Oil Economy and Society of Nigeria’s Niger Delta Region, 1956-2019

This paper studies the oil economy with a particular focus on the Nigeria’s Niger Delta Region. It argues that since the discovery and exploration of oil in commercial quantities in the Region, it has become both a blessing and a curse. It is a blessing because it has provided wealth to the people and government of the region. Some indigenes of the Nigeria Delta are owners of the oil wells others are employed to work with the oil multi-national companies like Chevron, Texaco, Shell Petroleum Development Company, Agip Oil Company, et cetera. The exploration of oil in the area under review is also a curse because it has negatively affected plants and animals (that is the destruction of flora and fauna); it has destroyed the ecosystem of the area. Using survey and documentary methods of data collection; the paper reveals that despite the discovery and exploration of oil in the said region, Nigeria’s Delta Region has remained one of the underdeveloped regions of the country. This is to say that the impact of the oil industry on the economy and society of the people is marginally felt. Based on the foregoing, these policy options are made. The government should give immediate attention to the indigenes of the region where crude oil is being extracted from. This will reduce the unrest in that region. The government should establish an institution that will ensure that the multinational oil companies are socially responsible to their host communities. Environmental pollution and the adverse effects on the host communities of oil exploration sites in the Niger Delta is an important issue that requires urgent and prompt attention because petroleum production forms the major natural-based resources on which the country depends. Therefore, Policymakers of the various oil exploration companies should realize that there is a need to protect the health, safety, and welfare of these communities. The communities and the inhabitants have to be well protected and some of the health and safety measures, which members of the company staff benefit, should be extended to members of the host communities to improve their standard of living.

Utilizing 31 Chinese province panel data models to investigate the factors influencing house prices

In the realm of data analysis, this research employs regression models to delve into the complexities of housing market dynamics. The construction sector of real estate development companies, the amount invested in real estate development, and the gross regional product have all been found to be important determinants of home prices. Interestingly, the most significant factor is the investment in real estate development, which has a significant impact on house prices. The analysis reveals a positive correlation between the gross regional product and investment amount in real estate development with housing prices, suggesting that as these economic indicators rise, so too do housing prices. Conversely, the author observes a negative correlation between the construction area of real estate development enterprises and housing prices, indicating that an increase in construction area is associated with a decrease in housing prices. These findings underscore the importance of considering these key factors when analyzing housing market trends, providing valuable insights for policymakers, investors, and researchers alike. By understanding these relationships, stakeholders can make more informed decisions to navigate the ever-evolving housing market landscape.

Can State-owned Shareholders' Participation Curb Stock Price Crash Risk? --Based on Empirical Evidence of A-share Private Listed Companies from 2008 to 2019

After state-owned shareholders buy shares in private listed companies, they will more or less bring about some changes in the development of private listed companies. The existence of state-owned shareholders can enable listed companies to obtain more resources, which will play a certain role in promoting the company's operation. These favorable conditions will also attract more attention from the outside world. In order to study whether these changes will affect or restrain the company's stock price crash risk during the company's development, we take the stock price data of private listed companies in A-shares from 2008 to 2019 as the object of analysis. This paper studies the influence of state-owned shareholders' participation on the risk of stock price collapse of private companies. Through the regression model analysis, it is found that there is a significant negative correlation between the state-owned shareholders' participation in the private listed company and the company's stock price crash risk, that is, the state-owned shareholders' participation in the private listed company can significantly restrain the company's stock price crash risk.

A Comparative Study on Customer Churn Analysis Using Machine Learning and Data Enrichment Techniques

With the increasing amount of online shopping, companies can collect more customer data. Companies use this data to get to know their customers better and provide customized services. Churn analysis is one of the most essential analyses derived from the vast amount of data collected, which provides information about when a customer will stop shopping with the company. In this study, we perform a churn analysis using machine learning (ML) algorithms to analyse the customer behavior data of a fashion retail company. To perform churn analysis, we performed a four-stage methodology. First, we carried out data preparation and visualization studies, and then we created models using various ML algorithms. After examining the baseline data, we added the RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) score to the data with the data enrichment technique and performed the analysis again. We used the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) to eliminate the data irregularity and performed parameter optimization on the algorithms in SMOTE data. We compared the accuracy and F1 score values obtained after this four-stage process and examined the effect of the algorithms. In the last stage, we divided whole data into clusters using the k-means technique and applied ML algorithms to clustered data. Then, we compared all these results and examined the effect of segmentation on the results. The analysis shows that the extreme gradient boosting algorithm provides better accuracy and F1 score values. Using these results, the company can identify customers likely to churn and begin funding Customer Relationship Management (CRM) efforts. Additionally, experts can determine the company's development directions by organizing campaigns for these customers and analysing their reasons for churn in more detail.

Skills Mismatch in Entry-level Programmer Positions: Employer Expectations vs. Observations in Lalitpur, Nepal

Despite an annual influx of programming graduates from Information Technology (IT)-focused educational institutions, software companies struggle with the persistent challenge of finding qualified candidates for entry-level programming roles. In this context of skill shortage, this study explored the crucial issue of skill mismatch of IT graduates, by assessing the employers’ expectations and observations vital for entry-level programming positions. This study employed a quantitative survey approach to delve into this skills mismatch issue. Professionals within 128 software development companies in Lalitpur were surveyed, all holding managerial positions and possessing programming experience. Utilizing a Likert scale questionnaire distributed through Google Forms, these industry experts rated their expectations and real-world observations concerning the specific skills requisite for entry-level programming positions. The analysis of expectations of skills showed that learning attitude (personal), basic concepts of programming (technical), and organizational culture fit (interpersonal) were considered the most important skills. Personal or college projects and skills in version management and testing were considered equally important. The analysis of skill expectations versus observations uncovers noteworthy disparities, mostly observed in personal skills, with expectations significantly exceeding actual observations. Almost 50% of the skills were found to have high importance and high gaps, most of which were personal skills. The discrepancy was comparatively less in interpersonal and technical compared to personal skills. Perceptions regarding the alignment of knowledge, skills, and attitude (KSA) were mixed in which most of the respondents indicated moderate to strong alignment between expectations and observations for knowledge and skills, while weak alignment for attitudes. Statistical analysis confirmed significant mean differences between expected and observed skills across all skill categories, reaffirming the existence of a skills mismatch. Notably, employers overwhelmingly advocate ii addressing these skill mismatches through training and development initiatives. These findings shed light on the multifaceted nature of the skills mismatch challenge in Lalitpur’s entry-level programming job market, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to bridge this gap and foster alignment between employer expectations and the skills of recent graduates. Aligning curriculum with industry needs and designing skill development approaches is of utmost importance to enhance graduates’ workforce readiness, facilitating a smoother transition for entry-level programmer positions.

Isolation of 6-gingerol and semi-synthesis of 1,4-benzodiazepines derivatives: An in-situ pharmacokinetics properties, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation assessments

This paper outlines a methodical approach for isolating 6-gingerol (1a) from Zingiber officinale Roscoe rhizomes on a gram-scale, resulting in a product of high purity and significant yield. Further, 6-gingerol (1a) [SSG1] derivatives, including 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)decane-3,5-dione (1ab), were synthesized via a semi-synthetic pathway involving DMP-mediated fast oxidation and replication. Subsequently, a new series of 1,4-benzodiazepines (3a-c) was synthesized quantitatively using a basic technique. This synthesis necessitated the interaction of 1ab with various o-phenylenediamine (2a-c) compounds. Spectroscopic methods were employed to characterize the synthesized 1,4-benzodiazepines (3a-c)[SSG2, SSG3 & SSG4]. Despite extensive investments by pharmaceutical companies in traditional drug research and development for diseases like type 2 diabetes (T2D), successful treatments remain elusive. Medication repurposing has gained traction as a strategy to address not only diabetes but also other disorders. Leveraging existing molecular pharmacology data accelerates the development of new medications. This paper underscores the importance of repurposing traditional medicines to combat a range of communicable and non-communicable diseases, offering a promising avenue for therapeutic advancement. Additionally, molecular docking studies suggested that one derivative (SSG2) exhibited stronger binding affinity compared to the reference standards. Overall, the findings of this study highlight the potential of semi-synthetic gingerol derivatives for the development of novel therapeutic agents.
