Authors: Mazana Mzomwe Yahya , Suero Montero Calkin , Casmir Respickius Casmir , Oyelere Solomon Sunday
Published: September 2024

The study employs design-based research (DBR) to design the mathematics teaching and learning activity model (M-TLAM) for blended learning instruction in a Tanzanian higher education context. This model utilises contextual factors, including ICT tool usage, collaborative learning with metacognitive activities, and local culture, to determine how optimising these factors boosts math students’ motivation and achievement. Two DBR phases were conducted, of which Phase 1 lasted for two weeks and Phase 2 an entire semester. To evaluate M-TLAM in real-life learning settings, experiments were conducted with 225 first-year undergraduate students and seven lecturers at the  College of Business Education in Tanzania. Experimental data were collected from pre-and post-tests, interviews, and questionnaires administered to students and lecturers. The study examined the perceptions and motivation of the participating lecturers towards using the M-TLAM in mathematics education and the factors influencing student motivation, academic achievement, and experience towards business mathematics courses. The evaluation results are promising and show that the M-TLAM implementation can potentially improve students’ motivation and academic achievement. In addition, the pedagogical experiences of students were primarily positive, and student’s attitudes towards the business mathematics course through M-TLAM were more favourable than those of students who studied the course via traditional methods. Cultural, technological, and instructional Factors contribute to students’ improved motivation. Lectures demonstrated a cheerful disposition towards the potential of the M-TLAM for enhancing teaching and learning activities. The contributions of this study are highlighted through the implementation of the M-TLAM for blended learning and through the design principles and guidelines provided towards its effective implementation.

Published: September 2024

The knowledge of how the human motions is performed helps to understand how the human body works. This paper presents a method to estimate the human limbs angles through a kinematic model depicted by Roll-Pitch-Yaw rotationmatrix and the mimic of those angles on a humanoid robot. The advantage of this model is the detailed representation of each joint movement in the coordinate axes (x, y, z). The angles estimation is made with the information provided by algorithms of artificial vision and artificial intelligence. In order to reduce the latency between the human motion capture and robot motions, a fuzzy logic controller is implemented in order to control each robot joint. The final robot limbs angles are compared with the human angles in order to obtain the final error between those measurements. This method shows a similar result on the arms posture regarding previous works.

Authors: Kumar A. Dinesh , Sivaraman R.
Published: September 2024

Among several ideas existing in Summability Theory which deals with assigning finite values to infinite divergent series of real numbers, Ramanujan Summation is one among them. There is a well known compact formula for determining number of diagonals in a convex polygon with n sides. In this paper, we will prove a new result pertaining to determining Ramanujan Summation for the divergent series whose terms are positive integral powers of number of diagonals in an n sided convex polygon.
Finite Groups Containing No Blocks of Defect Zero
Authors: Mpono Zwelethemba , Nkosi Sibusiso
Published: September 2024

The irreducible characters of finite groups are always contained in blocks of defects which are nonnegative integers. Even though blocks always exist in finite groups, it is not the case that blocks of defect zero would always exist as well. Blocks of defect zero contain only one irreducible ordinary character each of defect zero and the defect group of blocks of defect zero is always the trivial subgroup of a finite group. Some finite groups do not have characters of defect zero and hence no blocks of defect zero either. The object in this paper is to study finite groups containing no blocks of defect zero. Finite abelian groups and p-groups will serve as special cases in this regard, with all blocks of finite abelian groups being of full/highest defect. We shall also determine an upper bound for the number of blocks in finite groups which contain no blocks of defect zero.

Published: September 2024

This study assessed the impact of the SEEFOR project on the poverty alleviation of indigenous women of Rivers State, Nigeria. The socio-economic characteristics of the rural women were described, impact of the project on assets ownership and income of women were assessed and the effect of the project on the rural women’s socio-economic status was determined. A null hypothesis stating that, there is no significant difference in the income of the rural women before and after participating in the project was tested. A multi-stage sampling procedure was employed for data collection.  Structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 238 rural women.   Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data collected. Results showed that a majority (79%) of the women were farmers, had small enterprises (72.7%), had 11 years of experience, 74% used leased land for business, only 5% had access to a credit facility, all (100%) were members of a cooperative society, 64.7% were co-contributors with husband for family upkeep.  There was a positive 48.3% and 44.5% increment in the number of women who owned assets such as a good house and television after the project respectively.  It was found that there was a 72.35% increase in the mean monthly income of rural women.   Generally, the project improved the living condition of the rural women. The perceived effects of the project on women’s socio-economic status were; increased decision-making power at home (3.88) and improvement in the contribution of children’s education/community development (3.87).   The study concludes, that the project has relatively reduced the poverty of rural women in the study area as there was a significant increment (72.35%) in the monthly income of the women. It was recommended that policies should be put in place to enhance women’s access to credit facilities and that more projects designed at alleviating poverty in Rivers State should target rural women

Published: September 2024

Globally, rural areas are dominated by households earning less than a dollar per day and engaging in subsistence agriculture to meet their basic needs. In Kenya, governments and non-governmental organizations have taken measures to promote agricultural activities and non-agricultural activities to alleviate poverty in rural areas. One of such none agricultural activity in Kenya is stone mining. Stone mining is an alternative source of livelihood for most rural households. The objective of the study was to establishment the effects of stone mining on household livelihoods in the Londiani, Sub-County. Primary data was collected by use of structured household questionnaires and Key Informant Interviews. Descriptive statistics was used during data analysis where percentages were computed and tabulated. The study revealed that: stone quarry activities have adverse effects on residents of Londiani sub-County, notably:  respiratory diseases, chest and skin infections, eye problems, rashes, and body injuries. Stone mining has numerous benefits to the miners' livelihoods. The money generated from stone mining is used to pay school fees, purchase food for the family, clothing, and health services and even build shelter for the family. The study recommends for an audit of the number of households directly involved in quarrying activities with a view to extending credit facilities to boost mining sector. The findings are significant to policymakers in the county government of Kericho, and national governments in formulating policies aimed at streamlining informal sectors into mainstream economic activities

Authors: BaikoAjuaba David , Ssentamu Proscovia Namubiru , Cutright Marc
Published: September 2024

Quality assurance in universities has always been the professional duty of the faculty. In Africa quality assurance mechanisms (QAMs) were initiated as soon as universities were established in the continent. Although in Uganda the teaching staff are at the center of QAMs, inadequacies in academic staffing practices in the areas of remuneration, quality and quantity of the teaching staff have been some of the challenges experienced by universities in the country. This led to the establishment of the National Council for Higher Education to promote QAMs. This study established the extent to which academic staffing practices influenced QAMs in selected universities in Uganda. The study adopted the systems theory where the academic staffs are part of the inputs universities employ to offer services. The study is based on the pragmatic paradigm and cross-sectional survey design. By use of the disproportionate stratified random sampling 180 and 120 students and academic staff members respectively responded to questionnaires. In addition 47 students were conveniently sampled to participate in focus group discussions and 20 managers were purposefully sampled for individual interviews. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyze and interpret the quantitative data and corroborated with qualitative data. The results presented a mixed picture; chi-square test for the academic staff is not statistically significant and for students is statistically significant. The study concludes that there is moderate influence of academic staffing practices on QAMs in the selected universities in Uganda. In order to enhance QAMs, the study recommends the need to further improve levels of remuneration, quality and number of academic staff in the universities.

Most parents tend to attribute the poor performance of their children to the head teacher’s leadership style. The study sought to find out the relationship between democratic leadership style and students’ academic performance in Garissa township, Garissa County. This study was guided by Contingency and performance theory based on quantitative approach to collect data. The study adopted a correlational research design that sought to measure the relationship between the variables. The study targeted a population of 750 teachers and head teachers from 30 public secondary schools in Garissa Sub County. The sample was 200 participants consisting of 192 teachers and 8 head teachers. The sample was obtained through stratified sampling to establish the number of head teachers and teachers to be included in the study sample. Simple random sampling was used to select 8 head teachers from 30 schools and 192 teachers from 720 teachers. Questionnaires were used; one for teachers and another for head teachers to collect data. Pilot study was carried out in two neighbouring schools which were not included in the study. The data was analyzed quantitatively using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study established that leadership styles of Headteachers will influence performance of teachers. The data further shows that many teachers in the current schools have not stay long also these may be to some extent contributing to in experience to handle learning hence low academic performance. The study recommended that head teachers ought to be given refresher courses on appropriate leadership styles to be applied in their institutions. Sensitization is essential on mutual participation by all to meet the organizational targets. More so headteachers need to be aware of participatory leadership.
Prisoner's Rights in Somalia Law and International Law: Comparative Analysis
Authors: Abdullah Abdurisaq Abdurahman
Published: September 2024

The article, titled "Comparative Analysis of Prisoners' Rights in Somali Law and International Law," seeks to investigate the compatibility of Somalia's domestic legislation with prevailing global standards, treaties, and principles relating to the rights of prisoners. The research methodology utilized in this study is qualitative, with a specific focus on document analysis, the researcher considers this method is regarded more reliable than alternative methods due to its precise interpretation of legal content. Existing literature on Somalia's prison facilities reveals substandard living conditions that do not meet international benchmarks, encompassing issues such as inadequate food and water quality, poor sanitation, legal system uncertainties, and insufficient mechanisms for monitoring prison conditions; therefore, this study will address the gap in comparing prisoner rights at the national and international levels where such a comparison is currently lacking. Since the establishment of the United Nations in 1945, numerous conventions aimed at protecting human rights, including those of prisoners, have been established at the international level. These include the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights in 1966, the Convention against Torture in 1987, the Kampala Declaration in 1996, and the Nelson Mandela Rules in 2015. These conventions emphasize that prisoners possess inherent human dignity, deserve better living conditions, and have the right to education and employment. International mechanisms are in place to safeguard prisoners' rights, a commitment mirrored in Somalia's national laws. However, unlike international law, Somalia's national legislation does not strongly emphasize the prohibition of torture and the use of solitary confinement as a last resort for disciplinary measures.

Authors: Mugambe Paddy , Mulindwa Daniel
Published: September 2024

This study explored the interplay between financial literacy, education level, and financial behaviour among employees in Higher Education Institutions. Drawing on a sample of employees from various departments within these institutions, the research investigates whether education level mediates the relationship between financial literacy and financial behaviour. Data were collected through a survey and analysed using SMARTPLS for mediation. The findings suggest that financial literacy has a statistically significant positive association with financial behaviour, financial literacy has a statistically significant positive association with Education level but the relationship between education level and financial behaviour is not statistically significant. Additionally, the mediating effect of education level between financial literacy and financial behaviour was not statistically significant. These results have implications for financial literacy programs and policies targeting employees in higher education institutions with the major focus pointing towards building of financial literacy levels regardless of the employees’ education level if the financial behaviour is to be positively influenced

Modeling of Sensitivity of Lithium-Containing Crystal Scintillators to Thermal Neutrons
Authors: Laguckiy Il'ya , Komar Damian , Davydov Maksim
Published: September 2024

This paper presents the results of Monte Carlo modelling of the sensitivity of the lithium containing detectors CLYC, NaIL, CLLB to thermal neutrons. The difference between the sensitivity and the neutron freepath depth of the CLYC scintillator enriched and unenriched with the 6Li isotope is shown. The analysis of the distribution of alpha particles and neutrons in the scintillator volume is performed, showing the inefficiency of the unenriched scintillator due to the fact that not all neutrons react with the crystal material. Mathematical modelling by the Monte Carlo method of the scintillator sensitivity and its comparison with respect to the irradiation direction has been carried out. It is shown that for the scintillator in the face and side geometry with the size more than 38 mm the difference in sensitivity at change of the neutron flux direction is connected only with the scintillator cross section and 6Li concentration with the same value of the specific sensitivity. The obtained model results were compared with available experimental data for NaIL and CLLB scintillators, which showed the reliability of the developed models and calculation methods.

Authors: Vasyukevich Tat'yana , Nitievskaya Liliya , Ahatova Marina
Published: September 2024

The article presents the data of radioecological research of the bottom sediments in the Russian zone of the Vistula Lagoon in 2011–2023. According to research, the specific activity of 137Cs in the bottom sediments of the Lagoon was in the range of 3,9–165 Bq/m3. 137Cs is the main technogenic radionuclides that makes the greatest contribution to the pollution of the Lagoon. Contamination of the bottom sediments with 137Cs is determined by the redistribution of mainly post-Chernobyl fallout. The 137Cs accumulation was recorded in the northern deep-water part of the Primorskaya Bay. According to observations, the effective half-life of 137Cs activity in the sediments of the Lagoon is 10,4–42 years. The content of natural radionuclides is: 226Ra – from 9,0 to 35,3; 232Th – from 3,8 to 43,2; 40K from 227 to 715 Bq/kg. The NRN specific activity in the sediments of the Lagoon did not exceed 153 Bq/kg, which was significantly lower than the established safe level (370 Bq/kg), allowing their handling without restrictions. The correlations between the content of 40K, 226Ra, 232Th in the bottom sediments of the Lagoon were established with the type of sediment

Supervisi Pendidikan Persfektif Islam
Authors: Nuraini
Published: September 2024

The aim of educational supervision is to provide technical assistance and guidance to teachers and other school staff so that these personnel are able to improve the quality of their performance, especially in carrying out tasks, namely carrying out the learning process. Furthermore, if the quality of the performance of teachers and staff has increased. educational supervision provides assistance in the form of continuous guidance both individually and in groups in improving learning so as to improve the quality of the school as a whole. Controlling or supervision in Arabic has the same meaning as the word ar-Riqobah. In the Qur'an, this word is mentioned in several verses which generally indicate the existence of a supervisory function. Ar-riqobah is knowing the actual events with the rules and regulations, as well as pointing precisely to the bases that have been set in the original planning. In this context, sharia implementation is realized through three pillars of supervision, namely: 1) individual piety, that all company personnel are ensured and nurtured to become pious human beings; 2) supervision of members, in an organizational atmosphere that reflects a team, the organization's sustainability process will always receive supervision from its personnel in accordance with the direction that has been set; 3) Implementation/supremacy of rules, organizations are upheld by clear and transparent rules of the game and are not against sharia.

Authors: KERPATENKO Yuliia
Published: September 2024

The paper clarifies that ensuring national security, the country’s defense capability, and economic growth critically depends on the development of Ukraine’s military industry. Improvement of financial and technological support, development of innovations, and international cooperation are the key directions of the financial strategies of the military industry. It has been proven that the development of the military industry in the national security system of Ukraine requires a comprehensive approach and close cooperation between various branches of government, scientific institutions, and the private sector, which will ensure not only defense capability but also contribute to the economic development of the country. It is substantiated that the successful implementation of financial strategies for the development of the industrial complex requires an appropriate foundation, namely: an increase in financial resources for the modernization of production facilities and the development of new technologies; integration of modern technologies into the production process; increase in costs for training and attracting new specialists; expansion of cooperation with NATO countries and other international partners; participation in joint international projects and programs. The main aspects and directions of the development of the military industry in the context of national security are substantiated: the development of own production capacities to ensure autonomy in the production of military equipment, critical components and systems, weapons, and ammunition; increasing investments in the GDR for the development of own technologies and increasing the competitiveness of Ukrainian military-industrial complex products; carrying out corporatization and privatization through the transformation of state-owned military-industrial complex enterprises into more efficient corporate structures; development and implementation of laws that contribute to the development of the military industry and the protection of national interests; implementation of international standards in the production and management of the military industry.

Authors: SEMENCHA Ilona , KURIACHA Nataliia , HORDIEIEVA-HERASYMOVA Liudmyla
Published: September 2024

Introduction. Ukraine has lost approximately 4.8 million jobs due to the Russian aggression, creating a significant deficit in traditional employment opportunities and leading to substantial internal migration and economic instability.
The purpose of the paper is to systematically analyze the specific characteristics of freelancing as a form of additional income in Ukraine and to assess the potential for commercializing personal ideas through this form of employment. The study aims to provide a detailed examination of freelancing's economic content and organizational features and to highlight the skills and competencies freelancers acquire. Furthermore, it explores the legislative landscape and tax implications for freelancers in Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of this employment form in the current economic climate.
Results. The study systematically identified and categorized the primary aspects of freelancing activities in Ukraine. Economically, freelancing is characterized as a form of labor organization where the worker provides professional services on a temporary or project basis while maintaining autonomy and self-employment. Key features of freelancing include self-employment, flexibility, project-based work, and the ability to work with multiple clients simultaneously. The research highlighted essential skills and competencies that freelancers develop. From an economic perspective, the paper analyzed how freelancers can commercialize their ideas, emphasizing the need for market adaptation, brand formation, initial investment, and intellectual property protection. The study also identified various opportunities for freelancers in the market and social networks across multiple fields. Legislative changes regulating labor relations and taxation of freelancers in Ukraine were examined, revealing the gradual legalization and normalization of freelance activities.
Conclusion. The paper seeks to offer insights into how freelancing can serve as a viable alternative for those who have lost their jobs and how it can help sustain income levels and economic stability for displaced and other affected populations.
Effectiveness of regulatory changes in administrative law during the war
Authors: SHCHERBATIUK Iryna , LIVAK Anton , BURIAK Yevhen
Published: September 2024

Introduction. In the conditions of war, administrative law faces new challenges that require prompt and adequate regulatory changes. Traditional approaches to administrative regulation may not be effective enough, putting stability, security and law and order at risk. Adaptation of normative acts, procedures and mechanisms of administrative law to the conditions of war is an urgent need.
The purpose of the paper is to determine the effectiveness of regulatory changes in administrative law during wartime, to analyze the impact of these changes on the functioning of state bodies and the protection of citizens’ rights, as well as to develop practical recommendations for improving the regulatory framework in wartime conditions.
The results. The paper provides an overview of the main normative acts adopted in Ukraine during the war, such as the laws "On the National Security of Ukraine" and "On the Defense of Ukraine", as well as presidential decrees and resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers. Their influence on administrative practice, in particular on mobilization measures, coordination between state bodies and protection of information resources, is considered. The analysis of international experience showed that other countries also implemented similar regulatory changes to improve the effectiveness of public administration in wartime conditions.

Introduction. Some innovative electronic procedures have been introduced in criminal proceedings. For example, at the legislative level, the Uniform Register of Investigative Procedures (hereinafter referred to as the Uniform Register of Investigative Procedures) has been created and is in operation. Nevertheless, there are certain difficulties in the work of law enforcement officers regarding the systematic understanding of the information that must be entered into this register, for example, the use of different standards for entering reports of criminal offenses the lack of coordination between the parties involved in the pre-trial investigation.
The purpose of the paper is to reveal the essence and legal nature of the concept of "electronic investigative actions" in criminal procedural legislation, to analyze the legal aspects of using digital technologies to collect evidence in the context of sustainable development.
Results. The change was made in connection with many circumstances, under which the decision to introduce martial law made it impossible to carry out operational and investigative measures. In particular, the increase in the amount of electronic evidence, such as data from mobile devices, computers and Internet sources, forces law enforcement agencies to improve their methods and skills in the field of digital investigations. All this determines the importance and necessity of constant updating and adaptation of forensic means, techniques and methods of investigation and investigation of crimes to the realities of the modern world. Electronic investigative actions will improve the work of pretrial investigation bodies, make them more efficient, transparent and impartial.
Conclusion. There are certain risks and difficulties in the implementation of ESD, namely large volumes of data collected during criminal proceedings and the need to protect personal data, which will prevent the creation of cloned files and the "disclosure" of collected confidential information to third parties through cyber attacks, etc. This work requires appropriate material and technical support and the participation of relevant companies specializing in information security.

The paper examines the economic essence of the concept of "production process" from the standpoint of the category as a value characteristic. The elements of the basic model of the production process - production resources, technological environment, product - were adapted to the conceptual apparatus of international standards, taking into account the specific features of the beekeeping industry. The definition of the concept of "production process in beekeeping" is proposed in accordance with the requirements of IAS 41 "Agriculture" and IAS 2 "Inventories". It has been established that bee colonies meet the mandatory conditions stipulated by IAS for recognizing assets as biological, therefore, in order to unify the concept of the production process of beekeeping with the requirements of international accounting practice, bee colonies should be considered as a biological asset, which will allow the evaluation of bee colonies and form information adapted to international standards in current accounting and accounting. However, according to IAS 41 "Agriculture", which relate to the agricultural stage of the beekeeping production process, "the output obtained from the biological assets of the enterprise should be valued at fair value less costs to sell, which are determined at the time of receipt products", and not at its actual cost price, which is not used in international accounting practice. It is recommended to supplement the accounting of beekeeping products in farms that prepare financial statements.

The paper notes that sports betting has been popular since the days of Ancient Rome. Fans would place bets on their favourite player or team, and if they won, they would receive a prize. It is worth noting that not only the Romans were known for their love of gambling, it was also popular in ancient Egypt, China, Japan, and India. In many cases, gambling was regulated or banned depending on the cultural and moral values of the society. The legacy of the love of gambling can be traced even today in various types of activities. The paper provides a detailed analysis of scientific and legislative approaches to the definition of the concept of "betting activity". Based on the results obtained, the author proposes his own definition, according to which: "bookmaking activity is the activity of organising and conducting events in which a player bets on the outcome of events that are to take place and the outcome of which is difficult to predict, and the organiser of the game (bookmaker/bookmaking organisation) undertakes, in case of winning, to pay the players an amount that depends on the bet made by the player". The paper also identifies and analyses in detail the signs of bookmaking activities. The main features are as follows: 1. The purpose of the activity is to make a profit; 2. The content of the activity is the provision of services for organising and conducting betting; 3. Obligatory availability of a permit (licence) to conduct such activities; 4. Risky nature. Special attention is paid to the study of the subjective composition of legal relations. The concept and characteristics of players and organisers of betting activities are studied. As a result of the study, the author concludes that betting activity is a special type of entrepreneurial activity which has its own peculiarities, taking into account the specifics of its implementation.
