-Motorcycle safety is a significant concern in Indonesia due to the high incidence of traffic accidents, where motorcycles are the most frequently involved vehicles. This study conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) to identify and analyze research on risky riding behavior among motorcyclists in Indonesia. Using the PRISMA framework, studies published between 2019 and 2024 were selected based on predefined inclusion criteria. The review highlights various factors contributing to risky riding behavior, including external pressures such as daily income targets and passenger demands, insufficient road safety education, and socio-demographic influences. Gender differences also emerge, with men demonstrating a higher tendency for risky behaviors compared to women, often shaped by social and cultural norms. The findings underscore the need for evidencebased interventions, including safety-oriented incentive policies, integration of road safety education into formal curricula, and stricter traffic law enforcement supported by technology. Furthermore, future research is recommended to address structural issues, particularly regarding the legitimacy of driver’s licenses in Indonesia. An integrated approach combining education, enforcement, and cultural interventions is essential to promote safer riding behavior and reduce traffic accidents in the country.

-Like many contemporary African states, Nigeria is the design of European imperialism. Flora Shaw, a British journalist, who later became the wife of colonial governor Frederick Lugard suggested its very name – after the great Niger River, the country's dominating physical feature – in the 1890s. Nigeria’s colonial history showed a measured effort on the part of the imperialists to fashion contentious tendencies in the nation. The recent history of Nigeria as a political state encompassing 350 to 500 ethnic groups of extensively diverse cultures and types of political organization, started from the completion of the British subjugation in 1903 and the amalgamation of northern and southern Nigeria into the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria in 1914. This revelation highlights the measured colonisation of the colonial masters from the assault of Lagos in 1852 to the amalgamation. Prior to the emergence of the name 'Nigeria', the British had taken control of Lagos and the southern coast through the Royal Niger Company which had jurisdiction of the area around the river which was commonly denoted to as the 'Royal Niger Company Territories. The territory that was to become Nigeria was made up of varied civilizations before the British. A shared belief is that history presents the famous past of a country which is awash with extraordinary events and incidents that provide the nation its own socio-political along with economic character, offering a remarkable indication of its glorious past. Nigeria’s history in this light, signifies the remarkable events that altered and redefined the several phases of her political history. Meanwhile, this paper examined various theories attempting to explain the factors and forces driving Nigerian politics and its governments using archival cum analytical methods. The conclusion of this paper is that, each of the theoretical perspectives identified offers some degree of insight into the general patterns and dynamics of Nigeria’s political history; but none could be sufficient or exhaustive in relating the realities of her politics and government from independence in 1960 till date.

-South Asia comprises eight emerging countries with rich biodiversity and is home to more than 1.7 billion people. With a cultural heritage spanning over 2000 years, it is also known as one of the world's premier tourist destinations. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between international tourist arrivals, economic growth, and natural resource rents and their effects on the ecological footprints of four South Asian countries from 1995 to 2019. Various statistical tests were used to analyze the data, including slope homogeneity tests, cross-sectional dependency tests, second-generation unit root tests, and Westerlund co-integration tests. The Driscoll-Kraay regression model was used to test the long-run relationship between the series. In addition, the Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel causality test was used to determine the paths of causal interactions. These tests help overcome heterogeneity and cross-dependency issues in panel data analysis. The study found an inverted U-shaped Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) behavior in the selected South Asian countries, indicating a negative relationship between natural resources and ecological footprint, while tourism exhibited a positive relationship with the ecological footprint. The estimates imply that natural resource rents improve environmental quality in the selected South Asian countries.

-In this article I offer my post-facto reflections on a study initiated in 2018 and finalized in 2019 with children from Grade 6 (ages between 11 and 12) at a school in Pretoria. The school provides Chinese as a Second Additional Language to non-Chinese speaking students (over and above teaching a First Additional Language as a core subject). I was part of a team of researchers (including Linpu Wang, Pan Lu, Norma Nel, Oupa Lebeloane and Susan Krog). We contributed in different ways to the project. Detail on historical background to the initiation of the project and a write up of some aspects of the results (pertaining to factors influencing learner acquisition) can be found in Nel and Krog (2021). In this article I provide further background explaining the gaps in the literature which this study sought to address, and how the specific methodology was geared to exploring with the participant children and their teacher their ways of learning, while also aiming to provide feedback that could be beneficial for them. I explain the significance of the study in view of the fact that very few studies have been conducted on experiences of learning of Chinese as a Foreign Language in the context of Africa. Furthermore, most studies of teaching and learning of Chinese have been with adults and with adults whose language with which they are most familiar is English. In the school in question although English was the language of instruction, learners did not necessarily speak English at home – various African languages (sometimes more than one) were mentioned by learners as being spoken, sometimes together with English.

-This study aims to explore the influence of work supervision on employee performance with work discipline as a mediating variable at Selong Health Center, East Lombok. The background of this research is based on the importance of human resource management in achieving organizational goals, particularly through supervision and work discipline. This research was conducted using a quantitative method, involving the entire population of employees at the Selong Health Center, totaling 110 people, all of whom were used as samples through a saturated sampling technique. Primary data were obtained through questionnaires focusing on aspects of work supervision, work discipline, and employee performance, while secondary data were obtained from the health center's internal documents. Data analysis was performed using path analysis to identify the direct and indirect effects between the variables studied. The results show that work supervision has a positive and significant effect on employee discipline, meaning that effective supervision can improve employee discipline levels. Furthermore, work supervision also has a positive impact on employee performance, indicating that good supervision can increase productivity and work quality. Work discipline itself has been proven to have a positive and significant effect on employee performance, suggesting that high discipline can improve work effectiveness and efficiency. Moreover, the findings reveal that work discipline mediates the influence of work supervision on employee performance, meaning that good supervision can indirectly enhance employee performance through improved work discipline. This study makes a significant contribution to the development of theory in the field of Human Resource Management (HRM), particularly in understanding how supervision and work discipline affect employee performance. Practically, these findings provide recommendations for the management of the Selong Health Center to pay more attention to the aspects of supervision and work discipline in efforts to improve organizational performance. These findings are also expected to serve as a reference for future research exploring the relationship between work supervision, work discipline, and performance in the healthcare sector or other organizations.

-Theatricality, meaning the theater of social appearances (“The Future is in My Head,” “You Will Die in Ten Days”), the extension of the theatrical framework (“Cry of the Forest”), and the breakdown of the social framework (“Gahi or the Indigenous Affair”), is a consensual and enigmatic stance (due to the roles occupied) by the author. The notion of spatial thematics that emerges in “Cry of the Forest” helps define the deep meanings of the playwright’s universe, as well as certain characteristics of his style. However, why does the author turn to theater after the novel? And why talk about the cry of the forest? “My theater is simple and must educate,” says the author. We will first study the origins and stylistic evolution of the theatrical space in Henri Djombo’s work and, secondly, the psycho-aesthetic approach to the role of the forest, a dominant natural element in his theater. Beyond the realistic aspect of Djombo’s creation, we will outline two hypotheses related to elements of a latent, discreet fantasy, referring sometimes to Bachelard, sometimes to Freudian and Jungian references. The aim is to reveal the constructed space as a psychic space or the spectacle (scenic and narrative embedding, reversibility of the spectacle) and the metaphorical scene (theatricality of the scenic space, spectacle of everyday life, scene of the tree felling expressing an alert, theatricality and violence done to the forest). All in all, what conclusion do we draw from this rich catalog and the dominance of characters?

-The digital political discourse refers to the utilization of information and communication technologies, particularly the internet and online platforms, within the realm of political communication. It encompasses all forms of digital political communication, including official party websites, blogs, social media, emails, online videos, digital advertisements, discussion forums, podcasts, etc. This form of political discourse is distinguished by its interactive nature, rapid dissemination, and ability to reach a wide audience. It enables politicians to disseminate their messages, mobilize voters, raise funds, and gather data on public opinion effectively and targetedly. Digital political discourse has become an essential element of electoral campaigns and modern political communication, offering new opportunities but also presenting challenges in terms of transparency, data security, and information manipulation. In this regard, our work aims to analyze the impact and potential role of digital media in promoting Moroccan female politicians.

-Despite Nigeria's potential for attracting foreign direct investment, Nigeria's volatile exchange rate environment raises concerns about its effect on investment inflows. This study therefore examined the impact of exchange rate on foreign direct investment in Nigeria. Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) techniques was employed as the econometric technique using time series data from 1990 to 2024. Exchange rate, gross national income, interest rate, exports and imports were employed as the independent variables whereas FDI was the dependent variable. The empirical result of the study found that exchange rate and gross national income have significant impact on foreign direct investment while interest rate does not have a significant impact on foreign direct investment. It was therefore recommended that the Nigerian government should implement a managed float exchange rate policy in order to ensure stability of the naira. Also the implementation of expansionary monetary and fiscal policies should be employed to improve national income levels while policies to ensure stability of the interest rate should be implemented by the government in order to enhance economic growth in Nigeria.

-The purpose of this study was to establish the relationship between employee training and the adoption of e-government in Jinja local government. The study was guided by pragmatism as the research philosophy in which cross-sectional and case study research designs were embedded. The mixed research approach was employed with both quantitative and qualitative approaches given attention. As such, deductive and inductive research strategies were used. A total sample size of 214 respondents was drawn from a target population of 400 using Yamane (1967) formula for sample size determination. As such, stratified and purposive sampling techniques were mainly employed. This paper further provides detailed review of literature in tandem with the effect of central government support on the adoption of e-government. The Pearson correlation results depicted was 0.509**. The P-value that was associated with this correlation was 0.000. The P-value of 0.000, was less than 0.01 which depicted that the observed correlation was statistically significant at 0.01 level. This correlation analysis depicted that there was a moderate positive statistically significant relationship between employee training and the adoption of E-government in Jinja local government. These findings thus implied that there was need for officials in the local government to continuously strengthen the training function in the area of information communication technologies (ICTs) in order to ensure the effective adoption of E-government in Jinja District local government since training was revealed to have a significant moderate positive relationship with the adoption of E-government in Jinja Local government. We concluded that Employee Training significantly affected the adoption of e-government in Jinja local government ; The researchers vehemently recommended the need for continuous training of the Jinja District Local government staff in computer hardware and software as these would improve on their skills in those areas which would be very critical in helping the staff to undertake the E-government adoption tasks easily and also contribute to a positive attitude towards electronic work among the staff in Local governments in Uganda, the researchers further recommended the need for local government top officials to always consult with, and involve all the relevant the staff of the local governments on how ICTs hardware and software trainings would be conducted and as would always ensure fruitful trainings which would propel ensure efficiency and effectiveness among staff in using the e-government plat forms in Local Governments in Uganda.
