Recategorising an Arctic Hero
Authors: Lukin Karina
Published: June 2020

This article discusses the claims of entitlement and processes of rendering a story tellable in early twentieth-century Soviet Union through a case study of the play Vavlyo Nyenyangg. The play was co-authored by Ivan Nogo and linguist Grigori Verbov in the context of the creation of a cultural and political intelligentsia, as well as a literature and other modern institutions, for Nenets, an indigenous community living in northern Russia and Western Siberia. In analysing the manuscripts of the play, the alterations made to it and its final, published version, the article argues that Nenets writers collaborated with their Russian assistants by combining two different fields, the vernacular Nenets and the institutionalised socialist models, to create original textual products that both followed the socialist requirements and alluded to the Nenets oral narration. Shared knowledge, called either ‘folklore’ or ‘oral history’, was used as an entitlement for the indigenous writers to tell stories that were rendered tellable in the socialist context through choices in vocabulary and plot structure. These choices produced stories that erased some local contents, structures and interpretations but simultaneously produced new ones.

Authors: Herrera Barros Adriana Patricia , Acevedo Morantes María Teresa , Castro Hoyos Manuel Ignacio , Marrugo Ospino Leandro José
Published: June 2020

Nanopartículas de quitosano modificadas con alginato de sodio (QA) fueron sintetizadas por el método de gelación iónica usando como agente entrecruzante tripolifosfato pentasódico (TPP) con el propósito de evaluar su comportamiento como excipiente de medicamentos. Se prepararon cuatro muestras de partículas (QA1-QA4) con diferentes proporciones del agente modificante alginato (0,5 y 1 mg/mL) y entrecruzante TPP (1,5 y 2 mg/mL), con una concentración fija de quitosano (2,25 mg/mL). Estas nanopartículas fueron suspendidas en buffers biológicos para representar las condiciones de basicidad y acidez del sistema gastro-intestinal humano (pH 7,4 y 1,2 respectivamente). El tamaño hidrodinámico de las nanopartículas fue determinado a través de un análisis de dispersión de luz dinámica (DLS). A partir de estas mediciones se estimó un diámetro hidrodinámico de 152 ± 68 nm para la mejor combinación de quitosano-alginato-TPP. Se realizaron pruebas para medir la capacidad de encapsulación y liberación controlada de medicamentos de las nanopartículas sintetizadas usando rodamina-B como trazador. A partir de esta evaluación se observó una capacidad de encapsulamiento del 52 % y valores de liberación de la molécula trazadora del 36 % (pH 7,4) y 46 % (pH 1,2), sugiriendo así el potencial de estas nanopartículas para aplicaciones biomédicas.

POLÍTICAS DE MODERNIZACIÓN AGROPECUARIA Y DESARROLLO RURAL EN COLOMBIA (1996-2008)
Authors: Marín-Usuga Martin René , Casamitjana Causa Maria , Loaiza-Usuga Juan Carlos
Published: June 2020

Este artículo aborda las políticas de modernización agropecuaria colombiana desde el período 1996 - 2008, el cual estuvo expuesto a un cambio extremo en la tendencia de crecimiento de los factores agronómicos de productividad total (PTF) y sufrió uno de los períodos más violentos en Colombia. Este trabajo toma en consideración el sistema de crédito respaldado por el Estado que existía y tenía como objetivo permitir al sector agrícola competir con los mercados externos, buscando el equilibrio entre las medidas encaminadas a aumentar la competitividad del sector agrícola y las dirigidas al bienestar rural. En este contexto, Colombia está trabajando para aumentar la competitividad del sector agrícola; sin embargo, más del 95% de los recursos se proporcionan sobre la base de criterios financieros y menos del 5% se dirigen a otras necesidades. La financiación a través del crédito explica un aspecto de la evolución de la producción agrícola colombiana. Es por ello que los pequeños agricultores con un alto nivel de capital social tienen que competir utilizando las mismas reglas que los grandes productores, exportadores y productores emergentes, todos ellos favorecidos como sectores políticamente estratégicos en el Tratado de Libre Comercio (TLC). Esto crea un paisaje agrícola complejo, debido a que pretende mantener a los productores grandes, medianos y pequeños, mientras que el volumen de dinero otorgado no es proporcional al número de beneficiarios. Lo anterior significa que, en algunos casos, las políticas sociales agrícolas son ineficaces, perpetuando la agricultura de subsistencia con bajos niveles de tecnología y productividad. Sin embargo, existen algunas excepciones, como en el caso de los productores de café, banano, papa y arroz, apoyados por asociaciones de productores, que les permiten tener cierto peso político y, por consiguiente, mayor competitividad. Por esta razón, las experiencias del TLC deben ser revisadas desde un punto de vista técnico, económico y social.
APLICACIÓN DE MAPAS DE KOHONEN PARA LA PRIORIZACIÓN DE ZONAS DE MERCADO: UNA APROXIMACIÓN PRÁCTICA
Authors: Gámez Albán Harol Mauricio , Orejuela Cabrera Juan Pablo , Salas Achipiz Oscar Ancizar , Bravo Bastidas Juan José
Published: June 2020

Este artículo presenta una metodología basada en redes neuronales para realizar priorización de zonas de mercado visto desde un enfoque empresarial. En esta investigación se intenta dar solución a la incertidumbre que existe en la mayoría de las organizaciones en torno a la prioridad que tiene una zona de mercado; para ello se hace una búsqueda de los criterios más relevantes que las empresas tienen en cuenta para asignar prioridades a ciertos clientes. La problemática se sustenta por la ausencia de herramientas que permitan determinar la prioridad de una zona de mercado y la falta de una interrelación efectiva entre los departamentos de logística y mercadeo. Para ello se ocupan los mapas de Kohonen que son un tipo de red neuronal que facilitan el agrupamiento de clientes y permiten determinar cuáles de ellos son los que impactan con mayor frecuencia los criterios de priorización previamente establecidos. Finalmente, se presentan tres escenarios con fin de validar la propuesta formulada y ver que comportamiento tienen las redes neuronales en temas de priorización de zonas de mercado.

Authors: Rudnykh Svetlana Ivanovna , López-Ríos Víctor Ignacio
Published: June 2020

El diseño experimental es una etapa clave de cualquier estudio, ya que influye directamente en la calidad de las inferencias que se pueden hacer a partir de los datos. Los diseños experimentales inadecuados pueden causar problemas en la estimación de los parámetros del modelo y/o entrar en conflicto con la práctica común de laboratorio u otras directrices establecidas. En este artículo se considera el problema de la construcción de diseños óptimos aumentados bajo restricciones para superar estas dificultades. La técnica propuesta por Parker (2005) sugiere generar diseños experimentales que cumplen con ser óptimos de acuerdo con los criterios de diseño tradicional y prácticos de acuerdo con los criterios impuestos por un investigador a través del uso de las funciones de deseabilidad. En este artículo se presentan las pautas generales para la elección adecuada de las funciones de deseabilidad que intervienen en la obtención de los diseños óptimos penalizados con características deseables. Además, se ilustra la metodología propuesta con el modelo de Michaelis-Menten y se comparan  los diseños obtenidos a partir de diferentes funciones de deseabilidad.

Commercial mortgage lending: standardization issues
Authors: Ushanov Aleksandr Evgenievich
Published: June 2020

The article states that a loan secured by commercial property (commercial mortgages), as one of the most popular types of corporate loans has a number of advantages compared to other types of borrowing: the borrower is able to quickly get the necessary amount of money for any need - business expansion, working capital, ability to Finance large deals, and the disposal

of banks remains liquid assets, quick sale which will cover damages in case of default by the cus-tomer of the terms of the loan. It is confirmed that the product is characterized by specific risks,

often resulting in refusal of credit or their manifestations in the course of servicing the debt: unac-ceptable for the lender level of capitalization and liquidity of the collateral, the degree of occupan-cy of commercial real estate and the level of indexing of interest rates on leases; rental impropriety of the object for commercial use; encumbrances accept collateral in other liabilities etc. It is noted that one of the ways to improve the process of commercial mortgage lending in order to reduce transaction risks is its standardization. In the Russian Federation, the Association of Russian Banks is developing banking standards, which to date has approved more than fifteen standards (most

of them are banking business process quality standards and methodological documents). It is pro-posed to develop a Standard for the lending process secured by commercial real estate; a matrix

of requirements for the components of this process is provided, reflecting the best practices of leading Russian banks working in the field of commercial mortgages. In using the Standard, stakeholders are both credit institutions and borrowers.

Published: June 2020

The article describes the key factors in the development of the state economic system. One of the key factors is the stability of the banking system. Currently, the banking sector in Russia is characterized by increasing instability and a decrease in the reduction of opportunities to replenish the resource base. It is noted that the sources of developing the resource base of credit or-ganizations include own and attracted resources. Own resources include retained earnings, trust funds, formation of a statutory fund, additional contributions of shareholders to the statutory fund, mergers and acquisitions, etc. Borrowed funds comprise interbank loans, issuance of debt securities, term deposits, etc. The main part of the resource base of banking sector belongs to the large credit organizations. The structure and mechanism of creating own and attracted resources by organizations of the banking sector are examined in detail. A review and analysis of existing methods of raising funds by credit organizations is presented. The main trends in changing the resource base have been studied; the assessment of the indicators characterizing the volume and dynamics

of bank liabilities at the present stage has been presented. It has been found that the mechanism

of forming the resource base of the banking sector has the certain difficulties. A key problem in or-ganizing fundraising mechanisms is the imbalance in long-term assets and liabilities. Today, credit organizations form a significant part of their resources from short-term sources. There has been in-ferred the existence of a priority task for the credit organizations in order to increase competition and liquidity: credit organizations have to choose a method to form a resource base that, at minimal cost, will ensure the payment of dividends, replenish reserves and funds, and provide necessary conditions for the effective development of the organization activities.

The phenomena of financial behavior of Russians (on the example of clients of Sberbank of Russia)
Authors: Smirnov V. A.
Published: June 2020

The article examines the financial behavior of Russian customers of Sberbank of Russia. As an information base of the study, we use aggregated open data on the behavior of the Bank’s customers in all regions of Russia.

The author characterizes the key trends of financial behavior of Russians, pointing to the growth of the tendency to saving.

The article describes two models of financial behavior of the Bank’s customers. In the first, citizens are focused on the widespread use of credit funds, regardless of their own income. The second involves a more rational attitude to finance and is determined by the size of the average wage. The article concludes about the low financial literacy of Russians, which is manifested in the use of such inefficient financial instruments as bank deposit for savings and investments. The author points out that only a small part of Russians have formulated a financial strategy, a comprehensive plan of personal investments using a wide range of tools such as individual investment account, mutual funds, stock and bond markets.

At the end of the article, some aspects of regional specifics of financial behavior are considered. Subjects of the Russian Federation are analyzed through the prism of the volume of bank deposits, expenses on plastic bank cards, the volume and number of mortgage and consumer loans.
Teaching Democracy: Tools and Methods in the Secondary Education

Published: June 2020

Political and Social scientists, since the end of the 20th century, have been concerned about youth’s “withdrawal” from participating in public life. This paper addresses the issue of teaching Civic Education and presents new didactic and interactive tools that can be used in the educational process. Introducing the meaning of Democracy to students takes place in compulsory education but during Secondary Education is taught extensively with the aim of creating responsible and interactive citizens. Therefore, students are exercised in democratic procedures during courses, interactive learning and by electing students’ board into school premises in order to motivate political participation and political understanding. However, an individual is not considered as a citizen only on the election day. To this end, thematic workshops were designed and implemented by using the principle of deliberation in schools in the area of Thessaloniki (Greece), in the context of the course "Contemporary World, Citizen and Democracy" in Secondary Education. The workshops focused on the familiarization with the Greek and European Parliament functions into the school communities by interactive and experiential learning. At the end of this approach, a survey was conducted to students concerning their opinion about deliberation and electoral procedures. In that terms, we aim to develop a structured and interactive Civic Education curriculum that will help shape active and responsible citizens. Our teaching practice is based on mathematical skills and statistical concepts to cultivate further the concepts of democracy and representation.

Authors: Veryanti Putu Rika , Wulandari Ainun
Published: June 2020

Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic airway disease which is characterized by progressive airway obstruction. Bronchodilators and corticosteroids are the first choices of therapy in COPD patients. The goal therapy of COPD patients is to prevent respiratory failure, which can impact on death. But nowadays, the mortality rate due to COPD continues to increase. WHO predicts mortality from COPD in the year 2030 will be ranked third in the world. This high mortality can be caused by the ineffectiveness of therapy given. Objective: The aim of this study is to find out the effectiveness of bronchodilator and corticosteroid treatments in COPD patients. Methods: An observational study conducted retrospectively in the 2018 period at Fatmawati Central General Hospital. The effectiveness of therapy was assessed from the patient's clinical condition, blood gas values (PaO2 & PaCO2) and the average length of stay (AvLOS). Results: COPD was mostly suffered by males (83,33%), and the highest age for COPD was in the range of 45 years and above (90%). Bronchodilator that commonly prescribed were albuterol (30.08%), ipratropium bromide (12.2%), fenoterol hydrobromide (10.57%), terbutaline sulfate (8.13%), theophylline (1.63%) and aminophylline (5.69%), while the corticosteroids were budesonide (17.07%), methylprednisolone (9.76%) and dexamethasone (4.88%). Bronchodilator and corticosteroid had improved patient's clinical condition (96.67% patients) and also improved PaO2 & PaCO2 values patients. There was a significant improvement in PaO2 and PaCO2 value in COPD patients (p <0.05). Conclusion: Bronchodilator and corticosteroid in COPD patients had improved patient's clinical condition and PaO2 & PaCO2 values, but the average length of stay exceeds the standard (6-9 days).

Authors: AKIN Ahmet Cumhur , SİPAHİ Cevat , ÇEVRİMLİ Mustafa Bahadır , MAT Burak , GÜNLÜ Aytekin
Published: June 2020

Hayvansal üretim faaliyeti gerçekleştiren çiftliklerde İnsan Kaynakları Yönetimi (İKY) konusu, işletme yönetici/sahipleri tarafından genellikle göz ardı edilebilen bir husus olmaktadır. Hâlbuki hayvansal üretimde ekipman sayısı ve teknoloji kullanımı artmasına rağmen, çiftliklerde nitelikli işgücünün önemi azalmamaktadır. Bunun en önemli sebeplerinden birisi hayvansal üretimin temelinde canlı süje olması ve deneyimli personelin varlığının çiftliğin hedeflediği başarıya ulaşmasını kolaylaştırmasıdır. Bu araştırma ile Türkiye’de örneklem dahilinde büyükbaş hayvancılık işletmelerinde işletme yöneticilerinin/sahiplerinin; işgücü yönetimi, personel temini ve devamlılığı konularındaki temel uygulamaları ile bu konudaki görüş ve beklentilerinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda Aksaray, Burdur, Isparta ve Konya illeri genelinde 65 çiftlik yöneticisi/sahibi ile yüz yüze görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada kullanılan “Çiftlik Yöneticisi İş Gücü Memnuniyeti Formu” çiftlik yönetici veteriner hekim, işletme müdürleri, akademisyenler gibi alanında uzman kişilerle birlikte Delphi süreci ile geliştirilmiştir. Çiftlik Yöneticisi İş Gücü Memnuniyeti-Ölçeği soruları sırası ile “Personelle İletişim”, “Çiftlik Başarısında Personel”, “Terfi ve Aidiyet” ve “İşgücü Yönetimi” olmak üzere 4 faktör altında isimlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler faktör analizi yöntemi ile değerlendirilmiştir. İlgili ölçeğin verilerinin faktör analizine uygun olduğu (p<0,05) ve genel olarak faktör analizi sonuçlarına göre ölçme aracının yapı geçerliliğinin sağlandığı söylenebilir. Sonuç itibariyle Türkiye’de hayvancılık sektöründe insan kaynakları yönetimi, artan ölçek ve yatırım miktarları ile her geçen gün daha da önem kazanmaktadır. Orta ve büyük ölçekli işletmelerde kalifiye personelin devamlılığı, personel verimliliği işletmelerin karlılığını ve ekonomik hedeflerine ulaşabilmesinde doğrudan rol oynamaktadır. Bu nedenle hayvancılık sektöründe yönetici pozisyonundaki kişilerin değişen üretim yapısı ile birlikte çiftliklerinde işgücü memnuniyetini artırmaları, İnsan Kaynakları Yönetimi (İKY) konusunda gerekli eğitimi almaları ve sahada-işletmelerinde buna yönelik uygulamaları hayata geçirmeleri çiftliğin ekonomik hedeflerine başarıyla ulaşmasında hayati bir öneme sahiptir.

Effect of Drying Temprature on some Properties of Polymer Composite with Epoxy K-153 Matrix
Authors: Thanh Nguyen Trung
Published: June 2020

The article introduces the effects of drying temperature on curing level, thermal endurance, thermal oxidation resistance, surface structure morphology of polymer composite material based on K-153 epoxy resin (K-153 epoxy resin is made from ED-20 epoxy resin modified by thiokol and oligomer acrylate), T-13 glass fiber and hardener polyethylenepolyamine. The results show that the thermal endurance, thermal oxidation resistance, surface structure morphology of polymer composite change much when the drying temperature changes. When the drying temperature increases from 60°C to about 80°C, the structure of the polymer composites are tighter, the thermal endurance, thermal oxidation resistance also increases, however, if the drying temperature is continued to increase, these properties of the material will reduce.

In this paper, the influence of paraffinic oil on the physical mechanical and thermal properties of three EPDM rubbers types Buna EP T.6465, Keltan 5260Q and Keltan 6160 D have been investigated. The results showed that the tensile strength and the elongation at break of Keltan 5260Q and Keltan 6160 D with 10 phr paraffinic oil represent the improvement of 57.8% to 57.6% and 71% to 81% respectively, compared to EPDM rubbers without paraffinic oil. The mean peel force of EPDM keltan 6260D with 10 phr paraffinic oil loaded is about 36% and 32.5% higher than that of keltan 5260Q and EP.T 6465 respectively. Beside that at the suitable paraffinic oil contents, the thermal resistance of Keltan 5260 Q and 6160D seems to be a little higher than that of without processing oil and these EPDM rubbers are suitable for application to high thermal resistance rubber products.
Biostratigraphy of the Tapinocephalus Assemblage Zone (Beaufort Group, Karoo Supergroup), South Africa
Authors: Day M.O. , Rubidge B.S.
Published: June 2020

The Tapinocephalus Assemblage Zone is the second oldest tetrapod biozone of the Beaufort Group (Adelaide Subgroup, Karoo Supergroup), biostratigraphically positioned between the underlying Eodicynodon and overlying Endothiodon assemblage zones. It is characterised by a rich fossil tetrapod assemblage comprising basal members of most therapsid clades, but particularly dinocephalians such as Moschops capensis and basal pareiasaurs such as Bradysaurus in co-occurrence with the pylaecephalid dicynodonts Robertia and Eosimops. It corresponds to the upper two thirds of the Abrahamskraal Formation, is Capitanian (Guadalupian) in age, and reaches a maximum thickness of around 1500 m. The biozone is here separated into two subzones: a lower Eosimops – Glanosuchus Subzone and an upper Diictodon – Styracocephalus Subzone. The contact between the two subzones is defined by the first appearance of Diictodon feliceps, which closely corresponds to the base of the Moordenaars Member. The uppermost part of the biozone contains the Capitanian mass extinction and the low diversity fauna in its immediate aftermath. The zone is terminated by the first appearance of Endothiodon bathystoma.
Biostratigraphy of the Cistecephalus Assemblage Zone (Beaufort Group, Karoo Supergroup), South Africa

Published: June 2020

The late Permian (Lopingian) Cistecephalus Assemblage Zone (CiAZ) of the Karoo Supergroup in South Africa has recently been radiometrically-dated to range from 256 to 255 My. It encompasses approximately one million years of the late Wuchiapingian epoch, at a time when the ancient intra-continental lowlands of southern Gondwana had fully recovered from the end-Guadalupian mass extinction. The diverse Cistecephalus Assemblage Zone fauna is dominated by the small herbivorous dicynodonts Diictodon, Pristerodon and the molelike Cistecephalus, along with a range of larger dicynodont herbivores including Oudenodon, Aulacephalodon, Rhachiocephalus, Dinanomodon and rare Endothiodon. The attendant large carnivores include the gorgonopsians Aelurognathus, Rubidgea, and Smilesaurus, while smaller carnivores are represented by eutherocephalians (e.g., Ictidosuchoides, Ictidosuchops) and small gorgonopsians (e.g., Aloposaurus, Scylacocephalus). Of the parareptiles, the large-bodied taxon Pareiasaurus is most common, with the diminutive pareiasaurs Anthodon, Nanoparia, and Pumiliopareia making their first appearance. Lithostratigraphically, the biozone for the most part coincides with the arenaceous Oukloof and lower Steenkampsvlakte members in the western sub-basin and the equivalent Oudeberg and lower Daggaboersnek members in the east, where it reaches its maximum thickness of 300 m. The Cistecephalus Assemblage Zone thins westwards to 120 m at Teekloof Pass, and eastwards to approximately 100 m near the town of Fort Beaufort.

The Scalenodontoides Assemblage Zone (SAZ) is the oldest fossil tetrapod biozone of the Stormberg Group (Karoo Supergroup) and preserves the oldest dinosaur bearing deposits in the Karoo Basin. The SAZ represents a revision of the ‘Euskelosaurus’ Range Zone, whose taxonomic basis has been undermined because ‘Euskelosaurus’ is well demonstrated to be a nomen dubium. Recent qualitative and quantitative investigations into the biostratigraphy of the Elliot and Clarens formations have resulted in the ﬁrst biostratigraphic review of all lower Elliot Formation (lEF) taxa in nearly 40 years. Thus, we replace the ‘Euskelosaurus’ Range Zone with a new biostratigraphic assemblage zone, the Scalenodontoides Assemblage Zone (SAZ). Named after the traversodontid cynodont Scalenodontoides macrodontes, which co-occurs with the sauropodomorphs Blikanasaurus cromptoni and Melanorosaurus readi. The SAZ is currently accepted to range in age between the upper Norian and Rhaetian. Our new biozone, which reaches a maximum thickness of ~200 m, is wholly contained within the lower Elliot Formation (Stormberg Group, Karoo Supergroup).

The world in one hand, now is no longer just an advertising tagline. It really has become a reality, when the gadget in our hands is able to present all the information needs of the entire world. Not just information, various entertainment can also be found in gadgets. From movies, music, drama series, talk shows, comedy, and various shows owned by influencers or YouTubers that are entertainment. And special, the audience in gadgets only watch the shows they like. There's no way they would waste their quota to watch a program they don't like. The question is, did television audiences still have an audience in such an era? As we all know, television viewers cannot just watch what they like, because in the program they are watching, it is likely that other programs that they dislike (such as advertisements) are tucked away. This paper tries to reveal, is it true that online media can replace conventional media? Or is it true that conventional media has been abandoned by the audience? The results of this study revealed that not all viewers left conventional media. Similarly, not all programs can be enjoyed online. Keywords: Conventional Media; Online Media; The audience.

This study was conducted to evaluate Patient Experience in primary health clinics in the province of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). A quantitative study approach included 280 participants. The descriptive cross sectional study utilised a self-administered questionnaire as the research instrument, which was distributed to the target population of primary health care (PHC) users. The overall Patient Experience-Satisfaction showed that more than half of the respondents were not satisfied with the current Patient Experience in the primary health clinic. There was a significant association with age and the overall Patient Experience-Satisfaction (p<0.05). Older patients indicate a favourable Patient Experience when compared to younger patients, who are more critical of the Patient Experience elicited in primary health clinics. The results showed that gender did not significantly affect the overall Patient Experience-Satisfaction (p=0.957). Race significantly affected Patient Experience (p value = 0.011) with black respondents having a significantly lower mean rank of Patient Experience when compared to Indian respondents. There was an overall negative perception toward the Patient Experience elicited in users. There is an urgent need to review the service delivery of clinics. The need for a Patient Experience Model is highlighted for the health sector in South Africa.

While the number of students who choose to enrol in various postgraduate academic programmes continues to increase, the number of postgraduate students who graduate each year remains low. This requires institutions of higher learning to establish which factors and study modes are likely to promote an environment that is conducive to learning for postgraduate students. The experiences of postgraduate students can be used to promote a positive learning environment for postgraduate students. The objective of this study was to explore and describe the experiences of postgraduate nursing students enrolled in postgraduate nursing diploma coursework and research at the University of Namibia with a view to describe what aspects affect their learning. An exploratory, descriptive and qualitative design was used. The study was contextual in nature. A sample of seven students participated in the study. Purposive sampling was used. Data were collected from semi-structured interviews conducted with seven postgraduate diploma nursing students. The data were analysed through qualitative content analysis. The following four themes were identified: individual experiences, academic factors, institutional factors, and suggested improvement measures which included an improved research approval process and institutional support system to enhance postgraduate studies. The findings of this study highlighted the need for well-articulated actions to deal with the negative challenges identified in the study by offering more academic support to the students during their research proposals and research project writing.
