This article is entitled ―A Study of the Reasons Why African Nations are Choosing to Adopt English as Their Official Language. A View of its Implications towards Conflicts of Interest and Disappointment with the Former Colonial Language‖. It highlights the way English is on the rise across Africa, and how a number of people, especially those in economic and social power, assert that this is a positive sign of development. As a matter of fact, English is a fast developing language in such a way that even in Africa, a growing number of French speaking countries are deciding to reject their former colonial language in order to adopt English as their official language.
Therefore, this article analyses a number of reasons behind such a decision taken by those African countries and presents a view of its implications towards conflicts of interest and disappointment with the former colonial language.

Country :: UK
Page Number :: 93-133
This paper can succinctly review the last five decades most prominent and influential researches, including the examination of CSR eclectic and versatile definitions, pithy classification, conceive theories, and the impacts on various stakeholders such as corporations, employees, competitors, customers and so forth. Numerous studies examining the corporate social responsibility performance correlates with the corporate financial performance. This chapter already review prior studies last five decades and conclude that companies are highly likely better performance for socially responsible companies. While companies engaging CSR activities, companies can improve unsullied corporate reputation amongst customers, suppliers, the government, shareholders, watchdogs and others, likely influencing corporate financial current and future performance. An official document, namely annual reports, is always reviewed by auditors and filed with securities regulators but CSR reports do not, thereby valuabily examining CSR quality through assurance. This paper can facilitate regulators to consider whether mandatorily govern listed firms to rigorous disclosure CSR information to gullible public and whether further require those firms to assure or audit their CSR report so as to provide more credible information to gullible public because such disclosure can affect gauche analysts, gauche and unwary investors and other unsophisticated stakeholders‘ decision making.

Author Name :: Kelson Carvalho Santos || Wesley da Silva Guimarães || João Carlos Gonçalves
Country :: Brazil
Page Number :: 153-160
The Internet of Things (IoT) encompasses new concepts and technologies that enable the realization of a connected real-life environment where "intelligent things" interact without human intervention. This technology finds applications in various sectors, including health, agriculture, industry, and urban lighting. This study focuses on implementing IoT in residential security by developing an integrated hardware and software system. The primary purpose of this system is to enable users to monitor their residences remotely, whether from short or long distances, using a mobile device. The proposed application is designed to be a cost-effective residential security solution. It operates by issuing smartphone alerts when any movement is detected within the sensor coverage area, allowing real-time monitoring of the residence's interior through images. The tests conducted have demonstrated that the developed application successfully fulfills the objectives outlined in this study. It serves as an additional resource in the evolving field of IoT, which, despite being in its early stages, needs more practical applications that implement the concepts discussed in the literature.

Page Number :: 194-207
In order to contribute to the development of a steam turbine locally, optimum performance parameters for a ten (10) megawatt steam turbine were analyzed for power generation in Iesus Hominum Salvator (IHS) community. Total power consumption of electrical appliances was estimated, from which future capacity projection was done for the design. A two-stage turbine with re-heater and regenerator Rankine cycle was adopted for the analysis. MATLAB code which is based on certain governing equations for estimating performance parameters based on the operating temperatures and pressures was developed. The effects of operating pressures on performance parameters were simulated and used to determine the optimum operating parameters for efficiency, steam quality and flow rate respectively using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Results from investigation shows that efficiency and steam quality tend to increase as re-heat pressure increases, while the volume of steam required to generate 10MW decreases. Efficiency of steam tends to increase with feed water pressures while the steam quality is unaffected. Efficiency of steam tends to decrease with the steam pressure at the turbine exit while the quality of steam tends to increase. Operating pressures for optimum efficiency, flow rate and steam quality obtained using RSM are 0.82MPa, 0.85MPa and 0.47MPa while efficiency, flow rate and steam quality are 42.2%, 2.8m3/s and 90% respectively. Optimum operating parameters for efficiency and economy were successfully determined for the design of 10MW steam turbine.

Paper Title :: Understanding the Complexity of Managerial Burnout: Proposition for Empirical Research
Author Name :: Nurul Hasnie Hassiza W Hassan || Naresh Kumar Samy
Country :: Malaysia
Page Number :: 208-215
This article highlights research investigating the potential causes of job burnout among human resources leaders that need significant attention, similar to other managers and professionals across the industry. The human resource leaders, who serve as the gatekeepers of the corporate organisation's staff, play a crucial role in balancing the potential of human capital; thus, their emotional and spiritual depths are vital. Emotions play a pivotal role, and failing to regulate them effectively can frequently result in different types of outbursts, which can impact the business and its stakeholders. We evaluate emotional and spiritual intelligence and emotional labour techniques from a paradigmatic perspective to understand how various emotions manifest in the workplace and may contribute to burnout. We propose a framework highlighting the incorporation of Emotional Contagion Theory in examining the factors leading to job burnout in business organisations. According to the emotional contagion theory, studying job burnout and its contributing factors provides valuable insights into mitigating burnout and bringing out people's best potential to achieve desirable outcomes. This article has mentioned the possibilities for researchers and human resource professionals to explore various aspects of job burnout and establish connections between different factors. We aim to support future research and enhance the adaptability of organisations in understanding the intricate yet influential concepts of emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence, and emotional labour methods to reduce job-associated burnout.

Paper Title :: Pancasila as the Axiological Foundation of the Progressive Law Paradigm
Author Name :: Agam Ibnu Asa || Ahmad Zubaidi || Agus Wahyudi
Country :: Indonesia
Page Number :: 222-232
This article examines Pancasila as an axiological foundation of the progressive law paradigm. The question raised in this article is about how the existence of Pancasila against the law in Indonesia? How to implement the values of Pancasila as an axiological basis of the progressive law paradigm? In this case Pancasila is the philosophy of life of the Indonesian nation as well as being the source of all sources of positive law that applies in Indonesia. This then becomes the reason that the values of Pancasila must underlie all aspects of national and state life, especially in the field of law. Progressive law became one of the paradigm models offered by Prof. SatjiptoRahardjo with his efforts to break the doctrine of positivism in practice in Indonesia. The progressive paradigm born in Indonesia certainly seeks to realize the ideals of the Indonesian nation contained in Pancasila. Therefore, there is a significant correlation related to Pancasila which contains values extracted from the soul of the Indonesian nation to be used as an axiological basis for progressive paradigms in an effort to realize substantive justice. The results of the study in this article include: (1) the existence of Pancasila in the Indonesian law system has a central position, Pancasila becomes the basic norm as a foothold in forming a constitution(2)Pancasila is the axiological foundation of the progressive law paradigm by upholding divine values, human values, and social justice values.

Paper Title :: A Paradigm of Tropical Forest Management
Author Name :: Klaus G. Hering
Country :: Brazil
Page Number :: 233-238
The regeneration of a pristine tropical forest continuously substitutes weak trees byvigorous individuals. Extracting the timber of those week trees does not endangersbiodiversity and the adaptive long run evolution of the biome. The carbon volume contained inthe extracted trunks is re-absorbed in the regeneration process. Anational Basic Rate of Forest Preservation together with a Basic Carbon Credit Value for tropical forests as an international policytool could contain greenhouse emissionsas afforded by cost requirements of CO2 absorption and carbon sinks retention. An institution with a threefold governance (forest owners, public agents and NGOs) enforces required management norms and enables the conciliation of preservation and economic feasibility.
