In this study, it has been attempted to identify the factors affecting policy executive performance with the Islamic approach and then to evaluate the relationship between them. The statistical population includes the staff and managers of the selected governmental organizations in Yazd. The sampling was done by cluster sampling method. The research was applied in terms of purpose and correlational in terms of the research method, which was collected through using a valid and reliable questionnaire and survey method. Due to the sample size required, 392 questionnaires were distributed. The results of the validity and reliability of the questionnaire were also acceptable. The constructs of the conceptual framework variables were identified using exploratory factor analysis. The identified factor structure was then considered as the base of the definition of hypotheses that indicate confirmation of the relationships between structures and components. These assumptions were tested through confirmatory factor analysis using LISREL 8.5 software. In this study, PLS software was used to measure the fit of the research model. The results indicated that the dimensions of spirituality had a direct impact on job satisfaction, work-family interaction, organizational culture, organizational commitment, and servant leadership. In addition, job satisfaction, organizational culture and servant leadership had a direct and significant impact on policy executive performance.

Authors: Umar Muhammad , Chaudhry Imran Sharif , Faheem Muhammad , Farooq Fatima
Published: August 2021

This study aims to explore the impact of governance, foreign direct investment and human capital on trade liberalization in developing countries (lower income, middle income and upper middle income). The study employed fixed effect for the period of 2000 to 2019. Results show governance, foreign direct investment and human capital are highly significant with trade liberalization in the case of lower-income countries. In the case of middle-income countries, empirical findings demonstrate governance and foreign direct investment are highly significant with a negative sign, while human capital has positive on trade liberalization. In the case of upper-middle-income countries, results show human capital and foreign direct investment affect positively, while governance has a negative effect on trade liberalization. On the behalf of results it is suggested that in the countries where human capital is high, most of the inflows of foreign direct investment happen. It means that the government can develop human resources to attract more foreign direct investments. The governments of developing countries should also concentrate on education, including training facilities and other quality educational facilities for human skill development.

Published: August 2021

Background: Sidra Medicine is the first dedicated Children and Maternity hospital in the State of Qatar. This paper describes the preparations for and results of activating quaternary neonatal surgical services in a brand new, "greenfield" hospital. We believe that these are the first published national results of neonatal general surgical services from the Gulf region.
Methods: A review of surgical babies below four weeks corrected age from 1st of April 2018 – 31st of March 2020 was undertaken. Patient demographics, primary diagnosis, surgical procedures, 30-day postoperative mortality, overall mortality, and cause of death were recorded.
Results: One hundred and sixty-nine babies (169) were identified (44.4% term and 55.6% preterm). Major surgery included laparotomy (76), congenital diaphragmatic hernia repair (20), surgery for anorectal malformations (25), and esophageal atresia (13). One set of conjoined twins were also separated successfully.  Fourteen babies died, resulting in overall mortality of 8.3 %. Excluding babies who died of life-limiting conditions, two babies died within 30 days of surgery, resulting in 30 days postoperative mortality rate of 1.2 %.
Conclusions: The neonatal surgical mortality rate is comparable with those from top international centers. This low rate could be attributed to the high level of expertise preceded by months of preparations.

Restructuring State - Local Relations in Nigeria: Issues and Perspectives
Authors: Muhammad Koko Nuruddeen Muhammad , Mohd Tayeb Azmil , Razali Siti Zuliha
Published: August 2021

Federations thrived where levels of government exist and function based on shared rule and self-rule concurrently. Thus, a key defining feature of federalism is the assignment of responsibilities between component units such that each unit is assigned specific responsibilities within its jurisdiction. However, in Nigeria, the disproportionate distribution of responsibilities and resources amongst the component units had resulted in a dysfunctional federation. By virtue of the provision of section 7 of 1999 Constitution, Supreme Court's judgements and extra-judicial pronouncements, local governments are under the "supervisory control" of the State Governments (SGs). However, the extent to which this supervisory control is exercised has been at the front burner of every discourse on Nigerian politics and particular governance challenges. While examining state-local governments relations from both legal and operational viewpoints, this paper illustrates how the SGs wore away the intent of the framers of the Constitution, which is to institute a system of local government that is properly organised, monitored supervised by the SGs. A qualitative research approach was used. Data was collected via official documents, relevant literature, and interviews from officials of the SGs and local governments and experts selected purposively and conveniently. The paper established that local governments are failing simply because the SGs have failed to perform their responsibilities per the spirit of the Constitution and other extant laws. The article finally advocates for an efficient and effective local government system premise on the federal decentralise system. In doing that, it is important to stress that the existing legal aspect does require slight adjustment especially granting the Houses of Assembly of State and state judiciary reasonable autonomy to checkmate the excesses of the SGs. Moreover, accomplishing this will significantly restructure and improve the operational aspect of the relationship for a virile local government system.

Published: August 2021

Pengurusan disiplin sekolah merupakan aspek yang penting dalam memastikan kehidupan murid lebih berkualiti tinggi. Setiap sekolah mempunyai sistem peraturan masing-masing yang diwujudkan bagi membendung masalah disiplin para murid. Sungguhpun begitu, murid sering mempamerkan tingkah laku yang negatif walaupun peraturan sudah ditetapkan. Ini menunjukkan bahawa sistem pengurusan disiplin sekolah masih lagi tidak diber penekanan dalam memastikan kehidupan murid lebih berkualiti. Justeru, kajian ini dijalankan bagi mengenal pasti hubungan pengurusan disiplin sekolah dan kualiti kehidupan murid sekolah menengah di Semenanjung Utara Malaysia. Seramai 539 orang murid tingkatan empat terlibat dalam kajian ini yang dipilih menggunakan pensampelan pelbagai peringkat. Instrumen pengurusan disiplin sekolah mengandungi 18 item yang diadaptasikan daripada Kalaichalvi (2012). Di samping itu, instrumen kualiti kehidupan murid mengandungi sepuluh item dan diolah daripada Stegar et al. (2006). Dapatan menunjukkan bahawa tahap pengurusan disiplin sekolah adalah tinggi (M=4.09), manakala kualiti kehidupan murid turut berada pada tahap yang tinggi (M=3,94). Keputusan kajian turut mendapati bahawa terhadap hubungan positif yang sederhana di antara kedua-dua pemboleh ubah dengan nilai korelasi, r = 0.45. Secara keseluruhannya, pengurusan disiplin sekolah mempunyai peranan yang besar dalam membentuk kualiti kehidupan seseorang murid. Mereka akan lebih patuh dan mempamerkan tingkah laku yang unggul sekiranya tahap pengurusan disiplin di sesuatu sekolah ditadbir dengan baik.

Published: August 2021

Budaya politik wanita Cina di Semenanjung Malaysia bersifat pasif. Fenomena ini dapat dilihat melalui bilangan wanita Cina antaranya di dalam Parlimen dan DUN. Malahan bilangan wanita Cina di peringkat pembuat keputusan dalam parti berorientasikan masyarakat Cina seperti DAP serta MCA masih lagi rendah, walaupun sistem kuota 30 peratus wanita telah dibentuk. Proses sosialisasi politik melalui agen sosialisasi politik merupakan antara indikator penting yang mempengaruhi budaya politik wanita Cina di Semenanjung Malaysia. Agen sosialisasi ini dilihat tidak berdiri sendiri dan saling berkait seperti yang diketengahkan melalui teori intersectionality dan telah memberikan kesan berbeza kepada wanita. Kajian kualitatif ini mengenal pasti agen sosialisasi politik melalui proses sosialisasi politik, yang telah mempengaruhi budaya politik wanita Cina di Semenanjung Malaysia. Temu bual secara intensif telah dijalankan ke atas tujuh orang informan dalam kalangan perwakilan wanita Cina, seorang ahli politik lelaki, aktivis wanita Cina dari Organisasi Bukan Kerajaan (NGO) dan ahli akademik. Hasil temu bual dianalisis di mana proses transkripsi temubual telah dikodkan dan ditemakan. Tema ini kemudiannya telah dibahagikan kepada dua iaitu agen sosialisasi politik lingkaran dalaman dan agen sosialisasi politik lingkaran luaran. Agen sosialisasi lingkaran dalaman terdiri daripada pendidikan, ekonomi, budaya, agama, keluarga serta gender. Agen sosialisasi lingkaran luaran pula terdiri daripada NGO/persatuan, parti politik dan masyarakat. Model Agen Sosialisasi Politik Wanita Cina melalui dimensi intersectionality turut dibangunkan untuk menggambarkan hubung kait agen sosialisasi politik wanita Cina di Semenanjung Malaysia.

Socio-Cultural Gender Norms and Economic Barriers in The Context of Rural High School Girls’ Dropout in Bangladesh: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Arafat Afia , Ahmad Noor Azizah , Shaik Ismail Sharifah Fazliyaton
Published: August 2021

While attending high schools, in Bangladesh, rural school girls face the pressure of socio-cultural gender norms and the barriers of economic deprivation. This paper aims to analyze the multifaceted connection between gender norms and economic deprivation of families in rural Bangladesh; and how the dynamics of the connection affect high school girls’ opportunities of further education. The paper identifies the major factors that lead girls to drop out of school. In-depth qualitative interview sessions were conducted with 5 rural high school dropout girls. The analysis incorporates both thematic and narrative analyses. The study finds that gender norms, socioeconomic realities, deprivation and poverty work as barriers; and affect girl’s future education by restricting girl’s opportunities and social mobility with the support of discriminatory gender norms and practices. Parents compromise on girls’ education by giving gender norms a priority. Instead of encouraging girls’ future education parents tend to ensure their daughter’s future in an early marriage. Among the financially challenged families, girls’ domestic duties are prioritized over their aspiration of getting education. Most parents are concerned about the sexual security/chastity of their girls, which also force girls to drop out of high schools. Few parents/guardians who encourage and support girls’ education usually take the initiative to bring changes by resisting social norms that obstruct and limit girls’ opportunities. The paper concludes that in the context of persistent socio-cultural gender norms, resistance against regressive gender ideologies and social norms are needed to bring positive changes in gender socialization.
Barbados towards 100% Renewable Energy: Case Scenarios for 2030 National Energy Target Plans
Authors: Marshall Sheldon , Koon Koon Randy
Published: August 2021

The integration of renewable energy (RE) into the overall energy mix of Caribbean nations has been increasing in recent times. The volatile nature of the carbon-based industry through fluctuations in prices of fossil fuel based-products renders it necessary to promote an aggressive energy profile transition to renewable energy, as this is crucial to energy security in these vulnerable Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The nation of Barbados has notably understood this reality and, as such, its government has endorsed the approach of 100% RE implementation by 2030. This paper explores three distinctive annual growth rate (AGR) scenarios to assess the impact on the expected power generation, economic and environmental parameters through the period of 2019-2030. Notable findings at a high case scenario for 2030 (at an AGR of 3%) projects a power generation of 1.343 Tera-watts-hour (TWh), which will displace 790,500 barrels of oil equivalent (boe), resulting in an abatement of approximately 0.95 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Assessment of the Emerging Landscape of Unmanned Aerial Systems in Trinidad and Tobago
Authors: Al-Tahir Raid , Lalla Giatri K.
Published: August 2021

Interest in the civilian applications of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) has been growing worldwide, especially in government and commercial tasks such as surveillance, search and rescue, inspection of infrastructure, agriculture, mining, and mapping. Likewise, Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) has been witnessing a growing interest and application of commercial and non-commercial UAS operations. However, there is little assessment for the growth of the UAS market nor is there characterisation of UAS-based activities since the pertinent regulations established in 2016. This study seeks to formally identify the emerging UAS landscape in T&T during the period 2015 to 2019. As such, this study maps and characterises the spatial and temporal patterns of UAS distribution, then appraises the various categories for the existing operations. To achieve these goals, this study utilised qualitative and quantitative techniques of Geoinformatics. The intent for this study is to provide a perspective on the growth and the implications of the UAS industry in T&T, and to guide strategic planning among organisations with a stake in the emergence of UAS into civil airspace.
Spatio-temporal Kriging of Lower Caribbean Wind Data
Authors: Ramsamooj Neil
Published: August 2021

Planning of a wind farm location requires significant data. However, wind speed data sets in the lower Caribbean are usually incomplete. This paper considers imputation by spatio-temporal kriging using data from neighbouring locations. Temporal basis functions with spatial covariates are used to model diurnal wind speed cyclicity. The residual set of our spatio-temporal model is modelled as a Gaussian spatial random field. Fitted models may be used for spatial prediction as well as imputation. Examples of predictions are illustrated using two months of hourly data from eight Caribbean locations with prediction accuracy being assessed by cross validation and residuals.

Environmental Education: Revealing Some Current Problems from Personal Opinion
Authors: Hsu Chia-Hsuan
Published: August 2021

Air and water pollution, wildlife habitat loss, soil desertification, and other environmental problems affect cities and the surrounding environment. Thus, increasing public environmental awareness and environmental literacy are essential for mitigating these problems. Although environmental education has been critical in solving problems that affect humans and the environment for more than five decades, the question remains whether the environment is improving or being degraded. Educators are devoted to popularizing environmental education, but as a result of many problems, people are gradually becoming paralyzed. Efficient methods of motivating people to perform environmentally friendly behaviors are required. Moreover, the term “environmental education” has been abused in some situations to receive government benefits. Thus, as an environmental educator and researcher, I provide opinions and reveal problems in environmental education.
DE LOS PAISAJES PROTEGIDOS A LA PROTECCIÓN DEL PAISAJE: UN RETO PENDIENTE

Published: August 2021

Desde hace mucho tiempo el paisaje ha sido objeto de atención
por parte del ordenamiento jurídico, tanto internacional como interno. Sin embargo,
también durante mucho tiempo el paisaje ha sido abordado desde una
perspectiva excesivamente reduccionista y sectorial. El Convenio Europeo del Paisaje,
del año 2000, ha puesto fin a ese modo de entender el paisaje, acuñando un
concepto de contornos ciertamente amplios y vocación integradora. No obstante,
las nuevas directrices que definen el contenido del Convenio aún no han sido incorporadas
plenamente a nuestro ordenamiento jurídico, en el que siguen primando
los ¿¿paisajes protegidos¿¿ sobre la protección del paisaje.

REFLEXIONES PARA UNA NUEVA REGULACIÓN CONSTITUCIONAL DEL DEFENSOR DEL PUEBLO
Authors: DÍEZ BUESO LAURA
Published: August 2021

Tras más de treinta años desde la incorporación del Defensor del
Pueblo al ordenamiento español, este artículo propone una reformulación de su
diseño constitucional partiendo de dos criterios: por un lado, cuál es hoy el modelo
de Ombudsman que más se ajusta a las necesidades de nuestro sistema
institucional; y, por otro, la forma en que el Defensor ha desarrollado su función
como garante de derechos. A partir de aquí, las propuestas de reforma se agrupan
en dos apartados. El primero dedicado a aquellos caracteres que, por su carácter
esencial, deberían incluirse necesariamente en una eventual reforma constitucional
del Defensor del Pueblo; entre ellos destaca la concreción de las mayorías para
elegirlo y la duración de su mandato. El segundo apartado recoge los rasgos que
convendría incorporar si la opción de la reforma constitucional fuera la de concretar
al máximo la regulación de las instituciones estatales; entre ellos sobresale la
autonomía reglamentaria y su capacidad para iniciar expedientes de oficio.

Herriaren Defendatzailea Espainiako ordenamenduan sortu zenetik

gure sistema instituzionalaren beharretara gehien egokitzen den Ombudsman
eredua; bestetik, Defendatzaileak nola bete duen eskubideen bermatzaile-eginkizuna.
Hortik abiatuta, erreforma-proposamenak bi ataletan biltzen dira. Lehendabizikoan,
funtsezkoak izateagatik, Herriaren Defendatzailearen balizko erreforma
konstituzionalean nahitaez kontuan hartu beharko liratekeen ezaugarriak jasotzen
dira; haien artean, azpimarratzekoa da hura aukeratzeko gehiengoaren eta haren
agintaldiaren iraupenaren zehaztapena. Bigarren atalean, erreforma konstituzionalean
Estatuko erakundeak ahalik gehiena arautzea aukeratuko balitz, zer ezaugarri
gehitzea komeniko litzatekeen jasotzen da; haien artean, erregelamendu-autonomia
eta ofiziozko espedienteak abiarazteko duten ahalmena nabarmentzen dira.

After more than thirty years since the inclusión of the Ombudsman
within the Spanish legal order, this article proposes a new design as of two criteria: on
the one hand, which model of Ombudsman approaches nowadays better to the necessities
of our institutional system; and on the other hand, the way by which the
Ombudsman has developed its activities as guarantor of rights. From this point on, the
proposals for reform can be put into two parts. The first one devoted to those features
that due to its essential nature should necessarily be included in a prospective constitutional
reform of the Ombudsman; among them it stands out the majorities required
for the selection of the Ombudsman and the length of its office. The second part reflects
the characteristics that should have if the option for the constitutional amendment
would be to specify to the maximum the regulations of the State institutions; among

Memories as fact-based presentation by a soviet author at the beginning of the XX century
Authors:   Maikop state technological university, Khuako F.N.
Published: August 2021

Unusual for traditional literary criticism, the article examines the problem of genre attribution of memories that have existed for a long time (from the seventeenth – eighteenth centuries) as a form of presentation in Russian literature. This genre type turns out to be a conditional focus of the history of civilization, as well as a concentrate of thought and feeling of an individual member of society. But the tactics and possibilities of a comprehensive examination of memoirs have not yet been identified. As a result, the most highlighted thesis of consideration is the following: in the process of assessing the informational richness of a memoir text, its characteristic individual tonality should by no means be considered a disadvantage. On the contrary, personal judgments contained in memories increase their value as historical information.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the prospects for the development and preservation of the ethnic identity of the Adyghe youth, the question of determining the place of the traditional institution «Adyghe Khabze» in the modern Adyghe society is raised. The historical context of the formation of the Adyghe ethnos is considered, Professor I.I. Maremshaova believes that the formation of the common Caucasian proto-archetypes took place under the influence of significant outside influence. Modern attempts to reconstruct and restore the glorious past do not take into account that it has long since sunk into oblivion, there is only a shadow of past victories, and we, in particular, the Circassians, peck at our heroic past, extracting past merits from there. It is imperative to create an image of a progressive region and nation. We need historical heroes and characters to create national examples and landmarks, the Adygs need not only the images of military leaders and athletes, but scientists, doctors, firefighters, modern figures of art and education.

O Sistema Agroindustrial do Leite brasileiro passou por mudanças institucionais entre 1990 e 2018. As Instruções Normativas referentes ao leite estabelecidas pelo governo federal entre 2002 e 2018 exigiram dos agentes novos parâmetros técnicos de produção que podem impactar a organização industrial do setor. Partindo dessa mudança institucional, este estudo pretende responder a seguinte questão: Quais os efeitos das mudanças institucionais nas relações entre produtores rurais e laticínios no SAG do leite no Brasil? O objetivo do estudo é analisar os efeitos da mudança institucional IN 62, nas especificidades dos ativos dedicados, temporal e locacional, e suas implicações na relação entre produtores e processadores de leite. O estudo valeu-se de uma abordagem qualitativa com questionários aplicados a produtores e entrevistas com processadores de duas das principais regiões produtoras de leite no Brasil. Em Ponte Nova-MG, tradicional produtora de leite, aumentaram as estratégias de fidelização com contratos formais de pagamento por qualidade e assistência técnica em função do crescimento da concorrência, decorrente das mudanças nas especificidades de ativos na relação entre produtores e processadores. Em Castro-PR, a IN 62 não alterou as relações entre produtores e processadores.
