DEVELOPING GOOD MORAL SEXUAL BEHAVIOURS AMONG UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATES IN NIGERIA: THE ROLE OF RELIGION
Authors: F. M. Dr. (Mrs.) Osalusi, , R. A. Dr. Alonge, 
Published: August 2018

This paper examined the role of religion in the development of good moral sexual behaviours among University Undergraduates. In Nigeria, sex issues are considered as sacred and usually attached with a myth, however, observations have shown in recent times that these good virtues have been eroded among university undergraduates in Southwest, Nigeria. These category of students now exhibit unwholesome sexual behaviours such as lesbianism, homosexuality, adultery, indecent dressing, masturbation among others and this is considered a serious threat to national development. Therefore, to address this issue, a descriptive research of the survey type was adopted for the study while three hypotheses were tested. Â The population consisted of all unmarried undergraduates in all the universities in the Southwest geo- political zone of Nigeria. A sample of 1581 respondents which was made up of 750 males and 831 female were selected employing multistage sampling procedure. A simple random sampling technique was used to select three states out of six states in the Southwest, Nigeria. Two universities each were selected through stratified random sampling from Federal, State and Private universities, while 265 students were also selected from each of the universities making a total of 1590. However, 9 students did not filled the questionnaire properly and were therefore rejected remaining 1581 as sample. Â Â Â A self-designed questionnaire titled: â€˜Good Moral Sexual Behavioursâ€™ (GMSB) was used to collect data. The instrument is a 25-items four point- Liker type questionnaire. The findings revealed that religious inclination significantly influenced University undergraduatesâ€™ values and moral sexual behaviours. The study recommended among others that religious organisations should be encouraged to intensify their sermons on acceptable values in terms of moral sexual behaviours to members of their society. University authorities were also advised to come up with appropriate policies to curb the acts of indecentÂ and seductive dressing patterns common among university undergraduates.
The proliferation of informal sector activities in Congo: Case of the city of Brazzaville
Authors: KEVIN NZOUSSI , Feng Li Jiang 
Published: August 2018

The underground of the countries of Africa south of the Sahara is full of enormous potentialities and raw materials of all kinds. But the population of Africa in general and of Africa south of the Sahara, in particular, remains the poorest in the world. A contrast which can be justified by the political and economic instability, the corollary of which is poor management, the drop in the standard of living. The economic potential of these countries does not reflect the level of populations that generally languish in enormous poverty without real livelihoods. Beginning in the 1980s, a large-scale economic crisis shook virtually all African countries because of the stringent restrictions and measures imposed by the Bretton Woods institutions, notably the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. In order to cope with the increasingly difficult living conditions, the populations of which were the main victims, that is to say, the populations will gradually organize themselves and several activities will emerge. These activities are part of the informal sector. It is, therefore, a sector that brings together unemployed people looking for employment and societal well-being who organize themselves to face everyday problems. This means that it is a lucrative sector that is constantly absorbing unemployment in Congo in general and Brazzaville in particular.
â€œDissociationâ€ in Desmond Stewartâ€™s Leopard in the Grass
Authors: Al-Muttalibi Aziz Y. 
Published: August 2018

This paper intends toexplore â€˜dissociationâ€™ as the literary idea structuring Stewartâ€™s novel.(1) The paper discusses this organizing idea on both structural and thematic levels. Some allusions to parallel instances in contemporary fiction are worked out to enhance the narrative conclusions of the study.
In a strangely unique sense, Stewartâ€™s novel strikes a historical note in as much as the narrative events occur within the temporal span of the 1950s and a topographical reality in as much as the events and characters move on the soil of Cyropolisand Media names that respectively stand for Baghdad andIraq.
It may be noted that the imperial ideology is a sophisticated act. It has worked and flourished under the guises and assurances that the British arenot striving for so degrading thing as money.(2) Yet, this is one aspectof imperial reality. Another one is a sense of some painfully sought technical superiority that suffers when the intruders confront the alien. That some enlightened and non-prejudiced British individuals are disturbed by the devious workings of their own culture-patterns ultimately substantiates that dismaying destructiveness which damages the pretended uniformity of the group. But when the concept of cultural relativity is totally absent, we will have that dissociative act of racial conflict which is more damaging in its disruptive reality.
The Kind of analysis being shown here requires a thoroughly different approach from that of the model adopted in Barthes's "Textural Analysis" of Poe's tale: ''The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar''.(3)
Impact Of Short Selling In Financial Markets
Authors: Sharma Neha 
Published: August 2018

With the financial crisis gripping the stock market worldwide in the last few months of 2008, there have been widespread criticisms on the process of short selling. The opponents have questioned the existence of short selling and argued about the foul play of the short selling. Following such widespread campaigning, in order to boost the investors confidence short selling was either or restricted in most of the Western markets and in the Anglo-Saxon countries. Nevertheless, the financial experts and economists were divided in the opinion of anning short selling. Many argued that such ban will affect the market efficiency and disturb the market from operating freely and fairly. Hence the current research is about the impacts or the effects the ban on short selling have on the financial markets, especially the capital markets. This study focuses on finding such effects in a neutralised approach and free from bias to any side.
The research is compiled in such a way that, the literature review was conducted with an aim of uncovering the loop holes and functioning of short selling experts. Accordingly, the findings of the literature review are in the form of a list of key characteristics short selling possess which increases the efficiency of the system. These key characteristics are evaluated based on the stock price variations in the LSE. The conclusions are drawn based on the findings on the literature review and the analysis done on the stock price movements, crude oil price variation and a survey on the perception of short selling. Based on the findings, a set of commendations are made which will help in the further understanding of the short selling.

The aim of this study is to analyze the time, form and how the 108 goals scored and defeated according to the outbreak of 51 games played in the 2016 UEFA European Football Championship. The data of the study were obtained from Prozone brand performance and match analysis program. In the study, the team can not qualify of the group (n:8) and qualify of the group (n:16); the total number of goals scored, the time of goals, the formation of the goals, and the technique of the strokes used. The Independent Samples T-Test was applied to examine the difference between the groups in the SPSS 20.0 program (p<0.05). According to the average of goals per game meaningfulness was observed (p<0,001) there was a significant difference between the teams that qualified of the group (1.22Â±0.41) and those who did not (0.46Â±0.27). The time zones in the scored and conceded goals of the team qualified of the group and those who did not, significant differences were observed between groups at 0-15, 30-45, 45-60 min in scored goals (p<0.05), no significant difference was found other time periods. In the competition it was determined that most goals were between 75-90 min (1.50Â±1.26). While the significance of the goals scored from the left and the right sides among the groups was determined (p<0.05), it was not found goal from the middle (p<0.05).
Both in the penalty area and the penalty area outside goals, teams quaified of group were found to have more goals. According to results, in addition to increasing the tactical richness in the offensive area, the national teams and trainers must also prepare the team by analyzing the previous champions well so that the national teams can reach more goals in the championship.

The aim of the study was to determine the job satisfaction levels of the personnel who worked in sports organization. 285 randomly selected people who worked in sports organization participated in this study.Â A form for personal information and Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale (MSQ) developed by Weiss et al (1967) and checked for validity and reliability by Baycan (1985) were used in the study. Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis H and Dunnâ€™s multiple comparison tests were used for the analysis of the data. A significant difference was found among the groups in terms of their job satisfaction scores with increasing age in the statement of wages earned for the profession. Â Satisfaction levels in terms of wages showed significant difference as the educational levels of personnel decreased. It was stated that the personnel whose job satisfaction levels were generally moderate were not pleased in terms of payment and the chances for advancement. However, the personnelâ€™s job satisfaction scoresâ€™ being moderate shows that payment alone does not affect job satisfaction.Â

Published: August 2018

The purpose of this study was to compare the reported use of writing strategies of Iranian EFL learners in two different venues of technology-assisted and conventional writing classes. Overall, thirty two EFL students participated in this study, eighteen in a technology-assisted and fourteen in a conventional English class who responded to a 64-item Likert scaleÂ writing strategy inventory adapted from Wei and Chen (2004) and Griffiths and Jordan (2005). The results of the independent sample t-tests revealed that there was a statistically significant difference between the reported use of language-related writing strategies. The results of the paired-sample t-tests, in addition, demonstrated that just in the technology-assisted environment, there was a statistically significant difference for the constructs of language-related and organization strategies and writing experience. The results of this study could carry significant implications for technology-assisted writing instruction in EFL contexts.Â

Published: August 2018

The main objective of the study was to examine land tenure practices and their implications on the sustainability of the smallholder irrigation schemes in Zimbabwe. The different phases of land reforms in Zimbabwe have not been focusing on community irrigation schemes and the evolution of land rights. The farmersâ€™ ownership feelings were stronger for their dryland plots than they were on irrigation plots as the irrigation schemes were regarded as an off-farm employment while their dry-land plots were regarded as transgenerational family assets. Farmers had different perceptions about the security of tenure, inheritability, subletting and disposal of the irrigation plots. The differences in tenure practices and perception attested to the absence of land policy for community irrigation schemes. The existence of informal land markets in some schemes and their absence in others affirmed the Market for the Poor (M4P) assertion that where formal rules and their application are weak, the business environment is governed by the informal rules and the absence of both formalrules and informal institutions make the environment for markets dysfunctional.Â Some farmers felt theirrigation plots should remain state owned to allow smooth running of schemes and management of farmersâ€™ group dynamics of the irrigation. Some, however, felt the irrigation plots should be privately owned in order to allow farmers to invest and to access financial and input markets.Â
Errors That Occur from Using an Inappropriate Thermal Buffer When Monitoring the Storage Conditions of Temperature Sensitive Products: Size and Material DO Matter
Authors: Rusnack Michael Richard 
Published: August 2018

Common practice in the monitoring of cold chain conditions for temperature sensitive products is to employ a physical thermal buffer into which the temperature probe is inserted. This buffer may be a bottle of glycol or other liquid, a container of glass beads, aluminum block or nearly any other media the user feels appropriate. The purpose of the buffer is to simulate the experience of the stored product rather than the air temperature. Obviously, this mission will not be accomplished to the extent that the physical buffer is not matched to the thermal properties of the stored product and its container. Cold chain managers are faced with a complex problem if they attempt to take this issue into account. Furthermore, a match is not possible with a single physical buffer when the cold storage unit contains different products or size containers. This paper quantifies the results of this mismatch from various factors and suggests possible solutions to this dilemma.

Authors: Pontefract Benjamin , King Benjamin S. , King Cynthia A. , Gothard David M 
Published: August 2018

Purpose: Current literature supports that pharmacists effectively lower hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in diabetic patients. Little data exists on pharmacists’ effects on comorbidity management, patient satisfaction, or financial viability of these positions. This study looked to assess the impact of pharmacists on diabetes management compared to usual care.
Methods: This multi-site, two-part study includes a retrospective chart review of patients referred to the pharmacist versus usual care within a large academic health system. The pharmacists collaborated under a consult agreement with primary care physicians. The second part of the study assessed patient satisfaction through an abbreviated CG-CAHPS survey.
Results:A total of 206 patients with diabetes for an average of 12 years were included. The average patient age was 62 years with 60% of patients identifying as female and 81% as African-American. Patients were enrolled in a 2:1 fashion with 138 patients in the intervention group. Average baseline HbA1c was 10.1% in the intervention group and 9.3% in the control group (p= 0.0125). At 6 months, the mean change in HbA1c was -2.17% and 0.48% for the intervention and control groups respectively (p
Conclusion: Pharmacists are effective at lowering HbA1c in primary care clinics, and patients were highly satisfied with these services. While direct revenue from this service did not meet cost, the pharmacist did positively affect outcomes that contribute to reimbursement.

Klasifikasi jenis kejadian menggunakan kombinasi NeuroNER dan Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network pada data Twitter
Authors: Putra Fatra Nonggala , Fatichah Chastine 
Published: August 2018

Sistem deteksi kejadian dari data Twitter bertujuan untuk mendapatkan data secara real-time sebagai alternatif sistem deteksi kejadian yang murah. Penelitian tentang sistem deteksi kejadian telah dilakukan sebelumnya. Salah satu modul utama dari sistem deteksi kejadian adalah modul klasifikasi jenis kejadian. Informasi dapat diklasifikasikan sebagai kejadian penting jika memiliki entitas yang merepresentasikan di mana lokasi kejadian terjadi. Beberapa penelitian sebelumnya masih memanfaatkan fitur ‘buatan tangan’, maupun fitur model berbasis pipeline seperti n-gram sebagai penentuan fitur kunci klasifikasi yang tidak efektif dengan performa kurang optimal. Oleh karena itu, diusulkan penggabungan metode Neuro Named Entity Recognition (NeuroNER) dan klasifier Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network (RCNN) yang diharapkan dapat melakukan deteksi kejadian secara efektif dan optimal. Pertama, sistem melakukan pengenalan entitas bernama pada data tweet untuk mengenali entitas lokasi yang terdapat dalam teks tweet, karena informasi kejadian haruslah memiliki minimal satu entitas lokasi. Kedua, jika tweet terdeteksi memiliki entitas lokasi maka akan dilakukan proses klasifikasi kejadian menggunakan klasifier RCNN. Berdasarkan hasil uji coba, disimpulkan bahwa sistem deteksi kejadian menggunakan penggabungan NeuroNER dan RCNN bekerja dengan sangat baik dengan nilai rata-rata precision, recall, dan f-measure masing-masing 94,87%, 92,73%, dan 93,73%. The incident detection system from Twitter data aims to obtain real-time information as an alternative low-cost incident detection system. One of the main modules in the incident detection system is the classification module. Information is classified as important incident if it has an entity that represents where the incident occurred. Some previous studies still use 'handmade' features as well as feature-based pipeline models such as n-grams as the key features for classification which are deemed as ineffective. Therefore, this research propose a combination of Neuro Named Entity Recognition (NeuroNER) and Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network (RCNN) as an effective classification method for incident detection. First, the system perform named entity recognition to identify the location contained in the tweet text because the event information should have at least one location entity. Then, if the location is successfully identified, the incident will be classified using RCNN. Experimental result shows that the incident detection system using combination of NeuroNER and RCNN works very well with the average value of precision, recall, and f-measure 92.44%, 94.76%, and 93.53% respectively.

Published: August 2018

Listrik telah menjadi kebutuhan yang tidak terlepas dari kegiatan yang dilakukan oleh manusia sehari-hari. Penggunaan listrik mulai dari peralatan rumah tangga seperti kulkas, kipas angin, setrika, mixer, rice cooker hingga alat komunikasi seperti handphone, laptop dan berbagai macam alat eletronik lainnya sangat membutuhkan adanya energi listrik. Penggunaan tenaga listrik sekarang ini merupakan salah satu kebutuhan penting dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Batam merupakan salah satu kota besar yang ada di Indonesia. Daerah yang termasuk padat penduduk di Batam adalah daerah Batam Center. Kepadatan penduduk tersebut juga menyebabkan kebutuhan akan energi listrik menjadi sangat tinggi. Perusahaan sebagai penyedia sumber energi listrik di kota Batam adalah PT PLN Batam (b’right). Jika penduduk tidak bijak dalam menggunakan listrik, tentu saja akan sangat mempengaruhi menipisnya persediaan energi lstrik di Kota Batam itu sendiri. Untuk itu diperlukan suatu teknik untuk melakukan prediksi dalam penggunaan listrik rumah tangga agar tujuan dari pemerintah dalam upaya menerapkan program penghematan listrk tercapai. Teknik dalam melakukan prediksi dapat menggunakan teknik data mining dengan melakukan klasifikasi data dengan menggunakan Algoritma C4.5. Hasil dari perhitungan Algoritma C4.5 membentuk pohon keputusan dimana variabel jumlah anggota keluarga, luas bangunan rumah dan lama waktu di rumah menjadi variabel penting dari prediksi besarnya pengggunaan listrik. Pengujian dilakukan dengan Weka telah menghasilkan rule yang sama dari pohon keputusan yang terbentuk.
