Authors: Joaddan K.
Published: June 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the role of emotional appeals in international advertising campaigns in Cameroon.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Research on the role of emotional appeals in international advertising campaigns in Cameroon indicates that emotions play a significant role in influencing consumer behavior and brand perception. Emotional appeals, such as humor, nostalgia, and empathy, have been found to effectively capture consumers' attention and evoke positive attitudes toward advertised products or services. However, cultural nuances and socio-economic factors must be considered when crafting emotional appeals for international advertising in Cameroon. While certain emotions may resonate universally, others may vary in effectiveness depending on cultural values and preferences. Therefore, successful international advertising campaigns in Cameroon require a careful balance of emotional appeals that align with local cultural norms and resonate with the target audience's emotions, ultimately leading to increased brand engagement and purchase intent.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Cultural dimensions' theory, elaboration likelihood model and cross-cultural consumer behavior framework may be use to anchor future studies on assessing the role of emotional appeals in international advertising campaigns in Cameroon. Marketers should prioritize crafting emotionally resonant narratives that are tailored to specific cultural nuances while maintaining a cohesive brand message. Policymakers should advocate for policies that promote cultural sensitivity and inclusivity in international advertising practices.

Published: June 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the cross-cultural influences on advertising effectiveness in Somalia.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Cross-cultural influences on advertising effectiveness highlight the intricate interplay between cultural values, norms, and consumer behavior. Studies suggest that advertisements resonating with cultural values of a target audience tend to be more effective. Cultural dimensions such as individualism-collectivism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity-femininity shape consumer responses to advertising messages. Additionally, factors like language, symbols, and cultural references play pivotal roles in crafting culturally relevant advertisements. However, challenges arise in navigating cultural nuances, avoiding stereotypes, and ensuring message authenticity. Successful cross-cultural advertising requires deep understanding, cultural sensitivity, and adaptation to local contexts to effectively engage diverse audiences across the globe.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Hofstede's cultural dimensions' theory, cultural adaptation theory and acculturation theory may be use to anchor future studies on assessing the cross-cultural influences on advertising effectiveness in Somalia. Marketers should prioritize conducting rigorous cross-cultural research to understand the cultural nuances and preferences of target audiences in different markets. Policymakers should advocate for industry-wide guidelines and standards that promote cultural sensitivity in advertising practices.

Authors: K.O Hannah
Published: June 2024

Purpose: A high achievement in Chemistry can be determined by many factors, some of which can be related to teachers, others to students and also school administration. One factor includes motivation which is that drive which makes an individual set a goal, initiate and maintain behaviors which lead to the attainment of the set goal. The purpose of our study is therefore to assess the effect of motivational strategies on the learner's performance in secondary school Chemistry in Kenya
Methodology: The paper used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes and to extract knowledge gaps.
Findings: Based on the findings the study concluded that students' perception in chemistry determines its achievement in examinations and that most students do not have positive attitude in chemistry. The research concluded that, levels of motivation changed with significant decreases in self-efficacy and increases in personal relevance and assessment anxiety which consequently influenced the performance in science. The study also found out that, high Relative Autonomous motivation positively affected good strategy and study effort, which in turn positively affected academic performance in form of grade-point averages.
Unique Contribution to Theory and Practice: The study recommends that the Government and school authorities should through the allocation of funds, materials and apparatus for sciences teaching make school laboratories more adequate for effective implementation for Chemistry curriculum so as to enhance students' performance. Students should be exposed to more laboratory applications and activities so that they can recognize laboratory materials and equipment
Effect of Temperature on the Efficiency of Polymerization Reactions Using Novel Catalysts in Cameroon
Authors: Djambo Andy
Published: June 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the effect of temperature on the efficiency of polymerization reactions using novel catalysts in Cameroon.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The study showed that temperature plays a crucial role in controlling the rate of polymerization and the properties of the resulting polymers. At higher temperatures, the polymerization reaction tends to proceed more rapidly due to increased kinetic energy, resulting in shorter reaction times and higher yields of desired polymers. However, excessively high temperatures can lead to undesired side reactions or thermal degradation of the polymer. Conversely, lower temperatures can slow down the polymerization process, potentially allowing for better control over the molecular weight and structure of the polymer. Additionally, the choice of catalysts has been found to interact with temperature, influencing the overall efficiency of the reaction.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Transition state theory, Arrhenius equation and catalyst deactivation theory may be used to anchor future studies on assessing the effect of temperature on the efficiency of polymerization reactions using novel catalysts in Cameroon. Industrial practitioners should focus on optimizing process parameters, including temperature, pressure, and catalyst concentration, to maximize polymerization efficiency while ensuring product quality and consistency. Encourage the adoption of sustainable polymerization practices by incentivizing the use of energy-efficient processes and catalysts with minimal environmental impact.
Influence of Substrate Concentration on Enzyme Activity in Bio Catalysis
Authors: Mbira Charles
Published: June 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the influence of substrate concentration on enzyme activity in bio catalysis in Uganda.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The study revealed crucial insights into enzymatic kinetics and reaction rates. Generally, as substrate concentration increases, the rate of enzymatic activity also increases, following a hyperbolic curve until reaching a plateau, known as the maximum velocity (Vmax). This relationship is described by the Michaelis-Menten equation. At low substrate concentrations, the rate of reaction is directly proportional to substrate concentration, indicating that the enzyme is not saturated and has available active sites for binding. However, as substrate concentration continues to rise, the enzyme becomes saturated, reaching its maximum catalytic capacity, where the rate of reaction remains constant regardless of further increases in substrate concentration. This saturation effect is due to all enzyme active sites being occupied, leading to a plateau in the reaction rate. Additionally, the enzyme's affinity for the substrate, represented by the Michaelis constant (Km), influences the shape of the curve.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Substrate concentration theory, steady-state theory and allosteric theory may be used to anchor future studies on assessing the influence of substrate concentration on enzyme activity in bio catalysis in Uganda. Provide guidelines for optimizing substrate management strategies in bio catalytic processes to maximize enzyme efficiency and reaction yields. Advocate for policies that support the adoption of optimized substrate management strategies in industrial bio catalytic processes.

Published: June 2024

Design ideation and selection of a two-stroke marine engine under-piston door employing Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ), biomimetics, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is presented in this paper. The study is motivated by exploring bio-composites as potentially suitable substitutes for conventional steel in engine component manufacture. As bio-composites possess lower mechanical properties compared to steel, the geometrical redesign was deemed necessary for any potential material substitution to take place. New under-piston door designs were ideated through the synergy between TRIZ and biomimetics. Computational models were developed, inspired by the Amazon waterlily, the tortoiseshell and the spider web. Mechanical simulation was performed for maximum stress (von Mises), total deformation and volume. With the simulated results of these designs, AHP and TOPSIS provided the solution’s capabilities to decide the best design overall. The design inspired by the Amazon waterlily proved the best and showed lower stress and deformation values compared to the original by 45.25% and 4.5%, respectively. This research provided conclusive evidence that with refined scrutiny of the TRIZ and biomimetic methods, along with AHP and TOPSIS, potential alternatives to conventional materials that offer environmental friendliness without compromising operational requirements can be realised.

Noise caused by industrial activities, urban life and traffic has a negative impact on people's health and quality of life. Environmental noise mapping is an important tool to study and address this problem. Through specialized measurement and analysis techniques, it is possible to identify areas at high risk of noise and under-stand the extent of the problem. This information can be used to develop strategies to protect the population exposed to high noise levels. In this paper, a method for collecting, processing, managing and mapping spatial noise data based on Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) and web mapping technologies is present-ed. The proposed method uses noise pollution data collected from citizens using mobile devices. This includes both on-site measurements and information on users' subjective perceptions, providing a comprehensive picture of the problem. This enables authorities to take into account the individual perceptions and needs of citizens when planning noise mitigation measures, which has not been the case in the inter-national literature to date. To achieve this goal, a prototype of a free and open-source tool called "Noise Pollution" was developed. The proposed methodology and the resulting system are intended to help improve the quality of life in noisy environments and protect the health of citizens. They provide a practical tool for collecting and analyzing noise data and enable the development of noise mitigation strategies for the benefit of the population exposed to high noise levels.

La siguiente investigación busca identificar posibles similitudes en los rasgos de personalidad entre los influencers cuencanos y sus seguidores mediante la aplicación del test de Myers-Briggs. Se lleva a cabo un estudio exhaustivo con el objetivo de determinar si hay características de personalidad compartidas entre estos dos grupos. En la primera fase del estudio, se administra el test a los participantes para evaluar su personalidad. Posteriormente, se clasifica a los participantes según los resultados obtenidos, lo que facilita la identificación de los rasgos de personalidad predominantes.
Después de la fase inicial, se lleva a cabo un análisis detallado de los influencers, teniendo en cuenta diversos criterios relacionados con su estilo de liderazgo y personalidad. Este análisis se ha concebido con el propósito de proporcionar una explicación más profunda sobre las posibles causas subyacentes de las similitudes o diferencias observadas entre los influencers y sus seguidores.
Al concluir, se demuestra que el tipo de personalidad, el estilo de liderazgo, el contenido y el enfoque de los mensajes están estrechamente relacionados con los resultados obtenidos. Se observa que la influencer A no comparte rasgos de personalidad con sus seguidores, mientras que la influencer B sí presenta similitudes en su personalidad con su audiencia. Este hallazgo evidencia que la similitud en la personalidad entre los influencers y sus seguidores no es necesariamente una constante, sino que está condicionada por factores como el estilo de liderazgo, el contenido y el enfoque de los mensajes.
