Digital Transformation in Banking: A Systematic Review Of Trends, Technologies, And Challenges
Authors: Munira Mosa Sumaiya Khatun
Published: January 2025

This study systematically reviews the transformative impact of digital transformation in the banking sector, focusing on trends, technologies, and challenges that shape modern financial institutions. By analyzing 150 peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025, this study highlights the critical role of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, and digital wallets in enhancing operational efficiency, customer experiences, and financial inclusion. The findings reveal how AI and ML drive predictive analytics, fraud detection, and personalized service delivery while mobile banking and digital wallets revolutionize accessibility and convenience, especially in underserved regions. Blockchain technology emerges as a game-changer, offering secure and transparent financial transactions, reducing costs, and fostering trust. The review also identifies significant challenges, including cybersecurity threats, regulatory compliance, and environmental implications, particularly the energy demands of digital infrastructures. Furthermore, this study highlights gaps in existing literature, such as limited long-term impact studies and insufficient cross-regional analyses. This comprehensive synthesis provides valuable insights for banking institutions, policymakers, and researchers seeking to align digital transformation initiatives with strategic, operational, and sustainability goals, ensuring a balanced approach to innovation and inclusivity in the financial sector.

Lejerbevægelsen kæmper efter mere end 100 år stadig med nogle af de samme problemstillinger som i slutningen af det 19. århundrede. Dette essay fremhæver nogle af de væsentligste udfordringer for lejerbevægelsens enhed og organisering i dag, og perspektiverer til lejerkampen i udlandet – særligt i Sverige, hvor forholdene er sammenlignelige med Danmark, men hvor lejerbevægelsen står stærkt og samlet

“Jeg ønsker mig, at litteraturen får en større plads i samfundet, hvor f.eks. underklassen ikke kun er karakterer i historierne, men også er dem, der sidder med bogen [...]. Jeg ønsker mig en situation, hvor jeg ikke kun skriver om, men også til dem”. Forfatteren Dennis Gade Kofod reflekterer i dette essay over forholdet mellem litteratur og klasse i dag og over selv at skrive en slags arbejderlitteratur, der “henter sin erfaring i liv, hvor krop og indtjening er bundet sammen på en anden måde end det er for langt de fleste mennesker”.

ARBEJDERHISTORIE – mellem socialhistorie, kulturhistorie og politisk historie
Authors: Knudsen Knud
Published: January 2025

Europæisk arbejderhistorie var i 1960’erne og 70’erne langt hen forankret i den socialhistoriske tradition. 1970’erne varsocialhistoriens storhedstid. Det blev der rokket ved i 1980’- erne og 90’erne i takt med bl.a. den “nye” kulturhistories udbredelse og den politiske histories genkomst. I samme periode løsnedes den tætte forbindelse mellem arbejderhistorien og socialhistorien. Artiklen søger i kort form at præsentere nogle hovedlinjer i den historiografiske udvikling inden for europæisk arbejderhistorie siden 1970 og gøre status på debatten i starten af det 21. århundrede.

Fra dagligt brød til hverdagstryghed
Authors: Schmidt Nynne Cecilie
Published: January 2025

I slutningen af 1930’erne introducerede Socialdemokratiettryghedsbegrebet i sit ideologiske sprog, hvor det med rod iBefolkningskommissionens betænkninger blev koblet til isærfamilien. I efterkrigstiden kom begrebet til at danne bro mellemfamilien og nationen, det store og det lille fællesskab, oggav således afsæt til partiets transformation fra klasseparti tilfolkeparti. Fra at have den fattige arbejderfamilie i fokus blevtryghed i løbet af 1950’erne koblet til den generelle familie –et skift, der legitimerede velfærdsekspansionen i perioden fra1950 til begyndelsen af 1970’erne.

“ …At lade hære marchere, heste trampe og kanoner buldre"
Authors: Rasmussen Palle
Published: January 2025

Palle Rasmussen: “…to set armies marching, horses stamping, and cannon thundering” Engels and Marx on the Danish-German War in 1864, Arbejderhistorie 1/2012, s. 66-83.Karl Marx and Frederick Engels attentively followed the economic and political developments of their time. This also included the conflicts between Denmark and Germany over the Schleswig-Holstein Question and the resultant war in 1864. Little was published bythem on this issue but they did discuss the conflict in their private correspondence. Their assessments as to the causes and course ofthe conflict in 1864 mirrors some of the central themes in the Marxist social analysis, namely an understanding of the issues of national liberation and social revolution, national identity and ethnicity, and the great power context for social revolution. Marx andEngels did not reject the general relevance of national liberation movements but they did judge such movements pragmatically in relation to their role in the balance between reactionary and progressive forces. Concretely, they saw the movement for Schleswig-Holstein independence as doomed to fail. In his comments on the developments in Schleswig Engels sees national identity as a social construction which is marked by, amongst other things, the efforts of the bourgeois elite to create its own platform and the strategy ofruling powers to regulate daily life and culture. He does, though, also describe the characteristics of the population in racial terms orcategories. In the context great power politics Marx and Engels ascribe to Russia the chief role as the strongest reactionary statein Europe. Marx, in particular, points to how the results experienced by Russia on other fronts determine the fact of its less robust intervention in the 1864 conflict. At the same time both Marx and Engels show how the Schleswig War plays a part in the advancement of Prussia as the dominant European power.
Civilreligiøsitet i den danske arbejderbevægelse
Authors: Colerick Martin , Holm Ask
Published: January 2025

Martin Colerick & Ask Holm: Civil religion in the early Danish Labor Movement, 1871- 1900, Arbejderhistorie 1/2012, s. 31-47.In the second half of the nineteenth century, the processes of industrialization and urbanization created new social classes that werethe basis for the formation of the Danish labor movement. Another important development was the secularization process, wherereligion was replaced by rationality. According to Grace Davies secularization thesis, the religion was not replaced, but the function ofreligion in pre-modern societies was transformed. This can be shown using the term civil religion in an analysis of the Danish labor movement. The labor movement seized the opportunity of the decline in Churchbased religion to develop an organization thatoffered support not only for the workers in work-related disputes but also provided a social alternative to the Church by using symbols, rituals and activities. The Danish labor movement successfully created civil religious elements by copying religious activities as Christmas parties and funerals and creating their own symbols as the red flag.These elements provided the labor movement with a frame to involve the workers in social activities, which the labor movementused to educate and discipline. The labor movement, however, did not become a civil religious organization despite the civil religiouselements.

Authors: Rosenfeldt Niels Erik , Riisbro Julie Birkedal
Published: January 2025

Gennem de seneste år er der blevet afdækket en række vidnesbyrd om de hemmelige aktiviteter, som Den Kommunistiske Internationale, Komintern, og de forskellige sovjetiske efterretningstjenester udfoldede på dansk grund eller med dansk bistand i perioden mellem Første og Anden Verdenskrig. Artiklen nedenfor føjer yderligere nogle brikker til dette mønster. Her drejer det sig i første række om to fremtrædende sovjetspioner, der i en periode opererede i København og senere blev placeret på nogle af de vigtigste poster i det sovjetiske hemmelige politis globale efterretningsnetværk.

Det kan en retorisk analyse af de fortællinger, der bliver skabt om “arbejdervælgerne”, måske give ét af svarene på.
Gennem kendskab til venskab?
Authors: Rodewald Lasse

DDR var Europas internationale paria i statens første to årtier. Landet var diplomatisk isoleret, og intet vestligt land anerkendte styret i Østberlin, der med talrige tiltag prøvede at bryde den vesttyske Hallstein-doktrin. Danmark spillede en vigtig rolle i dette foretagende, og særdeles interessant fremstod den store, velorganiserede og Vesttysklandskritiske arbejderklasse. DDR udfoldede således et omfattende bejleri over for den danske fagbevægelse. Dette blev arrangeret af Den Danske Komité for Arbejderkonferencen.
Den grønne hovedstadsmetropol
Authors: Bro Henning
Published: January 2025

For den danske hovedstadsmetropol er åbenhed, lys, luft og betydelige rekreative områder et karakteristisk træk. Bestræbelserne i den retning havde rødder tilbage til den massive urbanisering, der tog sin begyndelsen med industrialismens gennembrud for over 150 år siden, men foldedes for alvor først ud op gennem den første halvdel af det 20. århundrede. Den socialdemokratiske arbejderbevægelse blev en central aktør i den udvikling.

Arbejdersangbogen
Authors: Hoffmann Hansen Mic
Published: January 2025

Med 95 år på bagen, har Arbejdersangbogen leveret baggrundsmusik til det meste af arbejderbevægelsens historie. De skiftende kultursyn, der er kommet til udtryk i sangbogen siden den først udkom i 1926, og dens ændrede placering i arbejderbevægelsen, gør at den i dag – måske – kan betragtes som en kulturformidlende institution. I så fald vil den kunne ses som ikke bare en bog med fællessange, men som et unikt selvstændigt vidne og medproducent af en samlet arbejderkultur. Den rette granskning af en sådan, vil kunne afdække væsentlige dele af arbejderbevægelsens udvikling og identitetsskabelse.

Men efter at kvinderne havde fået stemmeret lykkedes, det takket være støtte fra politikerne.
Venstrefløj og verdenssprog mellem krigene
Authors: Nygaard Bertel
Published: January 2025

Efter Første Verdenskrig opstod nye, radikale former for sammentænkning af verdenssprog og socialisme, især i de revolutionære arbejderesperantoforeninger, men i mindre omfang også omkring rivaliserende, yngre kunstsprog som især ido. De små, men ambitiøse miljøer gentænkte relationer mellem ikke blot sprog og samfund, men også nutid og fremtid, det nationale og det globale. Og deres projekter udtrykte på ofte sindrige måder periodens store verdenshistoriske brydninger mellem demokratiske og autoritære styreformer – og mellem kommunister, socialdemokrater og uafhængige kræfter inden for arbejderbevægelsen. Denne artikel sporer disse udviklinger med særligt henblik på deres danske udtryk. Dermed ligger den i forlængelse af den artikel om socialisme og verdenssprog op til Første Verdenskrig, som Arbejderhistorie bragte i sidste nummer
Fog versus Hedtoft – november 1943
Authors: Kirchhoff Hans
Published: January 2025

Kommunisternes fremmarch under Augustoprøret i 1943 skabte frygt for et kup, når Tyskland kapitulerede. Mogens Fog, med tætte forbindelser til DKP’s illegale ledelse, søgte i efteråret 1943 kontakt til Hans Hedtoft fra Socialdemokratiet for at mane rygterne i jorden og rydde vejen for en enhedsfront mellem de to partier. Forhandlingen affødte en brevveksling, som artiklen aftrykker in toto og sætter i kontekst. Brevene kaster et skarpt lys over forholdet mellem de to arbejderpartier i besættelsens slutfase og belyser de ideologiske og politiske problemer, som enhedsfronten rejste, og som endte med at skyde denne i sænk.

Plakater fra Nellikerevolutionen i Portugal 1974-76
Authors: Harsløf Olav
Published: January 2025

Nellikerevolutionen, Revolução dos Cravos, den ikke-voldelige revolution, hvor soldaterne stak nelliker i gevær- og kanonløbene i stedet for krudt og kugler, førte til diktaturets fald og åbning for frie valg for første gang i 50 år. I en to-årig periode blomstrede den politiske diskussion og kulturelle debat i hele Portugal, og fra de kunstneriske scener vistes forestillinger og spilledes musik, som havde været forbudt i et halvt århundrede. Olav Harsløf og Beth Juncker var i Lissabon i efteråret 1975 og oplevede alt dette. Med sig hjem havde de både farvestrålende og udtryksfulde valg- og teaterplakater, og klingende grammofonplader med nellikerevolutionens sange og musik. Det har de fundet frem her mere end 40 år efter og udstillet i kulturhuset Svanekegården, Svaneke, fra 11. november til 31. december 2017. Arbejderhistorie bringer udstillingens programartikel.
Daglige møder mellem etnicitet og klasse i en bydel
Authors: Christensen Ann-Dorte , Qvotrup Jensen Sune
Published: January 2025

Ann-Dorte Christensen and Sune Qvotrup Jensen: Daily Meetings between Ethnicity and Class in an Urban Area, Arbejderhistorie 3/2012, pp. 1-18.The article focuses on the important dimensions in contemporary social differentiation created in the meeting between ethnicity andclass. As its point of departure it takes everyday life in the stigmatized urban district of Aalborg East, which is characterized by whatthe French sociologist Loïc Wacquant calls territorial stigmatization. Emphasis is given to the significance of the ethnic and class baseddifferences which are formed in the daily interaction among the residents. A socio-cultural class approach is adopted, with particularattention given to the significance a change in class has for ethnic minorities, where transnational migration often results in a displacement of social position. Through an empirical sociological analysis the dividing lines between daily life and social demarcationare thematized, amongst other things, in relation to what is understood as respectable behaviour. It is shown in the article that thereis a particular challenge connected to the preservation of one’s class position when it comes to migration. Many migrants haveexperienced a fall in class position, which leads to a loss of status and to problems of feeling ´at home` where one comes to live in the new country. This in turn often creates a wish or an expectation among immigrants that they can restore their family status and former class position through their children. By recounting stories from the city district the article reveals how this can result in a paradoxical feeling of belonging because many parents want to ´shield` their children from the class influences in the place they live, and instead endeavor to ensure that their children are able to master Danish middle class norms.
Dette mærkelige kløftede landskab
Authors: Birke Peter
Published: January 2025

Peter Birke: This Peculiar, Divided Landscape – Commentaries to the Current Research in Urban Social Movemnets, Arbejderhistorie 3/2012, pp. 33-53.This article investigates the reception of urban revolts and urban social movements since the 1960s. It discusses the relationship between the longer history of uprisings, their contemporary media coverage and their historiography. It analyses the origins of conflicting interpretations of the meaning and logic of revolts and / or movements established by historians and social scientists in the aftermath of 1968. By proposing that the notion of “non-normative conflict” (Cloward / Piven) could be useful in an analysis of current urban protests, the article examines the ambivalence of slogans used by the “Right to the City”-movement. In particular, it examines the centrality and the limitations of the concept of “gentrification” as used both within the critical scientific community and the mainstream of urban social movements.
Den latinamerikanske venstrefløj efter den Kolde Krig
Authors: Cancino Troncoso Hugo
Published: January 2025

Hugo Cancino Troncoso: The Latin American left wing after the Cold War, Arbejderhistorie 3/2012, pp. 54-70.Throughout the 20th century Latin America was the setting for revolutions and bloody state coups. Today the left is split on the questions of globalisation, modernisation, neoliberalism, and the changing of society. In this article there is an analysis of the LatinAmerican left as situated in the new world order emerging at the end of the Cold War with the disintegration of the Soviet bloc in1992 and up until today. The different reactions and solutions to the national and continental challenges faced by the left arecritically accounted for. Either the left wing can accommodate to the new reality, as characterised by globalising and modernisingprocesses, neo-liberalism, new ethnic and social movements, or it can challenge the existing system with a political platform ofradical reform. At this moment the left is in power in many countries in Latin America and the article therefore explores the ideologicaland political foundations of the programmes on which the left variously rules and finally looks at the prospects of a unification of thedivided left.
The Heroine’s Journey and The Journey of Integrity: Illustrating Women’s Truths in a Graphic Memoir on Health, Disability, and Childhood Trauma
Authors: Milkowska-Shibata Maja Aleksandra
Published: January 2025

Women’s narratives, particularly in areas like health, disability, and trauma, have long been underrepresented, hindering a deeper understanding of their lived experiences in storytelling. To address this gap, writers and scholars have developed frameworks that offer valuable approaches for exploring and articulating the unique challenges and transformations that define women’s experiences. Notable examples of such frameworks are Maureen Murdock’s Heroine’s Journey and non-gender-specific Journey of Integrity developed by Nancer Ballard. In contrast to Joseph Campbell’s well-known Hero’s Journey paradigm, the Heroine’s Journey focuses on the personal and psychological growth of the female protagonist, emphasizing the unique challenges that come with being a woman. The Journey of Integrity follows the protagonist's quest for authenticity, moral strength, and ethical alignment, emphasizing the importance of staying true to one's values in the face of challenges. Both models complement and enrich one another. While the Heroine's Journey traditionally explores themes of self-discovery, empowerment, and overcoming external obstacles, the Journey of Integrity adds a layer of internal exploration to create a more holistic and multifaceted storytelling experience, exploring moral dilemmas, ethical decisions, and the alignment of actions with core values. This paper explores how these two frameworks enhance the understanding of female perspectives and can effectively portray women’s experiences while emphasizing their narratives. The analysis of both models is further expanded by their application to my graphic memoir in progress, which addresses themes of childhood trauma, health, and disability, as well as the resulting career in public health and interest in graphic medicine.
Notas sobre la composición del tipo iconográfico del Sueño de José: el caso de Herrera el Mozo
Authors: Madroñal López Irene
Published: January 2025

Este artículo analiza las similitudes entre el tipo iconográfico del Primer Sueño de José y el Sueño de Jacob en el contexto del arte. Aunque los paralelismos entre los personajes y las escenas sugieren una conexión visual, la representación del Primer Sueño de José en un entorno exterior no se debe únicamente a innovaciones pictóricas o a su correspondencia con el Sueño de Jacob. En cambio, esta elección se remonta al siglo XIV y se inscribe en la tradición visual occidental, ya que refleja la decisión de José de abandonar a María y huir secretamente durante la noche.
Sobre el penedimento del Bosco en la imagen de Dios Creador
Authors: González de Zárate García Jesús María
Published: January 2025

La radiografía del rostro de Dios Creador en la Creación de Eva del Jardín de las Delicias de Jheronimus Bosch, revela un penedimento consistente en el cambio de Dios como anciano (El Padre) a Dios en modo cristomorfo (el Hijo). La tradición cristiana, ya desde el Evangelio de Juan, a través de los padres de la Iglesia define a Cristo como Lo­gos Creador. El Credo de los apóstoles y el Credo niceno son también referentes que pue­den justificar, respectivamente, las dos posibles imágenes del Creador: el anciano Padre y Cristo-Logos.
Mesetas biográficas del recuerdo: una historia fronteriza de la humanidad en "Vidas perpendiculares" de Álvaro Enrigue
Authors: Crusat Cristian
Published: January 2025

El presente artículo analiza el libro de Álvaro Enrigue Vidas perpendiculares (2008), biografía imaginaria que ensaya y recorre una individualizada, agónica y violenta Historia de la humanidad, única y ajena a cualquier paralelismo de raigambre plutarquea, molde biográfico con el que el libro de Enrigue entra en colisión desde el título. De este modo, mediante el singular recuento de las vidas en las que su protagonista fue reencarnándose sucesivamente – en muy distintas épocas y lugares–, la obra de Enrigue constituye una summa textual y una audaz contribución a la más singular y excéntrica veta del bloque de la tradición biográfica, reorganizada por Marcel Schwob en Vies imaginaires (1896) y ampliamente cultivada en la literatura hispanoamericana de los siglos xx y xxi. Contemplado fundamentalmente desde la propuesta de historia no académica de la biografía (Crusat 2015), desde las distintas manifestaciones de la idea de la reencarnación en esta misma tradición biográfica y, complementariamente, desde la perspectiva de la Nomadología de Gilles Deleuze y Felix Guattari en relación con las figuras errantes, el texto de Enrigue representa a la postre una óptima y audaz expresión crítica de la movediza identidad personal y de las fronterizas leyes de la realidad humana.
Un ejercicio doméstico: las entradas biográficas del "Diccionario de autores latinoamericanos" de César Aira
Authors: Battistoni Nieves
Published: January 2025

En este artículo me propongo argumentar la idea de que es posible identifi car una reinscripción de ciertos aspectos de la tradición inaugurada por las Vidas breves de John Aubrey (reunidas y publicadas póstumamente en 1813) en el Diccionario de autores latinoamericanos de César Aira, y que dicha reinscripción se formaliza vicariamente a través del legado biográfico de Jorge Luis Borges, es decir, mediado por su lectura y uso de la tradición biográfica occidental, especialmente de las Vidas imaginarias (1896) de Marcel Schwob –que presuponen a las Vidas breves de Aubrey–. Ensayaré, entonces, un paralelismo entre una selección de entradas del Diccionario de autores latinoamericanos y algunas de las “Biografías Sintéticas” publicadas en El Hogar entre 1936 y 1939.
El arte de la biografía en Matías Serra Bradford
Authors: Podlubne Judith
Published: January 2025

El artículo parte de una lectura crítica de Nunca una vida sola y otras persecuciones biográficas (2023), el último libro de ensayos de Matías Serra Bradford, dedicado al arte de la biografía. La hipótesis que la orienta sostiene que el libro delimita una poética de lo biográfico en nombre propio y que se constituye por tanto en el eje de gravedad de un conjunto biográfico mayor, de fronteras extensibles y porosas, integrado, en principio, por otros dos libros suyos: Cómo falsificar una sombra. 20 obituarios (2021) y Animales tímidos. 23 poetas perdidos (2021). Concluye con un análisis de los retratos incluidos en Cómo falsificar una sombra a partir de la hipótesis de que en las páginas de Nunca una vida sola se delinea un pensamiento sobre el retrato que es una modulación en clave visual de la poética en nombre propio.

The ability to sense and adapt to adverse food conditions is essential for survival across species, but the detailed mechanisms of neuron-digestive crosstalk in food sensing and adaptation remain poorly understood. This study identifies a novel mechanism by which animals detect unfavorable food sources through olfactory neurons and initiate a systemic response to shut down digestion, thus safeguarding against potential harm. Specifically, we demonstrate that NSY-1, expressed in AWC olfactory neurons, detects
Staphylococcus saprophyticus
(SS) as an unfavorable food source, prompting the animal to avoid and halt digestion of SS. Upon detection, the animals activate the AWC
OFF
neural circuit, leading to a systemic digestive shutdown, which is mediated by NSY-1-dependent STR-130. Additionally, NSY-1 mutation triggers the production of insulin peptides, including INS-23, which interact with the DAF-2 receptor to modulate SS digestion and affects the expression of intestinal BCF-1. These findings uncover a crucial survival strategy through neuron-digestive crosstalk, where the NSY-1 pathway in AWC neurons orchestrates food evaluation and initiates digestive shutdown to adapt effectively to harmful food sources.

Sleep loss increases AMPA-synaptic strength and number in the neocortex. However, this is only part of the synaptic sleep loss response. We report increased AMPA/NMDA EPSC ratio in frontal-cortical pyramidal neurons of layers 2-3. Silent synapses are absent, decreasing the plastic potential to convert silent NMDA to active AMPA synapses. These sleep loss changes are recovered by sleep. Sleep genes are enriched for synaptic shaping cellular components controlling glutamate synapse phenotype, overlap with autism risk genes and are primarily observed in excitatory pyramidal neurons projecting intra-telencephalically. These genes are enriched with genes controlled by the transcription factor, MEF2c and its repressor, HDAC4. Sleep genes can thus provide a framework within which motor learning and training occurs mediated by sleep-dependent oscillation of glutamate-synaptic phenotypes.

An experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. The study aimed to investigate how plant spacing and NPK fertilizers influence the growth and yield of broccoli. The experiment used a randomized complete block design with three replications. The treatments included three plant spacings: S1 (60 cm × 50 cm), S2 (60 cm × 40 cm), and S3 (50 cm × 50 cm), and four doses of NPK fertilizer: F0 (N0P0K0 kg/ha), F1 (N100P75K75 kg/ha), F2 (N200P150K150 kg/ha), and F3 (N300P225K225 kg/ha). The results showed that plant spacing, NPK fertilizer, and their interaction significantly affected the growth and yield of broccoli. The highest yield per plant (331.42 g), yield per plot (8.29 kg), yield per hectare (13.81 t) at harvest were found in the spacing S2 (60 cm x 40 cm) and highest yield per plant (344.78 g), yield per plot (7.95 kg), yield per hectare (13.25 t) was recorded when F2 (N200P150K150 kg/ha) are used. The treatment combination S2F3 (60 cm × 40 cm with N300P225K225 kg/ha) resulted in the highest plant height (63.27 cm), crown spread (70.20 cm), number of leaves (17), and length of the largest leaves (50.57 cm). For curd initiation, the treatment combination S2F2 (60 cm × 40 cm with N200P150K150 kg/ha) required 54.33 days, with a primary curd weight of 0.48 kg and a curd diameter of 15.12 cm. Additionally, S2F2 resulted in a stem diameter of 4.02 cm, stem length of 26.73 cm, number of secondary curds (8.06), weight of secondary curds (78.99 g), fresh weight of leaves (401.49 g), yield per plant (365 g), and yield per plot (9.13 kg). The highest broccoli curd yield of 13.25 t/ha was obtained from the application of N200P150K150 fertilizer, while the lowest yield of 9.36 t/ha was recorded with no NPK fertilizer. The yield of broccoli curd increased with decreasing plant spacing, with the highest yield of 13.81 t/ha from S2 (60 cm × 40 cm) and the lowest yield of 9.75 t/ha from S1 (60 cm × 50 cm) spacing. The best treatment combination was S2F2, resulting in a yield of 15.21 t/ha.
Foreign Exchange and the Permaformance of Manufacturing Sector in Nigeria: A Disaggragrated Anaylsis
Authors: Israel Kwode E.
Published: January 2025

The manufacturing sector in sub Saharan–Africa, particularly Nigeria is handicapped with numerous challenges like affordable energy, multiple taxation and foreign exchange; a key driver of manufacturing activities. Therefore the primary objective of this study is to examine the impact of foreign exchange on the performance of the manufacturing sector in Nigeria using disaggregated analysis. Data were sourced from secondary materials collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin on manufacturing sector output, foreign exchange availability, foreign exchange rate, Nigeria foreign reserves and inflation rate from 1999 -2021.  Econometric-view (E-view version 9) statistical tool was used to run the Ordinary Least Square Regression Analysis. The findings of the study revealed that during the period under consideration, foreign exchange availability (FEA) has negative and significant impact on the growth of the manufacturing sector at P-value of 0.017. Foreign exchange rate (EXR) has positive and significant impact on the manufacturing sector of Nigeria, while Nigeria foreign reserves (NFR) has positive but insignificant impact at P-value of 0.547. Inflation rate has a negative and insignificant impact on the growth of manufacturing sector at -1.187 (P = 0.256).  Based on the findings, the study recommended that monetary authority should take urgent steps to tackle the foreign exchange crisis and maintain a sustainable exchange rate. Importantly, foreign exchange is made available to importers of industrial raw materials and at the same time grow the country’s foreign reserves. Also, local industries should be developed to reduce dependence on imported materials and thereby conserved foreign exchange.

The Sierra Leone National Policy on Radical Inclusion in Schools is the first attempt by the Government of Sierra Leone to provide a roadmap for the day-to-day work of schools and the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education. Disadvantaged student refers to vulnerable, marginalized, and excluded children from accessing free, quality, and inclusive education. This study explores the challenges disadvantaged students face, specifically marginalized learners from low-income families. The study participants were marginalized male and female students from low-income families and their classroom teachers. The data for this study was obtained from primary and secondary sources. Secondary data sources for this study were obtained from published and unpublished sources. From the results, it was concluded that marginalized students from low-income families are significant in inclusion education. The result also indicates that more female participants are taking part in the study, marginalized students from low-income backgrounds are faced with challenges attending school and attending lessons, faced with challenges in participating in lessons, completing homework or exams, feel left out, and unsafe in school. It was recommended that School authorities make the school safe by declaring and ensuring zero tolerance to the use of canes, School Related Gender-Based Violence, train teachers in inclusive learning, boost female students to attend school, participation by including all marginalized students, and decrease exclusion, ensure that girls have the opportunity to receive free primary and secondary education, improve on electricity across the country, and enforce total ban on extra lessons, school picnic, and other activities that could be possible barriers to impede students learning.

Published: January 2025

Women are breaking the social norm of being led by men, due to persistence of stereotypical cultural practices, socialization and biases against women that may explain the poor representation of women in leadership roles. The objectives of the study were to determine: challenges faced by female administrators and strategies used to resolve the challenges. The study adopted the interpretivist paradigm and used a sequential exploratory design through a qualitative research approach. A purposive and convenience sampling strategy was employed to select 12 female administrators for participation in semi-structured interviews. This study employed thematic analysis to uncover recurring patterns and themes within the interview data.  This study explored the challenges faced by female school administrators, who battle gender stereotypes, a confidence gap, and opposition from some teachers. Despite these hurdles, female leaders can persevere through hard work, clear vision, and emotional intelligence. The research also identified strategies like adhering to guidelines, achieving academic results, and maintaining composure to further empower female administrators. Additionally, open communication, collaboration, and a strong track record can help build trust with teachers and pave the way for aspiring female leaders. This research recommend that clear Ministry guidelines, leadership development programs, and a deeper understanding of gender bias are crucial to creating a more equitable and supportive environment for female school administrators.

Authors: Ismaeel Ayad Zedo , Yasin Hajar Maseeh
Published: January 2025

Gender detection using fingerprint biometrics has emerged as a promising area of research due to its non-intrusive nature and potential applications in biometric identification systems. The procedure can involve multiple steps are the size of finger print and their ridge pattern, minutiae point, machine learning and image processing and accuracy and limitations. This review explores the effectiveness of machine learning techniques for gender classification based on fingerprint patterns, emphasizing the role of advanced classification algorithms and feature extraction methods. Machine learning is crucial for gender detection since it classifies fingerprint patterns and biometric information using models like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Support Vector Machines (SVM). To identify traits unique to a gender, such as ridge density and minutiae points, these algorithms are trained using labelled datasets. Compared to manual procedures, these models are more effective at handling high-dimensional data and identifying subtle gender-related patterns. Although hybrid models like CNN-DNN and AlexNet further increase classification precision, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are especially effective due to their automatic feature extraction capabilities. Despite their effectiveness, factors like as picture resolution, demographic balance, and dataset heterogeneity might affect performance, highlighting the need for carefully selected datasets and improved model designs. A structured comparative analysis of multiple studies reveals the impact of various datasets, feature types, and model architectures on classification accuracy and reliability. The findings suggest that deep learning models often outperform traditional classifiers, while dimensionality reduction and hybrid approaches can further enhance performance. However, challenges such as dataset imbalances, limited diversity, and susceptibility to low-quality fingerprint data remain prominent barriers to achieving consistent results. This review also outlines key limitations observed across the studies and provides recommendations for future research, including the need for more diverse datasets and optimized classification frameworks. This study aims to improve fingerprint feature extraction for gender detection, reduce processing costs, fix dataset imbalances, and increase classification accuracy. By stating the objective, the scope and objectives of each investigation are made clear. The generalizability of machine learning models is significantly impacted by the amount, variety, and quality of the dataset. The analysis aims to support the development of more accurate, inclusive, and scalable fingerprint-based gender detection systems.

Aims: Our study aimed to address the low seed germination potential in turf grasses by using cost-effective growing media. The study was conducted at experimental farm of department of floriculture and landscaping in the year 2021-2022 in two experiments conducted during both the years in February-March. Three different cost-effective growing media; garden soil (T1), mixture of garden soil and leaf manure (2:1) (T2) and mixture of sand and leaf manure (2:1) (T3) were filled in growing trays and then seeds of four cool season turf grasses (perennial ryegrass, tall fescue, creeping bentgrass and creeping red fescue) were sown thinly in respective media. Experiment was conducted in completely randomized block design including 3 replications and daily germination counts were taken till 15 days. Data recorded was analysed using OPSTAT software and critical difference was calculated at 5% level of significance. The study highlights the superiority of 2:1 ratio garden soil and leaf manure for better germination attributes. This medium significantly reduces germination time, enhances seedling attributes, and proves optimal for achieving maximum seedling vigor which can contribute subsequently to uniform sod establishment.
