Published: November 2022

This research was conducted in Makassar City which wanted to see the extent of community participation carried out by the Makassar City Government. Community empowerment where the locus is in the slums, smelly and less attractive to look at. This situation became better after being touched with the Lorong Garden Program (Lorong). Of the 14 sub-districts in Makassar City, many of which were previously slums, now it looks much better than after being touched by the Lorong Garden Program. Because the benefits are very good, the community is able to empower themselves without any more intervention from the government. The impact of this program is felt directly by the community because every day mothers can reap the results where part of it for consumption can partly be sold as household income. There is no problem with marketing because the pagandeng (sellers with ontel bicycles) come directly to the aisles to buy them and then they resell them.
Nigeria’s Vulnerability to Global Oil Dynamics and Politics
Authors: Musa Basiru
Published: November 2022

The paper analysed global oil dynamics and politics and their implications for Nigeria’s development. It adopted systems theory as its theoretical framework and employed the qualitative method as its methodology, in which face-to-face interview was used in obtaining primary data from relevant respondents alongside secondary data from relevant academic works. The paper found out that Nigeria has been negatively affected by the changing dynamics of international petroleum politics, particularly by the fall in global oil prices, as Nigeria depends heavily on oil earnings to meet its budgetary provisions for national development. This is further compounded by mismanagement of the accrued oil wealth before the collapse of oil prices and increased geopolitical tension. Nigeria should without further delay, diversify its economy away from oil to other viable and less volatile sectors, such as agriculture and solid minerals, manufacturing, Information and Communications Technology (ICT), aviation services and so on, alongside the strengthening of its bargaining power in global petroleum politics, particularly in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), availing itself of the advantage of its leadership position in OPEC and the political leverage it has as a strategic actor in international oil politics.

Authors: Ngoveni Tinyiko David
Published: November 2022

Crime is explained as an activity that is among the most difficult of the many challenges facing the South African Criminal Justice System (CJS) in the post-apartheid era. This study offer systematic review on the evolutions of Community Policing Forums (CPFs), as a supplementary tool of crime prevention, while adopting the qualitative research approach, supported by the non-empirical research design: Systematic review, focusing on available reports on this subject, confined to South Africa, and other Two (02) international countries, namely: Namibia and Tanzania, both used as case studies, demarcated from 1994-2021 (Not in sequence). The descriptive and interpretative Textual Content Analysis (TCA) were employed for data analysis to offer supports to the presented discussions. This study found that the existing South African policies, regulations and legislative frameworks, are in place to assist in dealing with the establishment and implementation of ‘community policing and CPFs’ as philosophies to promote collaborations and effective relationships between the local South African Police Service (SAPS) and community members. This is done as a supplement for crime prevention initiatives as supported by the United Nations (UN) and adhere to the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa objectives, under Section 205(3). Negatively, the idea of enhancing community safety through interaction between SAPS and CPFs to accomplish crime prevention is currently regarded legitimate mechanism that is not applicable in South Africa only, but to other countries, such as Namibia and Tanzania in this regard. For recommendations, in South Africa, the evolution of CPFs in collaboration with the local SAPS to achieve crime prevention can play pivotal roles in fighting various crimes and also act as deterrent to crimes causation within South African communities, thus, the establishment and implementations should be based on the confinement of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 and SAPS Act (No. 68 of 1995) requirements, as noticed in countries, such as Namibia and Tanzania policing systems.

Published: November 2022

Turkic–speaking peoples are among the most numerous peoples of the globe. A significant part of them have lived in Asia and Europe since ancient times. The Turks make up 90% of the inhabitants of modern Turkey, and in the territory of the former USSR there are about 50 million of them, which is the second largest group of the population after the Slavic peoples. The Turkic world is the birthplace of the very first and powerful cultures and civilizations, which subsequently had a significant impact on the entire course of world history, since throughout their history the Turks have been a connecting bridge between East and West. Many modern historians objectively note the role of the Turkic world in the history of human civilization as an important and positive factor in the development of progress and the preservation of peace.
Understanding the Grand Challenges of South African Police Women: Can Relevant Policy Measures Ease This Burden?
Authors: Khosa Dee
Published: November 2022

The population composition in South African total citizens displays that more than 50 percent are Females. In contrary, confusion arises when job opportunities and available vacant posts are not distributed equally with the Male. Thus, the objective of this study was to offer understandings of grand challenges of South African Police Women across South Africa, aided by this hanging question: Can relevant policy measures ease this burden? This qualitative study employed the Scoping Review research design. The non-probability: Purposive sampling was used. The collected data was restricted to 1990-2021. The inductive Textual Content Analysis (TCA) was applied for data analysis. Results indicate that there is an absence of effective policy and regulation that can boost the status of Females in the Police services or Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs). This is selectively attributed to stereotypical outlook of Male population and resistance to contemporary changes. Moreover, the existence of numerous policies, including ‘laws, rules and regulations,’implementations seem distant,further fueled by limited inspections and audits, which continues to deprive Females fair competitiveness with Males across many aspects. It is recommended that implementations of available polices to address challenges faced by Females in different societal sectors should be made an urgent priority. Males should also subject Females to impartial, fair treatment and tolerance. The complexity of SAPS should not be gender-based.
Juridical Analysis of the Application of Chemical Castration Penalties to Sexual Crimes Against Children
Authors: Purnomo Nur Aulia Adhyaksari , Nurjaya I Nyoman , Sulistio Faizin
Published: November 2022

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the application of chemical castration to perpetrators of sexual crimes against children. The practice of chemical castration falls outside the main criminal scope and does not fall under its jurisdiction. Therefore, chemical castration becomes an additional punishment for perpetrators of sexual offenses against children. If examined further, the application of chemical castration is an additional crime that is revocation of certain rights to the defendant. The purpose of revocation of certain rights is not to eliminate the honor of the perpetrator, but to prevent the perpetrator from committing the same crime in the future. The rights that are reduced from chemical castration are reproductive rights and rights related to the sexual activity of the perpetrator. In connection to chemical castration, which is designated as an additional criminal offense, the use of chemical castration cannot stand independently. Chemical castration can be carried out after the perpetrators of sexual crimes against children have served the main criminal sentence. This is done in order to maintain the security and safety of the future generations of the nation, so the issue of the human rights of perpetrators of sexual crimes against children can be put aside.

Authors: Mselle Justine Martine , Phoya Sarah , Eliufoo Harriet
Published: November 2022

Practice-based learning (PBL) pathways is considered to be predominant approach for craftsmen learning and acquisition of knowledge and skills in many other developing countries, Tanzania inclusive. The skills and knowledge acquired through this pathway is accepted by both employers and educational stakeholders. However, the workplace context where learning learning and skills is acquired differ across the construction sector due to unique nature of the construction projects, something that can potentially influence the learning and learning trajectory of the learner across similar or different trades. Nonetheless, there exists a contraversy on how different learning and learning trajectories are influenced by different working context of the learning across different sectors. Based on the interview to the selected experienced craftsmen from construction sector, this study critically examined the craftsman learning experiences across the learning trajectories during work practices. A total of 19 experienced craftsmen were purposively sampled and interviewed. The results revealed three phases of craftsmanship trajectories, namely: belongingness to a craftsmanship, identity formation and immersion into occupation. The learning trajectory also differ between craftsmen in similar trades but with different learning workplace environment such as formal and informal construction sectors. However, irrespective of the experience craftsmen from this approach remain largely semi-skilled with high practical skills and limited theoretical and generic skills. It is recommended that there should be policy intervention in order to address the weakness inherent in this approach so that it can be an alternative to formal schooling.

DOS PRIMORDIOS DA REVOLUÇÃO INDUSTRIAL A INDÚSTRIA 4.0
Authors: Pereira de Carvalho Isabella , Gomes de Carvalho Clecilene
Published: November 2022

Falando de Brasil, a Revolução industrial se deu desde o inicio da exploração Lusitana. O marco foi a troca pela energia de trabalho motriz do homem pela energia das máquinas. As transformações no Brasil ocorrem de forma lenta, pois o custo para alcançar a indústria 4.0 é alto. A produção Brasileira era modesta, em relação à norte–americana.  A maioria dos povos que alcançaram, nos tempos contemporâneos, elevado grau de enriquecimento, devem-no, em vasta parte, a determinismos de ordem geológica e geográfica. A Revolução Industrial não se trata apenas de uma alteração no modo de realizar o trabalho, dos instrumentos e do regime de produção, mas também, sobretudo, mudanças sociais na humanidade. Para muitos, como Karl Marx, Maurice Dobb, Michel Beaud e Eric Hobsbawm, as transformações sociais foram as mais sérias consequências da Revolução Industrial, alteraram a modo de viver da população do mundo. Estas transformações ligadas à Revolução Industrial ficaram concentradas nas mãos de poucos, principalmente nas dos grandes proprietários, comerciantes e setores pequenos da classe média.  O restante da população, a grande maioria, passou a sobreviver em condições de miséria. Portanto, o objetivo geral deste trabalho de revisão bibliográfica é pesquisar os motivos da Revolução industrial e suas consequências, bem como sua trajetória rumo à indústria 4.0.
Students’ conceptualizations of monolingual Swedish-language spaces and bilingual practices at a bilingual university in Finland
Authors: From Tuuli , Zilliacus Harriet , Holm Gunilla
Published: November 2022

This paper aims to analyze students’ discourses on language policies and practices in a Swedish-medium study program at the largest bilingual university in Finland. In educational discourse and practice in Finland, the position of Swedish as a de facto minority language has traditionally been understood as secured through institutional language separation. While the declared language policies at the University of Helsinki have witnessed a shift towards the simultaneous use of multiple languages, the structure of the study programs still reflect a policy of parallel monolingualisms (Heller, 2007). By analyzing student interviews using a spatially informed framework, we look at how the students in a Swedish-medium study program negotiate the meaning of the program as a linguistic space and how bilingual policies and practices appear to them in this construct. Our findings show that the familiar discourses of language separation in minority language educational contexts also circulated in higher education: monolingual Swedish-medium programs were seen as “svenska rum” (Swedish rooms or spaces), material and social markers of the status of Swedish at the university and guaranteeing the access to education in the other national language. However, bilingual policies and teaching practices were seen as necessary to deconstruct linguistic and social borders between students in different programs in order to prevent alienation and to improve language skills. Nevertheless, the existing bilingual courses were oftentimes experienced as marginalizing the users of Swedish and careful planning was pointed out as crucial in implementing successful bilingual and multilingual practices in higher education.

Nababidhan Brahmoism in Cooch Behar Native State: beginning, development, and decline (the 1880s to 1950s)
Authors: Paul Ratna
Published: November 2022

The Bengal Renaissance in the first half of the 19th century led to the beginning of the Brahmo reform movement, started by Raja Rammohan Roy based on the concepts of monotheism and ethical precepts. Debendranath Tagore and Keshab Chandra Sen carried out reform activities but differences grew among them which led to the schism of the Brahmo Samaj- Adi Brahmo Samaj and Brahmo Samaj of India. Furthermore, the marriage controversy between the daughter of Keshab Chandra Sen, Sunity Devi, and Maharaja of Cooch Behar, Nripendra Narayan led to the second schism of Brahmoism. Those who objected to the marriage formed the Sadharan Brahmo Samaj and Keshab Chandra and his followers formed Nababidhan Brahmo Samaj. Nripendra Narayan declared himself a Brahmo and contributed a lot to modernizing Cooch Behar. Sunity Devi played a vital role in spreading the Nababidhan faith and the all-around development of this native State. Gajendra Narayan and Sabitri Devi also took the leading role in propagating Brahmoism. This reform movement in Cooch Behar resulted in the significant aesthetic, social and religious development of the State. But due to the gradual revival of Hindu culture and practices in the royal family after the death of Nripendra Narayan, Brahmoism lost its influence. Only the people of the upper strata of the society were influenced by the ideology of the Brahmoism, ordinary masses remained outside the orbit of the movement. But it is also true that modern Cooch Behar owes much of its modernization due to the Brahmo reform movement.

We identified many archaeological localities as a result of the intensive archaeological surveys in and around Kamaz Valley (Atakum/Samsun). We reached conclusions regarding prehistoric periods in Dombalaktepe, Gucuktepe, and Kümbettepe settlement mounds. The existence of original culture in the coastal part of the Samsun Region is one of the question marks in our research, and the dates when the settlement started and what kind of process it underwent was our other question. The response from a small number of settlement mounds and a limited number of surface finds has led us to ask new questions and discuss the available data with temporary suggestions. Accordingly, based on its current appearance, the area, which is not rich in raw materials, appears to be the land of a transhumance community, which prefers a farmer/gatherer lifestyle and makes livestock and hunting. A small number of chipped stone finds confirm this. Its potteries, on the other hand, are a little more complex; Dark Faced Burnished/Unburnished Ware, which includes red-black groups, makes up the dominant majority. White paint ornaments on black face ware, called "White-Painted Pottery", whose traditional origins and development we have seen in the Aegean and Western Anatolia, offer relatively more custom comparisons. Other than these, examples with chaff-face pottery and impressed pot base reflect traditions that refer to early times. Compared to Ware groups, vessel forms are harder to characterize. Yet we have indirect evidence to look for all this chronologically in the LC and beginning of EBA period.

The purpose of this study is to determine teachers' perceptions of gamification approach in education through metaphors. The study group of the research consists of 60 teachers who received "Gamification in Education" training under the Sakarya Provincial Directorate of National Education using the purposive sampling method. In order to collect data in the research, a "metaphor form" was prepared. In metaphor form, teachers said “It is like gamification; because…” were asked to complete the sentence. "Content analysis" method was used in the analysis of the data. The main problem of the research is, which metaphors do teachers use to describe the concept of gamification in education? According to the results of the research, 42 valid metaphors created by the teachers were grouped under 7 categories. Teachers' approach to gamification in education; It has been determined that they perceive it as an inclusive and entertaining approach that reflects real life, increases motivation, facilitates learning, increases imagination and creativity, reaches every child. The metaphors revealed as a result of the research can be used in terms of defining the gamification approach, facilitating its comprehensibility, and creating a rich content in revealing its difference from children's games.
Assessment of Surface Quality in Extrusion Honing Process Using Dimensional Analysis Approach

It is critical to obtain the desired surface quality on the internal and external portions of machined part. The estimated level of surface texture can be induced on the exterior regions using traditional finishing processes such as grinding, honing, and so on. While the problem emerges when processing core miniature components such as micro bores, inlet/outlet valves etc. The EH process overcomes this limitation of conventional finishing method. It is a novel micro machining process that extrudes the pressured flow of carrier media blended with abrasives into the confined passage to generate desired level of surface texture. Owing to abrasion process micro machining occurs by taking away the negligible amount of stock material. The present study focuses on the impact of number of passes at the specimen’s entry and exit sides of the carrier media. The improvements in surface finish (Ra) on both side i.e., entry and exit are evaluated as well. A dimensionless expression for Ra is also developed. The relationship is implemented using Buckingham’s π theorem and comparison of developed model is performed with experimental results. SEM analysis is made to portray surface texture produced by selected process parameters such as number of passes, volume fraction and grit size of abrasive grains.
Challenges of South Asian and Chinese International Students: Becoming Anchored in Networks of Support

When coming to Canada to pursue post-secondary education, international students experience academic, financial, employment, and social and emotional challenges. Drawing on social network studies and studies of social anchoring, twenty-three in-depth interviews with South Asian and Chinese international students reveal the ways they navigate these issues in their post-secondary school environments. We find that international students work hard to establish social networks by making new connections at school, and students turn to their institutional networks for assistance. However, institutional networks alone are inadequate, and international students must also find support and advice through their family and community networks. We conclude that having strong institutional, family, and community networks are crucial to the social anchoring of international students in Canadian society. Social networks mitigate the challenges that international students encounter as they build their futures through post-secondary education.
“Sitting with myself by myself”: Indian students in Canada during the pandemic

Published: November 2022

The number of international students from India in Canada has increased rapidly in the last five years. Students from India now comprise 34 percent of Canada’s international students. This article places the remarkable growth of Indian international students within the broader context of Canada’s internationalization of higher education. Drawing from a national survey, qualitative interviews, and secondary data, it examines the changing profile of Indian international students and the major trends and challenges experienced by Indian international students in Canada  during COVID-19. The paper identifies a recent trend of “vocationalization” of Indian international students and several associated vulnerabilities due to the increasing commercialization of international education. Our findings also point to the complex intersections of psychosocial, academic, and economic disruptions during the pandemic, exacerbating the precarious position of Indian international students.
Expériences d’étudiantes et étudiants internationaux chinois dans les universités avant et pendant la COVID-19 : frontières et racisme ordinaire vis-à-vis une « majorité fragile » québécoise

Cette étude qualitative documente les expériences vécues à l’université dans des universités francophones à Montréal par des étudiantes et étudiants internationaux chinois. Les résultats révèlent que ces étudiantes et étudiants doivent gérer non seulement du racisme lié à la pandémie dans l’espace urbain et, plus spécifiquement, dans les universités, mais aussi des frontières vis-à-vis du groupe majoritaire québécois francophone, des frontières s’articulant autour des marqueurs linguistiques, raciaux et ethnoculturels. L’analyse des données met également en exergue une tendance, pour ces étudiantes et étudiants, à minimiser leurs expériences de racisme ordinaire. Nous concluons avec des pistes encourageant l’autoréflexion chez les membres du groupe dominant francophone au sujet des frontières à l’université et ce, afin qu’ultimement des pratiques d’équité et de justice sociale soient déployées envers les étudiantes et étudiants internationaux fréquentant des universités montréalaises.
