A Brief Discussion on the Philosophy - Psychology Linkage | Chapter 4 | New Horizons in Education and Social Studies Vol. 7

Two questions about the subject are explored in the Essay: a. If there is some link between Psychology and Philosophy, and b. What is the essence of this interconnection? Currently, the author replies that there is already such a linkage. In fact, these two disciplines are complementary rather than competitive, like two sides of the same coin. The author examines 3 hypothetical cases to explain these points, analysing the whole individual-organization complex. The Essay outlines the essence and curiosity of Adam and Eve, attributes that inspired them in their quest for wisdom. This action also made them the fore-parents of all the explorers who preceded them, adventurers and researchers. In addition, the author shows how the incorrect use of ideological arguments damages and subdues individuals. Finally, the author supports the adoption of the "Normal Distribution Method" and the "Bell type Curve" as key instruments in social science teaching and research. Promoting interdisciplinary study and analysis, encouraging mind-opening and innovative thinking, while promoting collaboration and cooperation through the use of normal distribution studies. We hope that when philosophers are able to talk to people and psychologists enjoy explaining stars, stronger and more important outcomes can be achieved.

An Overview on Social Housing for Women Heads of Household in Congo Brazzaville | Chapter 3 | New Horizons in Education and Social Studies Vol. 7

 The findings of the general population census of 1974, 1984 and 2007 indicate a remarkable rise in the number of women and girls relative to men and boys. In the Republic of Congo, gender differences are still common, putting women and girls in a less desirable position than men and boys. There are less rights for women and girls, less knowledge, less access to all forms of resources, and more gender-based violence than their male counterparts. There are many single women in the population, divorced and widowed, who are the heads of their own households. Congo's decision-makers and policy partners are only shocked by the persistent urban housing crisis in Congo and the absence of a practical principle for the development of collective social housing. However, in order to permanently eliminate gender discrimination and restore the harm caused to women, how can marginalised female-headed households be housed? From four viewpoints, this article reviews the status of women and the current urban housing situation, including: form and size of household, housing content and surface area per member. The roots of the development of households, whose heads are invariably women, are celibacy, divorce and widowhood. In general, children's education and care for the elderly (senior citizens) are provided by women who have sufficient housing. The study proposes three key forms of social housing for women-headed households, with areas ranging from 25 m2 to 90 m2, on the basis of a literature review of population survey results. Thus, each member of the household profits from 8.50 m2 to 12 m2. The Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of the Congo, the Government of the Congolese Housing Bank (BCH) and the Sino Congolese Bank for Africa (BSCA) have been formed to play an important role in combating poverty and improving the living conditions of citizens.

Advanced Research on Recreating Government: Entrepreneurship and Proverbs in Public Administration | Chapter 2 | New Horizons in Education and Social Studies Vol. 7

 The corruption in the public service of Cameroon is beyond any language to be represented. They use proverbs to express the situation when individuals gasp for speech. Public servants move in and out of their offices. The government would set working hours from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. People set up their own time as they think it's fitting. Half the working population has been found to start working at 9:00 a.m. and to leave workplaces at 2:30 p.m. instead of 3:30 p.m. There is a need for a shift in attitudes at work. Entrepreneurship, although closely related to the business sector, cuts through all walks of life and offers knowledge/skills that can mitigate public administration deficiencies. Proverbs likewise encourage creative thinking. In order to extend awareness and encourage comprehension of problems, our forefathers used them. In order to enhance public policy, information, insight and motivation can be taken from proverbs and entrepreneurship. The purpose of this research is to explore how it is possible to use entrepreneurship and proverbs to enhance public administration. Data was gathered in Cameroon via face-to-face interviews with selected elders and administrators. Data is qualitatively analysed. The study concludes that the poor condition in public administration can be eased by entrepreneurship and proverbs. Goffin and Mitchell[1] need to innovate in order to be competitive, and so do governments. In this essay, entrepreneurship and proverbs are seen as catalysts for educating society and fostering growth. The value of using indigenous expertise in changing society is highlighted. In using their tools to enhance the quality of administration, policy makers have not been vigilant. It is hoped that this document will lead to a shift in mind set.

Study on Curriculum Reform in Cameroon: An Analysis of the New Primary School Curriculum | Chapter 1 | New Horizons in Education and Social Studies Vol. 7

This paper discusses the reformed primary school curriculum in Cameroon that was published for implementation in the school year of 2018/2019. The programme is driven and endorsed by developmental theory through a constructivist educational philosophy. It is not generally organised around priorities, learning experiences, learning experience organisation, and assessment, but rather is organised around seven national skills and four broad-based competences. The programme is planned to be applied across pathway topics and eight interconnected themes of learning. Although the vertical and horizontal variables are used to structure the curriculum components, the data sources are highly skewed to satisfy business requirements, thus compromising relevance. The elements of vertical and horizontal articulation are reasonably balanced, but they have been skewed towards meeting consumer needs in terms of curriculum data sources, thus losing other important areas of knowledge of curriculum content required for holistic growth. The programme is built according to the existing competency curriculum movement structure. The curriculum, which is designed to meet the needs of programme harmonisation in primary schools in Cameroon, will enable all Cameroon children to learn the same curriculum for the first time since independence, contrary to past practises whereby Anglophone and Francophone children have studied various school curricula. A pedagogy of incorporation powers the programme.

A Critical Overview of The Magnetic Field of Earth and Other Celestial Bodies | Chapter 10 | International Research in Environment, Geography and Earth Science Vol. 7

 The majority of terrestrial magnetism models aim to explain why the Earth's main magnetic field at the poles is of the order of 1 Oe. Such a suggestion about the fundamental issue of models of terrestrial magnetism today is unreasonable. Space flights and the development of astronomy show that the magnetic moments of all the planets of the solar system, some of their satellites and a number of stars, are proportional to their angular moments, a remarkable and previously unknown fact. Therefore, these geophysical problems have become a special case of a more general problem of celestial body magnetism. This reality makes it appropriate to reformulate the primary task of the terrestrial magnetism model and the whole of the Earth. It should explain, firstly, why the Earth's magnetic moment, as well as that of other space bodies, is proportional to its angular momentum, and, secondly, why the coefficient of proportionality is similar to the ratio of world constants to         G^1/2/c. This involves rethinking the model of the Earth's internal structure and reformulating the main goals of terrestrial magnetism, while it must be clarified why the ratio of the Earth's magnetic moment to its torque, as well as that of other celestial bodies, is similar to the ratio of the G^1/2/c universal constants. In the theory discussed, it is shown that having its centre made up of dense electron-nuclear plasma with constant density and temperature is energetically favourable for hot stars. It is shown that having the core made of dense electron-ion plasma is energetically advantageous for the Planet. At that point, the measured parameters are in line with the results of the measurement.

Recent Investigation on Hydrogeology of the Basin Granitoids in the Sekyere South District of Ashanti Region, Ghana | Chapter 8 | International Research in Environment, Geography and Earth Science Vol. 7

 Water shortages are faced by communities in the Sekyere South District of the Ashanti Region of Ghana since most of the current water supply systems are predominantly dependent on ephemeral surface water supplies that are fed by rainfall but not distributed uniformly throughout the year. The hydrogeology of the Basin Granitoids has been evaluated using the geophysical technique of electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) and pumping test study in the Sekyere South District of the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The ERI was carried out to obtain information on the distribution of resistivity for groundwater deposition, and the pumping test was used to obtain boreholes' transmissivity and sustainable yields. ERI findings indicate that the general distribution of resistivity in the region is between (20 - 4000) Ω -m and the resistivity range associated with the occurrence of groundwater is between (50 - 300) Ω -m for the weathered rocks and (100 - 600) Ω -m for the fractured granitic rocks. The aquifers are typically shallow to medium depth and high yields are likely to be achieved where the resistivities of the aquifer zones are less than 400 Ω -m in the fresh granites. The pumping test also revealed that transmissivity values range from (5.89 to 43) m2/day, ranging from 50 to 380 m3/day with sustainable yields. These findings indicate that for domestic supplies, boreholes in the region would be sustainable. Transmissivity values obtained suggest that the boreholes in the area can be used for individual homes and small town water supply systems for domestic purposes. The findings from this study could serve as a guide to groundwater exploration and related geology in the region of the Granitoids.
