NIGERIAN YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT AND SECURITY ISSUES: EVALUATING THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP OPTION by MUSA MOHAMMED BELLO, JIBRIN UBALE YAHAYA, ISYAKU ADAMU

“…This was accomplished by compiling secondary data from qualitative and quantitative studies and utilizing the theoretical framework of empowerment theory. The study finds that Nigeria's economy regrettably still has a high rate of youth unemployment, reaching up to 53%, despite the frantic entrepreneurship aimed at ending unemployment. …”

Understanding ASEAN Centrality: Comparative Analysis of ‘Core’ and ‘Hub’ Strategies by Shintaro Hamanaka

“…This study attempts to contribute to the literature mainly from theoretical (conceptual) and, to a lesser degree, empirical perspectives. From the theory front, the paper elaborates the notion of centrality, by differentiating the two concepts related to centrality: core and hub. …”

Water Permeability of Pervious Concrete Is Dependent on the Applied Pressure and Testing Methods by Yinghong Qin, Haifeng Yang, Zhiheng Deng, Jiang He

“…The fundamental difference between the CHM and FHM is examined from the theory of fluid flowing through porous media. The testing results suggest that the water permeability of permeable concrete should be reported with the applied pressure and the associated testing method.…”

On absolutely invertibles by Francisco Javier García-Pacheco, María de los Ángeles Moreno-Frías, Marina Murillo-Arcila

“…Finally, two applications to classical operator theory were provided, i.e., every Banach space of dimension of at least $ 2 $ could be equivalently re-normed in such a way that the group of surjective linear isometries was not a normal subgroup of the group of isomorphisms, and every infinite-dimensional Banach space, containing a proper complemented subspace isomorphic to it, could be equivalently re-normed so that the set of surjective linear operators was not dense in the Banach algebra of bounded linear operators.…”
