Ten readings of the wind speed data was obtained from five sampled sites located within the selected local government areas. The results revealed that the mean wind speed for Bomadi, Uvwie , Warri South, Warri North, and Warri South West LGAs is 2.36 m/s, 4.50 m/s, 2.19 m/s, 2.05 m/s and 2.5 1m/s respectively. Similarly, the wind power densities (WPD) for the aforementioned areas are 8.03 W/m^2, 44.91 W/m^2, 6.46 W/m^2 5.30 W/m^2 and 9.73 W/m^2 respectively. The data obtained was analysed statistically using linear regression and the results revealed that there is correlation between the wind speed and the temperature with R^2 values 96%, 73%, 55%, 92% and 89% for Bomadi, Uvwie, Warri South, Warri North and Warri South West LGAs respectively. Thus, indicating that wind speed is a function of temperature. In addition, Bomadi, Warri South, Warri North and Warri South West are suitable for small wind generation (domestic use) and this finding is based on the results of the wind speed obtained from the locations. However, the mean wind speed for Uvwie local Government Area (4.50 m/s) indicates that area is suitable for large wind generation (commercial use). Lastly, the obtained data was compared to the Battelle Wind Energy Classification Scheme and the results of the above mentioned study areas fell into the Class 1 Wind Resource Power Category, WPD ? 100 W/m2 and for wind speed ? 4.4 m/s. This indicates that the wind resource of the areas under study are suitable for domestic use.","PeriodicalId":246139,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Research in Engineering & Multidisciplinary Physical Sciences","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115729038","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}

The purpose of this study was to compare practice of Vocational Education Teacher Training between Tanzania and China. This study employed quantitative research strategy. Data was collected by use of questionnaires and the data analyzed by the aid of Statistical Package of Social Scientists Program (SPSS) and Microsoft Office Excel. The findings unveiled that a majority of the respondents from China have both had academic and job experience on what they are teaching, while most of Tanzanians had only academic experience. China has extensively invested in Vocational Education Teachers’ Training compared to Tanzania, and support given to Vocational Education Teachers’ Training in Tanzania is not satisfactory. Also, the findings portray that unlike China, VET teachers in Tanzania are not satisfied with training opportunities and dislike their careers which make them working while waiting for another alternative. Findings designated that the government of China is very serious in ensuring Vocational Education Teacher Training quality but in Tanzania, the government to the moderate extent is serious in ensuring such quality. Correspondingly, study findings revealed that Vocational Education Teachers’ Training are not provided with reasonable resources and standards in Tanzania which call for immediate resolution. The conclusions of this study are; (i) compared to Tanzania, Vocational Education Teachers Training in China is very inspiring as large extent VET teachers possess occupation relevant knowledge, academic and job experience on what they are teaching; and China’s Government has invested in Vocational Education Teacher Training; (ii) Vocational Education Teachers in Tanzania are not satisfied with training opportunities in their career; they do not love their job to great extent and they just work because they do not have any other alternatives compared to Chinese Vocational Education Teachers; (iii) Also, in order to enhance the training of Tanzanian Vocational Education Teachers Training, education agencies work together to shape and develop the Vocational Education Teachers Training.","PeriodicalId":246139,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Research in Engineering & Multidisciplinary Physical Sciences","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124314867","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}

As a result of some cost cutting measures adopted by firms employees found regression in their career. This led to de-motivation and dissatisfaction among employees. This calls for reengineering of human resource practices and managing human capital more effectively and intelligently. Human capital management (HCM) refers to the set of human resource management practices that enhance the value of employees to the organization. The important elements of Human Capital management include Organizational vision and values, Strategic Goals and objectives and HCM leadership team. Success of HCM depends on effective management of human capital data, human capital initiatives and human capital development. Changing business environment conditions demand HR professionals to go in for intensive reskilling. Most of the organizations are using data analytics to integrate employee data from various divisions of the organization across the world to improve performance management, employee engagement and leadership development programs. In all modern organizations, HR teams are going through different phases of HR transformation. The HR practices that perfectly optimize the workforce competencies of one organization may not be best fit for another organization. Each organization has to find the right competencies to focus on with regard to talent acquisition, talent management and talent optimization.

Indeed, the seemingly endless queues outside banks, and the difficulty of spending cash at shops and stalls may have seemed like it did. But the decision to demonetize the 500 and 1,000 rupee notes was just one in a series of moves that will push India towards a digital economy. The demonetization was implemented with the aim of eliminating societal corruption and counterfeit currency. But the move was sudden, happening overnight. The two notes accounted for 86% of the bank notes in circulation in India, and retailers and consumers were forced to look immediately for options. Many turned to digital paying systems. The digital money strategy has been laid out by Prime Minister Modi’s government from its early days in power, via a string of major decisions. The vision of Digital India aims to transform the country into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. Digital literacy assumes paramount importance at an individual level for truly and fully leveraging the potential of the Digital India programme. It provides citizens with the ability to fully exploit the digital technologies to empower themselves. It helps them seek better livelihood opportunities and become economically secure. Digital India campaign is a new concept which has a potential of transforming India into a knowledge economy powered by digital connectivity and the technological opportunities. Digitization of India will not only increase the efficiency of the government and public sector but also bring growth in the economy.
