Information and Communication Technology in Rural Healthcare and Social Welfare Service Provision in Ghana – Prospects in the Face of Social Inequalities
Paul Kwaku Larbi Anderson, Johannes Schädler, Lars Wissenbach – December 2022- Page No.: 08-15
In recent times, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are being adopted more widely and variously by local governments across the globe to enhance citizens’ participation in the socio-political decision-making process. Potentially, ICTs, if properly designed and implemented, can improve civic participation in the context of information dissemination, request and feedback, and direct engagement in local policy debates in various areas of public service delivery. This paper presents the findings of a study that examined the prospects of enhancing citizens’ participation in local governance and development through ICTs in rural Ghanaian communities. The main objective was to explore the potential of ICTs to facilitate communication relating to social welfare and health-related services between rural dispersed communities and local government structures. The study was conducted in two purposefully selected municipalities, one being Nsawam-Adoagyiri, and the other Suhum, both situated in the Eastern Region of Ghana. Through community engagements and participatory design, digital competence, and the use of ICT tools for communication and participation in local governance were explored with the primary focus on public service delivery relating to health and social care.

Women’s Progress and Challengage: A Feminist Study of Chuadanga District
Md. Eftekhairul – December 2022- Page No.: 16-25
Women are very inferior in every sector of the sphere of human life. Illiterate mothers or fathers cannot make well-decision and cannot contribute fruitful ideas at the family, society, national and international levels as well. Women are identified as men’s names. They are not, according to recognition, normal beings in the patriarchal society; women have accepted their fate and many of them started enjoying this status as well. Although they carry and flourish their lord’s name being empowered and developed, they are not out of greedy sight of men who are women’s fathers, brothers, and sons as well. Continuously women are violated, depressed, and victimized for sex even though they are young or old; child or daughter; it does not matter to the men except lust. The underestimation to women affects the confidence of women and under-scales women’s educational inspiration. The article attempts how women and adolescent girls are underestimated and considered a matter of nothing in the civilized modern world by physical torture like single rape, seduction, and gang rape; the result is to be death for the safety of males. The scope of this work is to recheck Bangladeshi women’s contribution in feminism through literature and to unfold the untold challenges among students of educational institutes in Bangladesh. The article aimed to term ‘feminism as F-independence’ and ‘M-independance’.

The Impact of Capital Budgeting on Economic Growth in Ghana
Frederick Forkuo Yeboah – December 2022- Page No.: 30-37
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of capital budgeting on economic growth as well as the causal relationship between capital budgeting and economic growth in Ghana. The study employed secondary data from the World Development Indicators (WDI) and Ministry of Finance, Ghana, annual data spanning from 1990 to 2021 which was estimated with Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) cointegration technique. The findings revealed that there was statistically significant long run relationship between capital budgeting and economic growth from the bounds test. Again, capital budgeting significantly relates negatively to economic growth in both long and short run in Ghana. the study found out that Ghana’s capital expenditure is mostly spent on unproductive ventures. There were no causal relations between capital budgeting and economic growth in Ghana. The study recommends that government and policy makers should urgently direct capital budget to productive capital ventures with good returns and short payback period.

Daniel Gata Abalas, Keswet Larai Andrew (Ph.D), Michael Segun Abifarin (Ph.D) – December 2022- Page No.: 60-64
The study sought to examine the effects of simulation strategy on senior secondary school Biology academic achievement in Plateau Northern Senatorial Zone, Nigeria. Two specific objectives and two research questions were raised and two hypotheses formulated and tested at .05 level of significance. Quasi-experimental research design, specifically the pre-test-post-test non-equivalent control group design was used in the conduct of this study. The population of the study consisted of all the 5130 SS II Biology students, 2795 males and 2335 females). The sample size was 74 SS II Biology students, which consisted of the experimental group with 44 students (19 males and 25 females), and control group with 30 students (17 males and 13 females). The instruments used for the study was, Human Circulatory System Achievement Test (HCSAT) which was developed and validated by the researcher. The research questions raised were answered using mean and standard deviation while the hypotheses formulated were tested using ANCOVA and ANOVA. The study showed that the achievement mean scores of the experimental group was higher than the mean scores of the control group after treatment. This signifies that simulation strategy improves students’ achievement more than the traditional method of teaching Biology. The study recommended the need for teachers to used simulation strategy in teaching so as to improve students’ achievement in Biology

Learning to Learn Competencies at Omani Cycle Two Schools: Students’ Perceptions and EFL Teachers’ Beliefs
Al Oufi, Safiya Jamil shames and Abdo Mohammed Al-Mekhlafi – December 2022- Page No.: 65-73
This study aimed to investigate Omani Cycle Two students’ perceptions and Omani English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ beliefs regarding students learning autonomy. Three main areas of learning to learn competencies were explored to investigate learning autonomy: learning skills, the ability to take control of learning, and reflecting and evaluating learning. The study uses a mixed-method research design to investigate the perceptions of 383 grade nine students in Oman using a questionnaire. Also, four female English teachers who were teaching grade nine in the academic year 2021/2022 were interviewed in a focus group. The quantitative data analysis of the learning autonomy questionnaire indicated that grade nine students held moderated beliefs in their learning skills, ability to take control of their learning, and the ability to reflect and evaluate their learning. However, the teachers believed that students need to be trained and directed to acquire learning to learn competencies.

AITCHEDJI Magloire Fortuné Landry, GADO Issaou, HOUESSOU Dossou Y. Patrick- December 2022 Page No.: 74-79
In Benin, to support the promotion of sexual health education, the government has made the improvement of sexual and gender health conditions in schools one of its priorities. The introduction of technological tools, Internet access (ADSL/Wifi) and the growing importance of the use of digital social networks by many school children in Benin constitute a challenge for the entire educational community. In order to respond to the lack of digital educational materials to improve knowledge and change attitudes towards sexual health among adolescents and young people, we designed a digital tool, in the form of a sexual health education application, and then used it as educational materials in several high schools and colleges in Benin. After the experimental use of the application in the chosen school environment, a survey was conducted to study the attitudes of adolescent students towards this mode of learning. The results obtained show a general increase in learners’ interest in sexual health education through the device. Learning seems to have a more playful aspect that keeps learners engaged and maximizes accessibility to key concepts in sexual health education. However, further data collection from learners is needed before appropriate ways to integrate sex education can be deduced. The long-term impact of the application needs to be studied further in order to reach more formal and decisive conclusions.

The Status of Prison Education in Selected Correctional Facilities of Western Zambia.
Mate Situmbeko and Kalisto Kalimaposo- December 2022 Page No.: 80-88
This study investigated the status of rehabilitation education in selected correctional facilities of Western Zambia. The study was located within an interpretive qualitative paradigm and used an embedded case study approach built on the premise that reality has multiple layers and is complex. The study involved 43 participants selected through purposive sampling techniques from three correctional institutions in Western Zambia. Data was mainly collected through one-to-one interview. Focus group discussions and observation were also used to triangulate data obtained through one-to-one interviews. The objectives of the study were; to establish the nature of teaching and learning in selected correctional centres; to investigate the learning environment in selected correctional centres, to assess the benefit of correctional education provided in correctional centres to inmates and to find out the challenges faced in the provision of correctional education in selected correctional facilities of Western Zambia. The study observed that learner centred methods were limited, teachers could not apply methods like group discussions due to various factors. The study also revealed that correctional education centres were grossly under resourced in terms of teaching and learning materials. Classroom infrastructure was inadequate and not conducive for learning. The study recommended inter alia that correctional centres should be more receptive to other stakeholders and partner with other organisations in addressing their educational challenges. Additionally, curriculum review should be considered to suit the needs of inmates as most of them were adults.

Influence of English language proficiency on tertiary level education
Gopika.N and Kaveevendan.K- December 2022 Page No.: 89-96
English is an international language, which is essential for interpersonal communication across the world. It is considered to be a common language in the field of education, business, trade, and commerce. It is found from the research studies that imparting proficiency in the English language should begin right from the school level education. Thus, the present study was carried out to assess the influence of English language proficiency on tertiary-level education in a target undergraduate student population (second year in biological sciences) at the Faculty of Science, Eastern University, Sri Lanka. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Collected data were analyzed by Excel software (Windows 10.0) to assess the significant influence of English language proficiency in tertiary education. In the current study, the sex ratio (male and female) was nearly 2:1 (63% and 37%) respectively. The national
school students showed a more successful rate for university entrance than provincial school. Further, the highest frequent usage of English than their mother tongue was noticed among university teachers (84%) when compared with school teachers (40%). Furthermore, the analysis showed that the majority of the students are using the English language in the university (87%), then school (40%). Most of the students were highly engaged in writing (94%), listening (83%), and reading rather than speaking skills (53%). Usage of the English language was higher (100%) in university education than in schools. Hence, the pass rate of English language proficiency was high at the tertiary level than the secondary level. Thus, this study recommends that school teachers should frequently use English in order to communicate with students while teaching.

Legacy Leadership Competency among Public Elementary School Heads at Bago City Philippines: Practices and Organizational Thrust
Reynan S. Tongcua, Maylin M. Tongcua, Trudy C. Cerbo- December 2022 Page No.: 105-109
This descriptive research determined the level of competency of school heads in terms of the five best practices of legacy leadership as assessed by the school heads, teachers, non-teaching personnel, and PTA members. Conducted during school year 2020-2021, the study also focused on the organizational thrusts and legacies that the school heads wanted to leave in their organization in terms of administration, curriculum and instruction, research and community and extension. Weighted mean and frequency count were used for descriptive analyses, and Kruskal Wallis was used for inferential analyses. The level of legacy leadership competency as self-assessed by the school heads was very high whether they were taken as a group or were categorized according to age, sex, length of service, and educational qualifications. The teachers, non-teaching personnel, and PTA members rated the legacy leadership competency in all practices to a very high level. The teachers and the school heads, and the PTA members and the school heads differed significantly in their assessments of competency particularly in the role of school heads as Advocator of Differences and the Community, and as Calibrator of Responsibility and Accountability. In aadministration, the school heads prioritize the development of an organizational culture of transparency, productivity, punctuality, and optimism which is the legacy that they want to leave in their schools. In curriculum and instruction, the school heads underscore the importance of the delivery of instruction based on curriculum that is “Maka-diyos, Makatao, Makabansa, and Makakalikasan”, the quality of curriculum and instruction as legacy that they want to leave in their organizations. In research, the administrative thrust of the school heads hinges upon the generation of relevant, useful, profound, collaborative, and published researches which are the legacy that they want to offer to their organizations. In Community Involvement, the school heads put their administrative thrust on the establishment of community involvement programs that are based on committedness, kindness, and cooperativeness, a robust community engagement that they want to leave as legacy to their schools.

Impact of Village Savings and Loan Associations on Food Security in Zimbabwe: A Case Study of Marange Community in Mutare District.
Dereck Moyo (Mr) and Tough Chinoda (PhD)- December 2022 Page No.: 110-124
Objective: The study aimed at evaluating the impact of the Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) on food security.
Methods: Guided by a pragmatist philosophy, the study applied mixed methods approach with an exploratory sequential design beginning with qualitative research phase. It explored the views of participants from four focus group discussions (FGDs) and seven key informant interviews (KIIs) to identify and specify variables to be measured through the second phase which was quantitative research. The quantitative phase used a household survey questionnaire to collect data from 204 respondents exclusive of participants of the first phase. Data from FGDs was analysed using NVivo, while One-Way ANOVA Test was used to analyze data from individual households.
Results: The results showed that non-VSLAs members experience poor food availability and utilization throughout the year. Participation in VSLAs increased household food availability by 0.349 and utilization of food by 0.222, as evidenced by eating of balanced meal by household members. The results also indicated that participation in VSLAs led to better access to food, and stability of access, availability and utilization of food than non-VSLAs households.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that there is a positive relationship between household’s participation in VSLAs and its food security.

Adolescents’ Physical Development on Personality Traits Development Among Boys in Public Day Secondary Schools in Kirinyaga East Sub County.
Kezzy Wawira Wanjira, Ann Muiru, Dr. Benson Njoroge- December 2022 Page No.: 125-131
Personality traits development is a problem portrayed among boys, especially at adolescence age. This study sought to assess the influence of learners’ physical development on personality traits development behaviour among form two boys in public secondary schools in Kirinyaga East Sub County. This study was guided by Adolescence Developmental Tasks theory. This study used mixed research methodology and concurrent triangulation design where descriptive survey research design was used to collect qualitative data and phenomenological design to collect qualitative data. The target population was 136 form masters/mistresses, 136 form class teachers, 68 HODs of Guidance and Counseling department, 1173 form 2 and 1011 form 3 students in 34 public day secondary schools. The sample size was 345 respondents. Purposive, stratified and simple random sampling was used to select respondents. The study used questionnaires and informant interviews to collect data. Piloting of the research instruments was conducted in order to ascertain their validity and reliability. Thematic analysis was used to analyze qualitative data, which were then presented in narratives and reports. Quantitative data was evaluated with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 utilizing descriptive and inferential statistics. Percentages, frequencies, mean, and standard deviation are examples of descriptive statistics. Correlations and regression analysis were utilized inferentially. Tables were used to present the analyzed data. The study findings showed that physical adjustments have a positive and significant influence on personality traits development (β=0. 138, p<0.05). The study concluded that students have experienced physical adjustments such as experiencing deepening of their voice, shoulders broadened and faces changed influencing personality traits development. The study recommends that teachers should provide reading and research opportunities that enable students to acquire information regarding adolescents’ developmental such as storybooks, novels, and research-based books.

Land Allocation and Conflicts among Refugees and Host Communities, A case of Nakivale and Oruchinga Refugee Settlements in Western Uganda
Atukwatse Judith, Dr. Ogbona Chidiebere- December 2022 Page No.: 132-138
The increase in the number of refugees due to different situations that threaten human security has become a global problem manifested in societal, governmental and international levels (Steimel 2021). Uganda is among the top refugee-hosting countries in Africa and the world with 1.4million refugees (UNHCR, 2019). The government adopted an approach of accommodating refugees by placing them in settlements within communities and granting them access to basic resources like land, water and others services, which they at times share with host community members (Lomba, 2010).Uganda’s progressive refugee policy has not effectively addressed the issue of land allocation and conflicts between refugees and host communities as land is continuously becoming scarce due to increase in population (Bjørkhaug, 2020). While several refugee-related studies have been conducted worldwide, little is known about the conflict between refugees and host-community in western Uganda-a gap this study hoped to address. The objective sought to examine how land allocation to refugees leads to conflicts between refugees and host-communities of Nakivale and Oruchinga. The study was guided by Conflict theory propounded by (Bartos, 2002), as derived from the ideas of Karl Marx in 1848. A case study research design was adopted, where qualitative and quantitative approaches were used in data collection. The study found various probable causes of land conflicts between refugees and host communities in Nakivale and Oruchinga to include: inadequate consultation by the government with the host communities prior to the establishment of refugee camps and settlements; lack of direct and clear information from the government to the communities about the tenure of land occupation by refugees; cultural differences between the refugees and host community, which has resulted in lack of trust and breach of harmony among the two groups. Also, it was found that climate change with its attendant impact on environmental degradation has exacerbated scarcity of arable land, leading to resources conflict between refugees and host community members in Nakivale and Oruchinga. The study concludes that lack of prior engagement of key stakeholders in the processes of land allocation mostly host communities and proper demarcation of land between host communities and refugees will always lead to continuous conflicts in Nakivale and Oruchinga. This implies that there is need for timely consultations with the host communities, sensitization of refugees and host communities on peaceful co-existence and involvement of all key stakeholders before and during land allocation processes.

The study investigated the impact of chemistry practicals on students’ performance in chemistry of public secondary schools of Nasarawa state, Nigeria. The study was conducted in Akwanga, Nasarawa-Eggon and Wamba LGA in Nasarawa North Senatorial zone. This study utilized a quantitative approach, with a quasi-experimental design. The design was in form of pre and post-test. Questionnaire was used to collect data. The main population for the study comprised all the public secondary schools offering chemistry in the zone from which 15 sample schools was selected using a combination of stratified, purposive and systematic sampling procedures. It involved 30 chemistry teachers `and 300 SS2 chemistry students comprising 200 boys and 100 girls. Descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation were used and independent samples t-tests. The study established that the use of chemistry practicals in teaching and learning of chemistry at secondary schools greatly improved performance. The findings shows that there was a significant difference in performance between students who studied chemistry through practicals and those who studied chemistry without practicals. The study recommends intensive in-service training for chemistry teachers in practical work management and latest research to improve their practices.

Affliction and Frightened Laughter in the Song “Covid” by a Kenyan Gusii musician, Henry Sagero
Felix Ayioka Orina, Christopher Okemwa – December 2022- Page No.: 143-153
Laughter in the face of affliction and looming danger can be an outrageous act bordering on taboo. Indeed, any attempt to make light of a matter as grave as Covid-19, a pandemic that has occasioned endemic fright and a global existential crisis of a magnitude never witnessed before, can only confirm one’s callousness or, at best, be evidence that the concerned party has lost it and is now displaying signs of severe mental distress. Fear, anxiety, distress, panic and terror would be the more typical reaction, some art produced in the aftermath of Covid-19 reveals a tendency towards the comic. A case in point is the song “Covid” by Henry Sagero. The present paper seeks to examine the aesthetic value of humorous representations in life-threatening circumstances with reference to the song titled “Covid” by Henry Sagero of Bonyakoni Kirwanda Band—a popular music artist from Kisii County, Kenya. The focus will be on establishing the link between the artist’s perception of the existing threat, his conception and deployment of humorous images and, ultimately, the audience’s anticipated participation (or reaction thereof) in the ensuing humorous enterprise. With the purposively sampled song, the study pursues a descriptive and analytical approach aimed at revealing how artistic responses and choices within the phenomenon of popular art have not only been influenced by the Covid-19 pandemic but also the extent to which they contribute to collective societal resilience and survival. Theoretically, the study is grounded in semiotic and psychoanalytic tenets that enable us to view meaningful existence.

Wearable Technology Maintenance Skill Needs of Technical College Students for Job Creation in Rivers State.
Tambari Mtormabari Deebom (Ph.D) & Joseph, Brown Simon Abigo – December 2022 Page No.: 159-169
This study which determined wearable technology maintenance skill needs of technical college students for job creation in Rivers State adopted a descriptive research survey design. The study was carried out in Rivers State. Three research questions were answered while corresponding null hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The population of the study comprised of all electronic technicians in Rivers State and 49 electrical and electronic trades teachers in all the four Government Technical Colleges in Rivers State. Electrical/Electronic trades teachers were not sampled due to small population size while 170 electronic technicians were selected through accidental sampling technique. Hence, a total of 219 respondents was used as sample for the study. The instrument for data collection was a 105 item self-structured questionnaire titled: Wearable Technology Maintenance Skills for Job Creation. The reliability of the instrument was established as 0.80 using Cronbach’s Alpha method of reliability. Data collected were analysed using mean with standard deviation statistical tools to answer the research questions while z-test was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings from the study revealed that the students need the ability to; disconnect the upper ribbon cable gently, check the sound balance in device settings among others. The study also revealed the challenges associated with technical college students in the use of modern tools and equipment for the maintenance of wearables. Based on the findings of the study. It was recommended among others that National Board for Technical Education should ensure that the curriculum developers integrate smartwatch and head mounted display maintenance skills into the curriculum of technical colleges for this will enable the graduates become self-reliance. Government at all levels should ensure the provision of modern tools and equipment to be used at the technical college workshops and laboratories for effective training of students.

Influence of Non-Governmental Organizations’ Financial Interventions on Community Empowerment
M.W. Mutiga, M.M. Mutuku, L.N. Kinuthia and A. A. Olubandwa- December 2022 Page No.: 170-179
Non-governmental organizations play a key role in promoting community development in developing and undeveloped countries through support of various interventions such as agriculture, health, climate change, gender, family planning, water and sanitation and education. Each of these interventions play a key role in the realization of sustainable community development. However, education is an integral part in achievement of all the other 16 Sustainable Development Goals. Education is one of strategies used by non-governmental organizations to empower individuals and communities through financial interventions which enable communities to access equitable and inclusive quality education. Though non-governmental organizations have been supporting education as a way of empowering communities with the aim of realizing community development, there are still challenges in terms of social economic development. Education is an empowerment tool that is regarded as effective through achievement of individual and community empowerment. However, success of education financial interventions is measured using individual empowerment, as a result, an empirical knowledge gap exists on their influence on community empowerment. The study aimed at assessing the influence of non-governmental organizations’ education financial interventions on community empowerment in Nakuru County. The study was guided by Social Capital Theory, Empowerment Theory and General Systems Theory. The study adopted an ex-post facto and correlational research design. The accessible population was 116 non-governmental organizations in Nakuru County. Stratified random sampling and purposive sampling were used. Data collection instruments were questionnaires. The subjects involved in the study were beneficiaries of the education financial interventions and the social workers in charge of education. Statistical Package for Social Science Version 20 was used for data analysis. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used. The findings were non-governmental organizations’ education financial interventions significantly influenced community empowerment (r=0.261; p=0.008). This finding may be used to inform; community development stakeholders on the influence of non-governmental organizations’ education financial interventions on community empowerment; policy makers on adoption of education as an integral part of achieving sustainable development and recommend development of an education for community empowerment model.

The condition of Indonesia’s economic development, especially in North Sulawesi, more specifically in the City of Manado, needs a thorough movement of economic actors. Currently, the role of MSMEs is the focus point. MSMEs are one of the supporting drivers of the economy, their part is very much needed because the business processes carried out can be elementary with low capital and materials, but the economic movement in them is substantial. It is hoped that the government in charge, in this case, the government of Manado, can continue to provide learning by providing socialization and training to business actors and be able to form a network for MSMEs so that they can continue to be monitored and the skills of MSMEs will increase.

James Sunday Kehinde, Sehilat Abike Bolarinwa, Olukayode Ezekiel Ibironke- December 2022 Page No.: 188-195
This study examined the moderating effects of firm size on the financial leverage – performance relationship of non-financial firms in Nigeria. The study used the ex-post facto research design and secondary data was adopted from annual reports of 50 non-financial firms listed on the Nigeria Stock Exchange as at 31 December 2019. The data used was for the period of 2010 – 2019 and multiple regression tool was used to analysed the data collected. The findings of this study shows that debt ratio (β= -0.459; p < 0.05) has a significant negative relationship with financial performance of listed non-financial firms as at 31 December, 2019. Also, introducing firm size as a moderating variable led to a (β=0.043; p < 0.05) significant positive effects on the leverage – performance relationship. The study concluded that financial leverage affects the financial performance of non-financial firms in Nigeria and that firm size has effects on the leverage-performance relationship. The study recommended that management must determine their organization optimal capital mix and also put their firm size into consideration before deciding the amount of debt finance to be included in the capital.

Insurance Operations and Financial Deepening in Nigerian: Policyholders Perspective (1999-2020)
Onuoha, Donatus Chinedu, Dr Ezekwe, Kenneth Chukwudi- December 2022 Page No.: 196-202
Insurance as a financial risk management mechanism performs several operations at ensuring financial deepening in an economy. This study examined the effects of insurance operations on financial deepening in Nigeria: Policyholders Perspectives (1999-2020). The research design employed was an ex-post facto. Data for the study was collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and annual publications of the Nigerian insurance digest for 22 years’ period, 1999-2020. Using linear regression model, the results revealed that insurance premium income and insurance claims paid had statistical significant negative relationship with financial deepening in Nigeria. The study recommends that regulatory bodies and other stakeholders in the Nigerian insurance industry should put in place appropriate mechanisms that will ensure public awareness on the inevitability of insurance, and also that technical staff training and retraining for effective underwriting and claims management practices should be prioritized.

Archival Responsibility, Access and Technological Issues in Contemporary Society
Dr Nene F. K. Obasi, And Dr Rose Ezeibe- December 2022 Page No.: 203-208
The current convergence of interest in archives has generated issues for the archival community and archival practice. These issues- access and preservation, digitization and copyright, user expectations, and global economic realities- are topical and are a determinant in dispensing quality archival services to individuals, and researchers, and a tool for a common understanding and tackling of national and global issues. This paper therefore takes a critical look at them, with a view to proffering possible way out. The paper observed that the ‘slow and steady moving’ archival field will continue to evolve as the world is in a state of constant flux. The paper therefore calls for the need to open up the archives more, through a corresponding increased research attention to keep pace with the continual evolving archival issues; building collaboration and partnerships among archival stakeholders; archival marketing; and entrepreneurial archiving.

A Study of The Nature and Role of Traditional Leadership and Governance in Homa Bay County in The Pre-Colonial and Colonial Periods in Kenya.
K’Odipo, Walter Otieno- December 2022 Page No.: 209-222
The objective of the study was to analyze the nature and role of leadership and governance in Homa Bay County in pre-colonial period. The findings of the research would help the state to reform the institution of the chief regarding the ever-changing administrative framework for people at the grassroots. The role of chiefs as per the findings of this study was key in socio-economic transformations in Homa Bay County during the colonial period. Chiefs directed virtually the social, economic and political affairs in the communities. For example, the prime movers of the socio-economic activities in today’s Homa Bay County, whose economy largely relied on livestock, agriculture, fishing, pottery and weaving were the chiefs. With the establishment of Local Native Councils and later on the African District Councils, chiefs became the fulcrum around which these institutions of governance revolved.

Educational Key Terms for the Teaching of African Languages: the Case of the Kom Language, North-West Region of Cameroon
Godfrey C. Kain- December 2022 Page No.: 223-233
Basic Education teachers in Kom face challenges in their attempts to use the Kom language as a medium of instruction. They attribute the challenges to limited terminologies in Kom that can be used to teacher other subjects rather than teach the Kom language as a subject. Diagnosis carried out through observations in their case study necessitate the creation of Kom Education Key Terms. They need Key Terms to match foreign concepts in the subjects that are taught as their education content.
It is as a result of this challenge that one prioritized to create Kom Education Key Terms with a mixed (KEKT) to fill the vacuum identified in the Kom Education programme. The attempt falls in line with the call for the development of every people’s language in the world as a cultural, and education right. It seems too late as foreign languages are already the order of the day, domineering in religion, education, administration, politics, economic, and health domains of the peoples’ lives.
The Kom language is just one out of the two hundred and eighty-two languages that exist in Cameroon not standardized. It is on the given tenets that one attempts to give a balance sheet of his/her auto-ethnographic experiences in the development of the (KEKT). During the execution of two renown projects within the Kom community. One got involved in two principal Kom projects namely; the Operational Research Project for Language Education in Cameroon (PROPELCA) and the Kom Education Pilot Project (KEPP) executed from 1992 to 2006 and 2006-present day respectively. The latter came into existence when the former declined due to reasons already advanced and financial issues that were as take. If a timely solution is not fetched, the problem can continue and could disrupt the education initiatives that have been invested in the Kom community with likely effect on low academic performances. The KEKT were exercised in the three subdivisions of Belo, Fundong, Njinikom and the regional headquarters in Bamenda where notions on education were listened, analysed, and attempted solutions were proposed.

Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) Attributes and Earnings Management of listed Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria
Olusola LODIKERO, Kazeem A. SOYINKA, Oluwafemi M. SUNDAY- December 2022 Page No.: 234-239
Many studies have appeared in recent years concerning CEO attributes and earnings management in both developed and developing economies. While many of those studies have provided empirical evidence on CEO attributes and earnings management. There are extensive studies CEO attributes and earnings management in developed economies. In contrast, there is a dearth of research on the subject in developing economies (e.g. Nigeria). The present study empirically examined the CEO attributes and earnings management in Nigeria. Secondary data were used for a for a 10-year period (2012-2021), the study and the data were sourced from annual reports of 13 deposit money banks listed on the Nigeria Exchange Group (NEG) as at 31st December, 2021. In determining the dependent variable, discretionary accruals through modified Jones model was used while CEO age, CEO tenure and CEO gender was used to examine CEO attributes. The study utilized panel data analysis with the application of ordinary least square (OLS) regression to test the hypotheses and to ascertain the significant relationship between CEO age, CEO tenure, CEO gender and earnings management of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria. The findings revealed a significant negative relationship between CEO age and earnings management, while CEO tenure and CEO gender were statistically non-significant in explaining variations in earnings management of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study concludes that CEOs age are the strong drivers of earnings management. Therefore, the study recommends that listed deposit money banks in Nigeria should focus on CEOs age as the major criteria for CEO selection or reselection, while less emphasis should be placed on tenure and gender.

Emenike Umesi. Ph.D. – December 2022 Page No.: 246-252
This study investigated the influence of leadership style, talent management and succession planning on employee retention in the hospitality industry in Abuja, Nigeria’s federal capital territory. The study was carried in the Abuja municipal council area with a population of 2500 workers in the 191 hotels and other facilities rendering hospitality services in the area. A sample of 100 workers were purposively selected as respondents for the study, out of which 94 responded. Four research questions and one hypothesis were used to guide the study. Related literature was reviewed, and gaps identified justifying the study. The data obtained were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The multi linear analysis statistic was adopted to test the hypothesis. The responses on the questionnaire answering the research questions revealed that there is a positive relationship between leadership style, talent management, succession planning on the retention of staff in the hospitality industry in Abuja. It also rejected the null hypothesis of the study thereby averring that the three independent variables of Leadership style, talent management and succession planning exerts significant influence on employee retention. The study concluded that managers should ensure that these variables are considered while decisions on employee retention is being made in their various organisations in the hospitality industry. A total of six recommendations were made on how to enhance employee retention by the study.

Parents’ perceptions of education offered by secondary mission boarding schools in the Mutasa district of Manicaland, Zimbabwe
Mandikiana Memory Rumbidzai V., & Murairwa Stanley – December 2022 Page No.: 253-266
Mission boarding schools were built by Christian Missionaries, in collaboration with local communities, with the view to provide affordable and quality education to African children who were marginalized by the British Colonial system. In essence, the schools are jointly owned by the church and local communities. After independence, parents continued to prefer mission boarding schools, particularly for academic excellence, and moral standards, and to allow them to focus on employment and investment in the future. Over time, however, the education for all agenda led to the emergence of private schools, and the general population also accessed government and council-owned schools. The study sought to understand the perceptions of parents towards mission boarding schools in the Mutasa district of Manicaland, with a view of evaluate and perhaps, influencing corrective measures, towards continuing to provide competitive advantage on the market. Considering the novelty of the COVID-19 pandemic, the researchers used an online questionnaire to collect both quantitative and qualitative data, which was shared with parents on school WhatsApp platforms, hence purposive and snowball sampling techniques were used. Permission was sought from the school authorities and Education Officials. The data was encoded into the Kobo toolbox and analyzed using SPSS and NVivo to produce results. Some of the data were posted to Data Wrapper for a more appealing graphical presentation. The findings were that parents are still satisfied with academic excellence but worry about dilapidated infrastructure, poor road network, failure to adopt blended learning, disjointed synergies with stakeholders, and misgovernance amongst other follies. The recommendations are for schools to reserve quotas for local students and ancillary staff, create sound synergies with stakeholders, have feedback platforms, improve school infrastructure and road network systems, adopt blended learning, and most importantly, respect that the schools are co-owned by the local communities and the church.

Zambian Democracy in Relation to Governance of Society
Callistus Kahale Kabindama- December 2022 Page No.: 267-271
This chapter will deal with the matter of Zambian democracy vis-à-vis Aristotle’s view of society governance. The discussion will be done by looking at how Zambia democratically progressed in her three republics. The chapter will also reflect on how the republics’ transitions brought challenges to values of democracy and leadership. We will show how political ideologies can be nurtured in a state by having active civil society groups and a constitutional rule. The paper will conclude by giving a critique on the matter at hand by analyzing a citizen with an Aristotelian citizenry.

Impact of COVID 19 on the banking sector
Dr. Meenu Baliyan, Muskan Goel – December 2022 Page No.: 272-276
COVID-19 adversely affected the Indian Economy as well as human lives. Almost all the sectors have been affected. This paper aims to investigate the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on the banking sector. Because of the lockdown, there were no sources of income. That’s why people demanded advances and on the other hand, they were not able to pay the loans. To overcome this situation, the Reserve bank of India and the central Government have taken many measures to provide relief to the people. This Research Paper shows the relationship between NPAs, Advances, and Profitability due to COVID-19 and also the impact of measures taken by RBI and the government in the Indian Banking sector.

Psychometric Characteristics of Test Anxiety Analysis Tools
Justice Dadzie, Ruth Annan-Brew, Vida Adjeley Akai-Tetteh, Afua Twiba Ahenkora – December 2022 Page No.: 277-284
An individual’s test anxiety might be high, normal, or low, according to Casbarro (2005). The instrument’s scores range from 30 to 120, with a lower score suggesting minimal test anxiety and a higher score indicating high test anxiety. Individuals with scores ranging from 30 to 59 inclusive have mild test anxiety, those with scores ranging from 60 to 89 have normal test anxiety, and those with scores ranging from 90 to 120 have significant test anxiety.
The study was conducted in sekondi-takoradi using all the 10 senior high schools, a multi-stage sampling technique was used in deriving the sample size of 370 respondents. It is preferable to have little test anxiety. According to Akanbi (2013), a modest degree of worry might be beneficial since it functions as motivation and can boost success by pushing pupils to perform their best. In circumstances of severe test anxiety, the client should consult with a competent counsellor. This is because excessive anxiety might impair mental abilities required for exam achievement (Casbarro, 2005).

Succession Planning and Sustainability of Family Owned Businesses in Lagos State
Rafee I. Tunde OLAGUNJU, Issa ABDULRAHEEM Ph.D, Zekeri ABU Ph.D, And Abdulazeez Alhaji SALAU Ph.D – December 2022 Page No.: 285-291
The majority of organized small- and medium-sized enterprises in Nigeria are family businesses, and family succession is a key factor in their growth and survival. In Lagos State, the study looked at how succession planning affected the viability of family-owned janitorial service companies. The study used a cross-sectional survey with a descriptive methodology to gather data from 145 cleaning service companies registered with the Cleaning Practitioners Association of Nigeria (CPAN) and operating in the state of Lagos. Primary data were collected for the study utilizing a standardized questionnaire. Tables were used to illustrate the data, and multiple regression was used to test the hypothesis. The study’s primary goal was to determine how succession planning affects sustainability. The study discovered that family-owned janitorial service businesses in Lagos State applied succession planning initiatives to a moderate extent. Very few of the companies showed any indication that they were conducting succession planning. The survey found that only a small number of organizations used various succession planning strategies, such as ensuring that work continues even without the founder, resolving conflicts, sharing vision, and educating successors. In order to promote a smooth transition from one generation to the next, the study advised family business owners to always encourage the capability and dedication of their successors by exposing them to training and involvement in the business.

Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) as Assessment Tool in Primary Schools: Perceived Influence on Students Writing Skills in Secondary Schools in Yaounde VI.
Ndifor Roseline Fuhtung – December 2022 Page No.: 292-296
This study examines the influence of excess used MCQ as an assessment or test tool in senior primary schools on their writing competences in early secondary schools. The problem of this study emanates from the observed fall in writing skills among early primary school pupils in Yaounde V. Majority of the students who register in Form One do not know how to write well. The piloted and validated qualitative data analyses tool (interview guide) were used to collect data from 18 participants being 10 primary school class 5 and 6 teachers and 8 secondary school English teachers. The data was examined and the majority of the opinions sampled were considered and it indicated that: Junior secondary school students have unadorned writing challenges due to excess use of MCQ as assessment tools. They concede that it does not give the learner the ability to practice their own writing skills, thus, they turn to neglect it because it’s not much tested in the exams. We therefore recommend to the teachers that; they should employ a heterogeneous testing method in pupil’s exams.

Linking Theory to Practice: Perspectives on Practical Measures and Policies in Enhancing the Implementation of the Localised curriculum in Mwansabombwe District of Zambia
Robert Changwe, Christine Mwanza, Harrison Daka, and Moreblessing Ng’onomo – December 2022 Page No.: 297-304
The relevance of the school curriculum cannot be over emphasised in every form of education system. Of vital importance in the upholding of curriculum relevance in any society is the insurance that it is well contextualised or localised. When the curriculum is not contextualised and its implementation process not localised, the education system risk producing learners in a vacuum who may not eventually play a significant role in solving various societal glitches. If a country is to achieve rapid economic growth however, its education should be related to productivity (Bishop, 1985). Some of the solutions to problems currently encountered in African societies and communities Zambia inclusive, must proceed from understanding the dynamics with the local context. It is from this background that this study was undertaken to explore perspectives on practical measures and policies in enhancing the implementation of the localised curriculum in Mwansabombwe district of Zambia. The researchers used qualitative research approach specifically descriptive research design to collect, analyse and interpret data. Out of the study population of 30,000 residents of Mwansabombwe district, 50 respondents were purposively sampled whose break downs were as follows; 10 local community members, 10 learners, 20 teachers, 5 officers from Mwansabombwe District Education Board Secretary’s office (DEBS) and 5 Education Standards Officers. Both semi structured interview guide and focus group discussion guide were used to collect data and content analysis was used to analyse the collected data. Research findings revealed that there was no effective implementation of the localised curriculum in Mwansabombwe district. This was necessitated by lack of appropriate practical measures by the Ministry of Education (MoE) to address key issues such as those that had to do with; teaching and learning materials, lack of capacity building amongst the teaching staff, lack of motivation amongst the learners, teachers and community members as well as ignorance on pertinent issues surrounding the localisation of the curriculum amongst various stakeholders. Hence from the research findings, it was recommended that the MoE need to thoroughly conduct both needs assessment and situation analysis for the localisation of the curriculum to be effectively implemented in Zambian schools. Besides, the MoE needed to reinforce policy on localisation of the curriculum in schools if the country was to achieve the intended results about the localised curriculum.

Text and Image Interplay in Selected Primary School English Textbooks in Ekiti State
Moses Olusanya Ayoola, Mercy Adenike Bankole, Chinyere Blessing Okorie – December 2022 Page No.: 312-318
This study sought to establish the relationship between text and images in selected primary school English textbooks and the ways in which text and image interplay supports interaction between pupils and materials in selected primary school English textbooks. Four English textbooks of primary 1 to 2 were selected for the study. The framework for the analysis in this study was based on the system of image text relations by Martinec and Salway (2005). Using both quantitative and qualitative analysis, the findings demonstrate that the total amount of instances of image-text relations in each textbook is 97 (18.5%), 202 (39.6%), 50 (8.8%) and 136 (26.1%) respectively. The study found out that there is a significant relationship between text and image in primary school English textbooks. Just as the image exemplifies the written text, the text also modifies the images. Through this, pupils are presented with concrete and familiar concepts that they can easily relate with. Thus, attention and interest of pupils are aroused, sustained and their reading speed and comprehension enhanced. The study concludes that, better understanding of the inter-semiotic relations between visual images and verbal texts helps textbook designers to design more suitable textbooks; enhances language learning and use through the learners’ proper interpretation of the pictures, words and design, as these elements come together to produce a visual-verbal narrative which is disregarded when there is a focus on the words only. The study, therefore offers more insights on how to interpret and understand how different modes in the textbooks relate to achieve the goal of language learning.

Awareness and Knowledge levels as determinants of Cervical Cancer Screening uptake among Women Seeking Healthcare Services at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, Kenya
Chepngeno B. Judy, Prof. Kiptoo K. Michael – December 2022 Page No.: 319-324
The community health seeking behaviour on various health issues is driven by the level of knowledge and awareness. This study aimed at determining the link between cervical cancer awareness and knowledge levels in relation to uptake of cervical cancer screening among women seeking healthcare services at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, Kenya.
By assessing public awareness and knowledge about cervical cancer, deeper insights into existing public practices can be gained, thereby helping in identifying factors that influence women in adopting healthy practices and modelling public health interventions. The objectives of the study were; to find out the level of awareness and knowledge about cervical cancer screening among the women and to examine the relationship between the level of cancer awareness and knowledge cancer screening uptake. The study area was Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret, Kenya. The study adopted a mixed methods approach to arrive at logical conclusions. The major finding of the study revealed that many women accessing healthcare services at MTRH Kenya had ever heard about cervical cancer but majority of them had poor knowledge about the disease. They were not aware that it is sexually transmitted, can be prevented through vaccinating young girls before sexual debut and early and regular screening for cervical cancer. The study found out low levels of awareness of symptoms, knowledge on risk factors, and not able to differentiate between facts and misconceptions about the disease. In addition, it was found that the uptake of cancer screening services increased with the increase in knowledge level and vice versa. This study concludes that there is need to create massive awareness on cervical cancer prevention by government and non-state actors at all levels from the community level to the national level. The Ministry of health with communication practitioners should develop clear, easy to understand educational messages about cervical cancer and screening tests and appropriately communicate to the women. The health care providers should sensitize women on the need for early screening for cervical cancer during clinic visits to prevent late diagnosis of the disease when little treatment options are available. In order to prevent cervical cancer, effective communication is crucial in creating awareness and in increasing knowledge levels among women and to enhance uptake of screening in Kenya in particular and sub-Saharan Africa at large.
