Federalism and Political stability are two concepts that are of significance to all modern societies. Federalism promotes pluralism and dispersal of power which is good for a multi-ethnic society like Nigeria. But in Nigeria, the practice has generated unending tensions among the individuals, communities and ethnic groups within it. However, this study argues that healthy federalism is a political panacea for ethnic violence, governance crisis and political instability in Nigeria. This study empirically examined the relationship between federalism and political stability in Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive and casual research design as well as the survey method. In the investigation, a total of 428 respondents were sampled using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson product-moment correlation and linear regression analysis. Findings revealed that federalism has a positive and significant relationship with political stability in Nigeria at (R = .732, R2 = 614 at p = 0.000). The statistical result shows that there is a strong relationship between federalism and political stability in Nigeria and that federalism accounts for 61.4% of variations in political stability in Nigeria. Requisite conclusions and recommendations were provided in the light of empirical and theoretical findings.

The economic development of a region aims to obtain high economic growth, which can encourage an increase in the income per capita of the population followed by an increase in human development. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of economic growth on human development performance in Maluku Province during the Covid-19 pandemic period. The research uses a quantitative approach with descriptive and inferential analysis methods. Simple linear regression analysis technique was applied to determine the relationship between HDI and economic growth and mapped it on a quadrant map. The findings obtained illustrate that the HDI growth in Maluku in 2020 slowed to 0.06 percent, while economic growth contracted to 0.92 percent. There are no districts/cities whose HDI and economic growth are lower than the Maluku Province figure. Around 81 percent of districts/cities are mapped in Quadrant II (lower HDI and higher economic growth than the Maluku figure). The estimation results of the regression equation confirm a very strong relationship. The results of the study indicate that the Covid-19 pandemic has an impact on the slowdown in the HDI growth of Maluku Province in 2020.

Background: It is currently believed that protein folding rates are influenced by protein structure, environment and temperature, amino acid sequence and so on. We have been working for long to determine whether and in what ways mRNA affects the protein folding rate. A large number of palindromes aroused our attention in our previous research. Whether these palindromes do have important influences on protein folding rates and what’s the mechanism? Very few related studies are focused on these problems. Objective: In this article, our motivation is to find out if palindromes have important influences on protein folding rates and what’s the mechanism. Method: In this article, the parameters of the palindromes were defined and calculated, the linear regression analysis between the values of each parameter and the experimental protein folding rates were done. Furthermore, to compare the results of different kinds of proteins, proteins were classified into the two-state proteins and the multi-state proteins. For the two kinds of proteins, the above linear regression analysis were performed respectively. Results : Protein folding rates were negatively correlated to the palindrome frequencies for all proteins. An extremely significant negative linear correlation appeared in the relationship between palindrome densities and protein folding rates. And the repeatedly used bases by different palindromes simultaneously have an important effect on the relationship between palindrome density and protein folding rate. Conclusion: The palindromes have important influences on protein folding rates, and the repeatedly used bases in different palindromes simultaneously play a key role in influencing the protein folding rates.
