- Recent events around the world have made humans more conscious of the environment in which they live. Since the environment is not subject to human command, attention must focus on how to use the instrumentality of the law, a potent weapon of social control, to regulate human activities that abuse the environment and unleash devastating consequences on the entire ecosystem. This work is a survey of efforts at enhancing the quality of life in Nigeria viewed from the prism of environmental law. It highlights constitutional provisions, statutory enactments and institutional framework, and judicial remedies that seek to protect the environment. The work also offers useful suggestions on how to ameliorate the deplorable environmental situation in Nigeria by improved enforcement of extant laws, efficient coordination of relevant government agencies, effective utilization of delegated legislative authority, reform of the legal landscape by conferment of statutory standing to sue in environment- related cases and the recognition of the right to a healthy environment as a constitutional right 2 results 2

- "The challenges of ever-increasing demand for university education in the face of inadequate human and infrastructural resources and rapidly increasing population have necessitated distance learning programmes. This study evaluated Universities of Ibadan and Lagos Distance Learning Programmes. Samples of 200 participants (100 graduates. and 100 employers) were purposively selected. Two research questions guided the research. Two validated instruments with reliability coefficients of 0.82 and O.86 respectively, were used to collect data. Data were analysed using chi square and independent t-test. Findings revealed that graduates of UIDLC performed significantly better than their ULDLI counterparts, in terms of class of degree obtained: a chi-square value of (1632.18) which is significant at 0.05, (p < 0.05). This shows that there is a statistical significant difference in the performance of UIDLC distance learning education graduates and their ULDLI counterparts and it is to the advantage of UIDLC . In addition, graduates of both programmes were making similar positive impact in their work environment as the difference in their job performance is not statistically significant. The two distance learning institutions strove to achieve the objectives of providing quality education through distance learning mode of instruction in educating distance learners to enhance learner's productivity.Recommendations made were: the two institutions must aim at improving teachinglearning resources, learner-support services and establishing human resource development centres to aid develop strong and holistic human resources in order to improve quality of their graduates and also position distance education in Nigeria for international recognition." 1 results 1
- A descriptive survey design was adopted to investigate the relationship that exists amongst locus of control, work engagement, organizational reward system, job satisfaction and social loafing among the staff of distance learning programme in South-western Nigeria. Four hundred and forty-seven (males = 184; females = 263) learners support staff with an age range of 22 to 55 years were randomly drawn from open and distance learning universities located in South-western Nigeria. They responded to five standardised self report questionnaires. The results show that the majority (67.6%) of the respondents reported different forms of social loafing. There was a significant gender difference in the social loafing behaviour scores of male and female [t (445) = 0.773, p < 0.01]. Male respondents reported more social loafing behaviour (x? = 40.95) than their female counterparts (x = 25.48). There was a positive relationship between locus of control and social loafing though not significant. The relationship among job satisfaction, work engagements as well as reward system and social loafing were inverse. It concluded that personal and organisational factors predispose workers to social loafing. It is recommended that ODL management should also put in place better systems of reward practice and recognition. Counselling intervention is also required to reorient learner support staff who are loafers at OD institutions. 1 results 1

- All over the world, the products of man's intellect are recognized and protected by the intellectual property law. The essence of the recognition and protection is to ensure that man's creativity and ingenuity are not unduly harnessed and exploited. A broad division of intellectual property law is the copyright law which protects, among others, literary) and artistic works. Like any other civilized country, Nigeria has a copyright law. Libraries and archives, being the main custodians of and the most prominent intermediaries between users and copyrighted works, it is essential that they should be abreast of copyright law in Nigeria. Unfortunately, not much exposition has been made on the application of copyright law in libraries and archives in Nigeria. This paper, therefore, takes a look at Nigeria's Copyright Act and interprets its provisions for libraries and archives in Nigeria. Making reference to the practice in other countries, particularly the developed world, as well as relevant statutory’ provisions, the paper defines the obligations of libraries and archives in the enforcement of copyright law. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for information professionals to be abreast of legislations relating to information provision and to balance the interest of information resources users with that of copyright owners in order to protect intellectual property rights. 1 results 1

- Biometric systems have overtime served as robust security mechanisms in various domains. Fingerprints are the oldest and most widely used form of biometric identification. A critical step in exploring its advantages is to adopt it for use as a form of security in already existing systems, such as vehicles. This research work focuses on the use of fingerprints for vehicle ignition, as opposed to the conventional method of using keys. The prototype system could be divided into the following modules: fingerprint analysis software module that accepts fingerprints images; hardware interface module and the ignition system module. The fingerprint recognition software enables fingerprints of valid users of the vehicle to be enrolled in a database. Before any user can ignite the vehicle, his/her fingerprint image is matched against the fingerprints in the database while users with no match in the database are prevented from igniting the vehicle. Control for the ignition system of the vehicle is achieved by sending appropriate signals to the parallel port of the computer and subsequently to the interface control circuit. The developed prototype serves as an impetus to drive future research, geared towards developing a more robust and embedded real-time fingerprint based ignition systems in vehicles. 1 results 1

- Cosmopolitan justice, the view that justice is a universal idea that should apply to all persons irrespective of nationality has generated a lot of debate among political philosophers. Earlier studies have conceived of justice either as a territorially-bounded concept or as a trans-territorial idea, which must apply globally but failed to provide a trans-culturally persuasive account of justice that would form the basis for regulating transnational relations. This study, therefore, developed an account of cosmopolitan justice founded on the minimum requirement of non-harm that would provide a trans-culturally persuasive basis for regulating relations among nations. The study adopted aspects of Kant’s categorical imperative which emphasised respect for persons as framework. Eight major texts on political philosophy and moral philosophy including Miller’s On Nationality (ON), Beitz’s Political Theory and International Relations (PTIR), Jone’s Global Justice (GJ) and Pogge’s World Poverty and Human Rights (WPHR), O’Neill’s Bounds of justice (BJ), Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals (GMM), Norman’s The Moral Philosophers(MP) and Singer’s Practical Ethics (PE) were purposively selected. These works dealt extensively with the question of the proper scope of justice. Conceptual analysis was used to clarify key concepts such as justice, minimalism and non-harm while the critical method was employed to examine earlier approaches to trans-national understanding of justice and to develop a minimalist account of cosmopolitan justice. Texts on political philosophy revealed the nature of the dispute between cosmopolitans who argue that principles of justice must be extended to the global arena while anti-cosmopolitans perceive justice as applicable only within national borders. Cosmopolitans claim that the level of institutional ties that bind societies across the world are morally significant and that the recognition of basic rights to a minimally decent existence is a basis for cosmopolitan justice (PTIR, WPHR and GJ). Against this view, anti-cosmopolitans contend that justice is a context-dependent norm that is only applicable amongst co-nationals who share special associational bonds (ON). Text on moral philosophy stressed the importance of moral equality of persons which imposes on us the duty of beneficence and non-harm as core ethical principles that ought to regulate our interactions with others (GMM and PE). Critical intervention shows that the approaches`` of earlier cosmopolitans and anti-cosmopolitans were inadequate on account of their rigid emphasis on institutional and associational ties. In the contemporary world the consequences of our actions increasingly affect distant others. Paying particular attention to duty of non-harm owed all persons and the phenomenon of transnational harm, the principle of justice remains relevant to individuals who do not belong to a common nationality or institutional scheme. The principle of non-harm thereby provides a more persuasive basis for evolving a theory of justice that will be cross-culturally relevant. Causal responsibility for harm is sufficient to trigger the obligation of justice within and across nations. A minimalist account of cosmopolitan justice founded on the principle of non-harm, therefore, provides adequate basis for regulating transnational relations 1 results 1

- Cybercrime has become a phenomenal subject matter that has captured the interests of all sovereign states the world over. It is a crime that has peculiar characteristic which makes it different from other traditional crimes. The nature of cybercrime is such that its commission does not give recognition to physical borders or territorial integrity and therefore opens it up to multijurisdictional interests. The queer nature of the crime therefore requires the resolution of conflicts of interests of the States which have connections in one way or the other to the commission of such crime. This work examines the basic principles of jurisdiction in international law to determine the extent of their applicability to cybercrime. 1 results 1

- Economics is the most popular subject in the SSS Curriculum in Nigeria. It is offered by nearly all students. However, with the introduction of trade subjects into the SSS Curriculum, the popularity of economics among SSS Students became a point of debate among researchers and Curriculum planners. The researcher therefore, examined the effect this trade subject had on SSS economics enrolment, and the entrepreneurship aspect of Economics and the UTME admission requirement as it relates to Economics and these trade subjects. The study is an expost facto research and it made use of data on enrolment for Economics by public examination bodies, comparison of the curriculum of economics with that of trade subjects as well as JAMB brochure on requirements for admission, in analysing the effects of the introduction of trade subjects on the economics curriculum and enrolment. Three research questions guided the study. Analysing data presented by examination bodies, such as the WAEC and JAMB, the researcher was able to proof that, despite the introduction of trade subjects, Economics still maintain its popularity with students. It also kept its place as having the most comprehensive entrepreneurship topic compared to trade subjects. In addition, compared to trade subjects, Economics is still an important requirement for admission into Nigeria University while trade subjects are rarely required for admission. It is therefore recommended that curriculum planners should, in recognition of the popularity and usefulness of Economics, work on regularly improving/updating the Economics Curriculum, in order to make it attractive to all categories of secondary school students. 1 results 1

- Human resources are the most important and valued factor-input upon which every organisation achieves its desired goals and objectives; hence every organisation should ensure that employees‟ work values and expectations, known as Quality of Work-life (QWL) are always met and improved. However, QWL of an average Nigerian worker has been described as poor and low with negative consequences on their morale, commitment, efficiency and productivity; besides it has been attributed to employees‟ demographic factors and the organisational climate and culture in which they worked. Previous studies have concentrated more on the relative influence of these factors without considering their combined effects on QWL. This study, therefore, examined the extent to which demographic factors (age at work, sex, marital status, length of service, highest educational attainment and income), organisational climate (physical working environment, work involvement, organisational communication, organisational structure and worker-friendly policies) and culture (recognition of excellence/reward system, value for employees, allowance for creativity/innovation, teamwork and adaptation to change) predicted QWL in selected organisations in Ogun and Lagos states, Nigeria. The study adopted the survey research design. The multistage sampling procedure was adopted to select 99 management staff, 563 supervisors and 700 junior employees from 12 selected organisations in Ogun and Lagos States (three each from extractive, manufacturing, distributive, and services industries). Three scales were used: Organisational Climate Scale (r=0.89), Organisational Culture Scale (r=0.76) and QWL Scale (r=0.68). Two research questions were answered and four hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Data were subjected to descriptive statistics, Pearson product moment correlation and multiple regression analyses. Demographic factors, organisational climate and culture significantly influenced QWL (F(16,1257) =.277.685); jointly accounting for 78% in the total variance of QWL. Their relative contributions were: organisational culture (β=.649); organisational climate (β=.237) and demographic factors (β=.089). Significant positive relationships existed among organisational climate variables and QWL as follows:worker-friendly policies (r=.678), organisational structure (r=.650), work involvement(r=.629), organsational communication (r=.567) and physical working environment (r=.501). Quality of Work-Life has significant positive relationship with organisational culture variables as follows: adaptation to change (r=.768), value for employees (r=.687), teamwork (r=.679), recognition of excellence/reward system (r=.660) and allowance for creativity/innovation (r=.624). Observed relationships among the demographic factors and QWL were: age at work (r=-.192), length of service (r=-.122), sex (r=.106), income (r=-.091), highest educational attainment (r=-.061) and marital status (r=-.053). Demographic factors, organisational climate and culture positively enhanced the quality of work life of employees in Ogun and Lagos states. Therefore, in motivating employees to optimal and higher productivity level, adequate consideration and attention should be given to all variables of organisational climate and culture. In addition, attention should be given to employees‟ job entry age, length of service, sex and educational attainment in motivating them to a higher productivity level. 1 results 1
