Evaluating Factors Influencing Quality Assurance of Building Construction Projects: A PLS-path Modelling Approach
Authors: Njoki Gacheru Esther , Diangá Stephen , Masu Sylvester , Onchiri Richard 
Published: January 2025

The quality of building construction projects in Kenya has been a challenge throughout recent years. Despite the presence of regulatory agencies, buildings have continued to portray a significant lack of quality with several buildings collapsing in major towns. The purpose of this study was to evaluate factors influencing quality assurance of building projects as well as to determine the magnitude of the influence. Eight indicators of quality assurance were identified from ISO 9001 elements of quality assurance. Similarly, eleven factors influencing quality assurance with five indicators each were identified from literature. A questionnaire survey of building contractors was carried out to evaluate factors influencing quality assurance of building construction projects. The findings of the survey were analysed using SPSS and SmartPLS to determine which studied factors were most critical. Findings indicated the most critical factors as; contractor related factors, consultant related factors, inspection and supervision related factors, communication related factors, and quality standards and measurements related factors. The least ranked factors were equipment related, and health and safety related factors. All eleven factors were however found to have significant influence on quality assurance of building construction projects. The findings of this study are important in highlighting critical areas in which contractors should channel resources to enhance quality assurance of building projects.

My Black Motherhood
Authors: Igwe Sandra 
Published: January 2025

Joyful. Graceful. Blessed. Strong. Anxious. Depressed. Stigmatised. Stereotyped.
What happens when motherhood isn’t what you expected - and when you reach out for support, you are met with judgment and prejudice?
Sandra Igwe shares her journey as a young Black mother, coping with sleepless nights, anxiety and loneliness after the birth of her first daughter. Burdened by cultural expectations of the ‘good mother’ and the ‘strong Black woman’ trope, her mental health struggles became an uphill battle.
Black women are at higher risk of developing postnatal depression but are the least likely to be identified as depressed. Sharing the voices of other mothers, Sandra examines how culture, racism, stigma and a lack of trust in services prevent women getting the help they need. Breaking open the conversation on motherhood, race, and mental health, she demands that Black women are listened to, believed, and understood.

В данной статье приводятся результаты исследований, проведенных в предгорно – степной зоне Восточно – Казахстанской области. Эспарцет сорта «Долина» показал высокие результаты по массе сухих трав и урожайность семян по сравнению «Шыгыс». Урожайность эспарцета сорта «Шыгыс» составила 56 ц/га, сорта «Долина» - 69 ц/га. Сухая масса с 1 гектара достигает 45 – 55 центнеров и даже больше. Семенная продуктивность эспарцета зависит не только от технологии возделывания и наличия опылителей, но и от сорта. Сорт «Долина» отличается тем, что у него несколько длиннее цветочная кисть в сравнении с «Шыгыс». В результате двух укосов урожайность сухой биомассы может достигать 40–50 и более центнеров с гектара. Весной культура достигает укосной спелости на 10–15 дней раньше люцерны и на 18–20 дней раньше клевера, что позволяет значительно расширить зеленый и сырьевой конвейеры.	Статья направлена на интеграцию научных знаний и практических решений, способствует развитию науки и практики в области кормопроизводства. В связи с этим необходимы исследования с учетом зональных особенностей хозяйственно-биологических показателей эспарцета разных сортов в условиях предгорно-степной зоны на востоке Казахстана.
A Comprehensive Review of Self-Determination Theory: Exploring Challenges, and Impacts
Authors: Milagrin Mary Arokiyaswamy C  
Published: January 2025

SDT- Self Determination Theory is also known as Human Motivation Theory it provides the theoretical Frame-Work. self determination theory plays vital role in the organization to improve employees motivation and to encourage good or positive output in the organization such as well-Being of the employees, Betterment in Relations of employees, Job Satisfaction, Punctuality, Efficiency,Responsibility and Employee Performance in the Organization and Commitment towards the work. The self determination theory focuses on the important of three basic psychology needs those are Autonomy, Competence and Relatedness it shows that when these needs are fulfilled people are more likely to be motivated. Autonomy is all about self initiatives, competence is about skill, ability and knowledge that employee perform into their job effectively and relatedness its all about building strong relationship in work place this theory is more over focuses on intrinsic and extrinsic motivation of employee. Some employees may motivates them self through Intrinsically when they have interested do some certain things, and some will do extrinsically when employees get work load. This article Paper is aim to investigate how (SDT) Self Determination Theory exploring the challenges and impact of the employees in the organization.

Abstract: Controlling the size and distribution of metal nanoparticles is one of the simplest methods of tuning the catalytic properties of a material. For a nanocrystal particle, the ratio of edge-to-terrace sites can be critical in determining its catalytic activity and selectivity to desired products. To study these effects, we have developed a simple impregnation method of controlling the dispersion of rhodium atoms at the same metal loading in the range of nanoparticles less than 10 nm. Rh precursor salts are loaded onto inert SBA-15, and increasing the ratio of chloride to acetylacetonate salts improves the dispersion of rhodium atoms to form small Rh nanoparticles. Extensive characterization of the size-controlled catalysts, including XAS and in-situ CO-DRIFTS studies, has been performed to characterize the structure of Rh nanoparticles. Applying these catalysts to the hydroformylation of styrene, we observed that turnover frequency increases with decreasing particle size from 6.4 to 1.6 nm. When applied to hydroformylation reactions, we achieved a high branched product selectivity and successfully demonstrated a route to synthesizing the pain relief drug ibuprofen. This simple method can also synthesize Pt and Pd nanoparticles between 2–10 nm.
