The study adopted a descriptive research design of a survey type. The population used for this study was all the available postgraduate’s students in the faculty of education totaling 325. The study sampled 84 postgraduate students using a simple random sampling techniques. A well-structured questionnaire was used to collect data for the study. The instrument was validated and its reliability was ensured in a pilot study carried on 10 postgraduate students who were not part of the sample. Mean and standard deviation were used to answered the research questions while one-sample t-test was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that environmental factors significantly affecting the quality of research writing of postgraduates’ students. Also, the study found that statistically, motivational factors are affecting the quality of research writing of postgraduate students in Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti. The study concluded that environmental and motivational factors can lead to subpar research outcomes and even prompt some students to consider discontinuing their postgraduate programs. The study recommended that; the University administration and faculty should address the environment issues by providing an enabling environment for postgraduate students which would improve their research writing, and that the University administration and faculty members should motivate postgraduate students through mentorship programs, scholarship or research grant, and recognition of their accomplishments.

However, the use of stabilised bricks has not been fully incorporated into high rise building construction due to its overall weight which is one of the major considerations for multi-story buildings. This research on light weight bricks was carried out to ascertain its suitability for various applications in high rise building and engineering constructions. The production was done using different percentages of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and Saw Dust (SD) to establish the percentage required for light weight construction while maintaining the optimum compressive strength required for performance in building construction comparable with that of a sandcrete block to confirm its suitability for use in multi- story construction projects. The experimental procedures used involved the use of Saw Dust obtained from the sawing process of wood at a saw mill, lateritic soil was collected from a borrow pit and ordinary Portland cement was obtained from an open market for producing the bricks. Various chemical and physical analyses were carried out on four samples of laterite soils and sawdust respectively. Liquid limits, plastic limits and water absorption of the soil samples were measured. The soils were then stabilized with cement and sawdust at 5, 10 and 15 % replacements. Bricks with size (300 x 150 x 150mm) were produced from the various mixes. After curing for 28 days, the brick samples were weighed to observe the varying degree of weight reduction with respect to the quantity of saw dust replacement. Compressive strength of the bricks was also examined to ensure that the strength of the bricks is within allowable limits for construction purposes. The reduction in weight and the corresponding compressive strength of the bricks were measured for conformity with ASTMS building codes and standards and were compared with that of a sandcrete block to establish its suitability for use in multi-story construction projects.] Keywords: Stabilization, Lightweight, Multi-storey construction, Bricks.","PeriodicalId":474842,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Multidisciplinary and Scientific Research Journal","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135131202","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 institutional and environmental factors influencing the clashes, associated effects on foodstuffs supply and demand, and the relevance of management options including modern cattle ranching were explored with the use of the descriptive research approach. The study employed well-structured questionnaire to collect data from 582 farmers in villages across the States. Findings of the study indicated that the farmers-herders clashes involving conflicts over land, water resources, and grazing continue to have significant effect on foodstuffs supply and demand in Nigeria. These have affected agricultural activities and the overall food production system in Nigeria. Addressing these clashes requires a holistic and multi-faceted approach that involves collaboration among government agencies, local communities, civil society organisations, and international partner through careful planning, community engagement, and focus on sustainability to ensure long-term benefits for both food production and economic development. The study therefore recommends Government active adoption of a bottom-top approach to policy decisions that facilitate dialogue and mediation between farmers and herders through engagement of community leaders, religious figures, and local authorities to hold the clashes at bay and sustainably increase foodstuffs supply and demand in Nigeria.

One of the reasons attributed to this is the insecurity of the votes of the electorates. To resolve this, scholars have adopted various mechanisms and technologies, for example, the use of Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA), Advanced Encryption StandardAES) and Elliptic Curves Cryptography (ECC). While these have added value to the body of knowledge in the conduct of elections in Nigeria, However, literature reveals that issue of insecurity of votes of electorate is still a current debate. The reason attributed to this, is due to the poor performance in terms of their key size, key strength and encryption time. This is addressed by using a Cloud based Elliptic Curve Cryptographic Digital signature (ECCDS) E-Voting system. The concept of the proposed system is to automatically encrypts, signs, decrypts votes and verifies the signed votes. The system is built on a hybridized security algorithms, these are; The ECC and Digital Signature Algorithm. This has a smart contractor that protect electorate votes against integrity modification in the cloud environment. The prototype demonstration is conducted during the students’ union election in Adekunle Ajasin University where the University ICT department is used as the cloud based network Infrastructure center. Three evaluation metrics are used. These are the key size, key strength and encryption time. The evaluation metrics shows a better performance of RSA, AES and ECC systems over the ECCD when considering the encryption time. The ECC and AES also perform better using the key size. For example, we recorded 167 bits for ECCDS, while RSA, AES and ECC algorithms recorded 163, 1024 and 64 bits respectively from one of the experiments under the key size. However, the beauty and the strength of good security system is the decryption time which is the key strength. From the experiment conducted using Key strength as the metric, we observed that ECCDS key strength is higher than that of AES, ECC and RSA. It means that it will take longer time for any intruder to decrypt the system when using the ECCDS model. This satisfy both the electorates and Electoral commission request and is very reliable and produces effective results. Keywords: E-voting, Integrity, Elliptic Curve, Cryptography, Digital Signature.

As more critical infrastructure, key services, and personal data are kept and sent via digital networks, the significance of cybersecurity in accomplishing the SDGs becomes clear. Through a comprehensive literature review, the paper analyses the role of cybersecurity in enhancing economic growth, promoting social inclusivity, and safeguarding environmental sustainability. The paper thoroughly analyses the seventeen (17) SDGs listed by the United Nations (UN) and their underlying goals. The paper looks at how cybersecurity relates to the SDGs, emphasising potential synergies and interdependencies. Finally, this paper emphasises the critical importance of recognising the interdependence between cybersecurity and sustainable development. By mapping cybersecurity with the SDGs, societies can harness the transformative power of digital technologies to build a secure, inclusive, and sustainable future for all.
