Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of media technologies on communication practices and social change through the framework of technological determinism. The purpose of the study is to analyze how advancements in media technologies influence individual and societal communication, thereby affecting cultural norms, political engagement, and economic development. Employing a qualitative descriptive methodology, this research evaluates both the positive and negative consequences of media technology adoption. The findings reveal that while technological determinism posits that technology fundamentally shapes social structures and behaviors, there is also significant evidence supporting the role of human agency in mediating media use. This dual perspective emphasizes the complexity of the relationship between technology and society, suggesting that media technologies not only drive societal transformation but also interact with human choices and cultural contexts. The implications of this study highlight the necessity for scholars and practitioners to adopt a nuanced understanding of media technologies' influence, encouraging further research that integrates both technological impacts and human agency. Ultimately, this research contributes to the broader discourse on the interplay between technology and society, underscoring the importance of critically examining the role of media in shaping communication practices and fostering social change.

Abstract

Economic growth models are essential for understanding the long-term dynamics of economies, yet traditional models often rely on classical differential and integral calculus, which may inadequately represent discrete, nonlinear, or growth-oriented phenomena. This study aims to introduce G-Calculus (Geometric Calculus), an extension of non-Newtonian calculus, as an alternative analytical framework that is particularly effective for modeling multiplicative and exponential growth systems. We present the theoretical underpinnings of G-Calculus and apply it to established economic growth frameworks, such as the Solow model and endogenous growth theory. By utilizing a comparative analysis, we evaluate the performance of G-Calculus in capturing economic dynamics, revealing significant advantages in terms of both accuracy and applicability. The findings indicate that G-Calculus provides a more natural and effective representation of economic growth processes, thereby enhancing the analytical capabilities of economists. This study contributes to the existing literature by offering a novel perspective on economic modeling, suggesting that G-Calculus can be a valuable tool for researchers and policymakers aiming to gain deeper insights into economic development.

Abstract

This paper presents a concise yet effective technique for simplifying complex nonlinear equations by converting them into a log-linear form, with particular application to Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models. The method, known as log-linearization, leverages Taylor series approximation to express nonlinear functions as linear relationships in logarithmic deviations around a steady-state equilibrium. By doing so, the approach enhances analytical tractability and facilitates the interpretation and solution of DSGE models. The paper provides illustrative examples, including applications to Real Business Cycle (RBC) models, to demonstrate the practical implementation and benefits of the technique in macroeconomic modeling.

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between vertical up-scaling and lecturers’ academic job performance in tertiary institutions within the Calabar Education Zone of Cross River State. Guided by two research questions and two null hypotheses, the study adopted a descriptive survey design and utilized a stratified random sampling technique to select 369 lecturers as respondents. Data were collected using the Questionnaire for Vertical Up-scaling on Academic Job Performance in Tertiary Institutions (QVUSAJP). Responses were analyzed using mean and standard deviation for research questions, while simple linear regression was employed to test the hypotheses at the 0.05 significance level. The findings revealed that professional development opportunities accounted for 33.8% of the variance in academic job performance and had a statistically significant positive influence. Similarly, enhancing research capacities explained 34.8% of the variance and also demonstrated a significant effect on lecturers’ academic job performance. Based on these findings, it was recommended that institutions promote regular workshops, training sessions, and mentorship programs to enhance pedagogical competencies. Furthermore, lecturers should be encouraged to participate in national and international conferences to remain current with global educational and research developments. Future research should extend this study to other regions and explore alternative data collection instruments to enrich understanding of the impact of vertical up-scaling on academic performance.

Abstract

This study investigates audience perceptions of citizen journalists’ reportage of climate change on select social media platforms in Nasarawa State, Nigeria. The research aims to assess how citizen journalism shapes public understanding of climate change through digital channels. Employing a survey design with questionnaires as the primary instrument, the study reveals that audiences in Nasarawa State perceive climate change reportage on YouTube, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook as both effective and satisfactory. However, the findings also indicate that not all climate change information disseminated through these platforms is accurate. The study concludes that social media serve as a double-edged tool in climate change communication, offering both credible insights and the risk of misinformation. Nevertheless, these limitations do not diminish the overall credibility of the reported findings. The study contributes to scholarship on media and environmental communication by highlighting the role of citizen journalism in climate change awareness, while underscoring the need for third-party regulation to mitigate misinformation and enhance the reliability of online climate discourse.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic fundamentally transformed modes of communication by shifting reliance toward digital communication technologies (DCTs) in response to physical distancing measures. Against this backdrop, this study examined the adoption and use of DCTs in selected federal parastatals in Nigeria during the Covid-19 era, with a particular focus on benefits, challenges, and implications for work, education, and mental health. A survey research design was employed, and data were collected through questionnaires administered to staff of the National Productivity Centre (NPC) and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) in Abuja. The findings reveal a high level of DCT adoption within both organizations, particularly for virtual meetings, which served as supportive tools in mitigating the disruptive effects of the pandemic. However, challenges such as limited digital literacy among civil servants, unequal access to reliable online services, and the overwhelming proliferation of online information were found to exacerbate anxiety, social tensions, and discriminatory behaviors. The study concludes that bridging the digital divide is critical, recommending that policymakers prioritize affordable access to DCTs, while organizations should invest in upgrading digital infrastructure and skills, benchmarking against high-performing institutions to enhance competitiveness. By illuminating the dual role of DCTs as both enablers and potential stressors, this study underscores their long-term significance in shaping organizational resilience and social interaction in a post-pandemic future.

Abstract

This study examines the adoption of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in modern journalism practice among practitioners in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja and Nasarawa State, against the backdrop of journalism’s global transformation from manual to machine-assisted processes. Anchored in Technological Determinism Theory, the research employed a descriptive survey design, with data collected through questionnaires administered to practitioners. The findings reveal that respondents possess only moderate familiarity with ICTs for journalism, with their understanding rated as “good,” reflecting an average level of knowledge. Furthermore, the adoption and utilization of ICTs in journalism practice within the study areas remain below average, limiting efficiency in news sourcing, processing, and dissemination. The study concludes that inadequate knowledge and low adoption hinder the full benefits of ICT in journalism. It recommends sustained orientation programs and digital innovation campaigns to improve journalists’ awareness and competencies, as well as stronger government support to accelerate the transition from analogue to digital journalism. Enhanced adoption of ICTs will ultimately reduce production costs and time while improving the quality and speed of news delivery.

Abstract

This study examined public exposure to and responses toward environmental sanitation messages broadcast by Adamawa Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Radio within Yola Metropolis, Adamawa State. Using a survey research design, a sample of 399 respondents was drawn from a population of 371,038 residents based on Taro Yamane’s formula. The findings reveal relatively low levels of exposure to sanitation-related messages aired on ABC Radio. While the credibility of these messages was perceived as moderate, the study identified limited behavioural compliance with recommended sanitation practices, including proper waste disposal and participation in community clean-up efforts. The weak response was attributed to infrastructural deficits such as inadequate waste disposal facilities, irregular waste collection, and weak enforcement of existing sanitation regulations. The study concludes that message exposure alone is insufficient to drive behavioural change without supporting environmental infrastructure and enforcement mechanisms. It recommends that ABC Radio increase the frequency and appeal of its environmental programmes by integrating more interactive and engaging formats, such as talk shows, street vox pops, drama skits, and listener call-in segments, to enhance public engagement and responsiveness.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of parental attitude on students’ motivation to learn mathematics, focusing on the mediating role of parental involvement and the moderating effects of socioeconomic status (SES) and school context. Using a descriptive correlational design, data were collected from 400 parent–student pairs in public and private secondary schools in the Ogbomoso Education Zone, Oyo State, Nigeria. The Parental Mathematics Attitude Scale (PMAS), Parental Involvement Index (PII), and Mathematics Motivation Inventory (MMI) were administered, and the data were analyzed using correlation, multiple regression, and mediation–moderation analysis. The results reveal a significant positive relationship between parental attitude and students’ motivation to learn mathematics (r = 0.61, p < 0.01), with parental attitude and parental involvement jointly explaining 46% of the variance in students’ motivation. Mediation analysis confirms that parental involvement partially mediates the relationship between parental attitude and students’ motivation, while SES and school context moderate this relationship, with stronger effects observed among urban and higher-SES families. The study concludes that fostering positive parental beliefs about mathematics and increasing parents’ active participation in their children’s mathematics learning can enhance students’ motivation, self-efficacy, and task value. It underscores the importance of parental workshops and strengthened school–home collaboration to promote supportive mathematics learning environments in Nigeria.
