The EU as a global-regional actor in security and peace: the EU-GRASP final integrative report

This report is a final product of a research project, called EU-GRASP that aimed at a better understanding of the EU’s role in regional and global peace and security issues. Undertaking this was a fascinating and challenging task, especially as the subject matter was, for various reasons, a real moving target

Effects of continous and interval trainings exercises on cardiovascular characteristics of pupils in Ibadan

Objective: The focus of the paper is to examine the effects of continuous and interval trainingsexercises on cardiovascular characteristics of pupils in Ibadan, Nigeria, measured in terms heartrate, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure.Methodology: A total of one hundred and eighty (180) volunteered pupils were convenientlydrawn from four (two public and two private) primary schools in Ibadan based on type of school.The randomized classic experimental research design with two experimental and one controlgroups were employed in the study. Systematic random sampling technique was used to allocatesixty (60) participants to each of the three groups, namely: the continuous exercise (CE) andinterval exercise (IE) and the control groups. The experimental groups participated in twelveweeks exercise trainings. The cardiovascular variables measured pre­post trainings weresubjected to frequency counts, percentages, mean and standard deviation as well as analysis ofcovariance and scheffe post­ hoc for analysis and discussions.Results: Results show that the average age of the pupils was 9 years 8 months, 103 (57.2%) ofthe participants were male while 77 (42.8%) were female; the post­training mean height of theparticipants in the PRE group is 1.36±0.09m while that of weight is 29.52± 5.82kg

Effects of an eight-week lumbar stabilization exercise programme on selected variables of patients with chronic low back pain:

Lumbar stabilisation exercise has been shown to reduce pain and disability in patients with low back pain but information on its potential benefits in term of back muscle endurance is scarce. This study was aimed at investigating the effects of augmenting conventional physiotherapy with lumbar stabilization exercises on selected variables of patients with non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP)

Proving State Responsibility for Genocide: The ICJ in Bosnia v. Serbia and the International Commission of Inquiry for Darfur

This Article discusses the Bosnia v. Serbia case and the Darfur Inquiry and asks whether, in coming to their respective decisions on Serbia and Sudan\u27s responsibilities, the ICJ and the ICID did all that was required of them, especially under the law of State responsibility. This Article first considers whether, despite striking similarities in the circumstances of Darfur and Srebrenica, the ICID\u27s decision that genocide did not occur in Darfur is credible, defensible and could withstand legal analysis under international law. The analysis here juxtaposes the ICID\u27s findings with the ICJ\u27s decision on the Srebrenica genocide
