Authors: Cheng Sendi , Kiong Wong Swee , Khalid Zanudin
Published: September 2024

This paper studies the factors influencing the training willingness of high-quality farmers, which is of great significance to improve the training efficiency. Through face-to-face interviews with 18 farmer trainees and online surveys of 514 farmer trainees, It was found that training content, training service and farmers' perception of training policy had significant impact on training willingness. However, demographic factors such as gender, age, education level, Agricultural post and previous farm income had insignificance on training intention. On this basis, countermeasures and suggestions were put forward from three aspects to improve the training willingness of high-quality farmers. Through pre-training demand survey, precise training content was proposed. Optimizing the training service and improving the satisfaction of training service, and improving policies and systems to protect the interests of farmers participating in training can be meaningful to enhance the internal motivation of farmers to actively participate in education and training.

Authors: Morrar Najiba , Abdul Majeed Ayman , Qassrawi Rania
Published: September 2024

In the post-COVID-19 era, higher education institutions worldwide are increasingly adopting a blend of online and face-to-face teaching. The pandemic-induced shift to remote learning has prompted concerns about the inclusivity of online education compared to traditional classroom settings. This study aimed to evaluate the principles of inclusive education across both modalities, drawing on the experiences of (85) students from Birzeit University during the second semester of the 2022-2023 academic year. Three courses were examined: Scientific Research Methodology, Applied Action Research in Inclusive Education and Special Education, and Advanced English Language. Following a qualitative approach and descriptive analysis, the study collected data through students' reflective journals, in which they described their experiences with both teaching modes. The analysis was guided by UNESCO's 2017 inclusive education framework categorized into four domains: diversity and alignment in teaching methods, active participation and interaction, accessibility of educational materials and equity and justice. Findings indicated that although students generally perceived face-to-face teaching as more inclusive, there are potential benefits of a blended approach were also acknowledged, suggesting that combining online and face-to-face methods could enhance inclusivity. The study recommended a blended teaching approach to improve accessibility and flexibility, providing options that accommodate students' diverse needs, preferences and impairments. Additionally, it emphasized the importance of equitable access to technology and the internet to overcome barriers in hybrid learning, ensuring that no student is left behind.

Published: September 2024

The article aims to clarify the actual essence of the system of actors ensuring national security of Ukraine. To achieve the goal of the research, a complex of general and specific methods of scientific knowledge is used (dialectical, abstraction, analysis and generalization, documentary analysis, summarization). It is argued that this system is not a set of entities, because the set of elements does not form a system since it is not characterized by the degree of interaction of its components, which leads to the appearance of a qualitatively new integrity – the form of expression of the structure which actually forms the system. Based on the analysis of scientific literature, it is identified that during the post-Soviet period of the development of the doctrine of national security and its provision, the essence of the complex of actors ensuring national security was understood as a set of these entities. In the current development of these doctrines, this complex is interpreted as a system. The modern understanding of national security and its provision indicates that certain foundations (principles of responsibility, patriotism, and national solidarity) impose requirements extending to a wide range of subjects, encompassing both public service agencies and civil society actors. Furthermore, it creates conditions for holistic interaction between different types of subjects, forming a subsystem of the national security system from these entities. The complex of actors ensuring national security of Ukraine appears as a system because it has its key features.

Financial inclusion in Morocco: the impact of financial development, financial innovation and economic growth
Authors: El Haddad Salim , Idrissi Abdelkader , Habachi Mohamed
Published: September 2024

The relationship between financial inclusion, social development, particularly poverty reduction, financial innovation and economic growth has been endorsed by a number of studies. Indeed, the development policies pursued by countries such as Morocco often define financial inclusion, growth, financial development, financial innovation, monetary policy and investment as fields of action for economic and social development. The aim of this study is to assess this choice by examining the short- and long-term relationship between financial inclusion, financial development, financial innovation, growth, inflation and the interest rate. Using the ARDL (AutoRegressive Distributed Lag) model and the Granger causality test, the results show the positive short- and long-term effect of financial development and financial innovation on financial inclusion, and the positive short- and negative long-term effect of economic growth on financial inclusion. The inflation and the interest rate that represents monetary policy influence financial inclusion in the short and long term positively and negatively respectively. In terms of causality, the granger test shows that economic growth has an effect on inclusion in only one direction and that financial inclusion has an effect on financial development in only one direction. On the other hand, innovation, inflation and the interest rate have a bidirectional relationship with financial inclusion.
Influence of torque flow, pressure on the performance of a fire pump at the gas complex level
Authors: Benmoussa Moufida , Inel Fouad
Published: September 2024

In recent years, motor pumps have played an increasingly important role in transferring fluids by increasing pressure, such as in power plants, hydrocarbon complexes and oil companies. Although these companies have advantages, their lack of maintenance can negatively impact their production, resulting in wasted costs and time, as well as putting human lives at risk. Restoration and modernization with improper maintenance or wrong policies can lead to critical and dangerous situations for equipment, the environment and people. And in this sense, we will be interested in the problem of protection against a fire in a gas installation; with the aim of carrying out a performance test of the electric pump which aims to evaluate the performance of the pump of the firefighting network of the gas complex. To achieve our objective according to the NFPA 20 Standard we have the following approach:

Verification of measuring instruments.
Installation of an ultrasonic flow meter.
Application of the performance test on the fire pump.
Controls flow according to pressure.
Projection of the results obtained on the manufacturer's performance curve.
The comparison between the manufacturer's performance curve and the performance curve obtained.
Analysis of the results obtained.

Finally, to monitor pump performance, we recommend the immediate installation of a permanent flow meter at the pump discharge level and avoid any type of risk.
Transferring meaning in a context of multilingual lexicology and terminology
Authors: Martial AKPACA Servais
Published: September 2024

This paper aims to show that there is no perfect fit between the dictionary definition of a term and the various uses it is put to in different contexts, especially in a multilingual perspective. When a term is used repeatedly in various contexts, the concept it designates becomes wider and wider because its conceptual traits keep increasing. As a result, the definitions of the concepts that we find in dictionaries are not comprehensive. The concepts change with time whereas the terms that designate them do not change. Translating a term into a foreign language also widens up its lexical field because several denominations are sometimes used in the target language to account for a single SL term. The method used in this research is qualitative. It starts from the terms to get to the concepts and adopts a semasiological and cognitive approach. In specialised translation, the information on a particular term is contained in the texts in which it is used and these (texts) are the sole repositories of its meaning. One of the main findings of this research is that the interpretation of terms in various contexts leads to new definitions that are sometimes wider than the dictionary definitions. This research has also found that concepts are likely to change because the realities they refer to, change.

Published: September 2024

The production of wind energy requires knowledge of certain wind speeds and directions. Several tools are used for this purpose to characterize the wind power, including the Weibull distribution function with two parameters, shape factor k, and the scale factor c. In this paper six methods Graphical Method (GP), Empirical Method of Justus (EMJ), Empirical Method of Lysen (EML), Energy Pattern Factor (EPF), Maximum Likelihood (ML), and Moroccan Method (MMa) are used to estimate Weibull distribution parameters to evaluate the wind potential an its power density. Twelve sites in West African sub-region such as Abuja, Accra Kotoka, Bamako Senou, Conakry Gbessia, Cotonou Cadjehoun, Kano Mallam Aminu, Lagos Ikeja, Lome Tokoin, Niamey, Niamtougou, Ouagadougou, Tambacounda were selected as case studies. For each selected site, hourly wind speed data collected at 10 m height for the twelve years from January 2011 to December 2023 are used. The evaluations of each method were carried out every month and statistical criteria to provide a more complete analysis. The results show that the EPF, EMJ, EML, and ML provide highly desirable better performance while the GP and MMa showed poor performance for all stations. For all sites, the EPF was recognized as the most appropriate method except for the Lagos site where the EMJ ranks first on the others. The methods that ranked second after EPF varied among the sites.

Authors: Karapici Valbona , Matraku (Dervishi) Doriana , Gjipali Arsena
Published: September 2024

Albania represents the case of a developing country with a volatile demand for power facing an unstable domestic supply, especially during the last decade. Understanding future patterns of electricity usage is crucial in various planning contexts, the most important of which would be security of supply. In this framework, acknowledging the future national demand for electricity is needed for electricity providers for them to plan the sufficient and security of electricity supply. The aim of this paper is electricity demand modelling and forecasting in Albania. The model developed for the determinants of electricity demand for Albania allows understanding of the patterns of consumption behaviour. The main demand drivers of the electric consumption considered here are macroeconomic and demographic factors. The current work empirically estimates that the main determinants of electricity consumption in Albania for the period 1990-2014 are GDP, population and remittances. Results coefficients are then used to forecast electricity consumption for the period 2015-2030. We believe that the main contribution of the proposed estimation forecasts would be for correctly informing policy makers regarding electricity demand patterns in Albania and in forming expectations on a vital sector such as electricity.

English-to-Hindi translation divergence study of English phrasal verbs
Authors: Kumar Pursotam , Kumar Thakur Anil
Published: September 2024

English phrasal verbs pose complex semantic interpretations and cause significant problems in their translation into the target language. The paper selects some frequent and highly polysemous English phrasal verbs listed with 10 or more senses in the English WordNet, collects sample English sentences from the British National Corpus and examines their Hindi translation equivalents in terms of the morpho-syntactic structure of Hindi verbs and the representation of semantic information. This study attempts to present the semantic equivalence in rendering the identical semantics in the verbal system of both languages under consideration. The study found that the most frequent and common way of realising the concepts represented by English phrasal verbs in Hindi is by incorporating the compound verb constructions in the Hindi language. Besides that, we observe multiple mapping patterns of English phrasal verbs in Hindi, including the simple Hindi verb (v), compound verb (v1-v2), and conjunct verb (noun/adjective/adverb-verb) constructions.

Published: September 2024

With the rapid development of the social economy, customers have become the most critical resources of companies, and many companies have taken analytical customer relationship management (CRM) as the magic weapon to improve their core competitiveness. As the main driving force of global economic growth, China currently occupies an essential position in the worldwide economy. Using CiteSpace information visualization software, this paper quantitatively analyzed the relevant research of 98 Web of Science (WoS) studies and 616 Chinese papers in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) from 2003 to 2023 regarding analytical CRM in China. The research results of analytical CRM in China draw a knowledge mapping to sort out the annual publication volume, topic, publishing institution, and keyword. It was found that Chinese scholars have focused on analytical CRM in China during the last 20 years, and it entered a relatively rapid growth period in 2013, forming a relatively complete body of knowledge. However, the overall number of publications in WoS is low, and the research field is narrow. According to the data, foreign scholars' research has certain limitations, primarily focusing on applying concepts in information technology. The layout between different research topics is scattered and the correlation is low. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis to point out the direction for researchers in the area of analytical CRM to engage in related research, provide data reference, and help to predict the future trend of this research. Future research should fully use big data and information technology and focus on analytical CRM in the network era to help Chinese companies improve their competitiveness.

Debt to fececam and profitability of agricultural farms in benin
Authors: AIFA Emile
Published: September 2024

In Benin where microfinance as a community development tool has experienced rapid emergence in recent decades, microcredit is seen as the best financial alternative to allow the poorest to access capital through support and support for local structures . It is thanks to this situation that the Fécécam network (Fédération des Caisses d'Epargne et de Crédit Agricole Mutuel), the oldest and the most important in terms of membership at the national level, was restructured to allow several farms farmers to benefit from microcredits. But, after a few years of activities with this institution , several farmers suffered enormous losses, thus causing unpaid bills in the network's portfolio . The main objective of this study is to report on the factors which determine the profitability of said microcredit on farms in Benin, even if it means facilitating the repayment of microcredits received . Thus, from samples constituted for the sectors: cotton, soya, corn and cassava, we have shown, using the generalized method of moments, that debt negatively affects the profitability of most sectors, at the same time, linear and non-linear manner. To this end, in order to ensure the effectiveness of the credits obtained, it is necessary to review the structure of the credits, their granting procedures and the amounts allocated, while ensuring that the tax charges are not very high.

Authors: Yassine HILMI , Zahra HAJRIOUI , KEZAZY Hamza EL
Published: September 2024

The ultimate objective of this paper is to examine the impact of the adoption of IPSAS in Morocco on the production of accounting and financial information, in order to inform decision-making processes. IPSAS ushered in a global revolution in public accounting reforms, and Morocco is among the nations that have adopted these standards, starting their implementation several years ago. The integration of IPSAS mobilises a theoretical and conceptual framework encompassing the theories and New Public Management (NPM), as well as the theory of public value. The aim is to harmonise accounting practices with global standards, thereby enhancing the transparency, comparability and credibility of financial information. However, the implementation of IPSAS in Moroccan institutions raises a number of issues and challenges, particularly in terms of adapting systems, training staff and managing costs. To deepen our understanding of this topic, we conducted a bibliometric analysis using the VOSviewer tool. This analysis enabled us to identify influential authors, collaborative networks, and the main and emerging themes in IPSAS research. The results show that the implementation of IPSAS helps to ensure good quality and transparency in public sector financial reporting, providing better information for financial management, accountability and decision making. IPSAS, as international accounting standards specific to the public sector, aim to improve the quality of financial reporting by public entities, thereby enabling more reliable resource allocation decisions and contributing to improved financial transparency and accountability.

Published: September 2024

Based on the experience of isostoichiometric and isostructural oxides production using solar energy, the prospects for synthesizing of Bi/Pb superconducting ceramics are shown. The principle of technology in the Large Solar Furnace (Parkent), the influence of gradient conditions on the formation of the oriented structure of crystallites-nuclei, and the connection of the innate properties of precursors with the lamellar morphology and phase composition of massive ceramics are described. The homophase composition of Bi/Pb ceramics was determined. Graphs of resistance and voltage of BSCCO in the temperature range 80-320K are presented. Anomalous of resistance and magnetic susceptibility in bismuth cuprates synthesized by solar energy were observed. Experimental graphs in resistance and magnetic susceptibility changes represent dependencies characteristic of the potential superconducting transitions. The manifestation of the Meissner effect at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure and daylight, and under the influence of light is shown. The properties of Bi/Pb ceramics are explained by the connection with the innate properties of precursors obtained by concentrated solar energy.
Legal analysis of derivative transactions in islamic economics
Authors: Widjaja Gunawan
Published: September 2024

The legal position regarding derivative transactions in Islamic economic practices has attracted significant attention from Islamic financial institutions such as AAOIFI and DSN-MUI. Derivative instruments can be incorporated into the sharia framework as long as they fulfil the core principles of sharia such as being free from elements of riba (interest), gharar (uncertainty), and maysir (gambling). These bodies have issued guidelines and fatwas such as the DSN-MUI fatwa No. 96/DSN-MUI/IV/2015, which permits the use of derivatives for hedging purposes under a number of strict requirements that ensure transparency and fairness and emphasizes that transactions are based on real needs and not speculation. However, implementing these legal guidelines on the ground faces various challenges. Key challenges include correctly applying derivative instruments so that they do not turn into prohibited tools of malicious speculation. Strict supervision and audit systems are needed to ensure compliance with Shariah principles on an ongoing basis, as well as ensuring transparency in the execution of transactions. In addition, in-depth training and education for Islamic finance practitioners is essential to support proper and effective implementation.

The article considers principles of military personnel’ social protection in Ukraine, USA, Australia, and New Zealand in a comparative perspective. The framework used for the analysis is the dilemma of two opposing concepts of countries’ development and security – ‘warfare state’ and ‘welfare state’. The detrimental effect of skewing towards warfare state, manifested in skyrocketing growth of military field expenditures, is shown, backed up with an array of statistical data, scholars’ publications and expert analytics. It is demonstrated that the arising and essence of this opposition is rooted in the growing trends of securitization throughout the world, and detrimental effects of over-securitization on the overall welfare of country are justified. It is emphasized that for Ukraine, these concerns are particularly important, especially in the current conditions of war and the need, on the one hand, to effectively protect the country from aggression and on the other hand, enable economic and social resilience.
Professional Ethics in the Commodity Economy

Published: September 2024

Research on professional ethics in the conditions of commodity economy aims to clarify the systematic transformation of natural functions into social tasks, thereby clarifying the moral life governed by standards and measured by money; profession is the object of life. The content of the article uses the methodology of humanistic and social philosophy, and combines qualitative methods in the study of moral life, in which humans are both the subject and the object of morality. The result has clarified the object of morality, which is the truth of life. However, the truth of life is standardized and measured by money, causing the truth to be distorted. Profession is joy, the mission of life, the truth, creativity, and freedom in profession, but working for money is suffering; that is, forced labor. The conclusion is that the right to own life in all species is the instinct of survival. Property rights make each individual a product of the family, religion, state, economic unit, and professional organization. Standards are the measure of occupation, and social status in the division of labor becomes the appropriation of money from each other, giving rise to class morality. The struggle is not to abolish humans but to abolish everything that is not human for sustainable development in a commodity economy.

Tribulaciones de un psicólogo escolar
Authors: Fuentes Cano Irene
Published: September 2024

Para nosotros los psicólogos escolares que trabajamos -los que trabajamos- a salto de mata en un colegio de monjas, una guardería y un colegio público de polígono -póngase por caso- el apellido de (psicólogo) educativo nos viene grande. También le viene grande a los que, a golpe de camino, configuran el equipo municipal com- partido de tres o cuatro pueblos distantes entre sí cuarenta o cincuenta kilómetros. Y es que pertenecemos a otra clase de psicólogos, tal vez la clase B, los vulgares, los poco importantes, por eso, lo de educativo queda para los doctores que son los que hacen algo llamado psicología de la educación y que, generalmente, poco tiene que ver con la profesión de psicólogo escolar.
Nuestra historia como la de casi todos los colegas es dura. Salimos de la Universidad hace dos, tres, tal vez cuatro años y nunca más volvimos a interesarnos por ella ni siquiera por su salud, por lo que, a la fecha, es posible que haya muerto de muerte natural y ni siquiera nos hayamos enterado. No manejamos el Psychological Abstract ni nos vamos a doctorar nunca: Eso sí, cuando cae en nuestras manos alguna revistilla española sobre el tema la exprimimos ávidamente, deseosos de conocer cómo hacen otros compañeros su trabajo diario y cómo son sus experiencias.
