Abstract: The aim of this study was to assess the Self-concept and Emotional Intelligence on the mental health dimensions of Arts and Science (undergraduate) UG students. Mangal Emotional Intelligence Inventory, Self-Concept Scale and Mental Health Inventory were administered on students with Socio-demographic sheet. Purposive sampling method was adopted to students’ sample. ‘t’ test was carried for statistical analysis and interpretation. The results clearly revealed that there is a significant difference in the dimensions of mental health between the Science and Arts emotional intelligence groups. There is a significant difference in the dimensions of mental health between the Arts and Science students of self-concept.

Keywords: Emotions, Emotional Intelligence, Personality, Self-Concept, Human behavior, Mental health, Self-awareness, Managing emotions.

Abstract: Savoring has been part of positive psychology, is contextualized reaction toward the experience of positive events. It is a special form of perceived control over positive emotions. This study aimed to understand and analyze savoring of post-graduation students of arts and science background and also to identify the effect of the demographic variables on the savoring. To study the same, total sample of 120 Science and Arts students consisting of male and female samples were included in the study. To measure their savoring levels constructed by Fred Bryant was administered for the subjects. For the obtained raw score, mean and SD was calculated in each groups. Later independent ‘t’ test was carried out to find the difference between the comparative groups. The main finding of the present study reveals that there is no significant difference between arts and science students on savoring. But there is significant difference in savoring between Arts and Science students and there is significant difference in savoring between Arts female and Science female students.

Abstract: Financial and economic variables fluctuate owing to a variety of causes, including economic conditions, market pressures, government policies, global effects, industry-specific factors, and even random events. Addressing these fluctuations requires the development of accurate forecasting models to help market participants and policymakers adapt to the dynamic nature of stock market volatility. This research models the conditional mean and variance of Nigeria Stock Exchange Banking Index (NGX-BANK) by obtaining the ARIMA model that captures the linear dependency in the return and the optimal Symmetric or Asymmetric GARCH model that captures the time-varying volatility. The research obtained the Value at Risk and forecast future volatility. Ten years daily closing price were used to obtain the estimate of the ARIMA-GARCH, ARIMA-IGARCH, ARIMA-EGARCH and ARIMA-TGARCH models. The returns from the daily price were stationary but not normally distributed showing the asymmetric nature of the returns. ARIMA(2,0,1) captures the linear dependencies and temporal patterns present in the returns of the series. It was established that ARIMA(2,0,1)+EGARCH(4,4) was the optimal model that can capture the structured information regarding conditional mean and volatility. There were no indication of heteroscedasticity or autocorrelation in the ARIMA-EGARCH model's residual. Meanwhile, there exist 1% chance that the loss from the asset will exceed 860.07 in 10 days.

Abstract: This text examines the key aspects of the structure of local administration in Bulgaria and introduces the main positions within it. It outlines the primary areas of interaction between the administration and society, assesses the extent to which these activities are fulfilled, and identifies the main deficiencies. Additionally, the text details the powers of the mayor as the head of the administration and the normative practices for promotion within the organization. The local administration in the country is the public authority closest to the citizens, and its efficiency is crucial for the proper functioning of the state. Therefore, the ineffective transfer of obligations and responsibilities from the state to the municipalities is a significant problem, as it often lacks the necessary funding and other guarantees for successful implementation. In addition to the state's attitude toward municipalities, the role of the employees is also key to the success of local administration. The administration lacks effective approaches to career development and evaluation that motivate and retain good employees.

Keywords: local government, mayor, municipal administration, positions in the municipality.

Abstract: This paper explores a model for cultivating Business English talent within the framework of liberal education, aimed at enhancing global perspectives and cross-cultural communication skills required in the globalized business environment. Through a review of current educational practices and challenges, this study proposes an integrated educational approach that combines the broad, critical thinking and cultural awareness fostered by liberal education with the specific professional skills needed in Business English. The proposed model focuses on curricular innovations, pedagogical strategies, and the incorporation of international experiences to develop well-rounded professionals capable of navigating diverse business contexts. The effectiveness of this model is evaluated through a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods, aiming to provide a comprehensive guide for educational institutions seeking to adapt to the demands of globalization in business education.

Abstract: Within Kenya's research landscape, the concept of project sustainability is increasingly emerging as a widespread issue in both the private and public sectors. Despite witnessing substantial advancements in project implementation, the post-implementation phase often falls short in terms of sustainability, resulting in a meagre number of projects being able to maintain their longevity. This study aimed to contribute to the expanding body of knowledge by investigating the impact of knowledge sharing as a moderator on the association between Stakeholder Identification, Stakeholder Communication, Stakeholder Engagement, and Stakeholder Empowerment on the sustainability of Corporate Social Responsibility Programs (CSRPs) in Technical and Vocational Education and Training institutions (TVETs) in western Kenya. Review of literature and identification of knowledge gaps formed the basis of the conceptual model and hypotheses. The findings revealed that knowledge sharing plays a crucial role in moderating the stakeholder management process and ensuring the long-term sustainability of CSRPs in TVETs. In conclusion, the study establishes that the joint effect of stakeholder identification and stakeholder engagement, moderated by knowledge sharing, has a more substantial influence on the sustainability of CSRPs compared to the separate effects of the predictor variables. To enhance the sustainability of CSRPs in TVETs, the study recommends providing stakeholders with training on effective stakeholder communication and engagement, thereby strengthening the stakeholder management process.

Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a significant global health challenge despite advancements in treatment. Drug repurposing offers a promising approach to discovering novel therapies efficiently. Desloratadine, an FDA-approved antiallergic medication, has shown anticancer properties in HCC. This Short commentary elucidates desloratadine's mechanisms in HCC treatment, identifying its inhibition of N-myristoyl transferase 1 (NMT1) as pivotal. Through disrupting NMT1-mediated myristoylation, desloratadine inhibits the NFκB/Bcl-2 signaling pathway, suppressing HCC progression. Additionally, NMT1 and Visinin-like protein 3 (VILIP3) are identified as significant in HCC, offering potential prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets. The findings advocate for exploring desloratadine's efficacy in clinical trials, potentially revolutionizing HCC therapy and underscoring the value of drug repurposing in oncology. Further research is warranted to validate biomarkers, optimize treatment strategies, and enhance drug delivery systems for improved patient outcomes.
