  Abstract
  The transmissivity and reflectivity of photons incident with low energies in the radiofrequency region and interacting with a one-dimensional, two-component hot plasma have been calculated across a broad range of temperatures, specifically from T=100K to 1200K. The system under consideration is modeled as weakly coupled quantum plasma in one dimension. The theoretical analysis reveals a clear dependence of the transmissivity and reflectivity percentage on temperature when photons reflect off and transmit the surface of the plasma. In addition, the results obtained by varying the number densities and also mass of the mobile component carrying positive charge have also been reported and have shown significant influence on the observed variations. A comparison of the corresponding findings across different temperatures for a one-component, one-dimensional plasma has also been made.

  Abstract
  The aim of this study was to assess the possible industrial applications of grey clay obtained from Iko Town in Eastern Obolo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Though a number of studies have been reported on clay from various locations, research findings have revealed that clay samples can differ in their properties. The clay, after collection, was sufficiently dried and then crushed. It was subjected to quality assessment to determine its suitability for use. Also, samples were developed from the clay, dried, and tested for durability characteristics, linear shrinkage, and cold crushing strength. The characteristics and chemical composition of the clay material were examined and then compared with the specific requirements to establish its suitability for the intended application. The plasticity index and angle of repose were found to be (32.41 ± 0.01) % and (35.69 ± 0.01) o respectively. Prominent among the chemical constituents were SiO2 (54.01 %), Al2O3 (16.22 %), Fe2O3 (9.08 %), and CaO (1.11 %). The sorptivity and flaking concentration of the clay samples were (4.09 ± 0.02) mm?h and (8.92 ± 0.01) % respectively. The samples’ linear shrinkage and cold crushing strength were found to be (6.16 ± 0.02) % and (1.926 ± 0.0020 N/mm2 respectively. Generally, the clay exhibited acceptable flow characteristic for manufacturing of products. The data indicated that the clay satisfied the requirements for use as a raw material in refractory and brick industries.

  Abstract
  Design rainfall depth is one of the important parameters in the hydraulic modelling of urban drainage systems that directly contributes to runoff. Also, analysis of rainfall characteristics is considered as one of the effective techniques for planning of water resources projects. This can be carried out by applying the Extreme Value Type-1 (EV1) distribution to the series of observed annual 1-day maximum rainfall (AMR) data. This paper presented a study on modelling the AMR series of Akkalkuwa, Kamrej, Navapur, Sakri, Shahada and Taloda rain gauge sites located in the surrounding regions of river Tapi. The parameters of EV1 were determined by Method of Moments (MoM), Maximum Likelihood Method (MLM), Method of L-Moments (LMO) and Method of Least Squares (MLS), and further used for rainfall data analysis. Anderson-Darling (A2) and Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) tests were employed for examining the fitting EV1 distribution to the AMR series while the selection of best fit method was made through cross correlation matrix analysis (CCMA) and model performance analysis with various indicators such as correlation coefficient (CC), mean squared error (MSE) and Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency (NSE). The A2 test results indicated that all four methods of EV1 are acceptable for modelling the AMR of Akkalkuwa, Kamrej, Sakri, Shahada and Taloda whereas MLM and LMO for Navapur. But, the KS test results supported the use of all four methods of EV1 for modelling the AMR of six sites. The outcomes of CCMA showed that there is a perfect correlation between the observed and estimated rainfalls by four methods of EV1, which is nearer to 1.000. The study showed that the NSE given by four methods of EV1 vary from 92.1% to 98.8%. The MSE computed by LMO is minimum than those values of MoM, MLM and MLS. Based on A2 and KS tests results, CCMA and model performance analysis, the LMO was identified as better suited amongst four methods for modelling the AMR data of six sites.

  Abstract
  Poverty, unemployment, reduced farm sizes due to population growth and climate change has led to numerous households joining the labor and time consuming occupation that requires low skills and consequently low earnings as well as a copy strategy. Manual stone quarrying mainly involves digging and aggregate manufacturing which exposes the miners to hazardous risks. Limited interest has been accorded to determine how manual stone quarry workers respond to occupation health and safety hazards through the use of personal protective equipment’s including helmets boots, gloves, safety glasses and nose/face masks despite a growing literature on occupation and health issues related to manual stone quarrying. The study set out to determine whether the education, awareness raising and sensitization interventions improved health and safety practices amongst the women ASM through the usage of relevant types of personal protective equipment. It is an assessment of the influence of knowledge and awareness of occupational safety and health amongst the women A cross-sectional study provided data from ASM women quarry miners between August to September 2024. The population of this study was women ASM working in the numerous manual quarry sites. The four aggregates processing sites had an average daily population of one hundred and twenty (120) women manual stone quarry workers. From Morgan’s table, a population of 120 produces a sample size of 92. Only 90 of the selected 92 consented to participating in the survey research. Nearly two thirds of respondents have spent between one to ten years at the manual quarry sites earning living. 61.1% have had between one and ten accidents over the past twelve months. 80% of the causes of injuries are those struck by rock pieces, mainly flying ones during breaking down (31.1%), followed by sharp rock edges mainly during handling (25.6%) and falls constituting 23.3%. 72.6% of the injured parts included hand (44.4%) and the legs at 32.2%. In manual stone quarrying, the hands and legs are parts mostly used in the processing of the aggregates. 62.2% had opportunities to health and safety informal training received it through an NGO. Overall 67.8% of the women were aware of the importance of personal protective equipment’s. Although 47.8%(43) use personal protection equipment less than half at 22.2%(20) use the items often while a significant 25.6%(23) sometimes use the items. However, 47 respondents (52.2%) never use personal protection equipment. The regression analysis of the studies indicates that the only significant factor for both frequencies of use and type of PPE is knowledge and awareness on the importance of PPE.A significant influence on how often use personal protective equipment due to awareness of the importance of personal protective equipment and significant influence on type of personal protective equipment used due to awareness of the importance of personal protective equipment.

  Abstract
  This paper assessed adaptation strategies employed by maize farmers and the challenges encountered in implementing adaptation strategies in Giwa Local Government Area (LGA) of Kaduna State, Nigeria. Purposive sampling was used to select 383 respondents. The instruments used for data collection were self-structured questionnaire titled; Maize Farmers’ Perception Questionnaire (MFPQ) and interview guide titled; Maize Farmers’ Perception Interview Guide (MFPIG). The instruments were validated for face and content validity by the lead researcher and two other experts in the field of Geography. The reliability of the instruments was determined using the Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient and the values for MFPQ = 0.76 and MFPIG = 0.82 respectively. The data generated for the study were analysed using frequency counts and simple percentages. The result show that the farmers used multiple adaptation strategies to cope with the effect of climate change. Mixed cropping was ranked 1st, use of chemical fertilizers was ranked 2nd and early planting was ranked 3rd. However, these measures are constrained by inadequate access to water resources for irrigation farming (35%), inadequate knowledge on climate change adaptation strategies (28%) and financial constraint (13%). The study recommended targeted interventions such as improved irrigation systems, enhanced extension services, and access to climate-resilient maize varieties to strengthen farmers’ adaptive capacity.

  Abstract
  presently, educational institutions commonly employ their proprietary Learning Management Systems (LMS), harnessing internet capabilities to offer a diverse array of intelligent learning tools catering to various learner requirements. This study seeks to categorize the pivotal factors shaping student’s preferences regarding LMS utilization. It delves into how the adoption of LMS can augment learning outcomes, examining two primary perspectives: Performance Expectancy and Effort Expectancy, along with three moderating dimensions—Social, Environmental, and Individual intention—on a dependent construct encompassing behaviour and intention. By surveying 417 undergraduate and postgraduate students from different Private Universities and B-Schools in West Bengal, this research utilizes a validated Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to gauge students’ perceptions of LMS adoption. The findings of this study illuminate the viability of Learning Management Systems as perceived by students within the higher education landscape in West Bengal.

  Abstract
  Aim: A comparison in the number of measles( Rubella) infection across the six regions of the world namely Americas, Africa, Eastern Mediterranean Region, Southeast Asia, West Pacific Region, and Europe, and the impact of the use of MMR vaccination in combating the Measles virus, so as to identify which continent has the lowest measles occurrence to-date, and what factors contributed to its achievement. Research Design: A secondary research method was adopted using statistics obtained from the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) database, from the 6 regions, across 223 countries. Data was also obtained from the World Health Organization provisional measles and rubella data Methodology: The quantitative research methodology was adopted for the study of measles cases and immunization from children between 12 to 23 months old, across 223 countries, through the exploration of numerical patterns over a period of 14 years. The aggregated data from UNICEF allowed for sophisticated data analysis, with visibility into trends of MMR vaccination. Data was analyzed for 1st and 2nd dose of administration on MMR across the targeted countries, to confirm the impact of vaccination, against cases per year.

  Abstract
  The present study analyses the Government Programmes for Agriculture and Allied Activities in Sikkim: Achievements & Suggestions. The study is based on secondary data retrieved from the Annual Progress Report, 2015-2016, Department of Food Security & Agriculture Development, Government of Sikkim, Krishi Bhawan Tadong, Gangtok, East Sikkim. Sikkim is an agricultural state where more than 60 percent of its total population is engaged in agriculture [12]. The increasing population pressure on land has resulted in low per capita land availability and there is decreasing trend of farmers working on farms. In addition to this, agriculture is facing a lot of competition from various other development sectors, which is discouraging the youth away from farming. The challenge is therefore to include innovative technologies in agriculture so as to make it more lucrative for the youth. The Animal Husbandry, Livestock, Fisheries & Veterinary Services Department of the state is working towards maintaining better infrastructure for supporting animal husbandry. The Government policies and programmes favouring agriculture and its allied activities will go a long way in achieving self sufficiency and will definitely uplift the socioeconomic status of the poor and the marginalized sections in the society. Hence, the study holds a great relevance.

  Abstract
  Big data analytics is used to collect, to examine and to analyze the large quantity of data to take decisions. Big data analytics in healthcare examines the large quantity of data from thousands of children through classification process. Infants and young children requirelarge amount of foods to address the nutrient demands to grow physically and mentally. Dietary food habits are linked with child growth resulted in long-term health outcomes. The parents limit their children`s food intake by choosing nutritious foods that are easy to chew and digest. Food consumption is appropriate and meets the nutrients kids need to meet the nutritional requirements that impact their growth and development.

  Abstract
  To provide planners and decision-makers with competitive, advanced information, business intelligence combines operational data with analytical skills. Enhancing the promptness and caliber of inputs used in the decision-making process is the aim. Through the lens of business intelligence, the company`s capabilities, the state of the art, trends, and future directions in the markets, technology, and regulatory environments in which it competes, as well as the competitor`s actions and the results of those actions, are all understood. Advances in data purification, web architecture, better hardware and software capabilities, and the emergence of the data warehouse as a repository have all contributed to developing an improved business intelligence environment. This paper explains the main features and advantages of Business Intelligence (BI) in the university`s revenue administration and increasing. It also explores whether the UTB received the anticipated benefits from BI before using it. The population represented by the sample size of twelve UTB staff in this study is determined by empirical research that has produced results using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Because of its unique data format and presentation features, the SPSS application software was used for data collection and analysis. This study mainly aimed at revealing the benefits of using Business Intelligence in a higher learning institution ie. UTB. Based on the study`s objectives, we went through numerous theoretical analyses and the research findings revealed that the study reached its goal.
