Authors:   University of Namibia, Katukula Kelvin M ,   Centre for Research on Evaluation, Science and Technology, Stellenbosch University, Kambeyo Linus ,   University of Namibia
Published: July 2022

Background: Many studies have demonstrated the impact of research in many spheres of life. With the scientific knowledge on the rise, we postulated that impact of research is evident in different scientific fields, which includes education. It is not easy to provide a scholarly definition of the term impact of research as it lacks a standard definition and has various applications. Its uses ranges measuring specific measures to measuring different phenomena. However, impact of research is a demonstrable contribution outside academia. It is a benefit that society gets because of research activities and one way of archiving this benefit can be through the addition of value and improvement of the quality of life as a consequence of research. From the education perspective, the meaning of the impact of research may include the development of skills, knowledge, values, and cultural norms of a people. It is equally alluded to the ability to transform the art of teaching, which might lead to useful lessons that explain the curriculum to the benefit of the students. The impact of research can also mean the ability to influence the modification of educational policies to align them with the global educational trends. This critical systematic review addresses the gap in knowledge about the impact of research in basic education. It further provides a broader understanding of how the research impact affects teaching approaches, education policy, and how it influences education management. Method: the authors carried out a systematic literature review of peer-reviewed journal articles about the impact of research. Results: it has been demonstrated from the reviewed literature that research has an impact on the teaching approaches, education policy, and education management. Keywords: research, impact, output, evidenced-based, teaching-approaches Paper type: A systematic literature review
Household poverty levels in Namibia and their associated sociodemographic factors: An empirical investigation of the 2015/16 Namibia household income and expenditure survey
Authors:   University of Namibia, Oyedele Opeoluwa
Published: July 2022

Despite the intervention strategies that have been put in place to fight poverty, Namibia continues to experience prevalence of poverty with large numbers of households still living in poverty conditions and unable to afford the minimum daily essentials for a decent life. In this quantitative cross-sectional study design, the impact of sociodemographic characteristics of households on their poverty levels was statistically analysed using an ordered probit regression on data from the 2015/16 Namibia household income and expenditure survey. Results showed that sociodemographic characteristics such as the types of household dwelling unit, highest education attainment of the head of household, household main language, household tenure and household main source of income had a significant impact on the household's poverty levels. Households living in a mobile home dwelling unit, whose heads had secondary education as their highest educational attainment as well as households that were mortgaged and whose main source of income were from other sources were less likely to be severely household poor and more likely to be household poor. Furthermore, households living in a singlequarters dwelling unit and whose main language were Setswana were more likely to be severely household poor and less likely to be household poor. It is therefore recommended that the Namibian government and policy makers put more efforts in improving the sociodemographic characteristics of households, particularly those living in a single quarter dwelling unit and whose main language were Setswana.

Authors:   University of Namibia, Isaacs Albert J , Lwendo S B ,   University of Namibia, Kazembe Lawrence ,   University of Namibia
Published: July 2022

Air Namibia, like any other airline, faces challenges as it operates in the global economy. Extreme scrutiny and debate about Air Namibia's viability has highlighted some of the airline's major issues of strategic, operational inefficiency and inability to create customer value. The study's aim was to establish the impact of passenger loyalty on customer relationship management (CRM) in delivering high quality service to passengers and value creation. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to analyze survey data collected from 181 international, regional and domestic passengers using Air Namibia for passengers travelling through the Hosea Kutako International and Eros Airports. The study further identified the primary factors affecting passenger satisfaction with Air Namibia's value chain activities, these factors included: customer orientation, operational specialties, domain expertise, and service recovery and information technology. While factors contributing to passenger retention and loyalty towards Air Namibia's products and services included Marketing and Promotional Activities, Loyalty aspects, Value for Money and Comfort Issues. In exploring the relationship between customer relationship management (CRM) and passenger loyalty, the study found that interpersonal relationships between staff and the customers are crucial to CRM initiatives as they result in a better understanding of customer needs, which in turn leads to passenger loyalty.

Authors:   University of Namibia, Shipanga Immanuel , Oyedele Opeoluwa ,   University of Namibia, Matengu Tarcy C. ,   University of Namibia
Published: July 2022

Mortality studies are important for the effectiveness of subsystem of health services in a country. Before the Coronavirus pandemic outbreak, there has been a gradual decline in the global mortality indicators, which can be linked to the improving economic development and social wellbeing of the global population, especially, in developing regions such as East Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, Eastern Europe and the Middle East. This decline in mortality and the high fertility in developing countries are the contributing factors to the increase on global population. Apart from the aggregated frequencies of deaths and crude death rates reported in population census reports, little to no attention has been paid to detailed inference mortality analysis with respect to the age-sex variation perspective in Namibia. Thus, this paper used the negative binomial regression modelling technique to perform an inference mortality analysis across all ages and both sexes in the country as well as across regions and marital status using the 2016 Civil Registration Vital systems data from the Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration. Results showed that there was a significant relationship between mortality and theindividuals' age, sex, marital status and region. In addition, Oshana, Kavango East, Khomas, Hardap and Omaheke regions had high mortality rates, while infants and elderly individuals had a high probability of dying. Furthermore, the study revealed that individuals who were single and aged 15-59 and 5-14 years had less expected death count. Hence, it is recommended that interventions (such as affordable and proper health care and well-being services) targeted at the (most) vulnerable age groups, marital group and regions be made a priority, in order to meet Sustainable Development Goal 3.

Общественно-политический деятель и ученый Ованнес Тер-Мартиросян, известный под псевдонимом А-До, родился 4 января 1867 г. в г. Нор Баязете. Там же получил начальное образование. В 1881 г. переехал в Ереван, где окончил епархиальную школу, а в дальнейшем учился в Харьковском университете (1905 г.), в Петербургском Психоневрологическом институте (1907 г.). А-До был очевидцем русской революции (1905–1907 гг.), армяно-татарских столкновений (1905‒1906 гг.), почти досконально изучил их причины и написал специальный труд «Армяно-турецкое столкновение 1905–1906 гг.» (1907 г.). С 22 июня по 10 августа 1909 г. А-До побывал в нескольких губерниях Западной Армении, где собирал статистические сведения о численности армян, ремеслах, о сельском хозяйстве, путях сообщений, о турецкой налоговой системе и др. Обобщив данные, издал специальную работу «Вилайеты Вана, Битлиса и Эрзерума» (1912 г.). За исследование «Освободительное движение в России» (1908 г.) был приговорен к тюремному заключению. Во время Первой мировой войны О. Тер-Мартиросян всецело занялся оказанием помощи беженцам, спасшимся от Геноцида, осуществленного младотурецким правительством Османской империи. После победоносной самообороны г. Вана и провинции ( май 1915 г.) поехал в Васпуракан и собрал информацию об армянских погромах, учиненных турками и курдами и самообороне армян.
Public-political figure Hovhannes Ter-Martirosyan, known under the pseudonym A-Do, was born on January 4, 1867 in Nor Bayazet town. Here he received his primary education. In 1881 he moved to Yerevan where he graduated from a diocesan school and later studied at the Kharkov University (1905), at the St. Petersburg Psychoneurological Institute (1907). A-Do was an eyewitness to the Russian Revolution (1905-1907), the Armenian-Tartar clashes (1905-1906). He thoroughly studied the causes of the clashes and wrote a special work on the conflict ‒ “Armenian-Turkish clash of 1905-1906” (1907). From June 22 to August 10, 1910, A-Do visited several provinces of Western Armenia where he collected statistical information on the number of Armenians, crafts, agriculture, communications, the Turkish tax system, etc. Having summarized the data, he created a special work “Vilayets of Van, Bitlis and Erzurum” (1912). He was sentenced to prison for his study “The Liberation Movement in Russia” (1908). During the First World War I, H. Ter-Martirosyan was fully engaged in helping the refugees who survived the genocide. The latter was organized by the Young Turk government of the Ottoman Empire. After the victorious self-defense of the city and the province of Van (May 1915), he went to Vaspurakan and collected information on the Armenian pogroms committed by the Turks and Kurds as well as the self-defense of Armenians.

Published: July 2022

The study aimed to analyze and determine the effectiveness of the implementation of Northwest Samar State University based on CMO No. 104 s. 2017. I used a descriptive-evaluative research design employing the use of an e-questionnaire to gather relevant data. These data were analyzed and collated with suitable statistical tools and were interpreted and discussed consequently. The results of the study revealed that the SIPP coordinators’ and student interns' perception of the implementation of the SIPP is “effective”. However, there is a significant difference in the perceptions of the two groups of respondents. Irregular inspection/monitoring of coordinators because of the difficulty in the mobility of the coordinators is considered a problem encountered in the implementation. The findings of the study suggested that the University should implement more services for the effective and efficient implementation of SIPP.

The most crucial aspect of the learning process is memory. There is no knowledge without memory. But most people lack memory because they memorize things through rote memorization. So in this paper, we have implemented a DNN model that converts plain text into a song which is done by synchronization of a midi file or the music with the text. MIDI files are symbolic representations of the music score. The melodic line of the composition is normally on one of them, while the background music is on the others. Analyzing the audio to identify voice portions in the audio where a human voice is present, as well as non-voice segments in proximity to the voice segments, is part of a method for syncing text with audio. The text segments of segmented text related to the audio can be recognized and synchronized to the speech segments.

Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND:It is important to appreciate microalgal diversity, better understand their ecosystem functioning and therefore implement conservation measures. The National Biodiversity Act of South Africa has a marine and coastal component which promotes such investigations.OBJECTIVE:To develop a cryostorage method for the marine unicellular algal speciesPyramimonas mucifera.MATERIALS AND METHODS:Cell viability, measured by propidium iodide, was used to determine both optimal exposure time to 10 % DMSO and survival following thawing of cryopreserved cells. Cryopreservation was achieved by a two-step cooling method.RESULTS & DISCUSSION:A 30-min DMSO exposure was selected forP. mucifera, as cells following such treatment retained cell shape and integrity. Although density was significantly reduced after cryopreservation, the surviving cells were capable of returning to viability levels equal to those of the untreated control (>90%).CONCLUSION:Cultures ofP. muciferacan be successfully cryopreserved and propidium iodide provides a useful indication of culture vitality.

Authors: Taouzinet Lamia , Fatmi Sofiane , Khellouf Allaeddine , Lahiani-Skiba Malika , Skiba Mohamed , Iguer-Ouada Mokrane
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND:It is known that a considerable number of drugs in clinical use or under development are water-insoluble drugs with poor bioavailability. The liposomal delivery system has drawn attention as one of the noteworthy approaches to increase both dissolution and absorption because of its biocompatibility and ability to encapsulate hydrophobic molecules in the lipid domain. However, several drawbacks have been reported, the most common is liposome structural instability .OBJECTIVE:To encapsulate alpha tocopherol into liposomes, to determine the new formulation stability and to study the drug-release of alpha tocopherol into the sperm cryopreservation medium.MATERIALS AND METHODS:The liposomes prepared by an ethanol injection method were characterized for size stability, alpha tocopherol release and sperm motility tests.RESULTS:The prepared unilamellar vesicles had both narrow size distribution (around 99 nm) and a good physical and chemical stability at 4°C during 12 months. The liposomes did not release the vitamin E immediately, but retained the protectant for 24 hours, probably due to the rigidity of the liposomal fence which was reinforced by adding cholesterol. Then, all vitamin E molecules were released by 48 hours. Release was potentially by Fickian diffusion probably by the creation of mini-ducts due to both agitation and fence hydration. Moreover, semen motility treated with vitamin E liposome preparations was significantly improved compared to all other treatments (including commonly used sperm conservation media).CONCLUSION :The stable vitamin E liposomes formulated in this work are a promising alternative for semen cryopreservation protection.
The Pattern Of Cell Survival In The Pig Liver Following One Freeze-thaw Cryosurgery Cycle
Authors: Ye Jianfei , Lugnani Franco , Yuan Ling , Zhao John GJ , Zhang Diana , Rubinsky Boris
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: It is well established that in cryosurgery some cells can survive one freeze thaw cycle and that surviving cells are found at the margin of the frozen lesion. Numerous techniques are being developed to ensure the survival of frozen cells to the margin of the frozen
region. OBJECTIVE: We thought that it would be of fundamental interest to observe the pattern of cell survival in a liver treated with one freeze-thaw cycle. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed six ultrasound-guided single freeze-thaw cryosurgery procedures on the liver of four
Landrace pigs, using two cryosurgery probes separated by 25 mm inserted in parallel. Treated organs were removed 24 hours after the cryosurgery and processed for histology with hematoxylin and eosin. The tissues were analyzed with a digital slice scanner. RESULTS: We found an unexpected
pattern of cell survival; sheets of live cells, about 200 μm in width, that follow the network of interlobular connective tissue septae to a distance of several millimeter from the outer edge of the one freeze-thaw cycle cryosurgery treated lesion. The sheets of live cells surround lobule
cores that have undergone complete coagulative necrosis. In addition, larger blood vessels, as far as 5 mm from the outer rim of the treated lesion, have a major and complex effect on cell survival with large areas of completely necrotic and completely alive cells intermixed. CONCLUSION:
This study may have value as a baseline for developing new cryosurgery protocols designed to ablate cells to the margin of the frozen lesion.

Unpacking determinants of new energy vehicles purchase intention from the perspective of Cognitive mediation model
Authors: Cui Jiahao
Published: July 2022

Given that conventional fuel vehicles wreak havoc on the environment， the Central Committee of the CPC and The State Council of the PRC has proposed the "dual carbon" goal throughout China, the promotion of new energy vehicles (NEVs) is imminent. Based on the cognitive mediation model, this study aims to take a closer look at the influence of motivations, attention to traditional media, attention to new media, interpersonal communication, information elaboration, and factual knowledge on people’s NEVs purchase intention. Our findings showed that motivations were found to be associated with attention to media. Also, attention to traditional media, attention to new media, interpersonal communication, and information elaboration were found to be positively associated with NEVs purchase intention. However, factual knowledge is insignificantly predictive of NEVs purchase intention. Theoretical and practical implications were discussed.
Gossip on Stock Return: Evidence from China
Authors: Yu Chang
Published: July 2022

Based on the investor attention theory, non-fundamental related information could lead to influences on the stock market as well. This study is aiming to detect the possible effect from gossip on stock return. By focusing on the specific information’s impact on the company’s stock return, it takes a Chinese company JD as the research objective and the gossip news about the company’s CEO as the information source. The investor attention is measured by Google searching volume index. The results from the empirical tests show that the gossip does have significant effects on stock return during a short period. For the longer period, the effects are likely to become insignificant and eliminated themselves. The reason for the stock price drift is related to the increased investor attention by link the Google searching index and the price fluctuation together. Based on the situation from the year of 2015 to 2016 of JD Company, the empirical research shows robust support for the argument.
Do local shareholders increase corporate value
Authors: Lv Zelin , Lin Ke
Published: July 2022

This paper introduces the geographical location characteristics of shareholders to study the governance role of shareholders and explores the impact of local shareholders on corporate value from the perspective of related-party transactions (RPTs). We manually collect information on the geographical location of the top ten shareholders of A-share listed companies in China over the period 2010-2020 and screen the data on local RPTs of the companies to empirically test the question under study. The study finds that the higher proportion and controlling right of local shareholders in a listed firm, the more likely it is to have local RPTs. In addition, using the mediation effect test, this paper finds that there is a partial mediation effect between local shareholders and corporate value, the higher the proportion of local shareholders, the stronger the effect of using local RPTs to increase corporate value, which is manifested in the "propping" of RPTs. Further analysis finds that the degree of regional marketization, financing constraints, and the nature of property rights can have a heterogeneous impact on the local RPTs of local shareholders and companies.

Authors: Xiong Yuhan
Published: July 2022

Chanel’s French legacy enables it to strengthen its reputation and remove past problems. It should pursue middle-class adult women for their high luxury consumption ambitions, and return to its pre-pandemic marketing expenditure levels to beat the high profiles, diversity, firmness, and discrete distribution approaches of key rivals Dior, LVMH, Gucci, and Burberry. The traditional store should keep giving the best client experiences, although Chanel’s online store ought to be developed to properly market its sub-brands. Celebrities Han So Hee and Zendaya Coleman must be the brand’s ambassadors given their rich talents and strong online presence. Dedicated pop-up shops and hosting holiday stays for public consumers should be Chanel’s best experiential activation tactics going forward.
Research on Causes and Risks of High Premium Mergers and Acquisitions
Authors: Gao Yufei
Published: July 2022

In recent years, the rapid development of the capital market has pushed the cross-border mergers and acquisitions of Chinese enterprises to a climax, and witnessed the emergence of a large number of high-premium mergers and acquisitions. However, there are inevitably risks behind it, which has threatened the operation of the enterprise itself and the capital market as well. This paper, with BY-HEALTH's acquisition of LSG as an example, analyzes the causes and risks of high-premium mergers and acquisitions, and puts forward relevant suggestions to prevent the formation of high-premium mergers and acquisitions using the method of case study. The study results show that the formation of high-premium mergers and acquisitions is attributed to the high expectations of the acquirer's synergy effect and the inaccurate assessment. High-premium mergers and acquisitions will expose enterprises to goodwill impairment and financial risks, resulting in serious economic consequences. This paper expands the research results of the causes and risk analysis of high-premium mergers and acquisitions, and provides experience and enlightenment for the future mergers and acquisitions of Chinese enterprises.
Culture Value, Consumer Perceived Value and Purchase Decision Style: Comparison of Chinese Urban Differences
Authors: Chen Junxuan
Published: July 2022

Nowadays, China has a huge population and a vast territory. Different factors influence consumers everywhere. This paper explores the similarities and differences in cultural values, consumer perceptions of price and consumer purchase decision styles among consumers in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in China. The study mainly found that consumers in the South (Guangzhou and Shanghai) are more interested in the quality and substance of goods, while in contrast, consumers in the North (Beijing) are more interested in the brand, origin and packaging of goods. However, the similarity between the three cities is that they all value for money. In this regard, it is important that businesses take into account the different factors that affect consumers in different regions and further develop products or services that suit them.

Whether the Development of Carbon Finance Contributed to Industrial Optimization and Upgrading: Evidence from A Chinese Carbon Emissions Trading Pilot
Authors: Chen Yao , Liu Zhaojun , Ma Yongqin
Published: July 2022

In recent years, there has been a lot of literature on carbon finance contributing to industrial optimization and upgrading, but the causal endogeneity between them has not been well addressed. The carbon emissions trading policy is a major exploration practice in the construction of China's carbon financial market. Using this natural event, data from 30 provinces during 2008-2018 are selected and the Differences-in-Differences method is applied to comprehensively analyze the impact of carbon emissions trading policy on industrial optimization and upgrading in pilot regions and its mechanism of action. And to conclude the driving effect of carbon finance development on industrial optimization and upgrading based on greatly reduced endogeneity. The conclusions show that carbon emissions trading policies can effectively promote industrial upgrading in the pilot regions. Further mechanism research also shows that carbon emissions trading policies promote industrial upgrading in the pilot regions through three main channels: enterprise innovation efficiency, international trade, and consumer demand, with the most obvious effect of enterprise innovation efficiency. This paper concludes with recommendations for industrial upgrading based on a carbon finance perspective.
The impact of green credit policy on enterprise risk-taking: an empirical test based on DID
Authors: Wang Shuya
Published: July 2022

Green finance is a driving force for energy conservation and green development. Based on the "Green Credit Guidelines" policy issued by China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) in 2012 as a quasi-natural experiment, combined with the financial data of Chinese listed companies from 2008 to 2016, we constructed a DID model to study the impact of green credit as a financial instrument on enterprise risk taking. The results show that green credit can significantly improve enterprise risk taking level. This effect is more effective for state-owned enterprises, enterprises with flexible strategies and enterprises with high information transparency. Furthermore, mechanism analysis indicates that green credit can increase enterprise risk taking level by restraining the inefficient investment behavior and stimulating the endogenous power of enterprises' innovation.

In recent years, under the dual influence of national policies and market fluctuations, the development of the real estate industry has shown an obvious downward trend. Up against this background, real estate enterprises have begun to try the diversified operation. However, their results of diversification are different. Some enterprises have found new profit growth points, while others are facing huge financial risks and even debt crises. With the data of Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share real estate listed companies in China from 2010 to 2020 as research samples, this paper constructs a two-way fixed effects model, tests the diversification effects on financial risks, and compares the real estate enterprises that adopt different diversification strategies. The findings are as follows. (1) Real estate enterprise diversification aggravates the financial risks of enterprises. (2) The degree of unrelated diversification has a significant negative correlation with the financial performance of real estate enterprises, while the degree of related diversification has no significant impact on financial risks.

Sanayi Devrimi’nin gerçekleşmesinin hemen ardından değişmeye başlayan dünya düzeninde doğa tahribatı ve sürdürülemeyen tüketim algısı ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu duruma tepki olarak ekolojik dengenin korunması fikrine dayanan savunuların ortaya çıktığı görülmektedir. 1960-1970 yılları arasında bu eleştirel bakış açısı; çevresel değerlere sahip çıkma ortak amacı doğrultusunda örgütlenmeye başlamıştır. Bu tarihsel süreç içerisinde meydana gelen ekolojik denge ve sürdürülebilirlik düşüncesi doğrultusunda şekillenmiş olan ilk somut adımlardan biri eko-köy yerleşkelerinin oluşturulması olmuştur.

Eko-köyler; bilinçli bir şekilde sistematik olarak doğal ortamları ekolojik, sosyolojik ve psikolojik dengeler kurarak sürdürülebilir bir şekilde yeniden yapılandırmak amacıyla hareket etmektedir. Eko-köyler; insan faaliyetlerinin zararsız bir biçimde doğayla bütünleştiği, insanın sağlıklı bir şekilde gelişimini öngören, başarılı bir şekilde kesintiye uğramadan sürdürülebilecek, tam teşekküllü yerleşimlerdir. Eko-köylerin ana düşüncesi; sürdürülebilir kurgularla doğaya saygılı bir şekilde geleceği tasarlamaktır.

Bu çalışmada alternatif bir yaşam biçimi olarak eko-köyler ekoloji ve ekolojik düşüncenin temelleri ekseninde değerlendirilmekte; eko-köy oluşumları ve yapısal özellikleri insan-doğa ilişkisi üzerinden ele alınmaktadır.
A Study on the Applicability of ‘Deliberative Democracy’ in the Candidate Selection of Korean Political Parties

Candidate selection is an important issue that determines the quality of representative democracy. The final candidates selected by the people in the election are those who have passed the nomination process of the political party. In other words, the representatives chosen by the people cannot exceed the quality of party nominations. Therefore, the demand for “democratization” of candidate selection methods must now enter a new stage. It is not just democratization that returns the right of nomination to the people, but rather how the decision can be connected with a higher quality choice.
In this respect, the problematic awareness of this study is focused on how to improve the quality of Korean party nominations. In this article, I focus on deliberative democracy in order to ensure that deliberation can be ensured in a thoughtful discussion, rather than a party's primary election being reduced to a 'survey democracy' based on opinion polls. If institutional planning is carried out in the candidate selection process in the future, it attempts to make an exploratory proposal on whether deliberative democracy can work.
