The study titled “Contribution of Umurenge SACCOs on financial inclusion of women entrepreneurs in Rwanda - A case evidence from Nyamasheke District” was about assessing the impact of Umurenge SACCOs as microfinances on the financial inclusion of women entrepreneurs in the area under study. The study was guided by three objectives, firstly to determine the contribution of Umurenge SACCOs on the financial inclusion of women entrepreneurs in Rwanda, second to assess the main factors influencing the financial inclusion of women entrepreneurs in Nyamasheke District and third to test whether there is a significant difference in means of women entrepreneurs’ income before and after joining the financial services delivered to them by Umurenge SACCOs. In this regard, the Multinomial Logistic Regression model was performed using a maximum likelihood estimation method on the data set collected to find the parameter estimates of the model describing the relationship between the explanatory and the outcome variables and determine the significance of the predictor variables that contribute significantly to the financial inclusion of women entrepreneurs in the area under study. The study adopted both qualitative and quantitative approaches to collect data from 395 respondents. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS-23. In this analysis, the results revealed that on the total of eleven independent variables that we thought to contribute to the outcome variable, the explanatory variables such as age group, income, living place/location, political factor and payment of social security/type of the job of the respondents to whom the study was conducted; were dropped from the training set of explanatory variables that contribute significantly to the financial inclusion of women entrepreneurs in Nyamasheke District, Rwanda. In the model selection that overall fits well the data, the explanatory variables that contributed significantly to the outcome variable governing the study were obtained to be were education status, formal accounts, formal savings, formal credits, attractiveness of the financial products and type of job that the respondents under study possess. The parameters estimate of the selected model revealed that the predictor variables that best predicted the probability of increasing the financial inclusion status of women entrepreneurs in the area under study were education level of respondents, formal credits, formal savings and attractiveness of the financial products that Umurenge SACCOs possessed. The study also found that there was a significant difference in means of women entrepreneurs’ income before and after joining the financial services delivered by Umurenge SACCOs and finally recommended that the microfinance institutions should strengthen the policies governing the formal savings, formal credits and financial products which are attractive towards the financial performance of entrepreneurs.

The study titled Modelling the effect of workplace stress management on institution’s performance in Rwanda: A case evidence from Kibogora Level II Teaching Hospital, Rwanda was about assessing the contribution of workplace stress management on institution’s performance in the area under study. The study was guided with the objective of exploring the utilization of multinomial logistic regression (MLR) in modeling the effect of workplace stress management on an institution’s performance. In this regard, the MLR model was performed using a maximum likelihood estimation method on the data set collected to find the parameter estimates of the model describing the relationship between the independent and the dependent variables and determine the significance of the predictor variables that contribute significantly to the institution’s performance in the area under study. The study adopted both qualitative and quantitative approaches to collect data from 321 respondents. Data were collected using questionnaire and interview schedule techniques and analyzed using SPSS-23. In this analysis, the results revealed that on the total of twelve explanatory variables, the explanatory variables such as age, gender, the status of licensed or not and own avoidance of stress at the workplace of the workers were dropped from the training set of predictors variables that contribute significantly to the institution’s performance at Kibogora Level II Teaching Hospital, Rwanda. In the model selection that overall fits well the data, the obtained variables that contributed significantly to the dependent variable were Status of workers who faced the issue of having a stress at the workplace, education level of the workers to whom the study was conducted, working experience of the workers, the main applied stress preventive measures at Kibogora Level II Teaching Hospital and knowledge on the strategies to use for coping with the stress of workers working at Kibogora Level II Teaching Hospital. The parameters estimate of the selected model revealed that the explanatory variables that best predicted the probability of increasing the institution’s performance at Kibogora Level II Teaching Hospital once the stress management is controlled at the workplace were education level of the workers, working experience of the workers and main stress preventive measures applied by Kibogora Level II Teaching hospital. Finally, the study recommended that regarding stress preventive measures adopted in the area under study, the top management of Kibogora Level II Teaching Hospital in partnership with other funders should be ensure that all employees are trained on how to avoid occupational hazards and most importantly, the hospital need to provide recreational activities to the employees. On stress source identification, the study recommends that Kibogora Level II Teaching Hospital needs to increase incentives to employees for motivation while on duty and the hospital staff should as well

There is a general belief that vaccines constitute the most effective form of limiting the spread of diseases and protecting public health. Yet, as highly effective tools as vaccines may be, studies reveal that the rates of support and acceptance of vaccinations during the COVID-19 pandemic from public health personnel in Western countries indicate hesitancy among them. As professional Social Workers are part of the public health personnel who are priority groups for many vaccinations, the present study focused on their opinions and attitudes towards vaccination and their role in motivating their beneficiaries. The purpose of this quantitative Greek National Survey among 771 Social Workers, members of the Association of Social Workers of Greece (ASGLE), who are professionally active in Greece, was to understand and analyze their attitudes towards the available vaccines against COVID-19 and compulsory vaccination. Through the online self-completion questionnaire, which was used for the collection of data, the survey also aimed to evaluate the Social Workers’ knowledge and sources from which they received information about Covid-19, their motivational sources, their views on compulsory vaccination of health professionals and their views on motivating their beneficiaries with regards to vaccination.

The income of tomato farmers in Karo Regency has decreased due to internal and external factors in tomato farming. This study aims to identify internal factors consisting of the strengths and weaknesses of tomato farmers in Karo Regency and external factors that can be used as opportunities and threats for tomato farmers in Karo Regency, so as to formulate appropriate strategies to increase the income of tomato farmers in Karo Regency. The research method uses SWOT analysis and QSPM to analyze strategies to increase the income of tomato farmers in Karo Regency. The results show that the internal factors that become strengths in increasing the income of tomato farmers are having regular customers, extensive cultivation land, available human resources, experienced farmers, fertile land and for weaknesses in internal factors, namely low-educated workforce, the practice of seeds counterfeit, low technological adaptation, limited capital, lack of initiative in seeking market information, using simple equipment. Factors that become opportunities in increasing the income of tomato farmers are increased demand for tomatoes, product diversification, support from extension agents and agricultural services, broad consumers from all segments, favorable natural conditions. Some others include declining tomatoes, pest and disease attacks and unstable seasonal changes. Alternative strategies in increasing the income of tomato farmers in Karo Regency are adding business to farmer households, optimizing existing potential, providing training, improving the quality of human resources, increasing production, increasing post-harvest processing, reducing production costs, supporting ICT (Information and Communication Technology) growth, provide capital loans, and maintain the quality of tomatoes.

The 4.0 technology revolution has had a strong influence on mass communication in general and traditional communication in particular. The change in communication causes the communication method of the communicator to change, which means that traditional communication must have a change in the communication language to adapt to the needs and ability to attract the public. This transformation is being clearly shown from the perspective of print communication and broadcast communication.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a mental disorder characterized by difficulties in behaviour control. This study aimed to explore the socio-demographic characteristics of incarcerated male adults with ADHD in selected prisons in Kenya. A mixed methods approach was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis. The target population consisted of incarcerated male adults aged 18 to 65 years. The study revealed important insights into the profile of these individuals. The majority of respondents fell within the age range of 20 to 50 years, indicating a prevalence of ADHD among individuals in their prime adulthood. Common previous occupations included agriculture, transport-related, and casual jobs. Marital status analysis showed a significant number of married respondents, highlighting family responsibilities among incarcerated male adults with ADHD. In terms of education, the majority had levels below college, with primary and secondary education being the most common backgrounds. First-borns had the highest representation, and many respondents came from large families with four or more children. Mothers were reported as the most common parent during the respondents' childhood. Regarding income levels, the majority had low-income levels, reflecting socioeconomic challenges faced by incarcerated male adults with ADHD and their limited financial resources. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the socio-demographic characteristics of incarcerated male adults with ADHD in Kenya. The insights gained from this study may inform targeted interventions and support services within the prison system to address the specific needs of this population. Article visualizations:

This paper aimed to develop a multidimensional framework of neighborhood crime in Davao City. The study employed a quantitative, non-experimental research design employing Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). A researcher-made instrument was utilized which was developed from in-depth interview of 12 selected residents, related literatures, and studies. To determine the validity of items, the researcher employed Content Validity Ratio (CVR) where ten (10) experts reviewed and validated the instrument. Item statements that passed the threshold of 0.80 were selected as part of the survey questionnaire. As a result, 43-item instrument was developed and utilized as data collection tool administered to 300 residents of Davao City as research participants. Using Exploratory Factor Analysis, 29 items remained in the model to compose the four (4) constructs after 17 rotations and iterations, therefore, making them the factors characterizing neighborhood crime in Davao City. Using thematic analysis, the factors were clustered as (1) breakdown of social control, (2) social disorder, (3) social deviance, (4) social disintegration. Revealed structures of neighborhood crime can be an aid to frame policies and strategies to augment peacekeeping efforts in suppressing crime and other forms of delinquency, to strengthen ties within the community and lastly, to create a safe and secured society.

This paper examined the effect of trade liberalization on domestic private investment in Nigeria from 1981 to 2020. To achieve this objective, secondary data on domestic private investment, trade openness, exchange rate and interest rate were sourced from the statistical bulletin of Nigeria’s apex bank. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) technique was used as the main analytical tool. The ARDL Bounds test revealed the existence of long-run association among the variables. The results revealed that trade openness and exchange rate have positive and insignificant relationship with domestic private investment both in the long and short runs. At the same time, interest rate has a negative relationship with domestic private investment both in the long and short runs. Therefore, it was concluded that there is no significant relationship between trade openness, exchange rate, interest rate and domestic private investment in Nigeria during the period of study. Based on the findings, the study recommended that government should formulate trade policies that will encourage the growth of domestic private investment in Nigeria. To achieve this, the government should ensure consistency in trade policies and at the same time strengthen the existing policies to build investors’ confidence. Also, the government should make available an investment-friendly environment, as well as monitor real sector operators to ensure that foreign exchange allocations are not diverted. Government should increase capital investment in education, housing, transportation, agriculture, health, power, road construction, and national defense, among others that will help the various sectors of the economy to function very well thereby making the business environment friendly to enhance the growth and development of the country.

George-Anokwuru","doi":"10.46827/ejsss.v8i6.1495","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.46827/ejsss.v8i6.1495","url":null,"abstract":"This paper examined the effect of trade liberalization on domestic private investment in Nigeria from 1981 to 2020. To achieve this objective, secondary data on domestic private investment, trade openness, exchange rate and interest rate were sourced from the statistical bulletin of Nigeria’s apex bank. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) technique was used as the main analytical tool. The ARDL Bounds test revealed the existence of long-run association among the variables. The results revealed that trade openness and exchange rate have positive and insignificant relationship with domestic private investment both in the long and short runs. At the same time, interest rate has a negative relationship with domestic private investment both in the long and short runs. Therefore, it was concluded that there is no significant relationship between trade openness, exchange rate, interest rate and domestic private investment in Nigeria during the period of study. Based on the findings, the study recommended that government should formulate trade policies that will encourage the growth of domestic private investment in Nigeria. To achieve this, the government should ensure consistency in trade policies and at the same time strengthen the existing policies to build investors’ confidence. Also, the government should make available an investment-friendly environment, as well as monitor real sector operators to ensure that foreign exchange allocations are not diverted. Government should increase capital investment in education, housing, transportation, agriculture, health, power, road construction, and national defense, among others that will help the various sectors of the economy to function very well thereby making the business environment friendly to enhance the growth and development of the country.

Climate change and environmental degradation have been considered global issues apart from being graded as emerging issues. Climate change is a significant trend because of the adverse conditions witnessed already, and the implications likely to result when the situation is not addressed. The main causes of climate change and environmental degradation are human activities such as burning fossils, deforestation, and human settlement. The decline of the environment has led to national and international security risks as it is linked to food shortages, climate change calamities such as floods or famine, drought, loss of lives, soil erosion, and crop failure due to limited water resources. Countries have had to come together to find lasting solutions to climate change and the decline of the environment as it has raised concern across the world. Besides, there have been solutions that have been agreed by researchers that would minimize the risks of climate change and the decline of the environment, such as afforestation, avoiding the use of plastics, and recycling of waste products. Therefore, environmentally friendly activities have been encouraged in countries across the globe. Article visualizations:
