De la Problématique de la rémunération des agents par les entreprises chinoises implantées en RDC
Authors: Angelo Mfungi Munganga Anatole
Published: October 2024

La problématique de la rémunération des agents par les entreprises chinoises n’a pas que fait couler beaucoup d’encre et de salive dans le continent africain, en général; la République Démocratique du Congo, en particulier, en a aussi payé les frais. En effet, les investissements chinois, qui sont devenus depuis une certaine année importants dans le continent, se révèlent être une aubaine pour les Etats Africains dans la création de nouveaux emplois pour leurs populations. Cependant, les entrepreneurs chinois, surtout ceux du secteur minier, se sont illustrés par une politique salariale, qui rémunère moins bien leurs agents et n’intègre pas tous les éléments de la rémunération, tels qu’édictés par les normes de l’Organisation Internationale du Travail (OIT) et par la Loi n°015/2002 du 16 octobre 2002 portant Code du Travail telle que modifiée et complétée à ces jours par la Loi n° 16/010 du 15 juillet 2016 de la RDC. Cet article retrace les grandes lignes de la problématique ainsi soulevée après un constat fait en Afrique, en général et en RDC, particulièrement; en détermine les causes avant d’en proposer quelques pistes de solutions.
Étude analytique des investissements miniers chinois et la politique d’emploi : cadre juridique et réalités
Authors: Robert Nkumisongo
Published: October 2024

Les investissements étrangers sont considérés comme une valeur ajoutée qui peut répondre aux besoins d’une population ou devant absolument contribuer au développement économique d’un pays dans le respect des normes établies. Cette recherche sur les investissements miniers chinois a mis un accent particulier sur la politique de l’emploi en RDC (la hauteur de la rémunération des travailleurs; les mesures de sécurité dans les mines notamment casques, gants, tenues de travail, chaussures de protection, lunettes de sécurité, etc.; le respect des droits humains, des lois et règlementations du pays; le rôle des services publics de l’État dont l’Inspection du travail et la CNSS). Cette étude qui vise la protection du salarié entant que bénéficiaire de ces investissements miniers chinois à travers le respect d’une bonne politique de l’emploi, s’est basée plus sur les données des quelques ONG et les informations recueillies en anonymat sur terrain. Au regard des déviations constatées, cette étude prône le respect de la législation congolaise en matière de l’emploi afin que ces investissements soient bénéfiques au salarié congolais et ce pour promouvoir l’effectivité de l’état de droit en RDC.
Literary Chains Frozen in Tile? Proposed Literary Connections between Salmān Sāvajī and Aḥmedī as Observed in the Persian Epigraphic Programme of the Green Zāviye in Bursa (821–827/1419–1424)
Authors: Poier Veronika
Published: October 2024

The layers of Arabic and Persian epigraphy in the Green Complex (821–827/1419–1424) in the Western Anatolian town of Bursa, built for Meḥmed I (r. 816–824/1413–1421), are indicative of the literary horizon at this time. I argue that the extensive epigraphic programme is a contemporary source frozen in ‘tile’ and time, connecting the buildings to the concurrent developments in Anatolian literature. For the first time, I discuss the appearance of Persian poetry by the Jalāyirid court poet Salmān Sāvajī (d. 777/1376) on early Ottoman architecture, which ties in with the contemporary works of Tāceddīn Aḥmedī (734–815/1334–1413), poet laureate of Meḥmed I (r. 816–824/1413–1421). The preserved texts in the Green Complex allow us to obtain a new perspective on the transregional connections between the post-Mongol Turkmen world and the Ottoman sphere of influence.

Published: October 2024

The Baptists are a global free church denomination whose theology developed out of the Reformation and has its own distinctive features. Similarities and differences with other strands of Protestant theology are readily apparent, especially regarding Baptism and Lord' Supper (Eucharist). The author discusses not only the theology of the German-speaking Baptists, but also that of the English-speaking Baptist theologians. The book contains self-critical reflection and further development of theological positions. It also includes several studies on Baptist involvement in ecumenical dialogues. It is relevant to members of free churches as well as to theologians from other churches who are interested in confessional and ecumenical studies.
Ein Spiegel des Lebens
Authors: Lerch Karl-Heinz
Published: October 2024

Many people long for a genuine, authentic spirituality in which they can find themselves with their lives and which can offer them a different perspective on life. The Psalms are »a mirror of life« in which we can recognize all existential situations and the entirety of life in its beauty, but also in its vulnerability and mortality. At the same time we are placed in the horizon of the reality and presence of God. This can open up a new perspective on life, on ourselves and on the world, granting us gratitude, consolation, confidence and hope. The presented meditations do not aim to instruct the Psalms and their theology, but rather to allow the readers to experience their spiritual power and efficacy in a realistic and meaningful way.

Gemeinsam den Schulhof gestalten
Authors: Stadelmann Thomas
Published: October 2024

Der Schulhof ist Teil des Lebens- und Erfahrungsraums aller Schüler*innen. Deshalb muss die Gestaltung in die pädagogische Planung einbezogen werden. Denn der Ort ist mitentscheidend für ein gutes soziales Miteinander, das Lernen und die allgemeine Atmosphäre einer Schule. So ein Schulhof muss mehr sein als ein asphaltierter Platz mit ein paar Spielgeräten. Er sollte immer naturnaher Lernort sein, den Kinder maßgeblich mitgestalten dürfen. Wie das gelingt, zeigt das Buch u.a. anhand vieler Informationen, inspierierender Beispiele und anregender Bilder.
Antifungal Resistance in Candida albicans
Authors: Seyedjavadi Simasadat , Hatami Farahnaz , Jahanshiri Zahra
Published: October 2024

Candidiasis can present as an infection in the skin, mucous membranes, or deep-seated organs, caused by various types of Candida spp. C. albicans is one of the most prevalent Candida spp. causing diseases. These yeasts typically inhabit the normal human microbiota. High-risk individuals include those with cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and organ transplants. Due to the similarity between fungi and their human hosts as eukaryotes, the potential molecular targets for developing antifungal treatments are limited. This poses a significant health concern as drug resistance becomes increasingly prevalent. Currently, only four main classes of approved antifungal agents are used for treating invasive fungal infections: azoles, echinocandins, polyenes, and 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC). These antifungals inhibit different biosynthetic pathways in various pathogenic fungi. For instance, echinocandins focus on cell wall biosynthesis, while azoles, together with allylamines, inhibit ergosterol biosynthesis, and 5-flucytosine (5-FC) targets DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis. Azole antifungal agents are widely used as therapeutic options for the treatment of fungal infections, but their fungistatic nature leads to the evolution of C. albicans resistance to azole. In addition to azoles, C. albicans also develop resistance to polyenes, echinocandins, and 5-FC. This chapter provides a detailed discussion on the mechanisms of action and mechanisms involved in Candida albicans antifungal drug resistance.

Published: October 2024

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the resistance of microorganisms to common treatments, among which Candida albicans (C. albicans) is no exception. Due to the eukaryotic nature of fungi, antifungal drugs have less variety than antibiotics. Additionally, the formation of biofilm by fungi serves as a physical barrier, reducing the effectiveness of antifungal drugs. Consequently, several studies are currently underway to explore new treatments to prevent C. albicans infection. Nanotechnology in medicine has rapidly advanced in recent years, demonstrating satisfactory results in various fields. Nanomaterials can function as antifungal drugs and act as carriers and protectors of antifungal agents. These unique properties of nanomaterials position them as promising treatments for eliminating infections caused by C. albicans. In the following sections, we will discuss some recent developments in utilizing nanomaterials for the treatment of C. albicans infections.

Authors: Derbew Molla Yohannis , Tesfahun Alemu Hirut
Published: October 2024

The field of intestinal parasite diagnosis has experienced significant advancements in recent years, propelled by technological innovations and the pursuit of more precise and effective diagnostic methods. A notable development in this area is the widespread adoption of molecular diagnostic techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction and loop-mediated isothermal amplification. These cutting-edge methods provide improved sensitivity and specificity compared to traditional microscopy-based approaches, enabling the detection of intestinal parasites even at low concentrations and in complex clinical samples. Additionally, the creation of multiplex polymerase chain reaction assays allows for the simultaneous identification of multiple parasite species in a single test, streamlining the diagnostic process and reducing turnaround time. Furthermore, the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms into diagnostic platforms shows great potential for enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of parasite detection. In conclusion, these recent advancements present unparalleled opportunities to enhance the precision, speed, and accessibility of parasite diagnosis, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes and more effective public health interventions in endemic regions.
Endophytic Microorganisms: Harnessing Biological Control for Biotic and Abiotic Stress Management in Plants
Authors: Aghaei Dargiri Soheila , Naeimi Shahram , Khayam Nekouei Mojtaba
Published: October 2024

Strengthening agriculture is crucial for ensuring food security for the world’s expanding population. Endophytes, microorganisms that live within plant tissues without harming the host, can colonize these tissues. They promote plant growth, serve as biocontrol agents, and naturally shield the host from a variety of biotic and abiotic challenges. Each year, the emergence of numerous stresses in crops leads to a decrease in yield, resulting in significant losses. To mitigate these losses and manage plant pests and diseases, various effective strategies should be employed. Endophytes, being environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and cost-effective, could serve as an alternative for farmers aiming for sustainable agriculture. This chapter will discuss the biochemical, molecular, and genetic mechanisms of endophytes in enhancing stress tolerance in different crops and their role as biological control agents. Furthermore, endophytes and their metabolites should be explored as potential beneficial agents in the biological control of plant pests and diseases, extending the investigation up to the multi-omics level.
Soil Biogeochemical Factors Influencing Mobilization of Toxic Elements in Mine-Contaminated Soils and Remediation Potential of Plants
Authors: Kobina Mensah Albert , Amoakwah Emmanuel
Published: October 2024

This study provides a current review on the impact and presence of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the environment as they pertain to mining operations. Emphasis is placed on the significance of implementing strategies to mitigate PTE contamination to safeguard the health of humans, plants, and animals. The significance of soil biogeochemical or governing factors that affect the mobilization of potentially toxic elements in mine-contaminated soils is examined in this study. Furthermore, these parameters assist the researcher or scientist in determining which remediation and mitigation strategies are most suitable for the contaminated site. The paper explains how soil pH impacts the toxicity and behavior of metal and nonmetal species. It describes how the mobility of cationic trace elements is enhanced at lower pH levels, whereas the mobility of anionic species is increased at higher pH levels. Additionally, the significance of soil redox chemistry in relation to the mobility and solubility of trace elements, specifically in the presence of inundation, is thoroughly elaborated in this review. Furthermore, this study presents the impact of redox conditions on the fare of transport of PTEs in flooded soils and aquatic environments. Ultimately, we argue compelling justifications for eco-friendly alternatives, revegetation, phyto-cleaning of PTEs, and restoration of contaminated mine sites.
Probiotic Applications of Bacillus subtilis
Authors: Mohamadzadeh Mohamadsadegh , Abbaspour Sakineh
Published: October 2024

Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms that confer health advantages to their hosts. Some probiotics exhibit limitations, including susceptibility to temperature fluctuations, gastric acidity, and harsh conditions. This has led to exploring probiotics with higher intrinsic resistance and stability in harsh conditions. Bacillus subtilis has received attention due to its inherent probiotic properties, high resistance to harsh conditions, and ability to form spores. Significant progress has been made in understanding the probiotic potential of B. subtilis, uncovering various mechanisms of action. On the other hand, postbiotics secreted by B. subtilis have become an attractive field of interest for scientists. Numerous studies have validated the efficacy of B. subtilis as a dietary supplement for poultry and aquaculture. Furthermore, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recognized B. subtilis as safe. These advantageous properties position B. subtilis as a highly promising probiotic for various applications.
Corruption in Public Finance and Open Government in Mexico
Authors: Porras Rivera Raúl , Astudillo Moya Marcela
Published: October 2024

In Mexico, one of the main concerns of citizens is corruption. This is a major problem given the scarcity of public resources and the lack of resources to finance the budget. The objective of this chapter is to determine whether open government has addressed budget transparency, accountability, and citizen participation. To this end, due to the lack of previous research, this work is exploratory and documentary in nature. Data were obtained from the official websites of the institutions in charge of fiscal policy in Mexico. It was found that although important steps have been taken in terms of the digitalization of government and achievements are reported regarding the openness of government, so far, there has not been an effective fight against the problem of corruption, and the indices of perception of corruption have not been sufficiently reduced. Citizen participation, which is the other necessary element for open government to contribute to the functioning of democracy, has yet to be promoted.
Electrochemical Methods in Plant Nutritional Physiology: Ionometry and Conductometry
Authors: Kurovsky Alexander , Khan Imran , Gummer Yana
Published: October 2024

This chapter presents an overview of the fundamental principles of the electrochemical approach to the study of plant mineral nutrition. This is particularly crucial for investigating the kinetics of macronutrient ion absorption by plant roots, alterations in leaf mineral nutrition status due to external and internal factors, and other related processes. The two principal methodological approaches to electrometry, as outlined in the section, are conductometry (the measurement of electrical conductivity in water solutions and tissue extracts) and ionometry (the determination of ions by means of ion-selective electrodes in a range of media). Each of these methodological approaches has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, as well as unique opportunities for research into the mineral nutrition of plants; however, they also present a number of inherent limitations. A solid understanding of the fundamentals of electrometry can serve as a valuable asset for researchers engaged in studies related to the mineral nutrition of plants.

The Effect of Learning Environment on Students' Motivation in Learning
Authors: Firman Edi , S K. Dedy Sandiarsa
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the relationship between the learning environment and students' motivation through qualitative analysis of interviews and focus groups. Key themes emerged highlighting the influence of various environmental aspects on motivation. Participants emphasized the importance of supportive teacher relationships, noting that teachers who demonstrate genuine interest and provide constructive feedback foster higher motivation levels. A positive classroom climate characterized by respect, collaboration, and inclusivity was also identified as crucial for engagement. Peer interactions, particularly through collaborative learning experiences, enhanced motivation by creating a sense of belonging and accountability. Additionally, access to diverse resources and learning tools was vital for maintaining motivation, with students expressing a desire for engaging materials. The physical characteristics of learning spaces, such as seating arrangements and lighting, significantly impacted motivation, with flexible and organized environments contributing to comfort and engagement. While many students appreciated technology's role in facilitating interactive learning, concerns about distractions underscored the need for balanced integration. Overall, the findings align with existing literature, offering new insights into factors influencing motivation across educational levels. The study underscores the necessity for educators to foster supportive relationships, promote a positive classroom climate, provide diverse resources, and thoughtfully integrate technology, ultimately enhancing student engagement and success. Future research should further explore these dynamics, particularly in the context of evolving educational practices and technological advancements.

An unusual new ophiuroid (Echinodermata) from the Late Ordovician (early Katian) of Morocco
Authors: GLASS Alexander , BLAKE Daniel B. , LEFEBVRE Bertrand
Published: October 2024

A distinctive new genus and species of the subphylum Asterozoa, Componaster spurius n. gen., n. sp., is described from the Late Ordovician (early Katian) of Morocco. Construction of the ambulacral column is considered key to delineation of classes of the subphylum Asterozoa: morphology and configuration of the mouth frame, axial (ambulacral series), and adaxial (lateral series) enable class-level assignment of C. spurius n. gen., n. sp. to the Ophiuroidea Gray, 1840. However, overall form and aspects of extraxial skeletal expression from beyond the ambulacral column are strongly reminiscent of expressions of the Asteroidea de Blainville, 1830. The character complex of C. spurius n. gen., n. sp. precludes its alignment with any available ophiuran ordinal concept, and available data do not justify proposal of new ordinal terminology: the species is left incertae sedis at the ordinal level but a new familial taxon, Componasteridae n. fam., is recognized. Although Late Ordovician, the complex morphology of Componaster spurius n. gen., n. sp. suggests either plesiomorphic expressions from asterozoan diversification surviving until the Katian or significant homoplasy during early ­asterozoan history.

Published: October 2024

Künstliche Intelligenz der generativen Art wird immer mehr zur Verbreitung politischer Inhalte eingesetzt – auch in rechtsalternativen Kontexten. Dank frei zugänglicher Bildgeneratoren schwemmen Motive mit Schwarz-Weiß-Rot-Romantik, bösartige Deepfakes vom Bundeskanzler und visualisierte Abschiebefantasien den digitalen Bildermarkt. Dieser Eindruck kann zumindest entstehen, wenn Berichten über eine KI-Revolution im Politischen geglaubt werden darf. Empirisch deckt sich diese Einschätzung allerdings weniger – zumindest nicht auf der in den Kreisen beliebten Plattform Telegram. Nicht einmal jedes 20. Bild basiert auf generativer KI. Auch zeigt unsere Studie einen differenzierten Gebrauch solcher Bilder. Allein eine Täuschungsabsicht zu unterstellen, greift hierbei zu kurz.

Bay leaves (Syzygium polyanthum) and a second wood (Caesalpinia sappan L) are widely known to the public as natural antiseptics for prevention and treatment, including treating digesting diseases, one of which is diarrhea caused by Escherichia coli. Bay leaves and Secang wood can be used as antiseptics because they contain the active substance tannin. This research aims to determine the difference in the antibacterial effectiveness of 96% ethanol extract of bay leaves (Syzygium polyanthum) and 96% ethanol extract of second wood (Caesalpinia sappan L) on growth Escherichia coli bacteria. The type of research is experimental. The method used in this research is the Kirby-Bauer diffusion method. This method observes the clear zone produced from a blank disk that has been treated with bay leaf extract and second wood extract at a concentration of 30%, 60%, and 90% for incubation at 37?C for 24 hours. From the research results, it can be concluded that the ethanol extract of bay leaves with a concentration of 30%, 60%, and 90% with an inhibition zone diameter of 0 mm, 7,6 mm, and 9,6 mm. The second wood at a concentration of 30%, 60%, and 90% with an inhibition zone diameter of 10 mm, 11,3 mm, and 14 mm. The statistical test shows that the data is normally distributed with a parametric test ANOVA, p =0,00, which means that there is no significant difference in the diameter of the inhibition zone between the ethanol extract of bay leaves and the ethanol extract of second wood.
Breast Cancer Survivorship

Published: October 2024

Breast cancer remains the most common type of cancer among Canadian women, with 28,900 new cases in 2022 alone. Improved detection through screening mammography and advances in multi-modality therapy account for the decline in breast cancer mortality seen in Canada since the 1980s. As 5-year survival rates reach 89%, the number of breast cancer survivors is rising.
The concept of cancer survivorship has existed for decades, as has the appreciation that it is a complex domain of cancer care that begins at the time of diagnosis. Even within the group of patients with breast cancer, survivorship experiences and care needs are diverse, reflecting variability in tumour clinicopathologic characteristics, treatment plans, and prognosis. Evidence-based tools and guidelines suggest the assessment and management of cancer survivor’s physical, psychological, social, financial, and employment well-being. There is a need to clinically monitor for breast cancer recurrence and the development of secondary malignancies through screening. Survivorship also warrants attention to health promotion, including weight management, nutrition, physical activity, preventive health, and cessation of alcohol and cigarettes. The provision of survivorship care is the responsibility of all healthcare professionals, which requires close coordination between primary care and specialized cancer centres.
In this article, we focus on the physical and psychosocial long-term and late effects faced by survivors of early-stage breast cancer. Many adjuvant therapies for breast cancer are associated with toxicities that negatively impact quality of life (QoL) and adherence. Nonadherence is important to address because it compromises breast cancer outcomes.

Apesar dos esforços do Governo de Moçambique na melhoria da produtividade agrária, o nível de aplicação de tecnologias melhoradas pelos produtores é muito baixa e são escassos os estudos que avaliam os fatores que influenciam a fraca utilização das tecnologias. Com base nos dados do Inquérito Agrário Integrado (IAI2020), foi usada a regressão logística binária para avaliar os fatores que determinam a aplicação dos conhecimentos transmitidos pelos serviços de extensão rural. Os principais resultados mostram que os produtores que têm acesso aos serviços de extensão rural aplicam as tecnologias melhoradas. Igualmente, o estudo mostra que os fatores socioeconômicos, institucionais e fatores ligados à área de produção estão associados à aplicação dos conhecimentos transmitidos pela extensão rural, nomeadamente: sexo, idade, escolaridade, formação em agropecuária, realização de trabalho remunerado e/ou trabalho por conta própria, associativismo, acesso ao crédito e tamanho da área de produção agrária.

This research aims to analyze the influence of environmental performance and company size on financial performance in consumer goods sub-sector companies listed on the IDX for 2018-2022. The research sample consisted of 24 companies with a total of 120 observations. The analysis method uses panel data regression. The findings of the study show that partially environmental performance has a significant positive influence on financial performance, while the size of the company does not have a significant effect. Simultaneously, environmental performance and company size significantly influence financial performance with the ability to explain variations in financial performance by 7%. The study concluded that companies with good environmental performance tended to have better financial performance, while company size was not the main factor affecting financial performance. This study advises management to pay attention to environmental factors in financial performance policies and investors to consider environmental performance in investment decisions.
Improvement of Mro Material Procurement Efficiency Through the Six Sigma Concept at PT Krakatau Steel (Persero) TBK
Authors: Wijanarko Wahyu
Published: October 2024

PT Krakatau Steel (Persero) Tbk (PTKS) is a State-Owned Enterprise engaged in the production of steel and related services. The MRO Procurement Department is a procurement function to process MRO Material purchasing at PTKS. The main problem currently faced is the lead time for the MRO material procurement process which takes a long time, the reason is that procurement is often conducted by spot method and repeatedly for the same material. Too long lead times pose a risk to the smooth production process due to the unavailability of MRO materials when needed. Referring to the MRO Procurement Department's KPI, >85% of the number of POs (Purchase Orders) issued must have a lead time of <41 days, however, based on the actual historical data for 2022, the PO lead time achievement for the MRO material procurement process does not meet the target. Department's KPI, >85% of the number of PO’s (Purchase Orders) issued must have a lead time of <41 days, however, based on the actual historical data for 2022, the PO lead time achievement for the MRO material procurement process does not reach the target. An alternative solution used to speed up procurement lead times is implementing a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) and/or Consignment Contract for MRO routine/consumable material types. The results obtained are that the long and complicated MRO material procurement process for the same type of material can be eliminated, which means that with the improvements made, the MRO Procurement Department can implement a more efficient procurement process.
Institutionalising inclusion

Published: October 2024

Inclusion within the electoral process is crucial for democratic societies, ensuring all citizens can participate regardless of background. The study explores how institutional frameworks, particularly electoral management bodies like the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC), facilitate or hinder inclusivity through their operational mandates. Drawing on data from Election Observation Missions and other sources, this analysis evaluates the ZEC's performance in candidate inclusion, accessibility of polling stations, voter education initiatives, and representation of marginalised groups such as women and youth. Key findings reveal that while ZEC implemented measures to enhance inclusion, challenges persisted, such as accessibility issues for voters with disabilities and uneven voter education coverage. Through a historical backdrop and contextual framework, this paper delves into the role of electoral institutions in promoting democratic processes and enhancing inclusion. The findings underscore both achievements and challenges encountered by the ZEC, suggesting areas for future improvement and policy refinement to strengthen electoral inclusivity through institutional means. The study concludes by recommending enhanced financial and legislative support for ZEC to bolster its operational capacity and collaboration with other institutions. Addressing these recommendations could mitigate common electoral challenges and further embed inclusive practices within Zimbabwe's electoral framework.
