Shaping the Santri’s Inclusive Attitudes through Learning in Pesantren: A Case Study of Pesantren Al-Anwar Sarang Rembang Indonesia
Authors: Rohman Abdul , Muhtamiroh Siti
Published: March 2022

Pesantren (Islamic boarding school), a place for religious learning, has been tarnished because it is considered as a breeding ground for extremism and radicalism. This paper aims to examine the view that pesantren is not an institution for radicalism to be seedbed. However, it is an institution that is open, inclusive, and can accommodate modernity. In line with that idea, three questions could be formulated. First, how is the learning curriculum in pesantren? Second, how is the implementation of learning in pesantren? Third, how is the portrayal of inclusive graduates as the learning impact in pesantren? This study uses qualitative research with curriculum/materials and learning methods in pesantren as the object of the study. The data were collected from sources such as kyai (preacher), ustadz, santri (Islamic boarding school students), graduates, administrators of pesantren who were selected by purposive sampling, with documentation study methods, observations, and interviews. The analysis uses a descriptive method to portray the entire curriculum and learning conditions conducted in pesantren. Then they were analyzed interpretively to see the relationship between the formation of santri's inclusive attitudes. This study shows that the curriculum and learning methods have a significant role in shaping the students' attitudes. A sequential-comprehensive curriculum structure and discursive learning methods will form an inclusive (open and tolerant) student personality. Therefore, other pesantren(s) need to transform towards a discursive curriculum and learning to lead to inclusive students.

The Tradition of Humanistic Consciousness in Marxian Materialism
Authors: Wang Zheng
Published: March 2022

Traditionally, the researchers of Marx ignored the Epicurean roots for the maturation of Marxian thoughts, insisting that Marx was engaged in it only during his writing of the doctoral dissertation of 1841. Indeed, Epicurus played a decisive role in Marx’s subsequent works, although this reality is not explicitly mentioned. Epicurean atomism, through the theory of the declination of the atom, refers to a utilitarian consciousness for realizing human freedom and ethics. From the heretical tradition of humanism, Marx inherited Epicurean materialism as an important source of the “materialism of freedom”, a materialism that may be considered as a philosophy of emancipation. Besides the freedom of nature from which it ultimately derives, this Marxian idea also combines with that of Epicurus in terms of history: Marxian historiography is actually narrating history in the present, by which we can recall our lack of humanity.

Published: March 2022

This study examines conceptually the relevance of the audit committee financial expertise to financial reporting timeliness of a firm. The methodology adopted in this study is library research whereby relevant and extant literature related to the audit committee financial expertise and financial reporting timeliness. Audit committee financial expertise was x-ray from the perspective of accounting financial expertise and the non-accounting financial expertise. Observations from the study highlights that the presence of accounting financial experts in an audit committee is an important element that mitigate reportorial challenges and motivates financial reporting timeliness. The study recommends that financial experts in the audit committee should be given more power to enable them discharge their duty effectively and efficiently, the definition of audit committee financial expertise should not relegate other relevant profession to the background, and the impact of the audit committee financial expertise on audit expectation gap should be considered when appointing members of the audit committee.

It is time to get virtual: limitations of shared e-scooter mobility points, case study in Cracow (Poland)
Authors: Pistelok Paweł , Štraub Daniel
Published: March 2022

Underpinned by the shift towards implementing solutions supporting sustainable mobility, shared e-scooter services are evergreen in many urban areas worldwide. However, their growing use leads to new challenges connected with their operation in the urban space. This article showcases instruments called mobility points, designated to define, and improve parking practices of shared e-scooters. To evaluate the potential of mobility points fieldwork was conducted into the vectorization of shared e-scooters’ operational zones and mobility points in Cracow. The study proves that the mobility points’ visual and technical organization is adequate and thought-out in ways based on functions of the areas they are placed in. However, due to insufficient cooperation between the private and public sectors that would ensure the mobility points are virtually implemented into the service operation, the mobility points’ potential to solve parking issues is low. This calls into question their role in the sustainable mobility agenda.

Recent discussion on the source of uniqueness in English singular which-question has debated whether this is due to a general requirement that questions have a maximally informative true answer (Dayal 1996), or whether uniqueness islexically triggered by which (Hirsch & Schwarz 2020). We present novel data from Brazilian Portuguese which argue that at least some wh-interrogatives are lexical triggers for uniqueness.
Institutional barriers and perspectives in creating an innovative economy in Russia
Authors:   Central Economics and Mathematics Institute of Russian Academy of Science, Nikonova A.A.
Published: March 2022

Institutional changes are analyzed; estimates are obtained that indicate the negative dynamics of innovative shifts in the economy for a number of parameters, despite to improve some components of the institutional and business environment. In carrying out such an analysis, we distinguished between country specificities and the framework conditions of the institutional environment for innovation. Based on the results of an empirical analysis of the institutional conditions for the creation, absorption and diffusion of innovations in Russia, key institutional constraints are formulated that restrain the innovative activity of domestic enterprises. The research methodology is based on the provisions of the systemic economic theory developed under the leadership of G. B. Kleiner at CEMI RAS. The validity of the conclusions is supported by the latest data from official statistics and major international organizations, as well as confirmed by the results obtained by leading Russian and foreign researchers and experts. The directions for improving the functions of institutions to stimulate, regulate and coordinate the interaction of the participants in innovation processes are proposed, guided by the requirements of the systemic paradigm aimed at harmonizing the interaction of all sectors in an integral socio-economic system in order to concord entrepreneurial activity, develop human potential, and intellectualize the economy.
Management of a modern enterprise on the basis of the intelligence-based theory of the firm
Authors:   Central Economics and Mathematics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kleiner G.B.
Published: March 2022

The article focuses on the connection between the theory of the firm and methods of enterprise management. It is shown that during the formation of the knowledge economy, the theory of the firm, based on the leading role of intelligence in solving the problems of enterprise management, acquires special significance. The dynamics of such factors as intelligence, coordination, purposefulness and erudition of an enterprise requires the organization of control loops for the reproduction and production cycles of these factors. In this regard, the feasibility of the system development of intellectual, value-based, coordination-consolidation, information-cognitive types of management in enterprises is substantiated. The proposed principles of enterprise management on the basis of the intelligence-based theory of the firm are scaled to the level of society as a whole. The intellect of society should become the leading factor in its development along with spirituality, consolidation and information connectivity of the structure of society.
Creative Person in the Economy of the Future
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Buzgalin A.V.
Published: March 2022

The article shows that in the economy of the future, the dominant position of creative activity will be more and more prominent. The attributes of creative activity are highlighted. Moreover, the author argues the thesis about the need of developing a space in which intellectual private property is initially supplemented, and then replaced by the everyone’s ownership of everything; equal access to personal development resources (education, etc.), cultural benefits is ensured; the idea of the importance of advancing the development of the public sector is being elaborated on. The author also shows that in the modern economy, which is defined in the article as late capitalism, creative activity is inconsistently associated with the relations of hiring and bending the creator to market conditions. The contradiction of the two principles that are characteristic of every creative worker acting in modern conditions both as a homo creator and as a homo economicus is discussed. It is shown that creative workers employed in the public sector are gradually forming a new social stratum - the socialitat. The expediency of carrying out deep reforms at the starting point, and further qualitative changes in the economy, aimed at the birth of the «realm of freedom», the relations in which remove the boundaries of the development of creative activity generated by socio-economic alienation, is substantiated. In conclusion, the question is raised whether a society dominated by creative activity will become qualitatively different not only from capitalism, but also from any other socio-economic system of the past.
Growth factors of the economy of Russia regions: structuralist approach
Authors:   Institute of Regional Economy Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kuznetsov S.V. , Yakishin Y.V. ,   Institute of Regional Economy Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: March 2022

Structural adjustment is most often viewed by modern domestic economists as a means of reducing oil and gas dependence and increasing the security of the Russian economy. At the same time, a structuralist approach, which is based on the assumption that structural improvements can lead to economic growth, was developed abroad in the middle of the 20th century. However, the economic mainstream is dominated by the neoclassical approach, where capital, innovation and institutions are recognized as the main factors of economic growth. Our research has shown that the role of restructuring is underestimated. A hypothesis emerged – structural adjustment could be a driver of economic growth. The purpose of this article is to show that the hypothesis put forward is an objective pattern of structural transformation. On the basis of a comparative analysis of neoclassical and structuralist approaches, supplemented by an investigation of the basic properties of the structure of the economy, the following problems are solved. The phenomenon of dualistic causality of traditional concepts and structuralist views is revealed. It is substantiated that the considered concepts are not alternative, as it was believed, and are not complementary. The factors of economic growth studied in them are inseparable. It is shown that in a dirigist economy, which is typical for Russia and its regions, impacts on basic structure properties can become the main internal impetus for economic growth. The directions of balanced impact on the structure by measures covering the main and supporting areas of economic activity are determined. These include the modernization of the architecture and the spatial structure of the economy, as well as the functional structures of the main and supporting types of activity. The authorities of the region, acting within the framework of the functions of the regulator, in the development and implementation of the structural and investment policy can create favorable conditions for the priority development of industries-drivers with high innovation potential, improvement of the production and financial infrastructure, infrastructure for the development of innovations. At the same time, the restructuring of sectoral and technological structures should be accompanied by changes in the institutional, personnel and other supporting structures.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a tool to solve engineering problem. Commercial CFD code are being used most engineering problem but rarely for external aerodynamic problem due some limitation of features. Compare to in house CFD code that able to written in certain area of interest and also implement specific discretization scheme to increase accuracy. In this work, the CFD code are developed by using high resolution scheme (ROE scheme and TVD scheme) for flow past through airfoil NACA 0012. Experimental result of wind tunnel is obtained from literature which are from Gregory and O’Reilly at Mach number M = 0.13 for different values of angle of attack at α= 0° and α = 10°. Another wind tunnel result from Haris at Mach number = 0.8 for different angles of attack α= 0° and α= 3.86°. Comparison results from the both codes indicate that developed CFD code by using TVD scheme able to give the closest result for both experimental.
Mixture Model for a Parametric Study on Turbulent Convective Heat Transfer of Water-Al2O3 Nanofluid
Authors: Suaib Al Mahmud  , Ahmad Faris Ismail  , Jamirul Habib Bappy  , Wazed Ibne Noor
Published: March 2022

Nanofluids have become a point of intense interest for its usability in sectors where convective heat transfer is a requirement. Whereas knowing the overall thermal transport characteristics of nanofluids is the key for their proper utilisation, the domain of nanofluids turbulent convective heat transfer is still heavily understudied, where conducting a parametric study on their heat transferring behaviour along with assessing the effect of boundary conditions on their heat transfer enhancement and the available CFD models’ efficiency to account for nanoparticle size are vital necessities. In this study, highly turbulent flow of nanofluids inside a circular pipe under constant wall temperature has been simulated using the Mixture model. Correlations between all the parameters related to nanofluids turbulent convective heat transfer have been established and the impact of variable temperature boundary condition on nanofluids heat transfer enhancement has been investigated. In addition, Mixture models’ ability to assess nanoparticle size variation on heat transfer of nanofluids has been shown. Results suggest that nanofluids heat transfer is dominated by the amount of nanoparticle concentration present in the base fluid when Reynolds number is kept constant. Also, for a certain particle concentration, intensification of heat transfer is guided by the degree of turbulence. The findings also depict that nanofluids heat transferring capability is independent of the temperature boundary conditions used and Mixture model is unable to assess the change in heat transfer due to variation in nanoparticle size.
Courtiser l’État et traquer les djihadistes : mobilisation, dissidence et politique des chasseurs-miliciens dogons au Mali
Authors: Quidelleur Tanguy
Published: March 2022

Comment se construit une milice légitimiste dans le Mali contemporain, en particulier dans un contexte de lutte contre des groupes djihadistes ? Cette enquête met en lumière la façon dont les chasseurs-miliciens dogons sont devenus des défenseurs de leur communauté, mais aussi des partenaires fluctuants de l’État dans la « guerre contre le terrorisme ». Tandis que l’État – pourtant souvent décrit comme failli – se révèle être un acteur central dans la production des violences, des acteurs politiques spécialisés dans l’intermédiation apparaissent, qui endossent des rôles de courtiers, dans un contexte d’internationalisation du conflit. Ces élites miliciennes mettent en avant leur « autochtonie » et leur implication dans la guerre contre les djihadistes pour négocier leur place et s’assurer des trajectoires sociales ascendantes. L’utilisation du lexique local dans des configurations nationales comme transnationales renforce ainsi les assignations identitaires et favorise le prolongement des conflits.
Les élections législatives de 2020 en Jordanie : stratégies et modalités de conquête de l’espace politique
Authors: Abescat Camille
Published: March 2022

À partir des données collectées au cours d’une enquête de terrain conduite en Jordanie pendant les élections législatives de 2020, j’étudie les modalités de campagne et les stratégies de mobilisation électorale des candidats. Je m’intéresse en particulier à leurs pratiques territoriales, c’est-à-dire à l’organisation de leurs campagnes dans l’espace de la circonscription électorale. En suivant trois candidats dans leurs circonscriptions respectives, je montre d’abord que le choix de l’électorat et de l’espace de mobilisation dépend de leurs représentations de la configuration électorale, de leurs trajectoires ainsi que des ressources et moyens en leur possession. J’analyse ensuite la façon dont ce choix affecte leurs méthodes d’investissement du territoire, tant en termes de répertoires d’actions (porte-à-porte sur un territoire limité, mobilisation d’un électorat catégoriel « a-spatialisé » sur des thèmes précis, délégation à une organisation partisane) que de localisation de ces pratiques à travers la circonscription.
L’ONU : un tiers (dé)politisant ? Médiations et conflictualités dans la mise en place du Forum national des femmes au Burundi (2012-2014)
Authors: Saiget Marie
Published: March 2022

Entre 2012 et 2014, la mise en place du Forum national des femmes a fait l’objet d’une importante controverse au Burundi, opposant les associations de femmes au parti au pouvoir. L’ONU Femmes, qui était l’un des principaux bailleurs du Forum, a été prise à partie. Ce cas d’étude permet d’aborder la question de la participation des organisations internationales à la (dé)politisation de la représentation des femmes dans un pays ayant connu un conflit armé. À rebours de l’hypothèse d’une seule dépolitisation, je montre, en mobilisant la notion de tiers , que l’action de l’agence onusienne est plus équivoque. En effet, l’ONU Femmes s’est tout d’abord posée en tiers structurant du conflit relatif à cet enjeu, réactivant en cela une dispute ancienne entre les institutions politiques et les associations de femmes ; puis en tiers neutre, cherchant à apaiser les antagonismes en mobilisant des normes universelles ; enfin, en tiers exclu, lorsque, non reconnue en tant que médiatrice, elle a rouvert un espace de débats sur les droits et les devoirs de l’État, de la société civile et de la communauté internationale dans la représentation des femmes et la défense de leurs revendications.
La « crise » du droit de grève à l’OIT : genèse d’une mobilisation patronale transnationale
Authors: Louis Julien
Published: March 2022

En 2012, pour la première fois de sa longue histoire, l’Organisation internationale du travail (OIT) voit son système de contrôle des normes internationales du travail paralysé par un conflit interne initié par le groupe des employeurs lors de la Conférence internationale du travail. Les délégués patronaux contestent en effet la protection du droit de grève par la Convention n o  87 ainsi que la légitimité de la Commission d’experts pour l’application des conventions et des recommandations à interpréter cette Convention. J’analyse ce conflit inédit comme une mobilisation patronale transnationale dont il convient d’expliquer la genèse. Je présente tout d’abord les raisons de ce conflit : d’une part, les évolutions de l’OIT depuis la fin de la guerre froide ; d’autre part, l’audience accrue des normes internationales du travail. Je propose ensuite une analyse sociologique des entrepreneurs de la mobilisation. Je montre qu’il s’agit d’avocats issus de grands cabinets anglo-saxons spécialisés dans le conseil antisyndical. Ceux-ci se caractérisent par un style juridique antagoniste ( adversarial legalism ), qui se situe à rebours de la logique du consensus tripartite de l’OIT.
Liberté et autorité, un défi pour l’éthique
Authors: Biancu Stefano
Published: March 2022

La crise des formes traditionnelles d’autorité se fonde sur un conflit devenu à son tour traditionnel entre l’autorité et la liberté. Repenser ce conflit demande de reconnaître ce que l’on pourrait appeler la « généalogie » de la liberté. Si, juridiquement et politiquement, la liberté doit être reconnue « immédiatement » comme un droit universel, éthiquement et anthropologiquement, cette immédiateté risque de se réduire à une abstraction sans consistance. L’article se propose de montrer que l’immédiateté abstraite (qui doit être) reconnue au niveau juridico-politique se fonde concrètement sur certaines médiations éthiques et anthropologiques indépassables, qui se présentent comme des « autorités ».

Published: March 2022

Education provides the opportunity to overcome poverty and attain greater wellbeing. An evaluation was done of the impact of education - understood as formation of knowledge, values and attitudes – on wellbeing in high school students in a poor rural zone of Yucatan, Mexico. A total of 223 (94 women, 129 men) students from 14 to 19 years of age answered an instrument covering two wellbeing dimensions: eating habits and self-concept. Statistical analyses of their answers showed education to have an effect only in some aspects of eating habits. Differences by sex were present in both eating habits and selfconcept, and age affected only self-concept. The education offered these students had only a minimal effect on improving their wellbeing, undermining one of the overarching purposes of education.
Malaysia Secondary Students' Conceptions about the Particulate Nature of Matter
Authors: Abdullah Nurdiana , Ismail Syuhaida , Surif Johari
Published: March 2022

This paper was conducted to determine students’ conceptions about the particulate nature of matter (PNM) in daily life events. Five open ended questions from Nature of Matter-Diagnostic Questions (NMDQ) were used to collect the data through questionnaire survey. 32 secondary students were chosen through random sampling for this study. A qualitative and quantitative methodology was used for this investigation. The findings were analyses using descriptive statistics via Statistical Package in the Social Sciences (SPSS) and content analysis. The results showed that the type of conceptual understandings among the students on the submicroscopic level of matter were classified as alternative understanding with scientific fragments. They have alternative conceptions about the submicroscopic level of particles such as the arrangement and relative spacing between the particles in three states of matter, the movement of water particles and solid particles in a liquid and the movement and uniform distribution of liquid molecules in another liquid. Hence, this paper suggests that the instruction on the particulate nature of matter is needed in helping students making connections between the three levels which chemistry can both taught and understood. It is proposed that by emphasizing the three levels of chemistry in describing common, everyday phenomena to which students could relate would make the instruction more effective.
Statistical Software Packages as an Innovative and Motivational Tool for Teaching Statistics
Authors: Zapletal David , Pacakova Viera
Published: March 2022

Based on longtime teaching experience, the authors of the article present some reasons for the unpopularity of statistical disciplines that are taught at the economic faculties. We assume that the statistical software packages could be an effective motivational tool for teaching the statistical methods. Before explaining the individual statistical method, it is suitable to choose data sets which the students find interesting. In such a way it is possible to convince the students about the usefulness of the information provided by this statistical method. Statistical software packages allow a significant innovation of statistical disciplines. The authors present an example of good fitness tests application. The result in the form of a probabilistic model of a random variable provides detailed information of the population, much more extensive than the results of interval estimates and parametric hypotheses tests.
Impact of vitamin D level and supplementation on systemic lupus erythematosus patients during COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Adel Yasmin , Elgamal Mohamed , Adel Abdelsalam Sherehan
Published: March 2022

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to assess the impact of serum vitamin D level in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with novel coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) disease on severity of infection, duration of COVID-19 disease course, and fatigue development as a complication of both SLE and COVID-19.

Patients and methods: Between April 2020 and January 2021, a total of 38 patients (31 males, 7 females; mean age: 49.2±8.1 years; range, 38 to 65 years) who were previously diagnosed with SLE and on different lines of lupus management were included. The patients presented to chest outpatient clinic and emergency hospital with manifestations suggesting COVID-19 infection. Vitamin D levels were measured in serum by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Vitamin D supplement was added to treatment protocols for COVID-19.

Results: Thirteen (34.2%) patients had normal baseline serum vitamin D levels (≥30 ng/mL), nine (23.7%) patients had vitamin D insufficiency (21 to 29 ng/mL), and 16 (42.1%) patients had vitamin D deficiency (≤20 ng/mL). Low vitamin D levels (insufficiency & deficiency) patients had long SLE disease duration (p=0.06). Also, there was a significant long time spent until recovery from COVID-19 infection in low vitamin D levels (insufficiency & deficiency) patient groups versus those with normal vitamin D (p=0.019). Low baseline vitamin D level patients mainly presented with severe COVID19 symptoms (p=0.04). Patients recovered from COVID-19 had normal vitamin D levels than those who died or were lost to follow-up (p=0.07). After recovery from COVID-19, fatigue was more common in SLE patients with low baseline vitamin D level.

Conclusion: Vitamin D seems to play a certain role in the management of COVID-19 infection in SLE patients. Patients with normal vitamin D levels have less severe symptoms, shorter time to recovery, improved COVID-19 outcomes, and less development of fatigue after COVID-19 infection.
A Solution to Transportation Problem due to Surface Runoff or Storm Water in Panna City Madhya Pradesh
Authors: Dwivedi Abhishek , Verma Rakesh
Published: March 2022

As urbanization is increasing day by day the runoff or storm water in a small city Panna is increasing due to which the transportation problem occurs in the city which leads to an improper flow of transportation in the city. Due to urbanization the proper groundwater recharge technique is not present which leads to increase of runoff in the city, as the soil surface is permeable in which groundwater recharge by infiltration can occur is reducing and resulting in increased surface run off in the Panna city. The effect of transportation flow can be reduced by use of runoff water for increase of water table of city. Infiltration system like infiltration trenches should be made for reducing surface runoff which also increases the infiltration rate of the city, by making of infiltration trenches an area below the footpath and providing filter media in it which has a different layer of gravel and sand due to which filtered water goes inside the earth surface. This helps in reducing the storm water or surface runoff in small city Panna.
Design and Installation of Fire Sprinkler System in Manufacturing Industry
Authors: Gunasekara Pandiyana R. , Shangumasundar G
Published: March 2022

Fire-sprinkler and other extinguishing systems are intended to extinguish or control the fire. Smoke control systems typically are designed to limit the spread of smoke, which keeps egress routes passable for a given period. The fire alarm, through both the activation of the fire-sprinkler system and manual or automatic detection devices, provides warning to building occupants, as well as notification to emergency personnel responding to the alarm.A fire sprinkler framework is a dynamic fire assurance technique, comprising of a water supply framework, giving sufficient weight
and stream rate to a water circulation-channeling framework, onto which fire sprinklers are associated. Also it is utilized as a part of processing plants and substantial business structures, frameworks for homes and little structures are presently accessible at a practical cost. Fire sprinkler frameworks are broadly utilized around the world, with more than 40 million sprinkler heads fitted every year. In structures totally secured by flame sprinklers alone controlled sprinkler frameworks, more than 96% of flames. Sprinklers have been being used in the United States since 1874, and were utilized as a part of manufacturing plant applications where fires when the new century rolled over were regularly disastrous as far as both human and property losses. In the US, sprinklers are today required in all new skyscraper and underground structures for the most part 75 feet (23 m) above or beneath flame office get to, where the capacity of firefighters to give sufficient hose streams to flames is restricted. Sprinklers might be required to be introduced by construction standards, or might be prescribed by insurance agencies to decrease potential property losses or business intrusion. Construction standards in the United States for spots of gathering, by and large more than 100 people, and places with overnight dozing convenience, for example, hotels, nursing homes, residences, and hospitals ordinarily require sprinklers under nearby building regulations, as a state of accepting State and Federal financing. In this Project, the aim is to develop a simple Fire Sprinkler, where the sprinkler can be tested. The test of the sprinkler is to be by
connecting the pipes and the reservoir that contains the water and how the breaking of the chemical tube is happening as if there is a real fire occurring in a building. Further studies will include the calculations of the radius and the area that one sprinkler can handle during a fire case and how many one we have to install in a building to cover the fire as a given flow rate and pressure.
Hazop Study Report Lpg Liquid Off Take System
Authors: Karthi J , Shangumasundar G
Published: March 2022

Hazard and Operability study (HAZOP) is a structured and systematic technique for system examination and risk management. In particular, HAZOP is often used as a technique for identifying potential hazards in a system and identifying operability problems. HAZOP is based on a theory that assumes risk events are caused by deviations from design or operating intentions. Identification of such deviations is facilitated by using sets of ―guide words‖ as a systematic list of deviation perspectives. This approach is a unique feature of the HAZOP methodology that helps stimulate the imagination of team members when exploring potential deviations.

Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT Among many Christians and other religious and spiritual (R/S) groups belief in the demonic is common. Yet no measures exist that enable study of this phenomenon. For theoretical, practical, and research purposes such a measure seems essential. This study reports the development and preliminary psychometric properties of a measure designed to serve this purpose. Four items each in the domains of subjective experience and behavioral engagement were developed. We reasoned that these were interrelated domains. Factor analysis yielded two strongly related factors of four items each that corresponded to subjective feelings and behavioral engagement, accounted for 56.55% of the total variance and correlated 0.62. The measure showed good internal consistency and fits our theoretical model.
Energy Price Fluctuation and Inflation in Nigeria: A Granger Causality Analysis
Authors:   Rivers State University, Kpagih Leera Lenu
Published: March 2022

The Nigerian economy depends to a reasonable extent on the sale of crude oil for its expenditure. The country also depends on importation for a high level of its consumption. Given these events, this paper set out to investigate the causality effect of energy price fluctuations on inflation in Nigeria. This was done using time series data from 1985 to 2018. Oil price, gas price and exchange rate were the independent variables and inflation was the dependent variable. The result of the pairwise granger causality test shows that inflation is not caused by oil price or gas price fluctuations. The paper proposes that fiscal and monetary policy should be engaged to understand the causes of inflation in Nigeria.

Introduction and Aim: Attention plays a huge role in cognitive processes like comprehension and reasoning. Lack of focused attention and easy distractibility adversely affects learning. It has been observed that the optimal attention span of medical students was about twenty minutes which is not quiet adequate. There is a need for improving attention of learners to sustain their ability to focus. Yoga addresses this need. Hence this study was taken up to assess the effectiveness of yoga on sustained and divided attention in Medical students.
Materials and Methods: This is a cross sectional, interventional study done on sixty healthy  volunteer Medical Students in the age group of 18-22 years. Thirty volunteer students formed the yoga group and thirty participated in the study but did not perform yoga. Attention tests namely, Digit vigilance test, Colour trail test 1 and 2 were administered for all participants. Yoga training was conducted by yoga expert with a curated yoga module for one hour daily evening for 30 hours. Same tests were repeated following intervention.
Results: A significant reduction in the completion timings of all attention tests were observed post intervention in the yoga group.  A reduction in the number of errors in DVT was also noted in the same group.
Conclusion: A pronounced improvement in sustained and focused attention along with enhanced attention control processing, was observed post intervention. This indicates that the yoga module has been effective in improving the mental focus of Medical Students.  Regular Yoga practice complements in improving attention in medical students thus facilitating their academic performance.
