Published: March 2024

A flavonoids-rich extract and seven flavonoids from the leaves and heartwoods of A. anisophyllus Miq. and A. lowii King were investigated for their inhibitory effects against acetylcholinesterase enzyme. The flavonoids were fully characterized spectroscopically as artocarpin (1), isobavachalcone (2), pyranocycloartobiloxanthone A (3), 5,7-dihydroxy-4'-methoxy-6-prenylflavanone (4), 5-hydroxy-7,8-(2,2-dimethylchromano)-4'-methoxy-flavanone (5) 4',5-dihydroxy-6,7-(2,2-dimethylpyrano)-2'-methoxy-8-γ,γ-dimethylallylflavone (6) and 2',4'-dihydroxy-3,4-(2",2"-dimethylchromeno)-3'-prenyldihydrochalcone (7). Acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of the samples was determined using TLC plate with bioactivity staining based on the Ellman’s method. Pyranocycloartobiloxanthone A (3) exhibited an excellent inhibitory activity with detection limit at 7.81 µg/mL.

Published: March 2024

The objectives are to derive the stability analysis theoretically and to set up the stability analysis numerically for radiation effects on Marangoni convection boundary layer over a permeable surface. The stability analysis is used to determine which branch solutions are stable and physically realisable. The stability can be tested via the smallest eigenvalue. Negative smallest eigenvalue produces an initial growth of disturbance and the flow becomes unstable. In contrast, the positive smallest eigenvalue results in an initial decay of the disturbance, thus the flow is stable. The research has an implication in order to identify which solution is stable, whether the first or the second solution.

For decades, solar energy as one of the endless energy sources has become the most public preference as a means to accommodate space heating. Various studies on solar thermal technologies have been worked out to replace outdated systems. However, conventional solar thermal systems offer two drawbacks such as diffuse solar radiation conditions that can lead to insufficient heating during the winter and autumn, and limitations of the solar collector orientation that need to be opposed at a correct tilted angle towards maximize the performance of the system. Previous study had proposed an integrated design that consists of the evacuated tube and pre-heating double pass flow thermal absorber arrangement namely Evacuated Glass-Thermal Absorber Tube Collector (EGATC) to overcome these problems. Therefore, this research has discussed further on the formulated mathematical equation of the design. EGATC components used to convert solar radiation into heat that stabilized and increased the outlet temperature were evacuated glass, thermal absorber and working fluid. The equation related to each component were developed based on the first law of thermodynamic. The combination of developed equation forms a solar thermal collector model for the system.

Previous studies have reported the use of nitrogen-heterocyclic compounds to treat malaria. Interestingly, quinolone and 1,2,4-triazole scaffolds demonstrated an outstanding capacity to target at least two stages of the malaria parasite life cycle, especially when they are hybrid with other nitrogen heterocycles. Thus, the objective of this study is to assess the drug susceptibility of Plasmodium knowlesi A1H1 parasites to certain 1,2,4-triazoles and benzoquinones that bear pyrrolidinones using a plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase assay. All synthesized compounds showed moderate activity against P. knowlesi A1H1 with EC50 values in the range of 13.39-28.85 μM. Both 1,2,4-triazoles and quinolone derivatives were synthesized using commercially available pyrrolidinones.

Published: March 2024

This study examined the perceptions of Genetics among science students with implications for science education in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The non-experimental design of a descriptive survey type was adopted in this study. Sample comprised 351 Biology students selected randomly from four senior secondary schools. Data were collected using an instrument titled “Genetics Perceptions Questionnaire (GPQ) (r = .70)”, and analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistical approaches of mean, rank order, frequency counts and percentages, and independent-sample t-test, at 0.05 alpha level. Findings showed that while the majority (88.9%, 312 > 11.1%, 39) of science students perceived Genetics to be interesting, yet, they listed a lack of Biology laboratory for practical classes (x = 1.66, rated 1), not enough time to learn (x = 1.60, rated 2), and teacher’s poor teaching method (x = 1.56, rated 3), as factors affecting their effective learning of Genetics. Also, it was found that while there exists a significant difference (t = -3.11; df = 349; p<0.05) in the students’ perceptions of Genetics being interesting based on gender. However, there exists no significant difference (t = .579; df = 349; p<0.05) in their perceptions of the factors affecting the learning of Genetics, based on gender. It was recommended, among others, that Biology educators adopt innovative approaches of the 21st century in teaching Genetics.

Published: March 2024

Anacardium occidentale, locally known as “pokok gajus” is known for its medicinal purposes. The objectives of this study are to isolate compounds from the stem bark extract of A. occidentale and to study the antioxidant properties of the extracts. Cold maceration method was performed for the extraction of A. occidentale stem bark. Purification of the crude extracts using column chromatography successfully isolated two compounds. The isolated compounds were elucidated using spectroscopic methods including Fourier Transform Infrared and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy. These compounds were identified as stearic acid and β-sitosterol. The antioxidant potential of the crude extracts was determined using a 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay. The results revealed that methanol extract was most effective in the capability to scavenge free radicals as it exhibited the highest radical scavenging activity towards DPPH with an IC50 value of 87.67 µg/mL. Total phenolic content and total flavonoid content of the extracts were measured. Both total phenolic and flavonoid contents showed a good correlation with the antioxidant activity indicated that both compounds were the major contributors to the antioxidant capacity of the extracts. Based on the findings, A. occidentale can be considered as an effective source of natural antioxidants.

Let a pair be functional calculus, where is a homomorphism from the space of the measurable functions on into the space of all linear bounded operators on a reflexive Banach space . We define a norm of functional calculus by , the convergence of the sequence of functional calculi is a convergence relative to this norm. We study the correspondence between sequences of spectral decompositions, well-bounded operators defined on the reflexive Banach space , and their correspondence with the theory of functional calculus for such operators. In this article, we establish that if a sequence of the projection-valued measures strongly converges to then the sequence of the functional calculi converges to the functional calculus Results of the article can be employed in the modern extensions of the quantum theory and theory of quantum information.

Published: March 2024

Images and metaphors have a significant impact on indigenous students' mathematical knowledge. Several studies on indigenous education have found that indigenous students have very different ideas about learning mathematics. In this regard, research on images of mathematics and metaphors related to mathematics learning held by indigenous students is considered distinct and novel in relation to past research. The purpose of this case study is to investigate indigenous students' mathematical images and metaphors in Pahang, Malaysia. A purposive sampling technique was used to collect data digitally, and descriptive analysis was performed on the responses of thirty-one indigenous students. The use of images and metaphors as constructions gives a glimpse into how students view themselves as mathematics learners and what they do while learning mathematics. Furthermore, images and metaphors help in the construction of meaning for abstract mathematical concepts because they connect to a variety of different senses. The findings of the study suggest that most indigenous students believe that knowledge of mathematics comes from the Creator. Humans, in particular, construct knowledge based on their reasoning, sensory experience, and guidance from the Creator. The results of the study could be used in the future to promote quality education for indigenous students

In the present article, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique bounded solution using a prominent fixed-point theorem for the non-linear initial value problem involving the recently introduced Hilfer nabla fractional difference operator.

where 0 <ℵ<1, 0 ≤ ß ≤1, ι =ℵ+ ß −ℵß and j : Nx × Rn →Rn. We also analyze the Ulam-Hyers stability of the considered problem and make some interesting observations on the dependence of its solutions on initial conditions and parameters. Finally, we conclude this article by constructing suitable examples to illustrate the applicability of established results.
The Neglected Legacy and Harms of Epistemic Colonising: Linguicism, Epistemic Exploitation, and Ontic Burnout
Authors: Dunne Gerry
Published: March 2024

Abstract This paper sets out to accomplish two goals. First, drawing on the Irish perspective, it reconceptualises one of the enduring legacy-based harms of epistemic colonisation, in this case, ‘linguicism’, in terms of ‘hermeneutical injustice’.
Second, it argues that otherwise well-meaning attempts to combat epistemic colonisation through the inclusion of marginalised testimony can, in certain circumstances, lead to cases of ‘epistemic exploitation’, which, in turn, can result in ‘ontic burnout’. Both linguicism
and epistemic exploitation, this paper theorises, have the potential to bring about ontic burnout. Here is the plan: to set the scene, section I briefly surveys some key arguments supporting the call for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to engage in epistemic decolonising, focusing on
the importance of striking a balance between two extremes: (i) abandoning all forms of Eurocentric/colonial knowledge through the elimination of inherited thinking and conceptual schemes which result from colonisation, in particular, those which remain in our thinking “owing to inertia
rather than to our own reflective choices”; (ii) the other – pursuing a more positive project where we seek to, “exploit as much as is judicious the resources of indigenous conceptual schemes”. From here, it moves to consider harms associated with a subset of ‘epistemicide’,
that is, ‘linguicism’ – a phenomenon where the language and culture of the coloniser become part of the ‘civilising project’ and, in more extreme cases of linguicide, forcibly replaces indigenous languages. Section II then explores the subtleties of harmful by-products
deriving from ‘inclusion’, namely that which scholars refer to as ‘epistemic exploitation’. Situations where marginalised scholars are finally ‘at the table but still on the menu’ arise when privileged persons, compel marginalised knowers to educate them
[and others] about the nature of their oppression. Habitual requests to turn themselves inside out for emancipatory principles give rise to a phenomenon known as ontic burnout – “a form of dissociative explanatory fatigue culminating in oppressed persons engaging in a conscious
or unconscious decoupling from their socially constructed identity, from the burdens and injustices associated with being a member of a certain social kind”. This harm is, I argue, rarely discussed in the literature and worthy of further analysis.
Ukrainian Refugees: (Un)Deservingness and the Politics of Exclusion
Authors: Herat Manel
Published: March 2024

Abstract In the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian citizens have been displaced and made homeless. This has led to Ukrainians having to flee their homes to find refuge in neighbouring countries. Individuals escaping
war or persecution are very rarely constructed positively. However, unusually, this was a phenomenon evident during the Ukrainian crisis, when ‘white’ people fleeing the war in Ukraine were represented by the Western media, politicians and journalists as more deserving of the world’s
compassion and care than other non-white refugees of warfare. At the same time, it also revealed the resurgence of hidden white supremacy in the face of a global humanitarian crisis,1 illustrating how the Western media and some Europeans conceptualise and perceive different people
seeking protection from violence and conflict. This paper utilises media broadcasts and newspaper reports to interrogate the reproduction of notions of colonialism drawing on perspectives from postcolonial theory and critical discourse analysis. The findings reveal that Europe typically imagines
refugees from colonial lenses, constructing deficit identities for them as coming from poor, under-developed countries and using their colour as a means of exclusion, which enables the West to secure and solidify a racially hegemonic global order. The findings also show that dominant institutions
and value systems situate ‘whiteness’ as a ‘common sense’ notion. Therefore, the research concludes that in order to achieve coloniality, higher education Institutions must dismantle the structures that position ‘whiteness’ as normative in institutional
contexts and promote equality and sustainability through policies and practices that integrate and provide all refugees with access to higher education and subsequently the labour market that will benefit both the host countries and the refugees themselves.
Global Health and Decolonisation in Higher Education: Examining the Attitudes, Perceptions and Possibilities of Educators

Published: March 2024

Abstract Globally, there have been numerous calls to decolonise Global Health, most of them focusing on research-related practices while less attention has been given to Global Health education. The aim of this paper is to explore the perceptions and the meanings attributed
to the decolonisation of Global Health education by Global Health educators from higher education institutions in both the Global North and Global South. To do so, we used a descriptive cross-sectional study using a mixed-method design approach. An online structured questionnaire was sent
out in the second half of 2022 to 18 Global Health educators from both the Global South and the Global North to understand what the decolonisation of Global Health education means to practising educators, and what pedagogical practices should be recommended. In total, sixteen respondents filled
out the survey. We used thematic analysis for the first question and found four sub-themes that we divided into the epistemic level (knowledge and its validation) and the ontological level (the nature of being). At the ontological level, we found that while the concept of decolonising Global
Health was perceived as valuable and relevant; it was also seen as new and evolving, and lacking common direction. We found respondents saw the decolonisation of Global Health in education as a means of challenging power structures and colonial legacies, as well as a means of attaining innovation
through reciprocity and equity. We end the discussion with recommendations for the Continuous Professional Development (CPD) of Global Health educators.
Resisting the Ecology of Knowledges, Reclaiming an Ecology of Study: Some Notes on Decolonization in Higher Education
Authors: Schildermans Hans
Published: March 2024

Abstract Recent years have seen an upsurge of academic and activist texts on decolonization in higher education. A recurring theme in this literature is the politics of knowledge at play in the colonial project, which makes the university an important site of struggle for
a decolonial future. It is this particular epistemological claim on the decolonial imaginary that I aim to problematize in this article. Based on a reading of Santos’ ecology of knowledges, I argue that within this imaginary, decolonization tends to denote social justice in the broad
sense, but also risks favoring a particular kind of tolerant cosmopolitanism that ultimately closes down the future. The alternative I suggest is to reclaim the university as an ecology of study, thereby shifting the focus from the knowledge being produced at universities to the practices
of study that happen within universities. I will demonstrate how the notion of study offers a way out and could be of particular relevance when considering existing experimental universities that re-invent the idea of the university, often together with Black and indigenous movements. Vital
to these is an educational understanding of decolonization that stresses the importance of pedagogy in processes of imagining and enacting different worlds and possible futures through study.
Effect of Shade Intensities on Growth, Biomass and Grain Yield of Green Grams (Vigna radiata) and Maize (Zea mays) in Kitui County
Authors: Mwangi Timothy Irungu , Nguluu Simon , Akuja Thomas E.
Published: March 2024

Maize and green grams are important food security crops grown and consumed in the arid and semi-arid regions of Kenya. High temperatures and low soil moisture lead to yield reduction. A two-season study was conducted to investigate the effect of different shade intensities (0 %, 50 % and 70 %) on green gram and maize growth, biomass and grain yield in Kitui County (1.4° S, 37.9° E). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications at the South Eastern Kenya University (SEKU) farm. Results showed that maize had significantly (p<0.05) higher plant height, Ear height, cob weight, total biomass and grain yield per hectare in 50%, followed by 70% and lowest in 0%. Green gram plants had significantly (p<0.05) higher number of pods, seeds per pod, total above-ground biomass and grain yield per hectare 50 % (1759 kg/Ha), 70 % (1553 kg/Ha) and lowest in 0% (478 kg/Ha). The plants grown under 50% shade intensity had higher grain and biomass yield for both green grams and maize compared to those under 70% and 0% shade intensity, which may be attributed to adequate moisture due to reduced evapotranspiration. The study demonstrated that the cost-benefit analysis of shade intensity on green grams farming system yield and break-even price was best at 50% shade intensity. The study demonstrated that the cost-benefit analysis of shade intensity in maize farming systems is not significant. To improve grain and biomass yield of both green grams and maize for food and nutrition security, study recommends the use of 50% intensity in growing green grams in ASALs due to benefits including soil moisture conservation, improved plant growth, yield, economic efficiency and cost-benefit ratios
Reframing the Perceived Changing Academic Roles of Deans: A Case of Makerere University
Authors: Lutaaya Bernadette
Published: March 2024

Existing literature shows that deans in higher education institutions are key in nurturing, facilitating growth and setting high standards for faculty, staff, and students among other stakeholders. They are also expected to create a positive work environment within schools, colleges, or departments. However, less literature has concentrated on how these deans reframe their perceived changing academic roles at Makerere University. This study therefore set out to explore the reframing strategies of deans as regards their perceived changing academic roles in the context of Makerere University. Findings indicate that deans reframe their perceived changing academic roles at Makerere University using multi-frame. That is using all four or three of the frames to view a particular decision through four different lenses before selecting the best option. These four lenses are majorly the human resource, followed by structural and political. The symbolic frame was the least exploited among the frames, yet science-based disciplines were seen to be using the political frame majorly. The study concludes that multi-framing as recommended by Bolman and Deal was adhered to by all deans meaning that despite the complex environment in which they work, they have remained relevant due to the use of three or four frames. It was noted that the political frame was highly used in the science-based disciplines, especially the hard applied fields. The study recommends that the symbolic frame be exploited by the deans due to its benefits including deans being role models and using ceremonies where faculty meet, share, and relax to break the routine of academic work for this is energizing. Further still, the study recommends that deans embrace the political frame to boost their schools financially
Benang yang Hilang: Mengurai Alienasi Kultural Hindu dan Aniaya Budaya di Tengah Urbanisasi Generasi Z
Authors: Sumertini Ni Wayan
Published: March 2024

Cultural alienation has resulted in changes in the religious culture and feelings of generation Z with several cultural cases causing a sharp decline in cultural values, customs and religious practices. This is especially sad in the context of Hinduism, where traditional traditions are at risk of extinction, as a result of cultural persecution and cultural alienation. The aim of this research is to reveal the extent of the cultural transformation experienced by Generation Z during the urbanization process, as well as identify specific factors that contribute to cultural alienation and persecution within the Hindu community by proposing effective solutions and interventions to mitigate the decline in cultural values, customs, and Hindu religion. Researchers use qualitative research with the research approach that will be used is ethnography. Data collection techniques using in-depth interviews, surveys and participant observation. In a novel way, this research introduces a new perspective by focusing on the intersection between urbanization, Generation Z, and Hindu culture, revealing the intricacies of cultural alienation and cultural persecution. The results of this research show that traditional customs are giving way to a more contemporary lifestyle, which shows that there is a complex negotiation between cultural heritage and modernity, so that factors emerge that contribute to cultural alienation, including (1). Peer influence, (2). The impact of media hegemony (flexing content) and the rapid pace of urban life emerge as the main factors contributing to cultural alienation among Generation Z. Several solutions to increase the fighting power of Generation Z return to the axis of Hindu culture and religion, without abandoning the positive innovations of the impact of urbanization, including: (1) Strengthening Cultural Education, (2) Community Engagement Initiatives, (3) Adapting Traditions in a Modern Context, (4) Digital Platforms for Cultural Awareness, (5) Intergenerational Cross Experience. It is concluded that the cultural structure of Generation Z in a dynamic urbanization landscape requires special handling and that preserving values and traditions is a shared responsibility for all aspects of social life.
Dialektika Hegel Kekhalifahan Umayyah Sebagai Pencegah Radikalisasi
Authors: Ramadhani Muhammad Hanif , Ayundasari Lutfiah
Published: March 2024

The background to this research is the discourse on Islamic history which is often monopolized to produce a single narrative regarding the history of a great and majestic Islamic civilization unlike today. This is often used as an argument for why we have to return to the time of the prophet and the caliphate, which led to radicalization, especially of young people, to restore the caliphate in Indonesia. Why are young people easily radicalized? What historical scholarship can be used to counter it? and What is the history of Islamic civilization that was not radicalized? The answer to this question is about the internal and external problems faced by today's young people, especially students. The way to overcome this is through critical and creative thinking as in the 2023 Merdeka Curriculum. This research aims to provide history teachers with a role in preventing radicalization through historical scholarship, namely the Hegel Dialectic, especially the history of Islamic civilization. This article uses qualitative research with the literature study method. This research analyzes the reasons why young people who are often targets of radicalization by terrorist groups become their members by comparing the present with the "past glories" of Islamic civilization. Hegel's dialectic is a way to discuss complex topics by showing two different points of view of Thesis and Antithesis so as to achieve a broader understanding of Synthesis. This technique can prevent students from becoming radicalized because they don't immediately believe something before checking it themselves. Hegel's dialect is a means of contracting radicalism discourse using historical science as its basis.
