Authors: Adamus Jagoda , Przygodzki Zbigniew
Published: June 2022

Ekonomiczna wartość przestrzeni publicznych. Kapitał, wycena, zarządzanie to pozycja wpisująca się w szeroki nurt badań nad przestrzenią miejską. Autorzy wychodzą jednak poza prowadzone dotychczas badania na gruncie architektury i socjologii. W książce przedstawiona została bowiem perspektywa ekonomiczna w badaniach przestrzeni publicznych, która potraktowana została jako dobro ekonomiczne. Celem książki jest identyfikacja: obszarów kumulacji kapitałów, które posiadają wymierną, ekonomiczną wartość i znaczenie w procesach rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego; sposobów szacowania wartości przestrzeni publicznych w celu ekonomicznego dowodzenia ich znaczenia i wagi w procesach rozwoju; technik i sposobów koordynacji procesów zarządzania, czyli modeli efektywnego gospodarowania przestrzeniami publicznymi. W publikacji zidentyfikowano podstawowe kapitały zawarte w przestrzeniach publicznych (marki, dziedzictwa kulturowego, sieci, społeczny, kreatywny i rzeczowy), które determinują jej wartość ekonomiczną. Logiczną konsekwencją rozważań jest druga część książki, poświęcona metodom ekonomicznej wyceny wartości przestrzeni publicznych. Świadomość ekonomicznej wartości przestrzeni publicznych jest podstawowym warunkiem skutecznego zarządzania. Stąd w trzeciej części czytelnik znajdzie szczegółowo zaprezentowane i zilustrowane przykładami biznesowe modele efektywnego zarządzania przestrzeniami publicznymi.

Authors: . Nilahayati , . Rosnina , Syahputra Jaka
Published: June 2022

Background: Soybean is one of the most important commodities around the globe. Increasing soybean production absolutely continue to be pursued because soybean consumption increased steadily. One way that can be done is assembly technology of new superior varieties that have better and adaptive properties. The aim of this study was to determine molecular diversity of soybean mutants lines resulting from gamma irradiation in M6 generation. Methods: Molecular analysis with RAPD markers was carried out in the Tropical Balitbu Laboratory Sumatera Barat, Indonesia in November 2021. The tested genotypes consisted of 8 genotypes, namely Kipas Putih variety (elderly), Anjasmoro variety (comparison), M.1.1.3, M.5.2.1, M.5.2.3 l, M.1.1.8, M.1.1.9 and M.1.1.17 mutant lines. The primers used were RAPD 2 (5´-GTTTCGCTCC-3´), RAPD. 3 (5´-GTAGACCCGT-3´), RAPD 4 (5´-AAGAGCCCGT-3´) and RAPD 5 (5´-AACGCGCAAC-3´). Result: The results of the RAPD analysis showed that there were differences in size of amplicon between the mutants and the parents, namely the RAPD 2 primer (1400 bp band) and the RAPD 5 primer (550 bp and 1000 bp band). The parents had a pattern of DNA bands but in the M.5.2.3 and M.1.1.9 mutants the DNA band was absent. The parent RAPD 5 primers (1000 bp, 550 bp) had a DNA banding pattern but in the M.1.1.3 and M.1.1.8 mutants there was no DNA banding pattern. This indicated that the M.1.1.3, M.5.2.3, M.1.1.8 and M.1.1.9 mutants had different genetic diversity from their parent (Kipas Putih variety).

Published: June 2022

Background: Cotton is globally important crop valued for its single cell trichome called fibre. Cotton fibre is popularly called as white gold or king of fibre crops. Cotton fibre or seed cotton yield per plant is the economically important traits which is dependent other yield attributing traits and also influenced by the fibre quality traits. So present study was focused on the association of yield and yield attributing and fibre quality traits. Methods: An experiment was conducted at College of Agriculture, Vijayapur campus during late kharif season during 2020-21 to evaluate 145 advanced breeding lines of desi cotton along with checks using augmented design in 7 blocks for yield and yield attributing traits. The material used in the study was developed by College of agriculture, Dharwad at Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding. Correlation and path coefficient analysis was conducted for twelve yield and fibre quality traits. Result: Significant positive correlation of seed cotton yield per plant with boll weight, number of bolls per plant, ginning outturn and fibre fineness was reported, whereas negative significant correlation was reported by days to 50% flowering with seed cotton yield per plant. Path analysis revealed that highest positive direct effect on seed cotton yield per plant was shown by number of bolls per plant followed by boll weight and highest negative direct effect was shown by fibre fineness. Highest indirect effect on seed cotton yield per plant was contributed by. ginning outturn. The traits that are significantly positively correlated and having positive effect on seed cotton yield play a major role in the selection of high yielding seed cotton genotypes.

Authors: Basary M.R.H. , Premakumar K. , Afreen S.M.M.S.
Published: June 2022

Background: Jams are typically created from fruit pulp and juice, a combination of fruits, or a combination of fruits and vegetables. The research was conducted using papaya (Carica papaya), pineapple (Ananas comusus) pulps incorporated with Aloe vera gel to prepare blended jam in order to determine the acceptability of Aloe vera gel in fruit jam and select the best combination for jam preparation in terms of chemical constituents as well as sensory attributes with ten weeks of storage. Methods: The pulps were mixed in proportions according to the treatments and processed into jams with five repetitions in CRD (completely randomized design). The physico-chemical and organoleptic properties of jams have been evaluated. The most favored formulations on the day of preparation were T2, (Papaya: Pineapple: Aloe vera, 150:150:05), T4 (150:150:15) and T5 (150:150:20), based on sensory consistency characteristics, which were studied at 10 weeks of storage time. Result: Total jam results in T5 and T4 ratios were similarly best for higher levels of chemical constituents, i.e., total soluble solids, titratable acidity, moisture, ascorbic acid, pH and a lower percentage of total sugar. All chemical components were found to increase by up to 10 weeks with the exception of pH, moisture and ascorbic acid, which decreased with storage time. T4 was better found to have higher aroma, texture, taste and overall acceptability score with respect to sensory characters. During storage, all sensorial characters were found to decrease. In view of the above chemical constituents and the sensory characteristics of the substance, the 150:150:15 (T4) ratio was found to be better than the remainder of the jam ratio during storage.
Pupil diversity in teacher preparation curriculum
Authors: Kratochvílová Jana , Lojdová Katerina , Vlčková Katerina
Published: June 2022

This study focused on the concept of pupil diversity in the planned curriculum of teacher preparation programmes. The professional training of teachers influences the knowledge, skills and attitudes student teachers regarding diversity (Akiba, 2011); however, most research studies have utilised quantitative research focused on planned curriculum or learning outcomes. We chose a qualitative approach to uncover how pupil diversity is implemented within the planned curriculums of selected teacher education programmes. Based on a content analysis of syllabi and conceptual documents from teacher preparation programmes at a selected faculty of education, two conceptual approaches towards diversity within curriculums, one explicit and one implicit, are described. These concepts can be further interpreted in relation to the ideological, content and methodological dimensions of the curriculum.
Insights into community engagement at a University of Technology in South Africa
Authors: Chandramohan Sandhya , Bhagwan Raisuyah
Published: June 2022

Community engagement (CE) has been identified as an important pillar alongside teaching and research in higher education. Despite this it has emerged slowly within the South African landscape due to a lack of understanding regarding engagement. Drawing on in-depth interviews, this study sought to explore how academics (N=14), at a University of Technology in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa understood CE and the processes involved in engagement. The study found that CE was a symbiotic relationship that involved collaboration with communities in order to understand community needs, nurture community partnerships, and ensure sustainable engagement initiatives. Finally, the data reflected that in order to enable social change, the community should be honoured as a source of knowledge and the university should recognise the benefits of engagement.
Towards a humane learner punishment: A Lesotho secondary schools' teachers perspective
Authors: Rakolobe Kelello , Tlali Tebello
Published: June 2022

This study examined teachers’ interpretation of the Lesotho Education Act of 2010’s phrase “cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment” and its impact on how learners are disciplined. For some researchers, punishment in schools is associated with corporal punishment. For this reason, researchers often focus on the issue of abolishing corporal punishment, thereby overlooking other non-physical forms of punishment despite them being equally agonising. This study departed from the interpretivist paradigm and adopted a qualitative approach. An open-ended qualitative research questionnaire was used to generate data. This was followed up with focus group interviews conducted with the teachers in some selected Lesotho secondary schools. The findings indicate that teachers interpret the above phrase as a mere referring to the abolishment of corporal punishment. Hence teachers still use other forms of cruel, degrading and inhumane punishments such as insulting and ridiculing the learners, despite the legislation protecting children against abuse. These forms of teacher behaviour not only constitute learner abuse, but also compromise the professional ethics by which teachers ought to abide. The recommendation made by the study is that teachers should be mindful of the teaching professional ethics taught to them during their pre-service training. In addition, Lesotho’s Ministry of Education and Training, in collaboration with other stakeholders, should train teachers on children’s rights and how to safeguard such rights in the school setting.
Parental level of education and career decision-making among Grade 12 learners in South Africa
Authors: Ajayi Oluwakemi , Moosa Moeniera , Aloka Peter
Published: June 2022

This study examined the relationship between parental level of education and career decision-making among Grade 12 learners in South Africa. The study was guided by Super’s life span theory. The ex-post facto research was used to determine if there is a relationship between learner’s career decision-making and parental level of education. The sample comprised 204 Grade 12 learners from six township secondary schools in Ekurhuleni East district, Gauteng, South Africa. The Career Decision Scale (CDS) was used to collect data. The responses were indicated on a 5-point Likert scale that measured learners’ career decisionmaking and parental level of education. Reliability of the CDS was ascertained using Cronbach’s alpha and a co-efficient value of .842 was reported. In addition, construct validity was ensured by Kaiser- Meyer-Oklin measure (KMO Index) and Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity. The inferential statistics with the support of the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Tukey HSD as post hoc tests were used to analyse data. The finding of the study shows that there is a significant relationship between parental level of education and learners’ career decision-making. The career decision-making mean score for the learners whose parental education is university level was significantly higher than the learners whose parents had secondary education (M. Diff.=.19, p=.02) and primary education (M. Diff.=.64, p<.01).Equally, a significant difference in the level of career decision-making was established between learners whose parents had college education and primary education, and between learners whose parents had secondary education and primary education. The study recommends that school principals should develop career talk programmes to facilitate learners’ career opportunities to better understand their career options, to encourage and support learners towards accomplishing career success.
School leaders’ responsibilities for ensuring safe schools for teaching and learning during COVID-19
Authors: Venketsamy Roy , Hu Zijing
Published: June 2022

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease was declared an international public health emergency as the virus spread across many countries and territories. Due to the rapid rate the virus was spreading, the South African president announced the closure of schools in March 2020. The protection of children and teachers was incredibly important. Precautions were necessary to prevent the potential spread of COVID-19 in school settings; however, care had to be taken to avoid stigmatising students and staff who may have been exposed to the virus. With a phased-in approach to grades returning to school, school leaders had to ensure that their environment was safe, conducive, welcoming, respectful, inclusive and supportive at all times. A qualitative case study, involving individual interviews with principals, was conducted using the Health Theoretical Framework of attitudes, behaviours and communication (ABCs) to investigate how school leaders were ensuring a safe and conducive environment for teachers and learners. The findings highlighted establishing an emergency School Management Team to be the COVID-19 point of contact, implementing social distancing, frequent sanitising, mask-wearing, daily screening, encouraging flexible school times and promoting the outdoor classroom. Staff with comorbidities were assigned noncontact duties.
Teachers’ experiences of parents' involvement in Foundation Phase learning during COVID-19
Authors: Grobler Annemie
Published: June 2022

This interpretive study documents experiences of teachers regarding the impact of parental participation on the learning process of Foundation Phase learners during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The period investigated stretched from the “hard” lockdown in South Africa instituted on 26 March 2020, until the reopening of the physical classroom for Foundation Phase learners on 24 August 2020. A qualitative approach was taken to generate data from participants who taught Grade 1 classes during 2020, using a self-constructed questionnaire with openand closed-ended items. The study population was localised to the Mangaung municipal area in the Free State, South Africa. The theoretical framework of socio-constructivism informed the inquiry. The key elements in this learning theory are the learners, curriculum, teachers and society. During the mentioned period, learners were deprived of the two key inputs of teachers and society, leading to an intensified dependency on parental involvement as a source of guidance. The questionnaire afforded teacher respondents the opportunity to voice their concerns, frustrations, successes and recommendations for future management of similar situations. Coding of the responses identified the theme of communication to emerge. Further thematic analysis refined the findings to indicate that teachers deemed parental involvement essential in i) providing technological support for their children; and ii) interpreting the tasks set for their Grade 1 learners. Barriers to effective communication as perceived by teachers were i) the language barrier where parents were unable to speak the language of learning and teaching of the school; ii) the digital divide posed by parents without effective digital support; and iii) the schooling level of parents who could not interpret the assignments for their children. The recommendation is that going forward, i) parents should have access to and embrace technological advances to support their children’s learning; ii) themselves practice a learning culture at home, and iii) model positive values to their children by active involvement in their learning.
A quasi-ethnographical exploration of how young learners establish their learning practices in their environmental space: The township community and their homes
Authors: Du Plooy Lucinda
Published: June 2022

This paper explores how two selected learners establish their learning practices in their environmental space, that is, their township community and home space. The study combines the lenses of “Space” and “Learning” to capture their movement in and around the township showing how they inhabit space, how they interact with networks and processes in their environment, and how they ultimately transcend their spatial positioning. Methodologically, this quasi-ethnographic study, underpinned by an interpretivist metatheoretical framework, draws on my field notes, verbatim responses acquired through interviews with these children and their parents, observations of their neighbourhood and their homes, photographs and artefacts. These qualitative research tools helped to address the main research question: What is the nature of the learning practices of learners in the environmental space; that is: the space of the township community and home? The results show that these learners and their parents produce multiple and hybrid literacies and engage in rich educational practices despite the lived realities of the township space. Furthermore, it shows that learners develop a productive agency to counterpoise their spatial positioning enabling them to become co-constructors of their lived space.
The experiences of teacher educators managing teaching and learning during times of crises at one initial teacher education provider in South Africa
Authors: Amos-Williams Taryn , Sayed Yusuf , Singh Marcina
Published: June 2022

As a response to the exponential increase in COVID-19 cases, the South African government implemented the closure of schools and many universities in March 2020, with some universities operating under partial lockdown conditions. In this context of closure and lockdown, many universities have shifted to forms of virtual and online learning. Teacher education programmes were no exception, with many teacher educators having to transform their teaching under COVID restrictions to prepare future teachers. This article presents a snapshot of how teacher educators responded to the COVID-19 crisis between 2020 and 2021, and the implications of what has been deemed “emergency remote modes” of teaching for the future of higher education pedagogy. We look specifically at the effect of COVID-19 on teacher educators’ sense of self and wellbeing at one institution in South Africa. These teacher educators teach on the Bachelor of Education Foundation Phase programme. We examine the way in which teacher educators in a university setting supported the learning needs of student teachers as they develop their skills and pedagogic approaches. This qualitative study included interviews with eight purposively sampled foundation phase teacher educators. Several themes emerged from the semi structured interviews. These include the implications of the pandemic on teacher educator pedagogy, the effects on teacher educator wellbeing, and the institutional context of education, including support mechanisms. Teacher educators highlighted possible solutions for the future and how institutions could best adapt its primary objective of teaching and learning during times of crises and disruptions.
Connecting embodied learning to social and environmental responsibility for the realisation of Life Orientation outcomes
Authors: Swarts Pieter
Published: June 2022

There is a lack of knowledge about how embodied educational practices can be used to challenge and problematise traditional Life Orientation teaching approaches that normally result in a lack of learner engagement on socio- environmental challenges. The objective of this small-scale exploratory qualitative study was therefore to establish whether Grade 10 Life Orientation teachers encouraged embodied learning experiences that are grounded in learners’ lived experiences, creativity, expressive potential and perspectives. Data were generated from lesson observations combined with semi-structured individual interviews that were analysed thematically. The findings revealed that the participating teachers struggled to transform complex social and environmental matters into concrete embodied educational experiences for their learners. An additional finding highlighted the importance of how the Life Orientation curricula can serve as a stimulus to aid an embodied teaching-learning approach towards social and environmental responsibility. These findings provide a starting point for the development of a framework to guide Life Orientation teachers to employ embodied learning practices and, thus, meet the outcomes of the subject as envisaged in policy statements.
Accessing resources that promote quality education for young children: Experience of early childhood development centres' principals
Authors: Aina Adebunmi , Bipath Keshni
Published: June 2022

Research has indicated that educational resources used at early childhood development (ECD) centres advance and enrich the developmental domains, health and wellbeing of young children. However, most ECD centres in South Africa seem to lack many educational resources that enhance quality early childhood care and education (ECCE). This study aimed to explore the experience of the ECD principals in accessing learning resources for their centre. A qualitative research approach that employed a multiple case study research design was utilised. Data were gathered through individual semi-structured interviews with four principals and four practitioners from the four selected ECD centres. The collected data were analysed thematically. This study was guided by Britto, Yoshikawa and Boller’s (2011) framework as a theoretical base. The findings revealed that ECD centres only access resources from the users’ fees charged and a stipend from the government, which seems insufficient to promote quality ECCE. This study recommends that ECD principals become proactive regarding effective management and leadership skills by engaging with internal and external environment opportunities to access learning resources effectively. This study further recommends that ECD principals be exposed to various seminars, workshops, symposiums and training where they can network with influencers and develop their leadership and relational abilities that will assist them in being creative when accessing learning resources.

Authors: Aymerich Picado Karla , Watson Guido William , Brenes-Madriz Jaime , Rivera Méndez William
Published: June 2022

Esta investigación se enfocó en la búsqueda de una alternativa biológica para el control de enfermedades postcosechas en cebolla, para ello se aislaron 18 microorganismos de la superficie de la cebolla en fincas ubicadas en la zona Norte de Cartago, Costa Rica y se evaluó su capacidad de antibiosis contra los patógenos postcosecha Penicillium spp. y Pseudomonas cepacia como organismos modelos usando los métodos de cultivo dual e inhibición del crecimiento diferido. Se obtuvo que solo siete de los microorganismos aislados presentaron algún tipo de antibiosis contra los patógenos. Las bacterias tuvieron porcentajes de inhibición diferidas entre 28 y 44%, mientras que los hongos mostraron valores inferiores al 32%. Los aislamientos bacterianos se identificaron molecularmente como bacterias del género Pseudomonas sp, mientras que el hongo H2, que mostró mayor porcentaje de inhibición fue identificado como Trichoderma sp. Los cuatro aislamientos identificados molecularmente son potenciales antagonistas para biocontrol de enfermedades postcosecha en cebolla. Además, al haber sido aislados de la superficie de cebolla tiene mayores ventajas en campo que otros antagonistas que no hayan sido aislados del microbioma natural del cultivo.

Musa textilis también conocido como abacá, es un producto no maderable proveniente del bosque, que produce una fibra natural que se extrae del pseudotallo de la planta. Es un cultivo de exportación y su producción está en manos de pequeños productores. El manejo de este cultivo a nivel de finca es compatible con las políticas y estrategias de biodiversidad, descarbonización y bioeconomía impulsadas por las autoridades de gobierno del país. Particularmente en este trabajo se presentan alternativas de diversificación del cultivo para apoyar la reducción de la deforestación, el manejo y conservación de los bosques, la reforestación y el fomento a los sistemas agroforestales (SAF). Asimismo, incide en la conservación de la biodiversidad, el agua, en los valores de belleza escénica en el paisaje rural y en la dinamización de la economía. La problemática que se atiende es la falta de conocimiento científico tecnológico sobre los aspectos relacionados con el cultivo de abacá, que incluyen a los sistemas agroforestales con especies maderables de alto valor comercial, así como la caracterización de la fibra que permita proponer nuevos usos y darle mayor valor agregado al producto de exportación; así como abrir nuevos emprendimientos a nivel nacional.

El tiempo poético en el Cantar de mio Cid
Authors:   Vanderbilt University, United States of America, López González Luis F.
Published: June 2022

Time and space are of foremost importance in the dramatic economy of medieval epic poems because they serve the important function of situating the reader spatially and chronologically. In the Cantar de Mio Cid, the poet places particular emphasis on the theme of time, enumerating the years, months, weeks, and days for his reader to present his narrative as a verisimilar, if not historic, chronicle. This study seeks to interrogate the time that elapses from the beginning of the poem to the end, arguing that the poet’s penchant for relative chronological precision betrays an effort to convey his story as historical fact. His ability to weave fiction and reality has greatly contributed to the Cantar’s timelessness, one that renders it relevant even in our modern society. The representation of time helps create the illusion of realism, helping to humanize Rodrigo Díaz and heightening the dramatic impact of the poem.

Conversations on green human resource management (GHRM) are relatively new in the canon of human resource discourse. Existing studies have been focused on industrial and service industries of the private sector leaving a research gap in the public sector establishment, especially at the municipality level of governance. This study aims to address this gap by interrogating the perception and understanding of green behaviour and the evaluation of green behaviour performance. A total of 12 unit managers and employees of the human resource management department of the eThekwini municipality were purposively recruited based on existing knowledge of the green behaviour concept. The semi-structured interview approach was used in eliciting qualitative data. The NVivo (v.12) qualitative software was employed for the identification of themes and the content qualitative analytical tool was employed to make sense of the various themes. The findings show a range of perceptions and understanding of green behavior including change in management behaviour towards environmental sustainability goals, moving towards a paperless environment, re-engineering and automation of work process and safeguarding the environment through pro-environmental behaviours. The evaluation of employees’ green behaviour performance can be achieved through regular introspection and monitoring of the operations of green environmental activities, the integration of green behaviour targets with key performance indicators (KPI) and the benefits of green behaviour to the organisation. The study echoes the need for robust managerial support and massive organizational awareness of the importance of green behaviours for a sustainable work environment.

Authors: Mhlanga David , Hassan Adewale
Published: June 2022

The objective of the study was to assess the factors that motivate or demotivate households to choose among the three healthcare facilities, public healthcare, private health care and traditional healthcare facilities in South Africa as revealed by Statistics South Africa . The utilisation of healthcare facilities in South Africa is such that more households prefer public healthcare facilities more than other healthcare facilities. The multinomial logit model was used, with traditional/self-medication category as the reference or baseline category. The results indicated that gender, income and access to grants were significant in influencing the probability of a household choosing a public healthcare facility, while age, income, grants, salaries/wages/commission and pensions were significant in influencing the choice of private healthcare institutions. Therefore the study recommends that due to a large portion of households that are using public health facilities compared to private and traditional facilities, the government must invest more in public healthcare facilities in South Africa.

Published: June 2022

This paper aims to develop a critical approach to the conceptualization of start-ups in emerging markets from a Kenyan perspective. This study used a theoretical route to conceptualize start-ups in emerging markets like Kenya. From the findings, it is important to note that the conceptualization of start-up is based on western concepts and might be flawed and poorly applicable to businesses in Kenya. Hence in the Kenyan context, a start-up should be viewed as an innovative business entity, which is scalable and has survived up to 3-5 years. To support the growth of the start-up ecosystem in Kenya, policymakers should promote start-ups through the formation of relevant legislation and provide incentives that stimulate their survival and growth. The study has brought out some interesting findings which can generate more debate. The study used an exploratory research design which is not conclusive in nature therefore future research should consider using a research design that is conclusive in nature and robust.

Retracted Paper
This paper aims to evaluate students’ feedback on the impediments to developing critical thinking in the classroom. Interpretative phenomenological analysis techniques were used to obtain data from postgraduate and undergraduate students of an Internal Auditing department in a South African university. The students identified several barriers to developing critical thinking in the classroom some of which are (1) the lecturers who are most times not knowledgeable in the field of critical thinking, (2) the students themselves who are simply not interested, (3) finally the educational system, according to the students who all argued that critical thinking is not ingrained in the country's educational institutions. According to the students, their lack of knowledge of critical thinking including the lecturers’ seeming insufficient knowledge of critical thinking calls for urgent intervention in the form of re-curriculation and training of lecturers. The findings of this research could have important implications for the auditing profession, as lecturers are often challenged to identify innovative ways to assist students in improving their critical thinking skills.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the mission and Performance of Christian Faith-Based Hotels (CFBHs) in Kenya. Mission defines a significant long-term direction for the organization.  There is little research that has been done on the relationship between the Mission and Performance of CFBHs in developing countries like Kenya. The objective of the study was to assess the relationship between the mission and Performance of Christian Faith-Based Hotels in Kenya. The study was guided by Denison’s organizational model and used the mixed methods approach guided by a cross-sectional survey research design. The population of this study was 1950 staff members, (72 managers and 1878 subordinate staff) from 24 Christian Faith-Based Hotels in Kenya. Stratified sampling was used where 322 subordinate staff were selected proportionate to the strata size while all the 72 managers were included in the study yielded a total of 394 respondents. Simple random sampling was used to select respondents in each stratum. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings revealed that the dimensions of the mission had a significant influence on the performance of CFBHs in Kenya with a coefficient estimate of 0.325 and a critical ratio of 5.412 which is greater than the 1.96 Z score at a 5% level of significance. This study concluded that there is the relationship between mission and the performance of Christian Faith-Based Hotels in Kenya and recommends that more studies on Christian Faith-based Hotels be done.

Published: June 2022

Misconduct, in any form, whether corruption, theft, mismanagement of funds, maladministration, non-compliance of rules, etc. may create unethical environment in an organisation. This situation, if not get corrected timely, may have a negative impact on organisational performance as employees may be more inclined to focus on personal gains than working towards realising orgaisational vision. Authors of this article have utilised various official reports to substantiate this statement, and hence avoid a biased approach. The study focuses on the Local Government Sector Education Training Authority (LGSETA), to assess whether there is misconduct that limits the organization’s ability to establish an ethical culture. The study is based on qualitative desktop analysis utilising literature and document reviews to gather information. The findings explore varied ethical challenges and thus discuss measures to combat misconduct in LGSETA. The study recommends the adoption of the Governance Operating Model, suggested by Deloitte (2013) that can assist LGSETA to minimise misconduct by implementing measures to institute and promote an ethical culture.

The motorcycle taxi business is increasingly becoming one of the key livelihood strategies in the urban settings of Sub-Saharan Africa. However, crime against operators is threatening the subsector and jeopardizes the livelihood of motorcycle riders. This study examines urban crime and its implications on the livelihoods of motorcycle taxi riders in Dar es Salaam Tanzania in a bid to recommend strategies for alleviating the looming crime. Based on the qualitative design, data were collected using in-depth interviews, focus group discussion and indirect observations with a sample of 100 motorcycle taxi-riders. Thematic data analysis was employed based on the five themes [aka assets] pre-determined from the sustainable livelihood framework namely natural, physical, human, social and financial assets. Findings show that crime has negatively impacted the motorcycle taxi riders’ livelihoods through erosion of the livelihood assets. Accordingly, in order to alleviate the crime, relevant authorities should devise a well-defined mechanism of sharing crime information, use of technology such as the GPRS system and security cameras around the city, ensure the availability of the police and prompt response to crime incidence through night security patrols and sharing reliable contacts, provision of security and crime education and awareness to the riders. Others are ensuring an effective, communication system between and among the motorcycle riders e.g. through phones, WhatsApp groups, and other social media, and use of ID cards by the riders for easy identification and traceability whenever they fall victims of crime.
