Published: September 2023

Land use-land cover (LULC) changes are important factors that affect urban conditions and functions. Land and buildings will therefore continue to witness conversion of use as a result of several human activities competing for scarce land. The study investigates LULC in Abeokuta between 1996 and 2016. The specific objectives are to (1) categorize and measure the area extent (2) examine the trend (3) determine the contributing factors and predict future changes in Abeokuta. Multispectral images (1996 – 2016) at interval of ten years were obtained from USGS Land Change Modeler of Idrisi selva and used for the landuse change analysis and predictions. ArcGIS Software was used to enhance the Transitional Map productions. There was a progressive increase in built up area extent throughout the study period. Between the years 1996 and 2006 urban area grew by 12sqkm while the period between 2006 and 2016 witnessed an increase of 8kmsq. Vegetation experienced the highest decrease in land cover extent for the years between 1996 and 2006, decreasing at a rate of 2.4sqkm per year. However, the rate of loss in vegetative land cover reduced significantly over the next 10 years by 4kmsq increase between 2006 to 2016.

Published: September 2023

The study looks at the reproductive health behaviour and associated problems of street children, using some Ibadan markets and taxi parks as a case study. The study employed the use of surveys, in-depth interviews and focus group discussions to collect information from street children and significant others in their environment. The findings reveal that street children in Ibadan engage in risky sexual behaviour, maintain multiple sex partners and rarely use condoms. As a result, street children are at a great risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS.
PDP Party Politics and the Subversion of Federalism in Nigeria
Authors: Egwim Anibrose I.
Published: September 2023

This paper argues that party politics and election activities affect the practice of federalism. The exit of the military from government house has not terminated their centralizing and unitarizing tendencies, which they introduced in January 1966. The explanation for this continued centralization, despite having returned to democratic rule since May, 1999, may be found in the structure and organization of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the a dominant political parry, which has enjoyed near hegemonic power since May 1999; PDP controls of 28 out of the 36 states of Nigeria, and also controlled the National Assembly with a large majority. The military dictatorship did not end with military rule; rather it was transformed into a political party (PDP), manned by a former autocratic general who was being forced into a democratic mode.
Sellers’ Behaviour in an Informational Efficient Market
Authors: Akintoye Ishola Rufus
Published: September 2023

Theoretically, in an informational efficient market, trading activities should have a directorial relationship. Ordinarily, the probability of making high returns should influence sellers to supply more and vice-versa ! (Karpoff, 1987). One of the basic assumptions of this theory is that information is uniformly interpreted and understood by market players (Akintoye and Asaolu 2008; Pandey, 1999). Where the assumption of uniform interpretation is relaxed and there is the possibility of different interpretations of the same information, seller behaviour may not necessarily follow the directorial postulation: but all inverse relationship may result and this could cause different behaviours in the same market (Barron and Karpoff, 2004). This study, therefore, considers the relationship between trading volume (supply) and the precision of public announcement under uniform and different interpretations, It was recommended that every seller should take enough time t0 obtain relevant market information and also to strive to understand the exact meaning of such information through attendance at seminars, conferences, training programmes, and other information media, so as to maximize investment returns.

Background: Wearing of face-masks remains one of the most prominent non-pharmaceutical pre-ventive interventions against transmission of COVID-19 virus and other infectious diseases. In this study, we evaluated facemask ownership and handling patterns during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ekiti State, located in southwestern Nigeria.
Methods: We conducted an online cross-sectional survey among residents above age 18, within three Local Government Areas (Ado-Ekiti, Oye-Ekiti, and Ikole-Ekiti) in the State. Five hundred fifty-three respondents consented to the study procedures and completed the close-ended question-naire shared via social media. Data obtained were entered into Microsoft Excel Software and sub-sequently analyzed in SPSS 20.0 software for basic descriptive statistics. The association between variables was also examined using chi-square tests and the significant level was set at 95%.
Results: Findings showed an ownership rate of 98.1%. Over half of the respondents, 305(57.5%), wore face-mask regularly 305 (57.5%), while 170(32.1%) occasionally wore masks and 55 (10.4%) rarely wore masks. Furthermore, majority of the respondents 470 (90.2%) wore facemask appropriately to cover both nose and mouth. However, about one-third of the participants 123(29.5%) wore facemask under their nose, covering only their mouth. Majority of the participants 308 (60.0%) touch their face and mask intermittently, and only 291(56.0%) clean their hands after removing their masks.
Conclusion: This study highlights the need for increased awareness on proper handling of face-masks to curtail transmission of COVID-19 virus, or other airborne infections..

Applying Decisions’ Theory to choose an Alternative Factor for Spatial Development in Holy Karbala Governorate
Authors: Zahraa Mohammed Jasim  , Mohammed Jasim Sha’ban
Published: September 2023

It is very well known in the planning publications that when creating spacing development to a region or sub-region, it can be able to make more than an alternative consisting with the strategic directions overtaken from the actual development of region and the situational and developmental objectives needed. However, the difficulty facing the situational planning is in selecting one of these alternatives to be the best in order to make a balanced situational re-structure, and achieving the economic, social and civil objectives. The developmental situation elements in the regions and governorates, including (Karbala) impose themselves as situational power which implies the process of re-structural arrangement where the situational development is considered the active method for such arrangement. Thus, the difficulty of making decision in selecting any of the developmental alternatives seems easier for the situational planner as he has the programming methods and operations researches. The scientific method is used for making decision to suggest the developmental alternative which can achieve the strategic comprehension of the development elements and ensures the exploitation better to achieve the decree objectives.  The method of decisions making theory is considered one scientific method which can be used in this regard. They mechanism of the decisions theory implies making more than one alternative to arrange the strategies and objectives in a matrix through which can make more than a case of making decision towards selecting the suitable situational  strategy to achieve the objectives under the case of making decision brunt determined by the interdependent aspect in making decision. This necessitates knowledge of the developmental reality of the studied region or province. Therefore, the applied study of the developmental reality in the Karbala (region) province showed that there are two strategies that can be adopted to bring about spatial development in that province: the balanced growth strategy in the first, rational aspect drawn for sectors for development and the decision to maximize returns, and in the second aspect (cumulative) and the third (participatory), as well as the application proved the possibility of adopting the strategy of manufacturing and manufacturing for export in order to achieve a special type of goals at the lowest costs, whether in the case of certainty or risk, and this leaves the room clear for the decision maker to adopt any of the two strategies.
The Problem of Paradox and its Manifestations: A Study in the Titles of Najm Wali's Novels
Authors: Zainab Raad Ahmad Al-Hamdani  , Hussein Mirzaei  Nia
Published: September 2023

The irony pushes us to inquire about what is in the text of contradiction, irony, suspense, and other acts of paradox, as well as a departure from what is logical, or familiar, that attracts the attention of the addressee, and this is what drives us to introspect the text and interrogate it in order to get to know the intended product of the text or its real or metaphorical intent. On the other hand, the irony is more in the literary text than in the scientific texts. Therefore, critics add the word literature to it in their definition.

 As it is represented by the paradox, we will seek to study the paradox of the title and the problematic that it may pose as the beginning of the text, and it expresses to us what is in the title of semantic overlap and existential contradiction or implicit (non-declared) with the main text or even a reference to it. From this point of view, we note that Najm Wali, as one of the most prominent Iraqi novelists who seeks to present a different and heterogeneous literature and benefits from the feature _Grebe_, especially the paradox, used titles for his novels that bear the characteristic of his paradoxes in most of them. In this study, we aim to analyze what is in these titles of irony in all its forms, based on the descriptive analytical approach. Through the following two axes:

A: The theoretical dimension: This is an affirmation of what is related to the literary paradox, the paradox of the title, and the star of Wali in terms of definition, definition, and analysis.

B:  The logical dimension: This is concerned with applying literary irony to Najm Wali’s titles, such as: “The Hill of Lahm,” “The War in the Tarab Neighborhood,” “The Picture of Joseph,” and “A Place Called Kumait.”

  One of the results obtained by this study is that Najm Wali used the technique of title paradox, as a desire to draw the attention of the recipient to what is going on in his Iraqi society from the bitter reality, and on the other hand, he tried to reconcile the title and the cover, and to employ irony in all its forms with the main text for the same goal as well.
Topic Management in Selected Dementia Patients' Speeches: A Clinical Discourse Analysis Study
Authors: Maha Salim Jasim  , Rufaidah Kamal Abdulmajeed
Published: September 2023

Topic management is the awareness of how speakers deal with initiating, developing, changing, and ending a topic and how they fix the relationship when a misunderstanding occurs. It is such an important unit of conversation as it includes the transition from one strategy to the other to be accomplished in a systematic and orderly manner. These strategies are impaired in dementia patients thus lead to communication breakdown. This study aims at detecting the dementia patients' topic management strategies in selected speeches and answering the questions of which of these strategies are fully or partially detected in these speeches. The researchers use a qualitative method to examine the speeches of those patients and they adopt an eclectic model including the four strategies of topic management; they are: initiating of (Button & Casey, 1985), developing of (Leo & Thomas, 1998), changing of (Greatbach, 1986), and ending the topic of (Heydon, 2005). According to the findings of the study, patients with dementia are capable of developing conversational topics, but they are unable to initiate, change, or end the topics.
Dissimulation and hypocrisy in religious teachings by emphasis on Friqin Interpretations (replying claims on equaling dissimulation and hypocrisy)
Authors: Mozaffari Zaynab , Shakoori Hassan
Published: September 2023

Abstract Dissimulation is a common rational practice among people for which one can find many instances in Islam history. Dissimulation is a shield to save Muslims’ life which is always recommended by Ahl Al-Bayt. In present research, the opinions of Friqin’s (sects’) scientists on dissimulation are studied in a descriptive – analytical and comparative approach and its semantic differences with hypocrisy are clarified. To share Friqin’s views, the legitimacy of dreading dissimulation is used as a lingual agreement in the time of Muslims’ weakness. Dissimulation uniqueness in such cases has yielded to decline dissimulation status in the level of personal positioning in the time of feeling danger. Hence, in addition to the reason of “emergence”, Shiite scientists have mentioned “the necessity and reaching the most important expedience” as the reason of dissimulation. It has caused that Shiite is accused of hypocrisy. In present paper, by studying the concept of dissimulation and hypocrisy and clarifying its Holy Quran implications, one can conclude that their impacts, outcomes, goals and motives are separated and one can consider dissimulation equal with hypocrisy and accuse Shiite of hypocrisy.
The Effect of Language Competence on the Functions of English-Arabic Code-Switching among Iraqi Students
Authors: Albanon Raed
Published: September 2023

The current study investigates the bilingual phenomenon of codeswitching by Iraqi Arabic students at the University of Memphis. Casual topics of conversations by three participants, selected purposively with varying competence of English and Arabic, were recorded. Notes were taken to analyze why and when speakers codeswitch from English to Arabic and vice versa. In light of the models proposed by Auer (2002) and Appel and Muysken (2006), the study attempts to examine the effect of competence of any of the languages spoken on the variety of functions and direction of code-switching. In addition to the functions established by the aforementioned models, it is found that bilinguals generally often code-switch to the language of better competence to change subject, exclude other speakers, or show solidarity. Meanwhile, bilinguals may switch to the language of less competence to communicate humoristic gestures, among other purposes.

ان موضوع تغير الجنس من المواضيع المستحدثة التي كانت نتاج التطور الطبي وتطور العمليات الجراحية، وكذلك نتاج شعور بعض الأشخاص بانتمائهم للجنس الاخر وعدم قبول جنسه الحالي لأسباب بيولوجية ونفسيه، لذلك يسعون الى تغيير جنسهم الى الجنس الذي يرغب فيه، ويكون التغيير اما من ذكر الى انثى او العكس، ويكون كذلك بأجراء عمليات جراحية حيث يتم استئصال الأعضاء التناسلية وتبديلها الى أعضاء التناسلية الخاصة بالجنس الذي يرغب فيه، وكذلك إعطائه هرمونات الخاصة بالجنس الذي تحول له، وكل ذلك يكون له اثار تترتب على هذا التغيير، ومن ضمن هذه الاثار هو عقد الزواج، حيث اذا كان هناك زواج صحيح وقائم سوف يتأثر هذا الزواج بعملية تغيير الجنس، حيث أذا قام الزوج بتغيير جنسه الى انثى في هذه الحالة تنطبق علية المثلية ولا يمكن ان نتصور بقاء العلاقة الزوجية في مثل هذه الحالة، وكذلك الحال بالنسبة للزوجة عنده اجراء عملية تغيير الجنس لا يمكن ان نتصور أيضًا بقاء العلاقة الزوجية، وتترتب على هذه الحالة اثار مثل نفقة الحضانة وغيرها، لذا نحاول في هذا المقام ان نسلط الضوء على هذه الاثار التي تترتب نتيجة تغيير الجنس، من خلال النظر الى مفهوم هذا التغيير ومدى مشروعيته في الفقه الإسلامي، ومدى تأثيره ايضًا على عقد الزواج.
مسؤولية المحجورين في فقه المذهبين - دراسة تطبيقية
Authors: ايمن ازاده , حبيبي عبد الله , جوانمرد زاده عبد الباري
Published: September 2023

إنّ المحجور في الشرع هو الذي قد منع عن التصرّف في ماله. إنّ الأسباب التي تبرّر المسؤولية المدنية للمحجور في الفقه والقانون الإسلامي وتؤكد علي ضرورة التعويض عنها يتم التعبير عنها في الغالب في شكل قواعد فقهية منها: «قاعدة الضمان، وقاعدة الكبرياء، وقاعدة الضياع والتسبيب، وقاعدة عدم الضرر» ولكن قبل ذلك، يجب تحديد نطاق الحجر وأسبابه. إنّ أسباب الحجر بحسب قول الفقهاء الإمامية هي: الصغر، والسفه، والجنون، والمرض الموت والإفلاس وغير ذلك وهي تختلف قليلاً عن فقه المذاهب الأربعة حيث لا يعتبر أبو حنيفة السفه سبباً من أسباب الحجر والحنابلة بالإضافة إلى الأسباب السابقة يعتبرون الزوجة محجورة تماماً عن امتلاك أكثر من الثلث. ولإزالة الحجر اعتبر الفقهاء الإمامية شرطي النضج والنمو ضروريين، واتفق فقهاء الإمامية وفقهاء السنة على هذه المسألة ولكن الشافعي يعتبر النموّ إصلاحاً للملكية والدين. يهدف هذا البحث إلي دراسة مقارنة لآراء علماء السنة والشيعة حول مسؤولية المحجورين، وقد جمعت المعلومات وتمّ تحليلها بطريقة وصفية تحليلية. وقد استخلصت النتائج أنّ هناك نظرية مشتركة في مسؤولية المحجورين بين المذاهب الخمس (الحنفية والشافعية والمالكية والحنبلية والشيعة الجعفرية) بشكل عام وهناك في التفاصيل وبعض الحالات يوجد خلافاً فقط ممّا أدّي إلي الخلاف في الأحكام الدينية.

Published: October 2023

Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major health concern and the top cause of death in Bangladesh. Similar to other South Asian nations, Bangladeshis are highly susceptible to CHD, with early onset and severe progression. The exact pathophysiology remains unclear, but genetics, metabolic syndrome, and traditional risk factors are significant contributors. Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to compare the risk factors and coronary heart disease severity in male patients between 25-39 and 40-70 years. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study took place in the Cardiology Department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh, spanning from September to December 2013. It involved 166 male CHD patients aged 25-70. Group A comprised 83 patients aged 25-39, while Group B consisted of 83 patients aged 40-70, selected purposively. Results: The mean age of all participants was 43.6±10.6 years. In both groups, most patients had stable angina (Group A: 80%, Group B: 78%). Group A had 70% smokers, 34% with hypertension, and 30% with a family history of IHD, overweight/obesity, and impaired fasting glucose (IFG). In contrast, Group B had 48% hypertensive patients, with 45% smokers, 39% IFG, 31% overweight/obesity, 29% diabetes, and 12% family history of IHD. Vessel involvement was evenly distributed in Group A, while in Group B, 46% had triple vessel involvement. Conclusion: Among coronary heart disease patients aged 25-39 years, the smoking rate is higher, while diabetes prevalence is lower compared to the 40-70 year’s age group. Conversely, in the 40-70-year-old patient group, there is a higher incidence of hypertension, double vessel diseases, and triple vessel diseases compared to the younger group.
Managing Vitamin B12 deficiency: A Comprehensive Guide
Authors: Abdellatif Karim , Jubory Mohammed Al-
Published: October 2023

Vitamin B12 represents a group of water soluble vitamin which is necessary for the production of red blood cells and other functions such as DNA synthesis and neurologic functions. Cyanocobalamin is a man-made form of vitamin B12 used to prevent and treat low blood levels of vitamin B12. Most people receive enough vitamin B12 from their diet. However serious vitamin B12 deficiency in some cases may result in a low number of red blood cells (anemia), stomach/intestine problems and permanent nerve damage. B12 deficiency could be seen in certain health conditions such as intestinal/stomach problems, poor nutrition, cancer, HIV infection, pregnancy, old age, alcoholism and in people who follow a strict vegetarian (vegan) diet. Accordingly early diagnosis and treatment of vitamin B12 deficiency is important to avoid any serious health problems. The diagnosis of vitamin B12 deficiency includes both clinical assessment and laboratory tests to ensure an accurate diagnosis and treatment afterward.

Authors: S Dere , OA Agbolade , SA Oyetunji , JO Babatola
Published: October 2023

Water Pipeline systems are critical infrastructure for the delivery of safe and reliable water to communities. However, these systems are vulnerable to leaks, bursts, and other failures that can lead to water loss, property damage, and disruptions in service. One key factor in the health and longevity of water pipeline systems is the maintenance of proper pressure levels. Monitoring pressure in water pipelines is essential for ensuring that the system is functioning properly, and for identifying potential issues before they become major problems. The development of IoT technology has opened new possibilities for monitoring water pipeline pressure. IoT devices can be designed to collect and transmit pressure data wirelessly, eliminating the need for manual data collection and allowing for real-time monitoring and early warning systems. This study aims to develop an IoT monitoring device for pressure rate profiling in water pipeline systems. The device utilized pressure sensor and GSM module to collect and transmit pressure data in real-time to a cloud-based data management system. Through laboratory experimentation, the developed monitoring system in this study was able to both detect and localize leakages with the possibility of monitoring the leakage over a mobile application. The device also exhibits an average pressure variation of 7.7 KPA which indicates a high consistency.

Pthiriasis Palpebrarum: A Rare Case of Eyelash Infestation

We present a case of Pthiriasis palpebrarum, an eyelid infestation caused by Pthiriasis pubis. The report centers around a 38-year-old male who sought medical attention for multiple symptoms, including a sensation of lid heaviness, pain, and pruritus localized to the left eye. On slit lamp examination left eyelid and lashes were inundated with lice and nits. The patient was treated with anti-lice shampoo, anti-allergic drops, anti-allergic tablet and topical antibiotic ointment in combination with steroids. One week later, all lashes and eye brows were clean, with a few dead lice eggs; that were extracted with forceps on slit lamp. While Pthiriasis palpebrarum is acknowledged as an infrequent cause of blepharo conjunctivitis, our case underscores the potential for this condition to manifest as an isolated eyelid infestation. Importantly, the similarities it shares with lid eczema and blepharitis underscore the diagnostic challenges that may arise in clinical practice.

Representasi Kesetaraan Gender Pada Iklan Pil Kb Andalan Versi Dapur Di Televisi
Authors: Muhammad Abdul Ghani  , Rohmiati
Published: September 2023

This article reports on the results of research on the representation of gender equality in advertising

and the meaning that is built around Andalan family planning pill products. The advertisement

in question is the Kitchen Version of the aforementioned pill products on the television, examined

and discussed using Roland Barthes’s semiotic analysis method. An interview with the Creative

Director of the advertisement also contributes to the findings of this research. The results of the

study illustrate that gender equality in a family is represented by the participation of the husband

in various activities in the kitchen with his wife, the division of domestic work, and a dialogue that

gives women the agency to make the decision to postpone pregnancy. The myth of the kitchen as

an arena for women’s work has shifted to that in which even men can take part. The representation

of gender equality and the depiction of a harmonious atmosphere between husband and wife as

a happy family imply the association of birth control products to the provision of happiness with

the increasingly equal role of women

Konstruksi Kecantikan Perempuan Pada Feature How To Do Di Kanal Beauty Fimela.Com
Authors: Siti Nawiroh  , Rohmadtika Dita
Published: September 2023

This study aims to examine the construction of women’s beauty and how existentialist feminists observe the how-to-do feature on the beauty channel Fimela.com. This article utilizes social semiotics as explained by M.A.K Halliday. The beauty construction formed by Fimela.com refers to a healthy, clean, fresh body, shining eyes, smooth clean face, free of black spots and has small pores, glowing face, no eye bags and acne scars. Beauty can be obtained in three ways: naturally, through makeup, and through instant methods. In respect of existentialist feminism, women have not yet realized their right to be free and are still objects of patriarchy. Narcissism appears in features with many women considering physical beauty important to be recognized in the public sphere. Beauty care is very important for women. This is illustrated from the discourse field: discussing beauty tips and tricks, beauty steps achieved instantly and naturally through makeup. Involvement of discourse: resource persons with domestic or international credentials who have high credibility in their fields, are intelligent, and have positive inspiration for readers. Means of discourse: there are terms of cosmetology and medical terms using semi-formal language.
