Abstract

The effects of Climate change alongside its attendant environmental issues have become glaring anddevastating in Nigeria. Is it to talk about the incidence of flood that have cataclysmically wrecked severalstates in the Country, the massive loss of lives and property, or the increased York of poverty anddestitution that have befallen thousands of people as a result of climate change? Good enough, there hasbeen eco-sustainability campaigns and environmentalism in the country. These campaigns aim atstabilizing the earth’s eco systems while encouraging environmental sustainability. Beyond this challengealready posed by the phenomenon of climate change, this Paper seeks to discuss the external challengesmilitating against efficient eco-sustainability campaigns in the Country. The rueful lack of fund, facilities,adequate environmental Training and the menace of corruption, high insecurity, poverty and poorlyregulated population growth, have been found to be these challenges. The Paper however, recommendsconcerted efforts from both the government and other stakeholders, in order to successfully combat climatechange and its effects in the Country.

Abstract

Although climate change is a global issue, likewise its impacts, but the biting effects are felt more by poor and developing countries especially those in Africa due to low level of infrastructural development, awareness and coping capacities. This can become worse if the educational systems of such countries experience serious setbacks as a result of the negative impacts of climate change. A lot of research has been carried out on the impact of climate change in Nigeria and the diverse ecological problems been faced today in the country have been linked to the ongoing climate change. However the impact of climate change on the access to quality education is yet to receive much attention. In this paper an overview of the impact of climate change as it affects schooling has been carried out with a view to spurring research on the subject matter.

Abstract

Trying to explain the recent financial and global crisis effects in Africa, different authors demonstrate that international trade has played a key role as a driving channel. The aim of our work is, subsequently, to assess the effects of international trade indicators on African macroeconomic stability. This study is justified by the dependence of these countries to the fluctuations of international business flows. The baseline assumption of the paper is that international trade may induce high volatility in African countries unduly the type of exchange rate arrangement. The set of international trade indicators include indicators of commercial flows (exportations, importations, and openness) and other indicators (terms of trade, exchange rate). Growth volatility is measured by the conditional variance of per capita GDP growth rate. The conditional variance is extracted using a SAARCH model for each country. Then international trade indicators are included in the growth volatility model with a set of control variables. The results show that between 1980 and 2010, international trade is an important determinant of growth instability in African countries whatever the exchange rate regime.

Abstract

This paper examines the perception of undergraduates toward Agricultural Extension Education (AEE) and Agricultural Development linkage in Nigeria. 188 agricultural students in College of Agriculture, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Aiyetoro, Ogun State and School of Agriculture, Lagos State Polytechnic, Ikorodu were used for the study using percentage, mean score, standard deviation and t-test to analysis data obtained through a questionnaire that was validated by Agricultural extension experts. Result from the study showed that 62.8% of students were male and community was most influencing factor considered in choosing agriculture. 38.3% of respondents perceive AEE as means of developing agriculture. Result also shows that training in agricultural extension (M=2.83) would increase farm output and national income. At 95% confidence interval (p&lt;0.005), there is significance relationships in the students’ perception towards AEE as they agreed that training in extension leads to transformation in agriculture. It is recommended that, there is need for pragmatic youth development and educational programmes of extension for food security and development of agriculture in Nigeria.

Abstract

Recognition of the intellectual, political and patriotic dimension of the members of the High Council, serves not only to recognize their real activity and contributions, but also to understand the political and institutional mentality of the elite of the time and the judgment and assessment they had of the activity of constitutional institutions. Recognition of members of the High Council has been and is limited. Whereas, the need to recognize them is not only a requirement for students of law faculties, but also for the academic staff of teaching in political and legal sciences that give lectures on the history of political institutions of the Albanian state, Constitutional Law, etc. Aqif Pasha Elbasani, Luigj Bumçi, Abdi Bej Toptani, and Dr. Mihal Turtulli were elected members of the High Council from the Lushnja Congress. While from 1920 when that institution was founded until 1925, when the Republic of Albania was founded, members of the UN were also Omer Pasha Vrioni, Ndoc Pistulli, Refik Totani, Ndoc Çoba, Sotir Peci and Xhafer Ypi. Fan Noli and Ahmet Zogu also performed the function of the chairman of KN.

Abstract

Mobile technologies have drastically changed the way people do everyday activities. Tasks previously reserved for desktop environments have moved to mobile devices, and nowadays, half of the internet traffic is stemming from mobile devices. The tourism industry is no exempt from the shift from desktop to mobile. In our research, we check to what extent natural health resorts have adapted and integrated mobile solutions to their websites. We collected data about the friendliness of selected websites using automated online tools and carried out a heuristic evaluation. The results were statistically analyzed and compared. Only roughly half of natural health resorts have optimized their websites for mobile devices. There are no statistically significant differences when comparing purely technical aspects. However, an in-depth heuristic evaluation has shown that some web sites are significantly more mobile-friendly than others and offer better technical conditions for enhanced user experience. Our study is the first technical and contentual evaluation of website mobile devices' friendliness in the natural health resort sector. It warns management, their marketing consultants, and web site developers about the opportunities they are missing by not supporting mobile users sufficiently. Further, it outlines deficiencies and provides suggestions and instructions for optimizing websites to enhance user-friendliness on mobile devices.

Abstract

The sea defense strategy, and concepts related to maritime strategy, relating to the overall strategy for achieving victory at sea. In securing the sea, the navy is very dependent on the main weapons system, especially warships. The Indonesian Navy in carrying out its duties rests on the strength of the IFWS (Integrated Fleet Weapons System): Warship, Aircraft, Marines, and Base. The four components of the IFWS are always maintained in combat readiness. One of the ship maintenance facilities in Surabaya that has the potential to be able to carry out maintenance of Navy ships is PT Pelindo Marine Service in Surabaya. This research uses descriptive qualitative approach. Logistics management theory and SWOT analysis are used by researchers as an analysis tool. The results of this study are the logistics management of PT PMS has ability to maintain Navy ships to support sea defense. Constraints faced by PT PMS include: (1) High sedimentation; (2) Inlet flow is crowded, narrow and shallow; and (4) Small dock capacity. The strategies developed by PT PMS to overcome obstacles in the maintenance of the navy’s ships: (1) Implement efficiency in HR, methods, budgets, and infrastructure to maximize profits; (2) Cooperation with similar companies; (3) Investing: dredging, increasing the capacity of the dockyard, and firefighting equipment, and damage control (controlling losses) so it does not get worse than expected.

Abstract

The primary aim of this study is to analyse any changes in the role of well-being determinants which may have occurred over a period of economic growth in the European Union. To this end, this study revolves around testing the hypothesis that non-income determinants of well-being, such as attendance to religious events and involvement in sports, amass greater importance during a period of economic growth, potentially at the expense of income. This hypothesis is tested using the latest two European Quality of Life Surveys, published by Eurofound for 2011 and 2016. Using microdata only from the ten European countries whose real GDP per capita increased by at least ten per cent between the two waves of the survey, a well-being function is specified for each year, based on well-known findings from the well-being literature. Given the ordered nature of the dependent variable, an ordered logit model is employed and interpreted in terms of average marginal effects. Among other results, findings point towards a decline in the importance of income and greater roles for housing quality and frequent participation in sports and in religious activities during this period of economic growth. These findings should inform and guide policy makers in putting in place policies to facilitate well-being improvements in the European Union and beyond.
