THIRTY THREE (33) YEARS ON: AN ASSESSMENT OF ECOWAS TRADE LIBERALIZATION SCHEME AND ECONOMIC INTEGRATION IN THE WEST AFRICAN SUB-REGION
Authors: Uko E. Uwak , Ebong V. Edem 
Published: September 2023

The ECOWAS Trade Liberation Scheme (ETLS) is the main ECOWAS Operational tool in bringing a free trade area and economic interaction for the West African Sub-region. Although there are few minimal achievements of the scheme, there are a lot more obstacles bedevilled the full implementation of the scheme after 44 years it had been drawn up, and 33 years after it became fully operational. Therefore, the crux of this study was an assessment of whether the scheme has succeeded in the creation of a free trade area, customs union and economic integration in the West African sub-region. The study adopted the custom Union theory as the theoretical framework of analysis. The major finding of the work was that there cannot be a free trade area without any products to trade as the lack of export diversification has been one of the major obstacles to attaining a free trade area and economic integration in West Africa. Other findings included but were not limited to, the inadequacies of laid-down policies coupled with the constant circumvention of such policies, the absence of harmonization of policies and standards and much more. In the final analysis, the study recommended among others, the improvement in levels of production in individual member states through policies and programmes, eliminating of all forms of trade barriers as well as the private sector involvement in the decision-making and the implementation process of ECOWAS protocols and schemes for a fair representation of their interest.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0069/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

COMPUTER SCIENCE AND PRIMARY EDUCATION TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONS, IN USING DIGITAL GAMES AS LEARNING TOOLS. OBSTACLES AND FACTORS THAT LEAD TO THEIR EFFECTIVE USE
Authors: Kougioumtzidou Eleni , Botsoglou Kafenia , Zygouris Nikolaos 
Published: September 2023

Over the last decade, in addition to their entertainment dimension, digital games, have been used as teaching and learning tools. International literature has shown several studies that evaluate the effectiveness of digital games in the educational process. Many researchers argue that digital games can be of assistance to student’s learning and solving problems, as well as develop social and cognitive skills (Gee 2003, Prensky 2007, Oblinger &amp; Oblinger 2005, Watson et al. 2011). This research aimed to computer science teachers and primary education teacher’s perceptions, regarding the use of digital games, as a teaching and learning tool, the factors that make their use effective, not to mention the barriers to their use. One hundred twenty teachers participated (70 computer science teachers and 50 teachers), by completing a questionnaire of fifteen questions, on a Likert scale and two open-ended questions. Results demonstrated that both teachers and computer educators agree that the use of digital games is a "good" practice, which enhances and enriches the learning process, provides motivation, and is an effective learning tool. Their design should be addressed to students’ personal needs and be based on learning principles. However, it has been observed that computer educators are the ones who use digital games in their teaching, more often as opposed to teachers. The main obstacles that prevent teachers from using technology in their classrooms are the lack of infrastructure, motivation, training, as well as the time available. The elements that seem to be taken into consideration by a teacher, in order to capitalize on digital games in the educational process, are personal needs and students’ particularities, as well as preparation, feedback and the setting of limits by the teachers. Research findings could be utilized in both digital play use in education and in its development, as a learning tool.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0036/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Tham Hoang Thi 
Published: September 2023

After the successful August 1945 Revolution in Vietnam, the imperialist forces and reactionary henchmen in Vietnam conspired together to attempt to overthrow the newly established revolutionary government and destroy the achievements of the Vietnamese revolution. In this extremely dangerous situation, relying on the revolutionary momentum and strength of the newly liberated nation, the diplomatic struggle was soon deployed with clever and flexible strategies and measures that contributed to an important part in creating a temporary pause in order to maintain and strengthen the revolutionary government and to take advantage of preparing the strength for the national resistance war. The article focuses on clarifying the process of peaceful diplomatic struggle with Chiang Kai-shek's army in North Vietnam and stepping up the resistance against the French colonialists' re-invasion in South Vietnam by the Indochinese Communist Party and the Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. The process of diplomatic struggle was deferred with France, coming to a preliminary agreement on March 6, 1946, pushing Chiang Kai-shek's army out of Vietnam.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0056/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
QUESTIONING IF THE LITERARY NARRATIVE AND REAL-LIFE STORIES OVERLAP WITH TODAY'S REALITIES: THE EXAMPLE OF "ANNE WITH AN E" TV SERIAL
Authors: Pembecioğlu Nilüfer , Çomak Nebahat Akgün 
Published: September 2023

In this study, there are three key topics are explored and discussed. It is first and foremost vital to examine whether the series in question is appropriate for viewers who are older than eight years old. In the second evaluation, it is examined whether contemporary realities and literary narratives have any overlap. This implies that issues related to history, society, psychology, and modernity are approached from a fresh angle. Last but not least, it has to do with the potential social effects of adjusting historical tales to the present. This entails reassessing the past or historical narratives from the viewpoint of the present. However, the key inquiry is: How closely does a film's core meaning align with the meaning that is revealed after seeing it? What about a movie's relevance alters when it's watched again after some time? This study addresses the film-audience connection in two separate ways under the category of "meaning." The relationship between the meaning that viewers derive from the movie's content while watching it is the main topic of discussion. The second is the text's complementary meaning as revealed by its social, psychological, or historical elements.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0059/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Karshya means person having lean and thin body character without having any more complaints. Karshya is the disease comparable with undernutrition which can be Swatantra Vyadhi (independent disease) a normal phenomenon or it can also manifest along with other diseases as a prestige symptom of complication. It is an Apatarpana Janya Vyadhi (disease caused due to under nourishment) where Vata Dosha plays a very important role in the pathogenesis along with that vitiated Pitta. Vitiated Pachaka Pitta (sub type of Pitta- digestive enzymes) leads to Agni Dushti (impaired digestion) as a result of which the Dhatus are not nourished properly leading to Anuloma Karshaya (depletion of body tissues).
Acharya Charaka has well explained clinical symptoms of Karshya. He has explained causative factors in detail which are Aharaja (dietary), Viharaja (behavioural), and Manasika (psychological). “Rasayana therapy” is one of the eight clinical specialties of classical Ayurveda. The nutritional and nourishment deriving function of particular drugs or therapy are known as ‘Rasayana’ in Ayurveda. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera, fam. Solanaceae) is commonly known as ‘Indian Ginseng’. ‘Ashwagandha Rasayana’ is described as a herbal preparation that promotes a youthful state of physical and mental health. It is known as “Sattvic Kapha Rasayana” Herb (Changhadi, 1938). The various measures of Karshya and Rasayan chikitsa described in the dispersed manner in Ayurveda are collected, compiled and discussed in this research paper.
