ABSTRACT
Studies worldwide have revealed that school administrators are key contributors to students’ academic performance by enhancing physical facilities within schools. Notwithstanding this assertion in some countries academic performances have been found to be low despite this administrators’ contribution. For instance, in Kenya the average performance for the years 2010 to 2014, only 29% candidates scored above a mean score of 6.00 points. In Emuhaya and Vihiga Sub Counties 3535 (26%) and 2104 (15%) candidates respectively scored 6.00 and above points compared to Hamisi and Sabatia Sub-Counties’ with 3913 (28%) and 4275 (31%) candidates respectively between years 2009 and 2013. The objective of the study was to establish the contribution of school administrators to physical facilities in the enhancement of students’ academic performance. The study was guided by a conceptual framework in which the independent variable was the administrators’ contribution in form of physical facilities, and the dependent: variable students’ academic performance. The study established that administrators’ contribution to physical facilities was moderate (Adjusted R2= 0.303), and thus enhanced students’ academic performance by 30.3%. The study concluded that administrators’ contribution to physical facilities was significant and therefore, enhanced students’ academic performance. The study recommended that administrators should increase their contribution to physical facilities in order to enhance students’ academic performance. The study findings are of significance to school administrators, policy makers and other stakeholders with regard to enhancement of students’ academic performance by providing physical facilities

ABSTRACT
No one exists in isolation. The sustenance of every individual person as a human in a society is expediently determined by one's responses to law and morality. Think of a state of lawlessness, a state comparable to Hobbes’ state of nature, where the morality of the people living there is at nadir, it then follows that chaos, anarchy and survival of the fittest takes precedence in such a society. Most of us are familiar with laws but few of us know what they are. The problem of the relationship between law and morality looms large since the dawn of analytic jurisprudence. Earlier legal positivists were of the view that there is no necessary connection between law and morality whereas both concepts are held to be the same by the natural law theorists. When Professor. H. L. A. Hart came to the intellectual scene, a new horizon opened to accommodate the inseparability of the two disciplines, namely: law and morality. Applying the methods of analysis and hermeneutics one discovers that the early legal positivists championed by the utilitarians like Jeremy Bentham, John Austin, Hans Keelson, Joseph Raz are morally arbitrary and indifferent to reality when we critically consider their no necessary connection thesis. Hart is widely known for his discussion and views about the relationship between law and morality. As a starting point, he acknowledge that there are various ways that law is intimately connected with morals but quickly asserts that this truth if not well considered may illicitly be taken as a warrant for different kinds of positions. From all indication, for Hart, law and morality are bonded together in what can be described as mutual complementarity rather than severing one from the other. Hart’s theory mediates between the theories uphold by natural law theorists and the early legal positivist, otherwise known as exclusive legal positivists. And the conclusion is that the thought and idea of Hart on the separability thesis is that there are some legal syste

ABSTRACT
More scenic spots in China are becoming tourist destinations for overseas visitors and are providing more public materials as well as the English translation for them. This paper analyses the English translation of tourist material of Baiyangdian Lake in Hebei province China with the guidance of the speech act theory proposed and developed by Austin, Searle and other scholars. Baiyangdian Lake is a national 5A tourist spot in Xiong’an New Area to the south of Beijing. The analysis of the tourist site can offer some suggestions for improving the language quality. And it tries to conclude the misuses in the spot from three aspects based on the case analysis of the improper expressions of Baiyangdian Lake.

ABSTRACT
This study investigated the awareness and purpose of electronic information resources among postgraduate students of library and information science in Borno State. The descriptive survey research design was adopted for this study. Two objectives and two research questions were formulated to guide the study. The population of this study comprised 3073 postgraduate students in university of Maiduguri for 2019/2020 session. The purposive sampling technique was used to select all the 259 postgraduate students offering library and information science in University of Maiduguri. Data for this study was collected using of structured questionnaire developed by the researcher. The study used mean and standard deviation as statistical measures for data analysis. The finding revealed that PG students are aware of electronic information resources such as e-journals, e-books, e-mails, e-databases, e-magazines, e-serials, e-dissertation and theses, WWW, e-mails, CD-ROMs, online public access dialogue, reference databases, e-images and e-audio visual resources. The result also revealed that the purpose to which they use electronic information resources in federal universities in North East, Nigeria. The purposes included using library’s electronic information resources to source materials for research/writing project; using library’s electronic information resources to do class assignments; using electronic information resources to augment class works; using the electronic catalogue (OPAC) for sourcing information in the library; using the internet in the library to generally source information in the library. Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended among others that academic staff should be included in the selection process of e-databases so that they would confirm the relevancy of the databases and may appreciate the databases and therefore would recommend students to use the e-databases

ABSTRACT
The international transfer of prisoners is a repatriation of own prisoners from foreign countries where they have been sentenced to their home country for serving the unexecuted part of their imprisonment punishment. This is the only modality of international judicial cooperation designed to benefit nationals of the receiving country. Their transfer aims, mostly, at saving from bad conditions abroad. In addition, accepting countries often try to grant further benefits to their repatriated nationals, first of all, by pardoning them. However, the pardon is a typical but, at the same time, not a popular solution. Any release of transferees, including the conditional and the one based on amnesty, by a given country is likely to prevent foreign countries from transferring its imprisoned nationals prisoners to it. This is why the unreasonable pardoning of transferees may inevitably sacrifice the essential interests of a greater number of other nationals imprisoned abroad (already sentenced or those who will be sentenced in a foreign country). Apart from this tactical issue, the receiving country must, first of all, clarify whether it can legally grant pardon to transferees. This is even a more difficult and controversial issue. It is the subject of this paper

ABSTRACT
Emotional intelligence (EI) is being recognised to be one of the important pillars of the skills and abilities needed today, whether in organizations or in life. Understanding the levels of EI at any organization helps to detect problems and create a harmonious working environment. In the education sector, this understanding helps generate a more effective learning and teaching environment which in turn improves productivity of the students and enhance their skills. This paper looks at the levels of emotional intelligence in private colleges and universities in Oman. Using the WEIS questionnaires, the findings revealed a moderate to high levels of EI among the students regardless of their age and gender. The sample covered 150 students from five colleges and two universities in the Sultanate of Oman, total of 7 higher education institutions.

ABSTRACT
Curriculum is one of the important factors to improve education quality. In Indonesia, the curriculum has already changed in some occasions. At this time, the government has implemented the 2013 curriculum (K-13) as the revision of School Level-Based Curriculum development. The main purpose of K-13 is to shape the individuals who are faithful in God, good in characters, confident, successful in learning, responsible for the citizens and positive contributors to civilization. Thus, the teachers should have good classroom management skill to manage the classroom well in every situation. In addition, to create an effective learning environment, a teacher needs to play some roles for classroom activities. Therefore, this study aims to describe the English teacher’s classroom management during the teaching and learning process at tenth grade of SMAN 7 Malang. The researcher uses three instruments to measure the implementation of classroom management by the teacher that are observation form, interview guide, and field notes. The observation form is adopted from Burden (1995) and Teaff (2007). Then, the interview guide of this study is adapted from Astuti (2015) the researcher has 15 questions related to classroom management. The field notes are used for collecting the data in the field. The subjects of the study are the English teacher and 35 students of X MIPA 4 class. Moreover, this study uses descriptive qualitative research. The result of this study showed that there are two aspects of classroom management are not fulfilled by the teacher, such as instructional strategies and social climates. However, the teacher succeeded to implement three aspects in his class, such as physical arrangement, instructional time and behavioral consideration. Hence, the implementation of classroom management was quite good to support the teaching and learning process

ABSTRACT
This study analyzed the values contained in the huwi lo yimelu and mongolota maluo tradition in rural Gorontalo. These researches are descriptive qualitative research with an ethnographic approach. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews and participant observation and then analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that the huwi lo yimelu tradition was still adopted by rural communities in Gorontalo, despite some changes. The tradition of slaughtering chickens has rituals and myths that must be carried out to create a sense of pleasure in the chicken slaughter. This tradition gives birth to distinctive patterns for obtaining slaughtered chickens in huwi lo yimelu; the models are mongohi (sharing), mohile (asking), moluwalo (buying symbolically) and motali (buying cheaply). These traditions not only show the sharing of poverty among the poor of farm families but also show the sharing of wealth between social classes. This tradition gives birth to the value of solidarity and happiness, namely the satisfaction of gathering with family, the joy of eating a special menu, and the pleasure of welcoming the holy month of Ramadan

ABSTRACT
The study investigated the Social Studies students level of awareness and attitude towards sex education. This study employed an ex-post facto research design. Four hundred students participated in the study. The research instrument was the questionnaire tagged “Students Level Awareness and Attitude Towards Sex Education (SLAATSE). The data collected were analysed using the using t-test statistics test of significance. Data collected were tested using one-way sample and independent-sample t-test at 0.05 level of significance. The research found out that there is no significant difference in Social Studies students level of awareness of sex education; that there is no significant difference in Social Studies students' attitude towards sex education; that Social Studies students level of awareness and attitude towards sex education did not vary based on gender. One of the recommendations is that Social Studies teachers should teach comprehensive sex education without any element of bias to any aspect of sex education content

ABSTRACT
This study was instigated by the urgent need for sufficient content knowledge and skills of teaching secondary school biology in Kenya, whose lack thereof has occasioned consistent poor performance by students in national examinations for the last 9 years. The study was implemented using the descriptive survey research design and was conducted in selected universities across the Republic of Kenya and public secondary schools in Bungoma County, Kenya. The target populations were 4000 fourth year undergraduate Biology education students on their teaching practice, who were all selected from Kenyan public universities that offer Bachelor of Education Science degree program. A sample of 400 undergraduate students was selected from 3 universities and used as respondents by simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using observation checklists. A pilot study was carried out two weeks to the actual study, to assess the suitability of these research instruments for collecting the required data before the actual study. Validity of the instruments was assessed using the Rasch Model, while reliability of the quantitative ones was assessed using the test-retest method. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive measures namely; frequencies, means and percentages. Results revealed that the sampled pre-service Biology teachers’ content knowledge and skills needed to teach Biology in Kenyan secondary schools was average hence insufficient for effective implementation of the Biology curriculum.

ABSTRACT
The study investigated the biology teachers’ training needs and competencies in the use of technology for instruction in Biology in Kenyan secondary schools. The research was based on David Ausubel’s Meaningful Learning Theory and was implemented via a mixed methods approach, using descriptive survey research design as a model. The target population was the 400 fourth year undergraduate Biology education students in the 25 public universities that offer Biology teacher education programmes and 200 of their biology teacher education lecturers. The study’s sample comprised of 400 undergraduate students and 20 lecturers, all selected from 3 public universities in the country. The respondents were selected by purposive, proportionate stratified and simple random sampling. Data were collected using the Teachers’ Technological Training Needs’ Questionnaire (TTTNQ), which was validated at the piloting stage two weeks to the actual study, using biology instruction research experts. Reliability of the TTTNQ was also verified during the pilot study, using the test-retest method. The collected data were analyzed quantitatively, using frequencies and percentages whose findings have been presented in form of tables, bar graphs and pie charts. Results revealed that majority of the selected pre-service teachers have numerous technological training needs for effective biology instruction, a revelation that has implications that may affect future policies on the Biology teacher training programmes offered in Kenyan public universities currently.
