The Origin of Arabic Lexicography: Its Emergence and Evolution
Authors: Hanifah Niken Nur
Published: January 2022

This study aims to identify and describe 1) the history of the emergence and evolution of Arabic lexicography, 2) the implications of Arabic lexicography for learning Arabic. This research is a historical study using a qualitative approach with library research methods and documentation techniques. The data analysis used in this research is descriptive qualitative analysis. The results of the analysis show that 1) the emergence of al fikr al mu'jamiy was based on the difficulty of Arabs in understanding the meanings contained in the Qur'an which was named as gha>ri>bu al Quran, during this evolution period of Arabic lexicography gave an impact against the emergence of variations of the Arabic lexicon and entry systems with its characteristics one each other. This variety is the pure thought and innovation by lexicologists at that time in order to find the most appropriate method and system to codify Arabic vocabulary to make the Arabic lexicon provide an umbrella that can protect the purity and sustainability of the Arabic language from the challenges, 2) Arabic lexicography has a big impact in learning Arabic in the fields of morphology, syntax, and semantics which are language subsystems.

DYADIC ANALYSES OF THEDIVISION OF DOMESTIC LABOR:COMPETENCES,PREFERENCES AND MEN’S GOODWILL
Authors: Nisic Natascha , Trübner Miriam
Published: January 2022

The persistence of a distinctly gendered division of domestic labor in Western societies remains puzzling. Beyond standard economic and normative explanations, more recent approaches emphasize affective, cognitive, and incorporated aspects of housework and the production, reproduction, and negotiation of gendered expectations via social interactions. However, the relevant indicators for these more implicit mechanisms are not routinely included in social surveys. Based on a unique set of items and a representative sample of heterosexual couples (N=1,396) from pairfam data (German Family Panel) (wave 10), we contribute to this research by analyzing the mutual effects of both partners’ enjoyment, quality standards, and reciprocally perceived competencies on the division of domestic labor. An actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) is applied, which is adequate methodologically to model the partner dyad. Both an actor’s own and their partner’s assessments of competences and preferences – and particularly men’s attributes and perceptions – prove to be powerful and statistically significant predictors of the division of domestic labor. The results contribute quantitative evidence on processes of doing and undoing gender in context.

Authors: Afriyie Ocran Akua , Enimil Anthony , Plange-Rhule Gyikua , Boakye-Yiadom Adwoa Pokuaa , Brobby Naana Wireko , Adjei Stella Barniie
Published: January 2022

Background

Each year, approximately 15 million babies are born too early. Mortality associated with preterm birth is the highest contributor to under five mortality globally.

At Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), preterm birth remains the leading cause of admission to the Mother and Baby Unit (MBU) and is the highest contributor to neonatal mortality.

Objectives

To determine the precipitating factors for preterm birth at KATH and to evaluate factors that influence the outcome of preterm babies admitted to the MBU.

Methods

A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 80 babies delivered before 33 weeks gestation who were admitted to the MBU between January and March, 2021.Babies were selected prospectively by simple random sampling and their birth weight, gender, initial temperature, precipitating factors for delivery, admission and discharge/death dates were recorded on a case-record form and analysed using excel version 2016.

Results

Among the 80 cases studied, 56% were males, 54% were born vaginally and 42% were referred. Their gestational ages ranged from 25 to 32weeks (average 29 weeks). Their mean birth weight was 1.12kg (range 0.6kg to 1.9kg). Eighty-four percent of recruits had temperatures below 36.50C.Premature rupture of membranes (63%) was the leading precipitating factor and hypertensive disorders was associated with the highest mortality (55%).

Conclusions

The precipitating factors for preterm birth can be predominantly attributed to maternal infections therefore a comprehensive antenatal care with active screening and management of maternal infections can lead to a decline in preterm birth and its complications.

Majority of babies were hypothermic on admission. The deleterious effect of hypothermia on the preterm infant has been widely studied. Robust interventions must be put in place especially during transfer of preterm infants to maintain their temperatures within the normal range.

These can lead to improved outcomes which will contribute favourably to achieving the third sustainable development goal.
The Impacts of Climate Change on Road Traffic Accidents in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Islam Mazharul , Alharthi Majed , Alam Md. Mahmudul
Published: January 2022

The potential costs of road traffic accidents (RTAs) to society are immense. Yet, no study has attempted to examine the impact of climate change on RTAs in Saudi Arabia, though RTA-leading deaths are very high, and the occurrence of climatic events is very frequent. Therefore, this study aims to assess the impact of climate change on RTAs in Saudi Arabia and to recommend some climate change mitigation and adaptation policies to make roads safe for all. This study employed annual data from 13 regions of Saudi Arabia, from 2003 to 2013. The data were analyzed on the basis of panel regression models—fixed effect, random effect, and the pooled ordinary least square. The findings show that temperature, rainfall, sandstorms, and number of vehicles were statistically and significantly responsible for RTAs in Saudi Arabia in the study period. This study also found that RTAs both inside and outside cities significantly caused injuries, but only RTAs inside cities significantly caused death. Furthermore, the death from RTAs injuries was found to be statistically significant only for motor vehicle accidents. The findings will assist policymakers in taking the right courses of action to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change through understanding climate influence on RTAs.
Global Population Stabilization Policy and Declining Work-Age Population: A Threat to Global Economic Sustainability
Authors: Alam Md. Mahmudul , Murad Wahid , Molla Rafiqul Islam , Rahman Khandaker Mizanur , Khondaker Taslima Rahman
Published: January 2022

Faced with an exponentially growing world population, what is required is a population stabilization policy to control the global fertility rates. This has implications for the working-age population in the future, and lead to a serious economic crisis. It is envisaged that by the year 2050 the work-age population will have seriously declined but is still expected to look after an increasing dependent population. This paper argues that to maintain sustainable economic growth, and to support the associated technological advances in the future there will be demand for a larger labor force. It notes that the industrialized countries are now managing with migrant populations drawn mostly from high fertility but low-income countries. In the global context this is only a zero-sum game without increasing the stock of the world’s actual total labor force. Therefore, the world population needs to increase to meet the growing demand for a larger labor force in order to achieve economic sustainability. Since the earth’s population carrying capacity largely depends on advanced technology functioning well, to support society’s lifestyle expectations, the world should not defer planned population growth.

Published: January 2022

This research investigates the health impacts and access to health services by children who are engaged in waste collection in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. The relevant qualitative data were collected through expert interviews and personal observations, while quantitative data were gathered through a face-to-face questionnaire survey given to 50 street children who collected waste at the landfill site located in Dhaka city’s Matuail area. The results indicate that 94% of these children have suffered from many health problems, such as fever and fatigue due to tiredness, dizziness, and vomiting. Consequently, a significant portion of their daily income is spent on medical treatment. This study suggests that the waste collection system must integrate modern technological, health and environmental resources so that: firstly, they do not harm waste collectors; and secondly, rehabilitate the street children and give them better access to acceptable basic amenities. This is a priority the city authorities.
Towards Empowering Zakat Recipients: An Assessment on Effectiveness of Zakat Institutions from the Zakat Recipients’ Perspective
Authors: Wahab Norazlina Abd , Alam Md. Mahmudul , Haq Ashraf Al
Published: January 2022

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of zakat institutions from the zakat recipients’ perspective. Researchers opine that empowering is a matter of utmost importance in order to ensure recipients are self-sufficient, self-reliant and can withstand any hardship come it may. Therefore the zakat authorities need to safeguard a robust empowerment regime and for that reason the assessment of that performance may require a newer dimensional approach where ‘the recipients’ who are the main stakeholders do evaluate the contributory performative assessment through the main four perspectives as enshrined by the Balanced Scorecard technique which include financial effectiveness, customer effectiveness, internal effectiveness and learning & growth effectiveness. Hence, the goal is to investigate the effectiveness of zakat institutions of Kedah, Malaysia in particular. A total of 427 responses received, where Partial Least Squares approach was employed as the main data analysis of this study. The research identified that all the four components are interlinked and need a coherent addressing in terms of zakat recipients’ upliftment. The recipients did put emphasis on the priority of the financial effectiveness, but in a non-profit environment where the customer effectiveness is vital, may require the service enhancement along with putting the emphasis on learning and making certain systematic rejuvenation of the processes, as well as the planned financial decision to make effects conducive to empowerment of the recipients.

Published: January 2022

The application of good governance within governance prerequisite that cannot be left out is the participation of the community in public policy. The main prerequisites were when the Government implemented the autonomous region with the principle of decentralization, community participation. It involves all aspects of the implementation of the development in areas starting from planning to supervision. Participatory governance is governance putting citizens or non-government as an individual or organization as a viable social stakeholder in making public policy that has just dominated the Government. Model of participatory governance policy in the primary health services is eligible to be developed by optimizing and strengthening cooperation intersectional, increasing the motivation of health workers as well as eliminating social and cultural barriers in the community.
Building Integrity in the Defence Sector of Sub-Sahara African States: The Case for Resilient National Defence Industrial Bases
Authors: Oyosoro Felix Idongesit
Published: January 2022

Lack of integrity and transparency are noticed in all national defence systems in one form or the other. The Government Integrity Index of Transparency International UK reveals that the corruption risk index in the defence sector of sub-Sahara African states is either high (Band D), very high (Band E), or Critical (Band F). This reveals that the African continent is a high-risk zone of corruption in the defence sector. Examining two case studies of arms scandal (in Niger and Nigeria), this paper advocates that arms procurement is the major window through which funds embezzlement and corruption in the defence sector thrives. We argue that the absence of resilient Defence Industrial Bases in the continent creates room for an enormous dependency on the procurement of foreign arms. We, therefore, conclude by encouraging sub-Sahara African states to pursue defence industrialisation. We further outline the basic characteristics of a resilient Defence Industrial Base as a criterion for the reduction, to its barest minimum, of corruption in the Defence Sector of Sub-Saharan Africa.

Authors: Cheng Yuanyuan
Published: January 2022

Background: COVID-19 on-site prevention and control refers to the large-scale crowd vaccination and nucleic acid testing activities organized for the prevention and control of COVID-19. Due to factors such as gathering of people and disorganization, there are risk of cross-infection of COVID-19 at the event site. Methods: The organizational structure, characteristics, implementation process and system advantages of the COVID-19 on-site prevention and control information system were introduced, and the application basis and problems of the COVID-19 on-site prevention and control information system were discussed. Results: The COVID-19 on-site prevention and control information system is standardized, specialized, intelligent, and easy to replicate, it can solve problems such as the lack of experience in community prevention and control, the problem of prolonged crowd gathering and cross-infection, the problem of low manual writing efficiency, and the psychological problem of individual and group anxiety. Conclusions: The omission of the important element of on-site prevention and control informatization in the prevention and control strategy has led to the lack of application of COVID-19 prevention and control information system, which has become the short board of COVID-19 on-site prevention and control. The informatization should be paid to attention and the use of COVID-19 prevention and control information system in COVID-19 field prevention and control to make up for the shortcomings of epidemic prevention and control.

Published: January 2022

Shared-death-experiences (SDEs) and after-death-communication-experiences (ADCEs) are non-ordinary mental experiences related to the death of a known or unknown person. These experiences were investigated by surveying four samples with different cultural backgrounds: Italian, Mexican, Brazilian and Taiwanese people. One-hundred-twenty-one participants reported 146 experiences of this type.Among the main characteristics of these experiences, visual, visual-auditory and feeling experiences, which comprised 74% of all experiences, were experienced both in the dream state and a normal state of consciousness. Furthermore, most of these experiences were lived before (47.3%) or after (39%) the death of the person in relationship with the participants.More importantly, these experiences influenced the participants’ death interpretation favoring the belief that death affects only the body, but the consciousness of the deceased persons survives in another reality and sometimes can communicate with parents and friends still alive in this reality. No substantial differences were observed among the different subsamples.As to the origin of SDEs/ADCEs, we discuss that whereas for most of them, in particular those lived after the death of a relative or a friend, we can assume hallucinatory characteristics triggered by emotional needs, for others, for example those related to unknown individuals and/or those experienced before the death of the person still in good health, it is not possible to exclude their anomalous connections and a real encounter with a deceased person.

Published: January 2022

We describe the theoretical and methodological contributions of a cultural and developmental approach to the study of religious belief and behavior. We focus on how the study of religious development can provide a foothold into answering some key questions in developmental science: What is belief? What is culture? What is the nature of human development? Throughout the chapter, we provide examples of methodological innovations that have emerged over the course of the first year of a global, collaborative research project into the development of religious beliefs and behaviors.
Power and Sociability
Authors: Krueger Joachim Israel , Grüning David Joachim , Sundar Tanushri
Published: January 2022

Social life unfolds with tension between power and sociability. As both, the need of power and the need of sociability, are crucial to interpersonal transactions, the person faces a dilemma. The satisfaction of one need limits the satisfaction of the other. We approach this dilemma by first reviewing two seemingly contrary biases in social perception: self-enhancement and social projection, which are respectively associated with power and sociability needs. We then discuss the ultimatum game, which puts the mandates of power and sociability into direct conflict. Data suggest that observers are sensitive to both material and social interests when judging players’ character. We then introduce a general power game, describe it with the theory of moves, and review observer-judgment data. We conclude with an exploration of how individuals might incorporate reputational concerns into their social decision-making and speculate about how the power-sociability dilemma can be transcended if it cannot be solved.
Parent-Child Nonverbal Engagement During Read Versus Sung Book-Sharing in Preschoolers with and without ASD
Authors: Liu Talia , Schultz Benjamin G. , Dai Danielle , Liu Christina , Lense Miriam D
Published: January 2022

Providing natural opportunities that scaffold interpersonal engagement is important for supporting social interactions for young children with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Musical activities are often motivating, familiar, and predictable, and may support both children and their interaction partners by providing opportunities for shared social engagement. We assessed multiple facets of nonverbal social engagement – child and caregiver visual attention and interpersonal movement coordination – during musical (song) and non-musical (picture) book-sharing contexts in caregiver-child dyads of preschoolers with (n = 13) and without (n = 16) ASD. Overall, children with ASD demonstrated reduced visual attention during the book sharing activity, as well as reduced movement coordination with their caregivers, compared to children with typical development. Children in both diagnostic groups, as well as caregivers, demonstrated greater visual attention (gaze toward the activity and/or social partner) during song books compared to picture books. Visual attention behavior was correlated between children and caregivers in the ASD group but only in the song book condition. Findings highlight the importance of considering how musical contexts impact the behavior of both partners in the interaction. Musical activities may support social engagement by modulating the behavior of both children and caregivers.

Authors: Pereira-Doel Pablo , Font Xavier , Wyles Kayleigh , Pereira-Moliner Jorge
Published: January 2022

This study inductively applies the Feedback Intervention Theory by empirically demonstrating the effectiveness of continuous, real-time eco-feedback and its interaction with motivational factors in modifying showering behavior. We conducted a covert true experiment across six tourist accommodations in Denmark, Spain, and the UK, where we deployed smart technology, in the form of a timer to provide the eco-feedback, coupled with persuasive messages. Data from over 17,500 showers showed that continuous, real-time eco-feedback reduced water runtime by 25.79% (CI = 8.24%; 39.98%). When the eco-feedback was paired with the most effective message—priming pro-environmental values and requiring a high effort to comply—water run-time was reduced by 23.55% (CI = 17.53%; 29.13%). The study’s robust experimental design, and its emphasis on actual behavior measurement, highlight the potential of smart technology to facilitate resource conservation.
Trust in the time of coronavirus: longitudinal evidence from the United States
Authors: Aassve Arnstein , Capezzone Tommaso , Cavalli Nicolo' , Conzo Pierluigi , Peng Chen
Published: January 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed most countries to an unexpected crisis, with unclear consequences for citizens’ trust in others and in public authorities. This study shed lights on how social and political trust changed during the pandemic. We conducted a longitudinal survey in the US of about 1000 respondents at three points in time during the pandemic. We elicited respondents’ trust towards other people and towards different institutional authorities, along with attribution of responsibility for the current situation. Results show that institutional trust fell, while interpersonal trust slightly increased, especially during the peak of the first pandemic wave. This dynamic was mainly driven by Republicans, whose institutional trust decreased, especially when exposed to COVID-19, along with growth in social trust. Considering that Republicans attributed, at the time, more responsibilities to their political leader, we argue that institutional trust was crowded out by social trust. Disappointed voters felt unprotected by institutions and looked for support elsewhere in society. Consistent with this, though, in the reverse direction, experimental results from the third wave show that Republicans increased institutional trust. However, social trust fell when primed with positive information about the pandemic. Overall, these findings suggest that societal shocks may induce people to exchange formal with informal institutions as a coping strategy, with social and political trust moving in opposite directions.
Awareness and Initiatives on Language Policy in Local Governments
Authors: Kandel Basanta
Published: January 2022

In Nepal, the Constitution of Nepal 2015 has abolished the centralized ruling system and established federalism which has opened up new insights into language policy issues. The Constitution empowers local government for language policy and planning, protection, promotion and use of languages, and scripts. Applying the ethnographic observation of the qualitative method, this study explores the awareness and initiatives of Nepali policymakers and language policy arbiters for the creation of language policy in local governments. Using purposive sampling, the study situates in two local governments of Gandaki Province, Nepal. The information collected through unstructured interviews, ethnographic observation, and informal interaction with language policymakers and arbiters has been analyzed and interpreted employing multiple methods. The findings show that local policy makers and actors impose multiple ideologies, therefore, language policy has become a contested issue and created a new public debate in the changing political-social and multilingual context of Nepal. Gradually, there is an increasing awareness on creating language policy, and constructive initiatives have taken for preservation and promotion of languages which is a positive way forward in the local governments by policymakers and arbiters

Universities with faculties of education run programmes to produce competent, trained, qualified and professional teachers for the quality education in the country. Taking this case into consideration, this study examined the curriculum of teacher education of four universities from Nepal and India in relation to objectives, contents, teaching-learning methods and assessment procedures. This is a comparative descriptive study based on document analysis. In Nepal, there is the provision of integrated four-year B.Ed. programme with one fifth of the professional courses while in India two-year B.Ed. with almost professional/pedagogical courses is in practice. The major objective of teacher education programme in both countries is to produce competent school teachers and educational professionals in the field. India has slightly stronger criteria (at least 50% marks at undergraduate) for enrollment at B.Ed. than in Nepal. Both countries have provisions of internal and external assessment to evaluate the students' achievement. There are more similar instructional techniques used in teacher education for teaching- learning while criteria used for interpretation of the results vary from institution to institution in both countries.

Masjid selain menjadi tempat ibadah juga sekaligus dapat menjadi tempat untuk menambah wawasan, dengan mengikuti kegiatan masjid seperti kajian Islam. Masjid As Salam yang terletak di Joglo juga mempunyai banyak kegiatan yang diadakan seperti kajian ceramah rutin, buka bersama, mabit, dan lain sebagainya. Semenjak pandemi, beberapa kegiatan masjid secara offline diberhentikan dahulu krn banyaknya kasus yang positif di kalangan masyarakat. Tetapi beberapa kajian rutin tetap diadakan secara online. Agar masyarakat sekitar mengetahui, kiranya diperlukan media untuk sosialisasi seperti video. Video ceramah dapat diupload pada channel YouTube agar masyarakat dapat mengetahui kegiatan yang diadakan oleh Masjid As Salam. Namun keterampilan yang dimiliki oleh pengurus masjid masih begitu minim dalam hal editing video dan membuat konten yang menarik. Oleh sebab itu, tujuan diadakan pelatihan dari kegiatan ini yaitu memberikan pengembangan kepada pengurus Masjid Yayasan As Salam dalam membuat konten yang menarik sebagai media sosialisasi kegiatan Masjid As-Salam. Metode pelaksanaan yang digunakan dalam menyelesaikan permasalahan pada pengurus Mesjid di Yaysan As-Salam Joglo dilakukan secara offline (oleh beberapa panitia dengan protokol kesehatan yang ketat.) dan online (bagi panitia yang tidak bisa datang ke lokasi, karena pembatasan kerumunan orang). Target Peserta Pengabdian Masyarakat ini adalah 20 orang peserta. Hasil dari kegiatan ini yaitu Keterampilan pengurus dalam bidang pembuatan dan editing cover video konten meningkat 80 %, Keterampilan pengurus dalam bidang pembuatan dan editing video konten meningkat 70 % dan Keterampilan pengurus dalam bidang publikasi, promosi, dan sosialisasi meningkat 90 %.
