Scrutinizing Problems and Needs of Non-Formal Education Students on English Communication Skills
Authors: Thuratham Wadinlada
Published: July 2022

To have necessary and ready skills for careers in the 21st century, students should be given awareness of the importance of English, not only in formal but also non-formal and informal education. However, students still lack English abilities, and their English communication skills are still in need of development. Thus, this study aims to analyse the non-formal education students’ problems and needs for improving their English communication skills. The participants in this study are students from the Offices of Non-Formal and Informal Education in the eastern economic corridor (EEC), Thailand. To obtain the data, research instruments, including questionnaire and semi-structured interview were employed in the study. Then, the data were analyzed statistically by using the SPSS program to find percentage, mean and standard deviation, and the content analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data collected from the instruments employed in this study. The findings from this study demonstrated that the students had moderate problems with English communication skills. The students required “conversation in daily life” activities to develop their listening and speaking skills the most and “letter or e-mail” activities to develop their reading and writing abilities the most. Additionally, the results from semi-structured interview, yielded the teachers’ perceptions of the students’ English communication skills in various aspects. As a result, this study would provide pathways for teachers to find effective teaching methods and activities to eliminate the students’ problems and thoroughly fulfil their needs on English communication skills.

Authors: 楊婷雅 楊婷雅 , Ting-Ya Yang 張芸慈 , Yun-Cih Chang 陸怡蕙
Published: July 2022

在提倡環境友善與永續發展的聲浪中，有機農法在全球逐漸受到重視。臺灣的有機農地面積占比於21世紀快速成長，至2020年已成長至1.37%，期間多以有機稻米呈現最高占比。本研究以2015年農林漁牧普查整理而得之鄉鎮層級資料，針對臺灣地區稻農有機農法的採用率進行影響因子之分析。本研究與過往研究之主要差異在於同時考量各鄉鎮農家主要經營者及家戶成員之社會經濟特性，並同時以兩種空間計量迴歸方法－空間落遲模型 (spatial lag model)、空間誤差模型 (spatial error model) 解決有機農法採用率空間自相關性所造成之估計偏誤問題。根據全域型空間自相關統計分析結果，有機農法採用率之空間自相關指標Moran’s I值為0.366，顯示整體而言臺灣鄉鎮在有機農法採用率上有空間聚集情形。此外，由空間計量模型之估計結果，可知影響臺灣稻米有機農法 採用的因子主要為鄉鎮之經營管理者年齡組成、中高教育程度比例、全年工作日數比例，以及戶內成員之性別、教育程度及非農工作比例。本研究結果有助於日後有機農業發展相關政策之制定，進而提升政府有機農業推動之政策效益。

 

Under the notion of environmental-friendly and sustainable development, organic farming is gaining traction worldwide. In Taiwan, farmland allocated to organic farming has grown rapidly, up to 1.37% by 2020. Among different crop categories, rice has taken the largest share during the past two decades. Drawn from the 2015 Agriculture Census data at the township level, this study analyzed the determinants of the adoption rate of organic farming for rice farm households in Taiwan. This study departs from the previous research by considering the socioeconomic characteristics of both farm operators and household working population at average township levels. In addition, two spatial econometric models—spatial lag model and spatial error model—are used to deal with the estimation bias resulting from the spatial autocorrelation of organic adoption rates. The spatial autocorrelation index, Moran’s I, which is estimated from the global spatial autocorrelation analysis, equals to 0.366, indicating that there are spatial clusters in the township adoption rate of organic farming. Results from spatial econometric analyses suggest that, the proportion of major operators at different age groups, educational levels and workday groups are the major determinants of township-level adoption rates. In addition, working-age members’ gender ratio, proportion of different educational levels and portion of non-agricultural workers also explains the variations in organic adoption rate. This study provides essential references for policy design aiming at organic agriculture development in the future, which thus enhances the efficiency of organic agriculture development.

Knowledge Management activities in Ghanaian businesses: Review of literature
Authors: Amponsah Vincent
Published: July 2022

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to conduct a preliminary review of various studies and papers on KM activities in Ghanaian businesses. The review was guided by two key questions; what has been the literature on KM in Ghanaian Businesses? How have the various KM activities been applied, and in which sectors of the economy?
Methodology: The study was conducted based on an organized review of several papers searched through the various databases, including google scholar and springer link, with some inclusion and exclusion criteria. In the search, a total of 32 papers were deemed to be related to the aim of the paper. A quick scan of the abstract resulted in 20 papers best fit the criteria set and the focus was on papers that related to the KM processes and enablers and were related to the aim of the study.
Findings: The review revealed interesting findings; key among them is that the papers reviewed were dominated by studies in the public sector and specifically in the service industry, accounting for over 50% of all the articles searched. It also came up that significant challenges confronting businesses in implementing KM are lack of available KM systems, lack of leadership support, and lack of awareness of KM practices. On the issue of the KM processes that dominated the studies, it revealed that over 70% of the studies focused on KM sharing or transfer. Finally, it identified that the application of KM activities results in several benefits including innovation and business competitiveness.
Originality: The studies and papers on KM activities in Ghanaian businesses, particularly in the areas of KM processes and enablers are dominated by knowledge-sharing activities. Again, in assessing the sectors that dominated the discussion, it was evident that services sectors prevailed.
“Alguns experimentos adicionais sobre a força psíquica” de William Crookes
Authors: Hidalgo Juliana M.
Published: July 2022

Na década de 1870, o cientista britânico William Crookes investigou fenômenos então chamados “espiritualistas”, relacionando-os a uma suposta “força psíquica”. Seus resultados não foram bem recebidos pela comunidade científica. Crookes insistiu e conduziu novos experimentos, os quais relatou no artigo “Some further experiments on psychic force”. Nele comentou também sobre o embate travado com George Stokes acerca da rejeição dos seus resultados pela Royal Society. Apresentamos uma tradução desse artigo, acompanhada de comentários decorrentes da análise da correspondência entre Crookes e Stokes, bem como da análise das anotações pessoais de Crookes ao longo das investigações.

Study on social competence and educational aspirations related to emotional intelligence
Authors: Shaju Varghese P. , Agnihotri Seema
Published: July 2022

Social competence and emotional intelligence have become popular phrases in the current educational scenario. It is a kind of social intelligence that includes the ability to monitor one's feelings and emotions, discriminate among them, and utilize information to guide one's thinking and action. Emotional intelligence is a variety of non-intellectual capacities, capabilities, and abilities that impact coping with environmental demands and pressure. Education is essential for human development. But lack of institutions with sufficient infrastructural facilities, lack of competent teachers with practical communication skills in the tribal language, and lack of enough textbooks have been the leading cause of educational deprivation of some of the scheduled community members. To cope with the necessities of the modern world, the government and private schools should bring them realism in contemporary education. This paper investigates the social competence and educational aspirations related to the emotional intelligence of secondary school students. The sample size is 89 students from Private and Government schools. The researcher collected primary data from secondary school students using structured questionnaires and the secondary data from the school website and reports.

Authors: Ibañez Martin María , Martínez Cintia
Published: July 2022

La pandemia por covid-19 y la consecuente caída en el nivel de actividad económica a lo largo y ancho del planisferio han puesto en peligro numerosas empresas pertenecientes a diversos sectores económicos. Ante un contexto difícil, la toma de decisiones de política pública dirigidas al aliviar la situación de las empresas se vuelve central y, para ello, es vital contar con información sobre el nivel de endeudamiento y los factores explicativos. Este trabajo pretende avanzar en el estudio sobre ambas cuestiones, utilizando como caso de estudio el sector comercial de la ciudad de Bahía Blanca (Buenos Aires, Argentina). A partir de un relevamiento propio realizado durante el primer trimestre de 2021 y mediante la técnica de modelos logísticos ordenados en su versión generalizada, se encuentra que el perfil del responsable de la toma de decisiones en las empresas, el contexto económico y la situación financiera de corto plazo condicionan la elección de la deuda, la forma de financiamiento, y el nivel de deuda adquirido. Adicionalmente, se encuentra un alto grado de vulnerabilidad financiera en el sector reflejado en su incapacidad para sortear situaciones de riesgo utilizando estrategias propias. En palabras de Castels, el sector comercial bahiense parece estar haciendo “equilibrio sobre la cuerda floja”.

Published: July 2022

Perkembangan teknologi informasi dan jaringan komputer saat ini yang semakin pesat, belum diikuti dengan ketersediaan jaringan di wilayah-wilayah pelosok tanah air. Terkendalanya perluasan jaringan internet bisa dikarenakan faktor geografis negara Indonesia yang sangat luas dan terdiri dari kepulauan, hal ini menjadi salah satu faktor yang mempersulit pembangunan fasilitas jaringan ke seluruh pelosok tanah air. Faktor lainnya datang dari masyarakat itu sendiri, yaitu keterbatasan daya beli masyarakat untuk dapat mengakses internet. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, penulis tertarik untuk melakukan penelitian terkait perluasan jaringan internet dengan mengkombinasikan jaringan wireless dan jaringan dengan media transmisi kabel. Dusun Margosari, Kendal dipilih menjadi objek penelitian dikarenakan berdasarkan hasil survey yang telah dilakukan bahwa lokasi tersebut jauh dari layanan provider internet dan daya beli masyarakat sekitar untuk bisa mengakses internet juga masih rendah. Diharapkan hasil penelitian yang dilakukan ini bisa membantu Pemerintah setempat dalam memperluas jaringan internet serta membantu masyarakat agar bisa menikmati akses internet dengan biaya yang lebih terjangkau. Dari hasil implementasi, konfigurasi dan pengujian yang dilakukan berjalan dengan baik dan tidak ada kendala koneksi server dengan client.
Perlindungan Hukum dalam Kontrak Elektronik pada e-Commerce
Authors: Kamaluddin Kamaluddin
Published: July 2022

Kontrak elektronik merupakan dokumen hukum yang sangat penting dalam e-commerce, oleh karena di dalamnya ditentukan secara jelas hak dan kewajiban para pihak. Pada e-commerce, seperti dalam hal jual-beli online, tidak lepas dari adanya wanprestasi yang dapat merugikan salah satu pihak, sehingga bagi pihak yang dirugikan memerlukan perlindungan hukum. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian hukum dengan pendekatan yuridis normatif, yang bersifat deskriptif analitis. Data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder yang diperoleh melalui studi kepustakaan, yang kemudian dianalisis secara kualitatif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa perlindungan hukum dalam kontrak elektronik pada e-commerce belum sepenuhnya dapat dilakukan, terutama bagi barang yang nilainya tidak begitu besar, sehingga pembeli harus merelakan dan mau menerima kerugian sebagai risiko dalam transaksi elektronik. Perlu adanya itikad baik dari para pihak untuk melaksanakan kontrak dalam e-commerce. Selain itu, pelaku usaha juga perlu untuk mencantumkan ketentuan yang dapat memperkuat hak-hak konsumen, sehingga kedudukan antara pelaku usaha dan konsumen seimbang. Apabila telah terjadi wanprestasi, maka pihak yang dirugikan dapat mengajukan somasi kepada pihak yang merugikan, sebelum ditempuh melalui jalur hukum. Untuk mencegah wanprestasi dan memberikan keadilan serta kepastian hukum kepada para pihak, hukum menyediakan sanksi berupa ganti rugi, pembatalan perjanjian, dan peralihan risiko.
A Description of Game Theory
Authors: Chen Nok Ella
Published: July 2022

Game theory implies the logic of problematic situations with solutions through mathematical calculation. Since 1944, the game theory has been applied to military decisions, educational materials, and to find methods for complicated circumstances. The equilibria, different strategies to maximize surplus, and analysis of games could be inferred to assist players. The dominant strategy is the esse.ntial portion of the research to the game where the choice results in the best payoffs not affected by the other players' decisions. Closely connected to the dominant strategy, the Nash equilibrium represents the idea of the stable point where there is no profitable deviation for any player. Moreover, through calculation, the mixed strategy could be acquired, in situations when the probability of choices of all players is random, in the probability distribution. Finally, studies of shading the bid in auctions could maximize the surplus of bidders in partial auctions. The research could accommodate deliberate determinations in various games.

Authors:   University of Namibia, Pieters Wesley , Hough M N ,   University of Namibia, Gaomas M K ,   University of Namibia
Published: July 2022

Leadership has an effect on constructive or deviant behaviour and the work engagement levels of employees. Considering the current economic and social climate of Namibia, it is of utmost importance that leaders initiate and identify ways in which work engagement can be enhanced. Making use of an electronic survey (survey research), this study investigated the effects of different leadership styles on work engagement of employees in the Khomas region. An analysis of the data was done with SPSS (version 24), making use of Pearson’s correlation and Stepwise multiple regression. Work engagement reported a negative relationship with transactional and laissez-faire leadership; a positive relationship was reported with transformational leadership. Transactional (negative) and transformational (positive) leadership were found to be significant predictors of work engagement. Leaders need to avoid compulsive focus on the mistakes or failures of employees. Focusing constantly on mistakes, problems and failures may cause anxiety amongst employees and halt work engagement. Work engagement can be enhanced when leaders clearly and confidently communicate performance standards and expectations; provide praise and recognition; involve employees in decision making whilst discussing different approaches to task completion; and help to develop employees based on their individual strengths and abilities. This study may add to existing knowledge within Industrial/Organizational Psychology, leadership and interventions to improve work engagement and performance of employees.
Antibacterial and anti-biofilm properties of Aptosimum albomarginatum(Marloth& Engl.) and Dicoma schinzii(O. Hoffm.) crude methanolic extracts against S. aureus and MRSA.
Authors:   University of Namibia, Walter Sunette
Published: July 2022

Background: The effectiveness of phytomedicine is often questioned by scientists. This study therefore aimed to test crude methanolic extracts from two traditional medicinal plants currently being used in Namibia for their antibacterial and anti-biofilm activity against Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Materials and methods: Aptosimum albomarginatum (Marloth & Engl.) roots and Dicoma schinzii (O. Hoffm.) roots and leaves were used to prepare crude methanolic extracts by maceration, filtration, rotary evaporation and freeze-drying. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was used to detect flavonoids, saponins and anthraquinones in the plant material. For antibacterial activity, two S. aureus reference strains (one susceptible and one multi-drug resistant MRSA) and 10 S. aureus nasal isolates from school children were used in disk diffusion assays with crude methanolic plant extracts. The microtiter plate assay with crystal violet stain was used to determine if these extracts could inhibit and/or eradicate bacterial biofilms. Results: Aptosimum albomarginatum root extract displayed moderately antibacterial activity against five nasal isolates (one MRSA isolate) and two reference strains, of which one was multi-drug resistant MRSA. This extract was also the best biofilm inhibition agent, with highly active inhibition (86.0%) observed in S. aureus ATCC 33591 (MRSA). Dicoma schinzii root extract had moderate antibacterial activity against six nasal isolates and the two reference strains; its leaf extract was moderately active against two nasal isolates. The D. schinzii leaf extract moderately inhibited biofilms in two nasal isolates and S. aureus ATCC 25923. Flavonoids and saponins detected in both the roots and leaves of the two plants may have contributed to the extracts’ antibacterial and antibiofilm activity. Conclusion: Aptosimum albomarginatum roots and D. schinzii roots and leaves displayed anti-staphylococcal activity, indicating potential use against staphylococcal infections involving the bacteria under study. Noteworthy is both antibacterial and anti-biofilm properties of A. albomarginatum root extract against MRSA.

Authors: Liu Bowen , Dong Lu , Fan Runze
Published: July 2022

Based on AHM-CRITIC coupling weights combined with an artificial neural network to measure and study the financial risk of SMEs, the financial index system of four primary indicators and ten secondary indicators is constructed by collecting the publicly available financial report information of SMEs. The AHP matrix is obtained by the expert scoring method to calculate the subjective weights, and CRITIC calculates the objective weights, and the weights of both are coupled. The coupled weights are combined with the financial report data of LPMC to build a financial risk index model, and ANN neural network is used to predict and study the financial risk of the enterprise. The backtest curve fits the realistic data well. It can better predict the dramatic fluctuation of financial risk caused by the change of financial environment during the COVID-19 epidemic. The model is useful for SMEs to measure their own financial risks and make reasonable business decisions for the future by combining financial indicators.

The Twitter platform is a popular tool that is widely used by researchers to collect data on users’ personal lives, feelings and emotions. These data sets can be further analyzed using text mining techniques to predict the disorder of depression. There are nine symptoms of depression that are classified by American Psychiatric Association using DSM-5 criteria. The symptoms can be difficult to identify effectively. The unweighted vote ensemble is not practical for multi-class data. Therefore, this research proposes the multi-objective optimization algorithms for depressive symptom prediction modeling (MOADSP) for the weighted voting ensemble, which can improve its effectiveness compared to the singer model. The objectives of this research were 1) to find the appropriate number of features; 2) to improve the weights of the prediction models based on the recall of the class for the ensemble; and 3) to compare the performance of the single, unweighted, and weighted voting ensemble models for depressive disorder. An information gain was used to select the features. The single classification techniques used in the experiment that had their frameworks tested were the Naïve Bayes, Random Forest, and K-Nearest techniques, while the vote ensemble models used were the unweighted and weighted models. MOADSP was applied to the weighted vote ensemble models. The results showed that the best recall classifier was KNN (98.60%), and the highest recall classifier was AVG TP weighted (98.43%) for the training model. The highest recall in the class depressive classifier was AVG TP weighted (80.00%) for the testing. This proposed method was beneficial for the prediction of depressive disorder.
Fractionalization of MENA Countries in Political Economy Categories
Authors: Alhanaqth Omar Jraid
Published: July 2022

The article dwells on configuring Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries in three political economy dimensions: population, gross national income per capita in current international dollars converted by purchasing power parities (per capita GNI PPP), and human development measured by the Human Development Index (HDI). Furthermore, the relationship between the mentioned dimensions and self-reported life satisfaction as well as the Index of Happiness is analyzed. The author conducts comparative analysis of diversity within a target region, shows where it fits on the world scale, and focuses on drawbacks in the data. The author concludes that the MENA region is a volitile cluster from the standpoint of safety, political rationality, and living standards. Armed clashes, technogenic accidents, the refugee problem in coping with the trend of demographic growth will put extra stress on the national economies of states and create great challenges for the governments.
