The study explored parents/community perception in relation to the administration of public secondary schools in Katsina State, Nigeria. The basic system theory designed by Bertalanffy (1968) was used to elicit information from the participants. The study employed a qualitative research methodology which involved collection of data through a semi-s

Antibacterial photodynamic therapy (PDT) has come to attract attention as an alternative therapy for drug-resistant bacteria. Recent reports revealed that antibacterial PDT induces innate immune response and stimulates abundant cytokine secretion as a part of inflammatory responses. However, the underlying mechanism how antibacterial PDT interacts

The convergence of the Internet and mobility is now the primary reason behind today’s digital inclusion. At the heart of this convergence is the rise of mobile applications (apps) which does not only define the dynamic of such convergence but also aim at increasing users’ personalised experiences. Naturally, the users’ need for such a customi

The fact that the amount of operational information —both structured and unstructured— that companies create and store are drastically increasing due to digitisation and mobility. Dark data management emerged as another challenge for corporate information governance. Under the increasing pressure from a new regulatory regime and consumer expect

Internet is the enabling infrastructure of today’s digital society, which sees blurring borders between countries, thus creates an ever dynamic and diverse global community. Just as we start to enjoy this innovative realm called cyberspace, we are confronted by a myriad of questions that challenge the more established values that we have had adop

The legal risks of “Big Data” are real and potentially damaging. The proliferation of data from ubiquitous sources accumulated with increasing economic values attached to those data is often not balanced with adequate awareness and a prudent risk management. The fact that the end-users are not equally vigilant makes it easier for criminal minds

Causation is an important concept in negligence law in which plaintiff would have to prove that the injury suffered by him was the factual and legal results of the defendant's breach of duty. Without successfully proving the effective and unbroken link of causation, claim of negligence will necessarily fail.NEGLIGENCE: CAUSATION & REMOTENES

Identity theft is one of the crimes that threaten both society and individuals. Millions of people have been badly affected by identity theft following misuse of their identities by criminals. The term ‘identity theft’ is used to include all illicit activities (gathering, utilising, buying selling, etc.) that target personal information (includ

Many hypes are currently surrounding the “datafication” such as the Big Data, Cloud and BYOD. The proliferation of data from ubiquitous sources is often not counter-balanced with adequate awareness and prudent risk management by the end-users, making it easier for others to take advantage of the new technology and reap from the abundant data av

This paper presents a robust control design for the class of underactuated uncertain nonlinear systems. Either the nonlinearmodel of the underactuated systems is transformed into an input output formand then an integral manifold is devised for the control design purpose or an integral manifold is defined directly for the concerned class.
