Abstract: Although frequent examinations are part of the learning process, examination anxiety can make some students to underperform. This study carried out in Kajiado North Constituency, Kenya, was designed to compare levels of students' examination anxiety during normal school time and examination time; and to investigate the impact of examination anxiety on academic performance of students in public secondary schools. A sample of 360 was drawn from a population of 6268 students for 16 public school using cluster and simple random sampling techniques. The study used descriptive correlational research design. Two standardized tools were used to collect the data. A mark sheet was used to collect secondary data of student test/exam marks. Using SPSS, version 22, data was analyzed and presented in descriptive and inferential forms, and discussed according to the objectives. Examination anxiety was........

Abstract: The transition from pre-primary to Grade one need to set proper expectation measures to enhance effective transition. However, Grade one teachers are complaining of poor entry behavior of a learner from preschool. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the influence of teaching methods in meeting expectation for the transition from preschool to Grade one. The study was based on the constructivist theory of learning. This study employed a survey research design. The target population was 1848 participants. The sample size was 272 preschool and 210 Grade one teacher. The study employed stratified random and simple random sampling. Research instruments used in this study were questionnaires and interview schedules. Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis. Quantitative....

Abstract: There have been numerous private security organizations providing services in Bangladesh over the previous two decades. In Bangladesh, it is estimated that about 400 agencies are involved in the security services market. These companies offered their services at the level of security that the market demanded. The goal of this study is to determine the workers' working conditions and difficulties. Data was collected using an interviewing method and questionnaire procedures. The major method of data collection was a representative survey of commercial security agencies. The findings reveal that security agencies vary greatly in size and function, with the vast majority of security agencies being tiny and only offering guarding services. Private security services appear to.......

Abstract: Huntington's disease is a neurological disorder marked with mental symptoms as well as severe cognitive and emotional impairments. In pre-symptomatic HD (pre-HD) individuals, several pathological alterations can already be seen. We review functions of the Huntington protein and discuss CAG repeat expansion has deleterious repercussions, resulting in an exceptionally lengthy polyglutamine tract. Using bioinformatics techniques, we go over some of the existing pharmaceutical treatments for delaying the progression of the disease. We investigate the fundamental molecular pathways and discover important compounds in Huntington's disease. We go on molecular genetic testing, clinical characteristics of the disorder, and genetic counseling. The number of HTT CAG repeats is used to characterize drug development and gene expression profiles. Our study will assist in directing the development of medicines that target the disrupted pathways' altered genes and metabolites, resulting in a reduction in clinical signs and, perhaps, a delay in start age..

Abstract: Because the primary goal of ESP is to educate students to utilize English in specific job settings, it is critical for ESP course planners to be aware of student needs, conducting a requirements analysis, according to Basturkmen (2010), it can assist curriculum designers in developing effective ESP courses or programs. According to ESP experts, a course without a requirements analysis lacks the specific and explicit goals needed to deliver the attention needed for clear and effective outcomes. They said that ESP courses created without a needs analysis typically have too much or too little teaching to fulfill the needs of the students. To find out the reasons for former student's poor English achievement and what and how the Business English program can be improved in the case of Baria-Vung Tau University, a proper Needs Analysis (NA) is needed. Therefore, the study used a model for Business English courses of Dudley-Evans & St John (1998) and Dudley-Evans (1998) to measure the current students' needs in foreign trade operation skills as well as other stakeholders' needs. The research finds out some valid results to answer the......

Abstract: Women, leadership and glass ceiling have been a point of reference to many appointments into many leadership positions in both political and education sectors in Nigeria. That is why this paper considers issues such as women and the glass ceiling, types of glass ceiling and glass cliff, why men do not want women to reach the top of their career either in politics, academic and other corporate bodies. The paper reveals that women are not usually considered for appointment into positions of leadership in Nigeria. Only 24% of current ministers in Nigeria are women. In Ondo State, only four out of fourteen commissioners are women. Also, men are often considered for appointment into leadership position in the education sector. Out of one hundred and fifty two Provosts of Colleges of Education in Nigeria, only eleven are women. Women in Nigeria still face a lot of barriers in aspiring to......

Abstract: The small size of the intra-oceanic market, the lack of major infrastructure linking states, and the absence of a legal framework facilitating trade in services, as well as the free movement of people and goods, seriously hinder IOC's economic integration. As a result, in recent years the IOC has encouraged its Member States to integrate into the major economic markets of Eastern and Southern Africa, including currently the SADC-EAC-COMESA tripartite Free Trade Area. However, it is very important to ask ourselves about the major stakes and challenges of the integration of these States into this zone. What impact will this LTTA have on the development of the Indian Ocean region?.
