Effect of Flow of Information on Student Engagement in Public Universities in Nairobi City County, Kenya
Authors: Maina Cecilia , Mberia Hellen
Published: October 2023

Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine the effect of flow of information on student engagement in public universities in Kenya

Methodology: The study used a mixed research design with both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The target population was all the students in the public universities within Nairobi City County.  A sample of 384 students was drawn from the five public chartered universities’ main campuses, using a combination of various probability sampling techniques including stratified, simple random sampling and systematic sampling. The academic registrar in each of the university was sampled for interviews using purposive sampling. The research instruments for this study were self-administered questionnaires for students and semi-structured interviews for the registrars. Quantitative data was analyzed using the SPSS software and the inferential statistics used were descriptive, correlation, regression and ANOVA analysis. Qualitative data was analyzed for themes, and triangulation of both quantitative and qualitative data done.

Findings: Lateral communication (student-student) is well established in public universities and students easily share information with one another. Downward (management-student) and upward (student-management) communication was however wanting with students feeling that they are not consulted enough even on issues that directly affect them. This is despite having representation by their student representatives at various levels of the decision-making processes in the university. Students also stated that they could not freely communicate their opinions to the management despite being provided with channels to do so.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study was guided by the Organizational Information Theory (OIT). The study therefore recommended that better ways of engaging students directly, such as meetings could also be considered instead of relying on student leadership representation alone. Public universities should establish clear and comprehensive communication policies that outline the channels, frequency, and modes of communication between the institution, faculty, and students.

Published: October 2023

Purpose: The study sought to analyze the role of corporate social responsibility in strategic management in Cambodia

Methodology: The research was conducted entirely on desktop review method. Secondary data, or data that doesn't require actual observation in the field, are the focus of desk research. Because it requires little more than an executive's time, telephone rates, and directories, desk research is generally seen as a low-cost strategy in comparison to field research. As a result, the research used data that had already been collected and reported. This secondary data was readily available via the internet's digital library and scholarly articles.

Findings: The results show that corporate social responsibility is an important part of the strategic management process and can be used to create value for stakeholders and create competitive advantage. Companies build trust and reputation and create positive relationships with customers, suppliers and investors. It is clear, therefore, that CSR plays an important role in the strategic management process and is essential for business success. CSR is an increasingly important concept in strategic management in Cambodia. There are a number of initiatives that businesses operating in the country can undertake to ensure that their operations are socially responsible and beneficial to the environment.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Future research in strategic management may be grounded in theories like stakeholder theory and legitimacy theory. Policymakers, researchers, and academics from all across the world will all stand to gain from this study's findings. The findings of the study will also be used by the country's top strategic management executives to boost the effectiveness of their organizations' programs and initiatives related to corporate social responsibility. According to the findings, the corporate governance sector would benefit from adopting strategic management strategies that have been shown to increase the effectiveness of key operations and activities.

Youth unemployment in Nigeria, particularly in the north-central region has assumed a very cancerous disposition culminating into series of security challenges which have claimed many lives and properties. In the north-central region, the youths are the worst hit when it comes to the issue of unemployment at a very alarming rate. A glimpse at rush into the north-central states by job seekers and unproductive youths portray the catastrophic and ludicrousness of the youth unemployed problem. However, the governments of Kogi, Kwara, Niger, Benue, Nasarawa and Plateau states have continued to strive to contain the disastrous effect of youth unemployment by providing various youth empowerment initiatives and security measures to extricate the prevailing security challenges. In spite of governments effort to steam the menace of both youth unemployment and insecurity in the region remain abortive because youth unemployment and insecurity is on the rise. It is based on this that this paper sought to find out how governments across the region in collaboration with federal government have fared in engaging youth unemployment with youth empowerment initiatives in the north-central region which is the study area. The study adopted survey research methods. The study employed both primary and secondary sources in generating its data and utilized tables and for data presentation and the simple percentage for analysis. Adopted frustration-aggression and human needs as theoretical underpinning to explain the topic under investigation. Findings from the study revealed that there is strong connection between youth unemployment and insecurity in the north-central Nigeria. it also revealed that frequent herders/farmers clashes, lack of proper monitoring and evaluation, corruption, lack of political will, official mismanagement while its revealed that poverty, politics, ethnicity and religion were some of the factors responsible for security challenges in the north-central States.

Authors: Roy Kowshik Sankar , Islam Sheikh Md. Rabiul
Published: October 2023

In recent years, there has been a rise in the amount of research conducted in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) employing electrooculography (EOG), which is a technology that is effectively and widely used to detect human eye activity. The use of EOG signals as a control signal for HCI is essential for understanding, characterizing, and classifying eye movements, which can be applied to a wide range of applications including virtual mouse and keyboard control, electric power wheelchairs, industrial assistive robots, and patient rehabilitation or communication purposes. In the field of HCI, EOG signals classification has continuously been performed to make the system more effective and reliable than ever. In this paper, a Recurrent neural network model is proposed for classifying eye movement directions utilizing several informative feature extraction methods and noise filtering. Our classification model is comprised of Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) with a Bidirectional GRU followed by dense layers. The classifier is investigated to find a better classification performance of four directional eye movements: Up and Down for the vertical channel, along with Left and Right for the horizontal channel of EOG signals. The classifier achieved 99.77% and 99.74% accuracy for vertical and horizontal channels, respectively, which outperforms the compared state-of-the-art studies. The proposed classifier allows disabled people to make life-improving decisions using computers, achieving the highest classification performance for rehabilitation and other applications.

Authors: Fedasyuk Dmytro , Lutsyk Illia
Published: October 2023

Analysis of scientific research on the development of adaptive and self-adaptive software systems is conducted. It is established that the use of machine learning methods and feedback diagrams is an effective way to design and develop adaptive software. It is determined that the existing methods do not fully provide the possibility of dynamic changes and expansion of functional and graphic characteristics. The software adaptation process is designed based on the ontological model using the semantic decision-making mechanism. The proposed method allows us to dynamically determine the necessary system characteristics and perform software adaptation. Modification process takes into account the information about currently active device based on data about the needs and requirements of the user.  Using the results of designing an abstract approach to software configuration modification, an experimental study of the speed of generating optimal system settings is conducted. According to the results of the experiment, it is established that the new method demonstrates 20% better indicators of the speed of generating software settings compared to classical approaches.

Authors: Chakre Rahul R. , Patil Dipak V.
Published: October 2023

Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a vital imaging tool for detecting brain malignancies in medical diagnosis. The semantic gap between low-level visual information collected by MRI equipment and high-level information stated by the doctor, on the other hand, is the biggest stumbling block in MR image classification. Large amount of medial image data is generated through various imaging modalities. For processing this large amount of medical data, considerable period of time is required. Due to this, time complexity becomes a measure challenge in medical image analysis. As a result, this paper offers analysis for brain tumour classification method named as Dendritic Cell-Squirrel Search Algorithm-based Classifier in the parallel environment. In this paper a parallel environment is proposed. In the experimentation the input dataset is divided into datasets of equal sizes and given as the input on the multiple cores to reduce the time complexity of the algorithm. Due to this, brain tumor classification becomes faster. Here initially, pre-processing is performed applying Gaussian Filter and ROI, it improves the data quality. Subsequently segmentation is done with sparse fuzzy-c-means (Sparse FCM) for extracting statistical and texture features. Additionally, for feature selection, the Particle Rider mutual information is used, which is created by combining Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Rider Optimization Algorithm (ROA), and mutual information. The Dendritic Cell-SSA algorithm, which combines the Dendritic Cell Algorithm and the Squirrel Search Algorithm, is used to classify brain tumors. With a maximum accuracy of 97.79 percent, sensitivity of 97.58 percent, and specificity of 98 percent, the Particle Rider MI-Dendritic Cell-Squirrel Search Algorithm-Artificial Immune Classifier outperforms the competition. The experimental result shows that the proposed parallel technique works efficiently and the time complexity is improved up to 99.94% for Particle Rider MI-Dendritic Cell- Squirrel Search Algorithm-based artificial immune Classifier and 99.92% for Rider Optimization-Dendritic Cell –Squirrel Search Algorithm based Classifier as compared to sequential approach.

Authors: Reddy Vani Kurugod Aswathanarayana , Nagappasetty Ramamohan Babu Kasturi
Published: October 2023

A rapid increase in the number of online applications has led to exponential growth in traffic. In data centers, it is hard to dynamically balance such huge amounts of traffic while keeping track of server data. A load-balancing strategy is an effective solution for distributing such huge amounts of traffic. The major contribution of this research work is to improve the performance of the network by designing a dynamic load balancing algorithm based on server data using SDN, reduction of controller overhead and optimizing energy consumption in a server pool. The problem is formulated using a Linear Programming mathematical model. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed technique, the experimental setup is deployed using real hardware components such as a Zodiac-Fx switch, Ryu controller and various web servers in the data center network. This proposed scheme is compared with round-robin and random load balancing mechanisms. The experimental results show that the performance is improved by 87.4% while saving 78% of the energy.

Published: October 2023

The entomological collection of the National Museum of Natural History at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in Sofia (NMNHS) preserves a total of 89 specimens representing 25 species of jumping plant lice (Hemiptera: Psylloidea). These were recorded and digitised in the Specify platform as part of the Distributed System of Scientific Collections project (DissCo-BG). This paper summarises all available data on these specimens. Twenty-four species were collected in Bulgaria, one species in Greece. Voucher specimens for Psylloidea published in a historical treatise on the Bulgarian fauna of Hemiptera by Dimitar Joakimov were not found in the NMNHS and are most likely lost. However, Joakimov’s collection, later acquired and supplemented by the museum, contains unpublished material, including three species reported here for the first time from Bulgaria: Aphalara maculipennis Löw, 1886, Cacopsylla ulmi (Foerster, 1848) and Dyspersa abdominalis (Flor, 1861).

Published: October 2023

"Мақалада Зейнолла Қабдоловтың «Менің Әуезовім» роман-эссесінің кейіпкерлері, көркемдігі талданған. Әуезовтің ұстаз ретіндегі бейнесінің сомдалуы, оның азамат боп қалыптасып, білім жолына түсуіне ағасы Қасымбектің көп көмек тигізгені айтылады. Әуезовтің Алаш адамдарымен танысуына, Абай ұрпақтарымен табысуына себепкер болған Қасымбек екені ерекше аталады. Абай өлеңдерін эстетикалық тұрғыда түсіндіріп берген де, ұлтты сүюге үйреткен де Қасымбек екені сөз болады. Романда Әуезовтің өмір жолын Абайдың өлеңдерімен сабақтастырады. «Менің Әуезовім» роман-эссесінен Қабдоловтың өзі «Сөз өнерінде» айтып кеткен жазушыға қажет сегіз қасиеттің бәрін кездестіре аламыз. Шығармадағы Әуезов туралы, өзі туралы оқиғалар, толғаныстар роман-эссе жанрына сай үзік-үзік, қысқа түрде берілген. Қабдоловтың сөз қолданудағы шеберлігіне Әуезовтің, Байкенжиннің көздерін сипаттауы дәлел бола алады. Адам психологиясын ашудағы Достоевский дәстүрін көреміз. Әуезовтің көзі, Достоевский тілімен айтқанда, «адамның ішіндегі басқа адамды» таба алатындай деңгейде суреттелген. Кейіпкерлерге мінездеме бергенде сөз дәлдігін ұтымды қолданады. Автор орыс әдебиетіндегі эпизодтарды салыстыру ретінде шеберлікпен қолдана біледі. Университетте болған бір жағдайды Гогольдың «Ревизорына» ұқсатып сипаттайды. Кеңестік дәуірдегі саяси науқандарды жазушы «Ленин – 17», «Сталин –37», «Ойраншыл – 37» деген саяси атаулармен атайды. Өзіндік сөз қолданысы деп қабылдаймыз. Кілтті сөздер: жазушылық шеберлік, психологизм, интермәтін, Әуезов бейнесі, кеңестік идеология, Достоевский дәстүрі, юмор, сөз дәлдігі. "

"This article presents the results of a complete thermodynamic modeling of the smelting process of chromium-manganese-silicon-containing ferroalloy from chromium and manganese ores of Kazakhstan. A complete thermodynamic simulation of the smelting process of chromium-manganese silicon-containing ferroalloy was performed in the software package «HSC Chemistry 6». The principle of operation of this software package is based on the principle of maximum entropy and takes into account all known properties of the reacting components that make up the thermodynamic system. Thermodynamic analysis for modeling the smelting process of a complex alloy was carried out in the temperature range from 900 to 1800 ℃ for three real charge compositions (with a lack of 10 % solid reducing agent, with a normal course of the regime and with an excess of 10 % solid reducing agent). The mechanism of joint carbothermic reduction of silicon, aluminum, calcium, manganese, chromium and iron was studied using the Cr-Si-Al-Ca-Mn-Mg-O-C system. The calculations carried out make it possible to fully consider all the physicochemical processes occurring during the smelting of chromium-manganese silicon containing ferroalloy by the carbothermic method. According to thermodynamic data, the optimal consumption of solid carbon per 100 kg of ore mixture (chromium and manganese ore), in the amount of 17 kg, has been established. The chemical composition at a temperature of 1800 °C is, %: Cr - 43.43; Mn - 21.28; Si - 10.25 and Fe - 24.55. Keywords: complex alloy, carbothermic process, chromium-manganese-silicon-containing ferroalloy, thermodynamics, chromium ore, manganese ore."

"СОСТОЯНИЕ ПРОБЛЕМЫ ОБРАБОТКИ ТРУДНООБРАБАТЫВАЕМЫХ МАТЕРИАЛОВ "
Authors: С. О. Тусупова  , Л. Н. Махмудов
Published: October 2023

"В данной статье приводятся результаты исследования состояний проблем обработки труднообрабатываемых материалов в условиях отечественных и зарубежных машиностроительных производств. Выявлено, что обработка труднообрабатываемых материалов резанием является проблемой, которая сопровождается материальными затратами и низкой производительностью. Проблема может заключатся также в большом расходе режущего инструмента, так как эти материалы имеют высокие показатели твердости, прочности, вязкости, коррозионной стойкости, жаропрочности при низкой теплопроводности, которые затрудняют обработку резанием. Предлагается способ механической обработки труднообрaбaтывaемых мaтериaлов выcокоcкороcтным фрезеровaнием, который в нacтоящее время являетcя одним из рaзвивaющихcя нaпрaвлений и недоcтaточно изученной по cрaвнению c другими методaми. Однако выявлено, что при использовании высокоскоростного фрезерования существует проблема выбора режимов резания в зависимости от обрабатываемого материала и материала режущего инструмента. Также отсутствуют справочные данные по выбору режимов резания для обработки на высоких оборотах. Так как ранее использованные универсальные станки не имели возможности обеспечить более 2000 об/мин, и соответственно в справочниках даны рекомендации согласно этим значениям. Приведены результаты экспериментальных исследований процесса высокоскоростного фрезерования высокопрочной легированной стали 30ХГСА. Полученные результаты показали, что имеются высокие ресурсы данного способа. При правильно выбранных режимах резания возможно достижение высоких качественных показателей механической обработки и повышение производительности. Ключевые слова: труднообрабатываемый материал, высокоскоростное фрезерование, режимы резания, шероховатость, твердость, производительность. "

"MASHKHUR ZHUSSIP POETICS: THE USE OF NATIONAL EXAMPLE "
Authors: "*A. Y. Yerlanova "
Published: October 2023

"Abstract. The article examines the use of national expressions, one of the features of the poetics of the poet, thinker Mashkhur Zhussip Kopeev. The purpose of the article is to identify the use of words, artistic features of the poet, reflecting his individuality, specificity in literature and thereby forming an initiative to study the poetics of the poet. The research has scientific and practical significance. It can also be used in local history lessons, in the discipline of literature of the early twentieth century and general theory of literature. The poet’s poems clearly show that the national expression, Kazakh cognition, national color play a big role in enriching Mashkhur Zhussip’s creativity, in determining his difference from other poets-writers. It can be said that this experience of the scientist, who grew up reading folk literature, and then collected folklore himself, positively influenced his work. Skillfully using national knowledge, he developed literature in terms of genre, style, art and imagery. In the article, examples taken from the works of a poet were analyzed using scientific evidence and compared with the opinions of scholars. To identify the specificity of using national elements, methods such as gathering, analyzing, comparing, and hermeneutics were employed. National elements were examined in relation to three categories: enriching the vocabulary with vernacular words, national elements in religious connotations, and archaisms. The poet’s poems from the multivolume collection of works were chosen as the object of research. Keywords: poetics, imagery, national expression, artistic specificity, artistic text "

Smooth fans that are endpoint rigid
Authors: Hernández-Gutiérrez Rodrigo , Hoehn Logan C.
Published: October 2023

Let X be a smooth fan and denote its set of endpoints by E(X). Let E be one of the following spaces: the natural numbers, the irrational numbers, or the product of the Cantor set with the natural numbers. We prove that there is a smooth fan X such that E(X) is homeomorphic to E and for every homeomorphism h : X → X , the restriction of h to E(X) is the identity. On the other hand, we also prove that if X is any smooth fan such that E(X) is homeomorphic to complete Erdős space, then X is necessarily homeomorphic to the Lelek fan; this adds to a 1989 result by Włodzimierz Charatonik.

This article will also identify a few overarching trends in the evolution of Israeli urban warfare.
The Political Trajectory of Urban Violence: Organized Crime in Michoacán’s Apatzingán
Authors: Carbajal Fausto
Published: October 2023

Contrary to the “narco-centric” explanation of homicidal violence in Mexico, this article proposes “the political trajectory of urban violence” (PTUV) as an additional analytical category to nuance the developmental process of today´s large-scale violence in Mexican urban enclaves. Building on previous research, this article argues that organized crime-related violence in Mexican cities today has unveiled –and exacerbated– intricate power tensions among private actors –both illegal and, perhaps more importantly, legal ones– which need to be explored by considering the historical evolution of these political processes within a given urban context. The PTUV, then, regards recent organized crime-related violence as part of a continuum of the socio-political complex in urban environments, and not only due to criminal conduct or activity per se. Because a concrete case study is central to advance on this research agenda, the article posits that repeated outbreaks of homicidal violence in the city of Apatzingán, Michoacán, Mexico, have been the result of a rooted local conflict over land access, economic hegemony, political dominance and increased urbanization.
The Battles of Hue: Understanding Urban Conflicts through Wargaming
Authors: Burden David
Published: October 2023

Recent years have seen increased interest in the professional use of wargames, and wargames are a potential tool to enable a better understanding of past urban conflicts and to plan for future urban security. Whilst access to professional wargames are limited, hobby wargames have been identified as useful and closely related areas to study. Previous work has identified around 214 manual hobby wargames that deal with urban conflict, but only 5 battles are covered by 5 or more wargames, and so provide a reasonable sample for comparative reviews. The battle of Hue battle had many of the hallmarks of a modern urban battle, with both symmetric and asymmetric opposition, combined arms, a civilian and media presence, and the use of innovative technology. This article examines how 5 different wargame designers have approached the Battle of Hue, and how their design choices relate to the key characteristic of the Battle of Hue. The article also identifies where the principal deficiencies are. The article concludes by considering the issues highlighted by these games that wargaming has in representing urban conflict, and how these could be addressed in order to make wargaming a more useful tool to model urban conflict and security.
