Authors: MUTISO URBANUS KIOKO , OCHIRI Dr. GEORGE 
Published: January 2023

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to assess the influence of supplier evaluation criteria on procurement performance of non-governmental organizations in Kenya with an aim of making recommendations on proper use of supplier evaluation.Methodology: This research study adopted a descriptive research design approach. The researcher preferred this method because it allowed an in-depth study of the subject. The target population was 168 heads of procurement. The 2018 NGO coordination board directory has a listing of all the 168 NGO’s spread all over the country. The study will combine two methods in its data collection that is, questionnaires and key informant interviews. After data collection, quantitative data was coded using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20. Data was analyzed through descriptive statistical methods such as means, standard deviation, frequencies and percentage. Inferential analyses were used in relation to correlation analysis and regression analysis to test the relationship between the four explanatory variables and the explained variable.Results: The independent variables reported R value of .846 indicating that there is perfect relationship between dependent variable and independent variables. R square value of 0.716 which means that 71.6% of the corresponding variation in procurement performance of the non-governmental organizations can be explained or predicted by (supplier commitment to quality, supplier financial status, supplier technical expertise, supplier basic profile) which indicated that the model fitted the study data. The results of regression analysis revealed that there was a significant positive relationship between dependent variable and independent variable at (β = 1.240), p=0.00 <0.05).Conclusion: The response rate of the study was 71%. The findings of the study indicated that supplier commitment to quality, supplier financial status, supplier technical expertise and supplier basic profile have a positive relationship with procurement performance of NGO’s in KenyaContribution to theory, practice and policy: the study recommended that NGO’s should embrace supplier evaluation criteria so as to improve procurement performance and further researches should to be carried out in other institutions to find out if the same results can be obtained.

Published: January 2023

Purpose: The study was carried out to investigate the effect of climate change and weather-variability perception on yam production in Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State, Nigeria. The specific objectives were to: describe the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents in the study area; identify the perceptions of yam farmers on climate change in the study area; identify the adaptation strategies adopted by farmers in the study; determine the cost and return of farmers; determine the effect of climate change variables perception on yam output.
Methodology: Multi –stage sampling procedure was used in the selection of respondents in the study area. A total of 120 respondents were selected for this study. Descriptive statistics, Gross Margin analysis, Likert Rating Scale, Multiple Regression Analysis were used to analyze data collected from the field.
Findings: The study revealed that 38.0% of the yam farmers fell within the ages of 36 and 45 years. This implies that yam farmers in the study area are relatively young and energetic which enhance sustainable production. Gross Margin analysis revealed that yam production is profitable as it leaves a profit margin of N31995 for each farmer in the study area. Likert Rating Scale showed that majority of the respondents had a high perception on climate change but there is need for more sensitization of yam farmers on climate change. Multiple Regression Analysis showed that there is a significant relationship between climate change variables perception and yam output which rejects the hypothesis of this study.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommended among others that there is need for government to sensitize farmers on climate change and provide them with reasonable adaptation options to mitigate the negative effects of climate change on Agricultural production.
EGYPT IN THE EYES OF THE FIRST FRENCH PHOTOGRAPHERS
Authors: Salama Dr. Yousra Mohamed 
Published: January 2023

The French invasion of Egypt sparked a national passion for all of Egypt's ancient Pharaonic history. Napoleon not only came to invade Egypt, but brought with him more than 150 scientists, cartographers, artists, naturalists and even musicians and painters; Observing the details of ancient sites and existing customs, the result was the huge work "Description of Egypt", published between 1809 and 1829, in twenty volumes, containing about 900 inscriptions. The French scientist François Arago (1786 - 1853) regretted that photography had not been invented yet. As he announced in Paris on January 7, 1839, he invented the photographic design designed by Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre to copy millions of hieroglyphs covering the exterior of the great monuments at Thebes, Memphis, Karnak, etc., you'll need decades of hordes of painters, but with the invention of Daguerre, one person is enough to do so.In announcing the invention of photography, Arago pledged to harness this invention in the service of science - and was intended to replace the cartoons of the book Description of Egypt; The attention of photographers, they showed the beauty of the region, as well as recording the landmarks of this civilization. These early photographers also presented a series of unique images of Egypt, thereby deepening the French public's sense of the greatness of the Egyptian civilization, and the world in general, with the legacy they documented. Thousands of years ago, they have stimulated those who will come after them to see all these tourist places, and the interest in the region, which has already increased with the development in the process of photography, which contributed to the increase of desire and see those places and take pictures of them.
JUSTICE AND ITS ADMINISTRATION IN IGBOLAND BEFORE THE DAWN OF	THE PRESENT MILLENNIUM
Authors: Rex Obiwuru Chidera 
Published: January 2023

Justice, one of the requisites for a healthy society, is not novel in Igbo land. Its presence in Igbo land prior to the 2000s is undeniable. Put differently, there has been administration of justice virtually in all facets of life in Igbo society even before the white man’s “Santa Marias” and conveyances landed on the shores and borders of Eastern Nigeria. Igbo maxims such as onye ruo, o rie (idlers should know no pay/no work, no pay); egbe bere, ugo bere; nke siri ibe ya ebena nku kwaya (let the affluent as well as the indigent live; but let any between them that opposes the other’s existence be the first to be ostracized/exited); ochu nwa okuko nwe ada; nwa okuko nwe oso (he who tries to harm the innocent must end up harming himself); ihe onye metara, o buru (whatsoever one’s actions are, one must face the consequences); e mere nwata ka emere ibe ya, obi adi ya nma (all should be treated equally for peace’s sake), etc. abound. Be that as it may, this paper seeks to painstakingly look at justice from the set of Igbo binoculars; that is, how it was perceived by and its importance to the Igbo people. It also scrutinized the various institutions responsible for and aid in the administration of justice in Igbo society before now. All in all, some negative changes that have occurred in the Igbo society in the present millennium in respect to administration of justice is not left unconsidered.

Purpose: This study examined determinants of students’ examination corruption at the College of Distance Education (CoDE), University of Cape Coast (UCC), Ghana.
Methodology: The participants of the study included students, Regional Coordinators (RCs), and staff of the Examination Unit at CoDE. A sample of 252 students was selected from an accessible population of 3,095 using a proportionate stratified sampling technique. The questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. Data were analysed with frequency and percentage counts, standard deviations, and presented in tables supported with transcribed views expressed by the RCs and the Head of Exams Unit (HEU).
Findings: The study's findings revealed that examination malpractice was perceived to be a common illegal behaviour among students. The study also found that deviant students engage in examination malpractices at CoDE due to inadequate preparation for examinations.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: It was recommended that the management of the college should sensitise all stakeholders, particularly candidates on the sanctions stipulated in their Students’ Handbook for culprits of examination corruption related activities. Also, the college should make study materials available to students on time to fully prepare for all exams.

Authors: Iyabode OJO Olabimpe 
Published: January 2023

Purpose: Comparative study of effect of sprouting on amino acid in white Sorghum Bicolor and Pennisetum Glaucum
Methodology:The utilization of plant-derived foods as functional ingredients in food system continues to be of research interest as a purpose of achieving good health and well-being, target 3 of sustainable development goals (SDGs). Standard methods involving combined classical protein hydrolysis and derivatization with fast separation by Ultra High Performance Liquid chromatography (UHPLC) and detection by a single quadrupole (QDa) mass spectrometer were used to analyze Sorghum bicolor and Pennisetum glaucum for amino acid profile before and after sprouting.
Results: The data showed that eighteen amino acids were determined in all, which includes the essential for the growth of the infants, semi-essential amino acids and the nonessential amino acids (Harper, 1989). The levels in the sample were ranged as follows; unsprouted raw white sorghum bicolor seed flour (1.86±0.07-17.6±0.15), sprouted white Sorghum bicolor seed flour (1.93±0.06-17.7±0.08) unsprouted Pennisetum glaucum (1.86±0.07-17.7±0.09) sprouted Pennisetum glaucum (2.07±0.02-17.8±0.07) .The CV% for the values ranged between 0.26-74.2%. The cereals are very rich in ceucine and deficient in methionine and Tryptophan. TAA, TEAA with his, TEA without his, TNEAA, TArAA, TAAA, TBAA, TNAA, TSAA, %TEAA with his in the amino acid profile for white
Sorghum bicolordecreased in level after sprouting while TNEAA increased after sprouting. All the quality parameters level increased in Pennisetum glaucum after sprouting. The result of the research showed that Sorghum bicolor and Pennisetum glaucum seeds flours, especially the sprouted ones contains appreciable amount of essential amino acid which made them to be a good source of quality parameter of amino acid. This could be relied upon as a good cheap for supplement of essential amino acid in food in order to solve the problems of protein energy malnutrition which could be very useful in infant food production and also for the production of cookies for diabetic patients.
Unique Contribution to Theory and Practice: From the current research work, Sorghum bicolor and Pennisetum glaucum seeds flours are good source of quality parameter of amino acid especially the sprouted ones which could be relied upon as a good cheap for supplement of essential amino acid in food in order to solve the problems of protein energy malnutrition

Published: January 2023

The objective of this study was to determine the expression of ER-A and PR-A in the oviduct and uterus of pseudo-pregnant rabbits after induced by several induction methods of pseudo-pregnancy. This study used 30 local rabbits, aged 1 - 1.5 years, body weight of 2.8 - 3.0 kg and clinically healthy. Rabbits were divided into 6 groups (n = 5), namely: K1 (negative control, given 1.5 mL physiological NaCl injection), K2 (positive control, given 100 IU eCG injection and mated with male rabbits, followed by 75 IU hCG injection 3 days later), K3 (given 100 IU eCG injection followed by injection of 75 IU hCG 3 days later), K4 (artificial copulation was performed by inserting a 1 cm long cotton bud into the rabbit’s vagina), K5 (ovulation induction by injection of 50 IU hCG) and K6 (ovulation induction by injection of 5 g GnRH). On the 8th day after treatment, rabbits were euthanized and their oviduct and uterus organs were taken for histological preparation and stained using the immunohistochemical staining. The expression of ER-A and PR-A was valued using the intensity score and analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test followed the Mann Whitney U test. The expression ER-A in the infundibulum, ampullary and isthmus of K1 was significantly different (p < 0.05) from K2 - K6 rabbits. The ER-A expression in the endometrium of uterine horn of K1 and K3 was significantly different with K2, K4, K5 and K6 rabbits (p < 0.05). Furthermore, PR-A expression in oviducts of K1 and K3 was lower than that in K2, K3, K5 and K6 (p < 0.05) and the expression in the endometrium, uterine glands and myometrium of K2 - K6 was higher than K1 rabbits (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the hormonal induction could be used to induce pseudopregnancy in local rabbits based on the ER-A and PR-A expressions in oviduct and uterus.
HIGHLIGHTS

Pseudo-pregnant rabbits are needed for research purposes in the field of reproduction
Several methods of induction of pseudo-pregnancy in rabbits have been carried out in this study
Pseudo-pregnancy induction cause changes in the concentration of reproductive hormones (progesterone and estrogen)
These changes can be detected based on the presence of receptors for these two hormones (PRA and ERα) in reproductive tract of four groups of rabbits and the results were then evaluated

Atanmış Mirasçıların ve Muayyen Mal Vasiyeti Lehdarının Murisin Vergisel Borçlarından Sorumluluğu
Authors: ATEŞAĞAOĞLU Erdem , SAKLAN Ali 
Published: January 2023

Ölüm olayı üzerine murisin mirasçılarına geçecek terekesinde, çeşitli malvarlıkları kalabileceği gibi çeşitli borçlarda kalabilmektedir. Bu borçlar kapsamında mirasçıların birtakım sorumlulukları gündeme gelebilmektedir. Bu sorumluluk, murisin vergisel borçlarından kaynaklı da olabilmektedir. İşte ölenin vergisel borçlarından kaynaklı bu vergisel sorumluluk, gerek 213 sayılı Vergi Usul Kanunu’nun 12. maddesine göre gerekse de 6183 sayılı Amme Alacaklarının Tahsil Usulü Hakkında Kanun’un 7. maddesinin içeriğinde belirtilen şekilde mirasçılara geçebilmektedir.
Bu noktada; yasal mirasçılar haricinde, muris tarafından yapılmış birtakım ölüme bağlı tasarruflar yoluyla atanmış mirasçılar veya muayyen mal vasiyeti lehdarları da murisin terekesinde hak iddia edebilmektedirler. Yasal mirasçılar haricinde sayılan bu kişilerin murisin terekesinde söz sahibi olabilecekleri gibi kimi zaman terekeden kaynaklı borçlardan sorumlulukları (bu sorumluluk çalışmamızda vergisel sorumluluk olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır) bulunmaktadır. Çalışmamızda cevabını aradığımız temel soru da burada karşımıza çıkmıştır. Bu soru ise, mirasın taksiminde murisin yasal mirasçıları dışında kalan diğer hak sahiplerinin (atanmış mirasçılar ve muayyen mal vasiyeti lehdarları) de vergisel borçlardan sorumlu olup olmayacaklarıdır?
Çalışmanın ana amacı bu soruya cevap aramak olmuştur. Diğer bir ifadeyle, murisin yasal mirasçıları dışındaki atanmış mirasçılar ve muayyen mal vasiyeti lehdarlarının murisin vergisel borçlarından sorumluluğu yasal mevzuat doğrultusunda çeşitli senaryolar altında değerlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır.

Finding Our Strengths: Recognizing Professional Bias and Interrogating Systems
Authors: Patten Kristie K. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
No one builds their lives on remediated weaknesses. No one. Who does a deficits-based approach benefit? Those we serve, or the professional community? Do our current models of practice support flourishing? Our professional biases make it hard for us to see not only how our practice may be getting it wrong today but is also perpetuating systems that prevent us from getting it right tomorrow. A paradigm shift to a strengths-based model that interrogates the educational, research, and practice systems we work in is proposed. It is a shift that we must see, speak, and act on. Our vulnerability and willingness to rethink is our strength, which will meet the changing needs of society. This lecture will draw on literature from positive psychology, disability justice, well-being, and research that centers the voice of self-advocates.

Ідентифікація проблем і перспективи розвитку соціальної інфраструктури сільських територій України
Authors: Tymoshenko Mykola 
Published: January 2023

Мета. Мета статті – оцінка сучасного стану соціальної інфраструктури сільських територій України, ідентифікація проблем та обґрунтування стратегічних орієнтирів розвитку на основі кореляційно-регресійного аналізу залежності сталості сільського розвитку від соціальних умов.
Методологія / методика / підхід. Теоретико-методологічною основою дослідження є діалектичний, системний і синергетичний науковий підходи, використання яких у вивченні сільського розвитку зумовлено орієнтацією на побудову євроорієнтованого суспільства в Україні. У процесі дослідження використані такі наукові методи: абстрактно-логічний, зокрема прийоми індукції та дедукції, аналогії та співставлення; операціоналізації понять; метод теоретичного узагальнення та аналізу й синтезу; різноманітні прийоми економіко-статистичного методу (статистичне спостереження, порівняння, табличний); кореляційно-регресійний аналіз та ін.
Результати. Розкрито науково-теоретичні засади формування та розвитку соціальної інфраструктури села як важливого чинника, що забезпечує соціально-культурні та житлово-побутові умови сільського населення з метою гарантування відтворення робочої сили та підвищення якості життя сільського населення. Установлено, що за період ринкової трансформації аграрного сектора відбулась руйнація соціальної сфери села, яка стала наслідком безсистемного, некомплексного та часто непрофесійного вирішення завдань аграрної реформи в Україні. Доведено, що саме кореляційно-регресійні моделі кількісної оцінки дозволяють виявити міру та першочерговість впливу окремих екзогенних та ендогенних чинників на сталість розвитку сільських територій, і, як наслідок – забезпечать ефективне вирішення виявлених проблем.
Оригінальність / наукова новизна отриманих результатів полягає в удосконаленні методичного підходу до комплексної оцінки соціально-економічного стану сільських територій на основі застосування багатофакторних кореляційно-регресійних моделей і визначення корелятивності зв’язку між соціальними чинниками, які безпосередньо впливають на сталість сільського розвитку.
Практична цінність / значущість полягає в тому, що отримані результати сприятимуть розробці чітких орієнтирів щодо введення в дію нових та оновлення наявних закладів, організацій та установ усіх галузей сфери соціально-побутового обслуговування, інженерних комунікацій тощо, які б забезпечили якісно новий рівень життя та добробуту сільських мешканців.
