Authors: Sendyona Charles Chris , Nakasozi Mercerina
Published: November 2024

This study assesses the effectiveness of the agency banking interventions in deepening financial inclusion in Uganda. The study employed a descriptive research design and purposively collected data from 50 Bank customers and staff of Centenary Bank Ltd. in Kampala District. The data was collected using a self-administered research instrument with an overall Cronbach's reliability coefficient of 0.775 and was analysed using frequency analysis and the p-value approach. The study findings provided evidence that the following agency banking interventions: i) Providing information and ensuring that the excluded were informed about bank products and services, ii) Improving access to formal financial services for poor individuals by introducing delegated credit products to the existing savings groups with complimentary savings accounts. iii) Providing loans to savings groups later benefit individuals within the groups. iv) Encouraging the public to have personal contact with bank agents to obtain information about the banking system. v) Dispelling the myth that banks only exist for the rich had a statistically significant effect (p < 0.05) in deepening financial inclusion in Uganda. However, the agency banking intervention of using the electronic delivery of services to enhance service delivery to people with low incomes in rural areas did not significantly deepen financial inclusion in Uganda. The challenges agency banking faces in deepening financial inclusion in Uganda include unstable networks, liquidity problems, delayed or inadequate communication in case of failed transactions, cash shortages during periods of peak demand, the minimal role of bank agents, and fraud issues on the part of bank agents. It is recommended that the visibility of the agency banking outlets should be enhanced, banks should sensitize the public about agency banking, digital skills, and financial literacy, reduce the state public administration expenditure and channel the savings into infrastructural development in the rural electrification and connectivity improvements areas to enable enhanced delivery of electronic service systems in rural areas, banks in Uganda should closely work with the telecommunications companies for more reliable and stable networks that would guarantee improved delivery of agency banking services, the telecommunications companies should carry out more aggressive marketing campaigns to improve the telephone density in the country, people with adequate financial resources should be appointed as bank agents, comprehensive training in areas of business planning and management to the prospective bank agents before they are formally appointed, monitor the activities of the bank agents on a regular basis, and more due diligence should be exercised when appointing bank agents to avoid agents with questionable backgrounds.
Navigating the Ethical Dilemma of Generative AI in Higher Educational Institutions in Nigeria using the TOE Framework
Authors: Baha Benson Yusuf , Okolo Omachi
Published: November 2024

Generative AI tools stand at the threshold of innovation and the erosion of the long-standing values of creativity, critical thinking, authorship, and research in higher education. This research crafted a novel framework from the technology, organization, and environment (TOE) framework to guide higher educational institutions in Nigeria to navigate the ethical dilemma of generative AI. A questionnaire was used to collect data from twelve higher institutions among lecturers, students, and researchers across the six (6) geopolitical zones of Nigeria. The structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data using the SPPS Amos version 23. The results revealed that factors such as perceived risks of generative AI, Curriculum support, institutional policy, and perceived generative AI trends positively impact the need for a generative AI ethical framework in higher educational institutions in Nigeria. Furthermore, the study contributes to the adoption of theory to navigate the ethical dilemma in the use of generative AI tools in higher educational institutions in Nigeria. It also provides some practical implications that suggest the importance of inculcating ethical discussions into the curriculum as part of institutional policy to create awareness and guidance on the use of generative AI.

Published: November 2024

This paper will show the significance of the Greek term techné, in today's world of technique and technology. In this direction, it is necessary to understand the meaning of the mentioned term as a fundamental term that gives meaning to today's term technique. In addition, the term techné, shows the meaning of the terms originally associated with it, namely knowledge, technique and intelligence. The main goal of the research here is to show that the concept of, techné, in addition to being one of the fundamental concepts of philosophy, is a concept whose meaning we must understand if we want to successfully approach understanding the phenomenon of today, i.e., the rule of information technology and technological progress. All of the above means returning to the source of the term techné, and Martin Heidegger's idea of the technique, which is the question that preoccupies everyone on the planet today.
Cracking the Code: How Deep Learning unmasks Complex Fraud Schemes
Authors: Balamurugan Merlin
Published: November 2024

In the fast-paced and high-stakes world of finance, the fight against fraud is a continuous and evolving challenge. Deep learning has emerged as a revolutionary tool, capable of processing vast amounts of data and predicting sophisticated fraud patterns with unprecedented accuracy. Unlike traditional rule-based systems, which remain static and predictable, deep learning models dynamically adapt to the ever-changing tactics employed by fraudsters, offering a level of detection that was previously unattainable. Our research delves into the use of advanced transformer models and pre-training techniques, which significantly enhance the precision and flexibility of fraud detection systems. However, implementing deep learning is not without its challenges, including issues related to data quality and the inherent complexity of these models, often referred to as their "black box" nature. Despite these challenges, the benefits are substantial: deep learning not only identifies elusive fraud schemes but also reduces the incidence of false positives, which can be costly and disruptive. Financial institutions are increasingly integrating deep learning with traditional detection methods to create a more robust and comprehensive defense against fraud. Advances in explainable AI are helping to demystify these complex models, making them more transparent and easier to understand. Additionally, transfer learning is enhancing the efficiency of these systems, allowing models trained on one task to be adapted for others with minimal data. This research underscores the critical role of deep learning in strengthening financial systems, providing a formidable barrier against fraud that evolves as quickly as the threats themselves. As financial institutions continue to adopt and refine these technologies, the potential for deep learning to transform fraud detection and prevention is immense. This makes deep learning an indispensable asset in the ongoing battle to protect financial integrity and security.
The Current Healthcare Industry in South Africa
Authors: Abbott Simon G. , Sigamoney Claudia
Published: November 2024

The current South African Healthcare (SAHC) system remains a dual healthcare system, consisting of the public and private healthcare sector. Albeit it unevenly distributed from a gross budget perspective, the gross national spend leans disproportionately towards the private sector coverage of healthcare. This equates to R 243Bn serving approximately 20% of the population as opposed to a similar public budgeted spend of R 247Bn serving approximately 80% of the population. In effect, the private sector serves a minority of the employed population. The SA Government has historically made large government Information and Communication Technology (ICT) investments within the public health sector, regionally based, where the return on capital investments have not been realised. The SAHC sector remains siloed. Health technology is advancing globally, and being propagated by the World Health Organisation (WHO) resulting in a global digital health strategy adopted by many countries. The South African National Department of Health (NDoH) has recently subscribed to its own local version of a ‘Digital Health Strategy’, in accordance with the WHO. The South African Public Healthcare technological infrastructure, in its current state, is deficient with many challenges needing urgent upgrading. The proposed digital or ehealth strategy and the proposed National Health Insurance (NHI) will require the reengineering of a national infrastructural and technological (ICT) environment from the ground upwards. Furthermore, this can only be achieved by reengineering the current state of the public healthcare technological infrastructure including the building infrastructure. This will include a transformation of national legislation. These projects and initiatives must be nationally managed within the ambit of improving the management capacity across all regions and districts that needs to be nationally coordinated. This effort can only be achieved by performing synchronised and well-coordinated implementations of such projects nationally across the SA Public Healthcare sector. This includes the integration of healthcare technologies, or national assets, from district to national level. This study provides further insights into these opportunities and challenges currently facing the South African Public Healthcare sector in preparation for the National Health Insurance (NHI) reform currently in review by the President. It further aims to assist in an approach to a solution addressing this national healthcare crisis.
Toward A New Understanding of Personality Organization: The Psychodiagnostic Chart as a Concept and Screening Tool in Mental Health
Authors: Sauku Valbona Habili , Gordon Robert M. , Ibrahimi Silva , Ibrahimi Ervin
Published: November 2024

This study introduces the Psychodiagnostic Chart (PDC) and its later version, the PDC-2, into scientific evidence.The purpose of this work is to describe the utility of a new clinical tool for current and future mental health screening and treatment.The method of the present work is a descriptive qualitative based on previous research and preliminary data of the current study. The current study sample consists of a survey of mental health and psychosocial care providers in Italy (N=1000) regarding their attitudes toward the PDC-2. Regression analyses of the first and second examinations replicated by Ibrahimi et al. (2022-2023) found that affect regulation (or level of defensive functioning) (β = 0.35, t (93) = 6.01, p < 0.001), reality testing (β = 0.32, t (93) (pβ t = 5.02), relationship = 5.02 93) = 3.76, p < 0.001), and identity (β = 0.19, t (93) 3) = 2.69, p < .001). The overall model produced an R2 = .89, indicating that these four components accounted for 89% of the variance in the overall personality organization. Indices of the current research revealed that all predictor variables, including Affect regulation, Reality Testing, Object Relations, and Identity, were shown to have statistical significance for respondents (R2 = .898). RCI and MANOVA test values showed a statistically significant difference in mental health practitioners and synchronous positive attitude engagement compared to the psychosocial assistants for the development of positive attitudes toward the utility of PDC-2 as a screening tool RCI = 7.657; MANOVA, α =, 043; η2 p =, 453; RCI: 0, 19; MANOVA, α =, 075; η2 p =, 901. Other assets assessed for clinical and statistical significance relate to the sample evaluation of the utility of PDC-2 for addressing Personality Organization (PO) compared to other tools,such as MMPI-2RF. Indices show that in the overall PDC-2 for PO is (Z = 9,0987; Sig. = .720) (M = .53; SD = .50) compared to the MMPI-2 R.F. (Z = 2.801; Sig. = .601) (M = 2.16; SD = .560).The authors recommend that using PDC-2 as a standard tool for screening parameters of personality organization is an extraordinary resource for clinical and mental health screening and prevention.

Physicochemical properties of artisanal refined gasoline (ARG), arstisanal refined HHK, regular refined HHK and regular automotive gasoline (RAG) sampled from the Eastern Kolo Creek and a tank farm depot in Delta State, Nigeria were investigated. This was to compare the physicochemical properties of the samples with each other and their compliance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. The finding revealed that the artisanal refined products quality did not comply with ASTM standards. The research octane number, motor octane number, Reid vapor pressure, and specific gravity of RAG were (ASTM) compliant while only the final boiling point of ARG were within ASTM range. Based on the findings, the artisanal refined products might have been poorly refined or adulterated and could constitute problems in automotive engines if used. However, this crude technology can be upgraded and the gasoline quality improved through alkylation, isomerization, and cyclization. Artisanal refiners should be trained to become proficient with the intent of becoming incorporated into the upstream petroleum sector.

Published: November 2024

Este estudio examina el ciclo de vida de los componentes clave en los motores diésel de vehículos militares tipo NPR, empleados por el Ejército Nacional de Colombia. Estos motores son fundamentales para garantizar la movilidad operativa en escenarios exigentes, pero la falta de un análisis detallado del ciclo de vida de sus componentes impacta negativamente en la eficiencia del mantenimiento preventivo, provocando fallas inesperadas y reduciendo la disponibilidad operativa. El análisis se centra en los principales componentes de los motores diésel, como pistones, inyectores, turbocompresores y sistemas de lubricación. Se emplearon métodos cuantitativos para evaluar el desempeño de estos componentes a lo largo de su vida útil, considerando factores como el desgaste, las condiciones de operación y la calidad del combustible. Los resultados revelan que los ciclos de vida reales difieren de los esperados en contextos militares, influenciados por las condiciones de uso intensivo y el entorno operativo. Las conclusiones del estudio destacan la importancia de ajustar los intervalos de mantenimiento preventivo basándose en el análisis del ciclo de vida, lo que permitiría mejorar la eficiencia del mantenimiento, minimizar las fallas imprevistas y aumentar la disponibilidad operativa de los vehículos militares NPR. Se recomienda la aplicación de esta metodología a otros vehículos diésel en el futuro para mejorar la fiabilidad de las flotas militares y optimizar el rendimiento en misiones críticas.

Published: November 2024

Sağlık hizmetleri çalışanlarında görevleri gereği hizmet sunulurken meydana gelen birtakım duyarsızlaşmaları, duygusal açıdan kendini tükenmiş hissetmeleri ve bunun yanında çalışanda kişisel başarı ve yeterlilik duygularındaki azalmalar tükenmişlik olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışma ile Covid-19 pandemi süreci ile sağlık çalışanlarında görülen tükenmişlik düzeylerini araştırmaya yönelik yapılan bilimsel çalışmaların sistematik olarak incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada 2020-2023 yılları arasında yayımlanmış olan makaleler Google Scholar veri tabanından faydalanarak taratılmıştır. Tarama sağlık çalışanlarının Covid-19 sürecindeki tükenmişlik düzeyleri kapsamında olan çalışmaların (sağlık çalışanları, Covid-19, Tükenmişlik düzeyi) anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya dahil etme kriterlerinde; çalışmanın araştırma makalesi olması, Türkçe olması, Türkiye örneklemi olması ve sağlık çalışanı perspektifinde olması kriterleri göz önünde tutulmuştur. Nöbet usulü çalışanlarda tükenmişliğin normal çalışanlara oranla yüksek olduğu ayrıca haftalık çalışma süresinin artışına paralel olarak tükenmişlik seviyesinin yükseldiği, hastalığa maruz kalan çalışanlarda tükenmişliğin daha fazla olduğunu ifade edebiliriz. Sağlık personelinin Covid-19’ un neden olduğu korku ile tükenmişliği arasında anlamlı bir farkın bulunmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Pandemi sürecinde etkisini özellikle sağlık çalışanları üzerinde daha güçlü gösteren belirsiz, değişken, karmaşık ve muğlak ortamların varlığı, çalışan stresi ve tükenmişlik üzerine etkileri olarak tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular incelendiğinde, katılımcıların iş yükü algısı ve tükenmişlik düzeylerinde Covid-19 öncesine göre pandemi sürecinde artışa geçtiği tespit edilmiştir. Sağlık hizmetlerinde pandemi ile mücadelede ön saflarda çalışanlarda iş yükü, duyarsızlaşma ve tükenmişlik seviyelerinin daha yüksek olup; içsel tatmin ve iş tatmini düzeylerinin ise daha düşük olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of using ceftriaxone and cefotaxime antibiotics in hospitalized patients with typhoid fever at Hospital X in Cirebon City. The research method employed was a non-experimental observational study with a retrospective cross-sectional design, utilizing patient medical records from January to December 2023. The study results indicate that ceftriaxone was more frequently prescribed than cefotaxime (69% vs. 31%) at Hospital X. Regarding the reduction of body temperature, ceftriaxone demonstrated higher effectiveness compared to cefotaxime, although there was no significant difference in length of hospital stay between the two treatments. Ceftriaxone was also more effective in returning leukocyte counts to normal compared to cefotaxime.

Tongue-tied: Language-based exclusion at a South African university
Authors: Makeleni Sive
Published: November 2024

The post-apartheid government in South Africa adopted a multilingual education policy to provide education in learners' home languages as a foundation for learning while promoting proficiency in at least two additional official languages. This marked a paradigm shift from the apartheid regime, which was characterised by racial segregation and discrimination, prioritising Afrikaans and English at the expense of indigenous African languages. Although widely celebrated, achieving the multilingual promise ushered in by the democratic dispensation remains a challenge for post-apartheid South African higher education. This study explored students' experiences of language-based discrimination at a selected South African university. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected from 20 purposively sampled final-year students through an open-ended questionnaire that was distributed electronically to students in the Education faculty and analysed thematically. The findings revealed that minority language speakers grappled with feelings of invisibility, alienation, frustration, and exclusion in their academic and social lives, making it difficult for them to engage fully in university life. Various coping mechanisms were also reported, demonstrating the agency of these minority groups; however, these were found to be insufficient. The study thus recommended prioritising inclusive language policies and training that foster lingua-cultural empathy among students and staff, among other things.

Aim: The study aims to highlight methodological issues in estimating exposure to domestic violence (DV). It also aims to provide information on the reasons for underreporting DV cases.
Methodology: The researchers rely on data available in the Unified Criminal Statistics of the Investigating Authority and the Prosecutor's Office to describe the number of victims of domestic violence. They also present some findings of a representative survey.
Findings: Latency is high in cases of domestic violence.  The difficulty in accurately estimating latency is that different data collection methods and different research questions reveal different levels of exposure. Police have a crucial role in the disclosure of DV. The main reason for under-reporting is the emotional state of the victims (including embarrassment and shame) who sometimes would like to keep the abuse a secret.
Value: According to the study, different data collections and methodologies may give different estimations about the number of victims of DV. Information on the reasons for non-reporting can increase the efficiency of professionals, aiming at the prevention and response to domestic violence. In light of the results, especially the high proportion of male victims, further research questions can be identified.

Aim: The purpose of this study is to investigate the communication of the drought (water crisis) of 2022. As water is a vital element, the alpha and omega of survival, the authors should expect the emergence of existential anxieties during related crises that may result in messages being ignored. This makes the communication of the responsible public authority even more difficult. The authors’ aim to make forward-looking recommendations for water professionals in the face of future water crises.
Methodology: In order to help develop more effective crisis communication the authors analysed the National Directorate General for Water Management’s communications before, during and after the crisis (using the method of media monitoring and analysis) and carried out the evaluation based on their own criteria, which were compiled on the basis of the literature. They conclude their summary findings by making recommendations.
Findings: In their opinion, although the communication of the OVF has been characterised by a rapid and accurate flow of information, the role of social responsibility should be strengthened in the future. The proportion of textual and visual content and the choice of publication channels should be reconsidered.
Value: Due to the acceleration of the hydrological cycle, it is likely that in the future humanity will have to prepare for more intense periods of extreme water scarcity. According to satellite gravimetric measurements, the water security of the Carpathian Basin is changing in a negative direction. The authors’ results underline that the emerging climate crisis opens up new dimensions in governmental/authority crisis communication, both in terms of preparedness and response.
