Access to energy resources in most developing countries, and in Togo in particular, is marked by a low rate of access to electricity from the centralized national grid and high consumption of biomass as the main energy resource for cooking. This masks strong inequalities, particularly those linked to gender, to the disadvantage of female-headed households and female household members. The aim is to analyze gender inequalities in access to energy resources in households in the western Savanes Region of Togo. This work is based on a qualitative and quantitative methodological approach using documentary analysis, field surveys, interview guides and interviews. Descriptive and economic statistical tools were used to process the data collected. The results of the study show that access to modern cooking energy resources is difficult for female-headed households, 45.1% of which still use agricultural residues, compared with 4.2% for male-headed households. Furthermore, the rate of access to electricity from the national grid for female-headed households is only 21.7%, compared with 48.7% for male- headed households. These disparities, which are more pronounced in rural areas, vary from prefecture to prefecture.

Authors:   , Steckling Skarlet De Marco
Published: November 2023

O feijão tem grande importância nacional e o desenvolvimento de novas cultivares com melhor qualidade tecnológica e nutricional dos grãos, além das características agronômicas, pode representar uma alternativa para solucionar problemas alimentares, sociais e econômicos. Assim, os objetivos com este trabalho foram avaliar a variabilidade genética de 105 cultivares de feijão, recomendadas no Brasil nos últimos 60 anos, quanto a qualidade tecnológica e nutricional de seus grãos, além de determinar o tamanho de amostras para avaliação acurada destes caracteres. Em sementes destas cultivares, multiplicadas em quatro experimentos conduzidos nas safras das águas de 2018, seca e inverno de 2019 e águas de 2020, foram determinadas a concentração dos minerais ferro, zinco e cobre, teor de proteína bruta e quantificado o grau de achatamento, formato e tempo de cozimento dos grãos. Observou-se que há variabilidade genética para a concentração destes minerais (ferro, zinco, cobre e proteína bruta) e para os caracteres que determinam a qualidade tecnológica dos grãos nestas 105 cultivares de feijão. Com acurácia de 0,90, amostras constituídas de 10 grãos são suficientes para quantificar o tamanho e grau de achatamento, e de 7 grãos para determinar o tempo de cozimento. Houve interação cultivares x safras de natureza complexa para o tempo de cozimento, indicando que a determinação deste caráter deve ser realizado nas diferentes safras. A partir do germoplasma de feijão avaliado, é possível desenvolver novas linhagens, tanto do tipo carioca quanto preto, que associem alta concentração dos minerais ferro, zinco e cobre, alto teor de proteína bruta, além de produtivas e com massa de 100 grãos e aspecto de grãos que atendam ao mercado consumidor. Palavras-chave: Concentração de minerais. Análise de repetibilidade. Tempo de cozimento. Melhoramento do feijoeiro.
The Persistence of Change in Political Systems in Nepal: Causes and Consequence
Authors:   Department of Political Science, Tri Chandra Multiple Campus, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal, Thapa Santa Bahadur
Published: November 2023

This research is based on examining the enduring nature of change within political systems in Nepal, including its numerous manifestations, changing structures, and relevance in contemporary society. The research encompasses a variety of secondary sources, which are further reinforced by primary data sources. This research investigates the process of political system transition and its associated features using qualitative data analysis. The multi-party democracy endeavour in Nepal rapidly deteriorated into conflicts for control among and within the political parties. The prohibition and subsequent ineffectiveness of political parties not achieving global peace and security were seen. Examining countries that have effectively undergone economic change underscores the essential role played by governmental entities in managing such processes. The political growth of Nepal represents a distinct deviation from core political theory, morals, and values. Political parties have been detrimental to the functioning of democracy due to their failure to establish and sustain democratic advancements inside institutional frameworks effectively. Effective governance is needed to confront the dual challenges posed by the Maoist insurgency (often referred to as terrorism) and the deceleration of economic growth.

The school information system, especially the Industrial Work Practices activity attendance system at SMKN 1 Jetis, is still done manually, that is, it still uses books and you have to fill in an activity journal every day in that book. After the internship ends, students are asked to collect the books, which the teacher will use to collect data on whether the student skipped class, permission and so on. Meanwhile, teachers do not have other data that can be used for data collection if the book is damaged or lost. This problem occurs because there is no system or application that is able to provide convenience for the process of collecting data and checking accurately. This information system created uses web or mobile technology which is tailored to the needs of system users and can make it easier for teachers to carry out the process of checking student attendance at internship activities through this attendance application, and we also provide a comparison of this application with other applications in order to determine the quality application quality and to determine the development of application features aimed at making it easier for users to use the application.

Peering Through the Digital Window: Assessing Online Disclosure of the Public Procurement Data in Bima City
Authors: Taufiq Muhammad , Hidayat Rahmad , Sauki Muhammad
Published: November 2023

This article explores the level of "online data disclosure" or "website-based transparency" concerning Open Government and Electronic Public Procurement. It specifically focuses on the availability and accessibility of procurement data on the official public procurement website of the Bima City Government, which can be found at https://lpse.bimakota.go.id/eproc4. The transparency indicator used by researchers to explore this issue is the Municipal Transparency Index (MTI) from Portugal's Transparência e Integridade Associação Cívica (TIAC). The unit of analysis boils down to website-based transparency of public procurement documents and the activities inherent in its management. The researchers used two types of data, namely (i) primary data, obtained directly through in-depth interviews with several informants determined by purposive sampling technique, from the management of the government's electronic procurement system; and (ii) secondary data, obtained through a literature study of official documents, mass media articles, internet news sites, and others. This research is intended to add to the empirical case study on the level of website-based transparency managed by local governments in Indonesia, where this aspect is reflected by data openness in its provision and accessibility, which is an important prerequisite for building transparency and a core part of the Open Government initiative. The official website of the Bima City Government's EPP currently does not show an indication of ideal openness in terms of data availability and accessibility, due to specific constraints in the form of budget limitations, staff competence, and the commitment of political leaders. Corruption allegations against certain elite in the city illustrate the vulnerability of goods and services procurement to the worst maladministration practices or abuse of power.

Published: November 2023

People in the deep south region of Thailand have experienced civil unrest since 2004, and widows from the conflict have been severely stressed and faced various psychological problems. This study aims to investigate psychological problems and examine factors affecting the psychological problems among these widows. The psychological problems are post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complicated grief (CG), and depression. The study’s sample consisted of 350 widows who voluntarily participated in the interviews and completed the questionnaires. PTSD symptom scale-interview version assesses post-traumatic stress disorder, and the complicated grief is measured using the inventory of the complicated grief, and the depression is evaluated with the Hamilton rating scale for depression (Thai version). The results indicate that the respondents had a high post-traumatic stress disorder state (M = 21, SD = 13.8), a high complicated grief state (M = 28.56, SD = 19.69), but a low depression state (M = 5.48, SD = 5.70). Thirty-two percent of the samples fulfilled the criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder, 48% for complicated grief, and 26.6% for depression. The factors significantly affecting post-traumatic stress disorder, complicated grief, and depression are low resilience, high external stressors, and the quality of life. However, the results should be interpreted with caution due to the risk of biases of the sensitive nature of the study. Therefore, to better understand the risks and protective factors of post-traumatic stress disorder, complicated grief, and depression of the bereaved widows, significantly different factors should be considered.

Published: November 2023

Sense of place is a fundamental aspect of cultural heritage conservation and management, as it plays an important role in understanding the connection between individuals and the places they inhabit. This study aims to provide heritage managers and scholars with up-to-date insights into the importance of a sense of place in maintaining cultural heritage. The main objectives of this research are to explore whether a sense of place’s role in cultural heritage research has been adequately investigated and to assess the sense of place potential in cultural heritage conservation. We conducted a systematic literature review of 42 articles to achieve these goals. Through thematic analysis, this study reveals a sense of place’s impact on various aspects of cultural heritage conservation. From the results, six prominent themes emerged, highlighting that a sense of place is a key determinant in the effectiveness of cultural heritage management initiatives. Based on these findings, authors advocate for enhanced collaboration between the government and local communities, acknowledging the importance of heritage tourism and reinforcing policies for cultural heritage conservation to bolster the sense of place. In future research, examining a sense of place can expand to interdisciplinary intersections, quantitative studies, cross-national comparative research, and the exploration of the role of technology in augmenting both the sense of place and cultural heritage conservation.
The Implications of Palm Cooking Oil Price Increases in Malaysia
Authors: Abdullah Chik Norlaila , Farha Alias Emmy , Mohammad Ali Siti Asmahan , Sulaiman Noorasiah
Published: November 2023

Domestic palm oil consumption in Malaysia increased to about 3.37 million metric tons in 2022. This number is expected to increase further due to population growth and consumer preferences for palm oil cooking oil. However, in 2016, the government withdrew its subsidy on palm cooking oil, increasing its price by 48.9%. Recently, the government proposed to use a floating price for palm cooking oil. These changes have left direct and indirect impacts on food producers and consumers. Therefore, this paper examines the impact of an increase in the price of palm cooking oil on food producers (directly) and consumers (indirectly). This study applied the Leontief price modelling technique and simulated a scenario for the price changes in the production cost. The simulation results indicated that costs and prices changed. The results found that the most significant cost change came from restaurants, 52.0%, while other price changes were from oil palm (29.6%) and restaurants (17.4%). This study also used the profit index to calculate the profit food producers and services gained. Based on this scenario, food producers should revise their prices of goods and services since they still gain profit. It was recommended that the government revise the price of palm cooking oil by providing subsidies or incentives to the food producer or consumer. The fluctuation in palm oil prices impacts the price of palm cooking oil in the market. If the government does not revise cooking oil prices, it will affect food consumers and producers.
Intersection of Gender, Globalization, and Religion in Local and Globalized ELT Textbooks in Iran
Authors: Ghajarieh Amir , Mohd Don Zuraidah , Mozaheb Mohammad-Amin , Ghandil Ghazaleh
Published: November 2023

This paper examines gender representation in two textbook series: Solutions, published by an international publisher, and the Iran Language Institute (ILI) series, written by local writers. Evidence of gender representation is drawn from the analysis of their religious content in the narrative texts and the illustrations. The analysis of gender representation is guided by six criteria: visibility in pictures, visibility in text, firstness, character activity, occupations, and topic dominance. The findings indicate that in both textbook series, males exhibit greater visibility and dominance in relation to character and occupation. The gender representation varies significantly. These results substantiate previous investigations conducted elsewhere, highlighting the gender imbalance in textbook representation. The examination of gender representation at the intersection of religion in local textbooks also revealed that intersectionality in social sciences can further perpetuate gender bias in educational materials. These findings serve as a call to action for textbook authors and education policymakers to prioritize gender equality representation within the context of religion and globalization in language education textbooks authored by local writers. This research holds implications for language teaching approaches fostering intercultural competence, specifically in English as a lingua franca.

Authors: Abdul Rahman Mohd Nazri , Eng Tham Kwee , Liu Cong
Published: November 2023

In teaching English reading skills to preschoolers, two primary reading instruction approaches have been established: the Phonics Approach and the Whole Language Approach. However, no evidence was found in the past studies to support these methods in the Malaysian setting. This study examines the effects of early reading games on teaching English among second language learners in preschools using the Integrated Sound Word Method using 60 preschoolers aged six years old in the district of Kuala Lumpur as samples. Two groups were formed to be assigned as the control group and intervention group. Pre-test, post-test, and post-test 2 were administered to the control and intervention groups before and after the quasi-experimental study. The Integrated Sound Word Method incorporated early reading games as an intervention for the intervention group. This study used one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) as well as the learning outcomes of the experimental study to measure its significance. The findings showed that the intervention group performed better in improving early reading proficiency through games as compared to the control group at each level. The participants in the intervention group are able to grasp early reading proficiency after learning through early reading games using the Integrated Sound Word Method. This study has several implications for educators and policymakers in developing effective reading programs for second language learners, emphasizing the significance of a balanced approach to achieving the objectives of the Malaysia Education Blueprint (2013–2025).
Impact of Physical Environmental Factors on Mental Wellbeing of Condominium Dwellers
Authors: Rujibhong Siriwan
Published: November 2023

This paper attempts to reveal the outcomes of the empirical research investigating how the physical environments of the residential high-rises, known as condominiums, including the urban and community contexts, impact mental wellbeing of the dwellers since the emergence of condominiums in Bangkok’s real estate market has continued to proliferate. The principal objectives of the research are to determine the assumption that the high-density urban environment and unique structure of condominiums are the significant determinants affecting occupants’ mental status. Based on the quantitative research approach, the two-stage stratified sampling technique and a cross-sectional survey were performed to engage 1,206 participants from eighteen high-rise condominiums in Bangkok. The interdisciplinary research instruments applied in this study are a Physical-Environmental (PE) Assessment for evaluating the physical environment and surroundings of the condominiums and a Personal and Psychological (PP) Questionnaire for collecting respondents’ attributes and their psychological status quo: safety concerns, privacy satisfaction, and a sense of community at the time of their dwelling in condominiums. At the analytical stage, three inferential statistics, Pearson product-moment correlations, independent sample t-test, and one-way analysis of variance, were applied at the p-value ≤ 0.05. The results endorsed three urban factors: geographical zoning, land use zoning, and density of population as significant dominants of safety concerns, including the sense of community of condominiums’ dwellers, whereas community and architectural factors appeared to have distinctive effects on all three psychological variables.

Need for Data Standardization and Infrastructure of Research Data Management to Promote Using Real-world Data
Authors: Ueno Satoshi , Komiyama Yusuke , Doi Mariko , Hoshi Keika
Published: November 2023

Real-world data (RWD) have been increasingly used for regulatory decision-making and as a control group for new drug approval applications. RWD is also helpful in understanding information such as risk factors (e.g., pre-existing medical conditions, personal protective equipment, travel, contacts, smoking, and exposure to animals) and vaccination status for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The methodology of utilizing RWD is inconsistent across healthcare institutions. However, there are possible solutions to standardize RWD for clinical data use, which include the use of Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) standards, tools, and concepts. This study examines the availability of CDISC and other international standards for the utilization of RWD with concrete examples and presents the potential platform for implementation.
We consider the solution currently available to temporarily convert clinical data-warehouse (DWH) data into the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) format to comply with the CDISC standard. This approach would allow for converting institution-level standards to national standards as an interim solution until FHIR is supported, mapping national standards to international standards. We believe that the ideal research environment is a data platform that complies with national and international regulations related to RWD applications. Within such a platform, users can share data freely, rather than rely on a specific facility or vendor. Data platform developments are progressing in Japan and globally. In Japan, initiatives to use research data on research data platforms are being conducted. We are experimenting with implementing tools and knowledge shared by CDISC.

Old resources are a gift from God Almighty so that they can be used as well as possible for the benefit of many people. It is hoped that natural resources can be used for all levels of society, both those who are healthy and those experiencing health problems/deterioration. Likewise, using raw data sources can increase people's income so the economy rises. It is essential to utilize natural resources with various innovations that are needed for the benefit of the surrounding community, ranging from health, recreation, or culinary. Kebakan Hamlet, Metuk Village, has abundant natural water resources that have yet to be used optimally to improve the residents' economy and health. Residents only use natural resources for bathing, washing, and irrigation. The existing natural resources have made swimming pools for therapy for low back pain sufferers so that visitors who come for treatment can have a more positive impact on the surrounding community by opening food stalls, renting out floats or parking so that the existence of the pool can be beneficial from a health perspective.

La ciudad como jardín. Elementos de una eutopía
Authors: De Marco Paolo
Published: November 2023

Desde los mitos antiguos hasta las metáforas religiosas, la historia de la civilización habla de numerosos jardines admirables por sus características físicas y valores simbólicos subyacentes. Estos jardines no son meros espacios de recreo, sino lugares de la vida humana en toda su complexidad, representando entonces la combinación ideal de ciudad y vegetación, hombre y naturaleza. En el siglo XX algunas investigaciones y proyectos han tratado de materializar alternativas a las ciudades actuales basadas - de diferentes maneras - en el antiguo ideal del jardín.Frente a la nueva emergencia de urbanización de la población mundial, recientes políticas urbanas demuestran posibles estrategias para cambiar el destino de la ciudad mediante la introducción de la naturaleza en el espacio publico. Además, a partir del estudio de algunas experiencias contemporáneas es posible reconocer huellas de un innovador enfoque orgánico al diseño, la posibilidad de una coherencia espacial y la interdependencia arquitectura-naturaleza necesaria para la construcción de un efectivo ecosistema. Un nuevo paradigma arquitectónico-urbano, una visión holística e interescalar que, finalmente, se enfrente a un horizonte realmente sostenible.

La cooperativa d'habitatge en cessió d'ús és un model alternatiu que pretén garantir el dret a una llar digna i assequible, combatre l'especulació immobiliària i promoure la convivència i la gestió participativa dels immobles. Així mateix, defensa la necessitat d'implantar criteris de consum i modes de vida sostenibles, atenent alguns dels objectius i estratègies per al desenvolupament sostenible (ODS), definits per l'Organització de Nacions Unides. Seguint aquestes premisses, es planteja la creació d’una hipotètica cooperativa al municipi de Manuel (la Ribera Alta, València), en el marc dels Projectes Final de Carrera d’un grup d’estudiants del Màster Universitari en Arquitectura de la Universitat Politècnica de València. Els treballs acadèmics incorporen al seu programa les necessitats de la població i tracten de millorar la seua vida diària. Amb aquesta finalitat, s’ha mantingut contacte amb l’Ajuntament de Manuel durant el desenvolupament dels projectes i s’ha organitzat una exposició pública dels resultats en la localitat, assumint una tasca de divulgació dirigida als seus habitants i als de la resta de la comarca.

Climate change poses unprecedented challenges to urban environments, mostly affecting already vulnerable communities and ecosystems. While Climate Action (13th Sustainable Development Goal) still tends to focus on economic shifts and technological fixes, urban design and planning can play a crucial role in climate adaptation processes, enhancing socio-ecological resilience, while improving inclusivity, livability, wellbeing for all, opening to sustainable development scenarios. By focusing on nature-based solutions (NBS) and green infrastructure (GI), the contribution, which is part of an ongoing research, aims at identifying issues, challenges, and best practices to operationalize climate resilient adaptation through urban nature design and planning process and actions for neighborhood scale’s regeneration. Through a qualitative methodology, three neighborhood case studies, recognized as best practices, will be compared in order to understand, issue and procedures related to the implementation of climate NBS and GI inside urban regeneration design and planning process.eworks towards equitable and livable urban futures.

Authors: Albelda-Estellés Ness Maria Coral
Published: November 2023

Bioclimatic architecture enables a symbiotic relationship between people, nature and our built environment. By focusing on the integration of freely available natural forces and materials, it promotes energy and resource efficiency, in addition to comfort. We need to make our buildings more independent from active systems, to become more sustainable. Also, we need to consider their thermal safety in case of extreme climatic events or power outages. At last, we should not only aim for thermal comfort, but thermal delight, allowing for a more varied thermal landscaping in our buildings, to allow us to engage with our environment and awaken our senses.
Cabanyal. Año 0. Estrategias de futuro
Authors: Chust Silla Alejandro
Published: November 2023

El Cabanyal ha iniciado una nueva etapa con la aprobación del tal ansiado Plan Especial Cabanyal-Canyamelar (PEC) el pasado 24 de mayo. Este plan viene a sustituir al anterior Plan Especial de Protección y Reforma Interior del Cabanyal-Canyamelar (PEPRI). Su principal objetivo consiste en la promulgación de un nuevo régimen urbanístico centrado en la regeneración y mejora urbana de todo el ámbito contenido en el mismo. El plan también establece unos indicadores que sirven para una mejor comprensión de la estructura urbana actual del Cabanyal. Al igual que la arquitectura modernista popular se constituyó como un reflejo de las formas de vida o costumbres de los habitantes del Cabanyal, las nuevas construcciones que se están llevando a cabo en el distrito marítimo deben ser capaces de influir, canalizar y transmitir los valores o modos de vivir de una determinada sociedad o de un tiempo concreto para las futuras generaciones. Por ello los valores asumidos han de regirse por patrones de calidad, habitabilidad o sostenibilidad medioambiental.
Brucellosis: Why is it eradicated from domestic livestock in the United States but not in the Nile River Basin countries?
Authors: Hikal Ahmed F. , Wareth Gamal , Khan Ashraf
Published: November 2023

Brucellosis is one of the most highly infectious zoonotic diseases worldwide and has substantial health and economic impact. Strenuous efforts are essential to combat and prevent this disease from the one-health perspective. Brucellosis is successfully eradicated from domestic animals in the United States, but control strategies continue to eradicate it from wildlife in the Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA). Brucellosis in the Nile River Basin countries (Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Tanzania) is highly prevalent and endemic. There are several factors behind the failure of eradication of Brucella in these countries. The lack of cooperation between policymakers, health officials, veterinary sectors, and farmers is the key reason that impedes the control and prevention strategies in brucellosis-endemic countries. This review will focus on the epidemiology, prevention, and control strategies of Brucella abortus and Brucella melitensis in the United States and the Nile Basin countries (Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Tanzania).
