This study aimed to elucidate whether the skillsets possessed by university graduates align with the expectations of employers. A sample of 300 individuals, comprising directors and senior-level managers from various enterprises and organizations, actively participated in our comprehensive survey. To ensure a representative sample, we categorized survey participants into five intervals based on their enterprise's workforce size. Our questionnaire design prioritized ease of completion and utilized a multidimensional evaluation approach.
The skills of university graduates underwent evaluation through 15 indicators encompassing common competencies and essential abilities for productive employment. Subsequently, the assessment results were grouped into five intervals. We employed statistical software for data analysis and applied the weighted average method to evaluate the outcomes.
Our research focused on discerning the desired skill levels sought by employers versus the current proficiency levels of university graduates. In our findings, it became evident that there exists a general skill deficit among university graduates. Specifically, in areas such as foreign language proficiency (2.43) and creative thinking (2.88), graduates demonstrated inadequacies. However, their competencies in other areas ranged from average to commendable, with scores ranging from 3.16 to 3.97.
Consequently, to bridge this gap and align university graduate skills with employer expectations, we propose the establishment of a legal framework and economic incentives to facilitate employer involvement in shaping training programs and evaluating training quality. Collaboration initiatives between educational institutions and employers must also be prioritized. In conclusion, it is imperative to foster a more robust partnership between educational institutions and employers to enhance the relevance of university curricula and ensure that graduates are well-prepared for the demands of the job market.

فن العمارة الصحراوية في أدب الرحلات بين العمومية والدقة: دراسة سيميائية
Authors: البوعبدلاوي ابراهيم
Published: June 2024

نروم في هذه الدراسة بناء تصور عن فنّ العمارة الصحراوية في الرحلات التي جعلت من الصحراء محطة من محطاتها المتعددة. وسنعتمد في ذلك نوعين من الرحلات؛ الأول يتمثّل في الرحلات التي جعلت من العمارة فنّا عابرا، ولم تتحدث عنه بشكل مسهب، منتقين في ذلك ثلاث رحلات. والثاني يتمثل في الرحلات التي أعطت لهذا الفنّ موقعا متميزا في حديثها وعرّفت القارئ به تعريفا دقيقا. وقد انتقينا، في سبيل ذلك، نموذجين هما رحلة شارل دوفوكو، ورحلة مارك دومازيير وجوزيف كولفان.
إن القصدية الأولى من هذا البحث تتجلى في الكشف عن أشكال تناول فنّ العمارة الصحراوية في أدب الرحلات؛ من خلال التنقل بين رحلات مختلفة كان المجال الصحراوي واحدا من المجالات التي كشفت جوانب منها، معتمدين في ذلك منهجا سيميائيا، زاجنا في استثماره بين الوصف، من خلال ذكر الخصائص الفنية الظاهرة، ثم الانتقال إلى التحليل، عبر استثمار العدّة المعرفية التي تجود بها علينا السيميائيات التأويلية وكذا النصوص الرحلية والتاريخية والأنثربولوجية...
وقد توصلنا من البحث إلى نتائج مهمة من بينها أن فن العمارة ليس فنا عابرا ضمن أدب الرحلات، وإنما هو فنّ مركزي، إذ يعسر على الرحالة ذكر جوانب من حياة القوم دون ذكر فنهم المعماري وأشكال مبانيهم. ثم إن فنّ العمارة فنّ يمكن من خلاله معرفة عدد من الجوانب المهمّة من قبيل السياسة والنظم الاجتماعية المؤطرة لجماعة ما، وذاك ما ظهر من خلال دراسة رحلات كان الفضاء الصحراوي إحدى وجهاتها.

وقد توصلت الدراسة إلى نتائج، منها: تمتاز لغة الكانمبو بأنماط وأساليب تتميز بها عن غيرها، وتتميز أساليبها عمومًا باستخدام عبارات وتعبيرات ونغمات معينة في لغة الكانمبو، ولها مستويات ولهجات تتنوع بحسب جغرافية متكلميها ما بين إقليم كانم وإقليم البحيرة وشمال نيجيريا وشرق النيجر، وأن في لغة الكانمبو نبرات وإيقاعات صوتية تؤدي مهمة في فهم معاني الجمل.
Climate Change and Child Marriage: Evidence from Bangladesh
Authors: Ainul Sigma , Saha Jyotirmoy , Hossain Md Irfan , Amin Sajeda
Published: June 2024

This paper examines the effects of environmental vulnerability on the risk of child marriage in Bangladesh. Community vulnerability measures are constructed for 240 rural communities in eight districts according to the presence of three indicators of environmental vulnerability—history of cyclones, flooding, and waterlogging. Community data are linked to individual-level adolescent survey data from a representative sample of 15,000 adolescent girls in those communities. Types of environmental vulnerability and the effect on adolescent girls’ marriage outcomes have been explored using discrete time survival analysis. Results show that coastal communities with prolonged waterlogging and salinity have significantly higher child marriage rates, and there is no evidence of higher risks of child marriage in flood-affected areas. The paper concludes that slow and rapid onset events vary in their impact on child marriage. It is important to distinguish between rapid onset factors, such as floods and cyclones, and slow and less dramatically visible factors, such as waterlogging, that affect marriage through longer-term impacts on lives and livelihoods. Programs need to cast a wider net to safeguard girls living in the communities not only where immediate and sudden environmental emergencies have occurred but also in the areas where climate-induced disasters may not seem very visible but have slow, cascading effects and pose a risk for child marriage.

Authors: Yusuf Abubakar , Danmashi Ibrahim Sani
Published: June 2024

The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play important role on employment creation, manpower and skills development, industrial development, poverty reduction and economic growth and thereby recognized as engine for socio-economic transformation in both developing and emerging economies of Africa and Asia respectively. However, these enterprises are facing pyramid of problems, several among them though not exhaustive include: inadequate capital, managerial inefficiency and inaccessible credit facilities from formal financial institution. The problems of inadequate capital and inaccessible credit facilities from the conventional banking sector are the most critical. The MSMEs are lacking access to institutional credit at both commercial and development financial institutions; considered high credit risks by the financial institutions. Conventional banks are also characterized with the receipt and payment of interest; associated with non-Shari’ah compliant financial products. Hence, the need for ethical banking system; considered competitive and alternative to conventional banking products, more responsive to the environment of the study (Katsina state), which is referred to Islamic banking. This paper is motivated to discuss the Islamic banking products and their efficacy towards attainment of sustainable financing of MSMSEs in Nigeria, Katsina state. The tools of the research are basically analysis on the subject matter of the study with a collection from secondary data. Furthermore, the research paper is relevant to Islamic (commercial and micro finance banks, saving and credit multipurpose cooperative societies) financial institutions. The knowledge, skill and abilities of the management and staff of those institution as well as other stakeholders will be enhanced. It is also serve as a good reference for academics and therefore, advancing the frontier of knowledge in the field of study.

Pipelining Semantic Expansion and Noise Filtering for Sentiment Analysis of Short Documents – CluSent Method
Authors: Viegas Felipe , Canuto Sergio , Cunha Washington , França Celso , Valiense Claudio , Fonseca Guilherme , Machado Ana , Rocha Leonardo , Gonçalves Marcos André
Published: June 2024

The challenge of constructing effective sentiment models is exacerbated by a lack of sufficient information, particularly in short texts. Enhancing short texts with semantic relationships becomes crucial for capturing affective nuances and improving model efficacy, albeit with the potential drawback of introducing noise. This article introduces a novel approach, CluSent, designed for customized dataset-oriented sentiment analysis. CluSent capitalizes on the CluWords concept, a proposed powerful representation of semantically related words. To address the issues of information scarcity and noise, CluSent addresses these challenges: (i) leveraging the semantic neighborhood of pre-trained word embedding representations to enrich document representation and (ii) introducing dataset-specific filtering and weighting mechanisms to manage noise. These mechanisms utilize part-of-speech and polarity/intensity information from lexicons. In an extensive experimental evaluation spanning 19 datasets and five state-of-the-art baselines, including modern transformer architectures, CluSent emerged as the superior method in the majority of scenarios (28 out of 38 possibilities), demonstrating noteworthy performance gains of up to 14% over the strongest baselines.
Bloody Christmas Eve in Ochotnica Dolna. Remembrance Practices of the Pacification of Ochotnica Dolna, Poland, on 23 December 1944 from an Anthropological Perspective
Authors: Kajder Kaja
Published: June 2024

This paper concerns the contemporary practices held in the village of Ochotnica Dolna, Poland, to commemorate the pacification that took place on 23 December 1944. Both the accounts provided by the residents of the village and their practices of sharing the memory of the pacification with the next generation show the strong presence of contemporary imaginings of the Second World War. An interpretation of these imaginings from the perspective of memory studies and anthropology indicates the influence of images related to this dramatic event. The emotional load of some of these accounts and their threads lends itself to sharing and copying. The fluent boundaries between the witness accounts, historical and amateur analyses and the places of memory in Ochotnica Dolna create a complex and multithreaded set of imaginings of the past. At the same time, this difficult memory of the pacification is part of the village residents’ identity, as well as being part of the local concept of the “Little Motherland.”
The Myth of the Rainbow Serpent “Myth”
Authors: † Robert Blust
Published: June 2024

From the time that A. R. Radcliffe-Brown provided the first detailed description in 1926, the Rainbow Serpent culture complex has been regarded, either explicitly or implicitly, as the exclusive domain of Aboriginal Australia. An extensive survey of the ethnology of the rainbow fails to support this view, since elements of the same belief system appear in animistic societies around the world. These typically represent the rainbow as an enormous spirit snake that guards springs and other water sources when not in the sky and is particularly offended by the approach of menstruating women, while in other cultures rainbow and serpent have been decoupled, but both retain clear signals that they descend from a coherent and presumably ancient Rainbow Serpent culture complex. In those parts of the world where agriculture first took hold, leading to urbanization, literacy, and the abandonment of an animistic worldview, the serpent survived as an independent entity that we know as the dragon.
Time to Sing. Musical Practices and Perception of Time in Eastern Indonesia (Lamaholot, Flores Island)
Authors: Rappoport Dana
Published: June 2024

If it goes without saying that music is an art of time, we rarely question the way in which music participates in the perception of time. In the Tanjung Bunga peninsula (island of Flores, Indonesia), populated by ten thousand farmers, agrarian work constitutes one of the privileged moments of vocal practices. Two types of music repertoires punctuate the rituals related to rice cultivation: narrative and non-narrative. These two types refer to various temporalities: the ancient time, the annual time, the diurnal time. This differentiated marking of time by music produces a variety of affects and representations, awakening the memory of a past time, vague and distant, punctuating the seasons of the cyclical calendar, and finally, in periods of collective activity, “sounding” different moments of the daily routine, from dawn to dusk – the practice of singing thus building three types of temporality.

Although legal document generators have existed for some time, they are currently not specifically regulated by law. Sophia Anna Haak first analyses the current legal framework for legal document generators and identifies the need for legislative action. In doing so, she examines, among other things, the obligation to obtain a licence under the Legal Services Act, the information obligations to be complied with, in particular towards the user, as well as liability issues for those involved in the business model. On the basis of the findings, she then develops her own regulatory proposal for legal document generators, which includes an amendment to the Legal Services Act.
Present State and Perspectives of Type 2 Diabetes Management
Authors: Adegoke Azeez Taoreed
Published: June 2024

Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder characterised by chronic hyperglycaemia that results from a defect in insulin secretion, action, or both. There are different types of diabetes mellitus, but type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common type globally. Type 2 diabetes mellitus results from a complex interaction between predisposing genes and unhealthy lifestyle choices. The risk factors for type 2 diabetes include obesity, prediabetes, sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diets, and hypertension. Poorly controlled diabetes causes microvascular and macrovascular complications. The goals of management are to prevent these complications and optimise quality of life. Fasting plasma glucose, 2-hours post glucose load, random plasma glucose or HbA1c above a certain threshold diagnoses diabetes in the presence or classic symptoms otherwise, the tests are repeated on a second occasion. HbA1c is convenient and reliable but, it is affected by conditions affecting the turnover of red cells. Management of type 2 diabetes is individualised with focus on diabetes education, lifestyle changes, pharmacological therapy, management of co-morbidities, and monitoring of treatment. Various factors determine the drugs used, but metformin remains the cornerstone. Other cardiovascular risk factors must be adequately controlled.

Exploring Sustainable Development Goals in Master’s Degree Programmes: An Emphasis on Public Administration Studies in European Countries
Authors: Cărăuşan Mihaela V.
Published: June 2024

This chapter investigates the link between sustainable development goals (SDGs) and Master of Public Administration (MPA) studies across European countries. Beyond the conventional discourse surrounding master’s degree programmes, our focus extends to the imperative role of MPA education in fostering a comprehensive understanding of SDGs among future top management employees in the public sector. While there is a high emphasis on private sector initiatives and business education’s role in sustainable development, the critical role of public services and the state’s capacity is overlooked. The research question addressed is how to enhance the future state’s capacity to promote SDGs and establish an effective, sustainable administration. Through a comprehensive analysis of the Web of Science Core Collection, we will explore the use of the central term ‘SDG’ and related topics within the papers on the European education field. Additionally, we will examine master’s degree presentations across various universities in the States participating in the Horizon Programme. We mainly focus on understanding the incorporation of SDG-related content in Romanian universities’ diploma supplements. Besides the literature review, we will use content analysis techniques to categorise and evaluate the data gathered from the Web of Science database and master’s degree presentations.
An Application of Particle Filter for Parameter Estimation and Prediction in Geotechnical Engineering
Authors: Murakami Akira , Shuku Takayuki , Fujisawa Kazunori
Published: June 2024

This chapter presents an application example of a nonlinear Kalman Filters (KFs), i.e., Particle Filter (PF), for state (or parameters) estimation and prediction of a dynamical system in geotechnical engineering. First key characteristics of dynamical systems in geotechnics, which need to be considered in filtering, are described by showing some figures, and why PF is necessary for geotechnical applications is explained. Then, a detailed algorithm and implementation of PF for geotechnical problems are presented with key equations. The PF is demonstrated through a case history focusing on deformation behavior of a ground due to embankment construction. The PF is applied to estimation of geotechnical parameters and predictions of future settlement behavior of the ground to discuss the effectiveness of the PF in geotechnical engineering. The results of the case history have shown that PF has presented great promise as an accurate parameter identification for a nonlinear dynamic model. The simulation with the identified parameters predicts the actual measurement data with high accuracy even though a limited amount of measurement data was used in identification stage. The PF provides more information on estimates than optimization methods because the estimates are obtained in the form of probability density functions (PDFs). This characteristic can contribute to risk analysis and reliability-based decision-making in geotechnical practice.

Published: June 2024

Copper, a reddish and ubiquitous material in the world, possesses malleable and conductive properties that render copper and its alloys indispensable in vertical integration manufacturing. With advancements in nanotechnology and nanomaterials in recent decades, copper and its related nanoparticles have been engineered. Their applications include engineering, material science, photo−/electro-catalysis, biomedical drug delivery, agriculture, and antipathogen microbicides. Here, we studied the differing toxicity effects of two sizes of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs), recognized for their potent bactericidal properties. Concentration-dependent effects of both 20 and 60 nm CuNPs were significant in Escherichia coli (E. coli), Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii), and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Sodium dodecyl sulfate, the dispersant of nanoparticles, caused the synergy effects with CuNPs in A. baumannii and S. aureus but not in E. coli. Four modulators were added to CuNP-treated bacteria. By these modulator treatments, programmed cell death was found in E. coli, A. baumannii, and S. aureus. By the BLAST search, caspase-related proteins were commonly identified in gut bacteria and A. baumannii but not in S. aureus. Furthermore, many proteins from E. coli, A. baumannii, and S. aureus were found to harbor the ULK1-catalytic domain. In short, CuNPs can be potent therapeutic agents against bacterial infections.

Human Digital Twins and Machine Learning Applications in Precision Medicine and Surgery: Current State and Future Directions
Authors: Basu Arindam
Published: June 2024

Human digital twins (“HDT”) are one-on-one digital replicas of human beings, organs such as the heart and lungs, or pathophysiological processes such as immune systems, where the digital replicas and the physical counterparts are tethered with each other. Critical to the HDT is a connector (“bridge”) that links the human and digital counterparts. Sensors on human bodies obtain real-time pathophysiological data and pass them through the bridge to the digital twin. The digital twin runs artificial intelligence/machine learning (“AI/ML”) algorithms on this input and the resulting output is passed via the bridge to the connected human being. This combination of a connected human being, a digital counterpart and the bridge is unique to HDTs distinguishing them from simulations, clones, and digital assistants. HDTs are the prime drivers of precision medicine and personalised care. While the most common clinical uses of HDTs are as yet in cardiology and surgery, as this technology will evolve, new uses of HDT will be explored and will bring about a paradigm shift in medical care. In this chapter we have discussed the technology of HDTs, principles, methods of construction, and use of HDTs. We also discuss key limitations and human ethics related to the HDTs.
Perspective Chapter: Exploring Multifaceted Approaches to Enhance Dairy Cow Welfare
Authors: Florin Furnaris Ciprian , Tiberiu Constantin Nicolae
Published: June 2024

This chapter covers welfare issues observed worldwide in dairy cattle farms and outlines as its main objective, welfare indicators, including animal as well as resource-based concerns. Appropriate microclimate conditions and some useful indicators that can be numerically evaluated are highlighted e.g., body hygiene score, gait score, and dairy cow pain scale. As in other species, the ultimate goal of welfare auditing in cows is to use integrative systems or protocols, including those most relevant to the aforementioned indicators, and in particular numerical integrative ones, allowing even for the comparison of different farm conditions or husbandry systems in terms of overall herd welfare. Future challenges for improving cows’ welfare are the expansion of publicly available databases resulting in different in-field assessments worldwide, the widespread use of environmental enrichment and smart farming technologies such as automated monitoring systems and virtual fencing, as well as refining the assessment protocols and using dedicated apps to make implementation faster.
Turk Character in the Legendary Albanian Songs Named the Songs of the Frontier Warriors
Authors: Citaku Muhamed
Published: June 2024

For a long period of time, the Balkan Peninsula had marked the border between the Ottoman and the Austro-Hungarian empires. The existence of the border at this point meant that in the Balkans there was a part of the population that was under Austro-Hungary and was part of it, but there was also a part of the population that was under the Ottoman Empire and that was part of it. As a result, not only do we find the Turk individual as a character being mentioned in most of the cultures co-existing in the Balkan Peninsula at the time but within a very limited environment we find the latter being presented somewhere as a positive character and somewhere as a negative character. The Songs of the Frontier Warriors is a tremendous literary compilation of Albanian epic songs in which is presented the conflict between the Albanians and the Slavic invaders coming from the north of the country. These songs depict the conflicts that had been brought into the forefront of the relations between the two nations at the border, the wars between them, the impris-onment of one another, property appropriations and kidnapping of girls, etc. In a great number of such songs, one comes across the Turk as a character. We have analyzed the Turk as a character as mentioned in twenty-five of such songs and in all of them the Turk is presented as a positive character, who helps locals, defends their lands from foreign invaders, protects the locals as well as their families and properties, etc. While researching the characteristics of this character in such songs, we have come to underline the fact that there are certain aspects and descriptions of his that are clear and some of which are less clear and ambiguous: the Turk on one hand, is clearly depicted as far as his appearance and personality traits are concerned; however, what is deemed as ambiguous in its description is whether by the name Turk such songs had referred to the ethnic Turk or the notion of it belongs to a much broader understanding of what a ‘Turk’ is in that it includes all of the population living in the Ottoman Empire. When it comes to its de-mographics, the Ottoman Empire was a very complex and diverse community reflected by its great number of nations belonging to different religious denominations and speaking different languages living within its borders. This complex demographical diversity only adds to the ambiguity of the name ‘Turk’ as in such songs the latter has not only been used to refer to the Albanian Muslim population, or to the Muslim popula-tion in particular but even the people living within the Ottoman Empire’s borders in general. The change highlighted in terms of the status of the character labeled as a ‘Turk’ in different settings and contexts in Albanian epic songs known as the ‘The Songs of the Frontier Warriors’ goes to show that the ‘Turk’ as a character in Albanian folklore is a complex one in that one sees it play a variety of functions making it a very flexible and fluid character in legendary Albanian songs
