The years spent in education are paramount to a person’s intellectual, psychological and social development. The people one interacts with, the topics one learns about, the skills one gains, and the decisions one takes- they all help in seemingly covert yet instrumental ways in shaping who one becomes as a professional and as a person. Hence, it is very important to study and understand what makes these decisions important, and how one can make them better. In furtherance of this objective, this paper will attempt to investigate the significance of introspection and reflection by students in the years surrounding the path of higher education, specifically looking at what the concept of introspection really means, how it can help with better decision making while choosing a career path or course of study, and how it further helps one become more efficient and satisfied when it comes to academic and professional growth not only in the years spent in university but also beyond that in one’s career and life. This paper will analyse in a qualitative manner the practice of introspection by reviewing psychological and pedagogical studies and publications on the same. It will then go on to analyse the idea of higher education ̶ complete with its objectives and importance in the present socio-economic structure of the world, and use the principles of humanistic psychology to integrate it with the greater picture of individual and collective growth. The paper will carefully study and explain the role introspection plays in this entire process.

Originally intended to be a leisurely comic strip with paintings and pictorial representations, manga has emerged as a ‘soft power’ of modern-day Japan. As the world’s largest manga exporter today, the country is considered to be a manga superpower. Its influence on a fanbase spread across the globe has proved to be a noteworthy component in developing cross-cultural empathy within the readers. Despite its traction, the genre entered the literati only recently. Many researchers have analysed the influence of Japanese traditions, history as well as culture upon modern-day manga and their adaptations. Several researchers have also attempted to study the intercultural translation of manga and the influence of manga across countries. The growing emergence of cultural studies as a field of enquiry and manga as a cultural and literary product provides the base for the current article. With the country’s hybrid culture filled with urban and modern legends, myths, traditions and folklore, most of the stories created in manga are steeped in indigenous culture and are combined with modern lifestyle to create a unique reading experience. This renders these graphic novels as cultural products of manga, which are commodified and read throughout the world. The present article acts as a review of contemporary research in the field of manga as a cultural product and identifies its relevance in spreading Japanese cultural identity, thereby contributing to a global cultural identity. The study opens up new lenses to look at manga as cultural products of the 21st century and broadens the scope of recognizing individual and collective manga series for further research as expounders of Japanese cultural identity.

In architecture, performalism is a conceptual belief that a building’s form should be based on its purpose or function. This concept is often contrasted with the more traditional view that form should follow function. As a result, this paper examines the concept of performalism and its importance to architectural discourse. Using a mixed method approach, this paper provides an in-depth analysis of architecture’s performative dimension and examines architecture’s potential to shape and create meaningful experiences. This analysis explores performalism in contemporary architectural discourse using essays and architectural projects that connects theory and practice related to architecture’s performative dimensions. This performative dimension is explored through relevant literature and examples comparing performative theory with performative practice. In addition, a critical assessment of the concepts potential to inform architectural practice is provided by assessing their theoretical implications and relevance to current discourse and practice.

This paper aimed at examining definition of document and record in the law of evidence in different jurisdictions. This is due to the fact that the meaning of document and record as regards to their uses in legal matters has remained contentious in different jurisdictions. The paper has made a comparative analysis of definition of document with the aim of coming with the definition that is comprehensive enough to cover the further development of technology. Moreover, the study aimed at discussing the application of document in the court proceedings. Design/Methodology This paper has used descriptive study design. Empirical comparative analysis method has been employed by analysing definition of document as enshrined in different legislations of different countries and their application in court proceedings. The surveyed countries include Tanzania, Canada, US and Australia. The criteria for selection of countries involved in this study were based on convenience and availability of information needed. This study employed empirical juridical approach. Different court decision were obtained and examined. With the use of this study design, the paper has been able to meet its objectives. In general, the study used both purposive (probability) and judgement (non probability) sampling design technique Findings This paper has found that there is a need of having a comprehensive definition of document and record that accommodates even further technological development. This reduces unnecessary amendments in the future. It was found vital to retain the dichotomy between public and private documents as regards to their admissibility to the court proceedings. It was further observed that the business documents be admissible in the same way as are public documents but their admissibility must be compounded by procedural guidance. Original/Value This study is important as it alerts the government on the need of having extensive and wide definitions of document that will be comprehensive and future orientated. Through this study, the government will observe the importance of treating the public document and private document differently in judicial proceedings. Finally, it is expected that, this study can be used by other countries to modify their internal legislations as regard to legal definition of document and record and their admissibility in legal proceedings respectively..

China has emerged as one of the 21st century’s most confident and consequential nations. From the Belt and Road Initiative to the Health Silk Road, China has proactively engaged with Eurasian countries and successfully projected its leadership abroad. Up to this point, the question left unanswered is, is this China’s debut as a global power? As it is critical to take note of the complexity of China’s rise, this article approaches the issue from a historical perspective and interrogates the role of the Manchurian’s rule over China beginning in the 17th century. By revisiting the rise of China more than 400 years ago from the lens of “New Qing History”, this paper argues that continuity can be found between the Qing empire and the contemporary rise of China as a global geopolitical power. Different from most Chinese scholars’ emphasis on Qing’s completion of the “grand unification (da yitong)”, “New Qing History” highlights Qing’s distinctiveness and the utilization of archival materials written in the Manchu language. There have been heated discussions on the topic, yet few of them approached the issue from the relationship between “Qing” and “China”. Supported by original archival materials written in Manchu language, this article explores the different receptions of “New Qing History” in Chinese and Western academia based on scholars’ understanding of the relationship between “Qing” and “China”. It further advocates a fluid understanding of ethnic identity in China as well as the so-called “Chineseness” in contrast to the conventional essentialist perception. By incorporating China into global history, this article aims to provide a new perspective in understanding contemporary China’s emergence as a global power and its state policies towards ethnic minorities.

The study aimed to determine the best statistical forecasting model that best fit the criminal Offenses against persons in Mwanza. The study used yearly time series data of criminal Offenses against persons from the Tanzania Police Force for the period 1960 to 2018. The findings show that yearly average, the criminal Offenses against persons reported in the Mwanza region was 269, the maximum was 867 and the minimum was 44. The criminal Offenses against persons reported in Mwanza have an upward trend which is inconsistent from year to year. The RSME, MAPE, AIC and BIC were used to assess the forecasting accuracy of the models. The models included the ARIMA model, SMA and SES. On the basis of RSME, MAPE, AIC and BIC the results showed that ARIMA (1, 1, 1) model is the best model that fits the criminal Offenses against persons in the Mwanza region and therefore suitable for forecasting criminal Offenses. The model that has been developed is a useful tool for producing reasonably reliable forecasts of criminal Offenses against persons in future years. These forecasts can provide guidelines in understanding whether the criminal offence against persons rising or falling.

The prevention of crime and juvenile delinquency, like the prevention of any other undesirable and damaging occurrence, is manifestly superior to their subsequent control. It is possible to prevent crime or delinquency in a variety of ways and settings. When a criminal is incarcerated or given the death penalty, he is prevented from committing other crimes for the duration of his sentence or forever, as appropriate. In reality, the purpose of all forms of punishment is to deter both present and potential criminals from committing crimes. In the current situation, however, criminologists employ the term prevention in a restricted sense, i.e., to forestall criminal behaviour through the proactive person and environmental alterations. In other words, prevention in this context includes attempts to strengthen family relationships, encourage better school adjustments, provide education and enjoyment geared to generate helpful and upright citizens, and utilise aids in the disciplines of social work, medicine, and psychiatry. Clearly, these programmes can be executed in civilizations that are at least moderately prosperous. In countries affected with widespread poverty, such as India, it is inevitable that the limitations of preventive programmes encountered elsewhere will present themselves more strongly. It follows from the explanation of the concept of crime prevention that programmes for the prevention of crime and delinquency should be directed not only to those who have already engaged in criminal behaviour sufficient to warrant the attention of law enforcement authorities, but also to those who have either exhibited some tendency to suggest possible delinquency in the future or who may be otherwise normal but due to individual or environmental factors are at risk of engaging in criminal behaviour. Though preventive programmes are not limited to juvenile delinquents, they are obviously more relevant and useful in the context of young people, given that the likelihood of a person becoming a criminal after a certain age, when values and attitudes are more or less set, is somewhat lower than in the case of individuals of immature age and comprehension.

Child adoption is the creation of family relationship between a child and another person(s) who is/are not the natural parents of the child. Many reasons account for child adoption, some of which are, orphaned children due to death, or disappearance of parents and infertility among couples. This article while utilizing doctrinal research approach discovered that many do not understand the effect of child adoption, thereby relegating its effects to mere temporary relationship like child fosterage, custody and guardianship of children without more. This article found that by the statutory provision and judicial pronouncements; upon the grant of an order of adoption, the rights, duties, obligations and liabilities of the adopted child move permanently from the natural parents and vest in the adoptive parent and vice versa. It is noted that the effect of adoption includes the rights of the child to take up the family name of the adoptive parent as his/her surname henceforth and the right to inheritance. The concept of child adoption is not without challenges ranging from resistance by many customary laws and religious practices and beliefs, prohibition of inter-state and inter-country adoption and the tendency of exploitation. The article recommends among others that for it to amount to adoption, same must be properly documented and registered. Also, the CRA should be amended to give room for inter-state or inter-country adoption.

It is noted that the effect of adoption includes the rights of the child to take up the family name of the adoptive parent as his/her surname henceforth and the right to inheritance. The concept of child adoption is not without challenges ranging from resistance by many customary laws and religious practices and beliefs, prohibition of inter-state and inter-country adoption and the tendency of exploitation. The article recommends among others that for it to amount to adoption, same must be properly documented and registered. Also, the CRA should be amended to give room for inter-state or inter-country adoption.","PeriodicalId":348282,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Multidisciplinary Research & Review","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123189228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
