Authors: Kihiu Rosemary , Kaluyu Veronica 
Published: July 2024

The purpose of the study was to explore the relationship between knowledge acquisition processes and transient competitive advantage among International Non-Governmental Organizations (INGOS) in Kenya. The study was driven by positivism philosophy and used a descriptive correlational research design. A sample of 392 respondents, program leads and MEAL (Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning) or knowledge management leads was obtained using simple random sampling. Data was gathered using a questionnaire that was administered online using google forms. The questionnaire was pretested and found to be reliable since the overall Cronbach alpha was 0.7. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics (means, percentages, frequencies and standard deviations) and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS – SEM). The findings from the study indicated that knowledge acquisition processes have a significant and positive effect on transient competitive advantage among INGOs in Kenya (t = 18.171, p < 0.05) at 5% significance level. The recommendation from the study findings for INGOs is to enhance knowledge acquisition processes to enhance their positioning in order to exploit transient competitive opportunities fully through deliberating acquiring market knowledge from external sources such as clients and competitors, using internal knowledge proficiently and investing in research and development in order to feed into innovation
Knowledge Conversion Processes and Transient Competitive Advantage in International Non-Governmental Organizations in Kenya
Authors: Kihiu Rosemary , Kaluyu Veronica 
Published: July 2024

The current business and natural environment is characterized by turbulence resulting in an erosion of traditional competitive advantages. The resulting volatility has ushered in an era of temporary advantages collectively termed as transient competitive advantages. This study aimed to explore the relationship between knowledge conversion processes and transient competitive advantage among International Non-Governmental Organizations (INGOS) in Kenya. The study was driven by positivism philosophy and used a descriptive correlational research design. The target population was 1784 programs, MEAL (monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning) and knowledge management managers in INGOs registered with the NGO Coordination Board, from which a sample of 392 respondents was obtained using simple random sampling. To gather data, a standardized questionnaire was administered online using google forms. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics (means, percentages, frequencies and standard deviations) and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS – SEM). The findings from the study indicated that knowledge conversion processes have a significant and positive effect on transient competitive advantage among INGOs in Kenya (t = 13.088, p < 0.05). The recommendation from the study findings for INGOs to ensure that knowledge acquired is appropriately converted for use through putting in place measures that ensure it is continuously integrated with what is already known and it is validated by stakeholders involved in the operations of the organization.

The main objective of this study was to determine the influence of communication on performance of project within Non-Governmental Organizations in Mogadishu, Somalia. In this research, descriptive research design was used, and the target population was 78 managers and 390 senior employees in the 78 NGOs in Mogadishu. The study adopted a stratified random sampling technique, where a sample size of 216 respondents was selected using Yamane’s (1967) formula. Data was collected using questionnaire, and descriptive and inferential statistics were applied in the data analysis. The findings showed that managers and other higher-level staff are aware of the communication process. There was a written and well-articulated communication process. The managers can communicate effectively with employees. Communication within the NGO has an influence on organizational performance. The intercept between communication and performance of project becomes better by β = 0.821, p<0.01. This meant that when a single unit improves Communication, the project performance also significantly improves by 82.1%. Lastly, the study concluded that communication is very key for any seamless operations within the project deliverables. Further, communication is the key ingredient in effective project management as everything revolves around it from planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation which requires proper feedback mechanisms for a seamless operation. Finally, the study recommends adoption of a communication channel that facilitates proper feedback mechanism in order to prevent information loss on any item, whether it is a big or small ticket item.

Published: July 2024

The reaction of equimolar amounts of alkyltriphenylphosphonium bromides with 1-naphthalenesulfonic, 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonic, and sulfosalicylic acids in water leads to the formation of ionic alkyltriphenylphosphonium arenesulfonates [Ph3PR][OSO2Ar], R = CH2OMe, Ar = Naft-1 (I); R = CH=СHPPh3, Ar = C6H3(NO2)2-2,4 (II); R = (CH2)2Br (III), R = C6H11-cyclo (IV), Ar = C6H3(COOH-3)(OH-4). Structures of complexes I‒IV have been established by X-ray diffraction analysis. Complexes I–IV are air-stable transparent crystals, readily soluble in arenes, ethanol, chloroform, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, carbon tetrachloride, diethyl ether, and poorly soluble in water at room temperature. Phosphorus atoms in alkyltriphenylphosphonium cations I–IV have tetrahedral coordination, arenesulfonate anions have the usual geometry with a tetrahedral sulfur atom. Compound II crystallizes as a hydrate. The P–C bond lengths vary in the range 1.240(3)–1.827(3) Å, which is less than the sum of the covalent radii of partner atoms (1.83 Å). CPC bond angles vary within 103.77(9)°−112.80(12)°; S–C distances in sulfonate anions are 1.768(3)‒1.807(3) Å. The S–O bond lengths are close to each other and take the values 1.427(3)‒1.4710(17) Å. The bond angles OSO (111.56(10)°−115.74(18)°) are larger than the OSC angles (103.02(12)°−107.26(9)°). Cations and anions in complexes I‒IV are connected by short contacts of S=O∙∙∙Н(Рh) type [2.350‒2.717 Å] (the sum of Van der Waals partner atoms O···Н is 2.62 Å). In crystal II, short contacts of the N=O∙∙∙H(Ph) type [2.448–2.699 Å] are also observed. Crystal structures of I, III, IV contain CH∙∙∙π interactions (2.658‒2.898 Å). Moreover, the spatial structure of crystals II, III is formed with the participation of π–π interactions. (3.276‒3.359 Å).

Pengelola bandar udara yang ada di Indonesia yaitu PT. Angkasa Pura I (Persero). Bandar Udara Internasional Jenderal Ahmad Yani Semarang memiliki beberapa unit yang bertugas untuk memastikan agar bandara dapat beroperasional dengan baik. Salah satu unit yang ada di bandara tersebut yaitu Terminal Service Officer (TSO). Kendala yang sering terjadi saat unit TSO sedang melakukan pengawasan pada sisi darat (land side) adalah seringnya terjadi penumpukan flow penumpang, berseraknya trolley pada saat penumpang tiba di area keberangkatan dan kedatangan, pengguna layanan yang merokok tidak pada tempatnya, dan fasilitas yang tidak bekerja semestinya di Bandar Udara Internasional Jenderal Ahmad Yani Semarang. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian kualitatif yang pengambilan data penelitian bersumber dari petugas TSO yang bertugas mengawasi sisi darat (land side) area terminal penumpang. Sumber kedua berasal dari penggalian sumber data memalui wawancara secara semi terstruktur kepada narasumber Supervisor unit Terminal Service Officer dan petugas unit Terminal Service Officer. Selain itu, data dalam penelitian ini dilengkapi dengan data observasi dan dokumentasi berupa pengambilan gambar yang bertujuan sebagai penguat data penelitian. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian maka diketahui pengawasan sisi land side oleh Terminal Service Officer (TSO) Sudah sesuai dengan indikator pengawasan adalah akurat, obyektif, koordinasi kerja, fleksibel dan realistis. Sedangkan untuk indikator tepat waktu dan pengawasan terpusat belum sesuai dengan indikator pengawasan dikarenakan kurangnya personel yang bertugas di lapangan. Dilihat dari jobdesk unit Terminal Service Officer (TSO) yang tertuang pada lembar SOP, unit TSO tidak dapat bergerak atau menyelesaikan permasalahan yang terjadi di lapangan dengan sendirinya, jobdesk unit TSO hanya sebatas memeriksa dan mengawasi, jika terdapat kendala di lapangan yang diluar dari jobdesk unit TSO, solusi yang dilakukan adalah dengan berkoordinasi dengan unit terkait.
How the Space-Time as A Field of Mass Reconciles Quantum and Classical Mechanics
Authors: Barbiero F. 
Published: July 2024

The invariance of the speed of light in RFs in relative motion between them is a clear indication of the nature of space-time. Lorenz's transformation equations were obtained by analysing the propagation of a single ray of light in a single direction and therefore are valid only for that single case. A set of general transformation equations can be obtained by analysing the propagation of an omnidirectional flash of light emitted by a source in motion with respect to a stationary observer. According to these equations, motion generates a spatial component normal to the velocity v and to the coordinates (x, y, z) of the source’s RF, displacing it into an “imaginary” fourth dimension for a value v/c, thus reducing its "density" by a ratio. The density of a RF plays a major role in the perception of physical reality. In fact, two observers in motion between them, watching the same phenomenon, would measure different spaces and times, same velocities, but different acceleration and therefore different forces acting on the same object. The transformation equations show that motion modifies only the RF, i.e the space-time, of objects, but as we cannot separate them from their space, they too are modified by a component transverse to the motion, and their “density” is also reduced. If the object is an electric charge, the transverse component of its field is identified with the magnetic field, which induces attractive or repulsive (or nil) forces only on other charges in motion, depending on the angle between their velocities. The same happens for the motion of a mass, with the fundamental difference that a rotating mass, in addition to a gravito-magnetic field, produces a transverse field which lines of flux are parallel to the axis of rotation, and therefore it propagates indefinitely, without attenuation, inside a cylinder with the same diameter of the mass. This field has a critical importance if we assume that the space-time is a field of the mass, coinciding with its gravitational field. The space-time of the Earth-bound observer would be made by the sum of the gravitational fields of the surrounding atomic masses, plus that of the transverse fields generated by the motion of those same masses; the main part of it would be produced by a sort of “ether” formed by “quanta” of space-time generated by the rotation around themselves of the atomic components of the whole universe. This would imply that the space-time at the atomic level is extremely "denser" than that at macroscopic level, therefore the Earth-bound observer would measure forces interacting amongst the atomic masses extremely higher than those calculated with Newton’s law. He will then be forced to postulate the existence of a mysterious agent, the electric charge, capable of developing those forces. With this assumption, instead, the atomic world would be populated only by masses subject, at their level, to gravitational and gravito-magnetic forces. It will become similar to the macroscopic world.

Published: July 2024

La Calidad de Vida Relacionada con la Salud (CVRS) es un constructo que refleja la valoración subjetiva que hace un individuo de diferentes aspectos relacionados con su desarrollo. En la adolescencia, este concepto está considerado como un indicador válido para contemplar el estado de salud de la persona ayudando a discriminar diferentes niveles de bienestar físico, psicológico y social. Las investigaciones señalan que la CVRS de la mayoría de los adolescentes1 españoles es alta, siendo más elevada entre los chicos que en las chicas. Son diversos los factores que se han señalado como condicionantes de la CVRS en la adolescencia en los últimos años (la práctica de actividad física, el consumo de drogas, el rendimiento académico, las relaciones sociales y familiares, etc.). Este trabajo analiza en qué medida el vínculo parental, la satisfacción con la vida en el colegio y algunos factores sociodemográficos como el sexo, la edad y el nivel de estudios de los padres, condicionan la percepción que la persona joven tiene de su calidad de vida. Se trata de un estudio transversal realizado con un total de 423 escolares de Educación Secundaria de la ciudad de Salamanca (España). Los resultados muestran diferencias en la CVRS según el sexo, la edad y el nivel de estudios de las y los progenitores y, además, se encuentran correlaciones significativas entre la CVRS y el vínculo del adolescente con el padre y con la madre y la satisfacción con la vida en el colegio. La mayoría de las y los adolescentes manifiestan tener una relación de cuidado/afecto alto con su padre y con su madre, aunque también perciben un nivel elevado de sobreprotección y control. Se propone trabajar en el ámbito escolar y familiar para mantener y/o mejorar la CVRS de los adolescentes por las repercusiones para su salud futura.
Analysis of External Debt and Real Economic Growth of Developing Economies: Nigeria’s Experience
Authors: O. S. Uwakaeme, 
Published: July 2024

Increase in external debt burden, together with its attendant risk, have become a global phenomenon, ravaging many developing economies, Nigeria inclusive. Global attempts by some economic scholars to validate the relationship between external debt and economic growth have also generated mixed results. Recently, there is an implicit belief by Nigerian public/stakeholders that her increasing level of external debt is adversely affecting her real economic growth (RGDP). This study therefore, empirically investigated the relationship between Nigeria’s RGDP and her external debt (EXD), adding external debt interest charges (EDIC) and nominal foreign exchange rate (NFXR) as control variables. The source of the study data is CBN and it spans for a period of 1980 to 2022. The study applied Co-integration technique, Error Correction Model (ECM) and Granger Causality tests for the econometric analysis. The empirical investigations confirmed that, in the longrun, the selected explanatory variables had significant adverse effect on Nigeria’s RGDP. The Granger Causality test showed that NFXR had unilateral relationship with RGDP, which implies that NFXR determines RGDP without a feedback, while EXD and EDIC established independent relationships with RGDP. The ECM coefficient (-0.154347) is significant and negatively signed. It measures the speed of the adjustment at which equilibrium is restored to RGDP, after the short-run disequilibrium in the selected explanatory variables. This implies that, in the longrun, Nigeria’s RGDP growth process, adjusts slowly to the variations in the selected time series, which indicates a Policy lag effect. The study, therefore, recommends effective and sustainable debt management and monitoring to ensure that borrowed funds are spent on productive projects. Government should seriously pursue effective Exchange Rate management. Finally, the Policy makers should design policies that would match the magnitude of the expected changes in order to counter the lag effect.
