Authors: Sewoyehbaa Marcel , Nyounibe Pekiaka Zebedee , Bienvenue Mboka Nyamsi Georges
Published: December 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the determinants of self-employment in the Ndop Central sub-division in the North West Region of Cameroon. Specifically, the study aimed to examine the usefulness of technical education and finance in the creation of self-employment in the sub-division.
Methods: Using a survey research design, data were collected from primary sources with the help of a questionnaire. The convenience sampling technique was used to collect the needed data from a sample of 384 people from three villages of the sub-division. Binary logistics was used to analyze the data.
Results: Results revealed that the coefficient of technical education was significant and negative (-2.6581). This finding signifies that graduates from the technical system of education are less likely to join self-employment as compared to graduates of general education background. Also, the availability of finance was seen to have a negative effect on the probability of being self-employed (-0.0632). It implies that individuals who have easy access to loans are less likely to be self-employed.
Implication: The study is expected to guide the government to revisit the curriculum and focus of technical education in the country, as regards its contribution to the unemployment problem of the country. The study also points to the fact that those who have access to loans are not those who deserve it.

Energy benchmark and energy saving potential in the pulp and paper industry
Authors: Le-Anh Tuan
Published: December 2023

In this research, I established an energy benchmark for the pulp and paper industry of Vietnam. I, therefore, focus on three major paper product families, including packaging paper, printing and writing paper, and tissue paper. In this research, I use specific energy consumption (SEC) as the energy performance indicator (EnPI) for computing energy benchmarks for the main sub-sectors in the pulp and paper industry of Vietnam. The factories in the pulp and paper industry of Vietnam are divided into three production scales, and the energy benchmarks are specified by production scales. Energy surveys and energy audits have been used to calculate energy benchmarks. Here, I establish the energy benchmark for the main sub-sectors in the pulp and paper industry of Vietnam according to the three production scales. I also estimate the energy saving potential for the pulp and paper industry of Vietnam based on surveying and auditing results.
Modelling the spatial spread of COVID-19 in a German district using a diffusion model
Authors: Schäfer Moritz , Heidrich Peter , Götz Thomas
Published: December 2023

In this study, we focus on modeling the local spread of COVID-19 infections. As the pandemic continues and new variants or future pandemics can emerge, modelling the early stages of infection spread becomes crucial, especially as limited medical data might be available initially. Therefore, our aim is to gain a better understanding of the diffusion dynamics on smaller scales using partial differential equation (PDE) models. Previous works have already presented various methods to model the spatial spread of diseases, but, due to a lack of data on regional or even local scale, few actually applied their models on real disease courses in order to describe the behaviour of the disease or estimate parameters. We use medical data from both the Robert-Koch-Institute (RKI) and the Birkenfeld district government for parameter estimation within a single German district, Birkenfeld in Rhineland-Palatinate, during the second wave of the pandemic in autumn 2020 and winter 2020–21. This district can be seen as a typical middle-European region, characterized by its (mainly) rural nature and daily commuter movements towards metropolitan areas. A basic reaction-diffusion model used for spatial COVID spread, which includes compartments for susceptibles, exposed, infected, recovered, and the total population, is used to describe the spatio-temporal spread of infections. The transmission rate, recovery rate, initial infected values, detection rate, and diffusivity rate are considered as parameters to be estimated using the reported daily data and least square fit. This work also features an emphasis on numerical methods which will be used to describe the diffusion on arbitrary two-dimensional domains. Two numerical optimization techniques for parameter fitting are used: the Metropolis algorithm and the adjoint method. Two different methods, the Crank-Nicholson method and a finite element method, which are used according to the requirements of the respective optimization method are used to solve the PDE system. This way, the two methods are compared and validated and provide similar results with good approximation of the infected in both the district and the respective sub-districts.

Authors: Cavé Alizé
Published: December 2023

À partir d’une enquête doctorale portant sur une fédération du Secours populaire français, cet article propose d’interroger tout d’abord les reconfigurations de la posture de la chercheuse sur son terrain engendrées par le confinement, en permettant le passage d’une observation participante à une participation observante ; et d’analyser ensuite la manière dont ces reconfigurations ont produit de nouvelles connaissances sur l’association. Ces dernières sont liées à la révélation des mécanismes de domination des bénévoles sur les bénéficiaires, et particulièrement des « violences alimentaires », du « pouvoir discrétionnaire » et de l’« érosion des sentiments » que le confinement a contribué à exacerber.
Knowledge Management in Family Firms
Authors: Andrade-Valbuena Nelson Andres , Soto Sergio A. Olavarrieta , Perez Miguel Zapata
Published: December 2023

Knowledge management has received increasing attention from scholars. However, the understanding of this literature in the context of family firms remains fragmented. Different positions suggest that the inherent features of family businesses indicate the importance of considering the context. In this chapter, the authors aim to extend the understanding of knowledge management in the context of family firms. They achieve this by identifying the intellectual structure and evolution of the knowledge management corpus using bibliometric techniques applied to authors, universities, countries, and supranational regions. The analysis is complemented by the application of distance-based mapping techniques at the level of authors and publishers, enabling exploration of the historical dynamics and knowledge flows among management disciplines. The contribution of this chapter to the management literature lies in the provision of deep insights into this young and fertile stream of research, ultimately building bridges between both fields of research.

Authors: Jewel Ziaul Islam
Published: December 2023

The unprecedented disruption brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on educational activities. UNESCO reports that in April 2020, 185 countries' higher education institutions closed entirely, affecting more than one billion students worldwide. The UN Secretary-General described the threat as a once-in-a-lifetime chance to re-examine the concept of education, implement digital technology-based measures, and roll out new e-learning methodologies. Therefore, educational institutes had to quickly adapt to online teaching due to this sudden change, using all available technological resources. This chapter is written using a meta-analysis technique, and relevant literature was reviewed to convey the essence of ongoing efforts to create an effective e-learning system. The main objective of the chapter is to provide pertinent insights into how Covid- 19 has imposed challenges on global higher education and how these challenges can contribute to creating opportunities for competitive and high-quality e-learning.
Equality, Diversity, and Access in Digitalized Teaching in Higher Education
Authors: Gwala Ranson Sifiso , Mashau Pfano
Published: December 2023

There has been a slow uptake of distance education over a period of time. However, this has gradually changed to online education as many institutions adopted digitalisation. COVID-19 brought about forced digitalisation of education with a number of challenges that came to the fore. The study utilised a review of peer reviewed journal articles in Google Scholar and Web of Science databases. The finding shows that digital equity, digital diversity, access to the internet and electricity, academic capitalism, and limitations of testing and examination digital systems were the top emerging themes. Access, equality, and equity in education were still a challenge under face-to-face platforms, but online education has worsened the challenges even more. The integrity in examination and credibility of qualifications attained through such a system can be brought into question if examination monitoring and invigilation are not adequately addressed. Attendance of students to these platforms as logging on, is not an indicator of attendance, presence and active learning raises challenges.
Online vs. Contact Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
Authors: Khumalo Njabulo
Published: December 2023

Online and contact teaching and learning in higher education are two separate methods with one goal of transferring ideas and knowledge and contributing to students' success. The chapter aims to provide and compare the good and bad of the two methods to find how institutions of higher learning can use them effectively and efficiently worldwide. The focus of the chapter builds from comparing a theory of (intrinsic and extrinsic) factors, student accommodation, application, selection and registration, teaching and learning platforms, discipline and quality, assessments and examination, connectivity, hitting two birds with one stone, role players, larger classes and resources, protests, cost vs. affordability, and human resources planning. The chapter's recommendation for higher education adopts both methods (hybrid/blended) learning for the benefit of all students, undergraduate and postgraduate. Further, recommend a strategy of 30 percent online and 70 percent in person.
Was COVID-19 a Pandemic of Privilege for Higher Education Students in the Global South?
Authors: Luthuli Manono Malusi
Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 outbreak prompted the unforeseen and premature recess of many institutions of higher education in the global south as the safety of students and staff was a primary priority. To avoid losing time on the academic calendar, many institutions resorted to an adapted strategy of teaching and learning known as e-learning. E-learning requires one to have access to equipment, such as a laptop, and internet at home – two things that students in the global south did not previously need for higher education, nor would they have foreseen that they would need it. One of the defining characteristics of privilege is having access to resources to tend to unforeseen needs and wants—due to the prevailing inequality across the global south, there are many who do not have access to such resources. There is limited literature exploring the intersecting implications of the COVID-19 pandemic and privilege in the global south. In this commentary, the authors discuss how and why coping with the COVID-19 pandemic required a certain level of privilege for higher education students in the global south.

Published: December 2023

Yoga, an ancient practise of humankind, attempts to promote a lifestyle that is free of maliciousness with emphasis on inculcating qualities that would aid the individual in living a life that is truly actualizing. Practise of yoga is not limited to holding specific asanas but various components of yoga such as pranayama, pratyahara, etc.; all attempt to enhance an individual's wellbeing. The chapter has contextualized yoga therapy including pranayama, mudras, and chakras to biopsychosocial models, and attempted to identify yogic practises that bring holistic enhancement. Yoga, being cost-effective, and having no side effects, unlike pharmacological treatments, can be used as an adjunctive therapeutic agent in improving symptoms or improving mood and reducing stress. However, it is important to note the feasibility and limitations of yoga interventions, like proper trained professionals to minimize any ill effects. The chapter attempted to promote the practise of yoga as an adjunctive form of treatment which would thereby aid in improving biopsychosocial wellbeing.

Adequacy of Regulatory Framework to Minimize Disputes in Construction Projects
Authors: Malkanthi S. N. , Buraitha A. G. M.
Published: December 2023

The construction industry is a competitive, complicated environment where people with various skills, perspectives, and levels of knowledge. Conflicts are unavoidable in this complicated setting due to differences in perspectives among project participants. Conflicts quickly develop into disagreements if they are not handled properly. The end goals of every construction project are to reduce cost, improve quality, and complete the job on schedule. One of the biggest things that prevents the construction project from being successfully finished is disputes. Construction conflicts have become significantly more common and complex in recent years. Consequently, it's critical to understand what leads to disagreements. However, in the event of a dispute, Dispute Resolution Methods are implemented to resolve differences and prevent the breach of relationship and communication between the parties to achieve the construction project in the desired time, budget, and quality. The purpose of this study was to identify and evaluate the main factors that contribute to building disputes. Through a comprehensive literature review, 39 root causes of construction disputes were identified under seven categories namely client-related, contractor-related, design-related, contract-related, human behavior-related, project-related, and external factors. The responses gathered from construction industry specialists in Sri Lanka via a questionnaire survey were used to determine the significance of those indicated factors by converting them to the Relative Importance Index(RII). Results showed that the project-related category is the most significant category that causes disputes in construction projects. Additionally, correlation analysis shows that there is a strong relationship among the dispute-causing categories. Also, the respondents are familiar with “arbitration” as the dispute resolution method and they are satisfied with the “conditions of contract” as a Regulatory framework for dispute resolution. The findings support the notion that construction disputes are a source of concern for every project and that the best way to address this issue is to prevent and cautiously manage them to ensure the smooth operation of the construction process.

Sustainability and Net Zero climate agreements – a transatlantic antitrust perspective
Authors: Dolmans Maurits , Lin Wanjie , Hollis Jessica
Published: December 2023

The climate crisis requires a transition to a Net Zero economy. Such a transition is possible only through concerted public and private action. While a number of financial institutions and insurance companies had agreed to align their activities with Net Zero targets, reconsidering support for new coal and fossil fuel projects, these initiatives have come under attack from political groups in the US, who have labelled such agreements ‘collective boycotts’. Such accusations feed a collective action problem, and thus hinder private sector cooperation.

This article discusses the background to Net Zero Agreements, and the recent antitrust criticisms, under US, EU and UK antitrust law and precedent. Net Zero Agreements can alleviate market failures, resolve collective action problems, and improve consumer welfare by lowering the potentially huge costs to consumers of an unmitigated climate crisis. Under a rule of reason, antitrust authorities and courts in the US, EU, and UK can and should give room for private sector cooperation between companies pursuing an effective transition to a clean economy, where these agreements correct market failures and resolve collective action problems.
Arena-Independent Finite-Memory Determinacy in Stochastic Games
Authors: Bouyer Patricia , Oualhadj Youssouf , Randour Mickael , Vandenhove Pierre
Published: December 2023

We study stochastic zero-sum games on graphs, which are prevalent tools to
model decision-making in presence of an antagonistic opponent in a random
environment. In this setting, an important question is the one of strategy
complexity: what kinds of strategies are sufficient or required to play
optimally (e.g., randomization or memory requirements)? Our contributions
further the understanding of arena-independent finite-memory (AIFM)
determinacy, i.e., the study of objectives for which memory is needed, but in a
way that only depends on limited parameters of the game graphs. First, we show
that objectives for which pure AIFM strategies suffice to play optimally also
admit pure AIFM subgame perfect strategies. Second, we show that we can reduce
the study of objectives for which pure AIFM strategies suffice in two-player
stochastic games to the easier study of one-player stochastic games (i.e.,
Markov decision processes). Third, we characterize the sufficiency of AIFM
strategies through two intuitive properties of objectives. This work extends a
line of research started on deterministic games to stochastic ones.

El conocimiento científico desarrollado a través de posgrados pertenecientes al Sistema Nacional de Posgrados-SNP del Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología-CONACYT en México, configuran un proceso de investigación metodológica de carácter científico que aportan a través de la ciencia básica y aplicada temas emergentes y de interés público que impactan de forma directa en la sociedad. La necesidad de comprender y hacer llegar a los actores del sector público, social o privado la inversión en la formación de científicos de diferentes ciencias se asocia a una acción denominada “retribución social” en el que de forma directa se revelan y difunden sus investigaciones en el contexto de su investigación. Sobre esta esencia se desarrolla el trabajo que se presenta.

Authors: Aguilar Morales Norma , Magaña Medina Deneb Elí , Guzmán Fernández Candelaria
Published: December 2023

En este estudio, se investigaron interacciones entre el trabajo y la familia experimentadas por investigadores en su vida diaria, y utilizando un cuestionario administrado en línea a través de Microsoft Teams, se obtuvieron respuestas de 60 investigadores reconocidos por el Sistema Nacional de Investigadores. Se observó una mayor participación masculina, y al analizar por género, las mujeres mostraron una mayor interacción negativa trabajo-familia y familia-trabajo con un tamaño de efecto moderado. Se encontró una correlación positiva entre ambas interacciones en el análisis de correlación, y en el análisis de regresión, la interacción negativa familia-trabajo explicó mejor la relación negativa trabajo-familia.

Published: December 2023

En este artículo se realiza una breve reseña histórica que pretende dar cuenta de las acciones que los gobiernos federales en turno ejecutaron para mejorar las condiciones de las escuelas, durante el período 1920-2000, las cuales pudieran considerarse el antecedente de una intervención estatal deliberada, que se acerca más, a lo que en la actualidad se le conoce como política pública. Con este abordaje histórico, se espera tener los referentes para reflexionar en la manera en que el Estado mexicano ha intervenido en la infraestructura educativa, como un asunto de interés público.
