Transmission Dynamics of Typhoid Fever Outbreak: A Mathematical Modelling and Optimal Control Approach
Authors: Asamoah Adrian , Otoo Henry , Nyarko Peter K.
Published: November 2024

In this paper, we propose and analyze a deterministic mathematical model for the control of typhoid fever. This model incorporates five effective control strategies, including vaccination, booster vaccination, personal hygiene, treatment, and bacteria sterilization, in order to effectively stop the spread of the disease in the population. The model consists of seven compartments, each representing a different stage in the disease’s progression: vaccinated, susceptible, carrier, infected, recovered, booster vaccinated, and bacterial. Using the next-generation matrix approach, we calculated the reproduction number , which measures the disease’s potential for spreading. Our stability analysis, using the Routh-Hurwitz criteria, revealed that the disease-free equilibrium point is locally asymptotically stable when is less than 1, among other conditions. This means that typhoid can be completely eradicated if the rate of secondary infection is kept below a certain threshold. Further sensitivity analyses were conducted to determine the key parameters that impact . Based on our findings, we formulated an optimal control problem and utilized Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle to determine the most effective strategy for controlling and eliminating the disease. Our results show that a combination of vaccination, booster vaccination, personal hygiene, treatment, and bacteria sterilization is the most optimal approach. With our comprehensive model and effective control strategies, we are one step closer to wiping out typhoid fever for good.
COVID-19 Concerns and Resources Allocation on Smallholder Rice Farms in Cote D’ivoire
Authors: Gniza Innocent Daniel
Published: November 2024

Covid-19 has caused a great deal of concern among the population, particularly in rural areas. Smallholder farmers have reacted in various ways to these concerns and to the psychological stress associated with the spread of the virus. This study analyzes the correlation between producers’ concerns about COVID-19 and productive resource allocation decisions on smallholder rice farms in Côte d’Ivoire. Using cross-sectional data obtained from 1359 households in the Poro, Tchologo and Tonkpi regions through a stratified random sampling technique where each village was considered a stratum, the study uses descriptive statistics, chi-2 tests and Pearson correlation tests to achieve the objectives. The results indicate that producers’ concerns are related to family, travel, finances and product availability. These concerns vary from region to region. In addition, the results indicate that concerns about COVID-19 led producers to reduce inputs used on the plots and to increase labor for cultivation activities. The study makes several recommendations, including the psychological consideration of small-scale producers in rural areas and the effective subsidization of inputs during health crises to avoid food insecurity problems.
Exploring Refugee Crises: A Comparative Study of US Withdrawals from Vietnam and Afghanistan
Authors: Akhtar Imranullah
Published: November 2024

The refugee crisis is a recurring consequence of the long-term conflict and political turmoil. This research aimed to study and compare the refugee crisis resulting from the U.S. involvement in the complex political dynamics of both Vietnam and Afghanistan. The study analyzes the causes, reactions and impacts of these refugee crises and gives insights into the complexity of the displacement and international response. The qualitative research design focused on content analysis. Books, academic papers and reports are used as data sources. The framework of realist and forced migration theory was applied to identify the root causes of the refugee crisis in Vietnam and Afghanistan, allowing comparative analysis. The study examined the US military’s involvement in the refugee crisis since 1975 in Vietnam, highlighting its impact on refugees and host communities. The US’s withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 led to the Taliban’s takeover, increasing Afghan refugee numbers and posing political tensions and security risks. In Vietnam, an estimated 2 million and in Afghanistan, an estimated 1 million refugees fled the country after the withdrawal due to push and pull factors. The Vietnam and Afghanistan refugee crises share similarities, but they have significant differences. Vietnamese refugees primarily fled by sea, while Afghans used land, air, and sea routes. Vietnamese refugees settled in Southeast Asia and the US, while Afghan refugees sought asylum in various countries. The U.S. government’s policy response to refugees exhibited a mix of welcome and skepticism, influenced by Vietnam’s strategic importance during the Cold War. The study recommended enhancing international cooperation, prioritizing humanitarian aid, implementing comprehensive refugee policies, promoting conflict prevention, enhancing resettlement programs, addressing socioeconomic factors, raising awareness, combating stigma, strengthening legal frameworks, investing in education, and learning from past experiences to address refugee crises.
Implications of Vote-Selling on Ghana’s Democracy: Evidence from Bantama Constituency
Authors: Gyasi Jennis Benewaa , Torsu Leonard Atsu
Published: November 2024

Vote-selling has detrimental implications for Ghana’s democratic process and principles. The study aimed to examine the implications of vote-selling on Ghana’s democracy. A qualitative approach and case study design were adopted. The convenience sampling technique was used to select 14 participants for the study. Data was analyzed using thematic analysis. The analysis shows that voters sell their votes because of unfulfilled campaign promises, the readiness of politicians to spend on campaigns, and the voters’ willingness to use elections to get their share of the national cake. Vote-selling transactions start with convincing voters, followed by the process of channeling incentives, conveying voters to voting stations, and ending with proof of voting. Also, the findings show, that the inability to select competent leaders, corruption, tyranny, inability to initiate good policies and the inability to hold politicians accountable are the implications of vote-selling on Ghana’s democracy. The study concludes that vote buying and selling are a contract where both politicians and voters, that is sellers and buyers profit while ignoring the aftermath consequences of such an action. The study also concludes that vote-selling has detrimental implications for Ghana’s democracy. We recommend that NGOs, electoral commissions, civil societies, and non-state actors should spearhead and strengthen democracy by mounting vigorous campaigns to educate the electorates not to accept financial or material benefits before they vote for a particular candidate. Moreover, the consequences of vote-selling and buying should be included in high school curricula to educate Ghanaians on its implications
Ukraine-Russian War Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Emil Abbaszade
Published: November 2024

Our world has always faced numerous issues, driven by both natural cycles and the egoistic desires of states. Global organizations struggle to prevent human rights violations and environmental damage, as international structures from the early industrial era have become ineffective. A new Cold War has emerged, shifting from military to psycho-material spheres, with a focus on AI, drones, cybersecurity, and nuclear weapons.
In the northwest of Eurasia, a new military intervention among Slavs is in full swing. Two forces, each stubbornly refusing to capitulate, fight against each other, raising questions about the morality of their actions. Every people, ethnicity, or nation has the right to self-determination, but these conflicts often lead to significant geopolitical tensions.
Ukraine, a sovereign state, is at the heart of this global tension. It has the right to decide what is best for its people and to choose its own path of development. However, in our globalized world, every action can have far-reaching consequences, much like the "butterfly effect." Ukraine must consider the interests of its former partners and modern neighbors to navigate this complex landscape.
At this critical juncture, Ukraine must reflect on its choices, asking itself: "What did we overlook?" The country's decisions are pivotal, not only for its future but also for global stability. Every move in this geopolitical chess game has the potential to alter the balance of power, making Ukraine's choices crucial in shaping the outcome of this new era of global relations.

Reaping the rewards with minimal toil: Evaluating the polemics of artificial intelligence in academia and the future of academic writing
Authors: Mugambiwa Shingirai
Published: November 2024

The use of Artificial Intelligence in academic writing swings on the edge of revolution and obliteration, where the promise of unparalleled efficiency clashes with the specter of intellectual dilution, which challenges the essence of academic rigor and originality. This paper interrogates the ways in which the two extremes of innovation and traditional writing methods in academia can be integrated. As such, the paper argues that it is essential to incorporate new technologies and modern AI tools with critical and historical aspects of academic culture rather than replacing them. In essence, AI should only augment what researchers are able to do, not replace them. As a result, it is important to set specific guidelines and standards in order to deal with issues, of authorship, data collection, controlled storage, and validation of artificial intelligence products. Lastly, the paper recommends the necessity of training and education about AI tools for academics and scientists in institutions of higher learning. The academic community should seek to implement policies and strategies that allow for the use of AI technologies in the execution of scholarly activities without compromising the quality of academic writing.

Published: November 2024

Clustering analysis techniques used in identifying homogeneity of groundwater wells patterns in terms of Chloride, Nitrate, and TDS. Data was collected through the laboratories of Palestinian Water Authority in the Rafah 2020. R-Programming is used for data analysis. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is used to test data normality. Hierarchical clustering analysis applied to generate a cluster tree (r>0.75) in correlation matrix. Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering is used to classify with “average” method and found that there are two clusters. First cluster with 28 wells and Second cluster with 9 wells. Test of homogeneity between the two clusters groups using T-test for the hierarchical clustering and found that there are significant differences in means for TDS and for Chloride between first cluster and second cluster with a significant level less than 0.01. While for Nitrates, also, there are significant differences in means between the first cluster and second cluster with a significant level less than 0.05. Different stability validation measures carried out for data concludes that for the APN and ADM measures, hierarchical clustering with two clusters again gives the best score. Three internal cluster validation measures are used. Concludes that Hierarchical clustering with two clusters performs the best in (Connective, Dunn, and Silhouette). Recall that the connectivity should be minimized, while both the Dunn Index and the Silhouette Width should be maximized. Thus, Hierarchical clustering outperforms the other clustering algorithms under each validation measure.

Published: November 2024

The function of the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) is manifested in 3 (three) things, namely: the legislation function, the budget function, and the supervisory function. In particular, the function of the district/city DPRD is regulated in Article 149 paragraph (1) of Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government (hereinafter referred to as the Regional Government Law) which states that the district/city DPRD has the function of forming district/city Regional Regulations, budgets, and supervision. Problem 1. What is the effectiveness of the main points of thought in the preparation of budget planning in Rembang Regency? 2. What are the factors that affect the effectiveness of the main points of thought in the preparation of budget planning in Rembang Regency? This research is categorized as an empirical (non-doctrinal) legal research that mainly examines the position of the main points of thought of the DPRD in the Rembang Regency RKPD by comparing the situation in the field with the laws and regulations (statute approach). The results of the study show that the effectiveness of the DPRD's Points of Thought in the preparation of budget planning in Rembang Regency is highly dependent on the synergy between the DPRD, the local government, and the community. As an instrument of representation of community aspirations conveyed through members of the DPRD, the Principles of the DPRD plays an important role in ensuring that the needs and priorities of the development of the Rembang community are accommodated in the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD), so that the Principles of the DPRD can function optimally, a mechanism that is well coordinated with the results of the Development Plan Deliberation (Musrenbang) is needed, so that there is no overlap in programs. 2. Factors that affect the effectiveness of Points of Thought (Pokir) in the preparation of budget planning in Rembang Regency are very diverse and interrelated. First, the quality of community participation is a key factor. The high participation of the community in the process of collecting aspirations through the Development Plan Deliberation (Musrenbang) will produce Pokir that is more relevant and in accordance with real needs in the field.

Presenteeism among teachers and administrators in primary and secondary schools in Morocco case study: The Moroccan public school system
Authors: BOURRAY Mounir , SNAIBI Badia , AJDI Nihal
Published: November 2024

This research is conducted with the aim of studying presenteeism among teachers and administrators in Moroccan public schools. It seeks to enhance knowledge and understanding of a recently recognized subject, namely, presenteeism. Presenteeism is a novel concept in organizational behavior that describes an individual who is physically present yet mentally disengaged. It denotes productivity that falls below expectations despite the employee's attendance and presumed competence, and it encompasses subpar performance by an employee who reports to work while being unwell. It also includes a phenomenon of excessive presence in the workplace. Empirical research on presenteeism is reasonably plentiful, mostly in the domains of medical and management, but empirical studies in the realm of education are exceedingly scarce. This research seeks to enhance our comprehension of presenteeism by identifying the factors that compel teachers and administrators to engage in it, as well as by elucidating the repercussions that ensue from this behavior. This study is carried out at primary and secondary schools in Casablanca, specifically at the Elfida Mers Sultan Directorate, using a sample of 32 instructors and 20 administrators. Key findings indicate that presenteeism is an under-recognized but widespread phenomenon, with 55.8% of participants admitting to having worked while ill. Contributing factors identified were workplace conflicts, demanding schedules, health problems, burnout, advanced age and lack of training in this area among administrators. The effects of presenteeism have a negative impact on student engagement, academic performance and lead to behaviors such as inattention and classroom disruptions.
Determinants of the effectiveness of education and training in Indonesian migrant workers
Authors: Somanedo Ofri , Muhyadi Muhyadi , Jabar Cepi Safruddin Abdul
Published: November 2024

This study explores the effectiveness of education and training programs for Indonesian migrant workers, who often seek employment abroad due to limited opportunities and low wages in their home country. The increasing numbers of migrant workers, combined with their significant economic contributions, highlight the need for effective training to enhance their self-reliance and reduce the likelihood of returning to overseas work. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research identifies key determinants of program success, including financial literacy, self-management, motivation, and social support. The findings reveal that while macro-level policies are still insufficient, effective mapping and guidance at the micro level show promising results. Successful training programs positively impact the workers' independence, with those who acquire essential skills more likely to pursue entrepreneurship upon returning to Indonesia, rather than seeking further employment abroad. The study underscores the importance of incorporating financial and digital literacy, along with entrepreneurship training, into the curriculum to foster long-term economic independence for Indonesian migrant workers.

Islamophobia and Media Discourse: A Critique of American and Pakistani Newspaper Article's Discourses
Authors: Saifullah Faiza , Ahmad Ali , Tahseen Hira , Siddique Nimra
Published: November 2024

Media Discourse explores the interactions occurring on broadcast platforms and is pivotal in global news dissemination. It also can propagate divergent viewpoints aligned with prevailing power structures. A comprehensive approach involving qualitative and quantitative methods addressed these aspects. Fairclough's Sociocultural Approach of Critical Discourse Analysis was applied for a critical qualitative examination, while a questionnaire was developed for quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis involved three stages: characterization, understanding the relationship between message and communication, and elucidating the connection between communication and social context. Specifically, "USA Today" and "Dawn" were selected as representatives of American and Pakistani newspapers, respectively. For the quantitative phase, a random sample of 50 respondents completed the questionnaire, and the data were analyzed using SPSS software. The findings revealed discernible differences in the writing tone between the two newspapers, both contributing to the propagation of Islamophobia. Respondents exhibited a mix of positive and negative reactions to the questionnaire, reflecting varied perspectives on the media discourse under scrutiny.
“Memento homo upon my bum”: Humor and Self-Satire in Joyce’s “Gas from a Burner”
Authors:   South East European University, Goodspeed Andrew
Published: November 2024

James Joyce was a famously diligent creative writer and, by all accounts, was a man who well understood his own artistic pre-eminence. Yet his poetry—particularly his casual and private verses—often reveals a strong sense of humor about himself and his position as the author of important but difficult prose. His 1912 poem Gas from a Burner is one of Joyce’s most extended satirical works, notable most particularly for its amusingly dismissive depictions of notable contemporaries, such as William Butler Yeats, George Moore, John Synge, Padraic Colum, and other prominent writers. The poem has usually been studied as a flippant satire on the publishing industry in 1912, and on Joyce’s relations with his publishers and creative colleagues. Yet Gas from a Burner also offers a complex humorous portrait by implication of Joyce himself (or at least a Joyce persona). This paper proposes to extract Joyce’s implied self-satire from the poem, and to examine the narrative approach by which Joyce simultaneously adopts the persona of a philistine publisher whilst also mocking his colleagues and, this paper suggests, humorously mocking himself.
Spare Hamlet
Authors: Maziashvili David
Published: November 2024

In 2023, the whole world eagerly awaited the release of the book Spare by Prince Harry. It is not only the prince’s admirers and the people who are interested in the British monarchy, but also academics from humanities and popular magazines express their interest in Spare, which increases Harry’s popularity in all social groups of Western society. Spare introduces the British Monarchy through the eyes of the insider. Probably, the most popular and tragic story in the history of English and world literature narrated by the insider is Hamlet. In Shakespeare’s times, the theatre played the same role which today is associated with mass media: television, press, cinema, soup operas etc. The audience at the theatre could listen and watch not only the performance on the stage but also get news about politics, love-affairs, religion, etc. We can find the same idea in the scene of the mousetrap, when Hamlet with players, verified the message (information) delivered by his father’s ghost in the theatre. Stories that take place at Buckingham, Windsor, St. James’s, Kensington and Balmoral could become a genesis of new comedies, dramas and tragedies. It is a fact that Shakespeare’s works as if have become the “Genetic Code” of British Monarchy and the stories of the House of Windsor often remind us of the works by Great Bard, in particular Hamlet as today we are witnessing Prince Harry Hamletize himself and representing the Buckingham Palace as Elsinore in his book Spare. Consequently, the article explores the question of interrelation between Hamlet by Shakespeare and Spare by Prince Harry in three directions: literary-textual, socio-cultural and socio-historical (political).

No esporte da Grécia, conforme comentários de Junito Brandão, há muito de dimensão simbólica do Homem. Esta dimensão simbólica, que é uma característica fundamental da natureza da linguagem humana, não foi preservada tão somente na tradição helênica, como também na tradição de povos primitivos – porém, entra em crise, quando vivenciada na prática, talvez pelos interesses e desejos do Homo Sapiens. As escolas brasileiras, enquanto gestão de órgãos públicos, não parecem respeitar a importância desta dimensão simbólica da linguagem e tendem a menospreza o valor da prática esportiva mediante o seu enclausuramento numa dimensão curricular com mera obrigatoriedade sem a conveniente administração governamental, o que banaliza a prática pública como benefício para a sociedade do Brasil. Apenas pontualmente observa-se o exercício esportivo, como iniciativa de benefício social.

A agricultura é essencial para a economia brasileira, gerando empregos, riqueza e exportações. A microrregião de Irecê, localizada no estado da Bahia, é destaque na produção agrícola, especialmente no cultivo da cebola, contribuindo significativamente para a economia local. No entanto, a cultura da cebola enfrenta desafios como doenças e pragas, exigindo técnicas modernas de manejo. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o impacto do tratamento de sementes de cebola com bioestimulantes à base de algas marinhas. A pesquisa avalia a germinação e o desenvolvimento inicial das plântulas, comparando sementes tratadas com um grupo controle não tratado. Além disso, busca contribuir para o conhecimento dos produtores, proporcionando uma base sólida para um ciclo de produção mais eficiente e rentável. As variáveis analisadas incluíram Índice de Velocidade de Germinação (IVG), porcentagem de germinação (%G), massa fresca (MF), comprimento do sistema radicular (CSR) e comprimento da parte aérea (CPA) em diferentes doses de bioestimulante. Os resultados mostraram que o bioestimulante tem efeitos positivos na porcentagem de germinação e no comprimento da parte aérea. Além disso, o estudo confirmou que o uso de bioestimulantes não aumenta a incidência de plantas anormais, assegurando a qualidade das plântulas. Dessa forma, os bioestimulantes à base de algas marinhas são uma ferramenta valiosa para melhorar a produtividade e a qualidade das culturas de cebola, promovendo práticas agrícolas mais sustentáveis e ambientalmente responsáveis. No entanto, destaca-se a necessidade de mais estudos para otimizar as concentrações e avaliar os impactos a longo prazo, consolidando assim o uso desses bioestimulantes na agricultura.
CRISE DOS CONCEITOS E FUNDAMENTOS NA TEORIA DO GARANTISMO DE LUIGI FERRAJOLI
Authors: Figueiredo Francielle da Conceição Drumond
Published: November 2024

O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de fazer uma reflexão crítica acerca das manipulações da teoria do Garantismo de Luigi Ferrajoli, em que a sua teoria é importada para o Brasil, sem a devida compreensão. A teoria, que deveria servir à proteção dos direitos fundamentais, é frequentemente manipulada para justificar práticas que enfraquecem o direito penal ou como resposta à violência, sem o devido estudo prévio do contexto em que foi concebida. Essa utilização distorcida gera uma crise de conceitos no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, onde o garantismo é usado fora de seu propósito original, sem considerar o momento histórico e as intenções do autor. O filósofo Hans-Georg Gadamer alerta sobre a necessidade de compreender a historicidade das teorias antes de aplicá-las, evitando deturpações que comprometam sua eficácia. Assim, o texto destaca a importância de um entendimento profundo e contextual da teoria para evitar seu uso inadequado da teoria, bem como as suas manipulações.
