Published: October 2023

The provision of clean water, microorganisms-free water is crucial in preventing the transmission of waterborne diseases. This study was conducted with the objective of evaluating the bacteriological quality of water sources accessible to students within Nasarawa State University Keffi. Sixteen samples, comprising ten from piped source, three from boreholes, and three from wells, were subjected to bacteriological quality assessment. The total bacterial count was analyzed using the pour plate technique, while the total coliform count and bacteriological index were assessed through the most probable number technique. Among the various water sources examine, pipe-borne water exhibited the lower bacterial contamination with a mean of 0.6×106 CFU/100 mL in contrast to borehole and well water sources, which recorded mean of 1.6×106 and 3.2×106 CFU/100 mL, respectively. Additionally, pipe-borne water demonstrated the lowest mean total coliform count, registering 22 MPN/100 mL. Notably, Notably, the water samples were found to harbor bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Enterobacter aerogens, and Citrobacter sp.  Alarming findings from this study highlight the unsuitability of most water samples for human consumption, as they fail to meet the quality standards established by the World Health Organization. Consequently, it is necessary to implement measures aimed at safeguarding water sources from contamination and curbing the proliferation of diseases. Furthermore, it is pertinent to prioritize adequate treatment of domestic water sources prior to consumption to ensure public health and well-being.

Authors: Rozy Yahya Fathur
Published: October 2023

This article will discuss how hermeneutic influences the exegesis of the Qur’an initiated by Muslim feminists. Through hermeneutical principles, Muslim feminists develop their own theories and methods in presenting new interpretations of the Qur'an. This research will focus its discussion on one of the well-known Muslim feminists, Amina Wadud. Through a critical study of text analysis, this research will try to answer questions about (1) the necessity of using the hermeneutical method in feminist interpretation, (2) the influence of hermeneutics on Amina Wadud's method of interpretation. This paper will highlight this event using a socio-historical approach and content analysis. In addition, references related to the patterns of Islam integrity and culture will be used with a comparative pattern. The conclusion of this research is that through historical critical analysis tools and text criticism inspired by hermeneutical principles, Amina Wadud succeeded in creating her own interpretation method and developing an interpretation approach that is not gender biased and emphasizes the principal and universal messages contained in the Qur'an.

Corporate Lifecycle and Default Risk
Authors: Lee Heiwai , Xie Yan Alice
Published: October 2023

We find a nonlinear relation between corporate lifecycle and default risk. Default risk is significantly higher for growth and decline firms when compared to mature firms, after controlling for firm specific and macroeconomic factors on default risk. The shorter distance to default for introduction firms vis-a-vis mature firms are, however, mostly explained by known determinants of default risk. Whereas the 2008 financial crisis adversely impacted all firms, the elevation in default risk was intensified among mature firms. Further results show greater default risk is associated with firms that are lifecycle leaders among their industry peers but is lower for laggards.

Water thieves
Authors: Bertenthal Alyse
Published: October 2023

The use of tropes is a defining feature of resource regulation and is fundamental to both the way legal theories have evolved and to the practical, localized interpretations and implementations of law. This article offers a discursive study of the "water thief" trope in order to clarify the ways in which language users are able to perform and construe broader notions about individual and communal rights to water. I underline the palpable shift from a conventional law-based account of theft to a logic incorporating key characteristics of criminality and immorality. The study builds on critical discourse analysis to show how the water thief trope creates a new water world in which "water thieves," although technically not criminals under formal law, are created and made to matter.
Analysis of the Influence of the Numerical Mesh in the Hydrodynamic Modelling of Lake Paranoá Using Mike 3
Authors: Vieira Gabriel Bancillon do Nascimento , Pereira Alice Rocha , Koide Sergio
Published: October 2023

Purpose: This work aims to evaluate the effects of the different meshes constructed in MIKE 3 software on the simulation and calibration results of the model.
 
Theoretical framework: 3D hydrodynamic models, such as MIKE 3, provide the closest representation of reality by simulating the gradients in the three spatial dimensions and solutioning the Navier-Stokes equations. In these models, meshes are used to represent complex geometries. An efficient computational mesh is required to allow convergence and stability of the solution of the equations and, furthermore, of the modelling result.
 
Method/design/approach: Simulation of four meshes with distinct discretization, calibration, comparison, and assessment of the model performance for these four conceptual models considering: mesh’s number of elements, simulation time, mean absolute error (MAE), coefficient of determination (R2), and relative difference.
 
Results and conclusions: For the meshes adopted for comparison, refinement only in the “throat” (region near the dam) did not show significant influences on the results that would justify its use, considering the high computational cost. Therefore, in this case, a sparse mesh and without refinement can be used in detriment of a mesh with refinement only in the “throat”.
 
Research implication: Understand how different meshes discretization can significantly alter simulation time and highlight that optimized simulation requires an equilibrium between simulation time and mesh discretization to maintain model’s performance.
 
Originality/value: Understanding and quantifying the influence of the discretization of the model's mesh on the simulation time and the performance of the model allows the optimization of the modeling, considering the cost-effectiveness of different discretizations leading to smaller simulation time with similar performance.

Published: October 2023

Background: Satisfaction, which reflects the evaluation of outcomes by beneficiaries, is an important aspect of healthcare. In the context of antenatal care (ANC), satisfaction represents the pregnant patient's experience with the provided healthcare services. To improve ANC, it is crucial to continuously evaluate the quality of care by assessing patient satisfaction. This study aims to assess the level of satisfaction among pregnant females towards ANC in AlAhsa, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a validated questionnaire derived from a previously validated version. Cluster sampling was employed, with three clusters assigned: Primary Healthcare Centers, Ministry of Health Hospitals, and National Guard Hospital (NGH). By utilizing the Cochrane Formula with a 95% confidence interval and 5% margin of error, a sample size of 500 was estimated.
Results: Overall, participants in AlAhsa expressed satisfaction with ANC services, with a Likert scale score of 4 out of 5. The NGH exhibited the highest percentage of total satisfaction (satisfied and strongly satisfied) at 82%. Waiting time received the lowest satisfaction percentage of 45.5%, with a mean score of 3.3 ± 1.4.
Conclusion: The study found that 73.5% of participants were satisfied with ANC services. Notably, the NGH achieved the highest level of satisfaction. To enhance satisfaction levels, facilitating appointments booking could potentially reduce waiting times.

Parametric Architectural Design for a New City Identity: Materials, Environments and New Applications
Authors: Gaha Inès Sahtout
Published: October 2023

In contemporary architectural Design, we speak of a parametric structural design. A design that integrates new functionalities crossed with the spatial geometry of objects. It has been considered structured because it optimizes combinations that integrate a minimum of materials and data to respond to functions, uses, and needs more adapted to a society in perpetual evolution. Parametric modelling allows the usability of new materials and the integration of new structures in a variety of design environments. This transdisciplinary research explores aspects of parametric modelling, a design method that creates digital models using algorithms and parameters. By focusing on the material and immaterial plurality of the designed space, this method enables the generation of complex and innovative forms that would be difficult to realize with traditional methods. Then, from a position that redefines the city as both a "medium" city and an "object" city, we explore the fields of application and novelties that are investing in the fields of architectural construction. We examine how parametric modelling can be used to create more sustainable and environmentally efficient buildings, using parametric processes, and optimizing the use of space. In this sense, our research will lead us to identify two aspects of parametric modelling: the conceptual parametric design aspect and the constructive parametric design aspect. Finally, the results of our research enable us to identify a design process that demonstrates the feasibility of using parametric modelling to generate viable, sustainable, and versatile spaces.

Purpose: The present study has adopted a case study approach to gain insight into the phenomenon of persistent success in business organisations from the perspective of leaders who have achieved it and proposes a new model of resilient leadership.
 
Design/Methodology/Approach:  Three case studies were conducted, providing an in-depth analysis of the factors contributing to SME owners’ leadership orientation across diverse industries. The data analysis was conducted using a two-stage approach. First, by using thematic analysis, eight themes were identified. Second, expert reviews were consulted to obtain feedback on these eight themes, and subsequent modifications were made.
 
Findings:  The importance of leadership effectiveness extends beyond the operational functioning of a business, encompassing the crucial task of maintaining employee morale amidst grievances and volatile economic and social conditions. These leaders promptly demonstrated responsiveness and adaptability to the prevailing economic situation. A model of resilient leadership has been proposed, comprising six dimensions that include adaptability, emotional intelligence, vision, spiritual intelligence, a growth mindset, and an internal ecosystem.
 
Research implication:  The novelty of this newly proposed leadership model primarily lies in its application within the Malaysian context, as many of the previous leadership theories have been developed in a western context, and some of the elements might not be relevant to an eastern culture.
 
Practical implication: The newly proposed model could be embedded into the entreperenerial development in Malaysia and also be extended to other neighbouring countries that share similar cultures.
 
Originality/Value: Research on leadership is vast, with the majority of it conducted quantitatively. Thus, conducting a leadership study through qualitative analysis poses different insights and implications than the existing literature.
