Abstract

The study was carried out to examine the relationship between interest rate and loan default in Pride Microfinance in Ishaka-bushenyi municipality, Bushenyi District, a case of Pride Microfinance Ishaka branch. This study was guided by a mixed research design. Questionnaires and interviews were used as data collection instruments. A purposive sampling technique was used to sample 50 respondents. It was found out that there are high costs of getting business loans by borrowers because of a lack of collateral. The high interest rate level on the borrowers leads to loan default among business borrowers because the profit margin is very low. It was also found out that the possible solutions to reduce loan default were proper loan assessment, motivating good loan clients, reducing interest rates and proper loan monitoring. Also, financial institutions should tighten and follow the possible solutions to minimize high interest rates to favour business borrowers for greater productivity. It was recommended that though the availability and accessibility of loanable funds is very important, the Institution could consider lowering interest rates to enhance loan on time loan repayment. The Institutions could consider the establishment of micro insurance to protect customers. There should be increased monitoring of loan to ensure that funds are not diverted, loans are used for the intended purpose and repayment made on time. The study concluded that financial Institutions have to reduce the costs of getting business loans and interest rate which would encourage borrowers to obtain business loans to effectively operate their business activities and as well as repaying the loans

Abstract

Compared to traditional fuel-powered cars, electric vehicles (EVs) are widely acknowledged as a viable form of transportation and an effective way to address the issues of energy scarcity and air pollution. However, the majority of countries, including China, have recently lowered their preferential treatment and will instead adopt a market-driven strategy to promote EVs. Thus, it is critical to identify the particular elements that support and undermine consumer decisions to choose EVs. This study investigates the impact of perceived value (PV) and consumer ethnocentrism (CE), along with components of TPB, on consumers’ intentions towards the adoption of domestic EVs by using a convenience sample method to collect data. The results showed that attitude, subjective norm (SN), and perceived behavioural control (PBC) positively influence intention. SN positively influences attitude, and attitude plays a mediational role between SN and intention. In addition, PV and CE positively influence attitude towards purchasing domestic EVs. Last, the theoretical and practical implications and limitations are discussed accordingly.

Abstract

The Constitution of the Republic of The Gambia, 1997 is promulgated with the original intent to be a living constitution with clauses that permit amendments. While a constitution is a legal and political document agreed upon by stakeholders as the principal instrument in governing the affairs of a state, it is a liability in the context of its dependency on what the people want it to ‘do’ and therefore, convictions based on cogent evidence need to be made from a different squint. Politization of the living nature of a constitution joint with partisan politics and the resolute nature of the political class in securing their ‘throne’ in democracy expresses the ideology and praxis of presidential pardon as a bait to attract masses to their camps. This research proposes for revisitation of Section 82 of the Constitution in the aftermath of the proclivity of the government to enforce it, notwithstanding the crimes inmates were convicted of. In this research, doctrinal legal research is used and finally concludes that Section 82 is not a constitutional fiat and thus, its application must be guided principally by constitutional ethos and mores in guaranteeing justice through respect and protection of the rights of the people.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of urbanization and demographic shifts on economic development in Thailand, focusing on how these social changes affect key sectors such as tourism, manufacturing, and agriculture. The study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the economic implications of urbanization and aging population dynamics on the Thai economy, particularly through 2022. Using a mixed methods approach, the study combines quantitative data from surveys and statistical analysis, as well as qualitative data from stakeholder interviews. Quantitative analysis using regression models highlights the positive impact of urbanization on economic growth in urban centers, with significant contributions from the services, manufacturing, and tourism sectors. However, rural areas face slower economic growth due to labor migration. Demographic shifts, particularly an aging population, are associated with reduced labor availability, particularly in manufacturing and agriculture, leading to labor shortages and lower productivity. These findings emphasize the importance of addressing the urban-rural gap and adapting policies to an aging population. Key policy recommendations include balancing urban and rural development, optimizing labor force participation of older individuals, and investing in healthcare infrastructure. Limitations of this study include its focus on a specific region and sector, and future research could expand the scope of the impact of social change on other industries, explore longer-term effects, and integrate broader geographic data.

Abstract

Although scholars have written extensively on different aspects of Boko-Haram insurgency in Northern Nigeria, a systematic review of the literature appears to be lacking. The significance of this study lies in its unique approach to addressing the gap in the literature on the Boko-Haram insurgency in Northern Nigeria. While previous works have explored various dimensions of the insurgency, this study makes an original contribution by conducting a systematic review to synthesize the findings of existing studies published between 2015 and 2023. Scopus and Science Direct databases were searched, and 107 journal articles and book chapters were sampled, out of which 46 were excluded for reasons. While 65 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, 28 more papers were excluded for not being relevant. 37 studies were selected having met the review criteria. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, this paper shows how scholars approached the phenomenon of Boko-Haram insurgency. Results show that there is a higher number of works on Boko-Haram, accounting for 24.3% and 18.9% of the publications in 2020 and 2023 respectively.

Abstract

Adolescent mental health is a growing concern in Australia, with various social, environmental, and academic pressures exacerbating anxiety, depression, and stress. This research aims to identify the key mental health challenges faced by Australian adolescents and evaluate the effectiveness of existing social policies in addressing these issues. The study focuses on factors such as social media influence, family dynamics, access to community resources, and the school environment. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including surveys from mental health organizations and interviews with policymakers and psychologists across major Australian cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth, conducted between April 2023 and March 2024. Findings reveal that social media, peer pressure, and academic stress significantly contribute to adolescent mental health issues, with rural areas experiencing limited access to services and heightened stigma. Policy initiatives like Beyond Blue and Headspace are effective but show gaps in outreach to marginalized groups and lack of integration with educational systems. The study recommends improving outreach in rural areas, enhancing mental health professional training, and fostering partnerships between schools and mental health services. Future research should explore the long-term impacts of these recommendations and focus on sustainable solutions for digital health interventions, while also addressing cultural sensitivities and unique community needs in mental health service provision for adolescents.

Abstract

This quantitative non-experimental study delves into the factors associated with academic procrastination among college students. Using stratified random sampling, the identified and included 409 students from different higher educational institutions in Region XI, Philippines. The study adopted validated measurement scales for the Academic Procrastination, Academic Stress, and Fear of Failure. Using SmartPLS 4.0 software a mediation analysis was conducted on the data. The results revealed that college students manifest moderate levels of academic stress, fear of failure, and academic procrastination. Further, significant direct and indirect effects were found to all hypothesized paths thus supporting the hypothesized mediation model of academic procrastination. The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.433) indicates that fear of failure and academic stress together explain 43.3% of the variance in academic procrastination among college students. Implications and limitations of the study were also provided.

Abstract

This study explores how Thailand’s youth balance tradition and modernity, focusing on the impact of globalization and urbanization on cultural identity. The research aims to understand how younger generations engage with traditional practices while navigating the pressures of modern life. The study employs a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and participant observation, targeting youth aged 18-30 in both urban areas (Bangkok, Chiang Mai) and rural regions (Isan) between March and September 2024. The findings reveal a significant disparity in cultural engagement between rural and urban youth. In rural areas, 75% of youth actively participate in traditional cultural practices, while only 50% of urban youth report similar engagement. Urban youth are more inclined to creatively adapt traditions, incorporating them into modern fashion and digital media. In contrast, rural youth maintain a stronger connection to traditional practices due to slower-paced lifestyles and close-knit communities. This research highlights the challenges and opportunities in preserving cultural heritage amidst rapid modernization. It suggests that while urban youth adapt traditional practices, rural youth remain more rooted in them, creating a cultural divide. Future research should explore how creative adaptations of traditions in urban areas can be applied in rural contexts to foster cultural preservation across generations. Additionally, intergenerational dialogue should be examined to reduce conflicts and strengthen cultural identity in a modernizing society.

Abstract

Educational inequality remains a significant challenge in rural India, with disparities in access to infrastructure, teacher quality, and technology hindering equitable learning opportunities. This study examines these inequalities in two rural regions: Barwani, Madhya Pradesh, and Kalahandi, Odisha. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combines qualitative interviews with students, teachers, and policymakers, alongside quantitative data on enrollment, infrastructure, and learning outcomes. Findings reveal that 72% of schools in Barwani lack science laboratories, while 65% of schools in Kalahandi lack digital tools, reflecting severe infrastructural gaps. High student-to-teacher ratios of 70:1 in Barwani and 60:1 in Kalahandi further strain educational quality, exacerbated by a lack of trained teachers. Poor access to technology and unreliable internet connectivity limit digital literacy, perpetuating the digital divide. The study also evaluates government interventions such as the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan and digital education initiatives, finding implementation inconsistencies in remote areas. The findings highlight how educational inequality restricts social mobility and economic opportunities, particularly in underdeveloped regions. Future research should focus on the effectiveness of targeted policies and explore innovative, technology-driven solutions to bridge these disparities, fostering equitable educational development and sustainable growth in rural India.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between the school environment and the retention of learners with disabilities in Universal Primary Schools (UPS) within Kasese District, Uganda. Employing a descriptive research design integrating quantitative and qualitative methodologies, the study examines three main objectives: the impact of teacher support, school infrastructure, and school relationships on the retention of learners with disabilities. A total of 154 respondents, including teachers, head teachers, and pupils from six selected UPS, participated in the study. Data collection involved self-administered questionnaires, interviews, and focus group discussions. Findings reveal various home-related factors influencing the retention of learners with physical disabilities, such as poverty, negative parental attitudes, and lack of essential self-help skills training. Despite respondents indicating moderate levels of school attendance and retention for learners with disabilities, enrolment and retention rates remain significantly lower compared to non-disabled peers. The study underscores the need for collaborative efforts among government bodies, school administrators, teachers, parents, and other stakeholders to implement sustainable measures aimed at improving the school environment and enhancing retention for learners with disabilities.
