Title | : | Terrorism and the State of the Nigerian Nation: A Case Study of Boko Haram |
Country | : | Nigeria |
Authors | : | Charles Azgaku, Ph.D. |
Abstract: The Boko Haram sect is the latest of the Islamic Religious set that emerged and unleashed serious violence in the northern part of Nigeria. More than three hundred people were said to have been killed in Bauchi and Borno States within a week during the crisis in August, 2009. The sect got its name, Boko Haram, from its belief and philosophy of western civilisation. The name literally means "Education is prohibited or bad". In other words, education is considered to be Haram.This sect rejected western education simply because of the failure of the Nigerian Leaders who are exposed to western education, to improve their living conditions. This is why, during the uprising, government structure, like police posts and government properties became object of attacks.

Title | : | The Art of Configuring Docile Bodies: Reading Foucaultian Discipline in Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr. TK Pius |
Abstract: This paper on "The Art of Configuring Docile Bodies" attempts to apply Michel Foucault's concept of discipline as elucidated in his book "Discipline and Punish" as a critical tool to review the ways by which the monks of the Italian Benedictine monastery Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose" are subjected to rigorous religious discipline and operations of power . Power adopts various strategies to transform subjects into docile bodies outwardly through "dividing practices" and "scientific classification" and inwardly through "self-subjection". Foucault's delineation of the micro-levels of operation of power manifested through typical objectification of human subjects is discovered to be reflected in the subjectification of characters Eco depicts in his novel.

Title | : | Location and Spatial Arrangement: Their Role in Rehabilitating the Children In Conflict With the Law |
Country | : | Philippines |
Authors | : | Maria Virginia G. Aguilar |
Abstract: This study investigates how the location and spatial arrangement of St. Mary's Refuge, a youth facility for children in conflict with the law in the Philippines (CICL) influence its attainment of rehabilitative goals. Although a wealth of literature has examined the condition of CICL in institutions, little is known about the link between the physical aspect of a facility (location, floor area, layout, rooms, and other building attributes) and their rehabilitation. Through an ethnographic study of a youth facility and in-depth interviews of the CICL and their houseparents, the study presents rich descriptive data of how a facility's physical attributes critically influence the kind of structured and unstructured rehabilitative activities it can offer.

Title | : | Access to productive life and employability by persons with disabilities |
Country | : | Swaziland |
Authors | : | Dhemba Ishmael |
Abstract: The question of what persons with disabilities (PWDs) are capable of doing in their adult life, has remained a topical issue world over. This is so since some people erroneously believe that with a disability, one cannot operate efficiently in society. It is for this reason that PWDs have not been prepared enough for any productive future life. The truth being told, it is not enough and obviously misguided to see PWDs finishing school and entering the mainstream society "empty handed‟, without any survival skill(s). Such a scenario will be like dumping these people in their communities. In order for PWDs not to find themselves seemingly "dumped‟ into the mainstream society, empty handed, desperate, and with nothing to do, they need an education that equips them with survival skills, early enough, whilst they are still in their traditional school life..
