The impact of research and mentorship in a fast- paced digitized world on institutions of higher education, communities and nations have been remarkable. Evidence- based research and mentorship have been associated with enhanced science identity, productivity, recruitment and career satisfaction and self- efficacy of individuals and institutions and helps us to better understand the evolving community needs. In the last quinquennial, research and mentorship have grown in importance as it seeks to build individual’s and institution’s confidence, improves communication, critical thinking and problem- solving skills. However, the issue of inadequate documentation, inconsistent methodological practices, varied definitions for the same topic coupled with the risk of being bias, time consuming and cost- involving makes it difficult to quantify its influence on individuals, institutions and communities. The study therefore examines the effectiveness of research and mentorship on the performance of students and faculty members in institutions of higher education in Ghana.

The impact of evidence- based research and mentorship as effective response to future epidemics and disruptions in any sector of the world’s economy, including educational sector have been remarkable. Research and Mentorship seek to identify knowledge gaps in education and motivate individuals to effectively handle those deficiencies. In the last triennial, research and mentorship have grown in importance as it seeks to build students and institution’s confidence, improves communication, critical thinking and problem- solving skills and helps us to better understand the evolving educational needs. In Ghana, the Ministry of Education through evidence- based research strategies is enhancing continuity of safe and inclusive schools by building new STEAM schools and providing good water. Nevertheless, the issue of inconsistent methodological practices and varied definitions for the same topic coupled with the risk of being bias, time consuming and cost- involving makes it difficult to quantify its influence on individuals, institutions and communities.

In today’s fast- paced digitized world economy, access to authentic information in any field, including education should be made readily available to the public. Open Source then becomes an important platform in providing the necessary nuance and context in filling the gap in research. Here, students, faculty members and institutions have the liberty to collaborate, share, reuse and exchange scholarly works. Some recent empirical studies have shown that most academic libraries in the world have started integrating open source into their system in order to widely explore, circulate and access scholarly articles and also enhance research works in Institutions of Higher Education. Open Source Systems in research such as RStudio, Koha, Destiny, NewGenLib, Fedora, OpenSesame, LabJS builder, Jamovi, JASP and Zotero are designed to be compatible and interoperable with other systems and therefore speed up innovation. In Ghana, the Government through the Ministry of Education (MoE) in consultation with both public and private agencies such as the Ghana Centre for Free and Open Source Software (GCFOSS) are pioneering the use of open source for socio- economic development in the country. Conversely, some researchers have associated open source with the risk of operational deficiencies, intellectual property issues, lack of warranty and poor developer practices. In the light of this, the paper aims to assess the effectiveness of open source to research in promoting sustainable academic libraries in Africa from the perspective of Ghana. A survey questionnaire was distributed randomly to a total of 300 faculty members and lecturers at the Akenten Appiah- Menka University of Skill Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED) in Kumasi. The data for this mixed research method were analysed quantitatively using IBM SPSS software (version 23) and qualitatively using the responses from respondents. The result shows that a lot of faculty members use open source and are satisfied with it. The outcomes indicate that open source in research has a great effectiveness in promoting sustainable academic libraries in Africa, specifically Ghana. For further studies, there is the need to consider the perceptions of open source in academic libraries in Africa.THE IMPACT OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY ON TECHNICAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TR...

In today’s economic landscape, the nature of occupation and the skills required has been transformed by the advent of digital technologies. Digital technology has a propensity for change and many individuals, institutions and national economies have commended the opportunities it presents, including those in the TVET sector. It seeks to make students, faculty members and industry players in TVET relevant and benefit from the fourth industrial revolution by customizing their learning experiences, discovering new educational opportunities and supporting continuous skills development. As illustrated in the One District, One Factory initiative, the Government of Ghana through the Ministry of Education is poised in integrating digital technology in TVET for an efficient and effective industrial drive. However, some empirical study shows that digital technology is associated with the risk of being expensive, frequent data lost and security concerns, system and machine breakdown and inadequate digitized facilitators. This study therefore aims to access the impact of digital technology in TVET for sustainable national development. THE IMPACT OF E-LIBRARY ON THE PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS AND FACULTY MEMBERS IN...

In today’s era of digitization, libraries across Africa are gradually shifting from piles of books to becoming digital, making it more effective, efficient, usable, accessible, quality and ensuring user satisfaction. Electronic library is a digital setting that keeps and organizes electronic books and their associated documents. Electronic libraries present a new and better platform for providing 24/7 access to latest and updated library materials, improving research and sharing knowledge. In well- developed economies, virtual library is the main source for preserving information and disseminating knowledge. In Ghana, the government through its agency, Ghana Library Authority has setup a digital library contents where students, including those in the health sector can read, watch and listen to eBook, video and audiobook collections aimed at optimizing responsible use of time for children whilst ensuring quality education. Nevertheless, some traditional librarians are of the view that electronic library has challenges which could limit its services, including intermittent power supply, limited access to internet services, poor and sufficient bandwidth. This paper therefore determines the impact of e- library on the performance of health students in institutions of higher education in Africa.

In a fast- paced digitized world, equal access to quality education can be achieved through Safe and Inclusive Learning Environment (SILE) that values diversity and uniqueness of each student in the classroom. Despite their background, students in a safe and inclusive environment always feel respected, happy and valued. A safe and inclusive learning environment provides a positive educational space that considers colour scheme, lighting, heating, cooling and ventilation, furniture and equipment in its construction. It enhances students’ critical thinking, creativity, problem- solving techniques and improves their comfort, well- being and possibly, attitude. In Ghana, the Ministry of Education has set out an inclusive education policy that allows all children to learn regardless of differences in age, gender, ethnicity, language and disability and design educational structures that addresses the needs of all these children. Nevertheless, some researchers are of the view that these literature surveys consider the surroundings of the school system without its effects on teaching and learning.

This study looked into effective integration of management information system (MIS) in secondary
schools in Awka Education Zone in Anambra State. The study was guided by three research questions and two
hypotheses tested at the 0.05 level of significance based on a descriptive survey research approach. The sampling
technique adopted was purposive type in order to focus on a determined specialized number of respondents. The
study’s sample size was 130 secondary school teachers. A researcher-created questionnaire was used to gather the
data. The tool was rigorously evaluated by two experts. When the instrument’s internal consistency was examined
using Cronbach’s alpha, a reliability value of 0.88 was found. A t-test was used to assess the hypotheses after
arithmetic mean and standard deviation scores were used to analyze the data. The findings demonstrated that
the MIS assists the school in managing tests, enrolments, and fees by providing different people with password

The present study was made to investigate the Attitude towards E teaching and its effect on Job Satisfaction among Secondary School Teachers in Coimbatore. The teachers play the most vital and essential role in the development of the whole educational system. There are many qualities, duties and responsibility for teachers to society development. Because without student or man or teacher there was no exists any society. In the other sense educational development means society development also. Teachers have to teach effectively and motivate their students on the field of education. The study concluded as high school students' level of study on Attitude towards E Teaching and its effect on Job Satisfaction among Secondary School Teachers was studied and the findings reveal that there is a significant in Attitude towards E Teaching and its effect on Job Satisfaction among Secondary School Teachers with respect to Type of School and Locality and not with Gender, Locality and Type of Family.

The study involved 2,575 students selected through a combination of probability and non-probability sampling procedures. Explanatory sequential mixed methods design was used. Participants completed the FennemaSherman Mathematics Attitude Scales (FSMAS) to provide the quantitative data for the research. The qualitative data were gathered through interviews. The arithmetic mean from the survey data for each of the students was used to shortlist 140 students for focus group interviews. The findings revealed that some of the impetuses that drive the respondents’ positive attitudes towards mathematics were mathematics as a compulsory subject, good teaching strategies by teachers, the utility of mathematics, career aspirations, and encouragement from parents, guardian or peers. The study recommended that stakeholders should encourage, enhance and promote these factors. Teachers, educators, and researchers are encouraged to dig deeper to unearth more of such factors.Adoption of technology on E-learning effectiveness
The incorporation of E-learning in both private and public tertiary education can help expedite the learning process. The utilization of fast-paced technology with E-learning also allows for a more flexible and convenient learning process. E-learning platforms can be accessed anywhere as long as there is an internet connection, including at home, the workplace, restaurants or while travelling. This allows for the benefit of distance learning. As such, the current study aims to examine the factor effectiveness of E-learning based on three variables, namely technology, instructors’ characteristics and students’ characteristics and their impact on distance learning. The education system has greatly evolved from the use of apparatus such as chalk and blackboards to the modern use of projectors to conduct lessons. In the current age, E-learning will have an effect on both instructors and teaching technology, aside from the students themselves. As an example, students are expected to know how to utilize these systems in their lessons, instructors must receive training in E-learning systems management and in terms of technology, the E-learning systems must be updated and operated using the most recent upgrades. E-learning is also cost-efficient, less time consuming and reduces the burden on both students and educators.

The Smile project is an engineering service-learning initiative carried out through collaboration between Chouaib Doukkali University in Morocco and Pusan National University in South Korea. Since 2016, this project has been conducted annually for engineering students from both universities. Participants are selected through an oral interview, ensuring representation from different majors, years, and genders. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the project transitioned to an online mode starting from 2020. The objective of this article is to investigate the impact of the service-learning approach on learning and its potential for enhancing engineering education. This study aims to compare the face-to-face and online implementations of the Smileproject as examples of this educational approach. The analysis demonstrates a strong positive effect of engineering service-learning as a learning approach, leading to the improvement of engineering students' skills and competencies. Notably, there is minimal difference between the two implementation modes of this learning approach.The "Big Three" Completion Plan

Action Research Proposal in DepEd - Super Draft
This is my somewhat "wasted" action research proposal. I intend to share it here for academic purposes. This is just a draft however and should not be used in citations or referencing. I decided to put it here in this platform finally because I no longer want to engage the pleasures of the higher ups. Otherwise, this will just be a matter of compliance and not love for genuine learning and academic freedom. The whole research and innovation process in DepEd has become too tedious, restrictive, and red-taped. If you write too long, they may want your paper to be concise or shorter and then if you cut it short, they then want it to be much longer. I still cannot see how some people become so obsessed with editing or proofreading nowadays when we don't even have the perfect English in this country and we don't have the same wavelengths to understand each other.

Does self-concept affect mathematics learning achievement?Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn)
Students who study at home certainly affect their self-concept. Their study found that knowledge of distance learning affects the perceived usefulness of this process. This study described self-concept has an influence on learning achievement in mathematics. The type of research used in this study was descriptive quantitative research to determine the relationship between students’ self-concept and learning achievement in mathematics. This research was conducted in class VIII of State Junior High School (SMPN) 1 Palasah, Indonesia with 151 students as respondents. The self-concept data was obtained from a study questionnaire that had previously estimated its validity and reliability. This analysis is used to explain the data in the form of standard deviation, average, and low score. Self-concept is categorized into three categories (high, medium, and low). Self-concept is categorized into two kinds, namely positive self-concept, and negative self-concept. Categorization of self-concept can also be divided into three kinds. A high self-concept is also called a more positive self-concept, a moderate selfconcept is also called a positive self-concept, and a low self-concept is also called a negative self-concept. Therefore, when students have a positive selfconcept, it affects learning achievement positively as students needhaveaves to have a self-concept in learning mathematics.PSU Institutional Sustainability Assessment (ISA) Posters

This study aimed at investigating the effect of digitalisation of instructional process on the effectiveness of state Universities. The study was guided by two objectives which are to investigate the extent to which digitalisation of instructional processes affect the effectiveness of State Universities, and to find out the challenges barriers face in the digitalisation of instructional processes in State Universities. The study was guided by one hypothesis. The survey research design using the convergent mixed method was adopted for the study. A sample of 371 academic staff and 24 administrators were selected for the study using the purposive, convenient and proportionate sampling techniques. Questionnaire and interview guides are the instruments adopted for the study. The reliability of the instrument was measured using the Cronach Alpha test and the coefficient value stood at 0.923. The quantitative data were analysed using SPSS version 25 with the aid of descriptive and inferential statistics while the qualitative data were analysed thematically. The findings showed that the digitalisation of instructional process in State Universities is moderate as indicated with a mean value of 2.78 with the inferential statistics showing that digitalisation of instructional process has a significant and positive relationship with the effectiveness of State Universities R= 0.444 , P= 0.000 0.05 . In support of this, many of the respondents 311 89.9 said the digitalisation of instructional process is relevant in that it will improve on teaching and learning, improve on university effectiveness and efficiency, promote distant learning increasing access, enhance research, limit the spread of covid 19, improves on teacher student relationship, ensure effective management of students, reduce time wastage, ease monitoring and evaluation, reduce physical class size and improve on content coverage. Despite these enormous benefits, the findings also showed that poor internet connection, lack of finance, power failure, inadequate policies, lack of skilled staff, lack of digital tools, lack of knowledge on the use of digital tools, resistance to change, lack of infrastructures and poor decision making are barriers to the digitalisation of instructional process in State Universities. In conclusion, it was observed that there is a positive link between digitalisation of instructional process and the effectiveness of state Universities in Cameroon. Based on this, it was generally recommended state Universities should digitalised their instructional process to enhance the effectiveness of states Universities while also making sure that good internet connection, steady electricity supply and good policies guiding digitalisation of management processes are put in place.

The dominant mode of instructional delivery in Ghanaian Colleges of
Education has been the conventional face-to-face. However, the second
semester of the 2019/2020 academic year teaching had to be done via an
emergency remote online teaching mode due to the novel covid-19
pandemic. In a cross-sectional survey, the online mathematics learning
experienced of 497 students sampled from three Colleges of education in
Ghana were explored using the adapted community of inquiry survey
instrument. It was observed from the study that students’ online mathematics
learning experiences were low. Further observation showed that while class
cohesion and resolution dimensions were absent, teaching presence,
exploration, affective expression, and triggering event dimensions of
students’ online mathematics learning experiences were present.
Additionally, the results showed that the difference in the magnitude of
means in gender was partly dependent on the category of internet use before
the remote online mathematics teaching was observed in the dimension of
lack of class cohesion. Besides, the students were generally indifferent in
their learning experiences regarding genders but significantly in terms of
their internet use before the remote online mathematics teaching. Based on
the results, implications of the state of the college of education (CoE)
students’ online mathematics learning experiences and suggestions for
improvement have been proposed. E learning

Today, voter turnout is one of the crucial signals of how citizens participate in the governance of their country. Higher voter turnout is in most cases a sign of the vitality of democracy, whilst lower turnout is usually associated with voter apathy and mistrust of the political process (Birch, 2010). Voter turnout measures the percentage of voters that have actually taken part in an election; the proportion of eligible voters who actually cast a vote. Votes can be classified into ballot papers which were correctly filled out and those which were incorrectly filled out and therefore counted as invalid. Because of the importance of voter turnout, media and civil society actors, as well as the democracy support community and many other stakeholders are concerned when citizens do not turn out to vote. Such communities are keen to understand the reasons behind low turnouts.
In Ghana, according to all media platforms including Ghana Web, the 2023 District Assembly Elections across the recorded a notably low turnout, with officials expressing concern over the limited number of voters at polling stations. The exercise which was held on Tuesday, December 19th and 21st, 2023 to elect district assembly members and unit committee members for the various constituencies across the country, had few people turning up to vote. The low voter turnout was attributed to a number of factors including lack of civic education, low trust in the local government system, unemployment and also voting on a working day. Poor voter turnout goes out to weaken our democracy and ultimately slow our development as a country. Based on the above concern, it has become very necessary to have a critical study of the impact of unemployment on voter turnout in some selected electoral areas in the Kumasi Metropolis in Ghana.

I write not in my own interest nor the interest of my university of affiliation but I write in the sole interest of all Ghanaian students who are studying hard and trusting God to successfully migrate to the various tertiary institutions. Indeed, Vision is important and its considered as the pillar and bedrock for bringing about innovation in any association. Without appropriate vision, all goes wild. It is the drive way through which institutions can take to reach greater heights. The recommendations have been structured as follows:
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Leaders like to act in the designation of the coming time and not just for the time being (Sashkin et al., 1993). Competition that has arisen among various student groups in the universities in Ghana, the issue of effective policy and its implementation, curriculum change and innovation, the introduction of new programmes that are market driven, among others, are issues that can be solved through visionary leadership and activities. Emerging concerns like bursary allocation for graduate students, skills training, research fund for graduate students, policies on welfare and health, transit from traditional pedagogy to digitized learner- centred pedagogy and the need for e- learning, call for leadership with a long sight (Eddy and VanDerLinden, 2006). The need for visionary leadership and activities arises in such contexts.

The present study was made to investigate the Attitude towards E teaching and its effect on Job Satisfaction among Secondary School Teachers in Coimbatore. The teachers play the most vital and essential role in the development of the whole educational system. There are many qualities, duties and responsibility for teachers to society development. Because without student or man or teacher there was no exists any society. In the other sense educational development means society development also. Teachers have to teach effectively and motivate their students on the field of education. The study concluded as high school students' level of study on Attitude towards E Teaching and its effect on Job Satisfaction among Secondary School Teachers was studied and the findings reveal that there is a significant in Attitude towards E Teaching and its effect on Job Satisfaction among Secondary School Teachers with respect to Type of School and Locality and not with Gender, Locality and Type of Family.

The study involved 2,575 students selected through a combination of probability and non-probability sampling procedures. Explanatory sequential mixed methods design was used. Participants completed the FennemaSherman Mathematics Attitude Scales (FSMAS) to provide the quantitative data for the research. The qualitative data were gathered through interviews. The arithmetic mean from the survey data for each of the students was used to shortlist 140 students for focus group interviews. The findings revealed that some of the impetuses that drive the respondents’ positive attitudes towards mathematics were mathematics as a compulsory subject, good teaching strategies by teachers, the utility of mathematics, career aspirations, and encouragement from parents, guardian or peers. The study recommended that stakeholders should encourage, enhance and promote these factors. Teachers, educators, and researchers are encouraged to dig deeper to unearth more of such factors.Adoption of technology on E-learning effectiveness
The incorporation of E-learning in both private and public tertiary education can help expedite the learning process. The utilization of fast-paced technology with E-learning also allows for a more flexible and convenient learning process. E-learning platforms can be accessed anywhere as long as there is an internet connection, including at home, the workplace, restaurants or while travelling. This allows for the benefit of distance learning. As such, the current study aims to examine the factor effectiveness of E-learning based on three variables, namely technology, instructors’ characteristics and students’ characteristics and their impact on distance learning. The education system has greatly evolved from the use of apparatus such as chalk and blackboards to the modern use of projectors to conduct lessons. In the current age, E-learning will have an effect on both instructors and teaching technology, aside from the students themselves. As an example, students are expected to know how to utilize these systems in their lessons, instructors must receive training in E-learning systems management and in terms of technology, the E-learning systems must be updated and operated using the most recent upgrades. E-learning is also cost-efficient, less time consuming and reduces the burden on both students and educators.

The Smile project is an engineering service-learning initiative carried out through collaboration between Chouaib Doukkali University in Morocco and Pusan National University in South Korea. Since 2016, this project has been conducted annually for engineering students from both universities. Participants are selected through an oral interview, ensuring representation from different majors, years, and genders. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the project transitioned to an online mode starting from 2020. The objective of this article is to investigate the impact of the service-learning approach on learning and its potential for enhancing engineering education. This study aims to compare the face-to-face and online implementations of the Smileproject as examples of this educational approach. The analysis demonstrates a strong positive effect of engineering service-learning as a learning approach, leading to the improvement of engineering students' skills and competencies. Notably, there is minimal difference between the two implementation modes of this learning approach.The "Big Three" Completion Plan

Action Research Proposal in DepEd - Super Draft
This is my somewhat "wasted" action research proposal. I intend to share it here for academic purposes. This is just a draft however and should not be used in citations or referencing. I decided to put it here in this platform finally because I no longer want to engage the pleasures of the higher ups. Otherwise, this will just be a matter of compliance and not love for genuine learning and academic freedom. The whole research and innovation process in DepEd has become too tedious, restrictive, and red-taped. If you write too long, they may want your paper to be concise or shorter and then if you cut it short, they then want it to be much longer. I still cannot see how some people become so obsessed with editing or proofreading nowadays when we don't even have the perfect English in this country and we don't have the same wavelengths to understand each other.

Does self-concept affect mathematics learning achievement?Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn)
Students who study at home certainly affect their self-concept. Their study found that knowledge of distance learning affects the perceived usefulness of this process. This study described self-concept has an influence on learning achievement in mathematics. The type of research used in this study was descriptive quantitative research to determine the relationship between students’ self-concept and learning achievement in mathematics. This research was conducted in class VIII of State Junior High School (SMPN) 1 Palasah, Indonesia with 151 students as respondents. The self-concept data was obtained from a study questionnaire that had previously estimated its validity and reliability. This analysis is used to explain the data in the form of standard deviation, average, and low score. Self-concept is categorized into three categories (high, medium, and low). Self-concept is categorized into two kinds, namely positive self-concept, and negative self-concept. Categorization of self-concept can also be divided into three kinds. A high self-concept is also called a more positive self-concept, a moderate selfconcept is also called a positive self-concept, and a low self-concept is also called a negative self-concept. Therefore, when students have a positive selfconcept, it affects learning achievement positively as students needhaveaves to have a self-concept in learning mathematics.PSU Institutional Sustainability Assessment (ISA) Posters

This study aimed at investigating the effect of digitalisation of instructional process on the effectiveness of state Universities. The study was guided by two objectives which are to investigate the extent to which digitalisation of instructional processes affect the effectiveness of State Universities, and to find out the challenges barriers face in the digitalisation of instructional processes in State Universities. The study was guided by one hypothesis. The survey research design using the convergent mixed method was adopted for the study. A sample of 371 academic staff and 24 administrators were selected for the study using the purposive, convenient and proportionate sampling techniques. Questionnaire and interview guides are the instruments adopted for the study. The reliability of the instrument was measured using the Cronach Alpha test and the coefficient value stood at 0.923. The quantitative data were analysed using SPSS version 25 with the aid of descriptive and inferential statistics while the qualitative data were analysed thematically. The findings showed that the digitalisation of instructional process in State Universities is moderate as indicated with a mean value of 2.78 with the inferential statistics showing that digitalisation of instructional process has a significant and positive relationship with the effectiveness of State Universities R= 0.444 , P= 0.000 0.05 . In support of this, many of the respondents 311 89.9 said the digitalisation of instructional process is relevant in that it will improve on teaching and learning, improve on university effectiveness and efficiency, promote distant learning increasing access, enhance research, limit the spread of covid 19, improves on teacher student relationship, ensure effective management of students, reduce time wastage, ease monitoring and evaluation, reduce physical class size and improve on content coverage. Despite these enormous benefits, the findings also showed that poor internet connection, lack of finance, power failure, inadequate policies, lack of skilled staff, lack of digital tools, lack of knowledge on the use of digital tools, resistance to change, lack of infrastructures and poor decision making are barriers to the digitalisation of instructional process in State Universities. In conclusion, it was observed that there is a positive link between digitalisation of instructional process and the effectiveness of state Universities in Cameroon. Based on this, it was generally recommended state Universities should digitalised their instructional process to enhance the effectiveness of states Universities while also making sure that good internet connection, steady electricity supply and good policies guiding digitalisation of management processes are put in place.

The dominant mode of instructional delivery in Ghanaian Colleges of
Education has been the conventional face-to-face. However, the second
semester of the 2019/2020 academic year teaching had to be done via an
emergency remote online teaching mode due to the novel covid-19
pandemic. In a cross-sectional survey, the online mathematics learning
experienced of 497 students sampled from three Colleges of education in
Ghana were explored using the adapted community of inquiry survey
instrument. It was observed from the study that students’ online mathematics
learning experiences were low. Further observation showed that while class
cohesion and resolution dimensions were absent, teaching presence,
exploration, affective expression, and triggering event dimensions of
students’ online mathematics learning experiences were present.
Additionally, the results showed that the difference in the magnitude of
means in gender was partly dependent on the category of internet use before
the remote online mathematics teaching was observed in the dimension of
lack of class cohesion. Besides, the students were generally indifferent in
their learning experiences regarding genders but significantly in terms of
their internet use before the remote online mathematics teaching. Based on
the results, implications of the state of the college of education (CoE)
students’ online mathematics learning experiences and suggestions for
improvement have been proposed. E learning

A CRITICAL STUDY OF THE IMPACT OF UNEMPLOYMENT ON VOTER TURNOUT IN SOME SELEC...SIR SUCCESS PRINCE DUAH DUAH
Today, voter turnout is one of the crucial signals of how citizens participate in the governance of their country. Higher voter turnout is in most cases a sign of the vitality of democracy, whilst lower turnout is usually associated with voter apathy and mistrust of the political process (Birch, 2010). Voter turnout measures the percentage of voters that have actually taken part in an election; the proportion of eligible voters who actually cast a vote. Votes can be classified into ballot papers which were correctly filled out and those which were incorrectly filled out and therefore counted as invalid. Because of the importance of voter turnout, media and civil society actors, as well as the democracy support community and many other stakeholders are concerned when citizens do not turn out to vote. Such communities are keen to understand the reasons behind low turnouts.
In Ghana, according to all media platforms including Ghana Web, the 2023 District Assembly Elections across the recorded a notably low turnout, with officials expressing concern over the limited number of voters at polling stations. The exercise which was held on Tuesday, December 19th and 21st, 2023 to elect district assembly members and unit committee members for the various constituencies across the country, had few people turning up to vote. The low voter turnout was attributed to a number of factors including lack of civic education, low trust in the local government system, unemployment and also voting on a working day. Poor voter turnout goes out to weaken our democracy and ultimately slow our development as a country. Based on the above concern, it has become very necessary to have a critical study of the impact of unemployment on voter turnout in some selected electoral areas in the Kumasi Metropolis in Ghana.

IT IS TIME TO PLEDGE FOR A SUSTAINBLE HEALTHY PLANET
Today, Friday, 1st December 2023, I write as the Founder and Director of Sustainable and Inclusive Green Africa to add my voice to the voices of heroes and heroines of our planet who have converged at United Arab Emirates for the Conference of the Parties 28 to achieve a sustainable healthy planet.
First, I would like to congratulate H.E. Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, President for COP28 UAE, the UNFCCC Executive Secretary alongside the UN Climate Change High-Level Champion, H. E. Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, leadership of various continents and countries and all other stakeholders for making this historical conference possible. It is certainly the meeting of heroes and heroines of our generation who believe that together we can save our planet and the future of the next generation will not be sabotaged and stagnated by the negative impact of climate change.
I believe it is time for the world to pledge; pledge to come together to drastically reduce global warming; pledge to decentralize the combat process for the International, local, national, regional, communities and individuals to effectively participate in our quest to save the planet; pledge to adhere to strategic actions in limiting global warming to 1.5°C; pledge to improve the capacities of developing or vulnerable countries by strengthening their climate change initiatives; pledge to encourage multi- sectoral collaboration on issues related to climate change; pledge to share best practices and metrics between stakeholders.
Ladies and Gentlemen, and Leaders of our world, I was happy with the statement made by Ursula Van der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, “I will push for keeping 1.5°C within reach… Europe is fully doing its part and ready to show the way.”. Certainly, Europe is fully doing its part as well as Africa, Asia, North America, Antarctica, South America and Oceania. The world must understand that it is only in shared unity that we can address the many challenges of climate change. We all need to come together and fully participate in achieving 1.5°C in global warming, phasing out fossil fuels, boosting renewable energy and energy efficiency, increase climate finance and strategies for vulnerable communities and countries to adapt to change. It’s a pledge for shared unity and full participation from all unions, associations and countries.
IT’S A PLEDGE FOR POSSIBILITY to make life better for children, the youth and the aged and for the next generation and we can certainly do it. ITS TIME TO PLEDGE FOR SUSTAINABLE HEALTHY PLANET

Today, 1st December 2023, I would like to add my voice to the millions of Ghanaians across the nations in congratulating our hardworking, dedicated and resilient farmers for the significant role they play in the development of our beloved nation, Ghana.
Agricultural development has enormous benefits including food security or supporting livelihoods through food, habitat; the creation of employment; the generation of foreign exchange earnings; provision of raw materials; building strong economies through trade. According to Analysis from the World Bank, agriculture can help decrease poverty for 75% of the world's poor, who live in rural areas and work mainly in farming. This certainly suggests that the government and stakeholders should pay critical attention to agriculture and its value chain in boosting the livelihood of the rural poor, reducing climate effects and promoting food security.
To the extremely hardworking and resilient farmers, we say, “AYEKOO”

Today, Saturday, 25th November 2023, I officially write to congratulate the Parliament of Ghana for its thirty (30) years of continuous parliamentary democracy and promotion of sustainable peace and security across the various regions in the country. It is a fact that Parliament has advanced as we have seen so many changes from passing of many important bills including the Right to Information Act, National Identification Authority Act to increment in the number of Parliamentary seats to the current Rt. Hon. Speaker of Parliament not having any connection with the ruling political party and a whooping forty (40) out of the total Membership of the Main House of Parliament are women, just to mention a few. We are happy that the Parliament of Ghana has made significant progress as it was adjudged the Best Open Parliament in Africa for the year 2022 by the Open Parliament Index. So we have made progress as a country with regards to our Legislation, nevertheless there is still more to do.
We preach true democracy everywhere as a country and it is good. Nevertheless, democracy without the active involvement of half of its population is not democracy. So, in moving forward towards the attainment of true democracy, we need to deliberately advance the course of women and the vulnerable in politics, peace and security.
With all due respect, I would like the Parliament of Ghana to use its noble platform to advance the course of women in politics and security. Studies have shown that full participation of women in democracy leads to sustainable peace and security. The Parliament of Ghana in its next phase must come out with policies, programs and strategies to remove the main obstacles women face when entering into politics. Though, its difficult but it can be achieved so let’s start today.
In my constituency, Nhyiaeso Constituency and all across Ghana, we have very few heroic women who are aspiring either as Assembly Members or Unit Committee Members in the forth coming District Assembly Elections 2024. This is largely due to structural, socioeconomic, institutional and cultural barriers, and as a result, many women feel that they do not fit the mold of a leader, and therefore are not confident in pursuing leadership roles. The Legislative Arm of Government upon consultation with experts can set a benchmark for the representation of women in governmental institutions in order to promote full equitable participation and also create and maintain a strong and vibrant democracy in the country.
The truth is that, when women are empowered as political leaders, countries experience high living standards and positive progress in education, infrastructure and health, and this singularly promotes gender equity and strengthen our democracy. Ghana must certainly move forward but we must all come together and be intentional about the decisions of today so as to be assured of a brighter tomorrow.

CONSTRUCTIVE ARGUMENT AND NEITHER NOT RELIGION NOR ETHNICITY- GHANA TODAY- SU...SIR SUCCESS PRINCE DUAH DUAH
Today, 13th November 2023, I write in the interest of all citizens and our beloved nation Ghana, as the Referee in the Ghanaian Political space to bring peace, unity and tolerance and sensitize the political arena and throughout media with good practices. True democracy ensures full participation of all citizens without entertaining any dominance nor minority; true democracy stands to respect and give a voice to all citizens irrespective of their religion or ethnic background.
After the election of the flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party, I realized throughout last week that people were engaging in baseless, needless and unpatriotic argument with regards to H. E. Bawumia’s ability to win the Presidency as a Muslim. I have been waiting for such individuals to end the conversation, and since they are not, I decided to whistle for foul against such unpatriotic, needless and unprogressive conversations. Listen, Politics should be based on constructive argument, void of abusive words and geared towards the progress of all citizens.
Have we forgotten, Great Ghanaian People? Have we forgotten how such unbridled conversation have destroyed the hope and aspiration of many nations? Have we forgotten how unpatriotic religious and ethnic discourse have trashed the dreams of many citizens in Balkans, Chechnya, Iraq, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Darfur, as well as in certain parts of Nigeria. Do I need to educate you? Some empirical studies have shown that thousands of Nigerians have been left dead, wounded and homeless over the years due to constant religious strife pitting people of different religions against each other (Okpanachi 2010); Is this what we want? I believe its absolutely no for any normal Ghanaian citizen.
As the Referee in the Ghanaian political space, I would like to offer relevant vision pathways to both National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Now, I realized from my 10 hours research on Saturday, 11th November 2023 that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has one of the best Internationally accepted themes for Election 2024. Unfortunately, they are not talking about it. What is this theme? THE FUTURE WE WANT. THE FUTURE WE WANT was first adopted during the RIO +20 Conference which acknowledged the need to transition to a Sustainable and Inclusive Green Economy. The Sustainable and Inclusive Green Economy concept can be seen as a tool to implement sustainable development in which the environment-economy equation is solved through a focus on new opportunities. THE FUTURE WE WANT as a theme, coiled from Sustainable Inclusive Green Economy comes with a lot of opportunities including low carbon, efficient and clean in production, but also inclusive in consumption and outcomes, based on sharing, circularity, collaboration, solidarity, resilience, opportunity and interdependence. Gladly, all markets globally are shifting towards environmentally friendly goods and services. AKOSOMBO DAM SPILLAGE- APOLOGISE AND SUPPORT THE AFFECTED INDIVIDUALS- PRINCE...

We are at a point where people have been displaced and have almost lost everything including shelter, clothing, food, family and heritage and almost everything that makes them unique. This is where we are and the Volta River Authority (VRA), instead of rendering an apology to those affected, is still insisting that we inform them. Please, VRA, if your planning and sensitization were good enough, we wouldn’t have gotten here. So I would like to assist the VRA with some measures to add it to their solution plate to serve all the good affected individuals of the Lower Volta environs.
The first step for the VRA to undertake is to APOLOGISE TO THOSE AFFECTED. Sincerely, the VRA may have planned but it didn’t go as expected so you apologize. Apologizing shows that you are honest, respect the affected people’s feelings and gives you some level of integrity. This should be live on air and also written and published so as to counter all the news circulating on the media.
Moreover, the VRA and the government of Ghana together with all other stakeholders including Members of Parliament in those affected areas must collaborate and come up with pragmatic short timely measures in salvaging the situation. Listen, they are first humans, and then Ghanaians who are brothers and sisters and cannot be left to live in those places so lets act quickly. If it were you, what would you have done? And lets not forget that children, youth, the aged and the vulnerable are all involved in this predicament. So lets work together and save the situation.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT YES WE CAN, IF WE PUT ASIDE PARTISAN AND FOCUS ON CITIZENSHIP AS GHANAIANS

Today, 7th November 2023, I write as a citizen with so much love to see the children, youth, aged and all that concerns my beloved nation Ghana prosper and thrive as a well- decorated peaceful and united democratic nation. I want to forever see the children of this land have access to quality education and laugh and live happily without any form of restriction on their rights; the youth empowered in their minds and hands with true education to be able to work diligently towards the country’s growth; and certainly, want to see the aged walk on the streets of Ghana without having to turn corners for their safety. True Democracy according to its original meaning invests power in the people (citizens) and not in an individual or group.
I have seen billboards erected across Ghana and all through social media that stands against the democracy and the safety of our people. It stands against our peace, and love and intends to fight against our shared value of unity. The group call itself #TheNewForce and it obviously want a space in our democratic political space. They would not be entertained at any place in Ghana. A leader in mask is an unknown leader with a hidden vision and therefore wouldn’t be allowed into our political space.
Moreover, what the people want is love and affection and a leader who will stand for their safety and progress and ensure true democratic living and not force. If they come by force, they will force us to hand over our peace, love and unity and that which makes us one people.
I hold a Certificate in Elections and Campaigning and also hold Certificate in Countering Disinformation and this stands to corrupt our democracy as psychologically is making the good people of my beloved nation Ghana wonder what is coming and behind this force. There is therefore no force anywhere except the government of the Republic of Ghana, led by H. E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo- Addo together with all our democratic ministries, agencies, private sector, parties and good citizens. No other force is accepted except the one that respect our government and the good people of Ghana and wouldn’t hinder our children and the future of this country. I therefore call this #NewForce to show their faces and tell us tangible reasons and stop intimidating the Good People of Ghana with their scary billboards. We are here to protect the nation, day and night and wouldn’t allow for anything that violates true democracy and human rights.
May God bless our nation, Ghana and make it Great and Strong. Thank you

The ruling New Patriotic Party is set to have its presidential primaries on Saturday, November 4, 2024, and the spread of information is very crucial in determining the credibility and authenticity of the elections. Truthfully, information is the oxygen of a democracy and therefore, good quality information is vital in sustaining our democracy.
Its #PeaceOverEverything and #GhanaFirst on November 4 as I write to inform all Electoral Officers, Journalists, Media Houses, Party Officials and individuals to spread trustworthy information. Let's safeguard our beloved nation by spreading peace, unity, love, tolerance, respect for authority, non-violence and shared growth.
A 2021 Analysis found that every minute of the day people around the globe sent 2 million Snapchat messages, watched 167 million videos on TikTok and streamed almost 700 000 hours of content on Youtube. And realistically, most of these are intended to disinform and misinform the public and can result in violence or citizens unrest.
As the NPP heads towards its Presidential Primaries, I urge all stakeholders especially Electoral Officers, Journalists and Media Houses to desist from false, incomplete, bad quality, out of context, hate speech, conspiracy theories and any other form of bad information.

HMAC SHA 256- PROPOSED AUTHENTICATION ALGORITHM-PRINCE DUAH MENSAH-MPhil IT (...SIR SUCCESS PRINCE DUAH DUAH
Conventional authentication methods, like simple text- based passwords, have shown vulnerabilities to different types of security attacks. Most of all the breaches involve credentials, whether stolen via social engineering or hacked using brute force. Therefore, a robust user authentication mechanism is crucial to have secure systems. Combining the use of a hash function, SHA 256 and a secret key. HMAC approach can be effective strategy for data origin authentication and integrity verification mechanisms. This article proposes a Hash- based Message Authentication Code and Secure Hash Algorithm 256, with the acronym HMAC SHA 256 to solve the deficiencies in Message Digest Method 5 including the traditional username- password authentication. HMAC SHA 256 can be applied to verification of email, authenticate data form, Internet of Things (IoT) and reset password. The novelty of the proposed mechanism lies in a Trust Based System which identifies the malicious nodes in the network and differentiates them from trusted nodes. The trust value of the participating nodes is increased only for every successful transmission and decreased for those nodes that do not send the data towards the desired destination. Using Java programming language, HTML, CSS and Python, the proposed authentication protocol was analysed to determine its efficiency and effectiveness. The study found that HMAC SHA 256 is ideal for higher performance systems and provides higher security as compared to MD 5. The study also revealed that HMAC SHA 265 has a strong collision resistance to attacks and its therefore recommended for encryption and solving the deficiencies in MD 5.More from SIR SUCCESS PRINCE DUAH DUAH (20)

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

EXAMINING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF RESEARCH AND MENTORING PROGRAM ON THE PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS AND FACULTY MEMBERS IN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN GHANA Prince Duah Mensah, Yarhands Arthur Dissou, George Asante Department of Information Technology, Akenten Appiah- Menka University of Skill Training and Entrepreneurial Development, Kumasi 1277, Ashanti, Ghana. Email address: successprinceduahmensah@gmail.com Phone No.: +233 (0) 533577389 Abstract The impact of research and mentorship in a fast- paced digitized world on institutions of higher education, communities and nations have been remarkable. Evidence- based research and mentorship have been associated with enhanced science identity, productivity, recruitment and career satisfaction and self- efficacy of individuals and institutions and helps us to better understand the evolving community needs. In the last quinquennial, research and mentorship have grown in importance as it seeks to build individual’s and institution’s confidence, improves communication, critical thinking and problem- solving skills. However, the issue of inadequate documentation, inconsistent methodological practices, varied definitions for the same topic coupled with the risk of being bias, time consuming and cost- involving makes it difficult to quantify its influence on individuals, institutions and communities. The study therefore examines the effectiveness of research and mentorship on the performance of students and faculty members in institutions of higher education in Ghana. A survey questionnaire was distributed randomly to a total of 1000 students, faculty members and industry players at the Akenten Appiah- Menka University of Skill Training and Entrepreneurial Development in Kumasi. The data for this mixed research method were analysed quantitatively using IBM SPSS software (version 23) and qualitatively using the responses from respondents through an inductive and deductive process. The outcome indicates that research and mentorship promotes productivity and enhances self- efficacy and career satisfaction. The result also shows that research and mentorship have a great effectiveness on the performance of students and faculty members in institutions of higher education in Ghana. For further studies, there is the need to consider the effects of school- based mentoring on the academic performance of students in Senior High Schools. Keywords: Research, Mentorship, Institutions of Higher Education
