Full text linkThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country

Wine Monopoly Assessed by the Contemporaries of S.Y. Vitte
Full text linkIntroduction. The introduction of monopoly is associated with the minister of finance S.Y. Vitte, who initiated an active reforming activity during the economic modernization of the country. The current article analyzes social and economic consequences of introducing the wine monopoly assessed by the contemporaries of S.Y. Vitte. This was one of the most complicated and controversial reforms in term of acceptance by the society, which raised opposite assessments, including ones with regard to Vitte himself. Notwithstanding the above, it became a part of the “Vitte’s Program” aimed at the creation of the national industry during the country’s economic modernization. In this context the monopoly solved an important problem, in particular, it helped to search and attract funds inside the country in order to solve the set targets, which caused controversial reaction in the society. A number of prominent state and social officials as well as famous economic scientists spoke about its implementation. Methods and materials. The author analyzed different points of view expressed by such officials as: M.M. Kovalevskiy, I.H. Ozerov, P.P. Migulin, N.A. Velyaminov, N.I. Fridman, M.N. Kulomzin, A.F. Koni, P.L. Bark, V.N. Kokovtsov, P.H. Shvanebach, L.D. Hodskiy and others, who gave their estimation of social and economic consequences of introduction of the wine monopoly, as well as the role of Vitte in its development, implementation and social and economic consequences, in their publications, articles, reminiscences and memoirs. Basic methods of research used in the article are historical and genetic and comparative historical. They allow assessing general and specific issues in the approaches and assessments of the completed reform. Analysis. Although the necessity of the monopoly introduction was discussed in the Government long before Vitte, his predecessors at the position of the minister of finance have not decided to make this step, as they understood the reaction, which will be caused in the society due to its introduction. Indeed, after the monopoly has been introduced, a number of prominent state and social activists expressed their opinion about the necessity of its introduction, the role of Vitte in its development and implementation as well as about the social and economic consequences of this reform. Among the liberal circles the estimations were mostly of a critical nature. Having admitted that the excise system was not able to eliminate alcoholism and that the organization of alcoholic industry needed serious reforms, liberal mass media of that period did not anchor any hopes on the improvement of the industry with the official trade. However, the analysis of the reform made among its developers as well as certain scientific and social actors was more balanced and objective. Results. Therefore, the reform of drinks (wine monopoly), which was introduced by Vitte in 1894 and existed almost till the beginning of the First World War was controversially assessed by its contemporaries and, as it was shown during the conducted research, often the reason for this was the attitude to Vitte himself. The critics of Vitte, as a rule, did not take into account that by introducing the monopoly he defended mostly the interests of the state and after his resignation he was no longer personally responsible for its final results. In this regard, the last minister of finance of the Russian Empire, P.L. Bark, who replaced the monopoly during the First World War with the nonalcohol law, in his memoirs highly appraised the role of Vitte in the development and implementation of the reform and considered it quite reasonable in the relevant historical conditions. Most of the contemporaries agreed that the introduction of the monopoly helped to significantly increase the cash flow to the budget, at that, the monopoly failed to solve the second important goal, which is the decrease of alcoholism level among peasants – major part of the empire’s population. The advantage of the reform, which almost nobody challenges, is the significant increase of the quality of consumed product
(39(2):96-101)Effect of Type and Amount of Potassium Fertilizer on the Quality and Yield of Mat Rush (Juncus Effusus L. Var. Decipiens Buchen)

The effects of KC1 and K2SO4 fertilizers applied at the middle and late growing stages on the grass quality and yield of mat rush cv. Tainung No. 1 was studied. Four levels of K20, i.e., 75, 150, 225 and 300kg/ha, were applied for both KC1 (designated as A, B, C and D treatments, respectively) and K2SO4 (E, F, G and H treatments, respectively) fertilizers. A check plot (treatment Ⅰ) without K fertilization was also included. Experimental results inicated that treatment B (150kg K2O/ha as KC1) produced more grass in the 1st and 2nd grades (with length over 120 and 100 cm, respectively) but less grass in the 3rd (with length between 75 and 99 cm) than other treatments. Treatment C (225kg K20/ha as KC1) gave the highest grass yield, however, the effect of K fertilization on yield was not significant in general. Treatments B and D (300kg K20/ha as KC1) were most effective in terms of the percentage of 1st grade grass produced. Based on the above results, potassium fertilization effected more on quality than on yield of mat rush grass. Comparison between the two types of K fertilizer revealed that KC1 was superior to K2SO4 in mat rush production. The assumption that chloride ion did not affect grass quality was also proposed. The K utilization efficiency was not correlated to either the quality or yield of mat rush. However, K concentration in plant tissue and the amount of K uptaked were positively correlated to the percentage of grass of the 1st and 2nd grades
