Academic accreditation is one of the most important priorities for higher education institutions. Therefore, universities seek to intensify efforts for funding from external parties to ensure the quality of their institutions and programmes. This study aimed to determine the quality of student services and activities in Prince Sattam University’s accredited and unaccredited programmes from the students’ perspective. It also looks at how different the answers of the study sample members are regarding the role of academic accreditation in improving the quality of student services and activities based on the study variable for accredited and unaccredited academic programmes. The descriptive survey method and a questionnaire tool were used on a study sample of 804 students from various disciplines in colleges based on the status of accreditation of their programmes. The results showed that students are satisfied with the quality of student services and activities in academic programmes. Moreover, there are differences in the averages of students’ responses based on the programme’s status (accredited/unaccredited), favouring accredited programmes. This study recommends that academic accreditation be used to improve the quality assurance of student services and activities in academic programmes to increase student satisfaction, support the continuity of their education, and improve their learning outcomes.

The Relationship between Teacher’s Self-Efficacy and Creative Teaching of Primary Mathematics Teachers
Authors: Hayati Pazin Fadzil Aini , Mistima Maat Siti , Sofwan Mahmud Muhammad
Published: September 2023

Teachers' perceptions of their abilities to create and implement cutting-edge teaching tactics have a significant impact on students' success, particularly in mathematics. Additionally, educators who are confident in their own ability to educate help create a learning atmosphere. In light of this information, it is important to consider in mathematics education the importance of understanding the opinions of mathematics teachers regarding their level of self-efficacy and its relationship to creative teaching. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between teachers’ self-efficacy and creative teaching of primary mathematics teachers. The questionnaire, which included 28 items and required responses on a 5-point Likert scale, was given to 210 mathematics teachers at random. The findings indicate that there is a significant relationship between teacher self-efficacy and creative teaching. The results of Pearson correlation coefficient analysis show that instructional strategies are the largest predictor of teacher’s self-efficacy (r (210) = 0.532, p < 0.05), followed by student engagement (r (210) = 0.441, p < 0.01), and class management (r (210) = 0.409, p < 0.05). Therefore, creative teaching may reliably predict teachers’ self-efficacy by 29.0% (R=0.543), according to the results of the linear regression analysis. Overall, this paper provides valuable insight into the critical role of perceptions of mathematics teachers' self-efficacy in shaping creative teaching approaches to mathematics education.

Understanding the Depiction of Exile and Alienation in “In a Free State” by VS Naipaul
Authors: - Dr. Seerat Munir
Published: September 2023

Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul is one of the most well-known writers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Even his detractors have praised his research on history, culture, civilization, and ethnicity, which takes a journalistic approach to uncovering the past. He has been successful not just as a writer, but also as a tirade against third world countries—Trinidad, where he was born, and India, where his family came from—both of which he has often characterized as half-baked civilizations, and which have made him the center of controversy. In 1971, Nobel Laureate V.S. Naipaul was awarded the Booker Award for story for the novel in a free state, which is more of a collection of short story pieces based on the tales of the uprooted who fight to find their place in different kinds of free cultures. After all, exile and estrangement aren't something you choose: you're either born into it or it happens to you. But there are lessons to be learnt if exile and alienation refuse to sit on the sidelines nursing a wound: he or she must develop a conscientious (not indulgent or sulky) subjectivity.
This article contributes to a better understanding of VS Naipaul's depiction of exile and alienation in In a Free State.

Authors: - Bethshida Kharbuli , - Sammaia Papiah , - Kyntiewnam Sumer
Published: September 2023

Leucorrhea or vaginal discharge is the commonest reproductive tract infection in adult age women. Vaginal discharge is normal when it is fluid, white, clear watery and they change in amount depending on the time of menstrual cycle. Leucorrhea becomes abnormal when it changes in colour, consistency, odour along with itching and burning pain in the vaginal area. In such cases it can be suggestive of any underlying health condition like a vaginal infection. The common cause may be due to unhygienic conditions, infections in the genital tract and impaired immune function. Its prevalence is high but women are embarrassed about the problem and refuse to seek medical help. For the treatment of leucorrhea its important to know the causation. Homoeopathy being a holistic system of medicine has a wide scope in treating leucorrhea. There are many homoeopathic medicines in materia medica which are well proved and which can be prescribed for leucorrhea. Homoeopathy not only cures the infection but also prevents its recurrence. While alleviating the suffering of the patient it also improves the quality of life in patients suffering from abnormal vaginal discharge.

Published: September 2023

The importance of telecommunication services is increasingly growing as an integral part of the infrastructural base for socio-economic development of an economy. In order to efficiently provide communication services with improved quality at the lowest price, it demanded a shift of market structure from a government monopoly to a more competitive structure. We are analyzing the changes in the market structure and competition of telecom service industry in India. The major data source of this study is Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) Prowess firm level data, from which the telecommunication service data of firms are taken. The major methodology which followed to measure competition in a market, the concentration ratios is computed, due to their ability to capture structural features of the market. It is found that almost all the concentration indices exhibit the same trend in the concentration level of the market. Concentration level is decreasing year by year and thus, competition is increasing. Even though there are many players in the market, the Indian telecom industry is controlled by a few. Through accuracy measures of index, it is found that the GRS index is the ideal index which indicates a moderate level of competition compared to other indices. As far as telecom industry is concerned, moderate level of competition exists with the oligopoly market structure
Legal Implications of Liberalisation and Globalisation of Insurance Sector
Authors: - Priyam Sharma
Published: September 2023

The liberalization and globalization of the insurance sector have had significant legal implications. The liberalization and globalization of the insurance sector have been driven by the increasing interconnectedness of economies and the desire to promote competition and efficiency in the market. This process involves opening up domestic insurance markets to foreign companies and removing barriers to entry for new players. As a result, there has been a surge in cross-border investments, mergers, and acquisitions, leading to the expansion of multinational insurance companies. From a legal perspective, the liberalization and globalization of the insurance sector have necessitated changes in regulatory frameworks and the harmonization of laws across jurisdictions. Governments have had to revise their domestic insurance laws to accommodate the entry of foreign insurers and ensure a level playing field for all participants. This includes revisiting licensing requirements, solvency regulations, consumer protection laws, and dispute resolution mechanisms. The liberalization and globalization of the insurance sector have had far-reaching legal implications. These include the need for regulatory reform, international cooperation, and harmonization of laws.

Authors:   Es-sebbani Chaimae, Abide Zakaria, El haddad Siham, Allali Nazik and Chat Latifa
Published: September 2023

Ganglioglioma (GG) is a benign and rare tumor of the central nervous system, typically located supratentorially in the temporal lobe. Subtentorial localization, particularly in the cerebellum, is uncommon.It represents 0.4% to 7.6% of all central nervous system tumors, 1.3% of brain tumors, and only 1% of intramedullary tumors. Clinically, supratentorial GG causes epilepsy, while subtentorial GG leads to focal neurological deficits due to local mass effect and signs of increased intracranial pressure. A benign brain tumor, called a ganglioglioma (GG), can sometimes be found in the cerebrum. We describe an unusual pediatric two cases of supra and subtentorially GG with a spinal cord localisation in this article. Our patient suffered from headache and epilepsy. Magnetic resonance imaging of the skull revealed a giant cyst with a mural nodule in the right cerebellar hemisphere that flattened the fourth ventricle. Pilocytic astrocytoma was the provisional diagnosis on the basis of clinical and imaging details. After biopsy and immunohistochemistry of the extramedullary intra dural process revealed the presence of a GG. Although GG is an uncommon tumor, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of a cerebellar mass with cystic and solid components in children.

Evaluación de la concordancia odontométrica a través del error entre observadores e instrumentales
Authors: Serna Alejandro , Luna Leandro Hernán
Published: September 2023

La evaluación del error de medición en estudios odontométricos es importante debido a la necesidad de que los resultados generados sean comparables. Entre las diversas fuentes capaces de introducir error, aquella generada por los diferentes instrumentos empleados puede ser muy relevante. El objetivo del trabajo es evaluar el grado de concordancia entre las medidas obtenidas por dos observadores con dos calibres odontométricos diferentes. Para ello, se relevaron los diámetros bucolinguales y mesiodistales de coronas y cuellos de dientes de 26 individuos y se aplicaron estadísticos uni y multivariados. Los resultados indican que la forma de medición de los calibres difiere, ya que los puntos en los que se posicionan no son generalmente los mismos. La importancia de este estudio radica en la posibilidad de plantear análisis odontométricos a gran escala, a través de la integración de información generada por diferentes investigadores con distintos instrumentales. Se destaca la necesidad de tener cautela al considerar conjuntos de datos obtenidos con calibres que requieren de procedimientos diferentes de relevamiento. En estos casos, las interpretaciones solo deben realizarse en términos comparativos, sin incorporar los datos obtenidos en un mismo análisis.

Civil Grounds for Donation
Authors:   HSE University, Kiktenko Konstantin G. , Kirilina Alena A. ,   HSE University
Published: September 2023

The authors reveal in the article the nature, the main idea of donor legal relations, legal relations in the sphere of transplantation of donor organs and tissues, pointing out the problems that have objectively developed in our legal order. In fact, transactions in the sphere of donation and transplantation exist, but there is no proper legal regulation of the emerging legal relations. The authors adhere to the position that a person has the right to dispose of his body provided that such disposal does not entail the donor’s death or disability, and has the right to a commensurate compensation, acting not as a payment, but as a compensation for the harm to health, which was or could be a consequence of entering into donor legal relations. The necessity of terminological unity of normative-legal regulation of these relations is shown. The main purpose of the work is to reveal the private legal nature of donation, donor legal relations and legal relations in the field of transplantation. An attempt is made to describe the system of transactions in donation, proper ways of defence, problems of correlation of tort and contractual claims in relation to donation are discussed. Foreign experience is touched upon, showing the uncertain steps of different legal orders towards a freer regulation of this sphere of social relations. Political-economic and moral reasoning on the necessity of transferring donation relations from the sphere of public law to private law, as well as from state regulation to free market is given. Attention is emphasised on a number of contradictions that require resolution in doctrine, legislation and judicial practice.

Authors:   State University of Management, Nuriev Bulat D.
Published: September 2023

The article analyses the institution of commercial agents in the Republic of Turkey, which has not only rich legal traditions going centuries back to the existence of the Ottoman Empire, but is also very popular at the present time. The author gives a classification of all types of commercial intermediaries represented in the national legislation, and highlights the key features of each of them. The paper states that the institution of agents in Turkish commercial law does not have a clear and unambiguous regulation, which introduces some confusion in understanding the essence of a particular type of commercial intermediary. The author states that the regulation of the institution of commercial agents by various legal sources also does not contribute to an unambiguous interpretation of legal norms. At the same time in the field of commerce in this country, in some cases, the norms of customary law apply. It is concluded that the variety of legal forms of intermediary activity largely contributes to the development of business in the country and employment growth. The article presents various positions of Turkish researchers on the most debated issues of the activities of commercial intermediaries. In addition to excerpts from the main sources of Turkish commercial law, materials of judicial practice and scientific research by Turkish and Russian specialists are presented. Taking into account the deepening cooperation between Russia and Turkey, particularly in the field of commerce, separate comments on the rules of law governing the activities of intermediaries are given, taking into account the interests of Russian business.

Authors:   Ural State Law University named after V.F. Yakovlev, Kiel Julia E. , Alaskarova Lyaman Oktay kizi ,   Ural State Law University named after V.F. Yakovlev
Published: September 2023

The article analyses the main approaches formed in world science regarding the importance of building codes and requirements for reducing the risks and consequences of earthquakes. The specificity of earthquakes, like any natural disaster, lies in the impossibility of preventing it, and for this reason the emphasis in solving the problems of earthquakes should be placed on preventing negative consequences. This can be achieved by building an effective regulatory framework and the practice of its implementation. Moreover, the complexity and interdisciplinary character of the problem requires a balanced interaction between the legislator, law enforcer and specialists in the field of engineering and seismology. The authors analyse the experience of the catastrophic earthquake in Turkey and Syria in 2023, identifying the shortcomings of the Turkish regulatory framework, which somehow caused the destruction of buildings as if they were built without proper seismic stability.

Geochemical and Geospatial Distribution of Organic Contaminants in the Flood Plain of Ekpetiama, Niger Delta Region of Nigeria
Authors: Davidson Egirani  , Miebi M Alaowei
Published: September 2023

This study investigated the geochemical and geospatial distribution of organic contaminants in the floodplain water and sediments of Ekpetiama in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria. This study is necessary because there are limited data on the level of organic contamination in this section of the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria. The extinction of planktons in Ekpetiama became a source of concern to the residents. This concern is because this section of the coastal plain provides fisher folks with livelihood. So, there was a need to track the source of contamination in this part of the Niger Delta region. Previous studies have suggested a high level of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon and Total Hydrocarbon Content as possible sources of reduced dissolved oxygen in similar deltaic terrain. A total of 10 water and 10 sediment samples were collected and analyzed in triplicate at an interval of 100 m in the flood plain. A particle size analyzer was used to perform particle size analyses of air-dried sediments. The American Public Health Association method (APHA) was used to do the chemical analysis of the water samples. Here, a liquid-liquid extraction procedure was performed on sediment samples using 30 mL of Dichloromethane (DCM) as the extracting agent. The results were subjected to statistical validation. The mean grain size ranged from 2.37-4.83, kurtosis (1.94-0.49), and skewness (-0.8-0.71). The contaminant indicators (pH, biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen and Total Organic Carbon) point to the presence of organic contamination of the flood plain. The results indicated a total petroleum hydrocarbon range of 0.47-0.87 ppm in water and 0.69-0.96 ppm in sediments and a total hydrocarbon content range of 1.10-2.80 ppm in water and 2.56-3.90 ppm in sediment# samples. The results were above the permitted limits of the World Health Organisation. The source of ecological damage is the abnormal concentrations of organic contaminants in the flood plain. These results significantly caused ecosystem damage and human health effects in the food chain. This study provides information to the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency for a cleanup process.

Urban green space offers physical and sensory satisfaction, hence the importance of realizing that a simple wooded area, even randomly scattered, is not enough to provide an ideal urban setting. Developing and designing urban nature with designers and citizens is essential to being beneficial, relevant, and adapted to users’ needs. The state of urban green spaces in Algeria, particularly public parks, is currently a subject of debate. These areas have been neglected and significantly altered throughout the various phases of urbanization, resulting in their undervaluation and underappreciation. Public spaces are given less priority and are thus less developed than residential areas, leading to a need for more research, planning, and urban development initiatives focused on them. Rapid urbanization and the emphasis on housing needs have resulted in minimal production of public spaces, leading to a functional approach that needs to be more aware of their intended uses. This article sheds light on our case study, the public garden of Ain Bouaroua in Setif, Algeria. The research methodology combines historical and typo-morphological approaches with those of the users. In order to understand and identify the activities and behaviors of the users, questionnaires are distributed to various actors in the green spaces. The collection and processing of this information and data reveals the current uses and spatial practices while focusing on the evaluation of these green spaces. The results reveal that users’ motivations, proximity, and safety, and that the lack of facilities, the low density of vegetation, and the predominance of men are weak points. The proximity of educational facilities attracts schoolchildren. This work can contribute to developing the green network across the whole territory of Setif.
A Guinea Fowl Eggshells Derived Calcium Oxide Catalyst for Transesterification of Coconut Oil

Published: September 2023

The exponential rise in world population, the depletion of fossil fuels resources, and the severe environmental consequence of petroleum-based fuels have initiated an enormous search for renewable fuel as a substitute for petroleum fuel. In line with that, this study reports the use of a calcium oxide catalyst derived from waste guinea fowl eggshells in the transesterification of coconut oil for biodiesel production. The calcium oxide catalyst was prepared through the calcination of the eggshell at 950 oC for three hours and then characterized by Fourier Transform Infra-Red FTIR and basic back titration methods. The activity of the catalyst was evaluated in the transesterification of coconut oil with methanol by varying the reaction conditions to optimize the biodiesel conversion. The catalyst’s Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) analysis revealed a peak equivalent to the Ca-O bond at 665 cm-1, indicating eggshell conversion into CaO. This is justified by the appearance of a Ca(OH)2 peak around 3640 cm−1due to surface water attached to Ca2+. While to the basic back titration yielded a value of 2.933 mmol/g, indicating a high number of basic sites. Consequently, the activity test for the catalyst signified that one hour reaction time, 1:18 oil to methanol molar ratio, 1% catalyst loading, and 60 oC reaction temperature gave the best yield, with a conversion of 85.81%.

Trioza tabebuiae Burckhardt & Santana, 2001 is an important pest of some ornamental plants species of the family Bignonaceae in Brazil. This psyllid causes serious damages in leaves of Handroanthus Mattos, 1970 tress curving its margins which reduce the photosynthetic area when high infestations. In Argentina, Handroanthus heptaphyllus (Vell.) Mattos, 1970 is a relevant tree for its wood and for ornamental use. Here, we report for the first time the presence of the psyllid T. tabebuiae associated with the bignonaceous tree H. heptaphyllus in Argentina. Moreover, the damage produced by T. tabebuiae in leaves of the Pink Trumpet trees was observed.

Naudotas retrospektyvusis vienos grupės kohortinis tyrimo metodas. Retrospektyviai surinkti ir analizuoti duomenys iš medicininės dokumentacijos: lytis, amžius, TE (TE + AT) data, POTK data, apskaičiuojant laikotarpį po TE, POTK stabdymo būdas, POTK pasikartojimų dažnis, hemoglobino kiekis, taikytas gydymas, hospitalizacijos trukmė, gretutinės ligos. Rezultatai. Iš 2 683 pacientų imties, kuriems Kauno klinikų Ausų, nosies ir gerklės klinikoje atlikta TE su (be) AT, išanalizuotos 236 pacientų, kurie buvo gydyti stacionare dėl POTK, ligos istorijos. Didesnę tiriamųjų dalį sudarė moterys (57,2 proc.), vyrų buvo mažiau (42,8 proc). Patikimai vyravo suaugę asmenys. Tiriamųjų amžius vidurkis – 19,2 metų (SN = 11,1). POTK dažnis 2017–2021 m. buvo 9,5 proc. Atmetus pacientus, kuriems hospitalizavimo metu kraujavimas sustojo savaime ir daugiau nesikartojo, dažnis siekė 5,6 proc. Išvados. Dažniausiai dėl POTK hospitalizuojami suaugę asmenys. POTK dažnis priklauso nuo diagnostikos kriterijų. Remiantis skirtingais diagnostiniais kriterijais, POTK dažnis, vertinant tą pačią pacientų imtį, gali varijuoti, todėl svarbu susitarti dėl vienodų POTK vertinimo kriterijų.
