Abstract

This study examined the Nollywood offering and Nigerian people and cultures, with a focus on reflections and projection. The study employed interviews and questionnaires as data collection tools. The study adopted reflective-projective theory and cultivation theory as its theoretical framework to guide the study. A sample of 400 residents of Port Harcourt City was employed using a cluster sampling technique. This study found that Nollywood films project social realities and issues in contemporary Nigerian society, and they take their coloration from Nigerian society. Most Nigerians have easy access to home movies and watch them mostly for entertainment purposes while being entertained, getting educated, or enlightened on certain things in society, such as culture, and end up being influenced in some areas of their lives. Nollywood films have a serious influence on the way audiences perceive social reality. Furthermore, the study also found that Nollywood films enable viewers to become familiar with Nigerian culture. Thus, the study concluded that Nollywood movies are avenues for the transmission of cultural heritage from generation to generation, with several appeals to their audience.

Abstract

This study assessed the pattern of news framing of the Ombatse conflict in Nasarawa State from to 2012-2015 in Daily Trust and Leadership newspapers to determine whether the newspapers mediated mayhem through the application of framing ideology. The Ombatse is an Eggon cult-like ethnic group laced with a political agenda formed to influence the structure of power in the state in response to the alleged marginalization of the Eggon people. This study employed four frames to measure the perspective of media reports on the phenomenon. The study used the census sampling technique to select specific dailies over a four-year period. News stories were the unit of analysis, and the data-gathering instrument was a coding sheet. The data established that newspapers reported the conflict predominantly in negative patterns, painting a grotesque picture of the situation, thereby creating more tension in the state, especially during the massacre of over 100 federal security personnel. The study concluded that at the time of coverage, Nigerian newspapers did not mediate through positive framing patterns; instead, they created more tension. The study recommended that, since the role of the media in conflict may either inflame or deflate passion toward the end of conflict, journalists should focus more on positive news reports, especially in a multi-ethnic, complex, and fragile country like Nigeria. Such positivity of media frames is germen in minimizing tension and resolving conflict amid mutual suspicion and fear of denomination.

Abstract

Although stroke is regarded as the second leading cause of death in the world, it is less discussed in the media as such awareness. The study, which was anchored on the Health Belief Model, adopted a qualitative research design, while the interview was employed as the data gathering method from informants purposely selected from the Stroke Rehabilitation Center, Osogbo, Nigeria. Thematic Analysis, with the aid of NVivo 10 Software, was adopted to carry out the analysis. The findings of the study revealed that stroke patients and survivors expressed disappointment with the low attention given to the coverage of the incidence of stroke in Nigeria, despite many myths surrounding it. The challenges encountered by stroke patients and survivors include inadequate stroke information, especially from broadcast media, and lack of awareness. The study recommended that journalists should be more proactive in reporting and discussing stroke, especially regarding symptoms, causes, and management, as a large number of victims exist in developing countries where there is a high prevalence of stroke. It also recommends that the government equip public hospitals with tools and personnel to manage all forms of paralysis.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation and effectiveness of various methods for moral education among intellectually disabled students at SLB Rela Bhakti I Gamping Sleman, a special education school in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The study aims to evaluate specific teaching methods and their impact on students' moral and social development. A qualitative research design was employed, using observations, semi-structured interviews with teachers, and document analysis to gather data. Nine teaching methods were identified and analyzed: lectures, role modeling, habituation, demonstrations, direct practice, thematic learning, group discussions, field trips, and peer learning. These methods were examined for their adaptability and effectiveness in addressing the unique challenges faced by intellectually disabled students. The findings reveal significant improvements in students' social behaviors, empathy, and moral decision-making. Methods such as role modeling and habituation were particularly effective in reinforcing positive behaviors, while thematic learning and field trips provided practical applications of moral concepts. Despite these successes, challenges such as resource limitations, diverse student needs, and inconsistent parental involvement were identified as barriers to implementation. This study contributes to the growing field of inclusive education by offering actionable insights into the integration of moral education for intellectually disabled students. The findings underscore the importance of collaborative efforts among educators, families, and policymakers to create supportive learning environments. Future research should explore long-term impacts and the potential of emerging technologies to enhance engagement and accessibility in moral education.

Abstract

Sharia-compliant investments are gaining traction among younger generations, particularly in Indonesia, where Generation Z represents a significant demographic with growing interest in ethical financial products. This study aims to explore the factors influencing Behavioral Intention to invest in Sharia-compliant stocks by integrating Islamic economic knowledge and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) constructs, including Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, and Facilitating Conditions. A quantitative methodology was employed, utilizing a structured survey distributed to 100 respondents in Surakarta, Indonesia. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to assess the relationships between independent variables and Behavioral Intention. Supporting assumption tests, such as normality, multicollinearity, autocorrelation, and heteroskedasticity, confirmed the validity and reliability of the regression model. The results revealed that Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, and Facilitating Conditions significantly and positively influence Behavioral Intention. However, Islamic economic knowledge did not exhibit a statistically significant effect, indicating that practical and social factors outweigh theoretical understanding in driving investment decisions. The model explained 49.3% of the variance in Behavioral Intention, highlighting the importance of usability, perceived benefits, and social dynamics in shaping Generation Z’s preferences. These findings underscore the need for targeted strategies that emphasize user-friendly platforms, ethical value alignment, and community-driven promotion to enhance participation in Sharia-compliant investments. By addressing these factors, financial institutions and policymakers can foster financial inclusivity and promote sustainable economic growth.

Abstract

On 26th—29th March, 2023, Kamala Harris, the Vice President (VP) of the United States of America’s leftist party visited Ghana. The visit couched as part of the US seeking to strengthen diplomatic ties with Ghana rather generated the opposite response from the Ghanaian religious constituency. In this article, the author argues that, the US’s VP’s visit was rather read by the country’s overwhelming religious constituency as a decoy on the part of the US to advance its neo-colonial cultural revolution as part of the 21st century globalism. Taking the argument from the beginning of the 21st century, the author maintains that, the utopian idea of the US-dominated world that would foster the end of autocracy and birth economic prosperity has arguably failed. The failure of the vision of globalisation is, as the author argues, because America’s pursuit of ideological politics in support of minority sexual rights runs contrary to the aspiration of family as a religious mandate in the orthodoxy and orthopraxy of Ghana’s religious constituency. Consequently, the author analysing online news report about the backlash that emerged from the US’s VP’s visit concludes that, both Ghana’s President and US VP were involved in making use of the word “we” in direct violation of the terms of the social contract that invest “we” in the people, not the presidents as individuals. Concurrently, compounded by a world reeling under the major disruptions that the coronavirus pandemic caused and the impact of the current impasse between Russia and Ukraine, the author maintains that, America’s cultural and social revolution remains the nemesis of the aspirations of globalisation.

Abstract

To investigate sexist variances in the narratives of Malayalam movies concerning the portrayal of adultery, a semiotic analysis employing paradigmatic tradition is used. Analyzing the portrayal patterns, this study identifies and characterizes three typical adultery narrative devices (or tropes) that sexist: the “Good” Adultery (between a married man and an unmarried woman who is in a long-term relationship with the adultering partner), the “Bad” Adultery (between a married man and a woman with unclear marital status [such as a sex worker] or an unmarried woman who engages in a short-term relationship with the adultering partner); and the “Ugly” adultery (between a [married or unmarried] man and a married woman in a short-term relationship). Gender discrimination is identified in these variations, regarding the roles the man and woman assume in adulterous relationships, characterization of them and their affairs, fabrication of narratives, and the responses of the spouses (from acceptance and accommodation to rejection and revenge).

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between authoritarian parenting and adolescent psychological well-being, aiming to clarify how maternal and paternal practices influence developmental outcomes. The research was conducted with 200 adolescents aged 13–19 years, employing standardized measures of psychological well-being and parental authoritarian style. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, percentile-based categorization, assumption testing, correlation analysis, and additional tests based on demographic variables. The findings reveal significant negative correlations between authoritarian parenting and psychological well-being, with maternal authoritarian practices showing a stronger association than paternal practices. While the strength of the correlations was relatively weak, the results highlight that low responsiveness and high demandingness in parenting diminish adolescents’ self-acceptance, optimism, and supportive relationships. Intercorrelation analyses further demonstrated that maternal and paternal low responsiveness were most strongly linked with reduced well-being, while additional tests showed stronger effects among male adolescents and significant differences based on parental education level. These findings align with international research emphasizing the adverse consequences of authoritarian parenting, yet they also underscore the moderating role of cultural norms, socioeconomic factors, and gender. The study contributes to theoretical debates by illustrating how parenting styles intersect with demographic variables to influence adolescent well-being, while also providing practical implications for parenting interventions and school-based mental health programs. In conclusion, the results affirm the need for culturally sensitive approaches to parenting education and policy, and they encourage future longitudinal and cross-cultural research to further explore these complex dynamics.

Abstract

Marriage remains a critical institution influencing individual well-being, family stability, and social cohesion, particularly in collectivist contexts where multigenerational households are common. This study aimed to examine how emotional expressivity—both positive and negative—relates to marital satisfaction among Indonesian couples living with parents or in-laws. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional, correlational design, data were collected from 67 married individuals through validated Indonesian adaptations of the ENRICH Marital Satisfaction scale and the Self-Expressiveness in the Family Questionnaire. Descriptive analyses indicated generally low levels of marital satisfaction, medium to high positive expressivity, and low negative expressivity. Correlation results revealed that positive expressivity was significantly associated with higher marital satisfaction, whereas negative expressivity predicted lower satisfaction, though with varying strength across subgroups. Demographic analyses showed that gender, marital duration, number of children, and income moderated these associations, with positive expressivity particularly salient for women, couples in mid-marriage, and those at or below the minimum wage. These findings align with prior research emphasizing the protective role of positive emotional communication and the risks of negative expression, while extending these insights into the Indonesian cultural context. The study contributes theoretically by integrating cultural and structural moderators into models of marital satisfaction and practically by suggesting that marital counseling and policy initiatives should promote constructive emotional expression to sustain marital stability. Overall, the findings underscore that in multigenerational households, emotional expressivity functions as a key determinant of marital well-being and resilience.

Abstract

This review article explores the remarkable evolution of Singapore's education system, which has been meticulously developed over the past four and a half decades. This system has not only achieved exceptional efficiency but has also garnered global acclaim. A testament to its success is the consistently outstanding performance of Singaporean students in international assessments, in which they frequently outperform their peers from other advanced nations. Singapore's education system is a journey of meticulous crafting from its nascent stages to its current state of excellence. This article examines the various phases of development that have shaped Singapore's educational landscape. A critical aspect of this transformation is the high-quality functioning of educational institutions that are seamlessly integrated into the nation's economic framework. This integration has resulted in an education system that is both compact and robust, thus effectively contributing to Singapore's socioeconomic development. The focal point of this study is the unique administrative and management strategies employed within the Singaporean educational system. These strategies have been instrumental in driving the system towards excellence. The insights presented in this article are drawn from the findings of a 2023 working visit by the administrative delegation of Tashkent State University of Economics to Singapore. Through this visit, the delegation gleaned valuable observations and lessons from Singapore's education model. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of these findings, offering a detailed examination of the elements that constitute Singapore's educational prowess.
