ENHANCING MINING COMMUNITY SERVICES THROUGH CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
Authors: LICCUD-AMBEGUIA FLORENCE H.
Published: November 2023

The Philippine Mining Act of 1995 mandated mining companies to contribute to the development of host and neighboring communities through Social Development Management Programs (SDMP). The subsequent CSR Act of 2011 and 2013 further institutionalized Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) nationwide. This research examines the implementation of CSR and SDMP by two mining companies in Benguet, Lepanto Consolidated Mining Company and Philex Mining Corporation. It explores the strategies employed, their effectiveness, challenges encountered, and their association with project implementation. Data was collected through questionnaires and interviews, supported by primary and secondary sources. Findings show that programs related to education, livelihood, and infrastructure development were more extensively and effectively implemented, with integrated planning and a mix of top-down and bottom-up strategies contributing to success. The impact on host communities was particularly positive in social and economic aspects, with minimal effects on technological, political, and environmental aspects. Challenges ranged from resource limitations to community ambivalence, natural events, and legal complications. The study concludes that a dual standard exists due to the prioritization of mandatory SDMP programs over non-mandatory CSR initiatives, despite communities perceiving them as nearly identical. Recommendations include making CSR mandatory and complementary to SDMP, enhancing monitoring, and securing support from local governments and NGOs. Strategic implementation and effective strategies are crucial for realizing responsible mining in Benguet.

Authors: Kadzo Mwangura , Muthimi Dr. Janet
Published: November 2023

This research paper sought to find out how leadership styles affect strategy implementation in State Law Offices. The study’s specific objectives are to determine the effect of autocratic, participative, transactional and transformational styles of leadership on strategy implementation at Kenyan State Law Offices. The theoretical anchors of the study were; the behavioural theory of leadership, the resource-based view theory along with the strategic leadership theory. To meet the study’s objectives, there was the use of descriptive research design. The target population of the study was 415 senior staff drawn from 4 State Law Offices in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu and Nakuru. Stratified random sampling was used according to the cadre of staff. The study used primary data, which was collected by open and closed-ended questions as captured in the questionnaire, the main primary data collection tool. Data collection was set in after authorization by Kenyatta University Graduate School and the Management of the State Law Office. A pilot study was done in the Nairobi office in order to determine the validity along with the reliability of the research instrument. Content validity and construct validity was used to examine the relevance of the tool in retrieving the required information. The tools reliability were assessed by applying the Cronbach alpha where a score of above >0.7 underlined the questionnaires reliability. Further, after the cleaning and coding process, the collected data was then analysed using SPSS and the output presented in tables, figures and charts. In the research on autocratic leadership’s impact on strategy implementation, it was found that many respondents preferred top-down decision making to enhance accountability, while fewer supported the importance of rules and regulations and the use of coercive techniques in challenging situations. In the research on participative leadership, it was found that most leaders support group decision making and see it as an opportunity for mentoring. The key recommendation was that organizations should stick to top-down approach of leadership in enhancing accountability. Another key recommendation was that leaders should promote a culture of group decision making.

Published: November 2023

The study examined whether a significant relationship exists between firm attributes and corporate social responsibility disclosure of listed industrial goods in Nigeria. To achieve the objectives of the study, the corporate annual reports for the periods 2013-2022 were utilised as the main source of secondary data. In testing the research hypotheses, the study adopted the use of the panel least square regression method to analyse the data collected from the annual reports of the listed industrial goods in Nigeria. The study also made use of a correlational research design for testing the expected relationship between the variables of firm attributes and corporate social responsibility disclosure. The findings revealed an insignificant positive relationship between stakeholder power, media exposure, foreign ownership, and corporate social responsibility disclosure. The study, therefore recommended that the Nigerian industrial goods companies should increase their stakeholder power, media visibility, and foreign ownership in order to increase the level of corporate social responsibility disclosure.

This paper reports on a survey carried out to investigate the beliefs of teachers about grammar instruction in the EFL classroom at the tertiary level. English is a compulsory component of the syllabus at the undergraduate level across all disciplines in Bangladesh. Grammar instruction is an integral part of English language teaching at all academic levels. This study was undertaken to assess the beliefs of tertiary level teachers regarding the effectiveness of grammar instruction. The research was carried out at three private universities in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Participants of the study were teachers who were teaching English as a foreign language at the undergraduate level. The questionnaire was administered both in-person and online due to the pandemic restrictions. Attempt was made to find out the beliefs English language teachers have about the pedagogical procedures related to focus on form, specifically explicit grammar instruction. Data was analyzed quantitatively using percentages. The findings indicate that teachers believe grammar instruction is important for language learning, however there are varying opinions on the best way to teach grammar. Some teachers believe that grammar should be taught through explicit instruction, while others believe that it should be taught implicitly through discovery and practice using real-life simulations.

A vigorexia é cientificamente conhecida como um transtorno dismórfico muscular. Esse transtorno se caracteriza por pessoas que são suficientemente fortes e musculosas, mas se vêem magros e fracos e buscam a qualquer custo o corpo perfeito. Objetivo: Verificar a prevalência da vigorexia em adultos jovens do sexo masculino frequentadores de academias e fisiculturistas. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo de revisão bibliográfica do tipo integrativa, que foi desenvolvido por meio de buscas, nas bases de dados: Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO) e Pubmed, publicados por meio de artigos científicos utilizando de forma isolada ou conjugada os seguintes descritores: imagem corporal, fisiculturistas, vigorexia, complexo de Adônis, dismorfia muscular, jovens, musculação, treinamento resistido e de força, produzidos no Brasil nos últimos 10 anos. Resultados: De um total de 55 publicações analisadas, 08 artigos atenderam à finalidade do estudo proposto. Os resultados sugerem prevalência de vigorexia tanto nos fisiculturistas quanto nos frequentadores de academias, sendo essa correlação prevalente em fisiculturistas isso é consequencia da cobrança social pela estética corporal e devido à exigência da modalidade que institui um padrão de corpo extremista, para que sua permanência como atleta desta modalidade seja mantida. Considerações: o corpo masculino tem sido bastante explorado pela mídia, entretanto, é essencial deixar claro que a tais padrões não devem ser parâmetros para avaliar a autoestima.

Partant de l’expérience de l’opposition clandestine de gauche au Sénégal, cet article examine la répression politique menée par un État sénégalais autoritaire, construit lors des premières années post-indépendance (1960-1966) puis consolidé comme État-parti au cours des « années 1968 » (1966-1976). Il s’intéresse à plusieurs fragments de l’histoire politique du pays : la dissolution du Parti africain de l’indépendance (1960) ; la rupture entre Léopold Sédar Senghor et Mamadou Dia (1962) ; la répression des manifestations postélectorales du 1er décembre 1963 puis de la mobilisation de « Mai 68 » ; les condamnations du groupe des « incendiaires » (1971) ; la controversée affaire Omar Blondin Diop (1973) ; et enfin les arrestations de militants d’And Jëf (1975). Ces évènements nous servent ainsi d’illustration des méthodes employées par l’État pour réprimer son opposition : intimidation, déguerpissement, arrestation, internement, expulsion, conscription, torture physique et mort en détention.
Comparison between biofeedback Acapella and biofeedback flutter devices in COPD: A new way to improve airway clearance
Authors: Dhanraj Menezes Aneesha , Rekha K. , Sanjeev Rai B.
Published: November 2023

Introduction and Aim: In recent years, biofeedback systems have been integrated into a variety of devices. Biofeedback system is the process of gaining awareness of one's physiological functions by an apparatus which provides participants feedback of their performance. Respiratory training with a biofeedback system provides the correct breathing pattern, reduces respiratory rate and tension, enhances respiratory function, improves gaseous exchange, improves ventilation and perfusion mismatch. Therefore, it reduces sympathetic nervous system activity by clearing secretions. As clearing the mucous from the airways is the initial stage of respiratory rehabilitation, this study sought to implement a biofeedback system in an Acapella and flutter device and compared the effectiveness of both the positive expiratory pressure (PEP) devices (Acapella and Flutter) with biofeedback on lung functions in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients.

 

Materials and Methods: 30 patients were assigned randomly to the acapella group or the flutter group with 15 patients in each group. The Acapella biofeedback group used the Biofeedback Acapella device for 15-20 minutes per day for five days, while the Flutter biofeedback group used the Biofeedback Flutter device simultaneously.

 

Results: The biofeedback acapella group and the biofeedback flutter group showed significantly higher increases in forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and oxygen saturation (SpO2). There was no significant difference between the groups. In addition, there was a significant difference in sputum weight, within both the groups reducing significant amounts of sputum and improving symptoms.

 

Conclusion: These results suggest that both Biofeedback Acapella device and the Biofeedback Flutter device help in improving lung function and oxygen saturation in COPD patients. Further scientific studies are needed to be performed to confirm the results and to determine the optimal durations and frequencies used in these devices. We also recommend further improvement and development of airway clearance devices.

Bridging work experience with academic qualifications to improve employability of business studies graduates in Gauteng
Authors:   , Nkomo Vuyokazi
Published: November 2023

Unemployment is one of South Africa's biggest challenges. The unemployment rate for graduates and others with university degrees currently exceeds 30 percent. Lack of work experience is cited as one of the main reasons for unemployment. Despite the relevance of work experience, there is insufficient evidence in the literature that it is used as the main criterion for recruitment. Previous research has shown that recruiters make recruiting recommendations based on applicants' work experience, overlooking other factors. This thesis examines the association between employment experience and graduate employability. A quantitative approach was utilised, aided by a questionnaire to collect data from a sample of 265 business graduates from the Gauteng province. The questionnaire yielded 124 responses. The data were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling. The main results showed that work experience had a positive, but statistically insignificant, impact on graduates' employability. These results suggest that work experience alone is not sufficient to make graduates employable. There are other aspects and skill sets such as behavioural skills, technical skills, strategic skills, and functional skills, which have a significant impact on graduate employability. Key stakeholders in higher education and labour markets should form meaningful partnerships in which they identify and prioritise the employability skills needed to seamlessly transition graduates into the industry. It is recommended that all students should be required to complete a workbased learning course or a structured internship as part of their studies, with students being required to work in the industry for a while before employment. In this way, they would be prepared to integrate into the industry after graduation, having already gained experience during work-based learning. A further recommendation is that employer involvement in course design and delivery could have a positive impact on graduate employability.

Authors: Barasa Tony Khaoya , Nabiswa Ferdinand , Pepela Maurice
Published: November 2023

The prevalence of fire disasters has become a global phenomenon, especially in public and private premises, particularly secondary schools and other learning institutions. Social decadence has been touted as one of the reasons for rebelliousness among secondary school students, which has in many cases led to the torching of schools. Whereas schools are expected to promote and enhance discipline and moral behaviors, in most instances, schools within Bungoma have experienced forms of deviant behavior that have resulted in fire disasters. Therefore, this study sought to examine the nature and extent of deviant behavior among public secondary schools in Bungoma County, Kenya. The study utilized Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory. The study adopted a descriptive research design, and a sample of 384 was used. Proportionate and simple random sampling was used. The study found that there was high cases of deviant behaviors among students, led by theft of property (95.6%), followed by drug and substance use (64.8%). The study further found that peer pressure (83.3%) and drug and substance abuse (53.6%) were the main factors leading students to burn schools. The findings of the study revealed that 363 (95.6%) of respondents agreed that there are many theft cases among students and their fellow colleagues. The study concludes that most students abuse bhang, followed by chang'aa, and lastly, busaa. In regards to the effects of riots, the study concludes that riots mostly take the form of destruction of properties, followed by theft cases. In regards to types of theft cases, the study concludes that students have experienced theft of text books due to poverty and parenthood. Also, students steal these items mostly to sell them and get money. The school administration should enhance security measures through the installation of CCTVs and improved fencing to reduce the chances of sneaking out and drugs getting in. Students should be forced to pay for the damages caused during their riots. The governments should ensure schools have adequate and trained counselors in order to help in taming deviant behaviors such as drug and substance abuse, bullying, and theft. The school administration should have open communication with the students in order to avert riots and school fires.

O Direito Brasileiro tem feito uso de ferramentas tecnológicas a fim de melhorar a prestação jurídica e processual dos seus casos. Além disso, há ainda o uso da tecnologia no próprio escopo do trabalho dos operadores do Direito, dentre os quais se destacam a prova digital. Uma prova digital se refere a qualquer tipo de evidência ou informação que existe no formato eletrônico ou digital. Diante desse cenário, o presente estudo teve o objetivo de discorrer sobre o impacto que as provas digitais possuem na área trabalhistas. Buscou-se com essa temática, analisar de forma mais ampla, quais foram as mudanças positivas (ou não) que impactaram os operadores do Direito com o uso de provas digitais nos processos trabalhistas no Brasil. Na metodologia, tratou-se de uma revisão bibliográfica, baseada em estudos científicos selecionados e jurisprudência, cujo recorte temporal se deu entre 2018 a 2023 encontrados em base de dados tais como Scielo e Google Acadêmico. Nos resultados, a utilização de prova digital no Processo do Trabalho traz muitos pontos positivos, em especial, por se tratar de provas concretas e poderosas, baseadas em elementos técnicos e materiais mais confiáveis que as provas testemunhais. Apresenta, ainda, maior, proximidade com a verdade real no caso concreto, o que torna o resultado do processo mais justo para ambas as partes.
Coupled large eddy simulations of land surface heterogeneity effects and diurnal evolution of late summer and early autumn atmospheric boundary layers during the CHEESEHEAD19 field campaign
Authors: Paleri Sreenath , Wanner Luise , Sühring Matthias , Desai Ankur , Mauder Matthias
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Observational studies and large eddy simulations (LES) have reported secondary circulations in the turbulent atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). These circulations form as coherent turbulent structures or mesoscale circulations induced by gradients of land surface properties. However, simulations have been limited in their ability to represent these events and their diurnal evolution over realistic and heterogeneous land surfaces. In this study, we present a LES framework combining the high-resolution observational data collected as part of the CHEESEHEAD19 field campaign to overcome this gap and test how heterogeneity influences the ABL response. We simulated diurnal cycles for four days chosen from late summer to early autumn over a large (49 x 52 km) heterogeneous domain. To investigate surface atmospheric feedbacks such as self-reinforcement of mesoscale circulations over the heterogeneous domain, the simulations were forced with an interactive land surface model with coupled soil, radiative transfer and plant canopy model. The lateral and model top boundary conditions were prepared from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) meteorological analysis fields. Comparing the simulated profile and near surface data with field measured radiosonde and eddy covariance station data showed a realistic evolution of the near-surface meteorological fields, heat and moisture fluxes and the ABL. The LES had limitations in simulating the night-time cooling in the nocturnal boundary layer. The simulated fields were strongly modulated by the imposed HRRR derived mesoscale boundary conditions, resulting in a slightly warmer and drier ABL. The simulations were run without clouds which resulted in higher daytime sensible heat fluxes for some scenarios. Our findings demonstrate the capability of the PALM model system to realistically represent the daytime evolution of the ABL response over unstructured heterogeneity and the limitations involved therein with respect to the role of boundary conditions and the representation of the nocturnal boundary layer. The simulation setup and dataset described in this manuscript build the baseline to tackle specific research questions associated with the CHEESEHEAD19 campaign, particularly to address questions about the role of heterogeneous ecosystems in modulating surface-atmosphere fluxes and near surface meteorological fields as well as highlight the needed improvements in model representations of land-atmosphere feedbacks over vegetated environments.

Abstract. Chloride (Cl-) displacement from sea salt particles is an extensively studied phenomenon with implications on human health, visibility, and the global radiation budget. Past works have investigated Cl- depletion over the northwest Atlantic (NWA), yet an updated, multiseasonal, and geographically expanded account of sea salt reactivity over the region is needed. This study uses chemically resolved mass concentrations and meteorological data from the airborne Aerosol Cloud meTeorology Interactions oVer the western ATlantic Experiment (ACTIVATE) to quantify seasonal, spatial, and meteorological trends in Cl- depletion and to explore the importance of quantifying (1) non-sea salt sources of Na+ and (2) mass concentrations of lost Cl- instead of relative amounts displaced. Lost Cl- mass concentrations are lowest in December–February and March, moderate around Bermuda in June, and highest in May (median losses of 0.04, 0.04, 0.66, and 1.76 µg m-3, respectively), with losses in May high enough to potentially accelerate tropospheric oxidation rates. Inorganic acidic species can account for all Cl- depletion in December–February, March, and June near Bermuda, yet none of the lost Cl- in May, suggesting organic acids may be of importance for Cl- displacement in certain months. Contributions of dust to Na+ are not important seasonally but may cause relevant overestimates of lost Cl- in smoke and dust plumes. Higher percentages of Cl- depletion often do not correspond to larger mass concentrations of lost Cl-, so it is highly recommended to quantify the latter to place depletion reactions in context with their role in atmospheric oxidation and radiative forcing.

Abstract. As the major global CO2 sink, the oceanic buffering capacity total alkalinity (TA) is of growing scientific interest. TA is mainly generated by weathering, and further by various anaerobic metabolic processes. The Wadden Sea, located in the southern North Sea is thought to be a source of TA for the carbonate system of the North Sea, but quantifications are scarce. Here, we observed TA, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), and nutrients in the Dutch Wadden Sea in May 2019. We sampled transect surface waters to detect spatial distributions and compared it with earlier data. A tidal cycle was sampled to further shed light on TA generation and potential TA sources. We identified the Wadden Sea as a source of TA with an average TA generation of 7.6 µmol kg-1 h-1 during ebb tide in the Ameland Inlet. TA was generated in the sediments and washed out with off running water. A combination of anaerobic processes and CaCO3 dissolution were potential sources of TA in the sediments. We assume that seasonality and the associated nitrate availability in particular influence TA generation by denitrification, which we assume is low in spring and summer.
Basal conditions of Denman Glacier from glacier hydrology and ice dynamics modeling

Abstract. Basal sliding in Antarctic glaciers is often modeled using a friction law that relates basal shear stresses to the effective pressure. As few ice sheet models are dynamically coupled to subglacial hydrology models, variability in subglacial hydrology associated with the effective pressure is often implicitly captured in the basal friction coefficient – an unknown parameter in the basal friction law. We investigate the impact of using effective pressures calculated from the Glacier Drainage System (GlaDS) model on basal friction coefficients calculated using inverse methods in the Ice-sheet and Sea-level System Model (ISSM) at Denman Glacier, East Antarctica, for the Schoof and Budd friction laws. For the Schoof friction law, a positive correlation emerges between the GlaDS effective pressure and basal friction coefficient in regions of fast ice flow. Using GlaDS effective pressures generally leads to smoother basal friction coefficients and basal shear stresses, and larger differences between the simulated and observed ice surface velocities compared with using an effective pressure equal to the ice overburden pressure plus the gravitational potential energy of the water. Compared with the Budd friction law, the Schoof friction law offers improved capabilities in capturing the spatial variations associated with known physics of the subglacial hydrology. Our results indicate that ice sheet model representation of basal sliding is more realistic when using direct outputs from a subglacial hydrology model, demonstrating the importance of coupling between ice sheet and subglacial hydrological systems. However, using our outputs we have also developed an empirical parameterization of effective pressure that improves the application of the Schoof friction law without requiring explicit hydrological modeling.

Abstract. Supraglacial rivers and lakes are important for the routing and storage of surface meltwater during the summer melt season across the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) but remain poorly mapped and quantified across the northern part of the ice sheet, which is rapidly losing mass. Here we produce, for the first time, a high-resolution record of the supraglacial drainage network (including both rivers and lakes) and its seasonal behaviour at Humboldt Glacier, a wide-outlet glacier draining a large melt-prone hydrologic catchment (13 488 km2), spanning the period 2016 to 2020 using 10 m spatial resolution Sentinel-2 imagery. Our results reveal a perennially extensive yet interannually variable supraglacial network extending from an elevation of 200 m a.s.l. to a maximum of ∼ 1440 m a.s.l. recorded in 2020, with limited development of the network observed in the low-melt years of 2017 and 2018. The supraglacial drainage network is shown to cover an area ranging between 966 km2 (2018) and 1566 km2 (2019) at its maximum seasonal extent, with spatial coverage of up to 2685 km2 recorded during the early phases of the melt season when a slush zone is most prominent. Up-glacier expansion and the development of an efficient supraglacial drainage network as surface runoff increases and the snowline retreats is clearly visible. Preconditioning of the ice surface following a high-melt year is also observed, with an extreme and long-lasting 2019 melt season and over-winter persistence of liquid lakes, followed by low snow accumulation the following spring, culminating in earlier widespread exposure of the supraglacial drainage network in 2020 compared to other years. This preconditioning is predicted to become more common with persistent warmer years into the future. Overall, this study provides evidence of a persistent, yet dynamic, supraglacial drainage network at this prominent northern GrIS outlet glacier and advances our understanding of such hydrologic processes, particularly under ongoing climatic warming and enhanced runoff.
Practical Feasibility of Narrative Exposure Therapy in Syrian Refugee Population Residing in Turkiye: A Focus Group Study
Authors: Aysazci-Cakar Fatma
Published: November 2023

It has been reported that 3.6 million Syrian refugees have sought safety in Turkiye since the civil war started in Syria. Experiencing war-related events and challenging phases of migration, refugees face various psychological disorders. Structured and adapted psychological interventions for this group are limited. To ensure the feasibility of Narrative Exposure Therapy in this context, this study aimed to explore the potential challenges during its delivery through a preliminary Focus Group with local professionals working with Syrians in Turkiye. Content analysis was used and the results led to eligibility criteria to select suitable participants for a subsequent study. These criteria include being between the ages of 20-45, fluent in Turkish and literate, having economic relief, and residing in the western region of Turkiye. This preliminary study serves as a roadmap for addressing potential obstacles for the subsequent study and a foundation for future research in this population.
