ABSTRACT This research study aims at producing a proposed ZENT Employee Social Security System that delivers an automated employee access to social security credit. The development of this system was driven by the incompetence processing of the long serving social security access system. More so, the proposed ZENT social security system was developed using the modern technology adopted from the object oriented language classes. The benefits of developing such as a statement proved to outstand...

Abstract Food-security and sustainability is a serious global concern in the recent times. Many indigenous food crops of Africa which promises to ameliorate nutritional food insecurities are presently neglected and under-utilized. African yam bean (AYB) is one of such crop with tremendous nutritional potentials. The poor awareness about the taxonomy, agronomy, genetics, medicinal value and productive potential of the crop may be due to limited research on it. The subsistence production of the...
ABSTRACT This study evaluated "the effects of processing methods on the physico-chemical properties of sweet potato and sorghum flour". Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is an important food crop in the tropical and sub-tropical countries and belongs to the family convolvulaceae. Sweet potatoes are rich in dietary fiber, minerals, vitamins, and anti oxidants such as phenolic acids, anthocyannins, tocopherol and β-carotene. The proximate composition of sweet potato was determined and these incl...

CHAPTER ONE 1.0 GENERAL INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction Grains constitute the most important staple food for the growing population in most parts of the world and are usually stored to provide food reserve and seeds for planting (Niber, 1994). Maize is a very important crop of the world after wheat and rice (Purseglove, 1992). Maize (Zea mays) originated in America, and is now the principal cereal crop in the tropics and sub-tropics (FAO, 1992). In Ghana, maize is the largest staple crop an...
ABSTRACT Stable and affordable food commodity prices are important for food security. Higher food prices reduce a family‟s expenditure on other life sustaining expenditures such as health and education. In 2007/8, the world experienced an unexpected rise in both food commodity prices and fuel (petroleum products) prices, which drew the attention of world leaders and researchers. The effect of this continues increases in gasoline prices on the price of maize have implications for Ghanaians ...
In recent times, separatist movements in South-East geopolitical zone have stepped-up struggles for the actualization of the sovereign state of Biafra through protest and other forms of social mobilization. The protests have triggered tension with security agencies applying excessive force to quell agitations and protests. This paper examines the politics of imbalance played by the Nigerian State towards (Igbo extraction) through non-development of the region and that has triggered the resurg...
ABSTRACT The term cloud computing is derived from the cloud diagram on the network that represented the Internet for years until a variety of services emerged that allowed computing resources to be accessed over the Internet. The technology extends existing IT capabilities without spending much on new information technology (IT) infrastructure, training new staff and software licence. Case studies from the United States, Europe, Africa and Asia governments’ spectacle cloud adoption servic...
Abstract The green revolution program (GRP) in Mozambique has taken centre stage in academic circles, and academics and researchers have tussled with various aspects of this subject. While the GRP is meant to reduce the country’s food insecurity and was successfully implemented in some countries like India (Arundhati, 2004), the results have been different in many African countries. In Mozambique, GRP has dramatically impacted on the rights of non-human animals and the physical environment....
ABSTRACT Security Car Using RFID System. This project is designed to enhance vehicle safety systems available. Thus, this project consists of some combination of equipment and components to create a car security system that meets the security features and use more advanced. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is the most reliable way to electronically identify, data capture, control, track, and inventory items using RF communication. Thus the project was produced by using RFID (Radio Freq...
Abstract/Overview In recent years, pet owners have begun to show more consideration for their companion animals, which includes paying more attention to their nutrition. This is thought to be a strategy to protect the welfare and health of their animals. As feed and food, using insects has gained increased interest from industry, investigators, policymakers, and the general public globally. Owing to their rapid biomass turnover and dietary value, consideration of insects to serve as novel...
EXTENDED ABSTRACT Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is an acute, highly contagious viral infection of domestic and wild cloven-hoofed animals. In Tanzania the disease is known to be endemic with periodic outbreaks occurring in different geographical areas. This study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence and socio-economic impact of FMD in relation to livestock movements in a wildlife–livestock interface ecosystem (Serengeti and Bunda Districts) compared to a non-interface ecosystem (Ir...
ABSTRACT Celebrated in 2008, the United Nations International Year of the Potato (IYP) highlighted the important role of the Irish potato in agriculture, the economy and world food security. Globally, agriculture and food security are affected by a number of constraints including land conflicts. As population grows, land becomes scarce and its demand rises. In Uganda and Kisoro District in particular, there is an increasing level of land conflicts needing mitigation among smallholder Irish p...
ABSTRACT The demand for animal products is projected to increase progressively due to extensive urbanization, rapid growth of human population and income dynamics. Despite the potential expansion of beef and dairy production, dairy goat production as an option for enhancing food security and income generation in Kenya is likely to benefit from this prospect. Essentially, goat milk is nutritionally superior to the cow milk. Although the importance of goat milk is empirically known, its valuati...
