An ex-post facto research design was employed to determine the composite and relative correlation between financial well-being of poor salary demoralized private and public sector graduate employees in South – South Nigeria and the sale, or distribution of Asian and U.S.A. brand of food supplements. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 361 University, College of Agriculture, College of Education, Polytechnic and Theological Seminary graduate employees. These, for each of these institutions, were in the category of the unemployed, self employed, private sector employed, and government employed. The causal models were tested through data collected through five instruments: Entrepreneurship Characteristics Self Rating Questionnaire (ECSRQ); the Common Business Practice Questionnaire (CBPQ); the Personality Trait Job Creation Questionnaire (PTJCQ); the Gender Role stereotype Job Creation Questionnaire (GRJCQ); and the Curriculum Outcome Work Behaviour Inventory (COWBI).

Leachate is the aqueous effluent generated as a consequence of rainwater percolation through wastes and the inherent water content of wastes themselves. Its quality is the result of biological, chemical and physical processes in landfills combined with the specific waste composition and the landfill water regime. In Khulna city, municipal solid waste is dumped in the Rajbandh landfill site where large amount of leachate is produced every day. This leachate is pretreated by anaerobic process in a pond and pumped out to the surface water from three wells. This pretreated leachate has great impact on surrounding surface water and environment. The aims of this study are to asses and evaluate the environmental impact of the pretreated leachate. In order to do this, some parameters including pH, BOD, COD, Iron content, Alkalinity, TC etc. of the collected leachate and surface water are determined. Obtained values of the parameters are compared with the standard value. Amount of green house gas emission and their effects on human health are also determined and reviewed. Therefore, this paper provides insight regarding how the leachate puts impact to the environment.

It begins with question of what it means to be a musician in Mexican society. The research method used is to review literature in the cultural and labor field. The main conclusion is that the Archdiocese of Guadalajara as a company invests in training human resources for the performance of sacred music and where the labor market for musicians has the behavior of an internal labor market.

In this paper, we present in-depth analysis of the classical double inverted pendulum (DIP) system using the DIP modeling and the pole placement approach to control it. The double inverted pendulum system has the characteristics of multiple variables, non-linear, absolute instability; it can reflect many key issues in the progress of control, such as stabilization, non-linear and robust problems etc. DIP model is a simplified model of the anterior-posterior motion of a standing human. DIP has four equilibrium points (Down-Down, Down-Up, Up-Down, Up-Up). The objective of this paper is to keep the double pendulum in an Up-Up unstable equilibrium point. Modeling is based on the Euler-Lagrange equations, and the resulted non-linear model is linearized around Up-Up position. The built of mathematical model of double inverted pendulum plays a guiding role on the stability of the system. The eigen-values of the system which are the poles of the system have enormous influenced on stability and system response. Pole placement is the control method which places the poles at the desired position to control the system by calculating gain matrix of the system. In this paper, the performance of the pole placement method is analyzed by MATLAB to control the double inverted pendulum.

Issues: In many countries with high HIV/AIDS prevalence rates, large numbers of students, lecturers, administrators and other educational employees are becoming infected, with substantial impacts on the supply and quality of education providing access to HIV/AIDs prevention information and care is an important way of safeguarding Nigeria’s investment in higher education. Description: Since 2011, a Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Prevention Program (CHAPP) with funding from USAID is being implemented, including prevention activities, HIV/AIDs counseling and testing (HCT), antiretroviral (ARVs) and psychosocial support for students, lecturers and other educational employees in three tertiary institutions in Ekiti State Nigeria. The unique feature of this program is the recognition that tertiary institutions do not always represent safe environments particularly for women and girls. Hence, gender is a critical factor with female students/staff participating in all the program aspects. A baseline survey related to prevention and understanding Sexually Transmitted Diseases including HIV/AIDS and mobilization of stakeholders was carried out for better planning, implementation, institutional ownership, monitoring and evaluation. Lessons Learned: Participation of staff and students is crucial in achieving the stated objectives of CHAPP as demonstrated during the Peer Education Training and a high turnout of staff during the mobilization of stakeholders. As a result of these, a partnership was formed between institutional structures which encourage periodic assessment. Recommendation: Institutional leadership commitment, tertiary institutions HIV/AIDS policy, and developing a gender perspective that recognizes the greater vulnerability of women is highly recommend since they have crucial role to play in addressing the whole range of political, social, economic, legal and management implications of HIV/AIDs in higher education

A company wishing to operate successfully and maintain competitive advantage in the changing environment needs to be strategically oriented. That indicates that it has to transform strategy into measurable goals and adjust organizational structure to processes and strategy and not vice versa, perceive strategy as a continuous process, constantly inform all employees on all levels and manage changes with active leadership. The significance of intangible assets as described in this article is undoubtedly increasing. The introduction of a balanced system of indicators into the business practice of the majority of companies generates a possibility for innovative renewal of business processes which can be carried out with the help of cognitions of the Dialectical Systems Theory on systems thinking/behavior. All innovations of non-technical type, particularly innovations of values, culture, ethics and norms, play an important role.

Electromagnetic (EM) profiling and VES are the two complementary and widely used geophysical methods in the delineation of basement regolith and location of fissured media and associated zones of deep weathering in crystalline terrains. In many instance, reconnaissance EM surveys are used to locate aquiferous zones such as fractures, faults and joints while Vertical Electrical Sounding on the other hand provides information on the vertical variation in electrical resistivity with depth. It is commonly used to assess the reliability of the fractures delineated from EM survey (Ariyo, et al, 2008, Olayinka et al, 2004).

Adequately managing credit risk in financial institutions is critical for the survival and growth of the Financial Institutions. The study aimed at assessing the efficacy of credit risk management on banks performance. Also to determine if credit risk have effect on the profitability and examining the relationship between interest income and bad debt of the Union Bank. Secondary sources of data were used for the study. Time series and trend analysis are used for the analysis. Correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used in testing the hypotheses. The study conclude that credit risk affect the performance of Union Bank PLC and that to maintain high interest income, attention needs to be given to credit risk management especially regarding the lending philosophy of Union Bank. The study recommends that union bank PLC should ensure that loans given out to customers should be adequately reviewed from time to time to assess the level of its risk such loan should be backed by collateral security.

Local government is faced with varieties of difficulties to source adequate revenue from federal government, state government and internally generated revenue; such problems are cogwheel to the smooth running of local government administration. Thus, the objective of the research was to analyze the extent to which revenue generation had affected the development of the selected local Governments. The researcher used both primary and secondary methods of data collection to generate the needed data. The data obtained through secondary data were analyzed using simple least square regression method (spss version17). The following were some of the findings which included the following; there is a significant relationship between revenue generated and developmental effort of government, poor development of the areas, lack of basic social amenities to the rural people and lack of revenue to maintain the existing infrastructures. The researcher therefore recommended that the local government should provide basic amenities of high quality. By doing so, the people’s interest would be geared towards giving their maximum support to the local government which would lead to the development of the rural area?

In the present paper we study the integrals involving generalized polynomials (multivariable) and the - function. The - function was proposed by Inayat-Hussain which contain a certain class of Feynman integrals, the exact partition function of the Gaussian model in statistical mechanics and several other functions as its particular cases. Our integrals are unified in nature and act as key formulae from which we can derive as particular cases, integrals involving a large number of simpler special functions and polynomials. For the sake of illustration, we give here some particular cases of our main integral which are also new and of interest by themselves. At the end, we give applications of our main findings by interconnecting them with the Riemann–Liouville type of fractional integral operator. The results obtained by us are basic in nature and are likely to find useful applications in several fields notably electricals networks, probability theory and statistical mechanics.
