Bahadır Yılmaz, Yüksel Soykan — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0000

In this study, we define Gaussian generalized Guglielmo numbers in detail, and focus on four specific cases: Gaussian triangular numbers, Gaussian triangular-Lucas numbers, Gaussian oblong numbers, and Gaussian pentagonal numbers. In addition, we present some identities and matrices related to these sequences, as well as recurrence relations, Binet’s formulas, generating functions, Simpson’s formulas, and summation formulas.

The incidents of fire associated with Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) has been on a rampage, particularly since it has become a popular alternative to other energy sources. The study assessed the impact of level of awareness on attitude and practice of gas station workers on fire emergency. The Swiss cheese model was used to underpin the work. The study utilised a descriptive research design. The sample size was 60 managements and non-management staff from 5 LPG stations in Ikotun, Lagos. Data was collected by means of questionnaire. The data was analysed using descriptive statistics which is frequency and percentage; inferential statistics used includes Chi Square and Bivariate Correlation. The result revealed the following: There is no relationship between the level of awareness and the attitude of the gas stations’ workers on fire emergency; There is relationship between the level of awareness and the practice of the gas stations’ workers on fire emergency. The study recommended that management should spell out rules and policies to guide workers’ attitude and practice towards fire emergency and state punishment for gas workers whose practices are contrary to the policies of the organisation. Management should conduct regular fire emergency training to ensure increased awareness among staff.

This research examined students’ perceptions of education quality among middle and higher secondary schools in Bhutan. Student evaluation of education quality facilitates data-driven decision making in a number of ways. Based on a cross-sectional survey design, a one-time data was collected from 312 students studying in class 9 to class 12, using student evaluation of education quality (SEEQ), developed by Marsh. SEEQ measures students’ perception on learning, teacher’s enthusiasm in teaching, lesson organization, group interaction, individual rapport, breadth or coverage, examinations, assignments, and perceptions about teacher effectiveness. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. Results indicated that the participants had a favourable view of education quality, and that there were no significant differences when the data was disaggregated by gender, except for two sub-scales group interaction and individual rapport. Girls had more favourable view of teachers creating greater opportunities for group interaction and individual rapport compared to boys. However, when disaggregated by the marks obtained during the last examinations, the majority of the sub-scales revealed significant differences. It is argued that cultural dispositions may have come into effect, when the students evaluated their teachers. Directions for further research are provided.

The literature of the Philippines shows the European, North American and Asian colonial legacy of the country, hence the diverse and richness of the written works that it contains. These literary pieces could be interpreted in various ways that could help understand how those influences shaped Philippine literature and contributed to the nation’s history and traditions over the years. The study sought to explore the literary works of the Philippines, particularly short stories. Narrative Analysis, specifically Gerard Genette’s theory of Narratology with four analytical categories — narrative mood, narrative instance, narrative levels, and narrative time was used in interpreting the selected 32 short stories from the American to the Contemporary period. After a thorough analysis of the selected pieces, the study was able to determine that predominantly, Filipino writers from the time specified followed a varied manner in the act of narrating, employed a heterodiegetic voice, extradiegetic in its embedded narratives and a fair incorporation of singulative, repetitive and iterative components. Through the analysis, it was found that the narrative mood, instance, time, and level that were found in each literary piece were represented in both distinct and relative manner. The researchers recommend to the administrators in education to utilize studies as means to structure other similar studies to help provide more evaluation and inquiries to the Philippine literary works and for future researchers to produce more credible and generous sources about the interpretation, survey and analysis of the different literary pieces in the Philippines from the previous eras to the Contemporary time.

Sat, 18 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Totally maintained Pakistan is basically free in food creation whether just 30% of its creation potential has been accomplished. The four mainstays of food security are accessibility, heartiness, access and use. Food security can be surveyed by calories to process out to allow per individual consistently. Family Food Delicacy Access Scale, checks the degree of food vulnerability in the family in the previous month on a discrete ordinal scale, Family Dietary Assortment Scale, measures the amount of different sustenance classes gobbled up over a specific reference period (24hrs/48hrs/7days), Family Hankering Scale - measures the experience of family food difficulty considering a lot of obvious reactions, got through a survey and summarized in a scale. Strategy for real life adaptations Record (CSI) - assesses family approaches to acting and rates them considering a lot of moved spread out behaviors. The reasoning for this investigation relies upon get-together data on a singular request: "What do you do when you really want more food, and need more money to buy food?" Pakistan's food vulnerability and craving situation is presumably going to decay in the viewpoint period, as financial and political crises are diminishing families' purchasing influence and ability to buy food and other essential items, it notes Office suggests the constraint of individuals or social occasions to reach their own decisions about what food assortments they eat, what food assortments they produce, how that food is made, dealt with, and coursed inside food structures, and their ability to partake in processes .Status of food security are Food usage ,Freedom ,Food lack and surplus, Un-got to piece of food There are numerous components which cause food shortcoming Desperation: Prosperity: Without sufficient calories and enhancements. Dry spells, floods, tempests and dry seasons cause food deficiencies.
