Authors: Ataur Rahman Mohammad , Sarker Tulisree , Comma Roy Ashley
Published: May 2022

Rural electrification is the lifeblood of rural development in Bangladesh. The study was conducted to examine the socioeconomic conditions of sample households, investigate the impact of rural electrification on user’s livelihoods, and identify the problems and constraints faced by the households. A total of 70 households were randomly selected from Chargobodia and Charkalibari villages of sadar upazila under the Mymensingh district. All of the respondents were clients of the Mymensingh Palli Bidyut Samity-1. Primary data were collected through field survey using an interview schedule. Simple statistical techniques were employed to analyse the data. The DFID livelihood approach was carried used to determine the impact of the rural electrification on livelihood. The findings revealed that the highest 74.29% of the selected respondents belonged to the age group 30 – 64. About 47.14% farmers ended their primary level education and 44.28% did not receive institutional education. About 65.71% respondents’s main occupation was agriculture and 21.43% respondents considered agriculture as subsidiary for their earnings. The overall average family size in the study area was 5.15 persons in a family with dependency ratio 3.33. The average farm size was 237.21 decimal. On the basis of farm category, 5.71% of the respondents belong to landless, 75.72% respondents belong to small, and 12.86% respondent’s medium and 5.71% respondents were a large farm category. An average income and expenditure of the respondents were Tk.270485.71 and Tk.236500 respectively. The all five types of assets such as human, natural, social, physical and financial were positively changed after rural electrification in the study area. Wrong bill, load shading, the high price of electricity, low voltage, damage of electric equipment and difficulty of new meter set up were the main problems and constraints. So, the government should address these issues in the development policies and programmes for rural Bangladesh.

Published: May 2022

Implementing efficient tax policy remains a central concern to leaders. Consequently, this article seeks to analyse the determinants of property tax compliance in Benin to ultimately establish the socio-economic profile of property owners. To achieve this, the article first regresses the partial proportional odds model to identify conditional and inf luential factors to taxpayers’ compliance. This is followed by an exploratory multiple component analysis to build a property tax compliance index to establish a socio-economic profile of property owners. The results from a representative sample of 4 575 individuals have shown that in the presence of factors that measure political and social inf luences, the probability that a taxpayer has good tax morale is estimated at 71,978 per cent. The property tax compliance index value sits at 3,076, confirming that Beninese property owners are mostly non-compliant. It was deduced from these results that the typical Beninese taxpayer is a “social taxpayer” strongly inf luenced by social norms. To improve the level of property tax compliance, the tax administrations of developing countries in general and that of Benin in particular, must implement a tax policy based on taxpayers’ profiles. Further studies on the determination of the optimal property tax rate are essential in order to quantitatively assess the extent to which mobilisation performance can be enhanced by taking taxpayers’ profiles into consideration.
Challenges Facing the Property Tax Collection System: a Case Study of the City of Harare Municipality
Authors: Hamudi Simbarashe
Published: May 2022

This article assesses the challenges facing the City of Harare’s property tax collection system and proposes measures to improve revenue collection. The research used interviews and questionnaires to collect data from the selected sample of 180 respondents that included municipality officials as well as 137 residents of Harare and 43 property tax administrators. The research used Excel to analyse the data. The findings from the study show that Harare Municipality is facing administrative challenges that have impacted its ability to meet revenue targets because they are not digitalised. Moreover, major challenges such as unawareness of property tax, inadequacy in the system and challenges associated with the digital era were also identified. This article suggests that the challenges can be resolved by investing in digital technology, infrastructure, taxpayer education, improving service delivery of water, road maintenance, refuse collection and street lighting, reducing political interference and improving transparency on the use of revenue from property tax.

Published: May 2022

The objective of this paper is to examine the effect of digitalisation on tax revenue mobilisation in Africa. Using panel data from 40 selected african countries over the period 1980-2017, econometric estimates were implemented using the generalised method of moments. Our results indicated that digitisation has both a positive and significant effect on tax revenue mobilisation in Africa over the study period. They also revealed that economic activity, level of education, financial and industrial development are the channels through which digitalisation affects tax revenue mobilisation in Africa. These results urged policy makers to further promote the digitalisation of African economies for better tax revenue mobilisation. Finally, this study encourages African states to formulate policies with a focus on the factors that should lead to economic growth, human capital formation, financial and industrial development.
Constraints to Optimising Revenue Potential in Subnational Governments in Kenya: Lessons from Nairobi City County
Authors: Oguso Alex
Published: May 2022

Optimisation of revenue potential in the subnational governments in Kenya is core to meeting the their recurrent and development expenditure needs without overrelying on national government transfers. However, the subnational governments face constraints that limit their potential to enhance their revenue collections. Therefore, this study examines the constraints to own source revenue (OSR) collections in Nairobi City County (NCC), assesses challenges to optimal collection of parking fees, and identifies measures to address the challenges inherent to the collection of single business permits (SBPs) debts in the county. The study employed desk review and survey design targeting 170 key informants from the NCC Government and the Kenya Revenue Authority distributed across the 17 sub-counties. The study found that the major constraints to OSR collection in the NCC are inadequate revenue collection tools, equipment and machines (82%); inadequate capacity of the debt collection unit to follow taxpayers who default or delay in making payments (68%); poor tax education/awareness within the county (63%); below par adoption of information and communications technology systems combined with the prevalence of manual revenue collection in making payments (58%); inadequate staff numbers to collect the fees and charges (53%); and lack of legal framework (policies, rules and regulations) for collection of all the revenue streams (51%). The study also found that the main challenges to optimal collection of parking fees in the NCC are high parking fees; system failure; insecurity; unmarked parking lots; interference by parking boys; lack of parking spaces, among others. The study makes suggestions for addressing the challenges in the collection of SBPs debts and provides comprehensive recommendations on dealing with the identified constraints to revenue optimisation in the NCC, applicable to other subnational governments across sub-Saharan Africa.

Authors: Ngozi Okafor , Hyacinth Nwonu
Published: May 2022

The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of 7E-Learning Cycle Model (7ELCM) and Lecture Method (LEM) as well as gender influence in promoting secondary school students’ critical thinking skills in chemistry. Two research questions and one hypothesis guided the study. The study adopted a quasi-experimental research design with an overall sample of 146 (66 boys & 80 girls) Senior Secondary Two (SS2) chemistry students of public schools in Lagos State of Nigeria. Data were collected using Lesson Plan on 7ELCM and LEM (LP7L) and adapted Cornell Critical Thinking Test (CCTT). Validity of LP7L and CCTT were determined by two experts in chemistry education. KR 21 was used to determine the reliability of CCTT which gave a reliability coefficient of 0.87. Mean and ANCOVA were used in data analyses. The results showed that secondary school chemistry students exposed to 7E Learning Cycle Model (7ELCM) had higher mean score than students exposed to Lecture Method (LEM) in promoting critical thinking skills. Also, male students taught with 7ELCM and LEM had the highest mean scores than the females in promoting Critical Thinking Skills in chemistry. The study equally showed a significant interactive effect of 7ELCM and LEM on secondary school chemistry students but there was no significant interactive influence of male and female (gender) in promoting critical thinking skills among the secondary school chemistry students taught using 7ELCM and LEM respectively. The paper concludes that chemistry teachers should provide learning opportunities that would make students take ownership of their learning by compelling them to learn meaningfully, think critically, and criticize constructively as a team in solving problematic tasks through the application of 7ELCM irrespective of gender roles and recommends that Ministry of Education and school administrators should organize Train-the-Trainers workshop for all the secondary school chemistry teachers on how to incorporate 7ELCM pedagogy in promoting 21st century skills and improving chemistry students learning outcomes in Lagos State of Nigeria.

Edge Irregular Reflexive Labeling for Some Classes of Plane Graphs
Authors: K. K. Yoong , R. Hasni , G. C. Lau , M. Irfan
Published: May 2022

For a graph G, we define a total k-labeling ϕ as a combination of an edge labeling ϕe(x) →
{1, 2, . . . , ke} and a vertex labeling ϕv(x) → {0, 2, . . . , 2kv}, such that ϕ(x) = ϕv(x) if x ∈
V (G) and ϕ(x) = ϕe(x) if x ∈ E(G), where k = max {ke, 2kv}. The total k-labeling ϕ is called
an edge irregular reflexive k-labeling of G, if for every two edges xy, x0y0of G, one has wt(xy) 6=wt(x0y0), where wt(xy) = ϕv(x) + ϕe(xy) + ϕv(y). The smallest value of k for which such labeling exists is called a reflexive edge strength of G. In this paper, we study the edge irregular reflexive labeling on plane graphs and determine its reflexive edge strength.
Evaluation on Durian var. Musang King Pollination Compatibility Regarding High Fruit Set
Authors: Su Sy Ei Nurlisa , Ismail Mohd Firdaus
Published: May 2022

Durian or Durio zibethinus of variety Musang King is growing in popularity and with high international demands. With the ever-increasing demands for fruits, growers are exploring ways to maximize production by looking at the feasibility of planting single or mono varieties in a planting area. Previous investigations revealed that many durian varieties are self-incompatible, and the condition varies from one variety to another. Against this background, the present study evaluated Musang King’s compatibility status in fruit sets. The study was conducted in Raub, Pahang, from 2017 through 2018 with five different pollination treatments. Crossing Musang King with D24 showed the highest fruit set rate of 16.28% at harvest and suggested this variety is self-incompatible. Observations on the flowering process revealed that Musang King possessed herkogamy condition, which posed a morphological barrier to self-pollination. The study proposes that Musang King is best planted in a multi-variety planting system instead of mono-variety to achieve a higher rate of fruit sets.

Published: May 2022

Musa balbisiana (B genome) has been observed to have a higher tolerance of biotic and abiotic stresses than Musa acuminata (A genome). Ethylene Response Factor 1 (ERF1) is a gene activator for pathogenesis-related proteins (PR proteins) such as basic chitinases and beta-1,3-glucanase. There are numerous ERF1 gene studies about Oryza sativa, but information about the banana ERF1 gene, especially in the B genome (Musa balbisiana “Pisang Klutuk Wulung”), has still not been explored thoroughly. Using annotated genomic data in an A genome (Musa acuminata ssp. malaccensis) and genomic data in a B genome (Musa balbisiana “Pisang Klutuk Wulung”), research on the ERF1 gene can be conducted at the gene sequences and amino acid sequences levels. The Musa acuminata (A genome) ERF1 gene nucleotide sequence was retrieved from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database. The Musa balbisiana (B genome) ERF1 gene nucleotide sequence was identified with the nucleotide Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLASTn) using an A genome ERF1 gene sequence as a query. Both ERF1 gene nucleotide sequences and amino acid sequences in the A and B genomes were annotated and compared. Seven annotated genome ERF1 gene sequences from the A and B genomes were identified with the probability that these genes were actively transcribed in cell activity. ERF1 gene comparisons between the A and B genomes showed that nucleotide composition, gene structure, gene position in each respective chromosome, ERF clusterization, identified motif, and amino acid composition in each of the identified motifs have similar characteristics.
Influence of Commercialism on the Contents of the Indian Media: An Enquiry
Authors: Mukhopadhyay Pallav
Published: May 2022

No one will engage in a dispute that the media have to make profits for survival. Indian media are no exception in this regard. On one hand, it is expected that a media will be sustainable from the stand point of commerce and on the other, follow the path of the interest of commerce considering the profiteering motif only would be unsound and thoughtless for it. It indicates media’s bypassing of the social responsibility and commitment to the society. The objectives of the owners of media are to run media as trade and exercise it for satisfying the interests of their other merchandizes and upholding the culture of spirit of trade and commerce. The aims and objectives of this Paper are to enquire about how commercialism has affected the contents of the media in India. The Paper has followed the Observational and Analytical Method for this enquiry. The misleading trend can be reversed by strengthening the institution of internal ombudsman, the internal mechanism of editorial freedom, formulating a code of conduct for journalists from within the profession and taking initiative to ensure that the guidelines of the Press Council of India are adhered to. Above all, journalists should always remember that media is a public utility service and they are unofficial public servants. Similarly, the fact that the primary objective of media is service and not profit should not be forgotten by the media management. While media should be economically viable, the profit motive should not blind owners and proprietors of the media to perform their role of the social accountability. Therefore, the success of a media-outlet is determined by a correct blending of economic interests, social commitments and professional integrity.

Knowledge and Practice of ANMs regarding Cold Chain Management for Different Categories of Vaccines
Authors: Sahay Priyanka
Published: May 2022

A cold chain is a temperature-controlled supply chain. An unbroken cold chain is an uninterrupted series of storage and distribution activities which maintains a given temperature chain. It can be managed by the Quality Management System. It analyses, measures, controls, documents the supply of vaccines to the reaching point. As a cold chain handler ANMs play an important role in improving the immunisation coverage. In a study, Samant Y, et al (2007) revealed weaknesses in the cold chain mechanism. Cold chain for the oral polio vaccine (OPV) was not adequately managed at primary and sub-health centres in rural areas. In India, at grass root level ANMs are the key persons, who handle the vaccine and equipment. So it was necessary to assess their knowledge and practices about management of cold chain system. Sufficient cold chain space is available at the district and block level. Some PHCs do not have electrical cold chain equipments. Although the breakdown rate is very low for existing cold chain equipments, yet cold chain management is not followed as per prescribed guidelines. Thus, necessary action can be taken for effective management of cold chain to ensure that the children get potent vaccines and are protected from the vaccine-preventable diseases. The management of cold chain system is the most important component of immunisation on which success of the programme depends.

According to the American Cancer Society, more than 1, 93,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed every year with an estimated 40,000 deaths. It is thus very important that women themselves are made aware about the importance of breast self-examination, which is possible through adequate information and motivation by the health care provider itself. With the promise that the incidence of breast cancer is preventable and curable with proper awareness through nurses, an evaluator approach pre-test post-test study involving 50 perimenopausal womens was undertaken. The findings proved that planned teaching can improve the knowledge of the women to a great extent and improve the practice of breast self-examination. Thus, it is possible to reduce the breast cancer-related mortality and morbidity rate through self-examination of the breast.

В статье предоставлен анализ видов заземления нейтралей, который показал, что наиболее перспективными и эффективными в техническом и экономическом плане является совместное использование дугогасящего реактора (ДГР) и резистора. Также было обнаружено, что данный способ заземления нейтрали достаточно эффективен. В нормальном режиме к нейтральной точке сети подключен ДГР с системой автоматической настройкой и компенсации емкостного тока. При замыкании на землю реактор компенсирует периодическую составляющую емкостного тока и снижает величину перенапряжений. Для определения и отключения места повреждения параллельно реактору кратковременно либо постоянно подключается резистор. Таким образом, при дуговых замыканиях на землю, будут проявляться все положительные стороны ДГР, а при металлическом замыкании на землю параллельно ДГР подключается резистор для срабатывания защиты от замыкания на землю. В нормальном режиме к нейтральной точке сети подключен ДГР с системой автоматической настройкой и компенсации емкостного тока. Также переход от режима изолированной нейтрали к заземлению через резистор дает наибольший эффект при металлических однофазных замыканий на землю (ОЗЗ). Резистивное заземления нейтрали позволяет ликвидировать феррорезонансные явления; снизить уровень дуговых перенапряжений; избежать быстрого отключения первого однофазного замыкания на землю в сети при высокоомном заземлении нейтрали.

Констатируется, что целесообразность замены воздушных выключателей более совершенными для уменьшения недоотпуска электроэнергии (НЭ) из-за ненадежности главных схем электростанций, до сих пор, математически не доказывалась. Рассматриваются двадцать кольцевых схем напряжением 330–750 кВ с блоками генератор-трансформатор мощностью 300–1200 МВт с воздушными и элегазовыми выключателями отдельно. Приводятся основные используемые формулы и таблицы расчетных логических связей метода, а также таблицы с результатами расчетов. Излагаются фрагменты расчета НЭ в традиционной схеме шестиугольника напряжением 500 кВ с блоками мощностью 500 МВт. Представляются результаты расчетов недоотпуска таблично-логическим методом Ю.Б. Гука для кольцевых схем. Перед расчетами анализируются режимы, приводящие к НЭ из-за ненадежности схемы, а после – долевое участие в этом недоотпуске каждого элемента схемы и его уменьшение в результате замены воздушного выключателя на элегазовый. Так, участие блоков оценивается в 67,5–94 %, а указанное уменьшение НЭ составляет не более, чем 8 %. Делается вывод о нецелесообразности замены воздушных выключателей на элегазовые в схемах 750 кВ при отсутствии генераторных выключателей и малой эффективности при наличии.

The article describes a device developed by the authors for wave treatment of water-oil emulsion for preparation of water-oil emulsion for combustion. High efficiency of hydrocarbon fuel combustion is one of the main indicators when choosing a method of fuel mixture preparation. The scheme of an innovative vortex burner for combustion of water-oil emulsion is presented. A review of existing equipment for preparation of high quality emulsion is made. The necessity of forced oil dehydration for high quality combustion in burners is refuted. The choice of material for the dispersant body with regard to corrosion, cavitation and wear resistance requirements is presented. The analysis was carried out in order to reveal the relations of transformation of physical-chemical properties of water-oil emulsion (sedimentation and aggregative stability, structural viscosity) from temperature and from the volume of water in them. Knowledge of these physical-chemical parameters is essential to ensure the efficiency of atomization and stable combustion of the fuel under study. A methodology for determining the dynamic viscosity using a capillary viscometer with results obtained in different ranges of temperature changes of emulsified fuel preparation is presented. Data on the density of oil-water emulsion as a function of water concentration at 70 °C was obtained. The dependence of stability of emulsion based on fuel oil M-100 from settling time at 20 °C has been analysed. When using wave treatment dispersant, stable water-oil emulsions are obtained, suitable for use in power engineering as fuel.

Published: May 2022

Este artículo propone contrastar las discusiones y las prácticas que fueron implementadas a lo largo del siglo XIX en relación a los indígenas con los debates que actualmente ocupan la escena pública brasileña sobre este problema. Con este objetivo, toma como referencia los principios y ordenanzas presentes en el Reglamento de las Misiones de 1845, principal documento producido por el Estado en el siglo XIX dedicado a los indígenas. En contraposición, para pensar el momento actual, el análisis se centra en discutir el punto de vista del agronegocio sobre los indios. A partir de esta comparación, el artículo busca problematizar y demostrar los límites de las interpretaciones desarrolladas y vehiculadas por el agronegocio y sus representantes sobre la cuestión de las tierras indígenas.
