Published: June 2024

This study is designed with an analytical approach that compares and analyzes the views of artificial intelligence algorithms on tourism education. This study, which includes data collection, data analysis, and conclusion-drawing processes, aims to understand, evaluate, and improve the problems related to tourism education from the perspective of artificial intelligence. The questions used in the data collection phase were inspired by the 2023 theme of the 23rd National Tourism Congress, "Tourism Education." The answers obtained through four basic questions directed to ChatGBT 3.5, Jenni, Bearly, and Google Bard artificial intelligence algorithms were collected in August 2023. The average time to answer each question was between 5-20 seconds. The questions were posed in Turkish for the ChatGBT 3.5, Google Bard, and Bearly algorithms, while they were translated into English for Jenni. In the data analysis phase, the long answer texts obtained from the artificial intelligence algorithms were analyzed using the hierarchical code sub-code model of the MAXQDA24 qualitative data analysis program. The similarities and differences between the findings were interpreted. As a result of the examinations conducted, it has been observed that the most comprehensive and up-to-date data were provided by Bard and Bearly. The information provided by the ChatGBT 3.5 algorithm, being based on data up to September 2021, and Jenni's limited features being freely accessible, have been restrictive in terms of the obtained responses. When the research findings are evaluated overall, it is observed that the language used is fluent, a general-to-specific approach is adopted, and there is no significant inconsistency among the provided information.

Published: June 2024

The tourism industry is one of the major service sectors expanding rapidly. Hotels play a prime role in delivering service to guests and creating satisfaction. This study aims to measure the guest insight regarding the service quality of star-ranking hotels in Bangladesh. Thus, a quantitative approach was used to conduct the study, and a well-structured, close-ended questionnaire was developed. This study used a five-point Likert scale for collecting data. Statistical tool SPSS 24 was used for data analysis. The analysis of guest insight towards the service quality of star-ranking hotels in Bangladesh shows a positive picture. Key areas such as service quality, food quality, location, and modern facilities receive high satisfaction scores, indicating the hotel's strengths. Safety and security measures are also well-regarded, although in-room security features need enhancement. Employee behavior shows a favorable view, particularly in complaint resolution, though overall service and interaction could improve. Green environment practices are recognized but have growth opportunities, especially in promoting energy-saving initiatives. This study will help to reshape the hotel services in Bangladesh and give direction for more extensive research to identify the segmentation-based hotel service.

Published: June 2024

Education is a fundamental human right without gender discrimination to uplift the economic, social, and culture of society through education. The main purpose of the study was to investigate the comparison of educated & uneducated parents’ mindsets regarding female education at secondary school level. The essentialness of this investigation was to view the mindset of parents comparatively toward girls’ education. The population of study was parents of secondary school-level students of Dera Ghazi Khan. The research design was causal-comparative based on a survey. The sample of the study was 96 parents who were selected through the random sampling techniques. The questionnaire was developed at a five-point Likert type of scale to collect the data from the selected parents. The study results showed that educated parents preferred the girls’ education more than uneducated parents, urban parents than rural parents, and mothers than fathers. Thus, it is recommended that the female should avail educational opportunities for their educational development. The government must offer financial help to those parents who are unable to educate their daughters due to financial constraints.

Published: June 2024

The study will contribute to the knowledge hiding literature by providing interesting insights in trickledown effect of supervisor knowledge hiding on subordinate knowledge sharing behavior with the co-workers, while; here, LMX as mediator would extend literature of knowledge hiding. Drawing on SET & COR theory by using cross-sectional data collected over structured questionnaire from employees of TEVTA organization, the research will be a considerable addition in both knowledge hiding and knowledge sharing literature. It would also provide the considerable knowledge in OB studies where personality traits i.e., agreeableness as moderator will influence upon relationship of LMX and knowledge sharing by subordinate with coworkers. It argues that, the effects of supervisor knowledge hiding (predictor) not stop at subordinate end while it transmits (trickledown) in coworker and badly affect their social well-being (outcome). More interestingly, agreeableness will moderate relation of LMX & subordinate knowledge sharing behavior with co-workers while the COR will support to author’s stance. In addition, theoretical and practical implications of the study are also a key point of the present research.

Authors: Wright Rosemary
Published: June 2024

Introduction El Chacuey is a small rural community in the Dominican Republic. Drought is a common occurrence in this area and many families struggle to access water from the nearby river, resulting in several cases of water-related diseases and loss of opportunities to pursue socioeconomic activities. In 2018, El Chacuey expressed interest in planning the implementation of a new water supply system that emphasized water quality and quantity. Methods Household surveys were created to determine El Chacuey’s unmet water needs, current water usage, and plans to maintain a future water system. Local water committee members were trained on project and financial management, as well as educated community health workers on Aedes aegypti mosquito control methods in the local clinic. Results A total of 73 household surveys were administered in a two-week timespan. Among respondents, 22% reporting receiving adequate water regularly from the current gravity-fed water system. All participants stated that the water supply is unreliable and that a better water system needs to be implemented. Additionally, the water committee meeting and the Zika virus educational training were successfully implemented. Discussion A new water system would greatly benefit the community. To pursue a sustainable rural water infrastructure, it is important to coordinate actions between all stakeholders. This includes the water committee, which will be responsible for the long-term maintenance of the water system. Addressing the community’s water-related needs can guide decision-making processes related to water infrastructure development and can ensure that water resources are managed sustainably and equitably. Moreover, community health workers’ knowledge of Zika virus transmission can play a crucial role in implementing preventive measures within the community, empowering families to take appropriate preventive actions. Conclusion A new water supply system should be built in El Chacuey.

Published: June 2024

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant challenge in many hospitals, increasing infection morbidity and mortality. It is a global issue with far-reaching implications for human and animal health, the environment, agriculture, and the economy. The ineffective use of antibiotics in treating infectious diseases is a significant driver of antimicrobial resistance, which can be either innate or acquired.Objective: This study aimed to detect the presence of blaCTX-M and blaSHV genes in extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and to evaluate the antibacterial activity of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles synthesised using Calotropis procera extract. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Lahore College for Women University, Lahore, from January to December 2023. A total of 20 clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae were collected and identified using standard microbiological techniques. The presence of ESBL-producing strains was detected using the double disc synergy test. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect blaCTX-M and blaSHV genes. ZnO nanoparticles were synthesised using Calotropis procera extract and tested for antibacterial activity against ESBL-producing strains at different concentrations (20 mg/ml, 25 mg/ml, 30 mg/ml, and 35 mg/ml). The antibacterial activity was evaluated using the disc diffusion method, and data were analysed using SPSS version 23.0. Results: Of 20 clinical isolates, 15 (75%) were ESBL positive, and 5 (25%) were ESBL negative. PCR results showed that 80% of the ESBL-producing strains contained the blaCTX-M gene, and 83% included the blaSHV gene. The antibacterial activity of ZnO nanoparticles was concentration-dependent, with the highest inhibitory zones observed at a concentration of 35 mg/ml. The synergistic effect of ZnO nanoparticles with cefotaxime and ceftriaxone significantly increased the antibacterial activity against ESBL-producing strains. Conclusion: The study highlights the significant presence of blaCTX-M and blaSHV genes in ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae. The green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles using Calotropis procera extract demonstrated enhanced antibacterial activity, especially when combined with beta-lactam antibiotics. These findings suggest that ZnO nanoparticles could be an alternative strategy to combat antimicrobial resistance.

Afrika ülkelerindeki Hint diasporası, son dönemlerde Hindistan’ın dış politikasında önemli bir yer edinmeye başladı. Bu ilişki, geleneksel olarak Hindistan’ın ekonomi politikaları ve kültürel ilişkileri üzerinde de etkili olmaya başlamıştır. Özellikle, Afrika ülkelerinin Hindistan’ın artan enerji talebi ve liberalleşen politikalarıyla ekonomik bir partner olarak daha da önem kazandığı görülmektedir. Ayrıca, özellikle son dönemde Çin’in yükselişi gibi uluslararası küresel düzendeki değişimler, Hindistan ve Avrupa Birliği (AB) gibi aktörleri bir araya getirerek Hindistan’ın Afrika ülkeleri ile olan ilişkilerine derinleşmesine etki etmeye başlamıştır. Bu makalede, Hindistan’ın Afrika politikasının tarihsel gelişimi, Hindistan ile Afrika ülkeleri arasındaki ilişkilerde AB’nin rolü ve son dönemdeki ilişkilerde diasporaların etkisi analiz edilmiştir. Tarihsel araştırma yöntemleri bağlamında nitel araştırma yöntemleri kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen analizler, Hindistan’ın Afrika ülkeleri ile stratejik ittifaklarını anlamak ve Avrupa Birliği’nin bu süreçteki rolünü vurgulamak açısından önemlidir. Afrika kıtası, Hindistan’ın dış politikasında tarih boyunca önemli bir rol oynamıştır. Ancak, uzun süre boyunca bölgenin ekonomik açıdan dikkate alınmaması, Hindistan’ın bu bölgeye olan ilgisini sınırlı tutmuştur. 2000 yılında Hindistan ve AB arasındaki stratejik ortaklık anlaşmasıyla birlikte bu durum değişmeye başlamıştır. Günümüzde, uluslararası alanda her iki bölge de ortak çıkarlar peşinde koşmakta ve özellikle Çin’in yükselişi gibi faktörler, Avrupa Birliği ülkeleri ve Hindistan arasında daha yakın ilişkilerin gelişmesini teşvik etmektedir. Bu bağlamda, makalede hem tarihsel analizlere hem de güncel verilere dayanılarak elde edilen bulgular, Hindistan’ın Afrika politikasındaki değişen dinamikleri anlamak için kapsamlı bir bakış sunmaktadır. Makalede, nitel araştırma yöntemleri kullanılarak literatür taraması yapılmış ve mevcut akademik kaynaklar incelenmiştir. Ayrıca, Hindistan ve AB’nin Afrika politikalarındaki güncel gelişmeler ve ilişkiler üzerine çeşitli analitik yaklaşımlar kullanılarak bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Bu analizler ile, Hindistan’ın Afrika’daki stratejik konumunu anlamak ve gelecekteki politika önerileri geliştirmek için temel oluşturmak amaçlanmıştır.

Published: June 2024

The reality in the field is that the implementation of halal in slaughterhouses has not yet fulfilled its tayyib, this is because Sharia rules have not yet been entrenched and community traditions are still attached. This research aims to put forward the idea of ​​a halal slaughterhouse concept with a green economy approach which is expected to be applied to slaughterhouses in all regions, using qualitative research methods and library research. So this article puts forward the concept of halal abattoirs with a green economy approach because halal abattoirs alone do not guarantee their tayyib, so support is needed that can be accepted by abattoir managers. Green economy is important to include in the concept of halal slaughterhouses because green economy is not a commitment to religious teachings, but a global agreement that allows it to be accepted by society in general with different religious backgrounds. The research results show that the green economy supports sustainable development without causing environmental damage and does not conflict with Islamic concepts, but is in line with maqasid sharia.

Published: June 2024

The Jokowi administration which held two terms of parliament between 2014-2019 and 2019-2024 introduced what many believed were controversial policies around the development of Sharia financial frameworks, resulting in significant political discussion within Indonesia. With conflicts and robust grassroots challenges between the government and Islamic groups particularly preceding the 2019 election. This article aims to better understand the Jokowi government's support for the development of Sharia finance, as well as the strategies and policies implemented by his government in dealing with tensions with Islamic groups. This research deploys a historical analysis of literature during Jokowi’s two terms of government. The research interestingly reveals that the Jokowi government had indeed introduced a series of initiatives and platformed various master plan iterations to encourage and support the growth of Sharia finance in Indonesia. However, policy implementation challenges still prevail and may place real pressure on future governments to either roll back these initiatives or discard them completely. Yet, even given this political antecedence Jokowi's government has managed to initiate and deploy a Sharia finance master plan. Only time will tell, whether Indonesia can overcome many political challenges to continue on its new strategic Islamic-inspired economic path.

Published: June 2024

A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo refletir sobre o panorama das pesquisas brasileiras que se apoiam nas construções teóricas que relacionam os campos da etnomatemática e da decolonialidade e que propõem possibilidades de trabalho na Educação Básica. A metodologia da pesquisa é qualitativa e os dados são construídos a partir de um Estado do Conhecimento. Os resultados encontrados permitem perceber dois movimentos: (i) pesquisas que tangenciam a sala de aula da Educação Básica; e (ii) pesquisas com proposições na sala de aula da Educação Básica. No primeiro movimento estão as pesquisas que, de algum modo, aproximam-se da sala de aula e não se assentam somente em discussões teóricas sobre decolonialidade e etnomatemática. No segundo estão as pesquisas que propõem diretamente práticas que os autores consideram etnomatemáticas e decoloniais na sala de aula da Educação Básica. Concluímos que o panorama indica poucas pesquisas relacionando etnomatemática e decolonialidade e ainda menos que trazem proposições NA Educação Básica. Tais pesquisas são recentes e indicam que o campo ainda está em construção, porém, é latente um silêncio quanto à presença de práticas que contemplem os saberes e fazeres de grupos culturais da América Latina.

This study explores the impact of betel quid (BQ) chewing on hyperglycaemia among diabetic patients in northeastern Bangladesh. BQ, a prevalent social habit in Asia, is often used without awareness of its harmful effects. We focus on the role of areca nut, a key addictive component in BQ, in influencing hyperglycaemia. Random blood glucose (RBG) tests were conducted on 961 diabetic patients, alongside lifestyle data, from August 2018 to February 2019 at Sylhet Diabetic Hospital, Bangladesh. Statistical analyses, including t-tests, Analysis of the variance (ANOVA), Fisher's exact test, and Multivariate regression, were employed to assess RBG status in BQ chewer vs. non-chewer. BQ chewers had higher RBG levels than non-chewers (263.3 ± 4.768 vs. 251.0 ± 5.915, mean ± SEM). Notably, raw areca nut users in the BQ group had significantly higher RBG levels than dry nut users (278.0 ± 8.790 vs. 252.1 ± 6.835 mg/dl), with up to 50 times more hyperglycemic effect. BQ chewing was associated with elevated RBG levels across different. Lack of awareness was also prevalent among BQ chewers while individuals with desk jobs showed higher RBG levels. In conclusion, diabetic betel quid chewers experience elevated hyperglycaemia levels, highlighting the. urgent need to discourage BQ use for effective diabetes management.

Weaning is stressful for goat kids, often leading to stunted growth, weight loss, and mortality, with varied weaning times reducing overall productivity and profitability. The aim of this research was to determine the optimal age for weaning of Black Bengal goat (BBG) kids and evaluate the impact of weaning stress on their post weaning performances. A trial was conducted comprising four groups of eight kids each, accompanied by four lactating does, weaned at intervals of 45, 60, 75, and 90 days (designated as A, B, C, and D, respectively), and reared up to six months of age. Heart rate measurements and blood samples were taken three days before (-3), during (0), and three days after (+3) individual weaning schedules.
Furthermore, dry matter intake, daily weight gain, weaning weight, 06 months weight, disease incidence, and kid mortality were also recorded. The serum concentration of
triiodothyronine(T3) hormone declined significantly (p<0.05) at +3 days after weaning than -
3 days before weaning in group A, B and C while an increase was observed in group D. The average cortisol level was significantly (p< 0.05) lower in group D than other groups. Post weaning performances, including weaning weight, 06 months weight, daily weight gain and kid mortality also differ significantly (p<0.05), group D demonstrating superior performance compared to group A, B and C. The findings revealed that, kids weaned at 75 to 90 days experienced less stress, performed better, and had fewer health issues.
