Deadlines Meeting Challenge in Leaders
Authors: Taka Zvina 
Published: December 2023

Purpose: This paper looks at the concept of deadlines meeting challenges by leaders and how this problem affects performance and goal attainment in organizations. Deadlines may be defined as prescribed or expected timelines for task accomplishment and submission. It forms a framework within which a task or assignment should be performed so as to succeed in goal attainment. The paper focuses on why deadline meeting has become such a huge challenge to leaders in organizations and the challenges this problem poses to performance in work places.
Materials and Methods: It was assumed in this presentation that there seems to be no proper connectivity and meaningful engagement between those who make task deadlines and those who are expected to carry out tasks and meet deadlines.
Findings: The paper will then proceed to suggest best practices in dealing with deadlines so as to promote goal attainment.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: The paper concludes that lack of proper task accomplishment systems and implementation of best deadlines meeting practices are the major causes of failure to meet deadlines by most organizational leadership.
Effect of COVID-19 Pandemic on Labour Market Outcomes in Kenya
Authors: Sitati Melap , Ogolla Michael 
Published: December 2023

Purpose: This paper investigated the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on the labour market outcomes in Kenya, using quarterly labour force survey data (2019 to 2021), 2019 census data and COVID-19 wave II of a novel high-frequency phone survey collected from May 30th to June 6th, 2020. The study also estimated the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on unemployment rate by using the quarterly Labour Force Survey data from 2019 to 2022.
Methodology: The study applied probit models because of the non-linearity of the variables. More specifically, the dependent variables are binary terms, hence maximum likelihood estimation techniques are the most appropriate.
Findings: The findings of the study reveal that COVID-19 was associated with a 25-percentage point’s increase in the unemployment rate in the country with certain counties witnessing the highest spikes in unemployment. Although there has been some recovery, the unemployment rate remains elevated compared to pre-pandemic levels, signifying ongoing labour market challenges. COVID-19 impact on the labour market varied significantly by sector. The education sector experienced a higher incidence of employment loss, while income losses were more pronounced in sectors such as mining, manufacturing, retail, transport, and construction. Particularly, women workers in the retail and transport sectors faced twice the likelihood of income loss compared to their male counterparts. The pandemic disproportionately affected low-income workers and casual labourers, accentuating income inequalities in the labour market. Casual workers, who often lack labour protections and benefits, were significantly impacted.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Considering these findings, the study provides several policy recommendations: Implementing targeted interventions and support programs in counties with the highest unemployment spikes. These interventions can include skill development programs to enhance workers' employability and tailored employment and income support strategies adapted to each county's unique economic circumstances. Prioritize the adoption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to enhance resilience and adaptability across sectors. Governments, both at the national and county levels, should prioritize policies aimed at enhancing the incomes of disadvantaged households. Through expanding access to social protection programs, enforcing minimum wage regulations, and improving working conditions, especially for casual workers and low-income households. The study's insights provide valuable guidance for shaping future economic recovery strategies, particularly in the event of economic shocks in the labour market.

Due to the use of probiotics in animal husbandry has recently increased, the selection of high-quality probiotic strains is crucial. Since the uses of probiotics for animal feed supplements have to be applied at high doses of bacteria to be effective, the cultures’ safety is essential. This study successfully isolated the novel Lactobacillus sp. from swine fecal samples and identified it as L. plantarum TSUB-17. The L. plantarum TSUB-17 exhibited excellent probiotic properties, including 100 % resistance to 3 % acids and 1 % bile salts, and effectively inhibits pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Salmonella Typhimurium (isolated ESBL strain). L. plantarum TSUB-17 was also found to adhere to the intestinal wall and form a biofilm. Furthermore, the bacteria have revealed some unique properties of GABA production and detected the glutamate decarboxylase B (gadB) gene similar to L. brevis both in nucleotide sequence and secondary structure of the glutamate decarboxylase enzyme that was deduced from the nucleotide. The isolated bacteria also have antioxidant activity, and most importantly, the isolated strain was safe; it is non-hemolysis and susceptible to the tested antimicrobials. Therefore, L. plantarum TSUB-17 is suitable for further development as a probiotic additive in animal feed.
HIGHLIGHTS

This study successfully isolated Lactobacillus plantarum TSUB-17 with a high potential to develop as a probiotic for animals. The isolated bacterium has excellent properties: It tolerates high levels of acids and bile salts. It is effective against many pathogenic bacteria, produces gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and shows high levels of antioxidant activity. Moreover, L. plantarum TSUB-17 is very safe due to its non-hemolytic strain and susceptibility to numerous antimicrobial drugs.

Violência policial, racismo e autodefesa
Authors: Acioly Dimitri Alexandre Bezerra , Cozza Sayão Sandro 
Published: December 2023

A brutalidade da polícia contra negros, sem resposta adequada pela justiça, expressa o racismo estrutural no Brasil. O corpo negro aparece na esfera pública como fonte de violência, raramente objeto de cuidado. A legítima defesa tem sido historicamente negada a essas pessoas. O artigo problematiza a relutância do sistema jurídico brasileiro em lhes reconhecer cidadania e aponta estratégias mobilizadas para transformar o cenário. O trabalho se vale da teoria crítica e análise do podcast “Justiça em Preto e Branco”. Conclui-se que a criminalização do jovem negro é um dispositivo central para a produção do que Judith Butler conceitua como olhar racialmente saturado sobre a violência e que a elaboração de sua cidadania passa por disputas na esfera pública, representação adequada e educação policial.

Police violence, racism and self-defense
Abstract: Police brutality against black people without adequate response by justice expresses structural racism in Brazil. The black body appears in the public sphere as a source of violence, rarely as an object of care. Legitimate defense has historically been denied to Black people. The article problematizes the system’s reluctance to recognize their citizenship and points out strategies mobilized to transform the scenario. The work draws on the critical theory and analysis of the podcast “Justiça em Preto e Branco”. It is concluded that the criminalization of young black people is a central device for the racial saturation of the visible as conceptualized by Judith Butler and that the elaboration of their citizenship involves disputes in the public sphere, adequate representation and police education.

Não úng thủy (NUT) và nhiễm trùng sơ sinh (NTSS) là bệnh lý thường gặp ở trẻ sơ sinh. Các phương pháp chẩn đoán hiện nay chủ yếu là nuôi cấy và PCR đa mồi, nhưng vẫn chưa phát hiện được chính xác các tác nhân gây bệnh. Nghiên cứu thực hiện tại Bệnh viện Nhi Trung ương từ năm 2019 đến 2020, mẫu máu, dịch não tuỷ của các bệnh nhân sơ sinh nghi ngờ mắc NUT và NTSS được thu thập và phân tích bằng các phương pháp nuôi cấy từ bệnh phẩm máu, kỹ thuật xét nghiệm sinh học phân tử phát hiện tác nhân gây bệnh và kỹ thuật giải trình tự 16S rRNA-seq phân tích vùng gene từ V1-V2 trong phân loại vi sinh vật gây bệnh xuất hiện ở trẻ sơ sinh. Tỷ lệ phân lập vi sinh vật từ mẫu nuôi cấy máu cho thấy Klebsiella pneumoniae chiếm tỷ lệ cao nhất. Phương pháp PCR đa mồi phát hiện được các tác nhân vi rút Cytomegalovirus, Enterovirus và vi rút viêm gan E (HEV) mà hai phương pháp còn lại không xác định được. Phương pháp giải trình tự 16S rRNA làm tăng khả năng phát hiện sớm tác nhân gây bệnh NUT và NTSS và rút ngắn thời gian điều trị. Tuy nhiên, nuôi cấy vẫn là phương pháp không thể thay thế do các chủng tác nhân phân lập là cần thiết cho xác định tính kháng thuốc của chúng.

Cambios en el modelo socialista en Cuba: claves para la luz o el abismo
Authors: Guach Estévez Jorge luís 
Published: December 2023

El actual proceso de cambios en Cuba, caracterizados por el crecimiento exponencial del mercado, formas de propiedad y gestión no estatal; profundización de los vínculos con la emigración y su protagonismo inversionista en el país, determinado desgaste del modelo tradicional de construcción socialista, su sistema de valores y símbolos que lo acreditaron históricamente en la discursividad como una realidad superior, humana y liberadora ante la mayoría abrumadora del pueblo, emergencia de nuevas clases y grupos sociales, proliferación de diferentes ideologías, proyectos de vida, intereses políticos, etc, impone un conjunto de desafíos a la preservación de la unidad socialista del pueblo, que deberán tener un seguimiento exhaustivo por parte del nuevo liderazgo revolucionario. El objetivo del presente trabajo es valorar los cambios que se deben realizar en la sociedad cubana actual para evitar fenómenos implosivos hacia el futuro cercano y a la vez preservar el sistema social en construcción. Para ello, se profundiza en el contexto interno y externo-contradictorio y cada vez más retador, en que transcurren los cambios. Se concluye, que la preservación de la unidad socialista solo es posible mediante el reemplazo de un modelo de desarrollo anterior basado en el estatismo omnipresente, que no ha originado los avances deseados por el pueblo, por otro multiactoral y eficiente, donde las mayorías alcancen los niveles de bienestar que aseguren una calidad de vida digna como se establece en la Constitución. Ello demandará sabiduría política, valoración de las diferentes estrategias posibles y a la vez, la participación sustantiva de las mayorías.
Transnistria: orígenes, evolución, consecuencias y escenarios futuros de un Estado de facto
Authors: López Jiménez José Ángel 
Published: December 2023

El presente artículo analiza un modelo de conflicto en el antiguo espacio soviético cuyo origen se sitúa en el periodo final de la Unión Soviética. La prolongación durante el proceso de construcción estatal de la República independiente de Moldavia — con un conflicto bélico durante el año 1992 —, así como la ausencia de una solución definitiva desde el punto de vista político-diplomático y el múltiple apoyo otorgado por Rusia al enclave secesionista, acabó con su conversión en un Estado de facto. No constituye un fenómeno aislado en esta amplia zona geopolítica, a la que Rusia ha convertido en su esfera de interés esencial. Sin embargo, presenta ciertas particularidades que alcanzan a la construcción, consolidación o destrucción de identidades étnico-nacionales —incluida la mayoritaria en el nuevo Estado—, sin olvidar el carácter del propio conflicto. Las consecuencias derivadas de la agresión continuada de Rusia a Ucrania desde 2014 puede derivar en consecuencias imprevisibles en torno a Transnistria: desde la ampliación de los objetivos territoriales del Kremlin hasta el desbloqueo final del conflicto hacia cualquier escenario posible, en un contexto regional de extrema inseguridad.
“From Minor Asia in 1922... to the New Philadelphia of 2019”. Creative students actions in the Theater Education course
Authors: Σακελλαροπούλου Ι. 
Published: December 2023

Η βιωματική παιδαγωγική μάθηση αποτέλεσε εργαλείο του μαθήματος της θεατρικής αγωγής, τη σχολική χρονιά 2018–2019, για τους μαθητές της Τετάρτης τάξης του 1ου Δημοτικού Νέας Φιλαδέλφειας, με σκοπό να προσεγγίσουν την ιστορία της περιοχής που ζούνε. Το άρθρο αυτό αναφέρεται στη μίμηση, τους ρόλους που εμπνευστήκαμε σε σχέση με τους πρόσφυγες της Μικράς Ασίας, την επίσκεψη στο μουσείο Μικρασιατικού Ελληνισμού της περιοχής μας της Φιλιώς Χαϊδεμένου, τη χρήση τεχνολογιών (παραγωγή εικόνας και ήχου), θεματικές οι οποίες άγγιξαν τους μαθητές και ήταν έναυσμα για την καλοκαιρινή μουσικοχορευτική παράσταση και τη δημιουργία ταινίας μικρού μήκους με τίτλο «Από την Μικρά Ασία του 1922… στη Νέα Φιλαδέλφεια του 2019». Επισκεφτήκαμε το άγαλμα Μικρασιατών και Αλησμόνητων πατρίδων και μελετήσαμε δραματοποιώντας τις ρίζες των προγόνων τους. Ανακαλύψαμε ότι στο σχολείο εργαζόταν ο Στέλιος Καζαντζίδης, όταν αυτό ήταν εργοστάσιο και το αφεντικό του ήταν ο πρώτος άνθρωπος στη ζωή του που του χάρισε μια κιθάρα. Μάθαμε σύμβολα και εξοικειώθηκαν με τη σημασία τους (δικέφαλος αετός στις εκκλησίες, το γήπεδο της ομάδας τους). Κάποια παιδιά της τάξης που αντιμετώπιζαν μαθησιακές δυσκολίες εργάστηκαν με ζήλο και δημιουργικότητα, μαζί με την υπόλοιπη τάξη με θετικά αποτελέσματα για το συγκεκριμένο project. Τέλος η ταινία μας επιλέχθηκε από την ελληνική εκπαιδευτική τηλεόραση για να παρουσιαστεί στο ευρύτερο κοινό δίνοντας την ευκαιρία στα παιδιά να μεταδώσουν τις γνώσεις και την έμπνευση για την ιστορική συνείδηση σε όλη την Ελλάδα.
Experiential pedagogical learning was a tool of the theater education course, in the 2018–2019 school year, for the students of the fourth grade of the 1st Elementary School of New Philadelphia, in order to approach the history of the area where they live. This article refers to imitation, the roles we inspired in relation to the refugees of Asia Minor, the visit to the museum of Asia Minor Hellenism in our area of Filios Chaidemenou, the use of technologies (image and sound production), topics that touched the students and it was the trigger for the summer music and dance performance and the creation of a short film entitled “From Asia Minor in 1922... to the New Philadelphia of 2019”. We visited the statue of Asia Minor and Alismonite homelands and studied by dramatizing the roots of their ancestors. We discovered that Stelios Kazantzidis worked at the school, when it was a factory, and his boss was the first person in his life to give him a guitar. We learned symbols and became familiar with their meaning (double-headed eagle in churches, their team’s stadium). Some children in the class who had learning difficulties worked with zeal and creativity, together with the rest of the class with positive results for the specific project. Finally, our film was selected by the Greek educational television to be presented to the wider public, giving the children the opportunity to transmit knowledge and inspiration for historical consciousness throughout Greece.
Freedom and Love as fundamental values of Hellenism from the “Antigone” of Sophocles and the “Prometheus Bound” of Aeschylus until today
Authors: Βαμβακά Π. 
Published: December 2023

Στο άρθρο αυτό θα επιχειρήσουμε να εντοπίσουμε και να αναλύσουμε τα κοινά στοιχεία ανάμεσα στις δύο αρχαίες τραγωδίες, την «Αντιγόνη» του Σοφοκλή και τον «Προμηθέα Δεσμώτη» του Αισχύλου καθώς και το πώς προβάλλονται οι αξίες της «Ελευθερίας» και της «Αγάπης» που είναι κοινός παρονομαστής της δράσης αυτών των δύο ηρώων. Αυτές οι δύο αξίες αποτέλεσαν βασικό κομμάτι του πυρήνα της Ελληνικής κουλτούρας ανά τους αιώνες και εφαλτήριο δύναμη για βασικά επιτεύγματα των Ελλήνων.
In this article we will attempt to identify and analyze the common elements between the two ancient tragedies, “Antigone” by Sophocles and “Prometheus Bound” by Aeschylus as well as how the values of “Freedom” and “Love” are projected that is the common denominator of the action of these two heroes. These two principles are a key part of the core of Greek Culture throughout the centuries and a springboard of strength for key achievements of the Greeks.
Vladimir Mayakovsky’s Futurism through Ritsos’ Translative, Critical and Poetic View
Authors: Αμπατζόγλου Ά. 
Published: December 2023

Θεματικός πυρήνας της μελέτης μας είναι η μεταφραστική απόδοση και ο κριτικός σχολιασμός του έργου του Vladimir Mayakovsky από τον Γιάννη Ρίτσο. Διαγράφουμε, επομένως, δύο άξονες εστίασης, ο πρώτος εκ των οποίων αφορά την μεταφραστική και ερμηνευτική προσέγγιση του Ρίτσου σε ορισμένα ποιήματα του Mayakovsky, ενώ ο δεύτερος, την συγκριτική θεώρηση παραδειγμάτων από το έργο των δύο ποιητών. Στόχος μας είναι η σκιαγράφηση των ουσιωδών χαρακτηριστικών της ποιητικής του Mayakovsky όπως τα διέκρινε ο Ρίτσος, αλλά και η διερεύνηση των υφολογικών και θεματολογικών επιδράσεων του Mayakovsky στο έργο του ομοτέχνου του. Προκειμένου αυτό να καταστεί σαφές, εισάγουμε αισθητικούς όρους του ρωσικού φουτουρισμού, όπως είναι η ραγδαία υφολογική μεταβολή και το ετερογενές ποιόν του ποιητικού λόγου, καθώς και η εναργής απόδοση επικαιρικών ζητημάτων μέσω της χωροποίησης του χρόνου.
Our paper is focused on Yannis Ritsos’ translation and critical comments on the poetic work of Vladimir Mayakovsky. Two main frames of reference are drawn, the first of which is concerned with Mayakovsky’s poetics as translated and hermeneutically commented by Ritsos, whilst the second forms a comparative analysis of the two poets’ work. Our goal is to underline the essential characteristics of Mayakovsky’s poetry as perceived by Ritsos, as well as to examine the stylistic and thematic impact that Mayakovskian discourse had on his fellow poet. In order to further underline these points, we will bring up aesthetic terms of Russian Futurism, such as the abrupt stylistic changes of poetic discourse and its new heterogeneous forms, as well as the illustrative representation of current matters through the spectrum of time spatialization.
