Authors: Buana Muslim Bintang Lazuardi Benteng , Moin Abdul
Published: March 2021

This study aims to determine how the effect of ownership structure on debt policy with financial constraints as a moderating variable in non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2015-2019. The partial results of foreign, managerial, institutional, and family ownership do not affect the debt to equity ratio (DER). Financial constraints can moderate institutional ownership against the DER but cannot moderate foreign, managerial and family ownership to the DER. The partial results of foreign, managerial, institutional, and family ownership do not affect the debt to asset ratio (DAR). Financial constraints can moderate managerial and institutional ownership of the DAR but cannot moderate foreign and family ownership of the DAR. Meanwhile, foreign ownership, managerial, institutional, family, and financial constraints simultaneously influence debt policy.

Background

A unique syndrome affecting young adults of unexplained hearing loss often associated with uncorrectable poor visual acuity and lower extremity numbness is endemic in Dar es Salaam. This study characterised the hearing loss, associated it with other symptoms, and gathered information on potential causes.

Methods

Forty-seven patients (23 men, 24 women) <40 years old with a symptom consistent with the syndrome, negative syphilis test, and no head injury history were recruited from Muhimbili National Hospital. 18 controls (10 men, 8 women) were recruited from the same neighborhoods as patients. Hearing ability and cochlear outer hair cell function (distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs)) were assessed, as were visual acuity and colour vision. Peripheral neuropathy was evaluated using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI), and physical examination. Blood C-reactive protein levels and toenail trace metal concentrations were measured. Environmental exposures were elicited using a questionnaire. Patients with at least two of the following signs were defined as having the syndrome: poor hearing with normal DPOAEs, vision not correctable to better than 20/30, or a MNSI score greater than 4.

Results

29 participants met the case definition. C-reactive protein (CRP) levels did not differ between groups but manganese, cobalt and tin levels were each greater in the cases than controls. No other environmental exposure differences were noted.

Conclusions

Toenail manganese, cobalt, and tin levels were higher in those with the syndrome. These metals are potential neurotoxins suggesting a possible environmental origin for this unique and debilitating syndrome.

Published: March 2021

Green gram (Vigna radiata (L.) wilczek,) commonly known as moong or mung bean or golden gram was introduced to Eritrea as a pulse crop by Ministry of Agriculture at its National Agricultural Research Institute (NARI) in collaboration with Association for Strengthening Agricultural Research in Eastern and Central Africa (ASARECA) in 2012. But its agronomic practices for semi-arid conditions of Eritrea are not yet standardised. Therefore, to find the optimum inter row spacing and phosphorus dose for its higher productivity, a field experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of Hamelmalo Agricultural College, Keren, Eritrea during summer 2015 and 2016. The experiment was conducted in randomised complete block design (RCBD) with 12 treatment combinations of two factors consisting of four inter row spacing (Broadcast, 18 cm, 30 cm, and 45 cm) and three phosphorus levels (0, 20 and 40 kg P2O5 ha-1) each replicated thrice. The results of the study revealed that sowing of K-26 bold seeded variety either by broadcast method or at 18 cm inter row spacing at10 cm plant to plant spacing fertilized with 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 through DAP fertilizer drilled at the time of sowing proved significantly superior to increase growth, yield attributes and seed yield of green gram.
Alleviating Society’s Economic Crisis: Narrative Policy on Social Safety Nets Policy Process During Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Aji Nugroho Alih , Fitri Azmi Ilima
Published: March 2021

This study aimed to see how the coalition policy at the national level narrated the social safety net (JPS) policy as an effort to save people from the crisis during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) was used to analyze the influence of the policy narrative component from experts, executives, and their supporters on the JPS policy process. The method of the study was descriptive qualitative. The result of the study showed that the strategy of policy coalitions at the meso level in policy narrative influenced the social safety net policy-setting process. In the JPS policy narrative, groups supporting the policy fall into the category of status quo group which positioned itself as a hero. This group came from government circles who claimed that the JPS policy is for the benefit of the community. The second group (victims) came from people who believed in the notion that the implementation of JPS policies was problematic and inappropriate. Villain from the JPS narrative was characterized from a group that took advantage of the situation for personal gain. Moral of the story from JPS policy was that the hero tried to lead the narrative so that the story built legitimized the policy.

MEKANISME KERJA ANDROGRAFOLIDA DARI SAMBILOTO SEBAGAI SENYAWA ANTIOKSIDAN
Authors: Yunita Elvira
Published: March 2021

Andrographolide is the main bioactive compound derived from sambiloto, Andrographis paniculata. Andrographolide compounds can potentially be used as phytopharmaca substances. Andrographolide has very broad pharmacological aspects, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer and anti-diabetic. The pharmacological aspects possessed by andrographolide are probably closely related to the chemical profile and the mechanism of action of andrographolide as an antioxidant in counteracting free radicals. Therefore, it is important to know the chemical profile and mechanism of action of andrographolide compounds as antioxidants to understand the mechanism of action of these compounds in dealing with various diseases. This study is based on a review of related literature. Based on the literature review, it was found that the mechanism of action of andrographolide as anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-dyslipidemia is closely related to the mechanism of action of this compound as an antioxidant. The unsaturated γ- lactone structure at C13 and C14 of andrographolide can neutralize superoxide anions. The double bond in this carbonyl ester group will affect the deprotonization of the H atone located at C15 so that the H atoms on C15 will be easily extracted by the highly reactive superoxide anion. Thus, andrographolide can stop the chain reaction of a radical molecule. This mechanism can cause andrographolide compounds to play a role in reducing the effects of free radicals in various diseases.

The Colombian Caribbean region has become an important exploratory target, and recent discoveries confirm its potential as a gas province to overcome the expected near-future gas deficit. A petrophysical and dynamic characterization workflow was implemented for this challenging deepwater play, where the depositional environment is the result of turbidity current processes. The reservoirs consist mostly of thin to very thin sand layers, corresponding mainly to the Ta, Tb, and Tc divisions of the Bouma sequence as observed in the cored intervals. Bouma divisions Td and Te are related with the lowest rock quality and represent the nonreservoir intervals. The greatest challenge in the characterization of this particular reservoir is the vertical resolution, given the very low thickness of the layers, which becomes very difficult to detect using standard resolution logs. Thus, tomography images, resultant CT-scan curves, and their integration with routine and special core analyses were used to reveal the true nature of this complex reservoir. The proposed methodology focuses on the integration of routine and special core analysis for the petrophysical and dynamic characterization of the reservoir, where the pore-throat-radius distribution from high-pressure mercury injection becomes the basis of the differentiation between what is considered reservoir and what is not. Pore-throat radius estimated from high-pressure mercury injection (R35) correlates extremely well with textural features and clay content in the rock; therefore, this parameter (R35) was used to define the different classes for rock typing. The approach taken was to develop a multilinear regression model of R35 as a function of very high-resolution tomography outputs in the cored zones and then see how it may be extrapolated to the uncored zones using available high-resolution logs. Special petrophysical analyses, such as NMR low field, porous-plate capillary pressure, electrical properties, and relative permeability curves (steady state), showed correlation with the defined rock types and, in turn, allowed for a determination of the gas accumulation potential of the area. Finally, rock and fluid (dry-gas) properties have been used to build a single-well radial model to design initial well tests (DST) and predict production performance from each interval (selective tests). The simulation model represents the lateral and vertical heterogeneity related to the geological environment (turbidites). The final results have defined the flow and shut-in times during tests to optimize the budget.

The Alvheim Field in the Norwegian North Sea was discovered in 1998. Two wells were drilled in 2018 in the Gekko structure to confirm oil column height and to evaluate reservoir quality in the Heimdal Formation. A comprehensive wireline logging program, including NMR and formation testing, was optimized to reduce formation evaluation uncertainty. Evaluating fluid properties, oil column height, and reservoir quality were primary objectives. Well A was first drilled on the south of the structure, followed by Well B on the north of the structure. Reservoir quality encountered in both wells was very good, and a project to develop these resources is currently in the selection phase. Formation evaluation uncertainty encompassing pore geometry distribution, permeability, reservoir quality, and hydrocarbon identification are mitigated by studying the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) log response. NMR fluid typing has been widely used in the oil industry since the 1990s. NMR fluid typing today is a combination of the contrast of spin relaxation time T1, the spin-spin relaxation time T2 (T1T2), and the diffusivity (T2D) of formation fluids (Chen et al., 2016). NMR fluid typing can be obtained from a continuous log and/or stationary log measurements. This paper showcases excellent, textbook-quality NMR data, as well as the integration of NMR data in the petrophysical workflow. High-confidence fluid properties and fluid contacts are determined. This paper also highlights a comparison of NMR data acquired in stationary vs. continuous depth-based log modes in both wells. The continuous log data quality is equivalent to stationary data, implying continuous log data quality is sufficient for reliable NMR fluid properties evaluation without depending on time-consuming stationary NMR measurements. Reducing logging operations rig time is very advantageous in the North Sea, where drilling rig operations cost is high, and enhanced rig time management is constantly required.
The pitfalls associated with more intensive engagement in collaborative forums: The role of behavioral spillovers and cognitive load
Authors: Mewhirter Jack , McLaughlin Danielle M.
Published: March 2021

Polycentric governance systems feature numerous decision-making venues (“forums”) where policy actors repeatedly interact to address a subset of policy problems. Previous studies find that forums where actors dedicate greater time and cognitive resources tend to be perceived as more effective. Drawing on behavioral game theory and the Ecology of Games, we argue that the improvements afforded to any one forum vis-à-vis more intensive participation may come at a cost: lower levels of perceived effectiveness in linked forums. We use survey data collected in the Tampa Bay (FL) and California Delta (CA) water governance systems to examine our contention. Using a series of spatial Durbin models, we find that perceived effectiveness of a given forum is directly impacted by the intensiveness by which actors participate in that forum (positive association). However, there are also behavioral spillovers: the intensity with which actors participate in other forums in the system has indirect negative consequences for perceived forum effectiveness.

Effect of oxygen and bismuth impurities on the structural and physicochemical properties of nickel melts
Authors:   Baikov Institute of metallurgy and materials science of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Filippov K.S.
Published: March 2021

There are practically no data in the literature on the combined effect of oxygen and bismuth impurities on the structural and physicochemical properties of nickel melts or heat-resistant alloys based on it. In the presented work, the state of pure nickel and nickel melts containing (0.005-0.01) bismuth and oxygen is considered in the process of refining from oxygen and bismuth impurities. The influence of these impurities on the structural and physicochemical properties was studied, which was evaluated by the parameters of the density and surface tension of the melts. In nickel melts with bismuth and oxygen, a compression effect and a negative deviation from Raoult’s law were observed. The effect of an increase in the surface tension of a nickel melt containing oxygen with an increase in the concentration of bismuth is found, which corresponds to the isotherm of desorption of excess substance from the surface into the bulk.

The article seeks to provide a robust framework to ensure effective management of innovative business processes at agricultural companies in rural areas. Based on different conceptual interpretations of the "innovation" and "business processes" terms, this study suggests to consider the innovative business processes as a goal-oriented set of operations (activities) performed sequentially or simultaneously (transforming inputs into outputs) that shapes a desired ultimate result with a focus to its application and R&D commercialization. Presenting innovation-based activities of rural agricultural companies in a business process format will facilitate their better adaptability to rapidly changing external environment, enable to assess the effectiveness of individual innovations as well as to detect the bottlenecks and errors and eliminate or mitigate them at the initial stage of innovation development. From the perspective of a process-based approach, the proposed model of managing innovative business processes of agricultural enterprises in rural areas provides an opportunity to: 1) benefit from effective use of innovative technology to achieve strategic goals of rural agricultural enterprises; 2) harmonize stakeholder interests of all rural agribusinesses and accumulate resources for their implementation) to provide rationale for agribusiness activities in rural areas in terms of ensuring their competitiveness; 4) to boost the profitability of rural agribusinesses and generate unused resources. The identification of such common elements contributes to better understanding of the logic of a systemic framework to manage innovative technology process based on business process compositional modeling. The findings demonstrate that step-by-step algorithm based on the proposed model will enable to carry out a sound assessment of the innovation potential of agricultural companies, build their sustainable competitive advantages along with contributing to creating a favourable environment to implement innovative development strategy in the agriculture industry and promote the application of technological innovations in manufacturing and management.

The article provides insights into financial and economic aspects of international partnerships in the defense sector. A critical review of operational practices of the largest defense companies provides evidence that subcontractor financing (in particular, in case of multi-phase contract financing or investment capital budgeting) is used only if the main contractor gains an advantage (in situations when high demand products are available only from a small, undercapitalised supplier or when a ‘critical’ product supplier faces certain financial difficulties). The findings demonstrate that working and investment capital raising practices refer more to the specifics of how companies accept payments from their customers rather than focusing on the particular military product they offer. Although the company funding needs including capital size and time investment are directly affected by the product type, the factors that drive the company needs in financing are characterised by contract duration and the specific services or products provided to customers in a package. The study suggests a well-reasoned action plan to be implemented at the government level along with specifying the areas of international cooperation to reduce the negative effects from the final severance of value chains between Ukrainian companies and the CIS defense industry. In particular, the study substantiates the need to liberalize the regulatory framework for transferring of military equipment and dual-use goods; the need to change management practices at state-owned enterprises in terms of timely disposal of inefficient assets along with asset corporatization and privatization; the need to reform the standards and technical regulation framework in the area of defense-related product design and manufacturing; the need to implement tax incentives and mandatory payments for defense industry enterprises which invest in production growth. A special emphasis is put on the role of Ukraine – NATO cooperation to modernise the national defense industry and enhance the integration of Ukrainian businesses into global production networks along with demonstrating the benefits gained from international cooperation, in particular this refers to Ukraine's access to important regulatory documents, including military doctrines, which contributes to facilitating reforms within the Armed Forces of Ukraine; approval of the package of measures which are critical to raising awareness and to support NATO partners in the Black Sea region; and finally, the recognition of Ukraine as an Enhanced Opportunities Partner in June 2020.

Objetivo:analisar o registro de curativos nos diferentes Sistemas de Informação à Saúde (SIS). Método: trata-se de um estudo descritivo, baseado em dados secundários, no período entre 2017 e 2019. Os dados foram extraídos de sistemas de livre acesso e abrangência nacional, dentre eles: 1) Sistema de Gerenciamento da Tabela de Procedimentos, Medicamentos, Órteses, Próteses e Materiais Especiais (SIGTAP); 2) Sistema de Informação da Atenção Básica (SISAB); 3) Sistema de Informação Ambulatorial (SIA/SUS). Resultados: foram registrados 74.032.134 curativos simples, desses 46,1% no ano de 2017, 27,1% em 2018 e 26,7% em 2019. Em relação ao procedimento curativo grau II com ou sem desbridamento foram 11.559.664, com valor aprovado de R$ 380.142.162,10. Dos quais 31,6% em 2017, 32,6% no ano de 2018 e 35,8% em 2019. A denominação do procedimento de curativos se difere da Atenção Básica para os demais níveis de atenção, apesar de no SISAB os curativos serem denominados curativo simples e curativo especial, ambos estão relacionados ao código SIGTAP: 0401010023 – Curativo Grau I. Enquanto no SIA/SUS os procedimentos relacionados ao curativo são 0401010023 – Curativo Grau I; e 0401010015 − Curativo Grau II, dificultando a comparação entre os procedimentos. No SIGTAP, o profissional enfermeiro estomaterapeuta é habilitado somente para registro de curativo 0401010023 − Curativo Grau I, com ou sem desbridamento. Conclusão: o estudo revela a necessidade de revisão dos SIS, devido às inconsistências de informações, além dos SIS não se comunicarem. Assim, a completude dos dados precisa ser considerada, caso contrário o conhecimento gerado pode não representar a realidade.
Potential Use of Some Preplant Herbicides for Controlling Broadleaf Weeds Before Transplanting Tomato Seedlings
Authors: PALA Fırat , KARİPÇİN Zeki
Published: March 2021

Weeds reduce yield competing with the tomato for nutrients, water, and light. Also, some common broadleaf weeds such as nightshade, cocklebur, and pigweed are hosts to bugs, disease, and viruses. Weed control with herbicides is focused directly or indirectly on improving the competitive ability of the crop with regard to the weeds. A field study was performed to investigate pre-plant and pre-emergence herbicide's efficacy on weeds and tomato cv. Alsancak Fı at vegetable research fields of Department of Horticulture in Siirt University, in June-August 2016-17. Oxyfluorfen (480 g/l a.i ha–1) active ingredient was identified as promising active ingredient because Weed Control Efficiency (WCE) was found 86% at 14 DAT, 79% at 28 DAT, 65% at 42 DAT, 56 DAT 52%, also Weed Index (WI) was detected 29%. All weed control processes have effectively reduced the density of weeds. However, clomazone (480 g/l EC 0.2 L a.i ha-1), fluometuron (500 g/l SC 2 L a.i ha-1), and flurochloridone (250 g/l EC 2.5 L a.i ha-1) were extremely injured the tomatoes. Although these there active ingredient control weeds more effectively, it cannot be used for weed control in tomato fields because of excessive crop injury. Oxyfluorfen 240 g/l EC 1 L a.i ha-1 and pendimetalin 450 g/l CS 3 L i ha-1 were found relatively promising, these two can be used, but the risk of phytotoxicity depending on application period, climatic and soil conditions should not be ignored.

The study group consists of 64 students attending a university in Computer Programming department in Turkey. There are 34 students in the experimental group and 30 students in the control group. The prepared achievement test was applied to the students as pretest, posttest and permanence test. After the application, interviews were made with 15 students selected from the experimental group. As a result of the research, it is seen that the academic achievement and permanence levels of students in the experimental group using AR course material for teaching coding education are higher than the students in the control group. According to the results obtained from the qualitative dimension of the research, it has been determined that AR technology provides many advantages such as efficiency, permanence, comprehensibility and convenience on learning; accordingly, it has been suggested that it should be expanded in different courses and fields.

Authors: Tavella Sofia , Furian Roberta
Published: March 2021

The main aim of this study was to evaluate changes in attention level in response to different physical activity strategies for patients with binge eating and investigates the most effective type of training. Binge eating symptomatology is linked to attention disorders (ADHD) and motor activity is a constituent tool for their treatment. The variability of attention was used to determine the effectiveness of the sport training treatment, the physical activity protocols have been adapted for the patients in relation to their general health and emotional state. The medical team of "Villa Guerrini-Galantara" has created an open group dedicated to physical activity. The subjects were 15 and 52± SD years old, they were sedentary and volunteer to study. Attention levels were assessed at each training session with cognitive tests adapted from "Trail Making Test" and "The d2 Test" and named "T0-T1-T2-T3", before the training session (T+EX) and after the training session (EX+T). The research lasted 18 months and on the basis of the results obtained, a statistically significant difference emerges in in attention level compared to hypothesis (0.003<0.05p) and between the different types of training, which concerns only the administration of the first motor work protocol (P1). The physical activity protocol P1 seems to be a promising tool for enhancing therapeutic interventions. Keywords: attention, eating disorders, physical activity
El cine en las provincias argentinas desde las revistas porteñas
Authors: Grela Reina María Constanza , Peterlini Lesly
Published: March 2021

El cine estuvo presente desde tiempos muy tempranos en las provincias de nuestro país, aunque poco se refleja en los estudios de cine argentino que se hacen eco, casi exclusivamente, de las producciones realizadas desde el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires. Esto incide directamente en la conformación de una lectura parcial de los procesos cinematográficos de la Argentina. Encontramos necesaria la construcción de un panorama total del cine nacional y para ello las publicaciones periódicas especializadas, abocadas al estudio del cine, significan un gran aporte a la hora de rastrear la realización de producciones regionales, reconstruir los circuitos y formas de distribución/exhibición e indagar en los modos de recepción. Analizaremos las publicaciones periódicas Cinegraf, Cine Universal, La película. Semanario cinematográfico sudamericano, Cine Club Argentino. Boletín mensual Cine Mínimo, Todo lo referente al cine de 16, 9 y ½ y 8 milímetros, Radiofilm, y otras de relevancia, publicadas en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires entre 1914 y 1959, a fin de rescatar la mirada sobre el cine regional desde el ámbito porteño. Estas revistas cuentan con corresponsales, corredores y contactos comerciales en las provincias y se observa un caudal de información específica que facilita la ampliación y profundización de la actual historiografía sobre cine argentino.
A Negotiated Disadvantage? California Collective Bargaining Agreements and Achievement Gaps
Authors: Marianno Bradley D.
Published: March 2021

Using panel data from three successive collective bargaining (CBA) negotiation cycles from 277 California school districts in a difference-in-differences framework, I investigate the relationship between changes in CBA restrictiveness and racial and economic achievement gaps over time. I find that achievement gaps in California are smaller where contracts increase in restrictiveness in class size and larger where contracts increase in restrictiveness in teacher evaluation and leave policies over time, though this is not the case for all student subgroups. These effects are primarily concentrated in math, are small in magnitude, and are sometimes delayed in their timing. Altogether, this study provides some evidence that contract changes are associated with the educational opportunities of school districts’ diverse and economically disadvantaged students.

The Power of the Press
Authors: Hughes Henry
Published: March 2021

Based on the 1986 Reed Lectures, Power of the Press illustrates the important role that the Gospel Advocate, the Christian Standard, and the Christian-Evangelist played in shaping the identity of all three streams of the Stone-Campbell Movement in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. The essays also offer explanations as to why publishing offered such remarkable influence in this period.
Servants without Hire
Authors: Smith William
Published: March 2021

Based on the Reed Lectures from 1967, Smith traces the anti-clerical message that accompanied the frontier religious preaching of Alexander Campbell and Barton Stone. Their hopes were that congregations could appoint their own leaders without the undue influence of outsiders. These evangelists were to be first and foremost servants, with no distinction between lay members and ministers. Smith, then traces the development of a professional ministry system within Disciples of Christ into the 1960s as churches called for greater levels of training among their preachers. Chapters include: ▪ A Nineteenth Century Revolution: A Free Ministry in a Free Society ▪Pastors-Evangelists-Bishops and Sometimes Deacons ▪Changing Ministries for Changing Times
Yale Divinity School and the Disciples of Christ 1872-1989
Authors: Becker Edwin
Published: March 2021

For many years, Disciples of Christ students well out-numbered Congregationalists and Methodists at Yale Divinity School, and this led to a "mainstreaming" of Disciples within the broader Protestant world. Yale Divinity School and the Disciples of Christ documents this transition, noting all graduates of Yale with ties to Disciples between 1872 and 1989. This important book shows the lasting impact of Yale on higher education, pastorates, denominational offices, foreign missions, and theological scholarship. The mainstreaming of Disciples of Christ in the 1920s was greatly shaped as its ministers pursued higher education. Becker's study shows the important place of Yale Divinity School in Disciples history. Though at one time, the University of Chicago trained more ministers than Yale, by the 1970s more than 600 clergy serving in Disciples of Christ had received their training from the Yale Divinity School.

On the Internal Political Situation in the DRC and the Prospects of the UN Mission (MONUSCO)
Authors: Tochigin Mikhail
Published: March 2021

This article examines the activities of the UN peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the main problems associated with its organization and conduct. The author analyzes the prospects for effective modernization of the UN mission in this country, taking into account the historical, socio-political, ethnic, economic contradictions existing there. Based on his own experience of participation in the UN mission in the DRC and the experience of his colleagues, the author provides a comprehensive assessment of the conflict and possible ways to resolve it. The research has shown that mission work can be significantly more efficient under certain conditions. The author, on the basis of personal participation in the UN mission in the DRC, for the first time summarized the problem zones in the work of the mission and the reasons for their existence and proposed direction for increasing the efficiency of the UN mission in the DRC, the prospect for its development.

Despite the multimillion-dollar infusion, the country has remained one of the most economically backward in the world for decades. Many analysts agree that expensive development projects tend to work for themselves rather than for the Congolese. The shadow economy in the DRC is flourishing, and with it the illegal export of the most valuable minerals (coltan, tungsten, cassiterite, gold, diamonds and much more), the final destination of which is in the largest industrial corporations in Europe and America.

As the analysis has shown, the colossal financial flows going to the DRC are primarily aimed at protecting the sphere of raw material interests of foreign companies in this country. This is precisely where the policy of double standards of Western and now Eastern partners is manifested.
Formation of Jomo Kenyatta as a Politician. The First Years of the Presidency
Authors: Madloume Reham
Published: March 2021

The purpose of the article is to trace the formation of Jomo Kenyatta as a politician who led the anti-colonial struggle in Kenya, to identify the problems he faced during this struggle, as well as methods of solving them, to analyze the social and political activities of the African leader as President of Kenya, the reasons for the emergence of opposition within the country, as well as foreign policy activities.

Considering that the factual part of Kenyatta’s biography has been fairly well studied, the author simultaneously set the task of comparing the approaches of Russian and foreign (mainly British) researchers in assessing his activities in different years. The relevance of the topic lies in the fact that in many countries of the African continent the memory of the leaders of the period of liberation is still an important instrument of national solidarity. This fully applies to Kenya, where Jomo Kenyatta, in the memory of all segments of the population, is still the “father of the nation”, one of the symbols uniting the people of Kenya, despite the fact that his role in the life of the country is assessed ambiguously.
