This study investigates the performance of various corn seed varieties in organic and conventional farming systems. It compares key parameters such as yield, plant height, cob size, and other relevant traits across both systems. Advanced data mining techniques, including association rule mining and classification algorithms like Decision Trees and Support Vector Machines, will be utilized to identify critical factors affecting corn performance. The study aims to develop predictive models based on these factors to enhance understanding and decisionmaking in agriculture. The findings will offer valuable insights into the comparative benefits of organic versus conventional farming for corn production. Additionally, the research will guide farmers and stakeholders in selecting suitable seed varieties for specific farming methods. By identifying the strengths and weaknesses of each system, the study contributes to the broader goal of promoting sustainable and efficient agricultural practices. The results will be especially useful in addressing the growing demand for sustainable food production while maintaining high yields. Overall, this research aims to bridge gaps in knowledge and support the development of farming strategies that balance productivity with environmental stewardship.

The article is a qualitative sociological study that examines the motivations of workers in Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), with a case study of the Young Women's Christian Union (YWCA). The main objective is to understand the factors that lead individuals to choose to work in NGOs, focusing specifically on work meaning and professional experiences. The theoretical framework is based on sociological theories of Weber , Durkheim , Marx and others, which analyze the meaning of work and the construction of professional orientation. The research is based on three semi-structured interviews with women working in the XEN, which offer different experiences and perspectives. Common points are presented such as commitment to social values, ideological position, difficulties in the previous work environment and a sense of satisfaction from working in the XEN. Problems such as bureaucracy, the lack of a clear ideological identity of the organization and the limited degree of organization are also highlighted. The conclusions highlight that work meaning is a dynamic and changing phenomenon, shaped by personal experiences and relationships within the work environment. Also, although NGOs carry elements of both the state and private sectors, they remain attractive to individuals who wish to contribute socially. The study highlights the need for further research with a larger and more diverse sample.

The Federal Civil Service of Nigeria plays a pivotal role in implementing government policies and delivering public services. To maintain efficiency and adaptability, continuous training and development of civil servants are essential. This paper examines the evolution, current state, and challenges of training within Nigeria's federal civil service, focusing on key training centers and their affiliates. Institutions such as the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON), Public Service Institute of Nigeria (PSIN), Federal Training Centres (FTCs), and the Federal Civil Service Online Academy have been instrumental in capacity building. Despite their contributions, these institutions face challenges including outdated curricula, inadequate funding, and limited technological integration. Through qualitative analysis of existing literature and institutional reports, this study identifies gaps in the current training framework and offers recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of civil service training programs. Emphasizing the need for curriculum modernization, increased investment, and adoption of digital learning platforms, the paper advocates for a comprehensive strategy to strengthen the federal civil service's capacity to meet contemporary governance challenges.

Hedge funds have become one of the most sought-after investment vehicles due to their ability to generate high returns while providing diversification benefits. However, their performance remains highly variable and dependent on a range of factors. This paper explores the key determinants of hedge fund performance, the role of manager selection, and the impact of portfolio diversification strategies. By integrating recent developments in financial theory and empirical research, this study proposes a novel approach to investment strategy development that incorporates advanced risk management techniques, performance metrics, and manager evaluation frameworks. The findings suggest that a comprehensive and dynamic approach to hedge fund management and portfolio diversification can enhance performance and reduce risk exposure in an increasingly complex market environment.
