Expérience, science et lutte contre la pauvreté (presque) quinze ans après
Authors: Duflo Esther 
Published: May 2023

Au cours des vingt dernières années, une nouvelle méthode d’étude du développement économique a émergé : l’approche expérimentale. Elle consiste à évaluer les politiques de lutte contre la pauvreté au moyen d’expériences pilotes menées avec la rigueur des essais cliniques. Quinze ans après sa première leçon inaugurale, Esther Duflo dresse le bilan des succès et des échecs de ces politiques dans le monde.

Malgré des évolutions constatées dans certains domaines, nous sommes aujourd’hui à un point de bascule : la pauvreté augmente et les conséquences du réchauffement climatique, dont les pays les plus défavorisés seront les premières victimes, menacent d’effacer la plupart des gains que nous pensions acquis. Quelles leçons en tirer face à l’urgence des problèmes auxquels sont confrontés les plus démunis ?
Histoires de spectres
Authors: Anantharaman Nalini 
Published: May 2023

Dans les années 1920, une théorie mathématique (la diagonalisation des matrices) et une question physique (la détermination du spectre des atomes), nées indépendamment, se sont rejointes pour donner naissance à la mécanique quantique et à la branche des mathématiques appelée « théorie spectrale ». Celle-ci intervient dans toute équation d’évolution linéaire, dont elle décompose les solutions en une superposition de solutions stationnaires dites « modes propres », qui vibrent à des « fréquences propres » : ces fréquences constituent le « spectre ».
Située à l’intersection de plusieurs communautés mathématiques, la géométrie spectrale vise à comprendre le lien entre la géométrie initiale d’un objet et son spectre de vibration. L’auteure entreprend de retracer l’histoire de ce domaine très actif à travers quelques grands thèmes de recherche passés et actuels.
The Public’s Perception of the Operating Standards of the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF): A Quantitative Inquiry
Authors: Bourne Paul Andrew , McLean Caroline , Peterkin Vincent M.S. , Fallah James , Foster Clifton 
Published: May 2023

Introduction: The Jamaica Defence Force (JDF), a military organization, collaborates with the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) to police society. The widespread and frequent engagement of the JDF in a paramilitary role results in regular interaction with the public. No existing studies in the current literature have examined the public’s perception of the operating standards of the JDF. Objective: This study seeks to evaluate and explore the JDF from an operational standpoint. The Operations Management Theory (OMT) is used to examine whether the public’s perception of the operating standards of the JDF has changed in the last decade (2012 -2022). Methods and materials: This research employed a national cross-sectional web-based descriptive research design. Data collection occurred from July 13, 2022, to August 11, 2022. Using the 2019 population of Jamaica obtained from the Statistical Institute of Jamaica, with a 3.4% margin of error and 95% confidence interval, the calculated sample size is 831 resident Jamaicans. The response rate was 82.1% (n=762). Findings: The majority of the sampled respondents were Jamaicans (97.1%, n=766), resided in Jamaica (88.9%, n=700), females (59.6%, n=472), and resided in Manchester (19.2%, 150). Of the Jamaicans (n=764), 89.3% (n=682) of them reside in Jamaica compared to 10.7% (n=82) reside outside. Furthermore, 89.3% of Jamaicans resided in Jamaica compared to 77.3% of non-Jamaicans (?2 (1) = 3.125, P = 0.077). The findings indicate that people have lost respect for the JDF in the last 6 months. Discussion: The people’s perception of the operating standards of the JDF will provide an understanding of crime management challenges in Jamaica. Combined with effective management and implementation of strategies to meet the intended mission and vision, the JDF should consider image rebranding to address the decline in public perception and trust. Conclusion: Despite the traditional military structure of the Jamaica Defence Force, the organization has been deployed on the streets of Jamaica by political administrations to curb and remedy the difficulty of policing society, and this explains a justification for a public assessment of this organization. The public is indecisive on whether the Jamaica Defence Force is too frequently used jointly with the Police Constabulary Force to police the streets of Jamaica as well as being neutral on the overall operating standards of the organization.
Ideal Traffic Accident Crime Case Resolution based on Restorative Justice

Published: May 2023

· This study focuses on the first problem of solving traffic accident criminal cases that have been applied in law enforcement and how to reconstruct the ideal traffic accident crime resolution based on a restorative justice approach. The method used in this study is normative juridical research with a research approach in the form of a normative approach. The result of this study is that the settlement of criminal cases of traffic violations in Indonesia to date (ius constitutum), basically still prioritizes conventional legal approaches and criminal sanctions. Cases of traffic accident violations are processed and resolved within the framework of the criminal justice system normally, starting from the police, prosecutor's office, and court levels, according to the criminal procedure law, (2) Reconstruction of the settlement of traffic accident violations is very likely to be applied in Indonesia with several non-litigation models (mediation), namely the independent perpetrator-victim mediation approach and perpetrator-victim mediation involving law enforcement (restorative justice agencies). Settlement efforts through the courts can only be pursued if restorative efforts fail to reach an agreement. With these results, it is suggested: (1) The police, prosecutors, and courts should be more intensive to socialize and provide education related to the application of restorative justice, especially for traffic accident crimes, (2) The principle of restorative justice needs to be realized in the main legal form, namely a law that comprehensively and integratively covers the regulation of all components of the criminal justice system.

Nationalism and defending of state are closely related. Nationalism is pride in one's own nation that offers insight into nationalism, which is described as a form of 'patriotism'; a pride when individuals identify themselves as a collectivity in a nation. The defending of state is a form of a sense of belonging to citizens which is an important aspect to maintain the existence of a nation-state. Defending of state has a very broad dimension, and not limited to physical elements, but essentially is the inculcation of nationalist values. The issues raised are related to defending of state through the cultivation of a spirit of nationalism and its implications for the process of national integration. The method used here is to observe various literature related to the subject matter raised, either in the form of books, papers or useful writings so that they can be used as guidelines in the research process. This research focuses on the study and analysis of defending the country through strengthening the values of nationalism based on a sense of belonging, and its relation to the process of national integration. The results of this study indicate that defending the country is based on a strong awareness of being a state, so that people in a country can uphold their country and are willing to defend it from various threats. Defending of state is an important tool for the success of the national integration process which is a form of state existence that can be maintained.

The problems and research objectives taken include reviewing and analyzing the legal ratio of arrangements for notaries as public officials to be bankrupt, reviewing and analyzing temporary dismissals of notaries in accordance with the principle of legal certainty and reviewing and analyzing future arrangements for temporary dismissals as a result of being declared bankrupt. The research method used is legal research. The problem approach used in this research is the statute approach, conceptual approach and comparative approach. The sources of legal materials used are primary, secondary and non-legal legal materials. The results of the study conclude first, that notaries are public officials who are given directly by the state. Has special features that are different from other public officials. The position given by a Notary by issuing a legal product in the form of an authentic deed in providing services to the community. So that all legal products issued by a Notary have binding legal consequences because they can be used as evidence. Notaries are required to provide good services and good behavior. Notaries who have problems, such as being sentenced to temporary dismissal to dishonorable dismissal due to tripping over a bankruptcy case. This will affect the authentic deed he made. Second, the temporary dismissal of notaries involved in bankruptcy as stipulated in UUJN does not provide legal certainty and is considered vague. When referring to the Bankruptcy Law and PKPU, temporary dismissal sanctions cannot be applied because the bankrupt object is deemed not in accordance with this law, and notaries who are bankrupt under this law are not included in the legal subject matter of the Bankruptcy Law and PKUPU. Third, future arrangements regarding the temporary dismissal of a Notary due to being declared bankrupt have occurred disharmony in the application of the Bankruptcy Law and PKPU regulated in the UUJN. UUJN should pay attention to one of the principles applied in the Bankruptcy Law and PKPU, namely the principle of business continuity.

Task-based language learning has been proved to be effective on improving learners’ skills, especially speaking skills; however, studies of this approach on English as a foreign language (EFL) students at English language centers in Can Tho city, Vietnam, are still limited. Task-based lessons are developed in several English course books used by those centers, but students’ speaking skills are observed to be far from satisfactory. This research was carried out so as to investigate leaners’ accuracy improvement under the influence of task-based approach. It was also aimed at finding out some challenges faced by participants while doing the assigned tasks. The study was conducted on 60 EFL students of a selected English language center in Can Tho City. They were equally divided into two groups: the experimental and the control group. Research instruments included a speaking test used a pre-test and post-test. Quantitative data was analyzed by the SPSS. The results showed that the speaking accuracy of students in experimental group was significantly improved, while the control group students made a limited progress.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0008/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
A STUDY OF GHANAIAN HAUSA PERSONAL NAMES
Authors: Murtalah Mohammed 
Published: May 2023

<p>This study attempts at undertaking a comprehensive study of personal names among Ghanaian Hausa. It particularly looks at the socio-pragmatic usage of the Hausa names. This paper argues that the Hausa give names to their children by considering the social, cultural, and religious philosophy of the Hausa speech community. The philosophy behind these Hausa naming practices goes a long way to help in the peculiar identity of the Ghanaian Hausa. This, to a very large extent, hints that there is a link between names and personal identity as far as naming practices among the Hausa in particular, and Africans in general are concerned. The study, using interview, observation and the researcher’s introspection as a data collection method and Linguistic Relativity as a theoretical framework, reveals three categories of names used by the Ghanaian Hausa. These are Judeo-Islamo-Christian names, Hausa names of Arabic origin and Hausa traditional names.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0077/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Mhoti Precious , Nhedzi Emmanuel , Mapira Jemitias 
Published: May 2023

This study investigates household e-waste management practices at Ward 9, Gwanda in Zimbabwe. A descriptive cross-sectional study design was used in which a sample of 125 participants was selected through random sampling with the aim of determining the nature, quantities and management practices of electronic waste in the study area. Data was collected through the use of a pre-tested questionnaire and key informant interviews. Observation pictures were also taken to document the methods used by households to manage the e-waste. Collected data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 and presented using tables and graphs. The study found that on average each household unit generated the following quantities and types of e-waste: electrical irons (0.68±0.68), kettles (0.53±0.50), stoves (0.34±0.54), televisions (0.26±0.44) and decoders (0.18±0.44). With regards to household e-waste management, 54.4% of the participants reported that they disposed of it in designated sites, 24.8 % kept it at their homes, 15.2 % burnt or incinerated it and only 5.2 % sold it to recyclers. In light of these findings, this investigation concludes that residents use unsustainable household e-waste management practices which may endanger their environment and personal health. The study recommends that waste managers of Gwanda municipality and the Environmental Management Agency should (i) conduct e-waste awareness campaigns to households in order to improve on management practices, (ii) develop a sound e-waste management strategy, and (iii) consider strengthening the efforts on e-waste recycling.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0007/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: May 2023

The downfall of banks and financial institutions and the freezing of capital markets during the global financial crisis of 2007–2009 had a significant influence on the actual economy across the world. This crisis has made it apparent how crucial stability risk is and has emphasized the significance of performance evaluation. For the policy formulation and framing of strategies, it is essential to identify the sound and weaker aspects of the banks. Various ratios based models have been developed for the analyses of the banking sector, which helps in identification of strength and weakness of the banks. This study makes use of the CAMEL Model to analyze the different aspects of performance and soundness as well as the impact of the CAMEL ratios contributing to the efficiency of the selected public and private sector banks for the period of 17 years from 2005-2006 to 2021-2022. Based on the composite rating of the CAMEL Models, It has been found that HDFC bank Ltd. shows excellent performance. The study concluded that In order to be more efficient, selected public sector banks should concentrate on the value of NPAs and Liquidity and at the same time, these banks should pay attention to the Earnings Quality but not by compromising the efficiency of earnings while the selected Private sector banks should take proper steps to improve the operating profit, net profit, total interest income and net interest margin for becoming more efficient.
The association of FSHR gene polymorphism (rs6166) with the risk of oligoasthenozoospermia incidence in Iraqi patients
Authors: N. Kadhum Nada , A. Abdul Hassan Ismail 
Published: May 2023

Introduction and Aim: Male infertility is a complicated multifactorial pathological disease with widely disparate symptoms, ranging from the complete lack of spermatozoa to alterations in sperm quality. Genetic factors account for at least 15% of male infertility. An increasing number of gene polymorphisms have been proposed to alter the efficacy of spermatogenesis based on association studies. The goal of this study is to investigate whether the genotype of the FSHR gene associated SNP rs6166 is associated with Iraqi men's risk for oligoasthenozoospermia.

Materials and Methods: SNP rs6166 was genotyped by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR).

Results: In accordance with FSHR genes rs6166 G>A (Ser 680Asn) SNP, the frequency of homozygous AA in fertile men was significantly lower than in oligoasthenozoospermic patients. By contrast, there was a notable increase in the occurrence of homozygous GG genotype among fertile males when compared to those diagnosed with oligoasthenozoospermia. There were no statistically significant variations in the frequency percentage of heterozygous GA genotypes between the group of fertile male participants and the group of oligoasthenozoospermic patients.

Conclusion: The results showed a significant decrease in testosterone concentration in oligoasthenozoospermic patients. The FSHR rs6166 polymorphism (AA) was found to contribute to individual susceptibility to oligoasthenozoospermia in a group of Iraqi patients.

Authors: Saleh Jalil Idriss , Qassim Mohammad Sarmad , Khazal Mohsen Abdullah , Abdullah Laftaah Al-Rubaii Bahaa 
Published: May 2023

Introduction and Aim: Proteus mirabilis is an opportunistic pathogen, infecting humans, through the release of endotoxins and enzymes such as urease, hemolysin, protease, DNase etc. One of the factors contributing to its virulence is its unusual ability to form crystalline biofilms. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Mentha spicata volatile oil on P. mirabilis biofilm formation.

Materials and Methods: P. mirabilis was isolated from infected wound of burns of patients using conventional biochemical tests. Vitek 2-Compact System was used to confirm the diagnosis of bacterial isolates. The isolates were tested for their susceptibility to 11 antibiotics. Aqueous and alcoholic extracts as well as Volatile Oil and natural Menthol extracted from M. spicata were tested for their ability to inhibit biofilm formation by P. mirabilis.

Results: In this study 16 out of the 45 burn injury samples were tested positive for P. mirabilis. Bacterial isolates were found to be resistant to the drugs Levofloxacin and Norfloxacin, with percentages of 10.2% and 11.8%, respectively. Majority of these isolates had the capacity to produce several virulence factors, including biofilm in variable amounts and the enzymes protease, hemolysin, DNase, and gelatinase. The volatile oil and natural component menthol extracted from M. spicata inhibited the formation of biofilm at increasing concentrations.

Conclusion: The volatile oil and the natural menthol compound of M. spicata are effective in inhibiting biofilm formation by P. mirabilis.
