Published: August 2024

The recurrence of building collapses and resulting casualties is overwhelming in Lagos State as the state records the highest cases in recent times. This work used geophysical (Ground magnetic (GM) and Electrical resistivity imaging (ERI)) and geotechnical (Dynamic cone penetration test (DCPT)) methods in delineating the subsurface conditions for its competence in foundation structures. Ten profiles of 200 m ground magnetic data were collected at 2 m spacing likewise for Wenner arrays on each profile. DCPT data were collected at points 0 m, 50 m, 100 m,150 m, and 200m to the depth of 3 m on each of the profiles occupied by GM and ERI. The data obtained were processed and interpreted using RES2DINV software for ERI, Excel package for both Magnetic and DCPT. The ground magnetic results gives the minimum relative magnetic intensity as  -1689.78 nT representing possible fault/fractured zone and maximum value of 2943 nTindicating area of competence for foundation structure. ERI results gives a resistivity value ranging from 2 Ωm – 7602 Ωm depicting four zones of incompetent/sub-competent clay/sandy clay, moderately competent clayey sand, competent sand and highly competent lateritic sand. DCPT results is in the average range 11.20% to 39.87% representing Clay materials fairly competent for foundation structures, sand and well graded gravel that is competent for construction purposes. To prevent building collapsed in the study area, areas of incompetent materials should be excavated, refill and compact with lateritic sand before foundation is put in place.

জীবনস্মৃতিতে (১৯১২) রবীন্দ্রনাথ (১৮৬১-১৯৪১) লিখেছিলেন : লর্ড কর্জনের সময় দিল্লিদরবার সম্বন্ধে একটা গদ্যপ্রবন্ধ লিখিয়াছি – লর্ড লিটনের সময় লিখিয়াছিলাম পদ্যে। তখনকার ইংরেজ গবর্মেন্ট রুসিয়াকেই ভয় করিত, কিন্তু চৌদ্দপনেরো বছর বয়সের বালক কবির লেখনীকে ভয় করিত না। এইজন্য সেই কাব্যে বয়সোচিত উত্তেজনা প্রভূত পরিমাণে থাকা সত্ত্বেও তখনকার প্রধান সেনাপতি হইতে আরম্ভ করিয়া পুলিসের কর্তৃপক্ষ পর্যন্ত কেহ কিছুমাত্র বিচলিত হইবার লক্ষণ প্রকাশ করেন নাই। টাইম্‌স্‌ পত্রেও কোনো পত্রলেখক এই বালকের ধৃষ্টতার প্রতি শাসনকর্তাদের ঔদাসীন্যের উল্লেখ করিয়া বৃটিশ রাজত্বের স্থায়ীত্ব সম্বন্ধে গভীর নৈরাশ্য প্রকাশ করিয়া অত্যুষ্ণ দীর্ঘনিশ্বাস পরিত্যাগ করেন নাই৷

বঙ্গভঙ্গ-আন্দোলনের সময়ে রবীন্দ্রনাথ বেশি জড়িয়ে পড়েন জাতীয় শিক্ষা- আন্দোলনের সঙ্গে, অবশ্য দুই আন্দোলনের সঙ্গেই তাঁর সম্পর্ক হয়েছিল স্বল্পকালস্থায়ী। জাতীয় শিক্ষা পরিষদ পরিচালিত জাতীয় বিদ্যালয়ের (বেঙ্গল ন্যাশনাল কলেজ অ্যান্ড স্কুল) প্রথম অধ্যক্ষ ছিলেন অরবিন্দ ঘোষ (১৮৭২-১৯৫০)। পারিবারিক সূত্রেও রবীন্দ্রনাথ তাঁকে জানতেন। তিনি যখন ইংরেজি Bande Mataram পত্রিকার সম্পাদনভার গ্রহণ করেন (১৯০৬), তখন রবীন্দ্রনাথ পত্রিকাটির প্রশংসা করেছিলেন। এই পত্রিকায় ১৯০৭ সালের ২৭ জুন সংখ্যায় প্রকাশিত রচনা রাজদ্রোহমূলক বলে বিবেচিত হওয়ায় অরবিন্দের বিরুদ্ধে গ্রেপ্তারি পরোয়ানা জারি হয়। আদালতে আত্মসমর্পণ করে তিনি জামিনে মুক্তিলাভ করেন, তবে জাতীয় বিদ্যালয়ের অধ্যক্ষপদ ত্যাগ করেন। তাঁর উদ্দেশে এ-সময়ে রবীন্দ্রনাথ লেখেন 'নমস্কার' কবিতাটি [৭ ভাদ্র ১৩১৪/২৪ আগস্ট ১৯০৭] এবং তা বঙ্গদর্শন পত্রিকায় (আশ্বিন ১৩১৪) প্রকাশিত হয়। এর পরপরই শান্তিনিকেতনে গোয়েন্দা বাহিনীর লোকেরা হানা দেয়।

Published: August 2024

This study investigates how customer satisfaction influences loyalty within the Peruvian footwear sector. A mixed-methods approach of the Dexplis type was employed, combining the collection of quantitative data through a questionnaire administered to 350 consumers, and qualitative data obtained from 25 interviews, to explore how satisfaction affects emotions, intentions, and behaviours of consumers in this specific context. The findings reveal a significant association between satisfaction and loyalty, supported by a Rho coefficient of 0.872, and a multiple regression model showing 80.1% of the variability in loyalty decisions. Additionally, other factors such as innovation, shopping experience, and after-sales service were identified as having a substantial impact on customer loyalty. In summary, this article not only contributes to the theoretical understanding of the association between customer satisfaction and loyalty, but also offers practical implications for improving customer retention strategies in the Peruvian footwear industry, providing key insights for professionals in the sector in strategic decision-making and in designing more satisfactory and engaging shopping experiences.

Comparative Analysis of Democratic Systems in Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand
Authors: Cai Qinwen , Cai Qinwen
Published: August 2024

This paper analyses Cambodian, Laotian, and Thai democratic systems, emphasising specific political aspects and models of governance. Cambodia's budding democracy, shaped by its experience of dictatorial governance, is remarkably different from Lao's single-party communist regime. At a more complex level of democracy, Thailand, conversely, is a militarised civil administration huddled with stability in civil-military relations. Detailed analyses of political institutions, electoral systems, and civil liberties, among others, will reveal their strengths and weaknesses. The comprehensive literature review provides an understanding of how these regimes yield different outcomes regarding democracy, revealing some common challenges that bar their efforts to democratise and gain political stability. They indicate the huddles in achieving civil rights and freedoms for their populations. The study applies theories of democracy and authoritarian durability by examining political structures, voting procedures, and citizen freedoms. Other aspects explored in this paper include the effect of these political settings on regional peace and stability, including a more extensive view of Southeast Asian development. In addition, the factors that contribute to democratic governance, such as media freedom, are explored. The comparative analysis further focuses on the implications of efforts towards democracy in the region.
Complex and Multifaceted Nature of Cryptocurrency Markets: A Study to Understand its Time-Varying Volatility Dynamics
Authors: Agrawal Manali , Dias Rui , Irfan Mohammad , Galvão Rosa , Gonçalves Sidalina
Published: August 2024

Decentralised Finance (DeFi) provides a new way to perform complex financial transactions by exploiting blockchain's ability to maintain a decentralised ledger of transactions without being constrained by centralised systems or human intermediaries. DeFi provides alternative financial instruments that might lessen portfolio risk, especially given the erratic state of the financial markets today. This study analyses the association between the year of the coin in which it was introduced and the market capitalisation of the respective companies. Furthermore, the study also tries to understand the volatility associated with cryptocurrencies using EGARCH & GJR-GARCH models. The results reveal that market capitalisation is not similar for all three stages of the age of cryptocurrency. Also, negative news tends to impact Bitcoin more than positive news, and the volatility is persistent and long-lasting. Ethereum, BNB & Solana see more volatility from absolute past shocks; however, Tether exhibits low but persistent volatility as a stablecoin.
