Abstract

This paper has discussed the implications of fake news on the realization of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Delta State, Nigeria. The issue of fake news has progressively interfered with health communication, education programs, and peace-building efforts, as well as trust in institutions- all of which are at the core of SDGs 3, 4, and 16. A mixed methods design was adopted, and 385 valid responses out of 400 questionnaires issued were collected as quantitative data, and 18 key informant interviews with government officials, media professionals, civil society actors, and community leaders were conducted as qualitative data. The quantitative analysis with descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression found that there was a significant negative association between exposure to fake news and awareness of SDG-related initiatives and also demonstrated that exposure to fake news is a significant predictor of low engagement in development programs. Thematic analysis of the interview data proved that fake news dissemination is primarily supported by social media, political actors, blogs, and oral community networks, which erode the trust of people and disturb health, education, and peacebuilding. The research concludes that fake news is a serious challenge to sustainable development in Delta State. It proposes the intensification of media literacy, the improvement of open communication, the institutionalization of fact-checking systems, and community-based sensitization to reduce the effects of misinformation and lead to the achievement of SDGs.

Abstract

Learners’ diversity and individuality demand contextualized and inclusive education anchored on their diversified approach, catering to their academic, social, and cultural contexts. Responding to that reality, the present study explored the dynamics of culturally-responsive teaching (CRT) in basic and higher education in the Philippines as an input for the proposal of an inclusive learning plan for novice educators. Using the descriptive qualitative approach of research, twelve novice educators were purposively selected to participate in the semi-structured interviews, wherein the results were analyzed using thematic analysis. The study highlighted CRT as an essential practice that fosters inclusive practice, enhances learning by valuing cultural knowledge and respecting different student histories. The research emphasized the necessity of embedding culturally-responsive approaches like improving community engagement and personalizing learning to fire up relevance and access to learning. As part of strengthening the role in induction programs for novice educators, embed an inclusive learning plan in these programs to develop the skills novice educators need to create supportive and culturally sensitive learning environments.

The adoption of flexible work arrangements, family-supportive workplace policies, and a culture that prioritizes work-life integration foster job satisfaction, commitment, and involvement among employees. Against this backdrop, this study examined the impact of work-family balance on job attitudes, specifically job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and job involvement, among employees in Uvwie and Udu Local Government Areas of Delta State. The study adopted a cross-sectional research approach, utilizing structured questionnaires to collect data from 440 respondents across various organizations and was anchored on conservation of resources theory. The findings revealed that work-family balance positively and significantly influences job satisfaction, organizational commitment and job involvement among employees in Uvwie and Udu Local Government Areas of Delta State. The findings underscore the importance of work-family balance initiatives in enhancing employee well-being and organizational effectiveness. The study concluded that ensuring work-family balance is not only beneficial to employees but also serves as a strategic advantage for organizations striving for sustainable growth and productivity. The study recommended among others that Uvwie and Udu Local Government Areas of Delta State should adopt flexible work policies such as remote work options, compressed workweeks, and flexible working hours. These policies will enable employees to better balance their work and family responsibilities, leading to increased job satisfaction and overall well-being.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine how educational institutions use performance evaluation as a tool for human resource development. The study takes a qualitative tack by way of a literature review. The information was culled from a wide range of reliable resources, such as scholarly publications and articles on educational human resource management and performance evaluation. The study's findings highlight the importance of performance evaluation in enhancing the caliber of human resources, especially teachers and school personnel. Teachers' competency, motivation, and professionalism may all be bolstered via the use of performance appraisal, which serves as both an assessment tool and a tool for professional development. Managerial decisions, including those regarding training programs, individual performance enhancement, and competence development, are also based on this. The research also shows that overall educational results and the quality of learning may be improved with the use of a system that is objective, methodical, and continuous for evaluating performance. So, for educational leaders to promote optimum human resource development, performance evaluation must be handled successfully.

Abstract

Post-Soviet Russia pursues very difficult foreign policy objectives in its relations with African states and in doing so it often draws on the relationships, partnerships, and formal and informal networks forged during the Cold War. Russia has abandoned its promotion of socialism to pursue crude economic interests via its business elite, based on values that appear to be in stark contrast to the conventions of Western liberalism. Undoubtedly, the Nigeria-Russia bilateral relations during the Post Cold War have had both good and difficult experience. This study therefore is an assessment of the Nigeria and Russia economic ties from the historical point of view relying on traditional diplomatic theory as a tool to trace the existing diplomatic ties between the two countries. In conclusion, Nigeria-Russia relations have come of age, despite some psychological differences and suspicions, there are lots of gains and work is still needed to be done in the direction of media and cultural exchanges and some trade favorable policies on the part of Russian government to allow more Nigerian exports, while it is desirable that Nigeria and Russia move their bilateral relation to a new level of active cooperation in important and strategic economic sectors. The study therefore recommends among others that the economic relations between the two countries should be strengthening and make more emphasis than before on the development of cooperation at the level of small and middle-size enterprises.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the role of social assistance in poverty alleviation efforts in West Aceh Regency and to identify the social problems arising from the implementation of social assistance programs within the community. The research problems in this study are how social assistance contributes to poverty alleviation in West Aceh Regency and what social problems emerge in the implementation of social assistance programs in West Aceh Regency. This study employs a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach through a library research method. The data collection techniques used in this study include literature review, documentation, and analysis of various scientific journals, academic articles, news reports, and government documents relevant to social assistance and poverty alleviation. The data analysis techniques were carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. This study uses Karl Marx’s theory of structural poverty as the main analytical framework. The results of the study indicate that social assistance plays an important role in helping poor communities fulfill their basic needs through programs such as Direct Cash Assistance (BLT), the Family Hope Program (PKH), food assistance, livable housing assistance, and assistance for the poor through the Baitul Mal of West Aceh Regency. These social assistance programs help improve community welfare, maintain the economic stability of poor families, and support the fulfillment of educational and healthcare needs within the community. However, in its implementation, various social problems were still found, such as inaccurate targeting of beneficiaries, weak validity of poverty data, delays in aid distribution, social jealousy among the community, and misuse of social assistance, including the involvement of aid recipients in online gambling practices. In addition, poverty in West Aceh Regency is also influenced by social and economic inequalities, causing poor communities to continue experiencing limited access to social welfare and economic resources equally.

Abstract

Pura Dalem Balingkang, located in Pinggan Village, Kintamani District, Bangli Regency, preserves a legacy of Hindu-Buddhist syncretism that is directly reflected in its architectural elements. This study aims to identify the Hindu and Buddhist architectural elements present in the temple complex while analyzing their pattern of harmonization within a single sacred space that remains active today. The method employed is qualitative research utilizing architectural archaeology, field observation, interviews with traditional leaders and priests, as well as a literature review of relevant primary and secondary sources. The results demonstrate that Hindu elements, such as the candi bentar (split gate), kori agung (main gate), padmasana (shrine), and meru (tiered shrine), blend with Buddhist elements seen in stupa ornaments, Tantrayana-style naga (dragon) reliefs, and the Shiva-Sogata theological concept, which serves as the foundation for this syncretism. The amalgamation of these two traditions is not merely coincidental but rather a product of the Balingkang Kingdom's history from the 11th to the 13th century, which actively integrated cross-cultural influences. These findings assert that syncretism in Bali is a process of creative and meaningful reinterpretation rather than superficial accommodation.
