The study of prison behaviour, particularly adjustment after incarceration has evolved with the cause of time and has ultimately become a veritable source for understanding how prisoners employ personal adjustment characteristics in their respective socio-cultural, and demographic variables These behaviours define the social position of inmates and provide a better understanding of the behavioural process that reduces the overall economic cost of adjusting problems within prison communities. The problem of adjustment is under-reported in commonplace within the Nigerian Correctional Service. The study determined the role of religiosity as a predictor of adjustment among inmates in southwest Nigeria: The mediatory role of resilience. Using a correlational survey design and systematic sampling technique, four hundred and seventy-eight convicts responded to the religiosity scale, resilience Scale, and Prison Adjustment Scale. Analysis of the data with Linear and multiple regression and Sobel statistics. Findings revealed that religiosity significantly predicted prisoners’ adjustment [β.14, t 2.85’, < .01], and Resilience significantly predicted prisoners’ adjustment β.18, t 2.25’, p< .05. Furthermore, the strength with which resilience mediated the existing relationship between prison adjustment and religiosity was significant. Thus, (Ƶ = 2.60, p. 01). It was recommended that prison management must include faith-based programs since it’s implicated as an important enhancer of adjustment among inmates as evidenced in this study. The program is essential in promoting or enhancing psychologically well-adjusted prison inmates.
对监狱行为的研究，特别是监禁后的调整，随着时间的推移而发展，最终成为了解囚犯如何在各自的社会文化和人口变量中运用个人调整特征的真正来源。这些行为定义了囚犯的社会地位，并提供了更好的理解行为过程，减少了监狱社区内调整问题的总体经济成本。在尼日利亚的惩教服务中，调整问题被普遍低估。该研究确定了宗教信仰作为尼日利亚西南部囚犯调整的预测因素的作用:恢复力的中介作用。采用相关调查设计和系统抽样技术，对478名罪犯进行了宗教虔诚度量表、心理弹性量表和监狱适应量表的问卷调查。用线性和多元回归及索贝尔统计对数据进行分析。结果表明，宗教信仰对囚犯的适应有显著的预测作用[β]。14, t 2.85 '， < .01]，弹性显著预测囚犯的调整β。18, t 2.25 '， p< 0.05。此外，心理弹性在监狱调整与宗教信仰之间的中介作用显著。因此，(Ƶ = 2.60, p. 01)。有人建议监狱管理必须包括基于信仰的项目，因为正如本研究所证明的那样，它被认为是囚犯适应的重要增强者。这个项目在促进或加强心理适应良好的监狱囚犯方面是必不可少的。

The global agenda for natural resource management espouses the principle that disputes between riparian states are resolved in a peaceful manner. The management of economic security on Lake Victoria transboundary disputes between Kenya-Uganda which are about resources within the maritime zone has been negatively affected by transboundary dispute since resolutions on the same do not focus on the economic security aspect. This paper evaluates the contribution of national fisheries policy implementation to economic security management between Kenya and Uganda. Structural-functionalist, social conflict and John Burton’s conflict resolution theory guided the study. The study employed descriptive research design while purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used to determine samples. Philosophically, the study contributed towards a better understanding of the transboundary disputes and their management as well as forming a basis for future research. Study findings indicated that statutory instruments regulate fishing operations or the conduct of fishing as public revenues of both Kenya and Uganda on Lake Victoria. The study recommends a robust reform in the national policies on fishery by both Kenya and Uganda to militate against the Lake Victoria transboundary dispute and bolster economic security management. The statutory instruments for fishing should be revised to provide an enabling fishing environment for fishers and fish traders.

In Vietnam, autonomy in public institutions has received much attention so far. The implementation of university autonomy, however, must be placed in the specific circumstances of each institution. Especially, in the case of universities directly managed by the Provincial People’s Committee with fundamental differences in uniformity due to subjective and objective factors, it is essential to have a reasonable, practical, and scientific roadmap and steps to ensure positive, proactive and sustainable implementation of autonomy in these universities. To conduct this research, the author uses the method of data collection from 30 state management agencies in education such as the Ministry of Education and Training, the Association of Universities and Colleges, and state legal documents on university autonomy to clarify adequacies and limitations and propose appropriate solutions following the reality and scientific arguments, contributing to promoting the implementation of independence in local public universities to ensure proactive and sustainable integration.

Thanh Hoa province, Vietnam is a region with many key economic zones and industrial zones, attracting domestic and foreign business investment, and changing many aspects of people’s lives. It is the transformation of economic models towards modern urbanism, which is the development of urban expansion, narrowing of scale, and rural lifestyle. However, the current development of economic zones and industrial zones has created a shift in the structure of labor and employment and has had a significant impact on the livelihood psychology of workers whose land has been acquired, especially unemployment and job creation. Practice shows that inversely proportional to the positive to the outstanding socio-economic development are the limitations and inadequacies in the labor structure and employment of many workers in these areas. The article presents the current situation and proposes several vocational training solutions to ensure the livelihoods of the people whose land has been acquired, helping to stabilize the socio-economy.

The success of any industrial system hinges on the quality and effectiveness of its workers. The study which is non-experimental and cross-sectional survey examined work-family role interface conflict and organizational climate as correlates of teamwork effectiveness among industrial workers in Nnewi, South-East, Nigeria. Using a non-purposive sampling technique, a total number of two hundred and forty (240) industrial workers were selected from Chicason Groups of companies located at the commercial hub of Nnewi, Anambra State, Nigeria. The participants comprised of 143 (59.5%) males and 97 (40.5%) female industrial workers. Modified Teamwork Effectiveness Questionnaire (MTEQ), Work-Family Conflict and Family-Work Conflict Scale (WFC), and Organizational Climate Scale (CLIOR) were used to collect data from the participants. Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was used to analyze the relationship between the variables of study while multiple regression was utilized to evaluate the independent and joint predictions of the predictor variables. Results of the multiple regression demonstrated that work-family role interface conflict negatively predicted teamwork effectiveness [β = -.24; p<.01] while perceived organizational climate showed significant positive prediction on teamwork effectiveness [β = .37; p<.01] among the industrial workers. Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended that organizational climate of the organization should be harnessed to the extent that it reflects reward for hardworking employees and create an atmosphere that make employees feel as an integral part of the organization while achieving the organizations goals and objectives.

The work aims to study the manufacturing technique, microstructure features, and morphology and mechanism corrosion of a hammered copper basin belonging to one of the early metallurgy ages in ancient Egypt ( the old kingdom). The examination and analysis were carried out by USB microscope, polarized light microscope, scanning electron microscope equipped energy dispersive X-ray and X-ray diffraction. The results revealed that the basin was made of pure copper metal and manufactured as one piece by a hammering method. Metallographic examination showed a recrystallized microstructure, composed by the mechanical process for manufacturing the basin throughout hammering and annealing. The cylindrical body (rim) was in well- preserved state although it was covered with a thin layer of usual green corrosion products. The pustules of warty corrosion were formed on the inner surface of the rim. The curly shape of malachite corrosion were also observed. The morphology and mechanism of warty corrosion were presented and the difference between this type and the pitting corrosion was discussed. The characterization of the basin contributed to understanding and evaluating the preservation condition, which contributes to choosing the appropriate conservation process.

The study examines the role of local governments as a training ground for national political leadership in Nigeria expending Yewa South Local Government as a study. Survey research design was adopted in conducting this research and relies on primary and secondary sources for data collection. The population for this study consists of employees of Yewa South Local Government council. The primary data came from the one hundred and six (106) questionnaires that were administered to the respondents. The research showed that local governments serve as a training ground for national political leadership in Nigeria expending Yewa South Local Government as a research. This was further supported when out of 102 respondents sampled, 40% of the respondents strongly agreed that indigenous government functions as guidance in lieu of national political leadership. The aforementioned was also discovered that local governments have significantly facilitated national political leadership in Nigeria. The paper concludes by saying that ifthe qualities of governance defies in Nigeria are to be transcended, Nigerian frontrunners must eschew self-regarding inclinations and stimulate the conjoint good of the Nigerian people through people oriented governance. The paper therefore recommends that concerted exertions must be geared in the direction of certifying that they are audacious and determined leaders, fortified to tackle these challenges: reviving local governance; guaranteeing resilient democratic culpability; constructing civil society; creating hard-hitting choices amid compressions; decentralizing power to indigenous people; endorsing equality; and undertaking disparity.
该研究考察了地方政府作为尼日利亚国家政治领导培训基地的作用，并将Yewa South地方政府作为一项研究。在进行本研究时采用了调查研究设计，并依靠一手和二手来源收集数据。本研究的人口包括Yewa South地方政府委员会的雇员。主要数据来自对受访者进行的106份问卷调查。研究表明，地方政府是尼日利亚国家政治领导的培训基地，并将Yewa South local Government作为研究对象。在抽样调查的102名受访者中，40%的受访者强烈同意土著政府发挥指导作用，而不是国家政治领导，这进一步支持了这一点。上述情况还发现，地方政府极大地促进了尼日利亚的国家政治领导。本文的结论是，如果要超越尼日利亚的治理质量，尼日利亚的领先者必须避免自我关注的倾向，并通过以人为本的治理来激发尼日利亚人民的共同利益。因此，该报告建议，必须齐心协力，证明他们是大胆而坚定的领导人，有能力应对这些挑战:恢复地方治理;保证有弹性的民主罪责;构建市民社会;在压缩中创造强硬的选择;将权力下放给土著人民;支持平等;并承担差距。

The purpose of this paper is to provide answers to the following research questions: Is effective mentoring a function of culture, learning or hereditary, birth/ nature? Or are people born with certain traits that make them more effective or better mentors than others or is it based on learning or socialization/ nurture?; Is cross gender or cross-racial more effective than mentoring based on demographic similarities characteristics? Are there some types or techniques or practices of mentoring that are more appropriate or more suitable to some demographic groups or populations – women, blacks and other racial minorities etc. than others? This paper defines mentoring, discusses competing schools/ theories of mentorship, as well as typologies of mentoring approaches. The paper concludes that multiple/ group mentoring approach is indicative of the new trend in the business; and that while each mentoring technique or model supplements or complements the other, multiple mentoring styles or systems tend to present the best possible path to achieving efficiency and effectiveness. Finally, it recommends appropriate mentoring strategies and techniques to improve mentoring that include programs that take into account demographic similarities between mentors and protégés, gender and race-based norms, stereotypes and discrimination, as well as cultural diversity.

Unipolar major depressive disorder affects a significant number of individuals across the globe placing at the top of the list as the leading cause of disability, related to damaging ramifications on the well-being affected persons and the societies. The current standard antidepressants targeting monoamine systems take long in starting a response. Therefore, there is a need in depression patients that is yet to be satisfied efficacious and swiftly acting antidepressant like those containing ketamine agent. This paper attempts to proof why ketamine should be used to treat depression. It compares it with other agents like nitrous oxide and it evident that ketamine is much faster and more effective than current antidepressants.
