This study aimed to describe the LULC changes in Saiwa Wetland from 1993 to 2023 and discuss their potential impacts on the rare Sitatunga antelope. We utilized remote sensing and GIS technologies, downloading cloud-free Landsat images from the USGS website, including Landsat TM, ETM+, OLI, and Sentinel images. These images underwent supervised and unsupervised classification to identify spectral signatures of various LULC classes. Post-classification refinement and a multi-date post-classification comparison algorithm using QGIS were employed for change detection. The analysis identified five LULC classes: forested areas, reeds/papyrus, grass/shrub areas, bare areas, and water areas. Results indicated a decrease in forested areas from 37% in 1993 to 34% in 2023 and a reduction in grass/shrub areas from 19% to 16%. Conversely, reeds/papyrus increased from 24% to 26%, and bare areas increased from 6% to 8%. Water areas also saw an increase from 13% to 16%. These changes are attributed to human activities such as logging, mining, and agricultural encroachment, along with climatic changes. We envisage that the LULC changes could have effects on the habitats of Sitatunga antelope whose population has declined dramatically from 200 individuals in 2018 to 60 in 2021 in the Saiwa wetland ecosystem. Immediate conservation and restoration measures are essential to preserve the integrity of the Saiwa wetland ecosystem and its associated biodiversity.","PeriodicalId":499957,"journal":{"name":"Open access research journal of science and technology","volume":"1 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141796214","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}

The data analysis method in this research uses a difference test where this model is used to analyze pre-post or before and after research models. The research results show that there are significant differences in inflation and exchange rates during COVID-19 and post-COVID-19. Post-COVID-19 economic recovery policies such as fiscal stimulus and quantitative easing were able to reduce inflation and stabilize the exchange rate. Coordination is needed between the central, regional and monetary authorities to maintain macroeconomic stability after the pandemic.

This paper presents a comprehensive critical literature review aimed at exploring strategies to enhance the retention of international students. By synthesizing existing research, it identifies challenges faced by institutions in retaining these students and evaluates the effectiveness of various strategies in improving completion rates. The review highlights the multifaceted nature of challenges encountered by international students, including academic, social, cultural, and institutional barriers. These challenges often contribute to higher attrition rates among international students compared to their domestic counterparts. Factors such as language proficiency, cultural adjustment, financial constraints, and lack of social support emerge as significant determinants influencing retention outcomes. Furthermore, the paper critically examines a range of strategies employed by educational institutions to address these challenges and enhance retention rates. These strategies encompass academic support programs, cultural adaptation initiatives, financial assistance schemes, and community-building activities. Additionally, the review explores the role of institutional policies, administrative support structures, and faculty engagement in fostering a supportive environment for international students. Moreover, the paper evaluates the effectiveness of these strategies based on empirical evidence, analyzing their impact on retention rates and the broader implications for institutional outcomes. It discusses the interplay between retention efforts, institutional reputation, and financial sustainability, emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach to student support and success. In conclusion, this critical literature review offers valuable insights into the complexities of international student retention and provides evidence-based recommendations for enhancing retention efforts. By addressing the diverse needs of international students and fostering a supportive learning environment, institutions can not only improve completion rates but also strengthen their global standing and ensure long-term financial viability in an increasingly competitive higher education landscape.","PeriodicalId":499957,"journal":{"name":"Open access research journal of science and technology","volume":"20 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140362699","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}

The paper begins with an exploration of the fundamental principles of blockchain technology and its current applications in the healthcare sector. Special emphasis is placed on the potential benefits and challenges associated with adopting blockchain, setting the stage for an in-depth analysis. In terms of security, the paper examines how blockchain ensures data integrity and immutability, leveraging decentralized structures and smart contracts for robust access control. The discussion extends to the privacy implications of blockchain, highlighting its role in granting patients’ ownership and control over their health data while maintaining confidentiality and anonymity. The analysis also delves into regulatory compliance and legal considerations, ensuring a holistic examination of the privacy landscape. The impact on patient outcomes is a central focus, exploring how blockchain enhances interoperability, streamlines healthcare processes, and potentially transforms the patient experience. Real-world case studies provide practical insights into the positive effects observed in healthcare settings. However, acknowledging the transformative potential comes with an exploration of challenges and limitations. Technical hurdles, ethical considerations, and the need for seamless integration with existing healthcare systems are discussed, providing a balanced perspective on the roadblocks faced in widespread blockchain adoption. Looking towards the future, the paper outlines emerging trends in blockchain and healthcare, offering recommendations for organizations considering implementation. It concludes by summarizing key findings and underscoring the importance of ongoing research, ultimately positioning blockchain as a catalyst for a paradigm shift in healthcare data management.","PeriodicalId":499957,"journal":{"name":"Open access research journal of science and technology","volume":"7 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140362711","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}
