Nowadays China has achieved excellent economic performance in recent years. Although the US is the "ruler" of the modern international economic-political system, China's continuous and, rapid economic course has weakened the primacy of the US, with consequences that are perceived in the global economic system. Of course, China has been accused of practices of economic "mercantilism." On the basis of these mercantilist accusations, a kind of war broke out with the US. War is commercial and economic in nature. The questions that arise, however, are the following: What are the reasons for the trade war between the US and China? What are the consequences of the trade war in the countries involved? What are the implications of the trade war for the international economic system? This study will attempt to provide appropriate answers to the above-mentioned questions.

This study examined the implication of Non-oil revenue on macroeconomic performance in Nigeria for the period of 1990-2020. The study employed secondary time-series data The estimation techniques include Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method, while standard error tests (SE), analysis of variance (ANOVA) are used to test hypotheses. Findings indicated that agricultural trade value, services export, Real interest rate, and credit to agriculture had a positive impact on non-oil revenue while employment in agriculture indicated otherwise. The study recommends that the government should ensure resources are channeled to agricultural-based exports Hence drive foreign exchange earnings through agriculture outputs, hence making the sector more viable and the financial sector should formulate more realistic agricultural driving policies that will enable more availability of credit to the agricultural sector for expansion.

Women labor force participation is vital for the enhancement and socio-economic development of a nation. This study had attempted to portray the determinants of women labor force participation in Boke Tiko town. The study was conducted by using primary and secondary sources of data. Primary data was gathered through questionnaire method from 99 sample respondents selected via simple random sampling technique. Secondary data were observed from different written materials such as published and unpublished books. To analyze the data, researchers had used both descriptive analysis techniques and econometric model of binary logistic regression. The result of the study indicated that women labour force participation was significantly determined by marital status, educational level, presence of young children and income level of the household. The study had recommended the necessity of giving emphasis for the expansion of family planning usage, creating work opportunities for educated women, and boosting the size of economic activities which could increase income level of women in the study area.

The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MoEST) in Malawi introduced the National Reading Programme (NRP) in 2015 to improve early grade learners’ literacy skills. However, results from the 2017 and 2018 national reading assessment for Standard 2, Standard 4, and the NRP monitoring strategy revealed that the state of reading achievement was still below average. This study therefore examined challenges that affect the implementation of NRP by teachers. The study was qualitative in nature and was guided by the Social Constructivist Theory. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with sixteen teachers, four head teachers, two Primary Education Advisors (PEAs) and one NRP Officer. Documentary analysis and classroom observations were done to triangulate data collected through interviews.The study revealed that improvements in aspects of education systems including proper training and distribution of teachers, improved school infrastructure and community involvement, etc., are certainly necessary to achieve universal literacy. The study also suggested that it is only through everyone’s hard work and commitment that would ensure the realisation of the important goal of having all Malawian children be able to read and write.The study is important because it provides a set of principles of learning about ideas and practices that promote learners’ academic achievement in reading and writing. Another anticipated value of the study is that it aggregates previous relevant studies on the problems surrounding language curriculum implementation and synthesises the findings of previous studies.

The Gothic writing has often been perceived as a form of Western fiction- making. This apparently is based on the fact that Gothic genre originated in Europe in the late 18th century and has been widely exploited in the West (Europe and North America). Contrary to these assumptions, it can be confirmed that Gothic mode has indeed been appropriated by many non–Western fiction writers. An in- depth interrogation of Nnedi Okorafor’s, selected novels like ‘Who Fears death’, Akata Witch and The Book of Phoenix reveal that she does indeed appropriate Gothic elements. This article therefore critically examines aspects of Gothic tradition in Nnedi Okorafor’s selected novels. It seeks to portray how unique Gothic motifs like monstrosity, villainy and morality have been appropriated, transformed and complicated in Nnedi Okorafor’s selected novels ‘Who Fears death’, ‘Akata Witch’ and ‘The Book of Phoenix’. This study found out that that the three motifs indeed exist in Okorafor’s selected novels and are closely related. Gothic Monsters are generally implicated in subversion of social norms and nature. This often renders them villainous and their defeat, as portrayed in the analysed texts, leads to a restoration of moral order in a given society. Yet the findings affirm that physical or moral monstrosity of a character does not necessarily qualify her or him to be a villain. Villainy is tied to innate monstrosity which manifests itself through characters’ inhuman, unjust, and oppressive attitude towards the perceived other. This piece therefore concludes that Nnedi Okorafor does indeed appropriate the Gothic motifs of monstrosity, villainy and morality in a manner that offers radically fresh means of highlighting Africa’s complex reality.

The first few years of British occupation in Zimbabwe was characterised by power struggle between the indigenous population groups who were dissatisfied with systematic settler style of dispossessing them of their wealth and power. The result was local and regional wars, (Rebellions/ Uprisings/ Umvhukela/ 1st Chimurenga). After the war, the British South African Company (BSAC) documented and memorialised most prominent battles of the conflict and yet the indigenous people who could not read and write could not do the same. The article seeks to motivate Zimbabweans to recognise the participation of the indigenous people into this conflict as a historic event whose documentation and memorialisation is an important component of the liberation heritage of Zimbabwe. The documentation and memorialisation of the conflict by the other belligerent is enough authentication that the indigenous people staged a brave and heroic fight which doubtlessly was characterised by commitment to a genuine cause of the black people to protect their birth right. It is only the inability to read and write of our ancestry which has mandated us to accept the description of the era as a dark history, which is worthy documentation and memorialisation for the benefit of the present and future generation. The researchers employed qualitative research method of acquiring data through desktop research and observation techniques. The article came to conclusion that the war between Zimbabwe and the then Rhodesia and their opponents should be documented so as to assist the present generation appreciate the history of the nation and preserve their heritage.

This study is an account of noun predication in CiTonga. The morphemes responsible for noun predication are identified and discussed to bring forth their morphosyntactic role. Data for the study are collected mainly through intuition. The informing theoretical perspective in the study is Distributed Morphology. This theory addresses the interface between morphological and syntactic processes. The study advances that noun predicative morphemes in Tonga, in addition to converting nouns into predicates, implement two degrees of emphasis on the noun to which they are preprefixed. It is further noted that each predicative morpheme is restricted to specific noun classes. From the data used, the study also notes that predicative morphemes (morphemes used to convert noun into predicates) are governed by the noun that they predicate morphophonologically. In terms of meaning, it is noted that predicate nouns have two levels of meaning; the literal and the actual meaning. The study concludes that predicative morphemes in CiTonga are highly productive and can be analysed phonologically, morphologically, syntactically and semantically.

Abstract The future of mankind will depend on the ability of the individual to acquire Self-knowledge. The preservation of autonomy of the individual is supported by learning to fathom one's own unconscious and inner being, the undiscovered self. By consciously developing Self-knowledge the possibility originates for the individual to make his own conscious choices and to understand an other human being. It often takes a great deal of effort from an individual to consciously open up to his inner being. Gaining experiences related to intra-personal development and consciously reflecting on those experiences, is essential to keep the conscious intra-personal development process in motion. Education can lend a helping hand during this process, from the start of the school career of children, by making room in the curriculum for affective and experiential education. Theory disturbs the experiential orientation and the focus on emotions. Offer affective and experiential education to children from an early age, with plenty of personal room, and continuing this form of education until they leave school, supports young people to become more and more self-directing. The way in which this form of education is taken care for is crucial for its success.

Abstract Navigation through global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) has become an indispensable part of modern life with threats such as GNSS interference, making it necessary to uncover relevant psychological aspects in the context of the GNSS construct, diverse interference events, and the use of related technologies. A total of n = 122 subjects participated in an online survey, which included scales and specifically constructed items on GNSS usage, acceptance, dependence, and self-assessed sense of direction and relevance of basic psychological needs. In addition, frequently emphasized factors influencing acceptance and use of diverse technologies were recorded according to the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT; Venkatesh et al., 2003). Correlation analyses showed that the frequency of GNSS use was associated with both effort expectation of appropriate technologies, hedonistic motivation, habits of using GNSS-enabled devices, and specific aspects of mobility. In terms of reported GNSS dependency, negative correlations were found with self-assessed orientation ability. It was also possible to identify voluntariness in the use of related technologies, the age of the users, and the relevance of self-determination as essential variables in the context of GNSS use. The results underline the need for further investigation of psychological aspects and contribute to existing discussions in the context of various threat scenarios.
摘要全球卫星导航系统(GNSS)导航已成为现代生活中不可或缺的一部分，但GNSS干扰等威胁日益严重，因此有必要在GNSS结构、干扰事件的多样性以及相关技术的使用背景下，揭示相关的心理方面。在线调查共n = 122名被调查者，问卷内容包括GNSS使用、接受度、依赖性、自评方向感和基本心理需求相关性的量表和专门构建的项目。此外，根据技术接受和使用统一理论(UTAUT;Venkatesh et al.， 2003)。相关分析表明，使用GNSS的频率与适当技术的努力预期、享乐主义动机、使用GNSS设备的习惯以及移动性的具体方面相关。就报告的GNSS依赖性而言，自我评估的定位能力与报告的GNSS依赖性呈负相关。还可以确定使用相关技术的自愿性、用户的年龄和自决的相关性是使用全球导航卫星系统的基本变量。结果强调需要进一步研究心理方面，并有助于在各种威胁情景的背景下进行现有的讨论。

Abstract In the development of sustainable social housing, the residents, operating staff, and administrative staff - as users - face challenges in relation to a lack of involvement. The aim of this research is to contribute with results regarding these challenges. These contributions to the discussion are based on the results of a qualitative evaluation of sustainable social housing. The results suggest that it can be an advantage to utilise user experiences in the development of future sustainable social housing with a view to strengthening the user involvement process. The argument is that a greater degree of user involvement respects people’s experiences as being a contribution to the development of new projects. In addition, the research suggests that the early involvement of residents, operating staff, and administrative staff can strengthen the sense of project ownership and community, as well as the project’s social sustainability. It is claimed that user involvement can promote social sustainability, which is a significant factor, since the intention behind a project’s sustainability is that the residents will later have ownership and an interest in ensuring that it works in accordance with its intentions.
