The Phenomenon of Strong Rootted Negative Sentiments Against Chinese Ethnics in Indonesia
Yuswari O. Djemat, Prasetia Anugrah Pratama – October 2022- Page No.: 12-20
Despite the fact that ethnic Chinese have lived in Indonesia for a very long period, particularly from the time of Dutch colonialism there, they have continued to experience discrimination and bad attitudes in their daily lives. This study aims to describe the phenomenon of prejudice against people of Chinese ancestry in Indonesia, explain the traits of Indonesians that contribute to prejudice against people of Chinese ancestry, and identify the social and political effects of the strong prejudice against people of Chinese ancestry that exists in Indonesia. The findings of this study, which used a constructivist methodology from international relations and qualitative research techniques, suggest that the failure of Indonesians to forge a strong collective identity is what leads to the escalation of prejudice against ethnic Chinese in that country. The outcome also demonstrates that the gradual treatment of Chinese ethnic minorities as equals after Indonesian independence highlights the urgent necessity for the government to act as an agent capable of altering social structures and fostering a sense of unity

Christian Response to Terrorism in Kenya: A Case of The Gospel of Luke 6:27-31
Rev. Dr. Manya Stephen – October 2022- Page No.: 21-25
Terrorism is an Anxiety inspiring Method of repeated violent action, employed by (Semi-) clandestine individual, group, or state actors, for idiosyncratic, criminal or political reasons, whereby – in contrast to assassination – the direct targets of violence are not the main targets. The immediate human victims of violence are generally chosen randomly (targets of opportunity) or selectively (representative or symbolic targets) from a target population, and serve as message generators. This paper explores if non-resistance, Christian pacifism or non-violence on the part of the victim should be or is a viable option in the face of terror. The immediate human victims of violence are generally chosen at random and include Christians who are ostensibly guided by the teachings found in the biblical Sermon on the Plain. In this teaching found in the Gospel of Luke (6:27-31), as part of his command to “love your enemies”’ Jesus Says:… but I say to unto you which hear, love your enemies, do good to them who hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them who despitefully use you. And unto him that smitteth thee on one cheek offer also the other…The Gospel of Mathew 5: 39 is more descriptive of the expected Christian response…but I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek turn to them the other check also… To respond to the challenges highlighted by the listed options, the paper has largely applied the use of desk research methodologies comprising of the examination of available literature on terrorism as well as existing, potential Christian responses to help situate this current study within the context of existing evidence. It is hoped that the discussions generated by this paper will benefit practitioners in the areas of governance, public policy formulators and comparative religion

An Analysis of Early Childhood Education (ECE) Lecturers’ Competencies and Skills for Inclusion in 2 Selected Teachers’ Colleges of Zimbabwe; A Contextual Approach
Dr Sikhangezile Nkomo – October 2022- Page No.: 26-33
The concept ‘Education for All ‘calls for all children to be afforded the chance to go to school, with an emphasis on ECD as their main driver of diverse elementary and formative learning experiences in the classroom. This inclusion movement concept was passed at the Jomtien Conference in 1990 and reaffirmed by the Salamanca statement in 1994.The Salamanca statement. Many governments, including Zimbabwe have developed interest in embracing inclusive education. There has not been emboldened research to establish the extent to which transformation in lecturer’s competencies and skills been matched by a paradigm shift in their preparation of ECD teachers for diverse ECD settings. This qualitative case-study therefore was conducted in order to establish the knowledge, skills and competencies that ECD lecturers possess in the context of inclusivity in education. The study was informed by both the transformative paradigm and Mezirow’s transformative learning theory. Ten (n=10) lecturers who train pre-service ECD teachers were purposively sampled from two teacher education colleges to participate in this study. Data was collected through interviews and analysis of documents and narratively presented to address the main research questions that were used for the study. Major findings of the study were that ECD lecturers were not competent enough to adequately prepare their products for inclusive teaching and were experiencing challenges during the training process. Thus, both andragogic and pedagogic issues of inclusivity and ICT skills were a major cause for concern. The study findings showed that the lecturers have a limited understanding of the concept of inclusion. Furthermore the findings indicated that most lecturers lack competencies, skills and confidence in imparting relevant knowledge. Research findings also highlighted that there are still challenges in the execution of the pre-service ECD teacher training hence the trainee teachers are not given quality time, which compromises the quality. Finally the study highlighted a need for a holistic approach encompassing all the relevant stakeholders. Hence the study recommended that inclusion should form the core of the teacher education curriculum with specialist professionals roped in to assist teach content/bodies of knowledge and inform practice on inclusive education. Serving ECD lecturers should be upgraded and equipped with inclusive teaching strategies through workshops and in-service training. Inclusive education practices should be practiced in colleges for transformation of both lecturers

Compatibility of Problem Solving Theory and Activity Theory
Evaristo Kangwa – October 2022- Page No.: 34-41
The paper reviews problem solving theory and activity theory in order to determine whether or not the two theories are compatibility. Both problem solving and activity theory have been extensively studies since their inception over 8 decades ago. While problem solving has been studied as a cognitive domain as well as a pedagogical domain, activity theory has been extensively studied as a theoretical framework to understand the relationship between subject and object in relation with other players within the system. Vygotsky observed that through mediating artifacts, humans have moved from lower to higher cognitive function. In this sense, activity theory may be used as a framework for studying the cognitive development of the subject. Having compared the two theories, a number of relations are identified that seem to exist on the conceptual level between the two theories. Among the relations identified include the following: Both problem-solving theory and activity theory seem to agree with the notion of solver or subject first identifying the existence of a problem or a need that requires changing or transforming; Both theories seem to suggest that tools or instruments, either physical or psychological, shape the activity and that the tools are used to accomplish the activity. It is therefore, important for future research to focus on the empirical evidence to confirm the compatibility of problem solving theory and activity theory.

Effect of Psychological Counselling on Self-Acceptance Among Persons Living with HIV and AIDS in Mathare Constituency, Nairobi County
Mary Wambui Mwaura, Dr. Henry Tucholski, Dr. Cosmas Kagwe, Dr. Rose Gichuki – October 2022- Page No.: 42-49
The study sought to establish the effect of psychological counselling on self-acceptance among persons living with HIV & AIDs in Mathare constituency, Nairobi County. A descriptive research design was used in this study. Approximately, 16,600 people living with HIV & AIDS were targeted in Mathare Constituency, Nairobi County. This study sampled 278 PLWH. The sample size was determined using simple random sampling and stratified sampling techniques. A response rate of 91.4% was recorded in the study. Lux and Petosa’s attitude scale, Genberg’s discrimination scale, and Dunn’s self-acceptance scale were the instruments of measure used to collect data. SPSS was used to analyse quantitative data. It was found that PLWH in the Mathare constituency had the same right to quality care as any other patient 24.9% (n=63). Additionally, 20.0% or 51 respondents reported that advice given during counselling helped them accept themselves. Also, all three demographic factors (age, gender, and education level) are significant predictors of self-acceptance among people living with HIV/AIDS. Persons living with HIV & AIDS must find strategies to maintain a positive attitude in order to live a healthy life by embracing their current circumstance and learning to live with it. To improve self-acceptance, the approach and drivers for positivity should be developed so that all people living with HIV & AIDS embrace a positive attitude toward their circumstance. The study finds that counsellors who work with people living with HIV & AIDS in Nairobi County’s Mathare constituency should engage in psychological counselling intervention methods.

Filter Bubble and Fake News: Facebook and Journalist Ethics
Fatima Saeed – October 2022- Page No.: 59-65
In 2016, the result of the American presidential election and Referendum in the United Kingdom shocked journalists all around the world. Social networking sites are now blamed for the construction of the filter bubble. The filter bubble is considered an intellectual state of isolation in which algorithms are making a circumstance where consumers progressively are getting data that reinforce their prior beliefs and less exposure to contradictory viewpoints. Filter bubbles play a key role in the handling, distribution, and dissemination of fake news stories. The study’s objective is to find out how a filter bubble increases susceptibility to believing and sharing fake news and whether applying the filter bubble violates journalistic ethics. Peircean pragmatic perspective is used as a methodological approach to concentrate on concepts such as representation, reality, and fixation of belief (priori method) because this method is relatively close to what happens with the filter bubble on social networking sites. The study results reflect the thing that the platforms of Social media i.e. Facebook, and Google search engines are blamed for the false news controversy, but still, the users’ belief activity and their online presence perform a critical role in driving facebook’s algorithms in this problem.

The Convergence of Values: Exploring the Values System among the Taal Families of San Jose City, Nueva Ecija Philippines
Jose Epimaco R. Arcega – October 2022- Page No.: 74-78
This study focused on exploring the values system among the taal families of San Jose City, Nueva Ecija Philippines. Taal families refer to the families who have been considered “natives” in the community. The study was under the qualitative case study approach and used a semi-structured in-depth interview to gather. The study used purposive sampling and gathered data from the nine (9) heads of the family of the selected taal families based on the criteria identified in this study. Three themes related to the convergence of values emerged. These include the evolution of the values system, sharing of cultures together with the community, and creating a lasting family legacy: The persistence of traditional values system in this study. This implies that instead of creating and adopting a new values system that will fit our environment today, respondents simply adopted the way of practicing traditional values in the kind of society we have today by practicing it in a new way. Major findings reveal that the values system did not change, it just evolved only to respond to the modernity of our society today so that their children will be able to adopt it easily in which the traditional way of practicing family values just converged to the kind of society we have today.

A Smart City- Tensions Between Space of Flows and Space of Places
Pethigamage Perera – October 2022- Page No.: 79-86
Contemporary urbanized populations are linked in many ways, both within their communities and across national and international borders. This research examines concepts associated with the notion of the informational city and is concerned with the tensions between knowledge flows in traditional placed-based cities and globalised flows of information.
The organisations in the city use of a variety of mechanisms for production, consumption. communicating with other organisations and investing money across the globe. Some theorists argue that the city is a place with clear boundary with specific elements for information and knowledge exchange, such as universities, libraries, parks, cafés, etc, others argue that a contemporary city is made up of networks and their flows and scattered beyond its physical boundary. Some see the need for specific places where information is exchanged informally and others focus on the impact of globalization and the ability to attract expertise to local hubs and make it available in other locations.
These two concepts are investigated by taking the essential characteristics of a range of theorists, Castells and Space of flows, Sassen and the Globalised City, Ergazakis and Knowledge Based urban design (KBUD) and Fisher and Information Grounds – to understand what really the organizations in the context of the informational cities. I hope to argue that an examination of a city and its development must facilitates the co-existence of two contradictory concepts, the space of flows (Networks) and the space of places (information grounds)

The Luo-Nandi Ethnic Conflicts Peacebuilding: A Study of Circumstantial Rationale to Its Persistent Nature and Implications for Building Peace in Kenya
Fredrick O. Amolo, Philomena N. Mwaura, Michael T. Katola – October 2022- Page No.: 87-94
In Kenya, The Luo and Nandi ethnic communities have had increased ethnic conflicts for over a decade. Ethnic tensions and conflicts have prevailed in the bordering section of the Muhoroni and Tinderet sub-counties. These ethnic conflicts have negatively affected the socio-cultural and political-economic well-being of the communities in conflict. The causes of such conflicts are varied in societies. The study investigated the causes of ethnic conflict between the Luo and the Nandi communities. The study was qualitative research designed to explore the reasons behind the persistent nature of the Luo and Nandi ethnic conflicts. The data was collected from community elders, community members, civil society, and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). The study employed several instruments, including surveys, an oral interview guide and a focused group discussions guide. The data from the questionnaires were coded and analysed using the Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21. The study finds that there are social, religio-cultural, political, and economic determinants in hostile Luo-Nandi relations. The study recommends that (1) The amity actors need to involve a multi-faceted method in the ethnic conflict to deal with ethnic conflict causative dimensions; (2) Peacebuilding efforts must take societal issues seriously to prevent ethnic conflicts between Luo and Nandi communities; (3) peace actors must work on social rebuilding and conduct transformation; and (4) the stakeholders in building peace must address economic matters along the border of the Luo and Nandi people.

Learner-Centred Approach: Its influence on Quality of Learning in Public Secondary Schools in Hanang District
Daudi Qambaday, and Prospery M. Mwila – October 2022- Page No.: 99-115
Learner Centred Pedagogical Approaches have become a global practice in the teaching and learning process. The approaches have been credited with the potential to impart learners with different skills and prepare them to work effectively in this ever-changing world. This study investigated the role of learner centred pedagogical approaches on quality learning in public secondary schools in Hanang District. The Social Constructivism Theory by Vygotsky (1968) provided a theoretical lens to this study. The Mixed research approach and a Concurrent embedded research design were used in this study. Data was obtained from a sample of 174 participants, including students, teachers, Heads of schools, Ward Education officers, and District Education officer. Questionnaires and interview guide were used to collect primary data. Quantitative data were analysed through descriptive statistic with the help of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 21 while Qualitative data were analysed thematically. The study revealed that learner centred approach contributes to quality learning through student’s involvement in complex learning situations in the classroom and ensuring active learning in the classroom. The study also reported that learner centred approach attracts learner’s interest and thus enhances good academic achievement. On the basis of the findings, it was concluded that though learner centred approach had contributed in some way to improving quality of learning it had failed to influence –effectively, the quality of learning because of some challenges. Among challenges identified includes; lack of enough knowledge on implementation of learner centred, teacher’s resistance to change, overcrowded classroom, teacher’s low morale, poor teaching and learning material. Therefore, the study recommended that school administrators should work tirelessly resolve these challenges- for better implementation of learner centred approach in secondary schools in the country.

Managerial Principles: Its role in the Utilization of Capitation Grants in Public Secondary Schools in Muleba District, Tanzania
Agripina Fidelis, and Prospery M. Mwila – October 2022- Page No.: 116-123
The decision to increase the quality and quantity of education, including in Tanzania, is crucial since education is essential for the development of human capital. In light of this, the government of the Republic of Tanzania introduced strategies to address the basic education supply and demands. Among the strategies is the Capitation grants’ policy. The aim of this study was to describe the role played by managerial principles in the utilization of capitation grants in public secondary schools in Muleba District, Tanzania. The study was guided by the Mintzberg’s managerial theory by Henry Mintzberg (1973). The study adopted convergent parallel research design under mixed research approach. The sample size of 85 was generated from a total population of 388 target groups. The quantitative data was collected through 70 questionnaires and analysed through descriptive statistic with the help of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 21 and presented in table, frequency and percent. The qualitative data was collected through 9 interviews and analysed thematically and presented in narratives and quotations from the respondents. A synthesis of the findings revealed that managerial principles play different roles including prioritizing financial allocation; effective management of the financial resources available as well as ensuring effective utilization of the capitation grants. The study concluded that managerial principles have a role to play in the utilization of capitation grants provided in public secondary schools. Therefore, the study recommended that school administrators and managers should equip school heads with skills on the effective use of managerial principles in the utilization of capitation grants provided in schools in order to ensure effective management and utilization of capitation grants- for overall institutional efficiency and effectiveness.

School Quality Assurance Guidelines: Its Implementation and Challenges in Public Secondary Schools in Temeke Municipality, Tanzania
Gaudencia Medard, and Prospery M. Mwila – October 2022- Page No.: 124-133
Quality assurance guidelines are indispensable elements in quality effectiveness and maintenance. The guidelines put more consideration on strengthening and promoting the quality of the teaching and learning process. This study aimed at assessing the implementation of quality assurance guidelines in promoting the quality of teaching and learning. It was guided by two research objectives; to describe the status of school quality assurance implementation, and to identify the challenges encountered by the internal and external School Quality Assurance Officers during quality assurance exercises. The study adopted a Mixed Methods research approach and a descriptive survey design. The targeted sample was drawn from Temeke Municipality and included six public secondary schools, 60 students, 34 teachers, 6 head of schools, 3 ward district officers, 1 district education officer and 6 district quality assurance officers. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and cross-tabulation. A synthesis of the findings revealed that public secondary schools in Temeke Municipality were exposed to quality assurance exercises by the school quality assurance officers. The findings also revealed that quality assurance reports were only shared to Education officer, Head of school, and teachers. Other stakeholders like students and ward education officers were not given the reports. On the basis of the findings, it was concluded that quality assurance guidelines are fairly implemented in secondary schools in Temeke Municipality. However, challenges such as shortage of funds, shortage of staff, lack of working facilities, overcrowded classrooms, and lack of transport and materials for SQAOs made it impossible for the guidelines to be effectively implemented and thus impeded the acquisition of educational competencies among students in public secondary schools in Temeke Municipality, Tanzania. Therefore, educational stakeholders should ensure adequate provision of resources to schools to facilitate the effective implementation of the quality assurance guidelines as stipulated in the NSQAF, (2017).

Empowerment Skills for Capacity Building for Commercial Tricyclists (Keke Riders) in Nigeria: An Aggrandizer for Peaceful Co-existence and an Annihilator for Conflict and Societal Turbulence.
Barr. (Mrs.) Mary Lawrence Effiong Ph.D., Rev. Fr. Anwanga-Abasi Peter Essien M.Sc. – October 2022- Page No.: 144-148
This research focuses on capacity building skills for tricyclists, especially the commercial ones in Nigeria. The impetus for this quest is derived from the researcher’s desire to equip tricyclists for life sustainability, economic development, Contract sincerity as well as spiritual growth through successful business operation due to positive behaviors, spiritual stability and sufficient skills advancement. By the opinion of the researcher, this capacity building empowerment can instigates as well as promotes careful, prudent, rational and conscious decision making while operating their transportation business thereby enhancing safety of life, productive development and positive fulfillment through maximum profitability. For the goal of actualization in commercial tricycle business to be achieved, the researcher decides to contribute by providing proficiency empowerment skills for positive success on what can be seen as a ‘ must know and have’ foundation stone when it comes to tricycle business. Some assumed empowerment skills and objectives have been outlined and discussed. The paper concluded that, empowerment skills were necessary for catalyzing tricylcing business in Nigeria. Though it takes not less than two to tangle in the case of human beings, where there are more than one humane, one can be in a state or stage of confusion and dilemma to the extent of experiencing conflict, depression, terminal sicknesses that can take such a person’s life through either normal death or suicidal death. These types of conditions/ situations can be motivated or encourage by the harsh/turbulent society full of unemployment and poverty. Little wonder Longbap 2019 postulated that, for development enhancement and personality problems minimization, humans at individual and group levels need empowerment skills through counselling. This postulation becomes imperative because since counselling is a help rendering session, she can then be used as a catalyst to facilitate, assist, train in a way or means of supporting human beings to positively achieve his/her goals and responsibilities through attaining better human performances and behaviours in all endeavors of human relationships, commercial motortricycling inclusive.

The Role of Field Agricultural Extensive in Empowerment o5f Coffee Farmers (Case Study of Coffee Farmers Group in Trawas District, Mojokerto Regency)
Ony Darmawan, Mubarokah, Sri Tjondro Winarno – October 2022- Page No.: 149-155
The shortage of government extension workers in the field has led to a gap in farmers’ innovation towards rapid changes in information and a decrease in the effectiveness of extension activities. As a result, farmers are powerless in dealing with changes in their own environment, especially with regard to farming, so that the role of extension workers is still needed by farmers to overcome this. This study aims to describe the role of agricultural extension workers and the empowerment of coffee farmers and to analyze the effect of the role of agricultural extension workers on the empowerment of coffee farmers in Trawas District, Mojokerto Regency. The sampling technique used proportional random sampling, meaning that each farmer group was represented by each respondent with a proportional amount. Each farmer group was taken as many as 6, after being multiplied by the number of farmer groups, the sample in this study amounted to 66. The analysis in this study used descriptive analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) analysis. The results of the study that the role of agricultural extension agents as innovators have a significant positive effect on the empowerment of coffee farmers in Trawas District, Mojokerto Regency. As an innovator, extension workers provide the latest ideas or ideas about coffee cultivation, extension workers also provide the latest breakthroughs on harvest and post-harvest handling. The role of agricultural extension workers as motivators has a significant positive effect on farmer empowerment. The role of agricultural instructors as facilitators has a significant positive effect on the empowerment of coffee farmers in Trawas District, Mojokerto Regency. The role of agricultural instructors as communicators has a significant positive effect on the dependent variable of Farmer Empowerment. The role of the extension agent is to act as a communicator by delivering extension materials and communicating well, the extension worker also listens to complaints from members of the farmer group during extension activities.

Deploying Public Private Partnership PPP in Understanding the Missing Link and Requisite Legal Regime to Resolve the Almajiri System Challenge
Faruk Sani, LLM & Buhari Bello, PhD – October 2022- Page No.: 156-166
The various efforts of the Federal Government and its agencies together with international institutions at integrating the Almajiri education into contemporary education in Nigeria or mainstreaming the Almajiri system into the nation’s educational system have not achieved the desired objectives. The failure of relevant policy makers could be traced to their solution-strategies, which did not give adequate considerations to the historical realities of the Almajiri system; to the constitutional obligation of government to provide free and compulsory basic education to its school age citizens; and to a genuine stakeholder buy-in of Almajiri school operators. Using a doctrinal research methodology that leaned more on official narrative, institutional publications as well as Internet resources and online blogs, the paper looked at Almajiri concept, reviewed the legal framework underpinning basic education rights in Nigeria, and explored the various attempts at mainstreaming the Almajiri system. The paper discovered that the solution-strategies to deal with the Almajiri challenge are premised on a jaundiced notion of the Almajiri system, which is commonly viewed as a source of terrorists and criminal gangs recruitments, and the underestimation of the capacity of Almajiri school operators to lead the process. The paper found that the risk analyses of the solution strategies were not adequate and comprehensive enough with the attendant consequence of increased suspicion between the government and Almajiri school operators. The paper therefore recommended a partnership arrangement built on mutual respect among the three stakeholders, namely, the government, the Almajiri school operators and the Almajiri parents as well as a partnership on the basis of shared responsibilities, shared resources and shared rewards under which the operators or their immediate communities will take a commanding heights in the operation and management of the Almajiri schools. This type of arrangement is a good candidate for Pro-Poor Public Private Partnership (PPPPP), which is commonly used in many jurisdictions to serve the neglected part of the populations. In this respect, the paper recommends the Charter School model, which the United States established to cater for the educationally underserved and neglected among its citizens. If implemented, the twin incidences of out-of-school children and Almajiri Street begging will greatly reduced, thereby positively impacting to the social, political and economic sectors of the Nigerian society.

Darfur Conflict and Hybrid Operation: Challenges of a Pioneer Hybrid Peacekeeping Operation Model
Daniel Adekera PhD – October 2022- Page No.: 167-174
The African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) established on 31 July 2007 as the first truly joint peacekeeping mission was a very ambitious adventure in collective security management. For the first time in its 27 years of peacekeeping, the United Nations would be sharing command and control of a peacekeeping mission with a regional organization. It was an experiment whose success or otherwise would determine the way the United Nations, the body responsible for global peace and security, was going to do business. This article conducted a critical assessment of the mission using content analysis of UN Security Council Resolutions, Code Cables and Note Verbales as well as relevant African Union documents and in-depth interviews The data collected was critically examined using the qualitative method. It found that the mission was confronted with numerous logistical and security constraints as it operated in a complex and hostile political environment. It also found that several structural and functional issues were not very clearly defined, giving rise to operational challenges. The study recommends that, given the perceived influence the hybrid operation appears to have on future UN peacekeeping operations, issues bordering on command and control and mandates should be clearly defined to avoid gaps and or overlaps that were experienced in the Darfur operation.

Environmental Accounting Costs and Financial Performance of Selected Quoted Oil and Gas Companies in Nigeria
Okere Obinna Cletus PhD, Prof. S.C Nwite PhD, AGANA Ogagaoghene John, PhD, ACA – October 2022- Page No.: 175-187
The focus of this study is to examine the effects of environmental accounting costs on the financial performance of selected quoted oil and gas firms in Nigeria. To achieve this objective, Secondary source of data was used in the study and sourced through Nigeria exchange group and companies’ annual report of Conoil, MRS Oil and Forte Oil covering the period of 21years (2000-2020). The study adopted both the descriptive and inferential statistics in analyzing the panel data and in order to empirically investigate the effect of the explanatory variables on the dependent variable, multiple regression model involving ordinary least square method was used to test hypotheses formulated. Results from the regression indicate that environmental internal failure cost and environmental external failure cost have a positive and significant effect on the financial performance of oil and gas companies in Nigeria, while, Environmental pollution prevention costs and environmental detection costs revealed an insignificant effect on the financial performance of oil and gas companies in Nigeria. The Implications of these results are that, if the variables are not identified and improved upon, the challenges facing environmental accounting costs on the financial performance of the companies may persist and may lead to sub optimal performance and failed vision. Thus, the study concluded that the environmental accounting costs have significantly affected the general financial performance of oil and gas industry in Nigeria. The study therefore recommends that the management of petroleum companies should continue to put funds on internal failure cost to ensure continuous reduction of contaminants in the environment to an amount that complies with environmental standards.

Hepatic Assessment of Ethanol and Aqueous Extracts of Gnetum Africanum Root on Wistar Alibino Rats
Akporhono Onyedikachi Joannah – October 2022- Page No.: 193-197
The effect of ethanol and aqueous extracts of Gnetum africanum root on hepatic biomarkers of wistar albino rats was determined. Samples of Gnetum africanum root obtained from Obokwe Ngor Okpala in Imo State were milled, homogenized and extracted with ethanol and aqueous solvents respectively. The lethal dose (LD50) of the crude samples were determined and found not to be toxic after acute and sub-chronic determination. 35 rats divided into seven groups of five rats each were used. The first (control) group received 1ml normal saline daily, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th groups received 250mg/kg, 500mg/kg and 1000mg/kg body weight of aqueous extract, while groups 5, 6 and 7 received 250mg/kg, 500mg/kg and 1000mg/kg body weight ethanol extract for 14 days duration of the research. The animals were sacrificed after 14 days, blood and liver organs were collected. The result revealed a significant increase in alanine transferase (ALT), aspartate transferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and bilirubin concentration with ethanol extract and little or no significant change with aqueous extract of the Gnetum africanum root. Histopathology examination of the liver sections of the rats treated with ethanol extract revealed some abnormal morphology characteristics such as hypercellularity and slight haemorrhagic necrosis in all the treated groups. In conclusion, the aqueous extracts of Gnetum africanum root at 250mg/kg and 500mg/kg body weight may possibly be safe for consumption without any significant toxic effect on the liver of the rats. It is recommended that further studies be done on additional biomarkers such as genetics, proteomics, metabolomics and MicroRNAs of hepatotoxicity in the serum; this can be measured in conjunction with ALT, with respect to specificity of liver injury

Improving and Sustaining Economic Growth in Africa. A Case Study of China’s Three Gorges Dam
Richard Amoasi, Ivanrich Asamoah, Tyse Adwoa Acquah, Francisca Aborh, Winifred Serwornu, Margaret Asamoah – October 2022- Page No.: 203-207
Strategic alliance in the area of hydro dams’ construction will serve as a major mechanism for curtailing high cost of living and the high unemployment rates in Africa. Food shortage is normal in most African countries and prices of food is very high preventing many within the lower income groups from making any meaningful savings. Farmers depend on rainfall and in most times of the year, farmers do not obtain water for farming. Dams with excess water are spilled causing destruction of lives and properties without saving the water for any particular purpose in most African countries. Constructing similar dam like the Three Gorges Dam in Africa through strategic alliance with high hydro power production will increase electricity supply to sustain manufacturing companies, water supply as well as promote tourism to increase the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the nations. The 4 years full cost recovery instead of the projected 10 years is a sign of efficiency, transparency and a sense of accountability lacked by African governments.

Impact of Minimum Wage non-compliances on Employment in Cameroon
Joachem Meh Bin, Aloysius Mom Njong & Moses Ofeh Abit – October 2022- Page No.: 208-214
This paper investigates the impact of minimum wage theft for employment in Cameroon using the 2005 and 2010 Cameroon labour force surveys. To achieve these objectives, use is made of the Difference-in-Differences estimator, hackman two step approach, instrumental variables approach. Empirical results revealed that minimum wage theft is more prevalent, deeper and severer among rural (female) workers than their urban (male) counterparts. Results also reveals a negative relationship between minimum wage theft and employment in 2005 and a deeper disincentive effect on employment between 2005 and 2010. These findings suggest that government should increase minimum wage theft control and impose penalty for violating firms.

Ronald Musinguzi Kersteins, Wambua Pius Muasa (PhD) – October 2022- Page No.: 215-219
Coping strategies to burnout in pastoral ministry is paramount to the mental well-being of Catholic religious men and women. The objective of this study was to identify coping strategies for preventing burnout in pastoral ministry among the Catholic religious men and women of Mbarara Archdiocese Uganda. The study employed an exploratory research design. Through Purposive sampling the study utilized a sample size of 10 participants. The data was collected using Interview Guide. The data collected was analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings of this study revealed that spiritual practices such as prayer, retreats and recollections, are major ways of preventing burnout among religious men and women in their ministry. Moreover, the Catholic religious men and women prevent burnout in pastoral ministry through self-care which included activities such as taking time to rest, having time for recreation, breaks and holidays, and renewal courses. In addition, the findings showed that Catholic religious men and women prevent pastoral ministry through psycho-spiritual resources such as meditation, imagery, journaling, visualization, and awareness. The study recommends to Bishops and Major Superiors to put in place programs that emphasize self-care among their religious men and women. Programs such as regular vacations, sabbaticals, regular medical attention can help to enhance the wellness of the religious men and women even when they are involved in challenging apostolate.

The Nature and Extent of Human-Wildlife Conflict Effect on Socio- Economic Development and Educational Development in Baringo North Sub-County, Kenya
Cheptarus, G., Rev. Sgt. Rtd. Dr. Odhiambo, E. O. S. & Dr. Nabiswa, J. – October 2022- Page No.: 220-230
Kenya Wildlife Service has invested heavily in implementation of strategies as a concerted effort by the government to curb Human Wildlife Conflict in Kenya. Despite this effort, cases of Human Wildlife Conflicts are still being reported. Various existing policies seem not to offer solutions to the prevailing Human Wildlife Conflict. It’s on this foundation that the study sort to examine the nature and extent of human wildlife conflicts in Baringo North Sub-County, Kenya. This study was guided by Stern Theory of Value Belief Norm; Kenneth’s and Kilmann’s Conflict Styles theory and Dollard’s Frustration Aggression Displacement theory. A descriptive survey research design was used. The study population was; Government field officers, Civil society leaders, KWS official, Opinion leaders, Teachers, Community based organizations, Leaders of Farmers Corporations, Village elders and victims of human wildlife conflicts, totaling to 329 respondents. Both probability and non-probability sampling techniques were used. Data was collected using questionnaires, interview schedules, observation checklist and Focus Group Discussions. Descriptive analysis using quantitative and qualitative techniques were used in the study. While quantitative data was presented in form of frequencies and percentage, in tables, charts and graphs, qualitative data was presented thematically through narratives reports and verbatim quotations. Findings indicated that there was risk of the children meeting wild animals as they cross paths with wild animals as they go to school or attend their daily chores, hence they face imminent injuries and death. Most wildlife attack people during the day as they work in their farms. Snakes and elephants were the most reported as wild animals that attack the people. Shared water and food resources were indicated as the main cause of the HWC. Poverty and overpopulation were identified as the main drivers of HWC and that wildlife habitats are disappearing at an alarming rate. The study recommends that government should resolve HWC by generating, lasting solutions. Such solutions include fencing off the reserve to keep off roaming wildlife and those injured together with the crops destroyed should be adequately compensated.

Harmonized Gender and Development Guideline and Its Effect on Gender Responsive Infrastructure Projects of DPWH Region XI
Jezabel E. Tuling – October 2022- Page No.: 231-237
This quantitative study to identify the effect of Harmonized Gender and Development Guidelines on DPWH Infrastructure Projects in Region XI, particularly the Daang Maharlika Road, covering the cities of Tagum and Panabo and the Municipality of Carmen. A stratified random sampling technique using Cochran (1977) was employed to determine the sampling size. In measuring the level of gender responsiveness Daang Maharlika Road, this study used the Harmonized Gender and Development Guidelines (HGDG) Box 10. GAD checklist for designing and evaluating infrastructure projects. Mean and Standard Deviation was utilized to analyze the data before and after the adoption of HGDG, while secondary data from the agency was used to describe how HGDG affects the prioritization of the DPWH Infrastructure Project in terms of gender and development responsiveness. The survey result showed that before the adoption of HGDG, the level of gender responsiveness of the infrastructure projects was moderate (x=1.86) (sd=0.43), which means that most of its road infrastructures and related facilities have promising GAD prospects but still need further technical assistance in some areas. While after the HGDG was adopted, the gender responsiveness of the infrastructure projects improved, as shown in the result that was described as high (x=2.50) (sd=0.25). By using the HGDG Tool, the department has guaranteed that the following factors are taken into account during the program/project identification stage: (a) the involvement of both men and women in problem identification; (b) the generation and use of sex-disaggregated data (SDD); and (c) gender analysis to identify gender issues. Lastly, the identified mechanisms to be developed to sustain a gender-responsive infrastructure project are the following: (a) involvement in the decision-making, (b) intensifying the implementation and monitoring, and (c) forging a partnership with other networks.

Implications of USA-China Clashing Interests in The Asia Pacific Region on International Peace and Security: Reflections of The South China Sea Dispute from 2012 to 2022
Emmanuel Sakarombe, Pedzisai Sixpence, Alouis Chilunjika and Jonah Marawako – October 2022- Page No.: 238-247
Asia Pacific region has become a region of strategic importance for both the United States of America (USA) and People’ Republic of China. As a result renewed interests have emerged. Both countries are actively competing for natural resources especially oil, for political and tactical influence as well as to ensure they expand their interests. These increased interests have reduced the Asia Pacific region to become a battleground for power and influence hence negatively affecting the presence of peace and security. This current situation has disposed the Asia Pacific region to become a center-piece for rivalry and is a region at risk of great power competition. Tensions between the US and China have created conditions of aggressive, assertive and revisionist tendencies. This has generated insecurities among countries in the Asia Pacific region. The South China Sea now presents an arena in which the US and China can show-case their power. The South China Sea is moving from being a marginal area to become the epicenter of US-China relations, this might affect peace and security in the region because these two major powers are prepared to go to war so as to safeguard their interests in the South China Sea. This paper provides an analysis of the implications of US-China interests in the Asia Pacific region on peace and security. The article examined the case of the South China Sea Dispute. This paper recommends that the US and China should locate areas of mutual interests and focus on collective interests which assures a peaceful and secure Asia Pacific region. The US and China should manage their relations with focus of creating a stable and conducive Asia Pacific region, through mutual respect and understanding.

Legal Politics of Money Laundering Law on Taxpayer Evasion Cases
Dr. Imam Ropii, S.H., M.H and Umar Said, S.H – October 2022- Page No.: 248-251
Lately, some people have misused a tax collection system to benefit themselves. One of them is the misuse of the self-assessment system, this system does not look like its initial goal, namely to improve tax compliance from taxpayers, but taxpayers interpret it as a gap in the implementation of tax avoidance activities. At a practical level, taxpayers can carry out tax avoidance activities such as setting operating costs, goods for sale, transfer pricing, and intercompany pricing, this can be done to minimize or avoid paying taxes. Of course, in the author’s opinion, this is a crime in the taxation sector, and it can even be categorized as an initial crime of money laundering, hereinafter referred to as ML. So that the author aims to conduct this research in order to explore and examine the direction of legal politics with regard to money laundering in the case of taxpayer evasion by using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results of the study show that there is a connection between tax crimes and money laundering offenses, where tax crime is a predicate crime and money laundering is a derivative crime. Where it was also found that the legal political direction of the ML law adheres to the concursus realist principle which in its law enforcement ML is independent, and there is an obligation for investigators to investigate the merger between predicate crimes, in this case, tax crimes and money laundering offenses.

Farzana Sultana Bari, Sanjib Ahmad Talukder Tonoy, Tasrin Jahan, Mohammad Abdul Mannan, Abdus Salam Mondol – October 2022- Page No.: 252-257
the nutritional scenario is gradually improving in developing countries like Bangladesh. This study presents analytical description on the supply trend of rice, wheat, total cereals, pulses, edible oil or oil seeds, sugar or sugarcane, etc during 2004, 2010, and 2016. These statuses have been based on change in supply levels in the light of data available. Data available on food supply from food balance sheet in FAOSTAT of FAO; on food intake from Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) were the basis of trend analysis of the study. In the year of 2004 to 2016 total food supply increased from 297.6kg to 417.21kg per capita year: whereas during the same period the total food intake decreased from 856.1g to 852.67g per capita per day in the country. There might be surplus of cereals in the country, but these prospects are likely to reduce in the years to come. This situation is even more alarming for pulses. Food based approach particularly supply of adequate safe and nutritious food, adequate intake of diversified food can ensure sustainable health and nutritional status of the population. To meet the future food requirements, the country have to either increase food production and supply, or depend on imports.

Adebakin, Oluyinka Osoja, Olasunkanmi O. Olasokan, Opeyemi Awotoye Michael, Olusegun Kayode Adenaiya – October 2022- Page No.: 258-269
The world economy has been ravaged by the Pandemic Lockdown, whose origin could be traced to China, and the world has since been stagnant from all formal activities for a longer period than initially projected, coupled with the Ukraine-Russian war. In a bid to curtail the spread of the virus, movement restriction was recommended by the world health organization (WHO), which has affected tremendously the transportation industry globally, as the industry depends heavily on mobility. This research, therefore, aimed to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the transportation industry, to evaluate the various post-COVID-19 pandemic recovery and resilience strategies adopted by the transportation. The researcher adopted the review of various scholarly publications on the subject matter, which was used to draw inferences; primary data was also collected using a questionnaire, which was subjected to analysis for hypothesis testing. The research recommends Post crises management strategies, secured employment contracts, fair working conditions, and fair salaries for transportation employees, to aid their quick recovery; proper orientation on sustainable development strategies to help reduce the severity of the Pandemic, introduction of supportable development programs at various terminals to help reduce the severity of the pandemic lockdown on the transportation industry. Finally, the government and its stakeholders should adopt post COVID-19 recovery strategies which include postponement of all dues, and direct financial assistance, to help reduce the significant impact of the pandemic lockdown on the transportation industry and its employee.

Stakeholders’ Perceptions of The Relationship Between Parental Role and Students’ Delinquent Behaviors Change at College Saint-Andre, Nyarugenge District, Rwanda.
Victor Ndangamyambi, & Prof. Abdulrazaq Olayinka Oniye – October 2022- Page No.: 274-287
This research aimed at assessing the stakeholders’ perceptions of the relationship between parental role and student’s delinquent behaviors change at Collège Saint-André. Specific objectives of the research were to find out the relationship between parent- child relationship; child safeguarding and protection; and parent regular follow- up and student’s delinquent behaviors change at Collège Saint-André. Alternative hypotheses of the research were H1-3: there is significant relationship between parental- child relationship; child safeguarding and protection; and parent regular follow- up and student’s delinquent behaviors change at Collège Saint-André. The research used a mix of descriptive, empirical and correlational design. A sample of 104 respondents were selected from five clusters namely parents, students, teachers, staffs, and the sector education officers who responded to a questionnaire designed in form of five levels Likert scale. The data was analyzed using SPSS Statistics version 23. The results of the study revealed that parental- child relationship was positive and significant (β1= 0. 351; p< 0.05) to student’s delinquent behaviors change at Collège Saint-André; child safeguarding and protection was positive and significant (β2= 0. 219; p< 0.05); and parent regular follow- up was positive but not significant (β3= 0. 062; p>0.05). The R2 results indicated that parental- child relationship, child safeguarding and protection, and parent regular follow- up contribute 67.2% to the change in student’s delinquent behaviors at Collège Saint-André. The researcher concluded that parental- child relationship as well as child safeguarding and protection were positive and significant to students’ delinquent behaviors change. Therefore effective mechanisms of facing todays’ challenging juvenile delinquent behaviours specifically in schools consists of promoting awareness of the role of parents through improved good communication increasing trust into children, ensure their security from violence and flexible follow- up promoting autonomization. The researcher recommended to parents to improve their relationship with their children, to promote safeguarding and protection to their children and moderate their regular follow- up while promoting children’s autonomy.

Analysis of The Board of Director Independence on The Financial Performance Deposit Taking Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies in Kiambu County, Kenya
Mary Katheu Nzomo – October 2022- Page No.: 288-324
Over the recent past, the Savings and Credit Co-operative sector have experienced persistent poor financial performance due to poor adoption of board of director independence strategy. This is in spite of the fact that the sector is an important contributor of the economics growth in Kenya. There have been financial woes especially in the deposit taking Savings and Credit Co-operative’s in Kenya that have been attributed to poor board of director independence strategy. The study’s main purpose is to establish the effect of board of directors’ and the performance of deposit taking Savings and Credit Co-operative’s in Kenya. It was however guided by the following independent variables that are: board structure; board diversity; CEO duality; and directors’ equity interest and financial performance of deposit taking Savings and Credit Co-operatives in Kiambu County. This study adopted mixed research methodology and correlational research design approaches. The target population was forty two registered and licensed Deposit-Taking Savings and Credit Co-operatives within Kiambu County Kenya. Census sampling technique was adopted in this study. Primary data was collected by use of structured questionnaires that was in five point non-comparative Likert scale. Pilot test was conducted from K-Unity DT-SACCO in Kiambu County through pre-testing the questionnaire on ten participants. Reliabilty was done through a random selection of ten (10) participants from K-Unity Sacco Limited in Kiambu County however the results were not part of the actual data analysis in this study. The reliability of 0.70 or higher (was obtained on a significant sample) was appropriate as a rule of thumb. Descriptive analysis was conducted using Statistical Program for Social Sciences (SPSS) that resulted to means and standard deviation; multiple regression analysis; and analysis of variance (ANOVA) tables. The respondents’ consent was sought on the basis that anonymity and confidentiality was wholly ensured for the purpose of the study. This study found that board independence i.e. Board structure, Board Diversity, CEO Duality, Director’s Equity positively influences financial performance of Dt-Sacco’s in Kiambu County. It is recommended by the study that the board structure, board diversity, CEO duality, director’s equity for financial performance should be characterized by an increase in gender balance of the board members, an increase in meetings, increased managerial ownership and improved equity of each director for improved financial performance of Dt-Sacco’s.

Ayodele Mandela, ASEBIOMO (Ph.D), & Adebayo Lawrence, OJO (M.Ed) – October 2022- Page No.: 325-329
This study examined the causes of premarital sex among undergraduate students of University of Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey research design was employed while a total of 200 male and female students were purposively and accidentally selected. A 35 items questionnaire named Causes of Premarital Sex Questionnaire (CPSQ) developed by the researchers was used to generate data for the study. The instrument was validated by expert’s and a reliability index of 0.84 was obtained using the Person Product Moment Correlation. Data generated were analyzed using percentage and multiple regression to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. On the basis of findings, the study concludes that premarital sex among undergraduate students of University of Ilorin were caused by peers, media, single parenthood, economic reason, academic progression and curiosity. Recommendations are made, among which is that sex education curriculum should be developed by the National Universities Commission (NUC) for higher institution of learning in Nigeria. This will contribute to the understanding of students on the dangers associated with premarital sex and prepare them on how to manage sexual urges

Assessment of the implementation of the Pioneer Secondary School Science Teachers Education Programme in the three Primary Teachers Colleges in Zimbabwe
Dr Florence Dube, and Peter Njini – October 2022- Page No.: 330-346
The research was concerned with assessment of the Secondary Science Teacher Programme that was introduced in the three Primary Teachers Colleges namely Masvingo, Mkoba and Joshua Mqabuko Polytechnic. Interviews were held with Administration personnel in the three colleges to find out how administration dealt with financing and staffing of the programme. Focus group discussions were held with members of the lecturing staff running the Secondary Science Teacher Programme in the three colleges, to find out the support that they got from administration to run the program, how the program was structured and implemented. A questionnaire was administered to students of the pioneer group who completed the course to find their opinions on the course. Findings were that the three colleges received money from the government to buy science equipment, books and consumables to run the course. All the three colleges used lecturers already in college to kick-start the programme. Learning space was also shared between the Primary and Secondary programs. Generally, lecturers running the programs were qualified to teach at that level. Programs that were running in the three colleges were comparable in terms of content but differences’ were seen in assessment and lack of practical activities in the colleges. Recommendations were that the University of Zimbabwe could revisit assessment in the Handbook guidelines while colleges could revisit their criteria of selecting students and structure of the course in terms of subject combinations. It was recommended that the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation, Science and Technology Development could help colleges by sourcing for equipment and resources from a central point. The Ministry could also provide colleges with learning space and more lecturers to run the programme.

Mediating Effect of Transformational Leadership Style of School Heads on the Relationship Between Organizational Climate and Self-Esteem of Teachers
Glorybeth C. Pesania – October 2022- Page No.: 347-361
This academic endeavor aimed to determine the mediating effect of the transformational leadership style of school heads on the relationship between organizational climate and teachers’ self-esteem. This quantitative study utilizes mediation analysis with the comprehensive interpretation of the data gathered through statistical treatments (Mean, Correlation Analysis, Med-graph using Sobel z-test). The participants were selected through a stratified random sampling technique where they were identified as secondary school teachers of the Municipality of Santo Tomas, Schools Division of Davao del Norte. Results of the study revealed that the Level of Organizational Climate perceived by Secondary School Teachers in Santo Tomas has a high descriptive equivalent, Level of Self-Esteem of Teachers also has a high descriptive equivalent. Level of Transformational Leadership Style of School heads has a very high descriptive equivalent. It is also concluded based on the mediation analysis of the study that transformational leadership of school heads did not explain any significant portion of the relationship between organizational climate and self-esteem of secondary school teachers of the Municipality of Santo Tomas. However, the study also shows a strong relationship between organizational climate and self-esteem

English Second Language Pedagogy and its Effectiveness in the Rural Milieu of Namibia’s Kavango East Region
Natalia S. Intja, Sitemo R. Mufenda, Bilha, K. Simuketa – October 2022- Page No.: 362-366
After Namibia gained independence, there was a move towards an education for all. This meant that Namibians had to baptize a certain language as their official language. Namibians opted for English as the official language because it was more uniting than using a certain local language. Using a local language as the lingua franca would have empowered one ethnic grouping at the expense of others. In line with the adoption of English as the official language, the Ministry of Education, Arts, Sports and Culture began implementing English as a medium of instruction in all state schools and schools subsidized by government. Undoubtedly this move seems promising for the Namibian education sector but bring with it several challenges, particularly in rural areas. The study employed a combination of both qualitative and quantitative methods. The initial target population of this study was all learners and English language teachers in the rural milieu of Kavango East. However due to numerous constraints, the study comprised of 4 teachers from 2 rural schools of the Kavango East Region. Convenience sampling technique was ideal for this study as not all rural schools were being accessible to the researchers due to economic constraints. Open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interview guides were used in the study. Inductive analysis was used in the study to derive concepts from data. Collected data were descriptively analysed and interpreted question by question. Findings were reported/ presented according to emerging themes. The findings in this study should serve as a wake up for the education ministry to ensure that advisory services are provided to teachers. There is an urgent need for government to invest more into building of classrooms to reduce over crowdedness, more budgetary allocations are needed to equip schools with ICT tools that will advance teaching and learning in the rural schools of Kavango East. Finally, this study recommends capacity building workshops for English teachers at least twice a year as this may equip them with the pedagogical skills to navigate their daily English classroom challenges.

Community Policing in Crime Management in Ongata Rongai, Kenya
Clifford Gichaba Okwoyo – October 2022- Page No.: 370-376
Community policing is an approach to policing that brings together the police and local communities to develop local solutions to safety and security concerns. This study sought to assess community policing in crime management in OngataRongai, Kajiado County. The study was guided by three specific objectives; to examine community policing partnerships, to analyze crime intervention techniques and to identify organizational features in crime management in OngataRongai. Broken Windows ‘Theory’ of Crime was applied in addressing the theoretical background of the study as well as linking it to the study objectives. Descriptive research design was used as the methodology for carrying out research. The target population for this study comprised Kenya National Police Service, State officers from the Ministry of Interior, Government policing agencies, and stakeholders from Religious groups Community-Based Organizations, civil society organizations, business community, the private security industry, the media, Non-Governmental Organizations, special needs groups, educational institutions, youth and women’s organizations. Purposive sampling was utilized and the sample size was 100 respondents. The study used questionnaires, guided interview schedules, telephone interviews and focused group discussions. A total of 3 Focus Group Discussions and 4 key informant interviews were conducted. Validity and reliability of the questionnaires were determined by conducting a pilot study in the adjacent sub-county of Ngong. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics while qualitative data was presented through content analysis as obtained from the field exercise. The major findings of the study include; the existing partnerships were not effective due to lack of trust and interest between the police and members of public to CP program in OngataRongai; the introduction of flood lights, mulika platform, marking/naming of streets, regular foot and mobile patrols, KaziMtaani Programmes, installation of CCTV Cameras and zoning of areas had enhanced safety and security by positively contributing to a decrease in crime; LEMELEPO, Ole Kassasi, and OngataRongai CBOs had assisted to bring down levels of crime. These were some of the key recommendations; The police should cultivate a culture of partnership with members of the public by identifying and striving to overcome the problem of long-standing mutual mistrust and suspicion; the government should ensure the police are equipped adequately with the necessary logistics, training, terms and conditions of service and facilitation to enable the them discharge their mandate effectively; members of public should be sensitised on the importance of having good relationship with the police and providing information concerning insecurity and other forms of crime; and lastly the government should create an enabling environment for the conduct of business in the country to prevent the youth from engaging in criminal activities.

Applying Ethical Issues in Research Statistical Analysis and Their Relation to Human Actions
Harisa Mardiana – October 2022- Page No.: 377-380
Researchers in calculating or measuring statistics use research tools or software, and researchers must apply research ethics. However, many researchers are negligent in research ethics, especially in using statistics. It is related to the relationship and the actions of the researchers themselves. Thus, if ethical norms in research are not applied, there is falsifying, fabrication, and misrepresenting data that does not support the truth. The researcher’s responsibility seems to be lost, and the honesty of the researcher disappears.
The actions of researchers or humans like that happen a lot and make research useless. This article discusses the dishonesty of researchers, third-party interference, and conflicts of interest. So, it becomes a fatal error. Therefore, the ideal of scientific perfection, where researchers must think critically and scientifically, feel or act and have reliability in measurement, is unpredictable.

A Critical Analysis of Learner performance in the Content-Based and Outcome-Based Secondary School History Curriculum in Zambia
Nisbert Machila, Ferdinand M Chipindi, Euston Chiputa and Bestern Kaani – October 2022- Page No.: 381-390
In this article a critical analysis of learner performance in the content based and outcome-based history curriculum is explored. The aim of study was to determine whether there was any statistical significance in learners’ performance between the content based and outcome-based curriculum in Lusaka, Zambia. The study further sought to ascertain the extent pupils’ demographic characteristics influence secondary school history achievement as a function of school type and syllabi. The study focused on six schools in Lusaka district, of which two were government, two private and two Missionary Grant Aided. Data were collected using document study, examination of Zambia reports, observations and scholarly works. The sample of 8,276 grade 12 history learners who sat for the national secondary school certificate in the period 2011 to 2020 in six secondary schools were used. A one-way ANOVA was performed to compare the effect of syllabus type on performance of the learners. The study results show that history learners performed statistically better on Outcome-based education (M 66.24 and SD 31.24) compared to Content-based education (M 28.53, SD20.36). The study also revealed that demographic factors such as type of syllabus and school type were statistically significant in their contribution to learners’ academic performance. Another interesting finding of the study was that private and grant-aided schools outperformed government schools in both syllabus types. Most private and grant-aided schools seem to perform better in good governance and human resource management, availability of teaching/learning resources, good pupil-teacher ratio, well trained and experienced teachers, teachers’ motivation through awards and better infrastructure development. The findings of the study prompted the proposal of a recommendation to revisit the senior secondary school History syllabus for it to respond to the Zambian changing dynamics such as a shift from emphasis Eurocentric views to Zambianised History

Comparative Effectiveness of Inductive and Deductive Teaching of Indices in Secondary Schools in Bamenda Municipality-Cameroon
Beyoh Dieudone Nkepah (PhD) – October 2022- Page No.: 391-394
The purpose of the study was to compare the mean achievement scores of students taught indices using the inductive and the deductive methods and to ascertain which of these two methods could minimise gender inequality in the learning of indices. The study adopted the quasi-experimental research design where two Form Three intact classes were sampled using both the purposive and the simple random sampling techniques. A pre-test and a post-test were administered to the two intact classes to determine their cognitive levels before and after the experiment respectively. Two equivalent forms of a Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) in indices were used to achieve this purpose. The findings of the study revealed that students taught indices using the inductive method performed significantly better than those taught using the deductive teaching method. The findings also showed that female students performed better than their male counterparts when taught indices using the inductive teaching method, while the male students performed better than their female counterparts when taught indices using the deductive teaching method. It was recommended that mathematics teachers in Bamenda municipality should adopt the inductive method in teaching indices. Seminars could be organised to build their capacities in relation to the use of this teaching method. Lastly, if education stakeholders in Bamenda municipality are interested in maintaining gender equality in the learning of mathematics and specifically in the learning of indices, then the inductive teaching method is strongly recommended.

An Investigation of the Challenges and Strategies of Adaptive Instruction in Junior High Schools in the Jirapa Municipality of the Upper West Region of Ghana
Ebenezer Nabiebakye, Libanus Susan, Prof. Clement K. Agezo – October 2022- Page No.: 402-413
Teachers are challenged to teach for all learners in the classroom to benefit. Teachers are tasked to adjust and modify the teaching and learning essentials to meet learners’ needs. The study examined the challenges and strategies of adaptive instruction in Junior High Schools in the Jirapa Municipality of the Upper West Region of Ghana. The study used pragmatists’ philosophy, mixed method approach and Cross-sectional research design. Humanistic learning theory developed by Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers, and James F. T. Bugental in the early 1960’s. Data for this study was gathered using interviews, observational protocol and questionnaires. A sample size of 80 learners, 10 headteachers and 0ne Municipal Education Training Officer were selected for the study using purposive sampling method. Qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis approach whilst the quantitative data was analysed using SPSS version 20. The findings revealed that: teachers were unable to use adaptive instruction effectively because some had inadequate adaptive expertise; time constraint; large class size; overloaded curriculum; multi-grade teaching and poor supervision. Also, on the strategies of responding to the challenges in the classroom, majority of the teachers claimed they used mixed ability grouping; ability grouping; collaborative learning; co-operative learning; inquiring based learning; microteaching; self-directed learning and task analysis approach as adaptive instructional strategies to teaching learners with varied learning needs. Unfortunately, in observing how teachers used the foregoing strategies, it was found that many did not use mixed and ability grouping as a strategy in teaching varied learners in the classroom. Amongst the various strategies, learners rated co-operative learning as the best form of learning strategy for responding to their learning differences.

Effect of Debt Experiences on The Indebtedness of Employees in The Formal Sector in Kenya
Morris Irungu Kariuki PhD – October 2022- Page No.: 414-423
This study examined the relationship between debt experiences and indebtedness of formal sector employees in Kenya. Positivism paradigm was used in this study. The study adopted a cross sectional and correlational descriptive research design. The study targeted about 2.4 million employees in the formal sector. Three stage sampling was done, first, cluster sampling and then, stratified sampling and finally random sampling. The study used primary data collected by use of self-administered questionnaires. A pilot test of the questionnaire was conducted on 40 respondents to check its validity and reliability. 384 questionnaires were circulated. Of the returned 337, 292 questionnaires were considered usable. Cronbach’s alpha for likert type items was found reliable (over 0.7). Data analysis used IBM SPSS statistics 21 for descriptive and correlation analysis. Further, OLS Multiple regression models were used to examine the relationship between debt experiences and indebtedness. The findings reveal that debt experiences have a significant effect on indebtedness.

Monetary Policy and Inflation Level in Nigeria
Emeka Idika, Emmanuel Chinanuife, Monday Itua, Jeremiah Eleojo Idoko – October 2022- Page No.: 424-431
Citizens in Nigeria are faced with continuous rise in the general price level and as a result, most families find it difficult to meet up the basic life sustaining needs. The price level in Nigeria is now a serious concern as the cost of feeding increases daily without a corresponding increase in household income. This study used time series data from the period of 1983 to 2021 to assess the impact of monetary policy on inflation in Nigeria. To ensure the stationarity of the variables in the model, the study adopted the Phillip Peron Unit root test. Based on the order of integrations, bound test approach to cointegration was used to ensure the existence of long run association among the variables in the model. An autoregressive distributed lag model is used to test the impact of monetary policy variables on inflation and on gross domestic product. The study found that monetary policy negatively affects inflation in Nigeria through liquidity ratio, money supply and exchange rate. The study therefore recommends that monetary policy instruments such as liquidity ratio, money supply and exchange rate should be used when the target is to reduce or control inflation in the country. Government should adopt loose monetary policy to stimulate aggregate purchases. With this, money supply can be increased when there is decrease in aggregate spending in an economy

Angbashim, Bridget Bitrus, Francisca Jacob Dayang, Tpl Bashayi Obadiah – October 2022- Page No.: 432-436
Tourism is a global scale industry with growing impact on the environment which provides new opportunities. When tourism potentials are developed and managed, they can generate substantial economic benefits to an area without creating any serious environmental or social problems. This research evaluates the prospects of Farin Ruwa waterfall as a tourist attraction for the development of Nasarawa state. The study area was the Farin Ruwa Development Area which was carved out of Wamba Local Government Area of the State. The research targeted local officials and tourism professionals as the population of the study. The sample size of the study is 31. Well-structured questionnaires were randomly administered to the population of the study. Sixteen were explicitly given to the local officials in the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and another 15 questionnaires for tourism professionals. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive methods. The results showed that Farin Ruwa waterfall have not been developed and are faced with the problems of infrastructural facilities, and many people are not happy with the present state of the waterfall. It is believed that if the waterfall is developed, it will bring enormous benefits to them. The research recommends that government should put in place a phased-out policy initiative to harness and fast-track the development of this Waterfall instead of the lackluster and slow developmental efforts. The study also recommends Public-private partnerships to encourage and stimulate the development of the waterfalls. In conclusion, Farin Ruwa Waterfall is a unique tourism potential which will become a major tourist attraction when properly planned and developed. This will improve the local economy by creating jobs and business activities thereby improving the living standard of the local communities and also developing the state economically through revenue generation.

School Girls’ Experiences of Gender Based Violence: A Study of Selected Secondary Schools in Kaoma and Luampa Districts of Western Zambia
Isaac Lubanze, Kalisto Kalimaposo, Inonge Milupi, Kaiko Mubita and Kasonde Mundende – October 2022- Page No.: 437-446
This study explored school girls’ experiences of gender based violence in selected secondary schools in Luampa and Kaoma districts of western Zambia. The study established the causes and consequences of gender based violence against school girls including factors that compel abused girls to remain silent. A qualitative phenomenological research design was employed in this study. Participants included twenty-eight (28) school girls who had been victims of gender-based violence, four (4) School Administrators, two (2) DEB Officials, and four (4) members of the community, all of whom were purposefully sampled. Data were gathered by semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. The causes were centered on socialization and traditional treatment that girls face in African society. School girls who experienced gender based violence did not report their experiences, for fear of being stigmatized, blamed, retaliated against, and not responded to by school administrators. Those who reported their experiences did not receive appropriate help. Male teachers engaged in sexual relationships with school girls and promised the girls money for food, school fees, and other necessities. Some male teachers reacted, beat and punished the girls who refused their advances. School girls also faced gender based violence from their male classmates who proposed sex to them, touched their breasts or bums, or made sexual comments. Some boys threatened girls who did not submit to their sexual advances and used physical violence. School girls experienced gender based violence by men they encountered as they walked long distances to and from school which negatively affected their education and health. Sexual abuse exposed girls to sexually transmitted diseases, early pregnancy, injury or death from unsafe abortions, depression and anxiety. They also lost concentration on their academic work, transferred to other schools to escape the abuse and dropped out of school because of pregnancy. Lack of policies for responding to reports of gender based violence and blaming girls made it difficult for girls to report their experiences. Male teachers who sexually abused school girls never received stiffer punishment but just transferred to other schools.

The Nexus between Infrastructural Support Systems and Educational Inclusion of Students Living with Disabilities SLWDS in Public Universities in Kenya
Roseline Onego, PhD., Dr. Peter Mbabazi Mbabazize, Dr. Ongodia A. Ekomolot – October 2022- Page No.: 447-454
The study focused on establishing the effect of infrastructural support systems on the educational inclusion of Students Living with Disabilities (SLWDs) in public universities in Kenya. It was founded on the Social Model (SM). A cross-sectional survey design was adopted. A sample size of 6 public universities, 6 coordinators (staff) for SLWDS, 6 SLWD leaders, and 384 SLWDs was sampled through multistage and purposive sampling. Quantitative data was collected from the SLWDs using questionnaires while qualitative data was from the coordinators and SLWDs leaders using an interview guide. An observation guide was used for triangulation. Content validity was established through expert judgment while reliability was established through Cronbach Alpha. A pilot study was carried out to assess the feasibility of the study. The study findings however revealed no significant relationship between Infrastructural Support Systems and the Educational Inclusion of Students Living with Disabilities (SLWDS) in public universities in Kenya. While correlation analysis revealed that the availability of educational infrastructure, would influence the educational inclusion of the SLWDS in public universities in Kenya at a significant level of 0.090. The study recommended the adoption of effective infrastructural strategies to facilitate educational inclusion for SLWDs. It concluded that opportunities for the SLWDs to pursue higher education can be realized with the same rights as their counterparts without challenges if the barriers to the required infrastructural needs are leveled, in particular; the cost of assistive technology, provision of alternative transport within the university facility and accessibility of the university facilities.

Assessment of the Effect of Agency Banking on Commercial Banks’ Performance in Sokoto Metropolis, Nigeria
Ibrahim S. Muhammad (PhD), Ganiyu Leke Bello – October 2022- Page No.: 455-462
The study assessed the effect of agency banking on commercial banks’ performance in Sokoto Metropolis. A survey design was used to carry out the research. The study used a judgmental sampling technique and simple random sampling to pick five respondents from the senior management staff, five employees from operational level staff, and twelve agents for each of the five selected commercial banks. Thus, 110 respondents were selected from five selected banks (Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB), Access Bank Plc, Zenith Bank Plc, First Bank of Nigeria (FBN), and Diamond Bank Plc). A questionnaire designed was used to collect data on a four-Likert scale rating. Descriptive statistics were used in form of percentages, mean, tables, and frequency counts, and inferential statistics inform the t-test to analyze the data. Results of the analysis indicate that agency banking has led to the accessibility of financial services to many customers, particularly in non-banking rural areas which has improved banks’ performance. It was concluded that access to effective financial service delivery to customers is a prerequisite to banks’ performance which can only be achieved by improving agency banking networks, especially in non-banking areas. The study recommends the need for banks’ management to further improve customers’ accessibility to effective financial service delivery.

Welfare Schemes for Migrant Workers in Kerala
Dr. Preemy P. Thachil – October 2022- Page No.: 463-464
Kerala has been a front- runner among the states in India, introducing social security schemes for different vulnerable sections of the society. These schemes, executed mainly through different welfare boards, and have been successful in extending social security to a limited extent to the majority of the vulnerable groups especially migrants. In India, social security is enumerated in the Directive Principles of State Policy and is one of the subjects in the Concurrent List in the Constitution of India, which is federal in nature. One of the major priorities of the state government is extending the coverage of social security net to workers in the unorganized sector (Government of Kerala, 2009). This paper examines key actions by the government to promote the social security of the migrant workers

Modesta Chinwe Akunede, Geraldine Ejiaka Nzeribe, Uju Regina Ezenekwe – October 2022- Page No.: 465-476
The human capital theory is one of the foundational theories of socio-economic development. The founding scholars hold that any acquired qualities and abilities that help individuals and groups be economically productive is an individual or group human capital. However, the focus by classical human capital model on schooling and training as the major factors comprising human capital on all levels has made the human capital measurement tools to generally assess only educational attainment on these levels. This overly simplified approach creates difficulty in accurately assessing the strengths and weaknesses of human capital in a country but policy-makers and others use these simplified estimates of human capital because the factors suggested to have significant impact on human capital are mostly intangible and the collection of such data costly. To identify and analyze the significant factors affecting the Nigerian human capital and determine efficient and effective ways of improvement, this study administered 90 copies of questionnaires to participants who were selected using purposive sampling technique. Responses were retrieved from 78 participants. A descriptive survey design using tables and mean scores was applied to the retrieved data. Findings revealed that human capital development is not limited to only investment in health and education but includes all policy measures which favour a country’s human population such as the provision of infrastructural facilities, enabling environment for businesses while reducing tribalism and other social vices all promote human capital development. Public opinion also suggested that having responsible families, even distribution of income and distributive justice in Nigeria will improve the state of her human capital.

Tense and Aspect in North-Western Edoid
Simeon Olaogun, Oluwaseun Oyelade – October 2022- Page No.: 477-488
Tense and aspect are a universal category. That is, there is no natural language in the world that does not have some means of expressing the relationship between the time of an event and its reporting (tense) and the duration of an action expressed by the verb in a clause (aspect). However, the morpho/phono-syntactic features of tense and aspectual markers viz their distribution and interaction differ from one language to another. The paper, therefore, compares Àbèsàbèsì with Òssé, with a view to proposing a unified analysis for all of the distributional nuances of tense and aspect markers in these two subgroups. It is observed among other things that in Àbèsàbèsì, each of tense and aspect realization has three forms conditioned by vowel harmony. Also, in Àbèsàbèsì, perfective markers occur pre-verbally yielding to aspect-verb order but in Proto Òssé, they occur in clause final positions yielding to verb-aspect order. In an attempt to present a unified systematic account of the intra-and/or inter-lingual tense and aspect variations, the paper, using the minimalist program, argues that the aspectual head (Asp0) in Proto Òssé has Extended Projection Principle feature which is satisfied by pied-piping the whole VP to the specifier of Aspectual Phrase.

Effect of Prison Programs on Rehabilitation of Inmates in County, Kenya
Hellen Wairimu Mburu, Catherine Gathitu – October 2022- Page No.: 489-495
The main objective of prisons in general and Kenyan in particular is to rehabilitate the inmates facilitate acquisition of self-dependence skills with a view of avoidance of repeat. The aim of this research was to interrogate the effect on male and female inmates’ life in prison in their journey of rehabilitation. The study was directed by the objective; to examine the effect of prison programs on inmates’ rehabilitation. The study employed descriptive survey research design. Questionnaires, interview guides as well as Focus Group Discussions were adopted to gather both quantitative and qualitative data. The investigation targeted 500 convicts who included first-time offenders and recidivists, 30 prison warders, and 4 key informers in Thika main and women prison. Stratified sampling was used in the investigation to first place the convicts according to gender to get three hundred male and two hundred female convicts. A sample size of 30% of the entire population of male and female convicts and prison warders was used in the investigation to get 90 male, 60 female convicts and 9 prison officers. Quantitative data was analysed descriptively by percentages and mode and were recorded in graphs and tables. Qualitative data were examined thematically and in patterns presented and formed in verbatim and narrative forms. The study established that inmates participated in elaborate prison programs which helped them ease the pain of imprisonment and gave them hope of getting employment after imprisonment making them more positive about future. Therefore, the study recommended that the prison management should sensitize inmates on the essence of the prison programs as they offer life skills which are supposed to help them when easily fit they go back to society. The government should also improve the rehabilitative programs and provide more resources geared towards these programs. Further, the government should set aside stipends to facilitate inmates to start a business after imprisonment using some of the skills acquired while in prison.

Challenges Facing Public-Private Partnerships with Faith Based Organizations aided Secondary Schools in Tanzania
Robert Mukasa and Cosmas Mnyanyi – October 2022- Page No.: 496-501
This study adopted a qualitative research approach and the data collection process included tools like; document analysis and interviews, where nineteen (19) semi-structured interviews were conducted involving six (8) administrators from; (3) Faith Based Organization (FBO) aided schools, (3) private schools and (3) government ministry officials; three (3) officials from public-private intermediary institutions. The purpose of this study was to find out the challenges faced by Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) with FBOs aided schools in Tanzania taking a case of Dar-es-salaam and Pwani regions. The qualitative data were analysed using thematic and content analysis. It was found out that PPPs with FBOs aided secondary schools are passive and ineffective and the only interface between the two sides is at the level of interactions and dialogue. It is recommended that more efforts be spent on the advocacy for PPPs and providing training in the art and craft of designing effective and efficient PPP contracts.

Do Technology-based Approaches Reduce Mathematics Anxiety? A Systematic Literature Review.
Oluwatoyin Motunrayo ATOYEBI, Samuel Babajide ATOYEBI – October 2022- Page No.: 502-509
The student’s attitude towards Mathematics and their achievement is affected by Mathematics anxiety. Mathematics anxiety may lead to avoidance of Mathematics or poor performance in Mathematics and subjects related to or depending on Mathematics. For students to perform well in Mathematics, Mathematics anxiety must be reduced in students. This systematic literature review examines the impact of technology-based approaches on Mathematics anxiety. The strategy used to perform the search for this study consisted of both a discipline-specific journal search and a database search where generalised results about the positive effect of technology-based approaches and their disadvantages were found. 35 papers published between 2002 and 2022 were included in the study and only peer-reviewed articles were included in the search. The study found that using technology-based approaches to teaching Mathematics leads to students showing a positive attitude toward the subject and reduces the level of their anxiety. And when students are confronted with any problem while using technology, in resolving the problem the students develop problem-solving and, in the process, develop their confidence in Mathematics. This study suggests that when incorporating technology into the Mathematics classroom, it is crucial to identify which learning activities benefit the most from technology as some parts of Mathematics may still be best mediated through traditional teaching approaches, such as encouraging class discussion about how to apply mathematical ideas, correcting exercises involving complicated calculations or drawings, and spotting simple arithmetic errors when solving mathematical problems.

Inside the Digital Society: Electronic Commerce Tax Barriers in Zimbabwe
Eliot Dzindikwa – October 2022- Page No.: 510-514
Technology as in electronic commerce is now allowing businesses to penetrate the global markets. Electronic commerce involves trading online using the internet as a conduit. The objective of this study was to investigate the barriers to electronic taxation in Zimbabwe. A qualitative approach was adopted for this study. The researcher deployed a descriptive survey design. Purposive sampling was used to select a sample of 60 participants. Virtual interviews were used to generate data from the participants. It was found that electronic commerce tax is very difficult to collect in Zimbabwe due lack of proper infrastructure and failure by Zimbabwe to implement policies on electronic commerce. Therefore, it is recommended that Zimbabwe invest in electronic tax infrastructure and establish a strong legislative system that support digital collection of taxes.

African Hermeneutics of Western education: A case of Yuyi Wamunyima Mupatu of Barotseland, Zambia, 1897-1982
Liwakala Muyoba, PhD. – October 2022- Page No.: 515-525
An African proverb states that “until the lion tells his side of the story, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter”. This is the case of the historiography of Western education in Africa, which was largely Eurocentric. Unlike many studies that are Eurocentric, the objectives of this article were to examine the history of education in Africa from the African’s point of view; to demonstrate that Africans were not passive recipients, but that they engaged Western education in a dialogue with indigenous African education. This has been achieved by examining the career of Yuyi Wamunyima Mupatu of Mongu-Lealui district, a man who made a significant contribution to the hermeneutics of Western education in Zambia. He became a teacher at Barotse National School but was twice fired for refusing to compromise on quality education. Mupatu led a movement that significantly decolonized education in a time which was forbidding. He established Makaplulwa School in 1945 but the school was closed due to local governance challenges in 1949. In 1963, the school reopened. Today Makapulwa School stands as Mupatu Combined School in Limulunga district. The study concludes that Mupatu’s is contribution to education is a demonstration of African people’s capability to interpret western culture and also their desire to retain what was African even as they embraced the West. It is a story of adoption, interpretation and adaptation of Western education. Mupatu was a product of both the Barotse indigenous education and Western education. To present this discourse, I relied on primary sources, mainly information from those who knew him; family members and his former pupils, his biography and other secondary sources on the subject. The study is significant because it highlights the people’s aspirations of what education should be in Africa.

Evaluation of Tree Species Diversity and Air Pollution Tolerance Index in Makurdi Metropolis, Benue State, Nigeria
M. G. Saka, I. D. Ikima, D. I. Adekanmbi, and B. B. Meer – October 2022- Page No.: 526-533
Tree species diversity and Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) in Makurdi Metropolis, Nigeria was evaluated. The study site was stratified into two areas, highly populated area (HPA) and less populated areas (LPA). In each of the area, five (5) major streets of 400 x 15 m were randomly selected for the study and all the tree species in the selected areas were enumerated and computed for diversity index estimation, using Shannon Wiener’s index. Matured fresh leaves of the highest ranked tree species was used for the biochemical analysis. The result on the species diversity revealed that Mangifera indica and Anacardium occidentale had the highest frequency of 46 and 95 trees among the enumerated tree species in the HPA and LPA respectively. The estimated diversity indices for the LPA and HPA was 3.037and 2.870 respectively This indicates that the LPA is highly populated in term of plant species. The result on the biochemical analysis shows that Delonix regia and Anacardium occidentale had the highest ascorbic acid values of 1.51 and 3.36 mg/g in HPA and LPA respectively, while the chlorophyll contents values ranges between 8.27 and 5.14 mg/g for Mangifera indica and Elias guinensis. The acidic APTI values ranges from 5.0 to 6.0 and 6.89 to 10.77 among the selected tree species. Conclusively, due to the highly diverse and ability of the tree species sensitivity to air pollutants in Makurdi Metropolis, these species should be given adequate protection in order to minimize environmental pollution.

Samuel Victor Akpan, Ayandele Isaac Ayayinka, Ekwere Raymond Enang – October 2022- Page No.: 534-542
Knowledge management and corporate performance studies is on the increase. Tertiary healthcare organizations may find knowledge management rewarding. This study explored the effect of knowledge management on corporate performance at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital. The study examined the linkage of knowledge management practices with healthcare performance. The study used proportional sampling technique to determine the proportion of clinical staff of University of Uyo Teaching Hospital. The study had a total population of 1,816 staff members with 924 clinical staff. A sample size of 450 used in the study copies of questionnaire were administered to selected clinical staff. The data collected through primary source was analysed using frequencies and multiple-regression model. The finding revealed that knowledge management indicators; knowledge acquisition, knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer showed statistically significant effect on corporate performance indicators; hospital re-admission rate, patients’ waiting time and patients’ average treatment cost at a P-value < 0.01. Key recommendations of the study were that management of the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital should improve upon knowledge management practices in order to increase the quality of services offered by the institution and that employees sharing of knowledge among groups, units and individual in the hospital should be encouraged to reduce patients’ waiting time.

Effect of Internal Control Systems on Operational Performance of Bralirwa Manufacturing Industry, Rwanda
Eugene Niyitegeka, & Dr. Thomas K Tarus – October 2022- Page No.: 543-551
The general aim of this study was to establish the effect of internal control systems on the operational performance of Bralirwa. Specific research objectives are to analyse the effect of control environment on the operational performance of Bralirwa; to determine the effect of control risk assessment on the performance of Bralirwa; to assess the effect of control activities on the performance of Bralirwa; to evaluate the effect of control information and communication on performance of Bralirwa and to determine the effect of monitoring and evaluation on the performance of Bralirwa. The researcher states the problems that the insufficient reliable and relevant internal control reports have caused institutions to collapse they fall into failure because of their liabilities far outweigh the general assets they even fail to satisfy their internal controllers. The lack of effective policy meant that most of the company’s performance was unplanned but has been practiced mostly as informal sector operations beyond the government framework. The researcher consulted related theories including agency, company control, institutional practices, and the decomposed theory of planned behavior. Data analysis used both descriptive and inferential statistics. The adopted statistical regression was designed in formal linear function (linear regression model) which was used for the analysis of data collected using a questionnaire. The study sample size was 145 respondents as employees of Bralirwa, the sample of respondents were chosen through a simple random sampling technique. The results revealed that there is a positive correlation between Control environments, Control risk assessment, Control activities, Control information and communication, Control information and communication, and Monitoring and evaluation of financial performance, objectives achievement, and customer satisfaction.

Ibrahim Adow Aden & Dr. Janet Muthimi – October 2022- Page No.: 582-592
This study was designed to investigate the effect of customer retention strategies and organizational resilience among insurance companies in Kenya. More specifically, the study focused on service quality strategy, customer satisfaction strategy, product mix strategy and perceived price fairness strategy in relation to organizational resilience among insurance companies in Kenya. The study was anchored on the dynamic capability theory, equity theory and the market-based view theory. A descriptive survey and cross-sectional design was adopted for this study. The study targeted marketing managers, underwriters and claim managers and their equivalent at CIC Insurance Company within Nairobi City County, Kenya. Questionnaires were utilized in collecting the Primary data. Descriptive statistics was used in describing the sample data which was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and presented through percentages, means, standard deviations and frequencies. Inferential statistics covering regression analysis was performed to come up with relevant inferences. The study findings indicated that service quality strategy, customer satisfaction strategy, product mix strategy and perceived price fairness strategy affected organizational resilience to a great extent. Customer retention strategy was found to have a higher impact on organizational market share, growth and profitability. Similarly, customer retention strategies were found to enhance an organization’s market share whereby people generally feel as associates with the insurance companies, gain trust with the insurance company and definitely making them to continue seeking services with the organization. On the other hand, customer retention strategies of effectiveness in cost/pricing structure of brands in the organization were found to aid in attracting new customers who open various cost structured accounts designed by the organization. The study recommends that the insurance companies should provide quality services as it is the best way of retaining the existing customers in the firm and this in turn yields greater commitment and loyalty of the customers

A Cognitive Stylistic Analysis of Selected Poems of Abba Gana Shettima
Dr Muhammad Aliyu SAJO, Dr Armiya’u Malami Yabo – October 2022- Page No.: 593-598
Interpretation of poetry has been very challenging to its readers especially students of language (Regis, 2013, p.1). Cognitive stylistics is an approach to the study of texts which entails the application of theories and concepts in cognitive linguistics to enhance the understanding of poetry which compresses information in few words. Therefore, cognitive stylistics “focuses on hypothesising how the reading process facilitates the interpretation of texts” (Jeffries & Mclntyre, 2010, p.126). The aim of this paper is to conduct a cognitive stylistic analysis of two selected Nigerian poems in order to highlight how cognitive stylistic features are calibrated in the texts to construct meaning. The objectives are to: (i) identify the types of cognitive stylistic features in the poems; and (ii) determine how cognitive stylistic concepts enhance the understanding of the poems. Among the findings of the study were that 22 cognitive stylistic features were identified in the two texts studied. The study employed descriptive and analytical methods through identification, description and interpretation of the data from the selected texts. The study concluded that cognitive stylistics is effective in the study and interpretation of poetry hence, it could be used in the study and teaching of poetry to enhance better understanding and appreciation of poetic texts.

Examining Effect of Illegal Small-Scale Mining (Galamsey) on the Education of Junior High School Students in the Kibi Township
Paul Williams Obeng, Derrick Nii Quarcoopome Sackey, Albert Bekoe Mensah – October 2022- Page No.: 604-609
The objectives of the study are to examine the extent to which junior high school students engage in illegal small-scale mining activities in the Kibi Township, Ghana and determine the effects of illegal small-scale mining activities on the education of junior high school students in the Kibi Township, Ghana. The study was a descriptive survey. The researchers used the stratified random sampling procedure to sample sixty respondents from four junior high schools in the Kibi Township, Ghana for the study. A closed-ended questionnaire was developed and administered to gather data for the study. The data gathered were analysed using descriptive statistics. Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that junior high school students in the Kibi Township to a very large extent engaged in illegal small-scale mining activities. Also, it can be concluded that although small-scale mining activities are mostly considered illegal, it gives students who engage in it the opportunity to save some few coins towards their education. The study recommends that head teachers of Junior High Schools in the Kibi Township through their Schools’ Management Committees (SMC) ensure that students are taken through professional counselling services for them to appreciate the need for formal education.

Human Elephant Conflict (HEC): a Contemporary Threat to Rural Livelihoods in Sri Lanka
A.A.L.C. Perera, K.M.R.D. Abhayapala, N. Dharmarathne, R.N. Nugara, U. Kumarasinghe – October 2022- Page No.: 620-626
Human Elephant Conflict (HEC) has been recognized as one of the key concerns in rural community development including their agricultural activities and livelihoods well. Unrestrained and insensitive clearing of natural forest habitats for human settlements and agricultural expansions have become the major causes for this HEC, which has arisen and reported to be problematic for many years. Being mega-herbivores, elephants necessitate a huge amount of daily feed intake and due to reduced extent of their feeding grounds and migratory drives, they tends to invade human settlements and raid croplands adjacent to their habitats. This phenomenon can be predominantly witnessed in Asia and some regions of Africa where the HEC is reported to be greater. Accordingly, Sri Lanka is one of the Asian countries which deem the elephants as a cultural emblem and also an ominous beast. Capture-transport, driving of elephants in to non-problematic areas, and different forms of elephant barriers particularly electric fencing and make trenches over protected areas are the most appeared tactics in Sri Lanka. In spite of this mitigation of HEC has become a serious concern in Sri Lanka over the decades as the number of reported incidences are still increasing, emphasizing that the emerged approaches are monitored to be ineffective in long-term. Besides majority of these approaches appeared to be less-sustainable and demanding frequent upkeep and energy. Therefore, it is mandatory to explore a technically sound and environmentally viable approach which can sustain over long-term coupled with satisfactory level of control

Deacon’s Manual
Youssry Guirguis, PhD – October 2022- Page No.: 627-641
I. INTRODUCTION
Definition Of Deacon
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
Helen Keller
The question is often asked, what is a deacon? Another is, what can a deacon do? The word “deacon” describes an officer in a local church. It is derived from a Greek word meaning “servant” or “minister.” The Bible employs the word “deacon” about thirty times. Each time the word occurs, it means a servant. The word, in general, denotes service or ministry (Mark 10:43–45 [Jesus]; Acts 1:17, 25 [apostles]; Rom 11:13 [Paul]), and was applied to local Christian leaders, possibly as an official title (Phil 1:1; 1 Tim 3:8, 12–13). In Romans 13:4 the word is applied to secular rulers. Hence, the term “deacon” is used for the office itself or for the collective body of deacons and deaconesses. As with many other biblical words used today in a technical sense, the words “deacon” and “deaconess” began as popular, nontechnical terms. Both in secular first-century Greek culture and in the NT they described a variety of services.
The biblical role of the deacon has been the subject of a long and a continued discussion. We should look, not at what history or denominations have said, but rather at what the Bible says about the word “deacon,” its function and qualifications, and the selection of deacons in the local NT church.4

Venus Sofia Espinas, Joseph Bryan Guerzon, Pauline Joy Mijares, Benz Arian Sibala, Joan Zinampan, Assoc. Prof. Zandro Estella – October 2022- Page No.: 642-648
The study aims to know the strategies used by the cooperatives in maintaining the commitment of its members in times of pandemic. The researchers used the qualitative method by conducting interviews to qualified key and secondary informants from the five (5) community-based multi-purpose cooperatives in Quezon City.
Results reveal that there are five (5) reasons why members display commitment in the cooperative, to wit: the benefits and rewards received from the organization; the trust established in the cooperatives, the fellowship enjoined by the members; the affirmation towards the members and the well-defined purpose of the organization, the study also highlighted the important role played by the coop leaders in addressing the concerns of its members during the crisis.

Implementation of Land Value Zone Regulation by the Land Office in the Ex-Besuki Residence
Iswi Hariyani, Bhim Prakoso, Rhama Wisnu Wardhana, Dodik Prihatin, Moh Ali. – October 2022- Page No.: 656-664
Soil is part of the earth’s surface that plays an important role in the life of living things. Humans use land to carry out all life activities. Ministry of Agrarian and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency, where the agrarian and spatial planning sector is managed by the Ministry of Agrarian and Spatial Planning (ATR), while the land sector is managed by BPN. As a result, there is a large difference between the asking prices. Symptoms of rising land prices without going through a fair market mechanism generally follow the pattern of land use. Article 16 Paragraph (1) Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 128 of 2015 states that the Land Value Zone is the market value determined by the Land Office of Jember Regency and Bondowoso Regency. Jember Regency and Bondowoso Regency as government representatives continue to improve land mapping methods and present information on Land Value Zone maps. These problems are: 1). What is the method used by the Land Office in the former Besuki Residency in determining accurate land value zoning?, 2). What is the relationship between Spatial Planning as one of the determinants of Land Value Zones?, 3). The former Besuki Residency Land Office in controlling land prices using the Land Value Zoning method? The method of analysis was carried out to determine the value of the soil in each zone and to find out the average indication value as the value of the soil indication used as the value of the land in each zone of land value (ZNT). The modeling results become a formulation for estimating the value of land in the future period. Thematic maps of Land Value Zones are represented by administrative areas. The estimation model of land value perception is a formulation model of land value perception which is the result of the model from year to year which has been updated and tested for reliability. So it can be concluded that the model results are close to the actual land value perception pattern that occurs in the field. The results of this modeling can be used as a formulation for updating land market value data at the Land Offices of Jember Regency and Bondowoso Regency, so that it can be a method for optimizing regional income through land tax revenues which will be managed by Jember Regency and Bondowoso Regency.

Mentoring in the Colleges of Education in Ghana: Challenges and The Way Forward
James Hinson, Collins Oppong Arthur, Habib Bipembi – October 2022- Page No.: 665-672
This study sought to examine the experiences of mentors in enriching teacher trainees (mentees) with basic competences needed in teaching. Teacher trainees are perceived as not developing the requisite professional skills and attitudes while at college. Mentoring aims at consolidating the theoretical approaches to education with relevant practical hands-on activities that is intended to equip the teacher trainees with the needed competences and skills. Effective mentoring is deemed to impact positively at helping teacher trainees in developing their professional competences required in teaching.
The study employed the descriptive survey design using the sequential mixed method approach. A questionnaire and cluster-based discussion interviews were employed to collect data on teachers who have been involved in mentoring teacher trainees in the partner schools. Purposive sampling was used in selecting all the 295 teachers involved in mentoring drawn from three mentoring clusters namely Cape Coast, Kissi-Abrobeano and Daboasi-Takoradi in the Western and Central regions of Ghana. Fifteen (15) mentors were engaged in Cluster-Based Discussion Interviews (CBDI) and Subject Teacher Based Interview (STBI) using a prepared interview guide to obtain information that validates the data obtained with the questionnaires.
The study concluded that there were no proper selection criteria put in place by Basic School heads to select competent mentors for the mentoring programme. The training regime put in place by the Colleges of Education to train mentors before taking up mentoring responsibilities did not make the desired impact since it fails to equip mentors with skills, attitudes and competencies needed for mentoring. Mentors were not adequately motivated and rewarded and this had resulted in mentor fatigue and apathy since the job of mentoring is a daunting one.
The study recommends that head teachers put in place proper selection criteria to select teachers with adequate professional experiences to be involved in mentoring teacher trainees. Again, the selected mentors should be engaged in regular training workshops and in-service training in order to become accustomed with modern innovative approaches to mentoring.

Social Media Use and The Promotion of Nollywood Movies’ Trailers Among Nigerian Youths
Odunlami, Olusegun Abimbola – October 2022- Page No.: 673-679
This study appraises the use of social media in promoting Nollywood movies. Movies have been adjudged to be most fascinating concept that enlighten, educate and entertain the masses. Movies advertisement had been a herculean task that if it does not lead to purchase, investment on such movies could be lost. The study adopts two theories of communication – Technological Determinism and Uses and Gratification theories. Survey research method was adopted to examine the phenomenon under study. Multi-variety questionnaire was constructed to answer the research questions and satisfy the set objectives. The population for this study was Nigerian youths with particular reference to youths in Ijebu North Local Government area of Ogun State with population of 284,336. Multi-stage sampling technique was adopted while Taro Yamane formula was used to determine the sample size of 339. Data were sourced from both primary and secondary sources. The primary sources are data gathered through structured questionnaire copies administered on the respondents while the secondary sources are from books, journals, websites, blogs, etc. Findings revealed that social media has become a promotional tool that is effective and that has resulted in increased sales of products and that respondents use search engines for movies trailers rather than the conventional method of going to cinema before one can know the oncoming movies. The study however recommends that Nollywood film producers should fully utilize social media advertising as it will definitely aid and facilitate easy promotion of their movies without additional cost and that movies trailers should be detailed and attractive to draw viewers to their official sites.

Distress Protocol for a PhD study exploring the Implementation of the Pregnancy Re-entry Policy among Stakeholders at Primary school level in Chongwe District, Zambia
Namakau Kakanda–Sinkala – October 2022- Page No.: 680-682
Teenage pregnancy amongst primary school girls in Zambia is considered to be a deviation from social norms of sex outside marriage. Moreover, school re-entry of teenage mothers is also against social norms. Therefore, a distress protocol for potential participants and the researcher is necessary to deal with psychological and emotional responses which might culminate from the sharing of experiences by the participants. The protocol also considers similar distress on the part of the researcher resulting from locating the participants and the information disclosed by participants. The research is qualitative in nature. This research is considered to be medium risk.

Influence of Devolved Systems on Health Service Delivery: A Case of Kajiado County, Kenya
Julius Lenin Ntayia, Dr. Edna Moi – October 2022- Page No.: 683-690
Devolution was introduced by the 2010 Constitution, allowing services such as Healthcare, Agriculture, Transport, and Cultural to be provided through county governments. The County governments have endeavoured to undertake these functions, albeit with a few difficulties. This study purposes to assess the influence of devolved governance on health services in level four hospitals in Kajiado County. The study examined the influence of the devolution of healthcare finance, healthcare management, and healthcare human resources on the delivery of healthcare services in the County. The study also examined the policies that could enhance the healthcare services delivery subject if enacted. Qualitative and quantitative research methods were used to actualize the study. The study was conducted in Kajiado Level Four Hospital Kajiado County with a target population of 500 participants from various sectors in Kajiado County. A sample of 100 participants selected from the total population representing twenty per cent was in the study. Data was collected by the use of questionnaires and scheduled interviews. Both primary and secondary data was be used in the study. Statistical methods through the SPSS program were used to analyse quantitative data. Visual such as figures and tabular presentations were used for the results of this study. During data collection, ethical considerations were respected and adhered to in full. The study observed that Kajiado Level Five Hospital received its financing primarily from the country government and a small proportion from Donor funding. Financing from National Governments was mainly through NHIF reimbursement and UHC-based disbursements from the ministry of health. Devolution has enhanced the administration of the hospital by equipping the leadership with decision-making freedom. This efficacy was noted among employees because the believed they were better off under county leadership than they were under national government. However, human resources at the hospital experienced a host of challenges including staff shortage and delayed payments.

Ethnopsychological Meaning of the Symptomatology of War Psychotrauma in Traditional Africa
Guy-Bertrand Ovambe Mbarga – October 2022- Page No.: 691-697
The thesis statement of this research is the ethnopsychological meaning of the symptomatology of war psychotrauma in traditional Africa. Here, the individual is considered as a person with four principles in. The purpose of the study is to understand the meaning of the signs and symptoms of war psychotrauma in traditional Africa. The research used the clinical method which is based on the natural observation of facts. It refers to the totality of situations, to the singularity of individuals, to the concrete aspect of situations, to their dynamics, to their genesis and to their meaning. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five psycho-traumatized war soldiers. The results show that the psychotraumatic symptomatology is the expression of an attack on the fundamental psychic principles. It concerns the violation of the biophysiological principle, which is similar to the avoidance and revival syndromes; impairment of the vital principle which is akin to neurophysiological syndrome; of breaking in of the spiritual principle which is similar to dissociative symptoms. The study allowed the development of the cultural theoretical model of war psychotrauma from the approach of the conflict of relation of Sow.

Youth Employment, Security and Poverty in Nigeria
Abubakar Haruna, Zipporah Oyigbenu Elijah, Hussaina Abdullahi Yarima – October 2022- Page No.: 698-701
This paper seeks to explore the interrelation between youth employment, security and poverty in Nigeria using content analysis. Despite government initiatives or programmes on youth empowerment, there has been increasing issues and challenges with respect to youth empowerment, including youth unemployment, increasing crimes and criminality such as armed robbery, kidnapping, drug abuse, oil theft, banditry, Biafra agitation and Boko Haram menace, among others. No doubt, these issues and challenges have implications for national security in Nigeria. The study analyses the nexus between unemployment/employment and security challenges as well as poverty and security. We conclude that unemployment and high rate of poverty constitute a threat to the security situation of Nigeria. Unemployment leads to poverty, and poverty creates insecurity. It recommended among others that, only good governance can guarantee peace and security in the present-day Nigeria. Government budgetary allocation should be focused on the social and human security rather than physical approach to national security.

Impacts of Language Use in Conflict and Conflict Resolution among Senior and Junior Secondary School Principals in Ebonyi State, Nigeria
Nwani-Grace UGWU & Kingsley Onwuka AGBIOLE – October 2022- Page No.: 702-709
The study was carried out to access the impacts of language use in conflict and conflict resolution among principals of senior and junior secondary schools in Ebonyi State. To guide the study, three research questions were formulated. Literatures by scholars that are relevant to the study were reviewed to close existing gap in scholarship. The design of the study was descriptive survey. The population consisted of all the principals in all the government-owned secondary schools in the education zones of the five South Eastern states. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select 30% of the public secondary schools in the South Eastern States of Nigeria, and each state in the South East formed a stratum. All the principals (both senior and junior) from the schools selected were used. A 31-item researcher-developed questionnaire was constructed, validated, trial-tested and used to elicit data from the respondents. The administration of the instrument was done by the researchers and three research assistants in three education zones from each of the states. Data obtained were presented and analyzed using frequency and simple percentage to answer the research questions. The study revealed that principals in the study area do not show consideration for the feelings of their counterparts in interaction, although they converse calmly and amicably with their counterparts; majority of the respondents prefer to apply strategies for avoiding conflict instead of those for minimizing conflict after it has ensued. The researchers recommended, among other things that, in addition to conversing calmly and amicably with their counterparts, principals in the study area must begin to show consideration for the feelings of their counterparts in interaction

Wildlife Security and International Relations
Waweru J., Dr Anita Kiamba – October 2022- Page No.: 720-724
Kenya is endowed with an enormous biodiversity of ecosystems and wildlife species. This rich wildlife together with other attractions has for decades made the country an important tourist destination and hub for the lucrative tourist industry. Nonetheless, wildlife species continue to face threats such as commercial poaching for trophies and human wildlife conflicts that hinder their survival. It is important to mitigate these threats to ensure wildlife species do not go extinct and Kenya continues to pull tourists into the country. The absence of wildlife security poses a threat to international relations. This is because wildlife crimes increase global crime rates that often lead to instability in the global arena. Furthermore, wildlife crime has, throughout history, been a source of funding for rebel groups, militias and extremist groups like the Alshabaab in Somalia. These groups undermine good governance and development efforts of states. This study aims at analyzing the key threats to wildlife security in Kenya and international relations, examining the severity of wildlife threats both locally in Kenya and globally and establishing probable solutions that can be tailor-made to address threats to wildlife security in Kenya and international relations

Ogunlade Bamidele Olusola Ph.D, OYELEYE Bolanle Oluwatosin, James Adedeji, AJAYI Ph.D – October 2022- Page No.: 725-730
This study examines the knowledge of blended learning in supporting teacher-teaching efforts in secondary schools in Ekiti state. This study explores how teacher teaching endeavours can support blended learning adoption. Teachers’ time preparing for their classes is included in their teaching effort. The paper thoroughly analyses the fascinating literature from the standpoint of view. The study’s findings recommend that teachers’ perceptions of the attraction of Blended Learning are significant and that such internet-based learning should be introduced alongside traditional learning methods. Incorporating suitable blended learning tools can aid in fostering and supporting collaborative teaching and learning environments for students. Teachers should be ready to put in the time and work needed to learn more about blended learning and figure out the best ways to do things.

Life of Javanese women in literature text and the real world
Esti Ismawati, Indiyah Prana Amertawengrum, Sukini – October 2022- Page No.: 731-739
This study explores Javanese women in real life and in old and new Indonesian literary texts. History records how unequal the roles of Javanese women and men are in real life. The method used is structural hermeneutics. The question is how is the relationship between women and men in Javanese society embodied in life and literary texts? Gender and ethnographic approaches with content analysis were used to analyse literary texts as data sources. The main data is in the form of sentence excerpts taken from the text. The view-note-and-engage technique was adopted in data collection. Secondary data were taken from middle-class and upper-class women with in-depth interviews. All data were triangulated with the interpretation of Javanese cultural experts. The results show that women in literature and life play the role of queens such as Ratu Shima, Ratu Kencanawungu, but there are also women who are still confined because of the hegemony of male power such as the character Rapiah in the novel Salah Asuhan. There are also women who play a greater role in the socio-economic field. However, they have not been able to achieve full gender equality. The implication of this research is the need for women to make new history by seizing the role of equality needed in an egalitarian life, by achieving achievements in education, work, and the need for social care for other women and their families .

A Causal Model of Managerial Effectiveness for Managers of Water Service Providers in Davao Region XI, Philippines
Anabelle O. Chagas, Gloria P. Gempes – October 2022- Page No.: 740-748
This study determined the best fit model of managerial effectiveness among managers of water service providers based on knowledge management, personal skills, and emotional labor of six public water utility providers in Davao Region, one of the regions of the Philippines, designated as Region XI. The Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was utilized in this study with a sample of 400 respondents who were employees of the different water utility providers in Region XI. Sets of adapted survey questionnaires were used to obtain data from the respondents, which were subjected to content validity and reliability analysis. The data were analyzed using the Mean, Pearson-r, and Structural Equation Model. The results reveal that the levels of knowledge management, personal skills, and emotional labor strategies of managers among water service providers are very high. Moreover, a significant relationship existed between these variables. The best fit model (hypothesized model 5) revealed a significant relationship between knowledge management and personal skills as exogenous variables predicting the endogenous variable managerial effectiveness.

An Appraisal of Farmer-Grazier Conflicts Resolutions in The Dairy Districts of Bui Division (DDBD)
Anastasia Kininla Kongnyuy, Loveline Kongla Nsahlai, Harry Mairomi Wirngo & Riddley Mbiybe Ngala – October 2022- Page No.: 749-755
Despite governments’ efforts in Sub-Saharan Africa to solve land use crisis, farmer-grazier conflicts persist in localities where grazing is practiced. This paper aims at assessing farmer-grazier conflict resolutions in the Dairy Districts of Bui Division (DDBD) by the Tadu Dairy Cooperative Society (TDCS). A mixed research approach was used in this study; primary data was acquired via questionnaires, interview guides, and direct and indirect observations. It was realized that the cooperative crossbreed cattle of smallholders by way of artificial insemination (88%) thereby improving the variety and yield of cattle reared. Farmers’ income has been boosted (94%). Rural women have been encouraged/integrated into the rearing of high-yielding new breeds (68%). The cooperative has been training graziers on the new practice of stall-feeding; and keeps smallholders’ animals on its ranch (79.3%). Because of all these, the quest for more grazing land that usually caused conflicts between farmers and graziers has reduced. Nevertheless, governments should encourage the creation of dairy cooperatives in areas where cattle are reared to enhance the resolution of farmer-grazier conflicts that have often retarded sustainable development within communities due to loss of property and long-lasting enmity.

Factors Affecting the Number of Live Children Per Woman in Egypt Using Poisson Regression Model
Mostafa Sayed Mostafa Abd – El Hameed El Misery – October 2022- Page No.: 756-758
The overall fertility rate in Egypt is to be decreased from 3.5% children per woman to 2.4% by 2030, which is one of the most significant sustainable development goals. Egypt’s overall fertility rate began to increase in 2008, peaking at 3.5 births per woman in 2014. (Ministry of Health and Population et al). The study focuses on the demographic, social, and cultural aspects that are crucial in reducing the overall number of children born to each woman. In order to identify the background factors that can contribute to a decrease in the total number of children ever born for each woman, we used the Egypt Demographic and Health Survey 2014 data [EDHS-2014]. The study provides in-depth information on Egypt’s demographic, socioeconomic variables as well as birth events. The data include 4,336 married women 15 to 49 years. The Poisson regression model is used in the paper’s analysis of the data. According to the study, the most significant characteristics that contribute to a decrease in the number of children per woman include education level attained, exposure to family planning messages, place of residence, wealth index, female employment, and contraceptive use. One of the most recommendations for this study is that the government continues its support for investments in education and improve the standard of living programs. The results show that the government has to increase the number of family planning service locations and step up its efforts to target fertility control.

Relationship Between Export and Economic Growth in Nigeria from 1986-2021
Atiman Kasima Wilson, Umar Hafiz Bubari & Amina Bala Usman – October 2022- Page No.: 759-762
All government of the world is faced with the challenges of poverty reduction, improve revenue generation, reduction in both external and domestic borrowing, and efficient allocation of resources. Many studies have showed that export has the capacity to achieve the aforementioned goals. Export is to send goods and services to another country for sale; it can also be seen as goods and services that are produced in one country and sold in another country. Whereas, there are mixed opinions by scholars about the relationship between export and economic growth, this study set out to investigate the relationship between export and economic growth in Nigeria in the period 1986-2021. The specific objective was also, to examine the trend in export and economic growth in Nigeria in the period 1986-2021. The study employed the secondary method of data collection. Time series data was collected from World Development Indicators 2021. The study employed the unit root test, co integration test and vector autoregressive technique (VAR) model with the use of Eviews 10 package to achieve the objectives of the study. The study found that export had positive relationship on economic growth during the period 1986- 2021. The study further recommended among others, restructuring of the oil sector in Nigeria in order to improve the foreign exchange revenue generated from crude oil and liquefied natural gas.

Impacts of Sisyphean Socio-Political Instability on Tourism in Belo Subdivision, North West Region-Cameroon
Nfor Delphine Mbongsi and Nges Marcel – October 2022- Page No.: 771-778
Tourism as an act of leisure and recreation is the main income generator in the world today. In sub Saharan Africa (SSA), tourism has surfaced as one of the leading industries that provide economic benefits to independent governments. Although it is beneficial to economic development, the decision to travel by a tourist is influenced by a sound social cohesive environment void of political instability, violence, and terrorism. The Sisyphean socio-political instability existing between the state and separatists in the restive Northwest and Southwest regions of Cameroon denotes an obstacle to the tourism industry in Belo subdivision in the Northwest Region of Cameroon. The continuous weight exerted by the socio-political instability on tourism in Belo subdivision attracts research effort. To assess this continuous weigh, qualitative and quantitative methods of data sourcing were employed for secondary and primary data collection. Related literature was reviewed alongside oral histories captured through interviews, informal discussions, and questionnaire administration to 68 respondents in households as well as field observation which constituted methods of data procurement for the analysis of the impacts of the Sisyphean socio-political instability the subdivision. Quantitative data were processed and presented in the form of tables and graphics for descriptive analysis while qualitative data were processed using in-vivo codes, analytical codes and themes. Results reveal that 76.47% of rural residents acknowledged a decrease in the value of the touristic potentials while 89.5% confirmed that most of the potentials are covered with overgrown vegetation. Results also reveal that 75.6% agreed that there is a decrease in the number of visitors. To transcend this unabated instability, both state and separatist leaders should come to a consensus and give peace a chance. The subdivision should be granted incentives for infrastructural renovation around touristic potentials sites.

Understanding the Relationship between Religiosity and Mental Health: A Sociological Study on the University students in Bangladesh
Md. Ferdaush Hossain – October 2022- Page No.: 779-784
The purpose of the study is to determine whether there is a connection between religiosity and mental health as well as the contribution of religion to safeguarding the mental health of Bangladeshi youths. The study consulted current, pertinent writing on religion and health-related concerns. Additionally, information was gathered from 150 respondents using a cluster sampling and purposive sampling technique. This study demonstrates how religious convictions, behaviors, and health problems are related. It suggests that religion and mental health have a beneficial association. Additionally, it implies that young people’s mental health can be safeguarded by their religiosity. The study findings challenge the social belief that religion is not the only remedy of mental illness but an important one. However, while those who lack religious passion also have good mental health conditions, those who are religiously enthusiastic do not always have it. Therefore, a strong religious commitment is not required to be mentally healthy.

Youth Participation in Community Development in Eastern Uganda
Okullo Awany Andrew Job – October 2022- Page No.: 785-791
The study investigated youth participation in community development in Eastern Uganda. Specifically, the study assessed youth awareness of their need to participate in annual planning, budgeting processes and decision making in the development of their communities, and the obstacles that hinder their participation in the development of their communities. The study employed descriptive survey design, and 305 respondents. Questionnaires and focus group discussions were the main instruments used for data collection. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and linear regression. The study revealed that the youth were no aware of their need to participate in the annual planning, budgeting processes and decision making. Furthermore, the factors that hindered their participation in community development included among others lack of information, bureaucracy, low level of education, political affiliation, corruption, gender inequality, and poverty. The study further revealed that there is a positive and significant effect of youth participation on community development (adjusted R2 = .363, p = 0.000). The study recommended that leaders must purposefully engage young people to participate in maters that directly affect them during the planning and budgeting process, and a variety of strategies, including capacity building and education, can help increase youth participation

Contemporary Issues on Usage of Humour and Drama Advertising Appeals in Television Advertising in Nigeria: A Conceptual Review
AJILORE Kolade Ph.D., & AROWA O. Oladipo – October 2022- Page No.: 792-799
Humour and drama appeals have become one of the most widely employed communication tactics in advertising; yet, our understanding of this advertising genre’s challenges still needs to be updated, as most of the literature on the subject, particularly drama, needs to be updated. In the meantime, concerns about their effectiveness continue to arise. Concepts, methods, models, types, and elements of humour and drama were examined through conceptual review. Premised on the Elaboration Likelihood Model of Persuasion (ELM) theory, which explains how persuasion occurs and the strength of attitudes formed as a result of those processes, the paper concludes that while humour and drama are not a guarantee of better ads, their impact can be enhanced with careful consideration of the goals, audience, and situation. In addition, since this paper is only a conceptual review, it is anticipated that it will contribute to a further explanation of humour and drama and their mediating role in the relationship between advertising appeals and consumer intention. This may then be further investigated to yield empirical findings about the dynamic nature of these advertising genres

Effect of Geographic Information System on Urban Land Administration in Enugu, Nigeria
Ekwunife Chidubem Azie, Charles Chukwunwike Egolum, Celestine Udoka Ugonabo – October 2022- Page No.: 804-809
Numerous indications suggest that the goals of land administration are bedeviled by inefficiencies such as title document duplicity, delayed processes and ineffective land use monitoring. To address these land administration ineptitudes, policy makers, practitioners and academics have attenuated the adoption of information and communication technology facets such as geographic information systems (GIS). In response, the study investigated the effect of this technology on urban land administration in Enugu, Nigeria using GIS as proxy. Descriptive research design was employed over a population of 411 employees of the Enugu State Ministry of Lands, Survey and Town Planning. Given the manageable nature of the population, a census study was conducted. Data was collected from primary sources using structured questionnaire, and analysis employed Spearman Rank Order Correlation as a result of the nonparametric nature of the data collected. Findings show significant positive correlations between ArcGIS data management and duplicity attenuation (r=.928; p<.01), data efficiency and customer responsiveness (r=.937; p<.01), and remote sensing data capture and land use monitoring for sustainability in the study area (r=.790; p<.01). The study concluded that effect of GIS on urban land administration in Enugu was significantly positive. It was therefore recommended that recruitment and training of requisite ArcGIS, Geomedia and remote sensing competencies be made by the Ministry to alleviate duplicity of title documents, enhance customer responsiveness and environmental impacts of land use in Enugu, Nigeria.

Darlington-Peter Chibuzor UGOJI, and Sunday Emmanuel Ucha – October 2022- Page No.: 810-812
Introduction: The Association of Catholic Medical Practitioners of Nigeria (ACMPN) unites all Catholic medical doctors and dental surgeons in all the 56 dioceses across the Nigerian country. It works to promote personal and group evangelization, foster professional excellence and Catholic medical ethics. However, it is faced with membership challenge and poor attendance to meetings. In Abakaliki Diocese, the association started in 2006 and is still faced with this same problem. Hence, the need to identify the causes and proffer solutions.
Methodology: A Google form was created and circulated on the association’s whatsapp platform for 7 months. Information on the knowledge of the association, membership registration, last attendant to monthly meetings, reasons for not attending meetings and suggested ways of improvement were gotten and analyzed manually.
Result: The knowledge of ACMPN among catholic medical practitioners in Abakaliki diocese was not in doubt. However majority didn’t attend meeting within the last one year with reasons centered on venue, timing and day. Most persons didn’t specify reasons for non-attendants to monthly. Need for more sensitization, Follow up of members through visitation, shifting the time, change in day, prayers and departmental hosting/membership drive were mostly suggested as ways for improvement.
Conclusion: The knowledge of the association among supposed members are not in doubt, so there is need for intensified sensitization and mobilization, home visitation and consideration of time shifting downward to see if it will improve attendance

The Effect of Mother Tongue on Grade 4 Learners when Learning English as a Second Language: Case Study of Kavango East Region in Namibia
Natalia S. Intja, Arminda D. Henda, Secilia N. Kangodi – October 2022- Page No.: 820-824
The study examined the effects of mother tongue on the academic achievement of Namibia’s senior primary school learners in grade 4 studying English as a Second language who also speak Rukwangali, Rumanyo and Thimbukushu. Language is a significant phenomenon without which it is impossible to successfully educate learners in a classroom. The study focuses on Namibian learner’ English Second language learning. English was adopted in Namibia as an official language in 199o, since then, English has been the country’s recognised official language. In Namibia’s primary and secondary schools, English is a required subject as well as a medium of instruction from senior primary to higher institutions of learning. The usage of English in learners’ interactions in the classroom today is not enforced with much effort. Mother tongues (Rukwangali, Rumanyo and Thimbukushu) may have an impact on how well learners learn English. From several schools in Namibia’s Kavango east region, three groups of 60 senior primary learners with three different mother tongues: Rukwangali, Rumanyo and Thimbukushu were randomly chosen. The null hypothesis is maintained by CHI-SQUARE ANYLYSIS. The analysis demonstrates that no mother tongue has a distinctive impact on the process of learning English

Developing Rukwangali Language Student Teachers of Reflective Practice Through Lesson Reflection
Natalia S. Intja, Irmgard Moyo, Erwina M. Karupu – October 2022- Page No.: 825-828
Lesson reflection is crucial for instructors’ ongoing professional development, according to a wealth of literature in teacher education. In actuality, lesson reflection is a requirement that every teacher must carry out at the conclusion of every session provided. An effective teacher is required to reflect on each lesson effectively and critically after it has been taught. This a qualitative study which plugs its thrusts into John Dewey’s and Schön concept of reflective practice. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the value of lesson reflection to Rukwangali student teachers and to understand the reasoning behind their distaste for it. 50 Rukwangali student teachers were purposefully chosen, and they were divided into 5 groups of 10 students each. Focused group discussions were used to collect data, which was then analysed thematically to identify emerging themes. The results show that student teachers are well aware of class reflection, its value, and the proper timing for doing it. Their only issue is that they lack knowledge and prefer to do tasks when there is pressure to submit them for grading
