    Based on the background of American civil rights movement in which religious factors participated, this study analyzes the function of religious factors in civil rights movement from the perspective of political participation and the principle of separation of politics and religion, in order to consider the research paradigm of the relationship between religion and social conflict. It is believed that religious participation is helpful to exert the positive force of social conflict, the right of religious freedom has, to a certain extent, become the “safety valve” of social stability, and the development of religion is the embodiment of social pluralism and symbiosis

    Commercial Banks Vs Rural SACCOS Credits Risk Management Practices in Tanzania

    This study applied secondary data from 20 commercial banks and primary data from 37 rural Savings and Credits Cooperative Societies (SACCOS) operating in Tanzania to compare the credits risk management practices applied by commercial banks versus the rural SACCOS. The study revealed that banks have effective credits risk management practices than the rural SACCOS. The study also revealed that because of the effective credits risk management practices all banks (100%) were making profits while only 30% of the rural SACCOS were profitable. Furthermore, the study noted that the mean value of NPL for banks and rural SACCOS was 4.4% and 23.26% respectively. This study recommends that rural SACCOS should imitate some of the best banks’ credits risk management practices in order to reduce the amount of NPL and hence improve their profitability while the government should establish the credits risk regulatory framework for SACCOS as it did for commercial banks. Keywords: Commercial banks, Rural SACCOS, Credits risk management practices, Tanzani

    High-TcT_c superconductivity by mobilizing local spin singlets and possible route to higher TcT_c in pressurized La3_3Ni2_2O7_7

    We clarify the pairing mechanism of high-TcT_c superconductivity in bilayer La3_3Ni2_2O7_7 under high pressure by employing the static auxiliary field Monte Carlo approach to simulate a minimal effective model that contains local dz2d_{z^2} inter-layer spin singlets and metallic dx2y2d_{x^2-y^2} bands. Superconductivity is induced when the local spin singlet pairs are mobilized and attain long-distance phase coherence by hybridization with the metallic bands. We find a dual role of hybridization that not only induces global phase coherence but also competes with the spin singlet formation. This lead to a tentative phase diagram where TcT_c varies nonmonotonically with the hybridization, in good correspondence with experimental observation. A roughly linear relation is obtained for realistic hopping and hybridization parameters: Tc0.05JT_c\approx 0.05 J, where JJ is the inter-layer superexchange interaction. We emphasize the peculiar tunability of the bilayer structure and propose that TcT_c may be further enhanced by applying uniaxial pressure along the cc axis on superconducting La3_3Ni2_2O7_7. Our work provides numerical evidences for the pairing mechanism of high-TcT_c superconductivity in La3_3Ni2_2O7_7 and points out a potential route to achieve even higher TcT_c.Comment: 6 pages,4 figure
