{"title":"An Examination of Drill Rig NOx Emission","authors":"P. N. Onwuachi-Iheagwara","doi":"10.35940/ijmh.k1629.0791123","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35940/ijmh.k1629.0791123","url":null,"abstract":"This article creates awareness of greenhouse gases (GHG). The greenhouse gases play a significant role in climate change. The GHG includes NOx which is N2O, NO, and NO2. NOx can be produced from several human activities, including agricultural practices and drill rigs engine activities. However, drill rig emissions have received limited attention in Nigeria compared to agricultural emissions. This article addresses this research gap by examining the production of NOx emissions from drill rigs in Nigeria and its contributing effects. It also discusses the effects of climate change, which include increases in temperature, rainfall, rising sea levels, and the incidence of flooding. Storm aberrations, shortages of usable land, and potable water accompany this. The study adopts a methodology based on the correlation established by Russell (2006) to derive formation emission factors for onshore, offshore, and deep offshore Nigerian wells. The formation emission factors are based on the number of wells drilled in these locations from 2002 to 2004 and the average depth of wells in these locations. The analysis reveals that while NOx levels in Nigeria are currently low, they exhibit a constant upward trend. This observation is significant for a country heavily reliant on the petroleum industry for foreign exchange earnings and economic stability. Furthermore, considering Nigeria's vulnerability to the impacts of climate change and associated hazards, understanding the effect of drill rig NOx emissions and its production becomes crucial. By shedding light on this overlooked aspect, this research contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the environmental implications and sustainable practices in Nigeria's petroleum sector.","PeriodicalId":14104,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management and Humanities","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91226967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous businesses, particularly those that deliver in-person services, had to temporarily close due to the exceptional measures taken to contain the outbreak, such as lockdowns. The feeling and impression of one's own professional achievement in proportion to one's personal self-set criteria is known as career satisfaction. A career in the Indian Insurance sector can not only be quite challenging but also rewarding. The Covid-19 heavily affected the regular income of both salaried and non-salaried class people. In this circumstance, the insurance agents faced certain difficulties such as, collecting premium from policy holders, getting new policy and settling the policy claim on time. Overall, the aforementioned challenges undoubtedly had an impact on the insurance advisor's ability to accomplish his or her career goals, including those for income, progress, and the acquisition of new skills. In context with the above topic, this short-term research paper attempts to reveal the career satisfaction between Male and Female Insurance agents of LIC during this pandemic period. There's no significant difference among male and female insurance advisors with regard to of their professional accomplishments, professional goals, and advancement in their careers, according to the findings. Nevertheless, female insurance advisers are happier than male insurance advisors with the strides they have made in achieving their financial and skill-development objectives.","PeriodicalId":14104,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management and Humanities","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83133103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the assumption that social media discourse is not neutral and impacted by social, political, and economic contexts [1], this paper employs van Dijk’s socio-cognitive approach to investigate the role of social media discourse in protracting the Syrian conflict. It analyzes two main local, anti-, and pro-regime, social media outlets’ posts, and tweets to expose their discursive strategies and embedded ideologies. This article exposes the manipulation practices on the discoursal and linguistic level. It conducts a complex analysis to uncover hidden messages and manipulation techniques that has been delivered and utilized by conflicting parties in Syria, influencing people’s minds, increasing their polarity, altering the Syrian revolution’s conception, and protracting the tragedy. The findings indicate that social media discourse vis-à-vis the Syrian context is biased. Syrian conflicting parties, especially pro-regimes outlets, manipulate discourse with the aim of influencing people’s understandings and beliefs and hence actions. Anti-government actors are always stereotyped as foreign backed, extremists, and terrorists. International outlets, impacted by the local outlets, have contributed to altering the perception of the Syrian conflict, from a popular social movement to a violent civil war.","PeriodicalId":14104,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management and Humanities","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81432033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Effect of Incidental Learning and Deliberate Learning on L2 Repertoire","authors":"Ahmad Hamed","doi":"10.35940/ijmh.i1606.059923","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35940/ijmh.i1606.059923","url":null,"abstract":"Vocabulary learning is a crucial aspect of language acquisition, and it can occur incidentally or deliberately. Incidental learning (also known as unintentional learning) indicates learning new words while reading or listening to spoken language. Deliberate learning, on the other hand, involves the intentional effort to learn new words through activities such as studying vocabulary lists, using flashcards, practicing with vocabulary exercises, or using a dictionary Both incidental and deliberate vocabulary learning have their advantages and disadvantages. Incidental learning is more natural and occurs in a context, which makes it more likely that new words will be remembered and used correctly. However, it can also be unpredictable and unreliable, as learners may not encounter the same vocabulary frequently enough to remember it. Deliberate learning, on the other hand, is more systematic and provides learners with more control over their learning. However, it can be less engaging and may not always lead to the same depth of understanding as incidental learning. 80 secondary school students were randomly selected to take part in the study, and they were assigned to one of three groups: an experimental group that received instructions on deliberate vocabulary learning techniques, an experimental group that received instructions on incidental vocabulary learning techniques, and a control group that received no instructions. For two weeks, the experimental groups received six hours of instruction in their chosen vocabulary learning strategies. Students in the deliberate vocabulary learning group learned how to learn new words by using techniques like flashcards, making mnemonic devices, and practicing with vocabulary drills. The students in the incidental vocabulary learning group were instructed to use guessing strategies to determine the meaning of new words while reading or listening. All participants took a vocabulary test following the instruction period, which evaluated their retention of the definitions of the words they had learned. The outcomes revealed that both experimental groups outperformed the control group by a significant margin, demonstrating the efficacy of both deliberate and accidental vocabulary learning techniques for enhancing vocabulary acquisition. The deliberate and incidental vocabulary learning groups performed similarly, which is interesting because it suggests that both methods are equally effective. To investigate the long-term effects of deliberate and accidental vocabulary learning techniques, additional research is required. It is crucial to keep in mind that this study concentrated on short-term vocabulary acquisition. The results of this study demonstrate that both deliberate and accidental vocabulary learning strategies can enhance secondary school students' vocabulary acquisition. Both educators and students can combine the two approaches to develop a robust vocabulary in a foreign language.","PeriodicalId":14104,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management and Humanities","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73380190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Deconstructionists examine how a text opposes or challenges its own meaning rather than trying to come about a single, conclusive interpretation. They might look at how a text challenges prevailing idea, reveals the limitations of language or undermines the conventional distinctions between gender, race, and class. They could examine how the poem’s themes are distorted or contradicted, as well as how it highlights the limitations of conventional binary oppositions like male/female, self/other, and nature/culture. The poetry of Sylvia Plath is frequently recognized for its great emotional depth and its examination of serious subject matters like loneliness, death, and mental illness. Plath frequently uses intricate metaphors and symbols in her poems, as well as startling and vivid imagery. For instance, “Lady Lazarus” is recognized as one of Plath’s most known pieces and a haunting exploration of the themes of death, rebirth, and identity. On the other hand, Robert Frost is renowned for his bucolic and frequently sentimental images of rural life in New England. His poetry is known for its use of straightforward, simple language and often examines themes like nature, interpersonal relationships, and the passage of time. For instance, the poem “Design” prompts critical reflection on the nature of our existence and our place within such a complex universe.","PeriodicalId":14104,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management and Humanities","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80111972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

India is one of the largest consumers and importers of gold in the world, with gold demand primarily driven by weddings, festivals and religious ceremonies. In recent years, gold has also emerged as an investment asset class with people investing in gold for long-term gain and to hedge against inflation. Gold is also considered as a safe haven asset and is often used as a store of value during economic and political uncertainties. Almost all the central banks hold gold as a crucial part of their foreign currency reserve. Hence forecasting the demand for gold becomes essential to make informed investment decisions, management of reserves by the institutions etc. This study aims to forecast the demand for gold on the basis of the recent trends and patterns of demand for gold in India in the last five years (2017-2021). The researcher analysed historical data on gold from various sources and examined the trends over time. The study used the linear trend analysis method to create a linear equation that predicted future gold demand based on past gold demand trends.
