Scripting Language As An Alternative For Providing A Gentle Learning Curve In Programming: A Case Of Java And Python

ABSTRACT In computing studies, students learn a number of computing aspects, one of them being computer programming. Computer programming can be taught in different approaches and in different languages. Each approach or language has its own strengths and weaknesses. The discussion on this research was based on determining the language that has more features for providing a gentle learning curve to a first time learner. This research was conducted through an experimental approach whereby par...

SYSTEM Research note on: Assessing attrition bias risk

CONTEXT: Systematic reviews of clinical trials need to assess the risk of attrition bias as part of its appraisal of the currently available evidence to a particular review question. PROBLEM: Notwithstanding the possible merits of different approaches to estimate the potential intervention outcomes of lost trial participants as the main reason for attrition bias, most remain arbitrary. SUGGESTED SOLUTION: Assuming a worst- and best-case scenario of intervention outcomes provides the certain...

Influence of Mass Media on Students Academic Performance

Background of the Study Man is a social being and hence; will find a way to satisfy his need for communication.

The Impact of Capital Flight on Economic Development: Ghana and Nigeria Compared.

ABSTRACT This study examines the relationship between capital flight and economic development in Africa by focusing on the impact of capital flight on economic development in Nigeria and Ghana. Existing literature on the phenomenon of capital flight, has focused almost exclusively on exploring the relationship between capital flight and economic growth instead of economic development. The preponderance of that literature indicates that a negative relationship exists between capital flight and...

PARASITIC COMPUTING

Parasitic computing is programming technique where a program in normal authorized interactions with another program manages to get the other program to perform computations of a complex nature. It is, in a sense, a security exploit in that the program implementing the parasitic computing has no authority to consume resources made available to the other program. The example given by the original paper was two computers communicating over the Internet, under disguise of a standard communication...
