The vlog has become an increasingly popular genre, being found most often on the YouTube platform. Starting from the premise that it has a narrative form, we randomly selected five texts that we segmented, following the discourse marks related to each sequence and we quantified the number related to each one. The next step is represented by noting the numbers in pie chart type graphs in order to see which is the predominant one. For a better visibility of the sequences, we opted for the use of different colors for each of them, colors that can also be found in the charts. Thus, starting from the theory of narrative genres (according to W. Labov and J. Waletzky) and the three-level analysis model developed by Sophie Moirand, we proposed a discursive analysis aimed at showing that vlogs fall into the category of narrative genres. We mention that this article does not pretend to present a complete analysis but it is the starting point of a larger one, with a relevant oral corpus, which will thoroughly debate the vlog category.

Purpose: Analyzing vlogs from a narrative approach.

Patients and methods: Sequential analysis

Results: Narrative sequence is predominant

Conclusion: Vlogs can be considered a narrative genre

This study explores the evolution of contemporary interpretations of family law verses, focusing on the perspectives of Ibn Āshūr and M. Quraish Shihab, prominent mufassir with deep concerns about family law issues. Employing a qualitative library research approach, the study utilizes descriptive-analytical methods and content analysis, incorporating Hans-Georg Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutic approach. Mansour Fakih’s gender analysis is also integrated to discern humanist values and gender equality in the interpretations. The findings highlight the construction of interpretations by both scholars, emphasizing moderate, humanist, and solution approaches. The study identifies factors influencing their interpretations and underscores their contributions to family law discourses, particularly in developing a non-sectarian, moderate method. Importantly, it notes the nuanced and humanist interpretation of gender equality influenced by academic and socio-political factors. Overall, the research supports the relevance of Gadamer’s hermeneutic theory in understanding contemporary interpretations.

This study investigated librarian’s computer self-efficacy as correlate for creation of Institution Repository in South-South universities in Nigeria. The study employed the descriptive survey design of the correlational type and the population for the study consisted of 181 librarians drawn from public university libraries in south-south Nigeria. The instrument for data collection is the structured questionnaire titled “Librarians Computer Self-efficacy as Correlate for Creation of Institutional Repository Questionnaire (LCSCCIRQ)”. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency and mean to answer the research questions. Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and multiple regression statistics was used to test the Hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that: (i) there was a high level of general computer self-efficacy among librarians towards the creation of IR in the universities in South-South Nigeria; (ii) librarians possesses high level of advanced computer-self efficacy skills towards the creation of IR in the universities; (iii) librarians are highly willing to create IR in their institutions; (iv) both librarians general computer self-efficacy and advanced computer-self efficacy influenced the creation of IR in South-South, Nigeria. It was therefore recommended that librarians should continue to improve on their current state of computer-self efficacy skills most especially the advanced computer-self efficacy in order to be fully equipped to fit into the 21^st century technology, and be prepared at all times to take up new challenges as regards new inventions in the library (IR).
