CRITICAL ISSUES IN GLOBALIZATION: CASE OF SIEMENS POWER DIVISION IN OMAN [PDF] ASMA AL RAWAHI, DR. MARIA TERESA MATRIANO
Werner von Siemens and John Halske established the German corporation Siemens in 1847 as a telegraph business. In more than 190 locations worldwide today, Siemens employed more than 377,000 people, of whom 30,000 were engaged in research and development with produced revenue of 83.0 billion and net income of 6.2 billion. Energy, healthcare (Siemens healthineers), industry infrastructure, and most recently, electronics and power, make up the company's decentralized structures. In Oman (Barka and Sohar), the business is currently building two combined-cycle power plants. In recent decades, the globalization of economics, politics, cultures, and social has been a major trend. The present study establishes a formal outline that highlights the drivers of globalization. The study also offers suggestions an empirical evaluation of the globalization-related driving forces in international corporations like the Siemens Power Company in Oman. The data sources used by the researcher are secondary sources with reference to the given case study to achieve the objective of the paper which include e-books, electronic journal articles, books, press news and reliable website. Despite numerous problems, the global business environment offers many advantages, including the progress of new technologies, infrastructure, management skills, the creation of employment, the endowment of improved services, and the ability to attract foreign investment capital by exporting goods. Therefore, in the case of Siemens, in order to adapt to the global business environment and identify susceptible regions, it is recommended that Siemens and global corporations should get engaged in information collecting on all environmental aspects worldwide in terms of economy of the country, political stability and etc. It should anticipate a better setting and the use of best practices. Moreover, Siemens should also take the digitization age into account since it is a crucial component in today's environment.

MANAGING CHALLENGES TO SUSTAINABLE ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION IN THE NIGERIA BIOTECHNOLOGY SECTOR: A CASE OF INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TROPICAL AGRICULTURE, KANO STAION [PDF] Shukurat M. Bello, Khalid Adam Yusuf and Muazzam Safiyanu Lamba
The study investigated the entrepreneurship and innovation challenges facing the agricultural biotechnology sector, and the strategies employed in managing them; considering social, economic, and environmental sustainability. The International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) was selected for the study. IITA was selected for its role in revolutionizing agriculture in Africa for the past 50 years using research and innovation, including biotechnology in recent years. IITA aims to enhance the food security, income, and well-being of resource-poor people primarily in sub-Saharan Africa by conducting research and related activities to increase agricultural production, improve food systems, and sustainably manage natural resources, in partnership with national and international stakeholders. The study adopted a semi-structured interview for a comprehensive discussion of the topic. The results showed that lack of youth involvement, farmers’ training, improved seed varieties, skilled researchers, collaborative research, and modern farming techniques including digital farming are some of the challenges facing the agricultural biotechnology sector in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. Some of IITA’s solutions to the aforementioned challenges are youth development programs, collaborative research using emerging techniques of biotechnology, IITA’s mobile applications for farmers, and other innovations in farming; which are now making farming easy and more profitable for farmers in Africa. The study concluded that entrepreneurship and innovation are important factors for economic growth, especially in developing countries, and identification and addressing factors affecting the success of agricultural biotechnology will go a long way in ensuring social, economic, and environmental sustainability in Africa.
Ziziphus jujuba: “A plant with a wide range of medicinal uses and high nutritional value.” [PDF] Mubeen Asad 1, *, Jawad Aamir 1 , Babar Ali 1 & Aneesa Batool 1
Jujube is valued for its high nutritional content and is frequently used in herbal medicine due to its extraordinary health advantages. This unusual plant has been used medicinally and as a fruit since ancient times. Vitamin C, flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, glycosides, and polysaccharides are some of the biologically active components of jujube. It can be put to practical use as an anticancer, antifungal, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, Wound healer, and many more. One of the key health benefits of jujube is its ability to lower blood sugar levels. Jujube contains compounds that help regulate blood sugar, making it a potentially beneficial food for individuals with diabetes. Moreover, jujube has been shown to reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and lower blood pressure, both of which are risk factors for heart disease. Jujube's high antioxidant content also makes it a potent anti-inflammatory agent. Chronic inflammation has been linked to several diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. By reducing inflammation in the body, jujube may help prevent or mitigate these diseases. This article intends to make people aware of its benefits and activities to subdue the number of chronic diseases so that improve the health & prosperity of distinct.
Effects of slaughterhouse effluents in Sabalibougou a district of Bamako on the Niger River [PDF] Brahima Amadou DIARRA, Aïssé BAH, Ousmane DIARRA, Fanta Kaba CAMARA, Boubacar Madio dit Aladiogo MAIGA, Brahima TRAORÉ, Fatoumata FARADJI, Cheickna DAOU , Adougnia KASSOGUE, Kalifa KEITA, Fassé SAMAKÉ2, Amadou Hamadoun BABANA.
The general objective of this study, was evaluated the impact of discharges from the Sabalibougou slaughterhouse on the bacteriological and physic-chemical waters quality of the Niger River. This study a carried during three weeks from December 30, 2019 to February 5, 2020. The effluents they taken from the basins different: treatment basin (BT); flocculation basin (BF); filtration basin (Bfi); exit point (PS), and at the level of the Niger River: discharge point (PR).The results obtained show the effluent of discharges from the slaughterhouse of Sabalibougou have high levels of bacteriological pollution in the effluents above the Malian discharge standards (CF: 1.56×106 CFU/ml; CT: 3.14×106 CFU/ml and SS: 90.6×106 CFU/ml). The presence of pollution indicators in the receiving environment having a negative impact on the Niger River course. The physicochemical characterization of the raw wastewater revealed that this liquid discharge is very loaded with organic matter terms of COD (Avg. = 451.611 mg/L), BOD5 (Avg. = 233.66 mg/L) and mineral matter in Electrical conductivity (Avg. = 652.83 µS/cm). The average nitrate contents; orthophosphates; Nitrites and ammonium respectively are of the order of 2.382 mg/L; 52.67 mg/L; 1.875mg/L and 0.050mg/L. Although this wastewater has a high organic load (BOD5/COD ratios = 0.75; for a standard DBO5/DCO > 0.4), it exhibits satisfactory biodegradability. Examination of the COD/BOD5 ratio = 1.64 clearly underlines the biodegradable nature of the wastewater from the Sabalibougou slaughterhouse, for which biological treatment seems entirely suitable. The study shows that at the point of discharge of these effluents into the river, there is an evolution a state eutrophication state that results, an abundant development of algae (Enteromorpha intestinally a Physic-chemical analyzes d Ulva lactuca) and a high bacterial contamination of the river water at the slaughterhouse level.

JONES POINT OF SALE AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
FOR TRIPLE J ENTERPRISE
[PDF] RYAN A. ARRIESGADO, JOSEFINA R. SARMIENTO
Triple J Enterprises uses DOS based FoxPro application in their retail and wholesale business for years ever since it was established. The system that they used currently was so outdated that even Microsoft discontinued its support of it. Their current system was not stable enough, there were bugs that occasionally occurred and it has very limited system features for a retail and wholesale business. The main problem with it was cannot be installed and run on major versions of windows operating systems like windows seven (7) 64bit, windows eight (8), and windows ten (10). Moreover, as the company progressed the number of purchases and sales records was growing fast, and archiving the old records of it was not enough. The maximum number of records that they can store in their system’s database was roughly two (2) gigabytes per table; this size was not enough to hold at least two (2) or three (3) years of accumulated records.
To solve this problem of Triple J Enterprise, the researcher develops a more stable and more efficient point of sales and inventory management system. The proposed system was designed to meet the business requirements. The proposed system can be installed and run on any version of the Windows operating system and it has the capability to manage and hold terabytes size of accumulated records.
The interviews conducted with the Triple J management became the primary source of information for the study to obtain valid and accurate data which are not often found in books, magazines, journals, and others. On the other hand, secondary data were collected from printed materials like research studies related books and internet sources. The study over conducted a period of 6 months, from the planning of the system to design up to the finalization of the paper and the program interface itself.
