Il sindacato, l’azione collettiva e il nodo della rappresentanza
Authors: Zoppoli Lorenzo
Published: November 2022

With a trip down memory lane, the author takes us by the hand through Professor Mariucci’s thinking on the issues of collective action and union representation. In particular, in a critical manner, the professor’s increasingly pessimistic thinking, as the years go by, is addressed on the challenge that widespread liberalist economic-political thinking posed and still poses to the representativeness and effectiveness of the protection that unions can still give workers in such an evolved system, where their institutional role is replaced by the legislature, with measures such as the minimum wage. A spreading pessimism, the result perhaps of an unfounded confidence that collective action and union representation could act as a curb on any drift that might tangle with individual rights. The analysis then touches on a transnational aspect, where the multiple voices analyzed all point toward a revitalization of the union’s role, even if the ways in which this necessary reform would be achieved do not appear to be in agreement. It is pointed out that the issue of the union’s crisis and representation is a cyclical, inexhaustible, and omnipresent one, but one that should not be overstated: in fact, the union does what the union must, raising to the occasion when it needs to act for protection and remaining muted when its action is not needed. Today, labor relations appear casual and contingent. Fragmented essentially. Politically irrelevant. What differs from Mariucci’s vision are the eyes with which one looks to the future: if one looks to the future with hope, nothing seems lost.
Il diritto del lavoro: una finestra sul grande mondo
Le sfide globali
Authors: Carinci Maria Teresa
Published: November 2022

In this contribution, the Author retraces Prof. Luigi Mariucci’s thought and with him builds a dialogue, starting from the most far-sighted aspects of his research. The affirmation of the neoliberal model as the only response to globalisation has in fact placed labour law before some challenges (the environmental issue, social inclusion, combating work poverty, the impact of new technologies on working time, the law applicable to labour relations with elements of transnationality), exacerbated by current legislation, but on which depend the progress and well-being of the whole society.

Biztonságiasítás mint szavazatszerző stratégia : A magyar kormány 2018-as kampányban folytatott migrációval és Európai Unióval kapcsolatos politikai kommunikációja
Authors: Kiss Renáta Lilla
Published: November 2022

A tanulmányban a biztonsági diskurzuselemzés módszertanát használva arra a kérdésre keresem a választ, hogy a magyar kormányzati oldal hogyan biztonságiasította a migráció kérdését a 2018-as magyarországi országgyűlési választáson. A szakirodalom szerint a magyar kormány sikeresen biztonságiasított, mivel a magyar polgárok legitimálták a migráció biztonsági kérdését. A tanulmány elemzését a koppenhágai iskola által meghatározott biztonságiasítás módszertana szerint végzem, amelyben meghatározom a biztonságiasító szereplőt és az általa egzisztenciális fenyegetésnek vélt tényezőt, illetve vizsgálom, hogy a biztonságiasítást végző aktor a fenyegetettség üzenetével milyen eszközön keresztül és milyen megnyilvánulásokat alkalmazva mobilizálja a célközönséget. Megállapításom szerint a magyar kormány a migráció biztonsági kérdését kimerítően alkalmazta és ennek megfogalmazását populista elemekkel és euroszkeptikus retorikával kommunikálta a választópolgárok felé.

This study aims to determine the anthropocentric concept in the perspective of the Quran and the efforts/tips to build anthropocentric Muslims in the midst of a pandemic. The research question in this article is how is the anthropocentric concept in the Qur'an? And how to build an anthropocentric people in the midst of a pandemic? This article is library research. The research method used is a research method that uses qualitative data. The research materials come from books, scientific articles, research reports, internet websites, and so on related to the research theme, namely anthropocentric people and pandemics. Data collection techniques are by reading and understanding library materials that have been collected. Data analysis techniques used in data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that anthropocentric Islam is pro to humanity (humanist) without abandoning divine values ​​(theology). The idea of ​​building a pro-humanitarian community during the pandemic is an elaboration of the partnership between the government and local religious leaders, the collaboration of the Rukun Tetangga (RT) with residents, empowering crowdfunding applications, and fortifying themselves with healthy readings during social restrictions.
Spatial analysis of globally detected volcanic lightning from the June 2019 eruption of Raikoke volcano, Kuril Islands
Authors: Smith Cassandra M. , Van Eaton Alexa R. , Schneider David J. , Mastin Larry , Matoza Robin S. , McKee Kathleen , Maher Sean
Published: November 2022

The 21–22 June 2019 eruption of Raikoke volcano, Russia, provided an opportunity to explore how spatial trends in volcanic lightning locations provide insights into pulsatory eruption dynamics. Using satellite-derived plume heights, we examine the development of lightning detected by Vaisala’s Global Lightning Dataset (GLD360) from eleven, closely spaced eruptive pulses. Results from one-dimensional plume modeling show that the eruptive pulses with maximum heights 9–16.5 km above sea level were capable of producing ice in the upper troposphere, which contributed variably to electrification and volcanic lightning. A key finding is that lightning locations not only followed the main dispersal direction of these ash plumes, but also tracked a lower-level cloud derived from pyroclastic density currents. We show a positive relationship between umbrella cloud expansion and the area over which lightning occurs (the ‘lightning footprint’). These observations suggest useful metrics to characterize ongoing eruptive activity in near real-time.
Rasch analysis and validity of the construct understanding of the nature of models in Spanish-speaking students
Authors: Oliva Jose M. , Blanco Ángel
Published: November 2022

A questionnaire was recently developed for the use with the Spanish-speaking, and evidence have been provided about the construct internal validity by means of structural equation modelling. In this paper, two research questions were considered: (i) What new evidence does application of the Rasch model provide regarding the validity of this construct? (ii) What cutoffs should be applied to the constructed scales in order to differentiate between acceptable and insufficient levels of the construct being measured? Participants were 1,272 Spanish at both high-school and college level. The instrument is a pencil and paper questionnaire written in Spanish, comprising 20 items (5-point Likert-type scale) distributed evenly across four scales: beyond exact replicas, purpose of models, multiple models, and changing models. Students’ responses were coded on an ordinal scale from zero to four. We then conducted a Rasch analysis using both a multidimensional approach and a consecutive unidimensional approach for each dimension. Data provided new evidence regarding the internal validity of the four scales of the questionnaire. The Rasch analysis also allowed us to establish cutoffs for the constructed scales. The evidence provided by this, and the previous study suggest that the questionnaire may be useful as a diagnostic tool when applied to groups or populations of students. In addition, the identified cutoffs could, hypothetically, serve to differentiate between students with an adequate versus an insufficient understanding of the nature of models.

İnsanı insan yapan en temel niteliklerden biri teknolojiyi kullanabilme becerisi ise diğer de iletişim kurma ve dolayısıyla bilgiyi geleceğe taşıyabilmedir. Teknolojik gelişmeler yazılımsal ve donanımsal olarak hızla devam etmektedir. Kurum ve kuruluşların, Web 3.0 ile birlikte bireyin iletişim içine girme, bilgiyi arşivleme-paylaşabilme ve toplumsallaşma biçimleri daha önceki dönemlerden çok daha dramatik biçimde dönüşmektedir.

Bu makale, teknolojinin gelişimine bağlı olarak yeni gazetecilik türleri varsayımından hareket etmektedir. Medya her zaman teknolojinin en sadık takipçileri olagelmiştir. Matbaanın icadı ile başlayan medya kuruluşlarının teknolojiyi yakın takibi, gazete, televizyon, radyo ve yeni medya uzantılarında devam ederken kaçınılmaz olarak, veri gazeteciliği, robot gazetecilik, drone gazeteciliği, artırılmış gerçeklik gazeteciliği, blokzincir gazeteciliği vb. yeni gazetecilik türlerini ve pratiklerini ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Yeni türlerden biri de sürükleyici gazeteciliktir. Teknolojik gelişmeler, sanal gerçeklik (VR) ve artırılmış gerçeklik (AR) teknolojilerini kullanan bu gazetecilik türünün kalıcı olmayacağı, dolayısıyla kullanıcıları, gazetecileri ve medya kuruluşlarını yeni bir mecraya hazırladığını ortaya çıkarmaktır.

Türkiye’de sürükleyici gazetecilik ile ilgili yapılmış çalışmalar sınırlı sayıdadır. Bu makale, sürükleyici gazeteciliği tanımlama girişimidir. Betimsel analiz yöntemiyle, sürükleyici gazeteciliğin ne olduğu, niye ortaya çıktığı ve nasıl uygulandığı anlaşılmaya çalışılmaktadır; dolayısıyla yeni bir mecra olan Metaverse’a uyumlaşma sağlayabilecek bir gazetecilik türü olup olmadığı sorgulanabilecektir. Böylece bu çalışmanın gelecek araştırmalar için işlevsel olacağı umut edilmektedir.
Jual beli yang dilarang dalam perspektif QS. Al-Maidah ayat 90

Published: November 2022

buying and selling is a very important activity in which the economy of a region can accelerate rapidly. Islam also encourages us to seek sustenance, one of which is by buying and selling. But in Islam there are several regulations in terms of buying and selling, moreover we live in today where slander occurs everywhere, many people do everything they can to achieve their goals. One of them is by doing things that are forbidden by God. Namely selling things that are prohibited. There are so many things that are prohibited by Allah SWT that are done by people and even we Muslims, such as selling khamr or liquor. In Indonesia, a country where the majority of Muslims actually want to legalize liquor. And now in Indonesia there are lots of people who sell liquor. So I made this Tulsan with the aim of making us all aware of the importance of buying and selling as well as gaining insight into how to buy and sell in Islam and prohibit what is contained in buying and selling in accordance with the word of Allah in Surah Al-Maidah verse 90
A Study on the Assessment of Bridge Pier Shape to Minimize Local Scour

Published: November 2022

Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) intends to construct a bridge over the river Shitalakhya on Kapasia (Lalon Bazar) to Bashgram GC via Panli GC via Horinaraynpur GC via Kushalibaha Hat road in the Kapasia Upazila of Gazipur District. The horizontal lay out of the bridge in UTM projection system at Left Bank (Dhandia Bottola Bazar) is 24°04'26.83"N & 90°37'52.64"E and at Right Bank (Raniganj Bazar) is 24°04'32.26"N & 90°38'03.54"E. Estimated Standard High Water Level is 7.520 mPWD, minimum vertical navigational clearance as per BIWTA is 7.620m and calculated deck height is 2.950m. Thus clear height of the bridge is 15.140 mPWD and crest of the deck level of the bridge at mid point is 18.090 mPWD. The pier scour depth has been calculated as per Manual on hydrologic and hydraulic design of bridges prepared jointly by Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) and Institute of Water Modeling (IWM) in 2008. Seven (7) methods as Breusers [1965], Laursen [1963], Neill [1987], Jain and Fischer [1980], Chitale [1988], Melville [1997] and Richardson & Davis [1995] have been applied for pier scour depth calculation among which Jain and Fischer [1980] method shows the highest scour depth. The present study shows the scour depth for different methods with different effective pier width for non-uniform pier instead of uniform pier.

Technical note: A procedure to clean, decompose and aggregate time series
Authors: Ritter François
Published: November 2022

Errors, gaps and outliers complicate and sometimes invalidate the analysis of time series. While most fields have developed their own strategy to clean the raw data, no generic procedure has been promoted to standardize the pre-processing. This lack of harmonization makes the inter-comparison of studies difficult, and leads to screening methods that can be arbitrary or case-specific. This study provides a generic pre-processing procedure implemented in R (ctbi, for cyclic/trend decomposition using bin interpolation) dedicated to univariate time series. Ctbi is based on data binning and decomposes the time series into a long-term trend and a cyclic component (quantified by a new metric, the Stacked Cycles Index) to finally aggregate the data. Outliers are flagged with an enhanced boxplot rule called Logbox that corrects biases due to the sample size and that is adapted to non-Gaussian residuals. Three different Earth Science datasets (contaminated with gaps and outliers) are successfully cleaned and aggregated with ctbi. This illustrates the robustness of this procedure that can be valuable to any discipline.
Partner Choice in Action
Authors: McEllin Luke , Fiedler Susann , Sebanz Natalie
Published: November 2022

Prudently choosing who to interact with and who to avoid is an important ability to ensure that we benefit from a cooperative interaction. While the role of others' preferences, attributes, and values in partner choice have been established (Rossetti, Hilbe & Hauser, 2022), much less is known about whether the manner in which a potential partner plans and implements a decision provides helpful cues for partner choice. We used a partner choice paradigm in which participants chose who to partner with in economic games (either prisoners’ dilemma or stag-hunt). Before making their choice between two partners, participants were presented with information about the potential partners’ decision-related actions in another round of that same game. They received either information about the potential partners’ planning during decision making (Experiment 1, N = 144) or action execution during decision implementation (Experiment 2, N = 144). Across both games, participants preferred to interact with those whose action planning or action execution indicated they were making and implementing prosocial decisions (i.e., cooperate or stag) with certainty. This demonstrates that action cues present in either the planning or implementation of economic decisions influence partner choice, by revealing the strength of the social preferences of potential partners. We discuss implications of this finding for human decision-making and perception-action coupling in action understanding.
The transnational migration between Venezuela and Colombia a long and unknow history.
Authors: De Corso Giuseppe
Published: November 2022

This essay examines the historically intense flow and reflow of transnational migrants between Venezuela and Colombia from a quantitative point of view and employs concepts suggested by Thomas Nail in his work the Figure of the Migrant. We focus on the regimes of social motion in both countries, the political figures of migrants, and the strategies of expulsion to analyze the social condition of the migrants and their demographic impact. In pursuing the latter goal, we discuss censuses and vital events. We finally discuss, briefly, the current migratory flood shaped by decades of Colombian immigration to Venezuela.
Origins of Attainment: Do Brother Correlations in Occupational Status and Income Overlap?
Authors: Karlson Kristian Bernt , Birkelund Jesper Fels
Published: November 2022

We study the overlap in the overall impact of family background on two widely studied labor market outcomes by considering whether brother similarities in occupational status are rooted in the same underlying family characteristics that affect brother similarities in income. We extend previous research using sibling correlations as an omnibus measure of total family background impact on a given outcome by directly quantifying how brother correlations in occupational status and income overlap. We apply a novel variance components model to data from Denmark and the United States, two countries known to follow a contradictory pattern: While income mobility is much lower in the United States, occupational mobility is virtually similar. Apart from confirming this pattern, we find a substantial overlap, around 70 percent, in brother similarities in income and occupational status in both countries. Conventional family background variables account for less than one-fifth of this overlap in each country, suggesting that shared family origins of attainment in these two domains are constituted by largely unknown family characteristics. We speculate what these characteristics might be.
A Comparison of outcome between Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) and Lichtenstein operation for primary inguinal hernia repair – An institutional study
Authors: Rayamajhi Bikash Bahadur , Basukala Sunil , Thapa Narayan , Ayer Dhirendra , Karki Saurav , Basukala Bikram
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Inguinal hernia repairs are one of the most common operations in general surgery. Apart from the classical open repairs, minimally invasive approaches are increasingly preferred to manage groin hernia repair. However, the optimal surgical approach still remains controversial.

Methods: This is a prospective observational study done in Shree Birendra Hospital, a 750- bedded tertiary care military hospital located in Kathmandu from July 2021 to December 2021. A total of 120 patients operated for inguinal hernia by either open Lichtenstein repair or Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) in the department of surgery were included in this study.

Results: The mean age of patients between open Lichtenstein repair and TAPP was 59.3 (22-79) and 63.4 (27-70) years respectively. The majority of patients were male among both the groups constituting of more than 95%. The mean intraoperative duration among the two groups was 44.12±7.23 minutes and 77.43±8.77minutes, respectively (p=0.021). The mean postoperative pain was less in TAPP procedure compared to open procedure (p=0.037). The mean duration of the postoperative hospital stay was 2± 1.12 and 1±0.79 respectively. At the three-month evaluation, there were four cases of recurrence of which one of them underwent open procedure while three underwent TAPP procedure.

Conclusion: Both the open Lichtenstein repair and the TAPP procedures are safe and effective in the repair of primary inguinal hernia. In a view of postoperative pain, seroma formation and length of hospital stay TAPP procedure has been found superior to open procedure in our study.
The Prevalence and Outcome of Bile Spillage during Elective Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Authors: Dhungel Sushil , Mukhiya Rupesh , Koirala Kamal , Thapa Bibechan , Tiwari Mahipendra
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has a low risk for postoperative infective complications. The incidence of iatrogenic gall bladder perforation leading to spillage of bile and stones seems to be higher ranging between 5 and 40%. Studies have also shown an increased incidence of complications like surgical site infection (SSIs) after bile spillage. This study aims to assess the prevalence and outcome in bile spillage during LC.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at KIST Medical College and Teaching Hospital. All the patients who underwent elective LC from February 2018 to March 2020 were studied. A total of 187 patients were enrolled. The required data was entered in the proforma by reviewing the patient’s medical records. The data was entered and analyzed using the SPSS version 26. Descriptive statistics and chi-square test were carried out.
Results: The prevalence of bile spillage was 29.4%. The prevalence of SSIs among the bile spillage and non-bile spillage groups was 10.9% and 8.3% respectively. There was no significant association between SSIs and bile spillages (p value 0.584). There is no significant association post operative use of antibiotics and SSIs among patients with bile spillage (p value = 0.163).
Conclusion: The prevalence of bile spillage during LC was higher when compared to other national and international studies. However, the rate of SSIs among bile spillage was lower. Bile spillage during LC doesn’t cause SSIs post-operatively and use of postoperative antibiotics among bile spillage patients doesn’t prevent SSI during elective LC thus use of antibiotics in such cases should be limited.

The study of white lupine samples of grain-forage direction developed by the All-Russian Research Institute of Lupine were carried out for three years (2019–2021) on the fields of the collection farm of the of the department of plant production, breeding and olericulture of the Belgorod State Agrarian University named after V.Ya. Gorin. There have been studied 4 varieties and 26 lines, the variety ‘Michurinsky’ was the standard in the trial. According to the seed productivity in all years of study, most varieties and lines significantly exceeded the standard. On average for 3 years, the most productive lines were ‘SN 17-14’, ‘SN 54-08’ and ‘SN 12–13’, which increase ranged from 43 to 48 % in comparison with the standard variety. Productivity increase from 34 to 39 % was given by the lines ‘SN 816-09’, ‘SN 1735-10’, ‘SN 35-13’ and ‘SN 77-17’. The increase of the varieties ‘Pilgrim’ and ‘Aliy parus’ and four lines ‘SN 18-13’, ‘SN 15-13’, ‘SN 55-14’, ‘SN 138-16’ varied from 21 to 26 % compared to the standard. The variety ‘Timiryazevsky’ and lines ‘SN 1397-10’, ‘SN 78-16’ and ‘SN 25-11’ exceeded the standard on 13–18 %. At the same time, the lines ‘SN 76-16’ and ‘SN 1022-09’ produced the lowest yields, significantly inferior to the standard. The calculation of the adaptability coefficient has shown that the varieties and lines that provided high and stable seed productivity over the years are also highly adaptive to the arid conditions of the region, since this coefficient has exceeded 100 %. The protein percentge in seeds on average for 3 years ranged from 29.55 to 36.45 % with 32.27 % for the standard. Its percentage exceeded 35.0 % among 7 lines and the variety ‘Pilgrim’. The oil content in seeds of the white lupine varieties and lines on average for 3 years ranged from 10.00 to 11.54 %. Most varieties and lines in the trial according to the content of alkaloids in seeds belong to the group of low alkaloids (up to 0.099 %) and medium alkaloids (up to 0.299 %).

The main purpose of breeding and commercial production is the quantity of grain and its quality. Occupying 74 % in the structure of grain crops, and 80 % in terms of gross yields, wheat grain is the most important source of income for grain producers in the Rostov region. The purpose of the current study was to reveal the effect of forecrops on productivity and SDS-sedimentation of the promising winter bread wheat varieties. In the trial there were studied 12 winter bread wheat varieties developed by the FSBSI “ARC “Donskoy” and sent to the State Variety Testing in recent years. There were estimated productivity and the amount of SDS-sedimentation. On average, over the three years of study (2019–2021), for all the studied forecrops, in terms of productivity there have been identified such winter wheat varieties of the intensive type as ‘Razdolie’ (7.14 t/ha), ‘Razgulay’ (7.67 t/ha) and ‘Vasilich’ (7.51 t/ha), which makes it possible to recommend these genotypes for sowing according to high and medium levels of Agricultural background. Among winter wheat varieties of semi-intensive type there has been identified only one variety ‘Donets’ (7.31 t/ha), which allows us to characterize it as a universal variety and recommend it for sowing in production according to high, medium and low levels of Agricultural background. According to the value of SDS-sedimentation for all the studied forecrops, there have been identified such varieties of intensive type as ‘Razdolie’ (62 ml), ‘Azov Sea’ (61 ml), ‘Razgulay’ (63 ml) and ‘Vasilich’ (63 ml). The varieties of semi-intensive type did not significantly exceed the value of SDS-sedimentation of the standard variety or were at its level, however, the values were high. Such SDS-sedimentation values have indicated that the presented genotypes are able to form high grain quality for all the studied forecrops and regardless of the productivity value.

The current paper has presented the study results of the new hulless oat variety ‘Azil’, which was developed by the method of individual-family selection from the hybrid population ‘Krestyansky local × ZALP’. The purpose of the current study was to identify economically valuable traits, physico-biochemical indicators of the grain of the new hulless oat variety ‘Azil’. According to the length of the vegetation period, ‘Azil’ is classified as a middle maturing variety. In the State Variety Testing, the realized productivity of the variety ‘Azil’ was 5.36 t/ha. During the study, there has been found that with intensive and high-intensity cultivation in compliance with the technological methods of protection against diseases, weeds and pests, the productivity of the variety ‘Azil’ improved in relation to the basic technology from 0.75 to 1.42 t/ha (or on 12 and 23 %, respectively). The estimation of groat properties has revealed a larger protein and oil percentage in grain of the new variety than that of the hulled and hulless standard varieties ‘Yakov’ and ‘Vyatsky’ (2.2 and 0.2 % of protein; 1.3 and 0.5 % of oil) . There has been identified high loose smut resistance of the variety ‘Azil’ (up to 6.4 % damage) on artificial and natural backgrounds. There has been established a fungi composition and mycotoxins’ content in grain of the standard oat varieties ‘Yakov’ and ‘Vyatsky’, as well as 13 hulless breeding lines of the Federal Research Center “Nemchinovka”. The variety ‘Azil’ has demonstrated an increased resistance to the accumulation of T-2 toxin. Using biochemical methods there has been found heterogeneity of the new variety, consisting of two biotypes. When conducting primary seed production, there has been recommended to use the method of individual-family selection with a double estimation of the progeny and maintaining spatial isolation with other hulless oats.

Re-considering internationalisation from the periphery

While there is little agreement about the definitions, theories and practices of internationalisation, they have one thing in common. They tend to originate from Europe and North America and primarily serve the interests of Anglo-American academia (Ivancheva and Syndicus 2019; Marginson 2016; Rhoades et al. 2019). These two articles take a different perspective. They look at internationalisation from two kinds of peripheries and consider the strategies that peripheralised countries and people are using to try and create a more balanced or equal relationship between local or national interests and those of universities in Europe and North America. The first article considers internationalisation from peripheral countries in sub-Saharan Africa, China and Indonesia and explores the strategies of regional cooperation, ‘balanced internationalisation’ and marketisation (respectively) that they are adopting to resist marginalisation and dependency. The second article is written from the perspective of international students who are peripheralised within their host university and country in Europe. It explores the dilemmas students encounter when trying to negotiate language politics and the use of social media in order to participate more fully in the university and society.
Voices of internationalisation of higher education from sub-Saharan Africa, China and Indonesia
Authors: Alemu Sintayehu Kassaye , Qu Mei , Sakhiyya Zulfa

From the perspective of peripheralised countries, internationalisation is imbalanced and hegemonic, as it is predominantly constructed by universities in the Global North. We explore the imbalanced internationalisation from the cases of sub-Saharan Africa through the dominance of Western knowledge systems and brain drain; China through isolation and playing ‘catch up’; and Indonesia through the financial crisis, the bailout conditions of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank and marketisation. By taking the cases of sub-Sahara Africa, China and Indonesia, this article problematises the idea of internationalisation and argues that it further relegates universities from the peripheralised countries to the margin.
CHINA'S FOREIGN ECONOMIC PROJECTS IN THE RAILWAY SECTOR

Published: November 2022

China, long before the Belt and Road Initatve was announced, formed a strategic plan for the constructon of internatonal railways. Afer the Chinese government formally proposed a strategy for Chinese high‑speed rail to enter the overseas high‑speed rail market in 2009, the actvity of Chinese railway constructon contnues to grow. The PRC has accelerated the modernizaton of its internal railways and has created the world's most advanced high‑speed rail system. The unifcaton and standardizaton of the constructon process of high‑speed railways, rolling stock, infrastructure facilites and new technologies within the framework of the «Made in China» program has made it possible to create a unique world‑class product – high‑speed railways of the Chinese standard and enter the internatonal market with it. The Belt and Road Initatve not only provided additonal acceleraton, but also created a theoretcal basis for the «prestge» of partcipaton in the initatve. As part of the Belt and Road Initatve, the internatonalizaton of China's railway standards has yielded positve results. Many BRI rail projects have been completed and operatonal. As a rule, not only Chinese technical standards are used in constructon, but also basic engineering materials, rolling stock, engineering and constructon equipment, Chinese builders and maintenance personnel. But the PRC's energetc actons in promotng the Belt and Road Initatve cannot be called unimpeded. Many projects with Chinese partcipaton remain untl the tme in the form of agreements or for various reasons, fnancial, domestc politcal, technical and reasons of "lack of a common vision" are postponed or suspended. The artcle examines the major rail constructon projects with Chinese partcipaton, completed and under constructon, in Eurasia, Africa and South America.

Maktaba Library of the Year Awards: Looking back, looking forward
Authors: Ouma Cary Francis
Published: November 2022

This book is a product of my experience with the Maktaba Awards in different capacities. When the idea of Maktaba Awards was mooted in the year 2009, I was the Assistant Secretary of KLA. I therefore got the opportunity to sit in the formative meetings where the key framework decisions were made. In the year 2011, our library at Kenya National Archives and Documentation Service (KNA&DS) entered the competition and one thing I am forever proud of is that we won the Best Library Award (BLA) of that year. Having been the Deputy Head of the Library at KNA&DS, the victory gave me a perfect experience of what it is to compete in Maktaba Awards. Later in the year, 2013 I was elected the Vice Chairman of KLA. This position propelled me into joining the Maktaba Awards Management Committee and the Jury of 2014. These two capacities brought me to the core of Maktaba Awards activities. My role in these capacities became so strategic that by the end of activities of Maktaba awards 2014, which also marked the end of the first phase of the programme, I was appointed by the chairman KLA to prepare a proposal for re-engineering of maktaba awards in the next phase. Consistent with the public sector planning cycles in Kenya, five years of Maktaba awards was adopted as one phase. In Kenya, all government strategic plans cover five years. I therefore prepared a proposal which was presented and adopted by the KLA Annual General Meeting of 2014. The proposal looked at the five years of maktaba and made analytical projections into the next phase by of course taking stock of the strengths, weaknesses and opportunities. That proposal formed the synopsis for this book. It comprised in two parts – the experience and the future of the award, thus looking back looking forward. In preparing the book, I was forced to do a broad based comparative reading between maktaba and other awards across the globe. It is out of this that my mind was awakened to the need for a book in the area of awards generally and library awards specifically. . In spite of very many awards projects and programmes in librarianship and other fields, there is very little if any publishing in the area. This is a naked literature gap which if filled will serve a significant utility. In regard to maktaba, a book of this nature will effectively deal with the information gap among stakeholders. Out of ignorance, librarians have continuously complained about some aspects of the awards particularly the judgment criteria. Most importantly, the book has given a critical analysis of all the major aspects of library awards. This will significantly inform the planning and decision making for the next phase of the awards by the concerned organs. The book is a must read for all the librarians who have interest in maktaba Awards. The principles can also be shared with all other professions who have interest in mounting excellence awards.

Across the globe, promoting the wellbeing of vulnerable populations is a key mandate of both governments and academics. Promoting the wellbeing of persons with intellectual disabilities is arguably one of the key responsibilities of social work academics in Ghana. In fulfilling this mandate, we have conducted a number of studies into the care and health needs of Persons Living with Intellectual Disabilities (PwIDs). We have prepared this policy brief as a way of informing policy and practice and making our research relevant to practitioners and policy makers in Ghana. Our aim is to, through this brief, bridge the divide between PwIDs and healthcare professionals.
