The word ¿dystopiä consists of the Greek prefix ¿dys¿. It means ¿ill¿, ¿bad¿ or¿abnormal¿. To quote from the oxford Dictionary, the definition of dystopia is, ¿an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one¿. Dystopian novels examine the fate of an individual in a technologically advanced society. ¿Utopiä is defined as an ideally perfect place, especially in its social, political, and moral aspects. The exact definition, given in the oxford dictionary for Utopia is , ¿an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect. Misplaced faith in political Utopias has led to ruin¿.

The continuous circulation of water from land, ocean to the atmosphere is known as hydrological cycle. Any perturbation in the hydrological cycle such as changes in rainfall pattern, variations in temperature lead to severe weather consequences regionally as well as globally. Evapotranspiration is a key component in the earth¿s hydrological cycle which is one of the principal sources of moisturizing the atmosphere. Total evaporation from open water bodies soil and the transpiration from the plants together known as evapotranspiration that varies greatly year to year over a region. The inter-annual variability in evapotranspiration shows impact on the water resource management and on the climate of a region.

IN the practice of law, and in day-to-day dispensation of justice, in a goodly number of countries, constant reference to ¿the common law¿ is the norm. This, however, is rarely attended with a reasoned account on the relevance of the concept, in the motions of the judicial process. Still more confounding, hardly any rationalization is ever offered, regarding the place of the common law in the interpretation and application of the terms of the increasingly-popular constitutional codes ¿ such as the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. Such is a clear deficiency in the framework of the applicable jurisprudence. The task has fallen to this book, to bridge that gap; and besides, to shed extra light on the standing of aleading contemporary legal family, the common law, in face of a codified constitution. This study depicts the progressive historical profile of the common law, and its place in the varied economic, social and political environments. The reader will be so much the better, for appreciating the fundamental reference-points in the discharge of the judicial mandate ¿ this being so vital to the goals of constitutionalism and good governance.

The objective of this book is to study the factors affecting the long-standing relations between Ethiopia and Eritrea, dating back to most defining and interacting historical and political scenes. The factors influencing bilateral relations between Ethiopia and Eritrea came from diverse and intertwined sources, ranging from the impacts of the legacies of colonial segregation, assimilation practices, and the power struggle between competing political actors. The book, therefore, intended to study an overarching question: Why did the relationship between Ethiopia and Eritrea evolve from stalemate to preliminary cooperation? The book makes an in-depth discussion of factors limiting the development of the bilateral relations between Ethiopia and Eritrea, especially after 1991. The transition from confrontation to preliminary cooperation is the call of the times and the best way to serve the interests of the two countries and peoples.I made three arguments: the legacies of colonial segregation, the historical scars of assimilation practices and the antagonism existing among the diverging political actors built an impasse that affected bilateral relations.

In the world, the cultivation of cocoa beans is carried out in several African countries, and the production of natural cocoa butter from them meets only 45% of production needs. In this regard, the development of effective technologies for producing cocoa butter substitutes based on vegetable oils is of great importance. Currently, it is of great importance to conduct scientific research in such areas as obtaining cocoa butter substitutes, using local vegetable oils and fats, improving their production technology, identifying raw materials for the production of cocoa butter substitutes, determining the influence of technological indicators of statistical transesterification on the quantitative and qualitative indicators of the resulting cocoa butter substitute, determination of a comparative assessment of the conformity and volumetric shrinkage of the substitute according to the indicators of medicinal cocoa butter in order to determine the use of a cocoa butter substitute in confectionery products and medicines. The monograph is useful for researchers, undergraduates, oil and fat industry specialists, university teachers, and doctoral students.

Phraseology encompasses a dynamic and expressive domain of language, characterized by its figurative, emotive, and descriptive qualities. These vivid and diverse linguistic expressions have been employed by people over generations, enriching communication through their artistic and effective nature. They cover various aspects of human existence and are deeply rooted in different cultures. However, it is important to distinguish phraseology from general vocabulary when evaluating the richness of language. Lexicology examines the richness of individual words, while phraseology focuses on the richness of idiomatic expressions.Within the field of phraseological science, significant advancements have been made in studying and comprehending phraseological data. Scholars, such as I. Kenesbayev, have emphasized the valuable contributions of phraseology to linguistic research, providing comprehensive insights into idiomatic language.

Data science is a multidisciplinary field that involves the extraction of knowledge and insights from data using various scientific methods, processes, algorithms, and systems. It combines elements from statistics, mathematics, computer science, and domain knowledge to understand and analyze complex data sets.The goal of data science is to uncover patterns, trends, and relationships in data that can be used to make informed decisions, solve problems, and drive business outcomes. It involves collecting, cleaning, and transforming raw data into a usable format, applying statistical techniques and machine learning algorithms to extract meaningful information, and communicating the findings to stakeholders.Data scientists use a wide range of tools and technologies, including programming languages like Python and R, statistical modeling techniques, data visualization tools, and big data platforms. They work with large and diverse data sets, which can include structured data from databases, unstructured data from social media or text documents, and streaming data from sensors or IoT devices.Data science has applications in various industries, including finance, healthcare, marketing etc.

The stability problems of a multilayered bodies with a damaged contact of materials are considered in the exact formulation of the three-dimensional linearized stability theory of deformable bodies. The opening of the interface crack is taken as the stability loss of the composite. Using integral Fourier transforms, the problems are reduced to a system of homogeneous Cauchy-type singular integral equations of the second kind with additional conditions. The buckling load is found numerically: using the Gauss-Chebyshev integral formula the eigenvalue problem is reduced to a system of 2n homogeneous algebraic equations with 2n unknown values of functions of displacement perturbations. The dependences of the critical load on the geometric and physical parameters of the composite materials are analyzed.

Real estate economics is the application of economic techniques to real estate markets. This category tries to describe, explain and predict price, supply and demand patterns. The near field of housing economics is narrower in scope, focusing on residential real estate markets, while research from real estate transaction trends focuses on the business and structural changes affecting the industry. Both cases draw on partial equilibrium analysis (supply and demand), urban economics, spatial economics, basic and extensive research, surveys, and finance.

This research work analyses the role of financial institutions in developing small-scale enterprises (SMEs) with a particular reference to the impact of Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) credit funding on the performance of SMEs. The study employed one independent variable (DMBs credit funding) and two dependent variables (productivity and profitability of SMEs) with a sample of twenty (20) SMEs financed by Fidelity Bank Plc during the Year 2015. Secondary data from the Central Bank of Nigeria statistical database and SMEs record were used in the study. The data was run using SPSS 16.0. The result of the study showed that DMBs credit funding positively impacted the productivity and profitability of SMEs in Nigeria. It is therefore recommended that DMBs charge low interest to encourage small-scale enterprises. The study also recommends that the Government make more policies that will compel DMBs and other financial institutions to increase credit access to SMEs to enable them to invest in capital equipment to increase productivity and profitability in the future.

The thoughts inside the human brain for learning, understanding, and describing are imprecise. The boundaries of these concepts are not precisely defined. Therefore, judging and rationalizing that develop from the human brain also become uncertain. Although the usage of neutrosophic and other hybrid sets in psychology is evident, the preference of using them is not widespread. We have tried to bring out the significance of neutrosophic theory in analyzing psychological disorders rather than using traditional set theory. The psychiatrists are used to analyze scaled data with statistical techniques. Neutrosophic logic acts as a vital tool to deal with uncertainty. The reason for introducing the neutrosophic concept in the study of the psychology field is that much of the data received by the questionnaire is imprecision. Using neutrosophic information instead of raw data has the advantage of reducing vagueness. In psychology, this concept offers an additional benefit and allows us to use vagueness measures to quantify the ambiguity associated with the prediction of psychological disorders.

Soccer, one of the most popular sports worldwide, demands a unique combination of skills, including agility, ball control, speed, and tactical awareness. To optimize soccer performance, coaches and players continually seek effective training methods. This research delves into the efficacy of specific soccer drills in enhancing soccer performance. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, incorporating quantitative performance metrics and qualitative feedback from players and coaches. A diverse group of soccer players, ranging from youth to professional levels, participated in a structured training program. The program included a set of specific soccer drills meticulously designed to target distinct aspects of the game, such as dribbling, passing, shooting, defensive positioning, and agility. Quantitative analysis revealed significant improvements in various performance indicators, including sprint times, ball possession, and shooting accuracy, following the implementation of specific drills. Furthermore, this research examined the transferability of skills acquired through specific drills to real-game situations.

HRD is a process of advancing the human knowledge, skills and attitudes in order to enable them to work efficiently and there by achieve the organisational excellence. Organisations are nothing but the agglomeration of human beings to bring animation in the organisation functioning. However, the animate factor, the human being, can alone handle, channelise and transform the inanimate factors such as physical, financial, technological, market and time into goods and services so as to serve the common purpose of individuals, organisations and society. This is due to the fact that human potentialities are elastic vis-a-vis of their counter parts. Hence the performance of organisations is sum of the direct contribution of the human beings. But human beings suffer from many ills like lethargy, lack of knowledge, skills and interests. Further they always resist to change which is the prime factor in all the endeavours of organisational life. To overcome the maladies.... physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual of human beings, they have to be trained, through appropriate measures in order to convert them into human capital.

Libraries all over the world are regarded as the memory base of the society as they play a vital role in societal development. The national library which serves as the apex library of any country, is mandated by law to serve as the repository of information resources. Legal deposit is crucial as a statutory obligation for effective collection and preservation of a country¿s published heritage. The legal deposit law ensures the intellectual and cultural heritage of a nation is collected, accessioned, stored, protected, preserved and made accessible to its citizens and future generations. Deposited publications are used to estimate statistical data output, immortalize publishers and measure the Human Development Index (HDI) of a country. Therefore, legal deposit law compliance is very vital in every nation. The emphasis is on building a national heritage. Hence this book is recommended for authors, publishers, researchers, librarians, nation policy makers and those in the book trade, as a guide to building a cultural and intellectual heritage for present and future generations. Though the book uses Nigeria as a case study, the principle is applicable anywhere.

Japan: The Rise and Fall of an Empire covers many decades of Japanese Empire history. It identifies the beliefs, the policies, and the practices of the Japanese from 1853 to the Pacific War. It describes Japan¿s opening to modernization with the 1853 arrival of commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry in the country, and details the wars launched by Emperor Meiji and Emperor Hirohito.The book exposes the expansionist policy practiced by Japan at the end of the 19th century and during the first period of the 20th century.
