Authors: Matafwali Marien , Rolls Douglas, W. , Msidi Nyawa 
Published: September 2024

This analysis, titled "Breaking the Silence: A Dichotomy of Child Sexual Abuse Prevalence and Protection Challenges in Zambia," examines the trends and challenges associated with child sexual abuse in Zambia from 2017 to 2023. The study aims to explore the prevalence of child sexual abuse over the specified period and evaluate the effectiveness of Zambia's legal framework in protecting children from such abuse. Utilising a qualitative research design, the methodology involved document analysis of Zambia Police Victim Support Unit reports and an assessment of the legal framework. Quantitative data were analysed using SPSS to identify trends and differences across pre-pandemic, pandemic, and post-pandemic periods, while qualitative content analysis was used to examine the legal context. The findings reveal fluctuating abuse rates, with notable increases in 2019 and persistently high levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. Gender disparities were observed, with girls disproportionately affected. The study highlights significant gaps in the legal framework, including inadequate protection for older adolescents and limited statutory definitions of abuse. Challenges such as cultural taboos, socio-economic issues, and legal inefficiencies continue to hinder effective child protection. The analysis stresses the need for enhanced reporting mechanisms and legal reforms to safeguard children better and address the complexities of child sexual abuse in Zambia.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0765/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Assessing the effect of motivation on employee retention in Zambian Microfinance Institutions, a case of EFC Zambia Financial Services
Authors: Saidi Loti 
Published: September 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the impact of motivation on employee retention, specifically focusing on the mediating role of perceived organizational support.
Methodology: The research was conducted at EFC Zambia Financial Services in Lusaka, Zambia, using primary data collected from the company's employees. A mixed-method research approach was adopted, combining both quantitative and qualitative data. A total of 109 employees participated in the study. Quantitative data were analyzed using statistical methods through SPSS, while qualitative insights were obtained via narrative analysis.
Findings: More than 50% of respondents identified several key factors contributing to retention challenges, including limited career development opportunities, inadequate skills training, insufficient compensation, poor work-life balance, and a lack of recognition. These issues were highlighted as major barriers to retaining employees at EFC Zambia. It found that employees recognized various initiatives that contributed to their motivation, such as engagement activities, recognition programs, perks, and reward packages. These programs were acknowledged as positive influences on employee motivation within the organization. The research revealed that a positive work environment plays a significant role in job satisfaction and retention. Supportive workplace conditions were found to be critical in maintaining employee engagement and encouraging long-term commitment to the organization.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Based on the findings, the study offers several recommendations. It suggests that EFC Zambia should implement comprehensive recognition and rewards programs to enhance employee motivation. Additionally, providing career development opportunities would foster growth and retention. Regular, constructive feedback for performance improvement is also recommended, as is the promotion of work-life balance initiatives to support employee well-being and reduce burnout. This structured approach is expected to improve both employee motivation and retention, ultimately contributing to the organization's overall success.
The Books of Haggai and Malachi
Authors: Verhoef Pieter A. 
Published: September 2024

This commentary by Pieter A. Verhoef offers a thorough exegesis and exposition of Haggai and Malachi - two important books of Scripture that, unfortunately, are little studied - and stresses the relevance of these prophets' messages in terms of continuity and discontinuity for the Christian church.
Verhoef's introduction to each book elucidates questions of authorship, style, text, structure, historical background, and message. Making extensive use of structural analysis, Verhoef argues convincingly for the authenticity, unity, and integrity of both books.
Verhoef also brings his knowledge of the ancient Near East, the Old Testament, and biblical scholarship to bear in the commentary proper, and he displays theological acumen and pastoral sensitivity in tailoring his exposition for the student and pastor as well as for the scholar.

Abstract. Supplements derived from plants are utilized to maintain and promote the growth efficiency of animals. The use of black pepper oil (BPO) has recently generated significant scientific interest, primarily because of its potential beneficial effects on both humans and animals. The goal of the current study was to determine how dietary BPO supplementation affected growth performance, characteristics of growing quails' immunity, antioxidant status, and carcass yield. A total of 240 growing quails (1 week old) were divided into five equal groups, each with 36 birds (four replicates of 12 each). A basal diet containing no BPO (0 g kg−1) was given to the first group, and the second, third, and fourth groups were given a diet that was supplemented with BPO (0.4, 0.8, 1.2, and 1.6 g kg−1, respectively). In comparison to a control group, quails' diets that were supplemented with 0.8 g BPO kg−1 showed improvements in final live body weight, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio of 10.68 %, 12.6 %, and 18.2 %, respectively. During the whole study period (1 to 5 weeks), quails fed diets with 0.8 g BPO consumed less feed than the other groups and control. Due to BPO treatment, there were no statistically significant changes in any of the carcass parameters. BPO-supplemented groups had significantly elevated plasma levels of albumin and globulin than control groups (P < 0.05), but the albumin/globulin ratio was reported to be significantly decreased (P < 0.05) in birds supplemented with diets containing BPO compared to the control group. When compared to the control, the liver enzyme activity (aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT)) in blood plasma was reported to be significantly increased in the quails given 0.4 and 0.8 g BPO kg−1. Glutathione and catalase activities were significantly higher in the group given diets supplemented with BPO (1.2 g kg−1) than they were in the control group. In comparison to the control, the supplementation of BPO in the diets of quail significantly enhanced (P < 0.05) the lipid profile in the plasma, moreover decreasing the caecal content pH (P < 0.05). In comparison to the control, the populations of lactobacilli, coliform, Salmonella spp., and Escherichia coli in the caecum significantly decreased in the BPO-supplemented groups (P < 0.05). In conclusion, dietary BPO supplementation in Japanese quails' diet can boost growth performance and antioxidant indices, enhance lipid profile and carcass traits, and reduce intestinal infections.

Entre la conversión digital (Doueihi, 2010) que impregna y redefine, casi de modo irreversible, la totalidad de nuestra vida cotidiana y la convergencia digital (Jenkins, 2008) de diversos lenguajes, se están transformando las prácticas de escritura en la historia escolar. ¿Qué se escribe en la historia como disciplina escolar? ¿Cómo conviven e interactúan las escrituras en soportes papel y digital? ¿En qué medida se están modificando las prácticas de escritura en la enseñanza de la Historia en las escuelas medias a partir de la cultura digital? Este artículo se propone responder a estas preguntas analizando datos de una investigación doctoral inscripta en los aportes teóricos provenientes de la historia cultural asociada a la cultura escolar y basada en una metodología cualitativa vinculada con el paradigma interpretativo que involucró un estudio de casos de seis profesores de escuelas medias de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. Encuestas, observaciones de clases y análisis de carpetas y producciones digitales evidencian el modo en que los y las profesores/as amplían los objetos y soportes de escritura y protagonizan prácticas híbridas, entre la cultura impresa y la digital. Hoy en la escuela se enseña más a leer que a escribir; en la escuela historia escolar también.

Published: September 2024

Research on cannabis and its bioactive derivatives, including cannabinoids, non-cannabinoids, and extracts, has significantly increased in recent years due to their potential therapeutic applications as demonstrated by numerous published studies. Although there is evidence of the potential efficacy of cannabinoid and non-cannabinoid compounds from cannabis in the treatment of various diseases and syndromes, further research is required to mitigate the potential damage that could result from the excessive use of cannabinoid products, particularly tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), such as psychotropic effects, addiction, cognitive deficits, cardiovascular problems, and impacts on mental health. This review describes phytochemical and biological studies on cannabis grown in Morocco, utilizing databases such as SciFinder, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Google Scholar, and PubMed to provide updated data on cannabis in Morocco. The findings of this research aim to enable investors, economic operators, researchers, and policymakers to better understand the current state of cannabis in Morocco, thereby promoting industry growth and cannabis-related innovation. Additionally, this paper includes a brief discussion on the legalization of cannabis in Morocco, highlighting the new opportunities for investment in medical cannabis. This study also underscores that much remains to be explored regarding Moroccan cannabis, from the isolation of bioactive compounds and pre-clinical studies to clinical trials and the mass production of approved cannabis-based medicines. Furthermore, the findings are intended to inform key stakeholders about the current state of cannabis in Morocco, fostering industry growth and innovation.

Published: September 2024

Introduction:
In this study, we reviewed proximal humeral fractures surgically treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) to test the null hypothesis that there is no association between fracture characteristics and surgeon characteristics in outcomes after surgical management of displaced proximal humeral fractures with ORIF.

Methods:
A retrospective review of surgically treated proximal humeral fractures was done at a tertiary-level hospital. The data were organized into two categories: fracture characteristics and surgeon characteristics.

Results:
There were 314 proximal humeral fractures treated with ORIF. In total, there were 112 failures (36%). Bivariate Pearson correlations demonstrated that the number of proximal humerus fixation surgeries performed by an individual surgeon was associated with adequate calcar reduction (r = 0.995, P < 0.001) and greater tuberosity reduction (r = 0.994, P < 0.001). Years of experience was positively associated with adequate calcar reduction (r = 0.594, P = 0.012) and greater tuberosity reduction (r = 0.589, P = 0.013). Regression analysis of two surgeons versus the rest of the cohort demonstrated significantly lower failure rates (P = 0.001).

Discussion:
Complex proximal humeral fractures (3-part and 4-part) have better calcar reduction and tuberosity reduction when treated by surgeons with greater volume of proximal humeral fracture surgery. Among surgeons with high volume, there may be individuals who have the unique ability to provide markedly better results.
Revisiting the Lee-Yang singularities in the four-dimensional Ising model: a tribute to the memory of Ralph Kenna
Authors: Ruiz-Lorenzo J. J. 
Published: September 2024

We have studied numerically the Lee-Yang singularities of the four dimensional Ising model at criticality, which is believed to be in the same universality class as the φ44 scalar field theory. We have focused in the numerical characterization of the logarithmic corrections to the scaling of the zeros of the partition function and its cumulative probability distribution, finding a very good agreement with the predictions of the renormalization group computation on the φ44 scalar field theory. To obtain these results, we have extended a previous study [R. Kenna, C. B. Lang, Nucl. Phys., 1993, B393, 461] in which there were computed numerically the first two zeros for L≤24 lattices, to the computation of the first four zeros for L≤64 lattices.
