Youth involvement in criminal activities in Oyi local government area of Anambra state
Full text linkYouths involve in criminal activities globally. Nigeria as a country is not an exception. Youths
involve themselves in criminal activities for several reasons. The problem of youth
involvement in crime has become a serious challenge to the society especially in Oyi local
government area of Anambra state. The issue affects not just the individuals but also family
members and the society at large. The implication is that the youth becomes useless rather than
being useful to the society. The society is at risk because it leads to insecurity thereby giving
bad image to the community. This is a theoretical work that made use of secondary sources of
data like journals, academic sources. The strain theory was the theoretical framework for the
work. It explains the rationale for crime among youths. It examined factors influencing youth
involvement in criminal activities and possible solutions to the problem. The factors ranges
from poverty, unemployment, family size, peer pressure and so on. Recommendations were
given such as giving of incentives to youths in entrepreneurship, parents speaking to their
children against crime, religious bodies talking about morality and also job creation by the
governments for the youths.theoretical anchorage; strain theory; the concept of youth criminality; factors that influence youth involvement in criminal activity; poverty; family size; unemployment; peer pressure/ influence; consequences of youth involvement in criminal activities; effects on the individual; unsecured environment; measures to ameliorate the involvement of youth in criminal activities

Analysis of timbercrete: sawdust-infused concrete mixtures
Full text linkThis investigation aims to advance sustainable construction practices by investigating the feasibility and environmental benefits of incorporating sawdust instead of sand in concrete mixtures. By using sawdust, a byproduct of the forestry industry, in the process of making concrete, the investigation addresses the pressing need for resource conservation and waste reduction, since the construction sector is a significant user of raw materials.
According to British European Norm Standard BS 8500-2:2023 for C35 grade concrete, the experimental programme examines how different percentages of sawdust (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%) substituted for sand affect the physical
characteristics of concrete, including its compressive strength, dry density, and water absorption. The workability, consistency, and strength of the sawdust-incorporated concrete mixes were assessed by a combination of techniques including sieve analysis, slump testing, casting
and curing procedures, and compression tests. The results indicate a potential reduction in material costs and environmental impact with
the ideal sawdust content by showing a negative association between the amount of sawdust and the concrete's density and compressive
strength. A larger sawdust content was associated with higher rates of water absorption, highlighting the hygroscopic nature of sawdust and
its implications for the durability of concrete. According to the investigation's results, it is possible to substitute concrete with up to 5%
sawdust, providing an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional concrete while still having sufficient mechanical properties for
use in construction. It is recommended that further research be conducted to improve sawdust's compatibility with cementitious materials,
increase the durability of sawdust-incorporated concrete, and create industry guidelines for its use. This investigation contributes to the
body of knowledge on environmentally friendly building materials by promoting the use of sawdust and other eco-friendly substitutes in
the building sector to reduce negative effects on the environment and increase resource efficiencymaterials and methods; sieve analysis; test procedure; slump test; casting and curing; compression test; water absorption; dry density

The transformative role of digital resources in teaching and learning
No full textThis study examines the evolving terrain of Digital Resources (DR) by investigating its influence on teaching methodologies and student achievement and exploring the diverse aspects of integrating these resources to improve teaching methods and establish more efficient learning settings. The study focuses on diverse DR, such as Learning Management Systems (LMS), interactive software, online platforms, and Collaboration and Communication Tools; including multimedia content used to produce Educational Software and Applications, and evaluates their influence on engagement, accessibility, and overall student success. These examples of digital resources represent the diverse array of digital tools that contribute to the transformation of teaching and learning in various educational settings. This list is not exhaustive,
as the field of digital resources is continually evolving with the advancement of technology. The impact of these tools extends to areas such as accessibility, personalized learning, and the enhancement of both in-person and online education. Examining the integration of adaptive learning platforms seeks to understand how technology adapts to individual learning needs, providing tailored support to students and promoting a deeper understanding of educational content. Furthermore, the study explores the global connectivity and collaboration facilitated by DR, investigating the impact of virtual classrooms, video conferencing, and collaborative platforms on students' ability to connect with their peers and educators worldwide. It seeks to identify how this interconnectedness contributes to cultural awareness, diverse perspectives, and the development of global competencies. It also addresses challenges related to digital literacy, ethical use, and equitable access as it unfolds. The research aims to provide insights that inform best practices for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders in the ongoing endeavor to optimize integrating DR into teaching and learning. Ultimately, this research aspires to contribute valuable knowledge supporting education's evolution in the digital age. The researcher explores the transformative role of DR in education, examining how these tools contribute to a more dynamic and inclusive learning environment.digital resources; interconnectivity; e-learning; digitalization; educational technology; educational tools
