The phenomenon of internal displacement has become a significant issue in Nigeria due to various factors such as conflict, violence, natural disasters, and socio-economic challenges. The rights of IDPs are crucial for ensuring their protection, dignity, and access to basic necessities during their displacement. This study focuses on exploring the rights of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Nigeria. The research aims to shed light on the legal frameworks, policies, and practical measures in place to protect and promote the rights of IDPs in Nigeria. The findings of the research reveal both achievements and challenges in ensuring the rights of IDPs in Nigeria. While the Nigerian government has taken steps to address the issue through the adoption of relevant legislation and the establishment of institutional frameworks, significant gaps persist in the implementation and enforcement of these measures. IDPs continue to face various human rights violations, including inadequate access to basic necessities such as shelter, healthcare, education, and livelihood opportunities. Furthermore, the research highlights the role of non-state actors, including civil society organizations and humanitarian agencies, in supporting and advocating for the rights of IDPs. These actors play a crucial role in filling the gaps left by the government and providing assistance and protection to IDPs in Nigeria. The study concludes with a set of recommendations aimed at enhancing the protection and fulfillment of the rights of IDPs in Nigeria. These recommendations encompass legal reforms, strengthening institutional mechanisms, increasing resource allocation, and promoting collaboration between the government, civil society, and international partners. By shedding light on the rights of IDPs in Nigeria, this research contributes to the existing body of knowledge on internal displacement and human rights. It provides valuable insights for policymakers, humanitarian actors, and researchers working towards improving the conditions and rights of IDPs, ultimately aiming for the realization of durable solutions for this vulnerable population.

Companies must adapt to changing fields and adopt appropriate strategies to maintain profitability, such as cost restructuring, diversification of their products or services, and investment in innovation and technology. Variable profitability is used as a measure of a company's performance against stock prices. This study aims to examine the effect of profitability ratio on stock price in food and beverage sub-sector companies listed on the IDX. There are four variables of the profitability ratio, namely ROA, ROE, EPS and NPM. Researchers chose food and beverage companies as the sample studied because this sub-sector company is a company that has a wide scope and is also stable in the face of economic changes. Researchers are interested in conducting research to find out whether there is an effect of profitability on stock prices in food and beverage companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This type of research is quantitative research with regression method. The research was conducted on food and beverage sub-sector companies listed on the IDX from 2020 to 2022. In data analysis, hypothesis testing was carried out Multiple linear regression analysis. T-Stat is used to test the statistical significance of the regression coefficient, while P-value is used to test the overall significance. All independent variables have a significant T-Stat (more than 1.96) and a P-value lower than 0.05, except for the EPS variable which has a P-value of 0.088 (higher than 0.05). This shows that ROA, ROE, and NPM significantly affect the stock price, while EPS does not significantly affect the stock.

Authors: Bashir Muktar , Shatambaya Ibrahim Baba
Published: November 2023

Media generally and broadcast media in particular are central to the survival and sustainability of any democratic dispensation like that of Nigeria. Democracy world over cannot function effectively without information sharing and this is done through the media. The Nigerian media is made up of print, electronic and the newly social media whose constitutional role is to inform, educate and entertain the general public fairly. Therefore, during any electioneering contest, the media is employed to canvass for votes by different parties against their opponents. This paper examines the role of the broadcast media during the 2015 and 2019 presidential elections in Nigeria, the study is a comparative one. Secondary source of data that included relevant books, articles, pamphlet etc. were utilized in the study. It was found that, the coverage by public stations during the 2015 presidential election was not fair to the opposition parties, since the outfit was dancing to the tune of the ruling party against other contenders. The private stations on the same elections covered the exercise more fairly and objectively by given a level playing ground for all parties to canvass for votes freely without any restriction. On the other hand, the coverage of the 2019 presidential election by both public and private stations was fairer and objective to both parties. It is therefore, recommended that, broadcast media should not serve as the mouthpiece of any political party. It should play it constitutional role of being the watch dog of the society by educating and informing the public especially during elections fairly to elect the candidate of their choice.

Authors: Eyetan T. , Ozabor F.
Published: November 2023

Examined herein are the effects of oil spills on soil physicochemical characteristics in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Experimental research design was adopted for the study. Soil samples were collected from oil imparted areas and compared with FEPA soil quality standards and control site. Using quadrat sampling technique five (5) oil impacted sites were selected for the experiment. The sites were picked purposively following the researchers’ knowledge of oil spill issues in the area hitherto. Soil samples were collected at depths of 0-15cm and 15-30cm respectively and sent to the lab, to check for the physicochemical properties. Multiple regression and ANOVA statistics were used to test the hypotheses. Analysis of soil samples showed that soils of Port Harcourt metropolis were sandy-loamy and very acidic with pH that ranged between 2-3.5. Cation Exchange Capacity, magnesium, potassium, nitrogen, calcium, and organic carbon content were very low and could not support agriculture. The regression model showed that, oil spillage has significant effect on the physicochemical content of soils in Port Harcourt at p<0.05 (R-.870; r2 .757). There was statistically significant difference in the spatiality of physicochemical characteristics of soils in the area. Prevention of further spills, phytoremediation and holistic agricultural planning are among the solutions advanced in the study.

Sedimentology and Diagenetic Evolution of Maastrichtian Fugar Sandstone, Western Flanks of Anambra Basin, Nigeria
Authors: Opatola Abraham. O. , Akosile Abiola , Ifarajimi William T.
Published: November 2023

Diagenetic studies unravel the different diagenetic processes a rock has been subjected to and this plays an important role in the formation of sedimentary rocks, therefore the detailed study of the sedimentology and diagenetic evolution of the Fugar Sandstone depicts the diagenetic history and the paragenetic sequence of the cements present. The Fugar sandstone is an extension of the Upper Cretaceous Ajali Sandstone unit of the Anambra Basin in South western Nigeria and this study was aimed at understanding the sedimentological and petrographical characteristics of the sandstone with a view to model the sandstone diagenesis. The field study and granulometric analysis results reveals that the sandstones are unconsolidated, friable, fine to medium-coarse grained, poorly sorted, planar and herringbone cross-bedded and exhibits a repeated succession of fining upward cycles with the inferred depositional environment of fluvial to marginal-marine. The samples were analyzed using a range of techniques: X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence and Optical microscope which shows that the sandstone is quartz arenite with an average of 95% quartz consisting of subangular to subrounded grains and this implies that the sandstone is mineralogically matured but texturally immature. Detailed diagenetic study using thin section petrography reveals that the rocks have undergone different diagenetic processes; compaction, cementation, dissolution, alteration and replacement, and the paragenetic order of the cementing minerals were from authigenic quartz which occurs as quartz overgrowth, clay and then Iron oxides which serves as the predominant mineral cements in the rocks.
Tidal Modulated Shoreface Facies in Eocene Agbada Formation, Niger Delta Basin, Nigeria
Authors: Opatola Abraham. O. , Alli Saheed A.
Published: November 2023

Tidal influence shoreface are shoreface deposit generated by wave induced tidal action. The extent of the tidal impact from lower to upper shorefaces depend mostly on the tidal range thereby controlling the impact of different shoreline wave action on sediment distribution across shorefaces. The Tidally influenced shoreface sediment display wave generated structure, however the structure are strongly associated with tidal generated structures and trace fossil consistent with tidal depositional setting. Shoreface successions in Titun well display a wide range of variability, largely restricted to the lower and middle shoreface intervals. This variation was controlled by relative wave dominance and intermittent pulsating nature of associated tidal bed deposition. The successions were subdivided into three end members, although a complete gradation between them exists. High energy shoreface consist almost entirely of erosively based amalgamated tide and wave beds with minimal bioturbation. Intermediate energy shoreface consist of stacked laminated to burrowed intervals, recording repeated erosive storm bed emplacement, followed by opportunistic colonization, and commonly overprinted by resident fairweather burrowing. Weakly storm-affected low energy shorefaces typically show intense bioturbation with minimal preservation of high energy beds. Based on the association of the facies, facies vertical build-up patterns, sedimentary structures and trace fossil content, the T1 sands in Titun well are interpreted as a prograding tidally influence shoreface deposit. This interpretation is supported by presence of tide generated structures and marine trace fossil, due to the prevalence of several tidal imprint as suggested by several mud drapes and flasers, couplets of sands and shale’s in heterolithic sequences, and bidirectional current structures (herringbone cross stratification), a tidally influence shoreface geological model is suggested for deposit.

Published: November 2023

The study evaluated the effect of industrial waste on soil pollution in Asaba, Delta State. The procedure adopted the ex post facto research model comprising a comprehensive range of simultaneous measures of industrial waste collection and soil quality in the selected industrial areas in Asaba. Industries in Asaba were selected based on the nature and type of industrial waste generated at random. Six existing industrial locations in Asaba were selected. The collected soil samples were used to investigate the soil pH, Zinc, Lead, Chromium, Silver and Copper concentration levels of the soils. Multiple regression was used to ascertain the effect of industrial waste on the soil in Asaba. 188071 Kg of industrial waste containing flammable, corrosive and toxic substances were generated at industrial landfills in Asaba. The industrial waste generated exceeds WHO standards. This is an implication that the industrial waste generated in Asaba is hazardous. The study revealed that most soils in industrial dumpsites are acidic and this is a reflection of the industrial waste's corrosive ability. Soils in the industrial dump sites are very high in Zinc, lead and chromium contents. Asaba Expressway 2 industrial dump sites have the highest amount of zinc and lead content, while Summit Junction industrial dump site has the highest content of silver. At a P<0.05 significance level, the calculated F value is 3.11 while the critical table value is 41.95. Thus, the toxicity in the soils in Asaba is significantly dependent on the chemical (Zinc, lead and Chromium) properties of industrial waste generation. Furthermore, as Zinc, lead and Chromium properties in industrial waste increase, the toxicity of the soil increases as well. Thus polluting the soils in Asaba industrial areas. The results obtained from this study portrayed that the Zero waste approach would be the recommended choice for sustainable waste management.

Published: November 2023

The increase in regional head candidates was held in 2015. There were 4 single candidates. In 2017, there were 9 single candidates; in 2018, there were 16 single candidate pairs; for the 2020 regional elections, there was an increase to 25. The phenomenon of single candidates in the Pilkada and the increasing trend of each provincial head election is increasingly attractive to be studied more deeply. This research uses a qualitative approach to analysis by emphasizing process and meaning. Various literature studies related to research on implementing single candidates in simultaneous regional elections from 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2020. Some of the factors of a single candidate for the regional head are the failure of political parties in the cadre process, the high cost of political dowries, the legitimacy of the law, and the difficulty of the requirements for independent candidates to run for regional head elections. The phenomenon of a single candidate in the democratic system in Indonesia certainly attracts the attention of academics, politicians, and the public to study and follow the development process of the local democratic system. The presence of independent candidates will provide an alternative solution to regions in regional head elections that do not have competitors offered by political parties.

VIETNAMESE SECONDARY TEACHERS’ RESPONSES TO EMERGENCY ONLINE TEACHING
Authors: Vo Thi Kim Anh
Published: November 2023

Early 2020 witnessed one of the greatest pandemics in the history of human beings. All aspects of life have changed since then. In Vietnam, due to the unexpected pandemic, most schools nationwide have been occasionally closed for up to four months, leading teachers to a new way of teaching: online teaching. This study aimed at investigating how Vietnamese secondary teachers reacted to such a sudden change. The study employed sequential explanatory mixed method with the survey and the in-depth interview as the main instruments. The findings of the study revealed that Vietnamese secondary teachers used a mass variety of ways to maintain their teaching from sending exercises through Zalo and email to online meetings. In light of teachers’ view, their remote teaching was not very effective due to a lack of skills and knowledge. It was also found that secondary teachers of English in Vietnam need pedagogical, financial support, and resources to better implement their online teaching. The study recommends that the peer mentoring method and an immediate change in pre-service teacher education should be conducted as an effective way to help teachers overcome their challenges in the new teaching context. In addition, instant financial help from the government should be provided.

Analyzing Modality Expressions as Hedges in English Discourse: A Corpus-based Approach
Authors: Huu Tran Phuc
Published: November 2023

This paper aims at investigating the communicative purpose of different forms of hedges in English discourse under the umbrella of corpus-based analysis. Hedges are expressions showing the speakerâ€™s tentativeness, indirectness and modality in speech communication. The two research corpora of British and American ambassadorial speeches are compiled to provide the data source and the software package of Wordsmith 5.0 is used to achieve statistical data for a comparative analysis of hedges in the research corpora. The results of this research show that most hedges occurring in ambassadorial speeches are in patterns with modal lexical verbs, modal adjectives and modal adverbs as intensifiers and downtoners. Hedges in patterns with modal lexical verbs and modal adjectives occur with higher frequency in the American ambassadorial corpus while more hedges with modal adverbs as intensifiers and downtoners are found in the British ambassadorial corpus. As such, it can be claimed from the data analysis in this research that American ambassadors appear to be more personal and subjective, whereas British ambassadors seem to be more tentative and objective in the use of modality expressions as hedges in their speech delivery.

Authors: James Cynthia C.
Published: November 2023

Narrative writing is any kind of writing that recounts a story. While the love of stories among children is innate, getting them to put the stories down in writing can be perceived as a daunting task, especially when the task is associated with a high-stake test. The use of story prompts through the integration of technology and writing pedagogy can make this task less daunting for children. This paper aims to present findings based on a project involving 31 Year 6 students in one suburban primary school. The strategy was to engage digital-native children in story-creating process through the use of blog and mobile apps like WhatsApp and editing software for images, videos and sounds. Students used mobile devices to create a story prompt (an image, a video or a sound clip) for writing a story. The students used the story prompt to stimulate ideas about the setting, the characters, the mood and the plot of a story. The stories and the story prompts were shared on the class blog and the class WhatsApp group. The studentsâ€™ personal reflections in their reflective journals demonstrate the positive effects story prompts have on reluctant writersâ€™ attitudes towards narrative writing. The studentsâ€™ scores in pre-test, progress test and post-test also suggest that story prompts have a role to play in improving the studentsâ€™ performance in narrative writing tests.

1.er Premio Revista Estudios Financieros 1995.Modalidad: Recursos Humanos.
La aceleración de la evolución tecnológica y social es sin duda una de las características más distintivas de nuestro tiempo. En el ámbito del trabajo, esta incidencia apunta hacia un cambio del modelo tradicional del oficio al modelo de las capacidades en el contexto de una sociedad postindustrial caracterizada por la información. Significa esto que los oficios evolucionan con rapidez exigiendo la permanente adaptación del oficial u operario, no tanto desde su especialización, sino desde la capacidad para integrar diferentes campos de conocimiento. Existe, por lo tanto, una necesidad permanente de asimilación de nuevas tecnologías, procesos de trabajo y procedimientos de gestión. En este contexto, el valor teórico de la formación no se pone en duda. La formación debe ser un recurso primordial de la organización para adaptarse con agilidad y mantener su posicionamiento competitivo.
Desde esta perspectiva, la formación es un elemento estratégico para las empresas. De hecho, en reiteradas ocasiones la importancia de la formación se ha puesto de manifiesto como uno de los pilares para una mayor competitividad de la economía europea y, por supuesto, española. Algunas iniciativas que respaldan lo dicho son los ambiciosos programas de financiación por parte de la Unión Europea como FORCEM o Leonardo. Inmersos en este panorama, la calidad de la formación y un conocimiento empírico de su repercusión, son las claves para optimizar el beneficio de sus efectos.
Prevención de riesgos laborales (Ley 31/1995): los servicios de prevención
Authors: Martínez Fenoll José Salvador
Published: November 2023

Bajo el título «Servicios de Prevención» el Capítulo IV de la Ley 31/1995, de 8 de noviembre, de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales (LPRL en adelante) recoge y regula a través de tres artículos dichos servicios preventivos con el siguiente contenido:
A la protección y prevención de riesgos profesionales se refiere el artículo 30; a los Servicios de Prevención propiamente dichos, el artículo 31; mientras que el artículo 32 hace referencia a la actuación preventiva de las Mutuas de Accidentes y Enfermedades Profesionales.
Puede calificarse el texto legal que nos ocupa con carácter general como un evidente paso adelante en el terreno de la seguridad, higiene y prevención de la salud y de los riesgos laborales, puesto que, de alguna manera, se configura por primera vez un marco general y homogéneo en la que podría desarrollarse y avanzar esta materia en nuestro Derecho interno, pudiéndose determinar las distintas acciones preventivas de una forma coherente con las directrices comunitarias en el deseo de alcanzar, progresivamente, el objetivo de una conjunción y armonización paulatina de las condiciones de trabajo en los diferentes países Europeos, poniéndose término, como señala la Exposición de Motivos del texto normativo, a la falta de visión unitaria en la política de prevención de riesgos laborales propia de la dispersión normativa vigente, tan tradicional en nuestro Derecho interno, fruto, sin duda, de la torpe acumulación en el tiempo de normas de muy diverso rango y orientación, eliminándose, igualmente, todas las normas y preceptos desfasados, caducos y trasnochados de nuestras disposiciones legales sobre la materia, pretendiéndose por el nuevo texto actualizar las normas y preceptos legales aprovechables y regular situaciones nuevas que no se contemplaban con anterioridad.
La libertad sindical de los funcionarios públicos a la luz de la doctrina del Tribunal Constitucional
Authors: Vélez Toro Antonio José
Published: November 2023

Si partimos de conceptuar la libertad sindical como el derecho fundamental de los trabajadores a agruparse establemente para participar en la ordenación de las relaciones productivas, hemos de aceptar que sean titulares del derecho a los funcionarios y servidores de las Administraciones Públicas.
El movimiento sindicalista en el sector público surge por la conjunción de dos factores. De un lado, la progresiva transformación de las condiciones sociales de los funcionarios, y, de otro, la extensión de la actividad estatal hacia el sector de los servicios públicos, de la industria y de la economía.
El artículo 28.1 de la Constitución Española proclama el derecho de libertad sindical en los términos que siguen: «todos tienen derecho a sindicarse libremente. La ley podrá limitar o exceptuar el ejercicio de este derecho a las fuerzas o institutos armados o a los demás cuerpos sometidos a disciplina militar y regulará las peculiaridades de su ejercicio para los funcionarios públicos. La libertad sindical comprende el derecho a fundar sindicatos y a afiliarse al de su elección, así como el derecho de los sindicatos a formar confederaciones y a fundar organizaciones sindicales internacionales o afiliarse a las mismas. Nadie podrá ser obligado a afiliarse a un sindicato».

En el presente trabajo, tras presentar los objetivos y elementos clave de una política retributiva como herramienta en la gestión de Recursos Humanos, nos proponemos mostrar un modelo retributivo, para puestos ejecutivos, que integra en un paquete global -con parte fija y parte variable- el valor del Puesto, el nivel de Competencias individuales y el grado de cumplimiento de los Objetivos.
El concepto de Competencia cuenta ya con una larga historia. Si bien el término ha sido popularizado en la literatura especializada sobre todo a partir de la publicación en 1982 de R. Boyatzis, The Competent Manager. Boyatzis define la Competencia como una «característica del individuo que influye significativamente en su rendimiento en el trabajo», y que, por tanto, permite diferenciar a las personas más eficaces de las menos eficaces.
Si analizamos la definición, podemos observar que conceptos muy similares se habían utilizado anteriormente, expresados en otros términos: las clásicas «variables predictivas» empleadas tradicionalmente en los modelos para selección de personal, los «incidentes críticos» (Flanagan, 1955), los conceptos subyacentes a diversas técnicas como las «escalas conductuales», BARS (Smith y Kendall, 1963), o la «Behavioral Event Interview» (McClelland y Dayley, 1972). A McClelland y su equipo se le atribuye normalmente el mayor mérito en el desarrollo de este concepto.
La seguridad y salud laboral en las contratas y subcontratas de obras y servicios (obligaciones y responsabilidades)

La descentralización de la actividad productiva constituye, hoy en día, uno de los fenómenos característicos de la transformación del funcionamiento de las empresas en las sociedades industrializadas.
En menos de 50 años se ha pasado desde la concepción de la empresa como un ente casi autosuficiente a la concepción actual, en la que la ejecución de las obras o servicios se efectúa por empresas, e incluso uniones temporales de empresas, que tienen una plantilla muy reducida pero que, en cambio, tienen contratos con múltiples empresas, que son las que aportan la maquinaria, útiles y herramientas en la mayoría de los casos y la fuerza del trabajo de sus empleados para la ejecución material del trabajo.
En otros casos la empresa ha decidido que parte de los cometidos que le son propios para su normal funcionamiento no los ejecute su personal, sino que son contratados a otras empresas (por ejemplo, mantenimiento y limpieza de instalaciones y locales).
Customers’ perceptions of service delivery by trade and investment KwaZulu-Natal in the greater Durban area

This study aims to evaluate the perceptions of customers regarding the service delivery of Trade and Investment KwaZulu-Natal. Several research studies on service quality have resulted in positive outcomes for organisations which have proven that services can be improved upon, revenues can be increased, customer retention can be maintained, and this can result in attracting new customers through positive word-of-mouth outreach. This research unravelled a level of awareness as identified by the Corporate Strategy Plan compiled by Sigma International 2019 of the services offered by Trade and Investment KwaZulu-Natal (TIKZN). The gaps that highlighted the perceptions and expectations created were the motivation behind this study, which examined the effect of service delivery from a sample size of 400 businesses locally within Central Durban, Amanzimtoti, Umhlanga, Westville and Morningside, as well as some of the businesses that lie on the outskirts of the greater Durban area. A quantitative approach was adopted in this study and data was gathered through questionnaires. The study also used the probability cluster sampling technique to draw a sample from the Trade and Investment KwaZulu-Natal’s database. Customer perception and expectations of service quality were measured using the SERVQUAL instrument, which consists of five dimensions: reliability, tangibles, responsiveness, empathy, and assurance. Gap analysis was used to evaluate gaps in terms of the quality of services delivered. The data collection procedure ensured that ethical considerations were followed in collecting data from the respondents. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse data by means of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS version 27®). The findings of this study using SERVQUAL illustrate that customer expectations were higher than perceptions across all five service quality dimensions. The results imply that customers were not happy with the level of service being delivered by Trade and Investment KwaZulu-Natal on each of the dimensions. Based on the findings of this study, recommendations have been proposed to close the gaps and ultimately improve service quality so that Trade and Investment KwaZulu-Natal is able to achieve customer satisfaction and improve service delivery. These findings of the study are limited to KZN and should not be generalised beyond this region. Therefore, it is recommended that future research investigate employeerelated aspects of service quality effectiveness, such as role stress, ambiguity, conflict and job satisfaction, as well as other customer-related service outcomes apart from perceived service quality.
