Adam Badwi, Andi Alim, Zainuddin, Abdul Gafur, Muhammad Azwar, Adhyatma, Dedi Maulana, Munadhir – February 2021 – Page No.: 01-08
The trash management of the Terong Market so far has not been appropriate with environmental-friendly trash management methods and techniques, resulting in negative impacts on public health and the environment so that researchers need to pay special attention to the relationship between the trash management system and the density of flies in the Makassar Terong Market. This type of research is an observational study with a cross-sectional study design. The number of samples in this study was 164 kiosks that will be selected by a sampling system, namely Simple Random Sampling. The results of this study show that there is a significant relationship between trash storage and the density of flies in the Makassar Terong Market, the p-value = 0.010. There is a significant influence between trash collection and the density of flies in the Terong Makassar Market, the p-value = 0.023. There is a significant influence between trash disposal and the density level of flies in the Makassar Terong Market, the obtained p-value = 0.003 and the most influential variable is the storage variable with a p-value of 0.001 p <0.05). The level of fly density was significantly related to the storage, collection and disposal of trash, where the storage aspect was the most related aspect. Thus, the real effort is needed in trash management that meets health requirements.

Haematology, Serum Biochemistry and Egg Lipid Profile of Laying Hens Fed Diets Supplemented With Moringa Oleifera and Senna Occidentalis Leaf Meal Composite Mixture
Obasoyo, D.O. and Omoikhoje, S.O- February 2021 – Page No.: 09-16
A feeding trial was carried out to assess the effect of Moringaoleifera leaf meal (MOLM) and Senna occidentalis leaf meal (SOLM) composite mixture on their haematology, serum chemistry and egg lipid profile of total of 150 Isa brown layers of sixteen weeks of age. Thirty (30) chicks were randomly selected and allocated to each of the five (5) treatment groups (T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5) in a completely randomized design (CRD) in a battery cage system. Each treatment group contained three (3) replicates with ten (10) birds per replicate and the feeding trial lasted for ten (10) weeks. The experimental treatment included the control (maize – soya bean meal basal diet with oxytetracyline administered to the birds through drinking water) as T1, T2 (same basal diet was mixed with 0.5% MOLM + 2.0% SOLM), T3 (same basal diet was added with 1.0% MOLM + 1.5% SOLM), T4 (same basal diet was added with 1.5% MOLM + 1.0% SOLM) and T5 (same basal diet was mixed with 2.0% MOLM + 0.5% SOLM) and T2 to T5were without antibiotic in the water. MOLM and SOLM blend significantly (P<0.05) affected all the haematological and serum biochemical indices measured except for creatinine values that were not affected. Total cholesterol, triglyeride, low density lipoprotein (LDL) and very density lipoprotein (vLDL) values of eggs laid by the hens were reduced significantly (P<0.05) but high density lipoprotein (HDL) values were increased significantly (P<0.05) by the supplementation of MOLM and SOLM mixture compared to the control group. Therefore, a mixture of 2.0%MOLM and 0.5%SOLM could be included in the diets laying hens without any adverse effect on the blood profileand to improve the lipid profile of eggs as well as an alternative to antibiotics in laying hens.

Modelling, Design and Kinematic Control Strategies for Snake-like Robot locomotion – A Review
T. O. Ayogu & O. O. Obe – February 2021 – Page No.: 17-23
Research on the development of robots that mimic biological snakes has been a major trend in the past few years. This work reviews the major research efforts and contributions to snake-like robots focusing on previous research efforts on snake-like robots modelling techniques, snake-like robots physical design, the kinematic and morphological control strategies for snake-like robot locomotion and practical applications of snake-like robots. The possibility of designing locomotion control model based on Reinforcement learning for snake-like robot was also investigated. The reviewed literatures revealed that even though more research works have considered snake-like robot locomotion on environments without obstacles or lab environments, there is now a growing interest in designing and developing snake-like robots for locomotion in environments with obstacles and that could be used in real life applications rather than in the lab environment. The review also shows that application of Reinforcement Learning method in designing control model for snake-like robot locomotion rather than the traditional and conventional control methods proposed by majority of the literatures on snake-like robots is attracting a lot of research interest.

The Effect of Toting up Carrageenan to Some Quality Components of Ice Cream
E. Basuki, A. Alamsyah, M.Fatoni , I.N. Husna, A. Prarudiyanto- February 2021 – Page No.: 24-29
This study aims to determine the effect of toting up carrageenan to the quality component of ice cream. Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) was used in this experiment, namely the addition of carrrageenan (0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5% and 0.7%). Parameters to be observed were chemical properties (fat content and reducing sugar levels, and physical properties including organoleptic tests (taste, texture and aroma). Data Analysis were tested by ANOVA and continued using the orthogonal polynomial method for chemical parameters while the physical parameters used the Least Significant Difference (LSD). The results indicate that the toting up of carrageenan has a significant effect on fat content but does not have a significant effect on reducing sugar levels in ice cream. However, in the organoleptic test, the taste, texture and aroma hedoni c gave a significantly different effect, but for the organoleptic test of taste and texture, the scoring also gave significantly different effects but did not significantly affect the organoleptic aroma test. The toting up of 0.5% carrageenan used in making ice cream is the best treatment, both in terms of taste, texture and aroma preferred by the panelists.

Ugochi E. Ekwugha, Obenade Moses, P.O. Anyaegbu, Okereafor C. Jennifer- February 2021 – Page No.: 30-43
With growing interest in ginger and turmeric, many health professionals, researchers, farmers, and food and beverage professionals are turning their attention towards these healthy spices. In order to cultivate new ideas and further grow the industry, University of Abuja has gave the opportunity to conduct this research on the university research farm within the permanent site during the 2018 raining season to investigate the performance of ginger and turmeric as influenced by cropping system and NPK fertilizer 15:15;15. The experiment was performed based on split plot system laid in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 3 replicates used in the study. The treatment with their various level and the intercrop were organized using the various combinations indicated and were filtered into the design used (RCBD). Each replicate contains 12 plots and separated from the plot by one meter pathway. Hence a total of 36 experimental plots were used in the research. The result of the experiment has shown significance in the use of fertilizer and also when compare between monocropping and intercropping of the plant discovery was made that there was not much significant difference. Hence ginger and turmeric can be cultivated on same plot without effect. The plant with N. P. K fertilizer of 300g did better than the 50g and 150g respectively in the height, leaf number, fresh leaf and dry leaf weight, rhizomes fresh and rhizomes dry as well as other secondary analysis. Therefore, it is recommended and can be approved for large scale planting and production of ginger and turmeric.

Effect of Computer Simulation on Students Academic Achievement and Interest in Educational Technology in Colleges of Education in Niger State
Adam, A., Mamuda, H. L., Adedoh, Y. A. & Isaiah, O. O – February 2021 – Page No.: 50-56
This study was designed to investigate the effect of Computer Simulation on students’ academic achievement and interest in Education Technology in Colleges of Education in Niger State. A quasi-experimental design was adopted for the study. 334 (162 males and 172 females) Educational Technology Students from the two colleges of education in Niger State were involved in the study. Two instruments Educational Technology Achievement Test (EDTAT) and Educational Technology Interest Inventory (EDTII) were used for the study. The two instruments were subjected to face and content validation. The instruments were also trial tested in two schools outside the population using test retest method and from the data collected, the reliability coefficient of the instrument were obtained. The EDTAT had 0.83 using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient while EDTAT had 0.80 with Kuder- Richardson 20 (K-R 20) for internal consistency. The Cronbach’s Alpha Technique was used to establish the reliability coefficient of EDTII with the coefficient of 0.90. The validated instruments were administered as both pre-test and post-test while the data obtained were analyzed using mean and standard deviation for the research questions and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) for the hypotheses. The findings among others showed that teaching Education technology with computer simulation enhanced the students’ acquisition to construct knowledge and career skills and interest in education technology better than conventional teaching method (CTM). The implication of the findings include that technical teachers should use computer simulation so that the students can acquire knowledge for construction and be able to develop in their technological skill. Based on the findings, among others it was recommended that workshops, seminars and conferences should be organized for teachers in order to sensitize them on the need to use efficient learning approach such as Computer Simulation in teaching Education Technology.

The purpose of the study was to establish the effect of women entrepreneurship on the sustainability of rural livelihoods. The objective of the paper being to determine factors that influence entrepreneurship, to as certain factors that hinder women entrepreneurship and to suggest strategies to enhance women entrepreneurship. The review paper established that women entrepreneurship is mainly driven by push and pull factors as well as extrinsic and intrinsic factors. It was also established that women entrepreneurs were mostly affected by social and cultural gender-based inequalities and biases, psychological factors and role conflict when trying to sustain their livelihoods. These challenges being some how emanating from them being women. The study recommended the government to provide financial support and trainings to women entrepreneurs. Also there is need of networking so that women entrepreneurs will learn from other successful entrepreneurs.

Francis Abban – Acquah & Joseph Coleman – February 2021 – Page No.: 74-77
The study aimed at assessing the effectiveness of 3D molecular models for drawing structures of aliphatic hydrocarbons at Wiawso College of Education in the Western North Region of Ghana. The research design was Quasi experimental, Purposive sampling technique was used to select all the sixty-five(65) students in the second-year science class. The main instruments used in the collection of the data were tests and questionnaire. The scores obtained from the use ofchalk board illustrations and3D molecular modelswere analysed usinginferential statistics.The results obtained from the statistical analysis showed that there was significant difference instudents’ performance in the use of chalk board illustrations and 3D molecular models.The analysis of the questionnaire showed that students generally appreciated the use of the 3D molecular models in the drawing structures of aliphatic hydrocarbons. Further research is also needed on the topic; specially to investigate the incorporation of computer-generated structures to enhance teaching and learning at Colleges of Education in Ghana

The Phenomenographic Analytical Framework in Science, Technology and Engineering Education Research
Fatokun, Jonathan Olanrewaju – February 2021 – Page No.: 78-84
Phenomenographic analytical paradigm helps to elicit qualitatively, variations of ways of understanding of interviewees through an in-depth data collection and analysis process. It helps to delineate the different ways people conceptualise, interpret and perceive a given phenomenon that appears intertwined with several other ones when investigated. Given that, there are embedded skills and practices that are integral, core and critical in the teaching and learning process in science, technology, engineering and mathematics discipline that do not carry equal glamour in policy declaration,curriculum implementation and other practices. Science, technology, and engineering teaching practices has multi-tasks intertwined together that require proper coordination and harnessing of all the tasks to enhance the holistic training of the graduates. In this article, particular attention is drawn to the application of phenomenographic methodology to qualitative research in science, technology, and engineering phenomena that students learn collectively and simultaneously in a cluster.

Cultural Influences on Traditional and Modern Architecture in Ijebu-Ode
Kayode Olatunji Kazeem, Ayodele Emmanuel Ikudayisi, Oluwatobi Gbenga Adelakun – February 2021 – Page No.: 85-92
Technology, available materials, economy, culture and host of other factors influence man’s dwelling and play important roles in determining the type of building he inhabits. However, little research has been carried out in order to determine the influences of culture on both traditional and modern architecture in Nigeria. The aim of this research project, therefore, is to determine and compare the influences of culture on the traditional and modern building types in Nigeria using Ijebu-Ode as a case study. Questionnaires were randomly administered both in Ita-Alapo and Obalende representing traditional and modern areas of the town respectively. Also, building typologies were randomly selected in both areas and were compared in terms of building quality, form and techniques. The results gathered were then analyzed descriptively with the use of tables and charts showing their frequencies, mean and rank. The analysis revealed that while security was the first factor that influences the types of building in the modern area (Obalende), it was the people’s family structure that determines their building type in the traditional area (Ita-Alapo). The research concluded by recommending that Nigerian architects should always endeavor to consider and incorporate the people’s culture into their designs, especially when designing where they will live.

Effect of Levetiracetam on Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy Related Quality of Life
Asha Thomas, Reshma VB, Hema S – February 2021 – Page No.: 93-97
Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy constitutes 5-10% of idiopathic generalized epileptic syndromes. This study was aimed at the efficacy and tolerability of levetiracetam and its effect on the quality of life of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. This study includes a total of 17 patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy who were under levetiracetam treatment. Levetiracetam showed a significant reduction in seizure frequency at the review (after three months) from baseline (p=0.002). And the tolerability was assessed from the occurrence of adverse drug reactions. Headache, somnolence, dizziness, weight gain were found to be the most common side effects of levetiracetam therapy. Since the quality of life is an important treatment outcome indicator in epilepsy, the disease-specific quality of life was measured using the QOLIE-31 (18 years or older) and QOLIE-AD-48 (11 to 17 years old). The study results also showed a greater benefit with the introduction of levetiracetam as there were marked improvements in each dimension of the quality of life and also the total score.

Impact of Development Budget Deficit on Gross County Product of Counties in Kenya
Habil O. Onyango, Scholastica A. Odhiambo, Evans O. Kiganda – February 2021 – Page No.: 98-104
Globally, the performance of any economy is guided by the proportion of productive resources dedicated towards supporting its needs. Whenever their availability is low and cannot support adequately the economic needs, contribute to economic instability and this an issue of concern for many countries. Kenya established county governments in 2013 and since then, worrying trends in growth of development budget deficit (DBD) and Gross County Product (GCP) have been registered. Between 2013 and 2017 the average development budget deficit increased from 1036.19 million shillings to 1467.94 million shillings, while the average Gross County Product increased from 90.721 billion shillings to 163.259 billion shillings. However, some county governments have not realized the increase in their GCP as much, which becomes a worrying trend. Literature has given great focus on the aggregate budget deficit, while majorly considering data at the national level. The available studies also show no consensus whether these deficits have negative, positive or neutral effect on growth of an economy. The purpose of this study was to establish the impact of development budget deficit on Gross County Product of counties in Kenya. The study used panel data from 2013 to 2017 for all the 47 counties in Kenya, sourced from Kenya National Bureau of Statistics and Controller of Budget reports. A correlational research design was used, with the study modelled on Solow Swan’s neoclassical economic growth theory. The panel estimation method of Random Effects as preferred by the Hausman test was used to estimate and interpret results of autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model. The results showed that development budget deficit had a coefficient of 0.21 with p-value of 0.056 while the coefficient of its lagged value was 0.06 with a p-value of 0.001. This implied that development budget deficit of the past had a positive impact on Gross County Product. Based on these findings, the study concluded that past increase in development budget deficit increases growth of Gross County. Based on these findings, the study recommended for spending this deficit on projects that help create capital stock, caution when spending these deficits in a way that can spur growth even in the current year, and finally for policies that helps in higher absorption rate of development budget allocations.

Performance of Equity Mutual Fund in Indonesia: The Effect of Mutual Fund and Macroeconomic Factors
Nurul Wahyuni Wulandari, Zaenal Arifin – February 2021 – Page No.: 105-111
This study examines the influence of mutual fund factors and macroeconomic factors on the performance of equity funds in Indonesia. This study uses fund size, expense ratio, turnover ratio, and market timing ability as mutual fund factors. Meanwhile, the macroeconomic factor use inflation, economic growth, and the money supply. Mutual fund performance is measured using actual return and Jensen alpha. The sample used in this study is equity funds listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from June 2016 to May 2020. There are 53 equity mutual funds obtained as a sample. This study uses panel data regression to analyze data. The results showed that mutual fund factors and macroeconomic factors as a whole affect the performance of equity funds in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the test results for each variable show that the expense ratio, market timing ability, economic growth, and money supply have significant effects on the performance of equity funds in Indonesia. On the other side, fund size, turnover ratio, and inflation variables do not have a significant effect on the performance of equity funds in Indonesia.

Dr. J.A Prasansha Kumari – February 2021 – Page No.: 112-121
Poverty is one of the main socio-economic issues holding back the development of economic of the underdeveloped countries. Microfinance is financial services provided to poor households of individuals who have no access to formal financial programs.

This study aims to observe the extent to which the dimensions introduced in modern microfinance have contributed to the eradication of poverty. Data were collected using Likert scale questionnaire with total of 496 borrowers benefited under Samurdhi Micro Finance programs in Sri Lanka. Collected data analyzed confirmatory factor analysis by using AMOS 21.

Updates on herbal remedy for kidney stone chronic disease
Ravindra B. Malabadi, Neelambika T. Meti, Raju K. Chalannavar – February 2021 – Page No.: 122-134
This review paper highlights the potentiality of medicinal plants in the kidney stone disease activity. Urolithiasis is a common disorder which has affected a considerable number of people worldwide. The problem of urinary stones or calculi is one of the major health disorder and many remedies including herbal have been employed. Kidney stones are called as renal calculi. Kidney stones are associated with chronic kidney disease. Kidney stones may cause extreme pain and blockage of urine flow. Kidney stones are a risk factor for chronic kidney disease and progression to end-stage renal disease. Persons with kidney stones are more likely to have traditional risk fac¬tors for chronic kidney disease (e.g., hyper¬tension, pre-existing kidney disease, diabetes, proteinuria, albuminuria). Drug therapy medications, such as protease inhibitors, antibiotics, and some diuretics, increase the risk of some types of kidney stones. Managing diet, medication use, and nutrient intake can help to prevent the formation of kidney stones. Obe¬sity increases the risk of kidney stones. Medicinal plants are used as urolithotriptic agents. This review paper is aimed to explore and documentation of available herbal treatment for kidney stones. Some of the plant species listed in this review paper have the potential active compounds and may aid researchers for the future study of natural products, which may be useful to treat kidney stones.

Role of herbal medicine for controlling coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) disease (COVID-19)
Ravindra B. Malabadi, Neelambika T. Meti, Raju K. Chalannavar – February 2021 – Page No.: 135-165
This review paper highlights the use of herbal medicine in the management of the coronavirus disease COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, which has caused a worldwide outbreak of respiratory illness. This is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is zoonotic infecting both animal and human. Vaccines are the most promising solution to mitigate new viral strains. The Indian system of holistic medicine known as “Ayurveda” plays an important role in controling the viral disease SARS-CoV-2 and other health disorders. Dietary therapy and herbal medicine could be a complementary preventive therapy for COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2). Plants have been used as a expression systems for the production of diagnostic reagents and pharmaceutical proteins often described as ‘molecular farming. On the basis of literature survy presented, some of the plant secondary metabolites that showed prominent antiviral activity against coronaviruses SARS-CoV-2 through impeding the main machinery used in their pathogenesis and replication cycle. The in vitro, in vivo, and in silico investigations revealed numerous plant-derived compounds with promising anti- SARS-CoV and anti- SARS CoV-2 activity. Therefore, this review gathered all antiviral plants in a single platform to facilitate the laboratory-based research for the development of novel drug/molecular therapeutics to overcome the SARS-CoV-2 and future pandemic situations. Further detailed clinical trial experiments should be conducted for the scientific validation.

Exploring the Influence of Corporate Governance Pillars in Promoting Sustainable Learning in Zimbabwean Rural Schools
Chikuvadze Pinias, Magutsa Lydia K. & Gonzo Getrude – February 2021 – Page No.: 165-171
Research on contemporary discourses on educational management methodologies has given the contextual realities contributing to low-grade infrastructure development and maintenance in schools. This paper sought to gain insight into the corporate governance pillars’ influence in promoting sustainable learning in Zimbabwean rural schools. Qualitative approach guided the data generation, analysis and discussion. Sources of data that included conference proceedings, journal articles, textbooks, newspapers and policy circulars were purposively sampled. Researchers were chiefs aided by literature method and critical policy analysis in data generation. Generated was analysed in concurrence with emerging themes in line with the requirements of research integrity. Findings from the literature revealed that corporate governance through stakeholders’ responsibility can promote transparency and accountability in school activities. Thus stakeholders’ actions affect the school’s learning environment either positively or negatively. Also, when in control of the system stakeholders can create a favourable environment for a well-organized development of learning infrastructure and resources. In conclusion, the interaction of accountability, transparency, control and responsibility in school management creates an environment that promotes sustainable learning in rural schools. We recommend a policy shift placing greater significance on corporate governance pillars as the cornerstone for effective and efficient management in rural schools.

Applications of nanotechnology in vaccine development for coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) disease (Covid-19)
Ravindra B. Malabadi, Neelambika T. Meti, Raju K. Chalannavar – February 2021 – Page No.: 191-198
This review paper highlights the use of nanotechnology as a new opportunities for the development of novel strategies in terms of prevention, detection, diagnosis and treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) disease (covid-19) infection is characterized by severe respiratory diseases, including bronchiolitis, pneumonia, high fever, throat infections, and common cold. SARS-CoV-2 infection is not limited to any particular class, and people of all age groups are vulnerable. The coronavirus is airborne mainly transmitted through droplets from the infected person or symptomatic patients or from asymptomatic people. The transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from one human to another human is much faster, which has already resulted in its spread around the world and led the WHO to declare the covid-19 outbreak as a global pandemic. These outbreaks have tested the limits of healthcare systems and have posed serious questions about anagement using conventional therapies and diagnostic tools. Therefore, new controlling measures to overcome this covid-19 pandemic is the development of a suitable and cost effective vaccines and therapeutics. Hence nanotechnology platforms in the development of vaccines and therapeutic drugs have been developed based on nanomedicine, and have the potential to become innovative alternatives for overcoming COVID-19. A nano-based (mRNA-lipid nanoparticle) formulation for SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and therapeutics is being developed as a delivery vehicle and found successful.

Possible links between United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal Number Two (UN-SDG2) and the Religio-Cultural aspects of the Chibwelamushi Harvest Ceremony of the Lala and Swaka people of Zambia’s Central Province
Dorothy Ngabwa, Charles Mwendabai Namafe and Judith Lubasi Ibubala-Ziwa – February 2021 – Page No.: 199-207
The study explored possible links between United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal Number two (UN-SDG2) and the religio-cultural aspects of the Chibwelamushi Harvest Ceremony (CHC). The study employed qualitative approaches involving a realist ethnography design under the social constructivism paradigm in order to effectively address the issues raised by the research question. The method of data collection included, observation, interviews and document analysis, using observation checklist, the semi structured interview guides activity and document analysis checklist. The sample of 12 interviewees included one national chairperson and secretary of CHC, 2 representatives from Insaka ye-Lala, 2 traditional affairs officers, 2 extension officers, 2 ordinary members and one senior chief from each tribe. The study revealed how rituals, songs composed during CHC, showcasing best samples of crops from each chiefdom, building of traditional granaries, inviting seed companies, teaching of economic skills and crafts and the concept of kumulima chipuba might help implement UN-SDG2.The results of the study revealed how rituals, songs composed during CHC, the samples of crops showcased from each chiefdom, inviting seed companies, building of granaries, teaching of economic and life skills and the concept of chiefdom inspection (kumulima chipuba) might help to implement UN-SDG2. Arising from the findings, the researcher proposes among others: the celebration of CHC to be held in zones of all chiefdoms in order to accord most of the CHC attendants a chance to have first hand information concerning religio-cultural teachings and agriculture, and the custodians of traditional heritage to work hand in hand with extension officers and seed companies to sensitize and teach the Lala and Swaka people how they could have a better yield as well as the importance of preserving what was produced. Based on the findings, the following recommendation among others was proposed for considerations: The custodians of traditional heritage and leading farmers to incorporate the extension officers and seed companies to conduct awareness campaigns on issues of religio-cultural teachings that focus on food security and agriculture, and sustainable development.

E-Learning in the ‘New Normal’ on Students at Kwame Nkrumah University in Zambia: Inclusive or Exclusive
Magasu Oliver, Mileji Pauline, Lubbungu Jive – February 2021 – Page No.: 208-214
The main purpose of this study was to establish the inclusiveness of e-learning amidst COVID-19 on undergraduate students on full-time and distance learning at Kwame Nkrumah University. The population for the study involved a total number of thirty-five students from Kwame Nkrumah University who provided complete information regarding the survey. A physical and an online descriptive survey were conducted on different social media platforms like student WhatsApp groups and Zoom from 10th May to 8 July 2020 to collect data. This research took a qualitative approach. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. An interview guide and semi-structured questionnaires were used to collect data. The main findings were that during the quarantine period, around 20% of learners were involved in e-learning. Most of the learners used android mobile phones for attending e-learning lessons. Further, the study revealed that students were facing various problems relating to failure to pay 50% of the fees as a condition to accessing online e-learning lectures, not having smartphones, lack of orientation on the part of the students, poor internet connectivity, and unfavorable study environment at home. Students from remote areas of Zambia and those with impairment were the most affected in terms of accessibility to the e-learning platform. As a result of the many challenges students were facing during this period, this study among other recommendations recommends to Kwame Nkrumah University management to devise a flexible education system that will be inclusive in terms of accessibility and will enforce the skill for employability and productivity.

Identifying the Predisposing Factors and Socioeconomic Impacts of Meningitis: Nigeria Example
Azukaego .N. Nnaji, Daniel .N. Nnaji – February 2021 – Page No.: 215-220
Meningitis is an epidemic prone worldwide disease with severe consequences on lives, functionality and economic state of affected individuals, communities, nations and world at large. While Meningitis outbreaks have regressed in other regions, Sub Saharan Africa still battles with the disease. Nigeria is credited with a long history of Cerebrospinal Meningitis (CSM) epidemics with the worst occurring in 1996 with 11,717 deaths out of 109,580 recorded cases. Despite the seasonality and scope of the disease, (Meningitis belt), severe mortalities and morbidities trail its occurrence. The dearth of scholarly articles in this area of study notwithstanding the magnitude of the problem, is also worrisome. This study aimed at identifying the predisposing factors and socio-economic impacts of Meningitis in Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nigeria.
Methods: A cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted using quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection. It made use of semi structured questionnaire in conjunction with in depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions. Data was collected from 80 participants (53 for quantitative and 27 for qualitative), cutting across experts on meningitis at the three levels of Nigerian government, as well as non-experts at the community level.
Results: The study revealed that the four (4) most important predisposing factors of Meningitis include Weather (+ Heat) (22.0%), overcrowding (21.2%), poor sanitary condition (16.8), and poverty (12.3). Also, four (4) most important socio-economic impacts identified were: Loss of lives (Mortality) (21.6%), Economic burden (17.5%), Permanent disability (Morbidity) (12.9%); and Impoverishment and Loss of productivity (each 12.4%). Morbidity and Mortality yielded 34.5%.
Conclusion: Climatic conditions and socioeconomic factors were essentially found to be the predisposing factors of Meningitis, which leave behind severe negative socioeconomic impacts, especially morbidity and mortality. There was good understanding of these predisposing factors and socioeconomic impacts across board, as well as community levels of FCT, Nigeria.

Use of Virtual Reality as an Alternative Practical Tool in Higher Education during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Noreen Sarai, Dr. Loveness Museva – October 2020 – Page No.: 224-237
This research paper aims to analyse the concept of virtual reality as a practical tool to bridge the gap created by inadequacy of hardware equipment, inability to carry-out physical practical exercises due to the COVID-19 pandemic and expertise to carry out practical work. The research was bounded by the research questions that focused on analysing whether VR systems could be used as alternatives in laboratory work, analysing the impact of using such systems and also identifying the possible challenges likely to be faced alongside their mitigation strategies. The research was based on the philosophy of positivism as the researchers sought to test the possibilities of usage of virtual reality as alternative tools in higher education. The research method used in this study was the mixed method approach as the research employed both qualitative and quantitative data and analysis. The data was obtained through use of questionnaires and checklist and was then analysed statistically. When analysing the impact, an open-software was used by a control group of students who implemented a VR system for research purposes. Students were then evaluated basing on the usage the software. Results were then produced and conclusions drawn on whether VR tools could be used as alternatives in higher learning. Results showed that it is possible to use VR systems as alternatives practical tools in higher learning and showed more of positive impact on the learning process of students. Possible mitigation mechanisms were also established with goal of cabbing the possible challenges likely to be faced when using VR systems. The study recommended the use of VR systems as possible as they were able to enhance retention of knowledge by the students and they were to lighten up the learning space as students show so much interest when learning whilst using them.

Diarrhoea: Knowledge, Attitude and Practice in Three Selected Rural Communities in North Central Nigeria
Funmilayo Jumoke Morebise, Bode Kayode, Nathan Ukuoghene Ikimi – February 2021 – Page No.: 238-243
Diarrhoea has been reported to be the second leading course of death among children under-five years of age globally and Nigeria with high poverty index, accounts for an estimated 250,000 deaths per annum. The objectives of this research are to find out the knowledge, attitude, and practice of mothers so that behavioral changes of mothers can be encourage for them to follow the best scientific methods of prevention of diarrhoea for children under-5years old and reduce the resultant infant mortality rate.
A cross-sectional survey of knowledge, attitude, and practices of diarrhoea among mothers of under-5 years old children in 3 communities in North central Nigeria. Data collected was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 20). P-value was set at ≤ 0.05 and used in cross tabulation using Pearson Chi Square and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Educational level of the mothers was poor, 112(30.1%) had primary education (middle school), 115(30.9%) had secondary education (High school), while 94(25.3%) of the husbands ended their education at primary schools and 76(20.4%) got to secondary school level. Additionally, 342(91.9%) had poor knowledge of diarrhoea, 70.0% had good attitude towards handwashing and only 21.3% treated water before use.
Mothers of under-5years old in the three communities investigated had poor knowledge and practice of diarrhoea. However, their positive attitude could be used to increase their knowledge and bridge the gap between knowledge and practice which would be beneficial to the community with the resultant reduction in infant mortality rate.

Phytochemical and Proximate Composition of Cucumber (Cucumis Sativus) Seed Oil
Oragwu Ifeoma P., Okolo Azubike, J., Emmanuel Ifeanyi V., Okoli Precious O., Osuagwu, Collins C., Onyia, Okwudili E., Usiakpebru, Austin A., and Okechukwu James O. – February 2021 – Page No.: 244-250
The phytochemical and proximate properties of cucumber (Cucumber Sativus) seed oil had been evaluated and characterized for its suitability in pharmaceutical, foods, and skin-care product formulations. The seed-oil was isolated using acetone and ethanol with an automated soxhlet extractor, while, the triplicate values of the oil yield were calculated, according to AOAC standard. The moisture content of 7.21 %; ash content of 5.48 %; crude fibre of 27.8 %; crude protein of 4.50 %; crude fat is 2.143 %, carbohydrate content of 52.86 %, and other physiochemical properties of the oil were determined. Some good health support inorganic elements identified include, Potassium (6.830 ± 0.0040); Sodium (7.2287 ± 0.0058); Iron (6.2213 ± 0.0043) and Arsenic( 3.1113 ± 0.0003). Major phytochemical compounds identified in both ethanol and acetone extracts are saponins, terpenoids, phytosterols and flavonoids. The Viscosity of 7.066, Specific gravity of 0,882 g/cm3, Bulk density of 0.393 g/cm3 and Tapped density 3 0.680 g/cm3, are good properties of edible oil, if further purified. The Phytochemicals and other inorganic elements identified revealed that cucumber seed oil can serve as raw materials for pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations.

The Role of Place-Names in Preserving Living Heritage in Matabeleland
Mthokozisi Moyo – February 2021 – Page No.: 257-261
This paper focuses on the role of indigenous place-names in Matabeleland as a way of preserving living heritage. Names serve an important function of connecting us with our environment and the cosmos. They connect us with our spirit world, physical natural and the built environments, thus they and should be preserved as part of our oral history and cultural heritage. Earlier toponomastics research done in Bulawayo and the surrounding areas of Matabeleland has focused more on the linguistic modelling and the etymology of these names without attention to the role of names in the preservation aspect of living heritage. Using the New Convergence Theory the study advances the idea that indigenous place-names are key in preserving living heritage, particularly wildlife as a form of living heritage. By focusing on the intersections between toponyms and wildlife within selected Matabeleland communities in Zimbabwe, this article analyses and bring to the fore how the abundant wildlife informs the place-naming in both rural and urban contexts.

Dahiru, D A (PhD), Akinpade, BO, Aluko O O – February 2021 – Page No.: 262-266
The study assessed the availability and usage of instructional facilities for effective teaching and learning of Agricultural Science in Nigerian Air force secondary schools. Two research questions and hypotheses were formulated from purpose of the study. The design of the study was survey research design. The population of the study was 820 Agricultural Science Teachers and Students of the (13) NAF secondary schools. The sample size was 30 Agricultural Science Teachers and 120 Agricultural Science Students from SS3 since they are preparing for WAEC and NECO. Simple Random Sampling Technique was used to determine the sample size for the study. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire called Instructional Material Assessment Questionnaire (IMAQ) this consists of 13 structured items. The instrument was validated by three experts. The instruments were subjected to reliability coefficient of 0.89. The researcher with the help of five assistance distributed the 150 questionnaires and were all retrieved within 7 days. The data was analyzed using mean and standard deviation, while the hypothesis was tested using t-test at 0.05 level of significance. The finding indicates that instructional facilities were inadequate and the available instructional facilities were not fully utilized in teaching Agricultural Science. The researcher recommended that NAF Directorate of Education should provide adequate instructional facilities for teaching of Agricultural Science. Agricultural Science Teachers should make use of available instructional materials in order to teach effectively.
