Challenges faced by student teachers when teaching through the medium of mother tongue during school based studies
Authors: Nzwala Kenneth
Published: December 2023

This paper reports on a study that investigated challenges faced by Bachelor of Education (Pre and Lower Primary) final year University of Namibia students at Katima Mulilo Campus when they taught through the medium of mother tongue during School Based Studies (SBS). The study is located in the interpretive paradigm and is an intrinsic case study. It is shaped by the school of thought that supports the use of mother tongue as the medium of instruction in lower primary classrooms. Two students at two different School Based Studies support schools were studied. Data were collected by using interviews and classroom observation. One student teacher taught in Grade 2, and the other one taught in Grade 3. Both were interviewed and their lessons were observed. Interviews and observations were transcribed and translated into English. The results of the study show that Pre and Lower Primary Bachelor of Education final year student teachers faced various challenges with regards to the use of mother tongue as medium of instruction during SBS. The challenges ranged from their inability to express themselves fluently in the target language (Silozi in this case); difficulties in translating concepts from English into Silozi (mother tongue) since the curriculum is in English; writing words; planning lessons in the target language; a lack of materials in line with topics, more especially topics of integration. The study recommends that the Silozi orthography should be made available to all the schools in the region; teachers should receive intensive training on how to teach through the medium of Silozi; lessons that are taught through the medium of Silozi should be planned in Silozi and not in English; there should be Silozi dictionaries to assist teachers with translation. Finally, there should be relevant Silozi teaching and learning materials.
The essence of English Literature in communicative based ESL classrooms
Authors: Nyathi Sifiso F. , Simataa Agnes A.
Published: December 2023

This study is a depiction and portrayal of the views of Namibian Grade 11 and 12 teachers of English as a Second Language (ESL) on the use of English literature in ESL classrooms. The study also presents the rationale and conceptualisation underlying the significance of the use of English literature in the quest to improve English proficiency levels of students. The study was premised on a Humanistic Communicative Approach which is anchored in the Learner Centered Philosophy; a vanguard of Namibia’s epistemology for language learning and teaching. A questionnaire that contained both qualitative and quantitative items was used to gather data. The respondents in general agreed that the study of literature could be used to enhance learner proficiency in the ESL classroom. They agreed that the benefits of literature in an ESL classroom are multidimensional. These benefits include among others; attainment of pragmatic skills, grammar and vocabulary expansion, extensive reading motivation, intercultural awareness, language skills and critical thinking skills.
Learners as leaders in Namibian schools: taking responsibility and exercising agency
Authors: Grant Callie , Nekondo Linus
Published: December 2023

Educational leadership and management (ELM) research has, all-too-often, attributed a positional quality to leadership and equated school leadership with the principal at the top of the management hierarchy. We argue that leadership is not limited by formal authority and can be exercised by individuals and groups other than the principal. Of specific interest to us is the leadership of learners. However, research in this niche area is limited, and particularly so in African countries such as Namibia. Framed by the concepts of learner voice and democratic citizenship, this article focuses on the leadership development of Namibian school learners and argues that learners should be treated as people whose ideas matter. It draws on a Bachelor of Education Honours ELM elective which required Honours students (practicing teachers) to establish leadership clubs in their schools and involve learners in a change initiative in pursuit of leadership development. The research which informed this article was designed as a case study to explore learner voice and the development of leadership across extra-curricular leadership clubs in 32 Namibian schools. Data were generated from a number of different sources and analysed thematically. The purpose of this article is two-fold; first to give a broad overview of the 32 Namibian clubs and show, through the identification of the focus areas of their club projects for the year, ‘what mattered’ to learners, and second to discuss, in detail, one of these 32 clubs. On the basis of our findings, we argue that learners can indeed be developed as leaders through the introduction of learner leadership clubs in schools. Given the appropriate forum, learners are able to articulate what matters to them in schools; they are able to develop a voice. Given the right conditions and concomitant support, learners can enact leadership, particularly when they have conceptualised the school change initiative. Because learners are central to school life, they are well placed to bring about school change. Yet, we caution, the leadership development of learners is unlikely to be sustained without bold and continued leadership on the part of teachers and the school management team.

Global simulation: fostering students pro-activism in the learning of Frech in Anglophone countries
Authors: Zannier-Wahengo Aurelie
Published: December 2023

Learning and teaching activities evolve together with the didactics research progress. In foreign language teaching, the communicative approach, developed in the 1970s, positioned learners at the epicentre of the learning-teaching process, exposing them to realistic and authentic communicative situations. New teaching activities and practices developed in order to answer the learner-centred approach needs, and simulation techniques found interest among many French foreign language experts. In the early 1980s, role-play activities were implemented in French foreign language classrooms and they became unavoidable activities in textbooks. They were eventually introduced as testing instruments in official certifications such as the French International Language Certificates DELF and DALF. The global simulation teaching technique, which appeared together with role-play, was more ambitious as it required learners to create and interact in a collective world of reference, in which they had to simulate fictional characters communicating with each other in a specific realist environment, and according to the on-going events and incidents occurring in this environment. In a global simulation, learners embark on a “realistic illusion” where they are actors as well as decision makers of the storyline. Unlike role-play, the global simulation teaching technique constitutes the core of the teaching content. This paper aims to define the Global Simulation process and its technicalities, and to analyse its potential pedagogical advantages and limitations. The paper will attempt to present origins and concepts of the Global Simulation in FFL to value its pedagogical advantages from teachers’ and learners’ points of view, and to underline the possible obstacles and/or limitations of this communicative tool.
Interrogating paradoxes in the multilingual provisions of the new 2013 Zimbabwean constitution
Authors: Mazuruse Mickson
Published: December 2023

The general understanding that goes with ‘officialising’ a language is that, its status is raised and its functions are diversified so much that it may be used in all facets of life. This study interrogates the possibilities of translating this official recognition into actual practice. The main issues to be discussed are; respondents’ awareness of the multilingual linguistic provisions in the 2013 constitution, respondents’ attitudes towards the multilingual provisions of the 2013 Zimbabwean constitution and the dichotomy between separate development of related varieties and harmonising related varieties. The study further looks at the practical possibilities of implementing these provisions by examining the conduciveness of the situation on the ground in Zimbabwe for such a change. The study also questions the commitment of the Zimbabwe government in promoting linguistic pluralism given its failure to implement the provisions of the 1987 Education Act on languages to be taught and used in schools. The study found that there are contentious issues to be considered. The first contentious issue identified by this research is on the need to maintain the unity in the country. The study argues that there is need to balance the desires of unity in diversity without getting lost in idealism. Although this may give these varieties space in the education sector, the problem is that, only a handful of varieties were chosen from a cluster of several such varieties in a similar situation.

Abstract. Buildings grow rapidly in urban areas. Along with the newly built buildings, the need for supporting facilities is increased significantly like the need for parking facilities. Yet, there was still a failure on the building design that will lead criminals to do something that can be dangerous and threaten human security. However, there is still anther ways to prevent crime by considering the design and criminal aspects, that is CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design). This research aims to assess CPTED implementation in a high rise building underground parking facilities in Medan. This research uses the descriptive qualitative method to reveal data systematically, factually, and describe the various phenomenon of a particular population or area. Data stored and processed with AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) methods with the help of computer software named Super Decision on getting the value of each specific CPTED key concept for parking facilities. The final CPTED assessment score is 2.994 out of 4. This score is on the range of 2,51-3,00 rating system and categorized as good and shows that CPTED implementation at Cambridge City Square underground parking facilities is suited in CPTED principles even though there are still various components of variables and sub-variables were missing and below standard quality. The result of this research is expected to be useful in the field of architecture especially in preventing crime.

Published: December 2023

The development of higher education institutions in Indonesia is increasing rapidly, one of which is at the Sumatran Institute of Technology or ITERA. One of ITERA’s significant developments is the increase in the number of students. The increasing number of ITERA students certainly impacts increasing the need for supporting facilities around the ITERA campus. One of them is the increasing number of housing needs, in this case, rental housing. Because not a few ITERA students come from outside Lampung Province, rental housing is vital in the ITERA area. The rental housing around the ITERA campus has its type and criteria, so ITERA students have different preferences in choosing rental housing. This study aims to find out what factors are why ITERA students choose rental housing. Research data was collected through a survey process through online questionnaires using a mix-method method, namely a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods. Meanwhile, data analysis uses content analysis and distribution analysis methods. The research results show a tendency for specific reasons toward the preference for choosing rental housing. ITERA students tend to choose boarding houses for privacy reasons, House in multiple occupation for facilities, and dormitory types for financing reasons. In general, ITERA students tend to choose rental housing for financial reasons.
A Study of the Application Sustainable Architecture at Horas Siantar Market Buildings
Authors: N Vinky Rahman  , Simarmata Roni
Published: December 2023

Pasar Horas is a traditional market with the most extensive building as a traditional market in Pematang Siantar. Pasar Horas provides all the needs of tools and household materials to meet the community's needs, which makes Pasar Horas an essential role in meeting the community's needs. The impact given by the Pasar Horas building must be considered both on the environment and its users. Pasar Horas itself has fairly bad implications when viewed from the aspect of Sustainable Architecture, such as the wrong direction of building orientation, not eco-friendly materials, inefficient land use, and waste management due to market activities, where Sustainable Architecture itself calls for the negative impact of the establishment of the building is not too big. Therefore, the application of Sustainable Architecture in Pasar Horas buildings is needed so that the negative impact caused by the market on the environment and its users can be minimized, which will later be able to adapt Pasar Horas to the new era and become a traditional market that can compete with modern markets to meet household needs of the Pematang Siantar community.

Authors: Novrial  , Khairunnisa Rangkuti Widya
Published: December 2023

The façade as a representative element of an architectural work can be an indicator of environmental character apart from socio-cultural, spiritual, and economic conditions at a certain time. The emergence of new buildings in the city of Medan is facing a rapidly changing face of the city, accompanied by the increasing need for space utilization and variations in building façade designs, where this phenomenon occurs in outer ring roads. Gagak Hitam and A.H. Nasution street, as the outer ring road of the city of Medan, is growing rapidly with various types of functions with the dominance of modern shophouses, which produce a façade typology that can be grouped and looked for differences according to certain indicators in the existing theory review. This study aimed to find a typology of shophouse façades in the corridor of Gagak Hitam and A.H. Nasution street, which became their character. The researcher collected data from literature sources, observed the research area, and redrawn the two-dimensional façade model to identify, in general, the elements and composition of the façade of the research object. According to the findings, there is no special type that becomes the standard for the character of the shophouses in the two road corridors.

Published: December 2023

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Baseline provides a 10-year outlook for seven major U.S. crops (corn, soybeans, wheat, sorghum, barley, oats, cotton) and plays an important role in predicting farm program expenditures in the President's annual budget proposal. To provide the best-possible projections, it is necessary to frequently revisit the underlying models behind the baseline to ensure that they are theoretically consistent and produce realistic projections. This study examined the performance of the existing area planted equations for seven major U.S. crops in the U.S. baseline model relative to observed historical area planted values. It subsequently estimated a system of equations for seven major U.S. crops to produce price consistent supply (i.e., higher price increases own supply but decreases other crop supplies)

TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BANKING SYSTEM OF UKRAINE IN 2023
Authors:   Dnipropetrovsk Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, Okunevych Iryna
Published: December 2023

In 2023, Ukraine continues the war with the aggressor that began in February 2022. In this context, it is important to understand the state of the banking system as one of the main guarantees of the country's financial stability during the war and to identify trends in its further development. In order to identify the main trends that are inherent in the further development of the banking system in these conditions, it is necessary to analyze its current state. To do this, it is quite effective to study current statistical data (analysis of the dynamics of changes in key indicators, identification of the causes of their fluctuations, etc.), which highlight the activities of domestic banks in its various aspects and affect the overall level of development of the banking system. Thus, today it is appropriate and expedient to analyze the current state of the banking system of Ukraine, its peculiarities of functioning in the conditions of the war waged in the country. Thus, the relevance of the study is beyond doubt, and the topic is extremely important today. The purpose of the study is to analyze the state of performance indicators of the banking system of Ukraine by groups of banks for 9 months of 2023 and to identify trends in its further development. To achieve this goal, the author studied the existing structure of the banking system of Ukraine for 9 months of 2023 and analyzed its state for the same period. The research was based on the use of various general and specific scientific methods, namely: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, abstraction, generalization, economic, mathematical and statistical methods, etc. The key financial indicators of the modern domestic banking system are analyzed. It is established that since 2017, the National Bank of Ukraine has been using the following groups to analyze the activities of the banking system of Ukraine: banks with a state share, banks of foreign banking groups, and banks with private capital. The study found that the banking system is generally profitable, with its performance indicators most influenced by the performance of two groups of banks: state-owned banks and banks of foreign banking groups. The analysis also shows a positive trend towards an increase in the level of solvency of the banking system in the face of the aggressor. The author concludes that the NBU's policy is balanced and that the management of banking institutions is effective in the context of war.
THE ESSENCE OF LOSSES OF ENTERPRISES, INSTITUTIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF ARMED AGGRESSION
Authors:   Dnipropetrovsk Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, Rozumniy Serhii
Published: December 2023

The paper presents the results of a study of the essence of the concept of losses of enterprises, institutions and organizations of all forms of ownership in the context of the consequences of armed aggression. The number of affected enterprises, institutions and organizations that have suffered damage or suffered losses as a result of the destruction and damage to their property in connection with the armed aggression of the Russian Federation, as well as did not receive income due to the impossibility or obstacles in conducting economic activity, is growing. The issue is a priority. Scientific research of scientists on the legal and economic nature of the concept of damages allows for a wider disclosure of its essence and the purpose of calculation (assessment). It is outlined that this issue is one of the key directions of economic analysis of enterprises' activities, which determines the priorities for assessing the financial condition of enterprises, the initial data of the necessary sources of information, and so on. Approaches to the definition of the concept of "losses", both in Ukrainian science and in accounting, have been studied, and it has been concluded that the most important characteristic of losses is the financial result of economic activity. A characteristic of the calculation of losses of the affected enterprises in relation to the volume of loss of assets is proposed. The losses of the affected enterprises are divided into direct losses, indirect losses and the need for recovery. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that the diagnostics of the financial results of the affected enterprises should be carried out in relation to the assets that are destroyed or damaged, from the standpoint of assessing the prospects for the possibility of their restoration and the possibility of making a profit in future periods.
THE INFLUENCE OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DIGITAL ECONOMY ON THE CHANGE IN THE PARADIGM OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF ENTERPRISES
Authors:   State University of Information and Communication Technology, Sazonova Svitlana , Tikhonova Nataliia ,   Institute of Innovative Education of  Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture
Published: December 2023

The article argues that the digital economy, which is based on digital transformation and digitalisation, leads to a change in the basic concepts of enterprise management. In the study, we analyse the methods and approaches to strategic management used by enterprises to withstand global changes in the world. Most of the literature on digital transformation and digitalisation focuses on the strategic management of enterprises in the context of global competition. However, the strategic management of enterprises in the digital economy is not fully disclosed. It is noted that increasing production and labour efficiency, entering new markets, introducing new services based on telecommunications infrastructure at relatively low investment costs makes the digital technology market attractive to modern enterprises and leads to an exponential growth in the development of the digital economy. Attention is focused on the need to take into account the consequences of the impact of the digital economy when developing an enterprise management strategy. The flexible management strategies at the enterprise are considered and it is found that the digital strategy enables the enterprise not only to introduce new digital technologies, but also to control them, which will facilitate the process of strategic management, solving problems at the enterprise and increasing the organisational flexibility of the enterprise. It is determined that strategic digital consciousness is the ability of an enterprise to implement a digital strategy that collects and re-activates all functions of the enterprise for the further development of the enterprise in the digital economy. It is substantiated that the paradigms of strategic management of enterprises in the digital economy are structural characteristics (organisational structure, management approaches, future prospects, life cycle, etc.) and processes related to digital transformation. This study argues that the factor of consciousness, which is often neglected in the literature or practice, should be the first stage of strategic management. In the digital economy, strategic awareness should be the first stage of the strategic management process in enterprises.

The Spatial Planning System and Practice in Post-Socialist Romania: Between the Heritage of “Systematization” and Europenization
Authors: Benedek József
Published: December 2023

This paper offers an overview of the major processes and characteristics of the spatial planning system and practice in Romania. It is largely based on document analysis, proposing an evaluation of the major legislative documents regulating the field of spatial planning (the basic Law nr. 350 from 2001 for Spatial Planning and Urbanism, and additionally, the seven laws composing the National Spatial Planning Act). We focus on the description of the planning practices indetified in the official spatial planning documents from various spatial scales, from regional to local, by considering the interactions established between institutional, economic, political and cultural factors from the socialist period and during the post-socialist transition period. The article argues for the major effects related to a low-speed but obvious Europeanization process of the spatial planning institutions and practices expressed through the uncritical and unreflected introduction of neo-liberal ideas in the spatial planning legislation and practices. The resulting spatial planning system has taken a hybrid shape, represented by a mix of three major European planning styles: comprehensive integrated, land-use oriented and urbanistic planning styles.
Assessing the sustainability of spatial development decisions
Authors: Kocziszky György , Szendi Dóra
Published: December 2023

Changing social and economic conditions justify a rethinking of the theory and practice of domestic spatial development and planning. Despite the progress made over the last thirty years, sustainability problems have emerged for some development projects following the exhaustion of budgetary resources. This paper presents a model developed by the authors for the ex-post and ex-ante assessment of the sustainability of spatial development decisions and suggests an aggregate index for quantifying the model, which can be used to support the preliminary analysis for spatial development decisions.

This article discusses the contestation that occurs between online motorcycle taxis and on-the-go taxis (locally known as ojek pangkalan) in gig economy situations in public spaces. Different from previous studies that emphasize aspects of factors, competitive strategies, and ways of adaptation, this paper explains more about their contestation in the public space arena and online media. This paper analyzed it using the concept of Social Network Analysis from Neil Fleigstein (2012), which identifies actor resources and collaborative networks that exist after a contestation situation. Data was collected through mixed methods utilizing digital data using the NVivo, Wordij, and Gephi applications, complemented by in-depth interviews and field observations supplemented by similar literature. Overall, the results show that online motorcycle uses their social skill to develop a strategy for maintaining the resources and access to the market. The resolution of the contestation between social actors operating in the transportation sector in public space produces a dominant group which can control the chaotic situation to win customers.

Fish preservation is an important stage of fish production as it helps in the reduction of post-harvest losses. This leads to the study of ethanolic extract of black pepper as a preservative of African catfish. A sample size of five (5) fish of average weight 600g for each treatment were slaughtered and gutted before they were dipped in the black pepper extract for 10minutes and 20 minutes in separate bowls. The fish samples that had been preserved with the plant extract were monitored for spoilage at an interval of four (4) hours for the period of forty eight (48) hours and the organoleptic characteristics were observed and recorded. The shelf life of the experimental African catfish was extended from 20 hours as seen in the unpreserved sample to between 24 – 26 hours in the preserved sample. The study also indicated that the duration of dip did not have any effect on the preservative action of black pepper seed extract and this was because the extract was only able to extend the shelf life of the sample to 24 – 26 hours before becoming unfit for consumption at 28 hours for both the 10 and 20 minutes dipping durations. It can therefore be concluded from the findings of this research that African catfish can be preserved using natural preservatives (plants) and thereby reducing post-harvest losses.

The socio-economic and health benefits of Orange Flesh Sweet Potato (OFSP) were the foremost and scientifically proven advantages of cultivation and consumption OFSP respectively. The present study seeks to understand farmers’ knowledge of health and socio-economic benefits of orange fleshed sweet potato in Kwara State, Nigeria. A total of 139 sweet potato farmers were sampled. A structured questionnaire was used to collect primary data. Data collected were analyzed with frequency count, percentages, mean, standard deviation and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). Findings showed that majority (87.1%) had knowledge of socio-economic benefits of growing OFSP. Most of the respondents (63.3%) had moderate knowledge of the socio-economic benefits of growing OFSP. The respondents agreed that consumption of OFSP improve digestion (46.8%), boost immune system (31.7%) and improve vision (12.2%). Respondents additionally agreed that growing OFSP had mainly increased household income (34.5%), improved food security (47.5%) and increased participation in social activities (33.1%). Inadequate access to planting materials (79.1%) was the leading challenges to growing OFSP. PPMC analysis indicated that household size, family members involved in farming, years of experience, number of plots, income and knowledge of OFSP were the factors that influence farmers’ perception on health/socioeconomic benefits of OFSP at p≤0.05 level of significance. This study concluded that farmers had moderate knowledge level on health and socio-economic benefits of cultivating and consumption of OFSP. Therefore, agricultural extension agents should intensify efforts in the supply of planting materials and enlightenment of health benefits for improved vision.
Educación remota de emergencia durante la COVID-19. Experiencia de directoras en primarias de Aguascalientes

Published: December 2023

Este artículo muestra hallazgos de una investigación cuyo objetivo fue caracterizar la experiencia de directivos de escuelas primarias públicas en Aguascalientes durante el periodo de educación remota de emergencia (ERE) derivada de la COVID-19; la metodología fue cualitativa de enfoque fenomenológico. Se presentan las experiencias de tres directoras de escuelas ubicadas en comunidades con nivel socioeconómico similar. Los hallazgos muestran que el inicio de la ERE se dio en un marco de incertidumbre e improvisación de estrategias, mientras los docentes y directivos se capacitaban en diversas plataformas tecnológicas y, en general, reorganizaban la enseñanza. Por esto, las directoras se acercaron más a su comunidad educativa ya que buscaron ejercer un acompañamiento centrado en la comunicación constante y activa para conocer las necesidades y preocupaciones de cada uno de sus integrantes para apoyarlos, pese a la inexperiencia en escenarios de emergencia y la falta de recursos provistos por las autoridades educativas estatales.
