Authors: Tuyisabe Jean Bosco , Silungwe Festo Richard , Mahoo Henry F. 
Published: December 2024

The physical status of irrigation structures holds immense importance in ensuring the efficient and sustainable management of water resources for agricultural purposes. This study aimed to assess the physical status of the Nyarubogo irrigation scheme structures, which has implications for the level of performance of this irrigation scheme. Specifically, the study assessed the effectiveness of the irrigation infrastructures in terms of intake efficiency, canal physical condition, and command area development. Cross sectional study design was employed, and units for the study were randomly selected to be included in this study. Observation method were used to characterize the physical condition of the Nyarubogo irrigation scheme while questionnaire survey were used to collect data on the implication of socioeconomic characteristics on the performance, and effectiveness of irrigation system. The collected data were fitted to the irrigation structures assessment approaches suggested by Bos, Zende and Nagarajan. Analysis of farmer’s responses was through Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (Version 27). This study evaluated the physical status of about 130 irrigation structures in Nyarubogo irrigation scheme. The structures included 7 division boxes, 73 water drops, 2 aqueducts, 42 turnouts, 4 bridges, and 2 Culverts. Overall, the scheme had an effectiveness of 63.8%, with culverts, bridges, and water drops presenting more than the average functional condition of 64.38%, 75.00%, and 100.00%, respectively. The intake efficiency during this study was found to be 67% accumulated from efficiencies of sediment level (20%), embankment (35%), and sluice gate (12%) based on their weightage percentage and rank scores. The overall canal condition was good and was quantified to 70%. The command area development was exhibiting subpar performance, registering a mere 32% effectiveness. Moreover, the study evaluated how farmers' socio-economic status influenced the inadequate maintenance of the Nyarubogo irrigation systems. It uncovered numerous elements contributing to this dilemma: there was limited engagement of women and youth in agricultural pursuits, low educational attainment, challenges surrounding land ownership (specifically, land tenure), the small size of land holdings per household and a notable absence of government incentives for maintenance efforts. These factors, however, when coupled with inadequate funds derived from water fees, significantly obstruct the proper care of these irrigation infrastructures. On the other hand, high runoff due to heavy rainfall was mentioned by the majority of farmers (20.7%) among the primary causes of poor maintenance of irrigation structures. Generally, the evaluation of the Nyarubogo irrigation system structures emphasizes the uneven levels of efficacy and challenges, highlighting the necessity of focused maintenance efforts and enhanced water management techniques.

This study examines the mediating role of new product performance in the relationship between service innovation and both financial and non-financial performance in selected banks in Ghana using the dynamic capability theory as the theoretical lens. The study employed a descriptive research design to frame the study’s methodology. The target population consisted of 159 commercial and community banks in Ghana. Utilizing a quantitative research approach, a structured questionnaire was used to gather data from 113 sampled respondents through purposive sampling, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the data and assess the proposed relationships. The results reveal that service innovation has a direct and positive impact on the financial performance of banks, with a b coefficient of 0.316, affirming its importance in enhancing profitability and market share. However, the relationship between service innovation and non-financial performance was negative. Despite this, new product performance emerged as a significant mediator, strengthening the positive impact of service innovation on financial performance, with a b coefficient of 0.245 and a t-statistic of 2.409. The mediation effect of new product performance on the relationship between service innovation and non-financial performance was also validated, indicating that while service innovation alone may negatively affect non-financial outcomes, introducing successful new products can mitigate this impact. These findings contribute to the understanding of how service innovation influences different aspects of organizational performance in the banking sector. The study offers practical insights for bank managers, emphasizing the need to focus on new product development to maximize service innovation's benefits.

Successful Strategies to Improve Access to Justice for Women Who Kill Their Abusers
Authors: Tyson Danielle , Naylor Bronwyn , Tarrant Stella 
Published: December 2024

This issue of the International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy has its origins in an inspiring and successful international workshop held at Deakin University Downtown in February 2023 (Successful Strategies for Improving Access to Justice for Women Who Kill Their Abusers). It is in this context that the international workshop drew together practitioners (practising lawyers, family violence experts, psych- experts) and researchers from a range of international jurisdictions (England, Scotland, New Zealand, Canada, United States, Germany and Australia) and disciplines (criminology, law, socio-legal studies, gender studies, Māori health and Indigenous studies and education), to share insights about their efforts to improve legal understandings of women’s experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV), their use of fatal force against an abusive partner and their self-defence claims.
Contributors to this special issue highlight, for example, the power of positive collaboration between academics, activists, lawyers, journalists and the women themselves. They identify strategies to challenge prosecutors’ decisions to prosecute Aboriginal women in the absence of evidence capable of disproving self-defence, and to identify key evidentiary checkpoints to enhance women’s access to self-defence and improve their chances of acquittal. They argue for the need to build the workforce and capacity of experts with frontline experience in IPV, emphasise the importance of understanding IPV through the lens of social entrapment, and propose targeted training to skill up practitioners to more effectively utilise the family violence evidence provisions available in some jurisdictions throughout the whole court process. Finally, they explore potential avenues for further reform drawing on successes and failures in advocacy and litigation across international jurisdictions.

Authors: Batool Iram , Mobeen Maha , Khalid Sumra 
Published: December 2024

Human capital has been considered as a major source of economic growth. It surely contributes to enhancing economic growth and development. Considering this, we have examined the key determinants of economic growth in nine developing economies. For this, the authors have used data from 2011 to 2020 from selected developing nations. In this research, GDP per capita is taken as the dependent variable. The random effect results highlight that industrialization and human capital lead to enhanced growth of economies. Moreover, the role of urbanization in promoting growth potential is also positive. Finally, foreign direct investment also seems to be increasing the economic growth in the concerned economies. The study findings recommend that these economies should focus more on free-of-cost higher education for boosting economic growth. There is also a need for a stable financial and political environment for attracting more industrialization and foreign direct investment.

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the association between the Braille learning method and the psychology of blind children.

Cases and Methods: The study was conducted at Um Alrabeaen Institution for blind and purblind people in June to July 2022. The depression scale was applied during a semi-structured interview with parents of blind children using the modified Hamilton scale, which consisted of eight items (sadness, laziness, suicide, psychological anxiety, other anxiety features, insomnia, confusion, and general body symptoms) using a three-Likert scale. The total sample size was 24, eight children as cases and 16 as controls. The inclusion criterion was blind children aged 8–13 years attending braille courses. The exclusion criterion was mentally retarded children.

Results: This study showed that 16 (66.7%) of the blind children complained of depression, feelings of helplessness, inability, listlessness, loss of interest and slow thinking, trouble sleeping, interrupted sleep, and physical anxiety, although these symptoms were more prevalent among the control group but not statistically significant. Depression was observed more frequently in males than in females (p = 0.003). Blind children suffering from trouble sleeping and interrupted sleep were commonly observed among the control group (14, 87.5%) with no difference between males and females. Depression and feelings of helplessness, inability, listlessness, loss of interest, and slow thinking were observed in 12 (75.0%) blind children. The least reported symptom was the child waking up earlier than usual and not being able to sleep again (10, 6.25%), with no difference between males and females.

Conclusion: Braille courses for blind children had a positive effect on their psychological aspects.
