The Anatomization of Learning Principles Administration in Secondary School Teaching
Authors: Marvi Khadija Muhammad Hussain 
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The study analyzed the challenges teachers’ face when teaching students. The biggest difficulty is developing the current topic while working with the pupils' prior concepts.
Methodology: A qualitative research methodology was used in this study. Group interviews were conducted with five teachers from each school making total of 15 teachers.
Findings: Discussion-based teaching methods may solve this problem but many schools do not use them due to limits imposed by school authorities. The lesson planner serves as the basis for the working environment in the classroom. The seven learning principles in teaching training are designed to grow the self-directed learner in a setting where people love learning and actively seek it out. However, most teachers do not engage in teaching and learning in their actions, and our educational systems do not gain any benefits from the skills of qualified teachers. The principle of learning results in self-directed learners, but it is not an action; rather, it is a set of skills and talents. Yet, they are constrained by imperceptible restrictions. Each institution has its own set of guidelines. Institutions frequently employ outdated teaching methods and lack modernization. Although students are frequently referred to as intellectuals, the conception of this study illustrates through “Concept of Acuity” which is the combination of developmental and constructional theory states, under the direction of teachers, student can improve their talent and learning capacities by sharpening their focus, attentiveness, insights, and awareness.
Recommendation: Prior knowledge evaluation can be used to conduct cognitive collaborative learning in the classroom, giving students freedom of thinking and attention. Teacher feedback is necessary to deal with prior knowledge collaborative learning challenges.
Development of Rotterdam Rules for Harmonisation of Legal Instruments based on Economic and Political Conditions of UNIDROIT for Renewable Energies of Carbon Emissions
Authors: Llarena Zharama 
Published: March 2023

Purpose: Commercial transactions have binding obligatory and regulations that are restricted within a particular jurisdiction. However, the bill of lading for international carriage of goods must be performed and exercised resulting to extension of executory principles based on International Commercial Contracts (UNIDROIT) with a particular focus of interest on renewable energies for corporate economic goals towards sustainable development. This paper aims to develop statutory interpretation, based on Rotterdam Rules, to show the relationship between waste to energy technology and sustainable development. This helps in illustrating environmental tax for carbon emissions of energy management based on life cycle of drugs.
Methodology: Life cycle of drugs involves contractual agreements pertaining to sustainable development and waste to energy technologies. Its carbon emissions must be properly controlled and diverted to renewable energies in order to fulfill the economic success and political safety of sustainable development. The carriage of goods by sea involves legal instruments, such as Hamburg, Hague, and Hague-Visby Rules under principles of International Commercial Contracts (UNIDROIT). Rotterdam Rules covers a broader spectrum and more substantial elements of regulatory functions encompassing Hague, Hague-Visby, and Hamburg Rules.
Findings: Development of carbon tax is a statutory interpretation for economic success of the company towards philanthropic sustainable development in relation to public interests of human rights. Rotterdam Rules developed a means to enforce the substantial elements for validity of Hague, Hague-Visby, and Hamburg Rules in terms of carbon emissions for renewable energies based on sustainable development goals. Hence, the waste to energy technology provided a means of interpreting their economic progress in relation to law of the environment comparable to another jurisdiction.
Recommendation: In order to achieve economic and political stability, there must be a functional equivalence between waste to energy technology and sustainable development, hence, carbon emissions from commercial transactions of International Carriage of Goods must not serve as an impediment to economic success based on laws of the company and the environment, thus, it must fulfill the goals of political sustainable development resulting to renewable energies.
The Jurisprudence of Patentable and Non-patentable Inventions: Nigerian in Perspective
Authors: Nwogu Mary Imelda Obianuju 
Published: March 2023

Patent is an industrial property right granted by the government of a state to a patentee. It is an intangible, incorporeal and exclusive right granted under the Law to an invention. While an invention is something that has never been made or existed before. Patents are granted to inventions, but not every invention qualify for grant of patent, hence there are patentable and non-patentable inventions. An invention is patentable if it is new, results from an inventive activity and is capable of industrial application (s.1(1) of the Patent and Designs Act 2004). Several textbooks, case laws, statutes(local and International), internet sources reveal that Nigerian legislation inadequately granted patent to inventions, wherein it did not grant patent to some inventions which International intellectual property regime stated patent should be granted. The Laws of developed countries like USA have wider protection of inventions than Laws of developing countries like Nigeria. Hence the Nigerian Law is narrow in the inventions that should be patentable as against the International Intellectual Property Regime.
The Mediating Effect of Intra-Organizational Social Capital on the Relationship between Team Leadership and Collaborative Value among Ashoka Fellows’ Organizations in Africa
Authors: Mahinda Wamuyu 
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The study sought to determine the mediating effect of intra-organizational social capital on the relationship between team leadership and collaborative value among Ashoka fellows’ organizations in Africa
Methodology: The study applied pragmatism philosophy to offer several ways to bridge dichotomies in mixed methods approaches to social science. Explanatory sequential mixed-method research design consisting of two distinct phases, namely quantitative and qualitative, was adopted. Both qualitative and quantitative study methods were adopted. In the quantitative study, the target population constituted all the 154 Ashoka Fellows' Organizations working in 19 countries in Africa. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire administered online to the founders (Ashoka Fellows) or the Ashoka Fellows' Organizations' CEOs. One hundred responded by filling out the questionnaire, which translated to a 64.9% response rate. Additionally, qualitative data applied purposive sampling and selected six Ashoka regional team leaders in Africa for in-depth interviews. They all were available for the interviews translating to a 100% response rate. Data analysis techniques combined descriptive and inferential statistics. Statistical Package for Social Sciences and SmartPLS 3 software were used to analyze the collected data.
Findings: Results revealed that Intra-organizational Social Capital (IOSC) mediates the relationship between team leadership and collaborative value. Before IOSC mediation, team leadership accounted for 34.1% of collaborative value, with an R2 = 0.341, chi-square X2 (10, N=100) = 99.274, p<.05, SRMR=0.096, Rms-theta = 0.227, and NFI=0.745. After IOSC mediation team leadership accounted for 37.1% of collaborative value, with an R2 = 0.371, chi-square X2 (10, N=100) = 152.934, p<.05, SRMR=0.100. Rms-theta = 0.207 and NFI= 0.707. The null hypothesis was rejected.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Based on this finding, further research could be a study investigating how teams build their social capital and how intra-organizational social capital can be enhanced to improve teams’ performance. Another recommended study should empirically examine the link between team leadership and collaborative value in other sectors such as private sector organizations and public organizations as well as other regions like Europe or Asia.

The impact of rumination on life satisfaction of hotel employees during the COVID-19 pandemic: the mediating role of fear of COVID-19 and the moderating role of sedentary lifestyle
Authors: Üngüren Engin , Ceyhan Sefa , Türker Nazlı 
Published: March 2023

BackgroundIt is important to determine the individual factors that cause the differentiation of negative reactions of individuals due to epidemics. The purpose of this study is to investigate the moderating role of a sedentary lifestyle and the me-diating role of fear of COVID-19 on the relationship between rumination and life satisfaction. Intense rumination is known to have a negative impact on individuals’ life satisfaction levels. Very little is known about variables that may mediate and moderate this relationship.Participants and procedureThe study was conducted with staff members of five-star accommodation establishments in Turkey. Data were col-lected with a quantitative research method via questionnaires, completed by 386 full-time employees.ResultsThe results show that rumination negatively affects life satisfaction, and fear of COVID-19 has a mediating role be-tween rumination and life satisfaction. In addition, the study concluded that a sedentary lifestyle moderated the indi-rect effect of rumination on life satisfaction through fear of COVID-19. This finding indicates that the negative impact of rumination on life satisfaction, mediated by fear of COVID-19, decreased, as the active lifestyle level of employees increased.ConclusionsThe results indicate the importance of active lifestyles in reducing negative impacts of the fear of being infected with a disease during times of crisis such as outbreaks and ruminative thoughts on lifestyle. The findings of this study provide substantial contributions with respect to how outbreak-related negative reactions occur and differ.
Preference for leaders with high and low facial width-to-height ratios: moderating roles of political ideology and voting context
Authors: Banai Benjamin , Bačić Marinela , Pavela Banai Irena 
Published: March 2023

BackgroundIt has been argued that human ancestors evolved greater sensitivity to certain traits that signal dominance in poten-tial leaders. From this perspective, modern voters still favor certain physical characteristics during political elections. Indeed, previous studies have shown that voters prefer dominant candidates, especially when primed with wartime scenarios, and with conservative voters being more likely to choose a dominant leader. Because facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR) was found to be positively associated with perceived dominance, we sought to investigate the effect of fWHR on leader preference by taking into an account voting context and voters’ political ideology.Participants and procedureA total of 148 participants took part in two online experiments in which we manipulated standardized facial images to represent faces with low and high fWHR. Furthermore, we assessed participants’ political ideology and asked them to rate the extent to which faces with low and high fWHR looked like leaders during wartime and peacetime scenarios.ResultsPreference for leaders with high fWHR was positively related to participants’ political ideology, but only in a wartime scenario, suggesting that the more conservative participants were, the higher was their preference for leaders with high fWHR. This is consistent with the notion that preferences for dominant-looking leaders vary as a function of the contextual (voting context) and individual differences (political ideology).ConclusionsThe present findings provide new evidence for the contribution of fWHR in leader preference and significantly adds to the results of previous research demonstrating the roles of voters’ political ideology and politicians’ physical char-acteristics in perceiving leadership abilities.
News media exposure and life satisfaction in the COVID-19 pandemic: a moderated mediation model of COVID-19 fear and worries and gender
Authors: Iwanowska Magdalena , Zawadzka Anna , Kondratowicz Blanka 
Published: March 2023

BackgroundResearch has found that news media exposure may have both positive and negative consequences for well-being in times of crisis. However, the internal mechanisms underlying that relationship need further investigation. The pur-pose of the research presented in the paper was to explore the role of COVID-19 fear and worries and users’ gender in the relationship between news media exposure and life satisfaction.Participants and procedureThree hundred seventy-one media users aged 19 to 65 (M = 28.88, SD = 10.25) were surveyed with news media ex-posure, COVID-19 fear and worries, and life satisfaction scales. Correlation analyses and moderated mediation anal-yses were performed.ResultsThe study demonstrated a significant positive association between news media exposure and life satisfaction, and an indirect effect of news exposure on life satisfaction via COVID-19 fear moderated by gender: elevated COVID-19 fear decreases the positive association between news exposure and life satisfaction, and this effect is stronger for women.ConclusionsThe present study expands our understanding of the role that news media can play in shaping the user’s well-being in a time of a health crisis. It demonstrates that the effects of exposure to news media during a crisis are twofold. On the one hand, the use of news media is associated with a more positive evaluation of one’s life, which may indicate that media use is a way to cope with a crisis. On the other hand, frequent use of news media leads to an elevated level of fear related to COVID-19, which, in turn, lowers the user’s well-being.
Assessing the dominance behavioral system in early childhood using observational methods

Published: March 2023

BackgroundThe dominance behavioral system (DBS) is a biologically based system that underpins individual differences in motivation for dominance and power. However, little is known about the DBS in childhood. In order to make strong claims about the DBS’s trait-like properties and predictive validity, a clearer understanding of its early development is required.Participants and procedureIn a pilot study aimed at developing a behavioral coding system for dominance, a key facet of the DBS, we collected and coded observational data from 58 children, assessed at ages 3 and 5-6. These data were examined in conjunction with measures of child temperament via observational measures, and symptoms of psychopathology.ResultsDominance was moderately stable in early childhood to a degree comparable to other early child temperament traits. Con-sistent with the study hypotheses, boys were more dominant than girls, and dominance was negatively associated with children’s behavioral inhibition, effortful control, and internalizing symptoms.ConclusionsThese results provide initial support for the validity and developmental sensitivity of an objective coding system for assessing facets of the DBS in early childhood. Ultimately, the use of this coding system will facilitate future studies of how early DBS predicts psychological adjustment later in life.
Social identity and the mental health and wellbeing of male veterans
Authors: Ruben Mollie , LaPiere Teagan 
Published: March 2023

BackgroundPrevious work has linked disruptions in one’s social identity to increased levels of depression and suicide among veterans. This study examines the relationship between veteran social identity (as measured by the public and private regard subscales of the Warrior Identity Scale) and mental health and wellbeing among male veterans.Participants and procedureMale veterans (N = 67) completed the Warrior Identity Scale as well as various measures of mental health and wellbeing.ResultsThe hypotheses were supported in that more positive views of one’s social identity (i.e., more private regard) predicted sig-nificantly fewer post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, less depression, suicidal ideation, anxiety, stress, and more perceived social support. More public regard, on the other hand, was related to more PTSD symptoms.ConclusionsThis research adds to the growing work on the importance of social identity (as measured by public and private regard) in predicting mental health symptomatology among male veterans, which may act as important risk factors in clinical set-tings.

SPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS OF DIFFERENT BUILDING MATERIALS BY THE EYES OF LASER SCANNING
Authors: Kučerová Eva , Novotný Jan 
Published: March 2023

During the last few years, terrestrial laser scanning has become a standard method of data acquisition in close range domain. Full-waveform terrestrial laser scanning is a recent technology which is able to digitize and record the complete waveform of the backscattered echo. It gives additional information about the structure and physical backscattering properties of the illuminated surface (reflectance and geometry). In this paper, the influence of different materials on the reflectivity was studied. The factors influencing material reflectivity were: laser wavelength, surface material type, surface colour and wetness. The measurements were focused on the materials used at buildings facades (wood, concrete and plaster). The measurements were performed by full-waveform terrestrial laser scanner (FW - TLS) VZ-400 and spectrometer ASD FieldSpec 4. The aim of this work was to find out what the differences in reflectance spectrum of used material were and whether the materials could be distinguished by their reflectance at 1550 nm (the laser wavelength of VZ-400).

DETECTION STEEL OF CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT - TEST OF SELECTED EQUIPMENT
Authors: Ďubek Marek , Bederka Marián , Grinč Michal 
Published: March 2023

At the rapid pace of construction currently under construction, there is a great deal of pressure on the contractor on the part of the investor. Adherence to endorsement dates is a priority but often only one contractor is assigned to a particular building by the contractor. Such a reassessment of the forces of the construction manager or his assistant may lead to construction failures. In the event of a breach, it is difficult to determine its origin - the cause. Examples are concrete structures where it is not easy to determine whether the reinforcement was made according to the design documentation. There are two possibilities of verifying the rigidity of the reinforcement, either destructively or using non-destructive methods using detector devices. The article describes the current possibilities of detecting reinforcement in already constructed constructions using selected detectors.
