The Impact of Parental Involvement on the Self-esteem of Adolescents with Hearing Impairment in Cameroon
Blasius Agha-ah Chiatoh & Mfontem Bertha Ebangha – August 2022- Page No.: 01-06
The study sought to investigate the impact of parental involvement (PI) on the self-esteem of adolescents with hearing impairment (HI) in Cameroon by examining how parenting, as a form of PI affects the self-esteem of adolescents with HI. The research design used was the explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. Quantitative data based on the dependent and independent variables were collected from the adolescents with HI using a questionnaire. The first part of the questionnaire testing PI was prepared using the Likert scale, while the second part was done by adapting the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale to measure self-esteem in adolescents with HI. The population constituted two groups of respondents; parents of adolescents with HI and adolescents with HI found in 4 selected regions of Cameroon. The purposive sampling and Snow-ball sampling techniques were used to select the sample size. Theoretical underpinnings to inform and support the issues relating to the named variables were offered by the Theories of Attachment by John Bowlby (1907 – 1990) and Mediated Mutual Reciprocity by Tchombe (2017). The data collected from the questionnaire were analyzed quantitatively using The Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis. Qualitative data from in-depth interviews were analyzed descriptively. The findings from the analyses revealed that, as PI in parenting increases, the development of self-esteem of adolescents with HI also increases. From the findings, we conclude that parenting significantly affects the self-esteem enhancement of adolescents with HI in Cameroon. We recommend among other things, that education stakeholders and policy makers should inform policy on the discoveries relating to the parenting challenges faced by adolescents with HI.

A Path Analysis of the Relationships among Parenting Styles, Emotional Intelligence and Resilience
Mary Rachelle Reyes-Wapano – August 2022- Page No.: 07-13
This study examined the relationships between perceived parenting styles, emotional intelligence, and resilience in adolescents. The hypothesized predictive correlations among variables were investigated using path analysis, a multiple regression technique. Direct and indirect effects of perceived parenting styles, emotional intelligence, and resilience were found in causal evaluations. This study has shown that parenting is important for the development of emotional intelligence, and that emotional intelligence predicts adolescent resilience. The data also supported the idea that emotionally intelligent people are more likely to adapt to new situations and demonstrating emotional intelligence’s adaptive value

Literature Review on the Relationship between Identity Formation and Meaning in Life Among Emerging Adults
Mary Rachelle R Wapano, PhD, Loressa De Claro Paguta, MA – August 2022- Page No.: 14-22
The present research on the relationship between meaning in life and identity orientation is examined in this literature review. Existing literature defines meaning in life as a variety of things that makes one’s life meaningful, such as a sense of direction, order, purpose, coherence, or goal pursuit. Identity is a well-studied construct in psychological study that refers to a person’s understanding of themselves as a distinct and unique entity. Although developing one’s identity is seen as one path to finding meaning in life, the relationship between identity orientation and meaning in life is not well studied in the current literature. Several research in this review demonstrates the relationship between identity orientation and life meaning. This review of the literature demonstrates that such a relationship is possible because identity orientation can help a person make sense of the world (comprehension), clarify one’s future goals (purpose), and see the value and significance of one’s life (mattering), all of which are dimensions of the meaning in life construct. The researches referenced also examined various meaning in life outcomes, especially for emerging adults. Implications of the findings from reviewed studies and future directions are also discussed.

A Critical Look at the Rehabilitation and Empowerment of the Growing Number of at-Risk Youth (Zogos) in Liberia
Dr. Ambrues Monboe Nebo – August 2022- Page No.: 23-29
Bearing some elements of scientific research, this paper takes a critical examination at the rehabilitation and empowerment of the growing wave of disadvantaged youths turning into “Zogos” that poses potential security threats to the fragile peace of Liberia. As a form of qualitative approach, the paper adopts a literature review method with emphasis on content analysis to explore the phenomenon defined as one of the contemporary social problems in Liberia.
Through the lens of the social control theory viewed as the theoretical framework that guided the study, the paper attributes the growing wave of “Zogos” to the formal social control considered as a sub-set of the theory. Under this sub-set, the paper argues that the weak drugs law, and the lack of logistical and financial support to relevant law enforcement agencies exacerbated by the porosity of Liberia’s border points making it easier for narcotics and illicit drugs to be brought into the Liberia be the main contributing factors.
Against the main contributing factors that explain cause and effects concept, the paper also argued that though the rehabilitation and empowerment program is commendable but not the root cause (s) of the imminent security threat that it seeks to address. As such, it cannot be a viable option or remedy for neutralizing the very perceived threat looming over Liberia.
Conclusively, the paper argued that ignoring the main contributing factors will lead to more stress and strain on the program that has serious financial implications for sustainability.
The paper recommends that to neutralize the perceived imminent security threat looming over Liberia, the rehabilitation and empowerment of “Zogos”, increase budgetary support to empower relevant law enforcement agencies, and the amended drugs law before the Liberian Senate for concurrence must be done concomitantly.

Influence of Principals’ Leadership Styles on Senior Secondary School Students’ Academic Achievement in Gombi Educational Zone, Admawa State
Dr Dorcas Oluremi FAREO – August 2022- Page No.: 30-35
The study examined teachers’ perception on influence of principal’s leadership styles on senior secondary school students’ academic achievement in Gombi Educational Zone, Adamawa State. Three research questions and three research hypotheses were formulated to guide the study; it was a survey research design. The sample size consisted of 400 teachers from five schools within the study area. The questionnaire titled “Teachers’ perception on the influence of principals’ leadership styles on students’ academic achievement Questionnaire (TPIPLSSAA)” was used to collect data. The face, content and construct validity of the instrument was established by an expert in Guidance and Counselling in the Department of Educational Foundations, Adamawa State University Mubi. The test-retest reliability method was adopted and the reliability co-efficient of 0.84 was obtained. Data were analysed using mean, Standard Deviation, Pearson Moment Correlation and t-test. The study revealed that there was no significant relationship between years of experience and principal leadership styles. Also, no significant relationship was found between teachers’ age and principal leadership styles. However, a significant relationship was depicted between principal leadership styles and academic achievement. There was a significant relationship between principal leadership styles and the academic performance of students. The study therefore recommended among other things that non-Governmental organizations should help organize workshops enlightening and upscaling principals’ leadership skills at different levels. Also, government should provide a suitable environment for principals to grow their leadership skills by providing the necessary equipment and resources to effectively lead their teachers towards attaining organizational goals.

Road Infrastructure and Matatu Crew Character on Customer Satisfaction in VUCA Public Road Transport Sector in Kenya; A Case Study of Nairobi County
Prof. Peter Paul Kithae – August 2022- Page No.: 36-45
Rapid innovation is an important tool to maintain leadership in a volatile environment. VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) world examples have shown how challengers within an organization must be developed and encouraged to create disruptive services and products that can replace existing ones. In road transport sector, customer satisfaction has been recognized as the most powerful competitive weapon that many leading service organizations possess .While this is so many public transport companies have not addressed the factors that affect customer satisfaction in the VUCA public transport sector.The study objectives were to determine how road infrastructure and matatu crew character affect customer satisfaction in the ever changing public road transport sector in Kenya with reference to Nairobi County. The study employed a descriptive research design. A sample size of 148 respondents were selected out of the target population of 344 that included the County Transport Department Staff, the Traffic Officers and the Matatu Owners Association and Matatu Crew that operate at various city stations and dropping and picking points. Data was collected through a semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive analysis were used to analyze the collected data and were presented through charts, frequency tables and graphs. Conclusions and recommendations were drawn from the findings.The findings of the study showed that road infrastructure and matatu crew character all affected customer satisfaction in road transport sector in Kenya.The study recommended that there is need for improved road connectivity across the city especially in areas that are under serviced and connectivity is poor; and that it is necessary to enhance existing disciplinary procedures for offenders as this is appropriate in achieving high levels of customer satisfaction. Also, there is need to improve personal conduct of the sector players as some Matatu Crew behave in a manner that does not appeal to customers and that where the SACOOs do not have an existing code of conduct for matatu crew, there is need to develop one in order to provide guidelines on the matatu crew conduct. The study recommended further research on effect of training on matatu crew conduct in the Public Transport in Kenya

Desert Seasonal Affective Disorder Exist? Environmental factors associated with anxiety, depression, and their comorbid symptoms among women in Northern Kenya
Gladys K. Mwangi Ph.D – August 2022- Page No.: 46-50
This paper examines the symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), that exist in harsh and desert like conditions in Northern Kenya. These symptoms were identified and discussed during thematic, narrative group discussions that were conducted for a dissertation study with women living in Northern Kenya. The symptoms seemed to align well with those of SAD, which are characteristic of a recurrent major depressive disorder (MDD) with a seasonal pattern usually beginning in fall and continuing into winter months in countries in the Northern hemisphere that are further away from the equator. Previous research has shown that SAD causes depression in the spring or early summer, which the symptoms include sad mood and low energy. Those most at risk of this disorder are younger females, living far from the equator, and have family histories of depression, bipolar disorder, or SAD. During the narrative sessions, symptoms like SAD were noted during drought seasons. However, the criteria for diagnosis of those at risk of this disorder excludes the women or people living closer or at the equator.
Keywords: Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), women, Northern Kenya, comorbid anxiety, and depression.

Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Care of Elderly Among Health Workers in Tertiary Health Facilities in Uyo Metropolis
Helen Ime Udo, Nsikan-Abasi Monday Udofia, and Ini Nka Jona- August 2022- Page No.: 51-57
Elderly care emphasizes the social and personal requirements of senior citizens who need some assistance with daily activities and health care, but who desire to age with dignity. With increasing rate of elderly in the society, there have been insufficient healthcare services for the elderly. Most health workers have very poor knowledge of health conditions which are common with the elderly and this lack of adequate knowledge triggers negative attitude towards the care of the elderly likely to result in serious problems in our society in the near future. This study was conducted to examine the knowledge, attitude and practice of care of elderly among health workers in tertiary health facilities in Uyo Metropolis. Three specific objectives, three research questions and three null hypotheses guided the study. The study employed a cross-sectional descriptive research design. The population of study consisted of 394 health workers. The sample of 241 health workers comprising of 27 doctors, 190 nurses, 10dentists and 14 Physiotherapist was determined using Taro Yamane and selected for the study using stratified sampling technique. The instrument used for data collection was questionnaire titled “Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Care of Elderly Questionnaire (KAPCEQ)”. The instrument yielded the reliability coefficient of 0.84. The data were collected by the researcher and four trained research assistants. Frequency and percentage were used for the answering of the research questions while chi-square was used for testing of null hypotheses at .05 level of significance. Findings of the study indicated that health workers had adequate knowledge of care of elderly, exhibit good attitude toward care of elderly and sometimes practice care of the elderly in tertiary health facilities in Uyo Metropolis. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher recommended among others that Hospital Management Board should develop a system of periodical health workers evaluation to determine strategies of upgrading health workers knowledge and enhancing practice of care of the elderly. Furthermore, Professional bodies in the health sectors should develop a follow up courses and in-service training programmes to maintain efficient performance of individuals previously trained in the care of the elderly.

Wambua Pius Muasa (PhD) – August 2022- Page No.: 58-62
Globally, studies have shown negative attitude towards the same gender relationships among the university students. However, there is lack of similar studies among University students in Kenya and therefore, the objective this study was to establish the relationship between religious orthodoxy and attitude towards the same gender relationships among University students in Nairobi County, Kenya. The study employed a correlational research design. Through simple random sampling the study utilized a sample size of 294 participants. The data was collected using the Religious Orthodoxy Scale and Attitude towards Homosexuality Scale. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The study found out that religious Orthodoxy had insignificant predictive relationship with the general attitude towards homosexuality (β=-.246, p≤.05).

Emma T. Alcantara, MIE, Ricky U. Domanais Jr., Jahnna Mae Litana – August 2022- Page No.: 63-70
The purpose of this study was to know the implications of ODL to college readiness of Grade 12 senior high school students and the relationship between the encountered challenges and the college preparedness of the students. This study will also enable the department to guide and prepare the students for higher education. This study sought to answer the following research questions: (1) What are the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of the following: [a] Sex, [b] Device used during online distance learning and [c] Internet Provider. (2) What are the challenges encountered by Grade 12 Senior High School students in their Online Distance Learning in terms of: [a] Academic Performance, [b] Technology and Internet Connectivity, [c] Teacher-Related and [d] Personal-Related. (3) What is the level of College Readiness of Grade 12 Senior High School students? (4) Is there a significant relationship between the challenges encountered by Grade 12 Senior High School students in their Online Distance Learning to their College Readiness? (5) What strategic interventions can be done to improve the implementation of Online Distance Learning? The researchers chose the entire population of the Grade 12 Senior High School students of Divine Word College of Legazpi, the School Year 2020-2021 as the respondents of the study. The total respondents are three hundred twenty-three (323). The retrieval rate of the response is 78.63% for the survey in the challenges encountered by the students while the retrieval rate of the students took the aptitude test is 86.15%. This study made use of the correlational research design to measure two variables and assess the statistical relationship (i.e., the correlation) between them with little or no effort to control extraneous variables. In addition, the researchers used survey questionnaire to identify the challenges encountered by Grade 12 Senior High School students in their Online Distance Learning. The challenges are presented into four groups: Academic Performance, Internet and Connectivity, Teacher-related, and Personal-related challenges. Moreover, to measure the level of readiness of students in Higher Education, the researchers will use the data of the Aptitude Test administered by Asian Psychological Services and Assessment Inc (APSA). There was a total of two hundred fifty-four (254) grade 12 respondents, one hundred twenty-five (125) of them were male and one hundred twenty-nine (129) of them were female. Majority of the respondents (59.1%) use both Laptop/Desktop and Smartphone as their gadgets for online distance learning. In addition, the majority of the respondents (35.8%) uses DCTV as their internet service provider. The Top 5 challenges encountered by the students: (1) I am having a hard time studying online. (2) I have trouble concentrating when doing my activities at home. (3) My area is always affected by power service interruptions. (4) I experience mental fatigue after online classes. (5) I do house chores while I am attending my classes. Half of the respondents meet the standards based on the standardized test administered by APSA. Only 1.1% of the respondents had a descriptive rating of “excellent/highly proficient” while 4.3% of the respondents had a descriptive rating of “does not meet standard”. Furthermore, 44.6% of the respondents had a descriptive rating of “progressing towards standards”. The researchers used Pearson r Correlation to know if there is a relationship between the college readiness and the challenges encountered by the students during ODL. The Pearson r Correlation value is -0.02069 which indicates that it has a negative relationship. Although it has a negative relationship it is a negligible correlation based on literature.

The Relationship of Age, Income, and Mental Workload of Nurses with Work Stress in General Hospital
Riski Dian Ardianti, Hajjul Kamil, Marthoenis – August 2022- Page No.: 71-73
Workplace stress is a harmful reaction that people have when they are under a lot of pressure and have a lot work to do. Night shifts, multiple role conflicts, a lack of social support, conflict between work and family, diverse task demands that are not in accordance with compensation, excessive workload, unpleasant working conditions, job uncertainty, the absence of awards, excessive promotions or under-promotions, and an imbalance in the number of nurses to the number of patients are all factors that can cause work stress for nurses. The goal of this study was to see if there was a link between nurse qualities and mental workload and work stress. This is a descriptive analytic study that uses a cross-sectional strategy. A convenience sample of 126 nurses was used to create the research sample. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) Questionnaire and the Work Stress Questionnaire (WSQ) instrument were used to collect data. Chi Square was utilized to analyze the data. The statistical test results revealed a link between nurse work stress, income (p = 0.015) and mental workload (p = 0.001). To decrease stress, this study proposes striking a balance between demands and restricted abilities to offer nursing care

The study examined the relationship between sustainable shipping and organizational effectiveness of shipping companies in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. The independent variable is sustainable shipping. Also, the dependent variable – organizational effectiveness was measured with customer orientation and operational efficiency. The population of the study consisted of forty-five (45) shipping companies in Port Harcourt. The study selected ten (10) staff from each of the 41 shipping companies and that resulted to the sampling of four hundred and ten (410) staff and 374 copies of questionnaire were retrieved from them. After editing them, 354 copies of questionnaire representing 86.34% response rate were validly used for the study. The study used descriptive and inferential statistical tools to analyse the data. Specifically, Pearson Products Moment Correlation Coefficient (r) was used to test the hypotheses with the aid of SPSS 25.0. The study found that shipping companies have a formal Management Information System Department and employ managers whose main duties include the management of information technology to achieve organizational effectiveness. The study concluded that: Sustainable shipping has positive and significant relationship with customer orientation and operational efficiency of shipping companies. Technology moderates the relationship between maritime transport and organisational effectiveness of shipping companies. The study, therefore, recommends that: Government should create and encourage conducive maritime transport environment so that shipping companies can benefit from the economic and social gains arising from sustainable shipping practices. Shipping firms in Nigeria should adapt technology in various forms so that their maritime transport activities could be effectively and efficiently operated for optimal performance.

Towards A More Perfect Union in Nigeria: Examining the Role of The 1999 Constitution of The Federal Republic of Nigeria (As Amended)
D.O Okanyi, Ugochukwu Charles Kanu, Leonard Ibekwe Ugwu – August 2022- Page No.: 93-100
The history of the Federal Republic of Nigeria can be said to be replete with the search for effective and efficient models of governance to aid harmonious co-existence among the federating units. This has unfortunately led to an unending discussion on constitutional restructuring. The Legal framework and the institutions charged with the responsibilities of developing these models is and are established by the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended). Nigeria is increasingly becoming a theatre of war and terrorism centre where human life is not valued. Nigeria is stressed and distressed, with ‘revolutionary pressures’ everywhere. How did we get to this gridlock? How do we get out of it? And where do we go from here? Why is a country that was once ranked with India, Malaysia, Singapore, and South Korea still moving in circles instead of moving up? Why are we still a country in transition, more than a century after the Amalgamation? Are we fated to be a banana republic? This paper is to examine, cross-examine and re-examine these and other questions. It is the view of the researchers that all though the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) is not a perfect document, the major problem is that those saddled with the responsibility of implementing the provisions of the constitution are allowing the primordial sentiments of ethnicity and religious inclinations to becloud their sense of patriotism and nationhood, hence the constitution is implemented more in breach and default. There is therefore the need for a mental re-orientation and national re-birth to forge a greater sense of unity among the diverse ethnic groups that make up the Nigerian nation. The paper concludes by suggesting for the rapid mental renovation of political office holders and all citizens to embrace the rule of law where justice, fairness, and equity will regulate human conduct. This will ultimately metamorphosed into building a strong institution rather than strong personalities in Nigeria. The researchers ultimately advocates for sincere implementation of the provisions of the constitution as it is, pending constitutional amendment. The research methodology utilized by the researchers is the Qualitative Research methodology.

Language as Evidence: The Use of Voice Note in the Judicial Process of the Fake News of the Seven Voted Ballot Containers in Indonesia
Supardi – August 2022- Page No.: 101-107
In the case of fake news, language has an important role as evidence to determine whether a person has made fake news. This article provides a brief exploration and description of language as evidence in the case of fake news viewed from Indonesian legal cotext. It looks at the voice note concerning the fake news of the seven voted ballots containers written and spread by Bagus Bawana Putra (BBP) through social media on 1 January 2019, approaching the general election on 17 April 2019 in Indonesia. Adopting Miles and Huberman’s data analysis model, the voice note is analysed to find which words of BBP are claimed as evidence in determining whether BBP has violated Indonesian legal provisions. The result of the analysis shows that BBP was found guilty of violating Article 14 paragraph 1 and paragraph 2 and Article 15 of Law No. 1/1946 concerning Criminal Law Regulation.

Geneveva Nduku Mwongela, Dr. Elijah Macharia Ndung’u, Dr. Maria Ntarangwe – August2022- Page No.: 108-115
Consecrated religious women are missionaries by nature and are meant to live in communities made up of religious women from different nationalities, ethnicities and backgrounds. This living together as a family at times may be marked by challenges and difficulties caused by their cultural diversities. The main objective of this study is to assess multicultural awareness among the consecrated religious women. The study was guided by Social Integration Theory and Salad Bowl Theory. The study adopted a convergent parallel mixed methods research approach design. The target population was 86 participants that was sampled using census method. The study employed purposive sampling, to select 5 participants for qualitative data and 81 participants for quantitative data and only 71 questionnaires validly returned. The research instruments that were used were questionnaires given to 81 participants to collect quantitative data and 5 participants purposely chosen for interview to collect qualitative data. The study revealed that awareness of multiculturalism enabled many women religious to live harmoniously with each other from diverse cultures. The study established that religious women’s exposure to diverse cultures has immensely impacted their lives mostly in a positive way. The study also revealed that most of the respondent feel obliged to respect other cultures while acknowledging the existence of many similarities between one’s culture and other cultures. The study recommends that the General and Local superiors to consider organizing workshops and seminars to enlighten the consecrated religious women more about the challenges that arise as a result of multicultural differences.

Parental Participation in Children’s Educational Activities: Experiences of Parents and Teachers in Cameroon
Amshetu Melo Forchu Nkemleke – August 2022- Page No.: 116-125
The encouragement of children’s education requires several factors with parental involvement as a main factor in the educational experience. A large number of parents’ participation in their children’s education has been found to be less as compared to effective participation principles. This has led to the loss of the positive effects attributed to parent’s participation in their children’s educational activities. A qualitative research was conducted with parents and the school authorities to know the factors that motivate and hinder parents’ participation in their children’s education in secondary schools. Participants were purposively sampled due to their experience and knowledge in issues related to parental participation in the education of their children. Findings revealed that parents’ belief that their participation in their children’s education is part of the training they are supposed to give them and it has motivated them to participate. To comply with the system of integrated support for their children’s, schools need to build partnership with parents and develop mutual responsibility for children’s success in the educational system. Thus, an increase and encouragement emanate to a positive impact to a successful educational system of Cameroon. The results of the study show a significant positive relationship between parental participation in their children’s education and their academic performance. It is recommended from this study that parents should be sensitized of their crucial role in supporting their children’s education like exposing them to the social and academic world.

Corporate Fiscal Reconciliation from the Perspective of Justice
Alvin Hamzah Nasution – August 2022- Page No.: 126-130
Since the tax reform that began in 2002, there have been many changes or reforms in tax administration in Indonesia. The basis for this change is the implementation of a transparent and accountable tax administration system by using information technology. The problems in this research are: What causes corporate fiscal reconciliation? How is the technique of fiscal reconciliation viewed from the perspective of justice? The research is normative legal research which is discusses the legal aspects by conducting library research in terms of comparative law or legal history that is oriented to applicable laws and regulations. The normative legal research uses a legal approach that is relevant to the problems in this research. The causes of differences in commercial financial statements and fiscal financial statements are due to differences in accounting principles, differences in accounting methods and procedures, differences in the recognition of income and expenses, and differences in the treatment of income and expenses. According to the national point of view, the fiscal reconciliation technique is able to optimize state revenues from corporate taxes, and considering that tax is collected for the development of the country and the greatest prosperity of the people, the current fiscal reconciliation technique reflects the values of justice.

A Morphosyntactic Analysis of the Interlanguage of Kiswahili Speaking Learners of English
Oyiengo Selinah Nebokhi, Dr. Lucy Wathika, Dr. Phylis Bartoo – August 2022- Page No.: 131-143
This morphosyntactic study focused on analyzing the interlanguage of Kiswahili speaking learners of English at secondary school level. Guided by Corder’s Error Analysis theory and Selinker’s Theory of Interlanguage, the study analyzed the non-target-like syntactic sequences and morphological forms in the interlanguage of the learners in order to determine the strategies they use to navigate in English. The data was collected using a Grammatical Task covering a variety of grammatical concepts appropriate for the learners. Students’ essays, written independent of this study, were also analyzed to corroborate the findings from the grammatical task. The population sample consisted of 173 form 1, 2 and 3 students from six secondary schools in Malindi Town of Kilifi County, Kenya. The data collected was qualitatively analyzed according to Error Analysis and the Theory of Interlanguage frameworks by Corder and Selinker respectively. The non-target-like syntactic sequences and morphological forms in the sentences of the learners revealed deviations in word order, negation, interrogatives, tense and aspect, auxiliaries, clause linkages, word derivations, singularization, pluralization, and prepositional phrases. The non-target-like syntactic sequences and morphological forms came about as a result of strategies such as communication, overgeneralization, transfer of training and language transfer which learners employed to navigate in the English language. The findings of this study contribute to the field of knowledge with regards to Second Language Acquisition.

The Impact of Gender to Small Business Growth
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Nguyen Doan Khoi – August 2022- Page No.: 144-148
This paper indicated gender differences found in small business growth. The results of a pilot study indicate that owner-managers from middle-class families reveal high growth motivations and have been able to perform well in their businesses compared to those owner-managers from lower-class families. In terms of gender differences in relation to perceived business performance, we found that, female owner-managers have different perception of business growth. They measured business performance in terms of meeting personal goals they had set when they started their businesses.

Formation of Cyber Forces for Encounter Modern Warfare and Cyber Warfare
Luthfi Bia Susilo Putra, Rudy Sutanto – August 2022- Page No.: 149-152
As technology develops, human life will also be supported by technology. Positive impacts can be felt with this progress, but the threats also come with benefits. One of the threats that is quite serious is the threat of cyber war, it is a wars carried out in cyberspace, not in the physical world. This also has an impact on Indonesia’s defense and security, given the increasing number of cyber crimes, so that additional strength is needed for the TNI to maintain Indonesia’s defense and security. This study uses a literature study method by taking references from various reliable information. The results of the study show that at this time cyber war is in sight, in every country, of course, must be prepared for this. The example of espionage carried out by Australia against Indonesia is certainly very threatening to Indonesia’s security. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a fourth dimension, namely the cyber army or the Cyber Force TNI for the creation of maximum and equitable national defense and security. As with various countries that already have a special force or unit for cyber, Indonesia must also immediately make implementation on it.

The Employees Perception on Generation Stereotypes in Workplaces among Selected BPO Companies in Quezon City
Sophia Claire Flores, Giselle Algarne, Mary Leen Bondal, Abigail Campos, Ricamie Marticio, Kristine Paula San Juan, and Sheryl Morales – August 2022- Page No.: 153-158
The study sought to know the perception of employees about generational stereotyping from different generations in a BPO company. The study used qualitative research to investigate participants’ perceptions through their real-life experiences. The data was obtained through guided questions and interviews consisting of employees from each generation: Baby Boomer, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z. Some of the participants said that they are uncomfortable and felt awkward interacting with other generations because they share different views on life. The study’s results indicate that the word “stereotyping” refers to the behavior in which a person takes a negative perception and acts on it, whether the person does this on purpose or by accident. According to the results of this study, most of the participants had various understandings of generation stereotypes. The researchers concluded that; (1) stereotypes often occur in older generations. (2) the younger generation tends to avoid asking for help due to the belief that they already know everything. (3) give and take; where seniors shared their experiences while the younger generation shared their technical knowledge. Studies show different perceptions that deal with every generation. As a result, the company performs activities that help employees boost their confidence. Employees of different generations can have better interactions with their co-workers.

Managing Millennials: A Qualitative Study of Millennials Job-Hopping in the BPO Industry
Anna Nicole L. Binolac, Kate S. Venancio, Hillary C. Mendoza, Angelica M. Caruyan, Aira Mechaela B. Nietes, Jacklyn C. Fernandez, and Prof. Sheryl Morales – August 2022- Page No.: 159-165
The study sought to investigate the experiences of millennial employees that led to poor retention rates. Qualitative research was conducted to get an understanding of the variables influencing millennial employee retention rates as well as how firms respond. There has been a lot of research over the last decade that explains why an employee changes jobs. Preceding research about millennials states the reasons behind millennial job-hopping: (1) the impact of job dissatisfaction; (2) the impact of job satisfaction; and (3) the impact of effective leadership and management. According to the findings of this study, in order to retain millennial employees, companies must improve their management and conduct a monthly evaluation of their employees’ performance. It is also proven that a salary increase can help the management retain their employees, and healthy communication with the employees can help to keep not only millennial employees but other generations of employees as well

Factors Militating Against the Performance of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in Nigeria, 2003-2020
Gonee, Barile Jonathan, Prof. Fidelis Allen – August 2022- Page No.: 166-171
The EFCC was established by the Obasanjo civilian administration in 2003 to tackle the wide spread corruption in the system. Since its inception, the Commission has been in the trench, taking on the monster call corruption. But as the saying goes;” Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown”. The commission is faced with myriad of challenges some are internal while others are external. The aim of this article is to highlight some of the challenges that the EFCC faces as it carries out the arduous task of riding the nation of corruption. The paper made use of secondary data and uses the Institutional Corruption Theory as the theoretical framework for its analyses. It was discovered in course of our investigation that the EFCC is not resting on its oars in spite of the stupendous challenges that it faces. We have listed some of the challenges of the commission and have also made some vital recommendations that if implemented, would help the Commission to overcome those challenges. After all said and done, the political will to implement the recommendations still rest with the government of the day.

Nguyen Thi Hue, Pham Phuong Nam – August 2022- Page No.: 172-178
The study aimed to point out the advantages, limitations, their causes and propose solutions to make the issuance of residential land certificates faster and more convenient for households in Thanh Ha district, Hai Duong province in Vietnam. The study investigated 100 households that had declared documents for the issuance of residential land certificates and 55 officials handling the certification procedures. In the 2016-2020 period in Thanh Ha district, 492.19 ha of residential land were issued with certificates, accounting for 81.1% of the total residential land area to be granted, the remaining 93.24 ha were not issued with certificates, accounting for 18.9% of the total residential land need to be issued with certificates. The backlog of 363 applications for certificates was resolved. According to 81.8% of officials, there is work pressure when dealing with the certification process due to lack of manpower, the big amount of work to be resolved, the time limit for processing is short, and the procedure for the case of land use rights recognition is complex; the land database is not linked and has errors; complex determination of land use fees when recognizing land use rights; The facilities and equipment are still limited. Proposed solutions include ensuring sufficient human resources; completing certification and land database regulations, equipment, and implementation.

The Status of Married Women into the Process of Household Decision Making: A Study in Khulna City
Sabrina Mostafiz, and Hasan Jamil – August 2022- Page No.: 179-185
This study aims to determine the women’s role in household decision making in relation to their gender status. This study also explores the links between women’s status and their participation in household decision making process. This study revealed that 64.2 percent women are the housewives who are giving labour in household for free and hardly recognized. The findings of the study explicated that 41.6 percent women’s title belongs to their father before their marriage while 61.7 percent women’s title belongs to their husband after their marriage and 45 percent women got married based on the decision taken by their parents. The study found that over 38 percent of the women provided dowry at the time of their marriage and about 48 percent of the women’s had to forcefully pay dowry. It was also found that half (50.8%) of the women faced forced sex with husband. This is the common scenario in our patriarchal society because the woman is not regarded here as a distinct entity. The patriarchal society regarded them as an entity who obeys their decision. In this study woman’s decision about their maternal health care followed by 1st place in the rank order by obtained the mean value 3.80. This study concluded that marriageable age, marriage length, education, economic self sufficiency along with gender awareness, traditional socio-cultural practices, exposure to mass media and access to information can enhance women’s status in household decision making. Through this, it is possible to achieve gender equality at all levels in the society of Bangladesh.

Resilient mobility and logistics systems for future: Bangladesh Perspective
Asif Mahmud Arnob, and Sunanda Majumdar – August 2022- Page No.: 186-193
Resilient mobility and logistics (RML) system is now an emerging concept in the transportation system worldwide. Developing a transportation system is now a global challenge to support the economic development of any country. RML system is now a must to satisfy the mobility needs of its people, and participate in the global economy. This paper is based on secondary data analysis. It investigates how Bangladesh can handle the challenges it is facing now in becoming a developed country by implementing a more resilient mobility and logistics system in the future. It shows the impact of the transport and storage sector on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and economic development of Bangladesh. Besides, it tries to find out the barriers and limitations of the activities implemented till now or accepted and might be implemented in the future. It presents the current scenario of the transportation system of Bangladesh and proposes ways forward to overcome some of these challenges and promote sustainable development in Bangladesh. Under this backdrop, the study also aims to provide some possible solutions which includes implementing smart mobility, zero-emission, smart transport, development of robust modelling for resilience and response to the impacts of COVID-19 on the transportation system of Bangladesh.

The Effects of Hiring Person with Disabilities to the Overall Performance of Restaurant
Andrea Grace Laguna (Laguna), John Michael Binauhan (Binauhan), Kaye Erlano (Erlano), Kayla Reigne Nichole Alfonso (Alfonso), Khyla Mae Domingo (Domingo), (Sgd) Assoc. Prof. Sheryl Morales (Morales) – August 2022- Page No.: 194-199
In accordance with Republic Act 7277 (Magna Carta for Disabled Persons) and Republic Act 10524, it was stated that at the minimum one per cent of the positions in government agencies, offices, and businesses must be reserved for individuals with impairments. Despite the law’s full recognition, uninvited obstacles still affect the hiring of the disabled. Some workplaces are still hesitant to hire them as a negative stigma that they may adversely affect the company’s overall performance is rampant.
The narrative and phenomenology methods were used to examine the perspectives of restaurant managers who supervise disabled employees and customers’ responses to the services of disabled individuals. The investigators conducted both online and in-person interviews. The responses were organized into themes using thematic analysis.
Based on the study, the negative impression of hiring persons with impairments has hindered assessing the potential of disabled persons. Due to that, the researchers conducted a series of interviews to measure the effectivity rate of persons with disability in a restaurant setting. The study showed positive feedback on the overall performance from the managers and the customers. Thus, allowing the disabled person to be justified and treated in accordance with the present laws of employing PWDs.

Financial Market Long-Tenured Debt Instruments and Economic Growth in Developing Nations: Empirical Evidence from Nigeria
ELEJE, Edward Ogbonnia (PhD), NWANI, Christopher Onyemaechi & EZUEM, Daniel Moyotole – August 2022- Page No.: 200-207
Extant studies have attempted to establish the possible connection between financial market long tenured debt instruments and economic growth of nations especially, the developing countries. Results so far have appeared inconclusive and in some cases contradictory due to data set, timing, and even country peculiarities; hence, the continued need for further research in this dimension. The present study is therefore a contribution in this regard. The study basically evaluates the impact of bond, a major financial market long-tenured debt instrument on economic growth of a prototype developing nation, Nigeria. Specifically, it investigates the possible effect of federal, state, and corporate bonds on economic growth within a period (2003-2020). A computer based regression and correlation analysis aided by the Special Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20 was employed to test three formulated hypotheses. The findings from the empirical evaluation reveal that federal government bonds have strong positive impact on economic growth whereas both state government and corporate bonds have weak but positive effect on economic growth in Nigeria. Consequently, the paper recommends among others that federal government should continue to explore domestic bond market financing option for capital projects while investors should invest on the FGN bond instruments due to their riskless characteristics. Besides, state and local governments as well as corporate entities should intensify more efforts at exploring the financing potentials of the bond market to boost local level growth and contribute meaningfully to economic growth and development of Nigeria.

Analysis of Rural Agriculture and Economic Development in Cingkes Village Through The Integration of Chillies and Chickens
Annisa Ilmi Faried, Rahmad Sembiring, Uswatun Hasanah – August 2022- Page No.: 208-213
Convergence of the farmer’s farming system’s chili and chicken crop outputs. Both fresh and preserved chili waste can be utilized as poultry feed, while livestock excrement can be used as fertilizer for chili plants. A major focus of North Sumatra Province’s agricultural development strategy is the use of simple innovations to turn livestock dung into organic fertilizer, boosting the nutritional value of agricultural land and repurposing agricultural waste as animal feed. It aims to create an integrated system that benefits both breeders and farmers by increasing and preserving income. The development association between these two factors could lead to increased household incomes and higher agricultural and plantation yields. Creating a plan that integrates the slaughter chicken business with optimal food crops is meant to improve the financial well-being of farmer and breeder households.

Reliability of Homeownership Through Self-Build Approach in The Suburban Area of Nigeria Cities
Fagbohun, P. O., Shotunde, T. O., Oladiboye, E. O. and Ajaegbo, G. A. – August 2022- Page No.: 214-220
To be a homeowner has become what people desire, while different approaches have been adopted. The most common one in Nigeria is self-build housing method. The main focus of this paper is the assessment of self-build method, with a view to identifying the reliability of the method, towards increasing homeownerships and builds a sustainable living environment. The study made use of the existing literatures that were recently conducted empirically on Nigeria cities to make its findings. The paper discovered that self-build approach is a veritable instrument to increase the number of homeowners in Nigeria cities. The residents in Nigeria urban areas, particularly in the suburbs have been utilising the approach to become homeowners. The approach has not been helpful in building a sustainable urban environment, where all needed facilities will be provided to create a good living environment. This is because of some deficiencies in the application of the approach, which includes lack of compliance to rules and regulations that guide development control, poor land use planning, and inadequate involvement of professionals in the construction process and inadequate provision of the basic public services, among others. Based on these findings, the paper recommended that since self-build has become a tradition in housing provision, government should assume effective control of the process, by improving on the level of development control supervision. This will ensure strict compliance to land use planning and housing construction, through the involvement of relevant professionals in the built environment, at all stages of land use process and construction.

Customer Satisfaction Towards Micro Finance Bank Services Rendered to Small and Medium Scale Enterprises in Nigeria
EMERAH Ajevata. Apollos PhD – August 2022- Page No.: 221-225
This study examined the level of satisfaction of small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) with the services of micro finance banks in Nigeria. Purposive sampling was used to choose two states, namely Lagos and Oyo that had the largest percentage of registered SMEs in Southwestern Nigeria while Slovin’s formula was used to select 374 SMEs. The relevant data was obtained through the administration of structured questionnaire to SME’s operators. Descriptive tools such as percentages and mean as well as inferential statistical tools such as ANOVA were used for analysis. The result showed that small and medium scale enterprises were satisfied with the services of microfinance banks especially in the area of responsiveness, reliability and assurance.

Assessing Electronic Health Service of Bangladesh Government during COVID 19: A Cross-Sectional Mixed Method Survey
Md. Robiul Islam, Abdur Rahman – August 2022- Page No.: 226-233
The influx of COVID 19 has exposed the vulnerability of the health sector in both developing and developed countries. So, it has been crucial to assess the e-health service of the Bangladesh government during COVID 19. A cross-sectional mixed method survey was conducted where 150 participants took part in a closed-ended questionnaire survey and 10 participants were involved in a semi-structured interview. Participants are selected from urban (72%) and rural (28%) areas purposively who availed of e-health services during COVID 19. The study used SPSS version 25 to analyze quantitative data using descriptive statistics, frequency, mean, standard deviation, and variance. The result of the study exposed that the existing status of electronic health services in Bangladesh is not satisfactory yet. Most of the people (91.3%) accessed online vaccine registration services only. Due to the lack of information, participants are not availing rest of the e-health services of the government like telemedicine, COVID test report download, live corona test, and use of corona tracer app/ surokkha app. As a result, only 5.76% of participants are highly satisfied with the government e-health service during the pandemic. 56.88% responded that government had high-level challenges to promote electronic health services during COVID 19. The major challenges are lack of available e-health service information, awareness raising, and low level of internet speed. So, the study recommends bridging the digital divide between urban & rural areas along with ensuing more IT facilities in government health services.

The Nature of Communication in Secondary Schools in Makindye Division, Kampala District, Uganda
Dr. Kayindu Vincent, Nakiyingi Sarah – August 2022- Page No.: 243-248
Carried out in all the 16 secondary schools found in the eight parishes of Makindye division, Kampala district Uganda, this study explored, among other things, the nature of communication in secondary schools in Makindye division, between school managers and classroom teachers, between school managers and the learners, as well as between teachers and learners/students. The idea was to find out whether it was very good, good, poor or very poor. Communication in schools was conceptualized in terms of verbal and nonverbal, written and electronic communication between school administrators and teachers, between school administrators and students as well as between teachers and students. Since secondary schools in Makindye are few, only 16, and since at the time of data collection only two classes were at school, S.4 and S.6, there was no sampling of the teachers. Thus, all the 16 schools and 198 teachers of S4 and S6 participated in the study. Out of the198 questionnaires which are distributed to all the teachers using five research assistants, 150 usable questionnaires were returned, hence the response rate of 79.4%. Ten out of the very teachers who filled the questionnaires were also subjected to oral intervals. In addition, twenty students were interviewed to supply information about their teachers’ productivity and communication in their schools. Using arithmetic means to analyze data, the findings revealed that communication in schools was generally poor (mean). The researcher recommended for the need of a more effective communication system in schools.

Contextualizing Poverty along with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) 3, 6 and 9 as non-income indicators in Ocampo, Camarines Sur Philippines: Evidences from CBMS 2019
Michael P. Vale – August 2022- Page No.: 249-259
Measuring poverty using non-income indicators enable countries to target and develop programs for poverty alleviation and understand its performance towards the sustainable development goals (SDG’s). This paper which seeks to evaluate the performance of the municipality of Ocampo in Camarines Sur, Philippines towards the SDG’s via the Community-based Management System (CBMS) would enable policymakers to target recipients of government programs and interventions in the municipality. This paper looked into the responsiveness of the municipality of Ocampo, Camarines Sur to the SDGs by identifying the household poverty index; poverty gap index and poverty severity index as well as estimating the probability of households in Ocampo, Camarines Sur to becoming poor using non-income indicators which are connected with the SDG’s. Employing the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (FGT) poverty measures, and logistic regression, the researcher found that around 64.5% of the households in the municipality of Ocampo, Camarines Sur are poor. Likewise, majority of the poor households in the municipality don’t have access to clean and safe water, toilet facilities and internet and electric connectivity. However, despite them being poor, the residents of Ocampo visits medical facilities and received medical treatments if they are sick. The municipality does well in SDG 3, good health and well-being. To further strengthen the municipality’s responsiveness to the SDG’s, there is a need to strengthen barangay health units, develop local water sources and further access to internet connectivity.

Assessment of Gaps in Higher Education Financing in Ghana
Richard Amoah – August 2022- Page No.: 260-264
Despite rising educational costs, governmental financing for higher education has decreased, especially in the developing world. This is attributable to a number of factors, including competition for public funds among various economic sectors, competition between higher education institutions and other sub-divisions of education, and the innovative rationale of modern public administrastion. These developments necessitate the pursuit of novel ways to financing higher education. This involves an examination of the financing of higher learning in various countries. To that end, the goal of this study was to evaluate current education finance in Ghana in order to point out the existing gaps in practice. The study used a comparative research methodology to compare and contrast developing worldwide best practices in higher education finance with present practices in Ghana. The findings of the study show that present means of higher learning finance are narrowly targeted. According to the findings, current financing mechanisms have problems that the funding model do not address. The paper concludes with policy and practical recommendations. Among other policy choices, governments and educational institutions should search for new potential funding sources for university education and align funding with country’s development needs and targets.

Fiscal Decentralization and Economic Growth. The Case of Mogadishu, Somalia
Ali Adan Hassan – August 2022- Page No.: 273-280
With the failure of the centralized military regime and the subsequent transitional governments, Somalia adopted decentralized federal governance following the approval of a provisional federal constitution by 825 constituent assemblies representing different clans. However, the Fiscal decentralization in Somalia is in its infancy stage, and the allocation of functional assignments among the federal and state governments is yet to materialize. Therefore, the primary objective of the present study is to examine the effect of fiscal decentralization on economic growth in Mogadishu, Somalia, emphasizing the current practice and challenges.
The study employed descriptive case study research that collected qualitative and quantitative primary data through an online mixed questionnaire and structured interview guide with the target population and analysed with due process. The study findings reveal that adequate revenue and expenditure responsibilities with some degree of fiscal autonomy to subnational governments are critical to properly implementing fiscal decentralization and improving citizens’ living standards. In addition, the research found that political stalemate, weak national government, poor cooperation among different levels of government, security-related challenges, limited technical, administrative or fiscal capacities, and economic disparity are among the obstacles that hinder effective fiscal decentralization in Somalia.
Finally, the study recommends strengthening intergovernmental fiscal relations, finalizing the provisional constitution review to address financial matters, developing a revenue-sharing formula that guides fiscal transfer arrangements, enhancing the institutional capacity of subnational governments, and allocating the considered budget to the social and economic services as they are necessary economic growth.

Experiences of Managers Upon Handling Neurodiverse Employees
Charmaine Gie B. Galeza, Icey Caxandra L. Quiseo, Mikaela Dominique A. Salabit, John Iverson B. Trinidad, Glenn Ian M. Vetonio, Sheryl R. Morales – August 2022- Page No.: 281-287
The intent of this research is to unfold managers’ experiences in handling neurodiverse employees. Managers who help their employees succeed in the organization have tremendous accomplishments, but among all the tasks that manager must perform, managing people is by far the most challenging as each employee is different, unforeseen, and driven by the own set of forces. Proponents used a qualitative research method specifically narrative inquiry and conducted an in-depth interview with semi-structured questions. The following themes revealed in this study are (1) manager’s knowledge and involvement in neurodivergent employees at work, (2) acknowledging the challenges faced by the managers in handling neurodiverse employees, (3) strategies of managers in dealing with neurodivergent employees, and (4) the influence of manager’s positive approach in the welfare of neurodiverse employees. Therefore, it is concluded that managers have little to no challenges in handling neurodiverse employees. Moreover, these types of employees are above average people in terms of performance but lack emotional control that leads to anger and frustration. In the perspective of the following participants, there is no perfect strategy in handling neurodiverse employees. Managers must be diversified and versatile in handling these types of employees and use strategies that fit in with their needs. This study was assessed and completed that allows managers, especially the human resource management, to get an informative approach in neurodiverse employees.

Litigation or Adr: Which Benefits International Relations
Nana Amma Adjovu – August 2022- Page No.: 288-293
I. INTRODUCTION
The concept of international relations operates on various theories, both realism and liberalism. In realism, states use military force to relate to the international community. Even though leaders of these states may be moral, such attributes do not influence their foreign policy decisions. The realists recognize that law and international organizations have no force or power; hence, their existence depends on how other states recognize and accept them. To them, states must always seek power to protect themselves for self-preservation

A Normative Approach to Exploring Political Settings for Constitution Capture
Sandun Yapa, Prof. Baishun Yuan – August 2022- Page No.: 294-307
Although the body of literature on the phenomenon of state capture has been growing more prominent since 1999, some academics have still struggled to determine even the apparent manifestation of state-capture political settings at a definitional and operational level. The main reason for this is that they seem to have unwarrantedly confined to economic explanations, or Hellman and his colleagues’ original definition and conditions of exploring the phenomenon in which the outside business actors of the state with monetary interests are only recognized as the main active captors of the state, among other conditions. Therefore, it is theoretically necessary to develop an analytical framework for an understanding of state capture, which helps us examine how the inside political actors of the state can also involve themselves in capturing the state for their political interests. In discussing definitional and operational issues on the original and current understanding of the phenomenon, we attempt to identify some key factors and normative elements in the nurturing of such an analytical framework. It is reasonable to conclude that to enhance our ability to fully explore state-capture political settings in the established elements of a constitution or legislation, the occurrence of shaping ‘the formation of the basic rules of the game’ should conceptually and empirically be recognized as a typology of the phenomenon of state capture, namely ‘constitution capture’ while shifting our research focus from the activity-politics (the political life) of the state to the sphere-politics (the idea) of the state in a way that the locus of the phenomenon and its profound consequences are to be explained in terms of the sphere-politics.

Educational Curricula Design and Developmenti in the African States, in the Digital Age
Vincent Chukwukadibia Onwughalu – August 2022- Page No.: 308-314
This paper examines the relevance of the educational curricula of African states in the digital age. Education is strategic in the formation and development of human capacity, as it is a prerequisite for self-discovery and development of society. Relying on the analysis of secondary data, the paper examines the mismatch between skills acquired in most African schools and the set of skills needed to function optimally in the digital age. It traces this to the curricula in use which contribute to the non-development and underdevelopment of learners’ii capacity, and therefore an increase in the rate of unemployment, amongst other challenges. The revolution driven by information communications technologies has impacted virtually all walks of life and redefined how things are done in the digital age. We advocate an overhaul of the educational system of African states and subsequent reviewing and revising of their curricula to facilitate inculcating in learners a set of skills needed to function optimally for their development and for society.

Ratih Komala Sari, Emmanuel Michael Bayudhirgantara – August 2022- Page No.: 315-323
Objective: Improve the previous research, namely analyzing the influence of Organizational Culture (X1), Compensation (X2), and Employer Branding (X3), on Employee Retention (Y2) through the intervening variable Job Satisfaction (Y1)
Design / Methodology / Approach: This study is based on a quantifiable approach with associative analysis by collecting data through observation, and questionnaire answers conducted on 99 YI Logistic Company employees with employee status who have worked for more than 5 years. The data analysis technique uses a supported method using the SmartPLS application version 3.2.9 for Windows.
Findings: This study proves that Organizational Culture (X1), Compensation (X2), and Employer Branding (X3) have a significant effect on Employee Retention (Y2) with intervening media through Job Satisfaction (Y1). Simultaneously the variables of job satisfaction and employee retention become the strongest correlation, with this describing high job satisfaction will make employee retention even higher.
Originality/ Values: This study proves that the relationship between Organizational Culture, compensation, employer branding through job satisfaction as an intervening variable can have a significant effect on employee retention. This becomes empirical information as an improvement and development for the company.

The evolution of Islamic Education in Northern Ghana
Imoro Fatawu and Abubakari Yushawu – August 2022- Page No.: 324-336
This study examined the evolution of Islamic Education in Northern Ghana. It traced the history of Islamic Education through missionaries responsible for the introduction of Islamic Education, the methodology of instruction, the organisation of content and funding among others. It further looked at the rejection of western style of secular education by parents and early Islamic converts and their teachers. The study adopted qualitative methodology and used historical research design. A sample of 24 participants were purposively selected and interviewed. Data was also obtained from documentary analysis of articles, journals, archival records, books, letters and minutes from education commissioners of the northern territories. It was found that the Hausa, the Wangara, the Larbanga, etcetera who were mostly traders were those who introduced Islam and Islamic education in Northern Ghana, the kind of education introduced were neither organised nor formal and funding was done by the local people while the chiefs provided land to support the educational efforts of the missionaries. It was recommended that Ghanaian traders both men and women should emulate the example of the earlier traders by funding Islamic education not only in Northern Ghana but also the entire country.

A study on medical students’ perspective regarding online learning from a selected government medical school
Wettasinghe I, Weerakkody DSI, Elvitigala KN, Sandakumari G.V.N. – August 2022- Page No.: 337-341
Background: During the Covid Pandemic, online lectures played a crucial role in medical education. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of incorporating online teaching in medical curriculum.
Methods: Data was collected via a self-administered online questionnaire from 360 Medical Students of a selected Medical Faculty in Sri Lanka.
Results: Among our study population 63% (213/338) were females aged between 20 to 29 with a mean of 23.4 years (Standard deviation 2.09). Before the pandemic only 3.6% had used online lectures during their medical curriculum.
At the time of data collection 56% of the students had attended more than 50 online lectures. Majority (65.6%) of the study population stated that their knowledge had improved during the pandemic.
Among them, 44% had stated that they read more books during the pandemic while 24% had reduced reading during the pandemic. Majority preferred online lectures (59%) over traditional lectures and the main reasons given were the minimum time consumption for travelling (92.3%). Majority of the students (62.4%) stated that they felt less sleepy during online lectures and 60.1% stated that they retained more facts with online lectures. 83% of the participants who stated that they felt sleepy during the online lectures still wished to continue online lectures even after the Covid Pandemic and it was statistically significant. (P =0.00)
Students preferred online lectures to be more interactive and wanted a lecture note or pdf to be given prior to the lecture. Majority of the students used a smart phone and all the students zoom as their portal to online lectures.
Even though 77.2% of the study population had connection interruptions during online lectures, majority of the students (67.2%) wish to have online lectures even after the COVID-19 pandemic instead of the lectures in the hall.
Conclusion: Online lectures should be continued as a key part of the medical education even after social distancing restrictions are lifted and traditional lectures are resumed. Infrastructure should be improved to minimize connection interruptions.

Joram Kiarie Njuguna, Prof. Nelson Jagero (PhD) – August 2022- Page No.: 353-358
The objectives of the study were to; investigate the social institutions influencing effective utilization, investigate social networks influencing effective utilization, establish how work place values influence effective utilization and to determine cultural values that influence effective utilization of YEDF in Isiolo County, Kenya. The study adopted correlational research and descriptive survey designs. The total study population was 9,602 people. This included a target population of 1,919 youths who have benefitted from YEDF and obtained from the 288 youth groups in Isiolo County. The population also included 7 YEDF officials and 7,676 community members. A sample of 384 respondents was obtained both proportionately and purposively. All the 7 YEDF officials participated in the study. Data collection was done using questionnaires and interviews. Reliability of the instruments was estimated using Cronbach Alpha Coefficients. Questionnaire for youths had a reliability coefficient index of 0.916 while questionnaire for community members had a reliability coefficient of 0.805 which were deemed reliable basing on the threshold set at 0.7 Cronbach Alpha Coefficient Index. Both questionnaires were self-administered. An interview schedule for the key informants was also used and filled by the respondents. Research assistants were hired to assist in the process. The respondents were given time to respond to the questionnaires and those who were not able to read or write were be assisted. Data was analyzed by use of descriptive and inferential statistics. The descriptive statistics used in the study was mean, standard deviation, percentages and frequencies while the inferential statistics used was linear regression. The study findings indicated that social institutions had significant influence on effective utilization of youth enterprise development fund. The study recommended incorporation of the YEDF beneficiaries’ family members, peers and religious institutions in planned sensitization trainings for the fund to reduce the barriers caused by such institutions on effective utilization of the fund.

The Reward System of Selected BPO Companies Related to Their Experiences in Achieving Company Objectives
Jamaica Zeah Poblete, Marc Steven Rey, Ervyn James C. Sampang, Guenhana Sarque, Sheryl Morales – August 2022- Page No.: 359-362
During this time of the pandemic, the business process outsourcing (BPO) Industry became more evident and the most applied job for the Filipino people, most especially those youths who stopped studying due to the struggles during Covid-19. But because of different problems brought by the pandemic, the stress of the BPO employees weighs more than before, which could affect their work performance toward achieving company objectives.
This study aims to know how the reward system in BPO companies can affect both call center agents and the company’s Human Resource Manager, based on their experiences. Guide questionnaires were used and one-on-one interviews were conducted to gather necessary information and their experiences about the said topic.
From the analysis, it is found that implementing a rewards system in a BPO company can boost employees’ morale, reduce attrition rate, and has negative and positive effects on the employees.
The study will be significant, primarily for both call center agents and the human resource managers of every BPO company, because this will help them to know different perspectives of both stated positions, about how reward systems and/or incentives affect their performance toward achieving company objectives, most specially this time of the pandemic.

Quota System and Catchment Area Policies as Determinants of Students’ Admission Processes in Public Universities in North Central Nigeria
Cletus I. Tyokyaa Phd and Mahmud Pinga Phd – August 2022- Page No.: 369-374
The study investigated the influence of quota system and catchment area policy on students’ admission processes in public universities in North Central Nigeria. Two research questions guided the study and two hypotheses were tested. Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised 17,240 respondents from thirteen public universities. A total of 862 respondents from six public universities were sampled using a multi-stage sampling procedure (purposive and proportionate stratified random sampling techniques). A 4-point structured 10-item rating scale questionnaire titled Quota System and Catchment Area Policy and Admission Questionnaire (QSCAPAQ) was developed by the researchers and used for data collection. The data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions, while Regression Analysis was used to test the hypotheses at .05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that quota system and catchment area policies have significant influence on students’ admission processes in public universities in North Central Nigeria. The study concluded that these policies provide citizens and groups with a sense of equal representation and participation. However, in achieving excellence, the universities should encourage universality that will foster respect and integrity; promote equity and justice; as well as provide fertile ground for the federal character principle and other national policies. It was recommended among other things that, to enhance access to university education, the quota system and catchment area policies or locality discrimination should be reviewed to liberalize the admission process and encourage hard work among students.

Website-Based Infographic Dental Health Educational Media to Improve Oral and Dental Health Behavior Elementary School Students
Ratna Dwi Handayani, Masrifan Djamil, Bedjo Santoso, Diyah Fatmasari, Quroti Aýun – August 2022- Page No.: 375-379
Dental and oral health problems in elementary school students belong to the high category. Website-based infographic media is an educational media packaged on a website that contains information about maintaining oral and dental health that aimed to make it easier for children to receive and understand information clearly and can be solved independently so that it can change behavior. The purpose of this study was to produce a website-based infographic dental and oral health education media that is feasible and effective against changes in brushing behavior in elementary school students. This study used R&D methods and product/model trials (study true experimental control group pretest and posttest design). The subjects of this study were elementary school students aged 10-11 years divided into 2 groups, namely website-based infographics as an intervention group and animated videos as a control group, and the duration of treatment for 21 days. The data were tested using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. The results of the website-based infographic expert validation research averaged 87.17 (very feasible) as a medium for promoting dental health in elementary school students were shown with a p-value of 0.000. This medium was effective in increasing knowledge p=0.000, attitude p=0.000, action p=0.000, and debris index score p=0.000 compared to the control group. This study concluded that the application of a website-based infographic conducted for 21 days was effective in improving dental and oral health behaviors in elementary school students compared to the control group.

Motives, Problems, and Reforms in Transnational Higher Education: A Case Study of SUCs in The Philippines
Medardo B. Bombita – August 2022- Page No.: 380-391
This study examines the transnational higher education in the Philippines using sequential exploratory mixed design based on document analysis, and tools to conduct cross-sectional survey. The survey was developed and standardized interview was adopted where results were transcribed and coded for emerging themes. Four research questions guided this study: 1) What are the motives of international mobility of students? 2) What are the problems met by Filipino international students; 3) What actions taken by SUCs to address concerns of mobile students; and 4) What recommendations can be offered to better enhance the transnational higher education in the Philippines.
The results exhibited challenges still persist that hinder transnational higher education programs, notwithstanding the long-term consequences of COVID-19. Most SUCs included internationalization in institution’s policies and plans to be compliant with the SUC levelling, quality assurance assessments and responding to the ASEAN regional integration. Adoption of open and distance learning (ODL) as part, or an alternative modality of internationalization of higher education under RA 11448 is timely and pragmatic.

Work-Life Balance of Collegiate Professors: A Mixed Methods Study
Divina Grace Salucop Honorario, Gloria Pacifico.Gempes – August 2022- Page No.: 392-399
The primary purpose of this convergent mixed-methods study was to find out the work-life balance of collegiate professors in Region XI through survey, interview and focus group discussion. For the quantitative phase, a total of 405 respondents participated in the survey and a total of 17 informants were interviewed for the qualitative phase within the same time frame. The 17 informants were not part of the 405 respondents in conformity with the research approach for convergent mixed methods study. In analyzing the data, descriptive statistics and ANOVA were used for the quantitative aspect and thematic analysis for the qualitative aspect. Empirical findings showed that the level of work-life balance of collegiate professors was high. The non-significant difference in the work-life balance of collegiate professors was apparent when analyzed by age, gender, and marital status. The qualitative analysis made use of the indicators of the quantitative survey as a priori themes: family-work conflict, work-family conflict, family satisfaction, and work satisfaction. The results obtained from the in-depth interview and focus group discussion in the qualitative aspect of the study confirmed the findings in the quantitative phase, hence the nature of integration is merging – confirmation showing that the collegiate professors involved in the study have favorable work-life balance.

Language Anxiety Variables and Their Negative Effects on SLA: A Psychosocial Reality in Bangladesh
Souvik Barua – August 2022- Page No.: 400-408
The study aimed to explore the psychological and socio-cultural factors that contribute to situation-specific anxiety and impede second language acquisition (SLA). It collected data from a survey questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, and focus group discussions with 39 Bangladeshi EFL learners at the tertiary level. The findings indicate that situation-specific anxiety has a negative impact on the acquisition of a second language. This language anxiety stems from distinct personality traits, including fear of public speaking, fear of making mistakes, fear of being negatively judged by teachers and peers, lack of self-confidence, peer comparison, fear of native cultural exclusion, and an overall unfavorable classroom environment. The results imply several psychosocial and individual perspectives which cannot be ignored in the essential concept of second language acquisition. Teachers may use this study as a reference to assist their students in generating better ideas and understanding second language acquisition from the perspective of the learners.

Unclear international agreements; It’s a sociopsychological and domestic political phenomenon
Abdullah Murat Tuncer – August 2022- Page No.: 409-412
Turkey’s veto on Finland and Sweden’s NATO membership was exceeded at the NATO meeting. The positive outcome of Sweden and Finland’s membership in this agreement is clear and unmistakable. It is unclear what Turkey has achieved and what it has vetoed in return.
NATO leaders gathered in Madrid, Spain, to discuss important issues facing the Alliance. The Madrid Summit has set NATO’s strategic direction for the future, ensuring that the Alliance will continue to adapt to a changing world and keep its one billion people safe.
After the NATO meeting in Spain, the typical headline of the newspapers affiliated with Erdogan was “Erdogan slammed his fist on the table and got what he wanted.” However, there has been no development regarding Erdogan’s wishes, how the embargo will be lifted, his entry into the F35 project, and the results regarding the F16 warplanes. The agreement is unclear, and the issue regarding the extradition of those considered terrorists by Sweden and Finland by Turkey was limited to the constitutional regulations of Finland and Sweden.
Since international agreements are mainly used as domestic policy material, autocratic leaders mostly make their agreements in a way that goes wherever they are drawn. Thus they can use them as domestic policy material and create the desired effect on their uneducated voters.

Does Multinationals Entry Mode Affect Local Firms’ Export Behaviours? Evidence from Cameroon
Amza Mounchili Youwa, Henri Ngoa Tabi – August 2022- Page No.: 413-423
This study verifies whether foreign presence namely Greenfield and Joint venture reduce or push up local firms’ exports behaviours using the Heckman sample selection model pooled over a survey firm-level panel data in Cameroon during 2006-2016 provided by the World Bank. we found that (i) Joint venture activities have more significant positive impact on Cameroonian export behaviours than greenfield affiliate; and (ii) such externalities are heterogeneous and depend on Cameroonian firm-level characteristics. Firm size, and firm age are found to have significantly positive impacts on the joint venture export externalities magnitude, while access land and financing and transport-related obstacles exert significant negative impacts on their side. Only the transport obstacle has a statistically significant negative effect on the greenfield export spillovers magnitude. Our findings present significant implications for policy makers seeking to help domestic firms benefit more from foreign-linked export spillovers such as promoting export-oriented joint venture and reducing obstacles related to accessing land and financing formalities and less complex appropriate customs measures

Globalisation and Social Media: Impacts of Facebook on the Contemporary Order
Socrates Ebo – August 2022- Page No.: 436-440
One of the products of globalization is the invention of social media. Social media literally obliterated the barriers of space and time in human interactions and communication. Globalization made the world a global village but social media made the world a global sitting room. They changed our mode of being in the world and impacted on almost every facet of humanity’s social existence. It ushered a new world order: the instantaneous order where everyone follows everyone in real time from every corner of the earth. It took away the talking points of social discourse from the government and transferred it to the marketplace of the social space were everyone is a broadcaster and everyone could read everyone. This work highlights the dynamics of globalization on social media and the far-reaching impacts they have made on world order. The research is fundamentally philosophical. The methods of the research are analytic and expository

Intrafemale Civility: Sisterhood in Ellen Sirleaf’s “This Child Will Be Great”
Joseph Olita Omekede, Dr. Joseph Musungu, Dr. Felix Orina – August 2022- Page No.: 447-453
This paper interrogates sisterhood in Ellen Johnson Sirleaf’s text “This Child Will be Great” (2008). Because of the desire to continue othering the female gender, the phrase “Women are their own worst enemies” found footing in human relations, this has called for a response from women to this negation of them. The objective in the paper is to highlight women supporting women in the text under study. Looking at Sisterhood at the family, friendship and mass action levels, this study argues that the idea and practice of sisterhood, understood as political, social and economic solidarity amongst women, enhances their capacity to promote social transformation in societies. The main source of the primary data is the selected text and it involves the close reading of the text and eventual analysis of women sorority. The data collected has been analysed and evaluated within the text in relation to sisterhood. One of the findings of this paper is that autobiographical works by African women propound sisterhood as it is a major ingredient in women’s quest to their preferred feminist discourse and subversion of patriarchy. This paper concludes that women have realized the strength in their unity and thus the need to work together in a society that has otherwise relegated them based on their gender. Just like a mother opening her arms to embrace her child, this research is crucial as it serves as a rallying call to women to hold each others hand in the quest for women empowerment in the society

Facilitating Psychological Recovery of Student-Athletes at Post-Injury
Desiree A. Espina – August 2022- Page No.: 454-461
This paper intends to propose a counseling program for collegiate student-athletes who need psychological intervention following their sport injuries. The proposed program consists of three phases: Assessment Phase, Intervention Phase, and Termination and Maintaining Changes Phase. It is anchored to two important evidence-based frameworks – the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Framework and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Using CBT techniques, the program will attempt to regulate an injured athlete’s negative emotions such as anxiety and fear to develop positive and helpful cognitions, to help the client establish clear and defined post-injury goals and to impact some behavioral improvements in the injured athlete’s adherence to recovery goals. Consequently, it will also target to facilitate the development of two of the five core competencies being promoted by the SEL Framework namely self-awareness and self-management.

Leadership
Mandela Oniemola, Professor Olalekan Asikhia – August 2022- Page No.: 462-467
This article examines and evaluates major leadership theories, as well as summarizes findings from empirical leadership research. Major topics and controversies include leadership versus management, leader traits and skills, leader behaviour and activities, leader power and influence, situational determinants of leader behaviour, transformational leadership, the importance of leadership for organizational effectiveness, and leadership as an attributional process. This article attempts to provide some clarity on the major topics mentioned above. Over time there have been several writings about the importance of leadership in driving change, achieving organizational goals, and facilitating appropriate responses to many other life challenges however stakeholders have also argued that strong leadership is required, particularly during difficult times such as conflicts, economic meltdowns, or flu pandemics. What leadership means, what competencies are required to be a leader, and what role the application of leadership plays in successfully responding to challenges are all unclear in this dialogue. These questions are pertinent to the advancement of an institution, nation or a discipline and profession. The consensus among many academics and practitioners is that the growth of thinking over time has created a perception that leadership is a fluid developmental process, with each new piece of research building on and extending earlier studies rarely ignoring anything that came before it completely. Main conceptions that arose in the 20th century are the Great Man Theory, Trait Theory, Process Leadership Theory, Style and Behavioral Theory and Laissez Faire, transformational, and transactional leadership theories

Moodle Learning Management System Utilization Assessment: Lenses on Its Accessibility, Security, and Usability
Irene C. Gumiran – August 2022- Page No.: 468-471
This study portrays the respondents’ profile in assessing Moodle utilization, particularly its features, accessibility, security, and usability. This also adopted quantitative data collection and analysis methods, specifically descriptive data analysis. The data were collected thru an online survey using a researcher-made instrument, that is, the survey questionnaire from the population of the College of Education, Rizal Technological University, Philippines, with a purposive sampling for the selection of respondents. The study employed weighted mean as the tool in the statistical treatment for parts 1-2 questionnaires and Inductive/Deductive processes of qualitative thematic analysis for the part 3 questionnaire. The findings indicated that the Moodle features are for proficient users with smartphones/tablets who prefers to stay at home. Regarding the extent of Accessibility, the respondents are navigating Moodle 3-5 times a week for two years. At the same time, the Security and Usability utilization of Moodle was rated as Likely by the respondents, which means that the respondents found it to be very efficient and successful. Offering training that goes beyond knowing how to use technology and addresses the effectiveness and efficiency of teaching and learning with technology is one of the recommendations for schools adopting Moodle

Cloud Computing in Education and its Importance to University Students
Kasumu, Rebecca Oluwayimika (PhD), Uduak Idoghor (PhD, LLB) – August 2022- Page No.: 472-478
Technology known as cloud computing makes it possible for users to use computer resources as a service whenever and wherever they need them, including computing power, computing infrastructure, applications, corporate processes, and personal collaboration. Cloud computing makes it possible to connect instructors and students on a single, multipurpose platform. Schools, colleges, and universities no longer need to own and manage their own information technology infrastructure and data centers thanks to cloud computing. Data and resources saved in the cloud are also guaranteed and safeguarded. Many school districts adopt cloud computing solutions as a result of the desire to discover more affordable ways to integrate technology in the classroom. In addition to being less expensive, cloud computing allows for innovative teaching methods and more student engagement. Students who are entirely comfortable with technology and who have grown up with it are essential for the success of cloud computing technologies in the classroom. They easily acclimate to its use in the classroom since they are constantly using cloud-based technology in their personal life. Teachers who may not be as familiar with the potential of cloud-based solutions must receive some instruction and training. Technology can be used in an effective and economical way using cloud computing.

Achieving Universal Basic Education in Ghana: An Analysis of the Impact of School Dropout
Frank Yeboah-Obeng, Daniel Yaw Acheampong, Samuel Badu – August 2022- Page No.: 479-489
This theoretical paper investigates the causes of dropout among students in Ghanaian Basic Schools to inform relevant strategies for the ongoing implementation of the new education reforms. This study identified family, community and geolocation induced challenges in both rural and urban public communities, impacting on the provision of and access to equitable, quality universal basic education in Ghana. The study thus found that where child lives– family, community and geolocation – determine to a greater extent, the child’s likelihood of going through the full cycle of Basic Education in Ghana. The paper also found that a child’s attitude and behavior could also influence his/ her decision to remain and complete school. The paper argues that the existing Ghanaian government’s policy interventions have been inadequate in dealing with dropout and advocates for future empirical research into the phenomenon in question. This will not only provide alternative models for dealing with dropout but also assist the government in future educational policy design, as it seeks to achieve quality and equitable education for all.

Field Dependent-Independent Cognitive Styles as Correlates of Reading Comprehension Performance among Form Two Students in Kiambu County, Kenya
Teresia Kiragu, Dr. Doyne Kageni Mugambi, Prof. Theresia Kinai – August 2022- Page No.: 490-498
The problem addressed by this study was that secondary school teachers in Kenya have largely ignored the cognitive learning styles of students in their pedagogical strategies. The teachers have been mostly using talk-chalk method, which may be attributed to dismal performance in reading comprehension in English especially in sub county secondary schools. Scholarly efforts to address this issue have majorly focused on non-cognitive factors. The study was anchored on the field dependence-independence theory of cognitive styles. This study used correlational research design. The sample size was 20 public day schools representing 11% and 860 form two students representing 10.6%. The study used a modified Group Embedded Figures Test and English comprehension test. The pilot study was carried out in two schools with a sample of 30 students to establish the reliability and validity of the research tools. Data analysis involved the use of Pearson correlation and t-test to test the research hypotheses with the aid of SPSS program version 23. The findings revealed that there was a significant relationship between field independent cognitive learning style and reading comprehension performance, r (452) = .32, P = .01. The results also indicated that there was a positive significant correlation between field dependent cognitive learning style and reading comprehension score, r (404) = .48, P = .00. The findings revealed that the mean score difference in reading comprehension performance of respondents with FI and FD cognitive learning styles was statistically significant, t (854) = -2.13, p = .03. The study recommends that curriculum designers and the developers of learning content should include cognitive learning styles in learning books to educate secondary school students on the importance of these styles in educational achievement. Teachers should use diverse teaching methods that cater for the different cognitive learning styles to improve reading comprehension performance.

Political economy influence on media content in Zimbabwe: The pre-2018 election discourse
Silas Nkala – August 2022- Page No.: 515-526
The right to freedom of choice, expression and information are fundamental principles of democracy and good governance. However, these concepts are applied differently from country to country and they can be easily identified through free press reportage as to whether they are upheld or not. Democracy in essence breeds good governance and the free press has to act as watchdogs to the systems that are responsible to ensure and enable democracy. The first step to democracy in Zimbabwe and many other countries is believed to be the electoral process which ushers in new governments after every given time frame. In Zimbabwe the term of office of an elected government is five years after which elections are conducted. Before the elections are physically conducted they are usually played in the media. Thus, political parties vying for positions to be the next government use the media as tools to rally support from the electorate. Zimbabwe held harmonised elections in 2018. The political parties in the country got into an election mood ahead of the polls and the media diverted its attention from other issues to focus much on election related reporting. In their reportage two major influences shaped their content and these are the political economy (ownership and funding) and agenda setting. In Zimbabwe there are two folds to media ownership, namely the state and private media. However, their role of setting public agenda usually influences their content at a larger extent.

Engr. Mohammad Ariful Islam – August 2022- Page No.: 527-531
This article provides a details understanding in dealing with the issue of validity of hadith, the second source of ‘Islamic Shariah’-whether the ilm-ur –rijal could be considered as a part of science or not. The method for convincing the topic is based on the Holy Quran and Sunnah. It explains the importance of scrutinizing ‘isnad’ to follow the authentic hadith and thus to walk through the straightforward way (Siratool Mustaqim). For logical purpose, some aspects and methods of science have been explained. Foundation and method of ‘ilm-ur-rijal’have been discussed providing examples from the renowned ‘rijal’ books written by the early leaders (Imam) in the respective area. Common arguments supporting ‘ilm-ur-rijal’ are also mentioned.

Learning Goal Orientations as Correlates of Reading Comprehension Performance among Secondary School Students in Kiambu County, Kenya
Teresia Kiragu, Dr. Doyne Kageni Mugambi, Prof. Theresia Kinai – August 2022- Page No.: 532-546
A significant number of students in public day secondary schools in Kiambu County have been performing below average in national examinations. Despite the research efforts and the measures that have been put in place to address this issue, significant improvement has not been realized. The aim of this study was to investigate learning goal orientations as correlates of reading comprehension performance among secondary school students in Kiambu County. The specific objectives of this study were; to examine the relationship between learning goal orientations and reading comprehension performance, to establish if there are differences in reading comprehension performance of Form Two students with mastery and performance goal orientations and to find out if there are gender differences in goal orientation towards reading comprehension among Form Two students. This study used correlational research design. The target population was the entire 176 public sub county day secondary schools in Kiambu County in the year 2019 with a population of 8142 Form Two students. Public day secondary schools were selected using purposive sampling and the students were selected using proportionate stratified sampling. The sample size was 20 public day schools representing 11% and 860 students representing 10.6%. Goal Orientation Questionnaire and English comprehension test were used to collect data. Data analysis involved the use of Pearson correlation and t-test to test the research hypotheses with the aid of SPSS program version 23. The results showed that there was a significant positive relationship between learning goal orientation and reading comprehension performance, r (856) = .14, p < .05. The mean difference in reading comprehension performance of respondents with mastery and performance goal orientation was not statistically significant, t (825) = – 1.28, p > .05. The results also revealed that the mean difference in reading comprehension performance based on learning goal orientation between the male and female respondents was also not statistically significant t (854) = -1.05, p > .05. Teachers, parents and all other stakeholders should train students on skills required to develop mastery learning goal orientation to enhance reading comprehension performance. The study found that there was a significant difference in reading comprehension performance of students with different learning goal orientations. The study recommends that teachers should use diverse teaching methods that cater in the different learning goal orientations to improve reading comprehension performance. It was established that there was a significant mean difference in reading comprehension performance of students with mastery and performance goal orientation. The study therefore recommends that students should be guided to develop mastery goal orientation to improve reading comprehension performance

Violence against Women in Bangladesh: A Comparative Study on the Factors of Rural-Urban Settings
S.M. Shahidul – August 2022- Page No.: 557-562
Violence against women is a lingering social problem in the world. This paper attempts to explore the nature, causes and dimensions of some important forms of violence against women in Bangladesh. This study was conducted based on secondary data from various sources in Bangladesh. To determine what type of violence is increasing and or decreasing against women currently in Bangladesh, some projections were made using a simple mathematical equation. Results exhibit that women in rural areas experience more in the form of physical, sexual and emotional violence compared to women in settings of Bangladesh. This study also theoretically explores some factors which vary between the rural and urban settings in which women experienced violence differently. Finally, the study suggests some policy recommendations to deal with the issue of violence against women

Diplomatic Shuttles as An Economic Revival Architecture: An Interrogation of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Foreign Policy
Oluwafunto Mercy OSO – August 2022- Page No.: 569-576
States are propelled by certain interests in their external relations, thus shaping their patterns of behavior in the international system. Those interests, also known as national interests, are encoded in their foreign policy. Therefore, as interest varies among states, so also are the approaches adopted by individual state leaders in the pursuit and realization of such interest. This reality has been noted in Nigeria’s foreign policy under President Buhari since 2015. A major feature of his foreign policy is the penchant for foreign trips (diplomatic shuttles), as a tool for promoting bilateral and multilateral bargaining in interstate relations. Against this backdrop, this paper examines the nature, contents, and, viability of Nigeria’s external relations under President Buhari in the context of its many diplomatic shuttles. The paper adopts neo-classical realism as its theoretical framework. Data were collected through secondary sources such as journals, magazines, and reports. The paper observes amongst others that the diplomatic shuttles rekindled international business engagements in Nigeria by attracting an inflow of Foreign Direct Investments, infrastructural development, and, promoting trade and bilateral relations. However, there is more to be done in addressing some of the domestic challenges that government aims to address. This paper, therefore, recommends redirection of the country’s priority towards addressing the critical issue of infrastructure as an internal dynamic that can substantially strengthen the country’s foreign policy architecture and emplace the country in a vantage position for more robust international engagements

Do Women Negotiators Obtain More Equitable Results?
Nana Amma Adjovu, Laurent Cleenewerck De Kiev – August 2022- Page No.: 577-581
This paper addresses gender balance in international negotiations and how women negotiators get equitable outcomes. The paper employs qualitative data analysis of existing literature on international negotiation and women’s role in reaching equitable outcomes. The findings show that women negotiators in top positions have produced equitable outcomes compared to their male counterparts, albeit some have failed to obtain equitable outcomes at the international level. The paper discusses factors that impact successful negotiation by women. It concludes by recommending practical ways to help reverse the trend of women’s failure to obtain equitable outcomes during negotiation

Environmental Conservation, Sustainability and Financial Performance of listed Oil and Gas Companies in Nigeria
Oyedokun, Godwin Emmanuel, and Erinoso, Olusayo Mary – August 2022- Page No.: 582-590
Research has shown that many of the Nigerian oil and gas quoted companies frequently pay insufficient attention to the communities in which they operate, which is typically due to the need to continuously improve their profit maximization strategy. This study, therefore, investigated the effect of environmental conservation, sustainability, and financial performance of listed oil and gas companies in Nigeria, spanning from 2011-2020. The study adopted ex-post facto as its research design and the data were gathered from the listed oil and gas companies on the Nigerian Stock Exchange as of 31st December 2020. A sample of 11 listed oil and gas companies was selected out of the 13 listed oil and gas companies on the Nigeria stock exchange. Environmental accounting disclosure was measured by environmental conservation and environmental sustainability and while financial performance was measured by return on asset, return on equity, and profit after tax. Panel data regression was used to analyze the effect of environmental conservation and environmental sustainability on financial performance and the result of the analysis showed that environmental sustainability has a significant effect on the financial performance of listed oil and gas companies in Nigeria with a profitability value of 0.0014 and 0.0440 respectively, which indicates that environmental sustainability is significantly related with the returns on equity and profits after tax and environmental conservation has effects on the financial performance of listed oil and gas companies in Nigeria with probability values that are greater than 5% (prob. Value > 5%), This implies that alternate hypothesis should be accepted while the null hypothesis will be rejected. Therefore, as a result of this finding, the study concluded that oil and gas producing companies should prioritize their environment in order to improve future performance and operational profitability of their operation.

Students’ interest in physics by gender, school type and programme of study
Messiah Abeku Morgan, Godwin Kwame Aboagye (PhD) – August 2022- Page No.: 591-601
Studies in Ghana and globally have reported a dwindling in students’ interest in pursuing higher degrees in physics and physics related programmes. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate students’ interest in physics according to gender, type of school and programme of study. The overarching design employed in this study was the cross-sectional survey design. The population of this study was made up of all Form three students who offered physics as elective in public senior high schools (SHS) in the Eastern region of Ghana. In this survey, a questionnaire-Srudents’ Interest in Physics (SIP), was used to gather information about students’ interest in physics from 415 physics students, comprising of 161 females and 254 males sampled randomly from 14 schools (comprising Boys only, Girls only and Mixed Sex Schools) in the Eastern region of Ghana, about their interest in physics. The sample was taken from different gender, school type (Boys only, Girls only and Mixed) and programmes (General science, Agricultural science and Technical) using a multistage sampling technique. It was found that students’ interest in physics was generally moderate. Male students were found to be more interested in physics than female students. Similarly, Technical students were more interested in physics than General Science students whereas students from Boys’ only schools were found to have higher interest in physics than students from mixed and Girls schools

The effects of supply chain resilience on purchasing performance during the Covid-19 period in Zimbabwe: A case of the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development
Dumisani Mawonde, Lethy Simbabure, Lillian Kamvumbi and Peter Ngarize – August 2022- Page No.: 602-606
The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic posed serious challenges on economic activities in many countries’ world over. Precisely, the pandemic ruined the operations of the manufacturing industry and this created severe shortages of supplies of materials and products in both overseas and local markets. The shortage of materials and products became a challenge for procurement functions in public and private sectors. This study therefore aimed to determine the effects of supply chain resilience on purchasing performance in the ministry of finance and economic development during the Covid-19 period. A quantitative approach was used and a sample size of 14 respondents for the questionnaire was selected from a target population of 15 employees working for the Procurement Management Unit in the ministry of finance and economic development. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16 and the Analysis for Moment Structures (AMOS) version 22 programs were used to analyse quantitative data. The findings of the study show that supply chain resilience strategies have a significant positive effect on delivery time and insignificant positive effect on stock availability and purchasing costs. The study concluded that supply chain resilience strategies such as electronic procurement, buyer-supplier partnerships, agility and local sourcing have both positive significant and positive insignificant effect in enhancing purchasing performance in the ministry of finance and economic development in Zimbabwe during the Covid-19 period. Therefore, it is recommended that the Procurement Management Unit in the ministry of finance and economic development must implement the supply chain resilience strategies in order to enhance purchasing performance during the Covid-19 period

The impact of tax exemptions granted to CSO’s on revenue mobilization targets: The case of CSOs in Accra-Ghana
Ephraim Armstrong Awinbugri (Ph.D.), Rev. Fr. Dr. Mark Owusu – August 2022- Page No.: 607-614
Presently, there are plethora of controversies as regards whether Civil Society Organizations (CSO’s) should be taxed in Ghana. Against this backdrop, the study examined the impact of tax exemptions to CSO’s on revenue mobilization targets in Ghana using descriptive statistics, exploratory and cross sectional surveys
Quantitative research embodying primary data in the form of questionnaires were administered to 240 respondents from selected CSO’s in Ghana from a population of 350. Non probability sampling framework in the form of simple random sampling was used in the selection of the research participants. Data was analyzed using the Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS, Version26).
The findings show that 96% of respondents strongly agreed that there was a symbiotic relationship between tax exemptions to CSOs by government since CSOs help to attract investors into the economy through advocacy for transparent and accountable government structures, 88% response rate strongly disagreed that tax exemptions to CSOs should be broadened beyond just corporate taxes as currently entails in section 97 of the Income Tax Act 2015 (Act 896), 100% of the respondents strongly agreed that business incomes of CSOs should be subject to tax cognizance with section 97 of the Income Tax Act 2015 (Act 896) which stipulates that any other income from business earned by a CSO must be subject to tax, while 81% of the respondents disagreed that tax exemptions to CSOs negatively affected revenue mobilization.
Based on the findings, the study recommended that the current tax exemption to CSOs which covers only corporate taxes should be maintained since it has no negative impact on revenue mobilization and to help build a more resilient civil society organization and concludes that tax exemptions to CSOs do not adversely affect revenue mobilization

Carpet Crossing in Cameroon Political Landscape (1953-2020): Reasons and Impact
James Takor Tabe and John Enow Tabe – August 2022- Page No.: 615-623
The paper examines causes of carpet crossing and its impact on the political growth of politicians in Cameroon. It argues that the tendency of carpet crossing in Cameroon is mostly the manipulation of grass root militants by top leaders of political parties, as well as the political imagination of militants with high aspirations. Therefore, many were carried away either by empty promises of political leaders from other parties or due to their own selfish political interests. The carpet crossing was first common in the former British Southern Cameroons which later spread to the whole country after reintroduction of multiparty politics in 1990. The advent of democracy and multi-party politics in Cameroon made overzealous politicians to abuse their political rights. This has been very evident in the political space because no limit of the number of political parties was shrined in the country’s constitution. Since over 253 political parties existed, they were excited either to move from one political party to another or even to create theirs. This phenomenon caused most of them to remain “baby politicians” for a long time because they never bothered about their political career. In the face this, the political landscape of Cameroon was negatively affected. Our findings reveal three central issues about carpet crossing in Cameroon. That carpet crossing occurred due to lack of sincere political will among politicians, weak democratic institutions and the absence of a strong political competition The paper concludes that if Cameroonian politicians were faithful and the electoral system in Cameroon is improved upon, the rate of carpet crossing would reduce tremendously

An Investigation of The Levels of Gender Based Violence During the Covid-19 Pandemic Period’: A Case Study of Waluka Compound of Ndola District
Dr. Liambela Muyunda Leakey, Mwenya Francis Ngosa – August 2022- Page No.: 624-633
Gender based violence (GBV) remains a global health issue that cuts across boundaries of economic wealth, culture, age, religion as well as sexual orientation. GBV threatens sustainable development; economic growth and peace as victims’ self-esteem get eroded leading to fear and isolation (WHO, 2013).
Gender Based Violence against women has of late become common as statistical records consistently increase across the globe and COVID 19 acting as a shadow for GBV. Violence against women tends to increase during emergency events and disease outbreaks, thus the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on violence fit into a larger pattern (UN, 2020). Studies have shown that during the 2014 Ebola outbreak, parts of Sierra Leone saw the teenage pregnancy rate increase by 65 per cent, likely attributed to increased rapes during the epidemic caused by a number of factors that contribute to the increase in violence women experience during pandemics (Foreign Policy, 2016). The UN, (2020), identified avenues contributing to more violence and less support during the Covid-19 pandemic which includes increased exposure to perpetrators due to lockdown orders and care responsibilities, triggering stressful environments for perpetrators and reduced support services. As of late July 2020, over 260,000 people had been cited for violating the strict quarantine measures in place in the Philippines and 76,000 had been arrested (Washington Post, 2020). According to the World Bank, (2019), 35% of women globally suffer either sexual and or/ physical violence, with estimates being 7% women being in the experience of sexual assault while 38% of murders of women are committed by intimate partners. Approximately 200 million women have experienced female genital mutilation/cutting (Rowley and Anderson, 2016). Thus assessing whether lockdown or restrictions in movements contributed to GBV during COVID-19 Pandemic was of interest as well as assessing whether there is an association between levels of knowledge and GBV cases during Covid-19 Pandemic.

Effect of Organisation Structure on Performance of County Governments Development Projects in Kenya: A Case of Kiambu County Government
Ngugi Lucy Wanjiru, Dr. Kimani Gichuhi, Dr. Wanjiru Nderitu – August 2022- Page No.: 634-640
County governments use projects to implement their development agenda. Most of these projects are faced with high failure rates leading to waste of millions of shillings. Many of the projects undertaken suffer from cost and time overruns and do not meet customer-specific goals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of organisation structure on performance of development projects by county governments specifically focusing on Kiambu County, Kenya. Explanatory research design was employed. The research site was located at Kiambu county government offices in Kiambu town. The target population was thirty-six (36) projects implemented by the department of Roads Transport Public Works & Utilities while the study respondents included sixty (60) staff involved in implementing and managing the projects in the department. The study used descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviations and the simple linear regression model to analyse quantitative data. Content analysis was be used to analyse qualitative data. The study findings showed that organisation structure had significant and positive effect on performance of the development projects. The study recommended that the county government should ensure that there is a right structure in place to support project staff work flow and the project tasks assignment should be aligned to employees’ abilities and interests. The structure should empower the project team to make timely decisions and enable them to complete project activities on time. Further the organisation structure should foster effective execution of strategic decisions related to projects.

The Effects of Work-from-Home Policies on the Morale of Business Process Outsourcing Employees
Luan Joe Carlo Barilli, Apple Tricia Cablao, King Ferdinand Delfin, Michelle Anne Sarol, Sheryl Morales – August 2022- Page No.: 641-646
Due to the COVID-19, remote and hybrid working adaptation has become a phenomenon in the Philippines. It became more prevalent during the pandemic, forcing a new work system adaptation. Offering flexibility as the main solution for distance and health safety, most employees were sent to work from home. Their morale is affected by several issues, including their environment, lack of communication and engagement, and work-life balance. This further includes the struggles experienced from equipment ownership and network issues that effect the performance and productivity of employees.
The BPO industry is characterized by high demand and frequent changes, it depends on the needs, current state of the community, or new company policies that may be implemented. This study attempts to determine how remote working in Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) organizations affects corporate management and employees in the long run when it comes to performance, productivity, overall health, balance, and the obstacles and elements that can impact their overall morale. This study also aims to provide a different perspective about company-related work systems, highlighting various changes in handling employees and accomplishing work in the new century

Social Networks Influencing Effective Utilization of YEDF in Isiolo County, Kenya
Joram Kiarie Njuguna, Dr. Anne Sande (Ph.D.), Dr. Gilbert Miriti (Ph.D.) – August 2022- Page No.: 679-684
The Youth Enterprise Development Fund (YEDF) was founded in the year 2006 with the aim of enhancing the wellbeing of youth in Kenya. Although Isiolo County is among the counties with the highest targeted number of youth beneficiaries (78,526), there is evidence of low levels of economic empowerment among them. The purpose of this study was to assess the social networks influencing effective utilization of YEDF in Isiolo County, Kenya. The study integrated correlational research and descriptive survey designs. The total study population was 9,602 people. This included a target population of 1,919 youths who have benefitted from YEDF in Isiolo County as at December 2021. These youths were obtained from the 288 youth groups whose members have benefited from YEDF. The population also included 7 YEDF officials in Isiolo County and 7,676 community members. A sample of 384 respondents consisting of 277 youths who have benefitted from YEDF in Isiolo County and 100 community members was obtained proportionately and purposively respectively. All the 7 YEDF officials in Isiolo County participated in the study. Data collection was done using questionnaires and interview schedule. The questionnaires were self-administered. An interview schedule for the key informants was filled by the respondents. Research assistants were hired to assist in the process. The respondents were given time to respond to the questionnaires and those who were not able to read or write were be assisted. Piloting was carried out in Tharaka Nithi County to establish reliability of data collection instruments. Reliability of the instruments was estimated using Cronbach Alpha Coefficients. Descriptive statistics used included frequencies and percentages. The inferential statistics used in the study was linear regression. It was evident, from the study that social networks had significant effects on effective utilization of youth enterprise development fund. The study recommended the necessity of integrating YEDF entrepreneurship trainings with IT through inclusion of digital financial transaction technology experts in the training programmes such as M-pesa and the banking sector. Research findings and recommendations could be used to guide further research as well as policy makers in relation to YEDF

Investigating Why Senior High School Candidates Perform Poorly in the Essay Writing component of The English Language Paper at the WASSCE, Ghana
Samuel Badu, Daniel Yaw Acheampong, Frank Yeboah-Obeng – August 2022- Page No.: 685-703
This quantitative survey case study of some selected schools in two school districts in Ghana investigates why many WASSCE candidates do not do well in composition writing, an aspect of the English language paper, at the senior high school level. The study found that insufficient time allocated to the teaching of composition, the inability of teachers to mark students’ exercises and guide them through the necessary corrections and interventions, the trend of large classes’ size were key factors for the poor performance of students at the WASSCE. The studies further found the overburdened extra- curricular activities which made it difficult for teachers to complete their schemes of work, as part of the problem. Additionally, high level of apathy among students in reading books and writing of compositions, coupled with inadequate reading materials were the other factors. The conclusion drawn from this study is that when teaching and learning processes are given strong commitments by teachers and students, and if there is application of appropriate methodology and sufficient time allocation to this subject area, the performance of students in English composition writing will be enhanced

Establishment of Calibration Baseline
Olabode Bamidele FATEYE and Kehinde Olusegun ISHOLA – August 2022- Page No.: 704-708
I. INTRODUCTION
Whenever a new tape is purchased or when a tape has been in use for a long period of time, there is the need to calibrate the tape against a standard usually referred to as baseline. If a tape cuts on the field and it is repaired, the tape would be required to be tested against a baseline as well to know the extent to which it has increased or decrease in nominal length.
Baseline is the starting line or position for the purpose of measurement and it also serves as reference line for conducting surveys. The formation of baseline will aid in the correction and standardization of direct distance measuring instrument such as tapes and chains. The tapes once calibrated on baseline determine its errors.
The establishment of baseline is an important part of the surveying operations which helps in ensuring correct distance measurements in traversing, triangulation and setting out amongst others. According to Zakari and Aliyu (2014), ‘The measurement of baseline was in the past century carried out by instruments such as tapes, chains bands before the advent of Electromagnetic Distance Measuring Instrument (EDM)’. Tomlinson et al (2014) observed that to assure that the measuring accuracy as well as operating precision capabilities of an instrument has not significantly deteriorated, a known distance of high accuracy or, preferably, a sequence of distances forming a calibration range or base line is required. Experience shows that a base line consisting of four in-line monuments spaced at specific intervals will meet the needs of users.

Teacher Training vs. Trainer Training in Education
Tomas de Aquino Caluyua Yambi – August 2022- Page No.: 709-715
I. INTRODUCTION
Although people outside the education field may use teacher education and teacher training interchangeably, education theorists distinguish the terms clearly. In the context of teacher preparation, training corresponds to learning real-life classroom skills while education refers to more abstract knowledge about modes of learning and instruction. When referring to the process of preparing future teachers, education specialists find “teacher education” more consistent with the idea of developing versatile, reflective practitioners with a wealth of professional knowledge. In education theory, training refers to acquisition of concrete skills for meeting specific goals in a real-life, applied situation. This often includes “closed skills,” like typing or juggling, that have absolute ceiling on mastery or where the only way to improve the skill is to do it faster or while multi-tasking.
For teachers, training might include how to maintain a grade book or calculate reading fluency scores. In contrast, education focuses on more abstract knowledge and open-ended concepts, like the ability to design factory equipment or write poetry. Open skills rely on abstract understanding and have no absolute ceiling on performance. Examples from teaching include how to design an original lesson plan or promote critical thinking. This distinction is subtle since abstract concepts can empower students to meet real-life goals, similar to training. Furthermore, training in concrete skills can foster understanding of an underlying concept, similar to education. Some theorists distinguish education from training based on intention. Education aims to improve the mind while training aims to improve performance. In many cases, education and training go hand in hand. This paper, attempts to critically analyse the similarities and differences of teacher training and trainer training in various domains. To attain this objective, the paper is divided in to five main parts. Firstly it helps the reader understand some key concepts in the field, namely, student; teacher; teacher trainer; trainer trainer/educator. Then a distinction between teacher training and trainer training settings in various domains is presented. After that some approaches to training that can be used in both contexts will be discussed. Next, two distinctive ways of reflection used in each of the contexts are highlighted and finally, some ways each context conceive knowledge, and how they apply in practice.

Financial managers’ perceptions on firm characteristics and internet financial reporting disclosure among selected financial institutions in Rwanda.
Védaste Habamenshi, & Dr. Thomas K Tarus – August 2022- Page No.: 716-724
Internet financial reporting has been the major platform of information dissemination among the corporations as it offers the potential for companies to reach a wider range of users without time limits, or boundaries at more cost-effective. However, the adoption of IFR disclosure among African countries is still low; and it has not received much attention from researchers in the context of Rwanda. Therefore, this research assessed the relationship between firm characteristics and internet financial reporting disclosure among financial institutions in Rwanda. Three theories guided this research namely: diffusion of innovation theory, agency theory and signalling theory guided the research. As methodology applied, the research design was a mix of descriptive, empirical and correlational research design using qualitative and quantitative approaches. A sample of 115 employees from 23 sampled companies were randomly selected from a total population of 30 insurance and banking sector companies accredited by the National Bank of Rwanda. The data was analysed using IBM SPSS Statistics. As key findings, descriptive statistics indicated that the adoption of IFR disclosure among selected financial institutions in Rwanda is low as the overall rate of IFR disclosure is estimated at 25% where IFR user support index is most developed (36.0%), followed by IFR technology (27.6%). IFR content disclosure is low 26.0% while IFR timeliness is too low 10.4%. The regression results indicated that 51.8% of variance in dependent variable were explained by independent variables. The regression coefficients revealed that firm size was positive and significant to IFR disclosure (β1= 0.267; p= 0.001); profitability of the firm was positive and significant to IFR disclosure (β2= 0.158; p= 0.006); leverage of the firm was positive but not significant to IFR disclosure (β3= 0.042; p= 0.391); liquidity of the firm was positive and significant to IFR disclosure (β4= 0.269; p= 0.002); firm ownership structure was positive but not significant to IFR disclosure (β5= 0.006; p= 0.231). The research conclude that confidence in financial markets is needed by the users of financial reporting, including regulators and investors; such confidence can be obtained by disclosing more information on the internet. The research recommends financial institutions improving the contents of information disclosed, adopting eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) technologies, providing updated information, and developing investor relationship interface. The National Bank of Rwanda as the regulator is recommended to motivate IFR disclosure among financial institutions for contributing to the development of the country by showing their real faces to Rwandan as well as foreign investors.

The influence of father absence on emotional adjustment of adolescent among secondary school learners in Makueni Sub- County, Kenya
Lucy M. Musembi, Dr. Joel Kiambi Muriithi, Dr. Florence W. Githuthu – August 2022- Page No.: 725-733
Adolescents living without father figures are likely to encounter some psycho-social challenges. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the influence of father absence on emotional adjustment of adolescent among secondary school learners in Makueni-Sub County, Kenya. The study adopted quantitative descriptive survey design a total sample of 344 respondents, all form three students sampled through non-random. Data was collected through questionnaires. Analysis for quantitative data was done using descriptive statistics involving means and frequencies, and inferential statistics involving chi-square and Pearson correlation. This process was aided by use of a computer program, Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 28. The study established a correlation between the availability of father or male figure and adolescents’ psychosocial wellbeing. To establish the influence of father absence on emotional adjustment, a regression analysis was conducted, and the findings showed that, and P value was above 0.005 significant level. Therefore, according to the results presented, father-absence did not have significant influence emotional regulation among adolescents. On father absence and social behavior among secondary school learners in Makueni Sub-County, regression analysis findings showed a P value which is less than the 0.005 level of significance. This revealed that the independent variable had an influence on the dependent variable. Thus, father-absence had an influence on social behavior among secondary school learners in Makueni Sub-County, Kenya. The informed conclusions shed light on the complexities of fatherlessness and absent fathers. Multiple stakeholders may benefit from the findings of the study including adolescents, caregivers, psychologists, teachers, policy makers and parents, by knowing the psychological effects of father’s absence on the adolescents’ development hence adapting appropriate strategies to deal with the challenges.

Gender Equality; Lived Experiences of Women in The Media Industry in Tanzania
Samwel. J. Mwananjela – August 2022- Page No.: 734-738
Underrepresentation, inequalities, lack of career advancement, and nonappearance in the decision-making process continue to present obstacles for women in the media industry in Tanzania. This study aimed at exploring and understanding the lived experiences of women in the media industry in Tanzania. This was important given that there is a lack of qualitative research which allows women journalists to recount their situations in their voices and from their perspectives. Methodologically, the study adopted a qualitative approach. Data was collected through in-depth interviews which afforded space for a group of four women journalists to tell stories of their lived experiences particularly on decision making, career development, and news production in the media industry. The study discovers that women journalists in Tanzania are affected by the patriarchal system. This continues to influence gender inequalities and limits women’s opportunities for participation in effective media development/production. In conclusion, this study indicates that a patriarchal system that is well established in society and maintained through institutions such as the academy, the church, and the family lead to gender inequalities in the media industry in Tanzania

Identification of Mutations in GATA2 Gene in Adult Bengali Bangladeshi Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Patients
Yesmin ZA, Nishat L, Masum MM, Sharmin E, Abdullah-Al-Sayeef M – August 2022- Page No.: 739-743
AML is a malignant disease of the bone marrow in which hematopoietic precursors are arrested in an early stage of development due to genetic alterations in normal hematopoietic stem cells. Several genes are identified for the disease and GATA2 gene is one of the important genes among them because mutations of GATA2 gene suppress leukemogenesis. In a country like Bangladesh, genetic services are at an early stage of development or even not yet developed. There is no adequate reporting on GATA2 gene mutations in adult Bengali Bangladeshi AML patients. The aim of the study was to determine the mutations of GATA2 gene in AML patients in the adult Bengali Bangladeshi population. The present study was a cross-sectional type of descriptive study. The study was carried out in the Genetic Research Center (GRC) of the Department of Anatomy, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Bangladesh during the period of January 2018 to December 2018. The study includes 50 adult Bengali Bangladeshi AML patients. Informed written consent was obtained from the participants. For identifying the mutations peripheral venous blood was obtained from each patient and sequencing was done using ABI Sanger Sequencer 3730. Research shows the mean age is 25±14.2 and average age group of adult AML patients of Bengali Bangladeshis is 18-29 years (54%), among them 31 (62%) and 19 (38%) were females and males respectively. GATA2 gene mutations were identified in 1 of the 50 AML patients and shows synonymous, frameshift and missense variant compared with the database of dbSNP. Identification of different variant with this small sample size emphasizes the importance of exploring the genetic makeup of adult Bengali Bangladeshi AML patients to develop a database for proper screening and genetic counseling of the disease.

Diagnostic skills in Lubricating System for Effective Fault Detection in Automobile Engines among Students in Rivers State Tertiary Institutions
OKWELLE, P. Chijioke, Ph.D , AJIE, Prince Maduabuchukwu, & ONYEAJU, Ifeanyichukwu Austine – August 2022- Page No.: 744-748
This study diagnosed skills in lubricating system for effective faults detection in automobile engines among students in Rivers State tertiary institutions. Specifically, the study examined the components of lubricating system, skills needed for faults associated with lubricating system detection and the causes of the faults associated with lubricating system for effective fault detection in automobile engines in Rivers State tertiary institutions. The population of the study was 91 respondents which comprised 27 automobile lecturers and 64 final year students in mechanical technology department. No sample was done as the population was manageable; therefor census technique was adopted. The instrument used for data collection was a self-made survey questionnaire. The instrument was validated by two experts in the department of Vocational and Technology Education in Rivers State University, Port-Harcourt. The reliability of the instrument was established using test re-test, Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The coefficient achieved was .82. Mean was used to answer the research questions, while Standard Deviation was used to ascertain the homogeneity of responses, and z-test was used to test the null hypotheses at .05 significance level. The study found among others that lubricating system could be associated with different faults such as leakages, high oil consumption, abnormal engine noise; oil filters swells and others which could be cause by, over greasing, leaking gaskets, worn cylinder, worn piston. Therefore, it was recommended among others that there should be proper orientation programme for students at automobile workshop so as to intimate students on the causes and skills needed for faults detection on lubricating system, so that students do not fall victim of defaulting the rules of lubrication.

Kohlberg Six Stages of Moral Reasoning and Attitude towards the Same Gender Relationships among University Students in Nairobi County, Kenya
Wambua Pius Muasa (PhD) – August 2022- Page No.: 749-754
The objective this study was to investigate the relationship between Kohlberg six stages of moral reasoning and attitude towards the same gender relationships among University students in Nairobi County, Kenya. The study employed a correlational research design using a simple random sampling technique. The study adopted a sample size of 294 number of participants. The data was collected using Moral Judgment Test (MJT) and Attitude towards Homosexuality Scale. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. Result showed out that instrumental attitude towards homosexuality is positively and significantly influenced by instrumental relativism moral reasoning (β=0.514, p<.05). This type of moral reasoning also impacted positive attitudes towards lesbians (β=0.301, p<.05). Engaging law and order reasoning impacts significantly negative attitudes towards homosexuality (β=-0.253, p<.05). The study concluded that there was insignificant relationship between the Kohlberg six stages of moral reasoning and attitude towards the same gender relationships. The study recommends more studies with different populations on the relationship between Kohlberg six stages of moral reasoning and attitude towards the same gender relationships.

Asynchronous learning is used by a variety of academic student groups that are unable to enter formal education programs due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of this, many university students experience common mental health problems like depression, anxiety, and stress. If these problems are serious enough, students may experience impairment, which prevents them from realizing their full academic and professional potential. Thus, the study aims to assess the students’ attitudes toward asynchronous learning and their mental health status and identify the relationships and factors affecting their learning attitudes. A cross-sectional research design examined 106 math majors at Eastern Visayas State University, Ormoc City Campus, Ormoc City, Philippines. The TeLRA and DASS-21 scales were the instruments used in the study. The researchers carried out the study using an online survey utilizing Google Forms. The descriptive statistics use frequency counts, percentages, and the chi-square test and regression analysis for inferential statistics. Analysis of the data used SPSS version 23. The results found that most students (84.9%) had positive attitudes toward asynchronous learning, and the most prevalent were moderate levels of depression (39.6%) and anxiety (28.3%), and mild levels of stress (22.6%). Results also found that attitudes toward asynchronous learning and mental health status were not significantly related. Additionally, age, gender, year level, and mental health status were not predictors of students’ attitudes toward asynchronous learning. These results necessitate the development of a health program based in schools.

Financial Sector Liberalisation and Capital Market Growth in Nigeria
Adeyefa, Felix Ademola – August 2022- Page No.: 761-770
The study examined financial sector liberalisation and capital market growth in Nigeria from 1985 to 2021 with secondary data sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin. The two formulated hypotheses were tested with the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) and error correction mechanism. Findings from the study revealed that broad money supply and credit to private sector have a positive and significant effect on both market capitalisation and volume of transactions. Also, cash reserve requirements and exchange rate have negative and significant effects on both market capitalisation and volume of transactions. Interest rates have significant and positive effects on market capitalisation and significant negative effects on volume of stock transactions. Foreign direct investment has a positive and insignificant effect on market capitalisation and volume of transactions. The study recommended that the monetary authority in Nigeria must continually improve the monetary policy to control the money supply in the economy and reduce the interest rate to enhance capital market expansion. Also, the Nigerian government should encourage more exports to create a positive relationship between exchange rate and stock prices. This will make local currency depreciate and local firms will become more competitive, leading to an increase in stock prices.

Restructuring of Nigerian Federation: Insights on Political, Security and Education
Asmau Isyaku Dutse, and Ismail Bello – August 2022- Page No.: 771-775
The study examined restructuring of Nigerian federation taking cognize of the insights on political, security and education. Restructuring is posited as the reconfiguration of the country and devolution of powers, resources to the constituent units. This study discusses restructuring of Nigeria’s federation with insights on political, security and educational restructuring as dimensions for true federalism. The methodology used include secondary data sources that was analysed using content analysis. The findings shows that there is need for re-configuration of the country and devolution of powers to the constituent units in order to improve the political, security and education fortunes of Nigeria. The paper submits that too much powers are concentrated in the federal government, while the state government has usurps that power of local government which is supposed to cater for the grassroots. The study recommends among others that the constitutions should be amended to make way for the devolution of powers, empowerment of the state and local government.

Modupeola Atoke ADEOLU-AKANDE – August 2022- Page No.: 776-784
This study evaluates the political trust in the Nigerian government during the COVID-19 pandemic. Theoretically, the study is hinged on the Socio-Cognitive Trust Model which posits trust as a mental state (cognitive beliefs and goals); determined by the reciprocal deterministic relationship between an individual, the environment, and behaviour. The study acquired data from previous scholarly publications. Political trust has been identified as a key determinant in citizens’ relationship with their government; their acceptance of regulations, measures, and policies; and their compliance with rules. In Nigeria, during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was low compliance with the restrictive lockdown measures, due mostly to lack of information, distrust, and discontentment with the Nigerian government policies. There were reports of looting of palliative materials, food, drugs and clothing, during the pandemic. Also, there was resistance to COVID-19 testing and vaccination, disbelief in its existence and civil protests. All these are indications of the chronic dearth of political trust in Nigeria. Though the Nigerian government seem to have overcome the menace of the pandemic and is at the recovery stage, it is still important to continue building citizens’ trust, for the success of any government. The study recommends intensification of the call for political restructuring and economic divergence as the means of strengthening the overall capacity of the Nigerian government in handling emergencies. The study also noted that improving political and social trust would play a pivotal role in determining how citizens accept and comply with governmental policies and regulations.
