Transitivity Marking in Light Warlpiri, an Australian Mixed Language
Authors: O’Shannessy Carmel , Carter Amelia , Kalyan Siva
Published: September 2022

Light Warlpiri is a newly emerged Australian mixed language that systematically combines nominal structure from Warlpiri (Australian, Pama-Nyungan) with verbal structure from Kriol (an English-lexified Creole) and English, with additional innovations in the verbal auxiliary system. Lexical items are drawn from both Warlpiri and the two English-lexified sources, Kriol and English. The Light Warlpiri verb system is interesting because of questions raised about how it combines elements of its sources. Most verb stems are derived from Kriol or English, but Warlpiri stems also occur, with reanalysis, and stems of either source host Kriol-derived transitive marking (e.g., hit-im ‘hit-TR’). Transitive marking is productive but also variable. In this paper, we examine transitivity and its marking on Light Warlpiri verbs, drawing on narrative data from an extensive corpus of adult speech. The study finds that transitive marking on verbs in Light Warlpiri is conditioned by six of Hopper and Thompson’s semantic components of transitivity, as well as a morphosyntactic constraint.
A Novel Attentional Feature Fusion with Inception Based on Capsule Network and Application to the Fault Diagnosis of Bearing with Small Data Samples
Authors: Xu Zengbing , Wang Ying , Xiong Wen , Wang Zhigang
Published: September 2022

Fault diagnosis of bearing with small data samples is always a research hotspot in the field of bearing fault diagnosis. To solve the problem, a convolutional block attention module (CBAM)-based attentional feature fusion with an inception module based on a capsule network (Capsnet) is proposed in the paper. Firstly, the original vibration signal is decomposed into multiple intrinsic mode function (IMF) sub-signals by the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), and then the original vibration signal and the corresponding former four order IMF sub-signals are input into the inception modules to extract the features. Secondly, these features are concatenated and optimized by the CBAM. Finally, the selected sensitive features are fed into the Capsnet to diagnose the faults. Through the multifaceted experiment analysis on fault diagnosis of bearing with small data samples, the diagnosis results demonstrate that the proposed attentional feature fusion with inception based on Capsnet not only diagnoses the fault of bearing with small data samples, but also is superior to other feature fusion methods, such as feature fusion with inception based on Capsnet and attentional feature fusion with inception based on CNN, etc., and other single diagnosis models such as Capsnet with CBAM and inception, and CNN with CBAM and inception.

Published: September 2022

A wide range of precision applications requires video measuring systems that achieve a large number of successive measurements and deliver fast results. Their efficiency is essentially given by the technical performances of the used equipment and by the measurement technique on which they operate. In order to enhance the reliability of such a system, the paper presents a new method of measuring the distance with a single video camera intended to assess the distance at which the object of interest to the camera is located. The technique makes use of a least squares-based sharpness cost function and determines the distance between the camera and the object of interest by minimizing the least squares deviation of the current sharpness values from the sharpness values obtained by calibration. It involves the current sharpness calculation phase, the normalization phase, the phase of calculating the deviations of the current sharpness from the dependencies obtained by calibration and the phase of determining the minimum deviation index.

Published: September 2022

Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi), a non-native tree species, has been widely planted in the Qinling Mountains since the last century, but it does not meet the habitat needs of giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), mainly because of food, further causing habitat degradation and fragmentation. However, how soil microorganisms, considered as predictors of the soil environment, respond to Japanese larch remains poorly explored, especially compared with native forests. Here, we collected 40 soil samples from plantation, bamboo, and natural (excluding bamboo) forests in the Changqing Nature Reserve and Foping Nature Reserve in Qinling to compare soil bacterial community composition and diversity using high-throughput sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA genes. The soil chemical properties and bacterial communities differed noticeably under forest-type classification patterns. The soil of the Japanese larch planted forests underwent substantial degradation, with higher acidity, lower alpha diversity, and more significant enrichment in the oligotrophic bacteria Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia, in contrast to the other two primary forests with elevated soil nutrient levels. The application of PICRUSt2 indicated the down-regulation of amino acid-related metabolism in planted forests. Moreover, pH was the primary factor determining the whole bacterial community structures. To avoid the uncertainty of a single sampling region, we chose different sampling sites that could be considered as geographical factors, possibly due to environmental heterogeneity or dispersal limitations, which also explained the specific community patterns of microorganisms. Overall, this paper may help provide a scientific basis for future revegetation in giant panda habitats, highlighting the urgent need for ecological restoration and sustainable forestry management.
A Peptide HEPFYGNEGALR from Apostichopus japonicus Alleviates Acute Alcoholic Liver Injury by Enhancing Antioxidant Response in Male C57BL/6J Mice

Published: September 2022

Liver-related disease caused by alcohol is a frequent disorder of the hepatic tract. Heavy consumption of alcohol in a short period causes oxidative damage to the liver. Sea cucumber is abundant in nutrients and its various extracts have been studied for antioxidant properties. One peptide was isolated and identified from Apostichopus japonicus in our recent study. We investigated the benefits of the peptide in a model of acute ethanol-induced male C57BL/6J mice. Dietary intake of the peptide could attenuate hepatomegaly, hepatitis and the accumulation of lipid droplets, and increase antioxidant enzyme activities in mice with acute alcoholic liver injury. The results indicated that a 20 mg/kg peptide supplement could activate the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and block the nuclear translocation of NF-κB to alleviate oxidative stress and inflammation. In addition, the preventive effects of peptide supplementation may be related to autophagy. This study suggests that dietary supplementation with a sea cucumber-derived peptide is one of the potential candidates to alleviate acute alcoholic liver injury.

Published: September 2022

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are becoming important DNA nanocarriers for genetic engineering of industrial fungi. However, the biological effect of MNPs on industrial fungi remains unknown. In this study, we prepared three kinds of magnetic nanoparticles with different sizes (i.e., 10 nm, 20 nm, and 200 nm) to investigate their impact on the growth and sporulation of the important industrial fungus Aspergillus niger. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and Zeta potential analysis revealed that the three kinds of MNPs, including MNP10, MNP20 and MNP200, had uniform size distribution, regular Fe3O4 X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and similar Zeta potentials. Interestingly, although the three kinds of MNPs did not obviously inhibit growth of the fungus, the MNP20 at 500 mg/L strongly attenuated sporulation, leading to a remarkable decrease in spore numbers on culturing plates. Further investigation showed that MNP20 at the high concentration led to drastic chitin accumulation in the cell wall, indicating cell wall disruption of the MNP20-treated fungal cells. Moreover, the MNPs did not cause unusual iron dissolution and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, and the addition of ferrous ion, ferric ion or the reactive oxygen species scavenger N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) had no impact on the sporulation of the fungus, suggesting that both iron dissolution and ROS accumulation did not contribute to attenuated sporulation by MNP20. This study revealed the size-dependent effect of MNPs on fungal sporulation, which was associated with MNP-induced cell wall disruption.

The term “small journal” has been used for a journal published as a single journal or one of a few serials, mostly by an academic publisher. This case study showed the challenges that a journal must override to be indexed in Scopus and WoS, especially if Q1/Q2 are targeted. The number of submissions, and especially of the published papers, are not the most critical variables for an increase of journal citations. The most important is the further activity of researchers included in the paper’s authorship, their future publication rate and continuation of similar research, which implies the citations of previous works belonging to the same authors and/or research groups. The larger the number of papers per issue, the increased probability of such an event, but there is no linear correlation. Moreover, the editorial work, especially during the initial editorial screening of received submissions, makes the consequent reviewer’s work easier, faster, and of higher quality, which certainly increases the quality of publications and their further citation life. The cited half-life vs. cited half-life ratio in small journals would need to be less than one (here 0.25), making the published papers fast cited, with first citations coming early enough that they could fit in a three-year window, and be countable for the calculation of indexing measures like Citescore or the Impact Factor.
A Novel Method for AI-Assisted INS/GNSS Navigation System Based on CNN-GRU and CKF during GNSS Outage
Authors: Zhao Shuai , Zhou Yilan , Huang Tengchao
Published: September 2022

In the fields of positioning and navigation, the integrated inertial navigation system (INS)/global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are frequently employed. Currently, high-precision INS typically utilizes fiber optic gyroscopes (FOGs) and quartz flexural accelerometers (QFAs) rather than MEMS sensors. But when GNSS signals are not available, the errors of high-precision INS also disperse rapidly, similar to MEMS-INS when GNSS signals would be unavailable for a long time, leading to a serious degradation of the navigation accuracy. This paper presents a new AI-assisted method for the integrated high-precision INS/GNSS navigation system. The position increments during GNSS outage are predicted by the convolutional neural network-gated recurrent unit (CNN-GRU). In the process, the CNN is utilized to quickly extract the multi-dimensional sequence features, and GRU is used to model the time series. In addition, a new real-time training strategy is proposed for practical application scenarios, where the duration of the GNSS outage time and the motion state information of the vehicle are taken into account in the training strategy. The real road test results verify that the proposed algorithm has the advantages of high prediction accuracy and high training efficiency.

In solar cycles 23–24, solar activity noticeably decreased and, as a result, solar wind parameters decreased. Based on the measurements of the OMNI base for the period 1976–2019, the time profiles of the main solar wind parameters and magnetospheric indices for the main interplanetary drivers of magnetospheric disturbances (solar wind types CIR. Sheath, ejecta and MC) are studied using the double superposed epoch method. The main task of the research is to compare time profiles for the epoch of high solar activity at 21–22 SC and the epoch of low activity at 23–24 SC. The following results were obtained. (1) The analysis did not show a statistically significant change in driver durations during the epoch of minimum. (2) The time profiles of all parameters for all types of SW in the epoch of low activity have the same shape as in the epoch of high activity, but locate at lower values of the parameters. (3) In CIR events, the longitude angle of the solar wind flow has a characteristic S shape; but in the epoch of low activity, it varies in a larger range than in the previous epoch.
Current Insights Regarding the Role of Farm Animals in the Spread of Antimicrobial Resistance from a One Health Perspective
Authors: Rhouma Mohamed , Soufi Leila , Cenatus Schlasiva , Archambault Marie , Butaye Patrick
Published: September 2022

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a global threat to both human and animal health and has received increasing attention over the years from different stakeholders. Certain AMR bacteria circulate between humans, animals, and the environment, while AMR genes can be found in all ecosystems. The aim of the present review was to provide an overview of antimicrobial use in food-producing animals and to document the current status of the role of farm animals in the spread of AMR to humans. The available body of scientific evidence supported the notion that restricted use of antimicrobials in farm animals was effective in reducing AMR in livestock and, in some cases, in humans. However, most recent studies have reported that livestock have little contribution to the acquisition of AMR bacteria and/or AMR genes by humans. Overall, strategies applied on farms that target the reduction of all antimicrobials are recommended, as these are apparently associated with notable reduction in AMR (avoiding co-resistance between antimicrobials). The interconnection between human and animal health as well as the environment requires the acceleration of the implementation of the ‘One Health’ approach to effectively fight AMR while preserving the effectiveness of antimicrobials.

To evaluate the anticoccidial effect of the Hura crepitans seed, 21 cross-breed lambs, 23 ± 3 kg live weight (PV) and 70 ± 6 days old, were used. Animals were housed individually in raised wire-mesh pens, with individual water troughs and feeders. Lambs were randomly divided into three groups (n = 7) that received different doses of Hura crepitans seeds: 4 g/kg B.W. (group 1), 6 g/kg B.W. (group 2) and 0 g/kg B.W. (control group or group 0). The treatment was administered at the beginning of the experiment once orally and the study lasted 21 days. Stool samples were taken for quantitative analysis of oocysts using the McMaster technique and blood for haematological and biochemical analysis. Lambs that received the seeds showed a higher excretion of coccidia oocysts between days 5 and 7 after treatment (p < 0.05) due to the antiparasitic effect of these seeds, without affecting their productive performance (daily feed intake (DFI)- total weight gain (TWG), daily weight gain (DWG)). In addition, the daily feed consumption (DFC) and dry matter intake (DMI) were similar between the groups. The analysed enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT and FA) and creatinine showed reference values. Only the urea and BUN levels were slightly increased, but without statistical difference between the groups. Therefore, the Hura crepitans seed, at doses of 4 and 6 g/kg, favours the expulsion of coccidial oocysts, without affecting either the health or the productive behaviour of lambs.

Published: September 2022

Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is a form of renal replacement therapy that is used in modern intensive care units (ICUs) to help manage acute kidney injury (AKI), end stage kidney disease (ESKD), poisonings, and some electrolyte disorders. CRRT has transformed the care of patients in the ICU over the past several decades. In this setting, it is important to recognize CRRT-associated complications but also up-to-date management of these complications. Some of these complications are minor, but others may be more significant and even life-threatening. Some CRRT complications may be related to dialysis factors and others to specific patient factors. Our overarching goal in this article is to review and discuss the most significant CRRT-related complications at the different stage of management of CRRT. With the advent of newer solutions, there have been newer complications as well.
O ensino de matemática para surdos

Published: September 2022

Este artigo objetiva refletir sobre como ocorre a aprendizagem da Matemática por alunos surdos, principalmente nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental.  O aluno surdo deveria dominar uma língua diferente da do ouvinte, a Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras), porém, geralmente, quando a criança tem pais ouvintes, há uma dificuldade de aceitação de seus limites, por isso, matriculam seus filhos em escolas regulares. A demora para a criança surda ter acesso à Libras faz com o seu desenvolvimento escolar e cognitivo seja prejudicado, já que a linguagem é essencial para a mediação do conhecimento. Ainda há casos de surdos que não adquirem a língua de sinais em momento nenhum, sendo apenas oralizados. Como ponto de partida, é importante considerar sempre a cultura do aluno surdo e suas especificidades linguísticas. No entanto, a legislação vigente aponta para a expansão do ensino bilíngue, que até então é considerado o melhor método de aprendizagem dos surdos, pois considera a Libras como primeira língua e a Língua Portuguesa como segunda língua. O ensino de Matemática, tanto para alunos ouvintes quanto para alunos surdos, deve ocorrer conforme os pressupostos do Currículo para a Rede Pública de Ensino de Cascavel e da Proposta Pedagógica Curricular da Rede Pública Municipal - Região da Associação dos Municípios do Oeste do Paraná (AMOP), documentos que se fundamentem na Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica e consideram, sobretudo, a resolução de problemas como ponto central para a apreensão dos conceitos matemáticos. No caso de alunos surdos, é imprescindível a utilização de material concreto em associação com a Libras, cujo encaminhamento tem sido utilizado por professores bilíngues que ensinam seus alunos surdos.

Marking a document using an expert-fuzzy approach to assessing the confidentiality of its con-stituent information
Authors:   Baku State University, Suleymanova A.N.
Published: September 2022

The intensive development of information technologies predetermined the increased interest of society in the problems of information and information security and led to a sharp increase in the industry-wide scientific activity in this area. Numerous scientific works in the subject area have become the basis for the development of theoretical foundations for the regulation of pub-lic relations in the information sphere. At the same time, the listed works are of an exclusively civil law nature. The issues of regulating relations regarding commercial secrets are either not considered at all or are considered fragmentarily. A comprehensive study on the multi-criteria assessment of the levels of information confidentiality to be included in the document has not previously been undertaken. The article discusses an approach to assessing the level of infor-mation confidentiality to be included in a future document. This approach is based on the appli-cation of expert judgments regarding the degree of influence of confidentiality features on the final level of confidentiality. The fuzzy inference mechanism, which constitutes the analytical essence of the approach, solves the task, relying on a direct cause-effect relation between the signs of the information confidentiality and the levels of the confidentiality of the documents. Earlier, because of the application of the fuzzy inference system, it was possible to form a rea-sonable scale of gradation of the levels of the confidentiality of the documents and it is quite easy to obtain final estimates of the levels of the information confidentiality to be included in a future document. In the current article, a similar problem is solved, but with the use of another method of fuzzification of confidentiality features as qualitative assessment criteria.
Algorithmization of processes in recommendation systems
Authors:   Institute of Telecommunications and Global Information Space of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kuprin O.M.
Published: September 2022

The article examines the features of algorithmization of processes in recommendation systems for personnel training and decision support. Such systems are a subclass of information filtering systems that allow building a certain rating based on requests or preferences. The development of recommendation systems is aimed precisely at finding the best solution within a limited pe-riod of time. In-depth analysis of complex problems is necessary to develop several alternatives that do differ significantly, including the possibility of inactivity. This is why each alternative should be evaluated. The paper reveals the features of recommendation systems in various fields of application. The conducted research allows us to conclude that there are some signifi-cant differences in the nature of providing recommendations to the end user when using dis-tance learning or decision support systems. Recommendations in such systems are shifted from the user's preferences directly to the person and the problem. When structuring the processes of the recommendation system to support decision-making, there is made a focus on the scientific method of substantiating questions. Therefore, the construction of algorithms for such systems is complicated from the first stage – observation, where obstacles or opportunities are identi-fied. Such a problem can be solved through systems of equations that describe processes in an organization with appropriate constraints. Presented in the article algorithm for evaluating and selecting alternatives is one of the options for building a system of recommendations if it is necessary to justify a management decision to expand activities of the company. It is shown that although they lie in the same plane, the solution to remove the problem and the search for an optimal solution are not equivalent. In addition, finding the best solution requires a larger data-base of information to create a recommendation system.
The newest approach to the use of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index for the aerospace images classification with incomplete and inaccurate data
Authors:   Science Center for Aerospace Research of the Earth IGN NAS of Ukraine, Alpert S.I. ,   National Aviation University
Published: September 2022

Solution of different scientific, ecological and agricultural tasks with the use of aerospace im-ages comprises a procedure of image classification. Classification is one of the most important procedures. Nowadays many supervised and unsupervised classification methods are applied in remote sensing. The most accurate results are obtained through the use of supervised classifica-tion methods. In this paper, there are proposed some new approaches to image classification which are based on supervised classification methods and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Different values of NDVI are noted to correspond to different classes of objects, such as soil, water, roads, sand, green vegetation, oil spills. Application of Vegetation Index is the first step of classification. Using NDVI, it is possible to select special necessary classes. Af-ter the application of NDVI, such classification methods as the parallelepiped method, Demp-ster’s rule, and Inagaki’s combination rule can be used. The current work describes the main advantages of these classification methods. It has been noted that the use of the parallelepiped method allows easy and quick processing of data. The paper also shows that Dempster’s combi-nation rule and Inagaki’s combination rule can deal with inaccurate and incomplete data from different spectral bands. Moreover, these methods can process conflicting information. Demp-ster-Shafer theory has the advantage of high accuracy and simple calculations. In the paper, there is also considered a numerical example where NDVI and Inagaki’s combination rule has been used for detection and mapping of oil spills. Application of Vegetation Index and such su-pervised classification rules as the parallelepiped method, Dempster’s rule, Inagaki’s combina-tion rule can be applied in ecological monitoring, mapping of petroleum spills, and solving ag-ricultural tasks.

Housing and communal services in Kyiv have more than 10,000 multi-storey houses, and in Ky-iv region, there are more than 5,000. Reducing energy consumption for housing, heat and water supply, and lighting services should be considered as reducing energy costs. The trouble-free operation of the equipment is of the utmost importance. Its resource on many utilities has a minimum margin of safety. Centralized analysis of the equipment control, accounting of motor resources and, accordingly, timely preventive work allow extending the service life of many components of engineering systems in the utility sector, transport, and industry. These problems are solved by distributed systems of automated control of engineering equipment, including control systems of the hot water supply scheme for modern new buildings. In modern new buildings, there is used a scheme of hot water supply (HWS) with two circulating pumps and the HWS regulator. The control cabinet, developed in the IMMSP of the NAS of Ukraine, is made on the basis of the MRTP-7 controller with the corresponding software consisting of gen-eral and special purpose programs. The article considers the principles of building a control sys-tem for hot water supply, considers the software functions of the system, presents a mathemati-cal model of the HWS system, describes a laboratory test site for testing algorithms for HWP control and modeling the HWS control process. The scientific and technical solutions provided in the article can be used in the development of automated control systems for engineering equipment in the utility sector.

Influence of Work Environment and Work Characteristics on Turnover Intention System with Mediation Role of Work Engagement
Authors: Indriyani Dita , Meria Lista
Published: September 2022

The millennial generation currently dominates human resources in the company. Millennial generation employees have many advantages, but millennials are considered less committed to their work, so they are synonymous with high turnover intentions. The research was conducted to know the effect of the work environment and job characteristics on the turnover intention with the mediating role of work engagement in millennial generation employees, work environment, and job characteristics as independent variables. Turnover intention is the dependent variable, and work engagement is a mediating variable. This study uses a survey method by distributing questionnaires where the respondents used 204 employees in the millennial generation with domiciles in the West Jakarta area. Then, the data was processed using the SEM-PLS method. The results showed that the work environment hurt turnover intention. Job characteristics do not affect turnover intention.

Doğal kaynaklar zaman geçtikçe azalırken insanoğlunun da teknolojinin gelişimiyle ihtiyaç duyduğu doğal kaynakları tüketimi gittikçe artmaktadır. Bu ters durumun yaşadığımız çevrenin aleyhinde olması maalesef insanoğlunun elini kolunu bağlarken yapabileceğimiz bazı şeylerin varlığı yüreğimizi serinletmektedir. Çevrenin korunması sürecinde kuşkusuz doğal kaynakların daha az tüketimine yönelik faaliyetler ve politikalar üretmek gerekirken toplum bireylerinin de yapabileceği birçok şey bulunmaktadır. Bunlardan biri de geleceğimizin teminatı çocuklarımızın çevre farkındalığını ve bilincini artırarak geleceğe bazı mesajlar göndermek olacaktır. Bu amaçla eğitim süreçlerinde özellikle ilk ve ortaöğretim öğrencilerinin çevre konusunda bilinçlendirmeye yönelik birçok araştırma ve çalışmalar yapılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada bu amaca yönelik olarak ilköğretim öğrencilerinin çevre duyarlığı, farkındalığı veya bilinci oluşturmaya yönelik yapılan çalışmaların ne kadar başarılı olduğunu görmek için öğrenciler üzerinde uygulanan çevre farkındalığı ve bilinci ölçütleriyle yapılan anket sonuçlarını değerlendiren araştırmalar değerlendirilmiştir.

The increase in population and the number of motorized vehicles is a factor causing the increase in traffic accidents. In the city of Pekanbaru there is an increase in the number of residents by 2.3% each year and an increase in the number of motorized vehicles by 6.8%. Traffic accidents in Pekanbaru were recorded as many as 576 incidents in the 2018-2020 period with the death toll increasing every year, added up to 38, 40, and 53 people. For this reason, this study aims to identify accident-prone locations, analyze accident characteristics, and develop strategies for handling accident-prone locations in the city of Pekanbaru. Identification of accident-prone locations is carried out using the frequency, AEK, and UCL methods. Analysis of accident characteristics is carried out using the 5W+1H approach. The results of the study indicate that the accident-prone location is the Jl. Siak II, Sp. Palas-City Boundary, and Jl. Yos Sudarso. Analysis of accident characteristics shows that the dominant type of accident that occurs is due to lack of anticipation with the type of front-to-front collision, involving a motorcycle, and occurring during the day. This study recommends 3 recommendations, namely: Traffic Engineering, Education, and Law Enforcement.
Migración, desarrollo y despolitización en el Pacto Mundial para la Migración Segura, Ordenada y Regular
Authors:   University of Sorbonne Paris Nord, Pécoud Antoine ,   Institut des Migrations
Published: September 2022

The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) was adopted in 2018 under the auspices of the United Nations. In a context in which the global governance of international migration remains weak, and in which states regularly confront migration/refugee crises, the GCM provides an internationally agreed-upon assessment of the political issues raised by international migration and identifies non-binding policy recommendations regarding how governments should address them. This article analyses the content of the GCM in light of the migration-related discussions at the international level since the 1990s. It critically examines its core arguments and argues that, because of the diverging worldviews and interests among governments and other stakeholders, the GCM is marked by major internal contradictions. This results into a depoliticized document and in a political language that hides the dilemmas raised by migration politics. There is therefore little consensus among states regarding the nature of migration and the political responses to govern the transnational mobility of people.
Business practices in South Africa during Covid 19 that impact consumers' economic means
Authors: Best Laura , Struwig Miemie
Published: September 2022

Objective – COVID-19 brought about devastating economic consequences across the globe. The outbreak and spread of this disease, coupled with supply-side constraints, led to sudden increases in prices by some businesses that managed to access products.
Methodology/Technique - This paper outlines a qualitative analysis of consumer protection cases filed between April 2020 and March 2021 at the National Consumer Tribunal of South Africa. Consumer protection agencies play a central role in ensuring consumers' welfare, which is more accentuated in times of the Covid 19 pandemic and its aftermath.
Findings – Results of the analysis of the contents of the cases show that South African consumer protection agencies acted with agility in line with their regulatory responsibilities. The cases examined in the study indicated that due to the relatively few cases able to be adjudicated, the National Consumer Tribunal had limited opportunity to contribute to the deeper consideration of the definitional development of the preventative intentions of the law in this regard. However, the Tribunal applied its mind to the definition of unfair pricing to respect consumers' rights in this regard.
Novelty - The work of the Tribunal in interpreting necessary consumer rights to fair, reasonable, and just pricing is thus a lasting contribution to ensuring the realisation of these rights. In cases where businesses that were found to have not complied with the Regulations and were found to have engaged in prohibitive conduct and duly fined, it sends a strong message to businesses that the violation of consumer rights will not be tolerated, even in complex circumstances such as during the Covid 19 pandemic.

The Influence of Transformational Leadership by the Principal on Teachers' Self-Efficacy in a Private Preschool
Authors: Fairos Siti , Mydin Al-Amin
Published: September 2022

Objective - This research aimed to identify the Influence of Principal Transformational Leadership among preschool principals on the teacher’s self-efficacy. Next, this study examines the idealized influence of the individualistic consideration of intellectual stimulation and inspirational motivation of the principal's transformational leadership dimension on teacher self-efficacy. This paper analyzes the factor influencing principal leadership on preschool teachers' self-efficacy.
Methodology/Technique - This research also involved a cross-sectional quantitative survey research design. 150 private preschool teachers from Penang were included as a sample in this study. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the data in this study.
Findings – Results indicate that all the dimensions of transformational leadership positively influence a teacher’s self-efficacy. The idealized influence dimension, individualistic consideration, intellectual stimulation, and inspirational motivation positively influence teachers' self-efficacy. In addition, this study is significant because it will inform management and leadership in early childhood education, particularly in private preschools, and provide them with references. As a result, there is a connection between the leadership style used by principals in private preschools and the teachers' self-efficacy.
Novelty - The study identifies the influence of teachers’ efficiency in the early childhood context.
