Regional Mineral Beneficiation Policy Interventions in the SADC: Stakeholder Perspectives
Authors: Isheloke Byelongo Elisée , Blottnitz Harro von
Published: May 2024

The Importance of Mineral Beneficiation: Mining is a significant economic activity in most Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries, and mineral beneficiation has been identified and controversially discussed as one of the possibilities for industrialisation. The purpose of this article is to study mineral beneficiation policies and practices in the SADC countries with regard to the regional developmental agenda.
Methodology and Interventions: With many member countries being economically too small to muster the human and financial resources, the recently adopted Regional Mining Vision (RMV) envisages interventions at a regional level. This study followed a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews across the region mainly in English and seldom in French.
Principal Results: Twenty-five semi-structured interviews were conducted with experts from SADC member countries during the 2019 Mining Indaba. Participants were divided on whether beneficiation should be carried out nationally or in the SADC region. While beneficiation could support value-keeping, key challenges named were infrastructure development (i.e. energy, water), scarce skills, access to technology and related cost, but also lack of free trade and movement.
Conclusion: We submit that a more integrated beneficiation strategy for the SADC region, as was being developed through the RMV, would indeed be relevant in the future.

Published: May 2024

The history of Translation Studies in Finland is still largely unstudied. Particularly little research has so far been done on scholarly publishing. The well-known exception to the rule is Gideon Toury (2009), who when studying the statistics of the prestigious journal Target from its first twenty years (1989–2008), observed that Finland was among the major contributing countries and thus a central country on the map of Translation Studies. This paper investigates what happened to Finland’s centrality in Target during 2009–2020, albeit with different methods. Furthermore, the analysis has been extended to five other well-known journals: Meta, Perspectives, The Translator, trans-kom and Translation Studies, in order to study Finland’s visibility in Translation Studies on a larger scale. The analysis shows changes in the proportions of contributing countries in Target. Scholars with a Finnish affiliation represented only 3 percent of all (co-)authors 2009–2020. However, when multiple appearances are calculated the proportions are slightly different, and Finland ranks ninth with Canada among the ten most contributing countries to Target. As to the other journals, Finnish scholars have a visible position (8 per cent of all authors) only in trans-kom, whereas in the four other journals, they represent 1–3 per cent of all contributors.
An insight from homogeneity testing of long-term rainfall datasets over East Java, Indonesia
Authors: Mulyanti Heri , Istadi  , Gernowo Rahmat
Published: May 2024

Robust, reliable, and trustworthy ground observation datasets are the preliminary requirement for assessing the impact of climate change over regions. Principal testing to assess the quality of ground observation rely on the missing data and homogeneity result. The study used 40 years of monthly rainfall documented from different topographical features in the monsoonal region of East Java, Indonesia. The test included annual rainfall, early rainy season (October-November-December), and primary rain season (January-February-March). The homogeneity of rainfall determined by absolute technique: Pettitt’s test, the Standard Normal Homogeneity Test, the Buishand Rank Test, and the von Neumann Ratio. Among the time series, October-November-December observation results in better homogeneity. However, the rainfall datasets during primary rainy season showed the worst homogeneity. By performing annual and seasonal homogeneity test from 67 rainfall stations: 5 stations out of data length required, 5% stations ‘rejected’, 11% ‘suspect’, 11% ‘doubtful’, and 73% were ‘trusted’. Therefore, a total of 45 stations can be used as metadata for relative comparison and 7 stations can be considered to be useful for analysis despite ‘doubtful’. The remaining 10 stations need careful consideration to be used for future water management.  Change point detected particularly between the year of 1997 through 2000. Pettitt’s test has outstanding results in the case of extreme climatic anomaly, but less sensitive of continuous abrupt change. The von Neumann test could detect abnormal data, but was not suitable for datasets containing few extreme values. The insights from homogeneity testing were: a) it is important to remove any outliers in the datasets before conducting homogeneity testing, b) both parametric and nonparametric homogeneity tests should be performed, and c) comparisons should be made with surrounding rainfall stations. Comparison with trusted long-term rainfall data is valuable for stations labeled as ‘doubtful’ or ‘suspect’ to mitigate false detections in individual homogeneity tests. The identified ‘useful’ rainfall data can then serve as reference stations for relative homogeneity tests. These findings suggest that reference stations should be assessed within similar rainfall zones.

Published: May 2024

Currently, SMEs in Mexico do not have a high investment to include technology in their daily processes. Therefore, it leads to delays in their administrative obligations and therefore inadequate financial planning. In this sense, technological inclusion is required in SMEs to help them improve competitively with large companies. This study focuses on developing software that allows SMEs of the Juan C. Bonilla, Puebla in Mexico to calculate their administrative obligations in social security, which allows them to anticipate their financial situation and thereby determine correct decisions. The methodology used in this work has an application purpose because it adapts to the needs of SMEs, whit a qualitative approach because it is based on natural environments, in terms of its depth it is explanatory because it determines the causes and consequences, with respect to the obligations administrative, finally is experimental because the calculation variables can be manipulated in relation to the development of the software with which elements that were not useful for SMEs were detected. In the background, a flow diagram was prepared that determined the basic operations of calculating social security for that later the software was developed through the computer language C++. The results obtained from the software were through the preliminary implementation in the laboratory to small businesspersons from the Juan C. Bonilla, Puebla, making known through a usability list the functionality of the software with respect to the interface and the time to obtain the calculation of social security of which 90% seemed adequate to its daily operations.

Ibn Abd Al-Hadi’s Fundamentalist Opinions on the Disputed Evidence
Authors: Hussein Ruaa Qasim , Alsaraj Raghad Hasan Ali
Published: May 2024

In this study, I will demonstrate the disputed evidence according to the scholar Ibn Abd al-Hadi, may God Almighty have mercy on him, and his approach in presenting this evidence with ease, comfort, and brevity that some may see as a misleading abbreviation, but when researching the fundamentals of jurisprudence, you will discover that the principle in this venerable science is the clarification of the fundamentalist rules upon which much is built, among the jurisprudential subjects. Thus, the expansion in explaining and justifying these rules and the use of many examples in explaining each rule is within the jurisdiction of the science of jurisprudence. Each school of jurisprudence has jurisprudential philosophies that differ from the others in the methodology of writing and composing. Because of the meaning of this evidence in many rulings, you will uncover expansion. Scientists have clarified this evidence to make it easier for people to understand it correctly by distinguishing its importance in many new matters. This is in contrast to what Ibn Abd al-Hadi states concerning the summary and brevity of this evidence. You sometimes find him satisfied with mentioning only the definition, and an example of this is what he revealed in approval and extrapolation.

Annotation. This article is devoted to the analysis of the need to model a system for assessing the economic efficiency of activities implemented by subjects of public control. In the modern world, the existence and development of individual independent and sovereign states is determined by the level of democracy in the organization and functioning of the apparatus of public power, which in its activities must take into account the interests and needs of the entire population of a particular country, or its overwhelming majority. In this regard, the role and importance of the entire set of civil society institutions in ensuring democratic regimes in individual national states is increasing. In the Russian Federation, the most important institution of civil society at the present stage is the institution of public control. The work substantiates the place and role of this institution of civil society as a legal guarantee of the system of constitutional rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of individuals and legal entities, the rights and legitimate interests of certain categories of legal entities.  The authors formalized and analyzed the main factors influencing the effectiveness of the processes of organizing and conducting public control events. The work examines the main problems and prospects for increasing the performance of subjects of public control in the Russian Federation. It is substantiated that one of the main conditions for increasing the effectiveness of the functioning of the institution of public control is the need to assess the effectiveness of the activities of the entire system of subjects of public control in Russia. The work has developed and substantiated the author’s definition of the concepts "effectiveness of activities of subjects of public control", "model for assessing the economic efficiency of activities implemented by subjects of public control". The main features of these concepts, their essence and content are investigated and analyzed. The article formulates and substantiates a model for assessing the economic efficiency of activities implemented by subjects of public control (since it is the most important criterion for assessing the performance of subjects of public control in particular, as well as the institution of public control itself in general), which is a systemic set of quantitative and qualitative criteria.
Disciplining the Female Voice: A Foucauldian Analysis of the Lairam Isua Krista Baptist Church’s (LIKBK) Gender Dynamics
Authors: Zuali Zarzo
Published: May 2024

This study interrogates the Church's professed commitment to human rights and gender equality, with a specific focus on its treatment of women and women theologians, using the LIKBK Church as a case study. Despite women's significant contributions to the Church's sustenance and growth, their voices and participation remain marginalized. Employing Michel Foucault's theoretical framework, this research critically analyzes the LIKBK Church's role in perpetuating gender inequality, highlighting the ways in which its power structures and discourses silence and exclude women. By examining the contradictions between the Church's rhetoric and practices, this paper reveals the institution's complicity in sidelining women's agency and perpetuating gender-based oppression. The case study of LIKBK Church provides a nuanced understanding of the complex dynamics at play and offers insights into the ways in which religious institutions can perpetuate gender inequality.

Published: May 2024

As part of the study of Islamic law, ushul fiqh demands that one be able to practically handle religious issues by using the ulama's defined principles of Islamic law. Applying Islamic legal theory practically calls for critical thinking abilities. Therefore, this research aims to find a learning formulation in Ushul fiqh that integrates efforts to improve thinking skills. To achieve this goal, action research was chosen as a research design which was carried out in three research stages, namely pre action, implementation action and post action. This design was chosen considering that the context of this research is oriented towards finding solutions to learning problems. This research involved 35 prospective Islamic religious education teachers who took Ushul Fiqh courses from one of the government-owned Islamic universities, which is quite popular in Indonesia. Data was collected through surveys and semi-structured interviews which were analyzed using a descriptive quantitative approach and qualitative with content analysis. This research produced seven stages as learning formulations that need to be implemented in the ushul fiqh learning process. The study concludes that the proposed seven steps effectively elevate students' thinking skills to the Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) level while applying usul al-fiqh principles. The findings suggest a promising pedagogical approach for cultivating advanced thinking skills within the context of Islamic law education. The main contribution of this study is to present a practical methodological guide regarding the steps for teaching usul fiqh, which is oriented toward improving students' thinking skills.

Spectrum Sensing Using Cooperative Matched Filter Detector in Cognitive Radio
Authors: Khalil Gaith , Aziz Ayoob , Ayoub Zozan
Published: May 2024

The vast rise in the number of internet-connected devices necessitates a more accessible spectrum. As a result, Cognitive Radio was already proposed as a solution to the problem of restricted spectrum resources by utilizing available spectrum which is assigned to primary users. This method allows the secondary user to utilize the spectrum whenever the primary user is not using it, and it does so without intruding with the primary user. Whenever the secondary user detects the spectrum, it faces many issues, such as complexity in sensing, leading to a lack of noise value, and the primary user is hidden to all secondary users. In order to tackle these challenges, many spectrum sensing frameworks were introduced in the literature. In this paper, an adaptive threshold matched filter detector and a cooperative matched filter detector frameworks are utilized to detect the spectrum and resolve the issues above. The probability of detection (Pd), probability of miss detection (Pm), and probability of false alarm (Pf) are the metrics used to assess sensing accuracy. To simulate suggested detectors results and proficiency, the MATLAB R2020a software was utilized. In comparison to earlier studies, the simulation conclusions reveal that the detection process starts with lower SNR values compared to previous work.

Published: May 2024

Introduction: The Russia-Ukraine conflict, involving major powers, has profoundly impacted global peace and security, sparking initial fears of nuclear escalation. Rooted in various factors, Russia's claim to Ukrainian territory stems from linguistic and familial ties, compounded by perceived American betrayal of promises made during the Cold War's end. NATO's expansion into Eastern Europe further strained relations, culminating in the Euro-Maidan Revolution. The alignment of Russian and Chinese interests against the United States signals a new Cold War dynamic. However, scholarly discourse debates whether this rivalry is a new phenomenon or a continuation of past tensions. Methodology: This paper employs qualitative research methodology to examine the authenticity of American promises to the Soviet Union regarding NATO's non-expansion. Through qualitative analysis, it seeks to unravel the complexities of geopolitical negotiations and ascertain the extent to which these promises were upheld. Results/Findings: The study sheds light on the historical antagonism between Russia and the United States, contextualizing the current conflict within this broader narrative. It highlights the ramifications of broken promises and geopolitical maneuvering, revealing the intricate dynamics of global power struggles. Future Direction: Further research is needed to explore the implications of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on international relations and global security. Investigating the evolving dynamics of the Sino-Russian partnership and its impact on the geopolitical landscape will provide valuable insights into the trajectory of contemporary power dynamics. Additionally, examining the role of regional actors and the potential for diplomatic resolutions to mitigate tensions is essential for fostering lasting peace in the region.
