Socio-Cultural Determinants of Gender Disparities in Kenyan Organizations
Authors: Denis Muchangi  , Dr. Susan Nkanata
Published: May 2024

Despite various efforts and some notable gains, women's representation in wage employment remains low, forming less than 30% of wage employment in Kenya. The main objective of this study was to identify the levels and the social-cultural factors that influence gender disparities at the selected organizations in the manufacturing, the service sector and the related trade unions in Kenya. The disparities were examined at three levels, namely: the operational, the management and the trade union. Although several socio-cultural factors influencing gender disparities at work have been enumerated, the study investigated their relative importance to the industrial occupations in the selected organizations and the respective trade unions in Kenya. The study was guided by the structuralism theory and the concepts of division of labor. The fundamental conceptual proposition was that social structure influences socialization, which may lead to gender disparities and the related division of labour. The study used the descriptive survey research design to obtain data from the manufacturing and service sector industries and the related trade unions. Primary data were obtained from 208 respondents drawn from operational, management and trade union levels using interviews and questionnaires, while organizations' records were used for secondary data. The data were then coded and converted to numerical codes, which represent the attributes of the various variables of the proposed study. Data were summarized using percentages, ratios, frequencies and the measures of central tendency. The findings revealed that despite the many strategies employed, gender disparities continue to persist in formal employment in Kenya. The margins of disparities were seen to increase up the organizational hierarchy. Some of the specific possible causes of disparities included family responsibilities, social stereotypes and spouse income. The key recommendations made included the introduction of flexi-time working arrangements and care centres at the workplace.

Authors: Febrianty Hanif Whulan , Chatra Emeraldy , Arif Ernita
Published: May 2024

Teachers are a central figure in the world of education especially when there is a developing teaching interaction process and are the most responsible for developing learners' potential. A teacher's role in the learning process is crucial to the shaping of a child's character. Teachers directly play a role in influencing what they learn, how they receive learning, and what they look like in interacting in their social lives. The problem in this research is how the teacher's communication experience in teaching a child down syndrome in the SLB YPPLB padang. The research method used is qualitative research. The paradigm used in this study is a constructive paradigm with the phenomenon approaching Edmund husserl. Research shows that the process of communication built into teacher and child down syndrome is pure interpersonal communication. Communication is done in person so that teachers and down syndrome can detect immediate reactions and can provide immediate feedback. The communication process consists of the seven stages, that is; The rendering stage, the encoding stage, the delivery stage, the travel stage, the reception stage, the reverse encoding stage, and the interpretive stage. Then, success in communication came to include five things: Information transparency, empathy, a supportive attitude, a positive attitude, and space. There is a breakdown in communication, that is; Misunderstandings, language differences, and special needs. Nonverbal communication in the study contained attributes, tone of speech, touch, sitting position, and the use of time. The transcendental meaning of the teacher's experience is that of embracing and feeling fulfillment.

Deconstruction of The Meaning of Beauty in Advertising Semiotic Analysis of Rexona Motion Activated Advertisement "72 Jam Kesegaran Nonstop”
Authors: Kuswara Delvin Apriandi , Yusanto Freddy
Published: May 2024

This study aims to explain the deconstruction of the meaning of beauty depicted in the Rexona Motion Activated “72 Jam Kesegaran Nonstop” advertisement that aired in 2022 for a duration of 30 seconds. The reason behind this research is the evolution of advertisements shifting towards becoming agents of positive empowerment for women, particularly in representing beauty. The research uses a qualitative research method, and the data collected are analyzed through John Fiske's semiotic approach to television codes, consisting of Reality, Representation, and Ideology, as well as Jacques Derrida's deconstruction theory used as a reference in the research. The results of the study show a deconstruction of the meaning of beauty in the ad, moving away from the pseudo- "beautiful" construction by the media and the advertisement's effort to present beauty from within (inner beauty), which has been neglected by the media. Keywords: advertisement, deconstruction, semiotics, women, beauty

Authors: Joshi Anant , Sable Aashiket Shashikant , Usman Sajeer , Sabnis Bhushan , Sane Pranav , Bagaria Vaibhav
Published: May 2024

Objectives:

In recent times, the advent of newer meniscal repair systems and studies thereof seem to have implied that meniscectomy procedures should be abandoned or used only as a last resort procedure in most patients. This study was done to report the outcomes of partial meniscectomy done in indicated patients by a skilled arthroscopic surgeon at a long-term follow-up of 10 years. The indications and the appropriate strategy for performing this procedure are also described.

Materials and Methods:

One hundred consecutive patients who underwent arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) over one year were evaluated 10 years later for functional and clinical outcomes.

Results:

A retrospective case series of 100 consecutive patients was conducted to study the clinical outcome of APM after 10 years. Their mean age was 41.23 ± 7.81 years. 70% of the selected patients were male. Medial meniscus involvement was the most common (73%). At their 10-year follow-up, the majority of cases were asymptomatic (72%), with a mean international knee documentation committee score of 86.90 ± 5.51. Mean Tegner Lysholm Knee score was 90.05 ± 10.21, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index score was 8.83 ± 6.19, and the Western Ontario meniscal evaluation tool score was 85.54 ± 10.91. The subjective assessment after surgery was “excellent” in the majority of patients (48%).

Conclusion:

With proper patient selection and accurate decision-making, patients operated with APM for isolated meniscus tears can return to their daily routine activities and have good clinical and functional outcomes. The technique of performing arthroscopy and the skill set of the operating surgeon may perhaps also be an important criterion influencing the outcomes.

Для рек рассматривается задача моделирования установившегося течения, решение которой необходимо для прогнозирования положения береговой линии в зависимости от расхода воды. С помощью предложенных методов разработана система моделей комплексного использования водных ресурсов р. Ангары и оз. Байкал.

The article addresses the experience gained while processing data on the topography of water bodies, such as the Irkutsk reservoirs and the Angara River and Lake Baikal, in order to obtain a model that combines data from various sources, such as topographic and pilot maps, results of depth measurements with an echo sounder, contours of coastlines obtained from remote sensing data and aerial photography. The authors have considered algorithms developed for processing such data, which are based on the construction of triangulations. In addition to the actual algorithm for constructing the Delaunay triangulation with restrictions on vector data of various origins, the following algorithms have been implemented: removal of triangulation artifacts built on the contours of the topography and morphing of maps to match the underwater and surface parts of the topography, replacement of the triangulation fragment. The resulting model contains all the information on the topography of the examined area and allows using it for further hydrological calculations and analysis of the studied reservoirs sectors.

The main focus of our paper is a novel approach to enhance the MDY conjugate gradient direction. The key modification involves incorporating a third term, which plays a crucial role in determining the descent direction. By introducing this additional term, we transform the MDY conjugate gradient direction into a three-term conjugate gradient direction. This modification aims to improve the convergence properties of the algorithm and enhance its performance in solving optimization problems. In comparison to traditional MDY conjugate gradient methods, our approach demon- strates improved convergence properties and achieves higher solution quality. Numer- ical results confirm the superiority of our proposed method in terms of optimization performance. This highlights the potential of our modified approach to effectively tackle a wide range of optimization problems in various domains. The results of our numerical experiments provide strong evidence of the efficacy of our modified three- term conjugate gradient direction.

Systematic and unbiased pathway exploration by artificial force application to a generic neural network potential
Authors: Ichino Tomoya , Nabata Hitoshi , Matsumoto Kota , Hasegawa Taisuke , Maeda Satoshi
Published: May 2024

Computational pathway exploration can unravel complex catalytic mechanisms and even predict unexplored catalytic reactions when performed in a fully systematic and unbiased manner. However, such a comprehensive exploration typically requires years of computation or thousands of CPU cores even for small systems. Herein, a generic neural network potential (NNP) trained on a large structure–energy database and force- and kinetics-based pathway exploration algorithm were combined without any tuning. An interface code was developed to combine the NNP in the Matlantis platform with the search algorithm in the GRRM software. The combined approach automatically generated comprehensive pathway ensembles containing over 10,000 local minimum structures for methane oxidation on the Pd(111) and Pd(100) surfaces with reasonable computational effort. The kinetically most plausible mechanism derived from the ensemble was qualitatively consistent with that obtained by density functional theory. These results highlight the considerable predictive power of the proposed approach at low computational cost.

A review of recent theoretical advances in polymer brushes
Authors: Edwards Mike
Published: May 2024

In this article, I review my recent theoretical approaches to polymer brushes. By means of the density functional theory (DFT) and the molecular dynamic simulations (MD), the detailed behaviors of polymer brushes are revealed in different situations. It turns out that polymer brush bilayers show shear thinning effect under stationary shear motion only when there is hydrodynamic interactions between monomers. Also, by studying charged brush bilayers under non-equilibrium shear inversion, I reveal that the hydrodynamic interactions are responsible for the mechanical instabilities in the brush bilayers and also I show that the electrostatic interactions between monomers completely suppress these mechanical instabilities. The findings of this study sheds light on our understanding of polymer brushes as a complicated example of soft matter and biological system.
Chemical diversity and versatility of polyoxometalate ligands: homologous series of twenty-five new structures with polyoxometalates binding to alkali, alkaline earth, lanthanide, and actinide ions
Authors: Colliard Ian , Deblonde Gauthier
Published: May 2024

Coordination chemistry trends across the periodic table are often difficult to probe experimentally due to limitations in finding a versatile but consistent chelating platform able to accommodate various elements without changing its coordination mode. Herein, we present new metal-ligand systems covering a wide range of ionic radii, charges, and elements. Five different ligands derived from the Keggin structure (HBW11O398-, PW11O397-, SiW11O399-, GeW11O399-, and GaW11O399-) were successfully crystalized with six different cations (Na+, Sr2+, Ba2+, La3+, Ce4+, Th4+) and characterized by single crystal XRD. Twenty-five new compounds were obtained by using Cs+ as counterion, yielding a consistent base formula of Csx[M(XW11O39)2]·nH2O. Despite having a similar first-coordination sphere geometry (i.e., 8-coordinated), the nature of the central cation was found to impact the long-range geometry of the complexes. This unique crystallographic dataset shows that, despite the traditional consensus, the local geometry of the cation (i.e., metal-oxygen bond distance) is not enough to depict the full impact of the complexed metal ion. The bending and twisting of the complexes, as well as ligand-ligand distances were all impacted by nature of the central cation. We also observed that counterions play a critical role by stabilizing the geometry of the M(XW11)2 complex and directing complex-complex interactions in the lattice. We also define certain structural limits for this type of complex, with the large Ba2+ ion seemingly approaching those limits. This study thus lays the ground for capturing the coordination chemistry of other, rarer, elements across the periodic table such as Ra2+, Ac3+, Bk4+, Cf3+, etc.
A Book Review of Becoming a Reading Teacher: Connecting Research and Practice
Authors: Xu Peipei , Yu Lin
Published: May 2024

The book Becoming a Reading Teacher: Connecting Research and Practice aims to encourage readers to regard reading as a lifelong habit. To bridge the gap between teachers and researchers, this book is structured around four parts: reading as a linguistic process, reading as a personal experience, reading as a collective experience, and reading as a classroom practice. The definition of a reading teacher can be interpreted in two ways: the teacher who builds readings into the lesson and the teacher who provides the opportunity for learners to be readers, but who is a reader themselves. Such teachers regard reading as a lifelong learning habit and pass on the enthusiasm to learners, eventually creating a reading culture beyond the classroom. However, the necessity for reading teachers to participate in the research may be explained as follows. Firstly, new research may change one’s mind. What’s more, research allows teachers to turn their difficulties, surprises, and challenges into questions, and to seek answers to those questions. In addition, research helps teachers overcome the challenges in teaching by discovering new strategies. Research can also help to prove teachers’ choices and decisions in teaching. Secondly, research allows teachers to see the role they play in the bigger picture. Research connects teachers with others and gives them a broader and shared perspective on their questions and experiences. Last but not least, research informs and promotes changes in policy, thinking, and so on.

Schisming as an Interactional Resource for Learning at the Frontiers of Work and Vocational Training — A Secondary Publication
Authors: Filliettaz Laurent , Durand Isabelle , Zogmal Marianne , Markaki-Lothe Vasiliki
Published: May 2024

This paper examines the sorts of interactional competencies and institutional demands required from students as they engage in complex forms of participation combining work and training purposes. It focuses on a series of empirical cases, recorded through video data and analyzed from a conversation analytic perspective, in which mentors make the decision to intervene during work sessions moderated by students. Such interventions do not interrupt the student’s activity and lead to the emergence of two distinct but not impermeable interactional spaces. This complex participation framework, known as “schisming,” contributes to overcoming practical issues within multiparty settings. Our study shows how schisming constitutes a particular sequential phenomenon where participants reorganize the interaction and co-construct a social and cognitive interactional space, thus enabling a shared understanding of the specific training context. Empirical data from the practical training of medical radiographers are used to illustrate how schisming may contribute to learning in the conditions of guided practice.

Improving the Methodology of Spatial Resources Management in Russia in the Context of Digitalization
Authors:   Financial University, Moscow, Russia, Shedko Yu. N.
Published: May 2024

The relevance of the work is due to the need to rethink the methodology of managing Russia's spatial resources in connection with the emergence of new problems caused by adverse circumstances of internal and external order and the provision of new opportunities for the development of science and technology. The subject of the research is the theory and methodology of the use of spatial resources in Russia. The purpose of the work is to clarify the conditions for the development of organizational and economic solutions for the use of spatial resources in Russia in the context of digitalization. It is established that the methodology of spatial resource management requires rethinking due to the increased influence of previously existing factors and the emergence of new opportunities associated with the digitalization of public administration, the economy, and the social sphere. The paper determines that in order to solve the problems of spatial development of the socio-ecological and economic system of the region, it is necessary to assess the quality of the economic space, taking into account the fact that in the era of digitalization, digital technologies have changed the conditions for using space, expressed in the emergence of new types of economic activities, new ways of trade and employment, etc. It is proved that effective public participation in the use of spatial resources is important in combination with the use of new tools for innovative interaction —network institutions, benchmarking of territories, branding of territories. It is concluded that an effective spatial planning system should have not only structural integrity, but also functional continuity and additivity. Moreover, when forming and implementing socio-economic development strategies at the macroeconomic, regional and municipal levels, the internal and external (positive and negative) effects of the use of spatial resources should be taken into account.

Authors:   Financial University? Moscow, Akulinkin S.S.
Published: May 2024

The subject of the study is the taxation of transactions with digital currency. The objectives of the work are to establish the key features of taxation of transactions with digital currency in the Russian Federation, to determine approaches to making changes to regulatory legal documents. The relevance of the work is due to the accelerating development of digital technologies, in which the legislator does not have time to develop and adopt appropriate legislative acts. Based on the analysis of the legislation of the Russian Federation, draft laws, letters from the Ministry of Finance and the Federal Tax Service of Russia, program documents of the Bank for International Settlements, scientific publications of Russian and foreign researchers, the concepts of cryptocurrency, digital currency, digital financial assets, mining of cryptocurrencies for tax purposes have been clarified. The differences in the interpretations of the concepts of various types of digital assets according to the method of creation and the purposes of their use are highlighted. The features of taxation of transactions with digital assets in terms of value added tax, corporate income tax, and tax paid under the simplified taxation system are described. It is concluded that for the purposes of calculating VAT, digital currency can be qualified as property. Cryptocurrency should be defined as a digital currency. When mining cryptocurrencies using mining equipment that is actually located on the territory of the Russian Federation, the service for organizing the issuance of digital currency takes place on the territory of the Russian Federation. It is proposed to exclude contradictions in the definition of the law enforcement of new digital technologies in the country's economy from the legislation, which will allow subjects of foreign economic activity to use digital technologies in the legal field, without expecting possible negative legal consequences.

The Impact of the Financial Sector on Economic Growth
Authors:   Institute of Economics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia, Sukharev O. S.
Published: May 2024

The subject of the study is the influence of the financial sector and relevant parameters characterizing the financial sector of the economy on Russia's economic growth. The objectives of the work are to identify the main problems in assessing the impact of finance on economic growth, as well as to establish the degree of impact exerted by financial investments and wealth on the dynamics of the Russian economy at a selected time interval. The result of the study confirms the position that financial investments in Russia had a retarding effect on economic growth. The general conclusion of this study is that the basic imperative of financial markets should be the coordinated development of various economic sectors aimed at ensuring sustainable economic growth. The Russian financial sector significantly restrained economic growth at a certain stage, and a decrease in the interest rate led to a multiple increase in investments in fixed assets of the real sector. To achieve sustainable growth at a relatively high rate, it is necessary to solve the problem of purposefully providing finance for relevant types of economic activities based on plans for the structural organization of the national economy and management of changes in this structure. Budget planning is only one type of plan and cannot replace both indicative and general strategic planning and national economic plans. The modern theory of behavioral finance and financial mathematics does not take into account either the effects of panic, or the stochastics of the financial market, or the required ways of regulating it, which encourages scientists to develop new models of the financial sector and financial theory.

A feature of the construction of a hierarchical tree for the development of the riches of the Arctic regions of Russia as a way to represent its hierarchical structure graphically according to the levels "the purpose of the assessment – the directions of development of the oil and gas industry – the components of the directions of development" is a block structure, since the components of the directions of development form blocks that relate only to a certain direction. The result of the study was a forecast of the priority of development directions and their components based on expert assessments - that was proposed to be carried out on a digital basis - a modification of the hierarchy analysis method, which makes it possible to evaluate a hierarchical tree including a block structure. For the practical use of this approach, an algorithm has been developed, which has been tested in the forecast for the period up to 2030. The calculations carried out for the past periods showed that the calculated priority estimates took into account the most important work carried out in the industry to reorient export flows of hydrocarbons to the Asia-Pacific region and other countries of Asia and Latin America. Conclusions are drawn that the developed approach corresponds to the set goal and the obtained priority estimates can be used as the basis for creating a target investment program for the economic and spatial development of the oil and gas industry, as the basis of a digital model for the development of the region.

This study aimed to establish how teachers were capacitated to integrate Information, Communication and Technologies (ICT) towards development of 21st century skills among Early Childhood Education level learners, in the Zimbabwean primary schools. This is in the face of a conglomerate of limitations based on teacher capacity, school culture and access to the ICT resources. The study employed an explanatory sequential mixed methods research design. Quantitative data was collected using questionnaires administered to 126 Early Childhood Development teachers drawn from 230 primary schools, followed by qualitative data collection through analysis of documents, focus group interviews and lesson observations with selected teachers. From analysis of quantitative and qualitative data through SPSS and ATLAS.ti respectively, it was found that teacher training colleges were strong in developing ICT literacy. However, they lacked the capacity to empower the teachers to integrate ICTs for instructional purposes. Such findings retard the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Zimbabwe Vision 2030. These goals regard ICTs as a cornerstone in the production of knowledgeable workers and qualified human resources for development of 21st skills among learners. Thus, the study recommends adoption of a model characterised by an institutional organisational context with organised internal and external support systems that facilitate sustainable provision of balanced technological, pedagogical and content knowledge for successful ICT integration in line with the national vision and global trends.

El Síndrome de Wilkie, también conocido como síndrome de compresión del duodeno, es una condición poco común pero potencialmente grave en la cual el duodeno se comprime entre la arteria aorta y la arteria mesentérica superior, resultando en obstrucción parcial o completa del flujo intestinal. Esto puede provocar síntomas como dolor abdominal, náuseas, vómitos, pérdida de peso y desnutrición. Se llevó a cabo una revisión bibliográfica sobre el Síndrome de Wilkie mediante la recopilación exhaustiva de estudios relevantes publicados hasta la fecha. Se empleó una estrategia de búsqueda en bases de datos especializadas, como PubMed y Google Scholar, utilizando términos de búsqueda específicos relacionados con el síndrome y su tratamiento mínimamente invasivo. En los últimos años, se han desarrollado tratamientos mínimamente invasivos para el Síndrome de Wilkie que ofrecen resultados prometedores. Uno de estos tratamientos invasivos más utilizados es la Duodenoyeyunostomía laparoscópica que consiste en una conexión entre el duodeno y el yeyuno, bypassando así la zona de compresión. Este procedimiento alivia la obstrucción duodenal y restaura el flujo intestinal normal.

La atención prehospitalaria representa una de las bases fundamentales de los sistemas de emergencias de salud, por medio de los cuales se brinda asistencia al paciente antes de llegar al hospital. Una de las patologías más asistidas por este personal es el síndrome compartimental y de aplastamiento, en donde están en la primera línea de manejo de estos pacientes. Esta revisión tiene como propósito fundamental proporcionar una visión general centrada y actualizada sobre la actuación prehospitalaria en casos de síndrome compartimental y de aplastamiento. El enfoque metodológico de la investigación es una revisión bibliográfico – documental, apoyado por diversas bases de datos, para la obtención de información relevante en base al tema de estudio. El manejo del síndrome compartimental y de aplastamiento se puede dividir en dos fases: antes y durante la descompresión; y después de la descompresión. La primera incluye la atención de tres áreas fundamentales que son la permeabilidad de la vía aérea (ya sea en paciente inconsciente o no), el control de la respiración y el control circulatorio. En la segunda fase una de las primeras medidas es la reevaluación inmediata del paciente, además de documentar el tiempo que estuvo comprimida la extremidad. La reposición de líquidos en esta etapa es fundamental. Luego es necesario el reconocimiento y control de sangrado inmediato, para seguir con la evaluación del sistema respiratorio y su apoyo adecuado. También se debe evaluar la circulación y tomar las medidas para estabilizarla con líquidos intravenosos. Entre los últimos pasos se encuentra realizar un examen secundario, así como la atención a presencia de signos tardíos del síndrome compartimental.
