Balogun, A. R., Agbede, C. O. & Sosanwo, T. S. – June 2021 – Page No.: 01-06
Adolescent sexuality communication is very important for improved sexual and reproductive health. This study investigated the determinants of patterns of communication on adolescents’ sexuality between parents and in-school male adolescents in Agege local government area, Lagos state, Nigeria. The study employed a cross-sectional survey design and it adopted the purposive sampling with the questionnaire validated.Data collected was analysed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.The study revealed that the levels of predisposing factors for knowledge of adolescent at sexuality, both the parents and the adolescent student indicated that among parents, there was good perception about communicating sexuality with parent while only 28.1% of the parents had poor perception. Majority of the respondents (parents and adolescents) reported moderate pattern of communication about sexuality among the adolescents. There was a significant relationship between parents’ knowledge on adolescent’s sexuality and patterns of communication between parents and in-school male and female adolescents in Agege Local Government Area, Lagos State, (p<0.05). There was a significant relationship between parents’ perception on adolescent’s sexuality and patterns of communication between parents and in-school male and female adolescents in Agege Local Government Area, Lagos State(p<0.05). The three environmental factors(peers, media and family support) predicts patterns of sexuality communication between parents and in-school male and female adolescents in Agege Local Government Area, Lagos State, Nigeria. The study therefore recommends that parents should pay more attention to their adolescents’ sexuality issues and be more opened to communicating with them. Parent should communicate more with their male and female adolescents regarding their sexuality.

Improving Power Captured of Variable Speed Wind Turbine by using Adaptive Control Algorithm
Mebiratu Allo Begawo, Gete Tesfaye Zelie – June 2021 – Page No.: 07-16
Wind energy generated by using wind as a fuel is clean and non-polluting as a result it has become more widespread today. However, the uncertainty in the aerodynamic parameters makes the wind energy to cost more. Many researches have been done to increase the wind turbine efficiency, but they fail to consider this uncertain aerodynamic parameters. In this paper an adaptive control technique, which resembles the existing quadratic controller used by the wind industry for variable speed wind turbines below rated power, is designed to reduce the negative effects of this uncertainty. This adaptive controller uses a simple, highly intuitive extremum seeking scheme designed to seek out the optimal gain for maximizing the turbine’s energy capture. The adaptive controller has been tested and validated using MATLAB simulation

An Evaluation of Head-Teachers’ Instructional Supervision Experience on Teaching/Learning of Adaptive Skills for Learners with Intellectual Disabilities in Meru County, Kenya
Rosallin Kananu Ruteere, Dr. Beatrice Bunyasi Awori, Dr. Francis Kirim – June 2021 – Page No.: 17-23
The purpose of this study was to evaluate head-teachers’ instructional supervision experience in the teaching and learning of adaptive skills on learners with intellectual disabilities in Igembe South Sub-county, Kenya. The study used Effective School Theory advanced by Lezotte. A descriptive survey design involving both qualitative and quantitative approaches was used. The target population was 227 respondents (207 learners, 5 head teachers and 15 teachers). Purposive sampling was used to select special schools and units. The sample size was 124 respondents (104 learners, 15 teachers and 5 Head teachers). Data was collected by use of interview guide for head teachers, observational checklist for learners and questionnaire for teachers. Piloting was conducted in Kathelwa Special Unit in Igembe Central Sub-county. Test-retest method was used to determine reliability of the tools and a coefficient level of 0.7 was found adequate to determine reliability of the data collected. Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics and SPSS Version 23.0 while qualitative data was analysed thematically. Data was presented using tables and figures for quantitative data while qualitative data was presented using reported verbatims and narratives. Pertinent ethical considerations were observed in data collection and analysis. The study finding showed that head teachers lacked essential SNE professional qualifications. This hampered effective instructional supervision in the teaching and learning of adaptive skills by learners with ID which has negative implications to acquisition of adaptive skills. The study concluded that head teacher’s low qualification and lack of training in special needs education had a significant effect on the teaching and learning of adaptive skills among learners with intellectual disabilities in Igembe South Sub-County. The study recommended that head teachers of SNE units need to be appropriately trained in order to execute adequate supervision of the teaching and learning of adaptive skills to learners with intellectual disability.

Moderating Effect of Communication Strategy on Financial Risk Management Instruments and Performance of Hydroelectric Energy Projects in Kenya
Amolo Elvis Juma Amolo, PhD, Charles Mallans Rambo, PhD, Charles Misiko Wafula, PhD – June 2021 – Page No.: 24-31
Hydroelectric energy investment has been underexploited in Kenya due to financial constraint arising from investor’s negative perception of the regions high investment risk and low creditworthiness which retards the degree of private capital penetration. The purpose of the study was to assess the moderating influence of Communication strategy on the relationship between financial risk management instruments and performance of hydroelectric energy projects in Kenya. The study adopted pragmatism paradigmand descriptive survey design while questionnaires and interview guide were used to collect quantitative and qualitative data from a census of 94 participants. Validity coefficient of 0.775 and reliability coefficient of 0.781 were obtained after pretesting of the instruments amongst the 10% of the participants. Analysis involved descriptive statistic of mean and standard deviation and inferential statistic of Correlation and Regression at a significance level of 0.05 and thematic content analysis of qualitative data for triangulation. The hypothesis result: 1. H0: Communication strategy does not significantly moderate the relationship between financial risk management instruments and performance of hydroelectric energy projects in Kenya was rejected since P=0.000<0.05. Therefore the study concluded that there is significant influence of all financial risk management instruments as well as moderating effect of Communication strategy on performance of hydroelectric energy projects in Kenya. It is recommended that Project management and policy makers should integrate appropriate communication strategy amongst financial risk management instruments users and providers to improve performance of hydroelectric energy projects besides developing targeted policies for strengthening implementation of the financial risk management instruments to boost investors and lenders confidence. Further research should be carried out on the influence of risk communication human resource on power projects in Kenya.

Human Capital and Performance of Water and Sewerage Utilities, Kenya
Emanuel Owako, Charles Nyangara, PhD – June 2021 – Page No.: 40-44
Kisumu Water and Sewerage Company has consistently struggled to achieve its envisioned accepted performance against business plan target of 80%set by the Water Sector Regulatory Board standards despite having unlimited access to government subsidies, donor grants, commercial loans and enabling policy environment. This study sought to establish the influence of human capitalon performance of KIWASCO. The study adopted a correlation research design with a sample size of 68 respondents selected through Stratified random sampling from a target population of 83 managers while data was collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data, involving means and standard deviation and correlation and regression analysis. The study established a significant influence of human capital (p<0.001) on organizational performance at 5% level of significance. It was concluded that human capital had a significant influence on organizational performance. The study concluded that human capital had positive significant influence on organizational performance and recommends that the WASH sector reforms should prioritize building creative and innovative human capital at the helm of the companies. Future research should explore the mechanisms of building human capital in similar companies and trends across business periods within similar regulatory context

Insurance and Performance of Hydroelectric Energy Projects in Kenya
Amolo Elvis Juma Amolo, Charles Mallans Rambo, PhD, Charles Misiko Wafula, PhD – June 2021 – Page No.: 45-52
Renewable energy investment has been underexploited in Kenya in specific due to investor’s negative perception of the regions high investment risk which retards the degree of private capital penetration. The purpose of the study was to examine how Insurance influence performance of hydroelectric energy projects in Kenya. The study adopted pragmatism paradigm and descriptive survey design while questionnaires and interview guide were used to collect quantitative and qualitative data from a census of 94 participants. A Validity coefficient of 0.775 and reliability coefficient of 0.781 obtained after pretest among 10% of the un-included respondents. Analysis involved descriptive statistic and inferential statistic of Correlation and Regression at a significance level of 0.05. The result of the hypothesis: H0: Insurance does not significantly influence performance of hydroelectric energy projects in Kenya was rejected since P=0.000<0.05. Therefore the study concluded that there is significant influence of Insurance on performance of hydroelectric energy projects in Kenya. It is recommended that Project management and policy makers should integrate Insurance products to improve performance of hydroelectric energy projects besides developing targeted policies for strengthening adoption of Insurance products to boost investors and lenders confidence. Further research should be carried out on the influence of insurance on other renewable energy projects in Kenya

Outbreak of Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Delta variant (B.1.617.2) and Delta Plus (AY. 1) with fungal infections, Mucormycosis: Herbal medicine treatment
Ravindra B. Malabadi, Kiran P. Kolkar, Neelambika T. Meti, Raju K. Chalannavar – June 2021 – Page No.: 59-70
This review of literature updates the current outbreak of second wave of coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) mutant Delta variant (B. 1. 617.2) strain and Delta Plus (AY.1) in India followed by the severe black fungus infections, mucormycosis. The mucormycosis, the black fungus infections have been emerged as an additional threat among those recovering from the viral disease, covid-19. Both coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) mutant strain, B.1.617.2 (Delta variant) and Delta Plus (AY.1) with black fungus has increased covid-19 hospitalizations and killing people in India. The widely accepted treatment of choice for mucormycosis is Amphotericin B. However, these medicines are already exhausted due to the shortage of supply, found very expensive, and fungal strains are resistant during covid-19 outbreak in India. Therefore, traditional herbal medicines with antifungal properties were used as per Auyverdic guidelines as an alternative therapy for controlling this deadly black fungus, mucormycosis during the outbreak of covid-19. Herbal medicines with antifungal activities are easily available in rural areas, less expensive, and traditional healers are practicing herbal therapy as an age old practice for controlling mucormycosis. Herbal formulations are very common household remedies in the rural parts of India.

Design an Intelligent IoT system for terrain road haulages to optimize load with transmission and bottleneck control
Ashiq MI, Shivani Sethi, Gregory Nannam, Mohammed Niyas Dubaskaja, Vijayakumar Sampathkumar – June 2021 – Page No.: 71-75
The movement of goods and services by road is the only mode of transport in high altitude terrain regions. Most of the large scale transportation is done by trucks and any kind of breakdown, accidents, over loading, reckless driving and not giving way for uphill vehicles results in traffic bottleneck and fatal aftermath. During monsoons the transportation is either halted or more challenging amidst rain, fog, landslides and deteriorated roads. The objective is to design an AI integrated IoT cloud mobile platform to ensure a safe and controlled driving environment.

Assessment of Temperature Variables in Modeling Global Mapping and Distribution of COVID-19: A key factor in identification of risk region
Gabriel Salako – June 2021 – Page No.: 76-81
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, several works have been done and published on the role of environmental factors, especially climate in general and temperature in particular on the spread of the virus, some of which are contradictory. It has also been observed that most mapping has been overgeneralized without identifying the core infection areas. This work creatively uses distribution models to map the spread and infectivity of COVID-19 using biologically relevant temperature variables. We built ensemble COVID-19 global distribution models by fitting the selected temperature variables with over 650,000 occurrence data of COVID -19 across the globe; the ensemble models combined three algorithms: Maximum Entropy (Maxent), Generalized Linear Model (GLM), and Random Forest (RF) and was implemented in R package “SSDM” using a simple average of each SDM and display in Arc Map. Results show that the mean temperature of the coldest quarter (0-15°c) and annual mean temperature (10-22°c) are the main drivers of the virus’s spread. These thresholds defined the level of risk to COVID-19 and were scales between 0 -1, with 0 being low or no risk and one the highest risk. Analysis of the regions at risk by the proportion of areas shows that Western Europe, United States, and mainland China had the most elevated regions under very high risk. At the same time, Africa, except for South Africa and Maghreb nations, was relatively at low risk. Despite few data obtained from Canada, the model predicted a high-risk zone in the eastern provinces of Toronto and Quebec and south of British Columbia. Overgeneralization in mapping was resolved in this work as a high-risk cluster was conspicuously highlighted even in an area of presumably low risk.

An Assessment of the Quality Service Provided to Children with Special Education Needs in Zambian Primary Schools
Chila Carolyne and Harrison Daka (PhD) – June 2021 – Page No.: 89-96
The study was looking at an assessment of the quality service provided to children with special education needs marginalized children in Zambian primary schools. Its main objectives were; to find out how teachers handle children with special education needs and the strategic plan school administrators have put in place in providing quality service to children with special needs. The study was a purely qualitative and employed a descriptive design. It targeted all primary school administrators and teachers in primary schools in Lusaka district. Data was collected using interviews (open ended questions). The collected data was analyzed using thematic analysis and the results were as follows: teachers handled learners with special needs by giving them special attention, this was done in different ways depending on the attention the teacher wanted. The study also revealed that most of the teachers made sure that the learners with special needs were always put in front of the classroom in order for easy and proper guidance. The study further revealed that the best strategy that most of the school administrators used was motivation. Teachers were motivated by being recognized by the administration through giving of prizes to teachers who had improved slow learners capabilities. The study recommended that assessments and screening for learning disabilities should be carried out in order to identify learners with learning challenges and be able to meet their need.

Petrographic Studies, Heavy Mineral Analysis and Pebble Morphogenesis; Implications for Sedimentary Processes of Southern Bida Basin, Nigeria
Ijaleye, O.T, Ochu, G.D, and Danga, O.A. – June 2021 – Page No.: 97-106
The sandstone and conglomeratic sandstone facies of Lokoja and Patti Formation, Southern Bida Basin were analysed for their mineralogical compositions and pebble morphogenesis. The identified framework grains include the dominant quartz grains, feldspars, mica and rock fragments while heavy minerals include Zircon, Topaz, Tourmaline, Staurolite, Sphene, Rutile and Olivene. The heavy minerals were used as indicators of sources of sediments; Zircon and Tourmaline suggest igneous and low grade metamorphic rocks whereas Staurolite and Rutile show high grade metamorphic rocks. The angular to sub-angular shapes of the heavy minerals and sub-angular shapes of quartz grains respectively indicate textural immaturity of the sediments. This is associated with absence or low degree of physical weathering and abrasion due to short distance of sediment transport and it implies the prevalence of chemical weathering of the source rocks. The grain to grain contacts among quartz grains, the occurrence of overgrowths and iron oxide cements are consequences of post depositional changes of the sediments. Interpretation of pebble sizes, sphericity and oblate-prolate index provided information about the paleoenvironments.

Predicting Stock Price in Python Using TensorFlow and Keras
Orlunwo Placida Orochi, and Ledesi Kabari – June 2021 – Page No.: 107-111
One of the most important practices in the financial world is stock trading. The act of attempting to forecast the future value of a stock or other financial instrument listed on a stock exchange is known as stock market prediction. This paper discusses how Machine Learning can be used to predict a stock’s price. When it comes to stock forecasts, most stockbrokers use technical and fundamental analysis, as well as time series analysis. Python is the programming language used to forecast the stock market. In this paper, we propose a Machine Learning (ML) method that will be trained using publicly accessible stock data to obtain intelligence, and then use that intelligence to make an accurate prediction. In this context, this research builds a neural network in TensorFlow and Keras that predicts stock market, which is basically a Python scraper that extracts finance data from the Yahoo Finance platform; more precisely, a Recurrent Neural Network with LSTM cells was constructed, which is the current state-of-the-art in time series forecasting.

The Financial Performance and Firm Value of Companies Analysis of Indonesia Metal Industry Sector
Leni Triana, Yuliah, Rani Puspa – June 2021 – Page No.: 119-124
The purpose of this research is to determine the direct influence of capital structure, corporate social responsibility, and financial performance on business value, as well as if financial performance acts as a mediating element between capital structure and CSR. This study examines metal industrial sector manufacturing firms that are publicly traded on the Indonesian Stock Exchange through the use of secondary data, data collection, and documentation (IDX). The study sampled 14 businesses using purposive sampling, and the sample comprised 56 financial reports covering four years. Capital structure variables are determined using DER, CSR variables are determined using GRI-G4 principles, financial performance is determined using ROA, and firm value is determined using PBV. To test hypotheses, Path Analysis was employed. According to the findings, capital structure had a positive but minor effect on financial performance, CSR had a significant positive effect on financial performance, and capital structure had a large positive effect on business value. Financial performance has a significant negative effect on corporate value, but CSR has a tiny but favourable effect. Financial performance acts as a buffer between CSR and business value, rather than between capital structure and company value.
