The Second World War that took place from 1939 to 1945 involved the people of British West Africa who fought on the side of their colonial masters, the British. However a positive change in British colonial policy engendered the set up of Asquith and Elliot Commissions that favoured the establishment of institutions of higher education in some of the colonies in the post-war years. In this regard, the war was a catalyst to the emergence of university colleges in Gold Coast (now Ghana) and Ibadan in Nigeria. The British Labour Party government’s welfare scheme for the colonies and nationalists demand for higher education were also factors that made university colleges to develop and they were affiliated to the University of London. They maintained a high standard quality of education. Data for this discourse were generated from secondary sources.

This study aims to examine the relationship of school environment with the participation of students in extra-curricular activities in schools in the State of Johor. This quantitative research using survey method through a questionnaire. A total of 225 teachers Advisor co-curricular activities were randomly selected from 21 schools. Survey instruments used in this study may be modified based on the "School-Level Environment Questionnaire" to assess the school environment and the "National Survey of Student Engagement 2011" to measure student involvement in extra-curricular activities. Correlation analysis shows there is a significant relationship (r = 0.294, p = 0.00) between the school environment with the participation of students in extra-curricular activities. The findings indicate that the school environment is a significant factor in improving student involvement in extra-curricular activities.

This study was to analyze the content of the news reported in network Press TV. It studied the reflection of political events in this network. The research was performed for highlighting and emphasizing the political functions of the media and political communication using content analysis. The choice of network news, news related to political events that represent the policy of the media network, is taken into consideration. The study samples included news about the political events in Press TV network. In this study, 141 reports were selected for content analysis in terms of indicators such as induced bias or impartiality, the value of news, news items, and other news sources were evaluated. According to the results, most of the news, with only one-sided and agreeing point of view in covering news related to Iran, reflected in a few cases. The viewpoints were one-sided in favor, and opposite views were covered too. Merely the reflection of the agreeing views will manifest the orientation of the news and shows the network as biased. Thus, it is suggested to avoid declining opposite views and to cover them in a proffessional way. This will not only make audience rely more on the news, but also will help the reports to be more effective and thus, it will be easier for the audience to accept the main theme of the network.

Entrepreneurship development is increasingly becoming important in economic growth in many countries. The majority of workers in the developing World cluster in small and micro enterprises in the private sectors. They may be on account workers in services or employees in small and medium-sized firms in manufacturing. Entrepreneurship and investment influences the rate and linkages, which develop in an economy, the labor demanded and the human capital investment required meeting these labor demands. Rapid growth can contribute to poverty reduction. Although there are variations across countries, social norms strongly influence men’s and women’s work and working environments. Some tasks and jobs are considered more appropriate for men or women and covert screening filters out applicants who defy these norms. These gender norms frequently underpin sex-segmented labor markets typically confine women workers to low-wage, low productivity employment and can limit the responsiveness of labor to new demands for high skilled workers. Sluggish labor markets can impede adjustment, distort human capital investment and inhibit a firm’s ability to switch to new activities and compete in a dynamics and globalizing market. Development occurs within an institutional and economics environment that is similarly shaped by customers, social norms, implicit and explicit codes and conduct. The study sought to establish the impact of gender on micro-enterprises performance. The main objective was to establish the differences in the constraint facing female and male owned micro-enterprises respectively in Nandi County in Kenya. Data from a survey of 180 micro-enterprises were used in the modified ordinary least square (OLS).

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) serves as one of the most effective assessment tools to evaluate candidates’ overall English language proficiency being highly accepted by organizations and educational systems. Given that reading skills is believed to be a crucial skill for academic attainment (Cochran, 1993), test takers’ attitudes on reading for such an internationally recognized test and its relationship with their reading proficiency have been rarely explored. The present study was an attempt to investigate the attitudes of candidates towards IELTS test and its impact on their reading performance. To this end, 149 Participants (76 male and 73 female) were given a standardized attitude questionnaire (Rasti, 2009) to investigate the participants’ attitudes. The questionnaire was followed by two tests: A reading proficiency and a vocabulary test. The participants were also required to take a mock standard IELTS Academic Reading test to integrate statistical information. The results revealed that there is a significant positive correlation between the test takers’ attitudes towards the IELTS test and their reading performance. Additionally, there is a significant positive correlation between attitudes in general and reading proficiency and vocabulary knowledge. The findings consistent with other research (e.g., Chemutai, 2015; Hosseini, Hosseini, & Roudbari, 2013; Malallaha, 2000; Petrides, 2006) suggest that attitude should be considered as a key element through the processes of reading acquisition which may lead to better performance in proficiency tests. Key Words: attitude, proficiency, reading comprehension

In the world wide network, there are several websites, in which each and every system has to be protected securely. The DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) make DNS the first core Internet system to be protected using public key cryptography. The DNSSEC not only protects the DNS, but has created interest in using this secured global database .There are several websites which are protected using different security schemes and are made less prone to the intruder .To save the data from misused, the admin control are also needs to be protected from viewing the public data. And to enforce these techniques, we need to fully encrypt the data and the database from viewing the actual data and transform into unusual data .Therefore, the data has been hided and protected from general view. In this paper, I propose to achieve a new theoretical model, called Public Data, which is robust and free from verification deployments as Communities of Trust (CoTs) by which it makes them secure . A reasonable DNSSEC deployment model and a typical choice of a CoT, has been properly implemented to protect the full data access for the general view of the user. Our limited deployment of Vantages has outperformed the verifiability of DNSSEC and has properly validated .Then the various adversary would be able to Man-in-middle attacks on arbitrary traffic into autonomous systems. Then the whole database and the backend process are encrypted and are in non-viewable formats.
