Entrenched in politics and culture: negotiations of violence in selected texts by Dambudzo Marechera, Shimmer Chinodya, Valerie Tagwira and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
This study investigates the negotiation of violence by analysing how the selected texts, The House of Hunger by Damudzo Marechera, Harvest of Thorns by Shimmer Chinodya, The Uncertainty of Hope by Valerie Tagwira and Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie represent characters responding to different forms of violence. I have adopted postcolonial theory, psychoanalytic theory, resilience theory and relevant strands of feminism as lenses in my literary analysis investigating how the selected corpus represents negotiations of violence. The novels, novella and short stories depict colonisation, anti-colonial wars and post-independence ethnic and cultural conflicts as the causes of outbreaks of violence. The narratives also portray individual and collective characters navigating violence by either acquiescing or fighting its manifestations in specific political, cultural, and socio-economic contexts. I will analyse textual representations of violence, trauma, and resistance to demonstrate how the authors give fresh insights into how characters negotiate spaces colonial and postcolonial violence creates in their experience. The texts depict oppressed individuals and communities using different strategies to resist political and cultural forms of violence. Those strategies are negotiations of violence entrenched in colonial and postcolonial political systems and cultures. I read negotiation of violence as reflected in different ways by characters as they remember, interpret, narrate, and memorialise their experiences of violence.English StudiesM.A. (English
Militant or Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs) During/After The Resolution of The Bakassi Conflict
The Bakassi peninsula conflict and its resolution had absorbed most of Cameroon and Nigeria's socio-political and economic oxygen and the international community in the 80s, 90s, and the first decade of the 21st century. Following military clashes between Cameroon and Nigeria over the peninsula, the conflict was finally resolved through the International Court of Justice (ICJ) verdict in 2002 and the Green Tree Agreement (GTA) 2006. The main thrust of this paper is to examine some militant or Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs) that operated during and after the resolution of the Bakassi conflict. This paper also aims to examine the reasons why these NSAGs emerged briefly. This paper applied the qualitative research method and, from it, historical consolidation, content analyses and case studies. The study's results revealed seven prominent NSAGs that emerged during/after the resolution of the Bakassi conflict. The ICJ verdict of 2002 and the GTA of 2006 were one of prominent reasons why these NSAGs emerged. The study also found that the desire to control the area's natural resources, fight against Cameroon gendarme brutality, and the poor resettlement of the Bakassi returnees also served as springboards for the emergence of these NSAGs. Through its recommendations, this paper will help the Cameroon government redefine its policies toward ensuring and maintaining lasting peace in the Bakassi peninsula- understanding the reason for the emergence of the NSAGs, its trends, and how best to handle them

UNSCR 1325 COMPLIANCE AND WOMEN’S PARTICIPATION IN UN PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS
Since UNSCR 1325 was introduced in 2000, 105 countries have adopted National Action Plans (NAPs) for the purpose of implementing UNSCR 1325 at the domestic level. Each NAP varies widely in content as does the successfulness of their implementation. I seek to explain why states comply with a non-mandated UN Security Council resolution. I ask what factors contribute to successful implementation and analyze how these factors affect the outcome of participation of women in UN peace operations. To do so, I conduct comparative case studies and analyze the content of selected case countries’ NAPs. Additionally, I operationalize Borzel’s pull-and-push model of compliance for each selected case to examine how the logic of consequences and the logic of appropriateness work together to influence the case study countries. I conclude by evaluating the change in women’s participation among each of the respective country’s UN peacekeeping personnel contributions following their NAP adoption and discuss the implications in each case. Overall, this project finds that compliance with UNSCR 1325 results in increased participation of women in UN peace operations in the case study countries

Чисельне моделювання лазерної ударної обробки шестерень авіаційних двигунів
Робота публікується згідно наказу Ректора НАУ від 27.05.2021 р. №311/од "Про розміщення кваліфікаційних робіт здобувачів вищої освіти в репозиторії університету". Керівник роботи: доцент, к.т.н. Закієв Вадим ІсламовичThis master thesis is dedicated to determination of laser shock peening optimal parameters for aircraft engine gears surface layers strengthening. In the work was used Abaqus software for numerical simulation of the laser shock peening hardening effect in order to find the most rational laser parameters, Pro E software for building a gear model, theoretical principles substantiation of laser shock peening application for aviation gears strengthening. Finite element modeling showed that the laser shock peening technique can be effectively applied to strengthen the aircraft engines gears surface layers and increase their service live and durability.Магістерська робота присвячена визначенню оптимальних параметрів лазерної
обробки для зміцнення поверхні зубчастих коліс авіаційних двигунів.
В роботі використано програмне забезпечення Abaqus для чисельного
моделювання ефекту лазерного зміцнення з метою пошуку найбільш раціональних
параметрів лазера, програмне забезпечення Pro E для побудови моделі зубчастого
колеса, динамічний явний та статичний неявний алгоритми для аналізу закону
розподілу полів залишкових напружень та обґрунтувано теоретичні засади використання лазерної обробки для зміцнення авіаційних зубчастих передач.
Моделювання методом скінченних елементів показло, що методика лазерної обробки може бути ефективною застосована для зміцнення поверхневих шарів зубчастих передач авіаційних двигунів для підвищення їх ресурсу та довговічності

Vulcan County Division 5 Update
We had two meetings this month one was a
regular meeting and the other was a
Governance meeting, which is a meeting just
for information. We had three presentations at
the Governance meeting. They were
Community Futures, Victim Services and the
Oldman Watershed.
Community Futures run quite a few
programs that can benefit all ages. One that has
a deadline of May 15 is summer camp for the
kids. The camp comes highly recommended.
The kids have to do up business plans and run a
business, it gives kids life skills to be
entrepreneurs. If you have kids interested,
please go to https://www.rotaryayec.ca/ to sign
them up!
I also attended a FCSS meeting this month.
There are a lot of people in our County that are
struggling to make ends meet, especially with
everything costing so much more. If you are in
this position, please contact FCSS and find out
how they can help you. It might be the Food
Bank or any other number of programs that
FCSS runs. They can even help Seniors with
taxes.
Victim Services are looking for volunteers in
all areas of the County. If this interests you,
please contact them and they can get you
training and
show you where
you can help out
in the area.
I also
attended the
Fire fighter's
appreciation
night. It was well attended and a lot of awards
were handed out. Congratulations to the
recipients of awards. I will try and get a list for
the next update.
I have had a few calls about taxes. I am
learning a lot about how assessment works and
the mill rate. Unfortunately, assessment rules
are provincial, we have little say in how the
assessments are done or how the values are
determined. What the County does control is
the mill rate. We try to keep the mill rate low,
while funding important groups in the County.
Please call me if you have questions about
taxes.
My County number is 403-423-0149, if you
want to discuss any County business please call!
My email is [email protected] if that is a
better way to communicate. Thank you for
letting me serve you for this term.

FEBRUARY isTH
Emergencies Act
The news cycle churns a mile a minute and by the time you
read this column, the Emergencies Act will have come and
gone. So that begs the question: Why did Prime Minister
Trudeau invoke the Act?
For the first three weeks in the month of
February, Ottawa was caught up in international
news. It's not often our country is the headline
story around the world, but the cross-country
convoy and subsequent protest in Ottawa did it.
What began as a convoy of freedom-loving
Canadians opposing mandates from coast-to-coast
driving to the Capital to make their voice
heard, became a weeks long camp site. The
original message may have been lost in the mix.
Thousands of locals flocked in during the
weekends, music blared, people danced, horns-honked.
Some called it an occupation, others
called it a party. But how ever you'd like to
classify the protest, it was an event that
captivated the country and even the world for
several weeks - and surely unlike anything I've
seen in the capital city. The unfortunate part was
that the protest was so large it spilled into residential areas,
which subjected residents to noise, blocking of streets, and
havoc.
But there was a real sense that the frustration from two
long years of pandemic restrictions was boiling over. Among
the crowds were truckers protesting the cross-border
mandate, people that lost their jobs due to restrictions and
mandates, and those that simply had enough with pandemic
restrictions. At a time when the world seemed to be reopening
completely, the federal government lagged.
Conservative MPs asked questions to the government but all
we got back were the same boring talking points over and
over. Conservatives moved a motioned for a plan - just a
plan! - Liberals and the NDP voted it down.
The unfortunate part of this protest was the way in which
information was disseminated. In this age of information that
is accessible immediately and from a variety of sources, I
plead with everyone: please do your due diligence, check your
information against a few different sources. It is up to all of us
to combat fake news and misinformation.
What became a problem were the blockades. Conservatives
believe in law and order, therefore illegal blockades that do
more damage than good was not the way to go. We must
protect the right of peaceful assembly, but we mustn't allow
illegal blockading of critical infrastructure. Be it at a pipeline
site, a border bridge, or residential streets.
Which brings me to the Emergencies Act. The border
blockades were cleared before the invocation of the Act and if
the Ottawa police force wished to move the trucks, they had
the means to do so. There was no indication for the need of
the Emergencies Act and it now sets a dangerous precedent
for the future. Emergency powers should not be normalized
and must always meet the necessary requirements for the
invocation. The ability to seize finances without due process is
a chilling proposition. We are continuing to hold the
government to account on this issue, as the Public Safety
committee has begun their inquiry. As we move to focus on
the Ukraine crisis, the Emergencies Act will still be a focus of
official inquiries.

The Thirteen Pragmatisms and Other Essays
Originally published in 1963. The essays in this volume are critical and, with one exception, directed against the philosophic movement of pragmatism. "The Thirteen Pragmatisms" is an exercise in logical analysis and is a challenge to a group of philosophers who have taken on a collective name to show how their apparent diversities are to be reconciled. Few philosophers would call themselves orthodox followers of this train of thought, so these essays can be studied without a sense of personal injury that deadens the critical faculty and obscures insight. In The Thirteen Pragmatisms and Other Essays, logical technique is on display: the author's keenness in spotting double meanings and his ability to rephrase them in univalent form. This collection of essays should afford students of philosophy a set of cases in which they need not take sides but which give them an analytical method they can practice themselves on contemporary issues. The fact that these essays are on the whole critical gives them a heuristic value that dogmatic or expository essays would not have
Lights, camera, action! Movies and active methodologies as a way of promoting spontaneous use of L2 in the classroom
Esta unidad didáctica surge a raíz de una necesidad detectada durante mi periodo de observación en el IES Ramón y Cajal de Zaragoza. Durante mis observaciones, los estudiantes bilingües de segundo de ESO se sentían incómodos al interactuar en la segunda lengua. En consecuencia, esta unidad didáctica fue diseñada para aumentar la motivación de los estudiantes por aprender inglés. Con el objeto de dar solución a esta necesidad, esta propuesta combina el enfoque comunicativo CLT y PBLL con el fin de crear un entorno centrado en el estudiante que priorice el trabajo colaborativo. Para motivar e involucrar a los estudiantes en interacciones significativas, se seleccionó un tema principal, las películas, que podrían ser de interés para los estudiantes de su edad y, además, se consideró la incorporación de las TIC, lo que permitió una variedad de materiales desafiantes. Todo esto ha sido diseñado y organizado de tal manera que al final de la unidad, los estudiantes serán capaces de crear un proyecto final que consiste en una pequeña escena tipo película que represente valores transversales, al mismo tiempo que pierden la ansiedad por interactuar en el segundo idioma. <br /
