Study on decorative patterns in The Great Nuo Picture
Authors: Yan Shuangshuang , Wang Le
Published: September 2024

The Great Nuo Picture《大傩图》collected by the Forbidden City in Beijing is a Song Dynasty genre painting, which depicts twelve people wearing strange costumes, wearing various hats, holding musical instruments or daily utensils, dancing and showing a joyful atmosphere. By interpreting the meaning of Nuo in various dynasties, it was determined that this was a Nuo opera activity that took place in the Jiangnan area during the Southern Song Dynasty. Based on the classification and research of the decorative patterns that appeared more frequently on the costumes of the characters in the painting, it was found that this may be a borrowed object from the painter. To express emotions, it expresses the expectation that the imperial court will regain its lost territory in the north as soon as possible. The painting not only has a strong atmosphere of the market, but also depicts exquisite and luxurious costumes. The fusion of two completely different artistic styles in the painting is obviously related to the special environment of the painters of the Southern Song Dynasty Painting Academy.

Authors: Li Yujing , Gan Hui , Li Su
Published: September 2024

This paper examines how Large Language Model (LLM) chatbots are incorporated into Wuhan’s private undergraduate education. It evaluates the dependability of AI-generated information using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and emphasizes the significance of fostering critical thinking in Private Higher Education (PHE). The results point to a deficiency in critical thinking education as underclassmen appear to rely too much on chatbots. Less interaction with AI technologies is seen among arts students, which may indicate a mismatch with their creative requirements. The report criticizes China’s PHE for its profit-driven strategy and poor faculty development, and it makes recommendations for changes that would encourage responsible AI use, protect educational rights, and encourage critical thinking.

Authors: Zhu Zhihui , Wang Junyao
Published: September 2024

Although foreign language enjoyment (FLE) can foster foreign language (FL) learning, FLE resulting from effective pedagogical approaches remains understudied. This study explored whether oral corrective feedback (OCF) can stimulate fluctuations in FLE. The study examined whether foreign language achievement (FLA) improves because of OCF. Sixty-five international postgraduate students were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. A modified version of the Foreign Language Enjoyment Scale was used to measure the FLE levels of learners of Chinese as a foreign language. Results revealed that participants’ FLE and FLA in the experimental group increased compared with that of the control group. Semi-structured interview results suggested that teachers’ explicit correction and recasts with metalinguistic feedback increased FLE in learners and facilitated their FLA. Finally, pedagogical implications for FL education and future research orientations were discussed.

Authors: Shahuri Nur , Kasim Noor , Nawawi Hapizah , Chua Yung-An , Al-Khateeb Alyaa , Abdul Kadir Siti Hamimah
Published: September 2024

Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is a genetic disorder associated with premature cardiovascular diseases; however, the majority of patients remain undertreated. This systematic review aimed to determine the prevalence of FH patients with low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene pathogenic variants (PV) among the Asian population in Southeast Asian countries. Our search yielded 1,120 citations, with 28 deemed possibly suitable based on title and abstract screening. However, only six studies that utilised the Dutch Lipid Clinic Network (DLCN) or Simon Broome (SB) criteria were eligible to be included. These studies provided prevalence figures for clinically diagnosed FH patients, with a total of 17.1% (n=1,005/5,874); this rate was represented by three Malaysian studies, which estimated that 36–76% of clinically diagnosed FH patients had LDLR PV. Most patients reported having pre-existing cardiovascular disease, a family history of premature coronary artery disease and tendon xanthomata. This study found that the prevalence of LDLR PV among genetically confirmed FH patients in Southeast Asia is 20.5% (n=286/5,874). Genetically confirmed FH patients are at a higher risk of developing premature coronary artery disease, requiring more aggressive lipid-lowering treatment. Therefore, identifying LDLR PV among the population is essential for early FH diagnosis and treatment.

Authors: Wilhelmina Coker Davis , Joseph Benjamin Archibald Afful , Ramos Asafo-Adjei
Published: September 2024

Social networking sites (SNSs), such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter (now, X) and Instagram, have now become an important part of communication in our world today. As a socio-technical system, SNSs have given users the opportunity to create, to expand, and to maintain new relations in a wider community; resulting in negotiation of varied identities in that social space. The present study, thus, aims at identifying the nature of Facebook usernames that are adopted by Ghanaian technical university students and to ascertain the kinds of identities enacted by such names. The Uses and Gratification Theory (UGT) was, essentially, adopted for the explanation of the rampant use of social media, and the intentions behind such use. An onomastic corpus of one hundred Facebook usernames was randomly and purposively sampled for the study and analyzed qualitatively. Personal names and nicknames emerged as common Facebook usernames. Concerning the kinds of identities that are projected, the local names were perceived to indicate an identity of patriotism to both ethnic groups and the nation as a whole. Nicknames were also observed to reveal a friendly platform for communication. The present study contributes to literature on naming practices, social networking sites and identity construction.
Public Procurement price variance in Kenya: extent, Drivers, and Proposed Mitigation
Authors: Kamoni Peter , Mbaabu Onesmus , Wamitu Susan , Wachira Kevin , Ombati Robert
Published: September 2024

Developing economies, often dependent on donor funding and debt, such as Kenya could benefit from sealing budget leakages. Public procurement price variance is deemed a key inefficiency in public expenditure contributing to the loss of colossal amounts of Money. Mechanisms to achieve realistic public procurement prices are stipulated in the existing public procurement regulatory regime; However, Price variances, manifesting in inflated tenders, are abound. The extent and drivers are yet to be empirically examined. This study adopted an exploratory approach to examine the extent of public procurement price variance; by conducting variance analysis of market prices and prices of goods contained in procurement contracts of 336 public procuring entities (Ministries, Departments, and Agencies) in Kenya in the 2022/2023 Financial Year. Analysis of data drawn from a random sample of 40 MDAs, indicates that all items acquired by MDAs were overpriced: at between 20% and 220% of the market price. Analysis of drivers of overpricing ranked: “budgeted kickbacks/bribes”; “Response to Late Payments by MDAs”; “Collusive Bidding”; and “Over-use of non-competitive methods”; as key drivers. The study reviewed the price oversight mechanism of the public procurement system in Kenya and recommends the adoption of a live internal public procurement audit model to monitor and oversight pricing. This will require a review of the regulatory regime to entrench the internal procurement audit model into the public procurement process. The study also recommends a public procurement study to examine the extent and magnitude of procurement price variance across Kenya and its fiscal effect on the Economy.

Authors: Rotich Joyce Cheruto , Keitany Pauline , Langat Penina
Published: September 2024

Companies involved in a supply chain must coordinate their operations through adoption of inbound logistics strategies so as to enhance business performance. KTDA factories have adopted inbound logistics strategies with the aim of turning around their performance as well as reduce operational costs leading to sustainable procurement performance. However, despite this KTDA tea factories still experience wide variations in earnings. The drop in earnings and high variation in tea bonuses among factories has been blamed on operational cost at the factory. This points out that although inbound logistics have been adopted, they have not resulted in sustainable procurement performance. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between suppliers sourcing strategy and sustainable procurement performance. The study adopted correlation research design. The target population of the study was 188 staff drawn from the 16 KTDA managed Region 5 factories. A census method was used to collect data from the production managers, ICT managers, procurement Managers, leaf base managers, factory unit managers and directors using a structured questionnaire. The findings revealed that suppliers sourcing strategies had a positive significant correlation with sustainable procurement performance (r = 0.545, p < 0.05). The study recommends that KTDA sourcing strategies need to aligned to organizational sustainability goal, develop procedures and policies on material handling with sustainability goal. The results of this study may advice on policy formulation in relation to sourcing strategies and sustainable procurement performance. Other researchers may benefit from the literature on inbound logistics and sustainable procurement performance since the current study provided a basis for further studies

Authors: Austin-Ward Enrique Daniel , Hurtado Nicolás , Santamaría Nelson , Pinto Alexis , Espino German
Published: September 2024

We report the case of a patient with severe multisystemic failure in which massive chromosomal changes in mosaic state were detected, which are considered to be associated with the possible underlying pathology: a T-cell lymphoproliferative syndrome. The patient also presented a case of Erythroderma of unknown cause several years earlier, with a progressive decline in her physical condition. The spectrum of clinical manifestations is then presented as a nonspecific paraneoplastic cutaneous picture of several years of evolution and findings of chromoanagenesis in the last phase of a lymphoproliferative morbid process.

Pembudidaya ikan memanfaatkan lahan kosong, bekas sawah dan air irigasi dari perbukitan di Desa Sambora. Pengelolaan lahan masih terbatas pengetahuan umum yang dikelola tanpa memperhatikan parameter kesuburan lahan. Air dari irigasi digunakan secara langsung pada kolam pembesaran tanpa memperhatikan parameter kualitas air. Permasalahan yang sering terjadi dalam pemeliharaan pembesaran ikan adalah kualitas air yang buruk. Kualitas air yang buruk dapat mengakibatkan ikan stres, mudah terserang penyakit, pertumbuhan lambat dan tidak merata, dan kematian ikan. Solusi yang akan dilaksanakan adalah dengan mengadakan pelatihan manajemen kualitas air. Pelatihan manajemen kualitas air terdiri dari monitoring kualitas air, pemelihara dan penggunaan alat dan bahan kualitas air, dan pengelolaan kualitas air.

Cassava is a local commodity that can be processed into functional food. Functional food is defined as a food or drink that provides nutrients for the body while simultaneously maintaining a healthy body. Although there has been a long tradition of processing cassava into traditional snacks, the decreasing interest of consumers, especially young people, in traditional snacks makes it necessary to innovate products. For instance, the processing of cassava into contemporary products such as nuggets, sponge cake, and tapai drinks. The objective of this community service activity is to educate partners regarding the necessity of consuming functional food, particularly from local commodities such as cassava, and to instruct partners on the processing of cassava, which is abundant in their area, into various functional food products with commercial value. The partners of this activity were members of the West Lombok 'Aisyiyyah Regional Leadership (PDA), a total of 16 women. The service activity is divided into three sessions: functional food counselling, cassava processing practice, and practice using sealers to package products. Prior to and following the activity, participants were administered a test to assess the impact of the service activity on their knowledge and skills in processing functional food and packaging products. The results of the pre- and post-test data processing indicate that there have been significant changes (32.5% improvement) in the participants' knowledge. Furthermore, the results of the observations of the participants' practical activities demonstrate that all participants have been able to process cassava into a variety of contemporary functional food products with a selling value and have become proficient in using cup and hand sealers.
