Authors: Roman Alina , Rad Dana , Egerau Anca , Dixon Daniel , Dughi Tiberiu , Kelemen Gabriela , Balas Evelina , Rad Gavril 
Published: September 2020

In this study, physical self-schema referred to the perceived body image youths have over their physical appearance. There is a pool of research that links the perceived physical self-schema to perceived severity of online aggressiveness. This research suggests that the better the physical self-schema perception is, the least youth consider the severity of online aggressiveness towards peers. The project KYSFC was developed to provide an in-depth understanding of the interactions between different psychological aspects of cyberbullying in adolescents. Using a two item online questionnaire, the study analyzed the effect of physical self-schema acceptance on perceived severity of online aggressiveness in cyberbullying. Five hundred and seven students from Belgium, Spain, Romania, and Turkey participated in the survey. When mapping effects of physical self-schema acceptance on perceived negative effect of online aggressiveness, the curvilinear interaction model (2%) is more robust that the linear interaction model (0.8%), when both models are statistically significant.

Published: September 2020

The current coronavirus pandemic is frightening, as we see both our darker and brighter selves. Our darker selves are tempted to attack the great “other” – divisiveness, xenophobia, and blaming. But our brighter selves have a chance to construct a world that is more scientific, more rational, more humane, and more international. In this essay, we remain hopeful by exploring how a better society can emerge from the global pandemic and the role of higher education in that effort.
Canonizing the Drapaudis in Mahasweta Devi’s “Draupadi”
Authors: Basak Suresh Ranjan 
Published: September 2020

Draupadi, the classical heroine of the Mahabharata, in an unavoidable way, forms the praxis of reference, comparison, and contrast with Mahasweta Devi’s tribal heroine Draupadi. As part of the collective mytho-cultural memory, the ancient lady invokes a process of analogy, and “deconstruction,” to use Spivak’s phrase, as does Mahasweta Devi’s Santal Draupadi against the backdrop of the West Bengal government’s anti-Naxalite campaigns and military operations in the late 1960s and early 1970s (383). This article will initially examine the comparative and contrastive aspects of the two Drapaudis, then attend to Spivak’s notion of complementariness of the latter Draupadi—her being “at once a palimpsest and a contradiction” (388). Finally, it will reach the conclusion that Veda Vaysa’s Draupadi remains a canon like the epic itself while Mahasweta Devi’s unorthodox Draupadi, despite growing under the overpowering shadow of the earlier, canonizes herself in a prototypal way simultaneously recognizing her classical namesake.

This narrative inquiry highlights the experiences of self-identified Soka educators in a PreK-12th grade school in São Paulo, Brazil, as well as volunteers through a program called “Soka Education in Action.” Through their narratives, the role of care in value-creating education is explored as a critical aspect of education that supports students’ academic and personal growth and development, as well as educators’ professional identity and self-actualization. This study clarifies the essential qualities of Soka educators as understood and articulated by practitioners in the field. The narratives shared by study participants illuminate Soka education as a catalyst that fosters global citizenship by encouraging students to recognize their roles as agents of societal change and instruments of social justice.
Dignity, Community and Albinism in Malawi
Authors: Nyirenda Vitumbiko 
Published: September 2020

Thaddeus Metz, “African conceptions of human dignity” (2012), presents an African conception of dignity that he relates to human rights. In this paper, while ignoring Metz’s discussion on human rights, I specifically look at how this conception can be applied to one of the problematic moral issues, killing of persons with albinism. That is, how Metz’s view would account for exclusion and wrongness of killing of persons with albinism. I argue that the killing of persons with albinism is acting in violation of their dignity. This comes from the view that persons with Albinism are human beings with a dignity, and therefore ought not to be killed. I offer a discussion on how dignity as capacity for community based on shared identity and good-will is not reflected in the way persons with albinism are treated in Malawi.
Effects of Credit Appraisal Methods on Non-Performing Loans in Government Owned Financial Institutions, A Case of Kenya Commercial Bank Limited
Authors: Githama John Njenga , Gachanja Paul 
Published: September 2020

Financial institutions have in the recent past become a major player in the Kenyan economy. Consequently, for the institutions to sustain viable credit programmes, the criteria for assessing credit risk are essential so as to minimize the loan default. There are various known methods and tools which can be employed by credit offices to ensure that they lend quality loan. These methods try to establish the creditworthiness of the potential borrower. Quality loans means good returns to the business since there is less provisions for bad debt in the books of the lending institution. One of the criteria for establishing the creditworthiness of a borrower is the C’s of credit model. These are initials for;-character, capacity , capital, collateral , common sense, contribution and conditions The C’s of credit refers to the borrower’s specific attributes which, if well used can help the lender arrive at a better decision of whether to lend or not to lend, the amount to lend and possibly the period to allow. Lending institutions, however, have continued to record non-performing loans, despite there being elaborate known methods to aid in credit appraisal. The objectives of this study were to establish the factors that have contributed to non performing loans in financial institutions, whether the appraising persons are well versed on C’s of credit and challenges affecting appraising persons during the appraising process. To arrive at reliable findings, the researcher engaged respondents from selected financial institutions who were supplied with questionnaires in order to collect the sought data. The researcher employed descriptive research design which entails distributing questionnaires to respondents. The respondents were sampled from twenty financial institutions where respondents were chosen randomly. The target population in this case was credit officers irrespective of their cadres. For ease of collection of data, the study was located in Nairobi County where most financial institutions are based. The data so collected was coded to facilitate analysis. The researcher employed both descriptive and inferential statistics to analyze the data. The researcher further employed the credit scoring model which uses data on observed borrower characteristics, either to calculate the probability of default or to sort out borrowers into different default risk classes.

Authors: Silverio Néstor , Benavides Muñoz Holger 
Published: September 2020

Las pérdidas de carga hidráulica en accesorios son importantes al momento de diseñar sistemas hidrosanitarios para estimar la presión de servicio que se tendrá en ciertos puntos de demanda. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar las pérdidas de carga hidráulica en los accesorios más frecuentemente utilizados en sistemas de abastecimiento hidráulico domiciliar, mediante la creación de un banco hidráulico de pruebas con diferentes diámetros de tuberías y accesorios en material PVC. A través de una bomba centrifuga el agua se impulsó con presión y caudal determinados y mediante un datalogger se registraron las presiones antes y después de cada elemento instalado que fue analizado. Además, se utilizó un banco hidráulico calibrado de marca ARMFIELDC6–MKII–10 para analizar las pérdidas de carga en accesorios, en donde se hizo circular el agua con diferentes caudales y presiones para obtener relaciones de caudal circulante con el factor de resistencia “k” obtenido. Con el banco hidráulico construido se determinó que el factor de resistencia “k” en cada ramal instalado varía en función del diámetro interno y caudal circulante de cada línea de tubería, teniendo como resultado que en los accesorios: Universal, Codo 90° y TEE son inversamente proporcionales a su diámetro en cambio el accesorio de Unión es directamente proporcional a su diámetro, con el banco hidráulico ARMFIELD C6–MKII–10 el valor del coeficiente de resistencia “k” obtenido experimentalmente es inversamente proporcional al caudal circulante en todos los accesorios en caudales que van desde los 0,4 L/s hasta 1,3 L/s.
