The over whole purpose of the study was to investigate determinants of economic condition of rural-urban migrants in Nekemte city, Western Ethiopia. Specifically, the objectives delved on assessing post migration economic condition of migrants and determining factors of migrant attributes playing significant role. A longitudinal research design with qualitative and quantitative approaches of data collection and analysis were employed. Accordingly, relevant data was collected from randomly selected 184 individuals identified by the municipality as migrants through survey and key informant interview. The study uncovered that the variation of annual income, amount of saving, access to education and job satisfaction of migrants before and after migration was statistically significant at (p<0.001) indicating a general improvement in economic condition in post migration. Moreover, as per regression analysis, gender of migrant, level of education, job type, years of stay and access to loans were found to significantly determine income change in post migration. Conclusively, though many remains to be studied, it’s evident from the finding that rural out migration could potentially improve the wellbeing of the migrants and thus, the national and regional governments need to devise policies and strategies that fosters rural-urban linkage for promoting greater economic opportunities.

The main focus of this study is placed on depiction of spousal relationship in prime time dramas of Pakistani television channel. In order to collect a quantitative baseline information on the topic, the study utilized message system analysis of the social reality of spousal relationship portrayed in prime time dramas of Pakistani television channel. For probability sampling, a 6-day week was constructed from July 2020-June 2021. The results of analysis revealed that Pakistani prime time dramas show both healthy and unhealthy aspects of spousal relationship. However, unhealthy aspects are shown more frequently than the positive aspects. The present study also concluded that sacrifice, lies, fraud, materialism, criticism and selfishness were more frequently depicted with respect to wives while support, dominance, aggression, infidelity, relationship commitment and romantic gestures were associated with husbands.

The study looked at the impact of self-efficacy (SE) in mediating the link between perceived stress (PS) and self-esteem (SE) among IELTS test takers. A correlational research design was employed to carry out the current research. 280 IELTS test takers were selected who already attempted one or more trials of IELTS, through purposive sampling strategy. The data were collected from 15 different academies for IELTS preparation in Lahore. The main finding of the study was that between perceived stress and self- esteem, there was a partial mediation impact of self efficacy among IELTS test takers. The results also revealed that those test-takers who gave more attempts of IELTS experience higher stress and lower self-esteem and self-efficacy. The findings were presented in terms of the necessity of offering professional support to participants in terms of increasing their self respect, self belief and overcome the stresses.

In the fourteenth century, the political relations in the sovereign city of Delhi were patrimonial and were governed through the patron client matrix. The sultan was a patron for the social and political base of the Delhi Sultanate that he actively created and modified in order to win greater political support. The Khaljī sultans were not as religious as their predecessor slave dynasty or successor Tughluq dynasty. The religious groups under Sufis and ʿulamāʾ became more powerful in Delhi and the popular politics they initiated was unprecedented. Present article delves into the politics of religion and explains how the religious elite was able to gather as much support on the streets during the Khaljī era.

The history of mankind is beleaguered with periodic wars between nations and groups that resulted in massive devastation of human lives, property, environment and civilizations. The Second World War, for one, was the most destructive war ever recorded. In its aftermath, many scholarly thinkers and leaders began intense debate on the ‘legal and moral’ justifications of war, its prevention and the promotion of the just-war theory as an essential norm that regulates conflicts between modern states and other international actors. The theory is based on the spirit of righteousness of conduct, responsibility, proportionality of actions and the active promotion of peacemaking among groups in conflict. The main argument of this paper is whether the concept of 'just war' is feasible to provide an ethical and legal framework to understand the relationships between humans, groups and states in managing conflicts. To discuss the main argument, the article is divided into three sections. The first section delves into the ethical and legal debate over what constitutes a just war, especially drawing from duty-based and utilitarianism perspectives. The second part examines the interactions between humans (as subjects) and states (as authority), particularly concerning the perceived centrality of the state. The third part examines how the just-war theory is adapted and manifested in the globalized and interdependent world.

The theoretical hypotheses of absorptive capacity (AC) are relatively simple; validation and measurement are more complicated. There are still discussions about AC's best proxy or measurement because archival or survey methods may not provide dependable results. Additionally, absorption theories have not researched the effectiveness of a spatial or geographically relevant bounding as a cluster. Exterior factors define absorptive capacities, but their contingent effects on variables and forms are unclear. Limited studies on the external networks and business environment and change in theory versus execution remain essential research subjects. This research aims to explore the effects of clusters and the business environment on absorptive capacity from the perspective of contingency theory. Based on a sample of 38 nations, World Bank, and Global Innovation Index within the 2013-2018 period data, panel analysis shows that cluster inclusion and business environment relative to the nation can strengthen the absorptive capacity. The results also show that the proxy variable of absorptive capacity is significantly related to results.

This study aims to verify do the humanity student new needs meet the State decisions of distance learning in distance learning during COVID-19 epidemic in Ukraine. It was used the research methods: general scientific research methods; study of official documents and scientific resources; statistical methods, including verification of statistical hypotheses. It was 77 students of humanity specialities. Verification of statistical hypotheses led to the Alternative hypothesis. The principal result is that the humanity student new needs in distance learning do not meet the state decisions of distance learning related to the COVID-19 epidemic in Ukraine. The result is highly statistically significant (99.0%). The major conclusions are: 1) the state decisions of student health are distance learning in the amount of 100%; 2) the humanity student new needs in distance learning are 25.00% - 46.25%; 3) this amount is less than it was just before the pandemic came (54.20% - 68.66%). The new scientific knowledge has important practical and theoretical significance. The authors prepared some multi-level recommendations about distance learning during the COVID-19 epidemic for Ukrainian authority and universities. This study is helpful for higher education institutions who use distance learning.

Globalization has expanded labor market interconnectedness, and countries are striving to take advantage of this opportunity by sending their work force to countries where labor is in demand. On the other side, unfavorable events such as COVID-19 can impose restrictions such as lockdowns, travel bans, and social distance, all of which have caused problems for migrant workers and reduced remitted household budget allocation. Using the two-sample t-test and the PLSM 2014-15 dataset, this study compares the budget allocation of remitted and non-remitted households to food and non-food items. In addition, the distribution of remitted households by province and region, as well as remittance sources also determined. The results show that the Punjab province has the highest percentage of remitted households (51%), while Balochistan has the lowest percentage (1.4%). Furthermore, in Punjab, Bank is the most common channel of receiving remittances, whereas Hundi is in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The results of a two-sample t-test show that between remitted and non- remitted families, there is a significant difference in mean monthly budget allocation to food and non-food items. Remitted households spend more on food, education, health, and gas usage than non- remitted households on a monthly basis. As a result, the study suggests that increasing job opportunities both inside and outside Pakistan could be a viable policy option for increasing remitted and non-remitted household budget allocation. Enhancing bank remittances channels could be a viable policy option for increasing remittances and consequently increases households' budget allocation to food and non-food items.

While online distance learning has become more prevalent in Malaysia's higher education system, it is still uncommon in the country's secondary schools, particularly for gifted programmes. Following the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, Malaysia's educational environment was transformed, resulting in the emergence of new prospects for successful distance learning. The purpose of this quantitative research was to determine whether online distance education benefits Malaysian gifted and talented students or not. The study comprised 305 students between the ages of 11 and 17 from a Malaysian gifted school. This research used a five-point Likert scale with a reliability coefficient of 0.94, which was determined to be reliable. After completing a four-week online distance learning course, participants were invited to complete a questionnaire. There were four learning areas in which effectiveness was assessed: learning facilities, assignments, motivation, and computer skills. While gifted students demonstrated a high degree of computer skill, the statistics indicate that online distance learning is moderately successful. Urban students showed a greater potential for online distance learning than rural students. More studies should be conducted on how to enhance online distance learning for gifted students.

The focus of this investigation was to see how simulated chemistry practicals affected the performance of male and female students at secondary level. The simulations of ten (10) chemistry practicals were developed. The researcher gave an orientation of three (03) days to the students and teachers about the use of simulation to conduct the chemistry practicals. After orientation, students performed chemistry practicals in the laboratory supplemented with simulations according to the time table in ten (10) weeks. The nature of the research was experimental. The quantitative data was collected and examined. Fifty eight (28 males and 30 female) students were selected as a sample. One(1) male and one female(1) secondary school was chosen to observe the effect of simulation on the performance of male and female students in three aspects i.e. written paper, oral viva and practical manual related to chemistry practicals. At the end practical examination i.e. post-test was taken on the pattern of Peshawar Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (PBISE). An Independent sample t- test was applied for the comparison of two groups. From the result of an independent t-test it was found that simulations and gender have no relationship. Therefore, null hypothesis was accepted on the basis of the result of an independent sample t- test. It is concluded that both male and female are equally benefited from simulated software.
