https://bjmas.org/index.php/bjmas/article/view/1279
<p><em>The phenomenon of interaction between material substances is the basis of the natural evolution of all things. The interaction of matter occurs through contacts that physics has identified in electromagnetic, gravitational or other nature waves. Electromagnetic waves in particular have a dual corpuscular wave nature, one and the other are like two sides of the same coin, inextricably linked. The origin of the universe in space-time, according to quantum mechanics, is synchronous with the origin of the wave-particles themselves, but it does not reveal to us how they were generated. We must necessarily argue that at the very moment of the birth of electromagnetic waves, space-time also assumed a knowable dimension. This article investigates the evolution of the universe as an epiphenomenon of the mass-energy interaction of matter through the waves generated by it in cosmic space-time. In this investigation I let myself be carried by those same waves that move everything, in the hope that sooner or later they will illuminate my vision of the world.</em></p> <p><strong> </strong></p>Bruno Riccardi

https://bjmas.org/index.php/bjmas/article/view/1276
<p><em>The deterioration of the environment, alterations in climate, and the decline of biodiversity have prompted significant global apprehensions, particularly highlighted by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Specifically, SDG 14 (Life Below Water) and SDG 15 (Life on Land) underscore the imperative to safeguard both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Within Christian theology, stewardship is perceived as a divine obligation, wherein humanity is charged with the responsibility of nurturing and conserving God’s creation. Nevertheless, human actions persist in damaging natural resources, thereby jeopardizing sustainability and contravening scriptural tenets of care and justice. This research seeks to investigate the concept of Christian stewardship regarding divinely entrusted natural resources through a biblical lens, assessing the congruence of this theological framework with the objectives of Sustainable Development Goals 14 and 15, which emphasize sustainability and environmental accountability. The methodology employed includes a qualitative and theological approach, featuring Scriptural Exegesis of significant biblical passages (such as Genesis 1:26–30 and Psalm 24:1) to derive theological tenets of stewardship, a Literature Review of Christian environmental ethics alongside sustainable development frameworks, and a Comparative Analysis of biblical stewardship doctrines in relation to the targets set forth by SDGs 14 and 15. The research revealed a significant theological foundation for environmental stewardship within Christian teachings. The concept of biblical stewardship extends beyond mere dominion; it encompasses responsible guardianship, accountability, and sustainability. This perspective aligns closely with the objectives of Sustainable Development Goals 14 and 15, particularly in fostering biodiversity, minimizing pollution, and safeguarding habitats. Additionally, numerous faith-based organizations are already engaged in conservation efforts motivated by their religious beliefs. In conclusion, Christian stewardship offers a moral and spiritual framework that enhances scientific and policy-oriented strategies for sustainable development. The biblical imperative to care for creation resonates with fundamental values shared by the SDGs, including justice, sustainability, and intergenerational responsibility. It is recommended that faith communities increase their participation in environmental advocacy and education. Churches should incorporate environmental stewardship into their teachings and practices. Furthermore, collaborations among religious organizations, governmental bodies, and NGOs should be strengthened to promote the advancement of SDGs 14 and 15. Future research should investigate the effects of faith-based environmental initiatives on both local and global sustainability outcomes.</em></p>Olusegun James Adigun

https://bjmas.org/index.php/bjmas/article/view/1291
<p><em>This study examined the generational digital divide in Nigerian workplaces, focusing on how differences in digital literacy impact communication, collaboration, and overall productivity. Grounded in Generational Cohort Theory and Human Capital Theory, the research explored the unique challenges faced by different generational groups and how their varying experiences with technology shape workplace dynamics. A descriptive survey design was employed, gathering data from 283 respondents across different industries. Findings revealed while most employees are comfortable with digital tools, generational differences create significant communication barriers in the workplace. Results also indicated that older employees face challenges such as fear of making mistakes, insufficient training, and workplace cultures that favour younger, tech-savvy workers. Respondents sampled for this study emphasized that strategies such as regular digital skills training, mentorship programs pairing younger and older employees, and fostering an inclusive, learning-oriented culture are essential for bridging the generational gap in the digital age. The study concluded that sustained investment in cross-generational training, empathetic leadership, and accessible technology is vital to enhancing workplace cohesion and productivity in Nigeria’s evolving digital landscape.</em></p>Nduneche Ezurike

https://bjmas.org/index.php/bjmas/article/view/1285
<p><em>There is a consensus among the scholars that a well-motivated and improves workforce is a panacea to effective and efficient productivity to achieve the organizational objective. This study examines the nexus between human capital development, good governance and effective service delivery in local government system in Nigeria with a particular reference to Ekiti State. The paper adopts theoretical analysis to explain the functional area and justify the existence of local government in Nigeria. The study relied mainly on secondary data backed by practical observation and analytical framework. The central argument is that human capital challenges and lack of financial and administrative autonomy has being the bane of inefficiency at the local government system in Nigeria The paper reveals that lack of quality personnel hindered the effective performance of local government in Nigeria. Equally, the process of chosen its administrative leadership which is more of political patronage, rather than on merit, capability and experience also accounted for mediocrities at the local government administration. The article recommends that in order to enhance a good governance and effective service delivery at the grassroots, there is need for financial and administrative autonomy and a robust human capital development programme for various categories of workers through a well-coordinated efforts of local government service commission and ministry of local government affairs to enhance better service delivery. </em></p>Ayodele Charles Oluwasanmi

https://bjmas.org/index.php/bjmas/article/view/1284
<p><em>This study examines the influence of single parenting on secondary school students’ English Language proficiency in selected public secondary schools across Ekiti State, Nigeria. The study was guided by two objectives: to examine how single parenting influences students’ engagement with English Language learning, and to determine whether a significant difference exists in academic performance in English between students from single-parent and dual-parent households. A descriptive survey research design was adopted. The sample comprised 400 students selected using a multistage sampling technique: first, 20 public secondary schools were proportionately drawn across the 16 local government areas of Ekiti State to reflect both rural and urban settings. Subsequently, stratified random sampling was used to ensure balanced representation from single-parent and dual-parent families. Data collection involved a structured questionnaire assessing academic engagement and home support, alongside academic records in English Language over a three-year period. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean) and inferential statistics (ANOVA) were employed to analyze the data. Results showed that students from dual-parent homes generally reported higher academic support, emotional encouragement, and access to English learning resources. Furthermore, repeated measures ANOVA revealed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001) in English Language performance between the two groups across the three years, favoring students from dual-parent households. The findings underscore the role of family structure in shaping academic engagement and performance. The study recommends that schools, policymakers, and social support agencies collaborate to provide targeted academic and emotional support for students from single-parent homes to bridge the performance gap.</em><em> </em></p>Oluwadamilola Temitope AkinyemiDunsin Oyindamola AdeosunOlaide Morolayo BabalolaOpeyemi Emmanuel Olawe

https://bjmas.org/index.php/bjmas/article/view/1293
<p>This paper critically examines the enduring impact of colonial language policies on Zambia’s education system, demonstrating how an English-only curriculum perpetuates linguistic hierarchies, marginalizes Indigenous knowledge, and deepens socioeconomic inequities. Drawing on postcolonial theory and Afrocentric notions of Ubuntu, I conduct a document review of key policy texts—including the Education Act of 2011 and the 2023 Zambia Education Curriculum Framework—alongside relevant scholarly literature and comparative case studies. My analysis highlights both the historical roots of these inequities and practical pathways to decolonize the curriculum by integrating local languages and community-centered pedagogies.</p>Ronald Lewis Kaunda

https://bjmas.org/index.php/bjmas/article/view/1287
<p><em>The problems of global warming and noise pollution require solutions aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emission carbon II oxide (CO) and automobile engine noise. To do this focus must be on measures that enhance the reduction of CO emission and engine noise in vehicle. One of such measures is the use of a gaseous fuel Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for vehicular transportation. In this work, exhaust emission and engine noise of a vehicle fueled with CNG is compared with exhaust emission and engine noise of the same vehicle fueled with petrol. The exhaust emissions were measured using a portable CO meter and noise level was measured with a sound level meter. The test results show that compared to petrol, CNG allows for a significant decrease in CO emission and engine noise of an automobile vehicle engine. </em> </p>J. O. AbereA. A. OjoA. A. OjoK. A.
