How Some Witnesses Have Vied for Floor Control in Tanzanian Higher Courts
Authors: Keya Antoni
Published: January 2024

This paper is on how some witnesses in Tanzanian courts wrestle the unequal apportionment of trial discourse resources. In the Adversarial trial, counsel has the freedom to operate within the initiation and feedback or follow up, which s/he uses to voice evidence at crossexamination. A witness, on the other hand, is strictly required to operate within the response move.Most witnesses find themselves vulnerable. Viewing any engagement contrary to trial norms as an act of power struggle leading to juridical ideological transformation, I chose two elements of the Faircloughian Text Oriented Discourse Analysis for analysis. The study examined interactional control, focusing on interruption to see how counsel and witness grapple over turns. It also went for addressee disposition to see how witnesses fit themselves into their responder role. Of the four witnesses in the four cases examined, two witnesses engaged with trial discourse transformatively, interrupting and voicing their dissatisfactionof the way the trial counsel treated them; while the other two engaged conventionally, responding in counsel-preferred manner. Whereas this transformative engagement seems like leading to juridical ideological transformation, the paper notes that withoutreapportioning trial discourse resources in a courtroom—which has to go with re-evaluating the merits of the adversarial system today—witnesses will continue being outsiders in a justice system supposed to be their own. Keywords: addressee disposition, counsel, cross-examination, ideological transformation, interactional control, trial discourse resources.
Stakeholders’ Perception of the University of Dar es Salaam’s Administrative and Communicative Competence in Managing Students’ Crises
Authors: Kaijanangoma Dietrick
Published: January 2024

This study examined the stakeholders’ perception of the University of Dar es Salaam’s senior management capability in managing students’ crises. We purposively selected two governmental agencies—the Higher Education Students’ Loan Board (HESLB) andthe Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU)—and the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training (MoEVT), two political parties, eight students and eight students’ organisation leaders. This study was informed by Littlejohn’s (2002) ComplianceGaining Theory, which suggests that using strategies such as reward, punishment, both positive and negative can enable the university administration to gain the compliance of the students. This study found that the university’s management neither actively involved academic staff nor students in the management of students’ disturbances. As a result, the university ended up being perceived rather negatively even for problems occasioned by external forces over which it technically has no absolute control. Thus, the University should have an effective internal and external communication strategy to ensure that it remains in good books, and is perceived positively even during students’ crises, which in themselves should not be treated negatively.

Published: January 2024

This study investigates the implications of population dynamics on development in Iringa Municipality Tanzania. A total of 209 respondents were involved in this study. The study used both quantitative and qualitative techniques in collecting and analyzing data where household surveys, in-depth interviews, field observations, Focus Group Discussions and documentary review were used as data gathering techniques. Descriptive statistics and content analysis have been used in analyzing and presenting the collected data. The study findings reveal that Iringa Municipality is experiencing an increase in population as per study time frame (1990 to 2019) has been triggered by inmigration though increased birth rates and reduced mortality rates cannot be neglected. The study further revealed that population growth in the Municipality has positively resulted to increased income levels, market expansion, improvement of social services, increased savings and investments, increased skilled workforce as well as increased urbanization. However, negatively, population growth has triggered high commodity prices, increased rental bills, the spread of diseases, a high number of street children and increase of delinquency behaviours. The study concludes that there is an increase in population associated with in-migration in Iringa Municipality which has brought both positive and negative effects on economic development. It is recommended to use the existing opportunity of population growth for economic development meanwhile, finding out measures which are associated with negative effects of population growth to achieve sustainable development.
Determinants of Handwashing Without Soap in Tanzania: Evidence from the 2015/16 Tanzania Demographic Health Malaria Indicator Survey
Authors: Mcharo Evaline
Published: January 2024

Handwashing with soap can reduce pathogens, leading to a reduction in the spread of diarrhoea and other diseases. Handwashing with soap is insufficiently practised in Tanzania despite its potential health benefits. This study identifies the determinants of high levels of handwashing without soap in rural and urban areas of Tanzania. It used the 2015/16 Tanzania Demographic Health Survey - Malaria Indicator Survey (TDHS-MIS) dataset. A sample of 9,695 households—3,058 from urban areas and 6,637 households from rural areas—were used in the analysis. Pearson chi-square test and multivariate logistics regression analysis were used to determine the association between the independent and dependent variables. The study found that handwashing without soap was more prevalent in rural areas (46%) than in urban areas (28%). Exposure to the media (listening to the radio in rural areas and watching television in urban areas), and improved access to water sources decreased the probability of handwashing without soap, both in rural and urban areas. A household-headed by a female, and a household-head who was married, showed a decreased odd of handwashing with water only in rural areas; while households with 7 and more members showed increased odds of handwashing with water only in rural areas. The study concludes that exposure to the media and improved access to water sources can reduce high rates of handwashing without soap in Tanzania. Efforts to reduce handwashing without soap should target urban and rural communities since handwashing is a complex human behaviour.

Formation of the Cultural Sovereignty of Russia in the Format of Orthodox Culture
Authors: Bryndin Evgeny
Published: January 2024

The Creator of the universe sent Jesus Christ to announce the New Testament to humanity. Jesus Christ directed the priesthood to teach all nations the spiritual life. Christ convinced the persecutor of the church, Saul, to preach the New Testament and teach spiritual life, showing the priesthood that it was possible to convince opponents of the church and Christianity. Voltaire said that scientific technological progress would weaken the influence of Christianity on humanity. His warning became prophetic. Priests do not sufficiently broadly and deeply and highly convince various segments of the population about the need to form an Orthodox worldview and lead a spiritual life, judging by the spiritual state of society and the culture of the world. The basis of spiritual life is Orthodox culture. Orthodox culture is a peaceful unifying force for all peoples. Orthodox culture should become a moral format for the worldview, behavior and attitude of citizens, as well as a form of unification of peoples and various segments of the population. This should be the goal of the priesthood and power in the formation of the cultural sovereignty of Russia and the culture of the world.

The artistry of Printed Ancient Fiction
Authors:   The Modern Bibiography Review Society, Jang You-jeong
Published: January 2024

This study is on the creative method of Printed Ancient Fiction. It analyzes how Printed Ancient Fiction, as ‘storybooks’, had their own territory in modern literature at the time.
A total of 93 Printed Ancient Fiction were identified from the 1910s to the 1930s. In this paper, it is presented in chronological order.
Novels do not focus only on stories because they must describe a unified point of view, personal establishment. On the other hand, as a storybook, Printed Ancient Fiction is considered a popular work and pursues the interest that comes from the story itself. In order to understand the characteristics of the Printed Ancient Fiction as a storybook, this paper uses the argument of Walter Benjamin’s 〈The Storyteller〉 to analyze the Printed Ancient Fiction with three characteristics: ‘distant places as well as distant times’, ‘unified world’, and ‘morality’.

Published: January 2024

Sexual harassment is a form of harassment that involves unwelcome sexual advances, comments, demand for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical behavior of a sexual nature. It is a violation of a person’s dignity and can create a hostile, intimidating, or offensive environment. Sexual harassment can occur in various settings, including workplaces, schools, public spaces, or online platforms. It can be perpetrated by individuals of any gender against individuals of any gender. Both men and women can be victims or perpetrators of sexual harassment. The forms of sexual harassment include unwelcome sexual advances, persistent and unwanted sexual comments, jokes, or gestures, displaying or sharing sexually explicit images, using power or authority to pressure someone into sexual activity. It is also crucial to recognize that the impact of sexual harassment goes beyond the immediate incident and can have long-lasting effects on the victim’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Many countries have laws and policies in place to address and prevent sexual harassment. Some of the coping strategies for victims may include, encouraging the victim to speak up, provide support, seeking assistance from organizations specializing in handling such cases, such as counselors, psychologist, human resources departments, help lines, or legal services.

Authors: Onyebuchi Okafor Collins , Ibiam Ude Ude , Ngozi Okoh Felicia , Osose Eromonsele Blessing
Published: January 2024

Safe or potable water is water which quality is suitable for human consumption both for drinking or cooking purposes. Safe and potable drinking water is an inevitable factor for a robust healthy society, but clean water for drinking and domestic purpose still remains inaccessible to 1.1 million people on a global scale. The importance of potable water can never be overestimated because of its benefits of providing a number of useful services for humans and the ecosystem. Water contributes directly and indirectly to the GDP of a country when tailored properly. While the majority of the population in developing countries lives in cities, supply and access to safe drinking water in sufficient quantity and quality for all urban dwellers sits at a crossroads between environmental issues. For instance the issue of available freshwater resources, and development issues, through the implied social, economic and sanitation challenges still remain unsolved. In order to achieve quality drinking water in fostering human development, some vital issues that pose challenges must be taken into good consideration. This chapter has discussed safe drinking water in view of its benefits and challenges as it affects developing countries.
Effectiveness and Efficiency of Orthodontic Treatment Using Fixed Appliances versus Aligners: A Systematic Review
Authors: El Mouden Latifa , Zahour Asma
Published: January 2024

To analyze the current literature in order to compare the outcome of orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances versus aligners in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. An electronic search was undertaken through PubMed, Cochrane, and ScienceDirect. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. This literature review was carried out according to the PRISMA criteria (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). The risk of bias in included studies was assessed using the Cochrane ROB-2 tool. Ten articles were retained. Some heterogeneity of the results was noted and it remains difficult to come up with clear and consensual clinical recommendations. It seems that the aligners were as effective as a fixed orthodontic treatment on class 1 malocclusions, but, some dental movements remain difficult to control like vertical movements and rotation. Conversely, the aligners are increasingly favored by patients, for esthetic and comfort reasons. This review shows that the future of aligners is very promising. Studies comparing fixed orthodontics and aligners have shown that each has its own specificities. A precise diagnosis, knowledge of biomechanics, and the limits of each means are the conditions required to achieve a result in line with the initial treatment objectives.
Essential Oils in Animal Diets to Improve the Fatty Acids Composition of Meat and Milk Quality in Ruminant
Authors: Mohamed Khattab Ibrahim , Fathy Elgandy Mohamed
Published: January 2024

Adding essential oils to the diet of ruminants is a novel strategy that improves milk and meat quality by enhancing production and fatty acid content. Including essential oils has various effects, such as modifying the biohydrogenation of unsaturated fatty acids. As a result, the fatty acid profile leaving the rumen can be affected, which in turn can affect the levels of important fatty acids in the milk and meat produced by ruminants. In the rumen, microorganisms convert unsaturated fatty acids to mostly saturated fatty acids and some unsaturated fatty acids through biohydrogenation. Added essential oils can shift the rumen microbiota, followed by changes in the fatty acid profile. The impact of essential oils on the biohydrogenation of fatty acids depends on various factors such as the type of essential oil used, its chemical composition, interactions with nutrients present in the feed, the ability of ruminal microbes to adapt to essential oils, and type of animal. Studies have indicated that various essential oils can influence ruminal fermentation and biohydrogenation of dietary fatty acids, and thus, affect the presence of polyunsaturated fatty acids in milk and meat, which is associated with positive effects on human health.
Perspective Chapter: Metacognitive Strategies – Preparing Self-Regulated Learners in the Twenty-First Century
Authors: Ghosh Sarmishtha
Published: January 2024

In the twenty-first century, with the enormous increase in volume of information, students suffer from the cognitive overload that has been seen to be associated with incidence of depression/burnout amongst students at various levels of the training phase. This eventually leads to poor performance and lack of confidence in the younger generation. Effective strategies for efficient learning need to be informed to the learners to make them understand the importance of learning and retrieval at appropriate time. One such strategy is educating individuals metacognitively where the students will be able to build strong content knowledge by responding to varying demands of disciplines by critically synthesizing different resources and valuing sound evidence. Teaching students to be metacognitively aware through different strategies is also a challenge for teachers. Teaching students to ask themselves self-reflective questions and assess where they are right now (thinking about what they already know), how they learn (what is working and what is not), and where they want to be. With the aid of metacognition, students will be able to solve problems more effectively and take charge of their learning as self- regulated learners, which is essential in the current time.
Ovarian Factors of Cardiovascular Disease: The Way to Go?
Authors: V. Lakhno Igor
Published: January 2024

The function of the female reproductive system is critically dependent on the general health of a woman. However, the activity of ovaries has its projection on metabolic processes, vascular tone, and endothelial function. Hyperandrogenicity in polycystic ovarian disease is a trigger for adiposity, diabetes type II, and atherogenic vasculopathy. The increased level of testosterone persists to stay even after menopause. The data on hormonal changes during menopause is discussed. Hormone replacement therapy did not demonstrate an evident beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system. The possible therapeutic strategy for improved cardiovascular health during the transitional year of life is presented. The use of diet, L-arginine, and xylitol could be a reasonable option in the management of perimenopausal women.

Authors:   Contraloria General de Antioquia, Agudelo Vanegas Fernán Alonso , Henao Hernández Maria Camila ,   Contraloria General de Antioquia
Published: January 2024

Esta investigación empírica estudia la transparencia en la administración pública para las demandas de información de la comunidad y promover una gestión gubernamental abierta y responsable. Se explora la implementación del principio de transparencia, tanto desde la perspectiva de los funcionarios públicos como de los líderes comunitarios, identificando las barreras para indagar en los datos. El enfoque de la exploración es el artículo 74 constitucional, que promueve la intervención de los ciudadanos dentro del escrutinio social, garantizando el acceso a la información. A pesar de este marco, se observan deficiencias prácticas, como el desconocimiento de las leyes y las limitaciones tecnológicas, que impiden un acceso efectivo a la información. A nivel metodológico, se utilizaron encuestas y encuentros regionales para recopilar datos de servidores públicos, líderes comunitarios y veedores ciudadanos. Los hallazgos revelan un promedio superior a cuatro (en una escala de 1 a 5) en la percepción positiva sobre la incidencia de la Ley 1712 de 2014, que regula el abordaje de la información y fomenta la transparencia y eficiencia. Sin embargo, también se identifican desafíos significativos en la implementación efectiva de la normativa. Los encuestados resaltan una falencia en la comunicación entre los funcionarios y la entrega de información parcial e incompleta. Se concluye que, aunque la ley proporciona unos lineamientos, es esencial una mayor implementación y supervisión, lo que contribuirá a una gestión pública más transparente y efectiva. Además, se enfatiza la necesidad de fortalecer el conocimiento y la implementación de las normas tanto a nivel comunitario como institucional.

Índices morfométricos obtidos por meio de estimadores por razão em povoamentos de Acacia mearnsii de Wild. no Rio Grande do Sul
Authors: Hong Liz Lorena Cabrera , Behling Alexandre , Pellico Netto Sylvio , Corte Ana Paula Dalla
Published: January 2024

O estudo morfométrico de espécies florestais contribui para a compreensão do desenvolvimento de um indivíduo a partir de variáveis, como diâmetro à altura do peito (dap), altura (h) e informações sobre a copa da árvore. As principais características morfométricas das árvores são a Proporção de Copa (PC), Grau de Esbeltez (GE), Índice de Saliência (IS), Índice de Abrangência (IA) e Formal de Copa (FC). A modelagem tradicional para obtenção destes índices resulta em uma estimativa pontual. O objetivo deste estudo foi obter os índices morfométricos para a espécie acácia negra (Acacia mearnsii de Wild.), ao longo de seu ciclo de cultivo, por meio de estimadores por razão. Os dados utilizados para a realização deste trabalho foram obtidos na região sul do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, em três regiões, que apresentam concentração de plantios comerciais da espécie: Cristal, Encruzilhada do Sul e Piratini. Quarenta e oito parcelas temporárias foram instaladas em povoamentos com idade entre um e 10,75 anos e amostradas 672 árvores para mensuração das variáveis dap, altura total (h), comprimento de copa (cc) e diâmetro de copa (dc). A modelagem dos índices foi realizada aplicando-se os estimadores por razão. As copas, em média, ocupam 52,10% da altura, sendo este mais proeminente nas florestas jovens, decaindo ao longo do ciclo de cultivo dos povoamentos. O GE resultou em valor superior a 1, indicando que o crescimento em altura supera o crescimento em dap. Em média, apresentam copas 22 vezes maior que o dap, com tendência decrescente em função da idade, crescimento em altura maior que o crescimento em dap e copas esbeltas. As precisões não são constantes ao longo das idades, e, em sua maioria, os índices apresentam precisão média.

A madeira possui diversas propriedades que a torna atraente frente a outros materiais, entretanto, para sua utilização, com segurança, é necessário o conhecimento dos valores de resistência e elasticidade. Nesse sentido, a utilização de técnicas não destrutivas vem a agregar no processo de avaliação. Entre as técnicas não destrutivas de avaliação mecânica, destacam-se aquelas que utilizam as frequências naturais de vibração cujos resultados podem ser repetidos e comparados ao longo do tempo. Esta pesquisa objetivou relacionar as propriedades físicas e mecânicas da madeira de cajueiro [Anacardium sp], com a densidade aparente e com a frequência natural do ensaio de vibração transversal, por meio de modelos de regressão. Foram realizados 24 ensaios de vibração transversal e mais 204 determinações experimentais. Na sequência, foram gerados modelos de regressão lineares em função da densidade aparente e da frequência de vibração transversal, bem como modelos de regressão multivariáveis quadráticos, de forma a estimar as propriedades das madeiras. Dos modelos de regressão lineares, foram notadas fracas correlações entre a densidade e a frequência natural com as propriedades físico-mecânicas avaliadas, resultando em estimativas de baixa precisão. Em relação aos modelos de regressão multivariáveis, quadráticos foram verificados coeficientes de determinação ajustado (R²aj) superiores a 80 % para 03 modelos dos 16 avaliados.

O uso da nanotecnologia tem sido crescente na última década, devido às suas propriedades diferenciadas quando comparada ao material usado em macro escala. Na indústria de painéis, as nanopartículas são utilizadas com o intuito de reduzir sua higroscopicidade, assim como melhorar as propriedades físico-mecânicas. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho físico-mecânico e a transferência de calor no interior de painéis OSB (Oriented Strand Board) produzidos com madeira de Pinus elliotti Engelm e resina poliuretana à base de óleo de mamona (Ricinus communis L.) com adição de nanopartículas de óxido de zinco em dois diferentes teores (0,25% e 0,50%) e compará-los com o tratamento de controle. As propriedades determinadas foram densidade, teor de umidade, inchamento em espessura, resistência à flexão estática e arrancamento de parafuso, seguindo as orientações de normas europeias. Ao fim dos ensaios, foi realizada a análise estatística, através da ANOVA, com nível de 5% de significância para verificar se houve diferença significativa entre as médias. As propriedades físico-mecânicas dos painéis estudados não foram influenciadas pela adição de nanopartículas nas porcentagens avaliadas, sendo explicada pela diminuta quantidade de nanopartículas adicionadas. Na transferência de calor, os painéis sem adição de nanopartículas alcançaram uma temperatura superior em relação aos tratamentos com nanomaterial, entretanto, nenhum atingiu a temperatura desejada de 100°C. Os painéis produzidos atenderam a classe 1 de painéis OSB, exceto no inchamento em espessura.

Para entender a condução de novos paradigmas voltados à restauração ecológica, o objetivo deste trabalho foi revisar a literatura sobre a aplicação da restauração ecológica em áreas protegidas do bioma Mata Atlântica, a fim de contribuir ao cumprimento dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS). Com uso de indexadores, palavras-chave voltadas, e a critérios voltados ao tema, foram selecionados 58 artigos científicos analisados por meio de uma revisão sistemática e comparados entre si no uso de suas estratégias. Os resultados mostraram preferência pela restauração ativa com variações na diversidade de espécies, e a restauração passiva. Adubação, controle de plantas competidoras, combate a formigas e o preparo do solo são as práticas silviculturais mais mencionadas. Na análise dos monitoramentos propostos, a diversidade, as informações intrínsecas às espécies e a paisagem, a fitossociologia e as métricas da copa, se expressaram os indicadores mais recomendados para avaliação do processo restaurativo, e sugerem 74 espécies para uso nos projetos. Ademais, é necessário incentivar que as produções científicas sobre a temática contemplem também as regiões centro-oeste e nordeste, os levantamentos da fauna, bem como a descrição detalhada sobre a implantação do projeto de restauração ecológica.
A survey of marine turtles found in Davao Oriental, Philippines
Authors: Jimenez Lea , Inabiogan Marlo Khen
Published: January 2024

Marine turtles are enlisted as critically endangered marine animals vulnerable to extinction. In Mayo Bay, Davao Oriental, the data on marine turtles' status is deficient. Land-based monitoring from 2014 to 2016 was dedicated to filling in the gaps in the knowledge and status of marine turtles in Mayo Bay. Four species, namely, Chelonia mydas, Eretmochelys imbricata, Lepidochelys olivacea, and Dermochelys coriacea, were identified as being present in the bay. Commonly sighted species were Chelonia mydas (n = 121), and the most numbered species accounted for stranding incidences (n = 9), generally due to by-catch using hook and line. Nesting activities recorded Lepidochelys olivacea as the prominent nester, with a total of 5,926 eggs laid and 4,956 eggs hatched and released with a hatching percentage of 84.03%. Chelonia mydas was observed to nest previously in 2014; however, it was found to be inactive after nesting in 2015 and 2016. Mayo Bay is found to be home to four species of marine turtles, although common challenges in conservation efforts are stranding incidences, beach encroachment, and intensive lighting due to resorts in the area. An intensive education campaign drive should be done, and the institutionalization of the protection of marine turtles should also be considered.

This study evaluates the implications of multiple climatic and non-climatic factors on the water resource of the Lake Tana sub-basin, Ethiopia. The study focuses on three drivers: land use change, irrigation expansion, and climate change (CC), and their impact on the current and future water availability across the sub-basin. The study uses a random forest (RF) machine learning classifier in the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform to detect land use land cover change (LULC) and for mapping the actual irrigated-area. The Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation and temperature data were used with station data to evaluate the implication of CC on the water availability of Lake Tana sub-basin. The supply-demand relationship was done for Gumara catchment within Tana sub-basin as an experimental site. Based on the LULC analysis, plantation, cropland, bare lands, built-up, and wetland showed an increasing trend, while forest, bush land, and grassland showed a decreasing trend. The increasing rate of crop land in the expense of natural forest, shrub land, grassland may cause runoff/flood, high soil erosion, and lower rate of groundwater recharge. The actual irrigated area mapping analysis shows a widespread irrigation near the Lake Shore and upstream parts of the sub-basin. The climate change analysis shows an increasing trend of potential evapotranspiration during the irrigation period attributed to increase in maximum temperature. The rising of potential evapotranspiration during the irrigation period creates a water shortage in the study and future periods as the crops need more water for growth. The estimated stream flow for Gumara catchment shows an increasing trend for the future period. The supply-demand relationship of the catchment shows an uneven distribution of water in the Gumara catchment both in the current and future periods resulting in unbalance abstraction of irrigation water. The study reveals that climate change, land cover change, and uncontrolled expansion of irrigated land area are likely to increase the unmet demand by increasing irrigation water demand, and this can cause conflict of interest between the users. Therefore, sustainable water resource management practices such as land management practices, and adaptive management of irrigation should be applicable to prevent or reduce the occurrence of conflict over the water demand.

Since the beginning of Rusia and Ukraine’s war on February 2022, Central Asian’s military capacitiy was left by the Rusian under the heavy involvement of President Putin in Ukraine. Thus this vacuum, left Iran to eye the opportunities to catch the cooperation with Central Asian countries even more. And also because the political will of Iranian President, Raisi, to engage more and develop more ties with its neighbors and Central Asia countries was detected since the beginning of his term of power August 2021.
