This study explores ways to improve students' social behavior through the role of foster guardians in Islamic boarding schools. This study uses qualitative research methods. The data sources are interviews with key informants, the heads and administrators of Islamic boarding schools, and observations. This research shows that Islamic boarding schools have unique methods for improving students' social behavior. The indicator is the active involvement of foster guardians in implementing the Islamic boarding school program. There are three types of programs implemented by foster guardians to improve the social behavior of students, including routine recitation, cleanliness pickets, and social service. The implementation of these three programs has supporting and inhibiting factors. Supporting factors for foster guardians to improve the social behavior of students, such as cooperation and discipline between foster guardians to help the administrators with their duties so that it is easier for their foster children to carry out Islamic boarding school activities. In contrast, inhibiting factors are lack of coordination, cooperation, and conflicts in the foster guardian's activity schedule.

In den innovativsten Städten und Regionen geht die Schere zwischen Arm und Reich immer weiter auseinander. Polarisierte Arbeitsmärkte, Mietpreisexplosionen und beschämend hohe Obdachlosenzahlen findet man oft auch dort, wo die technologischen Grenzen verschoben und ganz neue Geschäftsmodelle erschaffen werden. Ist Ungleichheit ein unvermeidbares Nebenprodukt von Innovation? Mitnichten. Die Vielen im Innovationsprozess mitzudenken kann sich sogar lohnen. Mit "Innovation for the Masses" zeigt der britische Wirtschaftsgeograf Neil Lee anhand von vier Fallstudien, wie das gehen kann und welche Institutionen dabei eine zentrale Rolle spielen.
Effects of river flooding on human population: A case study of Kyarumba Sub-county along River Nyamuhasana in Kasese District
Authors:   School of Natural and Applied Sciences, Kampala International University, Uganda, Doris Mutsangya Claire
Published: August 2024

A natural occurrence that can have catastrophic effects on human populations is river flooding. This study looked at how the flooding of the Nyamuhasana River affected the livelihoods of those who lived close to the river in Kyarumba sub-county. The primary aim of the research was to evaluate the effects of alterations in land use in the catchment areas of the Nyamuhasana River in Kyarumba sub-county, Kasese district. The study also aimed to determine the degree of awareness among the community regarding their impact on the rising frequency of flooding in the Nyamuhasana River. The study also assessed the effectiveness of flood mitigation strategies being implemented by Kyarumba sub-county residents near the Nyamuhasana River. The study used both primary and secondary data and the methods used for data collection were; interviewing, observation, use of questionnaire, focus group discussion, and use of geographical information system (GIS) and remote sensing. The study’s conclusions showed that changes in land use within the river Nyamuhasana catchment zones have greatly raised the frequency and severity of flooding incidents. The community’s lack of awareness of its impact on the rising frequency of Nyamuhasana flooding was another finding of the study. The study also discovered that the flood mitigation strategies used by the people living in the Kyarumba sub-county, which is next to the Nyamuhasana River, are mainly ineffective. The study suggests that to lessen the negative effects of river Nyamuhasana flooding on the way of life for people living in the Kyarumba sub-county, a thorough flood control plan should be created and put into action. Reducing land use changes within river catchment zones, increasing community understanding of flooding causes, and putting in place practical flood mitigation strategies should all be part of the strategy.

AI makes it possible to personalise, target adverts accurately, and forecast sales in marketing. Through recruiting, performance reviews, and training of employees, AI in human resource management raises productivity and engagement. Demand forecasting, inventory control, and condition based monitoring are all made easier in factory management by artificial intelligence. Maintaining compliance requirements, AI also helps with risk reduction, financial reporting, and fraud prevention. AI enhances consumer happiness and competitiveness in product creation via use of data analytics, modelling, and suggestions. AI also aids in strategic planning and decision-making in healthcare and life sciences. In retail and e-business, AI improves stocking management, customer profiling, and shopping experiences. This review examines AI in Customer Service: Revolutionising Support and Engagement. We utilised relevant published data (2004–2014) from diverse, reliable databases. Findings suggest that other trends like creative AI, XAI, and quantum computing, as well as collaboration between human beings and AI, continue to advance. As a result, ethical concerns remain a critical element to address when it comes to the application of AI, identifying both threats and opportunities. Finally, we note that AI continues to be a formidable and revolutionary force in organisations, enhancing value creation while promoting ethical principles.

General Report – An Analysis of Anti-Tax Avoidance Approaches in Nine European Countries: An Update to the Conclusions of the First Meeting of the European Association of Tax Law Professors in 1999
Authors: Öner C. , García Antón R.
Published: August 2024

In this General Report, as well as the accompanying country reports, the authors revisit a 1999 European Taxation article discussing tax avoidance, which stemmed from the first European Association of Tax Law Professors meeting. The authors explore shifts in tax avoidance perception due to the introduction of the treaty general anti-avoidance rule (GAAR) (principal purpose test), EU GAAR and specific anti-avoidance rules post-BEPS and the two OECD Pillars. Using eight 1999 cases for comparison, it provides a fresh empirical perspective on tax avoidance in Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

The use of polyethylene bags has been found to have more cons than pros. While it is a suitable choice of packaging for many, it contributes a lot to environmental pollution. Plastic bags contain harmful chemicals that when dumped, poisons the soil, water and everything in them. When incinerated, it is hazardous to the environment. Notwithstanding the hazard of plastic bags, it still remains the favorite choice of many, especially women in markets. This paper reviews the reasons for plastic bags being the women's favorite choice; which is largely connected to the economic living standard and long-term lifestyle of a large section of Nigerian women. The paper adopts the doctrinal methodology to consider the impact of plastic bags on the environment as well as human and animal life. Furthermore, the paper considers the role played by the environmental agencies and the existing laws and policies. It concludes by identifying a lack of awareness and proper education as a leading cause of the continued preference of plastic bags despite its multiple hazards. Finally, the paper recommends that a solution to the menace of plastic bags is to impose a ban on single-use plastic bags among others.

The right to education is recognised all over the world as human right. In fact, unfavourable conditions tied to the fact of not being educated serve as an impetus to people to want to indeed be educated. Nonetheless, the right to education in Nigeria might not be a right, but a pseudo-right. Access to education, most especially higher education, is impeded by the unavailability of funding. Social justice includes right to education for all. Then it is necessary for the government of countries to provide right conditions for funding. One of the funding mechanisms which replaces personal out-of-pocket payments is the student loan. The fact that resources are limited and the fact of equal access (with requirements) show that social justice cannot be attained in society. Due to this fact, it is necessary to have a system of allocation that is near-justice. One where assertions as to the existence of discriminations are limited or non-existent. All the past laws on students’ loan funding did not really reveal social justice and neither did they show near-justice. With the aid of doctrinal methodology, enactment of the Students Loans (Access to Higher Education) Act 2023 was examined and the paper finds that a lot of persons were denied access to funding. An amendment subsequently proceeded to rectify the problems inherent in the former Act, but it provided for what was done away with in the old Act and what should have been done away with in securing proximity to social justice in education. On that premise, the paper recommends that interests on loans be removed.

On the 31st day of May, 2021 the Federal High Court in Nigeria issued a practice direction that is described as The Federal High Court of Nigeria (Federal Inland Revenue Service) Practice Direction, 2021 with 1st day of June, 2021 as its effective date of take-off. Since the publication was released, multiple debates on the constitutionality and legality of some of the provisions of the practice direction continue to generate concerns among taxpayers and the general public. This paper is an examination of the constitutionality or otherwise of the rights to privacy of taxpayers and issues regarding taxes in Nigeria. The paper made further examination of the powers of the FIRS to access tax payers records and the challenges of tax assessment by taxpayers, possible rights of the taxpayers and the responsibility of FIRS as the authorized revenue collecting body of the Federal Government of Nigeria among other related issues. The paper adopts the doctrinal methodology through the X-ray of primary and secondary sources with available data in the area. This paper finds that probing, searching and revenue generation concepts for proper tax administration of Nigeria and for the purpose of generating revenue and increasing the internally generated revenue of the nation and the rights to privacy of taxpayers and the rights of FIRS to administer tax in Nigeria needs to be regulated by the courts.
Biased bivariate correlations in combined survey data measured with different instruments
Authors: Singh Ranjit K.
Published: August 2024

Social scientists increasingly form composite datasets using data from different survey programs, which often use different single-question instruments to measure the same latent construct. This creates an obstacle when we want to run analyses using the combined data, since the scores measured with different instruments are not necessarily comparable. In this paper, we explore one consequence of such comparability problems. Specifically, we examine the case where instruments measuring the same construct have different item difficulties. This means if we applied the instruments to the same population, we would get different mean responses. If such mean differences are not mitigated before combining data, we introduce a mean bias into our composite data. Such mean bias has direct consequences for analyses based on the combined data. In data drawn from the same population, mean bias introduces error variance. In data drawn from different populations it would bias or even invert true population differences. However, in this paper I demonstrate that mean bias can also bias bivariate correlations if one or both variables in a composite dataset are subject to mean bias. If differences in item difficulty are not mitigated before combining data, we introduce a variant of Simpson’s paradox into our data: The bivariate correlation in each source survey might differ substantially from the correlation in the composite dataset. In a set of systematic simulations, I demonstrate this correlation bias effect and show how it changes depending on the mean biases in each variable and the strength of the underlying true correlation.

The Legal Certainty no Longer Applies to a Nation's Wealth that Has Been Transferred to a State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN)
Authors: Sitompul Mercy Monika R , Sitepu Runtung , Akbar Faisal , Sirait Natasya Ningrum
Published: August 2024

The inclusion of Separated State Wealth within the scope of State Finance remains an interesting issue to study. The law enforcement agency (APH) has a different view when dealing with cases involving separate State Property Managers. The entire entity in which there is Separated State Property is considered to be BUMN. Separate State Properties held at the International Financial Institution are not touched by the APH. This shows the inconsistency and the minimality of understanding of the BOMN. This situation is becoming more complex due to the disharmonization of various regulations relating to Separation State Properties. Article 2 of Act No. 28 of 1999 on the Maintenance of a State Clean and Free from Corruption, Collusion, and Nepotism states that the Directorate is the Organizer of the State. General Explanation of Law No. 31 of 1999 extends the meaning of “Civil Public Officer, that is, the person who receives salary, salary from a corporation that uses the capital/facilities of the state or society. It is difficult for a profit-seeking director to perform his duties properly if he is embedded in the status of State Organizer and PNS as it is in the Ministry/State Authority. The research was conducted using a method of normative jurisprudence, i.e. testing and using secondary data to obtain clarity of the problem. Disharmonization of various regulations and the minimum understanding of APH in dealing with issues of Separated State Property creates legal uncertainty.

Published: August 2024

Background: Neonatal jaundice is a common condition characterized by elevated bilirubin levels, which, if untreated, can lead to severe complications such as kernicterus. Phototherapy is a widely used treatment modality, with two primary approaches: continuous and intermittent phototherapy. While both methods aim to reduce bilirubin levels, there is ongoing debate about their relative efficacy and safety.
Objective: This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of intermittent versus continuous phototherapy in the management of neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia in terms of bilirubin reduction, treatment duration, and associated complications.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted at the Department of Paediatrics, Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, from January 2022 to December 2023. The study included 62 full-term neonates with indirect bilirubin levels >15.0 mg/dL but ≤20 mg/dL. Neonates were randomly assigned to receive either intermittent phototherapy (two hours on, two hours off) or continuous phototherapy. Serum indirect bilirubin levels were measured at 24 and 48 hours post-initiation of phototherapy. The total duration of phototherapy, volume of milk consumed, and complications such as hyperthermia and hypocalcaemia were recorded. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, with a p-value ≤ 0.05 considered statistically significant.
Results: At 24 hours post-treatment, the median indirect bilirubin level was 12.70 mg/dL (IQR: 1.20) in the intermittent group versus 12.50 mg/dL (IQR: 1.90) in the continuous group (p=0.893). At 48 hours, the levels were 6.40 mg/dL (IQR: 1.10) and 6.50 mg/dL (IQR: 1.10), respectively (p=0.821). The median total duration of phototherapy was significantly shorter in the intermittent group (22.0 hours, IQR: 2.0) compared to the continuous group (45.0 hours, IQR: 3.0; p<0.001). Neonates in the intermittent group consumed more milk (420.0 mL, IQR: 93.0) than those in the continuous group (397.0 mL, IQR: 57.0; p=0.014). Hyperthermia was less frequent in the intermittent group (3.2% vs. 25.8%, p=0.026), as was hypocalcaemia (16.1% vs. 45.2%, p=0.013).
Conclusion: Intermittent phototherapy is as effective as continuous phototherapy in reducing bilirubin levels and offers additional benefits, including a shorter treatment duration, improved feeding, and fewer complications. Intermittent phototherapy should be considered a preferred option for managing neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia in clinical practice.

Background: Neonatal sepsis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants, who are particularly vulnerable due to their immature immune systems. Hypoalbuminemia, a common biochemical abnormality in these neonates, may reflect the severity of infection and the systemic inflammatory response, potentially serving as a prognostic marker for mortality.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the frequency of hypoalbuminemia in preterm neonates with sepsis and to evaluate its sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy in predicting mortality within the neonatal period.
Methods: A cross-sectional validation study was conducted at the Department of Paediatrics, Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, from January 2023 to April 2024. A total of 140 preterm neonates with sepsis were included. Neonates with primary liver conditions, significant congenital anomalies, or nephrotic syndrome were excluded. Serum albumin levels were measured upon study enrollment, with hypoalbuminemia defined as a serum albumin level <2.5 g/L. Mortality was monitored for up to 28 days of life. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. Quantitative variables were expressed as means/medians, while qualitative variables were presented as frequencies and percentages. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy were calculated, and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to determine the optimal cut-off value.
Results: Hypoalbuminemia was observed in 57 (40.7%) of the neonates. Mortality occurred in 36 (25.7%) cases. Hypoalbuminemia was significantly associated with mortality (p<0.001). The sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy of hypoalbuminemia in predicting mortality were 77.78%, 72.12%, and 73.57%, respectively. The optimal serum albumin cut-off value for predicting mortality was 2.45 g/L, with a sensitivity of 73.1% and a specificity of 77.8%.
Conclusion: Hypoalbuminemia is a significant predictor of mortality in preterm neonates with sepsis, demonstrating reasonable diagnostic accuracy. Monitoring serum albumin levels may be valuable in risk stratification and early identification of high-risk neonates. Further studies are recommended to validate these findings in larger cohorts and to explore potential therapeutic interventions.

Understanding the intricate dynamics of the Great Lakes water levels, shaped by environmental factors like rainfall and evaporation, is crucial for devising sustainable water management strategies. This study develops a model to manage the Great Lakes' water levels by analyzing the interconnectedness of the lake network. Utilizing principal component analysis, key variables like rainfall and evaporation were evaluated for their impact on water levels. System dynamics models integrated with flow conservation laws allowed for a detailed hydrodynamic assessment. The study introduces a "narrow seam method" for dry river scenarios, enhancing model accuracy. Annual water level trends from 2000 are depicted, offering insights into future water management practices in response to environmental changes.
INVESTING IN OUR ROOTS: A STUDY OF CSR ALLOCATION FOR HERITAGE, ART AND CULTURE BY PSUS AND NON-PSUS
Authors: Dalwadi Pragnesh
Published: August 2024

This research paper explores the corporate social responsibility (CSR) spending patterns of public sector undertakings (PSUs) versus non-public sector undertakings (non-PSUs) companies in India, specifically focusing on contributions towards heritage, art, and culture. The study utilizes data from the National CSR portal, covering the period from 2017-‘18 to 2021-‘22. The analysis reveals that non-PSUs consistently demonstrate higher average contributions to heritage, art, and culture than PSUs. However, the spending patterns show significant year-on-year variability for both sectors, with PSUs exhibiting more fluctuation. The findings underscore the need for more strategic and consistent CSR investments in heritage, art, and culture, particularly among PSUs. The paper concludes with recommendations for policy measures to enhance corporate contributions to preserving and promoting India's rich cultural heritage.
