Abstract: Nairobi City County's Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are facing distinct and unforeseen challenges, which encompass a lack of financial resources and an inability to adapt innovatively to changing needs. Therefore, this study sought to effect of project team competence on the performance of projects of non-governmental organizations in Nairobi City County, Kenya. The research employed a descriptive research design. The study population was identified with the help of non-profit organizations in Nairobi City County, resulting in a total of 210 participants, comprising 70 project managers and 140 project employees. Participants were selected using simple random sampling, while stratified random sampling was utilized to choose the NGOs. Out of the total, 138 individuals completed the survey. Primary data was gathered through a semi-structured questionnaire. Furthermore, a pilot study was carried out with four non-governmental organizations in Nairobi County. The validity of the questionnaire was evaluated based on criteria, construct, and content validity. Descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, were utilized to analyze the quantitative data. The study also employed inferential statistics such as multiple regression analysis and correlation analysis. The results indicated that most projects were inefficient regarding quality, cost, and timely delivery, with completed projects only partially meeting client expectations. Furthermore, the findings revealed that many of these completed projects suffered from inadequate planning. This research highlights the positive impact of effective development on project performance and team efficiency. Additionally, it suggests that changes in project organizational structure may stem from various factors, including the recruitment of inexperienced key personnel. The study concluded that project managers could effectively allocate and manage resources when they are distributed appropriately.

Keywords: Project Team Competence, project performance.

Abstract: This study examines how individuals’ cognition about money influence their consequent money attitudes. The money attitude and its dimensions being high cognitive component of money (money success), high behavioral component of money (money budget) and higher affective component of money (money gold). Thus, in this study, all these dimensions are analysed for their effect on business ethics which has got 4 (four) dimensions, to be precise: amoral values; rule bound behavior; personal attributes; and self-interests. The study population are all postgraduate students in the faculty of Business Sciences at Midlands State University and convenience sampling method was applied in order to arrive at a sample size of 500 respondents. Data was collected using the electronically distributed questionnaire through use of google forms, and was cleaned, coded and entered into Stata data analysis software. In order to examine the effect of money-attitude dimensions on business ethics, multiple regression analysis was performed and hypothesis testing was also done.  Regarding the high cognitive component about money and business ethics, the study established positive relationships between having a high cognitive component about money (money as a symbol of success), and all business ethics dimensions (high amoral values; having higher personal ethical attributes; having a higher self-interest business ethics attribute; and having a higher self-interest business ethics attribute). It therefore means that postgraduate students who consider money as a symbol of success are likely to engage in all the aforementioned business ethics dimensions. The results also revealed that Postgraduate students who consider money as a resource that should be budgeted for (money budget) are likely to have amoral values (positive relationship) and are likely to adhere to rule bound behaviour (positive relationship). However, still on that, money budget has got no effect on one’s personal attributes towards business ethics, as well as no effect one’s self-interests attitude towards business ethics. Lastly, the study found out that when students consider money as evil it does not affect; their amoral business ethics (no relationship); their rule bound behavior (no relationship); their personal attributes attitude towards business ethics (no relationship), and it also reduces self-interests behavior in business among postgraduate students (negative relationship).

Keywords: Money attitude, money success, money budget, money gold, business ethics.

Abstract: Through a large state of the art on decision-making in trading, we find that the assumption of traders' rationality is difficult to sustain for individual investors. Even if this is not the mainstream of finance, a growing number of studies demonstrate the need to take emotions into account to understand the behavior of stock market investors. With this in mind, we emphasize the importance of a transdisciplinary approach to understanding stock markets, covering a broad spectrum of variables that influence decision-making process. Thus, the simultaneous use of measurement tools from psychology, sociology and neurophysiology would ensure access to high levels of scientific completeness. At the end of this article, we propose several qualitative tools designed to provide a closer look at the psychological contours of individuals and the emotional fields potentially involved in decision-making.

Abstract: Digital inclusion ensured that all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background, physical abilities, or geographical location, had equal access to educational resources and opportunities. However, until now, there were no accurate, consistent Learning Management Systems (LMS) to ensure smooth digital learning. A significant number of students in tertiary institutions in Kiambu County found it difficult to access information and perform well due to challenges faced while using online tools. These challenges stemmed from poor and weak technological infrastructure, lack of user satisfaction, inadequate user training and support, and improper data security. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the effect of information technology infrastructure on the performance learning management systems of selected tertiary institutions in Kiambu County, Kenya. The target population comprised ICT specialists employed by the 26 tertiary institutions, with a sample size of 75 ICT specialists selected through simple random sampling from the selected institutions. Primary data was gathered through questionnaires. Descriptive and inferential statistics was employed to analyse data where descriptive statistics was presented using mean, median, standard deviation, and percentages and inferential statistics was presented using regression to establish the relationship between the study variables. The study revealed that information technology infrastructure is the most significant predictor of learning management performance, with a strong positive relationship indicated by a coefficient of 1.344 and a p-value of 0.000. In conclusion, institutions must prioritize investments in technology infrastructure and data security to enhance LMS performance and foster user trust. The study recommends that institutions focus on modernizing IT infrastructure, implementing robust data security measures, and designing user-friendly LMS platforms.

Abstract: This research critically examines the educational and social marginalization of the transgender community in Pakistan. Despite legal protections under domestic law and international treaties, transgender individuals continue to face substantial barriers to educational and economic progress. The study explores the colonial legacy that contributed to the stigmatization of the transgender community, analysing its post-colonial consequences and the persistence of systemic discrimination in contemporary Pakistan. Using Bronfenbrenner’s socio-ecological model as a theoretical framework, this research evaluates the interconnected social, educational, and economic factors that reinforce their exclusion. By identifying gaps within this framework, the study aims to inform the development of inclusive policies that uphold transgender rights and promote equitable access to education in alignment with the principle of "education for all."

Keywords: Transgender rights, education, colonialism, post-colonialism, inclusivity, Bronfenbrenner’s model.

Abstract: This study explores the application of the Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) model in teaching English within basic education frameworks in China and Myanmar. The aim is to compare how the TPACK model is integrated into English language instruction in these two countries, focusing on the interplay between technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge. Through a comparative qualitative case study, the research examines the challenges and successes of TPACK implementation in both contexts, considering factors such as national educational policies, technological infrastructure, teacher training programs, and classroom practices. In China, significant progress has been made in leveraging technology in education, supported by a robust infrastructure and continuous teacher professional development programs. In contrast, Myanmar faces constraints such as limited access to technological tools, inadequate teacher training, and socio-economic challenges that hinder the effective application of the TPACK model. Despite these disparities, both countries show promising results in terms of student engagement and improved learning outcomes when TPACK is appropriately applied. The study highlights the importance of policy reforms, investment in digital resources, and the necessity for ongoing teacher training to successfully integrate TPACK into English teaching practices. Ultimately, the research provides recommendations for both countries to foster the effective use of the TPACK model, contributing to the enhancement of English language teaching in basic education settings.

Keywords: TPACK, English language teaching, comparative case study, educational technology, teacher training, digital pedagogy, China, Myanmar.

Abstract: This paper discusses the theoretical backdrop and approaches of EAP and translation-mediated learning, and how they are synergistic in the field of teaching language. Applied English linguistics deals with the practical utility of linguistic theory for the enhancement of language teaching, language learning and language usage, and in translation-based learning, translation exercises are used to promote language teaching, vocabulary, and grammar learning, cultural awareness, and language understanding. Integrating these methods, language teachers can set up a holistic learning environment, taking responsibility for the technical and cultural sides of the language, so that it results in fluent language users who are effective in multilingual situations. This paper focuses on the relevance of applied English linguistics and translation-based learning, and examines its major methods, insights gained, and the combined effect in contemporary language teaching. By combining these approaches, language educators can develop innovative methods that enhance language teaching, improve language learners' outcomes, and foster effective communication in a globalized society.

Abstract: The general objective of this study was to establish the influence of stakeholder participation as a predictor of the effectiveness of monitoring and evaluation systems among road safety projects in Kenya. Specifically the study sought to determine the influence of stakeholder decision-making and stakeholder consultation on the performance of monitoring and evaluation systems among road safety projects in Kenya. The study adopted a mixed method research design. The population for the study comprised 800 staff at the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) and those at the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA). A stratified sampling technique was applied to determine participants from each population category. Nassiuma sampling formula was used to establish a sample side of 190 respondent. Data was collected by use of semi-structured questionnaires as the data collection tools. Descriptive and inferential analysis was conducted with the aid of SPSS software. All the study variables stakeholder decision making; stakeholder consultation, were found to have effect on effectiveness of monitoring and evaluation systems of project as depicted by the various responses from the respondents that were presented in the descriptive statistics analysis with the mean and standard deviations. The regression coefficient was found to be significant in all variables. This coefficient meant that a unit increase in stakeholder decision making, stakeholder consultation, would cause the rate of effectiveness of monitoring and evaluation systems of project to increase. Based on the finding the study concluded that stakeholder decision making and stakeholder consultations were key factors that determine effectiveness of monitoring and evaluation systems of project. The study recommended various stakeholders in the construction industry to focus on implementation stakeholder decision making stakeholder consultation, for effectiveness of monitoring and evaluation systems of project.

Abstract: In Myanmar, our new basic education system is shifting towards child-entered approach and new English curriculum focus on four skills. To implement new education system well, the qualified teachers who were interested and satisfied with their English learning process in their respective education colleges are vitally needed. To be successful in teaching learning process, the urgent need is to know about the learning strategies and learning styles of students. This study was focusing on it. In this study, a total of 320 participants from Sagaing Education College and Mandalay Education College were included. A quantitative research method, one of the descriptive methods, was used. As instruments, the Perceptual Learning Style Preference Questionnaire (PLSPQ) developed by Reid (1987) was used to identify learning style preferences of the participants and the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) developed by Oxford (1990) was used to identify the English language learning strategy preferences of the participants. Descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test and Pearson Correlation was used to examine the learning style preferences, the English language learning strategies and the relationship between English language learning strategies and learning styles of participants according to research objectives. The results of this study clearly showed that participants used kinaesthetic or tactile learning style at most and individual learning style at least in their learning process. For English language learning strategies, according to the results, participants learned English with the most use of metacognitive strategies and with the least use of memory strategies. It was found that there was a significant positive correlation between visual learning style and metacognitive learning strategies. The analysis showed a significant positive correlation between kinaesthetic or tactile learning styles and the use of metacognitive learning strategies. Therefore, it was concluded that there was statistically significant correlation coefficient between visual learning styles and metacognitive learning strategies (r (318) = .116, p = .039) and kinaesthetic or tactile learning styles and metacognitive learning strategies (r (318) = .125, p = .025).

Abstract: Basket making is virtually a universal craft, and its specific forms have been shaped by the particular uses which are served in agriculture, preparation, and serving of food, fishing, trapping, furniture, housing, etc. For making basket, Bamboo is mainly used, which is the versatile group of plants capable of providing ecological, economic and livelihood security to the people. The versatile uses of bamboo have made it the backbone of rural economy. Therefore, it is known as ‘Poor man timber’. It is probably the most extensively used plant resources and associated with all spheres of life (e.g. food, medicine, crafts, agricultural implements, house building, materials cordage, etc.). So every tribal group has used these resources in their livelihood. Rabha one of the racial communities of Assam also engaged in making baskets which is related to their culture and livelihood. For making baskets they mainly used natural resources especially bamboo. But, due to various reasons, the traditional basket-making process has come under change. Therefore, this paper tries to highlight what changes occurred in the process of making baskets among Rabhas.

Abstract: This study, ‘Modification of Attitude of Youth Involved in Substance Abuse: A Tool for Minimizing Insurgency in Borno State.’ was conducted using quasi experimental pre-test post-test group design. The broad objective of the study is to find out if modifying the attitude of youths towards substance abuse will minimize insurgency. One specific objective is to determine the efficacy of modification of attitude technique on subjects in experimental groups before and after treatment. One research question is: what is the efficacy of modification of attitude technique on subjects in experimental groups before and after treatment. The populations of the study were youths between ages 18-24 years who were involved in substance abuse in Borno state. The sample subjects were purposively selected; thus 12 youths from each of the three locations under study were drawn by the use of substance abuse checklist (SAC). The locations were purposively selected and assigned to experimental groups. A ten-item questionnaire, that is, substance abuse questionnaire (SAQ) adopted from a guideline provided by the Centre for Substance Abuse Treatment on a two-point Likert scale was used for both pre- test and posttest exercises. The research questions were tested with appropriate inferential statistics. The result revealed that pre-test scores of subjects in experimental group one exposed to treatment by Modification of Attitude Technique is 78.8456 and the post test score is 54.7083, the mean difference between the pre-test and post test scores of subjects in experimental group one is 24.1373. A reduction in mean score implies that there is improvement in the behavior; attitudes toward substance use changed from positive to negative.  This shows that Modification of Attitude technique was effective in managing substance abuse among youths in Borno state. The findings revealed that Modification of Attitude technique was effective in managing substance abuse thereby minimizing the desire to be involved in insurgency. It was recommended that the use of Modification of Attitude should be taught to school managers, counselors and social workers among others and be encouraged in managing substance abuse among youths in Borno state.

Abstract: A legendary figure in Indian history, Dr. Kailash Nath Katju changed the face of politics and law forever. His remarkable legal career was marked by his sharp mind, unwavering honesty, and commitment to doing what was right. He fought relentlessly to ensure that everyone had equal access to the justice system and had a key part in historic cases. Like his extraordinary life story, his political trajectory was shaped by his leadership positions in the Indian government after independence and his active engagement in the country's liberation movement. Government, legal changes, and the public good were Dr. Katju's guiding principles during his time as governor and union minister. The principles of inclusive development, democracy, and accountability were deeply held by him. The many judicial and administrative changes that were later established were largely due to his efforts as a politician and lawyer at pivotal moments in Indian history. The impact of Dr. Katju's beliefs and ideals on the political and legal climate in India is explored in this study of his life and work. He has been working hard to provide justice for everyone and improve democratic government. Legal experts, political leaders, and concerned individuals who are working to improve their country should take heart from Dr. Katju's unwavering commitment and visionary leadership.

Abstract: This study examines the effectiveness of vocational training in aiding the reintegration of former delinquents in Kigali City, Rwanda, a critical factor in promoting social and economic stability for rehabilitated individuals. Rwandan rehabilitation centers integrate psychotherapy, values education, and vocational skills to support this transition. The research focuses on three objectives: identifying skills acquired, evaluating employment outcomes, and assessing income changes among former delinquents post-rehabilitation. Using a descriptive research design and mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 364 individuals via questionnaires and interviews, analyzed with SPSS version 22. Results reveal that 57% of participants trained in masonry, with 72% completing a six-month program. Motivations for training included personal interest (45%) and job opportunities (44%). Post-training, 69.5% were employed by others, while 20% remained unemployed due to further training (33%) or insufficient capital (16%). Income gains were notable, with 31% earning above 100,000 Rwandan francs monthly. Additionally, 77% credited vocational skills with securing housing, though only 41% saw benefits for supporting family education.

This research highlights vocational training’s role in enhancing employment and income, recommending partnerships with industries, curriculum updates, community awareness initiatives, and ongoing support for graduates in employment, housing, and healthcare.

Abstract: In this essay, I critically engaged with the paradoxical relationship between the forces of globalization and variegated religious ideologies. The 21^st century has witnessed the inexorable forces of globalization which not only precipitates profound existential convergence, but also frames an interconnected world and dissolving conventional boundaries of politics, geography, regionalism and nationalism. Thus, it is incontrovertible that the forces of globalization have created a hyper-connected world. While this has fostered intercultural and cross-cultural understanding through the orchestrated global tableau of proximity it creates, it simultaneously engenders a state of ideological discord within the religious parlance, when different competing religions come into direct confrontation, giving rise to theological contradictions and interfaith strife. Beyond raising concerns about the veracity and logical validity of the theological foundations of these religions, the implications it has on social cohesion is also raised as it mares existential harmony and peaceful coexistence. Classical logic, with its foundation on Aristotle and his principle of non-contradiction (PNC), “¬ (P ∧ ¬P)”, proofs inadequate and incapacitated in resolving these tensions, since this axiom frames oppositions rather than coexistence. On this note, it will lead to theological collapse of religious doctrines, dissolution of doctrinal integrity and catalyzing religious sectarianism. Sequel to this, I used the expository method in exploring the dynamics of globalization, bringing to light how the transnational exchange of ideas, migration, and intercultural interactions heightened by technology exacerbates religious contradictions. The critical method is also used to help identify the causes of religious conflicts, significantly exploring the limitations of Aristotelian logic – including how and why it is ill-equipped to resolve, rather than contribute to, the tensions between religious. Through the lens of dialectical method and aligning with the Hegelian tradition, I propose paraconsistent logic and develop the axiom and the logical constant ‘Global G’, represented with G, as a viable heuristic, containing all religions without a logical collapse. The Global G framework is symbolized as:

n

G =⋃R_i

i =1

Within this logical framework, G = global set that contains all individual religions, R_i = distinct religious traditions (e.g., Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc.) ⋃ = aggregation of R_i into a single interconnected global system, while n = the total number of distinct religions considered in the global system (i.e., n = ∣R_i∣, R_i​ ∈G). The expression and logical formula (Global G) is a model for the coexistence of distinct religious systems within a unified broader global system, without leading to the collapse of the system. It is an inclusive and integrative paradigm, aimed at sustaining religious truths in a co-existential harmony without collapsing into logical and theological incoherence.

Keywords:  Globalization, Dialectics, Religious Contradictions, Religious Conflict, Paraconsistent Logic, Religious Tolerance, Global G.
