Abstract

In optimization, the transportation problem is of utmost significance. The fundamental idea for solving the transportation problem is to develop methods that lower the overall cost between the source and the destination. Numerous research techniques are given in the literature as solutions to transportation problems. The majority of strategies focus on locating the initial basic, feasible solution to the transportation problem, while some techniques concentrate on locating an optimal solution. To find an initial, basic, feasible solution, Vogel's approximation, the least-cost method, the northwest method, and other methods are used. The Modified Distribution Method and the Stepping Stone Method are gaining acceptance as the optimal solution to the transportation problem. In this research study, a model approach to figuring out the basic, feasible solution for transportation problems with balanced and unbalanced components is proposed based on the average unit cost value of columns and rows. A new table is created using the unit cost values and average unit cost values in the columns and rows and compared to the transportation problem to solve the problem by balancing demand and supply. The proposed methodology is effortless, easy to understand, and simple to use. Comparatively speaking, the algorithmic technique suggested by this work is less complex than the well-known meta-heuristic algorithms in the literature. Finally, provide a case study to demonstrate the proposed approach.

Abstract

Bamboo is the world's fastest-growing plant and the finest conceivable substitute for future wood. It has a wide range of applications, from traditional use to industrial manufacture in many countries. Bamboo has been traditionally used in Ethiopia for the construction of huts and fencing, furniture, containers, beehives, and other small-scale objects. Lack of proper processing practices such as seasoning among the reasons for its low use. When bamboo culms are not properly seasoned, they have a high split and shrinkage rate that led to biological and physical degradations. 3–5year-old samples of Yushania alpinia culms were gathered from Dire-Inchni (Oromia Region). After harvesting culms, were cut into three portions (bottom, middle and top) to investigate the imperative characteristics of the material during the drying process. Kiln and air-drying procedures were used to dry the culms. Regression analysis was used to describe the functional relationship between moisture loss in the kiln and air drying. They had an average initial MC 103.67%, final MC 12.33%, and basic density 0.69 g/cm3. Bamboo culms dried in the kiln took 7.7 days to attain about 12 % final MC, while air-seasoned culms took 97 days. proper stacking, drying, and handling is critical for improving the quality, productivity, and service life of bamboo culms-based constructions and goods in the future.

Abstract

Many scholars regard the incubation process as a mystery because little is known about what unfolds inside incubation hubs. The business incubation process is a critical initiative that can aid in the growth of new firms. However, little research has been conducted to corroborate what occurs within an incubation hub. The study was aimed at understanding what happens to start-ups in incubation hubs. The research was conducted among Harare start-up founding entrepreneurs. The case study approach was used in this qualitative study. Data was gathered using an interview guide. The sample comprised 21 start-up founders divided into three focus groups. Incubation hubs have a good impact on start-up development, according to the research. The findings offer a rare glimpse into the activities of incubation hubs. It was concluded that incubation hubs make a significant contribution that was critical to the development and survival of start-ups. The study contributed to the theoretical gap by adding more literature on start-up development.

Abstract

Despite the burgeoning quantitative progress in tertiary and pre-tertiary levels, popular discourses render a growing concern that the quality of education has deteriorated over the years in Bangladesh. In identifying problems of the educational system in Bangladesh, a majority of previous macro-level studies adopted the approaches of policy-makers, NGOs, international organizations, and other intervening authorities. This study, in distinction, tries to explore the issue from a micro-perspective – students’ views regarding the quality of educational services they received in colleges and high schools, which makes it unique. Using a cross-sectional survey research design, data were collected from 114 first-year students from the University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh. Findings show that regardless of having good teachers, classrooms, and other facilities, students were heavily dependent on private tuition at the pre-tertiary education level. The services and facilities offered by the colleges of the respondents were of better quality than that of their high schools. Schools/colleges in district towns/divisional cities offer better quality services/facilities than those located at the union/village level. Respondents’ SSC result was significantly associated with the locality and quality of classrooms whereas HSC result was significantly affected by computer and internet facilities as well as the overall quality of services/facilities they enjoyed in their colleges.

Abstract

Human Resource Management practitioners have been criticized for lacking business acumen due to the nature of the personnel management concept. There has been a change in Human Resource Management roles from traditional personnel management to Strategic Human Resource Management which seeks to provide organizational competitiveness. This article aims to provide organizational benefits of Human Resource Management to an organization as a result of the Strategic Human Resource Management concept. The strategic nature of Human Resource Management has been revealed in this article as there is evidence of Human Resource Management's contribution to the business success. This paper is a study carried out in a South African State-owned enterprise to identify organizational benefits acquired from Human Resource Management roles. Qualitative research was used in this study, and interviews were administered to obtain data from Human Resource practitioners and departmental supervisors in a state-owned enterprise. 24 participants were purposively selected to provide data for the study. This study revealed that the Human Resource department provides beneficial activities to the organization such as reduction of employee turnover, employee development, employee wellness, and internal communication. The critical discussion provided in this paper would strengthen the body of knowledge on the role of Human Resource Management in improving organizational effectiveness.

Abstract

Malaria is a serious public health problem in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in general and in the city of Butembo in particular. To complete the lack of information, the objective of this article is to identify the different plant species used in the traditional treatment of malaria in the city of Butembo. Ethnobotanical investigations were conducted among 91 traditherapists. Semi-structured interviews with the use of a pre-established questionnaire were used for data collection. This study allowed the inventory of 26 plant species belonging to 18 botanical families. The species of the Asteraceae family are the most solicited by the therapists of the city of Butembo (25.27%). This family is followed by the Myrtaceae and Rubiaceae families, each with a total of 12.09%. Then come the Caricaceae, Poaceae, and Fabaceae with respectively 9.89%, 9.89%, and 8.79% of citations. Leaves are the most used organ (70.33%) in the preparation of drugs. The pharmaceutical form of preparation is decoction (81.32%). The antimalarial recipes are administered by oral (100%). The species most solicited by the therapists are Artemisia annua (12.09%), Eucalyptus maideni var globulus (10.99%), Cinchona ledgeriana (10.99%), Cymbopogon citratus (9.89%), Carica papaya (9.89%), Cassia occidentalis (7.69%), and Bidens pilosa (8.79%). In consideration of these results, phytochemical and pharmacological analysis of these plants is essential to help validate their traditional use and to find new plants with antimalarial potential that would play the first role in the development of improved traditional medicines (ITM) with antimalarial activity.

Abstract

Floristic compositions and vegetative structures are key determinants for selecting nests and roosting habitats of Critically Endangered White-bellied Heron. However, none of the Bhutanese researchers had ever studied to date. Gradient-directed transect methods were adopted using systematic sampling. Vegetation surveys were carried out inside 10 x 10 m (trees), 5 x 5 m (shrubs), and 2 x 2 m (herbs) in 48 plots across the Pochu landscape. The result shows that the Phochu landscape recorded 10 trees species belonging to six families. Pinus roxburghii is the most dominant species with relative density [RD] (86.77%), relative frequency [RF] (37.50%), relative dominance [RD] (79.93%), and IVI (204.20). While, L. ovalifolia and A. lebbeck were the lowest (RD (0.53%), RF (6.25%), RD (0.07%), (0.83%), IVI (6.85), and 7.61 respectively. While shrub constitutes 19 species and belongs to 14 families. Chromolaena odorata (32.15%, n = 933) and Cymbopogon sp. (21.26%, n = 617) were the most dominant herbs, while, Galium aparine (0.03%, n = 1) were lowest with 38 herbs species belongs to 20 families. For vegetative structures, maximum trees (38.62%, n = 73) DBH ranges from the 11-15 cm, which are found in day roosting site 1 (34.25%, n = 25).  While, lowest ((0.53%, n = 1) was DBH ranges of 51-55 cm, 61-65 cm, 66-70 cm and 71-72 cm respectively. Therefore, similar vegetation composition and structure studies are suggested in other core habitats across Bhutan to deduce its habitat ecology for the long-term conservation of Critically Endangered WBH in Bhutan.

Abstract

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate how poverty is changed along with four socio-demographic factors. The study is descriptive, using panel data from 2007 to 2019 by employing Trend Line and Correlation of Coefficient. The Trend Line depicts that life expectancy is increasing, literacy is rising, the population growth rate is fixed, the infant mortality rate is a downtrend, and poverty has been reduced over thirteen years in Bangladesh. The Correlation results showed that the correlation between life expectancy rate and poverty rate as well as literacy rate and poverty rate are negative but significant statistically. Besides, the population growth rate and poverty rate, as well as the infant mortality rate and poverty rate, are correlated and statistically significant. The outcomes indicate that an increasing pattern of life expectancy rates and literacy will decrease the poverty rate in Bangladesh. In addition, the population growth rate and high infant mortality rate increase the poverty rate in Bangladesh. The government should formulate a time-oriented fair policy so that rapid growth of the economy, foreign investment, and capacity to manage risks connected with natural calamities and investment in farming and infrastructure is possible to alleviate poverty. Finally, it is suggested that multidimensionality such as regional disparity and mental health conditions should measure empirically to know the causes of poverty in Bangladesh.

Abstract

Prior research in several management disciplines has shown that Altruistic and Courtesy organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) positively enhances Affective organizational commitment (OC) and Job Satisfaction (JS) in employees. The study aims to test the assumption that Altruism and Courtesy OCB positively influence JS and Affective OC among pharmaceutical executives in Nigeria. A cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey with data randomly collected from selected respondents (N=401). The assumptive model was evaluated with structural equation modeling using advanced analysis of composites software (ADANCO). The structural model had an acceptable fit and internal reliability of constructs. Study findings revealed that altruism OCB was not a significant predictor of JS and Affective OC (p>0.05). Courtesy OCB was a significant predictor of JS and Affective OC (p<0.01). Courtesy OCB's influence on OC is partially mediated by JS. Pharmaceutical executives' level of emotional attachment and sense of connection towards their organization improves substantially in a friendly, supportive work environment. The empirical model supports intra-collegial collective performance and productivity instead of focusing on an individual's altruistic tendencies. The study reinforces the team-based sales approach as well as the need to reward altruistic behavior from employees and subordinates.
