The fall of Kakatiyas in 1324 A.D which resulted the movement of liberation started by the sub-ordinated chiefs of the Kakatiyas, the Musunuru Nayakas.

Abstract: The research is based on the diligence to conform indicators of both of illegal and legal immigration flow in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. This task was accomplishing by national statistical center and integration government circles prior to the Scandinavian government authorities meeting in 2012. Directorate of Integration has provided the Scandinavian contribution. Demographic proportion of immigrants in these countries could be an impact on for example national employment ratio, future population disasters etc. This is referred to as formation consequences frequently. A country with a large number of newly arrived refugees may have a lower employment rate than a country with many migrant workers. The disparity at national level can thus be partly due to the share of refugees, but also differing periods of residence, country of origin, gender distribution, family composition, and so on. It is therefore important to compare groups that are as similar as possible. The disparities that remain after such harmonization may, to some extent, be explained by differences in integration policies, but there are of course other explanations that can play a part.  In my opinion, specially Scandinavian countries are better option for immigrants, asylum seekers. Therefore, it was the decisive point to pick out this topic. However, increasing that situation brings about crucial complications simultaneously. So, I touched to root of the problems and how to handle with the global migration issues.

Abstract: Medical waste is all waste materials generated at health care facilities, such as hospitals, clinics, physician's offices, dental practices, blood banks, and veterinary hospitals/clinics, as well as medical research facilities and laboratories. Medical waste can be identified by one of four different categories: general, infectious, hazardous and radioactive. This study assessed medical waste disposal methods in Hargeisa public hospital – Somaliland. A cross sectional descriptive study design was conducted to assess of medical waste disposal methods in Hargeisa public hospital – Somaliland.  144 participants were engaged the study. In-depth interview, participant observation and questionnaire were the tools used for data collection. The study findings revealed that workers who deal with the medical wastes are able to identify the nature of medical waste and new medical waste reasons behind sorting medical wastes. The discovery was that the segregation and handling of medical waste are neither active nor effective. An active department responsible for waste available within hospital management could be prioritized to minimize or prevent the threat of preventable physical harm.

Abstract: Family planning can reduce maternal mortality by meeting women’s need for modern contraceptives, this would prevent about one quarter to one-third of all maternal deaths. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the magnitude and determinants of unmet need for family planning among currently married women in child bearing age in Hargeisa, Maroodi Jeex region Somaliland, and reveal the reasons of not using contraceptives and the general knowledge, attitude and practice.  

Methods: Community based cross-sectional study, involving 256 married women of reproductive age selected through a multi-stage random sampling technique, was conducted in Hargeisa town from October – November, 2016. Data were collected by using pretested structured interviewer administered questionnaire after written consent was obtained from respondents. Data were edited, coded, and entered to version 20.0 of SPSS software, and analysed by logistic regression model to identify determinants of unmet need for family planning.

Results: Following the analysis, total unmet need of family planning was significantly associated with number of children alive (OR=0.88; CI 95%= 0.77 – 0.99; P=0.04), Education (OR=4; CI 95%= 2 – 9; P=0.00), Husband approval (OR=5;CI 95%= 2 – 13; P=0.00), Religion (OR=0.26; CI 95%= 0.12 – 0.59; P=0.00) and cultural prohibition (OR= 4; CI 95%= 1 – 13; P=0.00), working status (OR=3; CI 95%= 1 – 6; P=0.00) and knowledge on family planning (OR=2.4; CI 95%= 1 – 5; P=0.02). But Age (P=0.58) and income (P=0.06) of the participants was not significantly associated with total unmet need of family planning. Reasons for not using modern contraceptive were Fear of infertility, desire to have more children and fear of side effects.

Conclusions: In general, the findings show that unmet need for family planning was significantly associated with women’s education, husband approval, religious and cultural prohibition, and knowledge on FP. This suggests to improve, and strengthen Family Planning programs to break the determining factors associated with unmet need for family planning.

Abstract: The objectives of this study is to address the lethal impacts of the gross violations of child rights on the lives of the Murle and Dinka children in Jonglei State and Boma State in South Sudan, by shedding light on the adverse effects of the deadly violence between the two neighbouring communities from 2011 to 2018 upon the livelihood of the pastoral communities in the two said states. Also, it delves into the determining main indicators of the root causes of the said disastrous inter-ethnic armed conflicts that are still partially going on with inter-tribal banditry. The study presents the contagious consequences of the detrimental inter-tribal disputes which resulted in  many deaths, displacement and livelihood devastation of the susceptible nomadic community in Jonglei State and in Boma State from 2011 to 2018, where the recurrent situation of the above mentioned communities is still volatile due to abject poverty and underdevelopment that resulted in socio-economic depression which made these poor nomads and agro-pastoralists extremely destitute because of the weak institutions of South Sudan, as a nation.  The study extensively investigates the regrettable magnitude and lethal intensity of the chronic inter-tribal armed conflicts in the two above mentioned states which were badly destroyed by tribal clashes and inter-ethnic battles that ensued in the abuse and abduction of innocent children from there. In conclusion, this study presents preventive methods and strategic plan for the mitigation of the tribal disputes and management of the wider conflicts in this country by analysing the factors, actors and drivers of the destructive inter-ethnic armed conflict with violence between the Dinka ethnic group and Murle ethnic group that are hostile to each other due to their tribal hostility.

Abstract: A Case-study involving microbiological analysis and questionnaire survey was conducted between January 2018 and July 2018 in Sheik districts Slaughterhouse, Somaliland. Since there is no report on the status of Salmonella, the study was conducted with the objectives to isolate, identify, estimate the prevalence, to delineate the antimicrobial sensitivity and assess public awareness on Salmonella. A total of 200 carcass swab samples comprising sheep (n=100) and goat meat (n=100) were screened for the presence of Salmonella spp. Out of them, 46 samples (32 sheep and 14 goat meat samples) were found positive for Salmonella spp by culture method with an overall prevalence of 23%. Of all isolates, 44(95.6%) were multiple antimicrobial resistant and highest level of resistance was observed for tetracycline (100%), nitrofurans (100%), Streptomycine (82.6%) and Ampicillin (52.2%). However, all isolates were susceptible to ciprofloxacin. The knowledge, attitude and practices of sheep and goat meat handlers and abattoir workers were found poor. Therefore, sheep and goat meat provided to the city was found less hygienic and not safe for human consumption. Thus, urgent intervention program is essential to minimize the risk associated with consumption of sheep and goat meat contaminated with Salmonella. Finally, the authors recommended that the use of standardized procedures in slaughtering and handling of sheep and goat meat, provision of training on best practice of handling of meat for handlers and raising the level of awareness of people.

Abstract: Nigerian choreographers have not been able to establish a unanimous Nigerian contemporary dance convention (like traditional dance) since its inception in the 1950s. While Hebert Ogunde and his contemporaries from the 1950s relied on the folk era syndrome to structure their dances, the Usman Abubakar and contemporaries from the 1990s to the present are relying on complex concepts and the application of the computer and mix media technologies. Kariamu Welsh’s ‘Umfundalai’ and Rudolf Laban’s ‘choreology’ are adopted as theoretical frameworks. The paper evaluates the contribution of Afrika Kreative Dance Company under the control of Usman Abubakar in the forging of the structure of Nigerian Contemporary Dance. Two major dance pieces by the Afrika Kreative Dance Company, Oju and Night were investigated as videotexts in addition to the peripheral treatment of a few other dances by the same Company. Results shows that the structure of Afrika Kreative Dance Company, in spite of being heavily influenced by indigenous philosophical Nigerian themes and dance idioms is characterised by specialised movements that are methodical and leisurely. The structure of the Nigerian Contemporary Dance is therefore dependent on free personal dance creations, but strictly guided by Nigerian or indigenous philosophical themes and dance idioms.

Abstract: In the past, the Bible was studied as a purely religious text but now there is a revolution in its study. At the center of this revolution is a growing awareness that the Bible is literature, taken that literature refers to pieces of writing that are valued as works of art. Since literary studies are useful in the study, evaluation and interpretation of literature, methods of literary scholarship are therefore a necessary part of any complete study of the Bible. In addition there is now an inclination to literary instead of traditional theological terms to discuss the stories and poems in the Bible. The same applies to studies on the gospel of Matthew. Not much has been done on the Gospel according to St Matthew as an epic.  Since the concept of the epic is universal and epics share most characteristics, there is need for people to know the Gospel according to St Matthew in a manner that resonates with them. This study therefore, using a literary approach, attempted to interrogate the depiction of the Gospel according to StMatthew as an epic. The main objective of this study was to explain how the Gospel according to St Matthew fits in the epic genre. The study employed Deconstruction as propounded by Jacques Derrida as its theoretical framework. The Bible, specifically the Gospel according to St Matthew and the literary epic was the area of research. This is because this gospel, compared to the others, most resembles an epic in terms of themes and style. The study utilised the analytical research design. Analytical research, a style of qualitative inquiry, is a non-interactive document research which describes and interprets the past from selected sources. These sources might be documents preserved in collections or participants oral testimonials, or in the case of this research, a literary text by an author. The use of analytical research design was justified because it is ideal in a situation where a researcher attempts to make analyse a situation or make an evaluation. The study population was  theGospel according St Matthew in the New Testament of the NIV Bible. It made use of purposive sampling to select fourteen chapters, which best depict the gospel as an epic, out of the twenty eight chapter in the text for analysis. Textual analysis formed the basis of the qualitative data from the Bible and literary sources respectively. The study was expected to contribute in the field of literature by showing how skills of literary appreciation can enhance our understanding of the Bile and the Gospel according to St Matthew in particular.

Abstract: This study employed survey method to investigate the factors that motivate and influence the publication output of librarians in selected tertiary institutions in Ogun state. Forty-three (43) librarians drawn from libraries of a university, polytechnic and college of education, participated in the study.43 copies of the questionnaire (94%) of the total copies administered (46), were retrieved and found usable. The study found out that the respondents published for promotion and career development; to contribute to knowledge in the field and; to learn new thing in the field. Their research efforts are published mostly in journals, followed by edited conference and unedited conference proceedings. The three institutions studied motivated their academic librarians mostly through sponsorship to conferences and seminars. However, busy schedule of work and financial constraints were the major obstacles to publication output of the academic librarians. These should also be addressed by the management or the various libraries and Institutions' management. Also the respondents could further be motivated if allowed to further their education, especially now that some universities are requesting for doctoral degrees for the employment of new academic staff.

Abstract: This paper sought to explore the role of the school in the transmission of culture. Using analysis, the study attempts to examine how school curriculum is constructed to transmit culture, to investigate the role of the teacher as socializing agent and to relate the cultural nexus of pedagogy. The study indicates that the school is a culture-laden social institution. It further infers that curriculum, in its different subject matters not only transmit but also preserve culture and that the teacher is a paramount socializer of the cultural content. The manner in which pedagogy is done is further observed to be either perpetuating the ideals of the dominant culture and thus leading to social stratification or otherwise enhancing dialogue, which leads to an integrated cultural mindset among the learners.

Abstract: Effective law enforcement service demands that the law enforcement officers are diligent and effective in their duties and responsibilities. They should be punctual and alert while on their respective beats. They should   respect the human rights of the people of the community they serve. They should even patrol their beats on foot so that their visibility would be  more evident thus curtailing the criminal impulses of the criminally inclined, instead of whisking through the vicinity on the “ flying visit” to their assigned places without even giving the people a glimpse of their presence. Transparency is the call of effective law enforcement service. However, effective law enforcement necessitates that the police command should be provided police equipment like two-way radios so that they could readily call for assistance whenever necessary, in order to improve the delivery of services and the maintenance of peace and order. Furthermore, a strong partnership between the police and the community will help ensure the success of the Philippine National Police in its drive against criminality. The findings of this study showed that the police force of the municipality of Pinamungajan, Cebu did their best under the circumstances they had to work in, but their efforts were not equally recognized by the people of the community. Hence, the need for support from the local officials and the people in the community are important factors that would facilitate the effectiveness of the law enforcement service.
