Decolonising and Humanising Pedagogies in South African Postgraduate Education
Authors: Maditsi Mothusiotsile Edwin , Bhuda Monicca Thulisile
Published: August 2023

Indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) have been marginalized in higher education institutions that have mostly followed Western paradigms of teaching, learning, and research. The prevalence of western pedagogies and worldviews has prompted certain stakeholders, such as the #FeesMustFall movement, to ask for the decolonization and humanization of South African higher education institutions' curricula. This chapter employed a qualitative document analysis (QDA) method to investigate how IKS could be used as a foundation for decolonizing and humanizing pedagogies at South African universities. It used Ubuntu's indigenous philosophy to elicit meaning, understanding, and case studies in which Ubuntu enshrines norms and values commensurate with African worldviews and epistemologies in order to humanize pedagogies. The study concludes that IKS is a social capital that can change the way universities design and apply pedagogies for teaching, learning, and research. The indigenous pedagogical praxis is the link between decolonization and humanization of higher education.

Authors: Omarsaib Mousin , Naicker Nalindren , Rajkoomar Mogiveny
Published: August 2023

Indigenous knowledge is an emerging theme in humanistic scholarly conversations. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to present a global perspective of teaching practices related to indigenous knowledge in the Library and Information Science (LIS) field as it lends itself to a humanistic approach. The aim was to identify how indigenous knowledge is integrated into the LIS curriculum. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses methodology was used to review the literature. Key findings revealed that integrated teaching practices and indigenous knowledge are still emerging topics at LIS schools. The study recommends academics from LIS schools earnestly contribute to global literature by sharing their knowledge on teaching practices 'vis-a-vis' indigenous knowledge. Globally, this would ensure LIS academics tread common ground in integrating indigenous knowledge into the curriculum by using appropriate teaching practices. Ultimately, developing future LIS graduates as custodians of indigenous knowledge in industry.
Phytoplankton community as monitoring tool in the terminal stretch of a micro-tidal estuary facing the Tyrrhenian Sea
Authors: Bolinesi Francesco , Serino Emanuela , Carotenuto Angelo , Fanina Silvia , Mangoni Olga
Published: August 2023

Mediterranean coastal systems, particularly those characterized by river mouths, have played an important role in the history of human civilization, thanks to unique species assemblages, a high biodiversity, and complex ecological interactions. The overlapping of multiple cross-scale effects, triggered by the ongoing climate change, makes these systems particularly important sites for ecological studies. Here, we have investigated the phytoplankton community structure in the terminal stretch of the Sele River (Tyrrhenian Sea) under two different hydrological regimes: i) with river mouth occluded by sediments preventing water exchange with the sea; ii) with river mouth completely opened, which allowed the maximum water mass exchanges between the river and the sea. The strong variations in physical-chemical properties of the water column, the point-distribution of total phytoplankton biomass, and the dominance of cryptophytes and cyanophytes under occluded and opened river mouth, respectively, indicate the presence of strong allogenic pressures acting on the system. Our data suggest that the monitoring of phytoplankton communities in the terminal stretch of micro-tidal estuaries, could be a useful tool for studying the extent of climate change underway in Mediterranean coastal marine areas.

A Case Report of Renal Dysgenesis with Isolated Aortic Dissection Type B: Can it be a Chance Association?
Authors: Rawat Shubham Singh , Darbari Anshuman , Kumar Pardeep , Kumar Ajay
Published: August 2023

Aortic dissection can occur in the hypertensive individual, but its presentation as an isolated autonephrectomy is extremely rare. We, here, present a rare case of hypertension, probably secondary to renal dysgenesis, in a 20-year-old female. She presented with persistent headaches and episodes of hypertensive urgency. Later, we found, on computed tomography, a localized dissection flap in the descending abdominal aorta around the renal artery level. After a diagnostic workup, we reached the final diagnosis of renal dysgenesis with isolated abdominal aortic dissection type B. Isolated abdominal type B aortic dissection can be managed conservatively; however, the patient needs to be followed up regularly so that timely intervention can be done if the need arises.
Continuous Positional Payoffs
Authors: Kozachinskiy Alexander
Published: August 2023

What payoffs are positionally determined for deterministic two-player
antagonistic games on finite directed graphs? In this paper we study this
question for payoffs that are continuous. The main reason why continuous
positionally determined payoffs are interesting is that they include the
multi-discounted payoffs.
We show that for continuous payoffs, positional determinacy is equivalent to
a simple property called prefix-monotonicity. We provide three proofs of it,
using three major techniques of establishing positional determinacy --
inductive technique, fixed point technique and strategy improvement technique.
A combination of these approaches provides us with better understanding of the
structure of continuous positionally determined payoffs as well as with some
algorithmic results.

¿Qué y por qué perdonar? Una revisión deflacionaria de la moralidad del perdón
Authors: Serrano Franco Francisco Javier , Cázares Blanco María del Rocío
Published: August 2023

En la literatura reciente sobre el perdón domina un enfoque que nos parece excesivamente moralizante y que, argumentamos, proviene de intentar ofrecer una explicación que subsume a todas las instancias de perdón bajo una imagen única o paradigmática. Pretendemos defender una concepción del perdón que reconoce en mayor medida la heterogeneidad de sus instancias y, de ese modo, también tiene un efecto deflacionario sobre los excesos moralizantes. Identificar distintos tipos de relaciones interpersonales y sus expectativas de reciprocidad características será la base para entender, de manera diferenciada, qué es lo que constituye una ofensa y las varias condiciones del perdón.
Crítica de la democracia actual desde Aristóteles
Authors: Villa Sánchez José Alfonso
Published: August 2023

Este estudio tiene por objetivo meditar sobre los límites y alcances de la democracia. Parte del hecho de que en nuestro tiempo hay una comprensión de término medio que toma como un hecho incuestionable que el mejor régimen de gobierno para un pueblo es la democracia. El recurso a la Política de Aristóteles aporta una serie de valiosos argumentos para mostrar cuáles son los límites y los alcances de un régimen de gobierno, sea la democracia o cualquier otro, y para descubrir el objeto más importante de toda reflexión filosófica sobre la vida política: el logos estético común sobre el que se levanta cualquier régimen de gobierno. La oligarquía, la plutocracia y la representación se ofrecen como tres de los graves problemas que agobian actualmente a la democracia.

Published: August 2023

Este artigo analisa como as práticas agroecológicas, desenvolvidas pelos agricultores do Grupo para Consumo Agroecológico (GRUCA), da Região Metropolitana de Belém (RMB) e proximidades, contribuem para a transformação da paisagem. A pesquisa, de abordagem qualitativa, foi realizada através de pesquisa de campo com observação participante, e coleta de dados secundários com imagens de satélite. As análises aconteceram com base em duas etapas que se complementam: imagens de satélite e história de vida dos agricultores de modo a compreender as mudanças na paisagem. Os resultados deste trabalho evidenciam que as práticas agroecológicas dos agricultores do GRUCA apresentam-se como alternativas para a transformação de paisagens com baixa agrobiodiversidade resultante de atividades econômicas predatórias em paisagens agrobiodiversas. Ressalta-se, ainda, que as práticas agroecológicas dos agricultores foram aperfeiçoadas a partir de suas trajetórias de vida, da interação com os recursos naturais, técnicos, financeiros e de uma rede de pessoas e movimentos sociais disponíveis no território. Tal perspectiva se reflete na diversidade de práticas e também de paisagens.

In this paper, the notion of picture fuzzy subspace of a crisp vector space is established and some related properties are explored on the basis of some basic operations (intersection, Cartesian product, union, (θ, ϕ, ψ)-cut etc.) on picture fuzzy sets. Direct sum of two picture fuzzy subspaces is initiated here over the direct sum of two crisp vector spaces. Also, the concepts of picture fuzzy linear transformation and picture fuzzy linearly independent set of vectors are introduced and some corresponding results are presented. Isomorphism between two picture fuzzy subspaces is developed here as an extension of isomorphism between two fuzzy subspaces

Authors:   Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Kulyakwave Peter David , Shiwei Xu , Wen Yu
Published: August 2023

Rural farmers are facing different challenges, resulting from climate change and weather variability, which pose threats in crop production and productivity. Small scale farmers try to cope with the prevailing situations by adjusting to different mechanisms including adopting irrigation services. This study seeks to determine the factors influencing rice farmers’ decision to adopt irrigation technology and find out the significant contribution of irrigation to rice yields in the Mbeya Region of Tanzania. Data were collected through structured questionnaires, interviews, and focus group discussions. Data analyses were performed by using descriptive statistics, logistic regression, and ordinary least square (OLS) regression by STATA (v13). The descriptive statistics characterized households’ socio-demographic and economic characteristics. Logistic regression results affirmed that households’ education, labor size, meteorological information, access to financial services, extension services and previous farm outputs significantly influenced irrigation adoption by farmers. Results from OLS regression confirmed that irrigation significantly contributed about 3.2 % to rice yield at P>0.05 level. The study recommends the adoption of irrigation technology in Tanzania as means of coping strategy to the negative impact of climate change and weather variations.
Study on the Spatio-temporal Characteristics of Soundscape in Famous Historical and Cultural Towns: a Case Study of Labrang Town, Xiahe County, China
Authors:   Northwest Normal University, Yan Cuixia , Wang Lucang , Li Wei
Published: August 2023

This study based on field measurements of the acoustic objective data of Labrang town, draws a sound level map and depicts the soundscape characteristics from the perspective of space-time. The distribution of sound levels is imbalanced in the old urban area of Labrang town. The spatial characteristics show that the eastern region has higher sound levels than does the western region; the core area, higher than the edge area; and the nodular area, higher than the homogeneous area. In the typical “Tawa” community and temple area, the sound level is low, and there is a high level of sound in the area along the traffic line and the “nodule area”. The spatial distribution of the soundscapes is closely related to the urban functional area and crowd behaviour activities. The time characteristic has an obvious fluctuation and particularity. The changes in sound levels and the characteristic of soundscapes are related to the life rhythms of monks and residents. From the point of view of sound protection in historic and cultural cities, it is necessary to pay attention to the construction of soundscapes in order to optimize the urban functional structure and strengthen the management of the sound environment.

Published: August 2023

This research aims to identify threatened bird species in wetland areas and define temporal changes occurring among species based on local observations and experiences. Survey, ethnobiology workshops, key informant interviews and focus group discussions were approaches employed in the collection of primary data from the chosen participants residing in the coastal communities in Central Negros, Philippines. The threatened wetland bird species in these sites are generally perceived as “abundant” as indicated by their perceived common presence. The ten sites also shared two vulnerable species, Egretta eulophotes,locally known as as Tulabong by locals and Anas luzonica called Pato ilahas by the natives. The Numenius madagascariensis is considered endangered and eight near threatened bird species (IUCN Red list), Numenius arquata, Limnodromus semipalmatus, Charadrius peronii, Limosa limosa, Limosa lapponica, Tringa brevipes, Calidris ruficollis and Calidris ferruginea, were validated by locals in almost all of the study sites. However, some threatened species were observed to have disappeared and declined in these areas. An updated list of threatened species found in coastal wetland cities and municipalities in the central area of Negros Occidental was produced that shall serve as basis for crafting relevant programs to properly manage, conserve and develop these wetland areas.

This study aims to determine the effect of small-sided game training on the accuracy of passing and dribbling skills in 10 years old junior soccer players. This study uses an experimental method that uses a qualitative approach, with a one-group pre-test post-test design. The subjects of this study were 30 junior soccer players aged 10 years old. The instrument used to measure passing accuracy and dribbling ability is a basic soccer ability test. Data analysis in this study used a t-test with a significant value of 0.05. The dribbling data hypothesis test uses the paired t-test, while the passing data uses the Wilcoxon test. The results of the descriptive analysis showed that there was a significant effect of small sided game training on improving the dribbling abilities of junior soccer players (p = 0.000 < 0.05). The results of the Wilcoxon test on passing data showed that small sided game training also had a significant effect on improving the passing abilities of junior soccer players (p = 0.000 < 0.05) as indicated by the N value in the positive ranks of 30, which means that all research subjects experienced an increase. Knowing the descriptive results and testing the hypothesis, it was concluded that the application of small sided game training during training was very efficient in improving basic soccer technical skills, especially passing and dribbling. Small sided game practice has a far greater impact on a player's technical and tactical development than normal play. Players experience more touches on the ball and more learning moments in small sided games compared to normal games.

Synchronous Multifocal Early Gastric Cancer: How Important is A Meticulous Endoscopic Examination? A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors:   Department of Surgery of the Upper Digestive System, Aliança /Rede D’Or São Luiz Hospital Group, Salvador 41920-900, Bahia, Brazil, Silano Flávio
Published: August 2023

Introduction: The incidence rate of synchronous early gastric cancer is reported to be 5% to 15%, and several risk factors that increase its incidence have already been identified. Synchronous lesions are reported to be neglected in 32.4% of early gastric neoplasia cases. Method: Case report of a 75-year-old woman, with mucosa atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, with early gastric adenocarcinoma in antrum, CT staging without alterations, underwent surgical treatment using endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Results: The anatomopathological result demonstrated a lesion of 2 cm, a well-differentiated non-ulcerated adenocarcinoma, without lymphatic-vascular invasion, with a positive deep submucosal margin, eCURE C-2. A D1+ complementary laparoscopic partial gastrectomy was performed. The analyzes of the surgical specimens showed an ESD area of ulcer scar without tumor and another early gastric cancer (T1a) at 2.2 cm distance with normal mucosa between them. Thirty six lymph nodes were free of disease. Conclusion: In this case, the patient had 3 risk factors for synchronic injury, but it was only discovered during the salvage gastrectomy. Thorough endoscopy should be performed in all patients and even more so in patients with risk factors. Failure to recognize these lesions can result in evolution to advanced cancer
Early Clues in Diagnosing Fournier’s Gangrene
Authors:   Department of General Surgery, La Trobe Regional Hospital, Traralgon, Victoria, Australia, Phillipos Joseph
Published: August 2023

Necrotizing Fasciitis has a high mortality if not managed early, yet early diagnosis is inherently difficult. The external tissue is initially unaffected, therefore we rely on secondary signs of toxicity, which often represent an already established systemic infection. It typically effects immunocompromised patients, who are slow to manifest these secondary signs, complicating the diagnosis further. We present a case of an immunocompromised patient, who did not manifest typical signs of systemic infection. Atrial Fibrillation was the first clue to an underlying infection, and initially the only localising infective source was a hydrocele. Cutaneous features in keeping with a Fournier’s Gangrene occurred forty-eight hours later. This case highlights the difficulty in diagnosing Fournier’s Gangrene, and the possibility that a hydrocele in a septic patient may be reactive to a more sinister underlying necrotizing infection.

For many years, India has been one of the top countries with an unnaturally skewed gender ratio towards the male gender. This implies the clear evidence of pre-natal selection and/or selective abortion in the country. While a lot of research has been conducted encapsulating the probable cultural factors (on a country-wide level) that adversely affect the gender ratio, only a few have used regression models to model the relationship between factors such as literacy rate and sex ratio. Hence, in this paper, I have utilised data that spans over 30 years from the Reserve Bank of India to model the relationship of various socio-economic factors such as poverty rate and literacy rate with the sex ratio in various Indian states. This was done through a multi-level model with the Indian states as the second level, in order to model the variation in sex-ratio due to the cultural and historical diversity in Indian states as well. It was found that over 90 per cent of variance in sex ratio could be explained through the random effects of Indian states. Findings also indicate a positive relationship of sex ratio with literacy rate and poverty rate. A negative relationship between the percentage of rural population in an Indian state and its sex ratio was also found.

Authors: Bahloul Rim
Published: August 2023

This paper examines the impact of inflation on economic growth between 1970 and 2020 using ARDL model. The results confirm a negative relationship between inflation and economic growth both in the short-term and in the long-term. We also found that money supply negatively affects economic growth in the long-term while it is fragile in the shortterm. However, the exchange rate has a negative and insignificant impact on economic growth both in the short-run and in the long-run. Therefore, it is necessary to apply some recommendations to fight inflation by trying to moderate it which increases productivity and consequently affects economic growth positively.

This study aims to analyze the quality of service in the character education model of caring for the environment at SMP IT Dinamika Umat using the Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) method. The study respondents were 30 students who filled out questionnaires to assess the level of importance (Level of Importance / Yi) and level of performance (Level of Performance / Xi) of several attributes that are indicators of service quality. The results showed that there are attributes that have a high level of importance but low performance (Quadrant I), attributes that have a high level of importance and performance (Quadrant II), and attributes with low importance but high performance (Quadrant III). Based on this analysis, this study recommends priority improvement for attributes in Quadrant I, maintenance of achievement in attributes in Quadrant II, and maintaining stability in attributes in Quadrant III to improve the overall quality of service in the model of environmental care character education at SMP IT Dynamics Umat.
Managerial Shakespeare and TROILUS AND CRESSIDA
Authors: Ángel-Luis Pujante  , Gregor Keith
Published: August 2023

From the 1990s a new development has taken place within the framework of ‘Shakespeare in popular culture’, and more specifically of so-called ‘Self-help Shakespeare’, namely what Douglas Lanier has termed ‘the Shakespeare corporate-management manual’. What underlies them all is the notion that, if Shakespeare is famous for portraying universal human nature, he has a good deal to teach the world of business and management. To this effect, they provide quotations and discussions of a number of plays, particularly Henry V, Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, Julius Caesar and The Merchant of Venice. The value and usefulness of these manuals have been contested, but they could also be objected to as regards the scant attention paid to some other Shakespearean plays, such as Timon of Athens and Troilus and Cressida. It is our contention that, if we were to accept and follow the logic and aims of their authors, Troilus and Cressida could be at least as relevant to business and management as those other plays. This is so not only in its implications for managerial leadership and decision-making, but also on the grounds of more abstract but applicable notions of value and marketability, which are both defended —and opposed— in the play. This paper will seek to explain these notions both in an early-modern context and in their possible relevance to modern entrepreneurial activity.

This study focuses on the link between audit committee resources and accounting reporting quality proxy by accrual quality of listed Oil and Gas firms in Nigeria. The aim is to examine whether audit committee variables such as female gender, size, and accounting certification expert have an oversight effect on financial reporting quality. The study employed ex-post facto and correlational research designs and adopted agency theory to underpin the study. The population of the study is twelve (12) oil and gas firms listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group as of December 31, 2021. The study covered a- ten years period from 2012 to 2021. Ten (10) oil and gas firms were sampled using the purposive sampling method. The information is taken from audited yearly accounts of the sampled firms, which formed a panel data set that was analyzed using the multiple regression method of analysis. The study provides empirical evidence that Audit Committee-female gender (ACFG), Audit Committee Size (ACSZ), and Audit Committee Accounting Certification expert (ACAE) influence the Financial Reporting Quality of listed Oil and Gas firms in Nigeria. Policymakers should provide policy on the composition of the committee human resources to spelt out their functions effectively, hence we endorsed that the selection of autonomous directors ought to be built on the prior annals of the person’s history in terms of performance relatively. The government should consider the practicality of the results and make provision for at least two accounting certification resources in the audit committee to grip multifaceted financial entities more effectively. Similarly, females genders are multitasking, and they are required to better accounting norms, these are in other to secure the demand of investors generally in Oil and Gas firms listed in Nigeria.

Authors: Uji Dr.Terese
Published: August 2023

The overdependence of Nigeria on external borrowing to finance capital projects amidst persistent fluctuations in exchange rate had posed challenges for economic growth in Nigeria. This study analysed the impact of external debt stock and exchange rate fluctuations on economic growth. Time series data on the variables were sourced from the world development index and the Central Bank of Nigeria from 1981-2021. The outcome of Zivot-Andrews indicated that all variables were integrated of order I(1), the Johansen cointegration confirmed the existence of long run relationship among the variables. The study found from the analysis of structural VAR that external debt stock and external debt service had significant negative impact on economic growth in Nigeria while exchange rate fluctuations positively impact on economic growth. However, the analysis of the transmission effect revealed that external debt stock negatively affects economic growth through exchange rate volatilities. The study therefore recommended borrowing to finance only capital projects and not recurrent expenditures, and the execution of these projects should be paid in domestic currencies to increase demand for naira.
