Authors: Islam Muttakin , Ahmed Ahsanul , Hasan Mir Md Mehedi , Islam Md. Mazharul , Islam Mohibul , Sobhan Sanjana , Sardar Sazu
Published: November 2024

Tourism Risk Perception (TRP) is a crucial factor that shapes the overall experience and satisfaction of visitors to a particular destination. The overall objective of this study was to analyze the TRP of Bangladesh. Specifically, the authors analyzed the TRP of Nature-Based Tourism, Archeological Tourism, and Amusement Parks in Bangladesh. A weighted model called the TRP model (Ciu et. al., 2016; Zang, 2012) was applied to measure the TRP. The data was collected from 800 tourists through systematic sampling techniques and 760 of them were usable. The study found that tourists perceived higher risk in Nature-Based Tourism destinations (TRP 5.38) in Bangladesh than in Archeological (TRP 5.25) and Amusement Parks (5.19). When considering individual dimensions of risk perception, the lack of medical/first aid services presented the highest risk (TRP 9.84). Overcharging in restaurants and shopping (TRP 8.07), unhygienic food (TRP 8.03), and overcharging in local transportation (TRP 7.80) are among the other high-risk TRP. The lowest risk was posed by the negative attitude of family and friends (TRP 2.73), the lack of quality leisure time (TRP 3.31), and the feeling of contentment (3.62). To address these issues, this study proposed multi-faceted approaches such as improving medical and first aid services, addressing price transparency and fair pricing, enhancing food safety and hygiene, enhancing information dissemination and risk communication, and conducting regular monitoring and evaluation. These comprehensive strategies aim to enhance the overall tourist experience while mitigating perceived risks

Published: November 2024

Poor natural durability is a key feature hindering the acceptance of most lesser-used wood species, such as Brachstegia spiciformis, Julbernadia globiflora, and Sterculia appendiculata. Generally, the durability of the aforementioned wood species is improved by impregnating its timber with toxic chemicals contained in standard wood preservatives. In this study, eco-friendly wood preservatives based on extractives sourced from sawdust of naturally durable species such as chanfuta (Afzelia quanzensis) and mecrusse (Androstachys jonhsonnii) were used to treat the group of aforementioned perishable wood species. After pressure treatment, the study assessed the durability responses using standardized in vitro durability test methods against brown rot fungus Postia placenta and white rot fungus Trametes versicolor (EN 113-1:2018) and changes of compression strength parallel to the grain (ISO 3787). The samples of perishable timber species were impregnated with separated extractives-based preservatives of chanfuta and mecrusse in five concentrations (0.5 mg/mL, 1.0 mg/mL, 1.5 mg/mL, 2.0 mg/mL, and 2.5 mg/mL). A subset of treated samples was leached (SS-EN 84:2020-E) to infer preservative fixation and also exposed to the same wood-destroying fungi. The results showed that both extractive formulations (chanfuta and mecrusse) changed the durability ratings of perishable species. Firstly, the subset of treated and unleached samples of Brachystegia spiciformis improved from non-durable to moderately durable, Sterculia appendiculata to durable class and Julbernadia globiflora samples improved to very durable class; secondly, after leaching, the durability remained unchanged (non-durable class) for Brachstegia spiciformis but improved from non-durable to a moderately durable class for both Julbernadia globiflora and Sterculia appendiculata timber species against Trametes versicolor. The compression strength of perishable timber species treated with mecrusse increased and decreased in samples treated with chanfuta. The dosage of both wood extractive formulations did not affect compression strength
Optimizing Available International Remedies for the Return of Cultural Artifacts: The Case of Eritrea
Authors: Hayle Makda Gebru , Zahoor Maham
Published: November 2024

The identity of the artifacts taken from the origin states belongs to the state, as identity cannot be altered or modified. Besides, these cultural assets in their states of origin enjoy the living spirit, value, and respect of the people they belong to and provide the essence of historical legacy to their future generations. Eritrea, a small country in the east of Africa, had been under subjective colonizers for more than 100 years, where colonizers, primarily Italy and Ethiopia, confiscated many of the cultural artifacts of this country. Ethiopia started to seize historical objects in the early 12th and 13th centuries from the Adulis archaeological site and Debrebizen, a monastery near Eritrea’s capital city, later around 55 objects including sarcophagi, tombs, pottery, and coins, were taken to Ethiopia and remained in the Museums of Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia. This research paper attempts to find a possible way to regain Eritrean artifacts. Further, using the method of case study analysis, this research has managed to provide solutions for Eritrea despite the absence of international legal suits. The case studies entail that in the absence of legal remedies, states still cooperate to return historically taken cultural properties. Also, the return of historical cultural properties has become central to diplomatic dialogue among states. The beneficial outcomes of peace treaties signed between Italy and Libya, Italy and Ethiopia, unilateral declaration of the French Government, enactment of laws by the federal laws of the USA, and the laws enacted by the French government for the return of historically taken cultural properties to Spain and Japan, the negotiations between Italy and the US, the mediation between France and Nigeria, the successful arbitration case of Maria Altmann and the Republic of Austria are the selected and discussed cases during this study. Furthermore, cases are selected based on their successful nature and their impact and influence on international cultural heritage law. Moreover, the paper has also pointed out the underlying and potential challenges that Eritrea may face in claiming the historically taken artifacts. Finally, the paper recommends, on the side of Eritrea, the use of the peace agreement signed with Ethiopia as a legal base to initiate bilateral negotiations and all forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms to claim the return of historically taken cultural properties from Italy and Ethiopia. Suggestively, Italy and Ethiopia must realize the importance of those looted properties to the state of Eritrea and must unilaterally declare their return through legislation, administrative measures, political declaration, or peace agreements

SEXISM, PATRIARCHY AND WOMEN’S DETECTIVE FICTION: A FEMINIST ANALYSIS OF MARCIA MULLER’S SHARON MCCONE SERIES
Authors: Patnaik P.V.Geetha Lakshmi
Published: November 2024

Detective fiction, which was traditionally dominated by men as writers, protagonists and readers, was one of the first genres to be appropriated by women after the second wave of feminism. It provided the opportunity for women to focus attention on issues concerning women, reflecting the complexity and diversity of all the various facets of contemporary feminism. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, writers like Marcia Muller, Sara Paretsky and Sue Grafton took up the masculinist and misogynist American hard-boiled detective novel of the 1930s and 1940s and rewrote it for feminist ends. This paper analyses the treatment of sexism and patriarchy in women’s detective fiction with specific reference to Marcia Muller’s Edwin of the Iron Shoes (1977) and There’s Something in a Sunday (1989).
Agricultural Policy As An Appropriate Strategy For The Socio-Economic Development Of The Democratic Republic Of Congo: Case Of The Idiofa Territory
Authors: OKIE Armand KWANKATA OWIN , LUKUMU Luckys KWASI , MWADIAMVITA Godefroid BONDO
Published: November 2024

This article is a concern with an existential and lasting paradox putting on one side the DR Congo, a country potentially rich in its soil and subsoil and on the other, a large country with a predominantly young population which is languishing in the most crushing poverty on the planet, still ranking it at the bottom of the scale on all sustainable development indicators, in comparison with other nations sometimes less rich in soil and subsoil. Thus, faced with this impasse, we propose, through this article, to look at agricultural policy as an appropriate strategy for the socio-economic development of the territory of Idiofa, province of Kwilu in the Democratic Republic of Congo, DRC. We assumed that the absence of appropriate strategies at the local and national level was among the main causes of continued underdevelopment in the territory of Idiofa and by extension throughout the DRC. Several strategies can be adopted to raise the standard of living of the rural population of Idiofa Territory. Regarding the strategies adopted to raise the standard of living of the Idiofa farmer, the results show that two strategies are essential. Those which consist of improving the marketing channels for agricultural products at the local level, because through these the other strategies mentioned will ipso facto be successful. At the national level, the emergence of the national bourgeoisie will lead to positive socio-economic repercussions in the life of the farmer stuck in the lineage and in the inner loop who languishes in total poverty.
Employability Of Unsupervised Machine Learning Techniques For Elimination Of Electrodermal Activity Artefacts During And Post Surgeries
Authors: Agarwal Saksham
Published: November 2024

Detecting and removing artefacts is crucial in data preprocessing pipelines for physiological time series data, mainly when collected outside controlled experimental settings. The fact that such artefacts are often easily identifiable visually suggests that unsupervised machine learning algorithms could be practical without requiring manually labelled training datasets. Current methods are often heuristic-based, not generalizable, or designed for controlled experimental settings with fewer artefacts. In this study, we evaluate the effectiveness of three unsupervised learning algorithms—Isolation Forests, One-Class Support Vector Machine, and K-Nearest Neighbor Distance—in removing heavy cautery-related artefacts from electrodermal activity (EDA) data collected during surgeries involving six subjects. We defined 12 features for each half-second window as inputs to the unsupervised learning methods. We compared each subject's best-performing unsupervised learning method to four existing EDA artefact removal methods. The unsupervised learning method was the only approach that removed the artefacts across all six subjects. This approach can be easily extended to other types of physiological data in complex settings.

How Do Factors That Affect The Consumption Of Personal Luxury Goods Vary Across Middle-Income And High-Income Households In India?
Authors: Jain Aahana
Published: November 2024

This paper studies how factors that affect the consumption of personal luxury goods vary across Middle-income and High-Income households in India. It explores how income and price changes impact luxury consumption using primary data from a survey of 100 participants in Mumbai, India. It uses secondary data to support the data collected from the survey. The study analyzes behavioural economic theories to understand consumption behaviour. It also uses economic theories like the Keynesian Consumption Function, income elasticity of demand, and price elasticity of demand to highlight the distinct behaviours of each income group. The findings reveal that middle-income households are much more sensitive to price and income changes as compared to high-income households for a variety of reasons that are explored in the paper.

部が構想した義務教育の様子を検討し、日帝强占期における朝鮮総督府の教育官僚及び朝鮮人の義務教育の導入要求に対する談論分析を通して集団の間の葛藤様相を明らかにした。そして、朝鮮総督府が推進した朝鮮人初等教育拡充及び普及計画と義務教育導入計画の実体を検討し、日本で推進された義務教育制度の導入過程を考察した。これを通じて次のような内容が確認された。第一、近代韓国における義務教育の理念は1895年の｢敎育立國詔書｣と｢小學校令｣から見られるが、統監府が発布した｢普通學校令｣では削除された。第二、日帝强占期の植民政府は敎育財政の窮乏と教員需給の問題を提示しながら義務敎育制度の導入の不可方針を明らかにしたが、1938年以降の戰時動員體制の構築のために義務敎育制度の導入が可視化された。第三、日本における義務教育制度は明治年間に段階的に推進され、1900年には4年制の無償義務敎育が、1907年には6年制の無償義務教育が実施された。この際、就学率は97%であった。これらの検討を通して，日本における教育は国家の事務と規定されて義務教育が積極的に推進された反面、植民地朝鮮では戦争の準備に必要な軍人養成及び人力動員の手段として義務教育制度が構想されていたことが考えられる。朝鮮人にとって義務教育は国防の義務と連動されたもので、＇権利＇が削除されて＇義務＇だけが強要されるものであった。
This paper examines the reasons why the Japanese government's colonial education policy, encapsulated by the slogans of “Japan and Korea as one”, “universal brotherhood”, and “Great East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere”, remained passive about the implementation of the compulsory education system until Japan's defeat in war. To this end, we reviewed the emergence of compulsory education envisioned by Ministry of Education; and elucidated the pattern of the conflicts between various groups through discourse analysis on the introduction of compulsory education by the
Government-General of Korea and Koreans. In addition, while summarizing the characteristics of compulsory education envisioned by the Government-General of Korea, we also considered how it differed from the development of the compulsory education system in Japan. Our findings reveal several key points. First, the concept of compulsory education in Korea found in the “Royal Doctrine for the Establishment of Modern Education” and the “Elementary School Ordinance” of 1895; however, all of them were deleted from the “Ordinary School Ordinance” promulgated
by the Residency-General. Second, the Government-General of Korea advocated a policy against establishing a compulsory education system citing issues related to educational financing and teacher supply. However, after 1938, the need to introduce compulsory education became clear as part of preparations for a wartime mobilization system. Third, the Japan, the implementation of compulsory education progressed gradually during the Meiji period, with four-year free compulsory education in 1900 and six-year compulsory education in 1907. At this time, the enrollment
rate was 97%. These reviews showed that compulsory education was actively promoted in Japan because education was regarded as a state's affairs, whereas the purpose of introducing compulsory education in colonial Korea was primarily to cultivate 'people' as 'imperial subjects' for consc

Depression, a Major Theme of Modern Literature as the Culmination Point of the Degradation of Human Feelings Found in Victorian Literature
Authors: Khan Kalmy Muntaha Jahan , Arafat Md. Lutful
Published: November 2024

This study aims to show how life is portrayed in the Victorian Age through Victorian literature and its effects on modern literature. The paper represents depression, considered to be the central theme of modern literature, also found available in modern society where degradation of human feelings found in Victorian society and literature that acted as the catalysts of depression. To make this paper more acceptable, a comparison of Victorian and modern writers' writing styles and techniques is shown. To show the writing styles of Victorian and modern novels, Victorian novels have been described as having grotesque elements. In contrast, modern novels use a 'stream of consciousness.' Victorian poetry uses dramatic monologue, whereas modern poetry uses 'interior monologue.' Another comparison is held, keeping in mind the spiritual conditions of humans in the two periods. In the Victorian Age, people remained far away from spirituality; on the other hand, in modern society, people have an attempt to clutch the spiritual senses. Finally, this paper talks about how Victorian literature primarily reflects depression that comes from the breakdown of romantic spirits and disillusionment, followed by the rise of materialistic achievements during industrialization, which results in the cry of a departed and disinterested human soul prevailing in modern literature.

Data were collected from 132 participants—students, teachers, school administrators, and parents—through structured questionnaires. The study investigates how parental ties affect academic performance, school discipline, and overall management effectiveness. Hypotheses were tested using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, revealing significant relationships between parental involvement and student outcomes, discipline, and school administration. The findings indicate that robust parental involvement positively influences student academic performance and school management. Schools that foster strong parental partnerships benefit from enhanced governance and improved student behavior. However, barriers such as socioeconomic challenges and communication gaps persist, underscoring the need for more inclusive engagement strategies. Recommendations include implementing structured parental engagement programs, enhancing government support, and addressing language and cultural barriers. In conclusion, this study highlights the transformative potential of parental involvement in Nigerian schools. Effective school administration and improved student outcomes are closely linked to active parental participation. Addressing existing barriers and fostering collaborative school environments are essential for maximizing the benefits of parental engagement.

Published: November 2024

Private Higher Education Institutions (PHEIs) have expanded globally, embedding themselves in highly competitive markets. To navigate this environment, the enhancement of service quality, particularly through the SERVQUAL model, is crucial for gaining a competitive advantage. This paper addresses the gaps in the SERVQUAL application within PHEIs, focusing on their impact on service quality. The primary objective is to propose a measurement matrix to identify and analyse SERVQUAL gaps across PHEI campuses. The study compares two campuses, ABC and XYZ, and reveals significant discrepancies, particularly in the dimensions of reliability and responsiveness, where Campus ABC underperforms. These findings highlight the critical need for PHEIs to address service quality deficiencies in order to remain competitive and meet evolving student expectations. The research concludes that continuous improvement in service quality is essential for PHEIs to attract students and sustain their competitiveness in a globalised education market.

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to conduct a thorough review and investigation on the function and importance of AI in education. The development of technology in the sector, and the emergence of raising interest to apply this AI technologies with a view to enable disruptive efficiencies across all aspects of education.
Methodology: The study uses a systematic review of literature for exploring the existing literatures and research findings about AI implementation in Education. For learning it tells you good & bad about AI of bunchy resources, And changes because of the whether educational practices.
Results: The results suggest that AI can greatly improve the personalization of learning, being able to provide tailored activities beyond traditional strategies. But the review also highlights worries over inequalities that may arise if only a specialist few can call upon top-notch AI tools possibly deepening of the achievement gap. Furthermore, a sanguine reliance on automated solutions could compromise the core human element in education and stymie social-emotional development for our students.
Originality/value: Given the tendency for increased transparency, accountability and potential bias of AI systems in this critical domain leading to possible discrimination practices (e.g. admissions, grading etc) it is felt that the paper has great value contribution. There needs to be a spirit among policymakers, educators and developers working together to ensure that AI in education is implemented following certain principles.

Authors: Kana Etoundi René Rodrigue Lionel
Published: November 2024

La présente réflexion questionne la participation du partenaire Canadien dans le programme de coopération universitaire panafricain de l’Institut Africain des Sciences Mathématiques (AIMS). Fondé à Cape Town en Afrique du Sud en 2003, c’est en Juillet 2013 que le centre d’excellence au Cameroun ouvre ses portes. Ce programme international connait une participation effective de plusieurs parties prenantes. Parmi celles-ci, figure le Canada. La coopération au tour de cette initiative permet de proposer des activités de formation universitaire avec un encadrement novateur et environnement d’apprentissage moderne. Cependant dans quel registre du rapport coopératif faut-il inscrire la participation du partenaire canadien ? L’objectif de cet article est de mener une réflexion critique en vue de l’amélioration du partenariat multilatéral en matière de coopération universitaire en Afrique. La démarche empirico-inductive. L’étude est qualitative et exploratoire. L’approche Oumarienne (2022) de la théorie des parties prenantes permet de construire une analyse critique des contenus et des données issues des entretiens. En résultat, la présentation du programme laisse entrevoir un déploiement financier important de la part du Centre de Recherche et de Développement International canadien. L’analyse diachronique de cet apport montre que le programme panafricain est financièrement dépendant de l’apport canadien.

Published: November 2024

In Cameroon, although efforts have been made to improve access to education, children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) often remain excluded from the traditional school system, particularly in the northern regions where access to specialized infrastructure is limited. This article presents the results of a study on the design of a school complex adapted to autistic children in Ngaoundere, incorporating the principles of neuro-architecture. The survey conducted with specialists, parents, and educators provided crucial insights to create an inclusive and calming educational environment that meets the sensory and cognitive needs of the children. The site analysis in the Adamawa region, considering climatic and geographical constraints, confirmed the relevance of the location. The architectural design, focused on diverse spaces such as classrooms, sensory withdrawal zones, and common areas promoting inclusion, not only enhances the social integration of autistic children but also raises awareness in the community about the importance of their education. This project, rooted in an ecological and cultural approach, represents a sustainable and innovative initiative for Cameroon’s education system.
