ABSTRACT The Zimbabwean economy is in a transition from multinational conglomerates dominated economy into a locally owned entrepreneurial system. However although fairly new, local entrepreneurship now owns the gateway to Zimbabwean competitiveness in the global market hence this study sought to assess its competitiveness going into the future. The research sought to analyses the competitiveness of local entrepreneur’s products as compared to international products brought by internationa...
ABSTRACT Background: Group B streptococcus(GBS) infection is a leading cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity.It is usually associated with many pregnancy-related complications such as; urinary tract infections and sepsis for maternal and neonatal. Awareness of maternal and neonatal GBS colonization, predictors and antimicrobial susceptibility is essential in determining the rate of transmission and an antibiotic with minimal selective pressure for resistance against GBS. Despite the preva...
ABSTRACT Organizations are becoming project-oriented thus must continuously change their human resource management (HRM) practices in order to adapt and respond to changing and temporary work schedules. The objectives of this study were to; Determine the influence of management on project performance of organizations within Westlands; Assess impacts of staff welfare issues on project performance of organizations within Westlands; Determine the relationship between technical expertise and pro...
Abstract Background: Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a common condition estimated to affect around 100000 patients each year in the UK.. it is associated with increased mortality in some thrombotic disorders . Objectives: This study conducted to assess the serum uric acid, and albumin in DVT patients. Methods: This was case control study based on 50 DVT patients as cases, and 50 apparently healthy individuals as controls (age and gender were matched between two groups) Blood sample was taken...
ABSTRACT Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a multi-factorial condition of the eye that results in symptoms of stress and eye discomfort among electronic device users. It causes considerable chronic vision-related morbidity and reduced work productivity. Ninety percent and 75% of computer users globally and in Africa, respectively, suffer from CVS. The risk factors for CVS include prolonged period of electronic device use, glare, refractive error, short viewing distance and inappropriate seati...

ABSTRACT Computer simulations are well documented in developed countries but little is known about them in developing countries like Ghana. The main objective of the study was to examine the effects of using computer simulations in teaching chemical bonding on cognitive achievement of learners and to compare the results with those of learners who were taught using the traditional method (lecture). The study employed a non-randomized control-group pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental desi...
ABSTRACTIn Nigeria today, it’s a well known fact that mathematics is one of the subjects that student find difficult to understand and pass for one reason or the other. The reason why student have this problem varies possible due to lack of good teachers and teaching styles of lectures and orientation. Some teachers might be good mathematician but might not know how to impact the knowledge on the students. Another factor is orientation when the student are made of believe that mathematics ...
ABSTRACT A library system is an information system that serves a population of users. The term “Information system” is normally used in situations where an organization is considered as a whole with respect to its information requirement and information utilization. In a library environment, “indexing has remained the means of text and document identification. Comprehensively, indexing is a term, which is applied to many compilation and arrangement of text and documents which is ei...
ABSTRACT In the world over, it is indisputable that the introduction of computer technology in different facets of life, has virtually transformed and enhanced information processing which is very vital in any organization or parastatals of government. Not only as means of information processing, the technology has also proved to the faceted means of information retrieval which forms the nucleus of this study. This research word centers on using a computer to record, store and retrieve rep...
ABSTRACT The study is sought to improve the performance and interest of form two students’ of Chereponi senior high school in selected topics in biology using computer assisted instruction. The study was carried out in Chereponi in the northern region of Ghana. Action research design with mixed method approach was used in the study. A purposive sampling technique was used to select a sample of 198 students from the total population of form two biology students in the northern region....
ABSTRACT The study was aimed at developing mathematical models on the hydraulic performance of Sandbags as Checkdam for erosion control. Pilot studies were carried out at two sites. Site ‘A’ was a natural gully at a location in Ezinihitte-Mbaise, Imo State while site ‘B’ was an artificial channel excavated on the slope of Otamiri River at Federal University of Technology, Owerri. Artificial runoff was simulated into site ‘B’ by pumping water from Otamiri River. Sandbags of var...
ABSTRACT Introduction Satisfactory allocation of resources is essential as far as efforts to combat HIV/AIDS menace, especially in Africa. In determining HIV patients location, the nature of services must be in line with the behavioral, geographic and the social characteristics of the patients. This study, therefore, examined the spatial distribution of HIV cases and accessibility to treatment centers in the Sunyani Municipality. Methods To enable spatial analysis of HIV patterns, the locatio...
ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to assess the utilization of teaching space facilities at Our Lady of Apostle College of Education at Cape Coast in the 2006/2007 academic year. The study sought to provide information on time, space and global utilization rates in order to plan for short and long term admissions of student into the College. The research design adopted in the study was the case study. Purposive, stratified and simple random sampling techniques were used to select samples...
ABSTRACT The numerical solution of the linear system Ax = b, arises in many branches of applied mathematics, sciences, engineering and statistics. The most common source of these problems is in the numerical solutions of ordinary and partial differential equations, as well as integral equations. The process of discretization by means of finite differences often leads to the solution of linear systems, whose solution is an approximation to the solution of the original differential equation. If...
