This study investigated organization of words in the mental lexicon of grade 4 students. For this purpose, one hundred students of grade 4 were selected from the sample schools. This study employed a non-probability convenience sampling technique. The word association test was used to collect the data, which involved selecting 40 words from grade 4 English textbooks taught at three different private sector schools under three respective education systems. This study employed quantitative method to collect the responses of sample students in word association test. The data was analyzed by using Fitzpatrick’s (2007) model of classification of association response. The results showed that position-based association, which accounted for 56.95% of the total collected data dominated the distribution of the data; 17.95% of connections were meaning-based; whereas collocation associations were prevalent in position-based association test. The findings of the word association test showed that the participants’ mental lexicon was impacted by their comprehension and use of the target term. The research concluded that in the participants’ mental lexicon, position-based association was the strongest lexical network. The findings implied that teaching vocabulary and its meanings was insufficient for expanding English language learners’ mental lexicon.

Authors: Ibrahim Adamu , Umar Abubakar M. , Burak Leatu Nathaniel
Published: December 2023

The effect of temperature variation on the behaviour and growth performance of Clarias gariepinus was studied. Temperature has both direct and indirect influence on fisheries and aquaculture. This study was set to evaluate how changes in temperature of the aquatic environment influence the behaviour and growth of Clarias gariepinus as one of the best aquaculture candidates especially in central and western Africa. The fish were subjected to different temperature conditions over a period of eight (8) weeks. Changes in fish behaviour were determined by careful observation of feeding behaviour as well as swimming patterns. Changes in the growth of fish were determined by measuring the weight of the fish and the standard length of the fish accordingly. The outcome of the current study reveals that temperature significantly affects the behaviour and growth performance of Clarias gariepinus. The effect is more significant in the weight than the length of the fish. Temperature values between 20-27 ℃ are more suitable for proper growth and well-being of Clarias gariepinus, any further increase in temperature above 27 ℃ causes a decline in the growth that fish species.

Abstract-Cellular networks rely heavily on downlink beamforming; however, calculating beamformers that maximize the weighted sum rate (WSR) under power constraints is an NP-hard problem. A weighted minimum mean square error (WMMSE) algorithm variant is suggested for a MU-MISO downlink channel in order to address this trade-off between complexity and performance. This variation avoids bisection searches, eigendata compositions, and matrix inversions—all of which are challenging to implement as conventional network layers. With a reduced complexity, the suggested network architecture outperforms the WMMSE algorithm truncated to the same number of iterations and adapts well to variations in the channel distribution. Many use cases for vehicles that demand high capacity, extremely low latency, and high reliability can be made possible by 5G. To facilitate this, 5G For a MU-MISO downlink channel, a variation of the weighted minimum mean square error (WMMSE) algorithm is proposed to address this trade-off between complexity and performance. This variation avoids complex network layer implementations such as matrix inversions, eigendata compositions, and bisection searches. The suggested network architecture generalizes well to changes in the channel distribution and performs comparably to the WMMSE algorithm truncated to the same number of iterations, but at a lower complexity. Numerous automotive use cases requiring high capacity, extremely low latency, and high reliability can be made possible by 5G. 5G suggests using highly directed mm Wave system deployment and dense small cell technology to support this.

The Role of Mangroves In Mitigation of Ecosystem Degradation Threats In Gunung Anyar city of Surabaya
Authors: Ni Dewi Ambal Ikka
Published: December 2023

The coast of Surabaya City is dominated by mangrove forest ecosystems. The mangrove forest experiences a lot of shrinkage every year. The shrinkage that occurs in mangrove forests is not only caused by natural factors (abrasion and wind) but also due to logging activities by local communities. The degradation that occurs in mangrove forests is largely influenced by waves and tides. The existence of mangrove forests is thought to be very important for reducing the threat of degradation and can play a role in mitigating damage to existing ecosystems. The function of mangrove forests in mitigating the threat of degradation has encouraged a deeper study of mangrove forests which are thought to have a physical function as a barrier to ecosystem damage. The method used is a survey method with sampling using a transect line technique. The data collection technique in the field uses a transect line technique whose placement has been designed. The research results showed that three types were found, namely Avicennia marina, Rhizophora Apiculata, Ceriops candra. The tree level is calculated by the cover and density values (trees/ha) to determine the standard criteria for determining mangrove forest damage. The cover level is very high with a final value of 99.61%. The results of the calculation of the density value (trees/ha) are above>150. amounting to 14,866.67, this shows that the density of trees in the Gunung Anyar mangrove forest is very high. Based on data from analysis of the Gunung Anyar mangrove forest, in general it has the ability to minimize degradation.

Published: December 2023

Lagos State is a city with one of the largest concentration of people in the world with heterogenous behaviour and cultural beliefs. There are different prognostic models in the medical sciences, yet their real life application, especially to childhood mortality is limited. There are variations in childhood mortality rate across different communities in Lagos State. Childhood mortality is a subject of interest to World Health Organization (WHO) and one of the major Millennium Development Goals. In 2014, the Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Public Health, Dr. Yewande Adeshina said that under-5 and infant mortality rates in Lagos state have reduced due to various health interventions being implemented in the State. However, the truth of the matter is that childhood mortality is still high and this is an indication that we still have lots of work to do in this regard. In this paper, prognostic models were used in modelling factors that predict the differences in childhood mortality in Lagos communities. Six models, two each from logistic regression, linear regression and Poisson regression models were used. Primary data were collected from mothers that fall in the age bracket (15-49), who reside in any of the 5 divisions of Lagos State, namely Ikorodu, Badagry, Lagos Mainland/Ikeja, Lagos Island and Epe. Five variables were identified as covariates. The prognostic multi-variable models were employed. The binary logistic regression model with 5 covariates was selected as the best model for the binary response variable, while the Poisson regression model with 4 covariates was selected as the best model for the count response variable. At the end of the research, Ikorodu, Badagry and Epe communities have higher than expected childhood mortality rates. Also, we estimated childhood mortality rate in Lagos State and measured the variations in childhood mortality across Lagos communities. The factors that predict these variations were detected and control measures were recommended to reduce the difference in childhood mortality rate in Lagos State.

This study examines customer attitudes towards blockchain technology (BCT)-supported banking applications in Oman and explores the relationship between these attitudes and behavioral intentions, highlighting the influencing factors. Blockchain Technology (BCT) has disrupted the banking sector, but understanding customer attitudes towards BCT-supported banking applications and their impact on behavior remains limited. In pursuit of this objective, a quantitative research design was employed, involving the collection of data from retail bank customers in Oman through a structured questionnaire. The collected data underwent rigorous analysis using a robust Structural Equation Model, confirming the constructs' validity, reliability, and distinctiveness. The study uncovered that BCT has a positive impact on various aspects of the banking sector, including customer service quality, regulatory compliance, secured transactions, and cost reduction. By augmenting transparency, efficiency, and trust in banking transactions, BCT significantly improves customer attitudes towards BCT-supported banks. Furthermore, the research reveals that positive attitudes play a pivotal role in influencing customers' intentions to prefer and continue using these blockchain-backed banks. The study also highlights the importance of trust factors and transaction frequency as moderators in shaping customer attitudes and behavioral intentions in this context. The insights gleaned from this research hold practical significance for banks operating in Oman, offering guidance for tailored marketing campaigns, product design, and aligning their offerings with customer expectations in the realm of blockchain-supported banking applications. Additionally, the study provides practical recommendations for the successful implementation and adoption of blockchain-supported financial applications within the banking sector.

Control of dental and oral health problems is to use toothpaste properly and regularly. The higher the concentration of the binder (sodium CMC), the more compact the toothpaste preparation will be and the release of the active substance is less than optimal, besides that it will be difficult to apply at the time of use. On the other hand, the concentration of the binder is too low, causing the preparation to be easily crushed and disintegrate like a lotion. Variations in the concentration of different binders were made to see the physical form among the three formulations of toothpaste which had the best consistency and met the requirements. The purpose of this study was to identify the chemical content of white ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc) rhizome, to formulate white ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc) powder toothpaste with various concentrations of binders and to evaluate the preparation of white ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc) powdered toothpaste. This research was conducted using laboratory experimental methods. The result of this research is that white ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc) rhizome powder contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins and triterpenoids. White ginger rhizome powder (Zingiber officinale Rosc) can be formulated into toothpaste preparations.
