Impact of Cost Reduction Strategies on Purchasing and Procurement in Mozambique
Authors: Cossa Abelina
Published: May 2023

Purpose: The study sought to analyze the impact of cost reduction strategies on purchasing and procurement in Mozambique.

Methodology: The research was conducted entirely on computers. Secondary data, or data that doesn't require actual observation in the field, are the focus of desk research. Because it requires little more than an executive's time, telephone rates, and directories, desk research is generally seen as a low-cost strategy in comparison to field research. As a result, the research used data that had already been collected and reported. This secondary data was readily available via the internet's digital library and scholarly articles.

Findings: The results show that cost reduction strategies are effective ways of reducing costs associated with purchasing and procurement. Cost reduction strategies enables companies to reduce costs associated with materials, services, and labor, as well as reduce overhead costs. Additionally, strategic partnerships and the use of technology also help companies reduce costs and optimize their purchasing and procurement process. Overall, cost reduction strategies can be an effective way of reducing costs and improving efficiency.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Future research in the field of purchasing and procurement may be grounded in the competitive advantage theory and the supply chain theory. Policymakers, researchers and academics from all across the world will all stand to gain from this study's findings. Executives in charge of national purchasing and procurement initiatives will also use the study's findings to boost the cost reduction strategies performance across the board. The research suggests that the purchasing and procurement sector should implement cost reduction policies to boost the effectiveness of their primary operations and activities.

Purpose: The study sought to analyze the role of negotiation in purchasing and procurement in Malaysia 

Methodology: The research was conducted entirely on computers. Secondary data, or data that doesn't require actual observation in the field, are the focus of desk research. Because it requires little more than an executive's time, telephone rates, and directories, desk research is generally seen as a low-cost strategy in comparison to field research. As a result, the research used data that had already been collected and reported. This secondary data was readily available via the internet's digital library and scholarly articles.

Findings: The results show that negotiation plays an important role in the purchasing and procurement process in Malaysia. Negotiation allows buyers and sellers to come to an agreement that is mutually beneficial and ensures that the transaction is successful. Negotiation allows buyers and sellers to come to an agreement on delivery times and other factors involved in the transaction. Ultimately, negotiation is an important part of the purchasing and procurement process in Malaysia, and it can help to create mutually beneficial agreements.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Future research in the field of purchasing and procurement may be grounded in the transaction cost theory and the distributive bargaining theory. Policymakers, researchers, and academics from all across the world will all stand to gain from this study's findings. Executives in charge of national purchasing and procurement initiatives will also use the study's findings to boost negotiations performance across the board. The research suggests that the purchasing and procurement sector should implement negotiation policies to boost the effectiveness of their primary operations and activities.
An Investigation of Cutting Down of Trees as Human Rights Abuse in the Global World
Authors: Rusetuka Muganzi
Published: May 2023

Purpose: To investigate the current cutting down of trees as a human rights abuse in the global world.

Methodology: The study employed a documentary review secondary data collection method.  Documentary review is a data collection technique in which data is gathered from reports, journals, Magazines, Newspapers, and articles that have data linked to the research being undertaken (Creswell, 2014). A documentary review was employed to investigate the current cutting down of trees as a human rights abuse in the global world by examining the causes, impacts, and how it’s an abuse of human rights.

Findings: It was found out that cutting down trees in the forest is deforestation. The direct causes are caused by people who clear land for crops, and animal grazing and obtain wood for fuel, manufacturing, and construction. The study found that deforestation affects many species that are so specialized to microhabitats within the forest that they can only be found in small areas. Their specialization makes them vulnerable to extinction. In addition to the species lost when an area is totally deforested, the plants and animals in the fragments of forest that remain also become increasingly vulnerable, sometimes even committed, to extinction. The edges of the fragments dry out and are buffeted by hot winds; mature rainforest trees often die standing at the margins. Cascading changes in the types of trees, plants, and insects that can survive in the fragments rapidly reduce biodiversity in the forest that remains. The study further found that deforestation is a human rights abuse because it denies people the right to life. Trees reduce the amount of stormwater runoff, which reduces erosion and pollution in our waterways and may reduce the effects of flooding but when they are cut they cause flooding which erodes people’s houses and cause losing lives which is a human rights abuse against the declaration of human rights 1948 (Everyone born in this world has human rights that must be protected by the law).

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: the governments of the global world should work as the team to fight this devise by ending deforestation and thwarting pandemics to address six of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals: the guarantee of healthy lives, zero hunger, gender equality, responsible consumption and production, sustainably managed land, and climate action (intact tropical forests absorb carbon dioxide, whereas burning them sends more CO2 into the atmosphere).

In Graphics design production, there are established modes of practices which have been established over the years, be it a simple hand stenciled banner, to the creation of crests on fabrics by screen printing or by the new, more sophisticated, method of printing by direct imaging, designers have always focused on the adoption of elements and principles of design as the basis to put the design rubrics together. But more than that, the entire breadth of design creation is often taken beyond the mundane of the simple rudiments. This paper, therefore, focused on a new phenomenon of personality induced impetus which became a noticeable trend on the production of political campaign posters in Nigeria. The paper delved into the historical appearance of campaign posters in Nigeria across the major political epochs, it was found out that the Nation’s political imbalance from divergent tribal regions was a primary flare which festered the personality induced visuals on posters in order to douse political tensions. Three major presidential candidates’ campaign posters were purposively selected for scrutiny from the 2023 Nigeria’s General election and the Art historical method of visual art criticism was adopted to appraise the posters and the practice of the Graphics designers. The paper concluded by ideating the inseparability of the role of art from the dictates of the society.

The construction industry is the largest manufacturing industry, which produces concrete and other related materials for construction of infrastructure around the world, after the food production industry. This industry requires a lot of natural resources like aggregates, limestone etc. to produce finished product such as concrete and cement. These natural resources are limited and have to deplete one day, so alternate to these resources are required. On the other hand, this industry produces a large amount of waste material that creates environmental pollution. In the present era, to recycle waste and to reduce environmental pollution is the main objectives of sustainable development. Sustainable development in structural materials is currently getting attention all around the world. Solid waste, building and demolition waste, natural resources, and their reuse are the most obvious strategies for achieving sustainability in the construction industry. Many researchers are working on new techniques and thinking for innovation in the ﬁeld of concrete technology by utilizing the waste material in concrete. As a fiber reinforcement material, Human Hair Fiber (HHF), an alternate non-degradable matter, is available in abundance and at a very cheap cost. In this review of literature paper presents the quantitative analysis of HHF as natural fibers in cement concrete

Published: May 2023

Democracy has made voting incredibly important in any nation due to a general scepticism of the traditional voting process. Individuals have witnessed violations of their fundamental rights. Lack of transparency has led to challenges to other digital voting systems. The majority of voting methods are not sufficiently transparent, which makes it highly challenging for the government to win over voters' trust. The previous and present digital voting systems have failed because they are vulnerable to abuse. The main goal is to fix issues with the traditional and electronic voting systems, including any form of error or unfairness that may occur when voting. To ensure a fair election and lessen unfairness, blockchain technology can be included into the voting process. The computerised voting methods are not flawless enough to be used on a broad scale, and the physical voting systems have numerous problems as well. This evaluates the requirement for a remedy to safeguard citizens' democratic rights. In order to establish a trustworthy working connection between voters and election officials, this article introduces a platform based on cutting-edge blockchain technology. Without using any actual polling places, the proposed technology offers a framework that may be used to conduct voting activity digitally through blockchain. Our suggested design uses adaptable consensus algorithms to support a scalable blockchain. Blockchains with pre-established validation procedures were developed for a specific voting storage.Voter verification will be provided by IRIS Recognition. All systems in a value chain save blocks of time-stamped voting. Blockchain is a log of transactions where members of a community may track asset transfers. Using the SHA-256 technique, two blocks are connected to one another. It has also been elaborated on how to encrypt transactions using cryptographic hashes and guard against 51% attacks on the blockchain. Also, the method for conducting blockchain transactions during the voting process has been developed using Blockchain Lastly, the performance assessment of the suggested method demonstrates that it may be used to a sizable population

Data science is a multidisciplinary blend of data inference, algorithm development and technology in order to solve analytically complex problems. Data science is used by almost all the industries like instructive organizations, finance, medical services, business to deal with huge volumes of information. The pragmatic applications range from foreseeing stock development to anticipating disease; utilized in picture preparing to character acknowledgment, sound handling for discourse to message expectation. Since the majority of individuals on the planet are dealing with issues in the field of verification and security. The system provides a real time eye tracing for password authentication for people who authenticate themselves using Morse code. Advancement in the technology of authentication and authorization has be supported in the 21st century a lot as we know. Personal identification numbers (PIN) are widely used for user authentication and security since the late 90's. Since PIN numbers are easily crack able these days, people prefer to follow different approach. PIN validation with hands-off look-based PIN section procedures, then again, abandons no actual impressions and in this manner offers a safer secret word passage alternative. Gaze-based system for authentication alludes to discovering the eye area across consecutive picture frames and following the eye movements by plotting the eye center. Password authentication will be done using Morse code, where numbers will be represented in dots and dashes. This model presents a real-time application for gaze-based PIN entry with face recognition, and eye detection and tracking for PIN identification using a smart camera

Why do emergency providers choose one opioid over another? A prospective cohort analysis
Authors: B. O’Connor, MD, MPH Alec
Published: May 2023

Objective: The reasons providers choose one parenteral opioid over another are not well understood. The authors sought to determine why emergency department (ED) providers choose one parenteral opioid over another.Methods: In a cohort of ED patients who received intravenous morphine or hydromorphone, the authors prospectively assessed patient and provider factors associated with choice of opioid, which were included in regression analyses to identify independent predictors of hydromorphone prescription. Providers were also asked in real time why they chose one opioid over another for a specific patient. Narrative responses were coded and analyzed. Results: Opioid choice was tightly linked with equianalgesic dose, with the median hydromorphone dosage more than 50 percent higher than the dosage of morphine. Besides dose, choice of hydromorphone was most strongly associated with home opioid use and a diagnosis of kidney stone. Provider preference or habit was the most commonly cited reason for choosing the prescribed opioid, with the majority of those responses given by providers who prescribed morphine. One-fourth of morphine prescribers stated that the patient required a lower dosage or less potent option; one-fourth of hydromorphone prescribers stated that either the patient required a higher dosage or more potent option or hydromorphone is more effective. In total, 46 percent of providers gave a reason that does not seem to have pharmacologic validity. Conclusions: ED providers seem to prescribe “usual” dosages of morphine and relatively higher usual dosages of hydromorphone. The reasons for choosing one opioid over the other for a specific patient vary from simple preference to common misconceptions about opioid pharmacology. Improved understanding of opioid pharmacology may improve analgesic outcomes for some patients.

Sultan Tengku Abdul Aziz Jalil Rahmadsyah Al-Hajj carries a modern education which is full of logic and rationality and then juxtaposes it with a strong ethical and aesthetic based tradition. Sui-generis of modern and traditional education which places the value of modernity on the one hand and traditionality on the other, will synergize with each other to become alternative knowledge that is rich in perspective but is timeless from the spirituality that is its root. Azizi Mosque which is a historic building inherited from the Sultanate of Langkat, North Sumatra. The mosque which was founded by the Langkat sultanate still has ornaments and carvings on the original building design since 1902. This is an attraction to enjoy the splendor of the mosque which has cultural values ??of the Malay tribe. The Azizi Mosque is located at the Medan - Aceh road crossing, to be precise, in Tanjung Pura District, Langkat Regency. The Azizi Mosque is a witness to the history of the spread of Islam in the Malay lands. Even though it has been 120 years since its establishment in 1902, the Azizi Mosque building is still sturdy and majestic. Dominated by a very thick yellow color, Masid Azizi has elements of Malay culture and there are also various ornaments in the form of carvings on the windows, domes and even the minarets of the mosque which are influenced by Persian, Indian, Arabic and Turkish cultures, adding to the grandeur of the Azizi Mosque. Not only the ornaments, but the walls are also decorated with Koranic, geometrical and floral calligraphy which makes this historic building beautiful. Apart from being a witness to the spread of Islam in Malay lands, the Azizi Mosque during the Langkat Sultanate was used as a court and palace mosque. Islamic education is different from other education. Islamic education prioritizes Islamic values ??and is focused on the formation of human beings who have good morals and are obedient and subservient to Allah alone. Meanwhile, non-Islamic education does not place too much priority on Islamic elements and values, the only priority being the fulfillment of sensory needs. There were three main buildings as educational institutions at that time, including the Maslurah Madrasa which was founded in 1912, the Aziziah Madrasa in 1914 and the Mahmudiyah Madrasa in 1921. The three educational institutions were then named the Jama'iyah Mahmudiyah college. In 1923 to improve the quality of education at the Jama'iyah Mahmudiyah college, most of the teaching staff were teachers who had studied in the Middle East such as Mecca, Medina and Egypt.
