Glocalization of Yoruba Omoluwabi Ideology

Omoluwabi, a Yoruba concept of the Ideal persona, is well foregrounded in the Ifa corpus, the full meaning and import of which are either lost or taken for granted. Previous studles have examined the concept of Omoluwabi, inves­tigated its possible source(s) or origin, and explored its philosophy. The pres­ent writer has also been privileged, at different forums, to extend the study's frontiers in different directions, including evolving a home-grown theoretical basis for ideologizing the indigenous Yoruba concept. On each occasion, he has come up with additional exciting findings. The present discourse attempts to stretch the horizon of intellection a little further, such that the theoretical basis for interrogating the Yoruba personality using the Omoluwabi concept is guided by revisionist/historicist assumptions since one is dealing with an all-encompassing philosophical hermeneutic that both defines and engages the sociology of life and llving, the prevalent patterned attitude, and values in the indigenous Yoruba society. "Glocalizatlon," in this context, refers to the extent of the local relevance of pmqluwabl and the possibility of its attaining a higher pedestal of global ideological competitiveness. The paper argues that Omoluwabi remains one great ideology in the Yoruba Ifa knowledge systems practice that possesses a capacity for gauging socially approved human rela­tions of global magnitude; there is a plurality of poetics, not just one. The paper succeeds at, among other things, harnessing and streamlining prevlous find­ings of this writer on Omoluwabi with the current ones, with a view to sharing fundamental cultural information on the subject for the purpose of making it globally acceptable and adaptable. The paper concludes that the Omoluwabi ideology is capable of fostering genuine development, and that its relevance to worldviews, core universal values, and principles naturally compels an acknowl­edgment of its profundity, as well as ensures the possibility of its assuming a pedestal of universal philosophical and ideological mediation in an apparently troubled world, albeit not without some soft challenges.

Practical Work of Digital System Course Based on Virtual Laboratory

In this paper, a virtual laboratory is used for digital systems practice courses which are carried out online. The research step begins with designing a virtual laboratory portal with Moodle E-Learning software to provide practice management services. The trial was carried out by running an online collaborative practice by applying the Breadboard simulator and the TeamViewer application. The research subjects were 20 students of the Informatics Engineering study program. The data collection instrument used a student perception questionnaire on the instructional aspect and a student perception questionnaire on the appearance of the learning model and ease of operation. Descriptive analysis was carried out using perception level criteria. The results showed that the virtual laboratory-based Digital System practice learning model had a positive perception of the instructor aspect, the learning model display aspect and ease of operation as well as increasing student motivation in carrying out practical activities

Geographic Information Systems Practice Midwife In Merauke Regency Android-Based Method Using Spherical Law of Cosines

Health is a resource for the daily life of the community. Because without health, a person can not run the activity with the good. To that end, the society can not be separated from the figure of health that play a role in manifesting the life of a healthy society as a midwife. One of the reasons people really need a midwife is the cost of the examination or the cost of labor is affordable. Therefore, it is needed a Geographic Information System Midwife Practice in Merauke Regency Android-Based Method Using Spherical Law of Cosines can help and facilitate user to search, and know the location of the midwife practice and service information available at the place of such practices as well as the closest distance to the user. Geographic Information system Midwife Practice in Merauke Regency Android Based on the design by using Eclipse with the java programming language, and using a MySQL database. The method used to search the nearest distance of the user with the location of the midwife practice using the method of Spherical Law of Cosines, and the method of testing using the method of blackbox and questionnaires. The result of this research is to produce a geographic information system application based on android to handle mapping the location of the midwife practice as well as data information midwife online which is accessible to the public in Merauke Regency.

Influencing information systems practice: The action principles approach applied to robotic process and cognitive automation

The article formalizes an action principles approach for investigating and influencing the adoption of emerging information systems phenomena, particularly for new technologies. It draws upon recent research into robotic process and cognitive automation to demonstrate the concepts and methodology for a further mode of research into practice that is distinguishable from action research and design science. The authors present definitions, research assumptions, and evaluation criteria and provide a six-step process for generating a set of action principles, updatable by new empirical evidence. The process is illustrated by research into 22 automation cases that eventually arrived at 39 action principles for effective deployment of the automation technologies under review. The major objective is to provide guidelines to prospective researchers. A secondary objective is to provide major insights into the management of robotic process and cognitive automation. This provides opportunities for further theorization and research by academics, and more considered action by practitioners. The authors also discuss the value and limitations of the action principles approach, and how the knowledge generated can be disseminated. The article offers a way of doing research on the applied side of information systems that is timely, does justice to the phenomena under investigation, and provides insights for multiple parties.

Building a Prevention System: Infrastructure to Strengthen Health Promotion Outcomes

Prevention systems improve the performance of health promotion interventions. This research describes the establishment of the Australian state government initiative, Healthy Together Victoria’s (HTV) macro infrastructure for the delivery of large-scale prevention interventions. Methods: This paper reports on findings of 31 semi-structured interviews about participants’ understanding of systems thinking and their reflections of the strengths and weaknesses of the HTV prevention system. A chronic disease prevention framework informed the coding that was used to create a causal loop diagram and a core feedback loop to illustrate the results. Results: Findings highlighted that HTV created a highly connected prevention system that included a sizeable workforce, significant funding and supportive leadership. Operating guidelines, additional professional development and real-time evaluation were significant gaps, which hindered systems practice. For inexperienced systems thinkers, these limitations encouraged them to implement programs, rather than interact with the seemingly ambiguous systems methods. Conclusions: HTV was an innovative attempt to strengthen health promotion infrastructure, creating a common language and shared understanding of prevention system requirements. However, the model was inadequate for HTV to achieve population-level reductions in chronic disease as system oversight was missing, as was an intervention delivery focus. Clarity was needed to define the systems practice that HTV was seeking to achieve. Importantly, the HTV prevention system needed to be understood as complex and adaptive, and not prioritized as individual parts.

The constitution of the alcoholic self, communicative processes and administrative practices: On the varied uses of four terms denoting problematic drinking

Aims: The aims of this article were to examine the various meanings ascribed by three stakeholder groups – social workers, journalists and individuals with previous experience of problematic drinking – to four widely used terms in the alcohol field – alcoholism, alcohol dependence, alcohol misuse and risky drinking – and to examine how variations in the definitions of these terms correspond to specific pragmatic needs arising within different practices. Design: We conducted focus-group interviews with 15 individuals from the above-mentioned stakeholder groups. We identified three practices, we identified three practices which shaped the meanings ascribed to the four terms denoting problematic drinking. Results: The results showed that the meanings ascribed to the four terms were both fixed and fluid. For the individuals with previous experience of problematic drinking, the four terms had fixed meanings, and their definition of the term “alcoholism” as denoting a disease, for example, was vital to the practice through which they sought to come to an understanding of themselves (“practice of self”). The social workers and the journalists on the other hand saw the four terms as being context dependent – as fluid and imprecise. This allowed them to establish trustful communicative relationships with informants and clients (“practice of trustful communication”), and to control the communicative process and successfully navigate between different administrative systems (“practice of administration”). Conclusions: Since the meanings ascribed to the examined terms denoting problematic drinking are shaped within varying practices, confusion regarding the actual meaning of a given term could be avoided by referring to the practical context in which it is used.
