An Analysis of Supportive Communication between Broken-Home Adolescents and their Friend: A Case Study in Yogyakarta
Authors: Amrullah Ahmad Halim , Suciati Suciati , Winarsih Atik Septi
Published: October 2023

This study describes the supportive communication of broken-home adolescents with their best friends in Yogyakarta. The used theory is “Categories of Defensive and Supportive Behavior” or is called the defense and support theory, which assumes that each individual has the nature not only to defend himself but also to provide support to others. This research type is a descriptive qualitative approach. The data collection technique was in-depth interviews and the purposive sampling technique was used to determine the research informants. Then, the data were analyzed with an interactive analysis. Meanwhile, for the validity test, the authors used the source triangulation. The research results showed that pair I (S and F) with the background of a broken-home family and more than 7 years of friendship run amicably. The similarities made it easier for them to open themselves to others and become more honest without worrying about demeaning each other because of understanding individual feelings and conditions. Pair II (A and I), although it did not have conditions for the same family, were able to open up to each other with the frequent meetings because they have lived in one boarding house since enrolling the college. Even though A felt shy at the beginning of the meeting, I showed a positive response which it could foster self-confidence and make it easy for them to open up. However, I needed to cautiously respond and give suggestions so that I did not hurt his best friend’s feelings. The broken-home teenagers only needed to be listened to when encountering a problem that should be understood. Moreover, they needed a place to share their feelings to the people they trusted and to improve their self-confidence. Their friends are required to respond and provide suggestions, but they must not look down on him/her. For example, they could offer solutions based on their experiences or suggest another perspective on the problem. Sometimes, they just listened to their friends’ suggestions without truly doing them. The self-disclosure of the broken-home teenagers was merely to relieve their sadness due to the trauma of the separation from their parents.
Linguistic Contribution to Nation Building and Development in Cameroon, 1916-2016
Authors: NGWA Divine Fuhnwi
Published: October 2023

This study examines the contribution of English language (a colonial cultural heritage) to nation building and development in Cameroon. After the defeat of the Germans in 1916, the British and the French established a condominium over the territory which eventually led to its partition. The British and French transported their political, social, cultural and linguistic potentials to the different parts of Cameroon under their rule. This formed the foundation of the English and French languages in the territory. Since then, English has served as a vector of cultural identity in Cameroon. It has also been an obstacle to the consolidation of the nation’s national unity and integration given that the stigmatisation, discrimination and injustice meted on those who practice the language do not speak well of the nation. These vices have not helped to consolidate nation building nor enhance its socio-cultural and political development. Local governance is impeded on the grounds that understanding the functionality of such structures is based on the cultural traits of communication that permits the people to understand the political system put in place. Through books, memoirs, thesis and interviews, we concluded that the English language and culture is a useful and inevitable bazooka for the socio-cultural, political and economic development of Cameroon. It is a symbol and source of strength for national unity and integration. It incarnates a people and a culture in Cameroon. It is also the first amongst a multilingual and cultural polity expected to harness its diversities and ethnic endowments to construct and enhance development in the nation. English is a potential cord capable of pulling other ethnic identities and affiliations into a single political think tank for a better Cameroon.
Policy of Fuel Subsidy Removal in Nigeria: Problems, Prospects and ways Forward
Authors: Izom Yahuza Danjuma , Wakili Nura Tanko , Aliyu Uba
Published: October 2023

Energy subsidy most especially fuel subsidy, which is the focus of this study, has a long history and has been used in various ways across the world with varying results. There are many different reasons for adding or removing subsidies. Environmental concerns, global commerce, and preserving competitiveness are the key forces behind policy in industrialized economies. While the primary motivations for the introduction of subsidy in developing nations such as Nigeria is welfare, the reduction of poverty, and electoral politics but it became a burden on Nigeria’s economy due to fraud, corruption, and smuggling. This led to the subsidy removal policy to save the country’s economy and divert the budget to other critical sectors of the economy such as infrastructure, health, and education. The aforementioned issues are motivating factors geared towards identifying the challenges and prospects of the policy and also develop ways forward or recommendations for effective implementation of the policy. Documentary research method was adopted as secondary sources of data were used. Content analysis and logical inference was adopted as tool for data analysis. The research is anchored on structural functionalism as its theoretical framework. The findings of the study is that instead of the benefits the citizens were expecting from its implementation it turned to affect the citizens negatively, no obvious arrangement were made by the government to alleviate the future hardship envisaged in the policy implementation among others. The paper recommends that government at all levels should as a matter of urgency review the policy of subsidy removal and to provide a well structured palliatives alleviate the suffering of the citizenry, to mention but a few.
New Image of the Child in Lord of the Flies and the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Authors: ORAL Erdi , ÖZYÖN Arzu
Published: October 2023

The characteristics of stereotypical characters in literary works may transform over time as the characteristics of the group they represent in society change. Child image is one of those which experiences this change the most. Child, who initially appeared as a little adult, evil born or wax to be molded, has evolved to include more complex and sophisticated depictions because the child in the real world has begun to be seen differently than before and it has been understood that it has a more complex structure than it appears. This indicates that children are not just a monolithic group who look remarkably alike and have common characteristics and behaviors. Factors such as nature, society, and living conditions play an important role in shaping each child's unique character and actions, and therefore a child cannot be exclusively decent, evil, pure, or tainted. However, in any case, the image of the child is shaped by the wishes and expectations of society. To make a long story short, from the past to the present, children have come to be understood as more than stereotypes and as multidimensional individuals, and as a manifestation of this in literature, they have begun to be represented more complexly in works. This process of change is evident when the older literary periods and more recent novels The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Lord of the Flies are analyzed.

Impact of Asset Quality Compliance on Financial Performance of Nairobi Securities Exchange Listed Commercial Banks
Authors: Linda Naliaka Moureen , Tibbs Charles , Bulla Dennis
Published: October 2023

Asset quality compliance is relatively important; however, the banking sector has undergone major financial shocks due to compliance signals. With losses experienced among commercial banks, for instance, return on assets (ROA) dropped consistently from 29% to 24% in 2019 to 21% in 2020, hence the wrong signals. The decline in the number of assets and low deposits further magnified the challenge; this led to the closure of a number of banks, such as Chase Bank and Charterhouse Bank. Furthermore, a national bank was acquired by Kenya Commercial Bank due to inefficient assets. The purpose of the study was to establish the influence of asset quality compliance requirements on the financial performance of commercial banks listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange and hence determine the null hypothesis that asset quality compliance requirements have no significant effect on the financial performance of commercial banks listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange. A mixed research design was applied to a population of 12 commercial banks listed at Nairobi Securities Exchange Kenya. This is comprised of causal research designs and longitudinal designs. The study employed a mixed research design and collected secondary data for a period of 5 years. The study found that asset quality requirements had a significance level of P<0.05, thus P = 0.0268, implying significance. The study concluded that assets have a significant impact on banks financial performance. The study recommends that commercial bank stakeholders should invest in assets since they lead to financial performance. The study may benefit a number of people, including bank management, the government, and future scholars.

Authors:   Program Study of English Education, Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta, Hamdani Danial
Published: October 2023

This study examines the discourse of Simon Stiell's political speeches through the lens of Halliday's Systemic Functional Grammar. Additionally, it aims to substantiate the claim that Systemic Functional Grammar, in particular the idealization meta-functions, underlies Stiell's political speech at COP27. It employs both a qualitative and a quantitative mixed approach. The study's sample is Simon Stiell, executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, addressing during the COP27 closing session on November 20, 2022. After that, transitivity analysis was done to determine the outcomes. These speeches have undergone transitivity system analysis. The study's findings show that Simon Stiell heavily employs the idealization meta-functions in his speeches. It demonstrates that he has extensively trained using systemic functional grammar in his discourse, which made persuading the listener to take action far more successful and persuasive. Additionally, the results demonstrate that the proportion of Material processes that use the idealization meta-functional aspects varies depending on his speech and even the context
An insight into the attitudes held by four- to six-year-olds toward people with disabilities: ideas, feelings, and behaviors.
Authors: Puerta Marta Aparicio , Polo Sánchez M. Tamara
Published: October 2023

Everyone is unique and has their own characteristics, interests, and needs. Consequently, schools must be able to cater to this diversity through an inclusive approach that begins in early childhood education. To this end, the necessary support must be implemented, and the wider educational community — particularly classmates — must adopt positive attitudes toward people with disabilities. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the attitudes of early childhood education students toward people with disabilities and the variables that influence these attitudes. For this purpose, a sample of 261 participants completed a questionnaire with the help of an adult. Our findings revealed that the children generally have positive attitudes towards different types of disability. Furthermore, it was found that the type of disability, along with the variables of age, gender, and knowledge, impacted certain dimensions of these attitudes.

Children must accomplish interpersonal tasks and behaviors to have an appropriate relationship. To achieve this goal, the development of social intelligence which is the ability of individuals to understand the feelings, thoughts, and behaviors of others, and respond to them properly, is important. This study aimed to compare the social intelligence of students with and without hearing impairment. This study was descriptive and 122 students from mainstream schools participated (61 students with hearing impairment and 61 without any disability). The Tromso Social Intelligence scale was used to gather the data and analyze it. The results showed that social intelligence and its components (social information processing, social skills, and social awareness) are lower in students with hearing impairment than their peers from the general population. These findings, make us look more into this area and have a plan and appropriate interventions to enhance the skills related to social intelligence in students with hearing impairment.

In vitro Evaluation of Sersia Lancea Root Extract for the treatment of Common Microbial Infections
Authors: Jackalas Kose , Mary Mathew Elizabeth
Published: October 2023

Searsia lancea (SL) has been exploited by native healers in the Southern African region for the treatment of various bacterial and fungal infections. This study was aimed to analyze the antimicrobial activity and the minimum inhibitory concentration of SL root extract against Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, E.coli and Staph aureus. The maceration technique was used as the extraction method. The antifungal and antibacterial activity was determined by the agar well diffusion method. The agar dilution method was used for estimating the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The biological investigations in this study clearly demonstrate the antibacterial and antifungal potential of SL aqueous and organic extract. The aqueous and organic Sersia Lancea root extract achieved zone of inhibition from 17.1-40.2mm against the tested organisms. The order of susceptibility of the pathogens to the tested extracts was found to be S.aureus>Candida Albicans>E.coli>Candida Glabrata. The results of the MIC experiment demonstrate that Candida Albicans and E.Coli were susceptible to the MIC of 3.12mg/mL for the SL distilled water root extract . The MIC of the aqueous extract against Candida glabrata and Staph Aureus were 6.25 and 12.5mg/mL respectively. All the microrgaisms were susceptible to MIC 6.25mg/mL for the DCM extract except for Candida Glabrata with MIC of 12.5mg/mL. The current work has not performed any isolation or structural elucidation studies for the potential compounds responsible for the antimicrobial activity. This is the first report to demonstrate the antibacterial and antifungal property of SL root extract. The results in this work provide scope for future studies to elucidate the structure of potential actives in SL root extract and to test their potential as possible antibacterial and antifungals.

Published: October 2023

The triphenyltin (IV) hydroxide reaction by 2-, 3-, as well as 4-aminobenzoic acid was used to analyze the molecular docking of some triphenyltin (IV) aminobenzoate compounds in this research. These include; triphenyltin (IV) 2-aminobenzoate (2), triphenyltin (IV) 3-aminobenzoate (3) as well as triphenyltin (IV) 4-aminobenzoate (4) were well characterized by means of some spectroscopy techniques and microelemental analysis. The molecular docking was conducted on protein isolated from SARS-Cov-2 virus. The protein chosen was MPro and was docked toward the three compounds synthesized and compared with the commercial drug used for the treatment of virus, boceprevir. Based on the analysis of the energy binding calculation, the result revealed that the energy binding of the compounds 2-4 was -9.74; -9.97 and 10.42kcal/mol, respectively, while for boceprevir was -9.60kcal/mol. These results indicated that the three compounds were stronger as antivirus than the standard drug used, thus they are potentially used and developed as drugs in the treatment of virus SARS-Cov-2.

Published: October 2023

Cardiovascular diseases are considered a major causative factor for the increasing rate of global mortality rate. Rendering to an approximation of the World Health Organization (WHO), 17.9 million people worldwide were affected by cardiovascular diseases. The behavioral risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet, obesity, physical inactivity, and harmful use of alcohol were found to play a significant role in the onset of cardiovascular diseases. Hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia are considered clinical factors associated with the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. Among these clinical factors hyperlipidemia, which is characterized by increased levels of serum cholesterol, is highly related to the pathophysiological mechanism associated with cardiovascular diseases. Several medications are available for lowering abnormal serum cholesterol levels. Lovastatin, which belongs to the class of statins aids in lowering cholesterol levels by inhibiting hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, a significant enzyme required for cholesterol biosynthesis. Lovastatin is also involved in regulating the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. In this study, we explored the association between Lovastatin interacting genes in Hypercholesterolemia pathways with genes associated with Type 2 Diabetes mellitus by employing systems biology approach. Our studies identified the significance of key genes such as BIRC2, LDLR, APOB, CASP3, CASP6, CASP9, XIAP, and APAF1 in the regulation of hypercholesterolemia and type 2 diabetes.

Authors: U. S. Shivsharan , A. H. Hosmani , Y. S. Thorat , R.B. Navale
Published: October 2023

Stimuli Sensitive Drug Delivery Systems have become a promising approach in the field of drug delivery and contributed by use of polymers which are able to deliver drug in response to change in surrounding environmentsuch change in temperature, pH, ionic strength, enzymes or biomolecules. Ocular drug delivery often encounters the problems of low instillation quantity of medicament and also poor residence of drug in the ocular region which decreases the efficiency of the treatment. An ineffective antibacterial treatment would lead to bigger problems like resistance. Hence the current study was undertaken to formulate Ion-sensitive in-situ ophthalmic gelling solution of Tobramycin using Sodium alginate as ion sensitive polymer. The batches were prepared by using 32 factorial designwhere sodium alginate and HPMC K4M were selected as independent variables. The evaluation of various dependent parameters like clarity, viscosity, mucoadhesion and in vitro release was done. The formulations were ensured to be sterileand isotonic. The in-situ gelation occurred when the formulation came in contact with tear fluid with good mucoadhesion and gel strength. The Tobramycin drug release study showed release over a period of more than two hours. In vivoeye irritation test was done on white rabbits.

Marriages with adhal guardians still often occur in society, even though for prospective brides marriage guardians are a requirement for a valid marriage.

Impact of Mobile Banking Platforms Paytm and Google Pay on Financial Inclusion in Rural and Semi-Urban Areas in India
Authors:   Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Ahmedabad, Patel Amanpreet S.
Published: October 2023

This study aimed to investigate the impact of mobile banking platforms, specifically Paytm and Google Pay, on financial inclusion in rural and semi-urban areas in India. The study was motivated by the fact that there had been limited access to formal financial services in these regions, resulting in financial exclusion and diminished economic development. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study combined surveys of 1,200 households, focus group discussions, and interviews with local financial institutions. Findings revealed significant improvement in financial inclusion. Approximately 72% of surveyed households indicated increased ease in carrying out financial transactions, including savings, remittances, and bill payments, using Paytm and Google Pay. Furthermore, local businesses reported a 35% increase in revenue, attributing it to simplified payment processes. Additionally, a 40% decrease in cash-based transactions was observed, which has implications for reducing fraud and increasing transparency. However, the study also identified challenges such as lack of internet connectivity and digital literacy, which acted as barriers to adoption for 28% of surveyed households. The study concluded that mobile banking platforms like Paytm and Google Pay have had a profound and largely positive impact on financial inclusion in rural and semi-urban areas in India. Despite existing barriers, the adoption of these platforms has facilitated easier and more secure financial transactions, contributing to increased economic activities in these areas. Recommendations include launching government-backed digital literacy programs and public-private partnerships for expanding internet infrastructure. Future studies should also consider evaluating the long-term sustainability of these platforms in fostering financial inclusion and exploring the possibility of integrating additional services like insurance and loans.

Assessment of Morphological Variation of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in Ghana
Authors: Jordan, David L
Published: October 2023

Genetic diversity in crops is critical for advanced crop improvement as it provides alternatives for breeders to develop improved cultivars. Traditionally, morphological traits are used to evaluate genetic divergence and classify existing germplasm. Morphological characterization relies on plants possessing different phenotypic traits to identify the individual. Information on the diversity of peanut grown in Ghana is limited. This study was conducted to determine variation in peanut cultivars in Ghana through morphological characterization. Ninety-five accessions of peanut were collected from three sources across five administrative regions of the country that included farmers, open markets, and research institutes. Morphological characterization comprised 31 characters including 11 quantitative and 20 qualitative traits. Seventy-five percent of the accessions belonged to the fastigiata subspecies. The study revealed through cluster analysis that the accessions were only 30% diverse. Principal Component Analysis of the traits showed that yield attributing traits were the main factor that influences dispersion and superior accessions. These traits included seed length, growth habit, pod length, pod width, plant width, and main stem height. This study demonstrates that phenotypic diversity of peanut cultivars in Ghana is limited.
