Management of ODA and it's effects on the attainment of SDG1
This research evaluates the management of Official Development Assistance (ODA) in Nigeria and its effects on the attainment of SDG1. Despite decades of significant ODA inflows aimed at poverty alleviation, Nigeria remains one of the countries with the highest poverty rates globally. This raises important questions about how ODA is negotiated, allocated, implemented, and evaluated within the Nigerian context.Using a mixed-methods approach involving literature reviews, policy analysis, quantitative data, and qualitative interviews, the research highlights systemic inefficiencies and policy misalignments that have significantly limited the impact of ODA on poverty eradication in Nigeria.The study is anchored on Relational Theory and the concept of Sustainable Development.The study seeks to answer three primary questions: How has the quality of ODA negotiation, policy framework development and implementation (including human rights policies) affects the attainment of SDG1 in Nigeria, What are the effects of ODA sectoral allocations on poverty reduction in Nigeria, How do ODA-related tax exemptions affect Nigeria's domestic revenue and its capacity to finance anti-poverty initiatives?
Digital Governance and Public Service Delivery in Advanced Societies
This book integrates two distinct but significant inquiries: the impact of digital governance on public service delivery in advanced societies, and a critical examination of St. Thomas Aquinas' Just War Theory within Christian ethics. The first part compares Sweden and Canada, exploring how digital tools enhance efficiency and citizen engagement through frameworks like New Public Management and Digital Era Governance. Sweden's cohesive digital governance, marked by robust data-sharing and open government, results in integrated services and high citizen trust, whereas Canada faces fragmented initiatives and challenges stemming from legacy systems and inconsistent policies. Qualitative analysis reveals Sweden's systematic approach as more effective, recommending Canada adopt clearer digital priorities, inter-agency collaboration, and improved infrastructure to enhance service delivery. The 2nd part examines Aquinas' Just War Theory, which sets three essential criteria for a just war: legitimate authority, just cause, and right intention. Aquinas argued that only sovereign powers may declare war, wars must address real injustices or aggression, and the ultimate goal should be peace.
Phytochemical Analysis of Dragon Fruit
Dragon fruit, also known as pitaya or Selenicereus, a climbing cactus, is a tropical fruit native to Central America but grown in various parts of the world. It is one of the tropical fruits, belonging to the cactaceae family. There are many varieties of Dragon fruit for commercial cultivation in the state of Telangana They are.1. Selenicereus costaricensis (Red pulp with red skin).2. Selenicereus purpusii (Pink pulp with pink skin).3. Selenicereus undatus (White pulp with pink skin). The Dragon fruit plant has long, vining, and succulent -like stems that can grow up to several meters' length (Balenders and Bengoa 2019). These stems have aerial roots and require support, such as a trellis or study structure, to climb and grow (Pushpakumara et al. 2005). The stems are triangular, approximately 16-19 inches across clinging to tree trunks by many aerials' roots. The leaves tend to droop, which might result in wilting. The plant will be classified on the photosynthesis in the form of C3 and CAM cycle. In CAM Plants stomata are open at night and they absorb carbon di oxide, in night instead of day time.

Fields of Glass
What is the relationship between technology and labour regimes in agrifood value chains? By deploying the concept of agrarian biopolitical articulations, Field of Glass formulates new perspectives that bridge the hitherto distinct worlds of value chain research, agrarian political economy, labour regime theory, and agrarian techno-science to explain the enduring insecurity of food systems in the United Kingdom. Using both historical and contemporary research, Adrian Smith explores how the precarity and exploitation of migrant labour intersects with ecology and techno-science/innovation, such as hydroponic and robotic technologies, to explain the development and changing nature of glasshouse agrifood value chains in the UK. Smith concludes by reflecting on how agrarian bio-politics have shaped the glasshouse agrifood sector and the emergence of contemporary 'high road' and 'low road' strategies, highlighting their contradictions and negative consequences for local development and food supply security.
