Authors: Oluwabiyi O. E. , Asikhia O. U. , Egwuonwu T. K. 
Published: November 2022

<p>The relevance and contribution of insurance in nation building cannot be overemphasized. The insurance industry remains a major constituent and force in the global economy by virtue of the volume of resources it controls as premiums are collected and consequently its investment scale. Notwithstanding, customer patronage of insurance in Africa (except South Africa) is abysmally poor. Similarly, insurance market penetration in Nigeria is dismally low in comparison with other nations in Africa and beyond. While insurance penetration remains low at 0.4%, only 1.7 % of over 190 million people have insurance in place. This has been attributed largely to consumer apathy and subsequent low market penetration of insurance services. In order to help in identifying the areas that call for improvement, this study evaluated customer relationship marketing dimensions and market penetration of insurance in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study adopted a survey research design. The population of the study consisted of 375,000 estimated consumers of insurance services in Lagos State, Nigeria. A sample size of 1,650 consumers was drawn from selected Local Government Areas of Lagos State through the non-probability sampling technique. A questionnaire titled relationship marketing and market penetration of insurance was adapted and validated. The Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient for the constructs ranged between 0.76 and 0.90. A total of 1,650 copies of the questionnaire were administered, with a response rate of 80%. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential (multiple linear regression analysis) statistics. The findings revealed that relationship marketing has significant influence on market penetration of insurance (Adj. R2 = 0.124; F (5, 1306) = 38.222, p&lt;0.05). Significant positive relationships were also found between some of the relationship marketing constructs and market penetration of insurance. The study concluded that relationship marketing dimensions of customer awareness, customer trust, customer service quality, product innovation and customization, and customer satisfaction are significant predictors of market penetration of insurance in Lagos State, Nigeria. Thus, to influence the market penetration of insurance, the adoption of relationship marketing is highly recommended.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0565/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Ezekiel Ajayi Olalekan , Abdulraheem Issa 
Published: November 2022

<p>This study looked at traditional African conflict resolution methods, specifically in Yoruba-speaking communities in Nigeria's western region. The Old Oyo empire used traditional conflict resolution techniques such as mediation, adjudication, and reconciliation, as well as cross-examination, to offer a chance to interact with the parties involved, promote consensus building, reconstruct social bridges, and enforce order in the society, according to the paper that fully explains the resolution of disputes and justice dispensation. The study used an exploratory research approach, focusing on the history and Yoruba literature, academic journals on the internet, blogs, government publications and records, a variety of research reports, and individual research. The Western world regards these methods as superior for promoting peaceful coexistence. The traditional method of conflict management and resolution is thus recommended because it is less expensive and friendlier, and further national research into the causes of the 16-year-long inter-border war Ekiti-Parapo, popularly known as the Kiriji War, is also recommended for further finding.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0595/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

This research aimed to investigate the level of stress and coping mechanisms of the College of Education (CED) students at Notre Dame of Midsayap College (NDMC) in online distance learning. This study also aimed to determine if there is a significant difference in the level of stress of the respondents when grouped according to sex and age. A descriptive research design was undertaken to assess the respondents' level of stress and coping mechanisms. The data were subjected to appropriate statistical tools utilized in the study such as frequency count, percentage distribution, weighted mean, and one-way ANOVA. Based on the major findings of the study, it can be concluded that students experience stress during their online distance learning brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic. Bad internet connection, financial problems, disturbances in academic life, improper learning environment, tiredness, and irritation in performing their schoolwork are the significant causes of the stress of the students in dealing with their online distance learning. It was also found that they have different coping mechanisms in dealing with stress in their online distance learning. Such coping mechanisms were praying or meditating, creating a conducive learning environment, thinking positively, and playing online games. It was determined that male respondents experienced more stress in online distance learning than female respondents. It was also noted that younger respondents experience more stress than older respondents.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0457/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: November 2022

This research aims to investigate how tennis players' personality structures affect some variables related to the injuries they experience in sports. The research population consists of tennis players between the ages of 10-18 in Turkey. A total of 158 (female: 87, male: 71) tennis players between the ages of 10-18 who had at least one tennis-specific injury participated in the study. Demographic questions (gender, age, height, weight, time of sports injury, repetition of the same injury, and injury measure) used in the study were created by the researchers. The personality of the athlete was determined by the athlete himself, and the survey questions were determined by using the survey questions used in Kirişci's (2011) study. Data from tennis players were collected online via 'Google Form'. There is a low level of statistically positive correlation between re-experiencing the sports injury and the time of the sports injury (r=0.18, p=0.03). There is a low level of statistically positive correlation between the gender of the participants and taking precautions for sports injury (r=0.20, p=0.01). There is a low negative correlation between the gender of the participants and their athlete personality (r=26, p=0.001). There is no statistically significant difference between the participants' re-experiencing the same injury, taking precautions in sports injury, and athlete's personality (r=-0.013, p=0.87, r=0.010, p=0.90). It can be said that the sports injuries experienced by tennis players are related to their personality types and their gender. It can be said that injuries seen in tennis sports are more common during matches and women take more precautions for sports injuries than male athletes. In addition, it can be said that female athletes have both courageous-attentive and emotional-calm personality types, while males have the most courageous-active personality type.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0567/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Public health of people and individuals is the most important resource in the modern world. The sugar epidemic and cardiovascular diseases are linked to the obesity epidemic. As obesity appears at younger and younger ages, it is to be expected that the proportion of people who have been obese for the number of years will increase and that those practicing a "sedentary lifestyle" will move less and less. Diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2) and cardiovascular diseases (CD) are among the top ten causes of death in the world. It is observed that the association between DMT2 and CD risk is not the same for both sexes, with the cardiovascular risk associated with DMT2 being greater in women. Among the different strategies for the prevention and treatment of DMT2 and risk factors for CD, physical exercise has been largely recommended because of its positive effects on glycemic control, body mass, blood pressure, and lipid profile. A higher level of daily physical activity significantly reduces the risk of contracting numerous diseases such as: diabetes, diseases of the heart and blood vessels, certain forms of malignant diseases, obesity, asthma, osteoporosis and others.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0568/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: November 2022

This research is a descriptive study meant to determine the attitudes of preschool teachers towards playing games which are containing physical activity. The universe of the study consists of pre-school teachers working in Gaziantep. There were 450 (male 110, female 340) teachers in the sample group. The Gameplay Scale developed by Hazar (2015) was used to obtain the research data. Independent t-test, One Way Anova and Pearson correlation analysis were used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the research, in the study conducted to determine the attitudes of preschool teachers towards playing games containing physical activity, it was found that male preschool teachers' game passion and risk-taking attitudes were higher than female teachers', those with less professional experience had higher game passions than more experienced teachers. It has been determined that the social cohesion levels of those who have the above-mentioned experience are higher than the subgroups. While it was determined that those who did not have children had higher game passion and desire to play, a positive significant correlation was found between the scores obtained from the sub-dimensions of the scale by both male and female preschool teachers.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0957/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
NEUROPSYCHOLOGY AND SCHIZOPHRENIA: THE ROLE OF COGNITIVE DEFICITS IN SCHIZOPHRENIA’S DIAGNOSIS, THEIR EMERGENCE AS SYMPTOMS, AND THE COGNITIVE FIELDS AFFECTED

Schizophrenia’s (SZ) development results from various factors, including physical, genetic, psychological, and environmental contributions. Over the last decades, many neuropsychological studies have demonstrated cognitive deficits' superiority over psychopathological symptoms as determinants in the SZ diagnosis. However, efforts to accurately identify specific cognitive deficits under certain forms of functional impairment remain vague. According to the recent literature, SZ is universally recognized as a neurobiological disorder with solid neurocognitive content, usually accompanied by neurological deficits. Therefore, in the present review, we will try to identify the cognitive deficits observed in SZ patients and determine their impact on the suffering of SZ patients. Furthermore, we present an overview of the tests used to assess executive functions and elaborate on the factors that affect mental performance stability.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0330/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

<p><strong>Objective:</strong> This study aims to have information about the functional levels, physical activity levels, depression levels, and quality of life of geriatric individuals in the restrictions experienced during the pandemic period and to examine the relationship between these variables. <strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> In this cross-sectional study, a total of 116 participants whose ages ranged from 65 to 87 years (overall sample: M = 72.44, SD = 5.75) were recruited via a snowball sampling strategy to answer to an online questionnaire. The four instruments used were The Functional Independence Measurement scale, Geriatric Depression Scale, The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, The World Health Organization Quality of Life Module for the Elderly. <strong>Results:</strong> A significant regression model, F (3/110) = 23.16, p &lt; 0.001, and 37% of the variance in the dependent variable (R2 adjusted = 0.37) explained by the independent variables. Accordingly, level of functional independence positively and significantly predicts quality of life, β = 0.44, t(110) = 5.43, p &lt; 0.0001, pr2 = 0.21. Physical activity level positively and significantly predicts quality of life, β=0.2, t(110)=2.48, p = 0.015, pr2 = 0.05. Depression negatively and significantly predicts quality of life, β = -0.2, t(110) = -2.56, p = 0.012, pr2 = 0.06. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Physical activity and functional independence levels significantly affect the quality of life positively, and depression affects the quality of life significantly negatively.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0320/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
ANALYSING THE EXERCISE OF EXECUTIVE ORDERS IN THE UNITED STATES AND BENIN: FOR A CONSIDERATION OF ITS VIRTUES AND EXCESSES / ANALYSE DE L’EXERCICE DES ORDONNANCES EXECUTIVES AUX ETATS-UNIS ET AU BENIN : POUR UNE PRISE EN COMPTE DES VERTUS ET DERIVES

<p>Governing by executive orders is becoming more and more common in the exercise of executive power in democratic States and is giving rise to lively debates on whether it is essentially prejudicial or protective of fundamental human rights and freedoms. Using a qualitative approach, based on a contextual and thematic analysis of executive orders issued in the United States - an old democracy - and in Benin - a young democracy, this paper shows that governing by executive orders is both a dynamics of breach of democratic norms and a logic of protection/promotion, or even strengthening of human rights. In particular, it highlights the most notable excesses of restriction or suppression of individual liberties, private property rights and organic laws, while at the same time allowing the promotion of equality, justice and fairness and the abolition of certain servile and discriminatory provisions. Moreover, it proves to be a remedy against the political instrumentalization of constitutional checks and balances, in this case, the legislative branch. Finally, the article suggests that the opportunities and challenges in executive orders should contribute to the debate on strengthening the control of the president's exceptional powers in a democratic regime.</p><p> </p><p>La gouvernance par les ordonnances se systématise, de plus en plus, dans le cadre de l’exercice du pouvoir exécutif au sein des Etats démocratiques et suscitent de vifs débats dont celui sur la nature essentiellement attentatoire ou protectrice des libertés et droits fondamentaux de la personne humaine. Munie d’une démarche qualitative, basée sur une analyse contextuelle et thématique des ordonnances exécutives prises aux Etats-Unis – vieille démocratie – et au Bénin – jeune démocratie - cette contribution montre que la gouvernance par ordonnances exécutives relève à la fois d’une dynamique d’infraction aux normes démocratiques et d’une logique de protection/promotion, voire de renforcement des droits de la personne humaine. Notamment, elle met en évidence les dérives notoires de restriction ou de suppression de libertés individuelles, droits de propriété privée et lois organiques, en même temps qu’elle permet de promouvoir l’égalité, la justice et l’équité et d’abolir certaines dispositions serviles et discriminatoires. En outre, elle se révèle comme un remède contre l’instrumentalisation politique des contre-pouvoirs constitutionnels – en l’occurrence le pouvoir législatif. Enfin, l’article suggère que les opportunités et menaces qu’elle recèle soient mises à contribution dans le débat sur le renforcement du contrôle des pouvoirs exceptionnels du président en régime démocratique.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0968/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: November 2022

Preservice teacher education programs are vital in teachers’ development of instructional practices for inclusive classrooms. In previous research, preservice teachers in Canada had higher scores on measures of experience with people with disabilities when compared to those in Germany. The current study investigated the proposition that differences existed because of experiences of inclusion in the respective countries. Participants were 18 Canadian preservice teachers from faculties of education in Ontario, Canada and 29 German preservice teachers from a Bavarian university. A Group Concept Mapping (GCM) technique was employed. Both groups identified Practicum Experiences, Education Program, Past Jobs, and Personal Life Experiences as contributing to the development of their inclusive practice. Only the Canadian sample identified Mentoring Relationships and Professional Development. Differences and similarities in teacher education programs are highlighted as possible contributors to the differences in Canadian and German preservice teachers’ perceptions of experiences useful for shaping their instructional practice.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0946/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
