Published: July 2022

The recent Covid-19 crisis has wreaked havoc in the performance of businesses in the whole world. The most hit is the hospitality industry, especially the bar &amp; restaurant businesses, which are considered high human density areas. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to examine the survival strategies influencing the performance of bar &amp; restaurant businesses in Nairobi County, Kenya, in the face of a crisis like the covid-19 pandemic. The outcome of this study was useful in countering the negative effects of future crises in Nairobi County as well as the rest of the nation. The study was based on diffusion of innovation theory and business resilience theory. The specific objectives of the study were to investigate the extent of strategic management adoption, assess the extent of technology/innovation adoption, ascertain the influence of diversification, and examine the influence of social media networking on the performance of bar &amp; restaurant businesses in the face of crisis. The population under study was a total of 6,383 licensed bar &amp; restaurant businesses in Nairobi County. The project adopted a survey research design and simple random sampling technique to select a sample that was representative of the whole population. The study targeted 100 respondents from a sample of 100 bar &amp; restaurants within Nairobi County. The survey used both questionnaires and observation as the main methods of data collection. The researcher then analyzed the data using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression models and used textual explanation, and charts to present the results appropriately. The study also sought to examine the influence of social media on the performance of bar &amp; restaurant businesses during the crisis in Nairobi County. It noted that the p-value of the social media adoption stood at 0.131 indicating that the social media adoption did not have a statistically significant influence on the performance of bar &amp; restaurant businesses. The study thus found that social media adoption as a variable did not have a statistically significant influence on the performance of bar &amp; businesses.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0953/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The findings of the study revealed that the students displayed a positive attitude toward lecture attendance; male students resume lectures before female students but female students are more regular with lectures than their male counterparts; lecture attendance habits of students are attributed to completing assignments at the last minute, emergency travels, financial constraint, unconducive learning environment, availability of course outline on the textbook, student illness, students feel they can pass without attending classes and time fixed for class. The findings also revealed that most students show a negative attitude toward lectures because they believe they can borrow lecture notes from fellow students, buy a textbook, create a study group or engage in personal reading; and that positive lecture attendance habit of students can be enhanced if the mark is awarded for attending lectures, making the learning environment more conducive and making students understand the need to attend lectures. The study recommended that school management should develop a policy for awarding marks to students who attend lectures, this will encourage those students who have a negative attitude to lectures.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0937/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Efiok Nsikan John , Rawlings Peter Micheal 
Published: July 2022

This paper undertakes a review of extant literature to examine the outlets in which operations management tools and techniques have been applied for improved healthcare delivery. Just as operations management has found usefulness in many other industrial sectors, this report shows that healthcare has also recorded significant advances as the principles of operations management are continually being utilised. This is evident in areas such as the management and planning of medical capacity like bed space; management of medical inventory, equipment scheduling and assignment of doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel to patience. Moreover, operations management tools have been pivotal in making improvements in such areas as medical logistics, drugs and vaccine distribution, and the management of the health supply chain. The healthcare industry has also seen a couple of successes in implementing sustainable operations management in some aspects of healthcare logistics, ethical healthcare services, and responsible healthcare delivery. However, the major challenges in applying sustainability initiatives in healthcare relate to the disposal of medical wastes, effective application of six-sigma for process improvement, and managing long waiting lines experienced in most developing nations' hospital facilities.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0951/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: July 2022

This article explores the participation of Roma women in public life and how this is strengthened through their participation in the Roma Political School in Greece. The study focused on the reasons for participation and the expectations of women from their participation in the Roma Political School, but also on the barriers they encounter and the opportunities they are given to participate in social and political events. It has highlighted the emergence of proposals for the empowerment and strengthening of the position of Roma women in politics. A qualitative methodology was followed, and data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 4 Roma women and two officials of the Council of Europe who participated in the Roma Political School in Greece. The findings of the study showed that progress has been made towards the active citizenship of Greek Roma women and, through their participation in the RPS, women expect to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills in order to actively participate in the community and contribute to resolving the problems and addressing the needs of their community. However, there are also several inhibiting factors that affect the active citizenship of women: stereotypical perceptions of the position of women prevailing in the Gypsy community, women's low level of education, and their lack of self-confidence. The main proposals that emerged in relation to strengthening women's participation in the public sphere are related to information and the dissemination of information, the strengthening of women's participation in associations, the participation of women in education and adult education and in specialized political programs, and the breaking down of stereotypes concerning the position of women.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0952/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Ira Maulana 
Published: July 2022

This study aims to describe the issuance of Law Number 3 of 2006 concerning the Religious Courts which has increased the authority of the Religious Courts. The mandate of the law instructs religious courts to not only accept, examine, decide, and adjudicate marriage and inheritance cases, but also have the authority to resolve sharia economic disputes. This research uses a normative juridical research method. Normative juridical research is research that examines various laws and regulations that apply or are applied to a particular legal problem. Normative juridical law research is often referred to as doctrinal law research. From the results of this study, it is explained in the explanation of article 49 letter (i) of Law Number 3 of 2006 concerning Religious Courts. This indicates that apart from the religious judiciary, it is not allowed to accept, examine, decide, and adjudicate sharia economic cases. The absolute authority of the religious court has been patented by the decision of the Constitutional Court no. 93/PUU-X/2012 which stipulates that sharia economic disputes are the absolute authority of the religious courts. The Constitutional Court's decision at the same time eliminates dualism in the judicial environment to resolve sharia economic dispute cases.

Having a high economic timber value, Tectona grandis has also played an important role in storing carbon. Hence, the present investigation has attempted to study the impacts of teaks defoliator Hyblaea puera on carbon stocks accumulation and overall growth in plantation forests and make acomparison with healthy teak plantation forests without the impacts of teak defoliator. Remaining all other factors constant, the study conducted on tropical regions of eastern Nepal has shown an 18% increase in carbon stocks in 2 years in the teak defoliator infected patch whereas it’s 38% in the healthy patch. Similarly, a highly positive correlation was found between diameter and height in a healthy patch in both the measurement i.e., 0.88 and 0.89. Whereas there is less positive correlation i.e.,0.64 and 0.69 in the infected patch.The mean height increment of the healthy plot was 1.1, while it was 0.5 in the case of the infected plot. Furthermore, the Mean DBH Increment of the Healthy plot was 2.1; however, it was 1.0 in the case of the infected plot. To sum up, this study at tropical regions has presented the impacts of teak defoliator (Hyblaea puera) on growth(height and diameter) and carbon accumulation on Teak plantation area.

Authors: Sharma Shivangi , Verma Kirti , Hardaha Palak 
Published: July 2022

Agriculture has a significant contribution to the economy. Agricultural automation is a major cause of concern and a relatively new phenomenon throughout the world. The world's population is quickly growing, resulting in increased demand for food and labor. Farmers' customary techniques were insufficient to achieve these goals. As a result, new automated techniques were developed. These creative initiatives met food demands while also providing work opportunities for a large number of people. Agriculture has changed as a result of artificial intelligence. This strategy has shielded agricultural production from a variety of threats such as weather, population growth, labour rights, and food security concerns. The major issue of this is the numerous applications of AI in agriculture, such as irrigation, weeding, and spraying with different sensors or other ways implanted in robots and drones. These technologies limit the use of water, pesticides, and herbicides, preserve soil fertility and help in the effective use of labour, resulting in increased output and quality. Many researchers efforts to gain a quick overview of the present state of automation in agriculture, including weeding systems using robots and drones. Two automated weeding strategies are explored, as well as several soil water sensing technologies. The utilization of drones, as well as the numerous methods for spraying and crop monitoring that drones employ. In this Paper we also discuss how AI should be combined with other technologies and applications of AI in solving farming challenges.
