Abstract: Overview: The purpose of the study was to assess the impact of the practice of servant human resource on employee’s performance with reference to Private Universities in Zambia. The study was conducted in Lusaka district the capital city of Zambia.

Body of Knowledge: Many researchers say there is no universally accepted leadership theory.  Yet they say that there are several theories that tend to explain leadership. These include; trait theory, behavior based theory and contingence theory. The study examined how HR leadership affects organizational performance, finding out the relationship between moral leadership and organizational performance, investigating how leadership of love affects organizational performance and finding out if servant HR leadership principles and qualities are better ways of managing and leading workers in comparison to other leadership styles as well as theories of leadership and management.

The sample size was 10% of the target population and involved a total of 100 respondents; senior managers, Heads of Departments, Lecturers, and Support staff. The study used a descriptive design using qualitative paradigms to triangulate methods to offset the limitations of the other. Questionnaires were used to collect data. Tables were used to analyze the data obtained.

Results: The integration of servant HRM practices in private universities creates a conducive environment for academic staff to thrive, leading to higher levels of performance and job satisfaction. These findings underscore the importance of adopting a servant leadership approach and effective HR practices to foster a productive and positive organizational culture in the educational sector

Recommendation: Private University leaders should take keen interest in matters that concern their employees. In doing this, they should focus more on showing concern for employees in their personal matters and work towards improving the general employee welfare.

Abstract: Overview: Conflict resolution mechanisms in multi-ethnic societies are multifaceted, aiming to address the unique challenges arising from diverse cultural, ethnic, and social backgrounds. The study was conducted in Lusaka district, the capital city of Zambia from which the participants were selected for the study.

Body of Knowledge: Conflict resolution in multi-ethnic societies involves implementing various mechanisms to manage and mitigate disputes arising from ethnic diversity. Effective approaches include promoting inclusive governance that ensures representation and participation of all ethnic groups, fostering dialogue and communication to build mutual understanding and trust, and establishing legal frameworks that protect minority rights. Additionally, economic development initiatives aimed at reducing inequality can alleviate tensions by addressing underlying grievances.

Methods: The study adopted a mixed methods approach combining quantitative and qualitative data.  The sample included Political leaders, Civil society organizations members, Community leaders, and the General public. The target population was 2000 with a sample size of 200; 10% of the actual population. Qualitative data collected from semi-structured interview schedules was analyzed thematically in line with research objectives; while data generated from the questionnaires were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (version 26) and Microsoft Excel (version 16) to come up with graphs, and pie charts.

Results: The study highlighted the importance of inclusive dialogue and participatory governance structures that ensure representation and voice for all ethnic groups. The findings emphasized the effectiveness of traditional and indigenous conflict resolution practices, which often emphasize restorative justice and communal reconciliation, in complementing formal legal frameworks. The study also identified the role of education and social integration programs in fostering mutual understanding and reducing prejudices among different ethnic communities.

Recommendation: The study recommended that sustainable conflict resolution in multi-ethnic societies requires a multifaceted approach, integrating political, social, and economic strategies tailored to the specific cultural contexts of the communities involved.

Keywords: Community Engagement, Ethnic Inclusion, Legal Frameworks, Peace Building, and Social Cohesion.

Abstract: Overview: The study examined the effects of using local languages as a medium of instruction on academic performance of learners: a case of selected primary schools in Solwezi district.

Body of Knowledge: Using local languages as a medium of instruction can significantly impact the academic performance of learners in a positive manner. This approach not only facilitates better understanding of subject matter but also fosters a sense of cultural identity and pride among learners. Moreover, it helps bridge the gap between home and school environments, leading to increased parental involvement in education. By utilizing local languages, educators can create a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to express themselves confidently, ultimately enhancing their overall academic achievement and promoting inclusive education practices.

 Methods: The study employed a mixed paradigm and descriptive survey design that sampled head teachers, teachers and pupils. The total target population was 555. The sample size involved a total of 55 respondents, which was 10% of the target population. This study used descriptive analysis to analyze the data.  Qualitative and Quantitative techniques of data analysis were used, and data was presented on the analytical tools such as SPSS, tables, figures and charts.

Results: The findings indicated that using local languages as medium of instruction improved the academic performance of learners in the sense that learners were able to learn how to read and write early in their primary school grades. Additionally, the study revealed that schools and teachers faced a number of challenges in implementing the policy of teaching in local languages and these were: lack of suitable teaching and learning materials, negative attitude of some teachers towards teaching in local language, incompetence of teachers and lack of capacity to handle learners coming from homes where the medium of instruction is not the native language.

Recommendation: The government to decentralize educational planning and budgeting to allow provinces and districts to develop their own local language materials and that teacher recruitment be aligned with language and instructional approach in such a way that teachers should be recruited and deployed to schools where their language proficiency aligns with those of the learners.

Keywords: Academic Performance, Cultural Relevance, Curriculum Development, Education, and Local Languages.

Abstract: Nigeria occupies the highest position in the global epidemiology of sickle cell anaemia. This raises concern among some Nigerian writers and prompts them to make anaemic crisis the motif of their texts in order to create awareness that will reduce the number of anaemic patients. This study is delineated within the medical humanities to conscientise people to the portraiture of genotypic compatibility in literary texts. It aims at exploring literary dimension to curtailing the menace of sickle cell anaemia. The research elucidates the interface between literature and medicine, in multidisciplinary studies, to reduce infant mortality through literary studies. Qualitative research methodology is employed in the study. It enhances the hermeneutics of two Nigerian literary texts thematising the causes of anaemic crisis. The literature review deconstructs mythical proposition about sickle cell anaemia. The study reveals that sickle cell anaemia is topmost among the causes of infant mortality in Nigeria. The finding also shows that anaemic children and their parents live unhappy life often characterised by crisis management and infirmary journeys. Their parents are always dejected and take responsibility for the pains of the anaemic children. In spite of the pains, both texts beacon hope, explaining bone marrow transplant as veritable treatment that cures sickle cell anaemia. However, the texts recommend genotypic compatibility as the best way to avoid giving birth to an anaemic child. Nigerian scholars in the humanities, sciences, and the social sciences, with background in health education, have to sensitise the populace about genotypic test before marriage is contracted.

Keywords: Anaemic patients, genotypic compatibility, literature and medicine, Nigeria.
