This research is interesting to do because the official covid-19 talk show, especially, at the beginning of the pandemic, contains many directives from the government to prevent the spread of covid-19 more widely. However, on the other hand, the use of directive speech acts which can have a strong effect of damaging the face, rarely used in direct speech, so that speakers can save their face and their positive image can be maintained. Therefore, it is very interesting to know what downgraders are used to reduce the face damage in directive utterances. Using the speech act theory of Trosborg (1995) and Blum-kulka, House, and Kasper (1989) to analyze 25 contexts of conversation themes, it was found that there are six functions of directive speech acts that use internal modification of downgraders, such as request, direct, prohibit, suggest, command, and urge. Then, 19 variations of the downgraders markers were found. From the research findings, it can be said that the use of downgraders is important in directive speech acts, especially this can be used to maintain a positive image of the speakers and protect the face of the speech partners, so that communication can be well established. |

| Free and Compulsory Education Policy Implementation; Determining its Relationship with Learners’ Entry Behavior in Public Day Secondary Schools in Kitui County, Kenya | Author : Dr. Peter Mutia Mbalaka, Dr. Selpher K Cheloti, Dr. Redempta Maithya | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Although the Government of Kenya has been boosting effort in implementing free and compulsory education policy, transition from primary schools to secondary schools, retention and completion at Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) have remained below 100 percent. Hence the study purposed to determine the relationship between learners entry behavior and implementation of free and compulsory education in public day secondary schools in Kitui County, Kenya. The study was underpinned on Liberal Educational Theory (LET) and used a descriptive study research design. The target population for the study was 655; 327 public day secondary school principals, 327 Parents Associations (PA) chairpersons of those schools and Kitui County Director of Education (CDE). Data were collected from a sample of 182 respondents; 164 principals, 17 (PA) chairpersons and the Kitui CDE. Data were collected by use of questionnaire for principals, interview schedules for CDE and PA chairpersons and document review analysis. Qualitative data were analyzed based on emerging themes, while quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Hypothesis testing was done using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (Pr) method at a significance level of 0.05. The study findings showed that there was a negative and significant relationship between learners entry behavior and the implementation (transition, retention and completion) rates (r = -.678; p= .01). In view of the forestated results, the study made conclusion that the indirect relationship between the study variables negatively affected the implementation of free and compulsory education. On this basis, the study recommended, among others that secondary school principals should adhere to the policy of admitting candidates regardless of marks obtained at KCPE and promote learners to the next class regardless of performance in previous formative examinations. This, would enhance prospects of 100 % transition, retention and completion in public day secondary schools in Kitui County and Kenya in general. |
| The Use of Qris as a Payment Transaction That Facilitates the Financial Recording Process in an Effort to Increase the Accountability of MSMEs in Denpasar City, Indonesia | Author : Ni Luh Putu Mita Miati, Gde Deny Larasdiputra, I Nyoman Sutapa | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Financial Statement Standards for MSMEs are regulated by the Indonesian Institute of Accountants in the Financial Accounting Standards of Micro, Small, and Medium Entities abbreviated as SAK EMKM. Although there are many benefits obtained when MSMEs record financial statements according to standards, there are still some obstacles, including 65.7% admitting that they do not have a good financial record, and 83.7% rely more on personal funds to finance their business than getting loans from banks (12.7%), relatives (3%), or investors (0.6%). Several researchers have conducted research on the phenomenon of recording financial statements in MSMEs and researchers use these results to develop a research model by trying to explain the indirect relationship between the use of Qris as a payment transaction to the level of accountability through financial recording. This research method uses a Partial Last square (PLS) model with a population of 97,277 MSMEs and a sample of 100 respondents was taken. The results of this study explain that the use of Qris has a direct or indirect effect on Accountability through financial recording. The next suggestion for researchers to test other variables is because from the test results there are still several variables that are able to explain this accountability relationship by 45% when viewed from the R Square Adjusted value. |

| Functions and Authority of the Indonesian Press Council in the Investigation of the Spread of Hoax News in Online Media | Author : Hermina Manihuruk, Iswahyuni | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This study aims to find out about the position and role of the Indonesian Press Council in handling cases at the investigation stage of the spread of hoax news through online media. This study uses normative legal research methods. This research was conducted using library materials or secondary data from various literature and laws and regulations related to this research. This research is analytical-descriptive, so the results of this study indicate that to find out the mechanism of the position of the Indonesian Press Council as a witness in the investigation of cases of spreading hoax news, the Press Law stipulates that in the event of a dispute involving legal issues, the Press Council is given the authority to resolve the dispute in question. Thus, the party harmed by the news must first exercise the right of reply as stipulated in the Journalistic Code of Ethics. Furthermore, the Press Council is not equipped with the legal authority to impose coercive legal sanctions. For example, journalists who supported specific political causes. Although the Press Council was able to identify him, the Press Council was not authorized to impose any sanctions. The Press Council will examine the journalists journalistic work unless it is a public complaint. Suppose the journalists job is proven to violate ethics. In that case, the Press Council can provide a statement of assessment and recommendations so that the press concerned can improve its performance while admitting its mistakes. |

Jakia Sultana | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This article has tried to explore the success factors of East Asian economic development by highlighting seven stylized realities, which include the contributions of structural change and technological change to industrialization and growth, as well as the functions of governments, productivity, investment, and exports. This piece of writing also highlights what other emerging nations such as Bangladesh can learn from the history of East Asian economic development. This is a theoretical study that relied on secondary data. Reference journals, books, local and foreign articles, working papers, websites of relevant organizations, and local and international newspapers were used to compile the data. This essay contends that Bangladesh can learn valuable lessons from East Asias development experience. However, development cannot be directly copied from elsewhere because it is the result of specific socially structured conditions and the process of changing those conditions.

| How American Businesses Could Approach Trade with Companies in South America that Are Located in Adequate and Non-Adequate Countries | Author : Donald L. Buresh, Ph.D., Esq. | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This essay discusses the legal data privacy issues faced when doing business with a European Union (EU) member or a GDPR-compliant country that is not a member of the EU. The EU data transfer requirements are briefly explained, followed by a description of the South American nations that are General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)-complaint or near GDPR- compliant, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay. The paper talks about whether the United States or any of the states in the Union can be considered by the European Commission (EC) to be an adequate country and the impacts of the United States not being an adequate country. The former United States Privacy Shield (Shield) and its predecessor, the International Safe Harbor Privacy Principles (ISHPP), both of which were invalidated by the EC. Although the United States and the EU recently announced the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF), the EC is anticipated to invalidate this framework. It is recommended that companies employ the pre-approved standard contractual clauses (SCCs) as the least risky endeavor to assure personal data privacy. The paper then turns to the issues involved in leveraging existing privacy policies. In this regard, the United States sectoral approach to privacy is examined. The leverage issues that exist when interacting with GDPR-complaint countries are considered. Two lists of recommendations are presented, the first list being more general-purposes, while the second list is specific. The paper concludes by observing that a firm should analyze the privacy laws under which it is covered, select the most inclusive policies and procedures so that the company is compliant with the GDPR and state and federal sectoral laws, and implement the resulting conservative privacy framework. |

Rajaul Karim | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Sex work is not a new concept in Bangladesh; sex work is centuries old. Bangladeshi society does not regard prostitution as a noble profession, so it must face many challenges. The challenges become more complex when a prostitute becomes a mother. In this study, the researchers investigated how a prostitute mother passes her life through these difficulties. The researchers also analyzed the mental and physical violence of the prostitute mothers and their children. 30 participants were collected from the Cumilla district in Bangladesh using the interview method in an unstructured way, and the Snowball sampling method was used to collect the data. The study shows that most sex workers and prostitute mothers suffer from various challenges like child-rearing, childrens education, and security, ensuring nutritious food for themselves and their children, and deficient earnings. Despite having the same motherly feelings as other mothers, prostitute mothers are forced to send their children (78 %) to relatives or maidservants. The rest of the children can stay with their prostitute mothers at the workplace. To survive in society, sex workers must be tense about their future; the matters are excruciating, especially for prostitute mothers. |

| Theology of Trinitarian Communion as Remedy to Insecurity in Africa | Author : Barnabas Shabayang | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :God is a supernatural, Eternal and Omnipotent Being. The rich Christian theology presents God as perfect unity in tri-personal mode of operation. Using the transcendental and contextual method, the research examines the exposition of trinitarian communion as the apex of security, love, unity and tranquility. This notion is captured in the Greek terms of perichoresis and Circumincession – meaning the penetration of the inner coinherence within the psychology of the Trinity. The research assesses the inner dynamics that forms the unity of God in Tri-personal essence, making it serve as a theological discourse to create a culture of peace, love, unity and justice in Africa. These features of metaphoric-psychic-spiritual realities captured manifestly, the ideals of divine essence espoused to model the human domain; thus, serving as remedy against the prevalent culture of feud, conflict and war. In its conceptual womb, Ubuntu structures and tailors a common hegemony of the philosophy of unity to mediate peace in Africa. Thus, the inner coinherence present in the essence of the Trinity is faith-in-action; paving way to resolving concrete African issues on security, finance, agriculture and the likes. The Communion of God in the Trinity therefore, is elixir of unity. |

| Use of Data Driven Index for Profitability Measure of Indian Public Sector Banks | Author : Sk Mujibar Rahaman | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :A strong and sound financial system is a necessary precondition for accelerated growth of an economy. In a country like India, the banking system is the heart of the financial system since they infuse money in the system resulting in additional purchasing power. The rate of financial intermediation, capital formation and rate of economic growth are inextricably linked. Higher the rate of financial intermediation, higher the rate of capital formation and higher will be the economic growth rate and vice-versa. An organized, efficient, well-planned and viable banking system is, therefore, a demanded concomitant for development of a country. But all these requirements can be fulfilled while banks are sustaining a healthy bottom-line. In this backdrop, the present paper strives to suggest a data driven index to assess the profitability performance of Indian PSBs during the study period. |

| Nostra Aetate and Thomas F. Michel’s Approach to Interreligious Dialogue | Author : Patricia Idoko | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Globalization has made interactions between Christians and Muslims not only inevitable but also very urgent. As Francis Arinze notes, we are living in a world in which contacts between peoples, cultures, and religions are happily increasing. Therefore, the need for healthy interaction has necessitated understanding the religious traditions of others. Nostra Aetate was the bedrock for the relationship between Catholics and non-Catholics. One of the fruits of Nostra Aetate was the institution of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue (PCID). As the Director of PCID, Thomas F. Michel SJ promoted programs that fostered conversations between Catholics and non-Catholics. According to Michel, three phrases from Nostra Aetate shaped his concept of interreligious dialogue: The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems. They adore the One, God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all-powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth Since in centuries, not a few quarrels and hostilities have arisen between Christians and Moslems. This sacred synod urges all to forget the past and to work sincerely for mutual understanding and to preserve as well as to promote together for the benefit of all mankind social justice and moral welfare, as well as peace and freedom. According to Michel, these phrases from Nostra Aetate challenge Christians and Muslims to work together in four essential areas: 1) to build peace 2), to work for justice 3), to defend moral values, and 4), to work for freedom. Michel asserts that to respond to Nostra Aetates challenge, dialogue must go beyond theories and ideas; it must be institutionalized. Michel proposes practical dialogue as a key to an effective interfaith interaction that would transform society. This article analyzes Michels approach to dialogue and contends that Nigeria should consider practical dialogue a significant component of interreligious dialogue between Christians and Muslims. |

| Cognitive Aging And Rhythms Daily Variations In Attentional Performance In Children, Adults And The Elderly | Author : Amadou Meite | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Most of the attentional performance rhythms have been studied in order to organize school peri and extracurricular time in children. The chronopsychological data available on the development of these rhythms are, to our knowledge, rare. It therefore seems necessary, from a developmental and differentia perspective, to address these fluctuations in attentional performance not only in children but also in adults and the elderly. The present study therefore aims to investigate the influence of age and time of day on attentional performance. To do this, 171 participants were divided into three age groups: 88 children (divided into 2 groups: 5-7 years and 9-12 years), 56 adults (divided into 2 groups: 20-35 years and 36-59 years) and 27 seniors (60-72 years). The results indicate that attentional performance varies differently depending on the time of day and that this variation becomes constant and stable with age. Moreover, the level of attention increases with age and this evolution becomes stable from the age of 35. |
| The Effect of Mothers Mindset about Children Ownership on Stunting Prevention in Jember, Indonesia | Author : Asrumi, Agustina Dewi Setiyari, Hanny Rasni | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The communitys view of life and culture is determined by the language of the community itself, both in the form of language sounds and thought patterns, including the mindset about the perceived importance of ownership and nutritious food for infants/toddlers who are vulnerable to malnutrition and stunting (GBS). The problem is how young mothers think about the importance of child ownership and food for their babies/children and how it affects GBS. This is important to know because GBS babies are predicted not only because of economic factors, but because of their mindset. The purpose of this study is to reveal the mindset of mothers who have GBS babies about the perceived importance of child ownership and their toddlers daily diet. This research was conducted in Jember Regency which has a very high rate of GBS babies and maternal mortality. The data is in the form of words and sentences of young mothers about the perceived importance of having a baby/child and nutritious food. Sources of data from participants were young mothers with GBS babies, posyandu cadres, village officials, and community leaders. Collecting data using observation methods, in-depth interviews, and documentation with note-taking and recording techniques. After being classified, the data were analyzed using descriptive analytical, interpretation, and comparative approaches. The results show that the mindset of young mothers who have GBS babies is of the view that ownership of babies/children and nutritious food is very important. However, the fact is that they are still more concerned with nutritious food for their husbands and the purchase of valuable items so that it has an impact on the occurrence of GBS because children are not an asset, but as a deposit and a burden on the family. In conclusion, the mindset of mothers who consider babies/children as family assets affects the prevention of GBS (stunting) babies, starting from pregnancy, baby, and magnification |
