Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the awareness and health actions related to the risks of microphone sharing among Christian choir members in Taraba State, Nigeria. Grounded in the Health Belief Model, the study utilised a descriptive survey design, sampling 225 choir members from 10 randomly selected churches across Taraba State, Northeast Nigeria. Data were collected via online questionnaires and analysed using simple descriptive statistics. The findings reveal a low level of awareness about the health risks associated with sharing microphones. The respondents generally demonstrated a negative perception towards these risks, with many expressing disbelief in the potential for disease transmission through shared microphones. Additionally, there was a notable lack of adherence to precautionary measures. The study found that microphones were infrequently cleaned, microphone foams were rarely replaced, and hand hygiene practices—such as hand washing and the use of sanitiser—were not routinely observed. The use of face masks and shields among choir members was also reported as rare. These findings have significant implications for public health practices within religious communities. They underscore the urgent need for increased awareness and education about the potential health risks of microphone sharing. Thus, the study recommends implementing regular cleaning protocols, ensuring the replacement of microphone foams, and promoting personal hygiene measures, including hand sanitisation and the use of face masks or shields during group singing activities. These measures are essential for mitigating health risks and ensuring the well-being of choir members.

Abstract

Over the years, Nigeria has faced serious election fraud, leading many Nigerians to lose confidence in the electoral process. In 2022, the new Electoral Act was introduced, creating more opportunities for the integration of technologies like BVAS and IREV to improve voter accreditation, result transmission, and real-time election viewership for all stakeholders. This development was welcomed by many Nigerians who hoped the Act would restore voter confidence in the country. However, the outcome of the elections, particularly the presidential elections, indicated that the Act failed to meet the expectations of Nigerians. This study therefore examined the Electoral Act 2022 and the election credibility of the 2023 elections. It explored why the Act failed to mitigate insecurity and ensure effective transmission and viewing of election results, which are key to free and fair elections. Using a mixed research approach to data collection and analysis, the study drew on direct responses from voters and stakeholders, scholarly literature, media reports, and findings from election observer groups. The results indicate that while the Act provides a legal framework for stronger elections in Nigeria, it has not sufficiently ensured a free and fair election in the presidential polls. The study concludes that the Act alone cannot guarantee transparent elections due to poor implementation by stakeholders and certain grey areas in the Act that were exploited for election manipulation. The researcher recommends revisiting or strengthening these grey areas to prevent manipulation by elites and ensuring effective implementation by all stakeholders. Specifically, the study suggests the integration of technological advancements, such as blockchain for secure voting, electronic voting systems to enhance accessibility, geospatial technology for better logistics management, and secure mobile applications for real-time results transmission, to further bolster election credibility and transparency in Nigeria.

Abstract

International integration enables countries to cooperate, utilizing shared resources for mutual benefit, and promoting global prosperity. There are three levels of integration: global, regional, and bilateral. Economic integration involves joining organizations, signing trade agreements, and facilitating cross-border flows of goods and capital, enhancing market access and productivity. Technology, trade liberalization, and financial openness are major drivers, with AI as a future growth catalyst. Vietnam's integration has bolstered its economy, increasing GDP and export capacity. However, challenges like competitive pressures, dependency on foreign resources, and regional disparities exist. To navigate these, Vietnam needs policies that balance growth, reduce dependency, and preserve cultural identity, ensuring inclusive and sustainable development.

Abstract

This research examines acts of violence by the "Gank Gaza" group in Bali, highlighting legal dynamics and challenges in effective law enforcement. The study analyzes a series of cases involving the group's violence, identifying the patterns and motivations behind their actions. Through a juridical-sociological approach, this research evaluates the response of law enforcement officials, highlighting structural and operational weaknesses that hinder optimal handling. The results of the analysis show the need to increase law enforcement capacity through special training, strengthening intelligence, and collaboration between institutions. The study also emphasizes the importance of preventive approaches, including youth empowerment programs and community awareness campaigns, to address the root causes of gang violence. Thus, this research provides strategic recommendations to strengthen the legal system and create a safer environment in Bali.

Abstract

This study discusses the implementation of Sharia Economic Law principles in overcoming the economic impact of the prolonged Palestinian-Israeli conflict. This conflict has not only destroyed the economic infrastructure in Palestine, but has also led to social difficulties and prolonged political instability. Through a qualitative approach and case study method, this study explores the role of zakat and waqf as short-term and long-term solutions in the recovery of the Palestinian economy. The results of the study show that zakat plays an important role in meeting the basic needs of people affected by conflict, while waqf supports the development of social infrastructure such as schools and hospitals. However, the implementation of these principles is still faced with challenges, especially related to economic blockades and political instability. Therefore, it is necessary to increase Islamic financial literacy, strengthen regulations, and international cooperation to maximize the role of Sharia Economic Laws in economic recovery in conflict areas.

Abstract

Character education in vocational training institutions requires valid and reliable assessment instruments. At Asta Learning Center, the character assessment instrument has not been fully developed. This study aims to (1) identify the characteristics of the character education evaluation instrument at Asta Learning Center in relation to industrial needs, (2) examine the construction of character education variables based on empirical data, and (3) assess the validity and reliability of the developed character assessment instrument. This research uses the Research and Development (RnD) method, conducted from May to June 2024. The assessed character traits discipline, honesty, work ethic, independence, and social concern—are essential for developing competent employees. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) approach, using SPSS 25.0 for Windows, was applied. The results indicate that the Likert-scale assessment instrument meets validity and reliability criteria. The small-scale trial (10 participants) showed a reliability of 0.761 and rtabel = 0.632, while the large-scale trial showed a reliability of 0.758 and rtabel = 0.367. The findings suggest that the developed instrument is valid, reliable, and suitable for use in Asta Learning Center's learning activities.
