John Dewey’s Idea of Education: Its Relevance to Contemporary Nigerian Educational Value
Authors: Wada Larry Ebikekeme , Yinkori Ebinipere Blessing
Published: August 2023

This paper is a critical evaluation of John Dewey’s concept of education visa viz its relevance to contemporary Nigerian educational value. To undertake this task, the paper seeks a more holistic approach to offer a comprehensive overview of the importance of John Dewey’s idea of education. Specifically, the paper examines the importance of John Dewey’s Philosophy of Education in the present-day Nigerian educational system. Within this framework, the researchers were posed with three major considerations. Firstly, the paper unravels the idea of education in light of John Dewey’s model. Secondly, the paper executes a succinct evaluation of the present Nigerian educational values. Thirdly, is the application of Dewey’s theory of education to serve as a panacea for the Nigerian educational system. The paper notes that Dewey introduced his pedagogical approach into the educational space that altered the traditional teaching and educational value prevalent in his time. Dewey insists that active teaching-interactive learning, step-by-step reading as well as writing for critical thinking are germane to modern-day education. Comparatively, today, these approaches as recommended by Dewey, appear to have not been holistically adopted within the framework of today’s Nigerian educational system. Nigeria has only partially implanted Dewey’s new theory. Hence, a call for a holistic adoption of his theory in Nigeria. This paper finally recommends Dewey’s theory of education for Nigerian present educational woe. Dewey, no gainsaying, ushers in plausible revolutionary changes into the present-day educational philosophy.
Influence of Cognitive Destination Brand Image on Wildlife Park Attractiveness: A Case Study of the Amboseli-Tsavo Ecosystem, Kenya
Authors: Okumu Paul O. , Amwata Dorothy A. , Bulitia Mathews Godrick , Wandaka John K.M.
Published: August 2023

The attractiveness of a holiday destination motivates the development and growth of tourism in terms of tourists’ perceived value; however, the attractiveness of wildlife protected places, such as game parks, is little understood in previous tourism literature. The paper therefore explores the role of cognitive destination brand image on the attractiveness of wildlife parks in the Amboseli-Tsavo Ecosystem. The results showed a significant positive relationship between cognitive destination image and park attractiveness (β = 0.446, t = 6.661, p = .001). The study concludes that tourists exhibiting higher levels of cognitive destination image are more likely to perceive a tourist destination as being attractive. An embedded mixed-method research design was adopted to collect quantitative and qualitative data from 440 park visitors and 28 tourism experts. Simple and linear regressions were used to test the hypotheses, whereas qualitative data were analyzed using content analyses. This study aims to add to knowledge to tourism marketing literature on wildlife park attractiveness as perceived by tourists and gives recommendation on policy of controlling the provision of accommodation, attractions or activities within the protected parks to safeguard the ecosystem.
Effects of Tax Incentives and Subsidies on Economic Growth in Developing Economies.
Authors: Erick Okoth
Published: August 2023

Tax incentives are defined as tax rules that go against the generally accepted principles of tax neutrality and fairness which are aimed at fostering both foreign and local investment since they promote greater investment competitiveness among emerging nations, maximize returns on investments, and reduce costs and inefficiencies in the investment market. Subsidies on the other hand are described as any government aid to private industry producers or consumers, whether financial or in-kind, which requires no commensurate repayment to the government in exchange but prerequisite the benefit on a certain conduct by the receiving firm or industry. This study aims to investigate the potential effectiveness of tax incentives and subsidies in enhancing economic development and growth among developing economies. Most developing economies, if not all, that are members of the UN organization work toward achieving the SDGs by 2030, and this is significantly influenced by the amount of investment they attract to boost economic growth and encourage improvements in citizen welfare. This study uses secondary data from World Bank, IMF, and OECD reports for a target period of 2010 – 2022 to examine how tax incentives affect economic development in emerging economies with a focus on Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, and Türkiye. For this study, the researcher used STATA version 15 to investigate the underlying relationship between the variables. The researcher performed a panel data regression analysis using the generalized estimating equations approach. The P-value approach used by the researcher assesses the relevance of the study’s variables, for which the p-value is set at 0.05. This is a comparative study, as such the researcher prefers to use the generalized estimating equation method to perform a panel data regression analysis because it can simulate the population as a whole and because the data may be correlated, which would violate the independence assumptions of other traditional regression procedures. The study obtained positive and significant effects of subsidies on investments and economic growth. Incentives on taxes on production, sales, and transfers and taxes on profits and capital gains registered a non-significant positive effect on investment; however, the effects were insignificant and negative for economic growth.
Entrepreneurship Success: A Case Study of Eric Chua’s “TASK” Innovation in Training
Authors: Seow Richard Yeaw Chong
Published: August 2023

Entrepreneurship is a demanding yet fulfilling pursuit with a relatively low success rate. Various factors play a role in determining an entrepreneur’s achievement. This particular case revolves around Eric Chua, an entrepreneur who dedicated three decades to establishing a prosperous insurance agency. In 1992, Eric embarked on his life insurance business intending to improve his financial situation and settle his debts. Despite being promoted to agency manager in 1998, he only established his own insurance agency, the RFS Partners (TRP), in 2006. Initially, TRP started with two managers and generated RM2 million in new business annually. However, by 2022, Eric had successfully expanded TRP to encompass five managers and achieve over RM14 million in new business annually. One of the key business innovations that fuelled this growth was TRP’s training system. A robust training system is crucial for the development of life insurance agents and enables the replication of successful approaches. This case study delves into Eric’s journey of creating an effective training system that ultimately contributed to his business’s success. By examining this case, valuable insights into how small and medium-sized enterprise entrepreneurs navigate and establish prosperous business operations can be observed.

Authors: Santos Juliana Dantas dos , Bezerra Katia Santos
Published: August 2023

Atualmente, o Brasil é considerado o maior produtor de maracujá-amarelo do mundo. A polinização do maracujazeiro é efetivada unicamente pela abelha do gênero (Xylocopa spp.), mais conhecida por mamangava, mangangá ou vespa-de-rodeio. Essas abelhas se alimentam do néctar retirado das flores dos maracujazeiros, as quais, simultaneamente, realizam a polinização, com grande eficiência. Este trabalho objetiva ressaltar a importância da abelha mamangava para a polinização da flor do maracujá-amarelo, em uma pequena plantação em Palmeira dos Índios- AL. A coleta dos dados obtida in loco, a partir de caminhadas, no período de dezembro de 2016 a abril de 2017. Entre as fileiras do plantio observou-se um número maior de outros visitantes florais, cujas abelhas mamangavas se apresentavam sempre em menor quantidade, e mesmos assim, foram as únicas capazes de realizarem a polinização com qualidade. A importância da mamangava na polinização do maracujá-amarelo necessitou visualizar as flores do plantio mais visitados e compará-los com outras. As flores visitadas pela mamangava foram polinizadas, cujo aproveitamento é 100% de frutos vingados. Já as flores visitadas pelas demais espécies tiveram grandes danos com 0% de frutos vingados. Portanto, a abelha mamangava do gênero Xylocopa é essencial a perpetuação da espécie do maracujá-amarelo passifloracea edulis.

Rediscovery and ITS-barcoding of Entonaema cinnabarinum (Xylariales, Ascomycota) from Bulgaria
Authors: Assyov Boris , Bozok Fuat , Slavova Monica
Published: August 2023

Entonaema is a peculiar and morphologically easily recognised fungal genus with disjunct and predominantly tropical-subtropical distribution. Entonaema cinnabarinum is typified on material from Australia and is the sole known species in Europe. It was first reported on this continent three decades ago, based on a collection from Bulgaria and remains so far one of the utmost rare European fungi with merely five sites known on the continent. After diligent search, the Bulgarian Entonaema was rediscovered in the area where it was first collected, and new sites were also found. Two ITS rDNA sequences of Bulgarian collections were obtained, appearing to be the first verified accessions of European origin. In the phylogenetic inference they appear closely related to an accession from South Korea, dubbed E. splendens. The outcomes of the phylogenetic analysis confirm the self-standing status of Entonaema, but its precise affiliation within the order Xylariales remains to be assessed further. Morphological characterisation, ample macroscopic and microscopic illustrations, as well as SEM images of ascospores of the new Bulgarian findings are included.
CRESCIMENTO ECONÔMICO DA AMÉRICA LATINA
Authors: Melo Wiermann e Silva Matheus , Maria Pontili Rosangela
Published: August 2023

Este estudo explora o desenvolvimento teórico dos modelos macroeconômicos de crescimento visando a medir o ajuste do crescimento econômico dos países da América Latina em relação ao Modelo de Solow Expandido. Nos valemos de uma estimação econométrica com dados em painel para fazer tal testagem tendo como amostra os países da América Latina para o período de 2011 a 2017. Os resultados parecem indicar que a variável selecionada como proxy para o acúmulo de capital físico não explica a variação do PIB per capita dos países latino-americanos no período analisado. Além disso, o acúmulo de capital humano foi significante, porém teve um efeito negativo sobre a geração de riqueza. Tais resultados contradizem a solução do Modelo de Solow Expandido, uma disparidade que pode ser explicada pelo desenvolvimento institucional da maior parte dos países da América Latina.

Authors: Javed M.A. , Neil W.C. , Wade S.A.
Published: August 2023

Ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) treatment is a technique used to protect copper and its alloys against corrosion by promoting the formation of a protective surface film. However, the effectiveness of FeSO4 treatment is dependent on a number of parameters relating to how the treatment is applied. This article summarizes the various FeSO4 treatment parameters explored in prior studies, highlighting the significance of key parameters such as fluid flow, media replenishment, and media composition in treating copper-nickel (Cu-Ni) alloys. Furthermore, a series of experiments are conducted to validate the impact of these critical parameters on the formation and composition of the protective film on treated alloys. The results obtained emphasize the importance of these parameters in achieving a successful FeSO4 treatment and improved corrosion resistance for Cu-Ni alloys. Overall, this paper provides an overview of the various FeSO4 treatment parameters and how they affect the treatment outcome for Cu-Ni alloys.

Essential oils are important plant products that often have a complicated composition made up of the volatile plant components. Numerous biological actions are reportedly connected to essential oils, and a new class of aromaceuticals is being developed. The market for essential oils has increased since they are used to cure these types of ailments as a result of the emergence of various mental issues due to changing living standards, such as depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, and stress. Studies on animal models have shown that the mode of action of essential oils, which cause physiological changes in the brain, involves a number of neurotransmitter systems. Despite mounting proof that essential oils have quantifiable effects on animal behavior. Therefore the current study is proposed to investigate the physical and chemical characteristics of the essential oil obtained from the rhizome of Cyperus scariosus and assess its anxiolytic effects on the central nervous system in rodent models. Hydro distillation was used to extract the essential oil from the rhizomes of the plant. Total yield, physical properties like viscosity, specific gravity, refractive index, acidity, saponification, iodine no, etc were examined .Further to determine its impact on the central nervous system in a rodent model studies were performed at a dose level of 250 mg/kg body weight and compared to the benchmark medication caffeine @100 mg/kg body weight. The essential oil has a sustainably stimulating impact on the central nervous system in a proportion of 88% compared to caffeine's 68%, according to CNS locomotors count and physicochemical features that were in good accordance with literature value.

Alcohol use amongst students in a university of technology in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa
Authors:   , Ntombela Florence Buzani
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND Alcohol use among students in universities is becoming a major problem worldwide and has the potential of adversely affecting students’ performance academically, including in South Africa. Peer group influence in higher education institutions is more significant than parental or religious upbringing because students are away from home, not under their parents’ direction anymore and are free to do as they please. Therefore, peer group pressure plays a large role in the socialization of university students and in introducing alcohol as an acceptable culture of tertiary educational institutions. Aim The aim of this study was to determine the extent of alcohol use and drinking patterns among university students in a university of technology in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, and the relationship of these elements to their academic performance. Methods This was a quantitative, non-experimental, cross sectional descriptive study. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection were collected from a purposive sample of 349 undergraduate students in a university of technology in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. SPSS 26.0 was used for the statistical analysis of data. Results A significant number (67.0%) of respondents were in the age group of 20-24 years. Only 34% of the total number of undergraduate students attested to drinking alcohol, with 29.9% (n=35) drinking 3 to 4 standard drinks on one occasion and 5.1% (n=6) drinking up to 9 or more drinks per sitting. About 25.8% of respondents reported drinking monthly and 1.7% indicated weekly. About 5% of the sampled respondents were problematic alcohol users of which 2% had medium level problems and 1% had high-level problems. Conclusion Problematic alcohol use among students in a university of technology was associated with challenges like bunking classes, poor academic achievement, and peer pressure. This study recommends employing joint strategies including faculty, lecturers, and community leaders to reduce problematic alcohol use among students. The existing efforts can be strengthened through awareness campaigns and information given to all levels of undergraduates, starting in orientation week for the first years, a period where students are first acquainted into a new values and society.
