Effects of Electronic Communication on the Mechanical Accuracy of Secondary School Students
Authors: Ambrose Lynda 
Published: April 2024

This study examined the effects of electronic communication on the mechanical accuracy of the written essays of private senior secondary school students in Oredo Local Government Area, Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria. The study employed a quantitative research approach with the use of questionnaires and direct observations as instrument used for data collection. The focus is on mechanical accuracy which involves grammar, punctuation and spelling (GPS) in the students’ essay writing. Private secondary schools in Oredo LGA in Edo State are 36, out of these, 10 schools were selected using the convenience sampling technique;15 students from each school were also purposively selected, making a total of 150 students. In all, 101 questionnaires were well filled out and retrieved successfully. However, the researcher rounded it up to 100. Simple percentage method was used to analyse the data. Results showed that 89% of the students make use of mobile phones for communication more than any other means of electronic media, while 64% used their phones for social networking. The results further showed an equilibrium in the percentage of students of whom the social network/communication affect their grammar and spelling which rates 41% each. Only 18% responded that it affected their punctuation. However, a close observation showed that inconsistent spelling, inappropriate use of punctuation marks, concord and wrong use of capitalisation are major pitfalls in the written essays of the senior secondary school students.

Authors: Tribuana Dhimas , Hazriani  , Arda Abdul Latief 
Published: April 2024

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are at the forefront of computer vision, relying heavily on the quality of input data determined by the preprocessing method. An undue preprocessing approach will result in poor learning performance. This study critically examines the impact of advanced image pre-processing techniques on computational neural networks (CNNs) in facial recognition. Emphasizing the importance of data quality, we explore various pre-processing approaches, including noise reduction, histogram equalization, and image hashing. Our methodology involves feature visualization to improve facial feature discernment, training convergence analysis, and real-time model testing. The results demonstrate significant improvements in model performance with the preprocessed dataset: average accuracy, recall, precision, and F1 score enhancements of 4.17%, 3.45%, 3.45%, and 3.81%, respectively. Additionally, real-time testing shows a 21% performance increase and a 1.41% reduction in computing time. This study not only underscores the effectiveness of preprocessing in boosting CNN capabilities, but also opens avenues for future research in applying these methods to diverse image types and exploring various CNN architectures for comprehensive understanding.

Authors: Martins Antunes Marcus Vinicius 
Published: April 2024

RESUMO: O presente artigo baseia-se em investigação feita em pós-doutoramento na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, nos anos 2016/2017. No campo do direito constitucional, versa sobre a existência de sucessivos atos, quase todos escritos, normativos, no período dos anos 1821/ 1823, que antecedem a convocação da assembleia constituinte de 1823, e posteriores à sua reunião e dissolução, até a outorga da Constituição de 1824. O objetivo era confirmar a existência de normas pré-constitucionais, estudadas em publicação anterior, capazes de pré-conformar o exercício do poder constituinte pela assembleia, e mesmo no ato formal de outorga da Constituição. Foi feita pesquisa primária de documentos, de bibliografia, através do método histórico-dialético. Confirma-se a hipótese inicial, com ajustes necessários. O exame dos decretos, conteúdo e circunstâncias, permite perceber uma linha de continuidade em direção ao processo de constitucionalização liberal, enquanto a linha de acesso à soberania nacional é elíptica, recua e avança, numa segunda etapa. O texto da constituição de 1824 é virtualmente a consolidação de tudo que se construiu no período entre fevereiro de 1821 a março de 1824.
