Abstract

Robert Cox has been the most well-known, and prominent intellectual as well, by articulating the building process of historical bloc within the context of the emergence of social forces initially in the nation-state, and his attempt has culminated in the unquestionable power of transnational power in global political economy for those who has vested interest in the identity of hegemony. By the article, we present a tentative attempt in effect by such a hypothetical assumption that the power configurations of social forces, state and world order fell default in their challenge against the unprecedented Virus pandemic while the virus itself has no such configurations as material capability, idea and institutions. The Covid 19 set up its own hegemony literally. The global politics has always been exposed to independent variables not predicted even though collectively or individually measures are taken by states. In this study, we will talk about the emergence of a new hegemonic power with the Covid 19 Pandemic.

Abstract

The belief that God, or the Supreme Being, is the source of all that exists is common among a wide range of African communities that still retain a good measure of their traditional religio-cultural heritage. The Abagusii of Western Kenya is one of the communities that has been exposed to and actually embraced the western culture. This notwithstanding, the Abagusii are still proud of their traditional customs and still maintain a good measure of these practices, either in their original form or with modifications. In this paper we examine the influence of belief in God on the day-to-day activities of the Abagusii and assess the similarity of their religiosity with that of the Judeans as reflected in the book of Ruth. The purpose of this work is to contribute to the on-going debate on inculturation by projecting a trajectory that appreciates the authenticity of all cultures. In comparing the similarity between Abagusii and Judean conception of and interaction with the divine, this paper covers the following key areas: the nature and function of God, human limitations, the relationship between God and humans, the notion of divine intervention, and the influence of religious consciousness on the daily life of the community and its members. The author is cognizant that the Book of Ruth may not provide a comprehensive picture of the Judean concept of God. But it provides a basis for a comparative study on the way community members utilized their religious awareness and identity to govern their daily lives.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate industrial logging in Businga Territory. The survey was carried out by means of a questionnaire addressed to 235 people including 150 men (64%) and 85 women (36%) between 31 and 100 years of age, on the basis of free and informed consent. It emerged from this study that 110 subjects out of the 235 (46.8%) were from SICOTRA company and its surroundings and 125 respondents (53.2%) belonged to from KKF company and its surroundings. Of the 235 people surveyed, only 104 (or 44.3%) were workers from two companies, the rest were heads of groups, capitas, local notables and those who had not worked in either company. 44.6% of the respondents had a primary level followed by 31.9% (or 75 people) with a secondary level. There are 55 illiterate people (23.4%). No university executives were met in the area during the survey. The logging by these two companies (KKF: from 1949 to 1998 (49 years of exploitation) and SICOTRA: from 1980 to 1998 (18 years)) has caused enormous destruction of the ecosystem and the population is today confronted with multiple difficulties and problems of supply of Non Timber Forest Products (caterpillars, snails, mushrooms, Cola acuminata, etc.) and the erosion of biodiversity. Of the 17 forest species exploited in this Sector, 03 have totally disappeared: Diospyros crassiflora Hiern, Nauclea diderrichii (De Wild.) Merr. and Prioria balsaminfera (Vermoesen) Breteler. The majority contacted had no notion of protecting the forest (67.2% vs. 32.8%); the population had no notion of drawing up specifications (95 vs. 5%). The results revealed that the indigenous population did not benefit from their forest, nor did they benefit from basic social infrastructures of community interest. In order to remedy this situation, a good regulation of the forestry exploitation code, the popularization of the new forestry code and the elaboration of specifications in collaboration with local communities are necessary to correct this situation in the future.

Abstract

The present research has been carried out in three different groupings, namely Mudikwiti, Tanganga and Nkata in Kwilu province, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. 165 coalmen from eighteen villages have been considered as the sample used in this work. They are selected from all social strata, and their ages vary from 18 to 30 years old and from 44 to 56 years old. They have made 21,899 ovens, among which there were 12, 287 ovens of small dimensions, that is, 1 m x 6 m x 3 m, and 9,612 ovens of big dimensions: 6 m x 20 m x 3 m. They have cut 196,694 trees of different species to fill in the two kinds of ovens, say 99,984 trees for filling in small ovens and 96,710 trees to fill in big ovens. On the whole, they have produced 852,708 sacks of charcoal per year. The Nkata grouping, with its 11 villages, has produced 129,600 sacks of 45 kilograms, divided as follows: 14,400 sacks from the small dimension ovens and 115, 200 sacks from the big dimension ovens.

Abstract

The world is facing an unprecedented health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The DR Congo with its 90 million inhabitants and more than 500,000 refugees from neighboring countries recorded the first confirmed case in Kinshasa on March 10, 2020. Currently, the country is counting 16,039 cases of infection, 566 cases of death and 13,536 cases of recovery according to the Technical Secretariat Response Team COVID-DRC, (December 23, 2020). After reporting the first case, Congolese government has taken protective health measures whereby it is in a worrying economic situation that was immediately noticeable by the increase in the rate of the foreign currency (the dollar) compared to the local currency. From an extroverted economy, the Covid-19 pandemic has put it in a situation of stagnation, which could lead country into an economic recession if this scourge persists.

Abstract

After a long waited span, the whole world could see the ray of covid-19 vaccine to resist the planet to watch the death procession. But some country people especially the people of Bangladesh keep them aside to take the vaccination. This study aims to understand the perception towards the COVID-19 vaccination program in Bangladesh and the targeted subject is the university student as they are suffering highly depression nowadays. Higher education has been affected globally as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in 223 countries. Moreover, for this pandemic situation, the university students can not complete their graduation which binds them to enter their professional career. Alike all of the developed countries, as well as developing countries, Bangladesh, also considered vaccination as an effective measure to protect the peoples from the Covid-19 virus. This study targeted three psychological factors of the university students and surveyed 322 students from the different universities in Bangladesh to understand their perception regarding vaccines. Moreover, it is seen that most of the students doubt the effectiveness of the vaccine which interrupts them from taking the vaccine willingly.

Abstract

The status of physical working conditions/facilities especially in Nigerian public secondary schools today appears to be of great concern to educators. It seems that the provisions of these school facilities have dwindled over the years, perhaps due to increase in school enrolment rate which had led to population explosion in public schools. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of physical working condition on effective teaching and learning in public secondary schools of Bwari Area Council Abuja, Nigeria. The study is a survey research and the population of the study consists of 540 teachers of 11 public secondary schools in the Council with sample size of 230 determined using Taro Yamane’s formula. Primary data was used through the administration of questionnaire, and the formulated hypotheses tested by Kendal coefficient of concordance method. The findings of the study revealed that Conducive physical working condition; Instructional materials, learning facilities like computers, flips chart and audio-visual disc increases students learning and enhance academic performance; Functional facilities like classrooms furniture’s and libraries improve students’ reading habits, hence increase their performance. Also, the location of Schools encourages parents to enroll their children in Public Secondary Schools. The study concluded that Physical working conditions and school location are effective tool for educational development in general, has a positive impact on the students ‘academic performance. It recommended among others that Federal Capital Education Board Abuja and other Government agencies urgently need to upgrade teaching facilities to meet up with modern demands of secondary school education. Digital facilities should be provided in schools. While the schools’ managers on their part should also try to maintain and manage them very well, also Public Secondary Schools should be located in an area that can provide adequate Playgrounds, gardens and common rooms to enable the students have good recreational activities. And all stakeholders in the school system like Parents, Teachers Association (PTA) have a duty to rise up and contribute to upgrade School facilities in Bwari Area Council of Abuja.

Abstract

A trial was conducted in 2017 at the Higher Institute of Agronomic Studies (ISEA) in Bokonzi with the aim of setting up an egg incubator using palm oil-based combustion as an energy source to produce chicks. During 21 days of hen egg incubation in this tool, temperatures varied between 36.8 and 40°C with a minimum of 35.8°C (day eight) and a maximum of 40.5°C (day three and fifteen). Although the temperature values (40.5°C) are slightly high with consequences on egg hatchability, the range of temperatures recorded during this study is within the acceptable threshold previously outlined by other researchers for hen egg incubation. Thus, with the daily frequency of 3 to 4 egg turnings, the hatchability rate reached 75%. This result is consistent with the values previously obtained by other researchers, i.e. 65 to 75%.  In addition, in terms of production costs, the palm oil heated incubator proved to be superior, resulting in a 79.6% reduction in fuel costs compared to some types of oil heated incubators. This reflects a relative benefit of 875 Congolese Francs (or 0.53USD) per chick produced. This simple technology, using an available energy source, appears to be more adapted to the income of farmers and to the needs of rural communities where hydroelectric and thermal energy sources (oil and gas that produce heat energy) are not accessible at all.

Abstract

With the penetration and spread of the Internet in our daily life, issues related to our identity on the Internet and their potential impacts on our lives, whether positive or negative, have become very important. We, as individuals, interact with a number of websites and services on the Internet that require an account (username and password) to access. These sites range from simple news sites that limit the number of articles that you can read anonymously in a certain period of time, to financial services or healthcare sites or others. Similar services on the Internet require that you know with certainty that you are definitely "you" before granting you access to any private information. Of course, we want them to confirm our identity before allowing access to this type of very sensitive information, which can be used to inflict harm. Take us in different ways if you fall into the wrong hands. The presence in the virtual world has formed the digital identity, and this digital identity has different effects on the morals and habits of the users in this virtual world. Because of the existence of a digital identity, you may also be exposed to some type of privacy crime. In this case, we must study and adapt to create patterns of coexistence and resilience in the digital environment.
