Published: February 2024

During the period of one hundred years photogrammetry has had and still has a very important role in the documentation of cultural heritage. Selecting proper technologies enabled the protection, preservation and valorisation of architectural, archaeological and other forms of cultural heritage. Many recent technological breakthroughs have improved photogrammetry, as a tool for capturing, allowing a representation of much more complicated objects. In this way the faithful representation of the real world as a fast flow of information from the experts to the user has been secured. This paper explains the importance of preserving and documenting the cultural and historical heritage. Interesting examples of documenting the cultural and historical heritage of the world and Bosnia and Herzegovina are given, using close-range photogrammetry and laser scanning.
Learned Ignorance? On Enlightened Blindness to the Divine and the Demonic
Authors: Tyson Paul
Published: February 2024

The Kantian “limits of knowledge” powerfully regulates the Enlightenment-framed contemporary academy as secular, methodologically atheistic, and functionally materialist when it comes to public knowledge. This shapes all science and religion discourse considered palatable to an Enlightenment sensibility. This limit makes public knowledge blind to the divine and the demonic in everyday life (and in extremis). The paper argues that this blindness illustrates the abstract and artificial conception of reality that governs academic knowledge. If “religion” adapts itself to these limits in order to dialogue successfully with “science” in an Enlightenment framed academy, it also becomes abstract and artificial. Using Nicholas of Cusa and Johann Hamann, the paper attempts to reclaim “learned ignorance” as a viable alternative to the Kantian “limits of knowledge.” Returning to the “science and religion” domain, the paper concludes by noting that conflict in the basic framing of reality and knowledge is now inherent if theology is to uphold a learned ignorance perspective on reality and natural philosophy. I argue that this sort of conflict should not be feared and is necessary to save modern science from floundering in its own metaphysical vacuum or being swept aside by a post-truth totally poetic constructivism.

Directors’ Compensation and Earnings Management Practices: Evidence from the Nigerian Banking Sector
Authors: Salawu Muinat , Adeyemi Semiu , Obigbemi Imoleayo
Published: February 2024

Compensation contracts is one of the tools recommended by theorists and scholars towards ensuring that directors perform their function of effective monitoring of an organisation. However, this may induce earnings management (EM) practices as a result of being tied to accounting earnings or stock prices. The study thus evaluated the effect of directors’ compensation on EM practices within the Nigerian banking sector anchored on the Agency Theory. Adjusted population of eleven listed commercial banks was used as the census sampling method was employed. Directors’ compensation was measured using a mix of executive directors and non-executive directors (NEDs) compensation while EM practices was proxy by discretionary provision for loan loss (DPLLs) measured using the Beaver and Engel (1996) model. Using the ordinary least square (OLS) regression, all forms of directors’ compensation except executive compensation were found to have positive effect on EM practices. However, only NEDs fees and allowances was found to have a significant effect on EM practices necessitating the regulation of directors’ compensation. The study concluded that directors’ compensation does affect EM practices of listed banks in Nigeria though to varying extent depending on the kind of compensation. The study recommended a shift of focus from just Chairman compensation to include the totality of NEDs compensation and an institution of guidelines for mandatory disclosure of directors’ compensation. The study thus provides practical contribution for regulatory authorities towards ensuring that the accounting process is rid of EM practices as well as investors by consolidating confidence in the Nigerian banking sector.

Authors:   Department of Education Kampala International University Uganda, Jacinta Ezagba Emmanuel
Published: February 2024

Educating a nation is crucial for the development of society in the developing world. This study used a crosssectional survey design, employing both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitative data were collected and processed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 22.0). The data were coded, entered into a computer, and summarized using frequency tables to identify errors and make necessary edits. The study included a total of 208 participants, with the findings presented as percentages. The study revealed that the number of female teachers was lower compared to male teachers, with females accounting for 45% and males for 55%. This disparity was attributed to the fact that many schools in villages had fewer female teachers, who often had spouses or lived separately in towns, resulting in limited teaching availability. Additionally, 43.4% of respondents had been in the same school for 4-7 years, while 26.6% had been in the same school for at least 10 years, suggesting a potential repetition of experiences year after year. Furthermore, 16.6% of teachers were separated and 20% were single, which could potentially interfere with their duties and impact student performance. Among the respondents, 8.4% were widowed and 5% had divorced, indicating that they had to handle everything on their own, potentially leading to less focus on their assigned duties in the classroom and resulting in poor student performance. Additionally, 50% of respondents were married, although some were not located in the same workplace as their spouses, making it challenging to concentrate on school assignments. The study emphasized the importance of equipping head teachers with leadership knowledge and skills in order to exert influence on their schools and academic work. Keywords: Formal Music Education, Nigeria, Tertiary-Level Music Programs, Primary School Music Education, Curriculum Challenges, Cultural Foundation and Sustainable Development.

Kurumsal İbadet Mekanı Olarak Tapınaklar ve Kiliseler
Authors: AĞAOĞLU Mert
Published: February 2024

İnsanoğlunun her daim içerisinde olan inanma olgusu kurumları ve mimarîyi etkilemiştir. İlk başlarda ibadet mekanı olarak, mağaralar, kayalıklar, açık hava tapınakları karşımıza çıkarken yerleşik hayata geçilmesiyle birlikte insanoğlu toprağa bağlanmış ve uygarlık tarihindeki ilk anıtsal yapılar olan tapınakları inşa etmeye başlamıştır. Uygarlık tarihi boyunca hem tapınaklar hem de kiliseler ibadet mekanı olmanın yanı sıra eğitim-öğretim faaliyetlerini yürüten, artı ürünleri depolayan, toprağın dolayısıyla en önemli zenginliğin kaynağı olan kurumlar olmuştur. Hem tapınak hem de kilise örgütlü, teşkilatlı hiyerarşik bir yapılanması olan kurumlardır. Salt ibadet mekanı değillerdir, kurumsallaşmış yapılardır. Bu sebepten, ibadet mekanı olmaları dışında camiler ile bir benzerlikleri yoktur. Çünkü hem tapınakta hem de kiliselerde görev yapan, bu kurumları yöneten ruhban sınıfının İslam dininde karşılığı yoktur. İslamiyet’in diğer dinlerden en ayırt edici özelliği kutsal, ayrıcalıklı görülen ruhban sınıfının mevcut olmayışıdır. Bu sebepten, uygarlık tarihinde “Kurumsal İbadet Mekanı” denildiğinde, birbirinden oldukça etkilenen adeta birbirinin devamı olan tapınaklar ve kiliseler akla gelmelidir. Bu çalışmada; Mezopotamya uygarlıklarından başlayarak Roma ve Bizans’a değin Doğu’da ve Batı’da tapınakların ve kiliselerin idarî-mimarî olarak gelişimi gözler önüne serilmeye çalışılmış, her iki yapının da uygarlık tarihinde toplumsal sınıfların oluşumu ve üretim-tüketim ilişkilerindeki rolüne değinilmiştir.

Authors: Ciontu Valentin-Marius , Grădilă Marga , Jalobă Daniel , Palade Andrei Chiriloaie , Gîdea Mihai
Published: February 2024

Because of its drought resistance, chickpea cultivation tends to become increasingly widespread in the current climate change context. The chickpea crop is easily taken over by weeds in the early growing season, as it has a slow growth rate and the plant does not have an imposing stature. This paper focuses on the importance and the main purpose of weeds control in chickpea crop in order to achieve a high increasing yield. The objectives during two years aimed at assessing the degree of selectivity and the efficacy of some simple, complex or associated herbicides, applied pre-emergently and post-emergently. The sample in chickpea crop consisted of pre-emergence application of aclonifen 600 g/l at a rate of 4 l/ha, s-metolachlor 960 g/l at a rate of 1.5 l/ha, isoxaflutole 240 g/l + cyprosulfamide 240 g/l at a rate of 0.25 l/ha, s-metalochlor 312.5 g/l + terbuthylazine 187. 5 g/l at a rate of 4.5 l/ha and in post-emergence application of isoxaflutole 240 g/l + cyprosulfamide 240 g/l at a rate of 0.18 l/ha, pyridate 450 g/kg at a rate of 1.2 kg/ha, quizalofop-p-tefuryl 40 g/l at a rate of 1 l/ha, 40 g/l, imazamox 40 g/l at a rate of 0.8 l/ha. Chickpea crop was infested by a large number of weeds, as well perennial dicotyledonous species hard to control like: Convolvulus arvensis, Cirsium arvense, Sonchus arvensis etc. The best weeds control was obtained when preemergently applied herbicides were followed by those postemergently applied. Perennial dicotyledonous species weren`t sufficiently controlled in any variant. Phytotoxicity symptoms were recorded at herbicide imazamox, 40 g/l, applied in post-emergence, which delayed the harvest and provided low yields.

Published: February 2024

Field experiment was conducted from March to July 2022 to identify the eco-friendly management of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) by using different soil amendments. The experiment was designed as a randomized complete block design with three replications and seven treatments viz., mustard oil cake at 1.41 kg/2m2 plot, poultry manure at 5.6 kg/2m2 plot, goat manure at 3.25 kg/2m2 plot, vermicompost at 4.30 kg/2m2 plot, nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (NPK) at 125:110:110 g/2m2, Cartap hydrochloride 4% granule (GR) at 10 g/2m2 plot and control. Disease parameters such as root gall index and number of galls per plant, fresh shoot weight, and fresh root weight were recorded at 72, 105, and 120 days after sowing. Fruit yield was recorded after the final pod harvest. Cartap hydrochloride 4G, poultry manure, and mustard oil cake significantly reduced the root gall index as compared to the control. However, goat manure, vermicompost nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) did not give satisfactory results in reducing root gall index. The maximum yield of okra was recorded in the NPK treated plots although the root gall index was not much reduced. The research results indicated that the most effective treatment for reducing root-knot nematode disease and improving vegetative growth and yield of okra was poultry manure. Therefore, poultry manure along with mustard oil cake could be used as an alternative to highly hazardous and persistent chemical nematicides for the management of root-knot nematodes in okra.

Authors:   European  Global University, Oyebanji-Umaigba Adejoke , Opuala-Charles Silva ,   Garden City Premier Business School, Port Harcourt-Nigeria
Published: February 2024

This Article examines the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), focusing on its inception, goals, challenges, and specific implications for Nigeria. Africa, with abundant natural resources and cultural diversity, faces hindrances like poor infrastructure and governance, limiting intra-African trade. Established in 2018, AfCFTA aims to create a competitive single African market by eliminating tariffs and barriers. AfCFTA objectives span tariff elimination, customs harmonization, dispute resolution, and cooperation on technical barriers. Challenges include infrastructure gaps, non-tariff barriers, economic diversity, competition adjustments, informal trade, political instability, capacity constraints, and financing issues. Mitigating these requires strategies like infrastructure development, trade facilitation, capacity building, and harmonizing standards. Nigeria, as Africa's largest economy, could benefit from AfCFTA by accessing cheaper goods. However, implementation faces delays due to unmet trade requirements. The National Action Committee outlines pillars for effective implementation, emphasizing institutional development, export growth, improved trade facilitation, and infrastructure development. Despite Nigeria's delay, the upcoming Guided Trade Initiative in October 2023 is anticipated to accelerate its participation in AfCFTA, fostering economic growth and trade relations within the continent. Keywords: Global trade, globalization, AfCFTA, Trade Block, Commerce.

Authors: Erdoğan Eralp
Published: February 2024

1501 yılında kurulan Safevi Devleti’nin kuruluş felsefesini anlamak için tarikat sürecine göz atmamız önem arz etmektedir. Şeyh Zahid’in tarikatına gelerek orada yükselen ve şeyhlik makamını ele geçirdikten sonra Safeviyye tarikatını kuran Safiyüddin-i Erdebilî, XIV. yüzyılın başlarında etkili bir figür olarak bulunduğu bölgeyi şekillendirmiştir. Mürit sayısının giderek arttığı tarikat, onun torunları ile, zaman içerisinde hüviyet değiştirerek devletleşme sürecine girmiştir. Safiyüddin’in posta oturduğu 1301 yılından Devlet’in kuruluşu 1501 yılına kadar geçen yaklaşık 200 yıllık bir süreçte rüyaların etkin olarak kullanıldığı görülmektedir. Kaynaklara yansıyan rüyaların mahiyeti zamana ve duruma göre farklılıklar gösterir. İlk dönemler Şeyhlerin tarikattaki yerlerini sağlamlaştırmak ve meşru zemine oturtmak amacı güttüğü anlaşılan rüyalar, daha sonra siyasi bir güç kurma amacına hizmet etmektedir. Safiyüddin’in vefatının ardından yazıya geçen kaynaklarda bu tarz rüyalar Safiyüddin’in doğumundan öncesine kadar gitmektedir. Meşruiyetin kaynağı daha doğmadan annesine müjdelenmiş, onun doğumundan sonra görülen rüyalar ile de bu süreç sağlam temellere oturtulmaya çalışılmıştır. Safiyüddin’in ardından posta oturanlar da genellikle rüyaları kullanarak mürit toplamaya çalışmışlardır. Bu politika zaman içerisinde başarıya ulaşmış ve çoğalan mürit sayısı ile birlikte askeri bir güç oluşturma eğilimi baş göstermiştir. Şeyh Cüneyt dönemi itibariyle başlayan askeri ve siyasi faaliyetler yine rüyalar kullanılarak desteklenmeye devam etmiştir. Şeyh Haydar zamanında artık rüyanın mahiyeti şeyhlik postuna yönelik değil siyasi bir oluşuma delalet etmektedir. Şeyh Haydar’ın görmüş olduğu rüya ile Safevi müritleri Kızılbaş adını kullanacak ve Safeviyye tarikatını devlete dönüştürme motivasyonu kazanacaktır.

Guiones y Rutinas: Acciones Del Profesorado Desde La Pedagogía Científica

Scientific pedagogy gathers strength in the frame of the proposals made by María Montessori during the first half of the XX century. The edge it has can be found in the idea of intertwining discourses and medical, biological and anthropological practices in the education field, to strengthen the learning processes in the individuals and to achieve advances in their physical, psychological and behavioral development. Under this perspective, the teacher gets assigned the role of accompanying and guidance of the process of the students and for it, a series of scripts and routines are established, which will become instructions that the educator must accomplish to reach the objectives proposed in the learning framework. This vision regarding the role of the teacher can be contrasted with more recent proposals, which expand the horizon of meaning around the teaching profession and the implications it has in the process of forming individuals. Accordingly, some hypotheses are explored about the studies of the knowledge of the pedagogue where it is stated that scripts and routines, more than being an instructional aspect, is an unspoken way of knowledge that the educators maintain during the teaching process, which is built in a specific context and is represented in the series of structured actions than unconsciously are used by the teacher.

Economic growth and increasing population density have an influence on the large need for electrical energy in Indonesia. The amount of energy needed is directly proportional to economic growth and population density. This condition could threaten energy security in Indonesia if all stakeholders still depend on non-renewable energy. Coal, oil, and natural gas, which are continuously exploited for generating electricity, will eventually run out and will no longer be able to meet Indonesia's electrical energy needs. Apart from that, the use of non-renewable energy also has a negative impact on the environment. Indonesia is a country that is rich in renewable energy sources that can be used as a source of energy for generating electricity, but there are still obstacles in processing and using them, so they are not optimal. This paper aims to analyze the potential and challenges of providing electrical energy in Indonesia. The method used is a descriptive method using primary and secondary data and literature studies. The results of this study show that the potential for renewable energy that can be processed and developed for electricity generation is quite large, namely from energy sources originating from geothermal, hydropower, mini-hydro and micro-hydro, bioenergy, solar power, wind energy, and ocean waves. The survey results show that 52% of the public agree with the use of renewable energy, and 43% agree with the use of nuclear energy as a source of renewable electrical energy. The reason for choosing nuclear energy is the reliability of the energy supply. A strategy for developing renewable electrical energy can be formulated based on the opportunities and challenges currently faced to achieve energy security in Indonesia. Efforts to develop renewable electrical energy need to be carried out with the cooperation of all relevant stakeholders so that the sustainability of electrical energy in Indonesia can be realized.
