This study sought to investigate the extent to which optimism influence work Engagement among middle level managers in State Corporations in Kenya. The study was informed by social learning theory. To achieve this, the study adopted a cross sectional quantitative survey design. The target population was the middle level managers in State Corporations in Kenya. A total of 389 middle level managers were sampled and self-administered questionnaires issued. The data collected was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS computer software. Multiple regression model indicated that optimism predicts 0.036 (3.6%) of work engagement which was insignificant. Consequently, the predictor did not have a statistically significant effect on Work engagement. The coefficients show that the prediction of work engagement in relation to optimism was insignificant (β1= 0.013, p>.01). Thus optimism was not a significant predictor of work engagement, though methodological limitations may have impacted on this result. This study recommends government agencies in Kenya to assess and identify optimistic employees and also cultivate a working environment that promotes optimism. Executives would promote optimism by instituting measures and practices within its operating systems that create a work environment that assures the employees of their future. Managers ought to be faithful to its promises, particularly on matters touching employees. They should also be able to identify and nurture optimistic employees, by so doing they enhance the level of employee engagement and subsequent improvement of organizational performance.

VISION, MISSION AND THE 21ST CENTURY NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES
Authors: Bakare K. A.
Published: August 2021

Marketing big organizations requires deep thinking and extraction of the essence in a nutshell fashion. It is an exercise in epiphany, that projects thinking and motivation as guides towards value-adding; what underlines the renowned ‘Yo shinai, Yo kangai’ Japanese philosophy, popularized by the Toyota Motor Company. The ‘good thinking, good product’ statement is a philosophy that is self-sustaining, needing the energy to drive the market, and sell its potentials to prospective clients. A new economic paradigm has emerged in the Nigerian university space as a result of recent proliferation of private universities. This development which encourages healthy rivalry and competitiveness calls for a compulsory revision and re-modelling of vision and mission statements for some universities, to project values and drive market orientation in an expansive client-based knowledge economy. In an economy harboring 43 Federal universities, 48 State universities, and 79 Private universities, the competition is getting stiffer by the day, and the contest between the traditional first generation universities and the avant-garde private universities is widening. The government-owned public universities have to catch up with the ideals of modernity and global competitiveness presented by the 21st century. A population of over 200 million people provides a vibrant market for university business. In this study, we shall probe the relevance of vision and mission as structuring principles in the Nigerian university space, and interrogate their perspectives on goals and objectives in a developing nation. We shall seek to know how realistic the statements are, given contextual challenges, and given that the statements in some instances, show obvious misunderstanding of basic meanings and expected functions of vision and mission statements. We shall posit that lack of proper setup of the structuring pattern is comparable to a derailed locomotive heading for oblivion. Drawing from a few number of concrete examples, we shall conclude by reiterating the importance of getting the foundation right to be able to revolutionize and reposition our universities.

Authors: Biriowu Chris Sam , Chikwe John E.
Published: August 2021

The strategic objective of this study is to empirically have an objective grasp of production planning and control complementarity architecture of five selected manufacturing firms and relevant areas of cost control. The paper empirically explores some facets of production planning and processing analysis in different machines and periods; production divisions and types, scheduling and sequencing of production planning. Capacity planning levels including potential capacity, immediate capacity and effective capacity were strategically discussed. Aspects of production control architecture such as dispatching and functions of the dispatcher were also evaluated. Other related areas of production control examined include: expediting (follow-up) and progressing, and the activities in these production and control elements were objectively handled. The study arrived at the fact that, production planning and control functions complement each other in their functionality. Effective scheduling and sequencing are revealed to be a panacea that help the handling of time, space constraints and associated cost elements in production operations management. It is therefore recommended that, production and control operations functions should complement, and be jealously guided in manufacturing operations.

MOOCS & PARTICIPATION INEQUALITIES IN DISTANCE EDUCATION: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW 2009-2019
Authors: Zafras Ioannis , Kostas Apostolos , Sofos Alivizos
Published: August 2021

The extent to which Multiple Open Online Courses (MOOCs) provide an alternative educational model to less privileged social groups is still under investigation. Purpose of this study is to examine how various social, demographic, and educational factors influence learners’ participation in MOOCs. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was deployed focusing on empirical research published between 2009-2019. Analysis and synthesis of the literature revealed that both the geographical location and the professional status of learners have a positive impact on self-regulated learning. Learners from North America and Europe have significantly higher levels of ICT and self-regulated learning skills than learners from other regions. Moreover, inequalities persist as most MOOCs users have a better educational and professional background in relation to the general population. This study helps to further understand the profile of the “average MOOC user” and contribute to the related scientific discussion about MOOCs initiative.

Published: August 2021

It has been two years since the world has been forced to cope with doing things online. Even in normal face-to-face group discussions, participants face difficulties and conflicts, and now online learning has not made it any easier. This study explores the ups and downs in group discussion. 72 participants responded to a survey to find out how they perceive the conflicts in group formation. The findings in this study revealed that there were significant differences the norming stage and also performing & adjourning stage. In addition to that, the total mean score showed interesting differences across gender. Not all group formations with different genders go through conflicts. Not all team members with the same gender are conflict-free. Sometimes discussions/some activities are more difficult to carry out because of conflicts across genders are not properly addressed. Then again, not all group conflicts are negative. Conflicts are good in several ways. The conversations improve the communication and negotiation skills of the team members. In addition to that, defending for one’s point helps to sharpen critical thinking skills. The findings in this study cannot be generalized for all situations in group work. This study can be a springboard for more group formation and group conflicts research.

Physical activity can improve metabolism, lung functionality, aerobic capacity, physical fitness components and quality of life among children and adults diagnosed with cancer. The daily practice of physical activity and physical fitness levels are important factors to cancer care and prevention, showing positive effects on the immune system and hematologic malignancies. Hodgkin's lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system, originated from B lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) present in the lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, blood and numerous other organs. This system has a defense function, protecting organism from external agents and diseases. The aim of this systematic review is to analyze the effects of physical activity on fatigue, physical fitness levels and quality of life in children and adolescents Hodgkin's lymphoma survivors. The PRISMA protocol was used to conduct a systematic review of SportDiscuss, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Pedro databases. 4 articles met inclusion criteria (randomized controlled trials, pre-post intervention studies with and without control group, pilot studies or preliminary studies; full-text and peer-reviewed studies; diagnosis of lymphoma during childhood or adolescence; studies using validated assessment tools or a combination of validated and non-validated tools; studies including physical activity, physical fitness and quality of life as outcomes; studies focusing Hodgkin Lymphoma exclusively; studies published in English). Results evidence a progressive decline in physical activity levels, a progressive decrease in VO2max, increased fatigue, muscular strength reduction, and major risk of cardiovascular diseases in Hodgkin’s Lymphoma survivors. Future research should clarify the effects of physical activity on HL management and etiology, to reach definitive conclusions and develop specific policy recommendations.

Regular physical activity is associated with enhanced health and reduced risk of all-cause mortality. Despite the positive effects of physical activity on health, life has become more sedentary and the decrease in PA has affected people of all ages. The aim of our study was to assess the level of physical activity and related sociodemographic factors of adults aged 18 to 45. Our results showed statistically significant relationships in the majority of the variables examined. Physical activity is undertaken by people of all ages, both residents of cities and rural areas. Among the surveyed inhabitants of the Podkarpackie Province, men much more often than women declare regular willingness to physical activity. The conducted own research shows that 40.90% of the studied group lead an active lifestyle, 31.06% not very active. An important issue is the use of stimulants during physical activity. The problem of using more serious stimulants, i.e. psychoactive substances in my own research, this hypothesis was not confirmed.

COURSE OF COMMUNISM: COMPETENCY OR MERE COSMETIC SHOW? A STUDY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO NEPAL’S POLITICAL DECAY AND DEADLOCK
Authors: Dahal Atindra
Published: August 2021

Communism (Marxism) is a prominently powerful proposition. People may deposit delight or deepening disgust then denigrate it but it is inexorable and ineluctable to understand the gist of Marxism before aligning at either of the sides. Despite having cross-cutting arguments and series of theses and anti-theses in academic fraternity from centre to circumference, the paper synthesizes the gravity and assesses the validity of such a tantalisingly wheedling discourse. Marxism has cajoled and coaxed many across the globe. Nonetheless, it has neither been remained immune from full fiasco and grossly unsuccessful scenario in most country nor seemingly it is going to be an else example in Nepal. Eventually, it has even been an epitome of political decay and betrayal too. Marxism has now lost both the political compass and public credibility induced competence as well. Probably, the most corrupt and condemnable choreographing is being experienced in Nepal at present. Ergo, in essence, this paper presents an argument that Marxism has been a useless cosmetic which initially embodied a transitory glow but ultimately has turned an utterly unhelpful and non-pragmatic utopian envisioning in the globe; and the incontrovertibly heightened form of it is currently on stage in Nepal.

Social media is a space for interaction for humanity in this millennial era. However, social media development is often accompanied by several phenomena such as defamation, hate speech, and bullying. In Indonesia, this latest phenomenon occurs in hate speech and bullying cases that befell Tri Risma Harini as Mayor of Surabaya. This research aims to analyze Indonesian social media users' ethics and power based on the perspective of Gramsci's theory of hegemony and electronic information and transaction (EIT) Law. The research method used in the study is a literature review, which contains reviews, summaries, and the author's thoughts on several sources of literature (articles, books, slides, information from the internet, etc.) on the topics discussed. Meanwhile, Antonio Gramsci's hegemony theory and Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning EIT are used to analyze the literature-status used. The findings in this study indicate that an Indonesian citizen who uses social media cannot freely express his/her will because it is regulated in the ITE Law and local laws limit the freedom of expression of every citizen, spirit (morality), society, and order. Social and political (public order) of a democratic society as contained in article 29 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As an Indonesian citizen, the case that befell Zikria is actually an act that is not wise in using social media. Although the freedom of opinion of every citizen is guaranteed by the laws of this country, an understanding of the substance of the ITE Law must be well understood.

Questions about gifted and talented students have from time to time concerned the scientific community, teachers and parents. It is widely accepted that additionally to high intelligence, characteristics such as creativity, but also social and emotional characteristics had to be taken into account in order to identify gifted students. Today the wide group of disabled people includes also gifted children or “high ability children”. In Greece the legal framework for gifted children is incomplete. It was not until 2003 and then 2008 that a low was passed, which states that people with special skills and talents could be given special educational treatment. However, this reference has never been applied. The role of a teacher in observing, recognizing and developing the giftedness and the talent of the students is particularly important. The aim of this article is to define the gifted, talented or “high abilities” students, to describe their positive and negative characteristics, as they emerge from the recent literature and finally to report the situation that has been formed in Greece as well as the steps that need to be taken.

Companies are eager to take advantage of or benefit from new goods or services or technological marketing channels in this context. Due to the recognition of leadership as an important driver of business innovation, a perceptual framework has been established in order to study the consequences of entrepreneurial leadership on the desire to build business model innovation in organizations, with business acting as a mediating moderating function on entrepreneurial bricolage and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. To explore the conceptual model of the study, five hypotheses have been proposed. A self-managed survey was conceived to acquire cross-sectional responses from 325 people working in the Punjab, Pakistan manufacturing industry. The results demonstrated that, when entrepreneurial self-efficacy is high, the link between entrepreneurial leadership and business model innovation models is stronger. As a result, this is a one-of-a-kind cross-sectional study that investigates the mediating-moderating process of business bricolage and entrepreneurial self-efficacy in Pakistan's manufacturing industry. The study contributes to existing research while also assisting legislators in taking action to govern workplace self-efficacy and encouraging leaders to use entrepreneurial bricolage techniques and business model innovation.

Published: August 2021

Isu utama dalam dunia pendidikan yang semakin mencabar ketika ini telah menuntut guru melakukan perubahan secara keseluruhan dari pelbagai aspek. Ini termasuklah cabaran yang menguji kemahiran, kemampuan dan kekuatan guru dalam melakukan sesuatu aktiviti. Setiap perubahan yang berlaku dalam kurikulum memerlukan guru meneliti secara terperinci agar perubahan yang dilakukan dapat memberi manfaat kepada semua. Tujuan kajian adalah untuk mensintesis kajian empirikal tentang isu-isu dan kritikan yang berkaitan dengan pembangunan profesionalisme dalam kalangan guru matematik sekolah rendah. Kajian literatur bersistematik adalah satu lagi kajian yang wujud untuk mengenal pasti secara kritis perubahan dan perbezaan dapatan empirikal terhadap satu-satu aspek yang ingin dikaji. Kajian tinjauan merupakan reka bentuk yang dijalankan untuk mensintesis dapatan penyelidikan empirikal yang berkaitan dengan pembangunan profesionalisme guru matematik sekolah rendah. Hasil daripada dapatan analisis kajian empirikal terpilih, kajian terhadap STEM dan lesson study menjadi pilihan pengkaji dalam pembangunan profesionalisme guru matematik sekolah rendah. Manakala Amerika Syarikat merupakan negara yang tertinggi menjalankan kajian ini. Faktor masa, keperluan guru dan kesan terhadap pencapaian pelajar menjadi pengaruh utama dalam pemantapan pembangunan profesionalisme kepada guru matematik sekolah rendah. Secara kolektif, penganjuran sesuatu program perlu dilihat dalam perbagai aspek agar objektif dan sasaran sampai kepada matlamat utama. Implikasi dapatan kajian ialah program pembangunan profesionalisme ini harus berterusan sepanjang tahun dan bukannya dalam sesi singkat. Hal ini kerana, sesi ringkas terbukti kurang berkesan dalam mengubah sikap guru terhadap pengajaran dalam bilik darjah. Program pembangunan profesionalisme ini juga harus diadakan di sekolah supaya semua guru matematik dapat mengikuti program tersebut, dan bukannya sebilangan kecil guru sahaja.
