Authors:   Kenyatta University, Murunga John , Kipchumba Heather ,   Kenyatta University
Published: June 2023

Allowing stakeholders to set the vision of a project and prioritizing results will enable them to possess the appropriate ideas throughout planning with the results remaining relevant to them during the project cycle. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of stakeholders’ engagement on the sustainability of donor-funded rehabilitation centers in Kiambu County, Kenya. The study was anchored on Stakeholder and Arnstein’s Participatory Theories. Descriptive research design was adopted and the targeted population was composed of 400 employees working in donor-funded rehabilitation centers in Kiambu County. The researcher used a stratified random sampling technique and a sample of 200 individuals participated in the study. Data was collected using a questionnaire and the results analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Linear regression analysis was adopted and the outcome showed that donor-funded projects succeed when functional stakeholders are included. Additionally, a project's long-term viability is influenced by the resources that underpin it, and by the amount of interest and involvement from its stakeholders. The study recommends that the National and County Governments in Kiambu County should establish laws that control the execution of sustainability for donor-funded projects and invest in stakeholders to guarantee accountable use of funds. During the period of implementation, those in charge of projects should make it a priority to ensure that all relevant stakeholders have access to the resources they need to engage fully in the initiatives. There has to be a mental shift on the part of those who stand to benefit from the donor initiatives as well as the society as a whole. In order to adhere to study ethics, the researcher requested approval from Kenyatta University, National Commission for Science, Technology and Innovation and the management of the rehabilitation centers in Kiambu County. Additionally, the data gathered will only be used for academic reasons, anonymity and confidentiality adhered to and the references and works used in the paper are acknowledged.

Authors:   Mount Kenya University, Ntamvutsa Aubrey , Gitahi Samson ,   Mount Kenya University
Published: June 2023

Several financial institutions in Rwanda have closed as a result of the current economic crisis, making it difficult to conduct this research. A country's economic well-being particularly that of Rwanda, hinges on the strength of its banking system. The purpose of this study is to investigate the strategic factors that contribute to the competitiveness of the banking industry in Rwanda. These factors include strategic product accessibility, strategic customer relationship marketing, strategic leadership, and strategic technology adoption. A cross-sectional survey design was used as the research methodology for this study. Bank of Kigali's current staff of 150 employees served as the sample population. Respondents were requested to fill out questionnaires and interview schedules, which provided the bulk of the study's data. These were the study's primary data collection points. Secondary sources, such as the National Bank of Rwanda's yearly reports, were also consulted for this study. Analysis of the collected data was carried out using SPSS. Thematic analysis was used to examine qualitative data, and the findings were presented in narrative format together with direct quotations from respondents. The study results reveals that It is evident that holding strategic products accessibility, strategic customer relationship marketing, strategic leadership and strategic technology adoption to a constant zero, banking sector competitiveness in Rwanda would be at 0.421. In Addition, any unit increase on strategic products accessibility would increase banking sector competitiveness in Rwanda by a factor of 0.224. Any unit increase in strategic customer relationship marketing would increase banking sector competitiveness in Rwanda by a factor of 0.222. Any unit increase in strategic leadership would increase banking sector competitiveness in Rwanda by a factor of 0.359. Lastly any unit in strategic technology adoption would increase in banking sector competitiveness in Rwanda by a factor of 0.304. Therefore, commercial banks are encouraged to consistently work to improve their strategic leadership, planning, creativity, technological proficiency, and human resource competence. This may be achieved by effective and proactive leadership, strategic planning, the use of cutting-edge technology, an innovative spirit, and strong adherence to employee training and development. To guarantee the commercial banks' long-term existence and stakeholder satisfaction, more study is needed on how the National Bank of Rwanda may improve its oversight and regulatory role.

Authors: MOHD RUSLI NUR FARAHKHANNA
Published: June 2023

Kajian ini dijalankan untuk menjelaskan hubung kait antara kesalahan ejaan murid dengan ragam bahasa dalam ujaran guru. Tumpuan difokuskan terhadap kesalahan vokal /i/ dan /u/  di akhir kata yang dilakukan murid dan kaitannya dengan ragam bahasa yang digunakan dalam ujaran lisan guru. Tiga orang guru Bahasa Melayu dan 114 orang murid tahun 1 dari Sekolah Kebangsaan Tun Abdul Aziz Majid, Hulu Langat, Selangor telah dipilih sebagai responden. Data diperoleh secara kualitatif, iaitu dengan menggunakan kaedah kepustakaan dan pemerhatian, dengan bantuan borang soal selidik, borang maklum balas dan alat perakam suara. Hasil kajian menunjukkan murid-murid tahun 1 menghasilkan variasi ejaan yang betul dan salah seperti ‘arif’, ‘aref’, ‘kamarul’, ‘kamarol’, ‘pergi’, ‘pegi’, ‘tidur’, ‘tidor’ dan sebagainya. Keadaan ini berlaku disebabkan ragam bahasa yang digunakan guru ketika menyampaikan proses pengajaran, iaitu ragam bahasa formal seperti [a.rif], [ka.mã.rul], [pər.ɡi] dan [ti.dur], dan ragam bahasa tidak formal misalnya [a.ref], [ka.mã.rol], [pə.ɡi] dan [ti.dor] yang menyebabkan murid-murid yang mendengar akan menulis kembali ujaran lisan yang dituturkan oleh guru. Dapatan kajian juga menunjukkan pemilihan penggunaan bahasa yang alamiah dan gangguan bahasa merupakan faktor yang menyebabkan berlakunya percampuran ragam bahasa formal dan tidak formal dalam ujaran lisan guru ketika melaksanakan proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran di dalam kelas. Dari segi implikasi, kajian ini bertujuan memberi pendedahan tentang kepentingan mengaplikasi dan membezakan sebutan yang betul dalam konteks situasi formal untuk mengelak kekeliruan dan kesalahan ejaan kosa kata dalam bahasa Melayu, khususnya dalam kalangan murid tahun 1.

Published: June 2023

Malaysia has its own identity through nationhood symbols. These nationhood symbols include the National Flag, the National Coat of Arms, the National Flower, the National Language and the National Anthem. This article discusses the Malay language as a symbol of Malaysia's nationalism. The methodology uses bibliographic research methods by referring to books, journals, magazines and print media copies. The results of the study found that the Malay language is one of the identities of the Malaysian nation that acts as a symbol of Malaysian identity, the unification of the voice of Malaysians, and a medium for unity among the plural society in Malaysia. As stated in the 1957 Education Ordinance, the Malay language serves as a medium to increase the understanding of unity among the plural society in Malaysia. The position of the Malay language continues to be strengthened when it is elevated as the main medium of instruction in the national education system as a part of the process of building a nation. The Malay language continued to expand with the emergence of the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) and the National University of Malaysia (UKM). This means that the Malay language symbolises Malaysia to the world. Furthermore, the Malay language is closely related to other ethnic languages ​​spoken in the archipelago. It is hope that the Malay language as stated in Article 152 in the Federal Constitution of Malaysia continues to be used as a part of ‘Language is the Soul of the Nation's.

Tourists’ psychological responses to terrorism: Framework analysis of fear-arousing walking interviews from the city centre of Munich, Germany
Authors: Krajňák Tomáš , Vágner Jiří , Schmude Jürgen
Published: June 2023

Even though research on tourists’ psychological responses to terrorism is substantial, it largely ignores on-site cognitive assessments and emotional responses. As a result, little is known about how location-related factors influence these responses. The present study intended to address these gaps in the context of urban tourism. Therefore, it aimed to evaluate on-site tourists’ psychological responses to terrorism in a city destination, while the emphasis was on identifying location-related factors that influence them. The study was based on framework analysis of fear-arousing walking interviews with foreign tourists (n = 24) in the city centre of Munich, Germany. Many participants self-reported the absence of fear of terrorism. However, all participants appraised terrorist attacks as possible within the city centre. The perceived probability varied among participants and visited sites. The differences can be explained by 12 identified location-related factors, of which the number of people and antiterrorism measures were key. Other factors, such as the way participants comprehended terrorism, also influenced their psychological responses to it. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.
Unique optimal solutions under circumstances of non-cooperative decentralization: Four Stackelberg game models applied to hotel- online travel agency channels
Authors: Chen Chi-Jen
Published: June 2023

The paper develops four Stackelberg game models to explore the hotels-online travel agencies relationships to demonstrate unique optimal solutions under circumstances of non-cooperative decentralization. The specific Stackelberg game models are divided elementally into leaders and followers according to the roles played; and, they may be further sub-divided according to the types of decision variables involving commission rates and room rates. Results show that two of the four Stackelberg models used to determine the optimal commission rates and room rates exist. In the first model, the online travel agency, acting as the leader, determines the commission rate; and, the hotel, acting as the follower, determines the room rate. A unique optimal commission rate and room rate is therefore evident. In the second model, the hotel acting as the leader determines the commission rate and the online travel agency acting as the follower determines the room rate. Optimal commission rate and room rate exist as well. This business model has yet to be explored in future research.

Published: June 2023

The Blockchain technology has significant and almost limitless potential. However, today their use for implementation is associated with the problems of lack of high-quality legal regulation of this technology; technical standards for its application; investments required for its development. These problems and the search for their solutions are especially relevant now, in the context of the financial crisis. In this regard, the purpose of the article is to analyse the legal mechanisms and tools that make up special and experimental regimes, the use of which contributed to the introduction of the Blockchain technology into industrial production, identifying their features in relation to individual countries, problems associated with their implementation and finding solutions. The research is based on comparative legal and system analysis, as well as methods of legal modelling and content analysis. The author comes to the conclusion that in order to increase the attractiveness of the legal climate for the implementation of the Blockchain technology, it is necessary, first, to develop a “high-quality” legal regulation, which will be possible in the case of prior testing of an innovative product (service) based on the application of this technology in conditions of the experimental legal regime (regulatory sandbox); second, to develop standards for normative and technical regulation of this technology; third, to improve legislation on the main tools aimed at stimulating investment in the creation and implementation of digital innovations, and Blockchain technology, including - on special economic zones, public-private partnerships and state support of companies-developers of the Blockchain services for industrial production.

Authors: Elakkiya K , Murugan M , Krishnamaoorthy S V , Senthil N , Vijayalakshmi D
Published: June 2023

Spodoptera litura, a significant insect pest of tropical agriculture, devastates more than 112 cultivated plants. It has become challenging to manage with insecticides alone as it develops resistance quickly. Cyantraniliprole, a newer insecticide under diamide, was introduced a decade ago and is widely used to manage several lepidopteran and hemipteran insects. This study was taken to look after the field efficiency of cyantraniliprole against S. litura and the possible mechanism of resistance development in cole crop regions of Tamil Nadu. The maximum LC 50 obtained was 0.20 mg/ ℓ in Theni population and the least (0.11 mg/ ℓ) in Dindigul, with no significant difference between the field populations. The resistance ratio observed in the field populations were between 1.89 – 1.09, indicating that the field populations were susceptible. Further, all three detoxifying enzymes, mixed function oxidase, glutathione S-transferase, and carboxylesterase, were found to differ irrespective of the time of insecticide exposure and the populations examined, indicating that they have no role against cyantraniliprole.

Role of FTL_0895 in Francisella tularensis Susceptibility to Resazurin
Authors: Morningstar Caitlynn
Published: June 2023

Resistance to antibiotic treatments coupled with the decline in antibiotic discovery has resulted in a steady increase in deaths caused by once “curable” bacterial infections. Developing new drugs is crucial to prevent more loss of life in the future. We discovered the compound resazurin exhibits antimicrobial activity against gram-negative bacteria including Francisella tularensis (Ft), however, certain strains of Ft have developed resistance to resazurin. Understanding how Ftdevelops resistance to resazurin will help with defining the mechanism by which resazurin elicits its antimicrobial effect. Whole genome sequencing of resazurin-resistant (Rzr) Ft LVS mutants revealed 93% of the isolates sequenced possessed mutations in the coding regions of FTL_0421, FTL_0895, and FTL_1504.  The focus of my project was to explore the role of FTL_0895 in resazurin susceptibility. To confirm this gene plays a role in the reduced susceptibility of the Rzr strains to resazurin, a wild-type copy of FTL_0895 was cloned into the Francisella shuttle vector pABST and thenelectroporated into one of the Rzr mutants, Rzr1.  Complementation with FTL_0895 did not restore sensitivity of the Rzr1 strain to resazurin suggesting that mutation of this gene alone is not responsible for resistance to resazurin. Therefore, we have cloned FTL_0895 into a different Ft shuttle vector pMQ2 so we can complement back Rzr1 with this gene in combination with either FTL_1504 or  FTL_0421.  Agar dilution and time kill assays will be conducted on the resulting Rzr-complemented strains to determine their susceptibility to resazurin.
Range reduction of the Appalachia Darter in the lower New River drainage with comments on the status of endemic fishes.
Authors: Welsh Stuart
Published: June 2023

The Appalachia Darter, Percina gymnocephala, is an endemic fish of the New River drainage in North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. Within the lower New River watershed, this species has a limited distribution range in the Gauley and Greenbrier river drainages, and conservation of the species could benefit from population status and threat assessments. We documented temporal changes in distribution range based on historic and current fish survey data. The range reduction of the Appalachia Darter is consistent with patterns found for other New River endemics, including the Candy Darter, New River Shiner, and Kanawha Minnow. The range reduction of the Appalachia Darter and other New River endemics in West Virginia waters likely has multiple causes, where threats could include land use, impacts to habitat and water quality, and nonnative species.
Active Hexose Correlated Compound as a Countermeasure against Cold-induced Stress during Chlamydia muridarum Genital Infection in Mice.
Authors: Shupe Emily
Published: June 2023

Chronic stress is known to suppress the immune system, but the influence of stress on the pathogenesis of Chlamydia trachomatis genital infection and host immune response remains unexplored A stress mouse model has been developed in our lab and we have demonstrated that cold-induced stress (CIS) suppresses the immune system and subsequently leads to increased intensity of Chlamydia muridaum in mice. We have started feeding mice with Active hexose correlated compound (AHCC) that may restore the function of the immune system and result in reduced C. muridarum shedding from the genital tract. During the feeding of stressed mice with AHCC, dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages bring the AHCC to T cells in the lymph node; however, the specific functions of DCs subsets in our stress model are not defined. We determined the production of cytokines by macrophages, CDs, and CD4+T in the AHCC-fed stress mice during C. muridarum genital infection. CD4+ T cells isolated from the spleen or lymph node of stressed-AHCC-fed, PBS-stressed, or non-stressed mice proliferated, and cytokine secretion was measured by ELISA. AHCC-feeding led to lower production of IL-5, IL-13, IL-10 and higher IL-12 (P<0.01) and IFN-

The objective of this research was to investigate the engagement of students in the use of innovative teaching practices, through the analysis of the mandatory curricular internship reports of 28 students from the undergraduate course in physics from the prof. Alberto Carvalho campus of UFS in the period from 2017 to 2020. For this purpose, the methodology used is characterized by an exploratory research of qualitative nature, with a bibliographic and documental research approach. As a result, it was possible to identify the predominance of the traditional teaching method as the main methodology, because the trainees consider that this method helps more in emotional control and facilitates time management, directing more dedication to the studies, they also exposed that, the main difficulty in using innovative methodologies is related to the disposition of time to prepare the classes, and not with the lack of skills needed to acquire a higher quality material. In this way, we can conclude that the internship needs to be under constant investigation and, by doing pedagogical reflexive analysis, it is necessary to seek in the student the elements that make up a teacher, since the internship is configured in an important moment of approach between the future teaching professional and the school.

The article presents a deck of cards about the electromagnetic spectrum and its applications, in two possibilities of games: “One radiation remains” and “Radiation battle”, in the context of initial teacher education. For this, the topic electromagnetic radiation was worked over six classes of 50 min each, within the discipline of Physics II for the course of Chemistry graduation at the Federal University of Acre. The sequence of classes included: 1) theoretical approach to electromagnetic waves, their characteristics and energy transport; 2) presentation of the electromagnetic spectrum, applications and curiosities; 3) moment of debate “FACT or FAKE?”; and 4) application of the proposed games. As a result, the greater participation of students in these classes stands out, bringing many comments and doubts about the topic. In addition, the game provided moments of dialogue and understanding about the radiation between the students themselves, while they played games. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of, during the regular disciplines of the degree course, the graduates have contact with different teaching methodologies and teaching resources, in particular the use of games, being applied by their teachers

This work aims to characterize the indicative elements of the contextualization and problematization processes in a class on the Laws of Inertia and Action and Reaction at the Science Club of UFPA, which is an informal internship space. Through the planning of the class, the report of its development, carried out with students from the 6th and 7th year of elementary school and from the written records of these students, elements that were present in pedagogical situations were identified that allowed characterizing the processes of problematization and contextualization during the application of a class in which the strategy of teaching science by research was used. It was observed that the behavior and dialogues of the students in the classroom presented contradictory arguments in the face of the proposed research situation. The relationships between the object of investigation and everyday situations were also used as indicators. Thus, from the initial problematization made by the teachers, the process of contextualization by the students was reached. We note the importance of the contribution of interventions to the teaching-learning process, during the mediations of the pedagogical processes, were more significant for encouraging and leading the student’s participation, and that knowledge is needed that goes beyond the content to be taught for the development of a contextualized teaching and the formation of the student as citizen and as a propagating agent of knowledge and information in accordance with the objectives of the National Curriculum Parameter (PCN) for elementary education Brazilian.
Entrelazadas resistimos

Larga y dolorosa es la lista de agravios contra las mujeres que se viene registrando hace décadas en territorio mexicano. Violencias múltiples que son eje articulador de un complejo entramado de dominación colonial, capitalista y patriarcal donde los cuerpos femeninos y feminizados han sido receptáculo y lienzo. Los feminicidios han ido en aumento sostenido en cifras y ensañamiento, de la mano: impunidad, indiferencia, injusticia en la mayoría de los casos, y la respuesta estatal a través de un complejo aparato institucional, interinstitucional y legislativo en la materia no ha significado el esclarecimiento, cese, reparación y no repetición de las violencias que matan.En estas condiciones socio-históricas, esta obra parte del supuesto de que la potencialidad de las luchas y resistencias se encuentra en prácticas políticas-otras que trascienden lo estado-céntrico y la gestión del capital, que enfatizan en el compromiso colectivo con la reproducción, sostenibilidad y defensa de la vida y de lo común. Desde la sociología histórica y los estudios latinoamericanos, la investigación se posiciona en el enfoque epistemológico del giro decolonial y el feminismo decolonial, hilando con una escritura autoetnográfica afectiva y textil, a fin de analizar cómo las organizaciones “Nuestras Hijas de Regreso a Casa” (2001-2021, Ciudad Juárez) y “Nos Queremos Vivas Neza” (2017-2021, Nezahualcóyotl) aportan desde una “política en femenino” a la lucha contra los feminicidios en México.
La producción del parentesco

En 1978, el primer nacimiento producto de una fertilizaciónin vitro manifestó, entre otras cosas, la prescindencia del acto sexual para generar descendencia. Desde entonces, la posibilidad de disociar los componentes biológicos, genéticos y volitivos ha interrogado los esquemas que forman la base del parentesco occidental. En Argentina, el desarrollo de la medicina reproductiva fue acompañado de transformaciones legislativas sin precedentes, que ampliaron y consolidaron los derechos sexuales y reproductivos. Los procedimientos de alta complejidad, donde intervienen óvulos y/o espermatozoides de personas ajenas al proyecto parental, aumentaron con el correr de los años. De acuerdo con datos publicados por el Registro Argentino de Fertilización Asistida (RAFA) en 2017, de los 12.277 procedimientos, 3767 fueron realizados con ovocitos donados y se lograron 989 embarazos. La práctica de la psicología orientada en reproducción humana asistida se ha visto interpelada por nuevas demandas. Esta obra es una invitación a la reflexión acerca de los cambios y transformaciones que se registran en el campo biomédico en general, y sobre la donación de gametos en particular.
Grandes ilusiones

¿Por qué teatros? Pocos edificios de una ciudad como los teatros sintetizaron, en el pasado, los anhelos y las aspiraciones sociales, los consumos culturales, los recursos económicos y los propósitos de quien o quienes los construyeron o frecuentaron en sus escenarios o en sus butacas. Parecen al observador desprevenido a veces iguales entre sí, pero no lo son. Se dijo además que eran para determinado espectáculo, pero ¿realmente lo fueron?En Grandes ilusiones se propone una mirada con perspectiva histórica sobre cinco teatros ubicados en ciudades del litoral argentino en torno al eje del río Paraná. No se trata de los teatros de las grandes capitales, aun si sus dimensiones y ambiciones no eran, en su origen, modestas. Sin embargo, debían tratar de combinar esas ilusiones con públicos y recursos demasiado limitados para sostenerlas y con costumbres persistentes o subsistentes. El estudio de estos teatros que podían ofrecer una ópera o una zarzuela, un teatro de revistas o un encuentro de box, representados por parte de esa varia humanidad transhumante que circulaba por sus escenarios, permite abrir, desde ellos, una pluralidad de interrogantes sobre la Argentina que se suele llamar moderna, sobre sus posibilidades y sus límites, sobre inercias y progresos de las primeras décadas del siglo xx.
