This has caused technology and trip planning to become increasingly entwined. According to studies conducted all around the world, contemporary travellers need interactive features, superior travel assistance, product details and pertinent details to help them make decisions. Because travellers evaluate their experiences based on the impression they have of a place after their journey, online travel reviews are also a good predictor of a location’s post-visit destination image (DI) (González-Rodrguez et al. 2016; Park et al. 2007). The purpose of this study is to find out customers’ experience using travel review sites that impact the travel industry. The advancements in technology have had a significant impact on the travel and tourism sector, as they have on many other service-based businesses. This research paper also examines Indian clients’ preference, usage and satisfaction level with online review sites. In this study, Airbnb, Goibibo, Oyo, Yatra, MakeMyTrip and Cleartrip customer reviews are analyzed using Wordcloud and sentiment analysis, and therefore, conclusions are made based on that. The study concludes that ill-defined situations caused by travel firms are impacting customer satisfaction levels. However, it is concluded that consumers place less satisfaction on travel sites due to various reasons.","PeriodicalId":429057,"journal":{"name":"BOHR International Journal of Social Science and Humanities Research","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133784322","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}

While it is practically impossible to accommodate the entire goals in a single research paper, this study focused on Goals 3 and 11 through a qualitative evaluation of motorists’ response to an anti-drunk driving media campaign in Southeast, Nigeria. Using the Protection Motivation Theory and the Extended Parallel Process Model as the theoretical framework, this study investigated motorists’ exposure, knowledge, and compliance as well as factors (if any) that inhibit compliance to the campaign by adopting focus group discussions and an in-depth interview as the research methods. Findings revealed that the motorists were exposed and had knowledge of the campaign; however, these indices did not translate into total compliance on their part with the campaign messages. Therefore, for an effective response, the campaign needs to be evaluated in line with its messages, design/packaging, channels of delivery, and measures of enforcement to be adopted.","PeriodicalId":429057,"journal":{"name":"BOHR International Journal of Social Science and Humanities Research","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132434549","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}

Slang expression is a language style that has various definitions, but one common thing about these definitions is that slang is an informal expression used during an informal communication. Due to its informal nature, variation, birth, and death do occur and that is the crux of this study. Over the years, some researchers have carried out research on slang expressions and some of them rooted their research on the Igbo slang. This spurred the quest to look at the variation, birth, and death of some slang expressions in the Onitsha environment. Data for this work were sourced from the students and the residents of Onitsha. The research portrayed that there are variations in some slang expressions that express female body structure endowment, beauty/handsomeness, sex drive, short of words deeds, and smoking–the birth of new slang expressions, which is the cause of slang variation and the death of slang expressions. The research has it that some of these slang expressions originate from some of the Igbo contemporary songs. Finally, Holmes’ (1) idea that slang expressions are specifically for the young people is not applicable in the Onitsha environment because slang expressions are used by both young and old. In fact, it is gradually becoming a way of communication among people.","PeriodicalId":429057,"journal":{"name":"BOHR International Journal of Social Science and Humanities Research","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123867271","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}

However, post-harvest loss is a significant obstacle to the production of tomatoes, onions, and peppers in Nigeria. The shelf life of these veggies has to be extended in a secure and affordable method. Any technique for product storage and preservation that promotes the use of affordable, locally accessible materials and ensures that product quality is unchanged for a long time should be used. This paper examines the processing and preservation of homemade tomato, pepper, and onion paste for combating household food wastage and economic sustainability. Specifically, this study aimed at processing tomato, pepper, and onion into a paste, preserving the paste for 7 months at room temperature, preparing stew from both fresh and preserved paste, and also evaluating the sensory attributes of both fresh and preserved paste and stew. Two research questions and two hypotheses served as the study’s guidelines. A total of 35 lecturers made up the population, and 15 lecturers were chosen as the sample. Data for the study were gathered using a nine-point Hedonic Scale rating questionnaire. The findings were presented as mean values, and the hypothesis was tested using the t-test. The significant differences were accepted at P ≤ 0.05. Sensory evaluation revealed that there were no significant differences between the preserved and fresh paste and also no significant between the preserved paste stew and the fresh paste stew at P ≤ 0.05. Processing and preservation of homemade tomato, pepper, and onion paste should be practiced in Nigeria, especially by homemakers. This will reduce the amount of domestic wastage of vegetables and reduce the amount of family resources spent on these vegetables during scarcity.","PeriodicalId":429057,"journal":{"name":"BOHR International Journal of Social Science and Humanities Research","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128020747","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}

However, as the article evolved over the months, it became gradually clearer that the idea of the agency was not only outdated, based on various reviews, but also unwarranted. This is because of the wide range of possibilities and prospects for agents in the colonial and postcolonial worlds. Therefore, the concept of agency was removed from the title, but it does not make the importance of agency as a recourse for resisting oppression, authoritarianism, and tyranny any less important. One might think that the narratives of imperial colonial Africa have become over-mined since the fin de siècle but the reality is that the consequences of those narratives continue to wreak havoc in the modern African worldview regardless of how many millions have died fighting against its largesse. This is sufficient motivation to continue our struggle in the search for authenticity and agency in postcolonial Africa and modern Africa itself. This article is about the cultural logic of African society and how the social construction of village identity is contingent on tribal elders and gate-keepers, shamanism, colonial authoritarianism, and oral traditions. The logic of the African village during the postcolonial era is defined as the skewed colonial rationale for the cartographization and control of the colonial subject as part of a larger western imperialist project and the imposition of alien White rule on Africa.","PeriodicalId":429057,"journal":{"name":"BOHR International Journal of Social Science and Humanities Research","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124350014","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}
