The Mediating Role of Management Functions (Planning, Implementation, and Control) in Influencing the Restoration of Limoto Wetland
Authors: Kameri Ochoko John , Luyiga Suzan , Barasa Bernad 
Published: May 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the gap between wetland management functions and the extent of wise use and sustainable harnessing of livelihood opportunities through restoration programs. This study contributes to the comprehension of wetland management functions concerning wetland restoration through the promotion of sustainable livelihoods.
Methodology: A cross-sectional research design was adopted. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected using Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and interviews. FGD was conducted with five groups of beneficiaries of livelihood options. Interviews were carried out with seven key informants who were thought to be knowledgeable about the wetland restoration alternative livelihood options. These included local council chairmen from communities near the wetland, village opinion leaders, district natural resources officers, IUCN Representatives, NEMA officials, and the wetland department.
Findings: Results showed a positive but insignificant relationship between planning function and restoration activities. Furthermore, results also indicated a negative significant relationship between implementation and restoration activities. Finally, findings revealed that there was a relationship between the control function and restoration activities. It was found out that Wetland restoration is a process that helps to transform the wetland area that has been impacted by human or natural activity into an area that can sustain native habitats. Wetlands cover 6% of global and 13% of Uganda's land cover. Over the past forty-five years, wetlands have lost 30% and 36% of land cover globally and in Uganda respectively.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice, and Policy: Many wetlands, particularly those in rural Uganda are, however, getting degraded through mainly conversion of land use to agriculture, exploitation, and settlements despite the existing resource management regime. The study recommends inclusive management functions to achieve a successful wetland restoration.
Kahramanmaraş, Adana ve Gaziantep Örnekleri Işığında Suriye-Zengi Üslubunun Mimariye Etkileri
Authors: KÖKSÖKEN Furkan , EKER Fevziye 
Published: May 2023

Nurettin Zengi döneminde (1118-1174) en parlak dönemini yaşayan Zengiler, mimariden ziyade mimari bezeme anlayışıyla ön plana çıkmaktadır.
Selçuklular'ın devamı olan Suriye ve Irak coğrafyasındaki Atabekler ve Zengiler devrinden bugüne kalan eserlere bakıldığında eserlerin Selçuklu üslubundan farklılaştığı görülür. Malzeme olarak taşın yoğun kullanıldığı bu üslupta Selçukluların kullandığı tuğla, alçı, terrakota ve çini bezemelerin yerini taş bordürler, kabartmalar, stalaktitler ve çok renkli mermer işçiliği almıştır. Suriye bölgesindeki mimari öğelerin, kemerlerde portallerde minarelerinde iki renkli taş bezemeler uygulanmış olup ayrıca büyük sülüs yazı frizleri, stalaktit kavsaralar, süslü kilit taşları yeni özellikleri arasındadır. Bağdat Tilsım kapısı ile Halep kale kapısının taş ejder kabartmalarında ve Musul Karasaray’ın (Bedreddin Lûlû devri 1233-59) alçı figürlü kabartmalarında görüldüğü gibi daha önce el sanatlarında fazlaca kullanılan figürler bu dönemde süsleyici bir öğe olarak mimariye aktarılmıştır. Üslubun en önemli yeniliği, portal, mihrab ve eyvan kemerlerini taçlandıran iki, bazen de üç renk mermerle işlenmiş fistolu ve örgülü, kemer ortasında düğümlenen band uygulamasıdır. Bu süsleme değişikliklerini Artuklular da kullanmış ve burada çalışan ustalar daha sonraki dönemlerde Anadolunun farklı bölgelerinde (özellikle güney bölümü) de uygulamışlardır. Akdeniz coğrafyasındaki Kahramanmaraş, Adana ve Gaziantep’e bakıldığında bu uygulamanın birçok örneğini görmek mümkündür. Şehirlerin, özellikle kültürel ve mimari açıdan birbirlerinin etkisinde kaldığı görülmektedir. Anadolu’nun Türkleşmesi ile birlikte Anadolu mimarisinde oldukça yaygın görülmeye başlayan Suriye-Zengi süsleme etkileri incelendiğinde özellikle iki renkli taş işçiliği, kubbede mukarnas bezeme, zikzaklı kemer, zengi düğümü ve zikzaklı kemerlerin bahsi geçen şehirlerde yaygın olarak yaygın olarak kullanıldığı görülmektedir. Çalışmada Kahramanmaraş, Adana ve Gaziantep şehirlerinin tarihi süreci, mimarisi ve mimaride Suriye-Zengi etkileri konularına değinilecektir.
NIGERIA'S BANKING SECTOR REFORMS AND COMMERCIAL BANKS' PERFORMANCE: A SIMPLE TEST OF THE MODIFIED PANTULA PRINCIPLE
Authors: Bernhard O. ISHIORO, Ph.D  
Published: May 2023

This study examined the achievement of organizational goals by deposit money banks following the period of banking sector reform. Annual time series data from the banking industry and the Nigerian economy for the period 1990 to 2020 were used to implement a simplified version of the modified Pantula Principle (an improved cointegrating technique). Three sets of reforms and bank performance measures, including bank-specific, industry-specific, and macroeconomic indicators, were identified and adopted. The empirical findings obtained from our analysis revealed that there are no long-run connections between selected performance measures and some bank-specific, industry-specific, and macroeconomic variables, implying that the reforms had no long-term impact on the statutory achievement of the banks' goals in Nigeria during and beyond the era.
Keywords: Pantula Principle; Banking Sector Reforms; Banks' Performance; Nigeria.

Authors: Bernhard O. ISHIORO, Ph.D  
Published: May 2023

The link between Financial inclusion (FIN ) and digital finance(DF) is the primary subject of this research. Digital finance and inclusive financial though have been adjudged to be related; there are quite a plethora of issues that are still unclear concerning the nature and type of their relationship. Why are they related and at what point are they related? Short or long-run relationship? To clarify these issues, the study applied the Auto regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) long-run cointegrating technique to explicate our econometric models. Our data is time series in nature and is for Nigeria. The study established that, internet-powered electronic device users, a proxy for digital finance has a positive long-run relationship with FIN while Automated Teller machine (ATM) ownership and usage has a negative long-run relationship with FIN. The study recommended that internet service providers (ISPs) be integrated into the Nigerian FIN paradigm to enhance the accuracy and viability of financial service provision, leading to a decline in the unbanked population.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine the association of vitamin D deficiency with insulin resistance among women diagnosed with gestational diabetes.
Study Design: Cross sectional study.
Place and duration of study: This study was conducted from January 2021 to December 2021 at Combined Military Hospital (CMH) Lahore.
Methodology: Two hundred pregnant women in the age group 20-35 years with gestational diabetes diagnosed by using 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test were included. Fasting blood specimens for glucose, insulin and vitamin D were obtained and analyzed on Roche Cobas c501 and Cobas e411. Based on the vitamin D level, enrolled patients were classified as vitamin D sufficient and vitamin D deficient using vitamin D cut off 20 nmol/L. Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated for estimation of insulin resistance. Fasting glucose, fasting insulin and HOMA IR were compared between the two groups.
Results: In this study, 200 pregnant women were inducted. Median age was 28 years (IQR 24-31). Median fasting plasma glucose, Vitamin D levels and HOMA-IR of the study population were 5.3 mmol/L, 19.5 nmol/L and 2.7 respectively. Mann-Whitney U test showed a significant difference (p<0.001) of vitamin D levels among insulin resistant and non- resistant patients. A strong association (p<0.001) between insulin resistance and vitamin D deficiency was established by Chi-square test. Spearman correlation between insulin resistance and vitamin D levels showed negative correlation between insulin resistance and vitamin D levels (r = -0.89).
Conclusion: A strong association was found between vitamin D deficiency and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The negative correlation (r=-0.89) indicated that severe the deficiency of vitamin D, more pronounced the insulin resistance among pregnant women having GDM.
Learn, move, compete: an alternative approach to mini tennis lessons
Authors: Wigham Matt , Wheatley Simon 
Published: May 2023

In this article, we look at how competition is presented in the traditional mini tennis lesson, finding that it typically occurs once, at the end of the session. We then explore some of the limitations associated with competition in this format. Following that, we discuss the importance of developing competitive capabilities, and propose an alternative way of approaching the mini tennis lesson to provide more opportunity for competition while systematically developing tactical and technical skills in a manner consistent with findings from skill acquisition research. This methodological approach, we suggest, provides a more fertile environment in which to develop competitive performers alongside the tactical and technical performance factors.
The tennis coach as a leader
Authors: Cahill Garry 
Published: May 2023

Tennis coaches are leaders! Success as a tennis coach involves far more than simply hitting balls over a net on a daily basis as the role involves leading diverse stakeholders such as club managers, parents, committees, and most importantly players. The development of leadership skills has received growing interest in recent years and it is widely accepted that there is a link between leadership skills and corporate success. Sports researchers have recognised the ecological system that surrounds an athlete and the multiple stakeholders connected to their development. However, little is known about how the tennis coach should be educated and prepared to deal with the coach’s leadership demands, and in particular, the softer skills needed to become a more effective sports leader. The aim of this article is to provide tennis coaches with a brief context surrounding the necessity for leadership skills as a tennis coach. Secondly, the article provides a three-step process based on self-reflection and self-awareness to help coaches consider their individual leadership development.
Kihívások és hajtóerők az első magyar blockbuster molekula nemzetközi fejlesztési folyamatában
Authors: Németh György , Gulácsi Gábor 
Published: May 2023

A közlemény egy gyógyszer – a cariprazine – fejlesztési folyamatában keresi azokat a tényezőket, amelyek lehetővé tették, hogy egy magyar székhelyű cég a nemzetközi gyógyszerpiacokon globális sikert tudjon elérni és molekulája ún. blockbuster készítménnyé váljon. Kiindulópontja az, hogy a globális sikerhez a molekula felfedezésének, a gyógyszerkészítmény különböző terápiás indikációi fejlesztésének, továbbá a gyógyszer piaci bevezetésének és promóciójának egymásra épülő mindhárom szakaszában világszínvonalú teljesítmények szükségesek, tehát magában a fejlesztési folyamatban is. A fejlesztési folyamat farmakológiai és orvostudományi szakmai aspektusainak részleteit a közlemény nem tárgyalja, de hivatkozik rá[i]. Konklúziója, hogy a siker alapját az amerikai Forest Laboratories-zal kötött licenszbe adási és együttműködési szerződés képezte, a gyógyszer-fejlesztési kihívások teljesítéséhez, a buktatók átlépéséhez és egy kivételes siker eléréséhez pedig nélkülözhetetlen volt a gyógyszeripari környezet mélyreható ismerete és elemzése, továbbá az eredményes nemzetközi kollaboráció, a nehézségeken átlendítő csoport flow és kreativitás.

Visiones constitucionales de la Organización Mundial del Comercio: entre el desarrollo, el libre mercado y la marginalidad. El caso de Colombia
Authors: Parra Rosas Juan Felipe , Cumbe Figueroa Alexandra , Jaramillo Vargas Diego Andres 
Published: May 2023

Este artículo presenta al lector un análisis de la norma de segundo plano que utiliza la Corte Constitucional colombiana cuando menciona y recurre a las fuentes de la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) en sus fallos. Siendo esto examinado a la luz de dos marcos conceptuales: “la Síntesis del Siglo xx” y las “reglas de fondo que condicionan” la resolución de un caso. Para ello, a través de la metodología de revisión jurisprudencial, analizamos 60 sentencias de constitucionalidad proferidas por la Corte Constitucional Colombiana entre 1995 y 2022, en las que existía una mención directa a la OMC. Dentro de esta búsqueda encontramos que de los 60 fallos únicamente 19 fallos mencionan a la OMC en su raciocinio de manera central o al menos utilizan alguna de sus fuentes o consideraciones normativas para sustentar las decisiones tomadas. En nuestros hallazgos encontramos que la mención a la OMC es utilizada por la Corte para justificar y respaldar constitucionalmente el libre mercado que, bajo una premisa de ausencia de ejercicios de poder, se comprende como un proyecto económico que promueve y fortalece el desarrollo social y económico de los Estados.
Los factores subyacentes y la probabilidad de medidas sanitarias y fitosanitarias del sector agropecuario del Perú notificadas a la Organización Mundial del Comercio
Authors: Valverde Arevalo Marcelo Alonso 
Published: May 2023

Previamente se han identificado una serie de determinantes de la actividad regulatoria de asuntos sanitarios y fitosanitarios, tales como las capacidades científicas, legales, la producción nacional, entre otros. Si bien las principales determinantes se orientan a aspectos regulatorios, no es posible descartar que sean utilizadas como barreras al comercio.
En el caso del Perú, siendo uno de los Miembros de la OMC que más notificaciones ha emitido, no se ha analizado previamente los factores subyacentes relacionados a este tipo de medidas. En ese sentido, mediante modelos Probit y Logit se ha podido identificar los factores que inciden en la probabilidad de que el Perú notifique medidas sanitarias y fitosanitarias. Los resultados indican que, contrariamente a lo esperado, en el caso peruano el aumento de las capacidades científicas y legales generarían una menor cantidad de medidas sanitarias. Esto sugeriría que este país aplica más medidas de las necesarias, pudiendo ser utilizadas como barreras al comercio.
