The Impact of Covid-19 on Household Food Security and Income Generation in Mufulira District, Copperbelt Province
Authors: Nonde Karen
Published: June 2022

Household food security poses as a great challenge in most households especially in Africa. The ability to  have sufficient food available at all times is deemed as a luxury. With the emergence of the Corona Virus disease commonly known as Covid-19, many countries have suffered economic recessions due to border closures, lockdowns, loss of human resource, diversion of funds hence leading to people losing their jobs, businesses going down and loss of family heads due to the virus.  Therefore, this led to household food insecurity in most households and low-income generation. The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of Covid-19 on household food security and income generation in Francis Mukuka, Mufulira District, Copperbelt Province. The specific objectives were to find out how Covid-19 has affected household food security, to examine the impact of Covid-19 on household income and to investigate measures put in place in order to cope with Covid-19. A case study research method that included a structured interview guide was  used to collect data online from a sample of 26 respondents. The respondents were made up of  those in employment and business owners, the married as well as those who are single. The study findings show that most households had challenges in feeding the family all the three meals required per day and they experienced inability to have all the desired food. They also revealed that people generated low income hence most of the respondents had to diversify into farming, doing part time business and looking for extra jobs. It was also found that, during the Covid-19 restriction measures, prices for goods had gone up, people were failing to purchase most things for their basic needs and those who could afford were buying in bulk because of restriction of movements. After the lifting up of Covid-19 measures, prices for goods have dropped. In view of the findings, the following recommendations were made. Increase the number of people on the Farmer Input Support Program (FISP) to increase agriculture production so as to achieve related sustainable development goals.

Economic Backlash on the Cameroon Development Corporation (CDC) at the End of British Rule in Southern Cameroons, 1961-1968
Authors: Takang Bessong Stephen , Takor Nixon Kahjum , Ngwa Canute A.
Published: June 2022

The Cameroon Development Corporation (CDC) was created in 1946 and went operational in 1947 through the enactment of two important ordinances by the government of Nigeria. As an agro-industrial company, the principal objective at inception was the management of the ex-German plantations in Cameroon for the welfare of the workers in particular, and the inhabitants of Southern Cameroons in general. Curiously, the creation of the CDC coincided with a rising spirit of nationalism in the territory, culminating in the granting of independence by reunification with the Republic of Cameroon in October 1961. Considering that the end of British rule was accompanied by reunification, and not integration with Nigeria, the objective of this paper is to highlight the post reunification implications on the CDC. Even though it drastically reduced Nigerian domination of the plantations and offered the corporation greater access to seaport facilities in Douala, the article posits that the CDC suffered enormous setbacks at the end of the British trusteeship in the territory. Using qualitative historical designs, the finding of the study admit that the end of British rule provoked the suspension of Commonwealth funding, cancellation of banana trade preferences, tariff imbroglio, cross-territory security concerns, among the other constraints. However, the article concludes that the federal government equally embarked on a number of remedial measures which went a long way in mitigating the post-independence challenges faced by the CDC.KEY WORDS: Economic backlash, Cameroon Development Corporation, British rule and Southern Cameroons.

BACKGROUND: Obesity has been widely reported to be associated with loss of kidney function. The efficacy of β-1,3/1,6-D-glucan as a traditional medicine for the improvement of inflammation and vascular status in obesity has known. However, there have been no further studies that prove the effect of β-1,3/1,6-D-glucan in inhibiting kidney injury as an impact of chronic inflammation exposure on obesity. This study aimed to investigate the impact of β-1,3/1,6-D-glucan from mycelia extract supplementation on renal function improvement based on serum nitric oxide (NO), ureum, and creatinine levels.METHODS: This was a randomized control trial study involving 69 obese subjects treated with or without β-1,3/1,6-D-glucan supplementation. The serum NO, ureum, and creatinine levels of the subjects were measured at baseline and post-treatment using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and then statistically analyzed with paired T-test.RESULTS: Although slightly decrease, no significant difference was found between the ureum and creatinine level at the baseline and and post-treatment (p=0.806, p=0.306, respectively) after β-1,3/1,6-D-glucan supplementation. Serum NO levels significantly decrease after treatment of β-1,3/1,6-D-glucan (p<0.001).CONCLUSION: Current study concludes that β-1,3/1,6-D-glucan from mycelia extract does not significantly lower urea and creatinine level, however, significantly able to reduce the serum NO concentration in obese subjects. Therefore, β-1,3/1,6-D-glucan from mycelia extract might have the renal protection potential in obesity.KEYWORDS: β-1,3/1,6-D-glucan, Ganoderma lucidum, renal function improvement, obesity
Descripción y análisis de la situación actual del turismo de naturaleza en la Reserva Forestal Protectora quebrada Honda, caños Parrado y Buque en Villavicencio, Meta (Colombia)
Authors: Cruz Fernández Johanna , Gómez Morales Oscar Fernando
Published: June 2022

En el presente artículo se realizó un análisis de la situación actual de la práctica del turismo de naturaleza en la Reserva Forestal Protectora quebrada Honda y caños Parrado y Buque, mediante un levantamiento de los principales atractivos turísticos, la elaboración de un mapa temático de conflicto con el uso del suelo y la práctica del turismo, y un análisis de la situación actual de la reserva a través de la matriz DOFA . Como resultados se encontró que el tipo de turismo de naturaleza que se practica en la reserva es el ecoturismo, que en mayor proporción lo realizan las mujeres, y el turismo de aventura, practicado por los hombres. El área de estudio cuenta con cinco lugares estratégicos donde se puede realizar turismo y es visitada por personas jóvenes que practican deportes extremos y por adultos que eligen lugares para descansar, disfrutar del paisaje o hacer caminatas. Mediante el levantamiento del mapa se estableció que debido a la expansión urbana los bosques han sido modificados y han quedado parches de estos inmersos en áreas de agricultura y pastos para ganadería. El análisis de la matriz DOFA arrojó falta de conciencia ambiental por parte de los visitantes y la población residente, así como falta de publicidad y adecuación de un sitio de información. Para dar solución a esta problemática se propone la realización de diferentes estrategias en esta área, dada su importancia no solo turística, sino ecosistémica.

Stan ostrego pogotowia. Łódzki garnizon wojskowy wobec demonstracji pierwszomajowych w II Rzeczpospolitej
Authors: Kuprianis Artur
Published: June 2022

Święto Pracy było w II Rzeczpospolitej polem rywalizacji między Polską Partią Socjalistyczną a Komunistyczną Partią Polski. Ponieważ w Łodzi stacjonował bardzo duży garnizon wojskowy, tego dnia wiele działań komunistów skierowanych było przeciwko armii. Prowadził je Centralny Wydział Wojskowy Komitetu Centralnego KPP, nazywany potocznie „wojskówką”. Władze wojskowe doskonale orientowały się w zamierzeniach komunistów i skutecznie im przeciwdziałały, m.in. podczas manifestacji pierwszomajowych. Największe tego typu obchody współorganizowane przez KPP, miały miejsce w 1936 r. Wzięło w nich udział około 25 tys. osób. Z tego powodu łódzki garnizon postawiono w stan gotowości bojowej. Na szczęście nie doszło do eskalacji wydarzeń i wojsko nie musiało być użyte.

SPACE, ARCHITECTURE, AND POWER. THE TOP-DOWN AND BOTTOM-UP PLACEMAKING IN HISTORIC ARABIC-ISLAMIC CITIES
Authors: Saad Sadek Ahmed
Published: June 2022

Urban spaces are the end-product of various power deliberations and different urban processes, mainly the top-down and bottom-up. This study investigates the role of the two urban processes in placemaking in historic Arabic-Islamic cities. The investigation demonstrates each urban process's role in creating the major mosque's spatial context in Mecca, Medina, Cairo, Fes, Damascus, and Tripoli of Libya. Aiming to clear some preconceived ideas -strongly affected by the Renaissance’s spectacular values- about Arabic-Islamic urbanism, this article studied major Arab-Islamic cities in qualitative and quantitative approaches. The oldest available cartographic materials are investigated locally concerning political values and changes. Street patterns, space typology, and major mosque spatial context in historic Arabic-Islamic cities are studied, relating each type of urban process to placemaking's symbolic value. Before the end of the 17th century, historic Arabic-Islamic cities adopted a bottom-up process by taking advantage of the community's right to assert the order of their built environment. The top-down process was limited mainly to the architectural level of authoritarian mosques and their context. The ontological freedom and the right to control the place shifted due to exogenous political influences from the public to the authorities. By adopting the Renaissance's urban values, the top-down urban process expanded its domination on architectural and urban levels, shifting the mosque's function from socioeconomic to an artistic value. This adaptation was achieved by promoting the mosque as an artifact and creating a spectacular spatial context.

Aceh is well known as the center of spreading Islam in South East Asia. West Aceh has contributed to present their best people in the history of the battle against colonialism when the heroic war in the past. Thus, Acehnese are considered a religious society. However, the research on the typology of significant Islamic buildings, such as mosques, has been very limited in this area. This study aims to determine the typology of mosques in West Aceh. This study was conducted based on observation data in West Aceh and a literature study. The number of twenty-five mosques is included in this study. The locations of mosques were in Meulaboh, the capital city of West Aceh, and in the rural area of West Aceh. The result shows that the typology of mosques in West Aceh has similarities with Masjid Raya Baiturrahman which stands in the capital city of Aceh. The similarities are found in the typology of the roof, door, window, column, and façade ornamentation. Meanwhile, the minaret did not have a significant influence on the typology of the mosques in West Aceh. There is still research to be done and data to be collected about other mosques in other areas in Aceh. Then, the date period of construction data should be added to give a comprehensive perspective of the influence.

Authors: Rosidin Didin Nurul , Safullah Asep , Sa'dudin Ihsan
Published: June 2022

This study aims to elaborate on the rise of The At-Taqwa Grand Mosque as the Jami' mosque and the long-standing great mosque of Sang Cipta Rasa in Cirebon, West Java, in 1963. The emergence of the At-Taqwa not only drove the rise of new Jami mosques in the Cirebon in the following years but also brought about the contestation of religious authority since mosques function as a source of religious authority in Islam. The study rests on the history of the Great Mosque of Sang Cipta Rasa as the first Jami Mosque in Cirebon, the emergence of the At-Taqwa as the Grand Mosque, and the implications of the two Jami mosques in the context of contesting the authority of religiosity in the Muslim community in Cirebon. The method used in this study is based on a historical analysis approach. The study shows that the Sang Cipta Rasa enjoyed as the source of religious authority in Cirebon and neighborhood areas for an extended period. However, the rise of the Grand Mosque of At-Taqwa also diminished the stature of the Sang Cipta Rasa mosque as the sole source of religious authority. On the other hand, it further strengthened the spreading of their authority in Cirebon based on mosques.

Authors: Indrawati Indrawati , Nurhasan N , Soetomo Sugiono
Published: June 2022

Many Islamic heritages are not well maintained. This condition also occurs in the Ki Ageng Majasto cemetery, an Islamic heritage site near Surakarta City, Central Java. The function of the area has changed, from the education area in the early time into the Worship Tomb in the present. Therefore, it is important to investigate to find out: (1) Why there was a shift in the function of the area (from an educational area to a worship tomb); (2) what factors influenced it; and (3) What the impact on the regional constellation is. The systematic steps of the grounded research approach are used in this research. After the analysis carried out, it was discovered that the shifting function from the Education area to the Worship Tomb in Majasto Village occurred: (1) when KAM, which functions as the Islamic guardian, has died; (2)  The influence of political factors are dominated in the past (The Pajang I King) although the present governments are Sukoharjo Regency and Majasto Village Government; (3)  The changing of function has its implications for the development of the functions of area and agglomerations as well as regional constellations. This finding provides direction on the importance of documenting historical information in determining regional/urban planning policies.

About the Phenomenon of State Digital Platforms. Review of the Book by E. Styrin and N. Dmitrieva “Government Digital Platforms: Formation and Development”
Authors: Skazochkin Aleksander
Published: June 2022

The monograph under review is devoted to the study of the evolution of the formation of state digital platforms. A significant part of the book is a detailed review of academic research on information platforms, including international experience. An analysis of the experience of creating platforms revealed a number of significant differences between commercial and government platforms in terms of management, platform architecture, and network effects. The review notes that when analyzing international experience, the authors focus on generalizing the results, and not on spreading the “platform ideology”. When designing state digital platforms in Russia, the authors consider the incremental approach methodologically correct, which consists in gradually increasing the complexity of solutions, services, products provided by the platforms. The authors believe that the problem for our country is the development of tools for assessing social value to justify budget expenditures for the creation and development of platforms. The book proposes a classification scheme for government digital platforms based on compliance with basic criteria. The author’s description of the platform design process from the formulation of goals and objectives to the formation of the reputation of the platform and the preparation of projects for further changes is presented. The review noted the value of examples of platform development scenarios based on an analysis of thefunctioning of several existing and emerging platforms in Russia.
Modern Russian Society’s Social Health in the Dynamics of Demographic and Criminal Statistics
Authors: Morev Mikhail
Published: June 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of social health trends reflected in the dynamics of individual causes and classes of causes of population morbidity and mortality, as well as in the dynamics of certain types of offenses. The work reviews the period of market transformations and includes data on Russia, federal districts and subjects of the Russian Federation. The study is based on information from Russian and foreign statistical sources (the Federal State Statistics Service, the database of the World Bank and the World Health Organization).
The author looks at social health as an indicator of society’s adaptation to the changing social reality. We emphasize the fact that when analyzing social health it needs to be taken into account that subjective personality traits currently play a greater role than before, which is important when selecting empirical indicators.
Despite the steady decline in the dynamics of most social health indicators over the previous years, Russia has still remained one of the world’s leaders when it comes to the spread of a number of social pathologies, including population mortality from homicides and suicides. At the same time the aforementioned problem continues to bear a high degree of latency: according to various estimates, the actual scale on which social illness manifests exceeds by many times whatever is indicated in the official statistical information.
The paper concludes that, as the complex negative consequences of the “chaotic 90’s” wane, the problem of social health does not disappear, but instead manifests in different forms. It demands to be studied more closely at the level of public consciousness, social perception and behavior.

Published: June 2022

Power generation scheduling to cover the load economically is an important issue, especially with ever growing increased fuel costs. The effective power plant management has to give the economic factor of fuel cost and technical characteristics of the machines an outstanding importance. Input /Output characteristics of the power plants must be taken during economic dispatching of load. In addition, the fuel cost variation driven by the fuel market must be taken into consideration for economic operation of the power plants. In this paper, a study of the economic scheduling of generating plants of the Southern Electrical Network (SEN) of Saudi Arabia using input / output characteristics of the plants and the fuel costs is conducted. Results show that a substantial savings can be obtained from operation of these plants following variation in the fuel cost.

Optimization of Hybrid Power Systems Performance Based on Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System
Authors: Al-mahjari Maroof Qaid , Al-Dobhany Abdulaziz M.
Published: June 2022

Hybrid Power Systems (HPSs) is a promising solution for the shortages of electricity in several situations. However, HPSs are still facing several problems. These problems are the cost of electrical kilowatt-hour and repetitive breaking in the utility grid with existence varying loads. Besides the problem of non-optimal utilization of available renewable energy resources and the problems associated with the operation of large generators along small loads, which are the high cost of generation and the minimize in lifetime of the generator. This paper presents study and analyze the load profile and power system generation for a selected case. A fuzzy control system based on ANFIS has been proposed to optimize the performance of the HPS. The proposed system has ten ANFIS models, which linked to the outputs of the proposed control system. All models have been trained to achieve the minimum root mean square error (RMSE). The proposed system has been built and simulated using MATLAB.
Determinant of Resistance for ERP system in Private Companies in Yemen
Authors: Al-Taweel Sadik , Haithm Mohammed Hussein
Published: June 2022

In fact, ERP system has become required for many organizations particularly those organizations that have foundations in different countries. Recently, some organizations in Yemen have adopted ERP system but the usage of this system failed as it faced user resistance. Hence, the prime concern of this study is to investigate the resistance factors of Enterprise Resource planning from user perspective not organization or technical perspective to specify the basic reasons for user resistance to successfully adopting ERP system. Four factors are examined their association with adopting ERP. These factors are user training, resistance to change, user expectation, and system usage. A questionnaire was distributed to 200 of ERP end users. Linear regression analysis program was used to analyze the data and examine the relationship between user’s resistance factors and ERP adoption. The result shows that each of user’s training, resistance to change and system usage has a significant relationship with ERP adoption, However results show no relationship between user expectation and ERP adoption. This paper benefits management in organizations by providing the factors that contribute to adopt ERP system.

Keywords: ERP adoption, User resistance, User’s training, Resistance to change, System usage.
Resource-Use Efficiency and Firm Performance in Nigeria’s Manufacturing Industry
Authors: Joseph Dahunsi Olusola , Rosemary Soetan, Olufunmilayo
Published: June 2022

The study investigated the existence of technical efficiency among manufacturing firms and examine its effects on firm performance in Nigeria using firm level data between 2001 and 2017. Variables such as capital, labour, total overhead inputs, total firm output, competition, capital intensity, firm market share, technical efficiency scores and firm profitability were used in this study. Using the stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) to generate the technical efficiency scores, the study adopted System-GMM to examine the effects of technical efficiency on firm performance among quoted manufacturing firms operating in consumer (food beverages and tobacco), industrial and health (pharmaceutical) sectors in Nigeria. The findings revealed that 29% of the variation between the observed and optimal outputs is attributed to inefficiency among manufacturing firms. However, firm competitiveness significantly increases the efficient use of resources among manufacturing firms. This study further showed that technical efficiency variable has positive effects on manufacturing firm performance in Nigeria. The paper concluded that competition increases the efficient utilization of resources which positively improves firm performance in Nigeria’s manufacturing industry. Finally, the paper recommended that industrial policies should be geared towards promoting healthy competition (and not collusion) among manufacturing firms to attain optimal economic efficiency of resources.

Authors: Dirgantara Prakoso Satrio
Published: June 2022

Innovation at the individual or employee level is one of the best ways to develop a company. This study examines and analyzes several hypotheses including the influence of perceived organizational support on innovative behavior, the effect of perceived organizational support on organizational commitment and the effect of perceived organizational support on innovative behavior through organizational commitment as a mediator variable on employees of a developing retail company, namely PT. Brothers lay. In this study, the perception of organizational support uses the theory of Rhoades & Eisenberger (2002), innovative behavior uses the theory of De Jong (2010) and organizational commitment uses the theory of Meyer and Allen (1993). The results showed that there was a direct and indirect effect between the variables being tested. There is a direct influence between the perceived organizational support variables on innovative behavior of 0.439 with a significance of 0.000. There is an influence between the perceived organizational support variables on organizational commitment of 0.424 with a significance of 0.000. The last finding is that there is an indirect effect between perceptions of organizational support for innovative behavior through organizational commitment as a mediator variable of 0.142 with a significance of 0.000. This indicates that organizational commitment as a mediator variable is able to strengthen the relationship between perceived organizational support and innovative behavior.
