The significant increase in the development of world economy over the last few decades have been experienced a considerable increase in the number of commercial disputes. When there is any business and dealings with contracts the question of dispute must be happened. But all of the parties actually want to run their business well and smoothly. In recent world a massive part of global economy depends on the trans-border business. But disputes in such business dealings sometimes can be the reasons to become risk the inter-relation of those parties. Which can affect the global economy as a whole. Comparing to the disputes inside domestic entities the trans-border or international business disputes can arise as bigger problem because of different jurisdictions, diverse legal systems and tradition. International Court of Justice (ICJ) already has the jurisdiction to try all the international civil suits but Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanism also considered as a viable alternative to resolve the dispute over the court. The international arbitration arises as a way of alternative dispute resolution mechanism which upraise benefits both of the parties and maintain the confidentiality. In this paper details of international arbitration and the broader impact of this mechanism in the global business economy will be focused. The legal status and the implementation process of international arbitration also be the discussing point of this paper.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia seeks to develop the fashion entrepreneurship sector as it is one of the important industries with a positive impact on the local economy. Therefore, the study aimed to prepare a training program in fashion entrepreneurship, with the goal of revealing the effectiveness of the program in enhancing the components of entrepreneurial work (entrepreneurial intentions and entrepreneurial competence) among female students in the fashion design department, as well as its effectiveness in developing the entrepreneurial orientation of the students, and investigating the correlational relationship between the components of entrepreneurial work and the entrepreneurial orientation in fashion among female students in the fashion design department. The study followed an experimental method with a quasi-experimental design using a single group with pre- and post-tests for the same group. It was applied to a purposive sample of 65 individuals, using two scales developed by the researchers: the scale of entrepreneurial work components and the scale of entrepreneurial orientation. The results indicated That the training program developed was highly effective in enhancing the components of entrepreneurial work and also in developing entrepreneurial orientation in fashion entrepreneurship. This was evidenced by statistically significant differences at the significance level (α≤0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental group students in the pre- and post-tests in favor of the post-test. The study also found a positive correlational relationship with statistical significance at the significance level (α≤0.05) between the components of work and entrepreneurial orientation in fashion. Therefore, the research recommends focusing on enhancing the components of entrepreneurial work to contribute to the development of the entrepreneurial sector in fashion.
This study aims to apply different methods for oueme-basin base flow assessment. Of the four separation hydrogam approaches of that exist for the assessment of the baseflow, only the approaches by filter proposed by Nathan & McMahon, Chapman and the one this of Furey and Gupta have been tested in view of an identification of the most suitable method for the evaluation of the baseflow. The application of the method «approaches by filter», watch that the filter of Nathan & McMahon gives some results very little satisfactory in spite of relatively weak values of mistakes. As for the filters proposed by Furey & Gupta, the gotten results present an overestimate of the baseflow during the period of the low flow. Only the filter proposed by Chapman shows a good evaluation of the baseflow all along the year. The method of Chapman is very comfortable and precise. It is evident from these works that the method of Chapman can be used to value the oueme baseflow. The results descended of its application can be used therefore like.
The aim of this project is to reclaim fly ash from the Bargny coal-fired power plant for use in the production of hydraulic concrete, and also to provide economic and environmental solutions for the storage of industrial waste. To achieve this, the materials used were first characterized, in particular cement, fly ash and aggregates (sand, basalt, flint and limestone), in order to determine their physical and physico-chemical characteristics. Next, a campaign to formulate hydraulic concretes and manufacture 16x32cm cylindrical test bodies was carried out, in which cement was substituted by fly ash at different contents (0%, 5%, 10% and 20%). After conditioning in water, the specimens were progressively crushed at 7, 14 and 28 days of curing. The results showed an increase in compressive strength with increasing curing time for a given substitution rate. However, a decrease in compressive strength was observed for all formulated concretes as the fly ash content increased. On the other hand, the strengths obtained with basalt are higher than the target strength at 28 days (25 MPa), even up to 20% cement substitution.
Medicinal plants can be an important element in the treatment of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases involved in the development of metabolic syndrome (MetS). The objective of this work was to evaluate the knowledge of medicinal plants with antidiabetic, antihypertensive and slimming properties used by the populations of the N’Zi Region. Ethnobotanical surveys were conducted in this region with 554 households and 17 healers using a questionnaire. This study made it possible to inventory a total of 69 medicinal plants used against the components of MetS. With 33 species used in households and 56 species used by healers. Spondias mombin (FC= 5.68%), Bambusa vulgaris (FC= 4.55%) and Citrus limon (FC= 4.55%) are the best known among healers. Among the households visited, Persea americana (FC= 23.50%) and Phyllanthus amarus (FC=9,29%) was the best known. The results obtained in this study show that Ananas comosus, Citrus limon and Parkia biglobosa are used both in healers and in households to treat hypertension, type 2 diabetes and obesity. These results show that these plants could be used as improved traditional medicines and could be used in the treatment of certain components of MetS such as diabetes, hypertension and obesity.
This study explores the morphological evolution of the Oued Tensift estuary and the Souiria Laqdima beach over the period 1985–2023, focusing on the impacts of natural and anthropogenic factors, particularly extreme events such as the 2014 floods. By utilizing a combination of diachronic satellite imagery analysis and shoreline mapping through CoastSat software, we identified critical patterns of erosion and accretion, highlighting the vulnerability of these coastal systems to both natural processes and human intervention. The study reveals that coastal changes are not only driven by hydrodynamic forces, such as tidal activity and sediment transport, but are also exacerbated by increasing urbanization near the estuary. The findings underscore the necessity for adaptive and integrated coastal management strategies that consider both immediate risks and long-term environmental pressures, particularly in light of climate change and rising sea levels. Our research offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics governing coastal systems and provides a solid framework for sustainable planning and decision-making to enhance the resilience of these fragile environments.
The mismatch between the needs and availability of socio-community infrastructure in urban and rural areas is a complex problem that requires urgent attention. This study aims to determine the disparities between the needs and availability of socio-community infrastructure in urban and rural areas in the commune of Djougou. To do this, 308 heads of household were interviewed on this issue in rural and urban areas. The data collected are qualitative data. The methods used are descriptive statistics and Chi2 dependency tests. The results of this study highlight significant differences between the perceptions of heads of household between urban and rural areas, particularly with regard to knowledge of land regulations (p-value = 9.628e-07), the distribution of infrastructure (p-value = 3.856e-08) and their impact on land value (p-value = 1.005e-10). These disparities highlight the importance of taking into account the specific perceptions of populations when developing policies and infrastructure projects, in order to better meet the needs and expectations of each environment.
Starting your business requires being passionate and having an asset to be able to devote many hours of work to its development. It is the Congolese woman who, through her know-how in the field of entrepreneurship, externalizes the different emergences of society. On the other hand, some women spend their time doing nothing and criticizing those among them who dare. It is within this framework that our research takes place, which focused on 50 non-entrepreneurial women from Lemba in order to know their attitudes towards female entrepreneurship.
After analysis and processing of the data, it turned out, according to non-entrepreneurial women, that women entrepreneurs in Lemba themselves take initiatives for the creation of their businesses, and are supported for those who are married by their husbands; but, are models to follow because their businesses are profitable; Furthermore, the Lemba woman entrepreneur is perceived differently (positively and negatively) by the non-entrepreneur woman who, for the most part, does not know where to start, plus they do not have financial support.
Introduction: Occupational risks are common among workers in various industries, including brewing companies. Employees in this sector are frequently exposed to high noise levels caused by machinery vibrations and operational activities. Prolonged exposure to such noise may result in significant hearing issues. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of hearing disorders among brewery workers and explore their association with various risk factors. Data was collected during routine health evaluations at an inter-company occupational health center.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted based on medical and audiometric records of brewery employees. A non-exhaustive sample of workers was selected. Clinical data were extracted from consultation forms, while audiometric information was gathered by analyzing workers' audiogram curves. Data entry was performed using Epi-Info version 7.2.2.6, and statistical analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS version 2.3.
Results: The study involved 169 employees, mostly male (98.2%), with an average age of 51 years (±10.12) and an average length of service of 10 years (±6.88). Hearing loss greater than 20 dB in the worse ear was observed in 21.3% of participants. The minimum recorded hearing loss was 2.5 dB, the maximum 51.3 dB, and the mean loss was 20 dB. Audiometric analysis showed that: 30.2% of the audiograms were normal or near-normal; 34.9% had abnormal patterns suggesting noise exposure; 25.4% had abnormal curves not indicative of noise exposure; 9.5% had ambiguous patterns.
No statistically significant associations were found between average hearing loss and most risk factors, except for age (Likelihood ratio = 15.014; df = 4; p = 0.005) and job seniority (Likelihood ratio = 9.164; df = 3; p = 0.027).
Conclusion: The findings highlight a notable prevalence of hearing impairment among brewery workers, with age and seniority being significant associated factors. These results underscore the need for more targeted investigations and prompt implementation of preventive strategies to protect hearing health in this occupational setting.
The hematologic disorders induced by inhalation of the fume or the vapor and pollutant gases emanating from the foundry in the industrial and mining sectors are not ignored in the literature and were the subject of this research. Results of the 69 old hard-working subjects from 18 to 65 years which took part. An emanating group of the 23 operators founders exposed to the smoke of the metallurgical furnace and another 46 workers drawn from the personnel looking after nonexposed with metallurgical smoke. The samples of blood were taken and subjected to a complete hematologic analysis. After two group (1) case for two (2) witnesses; the results showed that the rates of haemoglobin (Hb) were significantly reduced at the subjects exposed to the smoke of the metallurgical foundry with an average rate of haemoglobin decreased and lower than the normal (12,5mg% ± 2,0). The founders thus developed 13 times more anaemia than the group controls (C) with a GOLD = 13,45; one p-been worth < to 0,00 is (p = 0,00) and one IC = [3,81; 47,60]. The study revealed that the numeration of red globule or érythrocytaire differs between the two groups, with an erythrocytic average = [4,45 ± 0,95]. This research also highlights that according to level of exposure, that there is a relation amount-effect meaning that the more significant the exposure is, the more anaemia is present with a p = 0,00, a GOLD = 13,46; IC = [4,20; 42,22]. The study observes that a proportion of 43% of the founders carry EAR not-adapted. These results indicate that the emanations of the metallurgical smoke of the foundry are toxic for the man and involve a reduction of the hematologic indices which, with a prolonged exposure could be harmful and fatal for the exposed workers.
Our investigation took place in the Hyper Psaro business enterprise as of november 2024 including a MASLACH-MBI Burnout Inventory Test Questionnaire comprising 22 questions with assertions: Never, A few times a year, once per month; A few times a month, once a week, A few times a week, every day; with a score of: 0; 1, 2, 3,4,5 and 6 which allowed us to have these results. This data collection took place between.
The questionnaire was given to 18 workers selected at random; but 10 workers responded to this; whose data was encoded in Excel 2016 and analyzed in Epi.info 7.
Our results concerned 10 workers including 3 women and 7 men from the company mentioned above who revealed professional burnout with a score of 42, and depersonalization with a score of 7, and in order to achieve professional achievement with a score of 42; including the graphics below.
There is a high burnout score SEP 42, i.e. Burnout is high.
Workers have moderate depersonalization because their score is SD 7, that is, the Burnout is moderate.
Workers have a high completion score of SDP 42, that is, burnout is high.
Based on its results, we concluded that workers in the commercial sector can easily develop burnout syndrome, due to the high stress in the workplace. And in our midst, the commercial sector is mostly run by expatriates who do not consider the psychological component of workers. An in-depth study could be considered in this sector to propose preventive measures.
Legal insecurity regarding land in the DRC stems partly from weak law enforcement and partly from a lack of awareness of legal mechanisms and customary practices to protect legally acquired land. In this context, our article aims to raise awareness among Congolese concessionaires and potential land buyers about the importance of legal and extra-legal techniques that allow for the peaceful enjoyment and protection of land and real estate, often targeted by malicious actors such as false claimants and land agents in the absence of adequate safeguards.
Research findings reveal that in the city of Mbandaka, in particular, some individuals posing as rightful claimants—often in collusion with land affairs agents or certain political-administrative authorities—spread fear and unlawfully resell plots belonging to legitimate owners who failed to take preventive measures.
Studies show that proper enforcement and respect for land legislation—which recognizes land titles, particularly the certificate of registration—as well as the implementation of certain extra-legal practices such as fencing and land development, constitute effective measures for securing land ownership for Congolese citizens.
African cities are currently experiencing extraordinary growth in both their physical space and population. This uncontrolled expansion is a major source of imbalances that impact the natural and built environment, urbanization patterns, and the social functioning of urban areas.
In this context, the challenges identified in this study are viewed as opportunities to propose appropriate solutions aimed at renewing environmental policies and positioning African cities on the path toward environmental sustainability.
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the influence of rainfall and temperature on seasonal crop yields (maize, groundnuts, beans and cassava) in the commune of Begoua over the period 2010 to 2023.
Method: This was a cross-sectional, retrospective descriptive survey. In order to achieve this objective, the average temperatures and rainfall in the Commune of Begoua over the period 2010 to 2023 were taken at the meteorological station of the Agency for Safety of the Navigation Air navigation at Africa and Madagascar (ASECNA) Bangui-M’poko. Yields and other agronomic data (production and area) were obtained from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADR) and by documentary review.
Results: Our analysis shows that several rainfall variations have been recorded, around the average water requirement of plants, at Commune level: one (1) deficit year of 1224 mm in 2011, (2) surplus years varying between 1644 mm in 2013 and 1692 mm in 2017 and an interannual average of 1522.29 mm between 2010 and 2023 and an increase in temperatures was recorded from 2020 to 2023. Analysis of the influence of rainfall and temperature on food crops shows that, on an annual scale, rainfall is falling in parallel with the number of rainy days, while temperatures are rising. This drop in rainfall has an impact on cereal and grain legume yields, but cassava yields have not changed much.
Conclusion: In view of these results, it would be very important to take stock of local farmers’ perceptions of climate change and their adaptation strategies to cope with these climatic impacts.
Grasscutter farming is an alternative solution for the fight against poaching. However, diseases are often rampant on farms and very few studies are carried out in this direction. The aim of this study was to prevent the risk of contamination of grasscutter farmers by zoonosis in Côte d’Ivoire. A survey was therefore carried out on 39 farms in the south of the country to collect information on breeders, diseases encountered, their treatments and the pace of cleaning of the grasscutter farms. It appears that all the farmers interviewed were aged between 25 and 62 years old and The majority were male (97.43%). Of these, 74.35% had received training. Also, they carried out other activities. Indeed, 33.33% were farmers, 25.64% breeders, 20.51% civil servants and 20.51% men in small trades. Sixteen percent (16%) of grasscutter farmers cleaned their farms daily, 16% did so weekly and 68% monthly. The most common pathologies were sudden death (84.21%), cannibalism (73.68%), injuries (57.89%) and bristling hair (57.89%). The others (weight loss, diarrhoea, belly bloating and coughing) were observed by less than 50% of farmers. To eradicate them, 58% used medicinal plants, 21% alternated medicinal plants and veterinary products and 10.5% used only veterinary products. On the other hand, 10.5% of farmers did not use any product. This study has made it possible to identify pathologies rampant in the breeding of grasscutters in Côte d’Ivoire and means of control. Training sessions on hygiene rules in livestock farming should be considered.
