The Entrepreneurship Potential of Rural Areas: Soap Production as a Side Business for Tanzanian Rice Farmers
Authors: Tsuchiya Y. , Swai T. A. , Takahashi K. , Wakamatsu T. , Watari R. , Nsenga J.V. 
Published: January 2023

Purpose: This study examines soap production’s entrepreneurship potential and profitability as a supplementary business for rural rice farmers in Tanzania to promote their economic independence.
Design/ Methodology/ Approach: We randomly sampled and interviewed about ten small-scale soap manufacturers in urban Tanzania gathered from 2019-2021 to develop a soap production business strategy for rural farmers at a similar scale. Considering the Voronoi theory, we calculated the distance from the rural areas to urban centres to determine the transportation costs, which particularly burden rural farmers. Soap production costs and profitability were determined based on transportation costs and raw material prices.
Findings: Rural farmers would incur high transportation costs, given the high average distance to the nearest urban centre (sometimes > 100 km). Nevertheless, producing their rice bran oil, valuable raw material for soap production, would give them a competitive advantage over urban producers.
Research Limitation: The study’s proposed strategy can be applied to similar contexts to reduce the urban-rural entrepreneurship divide.
Practical Implication: Soaps made using rice bran oil help farmers reuse agricultural waste. Their active ingredients also increase their marketability as high-end cosmetic products, providing farmers with additional income.
Social Implication: Commercializing agricultural residues such as rice bran increases farmers’ revenues and reduces CO2 emissions by preventing the residues’ incineration; this creates a virtuous cycle in society.
Originality/ Value: This study presents a more realistic business strategy for rural Tanzanian farmers, as, unlike previous studies, it considers not only direct costs but also transportation costs.

Published: January 2023

Purpose: The study sought to examine the impact of institutional textiles research on the textile industry in Ghana to make feasible projections towards the effective implementation of research findings for the revitalization and sustainability of the Ghana textile industry.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Adopting the quantitative evaluation research methods with questionnaires and interviews as the main instrumentation for data collection. Purposive sampling and stratified random sampling techniques were used to select 142 respondents. Though, only 54 respondents participated in the research.. The data was analysed descriptively using frequency.
Findings: The study revealed that despite the upsurge of research works with concrete and feasible recommendations in curbing the challenges of the textile factories, the lack of industry/academia collaboration is what impedes the effective implementation of these research findings to address the issues.
Research Limitation: The study focused on two major large-scale textile factories in Ghana; Tex Styles Ghana Limited (TGL) and Akosombo Textiles Limited (ATL) alongside research publications of Ghanaian institutions of high repute like KNUST, Takoradi Technical University, University of Education, University of Cape Coast and the University of Ghana were targeted for the study.
Practical Implication: There should be a strong partnership between industry and academia through collaborative research, a policy on the implementation of research findings, allocation of funds for textile researchers and a monitoring system by the government to ensure full implementation of research findings.
Social Implication: The study, therefore, calls on the government to monitor these policies to ensure that they are in full effective operation and implemented to the highest peak.
Originality/ value: the findings of this study provide numerous recommendations by academic institutions of higher learning aimed at revamping the declining industry which when fully implemented will help boost the rise of the industries.

This research focuses on the professional development of teachers in rural areas based on digital literacy. It aims to measure the existing digital literacy and competence of rural teachers in Indonesia, Russia, and the Middle East and to assess the extent of digital literacy training provided to rural teachers for their professional development in these regions. In pursuit of this objective, a quantitative research method was incorporated into the study. The survey was conducted specifically for the research, and SPSS was used for statistical analysis. The report reflected the challenges that digitalization faces in rural areas and the differences in the provision of digital literacy training in Indonesia, Russia, and the Middle East. Various limitations are identified as hampering the integration of digital literacy in underdeveloped areas, such as the lack of proper digital infrastructure. However, the situation was found to be somewhat better in the case of Russia, with the teachers reporting the provision of adequate hardware and infrastructure, which were lacking in the cases of Indonesia and the Middle East. The same pattern was found in the case of the provision of digital literacy training opportunities in Indonesia and the Middle East, which lag behind Russia. All in all, it is imperative to develop introductory courses for using the internet and their general application for teachers in rural areas. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2022-06-06-019 Full Text: PDF

In the era of digitalization of education and economy and the development of artificial intelligence, adolescents appear highly competitive compared with other generations in understanding digital technologies, acquiring expertise, and mastering modern means of communication, which normally causes intergenerational conflicts and the loss of an adult’s personal and functional authority. The aim of this research was to develop and test a model for developing adolescents’ communicative cultures in an institution of additional education. The research emphasizes the significance of personality-oriented, interactive-communicative, and cultural approaches and conducts a comparative analysis of the sources. Methodologically, the study relies on a quantitative method with primary sources. Besides, the findings of the study contribute to the existing limited stress on the importance of adolescents’ communicative cultures from the perspective of the digitalization of additional education. The study finds that the use of digital options in education has reduced social interaction among students. However, the students prefer to use digital methods of learning as they find them more convenient for communication. Therefore, the digital communication culture has high potential in the educational sector. The findings are novel as this study is one of the few recent studies that examined how communicative culture has transformed due to digital means in education.

Comparison of stone clearance rate and need of nephrostomy in conventional versus mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
Authors: Muhammad Jafar  , Syed Wajid Ali , Khalid Sana 
Published: January 2023

Background: The increased renal stone size affects the stone clearance rate and the need for nephrostomy in (Percutaneous nephrolithotomy) PCNL. Also, complete stone clearance of bulky renal calculi causes blood loss during PCNL, resulting in hemoglobin drop and sometimes requiring transfusion. This is a frequently encountered phenomenon and is quite problematic for urologists and patients. This study aimed to determine the rate of stone clearance and nephrostomy needed in Mini-PCNL over Conventional PCNL.
Methodology: A comparative study was conducted at the urology department of PIMS, Islamabad. A total of eighty (n=80) adult patients of either gender between ages 18-65 years were enrolled. Subjects enrolled had radiographic evidence of renal stones of > 1cm. Group A patients underwent conventional PCNL procedures, and Group B patients underwent Mini PNCL. The rates of stone clearance nephrostomy needed were compared between the two study groups.
Results: The mean age of study participants in group A was (33.7 ± 12.1) and in group B (36.5 ± 11.1). The mean sizes of the stone were 2.4 cm and 2.7 cm in groups A and B, respectively. X-rays were used to assess the stone clearance rate on the first operative day in both study groups. Stones were cleared in group-A at 87.5% (n=35) and in group B at 82.5% (n=33). Nephrostomy was needed in group A at 50.0% (n=20) and in group B at 47.5% (n=19).
Conclusion: The stone clearance rate and the need for a nephrostomy tube were nearly similar in both intervention groups.

Abstract. The phenomenon of class separation is one of the rules that are often found in educational institutions in the form of Islamic boarding schools, the process is carried out by distinguishing learning spaces for men and women because of special restrictions that refer to Islamic teachings. This study aims to determine the impact of class separation on interpersonal communication skills. This study uses qualitative research using descriptive-analytical methods, as well as using interpersonal communication theory. This class separation is carried out based on the teachings of Islam, namely the Koran and the sunnah which stipulates that men and women are not allowed to be in the same environment. The learning process in accordance with Islamic teachings is not to provide space for students to ikhtilath. The impacts include the growing awareness within oneself that there are limits that must be maintained in establishing communication between men and women, while the negative impact is giving awkwardness when in the end you have to communicate with the opposite sex, and even causing excessive curiosity about the opposite sex.
Abstrak. Fenomena pemisahan kelas adalah salah satu aturan yang sering dijumpai di lembaga pendidikan berupa pesantren, prosesnya dilakukan dengan membedakan ruang pembelajaran santri laki-laki dan perempuan sebab adanya pembatasan khusus yang mengacu pada ajaran Islam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dampak yang ditimbulkan dari pemisahan kelas terhadap kemampuan komunikasi antarpribadi. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif-analitis, serta menggunakan teori komunikasi antarpribadi. Pemisahan kelas ini dilakukan dengan berlandaskan ajaran Islam yakni al-Quran dan sunah yang mensyari'atkan bahwa laki-laki dan perempuan tidak dibenarkan untuk berada dalam satu lingkungan. Proses pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan ajaran Islam ialah tidak memberikan ruang bagi peserta didiknya untuk berikhtilath. Dampak yang ditimbulkan diantaranya adalah tumbuhnya kesadaran dalam diri pribadi bahwa ada batasan yang harus dijaga dalam menjalin komunikasi antara laki-laki dan perempuan, sedangkan dampak negatifnya adalah memberikan kecanggungan ketika pada akhirnya harus melakukan komunikasi dengan lawan jenis, dan bahkan menimbulkan penasaran berlebih terhadap lawan jenis.
