Implications of Foreign Direct Investment on SME Growth in Zimbabwe: A Case Study of Bulawayo Province
Authors: Nyathi Lawrence Dumisani , Chikwala Privilege
Published: November 2024

SMEs in Zimbabwe have withstood the test of time amidst economic decay experienced by the Zimbabwean economy for the past two decades. Since the adoption of progrowth policies in Zimbabwe FDI inflows have significantly increased overtime towards SMEs due because of their nurture to drive growth and economic competitiveness as well as navigating difficult economic landscapes. Therefore the paper investigates the implications of foreign direct investment on SME growth in Bulawayo. A qualitative research approach aligned with interpretivism research philosophy was adopted in this paper. The research subjects were selected using a convenient sampling technique. A total of 20 interviews were conducted with the managers and business owners of SMEs. The related challenges faced by SMEs in the Bulawayo metropolitan are increased competition, access to capital difficulties, skill and technology gaps, and regulatory and bureaucratic hurdles. The findings revealed that FDI plays a multifaceted role in shaping the SME landscape in Bulawayo metropolitan. The positive effects included opportunities for technology transfer, market expansion, improved infrastructure, capacity building, and training opportunities, and inclusion of the small and medium enterprises in supply chain integration. The study recommends a broader discussion with policymakers, business leaders, and other stakeholders to maximise the benefits of foreign direct investment on small to medium enerprises while mitigating its adverse effects.

Authors: Álvarez Hernández David Alejandro , Mercado-Salgado Patricia
Published: November 2024

Desde 2018, el Estado de México obtuvo la ampliación de la denominación de origen del mezcal (DOM). No obstante, algunas controversias legales interpuestas por la entidad reguladora y empresas oaxaqueñas impiden su aprovechamiento, al argumentar el incumplimiento de factores humanos y geográficos, ambos relacionados con elementos intangibles. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar la relación entre el capital intelectual (CI), la coopetición y los resultados empresariales en la producción de agave y mezcal en el Estado de México. Se realizó una investigación cuantitativa, descriptiva y correlacional con una muestra no probabilística de 134 productores de agave y mezcal del Estado de México mediante un cuestionario. Los resultados destacaron la relevancia del capital humano y relacional, mientras que el capital estructural necesita mejoras. La coopetición organizativa supera a la proximidad geográfica. La subsistencia del sector empresarial se refleja en los resultados financieros y de innovación, aunque los resultados de mercado exigen mayor atención. Se confirmó que el CI influye más en los resultados empresariales que la coopetición. El CI, como sistema dinámico, requiere gestión e inversión para mejorar el desempeño empresarial. Con este recurso intangible y la coopetición, es posible enfrentar las controversias asociadas con la DOM y avanzar hacia la obtención de la certificación requerida.

Published: November 2024

The increasing demand for efficiency and productivity in top management has led to the development of smart office technologies. Using Wellspring University, Benin as a model, this study developed an artificial intelligent-based, smart scheduling system for executive officers in the University system. The system automated most of the daily activities – reminders, deadline management, meeting scheduling and daily appointments – of the Vice Chancellor, Deputy Vice Chancellor, Registrar, Bursar and Librarian. PHP, CSS, HTML and JavaScript tools were harmonized in the design of this work while integrating greedy algorithm for prioritizing tasks and periodic evaluation of the overall performance. Decision extracts from high-powered meetings which could take weeks to get across to the implementers have been made easy with this system, by automatically generating the excerpts and sending them through the intra-communication channel for the executives’ secretaries for validation and onward circulation. The system ensured security and integrity of data through secured login and access control with the AES/RSA encryption. This work has remarkably removed the mundane tasks and laid out a more effective and efficient way of improving productivity and time optimization in management. It shows a smart coordination of executive functions in a twenty-first century and technology-compliant University.

Published: November 2024

Yellow fever surveillance is essential for early outbreak detection and timely interventions. Community health workers (CHWs) are critical to this effort, yet their participation remains underexplored in the North West Region of Cameroon. This study aimed to assess the involvement of CHWs in yellow fever surveillance from 2021 to 2024, focusing on health districts in the region. Data from surveillance reports, notification forms, and interviews with health personnel (HPs) and CHWs were analyzed using descriptive statistics and geographic mapping. Of 427 suspected yellow fever cases, 419 were reported by HPs and only 8 by CHWs, indicating a 2% community involvement rate. These findings highlight an underutilization of CHWs in surveillance efforts, underscoring the need for better integration, training, and support to enhance community-level disease monitoring. Strengthening CHW participation could improve the effectiveness of yellow fever surveillance and outbreak response in the region.

Published: November 2024

Väitöskirjassani tutkin deliberatiivisen dialogin rajoja, sekä oikeuksien ja vastuiden jakoa valtion, yritysten ja kansalaisyhteiskunnan välillä luonnonvarojen hallinnan ja kaivoskonfliktien kontekstissa. Globalisaation myötä perinteiset rajat näiden toimijoiden välillä ovat murtuneet ja muuttuneet, ja erilaisista intresseistä neuvotellaan moninaisilla paikallisilla ja globaaleilla foorumeilla. Näin ollen, on kiinnostavaa tutkia miten erilaisia intressikoalitioita ja hegemonioita rakennetaan, ylläpidetään ja kyseenalaistetaan.  Teoreettisesti tutkimukseni sijoittuu organisaatiotutkimuksen alalle hyödyntäen politiikan tutkimuksen ja poliittisen ekologian käsitteitä. Tutkimus selvittää miten erilaiset historialliset ja poliittiset tekijät vaikuttavat rakentuviin hallinnan muotoihin, miten yksityinen sääntely korvaa tai lomittuu osaksi julkisen vallan käyttöä, ja millaisia mahdollisuuksia ja haasteita nämä uudet hallinnan muodot tuottavat. Lisäksi tutkimukseni tarkastelee kriittisesti deliberatiivisen dialogin mahdollisuuksia johtamisen ja organisaatiotutkimuksen alalla painottaen tasa-arvoisen osallistumisen tärkeyttä sekä erimielisyyksien, ristiriitojen ja konfliktien mahdollistamista näissä prosesseissa. Väitöskirjan tulokset tuovat uutta tietoa yritysten ja yhteiskunnan välisistä suhteista, ja erityisesti siitä miten julkinen valta tuottaa yritysvastuuta ja vastuullisia yrityksiä.

Esse artigo buscou identificar o impacto periodontal resultante de tratamentos restauradores mal conduzidos e suas consequências. Foram realizadas pesquisas nas bases de dados BVS, Scielo, Pubmed, também foram considerados livros clássicos e relevantes que abordavam o tema em questão. Tratamentos restauradores mal conduzidos podem afetar significativamente a saúde periodontal, resultando em uma série de complicações que comprometem a integridade dos tecidos de suporte dos dentes. Restaurações dentárias mal ajustadas podem causar sobrecarga oclusal, levando ao trauma nos tecidos periodontais e reabsorção óssea. Além disso, margens restauradoras desajustadas favorecem a retenção de placa bacteriana e tártaro, promovendo inflamação e formação de bolsas periodontais. Contornos inadequados das restaurações podem dificultar a higiene interdental, contribuindo para a inflamação gengival e doenças periodontais. O excesso de matérias restauradores pode causar reações adversas nos tecidos gengivais aumentando o risco de doença periodontal. Além disso, restaurações mal ajustadas podem comprometer a estética e a função mastigatória, afetando a motivação do paciente para manter uma boa higiene bucal. A ausência de manutenção e monitoramento adequado das restaurações pode permitir a progressão de problemas periodontais. Portanto, é essencial que os tratamentos restauradores sejam realizados corretamente seguidos de um acompanhamento rigoroso para preservar a saúde periodontal do paciente.

Identifying time patterns of highland and lowland air temperature trends in Italy and the UK across monthly and annual scales
Authors: Liyew Chalachew Muluken , Di Nardo Elvira , Meo Rosa , Ferraris Stefano
Published: November 2024

Abstract. This paper presents a statistical analysis of air temperature data from 32 stations in Italy and the UK up to 2000 m above sea level from 2002 to 2021. The data came from both highland and lowland areas in order to evaluate the differences due to both location and elevation. The analysis focused on detecting trends at annual and monthly timescales, employing ordinary least-squares (OLS), robust S-estimator regression, and Mann–Kendall (MK) and Sen's slope methods. Hierarchical clustering (HCA) using dynamic time warping (DTW) was then applied to the monthly data to analyze the intra-annual pattern similarity of trends within and across the groups. Two different regions of Europe were chosen because of the different climate and temperature trends – namely, the northern UK (smaller trends) and the northwest Italian Alps (larger trends). The main novelty of the work is to show that stations with similar locations and altitudes have similar monthly slopes by quantifying them using DTW and clustering. These results reveal the nonrandomness of different trends throughout the year and between different parts of Europe, with a modest influence of altitude in wintertime. The findings revealed that group average trends were close to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) values for the areas in Italy and the UK, confirming the validity of analyzing a small number of stations. More interestingly, intra-annual patterns were detected commonly at the stations of each of the groups and are clearly different between them. Confirming the different climates, most highland and lowland stations in Italy exhibit statistically significant positive trends, while in the UK, both highland and lowland stations show statistically nonsignificant negative trends. Hierarchical clustering in combination with DTW showed consistent similarity between monthly patterns of means and trends within the group of stations and inconsistent similarity between patterns across groups. The use of the 12 distance correlation matrices (dcor) (one for each month) also contributes to what is the main result of the paper, which is to clearly show the different temporal patterns in relation to location and (in some months) altitude. The anomalous behaviors detected at 3 of the 32 stations, namely Valpelline, Fossano, and Aonoch Mòr, can be attributed, respectively, to the facts that Valpelline is the lowest-elevation station in its group; Fossano is the southernmost of the Italian stations, with some sublittoral influence; and Aonoch Mòr has a large number of missing values. In conclusion, these results improve our understanding of temperature spatio-temporal dynamics in two very different regions of Europe and emphasize the importance of consistent analysis of data to assess the ongoing effects of climate change. The intra-annual time patterns of temperature trends could also be compared with climate model results.
Divergent changes in aerosol optical hygroscopicity and new particle formation induced by heatwaves

Published: November 2024

Abstract. As a crucial climate-forcing driver, the aerosol optical enhancement factor (f(RH)) is significantly modulated by the evolution of particle number size distribution (PNSD), e.g., during new particle formation (NPF). The mechanisms regulating aerosol optical hygroscopicity during different NPF events and non-event days, particularly those influenced by heatwaves due to global warming, remain poorly understood. In the extremely hot summer of 2022 in urban Chongqing of southwest China, simultaneous measurements of aerosol optical and hygroscopic properties, PNSD, and bulk chemical compositions were conducted. Two distinct types of NPF were identified: the ones with relatively polluted period (P1) and clean cases during heatwave-dominated period (P2). Heatwaves triggered NPF earlier and prolonged the subsequent growth, resulting in smaller aerosol effective radius (Reff) and lower growth rate. This agreed with the concurrently increased aerosol hemispheric backscattering fraction and scattering Ångström exponent. f(RH) was generally higher during NPF events in comparison to that for non-event cases in both periods. Heatwave-induced stronger photooxidation may intensify the formation of more hygroscopic secondary components, as well as the subsequent growth of pre-existing particles and newly formed ultrafine ones, thereby enhancing aerosol optical hygroscopicity especially during heatwave-influenced NPF events. The promoted f(RH) and lowered Reff could synergistically elevate the aerosol direct radiative forcing, specifically under persistent heatwave conditions. Further in-depth exploration on molecular-level characterizations and aerosol radiative impacts of both direct and indirect interactions during weather extremes (e.g., heatwaves) with the warming climate are recommended.
Ozone pollution may limit the benefits of irrigation to wheat productivity in India

Published: November 2024

Abstract. Ground level ozone (O3) pollution, heat and water stress are recognised as key abiotic stresses which threaten the ability of wheat yields to meet the growing demand for food production in India. The magnitude and interplay of O3 and water-stress effects are tightly coupled via stomatal conductance and the transpiration pathway. Existing modelling methods that assess stress response as a function of O3- and water vapour-stomatal flux are applied to assess O3’s role in limiting productivity afforded by irrigation. We investigate the effect of these stresses on grain yield of older (HUW-234) vs recently released (HD-3118) Indian wheat cultivars under current and future climates and O3 precursor emission profiles (using RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios). Water-stress in rainfed conditions was modelled to analyse the trade-off between O3-induced vs. water-stress-induced yield loss to quantify the extent to which water-stress mitigates O3 stress via reduced stomatal conductance. Under rainfed conditions for the years 1996-2005, the mean water-stress-induced and O3-induced yield loss for HUW-234 was 13.3 % and 0.6 % respectively. The latter was a significant decrease from the mean O3-induced yield loss of 10.6 % modelled under irrigated conditions (i.e. no water stress). Similarly, under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios for the mid-century, water-stress induced yield losses under rainfed conditions were 10.1 % and 20.0 %, while mean O3-induced yield losses were only 1.0 % and 0.1 % respectively. Under irrigation, O3-induced yield losses increased to 18.5 % and 13.7 %, suggesting that O3 stress will negate the beneficial effects of irrigation. The cultivar HD-3118 suffered on average 0.2 % greater O3 relative yield loss (O3RYL) than HUW-234 across all scenarios. The O3RYL increased with climate change under the RCP4.5 scenario by 7.9 % and RCP8.5 by 3.0 % compared to the current climate. Together these findings suggest that O3 may continue to substantially limit the productivity benefits of the use of modern cultivars bred for high gas exchange grown under irrigated conditions in India.
A Novel Method to Quantify the Uncertainty Contribution of Aerosol-Radiative Interaction Factors
Authors: He Bishuo , Zhao Chunsheng
Published: November 2024

Abstract. The IPCC's assessment report shows that the radiative forcing of aerosol-radiation interactions still involves significant uncertainty. The commonly used method for factor uncertainty estimation is the One-at-A-Time (OAT) method which evaluates factor sensitivity by controlling the change in a single variable while keeping others constant. The outcomes from the OAT method require high data quality to ensure accuracy, and the results are only valid near the selected constant. This study proposes a new method called Constrained Parameter (CP) to quantify the uncertainty contribution of factors in a multi-factor system. This method constrains the uncertainty of a single factor and evaluates its sensitivity by analyzing how this change affects output uncertainty. The most significant advantage of the CP method is that it can be applied to any data distribution, and its results can reflect the overall data characteristics. By comparing the results calculated by the CP method and the OAT method, the proportion of factor interactions in the factor uncertainty contributions can be obtained. As an application of the CP method, it is used to perform a detailed analysis of aerosol-radiation interaction factors’ uncertainty contributions. The top 3 most sensitive factors are the complex refractive index of aerosol shell materials, light-absorbing carbon parameters, and Mie theory parameters. Due to their high sensitivity and low observational precision, these factors represent significant sources of uncertainty in aerosol-radiation interactions. These factors need to be prioritized for operational observation programs and model parameter inputs.
Air quality trends and regimes in South Korea inferred from 2015–2023 surface and satellite observations

Abstract. We analyze 2015–2023 trends in air quality in South Korea using surface (AirKorea network) and satellite measurements, including the new GEMS geostationary instrument. Primary air pollutants (CO, SO2, NO2) have decreased steadily at rates consistent with the national CAPSS emissions inventory. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) show no significant trend. GEMS glyoxal (CHOCHO) identifies large industrial sources of VOCs while formaldehyde (HCHO) points to additional biogenic sources. Surface ozone (O3) peaks in May–June and the maximum 8-hour daily average (MDA8) exceeds the 60 ppbv standard everywhere. The AirKorea average May–June 90th percentile MDA8 O3 increased at 0.8 ppbv a−1, which has been attributed to VOC-sensitive conditions. Satellite HCHO/NO2 ratios indicate that the O3 production regime over Korea is shifting from VOC- to NOx-sensitive conditions as NOx emissions decrease. The O3 increase at AirKorea sites is because most of these sites are in the Seoul Metropolitan Area where vestiges of VOC-sensitive conditions persist; we find no such O3 increases over the rest of Korea where conditions are NOx-sensitive or in the transition regime. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been decreasing at 5 % a−1 in both AirKorea and satellite observations but the nitrate (NO3−) component has not been decreasing. Satellite NH3/NO2 ratios show that PM2.5 NO3− formation was NH3-sensitive before 2019 but is now becoming NOx-sensitive as NOx emissions decrease. Our results indicate that further NOx emission decreases in Korea will reap benefits for both O3 and PM2.5 NO3− as their production is now dominantly NOx-sensitive.
Hydrological regime index for non-perennial rivers
Authors: Dornes Pablo Fernando , Comas Rocío Noelia
Published: November 2024

Abstract. The hydrological regime is an integrated basin response that constitutes an established paradigm for environmental flows (E-Flows) to mimic it since all its components influence aquatic life, and therefore fluvial ecosystems. It has been widely described that human activities and climate change modify the natural hydrological regime. These changes in non-permanent rivers generally tend towards greater intermittency, a condition that limits the applicability of hydrological alteration indices. The general aim of the paper was to develop an aggregated impact index, the Hydrological Regime Index (HRI) suitable for flow alteration assessment in non-permanent rivers. The HRI is composed of the flow magnitude attenuation, timing of maximum flow and interannual flow variation impact factors. The HRI is based on simple conceptualisations and uses monthly flow data, allowing its applicability in basins with limited information. The HRI was suitable to evaluate the impacts on the river regime of both the Desaguadero-Salado-Chadiluevú-Curacó River which is severely dammed with intermit runoff and the Colorado River with permanent runoff. In all the cases, the HRI was able to discriminate different impacts on the hydrological regime for natural, low and high impoundment conditions. Thus, the HRI constitutes a very useful tool for determining E-Flows and quantifying impacts due to water or land use changes.

Published: November 2024

Abstract. Floating offshore wind turbines represent a promising new technology in offshore renewables, but they are still in their early stages with few prototypes and limited performance data. As part of the NETTUNO research project, this study examines how platform movement affects the aerodynamics of a floating wind turbine rotor and connects its load response to the evolution of its wake. Wind tunnel experiments were performed on a 1:75 scale model wind turbine subjected to platform movements in various directions. Collected data includes measurements of rotor loads and wind speed in the wake of the wind turbine at different downstream distances from the rotor. The study provides a detailed analysis of a selected portion of the data, while the entire dataset is accessible via an open repository. Results indicate that surge and pitch motions induce periodic thrust fluctuations, leading to variations in near wake velocity that peak at a reduced frequency of 0.6. Yaw motion causes oscillations in the yaw moment and lateral wake meandering. Combined surge and sway motions result in skewed apparent wind speed, causing both wake velocity fluctuations and lateral meandering. Increased turbulence intensity near the wake center suggests enhanced wake mixing and potentially a faster recovery beyond a distance of 5 diameters downstream. New experimental data may serve as a foundation for validating numerical simulation tools, while the main findings of the study are thought to provide valuable knowledge for optimizing future large-scale floating wind farms.
Exploring Ecohydrology in a Subtropical Montaine Forest Using Multiple Techniques
Authors:   , Bellis Laura
Published: November 2024

Transpiration can make up a large proportion of an ecosystem water balance, but there remains a knowledge gap in quantitatively understanding the relative importance of controlling factors. This thesis identified five variables that could be used to accurately model transpiration, and proposes an upscaling workflow using random forest modelling to predict transpiration for other periods and areas using national datasets. Recharge and evapotranspiration at the field site were both estimated to be high, and stable isotopes of water data revealed atypical isotopic signatures which could be related to recycling of evapotranspired water or cloud water interception.

Anti-Diodorean Quantum Logic of Observables
Authors: V. Vasyukov
Published: November 2024

The conception of “Anti-Diodorean” logic is based on the reversal of the definitions of Diodorus Cronus, who proposed to define modal concepts in terms of temporal ones. In case of quantum logic this is done by using the semantic interpretation of anti-Diodorean definitions, i.e. semantically defining spatio-temporal concepts by means of a quantum accessibility relation. Since Quantum Logic of Observables could be treated as the many-valued extension of the usual Quantum Logic, we can consider the Anti-Diodorean Logic of Observables in the same way.
Deriving De Re: In Favour of Moderate Uniformity
Authors: D. Tiskin
Published: November 2024

In the study of the ambiguities found in propositional attitude reports, the discovery of new interpretations led to the proliferation of semantic mechanisms stipulated to derive them. On the other hand, some authors have made attempts to reduce the number of those mechanisms. The present paper aims at a critical evaluation of some reductionist proposals, defending moderate unification that recognises two distinct mechanisms behind de re which both lead to genuine ambiguities.

В 2010 году Баац (Baaz) и Меткалф (Metcalfe) опубликовали инфинитарное аналитическое гиперсеквенциальное исчисление для первопорядковой бесконечнозначной логики Лукасевича, но привели неверное доказательство полноты этого исчисления. В данном докладе представляется первое верное доказательство полноты этого исчисления.
О законе непротиворечия и эксплозивности следования в логиках
Authors: Е.Н. Томова
Published: November 2024

Рассматриваются различные аспекты взаимосвязи закона непротиворечия и принципа эксплозивности следования в классической и паранепротиворечивой логиках. Приводятся уточнения и обощения понятия эксплозивности следования в паранепротиворечивых системах. Паранепротиворечивые системы дают возможность четко разграничивать эти принципы, в то же время условие нормальности логики позволяет рассматривать эти принципы как эквивалентные.
Analysing Local Environmental Disputes and Governance in Belt and Road Host Countries: Establishing Legitimacy through the Social License to Operate (SLO)
Authors: Ziwei Zhang
Published: November 2024

While the "Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)" infrastructure projects bring socio-economic benefits to host countries, they also come with the risk of triggering environmental issues within local environmental disputes and governance challenges. Utilizing a combination of theoretical analysis and case studies, this paper investigates the role of the Social License to Operate (SLO) framework in addressing environmental conflicts within Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) infrastructure projects, and how the BRI environmental legal system can be utilised to help BRI projects gain SLOs from local residents in terms of environmental aspects. The findings propose an integrated governance model combining hard and soft law approaches, with specific recommendations for achieving this through improved host country environmental regulation, international investment agreements and oversight responsibilities for Chinese overseas investors, including enhanced public participation and improved environmental impact assessments.
Local Governance and School-based Approaches to English Language Acquisition: A Comparative Analysis
Authors: Chan Zhao
Published: November 2024

In order to improve the effectiveness of English acquisition, it is necessary to discuss it in conjunction with local governance policies. Local governments should conduct an analysis of English acquisition from the aspects of policies, systems, and social participation. This paper puts forward three hypotheses: local policies and systems can improve the effectiveness of English learning, which are related. Public attention can promote the improvement of English acquisition effect and play a supervisory role; Laws and regulations can ensure the foundation of basic conditions for English acquisition and promote the improvement of school infrastructure. The results show that local policies and institutions are the conditions for improving English acquisition methods, social attention is the condition for verification, and school infrastructure is the key condition. Social issues, local policies and institutions all play an indirect role in promoting English language acquisition, while infrastructure plays a direct role. Therefore, local governments should improve English acquisition policies and systems, promote the introduction of English acquisition laws and regulations, and guide the public to supervise.

Published: November 2024

The livestock environmental policy is crucial to controlling agricultural pollution under a sustainable development strategy, and the evaluation of relevant policy is an important basis for reducing policy implementation deviations and protecting the production and living environment in rural areas. This study conducted text mining of 56 Chinese centrally released livestock environmental regulation policies, analyzed policy tool preference tendency, and with the evaluation system established by the Policy Modeling Consistency index model, this study made a quantitative analysis of 8 key livestock environmental regulation policies since 2001. Research results show that, overall, Chinese policy tools tend to be control-oriented, but in recent years, incentive-based tools are also considered. The current policy needs improvement in terms of policy nature, policy-issuing institutions, and measures. This study is helpful to fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of Chinese livestock environmental regulation and provides a valuable evaluation basis for future policy releases.

Currently, it is known that diesel engines are used as the main power plant for autonomous railway traction rolling stock as the main power source. The purpose of the presented article is to consider the possibilities and prospects for the development of gas turbine engines as a power plant for shunting locomotives, which are comparable to all indicators of diesel engines and have high performance in some efficiency indicators. The proposed method will not only increase the fuel efficiency of the shunting locomotive, but also reduce emissions of harmful substances released into the environment during the operation of the power plant. As a result of the analyses, the relative dependence of the specific fuel consumption of diesel and gas turbine engines depending on the power indicators was built. As a result of the study, it was found that the use of gas turbine engines on locomotives can reduce specific fuel consumption by 15-20% and increase the operational life of the engine by 4-6 times.

A framework is proposed that pools knowledge from scholars in Russia, the USA, and Kazakhstan, aiming to arm future teachers with the skills to handle the nuanced social aspects of their roles effectively. The importance of emotional intelligence (EI) for educators is considered, using a combination of research and insights from teaching professionals to understand how teachers can better manage their emotions and create a positive classroom environment. Emotional problems associated with teaching are discussed and effective strategies for overcoming them are suggested. Highlighting the critical role of emotional skills in teacher education, we advocate for incorporating EI training into teaching programs. This approach will prepare teachers not just academically but emotionally as well, setting the stage for a more supportive and effective learning atmosphere.

Published: November 2024

The continent of Africa faces numerous socio-economic challenges that impede her development. Despite the abundance of natural and mineral resources, Africa has over 2000 tertiary institutions, with Nigeria alone having over 200 universities, polytechnics, colleges of agriculture, and colleges of education. All these tertiary education institutes in Africa/Nigeria boast of having well over 4000 professors. In spite of all these educational establishments, only a few of these innovative technologies emanate from Africa. This paper presents a working definition of the term innovative technology and how it stands as a promising hope for addressing these challenges and fostering socio-economic development. Innovations such as e-learning platforms, learning management systems, mobile learning, virtual and augmented reality, open educational resources, blockchain for credentials, and renewable energy solutions offer potential solutions to improve educational access and quality. The successful implementation of these technologies can enhance educational outcomes, reduce poverty, and support sustainable development across the continent. This review also identifies the barriers to the full realization of these technologies, such as poor infrastructure, digital divides, and socio-economic disparities. It offers suggestions for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders on how to leverage technology for sustainable socio-economic growth. The ultimate goal is to foster an inclusive and equitable educational environment that empowers all African learners and contributes to the continent's overall development.
