EFFECTS OF CLIMATIC VARIATIONS ON THE SPREAD AND OUTBREAK OF NEWCASTLE DISEASE. A CRITICAL LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Abdul M 
Published: January 2023

Purpose: Poultry plays a key role in the lives of the poor rural population in developing countries. Poultry production is constrained especially among small scale farmers due to Newcastle Disease. This study aimed to investigate the underlying climatic variables and other factors that contributed to the seasonal outbreak and spread of ND. It also examined the socio-economic impacts of ND to the small scale poultry farmers and various strategies that had been put in place to manage this disease.
Methodology: The paper used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes and to extract knowledge gaps
Conclusion: The research concludes that there is a relationship between climate variables and ND. Poultry farmers got many benefits from keeping of free range indigenous chicken. These included income, food (eggs and meat) and also source of self-employment. From the study, it was found out that farmers use different methods to control the disease. These include use of traditional herbs such as grounded garlic mixed with water; grounded aloe mixed water, fresh milk and grounded mangoes.
Recommendations: The government should employ more extension officers and decentralize veterinary offices to the sub-location levels so as to bring services to the farmer. This will enable farmers to get technical assistance without travelling long distances. Establish quarantine system to curb the spread of the disease and also establish a slaughter house to allow inspection. This will ensure that only healthy chicken are sold to consumers among others.
Linking the Peace-loving Nature of Ghanaians to Traditional Peace Educational Practices: Myth or Reality?
Authors: Benson G.H 
Published: January 2023

Purpose: The 2013 version of the International Day of Peace was dedicated to peace education, by way of drawing the attention of the international community to the pre-eminence of peace education as that channel of achieving the much sort for global culture of peace. Before then, many countries notably Ghana, had long been in the process of cultivating the culture of peace via the practices of peace education within the traditional setting, even if in its remotest form. In large part, Ghanaians are peace-loving people, attributable to the traditional peace education lessons that children receive from parents and the society at their formative stages. This study in examining this assertion, also seeks to determine to what extent peace educational practices in both the traditional and global senses, have shaped the Ghanaian peace-loving nature.
Methodology: The study adopted the quantitative approach where semi-structured questionnaires were administered to 1450 randomly selected respondents across Ghana. The age range of respondents which are between 10 and 60 and above, comprise 1019 (70.3 %) males and 431 (29.7 %) females from all walks of life.
Findings: The study while empirically evidencing that Ghanaians are peace-loving people, also established a link between this peace culture and the basic lessons children receive from parents and the society at their formative stages, about peace.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The paper calls on the government of Ghana in particular and other peace education actors in general, to work assiduously towards the effective blending of traditional (informal) and global (formal) peace educational practices within Ghana, as well as, enhance peace education in the country by building the capacity of communities and schools in financial, technical, and logistical terms. Indeed, this paper which is the first-ever study into traditional peace education in Ghana, uniquely adds to academic literature and serves as a useful guide for practitioners and policy makers in the study area.

Published: January 2023

Purpose: This paper empirically analyses the performance of smart beta exchange traded funds (ETFs) through the absolute return, relative return, and risk-adjusted return over the decade from 2009 to 2019.
Methodology: Using a sample of smart beta ETFs in the U.S. stock market, we examine the components of the risk factors in a smart beta strategy.
Results: Our results show that a smart beta strategy is not able to maintain a persistent performance over the period examined. Moreover, there is not a single year that smart beta ETFs could generate an abnormal return that is statistically significant. The evidence illustrates that returns of smart beta ETFs do not significantly beat the S&P 500 market benchmark on an absolute, relative, and risk-adjusted return basis.

Authors: Mayungbo Olusegun Adedamola , Akingbade Retta , Ademoyewa Adebimpe , Sunmola Adegbenga M 
Published: January 2023

Purpose: The present study examines the joint and independent influence of violence against women, self esteem and personality factors on subjective happiness.
Methodology:The study adopted a cross sectional research design and a purposive sampling approach in the selection of participants. Three hundred and two university students were selected from two Institutions. Data was collected through the administration of a structured questionnaire on socio-demographic profile, violence against Women scale, self esteem scale, personality scale and subjective happiness scale to participants. Retrieved data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, t- test analysis and regression analysis at 0.05 level of significance.
Results reveal that VAW independently influenced subjective happiness and there is a joint prediction of VAW, self esteem and personality factors on subjective happiness(R2 =.14; F= 6.92; P< .05) . Thus, this study has implications for intervention to prevent women from violence being perpetrated against them in order to ensure their subjective happiness or ensure they have a good life. In order to reduce the impact of violence on subjective happiness, it is important to investigate the personality traits of victims as well as improve their level of self worth.
FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19 AND THE ROLE OF TRADITIONAL RULERS IN NORTHERN NIGERIA
Authors: Babura Zubair 
Published: January 2023

Purpose: The paper examined fight against COVID-19 and the role of traditional rulers in Northern Nigeria.
Methodology: This paper was qualitative in nature because it was based on organized review of related literature and a subtle examination of secondary data. Document analysis was done guided by the study objective. Data for the study was generated from documentary sources while analysis will be affected through content analysis
Findings: The results found out that the traditional leaders in their domains will utilize mobilization machinery at their disposal such as town announcement, announcement during prayers and meetings as well community-based informants, to create awareness and strengthen community surveillance for COVID-19 disease and in the effective distribution of personal protective equipment (PPE) and relief palliatives
Unique Contribution to Theory and Practice: The central concern of this paper was to examine the major roles of traditional rulers in the fight against COVID-19 pandemic disease in Northern Nigeria. However, it is the contention of this paper that efficient and effective fight against the pandemic disease would continue to be a mirage if due recognition is not given to the traditional authorities as a critical stakeholder in the health architecture of the region under discourse and Nigeria in general.
Influence of climate change on the spread Newcastle Disease in Africa. A Critical Literature Review
Authors: Mwamberi Alfonso Mwamberi 
Published: January 2023

Purpose: Newcastle Disease is a disease that is virulently caused by a form of avian Paramyxovirus type-1 virus that affects the respiratory systems of wild birds and poultry. The overall objective of this study was to examine influence of climate change on the spread Newcastle Disease in Africa.
Methodology: The paper used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes and to extract knowledge gaps.
Findings: This study concluded that that farmers should be encouraged to keep poultry chicken depending on their capacity. Thus, there is a need to capacitate farmers' knowledge and participate in decision-making. Most of the adaptation measures can reduce negative impacts of climate change such as improved breeding, use of improved feedings, and burying the infected chicken. However, adaptation was taken into account but there were some challenges faced by farmers such as high cost of vaccinations; inconsistent forecasts of Newcastle Disease spread; lack of training; lack of enough funds; lack of information facilities; drug resistance; ignorance of farmers; culture and misconceptions. Finally, farmers should take more precautions of using vaccines against Newcastle Disease.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: This study recommended that the national government should devolve and set up weather stations at local levels to help the community monitor and forecast changes in temperatures and rainfall to help them take precautions against adverse climatic events, known as a precautionary principle for community preparation. The devolved and national governments are urged to strategize and provide extension services to farmers periodically to create awareness and technical guidance on dealing with Newcastle disease such as handling and taking hygiene precautions.
Spatiotemporal Variability of Temperature, Relative Humidity and Rainfall in Different Altitudes of Lower Lake Victoria Basin, Kenya
Authors: Olela Samwel Odhiambo , Makokha George L. , Obiero Kennedy Obiero 
Published: January 2023

Purpose: Global Climate Variability and Change are among environmental challenges with adverse consequences in the world. Their impacts include heightened temperatures, heightened or lowered rainfall and Relative Humidity. Those impacts depend on a place or how sensitive the people are. Examples of variations at the global scale which do influence local climate elements include: North Atlantic Oscillation (NOA), El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and Madden-Julian Oscillation. Lower Lake Victoria Basin (LLVB), Kenya was suspected to experience such variations differently due to varied altitudes. This study sought to investigate variability of selected climate elements in different altitudes of the LLVB, Kenya.
Methodology: Meteorological data were obtained per county i.e. Migori - South Nyanza (SONY) Central Meteorological Station, Kisumu - Kisumu Airport Meteorological Station and Kakamega -Mumias Sugar Company (MSC) Meteorological Station. Data for the three selected climate parameters were collected for twenty years except Relative Humidity from Kisumu Airport which was available for only 12 years (2009-2020). ANOVA, Shapiro Wilk W test, Tukeys Honest Significance Difference (HSD) test, Time Series and Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient were used for analysis.
Findings: The findings showed that the elements significantly varied: Temperature F = 120.87, P = 0.0001; rainfall (F = 24.56, P = 0.000 and Relative Humidity (RH) F = 30.37, P = 0.0001. Temperature means correlated with altitudes revealed a negative correlation (r = - 0.896). Extreme events were observed in rainfall.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practices: Extreme events of rainfall, increasing trends of selected climate parameters were observed in the study area. These were evidence that climate change has already become an aspect of concern in the study area. Impacts of such extreme events should be investigated to help construct mitigative and adaptive strategies which should be implemented early enough to prevent unwanted outcomes, otherwise similar investigations should be conducted to establish situations elsewhere at different altitudes.
FACTORS INFLUENCING THE PRACTICE OF FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION IN KENYAN COMMUNITIES A CRITICAL LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Hussein Dr. Hadhi 
Published: January 2023

Purpose: Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), is the ritual removal of some or all of the external female genitalia. In Kenya, the practice of female mutilation is considered dangerous and the country has imposed laws to prevent the practice from continuation. The major purpose of this study is to identify factors influencing the practice of female genital mutilation among women in Kenya communities.
Methodology: The paper used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes and to extract knowledge gaps.
Findings: The study concluded that the practice of FGM is a social consequence that is affecting a number of women and young girls socially, psychological and physically. To eradicate the practice, there is a need for education campaigns in the communities that practice FGM.
Unique Contribution to Theory and Practice: Research on the knowledge and practice of female genital mutilation and other socio-demographic and economic variable must be done in order to figure out more factors that may influence and promote the practice in Kenyan communities
The Role of Medical Evidence in Determining the Cause of Death in Murder Cases in Zambia
Authors: Simfukwe Kamo Msimuko 
Published: January 2023

Purpose: This paper seeks to demonstrate the necessity of medical evidence in determining the cause of death in Murder cases. Further, to show that the use of ocular observations to determine the cause of death is not always sufficient or accurate. It is important for medical evidence to be adduced to determine the cause of death in murder cases because a conviction for murder carries the ultimate punishment of death. Secondly, determining the cause of death in a murder case is not only a legal question but also a medical question. Combining both approaches is likely to lead to a more just determination of the matter.
Methodology: The research was conducted by analysing statutes, judicial precedents, journal articles and other legal authorities that address the legal principles and issues underpinning this subject matter.
Findings: Firstly, the use of expert medical evidence in determining the cause of death in murder cases is not mandatory in Zambia. Secondly, relying solely on ocular observations to determine the cause of death will not always lead to a just and or accurate determination of the cause of death. Thirdly, there is a lack of trained experts in the field of Medico legal Death Investigations. Fourthly, the use of a combination of both eye witness testimony and expert medical evidence will lead to a just conclusion of murder cases. Lastly, determining the cause of death is both a legal and medical question
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study highlights the importance that must be attached to the use of medical evidence in murder cases in view of the fact that determining the cause of death is not just a legal question premised on eye witness accounts but a medical question requiring expert opinion. It further advocates a mandatory requirement for the state to adduce medical evidence in prosecuting murder cases. Lastly it calls for investment in training experts in the field of medicolegal death investigations to provide the much-needed expert opinion in these cases
Sea surface temperature evolution of the North Atlantic Ocean across the Eocene–Oligocene transition

Published: January 2023

Abstract. A major step in the long-term Cenozoic evolution toward a
glacially driven climate occurred at the Eocene–Oligocene transition (EOT),
∼34.44 to 33.65 million years ago (Ma). Evidence for high-latitude cooling and increased latitudinal temperature gradients across the
EOT has been found in a range of marine and terrestrial environments.
However, the timing and magnitude of temperature change in the North
Atlantic remains highly unconstrained. Here, we use two independent organic
geochemical palaeothermometers to reconstruct sea surface temperatures
(SSTs) from the southern Labrador Sea (Ocean Drilling Program – ODP Site
647) across the EOT. The new SST records, now the most detailed for the
North Atlantic through the 1 Myr leading up to the EOT onset,
reveal a distinctive cooling step of ∼3 ∘C (from
27 to 24 ∘C), between 34.9 and 34.3 Ma, which is
∼500 kyr prior to Antarctic glaciation. This cooling step,
when compared visually to other SST records, is asynchronous across Atlantic
sites, signifying considerable spatiotemporal variability in regional SST
evolution. However, overall, it fits within a phase of general SST cooling
recorded across sites in the North Atlantic in the 5 Myr
bracketing the EOT. Such cooling might be unexpected in light of proxy and modelling studies
suggesting the start-up of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
(AMOC) before the EOT, which should warm the North Atlantic. Results of an
EOT modelling study (GFDL CM2.1) help reconcile this, finding that a
reduction in atmospheric CO2 from 800 to 400 ppm may be enough to
counter the warming from an AMOC start-up, here simulated through
Arctic–Atlantic gateway closure. While the model simulations applied here
are not yet in full equilibrium, and the experiments are idealised, the
results, together with the proxy data, highlight the heterogeneity of
basin-scale surface ocean responses to the EOT thermohaline changes, with
sharp temperature contrasts expected across the northern North Atlantic as
positions of the subtropical and subpolar gyre systems shift. Suggested
future work includes increasing spatial coverage and resolution of regional
SST proxy records across the North Atlantic to identify likely thermohaline
fingerprints of the EOT AMOC start-up, as well as critical analysis of the
causes of inter-model responses to help better understand the driving
mechanisms.

The effectiveness of different asset types as a hedge against inflation
Authors: Fuertes Mendoza Alberto 
Published: January 2023

Rationale
The current period of high inflation makes it difficult for investors to maintain their profitability targets in real terms. Against this background, it is important to analyse the returns on different types of assets recorded in this and past inflationary episodes.
Takeaways
•In the past, both commodities and inflation-linked bonds have generated positive real returns during inflationary periods, while conventional sovereign bonds and general stock market indices have yielded negative real returns.
•In the current inflationary episode energy-related assets have generated the highest returns, while in the United States residential real estate has also performed well.
•In the recent period, both in the euro area and the United States investors have increased their holdings in investment funds specialising in inflation-linked bonds, and have reduced their holdings in conventional bond and equity funds.
