Abstract: Despite the fact
that other devastating diseases have overshadowed AIDs, in
Africa, particularly this year of COVIC 19, pandemic, AIDs is
still an issue in impoverished Africa. This study was undertaken
to find out the impact of inclusion of sex education into the
secondary school curriculum in the ongoing fight against HIV/AIDs,
and other sexually transmitted diseases(STDs). The was carried
out in five selected secondary schools in Kwali area council of
federal capital territory(FCT), Nigeria. The population of the
study comprise of 184 students and teachers across the selected
schools, and the instrument used was a well-structured
questionnaire. The result was analyzed using chi-square goodness
of fit analysis test. The result showed the following amongst
others; that the inclusion of sex education into the secondary
school curriculum will have a significant impact in the fight
against HIV/AIDs and other STDs at P>0.05, rejecting null
hypothesis 1, and accepting the alternative hypothesis. It also
affirmed that teaching sex education in Nigeria secondary
schools will have significant impact in reviving the
deteriorated sexual morality in the society at P>0.05, hence the
null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis
retained. Above all teaching sex education in our secondary
schools will have a significant impact on our national
development at P>0.05. The following recommendations amongst
others were made, that parents should relate well with their
children in order to create the right atmosphere for the
opportunity to teach their wards sexuality. School
administrators should create avenues of teaching sexuality to
students by creating club and societies, organizing quiz and
debates centered on awareness on HIV/AIDs, and other STDs and
others, and above all government should include its teaching in
the curriculum.

Abstract:
A study was carried out to
investigate the influence of Phyto-environmental variables on
mosquitoe abundance and malaria prevalence amongst student in
University of Uyo town campus. Data on the abundance of female
mosquitoes were obtained from weekly collections at 4 sampling
stations within the study area between 07:00 and 09:00am hours
throughout the season (June – July 2020). In order to provide
information on incidence of malaria among individuals in each
location, structured questionnaires were randomly administered
to 80 respondents (20 in each location) on a weekly basis for
four rounds. The results showed that the distribution of malaria
vector in the study locations and on a temporal scale differed
significantly. Conclusively, malaria seems endemic in location 3
and the highest prevalence was recorded in week 3. The location
and the periods with high prevalence are believed to present
ambient conditions favourable for increased ovipositioning and
vectoral competence. Adequate understanding of vector ecology is
needed to control mosquito particularly in deploying
environmental modification around host settlements.

Abstract:
The investigation of extreme events is extremely relevant for a
range of disciplines in mathematical, natural, and social
sciences and engineering. Understanding the large fluctuations
of the system of interest is of great importance from a
theoretical point of view, but also when it comes to assessing
the risk associated with low probability and high impact events.
In many cases, in order to gauge preparedness and resilience
properly, one would like to be able to quantify the return times
for events of different intensity and take suitable measures for
preventing the expected impacts. Prominent examples are weather
and climate extremes, which can have a huge impact on human
society and natural ecosystems. The present uncertainty in the
future projections of extremes makes their study even more
urgent and crucial

Abstract:This
study was designed to examine the level of polymerization of
sickle cell disease and methaeglobin in the presence of
paracetamol using standard procedures. The present study has
shown the level of polymerization of sickle cell disease and
methaemoglobin in the presence of paracetamol. Within the
experimental time of 30-180s, the relative polymerizations range
between the following; 70.43 ± 0.87 to 72.10 ± 0.37 at the
control (0 mg/dL), at 50 mg/dL, there was an increase from 65.78
± 0.89 to 69.47±1.00, at 100 mg/dL there was an increase in the
polymerization from 68.96 ± 0.99 to 72.33 ±1.02, at 200 mg/dL
there was an increase in the polymerization from 65.96 ± 69.26 ±
1.00 and at 500 mg/dL, there was an increase in the
polymerization form 66.05 ± 0.98 to 69.42 ± 0.92. This increase
in polymerization can be said to be due to the increase in the
absorbance of paracetamol. However, the absorbance of the
polymerization mixture in the presence of the malarial drug was
not significantly different (p<0.05) from the control sample at
the 30second. The present study showed that the level of
polymerization of HbS molecules was attenuated upon the
introduction of the anti-malarial drugs in the polymerizing
mixture. The percentage of methaemoglobin increases with the
increase in concentration of paracetamol from 2.77 ± 0.05 to
3.30 ± 0.03 starting from 0mg/dL to 500mg/dL concentration.

Abstract:
This study investigates
mathematics and the growth of small scale enterprises in
Port-Harcourt. The research used a survey design. The sample of
the research comprises of one hundred and twenty (120) small
scale entrepreneurs. The research was conducted in different
business areas of Port-Harcourt through a simple random
technique. The researches comprise two Research questions and
two hypotheses to guide the study. The instrument of data
collection was questionnaires and interviews. Arithmetic mean
was used to analyze the result. The result of the data analysis
shows significant difference in the mean scores of the small
scale entrepreneurs without mathematical skills and the small
scale entrepreneurs with mathematical skills in favor of the
small scale entrepreneurs with mathematical skills. The finding
also revealed that male entrepreneurs with mathematical skills
grow their business higher than their female counterparts. It
was therefore, recommended that the operators of small scale
enterprises should acquire mathematical skill to enhance their
business growth.

Abstract:
In this research paper we
analyse and compare the economies of scale and technical change
in Haryana manufacturing industries at aggregate and
disaggregate level and before and after economic liberalisation.
It is well recognized fact that among many sources of total
factor productivity growth, technical (both direct and indirect)
change and economies of scale are largest contributing sources,
so it becomes all the more important to discuses these two
separately. The
estimates of Scale economies and rate of technical change for
different industrial groups of Haryana manufacturing industries
are reported in table 4.1. The elasticity of cost with respect
to output measures scale economies and the magnitude of neutral
technical change effect, non-neutral technical change effect and
scale augmenting technical change effect is reflected in the
estimates of calculated for different industrial groups and
reported.

Abstract:At
present, the calculation of 2nd/3rd/4th degree equations in one
variable is complicated, and it is difficult to universally
apply. There is no solution for entangled one-variable 5th
degree calculus equations. Propose a circle logarithm algorithm:
One of the highlights is the integration of discrete data
statistics and entangled neural network analysis, and arithmetic
analysis is performed between unlabeled circle logarithms {0 to
1}. It involves the foundation of mathematics, the reform of
traditional calculus, and the algorithm of a new generation of
computer neural networks. Here is a reorganization of the bylaws
to solve the complete problem of the 2nd/3rd/4th/5th degree
calculus equation, and provide relevant experts, scholars,
readers to verify and check the calculation, and it can also be
converted into the compilation of new computer programs.

Abstract:
Daily solar radiation reaching the land surface is one of the
most common parameters used in modeling and projects of
hydrology, agriculture, meteorology and climatology. Most
estimating models of radiation reaching the land surface using
satellite data are based on the land surface temperature. In
this study, the accuracy of solar radiation estimation was
studied using artificial neural network models and M5 model
tree, with the inputs including land surface temperature and
water vapor of MODIS sensor in combination with extraterrestrial
radiation. The solar radiation data were collected from six
stations in three consecutive years (2003- 2005) and used as
actual data. The stations include (Bojnoord, Isfahan, Hamadan,
Kermanshah, Khurobiabanak and Tabriz). Based on the results, the
neural network model of Khurobiabanak station with R 2
0 /97 and Hamadan station with the R 2 0/71, have the
highest and the lowest accuracy in estimating solar radiation,
respectively. The results showed that both models estimate the
radiation reaching the Earth's surface with good accuracy and
provide almost identical results.
