2-D Spectral Analysis of Aeromagnetic Anomalies over Parts of Bida Basin, Nigeria
(Ilorin Journal of Science, 2024-11-03) Issa T. A. Olatunji S. and *Omolaiye G. E.
The average depth of magnetic sources was estimated in some portions of the Bida Basin. A 2-D spectral analysis of aeromagnetic anomalies over six aeromagnetic map sheets, each spanning an area of ½° x ½° on a scale of 1:100,000, was carried out. To identify residual features and draw attention to the more intense anomalies in comparison to the strong regional gradients, data augmentation techniques were used. Adopted techniques include various filtering approaches, trend surface analysis, and computations reducing to the equator. The result shows the two-depth source model of the part of the basin with an average depth of the deeper magnetic sources at 3.26 km, which corresponded to the magnetic basement surface. This layer may be associated with intra-basement characteristics including faults and fractures, lateral changes in basement susceptibilities, and magnetic rocks found in the basement. There are magnetic intrusive bodies within the sediments, as evidenced by the average depth of 1.22 km and a range of 0.68 km to 2.32 km for the shallower magnetic sources. The magnetic source's average depth of 3.26 km to the basement indicates a sufficient sedimentary thickness for potential hydrocarbon accumulation. The undulating nature of the basement surface may create traps for hydrocarbons, suggesting that the possibility of hydrocarbon accumulation cannot be ruled out.
A SURVEY OF STUDENTS AND FACILITATORS' PERCEPTIONS OF PROBLEMS IN OPEN UNIVERSITY SYSTEM, OYO AND KWARA STATES, NIGERIA
(Academic Research International, 2011-07) Dr. A. Y. Abdulkareem, Dr. Afolabi, S. O., Dr. Olorisade, O. G.
National Open University which was formally established in Nigeria in 1983 aimed at bridging the existing gaps in education. The study is a survey research of descriptive type which unveiled the myriads of problems facing the National Open University of Nigeria as perceived by the facilitators and the students in Kwara and Oyo States. Forty facilitators and fifty students randomly selected from Kwara and Oyo States study centres participated in the study. Questionnaire was the major instrument used while simple percentage and chi-square statistics were used to analyze the research questions and the two hypotheses generated respectively. The findings of the study revealed lack of standard classrooms, inadequate supply of electricity and inadequate funding which are the variables of resource allocation and organization, as major problems facing the Open University Programme in Nigeria. However, the study revealed that there is no significant difference between facilitators’ and students’ perception of the problems associated with resource allocation and organization of programmes. It was therefore, recommended among others that adequate funds should be made available by the government, the institution should make course materials and computer-based media available at all study centres for students’ use. Also, uninterrupted academic calendar of the university must be ensured while internet services should be provided at all study centres
Academic Staff Retention as a Tool for Goal Achievement in Nigerian Private Universities.
(Journal of Arts and Social Sciences Education, 2019) Abdulkareem, Y. A., Mustapha, A. I., Yusuf, S., & Yusuf, A. A. (2019)
It is often said that availability of staffis key to ensure successful implementation of organization goals and objectives. Sadly, the issue of brain drain has become a common phenomenon and is no longer news in Nigerian universities most especially in private universities. In view of the foregoing, this paper examined academic staff retention as a tool for goal achievement in private Universities. The concepts of academic staff retention, retention strategies and university goal achievement were examined. Besides, overview of private universities in Nigeria as well as academic staff retention strategies and goal achievement in the institutions were carefully examined. Also, it was discovered through the reviewed that ineffectiveness of private Universities in retaining quality academics continue to be crucial to the changing prospects and potential of knowledge formation and learning. The paper concluded that effective retention of proven and competent academics in private Universities is highly essential for achieving the stated goals. It was suggested that compensation package of academic staff in private Universities should be enhanced and made relevant to prevailing economic circumstances by reviewing them periodically. Additionally, academic staff development programmes should be accorded priority to ensure the retention of competent and dedicated academics. Finally, prominence should be given to stimulating work environment to boost lecturers’ morale thereby facilitating the attainment of university goal, while promotion prospect should be improved in order to enhance lecturers’ sense of advancement.

African culture and performance in transition: Evolution of Yoruba cultural elements from stage to film.
(Dept. of Performing Arts, University of Ilorin, Nigeria and Dept. of Theatre and Film Studies, University of Cape Coast, Ghana, 2019) Joe Odedina
There has been notable transformation in the style of play production, be it stage, video or film in Nigeria theatrical enactment. This, we observe, is hinged on sustenance of culture for a revival of the aesthetic taste in play production. It is in this direction that this study is intended to probe. The study examines the change in the use of some Yoruba elements employed in stage plays and home video production. We interrogate this work using Arnold Gesell’s theory of Maturation, 1925. To examine this work, we adopted a descriptive method of analysis, using the participant observer of some stage plays and some Yoruba home video films. By this method, we intend to narrate some scenes from a few Yoruba stage plays we had participated as observers and some video films we have viewed. Some of these motifs include Yoruba language, dance, music, costumes, oriki and even means of obeisance. Yoruba drama was made popular by Hubert Ogunde, Duro Ladipo and Kola Ogunmola around Nigerian independence of 1960. All the above three dramatists evolved from Christian church choir performance to professional stage drama and in the process, contributing to the development of contemporary Yoruba drama. Since their time, the cultural elements introduced by these early Yoruba dramatist pioneers, have gone through changes in order to adapt to the latest medium of video production. Our findings are that some elements have been compatible, while others have been distorted from stage to video. We also found other elements ineffective when incorporated into video production, yet others got elevated. We conclude that the evolution of some Yoruba cultural elements from the Yoruba stage drama to video production has enable many of these elements to be relevant to today’s audience. This has made Yoruba drama to be continuously popular, thereby sustaining the producers of such work. We recommend that various institutions of higher learning should incorporate video production with theatrical performance in order to help their students adjust to the latest means of drama production when they leave these institutions.

ANALYSIS OF FACTORS AFFECTING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DISTANCE LEARNING MODE IN THE PREPARATION OF TEACHERS IN COLLEGES OF EDUCATION, NIGERIA
(Journal of Interdisciplinary Research (ISSN: 2408-1906), 2017-03-04) SABA, T.M; MAMMAN, J. S.; NWABUFO, B.N
Distance learning education has been considered as a viable tool which not only helps in solving the problem of shortage of teachers but also the high attrition rates that is often associated with study leave. It was believed that distance education has the capacity to prepare qualified teachers just as the face-to-face education mode. However, there seem to be gaps between the objectives establishing distance education and their realization. The obvious indicators to this fact are the unqualified teachers who cannot express themselves in the classroom. The study explored the factors affecting the effectiveness of distance learning mode in the preparation of teachers in Colleges of Education, Nigeria. The researcher constructed 30 questionnaire items from the literatures relevant to the study. The questionnaire yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.83. A total of 151 questionnaires were administered on 38 and 113 lecturers and students of College of Education, Minna and Mokwa study centers. All the questionnaires were completed and retrieved. The study revealed that all the constructs constituted factors affecting the effectiveness of distance learning mode of education in the preparation of teachers in Colleges of Education in Nigeria. It was concluded that the nation will continue to be in dire need of adequate qualified teachers if the factors affecting the effectiveness of the programme are not eliminated. It was recommended among others that institutions establishing distance learning programmes should ensure that the needed facilities for the effective running of the programme are properly put in place. Facilities such as; technologies that will create interactive learning environment even at a distance.

DISPARITIES IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND HEALTH REMEDIAL AND STRATEGIC APPROACHES FROM SPORTS PSYCHOLOGIST
(2014) Prof. Ibrahim Laro ABUBAKAR
Disparities in physical activity and health desire is relatively not new. However, attention is driven towards the symbiotic relationship that exist between performance of physical activities and its resultant positive effect on the health of the performer. On the other hand, body inactivity as a result of non challant attitude, nature of job, influence of others and etc has negative resultant effects on people that live a sedentary life. This topic therefore sought to appreciate the differences in the incidence, prevalence, burden of disease and other adverse health condition that exist among specific population so as to be able to determine the relationship or otherwise between physical activities performance and its feature or negative effects on the health of an individual. It is after this determinant that appropriate strategies and remedial approaches towards limiting and eradicating prevalence of disparities in physical activity and health were proffered

Effects of aero-engine degradation on specific fuel consumption at varying ambient and turbine inlet temperatures.
(FETiCON, 2023-08-04) I. O. OTAIKU
The paper presents the effects of aero-engine degradation on specific fuel consumption (SFC) at varying ambient temperature (ABT) and turbine inlet temperature (TIT). The ABT and TIT were varied using analytically developed equations. The SFC, ABT and TIT were modelled to determine the performance of the engine at each instance. A 4- stage compressor and a single stage turbine were investigated for 0 to 10% area reduction of the blades. Increase in degradation and margin to permanent failure were examined. The ranges of ABT and TIT considered were 295 to 325 K and 1083-1245 K respectively. SFC against ABT, TIT, mass flow rate and net power produced at each level of blade degradation were plotted. Results showed that for undegraded compressor blades, the changes in the ABT did not have significant effect on the compressor’s exit temperature. However, at 8% blade degradation, the effect was noticeable and became risky at 10% where the exit temperature seemed to be increasing beyond tolerable temperature of the material. It was also observed that SFC increased with increasing TIT. The results predict that margin to permanent failure of the engine would occur at 10% compressor’s blade degradation when the SFC would have risen to 0.5 kg/kWh, ABT (315 K), TIT (1100 K) and fuel flow rate at 0.4 kg/s. In conclusion, to prevent complete engine-out, the revolution per minute of the engine at these conditions should be reduced to 80% and landing procedures initiated. KEYWORDS: Specific fuel consumption (SFC), ambient temperature (ABT), turbine inlet temperature (TIT) and surface area degradation.
