Published: October 2024

Governments all over the world including Nigeria, have preferred better ways to provide welfare services to the citizens with fewer resources. Service Compact (SERVICOM) with all Nigerians was a direct response to improving service delivery in Nigeria which sought ways to provide welfare services to all the citizens with limited resources, enhancing transparency and accountability of public servants. This paper examined the extent to which the application of SERVICOM as a public policy has improved upon service delivery of the Nigerian public service, arising from the background that it serves as the machinery upon which governmental policies are implemented. This paper brought to the fore the critical importance of public service delivery to the citizens in a timely, honest, appreciable and effective manner under democratic dispensation. The importance of SERVICOM has resonated in all public organizations, with an emphasis on healthcare delivery and education sector. The paper however unearthed that some of the reforms of government including SERVICOM has not changed the attitudes of some public servants and other public officers. This paper relied heavily on secondary data collection which included review of related literature, online analysis of some related reforms, use of some periodicals, upon which findings were made. This paper recommended amongst others training, and retraining with ICT touch, and the establishment of monitoring teams to enforce adequate compliance. The national orientation agency should also be empowered to commence enlightenment campaigns for the entire citizens.

Dans la zone soudano-sahélienne du Burkina Faso, et particulièrement dans la commune rurale de Kokologho, la majorité de la population vit d’une agriculture itinérante. Ce type d’agriculture s’appuyait sur la jachère pour entretenir la fertilité du sol. Mais, les changements climatiques combinés à l’augmentation de la densité de la population ont entrainé le raccourcissement de la durée, voire la disparition de la jachère. Cette situation a des répercussions sur la fertilité des sols. L’agriculture étant le principal secteur d’activité et de revenus des populations essentiellement rurales, une étude a été conduite dans la commune rurale de Kokologho afin d’évaluer l’impact de ligneux laissés aux champs sur la fertilité des sols. Ainsi, des prélèvements d’échantillons de sols ont été effectués sous et hors houppiers de Faidherbia albida, de Vitellaria paradoxa et de Daniellia oliveri le long d’un transect suivant les variations de la topo-séquence et les faciès de la végétation afin de comparer les propriétés du sol sous la cime des arbres avec celles du sol environnant sans couvert d’arbres. Puis les échantillons de sols ont été analysés au laboratoire du Bureau national des sols sis à Ouagadougou. Les résultats de l’étude issus des tests de comparaison de Wilcoxon et de l’analyse en composante principale (ACP) ont révélé des valeurs élevées des paramètres de fertilité du sol sous le houppier de Faidherbia albida comparativement au sol sous le houppier de Vitellaria paradoxa et de Daniellia oliveri
ÉLÉMENTS DE THÉÂTRALITÉ DANS EN ATTENDANT LE VOTE DES BÊTES SAUVAGES D’AHMADOU KOUROUMA
Authors:   Université Daniel Ouezzin COULIBALY, Burkina Faso, BAYALA Mamadou
Published: October 2024

Cet article analyse les éléments de théâtralité présents dans le Donsomana, une forme narrative vivante qui transcende les frontières entre le théâtre et le roman. La problématique centrale de l’étude interroge les liens entre le Donsomana et les formes de représentations théâtrales, en particulier à travers l'analyse de l'œuvre En attendant le vote des bêtes sauvages d'Ahmadou Kourouma. L’objectif principal est de montrer comment Kourouma utilise des techniques dramatiques traditionnelles pour structurer une histoire ancrée dans les traditions africaines, tout en montrant un espace riche en symbolisme, en oralité et en rituels. L’étude s’appuie sur les théories de l’analyse du texte dramatique d’Anne Ubersfeld (1996) et les travaux de Prosper Kompaoré (1977) sur la théâtralité dans les formes de représentations africaines traditionnelles. Les résultats montrent que En attendant le vote des bêtes sauvages fonctionne comme une performance théâtrale organisée en veillées plutôt qu'en chapitres, soulignant ainsi la continuité entre le Donsomana et le théâtre africain. Cette étude implique une revalorisation des pratiques narratives africaines en tant que formes théâtrales à part entière, contredisant les critiques eurocentrées qui nient l’existence d’un théâtre précolonial en Afrique

This study investigates the impact of monetary gamble tolerance on investment intentions among people, emphasizing the job of monetary information and personality traits. Utilizing a sample of 284 money students, we employed multinomial logistic regression analysis to explore what monetary information means for risk tolerance and investment choices. Our discoveries uncover that people characterized by elevated degrees of extraversion, suitability, openness to experience, and conscientiousness are more disposed to invest, with monetary gamble tolerance significantly mediating these relationships. Specifically, monetary gamble tolerance completely mediates the connection between neuroticism and long haul investment intentions, highlighting the psychological elements of investment conduct. Additionally, monetary information arose as a significant factor impacting short-term and long haul investment intentions, though it showed limited moderating effects between risk tolerance and investment purpose. These insights highlight the importance of improving monetary literacy and understanding personality traits to foster more educated investment choices. The implications of this research extend to monetary supervisors, institutions, and policymakers, emphasizing the need to promote monetary information and chance tolerance as pivotal components in empowering people to take part in investment activities.

The aim of this activity is to find out the problems of the complete systematic land registration program at the Gorontalo Regency Land Agency and efforts to resolve them. The method used is law with an empirical approach, which presents data according to field facts which are then analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results of the research show that in land registration through the PTSL program there were problems such as a lawsuit for a certificate from the actual owner, where when the PTSL implementation was completed by the village and land agency and a certificate of ownership was issued to those who applied, it turned out that it was suddenly protested by the community who claimed to be the real owner and this happens especially on land abandoned by the previous owner (abandoned); Low public understanding of land tenure law where not all people understand PTSL procedures, so there is still public distrust in making certificates which are considered complicated and take a long time; There are public perceptions regarding the high cost of obtaining certificates, including concerns that they will be burdened by the increasing tax value; and the lack of human resources, especially skilled personnel in villages and BPN in handling land conflict matters and cases. Efforts to resolve this problem are to maximize socialization to the community regarding the terms and conditions and land registration procedures; clarify the status of the land you wish to certify so that it does not overlap; and re-preparing the land registration quota which is still lacking, meaning there is still land in villages in Gorontalo Regency that cannot be accommodated in the PTSL program, which is adjusted to the existing budget.

In the era of globalization, the empowerment of local potential has become increasingly important, especially at the village level. The village of Semar in Pagerwojo District, Tulungagung Regency, is a major dairy-producing area, with 60% of its population engaged in dairy farming. However, the Sri Wigati Dairy Cooperative (KUD), which has traditionally been the primary buyer of milk, is facing management issues, forcing farmers to sell their milk to private collectors with limited capacity. As a result, a significant portion of the milk goes unsold, posing a potential economic loss. To address this, a previous community service initiative taught farmers how to process milk into milk crackers, although these products have remained limited to local consumption despite their added value. Therefore, the focus must shift to the regional or national market. This community service program aims to: 1) enhance the competitiveness of local products, 2) empower the community, 3) optimize the value chain, 4) increase income, 5) develop a sustainable business model, 6) foster partnerships, and 7) improve community knowledge and skills. The outcomes of this initiative align with the established goals, marking a positive first step towards improving the welfare and economy of the Semar Village community.

COMPLAINT AS A LEGAL REMEDY, THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS
Authors: UKSHINI Albana
Published: October 2024

In criminal procedure, a "remedy" refers to a legal solution or course of action that is available to individuals who believe their rights have been violated during the criminal justice process. Remedies are designed to protect the rights of defendants and ensure that the criminal justice system operates fairly and in accordance with the law. Of course, the complaint as a regular legal remedy can be exercised within the specified legal deadlines and in the previous legal procedure. It's important to note that not all legal remedies follow these exact stages, and the specific procedures can vary based on the legal system and the type of case. Additionally, some legal issues may be resolved through administrative processes or through negotiation without ever entering the formal legal system. The judgments issued by the court, with which the party is dissatisfied and which have not yet taken the final form, are struck with legal means. The legal remedies are regulated by the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure and serve to exercise the legal remedy in case of dissatisfaction with the court's decision, therefore we can rightly conclude that the legal remedies are a kind of guarantee for the respect of the rights of the parties in the procedure. The purpose of this paper is to find, through research methods, how these legal remedies are regulated, the changes that have occurred in criminal legislation, their application in practice, where through comparative, statistical, normative and other methods, it will be more easy for us to reach correct conclusions. With the conviction that this work will bring innovation and be a summary for all those readers who intend to study this field in the future.

Authors: GORGIEVA Dijana
Published: October 2024

With the Lisbon Treaty, a new page was opened in the development of EU civil procedure. This is so because тhe Lisbon Treaty has introduced Article 81 (ex-Article 65 EC) as a separate Chapter 3 of Title V on an Area of Freedom, Security, and Justice. With this, civil justice cooperation has gained an autonomous character and become distinct sub-area of the EU policy on Freedom, Security, and Justice.1 More importantly, the approximation of Member States’ civil procedural rules, provided for in Article 81 of the Lisbon Treaty, has gained a central role in the establishment and proper functioning of this Area and the EU in general. Precisely because of this, the subject of analysis of this paper is the new trend in the development of the civil procedure of the EU after the Lisbon Treaty, the advantages that this trend offers versus the old regime in EU and the future directions of development of the civil procedural law of the EU.

Online labor platforms have been disrupting the landscape of employment in recent years. The efficient model of taxation of this new employment model has, however, lagged. This paper aims to provide an early scoping review of the literature on the taxation of online labor platforms. When observed through the stakeholder point of view, we see that cross- and transnational, government-to-platform, and platform-to-employee relationships are the only topics examined so far. This paper can serve other scholars in navigating their investigations related to the taxation of platform work.

Shared mobility can be defined as transportation services and systems that allow individuals to access and use vehicles or means of transportation on a shared basis rather than owning them. Forms of shared mobility encompass ride-sharing, carpooling, bike-sharing, car-sharing, and others. The question that tackles practitioners in the field is how users of these services can be segmented. Therefore, this study aims to segment Serbian users of a ride-sharing platform, BlaBlaCar. The data utilised in the paper was collected through an empirical study conducted from May to December 2023. Employing the k-means clustering algorithm, the resulting segments provide insights into the differences in behaviour, experience, and satisfaction with the BlaBlaCar platform and service among users. This research serves as a potential catalyst for further exploration of segmentation analysis in the fields of sharing economy and shared mobility.

Contemporary business environment alongside the advancement of digital technologies inspires organizations to adopt different business model innovations, embracing concepts like product-service systems (PS systems) and sharing economy. Both approaches are primarily about the creation of added value for those involved in the ecosystem by focusing on providing access to goods and services rather than pure ownership. Consequently, this leads to achieving resource optimization, step-forward sustainable development and advancing overall user experience. While a shift toward models enriched by services, promises enhanced customer value, it also entails uncertainties, organizational challenges and various risks, including managerial, operational or financial. Therefore, this paper examines and compares servitization-based business models grounded on recognized features from the available literature. This should be a starting point for a better understanding of the mutual value of these approaches and the corresponding effects of their application.

Sharing economy is defined as a business model in which individuals (providers) share an unused resource with others (consumers) for a predefined period and price via online platform. Since the model first emerged in the 2000s, it quickly spread in industries such as transport, tourism, apparel, working space, and others. With it, the need of decision-makers and practitioners for a metric and ranking system, emerged. To this day, several metrics have been devised. The composite index which is the focus of this study is the Sharing Economy Index (SEI) 2023, published by Consumer Choice Center. The interest of the paper is to observe and scrutinise the current weighting scheme of the index by applying the statistical multivariate analysis Ivanovic distance (I-distance) and Composite I-distance Indicator (CIDI) methodology. The results show that the SEI structure should be in four pillars, with the most importance awarded to E-Scooters indicator. This paper attempts to draw attention to the field of composite indicators in the field of sharing economy and their methodological aspects.

This study aims to integrate the sensemaking literature with the transformative service research to understand the decision-making processes of economically disadvantaged stakeholders in their interactions with ride-sharing companies. Through an exploratory qualitative investigation, based on the analysis of 53 in-depth interviews and a thematic analysis of the content of the two main social networking groups for vulnerable groups, the study found that the selection of vulnerable actors is influenced by a complex interplay of five elements, leading to three distinct sub-groups: non-switchers, switchers, and double agents. This research presents an empirical model that examines how the sensemaking and decision- making processes of marginalized and vulnerable stakeholders might impact the long-term viability of the business model of ride-sharing companies.
