Abstract: This study explores the practical applications of political theory, focusing on how fundamental principles are translated into real political actions within governance and decision-making contexts. The first section addresses the identification of core principles such as democracy, justice, equality, sovereignty, legitimacy, and rights, which serve as a theoretical framework for political systems and policy formulation. Each principle is examined in depth, highlighting its significance in shaping governance and social order. For instance, democracy emphasizes citizen participation and accountability, while justice relates to fairness and equitable distribution of resources. Various political scenarios where these principles are applied are discussed, including legislative debates, policy-making processes, electoral campaigns, diplomatic negotiations, and judicial rulings. Each scenario illustrates the practical implications of political theories, demonstrating how lawmakers, policymakers, and diplomats engage with these concepts to address societal issues, Furthermore, the study emphasizes the necessity of considering stakeholders' perspectives, including government officials, political parties, civil society organizations, interest groups, and citizens, in evaluating the effectiveness of political actions. Through a critical analysis of these applications, the study assesses the outcomes of political decisions and governance practices, focusing on their alignment with democratic values and the protection of individual rights. It also addresses challenges such as institutional barriers, conflicting interests, and resource constraints that hinder the realization of political ideals. Ultimately, the study offers recommendations to enhance the significance of political theory in contemporary political discourse, advocating for collaborative efforts between theorists and practitioners to ensure that theoretical ideas inform practical policymaking. This study underscores the vital role of political theory in understanding and addressing current political challenges, contributing to enlightened governance and social progress.

Abstract: Sound is an inseparable part of human activity, exhibiting various phenomena related to its source, duration, timing, and interpretation. In residential environments, sound contributes uniquely to each building's character, shaped by its spatial dimensions. This auditory phenomenon is subject to interpretation by both residents and the surrounding environment, though these interpretations may differ. This study aims to explore the boundaries of recent research in soundscape studies, particularly within the field of architecture. Utilizing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, this study analyzes journals from the past 20 years using the Publish or Perish (PoP) application and the keywords "Soundscape" and "Architecture" in the Scopus Index. The objective is to present a research map of the past 5 years, identifying patterns and trends in Soundscape Architecture. The findings reveal distinct concentrations in the object of study and scale within the architectural scope, contributing to a deeper understanding of the complexities and nuances of Soundscape Architecture research. Furthermore, this study highlights areas for future investigation and development, emphasizing the evolving nature of this interdisciplinary field.

Abstract: Chickpea’s protein quality is better than other legumes. it has low levels of anti-nutritional factors and it is rich in some minerals and vitamins (thiamine and niacin). However, dried chickpea is needing prolonged cooking time. Owing to the need for more adequate alternatives to fulfill the demands of chickpea consumers in Ethiopia and other countries, adding value to the food via industrial processing and offering semi-prepared foods of high nutritional quality, sensory value and reduced cooking times is necessary. Hence, the aims of this study were to evaluate canning quality of Ethiopian chickpea varieties. Three kabuli Chickpea types and one desi type were used for this experiment. Three cooking temperatures (70, 80, and 90°C) were used. Cooking time, techno-functional, Canning quality of chickpeas, and Sensory evaluation of canned chickpeas were analyzed. The least significant difference (LSD) between the mean was reported at a significant level, p ≤ 0.05. The result indicates that Arerti variety cooked at 70 and 80°C had a maximum average of PWDWT, seed shape, splits, and degree of clumps. The maximum average of overall acceptability was observed from the Arerti variety followed by the koka variety. Finally, the canning quality evaluation results revealed that Arerti variety was suitable for canning, and has the potential to be used as a raw material for the canning industry.
