SMEs are often cited as the part of national dispensations that require the goodwill and kind interventions of governments. This is especially in circumstances where the law does not allow government’s direct control of citizens’ socio economic powers. This study describes how the Nigerian government navigates issues relating to SME’s via her lofty ideals and actions for a better set up. The government policies and promises of ideals are as influenced by the country’s political history, obligations and existing unfavorable socio-economic experience.
Gipsy life: Citizenship Crux and Denial to State Services
Authors: Akter Dr. Salena
Published: September 2023

The gypsy people of the state lead a nomadic life. They move forward frequently from hither and thither. About 10 months they love to spend their life on boats in a year. They seldom get state recognition through citizenship. As they do not live in a particular place, they usually do not get a national identity number. Except for the national identity number, nobody could get a nominal right to receive old aged monetary grant let alone other privileges. The national identity number works as a unique number for every individual. They are not entitled to schooling, getting jobs, access to justice, nuptial relations, social acceptance and recognition, bank loans, passport, health care services, state allocation to residence, opportunity of electrification, connection of gas supply and access to fresh drinking water. They are not the voters of any specific place, so they do not attract any special care by the politicians and privilege seekers. Most illegitimately, they are discriminated against. They are born in the land as others though just after birth the fate of those children have been curved with different ink in different manner. Without these essential rights they march on and lead their life as ‘Bede’ in the land without any grievance. A fascinating eye should be given to them so that they can be acknowledged as a citizen of the state without destroying their ethnic characteristics.

Authors: Sibanda Nkosana , Majola Brian Kwazi
Published: September 2023

Globalization, internationalization and technology have increased the movement of people from different cultural backgrounds around the world. The coexistence has created rapid cultural diversity challenges, forcing many democratic countries to review their labour laws, compelling organisations to adopt sound diversity management policies. Pre 1994 in South Africa, the workforce did not represent the diversity of the country. The end of apartheid created opportunities for culturally diverse workforces in most sectors of the economy. Schools are no exception to this change due to the diverse teacher and learner population as women and people from previously disadvantaged backgrounds are sharing the workspace. The School Management Team (SMT) led by the Principal, need to be properly equipped in terms of knowledge, skills and capacity to deal with increased cultural diversity for the achievement of organizational goals. This paper aims to identify barriers and challenges related to cultural diversity management within the schools in uMzinyathi District, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Province, South Africa. The research seeks to determine if schools in uMzinyathi district are utilizing cultural diversity management for the achievement of organisational goals. The paper was exploratory and descriptive in nature and adopted a qualitative approach. The focus was on the SMT of ten schools in the uMzinyathi District comprising the principal, vice-principal(s), and heads of departments, and senior teachers. Using purposive sampling, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted face-to-face involving 36 SMT members. Content analysis was used to analyse the data. Data were presented in tabular form. The study revealed that there are no work-related barriers due to the availability of teachers from diverse backgrounds under the uMzinyathi District in KZN. However, having no barriers and challenges does not mean that there is no conflict. Hence, the study recommends that the Department of Basic Education (DBE) introduces cultural exchange programmes and partnerships with other schools to share educational resources, sports development and leadership development.

Authors: De Jesus Oliveira Pereira Shirley
Published: September 2023

Este artigo trata do estudo do discurso de ódio digital contra mulheres na política brasileira. O discurso de ódio transcendeu o mundo real e ganhou contornos bem maiores, alcançando a realidade virtual. Em geral, os grupos minorizados são os alvos desse tipo de discurso, como é o caso das mulheres. E ainda as atinge em um ambiente em que são sub-representadas e onde quase não ocupam espaço de poder: o mundo da política. Será analisado nesse artigo como o ato de violência digital contra as mulheres na política brasileira é um reflexo da desigualdade de gênero da vida cotidiana, apesar de a mulher já ter alcançado algum espaço de poder em nossa sociedade. O método de abordagem é o hipotético-dedutivo e a técnica de pesquisa essencialmente bibliográfica.

Authors: Varichanan Patthinan , Shompoosang Sirinan , Dueramae Sawitree
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this research is to investigate the possible presence of prebiotic substances in durian seeds. The durian seed flour (DSF) was prepared by drum dry processing at 140 °C. The proximate composition of DSF 100 g contained moisture (2.43 g), protein (6.85 g), total fat (0.60 g), total carbohydrate (87.73 g), ash (2.39 g), and the sum of dietary fiber (4.48 g), respectively. The morphology of DSF was studied by SEM at a fixed magnification (100×). DSF appears to have smooth and rough surfaces, and the granules are covered by the gum. The optimal condition for extracting crude polysaccharide from DSF is ethanol 50 % at solvent ratios 1:8 at a temperature of 30 °C for 90 min, gave a maximum extraction yield of 5.28 % and the maximum amount of non-reducing sugar content at 392.19 ± 10.60 mg mL−1. The amount of non-reducing sugar is represented by an oligosaccharide referred to as a prebiotic. After being digested in vitro, the crude polysaccharide extract and inulin each had a total percentage of hydrolysis that was 14.68 and 11.54 %, respectively. Thus, approximately 85.32 % of crude polysaccharide extract was estimated to reach the colon. Moreover, the crude polysaccharide extract has enhanced activity values higher than inulin with 3 probiotic strains. The enhanced activity value increases when the extract concentration increases. The concentration of crude polysaccharide extract was 5.0 %w/v. Lactobacillus rhamnosus TBRC 374 had the highest enhanced activity at 582.67 %. In comparison, Lactobacillus casei BCC 13300 and Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 4356 with enhanced activity were 543.78 and 288.34 %, respectively. Significant advancements have been made in the utilization of plant waste and the development of novel prebiotic ingredients with the potential for application in food as a result of this research.
HIGHLIGHTSDurian seed is one of the wastes that still has a good source of nutrition. Durian seed flour was prepared by drum dry processing that can maintain fiber and texture, making it suitable for application in the food industry. Moreover, the crude polysaccharide extract showed prebiotic properties. These are good prebiotic candidates that might be useful in producing functional foods.

Authors: Chuekwon Kamonpun , Cheng Li‑Ting
Published: September 2023

Actinobacillus pleuropneuminiae is the major cause of invasive respiratory disease in swine. To develop an efficient subunit vaccine against pathogens, we designed a dual antigen in a single vaccine that increased the potential for an immune response. We present a dual antigen vaccine (pore-forming domain and nutritional immunity) that induces humoral and cell-mediated T-cell responses, antibodies and TH1 and TH2 cells. Mice were immunized with the dual antigen and individual antigen and then subjected to immune response analysis. A significant antibody response was observed for the dual antigen group. For the cellular immune response, CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell expansion, proinflammatory cytokine (IL-1b, IL-6) and TH2-type cytokine (IL-4, IL-10) gene expression was observed for the dual antigen. Finally, in a challenge test with A. pleuropneumoniae serotype1, the dual antigen, individual antigen and PBS vaccine conferred 100, 40 and 0 % protection.  In conclusion, the dual antigen presents critical antigens and increases the efficacy of the vaccine.
HIGHLIGHTS

The dual antigen vaccine of Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia (ApxII pore - forming domain and TonB2-the nutritional immunity antigen) were formulated as vaccines
Mice were vaccinated, immune response analysis and challenge test were performed
significant antibody response was observed and improved by approximately 2.5-fold for the dual antigen groups
CD4 + and CD8 + T cell expansion was observed for the dual antigen group
Protection rate of 100 %, 40 %, and 0 % was observed for the dual antigen, single antigen and negative control groups, respectively

Published: September 2023

Particulate matter (PM) significantly influences air quality, visibility, climate change, the earth’s radiative balance, and human health. The significance of carrying out this investigation in its entirety is due to the small amount of data that has been collected and published in Qassim region (26.2078º N, 43.4837º E). Understanding the origins of PM and its chemical species in Qassim districts is advantageous for the purpose of identifying impacts on one’s health Characterization of pollution sources also will assist in the success of mitigation strategies and solve the issue of increased PM concentrations in outdoor areas. Therefore, this study described the physical and chemical properties of PM by measuring the PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 concentrations in Qassim’s central urban and rural areas. In urban Qassim, the average PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 concentrations were 12.23, 33.16, and 155.38 µg/m3, respectively. On the other hand, the average PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 concentrations reached 8.18, 23.03, and 93.57 µg/m3 in rural Qassim, respectively. The findings revealed that fine particle concentrations have risen over allowable levels due to dust storms. A total of 18 elements and 8 chemical compounds were determined and identified. The compound concentrations of Al2O3, SiO2, CaO, TiO2, K2O, BaO, MnO, Fe2O3 and the essential elements Sr, V, Al, Cu, Ca, Fe, Cr, As, Zr, K, Br, Ba, Pb, Mn, Ni, Zn, Rb and Ti were determined using XRF and XRD. The findings revealed that fine particle concentrations have risen over allowable levels due to dust storms. The main elements in the trace elements were Ca, Fe, Al, Sr, K, and Mg, indicating significant contributions from the soil (Ca, Fe, Al, Mg), as well as from industrial and vehicle emissions (Sr, Ca, Al, Fe, K). V, Cu, Zn, Cr, Ni, Pb, Sr, As, Mn and Br fall under the anthropogenic category of trace elements, while Al, S, Na, Mg, Rb, K, Zr, Ti, Fe, Mn, Sr, Y, Cr, Ca, Ni, Zn and Cu are obtained from the earth's crust.
HIGHLIGHTS

The study measured levels of toxic heavy metals in airborne particulate matter (PM) in the Qassim region of Saudi Arabia
The results indicated that the concentrations PM were higher than the recommended guidelines set by the World Health Organization (WHO), which poses a potential health risk to the population
The study suggests that the major sources of heavy metals in the Qassim region are from dust storms and anthropogenic activities such as industrial activities and traffic emissions
The study highlights the importance of regular monitoring of heavy metals in PM and the need for effective pollution control measures to protect public health

Published: September 2023

The morphology of TiO2 nanoparticles deposited on a QCM sensor is crucial in its mechanical loading. Different heating treatments transform the morphology of TiO2 nanoparticles, affecting the loading and hence shifting the resonant frequency and changing the impedance QCM value. In this research, the deposition of TiO2 nanoparticles was carried out above QCM using the ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) technique with variations in calcination temperature of 200, 230, and 250 °C. The analysis results show that the increase in the agglomeration and particle size causes an increase in the inertial mass of TiO2 nanoparticles.
HIGHLIGHTS

The size of TiO2 agglomerates and their particles increases as the calcination temperature is raised
Higher calcination temperature resulted in a larger frequency shift of the QCM oscillation due to the layer inertial mass increase
Larger TiO2 nanoparticle size significantly increases the layer’s resistance, contributing to higher impedance

PANAMÁ
Authors: Gómez Pérez José Antonio
Published: September 2023

En Panamá transcurre un debate creciente sobre la concesión y explotación de la valiosísima Mina Cobre Panamá, ubicada en el distrito de Donoso, provincia de Colón. De manera formal y perceptible, el problema relevante concierne a la formalización de un nuevo Contrato-Ley sobre la mina aludida, entre el Estado Nacional y el consorcio empresarial Minera Panamá, S.A., que es liderado por la transnacional canadiense First Quantum Minerals Limited.   No obstante, analizando a fondo la economía y sociedad panameña, es evidente que los problemas mineros críticos existentes tienen sus raíces en el cambio abrupto de la perspectiva y estrategia minera desarrollista nacional, que fue establecida en los años 70’ del siglo pasado, en el gobierno del general Omar Torrijos. Dicho retroceso histórico trajo como resultados: el abandono del modelo de empresa mixta para gestionar la minería panameña, y su remplazo desafortunado por el patrón de concesiones mineras absolutamente privadas y minimizadoras del rol del Estado.

 

En la sociedad panameña, mediante una identificación pragmática pueden distinguirse fácilmente tres corrientes notorias respecto a la minería y sus roles para el desarrollo nacional: A) Panamá vale más con minería; B) Panamá vale más sin minería; y C) Panamá y la minería a la fuerza. En cada una, sus títulos emblemáticos implican los contenidos que representan. Lo muy cierto es que la tercera corriente se ha hecho dueña de la realidad minera nacional, y está estableciendo sus pautas concretas, por encima de lo que planten o piensen los actores de las corrientes A y B. Desde 1997, la concesión sobre la Mina Cobre Panamá es símbolo de un triunfo fácil y avasallador sobre el estado y nación panameña. 

Este artículo estructurado metodológicamente secuencial y con un estilo de comunicación coloquial, busca contribuir al debate nacional aportando análisis y planteamientos de los eventos conceptuales y reales del quehacer minero doméstico y global, que posibiliten a los ciudadanos lectores organizar sus opiniones con mayor información, análisis y argumentaciones. Ojalá que ya para cuando los debates se pongan al rojo vivo, y sin duda se pondrán, segmentos importantes de la población panameña hayan fortalecido sus criterios y conclusiones para tomar posicionamientos convenientes, respecto a los temas conflictivos de la crisis imperante.

Este artículo de investigación se sustenta en la inquietud por analizar los impactos de la   deuda externa de Panamá, y la urgencia de la puesta en marcha de un modelo de sostenibilidad a largo plazo.  Intentamos responder a una pregunta: ¿Puede un país con problemas de endeudamiento público incrementar su economía y consecuentemente disminuir su deuda? Para contestar a esta pregunta, analizamos dos variables macroeconómicas por excelencia, el Producto Interno Bruto y la Deuda Externa de Panamá, mediante un análisis de correlación y regresión que comprobará si la deuda y el crecimiento económico están relacionados.

 

Además, solo haremos la regresión con datos de 20 años, desde el año 2000 hasta el 2019; no incluimos los años posteriores porque la pandemia del 2020 provocó un cierre mundial de la economía, situación que sesgará los datos y puede alterar los resultados del modelo. Para estimar los datos, se realizó la prueba bilateral para la correlación con un 5% de significancia utilizando el paquete estadístico SPSS, donde se estimaron varios modelos. En el proceso de análisis, se estimó el modelo clásico lineal y el modelo exponencial, siendo este último el que mejor explicaba la relación entre el PIB y la Deuda Externa.

Este trabajo aporta información y conocimientos a quienes se interesen en profundizar en el comportamiento de la deuda externa panameña en el periodo de 2000-2019, para ampliar las explicaciones de su desarrollo y lograr un amplio entendimiento de la realidad económica de Panamá.
ANÁLISIS DEL CENSO DE LA POBLACIÓN EN PANAMÁ
Authors: Pereira Sánchez Luis Antonio
Published: September 2023

El Censo de Población constituye la principal fuente de información demográfica y estadística de un país. El trabajo desea indagar sobre su situación en Panamá con miras a los resultados del censo 2023, considerar las principales novedades y modificaciones en el cuestionario censal, el cambio de metodología de enumeración, así como evaluar la calidad de los datos, considerando la presencia de errores de cobertura y contenido en los censos más recientes.  A tal efecto, se realiza una evolución histórica de los censos en Panamá, incluyendo la organización institucional, se revisa el cuestionario censal, y se utilizan varios métodos gráficos y medidas derivadas de la información disponible, para evaluar la calidad de los datos. 

Con respecto a errores de cobertura, se verifica una considerable omisión censal del total de la población, comparado con el resto de la región y las estimaciones a partir del modelo demográfico de Naciones Unidas, así como de hombres y la población de menores de 5 años. Sobre los errores de contenido, enfocados en la variable edad, se han realizado cambios a tal pregunta, que favorecen una adecuada recolección de la información, con el fin de mejorar su calidad, que históricamente ha sido bastante aceptable.

Published: September 2023

Penelitian ini berupaya menemukan dan mengidentifikasi keberlanjutan arsitektur rumoh Aceh pada perkembangan rumah tinggal Di kabupaten Bireun, aceh dalam kurun waktu 1980-2016, serta faktor yang mempengaruhinya. Keberlanjutan dikaji melalui massa dan artikulasi, detail arsitektur, bukaan, material, prinsip susunan fasade, serta nilai sosiokulturalnya. Observasi langsung pada rumah-rumah tinggal dilakukan dengan mengambil Kecamatan Jangka,bireun sebagai kawasan studi. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif-deskriptif karena memaparkan dan    mendeskripsikan  sesuatu  seperti  apa  adanya  secara  mendalam. Wawancara terhadap narasumber yang terdiri dari pemilik rumah dan narasumber yang telah tinggal di Gampong Barat Lanyan selama lebih dari 50 tahun juga dilakukan untuk mengumpulkan persepsi dan opini dalam menemukan faktor yang mempengaruhi keberlanjutan komponen arsitektur rumoh Aceh pada rumah tinggal. Dari penelitian yang telah dilakukan ditarik kesimpulan bahwa sebagian besar komponen mengalami keberlanjutan (diatas 50%), yang berupa keberlanjutan prinsip dan bentuk. Arsitektur rumoh Aceh yang mengalami keberlanjutan pada rumah tinggal dari tahun 1980 hingga saat ini diantaranya: artikulasi bidang, bukaan dan posisi jendela, material kayu pada kusen, sistem atap (pelana), pengulangan (bentuk dasar jendela), orientasi bangunan, nilai sosiokultural (adanya seuramoe Keu (dalam bentuk ruang tamu), seuramoe likeut (dalam bentuk ruang keluarga dan berdekatan dengan dapur), dan kamar khusus anak perempuan), serta ornamen (hanya motif flora, motif geometris, dan motif benda khas Aceh). Faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap keberlanjutan komponen-komponen arsitektur tradisional Aceh adalah kesesuaian terhadap syariat agama Islam dan kesesuaian terhadap budaya masyarakat Aceh sendiri. Keberlanjutan terjadi sejauh elemen arsitektur tersebut masih mendukung kehidupan secara kultural, estetika, dan klimatika. Faktor lainnya yang cukup berperan adalah kemampuan finansial.

Energy Optimization in Wireless Sensor Networks for Forest Fire Detection: A Study of Sleep Scheduling Techniques
Authors: Ibraheem Manar Khalid , Mohamed Mbarka Belhaj , Fakhfakh Ahmed
Published: September 2023

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have gained significant interest in forest fire applications due to their potential for real-time monitoring, early detection, and quick reaction. However, energy consumption poses a challenge as sensor nodes primarily rely on batteries. Efficient energy management is crucial to extend network lifespan, reduce maintenance frequency, and ensure continuous monitoring. This paper proposes the use of sleep-based concepts in WSNs for forest fire detection to optimize energy consumption. The study utilizes the Omnet++ simulation platform to model and simulate a realistic WSN deployed in a forest fire detection scenario. It analyses power consumption patterns, evaluates different MAC protocols, and explores sleep scheduling optimization.

Serious games are video games designed for more than just pure entertainment purposes [1]. Serious games developers combine traditional game mechanics and the ideas to educate, inform and facilitate social change [2]. These games can be used in many occasions, such as education, healthcare and more. Serious games use simulations and scenarios to provide an immersive and interactive learning experience. They offer an environment to experiment with a variety of solutions to real-world problems, promoting critical thinking and decision making skills. These games can also improve knowledge retention, motivation, and engagement, as they provide instant feedback, rewards, and challenges.
