The Overview and Analysis of the Practice of Human Rights Education and Advocacy in Central Equatoria State and Further: Post 2005 to Present
Authors: Chaplain Kenyi Wani
Published: September 2023

The practice of human rights education and advocacy is to improve knowledge of human rights activities for communities in post-conflict. Central Equatoria State is where the human rights organizations have the base for their offices for operation in South Sudan. Coordinating the recovery and development process after civil war requires human rights principles, but it was neglected in Central Equatoria State. This research paper aims to assess the impact of the practice of human rights education and advocacy in Central Equatoria State and further in post-conflict in South Sudan. The practice of human rights education and advocacy is one of the pillars of the process of peacebuilding. Understanding the practice and advocacy on human rights education helps in assessing its impact on post-conflict communities. It contributes to knowledge of how effective the peacebuilding process was in preventing the resumption of conflict. The outbreak of intra-conflict in December 2013 in Juba shows that the peacebuilding process was ineffective. A qualitative method was applied for data collection. The stratified purposive interview was conducted in Juba and Kajo Keji Counties. Secondary literature was obtained from various academic and policy sources. The information was analyzed using ethnography, discourse, interpretation, observation, and interaction. The lack of interpreters for people who use sign language caused limitations in data collection, but disability is not an inability. Two focus group discussions were held: one in Juba and the other in Kajo Keji. Secondary data from various academic and policy institutions were supplemented with primary data. Coordinating the recovery and development processes requires principles for the practice of human rights education and advocacy. Development partners have underestimated the challenges they would face in the practice of human rights education and advocacy. The process for practice of human rights education and advocacy contributed less effective effort to the peacebuilding process to prevent the reoccurrence of conflict in Central Equatoria and the other states of South Sudan. The process would require the practice of good governance.
Ethical Leadership and Effective Management of Public Resources in Africa: The Tanzanian Experience of a Missing Link?
Authors: Sospeter Muchunguzi
Published: September 2023

This work explores the nexus between ethical leadership and the effective management of public resources. The major force is that any nation's performance, seeking to achieve its goals, depends on its leadership. This is especially true when ethical leadership translates into wise public policy design and implementation and good public service delivery to meet citizens' needs and ambitions. Unfortunately, the post-independence period in Africa has been characterized by a never-ending quest for the depressing trajectory of African economies. This paper employs a literature review of various sources. The objective is to better understand ethical leadership and effective management of public resources for African development by bringing out the Tanzanian experience. This study is based on findings from the literature review. Further studies are needed to include findings from Africa and elsewhere to give an informative work from a global perspective. This work is expected to inform researchers and all stakeholders concerned with leadership and development to get crucial information on the theoretical and policy gaps that must be addressed when dealing with ethical leadership. Topical gaps in the literature are suggested as prospective research areas.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF RAJASWALA PARICHARYA IN RELATION TO MEN-STRUAL DISORDERS A CROSS-SECTIONAL SURVEY STUDY
Authors: B L Smaran , F Hosur Asha
Published: September 2023

In women, menstruation is a common phenomenon that periodically repeats. During this phase, there is shedding of the endometrial layer which flows out of the body through the vagina along with blood. Due to these physio-logical changes and hormonal fluctuations, normal activities become stressful and demand measures to over-come the stress. Rajaswala Paricharya explained in Ayurveda can be considered as one such measure which is conceptualized to overcome this stress and maintain the health of women. This proposes various indications and contraindications of foods and activities during this phase. Since this Paricharya helps to overcome the most vul-nerable phase of the Menstrual cycle it might conceptually have positive long-term effects on the menstrual and gynecological health. This relation is studied through a cross-sectional survey study with a sample size of 100 women belonging to Shivamogga City, Karnataka. The 24 rules explained under Rajaswala Paricharya across different classics were considered and the survey was conducted to collect the data relating to their following of Rajaswala Paricharya along with data on menstrual and gynecological disorders. We find a marginal difference in the occurrence of gynecological disorders among women who have followed more than 80% of the mentioned rules. 44.44% of these women have any of the gynecological disorders where as 55.56% have no gynecological disorders. But in consideration of symptoms during menstruation, the women following a higher number of rules have a lesser number of menstrual symptoms. Women following more than 65% of the mentioned rules have an average of 2-3 symptoms, whereas women following less than 65% of Rajaswala Paricharya have an average of 4 menstrual symptoms. This represents the significance of following Rajaswala Paricharya.

Authors: Gracy Sokiya , Lata Arya , Gaurav Sharma
Published: September 2023

Tamakashwas is a disease of the respiratory tract which mainly affects the air passages and is characterized by
inflammation and narrowing of the airways. In modern medicine, it shows a close resemblance with bronchial
asthma based on clinical manifestations. The word 'asthma' is derived from the Greek meaning 'panting' or 'labored
breathing.' Asthma is a condition characterized by paroxysmal wheezing dyspnea (difficulty in breathing), mainly
expiratory. In the present case study, a 28-year-old female patient having signs and symptoms of Tamakashwas has
been discussed. The treatment was administered in accordance with Shamana Aushadhis and Sthanika Chikitsa.
Nidana Parivarjana is strictly instructed in order to avoid the stimulation of the internal pathology of the disease.
Classical management helps in relieving the symptoms as well as lowering the recurrence of breathing difficulty
attacks. Regular counselling and practice of Pranayama help to energise and renew her intellect. The assessment
was made on spirometry results. Ayurvedic management helps in achieving positive output with normal spirometry
results over a period of 8 months

Authors: A.S Sindhura.
Published: September 2023

Medical astrology is the branch of Vedic astrology that deals with health. The horoscope is a blueprint of the
whole being, reflecting the complex interaction of the body, mind, and soul. By the complementary combination
of Kaalachakra (the wheel of time) and Rashichakra (the circle of the zodiac) and thereby distinguishing various
ailments on various organs as indicated by the zodiac circle, a smart diagnostic methodology has been instituted
by medical astrology. Ayurveda has incorporated three types of diseases namely Drustapacharaja (doshaja), Purvaparadhaja (karmaja), and Sankara (mixed). Among them, Karmaja vyadhi can be diagnosed and treated with
the help of Vedic medical astrology. With the help of the natal horoscope the onset of the disease, the nature of
the disease, the diagnosis of the disease, the severity of the disease, and the treatment of the disease can be understood. In this article, an attempt has been made to assess the natal horoscope of a patient who is suffering from
mental illness since childhood taking the help of classical and contemporary text books of Astrology and applying
their principles in analyzing the combination and aspects of the related planets.
Suicidal Tendency Detection Using Machine Learning
Authors: B.Channarayapriya  , P.Suresh kumar Reddy
Published: September 2023

Suicidal Tendency or the intension to kill oneself or end one’s life is a catastrophic situation which is mostly unknown by any person in the victim’s life. Suicide has been an intractable public health problem despite advances in the diagnosis and treatment of major mental disorders. In many studies it is clearly evident that, victims tend to kill themselves either to end their pain or pressure or to have a sense of relief that they are not going to live in this world anymore. This project aims to propose a method that helps the family, friends or the close ones of the victim to immediately detect if the person has already started feeling the sense of depression. The main aim is to find a strong co-relation between components in the subsystem and compare the accuracies to build an alarming system. “Better late than never” the victim can be saved by the proposed method and immediate treatment can be started. Unlike the existing systems, this project aims to detect the suicidal tendencies in multiple aspects instead of focusing on a single perspective.

Authors: Alhassan Hamidu , Addae Aikins , Quarcoo Millicent Akosua , Danquah Godwin Kusi
Published: September 2023

This study aims at investigating the most used modal verbs and their semantic implications on the COVID-19 addresses delivered by Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo, the president of the Republic of Ghana. In all, 96,784 running words were culled from thirty (30) presidential addresses to build a specialised corpus for the study. Using the Antconc corpus software, 3.5.9 version, five (5) modal auxiliaries, that is, epistemic and non-epistemic (root) modal verbs were found to constitute the most frequently occurring modals in the presidential COVID-19 addresses. The analysis revealed five (5) thematic areas which these modal verbs covered - willingness, possibility, prediction, ability, and probability. These thematic areas give an indication that the president showed more commitment to dealing with the pandemic. This was evidenced by the number of times the president used non epistemic modal verbs which demonstrate ability, willingness, and possibility in handling the coronavirus pandemic. Again, the corpus revealed that the president’s measures were on the back of some form of his existing knowledge in dealing with the pandemic.

MIGRATION, IDENTITY AND RECONSTRUCTION OF FEMALE MIGRANTS’ EXPERIENCES IN CHIKA UNIGWE’S BETTER NEVER THAN LATE
Authors: Akpan Kufre A. , Udoette Monica
Published: September 2023

This paper interrogates migration, identity and the nuances of female migrants’ experiences in Chika Unigwe’s Better Never than Late. The paper notes that, although women seem to have dominated the global migration flow, migration has mostly been considered from an overwhelmingly male perspective, perhaps, due to the male predominance in the process. This development, most often, creates complexes that diminish the identity and self-worth of women in their destination countries. It also leads to some misrepresentations and erroneous portrayal of migrant women in some literary and critical discourses on migration. Against this backdrop, this paper attempts a deconstruction and reconstruction of this perception and establishes that women, like men, are also active participants in the migration process and not merely appendages of male migrants. The paper adopts Post-colonial Feminist theory as its theoretical position and, through analysis of some extrapolations in some selected stories in Unigwe’s text mentioned above, the paper reveals that, given their multifaceted roles, women contribute immensely to the economic development of their countries of destination, through their competencies and skills. The paper concludes on an appeal note, that countries should evolve legal instruments that promote the rights of migrant women.

Authors: Do Amaral Maria João Pais , Garcia Maria Teresa Martinez
Published: September 2023

Este estudio destaca la necesidad de realizar investigaciones más amplias sobre la pronunciación en una segunda lengua (L2), abarcando diversos idiomas para evitar la exclusividad del enfoque en el inglés. En el texto proponemos que, al investigar una variedad de idiomas y contextos, se puede obtener una comprensión más completa de la adquisición fonológica en la L2 y mejorar las estrategias pedagógicas. Este artículo propone centrarse en las fricativas de estudiantes surcoreanos aprendiendo español y portugués (y viceversa), ya que estos grupos están poco representados en la literatura. Se aborda cómo los aprendices a menudo intentan reemplazar fonemas que no existen en su lengua materna con sonidos similares que sí existen. También se destaca la importancia de la instrucción explícita de pronunciación en el aula, que puede mejorar la precisión en la producción de sonidos en la L2.

Acanthosis nigricans maligna (ANM) is a distinctive dermatologic entity presenting with cutaneous hyperpigmentation and epidermal thickening, characteristically located in flexural areas and skin folds. Despite its apparent cutaneous nature, ANM is frequently associated with underlying neoplastic conditions, implying profound clinical significance. In this study, we undertook a comprehensive evaluation of ANM from clinical, pathological and molecular perspectives with the aim of elucidating its etiopathogenic mechanisms and its relationship with neoplastic processes. From a clinical standpoint, we retrospectively analyzed a cohort of patients diagnosed with ANM, exploring the clinical and epidemiologic features that could indicate the presence of an underlying malignant condition. In addition, histopathologic studies were performed on samples of affected skin to discern the microscopic alterations associated with ANM and their correlates with neoplastic processes. In a molecular phase, an in-depth analysis of genetic and molecular markers in skin samples and associated tumor tissues was carried out using advanced sequencing techniques. This allowed the identification of specific mutations, chromosomal alterations and gene expression profiles that could contribute to both the occurrence of ANM and the promotion of the microenvironment conducive to tumor development. The results obtained indicate a significant correlation between the presence of ANM and the abnormal activation of cell signaling pathways, as well as the altered expression of regulatory factors of cell growth and differentiation. Our study highlights the importance of considering ANM as a potential cutaneous marker of underlying neoplastic processes and suggests that its early detection could facilitate the early identification of early stage malignant conditions. Taken together, this comprehensive analysis provides an in-depth view of ANM and its clinical, pathological and molecular relevance in the context of neoplastic diseases.

The defendant is the person against whom the criminal action was initiated. The defendant is a part of the criminal incrimination process, both during the criminal investigation and during the preliminary phase or trial phase, being a passive subject of both the criminal investigation and the civil action taken. Authors, co-authors, accomplices, instigators of the crime in the form of a consummated or exhausted attempt, who have criminal capacity, can be accused. Both physical and legal persons can be defendants. One or more persons can acquire the quality of defendants during the criminal investigation. The purpose of the work is to show the important role of taking the defendant's statements and the way of listening to them by the judicial bodies. Unlike the statements of the injured person, which can be considered as having, in principle, more credibility and probative value, the statements of the defendants cannot have this characteristic, taking into account on the application of the procedural provisions and the consideration of the mental resources that determine each category of participants to process of adopting a sincere position or, on the contrary, insincere. With regard to the way of listening to the defendant, we will note that the New Code of Criminal Procedure provides that the following rights and obligations must be made known to him for the first time: the right not to give any statement during the criminal trial, the right to consult the file, the right to have a chosen lawyer, the right to propose the administration of evidence , the obligation to appear at all the summons of judicial bodies, the obligation to communicate any change of address, the obligation to tell the truth.

Leucism is expressed as the almost total decoloration of certain or whole parts of the body, but preserving the typical color of eyes, nails, and skin. We show the first known case of leucism in a three-striped palm squirrel in Telangana, India. On 12th December 2022, we observed a white-coloured juvenile three-striped palm squirrel along with its mother and another juvenile on the bund of the Rayasamudram tank in Ramachandrapuram of Sangareddy district, Telangana State, India. It was white, with a pinkish snout, ears, and limbs, but its eyes were normal colored. Hence we concluded that the juvenile three-striped palm squirrel was affected by leucism. The observation is the first report of leucism in three-striped palm squirrels in the state of Telangana, India. Documenting abnormal coloration will help provide insights into the underlying causes of this phenomenon and their prevalence, distribution, and impacts on survival.

Several studies done in Kenya reveal that most of the learners with mild and moderate intellectual challenges in special schools and special units remain in school for a longer duration than necessary. They neither join vocational institutions for further learning nor get integrated back to the community for basic independent living. Remaining in school for a prolonged duration while their peers progress academically, may have a social and psychological impact on the IDD learners in the special units/schools. This study explored factors leading to low transition rate of learners with Intellectually and Developmentally Disabilities (IDD). A mixed method approach, convergent parallel design was used to collect and analyze the data. Simple random sampling was done to select the 10 special units in Kajiado County. Purposive sampling was done to select learners with IDD who have been in the special units for a period of 7 years and above and their parents/caregivers. The learners were 85 and their parents/caretakers 85. All the 26 teachers in the selected special units participated in the study. The target population was 343 while the sample size was 196 respondents. Tools for collecting data were, questionnaires, focus group discussion guide and observation schedule. Teachers filled in the questionnaires; parents/caretakers participated in the focus group discussion while the observation guide was used for the learners as they worked. Quantitative data was analyzed through descriptive statistics while qualitative date was analyzed through NVivo software version 12. School records from special units in Kajiado show IDD learners who have been in the same class for a period of over 10 years (MoE Kajiado, 2021) while their peers in the mainstream schools transition every academic year to the next level. The study findings further revealed that low rate of transition is caused by a number of factors, among them, lack of prevocational skills, lack of certificates, unavailability of accessible polytechnics, and inadequate learning resources.

Published: September 2023

This study investigates the impact of financial development on information and communication technology (ICT) in sub-Saharan Africa. The analysis utilizes a panel dataset comprising 48 countries from the region and employs the bootstrap ordinary least squares (OLS) technique to ensure accurate and robust results. The findings reveal a significant and positive relationship between financial development and ICT indicators. Panel unit root tests indicate a combination of non-stationary behavior and stationarity after differencing the variables. Panel cointegration tests confirm a long-run, continuous cointegration between financial development and ICT infrastructure. The empirical results demonstrate significant cointegration between financial development and various ICT indicators, including internet usage, mobile subscriptions, telephone subscriptions, and fixed broadband subscriptions. The bootstrap OLS method further reveals that financial development has a statistically significant impact on the development of these ICT indicators. The results are robust, as confirmed by the Driscoll-Kraay standard errors regression. Based on these findings, policy recommendations are provided to enhance the synergy between financial development and ICT in sub-Saharan Africa, including promoting financial inclusion, investing in ICT infrastructure, strengthening financial sector regulations, fostering public-private partnerships, investing in digital skills and education, and supporting entrepreneurship and innovation.

The study examined the new contributory pension scheme and the investment of pension fund for improved benefits. Descriptive statistics was used in analyzing the responses elicited through questionnaire, from the sampled population. Data gathered from in-depth interview were analyzed qualitatively in other to test the hypothesis. It was found that the investment of pension funds has not led to fair returns in retirees Retirement savings accounts (RSA) balance. The study suggests diversification of the portfolio and modes of investment of pension funds by the PFAs to include greater emphasis on the real estate and infrastructures, a part from government secured bonds. It is also suggested that Pen Com as the regulator should ensure adequate supervision of the activities of the PFAs so they can declare fair returns.
