ABSTRACT Today despite the scientific and technological strides that have turned the world into a village, the long cherished values of a true traditional village life are rarely found in the prevailing global village. The fact seems to be that while human scientific and technological advancements have made life on earth more convenient and comfortable, it has failed to make it more decent, peaceful and sustainable. While studies abound on how the Islamic socioeconomic, political and ethical ...
Abstract: This is a conceptual article on innovative learning/instruction setting for adaptive expertise. Currently, the dominant learning approach is socio-constructivist – where in learning process, a learner actively constructs knowledge in the existing social context through social interaction and recognition with others. Learning should be constructive, self-regulated, sensitive to context and collaborative. The intended expectation of learning in diverse disciplines is to achieve adap...
ABSTRACT A traffic light also known as a traffic signal, stop light and go light, robot or semaphore is a signally device positioned at four (cross) junction, pedestrian crossing or other locations in other to indicate when it is safe to drive or walk using a universal color code ( and in precise sequence for those that are color blind). Traffic light system operate on a turning mechanism that changes the light after a given interval of 7-120 seconds depending on the traffic congestion on t...
Abstract: The research on which this thesis is based was carried out as part of a multidisciplinary project, “SolarMal”, which aimed to evaluate proof of principle for the elimination of malaria from Rusinga Island by augmenting the existing national malaria control programme tools with mass trapping of mosquitoes. As electricity was required to run the mosquito traps and most residents had no electricity, solar systems were also installed,providing lighting and telephone charging as wel...

ABSTRACT Most federations face the problem of accommodation, which mainly concerns the management of diverse competing interests within the system. There is paucity of studies that integrate issues of power sharing; revenue allocation and political restructuring that have militated against effective political accommodation in Nigeria’s federalism. The study examined how these contentious issues were managed within the period 1993-2007 towards achieving an effective and successful federal f...
Abstract In the first quarter of 2020, the world went into lockdown in an attempt to control the spread of COVID-19 disease. As a result, cases of gender-based violence (GBV) increased exponentially. In Kenya, there was a reported increase of 36% in GBV cases in 2020, indicating a correlation between the COVID-19 pandemic and the surge in GBV incidents. Despite several accounts of this phenomenon, the perspectives of the victims have not received adequate attention. This study aimed to inves...
This study was conducted to characterize flock size, composition, productivity, motivational drivers, and breed selection criteria in village chicken production systems of lowlands, midlands, and highlands of Ethiopia. Data were collected at 360 rural households of which 120 were from lowland, 160 midland, and 80 highlands. A standardized questionnaire was used to collect the data using person to person interview method. Data were analyzed using the various statistical procedures of statistic...
ABSTRACT Background The population structure of the causative agents of human malaria, Plasmodium species including the most serious agent Plasmodium falciparum, depends on the local epidemiological and demographic situations, such as the incidence of infected people, the vector transmission intensity and migration of inhabitants (i.e. exchange between sites).One of the major characteristics of malaria parasites is their genetic diversity and an increasing number of studies have reported on t...
ABSTRACT This study examines patterns of language use among a group of Gorowa children, youths and elders to establish whether Kiswahili is thriving or the local languages are threatenedby a potential shift. This study was intended to investigate the factors influencing language shift from Gorowa to Kiswahili and the importance it has, and the negative effects of language shift or Kiswahili usage on Gorowa community in Babati district. The main techniques employed in data collection are ques...
Abstract/Overview The variation in three NADP-linked dehydrogenase enzymes; glucose-6-phosphate dehydro- genase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and shikimate dehydrogenase as well as alpha and beta esterases was determined in 24 cultivars of Camellia sinensis and 2 other species of Camellia; C. japonica and C. irrawadiensis, using specific activity staining. The isozyme pro- files partitioned the cultivars according to their phylogenetic origins; (China, Assam, Cambodia and Japan). At...

Abstract: Multiplicity of infection (MOI) and genetic diversity of P. falciparum infections are important surrogate indicators for assessing malaria transmission intensity in different regions of endemicity. Determination of MOI and diversity of P. falciparum among asymptomatic carriers will enhance our understanding of parasite biology and transmission to mosquito vectors. This study examined the MOI and genetic diversity of P. falciparum parasite populations circulating in Mbita, a region ...

Abstract Forests play many diverse and multifaceted roles in our life. However, there is an emerging nexus between forest and national security in many countries, especially within the sub-Saharan region of Africa. Contrary to the noble objectives for which they were constituted, many forest reserves have become a source of security concern both at the local and national scale. In the light of this, we examined the relationship between forest and national security in Nigeria, with a view to ...
