The system is designed to check impersonation of examinees, aiding and abetting by teachers and other proctors, importing and submitting answer scripts written outside the approved examination halls and finally monitoring the script submission process to prevent swapping of answer booklets after completion of the examination. The proposed system consist of biometric authentication system, automated attendance system, Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras for video recording, a script submission system (SSS), a drop box for temporal storage of scripts and human monitors to analyse the recorded videos at monitoring center of the examination board. The system is designed to work even in remote areas with unstable internet as is the case with most examination centers in rural areas in Nigeria. When implemented the system will help check illegal activities in miracle examination centers and reduce examination malpractices by both examinees and proctors drastically.","PeriodicalId":282447,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCES","volume":"229 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139171109","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 new generated distribution is expected to be more flexible and have wider acceptability in modeling and predicting real world data sets. In this research, we proposed and study an extension of Ikum distribution using Zubai G- Family (2018) of distribution called Z-Ikum distribution. Expression of some basic structural properties of the new distribution such as cdf, pdf, quantile functions, moments, moment generating function, characteristics function and order statistics was derived. Survival function, hazard rate function, commutative hazard rate function and reversed hazard rate function was also discussed. Plots of the hazard rate function showincrease, decrease and bathtub shapes.Estimation of the proposed distribution parameters was carried out using MLE method. Performance of the parameter estimation was also evaluated via simulation studies. Result of the simulation studies indicates that our estimator is consistent. Three life data sets were used to evaluate the performance of our proposed distribution over some existing distributions. Result of the empherical study revealed that our proposed distribution performwell in modeling real life data than the competing distributions.","PeriodicalId":282447,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCES","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139209500","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 present study was carried out to analyze and quantify the levels of seven potentially toxic heavy metals namely Magnesium, lead, cadmium, copper, iron, chromium and nickel in Action Bitter alcoholic herbal bitter. Twenty one ACTION BITTER alcoholic bitter samples were previously pretreated and homogenized were digested and analyzed to obtain a concentration of Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr),Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Magnesium (Mg), Nickel (Ni) and lead (Pb) using atomic absorption spectrophotometer equipped with graphite tube atomizer. The concentration obtained are Cadmium (0.017 mg/l),Chromium (0.061 mg/l),Copper (0.056 mg/l), Iron (0.223 mg/l), Magnesium (1.118 mg/l), Nickel (0.112 mg/l) and lead (-0.073 mg/l). The analysis of heavy metals can be useful to evaluate the dosage of herbal drinks prepared from these plants. Therefore, it is of great importance to establish universal standards and quality requirements for hazardous elements in herbal drinks so that this natural resource can continue and expand further, to benefit health globally.","PeriodicalId":282447,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCES","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139211841","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}

Successes in treatment of tuberculosis lead to reduction in transmission, complications, and mortality among patients. The outbreak of COVID-19 drew the attention of governments and healthcare practitioners. This study considers the effect of COVID-19 on Tuberculosis treatment. Data were sourced from Taraba and Adamawa States in North-east Nigeria. A total of 8820 patients’, records were used, with 3001 from Adamawa State and 5819 from Taraba State which involved TB patients’ records. At the bivariate level, the Pearson Chi-square test was employed to measure the association between the treatment outcome and the independent variables (local government area, treatment facility ownership, treatment regimen, patients’ supported, disease site, gender, HIV status and year of treatment). Thereafter multinomial Poisson regression analysis was performed on all statistically significant variables identified at the bivariate analysis. Decisions were taken based on p-value and odds ratios. The results of this study shows that the overall treatment success and cure rate across the States was on the average, 92.7% and 49.8% respectively. The highest treatment success rate of 94.5% was achieved in year 2021, while the year 2020 witnessed the highest cure rate of 53.5%. The overall cure rate of 49.8% is below the WHO recommendation. This study recommends that the non-pharmaceutical protocols to curtail the spread of COVID-19 should be strengthened in order to curtail TB spread, and that all TB patients should be tested for HIV.","PeriodicalId":282447,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCES","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139213921","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}
