Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study is to analyze the efforts to develop the HR and innovation ecosystem in the digital economy. The research method used is a qualitative analysis method with a litteature study approach. In general, the condition of human resources and digital economy innovation (startup) in Indonesia is still minimal. The lack of human resources makes national digital business actors "nudge" each other to compete for human resources, until finally "damaging" the wage standards of digital human resources themselves. An easier digital industry will certainly be easier to pay dearly for each competent individual. Meanwhile, small industries, which actually train their human resources more from the start, have to "bite their fingers". The portrait of the availability of human resources in the field is still lacking. Therefore, synergies and cointegration between various stakeholders need to be carried out. As a regulator and facilitator, the government must take the initiative to take strategic steps with other stakeholders to contribute positively to human resource development and innovation in the digital economy in Indonesia. One of them is through the implementation of the curriculum from vocational, vocational, and tertiary institutions and accelerated professional/skill certification to overcome the scarcity of human resources. As well as HR planning to support the digital era of entrepreneurship

  The research paper started from a basic approach that the family system is the mainstay of the cultural bridge that conveys the value and educational framework for individuals, as the process of social formation of the individual’s personality begins through the process of socialization that he receives and the interactions that take place within the family. The social environment, considering that whenever the moral and ethical framework is compatible with what is prevalent in society, the individual acquires a balanced and normal personality, and on the contrary, whenever the moral breakdown permeates the family system, the individual's personality becomes dysfunctional and disintegrates for his moral building, resulting in a set of deviant behaviors and practices that Issued by adolescents, especially females, as they are in a vulnerable situation. The study aimed to shed light on the deviation of adolescent girls as one of the problems facing Arab societies, based on the relational dimension of adolescence and their family environment. This study is part of descriptive research, as it aims to photograph, describe and analyze the phenomenon of adolescent deviation, based on one of the first axioms of socialization, and following this methodological and theoretical approach, it delineates the social dimension of deviation.

Yemeni women from social traditions perspective
Authors: Bellal Fatma Abdullah Mohammed
Published: November 2022

The current study discusses the most common negative Yemeni traditions that are against women rights and social position. It sheds light on some popular proverbs related and used to confirm these traditions. The essential aim of this study is to identify these negative traditions and proverbs by showing their painful impact on Yemeni women. The researcher attempted to identify the reasons behind such beliefs and offer some solutions that can rule out or at least decrease following these discreditable traditional codes and proverbs. Furthermore, it tends to investigate the conflict between traditional conceptions and the awareness of women's status in society. Structured questionnaire and interviews were used for data collection. The findings show that most of Yemeni women are treated badly and their social position, rights, and existence as a substantial part of this society have no value. The study reveals that the majority of Yemeni people are affected by traditional beliefs as they regard them as essential parts of their identities and sacred codes. Consequently, the reasons behind such miserable traditions are the lack of education and misunderstanding of religion instructions.

Published: November 2022

Daerah Aliran Sungai Manikin terletak di Kabupaten Kupang dengan luasan DAS 45,63 km2 dan panjang sungai utama 8,62 km. Pada musim kemarau, sungai utama hampir tidak ada memiliki baseflow dan aliran permukaan muncul pada musim penghujan. Metode prediksi yang handal untuk menghitung jumlah dan laju limpasan yang berasal dari permukaan tanah dan bergerak menuju sungai di suatu DAS yang tidak dilengkapi alat ukur adalah suatu pekerjaan sulit dan memerlukan waktu yang banyak. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menunjukkan bahwa metode Curve Number dapat mepresentasikan hubungan curah hujan – limpasan di DAS Manikin. Data yang digunakan ialah data curah hujan diambil dari pos stasiun hujan Baun dan Oeletsala tahun 1977-2018. Untuk data debit observasi diambil dari pos duga air yang terletak di desa Tarus. Analisis curah hujan digunakan metode Distribusi Normal, Log Normal, Log Person Tipe III, Gumbel dan Generalized Extreme Value (GEV). Analisis Curve Number dilakukan dengan mengunakan peta penggunaan lahan, peta jenis tanah, dan topografi Manikin perangkat lunak Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG). Hasil penelitian yang diperoleh adalah nilai curve number berada pada masing-masing sub DAS berada pada kisaran 74,76 - 77,24. Nilai CN komposit pada DAS Manikin diperoleh pada angka 75,76 yang artinya limpasan yang terjadi saat curah hujan turun baik karena daerah DAS Manikin bisa menjadi waduk tampungan air dengan kondisi litologi batuan yang didominasi lempung bersisik. Untuk debit banjir rancangan HSS SCS CN dengan menggunakan nilai CN didapat Q2 = 89,80 m3/detik hingga Q1000 = 545,00 m3/detik.

Polimaan weir that utilizes water of the Polimaan River, is used to irrigate rice fields covering an area of 297.96 Ha. As a result of decrease in the discharge of Polimaan River, there was water shortage within the service area of Polimaan weir. In one planting season, half the total service area did not get sufficient water supply. so there is urgency to evaluate water availability of Polimaan river to keep up the performance of the irrigated padi-field. This study aimed at assessing the water availability of the Polimaan River at the point of the weir and calculating the water balance in order to optimally meet irrigation water needs. Analysis of water availability and demand were carried out using secondary data and direct observation at the study site. Water availability was evaluated using the NRECA model. The closest calibration result was with the accuracy level calculated using the Nash-Sutcliffe Coefficient (E) of 0.731. Water requirements were examined by simulating the cropping system ie.: varying the cropping pattern and changing the rotation coefficient of tertiary plots. After 18 variations of cropping pattern only 3 patterns did not show that the patterns experienced water shortages. They included: 2 cropping patterns which used a water distribution system for 3 groups and 1 other pattern which implemented it for 2 groups. The three cropping patterns were carried out only 1 planting season for each group with different scheduling and rotation was carried out for each tertiary plot. Consequently, only half the irrigated land can be utilized in each planting season.
Aplikasi Metode Nash Pada Perhitungan Limpasan Langsung Menggunakan Data Hujan GPM 3IMERGHH Studi Kasus SubDAS Winongo Hulu

Published: November 2022

Data hujan terukur dari sisi jumlah dan interval waktu pendek masih belum tersedia secara merata di seluruh wilayah Indonesia. Data hujan merupakan data utama yang dapat ditransformasi menjadi data debit aliran sebagai pengganti data debit terukur untuk analisis hidrologi, sehingga keterbatasan data hujan terukur merupakan hambatan yang cukup besar. Perkembangan teknologi saat ini memberikan opsi lain sebagai pengganti data hujan terukur untuk dapat dimanfaatkan dalam analisis hidrologi. Salah satu teknologi modern yang dirasa dapat mengganti ketidak-tersediaan data hujan terukur adalah data hujan satelit. Data hujan satelit telah mencakup secara merata di seluruh wilayah Indonesia dengan interval waktu pendek. Salah satu data hujan satelit yang dapat dimanfaatkan dan ditransformasi menjadi debit aliran adalah data hujan satelit GPM 3IMERGHH. Penelitian dilakukan di sub DAS Winongo hulu pada tanggal 19 s/d 21 Februari 2017 dengan menerapkan Metode Nash pada data hujan satelit GPM 3IMERGHH yang ditinjau berdasarkan grid spasialnya untuk mengetahui perbandingan hidrograf limpasan langsung dari data hujan satelit GPM 3IMERGHH di sub DAS Winongo hulu dan data terukur dari sub DAS lain dengan karakteristik serupa. Perbandingan debit limpasan langsung sub DAS Winongo hulu dan sub DAS Code hulu menunjukkan hasil yang cukup sejajar, dengan demikian metode satuan Nash dianggap dapat digunakan untuk menganalisis hidrograf.

Effect of Environmental Factors on the Degradation of Organic Dyes by Electro-Fenton Using Carbon Felt Cathode
Authors: Nguyen Trung Dung , Le Thuy Duong , Nguyen Thi Hoa , Nguyen Nhat Huy
Published: November 2022

In this study, an electro-Fenton (EF) process using carbon felt (CF) as the cathode and titanium/ platinum (Ti/Pt) as the anode was tested for removing rhodamine B (RhB) and other organic dyes in water. Characterization of the CF material was conducted by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The influence of various environmental factors (i.e. solution pH, current density, catalyst dosage, RhB concentration, and type of dyes and electrolytes) on the dye removal was investigated. The results show that the maximum removal efficiency of RhB was 98% within 15 min at the optimal conditions of 50 mgRhB/L, 0.05 M Na2SO4, pH 3, 0.1 mM Fe2+, and 6.67 mA/cm2. The decomposition of RhB follows a pseudofirst-order model with the decomposition rate constant of 0.256 min–1. Radical quenching experiments show that superoxide plays a key role in RhB degradation. Finally, results show that CF has high stability and degradation efficiency, which is suitable as a cathode for the removal of organic dyes in wastewater.
Prograding Shoreline, Emerging Gravel Bars, and Mangrove Recolonization in 40 Years on a Mixed Siliciclastic-Carbonate Coast in Southwestern Luzon, Philippines

Changes in shoreline positions provide a historical record for identifying causal mechanisms and adaptive responses of coastlines to a wide spectrum of sea-level change that arises either from natural or anthropogenic disturbances. This paper presents a case study of coastal change during a period of the steady rise in sea level that is coupled with frequent storm events. Observations from multiple sources including field survey, topographic map, and series of satellite images were combined and analyzed to determine shoreline changes along the western coast of Calatagan, Batangas from 1979–2018. The Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) extension tool of ArcGIS was used to estimate magnitudes of shoreline changes, either erosion or accretion. Surface sediment samples were acquired in March and April 2010 to assess the predominant grain size and composition. Historical shoreline positions show that the western coast of Calatagan exhibits discrete erosion, but predominantly coastal accretion trend over a period of nearly 40 years. Both land progradation and the emergence of sand-gravel bars after 1992 occurred in a period of rising sea level across the South China Sea basin, including the West Philippine Sea. Land progradation is attributed to an increase in sediment input to the coast from agricultural activities in unconsolidated volcanic terrain. Notably, overlapping events of storms between 1993–1995 and the 1994 tsunami in the Verde Island Passage (VIP) may have emplaced and reworked a large amount of reef front material onto the reef flat forming emergent bars. Newly accreted lands and emergent bars were subsequently colonized by Avicennia and Sonneratia mangroves. This study highlights that in certain areas, local factors such as increased sediment supply from agricultural activities, storms, and possibly tsunami can modulate shoreline changes in response to modern-day sea-level rise.

Genetics is an important component in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD); however, studies on the Filipino population are lacking. This study aimed to determine the association of polymorphisms with the development of CAD among Filipinos. This is an ageand sex-matched case-control association study involving 122 adult Filipinos with CAD and 230 control participants without CAD. DNA from blood samples were genotyped for candidate single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using Illumina GoldenGate Genotyping (GGGT) assay. Candidate variants and clinical data were correlated with the occurrence of CAD using chi-square and logistic regression analysis. Of the candidate variants analyzed, only rs17465637 in MIA3 (adjusted OR 2.38; p = 0.024) was found to have a nominal association with the development of CAD among Filipinos after adjusting for hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and smoking status. This finding may potentially allow earlier identification of Filipino patients at risk for CAD. Validation of these findings in a larger cohort is recommended.
Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Canine Rabies and the Rabies Control Program in Davao City, Southern Philippines, 2005–2017

Published: November 2022

Rabies is a neglected tropical disease that continues to be a public health threat despite the government’s intention to eliminate it by 2022. Specifically, Davao City has implemented the Intensified Rabies Control Program (IRCP), but animal rabies remains endemic, primarily due to canine transmission. Understanding the dynamics of rabies and its control is critical in formulating strategies to hasten disease eradication. This study utilized hotspot analysis on reported canine rabies cases in Davao City from 2005–2017 to determine the spatiotemporal behavior of the disease pre- and post-IRCP. Around 42% of the barangays have had at least one reported case of canine rabies, most of which were owned dogs (82.0%) and unvaccinated or non-updated vaccination (80.1%). Using the Getis-Ord statistic, five hotspot clusters were detected during pre-IRCP, which was reduced to three new clusters in post-IRCP – all of which were highly populated barangays (> 9,000 residents). The hotspot clusters shifted to neighboring areas with recurrent hotspot barangays located at the junction of this shift, suggesting spillover mediated by the hotspots. The number of rabies cases (mean per barangay of 0.797 pre-IRCP and 0.610 post-IRCP), proportion of affected barangays (33.5% pre-IRCP and 30.2% postIRCP), and rate of improper vaccination (mean per barangay of 31.8% pre-IRCP and 28.8% post-IRCP) did not significantly decrease post-IRCP, suggesting the need to boost the vaccination program and responsible pet ownership. There was no systematic geographical distribution of rabies control programs, hence prioritizing high-risk areas through hotspot analysis provides an efficient alternative to addressing the problem

Authors: Cabrera Emil John , Baticados Glenn , Junsay Michael Viccil , Jalbuena Jalyza Mae , Aviso Aldrex , Batayo Daniel Dave
Published: November 2022

An intellectual property (IP) audit was conducted among 212 research projects funded by the Department of Science and Technology–Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Research and Development (DOST-PCAARRD) and implemented by the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) from 2010–2015. A total of 71 (33%) have the IP component only, while 17 (8%) have both IP and technology commercialization (TC) elements. Of the 17 research projects, 12 (71%) have undergone the technology readiness level (TRL) and are included in the 19 technologies funded by DOST-PCAARRD currently being prioritized by Technology Transfer and Business Development Office (TTBDO) for IP rights (IPRs) protection and TC. Of these technologies, six have ongoing licensing agreements with the private sector, and another three are groomed for a spin-off. All nine have undergone fairness opinion board (FOB) examination, while the remaining 10 are in various stages of IP protection and commercialization. A notable surge in patent application occurred in the first three quarters of 2017 when 14 applications representing 33% of the total patent applications in the last 16 years were filed in the IP Office of the Philippines. As of 2012, with financial support from local and foreign funding, UPLB has produced more than 200 technologies ranging from agriculture and biotechnology to machinery and postharvest technology plus other allied fields. Included in the list are Sinta papaya, BIO-N, Mykovam, virgin coconut oil, and Trichoderma. Some of which have reached the international market earning substantial income for the university and its inventors and breeders principally through royalties ranging from 3–10 % of the licensee’s gross sales. Additional seven technologies funded by other government funding agencies ripe for commercialization are open to manufacturers, distributors, and research service agreements.
Amphibians and Reptiles of Mount Busa, Sarangani Province: a Glimpse of the Herpetological Community of Southern Mindanao, Philippines
Authors: Pitogo Kier Mitchel , Saavedra Aljohn Jay , Afuang Leticia
Published: November 2022

The herpetological knowledge of southern Mindanao is one of the largest gaps in Philippine herpetology. To augment this, we generated a comprehensive list of amphibians and reptiles found along the southern slope of Mount Busa in Sarangani Province, Philippines between June 2018 and August 2020 using opportunistic sampling in various microhabitats across different forest types. We recorded at least 68 species of herpetofauna, of which 28 species were amphibians and 40 species were reptiles. Around 65% of the species recorded are endemic to the Philippines. Mount Busa appears to harbor a relatively rich herpetological diversity that is needing conservation and scientific attention. Our study provides a glimpse of the herpetological diversity of southern Mindanao, but we emphasized that more field-based research is needed in nearby areas to improve our understanding of the herpetological community in the region, thereby overcoming Linnean and Wallacean shortfalls in our knowledge of Philippine amphibians and reptiles.

Published: November 2022

The anatomical properties – namely, fiber length, fiber diameter, lumen diameter, cell wall thickness, vessel length, and width – of young (3-, 5-, and 7-yr-old) Falcataria molucanna (Miq.) Barneby & J. W. Grimes from Caraga Region, Philippines were evaluated to determine the variations among ages between and among trees, tree height, and their derived values as well, henceforth as a basis in recommending the potential of the species for various enduses. Three trees per age of known seed origin were collected and used as materials. FPRDI standard procedures for determining anatomical properties were followed. Data were analyzed using three-factorial in complete randomized design (CRD) and Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD) test was used to determine significant differences among treatment means. Except for cell wall thickness, the variations in anatomical properties among age and tree were highly significant but not significant among height levels. Fiber diameter and lumen diameter increased as the trees aged. The cell wall was very thin with mean values of 0.0033 mm (3-yr-old), 0.0032 mm (5-yr-old), and 0.0031 mm (7-yr-old). Vessel length and width decreased from 3- to 5-yr-old and increased at 7-yr-old. Fiber length’s mean values increased from near pith (NP), middle (M), to near bark (NB) at all three ages and height levels except in the 3-yr middle (1.1665, 1.2032, and 1.1541 mm) and 7-yr butt (1.1541, 1.2326, and 1.2009 mm). Other anatomical properties at three ages showed no consistent trend of variations from NP to NB. The potential uses of younger falcata based on their anatomical properties were for pulp and paper, veneer, and light construction applications where strength and durability are not important.

The antimicrobial activity of the ethanol extract of propolis (EEP) from the stingless bee, Tetragonula biroi Friese, was screened for activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Bacillus cereus,Candida krusei, Staphylococcus aureus, and Penicillium chrysogenum using the disk diffusion method and agar-well assay. The highest inhibitory activities of EEP was observed at 30% (w/v) against Bacillus cereus (12.78 ± 1.92 mm), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (10.22 ± 0.83 mm), Penicillium chrysogenum (13.33 ± 2.40 mm), and Candida krusei (6.00 ± 0.00 mm) compared to the other concentrations – 10% (v/v) and 20% (v/v) of EEP. The antimicrobial activity of 30% w/v EEP against P. chrysogenum and C. krusei was comparable to mycostatin at 13.67 ± 0.58 and 6.33 ± 0.58 mm, respectively. The EEP was found to have no effect on Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Considered as a natural product, propolis has the potential to be a substitute for synthetic antimicrobial compounds commonly used in commercial products such as soaps.

Authors: Fachin Luiz , Simões Francisco
Published: November 2022

A jurisprudência do Tribunal Superior Eleitoral, e da Justiça Eleitoral como um todo, entendia o término do mandato eletivo do agente que exerceu conduta abusiva durante a campanha eleitoral como termo para a possibilidade de julgamento de tais atos e da imposição da sanção de inelegibilidade prevista no art. 22, inciso XIV, da Lei Complementar n° 64/90. No julgamento do Recurso Ordinário n° 5376-10.2014.6.13.0000, houve viragem jurisprudencial para afastar o mencionado óbice temporal, com fundamentação constitucional voltada para o direito material. O presente artigo busca oferecer uma perspectiva do direito processual, notadamente na eficácia declaratória da sentença de procedência nas demandas fundadas em atos de abuso de poder, e assim prover mais fundamentos para amparar a viragem jurisprudencial.

Authors: M. R. Banega Horacio
Published: November 2022

El artículo presenta los desarrollos de Jorge Portilla en la indagacipon sobre la fenomenología del relajo. Esa explicación se problematiza con el fin de ver sus posibilidades y alcances a partir de tres teorías filosóficas sobre el humor: la teoría de la superioridad, la teoría del alivio y la teoría de la incongruencia. Finalmente, se expone cómo el abordaje de la comicidad es central para ver el despliegue intencional y corporal de los sujetos en sitaciones del mundo de la vida a partir de descripciones fenomenológicas.
El sentido de lo político
Authors: Giral Ospina Bayron Hernán
Published: November 2022

En este estudio se dan tres pasos. En el primero se muestra cómo la fenomenología en América Latina, con énfasis en Colombia, ha tenido que volver la atención a la política como cosa misma. En el segundo, se tematiza la fenomenología política que tiene el propósito de explicitar los sentidos de lo político al acudir al método fenomenológico, tanto en la descripción de las estructuras del mundo de la vida política como al poner la atención sobre los modos, o sentidos de lo político, en los que se desenvuelve el poder. En el tercero, se aborda la pregunta sobre la constitución del mundo de la vida política y se relaciona pasividad-actividad entorno a la formación de la conciencia política. Fundamentalmente, se sostiene la tesis de que la política es una estructura del mundo de la vida, aunque su desenvolvimiento no se circunscribe estrictamente a una región, sino que acompaña las manifestaciones del pensamiento y la acción humana entre los unos y los otros, en el devenir del poder.

Hysteria, asthma, and skin illnesses with inflammation are all treated by Passiflora foetida, a wild species of the Passifloraceae family. The purpose of this work is to determine the phytochemical contents, antioxidant capabilities, and FTIR analysis of Passiflora foetida crude methanol extract. Standard laboratory methods were used to conduct the phytochemical analysis. The antioxidant activity of the methanol extract was measured using an UltraViolet-Visible Spectrophotometer at 517nm against 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryhydroxyl (DPPH). In addition, an FTIR characterization study was performed. The sample, according to the phytochemical screening analysis, contains tannin, saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, and phenols. At 300µg/mL concentration, the highest antioxidant activity was recorded (73.36 percent), whereas, at 1000µg/mL concentration, the lowest activity (60.31 percent) was obtained. FTIR spectrum bands of 2852–2922 cm-1 -CH- group, 1507 – 1715 cm-1 band of C-C aromatic group, 1173 – 1362cm-1 band of C-O aromatic and ester groups are notable in the spectrum. The results of this study revealed that Passiflora foetida may be a promising plant to be exploited in drug discovery.
Integrating e-learning in teacher education
Authors: Agalo Joyce
Published: November 2022

In considering the integration of electronic learning (e-learning) in teacher education, there is also a need to consider the kinds of skills and competencies the teacher needs for using such technical media in pedagogical activities in a teaching classroom. Such competencies will enable the teacher to guide the learners in encoding and decoding messages. It is also important that the teachers acquire various forms of knowledge and background assumptions about the relevance of the use of technology in pedagogical practice. This paper covers the e-learning issues of both the teacher and the learner. It gives a brief history of distance learning to include e-learning and teacher competencies in the utilization of related technology used in e-learning delivery modes. It also discusses how important e-learning is in the current society where technological know-how is advancing.

Authors: Achieng Rose , Anyuor Nicholas , Agalo Joyce
Published: November 2022

Education, like all the other sectors, was impacted significantly by the COVID-19 pandemic.  In a report by UNESCO, in 2020 alone, learning for more than 1.7 billion children in over 188 countries was disrupted. This forced education institutions to seek for alternative means and strategies to salvage the situation. Crash programmes on course design and on how to move blended teaching were initiated. This research was therefore conducted to establish the adoption and effect of blended education in universities in Kenya. The study was hinged on the Technology Acceptance theory. Mixed method design which involved use of both quantitative and qualitative approaches of data collection was adopted. In quantitative, the study used a survey research design where 500 questionnaires were administered to students in three public universities and two private ones in Kenya. For qualitative data, interview schedules were served to 20 key informants who were university administrators, lecturers, education officers and parents. Selections of the sample sizes for the study were purposively done. The quantitative data collected was analyzed using SPSS while qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis. Findings revealed that higher learning institutions have adopted blended education albeit with a lot of challenges to students, lecturers and other key stakeholders. It recommended that Higher Education Institutions and governments should promote blended learning even after the COVID-19 pandemic as a way of leveraging on technological advancements. The information may also be used to enhance formulation of relevant policies or supplement the existing ones on matters education and technology.

Authors: Dyikuk Justine John
Published: November 2022

Despite various criticisms about Information and Communications Technologies (ICT), one cannot dismiss in a hurry that life is much easier today thanks to ICT. Indeed, advances in technology have improved gathering and sharing of information, ways of doing business and medical care. What is more, religious perspectives are also changing courtesy of new technologies. To this end, this qualitative study titled “ICT, Catechesis and Marriage and the Family in the Church in Nigeria: A Qualitative Study” employed the grounded theory to ascertain the role of ICT in aiding all-round catechesis within marriage and the family in the country. As regards objective/purpose, the study sought to investigate the place of ICT in entrenching Catechesis in Marriage and the family in the Church in Nigeria. It found lack of embracing e-catechesis and edutainment as well as initiating a multidimensional approach to catechesis as reasons for the impasse. It recommended initiating e-catechesis, infotainment and a multidimensional approach to catechesis as ways out. The study concluded that marriage and the family would be spiritually enriched if the Church’s hierarchy in Nigeria direct the way in employing ICT for teaching all-round catechesis.
Researchers’ Cyber First-Aid
Authors: Olebara Comfort Chinaza
Published: November 2022

The role of research in national development cannot be over-emphasized. Research is the act of proffering solution(s) for present and future problems through knowledge contribution, seeking, and organization. The ability for one to find old or new knowledge or generate new ones, as well as follow a set of knowledge organization rules towards answering the research question(s) makes him/her, a researcher. The process and set of activities followed by the researcher have in recent times, involve knowledge exchange, collaboration, and blending, mostly through digital media, with the cloud as the main storage and linked via several, wired, wireless, hardware, and software interfaces. The described system is prone to cyber-attack and must be protected, as most research is funded by interested bodies and their outcomes are highly evident in national development. This work christened “Cyber First-Aid” is geared toward creating situational awareness of the need for researchers to protect their finished or ongoing intellectual property from hackers. The methods proposed are not best practices in the cyber security domain but easily applicable checks and solutions with Graphical User Interface applications that any researcher with minimal computer knowledge can implement in order to increase cyber hygiene and minimize intellectual property loss. Applying cyber hygiene best practices, monitoring, analysis, and scanning of data packets with protocol analyzers, packet capturers, hash key generator, and Virus Total malware search engine, scanning e-mail, downloaded files, URLs, and executable files before opening or installing, clearing browsing cache, and blocking URLs discovered to have malicious content, are tools (procedures) that make up cyber first-aid. The result of implementing these tools proved effective in the detection, prevention, and removal of attack vectors and protection of researchers’ intellectual property.

The work will also examine some symbols that represent political corruption and foreign leadership in Nigeria since the coming of the British. This work will adopt post-colonial and sociological theories in the analysis of the text. Finally, the arrival of the British in Nigeria brought civilization, but it also brought corruption and ethnic differences, which led to war. War kills people and things, so it should be avoided at all costs.
A systemic functional analysis of mood system in Olu Obafemi’s “Dark Times Are Over?”
Authors: Aliyu Yusuf Musa
Published: November 2022

Systemic theory was chiefly put forward by the British scholar M.A.K. Halliday in the 20th century. The theory looks at language as property owned by the society to serve some functions identified by the proponents of the construct. Precisely, Halliday holds that language performs three functions, namely, ‘the representational function’, ‘the interactional function’ and the ‘textual function.’ Analogous to these metafunctions, as he calls them, are three network systems: transitivity, mood and theme. The aim of this paper is to examine the mood network system in Obafemi’s Dark Times Are Over? To achieve this objective, 40 clauses were randomly selected from the play. The study employed systemic theory that largely comes from Michael Halliday and espoused by Eggins for data analysis. The study finds out that declarative moods are more present in the text.
