Effect of COVID-19 pandemic on foreign exchange rate volatility: The Nigeria experience
Authors: Oketooyin Gbadebo Abraham
Published: July 2022

The outburst of the Covid-19 brought anxiety that led to social distancing, stay at home, restriction in traveling locally and internationally, and finally, the financial instability globally as many economic activities shut down. Consequently, the study examined the effect of the coronavirus pandemic on exchange rate volatility from February 29, 2020, to March 31, 2021. The study utilized two-time series data which were sourced from daily reports on covid-19 from the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and daily exchange rates US$/Nigerian₦ from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin. The study used Error Correction Model (ECM) to analyze the data. The bound test was used in the survey to establish a level of association between the independent variables and the regressor set. The findings revealed that daily reported COVID-19 instances, daily death cases, and cumulative death cases had a positive effect on Nigerian exchange rate volatility. Conversely, confirmed cumulative coronavirus cases do not impact the exchange rate in Nigeria in the short run. Coronavirus significantly affected all macroeconomic indices, including the exchange rate. The study will be helpful to the government and its agencies in the determination of the palliatives for the needy citizens. It will also help the policy makers to develop strategies that can stabilize the economy and health sector to reduce the effect of the pandemic on the citizenry

FİKİR VE SANAT ESERLERİNİN TEKNİK GEREKLİLİK NEDENİYLE GEÇİCİ ÇOĞALTILMASI
Authors: Karaaslan Pelin
Published: July 2022

Fikir ve Sanat Eserleri Kanunu’na (FSEK) göre bir eseri çoğaltma hakkı münhasıran eser sahibine aittir (m. 22). Çoğaltma, eserin işaret, ses veya görüntü nakil ya da tekrarına yarayan bir araca tespit edilerek insan duyularıyla doğrudan veya dolaylı olarak algılanabilir hale getirilmesidir. Mevcut düzenlemeye göre tespitin sürekli veya geçici olması, çoğaltma hakkı bakımından önem arz etmez. Böylece eser sahiplerine geniş çaplı bir koruma sağlanmıştır. Ancak teknik gereklilikten kaynaklanan geçici çoğaltmaların da çoğaltma hakkı kapsamında yer alması, bilgi toplumunun bazı gereklilikleri ile bağdaşmamaktadır. Bu nedenle Fikir ve Sanat Eserleri Kanunu’na teknik gereklilikten kaynaklanan geçici çoğaltmalar için bir istisna hükmü eklenmesi gündemdedir. Bu çalışmada, getirilmesi planlanan hükmün uygulama koşulları incelenmiş ve mevcut düzenlemeler çerçevesinde sorunun çözümü için başka hangi yollara başvurulabileceği tartışılmıştır.

Published: July 2022

Wetlands are very important because of the wide range of ecosystem services they provide. Despite their ecological, social and environmental importance, these ecosystems are threatened and fragmented under the combined effects of climate change (CC) and man-made activities (MMA). Such a state of things could be exacerbated by the advent of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic with its many implications. In order to help decision-makers take good decisions, the combined effect of CC, MMA and COVID-19 on the livelihoods of communities around wetland ecosystems have been reviewed based on available scientific knowledge. First, we analyzed the different concepts and theories underlying the wetlands-related studies and then summarized the merits and demerits of the different methodologies underlying wetland studies. The empirical evidences that exist in previous literatures have been highlighted. Similarly, common livelihood strategies for wetland communities in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have been highlighted. The diversity of wetlands’ functions and services makes them a source of livelihood, food security and poverty alleviation for riverside communities. However, these communities lack the knowledge and awareness to understand the impact of their activities and CC on their livelihoods. The review also helped to identify that, out of the three factors investigated, the livelihoods of rural wetland dwellers in SSA are mostly influenced by CC and MMA. However, climate change and COVID-19 remain life-altering transboundary threats that extend in space and time, with large uncertainties on wetlands communities livelihoods.

Authors: Robiah Al Adawiyati  , Yunita Budiarti
Published: July 2022

Latar belakang permasalahan dalam penelitian ini yaitu mengenai paradigma serta revolusi. Paradigma didefinisikan sebagai pandangan dasar tentang apa yang menjadi bahasan yang seharusnya dikaji oleh disiplin ilmu pengetahuan. Sedangkan menurut Thomas Kuhn, paradigma ilmu adalah suatu kerangka teoritis atau suatu cara memandang dan memahami alam, yang telah digunakan sekelompok ilmuwan sebagai pandangan dunia (world view). Paradigma itu sendiri memiliki keuddukan penting dalam proses revolusi ilmu pengetahuan, keberadaan paradigma menjadi sebiah system penguji kualitas dari terjadinya revolusi ilmu pengetahuan itu sendiri. Maka dapat kita pahami bahwa paradigma dan revolusi selalu beriringan bersama dan tidak dapat dipisahkan, karena terjadinya revolusi berawal dari sebuah hasil dari paradigma itu sendiri.

Finger millet [Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.] grows in upland rainfed conditions customarily at disadvantageousregions of the country. Evaluation of genetic diversity and the choice of parents is the crucial step to augmenting the desired improvement of crops towards grain and fodder yield. In the present study, 31 finger millet genotypes were studied for genetic diversity employing cluster and principal component analysis (PCA) at G. B. Pant Universityof Agriculture and Technology (GBPUA&T), Pantnagar during 2018 and 2019. Mahalanobis D2 statistics revealedseven clusters where cluster I represented 24 genotypes, cluster II with two genotypes, and the remaining clusterswith a single genotype each. The maximum inter-cluster distance was observed between clusters III and VII (49.783)followed by III and IV (46.737) indicating more diversity between clusters. Five PCs accounted for 77.50% of totalgenetic variability using PCA. Furthermore, two diverse and complementary parents (PKPS4 and F20) were identifiedthat possessed complement traits, viz. bold seed, high mean for single head weight, grain yield, harvest index, number of finger/spike (PKPS4), and number of tillers/plant (F20). Therefore, PKPS4 and F20 genotypes could be considered as donor parents for different traits to increase grain yield in finger millet.

This study analyzed the effect of corporate governance on audit quality of selected brewery firms in Nigeria for a period of ten years spanning 2011-2020. The study employed ex-post facto and longitudinal research design. The secondary sources of data were collected from annual reports of the selected brewery firms quoted in their Nigeria Exchange Group and four (4) specific objectives and hypotheses were subjected to some preliminary data tests such as descriptive statistic, and Pearson correlation analysis and were analyzed using binary logistic regression analysis. Audit quality was used as the dependent variable, while board financial expertise, board size, board independence, and board meeting were used as the independent variables. Utilizing data from a sample of 40 firm year observations, we found that the proportion of non-executive directors and board size has positive and significant effect on audit quality. Based on the findings from the study, we therefore recommend that board size should be increased to a maximum number of six members for improved audit quality and quick decision making in relation to audited financial report. Also, Nigeria breweries should ensure that their board is composed of independent persons, with high level of integrity that can match words with action to improve their audit quality.

This paper investigated the connection between portfolio allocation and financial performance of insurance industry in Nigeria. The data was obtained from secondary sources and estimated with autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL). The study discovered a long-run relationship between portfolio allocation to cash and equivalents, financial assets, reinsurance assets, investment properties, other receivables and prepayments, property and equipment and financial performance proxied by growth in gross premium income (GPI). Further research reveals that allocation to in cash and equivalents, other receivables and prepayments and properties and equipment had an insignificant negative effect on GPI. Furthermore, the study discovered that investment in financial assets, reinsurance assets and investment properties had positive statistically significant relationship with GPI. This result implies that insurance companies’ investment in financial assets, reinsurance assets, investment properties is relativ ely high and do have strong correlation with financial performance. Hence, portfolio management in insurance industry plays a crucial role in finance. Policy should be geared towards purchase of valueadding property and equipment, purchase of intangibles, efficient utilization of proceeds from sale of property and equipment and retention of cash and cash equivalents for prompt payment of claims.

Consideration of difficulties inherent in maintenance management system in Nigerian oil and gas industries, and to eliminate the tedium associated in the system and improve equipment performance. In this work an attempt was made to assess the equipment maintenance practice in Kwale gas recycling plant of Nigeria Agip Oil Company Limited. Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) indicator was used to determine the performance of various types of pumps and Turbine power generators installed in the plant, Maintenance records of the pumps and gas Turbine generators provided data for the computation and analysis. The availability, performance and quality rate of the pumps and gas Turbine generators were used to assess the overall effectiveness of the equipment used in the system. Detailed analysis of the failure rate and downtime revealed that a Plan Do Check Act (PDCA) system which is a proactive (predictive) maintenance technique was not adopted in the plant. The highest OEE value of 8.9% obtained confirmed that the current maintenance strategy and policy of the company is very much below standard and unacceptable. Hence this work affirms that the use of PDCA will avert unexpected system failure through early detection of faults, improve safety operation, reliability and durability of equipment. Thereby far less (i) human effort is wasted and (ii) energy expended, both of which led to increase in availability and profitability.

The Nigeria nation is bestowed with abundant natural and human resources, yet, it is still classified as a developing nation as these resources are yet to be impactful on the wellbeing of the citizenry. Corruption and fraud in the nations’ public sector have been described as the greatest challenges of our time and prevalence of high level of corruption in governance has been identified as one major obstacle militating against the rapid growth and development. This study examines the extents to which the implementation of the TSA policy has affected the minimization of corruption and other unwholesome fraudulent practices in the Nigerian public sector. The study was conducted as a conceptual study by reviewing the works of several other researchers regarding the effect of TSA. The study concluded that notwithstanding the various strategies put in place by successive administrations in Nigeria to combat corruption and public sector fraud, it has persisted because of the lack of political will to put a definite end to the monster. The study therefore recommends that the government through appropriate agencies should strengthen the process of TSA compliance. Additionally, legislations should be enacted that will institutionize the TSA across all tiers of government therefore avoiding deviation at the Federal level by other successive governments. Public Sector Accountants should be trained to meet up with the challenges of TSA operations. Finally, bureaucratic challenges surrounding the TSA should be minimized to the least possible level.

Fungal population were studied from different farming soils in Rukpokwu community, in Rivers State. The control soil was collected from a non- farming soil. Soil samples were collected from different location using a hand auger at dept of 0-15cm and labeled A-F. Mycological and physicochemical analysis were done using standard procedures. The mean total fungal count ranged between 5.21×103 to 2.57×104 CFU/g. The lowest fungal counts were found in sample F (control), while the highest fungal counts were found in sample A. The predominant fungal isolates identified were Mucor sp, Microsporum sp, Candida sp, Penicillium sp, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Rhizopus sp, Rhodotorula sp, Geotrichum sp, Scopulariopsis sp, and Saccharomyces sp. Candida sp occurred more followed by A. niger while Rodiotorula sp, Rhizopus sp, Saccharomyces sp and Geotrichum sp shared similar frequency and occurred the least. The study showed that fungal populations in the various farms were higher than those in the control. The fungal isolates from the various soil samples differed only little. The nutrient composition of farm soil revealed that the soil samples contain nutrients necessary for fungus and crop growth. The results suggest that plants residue can play a pivotal role in fungal population in soil.
