Vastness of Teachers' Awareness of Students with Special Needs at St. Pamachius Inclusive Secondary School in Hai District, Tanzania
Authors: Daniel B. Kileo  , Adam J. Chidyau  , Timothy Mandila  
Published: December 2023

This formative assessment sought to determine the educators' awareness of special needs students' abilities in promoting inclusive education at St. Pamachius Secondary School. Anchored in Scaffolding theory by the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky in 1978, the evaluation employed the convergent design under a mixed methods evaluation approach in which qualitative and quantitative data sets were collected at one point in time, analyzed separately before they were converged in a single study. The targeted population was 439, from which 151 respondents were sampled through stratified random, census and convenient sampling techniques. Data were gathered using questionnaires and interview guides from 123 students, 24 teachers, 1 head of school, and 1 Catholic Diocesan Education secretary. Tools for data collection were validated through research experts from Mwenge Catholic University, and the reliability of the questionnaire was achieved through the Cronbach Alpha technique, where coefficients for students' and teachers' questionnaires were 0.85 and 0.76, respectively. The trustworthiness of the qualitative data was ensured by the triangulation of instruments and peer debriefing methods. Quantitative data were descriptively analyzed in frequencies and percentages and presented in a table. The qualitative data were coded, thematically analyzed and presented in direct quotations. The research findings indicate that both teachers instructing students with special needs and the students themselves exhibit awareness of inclusive education principles. Furthermore, the study highlights positive interactions between teachers instructing both special needs and non-special needs students. Consequently, it can be inferred that teachers and students possess an awareness of effective teaching and learning strategies for both groups, which ultimately contribute to their potential development within the framework of inclusive education at St. Pamachius Secondary School.
Based on these findings, it is recommended that the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology enforce mandatory inclusive education courses within teacher training programs. This initiative aims to mandate the integration of inclusive education modules in all teacher training institutions. This mandate ensures that every graduating teacher possesses the essential knowledge and skills for proficiently implementing inclusive education. Such a systemic reform aligns with the overarching objective of advancing inclusive education and comprehensively addressing students' diverse needs.
Effect of Globalization on Management of Small and Medium Enterprises: A Case of Some Selected SMEs in Ghana
Authors: Okobia Eguriase Caleb  , Eunice Adotane Ugoh  
Published: December 2023

The effect of globalization on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) has received a lot of attention in international circles in the past few years. One of the reasons for the international focus on SMEs is that these firms make significant contributions to the economies of both developing and developed countries. The theories reviewed were: how globalization affects SMEs positively and negatively and the importance of globalization. The specific objectives of this study were:

To determine the effect of globalization on small and medium enterprises.
To determine the benefit of globalization on the management of SMEs.
To access the factors that hinder SMEs' global integration.
To identify the barriers to the success of SMEs.

A descriptive survey design was used. The target population of the study was fifty (50) respondents of the managers and owners of SMEs.
This study was carried out using interviews and questionnaires. The results show that the effect of globalization on SMEs has made their resources more efficient and effective, creating many investment opportunities, operating globally, and having more global competition. It was found that the benefit also helps the SMEs management upgrade and adapt to new strategies and always find innovative ways of promoting the firm's market. It was found that key challenges include: High competition in the market, especially big/ foreign organizations, and small businesses are still hindered by the lack of technological implementation, lack of managerial experience, capacity and lack of knowledge about the market. Further, it was found that there is also a barrier to the success of SMEs that lack government support, experience with foreign markets, and information about the markets. High cost has made a lot of entrepreneurs not to enter the big market with high growth.
Gendered Politics in Post-Independence Kenya: The Case of Lower Eastern Region
Authors: Ambrose Kimanthi Vengi, D  , Isaiah Otieno Oduor  
Published: December 2023

Women make up a significant proportion of the population, accounting for over half of the global population. Despite this, their participation in politics has always been lower than that of men. In Kenya, women constitute more than half of the entire population and form a sizable part of the electorate, yet they still face political exclusion. Political participation of women in politics is of great significance. This is because it is within the political realm that resource allocation and conflict resolution takes place. People join politics to individually or collectively pursue their interests and if women as a category are not equitably represented, it would mean that key policy and decisions are made without considering their aspirations. The objective of the study was to examine patterns of women's political mobilization in Kenya between 1963-2022. The study was guided by Social Relations Gender Approach. This theory is underpinned by the following assumptions:

Human well-being is the primary goal of development,
Social relations determine people's roles, rights as well as their power over others and
Societal institutions play an integral role in perpetuating social inequality.

The research employed an exploratory research design. It is held here that the Jomo Kenyatta regime perpetuated the colonial patriarchal ideology anchored on gender bias. The independence regime conceptualized the role of women’s organizations as mainly useful to improve the nation’s economy but deliberately muzzled their political aspirations. The Moi regime opened political space for women and it is the Kibaki administration through the promulgation of the 2010 Constituion that gave women the requisite platform towards achieving gender equity in politics.
Intersectionality and Climate Change: A Review of the Literature between 2014 and 2023
Authors: Andra Costache  
Published: December 2023

The last decade was characterized by an intensification of the debate on climate change, both in the public context and in the academic environment. The research on the potential physical impact of climate-related hazards became more sophisticated and methodologically complex. On the other hand, the literature on the societal impact of these processes expanded to incorporate different approaches, including the growing area of intersectionality and climate change studies, with roots in climate adaptation, critical climate justice, feminist literature, indigenous studies, and environmental policy, to name just a few.
The purpose of this paper is to explore the main topics highlighted in the field of intersectionality and climate change during the last ten years to underline the theoretical and methodological contribution of this field to the broader area of climate change research. We carried out a rapid literature review by building a database consisting mainly, but not entirely, of open-access papers published in English between 2014 and 2023. We pointed out the valuable insights provided by intersectionality studies in assessing the multiple facets of human vulnerability to climate change. We also emphasized the diversity of perspectives and the transition from predominantly conceptual approaches to qualitative research aimed to make an impact at the local level. The heterogeneity of approaches is beneficial in understanding the intersectionality and climate change nexus. However, good practice guides and methodological landmarks could support more scholars in incorporating the intersectionality lens in climate change research.
Pragmatic Strategies in Interpersonal Conflict Resolution: A Cross-Cultural Analysis
Authors: Bilkisu Mohammed  
Published: December 2023

Conflict resolution is a universal aspect of human interaction that profoundly impacts relationships, organizations, and entire societies. It is inherently influenced by the cultural perspectives and values of those involved, giving rise to diverse approaches across different regions. This paper embarks on an exploration of the intricate world of conflict resolution, specifically examining how pragmatic strategies manifest differently in Eastern and Western cultures. By delving into the patterns of speech acts and integrating the wisdom of esteemed scholars in cross-cultural communication, we aspire to offer a holistic perspective on how cultural contexts intricately mold conflict resolution strategies.
In Eastern cultures, such as those influenced by Confucianism, indirect communication and face-saving strategies often take precedence in conflict resolution (Chen, 2023). Maintaining social harmony and avoiding public embarrassment play vital roles, steering individuals towards subtle cues and nonverbal communication. In contrast, Western cultures, rooted in individualism, tend to emphasize directness and assertiveness in communication (McConachy & Spencer-Oatey, 2021). Conflicts are addressed head-on, prioritizing clarity and resolution, even if it entails temporary discomfort.
This exploration will illuminate the profound impact of cultural norms on the language used in conflict resolution, offering insights into how individuals from diverse backgrounds navigate conflicts. Through the lens of renowned scholars, we seek to enrich our understanding of the interplay between culture and conflict resolution, ultimately promoting more effective cross-cultural communication and harmonious interactions.
18. Yüzyılda Mahmudî Hükûmetinin İdari Yapısı ve Çevresiyle Etkileşimine Dair Bazı Tespitler
Authors: KAYA Hakan 
Published: December 2023

Osmanlı Devleti; başta Anadolu’nun doğusunda ve İran serhadında, Kuzey Afrika, Balkanlar ve Anadolu’nun güneyinde (Adana, Kilis) imparatorluğun farklı bölgelerinde değişen şekillerde serbestiyete sahip idari birimleri oluşturmuştur. Osmanlı bu bölgelerde klasik, yurtluk-ocaklık ve hükûmet sancak sistemlerini icra ettirmiştir. Osmanlı, 16. yüzyılın ilk çeyreğinden başlayarak 19. yüzyılın ilk yarısına kadar uygulamış olduğu yurtluk-ocaklık ve hükûmet sistemi ile yerel beylerle ilişkisini, zaman zaman sorunlu olsa da, devam ettirmiştir. Özellikle serhad bölgelerinde kurmuş olduğu bu sistemlerle bölgeyi kontrol altında tutmaya çalışmıştır. Böylece bu imtiyazlı idari birimler, Osmanlı Devleti ile rakip devletleri arasında tampon bölge görevini görmüş, bu tampon idari birimlerin desteğiyle devletin bölgedeki hâkimiyetini güçlendirilmiştir. Yavuz Sultan Selim’in İdris-i Bitlisî’nin rehberliğinde Kürt beyleriyle yapmış olduğu işbirliği neticesinde ortaya çıkan imtiyazlı idari birimler Tanzimat’ın uygulama sürecine kadar devam etmiştir.
Osmanlı-İran sınırında hükûmet sistemi ile idare edilen Mahmudî Beyliği tarihsel manada önemli roller üstlenmiştir. Mahmudî Beyliği, bu rolü Osmanlı-İran sınırının korunmasında ve iki devlet arasında meydana gelen savaşlarda Osmanlı merkez ordusuna lojistik destek sağlamıştır. Ancak 18. yüzyılda merkezi yönetimin gücünün zayıflamasıyla birlikte Mahmudî beyleri ile devlet arasında anlaşmazlıkların artmaya başladığını söylemek mümkündür. Bunun yanı sıra Mahmudî beylerinin dönem dönem hem kendi aralarında hem de reaya ile çatışma halinde oldukları görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda, çalışmada esas olarak üç önemli konu üzerinde durulacaktır. Çalışma ilk olarak Kürt beylerinden/mirlerinden olan Mahmudîlerin Osmanlı-İran sınırında nasıl bir rol üstlendiklerinin ortaya koymayı hedeflemektedir. İkincisi Mahmudî Kürt beylerinin zaman zaman söz konusu dönemde birbirileriyle olan çatışmalarının temel sebeplerinin irdelenmesidir. Son olarak da Mahmudî beyleri arasındaki çekişme ve çatışmalarda imparatorluk merkezî ve özellikle de yerel idarecilerin (vali, sancakbeyleri) bu çatışmadaki etkileri ve merkezin bu sorunlara yönelik çözüm pratiklerinin neler olduğu üzerinde durulmaktadır.

Published: December 2023

This research is motivated by the heterogeneous demographic conditions of Sungai Rambutan Village and is an Independent Integrated City area and as a development and research center village in Ogan Ilir. In particular, this study aims to analyze the implementation of the Musrenbangdes in the perspective of good governance and to describe the collaborative action model that can be applied in the implementation of the Musrenbangdes. The method used in this research is a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. Data collection was carried out by in-depth interviews with key informants, observations, and literature reviews. Furthermore, the data obtained from the interviews were processed using the NVIVO 12 Plus Software. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of Musrenbangdes in Sungai Rambutan Village has not been maximized. The lack of socialization and knowledge related to the musrenbangdes has an impact on the low participation of the community and the absence of absorption of aspirations in the form of multilevel deliberation from the hamlet level. In addition, the implementation of the musrenbangdes in Sungai Rambutan Village is also constrained by budget availability in accommodating the majority of physical development proposals that require a large budget. Through this research, the researcher provides recommendations for collaborative action models in the implementation of musrenbangdes involving academics and the private sector as a form of problem solving.
