Larvicidal efficacy of chloroform extract of mangrove plant Acanthus ilicofolius
Get PDFBased on the data from Government of India National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP) Department of Health & Family Welfare six species of local mosquitoes are identified viz, Anopheles culicifacies, Aedes aegypti, Culex quinquifasciatus, C. vishnui, C. pseudovishnui and C. tritaeniorhynchus. Based on the data sampling was done for Anopheles mosquito and their larvae, Aedes mosquito and their larvae, and Culex quinquifasciatus and their larvae. Acanthus ilicifolius, also known as holly-leaved acanthus, sea holly, and holy mangrove, is a shrub or herb belonging to the Acanthaceae family. The plant grows up to 2 metres (6 feet 7 inches) tall as a shrub. It has shallow tap roots and, on rare occasions, a stilt root. Kidney-shaped fruits. It can be found in mangrove areas. The leaves are collected, cleaned, and shade dried before being powdered and squeezed into a fine powder. Chloroform, and distilled water are used to macerate the powder. The stock solution is made with the extract. Bioassays using chloroform extract is used to examine the effect on larvae. For the control group, 100 percent mortality occurred during the first two hours, and for the 10% solution group, it occurred within six hours. The mortality rate for a 1 percent solution is 60% after 24 hours, but just 20% for a 0.1 percent solution. Based on the findings, it was determined that chloroform extract of Acanthus ilicofolius leaves can be utilised as larvicides
GLOBAL MARKETISATION, COMPETITION AND MANAGEMENT: ITS IMPACT ON PRESENT HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM
Get PDFHigher education is extremely important for a county as it creates different types of specialised persons in different fields. As India gears towards becoming a knowledge society, higher education would be one of the main propellers of this transformation. Higher education is a critical input of human development since it has a direct correlation with infrastructure and GDP. In an increasingly knowledge- centric society, institutions of higher education need to constantly adapt, evolve and innovate. Even larger changes are happening on the cultural side. Economic and cultural globalisation has ushered in a new era in higher education. Three pillars of higher education are Access, Quality and Relevance need to be perfectly worked out and the objectives of reform and change in our higher education system must be expansion, excellence and inclusion. However, sincere efforts should be made at all levels to bring excellence in Indian higher education system. This paper has tried to outline how global phenomena in higher education focuses on global marketisation, competition and management in higher education
Attitude of TTI Rangjung trainees towards TVET in Bhutan
Get PDFAnchored on qualitative research paradigm using online interview method involving15 sampled trainees via emails, this study attempted to find out what beliefs and feelings respondents had for TVET before joining TTI- Rangjung, how do they feel now as their training goes on and what do they aspire to be after graduating from here.TVET is not considered as mainstream career choice by young people, job seekers and society at large. Despite thestigma and belief that TVET leads to second class profession, this study found that both children and parents’ attitude towards TVET has changed from negative to positive.This study also found that TVET indeed provides skills and enhances their employability. Trainees are happy in the institute and they have gained confidence for self-employment and developed great aspiration to go abroad for work. This should only contribute lifting the image of TVET. “TVET is poor man’s college”!This is an interesting finding.I define it as, “let rich go to other universities, poor are not deprived of a college”. There is TVET (TTIs) as their university which is equally important. Equipping the institute with enough latest tools and equipment should be an immediate important task for both the institute and theMoLHR. Capacity building of trainers is another finding that calls for consistent support.Conducting more advocacy programs will make society better aware of the importance of TVET. Introducing higher level courses will also improve quality, speed and relevance of TVET.The minimum entry qualification should also be raised to class XII from class
Water Resources Mapping along the Jilango /Shabel-Dulla Areas of Laghdera Subcounty in Northern Kenya
Get PDFThe Jilango and Shabel-Dulla areas are located in the Laghdera Sub- County of Garissa County, in North Eastern Kenya, on the fringes of the distal Merti aquifer. Water scarcity has been the number one factor contributing to the immense levels of poverty in the pastoralist centre. The resident inhabitants are of the nomadic-pastoralist lifestyles, raising livestock such as camels, goats and cows, for upkeep. The settlements are six kilometers apart and this is a deliberate effort by the villagers to live near the seasonal River Jilango, within whose beds the residents have sunk several sand wells to get water for their domestic use, and also, on a limited extent, to get little water for their livestock, mainly the sheep and goats. The water resources quality, ease of availability and priority ranking in the study area were undertaken using field traverse along the river channels and also via geophysical mapping in the selected sites in the neighborhood of the riverbed. Priority ranking was pegged upon the ready availability and cost effective way of getting water into the villages for use, for both domestic- and livestock- watering purposes. In areas where groundwater potential was inferred using Geophysical mapping, it became paramount that the study gets to estimate the water quality expected from the yet-to-be-drilled proposed well points. Groundwater potential estimation was also undertaken using field geophysics and GIS, as well as the Decision Tree algorithms in R software packages. Precision and sensitivity analysis of the data was also undertaken using the python Softwares and returned favorable results for the techniques employed. Feasibility for Wells, Earthpans, Springs and piped water from Baraki Centre were all considered, in terms of how much each option would cost to the community. This involved physical transects and meetings with members of the public in the proposed locality. From the table so prepared, it was decided to rank groundwater as number two priority source, mainly for use by r livestock and an earthpan as number one for human domestic usages, based on water quality and other factors considered. The study shows the priority ranking of water resources in the study area as well as the fact that predicted groundwater quality is of inferior order, and recommends the designing and construction of a big storage dam to aid domestic water supply. This shall complement the available aquifer water which, though saline and of low discharge, can be tolerated by the livestock. Equally deduced from the study is the fact the decision tree algorithm is a useful hydrological assessment tool, as it was used to a degree of over 90 percent precision levels, in predicting the water quality that will be encountered in the locality, once the new well water is drilled
Propaganda and Electioneering Campaign in Nigeria: A Case of 2015 and 2019 General Election in Ondo State
Get PDFThe 2015 and 2019 general elections in Nigeria are one of the elections that have drawn the attention of so many countries as a result of their uniqueness, challenges and successes recorded. Political campaignscolouration in Nigeria took another dimension. Political campaigns and propagandaare ways by which political practitioners market themselves to voters and to win elections. This study used the case study of 2015 and 2019 elections to examine propaganda and election campaigns in Nigeria.The struggle for power at the federal level was considered tough amidst the two dominating parties: Peoples Democratic Parties (PDP) and All Progressive Congress (APC). The tussle for the central controlmade several parties to adopt numerous measures to ensure that they win the political seats which could be tantamount to propaganda. This substantiate the submission that surmise that politics whether national or international is the struggle for the minds and resources of men. In this contest, those who struggle for power use all forms of deception including lies. Those who win, win all and grow fat, while those who lose, lose all and grow lean. The study examined the different propaganda methods used by political parties in the 2015 and 2019 Nigeria’s general elections vis-à-vis the issues/problems of political propaganda as regarding the election results in Nigeria using Ondo State as the case study. It also looked into the successive government efforts to curb the excessive use of propaganda by Nigerian political parties before and during elections. The study relied on the use of Rational Choice Theory as the theoretical framework for the work. Both primary and secondary data collection sources were adopted by the researcher in which a total of one hundred and fifty (150) questionnaires were distributed to respondents in Ondo state. Similarly, the use of publications, journals, articles, magazines and internet sources were relied upon as basis for sources of secondary data. The questionnaires wereanalysed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation); SPSS and secondary data using content analysis. It was discovered that voters in Nigeria do not necessarily make independent electoral choices rather they rely on primordial decisions vis-à-vis the use of lies in propaganda of socio-ethno-religious leaders who equally double as the representatives of various political parties to make political decisions. The study recommended for an issue-based campaign which will enable the citizez vis-à-vis the electorates be given a free choice of selecting their leaders without political actors interfering in their decision
