Career Development and Performance of Non-Family Employees in Selected Family-Owned Businesses in Kenya: West Kenya Sugar and Kirathimo Cereals
Authors: Gathenge Jedida , Obere Eliud
Published: June 2021

Non-family employees in family organizations may face career development challenges. The study explores the impact of employee promotion, training, and assessment practices on the performance of nonfamily employees within family-owned organizations. The study applied a mixed-methods approach. The target population was from two family-owned businesses in Kenya, West Kenya Sugar, and Kirathimo Cereals. Using a cluster sampling approach, 106 participants took part in the study. The results indicated a positive and significant impact of employee training on employee performance (Î² = 1.049, t = 8.245, p<.01), as well as promotion on performance (Î² = 0.813, t = 5.300, p<.01). However, the impact of assessment practices on performance was insignificant (Î² = 0.524, t = 2.756, p<.01). The study concludes that employee training and promotion practices predict the performance of non-family employees in family-owned organizations in Kenya. Hence, organizations should invest in developing non-family employees to enhance both individual staff performance and organizational productivity.

Published: June 2021

Faced with the threats posed by climate change to global public health in the 21st century, the island of Haiti has a duty to inform the population and disseminate knowledge on the health consequences of the phenomenon. The effects of climate change are imminent for the country. In terms of health, the consequences will particularly accentuate the prevalence of endemic diseases, water-borne and infectious pathologies, malnutrition and undernourishment. Also, information on this issue must be widely disseminated through environmental and health education in order to raise awareness in the population and encourage them to modify their daily lifestyles through mitigation and adaptation. Previous work on strategies for popularizing scientific knowledge has shown that culture and poverty constitute obstacles to changes in behavior favoring mitigation and adaptation to climate change. The study of the Social Representations of the populations or social groups concerned makes it possible to discarded them.. From this point of view, this article questions and analyzes the social representations of vector pathologies including Malaria, Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika among the residents of Jalousie, one of the vulnerable neighborhoods of the Metropolitan Region of Port-au-Prince (MRPP - Haiti). This work highlights the link established by the population of Jalousie between climate change and the transmission of the vector-borne diseases mentioned. It does this by considering elements of Haitian popular knowledge likely to build understanding that combines the prevention and symptomatology of these pathologies with knowledge of public hygiene and supernatural phenomena. The survey carried out on a representative sample of 121 residents of the Jalousie district, a slum area of MRPP, shows that vector-borne diseases are assimilated with epidemics and their transmission due to changes in the seasons (temperature change: hot weather, rainy weather in Haiti).
Resource Sustainability, Cooperation Risk Management Capacity and NPO Social Entrepreneurship Activity: A Conceptual Model
Authors: Erramy Kaoutar , Ahrouch Said
Published: June 2021

Gaining knowledge about social entrepreneurship is important for nonprofit organizations to support their development process. Despite the different studies that treat social entrepreneurship, the role of the Cooperation Risk Management capacity in implementing a social entrepreneurial activity remains an unexplored research field. Scholars have paid particular attention to the capabilities that enable nonprofits to innovate and create social entrepreneurial activities. This paper aims to bridge resources' sustainability and social entrepreneurial activity. For so, social resource-based view theory is mobilized to present a conceptual model that highlights the indirect effect of nonprofit organization's resources sustainability through the mediation of cooperation risk management capacity. This paper sums up with potential implications for future empirical studies.
De Lâ€™utopie Mondialiste A La Nouvelle Utopie Altermondialiste Face A La Pauvrete Et Aux Inegalites
Authors: Kanani Amos Cishunguluka
Published: June 2021

RÃ©verbÃ©rer sur les promesses et les dÃ©boires de la mondialisation et de lâ€™altermondialisme, constitue le contenu de ce papier.Sans nul doute, la rÃ©flexion relance le dÃ©bat sur la crÃ©dibilitÃ© des alternatives au capitalisme ultralibÃ©ral. Lâ€™argument dÃ©veloppÃ© souligne que si la mondialisation Ã©conomique (le capitalisme) nâ€™a pas tenu ses promesses, le mouvement altermondialiste qui sâ€™en est Ã©rigÃ© en adversaire farouche et autodÃ©terminÃ© Ã  agir autrement en vue de  construire un autre monde oÃ¹ le capital ne serait quâ€™un outil au service de lâ€™humanitÃ©, a aussi engendrÃ© ses propres contradictions et provoquÃ© de nouvelles insatisfactions.Si lâ€™altermondialisme a voulu corriger ou rÃ©parer les effets nocifs de la mondialisation, il a aussi, dans sa praxÃ©ologie, reproduit  certaines tares de son adversaire et provoquÃ© des nouvelles dÃ©ceptions dans le procÃ¨s de la pauvretÃ© et des inÃ©galitÃ©s. Ainsi, jusque lÃ , le monde nâ€™a fait que passer de lâ€™utopie Ã  la nouvelle utopie.
Reverberating on the promises and setbacks of globalization and alter-globalization is the content of this paper.No doubt, the reflection restarts the debates on the credibility of alternatives to ultraliberal capitalism. The scrutinized idea shows if economic globalization (capitalism) has not made its promises, the alter-globalization movement which has itself up as a fierce and self-determined opponent to act differently in order to build another world where capital would be a tool of humanity service, has also generated its own contradictions and provoked new dissatisfaction.If the alter-globalization wanted to correct or repair the globalization harmful effects, it has also, in its praxeology, reproduced certain defects of its adversary and provoked new disappointments in the process of poverty and inequalities. So, till then, the world has only shifted from the utopia to the new utopia.
The Impact Of Human Capital On Nigeria's Economic Growth
Authors: Bachama Yusufu Nigel , Hassan Aisha Adamu , Ibrahim Bello
Published: June 2021

Despite abundant evidence at microeconomic level, the role of human capital in promoting economic growth and development has not been well documented at the macroeconomic level â€“ specifically in developing countries. This paper seeks to examine the role of human capital on economic growth in Nigeria using time series data covering the period from 1970-2019.  The data are sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin and World Development Indicators of the World Bank. The data are analyzed using Autoregressive Distributed Lag model (ARDL). The study reveals that expenditure on health and education are found to be positively and significantly related with economic growth both in the short-run and long-run. However, labor negatively impact on economic growth and it was found to be significant. Again, trade openness and inflation are insignificant in explaining economic growth in this paper. Thus, the paper recommends that, Nigerian government should focus on improving the educational and health sector. Meaning that, huge amount of government budgetary allocation should be directed toward educational and health sector. So also, government should create more jobs opportunities (through skills acquisitions/ vocational training) to minimize the unemployment rate in the country.

Published: June 2021

The apparel industry is the prime driving force of the Bangladesh economy, contributing 83% to the total export earning with 27.94 billion USD in 2019-2020. The apparel industry has to deal with an intricate supply chain globally. While many apparel-exporting countries adopt sustainable supply chains, Bangladesh is still under the traditional supply chain umbrella. Sustainable supply chain in the apparel sector of Bangladesh is in the nascent stage yet. This study explores the challenges to the sustainable supply chain and their interrelation in the apparel sector of Bangladesh. This study incorporates thirty barriers in five categories (environmental, economic, societal, knowledge & technology, and Management & Stakeholders). This study is quantitative in nature, and data collection was completed two-fold. Two questionnaires were designed to garner a response. The first questionnaire was used to collect responses from experts (academic, buying-house, and industry people)to determine the most prominent barriers and shortened number of obstacles from thirty to eighteen. The second questionnaire was designed to collect responses from hundred respondents as input in the comparison matrix of DEMATEL. Finally, DEMATEL based method was applied to investigate the interrelation among the barriers. From the result of the study, according to prominence value, lack of stakeholder involvement, high costs of sustainability adoption, insignificant financial gains, lack of supply chain integration are the prime barriers to SSCM. Moreover, this study unravels the cause-effect relationship among the barriers, ten barriers fall in the cause group, and eight barriers fall in the effect group, and finally, proposed corrective action to address the cause barriers.
Les Politiques Publiques De Gestion Des Dechets Au Cameroun : Une Analyse Critique Du â€˜Monopoleâ€™ Dâ€™hysacam A L'ere De La Gouvernance Decentralisee Dans La Ville De Yaounde
Authors: Arrey William Hermann , Loumou Mondoleba Alain-Patrick
Published: June 2021

A mesure que le Cameroun se modernise, la question des dÃ©chets dans la ville de YaoundÃ© occupe une place importante dans lâ€™agenda des Ã©lites politico-dirigeantes. La croissance dÃ©mographique rapide et lâ€™industrialisation croissante sont productrices dâ€™une quantitÃ© dÃ©bordante des dÃ©chets dont les effets sur la santÃ© et la sÃ©curitÃ© des populations se font ressentir. Cet article se veut une rÃ©flexion critique du monopole octroyÃ© Ã  HYSACAM dans la gestion technique des dÃ©chets dans la ville de YaoundÃ©. Sur le plan mÃ©thodologique, cette rÃ©flexion sâ€™appuie sur la recherche documentaire, lâ€™investigation auprÃ¨s des institutions directement concernÃ©es et sur un protocole dâ€™enquÃªte essentiellement qualitative dressÃ© aux populations de YaoundÃ©. En sâ€™encrant sur lâ€™incrÃ©mentalisme, elle met en exergue le tÃ¢tonnement et le bricolage qui caractÃ©risent la politique de gestion des dÃ©chets dans la ville de YaoundÃ©. Dit autrement, la politique de gestion des dÃ©chets dans la ville de YaoundÃ© sâ€™inscrit dans un schÃ©ma de dÃ©brouillardise et de tÃ¢tonnement permanent, se caractÃ©risant par des va-et-vient et des essais-recommencements infinis. Cette Ã©tude postule quâ€™on ne saurait envisager, en plein essor de la gouvernance dÃ©centralisÃ©e, une politique de gestion efficace des dÃ©chets en faisant abstraction au Â« marchÃ© Â» des partenaires techniques, qui suppose une dÃ©monopolisation dâ€™HYSACAM dans la gestion technique des dÃ©chets dans la ville de YaoundÃ©.
As Cameroon modernizes, the issue of waste in the city of YaoundÃ© occupies an important place on the agenda of the political-ruling elites. Rapid population growth and increasing industrialization are producing an overflowing quantity of waste, the effects of which are felt on the health and safety of populations. This article is a critical analysis of the monopoly granted to HYSACAM in the technical management of waste in the city of YaoundÃ©. Methodologically, the research is based on documentary analysis, investigation of the institutions directly concerned and on an essentially qualitative survey protocol drawn up to the populations of YaoundÃ©. By focusing on the public policy theory of incrementalism, it highlights the trial and error and tinkering that characterize the waste management policy in the city of YaoundÃ©. In other words, the waste management policy in the city of YaoundÃ© is part of a scheme of resourcefulness and permanent groping, characterized by back and forth and endless re-starts. This study argues that, in the boom of decentralized governance, an effective waste management policy cannot be envisaged by disregarding the â€œmarketâ€ of technical partners, which presupposes a demonopolization of HYSACAM in the technical management of waste in the city of YaoundÃ©.

Authors: Ngwengeh Brendaline Beloke , Messomo Elle Serge , Mbu Sunday Agbor
Published: June 2021

A strong banking industry is important in every nation and this can have a significant effect in supporting economic development through the provision of efficient financial services. Digital banking/financial services is the act of carrying out financial transactions without the use of physical cash, coins or bills. This paper sort to determine the influence of digital financial services on the financial performance of commercial banks in Cameroon. Specifically, it examined the influence of Digital Savings Services, Digital Transfers Services, Digital Withdrawals Services and Digital Payment Services on the profitability of commercial banks in Cameroon. It covers 10 out of 15 commercial banks in Cameroon. Methodologically,  it made use of survey research design. Item by item analysis of the questions was used to identify the reliability of digital financial services. The Taylor linearise variance estimation technique was used to determine their influence on commercial bank profitability. Results from the study showed that digital saving services, digital withdrawal services and digital transfer services have a positive and significant influence on the profitability of commercial banks in Cameroon. Digital payment on the other hand had a negative but significant influence on commercial Bankâ€™s Profitability at 10% level of significance. Generally, 48% of variations of profitability of commercial banks are caused by joint variations in the use of digital transfer services, Digital Savings services, Digital Withdrawal services and Digital Payment services. Consequently 0.52 or 52% of the variations in profitability are not accounted for by the studyâ€™s model on digital financial services and bank profitability but caused by the error term. Conclusively, digital financial services are a booster of commercial bankâ€™s profit levels. Finally, the study recommended that management of banks and policy makers in the banking industry should go in for robust digital systems and services as a means to diversify their sources of income and meet up with declining profit levels.

Published: June 2021

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of church conflict on the growth of Pentecostal churches in Kenya with focus on selected churches in Nairobi which are struggling with growth. The objectives of the study were to investigate the nature of conflicts in the Pentecostal churches in Kenya, determine the effect of conflict on the growth of Pentecostal churches in Kenya, and to assess the conflict resolution mechanisms employed to solve the conflict in Pentecostal churches in Kenya. The study was carried out in branches of four churches which experienced growth challenges, namely: Full Gospel Churches of Kenya, Kenya Assemblies of God, Pentecostal Evangelism Fellowship of Africa, and Worldwide Gospel Church of Kenya. The study used qualitative research approach as it intended to collect data based on participantsâ€™ subjective experience, and its ability to uncover unexpected and exploring new avenues. The target population was church leaders who have been in the church for at least two years. The study used purposive sampling method to select the church leaders in influential positions (i.e., leaders that direct and/or lead a church ministry) of the selected churches according to the church leadership structure espoused by each of the four selected churches. Proportionate stratified sampling was used where equal number of units was selected from each stratum. Data was collected using face-to-face individual interview schedule. The data was analyzed thematically using content analysis method. The researcher came up with the vital themes, recurring ideas, and patterns of belief, which assisted with the integration of the results. The study found that there were conflicts in all the churches under study. The study established that there were top leadership wrangles at the national level seeking to control the church. There were also local church leadership wrangles pitting pastors and other leaders and conflict among other leaders within the church. The study established that conflict negatively affected the growth of the church as the churches lost members to other churches around. Among the conflict resolution mechanism used were prayer and fasting, dialogues, and courts. The study recommends that the Pentecostal churches should adopt conflict resolution methods and avoid conflicts by practicing inclusivity.

Published: June 2021

La crise Ã©conomique de la fin des annÃ©es 1980, a entrainÃ© avec elle, la libÃ©ralisation des services qui, autrefois, Ã©taient lâ€™apanage de lâ€™Etat, notamment le transport urbain. Cependant, la croissance dÃ©mographique et lâ€™Ã©talement urbain spontanÃ© ont Ã  leur tour contribuÃ© Ã  mettre Ã  mal le systÃ¨me de transport urbain au Cameroun. Cette situation a favorisÃ© un besoin en mobilitÃ© urbaine et pÃ©ri-urbaine qui reste prÃ©occupant pour les populations dont la majeure partie dâ€™activitÃ©s socio-Ã©conomiques se concentrent au centre urbain. Lâ€™inadÃ©quation, mieux, lâ€™absence de politiques publiques en matiÃ¨re de transport fait que lâ€™Etat peine Ã  satisfaire ce besoin, laissant entrevoir le dÃ©veloppement dâ€™un moyen de transport dit Â« artisanal Â» dans les villes camerounaises telles que YaoundÃ©. Ce travail sâ€™appuie sur lâ€™enquÃªte de terrain et lâ€™analyse des sources diachroniques et synchroniques existantes sur la ville de YaoundÃ© et de ses localitÃ©s pÃ©riurbaines. Il montre comment, malgrÃ© la prÃ©sence du transport institutionnel, le Â« transport artisanal Â» est devenu depuis prÃ¨s de deux dÃ©cennies, le principal outil de maintien de la mobilitÃ© centre-pÃ©riphÃ©rie.
 
The economic crisis of the late 1980s brought with it the liberalisation of the services that were previously the prerogative of the state, notably urban transport. However, population growth and spontaneous urban sprawl have in turn contributed to the undermining of the urban transport system in Cameroon. This situation has led to a need for urban and peri-urban mobility which remains a concern for populations whose socio-economic activities are concentrated in the urban centre. The inadequacy, or rather, the absence, of public policies on transport means that the state is struggling to meet this need, leading to the development of a so-called 'artisanal' or â€˜craftâ€™ means of transport in Cameroonian cities such as Yaounde. This work is based on field surveys and the analysis of existing diachronic and synchronic sources on the city of Yaounde and its peri-urban localities. It shows how, despite the presence of institutional transport, 'artisanal transport' has become, for nearly two decades, the main tool to maintain centre-periphery mobility.
A Critical Study of Abba Ho PatÄ“r in Romans 8:15 in the New Revised Asante Twi Version (2018)
Authors: Asamoah Emmanuel Foster , Adjei-Fianko Diana
Published: June 2021

Bible translation is among the difficult exercises in scholarship because it demands a careful analysis of the biblical text from the source language into the target language. The religio-cultural settings and worldview of the indigenous people are also considered so that they are able to access the word of God as written and meant by the author(s). An example of Bible translation exercise is the New Revised Asante Twi Version (NRATV) 2018, which contains some translation problems. Some texts are not translated but â€œcarried whollyâ€ into the new or target language to make them look as if they form part of the native language. One of such is â€œAbba,â€ which is a HebraicAramaic word found in Romans 8:15. Since Abba is not an Asante (and Akan) language, it becomes difficult for the Asante reading community (and by extension all Akan languages) and users of the Asante-Twi Bible to understand and express the concept within their religio-cultural worldview because they do not understand the thought of the author in their language. Using exegetical, mother-tongue hermeneutics and the communicative method of translation as approaches, the study has found out that the translation of â€¦Î‘Î²Î²Î± á½ Ï€Î±Ï„Î®Ï (â€¦Abba ho PatÄ“r) as â€¦Abba, Agya (â€¦Abba, Father) in the Asante-Twi Bible (2018) should be rendered as â€œâ€¦Agya, Mâ€™agyaâ€ (Father, My Father). The study has thus added to the interpretations of Romans 8:15 in Asante-Twi. It is being recommended that in the future revision of the Asante-Twi Bible, the Bible Society of Ghana should consider using â€œâ€¦Agya, Mâ€™agyaâ€ (Father, My Father) in the translation of â€¦ Î‘Î²Î²Î± á½ Ï€Î±Ï„Î®Ï (â€¦Abba ho PatÄ“r).
Evaluation of the Opportunities for Prevention of the Periodontal Diseases Among the Pregnant Women in Tbilisi
Authors: Tevzadze Veriko , Nanobashvili Ketevan
Published: June 2021

Task: Although periodontal inflammatory diseases are very often during pregnancy, little is known about the risk factors that increase the frequency of periodontal disease incidence and affect its development during pregnancy. This descriptive study assesses the prevalence of periodontal diseases among pregnant women in Tbilisi, the impact of their socio-economic status, hygiene habits, and level of knowledge on their periodontal status. Methods: This was an observational, cross-sectional study conducted among pregnant women. The respondents were distributed by Gynecological Centers and districts in Tbilisi. The survey was conducted at 24 Gynecological Centers. The target group of the study was 222 pregnant women aged 18 to 45 living in Tbilisi. The tool used in this study is a Structured Electronic Questionnaire. The oral health of the target group representatives was assessed by periodontal indices, the CPITN-index, and OHI-Jack R.Vermillion's oral hygiene index. Data entry and statistical analysis were carried out using the statistical program SPSS 23.0. Results: The current pregnancy for most of the respondents (36%) is the second, 53.2% of the pregnant women are in the second trimester of the pregnancy, 50,5% of the respondents are bachelorsâ€™ student or have completed a bachelor's stage of the study. Due to the employment status, 47.7% of them are housewives, and 61.1% evaluate their economical condition as satisfactory; 32,9% of the respondents have dental insurance, and only 13,3% use this insurance for this purpose. 68.8% of the pregnant women address the dentist only in case of pain or discomfort, 67.3% of them have bleeding gums, 66.5% of them feel pain or discomfort in the oral cavity and 59% of them have swelling/pain in their gums. Only 9% of gynecologists recommend their patients plan a visit to the dentist. Pregnant womenâ€™s awareness about the safety of dental manipulations is also quite low and it is 22.1 %. The statistical testing of the difference due to the qualitative variables was carried out using the Pearson's chi-square method; the index of signification (p), which was less than 0.05, at (p<0.05) was considered as statistically significant.

MalgrÃ© les rÃ©sultats positifs obtenus, il reste des dÃ©fis Ã  relever pour pÃ©renniser les acquis et passer Ã  lâ€™Ã©chelle supÃ©rieure notamment lâ€™implication effective des autoritÃ©s locales dans le suivi des ouvrages dâ€™hygiÃ¨ne et dâ€™assainissement.
 
The study aims to assess the effects of the interventions implemented from 2017 to 2018 relating to the promotion of hygiene and sanitation in the municipality of ZÃ¨. Conducted in September 2019, the study involved documentary research, observation and interview. Collection was carried out in the districts benefiting from the interventions and those not benefiting. Postintervention results show that the proportion of people with good hygiene and sanitation practices increased from 31.01% to 73.08%. The proportion of women's groups involved in IEC / WASH activities increased from 0% to 87%. The morbidity rate linked to hydro-fecal diseases fell from 1.20% to 0.78%. The prevalence of soil-transmitted helminthiasis decreased from 7.10% to 0.75%. In addition, the observation made it possible to note the reduction in open defecation, the reduction in the distance separating households from a water point, the reduction in the drudgery of water for women and girls, reducing the prevalence of common diseases in beneficiary localities and empowering women in groups through the manufacture and sale of soap.

Les granitoÃ¯des de la partie Sud du batholite de FerkessÃ©dougou sâ€™Ã©tendent ou couvrent la rÃ©gion dâ€™Issia oÃ¹ ils sont reprÃ©sentÃ©s par une sÃ©rie de roches allant des granites Ã  deux micas Ã  biotite dominante aux granites Ã  deux micas Ã  muscovite dominante. Cette Ã©tude rapporte de nouveaux rÃ©sultats pÃ©trographiques et gÃ©ochimiques des granites de la rÃ©gion dâ€™Issia. Sur le plan pÃ©trographique, ils se rÃ©partissent en trois sÃ©ries granitiques Ã  savoir les granites G1, G2 et G3. Les granites G1 sont caractÃ©risÃ©s par une abondance de la biotite par rapport Ã  la muscovite et ont subi une migmatisation. Les granites G2 sont marquÃ©s par une abondance de minÃ©raux de feldspaths potassiques prÃ©sents sous forme de porphyres. Les granites G3 quant Ã  eux se distinguent par une dominance de la muscovite, suivie de la tourmaline et sont pourvus de filons de pegmatites dâ€™Ã©paisseurs centimÃ©triques Ã  mÃ©triques. Sur le plan de la chimie, les granites G1 sont faiblement peralumineux (1Ë‚A/CNKË‚1,16), les granites G2 sont moyennement peralumineux (1,14Ë‚A/CNKË‚1,18) et les G3 fortement peralumineux (A/CNKËƒ1,19). Les caractÃ¨res pÃ©trographiques et gÃ©ochimiques rattachent les granites G1 au type I et les granites G2 et G3 au type S.
 
The granitoids of the southern part of the FerkessÃ©dougou batholith located in the Issia region are represented by a series of rocks ranging from two-mica granites predominantly biotite to two-mica granites predominantly muscovite. This study reports new petrographic and geochemical results from granites in the Issia area. Petrographically, they are distributed in three (3) granitic series, namely the G1, G2 and G3 granites. G1 granites are biotitebearing and have undergone a migmatization. The G2 granites are marked by K-feldspar minerals as porphyries G3 granites are distinguishable by the abundance of muscovite and tourmaline and are associated with pegmatite veins of centimeter to metric thickness. Chemically, G1 granites are weakly peraluminous (1Ë‚A / CNKË‚1.16), G2 granites are moderately peraluminous (1.14Ë‚A / CNKË‚1.18) and G3 granites are strongly peraluminous (A / CNKËƒ1.19). These petrographic and geochemical characteristics link the G1 granites to type I granites whereas G2 and G3 granites show similarities to type S.
Krylov Methods for Large Sparse Systems: A Comprehensive Overview
Authors: Zeqiri Amanda , Malko Arben
Published: June 2021

In this paper are analyzed behavior and properties for different Krylov methods applied in different categories of problems. These categories often include PDEs, econometrics and network models, which are represented by large sparse systems. For our empirical analysis are taken into consideration size, the density of non-zero elements, symmetry/un-symmetry, eigenvalue distribution, also well/ill-conditioned and random systems. Convergence, approximation error and residuals are compared for the full version of methods, some restarted methods and preconditioned methods. Two preconditioners are considered respectively, ILU(0) and IC(0) by using at least five preconditioning techniques. In each case, empirical results show which technique is best to use based on properties of the system and are backed up by general theoretical information already found on Krylov space methods.

Published: June 2021

Parasitic intestinal diseases are widespread in the world with a higher prevalence in developing countries. They are generally a serious public health problem in tropical countries. In October 2020, a cross-sectional study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites in patients visiting Fermathe Hospital in Haiti. Data were collected on stool results with the presence of parasites and we used systematic sampling for further information regarding patients with parasitology problems. A summary field survey was also carried out in the surrounding areas with more cases recorded such as Corail, Calbasse, Fort Jacques, Center / MarchÃ© Kenscoff, Doco, and Douret for direct observations of the inventory and voluntary interviews with the residents of the area on hygiene practices. The prevalence of intestinal parasites was 31.26% and the most common species were: Endolimax nana (39.13%), followed by Blastocystis hominis (14%), Blastocystis hominis / Giardia intestinales (12.07%), Entamoeba coli (5.31%), and others like Iodamoeba butschlii, Ascaris lumbricoides or combined parasites were less than 5%. The field survey revealed a strong relationship between parasitosis and drinking water, parasitosis, and place of defecation. Although there are health centers in the area, many people use self-medication or empiric therapy. The study highlights the important causes of gastrointestinal disorders that present themselves in this hospital and confirms intestinal parasitosis as a major public health problem in Haiti.
Oral Candidiasis as a Local Adverse Effect of Inhaled Corticosteroids: What the Dental Practitioner Should Know
Authors: GÜMRÜ Birsay , AKKİTAP Melda Pelin
Published: June 2021

Inhaled corticosteroids are increasingly recommended at all stages of asthma in all age groups as a first-line treatment for controlling symptoms and minimizing oral corticosteroid dependence in chronic asthma owing to their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. Despite the fact that they are highly effective, their use can be accompanied by systemic and local adverse effects. Systemic adverse effects are infrequent, but oral candidiasis, the most common oral fungal infection, is a frequently observed local adverse effect of inhaled corticosteroid use. This adverse effect may lead to discomfort and cause reduced patient compliance. In this review, clinical findings of oral candidiasis, potential pathogenity mechanisms following such therapy along with the specific prophylactic measures that should be undertaken to minimize this adverse effect are discussed extensively.

Authors:   Yaroslavl state pedagogical university named after К. D. Ushinsky, Aleksandrova Maria V.
Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to the research of foreigners' perception of social and cultural realities of the 19th century Yaroslavl province, using travel notes of French writers and publicists Astolphe de Custine, Alexandre Dumas, Theophile Gautier as an example. The author studies specific construction and representation of the Russian provincial images, addressed to the European reader. Comparing the travelogues of foreign travellers with the Russian texts and historical sources, the author assesses the degree of influence of the author's personality on the narrative and the specifics of the perception of Russian reality by representatives of different cultures. The Yaroslavl province, which is a common location to the three texts, is a relevant example of presenting the image of Russia in the travelogue genre. The objects of the study are the descriptions by foreign authors of Yaroslavl, Rybinsk, Romanov-Borisoglebsk (Tutaev), Uglich, the countryside and the means of transportation. The study reflects the trends towards representing the features of everyday life of different Russian society strata (peasants, nobility), the specifics of the «Russian type» of appearance and Russian character, urban policy and the architectural styles of provincial towns, and the economic aspects of everyday life. The authors of the travesties under study pay attention to stories from Russian history and strive to give a coherent characteristic of the locations. The analysis of the texts reveals such features of the authors' narrative as subjectivity, imprecision, interest in ethnographic and anthropological aspects, and an emphasis on exotic aspects of Russian life for the European reader. The travelogues in question are marked by the desire to construct Russia's artistic image and create a fascinating plot, and by the influence of the author's position and personal image of the author
Post-Soviet new drama: macro- and microcosm of Konstantin Steshik
Authors:   Yaroslavl state theatre institute, Azeeva Irina V. , Perfilov Artem A. ,   Yaroslavl state theatre institute
Published: June 2021

The authors focus on the phenomenon of drama written by Konstantin Steshik, a young Belarusian playwright who writes in Russian. Describing and analysing this phenomenon is the aim of the researchers. The lack of research into the playwright's work is the reason for the novelty of the study. The relevance is determined by the demand for Steshik's plays in contemporary Russian theatre. The playwright's creative competence is proved by his numerous victories in Russian and international drama contests. The authors consider Stesik's work in the unity of the playwright's macro- and microcosm: the inner world of the characters and the circumstances they find themselves in. One of the authors' important tasks is to determine the foundation for Steshik's work. A historical and theatrical overview from Soviet Belarusian drama to the works of the authors associated with the well-known Belarusian Free Theatre association reveals not exactly the foundation, but the soil on which the phenomenon involved mainly grows. The authors note the close connection of Steshik's work to the phenomenon of post-Soviet «new drama». With its appearance on the territory of the CIS countries, social problems come to the forefront in contemporary theatre, and there arises a theme of reflection on the past, both in a positive and a negative way. In the final part of the article, the authors analyse the peculiarities of Steshik's poetics. The analysis made it possible to register the striking artistic uniqueness of the playwright's creative style. Steshik's plays clearly expand the scope of the post-Soviet «new drama». His voice stands out against the sharp social discourse of contemporary playwrights. Vivid metaphors, close to the traditions of «magic realism» literature, are mixed with psychological naturalism in an original way

El nombre de este número de la revista EAN, “Emprendimiento, Gestión Y Mejoramiento Empresarial”, sugiere el tríangulo básico del nacimiento, desarrollo y sustentabilidad de una organización, cualquiera sea su actividad económica y tamaño. El primer componente de este tríangulo, lo describen perfectamente dos de los consejeros Fundadores de la Universidad EAN: el Dr. Hildebrando Perico, cuando afirma que “el emprendimiento o la capacidad empresarial, no es otra que la fuerza espiritual impulsora para que las cosas se hagan y los acontecimientos se sucedan, según los presupuestos estratégicos que de orden social, económico y político se deseen alcanzar, por otra parte, en un medio cada vez más interdependiente en sus intereses; en palabras del Dr. Carlos Ramirez Cardona, el emprendimiento “está determinado por las personas que se distinguen como emprendedoras: empresarios e intraempresarios. El empresario es quien tiene el valor de crear, organizar y poner en marcha una empresa. Es una persona de iniciativa que crea y fomenta la creación de empresas propias. El intraempresario es esa persona que cuando trabaja en empresas ya existentes contribuye a su innovación, desarrollo y productividad”. Hoy en día, el primer tipo de emprendimiento (hacer empresa) se debe llevar a la realidad de muchas maneras: Por medio de alianzas estratégicas, franquicias, asociatividad, buscando oportunidades de negocio en las cadenas productivas, buscando ángeles inversionistas que patrocinen y se vuelvan socios de un plan de negocios; utilizando incubadoras de empresas, aprovechando las oportunidades de diferentes formas de financiamiento, entre otras. En el caso del intraempresariado, la generación de valores agregados, son el centro de acción. Estos nuevos proyectos a su vez pueden convertirse en Spin off, nuevos negocios que pueden llegar a ser empresas promisorias. Esto quiere decir, que el intraemprendedor se puede transformar en empresario.

Todas las personas, organizaciones y sociedades necesitan conocer los resultados de sus actividades y de su gestión y una de las formas universalmente aceptadas para hacerlo es evidenciándolos en datos e información del comportamiento financiero de sus operaciones.Es ahí cuando la gestion financiera toma un papel protagónico, como componente organizacional clave para “interpretar las condiciones del entorno, evaluar las alternativas para la toma de decisiones, racionalizar las inversiones y montos de financiación requerida, dentro de un marco de comprensión de las capacidades, riesgos y oportunidades“ (Perez et.al, 2009).En esta oportunidad se presentan a nuestros Stakeholders, ocho artículos que analizan un espectro actualizado, relacionado con el manejo financiero, que va desde lo personal, pasando por lo empresarial y llegando a la complejidad del enfoque económico y global de las finanzas.Para explicar el enfoque económico y global de las finanzas se presentan dos artículos: el primero realiza un análisis de la crisis financiera en el mundo y sus posibles efectos de orden financiero en Colombia, en el marco de la Teoría Económica. El segundo presenta una exposición de la teoría del equilibrio general (TEG), analizando sus rasgos generales sobre el concepto de individualismo metodológico, oferta y demanda y análisis de formación de precios; y las principales críticas que hacen vulnerable esa teoría de autores como Benetti, Cataño, Colander, Ackerman entre otros, como una base real del estudio económico.
