Education is bound to be affected if safety and security concerns of students are not addressed fully. The objective of the study was to determine the role of financial resources in implementation of school safety measures in public boarding secondary schools in Trans- Nzoia County, Kenya. The study used descriptive survey research design. The study targeted 754 teachers from 40 public boarding secondary schools in Trans-Nzoia County. stratification and simple random sampling were used to select boarding secondary schools. The total sample was 143 teachers. Questionnaires were used as data collection instruments. Data was analysed using descriptive statistical techniques that were frequencies and percentages. Data was presented in tables. The study found out the ministry of education had no provisions for allocation of funds to take care of safety needs and requirements in the institutions. It ascertained that the secondary schools have vote heads allocated for the purpose of catering for the safety needs and requirements though in many instances the schools diverted the funds to other needs that they felt were more pressing owing to situation of shortfalls in financing and budgetary deficits. The government through the Ministry of Education should ensure that Standard Safety Guidelines are availed to all schools and the schools be allocated sufficient funds to be able to implement the guidelines. Funds should always be availed at the required times to allow for the provision of infrastructure for safety requirements and the allowing of purchase of tools and implements for safety needs.

The movement of people from one society to another society is called migration, this may be contemporary or permanent basis. This study assessed the consequences of rural-urban migration on the source region of Ughievwen clan in Ughelli South Local Government Area. secondary sources data were collected from journal publications and other published materials from textbooks and official gazette. The findings of the study show that females migrate more than the males in Ughievwen and migration is high within the age cohorts of 15-25 years and 26-35 years. Moreso, migration decreases with age, and this may be due to the higher psychological cost for migration associated with older people. Most of the persons in the community had acquired just their basic education. Thus, most of them are willing to migrate to major cities to obtain higher education. It has been widely observed that the propensity to migrate increases with education. Furthermore, the study revealed that migration is affected by socioeconomic, demographic and cultural factors. It was recommended that functional social amenities such as electricity, pipe borne water should be provided in the rural areas as a way forward against rural-urban movement

The school environment is one of the most important factor, in promoting learning at every stage of school life. If the environment is conducive, learning accelerates with time and age, that is true for CWSN too. School environment for ‘Children with special need’ consist of infrastructural design of the school, physical resources available at school, the academic resource available at classrooms and school, the behaviour of peers, seniors, school staff and teachers. It has been found that infrastructural facility like pathways, boundary wall, classrooms, toilets, drinking water improves CWSN enrolment as well as attendance. Analysis of data also demonstrates that beautification of school, cleanliness, behaviour of peers/teachers/support staff improves students engagement in school and learning. Teaching-learning aid of every kind support CWSN in engaging themselves in learning.

Cerebral germinoma represents i0.1 to i3.4% of intracranial tumors with a clear male predominance, it is developed more particularly in the pineal region. iIt most commonly affects adolescents and young adults. This type of tumor responds highly to radio-chemo-therapy and is potentially curable after surgery.

A separation cordial labeling of graph is a bijection f from to such that each edge uv is assigned the label 1 if ) is an odd number and label 0 if is an even number. Then the number of edges labeled 0 and the number of edges labeled 1 differ by at most 1. A graph has a separation cordial labeling, then it is called separation cordial graph. Here, the bistar the splitting graphs of and , the shadow graph of and square graph of are discussed and found to be separation cordial.

Seismic wave propagation through acoustic medium allows us to understand response through a fluid saturated medium. This interaction has been described by the acoustic wave equation. In this work, the acoustic wave equation was written in coupled form and was discretized using the staggered grid finite difference (SGFD) method, which provides improved accuracy and efficiency of the numerical modeling and are naturally centered at the same point in space and time. To truncate artificial reflections from our computational boundary, we have applied the perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing boundary condition. Our results show seismic wave propagating through a homogeneous medium and the effect of PML was clearly observed.

Participation is a phenomenon that has long been associated with the evolution of human life, but in the 1950s and 1960s, when imported programs from the West to developing was failed because of lack of people participation, regarding to this phenomenon and emphasis on its role as an agent of development was increased and after that, the foundation of development strategies, community participation approach was formed as a basic human need. Regarding to the importance of the topic in this research by using field method, techniques and survey questionnaire sought answers to this question” Social and cultural factors involved in the construction of mosques and religious site, what are people? Given the importance of social and cultural factors involved in the construction of mosques and popular religious site in this study to analyze the relationship between variables such as socio-economic status of family, religion, social trust, sex, age, and education as independent variables and relationships it was a turnout as the dependent variable. The results indicate that among all the independent variables with the dependent variable, there was a direct and significant relationship.

The decision Mechanism is the concluding phase of any decision making process. This paper discusses on the different methodologies available for implementing the decision mechanisms. The paper preambles with a brief description on set of conventional MCDM techniques like Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Simple Additive weighting Method (SAW) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), Grey Rational Analysis (GRA), along with benefits and limitations of each technique. The different intelligent/soft computing techniques that are widely used in decision making processes like fuzzy logic, neural networks are discussed and finally confines the discussion is confined to the different neural network (NN) based decision support systems. The paper proposes an architecture for fuzzy neural network based call admission control decision mechanism for heterogeneous wireless networks environment.

Alkylation reactions of phenol with dimerization products of devinylated C4-fraction obtained by the pyrolysis of low-octane gasoil were studied in the presence of KU-23 catalyst. Alkylation reaction was carried out on the continuous unit. As a result of alkylation reaction, it was studied the influence of temperature, time, initial components mol ratios and catalyst amount on the yield and selectivity. From the results of the researches it’s evident that alkylation of phenol pyrolysis process with dimerization products of C4-fraction in the presence of KU-23 catalyst are carried out under the following conditions: tempe¬rature 120°C, mole ratio of phenol to the fraction - 1:2, reaction time - 5 hours and catalyst amount - 10%. In this case the yield of the target product on phenol was 80.4%, and selectivity on the target pro¬duct was 95.7%.

To exploit limited spectrum efficiently CR technology allows unlicensed users to access licensed spectrum bands. Since licensed users have priorities to use the bands, the unlicensed users need to continuously monitor the licensed user’s activities to avoid interference and collisions. To obtain reliable results of the licensed user’s activities is the main task for spectrum sensing. Based on the sensing results the unlicensed users should adapt their transmit powers and access strategies to protect the licensed communications. This paper presents a new spectrum sensing method based on Time-Frequency Analysis. Several realistic signals are taken under different noisy conditions for analysis using Frequency Slice Wavelet Transform (FSWT) to verify its superiority in spectrum sensing.
