Abstract: Children who are not enabled to play freely may suffer limitations in their physical, social and cognitive development. There is a danger that widespread play deprivation may lead to future generations of adults lacking essential social and personal skills. Recent German research identifies opportunities for children aged between 5 and 9 to begin experiencing independence as essential for healthy child development, and distinguishes between autonomous and heteronomous forms of childhood. The amount of time that children in this age group play outside without adult supervision was investigated and found to correlate with the quality of children's residential environments. The quality of the 'action space' available to children correlates with the economic and cultural resources of their families, so that children from socially and materially deprived homes have significantly less opportunity to develop their autonomy, through the 'latent curriculum' of free play, than children from more affluent homes: 'street childhood' has become a sign of wealth rather than poverty. Conventional playgrounds with limited, fixed installations lack scope for imaginative or creative play and fail to meet the requirements of quality play space for children. In contrast, action spaces designed with local children and which allow for creative play with natural materials are 50% cheaper to build than standard playgrounds. The need is asserted for children's policy to be embedded in housing, public space, traffic and urban design decisions, in order for the right to play to be effectively implemented. These developments are contrasted with the prevailing culture and controversies on child safety and freedom in the USA, and compared to current trends and debates in the UK on the changing nature of childhood, restricted play opportunities and child safety. The impact of UK law is considered as a key factor contributing to fear of allowing children to experience risk in play. Further research is proposed to investigate the potential for urban design to enable healthier city childhoods, the relevance of common law as distinct from civil law systems in impairing exercise of the right to play, and the impact of cultural patterns on children's opportunities to develop autonomy.

Abstract: The Jews who returned from the exile, Later Jews who lived after the exile and the Early Church who have gone through intense persecutions elevated the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead as if it was the most important of all biblical doctrines. This notion has made some scholars to think that the idea of resurrection emanated from the exilic periods simply because the Jewish people suffered. Using the ancient Israelites views on the conceptions of the soul together with their burial beliefs, this researcher argues that the ancient Israelites beliefs in the afterlife which evolved into the doctrine of resurrection were visible even before the exile. Certain beliefs and practices of the Israelites suggests that their beliefs in the resurrection of the dead pre-dates the exilic periods. The purpose of this research is to show traces of resurrection beliefs in ancient Israel before the exile and to argue that the persecution of the Jewish is not the only reason behind the development of the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead.

Abstract: In the quest for making legal sense of human rights to equality for all and bringing sustainable change in the lives of human kind, bringing justice to the lime light of our hearts and minds is mandatory. In marching to growth and development, foremost, everyone must accept that human beings are created equal and lives should be treated undifferentiated. However, our world has lived in a state of selfishness; women (our beloved mothers, sisters, daughters, wives and relatives) remained marginalized for long years of time. This is a very disappointing act against the law of nature, or morality, and the positive law (in the sense of human rights to equality). In addition, it is an overt self-defeating move towards our endeavor for change and sustainable development. Therefore, this essay is purported to briefly and concisely depict the sensitivity of gender justice to human rights to equality and sustainable development. That it making gender justice a reality is vital for bringing comprehensive change decisive for betterment of human life. As such, this essay is going to curse the past mischief, and advocates and plausibly argues the need for the conception of gender justice in our every walk of life.

Abstract: The decentralization of economic and political powers has been an important tool for developing the rural and remote areas across the world. But how does decentralization work in some contexts and what are the challenges and opportunities? This paper discusses these issues in relation to Nigeria’s rural development experiences and practices. Various Nigeria’s rural development programmes have been reviewed to assess how their implementations have benefitted from decentralization practices. The results demonstrate that decentralization has not been strictly applied as a framework for the development of the rural areas. Colonial and post-colonial rural development plans have always been centrally directed. Even when constitutional reforms were effected to grant political, administrative, fiscal and financial autonomy to the rural areas through the local council authorities, actual implementation hardly reflect the ideals of decentralization. The paper argues that while the prospect of decentralization implies enormous opportunities for the development of the rural areas, such opportunity may hardly be realized due to a lack of local capacity to participate in local governance activities. Given this limitation, decentralization, in whatever form, will continue to be a tool to consolidate the State and elite powers.

Investigating the Structural Gap in Igbo Dance Theatre through the Primary, Performative and Quoting Repertoire Theories

Abstract: This work represents an on-going Ph.D. investigation of Igbo dance theatre in eastern Nigeria. Existing research on Igbo dance theatre reveals that different authors wrote about the forms of Igbo dance theatre and called them ‘Igbo dance theatre’. Furthermore, some scholars have also shown and commented on dance forms such as Okunmkpo, Odo and Ekpe as Igbo dance theatre. The concept of Igbo dance theatre as used in this study differs from those presentations and forms characterised by incomplete structures and plots that do not best describe Igbo dance theatre. In some forms of Igbo contemporary dance theatre, what audiences and participants witness is merely one stage of a spectrum whose other sections are neither visible nor necessarily articulated in and through dance. Thus, what is on show in many Igbo dances is only a part of the whole and it takes the combination of the visible stage action and an understanding of the imagined contents of missing sections, the latter being generally inferred or derived from legends, myths, folktales and from social commentary, for audiences to appreciate the full meaning and significance of Igbo dance theatre. This research is based on the premise that the structure of Igbo dance forms discussed earlier are sequestered, creating a ‘missing link.’ This case study provides an account of some practical aspects of an on-going Ph.D. project that focuses and draws upon primary research, Brad Haseman’s performative research theory and Yvonne Hardt’s repertoire theory. Performative research theory is concerned with those researchers who carry out practice-led research and such research is intrinsically experiential and comes to the fore when the researcher creates new artistic forms. Repertoire theory demonstrates how artists discover and use materials from the past to formulate new constructs based on the needs of present dance performances. Given that the primary goal of this investigation is to re-create and re-interpret Igbo dance form as a full dance theatre, where the narrative is not assumed to be clearly understood by the audience, both paradigms are useful for explaining the cultural histories, abstract symbols and information, the missing links and working structure of Igbo dance theatre.

Abstract: The European Missionaries failed to understand the important virtues of the Tiv traditional religion and technology and condemned the Tiv religion. The use of Western technology and tools destroyed the technical proficiency of the Tiv people, moral teachings and disciplines coming from the blacksmithing workshop was no longer there and this has accounted for moral decadence and retardation or thwarting in technical skill learning of the people. The study therefore, looks at Tiv traditional religion and its contribution to the trado-educational and technological development of the Tiv society. The study sampled 384 Traditional Priests, Traditional Engineers or Blacksmiths and the general Tiv people. Mean and standard deviation statistics were used to answer research questions while Chi-Square was used for testing the hypotheses formulated at 0.05 level of significance. It was discovered that the Tiv traditional religion has contributed to the technological development of the Tiv society. The study recommended that stakeholders such as Ator á Tiv (Tiv Council of Chiefs or Tiv Traditional Council), Mdzough ú Tiv (Tiv Mutual Union), Governments, Nongovernmental Organizations, Private Individuals and Potential Practitioners of Tiv Indigenous Religion should encourage the practice of Tiv Traditional Religion among the Tiv people. Hence Tiv Traditional (Indigenous) Religion is intertwined with Tiv Trado-educational and technological practices of the Tiv in which blacksmithing constitutes a cardinal aspect of it, the Tiv Religion should be encouraged as it is as good as encouraging the technology.

Cultural Imperatives of Prosocial Behaviour: A Redefinition of Volunteerism in Nigeria

Abstract: Volunteerism has been widely defined as a long-term, planned pro-social behavior that benefits strangers, and which occur within an organizational setting (e.g, Penner, 2002). This definition seems to divorce volunteering from by-stander intervention in an emergency situation, which does involve helping strangers. The present paper contends that this definition of volunteerism does not consider cultural imperatives. For example, the paper argues that the indigenous help practices attendant in a collectivist society such as Nigeria do not always locate strangers, and could fellow up help efforts from an emergency to a long-standing non-emergency end. The paper, therefore, posits that any meaningful research and discussion on volunteerism in Nigeria should give credence to cultural foundations of prosocial behaviour such as kinship and in-group empathy. This, hopefully, will improve the possibilities of crime control, terrorism reduction and poverty alleviation.

Abstract: How to effectively identifying opinion leaders has become a hot research point. It’s essence is to identify the nodes with the strong influence in social network. This paper analyzes the behaviors of users in social networks and proposes the impact evaluation algorithm based on multi-angle user behaviors which is User-Activity Rank algorithm. The algorithm uses the basic idea of PageRank algorithm, considers user’s creativity, interactivity and content quality and designs the uneven distribution mechanism between the users’ UA Rank value, making the computation nodes more accurate. This paper uses Car Home Forum Case for analysis and finds that this algorithm can be more accurate and objective. User-Activity Rank algorithm can help companies improve the accuracy of identifying opinion leaders and promote network marketing with their influence.

Abstract: Since the open door policy declared in the late 1970s, the economic growth of China has been rapidly developed and accumulated. However, the widening regional economic development disparity has been brought to the concern by the government. It is doubtful that the regional economic growth would tend to be equivalent by spillover effects from some more-developed regions to other less-developed ones. The goal of this paper is to examine the long-run relationship of Chinese provincial economic performance with the consideration of the characteristic of cross-sectional dependence in the panel data covering 30 provinces in China over the period 1990-2012. We find a strong spatial dependence over in China’s regional production function. After a cointegrating relation is confirmed using the methodology of Kao (1999) and Pedroni (1999), a spatial error correction model is further applied. We find the local cointegration term is significantly negative, suggesting a long-run convergence relation for the Chinese regional economic growth.

Abstract: There is a “digital divide” which is a gap in the information technology usage in different regions and between different groups and individuals. With the rapid development of information technology, digital divide gradually spread not only from the usage and access of information technology but also to the information knowledge and the new changes from the first level to the third level. However, it’s not just limited to this, but after the emergence of “Internet+” having been integrated into our social life, the digital divide has affected people’s learning habits and lifestyle, and even changed the individual hierarchical status in the society. Taiwan has promoted a series of initiatives to reduce the gap in the digital divide, and we have achieved several goals, especially with the distance learning companions together with the more humanism concern approach. This article tries to analyze the new change in digital divide from the information technological background, and from the perspective of social stratification theoretical analysis on digital divide and exploring how to care for the vulnerable. Besides, having recognized as “The project of distance learning companions” through caring for the weak and vulnerable in the society try to reduce the gap in digital divide more effectively.

In the survey, objects (20-55 years old, average 28±0.7years old) include individuals in public exercise group (n=520) who totally consume 1200-4000 yuan a month and in high-earning group(n=97) who totally consume more than 4000 yuan a month. The propotion of those who will consume exercise meals is more than 76%(468/617), among them, three hundred and eighty-six respondents are from public fitness group, occupying 82.4%(386/468); Eighty-two respondents are in the high-earning group, accounting for 17.6% (82/468). Of the health and fitness-related participants, 69.8%(327/468) of objects are identified as female. The ratio of People who like the health fitness catering service are significant difference between high-earning group and public fitness group (p<0.05). Public fitness group and high-consume group think highly important of healthy exercise diet. While the high-consume group have a higher demand of private customized health fitness catering service ,with there is market gap in this field, a third party which provide healthy diet should be set to reach public healthy demands. When considering about what it should do, we set five more questions to finish the customer psychology research. It is about their thought about the food itself, the source of food, the location of company, the way receiving services and (what) the place company can be. The feedback shows not only the views of healthy diet, but also public customer psychology.

Abstract: Since the fifth population census, the number of Chinese Korean population has declined for more than 10 years.And the number of Chinese Korean at their main settelments in northeast of China has declined for more than 20 years.The main reason for the phenomenon of Chinese Korean population`s negative growth is migration.Domestic migration leads to the decline of Chinese Korean population in northeast of China, and cross-border migration gives rise to the negative growth of Chinese Koreans allover of China. Chinese Korean migration affected the economic and society of their settelments. Many Chinese Koreans went to the coastal cities of China after the reform and open-up policy, and the number of Chinese Korean women who married with Koreans is increasing. The data sources of this paper are population census data and a survey concerning the migrated population conducted in minority areas in 2012 by ChineseNational Population and Family Planning Commission.We analyze the risk factors through descriptive statistical analysis and Logistic regressions. The results suggest that the risk of female migration is higher than male; the main migrants focus on the ages of 31-50;the migration tendency of single people is greater than people have married; Migration tendency increase with educational degree;population with medium educational degree prefer cross-border migration, and people with high educational degree prefer migration in domestic;migration tendency of people with agriculture household is higher than non-agriculture.
