Influencia de un proceso participativo en la valoración y percepción de la biodiversidad por las comunidades aledañas a fragmentos boscosos de Armenia, Quindío
Authors: Ruiz López Juan Esteban , Suárez Román Rocío Stella
Published: October 2022

La relación entre la biodiversidad y los grupos sociales es sumamente compleja; la humanidad depende esencialmente de los sistemas biológicos, sin embargo, sus acciones amenazan con destruirlos, surgiendo así los problemas ambientales, como la fragmentación de hábitat. Los fragmentos boscosos persistentes tras la urbanización de la ciudad de Armenia, son potencialmente muy biodiversos, y dado que la participación de la comunidad en la gestión y valoración de la biodiversidad, es fundamental para su conservación; se tuvo como objetivo, evaluar la influencia de un proceso participativo en la valoración y percepción de la biodiversidad por las comunidades locales aledañas a fragmentos boscosos de la ciudad. Se identificó mediante encuestas y diálogo de saberes, la percepción y valoración de las comunidades locales aledañas a tres fragmentos boscosos, en torno a plantas, mamíferos, aves, mariposas y escarabajos coprófagos; después de la implementación de un proceso participativo de reconocimiento de la biodiversidad y educación ambiental, se implementaron nuevamente las estrategias metodológicas anteriormente mencionadas, y se compararon y analizaron estadísticamente los resultados obtenidos en los dos momentos. Se encontró que la percepción y valoración de la biodiversidad por las comunidades locales es variable para los cinco grupos biológicos evaluados, y la valoración de la biodiversidad antes y después del proceso, fue significativamente diferente (p<0,05). La influencia del proceso participativo, en el cambio de percepción y valoración de la biodiversidad por las comunidades locales aledañas a los fragmentos boscosos de Armenia, puede favorecer su conservación y la de su biodiversidad asociada.

Authors: Mustafa Amin Rukaini , Razli Amar Yasier
Published: October 2022

Kajian ini meneliti impak pandemik COVID-19 terhadap kesihatan dan daya tahan populasi di Malaysia dalam beberapa aspek seperti pertumbuhan populasi, kesihatan mental, keutuhan sistem kekeluargaan dan implikasi vaksin. Melalui analisis yang dilakukan menggunakan data sekunder dari pelbagai sumber terbuka, kajian ini mendapati bahawa pandemik COVID-19 mampu mempercepat proses penuaan populasi Malaysia sekiranya tiada tindakan intervensi dilakukan. Secara amnya, tahap daya tahan populasi Malaysia dengan impak COVID-19 adalah lemah dengan berlakunya peningkatan kes-kes berkaitan isu kesihatan mental seperti bunuh diri dan keruntuhan sistem kekeluargaan seperti penderaan dan perceraian. Faktor tekanan ekonomi yang tinggi akibat kehilangan pekerjaan menjadi punca utama yang menyumbang kepada trend-trend tersebut. Program vaksinasi yang telah dijalankan tidak dapat melenyapkan pandemik dengan segera tetapi telah mengurangkan kadar kematian secara signifikan dan membantu dalam peralihan ke fasa endemik.

Authors: Chakrapani Eti T , Ramesh Kode V , Potharaju M
Published: October 2022

Concrete made with geopolymer technology is thought to be both pro-ecological and minimal cost-effective. Geopolymer concrete manufacture aids in the conversion of industrial by-product materials into reusable products. Geopolymer concrete outperforms OPC concrete in terms of strength. The ternary blended high-molarities (12M) geopolymer concrete used in this experiment was made of  red mud (RM), fly ash (FA), and Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS). The current study intended to establish the best ratio of RM - FA - GGBFS -based ternary geopolymer concrete. The compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength tests were performed to determine the strength properties and water absorption, permeability, and sorptivity tests determined the durability characteristics. The results showes that the proportions of RM-based ternary GPC with   RM: FA:GGBFS in  45:35:20 ratio   resulted in a significant increase in the synthesis.  This resulting in improved mechanical and microstructural properties than the other proportions. Higher results were also seen at the aforementioned ratio in the chemical analysis performed on the ternary-based geopolymer paste to determine the maximum pH value. The study's findings are encouraging sustainable and cost-effective routes for dealing with the industrial by-products that are presently produced in multiple regions.
The Demographic Dividend As A Pathway To Development: The Role of Fertility and Education in Sub-Saharan Africa. A Narrative Review
Authors: Osei-Appaw Akosua , Christian Aaron
Published: October 2022

Purpose: Sub-Saharan African countries are experiencing rapid population growth. This is essential in achieving the Demographic Dividend. Age structure, fertility and education play a key role in the achievement of the Demographic Dividend. Although gains from age structure are crucial, its gains are not automatic. However, the inter-relatedness of fertility and education makes a reduction in fertility a cause and effect on investments in education.

Methodology: This narrative review looks at studies discussing the Demographic Dividend from a development theory point of view. It is an attempt to explain how different countries within Sub-Saharan Africa are faring due to the inter-play between fertility and education.

Findings: The results highlight how the Demographic Dividend is really an Educational Dividend. It also shows a negative correlation between education and fertility across regions and time. The political environment with emphasis on good governance plays a key role in harnessing the Demographic Dividend. Aside this, a fertility decline alone could worsen the existing economic conditions if it is not in tandem with higher education rates among young adults. This is in line with Ester Boserup’s view of seeing population as a resource.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy (recommendation): A conducive political environment attracts investments and creates room for entrepreneurship and job creation which are necessary to be able to harness the Demographic Dividend. There’s the need to however, look at the definition of working age group and conditions necessary to promote entrepreneurship.
Asynchronous Wind Turbine Generator: Output Power Evaluation
Authors: Alhusein Nasr Ismael
Published: October 2022

In addition to photovoltaic (PV) power plants, wind turbine generators represent the most ubiquitous renewable energy use today. The stochastic and intermittent character of wind as a key source of electricity is one of the fundamental challenges associated with wind turbines WT. This paper describes an induction generator used in wind turbines. The implemented Turbine utilizes a straightforward output power against wind speed relationship to convert wind speed to turbine output power. When the wind speed is below or above the cut-in speed, the turbine produces no real power. Constantly, the machine consumes reactive power. This implemented block compensates for the machine's reactive power demand. Local load consumption is 75 kW. The electricity grid makes up for any shortage in wind turbine generation. When the generator's output exceeds 75 kW, the excess energy is exported to the grid.

The Phenomenon of Strong Rootted Negative Sentiments Against Chinese Ethnics in Indonesia
Authors: Djemat Yuswari O. , Pratama Prasetia Anugrah
Published: October 2022

Despite the fact that ethnic Chinese have lived in Indonesia for a very long period, particularly from the time of Dutch colonialism there, they have continued to experience discrimination and bad attitudes in their daily lives. This study aims to describe the phenomenon of prejudice against people of Chinese ancestry in Indonesia, explain the traits of Indonesians that contribute to prejudice against people of Chinese ancestry, and identify the social and political effects of the strong prejudice against people of Chinese ancestry that exists in Indonesia. The findings of this study, which used a constructivist methodology from international relations and qualitative research techniques, suggest that the failure of Indonesians to forge a strong collective identity is what leads to the escalation of prejudice against ethnic Chinese in that country. The outcome also demonstrates that the gradual treatment of Chinese ethnic minorities as equals after Indonesian independence highlights the urgent necessity for the government to act as an agent capable of altering social structures and fostering a sense of unity
An Analysis of Early Childhood Education (ECE) Lecturers’ Competencies and Skills for Inclusion in 2 Selected Teachers’ Colleges of Zimbabwe; A Contextual Approach
Authors: Nkomo Dr Sikhangezile
Published: October 2022

The concept ‘Education for All ‘calls for all children to be afforded the chance to go to school, with an emphasis on ECD as their main driver of diverse elementary and formative learning experiences in the classroom. This inclusion movement concept was passed at the Jomtien Conference in 1990 and reaffirmed by the Salamanca statement in 1994.The Salamanca statement. Many governments, including Zimbabwe have developed interest in embracing inclusive education. There has not been emboldened research to establish the extent to which transformation in lecturer’s competencies and skills been matched by a paradigm shift in their preparation of ECD teachers for diverse ECD settings. This qualitative case-study therefore was conducted in order to establish the knowledge, skills and competencies that ECD lecturers possess in the context of inclusivity in education. The study was informed by both the transformative paradigm and Mezirow’s transformative learning theory. Ten (n=10) lecturers who train pre-service ECD teachers were purposively sampled from two teacher education colleges to participate in this study. Data was collected through interviews and analysis of documents and narratively presented to address the main research questions that were used for the study. Major findings of the study were that ECD lecturers were not competent enough to adequately prepare their products for inclusive teaching and were experiencing challenges during the training process. Thus, both andragogic and pedagogic issues of inclusivity and ICT skills were a major cause for concern. The study findings showed that the lecturers have a limited understanding of the concept of inclusion. Furthermore the findings indicated that most lecturers lack competencies, skills and confidence in imparting relevant knowledge. Research findings also highlighted that there are still challenges in the execution of the pre-service ECD teacher training hence the trainee teachers are not given quality time, which compromises the quality. Finally the study highlighted a need for a holistic approach encompassing all the relevant stakeholders. Hence the study recommended that inclusion should form the core of the teacher education curriculum with specialist professionals roped in to assist teach content/bodies of knowledge and inform practice on inclusive education. Serving ECD lecturers should be upgraded and equipped with inclusive teaching strategies through workshops and in-service training. Inclusive education practices should be practiced in colleges for transformation of both lecturers

Authors: Perera Pethigamage
Published: October 2022

The main objective of this paper is to zexplore the impact of public sector auditing in fighting corruption and promoting the development agenda in Zimbabwe. The paper explores the extent to which public sector auditing may be used to fight the corruption surge in the public sector. The existing literature on corruption focused more on economic and political perspectives. There is limited literature that explains in depth how elements of the public sector auditing may contribute to a reduction in corruption. The study was based on the positivism research philosophy and explanatory research design. Probability sampling technique was used to develop the sample of the study. A total of 500 respondents were used in the study. The findings of the study indicated that the four elements of public sector auditing process are indeed necessary to fight corruption in the public sector. The study noted that to reduce corruption in the public sector, it was important to ensure and develop auditors integrity, develop and put up strong and effective control systems, promote auditor’s independence and ensure the development of relevant auditors competency. This shows that paper has provided another accounting perspective to the fight against corruption. In view of these findings, the study recommended that Government invest more resources in the development of auditors for the public sector in all the Ministries. There is need for targeted human capital development in the area of public sector auditing which must incorporate auditors integrity, auditing competences, control systems and enhancement of auditors independence in the public sector. This study recommends that future studies may need to examine the value of each of the four elements in the process of fighting corruption.
Speech Acts Analysis of Prophecies and their Influence on the Clients.
Authors: Awogya Awogya Rosemary , Abdulai Abdulai Issah , Kufiah Charles Wese
Published: October 2022

Purpose: This paper examines the speech acts performed in prophecy by Prophets in Ghana.

Methodology: Qualitative data was used comprising two prophesies and two directions of four prophets in the study. Appropriate data for the study has been elicited through audio recording of a T.V broadcasting of Prophecies by some selected prophets. The data obtained has been autographically transcribed and translated into English for easy analysis.

Findings: The results show that speech acts such as assertives, commissives, directives, expressives and declaratives are all performed in prophecies. The study also reveals that the prophets are perceived to be ‘destiny changers’ without them, their ‘clients’ will not have salvation (Quayesi-Amakye, (2013). This explains why these people rely so much on prophets and become inactive and helpless to themselves.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study is creating the awareness of the general public to how end-time prophets employ language to exploit their church members, for that matter the general public. Austin (1969) in his book, ‘How to do Things with Words’ talks about locutionary act, illocutionary force and per illocutionary effect of words on individuals. The study therefore cautions the general public to face the problems of life head on and not the problems of life head on and not to fall prey to these religious charlatans (Quayesi-Amakye (2013).

Published: October 2022

Purpose: Serious complaints from lecturers and students concerning lackadaisical approach to assessment informed the decision of the researchers to examine the influence of assessment practices on business education students’ academic performance in colleges of education in Southwest Nigeria. Two purposes, two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study.

Methodology: The study adopted the descriptive survey research design while the population of the study consisted of 200 business education lecturers and 2000 Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) final year regular students registered for the 2020/2021 academic session. The sample comprised 132 lecturers as well as 322 students. The multi-stage sampling technique incorporating purposive sampling and simple random sampling techniques were used to select the sample for the study. The instruments for data collection Students Academic Performance Proforma (SAPP) coupled with lecturers and students questionnaires titled; Influence of Assessment Practices on Business Education Students’ Academic Performance Questionnaire (IAPBESAPQ). The Cronbach Alpha formula was used to establish the internal consistency reliability coefficients of 0.77 for lecturers’ questionnaire and 0.78 for students’ questionnaire. The data collected were analyzed using frequency tables, mean, standard deviation, t-test statistics and linear regression analysis.

Findings: The study found that, end of semester examination (ESE) (Mean = 4.00, SD = 0.61), written tests (Mean = 3.93, SD = 0.45) classroom exercises (Mean = 3.73, SD = 0.44) and take-home assignment (Mean = 3.60, SD = 0.53) are the most commonly adopted assessment practices by business education lecturers in colleges of education. It was also revealed that assessment practices have significant influence on academic performance (F (1.452) = 1.609, p = 0.205) of business education students in colleges of education.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: Finally, it was recommended among others that business education lecturers in colleges of education should adopt assessment practices that elicit autonomy, engagement, high-order thinking and increased proficiency in skill courses. As a contribution to theory, practice and policy, this study exposed an urgent need for a paradigm shift from traditional assessment practices to competency-based assessment practices which are essential ingredients for survival and advancement in this era of globalization.

Published: October 2022

Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the production system effect on camel milk composition and macro-elements content in Sudan.

Methodology: Sample purchased from camel milk production markets (Albutana- Tumbool, Kordfan-Elobied, and Khartoum-Alsalam market) in 6 replicates.

Findings: There were no difference in moisture, and protein % among camel milk from different area, on the other hand there were significantly different in fat and ash content % with highest values for Khartoum camel milk and lowest values for Kordofan camel milk. Macro-minerals (Na, K, Mg, Ca, and P) content in camel milk were determined and there was different content. Ca, Na, K, Mg and P higher in Khartoum camel milk and lowest content values for Kordofan camel milk. The study was extended to determine soil macro-elements contents in Albutana and Kordofan areas which were fed by grazing system, and ignored soil in Khartoum whereas camels lives in a farm.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Camels produce more milk of high nutritional quality and for a longer period of time than other species in an environment that might be rightly termed as hostile in terms of extreme temperature, drought and lack of pasture, in Sudan camel’s milk constitutes the sole diet of camel herders for considerable periods and they rely completely on camel’s milk for more than month without having drinking water especially during the migratory routes. Camel milk from different areas and production system had different chemical content in fat and ash % and similar in moisture and protein %, within the same season. However, macro-minerals in camel milk increasing by soil macro minerals contents specially on grazing system.

Published: October 2022

The world evidences an immense transformation from pen & paper culture to digital culture, particularly, post covid pandemic. We live in the digitally complex generation. The evolution of digitalization and explosive usage of internet have lead to cyber crimes (e-crimes) and cyber violations. With the increase of ‘Work from Home’ option, women are more prone to serious consequences of cyber attacks and lead to traumatic experiences. The Government of India has started attempting to renovate our nation into digitally enabled and empowered, through its “The Digital India” project. But, is the digitalization completely favourable for our people? The primary aim of the study is to answer this question by creating awareness on cyber crimes and security measures among women and young girls, whom the law looks down and does not recognize properly, even in today’s developed society. An attempt is made to keep them away from any sort harm by cyber usage or exploitations. In the direction to caution women about cyber threats by not hindering digitalization and innovation, the authors have analyzed previous research studies conducted with respect to cyber threats and security space, major cyber crime cases in India, Cyber laws, agencies that deal with cyber security and key initiatives implemented by our Indian government to protect innocent people from cyber threats. Hence, at the end of this study, protective measures and cyber hygiene practices are suggested to make women and young girls become more cautious and reorient their behaviour to make safest use of internet and protect themselves against cyber attacks.

Authors: Maijamaa Bilkisu , Anna Kolade.O Anna
Published: October 2022

A healthy banking system is determined by the amount of money supply which can be monitored through various monetary policy instruments. A lot of study has shown studies from other countries on various monetary policies used with scanty literature as it relates to Nigeria, and this research is aimed at looking at the Nigerian scenario. Method used for this study is empirical on the effect of monetary policy on banking in Nigeria. Time series data from 2004-2019 was used with an autoregressive distributed lag approach and error correction mechanism. The findings from this study are; there is an evidence of significant relationship between the dependent and the explanatory variables with a long-run relationship between credit reserve ratio and money supply on bank loans and advances while other variables such as monetary policy rate (MPR) and liquidity ratio (LQR) are not significant on bank loans and advances in Nigeria. The error correction mechanism reveals the existence of cointegration, stating that there is a long-run relationship among the dependent and the explanatory variables. Structural changes in monetary policy is significant on bank loans hence suggesting a significant effect on bank loans and advances. This research serves as a great relevance to policy makers which implies monetary authorities should review and formulate an efficient policy such as fiscal policy to help boost bank industries in Nigeria

Pada visi pariwisata Indonesia tahun 2005, pariwisata nasional dicanangkan menjadi penghasil devisa utama. Namun pembangunan dan pengembangan kepariwisataan membawa konsekuensi yaitu timbulnya dampak sosial budaya.Peranan pariwisata dalam pembangunan Negara pada garis besarnya berintikan tiga segi, yaitu segi ekonomis,segi sosial, dan segi kebudayaan. Tiga hal yang berpengaruh terhadap kehidupan sosial yang disebabkan dari pariwisata, yaitu: Polarization of The Population, Breakdown of the family dan Development of The Attitude of a Consumption-Oriented Society; Incident of Phenomena of Social Pathalogy. Pengaruh pariwisata terhadap kebudayaan terjadi karena suatu proses akulturasi antara kebudayaan masyarakat dengan kebudayaan para wisatawan. Dari sisi ekonomi, pariwisata merupakan industri multi komponen, tidak dapat dilepaskan dengan sektor ekonomi lain. Pemasukan tidak hanya dari uang yang dibelanjakan, melainkan juga menarik modal asing. Pariwisata adalah usaha padat karya (labour intensive), menciptakan tenaga kerja di sektor lain. Dalam pengembangan kepariwisataan nasional faktor ekonomis sering menjadi pertimbangan utama dari pengambil keputusan untuk mengembangkan potensi kepariwisataan. Pertimbangan ini kadang lebih ditonjolkan dari pada pertimbangan moral dalam artian kemungkinan pariwisata memiliki dampak sosial yang negative.

ABSTRACT

Pneumonia coverage in Indonesia from 2010-to 2014 ranged from 20-to 30%, and from 2015-to 2019 has increased. The increased incidence of pneumonia in toddlers can be caused by various factors, including parental behavior, smoking habits by family members, and the environment around toddlers. So, more research is needed related to several types of factors that trigger pneumonia in children. This meta-analysis study aimsto study risk factors such as exclusive breast milk, family members' smoking behavior, and home occupancy density against the incidence of pneumonia in toddlers. The statistical methods in this study combined 44 selected articles of quantitative research results by looking for effect sizes using JASP software version 0.14.1. Selected papers sourced from Google Scholar, Science Direct and Pubmed are sorted according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the number of family members who smoked increased the odds 2,585 times greater for pneumonia in toddlers, exclusive breast milk increased the odds 1,934 times greater, and occupancy density increased the chances by 1,934 times greater. The study concluded that all variables increase the likelihood of pneumonia in toddlers, so it is necessary to promote and counsel about exclusive breast milk coverage, reduce the smoking behavior of family members, and pay attention to home occupancy density and home sanitation.

Published: October 2022

The aim of this study was to determine the presence of chronic disease and factors affecting the duration of death in deaths due to the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this retrospective observational study, the files of 651 patients who were reported to have died due to COVID-19 in the intensive care unit of Sivas Numune Hospital between 11.03.2020 and 31.12.2020 were reviewed. The patients' age, gender, COVID-19 diagnosis date, death date, and chronic disease presence were examined. Of those who died, 601 (92.3%) were aged 60 and over, and 383 (58.8%) were male. 96.8% (630 people) of the deceased had at least one chronic disease. The most common chronic disease accompanying deaths was hypertension (HT) (82.6%). Comorbid chronic diseases had a higher incidence in deaths aged 60 years and over. Coronary artery disease (CAD) was more common in deaths in male and asthma in deaths in female. The median time interval between the COVID-19 diagnosis date and the death date was 10 days and did not differ by age groups, gender, or at least one chronic disease presence. Being female shortened the duration of death by 1.5 times, while having Alzheimer's disease shortened the duration of death by 4.9 times. To prevent deaths caused by COVID-19, it may be recommended to closely monitor patients with some characteristics (chronic disease, advanced age, and male gender) and to increase protection measures especially for these patients.

Aksaray Malaklısı Türkiye’nin yerli genetik kaynaklarından olan bir köpek ırkıdır. Bu çalışmada Sivas ilinde yetiştirilen Aksaray Malaklısının duyma ve işitmesine yönelik mevcut durumun ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Sivas il merkezi ve Kangal ilçesindeki 3 işletmede bulunan toplam 34 adet Aksaray Malaklısı çoban köpeğinde Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response (BAER) testi ile sağırlık tarama işlemi gerçekleştirilmiş ve 20, 40, 60 ve 80 desibeller (dB) yönünden duyma eşikleri elde edilmiştir. Daha sonra köpekler hiçbir ayrıma tabi tutulmadan tek grup olacak şekilde genel, cinsiyet, kulağı kesik olup olmaması ve yaş aralığına göre gruplandırılmış ve her iki kulağa ait dalga boyları yönünden karşılaştırılmaları da yapılmıştır. Grup karşılaştırılmalarında genel grubunda bağımsız gruplarda t-testi, cinsiyet ve kulağın kesik olup olmaması durumuna göre oluşturulan gruplarda Mann Whitney U testi ve yaş grubunda ise Kruskal-Wallis testi uygulanmıştır. Tüm istatistiksel analizler SPSS v.25 paket programında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, toplam 2 hayvanda tek taraflı (sol taraf) sağırlığın bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Grupların karşılaştırılması sonucunda ise hiçbir grupta ve hiçbir dalga boyutunda istatistiksel olarak önemlilik tespit edilememiştir (P>0.05). Bu çalışmada farklı olarak yaş gruplarında yaş ilerledikçe duyma duyusunda azalma olmadığı, cinsiyetler arasında da farklılık olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışma Aksaray Malaklısı çoban köpeklerinde sağırlık taramasının yapıldığı ilk çalışma olma özelliğine sahiptir. Çalışma başta Aksaray Malaklısının yetiştirildiği Aksaray ilindeki yetiştirici elindeki hayvanları da içerecek şekilde genişletilmesi gerekmektedir.
