Financial Inclusion and its Impact on Poverty Alleviation amongst Micro and Small Enterprises in Cameroon
Authors: Esowe Susannash Limunga
Published: June 2023

An inclusive and stable financial system promotes investments and a market driven economy which is productive and competitive. Appropriate financial access at an affordable cost is indispensable for the growth of MSEs as well as the financial wellbeing of the MSE operators. About 80% of the population in Cameroon operates in the informal sector, while about 98.5% of MSEs hardly have access to regulated finances, hence suffer from financial exclusion and poverty. This study seeks to analyze the extent to which financial inclusion can impact poverty alleviation among MSE operators in Cameroon. The relevant data for this study were sourced with the use of a closed ended structured questionnaire. Data analysis was by statistical inferences and modelling involving multiple regressions by the use of AMOS 24. The findings from the analysis reveals that financial knowledge and financial wellbeing have a significant positive influence on poverty alleviation amongst MSE operators in Cameroon. This study highlights that policy makers should promote the putting in place of financial literacy mechanisms and structures to facilitate the users of financial instruments better acquaint themselves with knowledge on the existent financial instruments as well as their proper usage.

Political factors, like other external variables, can create noises in the capital market. Elections, being a critical political factor, can instill uncertainty in investors regarding their two primary goals of achieving capital gains and dividends. This study aims to examine the impact of general elections on the Dhaka Stock Exchange's (DSE) return, volatility, and trade volume. The study utilizes daily return data from January 2, 2000, to November 30, 2020, specifically focusing on the four parliamentary elections held in 2001, 2008, 2014, and 2018. By employing the event window approach, the study finds that DSE generates positive abnormal returns during election periods. Additionally, using the GJR-GARCH (p, q) model, the study concludes that return volatility is significantly impacted during election time. Furthermore, the study observes that election has significantly positive impact on daily trade volume of DSE. In conclusion, this study establishes a strong correlation between parliamentary elections and abnormal returns, volatility, and trade volume in the DSE. The study's findings emphasize the need for policymakers to create stable political environments that can attract more investments, boost market confidence, and promote economic growth and development. Investors can use the results to make informed investment decisions during election periods.

Published: June 2023

Seed priming was carried out to determine the effect of different priming agents on seed germination and growth of different landraces of lentils. The two factorial experiments were carried out in a completely blocked design of which one factorial is of 7 treatments, i.e., PEG (10%), boric acid (0.1%), urea (2%), PEG (5%), DAP (2%), CaCO3 (2%) and Control. Other landraces, Sunwarshi-LR1 and Rangeli-LR2, collected from two different locations in the Morang district, were replicated three times. The overall germination performance is better on landraces Sunwarshi-LR1, but no significant difference was observed in individual treatment. The interaction between the two landraces seems effective in germination and germination energy, whereas non-significant in germination speed and vigor index. The shoot length seems non-significant at 10 and 20 DAS, and a significant result was obtained at 30 DAS. The root length seems important at 10 DAS, whereas non-significant at 20 and 30 DAS. Sunwarshi-LR1 shows better performance with PEG (10%).

Osteopathic Management of Pediatric Feeding Disorder, Oral Aversion, and Growth Faltering: A Case Report
Authors: Beveridge Eric , Magoun Mary Ann
Published: June 2023

Growth faltering is a complex problem in the pediatric population and can result from multiple mechanisms, including inadequate caloric intake. Feeding difficulties are common among children with growth faltering and can present significant challenges for achieving adequate nutrition and weight gain, particularly when coupled with any degree of oral aversion. The patient in this case is a 21-month-old child with oral aversion, pediatric feeding disorder (PFD), and growth faltering who had failed to gain weight while receiving the standard of care. Upon transitioning his care to an osteopathic pediatrician, who incorporated osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) into his care, he demonstrated weight gain, which was sustained over the 8 months of this study. This case report demonstrates the potential benefit of OMT for children with PFD, oral aversion, and growth faltering.
ECMI Minorities Blog. Minority Language Media and TikTok: Are Broadcasters Showing They Are Still Relevant for Younger Audiences?
Authors:   European Centre for Minority Issues, Willis Craig
Published: June 2023

Whilst younger audiences move away from traditional forms of media consumption, public broadcasters – including those in minority languages – have long been facing declining viewing figures in terms of linear television. At the same time, social media consumption habits are diverging along a generational gap – younger audiences favour TikTok and Instagram over Facebook or Twitter. This blogpost sheds light on one element of this, analysing the attempts of institutional actors – in this case minority language broadcasters – to reach different audience segments by creating content directly through TikTok. Concentrated focus is placed on the Welsh language broadcaster S4C, the Galician language broadcaster TVG and the Catalan language broadcaster TV3, with the conclusions pointing towards greater levels of success for their sub-brands which adopt a less-formal, non-institutionalised approach. The positive examples suggest minority language media are finding ways to adapt to contemporary challenges and that their role for younger generations was perhaps neglected too soon by some critics.
Big Data Analytics and Competitive Advantage: Evidences from Healthcare Services Organistions in Lagos State, Nigeria
Authors:   Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State, Nigeria, Ibidun A.
Published: June 2023

This paper investigated the effect of big data analytics and its six sub-dimensions on the competitive advantage of healthcare service organisations. Big data analytics have six sub-dimensions: agility capability, data-driven decision making, business intelligence, information technology capability, Internet of Things (IoT) application software, and cloud computing. Big Data Analytics (BDA) refers to the advanced analytical techniques used to process and derive valuable knowledge from large datasets. While BDA has the potential to offer significant business insights and create immense value, many organisations struggle to fully capitalise on their BDA initiatives and gain a competitive advantage. Despite the opportunities presented by BDA, some firms face challenges in effectively leveraging and extracting value from their data analytics endeavours. The study adopted a survey research design. The population of the study comprised 3931 employees of accredited healthcare service firms in Lagos State. The study utilised mixed sampling techniques comprising purposive, proportionate, and random sampling techniques. A sample size of 676 participants was obtained using Cochran’s sample size formula (1977). An adapted questionnaire was used, and an 83.3% response rate was achieved. The Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients for various constructs ranged from 0.769 to 0.904. The data were analysed using inferential (regression) analysis. The findings revealed that big data analytics dimensions had a significant effect on competitive advantage (Adj.R2 = 0.937; (F (6, 556) = 0.937), p<0.05). The study concluded that big data analytics affected the competitive advantage of healthcare firms in Lagos State, Nigeria. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that the management of healthcare service organisations in Lagos State invest in the combination of Big Data Analytics (BDA) dimensions in order to achieve a long-term competitive advantage. Also, management should use BDA to support the operational activities of the firm to increase cost efficiencies and develop firm-specific BDA knowledge.

Published: June 2023

This empirical study examined the relationship between disruptive innovation and business growth of fashion entrepreneurial start-ups in Nigeria. The study adopted the cross-sectional research survey design. Primary data was generated through structured questionnaire. The population, which also served as the sample size, for this study was sixty-three fashion entrepreneurs, fashion bloggers, fashion enthusiasts, fashion industry experts and clients of fashion outlets with social media presence in Nigeria. The reliability of the instrument was achieved by the use of the Cronbach Alpha Coefficient with all the items scoring above 0.70. The hypotheses were tested using the Spearman’s Rank Order Correlation Coefficient. The tests were carried out at a 0.05 significance level. The findings of the study indicate a positive and significant relationship between disruptive innovation and business growth (proxied by customer acquisition, brand presence and revenue growth) of fashion entrepreneurial start-ups in Nigeria. This suggests that fashion start-ups in Nigeria can leverage disruptive innovation strategies to foster growth, differentiate themselves in the market, and respond to evolving consumer demands. Therefore, the study recommends fashion start-ups should leverage technology-driven innovations to enhance business growth. This should involve adopting e-commerce platforms, mobile applications, and social media marketing strategies to reach and engage with a broader customer base. Utilizing data analytics and personalized marketing approaches can also help target and attract potential customers more effectively.

Ordo amoris és amor inordinatus. A szeretet két fogalma Max Scheler etikájában
Authors: Szegedi Nóra
Published: June 2023

Tanulmányomban a scheleri filozófia egyik sokszínű és centrális fogalmát, a szeretetet vizsgálom, mégpedig etikai összefüggésben. Mindenekelőtt az érdekel, hogy miben áll a szeretet erkölcsi relevanciája. Az írás első részében tehát vázolom Scheler materiális értéketikájának alapvonalait és benne a szeretet helyét. Arra a következtetésre jutok, hogy a scheleri etika alapját képező szeretetfogalom mintegy szubjektív képmása annak az a priori értékvilágnak, amelyet megragad, s mint ilyen, rendezett szeretet. Etikai értéke pedig akkor van, ha „jól rendezett”. Ám a scheleri szeretetfogalom nem merül ki az ordo amoris elképzelésében: írásaiban megjelenik egy olyan etikailag releváns szeretetfogalom is, amelyik egy másik, egyes szám első személyű perspektívából adódik, és ennek köszönhetően tapasztalatközelibb, azonban nem hozható összhangba sem az előbbivel, sem magával az értéketikával. „A rendezetlenség”, a spontaneitás és a kreativitás jellemzi ugyanis. A dolgozat második felében ezt az alternatív szeretetelképzelést rekonstruálom, és egy erre alapozható etika kezdeményeire mutatok rá Schelernél.

Consumer’s Adoption of Last Mile Logistics Innovation: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Firdaus Muhammad Iqbal
Published: June 2023

Last mile logistics refers to the final stage of the delivery process where products are transported from a distribution center to the end customer. In recent years, advancements in technology and changes in consumer behavior have led to an increased focus on last mile logistics. However, last mile logistics pose challenges due to its complexity and uncertainty affecting both the firms or logistics service providers and the customers. Studies focusing on achieving efficient last mile logistics have gained attention from scholars while research discussing factors affecting customer’s adoption on last mile logistics innovation remain scant. This conceptual paper aims to explore the factors that influence customer adoption of last mile logistics through a systematic literature review of selected 21 papers from reputable journals. The papers were analyzed and resulted in three broad categories of perspectives discussing factors considered by customers to adopt last mile logistics innovation. Future studies are recommended to address issues not covered in this study.

Water Supply Network Zoning Procedure Development Considering Local Conditions
Authors: Sahakyan Aram
Published: June 2023

The methods of performing zoning implemented in the water supply networks of various settlements in RA have been continuously improved over the past years and are currently carried out by a procedure developed by us, which has increased the efficiency of the water supply system operation.We have implemented this to increase the efficiency of the water supply system. There are several principles for the zoning of the water supply network's concepts in the literature, but using the current techniques only reduces the volume of water provided to the zone by 8 to 10 percent and the time of supply by a fixed amount (not around the clock). Analyzing the results of multi-year studies and considering the current technical situation of the distribution network, we recommend continuing the zoning of the networks for the current stage until the night-time consumption of the zone is less than half of the daytime consumption.
Plane-Parallel Laminar Flow of Viscous Fluid in the Transition Zone of the Inlet Section
Authors: Sarukhanyan Arestak , Vermishyan Garnik , Kelejyan Hovhannes
Published: June 2023

A study was conducted to analyze how hydrodynamic parameters change in the entrance region of plane-parallel flow under stationary flow conditions, with an initial arbitrary distribution of velocities in the entrance section. This study was based on boundary layer equations, and a boundary problem was formed under the conditions of plane-parallel flow. The boundary conditions were chosen to reflect the pattern of arbitrary velocity distribution in the entrance section. A general solution of the approximating Navier-Stokes equations is provided, which depends on the initial conditions and the Reynolds number. The boundary conditions are established based on the nature of the motion, and the boundary value problem is described. A method for integrating the boundary value problem has been developed, and regularities for the change in velocities along the length of the inlet section have been obtained for both constant and parabolic velocity distributions in the entrance sections. Analytical solutions have been derived to obtain patterns of velocity and pressure changes in any given flow direction. Through computer analysis, velocity change patterns in various sections along the inlet transition area have been constructed, allowing for the determination of fluid velocity at any point on the section and an estimation of the length of the transition area. These proposed solutions provide a framework for accurately constructing individual units of hydromechanical equipment.

Published: June 2023

This article presents the use of modified pumice as an environmentally friendly adsorbent for copper (II) removal from wastewater. The water pollution by toxic elements is a major concern for human health and environmental quality. New and cheaper methods of wastewater treatment are increasing the quality of the environment and reducing negative impacts on fauna, flora, and human beings. The sorption technique is considered a cost-effective method for effectively removing heavy metals. In recent years, there have been increasing studies dedicated to using low-cost adsorbents such as pumice. For the study, Kuchak pumice has been used. The modified pumice was prepared by surface modification with polysiloxane, evaluated by studying the effects of pH, contact time, dosage, and initial concentration, and was optimized in batch processing mode. The chemical changes in pumice were fully characterized using FT-IR techniques. Overall, these results suggest that surface-modified pumice is a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of copper (II).

Maqashid As-Syariah Perspektif Imam Al-Ghazali; Studi Literasi Maslahah Mursalah
Authors: Abdussalam  , Shodiq Abdullah
Published: June 2023

Throughout the history of Islamic teachings that have been brought by Rasulullah SAW since 14 centuries ago, the scholars have always placed maslahah as the main principle in Islamic sharia. Sharia's goal is to achieve maslahah. Sharia's ultimate goal is known as maqashid al-syariah. A Muslim's life will achieve worldly and ukhrawi happiness by applying the concept of maslahah, both in ijtihad and determining the value of services and goods. Modern economic theory, on the other hand, holds that the primary goal of a consumer is to obtain the greatest level of satisfaction (maximization of utility). With this goal in mind, a consumer will tend to spend his money in order to achieve the greatest level of satisfaction. As a result, there is one fundamental value contained in maximizing utility, namely the existence of an isyraf (wasteful) attitude. Despite the fact that isyraf is among the forbidden nature and satanic acts condemned by the Koran. The theme discussed in this study, which employs a descriptive qualitative methodology, is the implementation of maslahah in the opinion of Imam al-Ghazali, a prominent Islamic scholar known for his thoughts on the concept of maslahah and maqashid al-syariah. The findings show that the concept of maslahah that he proposes for human welfare can actually accommodate all human needs and is more comprehensive than the concept of utility in the modern economy.
Trouver de l’argent et de l’or pour Masaharta
Authors: Polis Stéphane
Published: June 2023

Dans cette contribution, je propose une transcription hiéroglyphique ainsi qu’une traduction commentée d’un texte hiératique écrit sur un ostracon récemment découvert dans la Vallée des Rois par une mission égyptienne (O. VoK 2022.13). Il s’agit d’une prière à Amon-Rê dans laquelle le scribe de la Tombe, probablement un petit-fils de Boutéhamon (i), demande au dieu de l’aider à trouver un lieu rempli d’argent et d’or qu’il puisse apporter au Grand Prêtre d’Amon Masaharta, attestant d’un pillage d’État de la Vallée des Rois au début de la 21e dynastie. Le texte est daté d’un an 24, ce qui ajoute six années sûres au pontificat de Masaharta, jusqu’ici documenté jusqu’en l’an 18.
Philosophy of Patients
Authors:   The Korean Association for Philosophy of Medicine, Yeo In-suk
Published: June 2023

Every human being becomes a patient. In human life, a disease is an unavoidable event like birth, death, and aging. A patient is a person who has a disease. In that sense, the patient and the disease do not separate. However, advances in medicine have separated the patient from the disease. Patients are treated only as carriers of disease, and medical attention has shifted from the patient to the abstracted disease carried by them. As a result, the patient was marginalized from medicine. As medicine advances, the marginalization of patients becomes stronger. Individual autonomy and initiative over their bodies are gradually decreasing. Now, a new insight into the patient's needs as a universal way of being human. The patient should be identified not as an object of medicine nor as a customer. Being a patient is a state everyone wants to avoid if they can. However, as long as we live as human beings, we cannot avoid becoming a patient. To put it more positively, I exist as a human being because I can be a patient. In the era of medical oversupply, paradoxically, where the time to live as a patient has increased, it is necessary to give an active meaning containing a deeper humanistic insight into the patient's being and to search for possible alternatives.
Tratamiento pasivo de aguas ácidas con residuos generados al tratar efluentes industriales

Published: June 2023

El estuario de la Ría de Huelva (SO de España), está seriamente contaminado por lixiviados ácidos de origen minero y efluentes de la industria de fertilizantes fosfatados. Este trabajo evalúa la eficacia de unos residuos sólidos ricos en calcita (CaCO3) generados durante el tratamiento de efluentes industriales con la tecnología Sustrato Alcalino Disperso (DAS), para el tratamiento pasivo de aguas de mina altamente ácidas y contaminadas. El estudio consiste en hacer fluir el agua de mina a través de una columna rellena por una mezcla de un reactivo alcalino (i.e., calcita resultante del tratamiento de lixiviados de fosfoyesos) disperso en una matriz inerte (i.e., virutas de madera) para elevar el pH del agua ácida y así disminuir la solubilidad de los contaminantes disueltos. El tratamiento propuesto logró la eliminación total de Al, Fe, Cu, Cd y tierras raras e Y (REY). La solubilidad de los contaminantes durante el tratamiento fue probablemente controlada por procesos de co-precipitación y/o adsorción con oxihidróxidos-oxihidroxisulfatos de Fe y Al. Este trabajo puede contribuir a minimizar los costes económicos y ambientales del tratamiento de aguas de mina con la tecnología DAS.

Published: June 2023

Los incendios suponen una de las mayores causas de destruc- ción del Patrimonio Natural y Cultural. El aumento brusco de tem- peratura durante un incendio provoca la reducción de la resistencia mecánica de las rocas. El presente trabajo evalúa los efectos mecá- nicos generados por las altas temperaturas en una granodiorita re- lacionada con el yacimiento arqueológico de El Berrueco (Ávila – Salamanca). Los resultados muestran un descenso en las propiedades mecánicas del material, que es menor hasta 400oC y catastrófico y penetrativo a partir de 600oC.
Geochronology and detrital zircons sources from the Sierra Albarrana Domain (SW Iberian Massif)
Authors: Solis Alulima Byron , Abati Gómez Jacobo , López Carmona Alicia , Gutiérrez Alonso Gabriel , Fernández Suárez Javier
Published: June 2023

This study compiles the U-Pb and 40Ar/39Ar geochronology of the metasedimentary, migmatitic and granitic rocks of the Sierra Albarrana Domain, based on data recently published by the authors together with other bibliographic sources. Maximum depositional ages (MDA) and magmatic and metamorphic events ages are discussed. MDAs suggest that this domain was deposited during the middle Cambrian (ca. 511) and U-Pb ages of zoned magmatic and metamorphic zircon grains indicate that the main tectono-magmatic event is late Cambrian (granite emplacement; 481 ± 2 Ma) to early Ordovician (migmatization; 478 ± 2 Ma). The 40Ar-39Ar ages evidence a Cambro-Ordovician metamorphic event (ca. 482 Ma) and another related to the Variscan Orogeny (ca. 337-392 Ma). The most important detrital source corresponds to a Cambrian magmatic event (535-515 Ma), probably developed during the initial episodes of the early Paleozoic rifting affecting the N margin of Gondwana. The remaining Mesoproterozoic, Paleoproterozoic and Archean zircon grains would have been contributed by Paleoproterozoic basement and/or older continental crust recycled in the western sections of the Gondwana margin. We suggest that this domain is probably part of the autochthonous section of the Central Iberian Zone (CIZ) and derived from the Saharan Metacraton and/or Tuareg Shield.
Evolución del caudal y de la conductividad eléctrica en el río Lanjarón (Sierra Nevada, Granada)
Authors: Rodríguez del Rosario Manuel , Calvache Quesada María Luisa , López Chicano Manuel
Published: June 2023

Las acequias de careo han condicionado y modificado la gestión del ciclo del agua en la zona de la Alpujarra desde la época andalusí. Este trabajo se centra en estudiar los dos principales ríos de la cuenca del Lanjarón para identificar y cuantificar los procesos de intercambio entre los ríos y el acuífero. Para ello, se realizó una campaña de aforos del río Lanjarón y Salado en aguas bajas durante el mes de octubre de 2021, apoyado con mediciones de parámetros fisicoquímicos de las aguas superficiales para la elaboración de perfiles de conductividad eléctrica a lo largo de los meses de agosto a noviembre.
Nuevo trilobites asáfido con conservación de apéndices en la Biota de Fezouata (Ordovícico Inferior de Marruecos)
Authors: Gutierrez-Marco Juan Carlos , Rábano Isabel , Sá Artur A. , Poblador Juan A. , García-Bellido Diego C.
Published: June 2023

Se presenta el tercer ejemplar del trilobites asáfido Megistaspis (Ekeraspis) cf. hammondi con conservación excepcional de apéndices, procedente del Fossil-Lagerstätte ordovícico de tipo Burgess Shale más importante del mundo, localizado en Marruecos. Los trilobites con apéndices o partes blandas se detectan en niveles del Tremadociense superior dentro de la Formación de Fezouata, pero son fósiles muy raros. El ejemplar estudiado conserva la antena derecha y nueve apéndices situados bajo el exoesqueleto, localizados en la parte derecha del cuerpo. Se trata principalmente de endópodos, pero al menos en dos apéndices se reconocen partes de los exópodos porque conservan sus largas lamelas. El primer endópodo parece corresponder al extremo distal del tercer apéndice cefálico, y el resto son apéndices torácicos. Las antenas observadas en ejemplares comerciales de la misma especie suelen estar manipuladas por los preparadores y son poco fiables. Además del asáfido estudiado, la conservación de partes blandas y apéndices se conoce en otras cuatro especies coetáneas, totalizando medio centenar de ejemplares publicados. Pero es muy posible que existan muchos más casos en los que los apéndices de aquellos ejemplares que conserven las antenas permanezcan en realidad ocultos bajo el caparazón dorsal.

Signatura de campos potenciales (gravedad y magnetismo) del yacimiento de Otero de Herreros (Segovia). Comparación con datos y modelos existentes
Authors: Jiménez Borrego Roberto , Ayarza Arribas Puy , Sánchez Sánchez Yolanda , Fadón Loro Óscar
Published: June 2023

Este trabajo presenta nuevos mapas de anomalía magnética y gravimétrica absoluta (Bouguer) del yacimiento polimetálico del Cerro de Almadenes (Otero de Herreros, Segovia). Los datos han sido adquiridos y procesados con equipamiento y técnicas modernas (eliminando todas las posibles fuentes de ruido), y los mapas obtenidos se han comparado con los mapas de anomalías ya existentes. La adquisición de datos detallados de campos potenciales proporciona nuevos criterios para controlar la geometría de las capas mineralizadas, restringiendo su potencia y profundidad, a través de la modelización directa en 2D de perfiles perpendiculares a las estructuras. Los resultados muestran que mientras que la anomalía magnética ayuda a constreñir la geometría de la capa M mineralizada, la anomalía gravimétrica puede indicar las zonas donde la mineralización está más concentrada. Este trabajo muestra que el avance metodológico e instrumental en las técnicas de adquisición de datos de campos potenciales da lugar a mapas de anomalías mejor constreñidas, que permiten una modelización más detallada de las mismas.
