This article aims to assess the contribution of Black Africa to the progress of humankind at the time of the Great Empires and even before. To do so, Africans must immerse themselves in the knowledge of their past. The background of West African civilization and history must serve as a rear-view mirror for the advancement of the current generation. Indeed, Basil Davidson, who was an important recorder of information about Africa, edifies us on the main discovery of this older generation based on his study of African iron tools. This invention contributed enormously to the improvement of the population’s well-being and the creation of families, and later villages. These were followed by the foundation of the first kingdoms, culminating in empires such as Ghana, Mali, Songhayand other kingdoms like Senegamby, Mossi, Igbo, Asante, Bono, and Kanem-Bornu. During this period of prosperity, man belonged to his community. The people of the past were imbued with values that placed the interests of the group above those of the individual. Then came the interval between the end of the empires and the independence of West African countries. During this era, the influence of Europeans through slavery and colonization was a heavy weight on their heads. The methodology uses both descriptive and qualitative analyses. Utilizing the framework of Afrocentricity theorized by Molefi Kete Asante we will examine Davidson’s orientation to the data he discussed in order to seek an African perspective on the facts. It is from this angle that this article enlightens on how the writer addresses this question of civilization and prosperity in his work.
Cosmopolitan Ethics and the Politics of Religious Identity in Leila Aboulela's Novels: an Interdisciplinary Perspective
Authors:   Phd Student, UIZ University Agadir Morocco, Idyassine Mohamed
Published: May 2024

Leila Aboulela is a prolific Anglophone Muslim writer whose narratives inscribe in the postmodernist tradition of literary production. She engages with Muslim religious identity renegotiations in a transnational imaginary space. Literary critics consider her writings as an arduous write back to the underpinning discourses of Islamophobia, which gained momentum in the metropolitan cities of the West in the aftermath of 9/11. In doing so, Leila Aboulela overstresses the religious identity at the expense of other forms of affiliation and identity. In my thesis, I will invite philosophers of cosmopolitanism across disciplines to account for the inverse relationship between constructing religious identity and cosmopolitan ethics.

Authors:   Lecturer, Ph.D. Faculty of Legal and Economic Sciences, Constanta, Spiru Haret University from Bucharest, Romania, Postolache Mihaela
Published: May 2024

The establishment of the communist regime in Romania began in the immediate aftermath of World War II, with the seizure of power by the Romanian Communist Party (PCR) and the elimination of political opposition. The communist regime imposed a totalitarian ideology based on full state control over all aspects of social, economic and political life. During the communist period, the Romanian state was transformed into a totalitarian state with an authoritarian and centralized regime. Political power was concentrated in the hands of the Communist Party and the state became an instrument of its control. State institutions were subordinated to the party, and the separation of powers in the state was abolished in favour of an executive power dominated by Communist leaders. As far as the legal system is concerned, the communist period brought significant changes in legislation and judicial procedures. The law was used as a tool to control and suppress political opposition and all forms of dissent. Judicial proceedings were politicised and the independence of the judiciary was undermined in favour of the political interests of the communist regime.

This paper investigates the relationship between fiscal policy variables and private investment in Nigeria for the period 1970 – 2019 with a view to establishing the threshold level of each of the key fiscal policy variables in relation to private investment. The study employed annual and quarterly time series data covering the period 1970:1 to 2019:4 which were sourced in part from the Central Bank of Nigeria’s Statistical Bulletin and National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). Data collected were analyzed using econometric techniques. The variables used were private domestic investment, budget deficit, recurrent and capital government expenditure, oil and non-oil government revenue and public debt. The main findings are: First, there is an evidence of a double threshold effects of the fiscal balance. When exceeding a budget deficit level of 3.98 per cent of GDP or a fiscal surplus level of 3.2 per cent of GDP, private investment is negatively affected. Also, increase in government total expenditure beyond the third regime made private investment to become less productive. As regards public debt, the results revealed that private investment had the most positive impact on economic growth in the first regime of public debt. A resort to public debt beyond this level will make private investment less productive thereby inhibiting growth. The study therefore, concludes that government should be cautious in resulting to debt instruments to finance its deficit. It should also make a concerted effort to increase its expenditure especially in the provision of infrastructural facilities as this directly influence private investment decision positively.

The demand for various cultural experiences and easier access to travel has driven the exponential rise of the global tourism and hospitality industries in recent decades. However, the increased tourism has sparked worries about how it would affect the environment which led to a paradigm change in favour of sustainable methods. The phrase "green tourism" describes a collection of behaviors designed to reduce the adverse effects of tourism-related activities on the environment, society, and culture. This entails implementing eco-friendly programs, encouraging conservation, and cultivating community involvement. Similarly, green hospitality emphasizes eco-friendly procedures in lodging establishments, promoting waste minimization, energy efficiency, and ethical sourcing. The carbon footprint of travel is one of the main issues that green tourism and hospitality attempt to address. With the assistance of carbon offset programs and the promotion of environmentally friendly transportation options, like electric vehicles, the sector is coming to understand the significance of lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the implementation of sustainable building designs, energy-efficient technologies, and renewable energy sources in hospitality facilities helps to reduce their overall environmental effect. An additional crucial component of green tourism is water conservation. Water-saving methods, like low-flow fixtures and effective irrigation systems, are being implemented by accommodations to reduce water usage and safeguard nearby ecosystems. Waste management is essential to reaching sustainability targets in the tourism and hospitality industries. There is a growing movement to reduce the use of single-use plastics, encourage recycling, and establish composting techniques. Establishments promote the circular economy and lessen environmental deterioration by encouraging guests to dispose of waste responsibly. The effectiveness of projects aimed at promoting green tourism depends on community involvement. Forming alliances with nearby communities guarantees equitable distribution of economic gains and promotes a sense of collective accountability for environmental preservation. Moreover, maintaining the uniqueness of sites is aided by fostering cultural sensitivity and respect for local knowledge. To sum up, green tourism and hospitality mark a significant turn in the direction of a more responsible and sustainable sector. The tourist and hospitality industry may make a substantial contribution to environmental preservation by implementing eco-friendly practices, reducing carbon footprints, preserving water resources, handling waste responsibly, and interacting with local people.

Abstract. This research aims to determine the implementation of Physical Education (PE) learning management related to 21st-century skills based on the service length of PE teachers in various schools with different quality assurance cultures. The sample in this study was secondary school PE teachers in Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. This research employed descriptive statistics and inferential factorial one-way Anova to analyze the data. One-way Anova test results in Sig. 0.009 < 0.05 means a significant difference in the average of the three PE learning outcomes between teachers with work periods of 1-7, 8-15, and 16 years or more. Firstly, the Tukey post hoc test Sig value is 0.024 < 0.05, meaning there is a difference in PE learning outcomes between 1-7 and 8-15 years of service. Testing the two Sig values ​​is 0.983 > 0.05, meaning there is no difference in PE learning outcomes for working years 1-7 and 16 years and above. Test the three Sig values. 0.016 < 0.05, so there is a difference in PE learning outcomes between 8-15 and 16 years of service. This research concludes a significant difference in the average PE learning achievement between teachers with tenure of 1-7, 8-15, and 16 years or over. Thus, it can be concluded that the service length of PE teachers influences the effectiveness of implementing learning management containing 21st-century skills. Teaching experience plays a role in implementing teaching methods and techniques that suit the demands of 21st-century skills, including critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity. This underlines the importance of continuous professional development for teachers, especially in improving teaching skills relevant to the student's needs in the current era of the 21st century. The results of this research can assist policymakers, school administrators, and teachers in designing and implementing more effective PE programs in classroom conditions and prioritizing needs according to the conditions of each school.
De profundis : Psaumes du cachot
Authors: Whelan Ruth
Published: May 2024

Le rôle central du chant des Psaumes dans le protestantisme réformé français à l’époque moderne est bien connu. Sa signification globale en tant que pratique dévotionnelle, pénitentielle et consolatoire, est également comprise. En revanche, il manque un véritable aperçu, voire un accès, à la dynamique interne de l’appropriation des Psaumes par les protestants français à cette époque, et plus particulièrement par les galériens, en raison de l’absence d’éditions critiques de leurs écrits. Cette étude de l’intériorisation des Psaumes par Élie Neau lors de son incarcération à la Citadelle Saint-Nicolas et au Château d’If à Marseille retrace la manière dont cent vingt citations, réminiscences, échos sémantiques ou emprunts textuels à cinquante Psaumes présents dans ses écrits ont façonné sa spiritualité militante et sa résistance aux horreurs des galères et des cachots au cours de la dernière décennie du XVIIe siècle.

Modeling the business process of “working with a client” in BPMN 2.0 notation using the example of an advertising agency
Authors: Крюкова А.А. , Прибылов Н.С. , Киреева Е.С.
Published: May 2024

В статье выполняется анализ бизнес-процесса «работа с клиентом» в контексте рекламного агентства до и после внедрения системы управления взаимоотношениями с клиентами (CRM). Для достижения этой цели были построены две модели, представленные в нотации BPMN 2.0, описывающие состояния «Как есть» («AS IS») и «Как должно быть» («TO BE»). Моделирование бизнес-процесса позволило выделить основные дефициты в существующей системе работы с клиентами, представленной моделью «AS IS». Среди недостатков отмечены отсутствие видеосвязи с клиентами, возможности взаимодействия с клиентами через мессенджеры, отсутствие возможности мониторинга графиков размещения рекламно-информационных материалов в системе или изменения их цен, а также несвоевременное предоставление технической поддержки. Применение модели «TO BE» позволяет выделить ключевые преимущества, которые достигаются в результате внедрения дополнений к CRM-системе. К ним относятся упрощение взаимодействия с клиентами через внедрение видеоконференций и общение в мессенджерах, использование дополнительного соглашения об уровне сервиса (SLA), а также интеграция с учетными системами.

The article analyzes the business process of “Working with a client” in the context of an advertising agency before and after the introduction of a customer relationship management (CRM) system. To achieve this goal, two models were built, presented in the BPMN 2.0 notation, describing the states “AS is” (“AS IS”) and “As it should be” (“TO BE”). Modeling of the business process made it possible to identify the main deficits in the existing customer service system represented by the “AS IS” model. Among the disadvantages are the lack of video communication with customers, the lack of the ability to interact with customers through messengers, the lack of the ability to monitor schedules for placing advertising and information materials in the system or changes in their prices, as well as the late provision of technical support. The use of the “TO BE” model allows you to highlight the key advantages that are achieved as a result of the introduction of additions to the CRM system. These include simplifying customer interaction through the introduction of video conferencing and instant messaging, the use of an additional service Level agreement (SLA), as well as integration with accounting systems.

В рамках улучшения антикоррупционного контроля в системе бюджетирования предложены специальные меры, адаптированные для проведения физкультурно-массовых мероприятий.

This article analyzes the directions and ways to improve anti-corruption control in the budgeting system for physical culture events. As a result of the analysis, the main shortcomings in the mechanism of anti-corruption control in the budgeting system were identified, which are associated with the inconsistency of norms and rules with objective reality in the field of anti-corruption control. The key problem is the need to achieve objectivity and independence of anti-corruption control, which is complicated by the dependence of inspectors on higher government structures. The development and implementation of special educational programs for employees of this structure is highlighted as a key area for improving anti-corruption control in the budgeting system for physical culture events. As part of improving anti-corruption control in the budgeting system, special measures have been proposed, adapted for holding physical culture events.

Published: May 2024

Ignoring easily accessible information, facts, and expertise is a contributing factor in numerous problems in the healthcare system that lead to poor-quality healthcare services. It makes no sense to manage healthcare systems without the required data since doing so would prohibit the provision of high-quality medical care. An updated description of the Iraqi healthcare system is what this essay seeks to do. On the Iraqi healthcare system, we identified and assessed both published and unpublished data. Within the informational materials, both published and unpublished, are books, journal articles, and official reports and records of the Iraqi Ministry of Health. Also examined was the useful data that can be discovered on websites.  The data that were retrieved were all related to healthcare, including information on the organisational structure of the healthcare system, information on national healthcare policies, including the purpose, objective, and beneficial goals, information on the financing of the healthcare system, information on the provision of healthcare services, information on the workforce in the Iraqi healthcare system, information on the health of mothers and kids they have, as well as details on the state of the healthcare system in Iraq.

The article proposes mathematical models and stable numerical algorithms for solving problems of deformation and flow of water-saturated porous materials. This class of problems arises in many engineering and applied fields, from field development to biomechanics. Of particular interest are the problems of the collapse of the banks of rivers, lakes and bays of the seas due to their catastrophic impact on possible consequences, for example, blocking the riverbed, the occurrence of a tsunami on the water surface of a reservoir, etc. For the mathematical description of the stress-strain state of saturated porous media, the Biot theory of three-dimensional consolidation is used, supplemented by the kinetics of damage accumulation in the medium and the Drucker-Prager yield conditions. After the formation of the main yield surface (or crack) in the material at the moment of the beginning of the collapse, its rheological properties are presented in the form of a Bingham model with a mathematical description similar to the Navier-Stokes equations with effective viscosity. A characteristic hydrodynamic feature of the problem under consideration is the presence of a free surface. Numerical modeling of the considered problems is carried out by the finite element method. The evolution of the free surface and the occurrence of a tsunami generated by a landslide are investigated.

The conjugation problem and control problems for the 3D model of magnetostatics are considered. These problems are related to the design of three-dimensional magnetic cloaking shells. An elliptical metamaterial is chosen as a cloaking medium that fills a region which is topologically equivalent to a spherical layer. The solvability of boundary and control problems is proved, an optimality system is derived that describes the necessary conditions for an extremum, some properties of optimal solutions are established.

The problem of oscillations in a finite homogeneous chain of coupled harmonic oscillators is considered under special boundary conditions that ensure a stable flow of energy from one end of the chain to the other. The problem covers, as special cases, the classical problem of oscillations in a chain with free and fixed ends, as well as the problem of oscillations in a chain with absorbing and anti-absorbing boundaries. Absorbing boundary conditions are used in numerical simulation of wave propagation to minimize the influence of non-physical boundaries. An exact analytical solution to the considered problem is obtained. The dynamical system of the problem is studied. In particular, a description of the invariant subspaces of the system is given. The oscillatory properties of the system are investigated. The phenomenon of a significant increase in the amplitude of low-frequency oscillations has been discovered and studied. The problem is solved in Schrodinger variables. The solution is presented both in terms of infinite series of Bessel functions and in terms of natural oscillations (eigenmodes) of the system.

Based on the Lee vaporization-condensation model, numerical solutions were obtained that describe the process of growth and collapse of bubbles formed at the end of an optical fiber during laser heating. The simulation parameters are found for which the numerical solutions correspond to the observed experimental data. Using numerical modeling, the features associated with the dynamics of the growth-collapse of a cavitation bubble and the formation of heated jets are explained.

Cuti merupakan salah satu kewajiban perusahaan yang diberikan kepada karyawan. Proses pengelolaan cuti di Pusat Dukungan Operasional Layanan Pendapatan Daerah Pemerintah Provinsi Sumatera Utara pada saat ini masih dinilai belum efektif. Dari proses pengajuan cuti, informasi sisa cuti dan pesetujuan cuti masih dilakukan secara manual. Sehingga karyawan tidak bisa mengetahui sisa hak cuti pribadi dan kelemahan yang lain adalah proses pengajuan cuti kurang efektif dan efisien. Oleh karena itu, untuk meminimalisir kesalahan dalam proses pengajuan cuti karyawan, maka dibuatlah sebuah aplikasi pengajuan cuti karyawan berbasis web guna mempermudah proses pengajuan dan persetujuan cuti tanpa harus bertatap muka secara langsung. Pembuatan aplikasi pengajuan cuti karyawan berbasis web ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan bahasa pemrograman seperti Laravel, PHP, CSS, HTML dan JavaScript. Adapun tools yang digunakan dalam pembuatan aplikasi ini yaitu Visual Studio Code sebagai teks editor, Xampp sebagai web server, dan web server seperti google atau yang lainnya sebagai alat menampilkan hasil project.
