Abstract: Background: Visual impairment is viewed as one of the most threatening disabilities. About 40-50 per cent of the people with disabilities who have visual impairment may be categorized as heavy drinkers. Most studies conducted to establish the information needs of visually impaired people have concentrated on the format of the information. Yet, accessible health information is key to reducing health inequalities in health care experienced among the visually impaired. Only a few empirical studies have examined the health information needs of the visually impaired. Some of the gaps related to the types of health information include non-format aspects like the content type. This study investigates the audience reception of alcohol abuse messages among the visually impaired in Kenya......

Abstract: The study explores the impact of globalization on the Nigeria service sector performance from 1981 to 2020. It used time series data sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin. The study adopted the ARDL model in analyzing the short and long term effect of globalization on the service sector.Globalization is proxy by foreign portfolio investment, global oil price, and trade openness, whereas, gross fixed capital formation serves as control variable. From the findings, it was discovered that the sector is driven by global oil price as process of globalization, complemented by gross fixed capital formation in both periods. There is indication also, that the service sector.......

Abstract: The press has no exclusive right in the Constitution of the ‗World's largest democracy.' Article 19 (1) of the Indian Constitution assures that ―all citizens shall have the right to freedom of speech and expression.‖ However, theexceptions under this article-including contempt of court, defamation, incitement to offence, security of state have often been used as strong tools to take action against the press. This research paper proposes to examine if India is currently facing another undeclared emergency as it introduces Citizenship Amendment Act while media reportage during the protests against this act was severely suppressed. While doing so, the paper draws parallels with the Emergency of 1975 declared by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi as the press then too, was scrutinized gravely. The paper also attempts to explore the similarities between two political parties- Congress and Bhartiya Janata Party as these political parties differing greatly with respect to their ideologies, still pose certain similarities when it comes to suppression of media.

Abstract: Involvement of stakeholders in decision-making process ensures acceptability of all proposed objectives in an organization. In the school organization, a realization emerged in the 20th century that involving students in decision-making provides a solution to many of the institution's objectives including realization of good behaviour and discipline. However, despite the participation of students in decision-making in a range of issues, public secondary schools in some parts of Kenya such Kisumu still experience student unrests and disruptive behaviour. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the influence of student involvement in decision making on discipline management in public secondary schools in Kisumu County, Kenya. Specific objectives were to analyse how involving students in decision making through their elected leaders influence discipline management, and to explore.......

Abstract: Soviet invasion in Afghanistan in 1980s and the subsequent rise of Taliban led to the new wave of terrorism globally. Fighters from different countries came to help the Mujahidin groups in Afghanistan. Religious based terrorist activity came into existence after that with a goal to spread their agenda in their respective countries. Al-Qaeda took the lead here and financially helped these groups initially. This paper delves into detail about the rise of Taliban in Afghanistan. Afghanistan is strategically important place which is geographically to link to South Asia, Central Asian States and China. Recent development in Afghanistan where Taliban took the office to govern.......

Abstract: Post-Independence, different enactments have been sanctioned to counter terrorism in India. These rules have managed to deal with knowledge, preventive detainment, worry, search, seizure, examination, preliminary, rule of proof and punishment. Enactments, for example, the Maintenance of Internal Security Act (MISA), the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA), and the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) have been blamed for being lopsidedly draconian, severe and inclined to abuse for political additions. One mutual element between these......
