Classrooms daily life made us rethink the practices and instruments available to achieve better analyzes and,
consequently, a better interpretation and subsequent understanding of the content taught. As teachers of the
Theory and History of Architecture and Architectural Design discipline, we have been using drawing as an
instrument of architectural analysis for some years, which has enabled students to have a broader understanding
of the field of architecture, the construction of an architectural vocabulary and the exercise of graphic skills,
inherent to the design process. Just like literature, architecture has a grammatical structure made up of its own
elements. The more the student delves into this structure and knows these elements, the better they become at
translating this architecture and designing another. In this sense, this text proposes a comparative analysis of the
methods conceived and used by Francis D. K. Ching, Geoffrey Howe Baker, Simon Unwin, Leupen Roger Clark
& Michael Pause and Peter Eisenman, which we recurrently use and apply in class throughout the process of
professional training. Its objective is to review and criticize, not only the propositions of these authors, but the practices adopted in teaching design, theory and their interfaces with representation and drawing in the process of graphic analysis
Educational Disparities Among CHT Indigenous People: Addressing Vernacular Challenges And Prejudice
Authors: . .
Published: January 2025

This study explores the educational barriers faced by Indigenous communities in the Chittagong Hill Tracts
(CHT) of Bangladesh, focusing on vernacular language challenges and systemic prejudice within the education
system. Indigenous groups such as the Chakma, Marma, and Tripura encounter significant difficulties due to the
dominance of Bangla as the primary medium of instruction. Many Indigenous students speak vernacular
languages, often unwritten, creating substantial linguistic barriers to comprehension and engagement in the
classroom. Sultana (2011) notes, "The absence of indigenous languages in the formal education system limits
students' ability to engage and comprehend, restricting their overall academic development." This linguistic
divide often results in lower academic performance and higher dropout rates from schools among Indigenous
students. The challenges are further compounded by entrenched prejudice and discrimination, which alienate
students and perpetuate their marginalization. Unequal treatment, culturally irrelevant curricula, and insensitive
teaching practices exacerbate exclusion, lowering self-esteem and hindering educational outcomes. As Roy
(2017) asserts, "For Indigenous students, education in their mother tongue is not just a matter of comprehension
but a gateway to preserving their identity and cultural heritage.” This study examines the intersection of linguistic
and cultural biases through qualitative methods, offering insights into how these barriers impede access to quality
education. The findings highlight the urgent need for language-sensitive policies, mother-tongue instruction, and
systemic reforms to address discrimination. Such measures can create a more inclusive and equitable learning environment, fostering socio-economic development while preserving cultural identity and heritage for Indigenous communities.
Add 10 Minutes Of Music To Each Session Teaching English In The Classroom
Authors: Hoa Nguyen Thi Thu
Published: January 2025

After a longtime teaching English, I find it’s very necessary and important to warm up a few minutes at the
beginning of each lesson. This helps students feel comfortable, relaxed, next, they will be very active and gain a
lot of energy before starting a new class. I usually have 3 periods/ lesson (150 minutes), so I decided to spend the
first 10 minutes listening and singing along to an English song that suits their level instead of checking the old lesson, correcting the old one. I hope that my research will be spread to English teachers in a positive and energetic way no matter where they are taught and at any age
An Institutional Framework for Curbing Corruption in State-Owned Enterprises in Zimbabwe: A MultiDimensional Governance Approach
Authors: Manyika Tapiwa , Marima Nelia Eta
Published: January 2025

State-owned enterprises (SOEs) in Zimbabwe are critical to the national economy, yet they remain plagued by
pervasive corruption, hindering both their performance and reputation. Despite numerous reform initiatives,
corruption remains deeply entrenched in these entities, exacerbated by weak institutional frameworks and
ineffective oversight mechanisms. This study proposes a tailored, multi-dimensional institutional framework for
curbing corruption within Zimbabwe’s SOEs, drawing on theories such as X-inefficiency, Institutional Theory,
Stakeholder Theory, and Expectancy Theory to develop a comprehensive model. The research employs
qualitative content analysis of 30 relevant articles, identifying key drivers of corruption, including leadership
vacuums, lack of accountability, and the absence of strong institutional frameworks. The study reveals that
existing anti-corruption efforts have been largely ineffective due to gaps in policy, legislation, capacity, and
political will. By integrating global anti-corruption best practices with localized reforms, the proposed
framework aims to enhance transparency, strengthen governance, and promote sustainable anti-corruption
practices in Zimbabwe’s SOEs. This framework is intended to provide actionable insights for policymakers and contribute to the global discourse on governance reform in public institutions, particularly within developing economies

Social Changes Among Malayali Tribes Of Eastern Ghats
Authors: Padmanabhan Kiran
Published: January 2025

Background: The Malavali, or Malayali, are a tribal community in the Eastern Ghats of India, primarily found
in the hilly regions of Salem, Attur, and surrounding areas. They have a rich cultural heritage that is closely linked
to their surroundings. Their social interactions were characterised by economic, religious and cultural factors
which has been orally transferred through generations. Yet, in recent decades, the Malvali community has
experienced considerable socio-cultural changes driven by factors like urbanisation and technological progress.
This research focuses on examining how these transformations have affected their socio-economic structures,
cultural traditions, and spiritual beliefs.
Methods: In this qualitative study, 45 participants including both male and female above 18, were randomly
selected. The individuals where primarily from three villages namely, Mellur village in Jarugumalai & Vellakadai
village in Shevaroy hills of Salem district, and Gedamalai village in Bodhi hills of Theni district. Moreover, the
study involved semi structured interviews and narrative analysis for extracting relevant insights.
Observation: The Malayali tribes embody a nature-human-religion complex deeply rooted in their surroundings
and characterised by socio-economic activities. Over the past 40 years, exogenous and endogenous forces such
as urbanisation, westernization, and migration has led to the shift in this complex. This has led to a gap between
social progress and technological adoption
Conclusion: The study reveals the core objective of the research which is to highlight the social transformations
of Malayali tribes. The Tribal group is in a constant state of transition towards economic integration. This transition has led to more negative than positive impact. Therefore, proper introspection on social services is required for holistic growth of the Malayalis

Authors: . Firdaus , Kastelany Alby
Published: January 2025

This study explores the use of Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) plastic waste as a substitute
material in Asphalt Concrete Wearing Course (AC-WC) open-graded mixtures with 60/70 penetration bitumen
binder. Aimed at reducing unmanaged plastic waste and mitigating water ponding on roads, the research
evaluates the effects of varying LDPE substitution percentages (5%, 7.5%, 10%) and sizes (0.25 cm² to 12.25
cm²) on asphalt's mechanical and permeability properties.
Key findings show that an optimal 7.5% LDPE substitution enhances Marshall stability, permeability, and void
characteristics (VIM, VMA, VFA), meeting standards from the Indonesian Ministry of Public Works and
Australian Asphalt Pavement Association. Permeability coefficients (0.1–0.5 cm/s) ensure effective drainage,
reducing risks of water pooling. The study concludes that LDPE-modified asphalt improves road safety and durability while addressing environmental concerns, offering a sustainable, cost-effective solution for road construction. Future research should investigate long-term performance and scalability

Background: Nurse Practitioners in Midwifery (NPMs) play a crucial role in maternal and neonatal healthcare,
yet their integration into healthcare system varies globally. Objectives: to assess the awareness and opinion
regarding Nurse Practitioner in Midwifery course of stakeholders, to find the difference between awareness and
opinion of stakeholders, to find the relationship between the awareness and opinion of stakeholders and to find
the association of awareness and opinion of stakeholders with selected socio-demographic variables. Methods
and material: A descriptive survey was conducted with a sample of 600 stakeholders (Doctors, Nursing Faculty
and Practicing Nurses) using purposive and snowball sampling technique. Tool: socio-demographic variables,
Structured Awareness Questionnaire using multiple choice questions and Structured Opinion Rating Scale using
five-point Likert scale. After obtaining ethical clearance the data was collected with the help of Google form and
consent taken from the stakeholders. Results: The findings show that majority 116 (59.8%) doctors, 128 (63.05%)
nursing faculty and 128 (63.05%) practicing nurses were having adequate awareness about NPM course. Total
number of 35 (18.04%) doctors, 51 (25.1%) nursing faculty and 48 (25.12%) practicing nurses were having
moderately adequate awareness about NPM course. Remaining 43 (22.2%) doctors, 24 (11.8%) nursing faculty

Published: January 2025

Uterine fibroid poses a lot of threat to women even in pregnancy presenting with lower abdomen pain and
excessive menstruation, bearing down sensation in the pelvis, infertility, vomiting, fever, and leucocytosis.
Before the treatment of uterine fibroid commences, a diagnosis must be made. The objective of the study is to
ascertain various management and post operation complications in uterine fibroid on women in Federal
Medical Centre Owerri, Imo State. A total of 60 participants were included and recruited in the study
particularly with women who had their operation done in the hospital. The files of the women were monitored
from time of admission till discharge. The study showed that surgery is the most common method of treatment of
uterine fibroid. Out of the total respondents, 69% of the patients had myomectomy, 30% of the patient had total
abdominal hysterectomy with or without salpingo-oophorectomy while 1% had vaginal hysterectomy. None of
the patients opted for the use of drugs, this could be due to the fact that surgical treatment is the most effective
method for the management of uterine fibroid. Since the p- value = 1.000 is greater than the 0.05 level of
significance, we accept H1, and concluded that, the treatment option for uterine fibroid is not significant. The
paper concludes that the most common treatment method for uterine fibroid is myomectomy and the preference for myomectomy is largely due to the strong reproductive desire of women and the need to keep their fertility after surgery.

Authors: S Shilpa
Published: January 2025

Background: The human musculoskeletal system (also known as the human locomotor system, and previously
the activity system) is an organ system that gives humans the ability to move using their muscular and skeletal
systems. The musculoskeletal system provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body. It is made up
of the bones of the skeleton, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue that
supports and binds tissues and organs together. The musculoskeletal system's primary functions include
supporting the body, allowing motion, and protecting vital organs. The Musculoskeletal disorders adversely
affect the function and overall effectiveness of the system. These diseases can be difficult to identify due to the
close relation of the musculoskeletal system to other internal systems.

Drought Distribution Dynamics In South-Western Nigeria: A Geospatial Approach To Climate Risk Evaluation
Authors: Ojo, I.O Malumi, B.O, , S.O Binuomote
Published: January 2025

Drought is a natural occurrence which is a natural induce phenomenon and which cannot be, controlled by
human being but it can be mitigated during and after its occurrence. It is a phenomenon which occurs after a
prolong period of rainfall which brings about fast evapotranspiration as a result of high temperature. Indicator
like SPI, SPEI, SMI and PCI are used to estimate the analysis of drought. These methods of analysis can give
useful information about drought frequency and magnitude. Soil Moisture Index (SMI) shows that evenly
distributed soil moisture was recorded from 1983 to 1992 but the pattern changed during 1993 to 2002 where
there is no serious drought condition. The SMI indicated that there was no drought condition in the entire region
of South Western Nigeria in the year 2003 – 2006 and year 2015 and 2021 showed that very serious drought
occurs. The Plant Condition Index (PCI) indicator agreed with the same explanations given by SMI. The general objective of this paper is to examine the spatia distribution of drought in South Western Nigeria (SWN).

Published: January 2025

In order to lead against greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions which consisted of limiting global warming to 1.5◦ C,
several long-term targets were set during the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) including the
development of green technologies and the use of low-carbon sources (non-edible vegetable oil) to replace
petroleum-based fuels. Biodiesel synthesis from palm kernel oil in the presence of methanol and potash (KOH)
as catalysts was investigated as an effective response to gas emissions from fossil sources. The oil was extracted
from palm kernels using a volatile Soxhlet solvent (C4H10O). The oil was extracted from palm kernels using a
volatile soxhlet solvent(C4H10O).
The obtained results show yields of 50.24% and 75.2% for the extraction of oil and biodiesel, respectively. The
investigated physicochemical properties of the extracted oil indicated a density of 0.907 g.cm-3 and an acid
number of 1.84 mg.KOH.g-1
, a saponification number of 247 mg.KOH.g-1
, an iodine number of 18 g I /100g,
and a viscosity of 8.475 mm².s-1

Cellular And Environmental Facets Of Cross-Interlinkage Of Bacterial Toxin-Antitoxin Systems: An Overview
Authors: Yadav Neetu , . Sahabjada , Gupta Pankaj , Mishra Sanjay
Published: January 2025

Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are widely present in bacterial genomes. They consist of stable toxins and
unstable antitoxins that are classified into distinct groups based on their structure and biological activity. TA
systems are mostly related to mobile genetic elements and can be easily ac- quired through horizontal gene
transfer. The ubiquity of different homologous and non-homologous TA systems within a single bacterial
genome raises questions about their potential cross-interactions. Unspecific cross-talk between toxins and
antitoxins of non-cognate modules may unbalance the ratio of the interacting partners and cause an increase
in the free toxin level, which can be deleterious to the cell. Moreover, TA systems can be involved in
broadly understood molecular networks as transcriptional regulators of other genes’ expression or modulators
of cellular mRNA stability. In nature, multiple copies of highly similar or identical TA systems are rather
infrequent and probably represent a transition stage during evolution to complete insulation or decay of one of
them. Nevertheless, several types of cross-interactions have been described in the literature to date. This
implies a question of the possibility and consequences of the TA system cross-interactions, especially in the
context of the practical application of the TA-based biotechnological and medical strategies, in which such TAs
will be used outside their natural context, will be artificially introduced and induced in the new hosts. Thus, in
this review, authors discuss the prospective challenges of system cross-talks in the safety and effectiveness of TA system usage in view of exploring biotechnological and biomedical applications likely to be worthinteresting for human welfare.

Published: January 2025

Manufacturing had been identified as the first of the big four pillars in the Third Medium Term Plan (MTP) (2018-
2022) of Vision 2030. Its implementation would not only support higher economic growth and faster job creation
but also reduce the high cost of living thereby contributing to the high quality of life of all citizens by contributing
at least 10 per cent of Kenya’s GDP p.a. Nevertheless, little information existed on how various macroeconomic
aggregates contributed to the growth of the manufactured exports in the country, therefore, creating a knowledge
gap for policymakers when making significant decisions for boosting the growth of manufactured exports in
Kenya. This study, thus, sought to determine the effect of capital expenditure on Kenya’s manufactured exports to
Uganda and Tanzania between 2007 and 2018. This study was anchored on Linder’s hypothesis of trade and
employed the gravity model. It adopted a correlational study design and used secondary panel data from the World
Bank, Central Bank of Kenya, Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, and Kenya Export Promotion and Branding
Agency. According to the equation, both random and fixed effect models were estimated. Results of the random
effect model for Kenya’s exports to Uganda and Tanzania indicated that the effect of KXM was positive and
significant (β3 = 0.588, p-value 0.000< 0.05). This study therefore recommends that the Government of Kenya and other stakeholders invest more in education, healthcare, and R&D, incentivize novel sectors like the information and communication technology sector, and deter corruption in development projects.

Published: January 2025

This study analyzed economic indicators, to assess patterns in Nigeria's GDP, poverty rate, and other key
variables over a multi-year period, using a combination of predictive modeling, correlation analysis, clustering,
and dimensional reduction techniques. The predictive analysis revealed a strong alignment between the observed
and predicted values for GDP and poverty rates, with minor error margins and accuracy levels close to 100%,
underscoring the model’s robustness in forecasting these economic indicators. Correlation analysis highlighted
significant positive relationships between GDP and other variables, particularly importation, export, and
exchange rates, while inflation and MPR showed moderate associations. Cluster analysis identified three distinct
periods with economic similarity: 2014–2018, marked by stable growth; 2019–2022, likely influenced by external
shocks or adjustments; and 2023, standing out as unique, potentially due to significant economic changes. The tDistributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) further validated these clusters by revealing distinct
separations between the identified periods. The combined results offer insights into Nigeria’s economic patterns,
revealing periods of stability and adjustment, and highlighting variables that significantly influence GDP and poverty, aiding policymakers in identifying trends and making data-informed decisions.

Abstract
The dynamic nature of international trade finance necessitates innovative risk assessment approaches that
transcend traditional models' limitations. This article explores the transformative role of artificial intelligence
(AI) and blockchain technologies in addressing critical challenges such as fraud detection, credit risk, and
country risk in trade finance. By leveraging AI’s capabilities in predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and
machine learning, trade finance institutions can achieve greater accuracy, efficiency, and adaptability in risk
management processes. Additionally, blockchain technology enhances transaction security through immutable
records and smart contracts, mitigating risks associated with documentation errors and double financing. The
article evaluates how AI and blockchain can be implemented within the regulatory frameworks of UCP600 and
URDG758, ensuring alignment with global trade standards. Furthermore, it highlights the opportunities and
challenges of these technologies, emphasizing the need for stronger data protection measures, regulatory
compliance, and ethical considerations. This study concludes by proposing future directions for research and practice, including real-time risk assessment models and automated compliance monitoring, to drive innovation in the trade finance sector

Authors: . .
Published: January 2025

The rapid evolution of financial technology (fintech) has introduced groundbreaking opportunities for innovation
in trade finance, a traditionally complex and document-intensive domain. However, the integration of disruptive
technologies like blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) into this sector necessitates strict adherence to
international regulatory frameworks, such as the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits
(UCP600) and the Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees (URDG758). This study explores the development of
a compliance-first fintech platform for trade finance, addressing the critical balance between ensuring
technological innovation and meeting stringent regulatory requirements. By examining blockchain’s potential to
enhance transaction security and transparency, alongside AI’s capabilities in real-time risk assessment and fraud
prevention, this paper outlines a model for aligning cutting-edge solutions with established compliance
mechanisms. The analysis highlights key challenges, including regulatory ambiguity, technical limitations, and
financial constraints, while identifying opportunities to reduce fraud, increase operational efficiency, and expand
access to trade financing for underserved businesses. Ultimately, this work provides actionable insights for
fintech developers, trade finance professionals, and policymakers, emphasizing the role of collaboration, ethical considerations, and regulatory sandboxes in shaping a future where innovation and compliance coexist harmoniously

Authors: Devi Seena
Published: January 2025

Access to maternal healthcare is a significant challenge for tribal communities, particularly in remote areas like
Wayanad, Kerala. Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) act as vital intermediaries between the healthcare
system and marginalized populations, striving to improve maternal health outcomes. This study aimed to explore
the role of ASHAs in enhancing access to maternal healthcare among tribal women in Wayanad. A mixed-method
approach was employed, including surveys and interviews with 150 participants (75 ASHAs and 75 tribal women).
The findings revealed that ASHAs play a critical role in increasing awareness, providing basic maternal care,
and facilitating access to healthcare services. However, challenges such as cultural resistance, geographic
barriers, and limited resources hinder their effectiveness. The study emphasizes the need for enhanced training, community engagement, and government support to optimize the impact of ASHAs in tribal areas
