Gender Differences in Facebook Addiction as a Coping Response to Social Stressors and Poor Self-Confidence
Authors: Black Pamela , Hendy Helen M.
Published: March 2024

The Threat Appraisal and Coping Theory suggests that when individuals perceive social stressors from important interpersonal relationships (family, friends, romance), and when they have poor self-confidence, they may display the coping behavior of seeking social support, including that provided by social media platforms such as Facebook. However, individuals who perceive intense social stressors and have poor self-confidence may use Facebook to the extent that it interferes with other areas of their lives. The present study examined this cognitive sequence that could lead to such Facebook addiction: SOCIAL STRESSORS à POOR SELF-CONFIDENCE à EXCESSIVE FACEBOOK. Because of past research showing gender differences in each of these variables, we hypothesized that women would be more likely to show the proposed cognitive sequence leading to Facebook addiction. Participants were 243 women and 209 men from a paid online Survey Monkey sample who reported demographics, three social stressors (family, friends, romance), self-confidence with Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale, and excessive Facebook use with the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale. Unlike our hypothesized results, moderated mediational analyses with 5000 bootstrapped samples found significantly higher indirect effect sizes for the three-variable sequence in men than in women, specifically when the social stressor was from family or romantic partners. One interpretation would be that when conflicts occur in intimate personal relationships (family, romance), women may have a wider network of real-life relationships in which they share their emotional concerns, whereas men are more likely to rely on online social media to vent concerns about intimate relationships.
The Political Economy of Contemporary Insecurity in Nigeria: Theoretical Issues and Explanations
Authors: Sarafa Ogundiya Ilufoye , Monday Titus Utibe
Published: March 2024

This paper examined the nature of contemporary insecurity in Nigeria. The paper adopts a qualitative methodology, and the data were gathered using documentary sources. It anchors on political economy approach using game theoretic modeling as theoretical framework. The paper argued that Nigerian state is currently facing internal security threats from separatist demands and ethnic militias to terrorism, cattle rustling, kidnapping for ransom, armed banditry, and armed robbery among others. It further stressed that Nigeria's frighteningly high level of insecurity makes its citizens live in constant fear. That Nigeria's socio-economic development has been badly impacted by this insecurity, which also has an influence on the credibility of Nigeria's international image. In order to address Nigeria's worries about insecurity, this paper concluded with policy recommendations, primarily for the National Assembly that corrupt practices must be addressed in order to restore peace in Nigeria. Also, to facilitate effective governance, which is necessary for upholding peace and stability in the country, the National Assembly must use the power of the legislative power derived from the constitution to improve responsiveness, transparency and accountability.
Propeller Flap: A Feasible Flap for Distal Third of Leg Defects – Two Cases Done at the Plastic Surgery Unit of the Greater Accra Regional Hospital
Authors: Asiedu Charles Kwame , Ngissah Reuben , Awere-Kyere Lawrence , Asamani Daniel Afriyie
Published: March 2024

Introduction: The traditional way of reconstructing soft tissue defects of the lower limb utilized muscle flaps as the ‘gold standard’ for Gustillo Anderson Grade III B fractures of the upper and middle thirds of the leg. Defects of the lower third of the leg are usually reconstructed with free flaps because of paucity and decreased reach of muscles. In resource constrained environments where free flaps are not routine with high failure rates, fasciocuataneous flaps are the only option left. We present our experience with the novel pedicled propeller perforator flaps for reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the lower limb.
Case Presentation: Between June and October 2020, 2 consecutive patients - a 34-year-old male and a 51-year-old female, were referred for cover for their distal leg defects from the Orthopedics and trauma Unit. All patients were operated on under spinal anaesthesia. Perforators from posterior tibial and peroneal arteries respectively, were identified pre-operatively with hand-held doppler and the propeller-pattern skin paddle was designed around the perforator closest to defect. After elevation of flaps and skeletonization of perforators, they were then rotated (180 degrees) and inset into defects. Case 1 had whole flap (104 cm2) surviving with only minor marginal epidemiolysis at tip whilst the second flap (58.5cm2) had necrosis of only the business end of the flap but subsequently healed by secondary intention after serial dressings. Both had secondary defects proximally after the rotation, which were skin grafted with 100% take.
Conclusion: Propeller flap in our experience, is a feasible versatile option for reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the distal third of the leg.

Published: March 2024

Introduction: Dermoid cyst is the commonest germ cell tumour, constituting about 20% of adult ovarian tumours. They are mostly asymptomatic, but complications such as torsion, rupture, and malignant transformation have been reported. Only a few cases of ruptured mature cystic teratoma in early pregnancy have been described and even fewer are those in early pregnancy with the pregnancy successfully carried to term with successful delivery.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a grand multiparous woman who presented to Peki Government Hospital at 11 weeks gestation with an acute abdomen following a fall. She had been diagnosed with a dermoid cyst a week with dimensions of 20cm x15 cm before the presentation. Ultrasound diagnosis of a possible rupture of the cyst was made on admission. Right oophorectomy was done at laparotomy. She had progesterone support for the succeeding 4 weeks and the pregnancy was successfully carried to term with good outcomes at delivery for both mother and baby. The APGAR score for the baby at 1minute and 5minute after birth were 7/10 and 8/10 respectively.
Conclusion: Traumatic rupture of dermoid cyst should be considered as a differential diagnosis in women presenting with acute abdomen in early pregnancy. Laparotomy with abdominal lavage is a viable management option in a low-resource setting.

Authors: Kukec Ljiljana , Khawaja Sarwar
Published: March 2024

This study delves into franchising education at HEIs and its advantages for students. It investigates its impact on knowledge and perceptions, preparing students for entrepreneurial careers and enhancing their job market competitiveness. Franchising is pivotal in contemporary entrepreneurship, offering aspiring entrepreneurs mentorship and risk reduction while enabling established entrepreneurs to expand efficiently. Hence, students must acquire franchising knowledge integral to their entrepreneurial learning. Existing literature extensively covers franchising. However, a noticeable gap exists concerning franchising education and its effects on entrepreneurship students. The research underscores the scarcity of franchising entrepreneurial learning in higher. Additionally, the literature reveals the necessity of collaboration between academia and the business sector in designing and delivering this course, considering the essential knowledge and skills required by lecturers of franchising courses. The longitudinal study spanned seven years based on two rounds of research at the University of Luxembourg (Public) and Vern University (Private) involving 203 students who attended the franchising course and assessed changes in knowledge and attitudes toward franchising through pre- and post-course surveys. The first study round occurred at Vern University, and the second at the University of Luxembourg. This study's results underscore the Franchising course's significance in shaping students' understanding and views regarding franchising. Overall, the course effectively promotes entrepreneurial learning outcomes, evident from the positive shifts in students' knowledge and attitudes toward franchising upon its completion. The study underscores the importance of franchising education in HEIs, aiding students in making informed entrepreneurial decisions and gaining a competitive advantage in the job market. Further Research can explore different groups of students and reasons for varying attitudes towards franchising in private and public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).

Authors: Khawaja Sarwar , Sokić Katarina , Javed Ruqaiya , Qureshi Fayyaz
Published: March 2024

The study's primary purpose was to explore the differences between mature male and female students based on extroversion and introversion personality types studying an undergraduate business programme in a private higher education institution in the UK. The Big Five Inventory-BFI (a short form with 10 items), BFI-10, was used to collect data from adult participants (N=131). The sample data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26. The researchers used descriptive statistics and graphical representation to describe the data and gain meaningful insights. The results revealed no significant differences between males and females based on the mean extroversion score. The detailed results for all five-personality dimensions for both genders showed that female participants were higher on neuroticism/emotional stability and agreeableness than males. Also, male participants' mean scores of Extraversion, Conscientiousness and Openness to Experience were almost similar. Previous research has shown females to be high on some facets of conscientiousness. However, these results are inconsistent across cultures, and no significant gender differences in conscientiousness have been found.

Assessing Emotional Intelligence Influence on Students in Private Higher Education, London, UK
Authors: Masud Mohammad , Khawaja Sarwar
Published: March 2024

This study aims to assess how emotional Intelligence (EI) Influences students' engagement, motivation, and team working to improve academic performance in Private Higher Education (HE) in London, UK. EI refers to the ability to recognise, understand, and manage one's own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. In private Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), EI plays a significant role in several aspects, especially related to student's academic progress & achievement and success, by promoting EI skills such as self-awareness, self-regulation, self-motivation, empathy, and social skills. By prioritising EI, private HEIs aim to foster the overall well-being and success of their students and the broader campus community. Quantitative research has been employed. The questionnaire was designed based on Goleman's five essential elements: 1. Self-awareness, 2. self-regulation, 3. motivation, 4. empathy, and 5. social skills. Five questions were included in each essential element of Goleman's framework. Academic staff of private higher education participated in the questionnaire survey. Google Forms was used to collect the data. The results indicated that only the components of self-awareness, social skills, and in- class team working are significantly related to academic accomplishment. However, self- regulation, motivation and social skills were insufficient to impact students' academic performance positively. The descriptive statistical data has positively impacted students' academic performance. This study found that a strong correlation between EI and cooperation does not always mean that those who perform well on tests of empathy or EI will be highly collaborative. This is primarily because collaborative abilities require knowledge integration, values, skills, and attitude, whereas EI alone is insufficient. This study found that lecturers must consistently inspire their students. Emotional intelligence is not only a theory; it plays a significant role in private HE. Emotionally intelligent lecturers are better able to inspire students and influence their behaviour. The findings of this study suggested that lecturers should always have a great deal of empathy for the students. Lecturers can inspire their students to be emotionally healthy when they can recognise and correctly regulate their emotions and sense and comprehend the emotions of others. Future studies might investigate how EI influences instructional practices, classroom management techniques, and the overall learning environment. This could include examining the effects of EI on student engagement, motivation, and satisfaction.

Online Education And Students’ Wellbeing During Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Qureshi Fayyaz , Khawaja Sarwar , Zia Tayyaba , Javed Ruqaiya
Published: March 2024

The primary purpose of this study is to analyse students' opinions on the effects of online education during the pandemic on students' well-being. The unprecedented world scenario that the students have been dealing with may delineate their academic performances and state of well-being to a great extent and subsequently make it a substantial challenge for researchers and practitioners. In addition to the prevailing adverse circumstances due to the pandemic in the educational sector, the stern measures taken by the UK government to avoid spreading the coronavirus also added to the adverse effect on HE students' well- being in England during the autumn back in 2020. It is evident that the pandemic enforced the drastic digital adjustment among Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) across the globe and pushed educational institutions to prioritise remote learning. For example, Oxford Business College (OBC), one of the leading independent (private) HEI in the UK was enforced all campus closures and made digital transformation a substantially more fundamental tactical precedence specifically for core learning among students. The foremost aim of the present research was to examine how online learning mode affected students' well-being at OBC and the variables contributing to students' opinions. A quantitative research design was adopted, and RStudio was used to analyse the data (N=944). The multi-nominal regression yielded significant results. It was found that online education at OBC did not impact students' well-being negatively, and variables such as gender, awareness of 'no detriment policy' and 'student hardship funds', general health, type of work, and positive measures of UK government significantly contributed to participants' opinions. In conclusion, OBC created a constructive online learning environment during the pandemic, leading students to appreciate digital education and maintain a positive sense of well-being. Furthermore, it is suggested that academic institutions should identify more relevant and interpretable underlying factors that could explain the enduring effects of the pandemic on student well-being.

Humanitarian Logistics and Emergency Response in Humanitarian Organizations in Kenya.
Authors: Osumo Chrisantos Kimori , Omwenga Jane Queen
Published: March 2024

Disasters were unpredictable and unavoidable, necessitating adequate disaster response plans. Humanitarian logistics, which gained prominence after the 2004 Asian tsunami, played an important part in crisis prevention. Despite weak links in relief chain management, issues remained. Humanitarian logistics had a huge impact on disaster relief efforts, as studies revealed a variety of challenges, including a lack of sufficient SCM software and poor facilities. Despite its importance, few studies have explored the impact of disaster assistance on humanitarian organizations, particularly in Kenya. The study sought to address this gap by evaluating the impact of humanitarian logistics on emergency response in Nairobi, Kenya. Humanitarian groups, policymakers, and NGOs profited from the research, which informed strategic planning and policy creation to strengthen disaster response operations. The Resource Dependency Theory (RDT) proposed that organizations rely on external resources for survival and growth. It underlined the importance of forming strategic alliances to secure resources. In humanitarian settings, logistics were critical in procuring and allocating resources for successful emergency response. The research methodology used a cross-sectional descriptive design to investigate the association between humanitarian logistics management techniques and emergency response in Kenyan humanitarian organizations. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to obtain data from 64 Nairobi-based firms. Data analysis required the use of both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques, such as regression and correlation analysis. The study found a significant positive association (β = 0.732, p < 0.001) between logistics management practices and emergency response, indicating that improving logistics leads to better response outcomes. The study recommended prioritizing logistical development and resource allocation to improve emergency response capabilities.

Published: March 2024

El uso de la tecnología de la información en el mundo actual hace que las empresas se estén innovando, es por ello que en el año 2012 el Servicio de Rentas Internas (SRI) de Ecuador lanza oficialmente la facturación electrónica como una estrategia institucional para modernizar la administración tributaria a favor de reducir la evasión y simplificar el cumplimiento a los contribuyentes. En el año 2015 se da el primer ingreso masivo de contribuyentes a este nuevo sistema y finalizó en noviembre del año 2022. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo, determinar el impacto económico que produjo la facturación electrónica en las imprentas autorizadas de la ciudad de Manta, el método utilizado en esta investigación fue de enfoque cuantitativo, de nivel descriptivo, se utilizó el método bibliográfico, transversal y analítico, como herramienta utilizada fue una encuesta realizada a 19 imprentas autorizadas por el Servicio de Rentas Internas. Los resultados encontrados en esta investigación muestran una afectación económica en sus ventas, causando despido a empleados, baja rentabilidad en el negocio, afectando la liquidez en los contribuyentes bajo examen. Se logra concluir que la aplicación de la facturación electrónica en el Ecuador y en Manta, tiene un impacto económico principalmente en las imprentas autorizadas ya que a medida que se dio el cumplimiento del cronograma establecido por el SRI, las ventas bajaron por la falta de demanda de libretines físicos (facturas) como documentos tributarios.
Solar adsorption cooling system operating by activated–carbon–ethanol bed
Authors: Mohammed Mena Safaa , Farman Nibal Fadel
Published: March 2024

One efficient way to convert small thermally energized into effective cooling is through adsorption cooling technology, which increases energy efficiency and reduces environmental pollution.  This study's primary goal is to hypothetically examine the thermal coefficient of performing the solar adsorptive refrigerator machine operated with an activating carbon/Ethanol operating dual. The impact of different operating situations and design factors on the machine's performance is inspected and evaluated. The present double-bed solar energy adsorptive-cooler unit is modeled by thermodynamic methodology.  Then, it was analyzed to evaluate its effectiveness work under Baghdad climate conditions. For the current study, the two-bed solar adsorption cooling unit with 0.5 kW capacity input heat 11893 that operates at 5 °C for the evaporator and 45 °C for the condenser is presented. The Engineering-Equation-Solver (EES) simulation program was created and used to solve the modeling equations that predict the optimal cycle performance and evaluate the optimum reasonable values of the operation parameters of the proposed system. The pressure range for the refrigeration cycle is 2.408 kPa for the evaporation state and 23.14 kPa for the condensation state. The findings demonstrate that an optimum coefficient of performance (COP) is 0.702 at 95 °C, a 20% performance increase, which generates 39.4 of cooling water. It produced 1 kg of chilled water for 2.463 kg of activated carbon at a temperature of 5°C. The improved solar-powered adsorption systems and refrigeration technologies are appealing substitutes that can satisfy energy demands in addition to meeting needs for cooling, ice production, air conditioning, and refrigeration preservation and safeguarding of the environment with Iraq's climate conditions.
Mindfulness and Yoga

Published: March 2024

More recently, counselors have been interested in mindfulness meditation and yoga practices. Although these practices may seem unconventional or alternative in some cultures, they actually fall under the umbrella of behavior therapy. Given the emphasis on skill building in behavior therapy, minfulness and yoga fit the the goal of reducingin distressing symptoms. To better understand these practices within the behavior therapy lens, this article reviews research concerning these interventions. Before synthesizing current trends in mindfulness meditation and yoga practices across contexts, we summarize the foundations and history of behavior therapy. Yoga, or physical activity, seems to be a great complement to Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) therapy, as well as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). Mindfulness-based approaches are effective in reducing depressive symptoms, anxiety, dysphoria, burnout, and rumination. Furthermore, these interventions support the social and emotional skills associated with self-regulation. Of course, the therapy chosen depends on the client’s goals and the therapist’s training experience. If the client wants these outcomes and is open to mediation and yoga, a counselor trained in these modalities should not hesitate to implement this facet of behavior therapy. Implications for helping clients increase wellbeing through skill building are offerred.

ÉDUQUER SA CONSCIENCE DANS LETTRES À MON FILS DE LOUISE D’ÉPINAY
Authors:   Université de Bucarest, Faculté des Langues and Littératures Étrangères, Département de Français, MARINESCU LUCIA
Published: March 2024

In 1759, Louise d’Épinay published Lettres à mon fils, an epistolary work addressed to Louis Joseph de Lalive d’Épinay. The twelve letters summarize the educational principles she advocates for, as well as the concept of self-identity construction. I address the idea of educating one’s conscience and analyse the way in which the springs of one’s personality are driven not by a society dominated by superficiality and artifice, but by the just principles of good and truth, as revealed by a conscience endowed with discernment and dedicated to achieving happiness, rather than aiming at one’s own satisfaction. I also discuss the idea of self-knowledge: the innate and acquired qualities that are to be continuously perfected by means of the will and effort and put in the service of the other, which also acts as a defence against any form of negative influence. An exercise in discernment, carefully directed towards oneself and the world, contributes to the refinement of conscience: in this sense, education must emphasize the role of language as the vehicle of truth and virtue as the essence of an honest man. The stage of childhood, for an aristocrat, is oriented towards discovering one’s vocation, which allows one to contribute to the improvement of society.

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system, characterized by a steadily progressive course with selective damage to the upper and lower motor neurons. AIM. Conduct an analysis of literary sources of domestic and foreign authors describing the modern understanding of methods of diagnosis and treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Present a clinical case of a patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS. An analysis of the literature was carried out for the period from 2013–2023. Sources from the Russian scientific electronic library eLIBRARY, RSCI databases, and PubMed were used. A clinical case is presented. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. The article presents clinical and epidemiological features, diagnostic methods, modern achievements and promising directions in the treatment of the disease. CASE PRESENTATION. Patient N., 60 years old, was admitted to the neurological department of a multidisciplinary hospital with complaints of weakness in the upper extremities, more in the distal parts, impaired fine motor skills, impaired articulation, general weakness, and fatigue. Considers himself sick for a year, when complaints of blurred speech and weakness in the hands first appeared. Needle electromyography — signs of morphofunctional reorganization of motor units associated with damage to motor neurons. Based on clinical data and the results of additional examination methods, a clinical diagnosis was established — motor neuron disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, bulbospinal form, bulbar disorder syndrome, upper paraparesis with impaired selfcare. The features of the presented clinical example are the rapid rate of progression of the disease, as well as the importance of risk factors in the development of the disease. As is known from the family history, the patient served in the missile forces for a long time. The problem of environmental safety still remains relevant. Falling separated parts of launch vehicles have a detrimental effect not only on the environment, but also on the human body. CONCLUSION. Identification of risk factors is an important task necessary for the early detection of electromyography, as well as the possibility of taking preventive measures that can lead to a significant reduction in morbidity and mortality.

Author presents a mathematical connection between functional mathematical models describing the ag-gregation mechanisms of the self-propelled mower KС-200 in this article. A design feature of the KC-200 is the use of linkage mechanisms and adapter hanging mechanisms of the same links. Therefore, to design them, it is necessary to determine how changes in internal parameters, for example, the hanging mechanism, affect changes in the output parameters of the adapter hanging mechanism
Experiential Learning Practices in ECE: Perceptions and Practices
Authors: Naeem Tuba
Published: March 2024

Background: Experiential learning is useful for helping people discover and make changes to their abilities, attitudes, and behaviours that will improve their productivity. The goal of the study is to determine the efficacy of curriculum implementation through experiential learning, along with the associated evaluation tools, in regard to consistency among playschools and schools, as well as to classify divergence points to develop novel approaches. Methodology: A mixed-method research approach has been adopted, comprising survey and focused group interviews. The reflection journal, curricular document research, and case studies were the key instruments used to investigate the hypotheses. The points of consistency and divergence between the two levels of education were explored using these methodologies. Results: According to the results of questionnaires and interviews, the majority of respondents felt that establishing connections between playschools, primary schools, and parents could make the shift to school smoother. 95% of those surveyed say they can notice the total differences between children who attended playschool and those who did not receive early training till the second grade. According to the majority of survey respondents (87%), irrespective of the method of implementation and school curriculum, ranging across the most outdated to the most progressive, early education is the driving notion of awareness that learning at an earlier age is the cornerstone of personal growth. Conclusion: In conclusion, learning at an earlier age is the cornerstone of personal growth, whereas experiential learning is the basis for constructing a career. This is supported by the curriculum consistency analysis between these two vital levels explored in the current work as well as the educational curricula.
