Security-Development Nexus and the Discourse of Fragile States

This paper will examine the underlying problem within the discourse of fragile state. It will be investigating the framework of security-development nexus used to justify the policy agenda of state and nation building in fragile states. It argues that the security development nexus underpinning the project of nation/state-building in ‘fragile states' obviously create insecurity and (re)produce inequality and poverty, rather than generate security and equality throughout society

Great Power Rivalry in a New Asia Pacific Order: Examining the Great Power Concert Model for Asia Pacific

China\u27s rising power in the Asia Pacific region is leading the regional order to face a potential of rivalry between existing great powers in the region. This paper hence seeks to investigate the great power rivalry in a new Asia Pacific order. It argues that while ‘the European great power concert model\u27, as proposed by Hugh White (2008), could potentially be a mechanism for maintaining peace and stability in the Asia Pacific region, it has considerable problems and obstacles to be applied in the region

KODE ETIK KOMUNIKASI DALAM PERSPEKTIF Q.S. LUQMĀN

Research conducted by the author, with the title of the code of ethics of communication in the perspective of Q.S. Luqman, using a qualitative research form, using a librarian approach. Where in the research results. That the success of effective communication interaction, which was built by Luqman to his wife and children. Not because he is good at processing messages. However, because in building communication interactions, he places great emphasis on the code of ethics for communication in accordance with what Allah has commanded. Where there are five codes of communication ethics used by Luqman. First, do the contents of the message before he sent the message, his wife and children. Both are confident that is accompanied by the truth of the message. Third, be patient. Fourth, give love to the communicant. The fifth is polite and avoids arrogance. Thus, the code of ethics becomes the spearhead in determining the communication interactions that are built by each person

Resource Control and Grassroots Development in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria

In every society, economic development is an important part of social living, especially the specific economic activities of government in ensuring the development of that society. But then integrated effort towards this development will be incomplete where cognizance of the existing resources and ways of tapping as well as equitably allocating the resources is undermined. For some time now. this has reflected in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria and the inequitable allocation of the resources especially to the areas of their derivation has led to the constraints in developmental efforts and consequently deterioration in the lives of the rural dwellers. The effects of this have been marginalization and unsavory reactions from the affected communities and these have led to national insecurity. This paper examines these issues in the context of resource control, causes of agitation for control of resources by the Niger Delta dwellers, the contending trend of uneasiness in the nation and actions that can be taken by the government to ensure grassroots development in the area, thus pulling an end to the insecurity of lives and property in that region, and the nation as a whole

A study to determine the effects of epidural analgesia in labour and to assess its maternal and neonatal outcome

Background: There is widespread acceptance of epidural analgesia among many physicians and patients, but disagreement remains regarding the effect of intrapartum epidural analgesia on the subsequent progress of labour and the mode of delivery. This study was designed to look and assess the effects of labour analgesia on maternal and fetal outcomes. Methods: This is an observational prospective cohort study where 60 parturient visiting the hospital in labour during the study period who fulfilled the eligibility criteria & gave written informed consent for the participation were included as cases. Another 60 parturient visiting the hospital during the same period who also fulfilled the eligibility criteria and consent for the same were included as controls. After test dose of 3 ml of 2% lignocaine with 1:2,00,000 adrenaline, an initial bolus of 10 ml of 0.1% Ropivacaine+1microgram/cc Fentanyl is given. Results: Epidural analgesia gave better pain relief when the VAS scores of the two groups were compared. No effect on increase of Caesarean or instrumental delivery rates was observed. Even though the first stage of labour was prolonged and the second stage shortened, the overall time of active stage of labour remained the same in both groups. No adverse neonatal outcome was seen with respect to epidural analgesia. Conclusions: Epidural analgesia provided excellent pain relief for most of the women delivering at our institute & is associated with high patient satisfaction
