A Critical Stylistic Study of Peter Obi’s Campaign Speech Delivered at Chatham House
Authors: Omotunde Samuel Adebayo
Published: March 2024

This paper is a critical stylistic analysis of Peter Obi’s presidential campaign speech that he delivered at Chatham House in the United Kingdom on January 26, 2023. Critical stylistics provides the reader or listener with ten analytical tools to make use of in carrying out critical analysis of texts for the main purpose of identifying the meanings and ideologies inherent in such texts. The aim of this work then is to investigate some of the meanings and ideologies which Peter Obi passes on to his listeners through lexical choice as well as sentence pattern and construction using three of the ten tools put forward by Jeffries (2010) for investigating the various meanings in texts. The three tools selected are: naming and describing, prioritising and equating and contrasting. Findings reveal that though all the excerpts bring out different meanings that are relevant to the text, however, the ideology behind them that serves as the foundation for all the interpretations is that of positive self presentation and negative “Other” presentation.

Authors: Lamçe Nives , Fetai Besnik
Published: March 2024

This paper analyzes how deforestation and investments are influenced by the legalization of cannabis products for medical/industrial and recreational purposes, as well as their possible protection with Designation of Origin, and Geographical Indication. The long history of illegal cannabis-related activity and the consequences of such activity in the economy, society, and ecosystem during the last decades, the considerations of this paper are of high interest for new business opportunities, expanding or changing existing business objectives, and revitalizing affected forests. A questionnaire via electronic means was spread to gather the data while the logit model and its marginal effect were applied to obtain the results and analyze this influence. Investments in the field of cannabis for medical/industrial and/or recreational purposes appear to be more sensitive to this change, whether the preservation of the ecosystem seems not to be positively influenced. The actual legislative change and a potential future one do show significance, contrary to the industrial property rights, showing the need for further awareness of the benefits of these instruments for the economy. The findings interest economists, pharma and other relevant business fields, policymakers, and scientists in Albania, the region, and worldwide.

Conclusion: 3D mammograms have the ability to distinguish benign/malignant breast tumors better than 2D mammograms. 3D mammography should be considered in combination with or instead of 2D mammography in diagnosing breast lesions, especially in cases with dense breast tissue.
Dynamics of teaching practice in South Africa: A nexus between theory and practice
Authors: Zondo Sindiswa Silindokuhle , Adu Emmanuel Olusola
Published: March 2024

Teaching practice is organized to prepare student-teachers by providing skilled supervision, practical experience, mentoring and support, collaborative learning, and insightful practice. However, it has been found that when student teachers embark on teaching practice, they find it hard to put into practice the theoretical knowledge they have acquired in teacher training institutions. The study aimed to explore how this program is organized to equip student-teachers with skills for handling learners' academic needs in schools, the challenges encountered by student-teachers during teaching practice and possible solutions. For this interpretive, qualitative case study research, two universities were purposively sampled and in each of the universities, three university supervisors and four student teachers were selected. Semi-structured interviews and observations were used as data collection tools. The findings indicated that even though teaching practice is a well-organized programme, challenges were noted. The findings indicated that to a certain degree, teaching practice appears to be fragmented, thus ineffective in assisting student-teachers, and this was evident from the student-teacher’s inability to cope with teaching tasks. Conflicts between teachers and school managers, overcrowded classrooms, misbehaving learners, and unavailability of resources emerged as challenges. The study also reported a gap between theory and practice as student teachers failed to integrate theoretical knowledge with practice. The study recommended a close relationship between teacher training institutions and schools so that when students embark on teaching practice, they can relate to the real complexities of teaching in schools, thus this will bring about the implementation of theory to practical teaching experience.
Rural tourism in South Africa: A local economic development strategy
Authors: Ramukumba Takalani
Published: March 2024

This study aims to assess the potential of rural tourism as a strategy for local economic development in three rural villages in the Thulamela Local Municipality, which falls under the Vhembe District Municipality in the Limpopo province of South Africa. Rural tourism is considered a promising industry for rural development and a popular approach to local economic growth. Sustainable rural tourism is recognised as a crucial component of rural development and is particularly important in developing nations, such as South Africa, where substantial rural populations and limited economic activity exist. The study utilised a qualitative research approach, drawing on an exploratory design and interpretive paradigm. A purposive sampling technique was adopted to select participants. Focus group discussions were conducted with the participants, and content analysis was used to analyse the collected data. The study indicates that rural tourism could effectively promote local economic growth in the three rural villages by providing residents with employment opportunities, thereby reducing poverty rates in rural areas. However, challenges remain, including the lack of funding to support small tourism businesses and the need for human capital development in local communities. The study recommends a gradual approach to knowledge and skills development within local communities to support the business aspects of rural tourism development, as well as the provision of funding assistance.
Role and impact of contract farming under various pricing standards: A case of Guyana's rice sector
Authors: Gillette Raulston Derrick , Sakai Norio , Ibikoule Godfrid Erasme
Published: March 2024

Rice cultivation has played a pivotal role in Guyana's agricultural history, contributing significantly to both sustenance and economic prosperity for over two centuries. Accounting for 3.3% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) and a substantial 20.5% of the agricultural GDP, the rice industry has faced challenges influenced by various global and domestic factors, impacting the productivity and profitability of rice farmers. One key influencing factor is contract farming, involving agreements between farmers and firms that outline production and marketing conditions for agricultural products. In Guyana's rice industry, contract farming is prevalent, but challenges such as unequal bargaining power and discrepancies in weights and prices persist. Notably, using two pricing standards, high-price and low-price, further complicates the understanding of contract farming's impact on rice cultivation. We delved into the role and impact of contract farming on rice cultivation in Guyana, with a specific focus on the Mahaica-Berbice and Essequibo Islands-West Demerara regions. In this study, conducted with 121 farmers using systematic sampling, we used profitability assessment, frequency distribution, and binary logistic regression analyses. The findings revealed that high-price contracts contributed to greater farmer profitability compared to low-price contracts. Despite this, low-price contracts persisted due to factors such as risk-sharing, access to credit, and fertilizers. Moreover, pricing standards influenced farmer behavior, with low-price contracts prompting crop diversification to supplement income. These insights underscored the significance of pricing standards in determining the effectiveness of contract farming and its impact on farmers' livelihoods. Policymakers and stakeholders can leverage these findings to design more effective contract farming models, enhancing farmers' profitability and contributing to sustainable agricultural development. Furthermore, future research may explore the impact of farmers' organization membership on contract farming productivity, providing additional depth to our understanding of this crucial agricultural practice.
Advancing solar energy forecasting with modified ANN and light GBM learning algorithms
Authors: Hanif Muhammad Farhan , Naveed Muhammad Sabir , Metwaly Mohamed , Si Jicang , Liu Xiangtao , Mi Jianchun
Published: March 2024

In the evolving field of solar energy, precise forecasting of Solar Irradiance (SI) stands as a pivotal challenge for the optimization of photovoltaic (PV) systems. Addressing the inadequacies in current forecasting techniques, we introduced advanced machine learning models, namely the Rectified Linear Unit Activation with Adaptive Moment Estimation Neural Network (RELAD-ANN) and the Linear Support Vector Machine with Individual Parameter Features (LSIPF). These models broke new ground by striking an unprecedented balance between computational efficiency and predictive accuracy, specifically engineered to overcome common pitfalls such as overfitting and data inconsistency. The RELAD-ANN model, with its multi-layer architecture, sets a new standard in detecting the nuanced dynamics between SI and meteorological variables. By integrating sophisticated regression methods like Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Lightweight Gradient Boosting Machines (Light GBM), our results illuminated the intricate relationship between SI and its influencing factors, marking a novel contribution to the domain of solar energy forecasting. With an R2 of 0.935, MAE of 8.20, and MAPE of 3.48%, the model outshone other models, signifying its potential for accurate and reliable SI forecasting, when compared with existing models like Multi-Layer Perceptron, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Multilayer-LSTM, Gated Recurrent Unit, and 1-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network, while the LSIPF model showed limitations in its predictive ability. Light GBM emerged as a robust approach in evaluating environmental influences on SI, outperforming the SVR model. Our findings contributed significantly to the optimization of solar energy systems and could be applied globally, offering a promising direction for renewable energy management and real-time forecasting.

Background

In clinical diagnostics, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology plays a crucial role in the recognition of cardiac regions, serving as a pivotal tool to assist physicians in diagnosing cardiac diseases. Despite the notable success of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in cardiac MRI segmentation, it remains a challenge to use existing CNNs-based methods to deal with fuzzy information in cardiac MRI. Therefore, we proposed a novel network architecture named DAFNet to comprehensively address these challenges.

Methods

The proposed method was used to design a fuzzy convolutional module, which could improve the feature extraction performance of the network by utilizing fuzzy information that was easily ignored in medical images while retaining the advantage of attention mechanism. Then, a multi-scale feature refinement structure was designed in the decoder portion to solve the problem that the decoder structure of the existing network had poor results in obtaining the final segmentation mask. This structure further improved the performance of the network by aggregating segmentation results from multi-scale feature maps. Additionally, we introduced the dynamic convolution theory, which could further increase the pixel segmentation accuracy of the network.

Result

The effectiveness of DAFNet was extensively validated for three datasets. The results demonstrated that the proposed method achieved DSC metrics of 0.942 and 0.885, and HD metricd of 2.50mm and 3.79mm on the first and second dataset, respectively. The recognition accuracy of left ventricular end-diastolic diameter recognition on the third dataset was 98.42%.

Conclusion

Compared with the existing CNNs-based methods, the DAFNet achieved state-of-the-art segmentation performance and verified its effectiveness in clinical diagnosis.
Harvesting a population model with Allee effect in a periodically varying environment
Authors: Alharbi Fahad M.
Published: March 2024

A nonautonomous logistic population model with a feature of an Allee threshold has been investigated in a periodically fluctuating environment. A slow periodicity of the harvesting effort was considered and may arise in response to relatively slow fluctuations of the environment. This assumption permits obtaining the analytical approximate solutions of such model using the perturbation approach based on the slow variation. Thus, the analytical expressions of the population evolution in the situation of subcritical and the supercritical harvesting were obtained and discussed in the framework of the Allee effect. Since the exact solution was not available due to the nonlinearity of the system, the numerical computation was considered to validate our analytical approximation. The comparison between the two methods showed a remarkable agreement as the time progressed, while such agreement fell off when the time was close to the initial density. Moreover, in the absence of the periodicity of the harvesting term, the expressions of the population evolution reduced to the exact solutions but in implicit forms. The finding results were appropriate for a wide range of parameter values, which lead to avoiding extensive recalculations while displaying the population behavior.
Capital culturel numérique des enseignants et territoires apprenants. Analyses des ressources et des parcours d’appropriation du numérique par les enseignants dans des tiers lieux coopératifs

Published: March 2024

L’article propose une analyse de la différenciation de l’appropriation des ressources numériques par les enseignants en s’intéressant au potentiel transformatif des coopératives pédagogiques numériques (CPN) déployées dans des établissements scolaires en Bretagne, tiers lieux d’accompagnement et de formation des enseignants sur le territoire. Cette analyse a pour origine l’ethnographie du premier collège connecté de Saint-Brieuc. L’expérimentation a été menée entre 2016 et 2020 dans l’académie de Rennes dans le cadre du projet de recherche e-FRAN-IDÉE. La recherche s’est construite en articulation avec la création des quatre CPN par la région académique Bretagne dont les chercheurs ont étudié le fonctionnement. En nous appuyant particulièrement sur les données des CPN des Côtes-d’Armor (22) et du Morbihan (56), nous discutons les enjeux et les finalités de la création de ces tiers lieux dans des établissements scolaires. Les activités des moyens humains (animateurs des CPN, personnes ressources, étudiants-apprentis…) sont au cœur de notre analyse, qui renvoie à la notion de ressource, définie comme l’ensemble des « moyens dont dispose un individu ou un groupe pour mener à bien une action ». Ces moyens dépendent des opportunités offertes par l’environnement, à plus forte raison dans le champ éducatif, et des aptitudes des individus à les mobiliser.
Aux sources des inégalités face au numérique, le rapport des enseignants du secondaire aux technologies numériques : retrait, appropriation ou partage ?

La recherche IDÉE étudie la mise en place sur le territoire breton des coopératives pédagogiques numériques (CPN), dispositif de formation continue initié par le rectorat inséré dans un dispositif de type living-lab pour proposer à des enseignants des espaces et des temps de partage d'expériences pédagogiques, de production de ressources mais aussi de formation entre pairs, notamment en lien avec leurs usages des technologies numériques. À partir d’une enquête quantitative et qualitative, nous interrogeons ici la relation des enseignants du secondaire aux technologies numériques dans le contexte de leurs pratiques pédagogiques en reliant trois échelles d’analyse : les discours institutionnels prescrivant le recours au numérique ; les usages en classe ; l’acquisition de compétences par la formation et par la collaboration entre enseignants.

Published: March 2024

Utiliser le numérique en classe pour soutenir le développement de l’autonomie des élèves fait partie des recommandations institutionnelles, mais constitue un objectif complexe pour les professeurs. Nous étudions dans cet article dans quelle mesure une formation initiale fondée sur un travail documentaire collectif de conception de scénarios de classe peut contribuer à l’atteinte de cet objectif pour des professeurs stagiaires. Nous présentons trois études de cas, en anglais, mathématiques et sciences physiques. Nous analysons le potentiel de scénarios de classe conçus par les stagiaires en termes d’usages du numérique et d’autonomisation des élèves, et cherchons à identifier des invariants opératoires émergents à partir des scénarios et de leur présentation par les stagiaires. La mise en regard des trois disciplines montre des traits communs et des spécificités disciplinaires.
La construction d’un partenariat éducatif. Sociohistoire d’un dispositif de lutte contre le décrochage scolaire
Authors: Jacquot Alicia
Published: March 2024

Cet article s’interroge sur les conditions de mise en place d’un dispositif de lutte contre le décrochage scolaire au collège (atelier relais) et le partenariat entre deux mondes sociaux distincts que sont l’éducation populaire et l’Éducation nationale. Un premier temps retrace l’histoire croisée de ces deux mondes, en prenant appui sur des archives et des entretiens mémoriels. Un deuxième temps analyse les discours des acteurs institutionnels de ce dispositif (responsables associatifs nationaux et responsables de l’Éducation nationale). L’histoire et les discours révèlent alors l’existence de cités de justification similaires ainsi qu’un objectif d’action partagé qui renforce la convergence de ces deux mondes.
Inégalités d'accès, de formation et d'utilisation des technologies numériques pour les mathématiques à l'école dans deux pays d'Amérique latine : la Colombie et le Mexique

Nous analysons les inégalités et les limites de l'intégration des technologies numériques (TN) dans les écoles de deux pays d'Amérique latine : la Colombie et le Mexique. Nous cherchons à donner un aperçu des problèmes auxquels nos deux pays sont confrontés pour l'accès et l'utilisation des TN dans le contexte particulier de l'enseignement des mathématiques. Dans les deux pays, il existe des limitations à l'accès et à l'utilisation du numérique dans les écoles publiques de tous les niveaux, reflétant les inégalités socioéconomiques de nos sociétés, ce qui contraste avec les situations des pays plus développés. Cette situation ne permet pas de répondre aux besoins urgents de millions d'étudiants colombiens et mexicains.
