Kwame Nkrumah's Vision for African Unity: A Protection against any Colonial Policy in Africa
Authors: Mangalala Brel GrÃ¢ce
Published: May 2024

The present study investigates Kwame Nkrumah’s Pan-African visionfor African unity. Through a historical perspective, the study reveals that Nkrumah insisted that the advantage of having aunified military will be to assure our own security, defense and to achieve freedom for every part of Africa. It is also one of the ways to eliminate European military presence and standing armies in our countries, as well as to eradicate the imperialist forces which are engineering our division and seeking to make Africa a war-ground of contending interest. Nkrumah also believed that the “world peace is not possible without the liquidation of colonialism and the total liberation of Africa.” The paper recommends that the African people must think of Nkrumah’s vision today in order to seek the way for the total liberation of Africa, if not Africa will remain under the European, American and the Asian domination.

Authors: Khaskheli Rabia , Weiping Zhang , Abbasi Mazhar Hussain
Published: May 2024

Tourism has recently emerged as one of the world's most important industries. Heritage tourism, on the other hand, is among the tourism industry's sectors with the fastest growth. Heritage destinations are developed in large part by tourist attractions, especially historical ones. Pakistan's cultural centre, Lahore, is home to a major Mughal legacy. Due to the amount and calibre of its historical attractions, it is an important historical tourist destination in Pakistan. Despite Lahore's excellent heritage tourism potential, tourism hasn't always grown as it should because of a number of challenges.This paper’s goal is to pinpoint possible Lahore historical sites for tourism promotion. In addition, the difficulties facing Lahore's heritage tourism industry and some recommendations based on theoretical analysis and empirical research are provided. This paper discusses a variety of theoretical viewpoints on the growth of tourist destinations, covering the marketing and distribution of destinations, the cost of destinations, how terrorism affects destinations, and the identity and integrity of destinations. In order to gather and analyse empirical data, these theories are employed. Lastly, the author provides a proposal suggestion on how to make the Mughal Gardens a more desirable historical tourist attraction in Lahore.
Pragmatic Propositions for Dative Argument Realization in Pashto
Authors: Rahman Ghani
Published: May 2024

The present study investigates the different encoding possibilities of the dative argument in Pashto. The study specifically focuses on pragmatic propositions for dative argument realization in the language. The data for the present was selected from the corpora of natural discourse and texts. The data showed that there are three encoding possibilities for a dative argument, i.e., the dative argumentcan occur alone as NP-exclusive without a VC; the dative argument may also be realized by the VC as VC-only without overt dative argument in the clause and the dative argument may occur with the VC causing clitic doubling in the language. The dative argument itself appears in different forms driven by different pragmatic conditions. The study investigates these pragmatic conditions and their influence on the morphosyntactic properties of the dative arguments. The clitic alone is the unmarked way of encoding dative argument and clitic doubling appears to be the marked realization when the referents deviate from the expected accessibility level.
Predictors of Islamic Religiosity in Youth who have Early Madrassah Education
Authors: Farhan Muhammad , Jafree Sara Rizvi
Published: May 2024

The theory of lived religion proposes that people who are socialized by their early education system about religious beliefs have a stronger commitment to practice religion. At the same time, the integrative theory of peace argues that higher religiosity can play an instrumental role in peacebuilding within a nation. The aim of this study is to understand the relationship between early Madrassah education and Islamic religiosity in university students, measured under five domains of (i) beliefs, (ii) commitment, (iii) intellectual experience, (iv) intrinsic values, and (v) practice. Using a quantitative methodology, a sample of 152 youth were sampled from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab. We found that that Pakistani youth show high Islamic religiosity in two sub-domains of beliefs and commitment, but that they show low Islamic religiosity in in three sub-domains of intellectual experience, intrinsic values, and practice. The results also suggest that females and youth from KPK have greater Islamic religiosity, and that youth with greater spiritual values make higher financial contributions to the religious organization. The study concludes with key recommendations, some of which include the need for Madrassah.
A child with unilateral abducens nerve palsy and neurovascular compression in Chiari malformation type 1 resolved with posterior fossa decompression: illustrative case
Authors: Kozel Olivia A , Shao Belinda , Doberstein Cody A , Amaral-Nieves Natalie , Anderson Matthew N , Harappanahally Gita V , Langue Michael A , Svokos Konstantina A
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND

Unilateral cranial nerve (CN) VI, or abducens nerve, palsy is rare in children and has not been reported in association with Chiari malformation type 1 (CM1) in the absence of other classic CM1 symptoms.

OBSERVATIONS

A 3-year-old male presented with acute incomitant esotropia consistent with a unilateral, left CN VI palsy and no additional neurological symptoms. Imaging demonstrated CM1 without hydrocephalus or papilledema, as well as an anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) vessel loop in the immediate vicinity of the left abducens nerve. Given the high risk of a skull base approach for direct microvascular decompression of the abducens nerve and the absence of other classic Chiari symptoms, the patient was initially observed. However, as his palsy progressed, he underwent posterior fossa decompression with duraplasty (PFDD), with the aim of restoring global cerebrospinal fluid dynamics and decreasing possible AICA compression of the left abducens nerve. Postoperatively, his symptoms completely resolved.

LESSONS

In this first reported case of CM1 presenting as a unilateral abducens palsy in a young child, possibly caused by neurovascular compression, the patient’s symptoms resolved after indirect surgical decompression via PFDD.

Authors: Pratiwi Sari Indah , Soetjiningsih Christiana  Hari
Published: May 2024

This study is quantitative correlational research which aims to determine the relationship between patience and academic stress. In this study, researchers used a purposive sampling technique with a total of 103 participant’s final year psychology students from the 2020 class of Psychology at Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana, who were working on their TA/thesis. The research instrument uses a patience scale and an academic stress scale. This research uses Spearman product moment correlation data analysis method. The results showed a correlation of r = -0,212 and a significance value of 0,016 (p <0,05). These results show that there is a negative relationship between patience and academic stress in final year students who are working on their thesis, which means that the higher the patience, the lower the academic stress. On the other hand, the lower the patience, the higher the academic stress. The results of this research can provide knowledge and coping for final year students who are working on their thesis so that they can increase their patience so that they can minimize academic stress when working on their thesis. This study associates the variable of patience with the variable of academic stress because the results of previous studies have not been conclusive, namely showing pro-contra results. In addition, the concept of patience is considered a positive character and is an important part of well-being which is one part of the study of positive psychology.

Reclaiming Public Spaces amidst COVID-19 Pandemic: Tactical Urbanism as a ‘Resilience’ Response
Authors: Shah Sarah Javed , Akhtar Munazzah , Qureshi Rabia Ahmed
Published: May 2024

Several cities were struck by the global COVID-19 pandemic in the year 2020. The rapid and hazardous spread of the crisis resulted in a profound urban transformation, changing the fundamentals of urban living. This research provides a perspective regarding the vulnerability and resilience of cities, particularly their public spaces. Public spaces, a significant component of the urban realm, remained fundamental in transforming cities during the pandemic. Implementing radical measures to minimize the spread of the virus and adopting emergency plans to resist the subsequent socioeconomic collapse demonstrated the varying yet synchronized stance on resilience. Two key approaches are used to pursue the concept of resilience as a strategic framework for public spaces. These include a balancing or bounce-back approach, which supports the idea of ‘return to normal’. The other is an evolutionary or bounce-forward tactic, characterized by adaptive capacity and transformation. This research reflects on the adaptive capacity of ‘resilience’ in public spaces, in which ‘tactical urbanism’ as an effective tool is used to create flexible, low-cost, and temporary design strategies to achieve public health goals and urban sustainability. It also discusses the examples of tactical interventions in public spaces during the pandemic and manifests the strength of temporary tactics to bring long-term change. The research concludes by proposing a new paradigm for public space planning, associating tactical urbanism and incorporating the evolutionary or adaptive capacity of resilience. The discussed strategies instil a vision for designing resilient public spaces for highly anticipated future pandemics and other hazards.

Published: May 2024

This study delves into the vital task of classifying chest X-ray (CXR) samples, particularly those related to respiratory ailments, using advanced clinical image analysis and computer-aided radiology techniques. Its primary focus is on developing a classifier to accurately identify COVID-19 cases. Through the application of machine learning and computer vision methodologies, the research aims to enhance the precision of COVID-19 detection. It investigates the effectiveness of Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) feature extraction techniques in conjunction with various classifiers, such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree (DT), Naive Bayes (NB), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), and Tree Bagger (TB), alongside an innovative ensemble learning approach. Results indicate impressive accuracy rates, with KNN, SVM, DT, NB, and TB all surpassing the 90% mark. However, the ensemble learning method emerges as the standout performer. By leveraging HOG features extracted from CXR images, this approach presents a robust solution for COVID-19 diagnosis, offering a powerful tool to address the diagnostic challenges posed by the pandemic.

Authors: Kumar Aakash , Chin Draupathi
Published: May 2024

Amidst increasing global electricity consumption, governments prioritize energy efficiency and electric vehicle (EV) integration into energy markets. This study examines EV aggregator strategies employing smart charging methods, adjusting charging rates based on user preferences. Through simulations in Quito's distribution system, it analyzes actions' effects on aggregator costs and technical conditions, with a focus on demand response (DR) strategies, particularly in residential areas. Exploring EVs' potential as energy storage via vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) options, the study introduces a collaborative evaluation of dynamic pricing and peak power limiting-based DR strategies, integrating bi-directional EV and energy storage system (ESS) use. It also proposes a novel mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model for home energy management (HEM), incorporating distributed renewable energy, V2H/V2G capabilities, two-way ESS energy trading, and diverse DR strategies. This comprehensive approach assesses the impact of EV owner preferences and ESS availability on reducing total electricity costs through case studies.

Published: May 2024

The article examines the prerequisites for the development of professional culture, competence and cultural competence of teachers. The most important condition for the development of the teachers’ cultural competence is continuous education based on a cultural approach. The implementation of the educational tasks of life-long education should be oriented towards a cultural basis. Today the growth of cultural and linguistic diversity in the academic environment requires the development of the level of teachers’cultural competence. The significant changes in Kazakhstan's education system are directly related to global trends. Critical thinking, analysis and synthesis, the ability to optimally solve problems, stress tolerance, and professional flexibility are identified as the main skills in demand in the labor market. Competence is realized through interiorization, inculturation and socialization with an exchange for the paradigm of education of the "man of culture". While the humanistic nature of the competence principle makes it possible to create a mechanism for the optimal solution of the issues that have arisen, the humanizing potential of the cultural approach depends on the difficulties of the activity direction. The categories of "pedagogical culture and professional competence" as components of the main topic are deeply analyzed in the course of the study. A detailed review of the scientific literature is made. The article presents the results of surveys and questionnaires among teachers and students, and controls professional activities. Comprehensive monitoring of reflexive analyses and relevant documents contributed to the drawing of specific conclusions of the work. "Cultural competence" refers to the totality of cultural knowledge, skills and methods of implementing tasks, the ability to determine the productivity of socio-professional activities. As a result of the scientific research, the authors concluded that one of the ways to develop cultural competence is to improve the skills of teachers.

The change of scientific paradigms requires the participants of the scientific and pedagogical process to actively search for ways to solve important pedagogical tasks. The study presents an analysis of the situation of the development of functional literacy of students in chemistry lessons within the framework of a shortened training program. At the same time, in relation to the subject of chemistry, the problem of the development of natural science literacy is considered in detail. In the course of the study, the scientific works of foreign and Kazakhstani scientists on the designated problem were studied, on the basis of which conclusions were drawn about the need to use the potential of the activity methodology. This need is dictated by the observed transformation of the system of education and upbringing of the Republic of Kazakhstan. We are convinced that the development of this problem is relevant for solving the issue of scientific substantiation of the development of functional literacy of students, which is the key to the readiness of the individual to live in a changing reality. Functional literacy is stated as an important component of the basic competencies of the individual. Improving the level of functional literacy is one of the key tasks of the system of general secondary education of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The analysis of the content of normative documents regulating the system of general secondary education in terms of ensuring the results of training for the development of functional literacy in terms of its component of natural science literacy in chemistry lessons within the framework of a shortened training program makes it possible to determine the main trends in the planning of the educational process in this direction.

In the scientific article, the author reviewed psychological theories by conducting a historical analysis of the phenomenon of "happiness". It is established that the phenomenon of "happiness" in psychological science is constantly discussed in the conclusions of scientists on hedonism and eudenomism by two main scientific approaches. In addition, many factors that currently affect happiness were put forward by the American sociologist and political scientist Ronald Inglehart, basing his global values on the conclusions of research work. The research methods used were desk research, a review of scientific papers, theoretical and methodological analysis, secondary data analysis. The main information of the article consists of various theories and scientific approaches and modern research works related to the phenomenon of "happiness" in psychological science. The conclusion of the article states that the concepts of "happiness" and "well-being" are concepts that still complement each other in psychological science. We came to the conclusion that people evaluate happiness objectively and subjectively, hedonistically and eudemonistically.

Despite the strengthening of the world globalization processes accompanied by the development of individualistic values and devaluation of basic values, today we witness that contrary to this there is a strengthening of universal values, primarily related to the increase of spirituality in general. In our opinion, this paradox is caused, first of all, by the events that are taking place in the world today - coronovirus, military actions unleashed by Russia, various natural cataclysms and others. This leads not only to the actualization of the study of value orientations, but also to a change in the paradigm of their research. The study of the peculiarities of value orientations of modern youth is of particular importance, since it is demanded by the actual requirements of the social situation of development of the changing personality of the new generation, formed at the turn of the century - XX and XXI, having no experience of Soviet education and upbringing. Object of the research: students studying at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. Empirical base of the study: Kazakh National University named after Al-Farabi. The study involved 131 students (1-4 courses) studying at the Faculty of Philosophy and Political Science (FPS). The conducted research showed that modern Kazakhstani students (by the example of students of KazNU named after Al-Farabi) have developed more values of Self-Transcendence (Self-Transcendence), including universalism and kindness. The formed values fully manifest themselves in the sphere of moral consciousness, moral actions and personal moral (spiritual) properties, which is confirmed by statistically revealed interrelations. The scientific and practical significance of the study lies in the fact that its results reflect, on the one hand, the formation and ongoing transformation of values in modern youth, on the other hand - the conflict between the way things should be and the way they want to be, what guidelines are set by external social reality. Consequently, the value orientations of modern Kazakhstani students are conditioned by the social situation of development of a changing personality in a changing world.

Each state undertakes to protect human rights and creates appropriate legislation and institutional structures for this, including national human rights institutions. Traditionally, national human rights institutions are defined as state structures for the promotion and protection of human rights. The activity of the institution of the Commissioner for human rights as an individual model of a national human rights institution is based on the norms established by the Paris Principles of 1993. The Paris Principles became the document that installed standards for the work of national human rights institutions, taking into account their diversity. The Republic of Kazakhstan has joined the majority of international treaties dealing with human rights issues. An important step in implementing the obligations under these agreements was the establishment of the institution of the Commissioner for human rights or ombudsman in 2002. The Ombudsman is an official with the authority to monitor the observance of human rights and freedoms and restore them within his competence. His activities complement the current system of state protection of human rights and freedoms. This article examines the features of the institution of the Ombudsman of the Republic of Kazakhstan, analyzes its compliance with international standards, and determines the directions of its further development.
