Awareness and usage of electronic information resources among postgraduate students of library and information science in Southern Nigeria
(Libraries at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 2016-05-09) Akpojotor, Lucky Oji
The study aims at investigating the awareness and usage of electronic information resources among postgraduate students of library and information science in Southern Nigeria. The descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The census sampling technique was adopted for this study. Thus, the entire population of three hundred and seventy-five (375) postgraduate students of library and information science in Southern Nigeria were used as the sample for this study. The questionnaire tagged: Awareness and Usage of Electronic Information Resources by Postgraduate Students of Library and Information Science Questionnaire AUEIRPSLISQ) was used as instrument for data collection. Four research questions were answered and two null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The simple percent statistical tool was used to answer the research questions and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMCC) for testing the hypotheses. The results obtained revealed that postgraduate students of library and information science are quite aware and highly use electronic information resources. The study also reported that postgraduate LIS students are skilled in the use of electronic information resources. Based on the findings the study concluded that electronic information resources are essential tools for empowering postgraduate students of library and information science in Southern Nigeria.
Research Management and Accessibility in Academic Libraries through Interoperability of Repositories
(Colleagues of Researchers, Educators & Writers, 2015-04) Urhefe, Enite Anita; Ebiye, Edonkumoh V.
Academic libraries are working in new areas to support the publishing activities of their institution's faculty members, including helping them to manage and archive research data that they produce. Many institutions have multiple locations in which faculty can deposit their data and this distributed arrangement presents challenges for searching, unifying collections, and archiving. In order to foster some interoperability between these multiple data repositories, university libraries need to develop a system that brings together such multiple systems to enable the harvesting and replication of metadata and content across the systems. This paper focuses on present initiatives of interoperability and the benefits of enhancing interoperability among the different systems in institutional repositories.
Volumetric characteristics and mineralogy of Ogwashi Asaba Formation, Niger Delta Basin Nigeria
(European Centre for Research Training and Development UK, 2026-09-15) Obiakonwa, I.E.; Odumoso, S.E.; Osisanya, O.W.; Saleh, A.S.; Ogheneochuko, E.R.
The aim of this study is to examine the Ogwashi-Asaba Formation 's mineralogv and volumetric
characteristics. During the fieldwork, a variety of well-preserved geological samples were collected from several locations within 'he research region. Standard laboratory and analytical procedures were used to the gathered samples. The sediments are mediunl to coarse grained, poorly sorted, almost symmetrical in terms of skewness, and leptokurtic in terms of kurtosis, according to the results of the various analyses.These characteristics typically indicate sediments from continental and/or mixed environments (transitional). Additionally, the petrographic examination reveals quart: to be the predominant mineral, making up over 85% of the entire mineralogy, suggesting a basement rock as the source. Other heavy minerals were also found, including sillimanite, zircon, and tourmaline. Overall, the study sheds more light on the lithologv, different minerals, and depositional environment Additionally, the study will help with the development and exploitation of natural resources, especially possible hydrocarbon deposits, and advance knowledge of the geologv of the Niger Della Basin.
Effectiveness and Risk Assessment of Bio Sand Filters (BSF) technique in Rural Water Purification
(Chemistry Research Journal, 2020) Doris Fovwe Ogeleka; Mildred Chukwuedum Emegha
Every human deserves the right to consume safe water as it is the basic necessity for their existence and
sustenance. The study was aimed with the view of ascertaining the effectiveness of carbon and gravel-based bios and filters in treating rural waters and evaluating the risk of consumption using the water consumption risk assessment matrix (W-CRAM). The treatment using the carbon-based biosand filter (BSF) at Falcorp Mangrove Park increased the pH from 5.46 ± 0.05 to 7.5±0.3while gravel-based biosand filter at Otsoron community increased minimally from 4.43 ± 0.2 to 5.86 ± 0.4. For all the locations, there was 100% eradication of E. coli. Using the W-CRAM, the untreated waters had a 62% - 69% conformance and was rated medium risk and since it will affect people (P), the risk level could be classified as 3 E or 15 (P). However, after treatment, there was an increase between 77% and 100% conformance, with above 80% classified as excellent water quality with low risk rated as 1E or 5 (P). The study concluded that no water should be consumed if the non-conformance was contributed by microbial entities as severe health risk may set in.
The effects of the Niger Delta oil crisis on women folks
(Academic Journals, 2014-01) OGELEKA, Doris Fovwe; IHAYERE, Celestina; ATAINE, Theresa Ifeyinwa
The Niger Delta area is one of the locations that is seriously affected by oil spill in Nigeria’s fifty one years of oil exploration. This study was designed to investigate the effects of the Niger Delta oil crisis on the women folks. Oil crisis could result in vast effects on humans and animals which include social, ecological, health, economical amongst others. The environment (air, water, soil) usually indicates the
presence of hydrocarbon and petrogenic pollution and this affects aquatic lives and agricultural practices. These result in decrease in fishing resources, damage to marine flora and fauna, loss of biodiversity, deforestation, coastal and marine erosion and flooding. The inability of the people to fix these problems and the supposedly government insensitivity had been the cause of persistent conflicts
and confrontation with government and oil companies in the area. Women suffer great hardships in times of conflict and the Niger Delta women are no exception. During the conflicts with oil companies and the Nigerian government, women are subjected to all kinds of violence - sexual such as rape; physical violence such as beatings, maiming murder, and destruction of properties. The effects of these
conflicts on the social wellbeing of the women folks in this area were assessed in this study.
