Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to present the Igbo management philosophy as having the potential to bring about success in Africa and propose a framework that comprises a set of values and three key institutions: the marketplace, the family and the apprenticeship system. The paper shows that effective leaders are servant-leaders who sacrifice for others. Design/methodology/approach This paper relied on earlier and contemporary peer-reviewed, news media and books. These materials offered insight into what Igbos believed, how they behaved and how they historically organized their lives. Materials autho

Abstract:

Igbo studies, especially on political organisations, have enjoyed robust scholarly attention in historical discourse in recent times. The Igbo, unlike their immediate neighbours such as Benin (Edo) and the Igala, ran two parallel systems of government in the pre-colonial period. While some practised a centralised system of government, a reasonable number of Igbo communities contended with decentralised systems. Some reasons for the reign of peace and harmony amongst the Igbo have remained largely uninvestigated and unappreciated. The role of deities as the judicial arm of government in the def

Abstract:

This study explored the significance of including the study of some unrecognized Igbo cultural heritage into the primary education curriculum through the lens of Afrofuturism/African futurism. Drawing from data sourced from interviews conducted among individuals aged 75 years and above, this study illuminates the cultural, nutritional, and educational dimensions of integrating these elements into early education. From an Afrofuturist perspective, education serves as a vehicle for cultural preservation, empowerment, and envisioning alternative futures rooted in African heritage. The inclusion o

Abstract:

This paper explores the potential for an innovative, hybrid vocational education framework—the Global Adaptive Apprenticeship Model (GAAM)— that integrates the strengths of Nigeria‘s indigenous apprenticeship systems, namely the Yoruba Apprenticeship Training Scheme (YATS) and the Igbo Apprenticeship System (IAS), with the formalized German Dual Vocational Training Model. Responding to persistent global challenges such as skills mismatch, youth unemployment, and rapid technological change, this study adopts a qualitative, comparative methodology, synthesizing a wide body of literature from edu

Abstract:

This basic qualitative study investigates the origins and cultural identity of the Ogwashi-Uku people of Delta State, Nigeria, paying particular attention to both Benin and Nri Igbo ancestral influences. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and questionnaires administered to elders and leaders from nine quarters of Ogwashi-Uku—namely Ikelike, Umudei, Ogbe Ubu, Ogbe Aho, Agidiase, Agidiehe, Azungwu, Ogbe Umu Okwuni, and Ogbe Ihago. Findings indicate that community members widely acknowledge Benin ancestry, yet many also highlight Igbo connections, reflecting a blended heritage. Prese

The two novels sketch the complex cultural&ensp;background and historical situation of the two societies with the help of intertextuality. By means of a comparative study, this article explores the complexity of cultural identity in West Africa so directing the intertextual allusions and so moulding the narratives.

Abstract:

This article analyzes how contemporary queer African writing participates in decoloniality by queering (hetero)normative knowledge systems for social and epistemic transformation. In my reading of Akwaeke Emezi’s The Death of Vivek Oji (2020), I argue that Trans/Queer African literature participates in a very important epistemic project of counterfactualism by offering alternatives to perceived and systemically imposed African gender and sexual realities. The novel achieves this by deconstructing the hetero-naturalization of temporality to locate queer time and queer space within indigenous Af

Abstract: The paper reviews the history of Nigerian Women's suppression. From an earlier focus on women's suppression in the histories of religion, marriage, and education, this work takes on more recent studies by analyzing spheres of political participation to reveal the historical imbalance of women in political positions. This historiography counters previous work by the scholar, acknowledging women's advocacy for participation in domains traditionally dominated by men. The work will consider how historians have studied women's participation with focuses on female political events li

This paper explores the evolution and impact of African feminist theories within the historical and socio-cultural context of the continent. It delves into pre-colonial gender roles, illustrating the significant influence and authority women held in various African societies, such as the Akan and Igbo communities. The study examines the disruption of these roles by colonialism, which imposed Western patriarchal structures and marginalised women’s economic and political participation. Post-colonial developments highlight the emergence of feminist movements that strive to address these historica

Abstract:

Recently, long short-term memory (LSTM) networks have been widely adopted to help with fault diagnosis for power systems. However, the parameters of LSTM networks are determined by prior knowledge and experience and thereby not capable of dealing with unexpected faults in volatile environments. In this paper, we propose and apply an improved grey wolf optimization (IGWO) algorithm to optimize the parameters of LSTM networks, aiming to circumvent the drawback of empirical LSTM parameters and enhance the fault diagnosis accuracy for on-load tap changers (OLTCs).

Abstract:

Abstract Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) is one of the basic electronic components of rail and electric vehicle traction systems. They are used for switching and can perform this task very quickly. Regarding its operation, thermal modelling of IGBT modules is vital for obtaining temperature distribution for these components and thermal resistances of the entire IGBT as well. Nowadays, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a robust and advantageous tool for modelling fluid flow and heat transfer problems that can be adopted to the thermal design of such critical components to better un

Abstract:

Traveling wave (TW) optical amplifiers with high CW gains and wide band widths have recently been demonstrated at both 1.5 μm [1] and 1.3 μm [2] wavelengths. The use of optical amplifiers in ultra-high bit rate systems, such as those using optical time division multiplexing [3], requires knowledge of their gain characteristics for short (picosecond) optical pulse inputs. The amplification of short pulses has been demonstrated previously in various experiments using both GaAlAs and InGaAsP amplifiers [4-8]. All reported experiments used pulse repetition rates below 100 MHz. Moreover, only one p

Abstract:

Power semiconductor devices such as MOSFET/IGBT and PiN diodes are widely used as basic components for supporting infrastructure in the field of electronics, including in power conversion, industrial equipment, railways, and automobiles. Recently, increasing attention has been paid to silicon carbide (SiC) as a wide-band-gap semiconductor suitable for use in power devices with low loss and high breakdown voltage. However, basic knowledge of the material properties and reliability of SiC devices, and particularly the influence of mechanical stress on device characteristics, is still incomplete.
