Published: October 2023

The current paper focusses on the teachers’ attitude towards and experiences with e-learning tools at two universities in different phases of e-learning implementation. The study population comprises teachers at university level and a simple random sampling method was used. A total of 45 teachers in bachelor programmes from the Faculty of Agriculture of Kabul University (KU) in Afghanistan filled out the survey. For this study, secondary data on Wageningen University and Research (WUR) in the Netherlands was also used from a survey which was recently conducted by Banihashem et al., (2023) in which 307 teachers participated. Data were analysed through descriptive statistics and the two settings were compared in general terms. The results showed that the majority of the respondents at KU and WUR had a favourable attitude towards e-learning tools and that this attitude is an important enabling or disabling factor in the adoption of technology. The findings also indicated respondents’ access and facilities, e.g., at KU for interaction with students mainly among teachers HELMS during COVID-19 and for assessment, individual assignments and quizzes were used. Meanwhile, at WUR and mainly among teachers, for interactive purposes Brightspace assignments (and, for assessment, group assignments), Brightspace grades, individual assignments and rubrics were used. Consequently, this research paper will add to the existing knowledge in this area, potentially having a positive influence on the educational sector, because doing so could help the educational system to improve and to better consider the aspects which influence the attitude of teachers that leads to applying a technology. In addition, we recommend more e-learning research studies in Afghanistan in order to find a solution for educating women in Afghanistan.

Effect of Anodic Polarization and Sliding Wear on Pitting Corrosion Behavior of Shipbuilding Aluminum Alloy 5083
Authors: ALKAN Sabri
Published: October 2023

This study aimed to characterize the pitting corrosion and simultaneous wear-corrosion (tribocorrosion) mechanisms of shipbuilding aluminum alloy 5083 under sliding wear and different anodic polarization conditions in simulated seawater. A tribocorrosion experimental setup was provided for the study under a 3 N load and different anodic potentials in a 3.5% NaCl solution. In the study, many grooves, parallel scratches and transverse cracks were determined on the wear track surface due to the low hardness of the test material. Chloride ions played a decisive role in the corrosion and tribocorrosion behavior of AA 5083. The dissolution of AA5083 increased from open circuit potential to higher anodic potentials. A half-cube mechanism, similar to the pitting corrosion of pure aluminum, and an intergranular pitting corrosion mechanism were observed under high anodic potentials.

Authors: Oppong Samuel , Nugba Regina Mawusi , Asamoah Eugene , Quansah Nathaniel , Ankoma-Sey Vera Rosemary
Published: October 2023

Teachers' confidence in classroom activities has been a major concern for educators and major stakeholders in Ghana. However, the literature suggests that showing higher confidence in classroom practices positively impact students learning outcome. The specific purposes of the study were to determine whether teachers are confident in (1) monitoring, analysing, and communicating assessment results and (2) assessment, design, implementation, and feedback. The study also sought to find out whether gender plays a role in teachers’ confidence in classroom assessment practices. A descriptive research design was adopted for the conduct of the study. The population for this study comprised all public basic schools in the Upper Denkyira West District. The purposive Sampling technique was used to select 137 out of 187 Lower Primary School Teachers (Basic 1-3). A standardised inventory called “Classroom Assessment Inventory” developed and validated by Christopher DeLuca, Danielle LaPointe-McEwan, and Ulemu Luhangain in 2016 was adopted for this study. It was found that primary school teachers were generally more optimistic about their ability to put the various classroom assessments into practice in the classroom. Overall, the study found that teachers have a higher level of confidence in their assessment practices in the classroom. It was also revealed that there is no statistically significant difference between confidence in classroom assessment and the gender of teachers. It was recommended that Ghana Education Service through District Directors of Education should organize in-service training and workshops for all teachers to partake in irrespective of their gender.

METAPHORICAL INSIGHTS: PHRASAL VERB KNOWLEDGE GAINS IN THE LIGHT OF CONCEPTUAL METAPHOR THEORY
Authors: Kalay Dilsah , Keçik İlknur
Published: October 2023

The primary objective of this research is twofold: first, to elucidate the explicit teaching of phrasal verb constructions within the framework of conceptual metaphor theory, with a specific focus on the metaphorical aspects of particle usage, and second, to examine the correlation between such explicit instruction in phrasal verbs and the gains in implicit knowledge of these verb forms. This study employed a within-group pretest/posttest design as part of an experimental investigation involving 60 Turkish English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners who were students at the School of Foreign Languages (SFL) at a state university in Turkey. The research was analyzed across three dimensions: the achievement and retention of both receptive and productive knowledge of phrasal verbs, subconscious recognition and processing of lexical items, and the processing of phrasal verb meanings in a semantic context. To assess the first dimension, a multiple-choice test to gauge the students' receptive understanding of phrasal verbs and a c-test to measure their controlled productive knowledge of these verb forms were administered at three points: the initial pretest, an immediate posttest, and a delayed posttest. A masked repetition priming lexical decision task was utilized to investigate the subconscious recognition and processing of lexical items. Additionally, a self-paced task was employed to scrutinize the participants' semantic processing of phrasal verb meanings. The study's findings revealed that the explicit presentation of phrasal verb knowledge within the conceptual metaphor framework significantly impacts not only the acquisition and retention of receptive and productive knowledge but also the subconscious recognition and processing of lexical items, as well as the semantic priming of phrasal verb meanings, which substantiates the influential role of conceptual metaphors in the lexical aspects of language learning.

THE VISION OF RICH DEATH IN JOHN KEATS’S “ODE TO A NIGHTINGALE”: AN AUROBINDONEAN PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Kumar Nikhil
Published: October 2023

John Keats’s vision of rich death while listening to the melodious voice of Nightingale, the manifestation of the Immortal on the earth, takes one beyond the plane of corporeality of the terrestrial existence. One comes to the plane of death-birth continuum, and, consequently, discovers a supra-earthly, nay, spiritual truth, the plane which earlier comes into the vision of the ancient Rishis of India. The richness of death which comes into the vision of Keats is revealed when we explore death in the light of the yogic discovery of Sri Aurobindo, a literary luminary of the 19th-20th century of India of, what he calls, ‘Psychic Being’, a flame of the Divine Self in the being of man. Sri Aurobindo discovers that the psychic being is instrumental in the evolution of consciousness to its spiritual and supramental planes in the death-birth phenomenon as it gathers the spiritual experiences of man’s life and, accordingly, lays foundation of his higher spiritual life to come in his next birth. Being immortal, it carries the foundation in the next birth of man. He also discovers that the foundation is laid at the time of the physical death of man. Such death, therefore, comes to be rich.

Authors: Mwangi Monicah Wanjiru , Maina Sheilah Nangena
Published: October 2023

Background: Dry eye is a serious problem affecting up to 20% of the world’s population. Mondia whitei’s rich androgenic properties create an interest in research focused on its efficacy as an alternative and complementary therapy for the treatment and control of the symptoms of dry eye-related diseases associated with androgen deficiency. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of M. whitei on the quality and quantity of tears in rabbit eyes. Setting: This study was carried out at the animal house at Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology, Kakamega, Kenya. Materials and methods: The study adopted an experimental study design with 16 New Zealand rabbits. A simple random sampling technique was used to place the rabbits into 4 groups, each group with 4 rabbits. They were tested for tear function to establish a baseline before administration of Benzalkonium Chloride (BAC) (to induce dry eye) and M. whitei extract. Schirmer’s test and fluorescein staining were conducted to observe the tear quantity and quality over a period of 6 days after treatment. The data collected was then cleaned and analyzed. Results: The researchers found that the average mean during baseline tear quantity measurement for the groups was 26.5mm, during instilling of BAC the mean dropped to 24.0mm and when M. whitei was administered the mean rose to 27.94mm, indicating that M. whitei greatly improved tear quantity. During baseline tear quality assessment, the average mean for the groups was 0.00 which dropped to 0.94 showing mild staining and when M. whitei was administered dropped further to 1.67 indicating that M. whitei did not improve the tear quality. Conclusion and Recommendations: The researchers recommended that more research be done on M. whitei with fewer limitations such as time, to ascertain its effectiveness on tear quality and quantity.

From Conflict to Peace? Stateness Assessment of the South Caucasus countries at the crossroads of political processes from 2017 to 2022
Authors: Manukyan Violetta
Published: October 2023

The article reflects on the sustainability and security perspectives of the South Caucasus region. While discovering the different approaches to the notion of “stateness” and its assessment methodologies, the article brings up the problems of insufficient clarification of the concept, the need for further work on its conceptual and functional formulations. As the assessment also covers the non-recognized states, the peculiarities, difficulties and possibilities of stateness assessment of non-recognized states are revealed. The article proposes a definition of stateness and an integral model for stateness assessment, which would make it possible to carry out the stateness assessment of both recognized and non-recognized states within the framework of one model. With the help of the developed ‘Peace Index’, the article comprehensively assesses the levels of stateness of the three recognized: Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan; and the three non-recognized states of the South Caucasus: Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia and South Ossetia through all four fields of stateness – political, economic, social and security for the years of 2017 to 2022. On the basis of the carried-out assessment, the article articulates policy recommendations for the South Caucasus countries and the region as a whole - guiding how to handle the current delicate situation in this strategically and geopolitically important region.  The article suggests a) an immediate regional integration, b) economic cooperation as a key for conflict resolution, c) change of peace mediation format, d) support to the reconsideration of government-civil society relations format, making the civil societies of the South Caucasus states the inner constant peace-demanders and development-forcers - as the package-wise steps to transfer the South Caucasus region from conflict to peace.

Published: October 2023

The relationship between economic growth and the growth rate of tax revenues on goods and services, tax revenue on income, profit, and capital gain, and tax revenue on international trade and transaction was analyzed using a VAR model. All variables in this study were found to be integrated of order one, therefore the model was run using first differences. The lag length of the model was determined to be optimal at lag-two based on the information criterion. The estimated results of the model successfully passed all diagnostic tests, including tests for residual normality, serial correlation, and heteroscedasticity. Since all the inverse roots of the AR characteristic polynomial were within the unit circle, the model was deemed stable. The empirical findings from the VAR model indicated that the growth rate of tax revenue on income, profit, and capital had the most significant impact on economic growth, ranging from 2.3505% to 2.7155%. This was followed by tax revenue on goods and services, ranging from 0.5776% to 0.5954%, and tax revenue on international trade and transaction, ranging from 0.2747% to 0.5930%. Furthermore, the response of the growth rate of all tax revenues to changes in the economic growth rate exhibited a cyclical pattern around its mean.

Published: October 2023

The main objective of this study is to find out and examine the determinants of banks’ profitability in Haiti. The sample is a data set of the eight banks operating in Haiti for the period 2017 to 2021. The results prove that, among the independent variables that impact banks profitability in Haiti significantly and positively, Equity-tototal assets (EA ratio), which is used to proxy capital adequacy in this study, is the strongest. In addition, diversification is the second most influential independent variable in terms of positive effect. Average yield on loans does not show any significant impact on ROA and ROE. In contrast, the efficiency ratio, which is used to proxy management efficiency, has a significant negative effect on banks’ profitability in Haiti. Likewise, Nonperforming loans (NPL), which is the measure of asset quality, and Liquid Assets -to-Deposit (LAD), a proxy for liquidity, show a negative influence on banks’ profitability. The macroeconomic variables do not have any effect on banks’ profitability in Haiti. The private banks are more profitable than the public one. And there are significant differences between those two groups.

Christians generally understand mission as an attempt to preach the gospel to people who do not yet believe in Jesus. If someone has accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, then the mission to that person is considered complete. With this understanding, some Christians then possibly misrepresent Christianity, they are trapped by religious worship traditions and put aside the essence of self as the “image” and “likeness” of God. Using a qualitative descriptive method this study raises facts in the lives of Christians In Jakarta, Indonesia. Through this study’s results, Christians are expected to understand their essence as followers of Jesus. Changing the paradigm of Christianity and salvation is very important for transforming every Christian’s mission definition.

This research examines the role of financial development and regional integration to attain inclusive growth in selected BRI countries from 2000 to 2020. Existing studies for BRI focused on economic growth, infrastructure development and environmental sustainability. A few studies indicated pro-poor growth, but no empirical study was found regarding inclusive growth. Economic growth is inclusive in a sense to promote employment level, reduction in poverty and inequality along with increased accessibility and social security. To incorporate these factors, this study calculates a detailed inclusive growth index incorporating its four dimensions using principal component analysis (PCA) and applies Pooled OLS and two stages least squares (2SLS) to overcome the endogeneity problem. The results shows that FD, TO and FDI are significant in explaining inclusive growth in selected countries. Moreover, four pillars of inclusive growth are individually analyzed to attain clearer results. These findings indicate that regional integration along with FD, TO and FDI increases economic growth with employment level, reduces poverty and inequality and increases accessibility with social protection. Therefore, the study recommends that outward FDI flow from China towards BRI emerging countries is crucial for employment generation with reduced poverty and inequality and improves accessibility and social security. Domestically, Host countries must stabilize their economies politically, socially, and culturally to attain maximum gain from this FDI inflow for sustainability.

Az idősek egy része aktívan öregszik, egyfajta társadalmi erőforrásként részese a gazdasági működésnek, aktív a civil szerveződésekben, és részese az unokák nevelésének. A 2009-ben elfogadott Idősügyi Nemzeti Stratégia, de különböző EU-s és nemzetközi szervezetek (ILO, OECD) által lefektetett alapelvek, programok is hangsúlyozzák a sikeres, vagy aktív öregedés fontosságát. Ezek a programok az idősekre társadalmi erőforrásként tekintenek. Az idősek csoportja ugyanakkor nem homogén, hiszen egészségi, szociális szempontból jelentős eltérések is mutatkoznak. Az idősek otthonában többségében olyan idős emberek vannak, akiknek az idősödése nem olyan sikeres, amilyet ezek a programok felvázolnak. Elég, ha a gondozási szükséglet vizsgálatok eredményeire tekintünk.

This is quite clear from several scenes above, such as in scene 1 when Aryo, Dani, and Rafi skip class during school hours and they regret their actions. In scene 2 it is about the misunderstanding between Aryo and Kevin which makes them fight. In scene 3 it is also about the misunderstanding between Marsya and Lana even though the problem between the two of them can be discussed well. In scene 4 it is about the misunderstanding between Aryo and Marsya, their problem should also be discussed carefully too.

In scene 6 it is about Bayu's problem, it turns out he was the one who got Naya pregnant, at first Bayu didn't want to be honest and finally he was honest that he was actually the one who got Naya pregnant and there Bayu regretted his actions and apologized to Aryo and his friends.
