Abstract: India is common law federal country, with separation of powers between the legislature, the judiciary and the executive. There is a division of legislative powers between states and the federation itself under article 246 of the Constitution. Each state has its own executive government, which functions independently from the federal government. In July 1860, James Wilson, the first Finance Member of the Governor General in Council, quoted thus from the authority of Manu while introducing the act for levying income tax in the country, As the leech, the calf and the bee take their food little by little, even so must the King draw from his realm, moderate annual taxes. In 1924, a Central Board of Revenue was created to administer central taxes. The attainment of Independence marked another paradigm shift for taxation.

Abstract: Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are increasingly being incorporated into the internal workings of government, globally. This is done in pursuit of a more effective, efficient and responsive machinery of governance. This paper asseses the potentials of e-government to overcoming the challenges that inhibit Ofu local government in Kogi State (North- Central, Nigeria). It sets out in specific terms to asseses Ofu local government's performance, investigate core challenges that impedes performance, assese the extent to which e-government tools are used in its internal workings as well as what potential threats exist that could supplant its adoption. The results show that Ofu local government's performance with regards to capital projects, speed in service delivery, transparency and accountability among others, are very poor. Though there are proven research and empirical evidences to the capacity of ICTs to reform and reposition public bureaucracies for better performance, there are a number of potential threats to its adoption in Ofu local government. This study identifies some of these impediments like; low computer literacy, lack of political will, lack of adequate ICT infrastructures, excessive bureaucracy, among others. The paper therefore recommends that government should invest in the provision of ICT infrastructures, as well as in purposeful ICT training. Furthermore, concerted efforts should be made to improve power supply, since electricity is the live-wire of ICT. Besides, transparency and accountability structures like freedom of information (FOI) should be activated and empowered, in order to equip the common man with the vital information needed to demand accountability from the custodians of public wealth

Title | : | An Islamic Perspective of Sex and Sexuality: A Lesson for Contemporary Muslim |
Country | : | Nigeria |
Authors | : | Dr. Sikiru Gbenga Eniola |
: | 10.9790/0837-1222028 |
Abstract: This Paper sets to investigate the aspect of an Islamic perspective of sex and sexuality such as the goals of marriage, the practice of homosexuality, celibacy and monasticism. It also looks at the Islamic guidelines which could assist Muslims to uphold sexual morality such as faithful to one's wife or husband, proper dressing, early marriage, lowering of the gaze/ modesty and the concept of adultery. The methodology employed in this paper was based on information and analysis of the data from books, journals, archives, newspapers, reports, internet, the Holy Qur'an and Ahadith. The paper reveals that, Islam considers sex as one of the essential human needs that must be properly satisfied. It is a necessity of the human being that, it requires favourable consideration. Infact, Islam considers it as one of the requirements of life that should be properly and lawfully satisfied. Moreover, Islam does not treat it as distasteful, filthy or heinous act of man. It also, considers "Zina" not only as a great sin but also as an act, which opens the gate for many other shameful acts, which destroys the very basis of the family, leads to quarrels, murders, ruins reputation/ properties and also spreads numerous diseases, both physical and spiritual. It is recommended that, Muslim should marry as early as they are able. Muslims should not fear poverty nor should they apprehend increase of family members as a result of marriage, and thus, because of that, stay away from marriage.

Abstract: The link between the natural world and writing poetry is one of the keys to understanding Ted Hughes's work. This paper sheds light on Hughes's attempts to make vocal the inner life or the depths of human unconscious. Hughes's poetic philosophy harps with the tune of Sigmund Freud's theory of psychoanalysis. Freud's 'id'suggested a more subtle way in which the bestial and the instinctive could figure in human psyche. The interaction of the human and the beast worlds have taken the form of depicting human life in terms of some notion of animal behavior. This has served many purposes-to embody specific human emotions, often uncontrolled emotions, to depict a way of escaping human limitations, especially seeming narrowness of city life, morality or purely intellectual discernments. Similarly Hughes's poems depict a breaking free from some perceived set of social or political limitations that the writer wishes to expose and change. By revolutionizing our understanding of the inner workings of the unconscious Ted Hughes was a major influence on the twentieth century thought.

Abstract: One of the least researched and neglected area of research has been the political economy bases of health. The paper has acknowledged the per curial health problem and needs of women and attempts a study of the social, political, cultural and economic effects of Toxemias of pregnancy and the puerperium among Tiv women of Central Nigeria. The paper further identified the elements of the political base of health as being the use of political power to determine the ownership of the means of living and the sharing of society's wealth among individuals in Nigeria. The paper focuses on the Tiv rural community of Central Nigeria and has highlighted the Nigerian National Health Policy and the socio-cultural gender discriminations afflicting the country. The paper is of the opinion that political factors and discriminatory health policies have contributed to the high degree and spread of human suffering and sees political authority , a determinant of allocation of values as a major stumbling block to gender played, are playing and will continue to play in changing the social, economic and cultural determinant of the health and other aspects of life of the womenfolk.

Title | : | Socio-Demographic Determinants of Child Sex Ratio and Its Regional Variation in India |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr. M. R. Singariya |
: | 10.9790/0837-1224549 |
Abstract: Rapid decline in child sex ratio (CSR) is a serious problem with severe socio-economic, demographic and cultural implication. Using Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and Quantile Regression estimates for thirty five states and union territories of India, the paper tries to examine the determinants of child sex ratio. The results show that the female literacy rate has significant positive while male literacy and percentage share of the urban population have a significant negative association with child sex ratio in India. Decadal population growth rate has a significant positive association with rural child sex ratios but insignificant negative associated with urban child sex ratio. The revealing quantile regression estimates suggest that female literacy and decadal population growth rate have significant positive, while male literacy, urban population and infant mortality rate have a significant negative association at 0.10 quantile, where the problem is severe. The variables like urban population and infant mortality rate have significant lowest negative association at the upper tail (0.90 quantile) of the child sex ratio. Furthermore, the paper also highlighted regional variations through regional dummy variables. Coefficients of child sex ratio with regional dummy variables show that north - west region has highest negative and southern region has a highest positive influence on juvenile sex ratio of India. Thus strengthening of female education and reduction in higher usage of sex determination tests and infant mortality rate is an utmost need for balancing child sex ratio in north and northwest region of India. Keywords: Child sex ratio, OLS, male and female literacy, regional variations, India.

Abstract: Command agriculture is a rural development strategy adopted by the Zimbabwe government as one of several strategies in its broad land reform policy framework. It was said to be geared toward increasing cereal production to boost national food reserves. The army championed this programme. This agricultural model targeted irrigation schemes nationwide. Command agriculture was planned and implemented without consultation with irrigation plot holders, and in this study, specifically the Makwe community. Using the case study approach I conducted a series of interviews between 2005 and 2006 to ascertain the implications of this land husbandry model to livelihoods of Makwe irrigators. The "command‟ style the army arrived at Makwe caused some shocks and stresses to plot holders whose market gardening was destroyed by the army to pave way for cereal farming. The arrival of soldiers turned this lucrative venture and a source of livelihoods for Makwe plot holders; and villagers of Lushongwe and Wenlock, into a "collective" whereby the former farmed the irrigation rather than their individual plots in this scheme. Command agriculture is thus viewed as one of those top down rural development models that fail to recognize local knowledge in development planning.

Abstract: Fruit trees in Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir like other plantations in different parts of the state, nation and world are facing host of problems and inadequacies such as undulating topography, varying climatic and soil conditions, scanty cultivable land, and serious soil erosion. On the other hand they are exposed to the ravages of pests and diseases. With the intensification of agricultural production practices and evolution of high yielding varieties and types of various fruit crops, the resurgence of the pests has out broken massively. Besides pests of known identity some new races of flies, beetles, and caterpillars are becoming new menace. They rob a measurable and considerable portion of the farmer's profit. As per estimate about 20 percent of the total loss to the crops is attributed to the insect's pests alone. Therefore proper management of the pest is crucial to harvest good crop.

Abstract: Water Is One Of The Most Precious Natural Resources And A Key Element In The Socio-Economic Development Of A Nation. A Person Can Live Without Food For A Month, But Only For A Week Without Water. On The Basis Of The Detailed Analysis Of The Water Resources Of Kashmir Valley, It Was Concluded That Water In Plenty Is Available Both Through Rainfall, Snowfall, Glacier Melt And Underground Water. But On The Basis Of The Utilization Of Water It Is Characterized As Scarcity In Plenty. There Are Four Major Indicators Used So Far To Measure The 'Scarcity In Plenty' And 'Plenty In Scarcity'. If Hundred Per Cent Cultivated Areas Are Not Irrigated For Agricultural Purposes And Availability Of Water In Plenty Is There Both Surface And Underground, It Indicates That We Are Not Familiar With The Irrigation Machinery To Use The Water. Since Water In Kashmir Is Available At Higher Reaches Gradient Method To Irrigate The Cultivated Area Can Be Used. All The Cultivated Area Located Especially At Karewas Is Not Irrigated. Similarly Production Of Hydroelectricity Is Not Hundred Per Cent Related With The Water Resources, Even Today Major Portion Of Electricity Is Produced Through The Diesel. Third And Fourth Indicator To Measure The Scarcity In Plenty Is Related With Potable Or Safe Drinking Water And Industrial Water Both Are Not Available Satisfactorily. On The Whole Kashmir Valley Is A Thickly Populated Region Of India Which Is Characterized As Scarcity In Plenty The Water Resource Of Kashmir Valley.

Abstract: Morbidity among elderly people has an important influence on their physical functioning and psychological well being. Morbidity Profile and its determinants have lot of implications of elderly people's life. Morbidity is the study of the frequency of disease, illness, sickness of ill-health in a population. Morbidity data are usually classified according to the international classification of diseases, and are broken down according to such variables as age, sex place of residence, and socio-economic characteristics. Morbidity is the extent of illness (disease) injury, or disability in a defined population. Particularly in circumstances of low mortality, such as exist now in the industrialized nations, morbidity data give a fuller description of the physical well being of a population than do mortality data. Mortality data do not reflect the level of nonfatal illness or impairments, or mental illness (John A. Ross, 1982).

Abstract: Feminism is a collection of movements and ideologies armed at defining, establishing and defending equal political, economic and social rights for women. French Philosopher Charles Fourier is credited with having originated the word in 1837. It is a global and revolutionary ideology as well as a socio-cultural movement that aims at the freedom of woman from male domination in the patriarchal society. It highlights various hidden and oppressive aspects of man – woman relationship. It has a profound impact on the debate concerning the relation between genders, culture and creativity and knocks down the claims of certain cultures, which believe that woman can only produce children and not art. This movement fought for the issues related to women like gender discrimination male domination, oppressive culture, domestic violence, sexual harassment, reproductive rights, property right equal salary, equal opportunities for career and business, liberation and empowerment of women.

Abstract: India under Congress regime and others also has not yet attained positive response from its explicit concern for socialistic pattern of society under the grab of mixed economy and liberal-democratic socialism. As a government the Congress creates certain socio-economic situation, which the Congress as a party has failed to cope with. On the other, certain socio-economic and socio-political constraints have made the Congress both as a party and as a government quite unresponsive to the demands of the people. The social and economic reforms remained unimplemented.

Abstract: The thrust of this study was predicated on the need to analyze the nature of coverage given to the Augusta 109 naval helicopter crash by The Tide, The Punch and The Nation newspapers with a view to streamlining depth and pattern. The primary objective was to infer the disposition of the newspapers towards the crash, in the light of inexplicable air crashes in Nigeria, as highlighted through news contextualization within the parameters of advocacy journalism. The study necessitated content analysis. Fifteen (15) issues of the newspapers were selected and studied using the constructed calendar as a frame. Inter-coder reliability showed a correlation of 0.82. Quantitative analysis was done using newshole as measured in column centimeters while qualitative analysis was done using the Constant Comparative Technique. Findings revealed that out of a total newshole of 829,783 col. cms, the papers allotted only about four percent to the incident. Findings further revealed an abysmal output by the newspapers in terms of depth with no editorial on the issue. Qualitative analysis showed a non- proactive disposition towards advocacy. It was therefore recommended that there should be an awakening by the Nigerian press to enrich reports with depth while being proactively disposed towards advocacy journalism with a view to according animation to its watchdog role.
