Terrorism: A Threat to Security and Human Existence

Terrorism attracted a lot of attention in recent year. Many theories have been  developed by scholars to explain terrorism, its causes, while people resort to extreme violence to make their point. This paper examines some selected theories that could help us gain insight into terrorism and various activities associated with it. One of the major recommendation made by this paper is that terrorism  as a global issue require  increased global attention. There must be concerted effort from bo...

Community Security Self-Help Initiative: A Panacea for Food Sustainability and Grassroot Development in Nigeria

Abstract The research study examines the impact of community security self-help initiative and food security for grassroot development sustainability. Community self-help initiative is not a novel enterprise in communities in Nigeria as evidence abounds of how communities magnificently organized themselves in constructing roads, building bridges, schools, farmland assistance and neighbourhood watchdog to each other. The population of study is 351,865 from residence of Ikole, Efon and Emure lo...

Leadership Crisis and the Challenges of Ungoverned Spaces in Border Towns of Ogun State: Implications for National Security

INFLUENCE OF MONITORING AND EVALUATION ON PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY IN NIGERIA, A CASE STUDY OF LOCAL EMPOWERMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROJECT (LEEMP) IN BENUE STATE

ABSTRACTThis study examines the Influence of Monitoring and Evaluation on Project Sustainability inNigeria, A Case Study of Local Empowerment and Environmental Management Project(LEEMP) in Benue State. Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E) helps to track projectperformance at any given time and provides reasons for an observed project status. In thisstudy, M & E was defined as the key component of project management that gives controlover the main parameters that define a project; scope, quality,...

Developing and Validating of Predictive Model for Radiofrequency Radiation Emission Within the Vicinity of Fm Stations in Ghana.

ABSTRACT  The rapid growing number of FM stations with their corresponding antennas have led to an increase in the concern of the potential health risks that may arise as a result of exposure to RF radiations. The main objective of this research was to develop and validate a predictive model with real time measured data for FM antennas in Ghana. Theoretical and experimental assessment of radiofrequency emission due to FM antennas has been analysed. The maximum and minimum electric field spat...

Investigations into The Shelf Life and Nutritional Quality of Fresh Tomato Fruit (Solanum Lycopersicon) Following Two Post - Harvest Treatments.

ABSTRACT  Tomato production in Ghana is characterized by a glut and high post – harvest losses during the major season followed by scarcity and high prices during the off season. This is the result or absence of a standard method for preservation of fresh fruits. This research was conducted to determine an effective method for the post - harvest treatment of fresh tomato fruits to enhance shelf life while preserving its physicochemical and nutritional properties. Two experiments were condu...

Risk Assessment of Occupational Radiation Dose at The Teletherapy Facility of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital Ghana

ABSTRACT  The National centre for Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine at the Korle-bu Teaching Hospital in Ghana uses a Theratron Equinox 100 Cobalt-60 teletherapy machine that was commissioned in 2014 with a source activity of 370.4TBq. The prime objective of this research was to estimate the risk and probability of cancer induction to workers and also to evaluate the level of radiation safety at the facility. Data was collected by means of TLDs and personal dose records available between the...

Computational Hydrodynamic Modelling of the Fate and Impact of Natural Radionuclides in Liquid Effluent Discharges from The Gold Processing Plant at Aboso Goldmines in Damang Tarkwa, Ghana

ABSTRACT Transport of radioactivity in surface water of mine-origin can occur either due to a controlled release from a working mine site (e.g. release of excess stored water) or uncontrolled release (e.g. erosion of material from a site). The radionuclides could concentrate during mining and mineral ore processing and incorporate in water bodies or traditional food stuffs, and thus contribute to the radiation dose received by the public. Eulerian approach to Partial Differential Equations (...

Modelling Radionuclides Transport and Fate in Groundwater Systems: A Case Study of Newmont Akyem Goldmine in Ghana

Abstract It has been established that radionuclides accumulate during mining and mineral ore processing, leaching into water bodies and thus increases naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) concentration levels. In this work, theoretical and experimental methods have been used to study radionuclides transport and fate in groundwater systems at the Newmont Akyem Goldmine in the Eastern Region of Ghana. Radiation doses from radionuclides in groundwater have been modeled by considerin...

Mapping Air Quality Levels in Jos Urban Area of Plateau State, Nigeria.

Abstract This research is aimed at mapping Air quality levels in Jos metropolis. The research made use of data collected by the use of structured questionnaires. Solid waste constitute the highest source of air pollution with 43.72% followed by automobile with 31.69% from the research. In mapping the air quality levels, air quality metre was used in taking measurements of the air quality index (AQI). Fourteen locations in the study area were measured. Generally, the air quality of Jos is eith...
