Abstract:
Traditionally, Photovoltaic (PV) modules have been perceived as technical devices other than design elements, often integrated onto building envelopes in more often than not as a non-aesthetical component thereby appearing as afterthoughts. This in the end compromises a building’s design aesthetics while in pursue of green and clean energy. Furthermore in Uganda, the energy costs of operating facilities especially large building portfolios such as hotels, shopping malls and arcades are consistently rising due to the high rate of growth of demand for electricity.

Abstract:
In these days, what we used to know as freak weather is no longer freak after all, but something to be expected, something that occurs, if not with seasonal regularity but with frequencies of alarming quantities. Therefore, weather abnormalities form a clear and present danger and so well all have to chip in to give momentum to that noble and grand effort to establish a green infrastructure on this planet. The essence of putting to place a green infrastructure is to reduce energy consumption, a necessary evil in the present day civilized and progressive society.

Abstract:
Effective Project Management is entirely dependent on an individual with great leadership skills, because without a good leader, a project is unlikely to be completed successfully. The successful completion of projects is the primary responsibility and goal of the Project Manager, who will have a lot of weight on their shoulders when it comes to making the right decisions. While some people possess natural leadership qualities, other leadership skills must be learned and adapted to ensure that each individual’s approach to leadership is tailored to suit their own individual style and personality.

Abstract:
Zinc is highly reactive in all kinds of environments and has a natural tendency to form different types of corrosion products with different corrosion rates. Electrochemical studies typically use a conventional three-electrode setup to study the mechanisms and propose advanced corrosion models. However, for certain electrochemical applications a two-electrode configuration is more suitable. In particular, the analysis of atmospheric corrosion with microelectrodes under very thin electrolyte layers would benefit from such a configuration. In this investigation, a two-electrode configuration was compared with a conventional three-electrode cell to study the corrosion behavior of zinc.

Abstract:
Dialect refers to regional variety of language with differences in vocabulary, grammar as well as pronunciation. Dialect therefore is a kind of variation that exists in the use of language from one part of the region to the other that shares the same language. A language without dialect is in the verge of extinction. Hausa language is very rich in terms of number of speakers that uses the language across the Hausaland and beyond. This makes the language to be a lingua franca and as such has various dialects. The Hausa scholars classified Hausa dialect into Western and Eastern dialects respectively. This paper therefore is aim at exploring the relevance of Hausa dialect in Hausa regional identity.The methodology to employed in carrying out the research is by careful observation of the use of dialects by the respective speakers of Hausa dialectical regions.

Abstract:
International development platforms and commitments have expressed the need for male-partner participation in Maternal and Child Wellbeing (MCW) programmes pointing to the beneficial effects of their participation. Men have a clear role in decision making regarding their families’ reproductive health, however their participation has remained low especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. Many factors could be implied for their low level of participation some of which are related to the programme policies and their implementation. In Kiambu County, Kenya, where this study was carried out, a low (3%) male partner level of participation in maternal and child well-being programmes (Kiambu County Strategic Plan for 2008-2012) was identified as a challenge to successful implementation of the programmes. There was no earlier study on factors that could be implied for the low male participation.

Abstract:
Nitrogen is a macro nutrient that is essential to crop growth and production. One of the major constraints to sustainable crop production on the Jos Plateau is soil fertility. The availability of nitrogen and other essential plant nutrients in the soil is a key indicator of soil fertility. The content of nitrogen in soils is affected by a number of factors such as drainage, texture and slope steepness. This study was conducted on one of the important parent materials on the Jos Plateau, biotite-granite, taking into account the influence of topography and management practices by farmers. The result showed that the nitrogen content of the soils were quite low.

Abstract:
Mathematics is taken as one of the difficult subject in school education. One of the reasons for taking mathematics as a difficult subjects is due to its abstract nature. The metaphor is a mapping of two conceptual domains: sources and target. The source domain helps student to translate their everyday experiences into an abstract and unfamiliar mathematical content knowledge known as target domain.

Abstract:
Nanotechnology involves the application of materials at the nanoscale to new products or processes. The interest in nanomaterials is a result of the extreme dependence of properties (electronic, magnetic, optical, mechanical, etc.) on particle size and shape in the 1-100 nm regime. The 1-100 nm scale is of interest for biological interfaces because objects less than 12 nm in diameter may cross the blood-brain barrier [.Sonavane ,et al;2008 ] and objects of 30nm or less can be endocytosed by cells [Connor,et al; 2005].However the impact of these nanomaterials on environmental health remains unclear.( Maynard,et al;2006).

Abstract:
This study examines women- versus-women language use to underscore the fact that women languages are never neutral but embody ideologies and power relations. Literature is filled with men versus women discourses with more of stereotypical conclusions about women language use, leading to voicelessness in respect of women versus women subjugation. Using the tool of Critical Discourse Analysis, this study examined some excerpts from a Nigerian film titled A Little Lie to underscore some systems of bias and subjugation in some women’s language against their sisters. The analysis of the women language use showed evidences of superiority/inferiority and domination of some women by other women as a result of childlessness The study recommends that the identity of a woman among her peers should not be determined by whether she has a child or not. In addition, an intentional effort be made to throw in voices into this voiceless area by feminists’ proponents, in order to liberate some of these women who are treated as less than a human by other women.

Abstract:
Data Science, a field that puts order into chaos, transforms the ambiguity of abstractions into tangible information, and moves beyond mere theories to introduce concrete changes in the world around us. Change! An abstract notion likely to become concrete if the promising developments this field has to offer are successfully implemented in developing countries where the infrastructure does not allow for a smooth use of the strategies and techniques opted for in developed countries. My article was initially inspired by Professor Joshua Evan Blumenstock’s attempt at establishing an alliance between Data Science and Economy with the view of using the former as an efficient tool to eradicate poverty.

Abstract:
Specific allocation funds to the regions are still needed due to inequality of regional financial capacity. Areas with low financial capability are identical to those underdeveloped regions, which have relatively low levels of economic growth and high level of unemployment. This study analyzes the impact of specific allocation funds on economic growth and unemployment through the regional expenditure mechanism, using panel data from 2010-2015, while the simultaneous equation model is estimated using the Two Stage Least Square (2SLS) method. The results of the study indicate that the Specific Allocation Fund does not affect capital expenditures in the regency areas, but does so in the cities. Specific Allocation Funds have a significant influence on economic growth and unemployment through capital expenditure transmission. Going forward, the government needs to increase.

Abstract:
A study on the major fisheries was conducted from August 2017 to April 2018 in coastal provinces of the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Results showed that the gillnets, trawl nets, and stow nets were the main fishing gears, accounted for the highest number of fishing boats and yields. All the fishing gears exploited for the whole year-round. The results also indicated that gillnets fishery is the largest scale (10.99 tons). The most effective fishing activity of gillnets fishy was the highest profit (298 million VND per year) (p <0.05). However, the highest fishing yield (20.42 tons/year) was found in trawler but it had the lowest rate of return (0.45 times) and trash-fish portion accounted the highest ratio (38.4%). Although the stow nets had highest rate of return (1.41 times), but they were lowest yield (7.17 tons/year) and high portion of trash-fish. The high proportion of trash-fish may affect to fisheries resources. For the sustainable development of the fisheries in the Mekong Delta, the development and management of fisheries resources should be promoted, supporting fishermen to access low interest rates to invest in capture production, and training fishermen to use advanced fishing gear to increase their fishing efficiency.

Abstract:
Globally, high maternal and infant morbidity and mortality rates have more often than not been associated with the low consumption of services offered within the maternal and child well-being programmes. Inability of the mothers to register for the programmes has partially been implied on the low support accorded to them by their male partners. Male partner participation in the programmes is on the other hand associated with increased consumption of the services and the subsequent reduction in maternal and infant morbidity and mortality rates. Most of these phenomena is reported in developing countries most of which are located in Sub-Saharan Africa. In Kenya, only 47% of mothers receive the recommended (WHO) services during pregnancy and delivery. This has been associated with high maternal and infant morbidity and mortality rates.

Abstract:
The Kenyan Government has committed huge financial resources to youth development projects through the Uwezo fund. Despite establishment of Uwezo fund, Kenyan youths are not utilizing the funds as projected by the government. A report by District Youth Officer in Thika indicates that twenty eight youth groups have taken up Uwezo fund amounting to Kshs 1,560,000 as at 31st December 2016. The total amount repaid as at 30th June 2017 was Kshs 631,890, translating to 40.71 % repayment rate. Only 18.5% of the youth groups have fully settled their loan, 81.5% of the youth groups have not yet fully settled their loan with 40.7% of the youth groups failing to pay any amount on the loan. High default rate and low repayment rate indicates that Youth projects are not running well in Thika.

Abstract:
Brick which is a by-product of clay soils can be found in the historical architecture of any civilization due to its affordability, accessibility, recyclability and social cultural connections especially in the hot-dry climates of the world. Its popularity as a construction material is still evident today with over a third of the global population currently living in earthen structures. Yet low cost housing provision, especially in developing countries is plagued by the ever increasing cost of building systems (technology, materials, transport, labour, etc.) and high demand for affordable housing for the low-income group.

Abstract:
This paper critically examined the relationship between FDI, non-oil exports and economic growth in Nigeria using granger causality approach. The study utilized data from CBN Statistical Bulletin and UNCTAD investment report from 1980-2016. Consequently, various diagnostic tests such as unit roots, co-integration and Pairwise Granger Causality Tests were estimated. The results of the finding show that unidirectional causality runs from FDI to economic growth as well as non-oil exports. Hence, the study concludes that FDI has potential to propel the expansion of non-oil exports in particular and economic growth in general in Nigeria. Therefore, it is recommended in this paper that all hands must be on deck by the policy makers to create friendly economic policies and business environment that will boost further attraction of FDI into non-oil sector of the Nigerian economy.

Abstract:
The author had proposed a model for soul (Jeev Atma in Hindu mythology) in his book1 ( Nature and manifestation of soul). It was mentioned that the size of soul is very precise and cannot be seen by any instrument so far known in the field of science. It was further mentioned that the soul is not made of elements like hydrogen carbon sodium etc. Everything we see around us including our own body may be made of these elements. It was written at that stage that it is entirely different substance, more precise than normal elements.

Abstract:
Vote buying is a trending phenomenon in our present days politics. This problem is flourishing by the day. In 2011 elections, there were trivial cases of vote buying. It is believed that moneybag politicians introduced vote buying after the introduction of electronic voting system in 2015, which barricaded their former gimmicks of rigging and ballots box snatching. The election that brought president Mohammendu Buhari was allegedly characterized by vote buying. Desperate political actors who want to win by all cost, having seen that good party manifestoes and integrity of candidates jostling for public offices are not longer enough to assure electoral victory.
