Authors: SETHY KAMDEV , DASS R S , GARG A K
Published: October 2023

An experiment was conducted on 24 male goat kids (6.80Â±0.20 kg ABW) to elucidate the effect of supplemental vitamin E and/or selenium yeast on their growth, serum antioxidant enzymes, selenium and ï¡- tocopherol status. Kids were randomly divided into 4 equal groups and fed a basal diet consisted of concentrate mixture and oat straw to meet their nutrient requirement. Group 1 served as control (without any supplementation), whereas animals in groups 2, 3 and 4 were supplemented either 0.3 mg selenium (Se) as Se-yeast, 100 mg of DL-ï¡-tocopheryl acetateor both. This feeding practice lasted for 180 days, during which fortnightly body weights of kids were recorded. Blood was collected at day 0, 60, 120 and 180 of experimental feeding and analysed for ï¡-tocopherol, Se and activity of antioxidant enzymes i.e. catalase (CAT), super oxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) and malonaldialdehyde (MDA) concentration as a measure of lipid per-oxidation (LPO). Results revealed that the activity of erythrocyte GSH-Px and SOD and MDA concentration as a measure LPO and serum Se weresignificantly higher in all the 3 experimental groups as compared to control. Similarly, the concentration of ï¡- tocopherol in serum was significantly higher in group 2, 3 and 4 as compared to group 1. However, growth rate of the kids and concentration of CAT did not differ among the different treatments. It was concluded that vitamin E and Se-yeast supplementation had no effect on body weight gain, but improved the antioxidant status of the kids in terms of erythrocyte GSH-Px, SOD activity and LPO.

Functional Language: A Panacea for Effective Implementation of the Primary School Social Studies Curriculum
Authors: Aboluwarin Elizabeth Oyenike , Prof. Jimoh A.S. , OYEDAPO Philip Ibukun
Published: October 2023

This paper focuses on what constitutes functional language of instruction with a view to determining the extent at which it influences effective teaching delivery by Social Studies teacher and the attainment of Social Studies curriculum objectives. Two hypotheses were formulated based on research questions on significant relationship between and among identified variables viz- a-viz teachers knowledge of core- concepts, academic qualification, students’ academic performance, attainment of curriculum objectives and the functional language. The study employed quasi- experimental design, 20 Social Studies teachers and 200 students were selected from Junior Secondary Schools in Ojo Local Government area of Lagos state. Close- ended questionnaire constructed for teachers contains 20 statement items on a 4 – point likert rating scale and validated with a reliability co- efficient of 0.58. Achievement test was also constructed for the students and data was analysed using F - Test and pearson product moment correlation (PPMC). The finding reveals that: teachers’ knowledge of core- concepts and academic qualifications has nothing to do with the use of functional language and vice- versa. The implication of this was deeply discussed. It was therefore recommended that, to attain Social Studies curriculum objectives, there is the need by the teachers to have knowledge of liberal arts, language education and the acquisition of appropriate diction, which implies the use of functional language; and there is a symbolic relationship between students’ academic performance and the use of functional language in the teaching and learning of Social Studies.
Optimized Matrix Acidizing Treatment Design to Enhance Well Productivity in Sandstone Reservoirs
Authors: Ukpai Obinna O. , Agwu Okorie
Published: October 2023

The use of matrix acidizing (mud acid) stimulation techniques to boost reservoir production rate is one of the primary goals of petroleum engineering program. A popular stimulation technique involves treating sandstone reservoirs with mud acid (HF and HCL) to reduce formation damage. The optimization procedure, however, receives little focus. In this work, an improved stimulation strategy is presented, and the effect of acid volume on productivity index, formation skin factor, and treated zone radius is assessed. From the results obtained in this study, it was discovered that altering the acid volume led to a noticeably greater increase in productivity index and acid treated zone with a decrease in formation skin factor. A petroleum engineering software PROSPER was utilized to design, optimize, and to assess the well performance both before and after acidizing. The software also utilized literature review data on production history. Additionally, the most effective amount of acid was pumped into the formation to reduce the formation skin factor while still retaining the tensile strength of the reservoir rock. When comparing the optimization findings, acid volumes of 500, 800, and 1000 gallons produced productivity indices of 5.3, 5.39, and 5.42 stb/d/psi, respectively, from a productivity index decline of 2stb/d/psi, which represents a considerable increase. Using mud acid concentrations of 5% HF and 15% HCl, the formation skin factor dropped linearly from the initial positive skin of 5 to -0.85
Oil And Gas Flow Rate Prediction for African Oilfields: An Overview of Existing Models, Data and Uncertainties
Authors: Kawu Yakubu , Agwu Okorie , Okon Anietie
Published: October 2023

An essential task that connects hydrocarbon estimation and operational decision-making especially for oilfields in Africa is the forecast of oil and gas flow rates. The reason for the focus on African oilfields is partly due to the rising concerns of poor metering of oil wells in the continent and partly due to the difficulties oil producers in the region face as a result of the lack of a universal model and scarcity of data. The methods, data sources, and difficulties of estimating oil and gas flow rates in this situation are discussed in this paper. To estimate flow rates based on reservoir features and production factors, numerous prediction models, including empirical, analytical, and numerical techniques, have been developed. To improve prediction accuracy, these models frequently include geological, geophysical, and engineering data. The prediction process, however, is rife with uncertainties brought on by complex geology, heterogeneity in the reservoir, fluid behaviour, and technical restrictions. Improving the accuracy of flow rate projections and the ensuing reservoir management techniques requires addressing these uncertainties. To improve prediction accuracy and decision-making, advanced data analytics, machine learning, and uncertainty quantification methodologies can be integrated. This paper emphasizes the value of high-quality data integration and data collecting to improve model correctness. Additionally, it underlines the significance of including uncertainty in projections and provides guidance on how decision-makers can make informed choices while taking into account probable changes in expected flow rates. Stakeholders in the oil and gas sector may improve production methods, reduce operational risks, and support the sustainable development of energy resources across the African continent by addressing these crucial factors.
Good Offices and Mediation as Mechanisms for International Dispute Settlement
Authors: Baala Gawuga Thompson , Jaja Tamunobelema Victory
Published: October 2023

The international system prior and after Westphalia (1648) has been characterized by conflicting interests, that if not managed timeously could result in full blown crisis fought at the expense of human lives and infrastructure. Some of these crises when resolved at arbitration have not produced lasting peace because of the awarding nature of result that may not accommodate the parties in the process of arriving at final decisions. Thus, Good offices and mediation stand out as diplomatic methods of traditional dispute settlement endorsed in the Charter of the United Nations (1945). The study is saddled with the quest of unraveling the reasons for the irregular adoption and prioritization of good offices and mediation by conflict parties in international relations. The study combined the realist theory of Jurisprudence and the Constructivist theory of international relations to arrive at some findings which border on the similarities and differences between Good offices and mediation and its relevance as mechanisms for international dispute settlement. The study adopts the doctrinal legal research methodology and recommends that Good offices and mediation should be prioritized. It concludes that a good offices provider should know when negotiation is ripe for transition from good offices to mediation in other not to dampen the enthusiasm of the parties to reach final decision themselves.

Authors: Iyke-Ibe Ugochi Margaret , Ogele Eziho Promise
Published: October 2023

The study examined the role of the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) in domestic conflict management in Rivers State, Nigeria, 2010-2022. FIDA, since its inception, has been involved in managing domestic violence against women in various communities. Domestic violence comes in different forms which can be verbal, physical, religious, economic or threats thereof; sexual abuse; emotional abuse; controlling or domineering; intimidation; stalking; passive/covert abuse, and economic deprivation. Definition, awareness, perception and documentation of domestic violence vary widely from place to place and have changed over time. Presently, domestic violence has become so common, but underreported because of cultural support. The study adopted feminist theory as its theoretical construct. The study relied on a triangulation method as a data-gathering technique. The analysis of primary data was produced through a structured questionnaire. The content analysis technique was used in the secondary data. The study unravelled that the culture of patriarchy, male chauvinism and anarchy has undermined the rights of women and the outcome of this is the exploitation and marginalization of women in the affairs of development both in the private and public spheres. Hence, the study recommends amongst others that government should establish and fund counselling centres at the community, and local government levels and employ professional counsellors to help victims of domestic violence.

Published: October 2023

The study examined the effects of international migration and national security in Nigeria, 2011- 2020. Historical background of migration can be traced as far back as the existence of man, most especially when man desired to go in search of food during various famine seasons. Virtually all individuals and nation states have one or two traces of migration history mostly influenced by two factors these are the “Pull” and “Push” factors. Nevertheless, as societies continue to advance, migration is triggered by various factors such as the search for greener pasture, migration emanating from internal insecurity, among others, which adverse impact on national security in Nigeria and Africa at large. National security is essential for internal protection against any potential threat to national security and sovereignty of a nation-state. The study adopted Rational Choice Decision Making Theory as its theoretical construct.The study adopted a triangulation method of data-gathering techniques. The population of the study was a total of 400 questions were randomly distributed among staffers and sexes in International Organization for Migration (IOM), Nigeria Correctional Service (NCS), Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), and Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Nigerian Navy (NN), and General public. The analysis of primary data produced through a questionnaire was tested with descriptive statistical methods. The content analysis was used in the interpretation of secondary data. The study unraveled that the causes of international migration differ from individual to individual and from community to community, which include famine, drought, low agricultural productivity, and unemployment. The study recommends amongst others that the Nigeria government should articulate and develop more sustainable socio-economic cum security policies to prevent labour and refuge migrants.

Published: October 2023

Local government (LG) is an extension of government from the central to the local communities. Significantly, the instrumentality of local government in the sustainability of the socio-political and economic development of a state is considered very essential. Local government is purposefully established to promote development owing to its closeness to the people at the grassroots level, therefore, enhancing its ability to easily articulate and aggregate the socio-political and economic demands of the people. The basic thrust of this paper is to x-ray local government as an effective tool for the socio-political and economic development of the southeast. The paper utilized the secondary method of data collection and adopted descriptive analysis. It further adopted the Administrative decentralization theory. It was established in the literature that local government is a political/administrative therapy for sustainable rural development in the southeast but has failed owing to some socio-political and economic factors, ranging from corruption, bad leadership etc. The paper found that the existence of local government has been recognized as fundamental to the rapid socio- political and economic transformation of localities where national/state governments may not be able

The gender issue has long been a matter of great interest when it comes to deal with African Literature, the question of sex is a topical issue in the African cultural mainstream, born out of Man’s crooked rib”, Women are generally portrayed as weak, sensitive and dependent beings. That worldwide depiction of women is based on manifold aspects deeply rooted on cultural, traditional, societal and religious conceptions and beliefs which aspire to weaken women’s status and promote men’s authoritarian position. As a result, the growth of Patriarchy which represents a last straw which breaks the camel’s, women suffered physically and psychologically at once in an environment where their being are still wretched due to cruel practices: rape, female genital mutilation, child abuse, forced marriage to name but a few which they were liable to undergo from childhood to adulthood. In The Hidden Face of Eve as well as in Woman at Point Zero El Saadawi comes to unveil women’s burden to the entire audience where she portrays the African Arab World and the patriarchal dynamic as the fence leading out of opulence and subjugation. In her capacity as a Psychiatrist, Nawal, in her works analyses and spotlights women’s lives. However, as a feminist, Nawal undertakes significant canvas, paving the way for the real essence of the African Arab woman through education, dislocation and prostitution which constitutes a double-edged sword. This paper aims at spotlighting the phallocentric blooming process with its norms and how the power of the female body can lead to empowerment in foiling men’s strategies. Through that aesthetic woman can move from dependency to independency from unconsciousness to consciousness, from no one to someone then production creativity and intellection gather around their real being in the one oriented society that impede their essence

This study analysed ethical issues bordering on the use of nude and manipulated pictures to illustrate news stories. The objectives were to: reappraise the ethical implications of the publication and pictorial portrayal of Muhammadu Buhari as Aminu Jubril, examine the ethical provision for publication of nude pictures with regards to the pregnant woman on maternity shoot and the lawyer who posted her nude picture and that of the lady who displayed her pubic area on the social media for tattoo drawing on her private part. The social responsibility theory formed the theoretical framework for the study. Textual analysis was used to appraise the level of conformity of the publication of nude and manipulated pictures to the provision of the ethics of journalism. The study found out that the publication and pictorial portrayal of Muhammadu Buhari as Aminu Jubril fell short of the ethical requirements for the practice of journalism; that the publication of nude pictures of women could only be justifiable in an extreme form of editorial of criticism or features and the publication of picture displaying the drawing of tattoo on the pubic area should be considered for specialised publication and advertisement or extreme media criticism. Based on the findings, the researchers recommended that the conventional media sustain their sound gatekeeping processes that prevent unconfirmed stories and offensive pictures from passing through the mainstream media. The conventional media should up advocacies and

Published: October 2023

Man is the interconnection of spirit, mind, soul and body. The body is the dwelling of the soul. The soul is the dwelling of the spirit, the source of life of the body, desires and feelings of man. The mind gives rise to thoughts and carries out their linguistic design. Thought is of a spiritual nature. The spirit penetrates into the living information of nature, into the soul and body, communicates with the spirits of other people. Jesus communicated with spirits. The human spirit communicates through prayer with God as a spiritual entity. He is the spiritual, moral, moral and ethical leader of the thinking, behavior and being of a person. Mind, spirit, soul and memory form a person in the process of human life. A person thinks and has spiritual qualities. Psalm 18:3 describes the nature of thinking. The night of the night reveals knowledge by penetrating the spirit into the living information of nature. Day to day conveys speech (communication) based on existing language knowledge. Communication can be live with people or with their knowledge. Communication with knowledge is carried out in the process of learning and creativity. Learning and creativity based on knowledge is carried out in the form of independent communication. In the process of communicating with people, a person manifests and forms the quality of the spirit. When communicating with righteous peaceful people, the spirit acquires useful qualities. When dealing with corrupt people, the spirit acquires pernicious qualities. The spirit of a child inherits generic qualities. In the process of communication, the spirit must learn to pacify the pernicious tribal qualities. The qualities of the spirit determine the ethical direction of thoughts and their linguistic design. In educational institutions, it is useful to study the spiritual laws of the Gospel, so that through their prism, children distinguish between good and evil and formed the right worldview, by reading literature and studying history, social sciences and cultural studies.

O presente trabalho, busca analisar as informações contidas nos Livros de Registros do Cartório de Registros Civil e Natural da Comarca de São Borja-RS, sob um conjunto de informações que envolviam a vida do cidadão são-borjense no período em questão (1889-1930). Para a realização da pesquisa foram utilizados materiais empíricos de dados cartoriais, com foco em registros de óbitos. Apresentando a história dos registros de óbitos, assunto principal desta pesquisa, e sua evolução/modificação no período do estudo ou a outros períodos, ao passo que investiga dados demográficos da cidade, para produzir comparações e aprofundamentos da pesquisa, trabalhando os dados com classificação, comparação e cruzamento. Delimitado o município de São Borja, no Rio Grande do Sul, na fronteira Oeste do estado, considera-se, para tal, a divisão territorial estabelecida pelo governo do estado, bem como de seus municípios vizinhos, entre eles: Itaqui, Santiago e São Luiz Gonzaga. Considerando os resultados da pesquisa, fica evidente que, no início do período, mais precisamente em 1889, muitos acontecimentos registráveis não foram lançados. Foi apenas em 1916, com a efetivação do Código Civil brasileiro, que o cumprimento da lei dos registros cartoriais aproximou-se mais da realidade.

Proses penulisan Tambo Nagari Pakan Rabaa Timur yang memuat informasi sejarah Nagari tersebut merupakan cerminan perjalanan masyarakat yang kompleks, termasuk episode konflik yang menghiasi memori kolektif mereka selama beberapa waktu. Dalam upaya merekonsiliasi masa lalu yang penuh gejolak, model penulisan sejarah rekonsiliatif dapat digunakan sebagai pendekatan alternatif. Tulisan ini merupakan refleksi implementasi model kegiatan partisipatif dalam penyusunan Tambo Nagari Pakan Rabaa Timur, sebuah karya sejarah lokal dengan menggunakan metode Participatory Action Research (PAR) analisis konten dan wawancara mendalam. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa keterlibatan masyarakat dalam proses penyusunan telah berhasil menghadirkan perspektif sejarah lokal dengan menggunakan narasi berimbang, pendekatan inklusif, serta pemahaman mendalam yang bersumber dari kearifan lokal Minangkabau. Model penulisan sejarah rekonsiliatif, seperti yang terlihat dalam Tambo Nagari Pakan Rabaa Timur, dapat dianggap sebagai perkembangan karya historiografi Minangkabau kontemporer.

Nachhaltigkeit und Weltbeziehung
Authors: Gehlen Yannik
Published: October 2023

This book provides a novel perspective on sustainability discourse by reconceptualising the manifold crises of modernity as crises in our relationship with the world through the lens of resonance theory. The author systematically explains in detail how key concepts from resonance theory, like resonance, alienation, dynamic stabilisation and uncontrollability, can be applied to a variety of sustainability-related topics, both in research and everyday life. His goal is to establish innovative approaches to analysing and interpreting issues regarding ecological and social sustainability and thus to enrich the scientific and societal debate by adding the notion of resonance to the materialistically dominated discourse.
