Memorising and Reciting a Text without Understanding Its Meaning: A Multi-Faceted Consideration of This Practice with Particular Reference to the Qur’an
Authors: Gent Bill , Muhammad Abdullah
Published: July 2019

The joint activities of memorising and reciting the Arabic Qur’an are deeply embedded within Islamic tradition, culture and educational practice. Despite this, for many western non-Muslims, particularly those engaged in educational activity themselves, to learn that memorisation of the Arabic text of the Qur’an does not always—or, indeed, often—go hand-in-hand with understanding the meaning of the words can come as both a surprise and a shock. It is not uncommon to hear a response from such people to the effect that to memorise texts without understanding their meaning is pointless. There is also sometimes the implication that such practice in anachronistic: ‘behind the times’, as it were, and thus not worthy of serious consideration. This article is framed as a ‘general’ riposte to such a dismissive response in that its motivation lies not in straightforward apologetics (that is, defending the practice of memorisation without qualification and at all costs), but, rather, in bringing together a number of key elements (or factors) that cumulatively carry sufficient weight to challenge such a raw response, or at least to give pause for thought and promote a more informed consideration. Following a brief introduction that locates Qur’an memorisation and recitation within Islamic faith and practice, five facets will be explored: first, the growing recognition that there is not just one legitimate form of literacy but, rather, a plurality of literacies; second, the ambiguity within the concept of ‘meaning’ itself; third, an acknowledgement that memorisation has not only held an esteemed place in western history, but remains valued in some aspects of contemporary life and culture; fourth, a recognition of the emotional power of high-quality recitation, irrespective of a literal comprehension of the words being recited; and, finally, the growing body of research evidence that suggests that the involvement of Muslim children and young people in Qur’anic memorisation and recitation might very well equip them with valuable social and educational capital. The article will end with a brief personal account showing the complex position that a contemporary British Muslim ‘insider’—as individual, teacher and parent—has adopted towards his own and others’ practice of memorising the Qur’an. This account has been included to show that, within the Muslim community itself, different opinions are held about the weight and meaning to be placed on memorisation in general and on Qur’anic memorisation and recitation in particular.
Creating Sustainable and Climate Shared Value in Public Institution: Lessons from a Case of Korea Army Cadet Military School
Authors: Kwon Hyuck Shin , Park Hyun Chae
Published: July 2019

The Creating Shared Value (CSV) strategy that companies are adopting to make their own sustainable management possible and solve social problems no longer remains in the business model for corporations alone. Not only state-run companies, but also social enterprises are using CSV strategies as a part of their management strategies to attain social values and achieve remarkable results. However, the majority of CSV studies conducted so far focus on only corporations and their contents are mainly covered to identify the correlation between the independent variables and financial or non-financial performance from a business perspective. In this context, the purpose of the study is to identify how public organizations can enhance their core competitiveness by using CSV strategies. Utilized case-based research and document analysis method, the study analyzes CSV activities carried out spanning the period of 2017-2018 in Korea Army Cadet Military School (KACMS) from the public organization’s point of view. As a result, CSV strategies done by public organizations can improve the performances of unique tasks, improve the level of safety, human rights, and increase job satisfaction and morale. Additionally, the strategies can also improve the sustainability of the region, activate the local economy, and contribute to the conservation and betterment of the local environment. This study presents case-evidence that public organizations, like private companies, may also achieve their intended performance through CSV activities. The study provides guidance to expand the scope and subjects of CSR research theoretically, and may also contribute to exploring new approaches that can lead to co-prosperity among social components, in practice.
Les planéités «karstiques», genèse et intérêts morphogéniques : application au bassin de Ronda (Andalousie)
Authors: Delannoy Jean-Jacques
Published: July 2019

Las superficies karsticas. Genesis e interes morfogeneticos. Aplicaciona la cuenca de Ronda (Andalucia-Espana).

Este articulo tiene por objeto destacar las informaciones morfogenéticas contenidas en el karst. Las superficies de aplanamiento que habian llamado la atención de René Lhénaff durante sus investigaciones en las cordilleras béticas, centran esta articulo.

Estas superficies tienen la ventaja de contener une memoria doble ; la primera se refiere a las condiciones necesarias a su genesis y la segunda trata de la ruptura que, modificando radilcamente el funcionamiento kárstico, permite su conservación en el relieve. Esta conservación origina el concepto de immunidad frecuenmente associado a las morfologias kársticas.

Investigar las informaciones morfogéneticas contenidas en las superficies kàrsticas implica poder definir las condiciones de evolución y de conservación de estas formas. Estas condiciones se abordan mediante un acercamiento sistémico que présenta el intéres de situar el objeto de estudio en su entorno.

Después de haber definido las condiciones de evolución y de conservación de las superficies kársticas se propone una aplicación del valor morfogenetico del karst : la cuenca de Ronda (Andalucia) sobre la cual ha trajado René Lhénaff.
Cap Blanc-Nez, falaise de Sangatte et Calaisis : un tournant géomorphologique à l'Holocène récent
Authors: Sommé Jean
Published: July 2019

Entre le Pléistocène et l'Actuel, le trait de côte de la Mer du Nord compris entre le Cap Blanc-Nez et le Calaisis est passé d'une orientation WNW-ESE à une orientation WSW-ENE. L 'article fait le point sur les recherches qui permettent de rendre compte de cette évolution, en s 'appuyant sur l 'analyse des cordons littoraux anciens et des affleurement de tourbe dans la plaine du Calaisis. Trois phases d'évolution sont ainsi proposées : la falaise fossile de Sangatte est rapportée au Pléistocène moyen. Les cordons holocènes de sables et de galets qui marquent une avancée du trait de côte vers le nord sont attribués à la période Atlantique. C 'est donc au Subatlantique que le tracé actuel se met en place en liaison avec l 'activité tectonique et avec la morphodynamique littorale.
Processus d'érosion et mesure de l'ablation sur les versants gypseux du Petit Mont Blanc de Pralognan, vers 2500 m. (Vanoise, Alpes du Nord, France)
Authors: Rovéra Georges , Corona Christophe , Wlérick Lise
Published: July 2019

Dans leurs parties sommitales, vers 2500 m, les massifs gypseux de Vanoise ont des talus réglés par les processus d'érosion mécanique et la dissolution. Sur le Petit Mont Blanc de Pralognan (sommet à 2677 m), trois techniques employées sur 46 parcelles, de l 'été 2001 à l 'été 2002, ont permis de distinguer l 'action des processus physiques et chimique, et de mesurer les vitesses moyennes d'ablation suivantes, sur roche dénudée : 3 mm /an pour l'ablation globale, 1 mm /an pour celle provoquée par la dissolution et 2 mm /an pour celle attribuable aux processus mécaniques. L'importance de cette dernière valeur constitue l 'apport majeur de ces travaux. Afin d'améliorer la précision de ces mesures qui se poursuivent actuellement, une critique du protocole et des techniques utilisées est brièvement évoquée.
Aléa et risque torrentiel dans le Briançonnais (Alpes françaises du Sud)
Authors: Lahousse Philippe , Garitte Gilles , Thénard Lucas
Published: July 2019

Les populations des vallées briançonnaises de la Guisane et de la Clarée ont de tout temps été confrontées aux débordements torrentiels. Le risque n 'a cependant jamais été aussi important car avec la reconversion vers l'économie touristique, la vulnérabilité des sites sensibles s 'est largement accrue. Mais alors que les communes de la vallée de la Guisane ont fait le choix d'un tourisme de masse en créant la station de Serre-Chevalier, celles de la vallée de la Clarée ont préféré s 'en préserver en privilégiant le tourisme vert. Ces choix ont aujourd'hui une incidence sur la nature du risque torrentiel. Dans la vallée de la Guisane, le danger émane principalement des torrents latéraux qui menacent d'envahir leurs cônes de déjection densément urbanisés. Dans la basse vallée de la Clarée, les inquiétudes se portent plutôt sur les risques de submersion des terrains de camping par la rivière principale. D 'un côté comme de l 'autre, l 'aléa torrentiel représente donc une contrainte naturelle omniprésente. Dans un contexte de renforcement de la politique nationale de prévention des risques naturels, les services déconcentrés de l 'Etat ont pour charge de veiller à ce qu 'il en soit dorénavant mieux tenu compte dans la poursuite du développement économique de ces deux vallées briançonnaises.
L'évaluation des enjeux : base de l'analyse de la vulnérabilité des systèmes urbains. Conditions de reproduction de l'expérience niçoise
Authors: Lutoff Céline
Published: July 2019

Deux constats s 'imposent à l 'origine de cet article. 1) Les villes sont de plus en plus sensibles à tout phénomène naturel qui dépassent quelque peu les normes habituelles. 2) L 'évaluation des risques qui en résultent ne peut plus se borner à la seule estimation des dommages physiques potentiels pour pouvoir proposer des mesures de prévention adaptées. La méthode présentée ici cherche donc à répondre à ces deux exigences. Basée sur une approche systémique et sur le développement de la notion d'enjeux, elle aborde non seulement les aspects financiers mais aussi les perturbations humaines, économiques, fonctionnelles, patrimoniales et symboliques possibles en cas de séisme.
Traverser le Massif Central. Dynamiques d'ouverture et de fermeture
Authors: Varlet Jean
Published: July 2019

A en juger par les représentations individuelles et collectives, l'idée de traverser le Massif Central engendre des réactions quasi-épidermiques, soit négatives par les populations allochtones qui la considèrent comme illusoire, soit positives par les populations autochtones qui entonnent très régulièrement le refrain de demande de désenclavement.

Au-delà des clichés révélateurs des perceptions de faits géographiques, il apparaît, à l'analyse, que ce bloc de hautes terres considéré comme répulsif est désormais, ou va bientôt être, traversé de part en part dans des conditions de performance équivalentes à celles des autres régions ; que les phénomènes d'ouverture se sont produits à plusieurs reprises au cours de l'histoire, entrecoupés de périodes de fermeture ; et qu 'à cette dynamique sur le temps long sont associés à la fois des causes politiques, économiques, techniques ou encore mentales, selon les cas, et des facteurs de position par rapport à des pôles majeurs.
Les nouvelles traversées andines. De la montagne-obstacle à la montagne-interface ?
Authors: Amilhat-Szary Anne-Laure
Published: July 2019

Après avoir constitué le coeur du continent latino-américain à l'époque précolombienne, les Andes ont été marginalisées dans l'exploitation et la mise en valeur de ce territoire sous la colonisation hispanique puis dans les processus de construction nationale du XIXe siècle. Marqués par une tentative d'industrialisation rapide, les pays dits «andins» ont continué à tourner le dos à la Cordillère pendant la majeure partie du XXe siècle.

On assiste depuis une dizaine d'année à un apparent retournement de l'espace andin, mis au service de la façade pacifique du continent par l'ouverture rapide de nouvelles routes traversantes. L 'attrait du potentiel économique de la zone asiatique émergente joue bien plus dans ces dynamiques que l'évolution propre de la zone andine. Dans le même temps, on a observé des dynamiques démographiques contradictoires témoignant à la fois d'un exode rural fort et d'un solde naturel avec, dans certains des pays considérés, des zones intensément peuplées posant de graves problèmes d'intégration politique, économique et sociale. Les routes transcordilléranes se sont multipliées. Le plus souvent, leurs tracés ne sont pas inédits, les travaux consistant à asphalter des pistes existantes. Les gazoducs et lignes à haute tension se multipliant eux aussi. Seul le réseau ferré reste à la traîne, souffrant d'archaïsmes importants. Les différents pays concernés ont connu des processus de décentralisation administrative plus ou moins poussés. Si l'accessibilité des zones considérées a été considérablement améliorée, quel est le véritable bilan social, économique, politique, environnemental de ces nouvelles percées andines ?
Montagnes et espaces nationaux post-soviétiques en Asie Centrale (Kirghizstan, Tadjikistan, Ouzbékistan)
Authors: Thorez Julien
Published: July 2019

L'Asie centrale connaît de profondes évolutions géographiques liées notamment à la remise en cause du système soviétique de production et d'échanges, depuis la disparition de l'URSS et l'apparition de nouveaux états indépendants. Compte tenu du tracé des frontières et des fermetures relatives de celles-ci, la traversée des montagnes (Tian-Chan, Pamir) est devenue une nécessité pour l'unité des espaces nationaux. Or, dans le contexte de la transformation post-soviétique, l'essentiel de la circulation, y compris intrarépublicaine, se faisait sur les piémonts. Les montagnes entravent la circulation intra-nationale de sorte que les espaces nationaux sont écartelés et que se développe un enclavement saisonnier, en particulier au Tadjikistan. La réorientation des flux place les montagnes au coeur des espaces nationaux post-soviétiques.
Arrêt 1 -Le bassin de Bonneville. (Belvédère d'Evires - La Roche sur Foron)
Authors: Nicoud Gérard , Coutterand Sylvain
Published: July 2019

Il ghiacciaio dell 'Arve ha modellato la vasta depressione di Bonneville , estesa tra il verrou del Salèvre a valle e il passo-verrou da Cluses a Magland a monte. La deglaciazione ha awuto luogo in 8 tappe ben identificabili, con lo sviluppo di tipiche forme e dei relativi depositi associati (terrazzidi kame, depositi fluvio-glaciali, fronti morenici, sedimenti glacio-lacustri...). Lo stadio di Rocailles è il più conosciuto caratterizzato da un importante crollo roccioso sul fianco sinistro délia valle, traslato su una quindicina di kilometri. Quanto all 'ultimo stadio riconosciuto, quello d'Arenthon, è caratterizzo dallo sviluppo di un importante lago, con acque che superavano il centinaio di metri di profondità (delta di Marignier).

La conca di sovraescavazione glaciale di Sallanches, tra la soglia di Magland a valle e il verrou di Gurres a monte, ha registrato due importanti tappe délia deglaciazione, con due stadi a Magland e quattro stadi verso il Fayet. Questi stadi sono confermati dalla presenza di cordoni morenici laterali o da depositi di kame. Le fronti glaciali erano sommerse da specchi d'acqua generati successivamente al ritiro dei ghiacciai. Anche in questi casi, la pro-fondità dell 'acqua superava il centinaio di metri. Tutta l'organizzazione delle unità che colmano il fondovalle è controllata dalla dinamica lacustre.
Arrêt 2 -Formes et dépôts de la glaciation pléistocène dans la moyenne Vallée d'Aoste (Carrière de la Plantaz)
Authors: Giardino Marco
Published: July 2019

Nel tratto délia media Valle d'Aosta, l'escursione prende in esame le tracce delle fasi di ritiro pleistoceniche superiori del grande ghiacciaio balteo. Si tratta delle testimonianze di due oscillazioni immediatamente successive alla massima espansione dell'ultima glaciazione, indicate rispettivamente come Unità di Bard e di Fenis. Entrambe sono rappresentate da depositi glaciali di fondo e di ablazione e da superfici in roccia modellate a varia quota, legate al progressivo approfondimento operato dal ghiacciaio balteo durante le fasi di ritiro dell'ultima glaciazione. A livello locale, sul versante sinistro fra il fondovalle di Quart e la cima di Croce di Fana, vengono presentati i dati del rilevamento delle formazioni superficiali e se ne confronta la distribuzione con quella delle principali unità di modellamento individuate alla scala dell'intero bacino délia Dora Baltea. Ne risulta una anomalia, probabilmente dovuta a deformazioni superficiali awenute da contemporaneamente a successivamente alla deposizione délia successione stratigrafica locale.

De la relation entre transport et lieux touristiques
Authors: Duhamel Philippe
Published: July 2019

Creation and development of tourist places depend, according to some people, only on transports, the latter being a sine qua non condition. This mechanical relation surprises us as it seems that tourist places dynamic is not just the concern of accessibility but a matter for a more complex system. Thus, the aim is not to contest the role of transports but to wonder more about the relation maintained by those two elements and to observe how, with the passing years, transports and tourism are linked. The intention is not to present research results, but to show the formalization of some questions and observations.
Le Point Afrique, acteur majeur du transport aérien et du développement touristique en Afrique saharo-sahélienne
Authors: Lecoquierre Bruno
Published: July 2019

Depuis le milieu des années 1990, la crise du tourisme en Algérie, liée au début de la guerre civile, ainsi que la crise du transport aérien en Afrique occidentale ont permis l'apparition de nouveaux acteurs dans ces deux domaines. La coopérative française le Point Afrique, fondée en 1995 avec l'ouverture d'une ligne aérienne Paris-Gao, a été l'un des tout premiers opérateurs à s'intéresser à ces deux marchés de manière complémentaire, l'offre touristique permettant de conforter les lignes aériennes mises en place vers quelques portes d'accès au tourisme saharien (la principale étant Atar en Mauritanie). La structure juridique de coopérative du Point Afrique place celui-ci en marge du secteur concurrentiel et lui permet de proposer des tarifs aériens nettement inférieurs à ceux des compagnies régulières.

Au-delà du tourisme saharien, le Point Afrique a ouvert progressivement des lignes vers la plupart des capitales ouest-africaines francophones afin de mettre fin au monopole de fait d'Air-France, parfois à la demande des gouvernements eux-mêmes. Le Point Afrique, cependant, n'est pas une compagnie aérienne et doit affréter des avions pour desservir ces lignes, en assumant seul le risque des affrètements. Pour le Point Afrique, la question est désormais de savoir jusqu 'à quel point son activité pourra être développée sans remettre en question les spécificités qui ont fondé son succès...
Transports par câbles et sports d'hiver : approche géographique de la dynamique territoriale du tourisme et des loisirs en espace montagnard
Authors: Hélion Christian
Published: July 2019

Comment, à partir de l'analyse de ce type de transport particulier que sont les transports par câbles, est-il possible d'appréhender la dynamique territoriale touristique des espaces concernés ? Les remontées mécaniques sont en effet très liées au tourisme, spécialement en montagne. Le ski est le seul sport qui ait créé un tel développement d'infrastructures touristiques dans le monde. Des milliers d'appareils, toujours plus performants, sont ainsi capables de transporter des millions de personnes pendant la saison d'hiver.

Ces engins permettent une diffusion touristique au fur et à mesure de la création et de l 'extension des domaines skiables qui prend des formes diverses : desserte des hauts sommets, multiplication de stations satellites, connexions interdomaines créant des unités de massif, jonction à des noyaux villageois ou urbains tendant vers une redescente en vallée...

Mais ils questionnent aussi sur les pratiques des visiteurs, sur le fonctionnement des lieux en nous interrogeant notamment sur la part entre tourisme et loisirs des utilisateurs locaux, enfin sur la pérennité du tourisme, avec la disparition de quelques sites ou leur transformation en lieu de vie.
Structuration et dynamiques du tourisme de croisière dans le Bassin caraïbe
Authors: Hartog Thierry , Ranély Vergé-Dépré Colette
Published: July 2019

Le Bassin caraïbe constitue le premier bassin de croisière au monde. La diversité de ses atouts, tant naturels que culturels, et la proximité du foyer états-unien l 'expliquent aisément. La structuration de cet espace s'appuie sur quelques ports-bases incontournables (Miami, Port Everglades, San Juan) à partir desquels se sont construits des circuits qui ont longtemps privilégié la partie septentrionale du bassin. Largement déterminé par le jeu concurrentiel des compagnies majoritairement états-uniennes, le triangle lourd délimité par les Bahamas, les îles Vierges américaines et Miami, s'est d'abord dédoublé sur ses flancs occidental (jusqu'au Yucatan) et oriental (incluant Sint-Maarten). Il s'est ensuite prolongé par l'affirmation de logiques linéaires et ponctuelles, intégrant l'arc des Petites Antilles et touchant les bordures continentales et méridionales de ce bassin. Cette structuration globale trouve dans les escales d'incontournables points d'appui portuaires et terrestres. Sans réelle maîtrise de cette activité touristique, ces touchers éphémères connaissent aujourd'hui des destins variés dont la longévité est proportionnelle à leur degré de dépendance.

Dans ce système complexe d'interactions entre compagnies, flottes, circuits et attentes de clientèles de plus en plus exigeantes, le Bassin caraïbe est sans cesse confronté à de nouvelles dynamiques multiformes.
Ressource touristique et enjeux territoriaux évolution et re-définition de la route touristique des gorges de l'Ardèche
Authors: Duval-Massaloux Mélanie
Published: July 2019

Considérant l'environnement du sud Ardèche, la route touristique des gorges fait figure d'axe structurant à plus d'un titre. Axe routier surplombant les falaises, elle donne à voir les gorges jusque là réservées à un nombre limité d'initiés. Dès le projet de construction, ces perspectives esthétiques s 'associent à des visées économiques, l'un des objectifs majeurs étant de capter les flux touristiques empruntant l'axe de la vallée du Rhône. Rapidement, cette fonction de distribution des flux va se traduire par une dissociation des plateaux rive gauche et rive droite, l'essentiel de l'activité se concentrant aux abords de la route touristique, essentiellement autour des noyaux préexistants, Vallon-Pont-d'Arc et Saint-Martin-d' Ardèche.

Cette fonction structurante se retrouve dans la mise en place des mesures de préservation des gorges. Par un jeu de prévention/compensation, sa construction a alimenté une réflexion en terme de protection des paysages, amenant à la création de la réserve naturelle en 1980.

Facteur de développement touristique et élément déclencheur des politiques de protection de l'environnement, la route touristique apparaît comme un axe structurant complexe autour duquel se greffent des politiques de réhabilitation aux orientations multiples. Ainsi, s'il est dans un premier temps question de corriger des modes de circulation, cette route est peu à peu envisagée comme levier de transformation des pratiques touristiques, dans la perspective plus générale d'asseoir la lisibilité du territoire des «gorges de l 'Ardèche».
REWARD SYSTEM AND ACADEMIC STAFF JOB INVOLVEMENT IN OGUN STATE TERTIARY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
Authors: Adekunle Akeem Ayotunde
Published: July 2019

This study investigated the relationship between reward system and job involvement of academic staff in Ogun State tertiary educational institutions. The study was guided by a research question and two null hypotheses. The descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The population comprised all the 3055 academic staff in all the eight Ogun state government owned tertiary educational institutions. The sample comprised 305 academic staff (10% of the population) selected from four tertiary educational institutions using multi-stage sampling technique. Two instruments were used for data collection, these were: a researcher designed, validated and reliable instrument (r=.86) entitled “Reward System Questionnaire” (RSQ) and a standardised Job Involvement Scale (JIS) adapted from Kanungo (1982). Data obtained was analysed using Mean and Standard Deviation to answer the research question, while, Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings showed that the reward system for academic staff in the institutions was inadequate (weighted mean = 1.44); that a significant relationship existed between financial rewards and job involvement of academic staff (r=.503;P<.05; df=303) and that there was a significant relationship between non-financial rewards and job involvement of academic staff (r=.712;P<.05;df= 303). It was recommended among others that the state government should increase financial allocations to its higher educational institutions and ensure that subventions are released on time to the institutions.

Authors: Abidoye Florence Omosholape
Published: July 2019

The objective of this study was to determine the perception of science teachers towards science teaching in senior secondary schools in Lagos State, Nigeria. Specifically, the study determined the perception of science teachers towards science teaching on the basis of their gender and years of teaching experience. It was a survey research in which simple random sampling technique was used to select 275 science teachers from secondary schools in Lagos state, Nigeria. Two hundred and eight five Science teachers were sampled from senior secondary schools, of the 285 questionnaires distributed, 275 were retrieved. The data collected were analyzed using frequency count, percentages and t-test. These were used to answer the research questions and also test the hypotheses. The findings of the study showed that: (i) science teachers generally had positive perception towards science teaching (tcal.= 20.43 at p < 0.05);  (ii)  there was no significant difference in the perception of science teachers towards science teaching based on their gender (tcal.= 0.39 at p > 0.05); and (iii) there was no significant difference in the perception of science teachers towards science teaching based on their years of teaching experience (tcal.= 1.40 at p > 0.05). The implications are discussed.
SELF CONCEPT, PARENTAL SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AMONG SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN KEBBI STATE, NIGERIA
Authors: Aliero Haruna Sani
Published: July 2019

The main thrust of the paper is to determine if there is any significant difference between socio – economic status, self-concept and academic performance of SS1 students in Kebbi State. The sample was made up of 360 (180 boys and 180 girls) drawn from the population of senior secondary school one (S.S.I) from six Senior Secondary Schools in Kebbi State. Akinboye’s Adolescent Personal Data Inventory (APDI) by Akinboye (1985) and the Adopted version of Parental Socio- Economic Status Questionnaire (PSESQ) by Adegoke (1987) were used to measure Self-concept and Parental Socio-economic Status respectively. The reliability coefficient of the instruments was (0.85 and 0.79) for APDI and (0.82 and 0.78) for PSESQ respectively. Academic Performance was obtained using the students’ scores in English Language and Mathematics in the Junior Secondary School Certificate Examination of 2015/2016 session. Two hypotheses were generated and tested using t- test. The findings of the study indicated that there was significant difference between Parental Socio-economic Status and Academic Achievement. There was also significant difference between Self-concept and Academic Performance of students. The findings were discussed and their implications and recommendations highlighted. It was recommended that teaching became more meaningful when pupils are assisted to build a positive self-concept. Similarly, parents should show more concern in helping their children develop positive self-concept. Teachers should also take into consideration the socio-economic background of their students.
PSYCHOSOCIAL CORRELATES OF CAREER MATURITY OF SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS IN SOKOTO METROPOLIS, SOKOTO STATE, NIGERIA
Authors: Mustapha Fatai , Abdullahi Issa Gaata , Joseph Benret Ringpon
Published: July 2019

The study investigated psychosocial correlates of career maturity of secondary school teachers in Sokoto metropolis. The population of the study was all 1,298 teachers in 25 public secondary schools in Sokoto metropolis. The sample size of 297 teachers was selected using proportionate random sampling technique. Three instruments were used for data collection. They include an adopted version of Jung’s Typology Test (16Personality Questionnaire) to measure personality type. The instrument was validated by experts in counselling and measurement at Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, and co-efficient of 0.68 was returned for the instrument when it was tested for reliability. The second instrument as Bakare’s Vocational Interest Inventory (VII) that was used to measure vocational interest of the respondents and its validity and reliability were obtained and documented by Bakare, The third instrument was Tambawal’s (2001) Career Maturity Inventory Attitude Scale (CMIAS) used to measure teachers’ career maturity which was validated and its reliability was obtained by Tambawal. Three research hypotheses were formulated and tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Co-efficient, and Multiple Regression analysis at 0.05 level of significance. The study found significant relationship between career interest and career maturity of secondary school teachers, but found no significant difference between personality and career maturity of secondary school teachers. The study recommended that Sokoto state chapter of Counselling Association of Nigeria (CASSON) should, on a regular basis, organise seminars, workshops and symposia for teachers to furnish them with information on the types of personality that fit different careers and how they can manage their personality to grow in their chosen careers.
On the validity of the Capital Asset Pricing Model
Authors: Naqvi Hassan
Published: July 2019

One of the most important developments of modern finance is the
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) of Sharpe, Lintner and Mossin.
Although the model has been the subject of several academic papers, it is
still exposed to theoretical and empirical criticisms.
The CAPM is based on Markowitz’s (1959) mean variance analysis.
Markowitz demonstrated that rational investors would hold assets, which
offer the highest possible return for a given level of risk, or conversely assets
with the minimum level of risk for a specific level of return.
Foreign Capital and Economic Performance of Pakistan
Authors: Hang Le Minh , Ataullah Ali
Published: July 2019

This paper reviews the trends of two types of foreign capital
inflows, namely foreign aid and foreign private investment, to Pakistan.
Like other developing countries, the volume of foreign aid to Pakistan has
been decreasing. Meanwhile foreign private investment to Pakistan has
increased, though not as sharply as that to other developing Asian
countries. The study finds that the impacts of foreign capital, aid and
private investment on the economic performance of Pakistan have been
insignificant. This paper suggests that these consequences are due to the
inadequate development of domestic institutional structure, human capital,
and indigenous entrepreneurship.

Introduction
As societies grapple with incorporating the concepts of gender
equality and gender sensitivity, female decision making is quickly losing its
designation as a peripheral issue. Indeed the United Nations Division for the
Advancement of Women in support of the Commission on the Status of
Women has been exploring the question of women and decision making for
some time. In 1997 it called upon governments to take into consideration
diverse decision making styles and to enhance the images of women in
political and public spheres [UN, (2000)].
Private Schooling - A Quality Puzzle
Authors: Ali Karamat , Ejaz Ali Khan Rana
Published: July 2019

Primary school enrollment rates in Pakistan are lower than in other
countries at the same level of economic development. The proportion of
children reaching grade 5 is about half that in Sri Lanka and China and
three-quarter that in India. Nationally, the gross primary school ratio is 74,
and 101 for boys and 45 for girls. According to the National Education
Policy 1992-2002, the target of literacy rate was set at 70 percent by the
year 2002, which was achievable besides other measures, by inviting the
private sector into education. Now, overall, private education accounts for
about 10-12 percent of gross enrollments. The government of Pakistan has
established a goal of universal primary enrollment by the year 2006. In the
present study the quality characteristics of private schooling are discussed,
i.e. qualitative aspects of schools, physical infrastructure of schools, teachers’
qualification and salaries, and fee, dropout rate, and repletion rate of the
students, etc.
