The Impact of Campus Facilities and Lecturer Services on Student Satisfaction in Higher Education
Get PDFEducation is the foundation of a nation. Universities have an important role in educating the nation\u27s life and are responsible for the progress of a nation. To achieve good quality education, a lot of involvement from various parties is needed. Apart from that, adequate infrastructure and educators in universities need to be considered. This research is motivated by the importance of lecturer facilities and services at the STKIP PGRI Ponorogo campus. The aim of this research is to determine the influence of campus facilities and lecturer services on student satisfaction at STKIP PGRI Ponorogo. This research uses a quantitative approach with descriptive methods. The objects of this research are all STKIP PGRI Ponorogo students. Based on the Anova table, it is shown that the value of Fcal is greater than that of Ftable, which is 33,536>3,168, then H1 is accepted. Meanwhile, the results of the determination coefficient (R2) show that the contribution of variable X can explain the variable Y. Thus, it can be concluded that student satisfaction (Y) can be influenced by campus facilities and lecturer services (X) by only 55%. The remaining 45% is influenced by other variables that are not included in this study. After being analyzed using multiple linear regression, it can be concluded that student satisfaction is influenced by campus facilities and lecturer services

Business Transformation and the Performance of Manufacturing Frms in Nigeria
Get PDFThe business atmosphere is increasingly becoming competitive due to the reality of global dynamics. Thus, firms especially, the manufacturing sub-sector need to adopt transformation strategies to enable them compete favorably. This study titled Business transformation and Performance of the Manufacturing Firms in Nigeria is written to examine the effect of business transformation on performance of manufacturing sub-sector in North-Central Nigeria. The population of the study was 1404 spread across the selected manufacturing firms in Nigeria. However, due to the fact that the population is large the researcher utilized the Godden sample size statistical technique to reach 302 respondents, however, only 284 respondents completed and returned their questionnaire which shows a retrieval rate of 94%. More so, the study applied research survey design, and the statistical tools applied comprised descriptive and parametric statistics. More so, the hypothesis was tested using simple linear regression analysis. The findings revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between Technological Resource application and First Pass Yield (r =.939, p-value <0.05. In view of the finding, the study concluded that there is a significant positive relationship between Business transformation and Performance of manufacturing firms in Nigeria. Anchored on the finding the study recommends that a Business Transformation techniques should be improved and periodic review be carried out in order to sustain and improve performance
A Study of Feminine Identity Crisis in Anita Desai’s Fictional Work
Get PDFThis research delves into Anita Desai\u27s literary exploration of the feminine identity crisis, examining how her novels depict women\u27s battles against societal and familial restrictions. Through an intersectional feminist perspective, Desai\u27s works, including Fire on the Mountain, Cry the Peacock, and Voices in the City, are analyzed to reveal the enduring perception of women\u27s inferiority and their roles as sacrificial figures within the family structure. Employing a descriptive methodology and drawing from primary sources and socio-psychological frameworks, this study interprets Desai\u27s portrayal of women\u27s struggles for autonomy amidst societal pressures. Through thematic exploration and character analysis, it uncovers the nuances of female experiences, their quest for identity, and the entrenched influence of patriarchal norms. Ultimately, the research illuminates Desai\u27s depiction of women\u27s resilience and their journey toward emancipation in the face of systemic oppression
Application of Stacked Ensemble Techniques on Ensemble Feature Selection Techniques for Classifying Recurrent Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Prognosis
Get PDFThis study aimed to identify the optimal combination of the stacked ensemble (SE) and the heterogeneous ensemble feature selection (HETR-EFS) technique for classifying HNSCC recurrence patterns. Four SE classification models were developed based on various EFS techniques, using GBM meta-classifiers in each case. The results showed that implementing the SE technique consisting of five base classifiers on the heterogeneous ensemble feature (HETR-EF) subset achieved better performance than other EF subsets and HETR-EFs. Thus, learning SE technique having five base classifiers on HETR-EFs is clinically appropriate as a prognostic model for classifying and predicting HNSCC patients\u27 recurrence data. The SE technique, which combines base classifier models, is clinically appropriate for classifying and predicting HNSCC patients\u27 recurrence data. The study highlights the importance of finding a machine learning algorithm that performs best given varied distributions, as not all algorithms are equally created.

Analysis of the Screening Process for TB Case Detection in Gleno Health Centre, Letefoho and Railako in 2022
Get PDFTuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of death worldwide, killing about 1.5 million people annually. However, over 3 million TB cases are lost annually, not diagnosed or diagnosed but not informed. Pulmonary tuberculosis attacks the parenchyma of the lungs. This research aimed to analyze the TB case detection process at Gleno Health Centre and Letefoho Health Centre using the Analytic Observational method with a Transversal Approach (Cros-sectional). The population involved was all health personnel working at the Gleno Health Centre. The findings showed a significant association between the screening process for detecting tuberculosis cases in the community at Gleno Community Health Centre, Letefoho Community Health Centre, and the screening process for detecting tuberculosis cases in the laboratory at these health centers. There was also a significant association between the screening process for detecting tuberculosis cases in the community at Letefoho Community Health Centre and the screening process for detecting tuberculosis cases in the laboratory at Letefoho Community Health Centre. The research found significant effectiveness in detecting TB cases before and after screening
Analysis of Youth Engagement in Rice Production in North Central, Nigeria
Get PDFThis study evaluated youth engagement in rice production in selected states of north central, Nigeria. In this study, primary data was used and the data was collected through the use of structured questionnaire. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics, stochastic production frontier. The results showed that 79% of the producers were male. This indicates the dominance of male in rice production. Among the producers, youths who are ≤ 20 years (24%) engaged in weeding, 20% of youths who are 21-30 years engaged in land clearing activities. Determining the technical efficiency in rice production seed (p<0.01), fertilizer (p<0.01), labour (p<0.01) were among the significant factors. Result of the inefficiency model of technical efficiency revealed that sex, age, marital status, educational status had positive coefficient. Variability in prices of rice was ranked as the foremost constraints militating against the performance of rice producers as asserted by 95% of the respondents. From the finding it is therefore, recommended that rice producer should be encouraged and sensitized in their production activities in order to attain self-sufficiency in rice production
The Influence of Work Discipline and Internal Communication on Employee Performance at PT Draco International
Get PDFInternal communication has an important role in the company to facilitate coordination so that employees are more productive at work and have a positive impact on the development of the company.
