Examining the role of public administration in promoting sustainable entrepreneurship development in Nigeria 1999–2018

Background: Nigeria has been described as among the leading economies in Africa, yet it has experienced cycles of economic boom and recession. Commercial capitalism has left the industrial sectors relatively underdeveloped. As is the practice elsewhere, sustainable entrepreneurship development is the foundation of industrial development. However, in Nigeria, this imperative need is faced with numerous challenges.Aim: Within the framework of development theory, this article examines the role of public administration in promoting sustainable entrepreneurship development in Nigeria, as well as challenges confronting public administrator’s role in this regard.Setting: This study was carried out using the qualitative desktop method in deriving data for answering the question. About 45 literature sources were consulted and analysed in order to explore the interface between public administration and sustainable entrepreneurship development in Nigeria.Methods: This article adopts a qualitative approach and is descriptive in nature, with the researcher setting out to illustrate the association that exists between the dependent and independent variables.Results: This article argues that the undeveloped state of the industrial sectors in Nigeria can be attributed to poor entrepreneurship development that could have served as the basis for rapid industrialisation in the country and the attendant effect of making the country one of the developed countries of the world. The poor state of entrepreneurship development in the country is traceable to factors such as irrelevant policy options and directions, poor funding of entrepreneurship development programmes, an ineffective education system, lack of reliable power supply, and the rentier nature of the economy.Conclusion: It concludes that public administration in Nigeria should ensure policy consistency in terms of continuity and stability, the development of an indigenous sustainable development paradigm, the prevention and punishment of corruption, improved funding of entrepreneurship development programmes and the provision of reliable electricity.
Sensitivity, Stability, and Spring Constants of Paper Based Weighing Balances

Paper based printable and flexible sensors present an exciting new avenue for providing low-cost, disposable, and portable solution for a number of emerging application areas [16]. In this study, we utilized off-the-shelf components and lowcost paper substrates to develop a cantilever based weighing balance. We used three different types of paper substrates (Watercolour, Bristol, and Chromatography) to fabricate meander shaped four-arm cantilever structure using a laser cutting system. We experimentally evaluated sensitivity (linear dynamic range), stability, and spring constants of each type of paper. Our results demonstrate the suitability of both Watercolour and Bristol papers for deflection type sensors (typically force and mass) providing good sensitivity, stability (repeatability) and mechanical performance (high spring constant).
The Impact of Using Think Pair Share Technique on the Students’ Speaking Skill

This study aims to find out whether the use of Think Pair Share technique can improve students’ speaking skill. This research was conducted at the second grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Simpang Ulim, Aceh Timur, Indonesia. The method of this study was quantitative research (experimental study) with one group pre-test and post test design. The sample of this research was one class at XI MIPA 1 which consists of 20 students. The researcher used an oral test about giving opinion (analytical exposition text) as an instrument in collecting the data. In analyzing the data, the researcher used statistical formula. The calculation result showed that the mean score of students pre-test was 33.75 and the mean score of post-test was 55. Furthermore, the t-score was 8.23 and t-table was 2.093. Thus, the t-score was higher than t-table. It means that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. In this case, applying Think Pair Share technique in learning English Foreign Language had a positive impact for the students to improve speaking skill.
Achieving Lightweight Verifiable Privacy Preserving Search Over Encrypted Data

When cloud clients outsource their database to the cloud, they entrust management operations to a cloud service provider who is expected to answer the clientâ€™s queries on the cloud where database is located. Efficient techniques can ensure critical requirements for outsourced dataâ€™s integrity and authenticity. A lightweight privacy preserving verifiable scheme for outsourcingdatabase securely is proposed, our scheme encrypts data before outsourcing and returned query results are verified with parameters of correctness and completeness. Our scheme is projected on lightweight homomorphic encryption technique and bloom filter which are efficiently authenticated to guarantee the outsourced databaseâ€™s integrity, authenticity, and confidentiality. An ordering challenge technique is proposed for verifying top-k query results. We conclude by detailing our analysis of security proofs, privacy, verifiability and the performance efficiency of our scheme. Our proposed schemeâ€™s proof and evaluation analysis show its security and efficiency for practical deployment. We also evaluate our schemeâ€™s performances over two UCI data sets.
Product Recommendation Through Real-Time Object Recognition on Image Classifiers

With the development of e-commerce in the past years and its growing overlap over the classic way of doing business, many computational and statistical methods were researched and developed to make recommendations for products belonging to the store catalog. Often the data used in recommendation methods involves user interactions, being images and video types of information somewhat unexplored. This work, which we call Xanathar, proposes to extend such paradigm with real-time in-video recommendations for 25 classes of products, using image classifiers and feeding video streams to a modified ResNet-50 network processed on GPU, achieving a top-5 error of 5.17% and running at approximately 60 frames per second. Therefore, describing objects in the scene and proposing related products in-screen, directing user buying experience and creating an immersive and intensive purchase environment.

A new perspective on Gaussian sigma-point Kalman filters

There are a variety of Gaussian sigma-point Kalman filters (GSPKF) existing in the literature which are based on different quadrature rules. Their performances are always compared with each other on accuracy and robustness from the numerical-integration perspective, where the number of the sigma points and their corresponding weights are the main reasons resulting in the different accuracy. A new perspective on the GSPKF is proposed in this paper, which is the Mahalanobis distance ellipsoid (MDE). From the MDE perspective, GSPKFs differ from each other on accuracy and robustness mainly because they enclose different probability concentrations. This characteristic is evident when using the high-degree GSPKFs to filter the low-dimensional nonlinear systems. Two classical nonlinear system examples are used to demonstrate the proposed point of this paper. Moreover, some suggestions are given on how to select an appropriate GSPKF for a given nonlinear system.
Designing Dynamic Decision Support for Electronic Requirements Negotiations

To keep an overview of the various requirements in large software development projects is a great challenge, even if requirements management systems are employed. It gets even more challenging, if negotiations must be conducted, to determine, which requirements are actually implemented and how. Requirements negotiation is an “iterative process of communication and decision making between [stakeholders] who have the overall goal of agreeing on a software development process and outcome” (Lenz et al. 2015, p. 304).
Thermal HDR: Applying High Dynamic Range Rendering for Fusion of Thermal Augmentations with Visible Light

In safety applications for fields such as navigation or industrial manufacturing, thermal augmentations have often been used to help users safely navigate low-light environments and detect obstacles. However, one problem with thermal imaging is that it often occludes the environment and coloration that would otherwise be useful, for example traffic sign text or warning labels on industrial equipment. In this paper, we explore a new algorithm that takes advantage of high dynamic range (HDR) rendering techniques in order to more effectively present thermal information. Unlike previous fusion algorithms or conventional blending techniques, our setup makes use of both a thermal camera and HDR frames to synthesize a final overlay. Moreover, we set up a series of two experiments with a simulated heads up display (HUD) to 1) measure reaction times to the sudden appearance of pedestrians, and 2) conduct circuit repair. Results showed that the HDR algorithm was subjectively preferred to other approaches, and that performance on average could match other conventional algorithms on most occasions.

Flow of Control Using If Statements

In this chapter we are going to look at the if statement in Python. This statement is used to control the flow of execution within a program based on some condition. These conditions represent some choice point that will be evaluated to True or False. To perform this evaluation it is common to use a comparison operator (for example to check to see if the temperature is greater than some threshold). In many cases these comparisons need to take into account several values and in these situations logical operators can be used to combine two or more comparison expressions together.

PENELUSURAN PEMINATAN JURUSAN DI PERGURUAN TINGGI PADA SMA NEGERI 7 MEDAN

At present there are many students who are less interested in continuing to a higher level while these students have high achievements. According to the Minister of Education (2011), number of children aged 19-23 years who continue to PT (college) is only 23%, the remaining 77% do not have the opportunity to enter college, they always consider the factors behind them. For example, such as learning achievement factors and motivational factors as well as interest in learning within the students themselves. This is because the students themselves assume that continuing their studies to a higher level does not guarantee a better future. There is also a high interest to continue to a higher level, but these students have less achievements, the cause of students in learning is very lacking. To achieve the above purpose, UNPRI FE lecturers held a mentoring program and traced the learning interest of class XII students regarding the importance of continuing their education to higher education. The results of the socialization found that 80% of the total class XII students of SMAN 7 Medan had a high interest in continuing their education to higher education. The interest is also equipped with sufficient knowledge about what majors to pursue in college Keywords : Majors, Students of Senior High School, University
Developing technical innovativeness of primary school students using a glider model

The basis of the master's thesis relates to contribution towards developing technical innovation of pupils at primary level through methods of inductive teaching with an example of a model glider. The recently suggested teaching model for developing pupils' technical innovation was put into practice. We made two lesson plans, one for the control group and the other for the experimental group, in accordance with the teaching model on the topic of creating a product – a model glider in the second grade during a lesson of compulsory subject in primary school called nature study. The control group was taught according to a traditional strategy, whereas the experimental one was taught in accordance with a teaching model where active forms of strategies were more common, especially the strategy of inquiry-based learning. While creating a product in the class with different approaches of teaching, we were observing in which case the pupils displayed a higher degree of technical innovation. The empirical experiment included four sections of the second grade at a primary school. The results of the research show that the knowledge of pupils from control group, who were taught traditionally, has improved better on a test. However, pupils from experimental group, where inquiry-based learning was performed, have reached a higher degree of innovation. Pupils from experimental group have reached a higher degree of innovation because the work during the lessons was less guided and directed. They could broaden their thinking and reach a higher degree of independent work. It is also evident that the methods of inductive teaching do not only develop a higher degree of technical innovation, but also a higher degree of critical thinking. In the master’s thesis, we determined the required technical basis of the gliders’ models for pupils in the second grade. We also determined the appropriate network model of a glider and a model of a model glider. The suggested teaching model for developing technical innovation has shown differences between genders. Boys were more successful. Pupils are used to perceive traditional teaching better than the new ways of performing a lesson in the experimental group which demands a higher degree of independent work.
Java Web Services: A Performance Analysis

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is being increasingly used by developers both in web applications and in mobile applications. Within web services there are two main implementations: SOAP communication protocol and REST. This work presents a comparative study of performance between these two types of web services, SOAP versus REST, as well as analyses factors that may affect the efficiency of applications that are based on this architecture. In this experimental evaluation we used an application deployed in a Wildfly server and then used the JMeter test tool to launch requests in different numbers of threads and calls. Contrary to the more general idea that REST web services are significantly faster than SOAP, our results show that REST web services are 1% faster than SOAP. As this programming paradigm is increasingly used in a growing number of client and server applications, we conclude that the REST implementation is more efficient for systems which have to respond to less calls but have more requests in a connection.

CONFERENCING APPROACH DALAM MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN MENULIS SISWA SEKOLAH DASAR : SEBUAH PERSPEKTIF

Writing is an activity of someone in conveying an idea or idea to someone else in writing. A person's writing ability can be obtained by learning these skills on an ongoing basis. The assumption about the difficulty of mastering writing skills is certainly not entirely true. Experience so far has indeed proven that students' ability to write is still very low. This can be seen from the value and results of student writing. If students are not lazy in participating in writing learning and the teacher teaches well, certainly the difficult thing can turn out to be an easy thing. This happens because writing skills are not obtained naturally, but must go through the process of learning and practicing seriously. Therefore, through this paper the author attempts to reconstruct a variety of theories related to writing and conferencing approaches as a solutive view of an approach to writing learning in elementary schools.
Student Absence Following Classical Learning Activities and Roles of Information Services

Many problems the absence of students is one of the things that causes the learning process is not optimal and this becomes an important role of guidance and counseling services through information services. The purpose of this study was to reveal the forms of student absence and the quality of the implementation of information services about absenteeism. This type of research is quantitative descriptive research, the sample used was 123 students using porous sampling technique. Data collected using questionnaire absenteeism and the scale of the implementation of information services about student absence (33 items valid, α = 0.851). Data analysis using percentage analysis and also t-test. The results showed that the most absent form of the students did was not entering school without permission 35 (28.4%) times and the least was days not going to school ie 2 (1.6%) times. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the implementation of information services about student absenteeism both conducted by state high school and private high school teachers with a good category of 71.67%.

Copyright Misuse under American and Iranian Law

Copyright misuse is an issue the ignorance of which and the absence of a law capable to deal with it can result in the vast misuses in the field of intellectual property in the future. The laws and regulations relating to intellectual property have not been paid attention appropriately in Iran. As an example, a reference can be made to the absence of any law as regards copyright misuse. Copyright misuse here means claiming copyright with respect to works that have entered the public domain. This article deals with the concept of copyright misuse, its examples, disadvantages of such a misuse, the ways for countering this phenomenon including imposing civil and criminal liability on  and prosecuting the misuser by private and public individuals and additionally administrative measures to combat it. Consequently, the article concludes that the existing laws are not sufficient for addressing the problems resulting from such a phenomenon and the enactment of a new and comprehensive law in this respect or amendment of the existing laws being able to answer the problems raised from copyright misuse is necessary.
