Abstract

The State as an institution was born from the will of the people for the realization of activities of common interest, such as: the building of hospitals, roads, schools, electrification, job creation, water etc. As the protector of goods, the state is called upon to fulfill several duties either governmental, when the state exercises its sovereignty to legislate and execute, or administrative when it ensures the management of the public administration for the benefit of the collective welfare thanks to the various taxes, levies and other charges mobilized and/or collected from the population in order to meet its expectations and aspirations. The modern State fulfills five important socio-economic duties, which are: production, regulation, protection, compensation and finally the function of stabilization and stimulation of the economic growth. Through production, the state intervenes not only to produce and create material wealth, but also to ensure the necessary conditions for its creation (e.g., provide adequate infrastructure and create an efficient administration). The state plays the role of the father of the city, must demonstrate certain equity through distributive justice, ensuring the redistribution of income by means of taxation on the income of the individual and the profit of the corporations or by means of aid and social security. Finally, the state has the responsibility of stabilizing and stimulating the economic growth. To achieve this, it is vital to practice the policy of full employment, price stability and very rapid economic growth, with the aim of increasing the quantity, quality and mobility of production factors, it is reflected in the policy of education, scientific research and training as well as labor mobility. Thus, local elected officials are called upon to fulfill these different functions in order to take off the development of their areas of common interest for the benefit of community welfare at the grassroots level.

Abstract

The danger of uncontrolled slaughter of animals delivered to the market was the subject of a study conducted in the City of Yakoma, in the province of Nord Ubangi in the Democratic Republic of Congo, on its border with the Central African Republic. The aim of this investigation was to provide the population of the city of Yakoma with knowledge on the danger that they are facing due to the negligence of the Veterinary Inspection Service, and to popularize the consequences. Experiments by participatory assistance were carried out on 14 cattle of two different breeds (Zebu and Taurine) for three months with two observations per month. Three samples showed seizure (partial and total), resulting in a prevalence rate of 21.4%. Older cattle had more identification than younger cattle. Several public health contamination hazards are permanent due to the absence of slaughter structures and the unwillingness of the meat inspection service to simply collect taxes instead of controlling the circulation of meat.

Abstract

This study was conducted in Gbado-Lite; therefore, it had the objective of producing one-day chickens by palm oil weever combustion. The method adopted for this investigation consisted of constructing an incubator using raffia fibers and using the heat offered by the live combustion of palm oil; the eggs were classified in 3 blocks following the rows on a sieve. This source of energy has achieved a temperature threshold of 37.5 to 39.3 ° C, the recommended temperature for artificial incubation; Hatching rate of 88.9 to 93.5% was recorded, a rate close to the natural incubation. This study has a great socio-economic value because with local inputs, chicks are produced in order to be self-sufficient in meat feed.

Abstract

This study examined the utilization of digital media platforms for social change initiatives within teaching hospitals in Rivers State, Nigeria, focusing on University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital and Rivers State University Teaching Hospital. The objectives were to identify the digital media platforms employed, explore the specific strategies used to promote health awareness and patient engagement, evaluate the impact of digital media on healthcare communication and community outreach, and analyze the challenges encountered in leveraging these platforms for social change. Grounded in the social network theory, diffusion innovations theory and technology acceptance model (TAM). The study used a mixed-methods approach, including a structured questionnaire with 384 respondents and in-depth interviews with hospital staff. Findings indicate that widely used platforms include Facebook, WhatsApp, and hospital websites, chosen for their accessibility and broad reach. Digital media strategies primarily focus on information dissemination, health awareness campaigns, and interactive engagement with patients. The study finds that digital media positively impacts healthcare communication by enabling faster information sharing, improving patient engagement, and facilitating community outreach. However, barriers such as poor internet connectivity, privacy concerns, and limited digital literacy hinder the effectiveness of these platforms. Recommendations emphasize the need for improved infrastructure, digital literacy training, and enhanced management support to maximize the benefits of digital media in healthcare. This study contributes to the field by providing insights into digital media's role in healthcare within a resource-limited setting, with implications for enhancing health communication and patient-centered care in similar contexts.

Abstract

This study traces the progression of human knowledge from ancient mythical interpretations to contemporary scientific explanations, investigating the cultural significance of thunder and its role in the development of scientific thought. The goal is to explore how thunder has impacted scientific perspectives and cultural ideas throughout history the shift from supernatural explanations to empirical data and the application of artificial intelligence to modern weather forecasting. The process comprises a review of historical and contemporary scientific literature thus, a textual examination of religious texts from many traditions, such as the Bible, Quran, and Vedas. The findings suggest that although thunder was originally thought to be a sign from God, scientific progress, especially during the Enlightenment, has led to a better understanding of thunder as a meteorological event. Furthermore, the modern world is still impacted by the ancient cultural respect for thunder in popular culture, literature, and the arts. The study concludes that the transformation of thunder's meaning from a representation of divine anger to an occurrence with scientific explanations reflects the advancement of human cognition and the fusion of scientific knowledge with cultural legacies. This knowledge emphasizes how crucial it is to see natural occurrences via cultural and scientific glasses, appreciating the influence of customs while embracing technological progress.

Abstract

Ensuring high-quality education depends heavily on teacher competency. Diagnostic exams can assess teachers' topic knowledge and identify areas where they need to improve their preparation. Nonetheless, gender and education level-based performance gaps underscore the need for a more thorough comprehension of these variables in the Ethiopian educational setting. The purpose was to assess teachers' performance on a diagnostic exam given by standards established by the Ethiopian Ministry of Education and investigate performance differences by gender and educational attainment. Existing studies on teacher competency in Ethiopia have rarely explored the influence of demographic variables, leaving a critical gap in understanding how gender and education level impact performance. Methodology: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using diagnostic test scores of teachers. The relationships between education level, gender, and performance were assessed using statistical techniques such as correlation analysis, t-tests, and chi-square testing. Teachers with an MSc outperformed those with a BSc, with average scores of 75 and 62, respectively. Female teachers passing rate was (62.1%) and the male teachers (68.9%), but the chi-square test indicated no statistically significant association between gender and performance (χ² = 0.05, p = 0.824). Significant disparities in diagnostic test performance highlight gaps in teacher preparedness. Tailored training programs, equitable resource allocation, and gender-sensitive strategies are recommended to improve teacher performance and bridge identified gaps.
