The research work assessed the magnitude of land use and land cover changes of Gogoram and Zurgum-Baderi areas of Northeastern Nigeria. This is aimed to examine the trends in magnitudes of changes of Gogoram and Zurgum-Baderi divisions between 1972 and 2015 and compare these trends in the two divisions. Satellite imageries and field observations were used to acquire data. The results revealed that there were four main landcover types which include bare surface, forest, open water and swamp. Each of these four classes was however subjected to different degrees of landcover changes between 1972 and 2015. Forest areas recorded increase in area landmass in 2015. Open water increased in size between 1972 and 1986. The landuse and landcover changes in Zurgum-Baderi division between 1972 and 2015 were similar to those of the Gogoram division. Like the Gogoram division, the 1972 and 1986 periods had the highest magnitudes of landuse and landcover changes. Moreover, the total annual rates of changes in the two divisions were also found to be least between 1986 and 1991 as well as between 2005 and 2009. Between 2009 and 2015, the magnitudes of landuse and landcover changes were more in Zurgum-Baderi division than in Gogoram division. This could be interpreted that the rate of degradation in the two divisions with percentage of areas that were occupied for farming in Gogoram division was 10%, while that of smaller Zurgum-Baderi was as high as 18%. Correlation analysis revealed positive relationship as correlation coefficient (r) is 0.1480. While, the P-value is 0.7796 which is more than the significant level of 0.05, the null hypothesis was accepted and concluded that there is no significant difference between the two divisions between 1972 and 2015. In conclusion, the influence of the Ministerial Concession on the sector can be managed through regular public enlightenment campaigns and routine and special anti-poaching patrols.
La critique platonicienne de la démocratie athénienne antique vise l’instauration d’un pouvoir politique philosophiquement aristocratique où la sagacité et la dextérité des gouvernants amélioreront pédagogiquement les âmes et garantiront l’harmonie et la prospérité des citoyens. L’introduction de l’aristocratie permet ainsi de corriger les imperfections du régime démocratique en vigueur, aux fins de sauver le peuple athénien de la déliquescence politique et morale, une expérience politique qui devra nécessairement inspirer les États démocratiques contemporains en panne de succès. Mots clés : Aristocratie, démocratie, philosophie, politique, Platon.
At the time the pandemic began most economists thought its effect would on balance be deflationary. The reality is that inflation has surged. How and why did this happen the objective was to find out why and how inflation occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic even when economists said otherwise. The research was conducted completely online with all the references cited. Primary causes of the abrupt increase in inflation that we are currently seeing. First, Covid has prevented most people from making large purchases for the previous 18 months. People are spending and purchasing again now that the economy is up and running. Short-term inflation results from the fact that our system isn't designed to handle this degree of high demand. Milton Friedman once said, ‘Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.’ This has hence proved to be true since the covid 19 pandemic has struck. Inflation did surge in terms of monetary terms.
Tax revenue forms an important source of government financing in Kenya and other developing countries. However, tax mobilization in Kenya has been coupled with a number of hiccups, particularly on tax compliance. In an attempt to address this challenge, KRA has embarked on the implementation of taxpayer programme. Since its initiation, however, it has not clearly been established if taxpayer education contributes to increased tax compliance. This study sought to review the implementation of taxpayer education programme in Kenya, a case study of Nairobi County. The study employed both qualitative and qualitative research designs. The target population was, of both, all taxpayers in Nairobi County and KRA officers involved in the implementation of the taxpayer education programme. The sample size comprised of 30 tax officers and 420 taxpayers. The selection of the sample followed probability-sampling techniques. This study used both primary and secondary data. The primary data was collected using questionnaires. Data analysis was done using SPSS 22.0 and Microsoft Office Excel 2010, and was presented in form of frequency tables, bar charts and pie charts. With a response rate of 100% in both cases, the findings revealed a high level of accessibility to taxpayer education programme in 2015, and a better quality of programme implementation. The results of this study were consistent with previous studies that taxpayer education programme has a positive effect on tax compliance. Further, the study reveals inadequate resources, insufficient time, lack of adequate staff, low levels of awareness about the programme, low staff morale and inaccessibility of taxpayers as the key obstacles in the implementation of taxpayer education programme in Kenya. Key terms: KRA, tax compliance, taxpayer education programme, Nairobi County, taxpayers, tax officers
This study aims to obtain empirical evidence regarding the effect of CSR disclosure on financial performance, where researchers also use financial slack as a moderating variable. The population in this study are all banking sector companies listed on the IDX, namely 43 banks consisting of 4 state-owned commercial banks (State Owned Enterprises), 29 BUMS, and 10 Non-Foreign Exchange BUSN for the period 2018-2021. Determination of the sample using purposive sampling technique then obtained 42 companies were the research sample for 1 period, so the total sample used in this study was 164 companies. The analysis technique used is Moderated Regression Analysis. The regression model has been tested and passed the classical assumption test, namely normality, heteroscedasticity, multicollinearity, and autocorrelation. The test results show empirical evidence that (1) CSR disclosure has a positive and significant effect on financial performance; and (2) the existence of financial slack strengthens the effect of CSR disclosure on financial performance. The results of the calculation of Adjusted R Square below 50 percent are limitations in this study, meaning that there are other variables outside the model that have a higher influence on financial performance.
This study determines the quality of the coastal waters from the coasts of three locations in western Mindanao, which was compared statistically. Coastal water quality parameters include pH, conductivity, turbidity, salinity, TDS, and COD. Experimental results revealed that the coastal water quality of the three sites was very good, within the standard set by authorized agencies, except for the COD in Alicia. The three shores generally showed significant differences in all parameters except for turbidity and COD. This could be due to the different features, geographical locations, and anthropogenic activities of each shore. The differences among the three sites did not show any pattern. It cannot be said that one coastal water is better than the other. For Instance, Oroquieta showed the highest value in pH, but it also has the lowest values in conductivity, salinity, TDS, and COD. Baliangao has the highest values in conductivity, turbidity, and TDS, but it has the lowest values in pH. While Alicia showed to have the highest COD but the lowest turbidity. Therefore, the researcher suggests that by the time of this writing the coastal waters of the three locations are generally clean. However, the COD slightly revealed a threat in Alicia. Hence, monitoring is recommended.

This study aimed to determine the level of teaching-related stress in terms of Workload, Students’ Behavior and Responsiveness of the Stakeholders and the extent of the level stress among the 120 Public School teachers of Balingoan District, Misamis Oriental Division. The significant relationship between teaching-related stress and extent of level of stress was also determined. The instruments used in this study were from Ferguson et al., (2017), for the teaching-related stress and for the Level of Stress, the Perceived Stress Questionnaire of Levenstein et al., (2012) was utilized. Findings revealed that teaching-related stress in terms of Workload, Students’ Behavior and Responsiveness of the Stakeholders have Significant Relationship to the Levels of Stress experienced by the teachers in the school. Moreover, data revealed that teachers are Most Stressed in terms of Responsiveness of the Stakeholders. The high levels of stress that teachers experience can be attributed to the lack of support from stakeholders and excessively demanding obligations that are associated with the teaching profession. In general, stress among teachers is commonplace and is becoming an increasingly significant problem. Therefore, it is recommended that the government and administrators should look at the possible intervention to minimize the level of stress of educators. However, if the stress is already pushing teachers to their breaking point and is uncontrollable, it is strongly suggested that they seek consultation and advice from professional experts.

Window type can have a significant impact on several aspects of the building ventilation, most importantly air movement control which influences thermal performance. The combined effect of high solar radiation and humidity levels in the warm-humid climate zones as that of Asaba, makes continuous flow of air an imperative to achieve thermal comfort. Temperature control by natural ventilation is often the only means of providing cooling when mechanical air-conditioning is not available in the warm-humid climate as that of Asaba. Window types in a building can be manipulated to increase or decrease the speed of the air movement. Observation survey and physical measurement was conducted in 650 buildings through stratified sampling to assess the ventilation characteristics of window types in naturally ventilated residential buildings in Asaba, Nigeria. The mean value of ventilation area percent of window types in residential building in the study area are sliding 12.8%; projected 13.2%, casement 16.9%, casement-with-vent 17.8%, and louvre window 18.4% respectively. Recommendations were made that window types with high ventilation area percent should be used in naturally ventilated residential buildings to offer maximum ventilation. This will aid indoor air quality, ventilation and energy conservation in buildings. Keywords: Natural Ventilation, Ventilation Characteristics, Window Types, Asaba, Nigeria.

Diseases of the cardiovascular system take the top spot on the list of the world's leading causes of mortality. However, accurate prognostication and prompt diagnosis may assist in lowering the overall death rate and increasing the percentage of individuals who are able to survive their condition. One key problem that slows down the process of early diagnosis is the lack of availability or shortage of radiologists and other medical professionals in various nations for a variety of reasons. In the realm of medical imaging, the use of computation-al intelligence as a method to identify, prognosticate, and diagnose illness is a burgeoning trend that is one of the many different efforts being made to construct decision support systems. It makes it easier for radiologists and other medical professionals to deal with their excessive workloads and reduces the amount of time lost due to unnecessary delays in the diagnosis of patients. Despite the fact that a significant number of cardiac disorders are avoidable, their prevalence is nevertheless on the increase, mostly as a result of insufficient preventative efforts. In the modern, digital age, a number of clinical decision support systems for predicting cardiac disease have been created by a variety of researchers in order to simplify diagnosis and guarantee that it is carried out effectively. Using data mining and machine learning techniques, the authors of this work analyze the current state of the art regarding a variety of clinical decision support systems that have been presented by different researchers for the prediction of cardiac disease. It has been discovered that Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are superior in the majority of the research in all of the frameworks. Deep neural networks are a relatively newer technique of machine learning that is producing noticeable results in classifying heart sound signals and cardiovascular imaging. These findings have been achieved in recent years. The current study will assist in automating the process of diagnosing heart disease by providing new researchers in the field of machine learning with recommendations and potential new re-search topics to investigate.

The awareness of CSA was high among the respondents. Knowledge of CSAP was also high among the majority (60.8%) of the respondents. While the perception of CSAP was unfavourable among the higher proportion (51%) of the respondents. There was a significant and positive relationships between the respondents’ awareness (r=0.303, p=0.031)and their perception toward CSAP. The study therefore concludes that the awareness of climate-smart agricultural practices was high among the respondents while their perception towards climate-smart agricultural practices was unfavourable. There is a need for adequate training on the benefits of climate-smart agricultural practices for the extension workers in the study area as to help improve their perception. Key words: Climate-smart agriculture, extension workers, perception.
Les disciples infidèles (Sartre, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, etc.) de Husserl s’accordent tous pour montrer, chacun avec la démarche qui lui est propre, que le « retour aux choses ellesmêmes » est une impasse de la phénoménologie transcendantale de leur maître. Remédier à cet échec consiste pour eux à éliminer la « conscience originaire » pour reconnaître l’existence exclusive de la conscience psychologique dont l’intentionnalité est avérée et mérite d’être saisie plus radicalement ; à refuser la « réduction phénoménologique » qui replonge le phénoménologue dans le monde métaphysique doté d’essences pures, au lieu de le laisser s’installer, de façon réfléchie, dans le monde naturel dans lequel l’homme vit et scrute attentivement ses relations avec ce monde et ses semblables. Ces remédiations doivent être complétées, dans une perspective marxiste défendue par Desanti, par la praxis qui permet au phénoménologue de retourner au monde de la vie et du travail, de le transformer positivement. La présente réflexion recommande avec force que cette praxis phénoménologique soit encadrée par une éthique adéquate et responsable pour permettre aux hommes d’éviter le piège des agacements et des dérives des praxis technoscientifiques contemporaines. Mots clés : Ego transcendantal, éthique, impasse, phénoménologie, praxis, remédiation.
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are the second most common healthcare-associated infections resulting in readmissions, prolonged hospital stays, higher medical costs, and increased morbidity and mortality and nurses are in ideal position to take actions that help to prevent SSIs. This study was aimed to assess the knowledge regarding surgical site infections among nurses in Civil Service Hospital, Kathmandu. A descriptive cross-sectional research design was used. Non-probability total enumerative sampling technique was used for selecting 50 nurses from 4 different wards of Civil Service Hospital. Data collection was done from Falgun to Chaitra (February and March 2022) by using self-developed structured self-administered questionnaire. Data were edited, classified and coded manually, and entered and analyzed using SPSS software version 21.
