-In the context of educational research, the development center has been established to address the challenges posed by the 4.0 era society in the industrial era 5.0. This center is particularly focused on the agricultural community, with a specific emphasis on the provision of side dishes by fishpond farmers in South Sulawesi. The objective is to ensure that the needs of the community are met in a sustainable and effective manner. The Republic of Indonesia has been identified as a consumer society that consumes fish and, in particular, milkfish. The issue that has been identified is a decline in the production of milkfish. The objective of this research is to furnish policymakers with the necessary information and to identify patterns that will facilitate the resolution of the imminent scarcity of milkfish in the coming years. Consequently, a data mining analysis learning technique is required to predict milkfish production and ascertain whether there will be an increase or decrease in production in the future. The objective of this study is to implement a data mining analysis by integrating multiple linear regression methods in the context of milkfish production prediction. The set of variables employed in this study encompasses independent variables, denoted as Xn, comprising feed, fertilizer, and seeds. It is imperative to note that the dependent variable, denoted by Yn, is production. The data presented herein has been obtained through a combination of field observations, library research, and interviews. The research methodology employed in this study involves a systematic data mining analysis of multiple linear regression algorithms. The results indicated that the prediction of milkfish production in 2022 was 5175 tons. The mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) value was determined to be 1.05%. This finding indicates that the prediction value is highly accurate, as evidenced by the coefficient of multiple determination, which is 95.94%. This suggests that the demand for milkfish as a side dish in the coming years is met, underscoring its role as a crucial source of nutrition for the community.

-Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) are critical tools for evaluating the potential environmental, social, and economic consequences of development projects. While EIAs are widely recognized for their importance in promoting sustainable development, their effectiveness in developing countries, particularly in Nigeria, remains a subject of concern. This study assesses the effectiveness of EIAs in developing countries, with a focus on Nigeria, by analyzing the legal and institutional frameworks, the challenges faced in the implementation of EIAs, and the role of public participation in the process. Using a combination of quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with key stakeholders, the research identifies key obstacles to the successful application of EIAs, including weak legal frameworks, insufficient institutional capacity, lack of political will, and limited public engagement. The findings reveal that while EIAs are legally required, their implementation is often hindered by inadequate enforcement, corruption, and a lack of political commitment. Public participation, a critical element of the EIA process, is often minimal, reducing the transparency and legitimacy of the process. Furthermore, the study emphasizes that strengthening legal frameworks, improving institutional capacity, enhancing political accountability, and increasing public participation are essential steps toward improving the effectiveness of EIAs. The study concludes with recommendations for reform, which include improving governance structures, enhancing public awareness, and investing in the capacity building of EIA practitioners. The insights provided aim to guide policy reforms and contribute to the broader goal of sustainable development in developing countries.

-Gas flaring remains a persistent environmental and economic challenge in Nigeria, particularly in oil-producing regions such as the Niger Delta. Despite being endowed with abundant natural gas resources, the country continues to burn significant volumes of associated gas, leading to environmental degradation, economic loss, and inefficiencies in energy management. This study investigates the impact of recent gas flaring regulations—implemented between 2021 and 2025—on Nigeria’s energy sector performance and broader economic implications. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of gas flaring volumes, GDP contributions, power generation data, and foreign direct investment (FDI) statistics with qualitative insights drawn from stakeholder interviews and policy reviews. Key regulatory instruments assessed include the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), the Nigeria Gas Flaring Commercialisation Programme (NGFCP), and the proposed Anti-Gas Flaring Prohibition and Enforcement Bill. Statistical analysis revealed that gas flaring volumes declined by approximately 25% between 2021 and 2024, with a corresponding increase in gas utilization for electricity generation and modest improvements in oil and gas GDP contributions. However, enforcement inconsistencies, infrastructure deficits, and regulatory corruption were identified as major obstacles to full policy effectiveness. The study concludes that while regulatory frameworks have begun to yield measurable results, the lack of robust enforcement, public accountability, and gas monetization infrastructure continues to limit their full potential. Recommendations include enhancing monitoring systems, enforcing stiffer penalties, investing in flare gas capture technologies, and fostering community participation in flare site oversight. This research contributes to the policy discourse on sustainable energy governance in Nigeria and highlights the need for a more integrated approach to environmental and economic planning.

-This study investigates the challenges and opportunities associated with decentralization and local governance in Nigeria, a country characterized by a federal structure but where local governments face significant barriers to autonomy and effectiveness. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative data collected through surveys and interviews with key stakeholders, including local government officials, civil society representatives, and community leaders. The study identifies key challenges such as political interference, financial dependency on state governments, and lack of skilled personnel as major impediments to effective decentralization. Additionally, it highlights constitutional ambiguities and weak legal frameworks as contributing factors to the limited autonomy of local governments. Despite these challenges, the study reveals several opportunities for enhancing local governance, including legal reforms to guarantee local government autonomy, direct disbursement of federal funds, and improved capacity building. Moreover, the study finds strong support for the role of decentralisation in promoting sustainable development, democratic deepening, and improved service delivery at the local level. Respondents also emphasized the importance of ICT integration and community participation in ensuring efficient governance.

-This study explores the intersection of public sector reforms and the political economy of anti-corruption policies in Nigeria. Despite numerous reform initiatives aimed at promoting transparency, accountability, and efficient service delivery, corruption remains deeply entrenched in the Nigerian public sector. The paper critically examines the design, implementation, and outcomes of key reform programs such as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), and the Treasury Single Account (TSA), highlighting the role of political interests, institutional weaknesses, and elite capture. By situating these reforms within the broader context of Nigeria’s political economy, the study reveals how systemic patronage networks and rent-seeking behaviors undermine genuine anti-corruption efforts. The paper concludes by suggesting that for reforms to be effective, they must be accompanied by strong political will, institutional independence, deliberate structural imposition, and active civic engagement. The findings contribute to ongoing debates on governance reform in developing countries, particularly in contexts where corruption is both a symptom and a mechanism of political control.

-Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as a pivotal strategy in addressing the complex challenges of urban development, particularly in the face of limited public funding and increasing demands for infrastructure and services. This paper critically evaluates the role of PPPs in fostering sustainable urban growth, focusing on their ability to leverage private sector efficiency, innovation, and investment to deliver public goods. Drawing on case studies from diverse urban contexts, the analysis explores how PPPs have been used in sectors such as transportation, housing, and urban regeneration. The study also examines the risks and limitations associated with these partnerships, including issues of transparency, accountability, and social equity. Ultimately, the paper argues that while PPPs offer significant potential to enhance urban development, their success depends on strong regulatory frameworks, balanced risk-sharing, and inclusive planning processes that prioritize long-term public interest.

-Le roman féminin est la voie qui permet à toute écrivaine de s’échapper d’une réalité injuste, voir même abjecte. Il est aussi la voix de toutes les femmes dont le but ultime est de contribuer à la transformation et la réinvention d’une société où elle est « maître » de son destin, libre de choisir et de renoncer à ce que bon lui semble, et où elle est l’égale de l’homme, tout simplement. C’est à travers l’écriture que la femme s’offre une porte de sortie pour esthétiser, à travers ses cris viscéraux et ses dénonciations crues, une réalité schizophrène, afin de conjurer le sort d’être prise au piège et d’être au bord du désespoir

-Patient experience is a key measure of healthcare quality, impacting hospital efficiency, retention, and trust. Public hospitals in the Philippines face overcrowding, limited resources, and financial challenges that affect patient experiences. Studies often focus on private healthcare, leaving limited insight into public outpatient departments, particularly regarding how demographic factors influence satisfaction. This study aimed to determine whether significant differences exist in the experiences of outpatient clients in public medical hospitals based on demographic factors. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected through surveys from 399 outpatient clients, and statistical tests identified significant predictors of patient satisfaction. The findings revealed significant differences based on quality of care perceptions, including service availed, economic status, and visit frequency. Views on facilities differ according to economic status and visit frequency. Staff attitude and waiting time perceptions also vary based on visit frequency, while cost perceptions differ by service utilization and visit frequency. These findings recommend improving service quality through staff training, upgrading facilities, streamlining appointment systems, and providing financial aid to address disparities and enhance patient experiences.
