Abstract: Ethnic minority (ethnic minority) female cadres in the grassroots political system (CCT) play a very important and strategic role in the Northwest provinces as well as in the three provinces of Dien Bien, Lai Chau and Son La of Vietnam today. This is not only the goal but also the driving force for the process of accelerating the industrialization and modernization of agriculture and rural areas in the country in general and the Northwest in particular. They play a particularly important role in the strategy of economic, political, social development and defense security consolidation in ethnic minority and mountainous areas in the North of Vietnam.

Keywords: Female staff; Female cadres of ethnic minorities; Grassroots political system.

Abstract: During and following Algeria’s Black Decade, women suffered inordinately. Incidents of honor killings and femicide were rampant. However, despite their societal constraints, these women did not suffer quietly. They marched in the streets and demanded justice—a novelty at the time in the Maghreb. Still, not soon after the dust settled, women’s demands were shoved to the back burner and honor-related brutality continued relatively unabated. Indeed, violence against women remains deplorably high throughout the country, and even though changes to the “Family Law” have been addressed, they are nowhere near sufficient. The Hirak Movement presents a new window of opportunity for the advancement of women’s rights in the country. It also presents its own challenges. This paper will address the efficacy of women in the movement, taking into consideration the socio-political realities on the ground in Algeria. Ultimately, this work focuses on these three, interrelated inquiries: Can the Hirak Movement provide a channel for fulfilling the unfinished work of women’s rights in Algeria? What does the movement actually portend in terms of finally addressing honor violence and femicide in a legitimate and applied manner? What are the challenges and outlooks moving forward?

Keywords:  Algeria, Honor Violence, Black Decade, Women’s Rights, Hirak Movement.

Abstract: This study examines post-World War II “anime” and manga based on the bomb’s after-effects and changes in Japanese mindsets resulting from the War, especially as inspired by Osamu Tezuka and later artists influenced by his works.

This study theorized that Japanese political culture elements, through particular plotlines, could be traced in manga and anime themes carrying hidden messages repeatedly referencing the bomb’s effects on Japan, citing Tezuka’s influence, in the 1945-65 and 1985-95 periods, in the post-apocalyptic, science fiction, and fantasy genres. Case studies were used to qualitatively assess data for historical evidence of Tezuka’s influence across specific genres, from scholarly studies and reviews of manga, comics, and related media. Evidence of Tezuka-inspired themes, such as hope out of endless devastation (the phoenix analogy) and man’s destructive obsession with technology by conquering nature (dependent variables), were analyzed from a comparativist, historical viewpoint, as influenced by atomic bomb-related themes.

The researcher explains the Japanese fascination with technology and why many anime show status quo disagreements. Japan absorbed trauma from the bomb, was invaded by foreigners, and faced a complete overhaul. Post-war, the economy grew rapidly, but Japan must reduce rigidity and social conformity. The Japanese are aware of the US role in their dual defense arrangement; Japan felt discomfort as a junior-partner in the 1950s-60s. The US monitored Japan on defense and foreign policy as it rebuilt itself. Tezuka’s work show insight into the defense arrangement and technology’s societal role.

Conclusions suggest manga artists drew from Tezuka’s works that the bomb’s devastation changed Japan significantly, launching powerful themes referencing these events in postwar science fiction, fantasy, and futuristic post-apocalyptic genres, relating to Japanese history, political components from ethical technology perspectives, relations between nations, and conducting foreign policy (independent variables). Japan must look to the future, as after the war, rising from the ashes. Balancing Mother Nature, technology’s place in society, and hope for rebuilding relate to the 2011 nuclear crisis and survival. Japan prevailed once before, recovering from a disastrous early 1900s earthquake; if Japan once survived devastation, certainly it could again. Just as manga and anime unite fans globally (especially once US Comics Code restrictions were lifted), mankind assists others in crisis and settles disagreements; we can universally transcend nation. Tezuka’s message of bettering humanity to avoid a dark future depends on our ability to settle differences, respecting nature for its simple beauty in our lives.

Keywords: Atomic Bomb, Japanese political culture elements, bomb’s effects, Tezuka’s influence.

Abstract: Homosexuality is a relationship that allows any two consenting individuals of the same biological sex to form an intimate relationship. The issue of homosexuality is a controversial discourse in all the countries of the world including Nigeria. Thus, this study aims at ascertaining the debates of the discourses on homosexuality in Nigeria. The study was anchored on Richard Troiden’s Ideal-typical model of gay/homosexual identity acquisition. The model was adopted to explain and describe the development of homosexual identity formation as taking place against the backdrop of a stigma, which heavily influences identity development and personal adjustment. A systematic review method was adopted for this study. This method was considered the most appropriate research approach in gathering information about scholars’ line of arguments on this controversial issue of homosexuality in Nigeria. The study unveiled that homosexual is to a greater extent not culturally, politically, legally, religiously and socially acceptable in Nigeria because Nigerians perceived the act to be a taboo, animalistic, inhumane, sin and illegal.  The study also discovered that many homosexuals are still in the closets due to the strong cultural aversion towards the practice, although some are gradually coming out of their closet to assert what they perceive to be their constitutional rights. Based on the research findings, this study therefore recommends full enforcement in criminalizing homosexuality in Nigeria.

Abstract: Four-star hotels in Kenya face stiff competition from five-star hotels, three-star hotels, guest houses and serviced apartments. This has resulted to reduced financial performance as indicated by reduced revenues per available room, reduced length of stay, declining average occupancy rate, reduced profitability and high closure rate. The main objective of this study was to establish the influence of shared values as one of the elements in Higgins’s model on performance of four-star hotels in Nairobi City, Kenya. The theories informing the study included upper echelons theory, dynamic capabilities theory, resource-based theory and knowledge-based theory. The study used descriptive research design. The target population for this study was 67 four-star hotels in Nairobi County, Kenya. The study adopted census sampling technique since the population was small and manageable. A questionnaire was used to collect primary data. The questionnaire was administered to the operation managers of the hotels using the drop and pick method. The data for the study was analyzed using qualitative and quantitative means. The quantitative data collected was keyed in and analyzed through means, frequencies, percentages, correlation and regression statistics. The qualitative data was analyzed through thematic summary analysis. The presentation of the quantitative results was in form of tables and figures. The study established that shared values had a significant positive effect on four-star hotel’s occupancy rate (β = 0.211, p = 0.042), average revenue per room (β = 0.318, p = 0.012) and profitability (β = 0.320, p = 0.004). Based on the findings of the study, the study recommended that, though most of the hotels had value and mission statements, they rarely followed them. This hence requires management of the hotels to apply various approaches to enable all the hotels’ employees to internalize the mission and value statements.

Keywords: Shared Values, Performance, Higgins Model, and Four – Star Hotels.
