Black pod rot is the most economically important disease of cocoa in Malaysia which is mainly caused by a highly polyphagous Phytophthora species, called Phytophthora palmivora. The fungus could attack all parts of the cocoa plant organs and caused various diseases at any growth stage from seedling until the mature stages, especially during raining season. The application of synthetic fungicides has been widely recommended to manage the disease but their repeated use had led to other problems such as environmental, human health and development of fungicide resistance issues. This study isolated and identified Phytopththora isolate from a cocoa pod sample based on micro-morphological characters. Besides, the present investigation was undertaken to screen for the antifungal potency of different weed extracts against the Phytophthora pathogen using poisoned food technique. The fungal isolate was successfully recovered from pod tissues of clone PBC123 on 20% tomato juice agar culture (20T). Only one out of ten weed extracts tested showed a significant in vitro inhibitory effect towards mycelial growth of Phytophthora isolate, which was aqueous crude leaf extract of Solanum torvum (42.68%). This study indicated that the potential of weed extracts in the management of Phytophthora diseases, and may offer more natural, effective and economical control methods.

Research on the integration and innovation of red culture and ideological and political education in universities in the new media era
Authors: Xia Xian
Published: August 2023

As an important resource for ideological and political education, red culture has a positive role in promoting college students’ cultivation and practice of socialist core values and enhancing cultural self-confidence. In the face of the integration of red culture into ideological and political education in colleges and universities, there are still problems, such as the single way of integration, weak integration content, and poor integration effect. Improving the integration of red culture into the ideology and politics of colleges and universities is an important task of the current ideological and political education work in colleges and universities. This paper uses the fuzzy analysis model to assess the integration of red culture and ideological and political education in colleges and universities and uses questionnaires to investigate the way teachers use red culture resources, the use of red resources in the classroom, student’s understanding of red resources, some problems in integration, and ways to explore the innovation of integration. In the process of integrating red culture with ideology and politics, there are mainly problems such as the low degree of integration of ideology and politics classes with local red cultural resources, the lack of ability of political science teachers to link theory with practice, and the lack of awareness of the importance of red cultural resources among ideology and politics teachers. 23.5% of teachers’ schools’ ideology and politics classes are closely integrated with local red cultural resources, and 50.9% of teachers think the integration is average. Moreover, 35.6% of teachers’ schools’ ideological and political classes are not integrated with local red cultural resources. The degree and depth of integration of red culture and thought politics education are seriously insufficient. In the new media era, we should keep up with the trend of the times and use innovative ways to strengthen the integration of red culture and college thought politics.

The application of video text generation technology in assessing the effectiveness of teaching ethnic traditional sports
Authors: Tang Zhi , Wang Dongdong
Published: August 2023

Ethnic traditional sports are forms of physical activity unique to one or more ethnic groups. Effective evaluation of the teaching effectiveness of ethnic traditional sports helps to promote the development of ethnic sports and the transmission of ethnic traditional sports. Currently, the evaluation of ethnic traditional sports is mainly a scoring system, which evaluates students’ performance in ethnic traditional sports through teachers’ scoring, and this evaluation method is difficult to assess the teaching effectiveness of ethnic traditional sports accurately. In this paper, based on the video text generation technology, the 3D residual attention network model is constructed by introducing the attention mechanism into the 3D residual module in the video feature extraction through the encoding-decoding video text description framework and improving the traditional deep residual network for evaluating the teaching effect of ethnic sports. After experimental validation, it is shown that the 3D residual attention network model can more accurately describe the evaluation of ethnic traditional sports teaching effectiveness using natural language.

Multiple myeloma in Saudi Arabia: a comprehensive literature review
Authors: AlSharif Fahad
Published: August 2023

Multiple myeloma (MM) accounts for around 1%-2% of all cancers, and it is more prevalent in men than women. MM is responsible for an estimated 176,000 cases and 117,000 deaths annually worldwide. Most myeloma malignancies contain genetic abnormalities that may be identified using sensitive molecular genetic methods such as interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization. The risk categorization has a high prognostic value and aids in the choice of initial treatment options. Diagnostic delays have been linked to worsening the disease's course and can lead to complications, including pathological fractures and renal failure. They are also connected with worse cancer stages and lower survival rates. There is a scarcity of published data in Saudi Arabia on the characteristics, management practices, as well as outcomes of MM patients. This review discusses the current trends and practices in MM worldwide and compares them with current Saudi Arabia practices.

Authors: Mugambi Philip Gitonga  , Dr. Samson Nyang’au Paul
Published: August 2023

The aviation industry plays a major role in the world economy and plays a key role in the realization of Kenya Vision 2030 and the Big Four Agenda. ICAO strives to implement practical and achievable measures to improve air safety and efficiency in the air transportation system, such as Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP) and Aviation System Block Upgrades (ASBU) methodology. The KCAA Airspace Master Plan for 2015–2030 delivers a number of recommendations for the project implementation plan of CNS technologies that will supplement the airspace infrastructure in Kenya. Most of these recommendations stem from the priorities allocated to ICAO ASBU modules to meet the KCAA operational objectives. This project implementation plan is structured to cover Air Navigation Services (ANS). Performance of air safety projects has remained below the global targets in most African states and, consequently, high accident rates. Risk transfer strategy have been identified as one of the factors that affect project performance in other industries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of risk transfer strategy on the performance of air safety projects in the civil aviation industry in Nairobi County, Kenya. The specific objective of the study was to determine the influence of risk transfer strategy on the performance of air safety projects in the civil aviation industry in Kenya. The study was guided by Agency Theory. A descriptive research design was adopted, and the target population comprised 277 KCAA staff in the ANS department stationed in different stations in Nairobi County. Slovin’s formula was used to obtain a sample population of 164 from a target population of 277. The study used primary data that was gathered by administering questionnaires. Then the data were summarized and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics comprised mean, averages, and standard deviation, while inferential statistics comprised correlation and regression analysis. SPSS software was used to generate the statistics. The findings of the study were presented in the form of tables, frequencies, and percentages to ease interpretations and understanding. Findings from correlation and regression statistics indicated that risk transfer had a positive and significant influence on the performance of air safety projects in the civil aviation industry. This study strongly recommends that more research is required to confirm if the findings hold for other types of public institutions in the transport sector. Future researchers could look into risk transfer strategies in the context before and after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and how it impacts the performance of air safety projects in the civil aviation industry

Published: August 2023

Annona muricata L. (soursop) fruit, consumed globally, is highly susceptible to attack by fungal organisms. Fungal fruit rots' impact on Annona muricata is gradually increasing globally, with distribution in tropical areas, including southern Nigeria, resulting in reducing market availability and fruit quality. This study was aimed at surveying the post-harvest disease symptoms associated with Annona muricata fruits displayed for sales and the disease incidence-severity, which indicates the extent of the damage caused by the symptoms. Soursop fruit samples in Port Harcourt Local Government Area (PHALGA) and Obio-Apkor Local Government Area in Rivers State, Nigeria, were surveyed. Each fruit was scored on a disease severity scale of 0–4 (0% no disease), (1–25% trace of disease), (25–50% light disease), (50–75% moderate disease) and (75–100% severe disease). The data obtained were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% level of probability using LSD (Least Significant Difference). The study revealed that Annona muricata fruits were dominated by fungal disease symptoms of dry rot, soft rot, anthracnose, powdery mildew and diplodia fruit rot. There was no significant difference between location pairs for all disease symptoms of incidence and severity of Annona muricata, respectively. Fungal diseases at the post-harvest stage pose a threat to storage durability, distribution and market availability of fruits.

The goal of the study was to evaluate the role civic education played in sustainable development and the impact it has had in solving leadership problems currently occurring in many nations, regions, towns, organizations, and even religions around the globe. This research clarified the terms civic education, sustainable development, and leadership; it also looked at the connections between civic education and leadership, the effects of civic education on leadership qualities, and the connections between civic education and sustainable development. It became clear that the lack of civic education in schools is the cause of leadership problems at various levels and in different settings. It argued that the only answer to diverse leadership problems in different nations is political education. The various theories of leadership, which contends that meeting a group's needs and wants is the core of management, were used in the study to support our claims. According to this theory, a leader has only performed his duties well when he has contributed to the efﬁcacy and group cohesiveness. Through televised public forums, print media, and television announcements, it is advised that the significance and effect of civic education on sustainable development, leadership, and good governance be consistently conveyed to students, undergraduates, and the public at large.

Published: August 2023

Saudi Arabia experienced extreme volatility in oil price booms during a short period due to COVID-19, which traded for 16 days. The oil price boom period has received significant attention as it is essential to a nation’s economic sector. The objective of this study was to examine how changes in oil volatility under specific conditions affect the stock market return indices and exchange rate of Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Arabia capital market was used as the case study, while the average daily exchange rate and stock market were employed as the primary variable. This study covers the period from March 21, 2014, to November 19, 2020. The wavelet methodology was used for data analysis. The study's findings revealed that oil is not a safe haven for the bond market in Saudi Arabia. Similarly, oil-primarily functions as a safe haven for a short period that last for 16 days. The findings revealed that oil price fluctuation has no impact and a safe haven effect on the various deals in the Saudi Arabian capital market. It also suggests that market participants focus on oil price trading as a significant tool for determining the volatility of stock market returns in underdeveloped countries.

In recent years, financial institutions have embraced mobile banking, which has revolutionized their operations and those of other firms. This research sought to determine the effects of mobile banking on the financial performance of Equity Bank. The specific objectives were to determine the financial performance of Equity Bank, to find out the most mobile banking products contributing to the overall financial performance of Equity Bank, to find out the contribution of mobile banking to the overall financial performance, and to determine the mobile banking major strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The target population was the employees of Equity Bank. A sample size of 30 employees was selected by stratified and simple random sampling methods from 10 branches of Equity Bank in Nairobi. The data collection was done using a questionnaire. The results were presented in tables with descriptive measures. The results showed that ROE of Equity Bank was 26.1% and ROA was 3.5% in 2022, which increased from the previous year, 2021. The Equity bank had an outstanding financial performance with large profits to which mobile banking products significantly contributed. It was found that Equity Bank produced mobile banking products such as equitel sim cards, which positively influenced financial performance. The major strength of mobile banking was easy to use, and the main weakness of mobile banking was network downtime. The opportunity of mobile banking was accessibility and reliability, while the major threat of mobile banking was found to be hacking. The study recommended that policymakers should reconsider mobile banking in their design of policies due to its expansion and effectiveness. Equity Bank should continue using mobile banking in its operations because mobile banking is one of the ways by which Equity Bank has generated its revenues and has attracted more customers to use its services and products, which has increased its financial performance. However, Equity Bank needs to take more strenuous measures to eliminate the threats of hacking and minimise network downtime. More strategies should be taken by the management of Equity Bank to effectively continue facing the main competitors.

Published: August 2023

The issue of whether firm-specific attributes drive the disclosure of governance sustainability still remains a puzzle among scholars. Governance Sustainability Reporting (GSR) in Nigeria, as affected by firm-specific attributes, was investigated. To understudy the effect, ex-post facto research design, non-probability (purposive) sampling technique, and Panel regression estimation were employed with reliance on the annual report (secondary data) of listed 112 Non-Financial Firms (NFF) from 2012-2021, out of which 82 firms were selected. Also, Hausman test (fixed effect) was conducted using E-views. The findings of the study show that board diligence and board independence have positive significant effects on the governance disclosure index, while profitability has a negative insignificant effect on the governance disclosure index of NFF in Nigeria. According to the findings, the Governance sustainability reporting of listed NFF in Nigeria is significantly influenced by firm-specific attributes. Therefore, the study recommends that board diligence and independence in terms of board meeting frequency and independent directors be encouraged because it positively affects the governance sustainability reporting of NFF listed in Nigeria Exchange Group.

Advancement in technology has made many universities to adopt the system of storing students' results in online databases in both developed and developing countries for easy accessibility and to eliminate redundancy. However, these are subject to different types of attacks ranging from hardware to software attacks. In Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA), Cyber Security department is not left out because attackers contribute a potential threat to the institution's information security. There are various methods attackers can use to carry out this malicious act, but this research considered SQL injection attacks. The researcher reviews related works, designs and implements student database applications for FUTA Cyber Security department. The research demonstrates how SQL injection can be used to change student grades and preventive measures to minimize SQL injection attacks, such as avoiding sharing database accounts using different sites or applications, regular updates of database software, regular update of security patches and passwords and regular scanning of web applications with a web vulnerability scanner.

Authors: Kido Kumiko , Uemura Yuko
Published: August 2023

This study aimed to provide knowledge for midwives to deepen their understanding of their clients when working closely with women during the perinatal period through an integrative review of ‘fear of childbirth’, and to clarify the research topics to be addressed in the future. Methods: This study used an integrative review (IR) method in addition to bibliometric analysis methods to classify and analyse the studies. Review questions (RQ) included 1. ‘what is the status of research efforts (number of papers, location, etc.) on “fear of childbirth”?’, 2. ‘what are the screening methods and prevalence of “fear of childbirth”?’, and 3. ‘what can be learned from the findings of these studies?’Findings: RQ1: The number of papers published gradually increased after 1981 and has been increasing since 2000. Studies conducted in Scandinavia accounted for more than half of the total studies. Conversely, only five studies were conducted in Japan. RQ2: The Wijma Delivery Experience Questionnaire is a screening scale for fear of childbirth developed in Sweden, which has been translated and utilised in multiple languages. In meta-analyses worldwide, the prevalence of fear of childbirth has been reported to range from 3.7% to 43%. RQ3: Fear of childbirth leaves a negative impression of past childbirth experiences on women’s psychological well-being and subsequently leads to post-traumatic stress disorder. Intervention studies have shown that prenatal education can help couples overcome their fear of childbirth. However, the effectiveness of intervention studies that have examined these psychological aspects has not yet been clarified.Conclusion: The prevalence of fear of childbirth varies considerably, possibly owing to cultural differences. Research on fear of childbirth has reported negative effects on the postpartum period and on subsequent pregnancy and childbirth. Practising women-centred care may help prevent this fear.
