CHRONICLES OF THE INDONESIAN NATIONAL ARMED FORCES (Tentara Nasional Indonesia) IN INDONESIAN POLITICAL AFFAIRS
Authors: ZORDI FURQAN ABDUL RAIS , SUMANTRI SISWO HADI , MADJID M. ADNAN
Published: November 2022

The Chronicles of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (Tentara Nasional Indonesia/TNI) can be traced back to its history, starting from the Pre-Proclamation Period, the Old Order (Orde Lama), the New Order (Orde Baru), and the Reformation. The influence of the armed forces in each era has its own characteristics in accordance with the pattern of leadership in its era. This study aims to find out the traces of the TNI's movement in Indonesian politics. The search was carried out using the literature review method with the aim of looking at the role of the TNI in national politics and the suitability of the TNI's participation in the practical political arena in Indonesia. The role and progress of the TNI in Indonesian politics cannot be separated from changes in the mindset of leaders and society as well as technological developments that occur from time to time. The transformation of the TNI's contribution, which was initially able to influence the economic, social and cultural sectors, has narrowed and is focused on the field of national defense. The results of the study also show that there has been a change in the political behavior of the TNI which tends to be neutral and focuses more on national defense.

The review takes into account findings of various authors related to this area of study. The findings report the cause and effect, including the loss of property and life over time immemorial as a result of human-elephant conflict alone. This short review focuses on the significance of the threat faced by both the people and elephants of the region of Assam particularly in the districts of Sonitpur, Tinsukia and Goalpara, thereby highlighting some strategies for sustainable relation between man and elephant for their co-existence.
HILL STREAM ICHTHYOFAUNAL DIVERSITY OF BAKSA DISTRICT ALONG THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER BETWEEN INDIA AND BHUTAN: ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE AND ANTHROPOGENIC THREATS
Authors: BARAL AYUSH , ALOM SAROWAR , MONDAL DEBOJIT
Published: November 2022

North-Eastern states are leaders in the diversity of indigenous species of economically important fish. Hill streams of this region inhabit ichthyofauna of broad importance. However, increased anthropogenic activity possess deleterious consequence. The goal of the study conducted from January 2021 to July 2022 was to document and report the ichthyofaunal diversity of the hill streams in the Baksa district of Assam, India, its economic importance as well as potential threats associated with it. A total of 3182 fishes classified into 39 species, 13 families, and 5 orders were documented. Cypriniformes is the dominant order (71.24%), followed by Perciformes (17.76%), Siluriformes (5.97%), Symbranchiformes (3.65%), and Beloniformes (1.38%). These hill streams inhabit endangered, vulnerable, near-threatened, lower-risk-near-threatened species (IUCN, CAMP, and ICAR). Diversity indices indicate that these streams are rich in evenly distributed ichthyofauna. However, the recent spike in riparian deforestation, illegal fishing, and tourism-related plastic garbage possess a serious threat to these hill-stream ecosystems and inhabiting fish fauna. The consequences of riparian deforestation are looming as a severe future issue. Conservation of this ecosystem has become an important call to take on.

Published: November 2022

This study aims to trace the kinship of the Lakor goat breed based on Paternal Linked using the Zinc Finger Protein-Y (ZFY) region on the Y-chromosome. This study began with non-invasive sampling (hair follicles) from 64 bucks (male individuals), followed by DNA extraction. The extracted DNA molecules are used as a template for amplification of the ZFY target region, with PCR and sequencing techniques. The PCR product of each target gene is sequenced to determine its nucleotide sequence. The molecular data of the target gene resulting from sequencing and DNA sequences obtained from the international database are aligned with the Clustal W program software present in MEGA version X. Phylogenetic analysis shows that the Lakor goat breed as monophyly above 90% bootstrap homology, and two haplotypes i.e C. aegagrus haplotype zI ZFY and the other in C. hircus haplotype Y1 ZFY. These haplotypes differ only in two nucleotides in our alignment, which is site 321 (C-T), in the haplotype C. aegagrus haplotype zI ZFY, and site 512 (G-A) in C. hircus haplotype Y1 ZFY.  Phylogenetic analysis indicated that C. aegagrus (bezoar) is the ancestor of the native goats in Indonesia, including the Lakor goats.

Los tumores neuroendocrinos G2 (TNE) del tracto digestivo son un grupo heterogéneo de tumores con múltiples opciones de tratamiento, pero los ensayos prospectivos que evalúan el papel de los factores predictivos en estos pacientes son escasos. El objetivo fue analizar factores pronósticos y características clínicas en una población con G2-TNE y determinar el papel de Ki-67 en la estratificación de la población G2. La supervivencia se estimó mediante el método de Kaplan-Meier y los cuartiles Ki-67 se compararon mediante la prueba de log-rank. El valor de Ki-67 para discriminar la mortalidad se evaluó con un análisis de curva ROC. De 144 pacientes, la edad media fue 54.9 (DS 14.7), 46.7% hombres, 102 (70.8%) con enfermedad metastásica, hepática en 97 (67.4%). El 67.9% se sometió a cirugía. El 34% recibió quimioterapia y el 10.9% terapia dirigida. La mediana de Ki-67 fue 6 (IQR 4-10), curva ROC = 0.62 (IC 95% 0.53 a 0.72 p = 0.021); corte: 6.5 (sensibilidad 62.2%, especificidad 57.7%). La supervivencia mediana fue 97, 67, 51 y 27 meses según la estratificación por cuartil (p.001). Murieron 45 (31.7%).

Nuestros resultados sugieren que entre los tumores G2 TNE-GEP existe un grupo heterogéneo de neoplasias con diferencias significativas en la supervivencia. Las recomendaciones actuales de la quimioterapia se utilizaron en nuestra serie, con mayor frecuencia en subgrupos de mayor índice proliferativo. Nuestro estudio no tiene el poder suficiente para detectar diferencias entre los cuartiles Ki-67, aunque se observa una clara tendencia según puntos de corte establecidos.

Evaluation of sustainable management practices of water resources in Ghana: Perspectives from the Fosu and Essei Lagoons
Authors: Adu-Boahen Kofi
Published: November 2022

Globally, nations have made decisions regarding sustainable management of water resources that have not always inured to the benefit of the populace. Some of these decisions have led to water bodies drying up, overdrawn groundwater aquifers, pollution, and in some cases, degradation in ecosystem services. This paper sought to evaluate and propose an efficient and sustainable management plan for coastal lagoon management to ensure a more desirable future. Data were derived through the purposive sampling technique and snowball methods from all the key stakeholders considered having in-depth knowledge of Fosu and Essei Lagoons. The study showed overlaps in the management of the lagoons, which are perceived to be a missing link or overlap in the management and ownership. It has been identified that the interface/relationship between the ownership and management of the Fosu and the Essei Lagoons has been problematic. Ineffective decision-making mechanisms aimed at linking the expectations, skills, and experiences of all constituents (from civil society, the individuals and state organizations, as well as resident communities) have been developed. As a result, a bottom-up approach to coastal lagoon management in Ghana was proposed. Traditional authorities have been given the power to regulate or manage water resources in collaboration with other stakeholders such as the Environmental Protection Agency and Non-Governmental Organisations. In this case, scientific knowledge and traditional knowledge should be applied simultaneously or synergically to ensure the lagoons' sustainable use and management.
How accountable and transparent is the African democracy? Reviewing political party financing and regulations
Authors: Sule Babayo
Published: November 2022

Democracy is identified as one of the best forms of government worldwide because of its aspirations and a promising tendency to foster accountability and transparency in all its ramifications. This includes the channel of selecting leaders, the governance process, and financial spending. One of the major concerns for democratic governance is how to tame the ugly trend of excessive spending during the campaign process. It is well known that politicians are in their nature selfish and can employ all strategies of winning an election, including violation of maximum spending limits as stipulated by law. This study puts the African democracy into a rigorous test of accountability and transparency by examining the regulations and provisions on political party financing and especially by analysing the extent of the strengths and weaknesses of the law and compliance in terms of adequacy or otherwise. The study adopted a descriptive qualitative method of political inquiry where documented sources of data were consulted. The method used for data analysis is content analysis with an emphasis on thematic analytical interpretations. The study discovered that most African countries lack a unified and comprehensive law on party financing, and where it exists as anticipated, failure of enforcement and sanction renders the laws inactive. Besides, there is no effort by the African states towards taming the menace of excessive campaign spending and the use of money in politics. The most annoying aspect is that most of the money for campaign expenditure in African states are sourced from the state treasury, which resulted in bribery, corruption, looting, and misgovernance. The study recommends, among others, that there should be a prompt action need to adopt a unique framework for taming the excess of campaign spending and the use of state treasury for personal political purposes even though the study realises that it is practically impossible to adopt the same rules for financing as each country has its own unique laws of democracy.
Sunday school as a conflict resolution mechanism in churches of the Nigerian Baptist convention
Authors: Afolaranmi Adebayo Ola
Published: November 2022

The world is full of conflicts of many kinds. The churches of the Nigerian Baptist Convention are not exempted as many of the churches are confronted with many of these conflicts. These conflicts have to be resolved. This paper identifies some of the types of conflicts common in the churches of the Nigerian Baptist Convention. The paper presents Sunday School as a mechanism to resolve these conflicts and prevent and deescalate them. These are done by giving a brief definition of Sunday School, tracing its history to its origin in the eighteenth century, and then explaining how Sunday School can be used as a conflict resolution mechanism. The paper concludes with some recommendations. Amongst these recommendations are: stakeholders in the church should pay more attention to Sunday School activities in order to use the activities to prevent, deescalate, and resolve conflicts consciously; church leaders should, as much as possible, live exemplary lives devoid of conflicts; and the society in general and governments, in particular, should explore how to adapt Sunday School in resolving conflicts.
When management and political business diverge: Surface eccentricity and the conceptual linkages
Authors: Okeke Remi Chukwudi , Oku Christopher Chukwu , Ikeh Chinyere Patricia
Published: November 2022

The general objective of this article is to locate a nexus between management and political business. An apparent eccentricity is noticeable in the placement of the research variables. The paper studies this scenario as surface eccentricity and attempts to provide the conceptual linkages. Political business is positioned in the paper as the important matters and affairs of civil administration or government which actually diverges from the notions of profit and loss accounts, tardy receivables and diminishing stock holdings usually associated with business and business management. The theme of inseparability of management theory and practice is further deeply explored in the article. In contextualizing this notion of inseparableness and then locating an empirical trajectory for the embedded analyses, the study became located within the setting of a specific political economy and the nation-state of Nigeria. The thesis of the paper is that management theory and practice are obligatory in the purposeful and effective political business, which borders on consummate decision-making.

Published: November 2022

Pandemic remains a universal problem because it usually comes with a noxious virus that affects the world and it tends to even more pronounce due to globalization that is directly affecting economy and politics through several ways. Although, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has less effect on African part in terms of death and casualties in comparison with other parts of the world, but the African political economy has been unswervingly affected, since Africa depends on Western and other developed economies, which are considered as the epicentres of the pandemic. This calls for urgent policy making related to economy within an international system. This study examined the spread of deadly virus across Africa and its implications on African political economy and governance. To accomplish its objectives, this study employed and applied descriptive method where secondary sources of data  including books, journals, reports, internet sources and newspapers related to the virus cases and its economic and political impacts were used. Again, theoretical interpretative technique complemented the statistical analysis, where relevant sub-themes are identified and analysed accordingly. Admittedly, the study discovered that COVID-19 pandemic spread speedily in African continent, thanks to globalization, and the pandemic acutely affects the African economy and politics in many ways. Specifically, the study recommends among many that African countries should look inward and identify policies that they can initiate to break the cycle of dependency thereby reducing the level of imports and promoting export.

Published: November 2022

The research looked at the effectiveness of Opay Oride's outdoor advertisements for market expansion in Akure metropolis, Capital of Ondo State, Nigeria. The framing theory was used as the theoretical framework. The survey research method was employed, and the questionnaire and interview guide were used as data collection tools. Three hundred and eighty-six (386) respondents were chosen using a multi-stage sample approach. Two Opay sales agents in Akure were interviewed. According to findings, most respondents were exposed to Opay outdoor advertisements in Akure, particularly the billboard in Akure's Ijomu neighbourhood. Respondents could largely remember Opay's price reduction (promo) and advertisements with the phrase "Where you matter." Findings further revealed that patronage increased dramatically after enormous Opay Oride outdoor advertisements in Akure and a significant degree of exposure to it. It was concluded that Opay Oride outdoor advertising has considerable effectiveness in market expansion in the Akure metropolis. It is recommended, among other things, that the company continue to use outdoor advertising media to reach out to its target customers to outperform competitors.
Women’s contribution in african economies: It is time for a rethink
Authors: Emojong' Omukule , Korir Geofrey
Published: November 2022

Explicitly defining orthodoxies about women empowerment in Africa reveal that, unlike men, women lack more economic opportunities, which contributes to their declining local economy and that of their respective nations. Although several studies have explored this claim further, most of their analytic portions have substantially surfaced the plausible causal link between other indicators and these nations' economic decline. This emphasis gives impetus to claims of a deliberate attempt by researchers not to posit causal relationships between women's inadequate economic opportunities and their respective nations' dwindling economies. In this regard, there are sketch speculations that any debate about women's role in a given African nation's economic growth is likely to be divided into arguments around their work efficiency. Within such debates, narratives around the responsiveness of such nations’ governance systems to women, and their inherent societal norms, can be chiefly dialectical. By calling attention to issues limiting women’s contributions to economies, this article demonstrates how increased investment in women’s economic empowerment brings forth a positive impact on the economy. It borrows from Galtung’s structural form of violence and Barnett and Hyde’s expansionist theory in deriving an eclectic mix of expositions to support this position. . Based on these expositions, it concludes that discriminatory social norms and practices, and inadequate legislation, are the main impediments to women’s economic empowerment. It proposes, in light of this conclusion, the need to delegitimize norms and ideas that perpetuate women's disempowerment and suggests that it can be achieved, through advocacy and policy interventions, which are context-specific.

Girls’ education is critical to the development of Nigeria; as such, this comparative study is an attempt to investigate the extent to which in-school related factors constrained the girls’ education programme strategies of the Bauchi State Government, Nigeria and UNICEF from improving girl-child education in the state. A mixed method research design comprising both qualitative and quantitative approach to data gathering was developed and utilized to obtain a sample size of 180 respondents out of a total population of 283 using Qualtrics quantitative sample size calculator based on purposive sampling technique. Data obtained were analysed thematically and hypothesis tested using multiple regression with the aid of the SPSS statistical software (version 20) at 0.05 level of significance. The null hypothesis was rejected and the alternate upheld because it was found that school related factors, such as furniture, toilet and water facilities, availability of classrooms, teachers and school fence significantly constrained the girls’ education programme strategies of the Bauchi State Government from improving girl-child education compared to that of UNICEF. In conclusion it was recommended that, the state government should utilize traditional and religious institutions to enlighten and create awareness about the benefits of the girls’ education programme been implemented.
Post-election litigations outcome and the credibility of the election management institution in Nigeria, 1999-2019
Authors: Udalla Ernest Arinze
Published: November 2022

Over the years, Nigeria has continued to search for better ways of consolidating her fragile democracy. This study therefore, seeks to examine how the electoral process, particularly post-election litigations have contributed to strengthening democratic governance in Nigeria within the period under study. To achieve this, the study adopted the Liberal Democratic Theory as a theoretical guide and ex-post-facto research design. The Documentary Method of data collection was employed for collecting data while the Qualitative Descriptive Method was used for analyzing the data. The study found that the credibility of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been truncated at different periods. Again, both the post-election litigations outcome and the credibility of the election management body (INEC) were dependent on the credibility of the leadership of INEC at different periods. In order words, if the leadership of INEC lacks credibility, it will definitely impact on the credibility of the elections, the post-election litigation outcomes and the overall credibility of INEC as an institution. The study therefore recommends that proper scrutinizing of the leadership of INEC be always done before appointment, to ensure that people of integrity are appointed into such office since their actions immensely shape the electoral process.

Students at universities are becoming recognized as a vulnerable populace, with much greater rates of depression and workload/activities than the overall population amidst COVID-19. As such, the present research intends to document the extent of self-reported impact on university students' everyday accademic lives and incomes. In August of 2021, a cross-sectional, self-administered internet-based poll was conducted among Ghanaian university students in Kumasi. The data was retrieved from the internet using Microsoft Excel and then analyzed using STATA software version 14. Both univariate and logistic regression analysis were performed, with a p-value<0.05 regarded statistically significant (*). The study included 430 participants, majority of whom were single (98.6%), young adults (89.8%), and Christians (90.7%). This survey found that 52.1% said the COVID-19 epidemic has a highly significant impact on their daily activities and income. Among other risk factors considered by the study, only students with a perceived risk of COVID-19 infection are approximately three times more likely to be affected by the pandemic in their daily academic activities and incomes than those who were not (Adj. OR = 2.516, 95CI% = 1.551–4.081, p < 0.001). The knowledge advanced by this study will educate stakeholders and aid policy-makers in higher education in improving public educational provisions. The results of this study may be used to predict the future effects of the pandemic. The novelty of this research also lies in its self-reported approach to analyzing the effect of the pandemic on the income and everyday academic activities of university students in Kumasi.

Authors: Arazu Ogonna Winnie , Mobosi Ikechukwu Andrew , Mba Ifeoma Christy
Published: November 2022

Financial globalization has drawn so much attention and has been identified as the major cause of the global financial crisis. With clear evidence of financial globalization in Nigeria, agreement on the magnitude and net effect on the nation’s economic sectors has not received more research attention. This article aims to investigate how Nigeria's sectoral performances are impacted by financial globalization. The sectors of interest include Trade, Agriculture, Construction, Industrial and Service. Annual Time series data for the period, 1981-2019 was analysed using a Classical Linear Regression Method in an Error Correction Framework. Results established a strong significant association between financial globalization, construction and trade sectors. It indicates the insignificant consequences of financial globalization on the industrial, service, and agricultural sectors, respectively. The result further finds that terms of payment impact the agricultural sector, while terms of trade impact the industrial sector, respectively. The exchange rate is the only variable that shows a significant negative impact on the five selected sectors. The article suggests that government and monetary authorities concentrate on stabilizing the currency rate since doing so improves terms of trade, builds local capacity, and boosts sectoral performances.

Published: November 2022

Globally, the highest number of maternal deaths is in Sub-Saharan African region with ratio of 546 maternal deaths per 100, 000 live births which is approximately 201,000 maternal deaths annually. This amounts to two-thirds of all maternal deaths per year worldwide.  This fact calls for investigation to ascertain its effect(s) on economic development of the sub region. It is however hypothesized that maternal death generally is significant and has negative influence on economic growth (Gross Domestic product) both in under-developed, developing and developed nations. The objective of this study is to estimate the effect of maternal mortality on economic development in Sub-Sahara African region. Cross-sectional data analysis of selected member countries in the region under focus was employed using double-log econometric model. The source of data is from United Nations Development Programme and World Bank. The explanatory variables in the model were statistically significant at 5% level while other coefficients like maternal mortality, exports and imports conform to the apriori expectations and impacted negatively on the overall GDP. A necessary but not sufficient condition is investing on viable programmes and projects that reduce maternal deaths as well as spur significant economic returns and sustainability in sub-Saharan African economies are however recommended.

Sebuku is occupied by serpentinized ultramafic (peridotite) rocks, gabbro, and chert which are ophiolite series formed in the oceanic crust, in the middle occupied by tuff and claystones. The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution pattern of iron ore deposits. The research area illustrates that the distribution of Fe elements with high levels of >48% is concentrated in the northeast-southwest part, while Fe elements with levels of <48% are concentrated in the southwest-northwest part of the west. Based on the topographic classification of the research area. The pattern of mineralization follows the structural pattern that occurs, where the lateralization of the source rock is intensive in the crushing zone around the structure that forms the main structure and minor structure. This destruction zone serves as an effective water infiltration medium to accelerate the washing process which forms supergene enrichment zones. The pattern of distribution of mineralization is relatively Northeast-Southwest which in some places is characterized by the straightness of the ridge or morphology with more contrasting and prominent zones on the lidar mosaic map.
Konsep Ekklesiologi menurut Perspektif Alkitab dan Implementasinya bagi Orang Kristen
Authors: Umboh Steven Tommy Dalekes , Kaawoan Leonard Albert
Published: November 2022

Abstract: This paper focuses on ecclesiology or the church on the basis of the biblical text of Matthew 16:18. This topic was raised by the author because there is still no uniform understanding of when the church is present, Does it start in the Old Testament or the New Testament era? Because there are still many opposing groups who think the church has stood starting from the Old Testament. While different groups instead disapprove of the church standing in Old Testament times. The author uses qualitative methods with an approach to literature studies and exposition in the text of Matthew 16:18. The result of the description of the findings of this study is that the Church is a divine institution established by Christ on earth. The Church or ecskelesia begins in the NT because it was built and formed by the divine power of Christ's resurrection. Therefore, without the death and resurrection of Christ, ekklesia as a church cannot be formed. Therefore the church belongs to Christ, not to the or the work of a particular spiritual or personal organization.Abstrak: Tulisan ini berfokus menguraikan perihal eklesiologi atau gereja dengan dasar teks kitab suci dari Matius 16:18. Topik ini diangkat oleh penulis karena masih tidak seragamnya pemahaman perihal kapan gereja hadir, apakah dimulai dari era Perjanjian Lama atau era Perjanjian Baru? Sebab masih banyak kelompok-kelompok yang berseberangan berpandangan gereja sudah berdiri dimulai dari Perjanjian Lama. Sementara kelompok yang berbeda sebaliknya tidak menyetujui gereja berdiri pada masa Perjanjian Lama. Penulis menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi literatur dan eksposisi pada teks Matius 16:18. Hasil uraian pada temuan kajian ini adalah Gereja adalah lembaga ilahi yang didirikan oleh Kristus di bumi. Gereja atau ekkelsia dimulai dari PB karena dibangun dan dibentuk oleh kuasa Ilahi kebangkitan Kristus. Karena itu tanpa kematian dan kebangkitan Kristus, maka ekklesia sebagai gereja tidak dapat terbentuk. Karena itu gereja adalah milik Kristus, bukan kepunyaan atau hasil karya dari sebuah organisasi rohani atau pribadi tertentu.

Abstract: Education is inseparable from the social competence of teachers and also the teacher's code of ethics. Teachers are often defined as social beings where the life of a teacher or educator cannot be separated from social life. So do not be surprised if teachers get more demands from other communities. Because the competence and code of ethics of teachers are things that can bring exemplary attitudes to students. For that attitude, it is necessary to develop good communication with parents of students in order to build communication that exists in two directions that takes place, so that the values and morals that are applied bring children to respect and tolerance in building the nation. Using descriptive qualitative methods, it can be concluded that teachers in building and encouraging children's creativity both in society grow in the value of harmony. Because this can be a very important deradication in multicultural life for radicalism. An educator also needs to build harmony for the school, the surrounding environment and within the community because it becomes a foundation to be able to become a unifier and build harmony. Both in terms of different religions, which exist in the Indonesian nation.Abstrak: Pendidikan tidak terlepas dari kompetensi sosial guru dan juga kode etik guru. Guru sering kali didefinisikan sebagai makhluk sosial dimana kehidupan seorang guru atau pendidik ini tidak lepas dari kehidupan sosial.

Mengunakan metode kualitatif deskritif, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa guru dalam membangun dan mendorong kreativitas anak baik dalam masyarakat bertumbuh dalam nilai kerukunan. Sebab hal ini dapat menjadi deradikasi yang sangat penting dalam kehidupan yang multikultural bagi adanya radikalisme. Seorang pendidik juga perlu membangun akan kerukaunan bagi sekolah, lingkungan sekitar serta didalam masyarakat karena itu menjadi sebuah pondasi untuk dapat menjadi pemersatu dan membangun kerukunan. Baik dari segi keagamaan yang berbeda-beda, yang ada di bangsa Indonesia.
