The Impact of Utilizing Learning Resources on Junior Secondary School Students’ Performance in Basic Science
Longinus, Nwala PhD – October 2021- Page No.: 01-06
This study investigated the impact of utilizing learning resources on junior secondary school students’ performance in Basic Science. The descriptive survey research design was adopted with a population and sample size of 16,077 and 385 students respectively. Simple random technique was used to select the sample. Learning Resources Utilization Questionnaire (LRUQ) and Basic Science Performance Test (BSPT) were the instruments validated and used for data collection. The reliability indices of LRUQ and BSPT obtained by test and re-test methods were 0.78 and 0.74 respectively. Data collected using the instruments were analyzed. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the three research questions while analysis of variance was used to test the two hypothesis formulated to guide the study. Findings of the study revealed that the extent of utilizing learning resources in teaching Basic Science was high. The difference between the performance of students taught Basic Science with and without learning resources was significant. However gender difference was not significant. The use of learning resources to teach Basic Science was highly recommended to enhance the performance of students’ in the subject.

Rising Insecurity and Development in Nigeria
Uebari Samuel N-Ue, Ph. D, & Dr. Goodnews, Wabah – October 2021- Page No.: 14-24
Nigeria returned to democratic rule 1999 after many years of military autocracy. Since then, the country has come under array of complex security threats. This paper, therefore, examined these security threats like insurgency, terrorism, banditry and cattle rustlings, pastoralists/farmers skirmishes, militancy and communal conflicts among others and their profound repercussions on national security and development. Adopting the multi-disciplinary approach, this study revealed that at the root of these emerging threats lie mass misgvings over the perceived political thuggery, poverty and hunger, unemployment, lack of government responsibility, collapse of social infrastructure, and corruption within the system. The findings of the paper showed that the insecurity with its frightening and unprecedented dimensions had serious adverse effects on the State’s security architecture, personal safety, national stability and development. It recommends among other things, that priority attention should be focused more on people-centred measures that could more easily deliver the good life to the entire citizenry than on military hard ware and institutions.

Effect of Social Media Tools on Service Delivery of Hospitality Businesses in Akure, Nigeria
Olowofeso, Edamisan & Ale, Olatide Aarinola – October 2021- Page No.: 25-31
The study examines the extent and effect of social media tools on the service delivery of hospitality businesses in Akure, Nigeria. A total of 122 hospitality businesses were obtained from the records of the Ondo State Ministry of Culture and Tourism and used as respondents for the study. Two sets of copies of structured questionnaires were administered randomly to 100 selected hospitality businesses. A manager and customer were randomly selected from each of the hospitality businesses as respondents. A total of 200 copies of questionnaires were administered. However, the analysis, which relied on the use of SPSS version 25, was based on 174 copies that were retrieved. The reliability test was determined using Cronbach’s alpha and all the variables were above 0.7. The study adopted descriptive statistics to analyse the nature and extent of the different social media tools used in the industry while multiple linear regression techniques were used to analyse the result. Findings revealed that Facebook, WhatsApp and Twitter were the most prominent social media tools used by the respondents. Results of the multiple regression analysis revealed an R2 of 0.717 and a significant value of P < 0. 05. The study concluded that there is a positive relationship between the use of social media tools and the service delivery of hospitality businesses in the study area, and therefore, recommended the utilisation of social media tools to increase their visibility on the digital space, for proper planning and maximum success.

Britain and United States’ influence on opposition politics in Africa: A Case of Movement for Democratic Change in Zimbabwe
Tapfuiwa James Katsinde & Blessing Muchambo – October 2021- Page No.: 37-55
The purpose of the study was to analyse the influence of Britain and USA on opposition politics in Africa: A case of MDC in Zimbabwe. Literature reviewed from various sources showed that a number of opposition parties in Africa lack a strong financial base thus rely on foreign financial and technical funding. The Liberal Democratic and the Rational Choice Theories were employed as the theoretical frameworks to guide this study. The qualitative methodology was adopted to conduct the study. Questionnaires, documents and interviews were used to collect data. The target population was party members from the MDC and ZANU PF. A sample of 60 members and key informants identified through purposive and snowballing sampling techniques was used. The research found out that financial sources of political parties are membership subscriptions, individual donations, state allocations, party investments and business sector. No foreign funding was evident. Technical support and capacity building programmes are provided to all political parties by international agencies and local NGOs funded indirectly by Britain and USA. The impact of capacity building programmes is strengthened parliamentary committees and improved level of understanding of legislative procedures. Based on research findings, the research concluded that there is no influence of opposition parties’ policies due to financial, technical and capacity building support provided by Britain and USA. Recommendations were that political parties should encourage payment of membership fees and individual donations and the amendment of the Political Parties Finance Act to allow a certain percentage of foreign funding. An area for further study would be a comparative analysis of opposition political parties’ electoral performance in Southern Africa.

This study inspected the support services provided to students with disabilities (SWD) in higher education institutions (HEIs) in Tanzania, where a total of 173 respondents were involved in a descriptive study that was cross-sectional design. The respondents were categorized as follows; 33 SWD, including ten visually impaired, seven hearing impaired, seven physically impaired, five low vision, three Albino, and one speech impaired. Other respondents included 47 non-disabled students, 40 Dar-es-Salam University students’ organization (DARUSO) leaders, 35 trainers, and 18 management personnel. The study revealed the support services provided to SWD as caretakers, health and psychological support, accommodation facilities available around the University, sign language interpreters, readers, leaders, loans, and other special treatment. However, the study reports on shortages of special education staff and transport facilities. The study recommends the improvement of infrastructures accessible to SWD and the increase of more permanent committed special education educators and other specially trained supporting staff.

Citizens’ Assistance and Satisfaction with Community Policing in Crime Control in Ishielu Local Government Area, Ebonyi State, South-East, Nigeria
Onuoha, Ogobuchi Onuoha, Oli, Nneka Perpetua – October 2021- Page No.: 62-70
The Nigeria police have been since inception bedeviled with myriads of challenges in the course of discharging their roles of crime prevention and control. They have also lost public trust because of their high-handedness and other inhuman treatment in dealing with the public. To mend fences and ensure public acceptability, the Nigeria police reviewed series of strategies which include community policing in crime control. To this end, this paper examined Citizens’ Assistance and Satisfaction with Community Policing in Crime Control in Ishielu Local Government Area, Ebonyi State, South-East, Nigeria. Ishielu L.G.A has a total population of one hundred and fifty-two thousand, five hundred and eighty-one (NPC, 2006), while the target population studied are the adult residents who have attained the age of 18years and above. The study is anchored on social bond theory. The study adopted mixed methods design. The sample size of 349 was generated using Fisher Lang, Stockel and Townsend method of determining sample size. The multi-stage sampling procedure was adopted in selecting respondents for the study. Questionnaire schedule was used to collect quantitative data while in-depth interviews were used to collect qualitative data. The quantitative data were processed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Windows, Version 17. Also, descriptive statistics like frequency distribution tables, simple percentages and graphic illustrations were used to analyze the quantitative data while manual content analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data. Findings of the study indicate that majority of the citizens are ready and willing to assist police in their effort to control crime. They also indicated high level of satisfaction with police services since they cooperate with members of the community in crime control. The study therefore recommended among others that the police and members of the public’s willingness to participate in activities that would ensure community safety should be seen and not mere media reports. Also, the police should eschew those behaviours that discourage the public from working with them.

Privatisation as an Engine of Economic Diversification in Kabwe District of Central Zambia
Silongwa Simakando & Lucy Kamboni – October 2021- Page No.: 71-76
This study aimed at assessing privatisation as an engine of economic diversification in Kabwe District of Central Zambia. Despite some studies arguing that privatisation subjected former employees to harsh economic conditions due to the loss of their jobs, this study argues that privatisation was an engine of economic diversification in Kabwe. This was because privatisation opened up new doors for former workers to come up with other economic activities that enabled them to earn a living. Instead of experiencing economic retrogression as suggested by some studies, former workers from the privatised parastatals engaged themselves in other economic activities like trading and farming which enabled them to live far much better lives as compared to the time when they were still in employment. The study further discusses that privatisation benefited not only former workers, but the entire community of Kabwe District. Apart from the people of Kabwe, Zambia at large and other parts of the world benefitted from the privatisation of Kabwe’s parastatals. Therefore, the findings of this study will help people within and outside Kabwe to appreciate privatisation as a blessing and not a curse

The Impact of Money Market Dynamics on the Economic Growth of Nigeria
Oluwaseun Okikiola – October 2021- Page No.: 77-85
The notion that monetary policy is a panacea for economic growth remains empirically subjected to open research. This study tries to close up the knowledge gap by examining the impact of monetary policy on economic growth in Nigeria for the period 2010 to 2019. This study examined the impact of the monetary policy, influence of dynamics in the money market as well as the influence of deposit and lending activities of the money market on the growth of the Nigerian economy. Preliminary analysis shows evidence of long run equilibrium relationship which implies that the variables exhibit a common deterministic trend. By the regression estimates, Monetary Policy (MPR) has a significant and positive impact on Economic Growth (b= 0.021, t= 3.86, p < 0.05), Government Lending Activities has a significant and negative influence on Economic Growth (b= -0.045, t= -2.52, p < 0.05), and deposit activities (SADR) has a significant and positive impact on Economic Growth (b= 0.038, t= 3.463, p < 0.05). While lending rate has a significant and negative influence on Economic Growth (b= -0.020, t= -1.986, p < 0.05), the inverse relationship between lending rates and lending activity (with lower lending rate leading to higher lending activities, and vice-versa), a positive relationship exists between lending activities and economic growth. The results of the impact of monetary policy on economic growth in Nigeria depicts the nature of the financial structure, characterized by a low level of development. Monetary policy and deposit activities impact the economy positively. Therefore, the study recommends that measures to further promote monetary policy and deposits activities be put in place to promote economic growth. Policies at stimulating market forces to the right direction be considered.

Celebrities Campaign on Social Media to Get Justice for Rape Victims: A Study on Two Rape Incidents in Nigeria
Kourtney Oluwakemi Sunday, Dr. Amodu Lanre, Dr. Olusola Oyero, Opeyemi Olaoluwa Oredola – October 2021- Page No.: 86-91
The world is acquainted with social media revolution. It is no longer news that social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Telegram, Skype and many more are used as a tool for airing our opinions and sharing our views pertaining to various trivial issues around the globe. Celebrities on a daily basis use social media for lots of things and they have the power to influence or provoke change on any matter of social interest.
Most times victims of sexual assault tend to shy away from seeking justice due to the fear of being stigmatized; and when they voice out and celebrities go on social media to push for justice, it’s only a matter of time before the hype for justice dies down and victims are left shattered while their abusers go unpunished. This has been a trend for sometime now where at the beginning there’s so much hype to get justice and then it all dies down.
This study aimed to explore the outcome of celebrity campaign on social media to push for justice for two rape victims – Uwa and Barakat.
Questionnaire and content analysis methods have been used for this study. Questionnaire was used to determine the most used social media while content analysis was used to analyze posts with the hash tags #justice for Uwa and Barakat on the most used social media platform. Findings have revealed that celebrities push for justice for the case of Uwa and Barakat has tremendously led to the arrest of culprits involved in less than few days since the incident occurred.
However, the use of social media by celebrities as a tool in following up cases of rape is not popular in literature as it should be an important factor in fighting against sexual assault and getting justice for victims. Not much has been done in regards to celebrities using social media as a tool for social change particularly on the issue of sexual assault. It is imperative that celebrities utilize social media in following up cases of sexual assault and see it through till the very end as this will not only change the norm but will eventually serve as an eye opener to sex offenders that they won’t go unpunished.

Media Strategies in Conflict Transformation: The Case of Cameroon Broadcast Media Coverage of the Anglophone Conflict
Beng Primus Fang – October 2021- Page No.: 92-100
The African continent is encountering numerous armed conflicts, some of which have been blamed on mass media. In these numerous armed conflicts that Africa is experiencing, the media, in view of the roles it plays in a society automatically becomes a key player in either fueling the conflicts or resolving them. Since 2016, Cameroon has been the epicenter of intrastate conflict with devastating consequences. With the proliferation of the broadcast media, the deepening of the conflict is not unconnected to the media. The media has played and continue to play a major role in the ongoing conflict. This study explored the role played by the broadcast media and examined the media strategies put in place by the broadcast media to minimize the occurrence of violence. Social Responsibility Theory of reporting was used to anchor this study. The study employs a mixed research design (qualitative and quantitative). Surveys and 110 interviews were administered to the audience and journalists respectively in Bamenda, Buea on a face-to-face and self-administered basis. Key findings of this study reveal that majority of the respondents (60.4%) are of the opinion that the broadcast media played the role of conflict escalation and majority of the journalists interviewed also shared the same view. Over 60% of the respondents hold that restructuring the content of broadcast media is major strategy to be employed in times of conflict. Content restructure of broadcast media is also recommended by journalists interviewed. The implication of the findings of this study is that it will add to existing literature in the field of peace, conflict transformation and communication. The research will serve as a platform for journalists to understand how to communicate during conflict.

Homework Policy Implementation in Selected Primary Schools of Kalabo District in Western Province of Zambia: Prospects and Challenges
Violet Mwanamwambwa, Kalisto Kalimaposo, Kaiko Mubita, Patrick Sikayomya, Muyangana Akombelwa and Nicholas Haambokoma – October 2021- Page No.: 101-108
This study explored homework policy implementation in selected primary schools of Kalabo district in Western Province of Zambia with particular focus on prospect and challenges. The study objectives were to establish the challenges pupils and parents encountered when given homework and to assess the prospects of giving homework to pupils in selected primary schools of Kalabo district. The study used a qualitative approach with the target population that consisted of three government primary schools in Kalabo district. The sample size comprised a total of 27 participants apportioned as three teachers, nine parents /guardians, and fifteen pupils from the three government schools selected. The three schools in Kalabo district were selected conveniently while the teachers, parents / guardians and pupils from each school were selected purposively. The research instruments used were semi-structured interview guides and focus group discussion guide. The study found that learners and parents encountered a number of challenges, it was observed that some parents did not want to help their children in answering their homework because they believed it was the role of the teachers to do so and not parents. The study established that despite these challenges learning through homework proved that teachers were engaging parents in the education of their children so that they could help them learn from what they knew in their environment. The prospects of giving homework to learners at selected primary schools were that: homework provided learners with an opportunity to improve the academic performance, it opened up the minds of learners to interact with friends to arouse the interest of learners, and they learnt how to manage their time and kept them in constant touch with school work. Parents did not regularly check their children’s homework because they were busy with work, farming and doing business which depicted a negative response towards their children’s homework. In view of the above findings, the study recommended that teachers should ensure that they give homework to learners which is manageable so that they finish on time and parents should help their children with homework by creating enough time for them.

The Role of Religious Textbooks in Sri Lankan Schools in Promoting Social Relationship
MHA Munas, A.M.M. Hijas – October 2021- Page No.: 109-115
Sri Lanka is a multicultural country composed of the societies such as Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Catholics and Christians. It is seen that the contemporary society diverges from the footing of social reconciliation due to the responsiveness to violence, disparity, and economic inequity and affected by the disparity in region and ethnicity. This concept of reconciliation should be educated among individuals, families, and society. The hypothesis of this study is that if this concept of reconciliation is sowed during the childhood, the future of Sri Lanka is prosperous. The objective of this study is to assess and analyse the concept of reconciliation defined in the religious text of Grade 10 and recommend the strategies and suggestions to build up the ethnic coherence. The data used in this data are collected from the primary and secondary sources. It is found in this study that there is an exclusive unit seen in the textbook of Buddhist religion. The ethnic reconciliation is sowed directly and indirectly in five places and three places respectively in the textbook. In the textbook of Hinduism religion, the concept of ethnic reconciliation is seen indirectly in the three places. It is seen straightforwardly and indirectly in the three places and in the four places respectively in the textbook of Islamic religion. In the textbook of Christianity, the concept of ethnic reconciliation is stated directly and indirectly in the three places and in the two places respectively. In the textbook of Catholic religion, the ethnic reconciliation is stated directly and indirectly in one place and in the three places respectively. In addition, it is found that it indicates the insufficiency of the concept of ethnic reconciliation in the textbooks of the religion. It is recommended to design an exclusive subject for the ethnic reconciliation in the school textbooks and suggest educational tours in the schools motivating the ethnic reconciliation.

The effects of institutional, attitudinal, environmental and financial challenges on the academic performance of learners with physical disabilities in the school: A case of one selected Special School in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia
Penda Annie, Kandimba Humphry, Jordan Nyirenda – October 2021- Page No.: 135-145
This manuscript is a study on the effects of institutional, attitudinal, environmental and financial challenges on academic performance on learners with physical disabilities face in schools in Zambia. The study was conducted at Dagama School for the Physically Challenged in Luanshya district. The site was selected because it had learners with physical disabilities. The instruments for data collection included the semi-structured interview schedule for school administrators, focused group discussion for class teachers and learners with physical disabilities, and observation checklist for class teachers and the natural surroundings.
The study found that learners with physical disabilities faced challenges in the school and these were difficult in accessing the common bathrooms, mobility problems due to lack of crutches and wheelchairs, poor lighting system in the classrooms and corridors, negative attitude of parents and school administrators towards the learners, unmodified curriculum, being taught by untrained special teachers, inadequate teaching and learning materials, lack of support from the parents, poor payment of school fees by parents, limited support from the well-wishers and little funding from the government. The effects of the challenges on the learners’ academic performance included mobility problems, reporting late for lessons, promotion of dependence syndrome and absenteeism, losing of marks in compulsory and practical subjects, being passive in the class, teachers not providing the necessary skills required by the learners, no prescribed textbooks and psychological effect.
The study discovered the measures such as modification of the common bathroom infrastructure, curriculum, maintaining the existing ramps, rails, paved pathways, and double doors, orientations of new teachers in special education, improving the lighting system in the classrooms and corridors, training more teachers in special education, acquisition of appropriate teaching and learning materials, government increasing funding to the school, offering bursaries, involving into self-help activities like farming and fundraising ventures and commitment of the parents to paying school fees and provision of school commodities for the children.

The Changing Dynamics of Kidnapping in Nigeria and Implications for National Development
Henry Terna Ahom, & Kenneth T. Azaigba – October 2021- Page No.: 146-149
Kidnapping for ransom before the 1990s was not a very prominent form of criminality until the Niger Delta militants began using it to press home their demands for redress to perceived injustices done their region. Ransom payment made kidnapping a very attractive crime and it spread from the Niger Delta region to all parts of Southern Nigeria. From Southern Nigeria, kidnapping for ransom spread to the Northern part of the country and was embraced by criminal gangs and terrorist groups such as Boko Haram; an Islamic group fighting a war of insurgency in the North East. This opened a new vista of criminality in Nigeria. Since then it has grown in proportion to a much sought after criminal act by criminally minded persons due to the high monetary gains involved. With the aid of mainly secondary sources, the paper uses both narrative and analytical tools to dilate on contours of the problem. It argues that kidnapping has festered in the country due to the introduction of ransom and this is generating damning implications for national development. The paper makes suggestions on ways to contain the hydra headed act of criminality currently ravaging the country.

Analysis of the Grammatical Passive Voice in English and Chinese, a Comparison between the Two Languages
Amerigo Quatrini – October 2021- Page No.: 150-156
The usage of the grammatical passive voice in English and Chinese is analyzed and investigated by this study, making a comparison of the two different approaches Chinese and English have. When using a different language, different rules and customs are bound to appear, hence a different form of the passive voice with its different rules and usages is very likely to appear as well: this research highlights the differences between the two language and gives and insights for learners of either language. The reasons why the passive voice is used in both language and how are explained. The main features of both passive voices are also described.

The use of ICT in teaching of Geography in selected schools of Petauke district in eastern province of Zambia
Cosmas Chirwa and Kaiko Mubita – October 2021- Page No.: 157-167
This article explored the use of ICT in teaching of Geography to pupils in selected schools of Petauke district in eastern province Zambia. Objective of this article was; to establish the types of ICT materials available for teaching Geography in secondary schools in Petauke District, Zambia, to explore the extent to which ICT devices/platforms were being integrated in the teaching and learning of geography in selected schools of Petauke district; and to suggest the best means of integrating ICT’s in teaching and learning of geography in selected schools of Petauke district.
A qualitative approach with a descriptive study design was used to collect data through in-depth interviews and observations. A total of twenty-eight (28) respondents were involved in the study and the information collected was thematically analysed with the guidance of Braun and Clarke’s (2006) six phase framework. The study revealed that computers, laptops, projectors, printers, smartphones and tablets were among the widely used ICT devices in the teaching and learning of Geography in the selected schools of Petauke district. However, these devices were very few and could not cover the needs of every learner or teacher due to the resource to user ratio, which proved highly unsustainable. The findings showed that integration of ICTs was hindered by the unavailability and shortage of resources. The findings further pointed out that teachers and learners lacked in skill to use most ICT resources beyond these resources’ basic functions. According to the findings, the conclusion drawn was that to enhance effective integration of ICTs in the teaching and learning of Geography, teachers and learners need to be provided with adequate ICTs resources in their teaching and learning of Geography. It is also important for school management to provide adequate funding to enable its Teachers to attend workshops where they can gain skills and knowledge for integrating ICTs in the teaching and learning of Geography.

Influence of Organizational Trust on Effectiveness of University Registries in South-West Nigeria
Dada, Racheal Olufumilola, Owolabi, Ruth Onajite. – October 2021- Page No.: 168-177
Organizational effectiveness of University registries is particularly important because of the vital role registry plays in university administration. Different studies have indicated that university registries have been encountering a number of problems including high level of mistrust on individual basis and at administrative level. This study investigated the influence of organizational trust on effectiveness of university registries in South–West Nigeria. Survey research design was adopted for this study. The population comprised 2,282 staff of university registries in South–West Nigeria. Random sampling technique was adopted using Taro Yamane sample size determination formula to select three hundred and forty registry staff. A validated structured questionnaire was administered. Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients for the constructs ranged from 0.87 to 0.88. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed that organizational trust significantly influenced organizational effectiveness (Adj R2 = 0.660, F(3, 336) = 20.255, p < 0.05) of university registries in South-West Nigeria. The study concluded that organizational trust is important in achieving organizational effectiveness in university registries. The study recommended that university management in South-West Nigeria should enhance organizational effectiveness of their registries by giving room for honesty, respect, integrity, justice, accountability, trustworthiness cooperation and quality among employee and the administration, also by investing in the training of registry staff in South West Nigeria.

Assessment of health service delivery trainings of Barangay Health Workers in Selected Barangays of Kiblawan, Davao del Sur.
Remie Rose A. Niňal, Roel Jr. D. Apas – October 2021- Page No.: 178-188
The study primarily assessed the health service delivery trainings that determined the competence of Barangay Health Workers (BHWs) in Kiblawan, Davao del Sur. It also determined the effect of trainings and the motivating factors and perceived benefits of attending such trainings. The descriptive-correlational technique was applied with a questionnaire representing as the primary method of data collection. Total Enumeration has been used to select participants in conducting the study. Statistical tools such as, Percentage, Mean, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were employed. Results showed that majority of the respondents were 45 years old and above, high school graduates, married, with 1-3 number of trainings attended, and capable of serving the community for over ten years. Findings revealed that BHWs were competent in dealing and handling the health concerns of the community and showed that the trainings they have attended were effective. However, Barangay officials’ allotment of financial resources for BHW’s trainings and seminars was recommended so that they could properly deliver the healthcare services to their constituents.The relationship between the demographic profile and the competence of barangay health workers, as well as the effect of trainings, was discovered to be significant. Therefore, the hypothesis formulated was rejected. On the other hand, for the second hypothesis, the findings revealed that the relationship between the Competence of Barangay Health Workers and the Effect of Trainings is significant and the hypothesis formulated is also rejected.

Research Self-Efficacy, Interest in Research and Research Knowledge of Graduate Students
Jovelyn G Delosa, Charity Rose A Pagara, Edralin C. Manla – October 2021- Page No.: 189-193
One of the goals of graduate education is to produce graduates equipped with excellent research skills. With the challenges on the quality education and demands on excellence, the current priority of the Commission of Higher Education is on research. Graduate schools offering graduate programs are mandated to guide students develop the research skills expected of them. The purpose of this study is to determine how specific factors such as research efficacy and research interest contributed to research knowledge of the students. The participants of the study are the Master’s and Doctoral student enrolled in the school. The study utilized descriptive research design. The results showed that the Graduate students have good research interest and good level of self-efficacy, but poor research knowledge. Moreover, there is a significant contribution of interest in research to research knowledge, but a negative contribution of research self-efficacy to students’ research knowledge. These findings imply that the development of the graduate students’ research interest should be prioritized by the School of Education. These also denotes that there could be other factors to be looked into that may have contribution to students’ research knowledge, not only efficacy and interest.

Inonge Milupi D., Kaiko Mubita, Pauline Namakau Monde, Steriah M. Simooya, Juliet Namukoko, Mwenya Tembo, Wiza C. Nakombe and Fortune Mufana – October 2021- Page No.: 206-209
The purpose of this study was to examine the extent of community participation in natural resource management in Mumbwa Game Management Area of Zambia. Quantitative and qualitative data were gathered through interviews and surveys in the case-study area. The data were analysed with descriptive statistics. The study found that local community participation in wildlife resource management was passive in the study area. This was because the Department of National Parks and Wildlife was not actively engaging the local community in decision-making process of wildlife resource management in the area. The study recommends that the is active participation of the community in managing wildlife resources in the study area would ensure the sustainability of natural resources and hence promote an effective Community Based Natural Resource programme in Mumbwa Game Management area.

Challenges of the New Retirement Age for Teachers in Selected Government Primary Schools of Sioma District, Western Zambia
Songiso Mutafela, Kalisto Kalimaposo, Harrison Daka, Simeon Mbewe & Kaiko Mubita – October 2021- Page No.: 210-218
The focus of this study was to investigate challenges of the New Retirement Age for teachers in selected government primary schools of Sioma District of Western Zambia. The study evoked qualitative approach using descriptive research design. A sample of 32 participants comprising twenty-four class teachers and eight school managers was purposefully and conveniently drawn from four government primary schools in Sioma District.
Data were collected through questionnaires as well as interview guides. Analysis of data was done thematically where merging and emerging themes were presented in a descriptive form as findings of the study.
The study found that majority of teachers interviewed in Sioma District were not in favour of the New Retirement Age. Most of the participants expressed willingness to retire at the age of fifty-five so that they could get their benefits and start a new life while they were still energetic. In addition, the study found that there was a lot of stigma against older teachers which had affected work relationships in most schools as younger teachers accused the older ones of being fatigued and unwilling to accept change or innovation, especially technological changes in education. The younger teachers also complained about less promotions opportunities in the Ministry as the older teachers were still holding on to most senior positions. It was further reported by majority of participants talked to that accommodation in rural schools had become a great challenge for teachers because some of the houses were still occupied by older teachers who could have retired two or three years ago
Therefore, the study recommended that the Zambian government should revise the current retirement age to provide for two options only; 55 years normal and 60 years late retirement and that the Ministry of General Education should introduce performance based salaries.

A Cross-Sectional Survey on the Availability and Use of Instructional Aids in the Teaching of Ghanaian Language in Senior High Schools
Ernest Adom, Kafui Love Mensah, Getrude Kuttin, Agbodza Derrick, Ernest Nyamekye – October 2021- Page No.: 219-225
This cross-sectional study assessed the availability and use of instructional aids in the teaching and learning of Ghanaian languages in Senior High Schools in the Mfantsiman Municipality of Central Region, Ghana. Through a proportionate stratified sampling method, 210 respondents were selected from four public Senior High Schools located in the Mfantsiman Municipality of the Central Region. The respondents included 201 students and 9 instructors. The primary data collection tool used for data gathering was a self-developed questionnaire. Following a descriptive analysis of the quantitative data, it was discovered that visual aids are the most readily available and frequently used instructional aids for the teaching of Ghanaian languages in the selected Senior High Schools within the Mfantsipim Municipality. It was also revealed that instructors of Ghanaian languages seldom utilized audio and audio-visual aids to support their classroom instruction and the reason for this mishap was the insufficiency of such forms of instructional aids. In light of these findings, the study recommended that Ghanaian language instructors, with the assistance of the Ghana Education Service, be equipped with the necessary instructional tools in order to make the teaching and learning of Ghanaian languages an enjoyable experience for students.

Dr. Ernest Jebolise Chukwuka, Dr. Fidelis U. Amahi – October 2021- Page No.: 226-241
Tourism is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. It embraces areas of Physical attractions like falls and rocks and so on; Manmade like amusement and holiday resorts; Wild life based attractions like games, gardens and fishing grounds; Cultural attractions like festivals, arts and crafts; Sports like local, regional and international; and Business tourism like seminars conferences and meetings. The focus of this study is to investigate the effects of medical Tourism on Nigerian economic development. In line with the objectives of the study, the researcher adopted survey design method which made use of primary sources (mainly with questionnaire and observation). This work was analyzed quantitatively with simple percentage and the hypotheses were tested with Chi-square to validate the findings. The result revealed that medical tourism has significant effect on economic growth of Nigeria. The result further shows that medical tourism has positive effect on small and medium scale enterprise in Nigeria. The result also highlights the problems facing medical tourism in Nigeria and under-development of the health system. It was observed that the culture of Nigerians preferring anything foreign is also a contributory factor to the mass exodus of Nigerians for medical treatment outside the country. The study therefore recommended that there should be adequate funding, improved health care facilities, better remuneration and motivation for health workers in order to improve health care system and reduce medical tourism, there should be immediate ban of government sponsored medical treatment abroad, adequate training, enforcement of legal action against medical negligence, improved medical research and encouraging foreign investment and that Government should intensify vigorously the marketing and promotion of Nigeria cultural, historical and archaeological treasures

Comparing Official and Public Attitudes towards Solar Energy in Botswana: The Case of Domestic Solar Water Heaters in Gaborone
Magdeline Cleopatra Nondo – October 2021- Page No.: 242-271
This study set out to compare household attitudes towards the use of domestic solar energy with those of government officials, with specific reference to Solar Water Heaters (SWHs) in the City of Gaborone in Botswana. The specific objectives were; i) To establish household perceptions and attitudes towards SWHs ii) To find out official attitudes towards SWHs and iii) To analyze determinants of household attitudes towards SWHs.
Data to address these objectives was generated using the mixed methods research design whereby both qualitative and quantitative data were gathered simultaneously to determine attitudes of both officials and the public towards domestic solar energy. A sample of 400 households consisting of low and high-income residential areas was selected using the Taro Yamane’s formula, Old Naledi represented low income and Village represented high income. Approximately 264 households were interviewed in Old Naledi, and 136 in the Village. This was complemented by key informant interviews involving officials from the Department of Energy Affairs, Department of Environmental Affairs and distributors of SWHs involving solar power and solar hart. The key instrument for quantitative data collection was a semi-structured questionnaire, whereas interview guides were used to generate qualitative data. The key findings of the study are that that the public is aware of solar energy and its uses, and have a positive attitude towards its adoption in the form of SWHs on condition that they are reliable, cost effective and user friendly. Officials too had a positive attitude towards domestic solar energy but did not invest as much effort in promoting its adoption as they did in promoting conventional energy. The Government has taken good initiatives to promote solar energy, but they do not succeed due to apparent lack of commitment. The results of the study also show that SWHs are not adequately marketed by their distributors and this has contributed to the current adoption rate among the public.
In conclusion, the results of this study support the need for awareness building and capacity building from both the government officials and distributors of SWHs for the adoption of domestic solar energy to meet the escalating demands for energy in a manner that does not harm the environment. Based on these results, the study has made recommendations for policy, the public and future research.

Implementation of Industrial Incubators to Improve Enterprise Intention in East Java Indonesia
Tanto Gatot Sumarsono, Sih Hanto, Suatmo Pantja Putra, Priyo Sudibyo – October 2021- Page No.: 283-287
Entrepreneurship intentions among students in East Java are carried out by analyzing business incubators and local business potentials in East Java Province. Several research findings indicate that business activities that are prospective for development in the East Java region are quite diverse and are carried out by entrepreneurs in the region, while the growth of young entrepreneurs is still limited. The potential of the business sector that can be developed by young people in East Java can be a means to create young entrepreneurs. Here, there is no maximum effort to develop business activities on micro, small, or medium scale products. In addition, local governments and universities have given their role to foster entrepreneurship in community groups including young people, however, it is still not optimal. Finally, the incubator business development is carried out to develop entrepreneurial intentions among students.

Policy Brief Pregnancy School Re-entry policy in Zambia
Namakau Kakanda Sinkala – October 2021- Page No.: 288-290
I. WHAT IS THE ISSUE?
Teenage pregnancy is a global problem which interferes with the education of the girl child. This ends up perpetuating social injustice against females by making them vulnerable to poverty.
Promotion of social justice through gender equality is at the center of development. The ideology of women’s empowerment through formal and non -formal education is a critical area of development which the United Nations has been championing.
Adolescent girls’ education was amplified by the Beijing platform of action of 1995 which emphasized on the need to intellectually nurture the girl child as she grows into a woman (Beijing Declaration & Platform for Action , 1995).
Some African countries including Zambia introduced Re-entry policy as a strategy to enable teenage mothers to continue their education. It was assumed that teenage mothers would take advantage of the Re-entry policy to continue their education after childbirth. This has not been the case as teen mothers’ re-entry across countries including Zambia established that significant number of teenage mothers are not re-entering (Nyariro, 2018).

Impact of China’s Monetary Aid on Kenya’s Public Debt Stock
Siocha Justin Nyaberi, Dr. Ichani Francis, Dr. Omagwa Job – October 2021- Page No.: 291-299
The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of China’s Monetary Aid on Public Debt. The key literature reviewed from various sources showed that a number of China’s monetary aid in form of concessional loans, grants and interest free loans had great impact on the public debt many Sub-Saharan African countries, Kenya being the classic example under study. Realism theory was used to theoretically analyse the study in the behaviour of China’s aid to Kenya as largely self-seeking. The study adopted an exploratory research design. The target population was limited to two Kenyan government ministries, IR scholars and economic experts and the embassy of the Peoples’ Republic of China in Kenya, the total population under study was 700. This study applied purposive sampling technique in selecting a sample size of 70 respondents. Documents, questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data. The study found that monetary aid from China as concessional loans, grants and interest free loans have direct positive impact on the Kenya’s public debt to a large extent when measuring it through the real GDP growth. The study findings established that China’s aid in form of concessional loans do not only come with a tag of ‘zero-or-no interest loans but also are attractive for their non-conditionality to the recipient countries hence preferred to those others from OECD-DAC which have constant regulations. The study recommended that the government of Kenya to reduce its external borrowing and embrace savings, external debts require consistence debt servicing unlike debts from domestic borrowing. The study further recommended that Kenya should reconsider its competitive advantage in manufacturing, sisal, tea, leather and coffee exports to the Chinese mainstream economy so as to meet the aspect of fair and balance of trade. An area for further study would be on the Debt-Trap Diplomacy claims associated with China aid policies to Sub-Saharan African countries.

Efficacy of Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination as a Predictor of First Year Social Science Students’ Achievement in University of Jos, Nigeria
Mr. Jan, Nagwe Cajetan; Prof. Emaikwu, Sunday Oche & Dr. Agi, Christiana Ikponya – October 2021- Page No.: 303-309
This study investigated the efficacy of Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) as a predictor of first year Social Science students’ achievement in University of Jos, Nigeria. Four research objectives with corresponding research questions were raised to guide the study while four hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The research design used in the study was ex-post facto. The population of the study comprises 1,774 students in department of Economics, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology. The sample size for the study was 326 students which were drawn through the use of Taro-Yamane formula for sample size determination and multi stage sampling procedure was employed to arrive at the sample. The study required the collection and analysis of existing data from official records. The instrument for data collection was a pro-forma which was validated by two experts. Data for the study were collected with the help of a research assistant who was a staff in the registry department, University of Jos. Data collected were analyzed using regression to answer the research questions and to test the null hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed that students UTME scores predicts their CGPA in the four departments (Economics, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology) in University of Jos for 2015/2016 session. Based on the findings of the study, the study concludes that students in the University of Jos in the department of Economics, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology were admitted based on their scores in UTME since there is correlation between their UTME scores and their achievements. The study recommended that admission to prospective students in University of Jos into all departments should be given strictly based on students’ scores in Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

Environmental Protection for Sustainable Development in Nigeria
John-Adegbesan, Ekwi & Prof. Nwaorgu, Omenihu Chiemela – October 2021- Page No.: 310-314
This paper assessed environmental protection for sustainable development in Nigeria. It is a well-known fact that across the globe, there is a penchant to initiate policies and programmes that can protect the environment, and at the same time, engender sustainable development, given that a sustainable environment is the foundation of every meaningful development. Data for the study were drawn from published materials and Key Informant Interview (KII). The interviewees were made up of environmental activists and members of civil society organisations. Data for the study were analysed through content analysis, with attention to logical sequence of data. The study found that even though Nigeria parades a good number of environmental protection laws and policies, the challenge remains that there is little or no conscious effort at development, let alone sustainable development. The study recommended, among other things, the need for collective action towards sustainable development.

Influence of Principals’ Adherence to Infrastructure Standards and Disaster Management on Disaster Management in Public Secondary Schools in Nyeri County, Kenya
Hawa Omari, Dr. Susan Chepkonga, Dr. Justus Mochama Gori, Dr. Mwaura Kimani – October 2021- Page No.: 315-322
The objective to the study was establishing the influence of adherence to infrastructure standards on disaster management on safety standards on disaster management in public secondary schools in Nyeri County, Kenya. The researcher used the descriptive survey research design. This work targeted 208 public secondary schools which comprised of 208 principals and 1040 heads of departments in Nyeri County. 15% was used to select 21 principals and 21schools for interviewing and observation checklist respectively. To validate research instruments, a pilot study was carried in 21 schools (10%) of the targeted 208 Schools. Reliability of the research instruments was done using test-retest method. A sample of 30% for heads of department and 10% for principals was considered effective to the study. Stratified sampling method and a mixed method approach were used. Qualitative data was collected from the principals using interview schedule while Quantitative data were collected using questionnaires from head of departments and the checklist was used to confirm the availability of safety policies, infrastructure and equipment. Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used to analyse hypothesis one, two, three, four and five. All ethical issues pertaining to research were observed. SPSS was used to compute the data. The study established that staff awareness of safety and adherence of infrastructure standards had a negative and strong significant level while training of staff and policy implementation of safety standards had a significant contribution to disaster management. Monitoring and evaluation of safety standards had positive and strong significant contribution to disaster management. The following recommendation was that the MoE and TSC ought to ensure that the principals implement the safety policy in schools which may lead to adherence to infrastructure standards on disaster management.

Cultural Practices and National Development: The Case of Uparuba Festival among the Isua Akoko of South East Nigeria
ADEJUBE Ojo Bodunde, OJIKE Ngozi Amarachi – October 2021- Page No.: 323-328
The observation and celebration of festivals is central to African cultural heritage with due social, political and economic relevance. This paper examined the celebration of Uparuba festival in Isua Akoko, not just as a yearly festival celebration but Jubilee celebration (Odun Jubili), to appease the deity for the remission of sins and atrocities against the cultural norms of the land and also to request for divine intervention and prosperous jubilee year. The focal horizon for the exploration into the study is to; investigate the historical background of Isua Akoko amidst reasons motivating origin for the celebration of Uparuba, purposes of the festival, modus operandi and its significance to the developments of Isua Akoko. In achieving this, the research made use of ethnographic research which was largely gleaned from primary sources and made use of the Structural Functionalist theory, which explains social stratification. The research argues that, the celebration of Uparuba Festival in Isua Akoko has not only brought development into the community, the celebration also protects the society against both internal and external attacks. It protects them from epidemic situations through the celebration, the role of litigation despite civilization is still not well pronounced as crime related issues are still solved communally. This increases the consciousness of the people of Isua Akoko to the genuineness and unfading nature of her cultural heritage. The research outlines some recommendations for future research, one of which is reduction in the excessive use of local gin to ameliorate one of the preaching of the festival.

The Attitudes of Victims of House-breaking on their being Victimized in Sri Lanka
Prof. M.W. Jayasundara – October 2021- Page No.: 329-338
As a developing country, Sri Lanka faces many problems, and presently they show an increasing trend. Among them, social disparities, terrorism, traffic in illegal narcotics, and crime are predominant. The term ‘housebreaking, in Sri Lanka is similar to ‘burglary’ in other countries. After 2015, the definition of housebreaking and theft had been changed to ‘house breaking’ as the term implies theft is included in housebreaking. This study draws on the housebreaking rates prevalent in Sri Lanka from 2006 to 2020, which records a considerable decrease in the number of housebreaking from 95.7 in 2006 to 30.7 in 2020. The research problem is primarily concerned with the impacts of house-breaking as a property crime, and how far it has affected the normal life of the citizens of the country as it stands at 20.9% of the total number of grave crimes of the country. Therefore, this study was aimed at finding the nature and the impacts of housebreaking on victims. Sixty victims of the housebreaking were selected to achieve the targets of the study from a convenient sample, adding 1-9 housebreaking from a police station chosen from selected eight districts. The data were collected by using a semi-structured interview schedule administered to the victims of housebreaking. The findings of the study revealed that the many house-breakers were unknown to the victims except the fact that 18.3% of offenders were their relatives and neighbours. The majority 63.4% of the victims were involved in businesses and government sector employment and comparatively, they were rich people in the community to be targeted by the offenders for house-breaking. The main target of the burglars was the money and gold on some occasions they had stolen mobile phones, television and other household electronics items. The victims had identified 30% of the housebreakers and they were drug addicts and alcoholics who had committed burglary to finance their drugs. The impact of the housebreaking was financial loss, mental pain and anxiety caused to the majority of the victims. The victims have taken measures to prevent revictimization by ensuring security of their residences as well as of their valubels.The study proposes reducing drug addiction and target hardening on burglars would minimize the house-breaking of the country.

Indigenous Water, Sanitation and Hygienic WaSH Practices: The Case of the IP Community in Barangay Lower Panaga, Panabo, Philippines
Sabar G. Hasan, Jevannel G. Borlio, Junard P. Duterte – October 2021- Page No.: 339-342
Every Filipino has a right to good health, especially those individuals who belong to marginalized sectors. This study explores the health realities of the members of Indigenous People (IP) community in Panabo City, with the hope to promote Basic Health Science Education (HSE) to these indigenous peoples. Utilizing an adapted and modified Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) questionnaire, it was revealed that the way of life of the IPs in Barangay Lower Panaga had been influenced by the non-IP population they live with. It is evident that they already have improved knowledge, attitude and practices in the way they manage water, sanitation, solid waste, and hygiene promotion. However, it also emerged from the results the lack of knowledge of these IP members on the government programs they can avail, especially on health care services. Apparently, there are still indigenous practices they employ in their daily lives, which usually lead to poor health outcomes compared to their non-IP counterparts. Like any other IP communities, financial unstableness remains evident in this area. Hence, this study documented the realities of life of the indigenous peoples to stimulate the attention of the local leaders, especially those in the academe to pass over pedagogical efforts in helping this marginalized sector. It is hoped and expected that education can bring light to one of the identified Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDAs) in Davao del Norte.

Physical Neglect has become the Most Common Category of Child Neglect in Sri Lanka
Himalshi Serasinghe – October 2021- Page No.: 343-349
Neglecting the child could be a factor for generating mentally and physically ill people all around the world. Child neglect has simply defined the avoidance of primary care and failure to provide basic facilities including food, clothing, healthcare, education for the child by their parents or guardian. Child neglect considers as the most prevalent category of child abuse not only in Sri Lanka but also worldwide. Child welfare specialists form common categories of neglect including physical neglect, medical neglect, inadequate supervision, environmental neglect, emotional neglect, educational neglect. Though previous researchers have identified all the above categories of child neglect, there is no research have done to identify the most common category of child neglect in the Sri Lankan Context. The objective of this study is to identify the most common category of child neglect in Gampaha district, western province, Sri Lanka. Primary data were collected using mixed research method. Distributed structured questionnaires (N=134) and conducted semi-structured interviews (N=10) from neglected children who were reported in Gampaha District, Sri Lanka. The researcher used descriptive statistics, factor analysis, and content analysis for analyzing purposes. The findings show the physical neglect is the most common type of child neglect while the cognitive neglect type has the lowest respondents. Supervision and emotional neglect indicated third and fourth places respectively. Government should take necessary action in assigning relevant officers including Child Rights Promoting Officers, Social Workers, Gramasewaka, and active officers for the relevant committees in order to spot children who are neglected by their families.

Nicholas Torsabo, Rose Ezekiel – October 2021- Page No.: 350-357
The aim of this research is to explore the relationship and effect of work environment on employees’ retention in Adamawa State University Mubi – Nigeria. A total of 234 questionnaires containing 17 items were used to collect data from the respondents. Correlation and Linear Regression analysis was conducted to test the research hypotheses. The Correlation Results of the current study revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between work environment and employees’ retention (r = 0.556; p = 0.000) also, the Regression analysis results revealed that work environment has positive significant effect on employees’ retention (β = 0.329; p = 0.000). The model summary results revealed that work environment independently influence employees’ retention by 30.9%. Hence the researchers recommend that, employers in this sector should implement holistic approach in retention management so as to ensure they develop total packages which offer their employees requisite retention incentives. The study concluded that work environment is an effective predictor of employee retention. The researchers therefore recommend that institution administrators should strive to ensure continue improvement in the work environment since it significantly enhances institutions’ retention ability. Finally the study recommends that employers in tertiary institutions should strive towards broadening the spectrum of the work environment they can provide for their employees.

Attitude, Duties and Responsibilities: The Hallmark of Self-Regulators in Business Practicum Program
Amelie L. Chico, DM, FRIM; Vicente Salvador E. Montaño, DBA – October 2021- Page No.: 358-364
Present research in self-regulated learning focused on contextualized task, which allow students to generalized learning. However, few researches delve on the role of the practicum program and the host-training establishment in measuring self-regulated learning among graduating business students. The study investigates the significant presence of self-regulated learners among practicum students through the significant relationship between grade point average and the supervisor rated practicum performance. All the 135 business practicum students from the College of Business Administration for the academic year 2014-2015 participated in the study. The academic performance of the students, from their first year to fourth year demonstrate that the different practicum criteria; duties, quality, punctuality, attitude and grooming correlates with the different year level. The ward hierarchal cluster analysis segments the practicum students between self-regulators and non-self-regulators. Later the variance of analysis confirmed the significant differences across all practicum performance criteria. In addition, the discriminant analysis method shows that that attitude (0.74) and duty (0.503) were helpful in predicting group membership between self-regulating and non-self-regulating students.

Kathrina T. Tana, Dr. Ronald S. Decano – October 2021- Page No.: 365-370
The study was conducted to determine the relationship between School Climate and Work Attitude of Senior High School teachers in Panabo City Division. It sought to identify the level of perceptions of Teachers towards School Climate and work attitudes. It also investigated significant difference on respondents in terms of their perception towards School climate and work attitude when analyzed according to Gender, Strand, and Length of Service. A descriptive-correlational research design was used in this study. SHS teachers were detailed as respondents. Based on findings, it was reported that teachers rated the school climate and work attitude as High. In terms of Gender, Strand, and Length of Service, the results reveal that there is no significant variation in teachers’ perceptions of school atmosphere and work attitude. In addition, there is a strong link between school atmosphere and job attitude. In terms of school atmosphere and work attitude, senior high school teachers get a high ranking. There is no discernible difference in how SHS instructors feel about school atmosphere and work attitude. It was shown that there is a substantial link between school environment and instructors’ work attitudes. In the light of the findings and conclusions, it is recommended that DepEd officials spearhead orientation-trainings to teachers. School administrators will be guided on the plans to be integrated in the curriculum. They may create strategies containing guidelines so that both teachers and administrators will be guided on properly sailing within the new curriculum.

Influence of Human Resource Development on the Management of Public Primary Schools in the North Central States of Nigeria
AKEM Sarah Nguavese, Dr R.C Odeh, Dr J.I Agbe, & Dr. J.A Ako – October 2021- Page No.: 371-378
This research investigated the influence of Human Resource Development on the Management of Public Primary Schools in North Central, Nigeria. Five specific objectives sought to find out the influence of staff Selection, Induction, Training, Workshops and Staff Job Rotation in Public Primary Schools in North Central, Nigeria. Five research questions were raised to guide the study while five null hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. The population of the study was 94,492 head teachers and teachers from 13,235 public primary schools. The sample size for the study was 397 respondents who were selected using Taro Yamen’s formula and 377 public primary schools. A 35 – item structured questionnaire developed by the researcher titled “Influence of Human Resource Development on the Management of Public Primary Schools Questionnaire (IHRDMPPSQ)” was used for data collection. The reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach Alpha method and a reliability coefficient of 0.81 was obtained. Data were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistics of Mean and Standard Deviation to answer the five research questions. Chi-square was used to test the five null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that, staff selection, induction, training, workshops and job rotation significantly influence the management of public primary schools in North Central, Nigeria. The study concluded that development of teachers such as selection, induction, training, workshop and job rotation have significant influence on the Management of Public Primary Schools in the North- Central, Nigeria. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher recommended that, government and education agencies should provide appropriate procedures for staff selection, government and education authorities should organise induction programmes for new and old staff for the management of public primary schools in the north-central, Nigeria. Staff should be given opportunities to attend training programmes to improve their performance, workshops, seminars and conferences should be organized for teachers in order to update their skills and knowledge to enhance their performance and achieve school goals and objectives. Government and education agencies, school administrators should rotate teachers from one task to another in order to acquire more skills, knowledge and experiences to develop them for high performance and productivity to achieve quality education outcomes in public primary schools especially those in North- Central, Nigeria. Suggestions for further study include influence of human resource development on the management of public secondary schools in other zones in Nigeria as well as to conduct study on other variables like motivation, prompt payment of salaries, promotion, security, health facilities.

Counting the Cost: An Assessment of the Effect of Abduction and Killings on the Nigerian Human Capital Development
Victoria Unachukwu, Cynthia Adaora Okafor – October 2021- Page No.: 379-383
The need for the provision of security is the basis of the social contract between the citizens and the state, thus, it is the core responsibility of the state to ensure the protection of the lives and properties of all citizens. However, despite the provision of this fundamental right in the constitution, lives of citizens are being threatened daily by the ostensible increase in cases of kidnappings and killings. The heightened cases of insecurity have continuously hampered the human capital development efforts of the Nigerian government. Against this background, this work examined the impact of the eclipsing cases of kidnappings and killings in Nigeria on the Human Capital Development. The broken window and Robert K. Merton’s anomie theories were employed in analysing factors that influence these anti-social behaviours. In other to have a robust work, this paper adopted both documentary and survey methods while utilizing the content analysis method in analysing the gathered data. This intellectual discourse observed that the spate in killings and abduction across the nation, deplete the workforce of the country and hamper national productivity. This is because the majority of persons killed are youths, who are considered engine of the country. The threats and attacks of bandits and killings have created a climate of fear and continues to have a surging effect on public safety, food security and social cohesion in Nigeria. The study suggests that Government and Policy makers should as a matter of urgency give high priority to human capital development through review of the education and health policies, and increase budgetary allocation to these two critical sectors, reconfigure the overtly centralized and unitarized security architecture that is struggling to provide security in a supposedly federal structure and refocus the conceptualisation and pursuit of national security to human security by taking concrete steps to prioritize and right-size the deployment of available national resource to address the vulnerability of marginalised groups, especially the poor in vulnerable and isolated places.

Land Use Land Cover (LULC) Change Analysis of the Akuapem-North Municipality, Eastern Region; Ghana
Ezekiel Addison Otoo, Emmanuel Addison Otoo, George Boateng – October 2021- Page No.: 384-390
Land-use changes are a significant determinant of land cover changes; this is on the grounds that it is human specialists; people, families, and private firms that make explicit moves that drive land-use change. An increment in family size, traveler populace, and abatement in the monetary prosperity of the indigenous area compels agricultural expansion. This paper aimed at analysing the Land-use Land-cover change pattern in the Akuapem-North Municipality and provide experimental record of land-cover changes in the municipality thereby broadening the insight of local authorities and land managers to better comprehend and address the complicated land-use system of the area and develop an improved land-use management strategies that could better balance urban expansion and environmental protection. Land cover change was observed through advanced processing and classification dependent on five multi-temporal medium resolution satellite symbolism (Landsat: 1986, 1990, 2002, 2017) into five classes. From this, precisely arranged pixel data were assigned to decide each land cover class size and the quantity of changed pixels into different classes through spatial change detection. It was discovered that land cover from 1986 to 2017 shows rapid changes in the landscape as there is high growth in built-up area. However, farmland and forest cover areas has reduced. Urban built-up area has extended outwards from the central-eastern part to the rest of the areas and has covered most of the northern, western, and southern parts. If the present growth trend continues, most of the vegetated areas will be converted into built-up areas in the near future, which may create ecological imbalance and affect the climate of the municipality.

The Image of Women in Es’kia Mphahlele’s Chirundu (1979)
Abdou Sene – October 2021- Page No.: 391-396
Many literary texts by African male writers were written in the 1960s and 1970s to decry the governance of African political rulers, a governance based on abuse of power, bribery, self-enrichment and dictatorship, among other vices. African masses who thought that the replacement of the white rulers by indigenous politicians, following the independences, would be mean a new and better governing system, have been simply disillusioned. Among these literary texts is Mphahlele’s Chirundu (1979). But, can Chirundu not be also classified among literary texts such as Achebe’s Things Fall Apart (1958), Soyinka’s The Lion and the Jewel (1962), Onuora Nzekwu’s Highlife for Lizards (1965), Elechi Amadi’s The Concubine (1966) … in which feminists find a sexist perspective of the authors? From a feminist perspective, this article is going to deal with the image of women in Chirundu. Based on culture, sociology and psychology as theories and feminism as literary criticism, this study will firstly deal with the stereotypes about women and then analyze the latter’s victimization

Implementation of Innovative Techniques in Educational Curriculum for Effective Student Leadership Skills Acquisition in Nigeria
Dr. Beatrice Dute Iwowari – October 2021- Page No.: 397-402
This study evaluated the implementation of innovative techniques in educational curriculum in Nigerian classrooms. Using the convenience sampling technique, the study adopted 150 public and private secondary school teachers in Port Harcourt as its sample size from which data were collected using a well-structured questionnaire on a 5 point Likert rating scale. Of the distributed 150 questionnaires, 138 were retrieved and analysed using SPSS. The results from the data analysis infer that an aggregate application of visualisation technological tools is to the tone of 20.4% whereas the application of learner’s autonomy is to the tone of 20.6%. This goes to show the slow rate at which the Nigerian educational system is embracing innovative techniques in offering educational services in the Nigerian classrooms. Therefore, the study recommends that innovative methods be utilised by teachers in the course of teaching as stipulated by the Federal Ministry of Education.

The concern for alternative source of power supply with the intention of maximizing the naturally and abundantly available solar energy is on the increasing measure in the developed and developing countries. Research and development studies suggest an optimistic future for the use and application of solar energy as a major source of renewable energy. To secure such a promising future in maximizing solar energy in a developing country like Uganda there is a need to investigate the level of awareness of the use and application amongst university students. The study employed survey technique using questionnaire to investigate the level of awareness of advantages and benefits there are on the use and application of solar energy. The study population is the university students selected purposively from Universities in Kampala, Uganda. Data collected from the study were analysed by comparing the mean standard deviation and Pearson moment correlation, and the research hypotheses were tested on 0.005 level of significance using regression analysis in order to determine the relationship between the level of awareness of the respondents and application of solar energy. Further suggestions made to elicit the spread of the usefulness and application of this alternative power supply in Uganda.

Relationship of Player Experience and Game Engagement in Battle Royale Games among Gamers in Davao City
Louie Jay M. Gilves, Ron Angelo Quilario, Rizel Mae Atanoza, Baby Joy Alameda Miano, Jezriel Bajan – October 2021- Page No.: 427-432
A characteristic of multiplayer web-based games is that players may take whatever job they choose, collaborate with other sections to complete far more complex goals, and complete missions of a violent nature. Players may communicate online, form friendships, and arrange real or virtual resources [1]. This research aims to ascertain the connection between Player Experience and Game Engagement in Battle Royale Games among Davao City Gamers. To ascertain the degree of player experience and game engagement and ascertain if there is a statistically significant connection between those factors. The data collection process is conducted through questionnaires. It is based on two of the most frequently used scales: the Player Experience of Need Satisfaction (PENS) and the Game Experience Questionnaire (GEQ). Although both measures were created using a rational-theoretical approach, none has been subjected to formal factor analysis. Fifty (50) respondents from Davao City between the ages of 16 and 40 who are eligible for our research were chosen. The researchers utilized purposeful sampling to choose an example that is usually beneficial to the study goals to produce an example that may represent the community. The findings indicate that most video games remain tenacious in their quest for popularity and do not seem to have an end in sight. Real-life and the virtual world are gradually merging with virtual reality on the horizon and making inroads into more conventional settings. The research concluded by examining the elements of game playing experience that may improve people’s competence, idea autonomy, and relatedness. The degree to which it is significant and how it connects with other factors.

Undergraduate Entrepreneurship Education: The Pros and Cons for the Nigerian Context [A 10-Year (2008 vs. 2018) Gap Comparative Case Study of Federal Polytechnic Ede, Nigeria]
Choice, Oluwafolahan Honour Candour – October 2021- Page No.: 433-441
In year 2000, the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) and United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) partnered to revitalize Technical and Vocational Education (TVE) curricula resulting in the full incorporation of Entrepreneurship Education (EEd) into TVE curricula. Correspondingly, FGN introduced EEd into university undergraduate curriculum in 2006. Whether EEd has achieved the desired outcomes for undergraduates and Nigeria without obstacles and challenges remained a recurring question. This study examined the pros and cons of Undergraduate EEd in the light of a decade (2008 vs. 2018) gap comparative case study of Federal Polytechnic, Ede, Nigeria. The baseline objectives were to: identify the benefits of EEd to the undergraduates; identify the obstacles mitigating the use of knowledge and skills inculcated; examine the challenges of implementing the curricula; determine the relevance of the programme to the nation; and to investigate if EEd should continue. Corollary objective compared results for the years. The study utilized primary and secondary data. Purposeful stratified random samples were 80 for 2008 and 350 for 2018. Simple percentages, frequencies and differentials were used for analysis. Key findings revealed empowerment for self-employment and acquisition of entrepreneurial knowledge as prime benefits of EEd while the consistent obstacle to using the knowledge and skills acquired was finance/lack of seed capital. Major challenge in implementing the curricula was inadequate infrastructures in 2008 and inadequate government funding in 2018. Respondents deemed that EEd should subsist. The study concluded that government and stakeholders should support EEd policies and implementation through adequate funding and requisite infrastructures.

Gender differences in access to corporate financial services in Cameroon
Gael Fokam, Christelle MAPA, Mathurin ISSABE – October 2021- Page No.: 442-456
The inclusion of all segments of the population in the formal financial system has become a major concern for governments and global financial institutions in the current economic environment. This concern is reflected in an improvement in the quality and access to trained financial services adapted to different social strata. The objective of this study is to determine the factors that explain access to credit and the elements that influence gender (male or female) in the demand for bank credit by businesses in Cameroon. To do this, we adopted the logistic regression technique as an estimation technique and the data retained for this study come from the IDRC survey on the determinants of the performance of companies in Sub-Saharan Africa over the period from 2011 to 2012. , case of Cameroon. The results show that the female gender is not disadvantaged in applying for bank credit. In addition, this study reveals that the type of business and the turnover positively and significantly influence access to bank credit. Such results would have the consequence of favoring the impregnation of women in the traditional financial circuit.

The Nexus between Corporate Relations and Employee Relations: A Conceptual Review
Ben Odeba, Misal, Daburi Bello and Katu, Hilda Nankyer – October 2021- Page No.: 457-463
The purpose of this analytical review is to discover that the field of public relations is much more sophisticated now than it used to be due to both internal and external changes. Anchored on the Relational Dialectics Theory and RACE Model of Public Relations, this study reviewed the concepts of corporate relations and employee relations as well as the relationship which exists between them. The study adopts descriptive research design. The review shows that no organization exists in isolation; there is need to relate with the various publics particularly the employees and that corporate communication is a vital tool for creating and sustaining corporate and employee relations. The review further indicates that the connection between corporate relations and employee relations is both complex and essential. The review validates the view that there can be no lasting good corporate image or corporate communication and relationships with external publics without a cordial and mutually beneficial relationship with the employees (internal publics). The review clearly shows that happy employees are productive employees and that successful businesses or organizations are the ones which know how to manage relationships with their employees in order to build lasting employee satisfaction, productivity and a vibrant corporate reputation.

Factors Responsible for Academic Deterioration in Traditional Ordinary Level Secondary Schools
Constance Nabagereka – October 2021- Page No.: 464-472
It has been observed that there is a falling academic standard at a percentage of 0.5 (UBOS 2012) and the influencing factors include, teachers’ performance, government intervention and socio-economic background of the parents. In most African countries socio-economic back ground of the family is usually linked to the family’s income, parent’s educational level and parent’s occupation.
The study was conducted to determine the factors responsible for academic deterioration among traditional ordinary level secondary schools in Ibaare sub-county, Bushenyi district.
The study’s specific objectives were;
• To determine whether teachers are responsible for the deterioration of traditional secondary schools.
• To determine whether the student’s socio-economic family background is responsible for academic deterioration of traditional secondary schools.
• To determine whether the government plays a role in academic deterioration of traditional ordinary level secondary schools
A phenomenology method of data collection was used and a sample size of twenty participants was contacted.
Primary data was collected using face to face interviews using semi-structured method and focus group discussions.
The findings revealed that teachers are partly to blame for academic deterioration in ordinary level traditional secondary schools at a percentage of 0.3. It was also found out that the student’s socio-economic family back ground has an influence on the academic deterioration of students at 0.4 percent. It was also found out that the government is partly responsible for the deterioration of academic performance of ordinary level traditional secondary schools 0.1 (UBOS 2012).
The research found out that improved teaching and learning methods can improve students’ academic performance among ordinary level traditional secondary schools.
The researcher therefore recommended that teachers should change their teaching methods from teacher centered to learner centered approach.
And to the government the researcher recommended that it should provide proper services and motivate teachers by providing good salaries and transport allowances if they are to give good services to learners.

Perception and Utilization of Social Media Health Messages on COVID 19 among Undergraduate Students in Anambra State
Adaobi Olivia Okeke, Linda Nnenna Ikechukwu, Lilian Chinazom Ajagu – October 2021- Page No.: 479-486
Social Media is a crucial means of disseminating information to the general public; and as a result regarded as a powerful tool of propaganda. In the Nigerian sphere of communication, it acts as a double-edged sword in the sense that it permits citizens to be aware of certain information without restrictions. In the peak of the covid 19 pandemic in Nigeria, a lot of health information concerning this disease has been passed across through the social media. Studies have proven that Nigerian youths utilize social media especially for information and entertainment purposes. This study therefore sought to find out how undergraduate students in Anambra State who are youths perceive these social media information on covid 19 and if they actually utilize the covid health information they read on social media. The study interrogated the social media platform they utilize to get these health messages. The study adopted the Survey research design and the questionnaire was used as the research instrument of data collection. The study was anchored on the Channel Complementarity Theory which states that individuals who are motivated to acquire information about an issue will use all sources that are perceived to fulfill that information need. The study concludes that the significance of social media outlets cannot be overemphasized with recourse to information dissemination. It also purports that these platforms have been abused as people hide under its anonymity to spread fake messages and instigate panic amongst members of the general public but is still being used for accessing health messages on covid inspite of this negative trend.

Globalisation and Competitiveness in Nigeria
Saviour Sebastian Udo and Jacob, Augustine Okon – October 2021- Page No.: 487-495
This study examines the effect of globalization on the competitiveness of Nigeria. The methodology of the classical linear regression paradigm was used for the empirical study of the Autoregressive Distributed Lag technique. The data were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Statistical Bulletin 2019 and World Development Indicators. Globalization, Company Comfort (EODB), Federal Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), imports on capital goods and Government Efficiency (GOVEFF) from 1980 to 2018 (WDI). The results showed that globalisation, both in the long run by 0.9787 and in the short run by 0.27606, had a positive and significant effect on Nigeria competitiveness. The result described a number of drivers of Nigerian globalisation, for globalization and competitiveness. Based on these results, the study recommended that the government implement policies to ensure that companies flourish in a conducive setting. In Nigeria, in particular, a seamless business registration process should be created. This study suggests other steps that the government should put in place to make Nigeria more competitive in an increasingly global market which are credit facilities, tax incentives, and infrastructure provision.

Teachers’ Experiences with Yoruba-English Bilinguals: Implications for Learning Yoruba and English in Public Primary School Classroom in Ekiti State, Nigeria
Oladunni O. Deji-Afuye and Felicia T. Obadare – October 2021- Page No.: 496-501
This study investigated teachers’ experiences with Yoruba-English bilinguals in public primary schools in Ekiti State. The sample used for this study consisted of one hundred (100) public primary schools teachers in the state. A simple self-developed questionnaire was used to get information from the respondents regarding their experiences with their pupils concerning the pupils’ communication behaviour and competence in Yoruba and English. The research hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance during the study. The findings showed that the pupils found it relatively more comfortable to communicate in their mother tongue than in the English language; that the issue of general preference for the use of English in the Nigerian educational sector which had imposed communication in the language on the pupils and their teachers was a major factor constraining the use of mother tongue at the elementary schools; and that teachers had resorted to the use of code mixing/switching to ensure pupils’ learning and understanding. These findings indicated that there were significant effects of English-Yoruba bilingualism on Yoruba and English learning among public primary school pupils in Ekiti State. This has negatively affected the learning of both languages by the pupils. Thus, the study recommended that the implementation of early Mother Tongue instruction should be made workable by ensuring adequate development of the mother tongue; teachers’ competence in the mother tongue; availability of teaching materials to be used and proper monitoring of the school to follow the stipulations in the policy.

The effects of Carroll’s CSR Pyramid on Consumer Buying Behaviour: Case of Mobile Telephone Network (MTN) Company Bamenda Branch, Cameroon
Iden Blanche Mbonifor, Noumigue Guy Roland Kenmegni – October 2021- Page No.: 502-509
This paper attempts to explore the effect of the components of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on Consumer Buying Behaviour (CBB). A questionnaire was administered to 110 consumers of MTN’s products in Bamenda, Cameroon. The results of descriptive, correlation and regression analysis showed that: Bamenda consumers are partially aware of CSR concept, only the ethical responsibility of MTN has a significant relationship with CBB, while the economic, legal and philanthropic responsibilities of MTN do not influence CBB. This means that the Bamenda MTN’s consumers do not think about economic, legal and philanthropic responsibilities when they take their buying decision. Some of the major recommendation is that MTN should communicate more on their legal aspects. For instance, if MTN opens up to the public about its legal activities and on how the company abides with state laws, the public may gain interest in the legality of the company which may go a long way to have an effect on sales, turnover and finally social and financial performance. The current philanthropic works undertaken by MTN foundation like working with communities, giving to charity and visiting orphanages should be improved upon by taking up activities like aiding victims of the crisis.

Culture and sport are frequently seen as having societal consequences. The participation of women in sports and physical activities is influenced in a variety of ways. Female participation in Sports/games and physical activities could have a significant positive impact on an individual’s physical, cultural, traditional/customs mental, and social well-being. The purpose of this research is to look at some of the Cultural/Customs and Traditional belief systems that influence women’s engagement in physical activities and games in Northern region colleges of education. The researchers employed a survey research approach to study about the cultural/customs and traditional belief systems that influence female engagement in sports/games and physical activities. Female students from the four colleges of education in the Northern region (Bagabaga College, E.P College – Bimbilla, Tamale College, and St’ Vincent College-Yendi) were the target population. The study identified some key findings of Cultural/Customs and Traditional belief practice which include, women’s access to information is limited by strict customs observation, myths, place of the woman is in the kitchen, curses and taboos based on effects on their reproductive organs, and women lose their femininity through active participation in sports, female genital mutilation, and women cleansing are some of the belief systems that contribute to women’s low participation in sports/games and physical activity. The study also identified other factors such as, Religious Beliefs/Norms, gender limitations, sociological and physiological variables that influence female engagement in sports/games and physical activities. It is recommended that the use of cultural enlightenment educational programmes that will demystify all traditional/customs and cultural belief systems and biases against female participation in sporting, games and physical activities in our communities. Use of Legislation to promote Cultural/Customs and Traditional physical activities in schools.

An examination of the effectiveness of investment promotion practices in Victoria Falls Municipality (2010-217)
Dr David Foya, Merhluli Sibanda – October 2021- Page No.: 528-543
This study sought to examine the effectiveness of investment promotion practises in Victoria Falls Municipality over the period 2010 – 2017. The study targeted VFM because the municipality offers investment prospects in a number of sectors with tourism being the prime possible investment sector. The primary objective of the study was to explore the effectiveness of investment promotion practices of VFM. The study sought to answer some of the following questions: What are the factors that affect the investment promotion activities of VFM? How attractive are investment incentives offered by VFM? Are senior executives at VFM aware of the need of local authorities to promote and attract investment to their areas of jurisdiction? Is there any collaboration between VFM and other national statutory bodies responsible for investment promotion? The study is significant in the sense that it seeks to highlight the effectiveness of VFM investment promotion practices. There were 150 key people from which a sample of 80 individuals was selected using stratified random and purposive sampling techniques. The purposive sampling technique was applied to select respondents from VFM councillors, managers and other executives. The study applied both qualitative and quantitative methods. The main instruments used to collect data were questionnaire which complemented interviews. Data collected was analysed using interpretive skills and descriptive statistics. The study found that the absence of a municipality specific IPA was one of the major factors affecting investment promotion activities of VFM. The study further established that the investment policies, procedures, by-laws and regulation of VFM were not supportive to investment promotion. In view of these findings, the study recommended that due to existences of unique niche opportunities in local authorities, these should consider establish local authority specific IPAs instead of relying on the national IPA that is the Zimbabwe Investment Authority. The study further recommended that the Victoria Falls Municipality should immediately take advantage of being tourism Special Economic Zone and Work with other investment promotion statutory bodies to come up with tourism specific investment packages.

The Nexus between Financial Innovation, Financial Inclusion, and Economic growth in Africa: A PMG Approach
Tough Chinoda, Josphat Nyoni, Maxwell Chufama, Andrew Jeremiah, Martin Dandira – October 2021- Page No.: 544-550
This study investigates the nexus between financial inclusion, financial innovation and economic growth in Africa by employing the panel autoregressive distribution lags using panel data over the period 2004–2018. The empiri¬cal findings reveals that the impact of economic growth on financial inclusion in Africa is positive and significant in the short and long run lending support to the growth led finance hypothesis that financial inclusion leads to economic growth. This paper, also finds a significant positive effect of financial innovation on financial inclusion in the long and short run in line with the supply leading hypothesis. We thus recommend policymakers to implement strategies that reckon incentives that can accelerate economic growth and financial innovations which can ultimately augment financial inclusion.

The Effect of Organizational Innovation and Technological Innovation on the Quality of Animal Health Service and Their Impact on Organizational Performance in Aceh Livestock Department
Yus Efendi, Amri, Ridwan – October 2021- Page No.: 551-559
This study aims to examine the effect of organizational innovation and technological innovation on organizational performance in the Aceh livestock department mediated by the quality of animal health service. The research population was 118 district/city animal health service officers in Aceh province. There were 128 officers chosen as the sample through the Slovin method. Data were analyzed by Structural Model Test. From the result we can see that the model tested proves that organizational innovation affects the service quality, technological innovation affects the service quality, organizational innovation affects organizational performance, technological innovation does not affect organizational performance, service quality affects organizational performance, service quality mediates the effect of organizational innovation on organizational performance, and service quality mediates the effect of technological innovation on organizational performance in the Aceh Livestock Department. The results also illustrate that service quality functions as a partial mediator on the effect of organizational innovation on organizational performance, and service quality functions as a full mediator on the effect of technological innovation on organizational performance. These results contribute academically to the development of a management model to improve organizational performance, which is a function of increasing organizational innovation variable either directly or through service quality, and the function of improving technological innovation to improve service quality, and ultimately will have an impact on improving organizational performance. For future researchers, research can be developed based on this tested model by adding variables such as organizational culture and organizational behavior.

Rainfall Distribution over Ghana: The Effect of Distance from the Sea
Boateng, G., Asuah, M. G., Kyeremeh, E., Otoo, K. A., & Otoo, E.A – October 2021- Page No.: 560-566
Rainfall is a major determinant of agricultural production in any agro-ecological zone across the world. Its seasonal and annual characteristics such as onset and intra-seasonal rainfall distributions are characterized by marked fluctuations which pose a lot of challenge to forecast. Access and uptake of seasonal and intra-seasonal forecasts is crucial in decision making among all stakeholders especially the farmer whose activities is greatly influenced by rainfall onset and distribution. This study sought to analyse the extent to which distance from the sea (source of moisture) influence rainfall distribution in the country in time and in space. The data for the study was obtained from GMeT from 1982 -2012. The thirty-one-year data from twenty-two rainfall stations (synoptic) were used to derive the mean averages and simple linear regression. The study concluded statistically that distance from the sea has no effect on rainfall distribution in the country. It was therefore recommended that a combination of factors could be considered to actually understand the driving force of rainfall amount that actually occurs at a particular location within the country.

Quality Characteristics of Cake Made from Blends of Soy-Bean and Unripe Plantain Flour
Oledimma, N.U., Ibeogu, I.H. and Umeojiego O.P – October 2021- Page No.: 567-573
This study was undertaken to assess the quality characteristics of cake made from composite flour (soy-bean and unripe plantain flour) enriched with carrot. The soy bean and unripe plantain were prepared and then blended into the following ratios: soy bean/unripe plantain (80:20), soy bean/unripe plantain (40:60), soy bean/unripe plantain (20:80), soy bean/unripe plantain (60:40), soy bean/unripe plantain (50:50), control (100% wheat flour). Functional analysis were carried out on the flour samples while the cakes produced from the flours were subjected to proximate analysis and sensory evaluation on a 9-point hedonic scale using 25-member trained and semi trained panelists. The results showed that swelling index ranged from 1.20-2.05, WAC 1.55-2.95ml/g, OAC 0.86-1.04ml/g, bulk density 0.24-0.29g/ml, wettability 16.9-29.3 sec and sinkability 24.9-38.2 sec. unripe plantain significantly improved the functional properties of the flour blends. The proximate composition were 16.1-23.2% protein, 9.0-16.1% fat, 21.8-42.7% moisture, 1.3-4.3% ash, 1.8-4.5% fibre and 22.5-44.7% carbohydrate. The proximate composition of the cakes produced from these flour blends compared very well with the 100% wheat flour cake and was in most cases superior. The sensory attributes of all the composite cakes (except the soy bean/unripe plantain (60:40) cake) compared well with the control and were all acceptable. The result of this study shows that various formulations of soy bean-unripe plantain flours can totally replace wheat flour in production of nutritious cakes of acceptable sensory quality.

Ologbese Felix Ebun, Adebambo Hameed Olusegun, Odurinde Samuel Olusegun – October 2021- Page No.: 574-580
This study assessed the effect of environmental sanitation on the environmental performance of Akure, Ondo State. Survey research design was adopted in which 395 questionnaires were administered to respondents from selected 15 communities in the study area using simple random sampling technique. The data collected was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences and Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling). The findings of the study showed that with a grand mean value of 0.30, there is a moderate level of public attitudes towards environmental sanitation in Akure. The result of the regression analysis on the effect of environmental sanitation on environmental performance revealed that gaseous emission control personal hygiene, and noise regulation have significant effect on air quality dimension of environmental performance. Also, the study found that noise regulation proper waste disposal and potable water supply have significant effect on noise quality. While personal waste disposal, portable water supply, noise regulation and gaseous emission control have significant effect on the water quality performance of the environment. The study recommends, that continuous sensitization and enlightenment programme be carried out by the appropriate government institutions to educate the populace on the need to imbibe good environmental sanitation practices with a view to improving the environmental performance of the study area.

This study aimed to see the effect of Perceived Usefulness of Gamification and Perceive Ease of Use Gamification on Flow State and Behavior Intention. The population in this study was all Shopee online marketplace customers, especially those who have had gamification experience on the Shopee platform. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The sample was determined by the total number of indicators as many as 21 units, so the number of samples needed is 10 × 21 = 210 samples. The results showed that on Shopee online marketplace, Perceived Usefulness of Gamification affects Flow State, Perceived Ease of Use Gamification affects Flow State, Perceived Usefulness of Gamification affects Behavior Intention, Perceived Ease of Use Gamification affects Behavior Intention, Flow State affects Behavior Intention, Perceived Usefulness of Gamification affects Behavior Intention through Flow State, and Perceived Ease of Use Gamification affects Behavior Intention through Flow State. These findings also explain that the flow state is proven to function as a partial mediator in the model under study. Thus, this finding has found that the model of increasing Behavior Intention is a function of Perceived Usefulness of Gamification and Perceived Ease of Use Gamification which can significantly influence the Flow state and lead to its impact on changes and increases in behavior intention to own and use products originating from the Shopee site as an online marketplace. Further researchers are also expected to be able to develop this tested research model, by adding other variables such as uniqueness and customer experience. This behavioral intention improvement model also contributes to practitioners, especially research subjects, namely the Shopee online marketplace, as a basis for making decisions for their company’s future strategies. Other online marketplaces can also use this research model as a rationale in determining whether or not gamification is needed in strengthening their marketplace brand/product.

The Effect of Job Insecurity, Job Characteristics, and Workload on Employee Performance of Bank Aceh Syariah With Work Satisfaction as A Mediation
Rully Marzuli, Muhammad Adam, M. Shabri – October 2021- Page No.: 586-592
This study aimed to see the effect of job insecurity, job characteristics, and workload on employee performance mediated by work satisfaction variables. The research subject was all employees of Bank Aceh Syariah (PT. BAS) Sigli Branch, located in Sigli city, Indonesia. The population was taken as a sample, as many as 106 people. The results show that Job insecurity affects Work satisfaction, Job Characteristics affects Work satisfaction, Workload affects Work satisfaction, Job insecurity does not affect Employee Performance, Job Characteristics affects Employee Performance, Workload affects Employee Performance, Work satisfaction affects Employee Performance, and Job insecurity affects Employee Performance through work satisfaction, Job Characteristics affects Employee Performance through work satisfaction, and Workload affects Employee Performance through work satisfaction. In the indirect influence model of job insecurity on employee performance, work satisfaction functions as a full mediator, while in the indirect effect model of job characteristics on employee performance, and the indirect effect model of workload on employee performance, work satisfaction functions as a partial mediator. These findings confirm the notion that the tested employee performance improvement model can be used, although there is one direct effect model that is not significant. This means that the model for improving employee performance is an indirect function of comforting job insecurity through work satisfaction, a direct function of strengthening job characteristics, a direct function of workload adjustment, and a function of increasing work satisfaction both as full moderator and partial moderator. Further researchers can develop this tested model by adding other variables such as corporate culture and employee innovation.

The result shows that competency affects staff performance, Culture affects Staff performance, Work Attitude affects Staff performance, Staff performance affects Bappeda Pidie Performance, Competency affects Bappeda Pidie performance, Culture affects Bappeda Pidie performance, Work Attitude affects Bappeda Pidie performance, Competency affects Bappeda Pidie performance through staff performance, Culture affects Bappeda Pidie performance through staff performance, and Work Attitude affects Bappeda Pidie performance through staff performance. From the testing of the research model, staff performance is also proven to function as a partial mediation. Thus, this research model has been tested, which means that improving organizational performance, increasing competence, and looking for a culture that is in accordance with organizational performance is the right way, so that staff performance will increase and ultimately improve organizational performance. This model can be implemented especially for research subjects, namely Bappeda Pidie. This result is expected to be a reference for further research in the future, and the next researchers can develop this model tested by adding other variables in the model such as leadership variables, job satisfaction, work engagement as well as the application of work discipline and the application of e-performance.

The Effect of Experienced Regret and Overconfidence Based on Profession on Investment Decisions in Banda Aceh
Sri Wahyuni, Said Musnadi, Faisal – October 2021- Page No.: 599-605
This study was to see the effect of Experience Regret and Overconfidence on investment decisions with Profession as moderating. the population is all the people of Banda Aceh City who are investors in the capital market, which amounted to 5,126 investors spread over several securities. The criteria for selecting the sample were those who have made financial investments through various existing financial instruments, amounting to 150 people. The allocation of the sample was each 50 from civil servants, State Own Enterprise (SOE) employees, and private employees. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that experienced regret affects investment decisions, overconfidence affects investment decisions, and profession does not moderate the influence between experienced regret and overconfidence on investment decisions. This finding contributes academically, that the investment decision model in the Capital Market by the people in Banda Aceh City depends on their experienced regret and overconfidence, but does not depend on the type of their profession which consists of civil servants, SOE employees, and private employees. In the multi-group test results, although the effect is not significant, it can be seen that civil servants have experienced regrets that influence investment decisions more strongly than SOE employees and private employees. However, for overconfidence, SOE employees have overconfidence which influences investment decisions more strongly than civil servants and private employees.

A Qualitative analysis of Care values that need to be embraced and exhibited in the nursing care of patients with HIV and AIDS related illnesses in Zimbabwean hospitals
Clement Nyati, PhD, Jameson Kurasha, Ms Veronica Mudzviti, MSc – October 2021- Page No.: 613-623
Background:
The context within which Nurses work has changed enormously since nursing models were first explored in relation to clinical practice. It is no longer acceptable to base practice on opinion, past practice, and precedent, as the culture of health Care has marginally shifted to evidence based decision making. In Zimbabwean Hospitals, there is no documented evidence to suggest that patients with HIV and AIDS are cared for using a theorized framework that meets the local needs. It is in light of such revelations that part of this study sought to ascertain the key nursing concepts that could be included in a future care model to better manage admitted HIV and AIDS patients.
Purpose
To determine nursing care values crucial in the nursing management of admitted patients with HIV and AIDS related illnesses.
Methods:
An interpretivist approach, which is a qualitative methodology, was preferred as the study sought through its methods to capture HIV and AIDS nursing care aspects in their entirety within the context of the patients and nurses who are experiencing them. Interpretive phenomenology was applied to explicitly describe the experience as lived by the respondents. Patients and nurses were purposively and conveniently sampled from which a sample size of 54 was obtained to inform the study. Respondents were included in the study on the basis of having been admitted for more than a day, conscious and mentally stable. The respondents shared their experiences when they were engaged through semi-structured interview schedules, focus group discussions and short essays.
Results:
A total of six (6) master themes emerged from this research question. These included; Need for Humaneness, “Ubuntu”, to be exhibited by the nurse: Need for Adherence; Need for Comprehensive care, also referred to as holistic care; Need for Competency among nurses tasked with delivering nursing care to admitted patients with HIV and AIDS related illnesses; Need for partnership, which can be established between the patient, family and nurse, as well as between nurses and other health care workers; and the Need for Sufficiency. Sufficiency should focus on staff, drugs and equipment adequacy.
Conclusions
Despite the progressions in the development of HIV medicines, nursing still needs to define its unique role and uphold the values as it delivers care to the admitted patients with HIV and AIDS related illnesses.
A Qualitative analysis of Care values that need to be embraced and exhibited in the nursing care of patients with HIV and AIDS related illnesses in Zimbabwean hospitals.

The Effect of Commitment and Culture on OCB With Satisfaction as A Mediation : Study on Nasdem Political Party of Banda Aceh City
Teuku Nanta Muda Dermawan, Mukhlis Yunus, T Meldi Kesuma – October 2021- Page No.: 624-631
This study aims to examine the effect of commitment and culture on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) with satisfaction as a mediating variable. This study was conducted in the Nasional Demokrat (Nasdem) as a Political Party Organization, in the scope of Banda Aceh city, Indonesia. The population in this study were all Nasdem party administrators in Banda Aceh City, totaling 29 personnel, 45 sub-district Nasdem administrators within the ranks of Banda Aceh City, and 200 Nasdem party sympathizers with a total of 274. In this study, the number of research indicators was 26 indicators, so that the number of samples required is as many as 130 respondents. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used as an analytical method. The result provides that Commitment and Culture can explain the Satisfaction of 51.5%, and the Commitment, Culture, and Satisfaction can explain the OCB of 38.9%. Partially, commitment affects satisfaction of 0.623 or 62.3%, and culture affects satisfaction 35.6%, commitment does not affect OCB, culture has an influence on OCB of 24, 5%, and Satisfaction affects OCB of 50.9%. Furthermore, the results of the Sobel test reveals that satisfaction plays the role as a mediator for commitment and culture in affecting OCB. These results prove that the model of increasing OCB in Nasem Party members is a function of increasing commitment and strengthening culture that utilizes satisfaction as a mediator. This also strengthens the model’s proof that it turns out that commitment in influencing OCB must go through satisfaction as a mediator, in contrast to culture which can influence OCB either directly or through satisfaction as a mediator. This model has proven to be useful for practitioners in the Nasdem party of Banda Aceh city and contributes academically to strengthening management theory. Future researchers are expected to be able to develop this model by adding variables such as job satisfaction, workload, and work stress.

Effects of Liquidity on Financial Performance of Non-Financial Institutions’ Listed at Nairobi Securities Exchange, Kenya
Rebecca Jeruto Keitany, Dr. Fredrick Warui – October 2021- Page No.: 632-636
Merger has been undergoing in organizations in Kenya with the main focus on financial performance improvement. However, most of these organizations have never realized their financial targets. Therefore, this study sought to establish the effects of liquidity on financial performance of non-financial institutions listed at the Nairobi Securities Exchange in Kenya. An exploratory research was used. Three non-financial institutions namely: Car and General (C&G) and Cummins, Unga group Holdings and Kenolkobil were targeted. The study used secondary data collection sheet which involved the documentary reviews of data available in the released financial statements, and annual reports for the last 10 years, that is, 2011 to 2020. Analysis of quantitative data was through the use of descriptive statistics that included mean and standard deviation. In addition, determination of how variables relate to each other was done using inferential statistics specifically using analysis of multiple regression. The study established that liquidity had a significant effect on financial performance as indicated by t-value (t= 2.781, p<0.05). The study concludes that due to insufficient market depth or market interruptions, non-financial institutions were unable to efficiently liquidate or offset a particular position at or near the last traded market price, leading them to participate in bank lending to satisfy their daily transactions. The study recommends that the non-financial institutions listed at NSE should aim at maximizing their overhead expenses that consume much of their cash flow.

Perceived Gender Discrimination in the Workplace in Relation to Psychographic Variables of Public Secondary Teachers: Basis for Enhancement Program
Nerissa Obedoza Roque – October 2021- Page No.: 644-656
I. INTRODUCTION
It is remarkable that female is dominant in teaching profession. In secondary schools, the presence of significant numbers of both women and men can lead to the view that women face no barriers in this profession, or even that they are at an advantage since they represent a slight majority of secondary school teachers. In this regard, gender is not an issue on hiring of teachers in public sector. So, gender discrimination is a big question if it’s existing in education sector. Some would feel sensitive to this issue. Undeniably, teachers faced many challenges in the field. Teachers also reported being mistreated or bullied, or perceived it is happening.
On a personal level, in an interview conducted by the researcher, it was found out that there are teachers who perceived that they are discriminated because of their gender. Some of them would say that they feel they are treated differently because of their gender and have to work harder to get the same level of recognition. They would feel depressed but don’t take any action to resolve it. They believed that it is important to identify this perception to help put their self-doubt to rest.
Moreover, perceived gender discrimination is an individual’s perception that he or she is treated differently or unfairly because of his or her gender or group membership. It is important to study employee perceptions of discrimination because they affect key areas of human resource management and development, such as employee relations. Whether it affects men or women, it needs attention because these perceptions can affect their attitudes and behavior. Besides, the effects of unfair treatment in the workplace are not limited to psychological harm. It also increases stress levels and may lead to greater rates of physical illness. Likewise, perceived gender discrimination can lead to higher rates of tardiness and absenteeism due to health problems that arise from workplace stress.

Verbiage and Sensationalism in Unethical Journalism Creating Stigma and Fear during COVID-19
Claron Fidelis Mazarello and Tori R. Connor – October 2021- Page No.: 657-671
The absence of ethics in journalism leads to chaos uncertainty and fear, during times of a crisis. We will take a close look at the unethical coverage through the verbiage and the extent of damage physically and mentally that we have been going through since the onset of the pandemic. Making it not only an infectious disease pandemic, but this has developed into a fear pandemic of its own. The study looked at the most read 200 written news reports from around the world, narrowing the search to 50 in total; 40 of the top readership and 10 to ensure the study encompassed all regions of the globe. Seeing their use of ‘patient’ was dehumanising resulting in stigma, 30 news sources were then scrutinized using the World Health Organisations ‘Do’s” and ‘Don’ts’ sensitization guidelines ass per February 24, 2020,*
all written reports failed in using the words known to create stigma. Coupled with these results are a plethora of research and studies compiled to bring attention to the fact stigma from infection diseases can affect the productivity of the heath care system during a pandemic, as well as result in serious lasting mental health concerns such as PTSD. As well a, charting how media is directly shown to feed the fear of crisis’s by sensationalising an event and using stigmatising verbiage in reporting. This can only be described as unethical media coverage. Outlined are ways to rectify this, including the importance of a Media’s apology to the world.

Determinants of Strategic Choice among Universities in Kenya
Otieno, D and Adem, A – October 2021- Page No.: 672-678
The education sector in Kenya has been shaped by both internal and external environmental dynamics. Universities have borne the brunt of these turbulent environments the most. The environments within which the universities operate keep changing. Therefore, there is a need for universities to make sound and robust strategic choices. The strategic choices adopted by the universities will influence their success or failure. This research sought to identify the determinants of strategic choice among universities in Kenya. Specifically, the research tested four hypotheses: resource allocation has no strategic influence on strategic choice; organization culture has no significant influence on strategic choice; competitive environment has no significant influence on strategic choice; vision and mission have no significant influence on strategic choice. The research was guided by the contingency and resource dependency theories. A cross-sectional survey research design was used in this research. The target population was all the 71 universities accredited in Kenya by the Commission for University Education. Primary data was collected using a structured questionnaire. The independent variables were resource allocation, organization culture, competitive environment, and vision and mission. The quantitative data collected was cleaned, coded, and analyzed using Version 26 of the Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) Software. A multiple regression model was used and the results obtained were summarized using tables. The findings of the study indicated that only organization culture and vision and mission have a significant influence on strategic choice. It also pointed out that resource allocation, organization culture, competitive environment, and vision and mission have explanatory power in explaining strategic choice. The findings also revealed that universities in Kenya adopt a clan culture. In light of the findings, the study recommends: that universities in Kenya should have defined procedures for strategic choice process, follow the defined procedures, and involve their employees in the process of developing the strategic choices to create a sense of purpose and belonging.

Arms Proliferation and Electoral Violence in West African sub-region: A Study of 2019 General Elections in Nigeria
Professor Frank-Collins N. Okafor, Agu Chinonyelum F – October 2021- Page No.: 686-691
Some of the fundamental obstacles to peace and security in West African sub-region today are elections and proliferation of small arms and light weapons (SALW). The proliferation of small arms constitutes a major source of disruptions to our democracy and elections and outcome of elections. This has led to destruction of lives and properties and exacerbates inter-communal tensions leading to loss of confidence in our electoral system. The main aim of the study is to provide an analysis of 2019 general elections in Nigeria with the attendant electoral violence occasioned by arms proliferation. The study also aimed at identifying the root causes of electoral violence and arms proliferation and its implications to political development of the sub-region. The research design is descriptive and the framework of analysis adopted is Frustration-Aggression Theory and the qualitative research method. Secondary sources of data are used for the study. Some of the causes of electoral violence and arms proliferation in West Africa include, the borders of West African countries are porous, thus, making it easy for entry and exit of arms, conflicts, rising rates of unemployment, struggle for power and more so, the high level of corruption in West African countries. Also the implications include ethnic conflicts, corruption, lack of confidence and culture of violence and impunity in our electoral system etc. ECOWAS should as matter of urgency start addressing the causes of electoral violence and arms proliferation, government of the sub-region should avoid corruption and provide jobs to the teeming youth of the sub-region who are unemployed.

Cultural Hybridity as a Panacea to marginalization and Subjugation: A Reading of Ogola’s the River and the Source and Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun
Beatrice Neununa Simiyu, Dr. Joseph Juma Musungu, Dr. Felix Ayioka Orina – October 2021- Page No.: 698-704
The under- representation of women in national, social, political and economic affairs in postcolonial African countries is a major problem. Women are marginalized and subjugated in society because of gender inequality. This contributes to women’s search for identity in their societies. This representation of women’s search for identity becomes a tool for enhancement of denied autonomy that is represented through writing. It is implicit that the woman is viewed within the prototype of “Self” and “Other” in the expression of personal autonomy; hence woman’s search for self-identity mediates between the “Self” and “Other.” These binary oppositions of “Self” and “Other” make postcolonial theoretical criticism a relevant tool of analysis with regard to the development of the female self and national identity. This is because postcolonial theory is concerned with identity, formation and construction in regard to marginalized groups. It is argued that in a colonial state, the Africans are the “Other” than the whites while in a patriarchal society women are the “Other” than men. Therefore, post-colonial theory is suitable in the interrogation of women’s marginalization and subjugation in African societies such as Nigeria and Kenya, where women are viewed as relative to man and without a voice. This paper, thus, develops on the premise that cultural hybridity is the panacea to marginalization and subjugation in society. In this paper, I explore how Adichie in Half of a Yellow Sun and Ogola in The River and the Source, indict patriarchal order in their societies. The paper is an investigation of the development of the female self which sets out to criticize patriarchal gendered perspectives that undermine women in society. In the paper, I analyze how the two writers deploy cultural hybridity strategies to bring women’s self-perspective on board to address their identity with regard to equal gender representation, in national, social, economic and political affairs.

Experiences and Challenges of Struggling Readers in the Framework of Modular Distance Learning
Simplicio J. Libre III, Dr. Ronald S. Decano – October 2021- Page No.: 705-712
Some of the fundamental obstacles to peace and security in West African sub-region today are elections and proliferation of small arms and light weapons (SALW). The proliferation of small arms constitutes a major source of disruptions to our democracy and elections and outcome of elections. This has led to destruction of lives and properties and exacerbates inter-communal tensions leading to loss of confidence in our electoral system. The main aim of the study is to provide an analysis of 2019 general elections in Nigeria with the attendant electoral violence occasioned by arms proliferation. The study also aimed at identifying the root causes of electoral violence and arms proliferation and its implications to political development of the sub-region. The research design is descriptive and the framework of analysis adopted is Frustration-Aggression Theory and the qualitative research method. Secondary sources of data are used for the study. Some of the causes of electoral violence and arms proliferation in West Africa include, the borders of West African countries are porous, thus, making it easy for entry and exit of arms, conflicts, rising rates of unemployment, struggle for power and more so, the high level of corruption in West African countries. Also the implications include ethnic conflicts, corruption, lack of confidence and culture of violence and impunity in our electoral system etc. ECOWAS should as matter of urgency start addressing the causes of electoral violence and arms proliferation, government of the sub-region should avoid corruption and provide jobs to the teeming youth of the sub-region who are unemployed.

Examining the Views of Students on the Orientation Program for Fresh Students in the University of Cape Coast, Ghana
Esther Rhoda Ababio, Felicia Commey – October 2021- Page No.: 713-721
The study examined the views of students on orientation programs organized for fresh students in the University of Cape Coast at the beginning of the 2019/2020 academic year. Students’ involvement theory was adapted. Qualitative data was collected from purposively selected respondents and key informants in the University and analyzed using a thematic approach. The study revealed that the duration of the program was short and therefore packed which make it too stressful for the students. During the orientation exercise, some of the expectations of the students were met whilst others were not.

Paulina Warinda Anyanga, Dr. Lawrence Wainaina- October 2021- Page No.: 722-726
The office of the Attorney is coming under lots of pressure to deliver on their mandate. Several factors constrain the Attorney General’s Office to establish and enhance policies to improve in their performance. Despite the fact that a lot of money is spent to hire qualified employees and other staff, little attention has been given to workers perception towards their performance at Attorney General’s Office. The study generally investigates the effect of monetary rewards on the performance of legal practitioners at the Attorney General’s office in Nairobi. The study used descriptive research design. The population for this study consisted of 175 State Counsels or legal practitioners at Office of Attorney General. The study used proportionate stratified sampling method to ensure that all cases are well represented. The study adopted a 30% sample size representation of the total population targeted which resulted to a sample size of 56 respondents. Data was collected using questionnaires. Analysis of data was carried out using descriptive statistics and inferential analysis. The study established that monetary rewards had a positive significant influence on employee performance. The study concluded that monetary reward has a significant effect in terms of motivating employees and promoting teamwork that will enormously improve organizational performance thus lead to the organization to achieve its objectives. The study recommended that monetary reward system to be enforced to enhance the performance of the legal practitioners through giving better pay, bonuses, allowances, insurance, incentives, promotions and job security.

A Theoretical Appraise of the Rights of Human and Robots in the Emerging Nigerian Industrial Environment
Ake Okechukwu – October 2021- Page No.: 727-735
The human and robot rights’ debate in relation to their roles in the work place has persistently triggered question of ‘robot responsibility and has invoked some of the most differentiated opinions in artificial intelligent ethics. In contributing to the existing debate about this construct, this paper focused on the theoretical appraise of the rights of human and robots in the emerging industrial environment. The paper established that while some scholars and professionals advocate or supports the granting robots’ rights on a par with human beings, others, in a blunt disagreement contends that robots are not worthy of rights but are objects that should be our slaves. This paper contends that denying robots ‘rights is not acceptable, and that robots, as artifacts evolving out of and arbitrating human being, are the kinds of things that could be granted rights in the workplace. Since robots are seen as mediators of human being, it then becomes very pertinent to understand how the ‘robot and human rights’ debate is focused on first world problems, at the expense of urgent ethical concerns, such as machine prejudice, machine provoked human labour mistreatment, and attrition of discretion all impacting society’s least advantaged individuals. The paper concludes that, if human being is the starting point and human well-being is the primary focus, the negative impacts emerging from human treatment of machine makes it clear that the advocacy for robots tight is not over emphasized.

Learning Engagement amidst the New Normal Education: Perspective of Teachers in Panabo City Division
Honey Mae D. Galaura, Dr. Ronald S. Decano – October 2021- Page No.: 736-739
This study attempts to address the need for a better understanding of teacher engagement by developing a multidimensional measure of work engagement that is particular to work done by teachers in classrooms and schools. Using random numbers, this study recruited 400 elementary and secondary public-school instructors. It was held in the Panabo City Division’s elementary and secondary public schools. Teachers have a critical role in children’s educational experiences. Increased job satisfaction, workplace productivity, and even student engagement have all been connected to instructors’ interest in their profession. Teachers’ attitudes and motivation levels must be conveyed to pupils. Thus it’s critical to gain a better knowledge of their work engagement. The teaching profession will benefit from this research since it will help to better understand teacher involvement. Teacher involvement data for a specific school site is supplied. The need to change teacher attitudes, perceptions and emotional understanding in the classroom is becoming more widely recognized. Effective teaching is psychologically dependent on motivated teachers who are fully engaged in their work, both academically and emotionally, and socially. The findings suggest that, in addition to cognitive and affective components of engagement, social interaction with students and coworkers should be considered.

Experiences on the Implementation of Child Protection Policies
Hazel S. Zamora- October 2021- Page No.: 740-745
This study aims to determine the experiences of school heads in the Division of Panabo City on implementing the Child Protection Policy (CPP). An in-Depth Interview (IDI) and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) were conducted to confirm and validate the responses of the school heads. Findings revealed that school heads faced challenges such as the lack of adequate financial and human resources and the negative dispositions of students. In addressing such challenges, it was noted that school heads strictly implemented the policy’s provisions, sought the assistance of various stakeholders, and implemented strong communication efforts. It was then learned that an effective CPP implementation might only happen if school heads employ child-centered and policy-based decision making, establish positive relationships with stakeholders, and strengthen the school’s communication mechanisms. Overall, it is recommended that school heads enjoin stakeholders to participate in the decision-making and implementation of the policy, build relationships with parents, and launch school initiatives following the law, CPP program, and DepEd vision, mission, and core values.

Institutions and Economic Performance: A Critical Evaluation of the Nigeria Economy
Okosu, Napoleon David – October 2021- Page No.: 746-755
The objective of this study is to critically evaluate the impact of institutions on the economic performance of Nigeria. To achieve this, annual time series data were employed from 1999 to 2020. Six institutional quality indicators of Political Stability Index, corruption perception index, Voice and Accountability, Rule of Law, Regulatory Quality, and Ease of Doing Business indicator, were employed as the independent variables while the dependent variable, economic performance was proxied by Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Per Capita. The result indicates that all the indicators of institutional quality have positive impact on economic performance in Nigeria in the period under review. Political Stability Index, Corruption Perception Index, Regulatory Quality and Ease of doing business have significant impact on economic performance while Voice and Accountability as well as Rule of Law had insignificant positive effect. The study concludes that there is the need for strong institutions in Nigeria as it engenders higher economic performance, thus noting that institution is the oil that lubricates the engine of economic growth and development in an economy.

Political Economy of Digital Currency in Africa: stairway to heaven or road to nowhere?
Nantogmah Danaa, Sampson Vivian Esumamba, Alexander Abeiku Odoom – October 2021- Page No.: 756-767
The main purpose of the paper is to assess the nature and types of digital currency and the potential impact of digital currency adoption on African economies. The paper is based on a review of various articles, working papers, books, policy documents and legislations, and relevant websites of central banks as well as other international institutions which provide public information regarding digital currency. A qualitative descriptive design has been adopted in this study. Qualitative content analysis of documents was carried out and semi-structured interview conducted to elicit the views of five (5) key informants.
From the political economy perspective and in the light of prevailing economic conditions of chronic inflation and national currency volatility with the prospects of ‘digital dollarization, the paper argues that Africa ought to launch a single regional digital currency or a digital currency payment platform to address its negative impact rather than the issuance of national CBDCs which has the tendency to magnify the national fiat currency volatility in the digital economy. Additionally, the paper shows that digital currency average per transaction cost is 103.5 times cheaper than Sub-Saharan Africa average cost. It is also 65.5 times and 51.4 times cheaper than the digital remittance index and the global SmaRT average cost respectively. Furthermore, the paper demonstrates that digital currency adoption and spread in Africa is irreversible and Africa governments and regulators should adopt a regional approach to regulation, rather than regulate against digital assets, embrace and invest in robust research into digital currency ecosystem. Finally, in view of the limited research into digital currency adoption and its impact, design and technology options in Africa, the need for future research agenda to focus in these areas cannot be over emphasized.

Self-Efficacy and Locus of Control as Correlates of Senior Secondary School Students Academic Achievement in Biology in Ebonyi State, Nigeria
ATTAMAH, Chisom Precious, Prof. OKOLI, Josephine Nwanneka – October 2021- Page No.: 768-773
This study examined the relationship among locus of control, self-efficacy and senior secondary school students’ academic achievement in Biology in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. The study adopted the correlation survey research design. The sample for the study was 420 senior secondary schools students drawn using the multi-stage sampling technique. Rotters’ Locus of control scale and new general Self-efficacy scale by Chen, Gully and Eden were used in data collection. Pearson product moment correlation coefficient (r) was used in answering the research questions while t-test for correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were used in testing the null hypothesis at level of significance. Results showed that there is a very low relationship between students’ self-efficacy scores and their academic achievement scores in Biology. There is no significant relationship between secondary school students’ self-efficacy scores and their academic achievement scores in Biology. Further more there is a very low relationship between students’ locus of control scores and their academic achievement scores in Biology. There is a significant relationship between secondary school students’ locus of control scores and their academic achievement scores in Biology. There is a moderate positive relationship among self-efficacy, locus of control and secondary school students’ academic achievement in biology. Hence, it could be concluded that the academic achievement of the students could not be ascribed to their self-efficacy or locus of control alone as other factors contribute to the achievement of students in Biology.
