Women in Nigeria: Examining the Motivations for Engaging in Social Entrepreneurship
Authors: Ihejiamaizu Grace Chinonye , Inyang Juliet John
Published: November 2023

This paper explored the motivations for women engaging in social entrepreneurship in Nigeria. Using the theoretical lens of African feminism, the paper specifically set out to explore the extent to which three factors- gender, penchant for solving social problems and economic/financial reasons influence the desire of women to engage in social entrepreneurship in a largely patriarchal society like Africa. Existing studies adopting critical feminist perspectives have shown that across the globe, there are embedded biases and institutional constraints which could separate women from men into what is considered appropriate “entrepreneuring” for their sex category (Muntean & Ozkazanc-Pan, 2016). This implies that while it is applauded that women can get self-employed in ventures that create social good, there is the risk of creating biases that unintentionally limits the potential of women toward less-lucrative/tasking self-employment. This phenomenon raised some key questions for this paper: Do women only perform better when it comes to designing enterprises for social good? Or do the narratives show that they could lead in other forms of entrepreneurship but are not because of existing constraints? Simply put, what is the drive or motivation for engaging in social entrepreneurship? Interestingly, such a study is lacking within the African context.

 For this research, a qualitative approach was adopted. Secondary data were obtained from the Ashoka.com repository, a reputable organization and social entrepreneurship website, profiled with stories of successful women social entrepreneurs. A total of 6 research subjects were randomly selected for the study. The sample was drawn from the list of published profiles based on the year of fellowship, country and sector of operation. Data were analysed using content analysis. The findings drawn from the analysis were discussed within the purview of African feminist theory and empirical works of other social researchers. The result showed that women social entrepreneurs are majorly motivated by the desire to solve a social problem (rather than make profit), which either stems from a personal experience or those around them. This study recommends that understanding the intrinsic motivation behind their actions can help social activist and feminist organizations supporting social entrepreneurs in their work. The paper further informs interventions that foster the design of social policies and programmes for successful women social entrepreneurship practice in Africa.

Published: November 2023

This study is about women SMEs' meaning and use of digital technology. The feminist intersectional approach is used to answer how gender, religion, social class, daily activities, and place of residence shape the characteristics of women SMEs. How do they interpret the business they are running, and what is the urgency of digitization in running their business? Respondents were female SME practitioners from Kangean and Paciran sub-districts selected using snowball sampling. Data analysis was carried out interpretively using a feminist standpoint by including the researcher's knowledge as a reference. The feminist intersectional approach helps identify women SMEs' religiosity and life orientation in the two regions in running their businesses. Furthermore, unlike other studies that find digitalization a necessity in business, this study finds that digitalization is not urgent for their lives. Religiosity and life orientation that are formed from the intersection of many factors around them make SME women do gender. They accept and even believe that developing an SME business is not the main thing in their life. Even digital technology needs to be avoided because it has a negative impact.

This study examined customer satisfaction in 20 lady-managed Indonesian restaurants located in South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, utilizing 1,316 online reviews. The overall average rating was 4.3 out of 5, reflecting high customer satisfaction. By using KH-coder software word frequency and co-occurrence network analysis identified key themes within reviews, encompassing food variety, pricing, restaurant ownership, and overall dining experience. The term "lady" was frequently associated with 5-star ratings, indicating a potential link between female management and high customer satisfaction. Conversely, terms like "expensive" and "small" were associated with lower ratings, highlighting the importance of perceived value for money and portion size. The study contributes to the underexplored area of female management in the restaurant industry. It demonstrates that women-led establishments can excel in competitive markets. It also underlines the importance of various aspects influencing customer satisfaction beyond just food, such as pricing and portion size. Furthermore, the findings validate the role of women as facilitators of cross-cultural culinary exchange and pave the way for future research on female leadership in the hospitality industry.
Affecting Infrastructures: Crafting and Weaving as Alternative Repairs
Authors: Claus Fabiola , Sánchez Aldana Eliana , Papadapoulos Dimitris
Published: November 2023

As two traditional practices performed by rural communities in Colombia, crafting and weaving can be reframed as ontologies that embody alternative material orders and forms of repair. In this context, we explore two specific initiatives: the Crafted Empathy Chair developed by members of campesino social movements in Cauca and Nariño, and Interweaving Material Encounters, a series of collaborative spaces involving women from textile collectives from Chocó, Antioquia, and Bolivar. In the process of exploring these initiatives, we reflect on the role of nonhumans as technologies that allow our interlocutors to share their affect. In addition to discussing strategies for engaging in affective relations when dealing with the aftermath of war violence, we describe how these arrangements affect us as a part of the audience. Thus, we propose the term affecting infrastructure to conceptualize how crafting and weaving can foster everyday spaces and shared grounds for the emergence of emotional engagements as alternative modes of repair.

Nowadays, TikTok is one of the most famous apps among youngsters since its users create different types of videos that attract students' attention. Hence, learners can use this app as a tool for learning English since there are many videos they can watch for learning and improving their pronunciation. For this reason, many researchers have conducted studies focused on knowing the students' opinions regarding the use of TikTok for academic purposes; unfortunately, there are no studies about the students’ perceptions towards the use of the app as a means to enhance students’ pronunciation. Therefore, this study aimed to understand A2 students' perceptions of using TikTok to improve English pronunciation. It was necessary to use interviews to gather the information for this study to analyze students’ opinions about using the app to enhance pronunciation. Moreover, this study is significant since it helps explain how students and teachers can take advantage of the app as an additional tool for learning English.

Strengths and Limitations of SmallTalk2Me App in English Language Proficiency Evaluation
Authors: Manggiasih Laras Ayuningtyas , Loreana Yurike Risa , Azizah Abidatul , Nurjati Nunung
Published: November 2023

This paper explores the strengths and limitations of the SmallTalk2Me App, an AI-driven language assessment tool, in evaluating English language proficiency. The study adopts a mixed-method approach, combining interviews with three experienced English teachers and a comprehensive literature review to provide a comprehensive analysis of the app's performance. The research begins with an exploration of the app's strengths, which include its objective and consistent evaluation metrics. The app's automated nature ensures that all test takers are assessed based on the same predefined criteria, reducing human bias and enhancing the reliability of evaluations. Also, it offers immediate feedback, allowing learners to identify their areas of improvement promptly and adapt their learning strategies accordingly. Conversely, the limitations of the SmallTalk2Me App are also discussed. One notable limitation is the challenge of replicating the complexity of real-life communication contexts. App-based assessments may not fully capture the intricacies of natural conversations. Additionally, the app's pronunciation assessment may struggle with accurately recognizing variations in accents and speech patterns, leading to potential inaccuracies in pronunciation evaluation. The insights from the interviews and literature review contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the app's performance, offering valuable implications for its effective use in language teaching and learning settings.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK FOR APPLICATION OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION ON RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION IN POLICE AGENCIES
Authors: Haryanto Haryanto , Juwono Vishnu
Published: November 2023

Affirmative action is one of the most controversial issues in the management of public human resources, including in police agencies. Recruitment and selection are no longer only about recruiting the best talents but are also oriented towards accommodating diversity. This article discusses the experience of affirmative action in recruitment and selection in police agencies, the conceptual framework for affirmative action in recruitment and selection, and the conceptual framework of factors that influence the application of affirmative action in recruitment and selection so that its implementation runs optimally. Through a literature study, the results show that the implementation of affirmative action in police agencies tries to accommodate minority groups to enter the organization with a focus on gender, race, and ethnicity. In its implementation, problems occur in both developed and developing countries. Therefore, the application of affirmative action in recruitment and selection must be identified in the recruitment and selection stages itself starting from the recruitment process, candidate screening, and selection interviews. In order for the implementation of affirmative action to run optimally at the recruitment and selection stages, the influencing factors need to be considered both before carrying out recruitment and selection—in the form of an internal environment that supports diversity, organizational willingness, and determining target locations—as well as at the time of recruitment and selection, seen from the perspective of the employer and the perspective of the applicant or candidate.

Integrating generative AI in knowledge building
Authors: Chen Bodong , Zhu Xinran , Díaz del Castillo Fernando
Published: November 2023

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is penetrating in various social sectors, motivating a strong need for teaching AI literacy in younger generations. While substantial efforts have been made to teach AI literacy and to use AI to facilitate learning, few studies have provided empirical accounts of students’ nuanced processes of using GenAI for learning. In this study, we engaged a group of high school students in leveraging ChatGPT to support their knowledge building efforts. Following the teacher’s pedagogical design, students used ChatGPT for a range of distinct purposes. Student interviews showed detailed processes of using ChatGPT for knowledge building and students’ emerging AI literacy in multiple dimensions. This study offers practical implications on integrating GenAI in K-12 education and urges educators to create spaces and scaffolds for students to mindfully engage with GenAI in the classroom.

Symposium on Elisabeth Popp Berman’s Thinking Like an Economist. How Efficiency Replace Equality in U.S. Public Policy
Authors: Chassonnery-Zaïgouche Cléo , Goutsmedt Aurélien
Published: November 2023

Elisabeth Popp Berman’s Thinking Like an Economist unfolds a captivating and detailed historical account of the rise of economics and economists’ influence within the US Administration during the 1960s and 1970s. This transformation played a pivotal role in reshaping American policy, Berman argues. At the core of her story is the concept of an “economic style of reasoning”, inspired by Ian Hacking’s (1994) work. Berman’s “economic style of reasoning” describes a distinct approach to policy problems, one anchored in microeconomic concepts (rather than macroeconomic ones) such as incentives, externalities, and efficiency. Crucially, the “economic style of reasoning” does not designate what some economists think, but rather, a set of ideas, related to economics but not completely overlapping with it, that are used in policy—not only by economists. Throughout 230 pages, Berman masterfully traces the progressive ascension of the economic style of reasoning within US administration, from its rise in the 1960s to its relative decline during the Reagan Presidency. “Efficiency” as a policy criterion gradually supplanted other foundational values that had long justified policy actions, values such as “rights, universalism, equity, and limiting corporate power” (4). These concepts were actually loosely used by the actors Berman is interested in. Berman posits that the dissemination of this style of reasoning exerted a profound influence by eroding the legitimacy of policy propositions rooted in alternative values, notably those championed by the left-wing of the Democratic party. One strength of the book is to show how the economic style of reasoning stuck and consolidated, even in the absence of economists, and how unusual suspects—center-left technocrats, favoring government intervention—were responsible for promoting a sense of ineluctability of its use.

Hypertension affects a substantial proportion of the general population in Nepal with prevalence ranging from 20 to 30 percent. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for undiagnosed hypertension and is possible through hypertension screening. The aim of this paper is to provide unified consensus recommendations for the effective screening of hypertension in Nepal. In two National Advisory expert consensus meetings, a total of 42 experts participated, discussed and voted on the key statements for formulating the consensus. Each key statement was scored on a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 9 and a mean score was calculated. The consensus statement was accepted if the mean score was seven or more with the voting of more than two-thirds of the experts. The main consensus recommendations are the following. First, screening for hypertension should start among adults from 18 years of age. Second, effective screening of hypertension can aid in the early diagnosis, control, and improve the cardiovascular disease outcomes. Third, in asymptomatic adults, re-screening is necessary every 3 to 6 months and every 3 to 5 years for initial blood pressure levels of 130-139/80-89 mmHg and <130/85 mmHg, respectively. Fourth, hypertension screening is cost-effective in a resource-limited setting. The use of consensus recommendations will help in a unified community screening of hypertension among the asymptomatic adult population of Nepal. Screening of hypertension should be promoted by all the stakeholders in healthcare services.

Authors: Regmi Gunjan , Khanal Kanak , Arjyal Batsalya , Pyakurel Kumud , Shah Vibek Prabhat , Shahi Rejina
Published: November 2023

Background: There is little data on the incidence, risk factors and outcomes of the AKI among COPD patients who are admitted to critical care units with exacerbation of symptoms. This observational study was conducted to evaluate the incidence and outcome of AKI with AECOPD.

Method: We performed an observational study of patients who were admitted in the intensive care unit from August 2021 to February 2023 for acute exacerbation of COPD.

Results: During the study period, a total of 108 patients were admitted to the ICU with acute respiratory failure attributed to COPD exacerbation. AKI occurred in 49 patients (45.4%). Independent risk factors for AKI in patients with AECOPD were advanced age, coronary artery disease, anemia, acute respiratory failure, and mechanical ventilation. Patients with AKI had worse prognostic implications and were more likely to require mechanical ventilation (42.8% vs 22.03%, P<0.05), had a longer ICU stay (6 ±1.3 days vs 5.41±1.1 days, P<0.05) and longer hospitalization (7.65±1.42 days vs 6.9±1.2 days, P<0.05); and higher in-hospital mortality (28.5 % vs 11.8 %, P<0.05) than those without AKI. Compared to patients without AKI who had in-hospital mortality rate of 11.8%, those with stage 2, or 3 AKI had rates of 41.6% and 85.7% respectively, that is 2.1- fold and 6.0-fold increased risk of in-hospital death, respectively.

Conclusion: Incidence of AKI is relatively high in patient with AECOPD requiring intensive care. Patient with AKI had poor outcomes compared to non-AKI patient with AECOPD. AKI can be a prognostic factor for determining patient survival.
Asymptomatic Pulmonary Cryptococcosis And Tuberculosis Co-infection in an immunocompetent Host: A case report
Authors: Giri Rashmi , Khetaan Khusboo , Aryal Gopi , Karthik Ashish , Shrestha Ashish , Gurung Naresh , Shrestha Sanjeet K.
Published: November 2023

Pulmonary Cryptococcosis is a rare fungal infection that mostly occurs in immunocompromised host. However, with advancement in diagnostic approach like tissue biopsy, cryptococcal infections are now increasingly being recognised.In immunocompetent host, cryptococcal infection is often asymptomatic and rarely becomes disseminated.

Symptom development in immunocompetent host largely depends on burden and virulence of pathogen. Due to similarities in clinical, radiological and pathological findings in Cryptococcosis, Tuberculosis and other fungal infections like Blastomycocosis, it is important to have a tissue biospy to confirm the diagnosis.

The aim of this case report is to highlight the investigation necessary to diagnose both fungal infection and Tuberculosis due to similar clinical, radiological features in both. We report a case of Gene Xpert positive Tuberculosis and histopathology proven Pulmonary Cryptococcos in same patient.

Employing American Smart Power in the Middle East
Authors: Al-Khazraji Prof. Ahmed Abdel Ismail
Published: November 2023

The United States of America is one of the most influential countries in international politics since the end of World War II until today. The reason for this is its clear superiority in using hard power in its foreign policy. American soft power did not play a major role in the policies of hegemony that the Americans followed at the international level for many decades. However, the major changes witnessed in the global arena after the end of the Cold War and the emergence of new major powers on the international scene made the United States reconsider its absolute dependence on its hard power. After the US wars in Afghanistan (2001) and Iraq (2003), American decision-makers reached a firm conviction to diversify the sources of their power. This conviction centered on the necessity of combining hard and soft powers into one force, which was called smart power. Through its use of smart power, the United States seeks to continue its leadership of the global system and impose its will on the international arena despite its many competitors.

Authors: Al-Qaisi Lecture. Dr  Tuka ayad Khalil Ibrahim
Published: November 2023

The strategic balance in the Middle East is one of the most important topics that have captured the attention of researchers and thinkers. That was due to the potential and capabilities that this region possesses and could have a significant impact on international strategic interests and thus on international and regional balances. The Middle East region witnessed many equilibrium formulas, each of which was an expression of the circumstances and variables that prevailed in the region.

Hence the importance of studying the regional and international powers in the Middle East and the most important pressures facing those powers, especially the great powers represented by the United States, the Russian Federation, and China, and their attempts to achieve a strategic balance in the region.

The research sought to deal with the following problem:

  What did the strategic balance look like in the Middle East after 2003, and what regional and international powers were able to impose their will on the region?

The research was divided into three chapters, in addition to an introduction, conclusion, and conclusions reached by the researcher. The first chapter was devoted to the theoretical framework of the concept of the Middle East and the strategic balance, while the second one was devoted to studying regional balances and their reflection on the gains of international balances of power. The focus was on the regional powers that are major players in the region, represented by Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Israel. Finally, the third chapter dealt with the repercussions of regional balances on international competition in the Middle East.

Transovrabia’s Path to Military Reform: Aspects of Defense Transformation
Authors: BUSHYHEAD John
Published: November 2023

The Soviet Union collapsed on December 25, 1991, and fifteen former Soviet Republics gained their independence. The megalithicSoviet military disintegrated from being a unified organization into a series of national militaries belonging to former USSR membercountries. However, many of these countries lacked the proper framework, systems, and processes necessary to effectively operatenewly independent, national armies.Transovrabia is a surrogate name for a former Soviet country with her own culture, history, institutions, and ambitions. With thedissolution of the Soviet Union, she suddenly found herself the master of her own destiny.The West committed to aiding in her transformation. My objective was to identify a better approach to transforming Transovrabia. Inorder to do this, I identified challenges faced by Transovrabia. I also reviewed the transformation methodology used by the U.S. Armyin the 1970s and analyzed what might cross-walk to Transovrabia’s efforts in transformation today. Finally, I identified the weak ormissing North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), framework parametersand the impact of not having these parameters correctly applied to Transovrabia’s transformation.After nearly two decades in Transovrabia, U.S., NATO and Transovrabian leadership correctly ask why military transformation istaking so long. This paper addresses the “why”.By implementing the framework additions identified in this paper, both NATO and DSCA will provide a stronger foundation forTransovrabian countries in transformation. Based on experience, this framework will result in compressing transformation time by atleast one decade.Keywords: Security Cooperation, Military Transformation, NATO Clearing House, Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA),Curriculum Development (ADDIE), Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), National Training Center (NTC), Former SovietUnion, Soviet Army, Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)

In our article, we try to describe the importance of proverbs and sayings as a working material for teaching businessRussian. After all, "A proverb is a short folk saying with edifying content, a folk aphorism" (Ozhegov, Shvedova, 1999, p.568). Being a micro text, proverbs can be used as material for working in a foreign audience: they can be used to developvarious skills and abilities, as well as a means of comprehending the specifics of Russian culture, removing the languagebarrier and improving intercultural communication. We believe that in our textbook "Business Russian", in the chapter onfinance called "Money, money, money", the use of proverbs is very relevant. Working with proverbs and sayings can helpthe teacher of the Russian language to reveal the concept of tolerance, that is, to show the correct behavior outside theframework of their culture.Keywords: Proverbs and sayings, phraseology, money, business Russian
