Authors: Amoako Stephen Kwame , Oppong Kwasi , Tabi Jonah Addai , Ossei-Anto Theophilus Aquinas
Published: November 2022

This study aimed to investigate the underlying fundamental causes of trainees’ poor performance in organic chemistry. For the study, a descriptive survey design was employed. In all, 182 level 300 science students from four Colleges of Education in the Ashanti, Bono, Bono East and Ahafo regions which constitute the ASHBA zone were purposively selected. Participants in the study were given a set of self-created questionnaires to fill out in order to get their opinions on the perceived causes of trainees’ poor performance in organic chemistry. The data collected were analyzed quantitatively using factor analysis. The results from the study showed that teacher factors, student factors and school related factors affect trainee’s low performance in organic chemistry. It was therefore recommended that colleges must provide a conducive environment and teaching learning materials for teachers to use appropriate teaching methodology to help trainees enhance their performance.

Published: November 2022

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak perubahan tarif Pajak Penghasilan badan (PPh badan) dan Pajak Pertambahan Nilai (PPN) terhadap variabel ekonomi makro seperti PDB, konsumsi swasta, konsumsi pemerintah, dan investasi.  Penelitian ini juga menganalisis dampak perubahan tarif PPh badan dan PPN terhadap pendapatan rumah tangga dan output per sektor. Penelitian ini melakukan simulasi dengan menggunakan model Computable General Equilibrium (CGE)  dan data Sosial Accounting Matrix (SAM) 2019 sebagai database. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan bahwa pemotongan tarif Pajak Penghasilan badan sebesar 3% dan kenaikan tarif PPN dari sebesar 1% secara bersamaan akan meningkatkan konsumsi pemerintah dan investasi tetapi menurunkan konsumsi swasta, PDB, dan pendapatan rumah tangga baik di kelompok perdesaan maupun perkotaan dimana rumah tangga perdesaan mengalami penurunan pendapatan yang lebih besar. Kebijakan kenaikan tarif PPN memberikan dampak yang lebih kuat terhadap perekonomian. Sektor yang menunjukkan peningkatan output terbesar antara lain sektor adminstrasi pemerintahan, pertahanan, dan jaminan sosial wajib, jasa pendidikan, pertambangan dan penggalian, dan jasa kesehatan dan kegiatan sosial.
Metode Lowest Supply Lowest Cost (LSLC) Pada Masalah Transportasi Tidak Seimbang (Studi Kasus Pada Ditribusi Air Minum PT. Anugerah Berkah Bersaudara)
Authors: Fadjri Amellia
Published: November 2022

Distribution of goods is very important for the company. In order to get a bigger profit, the company tries to deliver the goods in the most effective way possible. There are several warehouse locations and several destinations, with different shipping costs, so the distribution problem can be solved using transportation methods. There are many methods that can be used to determine the optimal solution to the transportation problem. In this study, the Lowest Supply Lowest Cost (LSLC) method was used to determine the initial solution and the Stepping Stone method was used to determine the optimal solution for the distribution of Bottled Drinking Water at PT. Anugerah Berkah Brothers, with the aim of minimizing transportation costs. Distribution problems at PT. Anugerah Berkah Brothers is an unbalanced transportation problem, because the amount of inventory is greater than the amount of demand. Based on the results of the discussion obtained that PT. Anugerah Berkah brothers can save transportation costs from before as much as 8% of the initial cost.
The Effect of Speed on Coefficient of Friction in African Plum Oil (Dacryodes Edulis) Lubricant
Authors: Reneta Nafu Yakum , Mofor Wannyuy kingsly
Published: November 2022

One of the major factors influencing the variation of friction between surfaces in contact is the speed; we are faced here with the problem of determining the optimum speed between surfaces in contact in order to improve on the mechanical properties and performance of the entire system. This project investigates experimentally the effect of rotational speed on the (CoF) between aluminum disk test samples in contact with stainless steel pin using plum oil as a lubricant under thin film lubrication conditions. We first extracted plum oil using the manual pressing method and then carried out friction tests on a pin-on-disk tribometer as per ASTM-G 99 standards at room temperature. Rotational speeds between 500rpm and 3000rpm and normal loads of 10N and 20N were deployed as the operating variables and the variation of the (CoF) at predefined rotational speeds and normal loads was studied. Working time for each test was 20 minutes and each test was run twice and average value of friction force calculated. It was observed the CoF decreases with increasing rotational speed from 500rpm-1500rpm speed range and increases with increasing rotational speed from 1500rpm-2500rpm speed range while there is a slight drop from 2500rpm-3000rpm and an optimum speed range attained between 1250rpm-1500rpm where we experienced the least value of coefficient of friction for this specific material combination and test conditions. To further investigate other factors that affect the coefficient of friction and the validity of these results, more studies are needed.

Transformations of Medical and Vaccine Diplomacies in the COVID-19 Era
Authors: Arsentyeva I. I.
Published: November 2022

The pandemic has produced the global COVID-19 vaccine market with various stakeholders acting in their economic self-interest. At the same time, some governments use vaccines for pursuing national interests and expanding their international influence. Using scientific works on the topic and documents from WHO, GAVI, WTO, IMF, government documents and think tank reports, the author analyzes vaccine diplomacy as a branch of medical diplomacy and identifies changes that occur under pandemic impact. The article examines the current policy of China, as it has achieved the most notable success in medical services export, primarily to developing countries, and Chinese pharmaceutical companies play a prominent role in the global vaccine market. It raises serious concerns of the West, which accuses Beijing of using coronacrisis to establish a new (China-centric) world order. It is concluded that government capacity to protect public health and control epidemic spread is among the significant criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of State policy, and its own vaccine industry begins to be regarded as an important element of national security. There is also a considerable increase in the role of healthcare in foreign policy of a number of States using medical and vaccine diplomacies as a means of achieving political goals. COVID-19 vaccines are becoming a strategic asset that affects the country’s position on the world stage and generates a new field of geopolitical rivalry. But at the same time, vaccine diplomacy could serve as a dialogue platform in cases when interstate relations are in a deep crisis. And it may lead to awareness of the need to train specialists in the field of medical diplomacy.
Developing Local Content Policy in Pursuit of Sustainable Development Goals
Authors: Yaw Ahali Aaron
Published: November 2022

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) constitute a set of ambitious steps adopted to transform our world. They comprehensively outline action plans for social inclusion, environmental sustainability, and economic development. Achieving the SDGs by 2030 requires an unusual combination of action and partnership between various governmental and non-governmental organizations, development partners, the private sector, and civil society. While decision-makers are responsible for prioritizing and implementing strategies to ensure the various strategies embedded in the SDGs come to fruition, the private sector and civil society also play leading roles in implementing national plans. Local content policies (LCPs) are strategic policy frameworks focusing on diversification and technologically-led transformation in resourcerich economies. They are generally expressed through laws compelling stakeholders to procure services, create jobs within the host nation, and transfer technology. This paper stipulates that LCPs must be linked to the SDGs as this will help resource-rich countries fully benefit from their natural resources.

The efficiency of labor immigration regulations: approaches and methods of assessment
Authors: Popova Svetlana Mikhailovna , Yanik Andrey Aleksandrovich
Published: November 2022

A number of modern approaches and methods for assessing the efficiency of labor immigration regulations are considered. The efficiency of immigration policy we understand as the ability of regulatory mechanisms to ensure timely, differentiated, and orderly attraction of desirable migrants to the country's economy in such a way that this resource brings maximum benefit in solving current problems of socio-economic development and does not threaten national security. Sources for research: an array of official documents of Russia, EU countries, the ILO in the field of migration regulation (strategies, reports, results of evaluation procedures, statistics), and relevant scientific literature. General scientific and comparative methods are used in the work.   Two polar approaches are distinguished in the international literature: "bureaucratic" (based on the principles of project management and associated with the development of procedures for external independent evaluation of specific measures (projects) of migration policy) and "academic" (search for common theoretical models and universal methods that allow on a single basis to compare the results of migration regulation in different countries). The Russian literature also identifies two clusters that differ in priority criteria for evaluating effectiveness: (1) assessment of the adequacy of migration policy to the economic interests of Russia (taking into account the demands of regional labor markets), (2) the ability to guarantee the interests of public safety and strengthening the unity of the multinational people of Russia. The combination of competing criteria can give a more comprehensive idea of the effectiveness of migration policy, but the practical implementation of the approach is still difficult.
El culturema jade en la fraseología y la cultura chinas
Authors:   Universidad de Granada (España), Lei Chunyi
Published: November 2022

"Based on the Conventional Figurative Language Theory (Dobrovol’skij and Piirainen 2005a), this paper aims to analyse, from a linguo-cultural perspective, the symbolism of jade in Chinese culture and language, focusing on its phraseological units and metaphors. For this purpose, first of all, we briefly explore the history and culture of jade in China, as well as its ideograms and uses throughout history. Then, I focus on analysing its cultural connotations in phraseological units, such as power, wealth, virtue, perfection, exquisiteness and beauty, among others. Its symbolism has evolved over various historical periods. In this day and age, some of them are still alive, while others have become obsolete. However, its symbolic traces are deeply marked in the language. Furthermore, the large number and frequent use of phraseological units and metaphors with the component ‘jade’ shows its idiosyncratic cultural importance in China."
De nuevo sobre la polisemia de «saber + infinitivo» y su comportamiento gramatical: otro universal vernáculo del español
Authors:   Université de Montréal (Canadá), Pato Enrique
Published: November 2022

"This grammar note describes and analyzes the polysemy of the verb saber (‘to know’) in current Spanish. Specifically, it summarizes the values that it presents as a full verb or saber1, with a base meaning of ability or capacity (Juan sabe nadar), and as a double auxiliary: saber2 or frequent aspectual auxiliary verb equivalent to soler, acostumbrar (Los sillones vacíos saben estar ocupados a veces), and saber3 or culminative aspectual auxiliary verb similar to alcanzar, lograr, llegar a (Es un país que supo ser espléndido). Likewise, the forms it adopts (saber + infinitive), the verb tenses in which it appears registered, and its use as a modal verb are reviewed. Documentation of this use throughout the history of the Spanish language as well as examples in other Romance languages is offered. All this allows us to propose that we are facing a vernacular universal in Spanish."
La interfaz sintaxis-semántica y la lingüística clínica: el algoritmo de enlace de la Gramática del Papel y la Referencia en pacientes con Alzhéimer
Authors:   Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (España), Suárez Rodríguez Alejandro
Published: November 2022

"Clinical linguistics analyzes and describes communication and language impairment in patients, a field in which aphasia and phonetic features have been widely studied. In this paper, I propound a syntax-semantics analysis by means of the linking algorithm shown in Role and Reference Grammar (Van Valin and LaPolla 1997; Van Valin 2005), which will be applied to a sample of transcriptions from the corpus compiled by Peraita and Grasso (2010) with patients that suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. Thus, the aims of this paper are, first, to analyze the verb predicates from patients of the first stage of the disease in search of language deficits; and, second, to show how this grammar may improve the description of the language in these patients and its possible early diagnosis. The results manifest that patients use states as the default Aktionsart; they tend to express more simple sentences and clauses than subordinate, coordinate and cosubordinate elements; we also find that most arguments are realized as verbal morphemes; and that patients rely more on the discourse-pragmatic content to compensate their cognitive deficits."
¿Futuro o subjuntivo? El caso de las relativas libres de cuando
Authors:   Nanjing Tech University (China), Zu Jiehui
Published: November 2022

"This paper analyzes how the future tense is associated to the subjunctive in the relative clause with the implicit antecedent cuando. A revision of the bibliography is offered, and the analysis focuses especially on a survey carried out with different questions about the mood and tense of the main verb in the free relative clauses of person, place, mood and time. This survey was conducted with 52 Spanish-speaking cultured informants; their choice preference of the verbal form, which is confirmed by an analysis based on the CORPES and CREA, leads us to the conclusion that the case in question shows some peculiarities which are distinguished from other relative clauses, in that the future tense is incompatible with the subordinate clause induced by cuando even if the time frame to which the adverb cuando is related has been previously presented. Furthermore, the future tense in the main clause is related to the subjunctive in the subordinate clause, so much so that its appearance in the main sentence determines the use of the subjunctive in the subordinate clause."

Published: November 2022

Background: Nurses serve at the frontline during disease outbreaks. While measures have been adopted to control the rapid spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, little is known about the level of compliance of nurses to standard precaution practices during the early phase of the pandemic.
Objective: This study aimed to assess compliance with standard precaution practices (SPPs) among 713 nurses in Nigerian hospitals during the early phase of the pandemic.
Method: The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional design using an anonymous online questionnaire to elicit data from respondents. Data were analysed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 25. Chi-square test and multiple regression analyses were also conducted where appropriate.
Results: Findings from this study indicated that 448 (62.8%) of the respondents had good knowledge of Covid-19 and 265 (37.2%) had poor knowledge. Also, 529 (74.2%) had good compliance with the practice of standard precautions, and 184 (25.8%) showed non-compliance. A significant association was found between the age of nurses (χ2=14.034 p=0.015), years of experience (χ2=8. 636 p =0.035) and their overall compliance with the practice of standard precautions.
Conclusion: During the early phase of the Covid-19 pandemic in Nigeria, although over an average of the nurses had good knowledge of the disease, over one-third had poor knowledge, and one-quarter showed poor compliance with standard precautions. Interventions to improve the knowledge and compliance of health workers during the early phase of disease outbreaks are hereby advocated, as 21.3% had no previous training on Covid-19.
Lullabies of Tuvans: based on the field materials of the Novosibirsk Conservatory and the Institute of Philology of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Authors:   Institute of Philology SB RAS, Novosibirsk, Tiron E. L.
Published: November 2022

The genre of lullabies of Tuvans has been poorly studied. A precious little number of musical transcriptions of melodies of Tuvan lullabies have been published. This paper presents the results of an ethnomusicological study of a lullaby songs and rocking lullabies of the Tuvans using the recordings made during the expeditions to Tuva by ethnomusicologists and philologists of the Novosibirsk Conservatory and the Institute of Philology of the SB RAS. Some expeditions took place in cooperation with Tuvan colleagues. The analysis of the folk terminology used by the bearers of tradition in relation to this field of folk art has revealed four types of lullabies: lullaby songs, rocking lullabies, throat singing lullabies, and lullabies performed with tongue trembling. The first two types refer to genre characteristics, while the last two specify the timbre specifics of intonation. The study led the author to draw a conclusion about the heterogeneity of the lullaby genre, indicating the multitemporal nature of the appearance of lullaby songs and rocking lullabies of the Tuvans. Of importance is the observation that lullaby style accumulates many genres of ethnic intonation culture. It is through lullabies that a child is introduced to the intonational world of his ethnic culture. This work also provides comparative observations on terminology, cradle words, and the function of lullabies among the Turkic and Mongolian peoples of Siberia: Altaians, Shors, Khakas, Yakuts, Siberian Tatars, as well as Buryats and Mongols.
Previously undescribed vowel type: dufons
Authors:   Institute of Philology SB RAS, Novosibirsk, Urtegeshev N. S.
Published: November 2022

In general phonetics, vowels are considered as speech sounds pronounced without any stricture in the epiglottic cavities, with the lips, tongue, and soft palate playing a special role in their formation. In terms of structure, a distinction is made between monophthongs and diphthongs. We believe vowel formation to be influenced by numerous barriers and regard the role of lips, tongue, and soft palate as secondary one, that is, they provide only additional articulation. Of particular interest is the function of larynx with its different departments and folds. We assign a special role in the formation of vowels to vocal folds. We define vowels as laryngeal-ligamentous glottal-non-glottal and distinguish between laryngeal-rounded and laryngeal-non-rounded sounds. According to this account, a detailed acoustic analysis of linguistic material in different languages (Bashkir, Surgut dialect of Khanty, Orochon, Mennonite language) revealed a new type of vowels that had not been described in the scientific literature before. We termed such vowel sounds dufons with the following definition: dufons are semi-long laryngeal-ligamentous glottal-non-silent (vowel) sounds with a complex structure: they have two vocal components of different types and unequal durations within one core without a glottal insertion (for example, oѣa, oѣъ, eѣa).

Yury Chumakov Narrates…
Authors:   Institute of Philology SB RAS, Novosibirsk, Kapinos Elena V.
Published: November 2022

This literature is timed to the 100th anniversary of the birth of the famous Pushkinist and re-searcher of Russian lyric poetry, Yury Chumakov. It presents and comments on three small fragments of his memories, which the author of the article reproduces as accurately as possible, trying to preserve not only their narrative basis, but also the intonations of Yury Chumakov. A man artistically gifted, he had an extraordinary memory, through which he could describe almost every day of his life in the way that the audience empathized with him, saw, heard, felt this captured past. The recorded fragments are related to his childhood and early adolescence in Saratov (mid-1930s – early 1940s), and each of them is a kind of miniature art, in which both the fate of people and the spirit of that era can be seen.

An Automated Variable E-Field DFT Application (A.V.E.D.A.) for Evaluation of Optimally Oriented Electric Fields on Chemical Reactivity
Authors: Hanaway Dalton , Kennedy Rose
Published: November 2022

Recent theoretical work and experiments at molecular junctions have provided a strong conceptualization for the effects of oriented electric fields (OEFs) on organic reactions. Depending upon the axis of application, OEFs can increase (or decrease) reaction rate or distinguish between isomeric pathways. Despite the conceptual elegance of OEFs, which may be applied externally or induced locally, as tools for catalyzing organic reactions, implementation in synthetically relevant systems has been hampered by inefficiencies in evaluating reaction sensitivity to field effects. Herein we describe the development of the Automated Variable Electric-Field DFT Application (A.V.E.D.A.) for streamlined evaluation of a reaction’s susceptibility to OEFs. This open-source software was designed to be accessible for non-expert users of computational and programming tools. Following initiation by a single command (and with no subsequent intervention) the Linux workflow manages a series of density functional theory (DFT) calculations and mathematical manipulations to optimize local-minimum and transition-state structures in oriented electric fields of increasing magnitude. The resulting molecular and reaction dipole moments, field-perturbed geometries, and net effective activation energies are compiled for user interpretation. Ten representative pericyclic reactions that showcase the development and evaluation of A.V.E.D.A. are described.

During the solvent extraction of metal ions from an aqueous to an organic phase, organic-soluble extractants selectively target aqueous-soluble ions for transport into the organic phase. In the case of extractants that are also soluble in the aqueous phase, our recent studies of lanthanide ion-extractant complexes at the surface of aqueous solutions have suggested that ion-extractant complexation in the aqueous phase can hinder the solvent extraction process. Here, we investigate a similar phenomenon relevant to the separation of Co(II) and Ni(II) with supporting experiments that probe the separation of Fe(III) and Ni(II). X-ray fluorescence near total reflection and tensiometry are used to characterize the adsorption behavior of Co(II) and Ni(II) at the surface of aqueous solutions containing water-soluble extractants, either bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (HDEHP) or 2-ethylhexylphosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (HEHEHP). Consistent with our earlier studies of lanthanides, we observe a comparable adsorption behavior of Co(II) and Ni(II) at the surfaces of both HDEHP and HEHEHP aqueous solutions in spite of the known preference for Co(II) under solvent extraction conditions. Comparison experiments that utilized the water-insoluble extractant di-hexadecyl phosphoric acid (DHDP), confined to a monolayer on the water surface, reveal that Co(II) is preferentially adsorbed to the surface, as expected. This preference for Co(II) is also supported by molecular dynamics simulations of the potential of mean force for the ions interacting with the soluble extractants in water. These results highlight the possibility that complexation of extractants and ions in the aqueous phase can hinder the desired selectivity in the solvent extraction of critical elements.

Storing solar energy is a vital component of using renewable energy sources to meet the growing demands of the global energy economy. Molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage is a promising means to store solar energy with on-demand energy release. The light-induced isomerization reaction of norbornadiene (NBD) to quadricyclane (QC) is of great interest because of the generally high energy storage density (0.97 MJᐧkg–1) and long thermal reversion lifetime (t1/2, 300K = 8346 years). However, the mechanistic details of the ultrafast excited-state [2+2]-cycloaddition is largely unknown due to the limitations of experimental techniques in resolving accurate excited-state molecular structures. We now present a full computational study on the excited-state deactivation mechanism of NBD in the gas phase. Our multiconfigurational calculations [SA6-CASSCF(4,7)/ANO-S-VDZP] and non-adiabatic molecular dynamics simulations have enumerated the possible pathways with 600 S2 initial conditions for 300 fs. The predicted S2 and S1 lifetimes are reported (62 and 221 fs). The QC: NBD formation ratio is 1:5; the predicted quantum yield of QC is 9%, which underscores the potential of NBD for MOST materials. Our simulations also show the mechanisms of forming other possible reaction products and their quantum yields.

Nitrogen-coordinated metal sites (MNx) in metal- and nitrogen-co-doped carbon (M-N-C) catalysts are known for their versatile and promising electrocatalytic activity. However, the synthesis of MNx moieties with desired configuration and catalytic property is still quite challenging using the conventional high-temperature treatment approach. In this study, we demonstrate the solution-phase synthesis of Co-N-C catalysts via the formation of CoNx moieties at metal vacancy-Nx (MVNx) sites on nitrogen-doped carbon (N-C) templated by alkali metals, including sodium and potassium. The formation of CoNx sites is confirmed via a combined approach of various physical characterization techniques, elemental analysis, and electrochemical analysis. For each series of Co-N-C catalysts templated by the same alkali metal (e.g., Na or K), there is a correlation between the CoNx content and the electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Moreover, the correlation of CoNx content with ORR activity also depends on the type of sacrificial alkali metals, suggesting the role of sacrificial metals in creating MVNx sites with a diverse coordination environment. These findings may further guide the future development of M-N-C electrocatalysts with abundant and versatile MNx moieties through this solution-phase coordination approach.

Clay tonsils mark permeable porous boundaries of basaltic flows. Poor penetration of water is expressed in local occurrence of smectite-sepiolite tonsils with admixtures of halloysite and polygorskite. Increasing water infiltration that results in complete filling of pores and cavities in basalts by the same clay minerals is accompanied by the entry of a goethite admixture. Mature weathering crust on basalts is characterized by smectite-goethite composition without sepiolite. The cryptic clay mineralization of permeable basalt layers might result in overestimating ages in K-Ar system and distortion of primary geochemical signatures of volcanic rocks.

In terms of petrochemical and trace-element data, basalts from the axial rift valley are suggested to originate from sources of the sub-continental lithospheric mantle, inhomogeneity of which was due to extracting upper and lower crustal components. Trace-element modeling indicated 3-8 %partial melting of apatite-bearing sources with varying garnet and clinopyroxene proportions.

Vietnamese Undergraduate Students' Perceived Changes in Emotional Intelligence and Coping Strategies
Authors:   , Do Phuong Anh
Published: November 2022

An increasing number of mental health problems have been found in Vietnamese undergraduate students, including stress, anxiety, depression and suicide. One of the factors linked to increased mental health problems in Vietnamese undergraduate students is low emotional intelligence and a lack of coping skills. Emotional intelligence is involved in coping and problem-solving processes, reduces stress and has been found to improve physical and psychological wellbeing. Individuals who lack emotional intelligence experience more stress, have more mental health issues, lack adaptive coping skills and adopt unhealthy or risk-taking behaviours. Research demonstrates that many Vietnamese undergraduate students have difficulty adapting to changes, lack assertiveness and experience relationship instability. Their 7roblems also are thought to be partly caused by the pressures they experience while trying to adhere to social and cultural norms, which are strongly influenced by a mixture of value systems, including Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and Socialism. The purpose of the present study is to explore the experiences of Vietnamese undergraduate students and their learning about emotional intelligence and coping strategies within Vietnam's social and cultural context. This research was conducted in the Vietnamese language. A descriptive qualitative study was used to explore participants' experiences of a programme designed to develop emotional intelligence and coping strategies. The participants were 21 undergraduate students aged 17–25 years old, living and studying in Hanoi. Audio diaries, interviews and cogenerative dialogues were utilised as data collection methods. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data and present the main findings. The study showed that participants used avoidance and emotional suppression to cope with stress and interpersonal conflicts. These strategies were culturally shaped and aimed at maintaining interconnectedness and social harmony but had negative consequences on their wellbeing. Participants’ self-reported changes indicated some improvement in their perceived coping ability and their emotional abilities that contribute to emotional intelligence. The programme helped participants develop their emotional literacy, awareness and understanding. These abilities enabled them to develop a broader range of problem-solving skills, emotional acceptance, and increased self-control, leading to their changes. This change was evidenced in participants reporting feeling more liberated, empowered, and autonomous. They also felt more confident in their problem-solving ability and had more control over stressful situations.
