homes in their country for one reason or the other. This issue has assumed a significant dimension of great concern all over the world with the African sub-region being the highest victim. Internally Displaced Persons face grave dangers in their home countries as they are vulnerable economically, psychologically socially, religiously and even politically. Apart from the pronounced refugees, they constitute a major group of the vulnerable persons. They could be referred to as “refugees” in their home country. The only difference between them and the refugees is that they are still within the geographical circumference of their nationality. Economically, their means of livelihood is cut off either as farmers, fishermen, or petty traders, or artisans; psychologically and socially, they are not in good frame of mind and have lost their natural homestead and habitation, cut off from their traditional and cultural environment, distanced from their gods and deities and therefore cannot worship their gods; from the political point of view, their civil rights and obligations are even denied sometimes may be not deliberately but because of the circumstances of relocation to areas where it may not be convenient for them to exercise such rights.

Background: Occupational safety and health is concerned with protecting the health, safety and welfare of people engaged in work or employment. It is a duty of every employer to ensure that all its employees remain safe at all times in order to boast its production activities. Objective: The study assessed the supply, use of personal protective equipment and factors that may affect its usage. Methods: The study is a descriptive cross-sectional study. There were 250 respondents from registered medium scale manufacturing industries in Anambra State. The sample was selected using a multistage sampling technique. The number of respondents from each factory was allocated proportionately according to size of the individual factors. Data was collected from October 2013 to May 2014. A pretested interviewer administered question was used. Analysis was done using statistical packages for social sciences version 20. Level of significance was set at 5%. Result: The supply of personal protective equipment was low as only hand gloves was always supplied (100%) while face mask and ear plug was never supplied. Use of personal protective equipment was assessed as never used, sometimes used or always used. More respondents have never used most of the personal protective equipment as 83.2%, 21%, 70.7%, 77%, 77.7%, 79.9%, 73.2% have never used helmets, hand gloves, goggles, safety boots, face marks, ear plug and apron respectively. The workers reported inadequate knowledge of use of personal protective equipment (42.4%) and unavailability of equipment as the major reason for poor use of personal protective equipment. Conclusion: The poor use of personal protective equipment, result from poor knowledge of its applicability and lack of the personal protective equipment. Recommendation: Government and relevant agencies should set up laws and enforce the supply of personal protective equipment by management of factories. Factories should employ a factory inspector who will enforce the compulsory use and also educate employees on the use and benefits of usage.

Rancidity of several anti-psoriatic drugs of AYUSH (Ayurveda & Siddha) were studied and the ill effects of acid value was established by free radical scavenging assay, nitric oxide inhibition, anti-glycation, anti-angiogenesis and fibroblast toxicity. Our findings clearly show that rancidity not only produced severe side effects but also modified the therapeutic constituents from herbal source thus making the Ayush preparations more harmful to the psoriatic patients than as remedial. Several anti-psoriatic oils were compared with Dr. JRK’s 777 oil and Psorolin oil. Findings clearly show that the Dr. JRK’s 777 oil and Psorolin oil is the best, safe and effective drug for psoriasis than many other Ayush oils available in the market.

Interior Design (ID) development and growth is being appreciated by many people today than it was in the past. This paper discusses the findings of a study that sought to investigate the training needs of the Kenyan Interior Design Diploma Graduates (KIDDGs). Employing a descriptive survey research design, the study was conducted in Nairobi County, Kenya. The target population was KIDDGs who graduated within the last ten years and were practicing in the Interior Design Industry. Snowball sampling was used to select 120 KIDDGs. Self-administered questionnaires, interviews, and observation were the methods of data collection. Data was coded according to emerging patterns, analyzed using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS version 25) and presented using tables and histograms as well as written reports. This paper demonstrates that most of the KIDDGs reported of their inability to positively perform in areas such as analyzing their clients’ needs, goals, and life and safety requirements, inadequacy in the formulation of the preliminary design concepts, and lack of knowledge to collaborate with other licensed design practitioners in the technical areas. This forces them to retrain on areas such as lighting and lighting designs, visual language of design and properties of colour and colour psychology for them to be effective in the IDI. Other training needs are working out costs, preparing estimates and how to advise client on the use of fittings, furniture, fabrics, and wall and floor coverings. The paper recommends that to address this dire scenario, the government and the public technical institutions need to expand the contribution of interior design to society through the exchange and development of knowledge and experience in education and practice. In addition, Institutions offering ID Programs need to equip their computer labs and workshops with essential modern equipment, sufficient and effective training personnel and provision of adequate supplier of instructional materials. Technical institutions should focus on education that gives designers access to internships and regular industrial visits to interact with other designers with real-world experience.

The focus of this paper is on fiscal federalism and its effects on national integration in Nigeria. The paper was aimed at explaining the nature of fiscal federalism in Nigeria and the relationship between fiscal federalism and national integration. The theoretical framework for the paper was the Public Goods Theory. The historical/descriptive analytical approach was the method of the study which relied largely on secondary sources of data collection, such as journals, textbooks, internet and newspapers. The recommendation of the paper among others is that the lasting solution to the problems confronting Nigeria‟s fiscal federalism lies in the readjustment of the tax revenue sharing power of the federation in an equitable manner among the component units which currently angle in favour of the federal government. Conclusively, the paper states that a united country and people are in a better position to ably confront its crises of development, nationhood and stability if there is truly fiscal federalism. National integration is a serious and purposeful endeavour, the failure of which has grave consequences to any nation.

It is believed that Michel Foucault‟s Madness and Civilization explores the history of madness and the relationship between reason and unreason. In his book, the unreason or madness can‟t be defined clearly. He thinks people have different cognitions and attitudes to madness in different periods of civilization. The relationship between reason and unreason changes over time. They are not opposed at the beginning instead they impact each other in life and work. In English novels, there are many descriptions of madwomen. Jean Rhys‟ Wide Sargasso Sea is the prelude of Charlotte Bronte‟s Jean Eyre. “The mad woman in the attic” in Jane Eyre is Antoinette in Wide Sargasso Sea. There are many reasons for the madness of Antoinette. What caused her madness can be interpreted well with Foucault‟s madness theory. This paper tries to prove that Antoinette‟s madness is the tragedy of racialism and colonialism and give suggestions to the construction of unreason in the human civilization.

Metaphor, as a common linguistic phenomenon, has been the focus for most linguists. In recent decades, as metaphor highly concentrated on the political discourse development, more and more linguists have begun to emphasize on metaphorical use in politics. However, scholars pay less attention to Chinese political discourse metaphors. Critical metaphor analysis is a new metaphor research method proposed by Charteris-Black in 2004 with the intention to reveal the hidden ideology, attitude and beliefs concealed in discourses. The paper attempts to conduct Critical Metaphor Analysis approach to the analysis of Chinese Government Work Report. With collecting the data of Chinese Government Work Report in 2018 from official website, the paper aims to analyze its potential metaphorical functions and reveal the hidden ideology of the Chinese government work report. Meanwhile, the present paper is supposed to provide a new perspective to the theoretical research in the area of CMA. Besides, it is expected that the research will help government promote its political ideology and help the populace understand better the policies of our government.

The relevance of common ground is of utmost significance in the production and interpretation of literary plays, especially, those of African refracted universes. However, much as the contribution is to linguistic scholarship, little has been done in this direction, especially on the plays of Ahmed Yerima. Applying the relevance and common ground principles, therefore, this study sets out to investigate how the principles enhance the production and reader‟s interpretation of Ahmed Yerima‟s perspectives in Ajagunmale, so selected because it is rich in data. We found out that with the notion of relevance and common ground, Yerima effectively selects such lexical items of idioms, personal pronouns, proverbs and wise-sayings in the constructions of utterances of his characters in Ajagunmale, thereby aiding our easy understanding of Ahmed Yerima‟s perspectives in the play. A study of the relevance of common ground therefore significantly enhances our interpretation of the use of language and authorial perspective in the play, and could also be useful if applied to other Ahmed Yerima‟s plays as well as other African refracted universes.
