Effect of Per Capita Income on Youth Unemployment in Kenya
Authors: Okuom Jerry , Obange Nelson , Odhiambo Scholastica
Published: September 2023

Purpose: The objective was to determine the effect of per capita income on youth unemployment in Kenya.

Methodology: The study was anchored on Okun’s law, which predicts a 1% drop in employment from a 2% drop in GDP. The study used the World Bank Database’s quantitative time series data from 1991–2021. The choice of the ARDL was based on the ability of the model to give long-run and short-run analyses of stationary and non-stationary variables. Pre-estimation procedures and diagnostics tests were used to determine the stability of the model.

Findings: Findings revealed a significant negative relationship between per capita income (-0.3666, p = 0.013) and youth unemployment in the long-run. The speed of adjustment (-0.89999, p = 0.0001) from the short-run to the long-run is evident.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: This study may help academicians develop their knowledge of youth unemployment. It may increase understanding of per capita income as an indicator of growth and its application in Okun’s law. The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) may benefit from this study by creating better packages of salaries, allowances, and mortgages that may attract and improve the standard of living of Kenyan youth. The Public Service Board (PSB) may establish youth-friendly offices to motivate youth to stay in the labour force. Moreover, this study may guide the State Department for Youth Affairs to promote youth employment and increase labour productivity in Kenya. The State Department of Gender may use the study in gender mainstreaming and gender policy management. Policymakers will assess the effectiveness of the curriculum in preparing youth for the job market. An increase in labour productivity will result from increasing youth employment.

Authors: Lufano Veneranda , Kirori Gabriel , Mugiira Rose
Published: September 2023

Purpose: This study examined the performance of food and beverage industries in Tanzania in terms of productive and technical efficiency. The specific objectives of the study were to evaluate the productive efficiency performance of food and beverage industries in Tanzania, to determine the level and trend of efficiency of food and beverage of food and beverage industry in Tanzania, and to assess the levels of productive efficiency performance in the food and beverage subsectors in Tanzania

Methodology: The study used secondary data to achieve its objectives. The study employed a Panel data analysis technique using 40 companies in the manufacturing sector over a period of three years, 2018-2020. A stochastic frontier production model was applied using a linearized Translog production function to determine the performance elasticity coefficients of inputs and technical efficiency. The study used production theory advanced by Koutsoyiannis (1979) to explain the relatonship between input and output factors.

Findings: One of the key findings was that the level and trend of efficiency in food and beverage industry demonstrated an upward trend for the period between 2018 and 2020 as evidenced by the changes in average in both food and beverage sub-sector which grew from 0.776 in 2018 to 0.7557 in 2019 and finally to 0.7746 in 2020. Another finding of the study was that, the individual productive efficiency distribution between food and beverage sub-sector revealed that beverage sub-sector performs much better than food sub-sectors, with an average technical efficiency of 77.85% and 81.36% for both food and beverage sub-sectors, respectively.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study’s unique contributions to theory include its assessment of efficiency levels, analysis of efficiency trends, and exploration of sector-specific variations. Its practical contributions encompass policy recommendations, guidance on modernization and technology adoption, and the importance of skills development and export promotion. These insights have direct implications for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and practitioners in Tanzania's food and beverage sector, aiding in the formulation of effective strategies to enhance efficiency and competitiveness.

The study recommends that the government and other stakeholders comes up with policy reforms to address the underlying factors contributing to the underutilization of each firm’s production capacity. This includes reforming the input market in the manufacturing sector in order to increase the level of efficiency to 100%. There should be establishment of an efficient marketing mechanism that reduces the involvement of many parties in the supply chain and hence high transaction costs.

EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. As social media is increasingly becoming a standard feature of sociological practice, this timely book rethinks the role of these mediums in public sociology and what they can contribute to the discipline in the post-COVID world. It reconsiders the history and current conceptualizations of what sociology is, and analyzes what kinds of social life emerge in and through the interactions between ‘intellectuals’, ‘publics’ and ‘platforms’ of communication. Cutting across multiple disciplines, this pioneering work envisions a new kind of public sociology that brings together the digital and the physical to create public spaces where critical scholarship and active civic engagement can meet in a mutually reinforcing way.

Authors: Guo Ying , Zhang Ru , Nie Ping
Published: September 2023

Based on the realistic background of the development of museums in Linyi City, Shandong Province, this paper makes a SWOT analysis of the development of the museum cluster in Linyi City. The development advantages of the museum cluster in Linyi City mainly include superior geographical location, the emergence of a red tourism brand, the promotion of resource sharing and complementation, and the realization of collaborative promotion and marketing. However, the development of the museum cluster may inevitably involve unfavourable factors and disadvantages in popularity and influence, construction and operation costs, competition and cooperation, and interest distribution. Even so, developing museum clusters in Linyi City is beneficial to realize opportunities such as resource sharing and complementarity, collaborative promotion and marketing, forming cultural tourism destinations, and promoting academic exchanges and cooperation. Meanwhile, it is necessary to coordinate the cooperative relationship among multiple museums, which may lead to challenges in the distribution of benefits, cultural differences and ideas, resource sharing and mutual assistance, and organization and management in promoting the museum clusters in Linyi City. In future development, Linyi City can improve the visibility and influence of the city through the development of museum clusters, attract more tourists and funds, and promote the innovation and development of cultural and tourism undertakings. The government should also increase its support for cultural undertakings and provide more policy support for developing museum clusters.

Motor neuron diseases (MNDs) are neurodegenerative disorders that are distinguished by muscle wasting and loss of muscle strength following the gradual deterioration and death of Motor Neurons. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the commonest among MNDs. These diseases are untreatable, with limited disease-modifying therapy options. There is a paucity of research on MNDs in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly, molecular and genetic-based studies are deficient. We present a case report of a 55-year-old African with a descending form of paralysis of Motor Neuron disease

Oral ranulas are pseudocysts resulting from the retention of mucus or extravasation of saliva that often affect children. This article aims to report two clinical cases of oral ranulas and discuss the treatment using the micromarsupialization technique. Case 1: 6-year-old girl, attended the Emergency Room of the Bebe Clinic of the State University of Londrina complaining of a “ball under the tongue” lasting approximately 3 months. Clinically, reddish bubble of approximately 1.5 cm in diameter was noted located on the right side of the dome-shaped mouth floor, sessile base and fluctuating. Case 2: 5-year-old girl, attended the same service with a complaint of “bubble on the tongue” lasting approximately 2 months. Clinically, pink-colored bubble similar to the mucosa of approximately 1 cm in diameter was observed located on the left side of the floor of the mouth with a circumscribed shape, sessile base and fluctuating. Based on the clinical aspects and the current history of the lesions, the diagnosis was oral ranula and the surgical treatment performed was micromarsupialization. In a clinical follow-up of 8 and 6 months, respectively, total regression of the lesions was observed, with no clinical signs of recurrence. Based on the reported clinical cases, it can be concluded that the use of micromarsupialization technique represents an effective surgical procedure in children due to its quick execution, conservative approach, without the use of local infiltrative anesthesia, well tolerated and with good prognosis.

Authors: Nushruth  , Panakaje Niyaz
Published: September 2023

Purpose: The Government has implemented various schemes for the welfare and upliftment of every section of the society including minorities especially the economically weaker and deprived sections of the society. Ministry of Minority Affairs also implements programmes/ schemes for socio-economic and educational empowerment of the six centrally notified minority communities namely Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Muslims, Parsis and Jains. Hence, the extensive review of existing literatures on role of Government Schemes in empowerment of religious minorities has been conducted to identifying the factors influencing empowerment of Minorities and also to identify the gap in this body research.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Secondary sources are used to gather the information needed for the current investigation. This is based on an analysis of the literature that has already been published, including information from a variety of exploratory articles, papers, books, journals, and magazines. The information needed for the study was gathered via Google Scholars, Research Gate, and Science Direct.
Findings: The minority communities are socially deprived, economically backward and educationally under-privileged in India. Despite having many efforts on educational development, the access and participation of minority communities are less and insufficient. Though both central and state government has implemented various schemes for the well- being of religious minority group, due to lack of awareness about the schemes minorities are using only selected schemes. All the states are not benefitted uniformly from the schemes and there should be a positive change in social structure.
Originality/Value: This study will provide guidelines to Government and policy makers for uplifting the religious minority group.
Paper type: Literature Review paper.

Published: September 2023

Çalışma, yer yüzeyi sıcaklıklarındaki (YYS) değişimlerin kent sınırları ve arazi kullanımı ile ilişkisinin Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi’ndeki Şanlıurfa, Diyarbakır ve Mardin kentlerinde ortaya konmasını amaçlamıştır. YYS’de en belirgin artış kent yüzeylerinde meydana gelmektedir. Bu nedenle kentler çevresine göre daha sıcak ortamlar (ısı adası) olarak belirmektedir. Kentlerde farklı arazi kullanımlarına göre YYS de değişmektedir. Bu çalışmada kullanılan veriler 2019 yılı için Landsat 8 (OLI-TIRS), 1990 yılı için Landsat TM 5 uydu görüntüleri, kentsel alan sınırları, CORINE ve kentsel arazi örtüsü/arazi kullanım (AÖ/AK) sınıflarıdır. Literatürde önerilen formüller kullanılarak YYS haritaları oluşturulmuştur. 1990-2019 yılları arasında YYS’de meydana gelen değişim üretilen fark haritaları ile bulunmuştur. YYS değerleri ile arazi kullanım sınıfları örneklem noktaları kullanılarak karşılaştırılmış, meydana gelen YYS değişiminin nedenleri irdelenmiştir. Diyarbakır kentsel alanının %50’sinde, Şanlıurfa’nın %36’sında, Mardin’in %54’ünde kente özgü YYS fark ortalamasının üzerinde YYS değerleri tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca üç kentte de 1990 yılı kent sınırının genel olarak YYS fark ortalamasının üstünde kaldığı saptanmıştır. Kente ve bölgeye özgü önerilerin yanı sıra aktif ve nitelikli yeşil altyapı çalışmaları ile kent çekirdeklerinde koruma-kullanma dengesi gözetilerek iklim projeksiyonlarına uygun ve yenilikçi çözümlerin uygulanması tavsiye edilmektedir.

Published: September 2023

Among many environmental problems, soil erosion poses a serious threat to the region known as Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHTs) in Bangladesh, comprising three districts, namely Bandarban, Rangamati, and Khagrachari. The annual soil erosion rate for this hilly terrain was calculated using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model integrated with Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS). The ranges of the estimated erosivity of rainfall, erodibility of the soil, slope length and slope steepness, crop management factor and conservation practices are 806.2 to 1513.2 MJ.mm.ha-1.h-1.yr-1 (or an average of 1121.5 MJ.mm.ha-1.h-1.yr-1), 0 to 0.02 t.h.MJ-1 mm-1, 0 to 78.8 (or average 0.41), 0 to 0.63 (or average 0.57) and 0.55 to 1 (or average 0.73), respectively. As per the findings, the study area is expected to lose 182621.5 tons of soil annually, with the estimated annual soil erosion rate of 15.18 t.ha-1.yr-1 also predicted. The weighted overlay index approach was used to produce the probability zone map, which shows that the majority of the research region falls within the slight probability zone and that only a small percentage falls inside the high and very high probability zones. This study proves RS-GIS is useful for predicting erosion and can be used in soil conservation programs.

A entrada do Pânico no DSM-III e sua performance a partir da Imipramina
Authors: Dos Santos Giovanna Paccillo
Published: September 2023

Este artigo se debruça sobre a história, a partir da psiquiatria, do diagnóstico de transtorno de pânico e de sua consolidação nas décadas seguintes na literatura científica. Acompanhando um movimento histórico e cultural da psiquiatria dos anos de 1960 a 1980 de fortes críticas à psicoterapia psicodinâmica, o pânico emerge como um transtorno pela primeira vez a partir do teste clínico com um medicamento chamado Imipramina, no final da década de 1950. Ao comparar os primeiros testes em que o psiquiatra Donald Klein realizava em pacientes institucionalizados aos experimentos posteriores usando placebo, demonstra-se como uma transformação no horizonte teórico da psiquiatria norte-americana (da psicanálise para a psiquiatria biológica) era inscrita nesses experimentos. Argumenta-se que, além de uma rejeição teórica à psicanálise como fator explicativo, havia uma rejeição de formato, que acaba sendo instituída, oficialmente, no terceiro Manual Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais (DSM-III).

Este texto analisa atualizações do sentido de utopia no contexto do Antropoceno com base nas reflexões sobre micropolíticas de resistência propostas por Félix Guattari. O objetivo é lançar luz às diferenças entre as utopias contemporâneas e modernas, anteriores à crise das utopias do fim do século XX, caracterizadas pela busca por mudanças na base estrutural socioeconômica e no sistema político. Compreende-se utopia como uma micropolítica de resistência que cria modos de ser e de estar no mundo, como desejo de produzir a vida e de resistência às formas de dominação e à captura dos processos de subjetivação, sem projetar a construção de um mundo ideal, mas de acompanhar como emergem, junto aos sujeitos, novos campos e a criação de outros mundos possíveis. Nesse sentido, propõe-se a noção de utopia heurística, capaz de incidir sobre a educação do desejo, ensejando práticas sociais que propiciem experienciar e aprender sobre as possibilidades de vivências alternativas e futuros sustentáveis.
Paisagens, histórias e ecologias mais que humanas do gado ao longo dos campos na Amazônia Marajoara
Authors: Pereira da Silva Matheus Henrique
Published: September 2023

O presente artigo aborda os efeitos da introdução do gado vacum e cavalar ao longo das paisagens dos campos na Ilha de Marajó a partir das relações ecológicas envolvendo o extermínio de milhares de jacarés e a proliferação de uma doença que afetou o rebanho de cavalos ao longo do tempo. Dessa forma, a ideia foi contar três histórias mais que humanas de simplificações ecológicas e de proliferações ferais relacionadas ao gado que constituem perturbações nas paisagens locais: 1a) a introdução, a formação e o asselvajamento do gado vacum e cavalar na ilha; 2a) a proliferação feral de uma doença que dizimou o rebanho cavalar; e 3a) o extermínio de milhares de jacarés-açus com o intuito de promover o desenvolvimento da indústria pastoril marajoara. Por fim, conclui-se que a criação do gado como animal do Antropoceno está relacionada a alterações ecológicas multiespecíficas dentro do projeto de colonização e de habitação da Amazônia marajoara que foge ao controle e ao domínio humano sobre a natureza.

Published: September 2023

INTRODUÇÃO: Este trabalho aborda a experiência multiprofissional numa maternidade escola localizada no nordeste do país, referência em gravidez de alto risco no Rio Grande do Norte. A intervenção ocorre a partir da assistência à perda perinatal, através do grupo de apoio desenvolvido pelo Projeto de Extensão Com Amor direcionado aos pais e familiares enlutados. OBJETIVO: Auxiliar na elaboração do luto, construir estratégias de enfrentamento e ressignificar sentimentos e atitudes diante da desorganização que o processo de morte e morrer provoca na vida dos pais e familiares enlutados, além de colaborar para a formação acadêmica e aperfeiçoamento profissional. MÉTODOS: O presente trabalho se configura enquanto um estudo de cunho qualitativo descritivo, com embasamento teórico bibliográfico acerca da temática em tela. Diante da pandemia da Covid-19, visando a garantia da segurança dos sujeitos envolvidos, foi adotado o método remoto. Os encontros se respaldam no compartilhamento do processo de luto com escuta cuidadosa e empática, objetivando uma assistência acolhedora e humanizada. Na experiência dos encontros de forma virtual foi observado a facilitação da participação dos enlutados, dos profissionais e discentes envolvidos. RESULTADOS: As questões financeiras, territoriais e trabalhistas deixaram de ser um empecilho para a participação. Desse modo, verifica-se que os participantes na modalidade online ficam mais confortáveis para chorarem e desligarem a câmera e o microfone, quando acharem conveniente. Houve uma redução das queixas sobre o enfrentamento de retornar à maternidade, espaço onde foi vivenciado a maior dor de suas vidas. CONCLUSÃO: Trabalhar a morte é um desafio, pois, a sociedade não está preparada para discutir a temática e a formação acadêmica se apresenta fragilizada na assistência ao luto. Ademais, a morte de um filho, contraria à “lei natural da vida”, provoca uma desorganização que requer acolhimento humanizado para contribuir na elaboração do luto e facilitar a construção de recursos para o seu enfrentamento e sua ressignificação.

Published: September 2023

INTRODUÇÃO:O diabetes é uma doença que resulta de uma resposta autoimune que danifica as células produtoras de insulina ou descompensação da glicose devido à resistência tecidual à insulina. A falta de controle glicêmico pode representar um grande perigo para os diabéticos. Aumenta o risco de sepse e neuropatia, impede a cicatrização e agrava as úlceras do pé diabético. OBJETIVO: Fazer uma análise na literatura científica sobre os riscos de amputação em pé diabético nos últimos dez anos (2013-2023). MÉTODOS: Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura e as buscas foram realizadas nas bases de dados SCIELO, WEB OF SCIENCE e Revista Eletrônica Acervo em Saúde. Para análise, foram selecionados 14 artigos listando as principais condições de pé diabético, risco de amputação, neuropatia e ulcera publicados entre 2013 e 2023. RESULTADOS: O número de pessoas diagnosticadas com Diabetes Mellitus (DM) tem aumentado rapidamente, tornando-se um importante problema de saúde pública. É, portanto, de interesse buscar pesquisas sobre o pé diabético, doença de grande importância na deterioração do estado de saúde das pessoas com diabetes, cujas diversas doenças vasculares periféricas obrigam à amputação em casos graves e não raros. nas extremidades inferiores. CONCLUSÃO: Avaliação criteriosa do pé diabético, glicemia, consideração de possíveis comorbidades e equipe multidisciplinar que acompanha pacientes com ulceração são necessários para evitar possíveis amputações e devem ser mantidos pelo paciente como medida preventiva.

INTRODUÇÃO: A sífilis é uma Infecção Sexualmente Transmissível (IST), de caráter sistêmico, que apresenta os estágios de manifestações clínicas divididos em primário, secundário, latente e terciário. Essa doença infectocontagiosa é causada pela bactéria Treponema pallidum e apesar de curável, se diagnosticada precocemente e tratada em tempo oportuno, possui elevada morbidade, capaz de comprometer, principalmente, o sistema nervoso e cardiovascular. Nos últimos anos tem se observado uma alta prevalência de sífilis nas pessoas idosas OBJETIVO: o objetivo do trabalho é analisar dados epidemiológicos no Brasil nos últimos dez anos. MÉTODOS: O estudo foi realizado a partir de análise epidemiológica, ecológica, quantitativa e descritiva de dados secundários apanhados por meio da interface TabNet do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS). RESULTADOS: O Brasil registrou 75208 casos de sífilis adquirida no público idoso durante o período analisado. Em 2021, houve o total de 4134 casos notificados, 2422 registros a mais do que em 2011. Isso representa um aumento de 152%. A região Sul apresentou o maior aumento quantitativo no período analisado, saindo de 86 casos em 2011 para 1063 em 2021. Já a região Norte ficou com o maior aumento percentual, apresentando aumento de 1427. CONCLUSÃO: Nota-se que os idosos estão sendo cada vez mais acometidos por IST 's, como a sífilis. Esse fator pode estar associado a uma questão cultural em que esse público não vê a si mesmo como grupo de risco para essas infecções. Percebe-se a necessidade de maiores ações de análise e intervenção para que haja controle do quadro.

The aspect of literacy in the education sector has been aligned to the ability to read and write. Therefore, scholars have suggested that teachers are the most endowed professionals in relation to academic literacy, but there are a few studies conducted to determine teacher’s financial literacy. The main objective of the study was to analyse personal financial literacy among teachers in secondary schools. The study sampled 354 secondary school teachers from ten government secondary schools between the ages 24 and 55 years. Using qualitative and quantitative methods (Mixed method) and a questionnaire/interview guide to collect data, the results of the study revealed that financial literacy levels among secondary school teachers demonstrate that teachers in areas of long term planning attitude shows high or positive results while the aspects of saving, spending behaviour and tracking finances through record keeping was low or negative results. However, some teachers demonstrated some considerable financial knowledge on the concept of financial literacy with a percentage of 44% and also performed below par on the segment of spending and keeping financial records. Therefore, the study recommended, strengthening of financial literacy in the teacher education curriculum, various teacher organisations and unions provide seminars on financial literacy for their members to ensure that they are financially secure and the need for a collaboration between the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance to develop mechanisms of disseminating information materials on financial literacy to teachers. This study is significant as it could be used as an evaluation tool for the national strategy on financial education (NSFE II) for Zambia (2019 –2024) which sets out the framework for improving financial education in Zambia.
