Keywords: Ecocriticisms, Literature, and the Fourth Industrial RevolutionsItem Evaluation of Women Islamic Education in the Fourth Industrial Revolution(The International Journal of Contemporary Research in Humanities (INJOCORH), 2023) Dauda Adesina ADESOPE; Aminat Olanike SOLIUIn recent time, women play important roles in virtually all fields of human endeavour such as politics, economy, religion, education, industrial relations and so on. Most specifically, the position of women to harness the fourth industrial revolution to foster the expected growth and development in the societies is sacrosanct. But Islamic religion prescribes a modus operandi which its followers should emulate at every stage of existence. On this premise, this paper evaluates the potential of women in Islamic education vis-à-vis the exigency of the fourth industrial revolution. Eleven fundamental and categorical statements from the holy Quran on women operations were interrogated as data. The principle of functional systemic analysis is applied to the said data. The findings show that women are restricted in a way, notwithstanding the global developmental exponentiality of the 4.0, they are to always take instructions from the men, they are less expected to make use of any kind of the 4.0’s technologies, etc. The paper concluded that for industrial revolution to witness more and more unmeasurable progress, teachers of women’s Islamic education should be efficiently charged to functions so as to bridge the gap between industrial revolution, 4.0 and the Islamic stand on women’s functionality.

With the current changes in technology, the mode of operation of construction industry has been changed. The efforts put in place in meeting the demand for the products of construction industry particularly building has revealed the extent at which the construction of building has adapted to technological changes brought about by industrial revolution. All the construction processes of building are no longer with stress, but at ease with the use of machines and other means of intelligent networking and the use of managerial policy in order to improve the quality of the building. This paper aims at assessing the evolution of industrial revolution, its impact on building production management and challenges confronting the evolution. The paper adopted literature review and finds that, though, introduction of industrial related technology in management of building production harnesses effective use of resources and improved the quality of building produced in terms of cost, time and workmanship, there are some challenges slowing down the full processes in building production. The paper concludes that all construction stakeholders should implement industrial revolution techniques, system and application so as to drive production system of the industry to match with the other industries by improving education and training so as to meet up with the demand of modern technologies.

In a university system, non-academic staff’s roles in administrative activities cannot be overstated. However, non- academic staff appear to be underperforming in the Nigerian university system, particularly at private universities. The emanating multiplier effects of this include: poor resource management, poor coordination of activities, underachieving university goals, and so on. This paper aims at critically reviewing existing literature on job performance, Employee Job Performance in the University System, Human Resource Management (HRM), Human Resource Management Practices (HRMP), Attracting, Selecting and Retention of Competent Personnel, Career Development, and Training and Development as they relate to human resource management practices on the job performance of non- academic staff at private universities. The study, therefore, recommended that non-academic staff in private universities should be motivated to maintain high job performance. Also, private universities owners or boards of council should ensure adequate human resource management practices in order to improve the job performance of non-academic staff in the institutions.

The use of social media platforms for religious activities sustained the interaction between the church and members. This paper analyzes the impact of social media on the lived religious practices of Dominion House International congregants. As a result, their online engagements and participation are the central themes. This will feature Online/Electronic-church activities such as online devotion, bible teaching, and online evangelism. The aim of the paper is to explain how these online platforms influence adherents’ religious practices and their lived experiences. The Dominion House International church social media platforms, especially, Telegram, WhatsApp, and Zoom were used for content analysis, while literature review corroborated the findings of the study. The result provides information on how the lived experiences of the adherents are strengthened through content shared on social media which either strengthens or reduces their level of religiosity.

MALOMO, DMin; Adebayo Ola AFOLARANMI, PhDEvangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) as a faith-based organization has frowned at its members, especially its employees to take an active part in politics, which itself is a science and an art of governance. However, the concept of Jesus Christ on politics as shown in Matthew 22:15-22 stands against this organization’s stance. This paper aims at reconsidering this concept in Matthew 22:15-22 and its implication on the organization. The paper reviews the general biblical concept of politics with a brief exegetical analysis of Matthew 22:15-22. A brief history of the organization is given and some indications from the organization’s constitution in relation to members of the organization’s participation in politics are enumerated. The paper concludes with the implication of the concept of Jesus Christ on politics for the organization and recommends, among others, that the organization should encourage its members and employees to be actively involved in partisan politics through the amendment of the organization’s constitution.

The 4IR presents a number of implications for skills development and general education. This paper looked into Religious Education in the 4IR to determine the challenges and opportunities in the Nigerian context. The research employed a qualitative approach using unobtrusive research techniques which include documentary and conceptual analysis for authoritative sources to conceptualise and contextualise the 4IR and religious education in Nigeria. The findings of the study showed technological infrastructure, digital divide, content localization, quality control and misinformation, balancing traditional and technological approaches, preservation of cultural and religious heritage, ethical considerations and teacher training and professional development are common challenges of 4IR in Nigerian context. The study therefore recommends that government should invest in the development of infrastructure and human, technical, and financial capacity to develop the education system to participate in the 4IR as several opportunities were open religious education.

Women’s roles in many aspects of life are being re-examined. Gender issues have succeeded to a larger extent in creating awareness of the oppression of women. It has helped to check a great degree of these oppressions. As a literary theory, feminism is contributing its quota in shaping knowledge about women and gender roles cross culturally. This work adopted Threefold pattern theory of gender because women have proven beyond reasonable doubt that they are not inferior to men but help mate and should treat equally with men. The work did not limit to biblical achievement the women made both in the Old and New Testament but equally discussed what women have achieved in this 21st century in various field of lives such as education, economics, politics and in religious matters the work concludes that women should give more opportunity to use their God giving talents and recommends that in this era of industrial revolutions women should allow to be fully participated in all aspect of lives that can bring progress and development to the world at large.

A number of scholars have argued that religion played a crucial role in the political truce that ushered in the democratic government of former President Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999. This paper analyzes the extent to which Pentecostalism became instrumental to the political and economic development of Nigeria. Pentecostalism became more involved in politics, establishing itself as a crucial force in political decision-making at the national level. Relative Deprivation theory is used to explain the popularity of the Pentecostal movement and reason for their involvement in the Nigerian politics. The paper also uses descriptive analysis to identify the role of Pentecostalism in the political development of Nigeria between 1999 and 2015. The democratization of the media in addition to the wealth and size of Pentecostal churches encouraged the growth of Pentecostalism, but also heightened religious tensions in Nigeria. Many Nigerians have turned to the new faith in an attempt to access its perceived spiritual, social, economic, and political rewards. The permutation of the theocratic class that by gaining political power to stop the killings of Christians in the northern part of the country has failed to achieve the solution to peacebuilding.

D; Abiodun ADEBAYO; Emmanuel O. OLAGUNDOYE; Kehinde AYANLEKEThe relationship between the church and science is a widely debated issue over the years. One of the major teachings of the church is that faith and science are not contradictory to each other and that science came out of theological cosmology and even works well together, in spite of the conflict model of science and religion. The last four years 2019 – 2023 have been particularly significant in revealing the close relationship between Religion and Science. The entire human race experienced the global covid 19 pandemic and national or international lockdown that resulted from it, with the antecedent shift to digital ways of living, working and worship. Much scholastic works have been done on the indebt relationship between Christianity and Science, the trajectory of which involves the beauty and the ugly. However, the engagement and interface between Christian faith and science in Nigeria requires a closer attention, understanding and engagement, particularly now that the world has advanced into the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). The paper adopted the hermeneutic and historical methods premised on Draper and White’s “conflict thesis” as theoretical framework which is the series of myths the duo spread about science and religion as irreconcilable enemies. This paper reveals that science and faith are intertwine complex social and cultural endeavours with fundamentally separate forms of knowledge on different aspects of life, therefore it encourages the Church to leverage on the opportunities provided by the current Industrial Revolution and improve on the interconnectivity in addressing the contemporary social challenges rather than being antagonistic as it were in the case of Galileo an Italian Christian and scientist found guilty of heresy and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1633 by the Roman Catholic Inquisition after confirming the veracity of heliocentric theory of Corpernicus and reporting the telescopic observations of the mountains on the moon, the moons of Jupiter, the phases of Venus, and the rings of Saturn.

However, though several studies have analysed Apostle Paul's readership style, the relational leadership model that Paul exhibits in Timothy is, in most cases, missing. The Apostle Paul’s mentorial-relational leadership with Timothy, his young disciple, protégé, partner in ministry, and adopted son in the faith, is an exemplary model of Biblical leadership and discipleship model, one that is worthy of significant influence in the training and development of church leaders today. In this work, the authors consider the best global practices in mentor-mentee interaction and how this can affect both the leader and the follower. The relevance of the Paul-Timothy mentorship model to the Church and how this can cause church ministry expansion using leader-follower intimacy is the crux of this paper. The paper highlights and concludes with a discussion of critical issues that church administrators responsible for establishing mentorship relationships should consider to maximise the experience of mentoring for all stakeholders. Among others, this work recommends that church leaders should apply the Paul-Timothy relationship as a style of continuity in the ministry.

How are religious leaders, religious organizations, and religious adherents responding to this change? What are the roles of religious leaders, religious organizations, and religious adherents in the transformation? What are the challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to the practice of religion? The aim of this study is to attempt to answer these questions by critically reviewing some recent literature on the interplay between the Fourth Industrial Revolution and religion. The study concludes with some recommendations to religious leaders, religious organizations, and religious adherents on how to practice religion in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and preparation for future industrial revolutions.

Issues of womanhood and the place of the African woman in a rapidly changing world have occupied a firm position on the Nigerian stage. This paper is a study of the works and ideological framework of two notable Nigerian playwrights – Wale Ogunyemi and Irene Agunloye in the context of renegotiating the womanhood question in Nigeria’s contemporary socio-political and economic life. The study is a critical overview of the plays – Emotan by Irene Agunloye and Queen Amina by Wale Ogunyemi with the objective of exploring and bringing out the context from which the plays approach the subject of feminism and gender issues. This comparative study addresses the highly contestable cultural construct of Africa in the global feminine quest to rewrite and consequently realign the stereotypical images of women in Africa. It concludes that Africa’s path in the feminist agenda is dichotomous to the mainstream feminist movement of the West as women in Africa urgently seek a fair representation in its leadership. For this to happen, the African woman needs to go to the past and seek inspiration from her legendary folks who courageously stepped up and changed the course of history and their society.

It involves the use of cosmetics and other materials to help transform an actor into the character he or she is meant to play. Simply put, it interprets the role of a character alongside costume. Special Effects Make-up is one of the four types of theatre make-up. This aspect is one which requires special training and skillfulness. Make-up is taught alongside costume design but does not receive much attention in schools. As a result, students who choose to be make-up artists do not have adequate information and experience in the field. Some of the problems faced by special effects make-up artists include short time-frame, unavailability of materials, poor lighting and environmental factors. This research work is limited to the analytical breakdown of the six selected films, drawing out the special effects make-up deployed in them, although references will be made to other films when and where necessary. This study serves as a resource text for researchers and scholars interested in Nollywood, especially in the area of makeup. It also hopes to fill the lapse in the application and development of special effects make-up in Nollywood. This research employs the qualitative method of research using analysis of related literature such as text books, journals, online materials, articles, and six selected films were consulted to obtain relevant information. The films are Maami, October 1, Figurine, Igodo, Koto Orun, and The Meeting. They were all monitored on DVDs. The Symbolism theory will be used to define the viewpoint of this study. Findings made during this research include lack of skill and professional training, unavailability of materials, blending, environmental factors, short time-frame and insufficient academic training.

Johnson & Will Merick’s Missing(The International Journal of Contemporary Research in Humanities (INJOCORH), 2023) Monsuru Oladotun OLAJIDE; Samson O. EBE; Adebayo J. BADEJIA film contains images that are projected on the screen to generate chimera of movements. It is a visual story-telling type of entertainment which can also serve as a tool of edification. Film is also used to probe vital social issues. It is deployed to make the audience take note of a development, learn about a new culture, and experience dissimilar perspectives on a given subject matter. Genre of films include; historical, science-fiction, comedy, drama, thriller, drama, adventure, crime, gangster, horror, western and musical. The genus of film that brings controversial discourse to the consciousness of its audience is referred to as advocacy film. Advocacy film also allows its audience to examine issues from different perspectives. Existing studies on films with advocacy are mostly documentary films. However, scant attention has been paid to advocacy feature-length films. Guided by Emerson Kim’s Media Advocacy Theory, this study investigates how the Fourth Industrial Revolution agenda were established in Aneesh Chaganty’s film; Searching and Nicholas D. Johnson & Will Merick’s film; Missing. The study concludes that film is not entertainment only; it could also serve as a means to display/situate social, political, cultural, economic and technological discourses in the age of industry 4.0.

The study is guided by resource-based and operating cycle theories. The population includes all 1108 staff members of SMEs in the selected three senatorial districts in Ibadan, and a sample size of 287 was determined using the Taro Yamane Formula. Results are presented through tables featuring percentages, frequency count, mean, and standard deviation. Hypotheses are tested via linear regressions at a 0.05 significance level. The analysis indicates a notable link between working capital management efficiency and SME profitability (F = 61.758, p < 0.001). Additionally, cash management significantly affects profitability (F = 136.182, p < 0.001), while accounts receivable's impact on return on investment is also significant (F = 4.361, p < 0.003). Moreover, inventory management significantly influences customer satisfaction (F = 56.988, p < 0.001). The study affirmed that proficient management of working capital significantly influences SME financial performance. Strong evidence links working capital efficiency, cash, accounts receivable, and inventory management to profitability and customer satisfaction. Significant p-values underscore the importance of these factors. It was recommended that SMEs improve working capital management through robust account management and inventory control.

Generic Structure Potential (GSP), a perspective developed by Halliday and Hassan (1989) accounts for the thematic activities of such institutions. GSP is a contextual analysis that discusses the components of texts and sequence of discourse in interactions. Extant studies on thematic activities of institutions have focused on GSP of the essays, newspaper entries, editorials, shop interactions, classroom interactions and wedding proceedings. These works serve as the basis for proposing generic prototypical patterns and generic classifications of discursive events. Adjudicatory proceedings involve issues related to children in the Nigerian context. The contextual study of the prototypical pattern of adjudicatory proceedings from GSP’s perspective which sparsely exists in literature is the gap this paper aims to fill. This study employs three selected juvenile courts in South-West Nigeria to explore the contextual situation and interactional structure of the proceedings. This paper is able to predict the nature of adjudicatory proceedings, present obligatory structural elements as based on mutual assumption and demonstrate mitigation against politic behaviour through clarification utterances. The study contributes to a better understanding of juvenile court proceedings and provides insights into the delivery of justice to children.
