Social Pension and Development: The Future Prospects of Universal Social Pension On Intergenerational Relations and Rural Development in Tanzania
Dr. Paskas Wagana
Abstract       pdf Full text PDF
Tanzania is experiencing demographic shifts with rising population of older people, majority of whom live in rural areas facing many social and economic challenges. In recent decades, international social policy has applauded social pension as a powerful policy tool in fighting against impoverishment among older generations. This article uses examples of family solidarity in rural areas in Tanzania to speculate how universal social pension will benefit family relations and foster rural development. The study is based on the analysis of 2012 data from a descriptive cross-sectional study, involving older people aged 60+ (n=968) in two rural districts in Mwanza region in Tanzania, to determine the potential effects of universal social pension on both family solidarity and development of rural areas. The analysis also incorporates results from SAUT Survey 2019 data (n=393) conducted in three regions of Tanzania: Arusha, Mtwara, and Mwanza. The results indicate that the family structure in which older people live has strong intergenerational family solidarity. Universal social pension income, which is associated with social and economic development, is significant in reducing poverty and inequalities, promoting health, nutrition, agriculture, and local markets that improve rural development.

Abstract       pdf Full text PDF

Medical records are not only important in the healthcare setting, but to society at large due to theevolution of their primitive roles to other more versatile and flexible functions. Apart from their direct role inhealthcare provision, it is important to explore the potential social and political significance of medical recordsespecially in the context of widening access to patients of their medical records. Their primary role as part ofcommunicating and plan patient care from the compilation of pertinent facts of a patient's life and healthhistory, render medical records as a wealthy source of information that can be generated outside direct careprovision. In this review, the evolution of the roles of medical records are discussed beyond their initial role inthe planning and coordination of care between healthcare providers. Thus, known as a repository of informationand a treasure-trove of facts, medical records are inevitably open to different functions depending on how thisinformation are utilised with the potential of a wider outreach and influence in healthcare as well as society.

Exile Between Dream and Reality: Comparing North African and African Literature
TANJI Lobna
Abstract       pdf Full text PDF

L’allégorie du rêve et de la réalité qui sous-tend la problématique de l’exil chez Ben Jelloun et chez Fatou Diome oblige à dire que le paradis qui nourrit les rêves des uns ne se trouve nulle part ailleurs que chez soi-même, dans son propre pays. Pour véritablement revêtir ses belles couleurs, le rêve ne saurait occulter les réalités du terrain. Les faits observés concourent parfois à contredire ledit rêve au point de le rendre inopérant, inexistant. Le rêve d’immigrer clandestinement ou de façon légale ou pour regroupement familiale s’accompagne, en outre, d’une vague de compromissions qui hypothèquent à la fois l’avenir des jeunes Marocains et le développement du pays. Articulée autour du désenchantement, la réalité suscite chez l’immigré des sentiments neufs au regard de la désillusion qu’elle engendre. La fin du roman devient donc révélatrice d’une plus grande prise de conscience chez les rêveurs, tant le romancier amène les personnages à ne pas confondre leurs ambitions avec la réalité des faits. Ce faisant, il postule une reconfiguration des notions d’appartenance et d’identité en transformant son lieu d’origine au lieu de la quitter pour un hypothétique ailleurs.

George Mugavu, Abel Mucunguzi
Abstract       pdf Full text PDF

Decentralization in Uganda has been considered one of the most instrumental and partly successful policies amongst most of the policies that have been implemented under the National Resistance Movement Government. This is attributed to a well streamlined governance structure with connected checks and balances in case of any breach of the rules of procedure of implementation on providing services by a particular individual or individuals working or acting in a particular local government office.

Student Argumentative Text in Case-Based Learning
Ida Nuraeni, Risvirenol
Abstract       pdf Full text PDF

Scientific development requires every academic person to continue to develop self-abilities that are in line with the goals of lectures, one of which is the ability to be argumentative. This ability is very necessary so that students can think critically in academics. Argumentative writing in a written work must be developed using appropriate learning methods, one of which is the CBL method (case learning method). This learning method has the characteristic of presenting cases that require students to think critically to find solutions to the cases presented. Argumentative abilities in CBL provide opportunities for students to analyze data logically. In casebased learning, data is presented in the form of complex facts and problems to stimulate students to discuss and explore their abilities. This discussion and exploration activity aims to enable students to determine the right solution. This is where an argumentative role is needed. Therefore, students' argumentative writing skills need to be developed through case-based learning. The purpose of this study was to describe student argumentative texts in case-based learning. The research method used is the descriptive-qualitative method. The purpose of this method is to provide an overview of students' ability to write argumentative texts in casebased learning. The results of the study prove that students can compose argumentative texts through casebased learning. The characteristics of student argumentative texts are indicated by components: statements, evidence, and conclusions.


Author Keywords:-argumentative text, case-based learning

Abstract       pdf Full text PDF

The welfare of employees is a fundamental aspect of human resource management as it is vital to influencing commitment to the actualization of goal in both private and public service organizations. Literature reviewed showed that researches largely focus on private organizations. This study is on the effects of welfare on employee commitment in a public service organization with focus on the Tisco Nigeria Limited. The Elton Mayor’s Theory underpins this study. 56 sample size was drawn using stratified sampling technique and a structured five-point Likert rating scale questionnaire was administered to gather responses. The data gathered was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences v26. The outcome of the study shows that even though there are spelt out welfare packages in Tisco Nigeria Limited workers at the firm', employees of the Tisco Nigeria Limited do enjoy these privileges at the same time; at various times employee members have benefited. It was equally revealed that some welfare were not denied members of the employees, but not sufficient to affect their commitment. Although, study further shows employees strongly agreed that welfare has significant effect on employees' commitment. This paper recommends among others that since training and development is significantly related to workers’ productivity, staff training and development should be given the utmost priority and encouraged as a deliberate policy in order to enhance a very high productivity of workers and, as well, promote self-fulfillment.

Change In The Shadows: Microprocesses Negotiate Unplanned Structural Transformation In A Japanese Business Group
Zsuzsanna Járfás PhD
Abstract       pdf Full text PDF

How do actors negotiate unplanned structural changes in mature and complex environments? These organizations are known to resist change and, are likely locked in a state of hyperstability by their embedded structures & processes. This paper draws on an exploratory study conducted in the shipping industry of Japan. The findings substantiate that change is an inherent organizational reality achieved by the integration of stability & volatility within and across aspects of the organizational design. Microprocesses serve as conduits for this integration: stability is reconciled with volatility by embedding microprocesses. This enables members negotiate changes without disrupting the organization. A framework is developed on the knowledge production of change and the integration of stability & volatility in the organizational design. Implications on strategic HRM are discussed, its role in system-wide integration and maintenance of an emergent balance.

Examining the Disparities of INA CBG's: Unveiling the Actual Cost using Activity-Based Costing as a Cost Containment Strategy (Systematic Literature Review)
Deni T. Sugiarto, Mohammad Roziq
Abstract       pdf Full text PDF

This systematic literature review delves into the intricacies of healthcare cost disparities by scrutinizing the differences between actual costs and Indonesia's Case-Based Groups (INA CBG) standard costs. Focused on the application of Activity-Based Costing (ABC) as a strategic cost containment approach, this research aims to provide a comprehensive synthesis of existing knowledge in the field. As healthcare systems strive for financial transparency and equity, the disparities between INA CBG standards and actual costs pose critical challenges. Our systematic literature review navigates through a wealth of scholarly contributions, offering insights into the complexities and potential solutions associated with this disjunction. The findings reveal a nuanced landscape where statistical evaluations demonstrate significant differences in some instances while remaining nonsignificant in others. Beyond statistical significance, the real-world implications of these differences demand careful consideration by governmental bodies and stakeholders. By meticulously analysing the literature, we unravel the potential of ABC as a proactive cost containment strategy, shedding light on its capacity to bridge the gap between INA CBG standards and actual costs. Through this exploration, we seek to contribute actionable insights for policymakers, healthcare administrators, and researchers, fostering a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities inherent in the pursuit of just and sustainable healthcare financing systems.
