The issues of insecurity in the Niger Delta, particularly in communities such as Ogwashi-Uku and Ibusa in Aniocha South and Oshimili North, respectively in Delta State has experienced persistent threats including kidnapping, cult-related violence, armed robbery, and other forms of criminal activity and these insecurities are largely attributed to factors such as political exclusion and limited economic opportunities for the youth, which collectively contribute to social instability and community fragility. This study employed a quantitative research design to investigate the nexus between youth development and insecurity reduction. Data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to a sample size of 400 respondents, derived from a target population of 72,000 youths using Yamane’s (1967) formula with a 5% margin of error. Out of the 400 questionnaires, 370 were validly completed and returned. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, while hypotheses were tested through the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient with the aid of SPSS (version 27) at a 5% significance level. The first hypothesis test revealed a significant and strong positive correlation (r = 0.684, p < 0.00, n = 370) between youth empowerment initiatives and insecurity reduction. The second hypothesis test demonstrated a moderately strong positive relationship (r = 0.592, p < 0.01, n = 370) between youth leadership engagement and the reduction of cultrelated activities. The study concludes that youth-focused strategies are vital to addressing insecurity in the Niger Delta. It recommends targeted leadership and peacebuilding training, alongside expanded entrepreneurial and skills development programs to mitigate the socioeconomic drivers of crime.

In the era of globalization and growing interdependence, regional and international integration has become an essential component of state development strategies. For the Republic of Tajikistan, located in a strategically important area of Central Asia and possessing significant hydropower and natural resources, integration serves as a key factor for ensuring economic progress, national security, and international recognition. After independence, Tajikistan adopted a foreign policy centered on balanced cooperation and mutual benefit, as defined in the *Foreign Policy Concept of the Republic of Tajikistan* (2015) [1]. The country actively participates in major regional projects, such as CASA-1000, enabling the export of over 40 billion kWh of renewable electricity annually (World Bank Report, 2023) [2]. Tajikistan’s role in regional organizations, including the CIS, SCO, ECO, and OSCE, demonstrates its commitment to strengthening security, economic cooperation, trade, and environmental sustainability. Scholars highlight the significant role of Tajikistan in regional energy, water diplomacy, and security initiatives [3,87; 4,56; 7,58; 9,45]. Furthermore, Tajikistan contributes to global integration through active cooperation with the UN, WTO, World Bank, and other international institutions, solidifying its diplomatic standing and fostering sustainable development [10; 11]. This article analyzes the role of Tajikistan in regional and international integration processes, emphasizing its strategic geopolitical position, multidimensional foreign policy, and contribution to regional stability and global initiatives.

This paper examines the application of process-oriented consciousness versus resultoriented consciousness and possibility-oriented consciousness versus fact-oriented consciousness in Chinese film subtitle translation, using "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" as a case study. It analyzes how these four forms of awareness function in translation practice and their effect on translation quality. By establishing a theoretical framework and examining concrete examples, the study highlights the significance of these conceptual pairs in subtitle translation and suggests relevant translation strategies. The findings indicate that appropriate use of process-oriented consciousness and result-oriented consciousness, along with possibility-oriented consciousness and fact-oriented consciousness can significantly improve the accuracy and fluency of subtitles, thereby enhancing the viewing experience and deepening the audience’s comprehension of the film.

Overweight and obesity, disorders of energy metabolism characterized by excess adipose tissue, contribute significantly to global morbidity and mortality. With increasing urbanization and lifestyle shifts, Nigeria faces rising prevalence rates, including among university staff. The study aimed to determine the prevalence and clinical correlates of overweight and obesity among staff of Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto (UDUS). Descriptive cross-sectional study was used among 109 consenting non-academic and academic staff of UDUS using structured questionnaires to collect socio-demographic and behavioral data. Anthropometric measurements and biochemical assays, including fasting blood glucose, lipid profiles, leptin, and renal function tests, were performed. Data were analyzed by using a logistic regression to identify determinants of overweight and obese, with statistical significance of p < 0.05. The prevalence of overweight and obesity combined were 47%, with non-academic staff showing higher risk. Family history of diabetes and medication use was significant which were associated overweight and obesity (p < 0.05). Other clinical markers such as hypertension history, lipid parameters, fasting glucose, and leptin levels did not show significant associations. Occupation and fruit consumption frequency independently predicted overweight and obesity after adjusting for age. The high prevalence aligns with prior regional studies and underscores the impact of sedentary work and dietary habits on obesity risk. The paradoxical positive association between fruit consumption and obesity may reflect intake of sugar-rich fruit products. Overweight and obesity remain highly prevalent among UDUS staff, influenced by occupational status and dietary patterns. Workplace health interventions focusing on activity promotion and nutrition education are essential.
