The Nature of Morality
type: item
description: One of the essential dialogs in moral philosophy concerns the beginning of morality or, as such, the establishment, on which morality is based. There have been distinctive speculations that have constructed morality with respect to natural law, human instinct, human needs or understandings made between the people. Some of these hypotheses, for example, nature law, and agreement hypothesis cannot effectively clarify a large portion of our moral encounters. There are also arguments springing out on objective and subjective views of morality, as many persons think morality is objective while some think it is subjective. It is the aim of this study to look at the nature of morality, specifically the objective and subjective views of morality, and their shortcomings.

Didactic Handling of Digital Number System in Teaching and Learning Process
type: item
description: The teaching of complicated subjects like that of the digital number system, presents extensive comprehension difficulties to students. This is attributed due to the lack of didactics and pedagogical competencies of young teachers. However through problem solving based learning techniques employed by students/teachers, the subjects can be made interesting and simple. The modus operandi is by using a structured problem solving terminology and steps. This case study attempts to exemplify the teaching of digital number system to the students of electronics and communication engineering and computer science. The learning may be laterally explored to facilitate most of difficult engineering subjects.

Feminist Consciousness: A Syntactic Analysis of Bayo Adebowale’s Lonely Days
type: item
description: As an interdisciplinary discipline, feminism seeks to address issues of equality and equity based on gender, gender expression, gender identity, sex and sexuality in line with social theories and political activism. Feminism can be traced to the evolution and practice of inequality between the sexes. However, the issue of women’s struggle for empowerment dates back to the history of feminism. The history of feminism itself is the history of women’s resistance and opposition to patriarchy. It is an ideology in art and life that resists patriarchy and challenges “the female essence”. It is the right that Bayo Adebowale skillfully employs syntactic features to expose women’s struggle, oppression and marginalization in African continent. This paper therefore focuses on the analysis of syntactic features such as sentence types, tenses, modal auxiliary verbs and others. The use of these special syntactic features is to create awareness and aesthetic sensibility and its impact on the readers and how its exhibits negative effects of women’s oppression, struggle and imagination in Africa continent.

Challenges in e-Government System in Rajasthan with Special Reference to Tribal District Dungarpur, Rajasthan, India
type: item
description: Dungarpur district in the tribal area of Rajasthan state is continuously stepping forward towards ICT-enabled governance. All the ICT-enabled governance applications like E-Mitra/CSC, E-Sugam, land record computerization, i.e., Apna Khata, etc. are doing well and the usage of these applications is increasing very rapidly in the urban area of Dungarpur. But when it comes to the rural part of this district, the story is different in different blocks. The government is trying to provide more access to government services through various e-governance projects but there are some challenges in providing e-governance in this district because of geographical problems, electricity and internet connectivity problems, low literacy rate, etc. Major findings of this study are low awareness in rural area; high satisfaction level of users; low usages; e-governance projects are still not reaching the poor; there are several local intermediaries; women participation is low; and many other problems. The study concludes that much of the potential benefits of e-governance are not being realized.

Evaluation of Jacques Derrida’s Position on Death Penalty; A Case against the Abolitionist
type: item
description: This paper, an Evaluation of Jacques Derrida’s position on Death Penalty; A case against the Abolitionist, is aimed at raising logical arguments against the abolitionist by providing basis for the justification of Death penalty, while exposing the merits and demerits of the argument of Jacque Derrida in support of the abolition of capital punishment. Responding to Derrida Death penalty Seminar of 1999/2000 which took an abolitionist stance against the practice of death penalty, this paper argued that, Derrida’s de construction of theologico-Political concept of the sovereign right over life and death in view of abolishing capital punishment, should be understood in terms of the unconditional renunciation of sovereignty as called for in Derrida’s later political writing, Rogues in particular. This paper thus, adopted the overlapping philosophical method of historical, critical and hermeneutical analysis, evaluation and prescription to web together its arguments in support of Capital Punishment while giving special attention to the positions of Jacque Derrida with regards to the idea of death penalty. The work made a case against the Abolitionist by providing basis for the justification of Death penalty. It is the opinion of this paper that, even the capital punishment is not enough to right a wrong or engender justice. Rather restitution should also be made on the side of the offender in other forms while also giving his life as a punishment. It is often perceived that the lextalions is principle is the apogee of punishment when applied to serious crimes, especially culpable homicide. This work sets up yet a higher bar anchored on the perspective of critical cogitation and replaces this prescription of “ tooth for a tooth and eye for an eye” with some teeth for teeth and the eyes for an eye” advancing arguments to move the frontiers of debate on capital punishment forward.

Historical Perspective on Social Justice
type: item
description: From antiquity to date, communal clashes, inter tribal even to global crisis of war is antecedented by penetration of ill-will, unfair sharing formula of human and natural resources by a privileged few. This has resulted in high social, economic and political acrimony, hence the growing calls to reframe the politics of poverty reduction and social protection in particular, in terms of extending the ‘social contract’ to the poorest groups as people are getting increasingly aware of injustice. This premise is on the widening gap between the rich and poor on daily bases. With the increase in awareness, knowledge, technology and the advent of post-modernist era, the quest for social justice has heightened. All through the era of Philosophy, Philosophers differ on the definition, and what constitute social justice. Until now, there is no unifying explanation on what social justice is and consists of. This paper tends to look into the history of social Justice and different philosophers from different epochs. It also tried to expose the problems inherent in the definition and what constitute social justice, and cautioned that complimentary imperative should be employ to curtail human egoistic tendency that aids social injustice.

A Study to Find the Factors Affecting the Reduced Intensity of Po:rag Festival Celebration among the Mishing Tribes of Assam, India
type: item
description: Po:rag is a post-harvest festival observed by missing tribe of Assam. Drummers and dancers from nearby villages are invited to perform with their full potential providing wholesome entertainment to the venue. Po:rag was celebrated with full pomp and show. However, it has been seen that the intensity of celebration of Po:rag in the present days is decreasing as compared to the ancient times. So, our study was designed to study the factors that have influenced the intensity. Hence, a survey was conducted among the missing community with some questionnaires prepared with scientific viewpoints to analyze the factors that can influence the intensity of Po:rag celebration. About 87.66% of the total population believe in the fact of diminishing intensity of Po:rag celebration. The study also suggested that the major factor responsible for its diminishing intensity is urbanization, reduced responsibility of youngsters in social activities, less earnings of the entire community and either scarcity or expensiveness raw materials used in Po:rag celebrations.

A Comparative Analysis on Issues Concerning Euthanasia: Legal, Religious and International Position
type: item
description: The concept of Euthanasia dates back to the ancient civilization. It basically connotes the practice of deliberately bringing a person’s life to an end so as to relieve him from unbearable and never ending pain and suffering. The concept of Euthanasia is highly debatable. The controversy lies in the question that whether people should be provided aid in bringing an end to their life, or should they be left alone to bear unbearable pain from an incurable disease. There have been diverse opinions on the issue of Euthanasia. The controversy has gained momentum because of the rapid developments in countries like Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Oregon of USA which have legalized Euthanasia. The concept of Euthanasia gained heights in India, when the Supreme Court legalized passive euthanasia in the famous case of Aruna Shanbaug. However, the Apex Court clarified that active Euthanasia is still ‘illegal’ in India, in the absence of any law to the contrary. There are both have and have-nots; and whether a person should be anti or pro Euthanasia depends on the ideology of each individual. The legalization of Euthanasia can lead to more open scrutiny, without any scope of undue harassment of the patient. Until active euthanasia becomes legal, it will be carried on clandestinely and there will be scope of misuse. Legalizing active euthanasia and practicing it within the confines of law would work as a magic potion and make death a blessing, not a tragedy. This paper highlights the concept of euthanasia in different religious perspectives, its position in various countries, the debate on legalizing it and present legal position.

People Perspective about Evolving, Brains of Givers or Takers!
type: item
description: The psychobiologist’s classification of left brained and right brained people advices how the stimulus may be designed for ensuring the growth of each type, or, as to how each may be taught or what vocation be prescribed for them. Viz. the right brained people were seen to venture more into artistic pursuits and being less analytical might face learning problems. On the other hand the left or digital brained people are more inside out – growing out, setting up things as they perceive or in short – demanding (takers) and so on. This paper makes an account of the three ways of classification of people, and their integration, if any, to allow them to progress towards excellence. If excellence is the objective, the various inputs should be well aligned to process them to consummation. The attributes must be put to right uses which are possibly functions of the people types to derive the best performance out of people system.

Assessment of Collection Development Practices in Afe Babalola University Library, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria
type: item
description: Collection development is a vital aspect of the library function, which greatly contributes to the availability and adequacy of resources. The study investigates the assessment of collection development practices in Afe Babalola University Library. The study adopted a survey research design. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data for the study, and descriptive statistical method was used in analyzing the data collected. The finding shows that purchase and donation are the major source of acquisition of materials. It was discovered that the University Librarian and the Founder mostly acquire the materials in the library. The finding also revealed that there is no laid down policy for acquisition of materials. The selection method mostly used are vendor’s list and librarian’s link. Finally, the study revealed that fund is the major impediment for the acquisition of resources. The study, therefore, recommend that university management should allocate more fund to the library in order to improve and even distribute its collection.

Democracy and Gasset’s ‘The Revolt of the Masses’: An Exposition
type: item
description: Democracy simply put, is the government of “the people”. There is no doubt that the rise of “the people” is now a principal political force in our contemporary world. Though democracy is largely celebrated today, Ortega y Gasset, in his book Revolt of the Masses thinks that it is an unfortunate incident. For him, the masses, regrettably, are vulgar. The masses are drunken by the possibilities that contemporary science has made feasible on one hand. Then again, their obscenity keeps them from realizing what to do with the conceivable outcomes. So, the masses float. The masses don't comprehend the past. This absence of knowledge endangers the masses’ progress with negative potential outcomes, but they want to lead, rule and involve in government. The “revolt of the masses” is simply a rebellion of hysteria against reason in human activities. This paper attempts to look critically at Otega’s Revolt of the Masses and democracy. It then agrees that the rise of the people has caused lot of problems, and against democracy, Plato’s philosopher king should be advocated for.

Exploring Traditional Wedding Ceremony of Majangir
type: item
description: This study attempts to explore the traditional wedding ceremonies of Majangir. It tries to give a description and analysis of the traditional wedding ceremony of the Majangir people, called “wawan” by the people themselves. The study attempted to explore and identify the most important cultural elements of the traditional wedding ceremony of the Majangir community and show how it is performed. Moreover, it intends to show the value system of the people in relation to marriage practices. The data was collected through direct observation including photographing and video recording. Key man informant interview and focused grouped discussion also employed for detailed information. All of the data was analyzed qualitatively based on their types. The collected data by observation, questioner and focused group discussion was analyzed and tried to triangulate for validity. In the Majangir wedding tradition, the consent between the would-be husband and wife (i.e. the girl and the boy) is the common practice. Early marriage is not exercised in this community. Sex before marriage is also prohibited in the Majangir culture. The preparation for the wedding ceremony and the bride’s wealth requirements are simple and easily affordable. Now, all of these traditions have completely changed due to the influence of the surrounding cultures and the Christian missionaries. The youth do not know what was happening in the past. In addition, they consider the traditional practices as backward and outdated. Instead, they opt to copy life styles and habits of the nearby Ethiopian nationalities and the Western Societies. As a result, the Majangir traditional practices, including marriage ceremony, are giving way for new intrusions. This intern results the alienation between the elders and the younkers. It thus appears crucial to record and archive the cultural practices and knowledge system of the Majangir community, with good description, for the existing and the coming generations. Keywords…

Impact of Addition of Bagasse Ash on Production of Sesamum indicum and Soil Fertility
type: item
description: In this present scenario, use of chemical based fertilizer have played an important role in improving and increasing the yield of crop, but also degrade and reduce the soil quality (physically and chemically). As an alternative of it, the waste from sugar industries can be used for the amendments in crop yield, soil physico-chemical characteristics and give an economically reasonable way to reuse these waste in an environmental friendly manner and to work out sustainable development. The current research work targeted the production of Sesamum indicum crop with the introduction of sugar industries bagasse Ash into it, with the different concentration @ 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% respectively in the pot having 2 kg soil, compared to the control sample by the pot experiment. The soil composition and characteristics, under investigation has shown a high pH (7.6 )value, low content of organic matter (8300 mg kg-1), and deficiency of N (336 mg kg-1), P (4.2 mg kg-1), Zn (5.9 mg kg-1) and Fe (5.3 mg kg-1). bagasse ash was highly rich in micronutrients like Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu and also constitute sufficient amount of K and P. Consequently, total porosity of soil, available P, K, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu (48, 220, 38, 110, 41, 40 mg kg-1) content in soil, improved with the introduction of bagasse ash. On the other hand, dry bulk density reduced which is a positive effect. ECe and pH of the soil was increased in little amount. Thus, with the application of 20% of bagasse ash, the yield of Sesamum indicum crop the result can be enhanced to 40-60% due to the bagasse ash application.
