Assessment of the Influence of Environmental Adult Education on Solid Waste Management in South-South Federal Universities, Nigeria
Bassey, Rebecca Edem and Adekola Ganiyu- December 2021- Page No.: 01-07
The study examines the influence of environmental adult education (EAE) on solid waste management in Federal Universities in South-South Nigeria. The data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Findings from the study revealed that awareness of staff and students in Federal Universities in South-South Nigeria on solid waste management is low. The study further revealed that despite the positive influence of EAE on solid waste management on universities campuses the universities managements are not promoting EAE. The study concluded that EAE which promotes awareness of and about the environment among the staff and students must be introduced. The study recommended that management of the universities should carry out aggressive EAE on campus by introducing it as a compulsory General Studies course for students at all levels and organize regular seminars/workshops based on EAE to staff, students, and other members of the university communities.

Innovation and Social Inequalities in Africa
Audu, Solomon, Gbadamosi, Jumoke – December 2021- Page No.: 12-16
Social inequality is found across the continent of Africa just as in any other continent. Social inequalities portend to have negative effects on the populace of any region. Therefore, this study is set to examine the effect of innovation on the level of social inequality on selected countries in Africa. The theories that form the bedrock for discussion in this study is the saturation theory and the system theory. The study population is made up of all forty-eight mainland countries in Africa. While purposive sampling was used to select twelve countries based on the availability of data. The Ex-post facto research design was adopted and the linear regression was used in measuring the effect of the independent variable which is information technology on the dependent variables which are human development index, the level of income distribution and the level of female gender literacy index in Africa. The result shows an adjusted R2 of 41.5% which indicates that innovation alone does not account for the level of income distribution of the selected countries in Africa. This means that the remaining 58.5% represents other factor not captured in this study that can also explain the level of income distribution of the selected countries in Africa. The result further shows a computed p-value of 0.014 at 5% level of significance. This indicates that innovation has a significant effect on income distribution of the selected countries in Africa. It is recommended that governments of countries on the African continent need to provide and promote the infrastructure on which technological innovation can be built on and made assessable by all regardless of social class.

Overcoming Fear to Improve English Speaking Skill
Nafisa Sultana, Bedoura Jamin- December 2021- Page No.: 17-27
Among four skills of English, speaking plays a vital role in achieving competence in the language. To speak effectively it is important first to acquire competence and then perform. Students face difficulties to speak in English in order to express their thoughts because of the psychological obstacle like fear. The objective of this research is to determine whether fear works as a barrier to improve English speaking skills. This research has been carried out using quantitative method. Forty respondents were selected using convenience sampling technique. Questionnaire was created using Google form to collect data. The data has been analyzed numerically and displayed in charts and tables. The findings reveal that fear acts as a barrier to improve English speaking because there is not enough opportunity to practice. Therefore, most of the students are afraid of giving speech or making presentation in front of the audience. They become nervous while speaking as they anticipate receiving negative criticisms. The fear of being laughed at or mocked by others are considered as the most significant barrier to improve speaking in English.

Traditional Authorities and Decentralisation in Cameroon
Wanji Kabao Hubert- December 2021- Page No.: 28-34
In Cameroon, traditional authorities are referred to by the generic term of traditional chieftaincy. The chieftaincy is a level of the administrative organisation. It is governed by the 1977 decree and the 2013 decree which amends and supplements certain provisions. Over the years, the role and place of traditional chieftaincy has constantly evolved. As custodian of customs and traditions, it originally constituted micro-States or vassal States in the pre-colonial era. With colonisation, it played a collaborative role which, not without distorting its original value, continues in the post-colonial era. Within the framework of decentralisation, implemented by Law No. 96/06 of 18 January 1996, the status of traditional authorities has undergone a new evolution which certainly gives them a certain visibility in the decentralised local authority without, however, removing their confined role of auxiliary to the administration. Instead of essentially addressing the issue of over-centralisation of decisions at the summit of the State, including the exclusion of vulnerable social groups and the lack of interest in local institutions, decentralisation through the politicisation of chiefs is also likely to be a source of conflict between chiefs and populations that they are supposed to defend and lead.

The United States “War on Terror” Strategy: Classic and Contemporary Concepts of War
Dr. Arash Sharghi, Irina Dotu- December 2021- Page No.: 35-42
This study sought to explore the classical and contemporary conceptualization of war and terrorism and to discuss the derivation of US “War on Terror” strategy within the related literature. Notwithstanding to the high number of terrorism-related studies, the major part of those defines terrorism considering the assumptions on the clash of ethics, ideologies, identities and ideas, and see “war on terror” as the security or defense response against nihilist insurgency movements. On another hand, a literature on terrorism was developed, which is disclaiming terrorism and “war on terror” as the objective geopolitical instruments used for the US hegemony and in accordance with the US demands. Therefore, this paper is an attempt to look at the “War on Terror” strategy through the lenses of classical and contemporary concepts of war and terrorism. The research method is descriptive and qualitative through using the secondary sources. This study will show how the US “war on terror” was legitimized by the terrorism industry and finds its place within classic war paradigm.

Challenges Facing Learner Leadership at Schools
Elock Emvula Shikalepo & Selma Ndeyapo Kandjengo – December 2021- Page No.: 43-51
The purpose of the study was to establish the challenges that faced learner leadership at school level. A case study design was used as a methodology for the research, whose sample comprised of school principals, teachers and learners of Oshana Region. All participants were selected using purposive sampling. The data was collected with document analysis, semi-structured questionnaires, interviews, observation and journaling. The collected data was analysed by establishing themes.
The study established that learner leadership was faced by challenges which relates to the lack of support from senior school structures. Teachers were not providing the required support to learner leaders, and instead made comments which were discouraging learner leaders from executing their leadership responsibilities. Similarly, school principals were also not providing enough support to learner leaders as any issues raised to the school principal were not attended to promptly, and learner leaders were not provided with ample opportunities to make their voice heard. The lack of support from senior management discouraged learner leaders from executing the leadership roles effectively.
In addition, indiscipline among learners also gave learner leaders hardships in executing their leadership roles, especially that learner leaders were not receiving the required leadership support and guidance from the senior school leadership on how to conform unusual behaviours among other learners. An understanding of the challenges facing learner leadership at school could help educational authorities to develop better interventions for addressing the challenges facing learner leaders in the execution of their leadership roles, thereby allowing learner leaders to execute their leadership functions effectively at school.

CSU Cabadbaran Stakeholders’ Awareness and Acceptance of the New Vision and Mission: The CITTE Experience
Ramil B. Arante, Marisol Jane M. Beray, Cecilia H. Tadal – December 2021- Page No.: 52-61
The research was carried out at Caraga State University State University Cabadbaran City (CSUCC), particularly in the College of Industrial Technology and Teacher Education (CITTE). It was aimed at determining the awareness and acceptance of the CSUCC stakeholders on the new vision and mission of the university. This study employs a descriptive research design the survey method. The data was gathered using a survey questionnaire created by the researcher. The questionnaire was benchmarked from OBE instruction adopted from the revised instrument developed by the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities of the Philippines, Inc. (AACCUP) in 2010. The study participants are 522 sampled stakeholders comprising of students, parents, faculty members, and non-teaching personnel. The information gathered was compiled and evaluated using relevant statistical software. Analysis of Variance with Post-Hoc Analysis was utilized to determine any significant differences among stakeholders’ responses. Results of the study revealed that the stakeholders who participated in this study are highly aware and highly accepted the new vision and mission of the university. The data further revealed that CSUCC employees have the highest grand means in both levels of awareness and acceptance with 4.78 and 4.71, respectively.
In contrast, the students had the lowest grand means on both levels of awareness and acceptance with 4.51 and 4.52, respectively. There is a significant difference in the level of awareness and acceptance among the three (3) stakeholders involved in the survey, which can be attributed to their level of understanding. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the new vision and mission of the university is well formulated, well disseminated, and fully understood based on the high level of acceptance and awareness among stakeholders. In light of the conclusion, it can be recommended that the coverage of the survey will be extended beyond the College of Industrial Technology and Teacher Education for an enormous scope of findings. Other stakeholders are suggested to be included for a complete result. The extent of dissemination and Level of understanding of the new vision and mission of the university will also be included in the next phase of the study.

Aileen Joyce J Lim, Mary Rachelle R Wapano, Ph.D- December 2021- Page No.: 62-67
This study examined the relationship between basic psychological needs and satisfaction with life among the elderly in rural area in the Phillipines.
Findings revealed that elderly indicated that their basic psychological needs are generally satisfied:. The results show that of the psychological needs autonomy (M=4.82, SD=0.94), competence (M=4.94, SD=1.08), and relatedness (M=5.46, SD=1.03) are generally satisfied.
Additionally, respondents reported general satisfaction with life mean score (M=25.90, SD=0.37). The respondents of this study report that they are generally satisfied with their quality of life, achievement, and past experiences
This study also revealed that basic psychological needs do not significantly predict life satisfaction. It is recommended that other factors be investigated which could potentially predict life satisfaction.

The subject of the study are 64 grade 20 students at Indanan National High School -Annex .two method of teaching are studied .the modular small group discussion method and the lecture discussion method in teaching the Araling Panlipunan subject .The topics are continuously presented to the students during the third quarter of the K-12 curriculum. Pretest – posttest design was utilized to determine the performance of the students in the two methods of teaching .The pretest was given before the formal teaching while the posttest was given after the formal teaching.
Statistical computation and analysis was utilized to determine the mean score of the grade 10 students in the pretest and posttest revealed the following significant findings:
1. In a Focus Group Discussion the teachers favor the modular small group discussion method as the most appropriate teaching method used in history subject. The teachers participated in FGD has cited advantages of the modular small group discussion method, that the students can exercise free-well to learn the subject based on their discussion .The students can explicitly contextualize the lesson and eventually localized in their own understanding .
2. The mean difference of the scores of the grade 10 students do not differ significantly in the two method of teaching.
3. The mean difference of the scores in the posttest significantly differ which implies that the modular small group discussion significantly effective than the lecture discussion method.
The study concluded that the appropriate teaching method favorable to the teachers in the Focus Group Discussion is the modular small group discussion method. The teachers justified by determine advantages of the modular small group discussion method over the lecture discussion method. There is no significant difference of the mean scores of the grade 10 students in the pretest but substantial significant difference is observed in the posttest which implied that the modular small group teaching method is significantly effective than the lecture discussion method.

Benefits of Beekeeping in Rural Areas: Insights from Chipinge District in Zimbabwe
John Mwandifura, Innocent Mharidzo, Dr. Lovemore Chikazhe, Dr. J Manyeruke, Dr. N Mashavakure and Benny Chidziso- December 2021- Page No.: 73-84
The study sought to establish the sustainability of beekeeping business in rural areas of Chipinge District. The existence of thick forests and perennial rivers and availability of wild plants that flowers in different times of the year, has also driven some farmers into beekeeping. The utility of beekeeping enterprise as a livelihood activity has been fully realized in the whole district, including the Lowveld, with poor vegetation for bees and poor water availability. This study was carried out to find out how communities can benefit from the sustainable beekeeping programme. The study examined the strategies the community employed to enhance its livelihoods through the sharing of activities from a sustainable beekeeping programme. The research used questionnaires, structured interviews and observations as sources of gathering data. The study established the benefits which accrued from beekeeping that covered honey as food, income in the form of cash, medicines, scenery creation for tourism and income generating projects through making of hives, making honey processing machines (manual honey pressers), making bee suits, opening shops which sell honey packaging materials, growing of flowers and citrus fruits which attract bees. Employment creation and increasing in the number of income activities in the area has been witnessed due to beekeeping business. Beekeeping as a business led into diversification of income generation options leading to improvement of standard of living of rural people through utilization of their local available resources. The study recommends that the sustainability of beekeeping enterprise should be supported by both backward and forward linkages. The government policies should support the efforts of beekeepers. Beekeepers in Zimbabwe do not get loans from banks and this should be rectified by both private players and the government.

Adaptive Capacity on Flexible Learning in the New Normal: The Case of Davao Del Norte State College
Arnold M. Duping, PhD; Ronald S. Decano, PhD; Jevannel G. Borlio – December 2021- Page No.: 85-99
This study aims to investigate the adaptive capacity of the students and faculty members of Davao del Norte State College in the new teaching and learning modalities demanded by this new normal setting. With the CoViD-19 pandemic lurking into the academic grounds, posing new challenges, the researchers initiated to describe the academic profile of the 2547 students and 109 faculty members. Results revealed that utilizing television and transistor radio devices on blended learning may not be effective due to a huge number of learners who will not be able to access learning materials delivered through these media. Moreover, 1148 of 2290 students described not having Internet connection at home. Yet, on the status of Internet connectivity, only 67 learners have no Internet access in their area.

Decay and Disappearance of Buddhism in its Land of Birth
Dr. Sumudu Dharmarathna – December 2021- Page No.: 100-104
The decline and disappearance of Buddhism from its land of birth, is one of the most important subjects of the History of South Asian religion. It is accepted that Buddhism was disappeared in the land of its birth from the 13th century CE, because there is no continuation of sculptural creations and other constructional activities of the Buddhist monastic sites in the sub-continent then onwards. Scholars have tried to identify the factors behind the process of decay and disappearance of Buddhism. Among the numerous issues on that, in this research study, the main point of attention is on growth and popularity of Mahayanism and the introduction of Tantrism, which some scholars have highlighted as the most important factor for the decay of Buddhism. Further, attempt to identify real factor among various other issues in this regards.

Developing Farmers and Fisherfolks Entrepreneurial Capacity towards Community Based-Enterprise
Nerisa N. Paladan- December 2021- Page No.: 105-115
The study assessed the level of personal entrepreneurial competencies of farmers and fisherfolks towards community-based enterprise engagement. Specifically, it determines which competencies they excel in, recognizes the differences of entrepreneurial competency in terms of gender, business experience, and educational attainment and its correlation to age. Furthermore, the framework was developed in implementing community-based enterprises. Descriptive research was adopted; 206 farmers and 100 fisherfolks are the respondents of this study; they were surveyed, and assessed the level of entrepreneurial competencies using the Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies (PEC) Questionnaire with fifty-five questions through Likert scale. Findings reveal that farmers and fisherfolks have a moderate entrepreneurial competency; both rank first the risk-taking and goal setting as the least. Farmer self-confidence increases as they age while for fisherfolks it declines; male farmers are more persuasive, farmers with business experience have higher competency for opportunity-seeking and risk-taking, and farmers’ competency differs in terms of their educational attainment. While fisherfolks show no difference in entrepreneurial competency for both men and women, with or without business experience, and only the competency for persistence differ in their educational attainment. Developing a framework for implementing community-based enterprise should focus on intensifying the entrepreneurial competency of farmers and fisherfolks.

Views of Religious Leaders on Radicalism in Palu City
Rus’an, H. Juraid Abdul Latief, Muhammad Khairil, Hasan Muhamad – December 2021- Page No.: 116-120
The view of Religious Figures towards Radicalism in Palu City, Central Sulawesi. This study aims to: 1) find out the views of religious figures in Palu City about radicalism in the context of thoughts or ideas, 2) to find out the views of religious figures in Palu City about radicalism in actions and movements, 3) To find out the strategies in overcoming radicalism. This research employed a qualitative method with an inductive approach. The research informants consist of interfaith leaders in Palu City. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document studies.The study results show that the views of religious figures in Palu City on radicalism in the context of thoughts or ideas are not disputed and not to be concerned because every religious adherent wants to return to the basis of his religious purity. Therefore, the truth claim, which is considered one of the radical characteristics, is wrong. Religious adherents must believe in the fact of their religion and must believe that anything Contrary to their religion is wrong. Believing in the truth of religion is a condition of faith in every adherent. Thus it should not be a concern as long as it is not followed by violence. The view of religious figures in Palu City towards radicalism in the context of actions and movements violates all religious values. No religion justifies violent actions. The strategies in anticipating and reducing the growth of radicalism, namely maintaining and reviving the culture of local wisdom and building interfaith communication through the Religious Communication Forum (FKUB).

Challenges faced by Learners with Visual Impairment while Learning Science Practical’s in Inclusive classrooms in Luapula Province of Zambia
Dr Penda Annie , Nkonge Mubanga- December 2021- Page No.: 144-151
This study focused on the challenges faced by learners with visual impairment while learning science practical’s in an inclusive classroom. The main objective of the study was, to establish the challenges faced by learners with visual impairment while learning science practical’s in inclusive classrooms.The study was conducted at 2 inclusive secondary schools in Luapula province because the schools had learners with visual impairment. The study used the interpretivism research paradigm which is also called qualitative research paradigm. Thus the instruments for data collection were the focused group discussion guide for teachers, structured interview guide for learners with visual impairment and observation checklist for both learners and teachers.
The study found that learners with visual impairment faced challenges during science practical’s and these were difficulties in identifying colours during experiments, of depending on the sighted learners for experimental proceedings and results, the use of learning methods which stressed the use of sight, using non-embossed learning materials, lack of using the sense of touch in their learning and being handled by untrained teachers.
The study unveiled that to address the challenges faced by learners with visual impairment while learning science practical’s in inclusive classrooms, the methods to be used in learning must be multisensory, Braille to be used as a medium of instruction, embossed colour charts and apparatus to be provided, an adaptive science curriculum to be provided and teachers should be trained in special education so that they could acquire skills and knowledge to handle such learners. Suggested recommendations for the study included the use of multisensory learning methods, use of braille as a medium of instruction, using adaptive curriculum and training teachers in special education.

Challenges Which Hinder Citizen Participation in Governance Affairs in Nalusanga Zone, Mumbwa District, Zambia
Andrew Nswana and Eunifridah Simuyaba- December 2021- Page No.: 152-158
This study explored the challenges which hinder citizen participation in governance issues in Nalusanga Zone of Mumbwa District. The major aim of the study was to establish the challenges which hindered citizen participation in governance processes with a view to inform policy direction. A qualitative research approach, anchored on an exploratory research design, was applied to achieve the research purpose. Interview guides and focus group discussions were used as research instruments to explore the research problem on purposively selected individuals. Data which was analysed thematically, revealed recurring themes from the data. The study revealed that citizens faced a number of challenges in governance participation. These included; ignorance, poor distribution of resources, poverty, illiteracy, having ineffective participatory systems and platforms which influenced the participation of the citizens in public governance.Upon establishing a number of challenges that citizens faced in governance affairs, the study made a number of recommendation to counter the stated challenges. Among the main recommendation were the need for the government to provide empowerment funds to the area in order to reduce poverty levels. The need to sensitise members of the public about the importance of citizen participation in national affairs was also recommended. The government was to develop platforms for public participation which are relevant, coordinated and accessible in order for the public to participate in governance and development in a meaningful manner. Finally, there was need to create interactive public consultations in order to improve the quality of participation.

Spatio-Temporal Geomorphic Landscape Dynamics and Possible Geological Hazards in Ghana
Ezekiel Addison Otoo, Yaw Asamoah (PhD), George Boateng & Ishmael Yaw Dadson (PhD) – December 2021- Page No.: 159-164
The recent deteriorating nature of the Mile 11 hills has made the area a potential geo-hazard zone given the extent of human activities and the level of excavations on-going. The study sought to investigate the extent of landscape change and possible geological hazards between 1986 and 2016. It adopted the exploratory sequential design and the mixed research methodology. The study used spatial cartographic tools (GIS and Remote Sensing) to examine the extent of landscape change as well as interviewed 32 participants (residents and experts) for the qualitative analysis through the purposive sampling method. The results confirmed the landscape was undergoing both degradation and depositional geomorphic changes. About 56.11% of the landscape underwent degradation while 43.89% underwent deposition. Geomorphic change in the municipality was largely due to anthropogenic change rather than geological changes which were evidence by the activities of urbanisation, sand winning and quarrying on-going in the area, posing potential geo-hazard risk to residents in the area. The major factors found to be responsible for landscape change included geological, meteorological, and anthropogenic factors. Possible geological hazards envisaged included earth quake, landscape influenced flooding and mudflow. It was recommended that hazard prone areas should also be zoned and residents relocated to prevent future fatalities. Proper coordination was also recommended between traditional land owners, EPA, GGSA and GSMA to enhance proper planning in the municipality.

Godwin Uzochukwu Nosiri, Alwell Nteegah, Monday Robinson and Ijeoma Kalu – December 2021- Page No.: 165-173
This paper examined the implications of selected government agricultural support projects on job creation in Rivers State. Specifically, it examined the contributions of Risonpalm Estate (now SIART NIG. LTD), School-to-Land Programme and Songhai Farm all in Rivers state on rural employment. In order to achieve the objectives of the paper, a cross-sectional research design, using survey method was adopted and combinations of descriptive and inferential statistics were used for the analysis of the responses generated using a well-structured questionnaire. The findings revealed that government agricultural projects/supports to farmers have helped to create more jobs in the host communities thereby contributed to improving living conditions of the people in the host communities and the state at large. Based on these findings, the study concluded that government sponsored agricultural activities/projects have contributed to employment in the rural communities in Rivers State. Thus, the paper recommends among others that government should increase support to farmers and funding to the farms, train farmers in the rural communities through extension services and renovate moribund farms in order to solve the problem of unemployment ravaging rural communities and the state at large.

Ndah Divine Selorm, Adom Faith Mawunyo, Jessica Amoah- December 2021- Page No.: 174-180
There are many musical types that are found in Ghana. The primary ones are Art, Popular and Traditional musical types. This study sought to explain the differences that exist between these three musical types and also find out which of them is the preferred choice among students of some selected Colleges of Education in Ghana, so that, the students preferred musical type could be used to communicate with them in the academic space on the campuses. In order to seek the answers for the study, 300 students were sampled using Convenience and Random sampling techniques. With interview, questionnaire and Observation as the research instruments. The study revealed that, majority of the respondents like the Popular musical type over the Art and Traditional types. This could inform policy makers on education in the Colleges whether to use popular musical type as a teaching strategy since it goes down well with the majority of the student body.

Human Resources and Service Delivery in Tier One Private Hospitals in Nairobi City County, Kenya
Ian Barry Odhiambo, Godfrey M. Kinyua, PhD- December 2021- Page No.: 181-187
Despite the governments’ efforts to provide health care services to their citizens through public hospitals, the public demand for medical services ends up overwhelming the public hospitals especially in developing countries. As a result, service delivery in the public hospitals is compromised which has resulted into the rise of private hospitals. However, limited studies has approached service delivery in private hospitals from the perspective of human resources hence this study. The study used descriptive cross-sectional survey design. A sample of 131 respondents was targeted comprising of health workers from the Tier One private hospitals in Nairobi City County. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Applying correlation and simple regression, results showed that a strong positive relationship exist between human resources and service delivery. Regression analysis revealed that recruiting an additional one employee in a tier one private hospital increases service delivery in the hospital. The study concludes that human resources have a significant positive effect on service delivery in the hospitals. It recommends that human resource managers in the hospitals should ensure that they develop and implement strategic human resource management practices to enhance service delivery.

Towards achieving Innovation through mainstreaming Sustainable Development Goal 4 on Quality Higher Education the Southern African Perspective
GN Shava, S. Hleza, E Mathonsi, S. Shonhiwa, Nkosikhona Hlabangana- December 2021- Page No.: 188-201
The purpose of this article is to establish the challenges of achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) on Quality education and education for sustainable development, focusing on four universities in the Southern African SADC region. The study draws on the critical realist theory of structure, culture and agency theoretical view point to understand the implementation of sustainable development goal 4 on quality higher education. Specifically, it examines the structural, cultural and agential conditions in higher education that constrain or enable the achievement of quality higher education. This study is conducted using a qualitative research approach with an interpretive epistemological and constructivist ontological perspective. The research findings are analysed through thick descriptions and the element of voice in the text. The interpretive paradigm enabled the researchers to see, hear and understand the particular meaning making inherent in peoples’ lives within their institutions. This paper has practical implications for higher education institutions seeking to achieve quality teaching and learning for sustainable development and lifelong learning. Its findings show that higher education curriculum and pedagogy need to be reoriented to address issues of quality and lifelong learning. Our study is one of the studies in Africa to examine issues of lifelong learning, quality and education for sustainable development specifically in the Southern African Region and context of higher education. It is one of the first studies to explore the provision of higher education and addressing key targets of sustainable development goal 4 and its targets to be achieved by 2030. The study forms part of the broader theoretical and methodological debate on the use and application of the realist theory in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)

Contraceptive use among High School Students in The Effutu Municipality, Ghana; The Unknown Perception
Otoo, E.A., Tackie-Yarboi, D., Gyimadoh, B., Yayra, H., Gyasi, S., and Gyan, A. – December 2021- Page No.: 202-206
In the Ghanaian society, many high school students are ignorant of the various forms of contraceptive methods available and how they are effectively used, despite significant numbers being sexually active. This study sought to investigate the perception of high school students towards the use of contraceptive in the Effutu Municipality. The study employed both qualitative and quantitative methods to sample sixty (60) students from two SHS schools in the municipality as well as six (6) teachers who were patrons of reproductive health clubs from the participating schools, four (4) staffs from the family planning and reproductive health units of the Trauma Specialist Hospital, and the Municipal Hospital and also ten (10) persons identified as pharmacists, health assistants or counter assistants in drugs stores, chemical shop and pharmacies within the study area were also interviewed. A self-administered questionnaire was used in obtaining data on the perception of students. The results showed that male student had a positive perception of contraceptives and their use as against females. Again, findings from the study indicated misperceptions tended to cloud the judgment of adolescents towards contraceptives, thus serving as a barrier to the use of contraceptives. From the study it was recommended that an adolescent friendly facilities be established across the country to help adolescents make informed choices pertaining to sex and their reproductive health.

Health system factors associated with choice of place of delivery among postnatal women in Marsabit County, Kenya
Christine Bokayo Arero, MPH, Keraka Nyanchoka Margaret, PhD (Professor), Shadrack Yonge Ayieko, PhD, Matoke Omwenga Vincent, MPH, Okari Maseme Geoffrey, MSc – December 2021- Page No.: 207-215
Background: Worldwide, there were approximately 295,000 women died as a result of pregnancy and childbirth related complications in 2017. Majority of this was from Sub-Saharan Africa with 196000. In Africa, about seventy-five per cent maternal and neonatal deaths occur outside health facilities. In Kenya, maternal mortality rate is 362 per 100,000 live births with 61.2% deliveries occurring in hospitals. There is still evidence of home deliveries despite significant efforts through several interventions.
Objective: The study aims to determine health system factors associated with choice of place of delivery among postnatal women in Marsabit County, Kenya.
Materials and methods: This research adopted a mixed descriptive cross-sectional study design method. Quantitative and qualitative research methods were used to collect data from participants. A total of 416 respondents were interviewed. The respondents were drawn from households using systematic random sampling at a predetermined interval of four. The study was done in 24 selected villages from Moyale Township, Golbo, Dukana and North-Horr Wards. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 was used to analyze descriptive data. Inferential statistics such as Chi-Square tests at 95% confidence level and p-values of 0.05 was used to determine variable association.
Results: About 178(43.3%) of postnatal women delivered at home in Marsabit County. Chi-square statistics indicated that most health system factors such as distance to the nearest facility (p=0.001), experience with care provider (0.012), hindrance from health facility (p=0.008) and provision of information (0.001) were associated with choice of place of delivery. Results from focused group interviews and key informants were reported as direct narrations.
Conclusion: The study concluded that there was a significant number of women who are still delivering at home in Marsabit County. Majority of the health system factors were associated with choice of place of delivery. This requires concerted efforts by relevant stakeholders to ensure improved access health facility delivery through mobile clinics to assist women deliver under the hands of skilled birth attendants thus discouraging home deliveries.

AKINPELU, Ibrahim Lanre, OJO Solomon Ayantayo, ADEGOKE Olusegun Steve, AKANMU, Rahman Opeyemi- December 2021- Page No.: 216-228
This study investigated child trafficking, its security implications and the role of NAPTIP in Nigeria. The research design adopted in the study was an archival survey design. Data were sourced from NAPTIP zonal offices for the data analysis using quantitative approach. The data were presented in tables and charts to showcase the outcomes of the research findings. The results showed that child trafficking has become a societal problem with negative implications for security that needed concerted efforts from both the agency in control of human trafficking and the people in every society. The trends and patterns of child trafficking are very complex and posed various challenges that are identified in the study. Conclusions, implication of findings and recommendations were established. However, Nigeria government should proactively harness all security outfits to share some of the NAPTIP responsibilities among others such as Immigrations, Customs, NSCDC, Police and Nigerian Armed forces synergistically to end child trafficking in our borders.

Back to Nature: A Jonasian Approach to the Problem of Mankind’s Excessive Exploitation of the Natural Environment
Peter Takov – December 2021- Page No.: 229-237
This article, informed by the current situation of technological advancements, analyzes and discusses solutions to it as presented by the Jewish Philosopher, Hans Jonas, who is believed to have “prophesied” ahead of his time. In this paper, I argue that what Jonas concurred in his days is more binding at the moment and will continue to reverberate for ages to come. In an attempt to discuss the Jonasian contribution to the issue of environmental protection and preservation, which touches on the ethics of responsibility, sandwiched by other contemporary thoughts that matter, I add another voice to the palaver of environmental protection. I argue primarily for the need for a conscious use of the environment, for an ethics and for the positive involvement of policy makers on the issue. I strongly stress the importance of implementing the Jonasian categorical imperative; “Act so that the effects of your action are compatible with the permanence of genuine human life”. My conclusion is that without an ethics of responsibility the future of mankind and of the whole biosphere is at stake. It is an ethical call to individual consciences – an ethics of the “first person.”

Drug Abuse, Youths and National Security Implications for Nigeria
AKINPELU, Ibrahim Lanre – December 2021- Page No.: 238-244
Drug abuse among youth population is globally identified as a threat to national security, especially in Nigeria. Although Nigeria was initially conceived as a drug-transit nation, regrettably, that conception has changed in recent times. It has profoundly aggravated to become a pose for drug abuse. Despite the counter narcotics efforts by NDLEA and other government agencies, a sizeable amount of youth population in Nigeria still abuse drugs. This study examined drug abuse among Nigerian youths and its implications for national security. The study reveals that the preponderance increase of drugs abuse in Nigeria is a veritable tool for violent crimes, aggression and youth restiveness. Erosion of human capital, unproductivity of youth population, deteriorating health as well as threat to national security were also key factors. The study relies on the analysis of secondary interpretative documents related to youth drug abuse and national security in Nigeria. The study also identified environment, family background, curiosity, enjoyment, parents socio-economic status, peer pressure as well as promotion and availability of drugs as the major contributing factors to the rising trends of drug abuse among youths in Nigeria. Adopting socio-cultural, biological, social-learning and securitization theories, the study concludes by prescribing some ways of curbing the menace arising from drug abuse and recommends for capacity building and strengthening of the NDLEA and other relevant agencies, increased awareness campaigns against drug abuse, educating students at all levels on the negative impact of drug abuse as well as parental involvement in the struggle.

Farmer Input Support Programme FISP in Zambia and State of Food security at house level in Chiawa District
Magasu Allan, Dr. Oliver Magasu (PhD)- December 2021- Page No.: 259-265
The main purpose of this study was to establish the state of food security at household level as a result of Farmer Input Support Programme (FISP) in Chiawa District, Zambia. The study employed a qualitative approach to generate data. Data was analysed using thematic analysis and simple statistics. Heterogeneous purposive sampling technique was employed to sample the participants. Data was collected through focus group discussions and interviews. An interview guide was administered to a sample of 21 FISP beneficiaries who were interviewed on one to one basis. A focus group guide was administered in three (3) Focus Groups. Six (6) Village headmen and two (2) Ministry of Agriculture (MA) officials were purposively selected and data was also collected through an interview guide. The main finding was that FISP had not resulted in household food security because of the following reasons; inadequacy of seeds and fertiliser, late delivery of inputs, limited seed varieties, lack of funds by some beneficiaries to pay the required farmer contribution to access inputs, sale of inputs by some beneficiaries. Based on the research findings, the study recommended among others that the government should consider subsidising the FISP pack further to enable the ajority of the small-scale farmers’ access it. Since the area is drought prone, the Ministry of Agriculture should consider including drought tolerant seed crops such as sorghum in the FISP, not just maize alone.

Religion and Morality: A Review of the Perspectives in Context
Zipporah N. Sitoki, Dr. John Ekwenye – December 2021- Page No.: 266-270
Religion and morality are not synonymous though, but some scholarly positions argue that sometimes religion affects morality. The problem is that even though the society may seem to be practicing more of religious related pursuits, the level of morality continues to deteriorate, a fact that strengthens the argument of secularism and the opinion that religion and morality have no relationship. This paper therefore reviews relevant literature in relation to the topic in context, morality and religion, in accordance to the various perspectives in place. The paper is guided by the Divine Command Theory developed by a number of philosophers. The literature reveals a number of issues in reflection to religion and morality and the perspectives in place. In a nutshell, morality in the society should prevail regardless of the ideology an individual subscribes to given that the religious and non-religious people hold their views firm.

Stress and its effects on female students at a Zimbabwean State University
Annah Moyo, Dr Starlin Musingarambwi- December 2021- Page No.: 282-287
Indisputably, university students are exposed to multiple stress situations on a daily basis. However, research evidence shows that globally, female university students are more susceptible to stress than their male counterparts. This study sought to establish some causes and forms of stress, as well as effects of stress confronting undergraduate Bachelor of Education Degree female students at a satellite centre of a state university in Zimbabwe. We purposively selected a sample of 100 female students (n=100) comprising 50 married and 50 single. We preferred a qualitative survey and used a survey questionnaire and a semi-structured interview to collect data. Interview data were subjected to content analysis and distilled into broad themes, while a Chi-Square statistics was computed to prove the hypotheses to determine the association between the effects of stress and the marital status of female university students, thereby addressing the question on the effects of stress on these students. The findings revealed academic demands, economic hardships and social issues as major sources of stress and categories around which stress among female students revolved. An association existed between the female students’ marital status and effects of stress on them, in a statistically significant manner, prompting us to conclude that stress effects took their toll more on married female students than single female students. These findings have implications for furthering our understanding of stress experience profiles of female university students with a view to helping them to develop stress coping strategies.

Determinants of Fraudulent Financial Reporting in Nigeria: Integrating Fraud Triangle Theory Elements
ABILORO, Toba Olakunle ACA, OLORUNFEMI, Oladele Ebenezer- December 2021- Page No.: 288-297
This paper investigates the key determinants of fraudulent financial reporting in Nigeria by integrating fraud triangle theory elements (that is, Pressure [external pressure-Debt, financial stability-LDR, and financial target-ROA], Opportunity [ineffective monitoring], and Rationalization [auditor’s change]. The population this study is banking company listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange with a total sample of 135 from 15 banking companies between 2012-2020. Based on the results of research using regression analysis, the findings showed that pressure is having both positive and significant relationship with fraudulent financial reporting; also, rationalization is having significant but negative relationship, whereas opportunity is having positive but insignificant relationship. The study therefore conclude that among others, these elements are the key determinants of fraudulent financial reporting and also recommends that company should avoid huge debt profile and heavy target on the management in order to reduce the pressure to perpetrate fraud by the management. Also, they are encouraged to always appoint audit firm with required quality and integrity, and lastly, they should always enforce constant audit rotation as stipulated by the standard.

Women’s employment and the changing family pattern in Ankole Sub-region- Uganda
Asiimire Donath, Gertrude Fester, Medard Twinamatsiko, Benard Nuwatuhaire- December 2021- Page No.: 323-335
This study employed a case study design using phenomenological stances of qualitative research to collect data from three districts of Mbarara, Bushenyi and Kiruhura and the objective of the study was to find out how women’s entrance in formal employment has contributed to changes in marriage and gender roles. Drawing from 17 interviews (with women activists, community development officers, probation officers, grade II magistrates, Gender based organisation managers, political leaders, religious leaders, local leaders) and 5 FGDs (with household heads, women in formal and informal employment), findings revealed that, women’s employment leads to a shift in marriage. The findings further reveal that women’s employment increases women’s conflicting roles (the tripartite roles). The study concluded that, women’s employment is significantly related to marriage and gender roles, increasing numbers of women in formal and informal employment has led to delays in marriage, child birth and increases in conflicting roles for women. Thus the study recommended that gender-responsive social protection systems should be adopted by all places of work, encourage and support institutions and all places of work to put provisions for day care centres and increase on maternity leave days.

Asman Bateyo, Prof. Emuron Lydia, Dr. Benard Nuwatuhaire- December 2021- Page No.: 336-340
This study aimed at establishing the relationship between reframing and organisational effectiveness with a sample size of 224 respondents. The study used a pragmatic philosophy, mixed methods approach using cross sectional and correlation designs for quantitative and phenomenological design for qualitative approaches. Data were collected using non-standardised instruments and in-depth interviews. The parametric tests were performed and all passed the linearity requirements. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson Linear Correlation Coefficient, regression analysis and thematic content analysis. The findings revealed that there is a positive and significant relationship between reframing and organisational effectiveness It was concluded that reframing if well applied can lead to improved organisational effectiveness in the Igara Growers Tea Factory Bushenyi district in Uganda. Thus, the study recommended that the factory should maintain active mobilisation for change, have a strategic vision and create performance management systems.

Data analysis was carried out at univariate, bivariate level and multivariate levels. Univariate analysis involved descriptive statistics that were frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviations. Bivariate and multivariate analyses involved correlation and regression analyses respectively. Descriptive results revealed that retention of health workers (mean = 3.99) was good, the financial rewards of salaries/ wages (mean = 2.84) were fair but allowances (mean = 1.87) were poor. Financial rewards of salaries/ wages programmes (β = 0.341, p = 0.000 < 0.05) had a positive and significant influence on retention of health workers but allowances (β = 129, p = 0.132 > 0.05) had a positive but insignificant influence on retention of health workers. It was concluded that salary/ wages programmes are imperative financial rewards for retention of health workers than allowances. Therefore, it was recommended that the government of Uganda should offer health workers salaries and wages that attract their retention.

Effects of Covid-19 on 2020 KCSE Examination Performance in Sub-County Public Secondary Schools in Gatanga Sub-County, Murang’a County, Kenya
Karanja Joseph Ndung’u (PhD)- December 2021- Page No.: 352-359
The study sought to investigate the effects of Covid-19 pandemic on 2020 KCSE examination performance in Sub-county secondary schools in Gatanga Sub-county, Murang’a county. Specifically the study sought to establish the effects of Covid-19 pandemic on KCSE examination performance and to investigate the effects of Covid-19 pandemic on the university entry in Sub-county secondary schools. The study employed descriptive survey design with both qualitative and quantitative approaches targeting 38 school Principals, 2774 candidates, 8 Sub-County Directors of Education and 1 County director of Education from Murang’a County. From the findings it revealed that the majority (75.6%) of the students did not participate in online classes in preparation for KCSE examination, only (24.6%) participated. Learning mediated through Ed-Tech remains out of reach for many disadvantaged students therefore, was not effective in preparing learners for National examination. From 59.39 percent of the candidature who are in the sub-county secondary schools registered a negative deviation of 8.27 from previous KCSE mean standard score, an indicator that majority (76.32%) of the sub-county schools dropped in KCSE mean and only (23.68%) schools improved. This depicts that most of the students in the sub-county schools were really affected by Covid-19 pandemic, since they could not afford to purchase online classes gadget, where majority of the students who join sub-county secondary schools come from humble families, where financing education is a challenge. From the findings majority (94.084%) of the students scored grade C plain and below: Therefore, they did not qualify to join university for a degree program only (5.916%) qualified, in deed a very small percentage a clear indicator of the negative effects of Covid-19 pandemic on the university entry. The study concluded that the 2020 KCSE performance was negatively affected by Covid-19 pandemic and in most cases students from humble background; rural areas, marginalized and urban slum, who could not access online classes. Therefore, given the challenges presented by Coronavirus pandemic the future continuation of learning in the times of pandemics depend on Government implementation of online infrastructure by swiftly harness available technology and provide adequate infrastructure for the success of online teaching and learning, through the allocation of enough money for infrastructure across the country, stimulates alternative modes of delivery for example use of satellites, mobile phones, television, radio, computers and internet to reach vulnerable and marginalized students and more so train enough workforce in schools on ICT integration in teaching and learning.

Vowel Distribution and Neutralization in Lubukusu Verbs: A Positional Faithfulness Account
Henry Simiyu Nandelenga (Ph.D.) – December 2021- Page No.: 371-379
In a number of languages, prominent positions that are critical for word recognition and general language processing tend to tolerate more vowel contrasts and may resist neutralization than positions that are less prominent. Specifically, word initial, stressed and final syllables, roots, stems and long vowels, often resist alteration or neutralization. This is because these positions are psycholinguistically and phonetically privileged in lexical access, retrieval and processing. Vowels in such positions are faithful to their underlying form for contrast preservation, and as such, marked vowels may be allowed in such positions even when they are banned elsewhere. In this study, we examine verbal vowel distribution and neutralization in Lubukusu (Bantu, Kenya). The main objective was to assess the role of positional faithfulness constraints in militating against contrast neutralization in some position and not others. Data for the study was collected from four native speakers of Lubukusu who were purposefully sampled based on their native-speaker competence and intuition. The analysis followed Optimality Theory (Prince & Smolensky, 2004) conventions using universal constraints ranked in a language particular constraint hierarchy. The position-specific faithfulness constraints were ranked above general faithfulness and markedness constraints in the tableaux to protect vowels in privileged positions from being neutralized. From the findings, it is observed that positional faithfulness constraints favour the preservation of underlying lexical contrasts in prominent positions. In these positions, a large number of vowels (including marked ones) are allowed to facilitate the perception of contrast that is key in both lexical access and retrieval, besides enhancing general language processing. However, neutralization of vowel contrasts may result in the marked vowels being restricted to non-root initial positions. This is only possible in a constraint-based phonology that ranks positional faithfulness constraints higher than the markedness constraints that restricts the marked vowels. The findings reveal that all vowels freely occur in the privileged positions, however, the so called ‘marked’ vowels (mid [e] and [o]) are neutralized outside such positions.

Phonological Variations among Mandaya Dialects: A Multiple Case Study
Arnold M. Duping- December 2021- Page No.: 380-387
This multiple case study analyzes the phonological variation of Mandaya dialects among four municipalities in Davao Oriental. Purposeful sampling, in-depth interviews, sorting and classifying of words according to phonological structures in data analysis were employed. Findings revealed that the Mandaya dialects consisted of 23 segmental phonemes, 17 consonants: /b/, /k/, /d/, /g/, /h/, /l/, /l~l/, /m/, /n/, /Ƞ/, /p/, /r/, /s/, /t/, /w/, /y/ and /ɂ/; 6 vowels: /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/ including the schwa sound /Ə/. All these phonemes can be found in Tarragona, Manay and Caraga except for phoneme /h/. Similarly, Cateel has also 22 sounds with schwa sound not found. Consonant clusters were also evident in the medial position or in the beginning of the syllables such as the cluster /mp/ for the word /ompoɂ/ which means grandchild. Initial consonant clusters were also found mostly from the loan words such as the cluster /gr/ in /grin/ which means green. Generally, the phonological variations of the dialects among the four municipalities center to three distinct phonemes: /h/, /l~l/ and /Ə/. These variations were attributed to the influence brought by migration, intermarriages, social media, and the influx of tourist exploring the nature of Davao Oriental.

Misconceptions about the Concepts of Continuity and Continuity Equation by Physics Undergraduates in Teacher Capacity Development Program
E.Mudzamiri; T.Manyeredzi; N. Zezekwa- December 2021- Page No.: 388-393
This qualitative study inspired by Constructivist Theory ideas identified misconceptions held by 40 purposively selected Teacher Capacity Development Program part 1.2 physics undergraduate students concerning the concept of Continuity and the Continuity Equation. The study was conducted at a state university in Zimbabwe .The main argument being that, if learning is based on prior knowledge, then instructors must know the misconceptions held by their students so that they can provide learning environments for development of learners from their current understandings. Identification of the misconceptions was done through a Multiple-True- False diagnostic test. Analysis of the ethically collected data revealed twenty six misconceptions held by the students which instructors can target when teaching the two concepts. The researcher challenges future researches to identify the sources of the misconceptions and their categories.

Financial literacy of employees in managing financial crisis: A case study of indigenous banks in Ghana
Kofi Owiredu-Ghorman – December 2021- Page No.: 401-412
It is believed that employees who are more financially literate tend to make more reasonable predictions about their company’s investment and work hard to save their companies from collapsing. The study aims to evaluate the effect of employee financial literacy on the financial crisis of indigenous banks in Ghana. The study used five big traditional banks in Ghana. The researcher used a quantitative research approach and a multiple case study method. Structured questionnaire was used to solicit information from the employees of the selected banks. It was found that there is a positive and significant correlation between financial literacy and financial crises. The possibility of better financial literacy will lead to a decline in financial crises in the banking sector, such that financial literacy explains a decline in financial crises. Furthermore, employees have high levels of the knowledge acquisition dimension of financial literacy but low levels in the application dimension It is recommended that managers of banks focus on financial literacy training that centers on the application dimension of financial literacy. Training should emphasize calculation skills for interest rates, inflation, time value of money, and the stock market. It is suggested that bank management use all available means to ensure that the adoption and implementation of financial literacy strategies for their employees is prioritized.

Learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder: What Socio- Communication Difficulties Entail and the Recommended Research Based Intervention Strategies
Dalphine C. Ndiema, George Mathenge Wairungu (PhD). – December 2021- Page No.: 413-419
In the last three decades, there has been an unprecedented rate of increase in the prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in every 59 children in USA has ASD.
ASD is a dyad of disabilities with a major hall mark feature being socio-communication difficulties. The feature significantly affects interaction and lowers the quality of life of individuals with ASD. To address its implication, a multidisciplinary team approach is critical especially in this era of inclusive education. The main aim of this paper is to assemble and consolidate relevant literature on what Socio-communication difficulties entail as well as the appropriate research-based intervention strategies. This creates a one ‘stop shop’ source of reference for multidisciplinary team members who may not be experts in the field of Autism Speech Disorder. To achieve this, Google Scholar search engine was used to search for Articles and research findings from peer reviewed journals on the deficit and appropriate intervention strategies. Only articles that clearly addressed characteristics and intervention strategies were considered. The main electronic data sources used include Jstor, Eric digest and EBSCO. This study is a therefore a product of an extensive in-depth qualitative desk top research.
Challenges in socio-communication abilities are significantly associated with poor theory of mind as well as comorbidity in learners with ASD. The article summarizes the categories of comorbidity first, socio-communication difficulties and finally scans through contemporary research-based intervention strategies.

Factors Influencing Women and Youths Honey Producers into Honey Value Addition in Manicaland of Zimbabwe
Mwandifura John, Dr Chikazhe, Dr Mashavakure, N., Dr Manyeruke, Mharidzo Innocent, Zinyama M, Mudyahoto R- December 2021- Page No.: 420-429
The purpose of the study was to establish the effect of women and youth entrepreneurship on the sustainability of rural livelihood through honey and other products value addition. The aim of this paper is to determine factors that influence the honey value addition by women and youth entrepreneurs. The paper looked at some of the factors that affect women and youth entrepreneurship and suggested the ways these factors can be solved to enhance women and youth entrepreneurship.
The review paper established that youth and women entrepreneurship is mostly motivated by push and pull factors as well as driven by extrinsic and intrinsic factors for an individual. It was also established that women and youth entrepreneurs were affected mostly by social attitudes towards women and youth in business, access to credit, poor networking, expectations of women and youth and education level of women and youth when trying to sustain their livelihoods. These challenges are faced by youth and women. For the youth, human capital developed at early stage forms the base for future success in business and reduces the chances of unemployment at above the youth age. Youth and women Entrepreneurship is a driving force which helps to reduce poverty in rural areas and help to grow the economy of the country.
Youth and women are two different groups of entrepreneurs that have to be approached carefully and have different dynamics. Unemployment rate in Zimbabwe is at an alarming level among young people, while at the same time women are viewed as inferior in business community as compared to men entrepreneurs. Youth and women in Zimbabwe have similar problems to start and operate own business. The top problems are poor access to finance to start and grow the business, poor business management skills and lack of specialized support entrepreneurial programs. High level of corruption in Zimbabwe strengthens these problems and causes brain drain to other countries to start businesses in foreign land. Women and youth need a strong support from policy makers and government institutions in order to increase their entrepreneurial ability.

Awareness of Integrated Reporting in Ghana :A Case Study at Asante Akim Central Municipality
Job Boahen, Dr. Ephraim Awinbugri Armstrong- December 2021- Page No.: 430-436
The advocacy of the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) focuses on the adoption of integrated reporting (I.R.) to mitigate the apparent lapses of corporate social responsibility (C.S.R.) reports. In Ghana, MMDAs serve as development agents, and comprehensive financial and integrated reporting is critical for stakeholders’ trust and investors’ willingness to engage in the Assembly.
The research used a quantitative research design, with 100 respondents out of a total population of 250 receiving questionnaires. Using the Statistical Product and Service Solutions, the researcher used descriptive statistics to analyse the data (SPSS, 22.0).
The findings show that even though there is 85% awareness of integrated reporting and its apparent benefits, the Assembly is yet to fully adopt I.R. in its reporting process. The study thus recommended full adoption of I.R. by the Assembly as a means of adherence to the assurance standards ISAE3000 and AA1000AS and enhanced public confidence in its reporting process, leading to attraction of investors therein.
The research concluded that there was a high level of awareness of integrated reporting at Asante Akim Central Municipality

Awareness of Human Resource Accounting in Ghana: Evidence from Tertiary Students
Philip Opoku – December 2021- Page No.: 437-441
This paper focused on the awareness of Human Resource Accounting among Tertiary students in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. Quantitative research approach was used in the study. The study used convenient sampling technique to select 20 Tertiary Institution among the 37 topnotch and highly rated tertiary institutions in Ghana and distributed self-contracted questionnaire among 300 students from the sampled Tertiary Institutions, out of which 200 were retrieved, only 180 was valid for further analysis. Inferential statistics were used to analyze the data through Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS, 20.0) software. Results showed that there is 83% level of awareness of Human Resource Accounting among tertiary students in the greater Accra Region of Ghana. The findings implies that even though there is an awareness among tertiary students, the understanding on Human resource accounting is limited. Judging from the findings the researcher recommends that Human Resource Accounting should be encapsulated into the courses of studies for Commerce, Management studies and other Finance related programs at the various tertiary institution.

Chaplaincy as Ministry of Presence: A Case Study for Learners at Ikhwezi Lomso Comprehensive School
Bulelani Bomela – December 2021- Page No.: 442-447
Most public schools in South Africa do not have in their organogram, chaplains to serve the mental, physical, spiritual and emotional needs of learners in public schools. Ikhwezi Lomso Comprehensive School is no exception as it falls under government administered (public) schools. Through an interaction with learners, I have discovered that learners at Ikhwezi Lomso Comprehensive School battle with issues which challenge their mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional capabilities. As a result of this, incidences, such as sexual activities, bullying, self-esteem issues and misuse of narcotic drugs and alcoholic beverages, which affect and disrupt their learning continue to be witnessed resulting in unwanted pregnancies, abortions, Sexually Transmitted infections, abuse of drugs and drinking, and unacceptable general behaviour due to lack of discipline. The study seeks to introduce a ministry of presence in the form of chaplaincy, which will work hand in hand with educators in dealing with behavioural challenges and thereby benefiting parents whose time is occupied by work and other challenges.

Child Response Styles to Parenting
Joyzy Pius Egunjobi, Ph.D., Dr.AD.- December 2021- Page No.: 448-454
There seem to be overt attention on parenting and numerous studies on the effects of parenting on child’s behaviors and performances. While a parenting style affects a child’s biopsychosociotechno-spiritual development, the child’s response to the parenting also matters. This is an area which seems to have been neglected by many researchers. Egunjobi (2021) thus proposed four child response styles to parenting namely: Adherer, Rejecter, Falser, and Nonchalant. This study is an attempt to substantiate Egunjobi’s proposition about child’s response styles to parenting. A survey design was employed to investigate the child response styles. The study targeted infinite population of anyone aged 11 and older. Through voluntary sampling, 276 persons responded to the online questionnaire administered via WhatsApp, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The data was descriptively analyzed using Percentages and were presented in Tables and Pie Charts. The findings revealed that the respondents identified as Adherers (65.5%), Rejecters (4.8%), Falser (17.2%), and Nonchalant (12.5%). Nonchalant is 100% a child response style to an uninvolved parenting. Although 96.9% indicated being well raised/trained, more than half (50.7%) of the respondents indicated that they would not raise their children the way they were raised. This is an indication that, although parenting styles have influence on the child upbringing, children may exhibit unique ways of responding to the parenting. Researchers are encouraged to do more investigations in this area of child response styles for better understanding of a child’s behaviors.

Fostering the professional capital of teachers in digital capabilities
Valeria Pandolfini- December 2021- Page No.: 455-461
The article focuses on teacher professionalism, taking into account the challenges related to the growing digitizing of teaching and learning processes and educational environments, especially in light of the great challenges posed by COVID-19 in the educational sector. First, the article proposes an evaluative framework based on the Capability Approach to investigate the complex links between education and technologies, and the impacts on teachers’ collaborative work. Second, the notion of teachers’ professional capital is contextualized in the digital era, and the impact of the diffusion of digital technologies on teachers’ collaborative practices is examined. Then, some policy recommendations are provided, focusing on teachers’ training programs and the implications of adopting the Capability Approach to tackle such issues. The questions arising refer to the types of capital that have to be developed in the teaching profession, which are linked to the diffusion of digital media in the educational sector, and the means for fostering teachers’ capability development.

Asian-Led Civil Societies Domiciled in Nairobi City and the Struggle for political and Constitutional Reforms in Post-independent Kenya
Dr. Charles Kinanga Moywaywa, Mr. Edwin Omari Nyagaka- December 2021- Page No.: 462-466
This paper examines the contributions of Asian led-civil societies domiciled in Nairobi city in the struggle for political and constitutional reforms in Kenya in the post-independence period. This paper is anchored on a liberal democratic theoretical perspective. Liberal democracy as advanced by John Locke, argues that the natural law guarantees every individual right to life, liberty and protection of private property. Thus this paper uses this approach to demonstrate that Asians used civil societies in Nairobi city to champion for the protection of their natural rights and that of the other Kenyans. The key objectives of the paper are to: conceptualize and trace the historiography of civil societies in the context of Kenya, secondly, to interrogate the contributions of the Asian-led civil societies domiciled in Nairobi city in the agitation for political and constitutional reforms in post-independent Kenya and finally, to examine the role of Nairobi Asian luminaries in agitation for electoral reforms between 1997 and 2017. This paper adopts a descriptive survey design and utilizes both primary and secondary data. Similarly, the paper utilizes both stratified and purposive sampling techniques to identify research informants. This paper reveals that the Asian luminaries used civil societies to champion for political reforms and constitutional review process in Kenya, especially in the 1990s. Further, these Asian-led civil societies acted as the vehicles for litigation of public interest cases with the major aim of promoting the rule of law, democracy and good governance.

Appraisal of the Federal Polytechnics (Amendment) Act, 2019 in Nigeria: Issues and Options for Stronger Polytechnics Education in Nigeria
Dr. Onwudinjo Louis Ejike, Adama Jane, Arc. Ilo Winnie Nneka- December 2021- Page No.: 467-471
The mandate of polytechnic education all over the world is to produce middle and high level manpower in technology, and applied sciences to engender development. The purpose is to produce more technically trained graduates. A new Federal Polytechnics (Amendment) Acts 2019 came into being in Nigeria on May 20th 2019. The Act amended the Federal Polytechnics Act Cap F17, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004. Some of the innovations brought about by the new law include introduction of high level manpower into the mandates of Polytechnic education in Nigeria, inclusion of the Deans and Directors to the Management Committee of the Polytechnics and the mandates that they should be meeting every month, abolishment of second tenure for the Principal Officers of the Polytechnics, the mandates that only Chief Lecturers from the Polytechnic sector can be appointed the Rector, harmonization of the 65 years as the compulsory retirement age for both Academic and Non-Academic staff of the Polytechnics in Nigeria amongst others, while the observed limitations include the discrimination against the State and Private Polytechnics in Nigeria, that only one Non-Academic staff included in the composition of the Governing Council, that the Registrar of the Polytechnics in Nigeria is no longer by the Law a member of the Governing Council and Academic Board,the exclusion of the representatives of the regulatory body, the NBTE from the composition of the Governing Council, the new Act did not streamline the Powers, functions and relationships between the Governing Council and Management of the Polytechnics in Nigeria, the Act only provides for the qualifications of the Rector and did not stipulates the qualifications for other principal officers, that Director of Works of the Polytechnics excluded from the principal officers of the polytechnics. Some recommendations were proffered which include amongst others that the regulatory body of the Polytechnics in Nigeria, NBTE should liaise with the Federal Ministry of Education and send directives to the 36 State Commissioners of Education in Nigeria compelling them to initiate and forward bills to their respective Houses of Assembly for the domestication of the Federal Polytechnic (Amendment) Act, 2019 to all the State Government owned and private Polytechnics, in Nigeria.

Effects of Logotherapy and Cognitive-attribution Therapy on the Academic Adjustment of Undergraduate Repeaters in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife
Adeola Shobola (Ph.D) – December 2021- Page No.: 472-478
This study ascertained the effects of Logotherapy (LT) and Cognitive-Attribution Therapy (CAT) on the academic adjustment of undergraduate repeaters in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria using experimental research design. From a population comprising all repeating undergraduate students of the university, a sample of 60 undergraduate repeaters was selected across three faculties using purposive, snowball and simple random sampling techniques. An instrument titled Academic Adjustment of Undergraduate Repeaters Questionnaire (AAURQ) was used to collect data andit was analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA)and post-hoc (Scheffe) test. The results showed a significant difference between the pretest and posttest levels of academic adjustment of the undergraduate repeaters (t = 2.04; p = 0.046 < 0.05), there was a significant effect of Logotherapy on the academic adjustment of the students (F (1, 37) = 8.87; p = 0.005 <0.05]; also a significant effect of cognitive-attribution therapy on the academic adjustment of the students [F (1, 37) = 26.8; p = 0.000 < 0.05] respectively. However, cognitive-attributive therapy (p = 0.000; p < 0.05) improved the participants’ academic adjustment more significantly than Logotherapy (p = 0.08; p > 0.05). The study therefore concluded that cognitive-attribution therapy could be employed in improving academic adjustment of repeating undergraduate students.

A Legal Case on Bid Rigging of Electronic Identity Card Procurement in Indonesia
Eny Budi Sri Haryani, Anna Maria Tri Anggraini – December 2021- Page No.: 479-484
The prohibition of bid rigging is regulated in the Competition Law, which is in accordance with Article 22 of Law No. 5 Year 1999 of Indonesia concerning the Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition. Whereas the elements of bid rigging include: (1) elements of business actors; (2) elements ofconspiring; (3) elements of other parties; (4) elements of regulating and or determining the winner of the tender; (5) elements of unfair business competition. Because it is stated as a rule of reason behavior, the legal case of bid rigging requires legal proof before it is declared that a violation has occurred. The conspiracy to procure electronic identity card (e-IDCard), which is the object of this research, occurred at the Ministry of Home Affairs of Indonesia, in 2011-2012 Fiscal Year. The type of research is normative and descriptive, with qualitative analysis using secondary data and drawing conclusions deductively. HowBusiness Competition Supervisory Commission (BCSC) of The Republic Indonesia proves that elements of bid rigging are fulfilled is the main problem of this research. That according to the BCSC’s decision No. 03/KPPU-L/2012 horizontal and vertical conspiracy occurred, namely horizontally between Reported Party II (PNRI Consortium) and Reported Party III (Astragraphia Consortium), vertically occurred between Reported Party I (Tender Committee) and Reported Party II (PNRI Consortium), with sanctions in the form of money fine. However, the results of this study stated that the BCSC’s decision was not correct legally or wrong decision.

Terrorism and Nigeria’s National Development
Ezeadilieje, Ella Chioma, Wonah, Emmanuel- December 2021- Page No.: 485-491
This paper examined the impact of terrorism on the national development of Nigeria. This thrust became necessary following the spate of losses in both human and material resources, in the wake of increase in terrorist activities in Nigeria. Using the Marxist political economy approach, the paper contends that terrorism emerged from Nigeria’s national development process. From this perspective, it could be understood as evidence of the failure of national development. Data for the study were gathered through secondary sources, while analysis was done qualitatively. The paper recommended, among other things, that the best way to curb terrorism in Nigeria is through aggressive pursuit of all-inclusive national development.

Freire’s Conception of Critical Consciousness on Mitigating Teenage Pregnancy
John Kibwage Nyangaresi – December 2021- Page No.: 492-495
The role of critical consciousness is to impart proactive skills paramount for mitigating teenage pregnancy. The article is anchored on a philosophical approach which puts more emphasis on rational being, based on logical reasoning or rational reasoning and abstract approach at the expense of empirical perspective and standpoints. This article therefore examines the need of Freire’s conception of critical consciousness on mitigating teenage pregnancy in schools. The article appeals to the implications of Paulo Freire’s components of critical reflection, political efficacy and critical action in addressing the issue of teenage pregnancy. The article used critical Method of Philosophical consultancy. The study clearly stands out that if teenage pregnancy is to be addressed effectively, then educators must integrate Freire’s critical consciousness and its pillars systematically in the curriculum. Also, the article filtrates out the key stakeholders who can collectively work together to address the issue of teenage pregnancy at large.

The Dynamics in the Practice of Bukusu Circumcision Ritual Inkenya; Impact of the Inter-Christian Fellowships Evangelical Mission, 1988-2012
Godfrey Banda Mayende – December 2021- Page No.: 496-521
This paper is an extract from a Master of Arts Degree Thesis that was presented to Graduate School of Kenyatta University-Kenya in April 2017. The study interrogated the Impact of the Inter-Christian Fellowship Evangelical Mission (IcFEM) on circumcision rituals among the Bukusu community of Kimilili constituency, Bungoma County in the former province of Western Kenya. In this paper however, our contention is to examine one of the objectives addressed in the above mentioned study; the Impact of the Inter-Christian Fellowships Evangelical Mission on circumcision rituals among the Bukusu community of Kimilili Sub-county. Significant to the our findings is the fact that Bukusu circumcision ritual played a wide spectrum of infinite socio-political and economic role in the society and as such, our contention was to demonstrate how status quo was altered upon the inception of new concepts that were not familiar with the traditional setup of the Babukusu. It should be observed that the corroboration of both primary and secondary data was very significant in conducting the field research whose findings were fruitful for the development of this paper. It is indeed true that the target population in the research that preceded this paper was selected using purposive sampling and majority of this population was from the local community within Kimilili Constituency comprising the Bukusu people. Oral Interview (abbreviated as O.I in the entire text) was a key research instrument that was successfully administered to generate substantive findings (Refer to the list of the informants provided in the references section). That aside, significant information was also gathered from the Kenya National Archives (abbreviated as KNA) to enrich the findings of this research.

Impact of Interest Rate Deregulation on Gross Domestic Savings in Nigeria
Mathias A. Chuba- December 2021- Page No.: 522-528
Nigeria embarked on interest rate deregulation in August, 1987 in order to increase gross domestic savings through an increase in interest rate. The results of previous studies with respect to the impact of interest rate deregulation on gross domestic savings in Nigeria are mixed. This paper argues that interest rate deregulation does not have positive impact on gross domestic savings in Nigeria because savings depends on income rather than interest rate. The main objective of this paper is to determine the impact of interest rate deregulation on gross domestic savings in Nigeria from 1970-2019 using a dummy variable regression technique. The result of the investigation indicates that interest rate deregulation has an insignificant negative impact on gross domestic savings in Nigeria. The gross domestic product has a significant positive relationship with gross domestic savings in Nigeria. The Keynesian proposition that savings are mainly determined by income rather than interest rate is applicable in Nigeria. The classical theory of interest rate and the theory of high interest rate policy that was popularized by McKinnon (1973) and Shaw (1973) are not applicable in Nigeria. The target of economic policy should be gross domestic product and not interest rate because naturally gross domestic saving will increase if gross domestic product increases in Nigeria.

Community Structure and Distribution of the Ordo Anura in the Unmul Samarinda botanical Gardens (KRUS), Samarinda City, East Kalimantan
Lariman- December 2021- Page No.: 529-534
Unmul Samarinda Botanical Gardens is a forest that grows naturally, along with population growth and the development of the city of Samarinda, the Unmul Samarinda Botanical Gardens (KRUS) is in the middle of the city. The Unmul Samarinda Botanical Garden is expected to function as an educational forest that supports science. Since 2001, Mulawarman University together with the Samarinda City government have developed a nature recreation/ecotourism function. In KRUS Forest, apart from high-level vegetation, shrubs, low-level vegetation and mosses are also found. Wild animals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and other aquatic animals also still exist in this area. This study aims to determine the diversity, evenness and dominance of the order anura. The method used in collecting data on the diversity of the Anura order is the Visual Encounter Survey (VES). For sample identification and data processing, it is carried out at the Laboratory of Animal Ecology and Systematics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Mulawaman University, Samarinda. Research results show that the composition of the order Anura in the Unmul Samarinda Botanical Gardens (KRUS) consists of 18 species, 6 families and 108 individuals. Species with the highest number of individuals were Limnonectes paramacrodon and Pulchranapicturata. The index of species diversity of the order Anura is moderate with a value of 2.26, the index of evenness is relatively even with a value of 0.79 and the dominance index indicates that there is no dominant species with a value of 0.17. There are several factors that pose a threat to the species of the Anura order in the Educational forest of the Unmul Samarinda Botanical Gardens (KRUS), such as tourism activities and coal mining which makes the forest fragmented.

Motivation for Entrepreneurial Engagement among Youths in Ogun State: Push and Pull Factors Analysis
JIMOH, Tajudeen Adisa, ADEBAYO, Adewale Bashir- December 2021- Page No.: 534-540
This study was carried out to determine the factors responsible for the motivation of youths into entrepreneurship. It assessed the motivational impact of push and pull factors on the youths’ entrepreneurial engagement. The study was carried out in Ogun State and the population comprised all youth entrepreneurs in the State. It is an ex post factor in design but employed survey approach with the use of questionnaire for data collection. A cross-sectional survey of 300 youth entrepreneurs from the three senatorial districts of the state was done in which 100 youth entrepreneurs were randomly selected from each of Ogun West, Ogun East and Ogun Central Districts. Descriptive and inferential analysis of data collected revealed higher relative contribution of push factors to the entrepreneurship engagement of the youths than the pull factors. This informed the conclusion that entrepreneurship engagement of the youths was largely stimulated by negative economic situations and compelling factors such as unemployment, job insecurity, economic hardship, poor conditions of available jobs, etc. Among others, it was recommended that governments and stakeholders in national economic building and development should put mechanisms in place towards providing support, enablement and appealing conditions capable of igniting youths’ passion for entrepreneurship as desirable alternative for their economic engagement and productive living.

Level of Water Governance in Schools and its Effect on Student Participation in Education
Wambeye K.M, Wasike, D.W, Obino, P.O – December 2021- Page No.: 541-549
Adequate access to water, hygiene and sanitation is every human’s and child’s right. These do not reflect national policies aspirations and are not adequate to student’s needs, affecting their health, well-being, performance and participation at school in Kenya. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted to sample from boarding schools that were sampled to take part in a study conducted in Bungoma County in the Western region of Kenya.Stratified sampling was employed in choosing the Schools while questionnaires, interview schedules, document analysis and focus groups were used to gather data. The model was not able to significantly predict the level of water governance in schools and its effect on student participation in education and hence concluded that every boarding secondary school should develop a drinking water access plan. This study provides an empirical pattern of participation in education influenced by WASH in schools.

Instrumental Performance of Female Students at Atwima Nwabiagya District
Peter Opoku Ware (Rev. Father), Dr. Peter Obeng – December 2021- Page No.: 550-576
This study sought to explore the level of instrumental skills and setbacks female student’s in Atwima Nwabiagya experience in playing drums and other musical instruments. The study adopted a case study methodology and a purposive sampling technique was employed to select three Junior High Schools in the district. In each of the schools, five participants from each school were selected for the study also purposively. The research was based on data collected from 15 female students. The main instruments used for the study were observation and interview. The study revealed the following findings: teachers normally exempt females from drumming, but instead encourage them to dance because of their flexibility in nature, gender stereotyping of certain cultures affects their choices of certain musical instruments. Parent’s preventing girls from handling musical instruments due to their religious beliefs and other customs in their communities. The results indicated how important it is for teachers to develop the will (i.e. self-efficacy) and the skill(i.e. competence) to teach music and dance if they are to develop music competencies needed to provide adequate music opportunities for their future students (Males and Females). Teachers are encouraged not to exempt females from drumming. As a way forward, I suggest that women should form cultural groups/troupes where they take full responsibility from the playing of the master drum adowa dance up to the singing to encourage others to follow suit like the women Mmɛnson cultural troupe at Cape Coast.

Evaluation of Institutional Arrangements for Sustainable Forest Resources Management in Edo State, Nigeria
David E. Eighemhenrio- December 2021- Page No.: 577-583
The unending decrease of the world’s forest resources has become a great global debate. Ineffective forest resources management strategies have often be blamed for the uncontrolled rate of forest resources harvests. Institutions, the fourth factor of production in the economy, matters so much, because of cost – benefit effects. Forestry in developing countries often suffer from poor supply of institutions and so not only becomes less competitive than that of developed countries, but also less well managed than other sectors in the same countries. These underscore this research; evaluation of institutional arrangements for sustainable forest resources management in Edo State. The research aims to evaluate the performance of the state’s legal framework and give recommendations for ensuring sustainable forest resources management. The data for the study were captured through questionnaire administration, Focus group discussions, interview schedules, oral testimony field observation and institutional decomposition. A total of 50 senior staff of the ministry of Agriculture and the department of Forestry were interviewed. Results from the studies shows that there are 48 governments forest reserves totaling 439,139.02 hectares. The government manages forests through legal frameworks. It was discovered that the richness in terms of biodiversity of the forests was on the decline, trees spacing becoming wider, timber harvests were continuous and the whole essence of government management, is revenue driven. The paper recommends that both the government and the local people should diversify their sources of income to reduce dependence on forest resources, establishment of forests management committees embracing all the forest stakeholders, sharing the proceeds from forests among the stakeholders, as these will ensure sustainable forest resources management in the state.

Virginity Testing in Zimbabwe: Preserving Cultural Moral Values or a Violation of Women’s Rights?
S. Mhembwe, M. Chanhuwa- December 2021- Page No.: 584-592
Virginity testing of young women has been one of the most controversial and sensitive subjects in Zimbabwe. On one hand, proponents of African cultural practices view virginity testing as a stop gap measure to preserve societal moral and cultural values especially for teenage girls, whilst on the other hand exponents are of the view that the practice is a wanton violation of women’s and children’s rights. The aim of this paper was to examine the general perception with regards to the practice of virginity testing of teenage girls. To achieve this, data were gathered from existing sources of literature using the secondary data analysis. The findings of the study revealed that virginity testing has been practised over the years in Zimbabwe as societies claimed that it preserves their identity and culture, and that it is also a strategy of combating the spread of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Furthermore, the study established that the practice is heavily criticised by the civil society organisations who argued that it violates girls and young women’s rights and deprives them of the power and control over their bodies and sexuality. Thus, the study recommends traditional institutions to follow the laws of the land and protect the rights of young women and girls from abuse by families, religious and ethnic groups.

Owigho, Ogheneovo, Eromedoghene Ezekiel Ovoh – December 2021- Page No.: 602-606
This study investigated farmers’ perceptions of effect of open-grazing on food production in Isoko North and South Local Government Areas of Delta State. It was necessitated by persistent shortage and rising prices of food stuff in Isoko North and South Local Government Areas of Delta State. The shortage of food could be partially from Fulani-herdsmen and farmers clashes which have contributed to the loss of lives and properties, crop destruction and abandonment of farm settlement. The research objectives of the study were to determine farmers’ perceptions of effect of open-grazing on food production in Isoko North and South Local Government Areas of Delta State and examine the strategies to tackle the problems of open-grazing on food production in Isoko North and South Local Government Areas of Delta State. Survey research design was employed for the study. The instrument for data collection was questionnaire administered to 123 farmers drawn using purposive sampling technique. Data collected were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. The results of study revealed among others that the farmers perceived the effect of open-grazing on food production to include: destruction of crops in the farmland by cattle, increase in soil erosion that adversely affect crops in the farmland, shortage of food due to low harvest of farm products, high cost of food items and decrease of soil organic matter that adversely affect crop production. It was concluded that open-grazing is destructive and have far reaching consequences on crop production in Isoko North and South Local Government Areas of Delta State in Nigeria. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that Federal Government of Nigeria should establish modern cattle ranches in each state and lease to herdsmen for rearing their cattle

The Portrayal of Ananse as a Deceptive Character In ‘Anansesem’: Evidence from Yaw Asare’s Ananse in the Land of Idiots
Evans Asante, Maxwell Mpotsiah- December 2021- Page No.: 607-616
UThis paper focused on deception, which has been identified as one of the attributes of Ananse, the Spider in all contexts of Ghanaian folklore. The paper is an analytical discourse which derives its source of reference from Yaw Asare’s Ananse in the land of idiotsa play based on the Ghanaian story telling tradition. The analysis of deception is rooted on Buller & Burgoon’s (1996) Interpersonal Deception Theory. In the final analysis, the paper concluded that Ananse exhibited various forms of deceptive postures in all his dealings and engagements at different levels. Ananse as a character is also portrayed as epitome of man in the Ghanaian social context.

Residents’ Perception of Radio Coverage of Kidnappings in Selected Towns of Akoko North-West Local Government, Ondo State, Nigeria
Raphael Olugbenga ABIMBOLA, Ph.D, Mary Folayemi ADEBOYE- December 2021- Page No.: 617-627
This study examinee residents’ perception of radio coverage of kidnappings of residents of selected towns of Akoko North-West Local Government, Ondo State, Nigeria, by bandits who are mainly herders, through the stations’ news bulletins and other programmes. Two stations operating in the state: Sunshine F.M 96.5 Alalaye, a government owned station and Adaba 88.9 FM, privately owned station were used. It adopts survey method, using questionnaire and interview guide as instruments to collect data from a sample of 255 respondents’ resident in the sleepy towns of Arigidi, Erusu, Ibaram, Ikaram, and Ajowa in the local government area. Findings revealed that respondents are, to a large extent, exposed to Sunshine F.M 9.5 Alalaye and Adaba 88.9 F. M’s news bulletins and programmes. Respondents perceive the two stations’ reportage on kidnapping as adequate but emphasise the need for a much wider network of information and government intervention in the security network of the affected areas. The study recommends that reportage of news and other programme contents that are kidnapping related should be presented in a manner to shed light on the achievement of government and its agencies towards ending the insecurity as well as sensitizing the citizens on protective and preventive measures. It also asks government to deploy a combined team of security agencies including the army, the police, the stae security network code named Amotekun and local villangte personnel

Senior High School Students’ Perceptions and Practices of Citizenship
Rolando C. Portezo, Jr., Ronaldo SP. Elicay, Ph.D. – December 2021- Page No.: 628-644
This study was conducted to examine the citizenship status among senior high school (SHS) students. It identified and described students’ perceptions and practices of citizenship; its underlying components manifested in perceptions and practices, and the predominant type of citizenship. Furthermore, the predictors of the predominant type of citizenship through their socio-demographic characteristics were determined as well. It made use of a quantitative predictive correlation to achieve the objectives of the study. Four hundred eleven (411) Grade 11 students of Ateneo de Naga University SHS from the different strands of the first semester in SY 2020-2021 responded to the 57-item online survey. Results showed that students’ top citizenship perceptions were rights, a set of responsibilities, commitment for the good of others, taking pride in the country’s traditions and culture, and a sense of belongingness. In contrast, the top citizenship practices included helping others, taking care of the environment, observance of rules and regulations, treating people equally, and voting every election. The three underlying components of citizenship perceptions were rights and responsibilities, relationship connections, and legal features, while citizenship practices were manifested by active engagement, institutional participation, and cultural concerns. Committed citizenship was the predominant type among them but no socio-demographic factors were significant to determine their predominant type of citizenship. In general, the study recommended that the Department of Education should design attainable programs of citizenship education. Also, the Junior High School (JHS) teachers should regularly review and revisit their syllabus, textbook, and teaching strategies to strengthen citizenship. In addition, Senior High School teachers (SHS) should reinforce citizenship participation in programs and activities initiated in the JHS driven by the advocacy for active engagement, social and civic responsibilities. Future researchers should use the data using a qualitative approach to validate results. They should also consider other socio-demographic factors like membership in organization/s, participation in competitions, socio-economic status, and location (urban or rural) to understand how these factors influence students’ predominant type of citizenship.

Evaluation of Farmers’ Exposure to CBN COVID -19 Agricultural Loan Information for Food Security in Otuoke, Bayelsa State
Gideon Uchechukwu Nwafor PhD, Blessing Onyinyechukwu Umunnah – December 2021- Page No.: 645-652
Access to agricultural information and its dissemination among large scale farmers are critical to ensuring food security and adequacy, particularly in Nigeria being the most populous African country and the poverty headquarters of the world according to a United Nations ranking. The novel coronavirus outbreak in 2019 has likely aggravated the consequences of insufficient food availability and circulation in Nigeria, resulting in food shortages and a decline in agricultural product production. To this end, the Nigerian government through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) inaugurated the COVID-19 relief fund loan aimed at ameliorating the financial difficulties faced by large scale and prospective farmers in carrying out their farming business. Farmers in Otuoke, Bayelsa state, were used as respondents in this study to assess farmers’ access to and dissemination of CBN COVID-19 relief fund agricultural loan information. The major objectives are to ascertain farmers’ level of awareness of the CBN COVID-19 relief fund agricultural loan and their major channel of receiving the information as well as determining how their level of access to the loan information was significant in obtaining or not obtaining the loan. Based on Knowledge Gap Theory of Communication, the study adopted the survey research design in conducting the research with a sample size of 400 drawn using Taro Yamane’s formula. Findings revealed that farmers in Otuoke, Bayelsa state are exposed to the CBN COVID-19 agricultural loan information resulting in a high awareness level among farmers and their major channels of receiving information were seminars, workshops and interpersonal communication. However, it was discovered that the majority of the farmers could not obtain the loan because of their inability to comprehend the information on how to apply for it online thereby hampering the objectives of the government initiative to address food security in the area. The study recommends that, that the government domesticates the process of addressing food security through loans and other intervention funding so that local farmers can benefit from it and alleviate poverty

Self-Directed Learning: It’s Role in Learning and Implication for Instruction
Emmanuel N. Ogu, O.P., PhD- December 2021- Page No.: 652-655
This paper intends to enlighten educators of adults about some essential elements of self-directed learning and the role of a facilitator. It aims at stimulating thoughts and questions about adult learning. Knowing how adults learn is crucial to educators in facilitating adult learning. The application of strategies for self-directed learning allow adult learners to advance their studies while fulfilling family, work and other commitments (Khiat, H 2015). Developing qualitative processes and programs can enhance self-directed learning. They can provide a conducive learning environment that promotes student growth and facilitates proficiency and professionalism. By developing qualities built around adult appropriate methodologies, teachers can help to enhance student cognition.

Choosing Physics as a Specialization in Graduate Studies: Views and Factors Affecting It
Mae Anne R. Migue – December 2021- Page No.: 656-663
Physics is one of the complex science subject and students taking tertiary science education courses do not choose physics as their specialization. The Philippine Normal University was also experiencing the same, only few graduate students choose the said subject as a specialization. With this, the researcher seeks to find out the views and factors affecting the situation. The data shows that the p-value calculated for the negative views towards Physics as well as factors affecting it is less than (<) the α which is 0.05. Thus, the negative views towards Physics and the factors affecting it has significant relationship with the decision of choosing Physics as a major.

Logical Framework, Project Environment Enablers and Sustainability of Caritas Projects in Meru County, Kenya
Julius Kaburu Agostino, Professor Dorothy Ndunge Kyalo PhD, Dr Angelina Sabina Mulwa PhD – December 2021- Page No.: 664-678
The purpose of the study was to establish the influence of utilization of logical framework as monitoring and evaluation tool on sustainability of community agricultural projects supported by Caritas in Meru County, Kenya with project environment enablers as a moderating effect. A pragmatic research paradigm and a descriptive survey research design were adopted. The target population was 59 smallholder farmer groups and 24 Caritas Meru staff. The sample size was 51 smallholder farmer groups andthe total sample size was 177 respondents comprising 153 group leaders and 24 project officers.The data collection tools were questionnaire and an interview guide. The collected data were coded and entered into the SPSS 5th edition for analysis. The qualitative data was analyzed by way of grouping similar responses together and identifying the main themes from them. The multiple linear regression models were used to determine the link between dependent and independent variables. The study found out that utilization of Logical Framework (R^(2 )=0.438 t=32.892 P=0.000˂0.05) had a statistically significant influence on the sustainability of community agricultural projects supported by Caritas in Meru County, Kenya. The findings revealed that there was a positive correlation r=0.256 between the project environment enablers and the sustainability of community agricultural projects.The study found out that the relationship between utilization of logical framework and sustainability of community agricultural projects supported by Caritas in Meru County, Kenya depended on the project environment enablers. The researcher recommends that organizations dealing with the community project should utilize logical framework as monitoring and evaluation tool, factor in project environment enablers in project plan, and involve critical stakeholders. They should also train farmer groups’ leaders on leadership and management skills, train farmers on utilisation of information communication technology such as use of internet. They should train farmers on record keeping and conflict management practices to avoid collapse of groups.The researcher suggests that a similar study be undertaken to find out the influence of other monitoring and evaluation tools on sustainability of community projects. A comparable study including other non-governmental organizations working on community agricultural projects is advised.

E-waste related heavy metals in Harare, Zimbabwe, a pending environmental and public health disaster
Mandevere, B. PhD, Wiechers, H. PhD – December 2021- Page No.: 688-697
The objective of the study was to examine the presence of e-waste related heavy metals in soil and water around Harare and to review the management strategies of electronic waste in Harare, Zimbabwe. Interviews, observations and laboratory tests were employed to harness data. Secondary datafrom previous literature and other records were also consulted. Findings revealed that heavy metals related to electronic waste were fast becoming a threat to Harare. The management of e-waste in general is not proper as e-waste is disposed on dumpsites commingled with general waste as in open dumps along roadsides in the residential areas. The authorities have no mechanism or law in place to handle e-waste and informal recyclers have taken advantage of this, but are exposed to a number of health problems. There is need to come up with a sustainable e-waste management strategy by the Environmental Management authorities as well as legislation that clearly focuses on this technology driven type of waste which seems dormant but can erupt anytime to the detriment of the environment and public health.

Simple random sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 389 secondary students and 59 teacher while saturated sampling technique was used for31 principals, 10 Quality Assurance and Standards Officers and 10 community leaders. The study found out that students in secondary school participate in various informal cross border trade activities that were categorized as: transport operations, retail trade, industrial related activities, service provision activities and worst forms of informal cross border trade. The study established that involvement in informal cross border trade affected students’ attendance, punctuality, discipline and retention which in turn affect their academic achievement due to lack concentration and commitment in their studies.

Exploring the Nexus between Corruption and all share index of Nigeria Capital Market
Onyekachi Chibueze Onuoha, Nonso John Okoye, Udemadu Frank Chika – December 2021- Page No.: 707-715
The study examined Nigeria corruption perception index and Nigeria transparency index: its effect on all share index of Nigerian capital market. Specifically, the study determined the effect of Nigeria corruption perception index and corruption perception index on Nigeria capital market performance indicator as all-share index. The study is anchored on social disorganization theory which states that behaviour is influenced primarily by one’s environment and that corruption and other deviant and criminal behaviour are a result of the weakened mechanism of social control. The study used descriptive statistics in the analysis and E-view 10 was used. The findings show that there is a significant effect of the Nigeria corruption perception index and Nigeria transparency index on all share index of the Nigerian capital market. This has a wide implication for the capital market in Nigeria as a continued increase in corruption index would adversely affect the all share index. The work recommended that capital market regulators should speedily adopt and enact policies that proactively address fraudulent practices in the Nigerian capital market

What is Shared Vision on Effective Leadership
Christopher Banura Ruyooka- December 2021- Page No.: 723-724
As indicated by Senge (1990), a shared vision is a force that touches people’s hearts, a force of impressive power. More so, a shared vision helps transform the company into mine and ours, where employees begin to take responsibility for their work and maintain an environment dominated by teamwork.

Ownership Structure and Performance of Selected Quoted Manufacturing Companies in Nigeria
Kazeem Toyin Cynthia, Omole Ilesanmi Isaac- December 2021- Page No.: 725-735
This study evaluated the effect of equity ownership structure on the financial performance of selected quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria. The focus of the evaluation is on the relationship between ownership structure variables (managerial, institutional and foreign) on firm performance (Return on Equity and Return on Asset). Data were collected for this study through secondary source for the period 2011 – 2020. 60 manufacturing firms listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange were purposively sampled.Data were collected on variables such as institutional owners’ equity, managerial ownership equity, foreign ownership equity, Total Assets, shareholders’ fund and earnings after interest and tax was collected from the Annual Reports of companies. Data collected was analyzed using tables, descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis. Also, the data collected were subjected to pooled General Least Square, Random and Fixed Effects regression model in testing the hypotheses of the study. It was discovered thatall the variables i.e. (ROTA, ROE, MON, LEV, LASSET, ION, FON and AGE) had correlation coefficients that were very low and less than 0.9 having either positive or negative values.It was discovered that all the series showed high level of consistency because all mean and median values were within the maximum and minimum values of the series. The deviation of the actual data from their mean value were exceptionally high, typically demonstrated by the relatively high value of the standard deviations. The study recommended that improvement should be made on corporate governance to focus on sound equity ownership structure to attract foreign investors. Likewise, Industrial investors should emphasize the importance of inclusion of institutional investors in companies ownership structures and collisions between the directors and dominant shareholders should be prevented

From Diplomacy to Contestation: Paradigm Shifts in the Zambia-China Relations, 1964-2011
Euston Kasongo Chiputa – December 2021- Page No.: 736-748
Between 1964 and 2011, relations between Zambia and China saw paradigm shifts from ‘mutual’ diplomatic relations to economic relations and eventually to contestation. China was an important pillar of the anti-colonial struggle in Zambia and the southern African sub-region. She provided economic and morale aid, logistical support, infrastructure building and education training for Zambia and other southern African countries. From 1964 until 1971, Zambia gave unflinching diplomatic support to China’s cause for readmission to the United Nations. The 1964-2011 period saw the Zambia-China relationship undergo trio paradigm shifts; from China being an aid and loans provider to being an investor, from Chinese state-directed aid and loans to Chinese state and private investments in Zambia. From 2000, the Zambian people contested what they saw as Chinese invasion of their economic space. This paper explores these paradigm shifts in the Zambia-China relations between 1964 and 2011. The paper investigates whether China’s relationship with Zambia gravitated from a benefactor-beneficiary relationship to ‘mutual’ benefit; punctuated by contestation by Zambians or whether the relations were tantamount to a Chinese “colonisation” of Zambia’s economic landscape. Data for this paper was collected from official Zambian and Chinese government records and correspondence at the National Archives of Zambia. Other data was collected from the Archives of the United National Independence Party (UNIP) in Lusaka and from newspapers and secondary sources. These sources were subjected to comprehensive literature analysis to arrive at the conclusion that 1964 and 2011 the Zambia-China relations underwent three paradigm shifts from ‘mutual’ diplomatic relations to economic relations and eventually to contestation between.

Industrialization strategies and model for Senegal
Diadama Ismaila – December 2021- Page No.: 749-759
After gaining independence, mainly in the 1960s, most African countries began to focus on promoting their industrialization. There was indeed a conviction among African leaders that industrialization was necessary to ensure self-sufficiency and reduce dependence on the advanced countries. Senegal also attempted at industrialization in the post-independence years but has had mixed results due to the absence of a clear policy attributable in particular to insufficient knowledge of its industrial sector. The purpose of this study is to propose strategies and an alternative model that could enable Senegal to develop its industry, based on some Asian latecomer’s example, findings, industrial main obstacles and recommendations analyzed in the previous parts. It should be made right clear that there is no single best-emerging market model. In the course of development, each country follows its path based on its human, economic, and natural resources. However, whatever way it takes, most of the emerging market has put industry at the heart of its economy structural transformation.

Changing Pedagogies in Adult Education Teaching and Learning: Heutagogy an Option
Okorie, Christiana Uzoaru (Ph.D) – December 2021- Page No.: 760-769
The study investigated the issue of changing pedagogies in teaching and learning of adult education at post graduate level in Nigeria. It was guided by three research objectives and questions. The study built was built heutagogy approach to teaching and learning which is hinged on student-centeredness where student play immediate and on-going role in what they learn, when to learn and how they learn. The study adopted descriptive survey design. Population of the study comprised lecturers in the department of adult education in Universities in South-South Geopolitical Zone of Nigeria. Only lecturers who teaches post graduate students were purposively sampled. The researcher used a structured questionnaire designed with google form to gather data for the study. Data was collected via electronic mailing. Findings shows that lecturers that teaches post graduate students in Adult and Non-Formal Education Departments in Nigeria Universities still engage in pedagogical teaching and learning in their post graduate class; they also agreed that there is need to change pedagogies in teaching and learning due challenges involve in the changes associated with the present knowledge economy. But the lecturer’s level of awareness of heutagogy as a teaching and learning approach for 21st century learners is low. The researcher thus recommended that lecturers should avail themselves opportunities of training and re-training in new ways of teaching in the 21st century to meet up with the challenges of present knowledge economy.

Redesigning Life with New Science: The Fine Line
Fariel Shafee- December 2021- Page No.: 770-777
We look into specific aspects of human civilisation the depend on inter-connectivity among related and unrelated individuals. The dependence may be need based or of more fundamental biological nature. Hence the cohesive factors may be rational reciprocity, trust or more instinctive attributes such as loyalty and faith. The biological dependence of members of a complex social structure as well as possible artifacts of local needs and needs of specific periods contribute to the structure the social network as individuals and the environment interact. Hence, stratification is created that are either fundamental or superficial. We analyse the possibilities of shifting the balance of average traditional human behavioural equilibria by introducing modern technologies especially in the fields of enhancement and reproduction. We imagine extreme scenarios to and surmise possible compensations for modern adaptation in behaviour by legal and social means given the uncertainties and complexities of artificially disturbing delicate biological interconnections.

Rapid Study on the Impact of COVID-19 on the Personal and Official Wellbeing of PAC Staffs
Vivetha Gunaretnam – December 2021- Page No.: 778-784
This paper addresses the impact of COVID- 19 on the personal and official wellbeing of PAC staff. The term COVID-19 can be defined as Coronavirus disease for 2019. According to World Health Organization (WHO) Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 Virus. The term personal wellbeing is a good, satisfactory, and desirable state of personal existence or life. It represents the personal aspect of the quality of the life (Janek Musek, 2014). According to International Labor Organization (ILO, 2015), workplace wellbeing is related to all aspects of working life, from the quality and safety of the physical environment to how workers feel about work, their working environment, the climate of the work, and work organization. The term Mental Health can be defined as a state of well-being in which an individual realizes his/her ability can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively, and can contribute to his or her community (WHO, 2015). This paper examines the impact of COVID-19 on the personal and official wellbeing of the Psychological Advisory Center (PAC) Staff. PAC is a well-known established organization that aims to promote the psychological wellbeing of the people globally and locally. Staff’ are working in the organization and the researcher aimed to find out the COVID-19 impact on their personal and official wellbeing. In exploring the dependent variable of the impact of the COVID-19, the present paper discusses the independent variable such as personal and official wellbeing by accessing the knowledge; heard/seen stories, awareness of the symptoms, preventative measures, the government interventions. The criteria of Personal life impact, explore the impact as a person, impact as a family member, affecting needs and services, security, friendship, intimacy, and sense of connection. In exploring the official life with PAC, working conditions, decision-making skills, interaction with other colleagues, and working hours have been examined during the COVID-19 period.

Science and Scientific Methodology with A Critical View; Does Science Make Mistakes?
Abdullah Murat Tuncer – December 2021- Page No.: 785-789
Despite its many definitions exist, science, in a concise way, is described as methodical and systematic knowledge, that carries, always and everywhere, qualities of validity and certainty and that is obtained through academic research methods and attested by way of implementation. (Britannica.com/science, 2021). The attempt of human-being to build up knowledge and make laws by studying in a methodical manner and a systematic way, based on observing, experimenting and reasoning is called science. Scientific knowledge, on the other hand, is knowledge that has been obtained via scientific methods (acikders.ankara.edu.tr 2021). The resulting data must be universally valid. Likewise, researchers ought to be unbiased and research has to be objective.

Leveraging the Pension Industry for Sustained Economic Growth and Development in Nigeria through Targeted Investments
Peter Imouokhome- December 2021- Page No.: 802-805
The Nigerian pension industry has been in existence for over seventeen years with the first established promulgation of the pension law coming into force in 2004. The 2014 Pension reform Act has however repealed the provisions of the erstwhile law helping to establish a well-regulated industry.
The resilience and magnitude of current pension funds notwithstanding, there is still a largely untapped market which gives some signs of a huge prospect in this industry. It is projected that the pension industry will lead the growth of the Nigerian economy for the next decades if more attention is paid to a targeted investment of funds in the real sector and in instruments that promise increased returns for contributors – employees even in the face of high inflation and prevalent currency depreciation.

Perera K.J.T., Fernando P.I.N., Ratnayake R.M.C.S., Udawaththa U.D.I.C- December 2021- Page No.: 806-812
COVID-19 spreads globally with a unique makeup and high intensity. During this global pandemic, addressing “consumer behavior” could send signals to the industrial sector, and it is worthwhile to identify the hidden antecedents of consumer behavior during the pandemic. The study’s main purpose is to organize and standardize current knowledge on pandemic hoarding behavior. The methodology section is followed by the analysis and discussion portion, which comprises a) citation analysis, which was done to analyze developing research publications on consumer behavior during a pandemic, and b) comprehensive analytical models within the literature. Research papers were selected from well-known research databases such as Web of Science, J Store, and Google Scholar, and the analysis included 43 research papers. The research consist with two sections: (a) citation analysis and (b) identifying comprehensive analytical models. The citation analysis revealed three major themes: (1) panic buying behavior during pandemics, (2) new trends in pandemic buying, and (3) online buying behavior during pandemics. Furthermore, review propose Ling & Ho (2020) model be aligned to fill a need in consumer behavior research. Moreover, findings reveal a unique perspective on government policymaking that will aid in improving the effectiveness of governments’ existing lockdown policy measures by governing and controlling individuals’ behaviors and attitudes, allowing for a more holistic and integrated response to the pandemic.

School and Community partnership in promoting Quality education in Ghana: Issues from Atwima Nwabiagya District
Samuel Danquah, Benedict Osei Owusu, PhD and Asare Amoah – December 2021- Page No.: 813-819
It has become obvious in recent years that Ghanaian public education system is struggling to connect with the specific communities, families and more especially the children it serves. Hence, the study was conducted to unearth schools and community partnership in promoting quality education in Ghana. Descriptive survey design was the research design for the study. In all 16 junior secondary schools in the Atwima Nwabiagya district of Ashanti Region of Ghana were sample. The respondents were 24 head teachers, 148 teachers and 73 community members. Questionnaire was the data collection instrument. Pearson correlation and multiple regression procedure were used to analyse the data. The analysis led to a conclusion that school community relations in Atwima Nwabiagya district were effective. Among the conclusions of this research was that there are so many strategies that can be employed to connect schools and their communities to achieve quality education. The study recommends that schools should necessarily understand the opinion of communities regarding both broad educational issues and day to day operation of the schools. Again, vigorous effort should be made at both the state and local government level to sensitize citizens on the need for their participation in the education of their children.

An analysis of the effects of supply chain risk management on resilience to economic risk. A case of Pharmaceutical retailers in Zimbabwe
Dumisani Mawonde, Casper Demberere and Regis Muchowe – December 2021- Page No.: 828-831
This study has analysed of supply chain risk management on resilience to economic risk in pharmaceutical retailers in Zimbabwe. A mixed method research approach was adopted in the form of descriptive research design and data was collected using questionnaires and interviews. The IBM SPSS version 16 software was used to analyse quantitative data whilst thematic analysis was used to analyse qualitative data. A total of 100 questionnaires were sent to pharmaceutical retailing firms and 92 questionnaires were completed and returned to the researcher on time and were used for data analysis. Face to face interviews were successfully conducted with 10 key informants in pharmaceutical retailing firms. The findings of the study show that supply chain risk management had a significant positive effect on resilience to economic risks. The study concluded that supply chain risk management helps pharmaceutical retailers to be resilient to economic risks. Therefore, it was recommended that pharmaceutical retailers must adopt supply chain risk management strategies such as risk identification, risk planning, risk avoidance and risk pooling in order to be resilient to economic risks.

Effect of Transactional Leadership on Students’ Unrest in Public Boarding Schools in Bungoma County in Kenya
Moses Wakachala, Sarah Likoko, Jane Barasa- December 2021- Page No.: 832-837
Incidences of student indiscipline in public learning institutions in Kenya have been rising sharply over the past decade culminating into many cases of school unrests. Consequently, loses of property and lives, insecurity and compromised quality of education have taken root in the schools raising questions as to whether Principals of the institutions undertake appropriate practices that can enhance order in leadership of public Secondary Schools under their jurisdiction. The study therefore sought to determine the influence of transactional leadership on student unrest. The study adopted a descriptive research design. The target population was 76 deputy principals, 152 teachers and 3,040 form four students in public boarding secondary schools. Multistage sampling was used in this study where schools were clustered into two categories. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 12 schools and 480 form four students from the categories. Purposive sampling was then used to select 12 deputy principals in charge of administration, 24 heads of boarding sections and teachers in charge of guidance and counselling departments in the schools. Questionnaires and interview schedules were used to collect data from the respondents. Reliability of the instruments was determined through test-retest method and a Cronbach Alpha coefficient of 0.734 was computed, which was considered sufficient for use of the questionnaires in the actual study. Research instruments were availed to supervisors who ascertained the relevance of items hence the validity of the instruments. Data was analysed using frequencies, means and the independent samples t-test statistics were conducted to compare differences between the two independent groups of schools. The study however did not establish a significant effects of transactional leadership style on student unrest.

Representation of the Rohingyas in Media and New Media: Narrative, Analysis, and Re-thinking
Abdur Rahim, Sadat Zaman Khan – December 2021- Page No.: 838-842
Among the recent most-talked issues in the international arena, the Rohingya issue in Myanmar draws the attention of the critical circles. Representation of them in the media and new media covers a vast critical space because of their complex position in the country as Muslims and minority. Moreover, their anthropological and religious resemblance with the people of the neighbouring country Bangladesh has more complicated the issue. The world is divided into two poles regarding Myanmar’s claim of the Rohingyas’ non-nationality and Bengali identity. The topic is relentlessly discussed in both media and new media. The representation is mixed in the media because of different political interests while it is almost one dimensional in the new media. This paper, first of all, shows the way of the representation of the Rohingyas in the media and the new media regarding their exodus to the neighbouring country Bangladesh, and their lives as refugees. Secondly, it highlights how the conventional media fail to bring out the realities about an ethnic group suppressed in multifaceted ways and thirdly, it analyses the role of the new media where discourses appear relentlessly from different sources irrespective of religions, cultures, boundaries, and ideologies.

Onin Fafak Peninsulacement Relationships in the Network of Nusantara Archepelago Maritime, 1900’s
Ester Yambeyapdi, Susanto Zuhdi, Didik Pradjoko – December 2021- Page No.: 843-857
This research aims to explain the characteristics of the Onin Fakfak peninsula and its relations to the Nusantara archipelago. The Onin Fakfak peninsula in the maritime network of Nusantara archipelago has been known since the 7th century during the Sriwijaya empire and in the 12th century, when the name Onin (Wwanim) was mentioned in the book Negarakertagama by Mpu Prapanca, a famous Majapahit poet of his time. The Onin Fakfak peninsula was known as a shipping route with other parts of the archipelago for its trade in the nutmeg spice, in addition to its ability to sail, pirate, and as a center for slave transactions. Nutmeg has an important role in the life of every native Fakfak. In the life cycle of every native child of Mbaham Matta, nutmeg becomes one of the plants that form his daily activities and its use is life knowledge. Picking – harvesting nutmeg is a symbol of maintaining kinship ties and the responsibility for feeding the family; selling nutmeg is a symbol of building communication and social relations with outsiders; and caring for nutmeg hamlets is a symbol of treating nature wisely.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs): Key to Socio-Economic Development of Nigeria
Aikor, Shirgba Timothy Ph.D – December 2021- Page No.: 866-872
In Nigeria, as in many other developing and emerging economies, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) contribute to their socio-economic development and growth hence, successive governments have invested resources in intervention programs aimed at stimulating the sector to achieve sustainable development. The main objectives of the study are to; review the role of SMEs to the socio-economic development of Nigeria, identify current government efforts and challenges to stimulating SMEs performance especially as it relates to wealth creation and employment generation. The study found that; SMEs play a key role in socio economic development of the country especially in the area of employment generation and wealth creation. However, there are prevailing economic and political conditions that have not given room for SMEs to thrive, as evidenced in the internal and external challenging factors they are currently facing in the country despite the enormous government intervention initiatives. It is recommended that government should reform the implementation of these initiatives, ensure programmes continuity due to change on government, fight corruption and insecurity, improve on the business environment and evolve youth re-orientation programme to cause them to embrace entrepreneurship. The methodology adopted for this work is narrative textual case study

Farmers-Herders Clashes in Agatu, Logo and Guma Local Government Areas of Benue State: Analysing its Implication on Food Production
Ilim, Moses Msughter, Amali Suleiman, Lawal, Yakubu Olarewaju- December 2021- Page No.: 892-900
This work was an inquiry into the implication of farmers-herders conflict on agricultural activities in Logo, Agatu and Guma local government areas of Benue state. The main objective of the study was to highlight the consequences of famers-herders conflict on agricultural production in the selected local government areas. Multi-stage sampling technique was employed to first divide the local governments into clusters in the first stage, and in the second stage, stratified sampling technique was used to draw the list of all the communities to be studied within the council wards and communities, while simple random sampling was used to select respondents for study in the last stage. Consequently, questionnaires were used as instrument of data collection to survey the opinions of 415 respondents across communities in the three local government areas. The findings of the study revealed that farmers-herders conflict has become a very challenging issue for farmers in Benue state and has impacted negatively on food production. Also that the clashes begin in form of attacks on famer lands and on cattle. Similarly, the study revealed that during the crises, houses are destroyed and communities are displacing dislocating farmers from engaging in serious farming. The study thus concludes that the destruction and displacement of farmers and threat of attack by herders negatively affect agricultural production in Benue state and other agro-business activities. The study calls for more involvement of traditional rulers to manage the conflict, similarly, it is also recommended that law enforcement officers be stationed in affected communities to protect lives and properties; amplifying the call for community policing. Also, the study suggests that the law against open grazing should be modified to serve the purpose of peace and should be respected by all.

Christilyn Juarez Arcayna, Jonelyn Juarez Arcayna, Resty Juarez Arcayna – December 2021- Page No.: 907-922
The conditional cash transfer program of 4Ps is a social program that entails monetary assistance that contributes to the education of beneficiaries. This study aimed at finding out if the implementation of the 4Ps conditional cash transfer program in terms of health and education is related to the students’ school attendance. The respondents of this study were 4Ps recipient students of Don Vicente Romualdez National High School. A descriptive – correlational study was employed utilizing a representative sample of all 4Ps beneficiaries from Grade 7 to Grade 12. Findings revealed that the implementation of 4Ps Conditional Cash Transfer programs in terms of health and education grants is high. Findings also revealed that students’ percentage of school attendance met the standard requirements of 4Ps and DepEd policy, which is 80% of the total number of days. It is then recommended that the Philippine Government continue the implementation of 4Ps and design additional programs for beneficiaries who graduated through the CCT.

Some solutions for socio – economic development in the current period – a case study in Binh Phuoc province, Vietnam
Dinh Thi Huyen – December 2021- Page No.: 923-926
Once a province less developed than other localities across the country, but after more than 20 years of development, Binh Phuoc province has had a “makeover” in all aspects. A group of experts from Fulbright University Vietnam assessed that Binh Phuoc now has more obvious opportunities than ever before. If it knows how to make good use of it, Binh Phuoc can completely transform from the position of “development reserve” into a “development engine” of the Southeast region in particular as well as the whole country in general.

Human Rights and Legal Needs of Adults Living With HIV/AIDS in Jos North Central Nigeria
Ewu, GA, Nwankwo BB- December 2021- Page No.: 927-932
Nigeria has the second largest HIV epidemic in the world and with it, a growing list of HIV related human rights and legal needs.
This hospital based descriptive cross sectional study was carried out to assess the human right and legal needs of adult people living with HIV/AIDS in Jos North Central Nigeria.
A total of 390 respondents 62% of which are females were interviewed. The mean age was 33.4 + 7.7 years. About 50% were diagnosed at least a year before the study and 78.8% have at least secondary school education. Stigma and discrimination was reported in the workplace (13.6%) and family (8.5%) resulting in sack (5.1%) and separation from spouse (1.5%). Over 89% do not have a written will and about 35% are not aware they cannot be sacked on the basis of their HIV status. About 40% reported that they need legal advice/services while over 19% desire to participate in HIV related service delivery. The need for legal services was more among those with at least secondary school education (44.25%).
HIV/AIDS related human rights and legal needs exist in various settings. Services are therefore needed that address these needsin health facilities, in communities and in the work places.

Financial Innovation and Commercial Banks Performance in Ghana
Benedict Afful Jr, Prince Kofi Mensah Kuwornu, Joseph Kwasi Asafo – December 2021- Page No.: 933-940
The study sought to investigate the effect of financial innovation on performance of commercial banks in Ghana. The study used balance panel data over the period of 2009-2018from16 registered and licensed commercial banks. Fixed and random effect models were applied to the data. The findings show that financial innovation and the age of a bank have a significantly positive effect on banks financial performance. However, inflation had a negative effect on financial performance. The study also revealed that asset quality and bank size have a negative effect on net interest margin and return on equity. Share of industry deposit and number of branches have a positive effect on net interest margin. Based on these findings, it was recommended that commercial bank management should introduce more cost-effective products or services to improve bank performance. Management of commercial banks should deploy the services of credit reference bureau to foster reduction in impairment allowance hence improvement in financial performance.

Linguistics Analysis on Sentence Patterns between Arabic and Tamil Languages
MHA. Munas & MS. Zunoomy – December 2021- Page No.: 951-955
This research focuses on studying differences in sentence pattern between Arabic and Tamil languages by exposing similarities and dissimilarities between them. Descriptive contrastive methodology is used by secondary data. It finds that there are more dissimilarities rather than similarities in gender, numeral, tense, pronouns, kinds of pronouns, adjectives, genitive and articles. This research will help learners of Arabic language as a foreign language though they are Tamil language speakers, translators and students from the field of linguistics and translation to know sentence pattern between these two languages in the best way.

Diversity, Abundance, Uniform and Dominance of Plantones in the Batu Bumbun Reservat Kutai Kartanegara Regency
Sus Trimurti, Lariman- December 2021- Page No.: 956-962
The research activity on the Diversity, Abundance, Uniformity, and Dominance of Plankton in the Batu Bumbun Reservat aims to determine the potential of plankton as natural food for fish in a waters that serves as a fishery reserve. Batu Bumbun Reservation is a freshwater reserve that is used as a fishery reserve, located in Muara Muntai District which borders on the bay (Ulak Banda), namely from Muara Tawar, Sungai Tawar and its surroundings to Lake Batu Bumbun, from Muara Sungai Muntai, Labak Beto to Tanjung Kemujan, Keluang river and its surroundings. The total area of the location is about 450 Ha. The methodology used is the survey method. Research activities are carried out from February to April 2021 for sampling and analysis in the laboratory. Water environment data includes data on physical, chemical and biological parameters. Physical parameters measured are: temperature, brightness, and depth. Chemical parameters to be taken are: pH, DO, and Alkalinity. The biological parameter to be taken is plankton. The results of the research on Plankton found in the Batu Bumbun reserve are 64 species which are divided into 10 classes consisting of 6 classes of phytoplankton, namely: Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Euglenaceae, Myxophyceae and Xanthophyceae and 4 classes of zoo plankton, namely: Crustacea, Ciliata, Lobosa and Monogononta. The total value of plankton abundance obtained during the study at station 1 was 56,852 individuals/liter, station 2 was 38,552 individuals/liter and station 3 was 54,107 individuals/liter. The highest diversity index value (H’) is found at station 1 of 3.4376 and the lowest diversity index value (H’) is at station 2 of 2.8585. The range of diversity index (H’) at 3 stations ranged from 2.8585 to 3.4376 which was classified as good and stable diversity. The highest uniformity index value (E) is at station 3 of 0.9152 and the lowest uniformity value (E) is at station 2 of 0.7916. The range of the uniformity index (E) at the 3 stations ranged from 0.7916 to 0.9152 so that at the 3 stations the distribution of individuals was fairly even at each station. The value of the dominance index (D’) at the 3 stations ranged from 0.0399 to 0.1100 which indicated that the number of individuals for each species was almost the same and that there were no species that dominated other species or in other words the community structure was in a stable condition.This condition is very important considering Batu Bumbun is a fishery reserve that must provide fish as an economic source for the surrounding community and as a source of food for protected mammals, namely the Mahakam Pesut (Orcaellabrevirostris).

Betty Karwitha Mwiraria, Dr Appolonius S Kembu, PhD – December 2021- Page No.: 963-967
Employee recognition is critical in all firms in Kenya, especially those that are growing. This is due to the fact that staff turnover is high, as workers look for better opportunities elsewhere with higher pay and benefits, or as employees are headhunted by competitors. With this in mind therefore that this study will investigate effect of employee recognition on performance of organizations. The objective of the study was; to determine the influence of recognition of employees on performance of organization. Using Herzberg’s two-factor theory as its foundation, the study used a descriptive research methodology with a target sample of 150 workers from Meru Water and Sewerage Services. The major data collecting tools were questionnaires, which were validated and reliable via a pilot study. A regression model was used to establish the link between research variables and organizational performance, and the results were presented in a table. Results of the study revealed that recognition had a positive and significant impact on the performance of the organization, as indicated by the t-values of (t=2.817, p0.05), on the organization’s performance. According to the findings of the research, acknowledgment is critical in improving employee performance, which in turn improves the performance of the firm. In addition, the researchers discovered that workers’ performance would improve if they are properly and promptly rewarded for their efforts. According to the findings of the study, MEWASS management should make every effort to provide recognition that will attract, retain, and encourage its employees in order to assist them in working in a conducive environment that will improve organizational performance.

Is Agricultural Sustainability Positively Related with Technical Efficiency? A Case of Paddy-Cattle Integration Farming Systems, Anuradhapura District, Sri Lanka
S.P. Dissanayake, L.H.P. Gunaratne, T. Sivananthawerl, and G.A.S Ginigaddara – December 2021- Page No.: 968-976
Paddy-cattle integration farming system is one of the dominated farming systems in the dry zone, Sri Lanka where a reciprocal relationship is reinforced through the integration of paddy farming system with cattle. Particularly, these farming systems are subjected to high risk and uncertainty which resulted in poor productivity and less sustainability. Hence, this study attempted to measure the relationship between sustainability and technical efficiency in paddy-cattle integrated farming systems. The study employed a survey instrument to gather data from 300 randomly selected paddy-cattle integrated farmers in the Anuradhapura district. Sustainable Livelihood Security Index was computed using 11 variables representing economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Principle Component Analysis and linear weighted scores were occupied to develop the Sustainable Livelihood Security Index using normalized variables. Stochastic Frontier Analysis measured the technical efficiency of these farming systems. The correlation coefficient was measured between technical efficiency and sustainability level of the farming systems. According to Sustainable Livelihood Security Index values, 11% of the respondents were sustainable while 14% and 68% were moderately sustainable and vulnerable respectively. The average technical efficiency was 83%, implying that paddy-cattle integrated farmers have the potential to increase productivity by 17%. Net swan area (P<0.05), number of milking cattle reared (P<0.01), amount of organic fertilizer used (P< 0.01), and family labor (P< 0.05) showed a significant impact on the productivity. Age (P<0.1), gender (P< 0.05), household size (P< 0.1), farming experience (P< 0.1), education level (P< 0.1), access to credit (P< 0.1), and off-farm income (P< 0.1) significantly influenced the efficiency. A positive correlation was found between technical efficiency and level of sustainability. Thus, policymakers should consider the improvements in technical efficiency while considering the socio-economic variables to ensure the sustainability of these farming systems.

Leadership Type: Sutomo Strategic Leadership at the Battle of Surabaya November 10, 1945
Albert Agung Wijaya, Priyanto, Wayan Nurida – December 2021- Page No.: 977-981
In the battle of Surabaya 1945 there was a figure who was able to burn the spirit of the people of Surabaya to dare to die against the invaders, the figure is Sutomo or better known as Sutomo, therefore the author is interested in reviewing and analyzing the Background of the Battle of November 10, 1945 in Surabaya and Reviewing the Role of Sutomo Strategic Leadership in the Battle. This paneling method uses qualitative descriptive methods. According to Sugiyon, descriptive methods are studies that describe, describe, or describe the state of the object studied as what it is, according to the situation and conditions when the research is done. The study also uses a qualitative approach. Sutomo at all times galvanized and stimulated the revolutionary spirit organized into one giant fortress to face the Allies (Britain). Sutomo’s fiery voice shrilled the enemy’s guts we will not stop the fighting as long as the Dutch army is still on the Indonesian mainland. This voice indirectly weakens the spirit of the enemy who already feels anxious to face the fierce resistance of the Indonesian nation. In leadership has implemented strategic leadership, as well as has a bureaucratic leadership style, charismatic leadership style, analistic leadership style and visionary leadership style. Sutomo strategic leadership can be used as an example for Indonesian citizens, especially for youth to model their strategic leadership, namely in terms of decision making needed to think critically and think analytically, in order to predict the future impact of the decisions taken.

This study is conducted in Calabar Municipality of Cross River State with the aim of analyzing the pattern of land use change within the LGA. The study was however, concerned with analyzing the impact posed by land use change on physical development and also considers the impact of population growth on land use change as well as factors which influence land use change. Both primary and secondary sources of data were employed in the survey design strategy of this research. While the analysis adopted the use of GIS intuition in map production for comparing land use changes from 2011 to 2020. The study recommended among others, strengthening of town planning authorities in order to monitor unpermitted land use changes/modifications and uncontrolled development.

Digital marketing adoption by National Tourism Organisations (NTOs): A Zimbabwean perspective
Caroliny Makacha, Munodawafa Njovo – December 2021- Page No.: 989-996
The importance of adopting digital marketing in this era of rapid globalisation can’t be overlooked. According to several authors (e.g Bennett and Buhalis, 2003; Buhalis & Law, 2008) the internet is perceived as a powerful and effective marketing tool in tourism. It is consistently accepted as a valuable tool for distributing information and communication, and maintaining a corporate website is vital for the maintenance of relationships established between companies, by strengthening relationships with the public, and especially with customers, thus capturing a larger market segment. It goes without saying that digital marketing technologies have dramatically changed the way tourists and travellers communicate with each other, exchange views about their holidays, interact with the tourist industry in general as they organize their trips (pre-trip), or comment on services offered at hotels, restaurants (on-trip or post-trip) among others. The research sought to establish the digital marketing strategies adopted by Zimbabwe Tourism Authority; to establish the benefits of implementing digital marketing and the challenges faced thereof. In-depth, semi structured interviews were administered to 10 personnel from the NTOs marketing division. The data was thematically analysed. The results show that though ZTA has embraced the use of digital marketing through tools like websites, email marketing, social media marketing, it still faces an array of challenges that include limited financial resources to fully implement the concept.
