Background: To report the epidemiological, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of spinal dysraphism, with emphasis on the difficulties encountered during management in Madagascar.
Methods: This is a retrospective, descriptive, multicenter study in the 7 neurosurgical centers of Madagascar over 5 years on children operated on for spinal dysraphism.
Results: We collected 50 cases over 5 years. The mean age was 16.95 ± 33.94 months. Girls predominated (sex ratio = 0.85). The absence of folic acid supplementation in the mother was found in 62%. In all cases, the diagnosis was made in the postnatal period. Myelomeningocele is the most frequent form. Hydrocephalus was found in 20% of cases, orthopaedic malformation in 20%, and Chiari type II malformation in 2%. The dysraphism was localized at the lumbar level in 50% of cases. A spinal CT scan was performed in 62% of cases and transfontanellar ultrasound in 22% of cases. No magnetic resonance imaging of the brain or spinal cord was performed. A ventriculoperitoneal shunt was performed in 8% of cases. Postoperative hydrocephalus was 4%and mortality was 1% due to meningitis. The average follow-up time was 3 months with an extreme of 3 months to 3 years.
Conclusion: In spite of the difficulties in the management of these children and the technical platform available in the country, they are operated correctly and the hospital mortality is low.
The Politics of the Unity Accord of 1987 in Baya’s Tomorrow’s People
Authors: Moyo Thamsanqa
Published: February 2024

That politics is the acquisition, retention and perpetuation of power seems to have been the teleology of the Unity Accord of 1987. This was an agreement signed between ZANU-PF and PF-ZAPU in the glare of the Gukurahundi genocide when the ethnic and political other had been rendered helpless and, therefore, offered a Hobson’s choice. The agreement authorised ethnic subordination and left feelings of bitterness on sections of the country. In examining the politics of the Unity Accord, the study draws from Baya’s play titled Tomorrow’s People (2009). It is one of the literary texts that narrativises the sentiments about the unity agreement. The paper uses the Social Identity Theory to argue that the agreement was solipsistic in terms of constructing the them and us binaries in ethnic relations in Zimbabwe. The paper concludes that the implications of the accord have not been sufficiently theorised in terms of its political, social, linguistic and economic belonging and equal opportunities. There can never be national unity without reconciliation and forgiveness; enforced forgetfulness breeds bitterness and magnifies ethnic identification as shown in Zimbabwe today.

SUSTAINING THE MELANAU LANGUAGE
Authors:   Universiti Teknologi MARA Cawangan Sarawak Kampus Mukah, BOHARI MOHAMAD MUSA
Published: February 2024

This paper proposes a strategy to sustain the Melanau language. The justification for sustaining the language includes possibilities of language endangerment which has destroyed thousands of languages of the world. The Melanau language which covers multiple dialects is exposed to many threats such as attitudes towards the language and dominant languages, especially in dealing with the forces of globalization. Therefore, the strategy to sustain the Melanau language includes programmes of documentation, promoting the language into cyberspace and media, the revival of art and literature, and the introduction of the language to the national academic setting. It needs to be implemented by various parties, especially the speakers of Melanau themselves. However, the sustainability effort might face challenges particularly involving multiple Melanau dialects. Thus, this situation deserves careful attention from all the Melanau speech communities.

The crucial issues for successful technology-enhanced out-of-class language learning are the learners’ attitude and the continuance intention to use technology. Hence, when designing and implementing a relevant and innovative e-learning platform, there is a salient need to identify the acceptance factors of users. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) has received significant recognition through various research conducted to determine users’ acceptance of relevant technology innovations. This paper attempts to describe students’ acceptance in using an open access e-learning website, namely UiTM WESLLAP (https://uitmwebitors.wixsite.com/uitmwesllap), for their English proficiency course during the Open Distance Learning (ODL) period in April to July 2020. A set of questionnaires based on TAM was distributed to 72 semester one diploma students before the start of the ODL session. The items include the participants’ perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude, and intention to use UiTM WESLLAP during ODL. The same set of questionnaires was distributed again to the same participants after ten weeks of ODL sessions using UiTM WESLLAP. The descriptive findings show increased positive perceptions of ODL by the participants after using the website. The study provides insights into the essential indicators of e-learning platform acceptance in a higher education institution, which can help in the enhancement of ODL platform for future development and implementation.

Tulisan Jawi merupakan tulisan yang dikenali di nusantara khasnya di alam Melayu. Meskipun tulisan Jawi tidak lagi digunakan secara meluas, namun di Malaysia pengajaran dan pembelajaran (PnP) tulisan Jawi masih berlaku di sekolah kebangsaan Melayu memandangkan ia merupakan sebahagian daripada warisan kebudayaan bangsa. Namun, pengajaran dan pembelajaran (PnP) tulisan Jawi juga mempunyai cabaran, khasnya sistem ejaan Jawi yang digunakan sukar dikuasai oleh pelajar seperti penggunaan suku kata tertutup (SKT). Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti kemahiran murid mengenal dan menggunakan SKT serta menyingkap faktor yang menyebabkan SKT sukar dikuasai. Sebanyak 10 orang murid terlibat dalam kajian ini sebagai peserta kajian termasuk seorang guru yang mengajar pelajaran Jawi. Instrumen soal selidik, kertas ujian dan temu bual separa berstruktur digunakan untuk mengutip data. Data yang dikutip kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif untuk mendapatkan gambaran sebenar situasi yang berlaku dalam sampel kajian. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan ada responden dapat menggunakan SKT pada perkataan tertentu, dan kebanyakan mereka masih keliru dan tidak menguasai SKT dengan baik. Kajian ini juga mendapati faktor seperti masa yang diperuntukan dan kaedah penyampaian pengajaran dan pembelajaran perlu dilakukan secara lebih kreatif mengikut tahap kognitif pelajar yang lebih cenderung untuk aktiviti permainan yang meyeronokkan. Kajian ini penting kerana ia mampu menunjukkan pola penerimaan dan penguasaan tulisan Jawi yang membuka kepada kajian selanjutnya khususnya dalam kalangan pelajar-pelajar sekolah di Malaysia.

Over the years, many people have gradually shown a higher preference for nature-based ecotourism, partly because of the increased awareness of the importance of sustainable tourism. Issues regarding international travel limitation and the need for social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic have diverted local tourists' attractions to turn to more nature-based ecotourism rather than crowded city tours. Premier ecotourism destinations usually adopt sustainable management practices such as good visitors and risk management with regular training and capacity building. This study aims to examine the perception of stakeholders (in this case, the government sector) towards sustainable tourism in Kinabalu Park, with an emphasis on sustainable practices. Synchronous qualitative interviews with the stakeholders were conducted online and thematic analysis were done via the NVIVO software. The findings showed that the government agencies managing Kinabalu Park clearly understood sustainable tourism. The findings provide valuable information

Global aquatic ecosystems are becoming increasingly polluted with heavy metals posing health concerns associated with fish consumption. This study aims to determine the concentrations of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in local and imported fish (Rastrelliger kanagurta), and its potential human health risk. Total local and imported fish (60 samples) were randomly selected and purchased from ten different supermarkets in Shah Alam, Selangor. Cd and Pb concentrations were assessed by using dry ashing-acid digestion technique and analysed with atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The analytical results shows that the mean concentration of Cd in local and imported fish (Rastrelliger kanagurta) were 0.487 ± 0.25 mg/kg and 0.267 ± 0.11 mg/kg, respectively. The mean concentration of Pb in local fish was higher at 2.774 ± 1.46 mg/kg compared to the imported fish (1.482 ± 0.81 mg/kg). Further analysis indicated that there are significant differences (p < 0.05) for both Cd and Pb levels in local and imported fish (Rastrelliger kanagurta) sold within Selangor supermarkets. The concentration of Pb in local fish sold from supermarkets failed to comply with all the standards guidelines. The hazard quotient (HQ) used for health risk assessment of Pb and Cd was found to be < 1 (HQ < 1) for imported fish and potential risk for local fish (HQ > 1). The study reveals that the local fish are not totally safe for consumption and the pollution concentrations are on the borderline but can be treated.
Harmonisasi Keluarga Dan Adopsi Nilai Moderasi Beragama Dalam Upaya Pencegahan Keluarga Non-Harmoni
Authors: Hilal Fatmawati
Published: February 2024

Keluarga sebagai institusi terkecil dalam masyarakat merupakan tumpuan utama mewujudkan keluarga harmonis yang sleanjutnya menjadi cikal bakal lahirnya negara yang aman, damai dan tenteram. Keluarga yang harmonis adalah cita-cita dan harapan setiap keluarga. Tulisan ini memaparkan pentingnya harmonisasi keluarga dengan mengadopsi nilai-nilai moderasi beragama sebagai upaya mencegah lahirnya keluarga non harmoni. Tulisan ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan syar’i. Hasilnya ditemukan bahwa konsep moderasi beragama, seperti tawassuth (mengambil jalan tengah), tawazun (berkeseimbangan), I’tidal (lurus dan tegas), tasamuh (toleransi), musawah (egaliter), syuira (musyawarah), Ishlah (reformasi), aulawiyah (mendahulukan yang prioritas), dan tathawwur wal ibtikar (dinamis dan inovatif). Nilai-nilai moderasi beragama ini jika diinternalisasi dan diadopsi dalam kehidupan keluarga, maka akan memudahkan terwujudnya keluarga harmonis. Nilai-nilai moderasi beragama melahirkan konsep kesalingan (mubadalah) dalam keluarga. Tidak Memaksakan Kehendak, saling menghargai hak, menjunjung prinsip saling melengkapi, musyawarah dalam mengambil keputusan adalah nilai-nilai moderasi yang akan memudahkan terciptanya keluarga yang harmonis. Internalisasi dan adopsi nilai moderasi beragama dalam keluarga dapat membangun fondasi yang kuat, menciptakan lingkungan yang harmonis, dan mencegah terjadinya kasus keluarga non harmoni (broken home) yang berpotensi merusak kehidupan keluarga dan masyarakat secara keseluruhan.

Authors: Wang Dong
Published: February 2024

The construction of smart classroom is an important symbol of the reform of education informatization, and its application can strengthen and enhance the construction of professional disciplines. The construction of a smart teaching model is done in collaboration with art parametric design and aesthetic assessment of art design works in this paper. The visual salient network at the pixel level of the art design is calculated by segmenting salient objects using the original BASNet model. The diffusion equation is used to calculate the visual position probability map, the probability of the corresponding position is calculated based on the layout of the visual elements, and the optimal layout of the visual elements is generated by the candidate region generation algorithm. By creating an aesthetic evaluation module, the image’s global aesthetic information is modeled, and a mapping relationship is established between the learning image and the aesthetic rating. Finally, an empirical analysis of the smart teaching mode is conducted to investigate the impact of this teaching method on students’ learning efficiency and creative ability. The results show that the comprehensive rating of 100 artworks created under the wisdom teaching mode is 3.09, which is greater than 3. The model is found to be significantly helpful for college art majors, as indicated. College art design teachers can use the research in this paper to develop more effective individualized teaching programs through effective strategic guidance.

Authors: Xu Jin , Zhao Shuang , Gu Yongxian
Published: February 2024

In this paper, for a large amount of text content such as college students’ innovation and entrepreneurship education practice, considering the problem of directionality, based on the idea of a recommendation algorithm, we use word similarity and TextRank algorithm to extract the keywords of innovation and entrepreneurship behaviors as the first-knowledge labels of the textual resources, and introduce complex labeling network based on this. On the premise of semantic-based TextRank keywords and tag network, the fusion-gated graph attention group recommendation algorithm is used to construct college students’ innovation and entrepreneurship practice platform, and the simulation analysis of college students’ innovation and entrepreneurship practice platform is carried out. The results show that the survival rate of virtual startups can be calculated as 5.37% by using the college students’ innovation and entrepreneurship practice platform, which can accurately analyze that college students’ innovation and entrepreneurship behaviors are stronger, but the survival rate of the enterprises founded by college students for the first time needs to be improved. This study can provide theoretical knowledge guidance for the study of college students’ innovative entrepreneurial behavior and has a facilitating effect on the development of innovation and entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities.
Practical Teaching of Music Curriculum in Colleges and Universities Based on Multiple Intelligences Theory
Authors: Sun Tao
Published: February 2024

Traditional piano teaching usually focuses on students’ mastery of music skills and music theory, but neglects the cultivation of students’ musical expression and creativity. In this paper, the multiple intelligence theory is used as the guiding theory, and the multiple hybrid teaching model of the piano course is established by combining the flipped classroom. The Fuzzy-CDF model is introduced to quantify students’ piano music cognitive level, the Apriori algorithm is used to generate piano music knowledge point sequences, and multiple algorithms are used to collaborate on personalized recommendations of piano music knowledge resources for students. For the application effect of the piano music multivariate hybrid teaching model established in this paper, a teaching experiment was conducted to analyze it with H Music Academy as an example. The results show that the combined ability of song arrangement and playing and singing of the experimental class improved by 9.74 and 11.10 points respectively compared with the performance of the control class, and the average value of the difference between the pre-and post-tests of the experimental class’s note recognition ability compared with that of the control class reached 5.8 points. The application of Multiple Intelligences Theory can stimulate the individual’s sensitivity to timbre, pitch, and meter, fully enhance students’ musical expression and creativity, and make piano learning more effective.
Path analysis of digitally empowered mental health services for university students
Authors: Deng Caiyan , Liu Meiling
Published: February 2024

We investigate the viability of using data mining technologies to identify college students’ mental health issues in light of the rising number of these issues. To address the limitations of the traditional Apriori algorithm in data mining of mental health problems, an improved Apriori algorithm is proposed using the classification rule mining method. The relationship between various factors and the mental health problems of college students is better explored by this algorithm. Ultimately, the mental health care pathway that was developed during the exploration was used to conduct a comparative trial between those who received mental health services and those who did not. The experimental group’s mean score in the hyperactive concentration inability dimension was 3.25 after getting mental health care for three weeks, which was 22.6% higher than the control group’s mean score. The aspects of emotional symptoms, pro-social conduct, and total difficulty score also showed significant variations (p<0.05). The mean scores of the experimental group in the pro-social behavior and emotional symptoms dimension in the course of the study and the pre-experiment were 2.17 and 0.57, accordingly, which both demonstrated highly significant differences (p<0.01) in the between-group comparison of the differences in scores at different evaluation times with the control group.

Authors: Julius Kipsang Kosgey  , Dr. Rahab Muthoni Mugambi  , Dr. Vincent Nyamari Maranga
Published: February 2024

The aim of this study was to determine the influence of facilities management on workers' performance within the hotel industry, with a specific focus on maintenance management, workplace design and adherence to facilities regulations and standards in 3-5 star rated hotels in Nairobi County. The study employed a descriptive survey approach, and a purposive sampling technique was utilized to select 144 respondents' selected classified hotels. Data collection instruments included: self-administered questionnaires, interview guides and observation checklists. Descriptive statistics were analyzed through quantitative data, while qualitative insights were obtained from hotel workers. Major findings revealed that the majority of respondents, 52.8%, considered maintenance strategies in hotels as fairly efficient in supporting their daily work activities. 80% of staff and managers indicated that hotels provided training and safe procedures in response to facilities standards and regulations, including compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2007. However, a notable prevalence of accidents and injuries within these establishments was identified, which stood at 57.5%. On multiple regression analysis, maintenance management emerged as the most significant factor in predicting workers' performance, making a substantial contribution. Therefore, the study concludes that maintenance management plays a pivotal role in influencing workers' performance in the hotel industry. As a result, the study recommends that hotel management prioritizes preventive maintenance practices to reduce emergency maintenance and establish a sinking fund to address non-compliance with facility standards and health policies within hotels. These measures have the potential to enhance the overall performance and safety of workers, thereby contributing to the success and sustainability of the hotel industry.

Published: February 2024

Investments by firms ultimately benefit the nation through higher productivity and economic growth. The role of savings in investment and, therefore, in the development of a country cannot be exaggerated. In developing countries like Kenya, most of the savings are done by households. High savings can also hedge countries against economic downturns and financial crises. One of the avenues to boost national savings is by encouraging individuals to increase personal savings. In this study, the behavior of women savings in Voluntary Saving Groups, which are self-help women groups in Kisii county, was examined. The purpose of this study was to find out whether the level of education can influence savings mobilization among self-help women groups in Kisii County for economic growth in Kenya. The study was guided by psychological and sociological theories, which propose that an individual's changes in resources over time and the influence of education, among other factors, have an influence on savings. The study will be beneficial to groups on savings as well as policymakers who come up with regulations concerning savings through groups. The study used the descriptive survey design and the target population was 1,482 group members of the various self-help women groups in Kisii County, from which a sample of 165 was obtained. The study revealed that the level of education is a serious contributor to saving decisions among women in self-help groups, thereby influencing savings mobilization among themselves.

The study concluded that green advertising had a significant effect on consumer purchase behavior. The study recommended that companies should incorporate green messages and obtain recognized eco-label certifications to attract environmentally conscious consumers and gain a competitive edge.

Published: February 2024

La ansiedad es un problema que ha crecido en los últimos años entre la población adolescente, sobre todo a partir de la situación sanitaria que se vivió recientemente generado por la pandemia de covid-19. Además, la estabilidad afectiva y emocional en la etapa adolescente se ve amenazada por los conflictos de parentalización, los cuales están vinculados con la relación que existe entre los miembros que conforman una familia, en la que los roles se encuentran invertidos y son los hijos los que asumen el papel de padres. El presente trabajo es un estudio de caso único cuyo objetivo fue implementar y evaluar una intervención psicológica que permitiera comprender el modo en que funciona la terapia integrativa en la elaboración de los conflictos de parentalización que aumentan los niveles de ansiedad. El proceso psicoterapéutico se llevó a cabo en cuarenta sesiones divididas en tres fases: diagnóstico, intervención y cierre. Al finalizar la intervención se observaron avances significativos en el manejo de la ansiedad. De igual forma, la paciente logró mejorar en sus relaciones interpersonales y familiares en virtud de que aprendió a poner límites que, a su vez, disminuyeron el conflicto de la parentalización.

Published: February 2024

El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar la relación que existe entre la adicción a Instagram y la consciencia del cuerpo objetivizado. La muestra se compuso por 248 participantes mexicanos (68% mujeres), todos ellos usuarios de dicha red social, cuyas edades tuvieron un rango de 18 a 24 años, con promedio de 21 años. La metodología utilizada fue cuantitativa y correlacional, y accediendo los participantes a participar voluntariamente. Los encuestados mostraron una adicción a Instagram ligeramente por arriba de la mediana, la cual correlacionó positivamente y de forma estadísticamente significativa con el factor 1 de la Escala de Autocosificación (Autovigilancia) y negativamente con el factor 2 (Vergüenza Corporal). Los resultados muestran que la apariencia física no está relacionada significativamente con el uso de Instagram y que, por el contrario, se pone en evidencia una menor vergüenza corporal al hacer uso de esta red social. Dentro de los alcances de esta investigación se halló que el uso de Instagram puede traer consigo efectos ventajosos y desventajosos ya que puede funcionar como un facilitador del apoyo social y un espacio para fortalecer el autoconcepto, pero también aumenta la posibilidad de autoexplotarse. Por otro lado, se distingue la relevancia de sensibilizar a la población acerca del uso moderado y regulado de dicha red social.

Published: February 2024

El estudio de las variables psicosociales positivas se presenta como un ámbito de creciente interés, especialmente en el ámbito social, ya que podrían ser relevantes a la hora de comprender el desempeño de estos/as trabajadores/as en contextos laborales donde muchas veces se presentan factores psicosociales desfavorables que pueden afectar negativamente tanto al bienes­tar o a la salud del trabajador, como al desarro­llo del trabajo. Este trabajo se centra en entidades “pro-migrantes” en España, pues resultan de especial interés para el estudio de las condiciones de trabajo por las particularidades que presentan dentro del ámbito de intervención, y específicamente se analiza la pasión por el trabajo y el empowerment estructural sobre una muestra de 171 trabajadores/as de este tipo de entidades (de un panel más amplio formado por 687 profesionales a nivel nacional). Los resultados muestran puntuaciones altas tanto en pasión armoniosa como en el acceso a oportunidades, con una puntuación medio-baja para la pasión obsesiva, y puntuaciones medio-altas para el empowerment estructural en su conjunto y sus componentes de información, apoyo y recursos, siendo el acceso a éstos últimos el valor más bajo, pero dentro de los valores medio-altos.
