 Abstract

Why Are We So Blest? explores the hard realities of the continent by means of a communal voice. It is a fictional representation of the conflicts and contradictions that define African situation providing an opportunity to study a confrontation between European and African patterns of thought. The confrontation is apparent in the initial confusion and disillusionment, followed by fragmentation, disintegration, with final emphasis on the consolidation of African identity. It is an attempt to probe the complex relation of colonizer and colonized; a relation which is seen as historically past but psychologically present in the Africans.

 Abstract

This paper tries to identify the challenges that create obstacles of implementing Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) at the level of secondary schools in the southern region of Bangladesh. Data is collected from fifteen English teachers of secondary level in southern region of Bangladesh. This article demands the research technique- questionnaire and interviews. This article initiates with the short introduction of CLT, tracked by its problem statement, objectives and research questions. Then literature review is delineated with the help of writings of different scholars. It also discusses some principles of CLT and the roles of instructors and students as well as explores the challenges for the application of CLT associating with the short indication of exam and educational system of Bangladesh. Quantitative data analysis has also been shown in this study to realize the exact condition of Communicative Language Teaching in the study area. The findings point out some encounters- bizarrely large class size, culture, insufficient of trained teachers and modern teaching aids, low salary of instructors, formal relationship between teachers and students, educator�s inability to speak English for a long time in the classroom, imbalance between curriculum and assessment and grammar-based exam. It also focuses on the recommendations and implications for further research to eradicate the challenges. This investigation may offer suggestions for the experts and the language policy makers to upgrade CLT practices.

 Abstract

Several techniques are available for the detection of a landmine in a diversity of environments. Various present landmine detection technologies are Remote sensing technology, ground penetrating radar (GPR), nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR), Electromagnetic induction (EMI), Ultrasound, Explosive vapor detection (EVD) and Infrared detectors (IR). A self-governing robotic system in a minefield is a popular method as it decreases the hazards in manual detection. For the detection of landmines using robots the components consist of a control unit that contains a controller or processor and various sensors. Such robots can be used at Warfield for the detection of landmines and also for surveillance purposes at the border areas. This paper gives you a review of landmine detection using an unmanned robotic vehicle. The purpose is to give a summary of the landmine detection techniques by using robots that are capable of exploring and detecting semi-buried as well as buried landmines and mark their location.

This study compared administrators� fund management strategies in public and private secondary schools in Anambra State. Four research questions and four null hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population for the study constituted a total of 775 administrators which consisted of 258 state public secondary school administrators and 517 administrators for the private secondary schools in the six education zones in Anambra State. Sample for this study constituted 181 public secondary school principals and 362 private secondary school principals determined through the proportionate stratified sampling technique. A questionnaire titled �School Administrators� Fund Management Strategies Questionnaire (SAFMSQ)� were used for data collection. The instrument was validated by three experts and reliability of the questionnaire determined through Cronbach Alpha method. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. The hypotheses were tested at an alpha (?) level of 0.05 significance using t-test statistics. Findings of the study indicated among others; that administrators of the private secondary schools employed more fund management strategies in the areas of their financial budgeting strategies, fund allocation strategies and auditing strategies than administrators of the public secondary schools. However, there were significant differences in the aspect of administrators� fund management strategies between the public and private secondary schools in Anambra State in the aforementioned strategies. Based on the findings, recommendations were proffered, among them include that: the administrators of public and private secondary schools should expand their financial budgeting strategies through effective planning for appropriate fund management.

 Abstract

There has been an emerging trend of an enormous number of chat applications which are present within the recent years to help people to connect across different mediums, like Hike, Whats App, Telegram, etc. The proposed network-based android chat application used for chatting purposes with remote clients or users connected to the online , and it will not let the user send inappropriate messages. This paper proposes the mechanism of creating knowledgeable chat application which can not permit the user to send inappropriate or improper messages to the participants by incorporating the bottom level implementation of natural language processing (NLP). Before sending the messages to the user, the typed message evaluated to hunt out any inappropriate terms within the message which may include vulgar words, etc., using natural language processing. The user can build their own dictionary which contains vulgar or irrelevant terms. After pre-processing steps of removal of punctuations, numbers, conversion of text to lower case and NLP concepts of removing stop words, stemming, tokenization, named entity recognition and parts of speech tagging, it gives keywords from the user typed message. These derived keywords compared with the terms within the dictionary and database and therefore the respective response are replied.
