Businesses fail due to lack of proper financial management practices. A lot of countries are in great recession because of mismanagement of public finance. Most developing nations have refused to implement good financial management practices in order to ensure transparency, and economic development in the country. However, the purpose of this research is to examine the relevance of financial management practices in developed and developing countries. In addition to the study, its aim is to compare how financial management practice is done in developing and developed nations. It entails the financial management structure in developed (USA and Canada) compared to that of developing countries (Ghana and Nigeria). The authors used secondary sources by reviewing archival literature of past studies such as journal and conferences proceedings, magazines, books, internet sources and so on. Discussion on how financial management will benefits household individuals, businesses and governments in a country are given in this research paper. The challenges faced in countries for lack of proper financial management practice are also included in this research paper. In this study, the authors found that finance has a great impact on the society, whether it being personal, business or public finances, they all play a key role in promoting growth and development in a country. The authors also found out that financial management help countries to prepare a detailed financial budget on how to track the expense and income of a country. Further empirical studies could be carried out by different authors by using qualitative and quantitative research method in order to get accurate data on the relevance of financial management practice in developing and developed countries.

The discharge of crude oil products to the environment (soil, water and air) has great negative impacts on the organisms living therein. Most of these effects are from heavy metals, total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) among others. This research adopts an extensive review of literatures such as conference papers, journal articles, internet sources, books to find out the amount of total metal concentrations and the total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) that are likely to be found on crude oil contaminated soil even after remediation or cleanup activities have been carried out. The driving force behind this research is the fact that the people living in most petroleum-contaminated areas such as the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria still experience some negative effects (such as health and agricultural effects) associated with the crude oil pollutants even after remediation. The study concludes that even though heavy metals were still present in the remediated soil, they are not bioavailable for plants uptake; hence their presence is negligible harmless. On the other hand, the total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) that remains after cleanup is still well above the background level. As such, it would impose negative impacts on the inhabitants of such areas. The study further recommends that more effective methods of remediation should be carried out, or a combination of more than one method should be adopted in other to obtain absolute cleanup of the polluted area..

Cassava products produced in Nigeria varies, ranging from one product to another, mostly for direct human consumption after harvesting. This is because the emphasis of the promotion of cassava has been on its use as food. The use of the crop as a basic raw material for industrial purposes would improve industry in Nigeria. Cassava products has been diversified ranging from one product to another, such as the use of cassava in livestock feed, means that more maize and other feed materials used in the past can now be available for other uses such as cassava flour products like glucose for pharmaceuticals, food supplements, alcohol and other beverages. The need for improved method of extracting pulp from cassava for economic purposes made researchers to device improved method of achieving these extractions. However, this particular study describes a detailed review of the literature concerning cassava grating machines, design and fabrication in Nigeria. The methodology used in this study was a secondary data collection approach that involves the review of journal and conference paper articles from past authors, internet sources and materials, newspapers and magazines and so on and so forth. Hence, authors in this research reported that to achieve the call for a good design that assures effectiveness and quality of the processed products. The design was made using Autocad professional software while the fabrication was done using locally sourced materials. Findings from existing studies showed that cassava grating machines has been designed to be mechanically operated and in so doing cassava is fed through the hopper for grinding. Authors in this study also reported that the performance evaluation of cassava grating machines were carried out, giving the average collection efficiency of 93.25% and average grating efficiency of 86.1%.

Abstract: Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a major indicator used to track inflation rate and cost of living in a country’s economy. Nigeria consumers have over the years been subjected to economic hardship amidst abundant natural resources. Today, cost of living is very high and commodity prices have become unaffordable to many Nigerian consumers. The financial hardship as a result of harsh economic policies, mismanagement of the citizen’s collective commonwealth, corruption, and embezzlement of public fund have created extreme inflation with many consumers unable to afford regular meals in a day. This paper examines the implications of 2022 Q2 Consumer Price Index on Nigeria consumers. It reveals that in the Q2 of 2022, prices of food increased beyond the purchasing power of the average Nigerian consumers. Motor vehicle fuel and natural gas prices increased year on year beyond the reach of the average Nigerian consumers. The cost of electricity, prices for new and used vehicles, motor vehicle spare parts and equipment and even inter and intra state transportation all increased exponentially. A cursory examination of the Q2 of 2022 CPI shows that the purchasing power of consumers declined and the high poverty and unemployment alevel hurts the poor disproportionately. The study suggested among others that government should pursue realistic economic and customs regulatory reforms, deregulate the sale of petroleum products, deregulate power generation and distribution, reduce the level of corruption and enshrine social safety net initiatives especially for the poor. The study concluded that Nigeria consumers are poorer in Q2 of 2022 compared with the same level in preceding years.

Body politics is the latest feminist thought which includes women’s human rights, fundamentalism, sexualities and new technologies. It describes the struggles of women living in economic and socially vulnerable communities where their bodies are re-centered which are invisible in the process of advocacy and action. Women bodies experience major ways of exploitation where their body is considered to be the centre of all the activity in the development discourse. The visibility develops in the multiple forms of sexual and gender based violence including domestic violence, rape, and honor killing in public arena in recent decades. Dalit women are also fall under this category, therefore this study will be analyzed from the framework of feminism with Empowerment and Body politics. Feminist theories in general evaluate the power which dominates women and finds means, methods to dismantle them. Body politics on the other hand analyses the practices and policies through which power of society regulates the human and women bodies.

Dowry, also known as Dahej, is one of the deep-rooted societal ills that has become an obstacle to women’s regular lives. Dowry has become a societal norm, which is a major issue for both society and women. The dowry system is the evil that has murdered and disabled countless vulnerable women, forcing some to commit suicide. Dowry is the oldest social malady or sickness on the Indian subcontinent. It has become a terrible social disorder that is profoundly established in people’s blood. Many individuals regard dowry as a symbol of social standing and self-recognition. As Mahatma Gandhi has rightly said “Any young man, who makes dowry a condition to marriage, discredits his education and his country and dishonours womanhood”. The main goal is to investigate the ills of the Dowry system and its repercussions in India. Keywords: Dowry: Social Evil: Womanhood: Marriage: Self-Recognition: Social Standing: India

Tef is the most important staple cereal crop in Ethiopia. However, its productivity is low due to several biotic and abiotic constraints. The diverse and dynamic environmental condition of Ethiopia needs detailed and sustainable study of under different environment for developed Tef varieties. The objective of this study was to evaluate and select better performed Tef varieties for the study area and similar agro ecologies. Ten (10) improved Tef varieties were tested at Chora district during the 2019-2020 main cropping seasons using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. An important data like Days to heading, Plant height, Panicle length, Total productive tillers per plant, Biomass yield and Grain yield were recorded and mean performances of these traits were evaluated using Genstat 18th edition software. The results showed significant differences among Tef varieties for grain yield and yield related traits. Combined mean grain yield of the Tef varieties varied from 1733kg ha-1 for variety Dega-Tef, to 2217kg ha-1 for variety Dursi. The maximum yield was obtained from Dursi variety (2217kg ha-1) followed by Dukem variety (2171kg ha-1). The results from this study gave valuable information and input for researchers who were interested to examine the effect of environment on the performance of Tef varieties for future breeding program in the Southwest Ethiopian condition (Buno-Bedele Zone). Therefore, these two varieties were recommended to be demonstrated under farmers’ field for further scaling up.

Nigeria farmers are rice producers growing many varieties and prone to accepting any new varieties with seemingly better grain yield and qualities. This study analyzed the quality aspects of milling, cooking and thermal properties of selected rice varieties. Ten paddy rice varieties were processed to raw rice and analyzed for their milling, cooking and thermal properties. The results shows that IWA 7 had the highest head rice yield and least broken grain while IWA 8 had the least head rice yield and highest broken grain. Agreement and Argwula had the highest total milling yield while IWA 1 had the least. IWA 2 had the highest brown rice while Argwula had no brown rice. There were no unmilled grains and stones were found only in Argwula and IWA 3 varieties. Faro 52 had the highest immature and no chalky grain. The gelatinization temperatures were intermediate. Agreement had the highest percentage of amylose content while Faro 44 had the lowest. The volume expansion ranged from 1.5 to 7. The thermal conductivity values ranged from 0.332 to 0.354 WmoC, the specific heat capacity values ranged from 3.44-3.89 kJ/kg oC and thermal diffusivity ranged from 0.75 to 0.80m2/s. Varieties with higher amylose content required a shorter cooking time. This makes IWA 6 and Agreement the varieties with the best cooking quality. Thermal properties were good for all the varieties and the rice grains exhibit the ability to retain heat better than other existing varieties.

Production and productivity of ground nut is limited due to lack of improved varieties as its high price as compared to other cereal and pulse crops. Thus, an experiment was conducted at Adola Red, Odo Shakiso and Goro Dola districts in 2019 and 2020 cropping seasons to evaluate adaptability of improved groundnut varieties. Treatments consisted of ten groundnut varieties (Roba, Baha-gudo, Werer-961, Babile-1, Babile-2, Bahe-gidu, Sedi, Tole-1, Fayo, Nc-4x), carried out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The analyzed result showed that yield and yield related parameters were significantly affected by varietal effect. Accordingly, Werer- 961 was early matured and produced the highest pods plant-1, Sedi produces more number of seeds, Baha-gudo had y the highest seed weight (85.33g. However, Babile-1 produced the highest seed yield (2317 kg ha-1) as compared to the other varieties. Babile-1 variety well performed and can be recommended for the growers in the study area to improve groundnut productivity. Keywords: Ground Nut: Pea Nut: Performance: Oilseed: Yield Potential
由于缺乏改良品种，花生的产量和生产率受到限制，而且与其他谷物和豆类作物相比，花生的价格较高。因此，在2019年和2020年的种植季，在Adola Red、Odo Shakiso和Goro Dola地区进行了试验，以评估改良花生品种的适应性。10个花生品种(Roba、Baha-gudo、Werer-961、Babile-1、Babile-2、Bahe-gidu、Sedi、Tole-1、Fayo、Nc-4x)采用随机完全区组设计(RCBD)， 3个重复。分析结果表明，品种效应对产量及产量相关参数有显著影响。其中，Werer- 961早熟，荚果最高，Sedi种子数量最多，Baha-gudo种子重最高，达85.33g。然而，与其他品种相比，Babile-1的种子产量最高(2317 kg ha-1)。Babile-1品种表现良好，可推荐给研究区种植户，以提高花生产量。关键词:碎坚果;豌豆坚果;性能
