The Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program aims to create convenient, accessible, and eco-friendly electric jeepneys, commonly called “Jeepney Modernization,” for commuters in urban areas. However, the price of modernized jeepneys is costly, leaving a majority of commuters, especially students, with the burden of making enough profit to fund the program, resulting in fare increases continually. Hence, this research study aims to assess the following categories: (1) students’ perceptions of the significance of jeepneys for student commutes, (2) students’ perception of Jeepney Modernization policies and possible fare increase, and (3) students’ perceptions on their affordability of the fare increase. The researchers utilized a quantitative approach using modified survey questions adapted from existing studies. This survey was distributed to (40) college students. Specifically, (10) participants from each of the following four universities: Pamantasan Ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) and Unibersidad de Manila (UDM), public schools; Far Eastern University (FEU) and University of Santo Tomas (UST), private schools. Results have shown no significant differences in students’ perspectives from public and private universities within U-Belt. This indicates that regardless of variation in academic institutions, students have similar perspectives on the significance of Jeepney usage, Jeepney modernization program policies, Fares increase, and Fares affordability. Ultimately, this research provided valuable insights regarding students’ challenges and experiences due to the recent transportation changes and could potentially aid policymakers in mitigating negative impacts.

Insurance is an agreement that has been mutually agreed upon between the insurer (insurance company) and the insured (someone who buys insurance services), where in the agreement the insured must pay a certain amount of money within a certain period of time, which is called a premium. Life insurance premiums depend on life chances and interest rates that represent financial market dynamics. Insurance is a financial means in household life to face basic risks such as the risk of death or the risk of loss of property. One type of life insurance is dual-purpose life insurance, namely insurance that provides dual benefits in the form of life insurance protection and savings at the end of the policy year if the insured is still alive. Compensation for a risk that may be suffered due to certain events is obtained from the payment of a premium. There are two types of premiums, namely net premiums and gross premiums. The net premium plus certain costs charged to the insured is the gross premium.

Authors: Dryha V. V.
Published: May 2024

Purpose. The article presents the results of research on the seed productivity of rod-shaped millet (PANICUMV VIRGATUM L.) depending on the maturity groups of variety samples. Methods. Laboratory, measuring and weighing, mathematical and statistical. The results. Proto-like millet - switchgrass is one of the promising perennial cereal plants for the production of biofuel, which is able to accumulate significant amounts of biomass due to photosynthesis, this crop belongs to plants with C4 type of photosynthesis. Much research has been done on the elements of biofuel crop cultivation technology, but the issue of seed productivity has not been sufficiently studied. Millet is a rod-like propagated seed, which is characterized by a high state of biological dormancy and, accordingly, low germination. It was found that the yield and germination of seeds depend both on the maturity groups of the varieties and on the sum of the active temperatures. Seed yield of mid-early and mid-late varieties was significantly higher than that of very early, late and very late varieties. The highest seed germination – 47% was obtained in 2018, where the sum of active temperatures was the highest. As the sum of active temperatures decreased, seed germination decreased. Correlation-regression analysis revealed a direct average dependence of the sum of active temperatures and seed germination, the correlation coefficient is 0.48. The greatest impact on seed quality was the factors of "year conditions" during the growing season, which was 37.3-37.6% and "variety" - 33.8-34.0%. Conclusions. It was established that the yield and quality of seeds depended on the maturity group of the varieties - in very early varieties, the yield was significantly lower, and the energy of germination and germination was significantly higher, compared to the varieties of other maturity groups.

Published: May 2024

The country's foreign exchange reserves are an important factor in supporting the economic development process in ASEAN-5 countries. The country's foreign exchange reserves are greatly influenced by macroeconomics so macroeconomic changes will have a large and rapid impact on foreign exchange reserves. So this research aims to determine the influence of macroeconomics, namely the rate of inflation, exchange rate, export value, and economic growth on the foreign exchange reserves of ASEAN-5 countries. The data processing was carried out using the multiple panel data regression method, empirical data from 2014 to 2021. The results of the data processing that has been carried out show that the model test, together with the inflation rate, exchange rate, export value, and economic growth, has an effect of 94.9867 percent. to the foreign exchange reserves of ASEAN-5 countries. Meanwhile, partially the export value and economic growth variables have a significant effect on ASEAN countries' foreign exchange reserves and are positively proportional, but the inflation rate and exchange rate have no effect on ASEAN countries' foreign exchange reserves and are negatively proportional. Apart from that, the role of the government is also very influential in maintaining the country's foreign exchange reserves because macroeconomics is determined by government policies.

Authors: Mugambi Kenneth , Nyaberi Jackline , Echoka Elizabeth
Published: May 2024

Purpose: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a significant global health challenge, contributing to 50% of worldwide morbidity and 63% of mortality. The burden is particularly substantial in low—and middle-income countries (LMICs), where 80% of NCD-related deaths occur. This study evaluated barriers and challenges to effective screening and linkages of NCDs in Nyeri County.
Methodology: A quasi-experimental non-equivalent pre-and post-test design was conducted from May 2022 to March 2023. The study employed multistage cluster and random sampling to select ten community units, resulting in 150 community health volunteers (CHVs) in the control unit and 150 in the intervention group. Data collection was facilitated through the KOBO app. Qualitative data involved six homogeneous focus group discussions (FGDs) and ten key informant interviews (KIIs), audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using N-Vivo 12.
Findings: Limited awareness, inadequate healthcare infrastructure, cultural beliefs, financial constraints, fragmented healthcare systems, and challenges linking individuals to appropriate care services. The article explores strategies to overcome these barriers, emphasizing the importance of collaborative approaches involving stakeholders at various levels.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Raising awareness about NCDs and preventive measures is crucial and can be achieved through targeted health education campaigns and community outreach programs. Addressing healthcare infrastructure deficiencies, Cultural beliefs and practices and engaging with local communities and incorporating cultural sensitivity into healthcare delivery can help bridge the gap between traditional beliefs and modern healthcare practices. Financial constraints pose a significant barrier particularly in LMICs, therefore innovative financing mechanisms, e.g. health insurance schemes can help alleviate this burden. Finally, strengthening linkages between screening programs and care services is critical for the timely diagnosis and management of NCDs and this requires establishing robust referral systems and ensuring continuity of care for patients throughout their healthcare journey. Addressing the multifaceted barriers to NCD screening and care linkage is essential for improving health outcomes through implementing targeted community intervention like NCD wheel and a user-friendly interface mobile app that contains messages and info about NCDs barriers to care and facilitators to good NCD care and treatment. This will be positively reinforced by a stronger collaboration among stakeholders and community.
Towards a Manifesto for the Liberated Image
Authors: Burbridge Ben , Dewdney Andrew
Published: May 2024

This paper discusses the value of collaborative practices of image-making in relation to technological change and the mode of capitalist reproduction. It situates the discussion of collaboration in the context of a tradition of anti-capitalist radical image-making and what forms of continuity and extensions it might have in contemporary media and education practices. The discussion between the authors starts out from and goes on to review the provocation that photography is no longer capable of acting as a progressive political medium because networked computation is the default of the image. Against this emphasis, the recent “collaborative turn” in art practice and practice-as-research has been cited as a positive critical path for photography. The paper discusses collaboration in terms of neo-liberal institutional incorporation and as a mode of resistance, the former maintaining the commodification of knowledge, whilst the latter points to the possibility of a liberated knowledge paradigm, new curricula and a reorganisation of our universities. To this end, the paper puts together an outline of a manifesto for collaboration. The paper draws upon the recent published work of both authors.
Unruliness and Exorbitance
Authors: Pinney Christopher , Hasselbach Vincent
Published: May 2024

This conversation revolves around the relationship between anthropology and photography, and the roles of participation and collaboration in the process of the photographic event. It draws on Christopher Pinney’s long-running fieldwork engagements in central India, as well as his seminal contributions to anthropological understandings of global photographies. Focusing on the centrality of the photographic event to the “unruliness” of the resulting images, as well as their ontological exorbitance, the conversation explores tensions and debates in photographic theory from the 20th century through to the present day. Centering the idea of collaboration firmly within the ontology of photography, it also explores broader relationships between photography, colonialism, and agency, as well as key issues around photography as an anthropological fieldwork methodology. Taking a deterritorialised approach, it draws on a range of visual cues, ranging from nineteenthcentury colonial photography to contemporary art and vernacular practices in the Indian subcontinent.

Kenya’s Peace Diplomacy in Eastern Africa: Regional Hegemon?
Authors: Kimutai Dr. Gilbert
Published: May 2024

Kenya’s peace diplomacy in Eastern Africa has encompassed mediation, negotiations, peacekeeping operations, and complex peace restoration efforts in collaboration with other actors. The country has contributed significantly to peace initiatives in the region where most of the countries have suffered wars, civil strives and general instability. These efforts have earned the country global accolades and recognition. They are anchored on the country’s peace diplomacy pillar which seeks to consolidate her legacy in promoting peace and stability in countries within the region. This research paper based on the review of secondary data examines the application of Kenya’s peace diplomacy to the resolution of conflicts in Eastern Africa. It surveys the elements of Kenya’s foreign policy that have bolstered her peace diplomacy in the region, analyzes how the country has engaged herself in the pursuit of peace in a region beset by numerous and complex conflicts and questions whether this role and the nature of its execution is elevating the country into the status of a regional hegemon in Eastern Africa. The article concludes that Kenya has harnessed the combined strength of her imminent leaders and personalities, relative stability, regional economic dominance, and the expansion of the space for regional and continental diplomacy to play a major role in the resolution of conflicts and stabilization in the region. The country has consistently projected herself in her foreign policy stance as a peace-loving nation with solemn honor for the basic international norms of respect for the sovereignty of neighboring states, good neighborliness, the peaceful settlement of disputes and non-interference in the internal affairs of other states. The modest achievements in the peace processes combined with the continuing support for peace and state building efforts in neighboring countries are steadily propelling Kenya into the rank of a regional hegemon and a diplomatic powerhouse in Eastern Africa.

Published: May 2024

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients have a higher risk of cardiovascular manifestations such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death in patients with advanced CKD, rather than end-stage kidney disease itself. Essentially, CKD speeds up the ageing process in the cardiovascular system. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of cardiovascular abnormalities in non-hemodialysis CKD patients. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study, was conducted in the Department of Medicine, between October 2020 to September 2022. A total of 50 CKD patients were included. The patients were evaluated & enrolled in the study, based on history, general physical examination, systemic examination, Blood Urea, Serum Creatinine, Urine Routine, Electrocardiograph (ECG) and Echocardiography. Results: In the present study Electrocardiograph & echocardiography determined cardiovascular abnormalities in 68% of patients. Among these 50% of patients had Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) & Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction (LVDD), 8% of patients had Arrhythmias and 6% patients had conduction abnormality, 2% patients had LVH and 2% patients had LVDD. Conclusion: LVH & LVDD are the most common morphological abnormalities observed in our study. We can diagnose Arrhythmias and conduction abnormality by electrocardiogram & echocardiography and refer them for appropriate interventions promptly.

Penggunaan Antibiotik Irasional pada Pasien Anak dengan Sakit Kritis di Unit Perawatan Intensif Anak
Authors: Suriadi Regina , Sofian Jessica , Beyeng Rosalia Theodosia Dateng
Published: May 2024

Pasien di Unit Perawatan Intensif Anak (PICU), selain menghadapi penyakit dasar, juga berisiko tinggi mengalami infeksi sekunder. Kondisi ini disebabkan oleh banyaknya prosedur medis, penggunaan alat-alat invasif, dan lamanya durasi perawatan. Memberikan antibiotik kepada hampir semua pasien PICU, meskipun tanpa tanda-tanda infeksi, telah menjadi praktik umum. Tujuan dari studi ini adalah mengetahui gambaran dan dampak dari penggunaan antibiotik irasional (baik sebagai terapi empiris, profilaksis maupun sebagai terapi definitif), serta mengetahui peran biomarker sebagai acuan pertimbangan pemberian antibiotik pada pasien anak di PICU. Penggunaan antibiotik yang irasional pada anak yang dirawat di PICU masih terjadi di berbagai belahan dunia, baik sebagai terapi empiris, profilaksis maupun sebagai terapi definitif. Hal ini dapat berdampak pada meningkatnya kejadian resistensi antibiotik, memperpanjang durasi perawatan, meningkatkan beban ekonomi masyarakat, dan paling parah dapat meningkatkan angka kematian akibat infeksi. Pemeriksaan PCT dan CRP telah terbukti memiliki kaitan dengan tingkat keparahan penyakit, kedua marker tersebut berperan membedakan etiologi (infeksi vs non-infeksi) pada pasien sehingga dapat memandu inisiasi, deeskalasi, atau penghentian antibiotik. Untuk mengurangi resistensi antibiotik, penting dilakukan edukasi berkala kepada tenaga medis tentang protokol pemberian antibiotik mencakup indikasi, jenis, dosis dan lama pemberian. Dapat pula disediakan form tertulis untuk menilai keperluan terapi dengan menggunakan alur Gyssens. Dibutuhkan kerja sama dari berbagai pihak agar strategi penanganan dapat berjalan secara komprehensif dan berkesinambungan.

Authors: Irawati Nina , Awal Muhammad Irfan Ata Ul
Published: May 2024

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is clinically characterized by two or more symptoms including itching, sneezing, nasal obstruction and rhinorrhoea. It is known to be caused by IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reaction in response to inhaled allergens. It has been shown to have high burden of disease, as patients with AR show significant reductions in the number of healthy days, interruption of daily activities due to symptoms, and overall reduction in quality of life. The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) estimates the prevalence of AR across children and adults to be about 10-30% in the United States (US) and other developed countries. Allergic rhinitis negatively impacts quality of life directly through, or from the consequences of, its symptoms such as sleep disturbances, fatigue, impaired learning and cognitive functions, leading to reduction in productivity, worsened school performances and may also lead to embarrassment.

A laboratory experiment was carried out in one of the laboratories of the horticulture department, college of agriculture, Al-qadisiya university, during the spring season of the year 2023, with the aim using environmentally friendly natural materials instead of chemical fertilizers and studying their effect as fertilizer for chickpea plant (cricer arietinum L). Acomplete randomized design (CRD) was used with three replications and one factors, as the treatments included (T1 control distilled water, T2 banana peels fertilizer, T3 eggs shell fertilizer and T4 mixture of two fertilizers. Results showed that the treatment of the plant with mixture natural fertilizer gave agood result compared to the control treatment 100% ,while it gave the lowest germination rate when the control treatment 91.6 % without significant differences.The results were also the highest in the number of branching of the root of the seedling and in the same treatment 18.6 branch ,while the comparison treatment gave the lowest number of branch and reached 14.3 branch without significant differences .the length of the root stock and feather ,its dry weight and the strength of the seedling also had the highest rates when theT4 treatment reached 12.1 cm ,4cm ,0.299 mg .0.322 mg and 1.7000 respectively ,with significant differnces ,while the rates were lower when the control (T1 treatment )the comparison an ounted to 5.5 cm ,2.3 cm 0.142 mg 0.133 mg and 726.0 resectively

This experiment was objected to increase some Glycosides active compounds production in Stevia rebaudiana seedlings through plant seeds treatment with different concentrations of silver nanoparticles that diagnosed and characterized using AFM technique. This research was implemented at plant tissue culture laboratory of College of biotechnology - Al Nahrain University, throughout the period of 2022 and 2023. The experiment designed factorial within CRD using three expermentse and ten replicates. Sodium hypochlorite concentration (S1, S2, S3, S4) (0.0, 1, 2, 3%) represented the first experment, treatment duration time (T1, T2, T3) (5, 10, 15min) represented experiment 2, silver nanoparticles concentrations (C1, C2, C3, C4) (0, 10, 20, 30 mg.l-1) in MS media, represented experiment 3. Results showed that the contamination rate of the selected S. rebaudiana explant reduced and registered at at 10 and 15min in 3% sodium hypochlorite. The results also showed that there were a significant increase in the shoots numbers in 30 mg.l-1 AgNPs that reach the highest in terms of shoots numbers, the significant increasing of shoot length within the10 mg.l-1 enrolment 14.5cm then decreased in both concentrations 20, 30 mg.l-1 , seedlings dry weight significantly raised up to 20 mg.l-1 , while the seedlings dry weight also significantly droped in 30 mg.l-1 AgNPs., all the analyzed Glycosides compounds using HPLC device as Rubsoside , Dulcoside ,Stevioside concentrations were significantly increased in 20 and 30 mg.l-1 AgNPs, in comparsion to the control
ADMINISTRATIVE LEADERSHIP AND CYBER SECURITY GOUVERNANCE
Authors: GOUAL Dr. Fatima
Published: May 2024

In light of the digital age we live in and the increasingly complex cyber threats that organizations are constantly facing, many organizations are struggling to implement and enforce effective governance programs for cyber security, which has become essential to thriving in today’s digital economy, prompting leaders and managers to understand and deal with it as a strategic risk to their organization level and not just IT risks. The role of managerial leaders is to provide risk governance, which is a trusted challenge to independent management and oversight. Managers should not manage cyber security risks on a small scale, but rather ensure that management is doing a good job by overseeing their practices. However, if managers lack an understanding of the specifics of cyber issues, they may not understand all the ramifications of what executives tell them. To fulfill their oversight responsibilities, directors must proactively address knowledge gaps and the board must acquire deep cybersecurity expertise to effectively protect organizations’ interests. Accordingly, this pure paper came to address the role of managers-leaders in the governance of cybersecurity by undertaking the task of supervising cyber risks, which were identified in six steps that managers-leaders and the board of directors must take into account.

TEACHING EFL TO PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS IN PRIVATE- SUPPLEMENTARY SESSIONS: WHAT AFTER UNIVERSITY DIDACTICS?
Authors: BENETTAYEB Dr. Assia
Published: May 2024

At the university level, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students study didactics for one year as part of their ‘Licence Degree’ (equivalent to Bachelor Degree). During a two semesters of didactics studies they are supposed to deal with different approaches and methods of foreign language teaching including Grammar Translation Method (GTM), Direct Method (DM), Audio-Lingual Method (ALM), Communicative Language Learning (CLL) and Competency-Based Approach (CBA). However, no classroom practice or training in these approaches is offered to them, something that may impede them to acquaint the real pros and cons of each method separately especially if applied in diverse teaching situations. The present paper tries to put particular consideration on novice bachelor degree holders teaching EFL to primary school pupils in private- supplementary sessions. It seeks to provide a didactic vision of the method they actually adopt/adapt to teach those beginners a language that is totally different from their first native language. It represents a case study held with novice licence holders who are teaching supplementary English courses to primary school students outside the schools doors.A questionnaire and a diagnostic test were used in order to elicit necessary data which were analysed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The main findings of the study illuminated important results about the misunderstanding and misuse of some approaches to EFL teaching/learning and the necessity of pre-service training for novice teachers in the implementation of these methods to teach children at primary level. In the same area of teaching young students, some useful recommendations are suggested in order to provide help for the concerned teachers.
