Published: November 2024

The integral yields of the photonuclear reactions 118Sn(,n)117mSn and 124Sn(,n)123mSn, which are of interest for studying scenarios of the formation of atomic nuclei in stars, are measured in the near-threshold energy region. The experimental data are compared with the results of theoretical calculations performed using the TALYS nuclear
reaction code. The dependence of theoretical predictions on the choice of models of the nuclear level density and the radiative strength function is investigated.
ON THE POSSIBILITY OF USING STRAIGHT AND BENT CRYSTALS FOR CHARGED PARTICLE BEAM STEERING AT THE FUTURE MULTIFUNCTIONAL ACCELERATOR COMPLEX OF NSC KIPT
Authors: Kyryllin I.V. , Kovalenko G.D.
Published: November 2024

The scattering of electrons and positrons with energy of 500 MeV on straight and bent silicon crystals has been considered using numerical simulations. The selected particle energy corresponds to parameters that can be achieved at the future multifunctional accelerator complex of the NSC “Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology”. It is shown that bent crystals, at certain orientations, allow deflecting charged particles at angles significantly exceeding the critical angle of axial channeling. It is also shown that experimental investigation of the effect of reducing inco-
herent scattering of high-energy positrons when orienting the crystal relative to the direction of particle incidence near one of the main crystal axes is of interest.
ON IONIZATION LOSS DISTRIBUTION OF RELATIVISTIC PARTICLES IN THIN DETECTORS
Authors: Trofymenko S.V.
Published: November 2024

Ionization energy loss distribution of high-energy charged particles in thin detectors is considered. Its modification due to the fact that a part of δ-electrons, kicked out from the atoms by the incident particles, escape from the detector and do not dispose of all their kinetic energy inside it, is estimated and shown to be negligibly small. The physical reasons for this are discussed. The parameters responsible for the magnitude of this modification are obtained.

Published: November 2024

The efficiency of acceleration of charged particles during cyclotron resonances and acceleration of particles in a vacuum without an external magnetic field are considered. It is shown that the statement formulated in Lawson-Woodward theorem that relativistic particles do not exchange energy with an external electromagnetic wave in a vacuum is not sufficiently justified.
THE EFFECT OF EXPLICIT STRATEGY-BASED INSTRUCTION ON MOROCCAN EFL UNIVERSITY LEARNERS’ USE OF METACOGNITIVE EVALUATING STRATEGIES (RECALLING AND SUMMARIZING) IN READING ENGLISH (L3) WRITTEN TEXTS
Authors: Msaddek Mohammed
Published: November 2024

This study, derived from one of the major sections of my unpublished doctoral dissertation tackling the correlation between explicit training in cognitive and metacognitive reading strategies (CMRSs) and EFL reading achievement in tertiary education (Defended in 2015), is an endeavor to reveal the perceived effect of metacognitive evaluating strategies (MESs) instruction on Moroccan English Department learners’ strategic reading behavior. Targeting 113 EFL university learners (experimental group: n=63; control group: n=50), the study explores the impact of explicit metacognitive intervention on the learners’ recourse to recalling and summarizing, as metacognitive reading strategies (MRSs) tapped for assessing their understanding of the EFL textual input. To collect the relevant data, explicit reading strategy instruction (ERSI), reading comprehension texts (i.e., narrative, expository), narrative and expository reading tests, and a retrospective questionnaire (RQ) were relied upon. The results evince that, whilst the experimental group (n=63) advanced at the level of both metacognitive evaluating strategies use and text summary-related scores, its counterpart (control group) in the control condition did not reveal any marked increase in the application of the targeted metacognitive evaluating strategies (MESs) and the scores pertinent to text-based summary performance across the pre-post-test stages. Accordingly, a corpus of relevant recommendations and implications are discussed, and a few limitations are set forth.

Authors: Angote Omulama Aston , Onyango Yambo John M. , Sika James Ochieng
Published: November 2024

Teachers’ retention in schools has been necessary because it enhances academic attainment. The gist of this study was to evaluate the effect of teachers' retention on students’ academic achievement in public secondary schools in Kakamega County. The study was guided by Education Production Function Theory (EPFT), Theory of Constraint (TOC) and Social Exchange Theory (SET). The target population was 268 public secondary Schools, 1500 teachers, 268 principals and one (1) County staffing officer. The sample size of 30% of the population was deemed to be adequate. The sampling techniques were simple random sampling, stratified sampling and systematic sampling. Data collection procedures were done with the help of administering questionnaires to respondents, document analysis and interview schedules were the major principal instruments used. The validity of the research instruments was assessed with the help of two research supervisors from Kisii University. The reliability of the index of 0.7 for teachers and 0.89 for principals was obtained using a test-retest approach. Data presentation was done with the help of tables, graphs and pie charts. A mixed research method was used. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23 was used for data analysis. Findings revealed that 38 (9.3%) teachers had left on promotion, 240 (59%) voluntarily and 129 involuntarily (31.7%). The study revealed, therefore, that most teachers (over 66%) either left voluntarily or on promotion. The study recommended that since most teachers either left voluntarily or on promotion, this was their right, while others were retained to ensure stability without interference through uncalled-for transfers, which enhanced students’ academic achievement. The study was undertaken by ensuring that ethical considerations for research were put into perspective, such as informed consent from participants and non-usage of unethical language as a means to obtain data from respondents.

Authors: Naburuki Sophie Jeruto , Kiplagat Nehemiah , Kipchumba Simon
Published: November 2024

This study investigated the influence of strategic direction on the performance of financial technology (FINTECH) firms in Nairobi City County, Kenya. The research was grounded in strategic leadership theory and employed a predictive research design. The target population consisted of 154 senior and middle-level managers from 22 FINTECH firms, with a sample size of 111 respondents determined using the Taro Yamane formula. Data was collected using structured questionnaires, achieving a response rate of 82.88%. Descriptive statistics revealed that firms excel in adapting strategic direction to changing circumstances (M = 4.80, SD = 0.399) and establishing clear strategic direction (M = 4.43, SD = 0.731), but face challenges in setting clear and measurable goals (M = 1.18, SD = 0.390). In the inferential analysis, multiple linear regression revealed that strategic direction has a statistically significant positive influence on FINTECH firm performance (β = 0.890, t = 11.797, p < .05). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.685) indicated that 68.5% of the variance in organizational performance could be explained by the strategic factors studied. The study concludes that effective strategic direction is fundamental to FINTECH firm success in Kenya's dynamic financial technology sector, validating the theoretical frameworks that emphasize strategic leadership's role in organizational performance. The research recommends that FINTECH firms implement comprehensive strategic management frameworks that balance structured goal-setting processes with adaptive capabilities, while regulatory bodies develop supportive policies that encourage strategic innovation while maintaining industry stability. This research contributes to both the theoretical understanding of strategic management in the FINTECH sector and provides practical insights for industry leaders navigating complex market conditions.

Authors: Stylianos Andrakoudis , Karageorgos Christos , Kokaridas Dimitrios
Published: November 2024

Para-karate is an adaptation of karate sport, including regulation changes so as to facilitate the participation of people with disabilities in karate competitions and to promote inclusion in training settings. The purpose of this study was to examine the attitudes of karate coaches toward the inclusion of people with physical disabilities in common training sessions with athletes without disabilities and to record the coaches’ perceived level of self-efficacy. The importance of this study relates to the lack of corresponding researches regarding the attitudes of coaches in this particular sport. The sample consisted of 68 karate Greek coaches, whereas measurement tools used included the Hammond et al. (2014) Questionnaire measuring coaches’ attitudes towards inclusion and the ‘Physical Education Teacher Efficacy’ questionnaire by Biddle and Goudas (1997). Results showed that karate coaches’ perceptions toward inclusion of participants with physical disabilities and self-efficacy were influenced by education level and relative knowledge of adapted physical activity, external influence of significant others and previous coaching experience either with individuals with disabilities or overall experience as coaches, whereas no differences were noted in terms of coaches’ gender, age and local region, in a country that para-karate is still at the stage of early development. Based on the findings, recommendations were made for future researches using a larger sample of karate coaches.

EMOTIONAL AND COGNITIVE INDICATORS IN DRAWINGS OF CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS: A PICTURE ANALYSIS STUDY
Authors: Balcı Murat
Published: November 2024

Pictures contain important clues about how children perceive their own world, their environment and the events they experience, how they position themselves and how they externalize. This externalization event is used as a tool to express sadness, fear, anxiety, worry or the opposite feelings such as peace, happiness, joy, love, belonging, etc., especially in individuals with special needs who cannot or do not want to express themselves verbally. Pictures of individuals with special needs are also considered as an expression of the feelings of individuals with special needs and contain important details about personality development. These pictures written by students with special needs also provide important clues about the mental development and competence of students with special needs. This study was conducted with a total of 25 children with special needs who attend a special education school and whose age range varies between 4 and 12 years. The application with children with special needs, 10 of whom are girls and 15 of whom are boys, and included in this study, covered a period of 20 weeks, and the pictures collected from children with special needs were evaluated with the semiotic analysis method.

Authors:   Faculty of Sport Science, Cenderawasih State University, Hasan Baharuddin , Husein Muhamad ,   Faculty of Sport and Health Center, Yogyakarta State University
Published: November 2024

This study aims to analyze the impact of traditional games on children's cognitive development. In the midst of the rise of digital games, traditional games are often neglected even though they have great potential as an educational tool. Through a systematic review of various relevant studies, this study found that traditional games such as Sundanese Manda, Gobak Sodor, Congklak, and Dakon can provide significant cognitive stimuli for children. The game helps improve children's problem-solving, logic, and social comprehension skills. In addition, traditional games also play a role in strengthening social interaction and cultural values. Although many studies have focused on digital games, the results of this study highlight the importance of integrating traditional games in formal education to maximize children's cognitive development. Therefore, it is recommended that traditional games be recognized and applied more widely in the early childhood education curriculum.

This study examines the impact of a school feeding program on the reading skills of Grade IV pupils. The research hypothesizes that a well-structured and effectively implemented feeding program can enhance pupils' reading performance. Specifically, the study aims to determine how the school feeding program influences the reading performance of Grade IV pupils at San Gabriel Elementary School during the 2022-2023 school year. The study sougth to address several key questions: What is the socio-demographic profile of the pupils (age, sex, parents’ education, family income, and BMI)? What is the impact level of the school feeding program in terms of physical facilities, fund management, paraphernalia, and food preparation? What is the reading performance of the pupils? Is there a significant relationship between the pupils’ socio-demographic profile and the effectiveness of the school feeding program? Lastly, is there a significant relationship between the feeding program’s impact and reading performance? The research employs a descriptive-correlational design and involves 32 Grade IV pupils from San Gabriel Elementary School, selected through purposive sampling. Data collection instruments included a modified pupil profile survey and a school feeding program assessment, with responses measured using a 5-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Biserial Correlation, and Pearson r. Findings reveal that the pupils, all aged 9, consist of an equal number of boys and girls. Most parents had completed high school, and family incomes were typically below 9,000 pesos. Pupils generally had a normal BMI. The school feeding program was found to have an outstanding impact on both nutritional support and reading performance, with a significant correlation between program management and pupils' reading improvement. A significant relationship was also found between the socio-demographic profile and program effectiveness.
Implementation of Education Re-Entry Policy for Adolescent Mothers in Urambo District, Tanzania
Authors:   The Mwalimu Nyerere Memorial Academy, Faculty of Leadership and Management Science, Department of Gender Studies, P.O.Box 9193 Dar es Salaam, Tanzania., Mtoi Edna Harriet
Published: November 2024

In Tanzania, adolescent mothers were pre+viously been prohibited from returning to public secondary schools particularly during the fifth government phase led by the late President John Joseph Pombe Magufuli. However, under his successor President Samia Suluhu Hassan, a new re-entry policy for adolescent mother has been re-introduced. The policy aims to address the challenges faced by adolescent mothers who drop out of school due to pregnancy. Although the policy granted the opportunities for adolescent mothers to continue with their studies after giving birth, its implementation in country is still uncertain. It is against this backdrop that the current study explored the perceptions held by selected educational stakeholders and adolescent mothers to appraise the extent to which the re-entry education policy has thus far been implemented, drawing on a case of the secondary schools sampled from Urambo District, in Tanzania. The study deployed the interpretivist approach and phenomenological research design. Purposive sampling was used to select ten study participants reflecting two counter factual scenarios, namely: adolescent mothers who enrolled through re-entry program after delivery and who did not do so after delivery. The methods of data collection included in-depth interview with adolescent mothers and key informants; and focus grouped discussions with community members. The data were analysed through thematic analysis. The study findings revealed that implementation of the re-entry policy is marked with several challenges on part of the adolescent mothers which include: lack of support from families and schools. More to say, there prevails a stubbornly rigid and unchanging social stigma subjecting the typologies of the mothers into a state of dilemma, making it difficult for them to perform both the expected double roles of a mother and student simultaneously. The study also disclosed a lack of clarity on the re-entry policy guidelines, which has forced some of the re-entry policy implementers to use their own discretions. Additionally, the findings indicated that awareness creation was not sufficient enough to enable adolescent mother especially in remote areas to enrol back to school after pregnancy. The paper recommends that, for successful implementation of the re-entry policy, comprehensive counselling programmes for adolescent mothers and awareness creation among the educational stakeholders and community members are inevitable.

This study aims to analyze the effect of employee empowerment on employee productivity by considering the mediating role of organizational commitment. Employee empowerment is widely acknowledged as a crucial approach that enhances employee motivation, engagement, and performance. In addition, organizational commitment also contributes significantly to enhanced efficiency. This research was conducted at Fitness Plus Denpasar City using quantitative methods and involving 60 respondents through the census technique. Data was gathered through a survey and evaluated using the PLS technique. The results showed that employee empowerment has a notable and beneficial impact on the dedication and productivity of employees. However, organizational commitment has no significant effect on employee performance and does not act as a go-between when it comes to the correlation between empowering workers and their productivity. These results indicate that employee performance improvement occurs directly through employee empowerment without the mediating role of organizational commitment. This research provides important implications for organizational management to focus more on employee empowerment strategies to improve performance without relying too much on organizational commitment as a mediating factor. Future research is recommended to expand the scope of variables and use a longitudinal approach to dig deeper into the long-term effects of employee empowerment.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: Judging from the cases of indigenous peoples disputes, the efforts of the Indonesian state to speed up the ratification of ILO convention 169 will minimize the occurrence of cases that occur in indigenous peoples because there is protection for the indigenous peoples themselves. This situation prompted the development and adoption of ILO Convention 169, which aims to protect indigenous peoples and their rights.Purposes of the Research: This writing aims to examine and find out about ILO Convention 169 which regulates legal protection for indigenous peoples and why it is important for ILO Convention 169 to be ratified as a form of legal protection for indigenous peoples.Methods of the Research: The type of research used in this paper is normative legal research. As for answering the problems in this study, the authors use three approaches to the problem, namely the statutory approach (statute approach), and conceptual approach (conceptual approach). The procedure for collecting legal materials carried out by the author is by searching for and collecting laws and regulations related to the legal issues at hand. Legislation in this case includes both legislation and regulation. Analysis of legal material uses qualitative methods, namely studies related to legal norms contained in international law legislation and legal norms that exist in society.Results of the Research: The results of this study indicate that the ILO Convention 169 which regulates the legal protection of indigenous peoples, to ensure the implementation of the contents of this Convention, the responsibility lies in the hands of the government (ILO member ratifying ILO Convention No.169) to develop, coordinate and take systematic action in order protect the rights of Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Peoples, and ensure recognition of their integrity. ILO Convention 169 is important to ratify as a form of legal protection for indigenous peoples and to strengthen the legal rights of Indigenous Peoples who mostly live in forest areas, the human rights of minorities are very difficult to be able to enjoy their rights on their own land.
