The Central Monitoring System And Privacy: Analysing What We Know So Far
Authors: Reddy Jaideep
Published: July 2024

State-run surveillance is as old as the ages, but the wired state of our lives has put it in the spotlight more now than perhaps ever before. Our communication and data can often be veritable repositories of all that we are, and many governments today have the technological means to give them relatively easy access to most of our private data. Civil society around the world has therefore naturally expressed concern over the increasing scope of State surveillance. The Central Monitoring System (hereafter, “CMS”) is a new technology for State surveillance in India, and is in the nascent stages of implementation. It was in 2009, amidst the first hints of information from government sources about this new technology that concern began to arise in civil society in India about the impact of the new form of surveillance on private data and communication. This paper, based on an analysis of the little and scattered official information available on the CMS, discusses, from a privacy viewpoint, the extent to which the CMS is likely to change the landscape of State surveillance in India from what it is today. A tentative evaluation is also made of whether the CMS looks likely to achieve the security-privacy balance, followed by certain suggestions that may help in achieving such a balance.
The Data Exclusivity Debate In India: Time For A Rethink?
Authors: Reddy T. Prashant
Published: July 2024

Data exclusivity or regulatory marketing exclusivity is a concept that has been subject to much debate in the Indian context – with specific reference to the Indian pharmaceutical and agro-chemical industries. This debate has been carried on in the backdrop of obligations under the TRIPS as well as the Indo-EU Free Trade Agreement. In this paper, the author discusses the concept of data exclusivity in the light of the existing regulatory regime for pharmaceuticals and agro-chemicals in India. He also examines various Committee reports to glean the Indian stance on data exclusivity for agro-chemicals as well as pharmaceuticals and the contradictions therein. The paper proposes data exclusivity as an incentive for drug companies to conduct clinical trials, particularly local clinical trials in India rather than free-riding on foreign trials. Although such local clinical trials are in the interest of public health, they remain almost prohibitively expensive. Therefore, it is necessary that the conduct of such trials is incentivised. As the high threshold for patentability in India deters patents from being employed as such incentive, this paper nominates data exclusivity as a possible solution

Published: July 2024

The study addressed the use of models to estimate dendrometric variables in a commercial plantation of Pinus taeda L. Allometric relationships were applied to estimate diameter at breast height (DBH) based on stump diameter (SD), providing a mathematical approach to relate these two variables. Additionally, a "conventional" measurement exclusively of DBH was conducted to compare the values obtained with traditional approach to the results of the proposed modeling. The study also explored hypsometric relationships to estimate tree height as a function of DBH, enabling an efficient and economical assessment of tree characteristics in the forest stand. Furthermore, a forest census was conducted in the area, allowing a comprehensive comparison between the methods used and the actual data from the forest stand, reinforcing the importance of these approaches for effective forest resource management. The results showed that the models were effective in estimating volume, basal area, and the number of trees per hectare, with consistent results compared to the forest census. Therefore, the study concludes that stump inventory methods are effective in estimating dendrometric data in Pinus taeda L. plantations, even after forest cutting events, thereby supporting forestry experts in conducting precise assessments in areas with completed timber harvesting and in making informed decisions. This contributes to the effective and sustainable management of forest resources and the enforcement of laws in cases of environmental or economic damage.

Embora as vacinas tenham um impacto significativo na saúde, salvando milhões de vidas e aumentando a expectativa de vida, a aceitação delas não é universal. Durante a pandemia de Covid-19, apesar dos números positivos em relação à eficácia das vacinas, houve indivíduos que optaram por não se vacinar ou hesitaram. O presente artigo tem como objetivo compreender as motivações para recusa e hesitação vacinal contra a Covid-19 no Brasil e suas reverberações na Cultura Brasileira de Imunização. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, na qual foram utilizadas as bases de dados Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde e Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde. O Movimento Antivacina, caracterizado pela resistência ou recusa à vacinação, emergiu como um fenômeno de destaque durante a pandemia de Covid-19. Esse movimento se baseia em teorias infundadas, desinformação e desconfiança em relação à eficácia, segurança e necessidade das vacinas para prevenir doenças infecciosas, incluindo o coronavírus. A recusa e a hesitação vacinal contra a Covid-19 no Brasil são influenciadas por uma série de fatores complexos, como: desconfiança institucional, desinformação, aspectos culturais e experiências passadas. Essas atitudes representam desafios significativos para a Cultura Brasileira de Imunização, minando a confiança e comprometendo os esforços de vacinação em meio à pandemia.
A dignidade como limite à liberdade de expressão
Authors: Silva Matheus Teixeira da
Published: July 2024

O artigo examina a relação entre dignidade humana e liberdade de expressão, entendendo ambas como princípios fundamentais. Essa interseção levanta questões complexas sobre os limites da liberdade de expressão, especialmente quando se trata de discursos de ódio. O estudo visa encontrar um equilíbrio entre a livre manifestação do pensamento e a proteção da dignidade humana. A pesquisa foca em como discursos de ódio podem ser limitados para proteger a dignidade individual, contribuindo para o debate público e promovendo uma sociedade mais tolerante. O artigo argumenta que a dignidade pode impor limites à liberdade individual e explora a eficácia horizontal dos direitos fundamentais, permitindo que esses direitos sejam oponíveis também a particulares. Dessa forma, destaca-se a necessidade de regulamentar a liberdade de expressão para proteger a dignidade humana, especialmente no contexto digital, onde a disseminação de discursos de ódio e desinformação é prevalente. A análise inclui uma revisão da doutrina, jurisprudência e estudos de caso, propondo soluções para equilibrar esses direitos em conflito. Conclui-se que a tutela da dignidade deve prevalecer sobre a liberdade de expressão quando esta última for utilizada para incitar ódio e violência, reforçando a importância de construir uma sociedade mais justa e democrática.
New Age hiedelmek cyber-köntösben: az energiavámpír
Authors: Kis-Halas Judit
Published: July 2024

In this presentation I try to trace the ways and processes how entirely new supernatural beings emerge, and function and at the same time, how old notions gain new interpretations in current popular belief in Hungary. Post New Age discourses on physical and mental health / healing, namely the so-called energy-healing methods form the broader context of my examination. The extremely popular methods of energy-healing are based on three major 'theoretical' principles: 1) in each creature of the universe there exists a certain inner energy of cosmic (or divine) origin; 2) this cosmic energy is in constant flow, since each creature is able to absorb it from and then recycle it into the environment; 3) the fundamental cause of any kind of mental or physical illnesses is the disturbance of acquiring and / or utilizing this energy. Within the above mentioned discourses there exists a psychologising quasi-theory, called ' energy-vampirism', which seems to be a rather effective tool in explaining certain forms and patterns of human behaviour, or special situations or conditions in everyday life (including also illnesses, personal conflicts, etc.). Developing the basic ideas of energy-healing, energyvampirism considers the exchange of energies as ultimate goal of social communication. Furthermore, it differentiates between three types of human behaviour on the basis of energycycling and recycling abilities: 1) energy-supportive, 2) energy-consuming; 3) and neutral (from this 'energetic' point of view) types. Since the shortage of energy may lead to serious mental and physical symptoms, one spontaneously strives against it. There is a strange creature constantly referred in this situation: the energy-vampire, which is charged for blocking the flow of cosmic life-energy. According to relevant narratives energy-vampires are malevolent demonic beings, which possess humans occasionally and like parasites devour their life-energies causing serious illnesses. Its supernatural, non-human characteristics are supported by further synonyms, like 'being', 'astral-body', 'demon', 'üdére', 'spirit'. Not only in the semantic field, but also in the context of beliefs energy-vampires are strongly resembling of certain supernatural beings of traditional Hungarian folk belief, like the above mentioned 'üdére', the devil, the witch, and the malevolent Dead. Merging the characteristics of traditional supernatural beings with post New Age ideas, the figure of the energy-vampire is a typical creature of current popular belief.

Published: July 2024

Today, one of the pressing issues for modern society is the fight against risk factors for the development of non-communicable diseases, including obesity. This article provides current data on the epidemiology of obesity in children and adolescents in the world. Obesity is recognized as a global problem as there is an increase in obesity worldwide. Some researchers estimate that by 2030, nearly a third of the world's population could be overweight or obese. This problem occurs not only in developed countries, but also in low- and middle-income countries. According to the WHO, between 1975 and 2016, worldwide, the proportion of children and adolescents aged 5–19 years who are overweight or obese more than quadrupled, from 4% to 18% (WHO, 2020). In 2019, approximately 38 million children under 5 years of age were overweight or obese (WHO, 2020). Childhood obesity has a 70-80% likelihood of leading to adolescent and adult obesity. Today, obesity is considered the most important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and metabolic disorders (according to WHO, it determines the development of up to 44-57% of type 2 diabetes mellitus, 30% of cholelithiasis, 17-23% of cases of coronary heart disease, 17% - arterial hypertension, 14% - osteoarthritis) and reproductive dysfunction and an increased risk of developing cancer.
An Energy-Efficient improved Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm-Based Cluster Head and Shamir Secrets Sharing-Based WSNs with Secure Data Transfer
Authors: Yuvaraja M , Sureshkumar S , Joseph James S , Teresa V V
Published: July 2024

Introduction: due to its self-configurability, ease of maintenance, and scalability capabilities, WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) have intrigued plenty of interest in a variety of fields. To move data within the network, WSNs are set up with more nodes. The security of SNs (sensing nodes), which are vulnerable to malevolent attackers since they are network nodes, is a crucial element of an IoT (Internet of Things)-based WSN. This study's primary objective is to provide safe routing and mutual authentication with IoT-based WSNs.
Method: the basic GWO algorithm's imbalances between explorations and mining, lack of population heterogeneity, and early convergences are all issues that this paper addresses by selecting energy-efficient CHs (cluster Heads) using EECIGWO algorithm, an upgraded version of the GWO, is used. Mean distances within clusters, well-spaced residual energies, and equilibrium of CHs are all factors that influence the choices of CHs. The average intra-cluster distances, sink distances, residual energies, and CHs balances are some of the criteria used to choose CHs.
Results and Discussion: the proposed EECHIGWO-based clustering protocol's average throughput, dead node counts, energy consumption, and operation round counts have all been evaluated. Additionally, mutual authentication between the nodes is provided through SSS (Shamir Secret Sharing) mechanism. PDR (Packet Delivery Ratio) analysis is used to assess how well the EECHIGWO-IOT-WSNs are performing.
Conclusion: the suggested proposed approach is assessed against existing methods like HHH-SS (Hybrid Harris Hawk and Salp Swarm), ESR (Energy-efficient and Secure Routing) protocol, and LWTS (Light Weight Trust Sensing) approaches in terms of AEED (Average End-to-End Delay), network overheads, and PLR (Packet Loss Ratio)

Published: July 2024

Two field experiments were carried out in consecutive winter season of 2022 and 2023 at the Research and Production Station of the National Research Centre at the Nubaria site in Beheira Governorate, Egypt, to determine the response of pea (Pisum sativumL.) to foliar application of humic acid and phosphorus fertilization on growth, yield parametres and nutrients content of pea plant. Phosphate fertilization rates (0, 36, 72 and 108 P2O5 kg ha-1) were used as the main factor, while humic acid concentrations (0, 1000 and 2000 mg l-1) were used as a second factor.The results showed significant growth and yield responses to phosphate fertilizer application and humic acid spraying. Increasing the application rate of humic acid at various concentrations and at the same time increasing the application rate of phosphorus fertilizer affected the growth and yield of pea in two consecutive growing seasons. The experimental treatment(humic acid at 2000 mgl-1+ 108 Kg P2O5ha-1of phosphorus fertilizer) was given the highest values for the pea growth and yield coordinates. Increasing the concentration of humic acid spraying led to a raise in the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content of pea seeds.The research results summarize the importance of paying attention to phosphorus fertilization, and spraying plants with humic acid during plant growth can increase the effectiveness of phosphorus fertilization and its effect on pea plants growing on sandy soils.
La Puerta Fundición: un sitio metalúrgico temprano en el valle de Copiapó, Región de Atacama, Norte de Chile
Authors: Plaza María Teresa , Garrido Francisco
Published: July 2024

Este trabajo presenta las evidencias más tempranas de metalurgia en el valle de Copiapó, Región de Atacama, norte de Chile, correspondientes al sitio La Puerta Fundición. Nuevos fechados radiocarbónicos y el análisis de minerales, escorias y objetos de metal revelan que las comunidades Molle desarrollaron técnicas para extraer cobre desde el período Alfarero Temprano (1-800 d.C.). Los metalurgistas alcanzaron temperaturas entre 1.000-1.100 ºC, condiciones redox oxidantes, y que procesaron minerales de malaquita con impurezas de arsénico, azufre y antimonio. La heterogeneidad química y microestructural de las escorias sugiere que los parámetros de trabajo fueron relativamente inestables, pero, a pesar de esto, lograron extraer cantidades suficientes de cobre para un uso a baja escala. El uso de bronce estañífero y cobre arsenical en los objetos terminados implica relaciones con el noroeste argentino, así como la posible manufactura local de alguna de estas piezas.
Marcas en el paisaje: la emergencia de los cerros mineros en la cartografía manuscrita del Tucumán colonial
Authors: Quiroga Laura
Published: July 2024

Este trabajo propone analizar la cartografía manuscrita y los discursos textuales que describen las tierras altas de la gobernación del Tucumán como escenario de un proyectado espacio minero colonial. El mapa objeto de análisis, catalogado como MP-Buenos Aires 4 (Archivo General de Indias), carece de fecha y autoría. La nota de catalogación menciona que este ejemplar acompaña la probanza de méritos de Ruy Díaz de Guzmán, autor de los Anales del Río de la Plata (1612). Se postula que este mapa representa una serie de regiones ensambladas según los criterios de representación de cada sector por separado. Para el caso del Tucumán, se destacan las referencias a la conformación de un paisaje minero colonial a partir de las indicaciones en el territorio de las toponimias que señalan los enclaves mineros del Inca, junto con la representación más antigua del cerro Famatina que, según las aspiraciones de los gobernadores, emularía los rendimientos del Potosí.
La minería polinesia en un aislamiento extremo: Canteras, fuentes, minas y talleres de basalto en Rapa Nui
Authors: Simpson Jr. Dale F.
Published: July 2024

Rapa Nui es una de las islas polinesias con mayor diversidad geológica. Los antiguos rapa nui aprovecharon esta diversidad y utilizaron una variedad de rocas volcánicas para construir elementos megalíticos como moai (estatua), ahu (plataforma) y pukao (gorro/pelo). Sin embargo, uno de los tipos de roca más importantes para el uso diario y ceremonial era el basalto. Para documentar la multiplicidad de canteras, fuentes, minas y talleres que se encuentran en esta isla de la Polinesia oriental, se creó el Proyecto Geoquímico Rapa Nui (PGRN). Utilizando tres temporadas de terreno entre los años 2014 y 2017, el PGRN documentó 83 sitios ubicados en cinco áreas de estudio en toda la isla. A partir de una tipología geoarqueológica, este artículo clasifica y describe estos 83 sitios y destaca cómo los antiguos isleños fueron prolíficos mineros que crearon paisajes antropogénicos centrados en la fabricación extensiva tanto de herramientas como piedras de construcción.

Published: July 2024

La educación es un elemento básico para la innovación social y cultural de los pueblos, dado que, la literatura oral ha de deducirse como el conjunto de narraciones que se exteriorizan de viva voz de una generación a otra. Las tradiciones y expresiones orales sirven para transmitir conocimientos en los centros educativos con el fin de rescatar los valores culturales y sociales, y una memoria colectiva. En el 2022 se investigó sobre la diversidad lingüística que corre cada vez mayor peligro ya que la desaparición de las lenguas aumenta a un ritmo alarmante. Y cuando una lengua desaparece, se lleva consigo todo un patrimonio cultural e intelectual. Se analiza el riesgo y la dispersión del lenguaje oral, para transmitir emociones y sentimientos que les permitan interactuar y logren las manifestaciones de las: leyendas, mitos, cuentos tradicionales, adivinanzas, y cualquier otra expresión verbal, con carácter estético que sea transmitida usando la voz. Posteriormente, se propone estrategias neuro didácticas que se apliquen en las aulas de clase, que permita a los docentes emplear en su praxis educativa, para desarrollar las competencias comunicacionales en el área de Lengua y Literatura.
Systematic Literature Review: Using Mind Mapping to Improve Students' Creative Thinking Abilities
Authors: Faradiba P St. Asyah Alya , Arsad BAHRI
Published: July 2024

This research aims to explore the influence of mind mapping on improving students' creative thinking abilities. Through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, this article collects and analyzes relevant research results to provide a comprehensive picture of this topic. The results of the study show that mind mapping helps students organize information visually, which makes it easier for them to see relationships between concepts more clearly and holistically. The use of mind mapping has also been proven to stimulate students' creativity by encouraging them to think divergently and produce various new ideas. Additionally, mind mapping facilitates collaboration among students, allowing them to share ideas and work together on group projects, which is important for the development of creative thinking skills. By helping students see the relationships between concepts more clearly and holistically, mind mapping has proven to be effective in improving creative thinking abilities. Therefore, it is recommended that the integration of mind mapping in the learning process be implemented more widely in the educational curriculum. Teacher training regarding mind mapping techniques is also an important factor in ensuring effective and optimal implementation and improving students' creative thinking abilities. Thus, mind mapping not only functions as a learning tool but also as an effective method for developing students' overall creative potential.

Phytochemical screening (qualitative and quantitative screening) analysis was carried out on the ethanolic leave extract using standard method, while the chemical compounds were established with HPLC-DAD and GCMS and Pharmacognostic evaluation was carried out on the powdered leave. Results and discussion: Qualitative phytochemical analysis of the leave extract reveals the presence of flavonoids, terpenes, alkaloid, tannins and saponin while carbohydrate, glycosides and resins were absent. Quantitative phytochemical screening shows alkaloid present to be 2.4±0.4% and saponin 2±1.32%. HPLC analysis reveals the presence of quercetin, rutin, catechin and ferulic acid while GCMS reveals the presence of cyclohexene, Palmitic acid, 17-Octadecynoic acid, 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid and Phytol. Total Ash content is (15.23±0.43) %w/w with acid insoluble ash of (1.16 ±0.28) %w/w, water soluble ash of (8.13 ±0.32) %w/w, moisture content (5.67 ±0.14) %w/w, alcohol soluble extractive value of (5.76 ±0.40) %w/w and water-soluble extractive value of (10.96 ±0.35) %w/w. Chemomicroscopic evaluation indicate the presence of lignin, cellulose, tannins, starch, calcium oxalate, oils and protein. Microscopy, fluorescence and organoleptic analysis were also documented. Conclusion: From this study, the presence of valuable phytochemicals has been established from the plant, while HPLC and GCMS revealed the identities of these compounds. Thus, the physico chemical parameters established for Physalis angulata in this study falls within the range approved by WHO (1992) for crude plant and extract.

Floods are a frequent and challenging disaster, caused by factors such as heavy rainfall and improper waste disposal in drainage systems, leading to significant material and non-material losses. Effective measures are needed to mitigate flood impacts. This study uses bibliometric analysis to explore methods for flood disaster management, employing Publish or Perish software to filter relevant journals from Crossref. The data, including research titles, authors, publication years, and journal sources, is processed using VOSViewer software. The analysis shows that keywords like rainfall, drainage, and flood mitigation are central to the research, highlighting strong interconnections. The diversity of publishers and research types contributes to a global perspective, forming a solid research foundation. The study also tracks the growth of research on flood management in drainage channels from 2016 to 2023 and identifies diverse geographical case study regions. This analysis underscores the continued relevance and potential of this research to support effective global flood mitigation strategies.
Forecast Analysis of Fruit Supply Using Time-Series Method: A Study at PT Aerofood Indonesia
Authors: Nasution Baginda Muhammad , Vikaliana Resista
Published: July 2024

PT Aerofood Indonesia is an entity operating in the aviation logistics industry, specifically as a partner of the Garuda Indonesia airline.  The main problem faced is the tendency to have excessive supplies of raw materials, especially in the aspect of purchasing fruit because it is susceptible to damage. This phenomenon often recurs and peaks beyond dry goods capacity limits, especially the availability of papaya fruit which often exceeds capacity by more than 50%. Therefore, this research aims to identify the optimal forecasting method for papaya fruit to overcome the problem of excessive stock. In this research, four forecasting approaches were tested, namely Trend Analysis, Single Average Exponential, Double Average Exponential, and Holt's Winter Method. Forecasting calculations were carried out using a manual approach and supported by Minitab 18 software. The research results showed that the Holt's Winter method with a multiplicative approach produced the lowest Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), namely 16%.  The Holt's Winter method with a multiplicative approach has proven to be effective in producing accurate forecasts. By implementing this recommended forecasting method, it is hoped that companies can be more efficient in managing inventory and reduce the impact of losses due to excess stock.
Introduction: The legacy of Bhekizizwe Peterson for Psychology in Society
Authors: Bradbury Jill , Kiguwa Peace
Published: July 2024

This special issue of PINS commemorates and celebrates the work and thought of the late renowned Professor of African literature and award-winning film-maker, Bhekizizwe Peterson. From different angles, the authors in this volume place psychology in dialogue with Peterson’s work, continuing a transdisciplinary conversation in which he was a consistently generous and enlivening interlocutor. Contemporary imperatives to decolonise intellectual traditions and reconceptualise personhood and psychic life in historical, social and political terms, are articulated in a societal context (South Africa and beyond, across the continent and the globe) that is repeatedly described as ‘in crisis’. In the here-and-now, the explicit agenda of PINS to explore psychology in society, entails theorising human life in pervasively dehumanising conditions of inequality, intergenerational trauma, and the precarity of planetary life. Peterson has much to say to these critical questions, and this special issue provides a unique opportunity for the readers of PINS to engage with his remarkable oeuvre of scholarly, artistic and activist work across the fields and modalities of lliterature, film, and literary and social criticism, opening up invigorating lines for re-thinking the disciplinary praxis of psychology.
Walking with Bhekizizwe Peterson: The shadows and afterlives of exile
Authors: Nkomo Nkululeko
Published: July 2024

Zwelidumile “Dumile” Feni’s affecting journey unfolds as he flees South Africa in 1968, seeking political exile in England until 1978, and subsequently relocating to the United States, where he painted and sculpted until his passing in 1991. The spectral echoes of his life find resonance in his daughter’s narrative within Ramadan Suleman and Bhekizizwe Peterson's film ʻZwelidumile’. This article argues that we must situate this documentary in context by examining the emotional toll and narrative accounts of the longer history of displacement brought about by colonialism and apartheid. The analysis begins by listening to the haunting signs within the documentary, revealing three moving themes. The first theme peels back the layers of secrecy, spotlighting the revelation of Marriam’s biological father – drawing attention to the spectral and melancholic imbrication. The narrative then explores Feni’s life in exile, examining his deliberate silence on familial matters in South Africa. The last of the three themes looks into Marriam’s acknowledged but bewildering loss, exploring its implications for a sense of self and continuity. Zwelidumile exemplifies Bhekizizwe Peterson’s steadfast commitment to shedding light on the complex nuances of the black experience and emphasising narrative’s vital role as an essential component of what makes us human.
Accounting for ourselves and others: Living psychosocial hauntologies
Authors: Phoenix Ann
Published: July 2024

Bhekizizwe Peterson’s interdisciplinarity was wide ranging and displayed his easy familiarity with the Arts, Social Sciences and Philosophy. The breadth of his interests and oeuvre make him genuinely psychosocial, interested, for example, in psychoanalytic issues of mourning and melancholia and bringing this together with deep understandings of narratives and the ways in which the archive demonstrates that assumptions of intergenerational ruptures are overblown since, for example, mourning, melancholia and the rewriting of the archive was a feature of pre-1994 Black South Africa so that pre-1994 has left a wake in the present and for the future. This article takes up Bhekizizwe’s focus on haunting byconsidering how people position themselves in psychosocial, intersectional histories. provoked by everyday subjection to racism. It analyses ‘found narratives’, traces of particular people and/or groups, captured in, for example, filmed documentaries or social media as well as media interviews. It argues that their accounts of everyday subjection to racism are linked to psychosocial, intersectional histories in ways that demonstrate the importance of recognising that unacknowledged histories of racism haunt the present, reproducing the dehumanizing of groups subjected to racism and potentially spurring those affected to consciousness and calls for political action.
Decolonising the Humanities: Reimagining Black Intellectual Life and Personhood in Southern African Contexts
Authors: Sandwith Corinne
Published: July 2024

This review article explores possibilities for transdisciplinary entanglements between the disciplines of critical psychology and literary criticism through a reading of the volume, ʻFoundational African Writers’, edited by Bhekizizwe Peterson, Khwezi Mkhize and Makhosazana Xaba. In this article, ‘Foundational African Writers’ is approached as a distillation of Peterson’s investment in excavating the world-making activities, writing lives and activities of ordinary people as a central dimension of the project to decolonise the Humanities. As this edited volume attests, Peterson’s creative and critical oeuvre continues to provoke thinking about the ways in which the reading of the African literary archive can assist in the wider project of decolonising and re-imagining intellectual and creative history in the Global South while also providing opportunities for new modes of thinking about personhood and psychic life in contexts of precarity, intergenerational trauma and economic exclusion.

Published: July 2024

Over the last few years, the financial performance of district/city governments in Jambi province has decreased. This condition can be seen from the regional financial independence which is still very low. Therefore, this research aims to analyze more deeply the influence of local revenue, balancing funds, and fiscal stress on regional government financial performance, both direct and indirect influences through capital expenditure. This research is quantitative descriptive. The research was conducted in all districts/cities in Jambi province and used secondary data. Data was obtained through the BPK-RI Jambi Province Representative page in the form of audited regional government financial reports with an observation period from 2017-2022. The data analysis method uses the path analysis method. The study's findings demonstrate that original revenue that is largely generated locally and balancing funds have a major and favorable impact on capital spending. Capital spending is not significantly impacted by fiscal stress. The financial performance of local governments is not significantly impacted by local revenue or fiscal strain. The financial performance of local governments is significantly and negatively impacted by partly balancing funds. The financial performance of local governments is positively and significantly impacted by capital expenditures. Additionally, it was shown that capital spending might moderate the impact of balancing budgets on the financial performance of local governments. But, capital spending does not mitigate the impact of local revenue and fiscal strain on the financial performance of local governments. This research has implications for formulating policies to increase local original income, determining the allocation of capital expenditure and improving the financial performance of regional governments in districts/cities in Jambi province.
