Head teacher is a vital part of any school. A school works as an organization in which Head teacher, teachers and students play their role for its effective performance. Head teacher is responsible for designing the whole framework of school and implementing the educational plan to achieve the set goals. Head teacher and teacher relationship is an effective part of school administration. It does affect the effectiveness of school management and its performance. In this way, it also affects the results of the institutions. The good performance of school shows how much effective Head teacher and teacher relationship exists in school. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, a five-point scale was developed. It consisted of twenty-five statements for Head teachers as well as teachers of secondary schools. For each statement in the questionnaire, five options were given which were strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree and strongly agree. The respondents were asked to tick the one option among the given five according to their free will. The questionnaire was validated and pilot tested. The questionnaire was administered to the sample and responses were collected. The data collected through questionnaire was tabulated, analyzed and interpreted. The results of the study show that different school’s head teachers adopt different type of strategies in the same situation but their main aim is to run the system of school smoothly. They effectively play their role in motivating and facilitating the teachers for effective functioning of school.

It is now evidently clear that with the emergence of social network and advanced technological messaging functionalities, students in Njala University Department of Physics and Computer Science are more likely to rely on WhatsApp messenger application for their day-to-day communications than any other social networking sites (SNSs). Because of some of the advantages WhatsApp messenger has like cost efficiency, effective, quick and easier mode of communication, confidential, and convenient usage are some of the major factors which might influence their decision to use it. Thus, the objective of the study was to investigate the impact of WhatsApp messenger on the academic performance of students in tertiary institutions (A study of Njala University Department of Physics and Computer Science, School of Technology) in 2014/2015 academic year. Both primary data and secondary data were used. A structured questionnaire was employed to collect data from a sample of 50 students in five different programs within the School of Technology in which 40% were male and 60% were female. The study revealed that majority of respondents used WhatsApp messenger for making friends and chatting. In addition, a majority of respondents experienced negative effects such as poor grammar and spelling, less study time and poor academic performance due to the heavy participation on social media networks. Furthermore, there was a high addiction rate among students in the usage of social media networks especially WhatsApp messenger. Nevertheless, there were cases where others experienced improvement in their readings skills as a result of participation on social media networks. Also, respondents shared ideas, discussed and shared examination questions among themselves on WhatsApp messenger. The study recommended the stringent enforcement of the administration of Njala University rule on electronic device usage in schools, promotion of social media usage for academic purpose, counseling for addicted students and the use of the right grammar and spelling when participating on social networks.

Indigenous knowledge is otherwise known as African science and knowledge. It was conceived, born, processed, disseminated but preserved through natural inheritance from succeeding generations without written document. This study was done to discover the various indigenous knowledge jobs available, the employment status, the challenges they encounter and suggest what government can do to help. Out of four hundred and fifty (450) copies of questionnaire that were distributed, four hundred and eighteen (418) copies (92.9%) were returned with usable responses, while thirty two (32) copies (7.1%) were not returned. Descriptive statistical method was applied for the study, Questionnaire, and observations were the research instruments used for data gathering. Data were analysed using the use of frequency counts and percentages method. Findings revealed that indigenous knowledge is the pivot of Nigerian economy. If indigenous knowledge is better funded by the three tiers of Nigerian government, it is capable of reducing unemployment syndrome that besieged the country. The various levels of government should intensify efforts to improve the adult literacy programme, public orientation and enlightenment, accreditation of indigenous knowledge practitioners, grant interest free loans and establish more indigenous knowledge skill acquisition centres nationwide.

Intellectual property insurance is a contract that covers occurred risks to intellectual entities inducing damage to their owners and users or the third person and compensates those damages. Now, since the subject of this secure coverage is different from other kinds of commercial insurances, it is essential to formulate and analyze elements of intellectual property insurance contract. Now, according to the fact that this is a new kind of insurance policy particularly if it is to cover all risks of intellectual property, it seems that identifying elements of this kind of insurance policy and investigating its certain related problems is of significance importance and interest considering the specific nature of intellectual creations and different concept of risk in the insurable interest. In this paper, these issues have been put under investigation. Key words: risk (sinister), insurable interest, offensive insurance, defensive insurance.

The Kinetics of oxidation of ethyl 2-chloropropionate was carried out with oxidising agent KMnO4 in acidic medium the reaction was found in first order with respectto the concentration of substrate and its pseudo first order with respect to concentration of oxidant. Temperature also affect the rate of reaction as the temperature increase rate of reaction increase as well as concentration of acid affect the rate of reaction as the concentration of acid increases rate of reaction also increases and the study of mechanism show the formation of compound weather it is slow or fast.

This study is to know the levels of temperature and electrical conductivity of Groundwater. Temperature increase was recently considered as a serious water pollutant. The known sources that modestly increase the temperature of groundwater are municipal wastes, industrial effluents and biochemical activities. Electrical conductivity which is the ability of water to conduct electricity is also related to the concentration of ionized substance in water. The ions that have major influence on the conductivity of groundwater are H⁺, Na⁺, Mg^2+. Ca^2+., Cl.^-. SO₄^2-.  Samples of borehole water were collected around Sapele L.G.A and were analytically assessed to ascertain the physicochemical characteristics. Results obtained shows that Temperature range between 14^oC – 30^oC and electrical conductivity range of 23.00 – 400.00 us/cm and were found to be within the world health organization (WHO) desirable and maximum levels.
