The aim of the paper is to analyze the portrait with which female characters are identified in the novel. The inquiry is probed through a textual analysis of the novel. The data was collected through close reading of the primary text and analyzed in the light of African Feminist perspective. The findings from textual analysis show that some female characters are positively portrayed while others are negatively portrayed. Positive portrayals include challenging oppressive African traditional practices such as arranged marriages and harassing widows. Others are being hardworking, wise, tolerant, respected, generous and being a role model in good moral values. The negative portraits include women as prostitutes, slanderers, gossipers and victims of oppressive cultural practices. This negative image is influenced by societal gender stereotyping.","PeriodicalId":35584,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Social Work","volume":"10 1","pages":"44-62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147903266","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}

Our investigation examines how AI affects school performance and studies methods of learning for secondary students in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Pakistan's schools. A research design based on numbers gathered data from 300 students in three districts Peshawar, Swat, and Charsadda from both public and private secondary schools through a stratified random sample. Our survey tested student behaviour with AI tools while measuring their learning results and studying habits. We analysed statistical information both for basic view and for hidden conclusions using SPSS. The data association between students' AI tool application and their learning performance produced a medium positive outcome (r = 0.42). Additionally, the results linked AI utilization to enhanced motivation (r = 0.37) and better participation (r = 0.39). Students who used AI tools often in education gained better test results and developed better learning practices. Students living in Peshawar's urban facilities learned more from AI than students studying at Charsadda's rural school system. Students at private schools used AI technology more often and achieved better grades than students at public schools. AI utilization proves to be a major indicator affecting academic results according to our multiple regression results. These results hold true despite considering student gender, school type, and place of residence. The research shows that AI boosts educational results and supports good student behaviour but needs suitable setups and prepared institutions to produce ideal outcomes for all learners. Our research indicates that AI has strong potential for education improvement in KP if we properly design its use and provide quality training to students and teachers. References Alenezi, A. (2023).

This paper employs Edward Said’s concept of contrapuntal reading to critically analyze Vuong's poetry, exploring how Vuong’s personal narratives of exile, trauma, and identity intersect with global histories of war, imperialism, and cultural displacement. Contrapuntal reading encourages readers to acknowledge the intertwined nature of personal and political histories, amplifying marginalized voices in the process. This paper argues that Vuong’s poetry presents a counter-history to the dominant narratives of the Vietnam War and immigration, offering a nuanced perspective that complicates traditional views of national identity, memory, and belonging. The analysis will focus on how Vuong’s poetic language resists hegemonic structures of power, particularly through his exploration of language, queerness, and the legacy of war.","PeriodicalId":35584,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Social Work","volume":"3 1","pages":"693-698"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://induspublishers.com/IJSS/article/download/781/733","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147912464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Having returned to democratic governance in 1999, Nigeria’s elections have been marred by violence, thereby underscoring the tenets of free and fair elections and democratic consolidation. This paper identifies the causes, dynamic manifestations, and implications of electoral violence adopting the political economy as its theoretical framework for analysis. The paper concludes that, electoral violence constitutes a serious threat to the consolidation of democracy in Nigeria; as it undermines the electoral process, weakens public confidence in democratic institutions, and perpetuates a cycle of instability and mistrust. It also concludes that; the consolidation of democracy requires a multi-faceted approach in order to strengthen the autonomy and capacity of the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure free and fair elections. Ultimately, the process to achieve democratic consolidation in Nigeria is a collective responsibility; where the political leaders, civil society, security agencies, and the entire populace must come together to reject violence and embrace the principles of democracy. It is only by ensuring that elections are deemed free, fair and peaceful that Nigeria can fully achieve the much-needed potential of democratic consolidation for its socio-economic development and national integration.

The paper aims to identify the barriers to ASRH in Ghana and suggest potential measures to address these challenges. The paper argues that socio-cultural and gender norms that stifle the rights and voices of adolescents, particularly adolescent girls regarding their sexuality, are a significant factor exacerbating other barriers to ASRH in Ghana. These norms perceive adolescents as inexperienced and lacking agency in their sexuality, consequently disregarding their voices. In addition to these norms, other barriers to ASRH in Ghana include inadequate ASRH education within and outside of schools, limited access to ASRH services and products, absence of adolescent-friendly sexual reproductive health services, and the high cost of sexual reproductive health services and contraceptives. These barriers put adolescents at a higher risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as HIV/AIDS, as well as other problems like unwanted pregnancies and unsafe abortions in Ghana. To address these challenges, the paper suggests several potential measures such as increasing access to affordable SRH services and products, improving ASRH education within schools, creating adolescent-friendly sexual reproductive health services, and promoting gender equality by empowering adolescent girls.

There aren't many studies on this topic, according to the literature. The study was influenced by the Theory of Self-Efficacy, Shavelson's Hierarchical Self-Concept Model, and Social Identity Theory. One hypothesis and one research question were created. The research design was a descriptive survey. All Business Studies Teachers (1,269) and Public Upper Basic School students (88,059) were included in the study population. Of these, 109 teachers and 3533 students were sampled using a multi-stage sampling technique. The “Instructional Facilities Questionnaire (α = .816)” and “Business Studies Achievement Test (KR20 = .777)” questionnaires were employed. Descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were used to analyse the data. Results revealed that instructional facilities such as visual aids (x̅ = 2.042) and typing pool (x̅ = 1.791) are rarely available while audio-visual aids is not available (x̅ = 1.367). Lastly, there is no significant difference in academic achievement of male and female students in Business studies in Oyo state public upper basic schools (t = 1.016; P> 0.05). It can be concluded that audio-visual aids (β = .088; t = 2.509; P<0.05), visual aids (β = .069; t = 2.206; P<0.05) and typing pool (β = .094; t = 2.842; P<0.05) all have significant relative influence on students’ academic achievement in Business studies. It can be argued that students' subpar academic performance at Oyo State's public upper basic schools may be due to a lack of instructional tools such as visual aids, a typing pool, and audio-visual aids, independent of the gender of the students. To improve students' academic performance, it was suggested, among other things, that they should be motivated and given access to instructional tools. References Abubakar, S. (2020).

Experienced managers are fully aware of this truth, yet surprisingly few take the effort to determine who would reject the change attempt and why prior to an organisational change. On the other hand, managers all too frequently rely on a straightforward set of notions based on prior experiences. This constrained strategy may cause significant issues. Because there are so many possible ways that people and organisations may respond to change, accurate assessments frequently need careful thought. When people don't grasp the implications of a change and think it will cost them significantly more money than it will save them, they become resistant to it. These circumstances frequently arise when there is a lack of confidence between the change-initiating party and the workforce. This study looks into a Dubai, United Arab Emirates-based optical company that lost one store as a result of poor strategy change management.
