Authors: Leinyuy Jaff Lionel
Published: June 2024

Sino-Cameroon Agriculture cooperation has been the engine of Agricultural development especially in the rural communities in Cameroon where china seek for vast tracts of land for agricultural investments. The recent increase in food prices and the high demand for agricultural products in Cameroon and its neighbouring countries have created a scenario for China to invest in agriculture in Cameroon in order to meet the demand in the national and international scene. This opens a lacuna for Chinese companies to sign concessions with the Cameroon government to acquire vast hectares of land for large scale agricultural investments. Chinese companies in Cameroon have been involved in the cultivation of Rice, Maize, Cassava and many other products in order to meet the national and international demands. These companies have acquired vacant and unproductive land in Cameroon for foreign direct investments especially in the locality of Nanga Eboko and santchou.This paper seeks to examine the contributions of the Sino- Cameroon agriculture in the development of Cameroon. A qualitative research protocol was explore to understand the paradigms of the Sino- Cameroon agriculture in Cameroon in strengthening the Sino – Cameroon Cooperation and to meet the high demand of agricultural products. The results portrays that the Sino-Cameroon agriculture cooperation has contributed a great deal to solve the problem of food insecurity in Cameroon. Mechanised agriculture has also been promoted in Cameroon through these ventures which have greatly contributed in the high production of agricultural products to solve the national and international concerns. However large scale land concessions for agricultural investments have affected the rural population that depends of land for their livelihood. This paper therefore makes prospects on revisiting the long term land concessions for agricultural investments and implementing diverse techniques in order to ensure a sustainable and win- win cooperation.

Authors: Savitri Emma , Yunita Stefanie Wiyono , Winoto Claudia , Kartiko Widi Restu
Published: June 2024

Photocatalytic degradation of benzene is a viable and environmentally friendly method with significant economic advantages. In this study, a composite photocatalyst consisting of TiO2 and Fe3O4 supported by bentonite was synthesized for benzene degradation. The objective was to assess the impact of critical parameters in both batch and continuous systems. The results showed that in batch system, the effects of initial benzene concentration and pH were explored, showing optimal degradation at an initial concentration of 400 ppm and pH 5. Under these conditions, an impressive % removal value of 95.334 % was achieved. Meanwhile, continuous system analysis showed a negative correlation between feed flow rate and % removal, with the most effective degradation occurring at a flow rate of 15 mL/min. The study also delivered into the kinetics of benzene degradation in batch system, obtaining a first-order reaction based on Langmuir-Hinshelwood model with a reaction rate constant (kr) of 85.68175 mg/(L.min) and an adsorption rate constant (K) of 0.0003002 L/mg. The adsorption model was observed to follow the Langmuir model. These results contributed to the optimization of photocatalytic benzene degradation processes, offering insights into the critical factors affecting efficiency in both batch and continuous systems.

Published: June 2024

A fundamentação teórica do problema atualiza a necessidade de estudá-lo no contexto da aliança psicológica de manifestação de orientação valorativa e resiliência, que é um poderoso recurso pessoal para a sobrevivência sob a lei marcial. Um programa de pesquisa empírica foi desenvolvido, bem como um conjunto de métodos para processamento matemático de resultados, que permitiram determinar as diferenças nas principais dimensões das orientações de valor. Os alunos com alto nível de resiliência são dominados pelas dimensões valorativas de "abertura à mudança" e "autosuperação", que são enquadradas em retratos psicológicos de "independência controlada" e "atividade altruísta"; Seu perfil psicológico baseado na responsabilidade pró-social, no altruísmo, na orientação humanista explica de forma abrangente a atitude de vida intraorientada do sistema de valores. Para os alunos com baixo nível de resiliência, o domínio da dimensão básica das orientações valorativas "autoafirmação" determina o retrato psicológico da "reputação de poder"; Seu perfil psicológico sobre os sinais de um desejo pronunciado de satisfazer seus próprios interesses e preservar uma imagem reputacional é uma atitude de vida orientada externamente. Os resultados obtidos podem ser utilizados com sucesso por psicólogos do sistema educacional para monitorar a recuperação psicológica e o crescimento pós-traumático dos alunos.

Facility-Level and Racial Disparities in Access to Inpatient Psychiatric Occupational Therapy Services in the Veterans Health Administration
Authors: Kinney Adam R. , Penzenik Molly E. , Forster Jeri E. , O’Donnell Frederica , Brenner Lisa A.
Published: June 2024

Importance: Veterans receiving inpatient psychiatric services with limitations in activities of daily living (ADLs) benefit from occupational therapy, yet disparities in access are unknown.

Objective: To investigate whether ADL limitations, an indicator of occupational therapy need, was associated with inpatient psychiatric occupational therapy utilization in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and whether this relationship differs by facility characteristics.

Design: Secondary analysis of VHA data. Modified Poisson regression modeled occupational therapy utilization as a function of ADL limitations, facility characteristics, and covariates. Interactions estimated whether the relationship between ADL limitations and occupational therapy utilization differed across facility characteristics.

Setting: VHA inpatient psychiatric setting.

Participants: Veterans receiving VHA inpatient psychiatric care from 2015 to 2020 (N = 133,844).

Outcomes and Measures: Occupational therapy utilization.

Results: Veterans with ADL limitations were more likely to receive occupational therapy. Veterans receiving care in facilities with higher complexity and greater inpatient psychiatric care quality were more likely to receive occupational therapy. Additionally, Black veterans were less likely to receive occupational therapy relative to their White, non-Hispanic counterparts. Interactions indicated that the extent to which ADL limitations drove access to occupational therapy utilization was weaker within facilities with higher complexity and care quality.

Conclusions and Relevance: Veterans with ADL limitations were more likely to access inpatient psychiatric occupational therapy, suggesting that such services are generally allocated to veterans in need. However, findings indicate disparities in access across patient-level (e.g., Black race) and facility-level (e.g., facility complexity) factors, informing efforts to eliminate barriers to accessing these valuable services.

Plain-Language Summary: This is the first study, to our knowledge, to examine disparities in access to inpatient psychiatric occupational therapy in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). The study findings show that access to inpatient psychiatric occupational therapy is partly driven by the needs of the patient. However, nonclinical factors, such as a patient’s race and the characteristics of the facility at which they receive care (complexity, number of psychiatric beds available, and the quality of psychiatric care), are also important drivers of access. Identifying factors influencing access to these valuable services is the first step in developing strategies that reduce barriers to access for veterans in need.

Os efeitos da docência assistida na escrita mobilizadora de conceitos da disciplina de Fonética e Fonologia do Português
Authors: Ananias Thayná Cristina , Cunha Carla Maria
Published: June 2024

Este artigo se propõe a demonstrar as mudanças na escrita mobilizadora de conceitos por estudantes da disciplina de Fonética e Fonologia da Língua Portuguesa (LET0420), da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. O acompanhamento da escrita dos estudantes foi realizado no contexto de um projeto de docência assistida. Uma das atividades desenvolvidas durante o projeto foi a de correção e consequente reescrita dos textos. Nos textos, dois problemas nucleares foram percebidos: (i) a dificuldade de explicitação de conceitos e de exemplificação e (ii) a constante recorrência a uma forma cristalizada de escrita ou uma escrita de preenchimento, sem autoria. A mobilização não efetiva de conceitos e a insistência numa escrita de molde específico têm por consequência o distanciamento do alunado de uma escrita acadêmica e de apropriação dos conceitos estudados.  Como forma de solucionar esses problemas, foram aplicadas duas estratégias: (i) o apontamento individualizado, dos trechos carentes de coerência conceitual e (ii) a sugestão de novas organizações textuais que dispensem o molde obrigatoriamente dissertativo-argumentativo. Para demonstrar a aplicação de tais estratégias, houve a seleção de duas produções de dois alunos – totalizando quatro textos-resposta. O segundo texto-resposta, que consiste na produção realizada após o atendimento, é analisado a fim de atestar e de sistematizar as mudanças na escrita do alunado. O resultado atestado na escrita dos alunos foi o abandono do molde textual não acadêmico e a melhoria na mobilização de conceitos da Fonética Articulatória e da Fonologia Estrutural.
Uma proposta de avaliação de escrita mobilizadora de conceitos
Authors: Soares de Lima Mateus Parducci
Published: June 2024

A perspectiva Escrita através do currículo (Writting Across the Curriculum – WAC) é norteada pelo princípio de que é possível avançar no conhecimento escolar/acadêmico por meio da atividade de escrita. Adotando essa perspectiva, Pinheiro e Oliveira (2018) e Barbalho Gonçalves e Pinheiro (2022) desenvolveram projetos de escrita, no ensino de Linguística do curso de Letras da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), cujos resultados revelaram que os(as) aluno(a)s avançaram na elaboração e construção de conceitos da área. Entretanto, foi percebido, na metodologia desses projetos, que o julgamento da melhora da mobilização conceitual no texto dos estudantes é realizado com base no arcabouço de conhecimento do avaliador e que essa prática não aparece acompanhada de um instrumento metodológico avaliativo pensado para esse aspecto da escrita. Em função disso, o objetivo deste trabalho é propor um instrumento de avaliação que demonstre, com certa objetividade, os problemas de natureza conceitual no texto dos estudantes. O subsídio teórico elegido para fundamentar esse instrumento é o quadro teórico de Charolles (2002 [1978]), sobretudo as concepções de metarregras de coerência. Com base nisso, propõe-se que a avaliação da mobilização conceitual seja guiada pelas metarregras (i) da repetição conceitual; (ii) da progressão conceitual; (iii) da não-contradição conceitual e (iv) da relação conceitual.
Skills Mismatch in Entry-level Programmer Positions: Employer Expectations vs. Observations in Lalitpur, Nepal
Authors: Puri Amrit
Published: June 2024

Despite an annual influx of programming graduates from Information Technology (IT)-focused educational institutions, software companies struggle with the persistent challenge of finding qualified candidates for entry-level programming roles. In this context of skill shortage, this study explored the crucial issue of skill mismatch of IT graduates, by assessing the employers’ expectations and observations vital for entry-level programming positions. This study employed a quantitative survey approach to delve into this skills mismatch issue. Professionals within 128 software development companies in Lalitpur were surveyed, all holding managerial positions and possessing programming experience. Utilizing a Likert scale questionnaire distributed through Google Forms, these industry experts rated their expectations and real-world observations concerning the specific skills requisite for entry-level programming positions. The analysis of expectations of skills showed that learning attitude (personal), basic concepts of programming (technical), and organizational culture fit (interpersonal) were considered the most important skills. Personal or college projects and skills in version management and testing were considered equally important. The analysis of skill expectations versus observations uncovers noteworthy disparities, mostly observed in personal skills, with expectations significantly exceeding actual observations. Almost 50% of the skills were found to have high importance and high gaps, most of which were personal skills. The discrepancy was comparatively less in interpersonal and technical compared to personal skills. Perceptions regarding the alignment of knowledge, skills, and attitude (KSA) were mixed in which most of the respondents indicated moderate to strong alignment between expectations and observations for knowledge and skills, while weak alignment for attitudes. Statistical analysis confirmed significant mean differences between expected and observed skills across all skill categories, reaffirming the existence of a skills mismatch. Notably, employers overwhelmingly advocate ii addressing these skill mismatches through training and development initiatives. These findings shed light on the multifaceted nature of the skills mismatch challenge in Lalitpur’s entry-level programming job market, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to bridge this gap and foster alignment between employer expectations and the skills of recent graduates. Aligning curriculum with industry needs and designing skill development approaches is of utmost importance to enhance graduates’ workforce readiness, facilitating a smoother transition for entry-level programmer positions.

З’ясовано, що до 2022 року в Україні була переважно традиційна система, за якої військові психологи знаходилися при вищому командуванні, в рамках дослідницьких центрів і спеціальних відділів. Але після початку повномасштабної війни ситуація змінилася, бо військові психологи стали потрібними у всіх самостійних підрозділах. Розглянуто роль та значення військових психологів на трьох етапах психологічної підготовки військовослужбовців: на етапі підбору та підготовки до виконання бойових завдань, на етапі до, під час та після бойових дій у прифронтовій зоні та на етапі супроводу після повернення з передової чи полону, сприяння абілітації військових та робота з їхніми сім’ями. Звернуто увагу на важливості розвитку та використання лідерського потенціалу саме на другому етапі, коли військовому психологу доводиться довести, що він також є бойовою одиницею, готовий брати відповідальність та служити на благо підрозділу. В цілому, було виділено основні категорії завдань, які виконуються військові психологи. Для демонстрації завдань, які найчастіше виконують військові психологи в реальному житті, було проведено опитування, яке дозволило зробити висновок про зміну профілю діяльності таких фахівців після 2022 року. Так, фахівці стали на половину менше займатися професійним відбором, консультуванням та регулярною психодіагностикою й дослідженнями, але відбулося зростання майже в 2 рази кількість завдань, які пов’язані з клінічною роботою з військовослужбовцями та їхніми сім’ями, їх реабілітацією. Наголошено на важливості проведення підбору, навчання та підготовки військових до виконання бойових завдань за для збереження їхнього ментального здоров’я.

На теперішній час, забезпечення виконання повноважень органів місцевого самоврядування в процесі продовження реформи децентралізації є актуальним та складним напрямом діяльності держави, що супроводжується низкою проблемних питань, які вимагають компетентного вирішення. В статті вказано на основні напрями децентралізації в контексті реформування органів місцевого самоврядування, формування та забезпечення виконання їхніх повноважень. Зазначено, що в період воєнного стану, виходячи з того, що деякі території України знаходяться в окупації, територіальні громади та органи місцевого самоврядування стикаються з важкими умовами існування та не мають можливості для виконання всіх повноважень, передбачених законодавством. Деокуповані території, повертаючись під юрисдикцію держави, потребують відновлення на місцевому рівні. Їх органи місцевого самоврядування повинні вирішувати низку проблем, з якими раніше не стикались. Звертається увага, що органи місцевого самоврядування та їх посадові особи не завжди мають можливість для збереження своєї суб'єктності та виконання повноважень на окупованих територіях, що потребує законодавчого врегулювання їхніх дій в цьому складному становищі. Зазначено, що законодавцем надано органам та посадовим особам місцевого самоврядування новий об'єм повноважень в період воєнного стану, що дозволить більш ефективному функціонуванню місцевого самоврядування та забезпеченню територіальних громад. Підкреслюється не тільки необхідність системного підходу до розгляду проблемних питань діяльності місцевого самоврядування, а й до важливості подальшого розвитку та вдосконалення взаємодії між різними рівнями виконавчої влади та органами місцевого самоврядування, які особливо ускладнено в умовах воєнного стану. Зроблено акцент на необхідності подальшого вдосконалення законодавства та механізмів співпраці з метою забезпечення ефективності державного управління на місцевому рівні та зміцнення ролі громад у прийнятті та виконанні рішень, що стосуються їхнього життя та розвитку. Пропонується приділити більше уваги фінансовому, матеріальному, організаційному забезпеченню органів місцевого самоврядування, що покращить виконання ними як власних, так і делегованих повноважень. Висвітлено напрями діяльності держави для продовження реформи децентралізації та можливості успішного її завершення в майбутньому.
ДІДЖИТАЛІЗАЦІЯ ЛІСОВИХ ВІДНОСИН В УМОВАХ ВОЄННОГО СТАНУ
Authors: Заверюха Марина Михайлівна
Published: June 2024

Статтю присвячено дослідженню ролі цифрової трансформації та аналізу впливу діджиталізації відносно охорони та управління лісами, лісовими ресурсами і землями лісогосподарського призначення в Україні. Метою статті є дослідження сутності поняття діджиталізації, визначення факторів впливу, переваг та викликів, що очікуватимуть від цифрової трансформації лісових відносин. У статті розглянуто декілька визначень понять «діджиталізації» та виведено власне розуміння даного процесу. Встановлено, що «діджиталізацію» можна розуміти як процес аналізу, використання, застосування, перенесення та переведення інформації у цифровий формат з метою поліпшення та вдосконалення регулювання суспільних відносин, в тому числі і лісових. Відзначається, що розвиток цифрових технологій може призвести до позитивних змін у ряді аспектів лісових відносин, зокрема: підвищення прозорості та ефективності управління лісовими ресурсами, внутрішніх та зовнішніх процесів ведення лісового господарства; зменшення корупційних ризиків; забезпечення доступу до даних для всіх зацікавлених сторін; сприяння розвитку економіки та екології. В статті автором обґрунтовано думку щодо віднесення діджиталізації до однієї із функцій управління, саме реалізація такої функції як «діджиталізація» здатна поліпшити забезпечення організації раціонального використання лісових ресурсів, їх відтворення, охорони навколишнього природного середовища, забезпечення екологічної безпеки. Встановлено, що останні роки Україна не стоїть осторонь від світових тенденції діджиталізації суспільних відносин, в тому числі і лісових та наведені приклади цифровізація в лісовій галузі: телеграм-бот, як сучасний засіб зв’язку між Державним агентством лісових ресурсів та громадськістю; вебпортал ЕкоСистема; сайт ДроваЄ; застосунок ЕкоЗагроза та інші. Окрім того, в статті автор визначає переваги та недоліки впровадження цифрових технологій в лісовій галузі.

This study delves into the nature of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) and specifically explores UNMISS's key roles like violence reduction, political instability, the security situation, social cohesion, reduction of violence, protection of civilians and socio-economic development.  The study was guided by two objectives; to assess the objectives and mandates of UNMISS, and to examine the effectiveness of the roles and mandates of UNMISS in addressing the underlying causes of conflict and fostering sustainable peace in South Sudan. The study was underpinned by two theories, conflict transformation and Liberalism institutionalism theory. The study adopted a mixed method design with a target of 3280 and a sample size of 354 which was determined by the Yamane (1967) formula. The study employed purposive, cluster, stratified, and systematic sampling. Primary data was collected through interview schedules and questionnaires which were supplemented by FGDs. While secondary data was collected through a review of various publications. Quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed using SSP version 28 and thematic excerpts respectively. The study concludes that UNMISS has been in the front run to de-escalate hostilities by putting in place several strategies to create a conducive environment that supports dialogue and negotiation. This includes concerted DDR efforts that aim to reduce armed conflicts and prioritize the protection of civilians by fostering trust within the warring communities. Equally, UNMISS has played critical roles in ensuring social cohesion and political stability that are conducive to reconciliation and dialogue at the grassroots level. Peace-building initiatives have been achieved through missions’ commitment to the protection of human rights, social-economic development and availability of resources. The study recommends a substantial increase of resources to UNMISS and strengthening the   SSR and DDR programs.
Two’s Company, Three’s a Crowd: Tripolarity and War
Authors: Motin Dylan
Published: June 2024

International systems of three great powers, tripolar systems, remain an understudied topic. In this article, I make three claims about tripolarity. First, it is more warlike than either bipolarity or multipolarity. Second, the two weaker poles of a tripolar system usually ally against the most powerful one. Third, when a pole abruptly declines, the two others have a strong incentive to race to prey on it. To demonstrate this, I develop three cases of past tripolar systems rarely discussed: the Epigoni period during the third century B.C. (Eastern Mediterranean system), the period of the Three Kingdoms during the third century A.D. and the period of the late Northern and Southern Dynasties during the sixth century (East Asian system). This study is thus of importance not only for international relations theory but also for understanding current great power relations since today’s world also consists of three poles: China, Russia and the United States.
