Authors: Musa Abdullahi Sakanko  , Sufiyanu Umma Yahaya  , Salihu Abdullahi
Published: July 2023

The study employed the Probit regression on the National Bureau of Statistics general households survey data to appraise the effect of financial literacy on financial inclusion in Niger State. The estimation result shows that financial literacy positively and statistically influences financial inclusion options (account ownership, bank access, and credit access) in Niger state. Similarly, education status, age, and gender are determinants of financial inclusion. The study concluded that financial literacy is necessary for achieving financial inclusion. To encourage financial inclusion among youth, the government should include financial education in secondary school and tertiary to teach skills and information on how to utilize and manage financial services and products. The central bank should also mandate the financial institutions to establish customer financial advisory units to educate their clients on managing and using financial products and services available to them to create wealth, thus improving living standards.
Inter-Caste Gender Performativity in Indian Hindu Culture: A Postcolonial Gender Study in Mulk Raj Anand’s Untouchable and Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things
Authors: Tasnim Jarin  , Aftab Ur Rahaman Zahin
Published: July 2023

This study uses Judith Butler's concept of "gender performativity" to examine Mulk Raj Anand's "Untouchable" and Arundhati Roy's "The God of Small Things" in order to draw conclusions about the inter-caste gender performativity in Indian Hindu culture. Some autobiographical writings preserved evidence of voluntary and 'non-theatrical inter-caste connection' which transcends the boundary of untouchability, despite the dogmatic and historic hostility against inter-caste relationships in Indian Hindu society. In a consenting intercaste relationship, women, as the subaltern gender, never know for sure what caste they belong to. They are generally discovered to be branded off the caste of the males who touched them, rather than naturally belonging to any caste of them. Women in non-consensual inter-caste relationships are kept quiet by the strong touch of males from higher castes, yet this does not affect their social status. It's a double standard, and the higher classes control both settings. The non-dramatic setting challenges the elite rhetoric of 'impurity' and the concept that inter-caste contact would result in retribution in the next world. This connection demonstrates that the theatrical concept is nothing more than a bourgeois-political tool used by the ruling class to subjugate the lower classes. This study is qualitative in nature and was conducted using a closed-textual-reading approach. The impact of inter-caste gender performativity on both authors is discussed, and the gender performativity of Hindu castes is examined in four settings (theatrical, non-theatrical, public, and private). The study demonstrates that each author is impacted in their own unique way by gender performativity as imposed by society, and that gender performativity is conditional within the Indian Hindu castes, both onstage and off.

Theoretically Justification of Human Rights: A Case of Natural Rights Theory
Authors: Mudassar Hussain  , Naeem Akhtar
Published: July 2023

The theoretical justification of natural rights examines the philosophical foundations and ethical principles that support the existence and applicability of these rights. People have some rights simply by being human, and neither groups nor governments may bestow them upon them, according to the idea of natural rights. It also provides a concise overview of the theories that support natural rights, including those that rely on moral intuition, human nature, and the Social Contract. The moral intuition approach maintains that natural rights are self-evident and universally accepted since they are based on our innate sense of right and wrong. It claims that certain inherent human rights are required for human flourishing and well-being. Based on the intrinsic qualities and needs of people, the human nature perspective defends natural rights. It argues that some rights, such as the right to life, liberty, and property, are derived from basic human attributes and abilities. According to the Social Contract theory, a hypothetical agreement among members of a community serves as the foundation for natural rights. It proposes that people voluntarily create a Social Contract to set up a governing body that upholds and defends their fundamental rights. These theoretical defenses offer frameworks for comprehending the nature, significance, and defense of natural rights. They emphasize on these rights’ intrinsic and universal nature, the value of human dignity, and the idea of inalienability. Individuals can live dignified lives by recognizing and upholding their natural rights.
PENERAPAN METODE SIMPLE ADDITIVE WEIGHTING UNTUK MENDUKUNG PENGAMBILAN KEPUTUSAN PENERIMAAN PEGAWAI
Authors: Kusumawati Kiki
Published: July 2023

Every institution or company will always try to recruit qualified new employees. Employee selection activities are really needed as an effort to improve the performance of the institution or company. The current hiring process is still carried out by convention by inviting applicants to be interviewed, and there are no standard criteria that are prioritized as part of employees who will be recommended to be selected as permanent employees. As a result of the absence of an objective assessment pattern, there is a gap for bargaining in making decisions. Based on the existing problems, it is necessary to strive to develop a method for assessing prospective employees using Simple Additive Weighting (SAW). The results of the assessment using the SAW method can provide alternative solutions for selecting prospective employees according to the established criteria.

An antenatal intervention pilot service development project in a community perinatal team
Authors: Denediou Derrer Katerina , Christopher Jacqui , Cohen Sarah
Published: July 2023

Objective The Adjustment to motherhood group was designed for women under the Hertfordshire Community perinatal team (CPT) in late 2021, as an antenatal intervention to ease the transition to motherhood, to strengthen the mother-infant relationship, and to keep baby safe despite challenges. Our hypothesis was that the group would support women who did not feel mentally or emotionally prepared for the baby’s arrival. The group consisted of four weekly hour-long virtual antenatal sessions. One session was delivered each by occupational therapist, nursery nurse, clinical psychologist and parent-infant psychotherapist, with a mix of didactic and psychoeducation. The 4 sessions enable the therapists to prepare the women for common situations they may encounter once their baby arrived, and encouraged the participants to be open to contacting the perinatal team if they recognised they were struggling. They were followed by a postnatal reunion session, approximately a month later. Psychology resources and a booklet on Adjusting to motherhood were circulated. Methods Mixed methods design. Referrals were sought from all clinicians in the community perinatal team who also obtained verbal consent. The referred women were grouped according to their gestations and estimated due date. Ethical approval was not sought as this was a service evaluation. Sample: 10 women in the pilot, 24 women in two subsequent groups, mostly first-time mums. Data collection: Quantitative: A questionnaire was circulated antenatally and postnatally, based on the Rigidity of maternal beliefs scale (RMBS) and the Pre- and Post-natal Bonding Scale (PPBS). Qualitative data was collected during feedback session in reunion groups. Results More than half of the referred women attended most sessions; there was a low response rate in the postnatal questionnaire however there was improvement in relationship with baby among those who answered. Conclusion This is an acceptable low-cost antenatal intervention that can benefit first time mums and improve the relationship with their baby. Similar groups can be created in other regions. It can be improved by co-designing future iterations, by distributing the validated questionnaires to a bigger number of mothers and to include a session addressed at fathers.

Published: July 2023

Objective Congenital ventricular aneurysms located in the right ventricle are very rare abnormalities. Case(s) We describe a case of prenatal diagnosed right ventricle aneurysm which ended with favorable outcome. Fetal echocardiography demonstrated a 20x20 mm aneurysmal image outpouching from the basal region and free wall of the right ventricle in a 35- year-old multigravida woman at her 37th gestation week. This case had intermittent bradycardia in the postpartum first days. In pediatric cardiology examinations at the 1st, 3rd , 6th month and 1st year postnatally, it was observed that aneurysmatic formation partially regressed compared to the prenatal period. Conclusion Prenatal diagnosis of these abnormalities allows to have a favorable prognosis via a multidiciplinary colloboration in intrauterine and postnatal period.

Heroes of the battlefield: The cult of Russian soldiers during the Serbian-Turkish wars (1876-1878) in Serbian 19th century visual culture
Authors: Anđelković Teodora
Published: July 2023

The paper discuses the making of the cult of Russian soldiers during the Serbian-Turskish wars (1876-1878). The making of heroes is not a spontaneous process, but a consequence of a deliberate and intentional memory making. Visual culture is an important part of that process. This paper analyses the making of the cult of Russian soldiers by focusing on the public monuments and illustrated periodicals. As in the case of public monuments in general, which took various forms in the visual culture of the 19th century, the monuments related to the Russian soldiers were also diverse. They memorialised collective identity of Russian volunteers in First Serbian-Turkish war (1876-1877) in a from of an obelisk or of churches that represent sacral memorial places. There are also memorials of a notable individual, colonel Nikolaj Nikolajevich Rajevski, who got several cenotaphs and whose funeral became a public manifestation. Besides monuments, illustrated news also played an important role in the making of the heroes. These were important political and cultural factors in the 19th century. As a mass media they influenced the public opinion by publishing portraits of Russian soldiers and their biographies. Beside portraits, illustrated periodicals also published war images where the collectives power of the Russian army was celebrated. The pictures of hard times for the army also emphasized their heroism. A peculiar illustration showing Turkish atrocities appeared in one of the analised illustrated periodicals. This kind of picture was carefully picked with the purpose of inducing the sympathy of the readers for the victims, in this case Russians.
Iconostasis of the Church of Saints Peter and Paul the Apostles, in Vrčin: Work of Lazar and Olga Krdžalić
Authors: Bradić Teodora
Published: July 2023

The paper analyzes the iconostasis of the Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, located in Vrčin. The iconostasis was painted in 1896 by Lazar Krdžalić, an artist who studied in Russia for about six years. The artist began his studies at the icon painting school in Moscow, and finished at the Saint Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts. His wife, Olga Krdžalić, helped him paint the iconostasis. The size of the iconostasis partition of the church in Vrčin influenced the iconographic repertoire and the selection of icons with the most prominent saints. The images on the iconostasis are read horizontally, starting from the lower zone and the most important throne icons. In the first and second zones, the most important events from the cycle of major holidays are shown. The Resurrection of Christ is depicted in the central part of the second zone. The icon is larger than other icons, which was intended to highlight the most important event in Christian history. Icons of St. Nicholas and St. John are attached to the scenes from the Great Holidays cycle. The high iconostasis partition ends with a cross on which the Crucifixion is depicted, carrying important symbolic meaning. The crucifixion is completed with the figures of the Virgin Mary, John the Baptist, Michael the Archangel, Saint George, and the scene of the Lamentation of Christ. The iconostasis of the church in Vrčin was painted following Serbian theological practice, heavily influenced by Russia during this period. The application of the iconographic solution that Lazar Krdžalić adopted during his schooling in Russia and its adaptation to the clients indicate that the design of the Vrčin iconostasis follows the practice that was established in the Kingdom of Serbia during the second half of the 19th century.
Unmanned aerial systems as a revolutionary tool in modern armed conflicts
Authors: Petrović Ivan , Gordić Miodrag
Published: July 2023

More than a century has passed since the third dimension of space (airspace) has become an important place where combat and non-combat activities take place. The ability of the Air Force to carry out a wide range of content of combat operations and other activities from the airspace ensured the development of new qualitative characteristics of modern armed conflicts. The absence of physical limitations, high maneuverability and dynamism, short reaction time, as well as the high intensity of actions carried out by the Air Force, have enabled these forces to have strategic importance in armed conflicts since the Second World War. In parallel with the development of civilization and the emergence of qualitatively new technologies, rapidly improved technological solutions are being developed, which are changing the way of life of people around the world, improving it literally day by day. Each technological generation brings a new level of civilizational development, leading to the symbiosis of man as a human being and modern technical and technological means. Undoubtedly, this is also the case with the development of modern weapon systems and equipment used in armed conflicts. This is also the case with the revolutionary development of new weapon systems in air forces around the world. The development of modern weapons in the air force is best seen through the development of unmanned aerial platforms (unmanned aerial vehicles). The development of these assets is a consequence of the industrial revolution of the fourth generation and the importance of these platforms in the realization of tasks in modern armed conflicts is almost immeasurable. Namely, every conflict brings exponential development of these assets, both in technical and tactical sense. The development of these means in modern armed conflicts is a continuous process that is realized on the basis of previous experiences from the tactical use of unmanned aerial vehicles in concrete combat actions. There is no doubt that the technological progress of these means is something that in the future will enable the almost unlimited use of these aircraft in the execution of a wide variety of tasks without minimal danger to human life. This paper, whose main goal is to describe the unmanned aerial vehicle as a tool for the execution of a wide range of tasks in an unlimited war format, consists of three chapters in addition to the introduction and conclusion. In the first chapter, the theoretical determination of the unmanned aerial vehicle as a weapon-equipment system was made. In the second chapter, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles is analyzed on the examples of armed conflicts in Syria and Nagorno-Karabakh. In the third chapter, an analysis of potential aviation patterns of unmanned aerial vehicles and loitering munition (also known as a suicide drone or kamikaze drone) in combat operations was carried out.
The use of policeware to hack electronic evidence in Germany and the Netherlands
Authors: Pisarić Milana
Published: July 2023

Hacking as manipulation of software, data, computer system or network without the knowledge and permission of the user constitutes an act of criminal offence. However, given that certain technological tendencies make it difficult/impossible to collect electronic evidence, the question arises as to whether the authorities responsible for detecting and proving criminal offenses should be authorized to hack, i.e. to conduct investigations in the digital environment in such a way that they would be authorized to exploit technical, systemic and human vulnerabilities within the IT system, without knowledge and permission of the user, in order to gain a remote access to protected system and conduct further actions. Although a state authorities' hacking with the aim of collecting electronic evidence carries immense risks for information security and human rights and freedoms with it, one cannot dispute that the deployment of such techniques might be useful in criminal investigations. However, the application of hacking technique would not per se violate the right to privacy and other guaranteed rights and freedoms, only as far as such interference is properly regulated. Hence, the legal framework should explicitly regulate the lawful hacking as a special investigative measure, especially the conditions that should be met and mechanisms that should be applied. As hacking for the purposes of criminal investigation may be performed through various techniques, this paper focuses on a hacking technique based on a malware, and its regulations in two countries with explicit provisions - Germany and the Netherlands.

In the later Roman period the North Sea and Channel region was the scene of seaborne attacks, political crises, army reforms, Germanic invasions and changing imperial defence strategies. Literary evidence for this era is poor. On the other hand the Shore forts can yield highly significant information, but have been subject to little study in recent decades. At the Belgian coastal fort at Oudenburg large-scale excavations in the first decade of the 21st century revealed a strikingly well-preserved chronological, spatial and functional evolution of this military base, with five main fort periods running from the late 2nd until the early 5th century AD. For the first time within the context of the Shore forts securely datable structural evidence demonstrates the stages in progression of a mid- to late Roman fort where the horizons can be related to historically recorded processes and events in the region. Political, economic and social developments can be seen within this evidence, as a result of the assessment of the huge quantity of well-stratified finds types. Reports on the finds assemblage by specialist experts, using various analytical methods, represent ‘touchstones’ for regional military and later Roman studies in the North-West provinces. The study of Oudenburg, and in relationship to other Shore forts, enables exploration of ‘change and continuity’ and ‘identity’, in respect of the everyday lives of soldiers, and in their interaction with other forts and wider regional spheres. This is achieved by examining find contexts as reflections of the socio-cultural world. The study of ‘military identities’ is further emphasized through looking at the associated graveyards wherein the direct relationship with the successive fort periods is established. It is clear this fort was closely connected with the British forts and that there occurred an increasing Germanic influence as the fort transformed into a community of military families. This is volume two of three and provides detailed reports on the finds assemblage of the south-west corner site of the Oudenburg fort.

Conhecer os níveis séricos de 25(OH)D e o perfil ósseo de mulheres idosas é relevante para a manutenção de sua independência física e funcional. Objetivo: Avaliar a suplementação da 25(OH)D em mulheres idosas fisicamente ativas. Métodos: Ensaio de intervenção em grupos. Foram avaliadas 348 mulheres idosas com idade ≥ 60 anos (67±5 anos), praticantes de exercício físico há pelo menos um ano, na Unidade de Santana do Sesc - Serviço Social do Comércio - São Paulo (SP). Comparamos 146 praticantes de Hidroginástica (HD); 99 idosas que praticavam Ginástica Multifuncional (GMF); e 103 idosas não praticantes de exercício físico supervisionado, as quais foram classificadas como sedentárias (SED). As idosas com níveis de 25(OH)D abaixo da mediana do respectivo grupo foram suplementadas com colecalciferol, 21 mil UI/semana, por 12 meses. Foi realizada a dosagem sérica de 25(OH)D, o cálculo do Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) e a Densitometria Óssea (Dexa). A comparação dos dados basais foi realizada pelo Modelo Linear Geral (General Linear Model - GLM) univariado e para o tempo da suplementação, o GLM para medidas repetidas, considerando o nível de significância α<0,005. Resultados: A suplementação aumentou significativamente os níveis de 25(OH)D na HD (12,06±2,64 - 39,42±13,82 ng/mL - p<0,001), GMF (13,01±3,43 - 37,36±10,46 ng/mL - p<0,001) e SED (10,86±2,26 ng/ml - 38,30±13,77 ng/mL - p<0,001). Não houve diferenças significativas sobre o perfil ósseo. Conclusão: As idosas dos grupos, mesmo independentes fisicamente, apresentaram osteopenia, osteoporose e insuficiência de 25(OH)D, esta corrigida após o protocolo de suplementação, mostrando sua efetividade.

With the development of economic activity lately, it is increasingly triggering economic activity in all fields. Among these economic activities are business activities in the field of selling automotive products. So that at this time many emerging companies engaged in the field of automotive loan financing. And one such company is CV. Sumber Jaya Kencana Motor Binjai which is also the official distributor for sales of Yamaha motorcycles.

Purchasing motorcycles on credit is more likely to bring greater results than purchasing in cash. In installment payments, there is an agreement to protect the seller from the possibility of uncollectible receivables. To protect the interests of the seller from the possibility of non-fulfillment of the obligations that must be fulfilled by the buyer, an agreement or installment sales contract is made after the transaction is carried out, then a penalty calculation is made where the fine is calculated from the number of installments paid per month multiplied by 0.5% and the result is the number per day late payment of consumer installments.

The most important factor in the data processing process is in terms of motorcycle installment payments where in this case the company still uses 2 payment methods, namely direct payments to CV dealers. Sumber Jaya Kencana Motor Binjai, namely through cashiers and payments through collectors.

In this process the input is still inaccurate and data errors often occur, because there is no program that can assist cashiers in inputting motorcycle installment payments and the system used is not efficient. Another problem is that fraud is still very prone to occur in terms of installment payments, where the cashier as someone who is very responsible for this payment also has the opportunity to cheat because there is no accurate system in terms of inputting data.

Seeing this, the authors are very interested in designing a motorcycle payment information system with the title "Design of LAN-Based Motorcycle Credit Installment Payment Information System at CV. Sumber Jaya Kencana Motor Binjai ".
