ABSTRACT
Social networks, particularly Facebook, are playing an increasingly important role in shaping and promoting identities, especially in societies where social norms sometimes restrict the expression of certain identities. In Côte d'Ivoire, where issues relating to sexual orientation are often taboo, social networks provide an alternative space for the expression of these identities, particularly those of the Woubis, a local term for LGBTIQ people. The aim of this study is to examine the impact of Facebook on the visibility of homosexual identities (Woubis) in Côte d'Ivoire, taking into account the socio-cultural and political particularities of this context. Qualitative in nature, the study is based on content analysis and explores publications, comments and interactions within Facebook pages, groups and profiles associated with Woubis identities in Côte d'Ivoire. To do this, surveys and interviews were conducted with Woubis Facebook users in order to better understand their experiences and perceptions. The case study approach was therefore deemed appropriate for analysing concrete examples of the successful or controversial visibility of Woubis identities on this platform. The results show that Ivorian cyberactivists question rigid categories of gender and sexuality, including the dichotomy between homosexuality and heterosexuality. They see homosexuality not as a fixed identity, but as one of many possible forms of sexual expression, embedded in a system of behaviours, representations and discriminations that favour heterosexuality, despite the existence of other sexual orientations. They also benefit from the reinforcement of strict boundaries between sexual categories. However, the Woubis adopt an interactionist approach, negotiating and amplifying their sexual identities through their social interactions. They develop ideologies in which homosexuality is seen as an identity that emerges and is consolidated through these interactions.

ABSTRACT
Background: Youth unemployment has become a pervasive issue in Nigeria, particularly in rural communities like Otuoke, where limited economic opportunities and social pressures contribute to increased rates of criminality, including burglary. This study investigates the relationship between youth unemployment and burglary in Otuoke community, Bayelsa State, aiming to shed light on the socio-economic factors driving this correlation. Aim: This study investigates the relationship between youth unemployment and burglary in Otuoke community, Bayelsa State, using Robert K. Merton's strain theory. Method: A sample of 370 participants was selected through purposive sampling, and data was collected via self-designed questionnaires. Frequency tables and simple percentage analysis revealed a significant link between youth unemployment and burglary. Result: The findings suggest that Nigeria's emphasis on goals without providing adequate means leads to deviant behavior. There was a significant correlation between youth unemployment and burglary rates in the Otuoke community, 75% of respondents reported unemployment as a primary motivator for engaging in burglary, lack of job opportunities, poverty, and inadequate education were identified as major contributing factors, 60% of respondents had no formal education or vocational training, social pressures, peer influence, and family financial burdens also played a role in criminal involvement, majority of burglars (80%) were aged 18-25, emphasizing the vulnerability of young people. Conclusion: Youth unemployment is a societal issue threatening social-economic stability.

The industry has not yet developed rapidly, so the Tulungagung Regency Government needs to create a quality business and investment climate by providing incentives and ease of investment and business, so that it can create and open up new jobs as widely as possible for the people. Through the interview method with the research subjects, there is a phenomenon that requires a new, better cultural building due to the impact of the culture of going to work abroad. This study found the fact of omission culture, which means the neglect or acceptance of the actions of migrant workers, both negative and positive, as a form of tolerance for their profession as migrant workers. This omission migrant culture is often found in migrant worker families who tolerate 1. Infidelity, changing partners, temporarily changing partners and/or returning to the original partner and/or changing partners permanently 2. Neglect if the children of the worker's family members are not cared for.
ABSTRACT
Traditional titles existed before the European Powers colonised Africa in the late 19th century. Cameroon traditional societies were an epitome of every other African society that upheld these titles. In the Nso fondom, Traditional Authorities awarded titles because they realized that it was easy to administer the population with designated individuals charged with the duty of bringing together people to carry out development in the fondom. The acquisition of such titles thus became a sign of honour and prestige to those on whom they were conferred, even though the titles were only awarded to those who distinguished themselves in society either by their achievement or by belonging to a particular lineage. These titles ranged from Kibai, Shuufaay, Faay, Sheey, Yaa, Mfoome etc. During the post-colonial period, the Nso fondom witnessed a proliferation of title holders in the society particularly those of the Sheey class. The desire to uncover the driving force behind this increase prompted this research. Using information from oral and written sources and applying a qualitative and quantitative research methodology, we came up with the findings that the excitement of title award ran and has continued to run in the blood of many people who saw in it an opportunity not only to contribute to the traditional administration of the people and the society as a whole, but also to be noticed. The outcome of this was that title donors disregarded the status quo which required the title to be awarded pursuant to the initial traditional value fervently upheld by the ancestors of the Fondom. Therefore, in order to revive the traditional value of the title, title donors should adhere to the old tradition of award that laid emphasis on maturity and integrity as well as the readiness to act as custodians of the customs and traditions of the Fondom.

ABSTRACT
This article aims to determine and analyze investor protection against insider trading practices in the Capital Market and the regulation of settlement of insider trading practices by the Financial Services Authority. This article uses normative legal research methods with a statutory and conceptual approach. The results show weaknesses in legal protection and regulations related to resolving problems related to Insider Trading practices. In terms of legal protection, it is also not based on empirical facts in the field because no regulations specifically regulate the practice of insider trading. Nothing specifically regulates the settlement of insider trading practices. Also, proving this practice is very difficult, so it cannot provide legal certainty to investors who have experienced capital market violations. There is no firm confirmation from the Financial Services Authority to deter perpetrators of Insider Trading by imposing cumulative penalties or sanctions as regulated in the Capital Markets Law. So, Insider Trading cases in the Indonesian Capital Market were never resolved through court.
