Abstract The purpose of this study is to come up with a system that allows online hybrid sales analysis The main contributing reason for the development of this system is that the company has no particular system which is used for predicting sales The research main objectives were to make a system which permits compilations of agents sales and calculating the revenue that have been collected at a particular time. Different alternatives where looked at and these include improving the current s...
ABSTRACT With the advent of digital age, it is inevitable for Real estate’s organizations to reinforce security measures to protect data form loss, unauthorized viewing or corruption. ~l’he need to secure stored data and data on transit in a network birthed, and also to ensure data is managed and controlled with efficient measures, to avoid redundancy, inconsistency, incompatible file formats and fixed queries among other limitations of paperwork. The gist of this project revolves around ...
ABSTRACT Optimal allocation of products to downstream locations is a major requirement for minimizing the distribution costs associated with supply chain systems. Unfortunately many supply chain managers rely on, their intuition and feelings to make these allocation decisions. In this study a mathematical model was developed for minimizing the distribution cost in a multi-product 2-echleon supply chain system. The distribution system of a leading bottling plant in Nigeria was studied to under...
Abstract: Napier grass remains an important strategic grass species in east African mixed crop-livestock systems. However, production of several varieties of the grass remains constrained by phytoplasmic disease, Napier stunt disease (NSD), which is transmitted by the leafhopper, Maiestas banda. For smallholder farmers of western Kenya who rely on the grass for livestock feed and pest control in push-pull farming systems, effective control strategies of the disease and the vector remain elus...
Abstract: Avocado (Persea americana) fruits are an important source of income and a nutritious food for small-scale growers and other stakeholders involved in farming along the Afrotropical highlands of Taita Hills and Mount Kilimanjaro in Kenya and Tanzania, respectively. Avocado fruits are infested by several insect pests, namely the Asian invasive fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera:Tephritidae), and the false codling moth, Thaumatotibia leucotreta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Tortr...
ABSTRACT The main objective of the study was to assess the impact of jatropha farming on food security to small-scale farmers in Rukwa and Arusha regions. To achieve that objective, a simple random sampling was used to obtain jatropha famers. Two hundred and sixty (260) respondents were randomly selected; among them were 130 jatropha farmers, which involved 60 jatropha farmers from Monduli district and 70 jatropha farmers from Mpanda district. Other respondents included in the sample were non...
ABSTRACT This study seeks to analyse the appropriateness of the Early Warning Systems (EWS) in the management of Climate change impacts in Uganda. The appropriateness of the EWS in this study is conceived as an independent variable while the management of Climate Change impacts is the dependent variable. The EWS shall be measured in terms of risk knowledge among the study population, availability of technical monitoring, and communication about the risk and the response capabilities of the co...
Abstract: The use of electronic voting systems (EVS’s) is seen as an alternative to traditional manual voting because it aims at increasing efficiency, lowering cost of running election, reducing counting mistakes and improving the accuracy of the results. This has led to electronic voting systems being adopted in most countries to replace traditional paper-based voting systems. Currently, Botswana uses a traditional paper-based voting system. This method of voting comes with several chall...
Abstract: Spatiotemporal information on crops and cropping systems can provide useful insights into disease outbreak mechanisms in croplands. In September 2011, a severe outbreak of Maize Lethal Necrosis (MLN) disease was reported in Bomet County, Kenya. We aimed to detect severely MLN-infected fields and discriminate mono, inter, and continuous maize cropping systems. We collected in-situ MLN severity observations and acquired multi-date and multi-sensor data viz., RapidEye (RE), Sentinel-1...

ABSTRACT Performance management remains a test for numerous organizations. The study sought to investigate performance management implementation in Ghana’s Local Government using the Sefwi Wiawso Municipal Assembly as a case study. Specifically, the study investigated the current performance management system of the Sefwi Wiawso Municipal Assembly as well as the challenges faced by the Assembly in implementing its performance management system. The study adopted a qualitative approach and ...
Abstract The Judicial Service as the third arm of the government of Ghana is the body mandated by the country’s constitution to dispense justice in the country, in a manner that peace, tranquility and stability prevail to ensure socio-economic development. In court operations in the country however, effectiveness, efficiency and speed of justice delivery are often reported to be very low.The main source of this problem as reported in most judicial services annual reports show that the probl...
ABSTRACTOne of the challenges of modern information retrieval is to rank the most relevant documents at the top of the large system output. This calls for choosing the proper methods to evaluate the system performance. The traditional performance measures, such as precision and recall, are based on binary relevance judgment and are not appropriate for multi-grade relevance. The main objective of this paper is to propose a framework for system evaluation based on user preference of documents. ...
Abstract This project attempts to identify the implications of commercial pineapple farming in the Awutu-Effutu-Senya District for farm workers and communities. Primary data were gathered using questionnaires, interviews as well as observations made in the farms and communities. Secondary data sources included published and unpublished official documents, new papers and the Internet. The report concludes that although pineapple farms offer employment opportunities for both citizens and migra...
