Effect of Opportunity Recognition Competence on Youth Empowerment in Selected States in Northeast Nigeria

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of opportunity recognition competence on youth empowerment in Bauchi, Gombe and Yobe states in Northeast, Nigeria. Some researches have reported that many youths in Northeast, Nigeria do not engage in entrepreneurship practice and are at the fore front of those carrying out most of the deadly attacks and committing social vices that have rocked the Northeast zone for many years. The population consisted of 1,694 indigenous youth from Bauchi, Gombe and Yobe states who participated in training at the skill upgrading and vocational training center from 2017-2021. A sample size of 322 was determined using Krejcie and Morgan (1970) sample size determination table. Given the heterogeneity of the population for each state, Bowley’s sample allocation formula was applied for the determination of proportionate sample size for each state while stratified and simple random sampling techniques were adopted for selecting the study participants. The quantitative data were collected through standardized questionnaire adapted from previous related studies and analysed through descriptive statistics and path analysis. All measurement items on the adapted questionnaire were carefully reworded then subjected to the criticisms of experts in the field for content and face validity. The construct reliability and internal consistency of the instrument was determined through Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Out of 322 copies of questionnaire administered, 305 representing 94.72 percent were returned. However, out of this number, only 289 copies of questionnaire representing 89.75% were correctly filled and thus suitable for data analysis. The results showed that opportunity recognition skill had a significant effect on youth empowerment (β=-0.307, P&gt;.001) in selected states in the Northeast, Nigeria. The paper recommends that Northeast state governments of Bauchi, Gombe and Yobe and community leaders should engage in vigorous media literacy to mobilize greater youth participation in skill acquisition programmes and also establish well-funded vocational training centers along with industrial parks in each state. Successful indigenous entrepreneurs should be encouraged with tax holidays in exchange for providing apprenticeship training to interested indigenous youths over a stipulated time frame. Keywords: Opportunity recognition, Skill acquisition, Youth empowerment, Northeast Nigeria

Pandemic Induced E-Learning and the Impact on the Stakeholders: Mediating Role of Satisfaction and Moderating Role of Choice

This study tries to assess the impact of e-learning on the stakeholders, especially teachers and students, and the differences. COVID-19, the current pandemic, is taken as the context. A structural equation modeling approach is undertaken, and PLS-SEM (partial least squares) (multi-group) method is chosen. Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use are the independent constructs, with Behavioral Intention to Use being the dependent construct. Satisfaction is taken as a mediator, and Choice is used as a moderator. One hundred ninety-seven teachers and two hundred seventy-nine students comprise the sample. Results show that teachers’ perceived usefulness has a significant and positive impact on their satisfaction. For both teachers and students, perceived ease of use has a significant and positive impact on behavioral intention. Satisfaction is a successful mediator for teachers but not for the students. Choice has proved to be a good moderator for the relationship between perceived ease of use and behavioral intention to use. The study is unique as a new moderator (choice) is introduced to the modified model, and in-depth analysis is conducted to assess the relationships and the differences between the two groups. Further, it is a multi-national study enhancing its universal implications. Keywords: e-learning, pandemic, SEM, PLS, teachers, students, satisfaction, choice
NORMALIZATION ANALYSIS OF BUARAN RIVER USING THE HEC-RAS APPLICATION (THE BUKIT KENCANA RESIDENTIAL AREA TO JAKARTA CIKAMPEK TOLL)

The channel in the Buaran River area has a channel length of 5.32 km located in the Bukit Kencana Housing Area as the upstream of the Buaran River with the smallest cross-sectional width of 0.9 m and a height of 1 m and the border of the Jakarta Cikampek Toll Road as a downstream with a width of 2.2 m and a height of 3.6 m. one of the areas of the Buaran River which experienced quite severe flooding. This was due to changes or conversion of land functions which were originally water catchment areas to settlements. The large number of buildings that stand on the body of the river makes the current section of the Buaran River unable to function optimally in accommodating flood discharges, besides that there is no public awareness in protecting the environment which can be seen from the many piles of garbage in the body of the river. The purpose of this research is to find out how big the capacity of the existing Buaran cross-section is (starting from the Bukit Kencana Residential Area to the Jakarta Cikampek Toll Road) by modeling the existing cross-section using the help of the Hec-Rass application as well as recording and mapping locations that have the potential to flood. . One of the efforts that have been made by the government in controlling floods is by normalizing the river but in practice, the normalization of the Buaran River cannot be said to be running optimally. Based on hydrological calculations, the planned Q25 flood discharge is 16,307 m3/s. By using the help of the Hec-Ras application we can find out which river profiles need to be treated so that the handling of river normalization as an alternative to flood control can run optimally
An Interactive Decision Support System for College Degree Planning

Many students in the Unites States enter college without having decided on a focus for their studies, and thus are faced with choosing from a large number of potential majors and associated very complex sets of degree requirements which can include many courses in other areas of study. Academic advisors use academic planning tools to help students make decisions about class schedules, selecting an academic major or minor, planning for graduation, and many other academic related activities. There is a dearth of decision support systems for degree planning, mainly due to the complexity of degree requirements, and thus many existing academic planning tools utilize static documents or PDF files for displaying information pertaining to degree requirements and course prerequisites. This work considers the complexity of degree requirements and presents the design and implementation of an efficient interactive decision support system that helps students explore degree completion paths. Keywords: degree planning, academic advising, academic decision making, decision support system, college degree planning
Actual tasks of librarianship development In the structure of modern Russian science

TThe article raises the issues of scientific support for the development of librarianship in the conditions of digitalization. It presents the analysis of the scientific agenda of library and information sciences, laid down in the “Strategy for the development of librarianship in the Russian Federation until 2030”. The possibilities of solving problems relevant to the industry within the framework of the new nomenclature and passport of the scientific specialty “Library Science, Bibliography and Book Studies” are critically evaluated. It is proposed to consider the nomenclature of scientific specialties as a system integrity, within which the search for areas of interdisciplinary interaction and migration to other scientific specialties is carried out at the level of the subject of research. The scientific specialties that have theoretical and organizational potential for research and development of issues of digital development of librarianship have been identified. The ways of harmonization of library and information sciences with the new positions of the specialty 5.10.4 and a new field of science – cultural studies have been defined, the task of determining the direction of scientific research has been set. The possibilities of studying library and information issues in line with the research of the actual problems of digitalization of culture as one of the branches in which library construction is actively conducted have been analyzed, their connection with the priorities of scientific and technological development has been determined. The definition of digitalization of culture is given as a set of new IT solutions, new design of the cultural information space, new relationships in the professional and social environment, new economic models, new cultural codes. Among the promising areas of research that are important for the development of librarianship in the modern conditions there have been defined: digitalization of cultural heritage preservation (scientific tasks that make up the “technical” and “humanitarian” streams are highlighted); digital resources of culture and art and electronic libraries (a single digital space of culture as a theoretical concept and strategic guideline); digitalization of creative industries and digitalization of everyday cultural practices; digital reading infrastructure; human problems in digital culture; digital formats of “documenting culture”; digitalization of culture in the context of intellectual property; digital humanities.

Laicità

SOMMARIO: 1. Premessa: la laicità giuridica - 2. L’enunciazione - 3. La definizione - 4. La riscrittura.&#x0D; Abstract: In his brilliant work on «La laicità penale alla sfida del "secolo delle paure"» Carlo Enrico Paliero highlighted the distance between positive legal systems and a supposed (ideal-typical) archetype of 'laicità', of which the single legal system represents a "mestizo" model. The iconic image restores the complexity of any definitional challenge on 'laicità'. Law, unfolding as a practical science, has gradually managed to circumvent the obstacle through a process of empirical signification, derived, at times, from concrete needs. Therefore, it would be improper, if not arbitrary, to attempt to offer a contribution on legal 'laicità' in disregard of the events that have characterized its absence from the text of the Charter and the demands of ordinal self-protection that have determined, instead, the subsequent 'unveiling' or 'creation' of the unexpressed principle.
A Systematic Literature Survey on Recommendation System

Abstract: For many applications, particularly in the academic environment and industry, the Recommendation System for Technical Paper Reviewers is very important. This study examines the research trends connecting the highly technical components of recommendation systems employed in various service fields to their commercial aspects. It is a technique that enables the user to identify the information that will be useful to him or her from the variety of facts accessible. In terms of the movie recommendation system, recommendations are made either based on user similarities in collaborative filtering or by considering the user's intended engagement with the content into account content-based filtering. A stronger recommendation system is produced by combining content-based and collaborative filtering, which overcomes the issues that collaborative and content-based filtering typically have. The similarity between users is also determined using a variety of similarity measures in order to make recommendations. We have reviewed cutting-edge approaches to collaborative filtering, content-based filtering, deep learning-based methods, and hybrid approaches in this study for movie recommendation. Additionally, we looked at other similarity measures. Numerous businesses, including Facebook, which suggests friends, LinkedIn, which suggests jobs, Pandora, which suggests music, Netflix, which suggests movies, and Amazon, which suggests purchases, among others, employ recommendation systems to boost their profits and help their clients. This essay primarily focuses on providing a succinct overview of the many approaches and techniques used for movie recommendation in order to investigate the field of recommendation systems research.

TextStyleBrush: Transfer of Text Aesthetics from a Single Example

We present a novel approach for disentangling the content of a text image from all aspects of its appearance. The appearance representation we derive can then be applied to new content, for one-shot transfer of the source style to new content. We learn this disentanglement in a self-supervised manner. Our method processes entire word boxes, without requiring segmentation of text from background, per-character processing, or making assumptions on string lengths. We show results in different text domains which were previously handled by specialized methods, e.g., scene text, handwritten text. To these ends, we make a number of technical contributions: (1) We disentangle the style and content of a textual image into a non-parametric, fixed-dimensional vector. (2) We propose a novel approach inspired by StyleGAN but conditioned over the example style at different resolution and content. (3) We present novel self-supervised training criteria which preserve both source style and target content using a pre-trained font classifier and text recognizer. Finally, (4) we also introduce Imgur5K, a new challenging dataset for handwritten word images. We offer numerous qualitative photo-realistic results of our method. We further show that our method surpasses previous work in quantitative tests on scene text and handwriting datasets, as well as in a user study.
A Letter to My Friend Youngsoo (Tcheonzamun 017th-032nd)

French missionary Dallet (1874).wrote in his book the next thing. Tcheonzamun (in Korean language), the thousand character essay (in English), was utilized in old China such as Tchi’n (秦) and Han (漢) countries as the textbook for teaching Chinese character for their children. Here, the present researcher translated this poem through the meaning of Chinese character. The range of the poem is (Tcheonzamun 017th-032nd). And the title of this manuscript is ‘A letter to my friend Youngsoo’. &lt;Number in Tcheonzamun Chinese characters (the pronunciation on Korean language and written in English alphabet)&gt; 017-020 寒(Han) 來(Lae) 暑(Seo) 往(Wang) In order for the warm season (暑) to come (往), the cold season (寒) must pass (來). However, am I going to wait such a long time? 021-024 秋(Tchu) 收(Su) 冬(Dong) 藏(Zang) Before the cold came, you must harvest the food plant (收) at this autumn(秋). Then your family member will be able to pass well this winter (冬) on eating the harvested food plant (藏). 025-028 閏(Yun) 餘(Yeo) 成(Seong) 歲(Se) Such the long time (餘) from now to the next summer, we must wait. But in order for us to pass the time without difficulty or tiredness (閏), we have to do (成) the harvest in the autumn period (歲). And then, my family can pass the cold winter on eating the harvested food not with hunger but with joyfulness. 029-032 律(Yul) 呂(Yeo) 調(Zo) 陽(Yang) In order for us to live joyfully and happily (律) with the nature’s rhythm (呂), we have to spare and to favor (調) the sunlight (陽). Yes, we must use the time wisely.
My husband, I cannot understand your saying! (Tcheonzamun 065th - 080th)

Dallet (1874) wrote in his book that ‘the thousand character essay’ was used as a textbook for ancient Chinese children in the period of Tch’in (秦) dynasty. The thousand character essay is called in Korea as Tcheonzamun (千字文). It is firmly believed that Tcheonzamun was written by Chinese people (Han, 1583). But Park et al., (2021b) translated the Tcheonzamun poem through Korean pronunciation of Chinese character. Therefore, it is assumed that Tcheonzamun was written by ancient Korean. ‘The thousand character essay’ is composed of one thousand Chinese character (Han, 1583). It is called as ‘Tcheonzamun’ in Korea. There are three methods for the translation of Tcheonzamun poem. The first method is through the meaning of Chinese character in Tcheonzamun (Park et al., 2021a). The second method is through Korean pronunciation of Chinese character (Park et al., 2021b). The additional method is by deleting same part of Chinese character. With the (those) remained part(s), the translation will be done. The range of Tcheonzamun poem is (Tcheonzamun 065th -080th). And the text of this study is somewhat old book of Tcheonzamun (Han, 1583). ‘The thousand character essay’ is called as Tcheonzamun in Korea (Han, 1583). This is the work of Tcheonzamun translation through the meaning of Chinese character and through Korean pronunciation of Chinese character. The range of the study is (Tcheonzamun 065th -080th). And the title of this study is ‘My husband, I can not understand your saying! (Tcheonzamun 065th -080th)’. As a conclusion, there are similar translation between the first method (through the meaning of Chinese character) and the second method (through Korean pronunciation of Chinese character in Tcheonzamun).
A Comparison Between MFCC and MSE Features for Text-Independent Speaker Recognition Using Machine Learning Algorithms

Speaker identification is the process through which a person can be identified by using the physical characteristics of his voice. In recent years, this identification is done by using artificial intelligence algorithms along to feature extract methods from the speech signal such as the MFCCs (Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients). Text-independent speaker recognition consists of identifying a person by training and testing of the model with voice signals where one speaker will say different phrases. In the present research two types of audio features were extracted, on one hand the MFCC and on the other hand the MSE (Multiband Spectral Entropy). For the classification stage we use machine learning algorithms, such as k Nearest Neighbors, Random Forest, Deep Neural Networks, and Decision Trees. Two important databases of the literature were used in our experiments, LibriSpeech and ELSDSR. Four different experiments were defined: speaker identification in a group of 20 participants, speaker identification between men, speaker identification between women, and speaker identification by gender. Significant results were obtained when using the ELSDSR database, obtaining 93.99% precision in the experiment for speaker recognition by gender.
