Disaster Risk Management for Sustainable Development: The Role of Justice and Temporality
Authors:   , de Goër de Herve Mathilde
Published: August 2024

This thesis investigates how disaster risk management can contribute to sustainable development through the consideration of justice and temporality. Sustainable development is the normative evolvement of society towards more wellbeing. Disaster risk management, defined as all the proactive and reactive strategies that are implemented to deal with disasters and disaster risks, can impact sustainable development in several ways. Notably, disasters are intrinsically unfair while sustainable development requires just processes, which makes justice considerations essential for disaster risk management to contribute to sustainable development. To address the many dimensions of sustainable development, justice considerations must encompass social, ecological, spatial, and temporal justice. After developing a conceptual framework addressing those issues, this thesis focuses on temporal justice because it is identified as a gap in flood risk management research and practice. This thesis is a compilation of four papers. The first one reviews scientific literature about flood risk management to understand why and how justice is considered in this field. The second paper develops the risk justice framework and uses it to analyze international guidelines for disaster risk management. The third one investigates time horizons included in disaster risk management evaluation and the determinants that explain if they are expanded or narrowed. The fourth paper is a case study of the temporal strategies implemented at two governance levels to strengthen disaster resilience following the 2021 flood events in the Vesdre river basin (Wallonia, Belgium). This thesis also discusses the role of evaluation and integrated management to improve policy-making in disaster risk management.

All citizens, including people with disabilities, have the right to receive equal education. College libraries must play an important role in supporting this right by providing inclusive services to all users, including those with disabilities. However, until now, many libraries are not fully ready to provide services to users with disabilities, both in terms of infrastructure and human resources. This can hinder the learning process for those with disabilities. This research aims to increase institutional awareness about the importance of inclusivity in university libraries, by emphasizing that people with disabilities are an integral part of the academic community. Persons with disabilities have the same rights to learning support facilities and services. Therefore, every university library must be inclusive and able to serve users with disabilities well. Librarians are also required to have special competencies, both soft skills and hard skills, to serve readers with disabilities so that they experience ease in utilizing library services. The research method used is a literature review by examining various scientific reference sources, including printed books, electronic books, articles and news. The results of this research show that to create a disability-friendly university library, elements such as adequate facilities and infrastructure, assistive technology, librarian competence, and an effective outreach program are needed. By implementing these elements, libraries can become more inclusive and provide optimal services for all users, including people with disabilities.

Authors: Apriyanto Mifta , Chandra Deri , Maulana Irfan
Published: August 2024

People's habits of reading news have moved from print media to online media. Image can be formed indirectly from the news. If the content of the news is good, then the image that will be formed in society will also be good. On the other hand, if the news is bad then the image that will be formed will also be bad. This becomes an obstacle in the library promotion process, the effect of which will affect user visits. The aim of this research is to find out what issues are the topics of news coverage of a library in national online media which can later be used as reference material for the promotion of a library. The research method used is descriptive-quantitative by coding each news item. Primary data in the form of news was collected using advanced search techniques on Google, as well as secondary data obtained from journal articles, books and other related documents. The results of this research illustrate that libraries are reported by three national online media, namely Detik.com, Kompas.com, and Okezone.com with a good image. This report was taken over three months from 1 July 2023 to 30 September 2023. Apart from that, there are aspects that are studied, namely the placement of the word library in the title or content of the news, photos of libraries, news issues, types of libraries, figures involved in news, how to get news, and sectoral issues related to libraries. The conclusion of this research is that libraries must publish their activities more often in various mass media so that they are better known by the wider community, prevent things from happening that can make the library's good name less good, and actively promote the library through any media so that the library becomes more widespread. reach in society.
Pemanfaatan Aplikasi SIAP-TA untuk Pengamanan Dokumen Tugas Akhir Mahasiswa sebagai Repositori Institusi
Authors: Febriansyah Mochamad , Praptiwi M. H. Nur
Published: August 2024

Perpustakaan merupakan institusi pengelola koleksi karya ilmiah suatu institusi. Tugas akhir (TA) adalah karya ilmiah yang disusun oleh mahasiswa di setiap program studi berdasarkan hasil penelitian dari suatu masalah yang dilakukan secara seksama dengan arahan dari dosen pembimbing. Repositori institusi akademik adalah layanan pengarsipan secara online yang dilakukan suatu institusi terhadap karya ilmiah yang dibuat oleh institusi tersebut atau sivitas akademikanya. Seiring dengan semakin meningkatnya penggunaan internet, tingkat kerawanan terhadap pencurian dan penyalahgunaan dokumen yang tersimpan di internet semakin besar. Beberapa bentuk kerawanan tersebut adalah pencurian dokumen, modifikasi dokumen tanpa izin, dan penyisipan malware pada dokumen. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, untuk membangun suatu repositori institusi akademik dibutuhkan mekanisme pengamanan terhadap dokumen karya ilmiah yang tersimpan dan informasi pribadi yang dikirimkan. Mekanisme pengamanan yang digunakan menerapkan teknik-teknik kriptografi, yaitu enkripsi file untuk mengamankan karya ilmiah yang bersifat terbatas dan menerapkan skema location-based access control (LBAC). Diharapkan, pemanfaatan aplikasi Sistem Informasi Akses Perpustakaan untuk Tugas Akhir (SIAP-TA) dapat melindungi karya ilmiah yang tersimpan dalam perpustakaan dengan aman dan mencegah terjadinya penyalahgunaan yang tidak bertanggung jawab.
La injerencia de la Economía Política Internacional en la Delincuencia Organizada Transnacional en Sudamérica con enfoque en Ecuador, Colombia, Perú y Venezuela
Authors: Revelo Suárez Ricardo Leonel , Revelo María Fernanda
Published: August 2024

El presente estudio analiza la injerencia de la Economía Política Internacional en la Delincuencia Organizada en Sudamérica, con un énfasis particular en Ecuador, Colombia, Perú y Venezuela. Para ello, la investigación parte del enfoque cualitativo, nivel descriptivo y diseño no experimental basados en el diseño investigativo del estudio de caso y uso de la técnica de revisión documental, además, del análisis prospectivo desde del software MicMac. Los principales resultados determinaron que la delincuencia organizada en Sudamérica, impulsada por factores económicos, políticos, sociales y culturales, ha experimentado un aumento reciente relacionado con la globalización, desigualdad socioeconómica y la corrupción estatal donde variables delictivas como el tráfico de drogas, el contrabando y tráfico de armas, el lavado de dinero, y la minería ilegal tienen un impacto negativo en la seguridad y estabilidad en el entorno socioeconómico y político de estos países. Se concluye, de este modo que la Economía Política Internacional aporta a mejorar la relación entre los países a través de acuerdos comerciales, políticas de desarrollo y cooperación internacional, sin embargo, esto se convierte en un elemento peligroso y de doble acción cuando está presente la delincuencia enquistada en los aparatos estatales. Para ello, es pertinente fortalecer acciones de Gobernanza y cooperación internacional por su enorme influencia sobre variables como avances en innovación tecnológica, efectividad de la cooperación en seguridad, la prevención del delito y los esfuerzos contra el lavado de dinero y la corrupción, las mismas que quedarían debilitadas si no existe un marco sólido de actuación en esta variable.

A review of current advances in the transformative effects of physical exercise on the psychological wellbeing of those suffering from anxiety disorders
Authors: Sabri Saima , Rashid Nadia
Published: August 2024

Background: Anxiety is characterized by excessive worry, fear, or apprehension, often leading to significant impairments in daily functioning, including difficulties maintaining physical health and psychological well-being (PWB). There is a lack of conclusive research regarding the efficacy of physical exercise (PE) as a treatment for anxiety in primary care settings, as well as uncertainty about the specific degree of activity required to produce therapeutic benefits. The goal of this systematic review is to investigate the effects of PE on the PWB of people suffering from anxiety disorders (AD), as well as to compare the benefits of different PE regimens. Method: A systematic literature search was carried out utilizing seven databases (PUBMED, PsycINFO, Science Direct Engine, Semantic Scholar, Google Scholar, Online Library, and other sources such as periodicals). Inclusion and exclusion criteria were based on the PICOS framework, and the risk of bias (ROB) was utilized to assess the quality of eligible research. Result: Aerobic exercise (AE) is the most effective PE modality in reducing anxiety symptoms, while the benefits of resistance exercise (RE) are also notable. Moreover, research suggests that moderate intensity PE (MI-PE) tends to yield superior results over other PE regimens in managing anxiety symptoms. These findings underscore the importance of PE intensity in achieving therapeutic benefits for anxiety management. PE is acknowledged as an effective intervention for lowering anxiety symptoms, making it an attractive therapeutic choice for those with AD. Conclusion: PE is a safe, efficient, and effective therapeutic method for treating anxiety symptoms. However, the majority of published studies contain substantial methodological flaws, necessitating additional research to determine the suitable PE modalities, frequency, duration, and intensity for maximizing the therapeutic effects of PE on AD.

Authors: Castañeda Tatiana , Gaviria Ana M. , Casadiego-Alzate Rodolfo , Restrepo Jorge E.
Published: August 2024

El objetivo de este estudio fue examinar un modelo de riesgo para los trastornos alimentarios y la dependencia del ejercicio en mujeres que asisten regularmente al gimnasio. Este estudio exploró el impacto de esquemas desadaptativos tempranos, estilos parentales, mecanismos de afrontamiento, actitudes socioculturales hacia la apariencia y sintomatología ansioso-depresiva. Participaron en el estudio un total de 338 mujeres (con un rango de edad entre 18 y 40 años). Los resultados sugieren que los esquemas desadaptativos tempranos de imperfección/vergüenza y estándares inflexibles, generados por estilos parentales caracterizados por una menor disponibilidad afectiva y centrados en la crítica devaluativa, el exceso de esfuerzo y la internalización de la culpa cuando no se alcanzan las normas estipuladas, conducen a una mayor ansiedad por la aprobación social. Ser aprobado se convierte en el único recurso de autovalidación que encuentra el individuo. Específicamente, los resultados muestran que las mujeres que obtuvieron puntuaciones de riesgo para trastornos alimentarios y dependencia del ejercicio poseían niveles más altos de ansiedad y depresión. A su vez, utilizaban con mayor frecuencia el pensamiento desiderativo y la evasión como mecanismos de afrontamiento.

In the light of seemingly increasing recidivism rates amongst inmates, this study investigates the effectiveness of reformatory programmes in correctional institutions and the trigger factors of recidivistic tendencies amongst ex-convicts in South-South, Nigeria. The study adopts the descriptive survey design, where the purposive and snowball sampling techniques were further adopted in the administration of the research instruments to the relevant respondents for the study. It draws from Robert Agnew’s general strain theory to present an explanation of the act of recidivism amongst ex-convicts. An in-depth interview guide was adopted to serve as the research instruments for eliciting relevant information from the respondents. Forty-three (43) ex-convicts were utilized as respondents for the study. Findings from the study suggests that although the reformatory programmes of correctional institutions in South-South Nigeria were well designed and structured to achieve criminal reformation, rehabilitation and reintegration; however, factors such as endemic prison subculture, reintegration labelling effects, and employability redundancy of ex-convicts were significantly implicated as the primary causative factors of criminal recidivistic tendencies. Consequently, the study recommends intensive community sensitization and re-orientation via awareness campaigns to facilitate acceptability and reintegration; the creation of enabling environment for the actualization ex-convicts acquired entrepreneurial skills; and the adoption of non-custodial sentences as an alternative to criminal incarceration.

Published: August 2024

This paper provides a comprehensive review of literature examining the relationship between cultural diversity and organizational performance, with a specific focus on international non-governmental organizations (INGOs). The review explores various dimensions, including the role of organizational culture as a determinant of NGO performance, the impact of diversity on organizational effectiveness, the influence of workforce diversity on the performance of Humanitarian Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and the overall impact of cultural diversity on organizational performance. Employing conceptual analysis as the chosen methodology, the paper aims to thoroughly understand and elucidate the concepts and implications associated with managing cultural diversity in non-government organizations. The findings emphasize that changes in the environment of INGOs have brought to light numerous challenges linked to cultural diversity. Notably, the failure to effectively manage cultural diversity within the organization can lead to a lack of cohesiveness and suboptimal performance. The consensus among most researchers is that cultural diversity serves as a key predictor of organizational performance. A diverse team offers a wealth of knowledge, skills, and experiences that organizations can leverage to enhance their overall performance. The study underscores the imperative for INGOs' management to implement tailored mechanisms that consider the cultural diversity of their workforce, emphasizing the need for special considerations to optimize team cohesion and organizational success.
Investigating the impact of university managers' pedagogical knowledge and beliefs on the implementation of student-centered learning approaches in Kenyan higher education
Authors:   College of Education and External Studies, Makerere University,, Ngotho Gichuru Eutychus
Published: August 2024

Kenya's higher education institutions are struggling to adopt Student-Centered Learning (SCL) approaches due to limited pedagogical knowledge and traditional beliefs held by university managers. These managers often view SCL as synonymous with Western educational practices and question its applicability in Kenya due to perceived resource constraints. They also hold traditional views that prioritize teacher expertise over student involvement, making them resistant to change and slow to adopt innovative pedagogies. The impact of university managers' pedagogical knowledge and beliefs on SCL implementation is significant. Managers with a deep understanding of SCL principles and a belief in their effectiveness are more likely to support and promote SCL practices, recognizing the need for change and fostering an environment that values student learning and faculty development. To address these challenges and promote effective SCL implementation, Kenyan universities can employ various strategies, such as providing professional development and training opportunities, establishing mentorship and coaching programs, encouraging action research and reflective practice, fostering communities of practice, and developing institutional policies and support systems aligned with SCL principles. By implementing these multifaceted approaches, Kenyan higher education institutions can enhance their pedagogical knowledge and beliefs, fostering a supportive environment for successful SCL implementation and improving teaching and learning quality.

Over the past decade, science has been recognized as a critical area the upon which scientific and technological progress depends. As a result, there has been enormous research in this area by offering a tool that may be used to improve instruction, students will become less apprehensive and more engaged at various levels. In particular, to encourage female students to be less anxious and more interested in studying science at all levels. This essay is a component of a larger, more critical investigation. It presents an avenue (Module) by which the secondary school female students’ reaction towards learning science can be changed to a better one through active involvement during the science lessons. Six different lessons from a developed module were taught to the students by a trained female teacher. Also, students acted in role-playing activities for all connected lessons. The lessons and play-role activities were carried out in the science laboratory of Government Girls’ Day Secondary School Shinkafi Zamfara State, Nigeria, where the more prominent study was conducted. The lessons in the module are designed using Gagne's nine instructional events. The six lessons taught to the female students in the module include the human alimentary canal and food digestion; Utilizing flat mirrors and lenses; Natural nutrient cycling (the water cycle); and Water pollution is one type of pollution. Water that is natural and processed (water hardness). The data were qualitatively collected using interviews and observations. The data was audiotaped, videotaped, and written notes. The data were transcribed, coded, and themed. The results show that female students’ reactions to learning science about interest and anxiety have changed. Future research for using this means and increase female students' enthusiasm in studying science were recommended. This study is critical in boosting female students' interests and reducing their fear of learning science in secondary school so that they can achieve higher grades and be admitted to tertiary institutions to study various scientific subjects in the future.

This study investigated whether Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) inflow in Tanzania is significantly affected by fiscal policy tools such as Corporate Income Tax rate (CIT) and Government Expenditure (GEX) from 1991 to 2022. The study aimed to examine the causal link between CIT rate and FDIs inflows and GEX and FDIs inflows. The study employed an Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) Unit-root test to check on the stationarity of variables and then utilized the Co-integration and Error correction model (ECM) to calculate the short-term and long-term impacts of one time series on another. The findings proved a negative short-run and long-run correlation between GEX and FDI but, the casual connection between CIT and FDI is insignificant. Therefore, we fail to reject the null hypothesis of the relationship between CIT and FDI because the observed outcome is contrary to the expected results. The study revealed that fiscal policy incentives are not significant factors influencing FDI inflows. Therefore, the policy options are, that the government should rely mostly on non-fiscal policy incentives like dependable macroeconomic policy, low startup and operating expenses for enterprises, high-quality infrastructure, and political stability in attracting FDI inflows in Tanzania.

It's clear that businesses can't stay in business without making money, and not being able to do that would cause economic sickness. To get these kinds of organizations back to health, you need two types of turnaround strategies: ones that take you from losing money to breaking even and ones that take you from breaking even to making money. So, turnaround management is an act of two kinds of entrepreneurship. This paper's goal is to examine strategies that were effective in turnarounds and compare them to those that weren't. This will help managers of turnarounds improve their success rate and make these organizations more valuable to society. A content analysis with mean and standard deviation was used to get the data. The results show that cost management, operational efficiency, company restructuring, customer refocusing, and image building were more often used in cases of successful turnaround. The paper came to the conclusion that managers need to pay attention to early warning signs and act right away.

Setzt eine Fortsetzungsfeststellungsklage im Falle sich typischerweise kurzfristig erledigenden Verwaltungsakt zusätzlich einen qualifizierten Grundrechtseingriff voraus? So ist es, sagt das Bundesverwaltungsgericht. Damit wird eine eigentlich materiellrechtliche Frage in die Zulässigkeit der Klage verlagert. Es besteht das Potential den Individualinteressen der Kläger*innen nicht ausreichend gerecht zu werden.

Background: Accurate quantification of BCR::ABL1 transcripts is paramount for the management of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL). Despite advancements in real-time reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR), the need for more sensitive and precise assays remains. This study evaluated the diagnostic utility of digital reverse transcription PCR (dRT-PCR) for BCR::ABL1 quantification in assessing minimal residual disease (MRD). Material and methods. Twelve patients with CML or Ph+ ALL were included. Peripheral blood or bone marrow samples, collected in PaxGene RNA preservation tubes, were extracted with the automated QIASymphony SP instrument. dRT-PCR conducted on the LOAA analyzer, utilized the Dr. PCR BCR-ABL1 Detection Kit CE_IVD (OPTOLANE Technologies, South Korea). By employing a dual-labeled hydrolysis probe and target-specific primers, this protocol enabled the simultaneous amplification and detection of BCR::ABL1 transcripts e13a2 and e14a2 and ABL1. The resulting copy numbers/reactions were used to calculate the International Scale percentage (%IS) and the molecular reduction (MR) value and analyzed for clinical correlations. Results. Digital RT-PCR demonstrated high precision in quantifying BCR::ABL1 transcripts, the lowest %IS value being 0.02%. A consistent quality RNA sample totalizing 110 ng/reaction was crucial for successful reactions. This assay proved faster and easier than conventional RT-PCR and did not require standards or calibrators. Conclusion. This study supports the feasibility of digital RT-PCR for quantitative analysis. Future objectives for our laboratory include expanding our diagnostic repertoire using this platform, for enhancing patient care.

In order to increase national development with an emphasis on the economic and business sectors, considerable capital support is required. The capital can be obtained from various sources, one of which comes from loan or credit facilities provided by banks. Money lending activities or better known as credit in daily life practice are not something strange anymore, in fact, this credit term is not only known by urban people, but also to people in rural areas. Credit generally functions to facilitate a business activity, and especially for economic activities in Indonesia plays a very important role in its position, both for production businesses and private businesses that are developed independently because they aim to improve the standard of living of the community. Default can occur both due to intentional factors and factors beyond human ability. This research method uses a normative juridical research method with a legislative and conceptual approach. The data sources of this research are primary, secondary and tertiary data sources. The technique of collecting legal materials is used through literature study.
