Authors: Horbatiuk Roman , Volkova Natalііa , Kabak Vitalii
Published: October 2023

The article presents a study on the issues of personal and professional self-development in future higher education seekers. Based on theoretical analysis and systematic organization of scientific sources, the essential characteristics of the concepts of "personal and professional self-development" and "self-education" have been determined, and their interpretations by domestic and foreign researchers have been analyzed. The key role of personal and professional self-development of education seekers in the context of constant changes, digital technology transformation, and rapid adaptation of future professionals to professional activities has been highlighted. Various types of educational activities that contribute to purposeful formation of personal and professional self-development of education seekers have been identified: application of training methods (group discussions, role-playing games, case method, etc.); performance of professional-oriented tasks of varying complexity; completion of non-standard professional-oriented cases and assignments; organization of extracurricular work for education seekers, involving an individual approach to students. It has been established that practical activities aimed at self-regulation of behavior and self-improvement of professional and personal qualities are among the key conditions for the self-development of future professionals. A summary interpretation of the definition of "self-education" as a gnosiological tool for personal and professional self-development, which ensures the accumulation of cognitive resources, enhancement of knowledge, skills, and abilities, and formation of professional competence of professionals at all stages of professional development, has been provided. Promising methods of self-education that enable gnosiological activities aimed at acquiring knowledge about the profession, independent development of professional skills and abilities have been outlined. Through a survey of education seekers in pedagogical specialties, a study of the process of self-development of the future professional'spersonality has been conducted

Based on a survey by the Association of Indonesian Internet Service Providers (APJII) in 2017, 143.26 million Indonesians used the internet. This condition is exacerbated by the “online learning” during the pandemic which forces children to be exposed to gadgets more than they should, which is more than 2 hours a day. Even though gadgets can affect children's behavior. It is proven that 66 out of 100 children have a high level of gadget addiction. The negative impact of gadgets on children is caused by the one-way communication between children and gadgets. This means that the instructions only come from the gadget while the child absorbs them without any significant response. Based on these problems, we makes a two-way interactive game that can be an alternative game for children. Game Numberpedia is played with a projector, then children can play interactively by touching the image. The Numberpedia game was then donated and played at Sepuluh Nopember Surabaya kindergarten as part of community service activities. The response from the children after playing the Numberpedia game shows that this game has clear and interesting audio visuals, and arouses the enthusiasm of children to play it.
Empowering Women; basic right for being an Individual.
Authors: S. Faiza Batool  , Ujala Sajid  , Hira Qaisar
Published: October 2023

Background: Concept Women empowerment emerge from the middle of 20th century and now recognize globally. Empower the women from discrimination, inequality and injustice are the basic aspects of this approach. Gender equality, economic empowerment, social empowerment, political empowerment and education are all the integral of women empowerment which provide the safe space where they have rights for education, equal opportunities in social, economic and political status.    

Methodology: To investigate the gaps between the knowledge of empowering women and to found the real struggle of women on daily basis we applied both the quantitative and qualitative data collection procedure, which include the questionnaire with close-ended question and the interviews with selected women from different region.

Results: Women with different background have different approaches and their empowerment vary according to it even though culture and social bounding’s hinder the pathway of empowerment. But it has been noted that the education and training sessions are helpful in bringing change in one’s narrative and behavior. Empowering the women; it’s not only the concept of girls education right, it also about their social, political and economic stability. 

Conclusion: Being human beings, women should also be treated as equals. With the growing world and interest of people in women's empowerment, it became the central aspect of each country's policies. We apply a mix-method research approach to address women's empowerment and the gaps in its knowledge, which include a questionnaire and interviews of the selected women. Hence our study suggests that training programs in different areas increase awareness and empowerment of women; however, societal and cultural barriers are the prominent hindrance associated with women's empowerment.
Droits de l’homme et justice climatique en Afrique
Authors: Owona Daniel
Published: October 2023

RÉSUMÉ :

La justice climatique, dans son acception judiciaire, se développe progressivement dans le monde en touchant à plusieurs problématiques dont celle des droits de l’homme. Fort de ce constat, la présente contribution analyse la place accordée aux droits de l’homme dans les contentieux climatiques recensés en Afrique. En se fondant sur une approche sociojuridique et une analyse praxéologique des décisions de justice sélectionnées sur le continent, l’article constate le caractère subsidiaire des droits de l’homme dans lesdits contentieux. D’une part, des droits de l’homme spécifiques y sont invoqués comme moyens par les plaideurs et comme outils d’analyse par les juges. Il s’agit du triptyque droit à la vie, droit à la dignité humaine et droit à un environnement propre et sain, sans poison ni pollution et du droit à un environnement sain. D’autre part, le contentieux africain des droits de l’homme en matière climatique est relativement représenté sur le continent du fait de son caractère embryonnaire au niveau national et inexistant au niveau régional. Enfin, malgré l’inexistence du contentieux régional, le système africain des droits de l’homme et le régime communautaire de la Communauté économique des Etats de l’Afrique de l’Ouest (CEDEAO) offrent des possibilités de développement au regard des interprétations juridictionnelles de droits de l’homme menacés par les changements climatiques. La recherche caractérise les droits humains dans la justice climatique en Afrique tout en proposant des pistes de multiplication.

 

TITLE AND ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH:

Human rights and the climate justice in Africa

ABSTRACT:

Climate change, in its judicial understanding, is increasingly developing worldwide by touching on various issues including human rights. Against that background, this article undertakes an analysis on the place afforded to human rights in the adjudication of climate related issues in Africa. Using a socio-legal approach and praxiological analysis of judicial decisions selected across the continent, the article establishes the subsidiary nature of human rights in such adjudication. On the one hand, specific human rights are invoked therein as submissions by the litigants and as tools of reasoning by judges, especially the trio of the right to life, the right to dignity and the right to a clean, healthy and safe environment, without poison or pollution. On the other hand, climate related human rights litigation in Africa is relatively represented in the continent due to its burgeoning nature at the national level and non-existent at the regional level. Finally, despite the necessity of regional litigation, the African human rights system and the regime operated by ECOWAS offer opportunities to consider human rights when climate justice issues are being adjudicated. This article therefore locates human rights in climate justice in Africa while proposing ways of developing related litigation.
The repatriation of African heritage: shutting the door on the imperialist narrative
Authors: Batt Fiona
Published: October 2023

This article is written in recognition of the repatriation movement, which is going through a renaissance in relation to the cultural heritage of African peoples. The collecting of African cultural heritage without free, prior and informed consent was a feature of colonialism. This article highlights the vulnerability of past and present African heritage in the light of the ‘imperialist narrative’. The imperialistic narrative accompanied the act of colonialism in Africa and enabled the taking of African heritage to public and private collections in Europe and America where many remain. Much of the heritage was displayed as an African ‘curiosity box’ which helped to support the now discredited idea of a hierarchy of peoples. This articleargues that until there is a steady stream of African heritage returning home to Africa the narrative will continue to impact in situ African heritage including natural resources. Until museums repatriate African heritage unreservedly, the ‘imperialist narrative’ will exclude the corollary narrative of African Renaissance. The article examines potential restitution/repatriation mechanisms for African peoples and states for the return of their cultural heritage, drawing on the UNESCO conventions, the African Union Charter for African Cultural Renaissance, the Sarr and Savoy Report, ‘Restitution of African Cultural Heritage. Toward a New Relational Ethics’, the Report of the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous PeoplesRepatriation of ceremonial objects, human remains, and intangible resources under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples’ and the ECOWAS 2019/2023 Action Plan on the return of cultural properties to their countries of origin.
Framing a human rights approach to communication surveillance laws through the African human rights system in Nigeria, South Africa and Uganda
Authors: Ilor Tomiwa
Published: October 2023

Today, in any society where crime is possible, communication surveillance is a necessary evil. This is because technologies now offer faster means of preventing crime while they are also capable of undermining the right to privacy. However, protecting privacy should not be mutually exclusive of ensuring public safety. This article argues that while communication surveillance may be permissible under narrow and limited circumstances, the laws made to regulate it in Nigeria, South Africa andUganda do not comply with international human rights standards. In demonstrating this, this article analyses the major laws in these countries alongside the various international human rights principles that must be complied with in framing a rights-respecting law on communication surveillance. The major contribution of this article is that communicationsurveillance laws can be designed in compliance with international human rights standards in the countries under focus. These include Nigeria, South Africa and Uganda carrying out specific legal reforms targeted at problematic laws on communication surveillance in order to bring them in line with international human rights standards. This can also be supportedby developing a more robust set of comprehensive guidelines through the African Commission and Human and Peoples’ Rights and ensuring that Nigeria, South Africa and Uganda embark on critical and strategic training for stakeholders involved in the enforcement and implementation of communication surveillance laws in these countries.
La notion d’intérêt dans la procédure contentieuse devant la Cour africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples
Authors: Kpla Koffi Arnaud
Published: October 2023

En matière contentieuse, quelques dispositions expresses du Protocole à la Charte africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples portant création d’une Cour africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples, ainsi que du Règlement intérieur de la Cour, permettent de définir les conditions d’ordre procédural préalables à la saisine de la Cour. Ces dispositions prévoient également les critères essentiels aux fins d’une intervention dans le cadre d’une affaire en cours. Dans la mise en œuvre de ce droit de saisine et d’intervention, entre en scène la notion d’intérêt. Avec pour objectif de renforcer la position des rédacteurs des textes suscités, parallèlement de pallier les imperfections des observations de certains États, cette contribution met en exergue l’intérêt juridique et le présente comme une notion inopportune au moment de la saisine. En cours d’instance par contre, la participation des acteurs impliqués requiert un intérêt juridique davantage prononcé chez une catégorie d’acteurs, tandis que chez une autre catégorie, l’intérêt peut entraver la bonne marche de la procédure. Même si la jurisprudence de la Cour s’évertue à le faire, l’état actuel de la doctrine ne met pas suffisamment en évidence cette particularité du système de la Cour africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples
Primer registro de Siphonia cf. tulipa (Desmospongia) de La Formación El Abra /El Doctor, Hidalgo, México, con anotaciones paleoambientales.
Authors: Esquivel Macías Carlos , León-Olvera Rita Gabriela , Sánchez Cruz Eduardo Misael
Published: October 2023

Se registra un ejemplar fósil de esponja marina tipo ascon perteneciente a silicospongia, desmospongia, del género Siphonia. Se indica el intervalo de edad albiana–cenomaniana con base en foraminíferos orbitolínidos (Orbitolina) y foraminíferos miliólidos (Quinqueloculina) de la Formación El Abra-El Doctor en el estado mexicano de Hidalgo, edad que es consistente dado que Siphonia se reporta en Europa para el intervalo Santoniano a Cenomaniano. El ejemplar es conferible a la especie (S. cf. tulipa), reserva debida a la gran variabilidad morfológica individual que exhiben las esponjas; no obstante, tiene perfil nítido, cuerpo entero, semiesférico, pequeño, pedúnculo angosto y se aprecia el borde del vestíbulo en el ápice. El ejemplar muestra evidencias de rápido sepultamiento con un desgarramiento y colapso compresivo del costado esférico, además considerando que vivían en ambientes de baja energía, lo que les volvía vulnerables a cambios bruscos de régimen hidráulico. En contraste con los reportes de Siphonia europeos, este es el primero de esta familia y género en México, y el primer ejemplar de este taxón del Albiano-Cenomaniáno del banco Ixmiquilpan/Formación El Abra-El Doctor. Con ello se aporta también el primer reporte de Siphonia proveniente del Tethis occidental/paleo provincia Caribeña y de México. Además se anotan rasgos del paleoambiente sedimentario fundamentados en petrología sedimentaria y análisis de microfacies que indican que la esponja habitó el estrato ecológico epibentónico inferior, con hábito de vida filtrador (gremio filtradores epibentónicos inferiores) de un arrecife orgánico en facies 5 de Wilson; eco-espacio que sólo dejan disponible marginalmente los rudistas dominantes del banco calcáreo. No obstante, el ejemplar, después del evidente arrastre hidráulico, se fosilizó en la facies 4 en arenas de plataforma nerítica, bajo un modelo estándar, en condición para-autóctona junto a restos de rudistas y gasterópodos. La interpretación de dichos rasgos asociados a la esponja contribuyen al conocimiento de este arrecife cretácico mexicano tan mencionado en diversos trabajos pero que hasta ahora privilegian ampliamente el enfoque litoestratigráfico y la geología regional.

Objective: To determine the incidence of newly acquired morbidity, its categorization, and to identify the associated risk factors among children upon being discharged from the PICU. Study Design: Prospective Longitudinal Cohort study. Setting: Multidisciplinary PICU of Aga Khan University Hospital. Period: October 2022 to March 2023. Material & Methods: Patients who were readmitted to the PICU, deceased, or lost to follow-up during the study were excluded. The functional status was assessed using FSS at baseline, PICU discharge, and at 3 months to measure newly acquired morbidity and dysfunction. All data was collected on a structured proforma. Categorical variables were presented as absolute values and percentages, and continuous variables were expressed as means ± SD or medians with interquartile range or proportions as applicable and considered statistically significant level if p value is ≤ 0.05. Results: A total 96 patients were discharged alive from PICU and 85 of them were included in this study. The mean age was 5.27 ± 5.01 years. The major diagnostic categories were acute respiratory illnesses (25.89%), cardiovascular disorders (21.18%), and neurological disorders (16.47%). 43.53% of the patients underwent surgical intervention. The mean PRISM score at admission was 4.32 ± 5.84. The incidence of morbidity was 40% (34/85) at PICU discharge and 5.8% at 3 months. Longer duration of vasoactive medications, arterial catheterization, mechanical ventilation and PICU stay were associated with new morbidity in critically ill children on discharge from PICU. Conclusion: At PICU discharge, the incidence of new morbidity among critically ill pediatric patients was 40%, which reduced to 5.8% at 3 months. Patients with hemodynamic instability, longer duration of inotropic support and those on prolonged mechanical ventilation had longer PICU stay and exhibited increased risk for new morbidity development. The majority of patients (>82%) exhibited either good functional status or mild dysfunction upon discharge.

Cost of irrigation water increased with the step un in or-power of electric motor pumpsets responding to the depth of wells. The difference in cost between different horse-power groups was attributed to the increased consumption of electricity. annual repairs and replacement charges. The variation in fixed cost was due to higher Investments on well. electric motors and their accessories deponding on the depth of wolls. The average cost per irrigation under gurdenland was Rs. 67.31 for wells up to a depth of 30.67 metros and Rs. 147.00 for wells above that depth. The average cost per hectare of cholam was Rs. 414.19 while that of sugarcane was Rs. 2290.30 in first depth group of Wells. In the second depth group, the same was Rs. 1016.21 and 3894.21 respectively. The high cost of irrigation in deep wells of Coimbatore taluk suggests rationalizing water use by optimum crop mix to maximise farm income. This could be achieved by extension efforts towards individual farm planning.

The effect of different forms and lovels of liming materials on soil reaction was studied. Calcium carbonate, calcium hydroxide and calcium oxidu were added to rep rosentative black, red, alluvial and laterite soils at two levels namely 3 tons and 6 tons/ha. Moisture level was maintained at field capacity. Soil samples were drawn at different periods of incubation and pH was estimated. The increase in pH due to appli- cation of liming material was higher in laterite soil and low in black soil. Calcium oxide was found to cause the maximum shift in pH followed by calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate. Application of six tons of liming material resulted in greater increase in pH than three tons/ha. The values for pH registered an increase in initial stage and than there was a drop in pH values, followed by steady increase thereafter.

A green house study with three soil groups of Tamil Nadu using IR. 22 rice as test crop under three moisture regimes, viz.. submergence at 5 cm. depth, near field capacity and wetting and drying was conducted. The available Fa and available Mn released from the soils under different stages are discussed. Alluvial soils released more of available Fe followed by red and black soils while available Mn remained almost uniform for all the soils studied. Restricted moisture has no influence on the available Fe and Mn and the yield of rice under such conditions was found to be more than that of submergence.

Genotypic coefficients of variation. heritability estimates and expected genetic advance were estimated for ten characters in eleven varieties of horsegram. All the characters except pod length and seeds per pod, showed higher heritability estimates. Number of pods per plant, number of nodules per plant, number of branches, plant height and yield per plant showed higher genetic gain values associated with higher heritability estimates. Therefore for effecting improvement through selection, number of pods per plant, number of nodules per plant, plant height and yield per plent should be considered.

Field experiments were conducted during Monsoon 1976 and 1977 seasons to study the levels of incidence of pests and diseases on sesame (Sesamum indicum), the relationship of levels of incidence with yield loss due to pests and diseases. The avoidable loss in yield of sesame during monsoon 1976 and summer 1977 was 110 kg and 111 kg per hectare respectively which worked out to be 40 per cent of avoi- dable loss in sesame yield. The multiple regression analysis of yield on diseases liko phyllody, Alternaria blight. powdery mildew and charcoal rot and incidence of shoot webber attack revealed that the partial regression co-efficients of sesame yield on phyl- lody and charcoal rot diseases wore significant. One per cent increase in the incidence of charcoal rot disease brought down the sesame yield by 1.8 kg whereas that of phyllody disease reduced the sesame yield by 8.36 kg.

The wages to the agricultural labourers were generally paid in cash and kind. Only kind payment was made for harvesting of grain crops. Wages were paid on contract basis for piece work, and 34.94 per cent of total farm expenses was accounted for by the total wages including imputed value of family labour. Paid wages per unit of gross cropped area increased as the farm size increased.

Fensulfothion (Dasanit) (0.0-diethyl-0-4 methyl sulphinyl phenyl monothiophos phate) when applied at 2 ppm (lower level) and 5 ppm (recommended level) concen- trations to sterilised soil inoculated with the Rhizobium sp. (Cowpea group) recorded an increase in the rhizobial numbers for 30 days during incubation and disulfoton (Disyston) (0.0-diethyl-S-2 (ethyl thio) phosphoro dithioate) showed an increase during the first 20 days. Both these chemicals. however, at 10 ppm (higher level) significan- tly depressed the population of Rhizobium in sterilised soil throughout the incubation period. In normal soil. Dasanit applications, at all the three levels, registered an in- crease in population upto 10 days and a significant reduction thereafter upto 60 days. Disyston also reduced the population of the organism at all the concentrations, the effect being more severe with the higher level. When Fensulfothion and disulfoton were added to th the growth medium in vitro and inoculated with the Rhizobium sp. 21.4% and 74.5% respectively, of the chemicals were degraded within 7 days.

The results of gamma irradiation of five varieties of green gram at 25 R have indicated that variation in mutagenic sensitivity exists among different varieties and doses in My generation. The variety PS. 7 was found to be more sensitive than the others. Significant differences were noticed between doses also. Genotypic differences were noticed in the expression of chlorophyll mutations in the Ma generation. The variety PS-7 which was highly radio-sensitive in My generation yielded the highest frequency of chlorophyllmutations in the Me than the other varieties studied.

Six exotic and six indigenous strains of barley were used to produce four partial diallel and two diallel sets. Original and transformed data were analysed following Griffing's method (1956) for diallel sats and Kempthorne and Curnow's approach (1961) for partial diallel sets. The results were interpreted by rank correlations. In general, significant effect of transformation was recorded. Rank correlations between original and transformed data for mean squares due to gea, sca. error and sca/gca ratio indicated considerable effect of transformation in each analysis. When the statis- tical parameters were translated into genetical components, the effect of transformation. became more evident.

Experiment conducted at R.B.S. College Agricultural Research Farm Bichpuri. Agra to find out the response of Bacterial Fertilization to gram with N and P levels has shown that: (1) Gram responds favourably to inoculation and N and P Fertilization. Inoculation increased the grain and straw yield by 12.4 and 9.5 per cent. (2) inocula- tion at 80 or 120 kg P2O5/ha alone or with 15 kg N/ha as starter dose was statistically equally effective to nitrogen fertilization at 15 or 30 kg with 80 or 120 g P205 in respect of yield and N and P content of plants and (3) Inoculation alongwin 80 g PO proved to be the most economic combination which could increase 33 par cont grain yield over control, 18.6 per cent over inoculation alone and 11.8 per cent over inoculation with 40 ko P2O5.

The effect of two plant populations and six fertility levels on the nodulation. nitrogen content and its uptake by three varieties of green gram (Phaseolus aureus Roxb.) and nitrogen balance in soil was studied. The number of nodules increased till 30 days after sowing and thereafter their number declined. Thirty and 60 ke P0/ha signifi- cantly increased the number of nodules over control. Application of 20 tg N/ha reduced the nodule formation that was not affected by 10 kg N/ha. Variety 'Cott.70 had some what poor nodulation as compared to 'H-70-16 (Varsha). The total uptake of nitro- gen and its fixation was more with high plant population than the lower one. Appli- cation of nitrogen and phosphate increased the uptake of nitrogen by the crop and the fixation of nitrogen in soil over control. The nitrogen content in root, shoot. its totol uptake and protein content was the highest in Pusa Baisakhi but the highest nitrogen fixation (62.44 kg/ha) in soil was obtained with H-70-16 and lowest with 'Cott. 70 (13.56 kg/ha).

Clay fractions were separated from representative black, red, alluvial and laterite soils. Various cationic clays were prepared and ion exchange experiments were condu- cted by equilibrating the clay salts with chloride solutions of the cations. After the attainment of equilibrium. the cations remaining in solution ware estimated. The por centage of cation exchanged increased as the concentration of the replacing cation in- creased upto 2 to 3 symmetry and then there was a definite decrease. This trend, however, varied with soil type. clay salts and electrolytes used. NaCl as the replacing cation showed very poor exchange, whereas maximum exchange was observed with CaCl2.
