Authors: Ajayi A.A. , Babalola O. , Morakinyo A. , Anjonrin-Ohu A.
Published: December 2021

The occurrence of claims prevails in all projects, making the successful completion of projects within the predetermined budget a mirage. This is recognized to have added to costs of projects and adversely affected project performance. This paper aims at investigating critical factors influencing occurrence of claims in building projects in Lagos State, Nigeria. Forty-three (43) construction project attributes affecting project performance were identified through literature and presented to the key stakeholders in the study area using questionnaire survey. Two hundred and seventy-six (276) copies of the questionnaire were randomly administered to key stakeholders involved in the building construction process. One hundred and fifty-one (151) were retrieved representing 57.61% response rate. Principal component analysis of responses to a set of 43 characteristics identified through literature review extracted four components. The results indicated important factors such as: ‘Project Participant Characteristics’, ‘Basic Project Characteristic’, ‘Procurement Characteristics’, along with ‘Complexity Characteristics’ were factors influencing the occurrence of claims. It was concluded that the construction stakeholders should effectively manage these factors in minimising claims occurrence and thereby improving building projects delivery.

Authors: Odeyinka O.F. , Ogunwolu F.O. , Popoola O.P. , Oyedokun T.O.
Published: December 2021

Process capability analysis combines statistical tools and control charts with good engineering judgment to interpret and analyze the data representing a process. This work analyzes the process capability of a polypropylene bag producing company. The case study organization uses two plants for production and data was collected over a period of nine months for this study. Analysis showed that the output spread of plant 1 was greater than the specification interval spread which implies poor capability. There are non-conforming parts below the Lower Specification Limit (LSL: 500,000 metres) and above the Upper Specification Limit (USL: 600,000 metres) and that the output requires improvement. Similarly, the capability analysis of plant 2 shows that the overall output spread is greater than the specification interval spread (poor capability). The output centre in the specification and overall interval are vertically aligned, thus specifying that the output from plant 2 is also process centered and requires improvement. Recommendations were made to improve the outputs from each production plant.

Published: December 2021

Canned foods are one of the most commonly consumed products, due to benefits like the taste, handiness and convenience derived from them. On the other hand, these dietary products may be a means of heavy metal exposure and toxicant. This study aimed to quantify metals content in some frequently consumed canned foods in Nigeria as a possible source of toxicity. Twenty-two different commonly consumed brands of canned foods (Sweet corn, Green peas, Corned beef, Hotdog, Mushroom, Tin tomato, Mixed fruit, Baked beans, Mackerel (tomato sauce canned fish), Sardine (canned fish in vegetable oil) and Red kidney were analyzed for Ni, Cr, Cu, Pb and Al using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer after wet digestion. The results showed that the heavy metals concentration in the samples under study ranged from 0.55 to 0.86mg/kg (Ni), 0.00 to 0.41mg/kg (Cr), 1.40 to 1.76 mg/kg (Pb), 0.07 to 0.2mg/kg (Cu) and 4.71 to 16.4mg/kg (Al). The levels of Pb, Ni and Al were above FAO/WHO recommended limit of 0.01mg/kg, 0.05mg/kg and 7mg/kg respectively. The presence of heavy metals like lead (Pb) above the permissible limit calls for caution during production and in the frequent consumption of canned foods which may lead to accumulation of metals, toxicity and the sequelae.

Published: December 2021

Over the recent years, there has been tremendous ease in monetary transactions; all thanks to a convenient payment platform. The Integrated e-payment system (IEPS) facilitates financial transactions electronically.This study aims to examine the factorial models necessitating the continuous use of the integrated e-payment system in the light of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) with two additional variables; processing time and processing charges proposed. The study data were collected from 285 valid respondents in Ghana through the random sampling approach. The hypothesis verification was conducted via the SmartPLS. The result of the structural equation modelling indicate that processing charges, processing time, and social influence are the critical influencers of IEPS continuous usage intention. In addition, it also implies that financial institutions and banks liaise with designers to, perhaps, consider consumers’ perspectives in their design; such that will bring about convenience, fast processing and minimal cost in order to foster continuous use.

Purpose of the work: identifying the essence of Abay's main discourses, analyzing them, determining the contribution of the precedent personality to the historical process of the formation of ethno-identity, as well as clarifying the degree of precedence of the personality and his texts. In the process of analysis, a complex method was used, based on the combination of discursive-historical, cognitive-discursive, and pragmatic-communicative approaches, the method of sociological survey. The results obtained include: description of Abay as a precedent historical personality, widely known for his legislative, social and political activities; a comprehensive analysis of the historical discourse of Abay, the discourse of biy (in Kazakh language), its extralinguistic, cognitive, pragmatic, linguo-stylistic components have been identified and described; the historical character of Abay's translation discourses is established, a comprehensive analysis of such a discourse is carried out, the precedent of the text of Abay's translations is noted. It is concluded that Abay Kunanbaev not only acted as an active historical person who managed to influence the actualization of historical events and their promotion, but also as a poet, translator, who created various discourses (historical, translation, literary). Abay's translation discourse acts as a kind of historical discourse - historical and literary discourse, since it has signs of historicity (created by a historical person, it reflects the features of the historical era). Therefore, these discourses can be analyzed based on a complex discursive-historical and cognitive-discursive approaches.
PODCASTS AND JOURNALISM
Authors: Mihajlov Prokopović Anka
Published: December 2021

The application of new technologies in journalism contributes to the development of new forms of journalistic content. Podcasts that present content posted online and allow online users to access them whenever and however many times they want are experiencing continued success around the world (Newman, 2021). This development has also led to a variety in the content of podcasts, and the approach to topics is journalistic in some podcast series. Podcast authors can be journalists, as well as other people, Internet users and sometimes celebrities. For example, it is predicted that this year there will be a “battle for the stars” between the platforms and the media. The aim of this paper is mapping the use of podcasts in Serbia, starting, above all, from podcasts as journalism technology. A few years ago, the traditional mainstream media in Serbia tried to keep pace with the innovators in the online environment and increase attendance at their online editions. The results of this research show that the podcast develops in two ways when it comes to journalism: as part of the online media and as an individual endeavor of the author. It can be concluded that the podcast that is the individual endeavor of the author, considering that it is realized outside the media institution, is a freer form of expression and is often very popular. Finally, since the podcast technology is cheaper than radio or television broadcasting and that this broadcasting does not require the permission of the regulatory body, it is run by other companies, not just media companies.

Authors: Damjanić Katarina
Published: December 2021

The main goal of this paper is to indicate the importance of the issues of vagueness and dissociation in discourse interpretation. The discourse that is taken into consideration is the discourse of political news written in the English language. This particular discourse is widely available to readers and deals with important political issues, which is why the choice of words and phrases should ideally be unbiased and accurate. If not, the readers may misinterpret the discourse and have a wrong impression of the political issue. In this research, newspaper articles are taken as an example of political news discourse. All articles analyzed were written in online British and American broadsheet and tabloid newspapers and they all dealt with the migrant crisis and 2019 Hong Kong protests. By taking into consideration the political context and the theoretical framework used in this research, 44 instances considered to be examples of vagueness and dissociation were identified, which were found in 14 newspaper articles.
INTEGRATION CHALLENGES OF MEDIA POLICY IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
Authors: Mehmedović Mirza
Published: December 2021

In the process of political transition of the Western Balkan countries, the non-EU countries in particular, the reform of communication systems occupies one of the primary places within the implementation of economic, cultural, political and integration processes of each country. Communication research that seeks to define the dilemmas of the current communication situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as a determining framework of the media system, includes many socio-political factors conditioned by structural changes within the society of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the last 25 years. The complete cultural and political deconstruction of the Bosnian society at the end of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first century destabilized the internal organization of the political, cultural and economic system, especially in the domain of public communication and organization of the media subsystem. Apart from the numerous current challenges, the development of a unified media policy in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the establishment of a public media system in accordance with the requirements of the European Union and the interests of all citizens, are among the key issues that state institutions are facing at the moment. This paper primarily deals with the analysis of the European Commission’s annual reports on Bosnia and Herzegovina’s progress in the process of implementing reforms in the media policy sector and based on these annual reports it suggests the key factors for future national media policy definition. The goal is to establish a national media policy and reform the communication system in a broader context as a political, cultural and economic issue, i.e., as an institutionally agreed path for political compromise, integration of society and definition of collective identities.

What does literature teach about digital pathology? A bibliometric study in Web of Science
Authors: López-Belmonte Jesús , Segura-Robles Adrián , Cho William C. , Parra-González María-Elena , Moreno-Guerrero Antonio J.
Published: December 2021

Digital pathology (DIPA) has become an effective discipline that generates a graphic environment to diagnose and interpret the pathological information of people. When analyzing the existing literature on DIPA, a knowledge gap was produced by not reporting a study that has bibliometrically analyzed the publications on the subject. The objective of this study is to analyze the scientific production and performance achieved by the term digital pathology in the Web of Science (WoS) database. For this, a methodology based on bibliometrics has been carried out, complemented by the scientific mapping technique to search, recorder, analyze and predict the scientific literature on the state of question. We have worked with an analysis unit of 1222 documents reported from WoS database. The results show that there is no research topic in the field of study of DIPA that stands out from the rest. A conceptual gap can be observed in the thematic development, given that there is no theme that is repeated in all periods, where the connections are more thematic than conceptual. There are key documents for different topics. The main themes have been very different over the years like telepathology and artificial intelligence.
COVID-19 PANDEMİ SÜRECİNİN KÜRESEL EKONOMİK GÖSTERGELERİ VE TÜRKİYE’DE BANKACILIK VE FİNANS SEKTÖRÜNE ETKİLERİ
Authors: KÜÇÜKOĞLU Sami
Published: December 2021

Çin’in Wuhan kentinde 2019 yılının sonunda başlayan Covid-19 salgını 2020 yılının mart ayında pandemi durumuna dönüşerek tüm dünyayı etkisi altına almıştır. Küresel boyutta yaşanan bu salgının 2020 yılında ve devamında tüm dünya ekonomilerinde daralmaya neden olacağı tahmin edilmektedir. Salgına karşı gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan tüm ülkelerin merkez bankaları faiz oranlarında değişikliklere giderek piyasalara likidite desteği sağlamış ve kredi koşullarını desteklemeye yönelik genişleyici para ve maliye politikaları uygulamaya başlamışlardır. Bu bağlamda Türkiye’de TCMB tarafından 17 Mart 2020 tarihli Para Politikası Kurulu toplantısında politika faiz oranında indirime gidilmiş ve bu karara ek olarak, 17 Mart, 31 Mart ve 17 Nisan 2020 tarihlerinde Covid-19 salgının ekonomik ve finansal etkilerini sınırlamak amacıyla alınan tedbir paketleri duyurulmuştur. Bu çalışmada Covid-19 salgınının küresel ekonomik göstergeleri ve Türkiye’de bankacılık ve finans sektörü üzerine etkileri, kapsamlı bir alan yazın araştırması ile uzman kurumların raporları ve sektörel veriler kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir.

Amaç: Covid-19 pandemi sürecinde ortaya çıkan ekonomik koşulların küresel göstergeleri ile birlikte Türkiye’de bankacılık ve finans sektörüne olan etkilerini tespit etmektir.

Yöntem/Tasarım / Metodoloji / Yaklaşım: Alan yazın taraması eşliğinde bankacılık ve finans sektöründe faaliyet gösteren ulusal ve uluslararası uzman kuruluşlardan elde edilen nitel ve nicel sektörel verilerin Microsoft Office programlarında işlenerek çıktılarının kullanıldığı Covid-19 pandemi süreci içerisinde bir çalışmadır.

Bulgular: Tüm dünya ekonomilerinde ve ülkemizde ekonomik daralmaların yaşanacağı ve Türkiye’de daralma etkisini sınırlandırmak amacıyla merkez bankasının piyasalara likidite desteği sağladığı görülmüştür.

Özgünlük: Covid-19 pandemisi dünyadaki tüm ülke ekonomilerinin hazırlıksız yakalandıkları ve geçmişte yaşanan ekonomik krizlerden farklı olarak direkt insan sağlığına yönelik olması nedeniyle çok daha kapsamlı etkileri olan bir sağlık ve ekonomik krizdir. Salgının ve neden olduğu krizin etkileri çalışmanın yapıldığı dönem itibariyle devam etmekte olup ne kadar süreceği belirsizlik içermektedir. Dolayısıyla devam eden süreç içerisinde nihai sonuçları tespit etmek için salgının sona ermesini beklemek gereklidir. Bu çalışma salgının başladığı andan itibaren Türkiye’ de bankacılık ve finans sektöründe yarattığı etkiler ve sermaye piyasalarının buna karşı geliştirdiği tepkiler belirlenmiş, incelenmiş ve değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma bu bakımdan ileride salgından kaynaklı oluşabilecek kriz dönemlerinde uygulanacak ekonomi politikaları için bir kaynak rehber ve arşiv olma amacını taşımaktadır.
Paul Lazarsfeld's Contributions to the History of Empirical Social Research
Authors: Jeřábek Hynek
Published: December 2021

During the 1960s Paul F. Lazarsfeld, co-founder of the renowned Columbia school, worked to promote a useful new research methodology. This paper analyses these activities. In a series of papers, Lazarsfeld demonstrated that the roots of empirical research, the useful methodology he developed, lie in the work of early European scholars. Building on his belief that quantification does not need numbers, he showed that Hermann Conring, with his “classificatory statistics,” had predated Frédéric Le Play and his “ family budgets” and Adolphe Quételet and his “probability statistics” by almost two centuries. In another paper he highlighted the importance of Max Weber’s empirical studies on agrarian and industrial workers within the frame of his life work. His seminars at Columbia University with Robert K. Merton and at the Sorbonne with Raymond Boudon opened up transatlantic cooperation on empirical research between New York and Paris for decades to come.

Published: December 2021

У статті наводиться визначення організації, що інноваційно розвивається, розглядаються питання співвідношення стратегії бізнесу та інформаційних технологій.
Розглянуто питання ефективного управління системою знань, націлених на активізацію інноваційної діяльності, що сприяє активній позиції працівників: необхідність ділитися знаннями, співпраці при реалізації спільних проектів, мотивацією до саморозвитку.
Приводяться принципи управління організацією, що інноваційно розвивається. У системах, побудованих на цих принципах, на рівних повинні брати участь люди, чий інтелект володіє динамічністю, здатністю до прийняття рішень. В одну систему їх можуть об'єднати технології, що підтримують управління знаннями.
Представлена модель системи управління знаннями, навколо циклу знань у вигляді «знаннєвих процесів»: виявляти, створювати, зберігати, обмінювати, застосовувати. Змістом управління знаннями є забезпечення поширення знань, як з зовнішнього, так і з внутрішнього оточення. Знання повинне бути «корисним», тобто для конкретної організації має цінність те знання, яке сприяє зростанню його інноваційної активності і здатне наповнити змістовним сенсом «ланцюжок знань».

Rethinking International News Translations: Toward a Foreignizing Approach to News Events Translations
Authors:   Avenue Brahim Roudani Lot Nakhil Street H1 Number 3, Oujda, Morocco 60020, HADEF Sanae EL
Published: December 2021

The present paper investigates the ideological manipulation that creeps in translated news headlines and falsifies the produced translated version since such process involves both the imposition of dominant ideologies and the negative portrayals of the other in mediated news. Thus, international news translation basically exploits and manipulates the original news events in such a way that misrepresents the image of otherness and creates a positive representation of patrons. In this vein, this paper brings to the fore the influence of extra-textual factors on the translation of headlines. Many strategies and translation techniques are utilized and translators do intervene to align produced headlines with the two networks’ ideological affiliations and editorial policies. The present paper adopts descriptive approach where I attempted to compare translated news headlines and pinpoint the alterations and transformations undertaken over them, also it aims to call for rethinking strategies undertaken while translating global news in a cosmopolitan context where openness to the other and appreciation of difference are conducive to an effective cross cultural and linguistic interactions. Accordingly, it proposes foreignizing approach to global news translation because it retains the image of otherness which is essential in the original event.

Published: December 2021

Nigeria is currently bewildered with lots of challenges which are negatively affecting all the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to the attained in 2030. This paper attempts to bring to the fore these challenges and how students’ awareness and exploration of hope through Literature-in-English could serve as an antidote. It also presents various reasons Literature –in- English students should be advocates of sustainable development by inculcating right values and attitudes in bringing hope to the down trodden in the society at their different levels. It also reveals the need for poets, literary writers, artists, individuals, society, leaders, followers, curriculum planners and government to produce literary pieces that will enlighten Literature-in- English students about the change for development to both the oppressed and the oppressors. Students develop positive attitudes, right emotions, good moral values to bring hope to the hopeless in the society and orientating the society that all hope for better Nigeria is not lost. This can help to reduce rate of criminalities, morbidity and mortality, and insecurity across the states and making our leaders to act promptly to do the right things at the right time. Based on this overview, it is recommended that literary texts that teach good human relationship, discipline and national values among the leaders and the led should be recommended for Literature- in –English students as a driving force towards SDG 2030
Samuel Gaudon, sieur de la Rallière, un financier protestant au service de Mazarin
Authors: Métayer Guillaume
Published: December 2021

Samuel Gaudon naît à Preuilly, deuxième pôle protestant de Touraine, en 1594, soit un an après le départ de Scaliger qui avait contribué à la conversion des principaux notables de la baronnie. C’est dans ce milieu protestant qu’il se forme et qu’il est repéré par le marquis de Rochefort, qui l’initie au monde de la finance. Progressivement il devient un des financiers majeurs de la Couronne, ce qui en fait une cible des parlementaires et du peuple pendant la Fronde (1648-1653). Sa mort brutale en 1650 intervient alors qu’il est au plus proche du pouvoir. Dès lors il sombre dans l’oubli, la seule trace qu’il laisse demeurant son château inachevé et le début de programme urbanistique l’accompagnant, au cœur de sa ville natale, juste derrière l’église abbatiale romane qu’il venait symboliquement éclipser.

Published: December 2021

With the rise of industrial artificial intelligence (AI), smart sensing, and the Internet of Things (IoT), companies are learning how to use their data not only for analysing the past but also for predicting the future. Maintenance is a crucial area that can drive significant cost savings and production value around the world.

Predictive maintenance (PdM) is a technique that collects, cleans, analyses, and utilises data from various manufacturing and sensing sources like machines usage, operating conditions, and equipment feedback. It applies advanced algorithms to the data, automatically compares the fed data and the information from previous cases to anticipate or predict equipment failure before it happens, thus helping optimise equipment utilisation and maintenance strategies, improve performance and productivity, and extend equipment life. Robust PdM tools enable organisations to leverage and maximise the value of their existing data to stay ahead of potential breakdowns or disruptions in services, and address them proactively instead of reacting to issues as they arise. Therefore, it has attracted more and more attention of specialists in recent years.

This paper provides a comprehensive review of the recent advancements of machine learning (ML) techniques widely applied to PdM by classifying the research according to the ML algorithms, machinery and equipment used in data acquisition. Important contributions of the researchers are highlighted, leading to some guidelines and foundation for further studies. Currently, BIENDONG POC is running some pilot PdM projects for critical equipment in Hai Thach - Moc Tinh gas processing plant.
Energy integration: Green future for late-life offshore oil and gas assets
Authors: Nguyễn Thu Hương , Nguyễn Thị Thanh Lê
Published: December 2021

In recent years, the oil and gas industry has been facing objections from a public greatly concerned with the severe environmental impact caused by fossil fuels and their infrastructures, and strong demands from policy makers seeking to meet decarbonisation goals. Amidst a global energy transition, the future demand, finance, and social responsibilities of oil and gas companies are increasingly in question. One of the biggest problems of the industry is what are the “green” solutions for the late-life offshore oil and gas assets. Energy integration with reusing or repurposing oil and gas assets for new technologies could be a worthwhile investment strategy helping reduce carbon emission from oil and gas production as well as accelerating carbon capture and storage (CCS) and green hydrogen development to support the global decarbonisation. According to research, the late-life offshore oil and gas assets play an important role in energy integration while helping to have more opportunities to develop the new technologies that are in the early stages of development with high capex, necessary to make them more economically attractive and facilitate maximum energy integration. Reusing or repurposing oil and gas infrastructure can lead to 30% capex saving and million tons of CO2 pa emission reductions.

In this paper, potential concepts of energy integration for offshore oil and gas assets are introduced, and some lessons learned and implications for reusing or repurposing late-life offshore assets for Vietnam are also presented.
A UBERIZAÇÃO DA DOCÊNCIA - A EXPROPRIAÇÃO DOS DIREITOS DO PROFESSOR
Authors: Ruiz Watzeck José
Published: December 2021

O presente artigo tem como base, o Materialismo Histórico Dialético, onde através desta nova modalidade empregatícia para a classe docente; A Uberização dos Professores, explicita de forma clara, a expropriação dos direitos trabalhistas do Professor. Enfatizou-se sobre as condições do docente, na forma do exercício da função através das plataformas. Foi possível analisar que, o profissional arca com todos os riscos de uma contratação desta natureza, não há pagamentos por atividades extras como: correção de provas, trabalhos, planejamentos, orientação aos discentes e até mesmo reuniões pedagógicas. Assim, quando a escola precisa de um professor de determinada disciplina, basta acessar o aplicativo e solicitar um profissional para o dia e hora marcada, não há direitos trabalhistas, se por ventura, um profissional sofrer um acidente a caminho da escola solicitante, ele é o único responsável com os custos médicos, afinal, a escola já faz este tipo de contratação para que não aja valores acima dos acordados com as plataformas. Com o apoio bibliográfico e observacional, podemos chegar aos objetivos propostos neste estudo, sendo eles: criações de políticas públicas de qualidade e o reconhecimento do professor pelos governantes, apenas desta forma, será possível mudar este quadro de rupturas dos direitos do trabalhador docente.

Stress management strategies of secondary school teachers in Nigeria
Authors: Arikewuyo M. O.
Published: December 2021

The study provides empirical evidence for the management of stress by teachers of secondary schools in Nigeria. A total of 3,466 teachers, drawn from secondary schools in Ogun State of Nigeria, returned their instrument for the study. Data were analysed using percentages and chi-square. The findings indicate that teachers frequently use the active behavioural and inactive (escape) strategies in managing stress. While the active congnitive strategies are never used, the teachers express mixed feelings about the adoption of the inactive behavioural strategies. Also, sex, qualifications and location have a relationship with the type of stress coping strategies adopted by the teachers.
The appraisal of mathematics teachers in Ghana
Authors: Fletcher Jonathan A.
Published: December 2021

Many mathematics teachers in Ghanaian secondary schools have little or no training in the teaching of mathematics, yet they teach the subject because of the shortage of mathematics teachers in Ghana. Such teachers and their trained counterparts, need professional help to enable them guide pupils learn the subject effectively and efficiently especially since the duration for pre-university education in Ghana has been cut by about five. This study aimed to; 1. Examine the nature of teacher appraisal in Ghana . 2. Examine the validity of existing methods of teacher appraisal in Ghana. 3. Determine which variables influence Ghanaian mathematics teachers' views about teacher appraisal and its ability to help them improve their competence of teaching mathematics. Of the 441 secondary mathematics teachers who participated in the study, 193 taught the subject at the junior secondary level and 248 taught it at the senior secondary level. In addition, 44 Ghana Education Service Officials and six heads of secondary schools who appraise mathematics teachers were sampled. Methods used included questionnaires, interviews and observation of appraisers at work. Highly significant relationships were found between mathematics teachers' perceived professional support and appraisal experience, mathematics teaching experience and professional status at the senior secondary level, and between received support and appraisal experience at the junior secondary level. The results indicated a dramatic difference between junior secondary and senior secondary mathematics teachers in their perception of the potential of the teacher appraisal system in Ghana to help them to improve their teaching of mathematics. Senior secondary mathematics teachers were generally more pessimistic about the potential of the appraisal system than their junior secondary counterparts. The study also showed that many education officials who appraise mathematics teachers have little or no training in secondary school mathematics teaching or its appraisal, yet the appraisal system for both formative and summative purposes require these officers to both "help " mathematics teachers improve their work and make judgements about their performance. These findings led to the conclusion that the teacher appraisal system in the Ghana Education Service is not valid. The implications of the findings are discussed.
