(iSTEAMS, 2022-06-14) Babatunde, A.N., Oke, A.A., Balogun, B.F., AbdulRahman, T.A. & Ogundokun, R.O.
Two Artificial Intelligence software systems, Bot and Chatbot have recently debuted on the internet. This initiate a communication between the user and a virtual agent. The modeling and performance in deep learning (DL) computation for an Assistant Conversational Agent are presented in this research (Chatbot). The deep neural network (DNN) technique is used to respond to a large number of tokens in an input sentence with more appropriate dialogue. The model was created to do Yoruba-to-Yoruba translations. The major goal of this project is to improve the model's perplexity and learning rate, as well as to find a blue score for translation in the same language. Kares is used to run the experiments, which is written in Python. The data was trained using a deep learning-based algorithm. With the use of training examples, a collection of Yoruba phrases with various intentions was produced. The results demonstrate that the system can communicate in basic Yoruba terms and that it would be able to learn simple Yoruba words. The study result when evaluated showed that the system had 80% accuracy rate. Keywords: Chatbot, Natural Language Processing, Deep Learning, Artificial Neural Network, Yoruba Language
A New Hash Function Based on Chaotic Maps and Deterministic Finite State Automata
(IEEE, 2020-06-16) Moatsum Alawida; Je Sen Teh; Damilare Peter Oyinloye; Musheer Ahmad; Rami S Alkhawaldeh
In this paper, a new chaos-based hash function is proposed based on a recently proposed structure known as the deterministic chaotic finite state automata (DCFSA). Out of its various configurations, we select the forward and parameter permutation variant, DCFSAFWP due to its desirable chaotic properties. These properties are analogous to hash function requirements such as diffusion, confusion and collision resistance. The proposed hash function consists of six machine states and three simple chaotic maps. This particular structure of DCFSA can process larger message blocks (leading to higher hashing rates) and optimizes its randomness. The proposed hash function is analyzed in terms of various security aspects and compared with other recently proposed chaos-based hash functions to demonstrate its efficiency and reliability. Results indicate that the proposed hash function has desirable statistical characteristics, elevated randomness, optimal diffusion and confusion properties as well as flexibility.
A review of the role interpersonal communication in leadership influence: A Public Relations model
(Lampstand Publishing, Lagos, 2019-01) Umeaku, Perpetua Chinonye
Interpersonal communication and leadership are inter-related concepts that occur among individuals, groups and organisations. In fact, interpersonal communication fosters positive relationships that help leaders make positive influence in their dealings with the led. The task for leaders in our world today is the ability to create an atmosphere that encourages collaboration, cooperation and co- creation. It is true that relationship building, mutual respect and understanding are achieved through communication; the absence of which often results in dissatisfaction, distrust, hostility and poor morale. It is against this backdrop that this paper examines the important role of Public Relations in leadership function, emphasising the need to employ the Frank Jefkin’s Transfer Process of Public Relations. In doing this, organisational leaders will succeed in creating an enabling environment for organisations to thrive through systematic and planned communication efforts. This therefore, will ensure valued communication in effort at influencing the various publics of the organisation.

(KWASU PRESS AND PUBLISHING, 2021-04-01) Oke Afeez Adeshina, Akinbowale Nathaniel Babatunde, Oloyede Abdulkarim Ayopo, Kazeem Alagbe Gbolagade
In recent times, the advances in internet technology and the rise of network traffic, owing to relentless creation of rigorous and mission-critical applications, has been giving serious attention to resilient routing in Software Defined Network (SDN). The evolution has made it possible for extensive use of SDN to respond to the current requirements of modern networking. Residue Number System (RNS) been used to minimize latency in routing tables for Openflow protocol. However, majority of network elements remain vulnerable to failures, especially transmission devices and links. It has been shown that proactive approaches to link recovery in RNS based SDN can select alternate path during link failures, however, the challenges of fast failure recovery still exist with large data path labels for both primary and alternate routes. Furthermore, the problem of early backup path failure before primary path still remains a challenge. The paper presents an approach that is intended to improve SDN routing and reduces the computational in RNS based SDN. The proposed scheme utilizes the shortest path re-route algorithm and a reactive mechanism to respond to link failure when it occurs. The proposed scheme which will be implemented as a prototype using the mininet emulator and floodlight controller is intended to effectively route packets especially when there are link failures for RNS based SDN. Keywords: Residue Number System (RNS); Software Defined Network (SDN); resilience; OpenFlow; traffic engineering; controller

(Universitas Airlangga Surabaya, Indonesia, 2021) Adeyemi, Ismail Olatunji; Temim, Fatima Modupe; Uzamot, Waliyah Omotayo
Background of the study: It has been observed that there is knowledge gap on how librarians’ affectivity and social adjustment predict user relation. Moreover, it has been shown overtime that human’s behavioural qualities may have a possible effect on interaction with people. All of these concerns necessitate this study. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between affectivity, social adjustment and Nigerian librarians’ user relation. Method: The authors adopt correlational research design and web-based questionnaire was used to collect data for the study. Purposive sampling technique was adopted for the study. The total response rate was 178. Findings: It was found in the study that negative affectivity such as threat and hostility have poor effect on user relation. Contrastingly, it was revealed that positive affectivity such as subjective well-being and happiness ensure optimal library user relation. It was revealed that Nigerian librarians see opportunities in user relation, which can be used to improve the library image and effective service inside. Conclusion: It was established that affectivity has statistically significant relationship with user relation. Also, it was shown that social adjustment has statistical significant relationship with user relation.
An Empirical Study on the Traits of Information Literacy Level among Senior Secondary Students in Ilorin, Nigeria
(The University Libraries of the University of Nebraska--Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA, 2017) Adeyemi, Ismail Olatunji
This study examined the information literacy level among secondary school students in Ilorin. This study adopted the disproportionate stratified random sampling techniques. The total population for this study 1958 students. The data for the study was collected through structured questionnaires which were distributed randomly to 210 students. However, only 192 copies of the questionnaire were properly filled and returned for analysis and thus form the basis as sample for this study (N=192). The findings of the study revealed that more than half of the respondents can identify lack of knowledge in a subject area. The study also revealed that majority of the respondents can articulate current knowledge on a topic. Furthermore, it also revealed that a large number of the respondents cannot identify specialist search tools. Also, from the study, it was revealed that noteworthy numbers of the respondents do not use Boolean operators in their search for information. Conclusively, the study shows that information literacy skills are essential for every human being because information is vital to everyone and every walk of life. It was recommended that policy makers in education sector should try and introduce information literacy skills as a subject in the secondary school curriculum so as to ensure that the students have the necessary information literacy skills rather than developing these skills through self-education. It was also recommended that teachers that have skills in information literacy skills should be employed as the facilitators in this subject.
An Enhanced Differential Homomorphic Model using N-Prime Scheme for Privacy Preservation
(Faculty of Engineering, Federal University Oye-Ekiti, 2023-03-01) Hafiz O. Sanni, Rafiu M. Isiaka, Akinbowale N. Babatunde and Muhammed K. Jimoh
In preserving individual privacy in data publishing, several efforts have been made by scholars globally to develop an individual privacy-preserving model and hybridized models which harness the strength of the individual model to increase privacy preservation in data Publishing (PPDP). The Differential homomorphic model (DHM) was among the hybridized models developed that combine differential and homomorphic models. Though is one of the state-of-the-art hybridization methods for privacy preservation because of the Differential model and Homomorphic model strengths of the two hybridized models which are the ability to prevent composition problems and database attacks respectively. However, applying this model is challenging because of the high computational complexities due to the modular exponentiation problem available in the pailler encryption scheme used in DHM. In this research, an N-PRIME homomorphic encryption scheme was proposed to replace the Pailler encryption scheme in the differential homomorphic model (DHM). The designed model was 51% faster than the existing model (Differential Homomorphic Model) in terms of computation time and 48.5% faster when generating the graphical data set, though the designed model consumed 4% more storage space than the existing model. Keywords- Homomorphic, Differential, Privacy Preservation, Database Security, N-prime, Hybridized Model, Database Attack.
An Improved Image Scrambling Algorithm Using {2 n -1, 2 n , 2 n +1}
(University of the West of Scotland, School of Computing, 2018-10-01) Damilare Peter Oyinloye; Kazeem Alagbe Gbolagade
Traditional iris segmentation methods and strategies regularly contain an exhaustive search of a large parameter space, which is sensitive to noise, time-consuming and no longer secured enough. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a secured iris template. This paper proposes a technique to secure the iris template using steganography. The experimental analysis was carried out on matrix laboratory (MATLABR2015A) environment. The segmented iris region was normalized to decrease the dimensional inconsistencies between iris region areas with the aid of the usage of Hough transform (HT). The features of the iris were encoded by convolving the normalized iris region with 1D Log- Gabor filters in order to generate a bit-wise biometric template. Then, least significant bit (LSB) was used to secure the iris template. The Hamming distance was chosen as a matching metric, which gives the measure of how many bits disagreed between the templates of the iris. The system operated at a very good training time and high level of conditional testing signifying high optimization with recognition accuracy of 92% and error of 1.7%. The proposed system is reliable, secure and efficient with the computational complexity significantly reduced. The proposed technique provides an efficient approach for securing the iris template.

(2019) Mohammed Lawal Akanbi; Dorcas Odunayo Ogunleye; Kabir Alabi Sulaiman
Background of the study: This study examined the Application of ICT in Dissemination of Information in Selected Special Libraries in Ilorin Metropolis, Kwara State, Nigeria. Three Special libraries from the metropolis of the state comprised the sample population of the study; Central Bank of Nigeria Library, Michael Imoudu Institute of Labor Studies Library and Ghalib Chamber Library. Purpose: The study employed a survey research design using the Enumeration sampling technique. A questionnaire was used to obtain data from the respondents. The population of the study consisted of twenty-one (21) respondents which comprised of library professionals and library assistants. The usage of Email to render CAS is not a norm in these special libraries. Method: Data collected from the field were analyzed using descriptive method of analysis. Findings: Apart from CAS, it was found that selective dissemination of information (SDI) is not done with the aid of technological tools in these Libraries and these libraries rarely make use of OPAC to provide easy access to their resources, efficiency and effectiveness of ICT in the dissemination of information were not realized because of the low usage of ICT to drive operations in the library. The study recommended that there should be a standard alternative source of power for proper Usage of ICT facilities and management of special libraries should help their users in subscribed for a database that would assist them in having access to robust information. Conclusion: The study concluded that ICT facilities are put in place in the selected special libraries are not adequate and are as well not fully utilized. It was gathered that the usage of ICT facilities to render services like current awareness services (CAS) is not up to expectation.
Application of Residue Number Systems in Enhancing the Transmission of Secured Videos
(National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest, 2021-12-01) Akinbowale Nathaniel BABATUNDE and Abdulkarim Ayopo OLOYEDE
Full video Encryption has been established as the most suitable technique to guarantee the security of digital video data during transmission but cannot be widely adopted because of its large disk space and long processing time. Therefore, this paper aims at reducing the computational space complexity using Residue Number System (RNS). MPEG IV algorithm and encryption of pixel values using the traditional RNS moduli set were employed for the encryption while a modified reverse converter was used for decryption. JAVA was used for the implementation while an evaluation was performed to compare the disk size of the cipher and deciphered videos. The scheme outperformed the existing evaluated cryptosystems in terms of cipher size and the decrypted videos increased by 49% when compared with the original video. The space computational complexity problem in full video encryption was adequately reduced using RNS. It is recommended that RNS should be used for securing video transmission and storage.

(The Research Publication, 2020) Adetoun Omolola Idowu; Kennedy Arebamen Eiriemiokhale
The introduction of databases by university libraries has presented lecturers with opportunities of obtaining accurate, timely and up-to-date information with little effort. However, research reports have revealed that there is low level of awareness of electronic databases by university lecturers. Hence this study investigated availability and awareness of electronic databases for teaching and research by lecturers in public universities in South-west, Nigeria. The objectives of the study were to: ( I ) identify the types of databases available to lecturers in public universities in South-west, Nigeria; and (ii) examine the extent of awareness of available databases for teaching and research by university lecturers in South-west, Nigeria. The study adopted the descriptive research design of a correlational type. The population comprised 10,452 lecturers in fifteen public universities in South-west, Nigeria from which a sample size of 836 was drawn using a multi stage sampling procedure. Questionnaire was used as instrument for data collection. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics at 0.05 level of significance. Findings of the study revealed that numerous electronic databases were available in public university libraries in South-west, Nigeria and that university lecturers’ level of awareness of most of the electronic databases for teaching and research was above average (60.6%) as against below average reported in the literature. It can be concluded from the study that the university libraries in South-west, Nigeria are not creating much awareness of their electronic databases. It is therefore recommended that university libraries, especially in South west, Nigeria should intensify their promotional activities geared towards marketing their electronic databases.

(University Libraries of the University of Nebraska--Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA., 2017-09-26) Kennedy Arebamen Eiriemiokhale CLN; Moses Oladele Ibeun PhD
This study investigated the awareness, availability and accessibility of library resources by students of Kwara State University, Malete. The descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study and 210 undergraduate students provided the data. The findings of the study revealed that information resources were available and accessible in Kwara State University Library. The study showed that students do not know the usefulness of some of the resources and this has hampered their desire for them. Also there is a dire need of varieties of information repackaging to enhance awareness, availability and accessibility of resources in the library. Also revealed is the unfriendliness of some library staff, unclassified nature of some of the information resources. Lack of in-depth orientation on library usage with respect to the use of catalogue and the library online services were the main problems militating against accessing information resources. Therefore, library orientation should be more than mere library tour rather it should be practical in nature where students are exposed to library usage with regard to the use of the catalogue/OPAC and online resources. Current and up-to-date information resources should be made available and accessible to all students through services provided by the library staff.
AWARENESS, KNOWLEDGE AND USE OF ALTMETRICS AS MEASURE OF RESEARCH IMP MEASURE OF RESEARCH IMPACT: NIGERI T: NIGERIAN LIBRARI AN LIBRARIANS’ PERSPECTIVES
(The University Libraries of the University of Nebraska--Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA, 2022) Adeyemi, Ismail Olatunji
Over time, there has been the alternative metrics complementing the traditional citation counts in scientometrics. The awareness, knowledge and use of these altmetrics tools in measuring research impact are unknown among Nigerian librarians. Hence, this study examined the awareness, knowledge and use of altmetrics as measure of research impact by Nigerian librarians. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study and total population sampling technique was adopted. Web-based questionnaire was used to collect data for the study. Two hundred and eighty-five responses were collected from the participants. The findings of the study show that most Nigerian librarians were not aware of altmetrics as non-traditional complement to traditional citation count. Results show that Nigerian librarians did not use altmetrics for measuring their research impact. It was shown that there was inadequate knowledge of altmetrics and it was unpopular among Nigerian librarians in measuring research impact. It was found that there was no statistically positive significant (r = .482**; P < .022) relationship between awareness and use of altmetrics to measure research impact by Nigerian librarians. Results show that there was no statistically positive significant (r = .374**; P < .039) relationship between librarians’ knowledge and use of altmetrics to measure research impact. It was concluded that that most Nigerian librarians use Twitter to seek altmetrics compared to other social media networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn which have very minimal usage.
