Abstract: The Article aimed to investigate the potential effectiveness of the Aristotelian Doctrine of the Mean in addressing the political moral crisis caused by corruption in Tanzania. Corruption had become deeply rooted in various levels of government and society, resulting in a moral crisis that undermined public trust in the government, distorted the policy-making process, and limited sustainable development. Despite various anti-corruption initiatives in the past, the results had often fallen short, necessitating a re-evaluation of existing approaches. The article proposed exploring the Aristotelian Doctrine of the Mean, a philosophical concept that emphasizes finding a balance between extremes to achieve moral excellence, as a potential solution to the issue at hand. The analytic method was employed to conduct a conceptual analysis and logical reasoning to assess the doctrine’s potential applicability to corruption in Tanzania. By understanding the ethical and cultural factors that contribute to corruption in Tanzania, policymakers and researchers could modify approaches to address the issue’s root causes. The study aimed to offer a fresh perspective that could contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of corruption and guide policymakers, citizens, and anticorruption agencies toward more effective and sustainable solutions.

Keywords: Corruption, Doctrine of the Mean, Cultural Theory of Corruption, Tanzania, Anticorruption Strategies.

Abstract: This study investigates the impact of healthcare professional empowerment and community health empowerment on healthcare workers' commitment, with a focus on the moderating effects of technological innovation. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected from healthcare workers in Ghana through a structured questionnaire. The findings reveal that both healthcare professional empowerment and community health empowerment positively affect healthcare workers' commitment. Additionally, technological innovation significantly moderates these relationships, enhancing the positive impact of empowerment on commitment. The results align with Self-Determination Theory, which suggests that technology can improve individuals' sense of competence and autonomy, thereby strengthening their commitment to their roles. These findings are consistent with existing literature and emphasize the value of integrating technological innovations in healthcare settings. Recommendations include investing in digital tools and platforms to support empowerment initiatives and engaging communities through technology. By adopting these strategies, healthcare systems can improve job satisfaction, reduce turnover, and enhance overall health outcomes.

Keywords: Empowerment; Commitment; Technological Innovation; Self-Determination Theory.

Abstract: The integration of economic development needs with the enhancement of residents' quality of life is essential and can be achieved through infrastructure initiatives, particularly in road construction. In Bomet County, a significant portion of the population experiences insufficient access to roadways. Commonly identified issues affecting the road sector's performance in Bomet County include mismanagement of funds, project delays, and subpar service delivery to road users, despite the substantial financial resources provided by the government in its various budgets. This study employed a descriptive research methodology. The target population consisted of 203 employees, which included five county officials from the County Roads, Public Works, and Transport Department, fifty-two project managers, and fourteen members of the project management committee. A total of 52 projects were utilized to randomly select 112 respondents through stratified sampling. This group comprised project managers, project management committee members, and county officials from the Department of Roads, Public Works, and Transportation. Primary data was collected using questionnaires designed in a semi-structured format. The research yielded both qualitative and quantitative findings. The validity and reliability of the research instrument were evaluated through pilot testing. Descriptive statistics were applied to analyze the quantitative data, which was encoded and entered into SPSS (Version 24), while the qualitative data were examined thematically. Additionally, a regression analysis was performed to determine the correlation between the dependent variable and the independent variables. The results are presented through tables, charts, and graphs. Various ethical considerations were meticulously assessed throughout the experiment to ensure the reliability of the results. The correlation analysis indicated a robust and statistically significant positive relationship (r=0.650, p=0.000) between resource planning and the success of road projects. The study recommends that Bomet County Government should make sure that the roads projects in the County have the funding the funding complete them. The county administration should use rigorous resource management procedures to guarantee the effective execution of road development projects.

Abstract: With a focus on the effectiveness of narrative therapy in treating trauma in individuals with insecure attachment styles, this study attempts to investigate the relationship between attachment styles and trauma. Trauma has a profound impact on a person's resilience and psychological growth especially if it results from early attachment injuries. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and maladaptive behaviors are often the result of this impact. The effect that uneven caregiving during childhood can have on insecure attachment styles and an individual's ability to cope with stress and trauma is examined in this study. It also looks at how using Narrative Therapy to rewrite one's trauma narratives can help one become more resilient and reduce symptoms of PTSD while promoting healing and a stable attachment. As a comprehensive approach to treating trauma survivors, the findings emphasize the importance of therapeutic approaches that address attachment dynamics in addition to trauma.

Abstract: The study of language has moved from the traditional method to a more scientific method. This is why linguistics is defined in contemporary time as the scientific study of language. Unlike the previous prescriptive study of language, the scientific approach entails the study of the properties and components of a language in the language laboratory where electronic gadgets show the vocal track, the places and manners of articulation in speech production as well as the wave of air production. Given the pivotal role of laboratory to the study of languages in modern time, this study, therefore, sets to investigate its availability and use in the College of Education and Universities in Niger State where languages are taught. Descriptive survey methodology is adopted for this study. This methodology is adopted because it accommodates the use of questionnaire and interview especially in the course of interrogation of students learning language courses in the selected higher institutions in Niger State, Nigeria. The population of the study comprises the students studying English in both the Federal and State-owned institutions of higher learning in Niger State. In the course of this study, it is discovered that many language laboratories are not functional as a result of irregular power supply. Often times, the period when light is available is not the period speech sound classes are scheduled. Related to this is that petroleum, which should be an alternative means of power supply to the language laboratory gadgets, is also costly. This is a perennial problem in Nigeria. Many people who study language(s) in the Nigerian educational system do not have the opportunity to be taught speech sounds in the language laboratories. The effect is that those who are not familiar with the operations of language laboratory equipment are employed to teach speech sounds. Therefore, students are only taught theoretical phonology without having practical knowledge of speech sound production.

Keywords: traditional method, scientific study, students learning language, language laboratory.

Abstract: This article aims to show that Villagelization program is the mainstay of Nyerere’s “Ujamaaism.” Nyerere’s “Ujamaaism” based on communal life of traditional Africans, who lived in extended family, and embraced brotherhood and caring for each other. “Ujamaaism” has interwoven together, equality, freedom and human dignity. Nyerere attracted by this kind of foundation and linked it with the desire to bring development to the people. For him, villagelization program became the best way to push forward the development of the newly independent country of Tanzania. This was the vivid example for Nyerere to manifest “Ujamaaism” policy to the world. It is under villagelization program that the praxis of “Ujamaaism” elements was actualized. Despite different challenges of villagelization program, generally speaking, “Ujamaaism” left an important mark to Tanzania even today especially culturally and socially.

Keywords: Villagelization program, Nyerere’s “Ujamaaism.”, important mark, culturally and socially.

Abstract: Mastering precise English pronunciation proves challenging for EFL learners. This research focuses on English pronunciation development among Libyan students, examining factors that enhance this skill. Despite its significance, pronunciation receives insufficient attention in Libyan instructional practices, leading to deficiencies among secondary school students. Through an in-depth analysis of teaching methodologies, classroom practices, and prevailing attitudes toward pronunciation in the Libyan educational system, this research aims to identify the factors contributing to the existing gap in pronunciation instruction. Recognizing these challenges is essential for effective pronunciation learning. The study's objective is to investigate methods to improve the pronunciation skills of Libyan learners in secondary schools. The results of the current study revealed that the existing Phonetic Ability, Listening Skills, Reading Skills, Native English Speakers, Teaching Methods, and First Language are considered challenges to Libyan learners in acquiring accurate English pronunciation skills. By identifying and addressing common pronunciation problems, this research contributes to the second language acquisition literature, offering practical recommendations for English language instructors in Libya.

Abstract: The strong performance of exports is frequently regarded as a vital catalyst for economic growth. Effective domestic export compliance typically depends on the existence of competitive industries capable of producing goods and services that align with international standards and consumer demands. In order to cultivate a competitive sector, Kenya has implemented several duty relief programs aimed at supporting the sustainability of automobile companies. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of manufacturing under bond on customs duty compliance among automobile exporters on selected counties in Kenya. This research utilized an explanatory research design. The study population consisted of 48 assembling and manufacturing industries located in Nairobi City County, Kiambu County, Machakos County, and Nakuru County in Kenya. The target respondent group comprised 288 individuals, which corresponded to the number of questionnaires distributed. Out of these, 220 questionnaires were accurately completed and returned, yielding a response rate of 76%. A structured questionnaire was employed to gather primary data from finance managers and senior managers within the finance and accounts departments. Descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation, were utilized, while inferential statistics encompassed correlation and regression analyses. The results were illustrated using graphs and pie charts. The study revealed that manufacturing under bond had a positive and significant effect on customs duty compliance, with a coefficient of β= 0.457 and a p-value of less than 0.05. The study concludes that the rise in manufacturing under bond has led to a significant enhancement in customs duty compliance among automobile exporters, demonstrating the success of this strategy in fostering regulatory adherence within the automotive export sector. The research recommends that the Kenya Revenue Authority, along with the Government, should develop policies that promote manufacturing aimed at exportation.

Abstract: This study has as objective to situate the historical context in which the new paradigm of commercial motorbike transportation; an informal economic activity, emerged in the late 1990s through the early 2000s in Bangem town. It treats the genesis/implantation, challenges and implications of the sector in Bangem. The paper contends that, the very difficult impacts of the economic crisis of the second half of the 1980s and early 1990s that hit Cameroon at large and Bangem in particular amongst other factors brought untold hardship on the locals exhibited by poverty and mass unemployment of youths. It was the economic crisis and the ensued hardship that was the basis and catalyst for the pursuit of informal economic activities as niches for economic survival, growth and livelihood. Commercial motorbike transportation thus provided a new avenue for economic livelihood.  Based on primary, secondary data and the authors’ observations, the study reveals that commercial motorbike transportation greatly ameliorated the lives and living standards of many youths who found a way of making ends meet in the sector. More to that, Motorbike transportation became the main means of transportation within the Bangem township and greatly helped to palliate the movement of persons from Bamgem municipality to the neighbouring villages due to the flexibility and adaptive nature of the bikes. Motorbike transportation also aided in the transportation of agricultural products from the suburbs and environs of Bangem Township that had been a major handicap for the rural farmers due to the poor state of the roads within the entire Kupe-Muanengube division. Commercial motorbike transportation was therefore a new paradigm of informal economic activity that had come to stay and to contribute to the socio-economic fabric of Bangem town.

Abstract: The objective of this study was to examine the determinants of rural household poverty in Zimbabwe using Nkayi district as a case study. Cross-sectional data was collected from randomly selected 150 households across 5 wards chosen at random in Nkayi district. The study employed the logit model in analysing the data. Estimations were undertaken using the maximum likelihood technique. The study adopted the consumption approach to poverty and total consumption poverty line (TCPL) of $175 from ZIMSTAT. The household poverty prevalence was found to be at 82.7 per cent indicating that rural poverty is still a problem in Nkayi district. The results revealed that the coefficients of the marital status of household head, size of cattle herd, household’s ownership of scotch cart and the level of education of the household head were statistically significant and had a negative relationship with poverty. The coefficients of the age of the household head and the household dependency ratio were also statistically significant and had a positive relationship with poverty. Therefore, it is suggested that policies and programmes that aim at reducing rural poverty should promote education for the rural poor. They should also target asset building like cattle and scotch cart for the poor. Finally, the study recommends the creation of safety nets for the households headed by old aged people, unmarried people and those households with high dependency ratio.
