Abstract
This study investigated the effect of eco-design practices on the performance of Nigerian bottling company. specifically, the study evaluated the level of eco-design practices and its effect on the performance on Nigerian bottling company. The study employed a quantitative research method conducted in a cross-sectional approach to collect primary data using structured questionnaire from selected 202 employees involved in eco-design practices in Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC) using a simple random sampling technique. The collected primary data was analysed using both statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The findings of the study revealed that there is a moderate level of eco-design practices along the dimensions of design for raw materials, design for distribution, design for manufacturing, design for product use and design for end of life practices in the study area. The result of the test of hypotheses revealed a significant effect of eco-design on performance of NBC. However, there was no evidence of significant effect of design for product use on operational performance and design for raw material on environmental performance. the study recommends that firms should focus more on selection of materials with low impact and also endeavour to utilise products that are of low energy consumption to enhance their performance

Abstract
This article introduces “The Looking Glass Self” as one of the widely discussed sociological concepts in academic settings across culture. It proffers the argument that “The Looking Glass Self” could be experimented as an approach to leadership development in the formal sector or private organization. It opines that in the context of “The Looking Glass Self” followers act as the “mirror” in which a leader must imagine how he/she appears in the eyes of followers, how he/she is evaluated based on followers’’ observation and perceptions, and how the feedbacks that comes from observation and perceptions can help influence the development of a leader’s sense of self. It employs the competency model and the values model as the theoretical framework that guided the study. Regarding the methodology, the qualitative approach was used to explore this topic. Precisely, it employs content analysis of relevant document, articles, or papers as source of the data from Google search engine. The paper concludes that although followers’ perception plays one of the main roles in leadership development, it all depends on how leaders interpret their followers’ perceptions. The article recommends that as an experimental concept, “The Looking Glass Self” could be inculcated or infused into leadership development training module

Abstract
this study seeks to examine the effect of founder role identity on entrepreneurial proclivity using the mediating role of entrepreneurial attitude. To achieve this purpose,four objectives were established: firstly, to determine the relationship between founder role identity and entrepreneurial proclivity, secondly to determine the relationship between founder role identity and attitude, thirdly, to determine the relationship between attitude and entrepreneurial proclivity, and lastly to determine the extent to which attitude mediate the relationship between founder role identity and entrepreneurial proclivity. Given the purpose of this study, the cross-sectional survey design was used to collate data from a population of 510 potential retirees of the Bureau for Establishment, Plateau State Secretariat. The Krejcie and Morgan sample size selection model was used to determine the sample size of 226 potential retirees randomly selected from the state secretariate in Jos.The data was properly analysed using multiple regression analysis. The results of the findings indicated that there was a positive relationship between Founder role identity and entrepreneurial proclivity, secondly Founder role identity has significant influence on attitude, thirdly attitude has significant influence on entrepreneurial proclivity, and lastly entrepreneurial attitude function as an important intermediary in the relationship between founder role identity and entrepreneurial proclivity. In conclusion, founder role identity should be planted in the perceptions of potential retirees as it helps significantly in influencing their participation in business. Also, Policy makers and the government should increase their participation in the entrepreneurial training and development of potential retirees to expand their ability that will result to starting a business before and after retirement.

History of rice in Kenya: When was rice first introduced in Kenya?

Abstract
Rice is the third most important cereal crop in Kenya after maize and wheat. In regards to its introduction in Kenya, the year 1907 is quoted by the majority of contemporary authors and documents. This is so unlikely because the same Asians and Arab traders who introduced the crop in Kenya had already introduced the crop in Uganda by the 1870s. Remember, the Asian and Arab traders had their headquarters in Kenya (Mombasa), and it is arguably true, that they spent most of their time in Kenya than in Uganda. Therefore, they must have cultivated or promoted the cultivation of rice in Kenya earlier than in Uganda. As rightly said by Maya Angelou in 1997, you can’t know where you are going unless you understand where you came from. This prompted the review of literature from various corners of the world about the history of colonial and pre-colonial Kenya. The review was aimed at finding out other dates and the exact period when rice was introduced in Kenya and why authors were citing 1907 as the introductory year of rice cultivation in Kenya. Delving deeper into the accounts of history reveals that one of the reasons for citing 1907 could be that it is the period that marked the end of the slave trade period. And also, it is the period beyond which the production of rice was being promoted by Kenyan communities such as the Luo. As to when rice was introduced to Kenya, one would find four possible dates in literature, i.e., 1900 to 1905, 1907, the early 1800s (1800 to 1850), and the latter half of the 1800s (1851 to 1899). Following through all the accounts that have been reviewed, quoting the 19th century (considering the period from 1800 to 1899) provides a much stronger and evidence-based meaning as far as the introduction of rice cultivation in Kenya is concerned.

Abstract
Research is a concept that practitioners, managers, and policymakers respect. But more importantly, research is an academic activity by education professionals who continuously advocate learning, finding out things, analyzing information, adapting behavior, improving modern demand of educational standards and quality teaching. Biliran Province State University sees the importance of research. However, many also experience difficulty in research. This descriptive study aims to evaluate the research profile, attitude, and capability of the School of Management and Entrepreneurship faculty members in Biliran Province State University. The total enumeration sampling technique was used in selecting respondents. A total of forty faculty members served as respondents to the study. The Attitude toward Research’ Scale developed by Papanastasiou (2005) was modified and used in the study. It was revealed that faculty members are less capable of writing results and discussion part in research and are anxious about conducting research. It is highly recommended that faculty members should undergo research training and seminars for them to improve their skills in writing research.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of petty corruption on the operations of institutions of higher learning in Southern African countries. The study was prompted by the fact that Petty corruption has not received much attention as big or grand corruption from many researchers. Petty corrupt practices may cause more harm to operations in public institutions in the long term although they may appear petty and must be ignored. A cross-sectional survey research design was adopted following a quantitative approach. The target population of lecturers working in the participating universities was 2684. 446 lecturers were drawn from eight (8) institutions of higher learning in Southern African countries using a stratified purposeful sampling strategy. An online survey (Google forms) was used to collect data from respondents via their email addresses, which were retrieved from their university websites. Data was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version, 26. The study found that petty corruption negatively affects the operations of universities in the Southern African region. The implication of this study suggests that more attention should be paid to all forms of petty corrupt practices such as lateness, absenteeism, presentism, and favouritism to address impact of petty corruption on teaching and learning activities in institutions of higher learning in Southern African countries.

Abstract
As the capital city of the country, Special Capitol Region of Jakarta has an important and strategic role in the implementation of the wheels of government both at the central level and at the local government level itself. By looking at the strategic value of the existence of Special Capitol Region of Jakarta as the capital city, it is considered important to rearrange the defense potential within the framework of empowering the defense territorial around the capital city of Jakarta. With this complexity, the existence of airports around the Special Capitol Region of Jakarta territorial is a national potential that has an impact on the economy, improving people’s welfare and also supports aspects of national defense. However, nowadays, with the development of development and the level of community population as well as the development of technological advances, in the end, it has also led to changes in the level of threat to the integrity and sovereignty of the State. One indicator that can be seen related to airports in the Special Capitol Region of Jakarta territorial is the ineffectiveness of re-operating Halim Perdana Kusuma Airport as an active airport in order to reduce the density of Soekarno Hatta Airport in terms of air transport services. The limited supporting infrastructure, incoming outgoing access and the tqausers and overcapacity for incoming and outgoing vehicles, as well as the emergence of population and vehicle density in the territorial around Halim Perdanakusuma contributed to creating new problems. This study seeks to re-map the regional potential, especially Halim Perdanakusuma and Soekarno Hatta airports as well as airports as an effectiveness effort in the context of empowering air defense territorial, especially in Special Capitol Region of Jakarta. In this study using qualitative methods, where primary data in the form of interviews with competent sources and secondary data from literature studies and analysis based on supporting theories are the material in this study.

Abstract
Conceptual understanding in mathematical learning is an essential aspect of achieving learning outcomes, but the previous research showed a lack of conceptual understanding still high, especially in calculus courses. This study aimed to describe the students’ conceptual understanding of the calculus course during the online learning process and analyze their mistakes when applying the concepts learned. This study used the descriptive qualitative method with 28 students as a sample. The collecting data used a conceptual understanding ability test and interviews with students. The data analysis used data triangulation in data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Based on the results, the students’ ability to understand the concept in online learning during the covid-19 pandemic was still low, with 17.9% of students getting poor and 21.4% getting unsatisfactory scores. Only 10.4% of students got excellent scores, 21.4% got good scores, and the average score was 28.6%. Students were confused when applying the interval concept for triple integral evaluation and the integral factor for differential equation solution. Online learning due to the covid-19 pandemic decreases student motivation because of the problems of the learning process, obstructing students from learning based on problem-solving learning. Some solutions that can address this problem are 1) using interactive problem-solving learning, 2) providing opportunities for students to construct their knowledge and understanding, 3) designing a learning model and learning media that can motivate students.

Abstract
Although organizations are started for the purpose of achieving some set targets, their achievement has been one of the major challenges facing 21st century organizations. The result has been the collapse or liquidation of some of these organizations leaving employees jobless. Other than external environmental factors, employee factors are determinants of the extent to which an organization is likely to succeed in their specific mandate. The aim of this desktop research study was therefore to explore how employee factors influence the performance of 21st century organizations. In this regard, the study endeavored to establish how employee behaviors, employee decision-making, employee perceptions, employee motivation, and employee emotional responses contribute to organizational performance. The study employed an exploratory research design while data was collected through review of the existing literature from the global, continental, and local perspectives. The results indicated that, indeed all the five employee factors have a positive and significant influence on the performance of 21st century organizations. It can, therefore, be concluded that employees play a critical role in helping organizations achieve their set objectives and, therefore, the need for employees’ matters to be given priority by their organizational leaders.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine the perceptions of the selected students who have learning difficulties in science, and their teachers regarding the effectiveness of using Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) in science. To explore and describe the perceptions of the teacher and students, a qualitative-phenomenological approach was employed. There were six (6) participants of the study composed of teachers and students which were purposely selected. The participants of the study are from one of the public schools in Island Garden City of Samal that has teachers utilizing SIM (Strategic Intervention Material) in aiding students’ least learned topics or competencies in science. The researchers used researcher-made questionnaires which were validated by a panel of experts. The researchers also utilized the focus group dicussion employing an open-ended semi-structured interview to the key informants. The researchers interviewed each of the participants and obtained some perceptions correlated to the research questions prepared by the researchers. After gathering the needed data, the researchers used thematic analysis or thematic coding as a tool for analyzing the data and drawing of the conclusion. Based on the gathered data from the participants, the researchers noticed three positive themes which were Strategic Intervention Material aids the least learned competencies, Strategic Intervention Material is simplified, and Strategic Intervention Material improves the performance of the students in class. In addition to this, there is a student, one of the participants, who stated that after Strategic Intervention Material was utilized to them, there had been an increase of her grades. Because of the positive results of the gathered data, it is possible that Strategic Intervention Material will prosper in the near future as a material that aids least the learned competencies of students. With these results also, it was recommended that the Science teachers should make their own SIM, school administrators should include the use of SIM in their planning, and similar study that has more participants and wider in scope should be conducted by future the researchers.

Abstract
The study investigated the major determinants of remittances to Nigeria from 1990 to 2019. The study adopted the least square method for this purpose. A dummy variable was introduced in the model to represent the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. The result showed that inflation and real effective exchange rate are statistically insignificant and so have no effect on remittances. The parameter for the COVID-19 pandemic also came out insignificant in the study. This shows that the pandemic hasn’t really affected the host countries as at 2019. Broad money supply and unemployment rate were statistically significant with remittances with coefficients of 0.675 and -1.377 respectively. The result showed that, within the period under study, broad money supply and unemployment rate were major determinants of remittance inflows to Nigeria. The study recommends, amongst other things, that more research on the subject matter should be done to determine the extent of influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on remittances as the pandemic is still ravaging the world.

Abstract
Work engagement has been a major concern to organizations for over three decades, because it is what drives business. For the employee, engagement brings meaningfulness into work, which leads to commitment to the organization and to a sustained relationship with people. Skill variety as a core dimension of Job Characteristics Model, is a necessity for bank workers who face a high work demand requiring efforts, talents and diverse skills. The banks in Nigeria play a very important role in the economy of Nigeria, but they are faced with work overload and stress that bother on work engagement. This study was a descriptive one that used the mixed method approach of both quantitative and qualitative research and was carried out on banks in the Lagos metropolis. A total of 438 copies of questionnaires were distributed, and 353 copies were retrieved, and 15 members of senior staff were randomly selected for the interview. Method of analysis was structural equation modeling (Partial Least Square) for the quantitative, while thematic analysis was used for the qualitative. The results of the hypotheses revealed that skill variety significantly influenced physical work engagement (R-square = 0.346); emotional work engagement (R-square = 0.272); and cognitive work engagement (R-square = 0.438). The study concluded that skill variety is significant to work engagement among bankers in Nigeria. The study recommended that banks should provide adequate opportunities for the use of diverse skills to achieve a higher level of work engagement in the banks.

Abstract
The objective of this research is to revisit the determinants of the allocation of foreign aid to agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa, with a particular focus on the effects of democracy and quality of governance. The data for the study cover the period 1996-2018 in 47 Sub-Saharan African countries. Since democracy and quality of governance are a complex and multidimensional concepts, we measure them using three variables for democracy and five variables for quality of governance. In the quantitative analyses, we perform two estimations: country fixed effects and feasible generalized least squares regressions. We find that the strength of democratic institutions and government voice and accountability positively determine foreign aid to agriculture. Moreover, the quality of governance affects the allocation of foreign aid. Indeed, political stability and absence of violence/terrorism, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, rule of law, and control of corruption positively determine the allocation of foreign aid to agriculture. Our findings have strong policy implication for Sub-Saharan Africa countries, which shows that it is more desirable to promote good governance and improving the processes of democratization in each country to shift agricultural aid flows from international aid agencies and donor’s countries

Abstract
This study aimed to determine the factors that influence the adoption of Orange Fleshed Sweet potato (OFSP) as well as the constraints to non-adoption of (OFSP) varieties among small holder farmers in Kwara State, Nigeria. Purposive sampling technique was used to collect data from one hundred and twenty (120) sweet potato farmers (sixty adopters and sixty non-adopters each). The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistical tools like, percentage, mean scores and likert scale. The results of the study revealed that larger percent of both adopters and non-adopters of OFSP were males. Also, the majority of adopters had high knowledge, while non-adopters had moderate knowledge of OFSP. The adopters were motivated to adopt the OFSP mainly as a result of its high yield, pleasant taste, nutrient content of the roots, profit from the sale of OFSP roots and early maturing. The Perceived constraints to the adoption of OFSP by non-adopters were inadequate capital to carry out necessary farm activities, high cost of required inputs (herbicides, Organic fertilizer, and OFSP vines) for OFSP production and difficulty in integrating OFSP production technologies into existing production system. It was recommended that, concerted effort should be made to include OFSP in the mandate of extension workers and provide adequate incentives to them so that they can sensitize farmers on the importance of this crop. Also, farm inputs should be subsidized for farmers in order to promote OFSP production.

Abstract
Young people in the Togo Conference complained that their leaders are not much involved with them in discussions held on their social media platforms. The statistics of the Seventh-day Adventist Church globally reveal that the church is losing its members among which there are a great number of young people. Most of these young people are social media users. Should church leaders use social media platforms to nurture Young Adventist Members in order to retain them in the Church in Togo? To answer that question, it was deemed necessary and important to obtain reliable empirical quantitative and qualitative data among young people and Pastors at Togo Conference. It is in this context that Interviews were conducted and quantitative studies were done at the Togo Conference to confirm the need for leaders’ empowerment for youth nurture and retention through social media. The study also provided Biblical and social principles for youth nurture through social media platforms in the Togo Conference.

Abstract
The study assessed the effectiveness of leadership styles and achievement of students in the Colleges of Education in Ghana. The descriptive cross-sectional survey design was employed in the study. A multi-stage sampling procedures were used in selecting the sample. In all, 10 principals and vice principals as well as 15 teachers and 125 students were selected from five Colleges of Education to participate in the study. Leadership Questionnaire was self-developed to collect data from the respondents. Structural Equation Model was used as the statistical tool in validating the questionnaire as well as testing the hypothesis. The convergent validity results revealed that leadership questionnaire have some amount of convergence validity. The factor loadings requirement was met by leadership questionnaire. The study found that leadership questionnaire has partial discriminant validity. The validity of the leadership questionnaire in the Ghanaian setting is limited, according to our analysis. While some of the study’ indicators demonstrated a satisfactory level of validity, others did not. With the exception of two items, all of the factor loadings satisfied the 0.30 requirement. In contrast, the AVEs were poor for three of the subdimensions that did not meet the 0.50 threshold. In addition, while the estimated indices were close to the standard criterion, the majority of the model fit indices departed from the criteria provided. The findings again, showed that leadership styles; authoritarian and democratic were not significant predictors of students’ academic achievement. Laissez-faire was only the leadership style that predicted students’ academic achievement in the Colleges of Education in Ghana. The study recommended that principals in the Colleges of Education should make use of different combination of leadership styles to enhance smooth running of the Colleges of Education in Ghana.

Abstract
The study investigated the influence of workplace spirituality on the work values of police personnel in Davao City. It used both descriptive and inferential statistics to answer the problems. The mean and standard deviations identified the respondents’ workplace spirituality and work values. Pearson r determined the significance of the relationship between the variables, while the regression analysis determined the importance of the influence of workplace spirituality on work values. 258 police personnel from different police precincts selected through stratified random sampling responded to the survey. Results showed high levels of workplace spirituality and work values among PNP personnel. Also, the correlation coefficient suggested a weak, positive, but significant relationship between workplace spirituality and work values. Likewise, the regression coefficient revealed a considerable influence of workplace spirituality on work values. The results have implications for the policies and practice of policing. For example, motivating police personnel in exercising workplace spirituality and work values may eliminate deviant behaviors resulting in better performance of duties. Furthermore, the results have substantial implications for the chaplaincy and moral recovery programs of the Philippine National Police (PNP).

Abstract
Disease maps can be used to highlight populations at risk of a disease and its seasonal variability. Measles has been and is still being considered as one of the most infectious and perhaps the highest childhood mortality diseases world-wide. This paper examined the spatial risk of measles in Zamfara State, Nigeria with the objective highlighting areas of high risk and possible link with seasons and the available healthcare facilities. Measles prevalence and relative risk data of 2017 from the 14 LGAs of the state were used for the study. Relative risk rates were computed using ‘at risk’ population of ages 1-9 years as a proportion of the aggregated data. The maps were corroborated with seasons and distribution of healthcare facilities. While the raw data showed LGAs of highest risk located at the southernmost parts of the state, the reverse was the case with the relative risk rates. The later also highlighted relationships of relative risk rates with seasons and availability of healthcare facilities. It was concluded that the type of map drawn and the nature of data used could portray different virtualizations of disease pattern, and that both seasonality and availability of healthcare facilities play a role in the prevalence of measles in Zamfara State. It is recommended that, although the findings shed some light on the possible causal factors, more detailed studies should be carried out on these factors with a view to uncovering them for any informed actions to reduce the risk of the disease and its possible transmission chain, more especially with the current spate of banditry and forced migrations in the state.

Abstract
This study aims to find out the relationship between self-compassion and anxiety on how young adults experience divorce from both parents. The total number of participants was 66 people and young adults aged 18-25 years. Compassion is measured using the Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form (SCS-SF), anxiety is measured using the State-Trait anxiety Inventory Trait Scale (STAI-T). The results showed that there was a significant negative relationship between self-compassion and anxiety in young adults who experienced divorce from both parents. Then it was found that anxiety was higher in participants who had taken an undergraduate or diploma education compared to participants who had just taken high school education and equivalent.

Abstract
: This paper analyses characterization in Kwabena Adi’s Akan novel, Brako. The objectives of this paper are to describe the nature of the characters and identify reasons for their creation. Since the characters in the novel were twenty-six,a total enumeration sampling technique was used to cover all the characters assigned different roles to play in the novel. The study applied descriptive qualitative method to analyze the data. The data were sourced from Kwabena Adi’s Akan novel, Brako. The findings indicate that the author’s consideration of characterization of the novel was based on the following: character selection, character role, character symbolism, character complexity, character similarity, Character relationship, and character contrast. The social relevance of these various character traits are to help teach did actic lessons such as patriotism, hard work, traditional wisdom, and traditional knowledge. Beside the above reason, the projection of some cultural and traditional belief systems to readers is eminently clear in the novel. The pedagogical implication is that the teaching and learning of literature must be more practically oriented than theory based in order to help learners relate their learning experiences to a real-life situation for better understanding.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to establish the effect of trust, communication and relationship transaction-specific investments on the coordination of upstream supply chain activities and assess its impact on the performance of the Zimbabwean agro-processing sector. The conceptual framework of the study was drawn from Williamsons’ (1975, 1985) transaction cost theory of coordination and seven hypotheses were developed. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey of the Zimbabwean agro-processing sector. Data were collected from fifty-nine stratified randomly sampled Zimbabwean agro-processing organisations and twenty purposively sampled supplier organisations. A self-administered questionnaire containing 7 points Likert scale ranging between (1) representing strongly disagree and (7) representing strongly agree was used. Descriptive statistical measures were used to analyze and present the quantitative data leading to the formulation of a theoretical model which was tested using structural equation modelling. From the model five hypothesis affect supply chain coordination i.e.; trust among supply chain players has a positive influence on supply chain coordination, communication has a positive influence on supply chain coordination, supply chain coordination has a positive impact on organisational performance, trust among supply chain players has a positive impact on organisational performance and transaction-specific investments have a positive impact on organisational performance. However, the study revealed that transaction-specific investments do not influence supply chain coordination while communication has no impact on organisational performance. The study, therefore, concluded that trust and communication among supply chain players have a positive influence on supply chain coordination. The findings also conclude that supply chain coordination, trust among supply chain partners and transaction-specific investments have a positive impact on organisational performance.

Abstract
This study examined the relationship between social intelligence and marital harmony among married Catholics in Edo and Delta States. Using the multi-stage sampling procedure, the study investigated the relationship between social Intelligence and marital harmony among 606 married Catholics from 43 catholic parishes in Edo and Delta State Nigeria. Two instruments were used. These include the Social Intelligence Scale and Marital Harmony Scale. Data were analysed using simple regression and multiple regression analysis. The result suggested that social intelligence, moderating variables of duration of marriage and educational status have a positive correlation with marital harmony of the married Catholics. It was however, recommended that marriage counsellors should organize workshops, seminars for intending couples and married persons on how to spend quality time and instil the skills of social intelligence in their relationship.

Abstract
The inspiration behind this article is the prevalence of Covid-19 policies in organizations in Zimbabwe which are dominated by ‘no jab, no job’ policies during the third wave of the pandemic. The article seeks to parade the perceptions and attitudes of employees across all sectors in Zimbabwe on ‘no jab, no job’ policies, and mandatory vaccinations at the workplace. In probing the problem at hand, the researcher used quantitative methodologies to generate data from a sample size of one thousand and two hundred respondents (n = 1 200). In deriving employee perceptions the study observed that 82.5% of study respondents had at least received a first dose jab. The article displays that enterprises across Zimbabwe have Covid -19 policies, and a number of them enforce the ‘no jab, no job’ pinnacle. The last section of the article transmits that employees in Zimbabwe are opposed to the ‘no jab, no job’ policy, and there is a general belief that it is unethical and illegal. There is a general belief that mandatory vaccinations lead to poor industrial relations and reduced productivity. There is an urgent need for employers to educate employees on the need for vaccination in order to demystify circulating conspiracy theories.

Abstract
This study examined the effects of extroversion traits on domestic abuse. This study examined extroversion traits among prison inmates in Kiambu County, Kenya. A sample size of 370 representing a target population of 10,334 inmates with a margin of error of 0.05 was selected. The study found that 66.2% of inmates who participated in the study with extroversion personality had a more solidary, quiet, and reserved trait while 33.5% had an outgoing, friendly, and energetic, trait. Respondents who were more solidary, quiet and reserved, 27.5% strongly agreed that they had experienced domestic abuse, 44.5% agreed, 9.0% strongly disagreed, 13.7% disagreed, while 5.2% were not sure. Regarding respondents who were outgoing, friendly, and energetic, 30.8% strongly agreed they had experienced domestic abuse, 51.4% agreed, 10.3% strongly disagreed, 4.7% disagreed, while 2.8% were not sure. There is a weak negative correlation (0.119) between extroversion personality type and domestic abuse. However, the negative correlation (-0.105) between extroversion and type of domestic abuse perpetrated was weak at a significance of 0.066. In addition, there was a positive correlation (0.203) between extroversion personality type and type of physical assault perpetrated. Also, the study found a negative correlation (0.144) between extroversion and physical assault trends of whether the physical assaults increased, stayed the same or decreased before imprisonment.

Abstract
The prevalence of domestic abuse in Kenya is about 39% and is heavily exacerbated by issues such as the individuals’ personality traits and their past experiences. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of neurotic personality traits on domestic abuse among prisoners convicted for domestic abuse in prisons in Kiambu County, Kenya. The study used both correlational and phenomenological research designs. The target population was 10,334 inmates convicted of domestic related crimes with a sample size of 370. From the findings the respondents who were more confident, resilient, and secure and the type of physical abuse they perpetrated, 28.8% indicated physical abuse, 21.2% indicated sexual abuse, 16.0% indicated financial abuse, and 17.9% indicated emotional abuse while 16.0% were not sure. This study concluded that prevalence of domestic abuse is determined by neurotic personality traits. An implication of this finding is discussed.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate teachers’ preparedness for the implementation of alternative assessment in primary schools in Kenya. The location for the research was Matungulu Sub-County in Machakos County in Kenya. The survey design was adapted in the study. The study was guided by three objectives, which aimed at determining teachers’ knowledge and skills for the implementation of alternative assessment (AA), application of alternative assessment strategies at classroom level and teachers’ perception for the implementation of AA. The study involved 32-schools with 32 Grade-3 teachers as respondents. Qualitative method was applied using questionnaires. Findings indicated that grade three teachers had insufficient knowledge and skills hampering practice. However, they tend to lean towards traditional assessment strategies. Further, the findings revealed that grade three teachers had near positive verses negative perception towards implementation of AA. This may mean that teachers will be ready for the changing learning landscape towards competency-based education. The teacher’s perception levels reveal an acceptable but not optimum level of readiness to manage education process within a self-regulated learning whose focus is on development of thinking skills more so critical thinking. The findings are supported by the fact that that the three predictor variables had a positive and significant association with implementation of alternative assessment as denoted by their beta coefficients of 0.727, 0.709 and 0.641 respectively, with all having p values < 0.05. On this basis, it could be concluded that since perception is shaped by belief and experience, then the experience of teacher could be regarded as meaningful regarding AA. This can then be said to be tangible and not implied. In terms of knowledge and skills, there is an element of knowledge however, key issues are below threshold such as knowledge of portfolio and confidence in suing AA. At the same time there could be a challenge for both teachers and learners in finding their reserve to flourish as they regulate their roles thus deeming the desire to be autonomous in learners learning and as critical thinkers. There is need for further training and getting all to know and understand their perception. The end result for education researchers is to build a theoretical basis for describing educational dispositions on alternative assessment practice. The results do not provide a trend or pattern. Thus, the proposal for further research and thought in this area as the literature is also not conclusive.

Abstract
Tsangaya system of education is a programme designed to cater for the Almajirai/students who are out-of-school not only in Zamfara State, but also throughout northern Nigeria. The programme is aimed at integrating traditional Qur’anic Schools and western education under Universal Basic Education Commission. The establishment of Tsangaya or almajiri integrated education is one of the current issues that require special intervention from the governments at all levels to take measures to curtail the menace of street begging, drug abuse, child trafficking and youth in the name of pursuing Qur’anic Education. The Tsangaya or almajiri (Itinerant Qur’anic School Pupils) constitutes the largest group of out-of-school children in Nigeria numbering over nine (9) million children (Universal Basic Education Commission UBEC, 2010). This segment of Nigerian population poses tremendous challenges to the attainment of Education For All (EFA) and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The study examines five Tsangaya schools within Gusau town whose contributions to the Arabic language cannot be over emphasized. The study also adopts both qualitative and quantitative approach of data collection in order to be able gather more reliable information. It also uses both primary and secondary sources for information gathering.

Abstract
Positivism is prominent term in the human sciences due to its cherished claim of objective knowledge. However, the continuous scrutiny of our knowledge claims has shook the very foundation in which positivism stands on. The rather slow reaction of proponents of positivism to the criticisms levied on their paradigm have also truncated the development of the human sciences. This paper therefore critically appraises the positivism with the intention to make clear its strong points and pitfalls. We established the philosophical foundations of the positivist paradigm and the philosophical implication of the tenets of positivism was highlighted. The study contended that the attainment of objective knowledge and generalizable laws in the human sciences is almost impossible. In conclusion, this paper calls for the accommodation of other methodologies or paradigms in the human sciences and a reconsideration of the objective of the human sciences.

Abstract
Objective: To establish facility dose reference levels for radiation doses for paediatric head CT examination at Moi teaching and referral hospital. Methods: This was a descriptive cross sectional study done at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. A total number of 127 patients aged between 0 to 15years were recruited into the study using systematic sampling technique. Data was collected from the Computed tomography console and estimated effective dose calculated. Categorical variables were summarized as frequencies and percentages. Bivariate analysis was done using T-test to test for association between the dependent and independent variables between the groups. Pearson correlation coefficient and scatter plots were used to describe the relationship between the radiation doses, age and Body Mass Index. A P value of <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: The mean age for the participants studied was 5.21years. The most common indication for Computed tomography was hydrocephalus (24%). The average Computed Tomography Dose Index, Dose Length Product and effective dose was 32.84 mGy, 1006.1 mGy.cm and 4.01mSv respectively. The Facility reference level was set as the median value for CTDIVOL, DLP and effective dose at 36.5mGy, 850.6mGy.cm and 3.75mSv respectively. Conclusion: Computed Tomography Dose Index of the patients are within normal parameters with other places in the world. The Dose Length Product and effective dose are within range with the ones of National Diagnostic Reference Level for Kenya but higher than others countries such as Turkey. There was statistically significant correlation between age and effective dose.

Abstract
The impacts of cooperative instructional methodologies (think-pair-share and Student Teams-Achievement Divisions) on secondary school students’ performance in geography in Kano State, Nigeria were explored. The study used a pre-and post-test quasi-experimental design. A total of four intact classes from two senior secondary schools in the Nassrawa Educational Zone of Kano State, Nigeria, were used to collect data. For the study, three research questions and three hypotheses were developed. For data collection, the researcher used two instruments: the Geography pre-diagnostic test and the Geography post-diagnostic test. To answer research questions, mean and standard deviation were employed, and hypotheses were tested using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with pre-test scores as covariates to correct for the sample’s baseline differences. A partial eta squared value of 0.017 suggested a substantial association between the pre-test and post-test scores on the Geography Performance Test. The findings showed that therapy had a significant negative impact on students’ performance (t(93) =-0.633, p=0.528) and (t(93) = 1.415, p=0.160).Based on the findings, it was suggested that geography teachers engage in collaboration in which students are held accountable for each other’s achievements. There are no gender differences between the two tactics. Students who were taught using the think-pair-share and student team accomplishment division methodologies outperformed those who were taught using the traditional method.

Abstract
This study assessed the impact of family structure on household well-being using family savings, family income and food security as variables. Data was collected from 102 households and analyzed using descriptive statistics by computation of means, percentages, variances, standard deviations and frequency distributions, and inferential statistics. The results show that there is a positive relationship between family structure and household economy, and that people living in the urban are better off than those in the semi-rural or rural areas. The study further indicated that female and youth headed households or families are disadvantaged as compared to male and adult headed households or families.

Abstract
Existentialism is a philosophical trend that concerns itself with concrete experience of man. This paper comparatively studies Kierkegaard’s and African existentialism. It discovers that Western existentialism springs mainly from the notion of nothingness of human existence and man’s limiting existential conditions. Kierkegaard himself emphasizes subjective existence through the challenging experiences of life as the sure way to authentic existence. On the other hand, while positioning itself in direct opposition to this pessimistic understanding of man’s existence, African existentialism spices itself with optimism grounded in the understanding that man is the beauty and apex of God’s creation. The paper also establishes various notions of Kierkegaard’s existentialism that are comparable to that of Africans. It therefore concludes that both existential perspectives strive to understand man in his lived experiences in order to direct him towards authentic existence but from diverse points of subjective and communal life’s experiences. It concludes that African existentialism offers a more balanced attitude to life through the interplay of personal and community existence. .

Abstract
The work studied how the Church could serve as a pathway to national rebirth with emphasis on Matt 5: 13-16. Using analytical and descriptive methods, the paper discussed the theological implications of the Church being salt and light in the context of Nigeria. The metaphorical parlance and symbolic understanding of these elements of light and salt both in the Biblical and social world is not only significant but instructive. For instance, salt is a sign of covenant while light is a sign of orderliness and progress. In other words, salt preserves while light is a guide and could also be a warning light. In the face of endemic corruption, bad leadership, lack of value for human life, materialism, greed, covetousness, worldly pleasure, instant glory through rituals among young people and the likes that are prevalent in contemporary Nigeria, one then wonders what impact Churches are making in the country. Jesus enjoined his followers to “let their light shine before others, so that they may see their good works and give glory to the father in heaven (Matt. 5:16). The work therefore emphasized areas where the Church in Nigeria can make appreciable impacts and further explained that even though our society is corrupt and full of abominable things, the Church must be the salt and the light. This it maintains could be achieved if she retained her distinctiveness, stand for and speak out the truth, protest against folly, deceit and wickedness. The paper recommended that the Church should rise to the challenge of Matt 5:13-16 in order to achieve a successful national rebirth.

Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of workers participation in implementation of safety standards in textile manufacturing companies in Kenya. Theories that anchored the study include: Heinrich domino theory, Human factor theory, behavioral based Safety theory, system theory and social exchange theory. Methods: The target population included all the 22 textile manufacturing companies in the export processing zone. This study sampled 400 respondents and adopted a descriptive cross sectional research design. Data was collected using questionnaire and key informant’s interviews and coded for computerized data entry. Data analysis included descriptive and inferential analysis which were done using statistical package for social Sciences. Inferential statistics was carried out by the use of multiple regression analysis to determine the significance of the independent variable and moderating variable in respect of employee performance in textile industries in Kenya. Hypothesis testing was carried out using t-test. Result: Inferential statistical analysis revealed that there was a correlation between worker’s participation and employee performance (r = 0.701). Conclusion: The study concluded that workers participation in implementation of safety standards if properly utilized contributes to improved employee performance in textile manufacturing companies in Kenya. The study recommends that textile manufacturing companies should conduct periodic safety training and awareness of safety standards among their employees. Well-structured policies should be formulated and enforced to ensure compliance among employees. It further recommended that workers should be involved in decision making of safety standards.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the added value of Arabica coffee in Trawas District, Mojokerto Regency, East Java, Indonesia. The location determination was carried out in Trawas District, Mojokerto Regency with the consideration that the research location is one of the Arabica coffee development areas in East Java Province. The population in this study consisted of group leaders, coffee farmers, coffee processors and the Department of Agriculture in Mojokerto Regency. A sample of 10 respondents from a total of 13 respondents was taken using a purposive technique. To determine the amount of added value obtained from processing cocoa and coffee, using the value added calculation method used by Hayami, et.al (1987). The results showed that the value added analysis of the Arabica coffee processing business in Ketapanrame Village and Trawas Village resulted in the added value of natural processed green bean coffee of IDR 3,284.09 with a value added ratio of 30.1%. The added value of ground coffee is Rp. 9,750.00 with a ratio of 48.75%. Meanwhile, the added value analysis of green bean processing Wine method in coffee processing farms in Ketapanrame and Trawas villages is Rp. 10,022.06 with a ratio of 56.79%.

Abstract
Despite the adoption of the competency-based approach and the establishment in Cameroon of the teaching of English right from primary schools some twenty years ago, communicating in English is still a difficult task among French-speaking students. The present survey shows that, out of seventy-two students cumulating at least nine years of English studies, only three were able to prove themselves competent in an elementary communication situation that required them to introduce themselves by correctly forming five sentences indicating the following: name, age, date and place of birth, number of years they had been studying English. It seems therefore, that the teaching of communicative English may not have been effective in the Cameron education system whose lack of internal efficiency is also confirmed

Abstract
Mental health (MH) has always been disassociated from physical health in the mainstream healthcare domain, and so has mental healthcare access. However, with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, it was not just about physical health; the pandemic and the ensuing lockdown highlighted the challenges people face with mental health issues. With a global pandemic, there was a sudden drastic change in the lives of the people, such as restricted movements, lack of human warmth/touch, change in work and study mode, loss of loved ones, heightened emotions and very few ways to process or express them resulted in the rise of mental health issues. For a problem to be resolved, acknowledgement is required first. An increase in MH issues came with a positive acknowledgement around of problem. Some with acceptance, some with initial denial, started to look for ways to deal with the changes. In this age of technology, seeking help regarding MH issues is also moving online, and this paper will deal with this question. We are going to look at the dimensional change in accessing MH care service in the age where most of the time of people is being spent online.

Abstract
The material that makes up the institution buildings for learning activities must meet the required standard for temperature and sound level, else, learning process and the end-users will be affected. Meanwhile, aluminium material that has gained incessant usage as roof covering material for institution buildings in Nigeria is known to be poor insulator of sound and heat. This study, therefore, investigates the contribution of roof covering materials to the acoustic and thermal effect on learning activities in institution buildings with a view to improve the learning environment and health of the end-users in Nigeria. The buildings studied are the lecture halls, library, and student hostel. Using the Krejcie and Morgan (1970) table, a total of 384 sample sizes drawn with the questionnaire were administered, and the number returned and filled was analysed using chi-square and regression analysis. The findings show the disadvantage of aluminium roof covering that includes sound interference during learning activities, diverted attention among students and reduced teaching ability of the teacher or instructors mostly in both the lecture hall and the library. In addition, the material’s poor heat insulation nature causes increased sweating and headache. Therefore, recommendations that can sustain the available material best fit the available cost were made based on the study research findings

Two tertiary college were selected as cases studies, namely, Tanzania Public Service College (TPSC) and Dar es Salaam Maritime Institute (DMI).The study aimed at examining the status of digital literacy adoption, determining the use of digital literacy on their day-to-day activities, and identifying challenges of digital literacy adoption and use among libraries in selected colleges. A sample of 98 library users were selected as respondents. Data was collected through questionnaire and face-to-face interview. Quantitative data was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, while content analysis was used for qualitative data. The findings show that majority of the respondents were aware of the adoption and use of Digital Literacy, but faced challenges such as technophobia, lack of enough and supported instructions on digital literacy, poor power supply to support internet, and insufficient digital literacy facilities. In fact, the majority of respondents had adopted and used digital literacy for less than a year. The use of digital literacy has a number of benefits such as easy and quick access of information, retrieval of library information in cataloguing and classification, as well as accessing different databases to acquire relevant data and information. The study recommends that the government and top management of institutions or colleges should make available more funds to support libraries in the adoption and use of digital literacy, allow librarians to take short courses to enhance adoption and use of digital literacy, purchase more digital literacy facilities, purchase a strong standby generator, and accommodate digital literacy programmes in college curricula.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of monetary policy on deposit money banks lending in Nigeria (2000 – 2020) using secondary data from Statistical bulletin of Central Bank of Nigeria. The research work used the Vector Autoregressive Estimates to test the effect of the independent variables (Monetary Policy Rate, Liquidity Ratio, Cash Reserve Ratio and Loan to Deposit Ratio) on the dependent variable (Total loans and advances). The study found that monetary policy has negative and significant effect on deposit money banks lending in Nigeria within the period of the study. The study therefore advocates that monetary authority should strive to maintain a reasonable interest rate that will tends to reduce cost of borrowing and lending in the economy. There is need to strengthen bank loan and advance and monetary policy through effective and efficient regulation and supervisory framework. Government should through the Central Bank of Nigeria ensure working monetary policy instrument and make a periodic review of the polices in a way that will encourage bank lending. Monetary authority should manage the lending rate properly for it to be attractive and affordable for investors to borrow money from the bank. In conclusion, monetary policy rate, liquidity ratio, cash reserve ratio and loan to deposit ratio should be looked into by monetary authority in a way that is friendly to loan advancement especially relating to those who are in need of it. Finally, monetary policy should not be used in isolation but in collaboration with fiscal policy

Abstract
Properly designed business studies textbook promotes effective and independent learning through appropriate learning assignments yielding achievement of learning objectives for sustained academic results in business studies. Learning assignments in business studies textbook offers learner with opportunity to develop skills and master requisite knowledge accelerating exciting learning process paving way for lively episodes of learning in and outside classroom. However, inappropriate or amorphous questions in core textbook limits realization of specific objectives blocking knowledge construction and as a result degrading learners’ mean score in business studies. The study adopted exploratory research design through quantitative and qualitative approach to data collection and analysis. Counts, percentages, means, standard deviations, Chi square tests and content analysis were used for data analysis. Cross tabulation of results indicated that learning assignments significantly influence quality of Business studies textbook implying that appropriate learning assignment supports achievement of learning for sustained learning experience. Further analysis showed that subject goals, skill development and concept mastery influence quality of learning assignments encouraging knowledge retention and recall ability among leaners. Therefore, it is recommended that relevant learning assignments be provided in business studies textbook in order to accelerate learning across the school system.

Abstract
Localized banditry had swiftly grown with a bush fire effect consuming almost the entire Northwest geo-political region of Nigeria in recent times, its rapid transformation to becoming a more deadly attrition, and the potential of overturning the socio-economic, security and political wellbeing of the entire Northern region. This study examines the remote and immediate causes of tribalized security challenges as armed banditry, with a special interest from the aftermath of 2015 elections and the emergence of Muslim, Hausa-Fulani President, with an anti-corruption inclination, which coincided with unprecedented diverse uprisings and security impasses. The study also examines the armed banditry trend, extent of their appalling activities and how it affects socio-economic wellbeing within the affected region. The study further assesses the appropriateness and effectiveness of coercive approach to such localized upheavals, leveraging on propositions of Securitization (Copenhagen) Theorist, whose primary assumptions are hinged around multifaceted approach to security; and their justification for taking extraordinary and rule breaking measures in handling insecurity. The study further explores effectiveness of forcible approaches in other context through a peer-review analysis to infer likely outcome of current strategy applied by Nigeria. The study offers more suitable solutions and proffer practical policy recommendations. Most recent studies on the subject matter would be studied and credible data from existing research would be reviewed.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effects of global sourcing on supply chain performance in dairy manufacturing companies in Zimbabwe. A mixed-method approach was used and a sample size of 24 procurement staff for the questionnaire was selected from a population of 25 procurement professionals in dairy manufacturing companies. Interviews were carried out with procurement professionals from dairy manufacturing companies. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16 was used to analyze quantitative data whilst thematic analysis was used to analyze qualitative data. The findings of the study show that global sourcing practices had a significant positive effect on the quality of purchased materials, an insignificant positive effect on landing cost of materials, and a significant negative effect on stock availability of materials. The study concluded that the adoption of global sourcing may not guarantee improved supply chain performance in dairy manufacturing companies. This means that the effectiveness of global sourcing may depend on the sector and context in which it is applied. Therefore, it was recommended that dairy manufacturing companies need to consider adopting global sourcing practices and other supportive local sourcing strategies to improve their supply chain performance in the context of developing countries.

Abstract
The study aims to unravel the challenges that solo parent workers face in their workplace while simultaneously exploring their struggles beyond their career or profession. The implementation of Republic Act No. 8972, also known as the “Solo Parents’ Welfare Act of 2000” Section 6 (Flexible Work Schedule) and Section 8 (Parental leave) were also assessed by the proponents on randomly selected BPO companies in the Philippines. The purpose of this study is to create a narrative based on the stories of solo parents and how the implementation of the stated legislation affects them. This study revealed different narratives on how solo parents face challenges, how the people around them affect them, and the instances they consider as the most challenging as a solo parent. In addressing the challenges faced by solo parent employees, it was emphasized that both companies and the government has its role to play. In the perspective of the offices concerned with the mentioned sector, implementing the legislation for solo parents will be favorable for the company because it can improve their solo parent employees’ productivity since they can exert more focus on their job. Moreover, it is conspicuous that most solo parent participants are not that knowledgeable regarding the other provisions of the law. Motions in the Congress about the amendments of the said law are mentioned as well. The study was completed with the intention to benefit solo parent workers, company’s productivity together with its human resource department that exercises the legislation’s virtue efficiently.

Abstract
The study investigated how anxiety and stress correlates with financial adjustment among pre-retirement age public primary school teachers in North-Eastern Nigeria. Three specific objectives with corresponding research questions guided the study and three hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted a correlational research design. The population of the study made up of 53,142 public primary school teachers in 10, 173 schools in North Eastern, Nigeria. The sample size for the study was 397 public primary school teachers. The selection of sample size was done using proportionate stratified random sampling and convenience sampling techniques. The instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire titled “Anxiety, Stress and Financial Adjustment Questionnaire (ASFAQ)”. The questionnaire was validated by five experts and its reliability was established using Cronbach Alpha method. The reliability coefficients were 0.65 for the anxiety scale, 0.72 for stress scale and 0.61 for financial adjustment scale. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMC) and Multiple Regression Analysis were used for data analysis via Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Findings of the study revealed that anxiety and stress correlated negatively with financial adjustment among pre-retirement age public primary school teachers. The test of hypotheses found that anxiety and stress significantly predict financial adjustment of pre-retirement age public primary school teachers in North–Eastern Nigeria. The study concluded that anxiety and stress play significant roles in determining the financial retirement adjustment of pre-retirement age public primary school teachers. Based on the findings, the researcher recommended that, counsellors should adopt interventions like the pre-retirement counselling therapy to help teachers with anxiety issues who are finding it difficult to make social decisions that can have impact on their lives during retirement.

Abstract
One serious problem currently facing primary education in Nigeria is illiteracy. An alarmingly high percentage of primary school children are not learning to read, that is, they cannot use reading as a tool of learning, a problem which is also synonymous to writing. Researchers have also identified factors such as teachers’ quality, school factor and availability of reading materials, foreign language usage, as factors that could be responsible for such marred development of literacy skills in children. However, most studies on the influence of home language on children’s literacy skills were all foreign studies. In view of these, this study investigates home environment as correlate of literacy skills of primary pupils in Ibadan metropolis. The study adopted a correlational survey research design. Simple random sampling technique was used to select one and twenty (120) primary three pupils. Pupils reading assessment (0.92), Pupils’ Home-environment and literacy Questionnaire (0.70) as well as Writing assessment scale (0.91) were the instruments used in the study. Two research question were answered using inferential statistic of Pearson product movement correlation. The findings revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between home environment and reading skills of pupils. (r=0.30; p<0.05), but no significant relationship between home environment and writing skills (r=-0.04; p>0.05). The study recommended that effort must be made on the part of the parents to ensure that their home environment is such that facilitates and stimulates the literacy skills of their children

Abstract
The study assessed pre-harvest losses of banana and its effect on the social wellbeing of farmers in Boyo Division. It have as objectives to; assess banana production systems in Boyo division, examine the extent of pre-harvest losses of banana in Boyo division, and assess the effect of the losses on the social wellbeing of the farmers. The study employed multi-stage sampling techniques to select 380 respondents from three out of four Sub-divisions in Boyo Division. Data was obtained from the respondents with the aid of Questionnaire, Focus Group Discussions and Key Informant Interviews. The data obtained was analysed using descriptive statistics and relational content analysis. The results revealed that majority of banana farmers practiced banana-coffee intercrop with farm sizes ranging from 0.1-4 hectares. Majority of the producers (87%) were smallholders’ farmers. The results further revealed that during the 2019/2020 cropping cycle, an estimated amount of 89,272 banana suckers were planted/maintained, 61,055 plants harvested, while 28,217 plants were lost at pre-harvest stage. Most of the losses (21-30%) were recorded in the banana-coffee intercrop system. These quantity lost subjected a significant proportion, 81% and 59% of the farmers’ households to food shortages, inability to access good health facilities and societal commitments. The study therefore, concludes that pre-harvest losses of bananas significantly affect the social wellbeing of the farmers and recommend that intercropping should be reduced and improved cultivation practices provided to the farmers.

Abstract
This paper presents a social measure adopted by accommodation establishment amid global health pandemic in Naval, Biliran. The aim is to evaluate the social measure practices of different accommodation establishment to provide recommendations for the improvement of the Hospitality industry during this pandemic. This paper used descriptive approach to assess the demographic profile of the respondents such as age, sex, civil status, name of the establishment, services offered, total number of rooms, amenities and the social measure used by the establishment. It was revealed that majority of the accommodation establishments has set a limit on the number of bookings and guests in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the area. During working hours, the majority of the employees engages in social distancing and employs social measures and the management adapt DOH social measures as a policy in their workplaces. Thus, it is recommended that the management should follow protocols from the government to avoid spread of the Covid-19. Data and profiling of guests and staff should be monitored by management so that they can be easily tracked down.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the Volumetric Computed Tomography Dose Index, Dose Length Product and the effective dose of radiation delivered during routine head Computed tomography examination in children less than 15 years at Moi Teaching and Referral hospital and their association with Body Mass Index and age.
Methods: This was a descriptive cross sectional study done at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. A total number of 127 patients aged between 0 to 15years were recruited into the study using systematic sampling technique. Data was collected from the Computed tomography console and estimated effective dose calculated. Categorical variables were summarized as frequencies and percentages. Bivariate analysis was done using T-test to test for association between the dependent and independent variables between the groups. Pearson correlation coefficient and scatter plots were used to describe the relationship between the radiation doses, age and Body Mass Index. A P value of <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
Results: The mean age for the participants studied was 5.21years. The most common indication for Computed tomography was hydrocephalus (24%). The average Computed Tomography Dose Index, Dose Length Product and effective dose was 32.84 mGy, 1006.1 mGy.cm and 4.01mSv respectively.
The effective radiation dose decreased as age increased (4.31 to 3.25 mSv, with a P= 0.025 and R=0. 511. There was no association between Body Mass Index and the effective dose (R=0.076).
Conclusion: Computed Tomography Dose Index of the patients are within normal parameters with other places in the world. The Dose Length Product and effective dose are within range with the ones of National Diagnostic Reference Level for Kenya but higher than others countries such as Turkey. There was statistically significant correlation between age and effective dose.

Abstract
This paper examines how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the refugee’s livelihood and the on-going economic inclusion in Kenya. We analyse the impact of the pandemic on various refugee settlements such as, Kalobeyei Settlement, and urban areas in the host country compared to the formal camps (Kakuma and Dadaab), Kenya. By doing so, we use the Difference-in-Differences evaluation analysis to access the impact of the pandemic on the refugee’s livelihood (refugees’ income) and the economic inclusion (relief services). We use data collected by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) from May to July 2020 in Kenya to empirically analyse the effect of COVID-19 on the refugees. Our findings show that the refugees in the Kalobeyei settlement and urban areas livelihoods have been negatively and significantly affected than the refugees in the formal camps, Kakuma and Dadaab. Moreover, our analysis reveals that the pandemic has increased the aid dependency of Kalobeyei and urban refugees in Kenya. That means the COVID-19 has negatively impacted on-going refugees’ economic inclusion in Kenya.

Abstract
Education is a process of imparting knowledge, skill and attitudes to the learners through the appropriate use of languages. The state of Nigeria’s education system had hindered the process of empowerment of youths in the country. The paper examines the role of indigenous languages as an instrument for the provision of qualitative and functional education that would instill in the life of the youth an entrepreneurial skill for self-reliance. Education, formal and non-formal, public awareness and training are considered as key processes by which humans and the society can reach their full potential. However, despite the huge investment of Nigerian government in education at all levels, many Nigerians are still wallowing in abject poverty. The youths happened to be the worst affected because they lack the informal type of education that can allow entrepreneurial diversity, therefore their hope is on the government and the few corrupt elites without a mind of being self employed. Indigenous language education which despises idleness, instills discipline and stimulate creativity have become a thing of the past in our society. Data were collected based on variables such as folklore, names, proverbs, taboo through a structured interview of identified resource persons and relevant textbooks and these were analysed. The findings revealed that indigenous language is such a potent tool that will allow youths to diversify their employment search from mainly white-collar jobs to self empowerment, having the strong mind that no job is too low for an idle hand, or else the devil will find work for them. The paper hereby posits that empowering our youth through our indigenous language is the best course of action by exposing them to different teaching in our culture.

Abstract
The increasing competition and other challenges faced by banks in Nigeria have made it necessary for them to look inward so as to distinguish their individual services through Customer Relationship Management (CRM). The motivation of study to researcher is to examine the role of customer relationship management (CRM), positive word of mouth (PWM), organization prestige (OP) on customer loyalty (CL). Being a descriptive study, survey method is adopted for data collection. For data collection purpose, a questionnaire on the 5-point Likert scale was adopted and distributed among employees of banks. 390 questionnaires were administered and 360 respondents were recovered and using the partial least squares path modeling method (Smart PLS) analysis was used for the test of hypotheses. The result of the test of the first hypothesis shows that there is significant relationship between customer relationship management and customer loyalty. The test of the second hypothesis shows that there is a significant relationship between customer relationship management programme implementation and organisation prestige. The third hypothesis also affirmed that there is significant relationship between Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Positive Word of Mouth (PWM). The forth hypothesis shows that good organisation prestige has significant impact on customer loyalty. The fifth hypothesis has slight contradiction and shows that positive word of mouth does not really has significant relationship with customer loyalty. In view of these findings, it was recommended, that banks should put good customer relationship management (CRM) in place in order to enhance their customers which are capable of having improvement in customer loyalty.

Abstract
This research centered on effects of instruction in mechanical accuracy on correct spelling and the use of comma in composition writing by students in College of Education Billiri. It was geared towards improving students’ performance in essay writing. A quasi experimental research design was adopted. The population was NCE I students of College of Education Billiri, Gombe State. A sample of 112 NCE 1 students selected purposively was used. Two intact classes of NCE I students, one as the control and the other as experimental group were used. Two research questions and two hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The 2018 WASSCE questions were adapted and used to collect data, and the data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and t-test statistics. The results showed a significant difference between students who received treatment on mechanical accuracy as they achieved higher than those who did not. The study concluded that instruction in mechanical accuracy improves students’ correct spelling and use of comma in composition writing. Based on these findings, a number of recommendations were made, major among is that teachers of English composition writing should teach mechanical accuracy separately for the learners to apply the rules while composing essays.

Abstract
Poverty has been viewed severally as a phenomenon that constitutes a major menace threatening the whole fabric of the development process in developing economies worldwide. However, attempts made to reduce this menace have not produced any significant positive results in Nigeria. It is for this purpose that this study investigates the relative contributions of disaggregated government social expenditure to income poverty reduction in Nigeria. The study adopted an ex post facto research design using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model technique to analyse time-series data for a period from 1981 to 2020. The results established a long-run relationship between government social recurrent expenditure capital transfer and social transfer. CT and GSEX were found to be inversely related to poverty reduction (dPOVR). On the other hand, however, ST was found to be positively related to dPOVR. The study, therefore, concluded that while CT and ST have potentials for poverty reduction in Nigeria, increased government on GESX will further increase poverty. The study, therefore, recommended that government should prioritise the investment in social infrastructure in the rural areas where most of the poor in Nigeria reside, and this should be complemented with sustainable improvement in the government’s social recurrent expenditures on education, health and sanitation. To also make ST more effective, we further recommended that government should put in place reliable programs of social transfer and revisit government policies on pension and gratuities.

Abstract
I. INTRODUCTION
There has been a mushrooming of blogs on the Internet; in 1999, there were about 50 existing blogs and they were only known by a few individuals (Johnson, Kaye, Bichard, & Wong, 2007). However 29 percent (57 million) of American Internet users’ accessed blogs (Lenhart & Fox, 2006) and 8 out of 10 Americans knew what a blog was and almost half of America had visited blogs (Synovate, 2007). This phenomenal growth may be due to the dynamic nature of blogs; however, the aspect of ethical practices requires to be observed. While some blogs are updated weekly, many more are updated hourly (or even more frequently), with postings in reverse chronological order. Most are interactive and allow viewers to post comments (Lenhart & Fox, 2006). Unlike static websites, blogs depend upon hyperlinks not only to boost attention to their own blog but also ensure that users can be quickly led to relevant information. At their idealized best, we blogs are said to be a space to reflect on the ‘deluge of data’ (Blood, 2002) that receive, offering an antidote to the mass-mediated, corporatized culture that surrounds. They have the capability to report the news without constraints of censure or the pressures of advertising and draw upon a diverse range of sources. At their reductive worst, bloggers have been said to be strongly opinionated and even vitriolic in response to those who oppose their political positions (Johnson & Kaye, 2004).

Abstract
The Yasmin Christian Church conflict in Indonesia has been finalized after 15 years of conflict over establishing a house of worship in Bogor, Indonesia. In settlement of cases in the world’s spotlight, violence after violence continues to haunt Indonesian society, famous for its plurality. There is only a final settlement after 15 years of conflict: the establishment of the Yasmin Indonesian Christian church in Bogor, Indonesia. The granting of Building Permits by the Bogor City Government as evidence of the end of the long conflict of the Indonesian Christian Church yasmin that has been going on for approximately 15 years, which the Bogor Government carried out, is one of the efforts to appreciate the diversity that exists in the city of Bogor. Granting Building Permit documents is not the final process, but the Bogor Government promises to continue to be treated sustainably to maintain diversity. This conflict resolution process is in the spotlight of the world. This conflict was initially a locally based issue but became a national issue and even became a spotlight in the international world. This event is a peaceful message from Bogor to the world that peace can be achieved by mutual respect and compliance with rules that have been mutually agreed upon by all parties. Indonesia’s message of peaceful democracy and respect for human rights and religious freedom offered to the international community has arrived, thus attracting the world’s attention.

Abstract
The promotion, protection and violation of human rights constitute one of the most recurring arenas of debate in international politics. All states proclaim their commitment to human rights. This commitment was consolidated with the adoption of the United Nations (UN) Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, and other related instruments. But the quest to match that ideal with reality by committed governments, international and regional organisations has not been easy because gross human rights violations still exist across the globe. These violations have shaken national and international legitimacy of some governments. The objective of this paper is to explore aspects of the problems which are vital to the study of human rights and governance.

Abstract
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict constitutes an ideal case study for addressing the difficulty of national interest in foreign policy formulation. Nagorno-Karabakh occupied by Armenia is recognized by the international community as a part of Azerbaijan. Unresolved for a few years, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has verified a true Gordian knot. This article examines the role of external actors, specifically role of Russia in this conflict. Russia is widely thought of to be the foremost relevant and anxious regional power. Russia’s ambition to retain the Soviet era influence in its strategic backyards, the geopolitical importance of Nagorno-Karabakh and its relations with Armenia and Azerbaijan made itself a crucial regional actor in this conflict. Russia possesses authority to escalate and deescalate through military assistance and mediation. This article demonstrates that Russia utilizes the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to maximize its national interest in the south Caucasian region.

Abstract
Widespread insecurity in Nigeria predisposes schools and institutions of learning to constant attacks by terrorists, kidnappers and bandits. This endangers life and learning infrastructure thereby affecting school enrolment, psychological and mental wellbeing of students, guardians and teachers while exposing them to financial extortion. Predicated upon the country’s overstretched security structures and apparatuses, this paper examines the interplay between education and security for the purpose of identifying ways of collaboration between schools and security agencies to mitigate the tides of insecurity. The paper is expository in nature such that content analysis is used. Thus, Structural Functionalist theory is adopted as a framework of analysis. It is identified that political, social and professional factors are likely to undermine synergy that will stem the tides of criminality perpetrated against students and schools. The paper recommended among other things, government and stakeholders within Nigeria’s education and security systems should emphasise and facilitate rapid linkage between the two sectors to exploit their potentials and strengthen the needed interrelationship between them under a defined framework.

Abstract
While there is a significant rise in electronic learning (e-learning) adoption and digital accessibility across Africa recently due to new normal COVID as it was the situation before now. Nigeria still suffers from acute digital and electronic poverty that continues to exacerbate educational inequalities. The continual challenges facing the traditional teaching strategies and teacher education such like insecurity and pandemic as currently been witness in Nigeria and worldwide demanded the use of alternative teaching strategies to enhance teaching and learning. Hence, adopting electronic teaching and learning strategies will promote equal access to learning as well as promoting digital equity among the citizens. This write up x-rays this concept of e-learning and digital equality with specific descriptions of various e-learning strategies, tools and resources that will promote effective teaching and learning in the country. It was recommended that all stakeholders should do all things possible to evoke e-learning and digital literacy to the teaching and learning process in the country for effectiveness and continuity of education irrespective of natural or man-made challenges.

Abstract
In today’s organizations managers are increasingly becoming aware that the proper use of knowledge can be a source of sustainable competitive advantage. While it is true that organizations try to attract the best personnel in terms of skill and experience, these skills do not automatically translate to increased efficiency, productivity and sustainable competitive advantage. Research has shown that worldwide organizations lose up to $10 billion due to lack of knowledge sharing. [1].Drawing from secondary sources of data the roles of individual, managerial and contextual factors in facilitating or impeding knowledge sharing has been analyzed. The benefits of knowledge sharing include improved organizational productivity, development of new strategic capabilities, better customer service, development of new knowledge, improved job satisfaction to the employees and job security among others [5], [6],[8], [4].The individual, managerial and contextual factors hindering knowledge sharing have been identified by,[5-6], [9], [4], [10], and others. These can be mitigated through better managerial practices for the benefits of knowledge sharing to be realised.

Abstract
Many children find it difficult to pay attention during class and in general activities. Their attention span is very low and they struggle to progress. Teachers find it difficult to keep the children focused on a topic for a certain period of time. Parents are constantly complaining of their child’s low attention span and the inability to stay focused or perform a simple instruction. In order to help the children, increase attention span many research techniques and strategies are being analyzed and applied. From a very early age children start entering preschools. Most of their time of a day is spent at school. This clearly highlights that teachers play a great role in a child’s life. Teachers are able to identify a variety of skills in the children. They are able to see the child’s strengths and weaknesses. Benjamin Franklin stated that when a child is spoken to, he may forget, when taught he may remember but when the child is involved in the activity they would learn effectively. This clearly highlights that giving children hands on activities would not only keep their interest but they would learn effectively. manner. The activities presented in this study are fun based which allows the child and teacher to enjoy the session together. Teachers could use them as a base in their lesson plans and enrich the child’s development which in turn would help to increase the child’s attention span. Through this action research parents, teachers and educationists would be able to highly benefit and provide the needed input to the child and in turn help the child towards success.

Abstract
This paper seeks to empirically assess the impact of Lafia Emirate Council on inter-ethnic relations from 1999 to 2019 using descriptive and correlation matrix. Inter-ethnic relations in an environment with high degree of diversity often become tense since the advent of the Nigerian fourth republic. Lafia Emirate is a miniature Nigeria, consisting of diverse ethnic and religious groups. However, the crises and contestations that have characterized the polity of the country especially its upsurge since the return to democracy in May 29, 1999 was relatively tamed in the Emirate due to the impact of the Emirate Council in moderating inter-ethnic relations in the area. The paper attempted an empirical x-ray into the impact of the Lafia Emirate Council on inter-ethnic relations in the Emirate. After reviewing relevant literature and firsthand information gathered through questionnaires, primary and secondary data were analyzed guided by the social capital theory. The findings have revealed positive impact of the Lafia Emirate Council on inter-ethnic relations on virtually almost all the key variables tested. It’s suggested the need for constitutional roles for Emirate Councils to achieve more rewarding successes. The mediation and reconciliation role of traditional rulers should be strengthened and institutionalized to serve as an alternative conflict resolution mechanism in view of its efficacy and mending of relationship and fences.

Abstract
The Bureau of Education created by the 2nd Philippine Commission in 1901 was unquestionably viewed as a valuable public institution which strategically advanced American colonial interests in the Philippines. Its formation was based on the fundamental belief held by the McKinley-led U.S. government that a colonial public school system for the Filipino children could gradually dampen anti-occupation resistance. Thus, the American-sponsored Bureau of Education played its vital role as agent of Pacification obviously aimed at earning trust and support from the inhabitants of the province of Capiz beginning its establishment in 1901. This paper explored the role of the American public school system, directly carried out by the Bureau of Education, as an integral part of the pacification campaign specifically in the Visayan province of Capiz during the early years of American occupation between 1900 and 1905. This paper examined the two basic functions the Bureau of Education assumed as an agent of pacification; and underscored how it contributed to the capitulation of the entire province.

Abstract
There is no denying the fact that folk music of Bangladesh plays a vital role in representing a diverse cultural hybridization. It is also very closely connected to the emotional phase of the people as it not only stirs emotions but also tells tales of common people. With the accompaniment of the musical instruments, it has a universal appeal. Besides, folk music of Bangladesh is one of the good examples of a ‘Nation-Thing. A ‘Nation-Thing’ is something that belongs to only one particular group or community of people. It represents itself from every aspect of life, art and culture of a nation in front of other countries of the world nationally as well as internationally. Above all, it is connected to a community’s way of life, their traditions and social practices, rituals and myths. In this article my intention is to explore how folk songs play a dynamic role in representing Bangladeshi art and culture in different ways.

Youths prefer an autonomous and independent life that is free from adult control, thereby engaging in various delinquent acts like substance abuse, rape, robbery, cultism, hooliganism and vandalism that are dangerous to the home, community, school and the nation at large. The effects of substance abuse among youths has been a stigma of moral decadence, violence, thuggery, assault, madness and murder. This research attempts to provide the Islamic appraisal of the concept of Substance abuse, types, causes, signs, symptoms, effects and solution of substance abuse particularly among the Muslim youths in Nasarawa West Senatorial District of Nasarawa State. The research also tries to find out the level of involvement of Muslim youths in Nasarawa West Senatorial District in substance abuse. The method of data collection was through the use of questionnaires which was distributed to target respondents within the study area which is Nasarawa West Senatorial District of Nasarawa State, Nigeria. The result of the investigation shows that 50.36% of the Muslim youths in Nasarawa West Senatorial District are involved in substance abuse in one way or the other. The result also shows the common drugs abused by the Muslim youths in Nasarawa West Senatorial District includes Cigarette, Marijuana (wiwi), Blue, Lara, Farida, Detail, Tutolin with Codeine, Magadone, Tramol etc. This is considered as serious problem because the Muslim youths in Nasarawa West Senatorial District are being prepared to become the future leaders of the State and the nation at large. Recommendations were such as prohibiting the sell as well as identifying the dealers of such substance around Nasarawa West Senatorial District and its environs with the aim of bringing them to face the wrath of the law.

Abstract
Various researchers have established the need for researchers to position their research problem in the research gap of the study area. This does not only indicate the relevance of the study but it demonstrates the significant contribution it would make in the field of study. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a systematic literature review on the concept of research gaps and provoke a discussion on the contemporary literature on types of research gaps. The paper discusses the various approaches for researchers to identify, align and position research problems, research design, and methodology in the research gaps to achieve relevance in their findings and study. A systematic review of the current literature on research gaps might assist beginning researchers in the justification of research problems. Given the acceptable tenet of developing a research agenda, design, and development on a research gap, many early career researchers especially (post)graduate students have difficulties in systematically identifying research gaps as a basis for conducting research work. The significance of this paper is two-fold. First, it provides a systematic review of literature on the identification of research gaps to undertake research that would challenge assumptions and underlying existing theories in a significant way. Second, it provides a theoretical discussion on the importance of developing research problems on research gaps to structure their study.

Abstract
The study examined the development potential of the Zimbabwean diaspora communities living in Botswana. The current study sought to fill a gap in the interrogation of the willingness and capacity of Zimbabweans living in Botswana to participate in development projects in Zimbabwe. The research was carried out in Botswana using mail and electronic questionnaires, in depth interviews and ethnographic data. Fifty mail survey respondents, 7 electronic survey respondents and 12 in depth study respondents were used in the current study. The mixed method approach used yielded data that could not have been obtained with one method only. Using the transnational capability framework, the research established the existence of both skilled and unskilled Diaspora in Botswana. The study observed that the Zimbabwean community in Botswana is actively involved in transnational activities. The study established that there is willingness to participate in the advancement of their families and communities in Zimbabwe. There are some challenges that hinder the full participation of the Diaspora community that were noted in the study. The shorter periods covered by permits affect the migrants’ capacity to access loans from banks or engage in long term planning as they risk non-renewal of permits. On the Zimbabwean side the economic and political uncertainty affect the commitment by some Zimbabweans in the diaspora to invest in Zimbabwe. The possibility of engagement between Zimbabweans in the diaspora is affected by lack of trust between the current government and the citizens in the Diaspora. The study recommended that the government of Zimbabwe should create a database of Zimbabweans living in Botswana to determine and tap the available skills base for capacity building. The Governments of Botswana and Zimbabwe are recommended to discuss extension of permits and granting of dual citizens to Zimbabwean applicants for the benefit of both countries. There is also need for the Zimbabwean Government to reduce duty on capital goods to allow the Diaspora community to bring productive capital for investment.

Abstract
This study aimed at investigating the relationship between parenting styles and academic performance of secondary school students in public and private schools in Lamu County, Kenya. The study employed an embedded mixed-method study design by combining correlational survey and phenomenological research designs. The study was informed by Vygotsky’s theory of cognitive development. The target population was 648 Form two students and 25 headteachers. A sample of 247 students was selected using simple random sampling and 8 head teachers were selected through convenience sampling. The study used questionnaires, interview schedule, and document analyses to collect data. Quantitative data were analyzed using Pearson’s product-moment correlation analysis while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that there is a non– significant weak negative relationship between authoritarian parenting style, authortitatve parenting style and academic performance of secondary school students. The study further established a negative significant relationship between permissive and uninvolved parenting styles and academic performance. The study recommended that Schools should organize forums for parents to enlighten them on parenting to address the gap existing in parenting. Such forums will enable parents to be warm, responsive, present, supportive and responsible to their children and in this process, embrace authoritative parenting which will enhance their children’s academic performance.

Abstract
As a developing country, Sri Lanka faces many problems, and presently they show an increasing trend. Among them, social disparities, terrorism, traffic in illegal narcotics, and crime are predominant. Most researchers feel that crime has increased since the 1970s. Criminologists believe that property crimes are increasing when a country develops. But, in Sri Lanka, robbery as a grave crime has decreased in the course of time though its clarification has changed from time to time. This study draws on the robbery rates prevalent in Sri Lanka during the period of 2003 to 2019, which records a considerable decrease in the number of robberies from 40.64 in 2003 to 13.46 in 2019. The research problem is primarily concerned with the impacts of robbery both as a property crime and a violent crime, and how far it has affected the normal life of the citizens of the country as it stands at 11% of the total number of grave crimes of the country.
Therefore, this study was aimed at finding the nature and the impacts of robbery on victims. Further, the study has taken into consideration the causes of robbery as well as the characteristics of perpetrators. Forty-six victims of the robbery were selected to achieve the targets of the study from a convenient sample, adding 4-7 robbers from a police station chosen of selected eight districts. The data were collected by using a semi-structured interview schedule administered to the victims of robbery. The findings revealed that the main targets of 82.6% of robbers were to snatch gold necklaces, ornaments, and purses, mainly from the women who travelled lonely along the roads both in cities and suburbs. The rest of the robbers targeted gems, three-wheelers and mobile phones etc. Of the robbers, 67% were unknown to the victims, while 33% of robbers were known to the victims. As a result of the robbery, 56.5% have suffered from mental pain, 47.8% had physical injuries, and 10.9% of victims have undergone severe economic hardships owing to the loss of their valuables. The traumatic experience of the robbery victims has paved the way to change their regular behaviour patterns so as to prevent thems from revictimization. The study proposes that non-violent resistance of the victims and proper and speedy involvement of the police in target hardening of the robbers would minimize robberies in the country.

Abstract
The myths of rice gods are popular folk myth in Southeast Asia that passed down to today since ancient times. This research contains a discussion of the myths of rice goddesses from three Southeast Asian countries – Thailand, Indonesia and Philippines to discover why and how Hinduism and Buddhism influenced mythical texts of rice gods in Southeast Asia by influencing local social environment. This research is a comparative research, researched with interdisciplinary theory, acculturation theory etc. The result of this research is that the myths of Sri gods circulating in Southeast Asia are indigenous folk tales. Its contents continued to be enriched after Hinduism and Buddhism entered Southeast Asia. This not only strengthens the cultural diversity of Southeast Asia, but also encourages the development of agricultural communities by integrating it as local agricultural wisdom. In the era of globalization, traditional agriculture is facing the impacts of industrialization and modernity, so that the natural environment is polluted. Southeast Asian agricultural wisdom with Hindu-Buddhist philosophies should be traced and promoted to inherit traditional rice cultivation methods. This can not only pass on and protect traditional agricultural culture, but can also promote harmony between nature and humanity, sustainable use of natural resources.

Abstract
It is usually said that when one retires, this is the time when one would live a more comfortable and happy life. But for many retirees, this is not always the case. Thus, preparation for retirement is very important. This study aimed to determine (1) the level of readiness of teachers for retirement; (2) identify considerable socio-economic barriers to a good retirement and (3) determine as well as propose certain programs, projects, and activities that would promote a good retirement for teachers. This study focused on teacher-retirees in private higher educational institutions. A questionnaire was floated to ascertain the level of readiness of respondents –retirees for retirement as well as the socio-economic barriers to a good or happy retirement. This research employed a quantitative and qualitative-descriptive method and used a combination of frequency counts, percentage as well as Mean and Standard Deviations in the analysis and interpretation of data. The respondents were 44 teacher-retirees from four private higher educational institutions in Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines. Results of the study showed that teacher-retirees are well prepared to a high extent for retirement, personally and by their employers. The study showed that the majority of the teacher-retirees are prepared personally to a high extent. However, despite such a level of preparation, it was found out that there are still considered socio-economic concerns that bar them from enjoying a good retirement. The main reasons for them not experiencing a good retirement were that their retirement pay was used to pay their debts, their retirement pensions are not sufficient for their and their family’s needs, no savings after reinterment, and they do not have health insurance policies. The results of the study also showed that socio-economic preparation determines how retirees enjoy life in retirement. It was then a recommendation that private educational institutions should, as part of their management plan, establish socio-economic programs, projects, or activities for the welfare of their teacher-retirees.

Abstract
Communication behavior of Bugis ethnic traders to prospective buyers in Manonda market Palu has its own characteristics. It has a variety of speech acts based on cultural values and habits that are still inherent to Bugis ethnic traders so that this communication behavior creates a special meaning that affects the prospective buyers. The aims of this research are (1) to find out and describe the language and communication behavior of ethnic Bugis traders to the prospective buyers, (2) to reveal the meaning of the message caused by the variation of speech acts in communication behavior to prospective buyers. The researcher used a descriptive-qualitative method by choosing 5 (five) Bugis ethnic traders as informants who trade in Manonda market through predetermined criteria. This research used purposive sampling. Instruments of data collection were participatory-observation, interviews, listening, and taking note. The results of this research revealed that; (1) Language and communication behavior of Bugis ethnic traders to prospective buyers used verbal and nonverbal communication simultaneously. The traders dominantly used perlocutionary speech acts with expressive and commissive types of speech through accommodative and persuasive communication models. To end communication, the traders used phatic speech acts. They applied a conative attitude structure. (2) The meaning of the message expressed by the traders was more affective. The traders often applied low context culture to the prospective buyers rather than high context culture.

Abstract
In the face of global technological advancement, Tetfund has placed the teaching and learning of English at the most strategic position of empowering the teacher with required enhancement in form of funds and grants as special intervention to actualize the teaching objectives of the English with the current wave of learner-centered, participatory and practical approaches to pedagogy. In a world where teachers of English are fast becoming faulty models for the actual classroom experience, ineffective teaching methods are applied. More so, the special interventions of language laboratories which would have formed the basis for actual practical teaching and learning of language studies are either underutilized or not maintained. This research attempts to identify the role of Tetfund intervention with the provision of language laboratories and its effectiveness on the teaching and learning methods. Federal Colleges of Education from six geo-political zones were randomly selected for this research. It further recommends an improvement in funding, supervision and monitoring of the use of these practical models provided.

Abstract
Abstinence is an example of a people’s culture that is still practiced today. The goal of this study is to discover the many types of abstinence found on Buru Island, particularly in Waimiting Village, as well as to investigate the social function of abstinence and to quantify the benefits of abstinence on the lives of the inhabitants of Waimiting Village, Buru Regency. Researchers utilize this strategy to directly participate in the implementation of culture in order to collect data and learn about or see existing traditions, such as abstinence culture. Observation, interview, and documentation were the three components of the data collection technique. The researcher analyzes the information gathered after it has been acquired. The term “analysis” refers to the process of decoding data so that meaning and conclusions may be formed from it. The findings of the study reveal that abstinence has an implicit and explicit meaning among the Buru community, particularly in Waimiting Village. The cause and effect of abstention are two elements of the statement. The Buru community’s manifestation of prohibition encompasses religious, educational, traditional, and health aspects in addition to meaning and structure.

Abstract
This study examined the determinants of environmental pollution in Sub-Sahara Africa. Specifically the study analyze the effect of some economic variables (Energy Consumption, Gross Domestic Product, Population Size, Trade Openness, Domestic Investment, Foreign Direct Investment) on the level of environmental pollution measured in terms of carbon- dioxide emission, Nitrous-oxide emission and methane emission. This study focused on 35 Sub-Saharan African countries, covering a period of 18 years spanning from 2000 to 2017. Data were sourced from World banks’ development indicator database. This study made use of panel corrected standard error (PCSE) estimator. Result showed that energy consumption exerts significant positive effect on carbon-dioxide emission (22.40624, p < 0.05) and Nitrous oxide emission (12.60901, p< 0.05); gross domestic product exerts significant positive effect on Methane emission (0.03616, p < 0.05); trade openness exerts significant positive effect on Nitrous-oxide emission (16.58554, p < 0.05), and Methane emission (17.3302, p < 0.05), but its effect on carbon-dioxide emission is negative and significant (-10.9857, p < 0.05); also population size exerts significant positive effect on carbon-dioxide emission (173.7638, p < 0.05); Nitrous-oxide emission (265.0668, p < 0.05), and methane emission (417.5629, p < 0.05). This study thus concluded that environmental pollution in Sub-Sahara Africa is significantly determined by energy consumption, population size, trade openness and gross domestic product among other variables examined in the study. Hence Sub-Sahara African countries should objectively embrace technological diffusion by encouraging mobilization of finance, investment and innovation in low-carbon production processes. Also Environmental regulatory frameworks in SSA should advocate for bold pollution-beating commitments from the industrial sector to regulate pollution associated with production processes

Abstract
In this study, the roles of educators in the technology-driven classroom were examined and interpreted based on the framework of International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) standards for educators. Further, these roles of educators include being a facilitator, learner, collaborator, leader, citizen, analyst, and designer. These roles of educators in the technology-driven classroom must be certain this time of the COVID-19 crisis given that the educational system is now diverted into a more technologically advanced setting. Moreover, this study also examined differences among the respondents’ roles based on their sex, age, the status of employment, and length of service. To be able to gather necessary data, a descriptive method using a quantitative approach was employed in this study. The validated questionnaire was the research instrument used to collect data from twenty (20) selected faculty members of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines Quezon City. This study found out that the respondents resolutely incorporate all of the ISTE standards for educators as their roles in technology-driven classrooms. Further, teachers as learners, citizens, and facilitators are the top perceived roles of the respondents among others. The results also determined that the roles of teachers using ISTE standards had no significant difference among the respondents’ sex, age, the status of employment, and length of service. A set of recommendations for future research and practice were provided based on the findings of this study

Abstract
The rapid development of web 2.0, as well as the growing use of social media networks by individuals and businesses, has resulted in a remarkable shift from e-commerce to social commerce. It is very much noticeable that Generation Z is the most active Generation, in the usage of social media platforms in a high-intensity manner. Accordingly, the present study investigates the impact of social commerce on consumers’ purchase intention specially referring to Generation Z consumers in Sri Lanka. The motivation behind this study is due to the paucity of studies in such discipline in the Sri Lankan context. The present study is associated with four independent variables as social commerce constructs, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived risk. The nature of the present study is quantitative. The researchers follows the purposive sampling technique and survey strategy, under that questionnaire is used to collect data from the 360 respondents who are using social media to purchase products among the Generation of Z in Sri Lanka. Data was analyzed using univariate and multivariate techniques. Based on the results of the multiple regression analysis, social commerce constructs, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use have significant and positive impacts while perceived risk has a significant and negative impact on purchase intention among Generation Z consumers in Sri Lanka. Thus, it was determined that social commerce has an impact on Generation Z consumers’ purchase intention in Sri Lanka. As a result, marketers can carefully plan and execute their marketing programs and policies by focusing on Generation Z consumers to grab the maximum benefits from social commerce.

Abstract
There is no gainsaying that the Niger Delta region has been a theatre of conflicts since the discovery of petroleum resources in commercial quantities in the area. It has been an unbroken chain of layers of conflicts. What took place in the region at the discovery of oil was akin to the scramble for Africa by European powers. Like in the scramble for Africa, the emphasis was on the control of resources. The control of resources has always been at the center of imperialism and its attendant conflicts. Ontologically, resources are scarce and will always be scarce. It is an existential fact that the scarcity of resources always induces conflicts. However, needs are infinite. Oil is a universally daily needed natural resource. As important as it is, it is not evenly globally distributed. The abundance of oil deposits in the Niger Delta ipso facto makes it a center of multinational economic interest. Naturally, the hawks, economic predators of all shades and hues did swoop in on the region. In the multinational quest for the control of the petroleum resources in the Niger Delta region, different theories of ownership were advanced. The refusal to be bystanders in the control of the oil resources domiciled in their region and the pains caused by the environmental degradation occasioned by oil exploration and exploitation led to series of confrontations that have culminated in a protracted unrest in the Niger Delta region. The introduction of the amnesty program to the region proved to be a game changer. This work critiques the impacts of the presidential amnesty program in the region.

Abstract
Purpose: This paper examined making virtual library visible in the information age and the features of the information age. It also highlighted the change in the role of library and library service providers as regards the visible presence of clientele in the library building. The introduction of information technology into information retrieval systems and radical referencing in the information age has broken down boundaries between information sources and users globally. This has necessitated the need for a visible virtual library to meet the information needs of the present-day library patrons located in different geographical locations around the globe. Crucial issues were considered in making virtual library visible in this paper.
Design/Methodology & Approach: The methodology adopted was a contextual analysis that involved the review of materials ranging from publications, textbooks, and the relevant internet sources.
Implication: Turning blind eyes to the imperative of making virtual libraries visible by the Library and Library Information System (LIS) professionals would render their functions ineffective and irrelevant in the present-day digital age.
Originality/Value: This paper concludes that making a virtual library visible in the information age is a necessity that would enable the library to meet the information needs of patrons in real-time using the present-day cutting-edge technology.

Abstract
The mechanism of corporate governance and the type of information about corporate decisions are on one side and on the other side, the performances of the firm and the information that the corporation should make public, constitute major issues of discussion in the corporate governance debate. Specifically, this paper examined the importance of corporate governance mechanisms in the issue of making corporate financial report more transparent to stakeholders, and the extent to which the oversight bodies set to oversee the firms. This paper employed quantitative research method using multiple regression tests with panel data analysis spanning 2008 to 2019. Despite that the role of a firm chairman & CEO in one person is discouraged by the SEC and CBN codes, this finding differs, especially in the short run as the combining role of leadership structure (LDS) has a significant relationship with firm performance. Using ROA as a measure of performance, the effect of board size is significant at the short run. This is an indication that initial increase in the number of persons on the board of Nigerian firms raises returns on asset (ROA), however, beyond a certain point; increases in board size will adversely affect ROA. This paper concludes that, the performance of listed firms in Nigeria between 2008 and 2019 was determined by the mechanisms of corporate governance. The paper recommends that separating the roles of CEO and the Chairman of the board is value enhancing, that firm interest should be above self-interest as board responsibilities increases

Abstract
This study examined nexus between stock market performance and manufacturing growth in Nigeria using data spanning between 1985 and 2020. Vector Autoregression (VAR) model was employed to examine the complex interaction between the variables. The result of stationarity test through Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) and Phillip Peron (PP) affirmed the use of VAR. the study concluded that stock market performance has significant influence on manufacturing growth.

Abstract
Schizophrenia is one of the most serious – and often one of the most disabling- types of mental illness. It is believed that about 1 % of the world’s adult population suffers from it. As a result of its severity, mental health institutions are a frequent stop for many schizophrenic patients. It is chronic, complex and challenging psychiatric disorder that needs close monitoring. There are diverse cultural beliefs, etiologies, interventions are based on caregiver perceptions based on cultural beliefs. Most relapses are triggered by caregiver negligence due to lack of knowledge. Because of the severe disabling effect on the ill person, schizophrenia renders the victim totally dependent on the caregiver. And this study looks at the perceptions and attitudes of caregivers, who are the main players of the upkeep of these patients. The study looks at emotional burden of the caregiver, and the possible ways of empowering them. The researcher used à qualitative research methodology to explore the emotional caregivers’ perceptions and appraisals of schizophrenia. It was noted that caregivers of schizophrenia are emotionally wounded, and often poorly informed about the illness. The research recommends the bi-focal intervention approach, which recommends the inclusion of the caregiver in the treatment plan. The study also recommends government assistance to the caregivers and or family of schizophrenic persons

Abstract
This study examined the effect of corporate human capital on financial performance of quoted Nigerian Agricultural firms. The agricultural sector in Nigeria are faced with a lot of challenges (use of crude equipment’s in farming, improper information, agri-marketing, etc.) which hinder productivity. Specifically, the effect of human capital efficiency, capital employed efficiency and structural capital efficiency on return on assets was ascertained. Secondary data for a period 2007 to 2020 were sourced from the annual reports of all the firms quoted on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). The Panel Ordinary Least Square (POLS) and the Granger Causality test were the technique employed in estimating the models. The result of the analysis revealed that human capital efficiency and structural capital efficiency have significant effect on return on assets; Agricultural firms should improve their human capacity development (workforce be up to date on ever changing technology) to enhance productivity. This is based on the significant effect of human capital efficiency on return on assets. More investment on human and their growth in the agricultural sector is recommended as it is a significant key for the success

Abstract
In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of small to large scale disasters in different parts of the world, affecting more people than ever, claiming thousands of lives, displacing millions of people, and destroying billions of dollar-worth of property globally. Studies have noted that disasters can happen anywhere, but about eighty-five per cent of those exposed to disasters reside in developing countries. These observations and reports have made it expedient for communities and nations to start building capacities and developing strategies and programs to respond to disasters or emergencies with their own resources, both human and material, without relying solely on aid international community. Despite increasing rates of disasters globally, most developing countries lag behind in preparedness to handle emergencies like disasters effectively, efficiently and appropriately. This is attributed to a number of factors, one of which is low disaster literacy level among the public. Hence, the need for health education to raise level of awareness and knowledge of disasters and improve attitudes and skills of individuals, communities, authorities and organizations in disaster prevention and reduction. A popular saying in disaster management is that “we cannot stop natural disasters but we can arm ourselves with knowledge to save lives and property”. This statement emphasizes great role health education in disaster preparedness. The study intended to review from studies preparedness for disasters in developing countries: implications of health education. The study utilized conventional subject-search method, and a supplementary search method of citation/unstructured searching technique to review twenty-nine papers. The results showed that the resilience and capacity for disaster preparedness of any countries depends largely on the level and qualities of disaster awareness and education of the people, and the study also confirmed and added more information to already done research work the vital roles health education plays in all phases of preparedness for disasters. The study concluded that effectiveness and efficiency of disaster preparedness activities of nations are predicated on the level of disaster literacy and health education base of the people

Abstract
The study was conducted to determine the mediating effect of cognitive performance on the relationship between the beliefs about language learning and English language attitude among 400 college students at three universities in Davao del Norte, and two universities in Davao del Sur, all private, were selected where the research used a quantitative and descriptive correlation with three sets of research questionnaires answered by the respondents. The research revealed a mediating effect of cognitive performance on the relationship between the beliefs about language learning and English language attitude. Additionally, a relationship was revealed between the beliefs about language learning and cognitive performance and English language attitude. It implies that the students’ cognitive performance mediates their English language learning among college students. Furthermore, the study hopes to contribute to the knowledge that students’ cognitive performance mediates the overall learning of the English language. This research hopes to make new knowledge and identify the factors in attitudes towards learning the English language and could help educators in the teaching-learning process of the language more effectively in developing new interventions.

Abstract
Emerging regional competition, in the Horn of Africa, between Kenya and Somalia directly affects diplomatic reciprocity of these two neighboring states. The red flag is raised by constant antagonism and regional partisan upsurges that tend to escalate into active armed confrontations. This study sought to establish key and emerging areas of regional competition between Kenya and Somalia and its influence on Kenya-Somalia territorial threats. The study adopted liberal and rational choice theories to underpin the theoretical discourse. This study utilized descriptive survey design. Foreign policy expert were purposively sampled for interviews. Thus interviews were the primary method of data collection. Previous published literature formed the sources of secondary data used to corroborate the findings. The study was conducted in Nairobi City County since it houses the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Assembly of Kenya and Somalia embassy where approximated 55 participants and key informants in foreign policy formulation and analysis. The study’s data collected was analyzed qualitatively. The findings indicated that emerging regional competition over power, resources, territories and war on terror has adverse effect on the territorial dispute between Somalia and Kenya. The discovery of blue-economy resource and emergency of new regional actors are responsible for the enhanced regional completion between the two countries. Moreover, the threats presented by this enhanced regional competition complicate the implementation of Kenya’s five-decade foreign policy of good neighborliness that has contributed largely to the peaceful co-existence between Kenya and its neighbors.

Abstract
The study sought to determine the Implications of Quality Assurance Standards of the Zimbabwe Council of Higher Education (ZIMCHE) on Zimbabwean State Universities. For decades Zimbabwe had prided itself of having one of the highest literacy rates and churning out high quality human capital regionally and internationally. Lately sentiments have been expressed suggesting that the quality of education in Zimbabwean State Universities has been declining due to the economic meltdown of the past decade which incapacitated the supervisory body (ZIMCHE). In executing this study nine (9) State university Vice Chancellors, nine (9) senior officials from the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, twenty-one (21) Faculty Deans, fifteen (15) ZIMCHE board members and six (6) Student Representative Bodies [Zimbabwe National Students Union] (ZINASU) and the Student Solidarity Trust] were sampled. The major findings from this research were that ZIMCHE was very relevant and its standards are generally effective despite the fact that the body has had to grapple with funding and human capital constraints among others. The study therefore notes that ZIMCHE and its quality assurance standards play a pivotal role in the enhancement of quality in university education. The researchers recommended the restructuring of the ZIMCHE board to accommodate other members from industrial and professional bodies in a bid to enhance independence, the undertaking of income generating projects by universities to supplement their budgetary requirements, increased budget allocations to the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education and the development of better problem solving methods to ensure that students were not prejudiced by ZIMCHE`s action on universities. While the current study and others studies have focused on the quality of teaching and learning, it is strongly recommended that future research explores the quality of research.

Abstract
In Madhya Pradesh, the conventional method of supply and demand calculation for a comprehensive primary health care facility in rural areas is population census-based. The study is breaking the conventional method and using population and distance to the nearest public health facility for demand calculation. Location-allocation model of Arc GIS 10 was used for analyses. Currently, about 10, 209 Sub Health Centres are located in rural Madhya Pradesh in 313 developmental blocks. This study highlights the use of Geographic Information System technology for planning comprehensive health centres to optimize access to the rural population. Although the location-allocation methodology has been available for decades, it has been used sparsely by public health professionals. This paper makes an important contribution to the method for planning in resource-limited settings
