ABSTRACT
The objective of this article is to study the impact of new technologies on the quality of public services within the Cameroon Public Administration, a system put in place through the project of devolution of the management of State personnel and payroll, of which SIGIPES constitutes its IT base. To carry out this study, we used the qualitative method of analysis of the sociology of organisations and in particular the strategic analysis of Crozier (1979) through the theory of the strategic actor. An interview guide was administered to the various stakeholders, i.e. staff and users. The results of this work show that, although the speed of files processing has increased substantially, the technology has not fundamentally improved the quality of public services within the Cameroon Public Administration. It is no less cumbersome, burdensome, inefficient and corrupt. It continues to be plagued by ills that undermine it and prevent it from increasing its performance and providing quality services. It is a reflection of its public officials who develop behaviours resistant to change and strategies aimed at preserving their particular interests at the expense of the general interest.

ABSTRACT
Reduplication is a grammatical aspect found in a wide range of African languages and it is sometimes interchangeably used with repetition. Reduplication is both a morphological and a phonological process of forming a compound word by repeating all or part of the word. Morphological reduplication involves semantic change through another word formation process while phonological reduplication is where the copying pics the closest phonological input restricted to cases of phonological necessity. Lukisa, a Luhya dialect is expected to exhibit a range of patterns in reduplication which varies from a single segment being copied to an entire phrase. Although linguistic forms of reduplication have been explored at lexical and functional levels, there is need to validate morphological doubling involving the creation of new stem type reduplication as a limitless linguistic resource, a central meaning making strategy and a naturally integrated facility in language. Therefore, the objective of this study is to establish how pseudo reduplication manifests in Lukisa reduplication. Inkelas and Zoll (2005) Morphological Doubling Theory was adopted for this study where morphology calls twice for a constituent of a given semantic description with possible phonological modification of either or both constituents. MDT is a native identity theory in the sense that the surface phonological identity between the two copies occurs as a side effect of semantic identity.

ABSTRACT
Nigeria is endowed with tremendous and unimaginable human and natural resources. Since its rise to nationhood, agriculture was the major driver of its economy. The discovery of crude oil at Oloibiri in the Niger Delta in 1956 and with the production of 5,100 Barrels per day, crude oil receipts replaced agriculture as the major source of revenue for the government. The country depended solely on oil which has made its economy vulnerable to external shocks, resulting from price variations in the global oil market. This situation has affected the performance of its budgetary spending and poor handling of economic diversification drives. It is against this background that this paper intends to explore the potentials of a neglected industry like the tourist sector, using Kalale and Boziya as viable tourism destinations for social and economic developments in Zamfara State and Nigeria at large. The paper initiated strategies for the improvements of these identified tourism locations for recreational benefits, income generation and the development of critical infrastructures among others in Kalale and Boziya. The methodologies adopted in the collation of data were oral interviews, fieldworks, observation, and use of relevant documentaries. Multidisciplinary approach, historical and archaeological surveys were also applied and undertaken. The findings revealed that Kalale and Boziya have the potentials for tourist attractions that will usher in a significant inflow of foreign reserve that will further boost the economy of Zamfara State and Nigeria, besides the capacity of the industry in employment generation, alleviation of poverty and social cohesion among several other advantages.

ABSTRACT
The study examined the influence of gender, level of study, age as well as religion of undergraduate students on attitude towards studying Social Studies in higher institutions of learning. These were with the view of providing information on the influence of demographic variables on undergraduate students’ attitude towards studying Social Studies in higher institutions of learning. The study adopted a survey research design. The population of the study consisted of the Social Studies Education students of higher institutions of learning. The sample for the study comprised one hundred and sixty (160) students selected through multistage sampling procedure. Four states were selected out of the six states that made up southwestern Nigeria through simple random sampling technique. Four universities were purposively selected, one from each selected states, based on the fact that they are offering Social Studies as a course of study. Forty Social Studies students were selected through simple random sampling techniques from each of the four selected university. The forty students in each institution comprised ten (10) students each from Part 1 through to Part 4. The instrument used for the study is a self-developed questionnaire tagged Questionnaire on Students’ Attitudes Towards Studying Social Studies (QSATSS). The instrument was validated and subjected to Cronbach alpha reliability test which yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.81. Data collected were analysed using simple percentages, frequency counts and Chi-square statistics. The results among others showed that the level of study has significant influence on undergraduate students attitude towards studying Social Studies (X2 = 11.708, p < 0.05). The study recommended among others that undergraduate students should have positive attitude towards Social Studies as a field of study.

ABSTRACT
The pandemic may have changed the landscape of how they learn but the purpose of education remains the same – that is for the students to be able to apply what they have learned for the greater good of the community. It is a must that teachers and learners adapt to the new normal. This research aimed to determine the challenges in the new learning modalities of elementary school teachers, district of San Felipe, Zambales SY 2020-2021. The study made use of descriptive research design with the aid of questionnaires as the main instrument in gathering the data. The respondents were the one hundred eight public elementary school teachers in district of San Felipe, Division of Zambales. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis and statistical treatment of data. The findings of the study indicate that the challenges in the new learning modalities of elementary school teachers are the conduct of assessment test and obtaining learners’ level of understanding, avoidance of plagiarism and balancing of diverse need, the safety of both teachers and parents on the handling of learning materials such as disinfection and the checking of self-learning modules and reviewing the learner’s performance. A no significant difference was found between the perception of the respondents towards the challenges of the new learning modalities of elementary school teachers when grouped according to the respondents’ age, civil status, and positions. And there exist a significant were found in the difference between the perception of the respondents towards the challenges of the new learning modalities of elementary school teachers when grouped according to the respondents’ sex.

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this research was to determine the training needs of the five (5) areas outlined in the Results-Based Performance Management System. These areas, as specified in their Individual Performance Commitment and Review Form (IPCRF), served as the foundation for developing a faculty competence improvement program. 90 senior high school Science students participated in the survey. The descriptive survey research design was used for this investigation. The data was gathered using a questionnaire designed to analyze the needs of public senior high school science teachers in five areas: Teaching Learning Process; Student Outcomes; Community Involvement; Professional Growth and Development; and Class Management. The findings of the investigation show that instructors' professional knowledge, professional practice, and professional qualities are quite visible. The results demonstrated that the participants were highly competent in the various areas, although they need considerably required training in the Teaching-Learning Process, Professional Growth and Development, Class Management, Community Involvement, and Student Outcomes. The research suggests that the Public Schools District could consider the Proposed Capability Enhancement Program for Senior High School Teachers. These may be an avenue for potential subjects for LAC sessions in senior high schools. Topics linked to the stated requirements of Senior High School instructors, particularly in terms of Classroom Management, are included. Rep the research study, concentrating on particular components of the Training Needs Analysis (TNA) under pedagogy and subject knowledge.
