Challenges facing the implementation of fee-free education in primary schools in Tanzania

In this paper we investigated the challenges facing the implementation of Fee-Free Education (FFE) in primary schools in Tanzania. We adopted a qualitative approach with a case study exploratory design. The study was carried out in the Geita District Council, involving 28 participants. These were 12 school committee members, 10 headteachers, 5 Ward Education Officers (WEOs), and a District Education Officer (DEO). Data were collected through interviews, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), and documentary review. Thematic and content analysis were used to analyze the data. The findings indicate that FFE contributed to an increased enrolment rate of pupils from poor families and it improved the retention and attendance rates in primary schools. However, the findings indicate that the visited schools faced a shortage of teachers, school infrastructure such as classrooms, toilets for pupils, and desks because of an increased pupils' enrolment that affected the implementation of FFE. The findings also indicate that headteachers did not receive any in-service training for them to manage the schools’ financial resources. We argue in this study that for effective implementation of FFE in primary schools both headteachers and teachers need in-service training and seminars on financial management. The government also needs to employ more teachers if the quality of education is to be sustained in primary schools. Nevertheless, increasing the budget for education for classroom construction is equally imperative.

An assessment of the legal and regulatory framework supporting the implementation of the National Integrated Identity Management System (NIIMS) in Kenya

Abstract This study sought to establish the elements that constitute comprehensive legal and regulatory landscape for successful digital identity system establishment and implementation. Subsequently, the study sought to assess whether these elements were present in the establishment and implementation of the National Integrated Identity Management System (NIIMS) in Kenya. The study adopted a qualitative approach, data was obtained firstly, through literature review that provided background information to the study. Secondly, semi structured interviews were undertaken on purposively selected key informants. The study established that the elements that constitute a robust legal and regulatory framework for digital identity (ID) establishment and implementation include presence of a constitutional provision on the right to privacy; existence of a digital ID law governing the establishment of the system; amendment of laws relating to the registration of persons; existence of a data protection law; existence of an overarching law governing the digital economy among others. Largely, most of these elements were present in Kenya. However, the legislative approach adopted in crafting digital ID law in Kenya was wanting. This has undermined effective implementation of the NIIM system by among other things eroding public confidence in the system. The study concluded that effective operation of the system hinged on the existence of a robust and comprehensive legal and regulatory framework that will engender users’ trust in the system. In this regard, the study recommended review of the existing legal framework to ensure that it underpins both the foundational and functional aspects of the NIIM system.

Analysis of the application of automated systems in mechanical engineering

Introducing off-the-shelf solutions for automated machine-building systems causes some difficulties related to attempts to change the algorithms of process participants, and also to the need to duplicate information transfer chains, as most systems operate autonomously within certain production units. The author proposes a new approach to organizing the interaction of automated systems of machine-building enterprises. Effective implementation of automated systems is possible only based on investigation and optimization of machine-building enterprise activities, and based on analysis and quality assessment of functions performance by participants of different enterprise processes. The method comprises identifying the process for preparing production and output of finished products, and processes of lower levels (auxiliary), but necessary for implementing the main, and functionally related to it. The main functional process defines a time parameter and auxiliary processes accompanying the main process. These auxiliary processes are financial, material, personnel, and organizational support processes. The article contains the basic principles of creating a complex of automated machine-building systems. The article analyzes the role and place of each of the main functional automated systems. The author gives considerations on the sequence of implementation of the project of digitalization of machine-building production.

Exploring HCl-HCl interactions: QZVPP calculations, improved Lennard-Jones potential, and second virial coefficient analysis for thermodynamics and industrial applications.

In this paper, we present a comprehensive analysis of HCl-HCl interactions, including QZVPP calculations, energy fitting, conformation validation, and the determination of the second virial coefficient B using improved Lennard-Jones (ILJ) potential parameters. To acquire accurate interaction energies, initial QZVPP calculations are performed on approximately 1851 randomly generated HCl-HCl conformations. Then, these energies are used to fit an improved Lennard-Jones potential energy surface, allowing for a robust description of HCl-HCl interactions. The ILJ potential parameters are then used to validate particular HCl dimer conformations, ensuring their stability and consistency with experimental observations. The correlation between calculated and experimental conformations strengthens the validity of the ILJ potential parameters. In addition, the second viral coefficient B is calculated at various temperatures using the ILJ potential. The obtained B values are compared to experimental data, demonstrating close agreement, and validating the ILJ potential's ability to accurately capture the intermolecular interactions and gas-phase behavior of the HCl-HCl system. The results of this study demonstrate the effective implementation of QZVPP calculations, energy fitting, and ILJ potential parameters in validating HCl-HCl conformations and accurately determining the second virial coefficient B. The high degree of concordance between calculated B values and experimental data demonstrates the validity of the ILJ potential and its suitability for modeling HCl-HCl interactions. This research contributes to a greater comprehension of HCl-HCl interactions and their implications for numerous chemical and atmospheric processes. The validated conformations, energy fitting method, and calculated second virial coefficients provide valuable instruments for future research and pave the way for more accurate modeling and simulations of HCl-HCl systems.

Are the Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises in Developing Countries Ready to Implement Circular Economy Practices? An Empirical Quest for Key Readiness Factors

While most of the circular economy (CE) research is engrossed in larger organizations and developed countries, there is hardly any research exploring the readiness of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in developing countries toward the implementation of CE practices. To fill this knowledge gap, in this article, we aim to identify and evaluate the key readiness factors (RFs) that are vital for CE implementation. Initially, 15 important RFs are identified via an extensive literature review and experts’ consultation, which are prioritized using the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory method. The proposed framework is validated with a real-world case study involving four India-based SMEs. The results reveal that “ <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">willingness of top management to implement CE practices”</i> is the most important RF. Six RFs are classified as causal: “ <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">availing financial assistance from government and external agencies,” “introducing new technology and its compatibility with existing technology,” “willingness of top management to implement CE practices,” “investment in infrastructural development,” “pressures from competitors, business partners, and regulatory bodies to implement CE practices,” and “awareness among the customers about CE benefits.”</i> The findings of this research may help managers assess CE readiness and prepare business strategies for effective implementation of CE practices.

Nurses' experiences and perspectives regarding evidence-based practice implementation in healthcare context: A qualitative study.

To explore nurses' experiences and perspectives about evidence-based practice (EBP) implementation in the healthcare context. A qualitative descriptive study design using focus group discussions (FGDs). Sixty-four nurses who purposefully selected and worked at various healthcare organizations in Bisha Governorate, Saudi Arabia, were included. Eight FGDs were used to obtain data using open-ended questions. The collected data underwent inductive qualitative content analysis. Two main categories were extracted: experiences and perspectives towards EBP. The experiences category emerged into four sub-categories: familiarity with concepts and benefits, steps, dissemination sources of EBP and sources of EBP knowledge, while perspectives towards the EBP category included four sub-categories: application of EBP in clinical practice, barriers, facilitators and EBP application methods. The participants experienced being in a non-supportive and non-encouraging atmosphere which results from a lack of organizational commitment to EBP implementation and illuminates the complexities involved in the integration process. The nurses' experience with EBP indicated that there was limited support for the implementation of this approach. Furthermore, they experienced varying barriers to EBP implementation. They viewed EBP as a complex technique as they lacked knowledge and skills related to the formulation of research questions, and retrieving, applying and disseminating of EBP in clinical practice decision-making. That is due to barriers pertinent to the individual, organizational and patient factors. The key to successfully implementing an EBP in nursing practice is to promote professional development, comprehensive and continuous training, a culture of change, organizational support and motivation. Through the construction and provision of ongoing educational interventions and mentoring programmes about EBP, healthcare organizations and nursing leadership may develop a comprehensive strategy to encourage staff nurses' participation in the EBP process. This is to enhance nurses' experiences and perspectives towards the EBP approach and overcome the barriers to effective implementation. Patients or the general public were not involved in the design, analysis or interpretation of the data in this study.

An adoption of sustainable business model: An empirical study identifying the success factors of IT service sector organizations

Being competitive has become essential to surviving in the current, rapidly evolving and highly dynamic corporate climate. Companies must streamline their operations if they want to remain competitive. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems that have been applied successfully give businesses better practices and procedures. The article uses past literature to illustrate a new conceptual framework considering strategic, organizational, technological and environmental aspects for the effective implementation of ERP system in the information technology (IT) service sector. The primary focus is to find out the effectiveness of ERP deployment from the users’ perspective. For this analysis, information was gathered from 152 Indian IT companies that had already installed an ERP system. Factor analysis, both exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, was used in the present study to find out the factors from the mentioned four perspectives. Structural equation modelling allows researchers to observe the relationships between the emerged factors. The findings suggest that end users of IT firms have recognized the value of emerging constructs for successful ERP implementation leading to sustainable firm growth, underscoring the significance of the suggested framework in their quest to become more competitive in the market.

Anemia, red blood cell transfusion and administration of blood products in obstetrics: a nationwide analysis of more than 6 million cases from 2011-2020.

The prevalence of anemia is high, especially in obstetrics. There is large evidence, that anemia during pregnancy is associated with increased maternal morbidity and mortality. Anemia and peripartum hemorrhage remain the main causes for transfusion of red blood cells (RBC). Patient Blood Management (PBM) reduces the need for RBC transfusion significantly. The present study retrospectively analyzed the impact and prevalence of anemia and RBC transfusion on pregnant women. Data were retrieved from the German Statistical Office on pregnant women who delivered in hospital between January 1st 2011 and December 31st 2020. The prevalence of anemia, peripartum hemorrhage, comorbidities, administration of blood products and complications were analyzed. A total of 6,356,046 pregnant women were analyzed of whom 78,257 (1.23%) received RBC transfusion (RBC transfusion group) and 6,277,789 (98.77%) did not receive RBC transfusion (non-RBC transfusion group). In all women analyzed anemia rate was 23.74%. The rates of anemia during pregnancy (70.39 vs 23.15%; p<0.0001), postpartum hemorrhage (41.42 vs 4.35%; p<0.0001), hospital length of stay (127.5 vs 87.08 hours; p<0.0001) and single complications were higher in women with RBC transfusion compared to women without RBC transfusion. The prevalence of anemia and the increased risk for RBC transfusion show that there is great potential for effective implementation of PBM in obstetrics. The treatment of anemia during pregnancy and reduction of RBC transfusions will decrease maternal morbidity and mortality.

Air pollution and economic growth in Dubai a fast-growing Middle Eastern city

This paper discusses the impact of rapid economic development on air quality in the Emirate of Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Dubai is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world, with a population increase of approximately 80× over the last 60 years. The concentrations of five criteria air pollutants (CAPs) including carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter with diameter less than 10 μm (PM10), ozone (O3) and sulphur dioxide (SO2) were studied from 2013 to 2021 at 14 regulatory monitoring stations. Results show that the biggest improvements in air pollution are for the primary air pollutants NO2 and SO2, with reductions of 54% and 93% respectively over the period studied. Gross domestic product (GDP), population growth and energy consumption are significantly and negatively correlated with NO2 and SO2 and strongly and positively correlated with PM10. CO is positively correlated with the number of buildings completed, while the results for O3 are inconclusive. Trends in NO2 and SO2 indicate that these two pollutants are decoupled from economic development, supporting, with caution, the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis on the relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation. The improvement in the city's air quality is due to the effective implementation of local environmental policies, unaffected by large-scale development and urbanization. The monthly assessments of Dubai's air pollution for 2019 and 2020 show a 3–16% COVID-related improvement in the levels of the studied air pollutants, except for ozone, which increased by an average of 8%.

Increasing the effectiveness of anti-corruption as a condition for ensuring national security

The presented article, based on the identification of the multifaceted impact of corruption manifestations on the parameters of national security, identifies areas for improving the effectiveness of measures aimed at leveling the threats produced by this negative phenomenon. The subject of the study is a set of forms and methods of strategic anti-corruption used in the activities of public authorities of the Russian Federation, which is ensured by using methods of systemic, structural, comparative legal, historical and genetic analysis. The main message of the article is to substantiate the close relationship between the processes of ensuring national and public security in the context of countering corruption threats, which significantly reduce the level of both of these manifestations of security as a complex, multidimensional concept. In this regard, the emphasis is on the need to strengthen public participation in anti-corruption activities. Among the most important manifestations of such participation is the implementation of mechanisms of public anti-corruption control, the effective implementation of which implies the need for the formation of a set of so-called "anti-corruption competencies" among those who carry it out. Based on the analysis, it is stated that one of the most important conditions for ensuring national security is the activation of the role of society as a whole and citizens, in particular, which should be ensured by a well-formed anti-corruption worldview. Persons who must have competencies can be divided into the following two groups: basic competencies, which presuppose the possession of key knowledge, skills to ensure the formation of an anti-corruption worldview, its implementation in one’s life. Professional competencies that allow you to successfully perform functions that are directly related to combating corruption, including as part of the implementation of public anti-corruption control procedures.
