Abstract: Despite the fact that other devastating diseases have overshadowed AIDs, in Africa, particularly this year of COVIC 19, pandemic, AIDs is still an issue in impoverished Africa. This study was undertaken to find out the impact of inclusion of sex education into the secondary school curriculum in the ongoing fight against HIV/AIDs, and other sexually transmitted diseases(STDs). The was carried out in five selected secondary schools in Kwali area council of federal capital territory(FCT), Nigeria. The population of the study comprise of 184 students and teachers across the selected schools, and the instrument used was a well-structured questionnaire. The result was analyzed using chi-square goodness of fit analysis test. The result showed the following amongst others; that the inclusion of sex education into the secondary school curriculum will have a significant impact in the fight against HIV/AIDs and other STDs at P>0.05, rejecting null hypothesis 1, and accepting the alternative hypothesis. It also affirmed that teaching sex education in Nigeria secondary schools will have significant impact in reviving the deteriorated sexual morality in the society at P>0.05, hence the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis retained. Above all teaching sex education in our secondary schools will have a significant impact on our national development at P>0.05. The following recommendations amongst others were made, that parents should relate well with their children in order to create the right atmosphere for the opportunity to teach their wards sexuality. School administrators should create avenues of teaching sexuality to students by creating club and societies, organizing quiz and debates centered on awareness on HIV/AIDs, and other STDs and others, and above all government should include its teaching in the curriculum.

Abstract: A study was carried out to investigate the influence of Phyto-environmental variables on mosquitoe abundance and malaria prevalence amongst student in University of Uyo town campus. Data on the abundance of female mosquitoes were obtained from weekly collections at 4 sampling stations within the study area between 07:00 and 09:00am hours throughout the season (June – July 2020). In order to provide information on incidence of malaria among individuals in each location, structured questionnaires were randomly administered to 80 respondents (20 in each location) on a weekly basis for four rounds. The results showed that the distribution of malaria vector in the study locations and on a temporal scale differed significantly. Conclusively, malaria seems endemic in location 3 and the highest prevalence was recorded in week 3. The location and the periods with high prevalence are believed to present ambient conditions favourable for increased ovipositioning and vectoral competence. Adequate understanding of vector ecology is needed to control mosquito particularly in deploying environmental modification around host settlements.

Abstract: The investigation of extreme events is extremely relevant for a range of disciplines in mathematical, natural, and social sciences and engineering. Understanding the large fluctuations of the system of interest is of great importance from a theoretical point of view, but also when it comes to assessing the risk associated with low probability and high impact events. In many cases, in order to gauge preparedness and resilience properly, one would like to be able to quantify the return times for events of different intensity and take suitable measures for preventing the expected impacts. Prominent examples are weather and climate extremes, which can have a huge impact on human society and natural ecosystems. The present uncertainty in the future projections of extremes makes their study even more urgent and crucial

AbstractThis study was designed to examine the level of polymerization of sickle cell disease and methaeglobin in the presence of paracetamol using standard procedures. The present study has shown the level of polymerization of sickle cell disease and methaemoglobin in the presence of paracetamol. Within the experimental time of 30-180s, the relative polymerizations range between the following; 70.43 ± 0.87 to 72.10 ± 0.37 at the control (0 mg/dL), at 50 mg/dL, there was an increase from 65.78 ± 0.89 to 69.47±1.00, at 100 mg/dL there was an increase in the polymerization from 68.96 ± 0.99 to 72.33 ±1.02, at 200 mg/dL there was an increase in the polymerization from 65.96 ± 69.26 ± 1.00 and at 500 mg/dL, there was an increase in the polymerization form 66.05 ± 0.98 to 69.42 ± 0.92. This increase in polymerization can be said to be due to the increase in the absorbance of paracetamol. However, the absorbance of the polymerization mixture in the presence of the malarial drug was not significantly different (p<0.05) from the control sample at the 30second. The present study showed that the level of polymerization of HbS molecules was attenuated upon the introduction of the anti-malarial drugs in the polymerizing mixture. The percentage of methaemoglobin increases with the increase in concentration of paracetamol from 2.77 ± 0.05 to 3.30 ± 0.03 starting from 0mg/dL to 500mg/dL concentration.

Abstract: This study investigates mathematics and the growth of small scale enterprises in Port-Harcourt. The research used a survey design. The sample of the research comprises of one hundred and twenty (120) small scale entrepreneurs. The research was conducted in different business areas of Port-Harcourt through a simple random technique. The researches comprise two Research questions and two hypotheses to guide the study. The instrument of data collection was questionnaires and interviews. Arithmetic mean was used to analyze the result. The result of the data analysis shows significant difference in the mean scores of the small scale entrepreneurs without mathematical skills and the small scale entrepreneurs with mathematical skills in favor of the small scale entrepreneurs with mathematical skills. The finding also revealed that male entrepreneurs with mathematical skills grow their business higher than their female counterparts. It was therefore, recommended that the operators of small scale enterprises should acquire mathematical skill to enhance their business growth.

Abstract: In this research paper we analyse and compare the economies of scale and technical change in Haryana manufacturing industries at aggregate and disaggregate level and before and after economic liberalisation. It is well recognized fact that among many sources of total factor productivity growth, technical (both direct and indirect) change and economies of scale are largest contributing sources, so it becomes all the more important to discuses these two separately. The estimates of Scale economies and rate of technical change for different industrial groups of Haryana manufacturing industries are  reported in table 4.1. The elasticity of cost with respect to output measures scale economies and the magnitude of  neutral technical change effect, non-neutral technical change effect and scale augmenting technical change effect is reflected in the estimates of  calculated for different industrial groups and reported.

AbstractAt present, the calculation of 2nd/3rd/4th degree equations in one variable is complicated, and it is difficult to universally apply. There is no solution for entangled one-variable 5th degree calculus equations. Propose a circle logarithm algorithm: One of the highlights is the integration of discrete data statistics and entangled neural network analysis, and arithmetic analysis is performed between unlabeled circle logarithms {0 to 1}. It involves the foundation of mathematics, the reform of traditional calculus, and the algorithm of a new generation of computer neural networks. Here is a reorganization of the bylaws to solve the complete problem of the 2nd/3rd/4th/5th degree calculus equation, and provide relevant experts, scholars, readers to verify and check the calculation, and it can also be converted into the compilation of new computer programs.

Abstract Daily solar radiation reaching the land surface is one of the most common parameters used in modeling and projects of hydrology, agriculture, meteorology and climatology. Most estimating models of radiation reaching the land surface using satellite data are based on the land surface temperature. In this study, the accuracy of solar radiation estimation was studied using artificial neural network models and M5 model tree, with the inputs including land surface temperature and water vapor of MODIS sensor in combination with extraterrestrial radiation. The solar radiation data were collected from six stations in three consecutive years (2003- 2005) and used as actual data. The stations include (Bojnoord, Isfahan, Hamadan, Kermanshah, Khurobiabanak and Tabriz). Based on the results, the neural network model of Khurobiabanak station with R 2 0 /97 and Hamadan station with the R 2 0/71, have the highest and the lowest accuracy in estimating solar radiation, respectively. The results showed that both models estimate the radiation reaching the Earth's surface with good accuracy and provide almost identical results.
