Abstract: Performance appraisal is an important management practice that is conducted to assess skill-set, ability and commitment level of employees in any organization. Employees of tertiary institutions both academic and administrative like other employees in the public sector expect to be appraised and not to be evaluated. Over the last three decades, the effectiveness of performance appraisal (EPA) literature has grown, notably entailing empirical evidence about its measurement criteria. But little evidence exists on the reliability, validity, problems and effectiveness of performance appraisal on employee performance at the university. The study aims to fill this gap by focusing on the reliability, validity, problems and effectiveness of performance appraisal on employee performance at the Kumasi Technical University. The researcher adopted a descriptive study that is explanatory in nature. The total population.....

Abstract: Les Forces Démocratiques Alliées (ADF)1 sont un groupe de guérilleros qui opère dans la région frontière du Ruwenzori2 depuis 1995. Les ADF sont accusés d‟être responsables des massacres qui ont coûté la vie à plus de 3000 civils à partir de décembre 2013. Ainsi, ilse développe un débat houleux qui alimente la scène politique congolaise, le milieu scientifique et même les médias faisant croire que les ADF ne communiquent pas ; qu‟ils opèrent silencieusement. Cette étude a consulté une base abondante des communications en formes diversifiées provenant des ADF. Comme dans toute guerre asymétrique3, leurs outils de propagande4 sont constitués dans une logique d‟endoctrinement qui est une action exercée sur l‟opinion pour l‟amener à comprendre ses idées politico-religieuses......

Abstract: The manifestation of People's Sovereignty based on democracy led by solemn wisdom in representative deliberations, it is necessary to have a people's representative institution that can absorb and fight for the aspirations of the people to achieve national goals for the interests of the nation and the Republic of Indonesia optimally. For this purpose, a supervisory institution that is credible, honest, brave, and has the spirit of knights and statesmen is required. Supervision is intended as a means of governance that is formulated both philosophically and in the normative formulation so that the administration of government runs and achieves the stated goals. One of the characteristics of a modern (classical) state is the existence of supervision, in addition to the distribution of power and protection and a guarantee of human rights. Article 20A of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia (the result) of the second amendment states that the House of Representatives has a legislative function, a budget function, and a supervisory function.

This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach with triangulation data collection techniques, with informants consisting of managers, supervisors, facilitators, and program beneficiaries. With the data validity test technique and Mile & Huberman analysis model, the results of the study show that the Sumbawa Regency SLRT, which was initiated in 2017, is now able to provide services in accordance with the Implementation Guidelines issued by the Ministry of Social Affairs. Officers have been able to verify and validate poverty......

Abstract: This article argues the need for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, at integrating economic, social and environmental geospatial datasets into measuring, monitoring and evaluation of the sustainable development goals (SDGs).The SDGs cover social and economic development issues including poverty, hunger, health, education, global warming, gender equality, water, sanitation, energy, urbanisation, environment, and social justice. Monitoring progress in the Sustainable Development Goals is a fundamental component of the post-2015 United Nations. Thus in order to make the "data revolution" truly revolutionary, it must be accompanied by a "presentation revolution" this paper reviews the impact of Geospatial Information on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Agenda......

Abstract: The major objective of this paper is to discuss contemporary slave narratives, also known as neo-slave narratives practiced by African American writers for the last fifty years. The institution of slavery in the United States was a site of unimaginable physical, emotional and spiritual cruelty, and was justified by racism. So neo-slave narratives question the issues of race, social justice and freedom and include such narratives that have set during and after the slavery in the United States from the founding of the United States to the present day. For example, Morrison's Beloved and A Mercy fall under this category.

Abstract: Deen Dayal Upadhyaya's thinking essentially fills the gaps in multi-dimensional attempts to visualize the future of India especially post-independence. It is a genuine home-grown philosophy which can be a guiding light to the indigenous problems and can be equally applied to foreign land with certain amendments. His integral humanism presents before us well organized body of philosophy which is inspired by ancient knowledge traditions of our culture. Through rigorous dialogues, discussions, debate and discourse a fundamental thinking is developed with the contemporary relevance based on the traditional foundation. The present paper is a diminutive attempt to focus on the life of a significant political as well as philosophical personality so that his work is out there in public to be able to benefit a larger section of the society. Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya fondly called as 'Deena.......
