Authors: - Ssebuliba Isaac
Published: June 2024

Increased accidents on Ugandan roads compelled the construction of road ancillaries, with a major aim of improving road safety, to attain sustainable economic development and further achieve SDG target 3.6 and SDG target 9.1. This study investigated the impact of ancillary roadworks on road safety in Uganda, a case of the Kampala – Jinja road. The study used a correlation research design with a quantitative approach. Primary data were collected from 30 field traffic officers, 19 drivers, 03 OC traffic police stations, 36 road engineers, 01 IOV, 01 RTO, and 12 market leaders whereas secondary data were extracted from accident data from Uganda Police. Questionnaire data were analysed with SPSS version 24.0. Results indicated that 39% of installed informatory signs, 47% of installed regulatory signs, and 60% of installed warning signs had been vandalised, exposing road users to the risk of accidents. Guardrails were still existing but some had rusted and others covered with grown grass, making them not seen by road users. The majority of road accidents were serious, accounting for 149 (46.3%) cases, followed by 130 fatal accidents (40.4%) and 43 (13.3%) minor accidents for the period from 2017 to 2022. Correlation results indicated that all ancillary road works were significant except road signs. Yet, regression results indicated that road marking (βeta = 0.307), guardrails (βeta = 0.286), and humps and rumble strips (βeta = 0.360) have a positive significant effect on road safety unlike road lights, road signs, walkways, and service lanes which were insignificant. Police traffic law enforcement and regular improvement on road infrastructure are required. It is concluded that road marking, guardrails, humps, and rumble strips significantly affect road safety. The study recommended that the construction of humps and rumble strips of moderate size, road marking with higher retro reflectivity (>200 mcd/lx/m2), and strong guardrails, can help in ensuring road safety with the support of enforcement of traffic laws of Uganda.

Brief Overview of Fourteen Major Rock Edicts of King Ashoka
Authors: - Maitreya Yeshwant Ovhal
Published: June 2024

–The fourteen major rock edicts are of great use to study the historiography of Ashokas Empire. These major rock edicts contain engraved information about the nature of his patronage given to Buddhism and his interpretation of Dhamma. These edicts also throw the light upon the Asoka’s administration, international relations, and law and order systems of his empire. The major rock edicts of the Ashoka are like the identity cards of his empire. These major rock edicts are distributed all over Indian subcontinent and can also be found in Afghanistan & Pakistan. Arguably these major rock edicts encapsulate the boundaries of ancient Mauryan Empire and found at those locations which are specifically chosen by King Ashoka for their construction. The location for the construction of these major rock edicts is arguably chosen on the basis of importance of the area, trade & population of that area. Every Major rock edict has a specific message engraved upon it and there is uniformity in the content of these rock edicts with addition of minor separate edicts which are found at Dhauli and Jaugada & there is little deviation which can be observed at Sannati where rock edict number 13 is replaced by a separate rock edict. Ashoka was the first king who has initiated a dialogue with his subjects by means of engraving such edicts on mighty rocks. By studying this paper you can understand why it is important to have brief knowledge about the contents of these major rock edicts of Ashoka while studying about the King Ashoka in particular & about the Mauryan Empire in general. This paper throws light upon the script and locations of these major rock edicts. This paper also argues about the nature of the patronage given to the buddhism by king Ashoka and insists upon forming conclusions about the Ashokas policy of Dhamma solely on the basis of the engraved texts of major rock edicts.

Published: June 2024

Background:
Enhancing strength and sprint performance with reduced injury risk involves plyometric and resistance sprint training. Improved physical fitness is crucial for developing technical skills and motor competence, essential for explosive leg power and functional performance. Tailored training regimens targeting specific movements boost explosive strength. In a 50-meter sprint competition, phases for acceleration and maximum speed are vital, requiring quick spurts. Fast bowlers and batsmen should prioritize upper body acceleration for optimal performance. Acceleration is key in both sprinting and cricket, emphasizing the importance of targeted training to enhance overall athletic ability and minimize injury risk.

Objective: To find out the effects of resisted sprint training among amateur cricket batsmen player

Methodology: The study received Institutional Ethical Approval, and consent was obtained from all 40 participants. They were screened and recruited based on selection criteria, then randomly allocated into Group A (n=20) and Group B (n=20). The exercise program involved 30-minute sessions, three times per week, over six weeks

Result:
The experimental group (Group A) showed significant improvement in lower limb performance (p < 0.0001) with resisted sprint training. However, there was no significant difference observed in the conventional group when comparing between groups (p < 0.7755).
Conclusion: The study concludes that resisted sprint training is effective in improving lower limb performance in amateur cricket batsmen.

The construction industry drives economic growth globally but faces challenges namely outdated practices and inadequate risk management. This research focuses on improving Risk Management in Research and Development (R&D) facilities construction projects, often poorly executed by Project Management Offices (PMOs). Most studies typically address risk identification and assessment, they neglect crucial processes like risk control and monitoring. In pursuit of developing a risk management model for R&D facility construction projects in Johor Industrial Park, Malaysia, conducted a descriptive analysis self-administered questionnaires from professionals in R&D and construction fields with utilizing Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software. Additionally, employed Structural Equation Modelling (illustrated through AMOS graphics) to establish a robust and valid model. The outcome of this research reveals a strong, positive, and significant correlation between PMO requirements of Risk Monitoring and Control Practices, which encompass risk reassessment, risk audits, contingency reserves analysis, risk status meetings and Project Success Factors which related to schedule, cost, facilities requirements, and customer satisfaction in the context of RDD facilities construction. This research successfully tackles the research objectives and developed practicable project risk monitoring and control practices of risk management model for R&D facilities construction projects. Therefore, by consistently integrating these practices into their daily project activities, R&D and construction professionals can mitigate risks and address challenges prevalent in the construction industry, contributing to improved project outcomes.

Published: June 2024

This study investigated which between individualized and collaborative formative assessments resulted in better student performance when implemented along with the use of PowerPoint in teaching and learning combinatorics concepts of Grade 10 Mathematics. The respondents in this study were all the Grade 10
students of Osiao Paglingap National High School, one of the coastal public secondary schools in the Schools Division of Sorsogon City. The instruments used were the researcher-made tests, the student participation checklist, and the anecdotal records. The data collected were analyzed using statistical tools
such as weighted mean, independent samples t-test, and paired samples t-test. All tests were at 0.05 level of significance. Cohen’s d values were also obtained to determine the effect sizes of individualized and formative assessments as used in facilitating the learning sessions in each group of students. This study
found that there was no significant difference between the performance of the two groups of students before the start of the learning sessions, hence, making the two groups ideal subjects of the study. Both groups were taught through direct instruction along with the use of PowerPoint. It was found that students
exposed to collaborative formative assessments gained higher mean gain and post-test scores compared to those students who underwent individualized formative assessments. The difference between the performances of the two groups of students, however, was not significant. It has been concluded that both individualized and collaborative formative assessments played an important role in checking the students’ understanding during the teaching and learning of the combinatorics concepts of Grade 10 Mathematics. It was recommended that studies similar to this research be conducted while considering other groups of
students according to their diversity. In addition, another group of students that will experience a researcher-designed combination of individualized and collaborative formative assessments may be included in the study.
