The Alpha Power Exponentiated Inverse Exponential distribution, often known as the APEIEx distribution, is employed in this situation with two shapes and one or more scale parameters. In this work, significant statistical features including the Survival function, Hazard function, Quantile function, the Middle value (Median), the Lower (1st) quantile, the Upper (3rd) quantile, the r th Moment, the Moment generating function, and the order statistics are investigated. With the aid of the BFGS method, the parameters of the proposed distribution are determined using maximum likelihood estimation. When compared to other distributions employed in this investigation, the proposed distribution clearly offers a better fit for the Italy’s Covid-19 Mortality rates data. This demonstrates the flexibility and adaptability of the APEIEx distribution for the Covid-19 Mortality rates in Italy

Raspberry Pi Based Smart Navigation System for the Visually Challenged

Un... more Self-determination is the foundational mechanism for realising one's dreams and goals in life. Unsighted people are justified in going out on their own. There are millions of visually challenged persons in the globe who are always in need of assistance. They must rely entirely on others for every minor work, not only devices. To replace the aforementioned gaps in the lives of visually challenged people, we offered a gadget loaded with modern technology that would allow the individual to conduct their own job rather than rely on others. In this project, we will use a Raspberry Pi to create a navigation system for visually challenged people, the system would contain a pi cam module to detect the objects further that will be implanted with a moisture and ultrasonic sensor to detect real-time obstacles while walking and will be linked to the Google Maps cloud for optimal navigation. This will result in a smart system that will be incredibly beneficial for blind people while also being more precise and safe. Blind individuals use voice to engage with the system. Using 4G technology, the cloud platform communicates with the smart phone. The suggested system may give more plentiful surrounding information and more accurate navigation, as well as validate the system's practicability.

Non-Invasive Bladder Volume Measurement and Monitoring System Using Raspberry Pi

cord injuries and some elderly people, who lack the ability to feel when their bladders are full or who have
difficulty getting to the toilet on time. For those who experience urine incontinence, real-time bladder
monitoring can be quite beneficial. The two main types of invasive and non-invasive bladder volume
monitoring devices can be separated. For precise urine volume measurement, invasive procedures involve
directly inserting a catheter into the urethra. The urinary tract may be harmed, and it is uncomfortable and
restricts the user's normal movements. [1]This study will investigate the measurement of bladder volume
using non-invasive techniques like ultrasound. Urinary incontinence can consequently greatly benefit from
real-time bladder monitoring. A variety of wearable devices with various sensing and communication
technologies have recently been developed in an effort to produce both invasive and non-invasive
approaches.

Visual Research of the motifs found on traditional Arani Silk Sarees in Tamil Nadu, India using semiotic analysis

It is famous for its lightweight designs and simplicity. Until 1995, only small motifs or buttas were created on traditional Arni silk sarees using a technique called "Jungu" or "Adai". Later Jacquards were introduced to weave wide varieties of contemporary and trendy designs. However, the traditional, simple motifs are still in vogue. They use temple architecture as an inspiration, and motifs are named after objects and natural phenomena that have deep cultural significance. In order to keep up with contemporary fashion and style and to create fresh visual setups, these motifs are placed on different parts of the saree and are used in combination with vibrant colours, different varieties of zaris and small variations of buttas. These innovations expand the commercial appeal of the saree and allow weavers to have a steady income, while staying true to the culture and tradition. The aim of our research is to explore various traditional motifs found in Arani silk sarees, to decipher the cultural connotation behind these symbols and motifs using semiotic analysis techniques, and to understand the visual themes these motifs are meant to convey.

Almonds are also known for their antioxidant properties, which can help prevent diseases and promote better health. However, different almond cultivars may have varying nutrient and antioxidant characteristics, which could affect their potential health benefits. In this study, we compared the antioxidant and nutrient characteristics of three different almond cultivars: Kaghzi, Katha, and American. The samples were collected from a farm and analyzed for their physicochemical properties. The results showed that Kaghzi almonds had the highest antioxidant activity, as well as the highest mineral content, fiber, ash, total sugars, and fatty acids, compared to the other two cultivars. Kaghzi almonds also had the highest carbohydrates content, while American almonds had the highest protein content. On the other hand, Katha almonds had the lowest values for most of the analyzed parameters. The high antioxidant activity and nutrient content of Kaghzi almonds suggest that they may offer the most significant health benefits among the three cultivars analyzed. The findings could be useful for developing almond-based food products with enhanced nutritional and antioxidant properties. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the potential health benefits of different almond cultivars and highlights the importance of considering the nutrient and antioxidant characteristics of almonds when selecting or using them for dietary or food purposes.

time. They are strongly believed to be auspicious signs that can ward off bad influences and jinxes.
Paintings of a fearsome demon face with a large moustache, fangs and bug-eyes are prevalent in the walls
of factories and houses in Arni, a town in the state of Tamil Nadu, South India. Fear of misfortune, bad
fate, unusual and unfavourable phenomena, have made the use of Dhrishti Bommai paintings popular
locally. The goal of the study that follows was to analyse the cultural impact and influence of Dhrishti
Bommai paintings in local life. Photographs of Dhrishti Bommai were collected through primary research.
These photographs were then visually analysed using a semiotic approach where they were deconstructed
in order to analyse the connotations and reasons behind their creation. An ethnographic research study was
also carried out where local participants were interviewed based on a question guide.

Data were analyzed using a quantitative approach. The quantitative data analysis approaches were descriptive statistics that is; frequencies, percentages, and means.Inferential analyses were correlation and regression analyses. The study findings indicated that only two aspects of occupational health (β = 0.271, p = 0.004 < 0.05) and safety practices (β = 0.568, p = 0.000 < 0.05) had a positive and significant influence on performance of health workers while environment (β =-0.090, p = 0.312 < 0.05) had a negative and insignificant influence on performance of health workers. Therefore, it was concluded that the workplace environment is the most critical factor in keeping health workers satisfied. The use of occupational health procedures, following instructions promotes the effective performance of health workers. Safety practices are one of the critical components for the performance of health workers. It was thus recommended that management of health institutions should promote the work environment for health workers; management of health institutions should put in place clear occupational health policies for health workers and management of health institutions should provide sufficient Safety practices.

Such reforms allow learners to become ready for higher education, middle-level skills development, entrepreneurship, and employment, dubbed as the four Senior High School (SHS) curriculum exits. In this context, the study assessed the awareness of students on the said curriculum exits and evaluated the implementation of career guidance services such as career information, career education, career counselling, employment counselling, and job placement in schools. The study made use of descriptive research design. Results showed that most students are moderately aware on the four curriculum exits. The school administrators, teachers and students believed that guidance services are moderately implemented; hence, their assessments differed on the implementation of the said services. Finally, the researchers prepared a self-help module entitled &quot;Career Counselling Module for 21st Century Learners&quot; which is intended to make students more enlightened on what to do and where to go after SHS.

In this study, simple linear regression is used, since two variables were majorly involved. Some sample data of JME scores and Gross Point Average (GPA) were used to build a model for predicting the mean values of the GPA when the values of JME Score are known, and to obtain the measure of errors involved in such prediction. The results show that the correlation coefficient, R is 0.137 which implies that the relationship between GPA and JME scores is very weak but positive. The coefficient of determination R2 achieved 0.0188, meaning that our regression model can only explain 1.9% of the observed variability in the data. The other 98.1% is unexplained due to many other factors that can affect a student performance while in the University. Inference statistics about the fitted regression equation were computed, which gav...

Almonds are also known for their antioxidant properties, which can help prevent diseases and promote better health. However, different almond cultivars may have varying nutrient and antioxidant characteristics, which could affect their potential health benefits. In this study, we compared the antioxidant and nutrient characteristics of three different almond cultivars: Kaghzi, Katha, and American. The samples were collected from a farm and analyzed for their physicochemical properties. The results showed that Kaghzi almonds had the highest antioxidant activity, as well as the highest mineral content, fiber, ash, total sugars, and fatty acids, compared to the other two cultivars. Kaghzi almonds also had the highest carbohydrates content, while American almonds had the highest protein content. On the other hand, Katha almonds had the lowest values for most of the analyzed parameters. The high antioxidant activity and nutrient content of Kaghzi almonds suggest that they may offer the most significant health benefits among the three cultivars analyzed. The findings could be useful for developing almond-based food products with enhanced nutritional and antioxidant properties. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the potential health benefits of different almond cultivars and highlights the importance of considering the nutrient and antioxidant characteristics of almonds when selecting or using them for dietary or food purposes.

The active ingredients were extracted with absolute ethanol. Twentyfour albino mice used for this experiment were divided into six groups of 4 per group based on body weight. The groups were denoted A 1 , A 2 , A 3, A 4 , A 5 and A 6. All groups of A 4 to A 6 were infected with P. b.berghei and treated with the, A 1 normal control. A 2 parasitized untreated group, and A 3 treated with 10mg/kg weight of combisunate. Three days post inoculation with parasite; the experimental groups were treated with 200, 500 and 1000mg/kg per body weight of the ethanolic leaf extract respectively for five days. The mice were euthanized 6th day post inoculation. The result showed that the phytochemicals of the leaf present were alkaloids (5.39 ±0.21), anthraquinones (2.09±0.32), cyanogenic glycoside (0.24±0.52), flavonoids (8.02±0.82), saponins (0.34±0.2), steroids (0.34±0.26), tannin (3.24±0.12), and terpernoids (2.37±0.45). The chemo curative effect of the leaf extract showed 96.29%, 97.85% and 98.82% at concentration level of 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg body weight respectively. Percentage inhibition of the extract were not significantly different at p&gt;0.05 when compared with 98.85% inhibition rate exhibited by the standard drug. The haematological indices showed a mean value dose dependent increase in levels of Packed cell Volume, Haemoglobin, Red Blood cell and Neutrophill when compared to the positive control and a decrease in White Blood Cell when compared to the positive control. The plant extracts proved potent in clearing malaria parasite in the blood stream of the mice. This means that C. sieberianacan be included in pharmacology.

Curriculum Exit-based Career Counselling Module for Senior High School Students

Such reforms allow learners to become ready for higher education, middle-level skills development, entrepreneurship, and employment, dubbed as the four Senior High School (SHS) curriculum exits. In this context, the study assessed the awareness of students on the said curriculum exits and evaluated the implementation of career guidance services such as career information, career education, career counselling, employment counselling, and job placement in schools. The study made use of descriptive research design. Results showed that most students are moderately aware on the four curriculum exits. The school administrators, teachers and students believed that guidance services are moderately implemented; hence, their assessments differed on the implementation of the said services. Finally, the researchers prepared a self-help module entitled &quot;Career Counselling Module for 21st Century Learners&quot; which is intended to make students more enlightened on what to do and where to go after SHS.

In this study, simple linear regression is used, since two variables were majorly involved. Some sample data of JME scores and Gross Point Average (GPA) were used to build a model for predicting the mean values of the GPA when the values of JME Score are known, and to obtain the measure of errors involved in such prediction. The results show that the correlation coefficient, R is 0.137 which implies that the relationship between GPA and JME scores is very weak but positive. The coefficient of determination R2 achieved 0.0188, meaning that our regression model can only explain 1.9% of the observed variability in the data. The other 98.1% is unexplained due to many other factors that can affect a student performance while in the University. Inference statistics about the fitted regression equation were computed, which gav...

It destroys families, communities and cultures. It diverts scarce resources. It disrupts the societal infrastructure that supports health. It forces people to leave their homes and become internally displaced persons or refugees who have fled to other countries. It violates human rights. It promotes violence as a means to resolve conflicts and it degrades the environment. Armed conflict has an even more profound effect on lowand middle-income countries. Health professionals can play important roles in minimizing the adverse consequences of war and in preventing war itself provide evidence for conflict resolution efforts, we carried out retrospective documents an...

A Quantitative Study of Public Perception on Nuclear Power in Nigeria

This energy source is not without occurrences of severe and deadly accidents like that of Fukushima in 2011. However, the use of nuclear energy still attracts numerous positive and negative perceptions. The positive perceptions include: means of reducing emissions, achieving energy security and climate change mitigation while some of the major problems or negative public perceptions are: management of waste, radioactive waste disposal, distrust in the industry, inadequate security against terrorist attacks, safety concerns and costs of construction and decommissioning. This paper aimed to study public perception of nuclear power in Nigeria. Data for the study were collected from both secondary and primary sources. Secondary data were collected from related literatures and past studies across the World. Primary data wa...

Data used for this study wasobtained from a Spectro XEPOS, manufactured by AMETEK with an X–LabPro 5.1. software for data processing.Results showed that V/Ni ratio indicated that the sandstone series of 1850m to 2120m and 2350m to 2450mwere deposited in oxygen rich nearshore or shallow marine environment. The Fe2O3+MgO parameter showthat the sandstones of 1850m to 2120m have very low Fe2O3+MgO value, implying their source to becontinental crust, while the deeper series of 2120m to 3200m have very high values indicating their source tobe oceanic crust. The TiO2–Zr binary diagram show that majority of the samples were derived from sourcewith lithology, which corresponds to continental crust and continental arcs.
