. Systematic study of the phenomenon of endangering the sexual freedom and integrity of child undoubtedly represents a supranational problem and overcomes the mutual social, cultural, religious and other differences of individual states. Criminal law protection is achieved by prescribing certain behaviors as criminal acts, i.e. by stipulating when certain human behaviors can be considered punishable and under what conditions, as well as by prescribing penalties for such acts. It is the most vulnerable category (child) that is placed in a special position according to which sexual freedoms and integrity are most seriously violated and endangered, which inevitably requires initiation of criminal proceedings in order to protect them. On the one hand, in the modern criminal legislation, the legal incrimination is expanding in most criminal acts when it comes to children, because, on the other hand, the number of criminal acts committed to the detriment of children is increasing. In support of this is the fact that the adopted Law on Amendments to the Criminal Code from 2009, in the chapter against sexual freedom, criminalized two new crimes: inducing a child to attend sexual acts (Article 185a) and abuse of computer networks and other technical means of communication for committing crimes against sexual freedom against a minor (Article 185b). The original text of the Criminal Code also contains incriminations of Rape ((Article 178), Sexual Intercourse through Abuse of Position (Article 179), Sexual Intercourse with a Child (Article 180), Showing, Procuring and Possessing Pornographic Material and Minor Person Pornography (Article 185) which provide protection of the child's sexual integrity. The paper analyzes criminal acts that provide basic and additional protection of the child's sexual integrity, but also examines the compliance of new normative solutions with relevant international legal documents in this area, primarily with the Council of Europe Convention on the Protection of Children from Sexual Abuse and Sexual Exploitation.
International migrations and income convergence in European transition countries
Authors: Tubić-Ćurčić Tijana , Stanišić Nenad
Published: December 2023

The subject matter of this paper is the analysis of the influence of international migrations on income convergence in European transition countries in the period 2000-2020. Convergence can be defined as the process of catching up richer countries by poorer ones, consequentially leading to the reduction of disparities in income per capita among countries. Theoretically, human migrations are a mechanism of the adjustment of the regional imbalance that contributes to the strengthening of convergence. The regression panel model was used in the research. The research results have shown that, if observed at the level of the entire sample of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the Western Balkan countries (CEE-11+WB), there is a positive and statistically significant influence of emigration on income convergence. Also, there is a positive influence of emigration on the income convergence per capita of the CEE-11 countries towards the average income of the developed countries of the EU-15. On the other hand, observed only at the level of the Western Balkan countries, there is no statistically significant influence of emigration on income convergence. The contribution of the research study reflects in filling the gap that exists in the literature on this field, since there is no large number of papers that have examined the influence of migrations on income convergence in the CEE-11 countries, as well as the Western Balkan countries.
We can all be winners: The influence of team composition and a delivery modality on business students' satisfaction and simulation performance
Authors: Chandna Vallari , Newaz Tarique
Published: December 2023

Most undergraduate and graduate business programs contain a culminating capstone experience as part of the standard curriculum. So far, business capstone courses have often strived to be uniform across modalities (i.e. either online or face-to-face, they were of uniform nature) and they have been rigorous and impactful courses. Additionally, many business programs have adopted simulations or other forms of game-based learning in their capstone courses. A sample of 122 students engaged in a simulation game as part of their capstone experience was used in this study in order to examine whether modality differences did affect the students' experiences (their satisfaction with the course and performance) or not, and also whether it helped them to be on teams comprised of different business majors or not. While, on the one hand, a hypothesis that significant differences would be seen due to a different modality and group composition was initially set, the counterintuitive findings obtained during the research were indicative of the fact that students' experiences could be positive across the modalities and the varying composition so long as the instructor's efforts were directed towards rigor, engagement, and uniformity of experience in the courses.
Methods of intelligence services in the fight against terrorism
Authors: Trbojević Milovan , Svirčević Branislav
Published: December 2023

Adequate analysis of the struggle of intelligence services against terrorist organizations requires an approach based on the methods and means of action of intelligence institutions. Terrorism is among the most represented security threats in the media and in public discourse. The increasing brutality of terrorist groups and organizations, the frequent mention in the public and the virality of terrorist acts on social networks have led to the creation of a specific fear of terrorism, which is why early detection and stopping of terrorist activities is extremely important. In the field of preventive action against terrorism, intelligence institutions play the most important role. Intelligence institutions primarily use specific methods and techniques for collecting data on terrorist threats, which enables their detection and interception. In addition, intelligence institutions also use non-intelligence methods of combat that require special analysis. On the other hand, terrorist organizations, in addition to carrying out terrorist acts, also carry out activities aimed at disrupting and disavowing intelligence institutions, which further complicates the fight against terrorism.
Defining media speech effectiveness: A case of Ukrainian president Zelenskyy's addresses to national parliaments
Authors: Talavira Nataliia , Potapenko Serhiy
Published: December 2023

The paper argues that effectiveness of media speeches, i.e., their ability to influence the addressees, largely rests on national prototypes, representing cultural entities and historic events. The national prototypes are clear and accessible, resonating with the addressees' values, attitudes, and beliefs. The article analyzes rhetorical effectiveness of Ukrainian president's addresses delivered at the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian full-scale war to parliaments of seven states: Poland, USA, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan and Greece. Volodymyr Zelenskyy appeals to the target audiences' national prototypes representing events or cultural entities correlating with Ukraine's current plight. It is found that with respect to the similarity to the national prototypes of other countries the arguments employed in Zelenskyy’s speeches fall into three types: direct, implicit, and gradual. The most effective is direct reference to prototypes at the global or national levels of the listeners' worldviews. Less effective are implicit arguments left for the addressee to be inferred like any other implicature. The least effective are gradual arguments based on presuppositions about some commonly shared information: they modify the existing national prototypes with reference to the present or future which is not always accepted by the audience.

Scaling the Timing-Based Detection of Anomalies in Real-World Aircraft Trajectories
Authors: Baege Lukas , Schaller Patrick , Lenders Vincent , Strohmeier Martin
Published: December 2023

The insecurity of ADS-B and GPS is a well-known problem in air traffic control. In this work, we introduce a statistical location verification method for crowdsourced aircraft data. We implement this method on the backend of the OpenSky Network and evaluate it on 8 months of data collected from Radarcape sensors. We thus demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in finding anomalous flight data in faster than real time. While we do not find clear evidence of widespread malicious spoofing attacks captured by OpenSky sensors, many sensor and transponder issues are unearthed. Finally, we simulate ADS-B and GNSS attacks, which were detected successfully with few false positives.
[Poster] Hidden Markov Models and Flight Phase Identification
Authors: Perrichon Rémi , Gendre Xavier , Klein Thierry
Published: December 2023

The use of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) in segmenting flight phases is a compelling approach with significant implications for aviation and aerospace research. It leverages the temporal sequences of flight data to delineate various phases of an aircraft's journey, making it a valuable tool for enhancing the analysis of flight performance and safety. In this work, we implement a multivariate HMM to identify 6 flight phases: taxi, takeoff, climb, cruise, approach and rollout. We reach a median global accuracy of about 97\% over a sample of several thousand flights with a very low number of decoded unlikely transitions. Regarding several performance metrics, our method is competitive with existing methods in the literature, such as fuzzy logic. Additionally, it provides, for each point of the flight, a probability of belonging to each phase. Even in situations where there are missing values in the data, HMMs remain effective, ensuring that no critical information is lost during the segmentation process.
Generation of Parametric Climb Trajectories considering Operational Inputs for Aircraft Engine Thrust Extraction
Authors: Bien Maximilian , Lehmann Philipp , Friedrichs Jens
Published: December 2023

For aircraft engines costs related to maintenance, repair \& overhaul make up a great proportion of the overall direct operating costs. As the aviation sector is about to face substantial technological shifts towards hybrid-electric and all-electric propulsion, tools are required to model engine operating costs and their strong interdependence to operational factors. This study presents a method for adapting the parametric climb trajectory generation of the aircraft performance model OpenAP for considering operational inputs of flight distance and ambient conditions. Flight data of Airbus A320 operated in North America are analysed for the characteristic climb parameters. The data is used to train a XGBoost machine learning model in order to link the operational inputs to the trajectory parameters. The results show, that the model is able to represent global trends in the data while staying within the limits of the original model. However, the model shows some singularities, which could be addressed by parameter tuning and expanding the data base. Eventually, the generated trajectories differ from the default trajectory of the original model, such that the average thrust per segment varies in the range of ±20% to ±10%.

Authors: Smetanová Lucie , Polishchuk Tatiana , Hardell Henrik
Published: December 2023

Point Merge (PM) arrival procedure is implemented at multiple airports around the World. There are different PM design variants: with overlapping, partially overlapping or separated sequencing legs, a position of the sequencing legs inside or outside the TMA, different geometry of the flows to PM or merging to a point; each coming with a different impact on the trade-offs associated with the structure. In this work, we investigate the usage of PM procedure in several airports around the globe using open-access ADS-B-based data provided by the Opensky Network. We analyse arrival flows at the airports with PM, and propose a catchment algorithm to see which flights from the blend are actually adherent to the procedure. Then quantify the PM utilization applying the performance indicators specifically designed for this purpose.

Scientific understanding of various aspects of the interaction of local selfgovernment and public administration is due to the theoretical and practical study and coordination of social processes occurring and maturing in the course of the modernization of society. In many cases, these relations determine not only the effectiveness of the implementation by local governments of the powers assigned to them, but also affect the course of development of the local government system.
The success of territorial modernization processes directly depends on the degree of state decision-making and local interactions, and the participation of the population in these interactions will contribute to the development of democratic forms, the formulation and solution of deep social problems.
The subject of the study is the analysis of various aspects of the development of relations between local government and public administration, as well as the features of their functional interaction.
СИНЕРГЕТИКА ПЕРЕХОДНОГО КРИЗИСА И ФЕНОМЕН МАЛОЙ КОНСТИТУЦИИ В ПЕРИОД РАСПАДА СССР / SYNERGY OF THE TRANSITIONAL CRISIS AND THE PHENOMENON OF THE “SMALL CONSTITUTION” IN THE PERIOD OF THE COLLAPSE OF THE USSR

In this work, the author examines the main prerequisites for the development of the political and legal crisis during the collapse of the USSR, identifies and analyzes the general patterns of state and legal development of law in the transitional period in the post-Soviet space, and in particular, the features of the struggle of the old and new legal orders.
The purpose of the work is to identify the axiological significance of the preconstitutional attitudes of the transition period in the process of building independent statehood in the post-Soviet republics, the constitutional identity of which is expressed in declarations of independence, as fundamental political-legal acts of state-forming significance.
The author assigns a special role to the declarations of independence of the post-Soviet republics, presenting them as "small Constitutions" of the transitional period, and also assessing their place and role in the system of sources of constitutional law in the light of their doctrinal characteristics, as well as in the light of case law of constitutional courts of some post-Soviet states.
The author, besides classical methods, also used such methods of scientific knowledge as comparative-legal and historical-legal methods.

This paper examines the ability of educational qualifications and ICT knowledge to
predict the teaching competence of teachers in the technical school setting in Osun
State. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. A sample of 40
teachers and 100 students in technical schools from two Local Government Areas (LGAs)
were selected from Osun State which formed the participants for the study. Qualification
and ICT knowledge were measured using assessment questionnaire and technical subject
teaching competence was assessed by students’ evaluation of their teachers’ competencies
in teaching with reliability coefficient of 0.85. Data were analysed using descriptive
statistical tools such as mean, standard deviation, frequency counts and linear
regression analysis statistic. The result revealed that teachers were proficient in
using smartphones, email and internet; while they ranked disc player, film stripes,
smart boards and projectors least among facilities they have proficiency in. The result
revealed that students’ evaluation of teachers’ competence was low. The study also
showed that teachers’ qualification had a positive correlation with their teaching
competence while their knowledge of ICT had a negative correlation with their competency
in technical secondary schools in Osun State. It was recommended that technical schools
should ensure that their teachers upgraded themselves in terms of qualifications,
certification and knowledge in ICT in order to meet the demands of technical
education.

Basic education policy in Nigeria is free, universal and compulsory for the first
nine years of schooling. The policy envisaged a drastic reduction in the reluctance of
parents/guardians towards basic education in parts of Nigeria where the pursuit of
qur’anic education remained predominant. So far, the free education programme had
yielded less than desirable results as the number of Out of School Children (OOSC)
remain largely and increasingly unacceptable, thus necessitating a study that
investigated stakeholders’ perspectives on the extent to which awareness and the
participation in schooling amongst school age children has been achieved. Hence, the
level of awareness and how stakeholders’ perspectives may be impacting on universal
basic education policy implementation vis-à-vis out of school children phenomenon in
Nigeria were examined. In fulfilling the objective of the study, the respondents’
perspectives were obtained through a multi-stage sampling technique. The selection of
the state was purpose driven; hence purposive sampling of Kano State, and within Kano
metropolis, North-western Nigeria, all the four Local government within the metropolis
namely: Taurani, Fegge, Nasarawa and Kano Municipal Council were Local Education
Authorities -LEAs were purposively selected. Further, 30 facilitators of qur’anic
schools who were selected from each of the 4 LEAs in Kano metropolis amounting to 120
facilitators (respondents) that were sampled, and a structured questionnaire was
administered to them. Findings revealed a high level of awareness of stakeholders on the
consequences of non-schooling. However, it was inferred that the aged facilitators of
the qur’anic schools could affect the effort and process of integrating basic education
programmes into the qur’anic schools thus exacerbating the exclusion of children from
the formal education worsening OOSC phenomenon. Recommendations were made as follows:
that qur’anic school, class-size, class-management and facilitations processes should be
standardized, to enhance curriculum integration and inclusiveness. Moreover,
enlightenment of stakeholders be intensified

In the quest for Cross River State economic development, there has been a rise in
the registrations of various small-scale business ventures. The organizational structure
of small-scale businesses in the state is influenced by environmental factors which are
political, technological, social, and economic. On this note, this study was geared
towards finding out the challenges in establishing small businesses in the state. The
purpose was centered on the survival and performance rate of small-scale businesses. It
also examined the effect of business information on new entrants into small-scale
businesses. The study was limited to only four (4) selected lines of business namely:
fish farming, poultry farming, snail farming, and grass cutter farm business. The most
important deduction from the study was the desire of the would–be Businessmen to be
self-employed. The study also revealed that new applicants started their businesses
without any feasibility study or business information

Enhancing the production of highly skilled professionals is a key objective in
university education for fostering economic and national development. Understanding
students' progress in relation to doctoral degree completion is crucial for institutions
seeking improvement. In this study, various institutional factors such as Teaching and
Learning Methods, Skills Development, Assessment and Feedback Mechanisms, and
Organization and Management were evaluated to assess their impact on indicators like
professional exposure, learning environment, and achieving doctoral degrees in Nigerian
universities. The research employed a non-experimental correlation design, involving 126
respondents selected from three South West universities using a multi-stage sampling
technique. Data collection utilized the Institutional Factors and Doctoral Degree
Completion Questionnaire (IFDDCQ). Research questions were addressed through descriptive
statistics and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The findings indicated a significant
and positive relationship between doctoral degree completion and factors such as access
to teaching and learning materials (r=0.412, p<0.01), skill development (r=0.395,
p<0.01), assessment & feedback mechanisms (r=0.328, p<0.01), and
organizational & management influence (r=0.615, p<0.01). Consequently, it's
recommended that both the government and universities allocate resources to support
timely completion of doctoral programs and organize seminars to educate students on
strategies for completing their PhDs within reasonable timeframes

The aim of the research is to analyze the role of entrepreneurial education management in creating entrepreneurial competitive advantages for students at MA Al-Rahman Sukabumi. The research method uses a case study with a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques use interviews, observation and literature study. Data analysis using the NviVo 14 application. The research results show that entrepreneurship education management has a role in creating a competitive advantage in entrepreneurship for MA AL-RAHMAN Sukabumi students. The role of entrepreneurial management is to foster an entrepreneurial spirit in MA AL-RAHMAN Sukabumi students through entrepreneurship learning, business planning, direct practice of F-CLEAN (in the organizing section), implementation and evaluation. Meanwhile, the role of educational management is to create competitive advantage through the perspective of customer value (not easily imitated), having interest, self-confidence and the unique value of special F-CLEAN products. With the role of entrepreneurship education management, it is hoped that inhibiting factors such as students' lack of interest in entrepreneurship and being shy about starting a business can be overcome through entrepreneurship education management.
