Published: March 2023

Background: Langerhans The information technology is present in every aspect of private, social, and professional sphere and is constantly evolving whilst remaining vulnerable to security alerts and attacks. The healthcare sector contains sensitive information and can be compromised causing even fatal delays to healthcare delivery, loss of reputation of the organizations, and traumatic experiences for patients who might be stigmatized by the disclosure of their medical files. Infosec practices that are applied by nurses can make the difference in defending or compromising healthcare data. Objective: The aim of this research is to investigate the Infosec practices which are applied by nurses who work in Greek hospitals. Correlation between the Infosec practices, the knowledge on Infosec policies, and attitude towards Infosec policies will be further examined. Methods: The KAP model is applied and the HAIS-Q tool consisted of 45 items in five areas of interest was used. A sample of 277 nurses was collected. Confidentiality issues and consent were respected. IBM SPSS 25.0 was used for the statistical analysis. Descriptive analysis (mean, st. dev.) and inferential statistics, ANOVA, and Pearson Corerelations were conducted. The significance level was set up to 0.05. Results: A strong correlation between knowledge on Infosec policies and attitude towards Infosec policies, attitude towards Infosec policies and Infosec practices, and knowledge on Infosec policies and Infosec practices was established. Nurses apply good Infosec practices in three out of five areas of interest, while their practices concerning the report of security violations and their practices related to the Internet usage are average. Overall, nurses’ Infosec awareness is good. Conclusion: The findings showed that nurses demonstrate average to good knowledge on Infosec policies, good attitude towards Infosec policies, good to average Infosec practices and good total Infosec awareness.The most vulnerable area is the Internet usage.

Is Fama-French five factor model better than the three factor model——Empirical evidence from the US stock market
Authors: Yan Kaiming
Published: March 2023

This paper takes the listed companies in the US stock market from July 1993 to October 2021 as a sample to compare the predictive ability of the three-factor model and the five-factor model. The main conclusions are as follows: Firstly, the correlation between the factors of the three factor model and the five factor model is not significant. Second, using the three factor model to test the profitability effect and investment style effect, it is found that there are still significant profitability effect and investment style effect in the US stock market after 1993 after the adjustment of the three factor model. To some extent, this shows that the five factor model is better than the three factor model in predicting the US stock market returns after 1993.Third, through the redundancy test of the factors in the five factor model, it is found that after the adjustment of several other risk factors, the US stock market still has significant market risk, scale effect, profitability effect and investment style effect, but the HML factor is a redundant factor for explaining the stock portfolio yield. Fourth, by comparing the effectiveness of HML, RMW and CMA factors, it is found that the coefficients of CMA factors are not significant, indicating that CMA factors cannot explain the portfolio return rate of the US stock market.
PRINCIPAIS DIFICULDADES E DESAFIOS DAS MICRO E PEQUENAS EMPRESAS NO ACESSO AO MERCADO DE COMPRAS PÚBLICAS
Authors: Mandarino Marcelo Longo Freitas , Gomes Josir Simeone
Published: March 2023

Micro e pequenas empresas (MPEs) são verdadeiros impulsionadores da economia de um país, gerando renda e emprego para toda a sociedade. O poder público gradativamente vem dando atenção a este segmento através de políticas públicas de forma a facilitar seu acesso ao mercado das compras públicas com tratamento diferenciado nos processos licitatórios. Neste sentido, o presente estudo buscou investigar as principais barreiras e desafios enfrentados pelos gestores das MPEs no acesso ao mercado das compras públicas, analisando também pontos relevantes das políticas públicas complementares. Metodologicamente a pesquisa tem natureza exploratória com características do tipo descritiva sendo fundamentalmente interpretativa. Para a coleta de dados foi utilizado dados públicos oriundos das MPEs participantes dos processos licitatórios. Foram encaminhados no período de 14 semanas mais de 25 mil e-mails com o roteiro de perguntas elaborado através do google forms. O resultado obtido foram 37 respondentes cujas respostas foram analisadas de acordo com os blocos das perguntas realizadas. Constatou-se primariamente um grande distanciamento das MPEs com o meio acadêmico face ao resultado de respondentes. Das respostas analisadas, conclui-se que as políticas públicas que visam dar o tratamento diferenciado e favorecido nas licitações foram devidamente reconhecidas pelos respondentes, mas está longe de ser o ideal. Foram apontados como fatores limitadores e dificultadores no acesso ao mercado das compras públicas a desigualdade na disputa do preço, o capital de giro, os tributos, o excesso de documentação exigida para participação nos processos licitatórios, o acesso às informações, ambiente propício a fraudes e corrupção, a burocracia, a falta de incentivo e acesso a crédito, além da falta de conhecimento e habilidade técnica. Verificado que mais da metade (56,8%) das empresas pesquisadas não utilizam nenhum recurso como estratégia para ampliar a competitividade.
EDITORIAL. Las enfermedades tropicales desatendidas en Venezuela en la era de COVID-19.
Authors: Chacín-Bonilla Leonor
Published: March 2023

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) remain a public health problem among vulnerable, marginalized populations. The crisis in Venezuela has caused poverty, malnutrition, the collapse of the health system and public services that have determined the emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases that exacerbate the problem of NTDs. Due to its economic impact, the COVID-19 pandemic could lead to greater poverty and aggravate the situation. The WHO aims to eliminate 20 NTDs, including geohelminthiasis, as a public health problem by 2030, which is an ambitious plan for Venezuela. To eliminate NTDs as a public health problem, it is necessary to maximize the efforts of the different health disciplines and the application by governments of environmental sanitation measures and the improvement of the standard of living of the affected populations. However, these measures are complex and take time to implement.
Students' Challenges on Learning EMI Courses at a Technical University in Vietnam: An Investigation from Students' Voices
Authors: Hoang Ngoc Tue , Bui Thi Ngan , Le Duc Hanh , Pham Van Duc
Published: March 2023

In the age of technology development and internationalization, EMI (English as a Medium of Instruction) has been seen as a better method for resolving language problems of non-English students than teaching English in a single subject so as to meet the demand for employability in their future profession. However, EMI implementation is still a concern for educational researchers and instructors in many countries, especially in Asian Pacific regions. This research aimed to investigate EFL students' perspectives and challenges in learning an EMI program at a public technical university in Vietnam. To determine the obstacles of EMI learning from students' viewpoint, data were collected qualitatively by in-depth interviews with 18 EMI students in nine different academic disciplines randomly. The findings shed light on EMI implementation for tertiary education, as their perspectives on EMI courses' benefits are quite positive. However, this study also figured out several challenges due to students' poor ability in English interaction, vocabulary shortage, irrelevant course content, EMI lecturers' pedagogical methods, and students' motivations for the EMI course. This study provided some recommendations to help those interested in EMI in higher education enhance and develop EMI courses.
FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE STUDENTS’ LISTENING COMPREHENSION AT MISURATA PREPARATORY SCHOOLS, LIBYA
Authors: Hamuda Mustafa Abdusalam , Selamat Suzanah , Ismail Habibah
Published: March 2023

English language proficiency is the main goal of any learner of a language. Speaking and listening are major components of key skills and literacy qualifications. We need listening skills to understand and to be understood. It has become one of the most important factors of success and excellence for students who wish to speak, understand, advance their career path or continue their education abroad. When students listen to the English language, they face a lot of listening difficulties. This paper examines the teaching of listening comprehension at Misurata preparatory schools. It investigates the challenges that students face in learning listening comprehension skills. Students move to secondary education without a suitable foundation for listening comprehension skills. For this reason, the present study attempts to investigate some listening hindrances faced by students at preparatory schools to elicit their views about listening comprehension skills. This study reports the factors that the students believed had influenced their listening comprehension skills at Misurata preparatory schools. It is an effort to generate awareness among teachers, educators, language policymakers, and learners of English about the proper implementation of this important receptive skill. Data was gathered through a questionnaire from the students' responses. A qualitative method was adopted to analyze the obtained data. This study revealed that listening comprehension is hindered by: limited knowledge of words, accents, phonological difficulties, speech rate, insufficient practice of listening skills in the classroom, inadequate time to teach listening skills, and students are not encouraged to listen to programs outside the classroom.
NUMBER PATTERN CALCULATOR INSTRUCTION LESSON: A TEACHERS’ MATHEMATICS CLASSROOM REFERENCE RESOURCE
Authors: Hove Netsai , Chinamasa Emmanuel
Published: March 2023

This study demonstrates how number patterns can be used for calculator instructional lesson. The lesson’s strengths are reflected by teachers’ qualitative evaluation comments. The study contributes teacher learning material on calculator use for their professional development. The study is guided by qualitative case study research design utilising socio-cultural activity theory. Data were collected from the teacher’s scheme of work, observation of three 20 minutes lessons separated by 15 minutes breaks and lesson evaluation discussions from the lesson’s video by 46 mathematics teachers in five groups. The study found that: the demonstration lesson motivated participating teachers and learners to use calculators. The demonstrating teacher had a high pedagogical technology knowledge level (being proficient user of a calculator, understanding principles and techniques required to use the calculator to teach mathematics). The class environment was conducive (allowed learners to talk to each other or stand to consult a friend on the other desk). Every learner had a calculator. Demonstration charts were clear and visible from the back of the class. The teacher was enthusiastic, able to sequence content and reflect on investigative teaching methods. Teacher applied demonstration, directive, group and individual activities in the same lesson. Calculator application procedure notes on learners’ cell phones brought the teacher on the child’s side for a one-on-one tutorial. Study concluded that, calculators make mathematics exploration, experimentation and learning mathematics patterns possible and interesting. Collaborative inquiry was the framework of the lesson. Learners were motivated to learn in and out of the class. Some learners had challenges of low vision. They took time to identify [x2], [x3] and [yx] calculator keys. Those with thick fingers and ladies with long artificial finger nails pressed more than one key at a time. These experiences form assumed knowledge content for next lesson introduction.
Federalism and Democratic Reform in China with Lessons from India
Authors: Davis Michael C.
Published: March 2023

The Chinese political fabric appears to be under great stress, with reports of nearly 200,000 “mass incidents” every year, especially from workers with labor disputes and ordinary people whose property is often seized by corrupt officials. Such incidents are fuelled by public dissatisfaction nationwide as well as the disenchantment of Chinese State policies among ethnic groups, who occupy at least a third of Chinese territory. China has so far been able to keep its peripheral communities under control (or in the case of Taiwan, to ensure a degree of restraint) through its clear willingness to use force, which has aggravated the unease. A democratic China, however, would find it difficult to adopt such a repressive posture. Drawing on Linz and Stepan and Yadav’s theoretical and empirical elaboration, the article examines the characteristics of Chinese federalism and the lessons that can be learnt from a large multinational state like India. The article suggests a dual mechanism of federalism on the Chinese mainland and confederation with peripheral communities for addressing China’s territorial and political development. A confederal arrangement for China’s peripheral communities would provide a reliable umbrella of national laws and institutions under which these communities could be brought together in the “statenation” vision. The viability of such an arrangement hinges on the presence of a strong judiciary for third-party dispute resolution and for implementing confederal agreements
Political Will And Subnational Governance Reform In India Reflections On HDRs And Development Policy Loans
Authors: Kumar Suraj
Published: March 2023

The paper analyses the experience of post-1995 India’s two major interventions that had an explicit public policy orientation on subnational governance reform (in contrast to more sectoral programmes) – the State Human Development Reports (SHDRs) supported by UNDP and the Development Policy Loans (DPL) supported by the World Bank. It describes the context, process and some of the results of each of these interventions, and also points out their limitations or constraints. In view of the stated reform objectives and agenda of both the interventions, the paper looks at the role of political will, and the challenge of harnessing political will through institutions of parliamentary democracy in India.
Armed Conflict and Women
Authors: Chauhan Sukriti
Published: March 2023

Violence against women in conflict ridden zones has a multidimensional impact, not only on the woman but on her family and community as a whole. Violence against women in conflict zones is merely dismissed as a natural consequence of war, leading to impunity against the crimes, in many cases leading to gender based violations in the post conflict communities. Further, the legal characterization of crimes against woman in conflict zones as crimes of sexual violence alone and not as an attack on her ‘honour’ exclusively. Defining rape as a crime against honour and understanding it from a male perspective shows a failure to recognize the violent and discriminatory nature of the offence. There is a need to redefine women’s rights as human rights and not as ‘private’ or ‘cultural’ rights.
To industrialize, do agriculture
Authors: Haq Zia
Published: March 2023

Is the bond between the tiller and his land starting to ebb? Farmers from a village in Uttar Pradesh protested in 2013, not against land acquisition but for the State laying of its earlier plan of acquisition. They hoped that the lump sum compensation amount would help them move out of poverty. Is it then farmers want to move out of agriculture if there is an option? It is true that agricultural incomes are declining – but still a substantial proportion of India’s population depends on agriculture for their livelihood. The article argues farming will continue to be an important driver of the economic chances of millions and for India to grow at 9%, the targeted agriculture growth must be about 4% a year. However, the agricultural sector is neglected by policy makers and there has been a lack of investments in agriculture for a long time. Better recognition is required of the role of agriculture in Indian economy, its role in improving food insecurity, and most importantly, the farm sector’s own role in propelling the non-farm sector. The article concludes with a plea to invest in cutting edge research in agriculture and not merely on e-commerce digital technologies. Steps must be taken to ensure agricultural credit goes to small and medium farmers, not commercial farming companies masquerading as poor farmers.
Prakriti and Shakti
Authors: Khanduja Geetika
Published: March 2023

This article draws on the ecofeminist ideology to understand the vagaries of Green Revolution in India and its impact on women. It draws parallels between patriarchy and capitalism and suggests that the various lenses such as dualism, marxism and the reductionist view of science are limited to understand the violence inflicted upon women and nature by men and the capitalist class. It takes a critical view of the popular scientific paradigm that favours expertise over generalist knowledge and the propagation of monocultures as more scientifically sound than diversified farming. Using various analogies, the paper illustrates the ideology of treating women and nature as mere surrogates in society and the repercussions of shifting towards intensive agriculture from a subsistencebased approach.
Engagement of the private sector in the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana
Authors: Neogi Susrita
Published: March 2023

The aim of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) has been reiterated in multiple Indian policy documents in the past. Many states as well as central governments have also espoused this goal through government-funded health insurance schemes. The recently launched Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY) is yet another insurance scheme of the federal government to provide secondary and tertiary care services to poor and vulnerable sections to achieve UHC. By design, the insurance model of financing health care opens a window to engage with private healthcare providers. However, as past experiences suggest, engaging the private sector in pursuit of public health goals has not been an optimally effective strategy, either in India or globally. This can be explained ideologically through critiques of strategic purchasing as well as pragmatically through the gaps in the implementation of the previous schemes due to the weak stewardship role of the government. This paper compares the design of PMJAY with earlier public insurance schemes and suggests the scope for improvement in the new scheme to successfully achieve the goal of UHC.
Transitioning to the future of work–The power of possibility
Authors: Puri Lakshmi M.
Published: March 2023

Transitioning equitably and sustainably to the future of work and harnessing it’s full power of possibility, is at the heart of the much needed socio-economic transformation in India and the world. It is also crucial for good governance towards sustainable development for all. The population of the world is predicted to expand from 7.349 billion in 2015 to 8.5 billion in 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050 and up to 11.213 billion by 2100. These have implications for the labour markets in developing and developed nations and they are poised to undergo a major transition if not shocks in the upcoming years and decades. Broadly, the future of work has five dimensions, which are job quality, wage and income inequality, social protection systems, social dialogue, and industrial relations. Technology, climate change, globalisation, and demography have been seen as key factors within the context of the future of work and are projected to play an important and defining role in this process. In particular, the Fourth Industrial Revolution with its focus on technological developments in robotics, artificial intelligence, machine learning and genetics among others, may not only pose challenges for the labour market but also have significant and long-lasting influences on the future of work, economy and society, on life itself. This paper provides insights into how the future of work would look like and how we could consciously shape it.

Is business group affiliation profitable in the emerging markets in the post-pandemic era? :
Authors: Maity Rajdeepa
Published: March 2023

Indian economy has experienced a boom in outward FDI (OFDI) since 2006, which is primarily a two-stage process: one is the internationalization decision and the second is how much to internationalize. Indian firms have been actively making outward foreign direct investments (OFDI) in both developed and other emerging markets, amidst widespread institutional voids and without explicit support from policymakers. Erstwhile, business group affiliated firms were the major players for India's OFDI as being a part of the business group provided access to internal as well as external markets. Now, with the onset of Covid-19 and the new economic policy focused on "Atmanirbhar Bharat", there is an ambition for India to become an important player in the global supply chain.

China’s Dual Circulation Strategy: Origins and Progress
Authors: Godbole Avinash
Published: March 2023

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, China was undergoing a transformation in its thinking about the future of its economy, its drivers and its relation with the world economy. The early days of Covid-induced lockdowns had impacted demand everywhere and had created unforeseen challenges for governments across the world. For China, it was a double whammy since along with economic implications, Covid brought about questions regarding China’s government and its tendency to suppress information and to cover up facts. Many believe that Covid could have been handled differently had China chosen transparency over information control in Wuhan in November and December 2019 (Buckley, 2020).
Forests as a public and free good :
Authors: Mahor Veena
Published: March 2023

The need of the hour for any country is to protect and preserve its forest for combating the climate crisis. Although India is nowhere close to achieving its target of ensuring that 33 percent of its geographical area is under forest cover as laid in its National Forest Policy, 1988, it does not appear to be making much effort towards it. The recent proposed amendments in the Forest Conservation Act, 1980 run the risk of making forests a contested market commodity among private players and big corporations like railways and highway authorities. It further runs the risk of deteriorating the status of forests, taking away the element of public good, and putting it in the category of private goods and thus making it excludable and rivalrous.
Changing how we elect the President of India
Authors: Vyasulu Vinod
Published: March 2023

The President of India is the head of state of the Republic of India. The President is the formal head of India’s executive, legislature and judiciary and is also the commander-in-chief of the Indian Armed Forces. The government acts in his name. Until the President signs a bill passed by both houses of parliament, it does not become law. The President appoints not only the Chief Justice of India but also the Prime Minister and the members of the council of ministers who advise her. In emergencies, as when there is no clear majority in the Lok Sabha, the President possesses discretionary powers. The President is a symbol of the nation-state; the manner of her election therefore matters. At present, the constitutional procedure is as follows.
COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine Conflict : Emergence of India as a Global Leader
Authors: Bapat Jyotsna
Published: March 2023

India’s foreign policy has four clearly-stated principles that have been practised over the past seven years, namely, taking care of national trade and security interests (including using aggressive defence if needed), helping its citizens in foreign countries, taking care of partner countries, and continuing to participate in global governance organizations and institutions while maintaining its non-aligned stand. India over the last seven years has initiated various foreign policy strategies: Act East policy, Sagar (trans-ocean) outlook, Gulf engagement and Central Asia strategies that have focussed on resource use, humanitarian aid, and defence. Greater investment in defence strategies can be done through strengthening national defence, providing maritime security with India’s neighbours in the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea, and restructuring the defence organization. As a irst responder, India takes on a leadership role for its partner countries that are in need of disaster management. Over the last few years, India has taken on the leadership of the global south and engaged with the United Nations as a temporary member.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa can colonize the body when wounds disrupt the skin barrier, compromising immune status, and expressing virulence factors that aid its establishment in the host. Honey is highly medicinal and capable of promoting healing in infected wounds that defy conventional antibiotic therapy. This study assessed the antibacterial activities of honey against multi-drug resistant virulent P. aeruginosa isolates recovered from wounds. Sixty-one P. aeruginosa isolates were recovered, and their virulence factors were determined using phenotypic screening methods. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was evaluated with the Kirby-Bauer disc-diffusion method, while the antibacterial activities of honey were determined by agar-well and disc-diffusion techniques. The components of the honey samples were evaluated using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). All isolates were multidrug-resistant (MDR) with 100% resistance to ticarcillin, tigecycline, and nitrofurantoin; the highest susceptibility to piperacillin, meropenem, and imipenem at 4.9%, 6.6%, and 9.8% respectively; and Multiple Antibiotic Resistance Indices (MARI) of ≥ 0.2. All isolates produced hemolysin but none produced DNase. All the sixty-one isolates extruded multiple virulence factors via phenotypic screening and 96.7% possessed ≥ 50% of virulence determinants analyzed. GC-MS analyses revealed three variants of honey. The isolates exhibited resistance to the honey samples; the most effective honey sample types being H5 and H6. Possession of multiple virulence factors, multi-resistance to antibiotics, and to honey, which is well acclaimed for its wound healing characteristics by isolates raises the probability of invasion to deeper tissues and development of complications, underscoring the necessity to prevent contamination of wounds, a significant cause of morbidity and mortality.

Non-cognitive skills play an essential role in economic development because they help determine the adoption of technological innovations, such as information and communication technology (ICT). However, evidence of the influence of non-cognitive abilities on ICT adoption in Indonesia is limited. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the role of non-cognitive skills in ICT adoption in Indonesia. This study employed the big five personality traits to measure individuals’ non-cognitive abilities. Using the national representative data from the Indonesian family life survey, the probit regression analysis was applied to analyze the role of non-cognitive skills on ICT adoption. The findings show that openness and extraversion can significantly increase ICT adoption. Meanwhile, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and neuroticism show a negative and significant influence. The disaggregate analysis based on gender and location shows different results. The findings in this study have shown that policymaking needs to consider the roles of non-cognitive skills. This finding implies that non-cognitive skills, such as the big five personality traits, should be considered in the formulation of the economic development policy.
Application of sonority theory in standard Albanian
Authors: Xhaferaj Artan
Published: March 2023

The Sonority Theory, which is the fundamental model in syllabification, has been one of the most researched theories for more than a century. Although this theory has been treated by Albanian linguists, it is necessary that a few supplementations and precisions be made. Through this paper, we intend to provide a more comprehensive view of this theory and its mechanisms in Standard Albanian. The aim of this paper was to prove that the sonority theory is applicable to the standard Albanian, because the interviewed students were its native speakers. The object of this paper were bi-consonantal clusters, that are numerous in Albanian. Based in the material comprised in the Dictionary of Present-Day Albanian (1980) we explored bi-consonantal clusters appearing in onsets and codas, which were classified into three kinds: a) consonant clusters in full compliance with the sonority sequencing principle, b) consonant clusters that violate the sonority sequencing principle, and c) consonant clusters that have the same scale of sonority. From the undertaken analysis, conclusions were drawn as to the dispersion of sounds in the onset and coda for the syllable model of standard Albanian, and suggestions were given according to the orthography of some words with consonantal clusters that violate the sonority principle.
