Abstract :The fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is an important maize pests that threaten food security in sub-Saharan Africa. In order to evaluate the diversity of natural enemies and especially their effectiveness for a sustainable management of this pest in Africa, a literature review was carried out. It consisted in exploiting 35 scientific publications from the most highly rated journals, over the period 2015-2020 relating to the inventory of the natural enemies of S. frugiperda and their effectiveness in the world in general and more particularly in Africa. It emerges from this study that there is a large diversity of natural enemies of S. frugiperda in the world. In total, 66 species of natural enemies belonging to 21 families in 10 orders have been recorded. Parasitoids have been the most studied 43 (64.18%) and the most used in the control of S. frugiperda, followed by predators 13 (19.40%) and entomopathogens (13.42%). In Africa, 24 of the 67 species have been recorded in 9 countries. Parasitoids were also created with a rate of 26.86% or 75.00% at the African level. The main most effective parasitoids were Telenomus remus (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae), Chelonus insularis Cresson (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and Cotesia marginiventris Cresson (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) with parasitism rates varying between 0.85 and 9.90% depending on the environments. In view of the results, since these species have been listed in Africa, they seem to be real candidates for future programs for the sustainable management of this caterpillar. Research is underway in Togo and probably in the rest of the countries of the continent for a better knowledge and development of these natural enemies. |

Abstract : PERCEIVED VALUES ROLE IN CONSUMERISM AND HIGHER EDUCATION
The rapid development of all industries and firms in the twenty-first century has increased corporate competitiveness in terms of making customers feel fulfilled and appreciated receive what they have paid for
In the service business, perceived value, or customer happiness, is always a prerequisite factor, a critical aspect for the existence and preservation of competitive advantages (Ravald & Gronroos, 1996).
To be successful in this field, companies must consider not just the quality of their products and services, but also the feelings and contentment of their customers. Customers will never use a product again if it does not meet their demands or meet their standards, regardless of how high-quality the product or service is provided by that company.

Author : Thani Prashad Ghimire |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :This paper attempts to study the macroeconomic factors that affect the stock prices in Nepal. It considers the annual data of four macroeconomic variables that affect the NEPSE Index inflation rate, broad money supply, gross domestic product, and per capita income from 2011-2021 and tries to find out the influence of these variables on the NEPSE index (stock prices). It uses the Pearson correlation matrix to study the relationship between stock prices ad macroeconomic variables. The results obtained from correlation analysis revealed that market performance of stock prices is found to respond positively to broad money supply and gross domestic product and negatively to the inflation rate as expected. Also, the NEPSE index is not affected by the changes in the per capita income of the nation. These findings help to build up economic and financial policies in the nation and stabilize the capital stock market in Nepal. |

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Introduction: Dengue is one of the most important arboviral disease in Kerala. Development of the control measures mainly
depends upon the knowledge regarding the bionomics of mosquito. The larval indices are one of the methods of entomological
surveillance, which can predict the outbreak of mosquito borne diseases. The hospital premises need to be mosquito free and
need to be safe place for staff and patients. Hence, the present study was done to calculate the standardized larval indices, trends
and to determine major breeding source in hospital campus of, Thrissur district, Kerala. |

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :This study examines the impact of government expenditure on economic growth in Nigeria using time series data
spanning from 1980-2020. Variables used includes real gdp, government final consumption expenditure and population growth
rate. Augmented Dickey Fuller and Philips-Perron unit root test for stationary of the variable, Johansen Co integration, Vector
Error Correction and Granger Causality tests were estimated. Johansen co integration test result indicates the existence of long
run relationship while the error corrections model reveals the absence of shot run relation among the variable. Unidirectional
causality runs from population growth to economic growth and public expenditure to population growth. Base on the findings, it
is recommended that Nigerian government should enhance expenditure on social welfare to improve standard of living of it
