Assessing the effectiveness of Government Policy of compulsory learning of familiar Local Languages at Early Primary School Level on learners’ linguistic skills achievement: A Case of Grade 4 learners in four Primary Schools in Lusaka District of Lusaka Province
Lufeyo Chitondo – January 2022- Page No.: 01-07
The study aimed at assessing the effectiveness of Government policy of compulsory learning of local languages at early primary school level among the selected teachers in four Primary schools of Lusaka district in Zambia. The policy is based on teaching learners in their familiar local language. The study employed a mixed paradigm and descriptive survey design that sampled two primary schools, Head teachers, teachers, PTA executive members and Grade 4 learners. Data was obtained from respondents by means of interviews, questionnaires and classroom observation schedules. Frequency, percentages, tables, graphs and pie-charts were used to analyze the quantitative and qualitative data obtained. Data was then analyzed by the use of software MS Access and MS Excel. The findings revealed that learning in the mother tongue at early grade level helps in language development of the child as well in comprehending concepts easily enhancing early literacy attainment helps children to grasp literacy and learn how to read and write faster and that it even becomes easier for learners in later grades to learn other languages and subjects in the curriculum as they would have the foundations.

Critical Success Factors in Implementing E-Rural Development Projects: A Case Study Kegalle, Sri Lanka
H. A. Seneviratne, W.M.G.K. Wijerathne, M. Thenabadu – January 2022- Page No.: 08-11
Well-adapted information and communication technologies (ICTs) help rural communities improve their standard of living and increase their income levels, facilitating the abolition of poverty. The study was conducted to investigate the factors influencing the success of the implementation of an e-rural development project in the Kegalle district of Sri Lanka.
The population consists of project implementation team members who have worked full-time in Kegalle District as project managers, technical leads, project team members, or consultants on at least one e-rural development project implementation. The total population was 38 people. Questionnaires for interviews were distributed to all members and there were 22 responses received.
The relevance of critical success factors (CSF) identified in the literature survey was validated through personal interviews with selected 22 project implementation team members who work in rural e-projects. The top ten critical success factors identified in the investigation were: clear project goals/objectives, top management support, end user commitment, involvement & training, and selecting appropriate technology. Effective communication and information sharing, vendor support and commitment, leadership style (effective decision making), and a focus on demand-driven needs, technological infrastructure and realistic Schedule
The study’s significance would be to identify the factors that could affect the successful implementation of e-rural development projects in Sri Lanka in order to reduce project failure, allowing for the development of strategies to ensure the success of e-rural development projects in Sri Lanka.

The Attitudes of Homicide Victims on their victimization
Prof. M.W. Jayasundara – January 2022- Page No.: 12-18
In Sri Lanka, the death penalty had been in place since the times of the ancient kings and under the colonial rulers to prevent grave crimes, including murder. From 1956 to 1959 and after June 1976, the death penalty was not carried out in Sri Lanka. However, the homicide rate has declined from 7.6 in 1976 to 2.1 in 2020 even in the absence of the death penalty. It is assumed that rather than capital punishment for homicide, some other significant factors have contributed to a decline in homicides in the country. This study was conducted in 2019 to identify the characteristics of homicide victims in Sri Lanka. Moreover, the background of the offenders and their relationship to the victims were also solicited. The data were collected concerning the 59 homicide victims selected from a random sample drawn from police stations located in nine districts in Sri Lanka. For data collection, a semi-structured interview schedule was utilized.
The study has revealed that low-income earners and less educated individuals mostly tend to become victims of homicide over minor matters in their daily life. Among them a considerable number of people engaged in blue-collar jobs happen to become victims of homicide over issues that might appear relatively trivial to other people. Previous enmity, family disputes, land disputes and drunkenness have been the precipitating motives for these offenders. This study suggests that creating awareness and disseminating knowledge among the less educated and low-income categories of people can cause a positive change in their conduct towards a peaceful and law-abiding life free from homicide.

Critically Assess How Transactional and Transformational Leadership Affects Workforce Behaviour
Christopher Banura Ruyooka – January 2022- Page No.: 19-22
I. INTRODUCTION
Leadership is possibly one of the most significant facets of organizations (Weihrich et al., 2008). Since leadership is an important factor that contributes significantly to the general wellbeing of the organization, it is equally important to the realization of the vision and mission of the organization (Bans Akutei, 2021). At the same time, Bass (1985) points out a number of theories (e.g., delegative, authoritative, intercultural, freelance, transactional, charismatic, transformational, visionary, and coaching) that have been anticipated to explain the efficacy of leadership. But, only two of these theories (transformational and transactional leaderships) are well known to be the most famous leadership styles in organizations (Awamleh and Gardner, 1999, Bass, 1985, Conger and Kanungo, 1987). In addition, a number of important organizational outcomes are associated with these two leadership styles, to name but a few; contentment, managerial success, solidarity, and responsibility (Kirkpatrick and Locke, 1996).

Sharon Kwaramba and Stanley Murairwa- December 2021 Page No.: 46-56
The article identified and classified the primary school stakeholders in Harare, Zimbabwe. The research used a case study and literature analysis results to develop a framework for analysing and classifying primary school stakeholders for enhancing the quality of the decisions by the administrators. The research collected both primary and secondary data from WhatsApp groups of Harare primary school instructors/teachers and parents/guardian sand the literature for analysis. The Voluntary sampling design was used to select the respondents. The research used data that was gathered from forty-five journal articles and sixty primary schoolteachers/instructors and parents/guardians. The research found that a successful implementation of the primary school stakeholder analysis makes the stakeholder identification and classification processes very simple and easy. There was significant a relationship between the primary school and its stakeholders but there was also challenges. This research developed the Stakeholder Identification, classification and Engagement (SICE) framework for identifying, classifying and engaging primary school stakeholders.

Perceptions of the Usage of WhatsApp for Instruction: A Study of Teachers in Senior High Schools in Ghana
Frederick Owusu-Boakye; Abednego Kofi Bansah; Justice Armah – January 2022- Page No.: 65-75
The free education policy at the senior high school levels in Ghana resulted in an increase in enrollment numbers which subsequently lead to the adoption of the double track system which necessitated the need to divide students into two tracks. This meant that while one track was in school, the other was on vacation. As such, an innovative way is needed to keep students’ engage especially a track that is on vacation. The purpose of this research was to determine the perception of teachers on the usage of WhatsApp messenger for teaching and learning. A cross-sectional design was employed in this study among 125 senior high school teachers within Tema Metropolis of Ghana. The research revealed that, perceived cost had an effect on teachers perceive usefulness, perceived convenience, perceived effectiveness, perceived trust and perceived intension to use WhatsApp Messenger for teaching and learning. Perceived convenience had a more pronounced effect on perceived usefulness. Implications of the results for scaling up or developing reforms on regular stakeholder’s consultations to understand the concept of using WhatsApp messenger for teaching and learning in high schools with similar context are discussed.

Kigiryama Phonology
Dr. Elizabeth Jumwa Munyaya – January 2022- Page No.: 76-83
This paper provides an in-depth introduction to the Phonology of Kigiryama language. Phonetics is the study of how the sounds of the world’s languages are produced and perceived. Phonology is the study of how these sounds are categorized, contrasted, and organized into larger structures in each language. In this paper, we will begin with a description of the phonotactics of Kigiryama language and Kigiryama syllable structure. Finally, this paper will analyze the phonological processes involved with both vowels and consonants in the language in question. The aim of the study is to give a phonological description of Kigiryama vowels and consonants with a special reference to the phonological processes that occur in these phonemes. Data will be collected through interview schedules and focus group discussions. Analysis of the data will involve first translating the data into English, then classifying and describing the words into the phonological processes of the vowels and consonants. The findings will show that the processes of glide formation, vowel deletion, vowel insertion and vowel height assimilation occur mainly with vowels while the processes of palatalization, labialization and assibilation occur mainly with consonants. Throughout the paper, we will work with real data from a diverse sample of the Kigiryama language. This information is fundamental to any linguistic study since it forms a foundation upon which various levels of linguistic analysis of Kigiyama is based.

The Untold Stories of Working Students: Failures, Successes, and Prospects
Glenda C. Magno, Eugenio S. Magno – January 2022- Page No.: 88-97
TQuality education is the prime dream of every student. However, for the poor and underprivileged students, the burden of acquiring a college degree required a lot of perseverance and hardship. Therefore, this study revealed the experiences of working students’ failures, successes, and prospects. It applied a phenomenological qualitative research design where the twenty (20) identified working students, their select classmates, and teachers served as the population of the study. The data gathered through an in-depth- one-on-one interview with the participants and analyzed with the use of the MAXQDA software. The study revealed the situation of working students is really tough and very stressful. They have difficulty complying with school requirements. The advantages of being a working student help them learn how to prioritize and manage their time and boost their self-confidence. The disadvantages include incurring school tardiness leading to poor academic performance. The strength of working students includes being optimistic and managing setting priorities in life. On the other hand, the weaknesses of having difficulty fixing conflicting schedules and mental exhaustion

Private Sector Credit Provision in Periods of Fluctuating Capital Inflows in Nigeria: Does each Regime Change Influence Credit Provision Differently?
Nzeh, Innocent Chile, Benedict I. Uzoechina, Millicent Adanne Eze, Chika P. Imoagwu and Ozoh Joan Nwamaka – January 2022- Page No.: 98-113
Our study aims to find the link between capital inflows and credit to private sector over a period of 2010M01-2021M08 and to identify if the behavior of banks’ credit in each regime differ. Under the framework of ARDL, in the first sub-sample, findings show that capital inflows negatively impacts on credit to private sector in the short-run, while in the long-run, the impact is positive though not significant. The study also finds that the interaction of capital inflows with the dummy variable leads to a positivesignificant impact of capital inflows on credit to private sectorin the short-run. In the second sub-sample, findings show that the impact of capital inflows on credit to private sector is positive but not significant both in the short-run and in the long-run. However, when capital inflows interact with the dummy variable, the impact on credit to private sector is negative and significant in both the short and long-run. Consequently, we recommend that different policy measures should be adopted to suit different shocks to the macroeconomic environment.

Integrating the Information Systems: Proposal to develop a Library LMS
D.N.T. Gunawardhana – January 2022- Page No.: 114-117
Library is not limited to offering resources for learning and teaching. Traditional library services are rapidly changing and library professionals are going beyond their limits of the duty list to provide maximum contribution to their users. They are coming out of the library and serve as resource persons, instructors, lecturers, research helpers, mentors, counselors and play many roles in the academic environment. They are giving their contribution to enhance learning and teaching by conducting lectures, seminars and workshops on research based sessions such as literature searching, plagiarism, referencing, thesis writing, abstract writing, research publishing, data analysis, research methodology etc. These works (content and knowledge) should be stored in an information system such as the University Learning Management System (LMS). With the COVID pandemic situation the need for such a system is very high due to the importance of online learning environment. That is why Library Learning Management System (Library LMS) is subjected to discussion. The duty list of library professionals is being redefined accordingly. Library professionals consist of the multidisciplinary subject streams. They contribute to teaching by conducting online lectures, creating online learning materials, providing new tools and techniques, conducting consultancy for research support using their subject knowledge. Then students will get many benefits such as download available learning materials, video lectures, make an appointment for online tutors, get “ask help” service and meet subject specialists when they have a “Library LMS”. It may have two tasks when establish a “Library LMS”. The first task is to develop a “Library LMS” as a sub system of the existing Library Management System. The second task is to integrate it with the University LMS.

Enhancement of the knowledge on the drop in levels in Benin’s high schools and colleges: Case of Fonkpamè College
AITCHEDJI Magloire Fortuné Landry, HOUEHA Noukpo Saturnin, KELANI R.Raphael- January 2022- Page No.: 118-123
The gradual decline in the level of learners is one of the main difficulties currently facing education in Benin. While numerous efforts are being made by socio-political stakeholders, there is limited scientific documentation on the real causes of this scourge. This study aims at identifying the main causes of the drop in level of trainees in Benin’s high schools and Colleges. The study was carried out at the “Collège d’Enseignement Général” (CEG) of Fonkpamè in Benin. The research methodology was based on the analysis of trainees’ academic results over a period of three years and on semi-structured interviews with a sample of 50 teachers and 120 trainees. The outcomes was a drop in academic performance between 2012-2013 and 2014-2015 at both level 1 and level 2 with increasingly high dropout rates. Highlighting the associated parameters to this drop in level revealed that 74% of learners with a home away from their school, 66% of learners with an illiterate parent, 72% of learners having no access to school books and reinforcement, 91% of learners paying their own school fees, 84% of learners who admit to having regular and uncontrolled access to social networks and 68% of learners without any follow-up from their parents, 70% of learners aged 15-17 in 5th form did not obtain the average. Hence, these factors have an impact on the academic performance of trainees. It would be important to extend this study to other high schools and colleges in Benin in order to take general measures of pedagogical, didactic, technical and social reforms to improve the performance of the Beninese educational system.

In vitro Regeneration protocol for Mulberry Morus alba L. through Tissue Culture Techniques
Md. Sohel Rana, Muhammad Nurul Amin and Mustafa Abul Kalam Azad – January 2022- Page No.: 124-128
This research work was taken for enormous production of white mulberry (Morus alba L.) through micropropagation techniques. Surface sterilization of the explants collected from the field grown mature plants was important and it was done with 0.1% HgCl₂ (Mercuric chloride) solution at different durations. Result showed that duration of the treatment was the best at 12 minutes for both shoot tips and nodal segments. Axillary shoot proliferation of nodal explants was better than that of (terminal) shoot tips. Data analysis showed that cytokinin BAP (6-Benzyl aminopurine) was more effective than Kn (Kinetin) for axillary shoot proliferation. The MS medium supplemented with 6.0 µM was the best to grow 100% shoot proliferation of the explants where the average length was 5.57cm ± 0.05. On the other hand, different concentration and type of auxin affected greatly to induce number and percentage of roots per shoot. In this case, half MS medium supplemented with 6.0 µM IBA (Indole-3-butyric acid) was showed the highest percentage (100%) of root regeneration where the average length was 4.21cm ± 0.07.

ALASHE, Abdulganiyy Kayode, ADEFOLURIN, Festus Adesegun, BELLO, Abass Oyeshola – January 2022- Page No.: 129-135
The necessity for survival has grown increasingly prominent as an overriding goal of every corporate organization in this COVID-19 pandemic period. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the relationship between internal control systems and business survival in the face of the current pandemic. A descriptive survey research design was used for the investigation. Primary data were obtained from a sample of 382 SMEs’ owners chosen at random from a population of 8,395 registered SMEs in Lagos State using a simple random sampling technique. The data gathering instrument was a five-item Likert scale questionnaire. Two hundred and thirty copies of the scale were returned and used in the study, representing a 60.20 percent survey response rate. Pearson correlation was used to test the hypotheses. The study’s findings revealed a positive relationship between internal control systems and business survival in the pandemic era. It was determined that internal control systems were a successful instrument for organizational control and commercial survival during the pandemic era. Accordingly, the study recommended that business owners should ensure that a vibrant internal control system is put in place to aid management in effective control of the organization especially in pandemic era to ensure business survival.

Increasing Business Value for Stability in the Need Private Schools amidst Pandemic
Edgardo S. Delmo & Sheryl R. Morales – January 2022- Page No.: 136-139
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic struck every part of the world, disrupting every government economic mantle and not sparing the private or non-state education sector. In the Philippines, the Department of Education (DepEd) announced in September 2020 that 864 private schools were closed for the S.Y. 2020-2021 due to declining family income along with a 107-year-old Catholic school. With the current government policy of free Basic and Higher Education, the business value of the private education sector has declined over time. As a way forward, this theoretical research paper aims to provide a possible approach for the private education sector to modify its business value creation in this increasingly demanding valuation environment. The recommendation is that the private-own or non-state education sector must forge partnerships with organizations providing free and open-source platforms. Reevaluate to migrate from face-to-face classroom to online learning institution on a post-COVID world. Finally, seek government support made available for the private or non-state education sector enacting legislation that would allow funding for a blended learning system.

An Empirical Analysis of the Relationship between Net Migration and Macroeconomic Condition of Nigeria
Oluwaseun Temidayo Okikiola – January 2022- Page No.: 140-144
Nigeria is an important migration destination within the West African sub-region. However, over the past two (2) decades, the country has consistently recorded a negative net migration rate, implying a higher number of emigration than immigration. Drawing from the neoclassical and modern theories of migration, which highlight economic condition as a major factor in the decision to migrate, this paper seeks to empirically assess the relationship between the net migration pattern in Nigeria and the macroeconomic condition of the country over the past three (3) decades (from 1991 to 2020). Using the OLS regression analysis, the findings show a regression value (R2) of 0.847, which implies that the variables of macroeconomic condition (economic growth, real GDP per capita, unemployment rate, inflation rate, and current account balance) account for 85% of the variation in the net migration rate of the country. Among these variables, real GDP per capita and the unemployment rate were found to have a significant impact on net migration. However, the negative relationship between real GDP per capita and net migration rate shows that an increase in the prosperity of residents in Nigeria reduces the net migration rate.This suggests the existence and the need to deal with unequal distribution of income in the country, which limits the trickledown effect of an improved economy. Also, the positive relationship between the unemployment rate and net migration suggests the existence of other factors other than economic factors (as suggested by the modern theory of migration), which play a critical role in the decision to immigrate to or emigrate from Nigeria.

This study investigated the educational challenges of pupils with orthopaedic and visual impairment in primary schools in Sokoto Central Educational Zone of Sokoto State, Nigeria. A quantitative survey study design was employed for the study. The purposive sampling technique was used to select 72 pupils with orthopaedic impairment and 89 pupils with visual impairment, making it 161 respondents at one special school and 20 inclusive primary schools within Sokoto Central Educational Zone. An adapted structured questionnaire was used for data collection, while a simple percentage was used in analyzing the data. The studyꞌs findings revealed that there were insufficient learning materials for the pupils with orthopaedic and visual impairment, lack of specially trained teachers, inaccessible infrastructures among others. The Study recommended that a module on special need conditions and inclusive education should be made compulsory for that all teacher training programmes. The government and Universal Basic Education should colloborate with development partners to provide adequate structures, infrastructures and all other facilites to meet the educational need of pupils with orthopeadic and visual challenges.

Socio-demographic factors as correlate of post-traumatic stress disorder and social adjustment among amputees receiving treatment at the Federal Medical Centre, Keffi, Nasarawa State, Nigeria
Hussaini Yusuf ONAWO, Emmanuel Onu ALHASSAN, Oluwabunmi Hezekiah AJAYI – January 2022- Page No.: 154-159
The study investigated socio-demographic variables (age and gender) as correlates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and social adjustment among amputees at the Federal Medical Centre, Keffi. Adopting an ex- post factor research design, 50 amputee patients (M=33; F=17)- aged 17-72 years with a mean age of 40.02 and standard deviation of 14.213 – were recruited by means of purposive sampling technique to participate in the study. Data was collected using the PTSD scale and the Social Adjustment Scale. Four hypotheses were formulated and tested in the study. Findings indicated that there was a positive relationship between age and PTSD (r (48) = 0.327, P < 0.05). This implies that age has an influence on individual responses to traumatic events with an indication that the event of amputation tends to be more traumatic among younger age than older age individuals. The finding further indicated that there was a statistically significant relationship between older age and social adjustment (r (48) = 0.289, P < 0.05). The analysis further revealed a statistically significant difference between Males and Females (t (48) = -4.200, P < 0.05) on PTSD. Finally, results indicated that Males and Femalessocially adjust differently to traumatic situations (t (48) = -2.018, P < 0.05). The findings suggest that age and gender significantly predict post-traumatic stress disorder and social adjustment. The study therefore recommends that Government and NGOs as well as other care providers shouldmanage the mental health of amputees and individuals with similar conditions based on their demographic factors in addition to presenting signs and symptoms.

Work Engagement and Organizational Commitment among Catholic Religious Men and Women Working In Rural Areas: A Case of Lodwar Diocese in Turkana County, Kenya
Wambua Pius Muasa (PhD) – January 2022- Page No.: 160-165
Globally studies have shown work engagement to play a critical role on organizational commitment. However, there are limited studies when it comes to Catholic religious men and women working in rural areas. Due to this gap, the study aimed to examine the relationship between work engagement and organizational commitment among the Catholic religious men and women working in Lodwar Diocese, Kenya. The study adopted correlational design. Using census sampling, a sample size of 131 Catholic religious men and women were included in the study. The data was collected using the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale and Organizational Commitment Scale. Pre-testing of standardized instruments was carried out before the actual data collection to ensure its reliability and validity. The data was analyzed using correlational analysis using SPSS Version 32. The study found a weak negative association between vigour and continuance commitment (r=-0.07) and normative commitment (r=-0.07; p>0.05) in the study. However, energy and affective commitment had a weak positive connection (r=0.09; p>0.05). A weak positive association was found between dedication and affective commitment (r= 0.15; p>0.05), continuance commitment (r= 0.03), and normative commitment (r= 0.008; p<0.05), according to the study. Absorption and emotional commitment (r=0.04; p<0.05) and continuance commitment (r=0.08; p>0.05) had a weak positive connection. Finally, absorption and normative commitment had a weak negative connection (r=-0.02; p>0.05).

L. Sooriyakumaran, Dr. S. S. Thrikawala, C. Pathirawasam – January 2022- Page No.: 166-179
The purpose of the study was to identify the factors of financial management practices in SMEs background and to examine whether they impact on business performance of SMEs. A literature survey was carried out, and expert consultation was employed to develop this working paper. With the help of the literature survey and experts’ consultation, the association between financial management practices (FMP) and business performance (BP) was investigated. Accordingly, there were six indicators of financial management practices were identified in the literature namely; maintaining accounting records (MAR), financial reporting preparation and analysis (FRPA), accounting information system (AIS), working capital management (WCM), investment decision (ID) and financing (FIN). In addition, dependent variable of business performance. The literature evidenced that there are associations between FMP and BP in the SMEs. This includes positive, negative and no significant correlations or impact among variables of SMEs contributors. Accordingly, this study suggested a conceptual model for testing six hypotheses to examine the association between FMP and BP. Further, this study recommends an empirical study through explorative factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis to develop valid and reliable instruments to measure the FMP in the SMEs context. A path model was suggested to examine whether FMP influences BP in the SMEs background and further identify the moderating effect of demographic factors of gender and education level of financial management practitioners and business age of SMEs.

Internal Monitoring and Evaluation of Teaching in Secondary Schools of Kabwe District in Central Province, Zambia. Challenges and Possible solutions
Steven Lungu, Harrison Daka (PhD)- January 2022- Page No.: 180-186
This study aimed at investigating the challenges and possible solutions of conducting internal monitoring and evaluation of selected secondary schools teachers’ performance in Kabwe district. The study was conducted within the framework of mixed methodology using an embedded mixed design. The study collected data from 114 participants drawn from ten secondary schools in Kabwe district. The data was collected using questionnaires and interviews. The findings included the following challenges; minimal frequency of internal monitoring and evaluation, head teachers’ challenges of multiple roles, teachers’ divided attention between teaching in class and personal development, head teachers not being conversant with processes of monitoring and evaluation thus tended to be fault finding and intimidating in nature as opposed to providing constructive criticism and encouragement. The recommendations for addressing the challenges that emerged from the findings included; Head teachers to undergo training in educational management and administration, to increase frequency of internal monitoring and evaluation, roles of head teachers to be reduced to administration only, to introduce peer to peer monitoring, to encourage monitoring through intertwining of secondary schools in the district, and teachers to regularly attend Continuous Professional Development (CPD).

Qualitative Study of Child Maltreatment in Cameroon
Teke Johnson Takwa – January 2022- Page No.: 200-208
Child maltreatment sometimes referred to as child abuse and neglect, is a global problem with serious negative life-long consequences. Unfortunately very few studies have been carried on this issue in Cameroon. This study seeks to throw some light on this worrisome social ill focus group discussion. During these discussions children below 18 who have been or currently undergoing maltreatment were guided to talk about the definitions, types, causes, perpetrators and consequences of this worrisome but often hidden social ill. Various forms of malpractices on children such as sexual abuse, neglect, physical and emotional harm were mentioned as some of the ills perpetrated against them by step mothers, uncles, non-relatives and sometimes their parents. Even though the most frequent forms of these abuses varied from one region to another, some of them such as neglect, sexual abuse and physical harm were reported in almost all the regions. Early and forced marriage was declared by some discussants in the northern regions especially among the Moslem community. The reported causes of these ill-treatments are jealousy from childless step mothers, ignorance, false accusation of witchcraft and stealing, polygamy, poverty, consumption of alcohol and substance abuse. The consequences negatively affect all domains of a child’s life and haveresulted to delinquency, retarded development, HIV/AIDS infection, etc. The gravity of the issues discussed calls for further enquiries as well as solutions.

A Re-examination of the Origin and Cycle of Prophetic Movement in Israel
Nyoyoko, Vincent Gabriel, Essien, Stella Patrick- January 2022- Page No.: 209-217
The upsurge of interest in the prophetic ministry in the 20th and 21st centuries is one that cannot be ignored. Its ever increasing significance presents an imperative for the critical Bible reader to evaluate modern claims to the prophetic ministry/gift in the light of the scriptures. Thus, questions regarding the origin, essence, characteristics and form of the prophetic ministry in the Bible abound, as scholars seek to give clarification, interpretation and/or credence to what is practiced today. The questions that comes to the fore, however, are (1) is prophecy to be understood as a novel means through which Yahweh communicated with His people in the Judeo-Christian tradition, or as an adoption of a religious medium of communication that was already prevalent in the Ancient Near East? (2) Can it be said that the model of prophecy that is prevalent in the 21st century conforms to that of the Judeo-Christian tradition? This essay adopts the historical and phenomenological methods of research, and the research findings agree with modern study of psychology and history of religions which has shown that prophecy is not a phenomenon limited to Israel alone, thus, the origins of prophetism can be traced together with the origin of the Israelite nation; and that prophecy was a phenomenon that shed light on the history and philosophy of Israel as a nation, seeking to align Yahweh’s people with His sovereign will at all times, not a one-sided venture seeking to please the people by saying what they wished to hear as is practiced by many acclaimed prophets today. The conclusion drawn is that, more than any other time in history, the prophetic ministry of the Church needs to be revived, revamped, and redirected in the 21st century, especially in the post-Covid-19 Nigeria in which corruption, nepotism, and bad leadership are being heightened by the day. Only then would the renewed interest in the prophetic ministry be justified and salubrious to the nation, as long as it conforms to the rubrics and ethics of the prophetic ministry as revealed in the holy writ.

Coastal Erosion and Coastal Livelihood Activities in Ghana. A Case of Ada-Foahin the Greater Accra Region of Ghana
Emmanuel Agbenyegah Ayerteye – January 2022- Page No.: 218-226
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of coastal erosion and shoreline retreat on the livelihood activities of residents in the Ada-Foah area. To answer this research question, interview data were gathered from 30 participants comprising a sample of 20 residents of Ada-Foah, VRA, CDDF, NADMO, the District Assembly, the CRS, the Department of Wildlife, assemblymen, and chiefs, in connection with the major livelihood activities in the study area and how these have been impacted by erosion. From the data gathered, the major livelihood activities of the people in the study area were found to include: fishing, fish mongering, farming, salt mining, trading, and investment. Part of the data for answering this question was also obtained through field observation. The result of the study showed that coastal erosion has led to the loss of viable livelihood activities in the Ada-Foah areas creating survival problems for the coastal residents.

Teacher resources available to facilitate inclusive educational practices in pre-schools within Obio-Akpor in Nigeria
Chima-Uzosike Ngozi, Michael Subbey – January 2022- Page No.: 227-233
Education is one of the tools humanity uses to help in developing society through man. Since society needs the contributions of everyone in developing it, a lot of efforts are made through research and others to educate almost everybody in society in contributing to it. The mind of the individual has to be trained to a level that it would be beneficial to each member of the society.
In creating a better society, we could not depend on one person in carrying out the desired development else society or community would lag behind. Hence every person whether with any form of disability or not has to be developed to his/her full potential. Inclusive education has been internationally recognized as a philosophy for attaining equity, justice and quality education for all children, especially those who have been traditionally excluded from mainstream education for reasons of disability, ethnicity, gender or other characteristics (Nguyet & Ha, 2010).

Development of Defense Forces in the North Sulawesi Border Area as the Implementation of the Big Island Defense Strategy
Emir Zulkarnain Mokodompis, Wayan Nuriada, Joni Widjayanto- January 2022- Page No.: 241-247
Indonesia as an archipelagic country has a very wide border area, including North Sulawesi which borders the Sulawesi Sea, the Pacific Sea, and the Republic of the Philippines. Based on the characteristics of the border area of North Sulawesi which is an archipelago and the lack of monitoring infrastructure, the supervision carried out by the TNI is less than optimal, so that it becomes a gap for foreigners to enter illegally and also has the potential to become an entry point for other threats to state sovereignty. Based on this, this research was carried out with the aim of analyzing the development of defense forces in the North Sulawesi Border Region which needs to be implemented in the context of implementing the defense strategy of the big islands. The approach used is qualitative with data in the form of secondary data obtained from literature studies. Data analysis was carried out using qualitative descriptive analysis techniques. The results of the study stated that the development of defense forces in the border area of North Sulawesi must refer to the orientation to self-reliance of Sulawesi as a whole as one of the big islands which is the center of national defense. This can be realized by building food, water, energy reserves and national infrastructure facilities. In addition, in accordance with the condition of the border area in the form of an archipelago, it is also necessary to procure means of inter-island transportation that is intended for the implementation of the border control function. The development of defense forces also pays attention to four important aspects that must be considered, namely the budget aspect, setting practical targets, improving the quality of defense soldiers, and increasing deterrence.

Demographic Correlates of Deviance among Teachers in Public Secondary Schools in Nairobi County, Kenya
Magdalene Mwele, Stephen Asatsa (PhD), Simon Kang’ethe (PhD) – January 2022- Page No.: 248-253
Deviant behaviour is seen as a complex social and psychological phenomenon, associated with the way the person interacts with their environment. This would mean that deviant behaviour problem depends on the interaction between the personality and society. Deviant behaviour among teachers is in the rise assuming a global phenomenon. Although studies have been carried on deviant behaviours in school, majority of these researches are about students’ deviant behaviours sparing studies specifically on teachers’ deviance. Similarly, the approach used as an intervention measure to deviance is more punitive than supportive with skewed emphasis on disciplinary action and less focus on the psycho-social support. The purpose of this study was to assess the psychosocial correlates of deviant behaviour among teachers in public secondary school in Nairobi County. The study was guided by five research objectives namely to explore the motivation of deviant behaviours among teachers in public secondary schools, to determine the psychological correlates of deviant behaviour among teachers in public secondary schools, to determine the social correlates of deviance behaviour among teachers in public secondary schools, to examine the teacher’s perceptions towards the existing programs of managing psychosocial correlates of deviance among teachers in public and to establish the coping mechanisms used by teachers to deal with psychosocial correlates of deviance in public secondary schools. The study was anchored on two theoretical frameworks namely the Self-determination theory (SDT) and the Transactional Model and adopted the mixed methods embedded research design. The target population was 2387. Simple random sampling technique was used to select the 343 teachers, while purposive sampling was used to select the 30 principals and automatic inclusion technique to select those to participate in interview schedules. Quantitative data were collected using two standardized questionnaires namely the Multidimensional scaling toolwith reliability coefficient of 0.925. Qualitative data were collected using two interview guides for Principals (supervisors) and those participants who reported high level of deviance. Data analysis was done using Statistical package for Social Science, correlation analysis and thematic analysis backed by narratives. The study established positive significant correlation on deviance across psychological, social and demographic factors like, age and experience of the teachers. The study further established higher deviance among the less experienced teachers than those with more years of service. The results further showed that there was no significant correlation on deviance and gender. These findings may be relevant in designing future interventions for teachers with deviant behaviour and could enhance and complement the existing interventions. The study recommended further research on correlation on remuneration and deviance. The study recommended Psycho-social support programs be established by the employer to address deviance among teachers rather than disciplinary procedures as it is the practice currently in Kenya.

Social Correlates of Deviant Behavior among Teachers in Public Secondary Schools in Nairobi County, Kenya
Magdalene Mwele, Virginia Nyagah (PhD), Simon Kangethe (PhD) – January 2022- Page No.: 254-260
Globally, deviant behavior is found to be a social challenge which has created different problems in the present society. With respect to school setting, the behavioral deviancy of teachers has attracted considerable attention of researchers and educationalists. This study therefore assessed demographic correlates of deviant behavior among teachers in public secondary schools in Nairobi County, Kenya. The study was guided by Self-determination theory and Transactional Models. The survey research design was adopted for the study. The target population was 2387 comprising of 2291 teachers. A total sample of 385 participants were selected using simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using modified workplace deviance scale and social correlates questionnaire. Data was analyzed using univariate analysis, and Pearson correlation analysis. From the findings teachers deviance had the highest on the sabotage domain (mean=3.0429; SD=1.09429) while the subscale of gossip had the lowest mean (mean=2.9898; SD=1.13283).On social correlates, workload had the greatest contribution to deviant behavior (mean=2.3507; SD=.86610) while responsibility had the lowest contribution to deviant behavior (mean=2.0442; SD=.73774).The findings indicate that teachers’ workload had high impact on their deviance behavior. This implies that education stake holders ought to engage teachers on the area of workload in order to define the appropriate optimum work that teachers should hold. This will help in reducing deviance and improving productivity.

Enterprise Risk Management and Banks’ Financial Performance: Evidence from West African Countries
Dr. Augustine C. Odubuasi, Dr. Felix Enaibre Ighosewe & Dr. Nkechi T. Ofor- January 2022- Page No.: 268-272
This paper studied the effect of enterprise risk management (ERM) on bank performance in three selected African countries over a study period of ten years spanning from 2009 to 2018. The study covered selected banks in Ghana, South Africa and Nigeria. The regressor is ERM measured by strategy, operation, reporting & compliance while the regressed is bank performance measured by return on equity. Also, we controlled for firm size and leverage. The data generated were analysed using Stata 13 version, which assisted the use of some analytical techniques.. Panel regressionanalysis was conducted alongside Hausman effect test which indicated the better model that was interpreted between Random Effect (RE) and fixed effect (FE) models. As specified by the Hausman test, the FE model was used for model 1 while the random effect model was used to test model 2. The result revealed that enterprise risk management on the overall has a positive significant effect on bank performance provided it takes into consideration control variables like financial leverage and firm size. Hence, the study concludes that, ERM is instrumental to improved banks’ financial performance (ROE). As such, regulatory authorities should come up with legislation(s) that should enforce and strengthen the enactment of enterprise risk management across banks in the study area.

Transmission and spread of STIs and RTIs among Youths’ in Higher Learning Institutions and Neighbors Villages in Mbeya City, Tanzania
Dr Kibani L. H, Mr Matem A. & Dr Mwangosi F – January 2022- Page No.: 280-287
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are diseases often spread from person to person through sexual contact. The infections cause sexually transmitted diseases and Reproductive Tract Infections (RTIs). It has been well established that risk sexual behaviors among youths significantly influences their reproductive and general health. This study therefore investigated on the spread and transmission of sexual transmitted and reproductive tract infections to three Higher Learning Institutions (HLIs) and Neighbor Village Youths (NVYs) in Mbeya district Tanzania. The study aimed at identifying the social interaction, sexual behaviors, knowledge on impact of sexual transmitted infections, influence of physical environment and future plan of HLIs and NVYs. The study was guided by two theories, social learning theory in particular ‘Social Psychology Theory’ and the ‘Theory of Possible Selves’. The study included 210 HLIs and 100 NVYs all aged between 18-30 years. Youths were randomly sampled from their areas. Data collection methods included survey questionnaires, focus group discussion and documentary review. The study employed a random sampling procedure. A cross-sectional research design was adopted. Thematic and descriptive statistical analysis were employed. The results were as follows: Social interaction among youths of both sides, higher learning institutions and neighbor villages has negative impact since it creates vulnerability to STIs/RTIs/HIV infections. Youths were found engaging much in risk social behaviors which in turn lead them to reproductive complications such as abortions, PID, unplanned pregnancies, single parent childcare, academic dropout, poor academic achievement and the whole issue of personal and public underdevelopment socially, healthily and mentally. Results shows that youths lack clear knowledge about STIs and RTIs but were familiar with HIV/AIDS however, they were fearing of getting pregnancies rather than infections. Village youths’ future plans were about getting money and become rich person while higher learning institutions youths planned to get employment after graduating, to get nice houses and becoming somebody. In general risky sexual behaviors such as love affairs, unprotected sexes, multiple partners, luxurious lives, lack of knowledge, poverty, homeless, poor socio-economic status, low income, inherited western cultures and poor use of mobile networking among youths found as key contributors of spread and transmission of STIs/RTIs and HIV/AIDS in Mbeya district. The study recommend for collaborative effort between varied stakeholders in educating and giving supportive services to youths to improve their health and wellbeing.

Impact of Infrastructure Investment on Economic Growth in Nigeria: An Autoregressive Distributed Lag Approach
Irene Olanma Onwuemeka, Uche Collins Nwogwugwu and Emmanuel Onwuka – January 2022- Page No.: 288-298
This study examined the relationship between government spending on economic infrastructure and economic growth in Nigeria from 1989 to 2018. Real gross domestic product was used to proxy economic growth and was specified as a function of government spending on transport and communication, government spending on power and employment rate (as a proxy for the classical theory of labour force).The Autoregressive Distributed Lag Bounds method to co-integration was chosen to ascertain the impact and the long-run relationship between the dependent and independent variables. The short-run and long-run results showed that government spending on power exerted a positive but insignificant effect on Nigeria’s RGDP. However, government spending on transport and communication had a positive relationship in the short-run but negative relationship in the long-run. Furthermore, the Causality results showed a uni-directional causality running from RGDP to GEXP and EMP to GEXTC but there was no evidence to support the existence of causality between the remaining pairs of variable. It is recommended that in order for Nigeria to achieve infrastructure development success, it is important that the government redirect excessive revenue in the maintenance of government official to these pivotal sectors of the economy with a view to monitoring the implementation after disbursing funds to the affected ones to subsequently trigger economic growth.

With the Covid 19 pandemic, the IT infrastructure requirements were increased island wide in all sectors. The pandemic has become an eye opener for many industries and new strategic imperatives were implemented. The pandemic encouraged most of the industries to trial telecommuting strategy and the majority of the companies moved to the remote working concept. Especially in the IT sector telecommuting has become new normal after the first wave of the corona pandemic in Sri Lanka. Most likely, most IT organizations will stick to giving their employees the opportunity of remote work even if the pandemic is over. However, there could be gaps in telecommuting practices and the productivity of employees by remote work is still questionable. This paper provides an opportunity to have a basic understanding on the gaps of the telecommuting practices and how they could affect the employee productivity. The reviews from different papers and articles on telecommuting practices at the global level and in the Sri Lankan context are also included in this study The literature review emphasize the empirical discussions related to the IT sector both internationally and locally about the challenges and the suggestions which other researchers made. Finally, the paper concludes by discussing the overall reviews and by making suggestions to overcome the situation in the long run, and also highlighting the further research areas related to the topic.

Financial Management, Project Monitoring and Evaluation and Sustainability of Youth Income Generating Projects in Kiambu County, Kenya
Nyaga G. Juster- January 2022- Page No.: 304-311
For Kenya to change from middle to a developed economy, sustainable income generating projects have to be embraced. Sustainability of income generating projects has attracted support from various players in terms of educating community on techniques for financial management and tools for project monitoring and evaluation. However, majority of the income generating projects have been collapsing two years after implementation and others to not produce the expected impact to the youth, hence a need to carry out a study to determine the influence of financial management and monitoring and evaluation on project sustainability. The study was based on contingency theory to inform the relationship which exist in proper management of the projects in terms of financial and monitoring and evaluation to ensure sustainable operations. Since the population was small, all the forty-three active youth income generating projects operating in Kiambu County were targeted. For validity and reliability five youth income generating projects in Murang’a County were used for pilot testing. The questionnaire which was sent via emails to the respondents and which contained semi-structured questions were used to collect primary data. Data were normally distributed with Shapiro-Wilk test which gave significant values greater than 0.5 and VIF of less than 10 indicated lack of multicollinearity. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics mainly mean and standard deviation and the relationship was determined using multiple regression model. The study will be of beneficial to youth income generating groups’ leaders, County government funding departments and donors by enhancing knowledge on how to bridge the gaps related to financial management and monitoring and evaluation. The study found that financial management and Monitoring and evaluation have a positive effect on the sustainability of youth income generating projects in Kiambu County. The study recommended that the National and County Government agencies involved in youth empowerment should provide the youth groups with comprehensive, quality and convenient training on financial management and on project monitoring and evaluation of projects to ensure sustainable income generating projects. Frequency of monitoring and evaluation should be enhanced so as to seek feedback and arrest any problem which may lead to project failure.

Adolescents’ Sexual and Reproductive Health Behavior Amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic in Lurambi Sub-County, Kakamega, Kenya: The Impact of Prior Knowledge
Ooko, S, Okoth, A.W, Kariaga, M. G, Namazzi, E, Barasa, Achoka, J.S.K, Opiyo. A., Elizabeth Omukunda, Njeru, F., Dipondo, J. and Ursula Samoei- January 2022- Page No.: 312-322
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines adolescents as persons between the age of 10 and 19 years, a majority fitting the age-based definition of a “child” by the Convention on the Child’s Rights. Adolescents go through significant physical, physiological, and psychosocial changes from childhood to adulthood during this period. There are indications that during the COVID-19 pandemic, adolescents experienced a myriad of challenges as reported by various forms of media. These challenges included teenage pregnancies/ motherhood and early marriages amongst girls, drug and substance abuse, and other social deviancies that came with devastating consequences, notably a surge in school dropout, which shuttered their dreams for a better future. During the outreach activities by the African Women in Science and Engineering (AWSE), MMUST chapter, a gap for research in the realm of Sexual and Reproductive Health of adolescents was established, necessitating this study. The objective guided the study: To establish the adolescents’ prior Knowledge on Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH) and how this Knowledge shaped their behavior in the wake of the Covid-19 Pandemic. The study adopted a Mixed Methods Research (MMR) approach, drawing on the strengths of both quantitative and qualitative paradigms.
A total of 340 adolescents formed the study sample, and the sampling techniques employed were multi-stage, purposive, stratified, and simple random sampling. The data collection tools included questionnaires, interviews schedules, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). Data was collected on the ASRH knowledge base and their behavior within the period of the Covid-19 Pandemic. This was done conscious of the various demographic parameters that are likely to influence adolescents’ knowledge and behavior, such as parents’ level of education and occupation; Faith of the family, and the gender of the adolescent, among others. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using SPSS version 20. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically and used in triangulating quantitative findings. Results showed that 90% of adolescents had Knowledge of sexual and reproductive health, an indication that there was a10% knowledge gap. Significant differences were recorded across gender (Chi=4.715, p=0.030); age (Chi=8.775, p=0.012); religion (Chi=10.204, p=0.017) and education level (Chi=14.338, p=0.008), among others. Results further showed that Knowledge on ASRH had a positive impact on adolescents’ behavior as a smaller proportion (34.3%) of those with the Knowledge engaged in sexual relationships, compared to 42.9% of those without the Knowledge. Whereas they had Knowledge of sexual and reproductive health, it was evident that this did not translate to better behavior as manifested in a surge in unsafe abortions, failure to embrace contraception, and inability to seek appropriate medical care. In this vain, the study recommends empowerment of youth through developing education programs that focus on the needs of adolescent sexual reproductive health and development and implementation of appropriate regulatory frameworks and policies to mitigate the risks and challenges adolescents encounter.

Influence of Peer Pressure and Parenting Styles on Criminal Thinking among Secondary School Students in AMAC
AMBROSE, Irene Ugochinyere, BAHIJJA, Tanko Kasim & AJAYI, Oluwabunmi Hezekiah- January 2022- Page No.: 323-331
This study examined influence of peer pressure and parenting style on criminal thinking among secondary school students in Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC). Using a cross-sectional survey design, 350 secondary school students in AMAC were systematically sampled as participants across Government Secondary School Gwarimpa Life Camp and Government Secondary School Jabi, (AMAC). Peer Pressure and Popularity Scale, Parental Care Scale (PCS) and Criminal Thinking Scale were used for data collection. Three hypotheses were formulated and tested using Simple Linear Regression and multiple linear regressions. Findings of the study revealed that peer pressure had significant influence on criminal thinking (R= .325, R2= .106, F (1,348) =41.200, P<.01) among secondary school students in AMAC. Result further reviewed that parenting style had significant influence on criminal thinking (R= .329, R2= .108, F (3,346) =14.032, P<.01) among secondary school students in AMAC. The result further revealed that permissive parenting style (β=.307, P<.01) had the most significant independent influence on criminal thinking followed by authoritarian parenting (β=.215, P<.01) while authoritative parenting (β=-.069, P>.01) had no significant independent influence on criminal thinking among secondary school students in Abuja Municipal Area Council AMAC. Finally, it was revealed that, there was significant joint influence of peer pressure and parenting styles on criminal thinking (R=.496, R2=.246, F (4,345) =28.127, P<.01) among secondary school students in Abuja Municipal Area Council. The researcher concluded that peer pressure and parenting styles independently and jointly influence criminal thinking among secondary school students in AMAC. The researcher therefore recommended that effort should be made by the school authority to encourage and educate students to understand people they interact with so that they will not be pressured by bad friends to think or indulge in criminal acts. Parents should be made to understand and maintain the styles they bring their children up that will help in relating with their children so as to free them from been criminally-minded.

Accountability during the Incorporation of Public and Private Limited Companies under Ohada Law
Merinda Afanui Sama – January 2022- Page No.: 332-337
This work sets out to evaluate the OHADA Uniform Act’s laws on accountability in Private and Public Limited Companies. Normally, laws which provide for effective
accountability, guarantee the smooth functioning and stability of companies since its rules work at averting all forms of mismanagements. The inspiration of this work stems from the realization that, levels of accountability in these companies are still wanting. Hitherto, companies are plagued with vices of obscured activities, fake transactions, non-transparent reporting and acute dishonesty by its organs. It is therefore baffling that, these are still prevalent despite the existence of the Uniform Act’s laws which contains accountability mechanism aimed at dispelling all these forms of corporate transgressions. From this arose lingering doubts as to how these laws are.
This leads one to the assumption that, these laws are not efficacious in guaranteeing the effectiveness of this aspect of corporate governance. What then are these techniques and how effective are they? This work highlights and analyses these mechanisms and evaluates the extent of their efficacy. We therefore propose that, these mechanisms be reviewed and amended to be more authoritative, unequivocal, specific, realistic and punitive such that, they will ensure better levels of rendering accountability. In consequence, these companies shall flourish, achieve their desired objectives, experience maximum productivity and generate more profit.

Parenting Styles as Correlates of In-School Adolescents’ Sexual Behaviour in Cross-River and Akwa-Ibom States of Nigeria
Catherine Katanyi Oshie & Prof. Happiness, Ihuoma Igbo – January 2022- Page No.: 338-345
The study investigated the relationship between parenting styles and in-school adolescents’ sexual behavior in Cross-River and Akwa-Ibom States of Nigeria. The study looked at the prevalent sexual behaviors among in-school adolescents, the relationship between authoritative parenting style, permissive parenting style, and in-school adolescents’ sexual behaviors. Three specific objectives with corresponding research questions guided the study, and two hypotheses were formulated and tested at a 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted a correlation research design. The population for the study comprises all 68 226 senior secondary school students (SS1 to SS3) in the 722 public secondary schools in Cross-River and Akwa-Ibom States of Nigeria. The sample size for the study was 385 students who were selected using proportionate stratified and convenience sampling techniques. The instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire titled “Parenting Styles and Adolescents’ Sexual Behaviour Questionnaire (PSASBQ). Three experts validated the questionnaire, and its reliability was established using the Cronbach Alpha method, which yielded a coefficient of 0.79. Data collected for the study were analyzed using Means, Standard Deviation, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. Findings of the study revealed that the prevalent sexual behaviors among in-school adolescents in Cross-River and Akwa-Ibom States include: watching videos/movies, magazines, and pictures of naked men and women, kissing, having oral and sexual intercourse with the opposite gender, and stimulating self-genital organ for sexual pleasure. The findings also revealed that authoritative parenting style had no significant relationship with in-school adolescents’ sexual behaviors. Further, it was revealed that permissive parenting style was significantly related to in-school adolescents’ sexual behaviors. The study concluded that adoption of a parenting style like that of authoritative could lower in-school adolescents’ involvement in sexual behaviors. At the same time, permissive make in-school adolescents vulnerable to sexual behaviors that can ruin their lives. The study recommended that Counsellors establish centers for “Parenting Therapy” where parents will be acquainted with tools needed to function optimally within their family unit and bring up their children in such a manner that discourages early involvement in sexual behaviors.

Anugrah Adiastuti, Heri Hartanto, Adriana Grahani Firdaussy – January 2022- Page No.: 346-353
The development of tourism especially in marine tourism has been rocketed steadily year by year. This situation also happened in Indonesia.

Even though the income from tourism sector is quite promising but there is a widespread consensus that tourism growth especially in marine tourism should be sustainable. A number of threats that marine tourism shall be sustained, for instance unoptimized fisheries management, human impacts to coral reefs, substantial loss of mangroves especially in coastal development area, and the crucial thing about waste and plastic litter which impacts to ecosystems, community, and all related sectors. This writing analyse on the necessity of tourism regulation that matter to sustainable marine tourism. This research uses normative legal research which is a research design that examines the aspect of theories, concepts, legal principles, and regulations/legislations where relate to certain topics of this research which mainly focus in analyzing the matter of existing regulation to maintain the implementation of sustainable marine tourism in Berau Regency, East Borneo Province. Tourism regulation is required for sustainable tourism because it endows certainty on environmental protection, as legal basis for government officers/agencies in conducting action prevention and repressive action in connection with law enforcement, provide legal certainty on authority sharing between central government and regional government, and prevent overlapping jurisdiction but alongside each other making synergy and coordination must be held by inter and intra institution. As result, regulation either from central government and/or regional government, on marine tourism especially in Berau Regency, contributes to the obedience and law enforcement of to all parties who are interconnected to tourism sector.

Issues in Rural Development and Management Theories: A Review
Owigho Ogheneovo and Eromedoghene Ezekiel Ovoh- January 2022- Page No.: 354-361
The notion of people’s engagement in rural development is gaining attraction in Nigeria as a key tool for mobilizing resources and organizing the rural populace to have invested interests in their own well-being. Governments at all levels, including the federal, state, and local levels, have accepted that “traditional democratic philosophy,” which promotes rural people’s active engagement in decision-making and policies implementation that touch and shape their lives, has an intrinsic mandate. This article provides a survey that reveals specific strategies to modernize and correct the rural development model based on both local and international practice. Analyzing the theoretical and Management side of rural areas’ steady development, the association between a variety of rural economy structures and rural areas’ multifunction character is discovered, necessitating the diversification of rural economies through the stimulation of numerous organizations. It has been established that the rural economy is a complex socioeconomic system, with object-subject connectivity influencing its diversification. In general, the review concludes that, in addition to emphasizing the need to compliment the theory behind the new rural development theory with new interpretations that help us with better understanding about rural development. This study establishes a different rural development definition and recommended global best practice using smart growth development as a necessary step in rural people management.

Strategy of Universal War:Padri War in The Face of the Netherlands inMinangkabau in 1803-1838
Abdur Rahim, Sutrimo Sumarlan, Arief Rachman- January 2022- Page No.: 362-366
This article discusses the Strategy of The Padri War in the face of the Netherlands in Minangkabau, which took place in the early 17th century, precisely from 1803 to 1838. The historical background of the Padri War began with religious and customary issues, but the final period of the Padri war on the own consciousness of the Padri and the Indigenous people turned into jointly against the Netherlands. This war became a place of resistance of the Minangkabau people against Netherlands invaders led by several prominent figures known as The Tiger Nan Salapan. The last period of the Padri war in 1830-1837, which was a war between the coalition of indigenous peoples and padri against the Netherlands, received its own assessment from the Netherlands. The Netherlands recognized that the Padri war was a difficult enough war for the Netherlands to win, and it became a record for the Netherlands that the Padri war was the longest war in Netherlands history. Guerrilla warfare strategy supported by the full force of indigenous people and Padri in the war overwhelmed the Netherlands forces, resulting in many casualties. After 35 years of Netherlands fighting against Padri forces, then Minangkabau can be controlled by the Netherlands, Tuanku Imam Bonjol as warlord Padri captured then on January 19, 1839 exiled to Ambon, then in 1841 transferred to Manado until his death on November 6, 1864.

Ikegwuru, Mac-Kingsley (PhD), Elekwachi, Happiness Nwanyi- January 2022- Page No.: 367-372
The implementation of effective and efficient knowledge management practices stands as one of the most important dynamics for improving information technology competency. This dynamic has significant role in increasing information technology competence in public universities. Hence, implementation of appropriate knowledge management practices will influence information technology competency. This study therefore, investigates the influence of knowledge management on information technology competency of public universities in Rivers State of Nigeria. The target population for the study comprised all teaching staff from three universities within Rivers State. The total population of academic staff of the three universities combined as at December, 2017, was 2,517. The sample size of teaching staff studied was determined by the use of the formula developed by Taro Yamane (1967) and Krecjie and Morgan (1970). The study used simple random sampling and stratified sampling to decide on respondents from each of the universities, and a total of 365 respondents were obtained from the public universities studied. Primary data were processed using simple regression analysis, and the findings of the study revealed that, knowledge generation, knowledge transfer and knowledge codification and storage have a very strong, positive and significant influence on information technology competency. The study therefore concludes that, knowledge management significantly influence information technology competency, and recommends that university management should sensitize their teaching staff on knowledge generation, knowledge transfer and knowledge codification and storage standard being applied in their relevant institutions and channel them all the way through their profession conduit to attract an efficacious information technology competency process.

Towards Achieving Quality in Distance Higher Education Teaching and Learning: Experiences from Zimbabwe
George N. Shava, Siphumuzile Hleza, Mlisa Jasper Ndlovu, Paradzai P. Makokoro, Faith Tlou – January 2022- Page No.: 373-381
Zimbabwe has managed to respond to the movement in support of UNESCO’s lifelong learning concept and strategy that seeks to widen and deepen access to higher education through distance education initiatives. Despite the significant increase in students enrolling in distance education institutions, the gold standard of excellence that is sought by many nations has gradually been compromised. There are symptoms of a downward trend in terms of quality in open distance learning institutions. The qualitative study analysed major factors affecting the provision of quality distance higher education with specific reference to the Zimbabwe Open University, the sole provider of university distance education in Zimbabwe. The study focused on three Zimbabwe Open University regional centres in Zimbabwe. The paper seeks to identify major factors contributing to the declining quality of distance education and discusses measures that distance education providers in Zimbabwe can undertake in order to promote excellence for effective learning in the 21st century. The study established that several factors are affecting the quality of distance education in Zimbabwe. The lack of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) facilities at regional and district centres was a major hindrance to effective teaching and learning

Life in a Pandemic: Some Reflections from The Plague (1947) and the COVID-19 Pandemic
Melchor L. Cuizon, Nympha C. Cuizon- January 2022- Page No.: 382-385
Human existence is a continual struggle against various kinds of calamities including infectious diseases like the COVID-19 virus that threatens the vulnerability of human life. It has affected humanity throughout the globe who are either hungry due to financial crisis or hospitalized or even killed because of the virus infections. This enduring threat continues to persist as long as the holding sway of the coronavirus remains unresolved. It is no accident that the pandemic of the century mirrors The Plague (1947) of Albert Camus in which both catastrophic events challenged the social order and the vulnerability of human life. Although the health crisis exists in a different period in the history of mankind, nevertheless, the existential crisis it has created has no different. This paper aims to (1) highlight some of the similar events in both pandemics and (2) argue that the pandemic can be an avenue for religious introspection.

Does External Debts Promote Sustainable Economic Development in Developing Countries?
James Daniel Chindengwike- January 2022- Page No.: 392-400
External debts is one of the major sources of revenue to developing nations that normally do not have an enough industrial support and is illustrated by a small human development index. The aim of this paper is to test whether external debts promote sustainable economic development in developing countries or not. The study opted a time series data research design where by secondary data were used. This study used economic data from 1999-2020 financial years (Quarterly data). The study involved 80 observations. Kenya was purposively sampled to be used as research area of this study. The data collected from different reliable sources which included the International Financial Statistics (IFS), World Bank’s Statistical Database, The Treasury of Kenya, Ministry of Devolution and Planning and the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics. The results of the study revealed that there is long – term associations between external debts and sustainable economic development with P- Value of 0.0001. Another finding revealed that there is statistical significantly in all other macro-economic variables in the predictable direction with P- Value of 0.0011, except broad inflation and money that have vague signs. In short-run revealed that external debts affect statistically significance economic development with a negative direction P- Value of 0.0064. The study recommends that the government should think about adopting other sources of finance articulate via taxation and reduce borrowing outside to minimize assistance from developed nations. The government should also assign extra resources to savings in human capital education as efficiently labor has the effect of promoting sustainable economic development crosswise all models in the short run. Particularly population expansion rate should be proscribed through increasing utilize of social services such as family planning or sensitization to reduce support pressure on imperfect resources which deject economic development.

Wambua Pius Muasa (PhD)- January 2022- Page No.: 401-406
Ministry burnout is a global issue of concern among Church ministers across the world. Studies have shown that majority of Church ministers leave ministry prematurely due to burnout which in turn affects their commitment to the Church. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between spirituality and organizational commitment among the Catholic religious men and women working in Lodwar Diocese. The study adopted correlational research design. A sample size of 131 Catholic religious men and women were selected using census sampling method. The data was collected using Spirituality Scale and Organizational Commitment Scale. Pre-testing of the standardized instruments was carried out before the actual data collection to ensure its reliability and validity. The data was analyzed for correlational analysis using SPSS Version 32. The results showed weak positive relationship between self-discovery and continuance commitment r= 0.009; p<0.05) and normative commitment (r=0.19; p>0.05). On the other hand, there was no significant relationship between self-discovery with continuance commitment (r=-0.058; p>0.05) and normative commitment (r= -0.033; p>0.05). Also, there was no significant relationship between Eco-awareness with continuance commitment (r=-0.018; >0.05) and normative commitment (r=0.071; p>0.05).

Climate Change, Farmer-Herders Conflicts and Food Security in Nigeria
Gospel Nukoaka Lebari, PhD, Ferguson Amaobi Onuegbu, PhD & Sunday Adeniran – January 2022- Page No.: 407-413
There is emerging consensus that climate has been changing. This change in the global climate has shown the capacity to threaten several aspects of global, regional and national life, among which is security and agriculture (food security). Thus, in Nigeria, the climate crisis appears to have exposed farmers and herders to frequent conflicts, and because the indigenous farmers grow the locally produced food and the herders, on the other hand, rear most of the animals that serve as meat (particularly beef), any conflict between these two places food security under threat. The study sought to: examine the role of climate change on the heightened farmers-herders conflict in Nigeria; and, explore the implications of climate change impacts on farmers-herders conflicts on Nigeria’s food security. The study was guided by the eco-violence theory, which examines the inter-relationship between environmental changes and possible conflict situations. Data were derived from secondary sources that include journal articles, texts and books. The study established that climate change plays a great role in the frequent violent conflicts that have become a constant in farmer-herders relations in recent years and that these conflicts affect the country’s agricultural output and food security negatively. The study recommends that the Nigerian state should transit from traditional agricultural system to Climate-Smart Agriculture to meet future needs, as well as build modern (public) ranches with the best of technologies in the Sahel region, to discourage nomadic herding.

Asep Gunawan, Deni D.A.R, Priyanto, Helda Risman – January 2022- Page No.: 414-419
This research aim was to obtain empirical and analytical data on substantive and important issues from the implementation of civil-military cooperation in tackling the Covid-19 pandemic. The research method and approach used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques carried out through observation, interviews, literature studies, as well as focus group discussions (FGD). The findings from the study indicate that TNI and Civilian cooperation in tackling the Covid-19 pandemic is quite effective, although there are still obstacles in dealing with natural disasters, in the form of a limited budget, infrastructure, quality of personnel, sectoral ego between agencies, and low public awareness. in handling the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, what needs to be done in collaboration between ministries and related institutions is strengthening coordination, communication, and collaboration on budgets, facilities, personnel embodied in the MoU. The results in this study were also obtained through the compatibility between the ideals built with real conditions in the field which were different from previous studies. This is the novelty resulting from this research.

Islamic Assessment of the Effects of Alcoholism on the Muslim Drunkards in Nasarawa State, Nigeria
Dr. Abdullahi Adamu Sulaiman, Dr. Aliyu Umar, Dr. Yahya Sulaiman- January 2022- Page No.: 420-436
Alcohol is undoubtedly harmful and adversely affects the mind and the body. It beclouds the mind, causes diseases, wastes money and destroys individuals, families and communities. Researchers have proven that there is a strong link between alcohol and gambling. Alcohol creates enmity and hatred between people, prevents them from remembering Allah (SWT) and distracts them from praying, and calls them to participate in unlawful relationships. The aim of this study is eliminate or reduce to the barest minimum the intake of alcohol in Nasarawa State particularly among the Muslim youth. The study asks the following questions: what is the perception, extent of consumption, effects and the remedy to alcohol consumption among the Muslim drunkards in Nasarawa State, Nigeria. Consequently, with problems of such magnitude, it is clear that even the most effective treatment programs for alcohol dependence cannot possibly constitute an adequate response. The methodology of the study is the use of questionnaires to collect data. Moreover, treatment approaches have had only limited success in this field, and there is much concern at present about their cost-effectiveness even when they are successful. In the light of all these considerations and being the first study ever conducted that covers the whole Nasarawa state in Nigeria, it appears inescapable that the major focus of efforts to reduce alcohol related problems must be on the area of primary prevention which had been unequivocally advocated by Islam over 1400 years ago.

Curriculum Implementation in Zambia: Best Practices of Bridging the Gap between the Intended and the Achieved School Curriculum
Robert Changwe & Christine Mwanza- January 2022- Page No.: 437-443
Curriculum implementation is part and parcel of the curriculum development process. When curriculum developers intend to develop a curriculum, they are expected to put in place ways and means of having it implemented. Once this is ignored, all the good efforts and aspirations of curriculum developers as well as of the general public risk being wasted and misrepresented. Therefore, a very good curriculum is worthless if it cannot bring about the results of what it was intended for. Based on studies that have been done both locally and internationally, the authors of this paper attempted to give an analysis of barriers that may render a well-developed curriculum useless if appropriate remedies or simply best practices of bridging the gap between the intended and achieved curriculum are neglected in the education system of the country. Due to several impediments to the effective implementation of the school curriculum, it was recommended that the Zambian government needed to put in place best practices that would improve the quality of Zambian education by providing adequate funding to the education sector and this will in turn lead to the country’s economic development. There was also a need for the Ministry of General Education to consider improving; the quality and quantity of the teaching staff, availability of school facilities and equipment as well as ensuring that time is appropriately managed for the good management of the curriculum.

An Empirical Study of Training and Development as a Pathway to Leadership
ONASANYA Opeyemi O. – January 2022- Page No.: 448-455
Training and development is a very key function of Human resources, it has been noted to be a pathway to leadership in all spheres of life. The objective of this study is to establish the fact that Training and Development is a stepping stone or pathway to attaining leadership. The specific objectives assessed how impactful training and development is to employee’s performance and also examined the relationship between training/development and leadership. Primary data was gathered from a sample population of 219 out of which a sample size of 141 was determined using Yamane 1967 formula. The data analysis/ research instrument used was descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. Findings show that despite the fund expended on employees for training and development, job security is not guaranteed. Other competing firms not knowing how an employee acquire a particular skill lures them with good pay and other fringe benefits just to have them in their own organization. In conclusion, employers are encouraged to provide job security and a good succession plan for employee the same way they are interested in training and developing them. It was recommended that employers should not spend their funds on training and developing employees only to lose them to competitors, therefore, employees should be prepared for greater responsibilities after training and development for a good succession plan.

Governance, Ethnicity, and Response to Conflicts: Deficit to Sustainable Development in Nigeria
Osondu Chukwudi Solomon – January 2022- Page No.: 456-462
Nigeria has never been more divided in its history along ethnic and religious lines than it is today. Not even in the period preceding the Nigeria-Biafra war was Nigeria faced with the level of internal dysfunction, disorder, fear and real challenge to the continued existence of the country as it is presently constituted. Internal conflicts have spread to areas hitherto believed to be insulated, the Nigeria Middle Belt or the North Central Nigeria. The current situation has raised ethnic and religious tensions, and internal security concerns to an unprecedented and unpredictable level. There seems to be a general feeling that anything can happen any time to the Nigeria project. For over a decade, the menace of the Islamist terrorism has crippled economic and social activities in the North Eastern part of Nigeria. Currently, the activities of the Fulani Herders, especially in the North Central Nigeria or the Middle Belt, pose grave danger to the future of Nigeria. Most of the states of the North Central Nigeria form the food basket of the country. The Fulani Herders have killed thousands of farmers and sacked many farming towns and communities. These activities have shown to pose serious danger to sustainable development and indeed the corporate existence of Nigeria. But the government weak response to these recent coordinated attacks by the Fulani herders against the Tivs and other ethnic groups in the Middle Belt states who are mostly Christians tends to accentuate an ethno-religious perceptions of government bias in favour of the Fulani Herders who incidentally are Muslims. The conflicts, the government lack-lustre responses, and the perceptions of the various ethno-religious groups at the receiving end of these conflicts, constitute sure setbacks to national development. This paper, therefore, interrogates the Nigerian Government’s response to conflicts in some parts of the country and concludes that these responses tend to justify the perception that the government is pursuing an ethno-religious agenda. The paper goes on to further hold that current situation is a deficit to sustainable development in the short run, and the continued existence of Nigeria in the long run. It finally tries to make recommendations on actions that may reinvigorate the Nigeria project and enhance sustainable development.

Effect of Study Skills on Low Academic Self-Concept among Secondary School Students of Gombe Local Government Area of Gombe State
Chinyere Catherine Ngwakwe and Lydia I. Dabo- January 2022- Page No.: 463-471
This paper investigated the effect of study skills on low academic self-concept among secondary school students in Gombe local government area. One research question was posed and one hypothesis formulated to guide the study. The design of the study is experimental research design. The population of the students with low academic self-concept is 1110. The sample of the study is 32 students which were selected through purposive sampling technique. Academic self-concept survey scale instrument was used for data collection. The data collected was analysed using mean and standard deviation while the null hypothesis was tested using analysis of co-variance at 0.05 level of significance. From the findings it was revealed that study skills is effective in enhancing academic performance of secondary school students and also there is significant difference in the post-testmean score of students treated with study skills and those of the control group. With this it was recommended that study skills technique should be adopted by school counsellors and other allied professionals as an effective treatment technique in enhancing academic self-concept of secondary school students and enhancing academic achievement, self-concept and mental health in school setting among others.

Exposure and Response to Media Discourses on Plastic Pollution: A Conceptual Discourse
Adum, Allen N, Ifeobu, Adaku Chinwe- January 2022- Page No.: 472-476
Against the backdrop of the increasing health hazards associated with poor environmental health and littering of the environment with plastic which directly results to environmental pollution, this study conceptually analyzed the place of the media in the campaign against such health threat. The study was a conceptual discourse which drew its materials from the internet, journals, lecture notes, text books and monographs. Situated within the context of audience reception theory, the study concludes that media discourses on plastic pollution have arguably proved useful in terms of enhancing awareness and knowledge of plastic pollution among residents in South-East Nigeria, especially in relation to its causes, dangers and measures against its environmental hazard. However, it would appear that these discourses, irrespective of sufficient exposure and preferred reading of them by the state civil servants, have largely not been effective in terms of bringing about actual behaviour change. The study therefore recommends that environmental campaign (especially in relation to plastic pollution) in South-East geopolitical zone and indeed all parts of Nigeria should emphasize adoption of recommended actions and the benefits of so doing. This is given the finding that exposure to media messages on plastic pollution did not appear to have significantly influence the desired practices among the audience

Kinamiging Language Ability of Senior Students: Implications Towards Preservation of Language
Arrianne Christelle J. Apostol and Maria Luisa S. Saministado, PhD – January 2022- Page No.: 477-484
The study aimed to determine the status of Kinamiging by looking into the respondents’ language ability. It considered the variables such as years of residency, ethnicity, first language, and language attitude to determine if these variables positively relate to the respondents’ language ability in Kinamiging. The respondents were from the largest public high school in Sagay, Eulalio U. Pabillore National High School in the Philipppines. The study, however, revealed that among the respondents, Sebuano is the dominant language in formal domains such as school. Even in such an informal domain as the community, Sebuano shows its dominance, especially in inter-group interactions. However, there is no precise functional distribution of language use according to the supposed high variety (H) and the regional dialects of low variety (L). The language situation in Camiguin is non-diglossic, meaning there is no precise functional distribution of languages into different domains. It further indicates that the speech community is unstable bilingualism among speakers of the language. Kinamiging is not totally “eclipsed” by the other languages in the area. With the present conditions of its speakers, Kinamiging needs to be integrated with technology among speakers and be revitalized through other forms of activities in school and community to withstand any pressure coming from competing languages such as Sebuano, Tagalog, and English.

Legal Solutions to The Dilemmas in Enforcing Income Tax Regimes in Nigeria©
Prof. Peter Agbo Ocheme, Christiana I.Agbo-Ejeh – January 2022- Page No.: 485-494
Taxation for any society, including Nigeria, is an indispensable means of economic development. Developing countries can attain economic development through marshalling internal resources by enforcing tax policy constructively. Nevertheless, there is hardly a voluntary yield to each call for tax payment either by the individual or a corporate organization. Piqued by the dilemma of involuntariness in income tax extraction or payments, this research embarked on the doctrinal investigation of the Law (statutory and and others) to understanding the amplitudes of easing such dilemmas. This paper contends that Nigerian income tax systems are principally meant to fund government projects and expenditures rather than instruments for socio-economic improvements. This realization breeds not only distrust as between the taxpayers and the tax collectors, but discourages the voluntariness in disclosures of taxable incomes and distortions in real collections and related statistical records There are number of other reasons discovered by the research as impediments to efficacious income tax regimes in Nigeria. Some of these are lack of adequate logistics, undue political interference, slow judicial process, bribery and corruption, unskilled, poorly motivated staff, and sheer ignorance. The Paper provided suggested changes in legal and non-legal approaches, especially with respect to socio-political and fiscal polcies over which the tax-payers’ monies were to be applied. The paper concludes that trust in tax authority would increase if there is internal and external institutional integrity, thereby minimizing tax payment defiance in the country.

A Critical Discourse Analysis of Àyìnlá Ọmọwúrà’s IléAyé n Yí lọ S’ópin
Owolabi Badmus Ajayi, PhD, Omotolani Ebenezer Ekpo, PhD, Sakiru Kilani- January 2022- Page No.: 495-507
Singing is art and art is society. From time immemorial, song has been one of the indispensable tools that develop societies. Music is produced for specific motives, messages and dedications and sometimes directed at specific sets of audience or listeners. In music, different subject matters such as social, economic, religious and contemporary problems and issues are embedded whereby the musician or the songwriter tries to communicate his or her views, feelings, thoughts or ideologies to the targeted audience or readers. Language is an essential component of music for songs are composed of it. Language of song can be spoken or written depending on the situation and purpose. This study therefore attempts a critical discourse analysis of ÀyìnláỌmọwúrà’sIléAyé ń Yí Lọ S’ópin(1978) using Teun A. van Dijks’s (1988) Critical Discourse Analysis model. Using this model reveals that the text is related to the social context of the period in which the social song was produced. The study adopted qualitative method of analysis which is analytic, critical, descriptive and discursive in nature. The study reveals that social cognition and social context shape the choice of words songwriters adopt and at the same time, choice of words reveals the ideologies and beliefs of songwriters. The study encourages other researchers in the field of CDA to carry out CDA of Yoruba songs, especially the historical and political ones to enhance the field of CDA better.

Enhancing Students’ Performance in Senior High School Mathematics through the Learner-centered Approach: A Case in T. I. Ahmadiyya Senior High School, WA, Ghana
Mohammed Subouru Alhassan Bigson, Zulphata Bin Yussif- January 2022- Page No.: 508-523
The study was about enhancing students’ performance in mathematics through the learner-centered method of teaching, with T. I. Ahmadiyya Senior High School, Wa as a case study. This led to the formulation of three specific objectives which were; to assess the performance of individual students through written class quizzesbefore and aftertaking lectures and demonstrations on a topic, to assess the performance of students through class quizzes before and aftertaking learning tasks and activities through instructional groups discussions and individual learning, and also to assess the views of teachers and students on both teaching and learning methods.
The first 80 students who reported to school to begin the first semester of the 2021 academic year, were selected to form the sample groups: ‘Form 1 and Form 2’. After undertaking lessons, the findings which were based on the marks scored by individual students in various class quizzes showed that, students scored higher marks after undertaking lessons through group discussions and that of individual learning activities, but scored lower marks after taking lessons through the lecture and demonstration method of learning. Discussions between the researchersand the respondents (students and teachers)revealed that, the learner-centered method of teaching was most preferred and better to enhance the performance of students, as compared to that of the traditional method (teacher-centered) of imparting knowledge. Even though the traditional method enables larger coverage of study content within a short time, it is a disadvantage to slow learners, but however favours the smart ones. At some point, using the mixed method (both teacher-centered and learner-centered) could enhance better results other than strictly sticking to one method. The study therefore recommended that; similar studies be undertaken in different institution and different subjects of study.

E-Learning Challenges and Implementations Strategies for Teaching English Language Courses in Distance Learning Centres in the COVID-19 Era
Peace Alufohai- January 2022- Page No.: 532-538
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is viral pneumonia with symptoms such as dry cough, fever, sore throat, dyspnea, body pain, and diarrhea. Considering the spread of this dreadful infectious disease, the federal government instituted COVID-19 suppression protocols such as physical/social distancing in classrooms and also encouraged the use of e-learning facilities to reduce the spread of the virus in all tertiary institutions. To examine the prospects of e-learning in the COVID-19 era, this paper examines the e-learning challenges and implementation strategies for teaching English Language courses in distance learning centres in the COVID-19 era. The objectives of this paper are therefore to: identify the challenges of e-learning implementation and discuss possible strategies needed for proper e-learning implementation for English language courses in distance learning centres in the COVID-19 era. Some basic concepts such as e-learning and COVID-19 were conceptually clarified. Based on the review, it was uncovered that inadequate human capacity, inadequate funding, lack of e-learning infrastructure, ICT and bandwidth constraints, poor electricity supply, and institutional governance are the constraints of e-learning adoption and integration for the teaching English language courses in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) centres in the COVID-19 era. Some ready strategies for resolving these challenges include integration of open sources into e-learning, the establishment of data collection repositories, encouragement of resource sharing among staff, development of partnerships and networks, integration of ICT with the whole curriculum, and evaluation of e-learning practices. To resolve these challenges it is suggested that: Open Distance Learning (ODL) centres need to be properly funded by the government to enhance the use of Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) and e-learning systems for teaching English Language courses in distance learning centres.

Impacts of Capital Structure on Performance of Islamic and Conventional Banks: Evidence from Bangladesh
Anwar Zahid, Chinmoy Das Gupta, Retnoningrum Hidayah, Ishaq Shariar – January 2022- Page No.: 539-544
Capital structure of the banking sector has a significant influence on performance measurement. Many studies have investigated the relationship between capital structure and the performance of banks but there is a relative shortage of empirical studies investigating the connection between capital structure and the performance of Islamic and conventional banks particularly from emerging economies. The main purpose of this research is to empirically study the capital structure and the performance of both Islamic and conventional banks in Bangladesh. Panel data of 24 banks (6 Islamic banks out of 8 and 18 conventional banks out of 41 banks) has been taken for the period of 2010 to 2017. Data has been analyzed by using EViews software. T-test has been used to determine the statistical evidence of the differential performance of both groups of bank. Outputs of T-test for the variables include; total debt ratio, short term debt, long term debt and loan to asset ratio indicate the existence of statistically strong significant difference between the capital structure of Islamic and conventional banks. In case of conventional banks, ROA as a performance measure is positively and significantly related to loan to asset and inflation variables. Similarly, evidence has been found that statistically, there is a strong positive association of loan to asset and strong negative connection of GDP on ROE. However, in case of Islamic bank, the outcomes reveal the existence of positive and significant impacts of loan to asset on ROA and ROE.

Matthew Olufemi ADIO and Adebola Toyin OLAOYE – January 2022- Page No.: 545-553
Maize consumption is widespread across the country and among households of different wealth. The challenge to increase the efficiency in food production level in Nigeria appears to be more urgent now than it has ever been in the history of the country and in particular, Kajola Local Government area of Oyo State. This study analyzes the technical efficiency and profitability among maize base farmer in Kajola Local Government of Oyo State. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 80 maize based farmers in the five villages using well-structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, gross margin and stochastic frontier analysis were employed to analyze the data collected. Result showed that the mean age and household size of the respondents were 46 years and 5 respectively. The profitability analysis showed a profit of ₦2711842.6 was recorded. The stochastic analysis revealed that capital, is the most important factors to increase maize productivity. The study concluded that the productivity of the factors could be improved by expanding the capital base, and adequate and timely education through constant training in the latest farming techniques while alternative capital sources through financial capital (savings, funding, remittances etc.) government grants, be available to farmers in other to boost production.

Challenges of Teaching Civic Education as part of the Integrated Social Studies Curriculum in Zambia: A Case of Selected Secondary Schools in Chongwe District
Sianyama Justine and Dr. Oliver Magasu (PhD)- January 2022- Page No.: 554-562
This study is an exploration of the challenges of teaching Civic Education as part of the integrated Social Studies Curriculum in some secondary schools of Chongwe District in Zambia. A Case study design was used since the study employed a qualitative approach. The total study sample was 24 participants. A purposive sampling technique was used to identify Deputy Headteachers, Heads of Departments (HoDs), teachers, and pupils. Data was collected using an interview guide and a focus group guide. Thematic analysis was applied to analyze the data. The key findings included difficulties in assessing and consolidating learner results, lack of trained teachers in Social Studies, and inadequate Civic Education contact time. Lastly, it was established that some participants had a negative attitude towards the revised Social Studies because they lacked information on its implementation. Based on the findings, the study recommends that the Ministry of Education (MoE) should spearhead Continuing Professional Development activities for teachers, train Social Studies graduates and through the Curriculum Development Center (CDC), carefully revise the substandard teaching and learning materials in schools.

Peace and Security- Essential Tools for National Development
Nenger Iorkpen – January 2022- Page No.: 563-571
Peace and Security are considered all over the world as an avenue for national development. There can hardly be a consequential national development without peace and security in any nation. Ensuring peace and adequate security has to do with a wild range of practical efforts by all stakeholders be they government and civil society organizations functioning at various levels to ensure that the root causes of violence that seemed to be a threat to peace and national development are seriously addressed in a manner that people are free from fear of war, conflicts, kidnapping and all other social vices that deny them of their freedom. This paper, therefore tries to, examine peace and security as necessities for ingredients for ensuring peaceful societies and national development. This work also tries to discuss in detail some of the key concepts, challenges and suggested some way forward.

Map of Political Party Ideology in the Four Elections of the Regional Head of the Governor of West Sumatra Period 2005, 2010, 2015 And 2020 (A Comparisonal Study of Politics)
Prof. Dr. Sri Zul Chairiyah – January 2022- Page No.: 572-581
I. INTRODUCTION
In this reform era, Indonesia has succeeded in carrying out both elections and local elections in a democratic manner and periodically every five years. The implementation of the Regional head elections is the result of the implementation after the legislative elections as stipulated in the Regional head elections. The first election was held after the second legislative election after the reform, but the winner of the regional election was not always based on the winner of the legislative election. For example, the 2005 Regional head elections in West Sumatra was won by a coalition of political parties supporting the regional head, namely Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle and Star Moon Party. In fact, the winner of the political party in the 2004 legislative elections in West Sumatra was the Working Group Party.

The study was to determine factors influencing the rate and level of adoption of Tropical Mosaic Selection (TMS) cassava variety with presumptuous that the two decisions process were separate. The double-hurdle model was employed to address the objective with this important peculiarity in mind. Structured questionnaire was used to obtain information from one hundred and twenty cassava farmers that were selected using multi-staged random selection procedures. Results indicated that 56.7%of the sampled farmers reported adoption of TMS cassava variety with a mean proportion of 0.48. Farmers’ decision on adoption of TMS cassava technology was positively affected by extension services, farm size, educational level and fertilizer . On the other hand, farmers’ decision on level of adoption of improved cassava varieties was significantly affected by years of adoption experience and extension services that were positively signed, whilst fertilizer had indirect relationship with the dependent variable. The need to enhance the farmers’ access to educational programme, extension services and adequate farm holding were recommended

Localizing Integrative Approaches in Civic Education: Towards development of Moral and Civic Competencies of Secondary School Learners
Davy Mainde, Daniel L. Mpolomoka, Maximus Mwansa- January 2022- Page No.: 588-596
This study examined localizing Civic Education’s integrative approaches on the development of moral and civic competencies among secondary school learners. A descriptive research design was used targeting 96 respondents who were selected to participate in collecting primary data which was analyzed thematically. The study used ‘Social Learning Theory’ expounded by Albert Bandura which stresses the importance of observation and imitation of behavioural samples, which meet moral standards of the society. Through this theory, it is hopeful that learners will observe and imitate positive community behaviours which will be integrated with Civic Education’s integrative approaches in developing moral and civic competencies in the community. The common themes that emerged were: human rights recognition, instilling feeling of patriotism, social justice promotion, respect for the Rule of Law and molding moral conduct in society. After thorough engagement with literature and primary data provided, the study recommends the formulation of a National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) which will be responsible for the education of Zambians on civic matters, especially those who are still in secondary schools; and school administrators should collaborate with cooperating partners to act as role models in teaching Civic Education. This study has highlighted key areas which need to be considered in teaching Civic Education in secondary schools.

Elias Mugooha, Dr. Mohammad Ssendagi- January 2022- Page No.: 597-607
The study investigated the relationship between credit risk management and the financial performance of SACCOs in Bushenyi District. Specifically, the study examined the relationship between credit risk identification and financial performance, established the relationship between credit risk assessment and financial performance, investigated the relationship between credit monitoring and financial performance of SACCOs in Bushenyi District and investigated the moderating influence of management structure. A cross sectional case study design which was both quantitative and qualitative in approach was used to study a sample of 86 respondents who were purposively and systematically selected. This sample was arrived at using Krejcie & Morgan (1970) Table for sample size determination. Data was collected using self-administered structured questionnaire, interview guide and documentary review. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS (21.0 version) while qualitative data was thematically integrated into quantitative results after content analysis. Generally, the study established a positive significant relationship (r=0.633, p<0.01) between credit risk management and the financial performance of SACCOs. Specifically, the study established a negative significant correlation (r=-0.492, p<0.01) between credit risk identification and the financial performance of SACCOs, a positive significant correlation (r=0.245, p<0.05) between credit risk assessment and the financial performance of SACCOs and a positive significant correlation (r=0.245, p<0.01) between credit risk monitoring and the financial performance of SACCOs. It was concluded that improving on credit risk management would significantly improve on the financial performance of SACCOs in Bushenyi District.

Assessment of Hepatitis Virus awareness among Journalists in Ogun State, Nigeria
Ojetola, Adetola Afolabi, Onaopepo, Ibrahim Bamidele- January 2022- Page No.: 635-645
The role of Journalists in creating awareness and causing behavioral changes that will prevent the spread of the Hepatitis virus through the provision of accurate information on its causes, modes of transmission, and prevention cannot be understated estimated. Therefore, this study sought to assess the knowledge and opinion of journalists and public health practitioners in Ogun State, Nigeria about hepatitis virus reportage among journalists in Ogun State. The study adopted a qualitative research method using interviews and focus group discussion for data collection from the selected 18 health reporters and 5 public health officials. The study adopted two methods of samples, the extreme (or deviant care) sampling and convenience sampling methods of the non-probability sampling type. The research was anchored on Health Belief Model under the Theoretical framework. The data obtained were analyzed thematically. The findings show that Journalists do not make inquiries on hepatitis virus like other endemic diseases in Ogun State. It also revealed that public health officials are willing to release information on the hepatitis virus to the journalist but health journalists are not always interested in getting information about the hepatitis virus in Ogun State. The findings also show that the Rule of privacy and media ownership pattern is part of the barriers to the collection and reporting of information on the hepatitis virus in Ogun State. The study recommended that health communication programs educators should always lay more emphasis on trending global health issues to produce knowledgeable health reporters, who can deliver health information to the people. Moreover, Health workers should always invite media practitioners to their campaigns and seminars to educate both correspondences and specialized reporters on hepatitis as well as other health issues.

Musa Ahmed Zayyad- January 2022- Page No.: 646-649
Blockchain technology and cryptocurrency are continuously becoming more popular all over the world, especially with the rapid popularity of access to the internet. It appears to be one of the most significant trends of the modern era. It is difficult nowadays to spend a whole day without coming across issues of cryptocurrency in the news, or social networking sites, broadcasts channels and even legislations made by various governments. The debate surrounding the subject is highly polarized, with strong feelings on all sides of the multifaceted cryptocurrency. Some call it a bubble, while others believe it has the potential to destabilize the economy of the world. Blockchain technology, which is the heart of cryptocurrency, has been described as a major disruptor of the global business process. Many entrepreneurs have jumped on the initial coin offering (ICO) bandwagon, selling tokens to the general public and raising hundreds of millions of dollars. Therefore, the aim of this article is to investigate the impact of cryptocurrency on the global economy risk and cyber threats and privacy issues with particular emphasis on a developing country like Nigeria.

Extending and Embedding Tessa Open Education Resources (OERS) in Teaching at Primary School Level in Laikipia County, Kenya
Rose Nyambura, Isaac Gitogo – January 2022- Page No.: 664-667
This study investigated extending and embedding Tessa Open Education Resources in Teaching at Primary School Level in Laikipia County, Kenya. The study was qualitative and survey designs.Two primary schools within Laikipia County were purposively sampled and all the twenty teachers participated using multistage sampling technique. The project was in three phases; introduction phase where a 2 day workshop was organised and experts well versed with TESSA OERs facilitated round table sessions on how to teach practical/creative thinking skills to primary school learners using TESSA methods. The training aimed at improving teachers probing skills, cooperative learning and forming a community of good practice. The second phase was implementation while the third phase involved collecting feedback from teachers. 400 pupils from the two participating primary schools were expected to benefit once the teachers embraced TESSA methods which advocate for active learning. Project outcomes included changes that teachers made in their lesson presentations in line with the CBC curriculum and completion of 2019 TESSA MOOC ,hence enthusiasm for online learning and continuous professional teacher development.
The outcomes of the project may inform the Ministry of Education in Kenya in effective implementation of the new CBC as far as online Teaching/learning is concerned. Recommendations made by the project include: need for continuous ICT support for the primary school teachers and engaging the teachers in continuous teacher development courses especially those offered online.

Transposition of Registers from Sinhalese into English: With Reference to ‘Madol Doova’ by Martin Wickramasinghe and Its English Translation by Ashely Halpe
Ubhayawardhana P. D. N. M., Gunathilaka D. D. I. M. B., and Hansani J.A.M.- January 2022- Page No.: 668-676
The process of translation has integrated with many linguistic features immensely in literary translation. According to Catford (1965), translation is the replacement of textual material in one language (SL) by equivalent textual material in another language (TL). When translating literary texts, translators have to deal with different language registers which function as special usages of language in different circumstances. Registers can occur within both written and spoken varieties. While nourishing the language with various types of patterns, registers make the translator’s task more difficult. The selected Martin Wickramasinghe’s novel Madol Doova, has been consummated by using different types of registers as an ancient indigenous novel. The main aim of this case study was to discuss the methods employed by the translator to overcome the untranslatability in register translation. In this regard, Madol Doova and its English translation, were comparatively studied with special reference to the registers in the spoken context. Theoretical reading materials related to the concept of registers and translation methods were also referred. In conclusion of this case study, it was found that the registers under the categories of Frozen, Formal, Consultative, Casual, and Intimate which refers to the Source Text (ST) have been translated by using the methods of Borrowing, Calque, Literal Translation, Equivalence, Adaptation, Modulation, and Transposition to overcome the issue of untranslatability and to be applicable to the Target Text (TT). Further, in addition to the above-mentioned translation methods the translator has used the method of omission where the issue of untranslatability occurred. However, it was observed that in some points there were some inappropriate translations which could not give the SL author’s expected meaning.

Relapse of Uterine Smooth Muscle Tumor of Uncertain Malignant Potential: A Case Report with a Review of the Literature
Sassi I, Naija L, Ghalleb M, Chabchoub A, Jaidane O, Hechiche M, Slimane M, Rahal K- January 2022- Page No.: 677-679
Introduction: Smooth muscle tumors of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP) are sporadic. We report a rare case of relapse of a uterine STUMP and discuss diagnostic and therapeutic issues.
Case report: A 25-year-old North African woman was treated for a uterine STUMP bymyomectomy. Four years later she consulted with pelvic pain associated with pollakiuria. Observations during the surgery led us to perform a hysterectomy and the histopathological examination confirmed the relapse of a STUMP.
Conclusion: Smooth muscle tumors of uncertain malignant potential of the uterus are rare. The surgery remains the standard protocol for the treatment. The risk of relapse is uncommon but a regular follow-up is recommended.

Social Media & Mental Health: A Narrative Study on Bangladesh during the Lockdown time of COVID-19 Pandemic
Amrita Nandy, Mohona Biswas, Joysree Das – January 2022- Page No.: 680-689
Purpose: This study sheds light on the use of social media and its effects on mental health during the lockdown period of the COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh.
Methodology: A quantitative method has been followed to conduct the research. The purposive sampling method is adopted to gather responses from respondents through survey questionnaires during the lockdown period (May-July, 2021). The target populace is the respondents from the age of 18-60 who are highly active on social media in Bangladesh. In the end, 601 responses are obtained and a narrative approach has been used to assess the effects from various aspects like gender, occupation, and usage.
Findings: The study shows social media has a vast effect on people’s mental health during the lockdown time in Bangladesh. 80.7% of the sample use this media as a platform for social communication and 37% of respondents believe that the overall effects of social media are positive during this session. Additionally, research highlights a great engagement of young people in social media in Bangladesh which needs to restrain positively as this might hamper their mental health. Furthermore, results indicate that social media needs to respond more realistically and responsibly in time.
Implications: Being a strong and popular mode of communication as well as information, the governmental body can come across to formulate accurate policies in order to eradicate the negative consequences of social media during this pandemic. Recommendations suggested in this paper might be fruitful to develop a healthy communication platform even after the epidemic session in Bangladesh.

An Effective and Prompt Assessment of Good Corporate Governance on Public Sector Entities- Evaluation of Ideal Best Practices
Tassisius Muzivi – January 2022- Page No.: 690-698
There are several best practices against which good corporate governance can be assessed based on; however, in a public sector setup it is not feasible to apply all the benchmarks during prompt corporate governance assessments. There is also lack of clarity in literature on specific best practices applicable to the public sector. Thus, the objective of this research is to evaluate the ideal corporate governance best practices in the context of public sector entities. An extensive and critical review of literature has been conducted to evaluate the appropriate best practices. Main source of related information has been journals, prior empirical studies and books. In the process, the value and intricacy of good governance in the context of public entities have been expounded. Accordingly, it was established that good governance has a significant contribution to economic growth, sustainability and investor attraction; public sector governance has also been found out to be intricate due to multiple government arms, bureaucracy, political influence and citizenry involvement. It was concluded that corporate governance for public sector entities is effectively revealed through quality service, transparency, compliance and strategic focus;extent of political influence and ethical conduct of those in charge. It is recommended to apply a standard corporate governance assessment criterion on public sector entities to enhance comparability, effectiveness and promptness.

Stakeholders’ Perception of Factors Influencing Low Academic Performance of Pupils’ in Basic Education Certificate Examinations in Ghana
Timothy Agure Awinimi, Berigah Dorcas, Augustine Adjei – January 2022- Page No.: 704-720
The study aimed at looking at factors influencing stakeholders’ perception of factors of low academic performance of pupils in Basic Education Certificate Examination in Pusiga District. The study also sought to find out how teachers’, pupils, and parents perceive the factors responsible for pupils’ low academic performance in BECE. The sources of data comprised questionnaires. The respondents were 270 comprising teachers’, pupils, and parents. The study’s findings unearthed that multiple factors influence the low academic performance of pupils. The school and teacher-related factors that influence low academic performance included lack of monitoring and supervision of learning, misuse of instructional time, and teacher incompetence. But, the pupils’ related factors included problems with language proficiency, negative attitudes towards learning, and problems of regularity and punctuality. The study also found that the home and parent-related factors that significantly influenced pupils’ performance included a lack of conducive home environment, lack of parental involvement, and monitoring of children’s education. The study concluded that attention needs to be paid to the language proficiency of the pupils, pupils’ attitude towards learning, and regularity and punctuality to school to enhance the academic performance of the pupils. It is recommended that the District Directorate and Head teachers intensify their supervision and monitoring roles, offer guidance and counselling, and periodically organize in-service training for teachers. Also, parents should monitor pupils learning at home. Therefore, it is pertinent that education stakeholders look at considering comprehensive factors that influence the academic performance of pupils in the Pusiga District, instead of concentrating on selective individual factors

A Survey of The Studies on Children’s Song Accompaniment and Playing and Singing Course of Preschool Education Major in Higher Vocational Education in China
Lin ZiXuan, Karthiyaini Devarajoo- January 2022- Page No.: 743-748
With the in-depth reform of quality education in China, preschool education, as a basic education, is becoming more and more popular. The enrollment of preschool education in Higher Vocational Colleges in various regions is expanding and developing. In the skill courses of preschool education, Children’s Song Accompaniment, Playing and Singing is a compulsory course. This course is not only the skill of playing the piano, but also an important tool and means for kindergarten teachers to communicate with children. For kindergarten teachers, children’s song accompaniment and playing and singing teaching ability is the most basic professional skill of an excellent kindergarten teacher. However, at present, the training of this course in higher vocational colleges can not fully meet the professional needs of college students after graduation. This study, through the collation and analysis of existing literature, discusses the problems and difficulties faced by piano lecturers majoring in preschool education in Higher Vocational Colleges in ensuring that the teaching objectives, teaching methods and teaching practice of Children’s Song Accompaniment, Playing and Singing course meet the standards stipulated by the Ministry of education of China, so as to help students better master this course and apply it flexibly in practical teaching in their future jobs.

Succession Planning and Financial Performance: A Resource-Based View Analysis
Isaac Onyeyirichukwu Chukwuma, Emmanuel Chibueze Ohakim, Emmanuel Kalu Agbaeze, Fidelis Odinakachukwu Alaefule, Uche MaryRose Iwobi, Gertrude Chinelo Ugwuja, Jacob Ojonugwa- January 2022- Page No.: 749-753
Succession planning (SP) connotes the empowerment of employees with valuable, rare, inimitable, and non-substitutable capabilities that ensure the sustainability and optimisation of organisational performance. This study expands relevant knowledge on the empirical relationship between succession planning and financial performance, and creates a niche within the context of the resource-based view theory. This study is qualitative and explores the resource-based view perspective in understanding the relationship between succession planning and financial performance. This study, via the reviewed empirical literature, observed a heightened positive relationship between SP and the financial performance of organisations. The study concludes by postulating, that the ultimate goals of every organisation are growth, relevance, and sustainability; SP is indispensable to the optimization of these goals as it influences critical performance factors that facilitate the positive continuity and achievement of these goals, hence, succession planning is inevitable for any organisation that is interested in a viable posterity, especially with regards to its financial performance.

Influence of Security Challenges on the Management of Public Universities in North Central Nigeria
Dyege Clement Akpenpuun, Agbe, J. I. (PhD), Idoko Alphonsius A. (PhD) – January 2022- Page No.: 754-761
The study investigated the influence of security challenges on the management of public universities in the North Central Nigeria. Three specific objectives with corresponding research questions guided the study and three hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted a survey research design. The population of the study was 9,708 academic and senior administrative staff in seven Federal Universities in North Central Nigeria. The sample size for the study was 384 academic and senior administrative staff who were drawn using purposive, proportionate stratified and convenience sampling techniques. The instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire titled “Security Challenges and Management of Public Universities Questionnaire (SCMPUQ)”. The questionnaire was validated by experts and its reliability was established using Cronbach Coefficient Alpha Method which yielded a coefficient of 0.87. Data collected for the study was analyzed using Means and Standard Deviation to answer the research questions and Chi-Square Goodness of fit to test the hypotheses at 0.05level of significance. Findings of the study revealed that armed banditry and cultism have significant negative influence on the management of public universities in North Central Nigeria. The study also revealed that ethnic crisis does not significantly influence the management of public universities. The study concluded that security challenges such as armed banditry and cultism in North Central Nigeria pose a great challenge to the management of public universities. Based on the findings, the researcher recommended among others that the Federal Government and university management should be proactive in creating and sustaining a peaceful, threat-free environment by providing sufficient surveillance vehicles that will be very useful in timely fighting and containment of armed banditry activities in university environment and the university management should tighten up measures to check cult activities on campuses and all identified cultists should be rusticated from the institution by the university management.

The Worship of the Biblical God in the Contemporary Times by the Indigenous Turkana Converts to Roman Catholic Christianity, in North-Western Kenya
Dr. Naila G. Napoo – January 2022- Page No.: 768-774
This study examined the authentic God that the Indigenous Turkana converts to Roman Catholic Christianity (RCC) worship in the contemporary time. Christianity is one of the Religions of the Book. This is the Bible that is constituted by the Old Testament (OT) and New Testament (NT) sacred texts. The background of this worship has its roots in the adoration of Turkana indigenous God, Akuj, and Yahweh of OT that has been shifted by RCC to the worship of Jesus in the Trinity, in the NT. Hebrew Religion (of OT) has tremendous and profound influence on RCC (of NT) which the Turkana converts to it worship its God, Yahweh. This belief has been brought to reality by the arrival and expansion of European Roman Catholic Christian missionaries in Turkanaland early 1960s and after Kenya gained independence in 1963. Gradually, over time, Catholic beliefs and values exerted an incessant influence and impact and they are diffused and infiltrated into Turkana indigenous beliefs, practices, values and culture. This study draws upon the worship of the “new” inculturated biblical God by the converted indigenous nomadic Turkana persons to “new” religion, RCC.

Instructors’ Techno-pedagogical Predisposition and Quality Higher Education in Cameroon
Apongnde Pasker (Ph.D.)- January 2022- Page No.: 775-781
This study seeks to illustrate the influence that instructors’ techno-pedagogical predisposition exerts on the ongoing quest for quality higher education in Cameroon. It stems from the premise that despite the efforts deployed for modern technologies to be adequately integrated, and effectively used in the pedagogical process within the higher education arena, the teaching staff is not yet aligning in great numbers with this new dawn. The question that is on every lip is, why instructors’ apathy on the adoption of technological innovations in the pedagogical process? The blame from literature review is largely laid on access to technological devices, and users’ technological skills. This study is a correlational survey involving the random sampling technique, based on Krejcie, and Morgan’s (1970) model for the selection of 213 instructors from five higher educational institutions in Cameroon. Data were collected via questionnaire administration, and analysis / interpretations were done with the help of SPSS according to Spearman’s Correlation Index. Findings show that instructors’ access to techno-pedagogical devices does not significantly affect the quality of higher education whereas their training and initiatives in techno-pedagogy have a significant influence on the quality of higher education in Cameroon. This is illustrated in the overall P-value of ˂0.05 obtained; hence, the need for remedial measures to be taken.

The Use of Technology in Newsgathering
Ben Odeba, Ruth Barnabas & Misal Bello Daburi – January 2022- Page No.: 782-790
Aerial Newsgathering or Drone Journalism is the use of drones for newsgathering and reporting with the application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) in covering conflict, civil unrest and disaster. Anchored on the Diffusion of Innovation Theory, this paper, “The Use of Technology in Newsgathering” analytically reviewed the concept of aerial newsgathering or drone journalism, otherwise called UAVs. The review shows that ‘drone’ which was originally created for military operations has now been adopted for civilian use such as journalism especially in potentially hostile environments in order to minimizeor prevent loss of human journalists on the line of duty and other dangers of using human journalists in dangeroussettings. The reviewfurther indicates that ‘Drone Journalism’ is one of the recent technologies adopted in journalism practicewhich helps to reduce or minimize the killing of human journalists who areexposed to dangers in their line of duty especially during wars and other potentially risky incidences of man-made and natural disasters such as floods, wild fires, storms, earthquakes, and civil unrest. The review also shows that while ‘drone technology’ is an amazing innovation in both militaryand media organizations, journalism practitioners should be mindful of operational guidelines such as ethics, sovereignty issues, privacy and safety

Evaluation of Mobile Learning Framework
Yahaya Garba Shawai, Mohamed Afendee Mohamed, Mohammed Amin Almaiah, Fatima Gambo Abdullahi – January 2022- Page No.: 791-799
This paper presents the effectiveness of using the GUMSA framework in developing a Malay language mobile learning system (M-Lang) using Near Field Communication (NFC) technology as an additional tool to traditional Malay language learning. A quantitative analysis was carried out to test its effectiveness with stratified random sampling as the method. Experts with research interests in e-learning and mobile learning at both Sultan Zainal Abidin University and University Malaysia Terengganu are considered the target populations. In both universities, seven respondents were considered the sample size. An evaluation form was used as the research instrument, and IBM SPSS version 22 as the tool for data analysis. The analysis yielded a positive result: 7 respondents believed that the added feature to the lifelong mobile learning framework was relevant to the development of the M-Lang system. 6 Respondents believe that all the connections and flows of the elements are logical and that the framework may be usable and practicable for the development of mobile learning systems.

Implementing inclusive education in Building Technology and Design in Zimbabwe Secondary Schools: Challenges and the Way Forward
Lawrence Hakireni Mukawu – January 2022- Page No.: 803-810
This study sought to bring forward the challenges of implementing inclusive education in Building Technology and Design a learning area in the Technical Education component of the Zimbabwe secondary school curriculum. The study was motivated by the lack of tangible commitment to implement inclusive Technical Education in the country’s high schools. Data was collected from 30 Building Technology and Design subject teachers from the seven districts of Masvingo Province. The descriptive research design guided this study from data collection to analysis. The results of the study show that Building Technology and Design teachers had limited knowledge of what inclusive education entails and lacked the necessary pedagogic skills to accommodate learners with disabilities in their classes. The teachers however appreciated the need for inclusion in Building Technology and Design as the learning area has the potential to empower all learners including those living with disabilities with survival economic skills. The study recommends in-service programs on inclusive education for practicing Technical Education secondary school teachers and the need to train inclusive oriented teachers at colleges and universities. It also recommends the provision of assistive devices for learners with disability to fully participate and benefit from technical learning areas such as Building Technology and Design.

Grounded Theory in Educational Research, Features and Processes a Review of Literature
G N. Shava, Sandile Sibanda, Sindiso Moyo, Kudakwashe Bapire, Ethel Mathonsi – January 2022- Page No.: 811-818
Grounded theory which is a systematic methodology of discovering theory from data in social science and educational research is considered a general methodology and a way of thinking about conceptualizing data. Using Grounded theory, meaning is negotiated and understood through interactions with others in a social process. This paper provides an overview of the features of grounded theory; process activities involved in using grounded theory are highlighted finally the weaknesses and strength of grounded theory are discussed. In this article we argue that using an appropriate research method for an inquiry is critical to successful educational research. Our study adopted a systematic literature review which examined the key characteristic of grounded theory as a technique for analysing qualitative data.
