NIGERIAN CURRENCY SYSTEM, 1914-2014: A CENTURY OF TRANSFORMATION
Authors: Abubakar Yasin , Arabu Mujitaba Liman
Published: March 2023

In 1914, the Protectorate of Northern Nigeria and the Colony and Protectorate of southern Nigeria were merged by Sir Fredrick Lugard. The new territory became known as the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria. Lugard became its first Governor General and ruled between 1914 and 1919. Before then, Southern Nigeria which was a British Protectorate in the coastal areas of modern-day Nigeria formed in 1900, was added to Lagos Colony in 1906, and the territory was officially renamed the Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria. From that time till date, the country has been experiencing transformations in its currency system. This paper sets to offer a historical overview of the transformation of Nigeria’s currency system over a period of one hundred years, from 1914 to 2014. The paper demonstrates how the Nigerian currency system has evolved in the course of hundred years from a cash-based type to an increasingly cashless type. It was concluded that, although it is replete with challenges, the ongoing cashless policy in the country has come to stay. The paper is based on qualitative method of data collection and evaluation. Both primary and secondary sources of historical data have been consulted and utilised on the course of writing the paper.

Landschaftsqualität in Regionalen Naturpärken. Ergebnisse der Landschaftsbeobachtung Schweiz LABES
Authors: Torregroza Lina , Wartmann Flurina , Kienast Felix , Hunziker Marcel
Published: March 2023

Die Regionalen Naturpärke von nationaler Bedeutung wurden mit Hilfe des Monitoring-Instrumentes Landschaftsbeobachtung Schweiz (LABES) auf ihre Landschaftsqualitäten hin untersucht. Erhoben wurden dabei sowohl physische Landschaftsindikatoren als auch die Beurteilung der Landschaftsqualität durch die Bevölkerung. Dabei wurden die LABES-Indikatoren für die einzelnen Pärke, für alle Pärke zusammen, diejenigen von Referenzgemeinden sowie für alle Schweizer Gemeinden ausserhalb der Pärke verglichen; dies über die zwei Zeitperioden von LABES1 und 2 (2011 und 2020). Die Parkgemeinden erreichen im Vergleich mit der Gesamtschweiz signifikant höhere Landschaftsqualitätswerte. Offensichtlich liegen die Pärke da, wo hohe Natur- und Landschaftswerte vorhanden sind und wahrgenommen werden. Die wahrgenommene Landschaftsqualität des gesamten Perimeters aller Pärke hat sich im Vergleich zur Gesamtschweiz im Untersuchungszeitraum weitgehend verbessert. Die physischen Qualitäten der Landschaft blieben über die Zeit überwiegend konstant mit Ausnahme der Lichtemissionen, die in den Parkgemeinden in den letzten Jahren signifikant zugenommen haben. Im Vergleich zu den Referenzgemeinden ist in den Parkgemeinden keine systematische Veränderung der Landschaftsqualität zu erkennen. Zwischen den einzelnen Pärken wurden zwar Unterschiede festgestellt, die jedoch mit nicht-parkspezifischen Faktoren zusammenhängen können. Es wird daher empfohlen, parkspezifische Indikatoren zu entwickeln, die der Pärkepolitik besser entsprechen, um künftig vor allem den zeitlichen Verlauf zwischen den einzelnen Pärken vergleichen zu können.
La historia de la construcción del navío África
Authors: Ivonne M. Manrique Torres
Published: March 2023

El presente artículo se estructuró a partir de una búsqueda documental realizada en el Archivo General de Marina Álvaro Bazán, en el que se encontraron referencias sobre la construcción de los navíos de guerra que Juan de Acosta fabricó para la corona española, en el arsenal de La Habana, en los años treinta del siglo XVIII. Esta información abrió un interrogante sobre el cumplimiento de los reglamentos de construcción naval ordenados por el rey. Para responderlo se comparó la Ordenanza de 1721, escrita un año atrás por Antonio Gaztañeta, con las proporciones constructivas utilizadas por Juan de Acosta. Finalmente, sobre la base de las diferencias que resultaron de este contraste, se formuló una hipótesis acerca del propósito de las modificaciones ejecutadas por Acosta, que interpretamos como un progreso respecto del modelo de Gaztañeta.
Dominantnost muških vrijednosti i izbjegavanje neizvjesnosti kao instrumenti razvoja kulturne inteligencije studenata
Authors: Vlajčić Davor , Liović Ana
Published: March 2023

This paper shows how students' perception on the dominance of masculinity values and uncertainty avoidance characteristics relates with the level of students' cultural intelligence. In order to examine the phenomena, the research was conducted on a sample of 146 exchange programme students (ERASMUS exchange programme). The results indicate a positive and significant correlation between the variables uncertainty avoidance and determinants of cultural intelligence. Furthermore, the obtained results indicate a negative correlation between students' perception on dominance of masculinity values and metacognitive and motivational cultural intelligence, while relationships with cognitive and behavioural cultural intelligence were statistically non-significant. The results of this study can help teachers, researchers, and economic and social policy makers to build educational models that will help students develop an awareness of cultural disparities. As a result, individuals will be able to focus their efforts on developing and shaping the individual mental dimensions necessary for successful adaptation to the international environment.

Tasavvuf literatüründe sûfîlerin hikmetli sözlerine ve faziletli davranışlarına yer veren, ermiş veya velî olarak kabul edilen tarikat büyüklerinin kerametlerinin anlatılması amacıyla yazılan menâkıbnâmeler ve velâyetnâmeler yazıldıkları dönemin ideolojisini, inanç ve geleneklerini; toplumun siyasi, sosyal ve dinî-tasavvufî yapısını; çağın tarihî olay ve şahsiyetlerini ihtiva etmesi sebebiyle kültür ve edebiyat dünyasının önemli kaynakları arasında yer almaktadır. Alevî-Bektaşî geleneğine ait velâyetnâmeler ve menâkıbnâmelerde de erenlerin kerametlerine yer verilmesi bu eserlerin sembolik motifler bakımından oldukça zengin olmasına sebep olmuştur. Bu çalışmada, Anadolu tasavvuf literatürünün önemli metinleri arasında yer alan ve Alevî-Bektaşî geleneğinin önemli eserlerinden olan velâyetnâmeler ve menâkıbnâmelerde bulunan motifler renk sembolizmi bağlamında incelenmiştir. Başta Hacı Bektaş Velî Velâyetnâmesi olmak üzere bu kültürü yansıtan Koyun Baba, Demir Baba, Seyyid Ali Sultan gibi velâyetnâmeler ve Abdal Musa, Hacım Sultan gibi menâkıbnâmelerde dağınık halde bulunan ve farklı anlamlarda kullanılan renk motifleri konunun detaylı olarak incelenmesi ve karşılaştırma yapılması gerekliliğini ortaya koymuştur. Bu renkler, hem Alevî-Bektaşî kültürünü anlamada hem de bu kültürün oluşumunda Türk-İslam birlikteliğinin tahlili noktasında önemli bir alan oluşturmaktadır. Yapılan araştırmada Türkçe, Osmanlıca, Arapça ve İngilizce eserlerden yararlanılarak konuyla ilgili materyaller bulunmuş ve sembolik unsurlar arasında bağlantı kurularak elde edilen bilgiler konu başlıklarına uygun gelecek şekilde sıralanmıştır. Velâyetnâmeler ve Menâkıbnâmelerle ilgili pek çok çalışma yapılmıştır. Fakat bu eserlerdeki renk sembolleri ve bu sembollerin anlamsal arka planı ile ilgili doğrudan bir çalışma yapılmamıştır. Bu sebeple çalışmada velâyetnâmeler ve menâkıbnâmelerde geçen her bir motif incelenerek bu motiflerin renk sembolizmi hakkında eski Türk inancı ve İslam ekseninde karşılaştırmalı bilgiler verilerek değerlendirilmeler yapılmaya çalışılmıştır.
ANALYSIS OF THE CARBON DIOXIDE ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY TECHNOLOGY
Authors: Gomes Antonio Chicuna Suami , Vorobyev Kirill , Shcherba Vladimir , Chekushina Tatiana , Ali Alawiyeh Mohamad
Published: March 2023

The paper reposts on a comprehensive study of Carbon Dioxide Enhanced Oil Recovery (CO2-EOR), a detailed literature and projects review. In one hand, according to past studies, when injected CO2 and residual oil are miscible (Miscible Displacement), the physical forces holding the two phases apart (Interfacial Tension, IFT) disappears; as CO2 dissolves in the oil, it swells the oil, reducing its viscosity and density. This allows the oil CO2 to displace the oil from the rock pores, pushing it towards a production well. On the other hand, when injected CO2 and residual oil are not miscible (Immiscible Displacement), this process is used as a secondary recovery method. As many experts look to carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) as one of the best alternatives for dealing with carbon emissions, research studies and laboratory investigations have indicated that, beyond its potential to augment oil production, CO2-EOR is getting intensive scrutiny by the industry, government, and environmental organizations for its potential for permanently storing CO2. A good example is a study by Montana Tech University, which found that CO2 flooding of Montana�s Elm Coulee and Cedar Creek oil fields could result in the recovery of 666 million barrels of incremental oil and the storage of 640 billion cubic meters of CO2, which is equivalent to 7 years of supplier�s CO2 emissions (a coal-fired power plant). Some other projects in the U.S., Canada and Norway have been evaluated. An economic and ecological analysis of the CO2-EOR process have been provided.
EARLY REMEDIATION OF WASTEWATERS FROM ROMANIAN FOOD INDUSTRY: A CASE STUDY OF IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF DAIRY INDUSTRY WASTEWATER
Authors: Radu Florina , Popescu Sofia , Cozma Antoanela , Rinovetz Alexandru , Radoi Bogdan
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the role played by different wastewater treatment technologies in the dairy industry in the context of the challenges of sustainable development: water scarcity and conservation of water resources, the constant growth of the population and the costs of wastewater treatment in centralized systems, increasing constraints and stricter environmental protection regulations. In this sense, the efficiency of wastewater treatment plants belonging to a number of 8 factories was determined. The studied factories were divided into three groups according to the type of wastewater treatment technology, namely: the first group uses only the pretreatment stage; the second uses the mechanical-chemical and biological treatment stages with biogas production; the third group has an aerobic biological treatment coupled with a reverse osmosis module. Water samples were taken weekly from the influent and effluent of each wastewater treatment plant for 6 months (March-August 2022). A number of 8 quality parameters were analyzed for both waste water and treated water, in accordance with the national regulations. The results highlighted the fact that the values of chemical oxygen consumption (COD), five-days biochemical oxygen consumption (BOD5), total suspended solids (TSS), phosphorus (PTotal), respectively total nitrogen (NTotal), and ammonium nitrogen for all wastewater samples far exceeded the limits of admissibility provided by the national wastewater quality standards. Instead, the pH values and the chloride content were within acceptable limits. The apply of mechanical and biological wastewater treatments determined the decrease of COD, BOD5 and TSS concentrations by more than 95%, respectively by more than 85% in the case of PTotal. The efficiency of the reverse osmosis module was over 95% in the case of ammonium nitrogen elimination. As a result of the onsite implementation of these technologies for the treatment of wastewater from the dairy industry, the values of the quality indicators of the effluents were in accordance with the regulations regarding the discharge of treated water into natural receivers or into the urban sewage network without affecting the environment.
INTERCALIBRATION PROCEDURE OF THE FRAMEWORK DIRECTIVE ON WATER - COMPARISON OF RESULTS FOR MACROZOOBENTHOS ON THE EXAMPLE OF RESERVOIR LAKES OF THE DRAVA RIVER IN MEDUMURJE, CROATIA
Authors: Kis-Novak Darinka
Published: March 2023

The Water Area Management Plan 2016-2021 assessed reservoirs as natural water bodies. This assessment included their ecological condition. The goal of the intercalibration procedure is to achieve consistency, comparability of results and evaluation of the ecological state based on the biological element of macrozoobenthos quality. The paper presents the results of research on the Cakovec HPP and Dubrava HPP reservoirs on the Drava River from 1999 and 2003. Complex studies of individual biological elements of macrozoobenthos included seasonal monitoring. They are part of the overall state of the cenosis and water quality with the aim of determining trophic characteristics and water quality by monitoring the quantitative and qualitative composition of the population of macrozoobenthos.The research obtained the values of the abundance of individual taxa of bottom macrofauna by reservoir stations, the total number of individuals, the number of indicator individuals, the saprobic index (SI), the number of taxa and the number of indicator taxa. The author compared the obtained results with the old and new Regulations on water quality standards in the prescribed indices and limit values of the macrozoobenthos biological element. The obtained results show the bad ecological condition of the reservoirs (as well as the ecological potential). In 2021, this area officially became part of the Five-State Biosphere Reserve.
STRUCTURAL ANALYSES OF THE COMPOSITE MATERIAL FOR AUTONOMOUS MODULAR SYSTEM USED AS LATERAL MARK IN BRACKISH WATER HABITAT
Authors: Ene Alexandra Gabriela , Jomir Mihaela , Mihai Carmen
Published: March 2023

The safety of navigation and life in the risk areas adjacent to the coastal area, represent the central objective of the paper and meet the provisions of the European directive "in force." In this context, for defining the geometry of the autonomous modular system used as physical system for marking the fairway, mathematical prediction models were developed. The prediction of phenomena and functional characteristics for autonomous modular system was possible by using a specialized software, where the calculation conditions were for sea state maximum 6 Beaufort scale. The configurations were round geometric bodies generated by the rotation of a triangle around the straight line containing the largest side and two rectangular trapezoids joined at the large base and rotated around the side perpendicular to the bases, and the constraints were initiated on the submerged side of each system. The post-processing enabled the visualization of the results: the deformation, the Von Mises stress fields and the distribution of displacement vectors. The state of tension was calculated, resulting in values that fall within the range -5.96e+006 to 5.85e+007 N/m2, below the allowable strength of the material, so the composite material with textile matrix will resist to the distributed force imposed.
Descriptions of the study, main problematic and used methods are discussed.
TOPOGRAPHICAL TECHNIQUES APPLIED IN THE CRISUL ALB BASIN AS THE BASIS OF COMPLEX HYDROLOGICAL STUDIES
Authors: Barliba Luminita Livia , Barliba C. , Horablaga Adina , Samfira I. , Popescu G.
Published: March 2023

The Cri?ul-Alb River springs from the Apuseni mountains, and its course crosses many rural and urban towns. In the Cri?ul Alb hollow, there are several tributaries that have a significant contribution to the volume and water flow of the Cri?ul Alb River. Due to the abundant precipitation combined with the melting of the snow during the spring period, high levels of water flow are created, endangering human settlements and other goods isolated by their flooding.
The aim of the paper was to present a topographic study that would be the basis for the subsequent preparation of a complex hydrological study. This is the basis of a project to repair the breach as a result of the rupture of the body of the dam, following the high levels of flowing water. By optimizing the flow at high flows, the color of the flow is created through measures to reduce the roughness, to highlight the active erosions from the banks, in the minor bed or in the major bed of the Cri?ul Alb River.
The paper also presents the method of carrying out some topographical measurements in the bed of the Cri?ul Alb River, in the area located north of the town of ?ipari, between the CSA terminals with numbers 5 and 43, and the processing of the respective measurements in order to draw up transversal profiles through the bed and a longitudinal profile on the respective portion.
MULTIDIMENSIONAL MODELING OF THE FOREST AREAS AROUND WATER SOURCES IN BULGARIA
Authors: Shuleva Nevena , Aleksandrov Neno , Kolev Konstantin , Tsoklinova Maya
Published: March 2023

In Bulgaria, the number of water sources and facilities for drinking and domestic water supply from surface and underground water is about 7,480. They are surrounded by sanitary protection zones (SPZ). Each SPZ has 3 belts, which are organised according to an accepted methodology. With the help of a designed geographic information system, it was found that in Bulgaria forest territories that belong to SPZ around water sources and water supply facilities for drinking and domestic needs have a total area of 576,117 ha and 49.837 million cubic meters of total growing stock. The importance of sanitary protection zones for water protection, health and life quality of the population is indisputable. Due to this the goal of the present paper is to systemize forests around water sources with protection functions in Bulgaria in homogenous groups. The systematization is done on the basis of K-means cluster analysis, which is applied for coniferous, coppice and high-stem forests for each of the three SPZ in 28 regions from level NUTS-3 in Bulgaria and three variables, which characterize forests, namely � forest area (ha), mean annual increment (m3/ha), total growing stock of forest territories (m3). On this ground it has been established that high-stem, coniferous and coppice forests from the three SPZ can be systemized in 6, 6 and 7 homogenous clusters respectively. The variables, which contribute to a high extent for cluster formation, are as follows: area of high-stem forests from belt 3; area of coniferous forests from belt 2; and area of coppice forests from belt 3.
PSYCHOLOGIST'S PROFESSIONAL SECRECY VERSUS SECRECY IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS
Authors: Burdziak Konrad , Kowalewska-Łukuć Magdalena
Published: March 2023

The aim of this paper is to give an adequate answer to the question of the status of information obtained by a psychologist in the course of his/her profession. This answer is closely related to the examination of whether such information constitutes a secret within the meaning of the Code of Criminal Procedure and whether it is a "professional secret", as referred to in Article 180 1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, or a "medical secret", as referred to in Article 180 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. In order to examine these issues, the authors have used the analysis of normative material relating to the issue under examination, primarily the Act of 6 June 1997 - the Code of Criminal Procedure; and the analysis of the views of the doctrine of criminal law. The considerations contained in this paper, which illuminate the issue of professional secrecy of a psychologist, including also, or perhaps above all, its importance and relevance to practising this profession reliably and responsibly, lead to the conclusion that it is necessary to equate professional secrecy of a psychologist with medical secrecy.
CONVICTION UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF ARTICLE 65 1 AND 2 OF THE PENAL CODE AS A NEGATIVE PREREQUISITE FOR THE USE OF THE ELECTRONIC TAGGING SYSTEM INTERPRETATIVE DOUBTS
Authors: Kuberski Dariusz
Published: March 2023

The article regards the legal prerequisites for excluding the use of the electronic tagging system, in particular the relationship between the provisions of Article 431a 1 (1) of the Penal Enforcement Code and the provisions of Article 65 1 and 2 of the Penal Code. The article draws attention to the increasing use of the electronic tagging system in Poland and the benefits resulting from this fact. The publication contains an analysis of the problem of whether a conviction for a crime from the commission of which the offender has made a regular source of income or committed a crime acting in an organized group or association aimed at committing a crime and for a crime of a terrorist nature - constitute a negative premise for the use of the electronic tagging system. The article draws attention to the practical aspect of the problem raised in connection with the divergent interpretation of the above-mentioned provisions, which leads to a situation in which, in the same factual and legal situations, common courts issue divergent rulings. The author, assessing the relationship between the provisions of the Penal Enforcement Code and the Penal Code, notes that the provisions of the Penal Code are applicable in executive proceedings only in the event that the Penal Enforcement Code contains a direct reference to them. The author finally comes to the conclusion that the conviction of the offender for crimes listed in Article 65 1 and 2 of the Penal Code does not constitute a legal obstacle to the issuance of a ruling allowing the offender to serve his sentence in the electronic tagging system. The position expressed in the work has been supported by views presented in the literature and case law.

Dataspill og dannelse
Authors: Sandberg Magnus
Published: March 2023

En dataspillversjon av Henrik Ibsens Peer Gynt er utviklet for bruk i skolen. I tillegg til å introdusere elevene for Ibsens kjente drama er spillet tenkt brukt som en læringsressurs i arbeidet med det tverrfaglige temaet Folkehelse og livsmestring. I samarbeid med norsklærere ved en videregående skole og inspirert av Engeströms metodologi formative intervensjoner, ble spillet prøvd ut i tre førsteklasser på studiespesialisering, med noe variasjon i undervisningsopplegget og framgangsmåten i hver klasse. Prosjektet genererte data i form av feltnotater, lyd- og videoopptak fra klasserommene og et gruppeintervju med lærerne i etterkant. En tematisk analyse av dette materialet viser at elevenes dialoger mens de spilte i hovedsak dreide seg om å forstå og diskutere handlingen. Refleksjon rundt elevenes egne liv og livsmestring ble ikke tematisert før læreren løftet det fram i plenumssamtalene. Dermed ble det viktig hvordan læreren la opp til dialog rundt spillingen. Samtalene om livsmestring analyserer jeg i lys av Biestas modell for danningsrelasjonen, der læreren hjelper eleven til å respondere på lærestoffet i en prosess preget av ubehag, tillit og ansvar. Funnene i denne studien tyder på at en vellykket etablering av danningsrelasjonen henger sammen med hvordan selve spillingen organiseres og stillas bygges av læreren i klasserommet. Gjennom de tre undervisningsforløpene, kalt fri spilling, støttet spilling og helklassespilling, utviklet undervisningen seg fra lav til høy grad av lærerstyring. Faglig støtte før og lærerintervensjon underveis i spilløktene ser ut til å ha virket forløsende på elevenes refleksjoner både om Peer Gynt som drama og om egne liv.
Noget andet i stedet
Authors: Eggersen Dorte Vang
Published: March 2023

Stedbaseret læsning (SBL) er en undervisningsmetode, som i en firefaset model opstiller en didaktisk ramme for litteraturundervisning uden for klasserummet. Med SBL initieres og stilladseres elevers dobbeltrettede opmærksomhed på en litterær tekst i dens samspil med et nøje udvalgt undervisningssted i skolens nærområde. SBL hviler på teoretiske antagelser fra henholdsvis fænomenologisk stedsfilosofisk litteraturvidenskab og udeskolepædagogik. I artiklen præsenteres et kvalitativt interventionsstudie bestående af 5 afprøvninger af SBL i en udskolingsklasse henover et skoleår med henblik på at undersøge, hvordan elever oplever undervisning med SBL, og hvad der kendetegner elevers dobbeltrettede opmærksomhed på tekst og sted. Datamaterialet består af verbale elevudsagn, som er lydoptaget og indsamlet i undervisning og interviews. Disse er analyseret i en åben kodning baseret på constructing grounded theory efterfulgt af en teoridrevet fortolkning af fundene med afsæt i det fænomenologiske begreb sted, henholdsvis det litteraturdidaktiske begreb dobbeltrettet opmærksomhed.
Den åbne kodning viser, at undervisning med SBL som metode potentielt kan føje en ny tidsdimension til nogle elevers tekst- og stedsopmærksomhed. SBL kan potentielt lede til en genkendelse af og forestillinger om ’hvordan det har været’ at være til stede i såvel tekstens fortællende nu som i stedets historiske fortid. Den teoridrevne fortolkning af disse fund peger på, at SBL for nogle elevers vedkommende kan bidrage til brobygning mellem det lokale og det globale; mellem fortid og nutid; mellem omverden og jeg; og mellem litteraturen, litteraturhistorien og elevernes livsverden.Til slut diskuteres det, hvor vidt SBL vil kunne danne afsæt for en kritisk spørgen til, hvad der former elevers egen fysiske og mentale horisont, som del af litteraturundervisningen. De fundne kvaliteter ved SBL ses som udtryk for metodens verdensvendthed. Det konkluderes på denne baggrund, at SBL evt. kan danne et alternativ til en tilsyneladende udbredt periode- og begrebsorienteret litteraturundervisnings­praksis i grundskolens ældste klasser.
Poverty in Indonesia: An Application of Error Correction Model (ECM) Approach
Authors: Muttaqin Teuku Fazil , Masbar Raja , Jamal Abd.
Published: March 2023

Poverty is one of the biggest concerns of the Indonesian government currently towards achieving social welfare. Indonesia's poverty tends to experience a downward trend but has not yet reached its target. This study analyses the long-term and short-term effects of unemployment, household per capita expenditure and ICT on poverty. This study uses panel data with the ECM approach in 34 provinces in Indonesia from 2015 to 2021. The result indicated that unemployment does not affect poverty in the long and short term. Meanwhile, per capita, household spending, and ICT negatively affect poverty in Indonesia. The government's efforts to overcome unemployment have been reasonable because unemployment does not affect poverty. The government can control household per capita expenditure through socialization or household education to prioritise basic needs first to achieve prosperity. Increasing the reach of ICT development in Eastern Indonesia and areas where ICT facilities are inadequate increases ICT access, use and expertise in reducing poverty.

Leadership style is considered good in certain times may not be appropriate for other times. Every leader is born with a distinctive typology, according to the demands of the times. The results of temporary observations indicate that the political leadership of the regional head of the Riau Islands Province has not been able to move employees to be close to the community and prioritize the public interest towards prosperity through power. Research object 350 respondents Riau Islands Provincial Government Employees. Slovin formula is qualified to be used as samples are 187 respondents. Data analysis was performed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) method. The software used for structural analysis is AMOS * version 24. The results of the study indicate that spiritual motivation, leadership style and compensation have a significant positive effect on employee loyalty. Also, spiritual motivation, leadership style and employee loyalty have a significant positive effect on employee performance. Besides that, compensation does not significant effect on employee performance. This study proves that there is indeed a problem with the determination of the organizational commitment variable on the performance variable, therefore it is necessary to increase the organizational commitment for employees in the BP2RD environment of the Riau Islands Provincial Government.

Contextualized Project “Lamdag”: A Designed School Guidance Program based on the Early Marriage Engagement among IP Learners
Authors: BEJONA MARY ANN D. , MULA MARY GRACE G. , TAWANERO DARWIN M.
Published: March 2023

This action research aimed to address the level of awareness and engagement on early marriage among high school IP learners of Upper Lumabat Integrated School for the school year 2021-2022 and to come up with an intervention to address the existing problem that affects school performance. This study utilized the quantitative-qualitative research design, specifically, the sequential explanatory method. Fifteen

(15) high school IP learners were the participants in the study. Results revealed that learners are moderately aware of the consequences and risks of early marriage, with a weighted mean of 2.94, and moderately engaged, with a 2.47 weighted mean, through the following factors: earnest desire to marry, family pressure, peer pressure, parents’ relationship, culture practice, repaying a debt, being a burden in the family, a means to settle alliances and disputes, dowry and absence of face-to-face learning modality. Hence, it is recommended that teachers and parents should work hand in hand to lessen, if not prevented, the number of cases of early marriage. It was recommended that the “Lamdag” Contextualized School Guidance Program would be conducted as an intervention to educate and enhance the knowledge of learners in terms of the consequences and risks when engaging in early marriage.

Published: March 2023

This study was conducted to develop policy guidelines for pregnant learners of Upper Mainit National High School during COVID-19. The participants of the study were the identified fifteen (15) pregnant learners of the school year 2021 -2022. Since the study falls under a phenomenological type of qualitative research, the method used to gather data was In-depth Interview (5- WHY Analysis), Interview Guide, and Field Notes/Observation Notes. After that, data analysis and interpretation were done through Thematic Analysis. As to the research framework, the study adopted the action research framework suggested by Kemmis and McTaggart (2005) to present the Innovation, Intervention, and Strategy. The results revealed that the biggest factor leading to the early pregnancy of the participants was the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused school closure. The results also showed that neighbors’ impact and peer pressure/influence were among the major factors that led them to early pregnancy. Furthermore, the major challenge encountered among pregnant learners in terms of the COVID-19 pandemic was the absence of face-to-face classes. In this area, learning performance was a learning comprehension-related challenge.
Management Competencies and Strategies of Academic Middle Managers at Cagayan State University: Basis for Training and Development Program
Authors: TEJADA TERENCE ALFRED ROBERTO A.
Published: March 2023

In the organizational structure of higher education institutions, the academic middle managers work between the central administration that provides direction and the faculty and staff. They orchestrate daily activities using competencies and strategies for risk management. The study was conducted to assess the levels of competency and utilization of strategies of academic middle managers to serve as the basis for the formulation of a risk management training and development program for the Academic Year 2023-2026 for CSU middle managers. It made use of the sequential explanatory research design with 78 respondents, using the survey questionnaire and focus group discussion for data collection, percentages, and weighted mean for the analysis of data. Middle managers were found to possess high competency in the exercise of the operational, managerial, and strategic context of risk management covering organizational roles in risk management, project/change management, stakeholder management, data management, and risk on organizational reporting. Middle managers highly utilize risk management strategies in the execution of their duties along with academics, research and extension, long-term strategy, root-cause analysis, and risk management analysis. A risk management training program is designed within the dimensions of operational, managerial, and strategic context and development programs for middle managers to increase their competencies and utilization of risk management strategies.
Un escenario de los ancestros de la especie humana

Published: March 2023

Las analogías entre ciertas teorías paleo antropológicas y aquellas concepciones antiguas, no vienen del hecho que la ciencia ha confirmado los mitos; ella más bien viene a ser víctima en el sentido que no ha logrado tener su ambiciosa promesa de abandonar los esquemas preconcebidos tradicionales, y en ocasiones por no construir el saber sobre la base de los “hechos”. Ella ha realizado en revancha otra de sus ambiciones, lo que ha heredado de la filosofía antigua: evacuar lo sobrenatural de sus teorías. Para los estoicos y epicúreos, la ciencia de la naturaleza está llamada sobre todo a combatir las falsas creencias religiosas; combate que no se ha exigido más. Estudiar los fenómenos y las cosas de lado de un punto suficiente material, para disponer de aquella plausible explicación natural de los fenómenos que serán otra vez tentados y atribuidos a una intervención sobrenatural. La antropología reemplaza ese programa: los dioses han desaparecido, reemplazados por el clima, al cual recién le estamos prestando atención e importancia. Lastimosamente, nos hemos demorado más de dos mil años construyendo toda una imaginería a los dioses y no le hemos dedicado el tiempo necesario a los ancestros de la especie humana representada por el   Hombre, su relación con los demás y con la Naturaleza; ni aun actualmente que estamos viviendo complejos problemas ambientales locales y globales que ponen en riesgo su existencia.
Machine Learning-based Optimum Reinforced Concrete Design for Progressive Collapse
Authors: Esfandiari MohammadJavad , Haghighi Homa , Urgessa Girum
Published: March 2023

This paper investigated progressive collapse analysis of three-dimensional (3D) reinforced concrete (RC) frames that are optimized for carrying structural loads by introducing a unique simultaneous multi-column removal load path using Machine Learning. The investigation includes formulating an integrated computational framework that incorporates a self-training machine learning algorithm. This algorithm is used to train the largest machine learning models of 3D RC frames containing more than 600 optimized structures to predict the posterior based on the trained priors. The efficiency of the computational framework was shown by conducting a comprehensive study on the optimization and behavior of structures considering seismic loading, alternative load path due to progressive collapse, and second order (P–delta) effects. The results show that the proposed framework ensures that system solutions meet both structural integrity and constructability requirements of the ACI and the Unified Facilities Criteria.
Socio-Economic Conspiracy and Ecological Devastation: A Contextual Reading of Tanure Ojaide’s The Activist
Authors: Udoette Monica
Published: March 2023

The persistent crisis in the Niger Delta, bordering on the effects of oil exploration among other socio-economic issues, left the confines of politics and found expression in literary works. Tanure Ojaide, a prolific poet and writer from the Niger Delta, and other eco-critics explore these devastating realities in their creative enterprise. This study, therefore, sets out to examine Ojaide’s conceptualization of the tensions and struggles of the Niger Delta people against forces of exploitation and oppression and the often tragic consequences of the collusion in his novel, The Activist. While adopting an experimental form of analysis – a reportorial- the novel’s message adequately structures its form and makes an explicit comment on the need for educational activism. The paper concludes that the author positions education as a major tool of liberation and a constructive way of subverting both socio-economic and environmental deprivation. This therefore goes to show The Activist as an intellectual work whose agitations offer the dais for a positive change in the Niger Delta.
A Semio-linguistic Analysis of the Emblems of Nigerian military and Para-military Organisations
Authors: Ejodamen Daniel , Teilanyo Diri , Ekundayo Bode Steve
Published: March 2023

In addition to spoken and written language, there are other non-verbal uses of signs and body movements for communication that Semiotic deals with. This paper examines the emblems of some major and minor Nigerian military and para-military organisations to establish their iconicity and semiotic correlations, identify and analyse their syntactic and lexico-semantic categories and relate them to their socio-cultural meanings. The paper adopts the qualitative method of analysis which involves a semiotic interpretation of the selected emblems and a linguistic analysis of the linguistic symbols in them. An identification survey of all the emblems (14), names and mottos (28) of (para-) military organisations in Nigeria was done. Seven (7) emblems and fourteen (14) names and mottos were later purposively sampled for this paper. Military personnel were also interviewed and the outcomes of the interview were augmented with library research: the use of the Internet and secondary sources. The study established that the emblems of Nigerian Para-military organisations are deliberately invested with semiotic and linguistic significances which Nigerians take for granted. The emblems convey the professional identities and essence of the various organisations and some socio-cultural and political legacies of the Nigerian semiosphere.
Simulation and Depthlessness in Postmodern Fiction: The Examples of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Teju Cole
Authors: Adeleke Emmanuel B. , Oba Dowell I.
Published: March 2023

This paper examines simulation and depthlessness in postmodern fiction using Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah and Teju Cole’s Every Day is for the Thief (Every Day henceforth) as illustrative texts. The theory employed in the paper is postmodernism with particular reference to Bennett and Royle’s postulation on simulation and depthlessness. The study finds that in Every Day, the use of the hyperreal competes with the reality of Lagos and creates a fictional form that makes it much more exciting. Simulation with the use of photographs in the novel is also employed to give a feel of the environment after the descriptions have been made. In Americanah, simulation with television performs the role of activating the consciousness of brands, places, people or things in the mind of Ifemelu, the major character. The paper concludes that in both novels there is conformity to the postmodern encouragement of astute observation leading to depthlessness in truth realisation. In this same vein, the truth in postmodern fiction is shaken up from consciousness without abiding to the thought processes of depth models, while simulation enables a joint participation between the reader and the narrator in the discovery process.
