Authors:   Department of Public Administration, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Nigeria, Oikhala Gabriel Izokpu
Published: September 2024

The paper assessed public administration issues and challenges to national security in Nigeria. This is to know how public administration can be strengthened to curb threats to national security in Nigeria. It is a theoretical paper hence, it relied on data obtained from relevant published textbooks, journals, newspapers, and conference papers. The data collected were analysed through the descriptive method. Using the structural functionalism theory, public administration was identified as a critical instrument of government to achieve its national security goal of Nigeria. It found that public administration has not been able to provide the expected national security in Nigeria. The unfriendly and paralysing situations of the political and socio-economic environment, the collapsing conditions of good governance, and the leadership crisis were found as issues and challenges facing public administration on national security in Nigeria. The paper concluded that public administration is what the government uses to maintain national security but could not provide the expected results due to issues of poor political environment and crisis of leadership. It recommended, among others, the redefinition of political structure and rebirth of leadership in Nigeria to promote a better and more friendly political environment that is conducive for public administration to discharge its function of national security in Nigeria.

Dwindling revenue has affected governance at the state and local government levels in Nigeria in the last decade. The government has the mandate to impose taxes via its various regulations. An efficient and effective tax system can ensure the country’s necessities and services. An increase in VAT became a vital instrument that can improve the revenue base of most States in Nigeria. The assumption was that with the increase in VAT, states and Local Governments would have more money to be able to pay the salaries of their workers and to implement the 30,000 minimum wage. The increase in the VAT did not receive resistance unlike in the past where various attempts to increase the VAT were met with stiff resistance by the business environment and labor unions. To what extent can the increase in VAT lead to an increase in revenue generation? This study intended to find out the effect of the increase in the value-added tax on the economy with respect to revenue generation in Nigeria. Data were collected from secondary sources from 2007 to 2022. The study revealed that an increase in VAT has led to an increase in revenue generation but the target of the Federal Government generating 7.5 trillion Naira from VAT annually has not been achieved. There is a need to explore other sources of revenue for the State and Local Governments to enable them to discharge their financial responsibilities effectively. Also, there is a need to consider the plight of those who are directly affected by the increase in VAT and who are not collecting any salary.

Authors:   Department of Political Science and Public Administration, University of Uyo, Uyo, Ataide Harrison Otuekong
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate how information and communication technology (ICT) contributes to the growth of entrepreneurship in Nigeria. When it comes to the broad acceptance of social media and digital apps, ICT plays a crucial role in the day-to-day operations of entrepreneurial endeavours. A desk research strategy was used, and literature on the effects of ICT on the growth of entrepreneurship was examined. According to the report, there is a plethora of potential for youth empowerment, employability, and general employment when ICT is applied to business growth. A lack of proper entrepreneurship orientation, inconsistent power supplies, inadequate ICT infrastructure, a lack of skilled technicians and technologists, poor access to financing, and poor marketing abilities were among the difficult factors that the study also uncovered. These were obstacles that any aspiring business owner had to overcome to ensure the sustainability of an existing venture. The report suggested, among other things, that given the critical role that ICT plays in the creation of entrepreneurial possibilities, the government and other stakeholders should create an environment that is supportive of the development of ICT infrastructure to support the growth of entrepreneurship. Furthermore, training facilities in ICT should be provided by relevant government agencies and networth stakeholders to increase the efficiency of the country’s entrepreneurs, enabling them to acquire relevant technical and technological skills needed to expand output, maintain existing customers, gain access to wider markets, and improve their entrepreneurial activities generally, particularly in terms of the development of new products for solving societal problems in the country.

La temperatura del océano ha ido variando de forma natural a lo largo de la historia de la Tierra, y tras la industrialización (siglo xviii) hay que sumar a los cambios el factor antropogénico. Es una de las variables cruciales del complejo sistema climático, ya que el océano contribuye a regular el clima de todo el planeta a través de los intercambios de calor con la atmósfera y de su redistribución mediante las corrientes marinas. De hecho, el océano
almacena cantidades de calor muy superiores a las de la atmósfera y representa la «memoria» del sistema climático, a causa de la gran escala temporal de los cambios oceánicos. Por tanto, el análisis de las series temporales de temperatura oceánica constituye un indicador climático fundamental.

Which fields drive the h-index?
Authors: Giudici Paolo , Boscolo Luca
Published: September 2024

The measurement of the quality of academic research is often done by means of the h-index measure. Although widely accepted, the h-index has some issues and, in particular, it may depend on the scientific field in which a researcher operates. To date there is not a definitive answer as to whether this difference holds, and to what extent it varies. To fill the gap, we propose to operationaly measure the difference in h-index across the sectors of a relatively homogeneous population of all scientists of a nation. To answer the heterogeneity issue we apply three different explainable machine learning models: linear regression, Poisson regression and tree models. Our results show that the latter two models better explain the data. They show that the only sectors for which a difference in h-index is significant are Physics, Biology and Clinical Sciences.

The study of river waters and water flows of their tributaries is very important and necessary for the protection, use and improvement of their condition. According to the Water Framework Directive (WFD, 2000) the use of benthic macroinvertebrates in river water quality monitoring is considered an efficient method. This study was conducted during 2019 in the Shushicë river, where its purpose was to assess the quality of river waters using the biotic index ASPT (BMWP) and the biotic index - SWRC. The sampling method used was based on the Kick net technique with a mesh size of 500 microns. From the sampling taken in four stations, 481 individuals belonging to two types (Arthropoda and Annelida), one class (Insecta) and one subclass (N/K Oligochaeta) were collected. The unidentified species belong to 8 orders (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera, Haplotaxid, Odonata, Hoplonemertea) and 28 families. Based on the results obtained from the calculation of the ASPT (BMWP) biotic index, station I and III result in a "Clean" bio classification, station II and IV result in a "Partially clean" bio-classification. From the SWRC Biotic index calculations, the first station and the fourth station result in a bio classification of "Good", the second station results in a bio classification of "Clean", and the third station results in a bio classification of "Excellent" Based on the Biotic index ASPT (BMWP) and SWRC we can say that the Shushic river resultshas a good water quality, and partially with a slight organic pollution.

Published: September 2024

Wheat is the most important field crop in the world. Two types of wheat are known: soft wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) used for flour production and hard wheat (Triticum durum L.) used for pasta production. The world area planted with wheat is 220,000,000 ha, varying over the years by 10% according to world price trends. The world production is 784 000 000 tons providing the basic food for the population of the world. Over 350 food items are produced from wheat, which are widely used in the world. The creation of new cultivars and their testing in different ecological zones has influenced the increase in wheat yields in the world. Even in North Macedonia, wheat is a basic crop in the agriculture of this country and is planted in an area of 80,000 ha with an average yield of 35 kv/ha, providing over 40% of the population's needs with the production of this crop which is very important in the Balkans. The cultivar testing is and remains the subject of ongoing scientific research and trials to determine the best cultivar according to specific ecological zones and soil conditions. Four cultivars were included in this study: Pobeda, Apache, Amazon, and Orovçanka. As seen from the name, the cultivars are from different areas and with different genetic origins. Their testing is necessary to determine their suitability and to select the best cultivar. The experiment was set up according to the classical methodology and the randomized block scheme with four variants and four replications. The dimensions of the variant are 5 x 4 m, thus with an area of 20 m2 of each variant. Biometric measurements and production indicators were made according to the methodology. The data were subjected to statistical processing to increase the accuracy of drawing conclusions and provide accurate advice.

Maize hybrids are adapted according to the areas in accordance with their biological characteristics and meeting the climatic and soil requirements, as well as the cultivation technology that is constantly improving. In the area of Lushnje, there are very good conditions for the cultivation of maize, especially hybrids with a long growing season and high production capacity. In conditions where Albania does not produce its own seed but imports it from different countries, it is very important to evaluate and study hybrids with the aim of determining the most suitable hybrid for different areas. The study of maize hybrids imported from three main sources that dominate the area sown with maize in Albania, and mainly in the coastal lowlands, remains a continuous work that is repeated almost every year. The hybrids included in this study: 5685, 5182, and 6092 from DKS, Bulgaria, Contigos, Intelligence, Kalxon, Kulmos, and Kabriles from KËS, Germany, 707, 666 and 553 B from ZP (Zemun Polje, Serbia). The experiment was set up according to the randomized block scheme with eleven variants and four replications. Ten plants were determined for each replicate and variant on which biometric measurements and production indicators were made. The data was subjected to mathematical data processing to determine the best hybrid, which is adapted to the conditions of the area and gives the highest yield.

Published: September 2024

Tüm dünyayı derinden etkileyen 1929 Dünya Ekonomik Krizi, Türkiye’yi de etkisi altına almıştır. Türkiye’de bu ekonomik krizi atlatabilmek için sıkı politikalar takip edilmiştir. Bu politikalar doğrultusunda halkı tasarrufa özendirmek ve yerli malı kullanmaya teşvik etmek amacıyla Milli İktisat ve Tasarruf Cemiyeti kurulmuş ve yerli malı haftası kutlanmaya başlanmıştır. Özellikle 1930-1945 arası dönemde basında yer alan tasarruf temalı yazılar aracılığıyla halkta tasarruf bilinci oluşturulmaya çalışılmıştır. Krize karşı alınan tasarruf tedbirlerinden birisi de halkın tasarrufa yönlendirilmesini sağlamak amacıyla kurulan Tasarruf sandıklarıdır. 10 Haziran 1930 tarihli ve 1711 sayılı Tasarruf Sandıkları Kanununa tâbi olan bu kurumlar, küçük tasarrufları belirli bir faiz karşılığında alarak önemli işlere yönlendirmek, kazançları sınırlı olan kişilerin birikimlerini korumak ve bunları bir araya getirerek ülke servetinin çoğalmasına yardımcı olmak amacıyla kurulmuşlardır. Çalışmamızda, tasarruf sandıklarının kuruluş süreci, çalışma ilkeleri ve hem şahsi hem de toplumsal bakımdan sağladığı faydalar başta Bakanlar Kurulu’nun kararı ile yürürlüğe giren “Tasarruf Sandıkları Nizamnamesi” olmak üzere dönemin ulusal basını ve arşiv kaynakları incelenerek açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır.

Çalışmada; “Türkistan’ın Ticaret Şehri Beykend’in Fethi ve İktisadi Hayatı Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme (43-88/663-707)” başlığı altında Beykend’in coğrafi durumu dikkate alınarak Emevîler dönemindeki siyasî, iktisadi ve ilmi durumu ele alınmıştır. Ceyhun Nehri ile Buhara arasında yer alan ve etrafı dayanıklı sur ve kale ile çevrili olan Beykend şehrinde ribat, iki pazar, beytü’l-mal, muhafız alayı ve hapishane bulunmaktadır. Buhara merkezli ilk ciddi akınlar Ubeydullah b. Ziyad tarafından gerçekleşmesine rağmen Arapların Türkistan sahasını fidye ve haraç yolu ile bağlamak istemeleri bölgedeki kontrolün sağlanmasını engellemiştir. Türkistan’ın ilk ticaret merkezlerinden kabul edilen ve mükemmel bir şehir olduğu için Soğd’un demir dövmesi olarak nitelendirilen Beykend şehrine yönelik iki hareket düzenlenmiştir. 87/706 yılında düzenlenen ilk askeri harekette yaklaşık kırk bin kişinin öldüğü belirtilen hadisede şehrin teslim edilmesi koşulu ile antlaşma yapılmıştır. Arapların Beykend’e yönelik gerçekleştirdiği ikinci hareket Nizek ve Soğdlulara bir uyarı niteliği taşımaktadır. Nitekim Emevî hilafetine karşı çıkması muhtemel ayaklanmalara karşı birer gözdağı verildiğini söyleyebiliriz.
Buhara’ya bağlı bir tüccar şehri olan Beykend şehri, sanayi ve ticari açıdan öne çıkmıştır. Ancak toprağı çok sert olduğu için zirai mahsüllerin üretimi yapılmamıştır. Bu yüzden gıda ürünleri başta olmak üzere meyve, sebze ve hayvan yemlerine duyulan ihtiyaçlar köylerden tedarik edilmiştir. Beykend’in ticaret merkezi olması İslam öncesi döneme kadar uzandığı gözlemlenmiştir.Buhara’ya bağlı bir tüccar şehri olan Beykend şehri, sanayi ve ticari açıdan öne çıkmıştır.

Published: September 2024

Bir zamanlar Osmanlı şehirlerinin kalabalık sokaklarına özgü olan kahvehaneler, erken modern dönemde Avrupa’nın sosyokültürel dinamiklerinin şekillenmesinde önemli bir rol oynamıştır. Bu eklektik mekânlarda entelektüel söylemin, sanatsal ifadenin ve toplumsal etkileşimin tohumları atılmış; fikirlerin yeşerdiği ve kültürlerin birleştiği bir ortam yaratılmıştır. Avrupa genelinde kahvehanelerin çoğalması sadece fikir alışverişini kolaylaştırmakla kalmamış, kahvehaneler aynı zamanda dönemin gelişen norm ve değerlerini yansıtarak daha geniş toplumsal değişimlerin bir mikrokozmosu olarak hizmet etmiştir. Bu makale, kahve kültürünün Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun kalbinden Avrupa’nın canlı şehirlerine uzanan ilgi çekici yolculuğunu inceleyerek kıtanın sosyal dokusu ve kültürel adetleri üzerindeki etkisinin izini sürecektir. Mütevazı kahvehanenin nasıl değişim için bir pota haline geldiği, siyasi tartışmalardan edebi eserlere kadar her şeyi nasıl etkilediği ve Avrupa kimliği üzerinde nasıl silinmez bir iz bıraktığı ortaya konacaktır.
Imperativeness and challenges of confidentiality in human resource administration
Authors: Adewusi Felix Akinola , Okiti Jacob
Published: September 2024

The importance of confidentiality in human resource administration appears to have been swept under the carpet in Nigeria workplace. Rarely it is mentioned or heard. It is more or less a page ethical code in personal secretary profession, thus the belief that confidentiality ethic is personal secretary's business only. Literature reveals that there is no in depth study and teaching of the subject in terms of general knowledge, importance, management, maintenance, implication of non adherence, and challenges within the human resource administration in Nigeria. Whereas, it's neglect, may have likely led to employees and management disharmony that has ruined some organizations, institutions and government or made them ungovernable in Nigeria. It is on this premise that this paper attempts to appraise the necessity of maintaining confidentiality and its challenges in human resources administration in Nigeria. The paper reveals the crucial roles maintaining confidentiality play in ensuring the quality of programmes and services in human resources administration in Nigeria. The study also reveals the need to make the human resource professionals change their myopic view of confidentiality in Nigeria workplace to a serious and complex issue with its attendant risk of mismanaging with a view to beginning to teach, train, handle and maintain confidentiality among personnel in Nigeria workplaces.
Strategies for developing secretarial growth mindset
Authors: Hussaini Olusola Adenike
Published: September 2024

The growth mindset is the belief that intellectual ability can be developed. This article seeks to answer recent questions about growth mindset, such as: Does a growth mindset predict secretary outcomes? Do growth mindset interventions work, and work reliably? Are the effect sizes meaningful enough to merit attention? And can the employer successfully instill a growth mindset in secretaries? After exploring the important lessons learned from these questions, the article concludes that large scale studies, including pre registered replications and studies conducted by third parties (such as international governmental agencies), justify confidence in growth mindset research. Mindset effects, however, are meaningfully heterogeneous across individuals and contexts. The article describes three recent advances that have helped the field to learn from this heterogeneity: standardized measures and interventions, studies designed specifically to identify where growth mindset interventions do not work (and why), and a conceptual framework for anticipating and interpreting moderation effects. The next generation of mindset research can build on these advances, for example, to begin to understand and perhaps change the contexts in ways that can make interventions more effective. Throughout, the authors reflect on lessons that can enrich meta scientific perspectives on replication and generalization.

The study examined the effect of microfinance services on the performance of microenterprises in Abia State, Nigeria. A total of 240 entrepreneurs were randomly selected, with 120 being beneficiaries of microfinance services and 120 not being beneficiaries. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and focused group discussions. The data collected were then analyzed using descriptive statistics, logit regression, and the double difference estimator. The result showed that the majority of beneficiaries (55%) and non beneficiaries (72%) were male, and married. The respondents were generally young, with a mean age of 40 and 44 years, and had a high level of education, with 82% being literate. Moreover, 69% of the respondents had a large household size. Microfinance services were accessible to all individuals with business interests, with the beneficiaries having more access. Most of the beneficiaries (97%) met the criteria for accessing microfinance services. The study also found that microfinance services improved the performance of both beneficiaries and non beneficiaries, with a performance difference of N 15,002.00. The study recommended that priority should be given to male, young, married, educated, and cooperative members with business experience in credit selection, to ensure effective use of microfinance services and to boost entrepreneurial activities. Additionally, the study suggested that microfinance institutions should consider locating their offices in areas that promote business and improve access to their services. Furthermore, the operators of microfinance institutions in the state should strictly adhere to the criteria for accessing microfinance services to maintain financial standards and include genuine clients.
Trh s energiami na Slovensku
Authors: Ďurana Radovan
Published: September 2024

Rozvoj obnoviteľných zdrojov na Slovensku síce pomaly naberá dych, ale je stále pod svojím potenciálom. Verejná diskusia sa často stáča k otázke dotácií, ale málo sa diskutuje o odstraňovaní prekážok jeho prirodzeného rozvoja. INESS dnes zverejnil štúdiu Trh s energiami na Slovensku, v ktorej tieto prekážky popisujeme. Publikácia je súčasťou spoločného projektu výskumných inštitúcií zo 7. krajín, ktoré v spoločnej štúdii identifikovali 40 opatrení na zlepšenie trhu s energiami a s návrhmi, ako pritiahnuť viac súkromných investícií do tejto oblasti bez nutnosti dotácií z verejných rozpočtov s názvom „Energizing the Energy Sector in Central-Eastern Europe“. Medzi hlavné odporúčania štúdie patria: - Odstránenie prekážok pre investície: Zjednodušenie regulačných rámcov a zníženie byrokracie s cieľom prilákať súkromných investorov. - Odstránenie regulácií cien energií, ktoré brzdia súkromné investície do obnoviteľných zdrojov. - Vytvorenie finančných stimulov: Zavedenie finančných nástrojov na nasmerovanie kapitálu do výskumu, vývoja a modernizácie energetickej infraštruktúry. - Postupné zrušenie dotácií: Odstránenie dotácií, ktoré vedú k narušeniu trhu. V publikácii popisujeme štruktúru slovenského trhu s energiami s dôrazom na výrobu a spotrebu elektrickej energie. Porovnávame rôzne scenáre budúceho rozvoja obnoviteľných zdrojov. Zameriavame sa na hlavné byrokratické prekážky výstavby a pripájania nových zdrojov.
A importância do inquérito policial à luz de um sistema acusatório de persecução penal
Authors: Damasceno Gabriela Garcia
Published: September 2024

O tema inquérito policial e sua finalidade nem sempre é tratado com a devida atenção pelos processualistas brasileiros. Limitando-se a uma análise superficial do instituto, até mesmo grandes autores deixaram de aprofundar no estudo da temática dessa ferramenta tão relevante para a garantia de um processo criminal justo. Sob a ótica comum, mesmo antes do advento da ordem constitucional democrática, o inquérito era estudado como procedimento administrativo preliminar responsável pela busca de elementos de prova acerca da autoria e materialidade delitiva. Entretanto, em que pese o surgimento do Estado Democrático de Direito já ser suficiente para que esse instituto fosse avaliado em conformidade com os valores constitucionais, foi na reforma promovida pelo Pacote Anticrime, com a adoção expressa de um sistema acusatório, que essas questões vieram a ser retomadas. O sistema acusatório é o modelo compatível com os princípios e valores fundamentais da pessoa humana que se encontram consolidados no Estado Democrático. Nessa lógica, o inquérito policial não pode ser visto como instituto alheio a tais valores, sob pena de se perder no anacronismo. Em verdade, a releitura do instituto é necessária e pulsante, principalmente quando diante de outras investigações, sendo realizadas sobretudo pelo Ministério Público, de uma forma concorrente e não colaborativa. Assim, a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo reforçar a importância do inquérito policial como garantidor do ideal da devida investigação penal e a necessidade de sua modernização, à luz dos princípios e garantias consagrados pela Constituição Federal. Para tanto, mediante uma pesquisa bibliográfica e utilizando-se de uma metodologia dedutiva, buscar-se-á tecer uma análise crítica de todas as características apontadas pela doutrina majoritária como sendo atributos do inquérito, permitindo uma real releitura do instituto; e, ainda, tecer apontamentos construtivos acerca das outras ferramentas de investigação preliminar, especialmente do procedimento de investigação criminal presidido pelo Ministério Público. Tal crítica não tem o condão de desprestigiar uma instituição em detrimento da outra, mas sim demonstrar a importância do trabalho colaborativo entre todos os entes que participam do sistema criminal de persecução penal.
Instrumentos de menor potencial ofensivo e uso diferenciado da força no desempenho do poder de polícia
Authors: Bustamante Rodrigo Macedo de
Published: September 2024

Este artigo foi elaborado a partir do estudo realizado no Trabalho de Conclusão do Curso de Altos Estudos de Política e Estratégia da Escola Superior de Guerra. Seu objetivo é analisar a eficácia da utilização do uso diferenciado da força pelos encarregados da aplicação da lei, por meio do armamento não letal, na redução da letalidade estatal e na preservação da integridade física dos cidadãos por intermédio da metodologia de pesquisa exploratória, com o tipo de abordagem qualitativa e a coleta de dados pelo molde bibliográfico. A sociologia do direito só muito recentemente começou a dedicar sua atenção para a questão dos direitos humanos que, até agora, era quase monopólio da teoria geral do direito, da filosofia do direito e do direito internacional. Assim, este artigo busca fazer uma análise dos direitos humanos e dos direitos fundamentais a fim de analisar onde pode ocorrer abuso de autoridade por policiais militares.
Padronização operacional da tramitação de cartas precatórias e a transposição de limites geográficos na atuação da Polícia Civil de Minas Gerais
Authors: Campos Fernanda Fernandes , Silva Adelino Pinheiro
Published: September 2024

A ferramenta administrativa que permite à Polícia Judiciária transpor seus limites geográficos é a carta precatória. Como envolve diferentes instituições, o estudo de cartas precatórias envolve as delimitações contidas em lei, gerando um vácuo na discussão da padronização dos procedimentos itinerantes de polícia judiciária. Neste cenário, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo propor elementos para padronização de tramitação de cartas precatórias na Polícia Civil de Minas Gerais, mais especificamente revisar a documentação vigente, coletar dados sobre as práticas em outras unidades da federação visando discutir as principais propostas. Como método utilizou-se da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Em síntese, constatou-se uma necessidade de centralização nos pontos de entrada e saída, em moldes similares ao adotado no estado do Mato Grosso, bem como atualização da normativa.
Da oralidade à escrita: análise da violência institucional na retextualização dos depoimentos em fase de inquérito policial
Authors: Timóteo Renata de Oliveira
Published: September 2024

A questão tratada neste artigo relaciona-se com marcas de subjetividade,ideologias estigmatizantes e violência institucional impressas no enunciado escrito quando da retextualização dos depoimentos em fase de inquérito policial. A hipótese defendida é de que há uma manipulação (consciente ou inconsciente) no resultado da passagem da narrativa oral para o texto escrito, tendo em vista a interiorização de aprendizados adquiridos no ambiente de convívio profissional, fomentadores de violência institucional. O problema em análise se relaciona com a forma como as dinâmicas culturais e ideológicas interferem na apuração de autoria e no controle do crime no contexto institucional brasileiro. Verificada a possibilidade de influência ideológica e violência institucional na retextualização, argumenta-se que na adoção do modelo de depoimento audiovisual pela Polícia Judiciária é possível reduzir este fenômeno, bem como minimizar outras formas de violência, tais como vitimização e revitimização das partes. Defende-se ainda, que o depoimento audiovisual contribuirá com a precisão, a celeridade e a transparência do conteúdo das declarações, permitindo assim a evolução da investigação criminal como um todo.
‘Remember the Maine!:’ The Spanish–American War Invades the Parlor
Authors:   Middle Georgia State University, Asbury Susan
Published: September 2024

Long before role-playing games or the popular first-person shooter games such as Hell Let Loose and Pavlov VR, people reenacted wars and global conflicts through tabletop board games, puzzles, and card games. Prior to World War II, no American conflicts were highlighted more in board and card games than the Spanish–American War and its offshoot, the Philippine– American War. Game designers joined other cultural producers such as journalists, novelists, and artists in crafting images of the battlefield for home front audiences. Between 1898 and 1902, the toy industry produced a multitude of games and puzzles focused on famous battles, military figures, and patriotism, informing both the public’s contemporary and historical understanding of these conflicts. Through an analysis of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century games depicting the Spanish–American and Philippine–American Wars, I argue that cultural producers used a variety of images, game-types, and instructions to lionize key military leaders, facilitate vicarious participation in the conflicts, and unify citizens on the questions about the wars and their consequences.
