For a topological group G the intersection KO(G) of all kernels of ordinary representations is studied. We show that KO(G) is contained in the center of G if G is a connected pro-Lie group. The class KO(C) is determined explicitly if C is the class ConnLie of connected Lie groups or the class almConnLie of almost connected Lie groups: in both cases, it consists of all compactly generated abelian Lie groups. Every compact abelian group and every connected abelian pro-Lie group occurs as KO(G) for some connected pro-Lie group G. However, the dimension of KO(G) is bounded by the cardinality of the continuum if G is locally compact and connected. Examples are given to show that KO(C) becomes complicated if C contains groups with infinitely many connected components.

The article offers information on the drawbacks of the contemporary civic education in the U.S. It states that the political theorists of education in the 1980s believed that value neutrality was problematic because it did not concern itself with inculcating any civic values, no less values conducive to liberal democracy.

The article focuses on chiroptera in Africa in 2015 and presents several charts on the same. Topics discussed include highest species found in the Albertine Rift in East Africa, relationship between megabats and rhinolophids, molecular studies revealing expanded superfamily, Noctilionoidea and rabies in bats. Other topics include distribution maps of bats such as Megaloglossus and Tadarida lobata and a chart on genera and species per family.

The article presents a report on the 2014 African Chiroptera project that focuses on the behaviior of AfricanBats in Pretoria, Republic of South Africa. It describes the speciation, taxonomy, and population distribution of the AfricanBats in comparison to the 2013 report. It also details the palaeontological and archaeological records relating to the AfricanBats, along with the general distribution, morphology, and geographic variation of the species.
