ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of .a microcomputer as a tool of information handling. Specifically, this involved developing software packages for use on an Apple II Plus microcomputer. The Willow Bend Demonstrational Farm in Union, West Virginia, was chosen. A farm records and budgets model was developed. Receipts and expenses from the Electronic Farm Accounting records were used to test the model for use by the farm operators in West Virginia. Enterpri s...
ABSTRACT Identification of Crop-Growing Seasons of Semi-Arid Kenya by Analvses of the Soil Moisture Patterns. (May 1984) David Kasina }1usembi, B.S., University of Nairobi Chairman of Advisory Cormnit tee i- Prof. John F. Griffiths Eight stations wit~ over 30 years of rainfall record were selected in the dry region of Kenya, east of 37°E longitude, to study the nature of the crop growing seasons during the short and the long rains (October through June). The rainfall data were reduced to soi...
Abstract The crime rate in the nation of Zimbabwe has been steadily increasing in the past 3 years with about 10-15% annually and particularly in theft related crimes. It is due to the advent of this growth in crime that has led to the development of this system as a basis of a prototype to protect people’s homes in particular. As the study in crime done by the ZRP and U.S Embassy OSAC the crimes are mainly based on breaking and entering, therefore this Arduino based alarm system is develop...
ABSTRACT The Government of the Republic of Namibia as a multi-layered organisation of systems, desires to be effective, efficient and integrated in service delivery. Although it continues to invest significantly in the acquisition and development of information systems, active results and efficiency are not necessarily produced as expected. A concern in public roads traffic control are the various traffic fine information systems involved, which are heterogeneous and decentralised. This has c...
ABSTRACT In the wake of digitalisation, technology has changed the world, connecting people with information and services at the touch of a finger. Regular Internet access, smartphones and other technological advances have made the world a global village by bringing people from various geographical locations together. Despite the positive changes, the pace and scale of this technological revolution have created space for nefarious actors. Identity theft, data breaches, fake news, phishing and...
ABSTRACT The idea of developing Mbizo high school integrated administration system was hatched due to the lack of a suitable IT based solution to administrative processes of schools classified in class B. Many school administration systems available off-the-shelf are not fit for most of the school in Zimbabwe and study have shown that they are prematurely abandoned due to their unsustainability. The new system is tailor made to suite well in environments of class B school like Mbizo high scho...
ABSTRACT This document provides a comprehensive overview of the Vehicle licensing and tolling application with the main aim of gathering and summarising facts, identifying as well as analysing alternatives thereby solving the problems faced at Zimbabwe National Roads Administration (ZINARA). Data gathering methodologies which include interviews, observations and questionnaires were used in identifying the problems currently being faced by the organisation. These included human errors and frau...
ABSTRACT Preeti Gupta(2005) A system is an association of components to perform a specific function .In this case the Auxiliary Plants integration system is a system that will allow ZPC to fully manage its auxiliary plants allowing the management to know the status of the water treatment plant and coal plant. The system will integrate the coal plant and water treatment plant, whereby operators will enter the readings of the plant in the system and the operator details will be known and the f...
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to come up with a mobile health EasyPharm Android application is a system that will integrate the manual functions being performed by the patients, doctors and the pharmacy. The development of this system comes out after the identification of numerous problems which are associated with the current system. The different types of information gathering techniques were used to unveil these problems. Techniques which were used are interviews, questionnaires a...
Abstract The purpose of this research was to build an Information System based solution which would help address challenges of slow CDR requests, inaccurate response to requests, workload of data mining procedures and the risks associated with connecting manually to live database exposing live database to risks. CDR mining and analysis system is an electronic data mining and analysis system which is intranet based for security reasons. This system was developed to address risks (preventing wr...
Abstract As the adoption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools in production and service rendering sectors increases, the demand for digital data storage with large storage capacity also increases. Higher storage media systems reliability and fault tolerance are among the key factors that the existing systems sometimes fail to meet and therefore, resulting into data loss. Forward error correction is one of the techniques applied to reduce the impact of data loss problem in ...
ABSTRACT This research study assesses whether a lack of marketing and promotion causes a decrease in the usage of electronic resources or whether there are other prevailing factors that prevent users from using the libraries’ electronic resources. The research tried to find out what marketing and promotional techniques are employed and how the electronic resources are organised in the selected libraries. The study covered the Khomas region in Windhoek, Namibia. The principal method used to...
combining RSA and Vigenère Cryptographic Algorithms to Encrypt and Decrypt Data
ABSTRACT The use of cloud computing in recent times has recorded remarkable growth while security and privacy issues have remained a critical challenge and a thing of concern for researchers. The reason partly is associated to the fact that most users do not have baseline knowledge of how to securely use cloud services and as such they end up becoming victims, because hackers take advantage of their inadequate knowledge. This thesis is on the Design and Implementation of Mobile One-Time Passw...
