The Impact of Global Pandemics on Small and Medium-scale Enterprises in Developing Countries: The Nigerian Example
type: item
description: The 16th Ebola outbreak in the Kasai Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo in September 20205 renewed palpable fears of a possible spread of the deadly virus to West Africa, especially in Nigeria, where the outbreak of 2014 seriously disrupted mostly Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) that are yet to recover from the impact. In an increasingly globalised world, interconnected by land, air, and sea, pandemics in one remote country can spread quickly and disrupt the supply chains in far-flung locations, leading to disastrous social and economic consequences for commercial transactions, especially SMEs. They drive innovation and create more jobs than the public service, but are prone to layoffs and construction. Luckily, the latest outbreak was promptly contained to the relief of global disease-tracking agencies. As one advertisement on the Cable News Network (CNN) declares: Everything is connected to business, just as business is connected to everything else. In Nigeria, these pandemics significantly disrupted the already struggling Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), resulting in lower productivity, substantial financial losses, and increased unemployment, with dire consequences for the government and the rest of society. The WHO identifies weak healthcare systems, poor access to quality healthcare, and atavistic cultural norms as contributing factors to the spread of HIV/AIDS, Ebola, and COVID-19 in many developing nations. The study relies on quantitative approaches and secondary data to highlight the negative impact of global pandemics on SMEs in Nigeria, especially the challenges they faced during and after the outbreaks. The paper proposes more effective and inclusive strategies to reduce the adverse effects of future pandemics on SMEs, including reinforcing digital infrastructure to minimise human contact, sourcing contingency funding, and government support at all levels to keep SMEs functional and profitable, even in crises.

Strengthening the Role of Authorized Bodies in the Legal Regulation of Civilian and Service Weapons Circulation
type: item
description: The adoption of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On Weapons" established the legal basis for the licensing and permitting system in the sphere of weapons circulation. The introduction of this system significantly strengthened state regulation of relevant legal relations and led to a significant increase in both the types of weapons permitted for civilian circulation and the number of permits. At the same time, the workload of employees of the control and licensing units of internal affairs agencies, as well as of employees of public order protection units (hereinafter referred to as PLOPS employees) and prevention inspectors, who are responsible for state and departmental oversight functions in this area, has increased significantly.

Peace Education and Human Rights Literacy as Tools for Conflict Prevention in the Niger Delta: A Human Security Perspective
type: item
description: Nigeria’s Niger Delta is one of the regions of the world that recorded intractable conflicts over the years. The spasmodic violence, instability and conflict in the region are as deeply rooted in socio-economic marginalization, environmental degradation, human rights violations and governance failure. Consecutive decades of state interventions and corporate social responsibility have not ensured peace as sustainable and enduring. This indicates the weakness of conventional, state-led conflict management. This paper examines how peace education and human rights literacy can be employed as transformative tools of conflict prevention in the Niger Delta from the perspective of a human security framework that prioritizes people-focused solutions over militarized solutions. Drawing on qualitative data from policy reports, field reports and interviews with stakeholder groups, the study examines how empowering local communities through awareness of their rights, building a culture of dialogue and practising peace education via formal and informal institutions can reverse the structural causes of conflict. The study affirms that improved human rights consciousness and comprehensive peace education curricula increase social cohesion, participatory governance and de-motivation of violence as conflict resolution strategies. Integration of human security ideas into peace education and rights literacy education is required to build lasting peace, environmental justice, and fair development in oil-producing Niger Delta societies.

Applying Predictive Analytics to Optimize Government Operations and Improve Public Service Delivery in the United States
type: item
description: The United States governmental agencies are turning to the use of data-driven strategies to improve operational efficiency and increase the delivery of public services. This study deploys predictive analytics to the NYC 311 Customer Service Requests dataset, which is a high volume of administrative data regarding the citizen-reported non-urgent problems to determine how sophisticated analytical methods could streamline government work. The dataset provides detailed data of type, agency, venue, and time specific service measures, which can be used to perform a detailed evaluation of the dynamics of service demand processes and agency responsiveness. The research will create a new performance measure, Request_Closing_Time, to identify the speed and performance efficiency of their services by carrying out extensive data preprocessing, temporal transformation, and feature engineering.This study uses forecasting tools, such as ARIMA and LSTM, to forecast the volumes of service requests so that governmental agencies can predict the changes in workloads and resource allocation effectively. Service delays and the factors that have the most significant impact on response times are predicted using machine learning algorithms, including Random Forest, SVM, and the XGBoost. Statistical tests also determine that the response time among complaints of different types and the correlations between different types of complaints and geographical locations are significantly different. The findings indicate evident time trends, high agency performance deviation, and high spatial response of the citizen service needs. This study has revealed the benefits of predictive analytics in facilitating proactive decision-making, backlog reduction, and responsiveness of services in urban governments. The lessons also offer a viable roadmap to the incorporation of data-driven projections, categorizing, and statistical evaluation into the work of the U.S. government. Finally, this study emphasizes t…

From Local to Global: How Community-Based Climate Action Shapes International Environmental Diplomacy
type: item
description: The global climate governance is also characterized by an intention-action gap accompanied by North-South equity issues and technology-transfer tensions. This study explores the way community-based climate action may fill that gap. Adopting an interpretivist, qualitative design, three cases of MENA (Jordanian water conservation, Moroccan reforestation, Saudi urban flood resilience) were examined through document analysis, semi-structured interviews, and secondary climate data using thematic analysis. The data and national references were updated and analyzed according to the Fourth National Communication (2023), Second Biennial Update Report (2021) and Updated Nationally Determined Contribution (2021) of Jordan, in accordance with the policy of the National Climate Change 20202050 and the National Adaptation Plan (2021). Findings indicate that grassroots efforts percolate up through the effects of demonstrations, signifying national policy tools and contributing to the viability and credibility of the NDCs; and also, they serve as diplomatic capital that actualizes equity, enhances North-South collaboration and improves trustworthiness in submissions to the UNFCCC. Recommendations include the institutionalization of local-global knowledge platforms, the focus of finance on community-led adaptation, and the involvement of community actors in the process of delegation negotiation. The paper also highlights the increasing importance of community-based climate diplomacy as an example of the Al-Munther Al-Monakhi Initiative that was initiated by the author at COP29. The initiative shows how the involvement of the bottom-up can support national policies and fill the gap between global pledges and local action through translation of the principles of the Paris Agreement and the Updated NDCs of Jordan into activities and opportunities that are accessible and community-based. Implications reposition environmental diplomacy as multi-scalar, enhancing the ambition, fairness an…

Determining the Reliability of Corporate Accounting and Reporting Data through Internal Audit Procedures
type: item
description: This paper examines the methodological approaches and practical role of internal audit in ensuring the reliability of corporate accounting and financial reporting. It analyzes key procedures such as documentary verification, analytical reviews, and compliance checks used to identify discrepancies, errors, and information risks. Through case studies of companies like "NAVIGUL" LLC and "CHUST AGRO FRUITS" LLC, the study demonstrates how internal audit detects material misstatements in areas such as inventory valuation, revenue recognition, and depreciation calculation, which directly impact financial results and tax liabilities. The findings underscore that a systematic internal audit function not only serves a detective role but also provides a foundation for corrective actions and strategic decision-making. Furthermore, the integration of audit findings and recommendations into the company's ongoing information systems and management processes is highlighted as a critical factor for enhancing financial transparency, reducing risks, and improving overall operational profitability.

Improving the Legal Mechanisms for Combating Corruption
type: item
description: This article is devoted to the study and analysis of the legal mechanisms for combating corruption in the Republic of Uzbekistan and the ways to improve them in accordance with international standards and national development priorities. Corruption remains one of the most complex socio-legal problems that negatively affects the efficiency of public administration, economic stability, and the trust of citizens in state institutions. In recent years, Uzbekistan has made significant progress in forming a comprehensive anti-corruption policy framework, introducing institutional reforms, and aligning national legislation with global best practices. The article examines the essence of corruption as a legal and moral phenomenon, its causes and consequences, as well as the role of legal mechanisms in its prevention and suppression. Special attention is given to the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On Combating Corruption,” the functions of the Anti-Corruption Agency, and the implementation of the “National Anti-Corruption Strategy for 2021–2025.” The research emphasizes that effective anti-corruption measures require not only the existence of laws but also their consistent enforcement, transparency in public administration, and civic participation in monitoring government activities. Furthermore, the paper analyzes international experiences—particularly the practices of countries such as Singapore, South Korea, and Georgia—in creating institutional frameworks for corruption prevention, enhancing public service ethics, and ensuring accountability. The study suggests that integrating these best practices into Uzbekistan’s legal system could contribute to strengthening the rule of law and promoting integrity in both public and private sectors. In conclusion, the article argues that combating corruption should be approached comprehensively—combining legal, institutional, and educational tools to create an environment of zero tolerance toward corrupt behavior.

ENGLISH IMPERIALISM IN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE IN THE LATE 19TH – EARLY 20TH CENTURY
type: item
description: This study explores the political, economic, and cultural impact of British imperialism on the Ottoman Empire during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries — a period marking capitalism’s transition to its imperial phase. Using historiographical analysis and documentary evidence, the article examines how Great Britain employed financial instruments, diplomatic alliances, and cultural discourse to extend its influence over the weakening Ottoman state. It reveals that British control operated primarily through indirect economic dependence, exemplified by debt commissions, the acquisition of Suez Canal shares, and the annexation of Cyprus. The research also highlights the interplay between imperial strategies and Orientalist narratives that justified British hegemony under the guise of modernization and reform. The Tanzimat reforms, the Crimean War alliances, and the Treaty of Sèvres are analyzed as turning points illustrating the transformation of Ottoman sovereignty. The findings demonstrate that British imperialism not only reshaped the political geography of the Middle East but also contributed to the ideological foundations of modern Turkey’s emergence from the ruins of the Ottoman order.

Linguistic Perception of Time and Behavior: Revisiting Whorfian Hypotheses through Ethnopoetic Analysis
type: item
description: This study revisits the Whorfian hypothesis of linguistic relativity by examining the role of language in shaping temporal cognition and behavior. Drawing on both foundational theories by Benjamin Lee Whorf and empirical insights from contemporary neo-Whorfian scholarship, the research investigates how linguistic structures contribute to culturally specific perceptions of time. Through a comparative analysis of temporal metaphors in Mandarin and English, and an ethnopoetic examination of non-linear narrative patterns in Chol folktales, this paper highlights how language-bound conceptualizations influence both thought and social behavior. Utilizing Dell Hymes’ ethnopoetic model, the study uncovers how the organization of narrative discourse in the Chol language reflects unique temporal frameworks that resist linear sequencing. The synthesis of experimental and ethnographic data affirms the cognitive implications of linguistic diversity, arguing that language does not merely express but actively constructs temporal and behavioral schemata.

From Annulment to Recognition: State Power, Historical Revisionism and the Politics of Memory in Nigeria’s Democracy Day
type: item
description: Nigeria’s democratic journey began in the 1960s after independence from Britain but recorded setbacks arising from military coups that paved the way for transition to civil rule. This paper critically explores how June 12, which was once an annulment of elections day and national trauma in 1993, was declared as Nigeria’s Democracy Day in 2018 by way of formal proclamation. It examines how Nigerian governments, one after another, have engaged in historical revisionism to reshape people’s memory and political legitimacy through selective narratives of the past. Drawing from secondary sources, media and policy reports, and academic critiques, the study problematizes the convergence of state power, national identity-making and memory politics. It dwells on how symbolic rehabilitation of June 12 and posthumous commemoration of Chief M. K. O. Abiola form a gesture of atonement and instrumental effort by the state to renegotiate its democratic heritage. The paper argues that, although the official holiday on 12th June is a significant step towards democracy in Nigeria, it also reveals underlying tensions between popular historical consciousness and official memory. The study calls for a more inclusive and dialogical memorialization beyond political opportunism and actual national reconciliation.

A Comparative Analysis of Franchising as an Internationalization Strategy: European and American Corporate Paradigms
type: item
description: This article presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of franchising models as a strategic framework for international expansion, focusing on the distinct approaches of European and American corporations. The analysis reveals a fundamental dichotomy: American franchising prioritizes rapid scalability, brand standardization, and a regulatory framework centered on pre-contractual transparency (FTC Rule). In contrast, the European model emphasizes cultural adaptation, long-term sustainability, regulatory diversity, and often a more collaborative franchisor-franchisee relationship, guided by a voluntary European Code of Ethics. The article identifies key success factors, including the balance between standardization and localization, the critical role of franchisor support, and the impact of digital transformation.
