Psychologist have identified that the human mind is in a constant flux; in a constant state of conflict arising from the mental disagreement caused by his desires to do things which society or the ‘symbolic order’ forbid because they are considered as either anti-social and against the social or cultural norms of the society. Another avenue for conflict to seethe into the psyche is through the hurt caused by some unpleasant experiences in the past. This usually leads to some forms of traumatic experiences for the person having such childhood or adult experiences. The American Psychological Association defined trauma as being the psychological response, of an emotional form, which a person has to an event which his/her psyche interprets and accepts as being extremely negative and which Abstract: At the foundation of all human action are psychic structures, pleasant and unpleasant, that determine the actions of individuals. Trauma is a reality of the psychological content of many and could be suffered by both the perpetrator and victim of traumatising actions. Barnard presents the connection between trauma and professional ethical infraction through the character of Kapinsky in The Donor. The traumatic experiences of Kapinsky are rooted in the fear of the loss of intimacy and the death drive arising from the death of his parents, his helplessness and powerlessness at the moment of the occurrence, the defeat of Adolf Hitler and the German nation and the self-imposed guilt that Kapinsky encumbered himself with. Through the knowledge he gained as a medical doctor with specialty in biomedical research, he flouted ethical principles governing research by creating a half human, half ape in a clandestine move to pour his rage on the world through which he intends to avenge his parents and complete the German project. Dr. Barnes, his research mate also committed ethical infraction occasioned by motivated blindness and their inability of their ‘should’ selves to put their ‘want’ selves in check.

The unity of all the afro descendants and their brothers of the continent is at the same time a psychological healing from the centuries-long trauma self-hatred, and denigration. It further advoates a political revolution in a continent whose main problem is division. The novel reveals a poetics of a collective psychological unease. If in other books by the same writer characters are fighting to make a living in a problematic world to which they have become strangers, in Osiris Rising , the fate of the Africans of the diaspora is summed up by the title of the article about the ankh, that symbol of Africa’s redemption:‘Who are we and why’. The lament over one’s condition in a world that is not theirs is a constant concern. Chapter one sets the tone of that poetics of an existential malaise. Ast’s grandmother is a silent and sad woman. She is often impenetrable as she keeps to herself as if she were unable to convey her feelings, giving only cryptic and enigmatic answers. The narrator speaks of a ‘soul’s withdrawal’, of a ‘hardened face’ (1). When Ast as a child asks to know more about the symbolic statuette her grandmother keeps in their house, the old woman utters a few words that say much about the existential and psychological state of her mind: ‘Do you know that our people were sold into slavery?’ The descendants of these former slaves like Ast may have forgotten that part of their history. But it is still vivid in the old woman’s mind. The question raises several intractable concerns in the mind of the little girl. The search for the answers to these concerns will shape her future adult life. ‘Who sold us? What did such a betrayal mean? Was it dead history? Or does it still have the energy of news, with power to shape the future?’ (1). The narrator accounts for the young girl’s psychological state of mind and says that these questions were ‘unsettling the balance of her soul’ (1). Instead of crippling her energy, of turning her into a bitter, sad, and humiliated personality, Ast sets to find answers that will take her to where these sad events of the lives of her ancestors started: ‘home’ in Africa.

In an attempt to tap into the benefits accruing from both Foreign Direct Investment and International Trade by the Nigeria government, several strategies have been employed in order to promote FDI inflow and at the same time boost International Trade. Such strategies include regulatory measures and incentive policies, enactment of investment laws, removal of laws that are inimical to foreign direct investment and foreign trade, transfer of state owned enterprises to public own enterprises etc (Shiro, 2009). Abstract: International Trade and Foreign Direct Investment plays significant role in nation’s economic development, especially the developing countries of the world among which we have Nigeria economy. More important to the increasing trend and significance of FDI and Foreign Trade are the concept of substitutability and/or complementarities of these two economic agents and thus the need to examine the nexus between them using the data from 1970 and 2019. The study adopted Johansen co-integration test to confirm the existence of both long-run relationship among the variables while two different approaches of time and frequency domains were employed to uncover the direction of causality between the variables. The time domain approach used was VECM granger causality test while the frequency domain approach used was Breitung-Candelon causality test. The Johansen co-integration test outcome reveals the existence of positive long-run relationship between foreign direct investment and export and a negative long-run relationship between foreign direct investment and import. Finding further reveals unidirectional causality between FDI and import in the long run running from FDI to import, but there is bi-directional causality between FDI and export in the long-run. Also a unidirectional causality exists between Export and Import running from Export to import. This study concluded that FDI in Nigeria is favourable, with the positive long run relationship between FDI and export and negative long run relationship between FDI and import, and therefore suggest that the Government should come up with policies that will help the inflow of FDI into the economy.","PeriodicalId":443596,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Humanities & Social Studies","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122240166","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}

Kisumu County leads in substance use and abuse among 12–25-year-olds. There is, however, a dearth of studies on the prevalence and gender disparity in adolescents’ use and abuse of substances in secondary schools in Kisumu East Sub- County. This study investigated the prevalence and gender disparity in adolescents’ substance use and abuse in public secondary schools in Kisumu East Sub- County, Kisumu. The study found the prevalence of substance use and abuse among secondary school’s adolescents in the study area to be 38.2%. The paper established the most abused substances to be sleeping pills, bottled beer and local brews. It further found out no significant gender difference in the adolescents’ use and abuse of substances. The study concluded that there is a high prevalence of substance use and abuse in the study area, and that this prevalence defies gender considerations. The reviewed literature indicates that there is a high prevalence of substance use and abuse among adolescent students worldwide. Some of the literature shows that there are no significant gender differences in substance use and abuse. Other studies, however, demonstrate that male students use and abuse substances more than females. Thus, it is uncertain whether substance use and abuse is mainly a male problem. The current study, therefore, aims at determining substance use and abuse prevalence and whether there is gender disparity in substance use and abuse among adolescent students in the area of study. that by of the with a mean of 1.82 and a standard deviation of 0.978.
