However, it was not certain whether self-concept would decline or improve as individuals age, or whether selfconcept would vary between genders and ethnic groups. To prove, a study was carried out to compare the self-concept of college students in an Asian context. The inquiry utilized the crosssectional design in finding out significant differences in the self-concept of participants in terms of age, gender, and ethnicity. A 22-item questionnaire was adapted and administered to 222 Bachelor of Public Administration and Bachelor of Science in Business Administration students from the satellite campus of Bukidnon State University in the Philippines. Initially, a sample was randomly drawn from the population. During the actual data collection, the researchers had difficulty getting the responses from the randomly selected individuals due to internet connection and it was done amidst a pandemic. Instead, it took all responses from those who were available, have access to the internet, and could accomplish the google forms. The data were analyzed using Mean, Standard Deviation, T-test for independent sample, ANOVA and Post Hoc test. The results revealed that college students at the locale have a high level of self-concept in selffulfilment, emotional adjustment, and honesty. Yet, they only had a moderate level of selfconcept in autonomy. Further, there were significant differences in college students' autonomy and honesty in terms of age and gender. Furthermore, there were significant differences in their emotional adjustment and self-fulfilment as to their ethnicity. The results have implications for instruction, administration, guidance services, and future research.
The Afro-Arab unique hybrid architecture in search for a socio-cultural unification symbolism in the Sudan, 2022

Thousands articles cover prominent Pan-African, Afrocentric and Africology theorists and writers who have transparent, bold, and brave advocatory writings uncovering African architecture significance and values including articles of the Sudan's architecture. The two Pan-African, Afrocentric and Africology theorists and writers who later become Americans; the Kenyan American Ali Mazrui and the Nigerian American Nnamdi Elleh are the most renowned. For the purpose of this research only Public and Governmental Buildings will be taken into consideration as they constitute most of the buildings built for the use of the communities. Evidences for the constructions of the Sudan in form of Public and Governmental Buildings appear in the ancient Kushites mainly as monumental buildings in form of shrines as temples, sanctuaries and burial places as cemeteries and pyramids until the Christian kingdoms who had Cathedrals and Churches as Public and Governmental Buildings. The Mahdist State and the Anglo-Turkish rule of the Sudan had some of their Public and Governmental Buildings in form of Mosques and burial places as the mausoleums (Qubbas). Vernacular architecture in the Sudan, an architecture that characterizes a place by giving it a specific social identity or a sense of belonging and a sense of place reflecting the environmental, cultural and historical context in which it exists. This kind of architecture reflects Ethnicity, Tribalism and Territory, therefore, there is a necessity in the search for an architecture that boosts resolving these socio-cultural problems. Soci-culturally communities all over the world faced with the challenges of the prevailing notions of globalization and Critical Theory that rejects ideology. In the midst of all these challenges of contemporary architecture dominantly adopted in these recent years, the Sudan, thefore, should not be an exception. The objective of this research is to necessarily call for the production of Public and Governmental diversified buildings to boost resolving social problems by adopting Contemporary architecture most precisely Critical Regionalism architecture movement, with other Contemporary architecture movements. The architecture of power and sovereignty such as Public and Governmental buildings could so much assist in reflecting social coherence and unification the Sudanese people should derelict the inferiority feeling in Ethnicity, Tribalism and Territorialism many Sudanese people suffer as a result of producing Public and Governmental in styles other than Critical Regionalism and the like that. Buildings in styles other than Critical Regionalism styles and the like makes people have inferiority feeling for their socio-cultural values in contrary to acquiring unity and coherence feeling. The majority of Sudanese people being of African origin with a good number of Afro-Arabs of different Ethnicity groups, various Tribes and many Territories will not easily come to a consensus in regards to an agreed upon building style that satisfies their socio-cultural differences.

Library and information institutions are active participants in the information process. In this process, the question of the reliability of information is more important than ever. Our sociological surveys and analysis of the results, conducted with the aim of forming students' habits of searching for information, show that the solution to the problem is not expressed in a "meaningful response." If the lack of a mass reading habit among young people, or rather its lack of formation, leads to social problems, then, on the other hand, we live in a time when the need for reading among young people is growing rapidly, and it cannot be argued that young people read less. Therefore, to determine the social architecture of information processes, it is necessary to ensure the development of a specific model of information reliability. It is important to provide young consumers of information who are prone to ready-made answers with methodological knowledge about the reliability of information.

The aim of the study was to establish a sound understanding of co-postgraduate promotion and supervision at one Faculty at the University of Technology in South Africa. Co-postgraduate student supervision implies more than one supervisor, at times two and in rare cases three. This multifaceted supervision approach is referred to as a safety net. On the one hand, co-postgraduate students' supervision could be framed as multi-voiced dialogue process with the aim to enhance the quality of research done by the postgraduate student. At times, this approach is said to bring along a negative dimension for the student and supervisors. A qualitative research case study using an interpretivist approach was used. For both the promoters/supervisors and postgraduate students, an open-ended questionnaire was used. A thematic data analysis was used. The findings of this study both from the students and supervisors' experiences unearthed an understanding that underpins past and present practices of co-post-graduate supervision for future practices.

Life is fraught with challenges and teachers are no exception. Teachers face various workplace challenges and some of these challenges may be the mundane occurrences of everyday life, while others may seem insurmountable.

The major elements of workplace adversity in teaching are negative and dissatisfactory working conditions, the work environment and the ...

Many of these policies state that in the event of a female learner falling pregnant, the said learner will be suspended from the school. The application of these policies has been challenged in the courts of law either by the parents of the learners or the Department of Basic Education in South Africa. The study used a qualitative research approach to explore the perceptions of Life Orientation teachers with regards to learner pregnancy policies and their efficiency. A purposive sample of nine Life Orientation teachers was chosen, and a focus group was used to collect data from the respondents. There were five female and four male teachers in total who participated in the study. Their age ranged from 27 to 52 years with an average teaching experience of 15.3 years. The study showed that despite the legislation stating that schools should be supportive of the needs of the pregnant learners at ...
