Published: September 2024

In developing metropolitan cities, the expansion of urban areas due to the urbanization phenomenon has resulted in massive transport infrastructure development in suburban areas. This development has prompted many governments to begin introducing Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) to organize emerging transit hubs in suburban areas into their city plans. The approach adopted to introduce TOD may differ, depending on the existing context. Countries with similar socio-cultural background typically adopt a uniform approach, but not Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur as the most developing metropolitan cities in Southeast Asia with similar urbanization and socio-cultural Based on the situation, through the examining documents and spatial analysis, this study seeks to examine the impact of different policy approach between Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur on the progressions of transport infrastructure and TOD areas in suburban. The results showed that Kuala Lumpur had a more rapid progression in transport infrastructures development, accompanied by the establishment of several transit zones in urban and suburban areas. Meanwhile, Jakarta’s approach comprised the gradual development of infrastructures, initially focusing on TOD in central urban areas and only a limited number of suburban areas with significant commuter traffic. These results indicate that differences in policy approaches in the two regions with similar urbanization and socio-cultural contexts influence the evolution of transport infrastructure and TOD areas development. Several factors contribute to these discrepancies, including efficiency, synchrony, bias, clarity of organizational structure, and conceptual comprehension. At macro basis, policy makers must underline that the characteristics suitability between the approach and region critically determines the success of urban development.

Published: September 2024

The coastal area of Bohai Bay of China has a wide distribution of salt-accumulated soils which could pose a problem to the sustainable development of the local ecology. As a result, the land remains largely degraded and unsuitable for biophysical and agricultural purposes. In this study, we characterized the soil and native plants in the area, to properly understand and identify species with satisfactory adaptation to saline soil and of high economic or ecological value that could be further developed or domesticated, using appropriate cultivation techniques. The goal was to determine the salinity parameters of the soil, identify the inhabiting plant species and contribute to the ecosystem data base for the Bay area. A field survey involving soil and plant sampling and analyses was conducted in Yanshan and Haixing Counties of Hebei Province, China, to estimate the level of salt ions as well as plant species population and type. The mean electrical conductivity (EC) of the soils ranged from 0.47 in more remote locations to 23.8 ds/m in locations closer to the coastline and the total salt ions from 0.05 to 8.8 g/kg, respectively. Each of the salinity parameters, except HCO3− showed wide variations as judged from the coefficient of variation (CV) values. The EC, as well as chloride, sulphate, Mg and Na ions increased significantly towards the coastline but the HCO3− ion showed a relatively even distribution across sampling points. Sodium was the most abundant cation and chloride and sulphate the most abundant anions. Therefore, the most dominant salinity-inducing salt that should be properly managed for sustainable ecosystem health was sodium chloride. Based on the EC readings, the most remote location from the coastline was non-saline but otherwise, the salinity ranged from slightly to strongly-very strongly saline towards the coast. There were considerably wide variations in the number and distribution of plant species across sampling locations, but most were dominated entirely Phragmites australis, Setaria viridis and Sueda salsa. Other species identified were Aeluropus littoralis, Chloris virgata, Heteropappus altaicus, Imperata cylindrica, Puccinellia distans, Puccinellia tenuiflora and Scorzonera austriaca. On average, the sampling points furthest from the coast produced the most biomass, and the point with the highest elevation had the most diverse species composition. Among species, Digitaria sanguinalis produced the highest dry mass, followed by Lolium perenne and H. altaicus, but there were considerable variations in biomass yield across sampling locations, with the location nearest the coastline having no vegetation. The observed variations in soil and vegetation should be strongly considered by planners to allow for the sustainable development of the Bahai bay area.
Dependency syndrome within Africa’s international relations: A hindrance to sustainable development in Africa
Authors: Niyitunga Eric Blanco , Musya Justice K.
Published: September 2024

Using a qualitative research methodology and exploratory approach to collect data, this study assessed the effects of dependency syndrome within Africa’s international relations and its repercussions for achieving sustainable development. The collected data were analysed using document and content analysis techniques. The study revealed that dependency syndrome within Africa’s international relations has led to aid dependency, political violence, and poverty. It has promoted laziness and an inferiority complex that affects the working conditions of Africans. Further, it has promoted corruption and affected the rule of law for good governance; yet, sustainable development cannot occur without it. Moreover, dependency syndrome has inhibited innovation and led to the destruction of the local industries that are key to achieving sustainable development. The results of the study found that dependency syndrome has prevented the development of a robust transport network system that could promote African trade relations, which would lead to sustainable development. The results also posited that chronic poverty and underdevelopment in Africa are perpetuated by the dependency syndrome within Africa’s international relations. The study recommended that Africa needs to overcome dependency syndrome and reform her international relations with external world. This would require establishing a continental sovereignty that enables the continent to have one common foreign policy within its planning diplomacy endeavours.

Non-Newtonian fluid flow between parallel plates filled with an anisotropic porous medium
Authors: Kumar Amit , Madasu Krishna Prasad
Published: September 2024

Micropolar fluid flow through an anisotropic porous medium between two horizontally oriented impermeable plates under the effect of slip conditions for velocity and microrotation vectors at both plates are analysed in this paper. The permeability of an anisotropic porous medium is along two principal axes of permeability K1 and K2. The principal axis with permeability K2 forms an angle ψ with the horizontal direction called anisotropic (or orientation) angle. It is observed that the velocity and the microrotation profiles decrease as permeability ratio K and orientation angle ψ increase. Velocity slip (β1 and β2) parameters show the effect on the velocity profile near upper and lower plates but have a strong influence on the microrotation profile. The spin slip (σ1 and σ2) parameters showed minor enhancement in the velocity profile but had an increasing effect on the microrotation vector. The decrease in permeability ratio and anisotropic angle results in an increase in skin friction. The impact of other parameters like Darcy number Da, micropolar parameter N on velocity and microrotation vectors are presented graphically and discussed. The presence of the slip effect helps to reduce the impact of friction due to plates causing fluid flow to enhance.

Published: September 2024

Rabies is controlled by mass animal vaccination campaigns. Cats, dogs, and wild animals (e.g., bats) are large reservoirs of this virus and can pose a significant threat to the human health, especially in the developing countries. The nucleoprotein of the rabies virus is of great scientific interest since it has the potential to generate immunity in animals and can be used as for immunochemical diagnostics. The study aimed to test a large-scale expression of the rabies N protein in a prokaryotic system. The recombinant N protein was successfully expressed and purified. It was immunologically recognized by specific antibodies and was able to induce the production of specific antibodies in a mouse immunization assay. These encouraging results indicate that the recombinant N protein can be evaluated as an antigen for the development of a subunit vaccine or for a diagnostic assay.

System data of Nigeria's transmission grid were obtained to create the grid's power flow simulator (PFS), using power system analysis software (PSA) and Aeronautical Reconnaissance Coverage Geographic Information System (ArcGIS) for spatial distribution and dimensioning of relevant grid elements. The PSA deploys the Newton Raphson (N-R) computation method to test for steady-state failure (SSF), available transfer capacity (ATC), voltage stability, and loading. From initial power flow computations, the critical region was mapped by an imperfect ring network, inadequate redundancy and critical portions of the voltage profile. Predominantly, these are applicable in the Northern region and approximately 70% of the nodes experience voltage violations. The buses are: Yola, Gombe, Kano, Maiduguri, Damaturu, Kaduna, and Jos. In order to improve the reliability, redundancy, ring network, and quality of power supply within the critical zone and, in general, improve Nigeria's overall network, there is an urgent need to reinforce it.

Authors: Musya, Anna  , Dr. Gathogo, Nguchie  , Chiroma, Nathan
Published: September 2024

The study looked into the connection between servant leadership and interpersonal conflict management among pastors from two denominations in urban towns in Kenya. Servant leadership was considered the independent variable, while interpersonal conflict management styles were considered the dependent variable. Three objectives guided the study: to find out how emotional healing affects interpersonal conflict management, to determine how putting followers first affects interpersonal conflict, and to examine the effect of behaving ethically on interpersonal conflict among pastors in selected urban churches in Kenya. The study applied a pragmatic philosophical approach and used the convergent parallel mixed methods approach to collect data. The study calculated a sample size of 123 responses, of which 75 participants responded. Quantitative data was analyzed using STATA v17. Correlation analysis was used to determine the relationships between the constructs of the variables. Findings from the study indicated that servant leadership behaviours of emotional healing, putting followers first and behaving ethically had an effect on accommodating, compromising, and collaborating conflict management styles among pastors in selected urban churches in Kenya. The findings provided empirical strength to the practice of servant leadership behaviours for effective interpersonal conflict management. The researcher recommended that leadership training for pastors incorporate the practical applications of servant leadership behaviours for enhanced interpersonal conflict management among pastors.
“A modo de huella”: desaparición y desafío en la poesía de Antonio Méndez Rubio
Authors: Cahill Paul
Published: September 2024

Las representaciones de la desaparición y la (in)visibilidad juegan un papel clave a lo largo de la obra de Antonio Méndez Rubio (Fuente del Arco, Badajoz, España, 1967). Este estudio combina un enfoque temático y formal en las huellas y el silencio en una selección de poemas que abarca poemarios como Un lugar que no existe (1998), Por más señas (2005), Razón de más (2008) y Va verdad (2013). Más allá de arrojar luz sobre lo ocult(ad)o o tratar de revelar historias y memorias colectivas traumáticas ocultadas, muchos de los poemas de Méndez Rubio que aluden a huellas las presentan como agentes activos que no revelan objetos ocultos. El compromiso en esta poesía se basa en una visión del texto poético como objeto y espacio visual y una visión expandida de la relación compleja entre lo visible y lo invisible que engloba también la presencia y ausencia de elementos acústicos.
Heroísmo carnavalizado: reivindicación de los archivos disidentes y la defensade la memoria colectiva en la novela La carroza de Bolívar de Evelio Rosero
Authors: Guerrero Jiménez Vanessa
Published: September 2024

The present article aims to analyze the recognition of dissident and counter-hegemonic memories of Simón Bolívar’s official history in the novel “La carroza de Bolívar” (2012) by Evelio Rosero. Through a critique of the discourses about the official archive as a document that authorizes and defends a legitimate exegesis of the figure of the Liberator, it delves into the cracks of history to untack the framework of subaltern memories that evidence the nefarious actions of the patriot project during the 19th century in Pasto. Additionally, it discusses how carnivalization functions as the mechanism that activates these actions of resistance within the plot and allows for a grotesque transformation of the Simón Bolívar figure. Thus, the ultimate purpose is to demonstrate the symbolic significance of anti-Bolivarian memories within Pasto society up to the present day.
Evidence Obtained Through Unlawful Means During Police Custody
Authors: Mohamad Yunus Mohamad Ismail Bin
Published: September 2024

In contemporary discussions, there is growing debate over the procedural methods employed by police in obtaining evidence from suspects while in custody. A key point of contention is whether evidence acquired through illegal means should be admitted in court, with some arguing that its admission violates the suspect's right to a fair trial, while others contend that such evidence is crucial for proving the case. The law is currently ambiguous on this issue. According to the Oxford Legal Dictionary, illegally obtained evidence is defined as evidence acquired through methods that contravene legal procedures. Importantly, the distinction between evidence obtained illegally and confessions made while in police custody is critical, as Section 26(1) of the Evidence Act 1950 explicitly prohibits the admission of confessions made under such circumstances. This article aims to explore the status of illegally obtained evidence and assess whether it should be admitted or excluded by the courts when the evidence is obtained from a suspect in police custody.
SentraGakkumdu Challenges in Enforcing Election Crimes Under Law Number 7 of 2017: A Comparative Research of Indonesia and Nigeria
Authors: Angela Deni
Published: September 2024

General elections in Indonesia are designed to ensure equality and justice for all voters and candidates, regardless of party affiliation. Despite these principles, election violations do occur, including criminal acts, breaches of ethical standards by election organizers, and administrative violations related to election procedures. To protect the integrity of elections, which is crucial for democracy, lawmakers have classified certain electoral frauds as criminal offenses. The Election Law not only outlines the procedures for conducting elections but also prohibits actions that undermine the fairness of the process and imposes penalties on offenders. The type of research in this study is normative legal research, which is a research method that focuses on written legal norms. accompanied by a comparative study of the country of Nigeria The results showed that the small number of reports of election crimes that continued to the level of investigation, prosecution, and examination in court until the issuance of a permanent legal force decision (inkracht van gewisjde) showed that the handling of election crimes in the elections had not been effective. The same is true for Nigeria through INEC. Although INEC has the authority to initiate cases of electoral offenses, it rarely does so due to a lack of supervisory capacity due to understaffing and the inability or unwillingness of the police to collect evidence and conduct investigations.
