This paper explores the underlying causes of electoral violence and proposes strategies for its prevention to achieve credible elections. Drawing on Social Identity Theory (SIT), the study highlights how group dynamics and social identities shape behaviour and contribute to conflict during elections. Factors such as political exclusion, economic disparities, and historical grievances are identified as primary drivers of violence. The paper argues for a multifaceted approach to prevention, including fostering inclusive political representation, promoting intergroup dialogue, challenging harmful social norms, and supporting electoral education. Additionally, the role of responsible media, institutional legitimacy, and nonviolent conflict resolution are emphasized. By addressing the root causes and implementing these strategies, Nigeria can enhance the credibility of its elections and ensure a stable and democratic political environment. The study underscores the importance of understanding social dynamics and adopting comprehensive measures to mitigate electoral violence effectively.","PeriodicalId":516825,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Humanities, Education, and Social Sciences","volume":"48 50","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141923955","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}

The adoption and usage of social media platforms in health communication and journalism generally has opened up many opportunities to be maximized. This study therefore is hinged on harnessing social media for health communication in Awka metropolis. Using Extended Parallel Processing Model as theoretical framework and in-depth interview as methodology among other things; the study examined the multifarious opportunities social media usage portends in health communication. Findings from the study indicated that social media usage in health communication in Nigeria has great prospects of increasing access to information as well as doctor patient relationship. In spite of that, misinformation and conspiracy theories constitute major challenges for social media usage in health communication. The study concluded that regulatory measures should be implemented in order to reduce the negative effects social media usage portends. The study also recommended that the government should also expedite actions in making and implementing regulatory measures to check on the misusage of social media that seems to be thriving at the moment.","PeriodicalId":516825,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Humanities, Education, and Social Sciences","volume":"51 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141922962","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}

Urine filtration technique using polycarbonate membrane filters was employed to check the presence of Schistosoma haematobium eggs in urine and questionnaires were administered. Overall preval_ence of 8.94% (21) was recorded out of the 235 urine examined. Chi square analysis showed insignificant association of the infection with the various schools (χ²= 6.192, P = 0.185). Similarly, ANOVA revealed no significant difference in the mean egg intensity (27.29 eggs/10ml of urine) among the schools (p = 0.293). Males were more infected 13.33%(16) than females 4.50%(5) with a significant difference (P=0.020). However, there was no statistical significant difference in their mean egg intensities (30.3 eggs/10ml of urine in male and 17.6 eggs/10ml of urine in female) (p = 0.27). The age-related preval_ence was higher 11.82% (13) in 10-15 years children while children aged 16-20 had the least preval_ence 0.01% (1). Chi square showed statistical significant association between infection and age (χ²=12.964, P=0.002). But there was a statistical insignificant difference between their mean egg intensities; 10-15, 4-9 and 16-20 (31.08, 23.4, 5 eggs/10ml of urine respectively) with p=0.462. Children who fish had the highest preval_ence 16.67%  and children that do not partake in any of these activities had no case of infection 0%(64). Chi square revealed a statistical significant association between participant's water contact activities and infection (χ² =11.21; p = 0.024).  However, ANOVA showed statistical insignificant difference in the mean egg intensity among these activities (p = 0.486). This findings indicates that urinary schistosomiasis has low endemicity in this area which could be due to the fact that It was concluded that the overall low preval_ence could be attributed to improved environmental hygiene among others.","PeriodicalId":516825,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Humanities, Education, and Social Sciences","volume":"1 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141796771","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}

Given the fundamental role of credible, free, and fair elections in a democracy, this research aims to gauge the opinions of young Nigerians, particularly those in higher education institutions, who are presumed to be more enlightened and actively involved in their Student Union Governments. Adopting a public opinion survey design, the study utilized a stratified sampling technique to distribute questionnaires among the respondents. The collected data, representing public opinion polls, were analyzed to discern prevailing sentiments. Results indicate a significant disillusionment among undergraduates, with many expressing a loss of confidence and interest in Nigeria's electoral system. The study reveals that the majority of students believe that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has failed the citizens, particularly in light of the high expectations set by the introduction of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), which promised transparency but ultimately did not fulfill its potential. This disillusionment has led to a widespread desire among young Nigerians to emigrate in search of better governance. The study recommends that electoral bodies prioritize restoring the integrity of democratic institutions by ensuring the conduct of credible elections in Nigeria.","PeriodicalId":516825,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Humanities, Education, and Social Sciences","volume":"119 27","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141819992","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}

The study found that the landscape of broadcasting has undergone significant transformations in recent years, driven by advancements in technology. These changes have brought forth a multitude of issues that impact both media organizations and society at large. To address these challenges, media organizations and policymakers must collaborate to strike a balance between embracing technological advancements and upholding principles of diversity, accuracy, and societal well-being.

The increasing responsibility of meeting family needs is examined through various analyses, notably sociological analysis. In many cases, Lombok women balance dual roles: as homemakers and as contributors to the family's everyday needs. This research employs a qualitative descriptive methodology with a phenomenological approach to comprehend the nuanced experiences and meanings attached to specific situations. Participants’ insights provide invaluable perspectives, facilitating a deeper exploration of the subjects under study. Data analysis utilizes sociological frameworks to elucidate the evolving social status of women in Lombok societies. The findings illustrate a dynamic socio-economic transformation among Lombok women, reflecting the growing significance of their contributions to family welfare. This transformation is driven by heightened daily living expenses, prompting a shift from traditional homemaker roles to becoming pivotal economic pillars within their families. Moreover, instances where wives possess higher educational attainment than their husbands underscore significant shifts in life dynamics and socio-economic structures.","PeriodicalId":516825,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Humanities, Education, and Social Sciences","volume":"68 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140427046","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}
