Energy plays a vital role in the social and economic development of any nation. Compared to other regions of the world, Sub-Saharan Africa lags behind in energy access. About half of the population lack access to electricity and other cleaner fuels. With vast arable land, good climatic and soil conditions, Sub-Saharan Africa could address its energy supply challenges through bioenergy. This article reviews the biofuel potential of some Sub-Saharan African countries, the reasons why it is suitable for the region and the barriers hindering expansion and development of biofuel. Though some progress have been made in bioethanol and biogas production, biodiesel production is still at infancy stage in the region. Most of the feedstocks for biofuel production are from agricultural waste. Biofuel adoption in the energy-mix of Sub-Saharan African countries will reduce over dependence on importation of crude oil, thereby, saving huge foreign exchange. It will also provide employment to millions of people in the agricultural value chain through cultivation of bioenergy crops. In terms of climate change mitigation, biofuel holds a great potential in reducing carbon emissions associated fossil fuels.

La révolution digitale dans une entreprise est en lien étroit avec son histoire et son activité; elle fait partie intégrante de sa culture et de son identité. L'existence de réseaux sociaux internes, alimentés par le personnel d'une entreprise, témoigne du niveau de maturité technologique et de nouvelles formes de liberté atteintes. Dans la présente étude, il sera question de montrer grâce à l'approche qualitative via une série d'entretiens que l'application du digital ouvre des espaces de réflexion sur l'organisation sociale et sur les relations interpersonnelles au sein de l'entreprise. A travers cette prise de conscience partagée, l'immense majorité du personnel de la Direction Générale de Douane et Accise au Sud-Kivu reconnaît le poids grandissant que les technologies digitales occupent désormais dans leur sphère personnelle et professionnelle.

The thesis I will present is that, whatever its exact origins, the anekāntavāda was primarily (though not exclusively) used for two purposes: (1) to solve the "paradox of causality", and (2) to classify non-Jaina systems of thought. The earliest texts in which the doctrine occurs present it as a solution to the paradox of causality. Only later do we find its use to classify non-Jaina philosophies. Abbreviations STP See Siddhasena Divākara Saṃmati-tarka-prakaraṇa In a recent book-called Jain Approaches to Plurality-Melanie Barbato shows how anekāntavāda, from colonial times onward, came to be presented as a version of tolerance. This is a relatively new development, which some Jainas may be tempted to project back into earlier times. This, however, would be a mistake. This leaves the question, why does anekāntavāda play such an important role in Jaina philosophy? The thesis I will present is that, whatever its exact origins, 1 the anekāntavāda was primarily (though not exclusively) used for two purposes: (1) to solve the "paradox 1 According to the Brahmanical Viṣṇu Purāṇa (3.18.9-12), the anekāntavāda was taught by Māyāmoha to a number of demons in order to lure them away from the Vedic path and kill them; cf.

Indian classical and folk dances are an integral part of India's rich cultural heritage. They are not only a form of entertainment but also a medium of preservation of culture and traditions. Indian classical dances are ancient and traditional forms of artistic expression that are deeply rooted in religion and spirituality also. They are seen as a form of meditation or yoga and can have the same impact as a yajna. Indian folk dances, on the other hand, are performed throughout the world to celebrate a new season, childbirth, weddings, festivals, and other social occasions 2. This chapter explores how Indian classical and folk dances serve as a medium for the preservation of culture and traditions. Imaging India ISBN: 978-93-94808-55-3

This chapter outlines the impact of some of the most influential Asian philosophies on the English-speaking philosophical world from 1945 to 2015. Focusing on English-language materials, this chapter offers a brief sketch of some of the contributions Chinese, Japanese, and Indian philosophies have made to the broader philosophical landscape since 1945. A section on each of these regions offers a brief sketch of the historical context and key terms, followed by an account of a few key areas of philosophic interest. Some of the key traditions discussed include: Ruism (Confucianism), Daoism, and Buddhism. Some of the key areas of interest include ethics and the nature of self-cultivation, aesthetics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, phenomenology, epistemology, metaphysics, as well as a significant body of work concerning the nature of philosophy itself and the place of non-Western philosophical traditions and cross-cultural philosophy within the academy.
