From Multilateralism to Minilateralism- A Conceptual Paradigm
Authors: Fathah M Abdul
Published: October 2022

Scholars have always struggled with the dilemma of interdependence in a world where nation-states have been the basic unit of political organization for over two centuries. As the primacy of the states continued and complex powers shift recurred, the initial optimism in a world government has come crashing down. Scholars have since then turned into diplomatic interaction between the states to analyze how they relate to each other and form cooperative international organizations, among them the multilaterals and its new avatar, the minilaterals. Considering that it is not the absence of platforms for the states to relate each other, but their astonishing diversity that concerns us, we must look into efficiency of each one of them and why states have prioritized some above the others.
The Making of West Asia Forum: Security Factors and Areas of Cooperation
Authors: Fathah M Abdul
Published: October 2022

India, Israel, the UAE, and the US kickstarted a new minilateral forum as the foreign ministers of respective countries met for the first time on October 20, 2021. The minilateral forum, which is often regarded as the New Quad or the West Asia Quad, is said to focus as per the US State Department on “expanding economic and political cooperation in the Middle East and Asia, including through trade, combating climate change, energy cooperation and increasing maritime security.” At a time, fields like economy, technology, energy, and environment are increasingly securitized, this work asks whether there are any latent security factors for participants to come together vis-e-vis the extended West Asia landscape. The paper will look to what extent security factors have contributed to the formation of the forum from the perspective of four member countries. It will conclude by providing a picture of areas of cooperation that are warranted by the coming together of these countries and how each country could take pre-emptive steps to make the forum sustainable.
Indo-Russia Relations: A Political Analysis
Authors: Vavachan Davis
Published: October 2022

Global Political scenario has always been influenced by relations between the states, which in turn affects the global order. The Indo-Russia relations cannot be explained merely as a Bi-lateral relationship. The seven-decade friendship between these two Asian giants should be analysed in the spheres they collaborated in the context of the impressive magnitude of their engagements. The historic relationship had withstood the turbulence of cold war, aftermath of the collapse of USSR and the challenges posed by a unipolar world order. Russia’s resurrection after the Soviet collapse and India’s fast paced development gave these nations new arenas for cooperation and engagement. The purpose of this paper is to study this enigmatic relationship between these two nations using a theoretical approach, drawing from primary and secondary published data. By exploring Indo-Russian relations in the historical and current international scenario, this paper attempts to chart out the scope for furthering constructive engagement in the evolving Indo-Pacific scenario.
Social Benefits of Financial Performance - an Econometric Analysis of Financial Management of Indian Microfinance Institutions (MFIs)
Authors: Jain Nayan
Published: October 2022

The microcredit facilities that are imparted by Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) to the low-income clientele, usually in the form of small loans for microenterprise and income-generating activities have been linked with increasing financial inclusion in India. This study explores the econometric relationship among the aggregate gross loan portfolio, operational efficiency and average number of active borrowers of MFIs in India with the understanding that financial exclusion renders the poor vulnerable to monetary shocks. It was observed that healthy aggregate gross loan portfolio (considered here as a proxy for asset position) and operational efficiency (ratio of administrative expenses to financial revenue) of an MFI does not hamper financial inclusion (number of active borrowers) in the society, rather better financial performance of MFIs improves the financial inclusion at the macro level. Hence, financial performance of an MFI does not come at the cost of social performance. The research paper further provides impetus to the policy makers in India to corroborate the MFIs with large asset values to efficiently allocate their resources to sustain a large number of borrowers.
India, China, and the South China Sea: Presence, Implications, and Possibilities
Authors: Manhas Neeraj Singh
Published: October 2022

The Chinese presence in the South China Sea has been a long-standing issue involving many countries, particularly India. China is spreading its print to Southeast Asian countries, particularly Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Brunei, Philippines, and is now reaching out to the Solomon Islands in the Pacific. China has also conducted military surveillance in these areas and erected communications and logistics structures like ports, military stations, and airfields. These developments are a matter of concern for countries even outside the SCS littoral. India's trading interests with Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asian countries, and across the Pacific account for over 55 percent of its trade passing via SCS. China's expanding militarization, therefore, poses a substantial threat of interruption to India, particularly when relations deteriorate. In the light of these factors, this paper attempts to evaluate: a) what does Chinese presence in the South China Sea mean? b) what are the implications for India? c) How has India responded to these implicit challenges, and (d) What are the options for India to protect its national interests and trade in this scenario? Considering that geopolitical challenges need revamping of policy frameworks and institutionalized response, this paper will attempt to outline policy options for India, relying upon primary and secondary sources for its analysis.

Published: October 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the lives of the entire population of the world. The effect is also experienced by university students who must be independent in learning. Therefore, self-regulation is needed in the management of their life at the university. The concept of self-regulation is an individual's belief about his ability to plan and control behavior. Students at university need these factors to ensure that the patterns of thinking and feeling produced are in line with their actions of completing tasks and at the same time control their behavior from harmful social and environmental effects. Demographic factors such as gender, ethnicity, place of residence of students, field of study and duration of study are focused as variables that are assumed to influence differences in student self-regulation. This study was conducted using a quantitative method involving 590 students of Universiti Malaysia Sabah who were selected through random sampling. The Adolescent Self-Regulation Inventory instrument was used to obtain feedback from the sample. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 26.0 software. The results of the study found that self-regulation does not differ significantly based on gender, ethnicity, student's place of residence, field and period of study. This study contributes to the addition of psychological knowledge related to student self-regulation during the Covid-19 pandemic.

THE EFFECT OF EXCHANGE RATE UNCERTAINTY ON DOMESTIC INVESTMENT IN ETHIOPIA
Authors: Nuru Naser Yenus , Gidey Hiluf Techane
Published: October 2022

There is no yet clear theoretical and empirical consensus on the relationship between exchange rate uncertainty and domestic investment. The main purpose of this study, therefore, is to examine the effect of real effective exchange rate uncertainty on domestic investment for the Ethiopian economy over the sample period 1992Q1- 2016Q1. To address this objective, Jordà’s (2005) local projection method is employed and generalized impulse response functions are generated in this study. The impulse response functions exhibit that one standard deviation shock in exchange rate uncertainty stimulates domestic investment for the Ethiopian economy. In response to one standard deviation shock in exchange rate uncertainty, domestic investment increases to around 4 percent at the second quarter. This may indicate the existence of risk neutral or insensitive domestic investors to exchange rate uncertainty in Ethiopia. As to the effects of other control variables, domestic investment also increases in response to real income and real effective exchange rate shocks. The effect of inflation shock on domestic investment is positive and statistically significant up to the eighth quarter, and negative and significant afterwards.

Contribution of Effective Learning in Educational System
Authors: Dr. Harish Purohit
Published: October 2022

Nowadays Learning Management Systems (LMS) are not restricted to distant uses. Nevertheless, the pedagogical expressiveness of designed courses is strongly dependent on the teacher’s knowledge and expertise about the targeted platform. The funded Graphic project aims to help teachers in focusing on the specification of pedagogically sound and technically executable learning designs. To this end, we propose to support teachers by providing an LMS-specific Visual Instructional Design Language (VIDL). This paper proposes a specific LMS- centered approach for raising the pedagogical expressiveness of its implicit learning design semantics. We discussed, in accordance to the activity theory, how the LMS low-level parameterizations could be abstracted in order to build higher- level building blocks. Based on the Moodle application, we present and illustrate our approach by formalizing the abstract syntax of a Moodle-dedicated VIDL.

Authors: Vivian Nyaata
Published: October 2022

The aim of this study was to find out the protection of children on the move at the East African community border posts during Covid 19 pandemic. A visit to any East African border posts shows that COVID 19 Communication and protection measures are directed toward adults, not children. This is despite the fact that children are not only affected by COVID but are also border post users. More than this, the poor economic climate caused by the Corona pandemic has also led to the rise of children on the move being at risk in several ways. There are numerous challenges that children on the move have had to endure across the EAC borders. It is clearly evident that these challenges have only been exuberated by the covid-19 pandemic. However, despite its many shocks, the pandemic has presented an opportunity for EAC partner states to reassess their strategies and protection mechanism where children on the move are involved. The study recommends that the principle of non-discrimination and inclusion at all stages of the checkpoint should be adopted, as well as adopting effective communication mechanisms and relaying child-friendly information, child participation in the decision-making process to establish the views and needs of the children on the move.

THE USE OF GENETIC BUTTON MEDIA IN IMPROVING BIOLOGY LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT OF CLASS XII SCIENCE STUDENTS OF SMA NW MATARAM WITH THE LEARNING MODEL OF THE STUDENT TEAM-ACHIEVEMENT GROUP FOR THE 2019-2020 ACADEMIC YEAR
Authors: Mahnep Mahnep
Published: October 2022

Berdasarkan pengalaman dan pengamatan penulis bahwa proses pembelajaran biologi di SMA NW Mataram, umumnya masih menggunakan pola pendekatan yang bersifat klasikal, guru lebih mendominasi proses pembelajaran dengan metode ceramah, membaca, mengerjakan tugas-tugas dan latihan menjawab soal-soal. Sedangkan siswa hanya duduk, mendengar, mencatat, menghafal, dan mengerjakan latihan soal. Sehingga penulis mencoba alternatif dalam menggunakan media dalam proses pembelajaran, salah satunya dengan media kancing genetika yaitu pembelajaran dengan menggunakan alat bantu berupa benda yang mirip kancing. Media kancing genetika ini biasanya dipakai pada materi pembelajaran pewarisan sifat. Selain menggunakan media juga diterapkan model pembelajaran Tim Siswa-Kelompok Prestasi yaitu suatu model pembelajaran kooperatif, yang menekankan pada kerja sama kelompok dalam memahami materi yang diajarkan. Pemakaian media dan model pembelajaran ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan prestasi belajar siswa dan meningkatkan pemahaman siswa  Dalam penelitian ini yang menjadi subyek penelitian adalah siswa SMA NW Mataram, kelas XII IPA semester V (ganjil), tahun pelajaran 2019/2020. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan hasil evaluasi belajar siswa, rata-rata nilai test pada siklus I sebesar 7,03 dengan prosentase  kelulusan klasikal adalah 76,92 %.  Selanjutnya rata-rata test pada siklus II adalah 6,43 dengan prosentase kelulusan klasikal 78,57%, terjadi peningkatan pada prosentase kelulusan, sedangkan rata-rata mengalami penurunan. Berikutnya rata-rata nilai test siklus III adalah 6,74 dengan prosentase kelulusan klasikal 85,71%, juga terjadi kenaikan yang sesuai dengan indicator keberhasilan yaitu 85 % untuk hasil evaluasi secara klasikal. Demikian juga dengan hasil penilaian observasi pada kegiatan guru dalam pembelajaran, secara umum menunjukkan hasil kategori sangat baik yaitu mencapai 78 % pada siklus I, 80,60% pada siklus II dan 86,10% pada siklus III. Dari hasil penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa penerapan media kancing genetika dengan model pembelajaran Tim Siswa-Kelompok Prestasi, pada pembelajaran  biologi dapat meningkatkan prestasi belajar siswa dan dapat meningkatkan pemahaman siswa tentang kompetensi dasar yang ada pada mata pelajaran biolo

Desa Eco Friendly merupakan desa sehat ramah lingkungan ditinjau dari aspek kesehatan tanah dan kualitas pangan. Kesadaran masyarakat terkait pengelolaan sampah di Desa Banyuwangi terbilang masih kurang. Masyarakat kerap kali membuang sampah sembarangan, seperti ke lahan kosong, lapangan, selokan, dan tempat lain. Selain itu masyarakat sering melakukan pembakaran sampah yang dapat mencemari udara, serta sampah yang tidak dipilah antara organik dan anorganik. Untuk itu, kami bekerja sama dengan pihak desa dalam program desa eco friendly dalam bentuk penyuluhan dan bakti sosial tentang pengelolaan sampah. Tujuan diadakannya kegiatan ini yaitu “Untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan kesadaran masyarakat untuk menjaga kebersihan lingkungan dan pengelolaan sampah yang baik”.  Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan ini dilakukan dalam bentuk bakti sosial sekaligus sosialisasi kepada masyarakat mengenai pentingnya pemilahan sampah dan pengelolaan sampah yang baik serta pentingnya menjaga lingkungan. Alat ukur yang dipakai untuk melihat tingkat keberhasilan program yaitu menggunakan deskriptif kualitatif, di mana kami melakukan wawancara dan observasi untuk melihat perubahan sikap warga masyarakat apakah telah tumbuh kesadarannya untuk melakukan pengelolaan sampah dengan baik. Kegiatan ini mampu memberi perubahan bagi individu masyarakat menjadi lebih sadar akan pengolahan sampah, cara memilah sampah organik dan anorganik. Selain itu, pembuangan sampah rumah tangga menjadi lebih terarah dikarenakan pihak desa sudah menyediakan tempat penampungan sampah sementara yang nantinya akan dikelola langsung oleh pihak desa dan masyarakat.

Masyarakat adat yang masih tetap eksis, telah memelihara kearifan lokal menjadi bagian yang tidak terpisahkan dari kehidupan sehari-hari dan menjadi dasar bagi solusi terhadap permasalahan yang terjadi di masyarakatnya. Manusia memandang sebuah rumah tidak hanya sebagai tempat tinggal dan tempat bernaung, namun terdapat dimensi citra yang menyebabkan adanya pemaknaan pada bangunan serta ruang tempat tinggalnya.  Dalam konstruksi bangunan tempat tinggal seperti rumah sederhana keberadaan pintu tentu menjadi kebutuhan dasar yang wajib ada. Salah satu kriteria pintu yang baik adalah tahan terhadap cuaca dengan memiliki bahan daun pintu yang baik, tidak mudah lapuk, dan juga tidak mudah mengalami susut (memuai atau melengkung). Umumnya daun pintu dibuat menggunakan bahan kayu karena menambah nilai estetika pada konstruksi bangunan dengan berbagai pola serat dan tekstur kayu yang unik. Namun di sisi lain, kondisi hutan sebagai sumber produksi kayu saat ini semakin buruk. Hal ini juga berdampak terhadap kayu berkualitas baik yang sulit didapat dan semakin mahal harganya. Perkembangan teknologi dalam bidang material konstruksi memberikan alternatif penggunaan daun pintu menggunakan material baja, kaca, PVC, dan beton ringan. Penggunaan beton ringan mulai banyak di gunakan sebagai material daun pintu karena lebih tahan terhadap cuaca, memiliki ukuran yang stabil dan tidak lapuk dimakan rayap. Secara ekonomis harga daun pintu berbahan beton ringan relatif lebih murah jika dibandingkan dengan harga daun pintu kayu dengan spesifikasi yang setara. Pada PKM ini adalah percontohan pemasangan pintu beton ringan berbahan pasir, semen, dan styrofoam, yang merupakan inovasi ramah lingkungan. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini berfokus pada percontohan penggunaan pintu berbahan beton ringan sebagai alternatif pintu kayu di lingkungan Kampung Adat Kesepuhan Sinar Resmi kecamatan Cisolok Kabupaten Sukabumi. Hal ini sejalan dengan kearifan budaya lokal desa setempat yang sangat memperhatikan kelesatrian lingkungan. Dengan adanya kegiatan PKM ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan pemahaman masyarakat mengenai alternatif pintu berbahan kayu serta memberikan pengetahuan lebih dalam tentang kelebihan dari pintu berbahan beton ringan.

Решение нелинейного обыкновенного дифференциального уравнения Ермакова степенными рядами
Authors: Беляева Ирина Николаевна , Кириченко Игорь Константинович , Чеканова Наталья Николаевна
Published: October 2022

Нелинейные дифференциальные уравнения достаточно широко используются в различных современных науках. В частности, нелинейное обыкновенное дифференциальное уравнение Ермакова успешно применяется для решения задач в квантовой механике, электродинамике, в оптике, в теории упругости, для описания молекулярных структур, в гетероструктурах со сложной потенциальной функцией и во многих других разделах теоретической и математической физике. Однако эффективного метода решения нелинейных уравнений типа уравнения Ермакова в настоящее время нет. К примеру, при решении задач на собственные значения современные авторы уравнение Ермакова вычисляли прямыми численными методами. Как известно из работ самого Ермакова и других известных авторов, решение уравнения Ермакова определяется двумя линейно независимыми решениями подходящего так называемого присоединенного линейного дифференциального уравнения второго порядка. Теория интегрирования линейных дифференциальных уравнений степенными рядами математически строго разработана, в частности, для присоединенных линейных уравнений к уравнению Ермакова доказана сходимость степенных рядов, представляющих решение присоединенных линейных дифференциальных уравнений. В настоящей работе эти линейно независимые решения присоединенного линейного уравнения были вычислены в виде степенных рядов с применением компьютерной системы аналитических вычислений MAPLE, и для ряда уравнений Ермакова построены их решения в виде степенных рядов, в общем, с произвольным максимальным показателем степени. Непосредственной подстановкой было показано, что так полученные степенные ряды удовлетворяют уравнению Ермакова. Полученные решения в виде степенных рядов, содержащих также и спектральный параметр, могут быть успешно применены к решению задач на собственные значения, в частности для решения стационарного уравнения Шредингера.

An amendment to Annex VI of the protocol of 1997 to amend the international convention for the prevention of pollution from ships was adopted by the International Maritime Organization in October, 2018. Annex VI regulations provides regulations for the prevention of air pollutions from ships, to comply with this requirement, Alternative Marine Power or shore base marine power is seen as an attractive option. Ship owners and other stakeholders in the shipping industry are worried with this development especially combining the cost of diesel and electricity and initial cost of cold ironing project. This study therefore is on comparative study of shore base marine power application as an air pollution mitigation technology in Nigeria seaports. Research objectives and hypotheses were formulated, data were sources from many sources and analyzed. The results of the analysis indicated available air mitigation technology for vessels, it also showed that the cost of cold ironing in Nigeria seaport when compared with the cost of electricity in other countries is significant; recommendations were made based on the results and findings.
