As such, considering the destruction that has been occurring if treated lightly, every architectural design must consciously and constantly bear in mind, the goal of avoiding such disaster. Resting on this premise, this paper aimed at identifying major design approaches that need to be adopted to achieve optimum fire safety in buildings, right from the design stage. The paper adopted a narrative literature review approach to identify grounded design considerations related to fire and fire safety. One of the findings was that a design must be carried out with the conscious intention to provide a high level of safety affordances to occupants of buildings and their properties in case of fire outbreaks. Much of the affordances should be related to smoke, which tends to be more dangerous than the fire itself. The paper is highly significant for any architectural design since it seemed to avoid the likely destruction of everything and everyone that a person has possessed or has ever loved.","PeriodicalId":149441,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science Engineering Technology and Management","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122041230","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}

This paper aims at reviewing the student prediction performance of students based on their interactivity with the eLearning activities in MOODLE and MOOCs, this was achieved with the use of the student log files and some additional data about the particular student. The performance prediction was investigated using Decision Tree (C4.5 algorithm), Artificial Neural Network, Support Vector Machine (SVM) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm techniques, in order to find the best technique for the student’s prediction. In addition, the analysis of log files indicates that the rate of interactivity with e-learning environment has a significant impact on their performance as the students with highest interactivity on the MOODLE tend to have higher performance than those with low interactivity rate. From the analysis we can observe that the students spend more time on e-learning MOODLE than MOOCs, and because of that they are missing advantages of the available resources on MOOCs such as watching lecture videos, participating in quizzes, which may assist them in their study.","PeriodicalId":149441,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science Engineering Technology and Management","volume":"65 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133309142","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}

This was with a view to investigating the cause(s) of the persistent pavement failure recorded over the years along the road. The resistivity survey utilized 1-D Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) with the Schlumberger array was employed for this research. Total field data were acquired along the identified segments of the road at 5 m intervals. The data were inverted into resistivity structures and were used to constrain the location of the five (5) VES stations. The VES curves were interpreted quantitatively and the results were used to generate 3-D geoelectric sections. The geoelectric sections were characterized by the presence of sedimentary rocks whose materials can either be sandstone, Shale or Limestone with a resistivity value of 41.7-354.1 Ωm, the hardpan layer has a resistivity value of 41.7Ωm which indicates the presence of clay at 4.7 m depth. The fractured basement has a resistivity value of 354.1 Ωm which indicates the presence of rocks which can either be sandstone, Shale or Limestone for VES 1. Also, Alluivium, soils and water at 80 Ωm and 126.8 Ωm at VES 2. VES 3 indicates the presence of metamorphic rocks which can either be basalt, marble, quartzite at a resistivity value of 4815.3 Ωm. It can be seen from the research that clay was found at every depth ranging from 1.4 to 3m which isnt a good material for construction. Geophysical survey should not be neglected as it gelps us to know the geological properties of the underlying soil structure.","PeriodicalId":149441,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science Engineering Technology and Management","volume":"248 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121674463","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}

Subsequently, both social and scholastic exercises and activities among students of institutions of higher learning are swiftly brought about through social media networking platforms (SMNPs), for example, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and so on. These are generally utilized by students for different purposes. As of late, the utilization of social media networking platforms (SMNPs) has become a fundamental and reasonable piece of everyday correspondence among students. The utilization of SMNPs has a significant impact on students in tremendous manners, most particularly on their social cooperation and connections. The purpose of this research is to explore the utilization of social media networking platforms (SMNPs) amongst students of higher institution and the effect it has on their social relationship. An organized survey was structured and disseminated among the students who are viewed as dynamic users of social media networking platforms (SMNPs). The outcomes gotten shows that social media networking platforms (SMNPs) which is utilized most among the students is Twitter and Facebook and we additionally discovered that the number of hours that is being used on SMNPs each day is between 1-12 hours. Discoveries additionally shows that majority of the students utilize SMNPs significantly to stay in contact with family members, loved ones, as this is best effects that SMNPs have on the students. Additionally, our investigation shows that SMNPs majorly affects the social relationship of students as it has ousted most face-to-face communication, so they no longer observe it essential to interface or speak with a large portion of their contacts vis-à-vis. In any case, the students communicated their interests about the security and protection issues of SMNPs as a significant negative impact on their association on the SMNPs. More tenable approach and procedure ought to be imbued into the platforms for sheltered and satisfactory utilization of individual data that are being posted on the platforms. it shows the frequency of duration for which the respondents have been using any of the SMNPs. 7.0% of the respondents have been using SMNPs for the duration of 1-6 months, while 15.0% have been using SMNPs for the duration of 7-12 months and 78% of the respondents have been using SMNPs for more than a year from the period of these survey. It shows that most students are actually very familiar and experienced users of the SMNPs . study and a huge number of the students spend between 1- 12 hours daily on SMNPs. the results also show that majority of the students make use social media networking platforms for the ultimate purpose of getting in touch with their family and friends as most students are so keen about that.","PeriodicalId":149441,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science Engineering Technology and Management","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126138068","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}
