TIES THAT BIND AND FRAY: AGGLOMERATION ECONOMIES AND LOCATION CHOICE
Authors:   , Donovan Stuart Burnet
Published: October 2023

Why does an increasing share of the population live in cities? Why do some cities prosper and grow, while others struggle and decline? What can cities do to improve their prospects, and those of their inhabitants? This dissertation responds to questions of this ilk, building on a body of literature that traces its historical roots to the start of the industrial revolution and the emergence of economics as a social science. At a conceptual level, the contents of this dissertation are united by the desire to better understand the attributes that make some locations more attractive than others. To this end, this dissertation presents the results of research into agglomeration economies – that is, urban economic advantages and disadvantages – and considers how they influence the location choices of people and firms. These are the economic ties that bind us together in cities or, when they fray, split us apart. As well as enriching our understanding of these questions, this dissertation seeks to highlight the implications of these findings for urban policy and research.

Paraphrasing refers to writing that either differs in its textual content or is dissimilar in rearrangement of wordsbut conveys the same meaning. Identifying a paraphrase is exceptionally important in various real life applicationssuch as Information Retrieval, Plagiarism Detection, Text Summarization and Question Answering. A large amountof work in Paraphrase Detection has been done in English and many Indian Languages. However, there is noexisting system to identify paraphrases in Marathi. This is the first such endeavor in the Marathi Language.A paraphrase has differently structured sentences, and since Marathi is a semantically strong language, thissystem is designed for checking both statistical and semantic similarities of Marathi sentences. Statistical similaritymeasure does not need any prior knowledge as it is only based on the factual data of sentences. The factual datais calculated on the basis of the degree of closeness between the word-set, word-order, word-vector and word-distance. Universal Networking Language (UNL) speaks about the semantic significance in sentence without anysyntactic points of interest. Hence, the semantic similarity calculated on the basis of generated UNL graphs for twoMarathi sentences renders semantic equality of two Marathi sentences. The total paraphrase score was calculatedafter joining statistical and semantic similarity scores, which gives a judgment on whether there is paraphrase ornon-paraphrase about the Marathi sentences in question.
Enabling semantic interoperability of regional trendsof disease surveillance data for Namibia througha health-standards-based approach
Authors:   Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa, Angula Nikodemus , Dlodo Nomusa ,   Rhodes University, Grahamastown, South Africa
Published: October 2023

The Ministry of Health and Social Services in Namibia under the division of epidemiology uses a manual paper-based approach to capture disease surveillance data through 5 levels of reporting, the levels being communitylevel, health facility level, district level, regional level, and national level. As a result, this method of communicatingand exchanging disease surveillance information is cost and time consuming, which prevents disease surveillanceinformation from reaching the head office on time. The current method used to exchange and communicate diseasesurveillance data is a manual process and very time consuming due to the fact that surveillance officers have toorganize and store the files and hunt down the information when it is needed. Therefore, the study developed aprototype that aggregates disease surveillance data from 14 regions in Namibia and can thus enable the diseaseservice office to capture disease surveillance data through the use of mobile devices. The functionality of theprototype would allow a disease surveillance officer in one regional office to access the data of other regionaloffice in real time. The method used to communicate disease surveillance data is through the excel spreadsheet(IDSR), which is called the integrated disease surveillance and response. Furthermore, the excel file will be sentto the relevant authority through email. However, we still do not have a web-based system to report cases ofdiseases. Instead, this is a process starting from the intermediate hospital disease surveillance data, which iscaptured then sent to the regional office and from the regional office to the district office and then to the nationaloffice and from the national office the information is further sent to the WHO and other development partners aswell as to the top management or to the highest authority. So it does not end at the national level but goes tomanagement such as the Permanent Secretary, and the data is used to inform the development partners, and thenational surveillance office prepares official letters to the management as a form of reporting disease surveillancedata. The symphonic surveillance office helps to detect a particular disease. The doctors send an investigationcase form to the laboratory for testing the disease that has been identified.

Published: October 2023

This study synthesizes existing research to explore factors affecting student attrition in Thai higher education institutions and develop a causal model for dropout risk. The synthesis uses a mixed-method approach following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, drawing on six years of Thai contextual studies on student attrition, academic intention, commitment, and persistence. Through a systematic review of multiple databases, 21 quantitative or mixed-method studies were identified for inclusion, which yielded 107 items representing 186 occurrences related to student dropout or persistence factors in Thai higher education. These items were grouped into nine clusters: academic integration, attitudinal and behavioral factors, classroom and institutional environment, emotional distress, family support, financial considerations, institutional support, social integration, and student satisfaction. The model synthesizes research findings on student attrition in Thai universities, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding the factors influencing students' persistence and dropout risk. By considering the interplay between these factors, the model aids in developing targeted interventions and informed policy decisions that promote academic success and ensure the long-term efficacy of Thai higher education institutions. The model's application can potentially guide researchers, educators, and policymakers in addressing the challenges students face within the Thai higher education system, ultimately fostering a more supportive and conducive environment for academic achievement.

Analysis of folkloric terms in Pashto language
Authors: AZIZ Khan Mohammad , ZAHED Muhammad Zahir
Published: October 2023

The Pashto language encompasses a rich array of legendary terminology, with numerous words employed by past leaders that include both mythological and metaphorical connotations. In addition to their surface-level significance, a significant proportion of phrases within the Pashto language are employed to convey a secondary, or intrinsic, meaning like ‘Diwali Xaro ‘Bird of wall’. If we explain this kind of term, (Diwali Shiro) means the beautiful girls of the neighborhood. De Aasman Kat, "The Sky Bed." When elucidating the word "De Aasman Kat," it denotes an individual who resides within a realm of fantasy, wherein they inhabit an imaginative and non-existent world, persistently engrossed in fanciful musings and reverie. This individual may exhibit a tendency to disregard the practicalities of existence and instead engage in a deep involvement with their imaginative realm. This behavior can be attributed to individuals seeking to avoid unpleasant realities or distressing experiences, or alternatively, it may stem from a desire to engage in creative endeavors and construct novel narratives and realms.

Language serves as a significant tool for comprehension and communication, and folklore assumes a substantial role in the process of societal advancement. Significant contributions have been made in the domain of Pashto folklore, resulting in the compilation of many literary works. The motif has been observed in both poetic and prose literary works. The early and later works of Pashto literature encompass a plethora of folkloric compositions. Pashto grammar books serve as valuable resources for illustrating grammatical concepts, often incorporating elements of folklore within their textual content.

Published: October 2023

God created the first humans, namely Adam and Eve, both were created in the image and likeness of God and there was no sin in them, but Adam and Eve ultimately fell into sin because of human greed and violating what God commanded. They ate the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil which God had forbidden them to eat. Because when they eat it they die and death is what makes humans sin and lose the glory of God from themselves. In the book of Romans 3:23, it says "Sin separates humans from God and humans cannot come to God because of the conflict that occurs between humans and God. So sin leads humans to eternal death and destruction. But because God's love is so great for His special creation, namely humans, who are in the image and likeness of Him, that He took the initiative to free humans from the destruction caused by human sin itself.

Published: October 2023

Este artigo tem por objetivo ampliar a compreensão sobre a visão de Caio Prado Júnior no contexto da formação social, política e econômica do Brasil, em especial quanto aos impactos da chegada da família real. Explorando relações de poder e dependência, a transição política e social é examinada, com foco na crítica de Prado ao sistema elitista e à pequena participação popular. Prado analisa o pacto colonial, onde a desigual distribuição de terras é identificada como uma força motriz das desigualdades brasileiras. A chegada da Família Real é vista como uma transição política, sem alterações estruturais. Prado busca identificar os obstáculos estruturais decorrentes do passado colonial para possibilitar a pavimentação do caminho rumo a uma nação verdadeiramente desenvolvida. Suas análises continuam relevantes ao examinar elementos limitantes do passado colonial e sua persistência na realidade política e social do Brasil, promovendo uma reflexão sobre as dificuldades de construção de uma nação plenamente desenvolvida.

Published: October 2023

Este artigo apresenta uma aplicação da Transformada de Hilbert Huang (HHT) para analisar os transitórios de alta frequência em um sistema de transmissão gerado por uma falta em linha de transmissão com o objetivo de determinar sua localização. A metodologia utilizada baseia-se na teoria das ondas viajantes, onde, em função do tempo de propagação dos sinais entre o ponto de falta e os terminais da linha e empregando o HHT, é determinada a localização da falta. A técnica de localização de faltas utiliza dados registrados de um terminal da linha de transmissão. O algoritmo implementado no MATLAB que executa o ATP apresenta resultados promissores para localização de faltas em sistemas de transmissão, não sofrendo interferência significativa na variação de parâmetros de falta como tipo de falta, resistência de falta e ângulo de incidência de falta na linha de transmissão
Enquadramentos culturais para a mulher – uma perspectiva Junguiana
Authors: Augusto Vanessa Maria Gondim , Martins José Clerton de Oliveira , Rueda Carlos Velázquez
Published: October 2023

A figura da mulher é culturalmente associada, no mundo ocidental, à imagem de docilidade, delicadeza e maternidade. Aquelas que não entram nesse padrão cultural são, em sua grande maioria, julgadas por sua escolha de ser mulher. A partir daí, a depender da experiência de vida da mulher, podem ou não surgir algumas neuroses. A mulher não possui apenas um caminho possível de orientação de padrão na cultura. O objetivo geral deste artigo é refletir os enquadramentos que a cultura oferece a mulher a partir do olhar de autores junguianos. Os dados nos levam a inferir que o o enquadramento da mulher passa por um processo de construção desde a infância e que ela se lança na cultura não apenas através da maternidade. Também são possibilidades o trabalho, uma ideologia e as relações.

The objective was to determine the phytochemical composition and evaluate the in silico and in vivo biocidal activity of the essential oil of Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf in an Aedes aegypti model. The phytochemical composition was analyzed using Gas Chromatography coupled to the Mass Spectrometer, while molecular docking was used to evaluate the potential for inhibition of Acetylcholinesterase. The ovicidal, larvicidal, and adulticidal activities were investigated to evaluate the capacity of the essential oil to inhibit egg hatching and to cause mortality in larvae and adults of A. aegypti. The phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of 11 different compounds, with emphasis on β-myrcene (24.03%), β-citral (27.45%), and Neral (35.36%). In molecular docking, the compounds Geraniol (3.96%) and Linalool (2.77%) proved to be the best inhibitors. As for insecticidal activities, the essential oil of C. citratus was effective in inhibiting the hatching of A. aegypti eggs and was highly toxic to larvae. However, toxicity in adults of A. aegypti was incipient. These results indicate that the essential oil of C. citratus has potential as a candidate for the development of new insecticides aimed at controlling the immature stages of A. aegypti, possibly due to the inhibition of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase.

Objective: The main of this study is to examine the mediation role of knowledge management (KM) with customer relationship management (CRM) for customer orientation (CO) and technological capabilities (TC) in Sri Lankan travel agencies.   Method:  Through simple random sampling in this quantitative research, 350 questionnaires were disseminated to travel agencies. The gathered data was subsequently analyzed with SPSS for statistical evaluation and SPSS Amos for Structural Equation Modeling.   Results: Contrary to expectations, the results statistically uncover an absence of mediation between KM and CRM concerning CO and TC. This implies that, within the confines of Sri Lankan travel agencies, KM and CRM, albeit pivotal, don't act as direct mediators for CO or TC.   Research, Practical & Social implications: The study opens new avenues for research by challenging traditional beliefs in the sector, suggests that Sri Lankan travel industry executives prioritize direct customer and technological engagement over-relying on KM and CRM, and underscores the potential for improved public trust and resilience in Sri Lanka's post-COVID tourism landscape.   Originality/Value: This study uniquely analyzes the lack of mediation between KM with CRM for CO and TC in Sri Lankan travel agencies. Offering empirical evidence, strengthens our understanding of the complexities in the interactions between these factors, challenging previous assumptions.

Published: October 2023

Globally, maternal mortality is an indicator to monitor maternal health services. In 2010, the WHO indicated that maternal deaths in Nigeria contributed to 14% of global maternal deaths. In 2018 Nigeria’s maternal mortality rate was 512 deaths per 100,000 live births. The WHO and other key partners developed the Safe Childbirth Checklist (SCC) as a facility-based tool to serve as reminder to help health workers adhere to evidence-based practices to ensure safety of the mother and baby. SCC has reportedly been adopted for use in other countries like Brazil and Cameroon. The objective of this study was to assess the Doctors and Nurses’ Knowledge and Use of SCC in public tertiary hospitals in Rivers State. Descriptive cross-sectional study was used. Structured questionnaires were self-administered to 207 respondents (35 nurses and 67 doctors at RSUTH, 49 nurses and 56 doctors at UPTH) working in obstetrics and gynaecology department. Chi-square was used to test the hypothesis. Descriptive statistics was used to assess the responses of the respondents. Responses obtained at Teaching Hospital A showed that 80% of the Nurses/Midwives have no knowledge of SCC tool, 100% of the House Officers have not seen the tool; 90% of the Resident Doctors have not also used SCC tool. At Teaching Hospital B, 80% of the Nurses have no knowledge of SCC tool; 20% of the Nurses had seen it earlier. The study showed evidence that SCC tool is not in use in the two tertiary hospitals in Rivers State. Null hypothesis was accepted.

More than 500,000 women die each year from pregnancy and childbirth-related causes. Gestational hypertension complicates the pregnancy of 6-17% of healthy primigravida women and 2-4% of multiparous women. Maternal nutrition is a major factor for avoiding many complications in pregnancy and bring about good pregnancy outcomes. The aim of the study was to assess the Pattern of Pica Practice and Prevalence of Gestational Hypertension among Antenatal Attendees in Tertiary Hospitals in Rivers State. This study was a descriptive cross sectional study conducted on 250 antenatal attendees between the ages of 18 and 45 years in tertiary hospitals in Rivers State. It was a non-invasive self-administered questionnaire based study. Data obtained from the study was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 and values of 0.05 and below were considered significant. The result obtained from the study revealed a 14.0% prevalence of gestational hypertension among antenatal attendees. It also revealed a 31.6% pattern of pica among the attendees. The most common forms of pica in the study were Geophagia (75.9%), Pagophagia (64.6%), Amylophagia (20.3%), and lastly Lithophagia (16.5%). The frequency of pica was 55.7% daily, 8.9% thrice a week and 36.4% weekly. Those with mild pica were about 31.6%, moderate pica was 55.7% and severe was about 12.7%. At the end of the study, it was ascertained that there was a 14% prevalence of gestational hypertension among antenatal attendees at tertiary hospitals in Port Harcourt. The pattern of pica among the women was 31.6% and consisted of Geophagia, Pagophagia, amylophagia and lithophagia. There was a significant association between sociodemographic characteristics such as age, marital status, occupation and ethnicity with pica practice. Clinical and obstetric characteristics like gravidity, parity, blood pressure and f
