Aggregating Species Distribution In Distorted Mangrove Communities Of Coastal Nigeria
The study assessed the effects of land use drivers on vegetation diversity, and projected the. To achieve these objectives, the study used remotely sensed image data and direct field observation. Landsat imageries of 1986, 2003 and 2022 were utilized for pre-processing of data, employing unsupervised classification. A total of 400 copies of questionnaire were used to determine the drivers of
From Rules To Transformers: A Review Of Spam Detection Techniques, Research Gaps And The Promise Of Bert-ensemble Frameworks
Spam has grown from a minor nuisance into one of the most persistent threats in digital communication, yet existing detection systems continue to struggle with balancing accuracy and computational efficiency. This paper reviews the evolution of spam detection approaches from early rule-based filters and traditional machine learning classifiers to deep learning models and transformer-based architectures with particular attention to the
A Review Of Deep Learning Approaches To Real-time Financial Fraud Detection, Research Gaps And The Path Forward
Financial fraud costs the global economy over $40 billion annually, yet existing detection systems continue to struggle at the intersection of accuracy, latency, interpretability, and fairness. This paper reviews the evolution of fraud detection methods from early rule-based systems and classical machine learning through recurrent and convolutional deep learning architectures, to transformer models, graph neural networks, and federated learning with
Managing The Integration Of Learners With Learning Barriers In The Mainstream Rural Primary Schools
This paper seeks to explore effective strategies that could be used to manage the integration of learners with barriers to learning in rural primary schools. Pragmatism underpinned the study, and a mixed-method methodology approach was adopted to pursue the study objectives. The theory grounding this study is the Bronfenbrenner's Biological Model. Bronfenbrenner's bio-ecological model is a theory of educational psychology
Church–government Collaborative Initiatives And Their Effectiveness In Enhancing Climate Change Adaptation In Semi-arid Kenya
Climate change presents significant challenges in semi-arid regions, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where livelihoods are highly climate-sensitive. This study examines church-government collaborative initiatives and their effectiveness in enhancing climate change adaptation in Tharaka South Sub-County, Kenya. A mixed-methods case study design was employed, integrating surveys (n = 133), interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis. Findings indicate that collaboration between
Lifelong Learning As An Organizing Principle Of Post-industrial Education Systems: Toward A Conceptual Framework For Continuous Education
Lifelong learning has become a prominent focus in global education reform; however, it remains sufficiently theorized as a structural principle shaping education systems. Most research treats lifelong learning as an extension of adult education or workforce reskilling rather than as a core logic that reorganizes educational institutions, governance, and knowledge production. This conceptual paper redefines lifelong learning as a guiding
Navigating Economic Challenges: Coping Strategies Of Middle-class Workers In The Face Of Low Income, Bujumbura, Burundi
Using a descriptive quantitative research design, this study explored coping strategies adopted by middle-class workers in at least two privately owned firms (PACOBU & Musumba Steel) located in Bujumbura, Burundi, who suffer from low-income levels. Although the middle-class workforce is a growing and important consumer segment, research on consumption-based coping strategies within this group has been scarce. A quantitative approach
Enhancing Food Safety In The Camel Milk Value Chain Among Pastoralists Of Isiolo And Marsabit Counties, Northern-eastern Kenya
Management practices surrounding production, distribution and marketing of milk and milk products derermines foodsafety. This study sought to establish local mangement practices related to camel milk and diseases associated with lactating camels. The study was undertaken in Isiolo and Marsabit Counties. The study was guided by three objectives namely: i) to examine camel management practices among the pastoralists of Isiolo
Examination The Adequancy Of Physical Infrastracture Of Schools With Learners Having Barriers To Learning In Rural Primary Schools
Primary schools were not coping with learners who have barriers to learning in Mopani East District. The aim of the study was to investigate the provision of an effective learning environment for children with barriers to learning in rural primary schools in the district. Mixed methods approach was employed to collect data. Qualitative data was collected through interviews. Questionnaires collected
Urban Water Insecurity Among Low-income Earners: A Review Of Challenges, Determinants, And Sustainable Policy Interventions
Insecurity of water has become one of the most pressing challenges in development for cities in low and middle-income countries, particularly in the context of rapid urbanization. While there are global commitments to ensuring universally accessible, safe and affordable drinking water by 2030 under the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, millions of urban residents, particularly those in informal settlements and
