Published: December 2020

The majority of the population in most third world countries resides in the rural areas where farming is the predominant occupation. This study interrogated the extent to which sustainable agricultural practices can transform a rural farm population from one that is essentially poor to a vibrant semi-urban population whose standard of living is greatly enhanced in terms of income generation, access to basic necessities of life, education, sanitation, etc. Data was sourced from secondary materials which include books, magazines, journals, periodicals, newspapers, the internet, etc. the neoclassical theory of a linear closes system (Pearce, 1972) was adopted as the theoretical framework while the mode of content analysis employed as the tool of analysis revealed that a sustained agricultural practice can facilitate the process of poverty alleviation, improve the general welfare/living standard of the citizens and enhance the attainment of sustainable development in Nigeria. Government is therefore, advised to make greater effort at boosting sustainable agricultural practices as an avenue of facilitating sustainable development in the country.
ETHNIC BIAS, FAVORITISM AND DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA
Authors:   Department of Public Administration Federal Polytechnic Oko, Anambra State, Adaobi Elota
Published: December 2020

The leadership in many African Countries with their ethnic diversities is characterized by ethnic bias and favoritism and citizens are thus treated unequally in many respects, particularly when it comes to national resource allocation and political representation. This breads resentment and creates conditions for an ultimate rejection of the state by the frustrated and politically conscious masses. It is also a tantamount to corruption there by weakening the ability of the state to function efficiently and is therefore anti-developmental. In this paper, it argues that the socio economic crises in many African countries are aggravated by practices of ethnic Bias and favoritism that have consistently violated the principle of the impersonality of economic agents caused by resentment among the marginalized ethnic groups fuelled conflict and retarded development on the Continent. It is also recommended that a strong and credible judicial body with powers to investigate crimes against citizens and prosecute & punish offenders be established by the African Union.

Published: December 2020

Youth empowerment is the key to sustainable development. Nigeria which stands as the youngest population in Africa has more than 50% of her population fall within the age range known as Youths (16-39)(NBS Report, 2018).The implication of this reality is that Nigeria has a massive prospect for economic development but that will be if the country can efficiently harness this human resources efficiently. Though numerous youth empowerment programs have been put in place by the Nigerian government, those programs lack sustainability. Today, the sad reality is that most of the youths in Nigeria are unemployed.The Nigeria bureau of statistics states that about 20.9 Million Nigerians were unemployed as at the third quarter of 2018, this data also shows that more than 80% of this unemployed Nigerians are youths, the working population of the country.With such a population of youths and drastic dilemma of unemploymentand poverty in the country, there is a need for government to adopt new strategy to engage this young population in a very productive way.This paper examines youth empowerment concepts that can be used to engage this huge human resources (the youth in Nigeria) in a productive way that will build sustainable economic development. The paper X-rays youth empowerment concept and their developmental potentials if they are carefully implemented with regulatory frame work to drive their sustainability.The study utilized questionnaires as the primary source of data and research reports and academic publications as the secondary sources of data. The study recommended that the youth empowerment programs should be revamped in a strategic way that will engage the youths and add massive revenue to the economy.

Survival analysis involve the set of statistical techniques or procedures used to study time until an event occurs, these techniques are not without some conditions. One of the basic assumptions is that, to enable a straight forward interpretation of hazard rates of subject’s covariate(s) on some reference categories or in situations where variables are continuous in nature, the hazard rates must be constant through time “also known as the proportional hazard assumption” for cox regression. This assumption is often violated in medical practice where subject’s vital statistics or measures are often time varying, as their medical situations changes with time. This paper under study a modification of Piece wise survival model, where three levels of Weibull distribution were assumed for baseline hazards, the sensitivity of the baselines were assessed under four (4) censoring percentages (0%, 25%, 50%, & 75%) and sample sizes (n=100, n=500 & n=1000), for when models were Single parametric (SPM) and when partitioned – Piece wise Parametric Model (PPM). A Piece-wise Bayesian hazard model with structured additive predictors in which the functional form of time varying covariate was incorporated in a non-proportional hazards framework was developed, capable of incorporating complex situations in a more flexible framework. Analysis was done utilizing MCMC simulation technique. Results revealed on comparison that the PPM outperformed the SPM with smaller DIC values and larger predictive powers with the LPML criterion and consistently so throughout all simulations.

The rate of Small business failures in South East Nigeria in recent time has brought to the front burner, the critical role of Apprenticeship Training System in Business Sustainability. Business Failure has adverse impact on individuals, organizations and the entire system. Apprenticeship which is intergenerational means of transmitting technical skills and tacit knowledge from the master to the apprentices is gradually declining as a result of various factors like poor mentorship, educational and fund constraints. This paper therefore investigates apprenticeship training system and business sustainability in Anambra state using a population of 1000 respondents from different trades/ crafts/ business. Questionnaire was the main instrument of data collection while Chi- Square was used to test the hypotheses. Related literatures on apprenticeship and business sustainability were reviewed. Findings reveal that the level of education of the apprentices determines the acquisition of the trade knowledge and also the Masters williness to mentor the apprentices who must be ready and have the capacity to learn. Therefore the study recommends that apprentices must possess some levels of education that is basic for effective understanding and comprehension of trade knowledge and secrets. Also the masters must have mentoring skills to bring out the creativity in apprentices, while taking cognizance of business trends.

Published: December 2020

The Nigerian University system, which is designed and packaged to be a fulcrum for national development has witnessed so much industrial unrest. Strikes of various and reasons have become a normal phenomenon in growing inconsiderate policy making relationship between the government and academia. Though it is stipulated in the constitution that strikes can be used as avenues to express public opinion which can bring positive changes, and the frequency of industrial crisis/disputes has affects the standard and products of public Universities in Nigeria despite highly improved inputs and this situation is mirrored effectively in the Nigerian economy. This paper reviews the impact of industrial unions strike on the performance of public universities in Nigeria. The study revealed that the problem of industrial relations in the Nigerian University system were found to be lack of education of some labour leaders, the rigid structure of relationships, lack of flow of communication, management and government meddling with union affairs, frequent trade disputes, under funding and inadequate teaching facilities. Political factors were also discovered as some of the causes of industrial disputes within the university system. These affect student academic performance and generally loss of productivity in economic sector of Nigeria. The study recommended that both union leaders and management representatives should from time to time embark on training to understand the workings of industrial relations.

Sexual and gender issues have been a problem in Africa and in Nigeria in particular where females were considered less important than their male counterparts in their families, cooperatives, businesses, academic matters among others. Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is deeply rooted in many cultural and traditional values. It is regarded as a normal attitude, remains hidden and tacitly condoned. It has devastating health impacts on the women, as women are mostly controlled and dominated by their partners in a relationship and must never complain of sexual harassment and in the case of childlessness; the woman must accept it as her fault. This study was located in Nsukka Local Government area of Enugu State. A cross sectional survey of 200 study participants was conducted. The instruments used for data collection were structured 194 questionnaire and6 in-depth interview guide. The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), frequency distribution tables and chi-square (χ²) for hypotheses. The findings from the study stated that sexual/psychological, physical violence and preference of male child are the major forms of GBV in Nsukka, Enugu State. Majority of the respondents (55.7%) indicated that Spiritual manipulation and illiteracy/ignorance are the major causes of GBV. The study also concluded and recommended that mass sensitization/awareness, empowerment, advocacy by social workers, through domestication of the Convention to Eliminate All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), will help curb GBV as indicated by 42.7% of the respondents.

Robotics has been acknowledged process of main stream in the industrial automation domain for decades. It is gradually making its headway into the domain of military, medical and vehicle application domain. But only problem we might face is in controlling, the aim of this project is to enhance the interactivity. In Activities we have shown all the activities going around in the places where the basic activities are eating and cooking. In Environment we have shown the surroundings or environment where the activities are taking place. In Interaction we have shown the interaction between the person/object by which the activities are done. In Object section we have put the objects/tools connected to activities. In User we have shown the user that are involved in the activities in the given environment. For a controlling robotic arm in open source by adding a virtual world input by enabling the user to interact with the real world and making the entire process Eco friendly. Besides the research, humanoid robots are being developed to perform human tasks like personal assistance, through which they should be able to assist the sick and elderly, and dirty or dangerous jobs. Humanoids are also suitable for some procedurally-based vocations, such as reception-desk administrators and automotive manufacturing line workers. In essence, since they can use tools and operate equipment and vehicles designed for the human form, humanoids could theoretically perform any task a human being can, so long as they have the proper software. Ultrasonic actuators are designed to produce movements in a micrometer order at ultrasonic frequencies (over 20 kHz). They are useful for controlling vibration, positioning applications and quick switching. However, the complexity of doing so is immense.In our project we are designing humanoid robot. Which are activated through gesture. For gesture recognized we use MATLAB image processing technique. For wireless data transmission we use cc2500RF module as well as Bluetooth module. Here servo motor is used for arm controlling. DC motor used for platform movement. All this hardware control by ATmega328 microcontroller.

Transportasi pada hakekatnya merupakan derived demand yang mempunyai sifat menerus serta tidak mengenal batas, sehingga tidak bisa dipenggal atas dasar suatu wilayah administratif tertentu. Dalam kaitan ini, transportasi pada dasarnya adalah urat nadi kehidupan berbangsa dan bernegara, dimana pada tahap awal, peranan transportasi adalah sebagai “the promoting sector”, yaitu prasarana dan sarana transportasi disediakan mendahului pembangunan sektor-sektor lain, sedangkan pada tahap berikutnya peranan transportasi adalah sebagai “the servicing sector”. Jenis dan alat transportasi berbeda-beda sesuai dengan yang kita perlukan. Ada 3 jenis transportasi yang ada di dunia yaitu ada transportasi darat, transportasi air, dan transportasi udara. Diantara jenis-jenis transportasi tersebut, Transportasi laut memberikan kontribusi yang sangat besar bagi perekonomian nasional dan daerah sebagaimana amanat dalam Undang-Undang No. 17 Tahun 2008 menjadi suatu yang sangat strategis bagi wawasan nasional serta menjadi sarana vital yang menunjang tujuan persatuan dan kesatuan nasional. Perlu diketahui juga kontribusi transportasi laut menjadi semakin penting karena nilai biaya yang dikeluarkan adalah paling kecil bila dibandingkan dengan biaya transportasi darat dan udara. Selain itu, transportasi laut juga memiliki kelebihan, yaitu kapal laut dapat melewati medan yang tidak dapat ditempuh oleh kendaraan roda dua atau kapal udara. Sasaran utama pembangunan tol laut menurut Kementerian Perencanaan Pembangunan Nasional adalah terwujudnya Indonesia sebagai negara kepulauan yang mandiri, maju, kuat, dan berbasiskan kepentingan nasional.

Published: December 2020

Abstract: This paper presents the thermodynamic performance analysis of an existing combined cycle power plant to be retrofitted with a waste heat driven aqua lithium bromide absorption refrigerator for cooling the inlet air streams to the compressor and air-cooled steam condenser. The power plant is located in the hot and humid tropical region of Nigeria, latitude 4°45′N and longitude 7°00′E. This was achieved by performing energy and exergy analysis of the integrated system. Using the operating data of the existing combined cycle power plant, the results of the analysis showed that by cooling the inlet air streams to 15oC at the compressors, and to 29oC at the air-cooled steam condenser, the net power output, thermal and exergy efficiencies of the combined cycle plant increased by 7.7%, 8.1% and 7.5% respectively while the plant total exergy destruction rate and specific fuel consumption dropped by 10.8% and 7.0% respectively. The stack flue gas exit temperature reduced from 126oC to 84oC in the absorption refrigerator, thus reducing the environmental thermal pollution. The COP and exergy efficiency of the refrigeration cycle was 0.60 and 27.0%, respectively. Results also show that the highest rate of exergy destruction in the combined cycle power plant occurred in the combustion chamber while the highest rate of exergy destruction in the absorption refrigeration cycle occurred in the evaporator followed by the absorber.

Horizontes de la intervención social con infancia migrante en Chile
Authors: Pavez Soto Iskra , Galaz Valderrama Caterine , Poblete-Godoy Daniela , Acuña Valeria , Sepúlveda Natalia
Published: December 2020

El objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar sobre los paradigmas que subyacen en la intervención psicosocial con la infancia migrante y su familia. Se analiza en particular el modelo de competencias marentales/parentales y la noción de negligencia, así como los riesgos de atribuir causalidad a factores individuales y a un énfasis culturalista, por sobre las categorías sociales y estructurales. Mediante una metodología cualitativa, se entrevistó a profesionales y voluntariado de instituciones públicas y organizaciones no gubernamentales (ONG) de la Región Metropolitana. Se concluye que la intervención social generalmente está fundada en la visión del déficit de los sujetos intervenidos, en especial, si están situados en múltiples ejes de desigualdad; mientras que la persona interventora emerge como un sujeto que posee un saber experto. Se recomienda potenciar los recursos propios de la niñez migrante y sus familias, al tiempo, que las políticas públicas corrigen las desventajas estructurales.
