- Keywords:conflict; socio-religious conflict; youth;
- Summary/Abstract:Conflicts situations generally result in enormous loss of life, massive displacement, huge economic loss, socio-economic under-development and political instability. The African continent is conflict-prone and Nigeria is not spared her share of the problem. In fact, the conflict dynamics in Nigeria includes two powerful and explosive factors − religion and the youth. Thus, whether acting as precursor or fodder, they constitute the most amorphous and intractable social phenomena in the current socio-political landscape in Nigeria because of the burgeoning youth population and the religious interpretative lens. This paper argues that uneven opportunities and inadequate social and security apparatuses in the society combine well with unbridled religious fervor to engender conflicts in the nation. The study adopted the frustration-aggression theory and the methods of data collection were largely documentary. The data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis.Recommendations include that a proper profiling of the youth population should be undertaken to address the peculiar challenges and needs of young people. Again, labor-oriented and beneficial projects should be set-up to tackle the high levels of poverty and unemployment among the people while adequately engaging the youth.

- Summary/Abstract:Principles have a significant place in the civilization. These standards were deep-rooted in the psychological framework of mind. In India, these ordinary strategies set up by ancient people have been accepted and followed in today’s modern world of competition. We have focused this research paper on the lessons of management from usual customs. We interviewed vegetable vendors to learn management lessons from their life. Data have been taken from the smaller regions.We found that they have conventional values for management of their business.They have a strong vision and set of beliefs, which stand them with profit in terms of values rather than money in the modern competitive world. The hypothesis included that the conventional management followed by common people has its strong place in modern society. We have described the supremacy of traditional management in India and its implication upon the modern management concepts of profit maximization.

- Summary/Abstract:At the present time, it is increasingly accepted that science is a systematic knowledge of the world that begins by observing and collecting data and continuing on the basis of accumulated experiences. An effective management will give life to theories by putting them into practice by knowing the specifics of the field of activity and its context. The cumulative organization of knowledge and experience has led to the origination and strengthening of science.A collection of figures, however, is not sufficient to say that a particular leader is conducting a scientific activity or that he masters the art of driving. There are people who know a lot of things, but when they relate to their peers, they do not have the art of communicating the principles learned from the study and the experience.Science begins in practice, but practice cannot ignore science. This article will highlight the fact that educational management is both science and art. It is emphasized that the effective development of the educational process must take into account both the scientific aspect and the art aspect

- Summary/Abstract:Gender equality or non-discrimination has been recognized in a wide range of binding and none binding international human rights instruments, including declarations and other standards e.g. Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women adopted in 1979 and came into force 3Sept. 1981, Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination of1965, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights etc. International and national law chiefly regulated discrimination as it relates to gender equality when addressing cases of human rights. Equal treatment of men and women in the workplace around the globe including Nigeria is faced with several challenges. In recent time, women have made progress in the educational sector and despite their educational attainments; they are faced with discrimination at the workplace. The discrimination witnessed by women on a daily basis is not distant from the level of education or access to education as well as culture and religion, which equally regulate rights and duties of women in various backgrounds. This paper addresses human rights as it relates to gender and discrimination by appraising gender impacts on culture and religion, education, and workplace under Nigerian perspective. State party’s obligation under international and or national law in human rights protection under civil and political rights as well as economic social and cultural rights will also be addressed.In conclusion, possible reforms are suggested, which includes adopting national human rights legislation dealing specifically on discrimination in the workplace

- Summary/Abstract:This study investigated the need to provide a formal artificial intelligence (AI) health care education model to the 21th century AI health care learners. Health care has continuously transformed at all levels of health care administrative, operational, and practical. This vastly changing health care industry requires a synthesis of communicating multifaceted and diverse forms of thinking.AI health care professional entities within business, technology, art, biomedical, and other health care related sectors must work cross-functionally to establish roles that will meet the need toward improving health care at all levels. In order to achieve this pursuit, we researched and investigated how to create an AI health care education model fostering collaboration and innovation. There has been a significant calling for AI heath care collaboration of academicians, clinical scientist, and health care practitioners of all levels to identify a comprehensive AI health care education model due to the current void in the health care course design. To further this empirical study, the researchers focused on a qualitative study comprising of qualitative interviews and surveys inviting participants from the AI health care, business, biomedical, clinical scientist, academia, and capital investors to expound on the level of significance each professional sector have toward AI Health care education.

- Summary/Abstract:In the large context of the modern and postmodern religiosity, the Lutheran theologian Paul Tillich observed that, in the large context of being/becoming, people are transformed in objects, in medical, psychological and sociological meanings (Achimescu, 2013, 184), marking in his statement the huge process of alienation of the human being, characteristic for our contemporaneity. In fact, exposed to a multitude of vectors of influence and pressure, of multiple economic and cultural conditioning, the post-modern man is actually estranged from the self, from his profound vocation to dialogue and communion with the divinity, constitutive elements for the human being, by the face of God, which is, disregarding the ontological failure of the proto-parents, imprinted in the being of each individual.All this drama of the contemporary humanity takes place – no matter its concrete forms/ manifestation in time and space – between the earth-heaven, absolutized by the recent man (H-R. Patapievici) and considered an autonomous ontological unit, and the sky, from which the human being, called for deification, separates firstly as cult and liturgy and later intellectually; between the earth-heaven, which became the nucleus of a new geocentric Universe, and the sky, rather ignored when it is not the object of more or less occult or esoteric speculations, neo-gnosis or pseudo-metaphysics.
