Authors: Amadi Christian , Mohammed Muntaka
Published: June 2024

In this research, we looked at the connection between direct marketing and customer loyalty at deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study's main objective was to investigate the effect of telemarketing, social media, and email marketing on customer loyalty among deposit money bank customers in Nigeria. This study used a cross-sectional survey methodology. To gather primary data, 218 customers of various Nigerian money deposit banks were given a questionnaire using a likert-type scale. We used SPSS 23's descriptive statistics for data analysis and interpretation. Simple linear regression was used to evaluate the hypotheses. Thus, the findings demonstrated that marketing campaigns using social media, telemarketing, and email substantially enhanced Nigerian deposit money banks’ patronage. The research concluded that deposit banks might benefit from increasing their advertising and customer service presence on social media platforms in order to attract and retain clients and addresses any concerns they may have. Commercial banks should continue to integrate telemarketing into their operations through dedicated customer care lines and short dial codes to accelerate service delivery to customers in order to improve customers’ patronage; and banks should upscale their adoption of the email marketing strategy by using it to deliver customer service, advertise their products to customers and update customers with vital transaction information on their accounts.
#Hashtags to the Rescue: A Case Study of Nigeria
Authors: Akinlami Folajogun
Published: June 2024

This research article investigates the significance of hashtag activism in driving socio-political change, focusing on Nigeria. Despite Nigeria's reputation as having one of the most accessible press systems in Africa, the country's media has faced consistent targeting and censorship by past and present governments. Journalists have been arrested, exiled, and even murdered, highlighting the need for alternative platforms for public expression. Hashtag activism has emerged as a powerful tool for Nigerian youths to voice their concerns, hold the government accountable, and mobilise for collective action. This research examines the impact and effectiveness of hashtag activism in Nigeria, highlighting its potential to elicit much-needed change from the government. Participants critically reflect on hashtag activism's efficacy in enhancing marginalised voices' visibility, fostering awareness about pertinent issues, and galvanising concerted efforts towards social change. These observations underscore the need for a well-rounded strategy integrating online and offline techniques to facilitate enduring transformation. The use of hashtag activism, as elucidated by participants' viewpoints, functions as both a mechanism and a first step towards substantial social change in Nigeria.

Assessment of knowledge and attitude on stem cell research and therapy among faculty members and students in the medical field at Shaqra University
Authors: Almotiri Alhomidi
Published: June 2024

Objective: This study was carried out to assess the knowledge and attitude on stem cell research and therapy among faculty members and students in the medical field at Shaqra University.
Methods: A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2023 to February 2024 with 217 participants.
Results: A gender-balanced cohort of 50.23% males and 49.77% females, along with 34% faculty members, participated in the survey. The primary source of stem cell information was educational institutions (70.5%), followed by social media (37.7%). The majority of participants (96.7%) have heard about stem cells, yet only 53% exhibited familiarity with distinct stem cell types. Alarmingly, the responses to the use of stem cells in the clinic were blood-related disorders (64.5%), skin care (43.3%), solid cancers (28.5%), etc. Worryingly, 162 (74%) respondents favor the patient's visit to try stem cell therapy for diabetes, rejuvenation, and anti-aging. Although the majority of participants (94%) expressed a keen interest in developing their knowledge about stem cells, approximately 45% were willing to donate stem cells. Furthermore, approximately 36% of participants were aware of the Saudi Stem Cell Donor Registry (SCDR), with a modest response to register 38.2%, while 41.9% were not sure. The participants have shown a positive attitude toward supporting stem cell research and increasing public awareness.
Conclusion: The data shows a low to moderate level of knowledge about stem cells and their clinical application while showing a positive attitude toward supporting stem cell-related initiatives. Thus, it emphasizes the importance of increasing awareness about stem cells and their uses in research and therapy.
Geomagnetic Storms and Recording of Acoustic Signals
Authors: Belyakov Askold
Published: June 2024

Having published three articles in the Journal La Multiapp: “Doppler Effect and Acoustic Trails of Neutrinos”, “Neutrinos above the Earth's surface” and “Algorithm for detecting acoustic traces of neutrino decay”, I already wanted to stop research in this direction, if only because that I do not have enough competencies in astrophysics, and that published data is enough for specialized specialists to evaluate the technical and scientific novelty and understand the capabilities of the new method. But, when on the morning of February 3, 2024 at 07:40:19 I turned on the monitoring system, bipolar acoustic pulses with a visible period of 40 μs (frequency 25 kHz) began to be observed on the screen with an interval of about 0.3 seconds, the shape of which is very similar to acoustic traces, associated with neutrino decay. The apparent frequency of these pulses was underestimated by a factor of two, probably due to the insufficiently high Nyquist frequency (50 kHz). A similar picture was observed during the next registration at 07:40:38, and at 07:40:57, only five pulses were recorded with a repetition interval of 1 second. On the fourth and fifth of February there were practically no impulses. There was a suspicion that the observed process was timed to coincide with a geomagnetic storm; more precisely, it was the observed processes that caused geomagnetic storms.

Authors: Putri Sapta Dwi , Sakapurnama Eka
Published: June 2024

Realizing quality education starts from good governance and management. The e-RKAM application is one of the breakthroughs that can help the Ministry of Religion to plan the needs of madrasas more efficiently. Through this application, madrasas can be assisted in terms of managing administration starting from the planning, budgeting, and reporting processes. With e-RKAM, good governance can be realized by integrating various things, namely in terms of supervision, control, and institutional accountability. The e-RKAM system is also a reflection of one of the digital transformations in madrasas. With the policy implementation approach from Edward III, policy recommendations can be taken by stakeholders, especially the Central Ministry of Religious Affairs, in terms of improving institutional governance that is transparent, effective and efficient and can have a direct impact on the quality of learning. So that in the future the BOS budget allocation is no longer based on the number of students, but on the performance of each madrasah and how well the activity program is designed. UTAUT's approach to see the application of technology, in this case the e-RKAM application, is related to its ease of use and usefulness for madrasas.

Authors: Kimitei Edwin , Kiprono Eric , Sang Jane
Published: June 2024

We investigated the moderating influence of audit probability on the effect of taxpaying attitudes on tax compliance behaviour in restaurants in Kenya. Four linear regression models were compared. Estimations in the models suggest that taxpayers’ attitudes and audit probability have significant effects on the tax compliance of the restaurants, but the influence of external audit probability is more significant. Estimations in model where taxpaying attitudes without the moderating influence of audit probability exerted a significant effect on tax compliance by 22%, while taxpaying attitudes with the moderating influence of audit probability exerted 27%. Taxpaying attitudes with the moderating influence of the external audit probability dimension had a more significant contribution to the changes in tax compliance. The findings demonstrated that if taxpayers’ attitudes improved and audit probability was leveraged by the tax authorities, tax compliance behaviour of restaurants would be improved for restaurant owners in Kenya.

Published: June 2024

Bencana hidrometeorologi, terutama banjir, berkontribusi 95% dari seluruh bencana di Indonesia. Namun proses penanggulangan banjir di Kota Cimahi kurang memperhatikan peran maksimal dari pihak pemerintah, swasta, dan masyarakat untuk ikut andil dalam proses perumusan kebijakan, implementasi, hingga evaluasi kebijakan. Permasalahan seperti sistem drainase yang buruk, menumpuknya sampah, padatnya pemukiman dan industri, hingga minimnya kesadaran masyarakat berkontribusi besar pada peristiwa banjir di Kota Cimahi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis proses koordinasi pemerintahan dalam penanggulangan bencana banjir di Kota Cimahi menggunakan teori dari G.R Terry dalam mengukur koordinasi dengan tujuh indikator, yaitu Komunikasi, Kesadaran Pentingnya Koordinasi, Kompetensi Partisipan, Kesepakatan dan Komitmen, Penetapan Kesepakatan, Insentif Koordinasi, hingga Feedback. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara wawancara, observasi, dan studi literatur. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa koordinasi pemerintahan di Kota Cimahi terkait penanggulangan bencana banjir kurang maksimal, tidak semua stakeholder diikutsertakan dalam acara koordinasi, koordinasi cenderung hanya berlangsung antar dua OPD saja dan adanya perbedaaan antara regulasi dan realisasi di lapangan ditambah dengan alur birokrasi yang rumit dan kurang memaksimalkan peran FPRB sehingga memperlambat proses penanggulangan bencana banjir, dalam prosesnya cenderung menitikberatkan kepada salah satu OPD saja sehingga kurangnya upaya koordinasi tersebut menjadikan proses penanggulangan bencana banjir kurang maksimal dan memerlukan evaluasi untuk keberlangsungan program kedepannya.

Visual impairment is internationally related to severe public health, social, and economic challenges. Uncorrected refractive error is one of the main targets of the global movement to end preventable visual disability, as it is a treatable source of vision impairment. With precise information about the prevalence and underlying causes of vision impairment in the general population, health organizations may find it simpler to develop infrastructure and human resource strategies, as well as to distribute resources properly. The design of screening programs to identify individuals who are more vulnerable to eye issues may also be facilitated by having this knowledge. Wearing spectacles, also called glasses, is the practice of wearing frames with lenses in front of the eyes, usually with the intention of improving vision. There are additional reasons to wear glasses, including fashion, eye protection, and concealing visual defects. Even with the rising popularity of contact lenses and refractive surgery, wearing glasses is still the most prevalent technique to correct refractive difficulties. Despite its many built-in advantages, namely the capacity to control usage, spectacles do have some significant disadvantages. Many people who require glasses are unable to afford them, and if they are prescribed incorrectly, they may cause irritation to the eyes. Refractive errors are a major cause of visual impairment worldwide. People who lack professional skills in eye care or dispensing have abused the system due to irregularities in the distribution of spectacles.

Published: June 2024

Due to the oxidation of CO2, SO2, and NOX, a depletion of fossil fuels has been occurring which develops an environmental impact as time goes by. Bioethanol has grown in popularity not just as a chemical feedstock, an industrial solvent, or a beverage, but also as a vehicle fuel option in recent years. Thus, this study will introduce the feasibility of pineapples (Ananas Comosus) as an ethanol substrate in comparison with other documented feedstocks in the Philippines. The researchers will conduct an experiment that will introduce the feasibility of pineapples with the help of data gathered from past studies. The experiment will include major processes which are extraction, dilution, sugar adjustment, pH adjustment, chemical pasteurization, aerobic and anaerobic fermentation, siphoning, distillation, and observation days to come up with the desired data and be able to compare it with the other bioethanol produced. In addition to that, such guidance was sought by the Department of Science and Technology. Thus, the effectiveness and success of the experiment will help eliminate the contribution of pollution with the introduction of pineapple’s bioethanol components and further avoid using fossil fuel. Within the comparative analysis made, future researchers can rely on the study made for a greener community we all aspire to have.

This paper takes a close look at how e- commerce and supply chain management (SCM) are connected in today's business world. E-commerce, or online shopping, has grown rapidly in recent years and has changed how supply chains work. This means businesses need to rethink how they manage their supply chains. We've looked at a lot of recent research to understand what's happening at the intersection of e- commerce and SCM. One big change we've seen is that supply chains are becoming more flexible and adaptable, thanks to new digital technologies and the way people shop online. E-commerce has really shaken things up in traditional supply chain practices like buying goods, keeping track of inventory, and getting products to customers. We've also explored how technologies like data analytics, artificial intelligence, and blockchain are helping businesses improve their supply chains, making them more efficient and transparent, especially in the world of e-commerce.

Young (<500 Myr) planets are critical to studying how planets form and evolve. Among these young planetary systems, multiplanet configurations are particularly useful, as they provide a means to control for variables within a system. Here, we report the discovery and characterization of a young planetary system, TOI-1224. We show that the planet host resides within a young population we denote as MELANGE-5. By employing a range of age-dating methods—isochrone fitting, lithium abundance analysis, gyrochronology, and Gaia excess variability—we estimate the age of MELANGE-5 to be 210 ± 27 Myr. MELANGE-5 is situated in close proximity to previously identified younger (80–110 Myr) associations, Crius 221 and Theia 424/Volans-Carina, motivating further work to map out the group boundaries. In addition to a planet candidate detected by the TESS pipeline and alerted as a TESS object of interest, TOI-1224 b, we identify a second planet, TOI-1224 c, using custom search tools optimized for young stars (Notch and LOCoR). We find that the planets are 2.10 ± 0.09 R
⊕ and 2.88 ± 0.10 R
⊕ and orbit their host star every 4.18 and 17.95 days, respectively. With their bright (K = 9.1 mag), small (R
* = 0.44 R
⊙), and cool (T
eff = 3326 K) host star, these planets represent excellent candidates for atmospheric characterization with JWST.
The worst-case scenario: robust portfolio optimization with discrete distributions and transaction costs
Authors: Mills Ebenezer Fiifi Emire Atta
Published: June 2024

This research introduces min-max portfolio optimization models that incorporating transaction costs and focus on robust Entropic value-at-risk. This study offers a unified approach to handl the distribution of random parameters that affect the reward and risk aspects. Utilizing the duality theorem, the study transforms the optimization models into manageable forms, thereby accommodating the underlying random variables' discrete box and ellipsoidal distributions. The impact of transaction costs on optimal portfolio selection is examined through numerical examples under a robust return-risk framework. The results underscore the importance of the proposed model in safeguarding capital and reducing exposure to extreme risks, thus outperforming other strategies documented in the literature. This demonstrates the model's effectiveness in balancing maximizing returns and minimizing potential losses, making it a valuable tool for investors that seek to navigate uncertain financial markets.
Repérer et caractériser les dynamiques urbaines : l’appui nouveau des humanités numériques
Authors: Eshkol-Taravella Iris , Mekki Jade , Ratouis Olivier , Guez Alain , Simon Rémi
Published: June 2024

Cet article présente le travail de constitution et de traitement d’un corpus issu du domaine de l’urbanisme, à savoir la méthodologie adoptée, les choix réalisés, les problèmes rencontrés et les résultats obtenus durant ces deux étapes. Il s’agit de porter un regard sur le travail effectué au sein du projet Vital (Ville et traitement automatique des langues), qui s’inscrit dans le domaine des humanités numériques et associe de manière originale et innovante chercheurs en traitement automatique des langues (TAL), architectes et urbanistes. L’objectif de cette recherche pluridisciplinaire est d’analyser l’appréhension de l’espace comme une dynamique, en s’appuyant sur les avancées récentes dans le domaine du TAL.
Enseigner les humanités numériques en Tunisie : conditions, pratiques et choix
Authors: Cavallo Delphine , Chebbi Aïda
Published: June 2024

L’enseignement des humanités numériques à l’Université tunisienne, présent mais peu structuré, n’a pas encore fait l’objet de recherches ni d’analyses didactiques. Cet article propose, sous forme de retours de différentes expériences des autrices, d’explorer la manière dont se déploient ces enseignements dans un espace académique national, à la fois inséré dans des échanges internationaux et présentant des caractéristiques propres. Il s’agit, à la lumière de la littérature existante sur le sujet, de souligner les adaptations des pratiques pédagogiques caractéristiques des humanités numériques à la situation tunisienne. Notre focus porte sur les conditions de faisabilité d’un tel enseignement en Tunisie, à tout le moins en direction des étudiantes et étudiants tunisiens, en montrant comment nos expériences ont nourri notre réflexion pour la conception d’un cours d’introduction aux humanités numériques en ligne dans le cadre du projet Erasmus + Raqmyat. Nous en concluons que l’analyse des pratiques pédagogiques en situation réelle doit faire partie de l’éthique de l’enseignement des humanités numériques.

Stigting van die Vaalhartsbesproeiingskema as heenkome vir hawelose armblankes
Authors: Lombard R.T.J.
Published: June 2024

Owing to the economic crisis and drought of the early 1930s, the government decided to begin with the construction of a scheme which would provide a means of livelihood for thousands of poor whites. In addition to a large storage dam (Vaal Dam) which was to ensure a sufficient supply of water to the scheme, a diversion weir (Vaalharts Dam) was also constructed on the Vaal River. By means of its network of concrete canals running across the entire Hans Valley up to Taung, this system could irrigate 1 250 plots of approximately 25 hectares each. In April 1938 the first 27 farmers were settled on the scheme, and by the end of 1940 this number had risen to 360. After the Second World War, returning servicemen were also resettled there. Although the settlers initially struggled to make a living, they eventually succeeded in becoming independent farmers, able to purchase their own small plots.

Rol van die Naturelle-adviesraad op plaaslike bestuursvlak in Bloemfontein, 1923-1948
Authors: Le Roux C.J.P.
Published: June 2024

The Natives (Urban Areas) Act of 1923 required the establishment of a native advisory board in every black township under the control of an urban local authority. In Bloemfontein such an advisory board was also founded by the municipality. It consisted of twelve elected and three nominated members and was generally regarded as a step forward for blacks in Bloemfontein. The board advised the city council on matters such as the general welfare in the townships and on regulations, while at the same time also assisting in solving disputes. However, since it had at its disposal advisory powers only, there was no legal obligation on the part of the city council to carry out the board's recommendations. Although the advisory board was successful in handling issues such as higher wages (1929) and trading rights (1943), practical problems like black representation on local governmental bodies and the supply of essential services (e.g. electricity, water and sanitation) to the black townships, were never addressed. Attempts to bring about any meaningful improvement in the position of blacks in the townships thus failed.
