Geochemistry Examination of Surface Sediments from Sadong River, Sarawak, Malaysia: Validation of ICP-OES Assessment of Selected Heavy Metals Selected Heavy Metals
Get PDFThe dependable analytical method for the assessment of heavy metals of interest (As, Al, Mn, Ca, Cd, Cu, Fe, Cr, Ni, Co, Zn and Pb) in sediments assembled in the Sadong
River, Sarawak state of Malaysia was reported. The total acid digestion extraction proceeded by ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectrometry) was used for this reason. The analytical method was validated as well as the implementation of
enough quality control activities in order to supply reliable information. Duplicate analysis was estimated in order to achieve the precision reproducibility conditions. To determine the accuracy of the results certified reference material was used. The limits of detection and quantification for all selected metals were below the acceptable limits in the examined sediment samples. The acquired dependable information could be used for evaluations of the correlation between anthropogenic activity in the aged and the geochemical
characteristics of the sediments
Organizing a cooperative venture in Ebenezer A.M.E. Church, in Greensboro, Georgia, food co-op, a conceptual model, 1982
Get PDFBlack people in this country in general and the members of Ebenezer AME Church in particular are facing a dilemma. They are facing the problem of having their government assistance reduced or cutout entirely. These cuts in government assistance threaten their very survival especially the senior members of the church. Some of them are too old or physically disable to supplement their income with part-time employment. Therefore, they will have to stretch their income and make every penny count. The thrust of this project is to propose a way that the Black Church in general and the AME Church in parti-cular can use a food co-op to help people help themselves. Whereas the method of organizing a food co-op is not carved in stone, the cooperative principles of mutual aid and cooperation have always been eternal in God's universe, especially for created beings. This paper will start with a theological undergirding of the cooperative principles used by the first church as recorded in the Book of Acts of the Apostles. Also it will examine the historical events that guided Richard Allen when he founded the AME Church based on cooperative principles. A conceptual model of a food co-op will be developed based on cooperative principles. The cooperative principle will be applied to the organizing process of a food co-op in Ebenezer AME Church. A pre-test and post test model was used to assess the validity of the training process and this data, was applied to the organizing process
The Garden City Utopia A Critical Biography of Ebenezer Howard
No full textEbenezer Howard is recognised as a pioneer of town planning throughout the industrialised world; Britain's new towns, deriving from the garden cities he founded, are his monument. But Howard was more than a town planner. He was first and foremost a social reformer, and his garden city was intended to be merely the first step towards a new social and industrial order based on common ownership of land. This is the first comprehensive study of Howard's theories, which the author traces back to their origins in English puritan dissent and forward to Howard's attempt to build his new society in microcosm at Letchworth and Welwy

Do Governance Institutions Matter for Trade Flows between Sub-Saharan Africa and its Trading Partners?
No full textThis study analyses the role of governance institutions in trade involving Sub-Saharan
Africa (SSA) and its trading partners. Specifically, the objectives of this study are to:
investigate the effect of institutions on trade between SSA and its trading partners;
and examine whether governance institutions matter more for trade in SSA resourcepoor countries (or non-mineral products) than for trade in resource-rich countries
(or mineral products). Based on a combination of strands of literature on the subject
matter, we used a modified gravity model to analyse the objectives highlighted
above. Using data spanning 1996 to 2014, empirical analysis involves estimating
variants of gravity equations using the modified Poisson pseudo maximum likelihood
estimation approaches. Empirical results show that not all governance variables
matter for trade between SSA and its partners. Whether it matters or not depends on
countries’ resource endowment, the pattern of trade and the direction of trade. Trade
between SSA and developed countries (especially imports) is driven significantly by
governance institutions, particularly the bureaucratic quality and compliance with
law and order. Such importance of governance institutions could not be established
in trade between SSA and Asia, which are both developing economies. Furthermore,
governance institutions matter more for trade in non-mineral products than for trade
in mineral products. The interaction of tariff with governance variables produced
some results which suggest that inadequate governance institutions reflected in
poor implementation of tariff policy may increase trade costs, thus reinforcing the
negative effect of tariff on trade. Some policy recommendations were articulated to
improve governance institutions in SSA to promote trade with its trading partners
Revisiting the Effects of Workers’ Remittances on Economic Development in Nigeria
Get PDFPoverty in Nigeria continues unabated despite huge inflow of remittances. Our result supports the argument that remittances can improve economic growth but can also worsen overall wellbeing. Reasons for this are, first, remittances beneficiaries in Nigeria are concentrated in the middle income class with high propensity to consume. Second, due to high propensity to consume, consumption triggers good prices in such a way as to worsen the purchasing power of the poor. Third, institutions are weak and the poor do not benefit from weak institution. Thus good quality institutions should be encouraged while ostentatious spending should be discouraged
