Five (5) concentrations of calcium hypochlorite (45mg/l, 65mg/l, 85mg/l, 105mg/l, and 125mg/l) were prepared for the experiment using well water. The snails were then exposed to the different concentrations of the calcium hypochlorite solution in glassware for 48 hours with 3 replicates per treatment in a completely randomized design to determine the LC50 and LC90. A control treatment was also set up for the experiment using well water. The results showed that Calcium hypochlorite had a remarkable molluscicidal activity on the snails, with a 93.33% percentage mortality rate recorded in Potadoma moerchi at 48 hours and 100% recorded from 32 hours for Potadoma freethi snails in the two highest concentrations. After the 48-hour assay, the mean LC50 and LC90 for P. moerchi were 91.42mg/l and 126.27mg/l, while the mean LC50 and LC90 for P. freethi were 51.98mg/l and 94.33mg/l. Calcium hypochlorite demonstrated effective molluscicidal activity against both snails and may be useful in controlling intermediate hosts of paragonimiasis, and its deployment in slow-flowing or stagnant water bodies","PeriodicalId":14101,"journal":{"name":"International journal of innovative research and development","volume":"81 5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80610032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Investigating the Effects of Integration on the Development of Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching: A Case of Pre-Service Teachers in the Colleges of Education in Ghana amidst Curriculum Changes","authors":"Bliss Cornelius Sedega","doi":"10.24940/ijird/2023/v12/i1/jan23009","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24940/ijird/2023/v12/i1/jan23009","url":null,"abstract":"The study examined the effects of integration on the development of Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT) among pre-service teachers while enrolled in a math program at the colleges of education in Ghana in the face of the new curriculum. In all, two hundred and forty-seven (247) pre-service teachers (PSTs) were sampled for the study. The experimental group comprised one hundred and thirty (130) PSTs who were taught both Mathematics content and method courses in an integrated manner, while the control group, comprised of one hundred and seventeen (117) PSTs, was taught Mathematics content and method courses separately. The non-equivalent static-group comparison design was used for the study. Both groups of PSTs were post-tested after they had received instruction in mathematics courses up to the point where they were ready to go for their macro teaching (Off Campus Teaching Practice) to compare their achievements in terms of their mathematical knowledge for teaching. Analysis of data using the independent sample t-test revealed that the control group had a mean score lower than the experimental group, and the standard deviation showed that the scores of the control group were far from their mean score. That is, the scores of the control group were more heterogeneous than that of the experimental group. The experimental group scored higher than the control group on the post-test, and their scores were more homogeneous than the control group. At a significant level of 0.05, there was a statistically significant difference between the means of the two groups on the post-test. With a mean difference of 5.042, the experimental group performed better than the control group on the post-test. Hence, the students in the experimental group turned out to achieve better on MKT components than the students in the control group. It was recommended, among others, that the use of the integrated approach in the teaching and learning of Mathematics should be encouraged, monitored, and supported throughout the Colleges of Education in Ghana.","PeriodicalId":14101,"journal":{"name":"International journal of innovative research and development","volume":"289 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90797716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Producing documents using computer-supported methods has become common practice in the institution but the management of documents is still done with manual methods. It is also worth noting that the increased volume of document production and distribution through e-mail systems and workstation-based file managers has aggravated problems in document security, control, tracking, and retrieval. In this work, a secured cloud-based electronic document management system was designed (SECEDOMAS). The system consists of three processes, namely: The document entry process, Electronic document management system (EDMS), and Document retrieval and sharing process The system was implemented using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Laravel (PHP framework), and MySQL. An Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm was used to encrypt the documents stored and shared to prevent the documents from unauthorized users. The system was tested using the document of exams and records unit of Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology, Okitipupa. The performance shows that it is effective in storing, retrieving, and sharing processes. SECEDOMAS is well-structured, more efficient, secure, and durable.","PeriodicalId":14101,"journal":{"name":"International journal of innovative research and development","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81300541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, this paper investigates the influence of smallholder farmers' socio-economic characteristics on the adoption of OF in Kisii Central, Kisii County. The study adopted mixed-method research that involved a household survey and key informants. The results indicate that the major socio-economic characteristics influencing smallholder farmers' adoption of organic farming were farm size (79%), income (73%), family size (67%), and age (66%). In addition, there is a positive correlation between education and the use of crop residues (r=0.113), animal manure (r=0.114), and cover crop (r=0.121).

The study aims to obtain complete information about optimizing the recovery of state losses in cases of corruption which can be carried out using the mutual legal assistance model, and obstacles to optimizing the recovery of state losses in corruption cases using the mutual legal assistance model. The study shows that efforts to recover state losses in corruption cases can be carried out in various ways, one of which is the mutual legal assistance (MLA) model. MLA plays an essential role in recovering assets obtained from corruption crimes, especially assets taken abroad by corruption perpetrators. MLA can run optimally if there is a strong synergy between stakeholders. Efforts to return 'stolen' state assets (stolen asset recovery) through criminal acts of corruption tend not to be easy to do. Corruption perpetrators have extraordinary access and are difficult to reach in hiding or money laundering the proceeds of their corruption crimes. An international institution, the Basel Institute on Governance, the International Center for Asset Recovery stated that: 'asset recovery is a difficult task and is fraught with the complications of the banks involved, the navigation of a costly international legal labyrinth and the fact that those implicated in public looting are usually those with the most power and influence'. ","PeriodicalId":14101,"journal":{"name":"International journal of innovative research and development","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80371061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of the stocks kept in organizations are characterized by excessive inventory on hand, raw materials losing their quality, improper sourcing methods, poor personnel management skills, etc. There also exists a lack of accurate and timely information. In order to arrest these deficiencies, an adaptive web-based inventory control system was developed. The current inventory in the storage unit of Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology (OAUSTECH), Okitipupa was captured. Collection of data from the Procurement and Store Unit was done through interviews, observation of record books, and some printable data. The system was implemented using PHP, HTML files, BOOTSTRAP, and MySQL. The outcomes are the generation of timely alert messages and reports to management when the inventory level reaches an out-of-stock threshold, computation of various inventory analyses such as price levels, lead-time analysis, replenishment period demand analysis, vendors' delivery performance, and generation of low-cost stock recommender system.","PeriodicalId":14101,"journal":{"name":"International journal of innovative research and development","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86527504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
