Abstract: Since the end of World War II, the international community has had to set up international criminal tribunals to address post conflict justice demands. After the Sierra Leonean civil war, in 2002, the United Nations in agreement with the government of Sierra Leone set up the Special Court for Sierra Leon to try people who were alleged to have committed atrocities and abuses during the war. The study explored the nexus between the stability enjoyed by the country and the activities of the court. The study adopted a survey research design. Using a population made up of the people in Sierra Leone, the study adopted the multi stage sampling technique to arrive at the four towns in Sierra Leone selected for study. The study found that  72% of the respondents and all interview stated that the activities of the court had restrained people from starting another war and only 36% of the respondents agreed that the victims have  forgiven their abusers. The study concluded that even though the activities of the Special Court acted as a  deterrence to further hostilities in the  country, the court did not substantially contribute to the country’s post conflict stability to the extent that it did not achieve reconciliation of the victims with their abusers. The study recommends that future international criminal tribunals criminal tribunals should pursue reconciliation of victims and abusers as a matter of deliberate mandate rather than retributive mandate through trials.

Abstract: This descriptive-correlational study identified and correlate the Literature 121 teachers’ teaching styles and their profile in the college of arts and communication of the University of Eastern Philippines. It used a survey questionnaire as research instrument.

The findings revealed that most of the teacher respondents had already stayed long in their field of profession. This implies that they have the capacity to teach the literature 121 subjects because they are already considered veteran practitioners. A majority of them are female which implies that in literature teaching female teachers dominate the male. Majority of them attained their doctorate degree. It can be implied that the trend in attaining higher education is of paramount importance in this time.

The teaching style of the student respondents was tactile. It can be implied that they can learn through hands-on approach involving creativity, mode building, note taking and experimentation.

Keywords: Teaching styles, age, sex, educational attainment and years of experience.

Abstract: This article engages in the discourse of peacekeeping missions in Africa and the role Regional organizations have had in organizing such operations in the continent of Africa.  Specifically, this paper purports to examine the the paper shall  highlight some of the success of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) and discuss the future of The African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) in resolving conflicts in Africa.  The AU’s approach to the resolution of the Somalia conflict was a multi-level one, which incorporated the UN and the RECs with the AU. The AU preferred to utilize the IGAD to initiate and direct the peace negotiations in Somalia. AMISOM as a peacekeeping operation was a multilateral undertaking backed by the UN through resolutions UNSCR 1725 and UNSCR 1744.  This paper finally highlights some lessons learnt from the mission in the Horn of Africa and how the African Union can facilitate the initiation of negations for peace even in some of Africa’s most conflictual situations.

Abstract: The study’s overall purpose is to emphasize the significance of appointing Filipinas as Ambassadors in the Foreign Service. In doing so, the study sought to answer what are the approaches of Filipina Ambassadors and how they utilize those approaches to effect change in the Service; hence, making their appointment significant. The researchers conducted interviews with Filipino Ambassadors (a man and a woman) and key participants with background in diplomacy. The conducted interviews were utilized with gathered secondary sources, enabling the study to determine that the appointment of Filipinas as Ambassadors is significant in the Foreign Service through the development of themes which satisfyingly answered the study’s problems. Most importantly, the study was able to manifest as well that gender is not a qualification in the field of Foreign Service because both genders can do what other can and they both have something to contribute in different aspects which make them complementary and effective.

Abstract: The study is a qualitative research which is focused on the experiences of teachers in handling Mother Tongue Based-Multi-Lingual Education in Midsayap, North Cotabato. This research explored on the teachers’ experiences in handling MTB-MLE in terms of subject area as a medium; teaching- learning process; Teachers training and development; and preparation of Learning resources. It also described the teachers aspirations in the implementation of MTB-MLE in the basic education.

Findings revealed that all teachers encountered difficulties on the language used as medium of instruction. Teachers who are non- Ilonggo experience difficulty using the dialect or language as medium of instruction. Also, there are terminologies used in learning resources which are not common or unfamiliar. Though teachers described these experiences in terms of learning subject/area as medium of instruction a very challenging, one needs to learn or familiarize the first language or mother tongue of their learners in order to communicate with them. Teachers need to translate terminologies for the learners to understand the lesson. The teachers device mechanisms or used strategies in the conduct of the lesson. The common strategy used to address the problem is the use of translation method or code-switching. Code-switching means shifting from Ilonggo language (Hiligaynon) to  Filipino language which is understood by all learners to be used in classroom especially for classes which are multi-lingual. Though teachers have been teaching in Midsayap for several years, it is not an assurance that participants are considered proficient and competent in Hiligaynon language. The teacher continuously conducted the lessons using variety of language where students can learn. As experienced, most of them have to do adopt new teaching strategy to facilitate learning.

The result implies that there is better communication process between the teachers and the learners. The used of mother tongue can be a contributory factor in learning but this can be realized only if the learners are mono-lingual.

Abstract: The primary objective of the study was to explore the instructional supervision practices of secondary school heads in Maguindanao 1 Division. This qualitative research employed phenomenological approach aimed to explore the instructional supervision practices of secondary school heads in Maguindanao 1 Division.  Fifteen secondary school heads as Key Informants were selected. The study revealed the different instructional supervision practices of secondary school heads in the Maguindanao 1 Division and the challenges encountered by the secondary school heads. As to the instructional supervision practices of secondary school heads they have identified two major practices such as close instructional supervision and walkthrough supervision.

Regarding the challenges encountered, there were several challenges encountered in the conduct of instructional supervision of the school principal such as lack of itemized teachers to teach in different field of specialization, lack of resources such as learning materials and facilities and school is situated in a conflict prone area. 

In conclusion, instructional supervision practices were conducted and observed by the secondary school heads. A number of challenges were also faced by supervisors during their supervisory duties, and most of these challenges had hindered the success of supervision as well as affected the entire school and classroom instructional performance. To counteract the adverse effect of these, the secondary school heads have rendered interventions to these challenges. It is noticeable that supervision promotes teacher’s professional growth and development as well as benefits the teachers with technical skills.

Finally, Instructional Supervision is one of the main functions of the school administrator particularly on the aspect of supervision in instruction to ensure quality instruction and teaching that leads to the promotion of learners’ holistic development.

Abstract: To understand women status in Afghanistan, one has to consider the country’s multi-ethnic, multilingual and traditional society, which has historically been governed along tribal lines and by a weak central government. Today’s Afghan women bear the huge and heavy burden of four decades war and conflicts. Early at the beginning of the 20^th century, Afghan women, as a result of the first constitutional movement under the leadership of King Amanullah Khan succeeded in gaining some of their human rights and freedoms. King Amanullah Khan’s democratic plans included the elimination of burqa, access to education and active participation of women in the social, economic, political and cultural process in the society. But unfortunately, after the fall of Soviet-backed government of Kabul and their subsequent regimes – Mujahideen and Taliban, all those values were buried soon.

Abstract: The present research article is an attempt to compare and contrast Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyaya’s novella Devdas with three of its cinematic renderings in Hindi. The purpose is to find out the quintessence of original novella in the movies based on it. Works of creative literature have been used as the subject matter of movies since its inception. However, the business consideration, public tastes based on ethical norms and the film- maker’s own perception of the work of art make the directors omit/ include many new things and ideas in their cinematic adaptations. The rate of deviation is so high that many times it kills the basic spirit of the original work. The novella Devdas has been a great fascination for the film makers because of its vast emotional appeal.  P. C. Barua’s directed Devdas (1935) truthfully presents rural Bengali community life in the context of class-caste dynamics of pre- independence India. Bimal Roy’s Devdas (1955) is real and emblematic at the same time. The director has been able to raise the particular story of an alcoholic lover to the general saga all failed loves. Bhansali, on the other hand, tries to put his own philosophy of two separated lover, desperately yearning to have just a last glimpse of each other (2002).

Keywords: quintessence, adaptation, novella, dynamics, emblematic, life-vision, moralizations, stereotyping.

Abstract: Road safety in Kenya has since the mid-2010s caused more lingering questions following increasingly persistent road carnage in central and western regions. In response, this study set out to assess the consistency of driver support practices and their effect on road safety in the south western sub region, particularly Kisumu County. An exploratory and descriptive correlational research design was adopted for the study based on the quantitative and qualitative approach. A study population of 1919 people was coherently identified and grouped in categories that were adopted as sampling frames to select a study sample of 365 participants for field survey. The study found that the level of road safety in rural areas was low and relatively high in urban areas of Kisumu County. Road fatality was only less fairly reduced on rural roads and more relatively decreased on urban roads. This was congruently attributed to inconsistencies in maintenance of roads, training of motorcyclists including the infamous Bodas and Tuk-tuk, as well as enforcement gaps of vehicle safety gadgets that varied between rural and urban Kisumu. Road maintenance was irregular in most of rural Kisumu and relatively regular in urban Kisumu, respectively. Motorcyclist training was less consistent in most of both rural and urban areas of the county; only riders had formal road use training. Use of vehicle safety gadgets was very rare in most rural and fairly consistent in urban Kisumu. In conclusion, the level of road safety in Kisumu County had a very significant bearing on the consistency of all the three driver support practices investigated. The county had a lot more to do with such practices most especially training of Bodaboda and Tuk-tuk riders to boost road safety that has for long been below par.  It was recommended that Kenya’s State Departments for Transport and Infrastructure, Kisumu County Government, the private sector and all other road users in the county should collectively help sustain driver support as required by Kenya’s road safety policy. All stakeholders can do that by going about their road use responsibilities in a rational and best practice fashion.
