Correlation between Microstructure and Bending of FSW and TIG Welded Mg-Rich Aluminium Alloy Joints
Authors: Msomi Velaphi , Mabuwa Sipokazi
Published: October 2023

This paper reports on the mechanical properties in relation to the microstructure of the Mg-rich aluminium alloy joints fabricated through friction stir welding (FSW) and tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding techniques. The microstructure, tensile, and bending tests were conducted on friction stir, and TIG welded joints. Most coarse grains (27.81mm) dominated the joint produced using the TIG welding technique, while the refined grains (11.26 mm) mostly dominated the joint made through the FSW technique. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the joint fabricated using the FSW technique was higher (379 MPa) compared to the TIG-welded joint (260 MPa). However, the inverse behaviour was observed when looking at the tensile elongation of the very same joints. The bending results correlated with UTS results, and this phenomenon was attributed to the microstructural grain size.

Published: October 2023

The respiratory system is frequently susceptible to various diseases, with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) serving as a notable illustration. COPD is distinguished by an enduring lung ailment characterized by a gradual reduction in lung function over time. Precise prediction of respiratory diseases is of utmost importance, as a failure to do so can lead to fatal consequences. Timely diagnosis plays a pivotal role in reducing mortality rates. In this research, raw spirometry data undergoes a process of feature selection to identify relevant attributes. These selected characteristics are subsequently input into a classification system to distinguish between normal, obstructive, and restrictive cases. The study illustrates how the accuracy of classification algorithms, particularly in the field of machine learning, can be significantly improved through feature selection methods. The suggested study has significantly enhanced the accuracy of categorization using a variety of algorithms, such as Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression, and K-Nearest Neighbor. Among these algorithms, Logistic Regression emerges as the most accurate classifier in this specific context. This investigation underscores the critical importance of early detection and emphasizes the potential of machine learning techniques in enhancing the accuracy of diagnosing respiratory diseases, particularly COPD, which can have a profound impact on patient outcomes.

Published: October 2023

This research is focused on the relationship between greenhouse gas emissions and digital competitiveness at the macro level because of the importance of climate conditions and the use of new technologies, especially digital technologies. Greenhouse gas emissions were measured using the composite index (CI) conducted by the DEA method. Digital competitiveness is measured using the Digital Competitiveness Index (DCI) calculated by the International Institute for Management Development (IMD). The research covered 11 CEE countries: The latest available data on greenhouse gas emissions were from 2019. Correlation analysis results showed that there was no correlation between these variables. Explanations for these results can be found at the DCI level. These index values show that CEE countries do not have a high value of digital competitiveness, which indicates that digital technology adoption is not at a high level, so it still has effects on gas emissions, the environment, and climate change.

Published: October 2023

Agriculture plays an important role in the Indonesian economy, especially in rural areas which are dominated by farmers whose income is from agricultural products. Increasing farmer welfare is the key to agricultural development. This can be achieved through increasing agricultural productivity, access to efficient markets, and developing human resources and farmer institutions. Farmer groups are a key element in agricultural development, enabling the exchange of information, training and collaboration between farmers. Farmer Group capability class assessment is an important tool in understanding the dynamics and development of this group. In Sawahlunto City, the majority of Farmer Groups are still in the beginner and advanced classes, with only a few reaching the intermediate class. Many factors influence the ability of Farmer Groups, including changes in conditions in the field, structural changes, and the formation of groups just to get government assistance. Therefore, assessing the ability class of Farmer Groups must be the basis for coaching and empowering this group, so that it can play a more effective role in agricultural development.

Factors Affecting University Tuition Fees and Regional Differences
Authors:   The Korean Society For The Economics And Finance Of Education, Hou Shuangshuang , Kim Giseung
Published: October 2023

This study analyzes the factors influencing tuition fee increases using spatial regression models. It employs various spatial correlation analysis methods to investigate the geographical correlation of tuition fees among universities and analyzes regional differences and characteristics in tuition fees. To do this, the study focuses on a total of 193 four-year general and education universities and 174 vocational colleges in South Korea in 2022. It observes the concentration tendencies of university distributions using the QGIS program, identifies spatial correlations of university tuition fees through Moran's Index and LISA Index analyses, and finally, utilizes spatial regression models to analyze the factors affecting tuition fee increases. One of the key findings of this research is the identification of spatial correlations among university tuition fees. Tuition fees at adjacent universities are more likely to rise or fall together, and there is a tendency for high tuition fee universities to be geographically concentrated. Additionally, based on prior domestic and international research, this study uncovers internal and external determinants influencing university tuition fees. It uses spatial regression models to specifically analyze and interpret which factors impact tuition fee increases. Admission capacity, freshman competition rate, number of international students, per capita scholarships, dormitory occupancy rate, per capita library resources, and per capita regional total income were confirmed to have a positive (+) impact on university tuition fees, while per capita educational expenses showed a negative (-) impact. The decision to increase university tuition fees should be made by considering multiple factors and should be transparent and fair. To ensure a more equitable distribution of educational resources and prevent excessive economic burdens on students while maintaining educational quality, a fair tuition fee policy should be developed through organic cooperation between the government, universities, and students.
A Study on Estimating the Adequacy of Higher Education Financing Based on Comparative Models and Its Strategies for Amplification
Authors:   The Korean Society For The Economics And Finance Of Education, Won Serim , Nam Sookyong , Lee Heesook , Kim Hoonho
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this study is to estimate the appropriate size of higher education financing based on the concept of education financing adequacy and to propose a policy realization plan to expand financial support based on special accounting for higher and lifelong education support.
The results of the study show that the scale of domestic higher education financing is very low. Domestic total government expenditure, education budget, OECD public education expenditure per capita, and OECD higher education expenditure per capita as a percentage of GDP were all low. Second, the comparative model was applied to estimate the appropriate size of higher education financing, and the size of the required resources increased as the reference group for international competitiveness comparison was set. Third, the newly established special account for higher education finance is problematic in terms of the stability of revenues, the adequacy of revenue sources, and the feasibility of expenditure projects. In particular, there is no explicit provision for securing financial resources, and the special account is temporary, so it is necessary to revise the law and find a way to provide long-term financial support. Finally, in order to secure the estimated amount of financial resources needed in the future, it is proposed to link the direction of sharing between the state and the private sector with the government's plan and operate the fund in the long term.
Why EBS Again?: The Impact of EBS Lectures on Private Education Expenses and Student Achievement
Authors:   The Korean Society For The Economics And Finance Of Education, Han Sang Eok
Published: October 2023

Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, concerns about learning loss and the soaring expenses of private education have become prominent social issues. In light of these concerns, the government is actively exploring strategies to enhance the integration of EBS lectures into the College Scholastic Ability Test(CSAT). While previous studies have primarily focused on the initial impact of the 2010 college entrance exam policy, there remains a lack of research on the dynamic effects of the policy over time. Firstly, in order to estimate the effect of EBS lectures on the reduction in private education expenses, we employ the Correlated Random Effects approach - Panel Tobit Model along with other panel data models, using data from high school students in the Seoul Education Longitudinal Study (SELS). Additionally, we evaluate the outcome of EBS lectures compared to other educational goods such as school achievement.
The results indicate that, except for the early stages of policy implementation, EBS lectures have significantly reduced private education expenses and positively influenced academic achievement in math and English courses. However, a continuous decline in EBS lecture participation rates and the preference of top-performing students for private education seem to diminish the overall impact of the policy. Accordingly, policy responses addressing these issues should be considered to maximize the effectiveness of the EBS lecture policy.

Purpose: Plant secondary metabolites available in Tetrapleura tetraptera fruit meal (TTFM) could be exploited as natural safe additive to enhance the physiological health status of rams. Thus, this study investigated the haematological and serum biochemical indices of West African Dwarf (WAD) rams fed diets containing varying levels of TTFM.

Methodology: Twenty five (25) WAD rams with an average live weight of 13.20 ± 0.20kg were used in a completely randomized design for 140 days. Five concentrate diets containing varying levels (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0%) of TTFM were formulated while Panicum maximum was fed as a basal diet. Blood samples were collected at the onset and the end of the experiment for haematological and serum biochemical indices. Data collected were subjected to one way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).

Findings: Results showed that haematological parameters were not significantly (p>0.05) different in all dietary treatments except for eosinophil obtained at 20th week of the study with the lowest (p>0.05) value at 1.5% TTFM. Total serum protein and glucose values were positively influenced as addition of TTFM increased. It can be concluded that TTFM could be utilized for ram productivity without any adverse effect on the health status of experimental rams.

Recommendation: It can therefore be recommended that TTFM could be included into the diets of WAD rams up to 2.0% level to improve the positive blood profile responses.
The Internationalization of Local Government’s Actions in Cameroon: Opportunities and Challenges
Authors: Saturnin Kaze Tindo Narcisse , Allen Ndukong
Published: October 2023

This paper examines the international action of local governments since the promulgation of decentralized cooperation law in Cameroon. Following the promulgation of law, No 2004/017 of 22 July 2004 on the orientation of decentralization in Cameroon and the eventual signing into act of decree no. 2011/1116/PM of April 2011 fixing the modalities on decentralized cooperation, it was hoped that local governments in Cameroon were going to excel in international cooperation. In reality, for the past decades, the implication of local governments in international affairs and cooperation has gradually increased in the past decades. The increasing involvement of local governments in foreign policy and foreign relations activities is usually labeled as paradiplomacy. Not only has paradiplomacy spread to subnational or local governments across the world, but the range of issues addressed by local governments is far beyond economic policy, connecting to intermestic issues such as border security, energy, environmental protection, human rights, urbanization, governance, climate change, and migration. The main objective of this paper is to examine the degree of implication of local governments in Cameroon in paradiplomacy authorized by the decentralized cooperation decree of 2011. The main argument sustained in this paper is that despite the shortcomings of the 2011 decentralize cooperation decree in Cameroon, this law represents an opportunity for local governments in Cameroon to internationalize their actions and better position them in the dynamic world where the role of local government through diplomacy is gradually gaining more grounds. In fact, by engaging in international cooperation, Cameroonian local governments could secure more development partners and resources rather than depending solely on the limited subsidies from the central government.
The Perils of Pro-Government Militias in African Transition Democracy: Case of RSF in the Sudan’s Conflict

Published: October 2023

Sudan has never experienced peace since it attained its independence from Britain in 1956. Most of the causes of the conflicts in Sudan are related to political domination, economic deprivation, and Islamization. The regime of former President Omar al Bashir since it took power from 1989-2019, it adopted a counter-insurgency strategy of using militias in the peripheral areas to confront alongside its army on the rebellious activities. The review literature on pro-government militias in the context of the unstable Sudan provides debates pertains violent atrocities committed by militias against innocent civilians in the name of counterinsurgency. The 2003 crisis in Darfur region clearly outlines the state strategy of employing the Janjaweed militia who later metamorphosed into Rapid Support Force, a paramilitary group who committed genocide and crime against humanity in the name of fighting the two rebel groups: the Sudan Liberation Army/Movement (SLA/M) and Justice and Equality Movement (JEM). The RSF has grown a powerful paramilitary force that are now battling the State Army for the takeover of the government militarily. The militia group which was once built up by the state now turning a real danger to the transitional democracy. This paper argues that the RSF are the direct beneficiary of the state and are closely linked to its structures, its people, its wealth, and foreign partners. This paper draws a conclusion that amicable solution ought to be sought for the benefit of the marginalized peripheral areas of Darfur, Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile or Sudan with this unstoppable conflict risks to fragment into different autonomous states.
