This study employed a quantitative, non-experimental research design utilizing the exploratory factor analysis technique involving 365 junior high school students in secondary school. A researcher-made instrument developed from an in-depth interview with 12 high school students, from a literature review, and related studies have been utilized. To validate the questionnaire, the researcher employs the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) method where ten (10) experts were selected to review the self-made questionnaire. Item statements that pass the threshold of 0.80 were selected as part of the survey questionnaire while those item statements which failed to reach the 0.80 thresholds were eliminated. Utilizing the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), a total of 40 item statements qualified within the threshold of >0.40 after 16 rotations and iterations thus, making them the factors characterizing students’ attitudes toward learning social studies. These measures are the attitude of students in learning different areas under social studies, cognitive attitude, future academic and career planning, positive behavioral attitude, personal attitude, affective attitude, negative behavioral attitude, practical attitude, reflective attitude, and obtaining a degree in social studies.  Article visualizations:","PeriodicalId":309514,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Sciences Studies","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134135463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this decade, the number of individuals who frequently purchased meals online climbed dramatically. People nowadays prefer their meals to be delivered instead of dining in a restaurant. Hence, it is crucial to understand the customers' expectations to manage a successful meal delivery business. People used to have to dine at restaurants or order takeout, but today OFD businesses provide convenience and have transformed customer behavior. This study also investigates the intrinsic and extrinsic factors influencing Malaysian's meal delivery satisfaction. Questionnaires were distributed to consumers in Petaling Jaya metropolitan area to collect and analyze data for this study. 384 respondents contributed to this study's findings, discussion, and conclusion. This study tested three independent variables that influence customers' satisfaction: hedonic motivation, price-saving orientation, and time-saving orientation. As a result, this study's three independent variables were statistically significant in satisfying customers. In conclusion, this study can be used to increase the usage of OFD services in the future. However, there are many factors to consider, as it was proven that the three independent factors positively contribute to customer satisfaction. Thus, the OFD service developers must create a solid impression that using OFD services is engaging and intriguing. Additionally, marketers must foster the idea that OFD services are integral to the user's lifestyle.  Article visualizations:","PeriodicalId":309514,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Sciences Studies","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122267968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

M. Msoffe, Fauzia Mohamed","doi":"10.46827/ejsss.v8i4.1421","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.46827/ejsss.v8i4.1421","url":null,"abstract":"Gender equality in education has been an issue of interest in developing strategies for many countries across the world whereas gender issues have been integrated into the world development agendas. Despite efforts made to achieve gender equality in education, few countries worldwide have attained full gender parity in secondary education. Tanzania like other SSA countries has worked hard to achieve gender equality in education as given by EFA goal number 5, MDG goal number 3 and currently SDG goal number 5. However, the problem of girls dropping out early from school and poor academic performance continues to be prevalent (URT, 2016). Long school distance is pointed out as one of the factors influencing gender inequality in secondary education. This study, therefore, examined the effects of school distance on girls’ education and its influence on gender inequality in secondary education. The study was guided by three specific objectives, which were carried out through Cross-Sectional - Convergent Parallel Mixed methods research design to allow simultaneous collection and merging of quantitative and qualitative data. The sample was obtained by using simple random sampling and purposive sampling techniques making a total of 101 sample sizes, comprising 79 respondents for quantitative data and 22 for qualitative information. Data analysis involved thematic analysis for qualitative data and descriptive statistics for quantitative findings. Study findings revealed that girls are more vulnerable to the problem of long school distances than boys because of biological formation and socially constructed beliefs about gender roles. The study findings noted that school distance encourages the prevalence of sexual harassment, early sexual relations and teenage pregnancy among school girls all of which lead to poor academic performance and or school dropout. Additionally, this study indicated that school distance coupled with the burden of domestic chores negatively affects girls’ school attendance, classroom learning and academic performance. This study, therefore, concludes that long school distance is one among main factors that affect girls’ education and contribute to the persistence of gender disparities in secondary education. To resolve the problem, this study recommends on the introduction of education PPPs so as to merge efforts among education stakeholders in building school hostels in every community secondary school in the country and fully furnish them with the required facilities.  Article visualizations:","PeriodicalId":309514,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Sciences Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130882698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most participants claimed to use their smartphones for a range of purposes and to devote varying amounts of time to each. When the corona pandemic forces all educational activities to be conducted online, they are using cellphones.

He is a white man »  (Combats pour le sens. Un itinéraire africain, 1997 :172). So was he described by the great Rwandese philosopher Alexis Kagame. Many other African scholars, though they do not express it, would agree with Kagame. But who is really Hountondji? What has been so far his main intellectual focus? Has his commitment to the defense of reason as universality been relevant to Africa and to the world at large? As an African, has he ever made any place for feeling and for Africa in his thought? Those are the questions which have been examined in this reflection. The analytical and deductive method we have used in this paper has led us to two main results. Firstly, though Hountondji is one of the most outstanding African philosophers, there is a lot of feeling in his life and in his thought. Secondly, far from being a Eurocentric thinker, Hountondji is really concerned and engaged with the well-being of the African continent.« Hountondji ? Mais… C’est un Blanc » (Combats pour le sens. Un itinéraire africain, 1997, p.172). Telle fut la description que le philosophe rwandais Alexis Kagame a faite de Paulin Hountondji. Bien d’autres intellectuels africains, même s’ils ne s’expriment pas ouvertement, seraient tentés de dire la même chose que Kagame. Mais qui est réellement Hountondji ? Sur quoi sa recherche a-t-elle essentiellement porté? Son engagement pour la défense de la raison comme universalité a-t-il vraiment été pertinent pour le monde et pour l’Afrique en particulier ? En tant qu’Africain, a-t-il jamais, dans sa pensée, fait une place au sentiment et à l’Afrique ? Telles sont les interrogations que nous avons examinées dans cette réflexion. La méthode analytico-déductive que nous avons utilisée dans cet article nous a conduit à deux résultats majeurs. Premièrement, en dépit du fait que Hountondji est l’un des philosophes africains les plus importants, on retrouve beaucoup de sentiment dans sa vie et dans sa pensée. Deuxièmement, loin d’être un penseur eurocentré, Hountondji est très préoccupé et engagé pour le bien-être du continent africain.  Article visualizations:","PeriodicalId":309514,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Sciences Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130338571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Marrocco","doi":"10.46827/ejsss.v8i3.1414","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.46827/ejsss.v8i3.1414","url":null,"abstract":"The paper presents documents aimed at increasing knowledge and awareness of solutions, mostly nature-based, for saving energy while maintaining thermal comfort in our homes and cities. Such documents consist of text, images, graphs and videos; they can be downloaded for free from the internet and can be used by the teacher with the method felt as the most appropriate. A correct orientation of the building, thanks to the changing solar position during the year, results in a lower exposure to solar radiation in summer, and a favourable exposure to warming solar rays in winter. A compact shape of the building results in a reduced surface area to volume ratio, which minimises both thermal transfers and amount of materials used in the construction. Compactness may also improve earthquake resistance. The thermal insulation of the building often provides important benefits in both winter and summer. An accurate selection of the materials is important, since they may differ greatly from one another in embodied energy, and capacity to be reused or recycled. Plants surrounding a building, if carefully positioned, may contribute to improving the thermal comfort of the occupants. Considering the projected climate change and the heat island effect, actions aimed at maintaining thermal comfort in the streets of our cities may appear as necessary. In this regard, trees, vegetated roofs, green façades and pergolas, especially if well maintained, may provide the necessary cooling benefits in cities affected by global warming. Questo articolo presenta documenti volti ad aumentare conoscenza e consapevolezza su tecniche naturali per risparmiare energia mantenendo il comfort termico nelle nostre case e città. Tali documenti consistono in testi, immagini, grafici e video; sono scaricabili gratuitamente da internet e possono essere utilizzati dall'insegnante con il metodo ritenuto più opportuno. Grazie al variare della posizione del sole con le stagioni, un corretto orientamento dell'edificio permette di avere sia una minore esposizione all'irraggiamento solare in estate, sia una maggiore esposizione ai raggi in inverno. Una forma compatta dell'edificio si traduce in un ridotto rapporto tra superficie e volume; grazie a ciò sono ridotti al minimo sia la quantità di materiali utilizzati nella costruzione, sia i trasferimenti termici. A proposito di questi ultimi, l'isolamento termico dell'edificio può offrire importanti benefici sia in inverno che in estate. Un'accurata selezione dei materiali è importante, poiché possono differire notevolmente tra loro per quantità di energia incorporata e possibilità di essere riutilizzati o riciclati. Le piante che circondano un edificio, se ben posizionate, possono contribuire a migliorare il comfort termico degli occupanti. Considerando il cambiamento climatico previsto e l'effetto isola urbana di calore, possono apparire necessarie azioni mirate al mantenimento del comfort termico anche nelle strade delle nostre città.

The study employed a qualitative methodology, specifically semi-structured in-depth interviews conducted digitally. Ten adult African migrants living in Gothenburg were interviewed and data was analyzed thematically. The Social capital theory and the Conceptual framework for understanding migrant integration formed the theoretical and analytical framework.
