Abstract/Overview Although knowledge of biology is important for the survival of humans, performance in the subject, both in pre-Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (pre-KCSE) assessment and national examinations in Vihiga county has always been below average. Several interventions have been put in place to rectify the situation but in vain. However, the effect of the general computer use has not been investigated. This study investigated the effect of the general computer use on sec...
Abstract/Overview It is unclear how much adolescents’ lives were disrupted throughout the COVID-19 pandemic or what risk factors predicted such disruption. To answer these questions, 1,080 adolescents in 9 nations were surveyed 5 times from March 2020 to July 2022. Rates of adolescent COVID-19 life disruption were stable and high. Adolescents who, compared to their peers, lived in nations with higher national COVID-19 death rates, lived in nations with less stringent COVID-19 mitigation st...
Abstract: Stingless/meliponine bees are eusocial insects whose polylactic nature enables interaction with a wide variety of wild plants and crops that enhance pollination and, hence, support ecosystem services. However, their true potential regarding pollination services and honey production is yet to be fully recognized. Worldwide, there are over 800 species of meliponine bees, with over 20 species documented on the African continent. Out of these, only 12 species have been well documented ...
ABSTRACT The study evaluated computer science education programme in Enugu State College of Education, Technical, Enugu. Four research questions were asked and ensured. The research method used is survey type. The population of the study is 1262 (one thousand two hundred and sixty two). Data were corrected from two hundred students (200) and five (5) lecturers of the department of computer science Education in ESECT. The instrument used was questioner. The instrument was validated by the...
Abstract This project work was carried out to examine the computer awareness level among junior secondary school students in Enugu urban Enugu State. The result of the findings further established the notion of other scholars equally discovered that there is generally low level of computer awareness among students as a result of some militating factors such as inadequacy of teachers, handling the subjects, inadequacy of qualified teachers, inadequate teaching methods and materials name th...

Abstract: A study was conducted in Dikicha Kebele, Miyo District, Borana Zone of Southern Ethiopia, to compare woody species diversity, uses, and regeneration status, and soil organic carbon of conserved and non -conserved adjacent sub-watersheds. In each sub-watersheds, four transect lines were systematically laid parallel to each other at 200 m interval. Ten nested sample plots were established at interval of 50m along each transect lines. The main plots had 30m X 30m while sub-plots had 5...
ABSTRACT This project is a power bank for laptops, and it is designed to serve as a back up to a laptop whenever there is no power supply and it has a variable knob which controls the output voltage to a desired value. The problem is that we carry different chargers for different gadgets. Though the cost of producing is more costly than the normal chargers we have around but it can serve as a reliable backup considering the problem and solution above a power bank for laptop charger is neede...
ABSTRACT This study investigated students‟ awareness of the availability of e-resources in UPSA, their extent of use of these e-resources, reasons for use, usefulness of e-resources for students‟ academic performances, challenges with use, and the relationship between “students‟ computer literacy skills” and “use of electronic resources”. This study is beneficial to three (3) main categories of people within a university community, and includes university administrators, libra...
ABSTRACT Automatic control systems penneate life in all advanced societies today. Such systems act as catalysts in promoting progress and development. They are integral components of any industrial society and are necessary for the production of standardized and quality goods. Suitable signal plans at each road intersections can be used to solve the problem of traffic :flow. These plans could be fixed-time, time varying, or traffic actuated. Traffic control systems have evolved during the 20...
ABSTRACT Despite many building have firefighting systems installed in them; many people are still losing their lives and property due to fire accidents. The cost of installation of these systems is usually high and most of them are operated manually. They are often located inside the building which may not be accessible during fire accidents. In this research, an automatic cost effective prototype of a fire fighting system for the detection and control of fire has been designed and fabricated...
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The importance of computer cannot be over emphasized with respect to designing and implementation in text editing package which could be in sciences, engineering, business or government etc. Consequently, computers are becoming indispensable. This is obviously true in developed countries; like Nigeria is gradually being gravitated into computer oriented society with professional engineers, analyst, design and implementation of some pa...
ABSTRACT The main purpose of this study was to ascertain the differences existing between the use of Computer Based Instruction (CB1) and the traditional method of teaching mathematics. The study was conducted in two basic schools in Kasoa. The schools were St. Martha’s Basic school and Emmanuel Presby basic school all in Kasoa. The survey was conducted by using questionnaire and achievement test items. Items in the Questionnaire and the text items were of relevance to the purpose of the su...
ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to assess the determinants of contraceptive use among females in Ghana. The rate of contraceptive use among females in Ghana is very low. That leads to high fertility, high maternal mortality and high infant mortality in the country. So to improve the overall reproductive health status of women, it is important to encourage contraceptive use among women. This study investigates the effects of some demographic, social programmatic factors on current use of con...
