The Technique of Frame Coaching – A Brief Life Coaching Goal-Directed Method
Authors: LeBlanc Bruce D.
Published: June 2022

Frame Coaching is an efficacious brief life coaching method.  Drawing upon Erving Goffman’s Frame Analysis, Frame Coaching adapts its application through the utilization of a literal framing process.  Through framing, individuals visualize an orientation that facilitates the articulation of a goal and then undertake goal action steps toward goal achievement. Goal articulation is for an autonomously generated and self-articulated life issue. Frame Coaching also draws upon the psychological orientations of humanistic, cognitive, and solution-focused psychology, allowing for a life-coach strengths-based approach within the existential nature of life coaching.

Authors: James Elisha , Mutasa Felician
Published: June 2022

The aim of this study was to examine the factors affecting employee productivity of government employees at Shinyanga Regional Secretariat in Tanzania. Government employees were the main point of the study and adopted a survey research design, an ordered logistic regression model and STATA for data analysis was applied. Sample size was 191 respondents, primary data was collected using descriptive questionnaires and triangulation. Results from the ordered logistic regression model (odds) show that, the odds of Trainings are not significant, trainings which have been asked considered all the trainings including seminars and workshops which were found not to relate to the carrier of position one holds in the office and thus it came out insignificant. Basing on the rule for significance level from the regression analysis, the coefficient of the effect of leadership style showed that, one-unit change in the effect of leadership style results in 0.087 units increase in labor productivity, meaning that, there is a significant relation (at p value of 0.000) between the effect of leadership style in Tanzania with respect to labor productivity. Therefore, we recommend that, Leadership style that is supportive and encourages is necessary in building working teams and promotes labour productivity at Shinyanga Regional Secretariat and when employees are not involved in designing, organization and planning the training, the evaluation of the training outcomes becomes difficulty.

The Effects of Proper Inventory Management on the Profitability of SMEs
Authors: Sah Genesis Gyasi , Füredi-Fülöp Judit
Published: June 2022

A business must have or be able to generate enough cash and cash equivalent to meet its short-term liabilities if it is to continue and grow in business. Therefore, working capital management which helps an entity to, efficiently and effectively control current assets and liabilities is a key factor in the company’s long-term success; without working capital, the non- current assets will not function. The greater the extent to which current assets exceed current liability, the more solvent or liquid a company is likely to be.
This paper observes the relationship between working capital management practices of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and the performance and profitability of these businesses in the Kumasi Metropolis , to evaluate  inflows and outflows of inventory to determine the rate at which certain goods are purchased in relation to others. This practice will also help ascertain seasons and times during which certain products experience higher demand and vice versa. This will reduce their over and/or under investment in inventories.
The implication of the findings is that the government of Ghana should pursue policies aimed at encouraging training and improving the managerial skills of SME owner/managers as well as creating the enabling environment for the development of improved modern technologies to transform the business processes of these vital industries.

Authors: Xanthopoulou Panagiota
Published: June 2022

The present study aims to investigate the key organizational factors that impact on the blockchain adoption in the Greek public sector during the current pandemic, which caused many changes in the ways that organizations operate and offer their services. A qualitative method was used through 78 structured interviews with public servants, regarding the digital transformation and the internal factors that hinder the successful integration of blockchain technologies during the current pandemic. The results showed that factors such as employees’ training, organizational culture and leadership, in addition to the lack of equipment, had great impact on the adoption and the successful integration of blockchain in the Greek public administration. Another crucial finding is that public servants consider the current pandemic as an opportunity and not as a threat for radical changes and improvements in the provision of their services, while they also stated that blockchain technologies can improve the ways that they provide public services to citizens and thus they will enhance the sense of public trust to public sector.

The Role of Teachers in the Application of Digital Literacy to Create a Digital Literate Generation
Authors: Hendrarso Panji , Habib Md. Ahsan
Published: June 2022

Entering the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, especially the world of education, schools, teachers and students live in an advanced digital world. In this regard, the existence and role of teachers is very important for digital literacy. In today's conditions, the role of the teacher is very necessary, as it is known that the content on the internet is almost unlimited with a variety of information with an abundance of volume, while teachers and parents cannot always control internet access by students at all times. This study aims to answer the question of how digital literacy is implemented in schools and what are the obstacles faced by teachers in teaching digital literacy. This is a qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. Data collection was obtained from in-depth interviews with 20 teachers. This research shows that there are still many teachers who have not had the opportunity to take part in training related to digital literacy, both organised by the government and the private sector. Therefore, teachers are expected to be proactive in seeking information related to digital literacy from various sources. This study also proves that socialisation related to digital literacy is still very lacking. The government and related parties must be more intensive in conducting socialisation so that the community, especially parents, also understands the importance of digital literacy.

Women experience and celebrate special events in their lifetimes such as pregnancy and childbirth. Pregnancy brings joy for most women in Africa because it is seen to be a fulfillment of womanhood. While pregnancy is usually associated with joy, the moment is equally associated with anxiety and fear especially if it is unplanned. There is evidence that pregnant students experience stress in the traditional Universities in Ghana. The purpose of the study was to examine the level of stress and the coping strategies used by pregnant students in Akatsi College of Education, specifically in terms of campus duties, academic workload, accommodation restrictions, and ways of coping with academic activities pregnancy. The study was a case study qualitative research using a semi-structured interview. Respondents encompassed six pregnant students who are still students of Akatsi College of Education. The majority of pregnant students in Akatsi College of Education experienced stress from the school environment in relation to their comfortability in terms of food, clothing, and accommodation. Pregnant students faced stigma from colleagues. Even though the pregnant students were not suggesting to the College to be given preferential treatment, a large number of respondents wished the college allows them to either rent accommodation outside campus or be given a room meant for only pregnant students. It was realised that the majority of respondents adopted coping strategies to deal with stress on campus. There is a need for a policy direction for Akatsi Colleges of Education for pregnant students to be allowed to rent outside campus or be given separate rooms. Also, there is a need for flexibility in the style of uniform and options for pregnant students on campus to cook their own food. Counselling/GESI units in Akatsi College of Education to institute measures to identify pregnant students and prepare them psychologically.

Co-assessment among language teachers
Authors: Caliolo Susanna , Hedman Christina
Published: June 2022

This paper reports on a case study of online co-assessment practices among teachers of minoritized languages in the so-called Mother Tongue (MT) subject in Sweden. These co-assessments, involving both qualified and unqualified teachers, have not previously been investigated, despite the strong emphasis on co-assessment practices in the Swedish school. The data was collected both for a master’s thesis project (see unpublished thesis, Caliolo, 2021) and for the sake of this paper. On the basis of interactional analyses of three co-assessments and four teacher interviews, our aim was to contribute new knowledge on co-assessment within this institutional frame regarding how the two teacher roles in a master-apprentice relationship were produced through interaction. The scripted frame included a collaborative act of matching assessment criteria to student performance, through the authorized teacher’s controlling moves (Linell, 1990, p. 161). The authorized teachers used their roles as experts to ask clarifying questions and to orient the dialogue toward the stated standards (cf. directive moves, Linell, 1990), but also to provide space for teacher reflections through an interactional balancing act. A challenge was identified in terms of better integrating teacher experience and of providing better opportunities to co-assess with teachers who teach the same language, which allows for a closer focus on aspects of teaching. The study points to a need for further critical inquiry into these assessment practices, which undergird increasing equal educational opportunities for multilingual students, and how interpretations of current standards are linked to student performance in similar language learning contexts.

Synthesis, Characterisation and Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel by Butyltin(IV) 2-Acetylpyridine 4-Methyl-3-Thiosemicarbazone in HCl
Authors: Hazani Nur Nadira , Dzulkifli Nur Nadia , Ghazali Sheikh Ahmad Izaddin Sheikh Mohd , Mohd Yusairie
Published: June 2022

Schiff base ligand, 2-acetylpyridine 4-methyl-3-thiosemicarbazone (Me-LH), and its organotin complex (BuSn(Me-LH)Cl2) were synthesized, characterized, and subjected to corrosion inhibition study. The spectra and crystal structure obtained revealed that the ligand is coordinated by pyridyl nitrogen, azomethine nitrogen, and thiolate sulfur to organotin (IV) ion. Corrosion inhibition of the synthesized compounds on mild steels in 1 M HCl solution at different concentrations were tested using weight loss, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and adsorption analyses. Corrosion inhibition results showed that the complex had a strong corrosion inhibitory effect in comparison to the ligand. The inhibition efficiency of all the techniques improved with an increase in the concentration of corrosion inhibitor. Polarization analysis results showed that the compounds can be categorized as mixed-type inhibitors. Meanwhile, the EIS study indicates that with an increase in the concentration of corrosion inhibitor, the resistance to charge transfer increased. This resulted in the adsorption of inhibitors and the development of a protective layer on the mild steel surface which was further confirmed by SEM analysis. The adsorption isotherm of compounds on a mild steel surface followed the Langmuir isotherm model.

HIGHLIGHTS

The efficient method to inhibit the corrosion rate of mild steel in an acidic medium is a corrosion inhibitor

The electrochemical and weight loss analysis proved that the corrosion inhibition efficiency increases when the concentration of inhibitor is increased

The study proved that the thiosemicarbazone complex showed the potential as corrosion inhibitors at low concentrations

Kulturalni rasizam, primordijalni lijaliteti i etničko čišćenje / Cultural Racism, Primordial Loyalties, and Ethnic Ceansing
Authors: Delibašić Asim

The purpose of this paper is to provide insight into the individual and structural causes of ethnic cleansing.  The paper argues that the cause of ethnic cleansing is cultural or ethnic racism, and that the structural conditions under which ethnic cleansing occurs in society are modern models of social organization such as democracy and nationalism, which form the context in which interethnic prejudice is unleashed in its full  strength.  The root of this prejudice, in multicultural post-communist states, is usually a very common form of primordial ethnic loyalties, which, by their irrational and antagonistic nature, in periods of early democratic consolidation of society, almost instantly generate irreconcilable demands and feelings of threat from other ethnicities, causing the conflicts between communities that historically share the same territory.

Growing strawberries is a promising and profitable field of
agriculture. However, there are a number of limiting factors that determine
the productivity of the crop, in particular pests-phytophages. The study
aims to determine the features of the phenological phases of strawberry
mite (Tarsonemus fragariae) and to examine the effect of protection on
the population of phytophagous mites, the impact on physiological and
biochemical processes in strawberry plants Murano and Vivara. The study
is based on generally accepted methods in entomology and ecology. The
degree of damage to strawberry plants was determined on a five-point scale,
which on average for 2016-2020 was estimated at 0-1 point. A phenological
map of strawberry mite development was created, the dependence of
phytophage phenophases on weather conditions was established. In the
Murano strawberry plantations, the average population of strawberry mite
eggs in 2016-2020 was in the range of 105.3-165.0 pcs/100 leaves, larvae –
37.0-61.3 pcs/100 leaves, imago – 20.8-96.3 pcs/100 leaves. In the Vivara
strawberry plantations, the population of mite eggs was in the range of
90.8-180.0 pcs/100 leaves, larvae – 37.0–57.0 pcs/100 leaves, imago – 17.3-
95.3 pcs/100 leaves. The effectiveness of the chemical plant protection
systems under study (Masai® (0.4 kg/ha) + Biskaiia® (0.8 L/ha); Apollo®
(0.5 l/ha) + Tsezar™ (0.2 L/ha) + Mavrik™ (0.6 l/ha)) against phytophage
mites was almost at the same level. The exception was a direct ovicidal
effect of the Masai and a mixture of Apollo + Tsezar; on the 3rd day after
their introduction, the larvae in the eggs were unviable and the eggshells
were mummified. The application of strawberry protection systems ensured
berry yields of 33.4 t/ha in the Murano variety and 25.4-25.6 t/ha in the
Vivara variety and a yield increase of 16.6-16.7 t/ha and 12.4-12.5 t/ha,
respectively. The positive effect of plant protection systems against pests
on the indicators of physiological and biochemical processes in the leaves
of strawberries of both varieties was established. An increase in the content
of chlorophyll by 33-58%, phenolic compounds – by 7-15%, sugars – by 6-10%,
vitamin C – by 2-6% compared to the control was recorded in strawberry
leaves. Given the high environmental safety requirements for berry growing
technologies, the search for alternative biological products in the control
of Tarsonemus fragariae is promising

Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the main food crop on a global
scale, in the growth and stabilisation of yields, of which varietal resources
are a significant factor. In practical breeding work, an essential role is played
by a variety of thoroughly investigated source material. The purpose of this
study was to determine hypothetical and true heterosis and establish the
nature of inheritance of the number of grains from the main ear in hybrids
of soft winter wheat. In 2018-2020, 45 combinations of cross-breeding of
soft winter wheat varieties obtained from hybridisation of different growing
season periods were investigated in the experimental field of the Research
and Production Centre of the Belotserkovskyi National Agrarian University.
Generally accepted methods were used to determine the hypothetical and
true heterosis and the degree of phenotypic dominance by the number of
grains in the main ear. Studies indicate that the number of grains in the ear
of the main stem of the parent components of hybridisation is determined
by genotype and considerably depends on the hydrothermal conditions of
the year. The author of this paper established the influence of maternal
cytoplasm on the manifestation of the trait under study. Thus, when used
in hybridisation of early-maturing varieties with the mother form, the largest
average number of grains in the main ear for hybrids (63.3 pcs.) was formed in
2019. At the same time, for the use of medium-early, medium maturing, and
medium-late varieties in hybridisation, the maximum number of grains (64.8 pcs.)
was marked in 2018. Therewith, all hybrids formed the minimum number
of grains in 2020. The obtained experimental data indicate the influence of
parental genotypes and year conditions on heterosis indicators and the degree
of phenotypic dominance in first-generation hybrids. It is determined that
the most common type of inheritance (85.6%) of the number of grains from the
main ear is positive overdomination. Practical value for the selection of soft
winter wheat are the selected cross-breeding combinations: Myronivska
early / Zolotokolosa, Myronivska early / Cherniava, Bilotserkivska semi-dwarf /
Cherniava, Bilotserkivska semi-dwarf / Antonivka, Kolchuha / Antonivka,
Zolotokolosa / Charniava, Zolotokolosa / Yednist, Cherniava / Vidrada,
Cherniava / Stolychna, Shchedra Nyva / Dobirna, Antonivka / Stolychna,
Dobirna / Pyvna, which significantly exceeded the average number of grains
from the main ear for F1

Forest typology is yet to get sufficiently integrated into related ecological and geographical sciences. The succession of plant phytocenoses necessitates constant adjustments to forest types. The discussed studies have been conducted to improve the classification of forest types in the Ukrainian Carpathians and bring the description closer to the actual distribution of vegetation within the studied area. The paper provides a detailed analysis of forest typology research for the Ukrainian Carpathians area during late 20th and early 21st century. The forest fund areas of the Carpathian region, which are subordinated to the State Agency of Forest Resources of Ukraine, have been classified by forest vegetation types. Total area of subor and coniferous forest types is 1,493.1 ha and 28,910.2 ha, respectively. The study involved establishing of permanent sample plots on the territory of nature protection institutions and forest management enterprises. According to the findings, it is proposed to complement the classification of subor and coniferous forest type as defined by Z.Yu. Herushynskyi on the territory of the Ukrainian Carpathians with the following types: fresh pine subor forest type, wet pine subor forest type, and wet pine coniferous type. The paper defines the main diagnostic features of the suggested forest types. These subor and coniferous forest types can be clearly distinguished from other forest types by soil and hydrological conditions, and can be used to describe the corresponding forest vegetation types. The correctness of definition of new forest types is confirmed with a set of plant indicator species that have been identified within the relevant areas. The findings provide a better understanding of forest ecology and make a significant contribution to forest typology studies on the territory of the Ukrainian Carpathians. Another step towards researching the patterns of the establishment of plant complexes in the Ukrainian Carpathians has been taken. Forest formations of the Carpathians are presented in more detail in forest typological science

Predicting the success of a new venture has always been a topical issue for both investors and researchers. Nowadays, it has become even more relevant concerning start-ups-young innovative and technology enterprises aimed at scaling their businesses. The purpose of this study is to create a model for predicting start-ups’ success based on their descriptive characteristics. A model that connects such start-up features as the period from foundation to the first financing, the area of activity, type, and amount of the first financing round, business model, and applied technologies, with the start-up investment success, which refers to re-investment, has been developed using data from the Dealroom platform on statistics of start-ups activity and their description. The final sample included 123 start-ups that are founded or operate in Ukraine. Three machine learning algorithms are compared: Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, and Random Forest. Acceptable results were obtained in terms of Accuracy, Sensitivity, and F-score, despite the limited data. The best model concerning start-up success prediction is determined by a Decision Tree, with an average effectiveness of 61%, 55%, and 52%, respectively. The AUC level for the Decision Tree achieved 58%, which is lower than the Logistic Regression and Random Forest scores (65%). But the last models had done so well by better predicting start-up failures, while more practical is the ability to predict their success. All models showed an acceptable level of AUC to confirm with confidence their effectiveness. The decision support system for the investment object can be helpful for entrepreneurs, venture analysts, or politicians who can use the built models to predict the success of a start-up. This forecast, in turn, can be used to drive better investment decisions and develop relevant economic policies to improve the overall start-up ecosystem
