APPRAISAL OF THE CAPACITY OF NATIONAL COUNTER TERRORISM STRATEGY TO PREVENT AND COMBAT TERRORISM IN NIGERIA

The standing policy adopted by Nigerian states to fight against terrorism is known as the National Counter Terrorism Strategy (NACTEST). This tactic has five pillars, namely: to forestall, to secure, to identify, to prepare, and to implement. Most of the literature engages on reasons for the emergency of terrorism, the effect of terrorism, or the strategy adopted by the terrorist to perpetrate their heinous activities. However, little attempt has been made to evaluate the efficacy of Nigeria's strategy against terrorism, especially NACTEST. Based on this backdrop, this paper is an attempt to examine the performance of Nigeria in identifying terrorist plans and its preparations to thwart them. These are two major and critical pillars of the NACTEST document (to identify and prepare). The paper adopts secondary methods of data gathering and content analysis for analyzing both primary and secondary data as a source of information gathering and content analysis methods for analyzing the generated data. The paper also adopted protracted social conflict theory to analyze the reasons for terrorism and the methods adopted by the Nigerian government to address those motivating factors. It was discovered that the Nigerian government has been able to prevent attacks by terrorists by identifying some sources of terrorist funding in Nigeria. However, it was discovered that, as far as the capacity of the government is concerned, security agencies still lack the necessary capacity to efficiently explore and detect terrorist attacks before they occur. The paper recommends more engagement of civilians and community stakeholders in fighting against terrorism in Nigeria.

The Other Side of the Hill – Endeavouring to Define Intelligence in the 21st Century: A Perspective

This paper discusses not a definition but defining characteristics of intelligence, those it has inherited from the Cold War, and those which new conditions are forcing it to adapt to. Intelligence cannot be reduced to a simple sentence-length definition. Intelligence is iterative – its nature varies depending on the context in which it is produced. Its unconventional methods combined with its exclusivity of method and content makes intelligence information different from other sorts. These essential characteristics allow us to understand the relationship between different intelligence’s and between them and related concepts of ‘intelligence-adjacency’ as well as good old fashioned, but ever reliable, basic ‘research’. Intelligence has a wide ambit; it is not a discipline in itself, but something combining varying methods of information gathering and analysis to create ephemeral knowledge of genuine, but ephemeral, value – within the varying contexts in which it is used.

Predicting early depression in WZT drawing image based on deep learning

AbstractWhen stress causes negative behaviours to emerge in our daily lives, it is important to intervene quickly and appropriately to control the negative problem behaviours. Questionnaires, a common method of information gathering, have the disadvantage that it is difficult to get the exact information needed due to defensive or insincere responses from subjects. As an alternative to these drawbacks, projective testing using pictures can provide the necessary information more accurately than questionnaires because the subject responds subconsciously and the direct experience expressed through pictures can be more accurate than questionnaires. Analysing hand‐drawn image data with the Wartegg Zeichen Test (WZT) is not easy. In this study, we used deep learning to analyse image data represented as pictures through WZT to predict early depression. We analyse the data of 54 people who were judged as early depression and 54 people without depression, and increase the number of people without depression to 100 and 500, and aim to study in unbalanced data. We use CNN and CNN‐SVM to analyse the drawing images of WZT's initial depression with deep learning and predict the outcome of depression. The results show that the initial depression is predicted with 92%–98% accuracy on the image data directly drawn by WZT. This is the first study to automatically analyse and predict early depression in WZT based on hand‐drawn image data using deep learning models. The extraction of features from WZT images by deep learning analysis is expected to create more research opportunities through the convergence of psychotherapy and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) technology, and is expected to have high growth potential.

Role of Information, Education and Communication (IEC) for HIV/AIDS

Today it is impossible to think of life without communication. Human history has passed through different stages of evolution, but the present era is being described as the age of communication. Though communication is as old as human history itself, what is remarkable about the present age is the revolutionary changes in the mode of communication. There is no doubt that human communication consisting of exchange of information existed from the dawn of human civilization. Since then, the method of gathering information and the mode of transmitting the same from place to place and person to person have undergone remarkable changes. Scientific and technological advancement have also made it possible to improve methods of preserving vast quantities of information for use as and when we need them. Today what is being described as the communication revolution deals primarily with Information, Communication Technology (1CT). It affects the way we deal with data and information in three important areas: (a) gathering, (b) transmission (c) storage. The aim of the present research paper is to study the role of Information, Education and Communication for HIV/AIDS.

Rock mass substitute geometry theory (SGT) and 3D centroid sliding pyramid (CSP) method

Discontinuous analysis methods are typically used for the stability analysis of fractured rock masses with multiple sets of joints. Among various discontinuous methods, the key block theory (KBT) requires less data input, has a higher computational efficiency, and is suitable for wide-ranging engineering applications. Classical discontinuous numerical methods typically require complete boundary information for rock block units. However, current information-gathering methods can only capture information on rock surfaces. The proposed rock mass substitute geometry theory (SGT) overcomes this limitation by using local geometric information to equivalently represent the original geometric body simplifying subsequent analyses. A 3D centroid sliding pyramid (CSP) method is introduced for motion state analysis of a rock block that uses only the collinear faces of a block’s free surfaces. A comparison of CSP with KBT proves that CSP not only addresses the issue of collecting only surface information of rock masses but it significantly minimizes the computation scale. Additionally, a 3D discontinuous analysis program was developed, encompassing the entire process of rock mass information gathering, 3D discontinuous modeling, and 3D CSP analysis. The effectiveness and efficiency of the method were validated using stochastically generated models, while its practical engineering applicability was demonstrated at an engineering site.

SENSITIVE JOURNALISM AS A CONFLICT SETTLEMENT TECHNOLOGY

The article is devoted to the possibilities of sensitive journalism in preventing or ending conflicts. Existing proposals based on international experience regarding the use of sensitive journalism as a way to prevent and end conflicts are considered: the need to investigate structural and cultural violence against certain groups; identify all groups that are participants in the conflict; outline the real interests of these groups; to become a dialogue platform for conflicting parties. Conflict is defined by specialists in sensitive journalism as a situation when two or more people, groups of people, have or think they have incompatible goals and undermine the possibility of achieving each other’s goals. When creating journalistic material taking into account the methods of sensitivity, it is first necessary to determine the stage of the conflict (superficial, latent, open), as it affects the further focus of the illumination. Experts advise giving voice by telling personal stories to all potentially conflicted groups. If the conflict has entered the latent stage, it is necessary to reveal the needs of the conflicting groups. Open conflict is an open, often violent, deeply expressed, deep-seated frustration with an unmet need or goal. As the conflict escalates, the collective identity of each side is formed as the opposite of the enemy’s personality. From the point of view of sensitive journalism, it is necessary to study in detail all the nuances of such mutual identification. Further, when journalists “allow their media to become a place for dialogue,” they thereby facilitate mutual understanding between the parties. Further, the article outlines the possibilities of using the technology of sensitive journalism in the modern Ukrainian context. This has gained relevance in connection with Guided by the OSCE proposals, the Ukrainian media space tried to respond to requests of conflict sensitivity. In particular, central and regional online media and television content were monitored. Research results: central and regional online media in 2015 provided 5% of information about social groups related to the conflict. Most of the materials were devoted to fighters; less than 1% to volunteers and immigrants; materials dedicated to the residents of the occupied territories are completely absent. The results of the television content research show similar trends. The analysis of the target groups that were studied in the course of monitoring makes it possible to understand that these are groups that appeared already during the open armed conflict. Thus, unfortunately, we cannot talk about the awareness of the need to investigate and understand the situation of cultural and structural violence that preceded the conflict, to take into account the interests of all interested groups and to have a deep understanding of the context. Separately, such a basic thing for conflict-sensitive journalism as a sensitive interview should be mentioned. Ukrainian journalists and specialists in the field of communication began to pay attention to him mainly during the large-scale invasion of 2022. Although the basic principles of a sensitive interview are somewhat clear, it is a pity that there is no clear line between the interview as a genre and as a method of gathering information. Clearly establishing this boundary, understanding the sensitive interview exclusively as a method of gathering information, in our opinion, would help to better understand the possibilities of this type of interview.

THE ATTITUDE OF YOUNG AUDIENCES TO THE NATIONAL TELETHON DURING THE WAR

The article deals with the peculiarities of demand and the justification of the functioning of the national telethon «The only news (Yedyni Novyny)» in the second year of the RussianUkrainian war through the prism of the preferences of the young audience. Attention is focused on the main arguments of criticism of the national telethon and compared with real threats and challenges. The main argument against preserving the single format of the telethon is the presentation of one-sided information and the low level of compliance with journalistic standards, in particular regarding the balanced presentation of information. Involvement of the same speakers, lack of variety of content presentation leads to the fact that the marathon becomes uninteresting for viewers. There is another, no less important argument against the preservation of a single telethon. According to some respondents, the telethon has turned into a PR platform for pro-government political forces and does not provide an opportunity for alternative politicians and experts to participate in the debate. Alternative politicians and experts are not allowed to participate. At the same time, journalists fear that the format of a single telethon may lead to the elimination of alternative sources of information. Theoretical, empirical and sociological research methods were used to conduct this study. Among the theoretical ones are the analysis of documents that regulate media activities, the drafting of legislative acts that relate to the specifics of the functioning of various spheres during the war, a review of the works of Ukrainian and foreign researchers. Empirical methods include content analysis, which was applied to highlight the main topics covered in the National telethon «The only news» in the second year of the war. The content analysis was carried out by watching the broadcasts of TV channels every Friday from December 2023 to January 2024. The survey as a sociological method of information gathering was applied to study the attitude of the young audience to the national telethon «The only news» during the war.
