THE BOUNDARIES OF WAR LOCAL AND GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES IN MILITARY HISTORY, 2024

While we may think of ancient militaries with their pre-industrial agriculture, networks, and economies as unconcerned with logistics, we would be incorrect in making such an assumption. Regardless of whether it was local or long-distance warfare, logistics mattered in the ancient world just as much as it does in later periods. The goal of this chapter is to provide the reader with a better sense of ancient logistics and consider why it has not received more attention. The discussion unfolds in two parts. The first part is historiographical, including examination of both modern and ancient authors’ treatments of logistics. The chapter’s second part focuses on the current state of research into ancient logistics. Modern scholarship relies on a mixture of local and global (glocal) perspectives in examinations of ancient provisioning as it restores logistics to studies of ancient warfare.

Albert Einstein's theory of relativity has been the subject of much debate since it was first published, given the problems and new perspectives it brought to physics and beyond. Here, however, it is stressed the relations and the analysis by the neo-Kantian philosopher Ernst Cassirer, who, in his discussion, recognizes the merits and defects of Einstein's theory, particularly concerning certain essential aspects such as the concepts of space, time, objects and truth, which will be extensively explored in this short communication through an exploration of the history of philosophy too, delving into these issues by elaborating other peculiar aspects that belong to Cassirer's distinctive thought, together with the historical development and origins of such theory.

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between Nigerian’s manufacturing industry and economic growth for their relative improvement through factors that affect economic growth which include financial accessibility, human capital development, government policy/ implementation and infrastructural development. The statistical significant relationship between manufacturing and financial accessibility human capital development, government policy/implementation and infrastructural development are 0.031, 0.04, 0.022 and 0.012 respectively. Comparatively, the p-value obtained from the relationship between manufacturing and infrastructural development indicates stronger evidence in favour of the alternative hypothesis than other factors affecting economic growth. This study focuses on the Nigerian labour-intensive manufacturing sector and the units of analysis are manufacturing leather, wood, and metal products. To effectively investigate this relationship, quantitative research approach and survey research strategy are used. The data collected from the research were analyzed statistically with IBM SPSS Statistics Version 21. The results obtained show that statistically there is significant relationship between manufacturing and economic growth. Keywords: Assessment, Manufacturing industry, Relationship, Factors, Economic growth.
