Authors: Egolum Priscilla. U  , Onyeogubalu Ogochukwu. N  
Published: March 2021

Prospective investors in the Stock Exchange desire empirical based analysis of firms’ performance to guide their investment decisions. This study examined the impact of quantitative factor, dividend per share (DPS) on determination of share prices of the selected consumer goods firms listed in the Nigeria Stock Exchange over the period 2009-2018. One hypothesis anchoring on the impact of independent variable DPS on the share prices was formulated for testing in this study. Judgmental sampling technique was adopted in the study. Annual financial statements of the selected firms were used for the study. Ratio analysis, correlation and linear regression models were used to measure the impact of the independent variable on the Share price (SP), the dependent variable. Paired sample t-test was used to test the hypotheses at 5% level of significance. The empirical findings show that, there is a positive correlation between the independent variable (DPS). DPS is accountable for about 21.7% changes in the share prices of consumer goods firms listed in the Nigeria Stock Exchange. Investors are enjoined to carefully scrutinize the trend in the DPS of the consumer goods company listed in Nigeria Stock Exchange among other variables before investing their funds; doing so will lead them to making good and viable investment decisions. Management of the consumer goods firms should also strive to operate optimal dividend policy that will not be detrimental to the share price of its organization.
KEY WORDS:	Dividend per share, share price, Stock Exchange, consumer goods firms.

On the problem of typological research of the Russian phonetic system in a linguodidactic context
Authors: Бархударова Е.Л. 
Published: March 2021

В основе разработки курсов практической фонетики, адресованных иноязычной аудитории, лежит анализ типологического своеобразия фонетической системы изучаемого языка в контексте лингводидактики. К числу важных направлений типологического исследования звукового строя русского языка следует отнести, во-первых, изучение соотношения консонантизма и вокализма в его фонетической системе на иноязычном фоне, во-вторых, – анализ позиционных закономерностей русской фонетической системы в сопоставлении с функционированием звуковых единиц в типологически разных языках. В позиционных закономерностях звукового строя языка наиболее ярко проявляется его идиоматичность: в каждом языке позиционные закономерности носят специфический характер и определяются соотношением парадигматики и синтагматики звуковых единиц. Большое число фонологически значимых отклонений в иностранном акценте обусловлено интерферирующим воздействием позиционных закономерностей родного языка на русскую речь учащихся.
The development of practical phonetics courses addressed to a foreign audience is based on the analysis of the typological features of the phonetic system of the target language in the context of linguodidactics. It is necessary to designate two important areas of typological research of the sound structure of the Russian language: the study of the relationship of consonantism and vocalism in its phonetic system against a foreign language background and the analysis of positional rules of the Russian phonetic system in comparison with the functioning of sound units in typologically different languages. Idiomatic character of the language is most clearly manifested in the positional patterns of its sound structure. In each language, positional patterns are specific and are determined by the dominance of paradigmatic or syntagmatic relations of sound units. A large number of phonologically significant deviations in a foreign accent are due to the interfering influence of the positional laws of the native language on the Russian speech of students.
LINGUODIDACTIC APPROACHES TO TEACHING RUSSIAN WORD-FORMATION IN A FOREIGN AUDIENCE

Published: March 2021

Статья посвящена актуальным вопросам обучения иностранных учащихся русскому словообразованию. В ней рассматривается полипарадигмальность современной лингвистики, которая находит свое преломление в теории и практике преподавания РКИ в области русского словообразования. При доминирующей роли функционально-коммуникативного подхода к изучению и представлению языкового материала в аспекте РКИ продуктивным является обращение к методам когнитивной лингвистики и лингвокультурологии. Приводятся примеры использования таких единиц системы русского словообразования, как словообразовательная парадигма и словообразовательное гнездо в качестве базы для развития речи иностранных учащихся в рамках разговорных тем «Русская природа» и «Роль животных в жизни человека».
The article is about topical issues of teaching Russian word-formation to foreign students. Polyparadigmatic approach of Modern Linguistics is applied to the theory and practice of teaching Russian as a foreign language, particularly Russian word-formation. Allthough the functional-communicative approach to the study and presentation of language material in the aspect of Russian as a foreign language has the dominant position, it is productive to turn to the methods of cognitive linguistics and linguoculturology. Russian word-formation system units such as the word-formation paradigm and the word-formation nest are used as a basis for the development of foreign students' speech within such conversation topics as «Russian Nature» and «The role of animals in Human life».
WHY COMMUNICATIVE-FUNCTIONAL APPROACH TOWARDS TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGE FOR SPECIAL PURPOSES TO HAS TO BE COGNITIVE-FUNCTIONAL
Authors: Сидорова М.Ю. , Хапчаев Ш.Ю. 
Published: March 2021

С опорой на мировые исследования и собственный опыт авторов обосновывается необходимость взаимосвязанного развития коммуникативной и когнитивной компетенций при обучении иностранных студентов русскому языку специальности. Поскольку цель преподавания научных дисциплин в современной международной практике видится как обучение студентов «думать и говорить как ученые», а обучение языку специальности служит средством достижения этой цели, в основе текстовой деятельности на занятиях по языку специальности должно лежать понимание преподавателем того, какие когнитивные, а не только коммуникативные потребности обслуживает тот или иной текст. Принципы работы, отвечающей данному требованию, демонстрируются на примере описаний биологического вида.
Basing on international research and our own experience we argue for the necessity of interrelated development of both communicative and cognitive competence while teaching Russian for special purposes to foreign students. As the goal of teaching science in the state-of-the-art international practice is formulated as «teaching to speak and think as scientists» and teaching language for special purposes is a vehicle to achieve this goal, text activities in the language for special purposes class should be prompted by the teacher’s understanding of not only communicative but also cognitive tasks to be fulfilled by the text. Description of biological species is used to demonstrate the teaching principles meeting this requirement.

PENCEGAHAN TERBENTUK NYA PRODUK SCALE PADA PIPA PRODUKSI AREA MINAS DENGAN INJEKSI CHEMICAL SCALE INHIBITOR
Authors: MUSMULIADI  
Published: March 2021

Scale is a collection of deposits that become crusted and can cover holes, production tubes and valves so as to block the flow of fluid. Scale can reduce the diameter of the production pipe and cause the fluid flow to decrease so that the amount of production is reduced. In addition, the existence of a scale can cause an increase in pressure in the pipe, if the scale is too large it can cause the production pipe to burst. For that we need treatment for the scale case that occurs, how to overcome and reduce the possibility of scale formation on the inside of the pipe.
In the production facility, problems that can interfere with the distribution of crude oil (crude oil) are often encountered. This is generally caused by the formation of deposits (scale) along the distribution pipe. Scale is a solid (crust) resulting from crystallization and deposition of mineral formations with bacteria produced together with oil and gas. The scale formation is predicted because the bacteria contained in petroleum are attached to the distribution pipe to form crystal clumps.
Land Rights and Improvement Investments Among Crop Farmers in Southwest, Nigeria
Authors: Oparinde Lawrence Olusola 
Published: March 2021

This study examined the effects of land rights on investment decisions of farmers and determinants of land rights as well as the impact of land rights on farm productivity in Southwest Nigeria. Multistage sampling process was used in the selection of 320 respondents for the study. Two-stage conditional maximum likelihood (2SCML) approach of multivariate probit regression model and Endogenous switching regression (ESR) model were used for the analysis of the collected data. The results of Average Treatment Effect on the Treated (ATT) estimates from ESR revealed that land rights increase farm productivity. This study further confirmed the importance of land rights in facilitating investment in soil-improving measures which subsequently leads to higher productivity. One of the policy implications emanating from this study suggests that having use and transfer rights as against use only rights goes a long way in enhancing investment in soil-improving or conservation measures.
Keywords: Crop, Investment, Land, Multivariate Probit Regression Model, Rights, Two-stage Conditional Maximum Likelihood.

Effectiveness of Anti-Corruption Agencies in East Africa: Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda
Authors: (ed.) AfriMAP 
Published: March 2021

With reportedly over USD50 billion lost annually through graft and illicit practices, combating corruption in Africa has been challenging. However, laws and policies at the continental, regional and national levels have been promulgated and enacted by African leaders. These initiatives have included the establishment of anti-corruption agencies mandated to tackle graft at national level, as well as coordinate bodies at regional and continental levels to ensure the harmonisation of normative standards and the adoption of best practices in the fight against corruption.
Yet, given the disparity between the apparent impunity enjoyed by public servants and the anti-corruption rhetoric of governments in the region, the effectiveness of these agencies is viewed with scepticism. This continent-wide study of anti-corruption agencies aims to gauge their relevance and effectiveness by assessing their independence, mandate, available resources, national ownership, capacities and strategic positioning. These surveys include evidence-based recommendations calling for stronger, more relevant and effective institutions that are directly aligned to regional and continental anti-corruption frameworks, such as the African Union Convention on Preventing and Combating Corruption (AUCPCC), which the three countries in this current report Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda have all ratified.

The family Asteraceae include large number of Centaurea species which have been applied in folk medicine. One of the family Asteraceae members is the Centaurea damascena which authentically been tested for its antibacterial and antioxidant activity as well as its toxicity. The aims of the study were to determine the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities and toxicity of methanolic plant extracts of Centaurea damascene. The methanolic extracts were screened for their antibacterial activity against nine bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 43300, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Micrococcus luteus ATCC 10240, and Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 12228, Escherichia coli ATCC 11293, Pseudomonas aerugino and Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter aerogenes ATCC 13048 and Salmonella typhi ATCC19430). The antibacterial activity was assessed by using the disc diffusion methods and the minimum inhibition concentrations (MIC) using microdilution method. The extracts from Centaurea damascene possessed antibacterial activity against several of the tested microorganisms. The MIC of methanol extract of C. damascene ranged from 60–1100 µg/mL. Free radical scavenging capacity of the C. damascena methanol extract was calculated by DPPH and FRAP test. DPPH radicals were scavenged with an IC50 value of 17.08 µg /ml. Antioxidant capacities obtained by the FRAP was 51.9 and expressed in mg Trolox g-1 dry weight. The total phenolic compounds of the methanol extracts of aerial parts, as estimated by Folin–Ciocalteu reagent method, was about 460 mg GAE/ g. The phenolic contents in the extracts highly correlate with their antioxidant activity, (R2 = 0.976) confirming that the antioxidant activity of this plant extracts is considerably phenolic contents-dependent
