Authors: Asigbo Alex Chinwuba , Amalukwue Lotachukwu Loveth
Published: July 2023

The art of minstrelsy is very prevalent in traditional African society. Minstrels abound in these societies and they are mostly regarded as singers, musicians or reciters of poems. They are notable for their itinerant nature which makes them familiar with the goings on in their immediate societies. Even with the transition of most African societies from oral to written culture as a result of colonialism which introduced the Western system of education in Africa, the activities of these minstrels have not ebbed. Instead, it has found renewed expression on the pages of the collection(s) of poetry of contemporary Nigerian and by extension, African poets. This paper studied two collections of poetry of the poets under study; Akachi-Adimora-Ezeigbo’s Heart Songs and Waiting for Dawn and Ezenwa- Ohaeto’s The Voice of the Night Masquerade and The Chants of a Minstrel. It employed Formalism (New Criticism) theory in the analysis of these works. This paper showed that Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo writes from the angle of a wandering minstrel which affords her the opportunity to permeate different segments of her society. Ezenwa-Ohaeto on the other hand employed, not only the masquerade minstrel personae in his collection of poetry, The Voice of the Night Masquerade but equally structured the work on the circular movement associated with the entrance and exit of the Night masquerade. Also, he equally writes The Chants of a Minstrel from the angle of the mad man and itinerant minstrel persona. The research concludes on the note that these contemporary Nigerian poets studied have succeeded in continuing the art of minstrelsy prevalent in their cultural milieu even as they incorporate their wandering/itinerant nature in their works.

There are several reasons, first, administrative habits that have been carried out by transferring inheritance first to all heirs based on the Declaration of Heirs, then transferring to one of the heirs based on APHB. Second, the record problem. Third, the problem of local taxes that will be reduced. The ineffectiveness of this article can harm interested parties because it can be detrimental in terms of time and costs when registering the transfer of rights due to inheritance

Authors: Tilva Dr. SH , Parikh Dr. UR , Goswami Dr. HM
Published: July 2023

Introduction: To estimate a cut off for Reticulocyte Hemoglobin Content (CHr) and compare it
with Serum Ferritin for diagnosis of Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA). Material & Methods: A total
of 188 samples were included in the analytical study out of which 126 were categorized as study samples
and 62 as control. CBC and Reticulocyte analysis were carried out and the parameters were compared.
Results: CHr has a better sensitivity and specificity compared to Serum Ferritin. Low CHr is a marker for
early diagnosis of iron deficiency whereas a raised CHr is an early sign of response to iron therapy. A
CHr cut-off of 28.4 pg was established which is comparable with that of other studies. Conclusion: The
study demonstrates that CHr is a useful parameter that can be confidently used in the diagnosis of IDA.
Purchasing Decisions in Terms of Perceived Quality and Product Knowledge towards Electrical Products
Authors: Rathod Khushi
Published: July 2023

The present research paper investigates the factors influencing purchasing decisions concerning electrical products, specifically focusing on the role of perceived quality and product knowledge. As consumers’ expectations and preferences evolve, understanding how individuals perceive quality and employ product knowledge is crucial for marketers and manufacturers aiming to develop effective marketing strategies. This study aims to contribute to the existing literature by exploring the relationships between perceived quality, product knowledge, and purchasing decisions in the context of electrical products. The research employs a quantitative approach, utilizing a survey questionnaire administered to a diverse sample of consumers. Multiple dimensions of perceived quality are assessed, including durability, reliability, performance, aesthetics, and customer service. Product knowledge is measured by evaluating consumers’ familiarity with technical specifications, features, and brand reputation. The survey also captures demographic variables and purchase-related information to analyse potential variations in purchasing behaviour. The findings reveal a positive correlation between perceived quality and purchasing decisions, indicating that consumers tend to prioritize products with higher perceived quality when making purchasing choices. Moreover, the study highlights the significant impact of product knowledge on purchasing decisions, indicating that consumers with a higher level of product knowledge are more likely to make informed and favourable purchase decisions. Furthermore, the research identifies specific dimensions of perceived quality that have a stronger influence on purchasing decisions, shedding light on the aspects that hold greater importance for consumers in the context of electrical products. The study also examines the moderating role of demographic factors, such as age, gender, and income, on the relationship between perceived quality, product knowledge, and purchasing decisions. The results of this research paper have implications for marketers, manufacturers, and policymakers. Understanding the determinants of consumers’ purchasing decisions can assist in developing targeted marketing strategies, enhancing product development processes, and providing tailored information to consumers. By addressing the factors influencing perceived quality and product knowledge, stakeholders can improve consumer satisfaction and loyalty, leading to long-term success in the highly competitive electrical products market.

MCAST Foundation Students Journey of the Self through the Community Social Responsibility Unit: A Micro-ethnographic Approach
Authors: Buttigieg Robert
Published: July 2023

Even though to date there are several studies which have dealt with the themeof self-awareness, only a fraction of them have investigated whether, and when, studentsdeem self-exploration-related curriculum to be relevant. Thus, this micro-ethnographicstudy attempts to address this research gap by acquiring insights into how foundationstudents, most of whom happen to come from challenging backgrounds, are influencedby self-awareness sessions presented through the Community Social Responsibility (CSR)unit. The research additionally focuses upon the point at which foundation studentsrecognise the curriculum being offered during such sessions as relevant. The initial primarydata for this qualitative study was acquired by means of micro-ethnography. The analyticmemos extracted through an iterative-inductive approach served as a basis for thecompilation of specific guiding questions, which were later used to conduct a number ofsemi-structured interviews. These were followed up by a final focus-group. The analysisof the data indicates that a student perceives curriculum and its content as relevant,specifically upon recognition of its utility value. Recognising the experience as useful gavethe sessions appeal and augmented the students will to be present. Yet it also resultedthat the students state of mind, which is conditioned by their emotional state, is a majorinfluencing factor. Emotions, which actively influence ones interpretation and approachtowards an experience, may be externally induced, yet they can also be of a latent nature,lodged at a more subconscious level. The findings of this research suggest that to instiland increase relevance, the educational experience at MCAST Foundation Programmesrequires to be perceived as both valuable and enjoyable by the students.

Authors: Cutajar Gareth
Published: July 2023

Restoration programmes aid in preserving local building heritage for futuregenerations. Documentation of these restoration programmes is a fundamental taskin conserving and reserving significant cultural cultural buildings. Documenting anddeveloping a conservation strategy for a historical structure is quite a complex task andrequires not only planning the interventions required to conserve a building but also forfuture maintenance to enhance the effectiveness of such work. This paper is divided intofive sections. The first section, the introduction, gives a description and overview of thesubject being studied. In the second section, the existing literature study evaluates differentparadigms of protecting existing significant historic buildings. This is followed by anexplanation of the historical context and the history related to the subject studied. Finally,research on the documentation process is also reviewed. The third section describes themethodological approach that aided the analysis of this studys research questions in thefourth section. The fifth section gathers the primary and secondary data analysed and sumsup everything in accordance with the proposed research questions of this study. In order toconduct this research, the Church of St. Nicholas at Fort Ricasoli was used as the main casestudy. A detailed investigation of the church to identify the significance of conserving suchbuildings and an investigation of the existing conditions of the church were conducted. Thisaided in establishing the documentation process prior to the actual interventions on thefabric. In order to carry out such a process, different methods of documentation were used,such as laser scanning surveys, photogrammetry, and documentation of the existing stateof the building to aid in the process of deciding on future interventions. As a result of sucha process, considerations of appropriate uses of such methods and proposals were givenand, additionally, considerations of successful conservation after the actual conservation arehighlighted. The proposal for the conservation of the church of St. Nicholas at Fort Ricasolialso aims to set guidelines for other conservation programmes within the fort, amongstother local restoration projects. Conservation of abandoned structures will enhance thelocal context in various aspects. Finally, conservation programmes will give potentialbenefits to the Maltese islands. Giving back these historically significant monuments to thegeneral public will aid the Maltese islands economy.
