Published: February 2025

Businesses that are based on financial technology (FinTech) are essential for advancing new ideas and technologies in the financial sector, sustainable development, and financial inclusion. This study uses machine learning-based social media analysis (SMA) to evaluate how open innovation and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are incorporated into public conversation on the social media platforms of FinTech companies. As a result, using empirical data from 32,716 tweets, we monitored the actions of 21 businesses. The findings revealed distinct discourses depending on the operations of FinTech companies. However, it was discovered that the only domains with a sermon pertaining to novelty and, to a slighter grade, the SDGs theme are financial infrastructure, lending, and personal finance. Since FinTech has often ignored the SDGs, knowledge of sustainable goals is still far from being a pertinent concern; yet, innovation and related concepts remain a recurring theme in this field. Additionally, indications of the open innovation paradigm's application and interest in new technologies are shown, along with the promotion of various social media players and events that operate as a showcase for businesses with a Twitter presence.
Role of Entrepreneurial Orientation on the Relationship between Electronic-Sourcing and Procurement Performance among Medium-Sized Enterprises in Kenya
Authors: Kosgei Rael , Bor Jones 
Published: February 2025

E-sourcing has significantly enhanced the overall effectiveness of supply chains that are enabled by the Internet. In light of the significant and rapid global changes that the supply chain industry is currently facing, as well as the dynamic and complex environment, it is imperative to investigate the impact of entrepreneurship on the supply chain industry to adapt and survive in the market. This is because an increasing number of medium-sized enterprises can provide innovative solutions to existing supply chain pain points, despite the existing global challenges. This paper investigates the moderating role of entrepreneurial orientation on the relationship between e-sourcing and procurement performance of medium-sized enterprises in Kenya. Explanatory research design was utilized. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data. The target population of the study was 3427 from which a sample of 358 respondents was sampled from registered medium firms in Nakuru County, Kenya. Data analysis was carried out using Inferential & descriptive statistical techniques. The findings revealed that e-sourcing (β = 0.150, p = 0.000, <0.05) had a positive and significant effect on procurement performance. In addition, the study established that Entrepreneurial Orientation does not moderate the relationship between electronic sourcing and procurement performance (β = 0.009, p = 0.714 >0.05). The results of this study can provide useful guidance for the management of medium-sized enterprises. E-procurement technology or platforms play a significant role in procurement performance. Prior studies have examined direct effect relationship between e-sourcing and procurement performance. However, this paper introduces the moderating effect of entrepreneurial orientation on the relationship between e-sourcing and procurement performance

Published: February 2025

O racismo estrutural tem sido pauta de muitos debates na sociedade contemporânea, buscando discutir a herança escravocrata que o país carrega em suas raízes. A escola enquanto ambiente social formativo, deve estar comprometida em reconhecer, repensar e discutir suas bases e práticas racistas a fim de diminuir os impactos negativos que recaem às crianças negras a curto, médio e longo prazos. O objetivo desse trabalho é ressaltar as consequências que o racismo assume no desenvolvimento sociopsicoemocional da criança negra, a partir do sistema educacional e examinar como a construção da identidade desse sujeito se altera mediante à sociedade racista na qual está inserido. O artigo apresenta uma discussão acerca do racismo pós-abolicionista e das práticas racistas escolares silenciosas do cotidiano brasileiro. A entrevista é o instrumento metodológico escolhido para a coleta de dados dessa pesquisa de teor qualitativo, buscando-se obter depoimentos reais de pessoas negras na fase adulta, a fim de refletir suas vivências escolares sobre o seu passado no período do ensino fundamental. Os resultados expõem as muitas marcas que a escola, enquanto uma instituição racista, deixou nos entrevistados. Assim como continua deixando em milhares de crianças/ gerações desde o final da escravidão.
Access and Inclusion through Flexible Learning: Re-Orienting Entrepreneurship Education
Authors: Rono Agnes J , Tarno Edwin , Tiony Abdi K 
Published: February 2025

One approach to enhancing entrepreneurial activity and enterprise growth in developing countries is to create an "enterprise culture." To achieve a widespread enterprise culture in the long run, education and training programs in Kenya and in other developing countries need to integrate business, technology, self-employment, and entrepreneurship into the curriculum on the youth of the country. Also, given the widely accepted notion that entrepreneurial ventures are the key to innovation, productivity, and effective competition, the question of whether entrepreneurship can be taught is obsolete. The teaming mass of unemployed youths in the country and the global economic crisis has increased the urgency for countries to identify new sources of growth and develop a sustainable path to economic success. This urgent need for reorientation calls for a revolution in the system of education that we run as a nation. This study used a qualitative approach using secondary data to examine how flexible learning can be applied in entrepreneurship education. This paper argues that flexible and open learning is the perspective the entrepreneurship educators should adopt to not only leverage on constant, flexible, and student-fit digital content and learning but also life-long availability of content for nascent and practicing entrepreneurs to learn and relearn relevant skills for creation, management, growth and innovation of competitive business ventures in a digital economy. Along with this, it recommends strong governmental commitment to information and communication technology (ICT) as one of several critical elements needed to help accelerate entrepreneurship and innovation. This paper also addresses both benefits and challenges to anticipate when using flexible learning in entrepreneurship education and training.

Tourism is an ever-growing service industry with great development potential. It has become one of the most important drivers of socio-economic development worldwide and has attracted interest for research. Many nations rely on tourism industry as a key source for foreign exchange, private sector growth, infrastructure development, and poverty alleviation in terms of employment opportunities and improvement of the welfare of the people in tourist destinations. According to United Nation World Tourism Organization, development agencies and policymakers are increasingly advocating tourism as an effective way to reduce poverty in least-developed countries. However, lack of proper marketing strategies is a challenge in many county governments, posing further challenge in tourism performance. The general objective of the study was to assess the effect of destination marketing on tourism performance in West Pokot County. Specifically, the study sought to establish the influence of awareness creation, developing new markets, advertising and branding on tourism performance in west Pokot County.

An Overview of Green Human Resource Management Practices in Kenya
Authors: Chemjor Edwin 
Published: February 2025

A number of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), if well implemented, will lead to green economies and societies. The workplace offers a first-hand ground for the implementation of green HRM practices supporting the attainment of green economies and societies. The desire of every organization to excel in business and achieve its long-term strategic goals cannot be underestimated. Nevertheless, there is need for organizations to balance between profits and the SDGs goals. Organizations are fast realizing that taking their environmental impact seriously is beneficial not just for the outer environment but also for their businesses. The objective of the study was to assess the extent green HRM practices applied in the work places; and to find out the influence of green practices on the management of human resources in selected institutions in Kenya. The study adopted desktop research design involving document analysis from selected practice sectors where studies on the practice of green human resource and sustainability have been undertaken. This involved document analysis of Ministry of Environment, Acts of Parliament, Kenya Green University Network (KGUN) and other institutions that underpin the extent of Green HRM practice implementation in Kenya. The platform of HRM, as the central function of any organization therefore, comes in handy towards the realization of both business desires and Sustainable Development Goals. A number of previous studies indicate that the focus on specific SDGs goals relevant to organizational contexts, have led to a reduction in costs, improved performance, enhanced job satisfaction, high retention levels and a more pleasant working environment. Greening Human Resource Management practices remain a new concept in Kenya because majority of organizations have not yet put it in practice despite the crucial effects it has on the quality of the work environment and service delivery. Although efforts to actualize it in public and private institutions are in place, such institutions have not realized their intentions. Owing to the few efforts observed on the appreciation of GHRM practice, there is need to lay more focus in the area and take advantage of the opportunities that come with it through training on and demystifying the practices.
Effective Methods for Community Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion in the Developing World: A Scoping Review
Authors: Nzioki Japeth Mativo , Korir Agnes 
Published: February 2025

World Health Organization data on the burden of disease shows that approximately 3.1% of deaths (1.7 million) and 3.7% (54.2 million) of disability-adjusted-life-years (DALYs) worldwide are attributable to unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene. In Africa and developing countries in South East Asia 4 - 8% of all disease burdens are attributable to poor hygiene and sanitation. Over 99.8% of all deaths in developing world are attributable to the same factors and 90% are deaths of children under five years. Studies have shown that more than 2 billion people lack access to adequate sanitation and hygiene and increased access to sanitation and better hygienic practices have significant positive health and other impacts. The aim of this study was to search, document and provide a synthesis of effective methods used in promoting hygiene and sanitation in communities across the developing world. This was a scoping review. A total of 42 evaluation surveys were reviewed. Data was collected from 8 out of 42 papers which met the inclusion criteria to be considered into the dataset. Results indicated that social mobilization and community participation methods which include; Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS), Participatory Hygiene and Sanitation Transformation (PHAST) are effective methods in promoting community hygiene and sanitation. Though Children's Hygiene and Sanitation Training (CHAST) and Sanitation marketing have been implemented to improve hygiene and sanitation, currently no evaluation studies have been conducted to evaluate effectiveness of these approaches. To achieve access to adequate sanitation and hygiene for all, and to end open defecation and reduce burden of diarrheal diseases by the year 2030 (Target 6.2 of the Sustainable Development Goals), governments and development agencies working in the developing world need to fast track adoption and scaling up of CLTS and PHAST. CHAST and sanitation marketing strategies should also be embraced because they are grounded on sound scientific principles and have potential to improve hygiene and sanitation. However, there is need to carry out evaluation surveys to measure their effectiveness in improving sanitation and hygiene in the developing world.
НАЦІОНАЛЬНА ІДЕЯ ЯК ОСНОВА ПОЛІТИЧНОЇ МІФОЛОГІЇ УКРАЇНИ
Authors: Ковалевська Тетяна 
Published: February 2025

У статті здійснено системний аналіз української національної ідеї як фундаментального чинника політичної міфології України. Досліджено концептуальні підходи до визначення національної ідеї, її структурні характеристики та функціональне значення в суспільно-політичних процесах. Визначено роль національної ідеї у формуванні колективної ідентичності, мобілізації суспільства, забезпеченні його консолідації в умовах внутрішніх трансформацій та зовнішніх викликів. Особливу увагу приділено механізмам міфологізації національної ідеї, її відображенню в політичній комунікації, ідеологічних конструктах, інформаційних кампаніях та цифровому просторі. Розглянуто вплив політичної міфотворчості на наративну структуру національної ідеї, її адаптацію до історичних і соціокультурних контекстів. Здійснено критичний аналіз класичних концепцій української національної ідеї, представлених у працях М. Драгоманова, Д. Донцова, В. Липинського, М. Грушевського, М. Міхновського, та сучасних досліджень цієї проблематики. Виокремлено основні підходи до визначення української національної ідеї, зокрема державницький, аксіологічний, консолідуючий та європоцентричний. Визначено, що ці підходи не є взаємовиключними, а, навпаки, взаємодоповнюють один одного, що зумовлює багатовекторний характер української національної ідеї. Окремий акцент зроблено на трансформації української національної ідеї в умовах війни з росією. Розглянуто процес її міфологізації як мобілізаційного чинника, що формує героїчні наративи, укріплює національну ідентичність і сприяє згуртуванню суспільства перед загрозами зовнішньої агресії. Зроблено висновок, що українська національна ідея є динамічним концептом, який адаптується до змінних історичних обставин, виконує інтеграційну та мобілізаційну функції та залишається ключовим елементом політичної міфології України. Перспективним напрямом подальших досліджень визначено розробку теоретичних засад універсальної моделі української національної ідеї, здатної забезпечити цілісність політичної нації та ефективно реагувати на виклики глобалізованого світу.
