Catholic Women’s Association (CWA) in the Nso Fondom of Cameroon from 1964-2013: An Historical Appraisal
Happiness Yinyuy – June 2022- Page No.: 01-08
This paper examines the activities of the CWA of the Roman Catholic Mission and its impact on the Nso community in Bui Division in the North West Region of Cameroon. From its inception, the main aim of this association was, and still is, to enable the women to study the Word of God, build their Christian faith and foster the works of evangelization in the Church and in the community. The focus of this study is to show how instrumental the women have been in carrying out activities that have an impact on the church in particular and the community at large. The spiritual growth of its members was enhanced by teaching them the doctrinal and biblical lessons contained in the work plan of the association. Home economics lessons were also taught as well as self-empowerment projects that helped to foster the economic growth of the womenfolk in particular and the community in general. The group also carried out charitable activities by providing both the spiritual, financial, and material assistance to the poor, sick, and underprivileged persons living in the community. Some spectacular activities were carried out during annual conferences and during the dedication of new members into the association. This work was carried out with the use of primary and secondary data. Primary data were obtained by conducting interviews with CWA officials, members, and chaplains. Secondary sources were obtained from books and CWA magazines. Within the period under study, the CWA carried out spiritual and socio-economic activities which affected more especially the lives of women, and the entire community.

Impact of the Capital Market on the Nigerian Economic Growth
Yusau Audu Abayomi & Umoru Adejo Yakubu – June 2022- Page No.: 13-19
This study examines the impact of the capital market on the economic growth of Nigeria. Time-series of data on Gross Domestic Product, Equity, Government stock, Bond and Preference shares as well as foreign direct investment between 1985 and 2019 were collected from the CBN statistical bulletin, the SEC bulletin and the World Economic Indicators. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was used with the aid of E-view 10. The result of the analysis reveals a long-run relationship between economic growth and the capital market. ARDL bound test shows equity, government stock has a significant positive relationship with economic growth while foreign direct investment and bonds & preference shares have an insignificant negative relationship with economic growth. The (ECM) indicates yearly convergence of approximately 44 % of short-run shock or disequilibrium is corrected. It is therefore recommended that the government through the NSE policies should be geared to encourage more private limited liability companies and informal sector operators to access the market for fresh (equity) capital and the government should curtail the spate of insecurity to boost investor confidence in the Nigerian business environment.

Efficacy of Local Peace Building Structures, Mechanisms and Practices: A Comparative analysis of Kenya and Rwanda
Susan Namaemba Kimokoti – June 2022- Page No.: 20-27
The term peace building entered the international lexicon in 1992 when UN Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali defined it in an Agenda for Peace “action to identify and support structures which tend to strengthen and solidify peace to avoid a relapse into conflict.” Since then, peace building has become a catchall concept, encompassing multiple (and at times contradictory) perspectives and agendas. Studies on peacebuilding detailing their successes and limitations are abundant. Indications of substantial improvements have been made over the years, however, most scholars note that there are still considerable gaps in the development of concepts, policies and practice. Currently, peacebuilding efforts, actors, and coordination in most countries are mixed. There are various multi-stakeholder peacebuilding efforts coordinated by different groups with varying levels of membership, leadership, effectiveness, and impact. There are also varying degrees of trust, suspicion, and often competition for resources amongst the various networks and groups. This paper comparatively seeks to interrogate the practicability and efficacy of local peacebuilding practices, mechanisms as opposed to the formal negotiating table between Kenya and Rwanda. It problematizes the application of western liberal peace models at grassroots level. The aim is to illustrate specific participatory local peace building mechanisms with more attention on the role and efficacy of community led peace building within post-conflict communities

Michael Ochurub PhD, Andrew Jeremiah PhD, Victoria Hitumote Sem – June 2022- Page No.: 32-40
In many organisations across the world, organisational culture influences the way in which people act and serves as a contributing factor, which is used by management to increase employee and organisational performance. At Namibia Water Corporation Ltd, awareness was created that organisational culture should also serves as a point of reference for action to optimise operational efficiency. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the use of organisational culture as a main identity or feature of organisational performance. In order to address the purpose of this research and find answers on the research questions, a quantitative method was applied to collect data from the respondents. The population of the study was large, hence a simple random sampling method was used to sample participants to complete questionnaires for data collection. The researchers used the SPSS software and Microsoft excel to analyse the data and the statistics were converted into tables and graphs. The major findings of this study revealed that organisational culture is the main identity of an organisation and a main feature of organisational performance. Employees which belongs to an organisation with a strong culture are well acquainted with what is expected of them in terms of the values of the organisation and they are confident that they will be rewarded when they fulfil the expectations of the organisation. In order to improve and strengthen the organisational culture and to optimise operational efficiency, the leadership and the top management have to revive the existing culture of their organisations. Strong organisational culture adds value and help the employees to commit themselves and dedicate all their efforts to the organisation, which will also change and enhance the identities of many organisations in terms of performance and value-add to the service delivery.

Environmental Waste Management and Tax Compliance in Bayelsa State
Emmanuel ATAGBORO PhD, MNAA, AFAM, MNIN, ICEnt & Oyeinkorikiye Stephan ISAIAH PhD, MNIM, AFAM, ICEnt – June 2022- Page No.: 41-51
Environmental tax authorities and agents’ provision of waste management facilities’ effect on individuals’ and firms’ tax compliance was the primary focus in this study, and was guided by a survey research design. Through the use of questionnaires, the researchers were able to derive primary data and were descriptively and inferentially evaluated. 150 Bayelsa micro, small, and medium-sized businesses and people make up the sample for the study. Waste management authorities and agents supplied waste control measures; however, the taxpayers did not fully assume the costs of the measures. The study concludes that, efficient provision of waste management facilities and dump sites in conjunction with a reduced sanitation fee will encourage voluntary environmental tax payment by individuals and firms. Government agencies should endeavor to provide more waste management facilities to encourage the public to pay environmental taxes voluntarily. This is because, waste constitutes a bulk of the environmental hazard, and it will also improve the internally generated revenue base of the state.

Physical Carrying Capacity of Selected Tourism Sites and Social Opportunity for Local Resident Tourists in the Philippines
Bernadette G. Gumba and Charlie V. Balagtas – June 2022- Page No.: 56-61
This study calculated the physical carrying capacity of selected tourism sites in the Philippines and assessed the social carrying capacity. A mix of quantitative and qualitative approaches was employed. Based on data, the sites were utilized below carrying capacity. The level of tourism development was post-infancy to growth. The destinations should be packaged well to compete with more established attractions in the province. The social carrying capacity was examined based on the usage by local resident tourists of the natural and human-made attractions. Respondents answered affirmatively about regularly visiting the sites. It may be concluded that local tourists participate actively and enjoy the natural gifts of their place. They were not deprived due to over-regulation, overcrowding, or massive rehabilitation activities. It is recommended that the local government build on the positive attitude of locales regarding their own tourism. This attitude can help significantly in the promotion of the sites.

The Impact of Internal Control Systems on the Financial Performance of Listed Commercial Banks in Machakos Town, Kenya
Ngeta Jacqueline, Evusa Zablon & Wahome Ndirangu – June 2022- Page No.: 62-73
Recent past has seen commercial banks placed under receivership for poor performance which signals to poor internal controls which went undetected by the regulator. Because of this reason, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of internal control systems on financial performance of listed commercial operating in Machakos, Kenya. The study used both causal and correlation research designs. Census method was used to select the select the commercial banks since they are few. The study population comprised of all staff working all listed commercial operating in Machakos Town. Purposive sampling was used to select a sample of 39 respondents, three from each of the 13 listed banks operation within Machakos Town. The study used primary data obtained thorough a self-administered questionnaire. Data was analyzed by use of correlation and descriptive statistics with aid of SPSS version 26. The findings were presented in form of tables and percentages. Reliability of the instrument was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha. All the variables had Cronbach’s alpha above 0.7 and thus were accepted as indicating that the instrument was reliable. The study findings showed that the predictor variables explained 54% of the variability in financial performance of commercial banks. The study found that risk assessment and monitoring had the highest positive and statistically significant impact on financial performance of commercial banks operating within Machakos Town. The study recommends that commercial banks should embrace internal control systems in order to enhance financial performance. Commercial banks should review their practices and policies in line with the internal control systems that significantly impact on the performance.

A Situation Analysis of the Additional TEVETA Content in Home Economics Hospitality in teacher training and secondary school Syllabi: A case study of the Copperbelt province, Zambia
Pansho, M., Kayumba, R., Nkhoma, P., and Mukuka, J. – June 2022- Page No.: 74-77
The study sought to investigate the implementation of the vocational career pathway through a situational of the additional TEVETA content in the curriculum. This was a descriptive study based on the data collected from teachers of Home Economics and Hospitality in selected secondary schools and colleges in Kitwe District. The study suggested that teachers have limited knowledge about the additional content. While content is perceived to be relevant to the learners’ skills, they are not adequately taught to the learners because of the challenges relating to the training of teachers, limited funding, and limited materials for the learners and the teachers. As such, the additional content cannot effectively enhance employable skills for the learners.

Michael Ochurub PhD, Andrew Jeremiah PhD, Victoria Hitumote Sem – June 2022- Page No.: 78-86
In many organisations across the world, organisational culture influences the way in which people act and serves as a contributing factor, which is used by management to increase employee and organisational performance. At Namibia Water Corporation Ltd, awareness was created that organisational culture should also serves as a point of reference for action to optimise operational efficiency. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the use of organisational culture as a main identity or feature of organisational performance. In order to address the purpose of this research and find answers on the research questions, a quantitative method was applied to collect data from the respondents. The population of the study was large, hence a simple random sampling method was used to sample participants to complete questionnaires for data collection. The researchers used the SPSS software and Microsoft excel to analyse the data and the statistics were converted into tables and graphs. The major findings of this study revealed that organisational culture is the main identity of an organisation and a main feature of organisational performance. Employees which belongs to an organisation with a strong culture are well acquainted with what is expected of them in terms of the values of the organisation and they are confident that they will be rewarded when they fulfil the expectations of the organisation. In order to improve and strengthen the organisational culture and to optimise operational efficiency, the leadership and the top management have to revive the existing culture of their organisations. Strong organisational culture adds value and help the employees to commit themselves and dedicate all their efforts to the organisation, which will also change and enhance the identities of many organisations in terms of performance and value-add to the service delivery.

Abomination in politics: An Analysis on Youth’s Political Participation using Harry Frankfurt’s Concept of Bullshit
Evert M. Dela Pena, Jr., Resty Ruel V. Borjal, Jose Epimaco R. Arcega, Hercules J. Uy – June 2022- Page No.: 87-91
The development within the society is a product of dialectical process. The continued tension of thesis, antithesis and synthesis is a manifestation of an active social order. Politics is one of the expressions of dialectic where people in the society deliberates for their well-being. Apart from expression of dialectic, politics is also one of the vital activities in the society for it holds power. In this social activity, youth took their part by voicing out their sentiments believing that the voices can contribute for the welfare. In this sense, there is a tension whether this participation of the youth in politics is accommodating or not. This opus will venture to the stand where the political participation of the numerous youths is not cooperative to the integrity of politics. This effort is not devaluing the opinions of the youth but it only encourages the truthfulness and correct way of participating in the world of politics. The stand will be justified by paralleling it to Harry Frankfurt’s idea of bullshit and bullshitters where he gave meaning to bullshit as misrepresentation of truth. The parallelism between the reckless participation of numerous youths in politics and Frankfurt’s philosophy will present a constructive criticism that hopes to elevate the value of youth’s right conduct and honest activity in politics. This study tends to justify that numerous youths are bullshitters in the realm of politics and it must be suspected and suspended for it abolishes the discreteness and integrity of politics.

Perception of Environmental Impact Assessment System and Social Impacts of Developmental Activities: A Case Study of Geregu Power Plant Phase II, Ajaokuta, Kogi State, Nigeria
Alonge, John Adesanya, Prof Ishaya Samaila and Prof Rhoda Mundi – June 2022- Page No.: 100-106
The study appraised environmental impact assessment (EIA) system perception and social impacts of developmental activities, using Geregu Power Plant Phase II, Ajaokuta, Kogi State, Nigeria as a case study. The objectives were to appraise the perception of Environmental Impact Assessment and the socio-economic impacts of the gas power plant operation on the project`s host communities. Sample population for interview was purposively selected (4 settlements) within the project area of influence and primary data was collected using questionnaire field survey. Simple random sampling was adopted for the administration of 373 questionnaires to elicit information on socio-economic implications and perception of project`s host communities on the EIA system. The result showed that on the years of experience of involvement in EIA system 17.33% of the respondent had 1-5 years, 16% had 5-10 years, 0.67% had between 11-20 years and 0.33% had greater than 20 years. On the number of EIA project’s executed 19% have no experience of executed projects, 20.7% reported less than 5 projects executed, and 1% experienced 16-30 number of EIA projects. Also, on the kind of EIA activity involvement 69.66% have not been involved in any key EIA activities, 27% have been involved as consultants, 1% has been involved at the institutional level and 0.67% at the various intermediaries’ level. Concerning the activities of EIA participation in the last three years, 16.67% have participated in EIA review meetings, 9.66% in the reviewing terms of reference and scoping, 1.33% participated in grievance redress, while 65.01% did not respond. Likewise on the key participants in EIA process, 6.67% have knowledge of project proponent, 30.33% have knowledge of project’s host community 10.33% responded on stake holder, and 3.67% responded on regulations. On the purpose and objective of the EIA system, 5.3% to 20.3% of the respondents have knowledge of purpose and objective of EIA. On the socio-economic impact on project`s host communities, the likert scale mean value of 1.93 was less than 2.05 meaning that the socio economic issues are on the high side. The socio-economic issues noticeable includes provision of resettlement for displaced persons, increase in volume and type of wastes generation, increase in community unrest and increasing pressure on existing infrastructures. It is therefore recommended that there should be EIA sensitization/awareness programme and the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) should be faithfully implemented. Conclusively, there is a need for proposed developmental activities to be conducted in an integrated manner to ensure that they are environmentally, socially sound and sustainable.

“Micro-Credit Work as a Recovery Instrument During and after Covid-19 Pandemic”: The Case of EMYOOGA SACCOs in Uganda
John Busingye – June 2022- Page No.: 107-114
This paper summarizes the data collected from SACCOs and their clients to assess the role of Micro-Credit as a Recovery Instrument during and after Covid-19 Pandemic? Emyooga SACCOs and borrowers in Mbarara city, South Western Uganda, provided a conceptual setting of the study. The results show that while the pandemic touched all entrepreneurs in Uganda, the severity of its impact was marked differently by different entrepreneurs in some businesses to almost negligible in other businesses. However, all entrepreneurs faced some form of a lockdown which affected them in one way or the other.
Nevertheless, preliminary results show that traders in Mbarara city changed business to suit the prevailing conditions. For instance, some introduced on-line and delivery service means of reaching their clients. It was also established that Emyooga SACCOs provided start -up capital to enhance the poor to continue with business during the C-19 lock down.
Other findings are that Emyooga loans have a significant effect on the borrowers’ change in income and asset acquisition. Some respondents reported to have acquired land while others had their business improved, particularly businesses dealing in food stuffs. Therefore, flexibility and diversification in business are commended, such that any problem with one line of business is saved by its sister business.
The study applauds governments intervention to extend more support to the self-employed and microentrepreneurs to allow them to sustain their business operations, and that SACCOs are in horrible need of a lender-of-last-resort funding body that can step in with emergency funding and provide financing when commercial banks are unable to do so.
The paper ends with a set of other specific recommendations for various stakeholders which would help the SACCO clients to stabilize and return to normality.

Exploring Major Stressors and Coping Dimensions of Zimbabwean University Female Students: A Qualitative Study
Moyo A. – June 2022- Page No.: 115-121
The study investigated stress and coping mechanisms amongst female university students in Zimbabwe. Many female students in universities have to handle various stressors caused by personal, academic, social, and sometimes work lives. Students with inadequate stress handling skills can face difficulties in trying to balance these responsibilities. The study was aimed at assessing stress and stressors amongst the female students, and also the coping strategies that can be used to handle stress. Female university students from the Midlands State University were interviewed as the respondents of this study, and the data received was qualitatively assessed to determine the stressors, stress levels, and coping mechanisms. Overall, the students indicated that the key stressors they experienced were disadvantaged social backgrounds, menstruation and menstrual disorders, sexual harassment, information overload, peer competition, transition from adolescence to adulthood, personal inadequacy, and lecturer-student relationships. It was observed that the students apply four main coping strategies namely venting, instrumental support, emotional support, and self-distraction. The study concluded by recommending that additional studies are warranted to look into reduction of student stress for both genders and developing coping mechanisms.

Bridging the Gap Between Socio-Economic Rights and Development in Africa: The Case of Zimbabwe’s 2013 Constitution
Emmaculate Tsitsi Ngwerume – June 2022- Page No.: 122-129
It is the aim of this paper to explore the inextricable link between human rights and development in Africa, using the Zimbabwean 2013 Constitution as the prime case study. Comparisons were also drawn from different selected countries regionally as well as globally. Qualitative research through extensive desk research, involving the application of critical content analysis was the adopted methodology. Despite the widespread recognition and adoption of human rights-based approaches to development, including the Right To Development (RTD) in most developing states, a huge gap exists between principle and practice. More so, the RTD in particular, is a very much contested concept, both locally and internationally. However, for sustainable development to be achieved in Africa and other developing parts of the world, there is need to make human rights, and particularly, socio-economic rights, an integral component of the development process.

Manufactured Export and Government Spending on Infrastructures in Nigeria (1990 – 2015)
Dr Olajire Aremu Odunlade and Prof Festus Folajinmi Adegbie – June 2022- Page No.: 130-134
Government spending in every fiscal year is aimed at impacting every sector of the economy through the provision of infrastructural facilities required for the production of goods and services; that will enhance the welfare of the citizens. However, poorly developed and decaying infrastructure has been noted to be affecting the financial and operational capabilities of manufacturing companies in Nigeria. This study examined government spending on Infrastructures which are; Roads, Power, Human Capital Development on Export of listed manufacturing companies in Nigeria..
The study adopted ex-post facto research design. The population of the study was 83 listed manufacturing companies in Nigeria as at December 31, 2016, from which a sample size of 20 was purposively selected based on availability of data covering the period from 2001 to 2015. Secondary data were obtained from published financial statements of listed manufacturing companies in Nigeria, publications of government and the World Bank. Validity and Reliability of the data were based on the reports of external auditors and other regulatory agencies. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods.
The study found that government spending on power, roads, security and human capital development; jointly have significant effect on MANUFACTURED EXPORTS. MANEXP F(4, 10) = 10.07, P value associated with the F-value was 0.002, this is less than 0.05 indicating that the the independent variables had significant effect on the dependent variables. R2 = 0.801, Adj R2 = 0.722. However, Government spending on Power had negative but insignificant effect on Manexp (t(26) = -1.57, p>0.05) expenditure on Roads had negative insignificant effect on Manexp (t(26)= -0.234 p>0.05).. Spending on Security had negative but insignificant effect on Manexp (t(26) = -0.490 p>0.05). HCD had positive but insignificant effect on Manexp (t(26) =1.493 p>0.05)
The study concluded that government spending on infrastructures did not influence earning from export of manufactured products in Nigeria. It was recommended that government should restructure its pattern of expenditure to make it industry specific so as to re-engineer ailing Nigerian manufacturing companies.

Impacts of Paragliding Festival on The Socio-Economic Settings of Kwahu Residents in Ghana
Aninakwah Isaac, Samuel Annan-Nunoo PhD, Aninakwah Enock, Kate Asiedua Frimpong, Okunor Thomas – June 2022- Page No.: 135-142
The paragliding festival of the Kwahu people in the Eastern Region is one of the most exciting festivities in Ghana. This is due to the fact that a multitude of people all over Ghana and abroad attends these festivities. Many socio-economic impacts are felt by the residents of the area certainly both negatives and positives. This article examined the impacts of paragliding festival on the residents of Atibie and Mpraeso in the Eastern region of Ghana. The study employed a qualitative led mixed method with 110 participants randomly and purposively selected from Atibie and Mpraeso Kwahu. Statistical Package for the Social Scientist (SPSS) version 26 was used to disaggregate and show data. To portray the data for interpretation, tables were used. The study finds socialization, entertainment, and infrastructural development as positive social impact, and positive economic impacts as employment, business linkages, and new business opportunities, income and increased land price and rent. Other negative socio-economic impacts include high crime rate, increase income disparity, increase, high price of essential commodities, and services as well as seasonality effect. The study recommended that Local cultures and native lifestyles should be preserved, and these initiatives should come from the local community itself, as they will bear the brunt of the consequences of such development. Also, Tourism Authority and other stakeholders such as the security services should be part of the event to check on all negative impacts such as crime and drug trafficking while maintaining peace, serenity and visitor interest in the event.

Cash Conversion Cycle and Firm Performance in Nigeria: A Sectoral Analysis
NWOKOYE, Gladys Anwuli (Ph.D) – June 2022- Page No.: 143-153
This paper sought to investigate the effect of cash conversion cycle proxied as: days inventory turnover (DIO), days payables outstanding (DPO) and days sales outstanding (DSO), on the performance of quoted firms in two sectors in Nigeria. This was done within a multivariate framework, using pooled OLS and multivariate panel regression technique and with data that covered the 2010 to 2020 reference period. The results obtained were generally well behaved in that they largely conform to presumptive expectations. The empirical evidence show, for example, that days inventory turnover (DPO) and days sales outstanding (DSO) affect movements in firm performance negatively among firms in the consumer goods sector, though only the DSO variable show significant impact. The same variables affect the sampled firms in the manufacturing sector differently. Results show that the days payable outstanding (DPO) and the days sales outstanding (DSO) variables affect performance of the sampled manufacturing firms positively but insignificant and significantly negative impact respectively. The days inventory turnover variable on the other hand, was found to show positive and significant effect on performance of firms in the consumer goods sector, whereas, it affects the sampled firms in the manufacturing sector negatively but in a significant manner. The outcomes therefore suggest the need for optimal cash conversion cycle policy such that has growth tendencies as options. Strategies recommended to abate or minimize the risk of losing sales and customer loyalty include: optimal working capital, improved liquidity, offer of trade credits, proper monitoring of inventory and repayment periods to guarantee enhanced firm performance

A Critique of the Power-Values Dynamics
Socrates Ebo – June 2022- Page No.: 154-158
A cursory thought on power and value might view the two concepts as having nothing to do with each other. But a deeper philosophical thought on the two concepts would reveal interesting relationships between the two concepts. Could political power endure for long if it is not anchored on some values? Could a value endure in a society if it is not anchored on some sort of power, political or transcendental? This unique but puzzling relationship is the focus of this work. Power is ultimately predicated on some values for the justification of its exercise. Values require some sort of force to become widespread, effectual and duly respected in the society

Correlation Analysis of Demographic Variables, Job Stress and Productivity of Workers in Electrical Occupations
Amenger Maashin, Ph.D, Theresa Chinyere Ogbuanya, Ph.D & Jimoh Bakare, Ph.D – June 2022- Page No.: 159-164
The study analysed the correlation between demographic variables, productivity and occupational stress of workers in electrical occupations. Two relevant research questions were answered while two hypotheses formulated were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted a correlational research design and was carried out in North Central States. The population for the study was 301 workers in electrical occupations. The instrument for data collection was questionnaire titled Demographic Variables, Job Stress and Productivity Questionnaire (DVJSPQ). Three experts face- validated the instrument. The internal consistency of the questionnaire items was determined using Cronbach alpha reliability method and coefficients of 0.89 was obtained for Occupational Stress, 0.94 for Productivity of workers in electrical occupation. The overall reliability coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.96. Out of 301 copies of DVJSPQ administered, only 295 copies were completed representing 98.01 percent return rate. Point –biserial correlation and regression analysis were employed to analyse data for answering research questions and hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed that: (i) demographic variables have weak and moderate relationship (r = -.140, -.226, -.130, .659) with job stress of workers. (ii) demographic variables have strong relationship (r= 973, 812, 933. 871) with productivity of workers in electrical occupations. (iv) demographic variables influenced job stress and productivity of workers in electrical occupations. Findings on hypotheses include that: (i) age and educational qualification were a significant moderator of the relationship between occupational stress and productivity of workers in electrical occupations (ii) year of experience and marital status were not a significant moderator of the relationship between occupational stress and productivity of workers in electrical occupations. Recommendations include that workers in electrical occupations should be sensitized through workshops and seminars on how demographic variables influence their productivity and job stress in their occupations.

Effects of Media Advertisement Representation of Womens’ Body Image on Violence against Women in Bangladesh
Halimatus Sadia, Md. Arman Sorif Jibon, Md. Shahin Parvez – June 2022- Page No.: 165-172
In most societies, women are the victims of physical, sexual, psychological, and economic violence. Sexual abuse is the main obstacle to the achievement of their rights. Most of the advertisements on national television channels, newspapers, and magazines in Bangladesh were the depiction of a women’s body as a sexual thing. The present comprehensive study is to identify how advertisement represents women and its impact on woman’s identity construction. This research also investigates the effect of media advertisement on the young generation. This quantitative study was conducted, through 80 male and female students were randomly selected from the two reputed universities at Khulna in Bangladesh. This study found that about 80 percent of women and more than 77.5 percent of women were accordingly victims of sexual assault and faced body shaming. Women are always conscious about to be being thin-shaped body; consequently, they were dissatisfied with their body shape, which was calculated by almost about 70 percent of girls. Most of them (81.25%) men and their families looking for a bride consider girls with bright looks. This research observed that the viewpoint on women was all about the reflection of the media’s advertisement on society. This study will help to take initiatives where problems have arrived and how media advertisers promote the product more consciously which will maintain a certain cultural sentiment

The total sample comprises school students with age range l3 to 16 years from Siwan district, Bihar. The whole sample consists of total 600 school going adolescents with equal number of boys (n-300) and girls (n300). Both subgroups were made with equal number of adolescents belonging to urban & rural community. To select the sample randomized sampling technique was used in the present study. The efforts were made to select the sample as representative as possible in terms of socio-economic status and family type. Test of Study Habits and Attitudes developed by C. P. Mathur will be applied to measure study habits.

Online shopping in Oman – Its influence and opportunities
Laith Al Sabahi, Majid Al Kharusi, Al Faisal Al Hinai, Waleed Al Rumhi, Mohammed Al Nasseri, Dr. Mohammed Shafiuddin – June 2022- Page No.: 177-180
This research will aim to explore the impact of online shopping on green product purchase behavior in Oman. In this research we used a primary based data one which conducts a survey amongst 50 online shoppers in the Muscat region. The respondents were selected using convenience sampling and snowballing sampling techniques. The responses were analyzed using SPSS software. We found that most of the respondents were below 25 years of age, most were male, and most had an income level of 250 to 500 Rials. Most of the respondents had disagreed with the statements showing that there was a lack of informativeness, credibility and green attitudes amongst the Omani customers and online retailers. Green product awareness needs to be overall improved in Oman and retailers need to provide a range of products to motivate the consumers to ‘Go green’.

Assessing the Possibility of Prosecuting Putin and other leaders for War Crime in Ukraine
Dr. Ambrues Monboe Nebo Sr. – June 2022- Page No.: 181-186
This article succinctly assessed the possibility of prosecuting Russian President Vladimir Putin and other key figures for alleged potential war crimes or crimes against humanity being committed in Ukraine. Precisely, it reviews existing literature on the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine as the methodological approach to exploring the possibility.
As the conceptual framework, this paper assessed the possibility from the background of power dynamics, particularly in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) affecting international politics and puts Russia into context. The paper doubts not the possibility but argues that the chances are very slim due to the concept of power dynamics being exercised by Russia as one of the five permanent members of the UNSC and the political limits to what the International Criminal Court (ICC) can do in any of the crimes it investigates and prosecutes prime suspects bearing greater responsibility.

Does reducing violence against women improve children’s health? The case of Cameroon
Christian T. Litchepah, Issidor. Noumba, Mohammadou. Nourou – June 2022- Page No.: 187-194
Improving child health is one of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations. It is also seen as a means of promoting their well-being. The empirical literature on the relationship between child health and domestic violence is less clear. Using quantitative data from the Cameroon Demographic Health Survey, this study explores the effect of domestic violence, as measured by physical, sexual and emotional abuse, on health indicators of birth weight, growth and occurrence of diarrhea episodes in children. Emphasis is placed on the potential endogeneity of domestic violence that could bias the relationship between child health and domestic violence. The econometric method used was either a probit with instrumental variable or a two-step least square. The results are mixed. We observe a non-significant effect of domestic violence, whatever its form, on the birth weight and growth of the child. On the other hand, a significant effect, albeit slight (10%), of physical violence on the contraction of diarrhea by the child was observed.

Domestic Energy Consumption Patterns of Households in Kaniga Area, Rwanda
Celestin Niyonzima, Dr Stanislaus Peter Kashinje – June 2022- Page No.: 195-212
Most of Rwandan households depend primarily on traditional means as a source of energy. However, the consumption patterns and intensities remain poorly understood. The aim of the present study was therefore to provide a better understanding of households on renewable energy consumption. Stratified random sampling design was used in order to capture energy consumption patterns between rural, peri-urban and urban populations and across household wealth categories.
Households in each randomly selected site were stratified into poor, low, medium and high wealth categories. Data were collected using pre-tested and pilot-tested questionnaires, direct measurements, direct observations, interviews and focus group discussions as the best research method that resulted to the dependable output in this primary study.
A total of 1 000 households were sampled: rural area (768); peri-urban area (183) and urban center (49). This is a good number to represent the whole population of the study area since each category of them were fully represented to avoid missing and misrepresentation. This sample was drawn from across all wealth categories: poor-39 household (3.9%), low-392 households (39.2%); medium-400 households (40.0%) and high-169 households (16.9%).
Several hypotheses were found to be true: (1) Socio-economic and demographic factors have effects on household energy choice; (2) There is significant household preference to Kaniga as source of energy. Factors which were found to be important in influencing choice of energy are: location of household, residence ownership, dwelling/house category, household income, and education level of household head; (3) Household survey revealed the insufficient electricity in Kaniga Sector.
Household dependency on traditional and hydro-electrical power sources of energy is irresistible and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. Promotion of improved renewable energy and improved electrification, and promotion of alternative sources of energy has been proposed to alleviate the available energy related problems.

The Power of Tradition Confucius Institutes and cultural diplomacy in the Visegrád Four countries
Viktória Laura Herczegh – June 2022- Page No.: 213-221
In the past few decades, educational and cultural institutions have become increasingly widespread and popular all over the world. The aim of non-profit public organizations such as Britain‘s British Council, Germany‘s Goethe-Institut, France‘s Alliance Française or Spain‘s Instituto Cervantes is promoting language and culture as well as facilitating teaching and cultural exchanges. Confucius Institute (孔子学院) of the People‘s Republic of China, founded in 2004, is a remarkably fast-growing example for such institutions. As of now, there are more than 700 Confucius Institutes all over six continents. The institutions named after the probably best known Chinese philosopher co-operate with local universities, sharing finances, promoting language courses, training teachers, organizing language exams and contests and hosting cultural and artistic events. The ―trademark name‖ is, unsurprisingly, often associated with China‘s projection of soft power in order to improve the country‘s international image, and, possibly, using diplomatic manipulation. Scrutinized or not, Chinese public diplomacy through Confucius Institutes has been a phenomenal success story so far. China‘s relations with the Visegrad Group countries have lately seen a significant growth within the ties of the so-called 16+1 platform and the One Belt, One Road Initiative, both established in 2013. As Chinese investment approach usually walks hand in hand with soft power projection, it is no different in case of the V4 countries. In this paper I provide a comparative overview of Confucius Institutes in the four Visegrad countries including statistical data, the institutions‘ fields and ways of operation and co-operation as well as the impact of this significant soft power push on the present and future of V4-China relations.

The Influence of Career Development Practices on Employee Retention in The Mining Industry in Namibia
Michael Ochurub PhD, Andrew Jeremiah PhD, Selma Iipumbu – June 2022- Page No.: 222-233
The mining industry in Namibia is currently experiencing a high employee turnover as a result of a lack of career development as employees are mostly attracted by career advancement opportunities. Career development is one of the key factors in an organisation to attract and retain key and talented employees. Therefore, this study is intended to determine the effect of career development practices on employee attraction and retention. This study is quantitative in nature and questionnaires were used to collect the data from participants. The researchers used Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software to analyse the data and to provide descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and graphical analyses with the use of tables and calculation of statistics for central tendency, variability, and distribution. The major findings of the study revealed that the career management plans do not align with employees’ personal career goals and that the employee commitments and performance in the mining industry are constrained due to the lack of structured career planning and management. It is also evident from the findings that career development practices would increase the profitability of the mining industry as a result of satisfied and high performing employees. Although the employees have adequate resources to carry out their duties, the lack of career advancement as well as adequate training and development is a great concern. Investors in the mining industry must place a high value on human capital, and as a result, ensure that their skilled individuals are retained as they provide an advantage over competitors. A high level of support to employees are more likely for employees to emotionally commit to their organisations, resulting in a low rate of turnover and a high level of job performance.

Child Poverty: Poor Counterpart Funding as a Challenge to Completion Rate of Basic Education in Enugu State
Ugwoke Chikaodili Juliet (Ph.D), Onyegiri Chikodi Dympna, Okwumuo,Victoria Nkiru, Ibekwe Obinna Paul – June 2022- Page No.: 234-242
It is an indisputable fact that the development of any nation is anchored on the level of accessibility to quality education by its citizens. Over the past decade, international communities have placed much energy on contributing at least a 20 percent improvement in child school enrolment without sufficient attention on retention and completion rates. Thus, 28.6% of the total populations of children (3-14) are dropouts. Primary school completion rates decreased from 88% in 2003 to 71% in 2008 slightly increased to 73.30% in 2010 and currently declined to 75% in 2020 in Enugu state. The dropout rates increases as age goes up, thus, the completion rate declined to 68% in junior secondary school mainly in rural areas of Enugu state. Based on this backdrop, the study explores the main factors influencing dropout in basic education. The design of the study is a descriptive research design. A composite sample of 500 respondents comprises the dropouts, their parents and head teachers are drawn from the 6 education zones in the state through Purposive sampling technique. The data collected were analyzed through both quantitative and qualitative means. The study found that 62.5% of households in Enugu state are absolutely poor; this gives rise to child poverty and deprivation of their education right and others. Withdrawal of children from school to street hawking and farming are seen as the option for economic survival. It was also found that the insufficient basic facilities in the schools, overloaded class rooms and distance to school lead to dropout in schools. Promoting completion rate of basic education requires that Enugu state government should raise its counterpart fund to enable it access 2% consolidated revenue fund, commit 14% to 20% of annual budgetary allocation to education sector as recommended by UNESCO and adequate financial aid grants should be offered to students who have been admitted to schools for basic education programmes and whose families demonstrate financial need.

Factors Affecting Career Planning of Bachelor of Arts Undergraduates in Sri Lanka
H.K. Liyanage; R.M.K.G.U. Rathnayaka – June 2022- Page No.: 243-251
In a dynamic labor market where the skills and job requirements demanded constantly changes affects the graduates of undergraduates, especially those following in the arts stream, career planning is important. In order to understand the career planning process to fill the gap between demand and supply of employment, the study aimed to identify the factors influencing career planning and to build a career planning model. The study considered a sample of 136 respondents following the Bachelor of Arts (Hons) program at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura. A path analysis was conducted along with a Spearman’s rho to test the hypothesized model developed using three career development theories, namely, Gottfredson’s Circumscription and Compromise, Social Cognitive Career Theory, and Self-Determination Theory, to a four-stage career planning model. The study identified that there are influential factors that directly influence in the career planning process while factors such as prior achievement indirectly influence in the career planning process

A Simplified Vector Autoregressive Model Application on The Philippine Economic Performance During the Period 1965-2010
Eric J. Nasution – June 2022- Page No.: 252-260
Let this study be known to many that the economic performance of the Marcos administration during the period 1965-1986, was significantly much better than that of the post-Marcos administration. It used a co-integration analysis and a comparison between the Marcos administration and other administrations’ economic performance. The time series variables are comprised of the Philippine GDP (ppp) or GDP, GDP yearly growth or GR, level of inflation or INF, capital formation as a percentage of GDP or CAP, and industry’s share in the economy or IND. It clearly summarized a much better economic performance under the Marcos administration, which many had regarded as a culprit. In the first research question, at an optimal lag of one (1), the ADF test shows that all unit root variables are stationary at first differences on the 5% level of significance, which therefore characterizes the time series data under Marcos administration as integrated at the first difference or I (1). So, all economic indicators seemed to be good predictors. The hypothesized equilibrium model for regressing the GDP (ppp) resulted as: GDP (1.000)=GR(2634.1)+INF(23137.7)+CAP(1241.1)+IND(-5884.4), shows degree of stability. The Granger-causality test statistics were applied to answer research question two on causality. It pointed to the need of continued industrialization in the country as CAP and IND Granger-caused Philippine GDP (ppp). While research question three simply compared the Marcos and other administrations’ economic performance, which mostly indicated better economic indicators. The study concluded that the Marcos administration’s economic performance were relatively better than those subsequent administrations. Let us ask the Lord for an intellectual maturity to comprehend what President Ferdinand E. Marcos had done for the Philippines. God bless all of us.

Gloria Dhahabu, Gitonga Doreen, Barasa Eliakim, Moses Kiarie, Ruth Kibaara, Dismas Omimi, Evusa Zablon, Ngeta Jacqueline – June 2022- Page No.: 261-270
For a given time and a specific benchmark, an investment’s risk may be expressed as an uncertainty measure of the investment’s future reward. When business initiative fails to pay off, there is the potential for capital loss to those involved. Studying how Kenya’s tier one commercial banks financial performance is affected by financial risks is the main purpose of this research. The specific objectives of this study was to establish the effect of Liquidity risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, and foreign exchange risk on the financial performance of tier one commercial banks. The independent variable in this study were interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and exchange rate risk while the dependent variable was financial performance of tier 1 commercial banks in Kenya. This research employed a variety of theories which include; the loanable fund theory, information Asymmetry theory, purchasing power parity theory and the theory of bank liquidity. The financial statements of Kenya’s nine major commercial banks were utilized in this research. A simple research design was used in this investigation. The research employed Census sampling method that is, it focused on the nine-tier 1 CBK-licensed commercial banks. The secondary data information was obtained from audited financial statements of the commercial banks under study. The study covered a period of 5 years from 2016- 2020. The data was arranged and financial ratios calculated. IBM SPSS statistics version 22 was used to construct tables, charts, correlations, and regressions. The study found out that liquidity risk and Return on Assets are positively and significantly related (β=0.348, p=0.00), credit risk and Return on Assets are positively and insignificantly related (β=0.018, p=0.667), foreign exchange risk and Return on Assets are negatively and significantly related (β= -0.028, p=0.392) and Interest rate risk and Return on Assets is negatively and insignificantly related (β= -0.281, p= 0.155). The study concluded that liquidity risk and credit risk have a positively related to Return on Assets while foreign exchange risks and interest rate risk have negatively related to Return on Assets. The study recommends that tier one commercial banks should hold more of their assets in liquid form to enhance borrowing. Bank management should carry out a rigorous due diligence before loaning out their funds to avoid default risk. The central banks should reduce its reserves to enable commercial banks to have more liquid assets and money to loan because increase in reserves puts excessive strain on banks and reduces liquid assets.

Perceptions of headteachers and teachers on the Annual Performance Appraisal System in selected primary schools of Lusaka District
Jenipher Nyeleti – Chisefu, Kalisto Kalimaposo, Angel Kabwe Chisefu, Kaiko Mubita, Kasonde Mundende and Inonge Milupi – June 2022- Page No.: 271-285
The study explored perceptions of head teachers and teachers on the Annual Performance Appraisal System (APAS) in selected primary schools of Lusaka District. The study was exploratory in nature and located within an interpretive qualitative research design. The study objectives were threefold: (i) to explore perceptions head teachers and teachers hold concerning the Annual Performance Appraisal System (APAS); (ii) to establish ways in which APAS had motivated teachers in primary schools (iii) to ascertain levels of teacher satisfaction on the use of Annual performance Appraisal System. The sample comprised twenty participants; five head teachers and fifteen class teachers.
The study revealed that teachers lacked proper understanding of APAS which consequently led to the development of negative perceptions and attitudes towards the system. The study revealed that the majority of teachers did not see the importance of APAS in their career because the system was perceived as an academic exercise without tangible results. It was further revealed that the majority of teachers were not motivated with appraisal systems, and that head teachers were not providing appropriate guidance and initiating programme to build capacity in teachers. In addition, teachers were dissatisfied with APAS because teachers were not well inducted about the appraisal process as coaching and monitoring appeared inadequate. The study revealed that supervisors involved in appraisal process lacked necessary skills of evaluating teachers. One of the major recommendations made by this study was that the MoE should provide in-house training through workshops to ensure that supervisors involved in appraising teachers acquired requisite skills for conducting teacher appraisals.

Relationship Between the Availability of Instructional Resources and Teachers’ Attitude Towards Adoption of a Competency-Based System of Education in Lower Primary Schools in Nairobi City County
Susan Mukami Mutonya, Dr. Nyakwara Begi – June 2022- Page No.: 286-292
Competence-Based education is a system that gives more significance to acquiring competencies instead of acquiring content knowledge. Teachers are critical components in the adoption of any new system of education. Teachers’ attitude is crucial in ensuring that teachers are prepared and motivated to adopt and implement the change. Attitude can influence the adoption process, thus affecting the implementation process. This study specifically explored the relationship between the availability of instructional resources and teachers’ attitudes towards adopting a competency-based system of education in lower primary schools. The theory of educational change guided the study. A descriptive research design was adopted. The target population of this study was 206 respondents from 103 public and private schools in Langata Sub-county, Nairobi City County. The sample size was 62 respondents consisting of lower primary school teachers and the head teachers. Stratified and simple random sampling techniques were used. The study ensured the content validity of instruments by piloting research instruments and providing they aligned with the research objectives. Cronbach alpha coefficient was applied to measure the reliability of the instruments. To collect the data, questionnaires and interview guides were used. Data were analyzed using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS), descriptive statistics, and presented results using tables and figures. The results indicated that most institutions had adequate instructional resources like curriculum design and materials for lesson development. The relationship between the availability of instructional resources and teachers’ attitude toward the adoption of CBE was significant at .05 level. The study concludes that the availability of instructional resources influenced teachers’ attitudes towards adopting a competency-based education system. It is recommended that the school management ensure the full provision of instructional resources to enhance the successful adoption and implementation process of CBE. Teachers should be encouraged to attend more training on competence-based curriculum to help them learn and acquire skills on effective ways to assess the learners in competency-based assessment.

The Effect of National Poverty on Academic Performance of Junior Secondary School Students: A Case Study of the Western Rural District of Freetown in Sierra Leone
Alhajie Bakar Kamara – June 2022- Page No.: 299-389
Poverty and education are inseparably connected. The present literature covers a variety of topics such as the effect of poverty on students’ literacy, numeracy skills, etc. But how poverty affects secondary students’ academic performance comprehensively is yet to be researched, especially in the countries which are the poorest in the world. This study focused on the Western Rural District of Freetown, the capital city of Sierra Leone which is one of the ten poorest countries in the world, as a case to investigate the effect of its poverty on the secondary students’ academic performance.
The study focused specifically on students in Junior Secondary School from three aspects: Home, School, and Society. The population for this study comprised of students of junior secondary schools, parents and guardians, Integrated Science teachers of Freetown in the western district area during the 2018/2019 academic year. Data was collected from 375 sample respondents in 15 schools; 30 teachers (two teachers from each school), 300 students (20 in each school), 45 parents or guardians (3 from each school), using a questionnaire, interviews, and Focus Group Discussion.
Based on the findings of this study, it was concluded that the prevalence of poverty in schools, homes and then the environment has greatly hindered the academic performance of school-going children. Firstly, schools’ poor facilities hinder teachers’ effective teaching and students’ learning. The school administrations cannot provide enough school materials due to a lack of funds to buy the necessary item for effective availability and accessibility. Teachers are poorly paid and not motivated for the work and their salaries and sources of income do not meet their daily needs. Many schools cannot afford to buy textbooks for the use of teachers and students in their schools, therefore some teachers stills depend on old notes that are outdated in teaching kids. Researches showed that the availability of school facilities such as school material, science laboratories, good toilets, good ventilation, spacious class, adequate teaching and learning materials, good infrastructure, the motivation of teachers, libraries, textbooks, etc., promote the academic performance of students in schools. But when such school facilities lack in the schools, teachers will experience constraints, students will lack education, and it will result in poor performance of students.
Secondly, poor families prevent students’ studying well both at home and at school. The majority of the parents cannot provide the required needs of the students such as daily meals, good home, and daily lunch for school, transport fare to and from school. The students find it too difficult to study because of hunger in the houses, hunger in school (small money for lunch or without). This affects student concentration and limits the rate of understanding the lesson the teacher teaches in class. At home also, it prevents students from concentrating on their studies. The majority of the parents are dropouts from school by have stopped at primary or secondary education. Other parents never went to school. The limited knowledge in education made some parents lack the aspirations and support in investing in education. Parents give too much housework to their children at home than assisting them to study. They expose their children to too much idling for a long time in watching films/movies and football leagues, which to some extent limits the students’ concentration in academic work at home. Most of them do not have a home on their own and living in rented rooms with others, so the children are found with a lot of influences beyond the control of the parent. They cannot pay their children’s school fees on time due to the poor state of their conditions. In most cases, their children are asked out of class when their other classmates are being taught. By the time they could settle for class, they have lost the last lesson taught, so it leads them to failure.
Thirdly, due to the poor condition of the school and social environment, there was no attraction to motivate the teacher’s teaching and the students learning. Too many ghettoes, clubs within the environment is a sign of poverty within that locality as they are centers for frustrated, dropouts, and idling persons. Students may pay homage to such places whereby their education is affected, and their academic performance hindered.
Of course, we believe that students, especially secondary students, have the agency to some degree, and can reduce themselves the influence of poverty on their academic performance. In other words, poverty is not the sole factor to affect students’ academic performance. Therefore, the study finally proposed some recommendations to lessen the influence of poverty on secondary students.

Assessment of the Suitability of River Rutu for Irrigation purposes in Kokona, Nasarawa State, Nigeria
M.Y Adana, N.M Idris and M.K Dahiru – June 2022- Page No.: 390-393
The utilization of water high in ionic content may eventually lead to build up of substances in the soil at a level likely to affect the soil productivity and reduce in yields of crops. With this point, the suitability of River Rutu for irrigation purposes was attempted to ascertain the level of concentration of some of the parameters used in assessing water for irrigation. The study employed sampling at different points where 3 samples each were taken at the up stream, mid-stream and down stream of the river for both dry and wet seasons. The parameters analysed in the laboratory were pH, HCO3, CO3, Ca, Mg, TDS, B, EC, N, Na, NO3, SO4 and the suitability of the concentration of the parameters were determined through RSC, SAR, KI, MR. The results shows the mean values for SAR in both dry and wet seasons as 0.654meq/l and 0.6211meq/l respectively. RSC mean value for dry season is -16.85meq/l. However, the mean value for wet season was pegged at 10.9388meq/l. Based on the findings from the analysis on MR, the mean value was seen as 32.8711meq/l, for wet season and the dry season had 35.8950meq/l mean value. Kelley’s Ratio was measured at mean value of 0.073meq/l for dry season and wet season stood at 0.0542meq/l mean value. The study concluded that the results from the sampled water of River Rutu is good for irrigation regardless of seasonal variations and recommended that the water quality is good and can support all types of crops. Therefore, the Local and State Governments should provide loans and support farmers in Rutu to boost irrigation in the area in order to improve the nation’s agricultural value chain

Design, Extent of Use and Usefulness of Instructional Materials by Student Teachers on Teaching Practice –The Mentors’ Assessment
Peter Haruna – June 2022- Page No.: 394-398
Instructional materials (IM) play an essential role in the teaching and learning process. This study aimed at assessing Mentors’ assessment of the design and utilization of instructional materials by Student Teachers of St. Joseph’s College of Education, Bechem who were on a four months teaching practice in selected Basic Schools in the Tano North and South Municipalities of the Ahafo regions as well as the Ahafo-Ano South-East District and Ahafo-Ano North Municipality of the Ashanti region. The study adopted the survey research design. 150 mentors in 50 partner (Junior High) schools were used for the study. Three mentors were randomly selected from each school for the study. The research instrument was a five-point scale questionnaire with 9 items adopted from the PatternonPrince Edward Island Evaluation and Selection of Learning Resources survey form. The instrument had three domains; Instructional Design, Extent of Use and Usefulness. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics including mean, standard deviation and simple percentages. The analysis indicated that instructional materials prepared by the Student Teachers were Very Useful (Mean = 3.73), effective, engaging and well designed. They strongly agreed that the Student Teachers Very Often (Mean = 3.77) used instructional materials in their lesson delivery.

An Exploratory Study on Information Security Vulnerabilities in Higher Education: Case of University of Vocational Technology, Sri Lanka
H. A. Seneviratne, M. Thenabadu, W.M.G.K. Wijerathne – June 2022- Page No.: 399-403
The study investigates the University of Vocational Technology’s Information System’s (IS) security vulnerabilities. Aim of the study is to investigate general system security vulnerabilities, staff opinion on potential vulnerabilities of the system in relation to the CIA Triad and to identify measures to address vulnerability issues. Multiple data collection methods, such as questionnaire, observation, and focus group discussion, are used in case-study approach. According to the findings, hardware and software vulnerabilities indicated the highest possible occurrence (22%) and the occurrence of emanation vulnerabilities indicated the least (2 %) under identified general vulnerabilities. Findings of staff opinion on the IS security implemented in the University information system in terms of CIA triad, revealed that, majority were dissatisfied with the confidentiality, integrity and availability factors Hence, overall IS security satisfaction among university staff was found to be inadequate.
According to the results of the observations and focus group discussions the University of Vocational Technology’s information system was discovered to be highly vulnerable. The system performed poorly in all aspects of the CIA Triad, indicating that the system’s overall vulnerability is high. A number of recommendations are made based on focus group discussions to mitigate IS security vulnerabilities in the studied environment. The major recommendations are, improve information security awareness of staff, develop operator guidelines and develop and implement a successful vulnerability management programme for the University. Further, the study’s findings add to the body of knowledge of empirical studies relevant to the CIA Triad.

Effects of Funeral Celebration on Church Activities: A Study of Selected Branches of The Church of Pentecost Among the Birifor Ethnic Group of Ghana
Emmanuel Foster Asamoah, Jones Dwomoh Amankwah – June 2022- Page No.: 404-410
The study assessed the effects of funeral celebrations on church activities with reference to The Church of Pentecost. Data was sourced through key informant interviews and focus group discussions. The study focused on the Birifor ethnic group in the Savanna Region of Ghana. The findings underscore the likelihood that people belonging to the Birifor ethnic group over rate funerals. For instance, they would put everything on hold if a family member, distant or nuclear, kicks the bucket. This tends to impact negatively on church activities; church attendance is always low during funerals. Members do not participate fully in church activities; they tend to have divided attention even at church. The following recommendations were made based on the findings of the study: there is the need for the church to piggy-back on funerals to engage in active evangelism. There is the need for the church to accept the culture of the people and tailor their programmes to suit it by adopting and contextualizing their funeral celebrations to eliminate inherent practices that contradict Christian values. In addition, the church might want to intensify education on cultural issues in such a way that members become aware of where they ought to stand as Christians.

Paternalistic dominance: a system of social relations that controls women in Tanzania
Ludovick Myumbo – June 2022- Page No.: 411-419
Participatory narrative inquiry (PNI) was used to a group of six young women to create a space to recount their lived experiences. This was import given that women in some societies in Tanzania are socialized to accept a lesser status than their counterparts in exchange for protection and privilege, forming a relationship that is likened to paternalistic dominance. Regrettably, such gendered relations dominate and diminish women’s opportunities for self-actualization and wellbeing. At the end, a call is made to effectively challenge and dismantle a system that controls and dominates women and nature.

The Adolescents, the Vulnerable Group: A Case Study of the Informal and Formal Settlements in Epworth
Kenneth T. Mashonganyika – June 2022- Page No.: 424-432
Adolescence is a fascinating, interesting and challenging period of human growth and development. This is a period of great physical, social, emotional, physiological and psychological change. The adolescent is neither a child nor an adult but is on the threshold of adulthood. The adolescence period is characterised by the search for and consolidation of identity. In different cultures, it is a period of initiation characterised by circumcision (boys) and with girls, it is a time they experience their growth spurt (menarche). It should be noted, however, that this is not a chance phenomenon: it occurs as a result of the fact that girls are born with more mature skeletons and nervous systems, Mwamwenda (2003). This article concentrates on vulnerability and child abuse, especially the girl child because girls are the most vulnerable group in all cultures and societies of the world. It is estimated that 25-50% of adolescents are exposed to risk behaviours with negative health and behavioural outcomes such as drug abuse, crime, unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases (STIs). Topics covered in this article are:
1. Child maltreatment
2. Substance abuse
3. Delinquency
4. Sexuality
5. Suicide ideations
Due to the paucity of literature regarding parent attitudes toward adolescent problems, the subject is covered only in a limited fashion. However, there is a growing concern that young people need to be aware of the interventions available to them regardless of the little knowledge of adolescent perceptions of these problems. Although education can teach the young people what support is available, they will not seek help if they, themselves, do not perceive the existence of a problem. Therefore more research is needed to survey adolescent attitudes toward the various high at-risk behaviours as well as determine how to promote help-seeking behaviours and positive youth development, WHO (2016).

English Language Teachers’ Attitude towards Fante – English Code-Switching and Its Pedagogic Functions in Ghanaian Primary Schools
Stephen Acquah – June 2022- Page No.: 440-449
In as much as some experts advocate the sole use of target language as the medium of instruction, others advocate a bilingual mode of classroom instruction such as code-switching, making code-switching in the language classroom a debatable issue of concern. This study therefore investigated English Language teachers’ attitude towards the socio-linguistic phenomenon of code-switching and its pedagogic relevance resulting from the types of code-switching utilized in the language classroom. In order to provide an in-depth information on code-switching during classroom discourse, case study research design was adopted. Nine upper primary English Language teachers and their respective learners were purposively sampled from 3 public basic schools in Yamoransa within the Mfantseman Municipality. Qualitative data in the form of interview and observation were collected and analysed using discourse analysis method. The study revealed that teachers have predominantly positive attitude towards code-switching and they use intersentential, intrasentential and tag switching during English language lessons as an integral pedagogic resource to enhance learners’ understanding and vocabulary acquisition. In view of this, it is recommended that both teacher trainees and practicing English language teachers should be educated on the existing types of code-switching and how to use them strategically to induce learning and enhance acquisition of the English language

Abanobi, C. C. (Ph.D), Nwaozor, Christopher Zenoyi, Okonye, Clementina Obiageri – June 2022- Page No.: 460-468
This study investigated undergraduates’ knowledge and practice of COVID 19 preventive measures in tertiary institutions in Delta State. Three research questions and six null hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. 1,460 undergraduates in various tertiary institutions in Delta State comprised the study sample. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire titled ‘Knowledge and Practice of COVID 19 Preventive Measures among Undergraduates Questionnaire (KPCPMUQ)’. The KPCPMUQ was validated by measurement and evaluation experts. The reliability coefficient of KPCPMUQ was 0.81. Mean and standard deviation statistics were used to answer the research questions. T-t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that undergraduates in tertiary institutions in Delta State to a high extent have knowledge of COVID 19, and the extent of undergraduates’ knowledge of COVID 19 in tertiary institutions in Delta State did not differ significantly based on gender and school type. Undergraduates in tertiary institutions in Delta State to a high extent have knowledge of COVID-19 preventive measures, and, the extent of undergraduates’ knowledge of preventive measures of COVID 19 in tertiary institutions in Delta State based on gender and school type did not differ significantly. Undergraduates in various institutions in Delta State to a low extent practice COVID-19 preventive measures, and, the extent of undergraduates’ practice of COVID 19 preventive measures in tertiary institutions in Delta State did not differ significantly based on gender and school type. Based on the findings, the study recommended among others that the Federal and State governments should make health policies and enforce same to ensure strict compliance to COVID-19 preventive measures in the society. Authorities of tertiary institutions should assist government agencies to ensure that undergraduates strictly comply with NCDC COVID-19 regulations for educational institutions in Nigeria.

Critical Appraisal of the Central Bank of Nigeria (Amendment) Act, 2007: A Panacea for Stronger Central Banking in Africa
Dr. Onwudinjo Louis Ejike – June 2022- Page No.: 469-476
This study critically appraised the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) (Amendment) Act of 2007 with a view of preferring suggestions for stronger central banking in Africa. The Act was critically reviewed and compared with major central banks in the World. Findings revealed amongst others that independence of the CBN is the greatest innovation brought about by the Act, but the independency has not influenced the development of the country’s economy. Secondly, the Act did not include other developmental functions of modern central banking, but retained monetary policy as a key role of the bank. Thirdly, the Act provides that the qualifications of the would-be governor or deputy governor of CBN shall be persons of only financial experience. On these, some recommendations were proffered which include amongst others that the independence of central banks in Africa should be enshrined in African Union Charter; that Central banking should be insulated from partisan politics; that central bank governors, and their deputies should be elected, and not appointed; that there is need for proper coordination between the fiscal and monetary authorities in an economy; that merit rather than any other considerations should be the basis of appointment of central bank governors; that economists should govern central banks in Africa; that central banking roles in Africa should go beyond monetary stability to include other developmental functions like job creation; that Central banks in Africa should bring down both lending and inflation rates to single digits and also maintain a competitive exchange rate system .

The Effect of Coal DMO Policy on National Energy Security in Supporting National Defense and Security
Fajar Gunawan Afandi, Donny Yoesgiantoro, Lukman Yudho Prakoso – June 2022- Page No.: 477-481
People’s dependence on electricity is very large, and the largest electricity company in Indonesia currently uses coal as the main fuel for power generation, considering the affordable price and the large availability of coal reserves in Indonesia. The need for coal in the global market is also very large, resulting in a significant increase in coal prices, this makes domestic coal producers prefer to sell coal to the global market. Coal exports do provide great benefits for Indonesia, but domestic needs must also be met. DMO is a policy to maintain coal energy reserves available. In other words, the DMO policy affects the level of national energy security. Indonesia’s energy security can be seen through several criteria, namely avalibility, accessibility, affordability, acceptability, and sustainability (4A+1S).

Corporate Governance and the Quality of Service Delivery in Local Authorities: Case of Masvingo Municipality
Onismo Maibeki, Krammer Chatiza, Sharon Chisango and Benard Chisiri – June 2022- Page No.: 482-499
It is arguably true that local authorities are expected to play a pivotal role in improving the economy of any nation in general and the standard of living for the citizens. However, governance challenges have been reported as one of the causes of poor performance and lack of sustainability in institutions. In recent years, local authorities have been experiencing poor governance, deplorable service delivery, misuse of public funds and failure to comply with laws. Upon realising that the quality of life of the urban residents in any country is to some extent related to the quality of service delivery by the local municipality of that city, the researchers felt primed to explore corporate governance (CG) issues. The main objective of the study was to examine the impact of CG on the quality of service delivery in Masvingo city. In probing the problem at hand, the study adopted a mixed methodology to generate data from a sample size of 70 research participants drawn from Masvingo Municipality. Questionnaires and interviews were administered to collect data from municipality employees, the Town Clerk, auditor, Councilors and residents of Masvingo city. The study revealed that CG impacts the quality of service delivery both positively and negatively. It was noted that failure to uphold the elements of CG could translate to poor service delivery while religious implementation of the elements of CG could create a conducive environment for achieving enhanced quality service delivery. Challenges such as nepotism, corruption, political interference and lack of financial resources were identified as rampant in Masvingo city. Measures to improve the quality of service delivery were suggested, namely, employees to be trained to improve their professional competence; nepotism, political interference and corruption be shunned to encourage good CG. It was also recommended that an all-stakeholder approach be put in place so that the elements of CG are taken into consideration for the sake of improving the quality of service delivery in Masvingo city

Determinants of Sports Participation in Extramural Competitions by Athletes in Tertiary Institutions in Ekiti State, Nigeria
Aina, Olufunke Olayinka – June 2022- Page No.: 512-517
This study investigated the determinants of sports participation in extramural competition by athletes in tertiary institutions in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Descriptive research design of the survey type was used for this study. The population of the study comprised all athletes in 5 private and 4 public tertiary institutions in Ekiti State. The research is descriptive because it is concerned with the collection of data for the purpose of describing and interpreting existing condition on practice, beliefs, and attitude regarding athletes’ participation in sporting activities. The choice of this design is aimed at collecting data on and observing in systematic manner, the characteristics, feature of facts about determining factor to sports participation by athletes in tertiary institutions in Ekiti State. Therefore, this design is considered appropriate for this study. The sample of this study comprised 300 athletes selected from tertiary institutions in Ekiti State. Proportional stratified random sampling technique was used to select 3 publics institutions and 1 private institution in Ekiti State while simple random sampling technique was used to select athletes from each institution which comprised 125 Ekiti State University athletes, 75 Federal Polytechnic athletes, 50 College of Education athletes and 50 Afe Babalola University Athletes, making a total of 300 athletes selected altogether. A questionnaire developed by the researcher titled ‘Athletes Sports Participation Questionnaire (ASPQ)’ was used to elicit information for the study. The questionnaire is made up of four (4) sections, A, B, C and D. Section A was used to collect bio data of respondents (to include age, level, Department, Faculty and name of institution). Section B addressed participation level of the respondents in extramural sports competitions such frequency of participation in the last 4 years and the type of sporting events performed. Section C was used to measure the level of availability of standard sports facilities such as soccer field, basketball court, volleyball court, handball court, hockey pitch, badminton court, athletic track, athletic field, swimming pool, cricket pitch and tennis courts. To determine the respondents view in this section, ordinal scale of ‘available and not-available responses were used. Section D was designed to address determinant of participation variables such as provision of incentives by institutions. To determine the respondents’ views in this section D, four points likert scale type of responses raging from Strongly Agree (SA) 4 points, Agree (A) 3 points, Disagree (D) 2 points and Strongly Disagree (SD) 1 point was specified against each item. In order to ensure face and content validity of the instrument, a draft copy of the instrument was presented to experts in sports administration as well as Tests, Measurement and Evaluation for criticism, correction and modification. The copy of corrected and modified version of the instrument was prepared for final use. The reliability of the instrument was ascertained through pilot study, which involved 20 copies of the instrument administered on the respondents in Federal University Oye which is not part of the selected institutions. The internal consistency (or reliability) of the instrument was established. This was done by test-retest procedure in which the version of the instrument was administered on the earlier selected sample. At the interval of two weeks, the same instrument was re-administered on the same set of respondents. The scores of the two tests (i.e. test and re-test) were correlated using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Analysis and the reliability coefficients of 0.67 was obtained. This was adjudged to be high enough for the study. Specifically, this study examined the level of participation in extramural sports by athletes in tertiary institutions in Ekiti State; determined the extent to which availability of sports facilities improve participation in extramural sports by athletes in tertiary institutions in Ekiti State and determined the extent to which availability of coaches improve participation in extramural sports by athletes in tertiary institutions in Ekiti State. The findings of the result also shown that availabiity of standard facilities accounted for about 2.4% (R2 ×100) of the proportion of variability in sports participation by athletes.Thus, availability of facilities significantly determine sports participation by athletes in tertiary institutions in Ekiti State. The findings of the result also indicates that attitude of coaches only account for 0.6% (R2 ×100) of the proportion of variability in sports participation by athletes. Therefore, attitude of coaches is not a significant determinant of participation in extramuralsports by athletes in tertiary institutions in Ekiti state. The findings of the result further showed that Attitude of coaches explained not less than 7.6% (R2 ×100) of the proportion of variability in sports participation by athletes. Thus, availability of coaches significantly determined sports participation in extramural sports by athletes in tertiary institutions in Ekiti State. Based on the findings of this study, it was concluded that the available facilities in tertiary institutions in Ekiti State are basketball court, tennis courts, volley ball court, soccer field, athletic track, hand ball court, athletic field and badminton court while swimming pool, hockey pitch, cricket pitch and gymnasium were less available facilities; it was also concluded that, availability of standard facilities, availability of coaches, parental influence and peer influence determines participation in extramural sports by athletes. It was further concluded that, attitude of coaches, provision of sports incentives and lecturers’ attitude to sports that could be expected to determine participation in sports by athletes are not sufficient condition for participation in extramural competitions in tertiary institutions. No single tertiary institution stand the better chance to participate more than the other because the condition of facilities and equipment are almost the same. Therefore, it was recommended based on the findings of the study that Sports coaches should be encouraged to develop attitude that conform with the rules and regulation guiding their professsion. This will enable them to inculcate the spirit of sportmanship in atheltes during their training period and also Sports week should be offically launched in all tertiary institutions to encouraged athletes mass participation in sports. Sports Participation Taskforce should be authorised by the institutions to ensure compliance from the lecturers who usually engage student during sports lecture free periods.

Treasury Single Account and Sustainable Development of Deposit Money Banks
Egolum, Priscilla Uchenna, PhD; Iliemena, Rachael Okwudili, PhD; Ezeh Augustina A. – June 2022- Page No.: 518-523
In this study, we empirically examined the adoption of treasury single account (TSA) as an accounting practice for sustainable growth and development and its long term effect on selected quoted deposit money banks in Nigeria in relation to sustainability. The specific objectives examined how the adoption of TSA has affected return on equity, return on assets and earnings per share of the bank using ex-post facto research design on audited annual reports. Convenience sampling was used to select 10 (ten) banks based on financial statements availability, out of 15 deposit money banks listed on Nigeria Stock Exchange, from 2011 to 2015 (before adoption) and from 2016 to 2020 (after adoption). Formulated hypotheses were tested using t-test statistics and evidence revealed that the adoption of TSA significantly improved return on equity, return on asset and earnings per share of the banks. Thus, it is recommended that TSA compliance should be encouraged and sustainably maintained by the Nigerian deposit money banks as it promotes transparency, accountability and good governance without compromising the continuous growth of the banks

Jimoh Bakare, Ph.D, Amenger Maashin, Ph.D & Mukaila Abiodun Yisa, Ph.D – June 2022- Page No.: 524-531
The study investigated the influence of demographic variables on the academic performance and entrepreneurial intentions of electro-mechanical technology students in Nigerian Universities. Three research questions were answered while the three hypotheses formulated were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted a correlational research design and was carried out in South Eastern States of Nigeria. The population for the study was 250 students of electro-mechanical technology. There was no sampling because of manageable size of the population. The instrument for data collection was questionnaire titled influence of Demographic Variable on Performance and Entrepreneurial Intention (IDVPEIQ). Three experts face- validated the instrument and the internal consistency of the questionnaire items was determined using Cronbach alpha reliability method; the overall reliability coefficient of 0.84 was obtained for questionnaire items. Pearson product moment correlation method, Point –biserial correlation, multiple regression and hayes process macro (model 1) were used to analyse data for answering research questions and testing the hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed that: (i) socio-demographic variable have a positive influence on academic performance of electro-mechanical technology students (ii) socio-demographic variables have a negative influence on entrepreneurial intentions of electro-mechanical technology students (iii) academic performance have a positive relationship with entrepreneurial intentions of electro-mechanical technology students. The findings on hypotheses revealed that (i) there was a significant relationship between academic performance and entrepreneurial intentions of electro-mechanical technology students (ii) there was a significant relationship between socio-demographic variables and academic performance of electro-mechanical students. Recommendations include that government, school administrators and teachers should take necessary steps to make sure entrepreneurial intentions and academic performance of students get improved.

Implementation of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management in Flood-Prone Areas in Camarines Sur: Basis for Policy Recommendations
Jennifer Cordez San Jose – June 2022- Page No.: 532-536
The study determined the Level of Implementation of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) in Flood-Prone Areas in Camarines Sur, Philippines. Specifically, the study focused on the level of implementation and problems encountered in four thematic areas of DRRM, namely: Prevention and Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Rehabilitation and Recovery.
The Descriptive-Evaluative Inferential Method was used in the study. A five-point Likert scale questionnaire was used in gathering the data. The reliability of the questionnaire was determined by means of Kuder Richardson Formula. The same was validated by academic experts well-versed in the topic and disaster management practitioners. Purposive or selective sampling was used in choosing the MDRRMC while convenience sampling was the sampling technique used for community residents. One hundred twenty-one (121) members of the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council and three hundred (300) residents in flood-prone areas in Camarines Sur, Philippines were the respondents of the study. The population represented by the 300 respondents were household members specifically, the head of the family. Frequency count, percentage, rank, weighted mean, and Wilcoxon Mann Whitney U-Test were the statistical tools used in the study.
Findings revealed that DRRM Programs were implemented in flood-prone areas in Camarines Sur namely, Milaor, San Fernando, Libmanan, Sipocot, Camaligan, Canaman, Magarao, Buhi, Nabua and Iriga City. Conversely, some of the problems encountered by the respondents on four thematic areas rated as “Serious” were: lack of community drills, inadequate disaster facilities and equipment, poor implementation of laws, absence of Standard Operation Manual, inadequate community warning system, lack of disaster response vehicles, and the reluctance of residents to pre-emptively evacuate.

A Stylistic Analysis of Selected Speeches of Prominent Politicians in Adamawa State of Nigeria.
Abdullahi Muhammad Sani – June 2022- Page No.: 537-542
This is a corpus-based study which is focused on the stylistic analysis of selected political speeches of prominent politicians of Adamawa State. The researcher deliberately presents two speeches of His Excellency Murtala Nyako the then governor of Adamawa State and Dr. Jonathan Silas Zwingina, Deputy Senate Leader and Senator representing Adamawa South Senatorial District respectively. The corpus was analysed based on Leech and Short’s (1981), checklist and stylistic categories: graphology, lexical, syntactic and rhetorical features. The lexical features of the speeches show that, the politicians used the lexical items for self-identification and to show that the context of the speeches center on politics. It was also discovered that the politicians used rhetorical devices to capture the minds of the audience. However, the tone and texture of the two speakers slightly vary. This was speculated through the lexical items used by the two speakers. It was also identified that compound complex sentences were used in their speeches, in order to compress more information to their audience. This study recommends the use of simple sentences by the politicians as this will enhance more comprehension by their targeted audience. It was also recommended that the politicians should be objective and shun their personal sentiments in public speeches.

Wife’s Inheritance Rights Due to Husband’s Division with Raj’i Divorce According to Islamic Law
Mas’ut, Siti Malikhatun Badriyah, Marjo, R. Suharto, Hendro Saptono – June 2022- Page No.: 543-547
Inheritance law is the law that regulates the transfer of property from the heir to the heirs and determines who the heirs are and determines the share of each. One of the reasons for the occurrence of mutual inheritance is the existence of a valid marital relationship between husband and wife. However, when husband and wife are divorced or divorce occurs, it will create a new law. That is, when the wife is in a state of raj’i divorce and then the husband dies while the wife is still in the Iddah period, the wife still gets the inheritance rights from the husband who died. Meanwhile, when the wife is divorced three times or divorced ba’in, the scholars of madzab agree that the wife does not get inheritance from her husband who dies even though it is still in iddah. Except for talak ba’in which the husband inflicts when he is sick, which intends to avoid giving the wife an inheritance, the scholars of madzab agree that the wife still gets the inheritance from her ex-husband.

This study was carried out in the rural community Nnobi and Nnewi communities in Anambra State to determine the library and information services available to the rural dwellers of the community with reference to rural dwellers’ information needs. Questionnaire were used to obtain data from the library users while interview was employed to obtain data from civil servants, petty traders, farmers, artisans (welders, carpenters, hairdressers,) and the unemployed in the communities. It was gathered that rural dwellers’ sources of information are predominantly oral and their information need is relative to their type of occupation. More so, these group of people source information from their professional colleagues/trade masters, churches, through promotion by motor advertisements, television/radio and ceremonies, rural library provides the rural dwellers with information that are print based or documented on video/film; and majority of the rural dwellers are not aware of the resources and information provided by rural libraries but are willing to use them when services are modeled along their needs. As a result, the study recommended that rural library should conduct needs assessment so as to model their services towards the needs of their communities and that rural library providers should utilize the oral information sources that the rural communities are familiar with while providing their innovative information services.

Evaluation of Entrepreneurial Management in Ghanaian SMEs Using Cognitive Ambidexterity Analytical Model
Edi Irawan – June 2022- Page No.: 559-568
The connection between headship and improvement has gained increasing consideration in recent researchers. Some researchers suggested that headship is one of the most influential indicators of innovation. Formulating consistent innovative and improvement policies is a difficult task, but successfully implementing them is even more challenging but enhance growth.
In this survey, the connection between cognitive style and individual’s capacity to take part in innovation as well as improvement among Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) managers was assessed. Again, how managers concurrently oversee innovation and improvement requests that needed for great performance was also inspected.
Both primary data which is made up of interviews and questionnaires and secondary source of data including textbooks, business articles and journals and the internet were employed in this research. In all twenty SMEs in Kumasi Metropolis were chosen for the study involving a total number of one hundred (100) respondents who returned their questionnaires.
Concerning impact of cognitive style of a manager on innovative deeds, this research reveals that the higher investigative cognitive style of a manager more active he participates in innovative deeds. The information shows a positive significant linear relationship (p<0.001) between a manager’s investigative cognitive style and the degree the person would take part in both innovative and improvement activities.
It shows that analytical managers have an inclination for innovative deeds, and so are bound to conduct effectively. Again the study revealed that a manager with more logical cognitive style, the higher he/she engages in innovative events. Again, it was showed that a positive connection between a manager’s analytic intellectual style and his singular ambidexterity. Moreover, outcome of study shows that managers with a prevailing intellectual style (either instinct or logical) are bound to involve in innovative exercises

Moderating Effect of Enterprise Environmental Factors on the Relationship Between Project Management Practices and Sustainability of Food Security Projects in Arid Lands, Kenya
Nyaga Juster Gatumi, Dr. Lucy Ngugi, Dr. Franklin Kinoti – June 2022- Page No.: 569-577
Although inclination with execution related to food projects in many regions has displayed substantial improvements, the tendency with sustainability is relatively unsatisfactory, as less projects shows continuity. Government has put measures by creating partnership to implement food security projects towards improving food access and security among communities in arid lands. However, some projects remain partially operational after the withdrawal of the main donor while others become defunct and variations from one county to another is noticeable. The difference in the levels of sustainability had been hypothesized to be attributed to enterprise environmental factors (EFFs). This study thus sought to examine the moderating effect of EEFs on the relationship between project management practices and the sustainability of food security projects in arid lands in Kenya. The study is anchored on contingency theory. Positivist philosophy is deemed appropriate for this study. Explanatory research design was adopted. The study targeted 413 food security projects implemented between the year 2014 and 2017 and within eight Counties in arid lands in Kenya with a sample of 203 food security projects. The respondents were 243, consisting of project group leaders, UN agencies representative and County government representatives. Stratified random sampling was used to obtain proportionate (obtained suing Slovin’s Formula) samples from each of the eight Counties. Primary data was collected using self-administered questionnaire. Characteristics of the data was explained using means and standard deviation. Various diagnostic tests were carried out after which step-wise regression was applied to test the moderating effects. The results indicated that EEFs moderated the relationship between the project management practices and sustainability of food security projects. The study recommends that project leaders embrace various EEFs such as policies to improve the effects of project management practices on the performance of the food security projects.

Nigerian Popular Music: Social Mediation Amid Musicality
Dr. Saeedat Bolajoko Aliyu – June 2022- Page No.: 578-581
Music is a fundamental feature of the African society. One of its indispensable values is its entertainment function. Music has also been used overtime to engender positive social changes in the society. Using this popular medium, traditional African musicians and poets have used their composing ingenuity not only to please their audience but also to lampoon, satirize, moralize, preach and call for individual and collective changes or conformity to established social, religious, or cultural norms, as the circumstances dictate. In Nigeria’s recent past, the late Fela Anikulapo- Kuti, Sunny Okosun, Ebenezer Obey, and Osita Osadebe are examples of musicians who used their music to comment on the challenges of life in Nigeria and elsewhere. They also gained popularity from the entertainment value of their various kinds of music. However, commercialisation brought about by the realities of the socio-political and economic conditions of life seems to have made the music of emerging Nigerian musicians lose social relevance. This article studies via document analysis the thematic trends in some of the songs of Asa, a popular Nigerian musician who has received wide acclaim across the world. This paper concludes that social relevance and commercial success are two states which can be achieved simultaneously by emerging Nigerian musicians without apprehension, especially in a world which rates commercial success as a parameter for popularity.

Edi Irawan – June 2022- Page No.: 582-586
The purpose of this study is to find out and analyze the factors that influence open unemployment in Sumbawa Regency in 2012-2021. The research method used in this study is a quantitative method. Analysis of the data used is the multiple regression method. The results of the study show that inflation, the economic growth rate of Sumbawa Regency and the HDI (Human Development Index) in Sumbawa Regency together have a significant effect on the open unemployment rate in Sumbawa Regency in 2012 – 2021. This can be seen in the F Test where the significance value is smaller than 0.05 (0.001 < 0.05). Then the magnitude of the influence on each of the independent variables mentioned above varies. The highest influence is found in the variable rate of economic growth of 2.100% then inflation of 0.193% and the HDI (Human Development Index) of 0.160%. So the variable rate of regional economic growth in Sumbawa Regency has a big impact on changes in the open unemployment rate in Sumbawa Regency.

Students’ Attitude towards Mathematics and Academic Performance in Public Senior Secondary Schools Madagali Local Government Area, Adamawa State
Marcel Papka Agah, Ogabaka, David Thankgod – June 2022- Page No.: 587-592
TThis study focused on the attitude of students towards mathematics and academic performance in senior secondary schools in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State. This study adopted a descriptive survey research design as it deals with people’s views and hence was relevant to the study area. Two hundred (200) students responded to the questionnaire. Data were collected using the questionnaire and were analysed using mean, frequency counts and percentages to answer research questions 1 and 2 while t-test was used to test the two hypotheses raised at 0.05 levels of significance. The t-test analysis showed that there is a significant relationship between students’ attitude and their academic performance in mathematics. The t-test analysis of students’ responses to their attitude to Mathematics based on gender showed there is no significant difference between male and female students’ attitude towards mathematics. Based on the research findings, the following conclusions were made; there is a significant relationship between students’ attitude towards mathematics and their academic performance in Mathematics within Madagali Local Government Area. Also, that despite the low achievement of students in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State, a positive relationship on attitude towards mathematics and performance in mathematics was detected. The following are recommended based on the findings of this study; There is need for mathematics teachers to help students have positive attitude towards mathematics by helping them to build confidence and by encouraging the belief that everyone can do mathematics. The Parent Teacher Association (PTA), Philanthropists and the Government should boost the mathematics achievement of students by building mathematics laboratories and providing library facilities in schools. Also, there is need for parents to encourage and sustain positive attitude towards mathematics in their children by providing the necessary materials for learning mathematics and ensuring that the home is conducive for learning.

To What Extent Has Girl Child Education Been Promoted by The Government of Uganda at Secondary School Level?
Kayindu Vincent, Kazibwe Sophia, Asiimwe Specioza – June 2022- Page No.: 593-598
This paper presents an analysis of girl child education in Uganda at secondary school level, as a result of the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women. Since Uganda is a signatory to this convention, it put in place many policies so as to end whatever was perceived as discriminatory against women. In the Education sector, policies and programmes have been put in place to promote girl child education. These include Universal Primary Education (UPE), Universal Secondary Education (USE), The National Strategy for Girls’ Education (NSGE), The Promotion of Girls’ Education (PGE) Scheme, The Equity in the Classroom (EIC) programme, the Alternative Basic Education for Karamoja (ABEK), The Classroom Construction Grant (CCG) programme, The Gender desk in the Ministry of Education and Sports headquarters, The Girls’ Education Movement in Africa (GEM), Child Friendly School programme, Focusing Resources for Effective School Health (FRESH), among others. This paper analysed girl chil education by basing on three questions namely: What is the Enrolment level of girls at secondary school level in Uganda?; what is the completion rate of girls at secondary school level in Uganda; and what is the academic performance of girls at secondary school level in Uganda?. The analysis was made on the data from the Uganda Bureau of Statistics, 2020, a government body which produces quarterly and annual statistical reports for all the ministries in Uganda. The findings were that the enrolment, retention and performance of girls in Uganda’s secondary schools is good and does not differ significantly from that of the boys. However, in rural areas, some girls are married off at an early age and hence drop out of school and in some instances, their performance is poor. It is therefore suggested that parents, religious leaders, non-government organizations, as well as the government do more to educate the masses on the dangers of early marriages and school drop-out so that all girls who enroll in school can finish.

Determining the Relationship of Use of Technology-Enabled Learning and Perceived Academic Performance Among College students in St. Mary’s College of Bansalan, Inc.
Maria Paula Guinsisana, Ariel Morales, Princess Rheane Sabanal, Arjie Ybañez, Vlajeck Llerin, Mark Van M. Buladaco – June 2022- Page No.: 599-604
Technology plays an essential role in many aspects of society, notably in our educational system. It allows for a variety of platforms to be used in accomplishing a student’s educational goals. Students’ comprehension of content and development of abilities in areas like analytical reasoning, downside resolution, data analysis, and artistic thinking can all be improved by increasing the use of technology. The principal objective of this correlational research study was to measure the significant correlation between use of technology-enabled learning and academic performance among college students in St. Mary’s College of Bansalan, Inc. (SMCBI). In order to explain the relationships between technology and learning, the researchers in this study used a correlational research approach. Using 100 students from the second semester of the school year 2021-2022 and their departments. There are five departments: BSIT, BSBA, BSHM, BEED, and BSED. The survey results showed that the use of technology-enabled learning is very high and that the perceived academic performance is high. Furthermore, the positive correlations between Use of Technology-Enabled Learning and Perceived Academic Performance shows that there is a significant relationship between the Usage of Technology-Enabled Learning and Perceived Academic Performance, which means that Usage of Technology-Enabled Learning increasesPerceived Academic Performance also increases.

Archaeological Reflections and the Study of South Asian Buddhism
Dr. Sumudu Dharmarathna – June 2022- Page No.: 605-609
As we are aware, there are two bodies of data available to study the history of Buddhism – literary material and archaeological and epigraphic material. Traditionally it is accepted that the large body of literary material is the most suitable for the studies of religious. From the mid-nineteenth century there has been a significant shift in the direction of Buddhist studies, because, on the one hand, literary works of Buddhist traditions came to be discovered one after another. On the other hand, archaeological and epigraphical sources were considered a powerful historical witness of Buddhist cultural history. Thus, while considering the significance of archaeological sources than the textual material for religious studies, most of them were attempted to make various arguments on the texts-bound studies of Buddhism. In this article, attention has been paid to this debatable issue regarding much more accurate sources material for the study of the nature of Buddhist religious culture. Here my attempt is made to explore new interpretations of the history of Buddhism readdressing some of early implications while reevaluating previous researches on the subject, dealing with architectural and inscriptional materials of the region.

Sexual Harassment Bill and The Missing Link Between Lecturers and Students: Implications for Job Security of Educators
Morrison Umor Iwele (Ph. D) – June 2022- Page No.: 610-617
The study aimed to establish the missing link between lecturers and students on the sexual harassment bill considered by the Senate (the apex law making body of Nigeria) and the implications for job security of lecturers(educators) in the nation. Tis was prompted by the level of moral decadence among students and the vulnerability of male lecturers who are regularly emotionally, psychologically and physically sexually harassed yet, are seen as sexual harassers as the bill is literally directed against them without considering students as accomplices. the study adopted a descriptive design; it was guided by two research questions and two null hypotheses. The population of the study comprised all lecturers and students of tertiary institutions in Delta State, Nigeria while the sample size consisted of 600 respondents (200 lecturers, 400 students) accidentally selected from four purposively selected institutions (two state universities, one federal college of education, and one state polytechnic). The instrument for data collection was a researcher’s self-developed questionnaire with a 4-point rating scale. It was validated by two experts while the reliability was established through a trial test. The split-half method of test was used and the data collected were tested for consistency with the Cronbach Alpha formular at 0.05 level of significance and a consistency value of 0.81 was achieved and the instrument was adjudged reliable. 600 copies of the instrument were administered to the respondents while 571 copies representing 95% of the total number were returned. Descriptive and inferential statistics of mean score and standard deviation were used for analysis while t-test was used for the test of the hypotheses. Findings in the study reveal among other things that, the sexual harassment bill considered by the Nigerian senate was a welcome development but negatively skewed against lecturers as lecturers could be victims of sexual harassment by default and could be wrongly targeted and used against by perceived enemies. The study recommended among other things that, considering the status of tertiary institutions in the nation and sex as a universal activity, when making laws on such activities, a representative of all the stakeholder should be incorporated from the very beginning to avoid perceived or possible oversights

Undergraduate Students’ Knowledge of Nutritional Practices: Implications for Active Ageing
Dr. (Mrs.) Okoh, Patricia Ayaegbunem – June 2022- Page No.: 618-625
This study investigated undergraduate students’ knowledge, practices and implications for active ageing the study was conducted in Edo and Delta States, Nigeria. The design of the study was ex-post facto research design. two research questions and two null hypotheses were raised and formulated to guide the study. The population of the study was all students in public universities in Edo and Delta States, Nigeria. The sample for the study comprised 400 students, 200 males and 200 females respectively from 100 to 400 levels in public universities in Edo and Delta States, Nigeria. Due to the heterogeneity of the sample, purposive sampling technique was used. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire titled; Students’ Nutritional and Health Practices Questionnaire (SNHPQ). It was a 4 – point rating scale and responses weighted as strongly Agree = 4 points, Agree = 3 points, Disagree = 2 points and strongly disagree = 1 point. The questionnaire was subjected to face and content validity. The reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach Alpha and a coefficient of 0.86 was derived. 400 copies of the instrument were administered and 100% return was attained. Data collected were analyzed using mean (x̅) scores and standard deviations. The score of 2.50 was the criterion mean (x̅) to determine the level of acceptance of each mean (x̅). t-test was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings in the study showed, among other things, that most students in public universities in Edo and Delta States have adequate knowledge of nutritional practices for promoting active ageing, possessed similar knowledge in the areas of nutritional practices required for ageing actively irrespective of gender and have good knowledge of nutritional value of adequate food (water, eating vegetables and fruits, lean meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, nuts, seeds and legumes) intake and possible avoidance of alcohol intake; however, certain nutritional practices like eating between meals, skipping of meals should be avoided to promote healthy living that enhance ageing actively. Based on the findings, it was recommended among other things that, students should be exposed to dietary recommendations by experts in their homes and schools to attain good health and age actively and that, university authorities and students’ union bodies should help to display the food pyramid chat in all eating centers in university campuses, to enable students work out their meal plans to maintain good nutrition that aids active ageing.

Contemporary Security Challenges and Agitation for State Police in Nigeria: Issues and Perspectives
Sani Garba Wakili & Ibrahim Adamu – June 2022- Page No.: 632-637
This study examined some issues and perspectives regarding agitation for creation of state police in Nigeria due to contemporary security challenges across the country (insurgency, cattle rustling, armed robbery, kidnappings, raping, farmers/herders conflicts among others) and ineffectiveness of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) in discharging its constitutional mandate of maintaining law and order as well as protecting live and property of the people; some individuals and groups are calling for restructuring of the force for effective and efficient policing. The study acquired and analyzed available data in documents; based on this, the study has found that there are two divergent perspectives regarding restructuring of the NPF. Due to increasing problems of insecurity, some Nigerians are in support of establishment of state police under the constitutional control of the state governments in Nigeria. This will be through devolution of power; by placing it on the concurrent legislative list. This is because, it will help in curbing the current security challenges in the polity; the state police force is expected to comprise officers who understand the language, geography/terrain and the peculiar security challenges of the people they would be policing. This is in line with the principle of federalism, to decentralize or create state police. While others are of the view that, there is no need for two-tier police structure in the country due to behavior of Nigeria’s political figures. Objection is basically for fear of abuse of state police by state governors, ruling political parties and politicians which by extension fear of their use to intimidate political opponents, ethnic and religious minorities, and non-indigenes. The antagonists, advocated for internal reform of the NPF for effective service delivery. Considering the characteristics and character of Nigerian political actors, the study recommended the reform of the NPF

Niger Delta Conflict and the Challenge of Oil Security in Nigeria
Malachy Chidike Igwilo – June 2022- Page No.: 638-644
TThis paper is concerned with the current unrest bedeviling Nigeria’s oil industry which is very instructive in terms of the threat it poses to the entire nation and the world. There is a sign that the crisis is still in its infancy in terms of its potentials to intensify leading to a full scale civil war in the region and possibly the whole country. This creates a great problem for Nigerian government, since disturbances in the oil flow is affecting the fragile but growing economy, and for the world since the general oil supply to the world may be disrupted to a disturbing proportion. In the face of this now monumental problem, there is still a lack of understanding of the interplay between geography and politics and between resources and conflict on the part of the Nigerian government such that their posturing and interventions will necessarily further the conflict and threaten security further rather than ameliorate it. This paper using the philosophical methods of analysis, criticism and theorizing, is submitting that in the present situation, there is a need for a clearer understanding of the conflict to better deal with the problem. It is the position of this paper that the current crisis requires a deep reassessment of government’s understanding of the region to better secure oil flows and also avoid full scale civil war.

Family factors and prevalence of drug and substance abuse amongst youth in institutions of higher learning in Mombasa County, Kenya
Lida Mbuya Nyaoke, Moses Otieno, PhD – June 2022- Page No.: 645-649
Drug and substance abuse is a major public health issue globally with serious socio-economic burden especially among the young population between the ages of 18 to 30 years enrolled in various institutions of higher learning. The objective of this study was to establish how family factors influence the prevalence of drug and substance abuse amongst youth in institutions of higher learning in Mombasa County. The study adopted descriptive research design and data collected using questionnaire from a sample size of 340 respondents selected through simple random sampling from a target population of 2977 students from KMTC-Port Reitz Campus, Mombasa polytechnic University and Nairobi University while analysis involved descriptive statistics. Findings showed that lack of direction and purpose in life, lack of monitoring, rejection, isolation and spiritual emptiness influenced drug and substance abuse amongst youth in institutions of higher learning in Mombasa County. The study recommends that parents need to ensure that children form appropriate bonds and learn age appropriate behaviors by being positive role models and showing their children the negative aspects of substance abuse. Further, projects should be set up to ensure that determinants of the prevalence of drug and substance abuse amongst youth in Mombasa County are addressed and consequently eradicated

Sociocultural Factors Influencing Women’s participation in political Leadership in Kakamega County, Kenya
Mukhwana Laura Nasimiyu, Esmeralda Mariano – June 2022- Page No.: 650-656
Kenya still falls short of the (2/3rd) gender parity rule in National and County political leadership. Articles 27(8) and (81) (b) of the Kenyan Constitution sought to increase women’s representation by requiring a minimum of one-third representation of either gender in all elected and public posts. The Kenyan Constitution (2010) sought to correct past historical gender discrimination and injustices. However, Kenya’s male-dominated political arena has been hesitant to enact legislation to execute the gender quota law, unlike its neighboring countries. This problem has been exacerbated by sociocultural underpinnings existing in many Kenyan societies. The purpose of this study was to establish how sociocultural factors influence women’s ascend to political leadership in Kenya’s Kakamega County. The study adopted a descriptive research design. One hundred and sixty respondents were interviewed using a questionnaire. Another twelve key informants were also interviewed using an interview guide. Quantitative data obtained was analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Chi Square tests with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. The qualitative data, mainly from key informants was analyzed thematically using content analysis. The study established that the community was still highly patriarchal, and that there were sociocultural forces which appeared to influence decisions on women’s ascending to political power. 62.4% of the respondents believed that the roles of women in the community do not include leadership; another 62.3% also stated that domestic duties of women would not allow good representation Many respondents (52.5%) still believed that political leadership was a domain for men. Respondents with higher levels of education appeared more accommodating of women political leaders. The study recommends intensive education to be given to the community, particularly to the male members of the community to value women leadership. This education should be tailored to help improve the communities’ perspectives of gender roles in modern society.

Grounded theory, the way to analyse qualitative data: A comprehensive review of literature
Evans Magaisa, Tasvika Moyo, Engelbert Chamunorwa Wilson, George Shava – June 2022- Page No.: 665-668
I. INTRODUCTION
Grounded theory is a research approach in which data collection and analysis inform each other to construct theories of the phenomenon under study, and they take place simultaneously (Thornberg & Charmaz, 2014: 153). It is the systematic discovery of theory from data that is obtained during the social research process. Grounded theory is an aim towards conceptual thinking and theory building rather than empirical testing of a theory (Khan, 2014: 224).Grounded theory is a methodology for developing theory that is grounded in data, which is systematically gathered and analysed (Noble & Mitchell, 2016: 1). Since its inception in 1967, grounded theory has become a popular choice among researchers contemplating qualitative data approaches amongst a variety of subject backgrounds (Yu & Smith, 2021: 553). Corbin (2016: 51)notes that grounded theory is a method that rejects a dogmatic and rigid approach to doing research, but rather embraces taking the role of the other, giving voice to participants and the researcher shaping the research accordingly. Therefore, the researcher formulates new questions as the research evolves, chooses among a variety of data sources and even changes the direction of the research midway as the situation demands. Researchers therefore enter in to an investigation with an open mind ready to hear what the participants are saying. The questions that emerge from the analysis will guide the next steps in data collection and analysis.

A Theoretical Assessment of the Operational Budgets in Hyperinflation Countries, Lessons from Boarding Schools in Zimbabwe: Effects and Survival Strategies
Lucia Mandongwe, Stanley Murairwa, Phamela Dube – June 2022- Page No.: 669-677
The research reviewed theoretical and empirical studies on hyperinflation, its effects on boarding school budgets, and adaptation strategies that may be employed by the schools. A critical analysis from prior studies displayed that vehement hyperinflation is a challenge and betrays the purpose of operational budgets in boarding schools. The purpose of operational budgets to play an exceptional role in cost control, planning, organizing, and communication at both national and local levels is rendered useless with hyperinflation. An analysis of the legal framework for education as provided for by the Zimbabwe Education Act and the education policies was also performed so as to have a clear understating of how the financial aspects of boarding schools are executed. The results from the studies reveal that hyperinflation has a great negative impact on the operations of boarding schools. It leads to the destruction of schools’ lineament, reduced enrolment, increased arrears, more bad debts, budget deficit, litigation, rising operational cost, and decreased capital investments. The research further discovered that in order to adapt to hyperinflation, boarding schools must be creative and innovative, perform cost reduction and control, adapt to differentiation, online services, cost leadership strategy as well as continuous reviewing of the financial aspects. The research noted that the boarding schools were not spared from the effects of hyperinflation and their only alternative in such disruptive times was to embrace the suggested strategies so as to survive in a hyperinflation environment.

To What Extent is Corona Virus Disease (Covid-19) Understood by The People of Lwemiriiti Village, Kitanda Subcounty, Bukomansimbi District, Uganda and How Do They Perceive the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)?
Simon Peter Ongodia, Kayindu Vincent – June 2022- Page No.: 678-685
The current study was conducted in the month of January 2022 in Lwemiriiti village (L.C 1) which is found in Kitanda sub county, Bukomansimbi district in the Central region of Uganda. Being a rural area where cases of COVID-19 have not been reported, many children and some adults are just hearing the disease with some of them doubting its existence. The study was therefore carried out so as to provide solutions to the misconceptions about COVID-19 so that it does not turn out to be a disaster. This is because, if COVID-19 is not properly understood by people, it can spread like wild fire, hence leading to death of many people. Lwemiriiti village (L.C 1) where the study was carried out has only one trading centre with several retail shops, three bars which sell local brew (Waragi, Kkwete and Ttonto), beer, as well as soft drinks like soda. There is also a motorcycle (bodaboda) stage with about 10 motorcycles for transporting people. In carrying out this study, only oral interviews were used. Thus, 35 people were interviewed. The interviewees were19 residents, five shopkeepers, three sellers of Matooke (bananas), three sellers of alcohol in the bars and five bodaboda riders. Thelatter were involved in the study because they interact with many people on daily basis. The findings were that although all people know that COVID-19 exists, they don’t understand it properly. Thus, the standard operating procedures put in place by the government are generally perceived to be inconveniencing and because of this, they are hardly implemented.

New Gambian Public Service and Human Capital Formation
Ayo Adesopo, Ph.D, Banna Sawaneh, Ph.D, David Olubunmi Apeloko, Ph.D – June 2022- Page No.: 691-701
The paper emphasized the importance of human capital and its formation to the new Gambian public service institutions. It specifically looked at the salient features of the Gambian public service pre-Barrow regime, and followed by the initial interventionist steps towards a new public service that would be efficient and responsive to the citizenry in terms of service delivery; and the critical position being occupied by human capital in driving the reforms of the public service institutions. It also researched into the efforts made towards capacity development to address capacity/skill gaps and the place of the tertiary and higher education systems in this respect. After highlighting the limitations of the key higher educational institutions, categorical imperatives were made towards enhancing the capacity building efforts of the public service institutions. These include the need to give the conduct of comprehensive capacity needs assessment (CNA) in public institutions the seriousness it requires; support the efforts with adequate budgetary allocation; adequately fund the training and educational institution and processes; establish institutional relationship between the capacity building institutions and the agency responsible for the implementation of public service reform programmes; and develop a national training framework that will ensure a more systematic and sustainable approach that allows some peculiar departments to develop their own capacity and manage this basic framework

Une Analyse Contrastive De La Négation En Français Et En Yoruba : Un Aperçu Par
Babalola, J. O. Phd – June 2022- Page No.: 716-719
The domain of negation is wide and difficult to identify. Being an important topic in a language, negation is marked in all languages. In almost all the languages, there is one or more formal possibilities to indicate that something is false, that it is not, that it is contrary or that one rejects it. Specifically in French, aside from the negative markers ne…pas there are other signs used either to translate the negation in certain conditions or to translate certain aspect or condition of negation usage. This research is a review of a contrastive analysis of negation in French and Yoruba. The objective is to present some studies on the syntactic features used for negation in French and Yoruba in order to justify the existence of that linguistic attributes in two languages. Thus, the work aims at doing some review on negation, the contrastive linguistic before examining some works done on the contrastive analysis in negation. It finally concludes that, to situate the work on the contrastive analysis on negation, there is a great need to study the work below.

Preserving the Bicol Heritage: A Cultural Mapping Project of Partido Municipalities in Camarines Sur
Maria Aurora Gratela-Caballero, Ed.D. – June 2022- Page No.: 720-732
I. THE PROBLEM DOMAIN
A. Statement of the Problem
For third-world countries such as the Philippines, development is usually prioritized over the conservation of heritage. The development plan for the Bicol region involves improving infrastructure for transportation, energy, and communications as well as land use management – a massive effort that will uplift the quality of life of millions. However, could there be a way where both can be achieved? The project aims to provide a solution to this problem by focusing on the cultural mapping of the Partido municipalities.
B. Background and Objectives of the Project
Virgilio Almario, the National Artist who supports cultural mapping as an approach to document thousands of cultural heritages in the regions, defines Cultural mapping as “an approach or the process used to identify, record, and use cultural resources and activities for building communities. Communities map what is important to them.”
An Overview on Cultural Mapping
Partido District is an abundant source of Cultural Heritage. However, its cultural identity is improperly preserved, and one of the objectives of this study is to record its disclosed Cultural Heritage. Dr. Raul G. Bradecina, the researcher President of Partido State University, lensed the importance of a research approach in the study of Partido’s cultural heritage. He recognized Cultural Mapping approach as a socio-cultural scientific tool in research to record resources in the municipalities and marginalized areas. Mapping the available resources in culture and heritage is understanding the people’s lives, which is the basis to support the development of the community’s socio-economic and socio-political conditions.

Insights about Reading Competences of Students in Public Schools in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia
Ruslin, Zulfikri, Firdiansyah Alhabsyi, Hijrah Syam – June 2022- Page No.: 733-740
This article was aimed to investigate the insights about reading competences of students in public schools in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. In particular, it was aimed to explain what and how reading competences of students looked like especially when they were related to their learning achievements at school. The article employed a library-based research design as there was little chance to do a case study to gain in-depth analysis related to the issues being investigated due to time constraint. As this was a library- based research, the main data collection technique was based on evidences derived from extensive literatures related to reading competences of high school students in this province. The analysis was mainly based on the content analytical point of views. The findings suggest that a number of factors strongly affected high school students’ reading competences. Despite the case, it was identified that learning and reading cultures of Indonesian students predominantly influenced the ways they approached and made use of reading materials at their hands which eventually led to their reading achievements. The results of the research suggest that as students now live in the era of advanced communication and information technologies, provisions of these technological-based learning devices are inevitable in high schools. Moreover, the local education authorities urgently need to provide adequate reading text books and other interesting reading materials to students. In addition, it is to inform teachers and other educational stakeholders to create learning atmospheres in which students were interested in reading activities from which they could develop their reading cultures for the future

Using Synthetic Phonics to Improve the Sound Discrimination and Reading Comprehension Skills of Basic Eight Students at Oyoko Methodist Junior High School
Albert Bekoe Mensah, Derrick Nii Quarcoopome Sackey, Paul William Obeng – June 2022- Page No.: 741-746
This study was conducted to examine the effect of using synthetic phonics on Basic Eight students’ ability to discriminate between the sounds of the letters of the English alphabet and answer reading comprehension questions correctly. The purposive sampling technique was used to sample the forty-four students from the Basic Eight class at Oyoko Methodist Junior High School for the study. The researchers used a combination of observation and teacher-made-test as instruments for the data collection exercise. Data gathered were analysed using frequencies, percentages, means, and range. The study concluded that the use of synthetic phonics is an effective intervention to aid the Basic Eight students of Oyoko Methodist Junior High School to discriminate between the sounds of the letters of the English alphabets and answer reading comprehension questions correctly. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that the head teacher of Oyoko Methodist Junior High School should organize school-based in-service training for the teachers on the use of the synthetic phonics approach to enable the teachers of English language to become conversant with the skills of using the approach to teach effectively.

Influence of age on Listening Competencies in English of Teacher Trainees in Teacher Training Colleges in Kenya
Dr. Lydia W. Wangungu – June 2022- Page No.: 747-752
English language in Kenya is important as it is the medium of instruction, among other things, from class four to higher institutions of learning (Revised Teacher Education Syllabus, 2006) Listening on the other hand is a key factor in facilitating language learning because it is the foundation of the other language skills. It is also the skill that facilitates the interaction of the instructor and the learner in any learning situation. Lack of listening competence in English therefore means poor language skills and poor performance in all the subjects taught in English. This paper presents the findings of a comparative study conducted in Teacher Training Colleges (TTC) in Kenya. The study sought to establish the influence of age on the levels of listening competencies in English of primary school teacher trainees in Teacher Training Colleges in Kenya. A sample of 30 male and 30 female trainees was used. Data were collected using three subtests namely dictation, cloze test and listening comprehension. Research findings showed that the younger trainees performed better than the older trainees in most of the tasks. However, generally the trainees lacked the desired competence levels in listening in English.

Family Influence on the Choice of Careers in Home Science Education Programme
Abigael Chelagat, Simon Wanami and Catherine Sempele – June 2022- Page No.: 753-758
Many at times students experience challenges when making decisions on the choice of programmes to study especially at the institutions of higher learning. The family may play a role in shaping the career aspirations of its members. This study sought to establish the level of family influence on choice of Home Science Education programme in Kenyan Universities. The study was guided by the Social Cognitive Career Theory that explores how career choices are made by self-efficacy, outcome expectations and personal goals. This study adopted the Convergent Parallel mixed method design employing both quantitative and qualitative approach. The study was conducted in Uasin Gishu and Kiambu counties which have universities with programmes that train Home Science educators. Purposive sampling technique was used to select two universities offering the Home Science Education programmes where 2 Heads of Department/Chairs of Department were purposively selected while the 254 students were conveniently selected. Data for the study was obtained by using questionnaires, interview schedules and focus group discussion guides. Quantitative data was analyzed and then presented using distribution tables and graphs. Qualitative data was analyzed thematically and then used to compare with that of quantitative data. The findings of this study revealed that the family influence was considered to have a minor consideration in the choice of careers in Home Science Education programme. Majority of the respondents made their career choices in Home Science Education programme with minimal family influence. The study recommends the need to sensitize the family on their role of guiding their children in making career choices based on their own interests and disregard the family’s expectations on the society’s most preferred profession.

Kunda Verbal Extensions
Mercy Zemba – June 2022- Page No.: 759-763
The study focuses on the verbal extensions of Kunda, It investigates the expressions and ordering of Kunda extensions. It looks at the main extensions which are the single extensions and the combined extensions. It employs mirror principle theory (MP) proposed by Alsina (1999) and Baker (1985) and morphological template known as CARP template (TM) proposed by Hyman (2003) to account for the order of verbal extensions. The study employs qualitative research design and descriptive in nature. The data used for this analysis is from the Kunda native speakers. A purposive sample of four (4) informants was done. The informants were interviewed and a list of 200 verb roots was used in the study for informants to identify the productive roots to which the verbal extensions were attached. The study analyses how verbal extensions are presented or expressed in Kunda as the morphological process. The results show that Kunda verbal extensions interact with each other although with some restrictions. It is the meaning of a sentence that determines the order (and co-occurrence) of verbal extension morphemes. Kunda combines the Mirror principle and CARP template to determine the order of verbal extensionsand that some orders are fixed although, they violate the CARP template ordering.

The Pejuang Dance by S. Ngaliman Condropangrawit as a Representation of the Traditional War Strategy and State Defense of the Indonesian People
Raundoh Tul Jannah, Endro Legowo, Achmed Sukendro, Pujo Widodo – June 2022- Page No.: 764-767
The wars that have occurred in Indonesia since the arrival of the Portuguese in 1912 in Malacca have carved out a long history of seizing the independence which was declared on August 17, 1945, from the hands of the colonialists. This cannot be separated from the struggle of the fighters throughout the country, including women. The struggle is then retold through the art of folk dance, which is usually performed when people gather. The Pejuang Dance or Fighters Dance is one of Supadi Ngalimat Condropangrawit’s masterpieces that depicts the resistance of the Indonesian people, where not only men but women also play a direct role. The research method used is a qualitative method with literature studies and direct interviews with a dance educator from the State University of Semarang, Indonesia. As a result, dynamic and rhythmic dance movements liven up the atmosphere that took place during the struggle, there were training movements to play weapons, practice archery or known as gandhewa and form defensive fortifications. The movements in the Pejuang dance are a picture of traditional war strategies like a guerrilla and the high spirit of defending the country against the sovereignty of the Indonesian nation.

Awareness and Knowledge of The Adverse Effects of Ear-Piece Use Among University Undergraduates in Anambra State
Adaobi Olivia Okeke (PhD), Gloria Nwakaego Chukwuemeka (PhD), Elozona Chinwe Okpala, Lilian Chinazom Ajagu – June 2022- Page No.: 768-774
Health implications of earpiece use among undergraduate students has a dearth of studies as current literature based in the Nigerian context revealed. Nigerian students have been observed to have a habit of listening to loud music and making phone calls through their earpiece on a regular basis which could cause an implication to their health. It is against this backdrop that this study examined the Awareness and Knowledge of the harmful effects of earpiece use among university undergraduates in Anambra State. The study adopted the survey design while a structured questionnaire was the data collection instrument from a sample size of 370 based on the Krejcie and Morgan method of sample size selection. The study was anchored on the Reasoned Action Theory. The study found out that university undergraduate students in Anambra state are very much aware of the health implications of using earpiece and know that using earpiece can be harmful. They feel there is less sensitization on the health implications of earpiece usage by relevant health authorities. The study therefore concludes that earpiece usage comes with serious health implications which could lead to a serious health challenge on the user, yet in an era of paucity of health campaigns and sensitizations on this subject, the young adult generation takes pride and earns gratification from using earpiece for listening to music and making calls albeit in a high decibel manner. The study therefore recommended that government through its health agencies map out a serious sensitization and campaign strategy towards creating awareness for the youths on the health implications of frequent earpiece usage.

External Sector and The Performance of Manufacturing Sector in Nigeria
Alwell Nteegah and Oladosu Isaac Olubiyi – June 2022- Page No.: 775-784
The reliance of the Nigerian economy especially, the manufacturing sector on inputs and raw materials from the external economies makes it imperative to study how the external sector has affected the performance of the sector. In order to achieve this purpose, data on trade openness, foreign direct investment, foreign debt and exchange rate of the naira to the US dollar were sourced from the World Bank data base and regressed on share of the manufacturing sector to GDP using Parsimonious Vector Error Correction model (VECM) method. The result of Johansen Cointegration Test showed that there exists a long run relationship or cointegration between external sector and the performance of manufacturing sector in Nigeria. The result of Parsimonious Vector Error Correction Model showed that trade openness and external debt have positive effects on the performance of manufacturing sector in Nigeria while foreign direct investment and exchange rate have negative effects on the performance of manufacturing sector in Nigeria over the period of investigated (1985 – 2020). The result further revealed very high speed of adjustment among the variables in the manufacturing sector in the changes in the long run dynamics. The model diagnostic test indicated that the variables conformed to basic assumptions of the ordinary least squares estimation. Based on the findings, the study concluded that the external sector has significant effect on performance of the manufacturing sector in Nigeria. Consequent upon these findings, the paper recommends; a review of trade policy to favour domestic production, wooing of foreign investment and proper utilisation of foreign borrowing as possible ways of improving the performance of the manufacturing sector and the Nigerian economy at large.

Orientalism in Semiotics of “Whiteness” in the Indonesian Context: An Analysis of Pond’s Advertisement
Somadi Sosrohadi, Irinne Sri Pratiwi – June 2022- Page No.: 785-790
This study aims to examine the Pond’s advertisement which in every scene always tries to show the beauty, luxury, feminine and elegant side of whiteness. This study discusses the Pond’s version of the advertisement “Wajahmu Mengalihkan Duniaku”. The concept of whiteness in the Pond’s advertisement version of “Wajahmu Mengalihkan Duniaku” is a standard of female beauty that is depicted in many beauty product advertisements in Indonesia. This study used a qualitative method and a semiotic approach. The researchers find out what the influence of orientalism on the concept of whiteness advertising.

Funding Mechanisms on Quality of Healthcare Projects in Kenya: A Case of Ward-Level Prioritized Healthcare Projects in Keiyo South Sub-County, Elgeyo Marakwet County
Kemboi, Duncan Kiprono, Dr. Mwenda Mary Nyawira – June 2022- Page No.: 791-797
Good health is a primary concern for all nations globally and therefore countries worldwide strive towards coming up with well-thought-out healthcare systems which guarantees citizens healthy lives as well as advocate for and promote wellbeing for everyone. Constitution of Kenya, 2010, indicated right to health as one of the basic human rights that should never be compromised at all cost. The research therefore sought to evaluate the influence of funding mechanisms on quality of healthcare projects in Kenya: A case of ward-level prioritized healthcare projects in Keiyo South Sub-County. The research adopted Equity of Access to Healthcare Theory. The research made use of descriptive research and correlation research designs with a target population of 500 persons and a sample size of 208 persons determined using Silverman’s formula. Interview guides and questionnaires were used in data collection. The results were analyzed and presented in form of mean, percentages, frequencies and standard deviation whereas inferential statistics made use of Pearson Correlation to display the strength and direction of the relationship among the predictor and response variable. ANOVA was used to establish the goodness of fit of the linear regression model. A conclusion was made that funding mechanisms at county level have a big influence on quality of healthcare projects. The research recommended use of expert-guided public participation meetings during project’s prioritization. The research furthers recommended that the National Treasury & Planning should always give top priority to the county governments when it comes to the release of funds to them so as to ensure that there is smooth operations at the counties.

Determining Factors That Improve Youths’ Economic Empowerment in Katsina State, Nigeria
Bashir Kurfi Babangida, Barjoyai Bardai – June 2022- Page No.: 798-808
Suffice it to say, that the government poverty alleviation and empowerment programmes are unsustainable, and formal financial institutions such as commercial banks are incapable of combating and reducing poverty, particularly among the Youths, as evidenced by the failure of several programmes and schemes to produce the expected results, despite government efforts to improve the standard of living of its citizens. Notwithstanding, Katsina state remains among the states with higher poverty rate, with the highest underemployment/unemployment rate. Which stemmed the incidences of violent crimes in the area. This serves as the motivation of the study to identify other factors that may be effective in empowering the Youths economically. To achieve the goals, the study employs a quantitative approach through structured questionnaire. The study samples were selected using a multistage sampling technique from microfinance services Youths’ beneficiaries in Katsina state, Nigeria. The result revealed that the variables that represented the main determinant of economic empowerment in the study; microcredit, micro-savings, financial training, and advisory services interacted positively which implies positive linear relationship with economic empowerment. The study suggests that MFBs should make microcredit more attainable to their youth clients to effectively fulfil their mission of empowering youth economically. Microfinance banks should be recognised as poor people’s banks, with one-digit loan rates. The Nigerian Central Bank should provide MFIs with adequate policy guidance in order to deliver Youths-friendly financial services. The outcomes of this research would be relevant to policy issues specifically the regulators such as the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Forensic Science Enabled Crime Fighting Mechanism in Nigeria
Ajibola O. OLANIYI – June 2022- Page No.: 809-815
Forensic science is one of the best ways to fight and resolve almost all manners of crime. The need to know the preparedness of the institutions saddled with the responsibilities of combating crime in our societies becomes extremely important to the enthronement of forensics in Nigeria. Without forensic science in criminal trials justice will continue to elude us as nation. The study relies on the Locard Exchange Theory. The article examines the Oyo State Police Command and three other sister agencies’ (NSCDC, EFCC and NDLEA) preparedness in using four major forensic methods in combating crime in the state in line with their constitutional mandates. Four key informants were interviewed and three focus group discussions were conducted. Data were analyzed using content analysis. Results indicated that the facilities on ground are grossly inadequate and there are not enough qualified personnel to carry out forensic investigation services. The study concluded that 21st century crime combating using methods of forensic science is still very poor in Oyo State, and Nigeria as a whole. It therefore suggests government, private organizations, researchers and scholars should synergize with law enforcement agencies to make forensic science an effective technique in detecting and combating crime in Nigeria.

Exploring The Effectiveness of Talent Development Programmes at The Namibia Institute of Pathology (NIP)
Michael Ochurub PhD, Andrew Jeremiah PhD, Susanna Simasiku – June 2022- Page No.: 816-827
Through effective talent development programmes, employees can expand their horizon of skills and knowledge required at work, and by doing so enhance their performance and productivity within an organisation. Therefore, this study explore the effectiveness of talent development programmes and practices at Namibia Institute of Pathology (NIP) as an overarching goal. This study adopted a qualitative, interview-based design for the research and the primary data was gathered from NIP management and non-management employees using a simple convenience sampling technique and semi-structured interview questions. The sample size was 20, which represented 100% of the total population. The major finding of this study revealed that the talent development programmes are not effectively implemented at NIP due to many challenges such lack of adequate funding, lack of management support and poor design of the programmes amongst others. This study adds to the body of knowledge by addressing the challenges and factors that organizations should consider when implementing talent development programmes. The study, thus, recommends that NIP management should invest their time and energy on the design and implementation of talent development programmes and practices. It is through effective human capital development programmes that the employees would be acquainted with the organisational trajectory and be able to determine the interplay between the vision, strategies and approaches to changing attitudes and behaviour.

Indigenous Education Against Gender Equality in Cameroon
Ngwabienwu John Tumbuh (PhD) – June 2022- Page No.: 828-832
Indigenous education is not a feature, common only in Cameroon, but in other African countries and across the world. Indigenous knowledge is passed on from one generation to the other both in formal and informal setting. In communities in Cameroon, gender inequality is the order of the day. The characteristics of indigenous education, varied from one community to the other. Traditional societies and their traditional practices are eminent in determining and respecting the rights of all. Some of these practices discriminate against women and girls, one sex superior and another inferior within the same community. The question here is, why can gender equality not be achieved in the trans-generational transmission of knowledge? In this article, some reasons why it is difficult to achieve gender equality are advanced, recommendations are also made on recognizing women, men, girls and boys as agent of development and narrowing the gender gaps existing.

The State and Separatist Agitations in Nigeria: An Analysis of The Dynamics of The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)
Mezie-Okoye, Charles Chukwurah, Ph.D. – June 2022- Page No.: 833-840
Consequently, this study examined the connection between the separatist actions of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and their effects on the continuing existence of the Nigerian state. It also studied how the IPOB’s use of provocative language exacerbated ethnic tensions and how the amount of government persecution hindered the IPOB’s separatist objectives in Nigeria. Documentary methodology was employed in the study, and secondary sources and content analysis were allegedly used to collect data. The frustration-aggression theory offered an adequate theoretical foundation for this study’s analysis. This study indicates that the IPOB’s use of provocative language exacerbated ethnic tensions, namely between the Igbo and Hausa tribes. In addition, it was seen that state persecution had minimal impact on their separatist movement and goals. According to the findings of the study, the periodic separatist agitations in Nigeria are the result of the Nigerian government’s insensitivity and failure to provide inclusive and effective leadership. In order to reduce the central government’s excessive concentration of power and responsibilities, the research suggests, among other things, the devolution of authority from the federal government to the component states. In addition, the Nigerian government should initiate a reorientation campaign that promotes a culture of patriotism, responsible leadership, and transparency in government among the public. Based on these findings, the report recommends, among other things, that the Nigerian government eschew the use of force in favour of conversation and other diplomatic strategies.

Gender and Development: Push and Pull Migration, Transnational Experience and Well-being of Filipina Overseas Migrant Returnees
Peachy G. Domingo – June 2022- Page No.: 841-853
The global movement of people which coincided with the globalization of the market economy resulted into the feminization of overseas migrate, on given the higher demands for female migrant workers from the low-income developing countries such as the Philippines. This has changed the landscape of overseas migration in the country since the 1970s where the bulk of overseas migrant workers were males as triggered by the oil boom in the Middle East (Ducanes, 2015). This paper examines the social dimension of transnational migration as experienced by Filipina overseas migrant returnees by understanding the motivations for temporary overseas migration, the factors associated with return migration, their narratives of transnational migration and their self-assessment of the impact of migration on their well-being.
Qualitative interviews were conducted among seven (7) Filipina migrant returnees from Nueva Ecija. Results revealed the interplay of gender, migration and family in relation to push and pull migration. Likewise, the transnational experiences of these migrant returnees demonstrate the resiliency and agency of women in the context of development and transnational migration.

Discourse Analysis of Semiotic Resources in Newspaper Political Campaign Advertisements of Select Candidates for the 2019 Elections in Nigeria
JONES G. I. AYUWO, PhD – June 2022- Page No.: 860-866
This study focused on newspaper political campaign advertisements of select candidates for the 2019 general elections in Nigeria with the aim of analysing the semiotic resources in the newspaper political campaign advertisements of the select candidates. The specific objectives were to: determine how personality profiling served as semiotic resource in the 2019 elections campaign advertisements of the APC candidate of Lagos State, Nigeria as well as examine the use of color as a semiotic resource in the 2019 elections campaign advertisements of the APC gubernatorial candidates of Lagos and Abia States, Nigeria among others. The Social Semiotic Theory was adopted as the theoretical framework for the study. Data for this study were drawn from newspaper advertisements in three national dailies: The Punch, Daily Sun and The Vanguard newspapers. The newspapers were published between December 2018 and February 2019. Three (3) advertisements were purposively selected for this study owing to the several semiotic resources in them. The data were analyzed using the Discourse Analysis approach. The analysis revealed personality profiling of the APC gubernatorial candidate of Lagos State based on his educational qualification, experience and popularity. It also showed that color, image placement, attire and handshakes were also semiotic resources found in the newspaper political campaign advertisements of the select candidates in the 2019 general elections in Nigeria. Green and red were identified to be instrumental in communicating growth, light and love. Based on the findings, it was recommended that further study be carried out to uncover the communicative elements in political campaign advertisements in Nigeria newspapers

University Collages Sri Lanka: Are We in the Right Direction?
D.D.D Suraweera – June 2022- Page No.: 873-876
The National Vocational Qualification Framework of Sri Lanka (NVQSL) makes it easier for people to pursue higher education, including degrees, based on their vocational credentials. In order to boost the country’s supply of midlevel labor as well as increase access to qualification upgrading for NVQ holders, six University colleges (UCs) were founded. UCs offer diploma credentials and welcome students who hold both National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) holders and General Certificate of Education Advanced Level (G.C.E. A/L.) students. These two disparate groups are taking the same class at the same time to learn. To lessen gaps in entry-level competencies, foundation programs were established. Rates of the programs run by UCs have reportedly been quite low. As a result, this study was carried out to determine how the administrative team perceived the resources’ accessibility and the goals of UC students. More than 95% of students who enroll in UCs with G.C.E. A/L. do so with the intention of earning a bachelor’s degree from a university of vocational technology. After receiving their diploma, they do not want to take on middle-level jobs in the sector. Additionally, just 5% of people have followed the process for upgrading their NVQ qualifications. This is counter to the reasons why UCs were founded. The majority of students enroll in UCs following GCE A/ to earn a degree, which requires them to spend roughly 3 years at the UCs and another two to three years at UoVT. As a result, the strategy has gone wrong. Students feel demotivated when they realize their goal is too far away, which can result in indiscipline and subpar academic performance. In order to get the most out of UCs, this issue needs to be studied in greater detail.

Dr. Dorcas Oluremi FAREO, Dr. Boludola Gbemisola OWOLABI – June 2022- Page No.: 877-881
The study assessed teachers’ perception of the use of corporal punishment in junior secondary schools in Mubi Education Zone, Adamawa State, Nigeria. Three research questions and two research hypotheses were formulated to guide the study; The study employed a survey research design. The sample size consisted of 200 Junior Secondary School teachers selected by stratified sampling technique using gender and years of experience as strata. The questionnaire titled: “Teachers’ Perception of the Use of Corporal Punishments in Junior Secondary Schools (TPUCPJSS)” was used to collect data. The face, content and construct validity of the instrument was established by an expert in Guidance and Counselling from Educational Foundations Department, Adamawa State University, Mubi. The test – retest reliability was carried out on 30 teachers from two Junior Secondary Schools within an interval of three weeks; while a reliability coefficient of 0.86 was obtained. Data were analyzed using mean, standard Deviation, ANOVA, Pearson moment correlation and t-test. The study revealed that corporal punishment was still used by teachers as a form of discipline to junior secondary school students in Mubi Educational Zone. The dangers associated with corporal punishment in Junior Secondary Schools in Mubi Educational Zone as perceived by teachers included mental retardation, memory loss, absenteeism in class, emotional trauma such as low self-esteem, depression and suicidal acts, physical scars, maiming and violence. The study concluded that corporal punishment has multidimensional and obnoxious impacts over the academic performance and socio-psychological well-being of the students. It was recommended that in-service training and seminars should be organized by psychologists and guidance counsellors to improve teachers’ knowledge and skills about classroom management, effective discipline methods and children’s rights

Kayla Mae N. Rebuta, Ian Marie P. Cabaron, Rodelyn Joy C. Pucong, Jillian Mae C. Bisquera, Remuel T. Llerado, Mark Van M. Buladaco – June 2022- Page No.: 882-887
Computer programming can be a valuable tool for students to improve their thinking and problem-solving abilities. This study aims to analyze the relationship between programming skills and the perceived value of learning programming among Information Technology Students in Davao Del Sur. This study utilized two adapted questionnaires during the data collection using google form software; the survey was distributed in different schools around Davao Del Sur with 100 respondents. The researchers of this study showcase quantitative research utilizing a correlational research method to analyze the relationship between the two variables. A statistician interpreted and analyzed the collected data using four statistical tools: weighted mean, variance analysis, relative frequency, and Pearson’s r. The interpreted data were explained and presented well by the researchers properly and more clearly.
Furthermore, it shows the positive correlations between Programming Skills and Perceived Value of Learning Programming. In connection with that, there is a significant relationship between Programming Skills and Perceived Value of Learning Programming among Information Technology Education students. This positive correlation implies that when the Programming Skills increases, it can be assumed that Perceived Value of Learning Programming also increases.

Determinants of Breast Cancer Screening among Rural Women, Homa Bay County, and Western Kenya
Felix Blair Odhiambo, John Paul Oyore, BOM Agina – June 2022- Page No.: 888-894
Breast cancer is a serious disease and it is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in Kenya and the World as a whole. It can be controlled by early detection, and prompt treatment or management. This paper aimed to demonstrate the screening levels of breast cancer among women in Homa-Bay County and determine factors associated with breast cancer screening. This was a cross-sectional study, which was done in April 2019 in two purposively selected sub-counties in Homa Bay County, Western Kenya. A region, which had previously registered lower screening levels of cancer in national surveys. Data analysis was majorly descriptive showing proportions. A Chi-square test was used to check for the association of categorical variables with breast cancer screening. Results indicated that the majority of the respondents had not gone (87.35%) for screening compared to those who had gone for screening (12.65%). Factors that were found to be significantly associated with breast cancer included if the woman was smoking (Chi-Square p-value = 0.02, history of a family member diagnosed with breast cancer (Chi-Square p-value = 0.004), and having undergone X-ray at one point in life (Chi-Square p-value = 0.021). The study concluded that breast cancer screening is still very low in Homa- Bay County and factors such as smoking and having a family member who had been diagnosed with breast cancer are associated with breast cancer screening. We recommend an increased health promotion and education activities based on breast cancer screening so that the women can go for the available cost-effective screening methods such as Clinical Breast Examination in Homa Bay County. This can be done through increased campaigns for breast cancer screening and home visits to encourage breast cancer screening or self-breast examination.

Comparative Study on Job Satisfaction Between Teachers in Government and Non-Governmental Junior Secondary Schools in Monze Urban District, Southern Province, Zambia
Alvin Chiwoya and Harrison Daka – June 2022- Page No.: 895-901
The study compared job satisfaction of teachers in government and non-governmental junior secondary schools in Monze Urban District of Southern Province, Zambia. A descriptive research design was used for the study. The sample comprised of 90 teachers that were randomly selected using simple random sampling technique from the nine junior secondary schools. Ten (10) teachers were selected per school and this brought the total study sample to ninety (n=90). Data collected was analysed using SPSS version 23. From the research findings, it was evident that teachers were satisfied with the work itself, working relationship, supervision and the working environment but were not satisfied with the incentive pay and the working conditions. The study also showed a significant difference in job satisfaction between teachers in government and private schools with respect to work itself and supervision, and between teachers in government and mission schools with respect to working relationship. It was therefore recommended that the Ministry of General Education, District Education Boards, school proprietors and managers ensure that fringe benefits such as housing allowance, transport allowance, beneficiary tuition allowance and working conditions are improved in order to enhance job satisfaction of teachers

Russia-Ukraine War and beyond [WWIII]: Fixing the Missing – Engaging NATO for Negotiated Political Settlement
Tesfabrhan Michael Sereke – June 2022- Page No.: 909-923
President Vladimir Putin officially declared Russia’s long-feared invasion of Ukraine under ‘special military operation to de-militarise and de-Nazify Ukraine’ on 24 February 2022. The war has been unleashing a staggering magnitude of the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, with potentially lasting economic and security challenge that goes beyond the belligerent countries. Seven rounds of peace talks failed, yet no hope of peace in sight, chiefly for it fails to capture the broader picture and nature of the proxies that should have engaged. The conflict’s domino effect has been pulling in numerous actors in one way or another. Hence, it could be the tipping point of our shambling global security as NATO and Russia tension soars gravely, echoing WWIII. This paper attempts to unearth and analyse the fundamental underpinning proxy nature of the war from the dissolution of the Warsaw pact, in effect, German unification, entangled to what Russia claims has traded-off to no-NATO expansion towards its flank and hence ‘broken promise’. The paper further analyses how the diplomatic and economic sanction against Russia has been crippled to alter the equation in pressuring Russia for roundtable negotiation. Delving into the arguments of the NATO-Russia standoff since post-WWII through the current development, this paper spots a potential middle ground and suggests the proxies’ – NATO-Russia engagement as the only way out for lasting negotiated pacified Settlement. The paper employs the Security dilemma perspective.
