Objectives: To compare the Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) core panel system in comparison with the conventional construction system for mass housing projects by showing its impact on project completion time and cost. Methods: A mass housing project proposed by the Tamilnadu slum clearance board is selected which is designed using the EPS core panel system. The cost and project completion time has been calculated for this project. For the same project, using the conventional method, the cost estimation and project completion time are calculated. Findings: It is found that the EPS core panel system costs 21.30 percent less than the conventional method of construction. The project completion time of the EPS core panel system is 448 days earlier than the conventional construction method. This paper concludes that the EPS core panel system is more efficient for mass housing projects in terms of project cost and project completion time. Novelty: The novelty of this research is that no previous studies have been done to assess the suitability of the EPS core panel system for mass housing projects at this particular location. Also, the projects selected for case studies were not on large scale. In this study, a mass housing project on a 13.40 acre site is selected.

While various ChatGPT products continue to develop, we need to think about two issues: one is the industry access system. With the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence, Chat GPT products will enter our daily lives slowly and penetrate various fields. From the perspective of laws and regulations, it involves the industry access system in the Internet field implemented in China, that is, before the product is put on the shelf, according to the requirements of China's laws and regulations, how the product should be reviewed, and how the competent authority defines the responsibility for platform governance. The other is the protection of rights and interests. The development of ChatGPT requires a large amount of primary data for artificial intelligence to learn, and the source of this preliminary data is the intellectual property generated by a large number of people investing a large amount of labor. These intellectual property rights are valuable, and then the question is how do we protect them? At present, laws and regulations have yet to have a clear definition. To this end, this article will, based on the existing laws and regulations and related knowledge and combing with the above issues, discuss how Chat GPT products are governed at present, what operational risks exist, and how they should be governed in compliance with laws and regulations to promote the establishment of China's ChatGPT product legal and regulatory system.

Insecurity caused by violent conflicts in Nigeria is a recurring phenomenon that threatens the well-being of its citizens and has become something of grave concern to almost every well-meaning citizen. This study examined the socioeconomic impact of gender discrimination in conflict management in Nigeria. We argued that efforts by the Federal Government and some state governments to tackle violent conflicts have neglected women who are usually the most impacted by the negative effects of conflicts. Intervention strategies at all levels of government in Nigeria have mostly marginalize women and prioritize violent actors (mostly men). Arising from our finding that government at all levels in Nigeria have not done enough to assist and protect women‟s rights in conflict and post-conflict zones both in terms in of economic recovery and empowerment, as well as protection from gender-based and sexual violence, we recommend that there is need to amend national laws to make effective participation of women and women-based groups in government‟s conflict and post-conflict intervention efforts mandatory

The assignment empowers students to own their own ideas, develop their own voices and to listen to the ideas of others and gives students an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate each other‘s diversity and uniqueness.
