Abstract
The availability and adequacy of installed parking facilities allow people to meet the ease of movement and traffic flow in public places like Market. Thus, properly located and well managed parking facilities will ease accessibility, and unrestricted accessibility to facilities can lead to unimaginable planning problems within a human society. Hence, this research was carried out to study inter-modal access to market locations in the littoral corridor of Ondo state. The research was conducted using questionnaire and filed observations. A total of 289 questionnaires were administered out of which 189 questionnaires were administered to all registered Associations market traders, commercial boat Operators, commercial vehicle driver associations and 100 questionnaires were administered randomly; 50 questionnaires for each of the two selected markets. Meanwhile, Pearson Product correlation was used to test for the relationship between shoppers’ origin and market locations. Gravity model was used to find the degree of attraction and repulsion (interaction) between market locations and their catchment areas. Findings reveal that installed parking facilities are inadequate. In order to achieve provision and better management of the market parking facilities, policies are recommended. These include development of a parking lots and provision of more jetties, effective monitory, mandatory legislation and private-public sector participation.Key-Words / Index Term

Abstract
Many of the intriguing and relevant uses of machine learning may be seen in a medical organization. The concept of machine learning is quickly gaining attention in the healthcare industry. The research and analysis on the medical datasets facilitate people to take proper precautions and care so that diseases can be prevented. Different methodologies are extensively employed in the development of disease prediction decision support systems using a set of medical datasets. This paper aims to explore the different types of machine learning algorithms that can help in the prediction and decision-making of diseases. In this paper, we focus on the early prediction of diabetes. Diabetes is one of the world`s fastest-growing diseases, and it necessitates constant monitoring. To analyze this, we consider several machine learning techniques that can aid in the early detection of this disease.Key-Words / Index Term

Vol.7 , Issue.9 , pp.18-21, Sep-2021
Abstract
This research study employed a Phenomenological Research Design to identify and explore the duties encompassed in the workday of a college teacher. This study was anchored on the following theories: Wickens’ Multiple Resources Theory, Juran’s 80/20 Theory and Parkinson’s Law. From the data analyses and upon utilization of a semi-structured interview and subsequent implementation of the Colaizzi Process, three major themes emerged: (1) Chrono-Juggling; (2) Impact and Sacrifices; and (3) Finding Inspiration and Inducement. The result showed that these teachers experienced a difficult time balancing roles inside and outside the school. They commonly end up spending most of their time at schools and related activities sacrificing personal moments. It is recommended that the institution should provide support and development program for the college teachers especially in areas that provides options that balance personal and professional time.Key-Words / Index Term

Abstract
The study aimed to determine the effect of a Five-Day Intensive Training on Campus Journalism on the staffers` journalistic writing skills and status of the student publication of Subic National High School for the current year, the School Year 2019-2020. There were fifteen (15) student-journalists who undergo the five-day intensive training and three hundred ninety-four (394) selected stakeholders of the school who evaluated the status of the student publication. The student-journalists perceived that the result of the intensive training significantly improved their journalistic writing skills. The study proved that the level of journalistic writing skills of the staffers was improved from the pre to post-evaluations that attained an advanced proficiency level in terms of headline writing and copy reading, news writing, feature writing, sports writing, photojournalism, and editorial writing Findings revealed that there was a significant change in the status of The Reporter after the five-day intensive training which proved that the staffers acquire necessary skill and improved their journalistic writing skills. Based on the results gained, the researcher concluded that the conduct of the intensive training on campus journalism has a positive effect on the journalistic writing skills of the staffers that will consequently result in an improved school paper.Key-Words / Index Term

Abstract
Present work analyzes the result of seasonal variation on various physical and chemical properties in borehole water in four schools in Barasat, District North 24 Parganas, West Bengal. Samples of water were collected first in the wet month (September 2016) and later in dry month (December 2016). Samples were analyzed for seven parameters namely pH, temperature, turbidity, total hardness, iron, manganese and arsenic following approved standard guideline of APHA (American Public Health Association Color Scale, 1995). The results were analysed and comparisons were done as per standard procedures of drinking water of WHO (World Health Organization) and BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards). Most of the samples contain iron and manganese in an amount much higher than the permissible limit especially in dry season. The pH of the water samples recorded in two different seasons varied from 6.81 to 7.19. Arsenic concentrations for most of the school boreholes were within BIS and WHO recommended limits. High turbidity was recorded in two school samples which were above the recommended limit and has considerable health risk. Overall, the majority of the schools have high values of iron and manganese well above the acceptable limit. Thus, proper water treatment measures are required to be taken or alternative sources of drinking water may be arranged.Key-Words / Index Term

Abstract
Paragraph writing is one of the most critical skills that indicate that a language learner is learning a language. This study determined the peer review method`s (PRM) efficacy on the paragraph writing skills of Grade 6 students. A quantitative research design was utilized with descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage), paired T-test, and Wilcoxon sign-ranked test as the data analysis. The results revealed that before implementing the PRM, the learners had low (fairly satisfactory) to very low (did not meet expectation) writing skills, especially grammar, structure, and punctuation. Also, they have remarkably improved their writing skills in terms of capitalization, punctuation, and spelling after using the peer-review method; however, only a slight improvement in the structure and grammar aspects. Nevertheless, the learners` writing skills significantly increased by percentage points [10.1, 10.5, 10.1, 5.0, and 2.9] for capitalization, punctuation, spelling, structure, and grammar, respectively, after using the PRM. With these results, the PRM improves the paragraph writing skills of grade 6 pupils, specifically on spelling, punctuation, and capitalization. Since there is only a minimal increase in the language structure and grammar, these writing aspects need improvement among feedback givers to provide suggestions that improve the parts and parcels and the totality of the paragraphs. Intensified training, orientations, and paragraph writing skills tests among the peer reviewers are necessary before the method is adopted for instruction. Appropriate interventions can be a priority after assessing the writing skills of the feedback givers. The training with orientations of the writing process and assessment of the paragraph writing skills will ensure that sentence structure and grammar, including capitalization, punctuation, and spelling, will be enhanced because these are the foundation of excellent and quality communication.Key-Words / Index Term

Abstract
This paper assesses causes and effects of ferry mishaps and places focus on Lekki Lagoon Lagos State. The study seeks a solution to ferry mishaps which often results to colossal loss of lives and property. The research made use of primary data which were gathered from respondents through the use of structured questionnaires. A total of eighty-four (84) respondents took part in the survey. The statistical tools adopted for data analysis include percentage mean item score, relative importance index and ANOVA. Results revealed that the causes relating to the SHEL model (software, hardware, environment and liveware) have significant impact on ferry mishap in the study area. The most significant of these causes are: poor maintenance of vessels, engine failure, lack of application of safety procedures, decisions based on inadequate information, lack of enforcement of safety regulations by government agencies, negligence, operators’ fatigue, recklessness, overconfidence of the operator, and wrecks on navigation channels. More so, the greatest effect of the ferry mishaps on marine transportation manifests in fatalities and injuries of users, damage to property and the environment, phobia for use of water transportation system leading to low patronage and low revenue generation. The paper therefore, recommends regulations of activities of ferry operators, creation of effective search and rescue operations, proactive approach to safety and proper training of waterways officials and ferry operators through workshops and seminars. Finally, wrecks along waterways should be removed on time, so as to forestall future mishaps.Key-Words / Index Term

Abstract
Globally, Chl-a and SST play essential roles in primary production. However, the relation and seasonal contrast are unclear between Chl-a with daytime SST and nighttime SST in the world ocean. Satellite-derived data from MODIS-aqua sensors were analyzed to identify the season-wise variation and correlation patterns between oceanic physical factors (SST) and marine biological elements (marine Chl-a concentration). We found systematic seasonal variations in the daytime, and nighttime SST, where the minimum temperature was obtained during the wintertime, and maximum temperature was found during the spring, average highest and lowest temperature were 29.72?C and 27.62?C in the daytime and 29.57?C and 27.54?C in the nighttime, respectively. We also observed minute differences in oceanic Chl-a concentration right through the year. The minimum concentration seen in the spring and maximum in the summer season was about 5.75 mg/m3. However, summer and autumn showed the same highest average concentration of 0.31mg/m3. The relation between SST (daytime and nighttime) and Chl-a data was examined. The daytime and nighttime SST were negatively associated with Chl-a in the autumn to winter seasons, which means Chl-a concentration declined with SST increase. Apart from the rest, during the summer season, the correlation shows a slightly positive trend. These findings could be helpful for further study on BOB regional physical parameter’s responses to the biosphere.Key-Words / Index Term

Abstract
Psychology is the logical investigation of the mind and its behavioral activities. Analysts are effectively engaged with contemplating and understanding mental cycles, cerebrum capacities, and conduct. The area of Psychology is considered as a "Hub Science" with solid associations with the clinical sciences, social sciences, education, and much more. Technology is the branch of knowledge concerned with the development and application of specialized tools, as well as their interactions with life, society, and the environment, drawing on areas such as mechanical engineering, applied science, and pure science. This study aims to shed light on the relationship between the field of psychology and technological progress nowadays. This paper also provides a detailed investigation of the effect of technology on the discipline of psychology.Key-Words / Index Term

Abstract
Teacher empowerment is a broad topic expanding to different areas contributing to the totality of what makes teachers work and the quality of their work. This research study employed a Phenomenological Research Design, With the aid of a semi-structured interview and utilizing the Colaizzi process, to explore and understand the challenges encountered by thirteen (13) college instructors in delivering quality teaching to students. This study is guided by the Empowerment Theory of Perkins and Zimmerman, Self-Efficacy Theory of Bandura, and Motivation-Hygiene Theory of Herzberg. After data analysis, three themes emerged: (1) Professionalism and Politics; (2) Assignment and Amount of Work; and (3) Facilities and Funds. The results showed that teachers shared experiences of being bombarded with task despite limited resources. To add more to the concoction, is wide array of contrasting personalities in the. As a recommendation, the tertiary institutions should be able to determine the root cause of the challenges encountered and implement doable and lasting solutions. Likewise, further studies and a more in-depth investigation of the college instructors’ life experiences is also recommended.Key-Words / Index Term
