Authors: Brenda Mueni Wambua  , Peter Mutua Maurice  , Ann Njogu Wachira  , Jared Bravin Menecha  , Egara Kabaji  
Published: November 2023

This paper critically examined the literature on the exploitation of religious symbols in political rhetoric in Kenya; it focused on the 2017 general and presidential elections in Kenya. The paper conducted an extensive critical study on the usage of three major religious symbols, that is, mganga, Jubilee and Canaan, used in the 2017 general and presidential elections in Kenya and the biblical, contemporary meaning of these religious symbols and their usage. Moreover, an intricate examination was carried out on the use of religious gab and garb in relation to the said election. The paper borrowed heavily from culture, context and biblical literature and the significance of these to the question of exploitation of religious symbols.
The paper unravelled the deliberate exploitation of religious symbols by the presidential flag bearers in both the NASA and the Jubilee coalitions in the 2017 general and presidential elections. A careful correlation was drawn between the usage of these religious symbols in political rhetoric and the relationship on the outcome of the general elections of the said period. Secondary data from written texts, such as articles, books and journals; audio-visual data, such as video clips; iconic texts, such as drawings, paintings and hypertexts, such as vlogs and blogs, were mined and synthesized.
Through appropriation of semiotic analysis, meaning was generated, related and evaluated under the torchlight of the biblical yardstick to obtain verifiable, valid conclusions. This paper is meant to serve as a wake-up call to Kenyan society on the exploitation of religious symbols and the implication of these symbols during and after the 2017 general and presidential elections.
Moreover, it is designed to arouse a polemic response from the clergy on the preservation of divine language and the place of divine talk. Finally, the paper seeks to sensitize the electorates to the careful evaluation of political rhetoric before making important decisions on matters of voting. The paper enumerates the dangers of the exploitation of religious symbols in Kenyan society and why this practice needs to be interrogated.
The paper endeavours to articulate recommendations based on a proper understanding of the appropriate usage and meaning of religious symbols.
Cold War: China’s Reselection of Allies
Authors: Ziji Jin  
Published: November 2023

This scholarly discourse delves into the genesis of Ping-Pong Diplomacy between the United States and China and its consequential ramifications on China-Soviet Union relations. This diplomatic overture had a profound impact on the dynamics of the Cold War, with the Soviet Union witnessing the erosion of a key ally and perceiving China as a burgeoning threat. Concurrently, China reasserted its presence on the global stage, embarking on the transformative path of Reform and Opening Up. The U.S. benefited from turning an enemy into an ally in Asia and became the only superpower in the world. The paper introduced how a simple ping-pong friendly match contributed to the diplomacy between the Chinese and US governments, which eventually led to China's reselection of allies that contributed to the end of the Cold War.

BackgroundPrevious United Kingdom campaigns targeting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) recommended running multimedia campaigns over an increased timeframe. The 3-year-long Keep Antibiotics Working (KAW) campaign was a mass media campaign in England targeting the public and general practitioners (GPs).MethodsEvery year, pre- and post-campaign questionnaire data were collected from the public, whereas post-campaign interview data were obtained from GPs. Data were weighted to allow pre- and post-campaign comparisons between independent samples. Significant changes in nominal and ordinal data were determined using Pearson’s chi-squared (X2) and Mann–Whitney U tests, respectively.ResultsPrompted campaign recognition was high, increasing by 6% from 2018 to 2019 (2017: data unavailable; 2018: 68% (680/1,000); 2019: 74% (740/1,000);X2 = 8.742, p = 0.003). Knowledge regarding declining antibiotic effectiveness when taken inappropriately improved following the campaign (net true: pre-2017 = 69.1% (691/1,000); post-2019 = 77.6%; (776/1,000);X2 = 5.753, p = 0.016). The proportion of individuals reporting concern for themselves or for children (≤ 16 years) about AMR increased by 11.2% (Z = −5.091, p < 0.001) and 6.0% (Z = −3.616, p < 0.001) respectively, pre- to post-campaign. Finally, in 2017, reported confidence to say no to patients requesting antibiotics differed significantly between GPs who were and were not aware of the campaign (net agree: 98.9% (182/184) vs 92.4% (97/105) respectively;X2 = 4.000, p = 0.045).ConclusionA high level of prompted campaign recognition was achieved. The KAW campaign improved aspects of AMR knowledge and certain attitudes towards appropriate antimicrobial use. It increased awareness of and concern about AMR, supporting GP confidence to appropriately prescribe antibiotics. Future determination of measurable behaviour changes resulting from AMR campaigns is important.

Published: November 2023

Introduction: The level of BLS achievement at the end of basic education is not clear, so to develop a BLS training program using QCPR LearnerⓇ and to verify its effectiveness.
Methods: A quantitative descriptive study design was used. The developed BLS program was implemented for 81 fourth-year students at the school of nursing. The program consisted of 2 minutes of training per student and real-time feedback by QCPR LearnerⓇ as well as feedback among students and from faculty members and was conducted twice for each student. Evaluation was conducted from three aspects: learner response and program evaluation both using questionnaires, learning achievement of QCPR score.
Results: The mean values of learners' responses before and after the program were: attention, 4.32 before and 4.59 after; relevance, 4.48 before and 4.75 after; confidence, 2.32 before and 3.78 after; and satisfaction, 2.12 before and 3.41 after, which increased significantly after the program. The QCPR LearnerⓇ scores increased significantly from 74.08 for the first time to 86.76 for the second time. In the free response, some respondents stated that "visualisation of the procedure by the application improved my skills."
Conclusion: The results of the evaluation from three aspects showed that this program was effective in improving students' motivation to learn and skills.

Entrustable Professional Activities implementation in undergraduate allied health therapy programs
Authors: Zainuldin Rahizan , Tan Heidi Siew Khoon 
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Singapore Institute of Technology’s undergraduate (UG) occupational therapy (OT) and physiotherapy (PT) programs are one of the first implementors of Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) in the respective allied health professions training. The aim of the paper is to report the outcomes of the first year of EPAs implementation in clinical practice education (CPE) and share next steps refining implementation.
Methods: A quality improvement (QI) study using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle was conducted. UG OT Year 2 and Year 3 students, UG PT Year 3 students and their clinical educators (CEs) who experienced the use of EPAs for the first time were surveyed at the end of the clinical block.
Results: There was generally high agreement (>70% agreed or strongly agreed) among all groups in using EPAs to better understand the learning objectives of CPE and practice expectations as future entry-level practitioners at conditional-registration. More than 70% of OT respondents but less than 50% PT respondents found the EPA assessment forms easy to use. Less than 60% of both program CEs did not include colleagues for EPA assessments. 55% of both OT and PT CEs found the EPA training and resources adequate. Overall, PT respondents showed lower agreement than OT respondents in five survey items.
Conclusion: The first implementation cycle of EPA in the undergraduate OT and PT CPE had mixed acceptability to the EPA assessment tools. Three strategic changes were made for the second implementation cycle., i.e., redesign of EPA-based assessment forms, training focus and ‘just-in-time’ training with streamlined resources.

Süreyya Berfe'nin İlk İki Şiir Kitabında Toplumcu Gerçekçi Poetikanın Yansımaları
Authors: DURMUŞ Gökay 
Published: November 2023

Süreyya Berfe, 1960’lı yılların ikinci yarısından günümüze uzayan süreçte, Türk şiirinin en üretken isimlerinden biri olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Bu süreçte görülen edebî oluşumlara bazen kapı aralayan bazen uzaktan bakan Berfe, her şartta özgün olmayı başarabilmiş bir isimdir.
Berfe, bu çalışmaya konu olan Gün Ola ve Savrulan başlıklı ilk iki şiir kitabı özelinde, güncel eğilimlere göre hareket ettiği düşünülerek eleştirilmiştir. Berfe bu kitaplarında gerçekten de 1960-1980 sürecinde ana akımlardan olan toplumcu gerçekçi poetikanın ilkeleriyle konuşmaktadır. Fakat şair bu ilkelerii; orijinal bir üslûpla, tekrara düşmeden ve kendine özgü tarzıyla işlemiştir. Çalışmamızda Berfe’nin söz konusu özgünlüğü nasıl ve hangi yöntemlerle yakaladığı üzerinde durulmaktadır.

Published: November 2023

Weibull Regression is a model of regression developed from Weibull distribution in which scale parameter is expressed in the regression parameters. The Weibull regression models discussed in this study are the Weibull survival regression, Weibull hazard regression and regression model for the mean. The Weibull survival regression model is a model of the probability that the Mahakam River water is polluted. The Weibull hazard regression model is a model of velocity of the polluted Mahakam River water, and the Weibull regression for the mean is the model used to predict the average value of BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand). The purpose of this study was to obtain the Weibull regression model on BOD water pollution indicator data in the Mahakam River basin, to determine the factors that influence the Weibull regression model. The parameter method is maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). Based on the parameter estimation results, the maximum likelihood estimator is obtained by using the method of Newton-Raphson iteration. The results of hypothesis testing, it is concluded that the factors that influence the Weibull regression model are pH, Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) and water discharge.

Authors: Shrestha Rijma , Pokhrel Laxman 
Published: November 2023

Purpose - The purpose of this paper was to examine the interplay of Employee Brand Love (EBL), Affective Commitment (AC), Positive Word of Mouth (PWM), and Turnover Intention (TI) among employees of different organizations in the service sector.
Design/methodology/approach - This research study employed a cross-sectional survey research design and utilized a purposive sampling technique to collect data from a sample of 251 respondents. To assess the hypotheses, we utilized the Process Macro 3.5 Free Version software.
Finding - The findings indicate that EBL exerts a significant impact on PWM and TI, but its influence on AC is found to be insignificant. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that AC serves as a partial mediator in the relationship between EBL and both PWM and TI.
Practical Implications - This study could help managers to better understand especially how brand love of employees affects employee intention to leave the organization. It might help to increase the likelihood that employees will love their organizational brands and, as a result, design branding strategies to strengthen the organizational brand in order to draw in new employees and promote organizations.

Authors: Neupane Krishna Prasad 
Published: November 2023

Purpose - This study intends to investigate the connection between work-life balance and job satisfaction among faculty members of management campuses in the Kathmandu Valley. When companies show concern for the satisfaction of employees’ personal lives and jobs, these employees often give back by contributing to the achievement of the organization’s objectives through enhanced performance and higher staff retention.
Study design/methodology/approach - A quantitative approach was adopted and a descriptive and causal-comparative research design to measure the status of work-life balance and its connection with job happiness among the faculty members of management campuses in Kathmandu. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from 147 faculty members, and analyzed through Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25.
Findings - Results of this research exhibited a strong correlation between work-life balance and job satisfaction among faculty of management campuses in Kathmandu. The majority of faculty members of management campuses was able to manage their work-life responsibilities and expressed a moderate level of job satisfaction.
Conclusion - Long hours and intense job pressure made it challenging for faculty to have a positive work-life balance, and an imbalance in these factors made them dissatisfied towards the job. Support from coworkers, flexible work hours, and family-friendly initiatives all contributed to a healthy balance between work-life, which helped faculty members feel more satisfied with their jobs.
Implications - Theoretically, this study filled the gap that existed in the area of educational sectors in Nepal. The study is important for academics since it sparks ideas for additional research. Practically, the results of this research help to review the policies and strategies of the educational institutions to implement work-life balance practices which add to the job happiness of faculty and the quality and productivity of the institutions.
