Authors: Nanyondo Joanitah , Byakika Stellah , Mukisa Ivan Muzira
Published: September 2023

There is an increasing demand for functional food products developed from local resources. In this work, Lactobacillus (Lb.) rhamnosus yoba 2012 and Streptococcus thermophilus were used to produce a soy-soursop probiotic yogurt. Soy milk was supplemented with soursop pulp in amounts of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%. The mixtures were pasteurized at 85 °C for 15 s, cooled, inoculated with a starter and incubated at 45 °C for 24 h. Samples were taken at 0, 2, 4, 6 and 24 hours for analysis of pH, acidity, and Lb. rhamnosus yoba 2012 counts. Consumer acceptability and willingness to purchase were determined after 24 h of fermentation. The most acceptable sample was analyzed for nutritional composition. Lb. rhamnosus grew in the soy-soursop yogurt up to 8.1-9.3 log cfu/mL. The highest cell growth was observed in yogurt containing 5% soursop whereas the lowest was observed in yogurt containing 15% soursop. Yogurt pH reduced to 3.9-4.4, with 15% soursop having the lowest pH (p<0.05). Titratable acidity increased to 0.6%-0.9% lactic acid. All the yogurts were accepted although those containing 15% soursop had the lowest scores (5 = neither like nor dislike). There were no yeasts, molds or coliforms detected during the 21 days of cold storage (4 ℃) of all the yogurt. Therefore, adding soursop to soymilk produces a satisfactory probiotic soy-soursop yogurt.

Published: September 2023

Modelling and forecasting the volatility of a financial time series has become essential in many economic and financial applications like portfolio optimization and risk management. The symmetric-GARCH type models can capture volatility and leptokurtosis. However, the models fail to capture leverage effects, volatility clustering, and the thick tail property of high-frequency financial time series. The main objective of this study was to apply the asymmetric-GARCH type models to Kenyan exchange to overcome the shortcomings of symmetric-GARCH type models. The study compared the asymmetric Conditional Heteroskedasticity class of models: EGARCH, TGARCH, APARCH, GJR-GARCH, and IGARCH. Secondary data on the exchange rate from January 1993 to June 2021 were obtained from the Central Bank of Kenya website. The best fit model is determined based on parsimony of the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), Log-Likelihood criterion, and minimisation of prediction production errors (Mean error [ME] and Root Mean Absolute error [RMAE]). The optimal variance equation for the exchange rates data was APARCH (1,1) - ARMA (3,0) model with a skewed normal distribution (AIC = -4.6871, BIC = -4.5860). Volatility clustering was present in exchange rate data with evidence of the leverage effect. Estimated Kenya’s exchange rate volatility narrows over time, indicating sustained exchange rate stability.
Framing and Group Polarisation in Hate Speeches in Nigeria
Authors: Ugwu Justus Chidi , Nnnamani Obiageli C.
Published: September 2023

Since the Nigerian Civil War in 1970, there has been a mutual suspicion among its three major ethnic groups, Hausa (in the North), Igbo (East) and Yoruba (West). This is not only manifest in their socio-political life but has also generated strife and hate speech, typified by context-sensitive strategies. This paper highlights the key group-motivated strategies of framing and polarisation utilized in the hate speeches raised by different groups in the Nigerian political discourse. The 2017 Kaduna declaration by a northern union (Arewa Youths), threatening to evict the Igbo living in the northern region, and response texts from other unions to the declaration constitute the data. These were subjected to content analysis with insights from van Dijk’s Ideological Representation and Halliday and Matthiessen’s Transitivity Theory. The findings reveal a self-preservationist frame, which is polarised in the Self/Other pattern.

On becoming edGe-ucated
Authors: Fox G. Thomas
Published: September 2023

In his 55 years as an educator, G. Thomas Fox has taught elementary school, researched educational policy and practice at primary school through university levels, and guided teachers and other educators as they researched their own professional settings. He has done this work in three countries: the U.S., England, and Iceland. In the past three decades he has drawn attention to much research showing that untrained citizens of the world have engaged successfully with frontiers in the sciences and other expert fields of inquiry and explained what it can mean for education. He calls the processes that are applied for the untrained to understand and engage with expert unknowns, “edGe-ucating.”

Fox tells stories that show how his teaching and researching experiences could rarely be considered edGe-ucating -- and explains why in terms of the abilities shown by his students and educational colleagues that he had not realized they had. He then describes and analyzes how others, primarily from the sciences and other fields of inquiry, have achieved edGe-ucating through a range of its possible manifestations. Thus, the process certainly is often gainfully harnessed, but outside what we normally classify as education. Combining what he has learned about edGe-ucating with experiences others have reported, he suggests how edGe-ucating can be more intentionally accomplished through integrating education with the fields of expert inquiry – institutionally as well as procedurally. The secret for such an integration, he suggests, is in acknowledging the human capacity to deal with uncertainty. That is what makes engaging with expert unknowns possible at all levels of schooling along with other settings requiring problems solving. And he argues that schools should take note.

The excitement found in this book is both in how educating occurs within the challenges of classroom teaching and in the work of bringing research into educational settings. The passion shared is about the new opportunities that could be created for individuals, cultures, societies, and fields of inquiry if all citizens were working at the frontiers of expert unknowns – with or without schooling.

The book thus endeavors to present a novel and refreshing view of education showing how students, at all ages, can gainfully be taken directly to the constantly advancing frontiers of knowledge. The journey also presents the reader with a profound and critical view of important aspects of educational research and graduate training and thereby bringing to life the bond between education and research.
Sayed`s Theory of Everything (S-TOE): The Acting Unified Forces in the Universe for Cosmological and Subatomic Scale
Authors: El-Mongy Sayed Ali
Published: September 2023

Allah, the Creator, is the only Singular Super Force. A unified theory for the major forces gravity, weak, electromagnetic and strong nuclear forces is an intractable challenge to the scientists. This article is an innovative theory for unification of all forces in the universe; S-TOE. My published theory on quantum gravity was the first step. The main parameters and equations of the starting spherical singularity bubble of the early universe; acceleration, wavelength, radius, pressure and speed, were simply derived; named Sayed`s unified forces formula (SUFF). The violation of light speed at the early beginning of universe was dramatically found; 3.93 x 1027 m/s. The wavelength (λ) was also calculated and found to be 1.321 x 10-15 m. The difference, between the calculated force (9.29x1024 N) using SUFF and the Planck force (1.2103 x 1044 N) is might be due to contribution of other predicted forces. The calculated acceleration matches with Planck acceleration. Uniquely in this theory, the dark matter, dark energy and antimatter are among the acting forces control the universe. The Sayed`s forces diagram (SFD) is postulated and given. The anti-force term and concept is introduced to describe the opposite role of dark energy and matter. All the mentioned forces work together to keep the universe stable, expandable and equilibrium. Finally, it can be stated that some of the major universal constants need essential revision.
pacto de veridicción en el biopic Isabel
Authors: Delgado Pérez María Mercedes
Published: September 2023

El estado español ha sido edificado sobre una serie de hitos históricos, de los cuales, al menos dos, ocurrieron bajo el reinado de Isabel I de Castilla entre los años 1451 y 1504: nos referimos a la conquista del reino nazarí de Granada y al descubrimiento de América, ambos en 1492. Este reinado, del que queda aún abundante literatura jurídica de la época, así como todo tipo de materiales escritos, ya ha sido retratado por la literatura y, en menor medida, recreado por el cine. Este trabajo busca analizar y contrastar la reconstrucción audiovisual de Isabel de RTVE (2012-2014) y la obra histórica: en concreto abordaremos la relación problemática entre realidad y reconstrucción narrativa visual a partir de Historia de los Reyes Moros de Granada, de Hernando de Baeza, en cuya obra jamás ha reconocido formalmente basarse la ficción. Para ello, utilizamos una lógica descriptiva-argumentativa y un análisis narrativo con metodología mixta. De entre las conclusiones destacamos que la estructura narrativa es portadora de ideología imperial, con aspectos deliberadamente falseados o erróneos, que buscan fortalecer un imaginario colectivo nacional sobre las bondades del reinado y que buscan cierta espectacularización desde lo visual alejándose de lo verosímil.

Jean Painlevé, autor de referencia europeo para el desarrollo del documental surrealista de naturaleza
Authors: Martínez Armas Ignacio
Published: September 2023

Jean Painlevé (1902-1989) fue un autor de documentales de naturaleza cercano a la vanguardia cinematográfica y a la biología. Este trabajo presenta al autor y a su obra en lengua española y propone que es una referencia para el estudio de una rama surrealista de la historia del documental de naturaleza. Para ello, se realiza un estado de la cuestión a nivel hispano hablante y una breve biografía centrada en la relación del autor con la vanguardia. A continuación, a través de una genealogía estética que tiene a Painlevé como centro, se muestra como su estética no surge de forma espontánea, sino como parte de una red de autores que tiene un acercamiento técnico similar al documental de naturaleza. A este acercamineto se le llama el documental surrealista de naturaleza y las tres técnicas definitorias estudiadas en este artículo son la microcinematografía, las alteraciones temporales y el uso de laboratorios para las grabaciones.

Published: September 2023

The aim of the research was to evaluate effects of different rootstocks and management practices to counteracting replant disease in an apple orchard. The experiment was conducted in the Experimental Orchard of the National Institute of Horticultural Research in Dąbrowice, Poland, in 2014–2020. Apple trees of the cultivar ‘Ligolina’ were planted in autumn of 2013 at spacing of 3.8 × 1.4 m in the rows of an apple orchard that had been grubbed up in spring. The following experimental setups were used: (i) two types of rootstocks of different growth vigour (M.9, P14); (ii) replacement of soil in rows of trees with virgin soil; (iii) fertigation with ammonium phosphate; (iv) control (cultivation in the exhausted soil). Replantation significantly limited the growth of apple trees by reducing the cross- sectional area of the tree trunk, and the number and length of annual shoots. Fruit yields of apple trees grown on the replantation site were significantly lower than those of the trees grown in virgin soil. The use of ammonium phosphate fertigation had a positive effect on the growth and yield on the replantation site, especially when it was combined with the use of a stronger-growing rootstock (P14). The most effective environmentally friendly method of eliminating the apple replant disease is the replacement of the exhausted soil with virgin soil, i.e. soil that has not been used for growing fruit trees before.

Authors: Treder Waldemar , Klamkowski Krzysztof , Wójcik Katarzyna , Tryngiel-Gać Anna
Published: September 2023

A machine learning model was developed to support irrigation decisions. The field research was conducted on ‘Gala’ apple trees. For each week during the growing seasons (2009–2013), the following parameters were determined: precipitation, evapotranspiration (Penman–Monteith formula), crop (apple) evapotranspiration, climatic water balance, crop (apple) water balance (AWB), cumulative climatic water balance (determined weekly, ΣCWB), cumulative apple water balance (ΣAWB), week number from full bloom, and nominal classification variable: irrigation, no irrigation. Statistical analyses were performed with the use of the WEKA 3.9 application software. The attribute evaluator was performed using Correlation Attribute Eval with the Ranker Search Method. Due to its highest accuracy, the final analyses were performed using the WEKA classifier package with the J48graft algorithm. For each of the analysed growing seasons, different correlations were found between the water balance determined for apple trees and the actual water balance of the soil layer (10–30 cm). The model made correct decisions in 76.7% of the instances when watering was needed and in 87.7% of the instances when watering was not needed. The root of the classification tree was the AWB determined for individual weeks of the growing season. The high places in the tree hierarchy were occupied by the nodes defining the elapsed time of the growing season, the values of ΣCWB and ΣAWB.

Authors: Stefan Denise Rocha , Telles Lisieux Elaine de Borba
Published: September 2023

O diagnóstico dos transtornos de personalidade é ainda hoje de difícil identificação pelos psiquiatras. Segundo a classificação estatística internacional de doenças e problemas relacionados com a saúde, o CID, um transtorno específico de personalidade é uma perturbação grave na constituição do caráter e das tendências comportamentais do indivíduo. No que diz respeito ao transtorno de antissocial de personalidade, também chamado de psicopatia, o indivíduo geralmente apresenta uma diferença grande entre o comportamento e as normas sociais predominantes. Os sintomas se caracterizam por uma indiferença insensível pelos sentimentos alheios, além de irresponsabilidade e desrespeito por normas, regras e obrigações sociais.

Constitutional and Political crisis in Israel: Revision of the idea of a national Jewish State
Authors: Krotov Andrei Vladislavovich
Published: September 2023

In modern states, the process of "ideological search" has the property of permanence, while the activation of such a process, as a rule, is one of the symptoms of the constitutional and political crisis in the sphere of state-building. In newly formed states, the process of forming state ideology is becoming particularly relevant, which is due to the need to establish the state as a special political institution, determine the goals of its existence, ensure stable development, and form a national legal system. The article examines the reasons for the activation of the processes of "ideological search" in the state of Israel, their relationship with the national constitutional and political crisis of 2023, analyzes the prospects for the development of the state of Israel as a national Jewish state. The use of a systematic, functional, historical research method, the study of the scientific works of P. A. Astafichev, A.V. Polyakov, B. S. Ebzeev, F. Hayek, S. Huntington, P. Anderson and other authors, allowed to formulate the author's interpretation of a number of terms: national ideology; constitutional ideology; state ideology; ideology of the ruling group. The author hypothesizes the following reasons for the constitutional and political crisis in the State of Israel: 1. an unsuccessful attempt to combine two opposites, liberal democratic values of the Western world with archaic provisions of Judaism; 2. the presence of the Lapierre paradox. The attitudes of ethnocentrism, actively imposed by the state authorities and based on references to the common history (of Jews), religious rituals of Judaism, do not correspond to the real behavior of the population of the country, its values, needs and interests, are in contradiction with the constitutional and national ideology; 3) the crisis of the idea of the nation-state. It is proposed to single out as the ideological functions of the state: guaranteeing ideological freedom; ensuring the implementation of national and constitutional ideology; prohibiting the extreme form of ideology that affects the "viability" of the state, changing its most essential features. In conclusion, the author's vision of the vector of evolution of national states is also presented.
How Systematic is the Binyanim “System” in Biblical Hebrew?
Authors: Cook John
Published: September 2023

The question of how systematic the Biblical Hebrew binyanim system is concerns both the pedagogy and the scholarly study of the language. Introductory grammars often, if inadvertently, present the binyanim to students as containing more complete and more predictable meaning relations than there actually are. Grammars and scholarly studies of the binyanim tend to operate with an assumption that the same root in a different binyan must have a different semantic-syntactic character, even if it requires some effort to tease it out with finely, if not always convincing, nuanced explanations. Following the model in Maya Arad’s examination of the binyanim in Modern Hebrew based in Distributed Morphology, I examine how complete and systematic the semantic-syntactic interrelationships among binyanim in Biblical Hebrew are and suggest implications from the study for pedagogy, studies of the binyanim, and valency analysis of Biblical Hebrew verbs.
Using Internet Access for Service Continuity amid the Covid-19 Pandemic in the North West Provincial Public Libraries of South Africa
Authors: Ledwaba Lesiba Stephen
Published: September 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic has exposed the many ICT infrastructural challenges entrenched in community libraries. This study determined how public libraries in the North West Province of South Africa could use internet access to continue the provision of information services to clients amid the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond. This was guided by key research objectives, namely to ascertain the status of internet access in North West provincial public libraries; determine the effect of the Covid-19 lockdown on services in North West provincial public libraries; and identify ways to use technology for service continuity in these libraries. The study adopted a quantitative research approach and employed a survey design. A questionnaire was used to collect data from a purposive sample of 15 public libraries in the North West Province. This sample was derived from a population of 123 community libraries falling under the provincial Department of Arts, Culture, Sports and Recreation. The findings revealed that there was a lack of funding to develop and support the ICT infrastructure in community libraries. It was further revealed that most of the province’s community libraries did not have access to the internet due to expired contracts with internet service providers (ISPs). Furthermore, the study revealed a lack of business continuity planning in community libraries. The study recommended that the province provide funding to community libraries for the development and maintenance of ICT infrastructure. The development of a central point in the province to manage internet access to community libraries was further recommended. It was further recommended that community libraries develop business continuity plans in consultation with stakeholders.
Management of Land Resettlement Records in a Rural Village in Zimbabwe
Authors: Mahlangu Theresa , Bhebhe Sindiso
Published: September 2023

Land records are considered proof of ownership, right to land ownership, and boundaries. Land records provide two types of important evidence. First, they often document family relationships. Second, they place individuals in a specific time and place. This study sought to examine the management of land resettlement records in one of the rural districts in Zimbabwe (this rural district will be anonymously referred to as the “Village”). The research problem was triggered by the heirs of a late neighbour who were on the verge of losing their homestead due to lack of documentation stating the ownership of their acquired land. It remains uncertain whether proper records management practices are being adhered to in this rural village.  Therefore, this article sought to determine the types of records created at this village. Furthermore, the article meant to establish the processes and procedures involved in the management of land resettlement records at this village and also to identify if there are challenges faced in the management of such and what these are. The constructivism paradigm and a qualitative research methodology were applied. A case study design was used. The findings revealed that the records were kept at the village clerk’s homestead. The major challenges identified were the lack of proper records management systems, the lack of storage facilities, the invisibility of the governmental archival support structures such as the National Archives of Zimbabwe and trained records officers. The study recommends a collaboration between the National Archives of Zimbabwe, the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Water, Climate and Rural Resettlement and the Ministry of Local Government, Public Works and National Housing, including the Village being researched, so as to train them about proper records management practices.
Limpopo Provincial Archives Public Programming Initiatives from 2015 to 2020

Published: September 2023

Public archival repositories house records of value to society. Even though such records are essential, these institutions remain largely unknown and underutilised. For this reason, public programming initiatives have become a necessary function in public archives. The Limpopo Provincial Archives was officially opened in 2015, but recent records show that only a few people engage with the records at this repository. The repository has conducted various public programming initiatives to raise awareness about the archives since its establishment. However, since 2015 there has been no effort to evaluate the effectiveness of these initiatives. This study, therefore, aimed to assess the effectiveness of these public programming initiatives at this repository starting from 2015 up to 2020. A mixed-method approach to data collection was applied to gain information to address the objectives of this study. Participants in the study included 14 archivists and 100 community members. The study’s findings revealed that though the archivists had engaged in various public programming initiatives, more people did not engage with the archives. Challenges such as budget constraints and government red tape further complicated the archivists’ efforts. The study recommends measures such as collaboration, perfecting advocacy skills, and soft power to strengthen the repository’s public programming strategy.
Factors Influencing the Failure to Manage Official Email Records by the Central Government of Zimbabwe

Published: September 2023

Email has emerged as one of the most important and frequently used business records in almost all types of business organisations. This has been due to the advantages inherent in email such as low cost, speed of transmission and ease of use as well as opportunities brought about by the adoption of the electronic government programme. Nevertheless, many organisations face challenges when it comes to managing email as an official record where email messages are captured into the record-keeping system of the organisation, classified, appraised and preserved for future use and reference, and appropriately destroyed when no longer needed. This study seeks to promote the economic, efficient and effective management of email as official records in Zimbabwe’s central government. The case of Zimbabwe’s central government was used and 12 out of 22 head offices of government ministries participated in the study. Using a mixed methods research approach with an explanatory sequential research design, the study collected data using structured questionnaires and open-ended interviews. The study revealed that many government ministries failed to properly manage email as official records due to lapses in the regulatory, policy and procedural frameworks as well as due to skills and infrastructural deficiencies, among other factors. If no urgent efforts are effected, a lot of email records will be lost, thereby compromising accountability, transparency and informed decision-making in Zimbabwe’s central government. The study recommends that Zimbabwe’s central government should channel requisite material, financial and human resources as well as craft legal, policy and procedural frameworks in order to make email a useful record of choice worth its salt.
Collection Development Strategies for Electronic Resources in Two Selected University Libraries in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Authors: Jiyane Glenrose Velile , Majola Ncamisile
Published: September 2023

Purpose: Electronic resources have become critical and instrumental for academic work in the technological era and, as such, useful for students and researchers. This study reports on collection development as a strategy for electronic resources.
Design/methodology/approach: An interpretivist research paradigm was adopted, followed by a qualitative research approach. A case study research design was deemed appropriate for the study. The target population comprised librarians from two academic libraries in KwaZulu-Natal. The study employed purposive sampling and used semi-structured interviews to collect data from the participants. Due to Covid-19 regulations, these interviews were conducted online using Google Teams. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data collected.
Findings: The findings revealed that both universities provide different types of electronic resources to support teaching, learning, and research activities. The electronic resources provided in the two selected academic libraries included online databases, e-books, e-journals, e-references, e-magazines, and videos from the JoVE databases and packages. The findings showed that these academic libraries encounter major challenges with limited library budgets and high subscription costs of e-resources. The study recommends that adequate funding to acquire more e-resources should be allocated, and that the consortium must become more involved in the process of purchasing electronic resources so that cost could be shared.
Research limitations/implications: This study focused on librarians in two institutions, excluding the management and executive management of these institutions, which are planners and decision-makers influencing finance and some processes.
Practical implications: Electronic resources subscribed to by academic libraries play an important part in addressing different user information needs. With the emergence of information and communication technology (ICT), academic libraries strive to remain relevant in their collection development through the provision of electronic resources. The research offered librarians additional collection development strategies through electronic resources that they can adopt in order to provide sound collections to their users, regardless of financial constraints.
Originality/value: The study investigated enhancing collection development through electronic resources as a strategy in the selected academic libraries in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It may serve as a valuable resource for academic librarians in carrying out the effective collection development of electronic resources, as currently, world development is driven by technology. It also adds to the body of knowledge in the field of electronic resources, academic librarianship, and information science.
Genders, Sexualities and Cities: Global Contexts and Local Possibilities
Authors: Mabin Alan , Shefer Tamara
Published: September 2023

This article is primarily a review of international research-based literatures that explore the three areas of genders, sexualities and cities and the intersections between them. Its purpose is to explore the ways in which diverse literatures bring gender and sexuality studies to the city, and city studies to exploration of genders and sexualities. The article intends to locate this special issue, informing those interested in widening the field, and generating new questions for conceptualisation, research and writing in the coming decades. It draws cautiously on global conceptualisation of the issues, then sets out a variety of approaches including feminist, gay, queer and related perspectives. It moves on to the ways in which gender and sexualities research might contribute to “better cities”. The article also outlines contributions to this special issue of the journal on “Genders, sexualities and place: (Re)Imagining and (re)making urban spaces”, relating them to themes in global literature.

O objetivo desta pesquisa é o de analisar e conhecer os fatores que contribuem e que dificultam no processo de aquisição da escrita. A importância em investigar essa temática se deve ao fato dos discentes, principalmente da rede pública, apresentarem muitas dificuldades na utilização da escrita. Para analisar essa realidade nos baseamos nos estudos de alguns teóricos da educação como Teberosky (1985), Ferreiro (1987), Vygotsky (1979), dentre outros. A partir desses estudos pudemos perceber que antes de qualquer coisa o docente deve ter em mente que a escrita é uma atividade comunicativa e que desempenha funções definidas e cada vez mais diversificadas no cotidiano de uma sociedade letrada.
