Authors: Muhammad Idris Ahmad , Eshimiakhe Daniel , Ibrahim Adam Shehu , Gambo Jibrin , Abubakar Hussaini
Published: April 2023

This research aims to explore the geological formation and sub-surface lithology modelling of Hadejia, Jigawa State using the VES (vertical electrical sounding) method. The VES method is a geophysical technique that measures the electrical resistivity of the subsurface, which is related to the lithology of the rock units. The study area is located in the north-western part of Nigeria, on latitudes 12025’23.73‘‘N and longitudes 10°04’06.74‘‘E, and is characterized by a chad formation geological setting with a variety of rock units, including sandstones, shales, and limestone. The research was conducted using a total of 50 VES stations, which were distributed over the study area in a grid pattern. The data collected from the VES stations were analyzed using the IPI2WIN software. The results were used to create a subsurface electrical resistivity model, which was then used to infer the lithology units present in the subsurface. The results showed that the study area is characterized by a complex subsurface structure, with several rock units present, including sandstones, silt, and clay. The subsurface electrical resistivity model revealed that the sandstone units are located at shallow depths, while the silt units are found at deeper depths. The clay is present at intermediate depths and is interbedded with sandstones and clay. The results provide valuable information for hydro-geological and mineral exploration in the area.

Published: April 2023

Recent research has demonstrated the utility of extending continuous distributions in fitting data of all kinds. This paper proposes the Type II Half-Logistic Exponentiated Weibull (TIIHLEtW) Distribution as a new distribution. For the Type II Half-Logistic Exponentiated Weibull distribution, we obtain precise expressions for the quantile function, probability-weighted, moments, moments generating function, reliability function, hazards function, and order statistics. The maximum likelihood estimation approach is used to estimate the parameters of the new distribution, and a simulation study is presented. Two real data sets are used to demonstrate the new distribution's applicability and flexibility. The findings indicated that the new distribution is a better fit for the data compared to the other models that were examined.

Authors: Ramli Muhammad , Cahyadi Ani , Mizani Hilmi , Hendryadi  , Mais Rimi Gusliana
Published: April 2023

This study investigated the impact of loneliness on academic self-efficacy (ASE) and student engagement in the context of remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, as a boundary condition, we examined the role of intermediate ASE in the relationship between loneliness, student engagement, and perceived humor in learning. A total of 367 undergraduate students from six universities in Indonesia completed an online questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Macro Process version 4 to test the moderating mediation model hypothesis. As expected, the study results show that loneliness is negatively related to ASE and student engagement. ASE is proven to affect student engagement positively; concurrently, it plays an intermediate role in the link between loneliness and student engagement. Finally, humor had a significant moderating effect on learning in the tested model. This study contributes to the existing literature on loneliness and student engagement by uncovering the intermediate role of ASE. Drawing on the social cognitive theory (SCT) and instructional humor processing theory (IHTP), we explored how perceived humor in learning moderates the relationships between loneliness, ASE, and student engagement.

LEVİNAS'A KARŞI LEVİNAS
Authors: ATAKUL Nur Betül
Published: April 2023

Emmanuel Levinas çağdaş Fransız felsefesinin en önemli isimlerinden biridir. Onun düşüncesi neredeyse bütün bir Batı felsefesine meydan okur ve etiği ilk felsefe olarak kabul ederek ontoloji temelli, özne/bilinç merkezli felsefeyi karşısına alır. Bununla birlikte Levinas, yalnızca ontolojiyi “ilk felsefe” kabul eden bütün bir felsefe geleneğini eleştirmekle kalmaz aynı zamanda Batı felsefesi içerisinde geliştirilmiş bütün etiklere karşı da eleştirel bir tutum sergiler. Çünkü onun felsefesinde özne üzerinden kurulan bütün ahlak teorileri bir kenara bırakılarak, Başka ve Başka’nın yüzünde (suretinde) gün yüzüne çıkan buyruğun kuruculuğu vurgulanır. Etik belirli değerler hiyerarşisini, erdemlerin üstünlüğünü ya da yasayı yücelten bir felsefi uğraş olmaktan öte, öznenin tahakkümünü kıran, onu Başka karşısında güçsüz kılarak yeniden kuran temel uğraş olmaya yükselir. Başka’nın yüzünde, özneye seslenen buyruk “Öldürmeyeceksin!” diyerek özneyi Başka’nın bütün sorumluluğunu üstlenmeye davet eder. Levinas’ın asimetrik etiği ötekini düşünmek adına oldukça sarsıcıdır.

Bununla birlikte Levinas bir Talmud yorumcusudur. Felsefi eserleri ile Yahudilik ve Talmud üzerine kaleme aldığı eserlerini ayırsa ve hiçbir zaman felsefi yapıtlarında dini temellendirmelere başvurmasa da onun düşüncesinde Yahudiliğin etkilerini görmemek mümkün değildir. Bu ikili entelektüel kimlik Levinas’a dair önemli bir sorgulamayı da gündeme getirir: Başka’nın önceliğini savunan ve tüm felsefesini buradan hareketle kuran Levinas’ın İsrail devletinin kuruluşuna ve İsrail’in Başka’sı olan Filistin halkına karşı amansız tutumuna bakışı nasıldır? Burada bu sorunun yanıtını ararken Levinas’ın etiğini kadim bir sorunun ışığında test etmeye çalışacağız: Acaba teorik manada çok iyi bir biçimde kurgulanmış bir etik, pratik-ahlaki planda tam manasıyla karşılık bulabilir mi? Yoksa teori pratikle sınandığında başarısız olmaya mahkûm mudur?

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of alcohol use disorders among patients attending psychiatry unit of KIU-TH. The researcher used a retrospective study in patients admitted at KIU-TH psychiatry unit within a period of six months from January, 2017 to June, 2017. From the results of this study, mental health problems were on the increase and up to 34% of admissions were due to alcohol related mental disorders, 70.6% are new admissions. Alcohol induced psychosis is the most prevalent diagnosed alcohol related mental illness with 41.2%, followed by Alcohol abuse with 23.5%, then alcohol withdrawal with 17.6%. Stress was the number one factor associated with alcohol use mental disorder with 70.6%. However, when treated, alcohol related mental disorders has a good prognosis of 82.6%. It is recommended that KIUTH in collaboration with the University section should create awareness of alcoholism as a mental health disorder that can be managed and treated. Youths should abstain from alcohol completely or limit their intake of alcohol. Alcohol sale and use should be strictly limited to few licensed shops.

Published: April 2023

This study on the prevalence of TB among HIV sero-positive was carried at the HIV CLINIC of Kampala International University Teaching Hospital (KIUTH), Ishaka Bushenyi district. A retrospective cross-sectional study design was used to conduct this research. The study targeted all patients attending KIUTH HIV/TB clinic. A standard structured and semistructured questionnaires were designed and pre-tested for validity and reliability at Kampala International University Teaching Hospital HIV/Tuberculosis clinic before being used for data collection. Data collection started by recruitment of qualified research assistants, appropriate training and orientation of the interviewers before the survey for example when reading the questions. Quantitative methods of data analysis was used in which data was presented in form of bar charts, graphs and tables. The prevalence of TB among HIV sero-positive patients attending HIV clinic at KIUTH stands at 8.06 per 100 participants. The study found that generally, people are aware about the modes of transmission of TB but there is still need for more awareness. Many patients are still not certain whether TB is curable in HIV patients. As seen from the above study, most of the people are not yet aware whether HIV goes hand in hand with tuberculosis. The prevalence of TB in HIV sero-positive attending HIV clinic at KIUTH is high. Generally, TB is affecting patients of all ages and most patients are still not aware if TB in HIV is curable. Most patients have a perception that all TB patients have HIV. Health workers in HIV clinic of KIU-TH should teach patients the modes of transmission and prevention of TB. KIUTH also need to provide easy access to TB screening services to patients. There is need for financial support by the government to the unemployed patients and low-income earners in order to curb TB infections. Keywords: Tuberculosis, HIV, Sero-positive, Bushenyi District

The study investigated principals’ administrative strategies as correlates of teachers’ job performance in public secondary schools in Obollo-Afor Education Zone of Enugu State. Four research questions and four null hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted a correlational survey design. The population of the study was 1,854 principals and teachers in 48 secondary schools in the Zone. A sample of 605 teachers was drawn using proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection and was subjected to face-validation by three experts. The internal consistency of the instrument was obtained using Cronbach Alpha, which yielded an index of 0.72. Data collected were analyzed using regression analysis while regression ANOVA was used in testing the formulated hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The result of the study revealed that, open communication, carrying teachers’ along and providing for teachers’ welfare among others are principals’ administrative strategies for enhancing teachers’ job performance in secondary schools. The result also, revealed a high positive significant relationship existing between principals’ administrative strategies in decision making, delegation of duties, open communication and management of staff welfare and teachers’ job performance in secondary schools. The study recommended among others that principals in public secondary schools should adopt positive administrative strategies as identified in this study to promote teachers’ job performance.
