FENOMENA KEMATIAN DALAM HIKAYAT RAJA JUMJUMAH: Sebuah Analisis Semiotika-Pragmatis Charles Morris
Authors: Jalil Maman Abdul
Published: March 2024

Hikayat Raja Jumjumah is a classic Malay literary work with a religious theme which contains signs of an interesting readership and receives responses, both domestically and abroad. The purpose of this study is to reveal the description of the meaning of "life" after death through signs in the Hikayat Raja Jumjumah, and the phenomena regarding death in the Hikayat Raja Jumjumah. This study uses semiotic-pragmatic theory of  Charles Morris.. This is based on the fact that literary works are a system of meaningful signs and these signs only gain meaning if they are given meaning by the reader. The method used in this study is related to semiotic-pragmatic theory. At the semiotic level, the center of meaning or the key word lies in "life" after death in the Hikayat Raja Jumjumah. While at the pragmatic level it is used to reveal the phenomenon of death based on the results of the meaning of "life" after death in the Hikayat Raja Jumjumah. The results of the study show that the view of death in the Hikayat Raka Jumjumah is based on an Islamic perspective. The Islamic view of death is based on the Al-Quran and Hadith, which state that after death there is life, namely the hereafter. The meaning of "life" after death through signs in the Hikayat Raja Jumjumah is the event of death, the grave, the torment of hell, and regret. The results of this interpretation are the basis for uncovering the phenomenon of death in the Hikayat Raja Jumjumah. The phenomena of death that can be revealed in Hikayat Raja Jumjumah are: (a) the phenomenon of death in the event of death related to death, namely suul khatimah; (b) the phenomenon of death in the grave, namely the torment of the grave; and (c) the phenomenon of death in the torment of hell, namely the recompense for those who commit sins in the world in the form of a very terrible punishment in hell. Keywords: phenomenon; Raja Jumjumah saga; life; death; script

Published: March 2024

Low dose methotrexate (MTX) still remains as the cornerstone in the treatment of rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis. Clinicians have been aware of common side effects of MTX for over five decades, whereas there have been rarely seen and relatively easily overlooked complications that had been reported to be associated with MTX in the literature, such as MTX osteopathy. The use of high doses of MTX has been demonstrated to have negative effects on bone formation and bone mineral density as well as long-term low dose, which is relatively less common. Diagnosis of MTX osteopathy might be challenging as there is no specific clinical features. Herein, we present 3 patients with RA diagnosis who developed MTX osteopathy during follow-ups.
Comportamento de oviposição de Tuta absoluta (MEYRICK) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae): influência química ou visual?
Authors:   , Araujo Regiane Corrêa
Published: March 2024

A traça do tomateiro da América do Sul, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), invadiu a maioria dos países afro-eurasianos e está ameaçando a produção mundial de tomate. Várias estratégias têm sido desenvolvidas e implementadas para o manejo dessa praga. Aqui, apresentamos uma pesquisa sobre a influência de fatores químicos e/ou visuais e a dependência da densidade de ovos e/ou minas na oviposição de T. absoluta nas folhas de Solanum lycopersicum. Além disso, observamos se inseticidas reduzem a emergência de neonata ou matam os ovos de T. absoluta. Mudas de tomateiro da variedade Santa Clara, foram obtidas em bandejas de isopor com substrato de vermiculita, com 30 dias. Não foi verificada relação entre a ocorrência de galerias e a taxa de oviposição, já que o número de ovos postos na folha do tomateiro foi semelhante ao posto em folhas previamente infestadas por ovos. O aumento da pré-infestação do folíolo de S. lycopersicum reduziu o número de ovos por folíolo, reforçando a preferência da fêmea por folhas não ovipositadas. Foram observadas diferenças significativas na oviposição da traça do tomateiro em relação aos tratamentos para avaliar o efeito químico e/ou visual. Os ovos artificiais não levaram a planta a emitir pistas químicas de oviposição, sendo interpretados pela fêmea como uma planta não ovipositada e, portanto, leva à observação de que não houve efeito visual para a seleção do tratamento, apenas químico. T. absoluta não sofreu qualquer influência visual na escolha do local de oviposição. A presença de galerias não impede a oviposição, mas reduz o número de ovos por postura. As pistas químicas, emitidas pela planta com galerias e/ou pelo extrato das lagartas, fêmeas adultas ou ovos esmagados, reduzem amplamente o número de ovos por postura e alteram, de maneira negativa, o índice de preferência de oviposição. A preferência por folhas livres de ovos ou galerias mostra que a fêmea detecta os estímulos químicos emitidos pela planta e evita a oviposição na planta quando esses compostos são liberados, revelando que a oviposição é determinada por fatores químicos e não por fatores visuais.

The Impacts of Undi 18 on Political Participation, Awareness and Readiness
Authors: Siang Ling Audrey Low , Puyok Arnold
Published: March 2024

The implementation of Undi18 on December 15, 2021, added an estimated 5.8 million new voters aged 18 and older to Malaysia's political landscape. While some see this as a timely move to introduce young people to civic responsibility and encourage active participation, others argue that 18-year-olds are too immature and have low awareness with only 29.03% of the youth participating in the political socialization domain. Consequently, it is crucial to assess the level of awareness and readiness among young people and their readiness to actively engage as voters. This study aimed to assess the level of youth awareness and readiness towards Undi18, examine the extent of their political participation, and analyse factors influencing their awareness and readiness. The study was conducted in Kuching, Sarikei, and Sri Aman, with 585 first-time voters aged 18 to 20 years surveyed via a questionnaire and 30 respondents in focus group discussions. The study found that parental involvement, political experience, social media exposure, educational exposure, and perception of and relationships with politicians were the five main factors influencing youth political participation and awareness and readiness towards Undi18. Geographical factors did not affect the level of awareness and readiness regarding Undi18. Despite the majority of respondents being aware of Undi18 and ready to participate as voters, a significant number were not prepared for higher forms of political participation.

Бугунги кунда инвестициявий арбитраж соҳасида тенденциявий тусга эга бўлаётган феномен бу – учинчи томоннинг арбитраж ишларини молиялаштиришидир (Third Party Funding). Бунда арбитраж трибуналининг якуний қарори даъвогар фойдасига чиқарилса, келиб тушадиган маблағларнинг маълум қисми айнан учинчи томон ҳиссаси бўлиб қолиши амалиётда кўп кузатилади. Масалан, учинчи томон сифатида молиялаштиришга ихтисослашган компания, даъвогар-инвестор билан келишув асосида арбитраж жараёни билан боғлиқ харажатларнинг ҳаммасини ёки бир қисмини қоплаш мажбуриятини олади. Бунинг эвазига, ҳомийлар тўғридан-тўғри харажатлари учун компенсация ва/ёки даъвогарга берилган сумманинг бир қисмини оладилар.

The Repeated Election of Established Politicians as a Key Factor in Nigeria’s Underdevelopment
Authors: Ezeudu Tochukwu S. , James Fadeyi Taofiq
Published: March 2024

This study delves into the recurring election of established politicians and its multifaceted implications for Nigeria’s development trajectory. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research analyzes the effects of political incumbency on key development indicators, encompassing economic growth, infrastructure development, and governance efficiency. The study sheds light on the complex interplay between political dynamics and development outcomes through quantitative analysis, qualitative insights, and theoretical frameworks such as the Principal-Agent Theory. The findings reveal a nuanced relationship between political incumbency and development indicators. While some indicators exhibit positive growth, others demonstrate fluctuations or stagnation, echoing the trade-offs between short-term electoral gains and long-term development goals. Qualitative insights complement the quantitative results by highlighting concerns of limited accountability, reduced responsiveness, and stifled innovation associated with prolonged incumbency. Drawing on international experiences, the study offers comparative insights into the challenges and potential solutions. The discussion underscores the importance of striking a balance between electoral considerations and sustainable development objectives. The study recommends reforms such as term limits, electoral transparency, and support for emerging leadership to promote political diversity and informed decision-making. These recommendations can contribute to fostering an environment conducive to balanced and holistic development in Nigeria.

This research aims to analyze the influence of profitability and solvency on share prices with the dividend policy variable as a moderating variable in Food and Beverage sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2020-2022 period. Currently, unstable economic conditions have changed the behavior of investors, who have become more careful in allocating their capital. Share prices are considered a reflection of company value and are a major concern for investors. The food and beverage sector in Indonesia offers attractive investment potential due to increasing demand and products that compete in the global market. Data analysis in this research involves food and beverage companies listed on the IDX during the 2020-2022 period. PLS analysis technique- Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the help of the SmartPLS 3 application. Research findings show that profitability, as measured by Return on Assets (ROA), and solvency, as measured by the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), do not have a significant influence on price changes share. Apart from that, dividend policy also does not have a significant impact on share prices. Furthermore, it was found that dividend policy did not significantly influence the relationship between ROA and share prices, but there was limited moderation in the relationship between DER and share prices.
Interrogating the Paradox--Availability of Funds and Paucity of Infrastructure/Social Amenities in Nigerian Local Government Areas: Conundrum of the Selected State (2011-2018)
Authors: Nnaeto Japhet Olusadum , Nwambuko Temple Chukwukadibia
Published: March 2024

Concerns have been expressed very often as to why the intergovernmental relations in the federal system of many developing countries, especially in the Sub-Sahara Africa are predictably chequered. Lack of devolution of power to LGAs in Nigeria is usually at the expense of grassroots development especially with regards to infrastructure/social amenities. Besides, the confusion surrounding progressive decline in provision of rural infrastructure to the local government areas of the state despite humongous monthly fiscal allocations to the LGAs by Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) equally creates existential problems to the rural dwellers. It is on this note that the study seeks to investigate the apparently disturbing paradox in Imo State. Data were sourced from both secondary and primary sources. Secondary data was sourced from government gazette and related literature while primary data was elicited from respondents through structured questionnaire. Multiple regression and graphical/pictorial analytical techniques were used for secondary and primary data respectively. The findings indicated that lack of transformative leadership exhibited in embezzlement of funds and indifference in leadership on the part of the State agents were the significant causes of poor development in the rural areas of Imo State. The study recommended inter alia; the enforcement of attitudinal change and punitive sanctions on the political and administrative classes in the state through legal measures to protect public funds for service delivery.

Data was obtained from 26 students who filled out and returned questionnaires from 42 students who participated in online tutorial activities for environmental chemistry courses. The instrument used is a questionnaire containing questions developed from 6 indicators of student involvement in learning. The data obtained are analyzed descriptively. The results obtained show that: 1) Students tend to be motivated to follow online tutorials (agree = 76.53%, strongly agree = 14.44%), 2) Students are able to collaborate with friends in tutorials (agree = 71.42%, strongly agree = 28.57%), 3) Students are able to solve cognitive problems (agree = 90.46%, strongly agree = 9.53%), 4) Students are able to interact with lecturers (agree = 88.56%, strongly agree = 11.44%), 5) Students feel supported by the community (agree = 92.85%, strongly agree = 5.36%), and 6) Students are able to manage their learning (agree = 76.17%, strongly agree = 21.92%). Other research results in the form of student expectations statements, namely: 1) Online tutorial materials should be made more innovative, 2) increase practice questions, 3) prefer if lecturers respond directly to the results of discussions in a faster time so that students can improve discussions and become more active. Other responses conveyed by students are: 1) students like to gain knowledge and open new interesting insights related to environmental problems, 2) students want to deepen the material, 3) students are motivated to find solutions to problems faced in the field, 4) tutors pay enough attention because they remind students of the deadlines for completing discussions and assignments.
El espesor cortical en correlación con la sensibilidad al dolor y a la temperatura
Authors: Erpelding Nathalie , Moayedi Massieh , Davis Karen D.
Published: March 2024

Está bien establecido que existe una variabilidad individual en la sensibilidad al dolor y a la temperatura. Los estudios de imágenes cerebrales funcionales han encontrado que la variabilidad interindividual al dolor por calor se correlaciona con la actividad cerebral en las áreas de modulación sensorial y del dolor. Así, es posible que esas diferencias individuales estén asociadas a la variabilidad en el espesor de la materia gris de las regiones corticales involucradas en la termorecepción y el dolor. Para probar esto, hemos investigado la relación entre los umbrales térmicos y el espesor cortical en 80 sujetos sanos. Los sujetos fueron sometidos a una sesión psicofísica para determinar sus umbrales en la detección de frío (DF), la detección de calor (DC), del dolor al frío (DolF) y dolor al calor (DolC). De cada sujeto se adquirió una imagen de resonancia magnética estructural de alta resolución. Hemos correlacionado cada medida del umbral al espesor cortical de las regiones asociadas a la termorecepción y al dolor. Los umbrales promedio (± DE) fueron 30.7°C (± 0.8) para DF, 33.8°C (± 0.7) para DC, 11.7°C (± 9.7) para DolF, y 45.3°C (± 2.8) para DolC. El análisis de la materia gris cerebral reveló una fuerte correlación entre una mayor sensibilidad térmica y dolorosa y el engrosamiento de la corteza somatosensorial primaria. Adicionalmente, la mayor sensibilidad a los estímulos fríos se correlacionó con el engrosamiento cortical del lóbulo paracentral, y una mayor DC se correlacionó con la disminución en el espesor en la corteza cingulada media anterior. Hemos encontrado además que una mayor sensibilidad al DolC se correlacionó con la disminución en el espesor de la corteza cingulada media posterior y la corteza orbitofrontal. Estas correlaciones entre la materia gris cerebral y la sensibilidad a la temperatura y al dolor proporcionan las bases neurales para las diferencias individuales en la sensibilidad térmica.

In recent years, traditional olive groves have undergone a shift towards modern farming practices, raising concerns about their potential impact on local fauna. Despite the documented effects of various agricultural practices on wildlife, there is a notable gap in understanding the implications of pruning practices in traditional olive groves. This study presents a unique observation, the first documented adverse effect of pruning on an olive tree within a traditional grove in Lesvos, Greece, inhabited by Persian squirrels (Sciurus anomalus). Beyond immediate impacts, we conducted comprehensive measurements of both the pruned olive tree and the squirrel’s nest (den), along with an assessment of the entire grove. The findings highlight the need for ecologically informed olive grove management to sustain biodiversity in these historically significant environments.

Published: March 2024

Este artigo é fruto de uma pesquisa de Iniciação Científica – IC, desenvolvida durante o curso de graduação em Letras Inglês, nos anos de 2021 e 2022, na Universidade do Estado da Bahia - UNEB. Objetivou-se com esta pesquisa analisar discursivamente uma campanha publicitária do Mc Lanche Feliz, da Rede McDonald’s, divulgada através do canal McDonald’s Brasil, via plataforma Youtube, no primeiro semestre de dois mil e vinte e um. Para isso, observou-se a construção do discurso publicitário voltado para o público infantil utilizado na campanha Mergulhando no McLanche Feliz (2021). A metodologia adotada para a análise dos enunciados verbo-visuais presentes na campanha seguiu os postulados teóricos do Círculo de Bakhtin (2018), bem como o esquema analítico-metodológico elaborado por Ferreguett (2014). Além disso, discutiu-se também os conceitos de cyber-infância (Levin, 2007; Girão, 2018) e consumismo (Bauman, 2008). A partir das análises, concluiu-se que a equipe de marketing do McLanche Feliz está atenta não apenas ao universo das crianças, como também a elementos discursivos como a interação, a enunciação e a semiótica na composição de sua propaganda. Descobriu-se também que há uma tendência da empresa na redução do tempo de duração do vídeo comercial sem que ocorra perda de aceitabilidade do conteúdo exibido.

This mini-review aims to provide an overview of some commonly used anti-inflammatory herbs in Indonesia. Inflammation is a complex physiological response that plays a role in various diseases, and herbal remedies have been used traditionally in Indonesian culture for their potential anti-inflammatory properties. We utilize Portal Garuda as the primary database for searching herbs with anti-inflammatory activity using the keyword "anti-inflamasi”. The selected herbs discussed in this review include turmeric (Curcuma longa), ginger (Zingiber officinale), clove (Syzygium aromaticum), and cinnamon (Cinnamomum sp.). These herbs have been reported to possess anti-inflammatory effects through various mechanisms, such as inhibition of pro-inflammatory enzymes and cytokines, antioxidant activity, and modulation of immune responses. Moreover, these herbs have also demonstrated safety profiles in traditional use. However, further scientific research is needed to elucidate the specific bioactive compounds responsible for their anti-inflammatory effects and to determine the optimal dosages and formulations for therapeutic use. The exploration of Indonesian anti-inflammatory herbs could contribute to the development of natural and affordable options for managing inflammatory conditions, complementing conventional treatments, and promoting overall health and well-being.

The aim of this study was to identify two screening methods which one was more effective in detecting preeclampsia so that initial treatment of mothers with abnormally elevated blood pressure could minimize complications that might occur.

Methods: The study was the prevalence ratio with cross sectional approach by assessing the association between Mean Artery Pressure and Roll Over Test as a preeclampsia screening method. The population were 62 respondents. The sample of 54 respondents were obtained in this study with accidental sampling technique. The instrument used an observation sheet. Univariate analysis was used for identifying frequency distribution and bivariate analysis with chi square test.

Results: Less than half of preeclampsia screening with the MAP method in third trimester pregnant women with a positive result of 40.7%. Less than half of preeclampsia screening with the ROT method in third trimester pregnant women with a positive result of 38.9%. Less than half of third trimester pregnant women experience preeclampsia by 25.9%. There was a relationship between the MAP screening method and a p-value of 0.001 (<0.05) and a prevalence ratio of 2.022. There was a relationship between the ROT screening method and a p-value of 0.004 (<0.05) and a prevalence ratio of 1.152. The most influential screening method in detecting preeclampsia was the MAP method with an RR value of 11.694, meaning that the MAP method was 11.694 greater in detecting preeclampsia, while the ROT method was 5.067 in detecting preeclampsia.

Conclusion: The most influential screening method in detecting preeclampsia was the MAP method

Spam Detection in Social Networks Using Machine Learning
Authors: Miss. Sneha Bajirao Sahane
Published: March 2024

Many social media platforms have emerged as a result of the online social network's (OSN) rapid expansion. They have become important in day-to-day life, and spammers have turned their attention to them. Spam detection is done in two different ways, such as machine learning (ML) and expert-based detection. The expert-based detection technique’s accuracy depends on expert knowledge, and the manual process is a time-consuming task. Thus, ML-based spam detection is preferred in OSN. Spam identification on social networks is a difficult operation involving a variety of factors, and spam and ham have resulted in an imbalanced data distribution, which gives an advantage to spammers for corrupting our devices. Spam detection based on ML algorithms like Logistic Regression (LR), K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Decision Trees (DT), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and XGB, Voting Classifier (VC), and many other algorithms are used to design the address balance and to attain high assessment accuracy. There is a non-balance issue. Text is vectorized by vectorizers and all the relative results are stored. The experimental result shows that, as compared to KN, NB, ETC, RF, SVC, LR, XGB, and DT, the proposed VC provides a higher classification accuracy rate of 97.96%. The proposed methods are effective in identifying balanced and imbalanced datasets, as evidenced by the validation results. The website was created to detect messages as spam or not.
A review on staged design of water distribution networks
Authors: Tsiami Lydia , Makropoulos Christos , Savic Dragan
Published: March 2024

Water distribution networks (WDNs) evolve continuously over time. Changes in water demands and pipe deterioration require construction upgrades to be performed on the network during its entire lifecycle. However, strategically planning WDNs, especially for the long term, is a challenging task. This is because parameters that are essential for the description of WDNs in the future, such as climate, population and demand transitions, are characterized by deep uncertainty. To cope with future uncertainty, and avoid overdesign or costly unplanned and reactive interventions, research is moving away from the static design of WDNs. Dynamic design approaches, aim to make water networks adaptive to changing conditions over long planning horizons. A promising, dynamic design approach is the staged design of WDNs, in which the planning horizon is divided into construction phases. This approach allows short-term interventions to be made, while simultaneously considering the expected long-term network growth outcomes. The aim of this paper is to summarize the current state of the art in staged design of water distribution networks. To achieve that, we critically examined relevant publications and classified them according to their shared key characteristics, such as the nature of the design problem (new or existing network design, expansion, strengthening, and rehabilitation), problem formulation (objective functions, length of planning horizon), optimization method, and uncertainty considerations. In the process, we discuss the latest findings in the literature, highlight the major contributions of staged design on water distribution networks, and suggest future research directions.
Data Driven Monitoring of IOT enabled Water Distribution Networks

Published: March 2024

Real time monitoring capabilities of many domestic water networks are still very limited. This could lead to several direct and indirect issues such as inability to detect leaks leading to wastage of water, failure to identify over usage and exploitation of water by certain end nodes in the system, non-equitable supply of water and abnormalities like pipe volume reduction due to scaling and deposition of silt in pipelines. Since water networks are expected to operate for several decades, these issues lead to large uncertainty in the quantity of the water being supplied and utilised by any community. The present work proposes a system for monitoring the water supply system with the help of Internet of Things (IoT) where sensors and free spectrum communication techniques measure, transmit, store and analyse parameters of interest like flow, level and vibration. Here we make use of easily available and economically feasible sensing techniques like ultrasonic level sensors, hall effect based flow sensors and 3 axis gyroscope based vibration sensors. Suitable communication modules based on free spectrum transmission techniques like HC-12 and LoRa are utilised for transmitting the data from the sensor nodes. This work emphasizes the use of non-intrusive sensing methods, thereby reducing the difficulties arising due to disruption in water supply during installation and maintenance of the system. Low-cost monitoring capabilities and scalability are inherent advantages of the proposed work.

Message Framing in CSR Advertising on Social Media during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Kwon Kyeongwon , Lee Jaejin , Wang Cen
Published: March 2024

In response to the environmental and social challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses are actively seeking ways to generate social benefits while also boosting their financial performance. Corporations are embracing corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices as a means to achieve this dual objective. This study aims to investigate how global corporations have responded to the pandemic by promoting their CSR commitments through CSR advertising. A quantitative content analysis was conducted to examine how leading global corporations promote their CSR practices on social media during the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the study examined CSR advertising posts from twelve global corporations’ Instagram accounts across the years 2019, 2020, and 2021, totaling 886 posts. The findings show that corporations immediately responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by adopting CSR practices in myriad areas of social concern and strategically framing those efforts through CSR advertising. This study contributes to the CSR literature by providing an instrument for scholars and practitioners to reevaluate the role of business and CSR initiatives during uncertain times. Furthermore, it highlights opportunities for corporations to prioritize CSR initiatives, not only during the pandemic but also in the long term, to achieve a balance between social, environmental, and economic goals
La reforma de la fiscalidad sobre el carbono como elemento central del liderazgo de la Unión Europea contra el cambio climático
Authors: González-Gaggero Prieto-Carreño Pedro
Published: March 2024

En el marco del paquete Fit for 55, la Unión Europea (UE) ha decidido reformar sustancialmente su política de «precios de carbono», el principal instrumento del que dispone para alcanzar sus objetivos de descarbonización. Los elementos de esta política son puramente fiscales, como la reforma de la Directiva 2003/96/CE, de fiscalidad de la energía y los productos energéticos, o bien de naturaleza equivalente a la fiscal, como es el caso de la reforma del mercado europeo de derechos de emisión o la introducción del nuevo Mecanismo de Ajuste Fiscal de Carbono en Frontera.
El resultado de la aplicación conjunta de las nuevas medidas será el de añadir unos muy importantes sobrecostes por carbono a las actividades económicas que se desarrollan en la Unión, lo que contribuirá a que se produzca una transformación de la actividad industrial y el transporte en la UE de un ritmo e intensidad desconocidos hasta ahora. Para los profesionales y estudiosos de la materia fiscal, no es posible desconocer que las medidas tributarias y de naturaleza equivalente que adopte la UE van a jugar en este contexto un papel más determinante del que hayan tenido nunca en los procesos de transformación de la economía vividos en el viejo continente.

Authors: Ballester Laguna Fernando
Published: March 2024

Aunque la igualdad real y efectiva entre mujeres y hombres constituye todavía un desiderátum, existe un firme compromiso para conseguirla que se plasma tanto en nuestra Constitución como en el Tratado de la Unión Europea, la Carta de Derechos Fundamentales de la Unión Europea y la Carta Social Europea. Naturalmente, el logro de este derecho humano fundamental nos concierne a todos y a todas y, de una manera especial, a las personas integrantes del Poder Judicial, quienes con sus resoluciones pueden contribuir decididamente a su consecución.
Para poner en valor el papel que juezas, jueces y tribunales desempeñan en la restauración y en la promoción de la igualdad por razón de sexo, hemos querido que la sección de «Diálogos con la Jurisprudencia» de este número se dedique monográficamente a ello. Se ofrece así a los lectores y lectoras los análisis críticos de cinco sentencias recientes que abordan esta problemática desde distintas perspectivas o ángulos. Análisis que han sido encargados a reconocidas y reconocidos especialistas en la materia, a quienes desde estas líneas agradezco sus valiosas aportaciones.
The Contribution of Food Waste Management on Hotel Sustainability in Kenya
Authors: Ndung’u Mary Wanjiku , Magaju Purity
Published: March 2024

This study sought to find out the contribution of food waste management on hotel sustainability in Kenya. For a long time, food waste has remained a global challenge from its collection to its disposal. Food waste has a great impact on the overall business revenue and the environment. In the hotel industry, food waste is a major concern to management, and they are keen on looking for the best ways to reduce food waste. Hotel sustainability will remain uncertain if food waste is not addressed; the hotels will continue to incur additional operational costs and still degrade the environment. Empirical evidence from developed nations has concentrated on food waste management from an emerging economic perspective. Therefore, this article presents the current state of food waste in the food service industry and hospitality from a sustainability perspective. It employs systematic review achieved through searching, evaluating, and synthesising peer-reviewed articles related to food waste and hotel sustainability in the hospitality industry. This study identified various journals with quantitative, qualitative, mixed method and experimental approaches, which were published in different journals. The study findings indicated that food waste management not only significantly influences the sustainability of hotels but also changes the image of the hotel industry by reinvigorating new practices, measures and indicators of best practices in managing the environment and social and economic aspects of nature. The outcome of this study is expected to disclose food waste patterns, causes, and preventive measures in the hospitality and food service sector that can enlighten future research as well as inform policymaking concerning food waste.
