This research work describes a study that used measles disease data collected through Knoema health surveillance system to evaluate univariate time series method namely; autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA). The data obtained from 1980 to 2016 were used as modeling data and forecasting samples, respectively. The performances were evaluated based on three metrics: mean absolute error (MAE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and mean square error (MSE). A low normalized BI...
Advances in several key communication and information technologies are worth tracking for their impact on interactive health communication and ability to meet .customers' demands. One of these technologies is the inte1net. It is based on this that this research work is cal1'ied out to dete1mine the level at which the internet has been able to improve the delivery of healthcare services in the healthcare delivery system in Nigeria. An explanatory research methodology was adopted in the c...
Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) family of enzymes plays important roles in the protection of organisms from oxidative damage. GPx converts reduced glutathione (GSH) to oxidized glutathione (GSSG) while reducing lipid hydroperoxides to their corresponding alcohols or free hydrogen peroxide to water. This study was conducted to investigate the possible effects of temperature in vivo on Glutathione peroxidase (GPX) oxidative activity in fish tissues.An adult fully grown cat fish, (the African flath...
ABSTRACT A study was made of the effect on pepper quality of the traditional method of processing the "Balancotta" variety of Piper nigrum (black pepper). The study comparatively considered the microbiological quality, drying method, drying rate, colour and appearance, washing or cleaning method, prior to fermentation or heaping as well as an alternative method - heat treatment processing of the commodity. Using a solar dryer as a drying apparatus resulted in 9.8% moisture content of the sam...
This study is concerned with the female enrolment at the junior secondary school levels in Nigeria. In writing this project, the approach has been to determine the trend in female enrolment at the junior secondary school level by the geo - political zones. This research work is organized into five chapters. The first chapter deals with the introduction of the study. In this chapter, the background information is provided, objective of the study is outlined and the significance of the stu...

Internal sorting algorithms constitute a class of util ity programs that are widely used in performing routine computing operations . This thesis examines the t heory and structu res of these algorithms and ill ustrates their basic principles with flowcharts and tabular presentations. PASCAL codes were also developed and implemented for the methods.
Abstract The modern-day automobile is no longer just an analog and mechanical entity. Currently, the most basic of vehicular functions have been computerized. The dedicated hardware assigned to these tasks are electronic control units (ECU). Automobiles consist of a number of ECUs networked together to ensure proper functioning of the vehicle. The overall safety of the vehicle relies on real-time communication between the ECUs. Intra-vehicular communication is possible because of the Controll...
Abstract Effective democratic governance is still gaining its roots in Ghana. With time, people have become more aware of their societies and the effort put in by their leaders to make it better. For a leader, being accountable to the people is taking steps to ensure that his or her actions and promises are binding. Accountability remains one of the challenging factors in governance because the people can assess the performance of the incumbent. This project therefore seeks to provide a syste...
Abstract Hospitals in Ghana still operate with the file-based system approach due to the absence of a health management system. While this approach works, it is an ineffective way to store and manage health records. Hospitals consume large amounts of paper in preparing medical records, lab reports, and prescriptions. With information scattered all over the place, it becomes difficult to manage and keep track of. In this paper, a solution proposed is a health management system whereby various ...
Abstract Disaster is an unfortunate, yet common phenomenon in our world today. This phenomenon stakes undesirable claims on lives, infrastructure and services alike. Those affected both directly and indirectly must overcome challenges, not only during but also, after the occurrence of disasters. Imperatively, it is always prefered to be better equipped to prevent the disaster and avoid it altogether. Yet that is impossible as not all disasters are man-made. Disaster management then must be u...
Abstract The increasing accessibility to internet resources has made several companies adopt the use of such resources in their processes. Axis Human Capital Limited, a human capital management and development company in Ghana, needed a mobile application that mitigates the problems that their clients face when using their website and has other important features that successfully support their processes and improve them where necessary. This paper proposes a hybrid mobile application, Axis M...
Abstract Machine learning and the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has grown nearly exponentially over the past few years. However, growing fears over the nature of AI and the use of user data by large companies has put an air of distrust over the ML community. This makes it hard to collect more data with better user representation is needed to train more useful and accurate models and creates a unique problem space that my project seeks to tackle. It raises the question; how might...
