Socio-economic Determinants Of Market Participation By Smallholder Ricebean Farmers In Busia, Kakamega, Siaya And Migori Counties, Kenya
Kenya's agricultural production is characterized by growth of staple food such as maize and legumes which are grown primarily for self-consumption, with very little surplus remaining for the market. As a result, poor market participation for legumes manifests. Studies that have been conducted on leguminous crops have focused on other legumes such as beans and soybean but ignored ricebean crop.
Assessment Of Pre-service Teachers' Perception Of Institutional Web Portal System At Obafemi Awolowo University,
Ile-ife, Nigeria
The adoption of online portal technologies in carrying out both academic and administrative activities in Higher Education (HE) of learning is essential in this digital era. This study investigated the pre-service teachers' perception of web portal in a public University in Nigeria, West Africa. It also examined the influence of demographic variables of gender and mode of access on the
Allelopathic Effect Of Ageratum Houstonianum Mill. On Germination And Seedling Growth Of Two Agricultural Crops (abelmoschus Esculentus And Zea Mays)
Ageratum houstonianum is a garden escape that has become an invasive weed affecting ecosystems in many countries in different parts of the world. The study evaluated the allelopathic potential of the aqueous extract and leachate of A. houstonianum on the seed germination and seedling growth of two important agricultural crops Abelmoschus esculentus (okra) and Zea mays (maize) under laboratory conditions.
Digital Divide And Teachers’ Attitude Towards The Use Of Computer For Teaching In Public Secondary Schools In Osun State, Nigeria
The study determined the influence of the three levels of digital divide on public secondary school teachers' attitude to the use of computer for teaching in Osun State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. 360 students were sampled for the study using multistage sampling procedure and return-rate of questionnaire was 85.27%. Analysis of data showed that
Choice Of Medical Specialties By House Officers In South-south Negeria: A Multi-center Survey
In the Nigerian health system, a house officer is a newly graduated medical doctor undergoing clinical rotations in the four major core specialties. During this period, they are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge required for the task of specialization. Among house officers, studies have shown that various factors play a role in the choice of specialties. The aim
A New Mathematics Teacher Must Be Born
The focus of this study was to seek the views of teachers on the need for an emergent of a new generation of mathematics teachers who are thoroughly equipped with wide range of skills that could inspire students develop interest in mathematics. The study employed the qualitative research approach with a case study design. Five mathematics teachers were purposefully selected
Bridging Gaps In Rwanda’s Higher Education: A Strategic Analysis Of Program Availability, Delivery Models, And Regional Competitiveness
This study analyzes Rwanda's higher education system, identifying critical gaps in program offerings, delivery modes, and regional competitiveness. Rwanda's gross tertiary enrollment ratio is approximately 8%, indicating that only about 8% of the eligible population is enrolled in tertiary education, which is low compared to other African nations. Most institutions and students are concentrated in undergraduate programs, with postgraduate (Master's/PhD)
Frequency-dependent Cable Impedance Modeling For Inverter Systems
Precise impedance modeling of power cables is essential to ensure the stable and efficient performance of inverter-cable-load configurations, particularly in high-frequency switching scenarios typical of modern power electronics. As the switching frequency rises, parasitic elements-resistance (R), inductance (L), capacitance (C), and conductance (G)-exert greater influence, potentially affecting signal fidelity, energy transfer, and overall system reliability. This study introduces a structured
Design And Evaluation Of A Solar-powered Led Warning Triangle For Vehicle Safety
This study presents a solar-powered, LED-equipped reflective warning triangle designed to address the limitations of conventional Early Warning Devices (EWDs), particularly in low-visibility conditions and various weather scenarios. Guided by the ADDIE model, the researchers analyzed the shortcomings of current reflective warning triangles. The researchers developed a prototype that integrates LED illumination powered by solar power technology with photovoltaic panels,
