This is the finding of the systematic review that examines the enormous difficulties that visually impaired students encounter in inclusive education environments in different locations. This paper argues that learners may experience challenges but more often, the visually impaired are the most vulnerable and often left behind, encountering multifaceted barriers that will hamper their ability to move freely and affect their quality of life. The systematic search method was employed to determine the challenges, responsiveness, and coping mechanisms employed by the visually impaired and this study involved a systematic review of qualitative. Three search engines used were– Elicit, Research Rabbit, and Semantic Scholar- resulting in reviewing 40 articles from a keyword search. Despite the different locale of the studies, the challenges encountered by the visually impaired students were almost the same. It is however worth noting that visually impaired individuals have been coping with the challenges they face in inclusive education.","PeriodicalId":151974,"journal":{"name":"Cognizance Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141795834","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}

A study was conducted to explore the relationship between teacher motivation and job satisfaction in private primary schools in Kawempe Division, Kampala District in Uganda. The study assessed relationships between (i) extrinsic motivation and teachers’ job satisfaction; (ii) intrinsic motivation and teachers’ job satisfaction; and (iii) personal factors and teachers’ jobs. A cross-sectional survey design was employed to collect data from 88 teachers of 6 private primary schools in Kampala district. SPSS software was used to analyse the data. The study findings showed a strong positive correlation between extrinsic motivation and teacher’s job satisfaction (r=.572**, p<0.01); and intrinsic motivation and teacher’s job satisfaction (r=.694**, p<0.01). Personal factors and teachers’ job satisfaction however had a weak positive correlation (r=.244**, p<0.05). It is therefore concluded that teacher motivation has a statistically significant relationship with job satisfaction. The school administrators are therefore urged to regularly motivate teachers through the provision of teacher houses, classroom expansion, continuous appraisals, regular training, certificate awards at school assemblies and inculcation of religious values to teachers.","PeriodicalId":151974,"journal":{"name":"Cognizance Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies","volume":"3 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141795567","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}

UAV technology is highly utilized for various purposes, including object detection, tracking, traffic management, environment monitoring, and agriculture sector, mainly due to the ease of data collection compared to conventional remote sensing methods through satellites. This study focuses on enhancing the YOLOv5 architecture to effectively detect small targets. The modifications made to the YOLOv5 framework specifically target the architecture, resulting in improved performance in object identification. The addition of a new feature fusion layer within the feature pyramid section of YOLOv5 plays a crucial role in achieving these improvements. To maintain resolution and prevent the loss of valuable feature information in the deeper sections of the network, a lateral connection is introduced, connecting this layer to an earlier part of the network. This addition ensures that crucial details and feature data are preserved throughout the network architecture. Additionally, data augmentation techniques such as image saturation and cropping are employed.","PeriodicalId":151974,"journal":{"name":"Cognizance Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies","volume":"1 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141795896","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}
