4 - Institutional Constraints Affecting Quality Assurance Processes in Tanzania’s Private Universities
Authors: Ishengoma Johnson Muchunguzi , Mgaiwa Samson John
Published: July 2023

The purpose of this study is to identify the institutional constraints of quality assurance processes in Tanzania’s private universities and colleges. The descriptive survey design combines qualitative and quantitative research approaches. Purposive, stratified, and random sampling procedures are used to select a sample of 486 participants in the study who comprised 191 academic staff, 291 students, and 4 quality assurance officials from four private universities. Questionnaires and interviews are used for data collection. The findings indicate that inadequate financing, lack of capacity in terms of adequate, qualified and experienced human resources to undertake quality assurance functions, lack of clear and viable quality assurance policies, lack of awareness on quality assurance issues, and lack of academic leadership were the identified major institutional constraints to quality assurance processes in Tanzania’s private universities. The theoretical and policy implications of these findings are also discussed.

1 - Global Trends in Higher Education Reform: What Lessons for Nigeria?
Authors: Adesina Jimi
Published: July 2023

The crisis that engulfed the higher education sector in many developing countries from the mid-1970s in many ways epitomised a much wider socio-economic and political crisis. In much of Africa the balance of payment crisis compounded an uneasy relationship between the rulers and academia. However, addressing the cri- sis in the 1980s was defined by the emergent neo-liberal mindset. It was also an ideological posture that saw the academy as a domain of a ‘leftist leisure class’ that needed market discipline. Education as a public good was replaced by a commodity logic. The impact of the neo-liberal orthodoxy on the higher education sector, how- ever, varied widely across counties. In countries whose education policy came un- der the direct control of the Bretton Woods institutions, the orthodoxy drove policy as close to its ideological posturing as possible. In many developing countries commodification of access has impacted harshly on research activities in the higher education sector, reversing earlier achievements at endogeneity. In some countries, including Nigeria, the persistent anti-intellectualism of those in power has intensi- fied the broader crisis. In this paper, I argue that this contrasts sharply with the domestic experience of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Develop- ment (OECD) countries in their higher education sectors and the public commit- ment to research and development. What lessons are there for higher education reform in Nigeria? Firstly, in spite of the neo-liberal claims, successful countries show strong commitment to education as a public good and tend to invest heavily in their higher education sector, especially in endogenous research and development. The second point is that experiments with the commodity approach in both its provisioning of skilled human resources and internal relations have proved to be counter-productive. Thirdly, in situations of prolonged decline and decay, what needs rebuilding is more than just the infrastructure but also the ethos and ethics of academia.

Abstract
2 - Makerere’s Myths, Makerere’s History: A Retrospect
Authors: Sicherman Carol
Published: July 2023

Stemming from the author’s experience of writing a history of Makerere, this paper examines how the myths that have grown up around the university in the eighty-five years since its founding have obscured a clear view of the evolving institution, which the paper defines as ‘a university in Africa’ rather than ‘an African university’. The first myth, of an egalitarian paradise enjoyed by fully- funded students, was questioned even during its heyday by intellectuals disillu- sioned by the failure during the 1960s to fulfil the late-colonial dream. In the aftermath of the tormented 1970s and 1980s, a variant myth declared that new funding formulas made Makerere even more egalitarian. Proponents of this myth claimed that anyone who qualified for admission could attend; however, since government scholarships went to increasingly smaller proportions of the student body, only those who could raise the necessary funds themselves could take ad- vantage of the supposedly widened access. After questioning the meaning of ‘Af- rican’ in a socio-political context still strongly flavoured by foreign influence, the paper moves to consider the challenges that researchers may encounter in writing about universities in Africa: challenges that differ according to whether the re- searcher is an insider or outsider. The paper ends by asking what African academ- ics can do to rid Makerere of the diseases threatening its institutional health.
4 - The Contradictory and Complementary Relationship Between Student Constructive Engagement and Protest Strategies in South African Higher Education
Authors: Cele Mlungisi
Published: July 2023

Some claim that the present democratic state has made enormous progress in transforming South African society in general and higher education in particular. On the contrary, there is persistent and widening social inequality reflected in all spheres of life affecting predominantly poor, African and working class strata of society. On average, about 25 per cent of students leave higher education institu- tions annually in South Africa because they are excluded on academic and finan- cial grounds. To reduce dropout/exclusions student boycotts and protests are com- mon despite the institutionalisation of student participation (commonly referred to as ‘constructive engagement’) in higher education (HE) governance in 1997. The paper explores the dimensions of various protests and examines some of the effects of student participation in HE governance structures.
9 - International Student Recruitment: South African Rationales
Authors: Bolsmann Chris , Miller Henry
Published: July 2023

In this paper, we focus on the rationales for the recruitment of international stu- dents to universities in South Africa. Through the use of in-depth interviews with international officers at a cross-section of South African universities, we argue that there are competing and complementary rationales for the recruitment of international students. Some South African universities follow international trends in terms of international student recruitment while others adopt a different ap- proach. The analysis locates the rationales of international student recruitment as part of an internationalisation process within the context of globalisation.
Neo-liberalism and the Subversion of Academic Freedom from Within: Money, Corporate Cultures and ‘Captured’ Intellectuals in African Public Universities
Authors: Ibrahim Oanda Ogachi
Published: July 2023

In the last two decades, neo-liberal thinking and practices, as outcomes of globalization, have shaped social, economic, and educational policies. Within higher education institutions, the application of neo-liberal practices has increasingly reshaped the institutions into competitive markets and brought about the privatization of various aspects of institutional culture. In Africa, public universities were forced to adopt neo-liberal practices as part of the reform packages to address the financial crisis that the institutions faced in the 1980s. The deepening of neo-liberal cultures in the institutions has trans- formed traditional notions of the university as sites of knowledge genera- tion, service to society and liberal education, into neo-liberal objectives articulated in entrepreneurial terms with knowledge as a commodity to be invested in, bought and sold, and academics as entrepreneurs, who are evaluated based on the income they generate. This article analyses and reflects on what ‘entrepreneurialism’ in public universities in Africa means for the exercise of academic freedom and social responsibility.

The Hunt for Himalayan Traditional Medicine Parasitic Treasure: ‘Caterpillar Fungi’
Authors: Yousufi Mahmood Khan
Published: July 2023

In recent times the demand for conventional medicines is rising day by day in urban cities of the globe. Different sorts of folk meds are widely employed in various therapies by the global communities. Excessive exploration and exploitation of folk meds has alarmingly damaged the ecological diversity around the world. The folk meds are largely created through plants animals and even microbes. In this study an expensive conventional medicinal fungi often alluded to as ‘caterpillar fungi’ that is found in the Himalayan region has been evaluated for its sorted traits pertaining to its origin, morphology,  lifecycle, therapeutics, bio-molecules and its trade values. This fungus has been an integral compound of traditional medicines in Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, India and China. It was inferenced in this study that the hunt for this Himalayan medicinal treasure has raised tremendously. In recent times studies reveal that the caterpillar fungus has been widely employed as a nutritional supplement or tonic and as a herbal medication. The volume of this medicinal fungus is decreasing due to it’s over exploitation. Over exploration of this pricey med is contributing towards its degradation. It was evaluated through this investigation, that the caterpillar fungi possesses rich aboriginal medicinal traits that has resulted in its excessive exploration and even smuggling in the states of its origin. It is concluded in this study that, strict measures must be taken by the global states to safeguard this valuable fungi that could be loaded with medicinal properties to cure many chronic health ailments. It is inferred in this study that lack of proper concerns on this significant fungi has labelled this fungi under vulnerable species.

Authors: Vijay Jayswal  , Ashna Gargi
Published: July 2023

Disasters are old-age concerns of the human race. Hazards are the product of natural cycles and physical adjustments of nature to maintain equilibrium. In the course of development, Humans invited disasters through reckless, unplanned, unmindful settlements. They continuously ignored the signs of nature and today reached at the stage that no corner of the earth is safe from disasters. Among, all kinds of disasters, Flood is the most important type of natural disaster.  Almost all human civilizations developed around rivers, such as the great Indus Valley Civilization that flourished and perished along the banks of the Indus River. Floods engulfed many great human settlements in seconds and erased many great lands from the world map. Rivers are carried endless opportunities embracing huge resources enough to thrive a large population for years but at the same time, their nature is random, flickering, and devastating when caused disturbance either by nature or humans. The purpose of the current research paper is to understand the impact of the flood on various socio-economic sections of society in Delhi.

Authors: Aytaç Mert , Köse Bahar
Published: July 2023

Bölme en önemli ilkel ve olgunlaşmamış savunma mekanizmalarından biridir. Bireyin oluşan nesneyi iyi ve kötü özellikleriyle birlikte bir bütün olarak algılamamasına neden olur. Kişinin bu algısı iyi-kötü özellikleri ayırmada iyi olarak belirlenen nesnenin sadece iyi yanlarının görülmesine ve kötü yanların algılanmamasına, kötü olarak belirlenen nesnenin iyi yanlarının tamamen inkâr edilmesine yol açar. Bölme savunma mekanizması ile ilişkili olabilecek kavramlardan biri de şema modlarıdır. Kişi günlük yaşamında farklı modlarda yer alabilir ve bu modlara bağlı olarak ruh halinde de değişimler görülebilmektedir. Dolayısıyla şema modların ruh sağlığı ve iyilik hali üzerinde önemli etkileri olduğu söylenebilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı bölme savunma mekanizması ile şema modları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Araştırmaya Elâzığ ve Ankara şehirlerinde farklı üniversitelerde eğitim gören 18-34 yaş arasında (Ort. = 20.36, SS = 2.09) 537 (364 kadın ve 173 erkek) üniversite öğrencisi katılmıştır. Araştırmada Kısa Şema Mod Ölçeği, Bölme Ölçeği ve kişisel bilgileri içeren Demografik Bilgi Formu kullanılmıştır. Yapılan korelasyon analizi sonucunda değişkenler arasında düşük-orta düzeyde değişen anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Regresyon analizi sonuçları çocuk şema modlarından dürtüsel çocuk ve kızgın çocuk modu; uyumsuz baş etme modlarından uyumlu teslimci, büyüklenmeci, kopuk korungan ve kopuk kendini avutan mod; işlevsiz ebeveyn şema modlarından ise cezalandırıcı ebeveyn ve beklentili ebeveyn modu değişkenlerinin katılımcıların bölme düzeylerini anlamlı düzeyde yordadığını, sağlıklı yetişkin modun bölmeyi anlamlı düzeyde yordamadığını göstermiştir. Bulgular şema terapi ve şema mod yaklaşımı ışığında tartışılmış ve bazı önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Published: July 2023

Around the world, women have a low representation in STEM careers. This phenomenon is puzzling when there is a labor market that increasingly requires professionals from these disciplines. Factors such as gender stereotypes and lack of information about these careers negatively affect girls' interest and motivation in this field. The objective of this article is to carry out a literature review of the various initiatives carried out to encourage STEM education in girls. Bootcamps, workshops, and serious games are the three types of most common initiatives. Of all these, serious games seem to have represented so far, a more effective strategy.

Os países da América latina e Caribe sofrem com a sub-representação de mulheres nas áreas de STEM e para resolver esse problema iniciativas, políticas e ações são criadas com frequência por diversos órgãos, sejam eles públicos ou privados. Porém, dados e informações de iniciativas, políticas e ações, não estão abertos, concentrados em algum local e nem sempre estruturados. Para reduzir esse problema e facilitar pesquisas que utilizam dados sobre mulheres em STEM, a rede de pesquisa internacional ELLAS foi criada e executa um projeto. O intuito do projeto é a criação de uma plataforma com tecnologias baseada em Web Semântica para estruturar e concentrar os dados do Brasil, Peru e Bolívia, inicialmente. Assim, esse artigo tem por objetivo apresentar as estratégias adotadas para o desenvolvimento desta plataforma.

Authors: Santos Nayara Dias dos , Marczak Sabrina
Published: July 2023

Apesar de terem protagonizado a história da Computação, o número de mulheres na área vem diminuindo desde meados dos anos 80. Visando identificar os fatores que motivam a atração, retenção e abandono de mulheres neste contexto, conduziu-se um Mapeamento Sistemático da Literatura publicada nos Anais do Women in Information Technology. A partir dos 24 artigos selecionados, identificou-se 43 fatores de atração, 17 de permanência e 88 fatores que levam as mulheres a evadirem a área. Identificou-se que a influência de terceiros, como família, amigos e outros profissionais, é um dos fatores em comum aos três aspectos estudados. Também se identificou que a ansiedade e o estresse, além da falta de suporte ao bem-estar, como apoio à gravidez, por exemplo, estão dentre as razões para evasão da área.

Effect of COVID-19 Vaccination on Managing Chronic Migraine with Botulinum Toxin: A Case Series
Authors: Hazegh Fetratjoo Delara , Jafari Elham , Togha Mansoureh
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Although post-vaccination headaches have been reported following COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) immunization, the specific effect of such vaccination on chronic migraine (CM) management utilizing botulinum toxin remains unexplored. This case series highlights the experiences of five CM patients who, despite initially responding well to abobotulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) treatment, experienced increased headache frequency post-COVID-19 vaccination. These findings suggest the potential implications of COVID-19 vaccination on the efficacy of CM management strategies. Case Presentation: This case series highlights five female patients diagnosed with CM, aged 31 - 50 years, with varying past medical histories and concurrent medications, whose number of headache days increased following COVID-19 vaccination (with either Sinopharm or AstraZeneca). All patients were undergoing an ongoing clinical trial at Sina Hospital in Tehran, Iran, receiving BTX-A treatment according to a standard protocol. Routine neurological examinations and brain MRIs (magnetic resonance imaging) were performed, and they were asked to complete monthly headache diaries detailing the frequency and intensity of headaches and abortive medications used. Conclusions: Based on the observed outcomes, the authors hypothesize that COVID-19 vaccination within the initial month of botulinum toxin administration could attenuate its efficacy in managing CM. Patients should be made aware of this possibility. Consequently, it is recommended that physicians might consider rescheduling the administration of BTX-A for CM management based on their clinical judgment.
Effects of Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention Therapy on Drug Craving and Emotion Regulation of Therapeutic Community Centers Clients
Authors: Hosseini Parvin Sadat , Eftekhar Saadi Zahra , Johari Fard Reza
Published: July 2023

Background: Many substance abusers suffer uncontrollable symptoms of extreme stress and cannot regulate their emotions after a traumatic experience. Objectives: This study hence investigated the effects of mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP) therapy on drug craving and emotion regulation of therapeutic community (TC) center clients. Methods: This quasi-experimental research adopted a pretest-posttest control group design. The statistical population included all stimulant-related (methamphetamine) visitors to treatment centers (TCs) of Khuzestan Province (Iran) in 2022. The convenience sampling method was employed to select 40 participants, who were assigned to an experimental group and a control group (20 members per group). The experimental group received MBRP therapy (eight 90-minute sessions), whereas the control group received no interventions and remained on the waiting list. The data were collected by using the Desires for Drug Questionnaire (DDQ) and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. The ANCOVA was used for data analysis in SPSS-26. Results: The mean and standard deviation (± SD) of the drug cravings and emotion regulation for the MBRP group in the posttest were 46.85 ± 4.47 and 27.50 ± 2.72, respectively; while in the control group, the means were 69.30 ± 7.25 and 29.60 ± 2.16, respectively. MBRP had a significant effect on drug cravings and emotion regulation in clients of TC centers (P < 0.001). According to the results, MBRP effectively reduced drug cravings and improved the emotion regulation of participants in the experimental group. Conclusions: According to the findings, MBRP improved drug cravings and emotion regulation. Hence, MBRP can be adopted to help mitigate drug cravings and enhance the emotion regulation of patients in rehabilitation.

The research was carried out on 382 students who voluntarily participated. Data was collected using the Introductory Information Form and the Nursing Anxiety and Self-confidence with Clinical Decision-Making Scale (NASC-CDM). The SPSS software version 21.0 was used for data analysis. Independent samples t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare the data of the two groups. İn addition, the data were compared between more than two groups by one-way ANOVA and Kruskal Wallis-H test. Results: We observed that 77.72% of the participants were female, with a mean age of 21.120 ± 1.118 years, and 70.7% were third-year students. More than half of the students reported that preventive measures against COVID-19 were taken sufficiently in surgical clinics. It was found that the mean self-confidence score was 113.68 ± 26.18 (range: 27.00 - 162.00), and the mean anxiety score was 65.53 ± 27.37 (range: 27.00 - 162.00). There was a statistically significant difference between the scale score mean and the characteristics of the students, such as class level, the reason for choosing the department of nursing, the desire for graduate education, COVID-19 history, fear of contracting COVID-19, follow-up of surgical patients with positive COVID-19 test (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, it was found that nursing students’ self-confidence levels were high, and their anxiety levels were low.

Published: July 2023

This research was conducted to analyze the use of sentence stick learning media to improve maharah istima' as an effort to improve maharah istima' abilities. This study uses a qualitative research approach because the data influencing research results are descriptive, while the type of research used in this research is phenomenology. The results of the research found several findings. First, the selection of sentence stick media is used to improve maharah kalam and vocabulary (mufradat). Second, the application of sentence stick media is effective in increasing maharah istima' and vocabulary (mufradat). Third, the motivation to learn and teach students and educators increases. Fourth, efficient learning time. However, several factors hinder the learning process by utilizing sentence stick media as the results of the following research. First, too much focus on the application of sentence stick media. Second, tools and materials cannot be used in the long term. Third, not all materials can use sentence stick media.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the implementation of the assessment of Al-Qur'an learning by using the poetry method. The approach used in this research is a qualitative approach using the descriptive-analytical method. The results of this study reveal that the assessments used in tahfidz Qur’an learning with the poetry method are the mid-semester assessment (PTS) and the end-semester assessment (PAS). The form of assessment used is an oral test in the form of a sima’ reading test, verse-connecting test, and a comprehensive test. This assessment is carried out 4 times a year. Students are declared passed when they get a minimum score of B with a minimum score of 81 and vice versa are declared to repeat when they get a C score with a score of 70. This assessment is not only on memorizing the Qur'an but memorizing poems is also assessed by the examiner. The findings in this study indicate that students have quite good abilities when tested using the sima' reading test. Students are lower in their abilities if they are tested by verse-connecting questions. Then students have a very low ability if tested using a comprehensive test.
Sayf al-Dīn al-Āmidī’s (d. 631/1233) Kashf al-tamwīhāt fī sharḥ al-Ishārāt wa-l-tanbīhāt: Avicennan Philosophy as Currency in the Struggle for Influence
Authors: Hassan Laura ,   Journal of Islamic Philosophy
Published: July 2023

Given the proliferation of commentarial works in the post-Ghazālian era of Islamic intellectual history, the close study of individual commentaries has recently become a key schol­arly concern. To take us beyond the necessarily generalizing categories presented by Dimitri Gutas when he first charted the territory of this genre, an approach is needed that involves narrow textual analysis without neglecting the broader context in which a work is authored. Among the works that were initially taken by Gutas as evidence of the “mainstream Avicennism” of their authors is Sayf al-Dīn al-Āmidī’s (d. 631/1233) Kashf al-tamwīhāt fī sharḥ al-Ishārāt wa-l-tanbīhāt, in which he sets out to critique Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī’s (d. 610/1210) commentary on Ibn Sīnā’s Pointers and Reminders. In this article, I study the work from three perspectives. Firstly, I consider the con­tents of the Kashf, in terms of both the scope and the nature of its interaction with al-Rāzī’s first-order commentary on the Ishārāt. Secondly, I calibrate the findings of my textual analysis with materials taken from the accounts of al-Āmidī’s biographers, showing that these sources are mutually interpre­tive. Thirdly, I analyze the Kashf from within the context of his broader corpus. Together, I argue, these three perspec­tives contribute to a more nuanced understanding of what it means to describe al-Āmidī’s Kashf as a work of Avicennism.
Textual Circulations and Citation Regimes: A Commentary as a Library in the Indian Ocean
Authors: Kooria Mahmood ,   Journal of Islamic Philosophy
Published: July 2023

Before the popularization of the printing press, the circula­tion of commentarial texts across regional borders, especially of Islamic texts outside of the Middle East, remains largely unexplored. This article focuses on the movement of Islamic manuscripts in the Indian Ocean world, from South and East Africa to South and East Asia. Together with merchants, sail­ors, travelers, and commodities, the books also traveled long distances, replete with ideas, stories, dreams, myths, norms, manners, and emotions. What was the role of manuscripts in the expansion of Islam into the premodern oceanic world and in religio-cultural exchanges between central Islamic lands and the larger world? What sorts of books did people access, read, and use, and what did the circulation of these texts imply? I address these questions with a broad focus on the oceanic littoral and Islamic manuscripts and a specific focus on one of the ports and a legal commentary. Based on this analytical exercise of zooming-out and zooming-in between macro- and micro-maritime textual histories anchored in the sixteenth century, I argue that the citations of specific manuscripts reveal the prominence of a transregional circula­tion of certain texts, along with their contextual cultures of reading, writing, producing, and circulating commentaries.

Authors: Wiwin Suciati  , Hastini Hastini
Published: July 2023

This research aims to prove how (KWL) Know-Want-Learn strategy can enhance the reading comprehension of MAN 1 Parigi students in the tenth grade. This research used a quantitative approach using a single pretest and posttest research design. The researcher conducted her research in two classes, one experimental and one control. In the experimental class, there were 28 students, while there were 27 in the control class. The researcher employed pretest and posttest to gather data. Paired sample t-test aided SPSS application version 25 for Windows was used to analyze the data. Based on the findings of this research, it is possible to conclude that (KWL) Know-Want-Learn strategy succeeded in improving the reading comprehension of tenth-grade students at MAN 1 Parigi. This is proven from the paired sample t-test analysis that the significance value (2-tailed) was 0.000 < 0.05, meaning there is a significant distinction within the student learning outcomes for the pretest and post-test.

Hazardous chemicals are called life-threatening particles because they have the ability and character to pose a threat and risk to human health and the environment. They have ignitability, toxicity, corrosivity, oxidative and ecotoxicity characteristics, which may be included in flammable liquids, gases, solids, explosive or blasting substances, and infectious or infectious radioactive agent elements. The route of exposure is either through ingestion, inhalation, absorption or injection by contact of people which hazardous chemicals containing water, soil, food and air. This causes many health hazards, including chronic and acute disorders of eyes, skin and other body organs and damages the functioning of specific organs. However, these substances' health surveillance and risk assessment exposure can be controlled.
