The Role of Sorghum Legume Intercroping System in Improving Soil Productivity on Small Holder Farmers in Western Kenya
Josephine Barasa, Julius Ochuodho, Syphyline Kebeney, Augustine Wafula Barasa – July 2022- Page No.: 01-08
Declining crops yield in the smallholder farmers cropping systems of sub-Saharan African (SSA) present the need to develop more sustainable production systems. Depletion of essential plant nutrients from the soils have been cited as the main contributing factors due to continues cultivation of cereal crops without application of organic/ inorganic fertilizers. Field experiments to evaluate effect of phosphorus (P) fertilizers, organic and integration of legumes in sorghum cropping systems on soil, available nitrogen (N) and P, were conducted in Busia County of Kenya during the short (SRS) and long rain seasons (LRS) of 2016 and LRS of 2017 respectively. The experiments comprised either soybean, common bean groundnut or sesame grown with sorghum. The design was a split plot in a randomized complete block design. Main plots were fertilizer inputs; Mavuno, FYM or their combination. Subplots comprised of the legume intercrops mentioned above. Application of Mavuno, FYM or their combination resulted in significantly higher legume, sesame crop yields above the control in the second season. Legume crops due to their N-fixation, litter fall and mineralization made availability of P and N. possible. Application of Mavuno, FYM or their combination gave comparable results with respect to the intercrop yields. Since FYM and (Mavuno+FYM) is cheaper than Mavuno, growing either soybean, common bean groundnut or sesame intercropping system with sorghum with application of the above is recommended for improved legume grain yields and soil fertility improvement.

Music Administration in Ghana: Examining the Implications and Parameters for Delegating Authority
Gayheart Mawuli Mesiotso – July 2022- Page No.: 09-16
Contextually, this paper employed the principle of line and staff administrative structure by Henri Fayol and the bureaucratic management theory by Max Weber to critically examine communication flow in the administration of Cultural Education in the Ghana Education Service. Attention is also drawn to the parameters and implications for delegation of authority in the service. Discussions were by extension centered on: the organizational structure for Music Administration in the Ghana Education Service as well as the duties and responsibilities of the officers. An interview section with regional and district coordinators produced data for analysis. The study found that; 1. The Cultural Unit across the continuum is hierarchically structured with specific rules governing the exercising of authority at each level, and appointments to positions are grounded in absolute technical competence. 2. Power is vested in the official positions and not in the personalities in charge of these posts. 3. The activities of the Cultural Coordinators extend beyond the organization of cultural festivals for pre-tertiary schools to the monitoring of pedagogical practices in the first and second cycle schools. Culture solidarizes nations with diverse ethnic groups, it is an economic asset, and by extension offers a sense of responsibility that makes people feel connected to their communities. It is, therefore, necessary to have adequate attention paid to its generational transfer to ensure continuity

Experience of Single Motherhood in Interpersonal Growth: A Case of Umoja Embakasi West Sub-County Nairobi, Kenya
Veronicah Njeri Njuguna, Dr. Elizabeth Ngozi Okpalaenwe, Dr. Elijah Macharia Ndung’u – July 2022- Page No.: 17-25
This study focused on the experience of single motherhood in interpersonal growth among single mothers of Umoja Embakasi West Sub-county Nairobi, Kenya. The resilience theory informed the study by Norman Garmezy and the self-determination theory of psychologists Edward Deci and Richard Ryan. The study objective was to establish the attitude of the general population toward single motherhood by single mothers at Umoja Embakasi West Sub-county Nairobi. The researcher adopted a phenomenological design to capture the meaning the single mothers at Umoja give to the phenomena of single motherhood and interpersonal growth. The study used a homogenous population of Christian women at Umoja Embakasi West Sub-County Nairobi with a target population of single mothers. A snowball sampling method was adopted to get a sample size of 27 single mothers currently bringing up a biological or adopted child/ren. The researcher adopted a semi-structured interview guide for data collection through face-to-face interviews for 19 single mothers and a focused group discussion guide for eight single mothers. The collected data were transcribed, coded for themes and analysed thematically through content analysis based on the research objectives. The results revealed that single mothers are misunderstood, stigmatized, and rejected by the general population in Umoja Embakasi West Sub-county Nairobi, Kenya.

The Influence of Educational Mobile Apps Use on Teaching Effectiveness of Lecturers in Public Polytechnics in Ekiti and Ondo states, Nigeria
William, Kayode, Soyemi, O. D., Ajagunna, Adedayo E., Isaruk, Ikpoko-Ore-Ebirien Dike – July 2022- Page No.: 26-33
The quality of teaching being imparted to students is supposed to be of high quality and effective in this information superhighway age. Teaching effectiveness typified with teaching methodologies, classroom management, assessment procedures and content knowledge is of great unease to any tertiary education institution since it furthers the productivity of the institution. In tertiary institutions, like public polytechnics in Ekiti and Ondo states, teaching effectiveness seems to be of poor quality because of students’ low capacity to analytically think, poor lecturers proficiency. Educational mobile apps use can further the teaching effectiveness in any institution of higher learning. Therefore, this study investigated the influence of educational mobile apps use on teaching effectiveness of lecturers in public polytechnics in Ekiti and Ondo States, Nigeria.
The study used survey research design. The population of the study consisted of 116 lecturers and 1,978 students in the three public polytechnics in Ekiti and Ondo states. The lecturers were all enumerated to participate, while Taro Yamane was used to select 333 students’ participants and multistage sampling was used to select the participants from the various faculties, departments and levels. A self-structured validated, and reliable questionnaire was used to gather data. The data collected were analyzed with the use of descriptive statistics, and linear regression.
Findings showed that the most used educational mobile apps was Google Apps for education (GAFE) with a mean score of (x̅=1.64).The result also indicated that there was a weak positive but not significant influence of educational mobile apps use on the teaching effectiveness in public polytechnics in Ekiti and Ondo State, (β=0.027, t = 0.270, p-value>0.05).
The study concluded that educational mobile apps use contributes to teaching effectiveness of lecturers in public polytechnics in Ekiti and Ondo states, Nigeria. It was therefore recommended that the government of Nigeria, through the ministry in charge of education, and National Board for Technical Examinations (NBTE) should carry out continuous awareness program and training for lecturers in public polytechnics on the use of educational mobile apps.

Questionnaire was the main tool for data collection. Cronbach’s alpha reliability of the instruments stood at 0.87. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Simple linear regression was used to test the null hypothesis at .05 significance levels. The study revealed that principals’ monitoring of students’ progress has significant effects on pedagogical practices of teachers (R2=.099, p<.05). It was also established that majority of principals did not review students’ class work and assessment records in determining students’ progress. The study concluded that effective monitoring of students’ progress by principals will significantly enhance teachers’ pedagogical practices in public secondary schools. It was recommended that State Ministries of Education should be organizing training workshop for principals to improve their skills of monitoring the academic progress of students. It was also suggested that principals should intensify supervision of class work and assessment records

The Urgency of Training for Peacekeepers and Family Resilience in Reducing Conflict during Peacekeeping Operations
Andi Muhammad Arief Malleleang, I Gede Sumertha KY, Puguh Santoso, Herlina Juni Risma Saragih – July 2022- Page No.: 52-60
Cultural awareness in peacekeeping operations is gaining traction, particularly among academics, to eradicate the resulting conflict through ideas, points of view, or policies. These policies can identify specific strategies to help each operation succeed. Culture awareness applies not only to peacekeepers but also to their families. This study employs a qualitative approach with data and literature sources on The Importance of Peacekeeper Training and Family Resilience in Conflict Resolution. Peacekeepers use a variety of strategies to reduce the likelihood of cultural clashes. The author approaches pre-deployment training with tolerance and objectivity in all decisions, inter-group coordination, inter-group communication, and inter-group planning. These materials can help people understand UN peacekeeping operations’ fundamental principles, values, and protocols. These principles can guide peacekeepers and their families as they assist countries in transitioning from war to peace. The impact of culture on the success or failure of conflict resolution processes utilized in peacekeeping deployments has been substantial. To preserve their effectiveness as a tool for resolving modern conflicts, peacekeeping operations must make extraordinary efforts to address cultural challenges at all levels of interpersonal interaction and throughout the implementation process

Assessing the correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI) and Blood Pressure (BP) of commercial drivers; a case of Madina lorry station
Monica Anane, Asenso Kennedy, Shalom Adu –Bediako, Endurance Serwaa Asare – July 2022- Page No.: 61-68
The ravages caused by blood pressure on humanity are alarming, especially in Ghana, where voluntary medical check-ups are not a priority for many. This study was a cross-sectional survey with the goal of determining the relationship between commercial drivers’ Body Mass Index (BMI) and Blood Pressure (BP) at the Madina lorry station. Using the purposive sampling technique, 150 male commercial drivers from the Madina main lorry station were chosen for the study. It emerged from the study that there is positive correlation between BMIs and BP measurements among commercial drivers at Madina lorry station and a statistically significant relationship between age and blood pressure of respondents. The study therefore, recommend that GPRTU could organize weekly programs to engage drivers in some physical activities.

Reversal of Gains: The State of Co-Operatives Movement in Eastern Province of Zamba After Liberalisation, 1992-2002
Martin Chabu, Kasebula Francis – July 2022- Page No.: 69-76
The study attempts to discuss the performance and effects of farming co-operatives after liberalisation in Eastern Province of Zambia, 1992-2002. The study also discusses the impact of liberalisation policy on farming co-operatives in Eastern Province. The data collection method was remark favorably on by information from written materials, which includes published and unpublished sources such as articles in journals, books, thesis and dissertations from University of Zambia Repository. Oral interviews were conducted from notable figures who once worked with the co-operatives. The liberalisation of agricultural co-operatives and marketing was expected to provide incentives for the participation of the private sector, with consequences of competitive marketing benefiting smallholder farmers through better marketing arrangements and higher prices. The study determines that liberalization of agriculture co-operatives in Eastern Province had been positive for consumer and private traders. However, there have been a deleterious experience for many farmers and this mistreated agricultural progress during a period 1991-2002, as compared to the UNIP government when co-operatives were fully funded and controlled by government. The findings also suggest that peasant, particularly, the poor were the main losers through unfair trading practices and influence of private traders, and lack of reliable markets for agricultural produce and inputs.

Specific objectives were first, to examine the extent to which social media are used to promote cosmetology services, second, to determine the benefits of social media use in cosmetology services and third to identify the challenges of using social media in cosmetology services. To beef up the study, literature review has been structured itself based on social media, and cosmetology services as well as previous studies relating to use of social media in promotion of cosmetology services. The study used a descriptive survey design, data was collected through a structured questionnaire to customers of cosmetology services and 133 respondents submitted their questionnaire. Also, an interview was conducted to 12 service providers.

With the use of social media cosmetology service providers may incur less cost in marketing while covering a wide range of customers. The use of social media in cosmetology business have greatly reduced the operational costs due to the fact that service providers can now communicate with their customers all over the world without incurring the costs of traveling. The use of social media has enabled the service providers to easily reach out to their customers without the need of physically meeting with them. Due to the fact that social media enhanced cosmetology businesses to reach a wide variety of customers the sales have drastically increased. The service providers who are actively engaging on social media to communicate with customer automatically has increased their visibility and in turn improved their sales

Trade Openness and Economic Growth (A Comparative Study Between Nigeria and Ghana)
Ehoda, Samuel Ngbede, Onoja, Deborah Enecheojo, Adefioye, Edumaretola Gabriel, Bisong, Anthony Ekpang – July 2022- Page No.: 84-93
This study examines the impact of trade openness on economic growth in Nigeria and Ghana covering the period of SAP and POST-SAP from 1986-2016. The study made use of the following theories; Comparative Cost Advantage Theory and Endogenous Growth Model (New Growth Theory). Secondary data were sourced from OECD/World Bank Statistical Publications, CBN Statistical Bulletin, Nigerian Bureau of Statistics and other research publications on the following variables; RGDP which is the dependent variable is used as a proxy for economic growth while TOP, GFCF, FDI and EXR are the explanatory variables. Both descriptive and econometrical techniques such as Unit Root Test and ARDL Bounds Test were employed. The Unit root test reveals that all variables were stationary at first difference while ARDL Bounds test indicated a long-run relationship among the variables. From the findings of this study, trade openness has an insignificant positive relationship on economic growth in Nigeria and Ghana under the period of study. This research work therefore recommends that policies of exchange rate stability and structural trade oriented policies should be adopted in Nigeria and Ghana in order to boost output growth in the economy. In addition, the Ghanaian government needs to invest heavily on infrastructural development and transport related cost. Finally, the government of both economies should create an investment friendly environment and also restructure its financial market so as to propel FDI in the economy.

Perceptions of Teachers Towards Inclusive Education: The Case of Early Childhood Centres in Sissala East District
Ali Yaaku Sumani Mohammed, Seth Badu – July 2022- Page No.: 94-101
The study investigated teacher perception towards inclusive education in Early Childhood Centres in Sissala East District in Upper West Region, Ghana. The study adopted a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design. A sample of 150 teachers in the Early Childhood Education centres were selected using census and homogeneous sampling techniques. Questionnaires and interviews were used for data collection. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the quantitative data while qualitative data were analysed in themes. The study found that: most early childhood teachers in the Sissala East District had a positive perception of inclusive education. It was also evident that most early childhood teachers in the Sissala East District believe that factors such as lack of teacher training; insufficient resources; limited administrative support; teachers’ attitudes; large class sizes and poor building infrastructure influence their perception of inclusive education. The study concluded that teachers in early childhood centres within the Sissala East District have a positive view of inclusive education. However, variables such as a lack of teacher training, insufficient resources, limited administrative support, teachers’ attitudes, large class numbers, and inadequate building infrastructure impact their perspective of inclusive education. Based on the key findings, the study recommended that teachers in early childhood centres in Sissala East District should be motivated by early childhood coordinators and headteachers to have positive perceptions of inclusive education. Again, the ministry of education should offer enough and consistent teacher support services, such as teaching assistants, and continuous professional development programmes to improve the efficacy of inclusion and minimise teacher stress.

The determinants of household insurance product in Zimbabwe
Chitombo Ezekiel and Kosmas Njanike – July 2022- Page No.: 102-109
Noticeable challenges experienced by house owners to restore their property and belongings to original position in the event of theft and fire outbreaks results in the need to have household insurance cover. Household insurance relieves stress and brings peace of mind to the house owner as the fear of risk of future uncertainty is reduced. The study investigates the determinants of household insurance uptake in Zimbabwe.The study used data from finscope Survey 2014 to explore the determinants of household insurance in Zimbabwe. The logit model was used to estimate the determinants of household insurance. The study found out that education, income .financial advice, age and location positively affects the uptake of household insurance. Marital status and social media have a negative relationship. Household insurance can be at the same level of uptake with motor vehicle insurance if the public are advised on the importance to safe guard their homes. Government and insurers must provide a conducive environment and campaign programmes to increase the awareness of household insurance. This untapped potential market will boost the revenue base for the insurance sector. There is need to consider household insurance pricing in the future

External Economic Shocks and Monetary Policy Tools in Nigeria
Terungwa Paul Joseph Jato, Ph.D, Joyce Mbakosun Ayaga. – July 2022- Page No.: 110-119
The study investigated the effect of external economic shocks on monetary policy tools in Nigeria for a period of 1990 to 2020. External economic shocks were measured though their passthrough variables of exchange rate (EXR), foreign direct investment (FDI), external debt (ED), and trade openness (TO); while monetary policy tools were considered in terms of broad money supply (M2), monetary policy rate (MPR) and cash reserve ratio (CRR). The Zivot and Andrews test and the Bayer and Hanck combined cointegration tests were employed to to check for stationarity (with structural breaks) and cointegration among the variables. We then applied the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) test to determine the effect of the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable. The results of the structural indicated that there are structural breaks accounting for the existence of shocks, while the cointegration test showed that the variables are cointegrated. The ARDL test disclosed that external economic shocks (through EXR, FDI, ED, and TO) have significant effect on monetary policy variables. This study therefore recommends that the monetary authorities should safeguard the monetary operations in Nigeria from external economic mishaps that have spillover to the country by making allowance for the external economic shocks in setting these tools and putting in place mechanisms that can make these tools resilient and resistant to the shocks

Phenomenological Research on the Values Systems of the Indonesian Traditional Herb Consumer
Sandi Lenandi Soetrisno Lasmono – July 2022- Page No.: 126-132
Healthy life patterns are essential for human beings. Some Indonesians maintain a healthy life pattern by consuming Indonesian traditional herbs called jamu. The research aims to investigate and explore the attitudes of Indonesian traditional herbal consumers. It is qualitative research with an interpretive paradigm using the phenomenological research design. The informants were chosen purposively with the main criteria: Javanese consumers who regularly consume jamu. The data collection uses in-depth interviews. Then, the collected data is analyzed with an inductive thematic analysis model. The data was validated communicatively, argumentatively, and ecologically. Results of the research stated that the behavior of consuming jamu has been constructed from the habit inherited from generation to generation, from the culture tightly attached to consumers’ self-concept, and from the product characteristics consisting of the product design, product composition, and safety in consuming such product. The values attached to a culture are essential in forming the consumer attitude. Social norms have a significant influence on the formation of behavior. Parents and colleagues become the individuals introducing jamu through the provision of information, knowledge, and advice. The parents’ knowledge of the efficacy of Indonesian traditional herbs plays an essential role in understanding the next generation of Indonesian traditional herbs.

Traffic congestion and demand management measures in Port Harcourt metropolis
Agaviezor, D.T., Emenike*, G.C. and Eludoyin O.S. – July 2022- Page No.: 142-151
Traffic congestion has been a hard bone to chew in our major cities in Nigeria today. Port Harcourt metropolis has its own share of traffic congestion. This study investigated traffic congestion and demand management measures in Port Harcourt metropolis. Data were collected using both primary and secondary sources. 400 structured questionnaires were distributed among all road users comprising driver (private and commercial) passengers, pedestrians, traffic officers in the six traffic zones in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. A traffic count at peak periods of the day was employed to obtain estimated population figures for all road users in the selected route for the study. The sample size of 400 was distributed in four selected route traffic zone 1, 4. 5 and 6, while 66 were distributed among the remaining delineated route traffic 2 and 3. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for the study. All statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 24.0. The result from the study showed that 36.8% of the respondents made very early trips between 6-7am. Also, 53.7% of the respondents usually engage in private trips, while the remaining 46.3% uses public vehicles. The major causes of traffic congestion were non-functional traffic light (35.5%), vehicle accidents – especially trailer accidents that impedes traffic flow (15%), overcrowding- use of too many cars on the road (14.7%), road capacity (11.3%), bad roads (1.3%), drivers’ attitude (3.2%) and lack of alternative route (18.9%). Major challenges of transport management in Port Harcourt were poor town planning (58.7%), inefficient enforcement of planning policies (70.8%), inefficient transport management system (62.9%), lack of maintenance of traffic light (69.5%), poor training of drivers (52.6%) and poorly built roads (46.6%). It is therefore recommended that measures to avert or ameliorate the constraints are provision of adequate feeder routes, improved traffic light system, training of prospective drivers, extension of roads and putting in place adequate transport management measures.

Assessing Exchange Rate Volatility and Economic Growth in Nigeria: A Garch Model Approach
Okosu, Napoleon David – July 2022- Page No.: 152-163
This study has examined the impact of exchange rate volatility on economic growth in Nigeria from the year 1981 to the year 2020. The study adopted secondary data (i.e. time series) obtained from World Bank National Account data and Central Bank of Nigeria Annual Statistical Bulletins, subjecting them to statistical analysis for relevant inferences to be made. Five variables were used in the study which were Growth rate of Gross Domestic Product (GRGDP), Exchange Rate Volatility (EXRV), Balance of Trade (BOT), Oil Price (OILP) and Inflation (INF) Rate. The variables were subjected to unit root test and they were stationary at different order of I(0) and I(1). Since the Variables were not all stationary at level but a mixed series, the ARDL bound test of cointegration was used to test for cointegration among them. Using the bound test, the variables were found to be cointegrated at 1% level of significance. The ARDL result indicated that; Exchange rate volatility has a significant impact on economic growth, with the impact being negative. In addition, other economic variables such as inflation has a negative and significant impact on economic growth while oil price have a positive and significant impact on economic growth. On the other hand, BOT has a positive effect on growth but the impact was significant at the 10 percent level. From the findings the study recommended that foreign exchange market should be well monitored with a view to ensuring that only ventures that would engender value added production in the real sector and export-oriented businesses should have more access. This will help to increase the value of the naira against major world currencies.

When The Pasture Is Greenless: Nigeria, Libya and the Return of Slave Trade in Africa
Akpan, Nse Etim, Ph.D, Nnorom, Kingsley, Ph.D – July 2022- Page No.: 164-173
There has been a serious apprehension about Nigerian youths leaving the country in search of the proverbial greener pastures. Similarly, a fundamental shift in migration patterns occurred when the routes through Libya, long used by economic migrants making their way to Europe, became formalized as highway for modern slave trade. This paper adopts a qualitative research design with reliance on secondary sources of data and argues that Nigerians have been trafficked into slavery either in the transit country as Libya or the country of destination mostly in Europe. It observed that there seem to be a failure of expectations from Nigerians who on arrival in these countries realize that the pasture is no longer green as they are sold out as slaves, used for sex labor or thrown into torture chambers on accusation of irregular migration. The paper discovers that there are syndicates and cartels responsible for this illicit trade while a lot of money is made through the conduits used to lure these youths into the illegal business. It equally uncovers that a mere securitization of migration through fences and push-backs will not stop the flow of Nigerians as the Libyan economy seems to benefit from the money made from irregular migrants. The paper concludes that there is need for proper collaboration and intensification of action by the Nigerian and Libyan governments to arrest this ugly trend.

Introduction to The Influence of Warm Data on Risk Leadership
Apanisile Samuel Temitope and Prof Olalekan Asikhia – July 2022- Page No.: 174-176
This paper would establish that organizations as a complex adaptive system are made up of interacting parts. The interaction generates data which is known as warm data. This type of data is nonlinear in nature and easily contextualize or map the interdependent variables and tail- risks that leaders and decision makers face on a day-to-day basis in a system. Up until now, there has been no computing way to deliver holistic signals and patterns that enable leaders and their teams to gain insight and foresight during interactions and conversations which help in uncovering and resolving their biases and blind spots. Warm data would assist leaders in cutting through the risk and fuzziness of complex internal and external environment in order to gain agility during ambiguity, clarity during complexity, understanding during uncertainty, optionality during instability, vision during volatility and certainty during chaos.

Farmers-Herders’ Conflict and Agricultural Development in Benue State
Ogbe, Juliana Ekonyohe, Ogali, Mathew Dayi (Dr.) – July 2022- Page No.: 189-197
Political leaders often introduce agricultural strategies and policies with the aim of boosting agricultural development in Benue State and other States in Nigeria. Unfortunately, the conflict that occurs between farmers and herders has constituted a major threat to the development of the agricultural sector in Benue State. This study examined the phenomenon of farmers-herders’ conflict and agricultural development in Benue State, 2010-2022. An objective of this study was to examine the effect of the farmers-herders’ conflict on agricultural development in Benue State. The theory of eco-violence which focuses on the competition over scarce ecological resources guided this study. Also, qualitative research design which relied on data sourced from secondary sources such as archival materials, textbooks and journals were employed for this study. Data were content analysed. This paper showed that over the years, being that Benue is an agrarian State, many agricultural policies and programmes have been introduced by successive governments in the State to boost agriculture and possibly grow the economy. Unfortunately however, the farmers-herders conflicts amidst many challenges have posed as obstacles to the actualisation of substantial agricultural development in Benue State. The anti-social actions of herders have made some analysts to refer to them as “social misfits”. As a matter of fact, this paper argued that despite the existence of a law to guide and regulate pastoralists-farmers relationship in Benue State, herders–farmers’ conflicts and related killings have continued to persist. The resultant effect of this is the gradual erosion of agro-investors’ confidence, growing fear of farmers to venture into farming and a decline in agricultural development in the State. This study therefore, recommends a collaborative and holistic approach in curbing the pastoral-farmers’ conflicts as well as the robust formulation and implementation of agricultural policies and programmes that will trigger agricultural development in Benue State

Pande Gde Bagus Naya Primananda, Ni Nyoman Kerti Yasa, I Putu Gde Sukaatmadja, Putu Yudi Setiawan – July 2022- Page No.: 198-202
The development of the image of the destination continues to grow so that research is needed that can determine future research gaps. This rapid development inspired us to conduct a recent literature review on destination image. In this study we update the literature review introduced in previous studies (Li et al., 2015) and define research gaps to be conducted. To achieve the objectives of this study, the researcher details the image research of selected destinations from 2012-2019 which was carried out to review the latest findings. The result is a brief summary of the destination image research based on the attributes used, analysis, number of samples and type of sample.

The Policy Process of the Philippines’ Conditional Cash Transfer Program: Analysis of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps)
Ella Joy A. Ponce – July 2022- Page No.: 203-209
The Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) program in the Philippines popularly known as the 4Ps or the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program aimed to improve the lives of poor Filipinos and promote better health and social status. This paper discussed the policy process of the 4Ps starting from problem identification to the agenda setting, then policy formulation/legitimation up to the implementation and evaluation. Through a review of related literature, public policy theories and frameworks such as the Black Box, Kingdon’s Streams Metaphor, etc. were used in explaining the various stages of the program. Data from the World Bank, NEDA, and DSWD were also presented in order to provide evidence for the different stages of the policy process of the program. Originally, the 4Ps targeted children 0-14 years old, however, it was changed to 0-18 years so as to address the need of the beneficiaries’ children to at least finish high school so as to have a relatively good job. Moreover, the 4Ps started with 284 thousand beneficiaries since its inception in 2008. In 2016, the program covers 79% of the poor households in the country which demands more budgets for the program. The formulation and legitimation of the 4Ps can be deduced from the discussion of Curry, et. al. (2013) of whether the 4Ps was truly an adoption of the Bolsa Familia or just an imitation of it. The cost-benefit evaluation of the 4Ps from the vantage point of a transnational actor has rendered it feasible to still be implemented and continued.

City Diplomacy amid Regional Integration: A Philippine Perspective on the ASEAN Smart Cities Network
Jovito Jose P. Katigbak, Jeremie P. Credo – July 2022- Page No.: 210-215
The significance of local actors in regional integration was reaffirmed in November 2018 upon the adoption of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Smart Cities Network (ASCN) Framework. The ASCN is envisaged as a collaborative platform where member cities can discuss and resolve the challenges brought about by rapid urbanization. It can thus be said that it fundamentally espouses the role of city diplomacy as an important means and end in the successful realization of sustainable urbanization. In the Philippines’ case, the involvement of Manila, Cebu, and Davao as pilot cities is mainly catalyzed by two factors, namely, the need to address the interests of their communities and as an expression of solidarity with other ASEAN cities. Further, the participation of these local government units (LGUs) in diplomatic activities at the regional level primarily focus on economic, cultural, cooperative, and representative dimensions. To effectively address enforcement-related challenges, LGUs may undertake capacity-building activities, advance a whole-of-society approach, tap new financing schemes, ensure project continuity, and expand the ASCN to include other cities.

Mobile Phones Dependency and Psychological Wellbeing of Students in Selected Secondary Schools in Nairobi County- Kenya
Cyprien Nkoma, Elijah Macharia Ndungú, PhD, Maria Ntarangwe, PhD – July 2022- Page No.: 216-225
The use of mobile phones among secondary school students is of concern when looking at the increase of violent behaviors in schools. The mobile phone use and the psychological wellbeing of secondary school students has become an issue of interest for research. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the time spent on mobile phone use and the psychological wellbeing of secondary school students in Nairobi County, Kenya. The study used an embedded mixed method research design. A Multistage sampling method was employed in selecting the 7 schools, and the sample size of 357 respondents. Data was collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficients was used for data analysis. The main findings of this study showed a strong positive correlation between time spent on the use of mobile phones and the psychological wellbeing of secondary school students (0.885). The study also found out that there was a strong positive correlation between time spent on the mobile phones and the aspect of personal growth (0.985) and the self-acceptance (0.980). There was a moderate positive correlation between time spent on the use of mobile phones and the environmental mastery (0.60), the purpose in life (0.528) and the positive relations with others (0.457). There was a weak positive correlation between time spent on the use of mobile phones and the autonomy (0.004). The study recommends that the school administration should establish counselling facilities which can address the issues related to mobile phones use among secondary school students.

Appropriation of Micropolitics by the Neoliberal States: A Theoretical Intervention
Mohammad Raihan Sharif – July 2022- Page No.: 226-232
The article focuses on the reception of micropolitics by the neoliberal nation states. It argues that the neoliberal states in recent times have combined strategies and tactics to maintain their grip on their citizens. It is a theoretical intervention in the sense that while Scott (2008) and Certeau (2011) identify micropolitics in the everyday life of the poor and the weak, the present chapter argues that even the neoliberal states apply micropolitics and tactics. In fact, only within this combination, within dialectical relations between strategies and tactics, any tactic is worth pursuing—an issue this paper foregrounds. Drawing upon Mbembe’s ideas, this chapter focuses on the contexts of necrocapitalism within which the neoliberal states deploy tactics. This chapter also identifies differentiation—how the neoliberal state keeps its citizens divided and separated

Use of Google Classroom as Participation and Performance Enhancer Among Basic Science Postgraduates in Some Universities in Nigeria
Julius Olugbenga ADEDAYO & Lois Folasayo AJAYI – July 2022- Page No.: 233-237
The study is an empirical survey of the influence of Google classroom on the participation level and academic performance of Postgraduates in Nigerian Universities. It adopted quasi-experimental research. The targeted population was the Basic Science students at master’s level in Nigeria Universities. The sample consisted of 42 postgraduates of Science Education drawn from three Universities in the South Western part of Nigeria through the multistage sampling technique. Out of these, 26 students formed the experimental group while 16 constituted the control group. One research question was raised while five hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. There were two research instruments for the study namely the Students’ Participation Scale (SPS) and Students’ Performance Test (SPT) and there was a package for the Google Classroom Lecture Note designed by the researchers. The instruments were validated by experts in Test, Measurement and Evaluation (TME) and Science Education, all from the Faculty of Education, Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti. The reliability of the instruments was done through test re-test reliability test which yielded correlation coefficients of 0.72 and 0.84 respectively at 0.05 level of significance. The administration of the study lasted six weeks in three stages (pretest, treatment and post-test stages). The result of the study revealed that those taught with Google classroom have higher participation mean scores than those in the control group. It also showed that there was a significant difference in the performance mean scores of experimental and control groups. However, no significant difference was noticed in the participation and performance mean scores of male and female postgraduate students in the experimental group.

Strategic Health Purchasing and Health System Performance in Nigeria
Saheed O. Olayiwola, Francis O. Adeyemi – July 2022- Page No.: 238-245
Purchasing has been adopted by many countries as a mechanism to achieve greater efficiency and improved responsiveness of services to patient demands. This study examined the effects of strategic health purchasing on health system performance in Nigeria. The data for the study was collected using a purposive sampling survey in the Akure metropolis. The results indicated a positive relationship between health system performance and purchasing strategy, payment mechanism and service utilisers with the regression coefficients of 0.30, 0.16 and 0.33. This implied that purchasing strategy, payment mechanism and service utilisers are likely to improve health system performance. The results also revealed a positive relationship between each of the health system performance measurement dimensions (life expectancy, the performance of different areas of health services, distribution of access to health facilities, fairness of health financing, prompt attention to medical needs and purchasing strategy, providers payment mechanism and service utilisers. It was concluded that health system performance can be improved by the implementation of strategic health purchasing. Therefore, paying for health care services should be made strategic and rules relating to auditing and accountability should be made more effective

Effect of Metacognitive Learning Approach on Students’ Motivation to Learn Mathematics in Public Secondary Schools in Kitui County, Kenya
Kithinji Rugendo Wairambu, Prof Nelson Jagero (PhD) – July 2022- Page No.: 246-252
The present study investigated the effect of the Metacognitive learning approach on students’ motivation to learn mathematics based on the topic Formulae and Variation in mathematics. A Quasi-experimental design and in particular Solomon Four Design was employed for the study. A stratified random sampling technique was used to select four boys’ and four girls’extra county participating secondary schools. Assignment of groups to either experimental or control group was done through simple random sampling. A sample size of 360 form three students was used in the study. Students in the experimental groups were taught Formulae and Variations using Metacognitive Learning Approach (MLA) while control groups were taught the same topic using Conventional Teaching Approach (CTA). The research instrument for data collection was Academic Motivation Scale (AMS). Data analysis was undertaken with the help of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25.0 software. The study showed that Metacognitive Learning Approach (MLA) resulted to higher levels of students’ scores in motivation towards learning of mathematics. The study recommends that teacher training institutions, Kenya Curriculum (KICD) and mathematics teachers should enact MLA approach as a preferred mathematics learning approach in Kenyan secondary schools. The findings of the study form basis for future research on innovative teaching approaches in mathematics education

Effects of sanctions on Zimbabwe (2000-2020)
Tapfuiwa James Katsinde (Dr) – July 2022- Page No.: 253-259
The study evaluated the imposition and effects of sanctions on Zimbabwe. The study is guided by exchange theory. This was a desk research which used the internet and secondary sources. The study revealed that the imposition of sanctions is regarded differently by those who imposed them and by those on whom the sanctions were imposed. Each side explains the imposition of sanctions on the basis of their own interests. For the Zimbabwean government and the ruling party sanctions were imposed as a result of the land reform carried out by the government to solve the uneven distribution of land in the country. On the other hand, the western countries who imposed sanctions explain the sanctions as being caused by the Zimbabwean government’s failure to respect human rights and lack of rule of law. The study also reveals that there is divergent interpretation of whether the sanctions were legal or illegal. The Zimbabwean government believe that the sanctions were illegal as they did not have the blessing of the United Nations but those who imposed the sanctions believe they were legal as they passed through their parliamentary institutions. Sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe had a negative impact on the economy to a certain extent as they are other factors for the economic instability in the country. It is recommended that the Zimbabwean government should try to improve the political environment in the country to influence those who imposed sanctions to remove them

Skill-based Intervention Programme for Children in Conflict with Law: An Innovative Approach from University of Calcutta
Sanjukta Das, Saranya Banerjee, Saptak Chatterjee, Sanchari Roy – July 2022- Page No.: 260-266
A major population of youth is increasingly engaging in law violation activities which has become a matter of concern all over the world. The need of the hour calls for a rehabilitation programme designed to cater to the needs and deficits of conflict with law. Keeping this view in mind, a Skill Based Intervention Programme (SBIP) has been developed for CCL. The SBIP consisted of two sets of modules of group sessions: Direct Application of Psychological Principles and Application of Psychological Principles using Music and there was also another module for Individual Psychological sessions. Post the development of the Intervention Programme, the SBIP was conducted on 93 males within the age range 12-17 years. Pre-post intervention data was collected using the Adaptive Behaviour Checklist for CCL, specially developed to meet the requirements of the module. Data for Pre-intervention assessment was collected from 93 males. However, data for post assessment intervention could be collected only from 59 adolescents who participated in the entire Intervention programme. Results indicated significant differences between the pre-intervention and the post-intervention scores, the post-intervention scores significantly higher than the pre-intervention score. Change processes have been enumerated in the discussion

Effects of Speech and Language Disorders in Early Childhood
Dr Stephen M. Nzoka – July 2022- Page No.: 267-269
This paper is developed on the philosophy that disabilities, be they congenital or adventitious, should not necessarily be handicaps if timely medical, educational and technological interventions have been put in place, (Barraga 1986). This augment remains true and valid whether the child is in a monolingual or multilingual context. The theme before us puts emphasis on child’s developmental disorders in a ‘multilingual context’ implying the sort of consequences or effects that would follow such a child with a defective speech and language disorders. Such effects encompass isolation, labeling, child abuse, segregation, stigma, nicknaming to name but a few. To worsen the matter, such dehumanizing practices take place at home, school, church/mosque, village and community affecting a child of 2 years to 8 years.
Undoubtedly, the above social barriers apply to all categories of children. In this paper, however, special attention will be given to pre-primary and primary school going children (2 years to 8 years) with speech and language disorders, (Nzoka 2021). Speech and language are here taken to be one and complementary. In fact, there would be no language without speech. Defective speech organs often lead to language disorders, (Hallahan and Kauffman, 1991). Children with hearing impairment, autism spectrum, children with emotional and behavioral disorders, children with physical impairment and children with multiple disorders are examples. It is these disorders that lead to disabilities unless timely intervened

Influence of Demographic Variables on the Attitude towards the Same Gender Relationships among University Students in Nairobi County, Kenya
Wambua Pius Muasa (PhD) – July 2022- Page No.: 270-274
In Africa, homosexuality has been considered morally wrong and against the African culture. Globally, studies have shown negative attitude towards the same gender relationship among the university students. However, there is lack of similar studies with among university students in Kenya and therefore, the objective this study was to establish the influence of demographic variables of age, gender, and level of education on the attitude towards the same gender relationship among university students in Nairobi County, Kenya. The study employed correlational design. Through simple random sampling the study utilized a sample size of 294 participants. The data was collected using the demographic details of the participants and attitude towards homosexuality scale. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and one WAY ANOVA. The results showed that all the demographic variables (age, gender and education level) had insignificant predictive relationship with attitude towards homosexuality, p≤ 0.05.

Assessment of Awareness of Climate Change Among Subsistent Farmers in Gwagwalada Area Council, Abuja
EKPO, C. G. and HARUNA, I. O. – July 2022- Page No.: 275-282
This study assessed awareness about climate change among subsistent farmers in Gwagwalada Area Council, Abuja. The descriptive survey design was employed. From a population of subsistent farmers across the Area Council, a sample size of 180 was selected from six communities using the simple random sampling technique. Climate Change Awareness Assessment Scale (CCAAS), a questionnaire design on a 4-point Likert scale format was used for data collection. Descriptive statistics including frequency counts, percentage, and mean (x) were used for data analysis. Results of the study revealed that lack of awareness about climate change among subsistent farmers in Gwagwalda Area Council has impact on their adaptation mechanisms to climate change. It was recommended among others that environmental education either in formal or informal setting be employed in effective creation of awareness about climate change to subsistent farmers to boost agricultural production in Gwagwalada Area Council, Abuja

Influence of Network actors on Entrepreneurship Development among Uwezo Funded Youth Groups in Kitui County, Kenya
Kirk Mutua, Dr Stephen Ntuara Kiriinya – July 2022- Page No.: 283-287
The Kenyan government, in line with the Medium-Term Plan (MTP) of Vision 2030, chose to support start-ups and growth of youth enterprises by providing an enabling environment and facilitating support programmes that develop the business sector. This study examines the influence of business network actors on entrepreneurship development among Uwezo funded youth groups in Kitui County, Kenya. The findings are useful to the government of Kenya, agencies involved in the management of youth funds as they can be guided on what to capture while reviewing or developing policies related to the role of business networking factors on entrepreneurship development. This study adopted a descriptive research design. The target population was 336 youth group leaders from the Uwezo Funded youth-owned SMEs in Kitui County. Stratified random sampling technique was used in selecting a sample size of 102 respondents. The study used both primary and secondary data. Primary data was collected by use of semi-structured questionnaires; the questionnaires included structured and unstructured questions. The questionnaires were administered by use of a drop off and pick up later method while secondary data was obtained from Uwezo Fund reports and group financial statements. Statistical Package for Social Sciences was used to analyze the quantitative data. Further, quantitative data was analyzed by use of descriptive and inferential statistics. Qualitative data was analyzed using textual analysis and the results were presented using narrations (in prose form). The study found out that, network actors influenced entrepreneurship development of Uwezo funded youth groups. From the findings, it was recommended that Uwezo fund management should consider organizing sensitization meetings for group leaders on how to identify and work with network actors. Further research should be undertaken to examine other contributors to entrepreneurship development and in other Kenya Counties as well

Domination of Colonial Law in The Middle of Indonesian Moslem Society
Muhammad Nur Islami – July 2022- Page No.: 288-295
I. BACKGROUND OF THE PROBLEMS
This short article intends to explain the major problems faced by Indonesia since been colonized by a foreign nation (in this case mainly the Netherlands) for three and a half centuries with all its consequences, namely the existence of foreign law until now in Indonesia, including the influence of European culture in the life of people who are predominantly muslim with the traditions and culture of course different from the tradition and culture of the colonial. Circumstances should be terminated immediately it can certainly be felt by everyone that upholds and respects the religious laws adopted by the muslim majority of Indonesia’s population. After 70 years of Indonesian independent, largely of colonial law is still exist in the entire territory of Indonesia. Indonesian people seemed no longer care about these issues, or at least only a small part of Indonesian society are seriously thinking about it. And for a great nation like Indonesia should the laws of society are in accordance with the community’s culture, and culture is a culture that is supposed to be created/built on the majority religion in this country embraced the religion of Islam. So, it can be said that the law should be the law of Indonesia are built on the teachings and culture of Islam, but the reality showed that the laws of the Dutch Law such as ‘Wetboek van Straftrecht’, ‘Burgerlijk Wetboek’ and ‘Wetboek van Koophandel’ are still apply today

Investigating and Addressing Oil Related Conflicts in Niger Delta: A Case Study of Warri
Falode I.A and Egunjobi, L – July 2022- Page No.: 309-314
The Niger Delta area of Nigeria has the largest reserves of oil and gas in West Africa yet is the most polluted in the world. Sequel to oil exploration and development, the land, water and air environment used to be green. However, the increasing petroleum pollution of the Niger Delta environment since oil exploitation began in Oloibiri in 1956 has resulted into alarming rise in poverty levels birthing violent conflicts and fatalities among the major stakeholders including oil companies, government and the people of Niger Delta. The ongoing conflict in the Niger Delta started in the early 1990s with Warri becoming the epicenter of regional violence. Recent efforts towards ending conflict and insecurity such as declaration of amnesty and 13% derivation principle has not yielded much success. The objective of this study is to investigate the root cause of oil related conflicts and examine different traditional approaches such as elder’s intervention, inter-marriage, oath-taking in view of adopting the best method in proffering lasting solutions to the lingering crisis in Warri. The study area is Warri Township in Delta State, Nigeria. It is located on latitudes 50 27′ N and 50 36′ N and longitudes 50 40’E and 50 48′ E. It is one of the largest and oldest towns in Delta State and located on the banks of the lower Niger Delta. The study employed the tool of survey questionnaire to acquire data relating to conflict and conflict resolution methods in Warri Township. Two hundred (200) copies of questionnaire were administered to the residents of Warri community using random sampling technique in 5 selected communities among the Ijaw, Urhobo and Itsekiri tribes of Warri where conflict is preponderant which gives room for equal chance of any resident to be chosen in the study area. Descriptive statistics was used to explain the frequencies of the variables in terms of their percentage. Results of the analysis show that the management of conflict in this town must embrace the use of negotiation, mediation, public participation as well as the traditional methods of peaceful coexistence such as, intervention of elders, oath-taking and inter-tribal marriage. It is recommended that Stakeholders must ensure that conflicting parties understand each other’s culture, weaken stereotype they have of each other, ultimately to enhance effective intercultural communication.

Revisiting the Ajaokuta Steel Company Limited ASCL as Development Driver in Nigeria: The Policy Alternative
Shidali Nasiru Ph.D., Maiye B. Olusegun – July 2022- Page No.: 315-321
This paper has revisited the Ajaokuta Steel Company Limited as development driver in Nigeria with a view to presenting pragmatic policy alternatives. It sought to find out the socio-economic contributions of the solid minerals sector to Nigeria’s economic development and look into how corruption has hampered the contributions of the Ajaokuta Steel Company limited to Nigeria’s economic emancipation. Data were collected from both primary and secondary sources with structured questionnaire administered to both staff of the company and members of the host communities while structural-functionalism served as the theoretical framework. Findings showed that there are inadequate and holistic development policies in the country and that one of the reasons that can explain that is the neglect of the solid mineral sector in general which has the capacity to industrialize the country. Also, it was discovered that majority of Nigerians have realized the urgent need for economic diversification if Nigeria must attain the much desired national economic development through industrialization. Ajaokuta iron and steel company has the capacity to increase the country’s GDP, reduce social inequality, unemployment and poverty rate which have widened in the country. The paper recommends that there is need for definite revamping efforts for steel plants by the government through the Federal Ministry of Mines and Solid Minerals. This will provide the legal framework for mining as well as miners in Nigeria. Also, the government should carry out a comprehensive inventory of the country’s mineral resource potentials and actively promote the development of these resources for both local and foreign consumptions as this will encourage the development of local sources of raw materials for the nation’s industries.

Influence of Single Parenting on the Education of Junior High School Students of Effiduase in the New Juaben North Municipality
Derrick Nii Quarcoopome Sackey, Albert Bekoe Mensah, Paul Williams Obeng – July 2022- Page No.: 322-328
This study was conducted to investigate the influence of single parenting on the education of junior high school students of Effiduase in the New Juaben North Municipality of the Eastern Region of Ghana. The stratified random sampling technique was used to sample one hundred and eighty students from three junior high schools for the study. A close-ended questionnaire was used to gather data from the respondents sampled for the study. Data were analysed using frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviation. Based on the findings of the study, it is concluded that the causes of single parenting at Effiduase in the New Juaben North Municipality include death of parent, and separation. Also, the study concluded that the challenges students from single parenting families encounter include students do not easily socialize in the classroom and they exhibit signs of low self-esteem. In addition, the study concluded that the effect of single parenting on the education of junior high school students include students were frequently absent from school and hence, they scored low marks in class exercises. The study recommends that stakeholders of education including teachers, parents, and opinion leaders at Effiduase in the New Juaben North Municipality need to put in place appropriate mechanisms to reduce separation, desertion, and unplanned pregnancy which are rampant in the Effiduase Community. Also, teachers and parents should solicit the assistance of philanthropists in the Effiduase Community to come to the aid of brilliant but needy students from single parent families.

Fatek (Tattoo): An Ethnic Bontoc Marker in the Northern Philippines
Arnel M. Kisofen – July 2022- Page No.: 329-334
The Bontok Igorots of Mountain Province, in the Cordillera Region, are one of the Philippine tribes that practiced traditional tattooing. The reasons and meanings of their tattoos could be better understood through the traditional context of Bontoc culture. To determine the cultural significance of tattoos to the Bontoks, the descriptive survey investigation was used to explore the tribe’s physical and socio-cultural practice of tattooing (fatek); discover the changes in the practice and perceptions of tattoo as well as its implication in the traditional and contemporary Bontoc society. The study’s primary informants included Bontoc elders with first-hand experiences and knowledge in the practice of traditional tattooing and young people with tattoos.
The findings of the study showed that the traditional tattoo in traditional Bontoc society conveyed symbolic meanings, especially among the male members of the tribe. The chaklag is a symbol of status and at the same time a part of the rite of passage. On the other hand, women’s tattoos in Bontoc had no significant meaning but purely for decorative purposes and social acceptance. This study unfolds many unique and indigenous tattoo symbols which contribute to the development of local art. The changing attitudes and perceptions toward tattoos by the contemporary Bontoc community is a tug of war between the older and younger generation. The advancement of technology made tattooing more convenient thus, attracting many young people in Bontoc to have tattoos. Further, tattooing has become part of the health and beauty industry and many young professionals and teenagers are having positive attitudes and perceptions toward tattoos. Today, the impact of tattoos in the Bontoc society is closely felt in the loss of their cultural and symbolic meanings and thus ceased to be an ethnic marker for the Bontoc tribe. In the area of economy, it is beginning to draw clients from young professionals and teenagers. It has likewise become an established career and business causing the development of innovated creative art.

Empirical Study of The Effect of Quality Environmental Information Disclosure on Firm’s Performance of Listed Brewery Firms in Nigeria
Agu, Stephen Ikechukwu; Ani, Michael Uchenna & Jideofor, Ngozi Annastacia – July 2022- Page No.: 335-341
This study ascertained the effect of quality environmental information disclosure on firm’s performance of listed Brewers in Nigeria. The main motivation was on the need to show the effect of environmental disclosure in aggregated variable on performance of Brewery firms in Nigeria. The main objective was to ascertain the effect of quality environmental information disclosure on firm’s performance of listed Brewery firms in Nigeria. An ex-post facto research design was adopted for this study. Secondary data were carefully sourced from the annual reports of the Brewery firms quoted on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Content and Disclosure Index were used to analyze environmental information disclosure. The data span from 2008 to 2019. Panel least square regression test by aid of E-views 10.0 software was used to test the effect of Environmental disclosure index on return on asset, return on equity and on net profit margin. The results showed that Environmental information disclosures significantly affect return on asset of listed Brewery firms in Nigeria. The findings further revealed that Environmental information disclosures do not significantly affect return on equity of listed Brewery firms in Nigeria. Finally, the result established also that Environmental information disclosures significantly affect net profit margin of listed Brewery firms in Nigeria. Consequent upon the findings, the study recommends need for Mandatory disclosure practices by Brewery firms, enforced by government to enable them take responsibility on disclosure of environmental performance data in annual report.

A Review on the Psychological Reactions after a Presidential Election
Almyrah Anudin, Mary Gacrama, Paulo Natividad, Miko Miguel, Charlene Mane Sulit, Mary Rachelle Wapano – July 2022- Page No.: 342-349
This paper is a review of the psychological reactions of young adults to any presidential turnout from 2006-2022. The studies generally revealed the occurrence of numerous psychological reactions and coping strategies after the election turnout. The existing literature is scarce in explaining the psychological reactions among voters, their coping strategies after the loss of their preferred candidate, their sense of fulfillment and life satisfaction after the victory of their preferred candidates, as well as their interpersonal and social relationships among family and friends. This review of literature then attempts to capture from existing studies the positive and negative psychological reactions of young adults following a Presidential election turnout and their coping reactions to the loss of their preferred candidates, and the possible impact on their well-being, their sense of fulfillment, and the sense of satisfaction when their preferred candidates won the election cycle. The review shows that voters of the losing candidate show signs of stress among other factors from the result of the elections with those who have maladaptive coping mechanisms showing higher overall levels; voters of winning candidates show signs of elation.

Arsenio T. Bignotia, PhD; Sharon Candy Manguerra-Mahusay, PhD; Jeetendra Vaswani, DBA – July 2022- Page No.: 350-361
The Philippine government has long been advocating for the development and advancement of the Business and Entrepreneurship disciplines in higher education. Its inclusion in the priority programs for scholarship grants is a testimony of the government acknowledgement of the entrepreneurs as among the driving forces that steer the country’s economy. The research study intended to ascertain the business involvement of individuals who completed their degree in BS Entrepreneurship from St. Paul University Manila (SPU Manila), for years 2015 to 2020, particularly amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Likewise, its main consideration was to discover entrepreneurial competencies appropriate to the new environment. It also determined the entrepreneurial challenges and opportunities brought about by the dramatic changes in the said landscape. The study employed mixed design in analyzing the data while utilizing the descriptive method to illustrate not only the encounters of the selected participants, but also the skills and competencies required to take on the changes in the new business setting. With this, the study revealed that enhancements in the BS Entrepreneurship Program curriculum is needed to equip its graduates with more know-how and proficiency to minimize the challenges they are facing. Such enhancements should also aid them in understanding and navigating industry trends, employment opportunities, and collaboration with industries

Unraveling the Efficacy of Differentiated Based Instruction on Senior Secondary School Students’ Achievement in Quadratic Equation
Ukwueze Timothy Chinedu, Ugwuanyi Chika. C. & Ogbu Sunday – July 2022- Page No.: 362-367
The study investigated the efficacy of differentiated dased instruction (DBI) on students’ achievement in quadratic equation in Obollo-Afor Education Zone of Enugu State. To achieve the purpose of the study, two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. The design of the study was quasi-experimental; specifically non-equivalent control group design. The population of the study comprised four thousand eight hundred and twenty (4,820) SSS 2 students found in the forty-eight (48) public secondary schools in Obollo-Afor Education zone of Enugu state. The sample of the study consists of 162 students from four (4) intact classes from four schools. The sample of four (4) schools were drawn using proportionate Stratified random sampling techniques in which two (2) schools were assigned to experimental group and the other two (2) schools were assigned to control group. Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) was the instrument used for the study. The instrument was validated by three experts and the reliability index obtained was 0.89 using Kuder Richardson 20 formula. The data collected were analyzed using SPSS and mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The results of the study revealed that differentiated based instruction improved students’ achievement in quadratic equation than conventional based instruction of teaching quadratic equation. Also, gender has no significant influence on the achievement of students in quadratic equation. Based on the findings, it was recommended that mathematics teachers should use the differentiated based instruction while teaching the subject. Moreover, ministry of education should organize workshops, seminars, conferences etc and make the attendance to it compulsory to the mathematics teachers on the use of differentiated based instruction in their classroom instruction

The Impact of Financial Inclusion on Economic Growth and Social Development in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
Dina Azzam Alshanty – July 2022- Page No.: 368-375
Purpose: Based on available detailed data, the primary objective of this study is to assess the relationship between financial inclusion and economic growth & social development in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, then accord relevant recommendations to prompt economic growth and social development.
Methodology: This study’s methodological approach is based on data analysis from 2007 to 2020, which was performed using a descriptive statistical approach, regression, and correlation analysis (i.e. the Pearson correlation).
Findings: Findings reveal a significant relationship between financial inclusion and both economic growth and social development, implying that increasing financial inclusion may lead to an increase in economic growth and social development. In addition, that the Central Bank of Jordan and financial institutions have to continue their work on developing appropriate financial products and services for all segments of society, as well as on enhancing financial literacy, which can benefit in two ways: making more informed financial decisions and using the financial products and services responsibly.
Practical implications: According to the findings of the study, encouraging more people to use financial products and services and expanding formal financial access can boost Jordan’s economic growth and social development. The Jordanian policy makers should continue down the same path of prioritizing financial inclusion because they have already engaged all key stakeholders in the financial system.
Originality/value: The study demonstrates the link between financial inclusion and financial development in Jordan and emphasizes the importance of policymakers and financial institutions in designing and implementing projects and initiatives to increase access to financial services.

Potential Pollution of Mahakam Cascade Lake Water Pollution (Semayang Lake, Melintang Lake and Jempang Lake) From Garbage and Household Waste
Lariman, Mislan – July 2022- Page No.: 376-382
Mahakam Kaskade Lake (Semayang Lake, Melintang Lake and Jempang Lake) is the largest flood exposure lake in East Kalimantan. The villages in Semayang Lake, Melintang Lake and Jempang Lake are settlements that are regularly flooded every year, while for generations the people in the research area have used lake water as a source of bathing, washing and latrine (MCK) water. Sources of lake water pollution are domestic waste in the form of organic and inorganic materials from residential areas in water catchment areas and lake borders. The existence of other activities in the form of agriculture, animal husbandry, home industry and tourism will add to the waste of organic and inorganic materials that enter the lake waters, therefore it is necessary to investigate the potential for lake water pollution. This study aims to determine how big the potential for water pollution of Mahakam Kaskade Lake from garbage and household waste. The research was conducted using a survey method, namely conducting interviews and direct observations in the field. The data collected in the form of primary data and secondary data that are relevant to the research objectives. Based on the survey results, it can be seen that Jempang Lake has the potential to be polluted by household organic waste 1.4 – 2.7 tons/day, Melintang Lake has the potential to be contaminated with household organic waste 0.9 – 1.4 tons/day, while Semayang Lake has the potential to be polluted. household organic waste is around 1.7 – 2.7 tons/day, while Jempang Lake has the potential to be polluted by inorganic waste (plastic) about 1.2 tons/day, Melintang Lake has the potential to be polluted by inorganic waste (plastic) about 0, 7 Tons/Day and Semayang Lake has the potential to be polluted by inorganic waste (plastic) of around 1.2 Tons/Day. Therefore, the relevant agencies must immediately try to overcome this pollution problem so that the Mahakan Cascade Lake is not further damaged

Structure and Content of Sports Training Curriculum and its Association with Athletes’ Achievement in Sports Academies in Kenya
David Okoti, Dr. Robert O. Kati, Dr. Rose Mutende – July 2022- Page No.: 383-390
Sports academies are specialized training institutions for identifying and nurturing and honing sports talent. Governments and private agencies are increasingly investing in establishment of sports academies to promote sports training. However, there is a paucity of research examining the nature of sports training curricula in these sports academies and its implication for athletes’ achievement. This study, therefore, examined the structure and content of the sports training curriculum and its association with athletes’ achievement in sports academies in Kenya. It targeted 19 sports academies with 1261 participants, comprising 19 sports academy administrators, 102 sports academy coaches, and 1140 athletes. The study employed a cross-sectional mixed-methods design to generate both qualitative and quantitative data. Based on the study, this paper presents and discusses the findings on the structure and content of sports training curriculum and its relationship with athletes’ achievement in sports academies in Kenya. It was hypothesized that there is no significant relationship between the nature of sports curriculum content and athletes’ achievement in sports academies in Kenya. The study found that some sports academies lacked a curriculum document; each sports academy had its own way of training its athletes; training involved both theory and practical (drills), though most did not have a clear sequence; and there was a strong, positive correlation between the nature of sports training content and athletes’ achievement, which was statistically significant (γ = 0.815, p ˂ 0.05) at α = 0.05. The study recommended that the government through the Ministry of Sports should establish and enforce a framework for standardization and uniformity of curriculum in sports academies; sports academy administrators need to have a formal, written sports curriculum to guide the provision of structured sports skills training. Streamlining sports curriculum implementation policy and practice can augment athletes’ achievement in sports academies in Kenya as well as inform the operationalization of sports pedagogy as enshrined in Kenya’s Competency-Based Curriculum.

Teaching Biomass Energy in Secondary School Chemistry: A Stimulus for Achieving Sustainable Energy
N. M. Eya, Attah F. O. & Umate, B. A. – July 2022- Page No.: 391-395
The continuous increase of energy consumption has generally improved the standard of living but it has also caused serious environmental problems. There is therefore the need for sustainable energy sources. Sustainable energy involves increasing production of renewable energy, making safe energy universally available, and energy conservation. Sustainable energy is of great importance in Nigeria considering the broad and growing nature of energy use. Burning of fossil fuels to generate energy has resulted to many negative environmental problems on the climate, natural environment and the society at large. There is the need o change to other renewable and environmental free sources of energy. Biomass is a renewable energy source used to reduce our overdependence on fossil fuels and to help reduce air pollution. Secondary school chemistry students need to be taught about this biomass and biomass energy at the early stage of their educational pursuit even as they are the future scientists. When the students are best informed about these concepts at the early stage of their education and they develop interest in learning them, they will be in a better position to enhance their utilization as good sources of renewable energy in future as they are the hope of the nation as future scientists The paper therefore examined the concept of biomass and biomass energy, conversion of biomass to energy, advantages of biomass energy over fossil fuels and the implication of teaching biomass and biomass energy to secondary school chemistry students.

Gender Sensitivity of Nueva Ecija, Philippines Cradle Songs
Matilde Melicent Santos-Recto, Fernando P. Ferrer, Jr. and Marjorie N. Manlulu – July 2022- Page No.: 401-409
Gender is recently becoming a significant area of research in the field of popular music studies. As most studies focus on content analyses of popular music, there is still a need to research on the content of traditional songs, particularly, that which focuses on gender sensitivity. The idea that have appeared in most literatures that music phenomena are gendered, and that these phenomena are present in the musical “messages” with its gendered qualities imposed by the listener in the process of perception were the focal points of the study.
The conclusion of the research provided information about the contents of lullaby in consideration of gender sensitivity. Data collection was through personal interviews and focus group discussions with elderly citizens groups of selected Nueva Ecija municipalities. The respondents were considered based on their age and initial claims that they have sung lullabies to their children. The more important results indicated that, most of the lyrics of cradle songs of Nueva Ecija are stereotypical with messages implying that mothers are usually left at home to take care of the children and fathers go work to provide the needs of the family. The backstories of the songs are connected to farm activities, market undertakings and advices for the child to grow worthy of their parents. Some songs deal with the merits of being a good and obedient child. It appeared that the cradle songs of Nueva Ecija are not highly gender-biased because most of the lyrics pertained to a child that for the time being is yet insensitive to gender roles.

Assessment of Recruitment Methods and Employees’ Performance in local Governments, Karamoja Sub Region, Uganda
Abura Samuel Pirir, Ongodia Ekomolot, Kiweewa Emmanuel, Tukundane Benson – July 2022- Page No.: 410-427
Leadership is a pertinent organizational consideration which provides direction, strategies and motivation of employee towards the attainment of the desired organizational objectives. The purpose of the study was to assess the assessment of Recruitment Methods and Employees’ Performance in local Governments, Karamoja district Sub Region, Uganda. Data were collected using questionnaires and interviews. Data was analyzed at both uni-variate and bi-variate levels using frequency counts means, standard and PLCC which were supplemented by narrative analysis of qualitative data. The objective was to examine the recruitment methods and the leadership styles used in local governments in Karamoja Sub Region. Anchored on Fieldler’s leadership theory and Barney’s Resource Based View, the study hypothesized that H01: there is no significant relationship between recruitment methods and employee performance in local governments in Karamoja sub-region. The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional survey design. The regression results show (R2 = 0.2695) indicating that a unit change in recruitment attracts 27% change in performance. This means that the variance in work performance of employees in local governments can be predicted from recruitment. This study indicated that recruitment significantly predicts the level of performance of employees in local governments. The null hypothesis that there is no significant relationship between recruitment and employee performance in local governments in Karamoja sub-region of Uganda was thus rejected. The study recommended that the Ministry of local government, in collaboration with the Local public service commission should continuously update and widen the guidelines for recruitment and to enable attracting of a large pool from which the best can be selected; and for ministry to monitor the DSC to ensure effectiveness of recruitment where there are no external influences.

Making the Case to Rethink Constitutional Limit on Police Custody in Liberia
Dr. Ambrues Monboe Nebo Sr, and D. Blamo Kofa – July 2022- Page No.: 428-437
Consistent with the rudiments of a research paper, this article makes the case that could motivate the Ministry of Justice to rethink the statutory provision about police custody time limits. As its theoretical framework, the study was guided by the core concept of “Due Process” with the main emphasis on procedural due process and substantive due process. Using the qualitative method with emphasis on literature review and interviews, the paper argues that the cases of the writ of habeas corpus cataloged against the Liberia National Police constitute a violation of the accused fundamental rights and a complete embarrassment to the LNP as protector or observer of the due process of law. It also argues that the principle of “expediency” often cited as the justification for extending police custody beyond the constitutional time limit lacks justification in the statutes and is tantamount to the violation of substantive due process. It recommends that the Ministry of Justice see reasons to ignite the debate to initiate the amendment of Article 12(f) of the 1986 Liberian Constitution..

The Role of Counseling on Delinquency among selected Secondary Schools, Ngando, Nairobi County, Kenya
Charity Amiemitsemhe Otono, Stephen Asatsa, PhD, Stellah Osoro Kerongo, PhD – July 2022- Page No.: 438-444
The prevalence and growth of delinquency among selected secondary schools in Ngando, Nairobi County, is causing growing concern. The goal of this study was to look into the role of counseling on delinquency among students in selected secondary schools in Nairobi County, Ngando. The study was guided by Edward Deci and Richard Ryan’s Self-Determination Theory of Motivation and used an embedded mixed methods design. The study’s objectives were to assess the prevalence of delinquency and to investigate the types of counseling used among students in Ngando’s selected secondary schools. The target population consisted of 400 students and teachers, and the sample consisted of 200 respondents chosen using random and purposive sampling methods. However, only 189 participants were able to take part in the study which includes 185 students and 4 teachers. To collect data, the researcher used both questionnaires and interview guides. The collected data was analyzed in light of the research objectives. The researcher used frequency tables, standard deviations, and Pearson correlations to analyze quantitative data. Using the research objective themes, the qualitative data was presented in narrative form. According to the study, the most common types of delinquent behavior among students were violence, drug abuse, substance use, stealing, truancy, and unhealthy indecent relationships, while the most common types of counselling used were individual counselling, group counselling, and career counselling, with family counselling being rarely used. The study also found a link between different types of counseling and a reduction in delinquent behavior among students. The study recommended the use of trained psychotherapists in secondary schools to reduce and treat delinquent behaviors.

Determinants of Occupational Health and Safety Implementation in Road Construction Projects in Kenya: A Case of Construction of Upper Hill – Mbagathi Link Road
Peter M. Wamalwa & Nyaga G. Juster – July 2022- Page No.: 445-452
This study was purposed to find out the level of administration of Occupational Health and Safety which affects the construction worker in road construction projects. This was achieved by examining the determinants of occupational health and safety implementation in the construction sector of the Kenyan economy. The study will benefit all the stakeholders in the construction industry and make them appreciate more about employee welfare. It is meant to be good material for consumption by anybody else interested in the goings-on in the construction industry in Kenya. The survey was limited to an ongoing road construction project i.e. Construction of Upper Hill – Mbagathi Link Road. A questionnaire was adopted and used to gather data in the research and was delivered to respondents by hand. The respondents were selected by use of random and stratified sampling methods for accountability of the information gathered. The response rate was 83% with 72% of the respondents agreeing that raised levels of awareness of occupational health and safety impact on the implementation of OHS issues in road construction projects. Seventy five percent of the respondents agreed that project financial resources greatly impact the implementation of OHS issues in construction projects. The study recommended the need to increase factoring financial resource allocations for OHS in construction projects to enable road contractors to carry out awareness sensitization workshops, ensure regular supply of PPEs and insurance to construction workers.

Emotional Intelligence and Innovativeness Dynamic of Entrepreneurial Orientation in Nigeria
EGBERI, Edith, Onyeyime PhD and OMOGBIYA, O. Shulammite. – July 2022- Page No.: 453-457
The study investigated emotional intelligence as it pertains to innovativeness dynamic of entrepreneurial orientation in Nigeria. Two (2) components of emotional intelligence were employed, namely personal and social. Survey design and questionnaire was adopted; the questionnaire was administered to employees of some selected small and medium scale enterprises in Delta State. Data obtained in the field survey were analyzed via descriptive (mean, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis and Karl Pearson correlation), post estimation test (variance inflation factor) and inferential (multiple regression) statistical tools. Findings indicated a statistically significant and positive relationship between emotional intelligence (components of personal and social) and innovativeness dynamic of entrepreneurial orientation in Nigeria. This implies that emotional intelligence (personal and social) contributes to innovativeness of the entrepreneur. Given the findings of the study, it was recommended that management of small and medium scale enterprises should encourage employees to develop an innate tendency (personal intelligence) and team capabilities (social intelligence) towards entrepreneurship. In order to further foster innovativeness of entrepreneurs, there is the need for small and medium scale enterprises to ensure swift adaptability to change catalysts as well as building a bond among employees

Social Inclusion and Resilience as Predictors of Life Satisfaction Among University Undergraduates in Niger Delta Region of Nigeria
Chinyere Wille Ndata, Chima Promise Akunna – July 2022- Page No.: 458-464
The university is designed to prepare young people for the challenges of the workplace and enhance the achievement of their 4/c goals. The developmental trajectories and experiences associated with being in the university have important implications for psychosocial development in later stages of life. This study investigated the contributions of social inclusion and resilience in university students’ lift satisfaction in the Niger Delta region. Participants were 131 students of Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Port-Harcourt, Rivers state. Data collection was by means of a questionnaire. Statistical analysis was done using Hierarchical multiple regression. Age of participants was included in the regression model as a covariate. Results showed that even as the effect of age was controlled for, social inclusion positively predicted satisfaction with We, with a contribution of 11% in explaining the variance in life satisfaction. Higher satisfaction with 4/c was also predicted by resilience which explained 28% of the variance in life satisfaction. Resilience was a stronger predictor of life satisfaction, compared to social inclusion. The implication of the finding is that opportunities and resources should be provided for young people to participate fully in economic, social and cultural life of the society, but essentially, resilience building programmes should be implemented in order to ensure that youths enjoy a good standard of well-being and also have optimal quality of life in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria

Influence of Government Policy on Law for Sustainability of Dry Ports in Nigeria
Godson Okpara, and Hope Okpara, Esq – July 2022- Page No.: 465-478
The study examined the influence of government policy/law on sustainability of dry ports in Nigeria. The target population of the study consisted of all the key facilitators and supportive personnel of the eleven functional, non-functional and proposed dry ports in Nigeria. A sample of 222 facilitators and supportive personnel selected from 6 geopolitical zones participated in the study. The hypotheses were tested through the help of SPSS 22.0 and the use of inferential statistical tools of Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (r). The study found that understanding and managing hinterland roads and rails play a significant role in enhancing sustainability of dry ports. The study concludes that both government policy and legal framework are positively and significantly related to the optimization of dry ports. In addition, government policy and legal framework have positive and significant relationship with the growth of dry ports. Therefore, the study recommends that government should come up with effective legal framework and policies on dry port operations in Nigeria as there are no such instruments to navigate effective and sustainable operations of dry ports in Nigeria. There should be a sustained port access maintenance programme in Nigeria.

Dimensions of National Law Development in Indonesia
Achmad Irwan Hamzani, Mukhidin, Kanti Rahayu, Sanusi, Kus Rizkianto, Nur Khasanah, Havis Aravik – July 2022- Page No.: 479-483
Legal development is a necessity for the Indonesian people. Having its product law becomes the identity of a free nation. The original Indonesian law will later become a national law that is free from colonial legal products. This study aims to describe the terminology of legal development and reform and the urgency of developing a national criminal law in Indonesia. The results of this study indicate that legal development is synonymous with legal reform. Legal development is an inseparable part of national development. Integrating and synergizing with other fields such as politics, economy, society, environment, and security in legal development is necessary. Legal development must be sustainable and well planned. Legal development can also mean legal reform which includes updating existing or outdated legal provisions and creating new laws needed to meet the demands of developments that occur in society. The implementation of legal development is not only limited to statutory regulations but also leads to a legal system such as the development of legal materials, institutional development and law enforcement, development of legal services, and development of public legal awareness. These elements influence each other, and the law must be built simultaneously, synchronously, and integrated. The development of criminal law for the Indonesian nation is very urgent because as an independent nation it does not yet have its criminal law system. The current criminal law system is the Dutch colonial legacy legal system

Analysis of Traffic Flow Study in Akure Urban Centre
Enyinda, C. Albert. – July 2022- Page No.: 484-496
With increase in urban mobility and motorization of movement in Akure, traffic congestion has become a major issue in the development planning of the metropolis. The knowledge of the stream speed of traffic corridors of the metropolis as well as the rate of capacity utilization of the road network as well as the externality cost of the various traffic stream becomes a vital asset for road and urban transportation planning. These issues were what this study tackled. To this end, traffic surveys were done along selected traffic corridors to determine the stream speed by multiplying the vehicular concentration (vehicles per unit distance of roadway) with speed (distance per unit time), then the rate of capacity utilization was gotten using the determined capacity stream speed (traffic flow) as a ratio of the installed stream speed. The study showed that traffic speed varies from time to time and for different days too. These variations were noticed to be tangible for direction of traffic at any point time. For those, travelling towards the central business district during the mornings traffic streams are higher and at reduced speed. The study showed that certain roads require capacity expansion as capacities were over utilized. These expansions, if must be done, must be weighed carefully using social cost benefit analysis to ascertain true cost and benefits (socially and economically) to the society.

Knowledge Systems on Functioning and Resource Use Efficiency in Policy and Land Grabbing
Ngonzi Wilson – July 2022- Page No.: 497-501
Uganda lies in east central Africa, has a tropical climate, and fertile agricultural land. The country has a population of some 42 million, and is mainly land-locked, with Lake Victoria dominating the south east of the country. Agriculture accounts for just under a third of land use, and the country’s main exports are coffee, fish, tea, tobacco and cotton. Some 15% of the country is covered by forest (U.S Department of State, 2012). Some 85% of the population live in rural areas and four in ten of the rural population, predominantly in the north and north east of the country, are considered to be living in abject poverty. Approximately five per cent of rural households are affected by food insecurity (Rural poverty portal, 2012).
Agriculture plays an important part in Uganda’s economy, with 80% of all jobs in the agriculture and fishing sectors. While some cash crops are grown for export (particularly coffee, tea, cotton and tobacco), many rural communities have traditionally relied on subsistence agriculture, growing cassava, corn, potatoes and millet, as well as plants for medicinal uses (U.S Department of State, 2012).

An investigation of the acquisition, transfer and preservation of Indigenous Knowledge by traditional healers in Chibombo District of Zambia
Dalitso Mvula, Chrispin Hamooya – July 2022- Page No.: 502-509
This study aimed at investigating the acquisition, transfer and preservation of Indigenous Knowledge by traditional healers in Chibombo District. The objectives of the study were to explore how traditional healers acquired Indigenous Medical Knowledge, identify the methods used during IMK transfer, identify the methods which were used by traditional healers to preserve IMK and to investigate the challenges which were associated with acquisition, transfer and preservation of medical knowledge. Using qualitative research method and snowball sampling, primary data were collected from 29 traditional healers and 5 key informants through face-to-face interviews. Findings revealed that traditional healers acquired knowledge of healing through training and ancestral calling. The study also established that the majority of trained healers were females as they were much more willing to be trained than males. Findings on IK transfer revealed that majority of traditional healers transferred IK on healing through demonstration and observation. Findings on knowledge preservation showed that majority of traditional healers were training their family and other interested individuals. Results on challenges during acquisition, transfer and preservation of IK revealed that would-be healers experienced sickness, difficulties in mastering what was demonstrated and observed, segregation from their known communities and panicking when patients showed no signs of recovering after administering the herbs to them. The need for community leaders in Chibombo district to consider educating the local youths during ceremonial gatherings on the need to acquire and preserve indigenous practices was recommended. This was seen as a way through which unwillingness to learn and share would be reduced. Secondly, it was recommended that collaborative efforts between community leaders and traditional healers to document most of the indigenous medicine and the ailments they healed be strengthened. This was seen as a way through which difficulties in mastering and panicking among the would-be healers reduce.

Assessment of Entrepreneurship in Librarianship for Poverty Reduction and Unemployment Among Librarians in Colleges of Education in North Central, Nigeria
Samaila, B. M., Said, T. A. & Bakai, R. O. – July 2022- Page No.: 510-516
This study was designed to assess entrepreneurship in librarianship for poverty reduction and unemployment among librarians of College of Education in North central geopolitical zone of Nigeria. It is obvious that entrepreneurship reduces unemployment, promotes self-reliance, alleviates poverty and provides the opportunity for individuals to contribute to the economic development of a nation through innovative ideas. In order to achieve the objectives of this study, five research hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 levels of significance. A survey method was adapted for the study. Professional librarians, forty-eight (48) of them, selected in the Colleges of Education in the North-central geopolitical zone of Nigeria, represented the population of the study. A structured questionnaire titled entrepreneurship in librarianship for poverty reduction and unemployment (ELPRU) was administered to the respondents in the selected Colleges of Education. Out of the 48 copies of the questionnaire distributed to the respondents, a total of 45 (93.7%) copies were returned and duly completed and found usable for the study. The data collected for the study were presented and analyzed using inferential statistics. T-test was used to test the significant difference between variables in hypothesis 1 and 2, while Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was used to test the significant relationship among the variables in 3, 4 and 5 at 0.05 levels of significance. However, the finding of the study reveals that there is significant difference among librarians in the types of entrepreneurial skills they acquired. In this study, it is recommended that librarians, as well as other information professional, need to diversify their interests and passion for entrepreneurial opportunities within and outside library and information and also work for self-reliance without being depend on white collar jobs and/ or government. Also, government at all levels and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) should provide funds for librarians in any chosen entrepreneurial opportunity available or specialization after graduation from library and information science schools..

The Use of Social Media to Spread IED’s and its Potential Terrorism Threat in Indonesia
Amelia Widya Octa Kuncoro Putri, Pujo Widodo, Suhirwan. – July 2022- Page No.: 528-533
The ease of access to social media makes it easier for people to receive information about radicalism, bomb-making and violence. Radicalism is the embryo of terrorism. In Indonesia, most radical acts of terrorism are generally carried out by bombing including suicide bombings. Through social media, radical groups recruit and also study the manufacture of Improvised Explosive Device (IED) bombs. This study aims to examine the misuse of social media in radicalization using IED and formulate efforts to deny it. In this paper the method used is a qualitative method with literature study techniques. Qualitative methods are used to be able to describe the research topic in a more explorative. In this study it will explain about the internet as a base for the spread of terrorism, terrorism and the act of blasting or bombing and the process of making IEDs on the internet channel. The results of this study show that social media is abused by radical groups in carrying out their mission. The purpose of radical groups in the action of radicalism on social media includes propaganda purposes to increase the existence of the group and understand radicalism, recruit members and run training and teach ways of violence including the manufacture of IEDs. In an effort to counteract the impact of the threat of radicalism through social media, several efforts can be made, among others, deradicalization, cyber patrol to block access to social media content that contains elements of radicalism, provide literacy to the public about safe social media and be wiser in receiving radicalism information.

Effects of Functional-Notional Approach on Male and Female Students’ Achievement in English Grammar in Enugu Education Zone
Casmir N. Chime (M. Ed), Dr. Mary N. Onyia – July 2022- Page No.: 534-538
This study investigated the effects of Functional-Notional Approach (FNA) on male and female students’ achievement in English grammar in Enugu Education Zone. The researchers adopted a quasi-experimental research design. This study was carried out in secondary schools in Enugu Education Zone. The population of the study was four thousand and ninety (4,090) senior secondary school II (SS II) students in the 31 public secondary schools in Enugu Education Zone of Enugu State 2019/2020 academic session. The sample for the study comprised one hundred and thirty three (133) SS11 students in four intact classes which were drawn from four co-educational secondary schools. Purposive sampling technique was used to sample the size of the study. The instrument used was English Grammar Achievement Test (EGAT), it is a 50-item dichotomously scored instrument and it was validated. To determine the reliability of the instrument, a trial test was conducted with 30 SS11 students outside the area of the study, using Kuder-Richardson’s Formula (K – R 20), for EGAT a reliability coefficient of 0.78 was got showing that the instrument was reliable. The research questions were answered using mean scores and standard deviation, while the hypothesis was tested using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) at 0.05 level of significance. The results indicated that FNA had significant effect on male and female students’ achievement in English grammar. Based on the findings, it was concluded that the study provided empirical evidence of the efficacy of FNA in enhancing students’ achievement in English grammar. By implication, if teachers of English language adopt FNA and practice it in their various schools, students’ achievement in English grammar may improve. It was, therefore, recommended among others that English language teachers should adopt Functional-Notional Approach (FNA) as an alternative to the Conventional Teaching Method (CTM) in teaching English grammar.

Desecration of Mwela Rock Art Site in Kasama District of Zambia
Kenny Changwe, Tomaida C Milingo and Inonge Milupi – July 2022- Page No.: 539-548
This paper examines desecration at Mwela rock art site in Kasama District of Zambia. The study was aggravated by extraordinary levels of desecration at Mwela rock art site. To have an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon under study, the researchers employed a qualitative approach particularly, case study and narrative designs. Data were collected through observations, semi structured interviews and focus group discussion from a sample of sixteen (16) respondents out of which five (5) were subjects of the Bemba Royal Establishment (BRE) that included four (4) Village Headmen and 1 Village Headwoman, 3 focus group discussions representing three responses from National Heritage Conservation Commission (NHCC) members, four (4) elderly men and four (4) elderly women respectively. Purposive sampling distinctively typical case study was used to purposively select 4 BRE subjects, 3 FGDs with NHCC members and the 5 elders. The respondents were purposively selected because they were deemed reliable for the study as they possessed relevant knowledge and understanding of the phenomenon under study. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. The study revealed that Mwela rock art site has experienced desecration due to a number of factors that include the construction of the railway line, coming of NHCC at the site, demographic changes, coming of Christianity and social economic hardships. In order to minimize desecration of cultural sites, the research recommends for the incorporation of the traditional authorities and their indigenous belief system into formal cultural heritage management as propounded in cosmopolitanism type of analytical framework in heritage preservation. This study contributes towards the enhancement of cultural heritage preservation.

Level of competencies of students in the primary methods of social work practice
Jocelyn T. Gaas – July 2022- Page No.: 549-561
This study aimed to determine the level of competencies of students in the primary methods of social work as taught in the classroom and in actual practice. This research is a descriptive-evaluative study using a quantitative approach, employing survey questionnaires, to gather data and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The respondents of this study were the 9 agency supervisors and 11 faculty supervisors supervising the 285 social work students placed in social welfare agencies for SY 2017-2018. Findings revealed that students’ level of competency in the social work helping process using the primary methods of casework, group work, and community organization is in the apprentice level. These findings purport that social work students demonstrate adequate competence, knowledge, skills, good attitudes, and working habits and can work with less supervision while placed in social welfare agencies.

The Role of the International Criminal Court in Liberia’s Peace and Stability
Prof. Thomas Kaydor, Jr. – July 2022- Page No.: 562-575
This essay addresses the role of the International Criminal Court in Liberia’s peace and stability. This essay argues that corruption is the main cause of the Liberian Civil War and remains the present and future security risk to Liberia. It further argues that the intervention of the ICC was timely and helped to remove former President Charles Taylor from power on 11 August 2003 thereby ending the fourteen years civil conflict in the country; however, that Mr. Taylor got prosecuted and convicted for war crimes committed only in Sierra Leone rather than those in Liberia leaves the peace and stability of Liberia fragile. The essay reviews the history of corruption in Liberia, causes and effects of weak anti-corruption system, it discusses the challenges militating against the speedy and successful prosecution of corruption cases in Liberia. This research is important because the researcher argues that corruption was the cause of the Liberian Civil Crises. Hence, the Liberian Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) was established to curb the endemic corruption in both the Liberian public and private sectors. However, this anti-graft agency has not done much to curb the menace. In view of this, the international community, including the Economic Community for West African States (ECOWAS), United Nations and the ICC intervened in the Liberia Civil Crisis to help the country transition towards peace and stability. Nevertheless, corruption in Liberia persists and hampers sustainable socio-political progress and retards economic growth and development. Therefore, it constitutes the outstanding main current and future security risk to Liberia. Therefore, corruption is Liberia’s binding constraint to national development, which if not addressed could remain a wicked problem for the state and its future generations. This could hold back the country from attaining sustainable economic growth and development.

Far-stretching Strategy of Myanmar Junta to Forcefully Displace the Rohingya: Bangladesh, Regional and International Responses
Md. Abdul Qader, Mohammad. Mustafizul Rahman Rasel PSC, Major, Mir Rumi Mustafizur Rahman – July 2022- Page No.: 576-581
The world continues to see large refugee flows, and the challenges comprising these population migrations are anticipated to become increasingly complicated as a result of rising social, economic, ethnic and especially religious conflicts. In the south-east Asia, this problem has become acute with Rohingya refugees. Northern Rakhine State in Myanmar is predominantly Buddhist and authoritarian despite a majority Arakan Muslim population and a minority Rakhine Buddhist population. Exclusionary citizenship laws and military actions against Arakanese Muslims, often known as Rohingyas, have forced them to depart Myanmar and seek refuge in Bangladesh. This circumstance pictured the inhuman role of the material world to the persecuted Rohingya refugees. The manuscript aimed at delineating Myanmar’s long-term oppressive and illegal strategy of dislocating Rohingya, and the attitude of the host-state Bangladesh, the regional and global superpowers, and instruments in this respect. The short article is designed in accordance with the qualitative method where information has been collected from different sources predominantly from scholarly articles. The manuscript has also suggested that the buzzword ”Rohingya issue” can be solved only if the Sino-Indian mutual understanding takes liberal steps with neutral support towards Bangladesh and Myanmar including asylum-seeker Rohingya refugees

The Psychological Status of Government School Teachers in Gampaha District During Covid- 19
Weerasinghe, S.P.S.P., Dr. Herath, D.C.K., Gunarathne, K.A.T.N.T., Chandrasiri, D.B.P.S., Premasara, J.M., Jayaweera, K.K.T, Chandrarathna, L.R., Priyankara, M.G.A. – July 2022- Page No.: 588-596
This research is an attempt to study the psychological status of government school teachers in the Gampaha district during the COVID- 19 pandemic. It mainly focuses on school teachers in the Gampaha district who had to transform their teaching style due to online teaching necessities. There is much research on COVID-19 and depression related to the general public, school students, and undergraduates. Yet, there is a visible vacuum in empirical data regarding the depression level of school teachers, which is intended to be bridged through this study. It followed the quantitative approach and gathered data from the government teachers by conducting an online questionnaire survey. The results indicated that among the selected sample, the majority of them appeared to be mildly and moderately depressed, while 27.2% were severely depressed. As the psychological condition is a mandatory requirement for every individual to have a healthy lifestyle, the researchers intend to highlight the importance of governmental aid and support in this regard

Depression is one of the most prevalent common mental disorders globally. This condition is also known to be a risk factor for other conditions such as suicidality, drug use disorders and delinquency among others. Understanding the prevalence of depression is important in designing intervention strategies. The sample size included 16 public secondary schools with 396 participants. Simple random and stratified sampling techniques were used. Data were collected using standardized questionnaire for depression, the PHQ 9. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that across all the different types of schools, most of the students had a low levels of depression. The highest number of students with low or moderate levels of depression were in mixed boarding schools followed by mixed day secondary schools. The study recommends provision of resources to help strengthen the school guidance and counseling departments.

Distribution of Proboscis Monkeys (Nasalis Larvatus Wurmb, 1787) in Forest Fragmentation Area, Tunan River, Waru District, East Kalimantan, Indonesia
Lariman, Abinda Muchlas Barru, Dijan Sunar Rukmi – July 2022- Page No.: 602-604
The proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus Wurmb, 1787) is an endemic primate of the island of Borneo that is protected and threatened with extinction. Deforestation is the biggest threat to proboscis monkeys because it destroys the ideal habitat for proboscis monkeys. The proboscis monkey’s habitat includes various types of forest such as wetland forest, peat forest, heath forest, rubber forest, and mangrove forest associated with water. The Tunan River is one of the proboscis monkey’s habitats outside the conservation area in the form of a forest that is fragmented apart by roads, residential areas, plantations, and ponds. Meanwhile, the spread of proboscis monkeys in the Tunan river forest fragmentation area, Waru District, North Penajam Paser Regency, East Kalimantan has never been reported so that a study is needed to determine its distribution. This research was started from January to February 2022. The data was collected using the boat survey method, namely observation by using a boat. The results obtained were twenty-four proboscis monkey distribution points based on direct observation. The distribution pattern of proboscis monkeys tends to be random in the fragmentation area and is found more in the upstream than downstream areas due to habitat conditions and the presence of forage trees that support the proboscis monkey population. Therefore, to preserve the proboscis monkey, it is necessary to provide information to the surrounding community by protecting the proboscis monkey habitat

Child-Hustling in Ibadan Metropolis: A Cultural Worldview
Gbemisola Hannah, ADEOBA – July 2022- Page No.: 605-611
Over the years, the unfavorable situation of children hustling hard under demeaning situations has triggered very serious deliberations among scholars, policy-makers, and human rights’ activists globally. The high rate of occurrence of child-hustlers over the years is a crucial factor in explaining child-neglect in form of child-labour and child-abuse. Studies on children protection had focused on child-labour or street-children as a whole. However, little attention has been given to hustling among children. Hence, this study examines a cultural worldview of child-hustlers in Ibadan Metropolis, Oyo state.
Cross-sessional research-design is adopted and a multi-stage sampling technique was used to elicit primary data from six major commercial centres in Ibadan Metropolis, Oyo State. A semi-structured Questionnaire Schedule (QS) was administered to 300 respondents. Data were collected on socio-demographic profile and cultural world-view of child-hustling. The data generated were analyzed with the use of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 20.
On the cultural world-view of child-hustling, majority of the respondents viewed hustling as a means of livelihood. Child hustling has negatively affected the development of children and had compromised the achievement of societal development globally. There is need for effective reorientation, sensitization, and strict enforcement of policies that could help in the protection of child’s rights, most especially in the urban centres by both the Government and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs).

Effect of Ethno-Religious Conflicts on The Upsurge of Violent Crimes in Taraba State, Nigeria
GARBA, Mbave Joshua PhD, AHIMA, Egashi Solomon, EMMANUEL, Victor – July 2022- Page No.: 612-623
The study was designed to investigate Ethno-Religious Conflicts and Upsurge of Violent Crimes in Taraba State, Nigeria. The study made use of a cross-sectional research design. Data were collected from a randomly selected sub-set of Taraba state adult population (1,283,817). From the three senatorial districts of the state (Northern, Central, and Southern), two (2) Local Government Areas were purposively selected, being the areas with a history of intense ethno-religious conflicts were included in the study. The sample size was 1110, drawn using a mixed multi-stage sampling technique. Descriptive statistics like frequencies/percentages tables and charts were employed in interpreting the data, while chi-square and Pearson’s correlation analysis were used in analyzing the research hypotheses. A hierarchical multiple regression model was employed to predict socio-demographic factors associated with perceived nexus between ethno-religious conflicts and violent crimes. The study found out among others, a high perceived role of arms proliferation during ethno-religious conflicts in the growing incidence of violent crime (90.1%). The Paper among other recommendations recommended for proactive security measures to be employed to ensure that ethnic militias are not allowed to bear firearms and light weapons. They should embark on disarmament and mopping up of weapons.

A Legal Comparison of Regional Powers’ Involvements in African Conflicts: Case Studies of Libya and South Africa
Habiba Yaouba – July 2022- Page No.: 624-627
The Republic of Chad, located in central Africa, is under attack by a series of military coups; despite its prosperity, the country has emerged from protracted conflicts since its independence. The violence was perpetrated and directed by rebel groups of various ethnicities. As the regional leader, Libya decided in 1991 to intervene in internal Chadian affairs by mediating between the regime and rebel groups on political and economic matters, despite being under international sanctions. The first “Coup d’État” since Ivory Coast’s independence occurred in December 1999, and more recent coups have also been successful; the violence in Ivory Coast appears to be a conflict that has targeted both the military and civilians. The last military coup in 2002 failed and turned into a small war within the country, attracting South Africa’s involvement in the bloodied country by violence, fear, and escalating instability, which worsened the human rights situation. The Ivory Coast’s struggle was more intensely influenced by economic factors, while the conflict in Chad was the political cause. Legally, the international community arrangement in Ivory Coast obligated South Africa, as a regional leader, to secure peace and stability. In contrast, Libya illegally meddles in the internal affairs of Chad with its influential “brother leader,” who has a new position as a regional peacemaker and is dominant in the Sub-Saharan region.

Service quality in retail establishments is important for customer satisfaction, retention and also to enhance customer loyalty towards the organization and its products or services. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of service quality factors on customer satisfaction with reference to a University based mini supermarket. Service quality was measured using the SERVQUAL model. Five dimensions of Service Quality namely Tangibles, Reliability, Responsiveness, Empathy and Assurance are considered for this research. The study employs quantitative research methodology. Primary data for the study is gathered through a structured questionnaire distributed among undergraduates. The sample has been selected based on convenient sampling method. Accordingly, the final sample size consisted of 153 respondents after removing the missing data and outliers. Regression analysis was carried out in order to study the impact of service quality dimensions on customer satisfaction. Results revealed that there is a significant positive impact of tangibility, reliability and empathy on customer satisfaction. Responsiveness and assurance have an insignificant impact on customer satisfaction. The findings of the study will be beneficial for practitioners in ensuring the service quality aspect of mini-supermarkets in order to ensure customer satisfaction

Corruption in the Nigerian Public Sector
Adeniyi, D.S. – July 2022- Page No.: 632-636
The ills of corruption in governance and public management creates an oddity of interests between leaderships and citizens. The myriads of challenges confronting many developing economies in the world today stems from corruption and the lack of transparency in governance. The elegance ascribed to political and economic corruptions in most African states stems not only from the depraved self-seeking nature of the individuals, but also from a societal expectation of grandeur and affluence after a successful political or bureaucratic career. The Nigerian state is evidently ethno-centric and blessed with abundant natural mineral resources. However, there are several factors fostering corruption in Nigeria, and this includes the rampant lack of accountability in governance, poor political leadership, and an ill-informed system of governance. For the Nigerian state to be free from corruption therefore, a lot needs to be done towards encouraging transparency in governance, responsible and an accountable political leadership, citizen participation in governance and an established system of informed policy formulation, exemplary leadership hinged on the tenets of morality, and the re-engineering of the social construct towards the re-building of trust between leaderships and the citizens. This review takes a critical look at corruption in the Nigerian public sector, and also offers some vital suggestions on how to overcome this protracted challenge

Ethical Considerations in the Nigerian Public Service and Governance
Adeniyi, D.S. – July 2022- Page No.: 637-641
The utility of ethics in governance and public service provides the framework for a common understanding between leaderships and citizens. While ethics dwells within the realm of morality, beneficence and good will, the empirical applications of its tenets tends to fostering accountability, integrity, and transparency in leaderships. The ethical conundrums encountered in developing nations like Nigeria are not only confounded by the individual-centric nature of morality and ethical practices, but also on the ethno-centric divisions existing within the polity. Many ill vices such as corruption and total disregard to the rule of law have been engendered within the Nigerian state due to the ethno-centric nature of the country, the chaos of leadership, and the sidelining of standard ethical practices. The failure of the Nigerian state at uniting her people has not been without a cost, however, in order to making progress and advancing among the committee of nations, citizens of Nigeria need to jettison their ethno-centric sentiments and imbibe a more nationalistic attitude. The educational system should be more transformative and reformative in its curriculum and approaches, the creation of anti-graft agencies should be more inclusive and consensus driven; and the regulatory and compliance mechanisms at following strictly the tasks and duties of the anti-graft agencies should be fully developed and imbibed. In addition, the punishment for corrupt practices should be more stringent and less accommodating. This review takes a critical look at the prime role ethics plays in the governance of a nation, and the chaos that sets in when leaderships jettison ethics and morality in their affairs. With regards to the Nigerian state, important recommendations are also given to help foster a more ethically and morally guided leadership and practices, in a bid to fostering a better society

Assessing Early Childhood Education for Sustainable Development Towards Poverty Reduction in Lagos State
Dr Dagunduro Olayinka – July 2022- Page No.: 642-646
The study sought to assess the place of Early Childhood Education for sustainable development towards poverty reduction in Lagos State. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design where questionnaire was used to acquire necessary data for the research work. Population comprises of all teachers in Ibeju Lekki local government in Lagos State. Simple random sampling technique was used to select ten (ten) primary schools in which ten (10) teachers each were randomly chosen from the selected primary schools to make a total of one hundred ( 100) respondents for the study. Two (2) research hypotheses were formulated and tested in this study. Reliability of the instrument was determined using Cronbach Alpha and data collected was analyzed using Chi-Square statistical tool. Findings revealed that the hypotheses constructed for the purpose of the study was rejected which means that there was significant impact on the challenges facing the effectiveness of Early Childhood Education in Nigeria and there was significant influence on the availability of teachers’ experience/qualification in handling the Early Childhood Care and Education and it was recommended that the level of government commitment to ECCE has to increase more than before, if the stated goals of this level of education are to be achieved. In order to achieve this, a regulatory body should be established under Universal Basic Education Board (UBE) to oversee the affairs of ECCE in Nigeria. The body should be at the federal, all states and all local government areas in the country, with more power given to the local government body since ECCE is meant to be community based education.

Frimever T. Engo, Realuz B. Castro, Ariel E. San Jose – July 2022- Page No.: 647-654
This qualitative-phenomenological study investigated the experiences of children born outside of marriage. The Snowball sampling technique was utilized in selecting the 10 participants. A structured interview script was developed to gather the information. Results revealed that the challenges encountered by children born outside of marriage include discrimination, social stigma, difficulty, and abandonment. Moreover, their coping strategies included forgiveness, a positive mindset, and determination. Furthermore, for their voices to be heard, they proposed that the government may provide them with counselling, implement the No Discrimination Law, and provide free education. Finally, the significant experience that they could share included forgiveness, resentment, a sense of responsibility, and resilience

Vulnerability and Resilience for Second Hand Clothes Informal Traders in The Wake of Covid-19 Lockdown Restrictions in Mkoba South, Gweru (2019-2021)
Kashiri Innocent Taurai and Mushaka Charles – July 2022- Page No.: 655-662
The premise of this study was anchored on vulnerability and resilience mechanisms faced by second hand clothes informal traders in the wake of covid-19 lockdown restrictions in Mkoba South, Gweru from 2019 to 2021. Its main objectives were: to explore the vulnerability of second hand clothes informal traders’ in adapting to the Covid 19 lockdown restrictions and to explore the resilience mechanisms utilized. An interpretive research paradigm triangulated by a phenomenological research design was adopted. Interviews and non-participant observations were used as the main data gathering instruments. The overall findings from the study revealed that the second hand clothes informal traders were vulnerable. The vulnerabilities included fear and stress; lack of government support; reduced profits and harassment by municipal and national police. Due to the above vulnerabilities, the second hand clothes informal traders developed resilience mechanisms which include selling from home; moving door to door; selling to familiar customers, friends and relatives on credit; use of Whatsapp to advertise; bribing municipal and national police; use of cross-border transporters/malaitsha for supplies and many more. The resilience mechanisms were all largely effective in in ensuring business survival and sustainable livelihoods. The study recommended that a wider multi-stakeholder consultation in the promulgation of policies to control health pandemics like the Covid 19 in the future be instituted. There is also need for capacity building to the informal traders on general business management and contemporary trends in business marketing using technology as well as helping the second hand clothes informal traders to move from the ‘informal’ tag to formality through registering of their businesses.

Female Entrepreneurship: A Driver of Socio-Economic Activities
Dr. Aderinsola E. Kayode; Suleman Yakubu and Prof. Fulufhelo G. Netswera – July 2022- Page No.: 663-666
This study was carried out on ‘Female Entrepreneurship: A Driver of Socio-Economic Activities’. It is the desire of every nation to be economically vibrant, not just to meet the needs of its citizens but to also be exporter of knowledge (services), technologies and other products. However, achieving these desires has been a challenge to many nations, especially the African context. In no doubt, there are many different ways a nation can achieve the aforementioned. One of such notable ways is through entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial activities on the other hand, despite its importance and role in the improvement of economic conditions of nations, many nations have failed to provide that needed atmosphere to drive it. Furthermore, an aspect of entrepreneurial activity that has suffered so many setbacks in past decades is female-entrepreneurship. Following the crude notion held by people, especially in developing countries about females owning and carrying out businesses just like their male counterpart, from time immemorial until some past decades, really affected the number of women in business, which in turn, also affected their impact on the economy. Furthermore, lack of favourable environment in the form of laws, technical know-how among others, also constituted obstacle. The economic value of female entrepreneurship has been revealed by the current study and recommendation for some key factors that will provide the pace for female entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurship Education and Economic Emancipation of Youths in Oyo State, Nigeria, West Africa
Dr. Aderinsola E. Kayode; Suleman Yakubu and Prof. Fulufhelo G. Netswera – July 2022- Page No.: 667-671
The primary aim of every citizen in any nation of the world is to be economically emancipated, as it enables one to be self-reliant rather than depending on parents, guardians or government for survival. However, the majority of Nigerian youths are living in abject poverty compared to their counterparts in developed countries. In an attempt to find a solution to the problem of acute poverty, this study investigated the relationship between entrepreneurship, education and the economic emancipation of youths in the Ibadan Metropolis, Oyo State, Nigeria. A sample of 350 respondents was selected through the purposive sampling technique. Three hypotheses were tested. A self-designed online survey questionnaire titled “Entrepreneurship Education and Economic Emancipation Questionnaire (EEEEQ)” was administered and used for data collection. Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and multiple regression analysis were the statistical tools employed for data analysis. The findings revealed a significant relationship between entrepreneurship knowledge and economic emancipation among youths in Ibadan Metropolis, Oyo State, Nigeria (r=0.78, p<0.05). It was also shown that entrepreneurial skills and economic emancipation among youths in Ibadan Metropolis, Oyo State, Nigeria were significantly related (r=0.63, p<0.05). Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that more emphasis should be given to entrepreneurial skill acquisition and to the adequate provision of learning tools and materials. Government should also make available grants for youth with potential to demonstrate and maximize their acquired entrepreneurial knowledge and skills.

Dyege Clement Akpenpuun, Kajo Didacus T. (PhD), & Tyokyaa Cletus I. (PhD) – July 2022- Page No.: 686-691
The study investigated the influence of inter-religious and farmers- herders’ crises on the management of public universities in the North Central Nigeria. Two specific objectives with corresponding research questions guided the study and two hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted a survey research design. The population of the study was 9,708 academic and senior administrative staff in seven Federal Universities in North Central Nigeria. The sample size for the study was 384 academic and senior administrative staff who were drawn using purposive, proportionate stratified and convenience sampling techniques. The instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire. Experts validated the questionnaire and its reliability was established using Cronbach Coefficient Alpha Method which yielded a coefficient of 0.87. Data collected for the study was analyzed using Means and Standard Deviation to answer the research questions and Chi-Square Goodness of fit to test the hypotheses at 0.05level of significance. Findings of the study revealed that inter-religious crises have no significant influence on the management of public universities in North Central Nigeria. The finding however, revealed that farmers-herders’ crises have significant negative influence on public universities’ management. The study concluded that farmers-herders’ crises in North Central Nigeria pose a threat to public universities’ management. Based on the findings, it was recommended that the Federal Government of Nigeria should as a matter of urgency, use all security apparatus to ensure that the crises between farmers and Fulani herders come to an end. This can make the management of public universities better strive. The university management should ensure that clear guidelines on religious activities are put in place to avoid spreading religious intolerance and violence which could result in violence on campuse

Influence of Economic Recession on Principal Financial Management in Public Secondary Schools in Southern Senatorial District of Taraba State, Nigeria
Joseph Owuondo – July 2022- Page No.: 692-697
This study investigated influence of economic recession on the principal financial management in public secondary schools in Southern Senatorial District of Taraba State, Nigeria. Two specific objectives with corresponding research questions guided the study and two hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted a survey research design, and was carried out in Southern Senatorial District of Taraba State, Nigeria. The population for this study was 1642 teachers from 132 public secondary schools in Southern Senatorial District of Taraba State. A total of 240 teachers representing 15% of the entire population were selected from 20 secondary schools also representing 15% of the entire secondary schools used for the study. The instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire title “Influence of Economic Recession on the Principal Financial Management of Secondary Schools Questionnaire (IERPFMSSQ)” developed by the researchers. The reliability of the instrument was estimated using Cronbach Alpha statistic and an overall reliability coefficient of 0.80 was obtained. The data was analyzed using Means and Standard Deviation to answer the research questions. Chi-Square Statistic to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings of the study revealed that; most schools do not have a source of water for their students due to lack of funds and that games and other social activities in school come up only once in a while due to lack of fund and finally, students hardly make use of the school library due to the fact that most library books are old and not useful to them. Also, most of the buildings in school are very old as they have not been renovated for a long time, due to dilapidated structures, students hardly sit inside the classroom, making the students ungovernable and that classrooms in most public secondary schools have very poor ventilation, making it difficult for teachers and students to concentrate when teaching and learning. Based on these findings, it was recommended that; Taraba State Government should endeavour to regularly provide public secondary schools with up-to-date 21st century facilities as this could aid administrative effectiveness of teachers and increase students’ academic performance.

A Review of Disaster Preparedness and Management Techniques in Kenya
Joseph Owuondo – July 2022- Page No.: 698-701
The study sought to examine disaster preparation, management, and mitigation techniques in Kenya. The study methodology involved literature review of previous studies and the information available to the public on the official government and government departmental websites. The study also reviews the government policies and plans, and legislations that have been put in place by the government and whether or not these policies are suitable for application in real-life situations. Results from the study show that there have been some tremendous efforts taken by different levels of government as well as stakeholders within the country to improve disaster preparedness, management, and mitigation but these could not be fully implemented considering the increase in vulnerability index due to climate change. There are various government policies and departments established under the office of the president under various ministries when as those established through Acts of Parliament, whose goal has been to improve coordination and resource mobilization and deployment towards disaster preparedness, management, and mitigation

The paper is based on the findings that were done in ten tourism and hospitality training institutions that were offering tourism and hospitality training at the time of data collection in Lusaka district. Data was collected through questionnaires, interviews and document study from ten heads of department, fifteen lecturers and ten principals in the different institutions. The major findings of the study were that topics on green concepts and practices either did not exist or were not the area of focus in the curricula. Therefore, the study proposed that specific courses which should be included in the curricula, including conservation of natural resources, keep Zambia clean, green and healthy, waste management and technology, water conservation, energy efficiency, and waste reduction. These courses should be offered from diploma to doctoral levels so that students are able to practice sustainability in the provision of services upon graduation. The study recommended the need for an intentional integration of environment and sustainability education in the curricula of tourism and hospitality training institutions, with a specific focus on green aspects in the tourism and hospitality industry.

A Critical Analysis of Problems Encountered by Informal Female Cross Border Traders in Zimbabwe
Moyo Annah – July 2022- Page No.: 716-722
Due to the failure of the Zimbabwean economy in the past two decades and the subsequent collapse of the formal sector in the country cross border trading has become increasingly popular in the country and likewise the involvement of women in the sector. Remunerations which is earned through informal female cross border trading is not only benefiting their respective households but contribute to the GDP of the country through payment of customs exercise duty, tax on importation of goods, and other government charges and hence women are major contributors to the economy of Zimbabwe. Nonetheless, despite the contributions by women, the challenges and benefits involved with informal cross border traders are based on gender. Unfortunately, there is lack of information on the challenges and stressors faced by females in cross border trading in Zimbabwe. It is against this background that the present study seeks a critical analysis of problems encountered by informal female cross border traders in Zimbabwe and also determining the coping strategies. A qualitative method was adopted in primary data collection and it was achieved through the use of interviews. The snowball sampling method was used to select the females that participated as respondents. The study noted that female cross border traders in Zimbabwe facing serious and deep rooted challenges in the process of conducting their trade from government officials, restriction to access of loans, and health issues emanating from stress and leads to other serious mental health issues like depression, anxiety, tendency of self-harm, and suicide. The study also noted that begging, creating personal savings, and visiting health institutions and employing self-medication were the most common coping strategies applied by the female cross border traders.

Teaching for Technological Literacy: Recognizing Technology as Communication of Social Phenomena and Ultimately of Culture: Illustrating Television as a Socially Determined Artifact
Casimir Adjoe – July 2022- Page No.: 723-731
This paper examines the possibility of overcoming technological determinism in the curriculum of institutions of technology and Vocational institutions in Africa in order to cultivate the kind of individuals with the relevant critical thinking skills needed for a contemporary technologically complex society. Using a social-historical approach in analysis and selecting television as a case study, it argued that an adequate discussion of technological literacy issues could be achieved by the shift of emphasis from technological artifacts in isolation to examining the social and cultural origins of technological artifacts, and hence to the social processes involved in deciding, selecting, designing, controlling, adopting and producing specific technological artifacts. It ultimately recommends the creative possibilities that the approach suggests for teaching and learning and for the development of cultural attitudes conducive to the advantageous utilization of technologies for the society consuming them

Fiscal Policy and Unemployment Rate in Nigeria: An Empirical Investigation
Chukwuemeka Nwamuo, Ph.D – July 2022- Page No.: 732-738
The study investigated the impact of fiscal policy on unemployment rate in Nigeria. Time series data spanning from 1991 to 2020 which were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin and the World Development Indicators (WDI). The ARDL bounds testing approach to co-integration was used to analyse the data. Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model and Error Correction Model (ECM) were utilized to address the main objectives of the study. The estimated short run coefficient result revealed that total public debt, total public expenditure and non-oil revenue all have a positive and significant impact on unemployment rate The speed of adjustment for correcting disequilibrium from the previous year to equilibrium in current year is 14.92 percent as shown by the coefficient of ECM. The long run result of the study showed that there is a positive and significant impact between total expenditure (TEXP) and unemployment rate in Nigeria but a negative and significant impact between non-oil revenue (NOR) and unemployment rate in Nigeria. The long run result showed that there is no relationship between total public debt (TDBT) and unemployment rate in Nigeria while the short run result showed that total public expenditure has a positive and significant impact on unemployment rate while non-oil revenue has a negative and significant impact on unemployment rate in Nigeria. Based on these findings, the study recommends proper management of government expenditure by ensuring that capital expenditures are channeled towards productive sectors and ensure that there is transparency in the management of such fund.

Harmonic or Non-Harmonic? A Formal and Scientific Analysis of Three Musical Tones in Petzold’s “Minuet In G”
Michael Ochurub PhD, Andrew Jeremiah PhD, Mulisa Ignatius Kwizi – July 2022- Page No.: 752-763
Through the years leading up to Schonberg composers ignored the concept of non-harmonic tones and treated them as extended harmonies. This study scientifically analyses instances regarded as non-harmonic in music theory to resolve the contention surrounding such tones in order to inform music tonal harmony. Minuet in “G” by Christian Petzold was purposively selected and subjected to Overtone Analyzer to examine instances where tones that are regarded as non-harmonic in music theory could be seen as extended harmonic tones. The analysis showed that these tones, although regarded as non-harmonic tones in music theory, have harmonic traces in the overtones of the members of the pivot chord. The study, therefore, concludes that the assumed non-harmonic tones in Minuet in G, are naturally part of the chord they are presented with and are, therefore, extended harmonies as some earlier composers pointed out. The researchers, therefore, recommend a reconsideration of approaches to non-harmonic tones in music theory to foster unlimited perception in tonal harmony..

Impact of Retrenchment on Employee Productivity at WordPress Namibia Limited
Michael Ochurub PhD, Andrew Jeremiah PhD, Mulisa Ignatius Kwizi – July 2022- Page No.: 764-778
The WordPress Namibia Limited retrenched employees in 2020 to save costs and increased the productivity within the organisation. Therefore, this study was aimed at investigating the impact of retrenchment at WordPress Namibia Limited on employee wellbeing and productivity within the organisation. Retrenchment has become one of the most useful survival strategies implemented by organisations during turbulent business environment. The data was collected through the use of qualitative and quantitate methods with a sample size of forty-four employees. The data collected was analysed and presented using descriptive and deducible statistics to gain applicable answers to the study’s exploration questions. SPSS was also used for analysing the research questions, descriptive statistics in the form of simple probabilities, frequency distributions, weighted pars, and standard divagation was used. The main findings indicate that the retrenchment process has negatively affected employee wellbeing and productivity within the organisation. A vast majority of the respondents agreed that the retrenchment process resulted in reduced worker morale, demotivation, increased job insecurity, increased workload and extended working hours for the remaining employees. The study found that there was no prior consultation or effective communication with the employees before the retrenchment process started. It is recommended that retrenchment process should be well planned, with a proper communication strategy and ongoing consultations with the employees. The remaining employees need support from management to cope with the effects of retrenchment. There are other better options to be considered such as voluntary pay-outs, job merging, deployment etc. instead of forced retrenchment

Evaluation of environmental factors affecting student stress in educational spaces based on Shannon entropy
Malihe Taghipour, Fatemeh Imani – July 2022- Page No.: 779-784
Stress is one of the important issues in modern societies and in fact an inevitable part of people’s lives. Educational environment are among the environments where people experience stress. Therefore, identification and extraction of environmental stressors to reduce them and increase spatial relaxation is the main objective of the present study. In this research, survey methodology and Delphi technique have been used to answer the research questions. This study has focused on the attitude of experts and professors in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, and architecture. In this regard, library resources were first studied and reviewed, and then open-ended interviews were conducted with twelve psychiatrists, psychologists, and professors in these areas in Shiraz, Iran. Then, Shannon’s content analysis method was used to analyze the information and extract the effective components of stress in educational environment according to the weight coefficients for their importance and acceptability. In the next step, the grouping of the contributing factors into four distinct categories was done by five professors in the field of architecture. The results indicate that independent variables have different degrees of impact on the dependent variable. Noise and inappropriate lighting were identified as the most important environmental components increasing the stress level. Congestion was determined as the most important psycho-social variable while inadequate availability of space and colors were suggested as significant physical and spatial components of stress. The conclusion of this study is some design strategies that are suggested to help in reducing stressors such as educational space location, arrangement, neighboring, shape, noise, heating, and cooling, ….

Mindfulness & stress level of the employees who work in the finance sector (An inclusive cross-sectional study on the Job related stress of the finance sector’s Hinduism employees in Northern peninsula in Sri Lanka during the period of Covid-19)
Ven. Wijithadhamma, Medagampitiye, Wasantha HPC – July 2022- Page No.: 785-793
Stress happens everywhere to each person and it is really a typical part of an individual’s life. It’s the body and mind reaction to a new and challenging situation. Everyone has different stress triggers. Work stress tops the list, according to surveys (Watson, S., 16 March 2022). The situation of COVID -19 carried a dissimilar shape and color to the workplace or work/job related stress. The COVID-19 pandemic has generated one of the worst jobs crises and there is a real hazard that the crisis was an expansion of stress in different ways to individuals who work in many jobs everywhere in the world. Studies claimed that there is an inverse association between mindfulness and stress (rdw.rowan.edu). According to the American Psychological Association- (APA) mindfulness meditation can improve both mental and physical health (Bartlett L, Buscot MJ., Bindoff A., Chambers R., Hassed C. at all, 10 September 2021). Kabat-Zinn defined mindfulness as “the awareness that arises through giving attention, on purpose, in the current moment, and non-judgmentally to the relating of experience moment by moment” (Kabat- Zinn, 2003, p. 145).
This cross-sectional study focused on applying mindfulness for managing job stress in the finance sector employees in Northern peninsula in Sri Lanka during the period of Covid-19. All the participants represented the religion of Hinduism. Hinduism is an Indian religion and dharma, or way of life (Sharma, 2003, pp. 12–13) and the dominant religion of India that emphasizes dharma with its resulting ritual and social observances and often mystical contemplation and ascetic practices (Merriam-webster.com). In this background, this research attempted to get an answer for the question; “could mindfulness be effective for managing work-place stress of the Hinduism employees who work in the field of finance during the pandemic of COVIID-9”. Henceforth, the general objective of this research is measuring the successfulness of the mindfulness for managing the work stress of Hinduism employees during the pandemic situation of COVIID-9. Specific objectives of this study are examine: 1) the physical, mental, and emotional effects of the stress at this pandemic situation that these employees are experiencing, 2) the capability of staying in the current moment; level of mindfulness of the employees & 3) Contribution of mindfulness to reduce the symptoms of perceived stress of the employees. The study was grounded on both primary and secondary data. The primary data has been collected online from 36 employees who represent top to bottom management level in the finance sector in Northern Province in Sri Lanka. Gathering of data was a vital part of the study and interviews and informal discussions had been conducted before and after the MBSR program.
As this is a mixed methods research, data interpretation was done using both quantitative and qualitative measures. It was observed that as a whole, before the MBSR program, many employees who worked in the Northern Province experienced moderate levels of stress and the data showed that employees had a considerable amount of mindfulness level. After the MBSR program the coping mechanism of the stress has developed into a positive level and the mindfulness level has greatly increased of the employees.

Challenges Faced by Academicians in Research and Publications in Higher Learning Institutions: A Case Study of Kampala International University in Tanzania
Dr. Mary A. Mosha – July 2022- Page No.: 801-807
The study was conducted at Kampala International University in Tanzania (KIUT) to establish challenges facing academic staff in doing research and publishing their outputs in scholarly journals. The study had a sample of 123 staffs that were selected through purposive sampling technique. The sample included senior and junior academic staffs. Data were collected through in-depth interview and documentary review and analysed using descriptive and thematic analysis. The findings revealed that few academic staffs were publishing despite the existing of university local Journal of Social Sciences and Business Studies. The staffs were faced with a number of challenges such as low motivation, lack of research funds, and incentives, teaching load and university various responsibilities. In addition to that, junior staffs lack mentorship, awareness of accredited journals to publish and knowledge on how to publish papers. Firstly, the study recommends the staff to apply for research funds and not to depend only to the Directorate of Postgraduate Studies and Research to seek funds for them. Secondly, the university should establish a mechanism to support its staffs rather than depending on research funds from funders that are hard to get. Thirdly, the fact that seminars and workshops are conducted at the university; academic staffs are required to attend in order to gain knowledge and skills on how to publish their research.

What Remains in Social Science Instruction During the Changing Times in a State-funded School in Southern Philippines: Moving Forward and What Can Be Done
Daryl Niko Lofranco Cempron – July 2022- Page No.: 808-813
The study primarily aimed at determining and utilizing extent of the Social Science instructors on instructional materials, and framing a capacity development framework to secure the quality of instructional delivery in the changing times. It employed the descriptive design undertaking the purposive sampling which resulted in obtaining 26 respondents from the total population, thus descriptive statistics had been used in analyzing and interpreting the collected data. The results reflected how social sciences are being taught by the 26 purposively sampled respondents and showed that the underlying instructional materials or the non-technological ones remained as top materials that are often and occasionally being utilized, collectively implying that regardless that these are categorized as traditional and commonly used, are still being perceived as efficient and effective, such that optimizing and redesigning them to adapt to the changing landscape of instruction is elucidated in this paper through a capacity development program paradigm, in which the implementation is urgently recommended.

Development of Journalism Education in India: Problems and Prospects
Md Abul Kalam Azad – July 2022- Page No.: 814-818
To cope up the challenge of globalization and information revolution, journalism education in India has flourished extensively by last seventy years of its inception. As a subject of profession, communication and journalism is very significant in the context that communication revolution in India has been identified as the crucial pathway to national development. Therefore, the media industry has expanded immensely and to fulfill its growing demand, within last seven decades from the beginning in 1941, a good number of university departments and institutions have been established for media education. More than 200 departments and institutes in India offer Bachelor, Masters, Post Graduate Diploma, MPhil and PhD programs in the field of mass communication and journalism. Among them, a good number of departments and institutes, enriched with scholarly professors, are internationally renowned in terms of global standard in media education. These prominent institutes, well-equipped with modern facility are playing contributory role by obtaining glorious achievements. However, still there are many Indian journalism institutes which beset with manifold problems including fund constraint, westernized text and curricula, insufficient research, lacking in practical training and so on. Nevertheless, Indian leading journalism institutes deserve kudos in terms of standard media education.
This article strives to pinpoint the status of prominent journalism institutes in India by identifying problems and prospects

Sustainable marketing and the moderation effect of consumer cognition on organisational performance of selected deposit money banks in Nigeria
Olawale Lola Adetunji, Oluwakemi Oludotun Oyefesobi, Oyindamola Zainab Ajao, Adeola Ahbeeb Adekunle – July 2022- Page No.: 819-826
Numerous evidence abound in various scholarly research studies that the growing challenges of deposit money banks remain consistent given that environmental challenges like Covid19/varying associated pandemic have continue to place more and more negative impact on organisational performance of deposit money banks particularly in Nigeria, yet deposit money banks still somehow continue to operate on the mirage of not giving due attention to some sustainable marketing elements. With the intent of investigating the affinity between sustainable marketing and the moderation effect of consumer cognition on organisational performance in selected deposit money banks in Nigeria,a sample of 565 was adopted from the study population of 1542 employees of selected deposit money banks, and the the inferential statistics for the analysis of the interaction between sustainable marketing and the moderating effect of consumer cognition on organisational performance of selected deposit money banks in Nigeria revealed that customer cognition had significant moderating effect on the relationship between sustainable marketing and organizational performance (R2 = 0.0157, F(1, 491) = 11.259, p<0.05). This therefore led the study to conclude on significant positive impact of sustainable marketing on organisational performance given the moderating effect of consumer cognition, hence the need for more attention on the elements of sustainable marketing for enhanced organisational performance.

The Mental Health of Medical Frontliners during the COVID 19 Pandemic
Miguel Den R. Sade, Ave V. Eragan, Dr. Mary Rachelle R. Wapaño – July 2022- Page No.: 827-836
In this time of the pandemic where major outbreaks are experienced, health care workers around the globe have been very much exhausted in addressing the needs of those who are infected with COVID-19. Many of which have affected not just their physical state but as well as their mental condition. This exhaustion does not exempt anyone; thus it is very much important to include mental health in combating COVID-19. This study aims to assess the mental health of workers in a medical health facility in Iligan City catering, accepting, and engaging with services in dealing with COVID-19 patients. It aims to assess and determine the levels of anxiety, burnout, compassion fatigue, and compassion satisfaction and to determine the relationship among these variables. The respondents of this study are registered nurses from the Iligan Medical Center Hospital located at San Miguel Village, Pala-o, Iligan City. Findings reveal that nurses have severe levels of anxiety and average for burnout, compassion fatigue, and compassion satisfaction. Most variables do have a relationship except for compassion satisfaction and anxiety.
The findings highlight the importance of addressing the mental health of the nurses working in IMCH whilst combating COVID-19. Therefore, the management should develop programs, seminars, and relevant policies in addressing mental health in the hospital. With these findings, one of the recommendations is to conduct activities and programs in ensuring that nurses are mentally healthy to continue their services to patients who are infected with COVID-19. Further recommendations are discussed in this research paper.

The Non-Integration of Refugees in South Africa as a Result of South African Domestic Rules
Habiba Yaouba – July 2022- Page No.: 837-842
To discourage and avoid refugees from seeking protection on its territory, the government of South Africa is increasingly implementing restrictive refugee policies and practices. These policies and practices include interruption, prohibition measures, and restrictive interpretations of the refugee definition. This trend has manifested itself in several different ways, including an increase in the number of people held in detention facilities, a decrease in the number of benefits received from welfare programs, and severe restrictions placed on the possibilities of achieving financial independence, as well as restricted rights to reunite families. The denial of essential social, economic, political, and cultural rights, as well as other rights guaranteed by the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and other rights guaranteed under the OUA 1969 Convention, is one of the primary ways that the application of discouragement procedures has more recently been extended within the country to recognized refugees. This has primarily taken place as a result of a reduction in the standards of treatment that are provided to refugees. Refugees in South Africa frequently violate their fundamental legal protections because of a lack of available resources. Xenophobia and prejudice against foreigners, particularly towards refugees, have also increased in the country in recent years. These attitudes contribute to an aggressive local environment in which reduced treatment standards are tolerated or even seen as acceptable. In particular, this prejudice is directed toward refugees. Even though the State of South Africa has ratified the 1951 Convention and its 1967 Protocol, the application of the convention varies greatly depending on the national, economic, social, and cultural conditions at any given time

Secondary Students’ Bangla Essay Writing Problems: Determination and Solution
Gazee Mahmud Hassan – July 2022- Page No.: 843-852
The undertaking of this study is to identify secondary level students’ essay writing difficulty in Bangla as the first language and to suggest ways of solving those problems. The study was carried out among the Students, Teachers’ of a Co-Educational school of Bangladesh. In this research, the design used is descriptive with qualitative research method. A sample of 30Bangla language students was chosen by means of a random non-probability sampling procedure. The students of selected school were instructed to write a descriptive composition of about 650 -750 words on the topic “Amar Niz Gram“(My Own village). The students’ essays were evaluated two times by 2 Bangla language teachers. The goal was to make outthe inaccuracy and error made by the learners. The findings exposed that those secondary level learners have a variety of difficulties in essay writing: language difficulties at the stage of syntax; procedural error, and unconscious mechanical errors such as spelling, punctuation and incomplete sentence, lack of writing expansion skills and cognitive problems. A number of suggestions have been made in accordance with the findings of the research: It would be constantly supportive to tell pupils to rework on their written effort. The natural pauses while speaking would help them in appropriate punctuation usage. The mistakes associated with spelling could be corrected by means of dictionaries or spellcheckers. Usage mistakes and grammar mistakes will eventually disappear, if the students read the texts of various sources like books, articles, journals, newspapers, etc. extensively (better to put in solution section).

The Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on The Profitability of Nigerian Banks
Hajara Dibal Yakadi – July 2022- Page No.: 853-870
The research focuses on the impact of corporate social responsibility on profitability. The project focus on the banking industry in Nigeria. Corporate social responsibility has been incorporated in most corporations’ activities and most times do not consider the implications it has on the corporations. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to examine the impact of corporate social responsibility expenditure on the profitability of the banks in Nigeria. The proxies for profitability are earnings per share (EPS), return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) while that of corporate social responsibility is all expenses incurred by the company for a given period.
A quantitative approach was used in this study. We made use of secondary data was gotten from the annual financial report of the selected banks. We examined the annual financial report of Access Bank Plc, Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB), United Bank for Africa (UBA), and Zenith Bank Plc. These four (4) banks are registered on Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). The sampling technique adopted is a probabilistic and non-probabilistic sampling technique to select the banks out of a total of twenty-two (22) banks in Nigeria. These banks were selected because they were ranked as the top banks that participate in corporate social responsibility. The data gathered was gotten from seven (7) years of the annual financial report of the four (4) selected banks. The period covered is 2015-2021 using a simple linear regression analysis through E-views 8 software.
The result showed that there is an impact of corporate social responsibility on the return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). The result also showed that there is no impact of corporate social responsibility on earnings per share (EPS).
The research concluded that the directors should ensure that they incorporate social responsibility in the bank’s activities in a way that would be of great benefit to the entity. The corporate social responsibility policy developed should consider staff welfare and government should be more involved in ensuring compliance and disclosure of the company’s social responsibility

Prevalence of Burnout in Pastoral Ministry among Catholic Religious Men and Women of Mbarara Archdiocese in Uganda
Ronald Musinguzi Kersteins, Elizabeth Ngozi Okpalaenwe (PhD), Wambua Pius Muasa (PhD) – July 2022- Page No.: 871-877
Burnout in pastoral ministry is increasingly becoming an issue of concern among helping professionals. It is generally associated with certain emotional and psychological symptoms that may arise in the context of work stress. However, there are minimal studies with Catholic religious men and women. Therefore, the current study had two objectives: to examine the prevalence of burnout in pastoral ministry among Catholic religious men and women in Mbarara Archdiocese in Uganda; and to establish burnout prevalence in different years of pastoral ministry among Catholic religious men and women in Mbarara Archdiocese in Uganda. The study adopted a mixed method explanatory sequential design. The target population of the study was 280 Religious men and women. Through proportionate stratified random sampling, a sample size of 165 participants was selected. Purposive sampling was utilized to select 10 participants for the qualitative strand. Data was collected using Questionnaires and In-depth Interview Guide. The quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics with IBM SPSS version 21 application software and the qualitative data was analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings of the study show that most religious men and women in Mbarara Archdiocese have moderate levels of burnout. However, the fact that there are those with higher levels of both emotional exhaustion (n=15; 10.6%) and depersonalization (n=31; 21.8%) coupled with lower levels of personal accomplishment (n=53; 37.3%) could not be under looked. On regard to burnout prevalence in different years in ministry, the result indicated that those religious between 5-10 years of ministering scored low on personal accomplishment (M=1.1395) and scored high on both emotional exhaustion (M=2.4186) and depersonalization (M = 2.7805) compared to the rest of the other groups.

The Big Five Personality Traits and Attitude towards the Same Gender Relationships among University Students in Nairobi County, Kenya
Wambua Pius Muasa (PhD) – July 2022- Page No.: 878-883
The objective this study was to investigate the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and attitude towards the same gender relationships among University students in Nairobi County, Kenya. The study employed a correlational research design using a simple random sampling technique. The study adopted a sample size of 294 number of participants. The data was collected using the Big Five Inventory Scale and Attitude towards Homosexuality Scale. The data was analyzed using regression analysis. The findings of the study reported only two personality traits had positive and significant predictive relationship with attitude towards the same gender relationships which were agreeableness (β=.513, p<.05) and conscientiousness (β=.326, p<.05). Agreeableness personality trait showed positive attitude to lesbians (β=.0.275, p≤.05) whereas those with conscientiousness personality trait showed positive attitude towards gay men (β=0.206, p<.05). On the other hand, extraversion, neuroticism and openness traits showed insignificant negative relationship with attitude towards the same gender relationships. The study recommends the future studies to replicate the same study with students from public universities in Nairobi Kenya to confirm the findings of this study. Also, future studies may consider using qualitative or mixed method approaches in order to have a wider understanding of influence of the Big Five personality traits on attitude towards the same gender relationships among the University students
