- This paper defined and solved the machine set-up problem as a combinattorial optimization problem. Based on this, a PC based software for solving the machine set-up problem was developed and adapted for an easy-to learn-apply in a University Production Engineering workshop situation. The system stores pertient data and has features for determining the optimal sequence of production and relevant information for operator's quick manual setting-up of machine. This approach to managing the workshop was compared to the exisitng approach of selecting parts randomly. The innovation was found to improve perfomance between 23 to 55%. 2 results 2

- Background Suboptimal infant vaccination is common in Nigeria and multiple interventions have been deployed to address the situation. Child health indicators are reported to be worse in urban slums compared with other urban areas, but urban data are usually not disaggregated to show these disparities. Examining the timeliness and completion of infant vaccination in urban slums is important to determine the effectiveness of existing interventions in improving infant vaccination among this vulnerable population. This study explored the trends of infant vaccination in selected urban slum communities in Ibadan, Southwest Nigeria between November 2014 and October 2018. Methods This was a cross sectional study where infant vaccination data were extracted from the immunization clinic records of six primary health care centers that were providing infant vaccination services for seven urban slum communities. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi square test at α = 05. Results A total of 5,934 infants vaccination records were reviewed, 2,895 (48.8%) were for female infants and 3,002(50.6%) were from Muslim families. Overall, only 0.6% infants had both timely and complete vaccination during the four years under study. The highest number of infants with timely and complete vaccination were seen in 2015(12.2%) and least in 2018 (2.9%). Regarding timeliness of the vaccines, BCG, was the least timely among the vaccines given at birth and the pentavalent and oral polio vaccines’ timeliness reduced as the age of the infants increased. Both yellow fever and measles vaccines were timelier than th(12.1%). Those from Muslim families significantly had delayed and incomplete vaccinations compared with those from Chrisitan families (p = 0.026). Conclusion Infant vaccinations were significantly delayed and incomplete in the study communities during the years reviewed. More focused interventions are required to ensure optimal vaccination of the infants. epentavalent vaccines. Vaccines were most timely in 2016(31.3%) and least timely in 2018 1 results 1

- Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and accompanying learning difficulties in mathematics experience considerable degree of helplessness as a result of their inability to successfully solve mathematical problems. The effects of ADHD on learning difficulties may become overwhelming on these pupils. This is probably caused by some personal, psycho-social and environmental factors distractive enough to negatively affect their concentration in class and achievement in mathematics. Literature substantiates the impact of utilising intervention plans to effectively manage ADHD pupils with specific learning difficulties in order to enhance their academic performance. However, there is dearth of studies that combine co-operative learning strategy and contingency contracting technique to improve the mathematics achievement of pupils with ADHD and accompanying learning difficulties in mathematics. This study, therefore investigated the effects of Co-operative Learning Strategy and Contingency Contracting Technique on mathematics achievement of pupils with ADHD in Warri, Nigeria. The study adopted pretest, posttest, control group quasi-experimental research design with a 3x2x2 factorial matrix. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 90 participants from three randomly selected public primary schools in the three local government areas in Warri. The participants were randomly assigned to treatment and control groups. Participants in the two treatment groups were exposed to eight weeks of Co-operative Learning Strategy and Contingency Contracting Technique. Two instruments used were: Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Teacher Rating Scale (α= 0.93) and Woodcock-Johnson III Mathematics Fluency Achievement Tests Scale (α= 0.84). Seven hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance and data analysed using Analysis of Covariance and Duncan post hoc. There was a significant main effect of treatment on mathematics achievement of pupils with ADHD (F (2, 87) = 127.29, p<0.05). Co-operative learning strategy was more effective in improving mathematics competence skills (= 96.6) of pupils with ADHD than contingency contracting technique. Also, age had significant main effect on mathematics achievement of pupils with ADHD (F (1, 88) = 4.65, p<0.05). However, gender had no significant main effect on mathematics achievement of pupils with ADHD. Likewise, there was no significant interaction effect of age and gender on mathematics achievement of pupils with ADHD. Furthermore, there was no significant interaction effect of treatment, age and gender on mathematics achievement of pupils with ADHD in the study. Co-operative learning strategy and contingency contracting technique were effective in improving mathematics achievement of pupils with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Hence, the study enlightened teachers, school authorities, parents and government of the fact that mathematics achievement of pupils with ADHD could be fostered to enhance better academic accomplishment with the use of these intervention programmes. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers of pupils with ADHD and accompanying learning difficulties in mathematics should adopt the two strategies to reinforce positive attitude to teaching learning situation of these children 1 results 1
