Abstract

Domestic violence is a social ill having a phenomenal rise across communities, cultures, countries. Even after lot many International Conventions, National legislations to arrest its spread, national governments and international agencies have failed to put an end to it. At the same time its dimensions and depth are on rise. Bulk of studies across geographies has been conducted on domestic violence. This has boosted the interest of the authors to navigate into the existing literature on domestic violence. In this article, the researchers have focused on three aspects of domestic from a longitudinal and spatial standpoint. These three aspects are: Definitional issues of domestic violence, Theoretical discourses on domestic violence and Incidences of domestic violence within a time cohort of 1990-2020 along with a review of the policies and conventions. The desk review method has been adopted as a tool for analysis. The authors have noted that some studies are unique; many of them are overlapping in character. But it cannot be said that the existing literature on domestic violence is exhaustive in nature. While the studies reflect many told, still there are many untold areas which need further exploration and explanation.

Abstract

This paper explores disparities in the effect of pollution on confirmed cases of Covid-19 based on counties’ socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. Using data on all US counties on a daily basis over the year 2020 and applying a rich panel data fixed effect model, we document that: 1) there are discernible social and demographic disparities in the spread of Covid-19. Blacks, low educated, and poorer people are at higher risks of being infected by the new disease. 2) The criteria pollutants including Ozone, CO, PM10, and PM2.5 have the potential to accelerate the outbreak of the novel coronavirus. 3) The disadvantaged population is more vulnerable to the effects of pollution on the spread of coronavirus. Specifically, the effects of pollution on confirmed cases become larger for blacks, low educated, and counties with lower average wages in 2019.

Abstract

One of the most effective catalysts of economic growth of any nation is obviously financial inclusion. However, in developing countries such as Zimbabwe gender gap is still an impediment to the achievement of financial inclusion for all. Research findings for this paper show that, increasing women’s financial opportunities and financial awareness on how to access financial products and services will go a long way in reducing the gender gap. Furthermore, increasing access to and use of quality financial products and services is essential to inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction. Although the government of Zimbabwe is taking steps to increase women financial inclusiveness, research shows that women in Zimbabwe trail behind men in as far as access to financial services is concerned. Zimbabwean communities remain dominantly patriarchal and women are always lagging behind in developmental projects meant for their empowerment. This paper seeks to assess the implementation of women’s financial inclusion highlighting opportunities and barriers such as the gender gap and how this may be overcome. The study is qualitative in nature and therefore makes use of interviews and questionnaires for data collection. It is envisioned by the researchers that the research findings will be beneficial to women; their empowerment and development and national development. It is hoped to change the way in which the banking and financial sectors deal with women’s financial inclusion for the betterment of their livelihoods. Furthermore, women’s financial empowerment will improve livelihoods of many families given the caring nature of mothers, sisters, aunts and grandmothers.

Abstract

This paper aims to fill two purposes: 1) we document that housing price index between different cities have inter-correlation. This means that when the housing price in one city goes up the other city follows. However, in the case of a big city and a small city, the housing price index of small city follows the path of housing price index in the small city. 2) The housing price index is a measure of wellbeing and wealth of residents. At the onset of a pandemic, wealthy and richer people have a wealth-protective shield against the disease. We show that this is the case in the US. We document that higher housing price indexes are associated with lower confirmed case of Covid-19 and lower risks of death due to the disease.

Abstract

Land uses involve important economic and environmental implications for policy issues. To monitor the trend in land use in tertiary institution, statistics on land use overtime must be developed. The study investigated the various uses of land in Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU); determine their size base on an area of land covered, and determine the major land uses in OAU to inform planners on the basic tool for institutional physical development and insight for enhancing planning. The Google earth pro and OAU base map were subsequently used to enhance visual interpretation and aid the identification and mapping of the various land use in the study area. Findings from the study show that the total landed area is 5,609 hectares. The undeveloped area constitutes more than half of the total landed area with 3382 hectares (60 %). A total of 1,216 hectares of land was set aside for agriculture purposes and research, the major land uses is residential with 456.74 hectares (45.18%); institutional uses had 257.02 hectares (25.42%); other uses had 115.97 hectares (11.47%); water bodies had 83.5 hectares (8.26%); transportation had 56.33 hectares (5.57%); commercial had 38.36 hectares (3.79%); and Recreation had 3.08 hectares (0.31 %), the least proportion of land use. The study concluded that land use should be monitored, regulated, and controlled by the various relevant planning and monitoring agencies of the university.

Abstract

The present article intends to reflect the appearance of different pandemics in different periods from sociological point of view. Earlier pandemics used to appear without being able to control them; at the historical times without medications, hospitals, motor vehicles, without communications etc. Millions of people died because of spreading unknown diseases such as flu, cholera, black death, plague and the like. Estimates show that the first 15 events killed over 85 million people. Plague in Italy during some years in the 17th century perished many people vs the least of facilities within reach. Similarly, great plague in Spain in mid 17th century took the lives of a large number of people. Great plague of London also in the second half of the 17th century killed more than 100,000 of citizens. Such events not only directly killed older household members, but created bad lives and deprivation for the younger remaining members in such households. Many of such children had to resort to orphanages. Cholera outbreak also appeared in early 19th century in India, Russia and Africa leaving behind a great number of deaths. The flu pandemic at the end of 19th century killed many people. Many countries came to know more on influenza since then. The outbreak of Coronavirus in 2020 is the worst very widespread and global affecting and infecting many people in all corners of the world. Coronavirus pandemic is wide spreading without being prevented. Despite all the existing facilities, it is killing more than the earlier pandemics in terms of time and space. As education and understanding of people are currently higher than before, they highly feel distressed and disordered.

Abstract

In this article we intend to address the context of the school routine that is governed by rules developed by the sectors responsible for school management. In the bureaucratization of school work we see the same meaning and dimensions as the bureaucratization of other sectors of production. As the training of the workforce was transferred to the school, this institution incorporated in its organization and functioning new elements and fundamental characteristics to achieve a good performance as a socializing agency for the worker. On the other hand, the figure of the autonomous teacher, of the humanist, encyclopedist type, has also disappeared. Whether in public education or in the private network, the vast majority of teachers are in the condition of salaried workers. In this way, the process of proletarianization of teaching workers is characterized, characterized by their working conditions. The division of school work, as it developed based on the same principles as the so-called management theories, reinforces the reproduction of capitalist logic in school pedagogical practice because new practices and relationships are crystallized in this practice.

Abstract

Health concerns arising from urbanization requires serious commitment to revamp the Nigerian health sector. In that regards, this study sought to investigate the influence of urbanization and health expenditure on life expectancy and mortality rates in Nigeria from 1981 to 2020. The fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) technique was used to ascertain the influence of urbanization and government health expenditure on life expectancy and mortality rates in Nigeria. From the result of FMOLS, it was observed that urbanization exerts a positive and significant effect on life expectancy; but exerts a negative and significant effect on mortality rates. Moreover, government health expenditure generated a negative and significant effect on life expectancy, but a positive and significant effect on adult mortality. As such, the 15% recommended by the World Health Organization should be given a top priority in order to alleviate the country out of the menace of health tourism that has bedevilled the country over the years.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate knowledge on Simian Orthopoxvirosis or Monkeypox in 180 people (129 males and 51 females) using the stratified probability sampling method. The majority of the respondents were (are): 35-50 years old (45.00%), with secondary education (43.33%), farmers (40.56%) and married (80.00%). The disease appears every year, thus demonstrating its endemic nature (98.33% of the respondents); 58.3% of the respondents said that the disease appears very often during the dry season, on the contrary, 40% of the respondents said that the disease appears during the rainy season. However, 1.7% of respondents said that the disease occurs every other season. The majority of respondents (81.1%) said that the cause of the disease is the consumption of bush meat, followed by wild vegetables (3.3%), fish (2.8%), livestock (2.2%) and caterpillars (1.7%) respectively. 65.2% of the respondents use Manihot esculenta to treat the disease locally, and followed by the leaves and wine of Raphia sese (13%), Morinda morindoides (13%) and Myrianthus arboreus (8.7%). Between January 17 and September 10, 2020, 40 cases of monkey pox were admitted to HGR of Businga (Maximum age: 42 years, minimum age: 1 year, average age: 13.3 years). 28 patients were male and 12 female. It is therefore advisable that surveillance be organized in wild animals and bush meat exposed on the market to ensure that they are not contaminated with Monkeypoxvirus. It is thus needed to establish a veterinary laboratory in Nord-Ubangi Province.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of compost and buckling on the plantain (Musa sp. cv. AAB, var Ngbangele) offshoot power under the conditions of Gbado-Lite in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The experimental device chosen was that of complete randomized blocks comprising 3 repetitions and 4 plots 3 m long. The plots were arranged so that the flamed cultivars were adjacent depending on the substrates including T0: control substrate or unamended plot; T1: substrate from sawdust; T2: substrate from rice husk; T3: substrate from slush. Each plot contained 10 sample suckers of plantains. The greenhouse was installed after applying the buckling technique. It was observed that a bulb produced an average of 4 weaned suckers in the control bulbs; 8 suckers weaned on bulbs installed on substrates originating from slush; 9 suckers weaned on bulbs planted on substrates made from sawdust and rice husk. The releases installed on the control plot experienced a post-buckling recovery rate of 66.7%; those planted on sawdust and rice husk gave 83.3% and the subjects planted on the substrate from slush experienced a recovery rate of 80%; these results showed that the flame suckers adapted to the greenhouse conditions. In view of these results, it should be noted that this technique remains a major asset for the production of healthy suckers and in large quantities.
