- "A large percentage of Nigerian educational institutions use manual and paperbased system for collecting, processing, and disseminating information. This approach results in inefficient utilization of resources, low productivity and stunted growth of the educational sector. In this study the in-house users-development approach has been used to develop a computer based Educational Information Management System (ElMS) for a typical University academic department. The existing work system and the underlying Information flow pattern in a department were critically studied. The associated information needs were identified and analyzed. A broad review of the literature on Information Technology (IT) solutions were carried out to identify possible solutions frame work. Graphical User Interface (GUI) software embedded in Relational Database Management System (RDBMS), Microsoft Access was developed using Visual Basic Net. The software was deployed and tested using data from the department of Industrial Engineering, University of Ibadan. The GUI, compatible with the regular Windows environment, was shown to be user friendly. The capability of the EIS compares very well with the imported EIS systems. " 1 results 1
- "The research developed a reconfigurable hybridized multiprocessor system, Hybridized Macro Pipeline Multiprocessor (HMPM), which combines two multiprocessing techniques –macro pipeline and parallelism. This solves the problems associated with using multiprocessor system to execute sequential applications. In addition, a heuristic is developed for the system, this reconfigures the processors in each cluster according to input load in order to prevent load imbalance. Multiprocessor system has led to increased throughput of system in many applications such as image processing, computer graphic and real time systems. It has also contributed to the increasing use of parallel hardware along-with the associated software, which solves the bottleneck associates with high computation tasks. There are different ways of increasing the throughput in a multiprocessing environment. Parallelism technique; where different processors are allocated different parallel-subtasks at the same time. In macro pipeline, all the available processors must sequentially work on all the subtasks. Several researchers have proposed different form of multiprocessors using any of these multiprocessing techniques. However, these techniques are application dependent. That is some applications are sequential, for these applications, parallelizing their execution will reduce the throughput. Some are parallel in nature, executing these sequentially will also reduce the throughput. This made some of the proposed multiprocessor system application-dependent. This paper proposes a reconfigurable Hybridized Macro Pipeline Multiprocessor (HMPM); a hybrid multiprocessor system that combines sequential and parallel execution techniques in order to increase the multiprocessor throughputs and make it application-independent. HMPM uses homogenous processors as the processing elements. A streaming application is taken and broken into a series of subtasks, which are parallel assigned to different pipelined clusters. The problem of mapping each of the streaming unit into each of pipeline stage is solved with a simple architecture and heuristic that efficiently determine the design space. " 1 results 1

- "This work is aimed at determining the feasibility of manufacturing automobile batteries on a small scale Level. It involves an economic evaluation directed at the typical 12V, 60Ah car battery. A process analysis was done with a view to determining the scalability of the processes. A review of relevant literature gives insights on the product structure and workings, material interactions, process requirements and the various manufacturing strategies and their respective benefits The process is designed with a bias for outsourcing, a growing trend in the direction of specialization and agile product development. Thus, the process is designed for assembly as a parallel/flow line hybrid work system. Next, economic models are developed to assess costs, profit, revenue and optimal production volume. Also, breakeven and Payback Period models are developed for determining the viability of the venture.It was found that with 11 workers, the facility yields up to 1173 units of car battery per month. This requires an initial capital investment of N1, 132,160. At an initial price of N 5,500, the product is expected to generate monthly revenue of N6,450,830 at full running capacity. Thus, a profit margin of N 3,015,340 was obtained, amounting to 46.7% of total revenue. Breakeven occurs at a demand of 121 units, which is 10.3% of the monthly production capacity. This study shows the potentials and entrepreneurial opportunities of investing in the small scale manufacture of engineering products. " 1 results 1

- Agile methods is the software development methodology and practices used in software industry in which the elements and principles of agile methods are used. Generally, the agile development process is an incremental work process that promotes the importance of customer satisfaction, collaboration, communication, teamwork, good quality and planned follow-up practices. The paper aims to discuss these issues. This paper first presents an overview of agile methods, addresses the most relevant ones for developing library management system then discusses the utilization of these methods in the context of the development of an integrated library management system presenting the case of Kenneth Dike Library, University of Ibadan. The Kenneth Dike Library, University of Ibadan after several attempts at automating its processes since the early 90’s eventually resolved to develop an in-house Library Automation System in 2015 using agile methods. The paper refers to definite initiatives taken to improve development processes as well as discuss the benefits and challenges when applying the agile methods in order to change traditional working culture and encourage end user participation in the building process. The following elements of agility can be considered the most effective and relevant: appreciating the needs of the customers, end-user participation and satisfaction, quality assurance, ability to redesign and make decisions fast and empowering the team, eliminating of waste. The paper finally highlights what the library can achieve by adapting a fresh approach for developing, evaluating and managing its operations and how the library staff can benefit from the agile way of working.

- Background. Vocational skill acquisition constitutes an important component of the educational process of training both young and old adults including out-of-school children. The purpose of this study was to assess the extent to which vocational skill acquisition training programme impacted the lives of beneficiaries taking into consideration the influence of socio-cultural and environmental factors on peoples’ participation in vocational skill acquisition training programmes in Ibadan Metropolis of Southwestern Nigeria. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 220 learners aged 11–50 years with at least two years of learning experience. Data were collected with a questionnaire and analyzed using frequency counts, percentages and chi-square analysis. Results. The results indicate that the majority of participants 41.3% (n=83) possesses National Diploma were unemployed youth graduates while 27.4% (n=55) possesses secondary education were out-of-school youth. A significant proportion of the age group 21 to 30 years constitutes the largest 65.7% (n=132) participated in vocational skill acquisition training programmes. The three socio-cultural important factors predicting peoples’ participation in skill acquisition training were cultural value system, social networks (family, friends and relatives) and customs and tradition disposition to vocational training programme. Again, the results also revealed that the three main environmental factors that influence learners’ participation in skill acquisition training were home environment (location of the training centres), society success stories on vocational skill acquisition and overemphasizing on skill acquisition to complement formal schooling. The main challenges facing learners to engage in vocation skill acquisition training programme were lack of motivation from the society, lack of modern machines and tools to work with after graduation, limited availability of industries for employment after graduation, limited opportunities for establishment after graduation and poor government policies on vocational skill acquisition programme. Conclusions. The out-of-school youths and unemployed youth graduates who participated in the study are willingly enrolled in vocational skill acquisition training programme based on the socio-cultural and environmental factors with the intention to acquired one skill or the other to be self-reliance. Having identified the importance of socio-cultural and environmental factors on peoples’ participation in vocational skill acquisition training programme will enable government put into consideration these factors in planning, organizing and implementing their vocational skill acquisition training programme in order to achieve desirable results on the citizenries. However, there are critical perceived barriers that need to be addressed, to enable more out-of-school youths and unemployed youth graduates with the desire to participate in vocational skill acquisition training programme to reduce unemployment rate in the country. 1 results 1
- Background: Child mortality remains unacceptably high, with Northern Nigeria reporting some of the highest rates globally (e.g. 192/1000 live births in Jigawa State). Coverage of key protect and prevent interventions, such as vaccination and clean cooking fuel use, is low. Additionally, knowledge, care-seeking and health system factors are poor. Therefore, a whole systems approach is needed for sustainable reductions in child mortality. Methods: This is a cluster randomised controlled trial, with integrated process and economic evaluations, conducted from January 2021 to September 2022. The trial will be conducted in Kiyawa Local Government Area, Jigawa State, Nigeria, with an estimated population of 230,000. Clusters are defined as primary government health facility catchment areas (n = 33). The 33 clusters will be randomly allocated (1:1) in a public ceremony, and 32 clusters included in the impact evaluation. The trial will evaluate a locally adapted ‘whole systems strengthening’ package of three evidence-based methods: community men’s and women’s groups, Partnership Defined Quality Scorecard and healthcare worker training, mentorship and provision of basic essential equipment and commodities. The primary outcome is mortality of children aged 7 days to 59 months. Mortality will be recorded prospectively using a cohort design, and secondary outcomes measured through baseline and endline cross-sectional surveys. Assuming the following, we will have a minimum detectable effect size of 30%: (a) baseline mortality of 100 per 1000 livebirths, (b) 4480 compounds with 3 eligible children per compound, (c) 80% power, (d) 5% significance, (e) intra-cluster correlation of 0.007 and (f) coefficient of variance of cluster size of 0.74. Analysis will be by intention-totreat, comparing intervention and control clusters, adjusting for compound and trial clustering. Discussion: This study will provide robust evidence of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of community-based participatory learning and action, with integrated health system strengthening and accountability mechanisms, to reduce child mortality. The ethnographic process evaluation will allow for a rich understanding of how the intervention works in this context. However, we encountered a key challenge in calculating the sample size, given the lack of timely and reliable mortality data and the uncertain impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. 1 results 1
- Background: The Global Commission for the Certification of the Eradication of Poliomyelitis will declare the world free of wild poliovirus transmission when no wild virus has been found in at least 3 consecutive years, and all laboratories possessing wild poliovirus materials have adopted appropriate measures of containment. Nigeria has made progress towards poliomyelitis eradication with the latest reported WPV type 1 on 21 Aug 2016 after 2 years without any case. This milestone achievement was followed by an inventory of biomedical laboratories completed in November 2015 with the destruction of all identified infectious materials. This paper seeks to describe the poliovirus laboratory containment process in Nigeria on which an effective containment system has been built to minimize the risk of virus re-introduction into the population from the laboratories. Methods: A national survey of all biomedical facilities, as well as an inventory of laboratories from various sectors, was conducted from June November 2015. National Task Force (NTF) members and staff working on polio administered an on-site questionnaire in each facility. Laboratory personnel were sensitized with all un-needed materials destroyed by autoclaving and incineration. All stakeholders were also sensitized to continue the destruction of such materials as a requirement for phase one activities. Results: A total of 20,638 biomedical facilities were surveyed with 9575 having laboratories. Thirty laboratories were found to contain poliovirus or potentially infectious materials. The 30 laboratories belonged to the ministries of health, education, defence and private organizations. Conclusions: This article is amongst the first in Africa that relates poliovirus laboratory containment in the context of the tOPV-bOPV switch in alignment with the Global Action Plan III. All identified infectious materials were destroyed and personnel trained to continue to destroy subsequent materials, a process that needs meticulous monitoring to mitigate the risk of poliovirus re-introduction to the population. 1 results 1
