Published: September 2024

The Philippines provides several workers all over the world, particularly in the Maritime industry. The need to train graduates who are proficient in the English language is a must. However, academic institutions need to identify ways that can facilitate enhancing the students' speaking skills. This pre-experimental study determined the speaking skills of 38 Maritime students enrolled in an English Proficiency class in one of the Higher Education Institutions in Ozamiz City. The Speaking Test performance of the participants and the intervention materials were taken from the DynEd courseware. The data were analyzed using Mean, Standard Deviation, and t-test. The study revealed that the participants' pretest performance for the Speaking Test was categorized at the elementary level, while their post-test performance was at a lower intermediate level. There was a significant difference in the participants' speaking test performance after the intervention was conducted. The use of computer-based instruction as facilitated by teachers could improve the English-speaking performance of language learners. It is recommended that institutions utilize computer software that can enhance the speaking skills of college students.
Breaking the Rationality Assumption
Authors: - Shraddha Ramsinghani
Published: September 2024

This paper explores the role of Behavioral Economics in understanding how psychological factors influence consumer decisions, often leading to irrational choices. Traditional economics assumes rational decision-making, but in reality, emotions, cognitive biases, and social factors drive behavior. The paper highlights how illiteracy impacts decision-making, forcing short-term thinking over long-term benefits. It also discusses how psychological barriers like overconfidence, peer pressure, and emotional responses prevent rational decisions. Several Indian government policies, such as the Population Control Policy, Reservation System, and Demonetization, are reviewed to show how poor execution can lead to negative consequences. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for better education, critical thinking, and informed policymaking to improve decision-making and empower people to make rational choices. Effective decision-making requires understanding both economic and psychological factors, which can lead to more balanced, thoughtful choices for the betterment of society.

Bigamy: Law V Social Reality
Authors: - KASHIKA GOEL
Published: September 2024

This paper examines the practice of bigamy among Hindus in India, highlighting the disparity between legal prohibitions and social realities. Despite the criminalization of bigamy under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, and the Indian Penal Code, 1860, the practice continues in Indian society. The essay explores three key factors contributing to the persistence of bigamy: underreporting by women due to social pressures and abuse, the shift of second marriages into secrecy, and men exploiting legal loopholes to avoid punishment. The legal system’s rigid evidentiary requirements, particularly the burden of proof placed on the first wife to prove the completion of essential marriage rituals, further complicate the prosecution of bigamy. Cases such as *Bhaurao v. State of Maharashtra* and *Mukta Jesing v. Vallabhadas* illustrate the challenges women face in seeking justice. This paper argues that the current legal framework, while well-intentioned, is inadequate in addressing the underlying social dynamics, inadvertently allowing the practice to persist in various forms.

Authors: - Mithilesh Gupta , - Urvi Naresh Shah
Published: September 2024

Non-performing assets (NPAs) are a serious concern for banks, and they serve as a key measure of profit. Elevated levels of NPAs suggest a higher chance of credit bankruptcy, which harms banks' profitability and net worth while also reducing the value of their assets. This review provides a thorough investigation of NPAs in emerging countries, with a particular emphasis on a comparative analysis of regulatory methods in India and China. It seeks to clarify the significance of NPAs in emerging market economies by examining their role as indices of financial health, drivers of systemic concerns, and impediments to effective monetary policy. The study elucidates the performance of NPAs in banks in India and China. Additionally, the study identifies the economic, political, institutional, and social factors governing NPAs in these countries. Lastly, the study supports controlling NPAs rather than simply eliminating them, especially considering the higher inflation rates and bank margins found in these countries.

Authors: - Annah Assiimwe Tibazindwa , - Charles Mucunguzi
Published: September 2024

Most Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in developing countries all over the world are fighting poverty through various strategies such as employment promotion, agricultural and rural development among others. Microcredit has been proven as one of the most effective strategies in poverty alleviation especially through giving small loans to vulnerable populations particularly women without requiring collateral security. This study delved into exploring the adherence to operational guidelines set by the rural women savings and investment groups in Kashari County, Mbarara district. This is a qualitative study that was conducted among rural women in Kashari county Mbarara district. Key findings revealed that all members including those who can’t read and write are aware of the operational guidelines. However, only members who are involved in the day today running of the groups’ activities are more knowledgeable about the operational guidelines, lending rules and procedures and they go ahead to adhere to them. Findings further revealed that members who are not involved in daily running of the groups have not adequately adhered to the operational guidelines as expected. It was further found out that the guidelines which were easily adhered to by most members were mainly to do with subscription as members for instance paying their annual, monthly and weekly subscription and contributions. The lending guidelines were also reported to be easily and keenly followed during the loan appraisal process. This paper concludes that operational guidelines are crucial ingredients in the smooth running of rural women to the savings and investment groups. We recommend that concerted efforts must be directed towards ensuring that both active and non-active members, educated and less or non-educated members are kept abreast with operational guidelines and reminded of their obligations on regular basis.

Authors: Mohamad Amin Nur Azmi , Shaari Mohd Shahidan Shaari , Sulong Amri , Masnan Faiz
Published: September 2024

Abstract: Urbanization and economic growth are key players in molding the societal fabric of the ASEAN-5 nations, thus directly affecting life expectancy. Hence, this study utilizes the Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) approach to investigate the impact of health expenditure, economic growth, urbanization, and CO2 emissions on life expectancy in the ASEAN-5 countries from 1995 to 2020. The findings indicate that increased health expenditure and economic growth positively contribute to enhanced life expectancy in the region, highlighting the importance of healthcare investments and sustained economic development. However, the observed negative impact of urbanization underscores potential health challenges associated with rapid urban development, necessitating strategic urban planning. Policymakers are encouraged to prioritize healthcare budgets, focusing on infrastructure and accessibility, while fostering economic initiatives for indirect health benefits. Mitigating potential health risks linked to urbanization requires investments in healthcare facilities, sanitation, and public health awareness programs. This study offers nuanced insights for policymakers in formulating effective strategies to balance economic development with public health priorities in the ASEAN-5 countries.

“My Japanese is Blue, Because it Makes Me Blue”: Centering Emotion in Language Practices Through Language Mapping
Authors: Yao Yaya , Jin Yimeng
Published: September 2024

Since the social turn in applied linguistics, there has been growing interest in the role of emotion in language practices. This role is especially relevant to self-access language learning in terms of how it influences learner autonomy and motivation. With its focus on autonomy and sociality, self-access learning offers unique affordances for facilitating learner and advisor awareness of emotion in language learning. To this end, this study used an arts-based method, language mapping, for learners to express their language practices in multimodal ways. Language mapping integrates body mapping and language portraits methods to catalyze individual and group reflection anchored by embodied, emotional experiences. The researchers collaborated with a Japanese university self-access language learning center to engage seven volunteer participants in a series of two workshops. Data were gathered through participants’ language maps, narratives shared in workshops, and questionnaire responses. Findings highlight the potential of language mapping in exploring learners’ affective connections to their named languages. While mother tongues were generally portrayed as comforting, vivid, default, and unconscious, relationships to learned languages were represented through more diverse visual and verbal metaphors. Key pedagogical considerations include the impact of exemplars and group processes.

Ultrasound vs Nerve Conduction Studies: A Comparative Analysis in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Diagnosis
Authors: Hasnawi Haddani  , Henry Sugiharto  , Afriani  , Theresia Christin  , Legiran  , Ferawaty
Published: September 2024

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a prevalent entrapment neuropathy. While nerve conduction studies (NCS) remain the gold standard for diagnosis, ultrasound (USG) offers a non-invasive alternative. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of USG and NCS in CTS at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang, Indonesia.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on patients presenting with CTS symptoms. Demographic and clinical data were collected. NCS and USG assessments were performed, blinded to each other's results. USG measurements included the cross-sectional area at the carpal tunnel inlet (CSAc), proximal to the carpal tunnel (CSAp), and the difference between them (∆CSA). Diagnostic accuracy was calculated, and agreement was assessed using Cohen's kappa.
Results: A total of 86 wrists from 49 patients were included. The mean age was 52 ± 11 years, with a female predominance (86%). The majority had mild CTS based on NCS (55.8%). USG measurements showed mean CSAc of 13.1 ± 3.5 mm², CSAp of 10.6 ± 3.0 mm², and ∆CSA of 2.5 ± 0.9 mm². ∆CSA had the highest sensitivity (92.2%), specificity (88.9%), and accuracy (91.9%), with substantial agreement with NCS (Kappa = 0.65).
Conclusion: USG, particularly using ∆CSA, demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy in CTS, comparable to NCS. It can serve as a valuable tool, especially in settings with limited NCS availability.
Evidence for the evolving role of neoadjuvant and perioperative immunotherapy in resectable non-small cell lung cancer
Authors: Hansen Thomas , Hill Jonathon , Tincknell Gary , Siu Derrick , Brungs Daniel , Clingan Philip , Chantrill Lorraine , Nindra Udit
Published: September 2024

The treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is becoming increasingly complex. Standard of care management for the past decade has been adjuvant chemotherapy following curative intent resection regardless of nodal status or tumour profile. With the increased incorporation of immunotherapy in NSCLC, especially in the locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic settings, multiple studies have sought to assess its utility in early-stage disease. While there are suboptimal responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone, there is a strong rationale for the use of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in tumour downstaging, based upon the concept of enhanced T cell priming at the time of a high tumour antigen burden, and demonstrated clinically in other solid tumours, such as melanoma. In the NSCLC cancer setting, currently over 20 combinations of chemoimmunotherapy in the neoadjuvant and perioperative setting have been studied with results variable. Multiple large phase III studies have demonstrated that neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy combinations result in significant advances in pathological response, disease free and overall survival which has led to practice change across the world. Currently, combination immunotherapy regimens with novel agents targeting alternate immunomodulatory pathways are now being investigated. Given this, the landscape of treatment in resectable early-stage NSCLC has become increasingly complex. This review outlines the literature of neoadjuvant and perioperative immunotherapy and discusses its potential benefits and complexities and ongoing considerations into future research.

Published: September 2024

The study assesses the influence of governance on competence and partnership in university education in The Gambia using the situation as a mediating factor in a trilateral relationship. The study applied a questionnaire survey design using three universities as the study population. The PLS-SEM approach assesses the measurements and structural models. The study's findings established that governance significantly influences competence and partnership in university education in The Gambia. However, the situation as an environmental factor lacks the mediation capacity in the trilateral relationship. The study outcome shows differences, but only two were significantly contextual in relation to governance. The study recommends further research that adopts a qualitative approach to help provide a proper understanding of university governance in The Gambia.

Tokenização da propriedade fracionada e as implicações tributárias: atualidade e estudo de caso
Authors: Nagurnhak Gilmara Cristina
Published: September 2024

A tokenização de ativos é um conceito revolucionário que está transformando a propriedade de ativos tangíveis e intangíveis por meio da conversão de direitos sobre ativos digitais ou físicos em tokens registrados em blockchain. A presente pesquisa investiga as ramificações tributárias e os obstáculos regulatórios associados à tokenização de ativos no que se refere à propriedade fracionada, com ênfase específica em embarcações, aeronaves, imóveis e obras de arte. Utilizando métodos qualitativos e quantitativos, o estudo examina documentos legais e dados de transações de tokens. A tokenização facilita maior transparência e liquidez, democratiza o acesso a investimentos, mas apresenta desafios regulatórios e de conformidade. A pesquisa enfatiza a necessidade de modificar a legislação atual para considerar as complexidades trazidas pela propriedade fracionada por meio de tokens. A análise jurídica demonstra que a tokenização requer um forte respaldo regulatório para garantir a segurança jurídica, apesar das vantagens oferecidas. O estudo de caso do Condomínio Viverde serve como uma ilustração da viabilidade da tokenização no setor imobiliário no Brasil, destacando a importância de uma estrutura legal bem definida. Os resultados sugerem que a tokenização tem o potencial de revolucionar os mercados financeiros; no entanto, sua implementação completa exige ajustes contínuos nos frameworks legais e tributários. Esta pesquisa contribui para o corpo de conhecimento existente ao fornecer aos legisladores, reguladores, investidores e profissionais do direito insights significativos. Destaca a importância de monitorar as práticas globais e promover a conscientização sobre as vantagens e desvantagens da tokenização.
Dos clubes de prática desportiva profissional de futebol à Sociedade Anônima do Futebol
Authors: Tomaz Roberto Epifanio , Baldo Jeison Luis
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo tem por escopo estudar os Clubes de Futebol e a Sociedade Anônima do Futebol – SAF. Sendo assim, especificou-se como objetivo compreender, em breve resumo, o que são as entidades de prática desportiva profissional e as sociedades anônimas de futebol; entender os aspectos gerais das entidades de prática desportiva profissional e sociedades anônimas de futebol; analisar as legislações e doutrinas acerca dos referidos temas; identificar qual é o entendimento doutrinário referente a sociedade anônima de futebol. Para alcançar tal enfoque, a pesquisa foi dividida em dois momentos: no primeiro se faz uma análise do que são as entidades de prática desportiva profissional, e suas respectivas naturezas jurídicas e como se constituem legalmente; no segundo momento se avalia o que são as sociedades anônimas de futebol, sua natureza jurídica e constituição legal. Destarte, diante de todo o estudo realizado se elabora algumas considerações que constatam que o estado que futebol se encontra no mundo, não existe mais espaço para o amadorismo, e a forma associativa que está estabelecida em nosso país é ineficaz em diversos pontos. A SAF se demonstra como uma real possibilidade de atualização permitindo que o futebol se torne mais competitivo e, principalmente, organizado, sem as discussões de gestão e de atitudes questionáveis dentro da forma tradicional de organização nos “clubes de futebol”. Quanto à Metodologia, se utiliza a base lógica Indutiva, além das Técnicas do Referente, da Categoria, do Conceito Operacional e da Pesquisa Bibliográfica
Conceito de violência de gênero para fins de aplicação da Lei Maria da Penha (Lei 11.340/2006)
Authors: Pertille Thais Silveira , Meurer Braz Daniel
Published: September 2024

A presente pesquisa analisa a falta de uma definição concreta sobre a violência de gênero dentro do ordenamento brasileiro. De modo que o objeto do estudo é a análise do conceito de violência de gênero para fins de aplicação da Lei Maria da Penha (Lei 11.340 de 2006), uma vez que a igualdade de gêneros é um direito fundamental previsto na Constituição Brasileira. As técnicas de pesquisa para esse estudo foram a doutrinária, legal e jurisprudencial e a metodologia de procedimento foi monográfica. A técnica utilizada fora predominantemente bibliográfica e a documental. Assim, inicialmente, será realizada uma pesquisa interdisciplinar de como as doutrinas abordam o conceito de violência de gênero e, por consequência, de gênero. E, após, será feito um estudo dos julgados do Superior Tribunal de Justiça sobre o tema, a fim de compreender como esse tribunal aborda o assunto. De modo que, desta análise, depreende-se como gênero algo diferente do sexo biológico, ou seja, não é algo que nasce com a pessoa, mas sim uma construção social e cultural que projeta certas perspectivas e atribuições a indivíduos conforme seu sexo de nascença. Logo a violência de gênero emerge quando um grupo de pessoas hierarquiza a relação entre os gêneros, de modo a beneficiar um em detrimento do outro. Por fim, resta evidente uma necessidade de uma análise ampliativa desses casos, ao ponto que se deve levar em consideração a construção social feita ao redor do tema e todo seu contexto histórico.

An ambivalent appellation, acephalousness or non-centrality led to misinterpretations of the political systems and structures of Nigerian societies that obviously were not as professionalized as those in the erstwhile Empires and Emirates. Yet, the acephalous societies had political structures as much as the centralized ones. From the times of David Hume, Friedrich Hegel through to Hugh-Trevor Roper, African history faced distortions; and presented as unworthy of any kind of academic study. This was, unarguably, a crop-up from a Eurocentric misperception and misconception whereof Africa became labelled the “Dark Continent: waiting to be discovered by Europeans. Seemingly a justification of the colonization of Africa, African historians, nonetheless, became challenged to the best approaches in writing her history. Another challenge was the misconception that documentation or written history was the only acceptable history. Arab/Muslim scholars effectively covered the socio-political and economic activities in the centralized societies where they found employment as scribes or chroniclers. This study, first, attempted grasping at the contents, perspectives and methodology of African history; second, it examined the challenges inherent in the study of acephalous or stateless societies and, third, provided ample ways of addressing the challenges. The findings revealed that beyond written documents, oral traditions and the application of the interdisciplinary research approach were integral and indispensable parts in the historiography of African societies, especially of the acephalous. Using the primary and secondary sources, the study concluded that in spite of the limitations of oral traditions, they remained indispensable in interrogating the history of acephalous societies.
The Collective Mind Approached Through the Prism of Beliefs
Authors: Luiz Maria-Laura
Published: September 2024

This article aims to bring to the forefront the approach to the concept of faith from a philosophical and psychological perspective in order to unravel the functioning mechanism of the collective mind as a tool for interpreting reality. The problem raised by the study of beliefs is an area of research that could shed a lot of light on the analysis and knowledge of human behaviour within collectivities in order to unravel the mysteries that led to the emergence of totalitarianism. In order to analyse the concept of faith from a philosophical perspective, this paper will approach a synthetic analysis through three great thinkersː David Hume, Gustave Le Bon and José Ortega y Gasset, authors who have glimpsed the immense potential offered by understanding these levers for deciphering historical events.
Approaching the Concept of Mass from a 20th Century Perspective
Authors: Luiz Maria-Laura
Published: September 2024

This article aims to bring to the forefront the approach to the concept of mass from multiple perspectives - psychological, psychoanalytical, philosophical and anthropological - in order to explain a unique historical phenomenon that has remained in the collective memory as the period when the human spirit lost its way in the context of massification and globalization. The aim of this article is to use the concept of mass to study themes with deep resonances in philosophy such as depersonalisation, alienation and loss of discernment in order to create a panoramic view of the causes behind the emergence of totalitarianism.
The History and Management of the Materials of the Kuomintang People Such as Huang Fu-Focusing On American Archival Institution
Authors: Chen Wenfeng , Wang Yanzhi
Published: September 2024

Huang Fu was important in the political history of the Republic of China. But regarded as a pro-Japanese "traitor", there are few studies on him in China and most of his original materials aren't in mainland China. Against this background, this article focuses on Huang Fu. It determines the collection and utilization of his materials by analyzing books, papers and references. It also introduces in detail the collection information of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and the Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Columbia University based on archive books and official website information. It aims to provide material storage locations for modern and contemporary history researchers to promote in-depth research on Huang Fu and other Kuomintang figures in the Republic of China period.

Los desechos sólidos, generados diariamente por los seres humanos y no biodegradables, representan un foco significativo de contaminación. Por ello, es crucial establecer estrategias y programas de clasificación adecuados para mitigar los efectos negativos sobre la salud humana, particularmente en grupos vulnerables como adultos mayores y personas con discapacidades. De allí parte que se efectúe esta investigación con el objetivo de analizar la implementación del programa de clasificación adecuada de desechos sólidos dirigida a los adultos mayores y personas con discapacidad. El enfoque es cualitativo y el tipo documental. Para concretarla se realizó una revisión bibliográfica abarcando investigaciones publicadas entre 2018 y 2023, de los cuales se seleccionaron 10 trabajos relevantes para su análisis. los resultados permitieron conocer que la gestión adecuada de residuos es esencial para el desarrollo sostenible, ya que impacta directamente en la salud, la calidad del aire y del agua, y contribuye a los esfuerzos globales contra el cambio climático. Se concluye que es importante adoptar prácticas sostenibles, como la segregación, el reciclaje, el compostaje y la conversión de residuos en energía, ya que esta beneficia tanto al medio ambiente como a la salud de los diferentes grupos de la sociedad.

NANOSTRUCTURE LIPID CARRIER TECHNOLOGY IN DRUG DELIVERY: ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION, PREPARATION METHOD, CHARACTERIZATION, AND APPLICATION FOR ANTI-AGING
Authors: Muliana Muliana , Alatas Fikri
Published: September 2024

The new method, known as nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) in drug delivery systems, has the potential to increase therapeutic efficacy, stability, and bioavailability. This systematic literature review aimed to provide a detailed summary of NLC technology in drug delivery systems, including routes of administration, preparation methods, characterization, and utilization for the delivery of anti-aging active ingredients in cosmetics. To collect scholarly articles on NLCs, we employed a systematic search method using Google Scholar and PubMed. After the screening process, 53 pertinent papers out of 102 articles were chosen for descriptive analysis. NLC exhibit significant promise in many drug delivery applications, including oral, topical, parenteral, and transmucosal routes, with many benefits, including improved bioavailability, stability, and drug penetration through the skin, cornea, and brain. Moreover, NLC technology has been effectively applied for the administration of drugs, including anti-aging drugs. Topical anti-aging preparations generally use synthetic or natural active ingredients. However, synthetic ingredients are often less stable and can irritate skin. NLC can protect and control the release of active ingredients, thereby reducing the risk of irritation. NLC can also improve the penetration of active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin, allowing it to reach the dermis layer, which is responsible for most skin aging. The efficient absorption capacity of NLC technology in topical preparations presents new opportunities for anti-aging cosmetic product development owing to its effectiveness in skin penetration.
