Item Individual Characteristics as Predictors of Motivation to Use Digital Library among Polytechnic Student in Ondo State, Nigeria(LEAD CITY INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LIBRARY, INFORMATION & COMMUNICATION SCIENCES, 2024-07) Cyril Iloba IJEH; Sunday TUNMIBIDigital libraries offer a lot of advantages for students and this explains why many tertiary institutions including polytechnics in Nigeria have invested in creating various digital libraries. However, many of the libraries often experienced low patronage as students are more inclined to use other source of digital information. In line with this, the study examines the influence of individual characteristics on the motivation to use digital library among polytechnic student in Ondo State, Nigeria. The study adopted the descriptive survey research with the population including 13,407students from two government owned polytechnic in Ondo State. Multistage sampling procedure was followed to select 375 students as sample. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection. The data was analyzed using both inferential and descriptive statistics. The results show that individual characteristics (Adj. R2 = 0. 244, p<0.05) has significant but weak influence on the motivation to use digital library among polytechnic student in Ondo State. The study concluded that the adoption and use of digital libraries underscores the importance of user satisfaction and engagement. It was therefore recommended that polytechnic libraries should provide comprehensive training on how to effectively use digital libraries.Item Internet Addiction as a Correlate of Biology Students Academic Achievement in Tertiary Institutions in Odeda Local Government Area, Ogun State, Nigeria(Faculty of Arts & Education, Lead City University, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2024-09) OGUNRINDE Rebecca Iyabo; ADEYANJU Saudat Titilope; IBIYEMI Damilola JumokeThis study was carried out to determine the influence of internet addiction on the academic performance of biology students in tertiary institutions in Odeda Local Government Area of Ogun State.

Gross domestic product was considered as the dependent variable, while public capital expenditure, public recurrent expenditure, and commercial bank credit to the private sector were treated as independent variables. The Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) analysis was employed to analyze the data, covering the period from 1981 to 2023. The findings revealed important insights into the dynamics between these variables. Notably, public capital expenditure in lag two emerged as a significant predictor of economic growth, as evidenced by its positive and statistically significant coefficient. This implied that public investment aimed at stimulating output exhibited a delayed but positive effect on gross domestic product in Nigeria. Conversely, the commercial bank credit to the private sector in lag three demonstrated a negative and statistically significant relationship with gross domestic product, suggesting that a decrease in private sector credit could hinder economic growth. Based on these results, policymakers were recommended to prioritize and increase public capital expenditure to foster economic growth as it is crucial to maintain a conducive environment for credit availability and accessibility to the private sector. Implementing supportive financial policies lead to improvement on the banking sector infrastructure, and ensuring easy access to financing in order to stimulate private sector investment, job creation, and overall economic productivity. Striking a balance between public and private sector initiatives helps Nigeria to unlock its full growth potential and paves the way for sustainable development.Item Effect of Predict-Observe-Explain Strategy on Secondary School Physics Students’ Attitude in Simple Harmonic Motion in Ogun State(Journal of Capital Development in Behavioural Sciences, 2024-09) Temitope M. ADEPOJU; Philias O. YARAThe study examined effect of Predict-Observe-Explain on secondary school Physics students’ attitude in Simple Harmonic Motion in Ogun State. One hypothesis was formulated and tested at 0.05 levels of significance. The study adopted pre-test, post-test, control group, quasiexperimental design. A total of 166 SS2 Physics students in two senior secondary intact classes in Ogun State were selected through multi-stage sampling technique, participated in the study. One school was exposed to each of the Predict-Observe-explain and conventional method for 8 weeks. Physics Attitude Scale (PAS) with 20 items on a four-point Likert type scale (r=0.73) was used for data collection. Data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. There was a significant main effect of Predict-Observe-Explain strategy on students’ attitude towards Physics (1,128) =6.349, p<0.05, η2=0.047). The study concluded that Predict-Observe-Explain is more effective instructional strategy than conventional method of teaching in enhancing students’ attitude towards Physics because every student participated in one activity or the other which enhanced conceptual understanding, creativity and critical thinking. Consequently, it was recommended that this strategy should be constantly used, while workshop and seminar should be organized for the teachers for effective use of the strategy.Item Knowledge and Perception of Substance Abuse among Okada Riders in Laaniba Community, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria(Faculty of Arts & Education, Lead City University, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2024-09) Adenike Koseganlola Risikat KADRI; Risqat Toyosi NASIR; Oyenike Temiloye OGUNMODEDE; Olubisi Temilola AGBOOLA; Damilola Oluwatomisin OLUGBODI; Titilayo Dorothy ODETOLA; Olabisi Mary OLUSEYERoad traffic accidents (RTAs) from commercial tricycle, motorcycle and bus have been on alarming increase and this has been attributed to psychoactive substances use among the drivers in most developing countries.

Most countries around the world already device ways of recycling wastes products to replace and conserve natural resources used in producing concrete. This paper provides the performance of glass rubber concrete subjected to abrasion resistance and chemical resistance. The durability of concrete was assessed effectively by determining its abrasion resistance and chemical resistance. Cement, water, fine sand, gravel, crushed glass of 4.75mm and shredded tyre of 19mm were used as partial replacement in the composition of mix ratio of 1:2:4 with 0.50 water/cement ratio. 0% was the control and partial replacement was 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by volume before using the aggregates to produce grade 25 concrete in (100x100x100) mm cube mould and was cured for 28 days. Physical and chemical properties, slump test, abrasion resistance and chemical resistance tests were carried out. Results show that slump decreases with increase in crushed glass and shredded tyre. 5% partial replacement has good abrasion resistance after 28 days of curing and 5% partial replacement produced high resistance to chemical resistance with 26.69 N/mm2. Therefore, glass rubcrete shows potential for becoming an additional sustainable solution for waste recycling.Item Journal of Capital Development in Behavioural Sciences(Faculty of Arts & Education, Lead City University, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2024-09) Olayemi Stephen OLASEHINDE; Abdullahi Hafsah MUSA; Oluwatosin Esther OGUNWOConcrete is a durable construction materials which is widely used in construction and civil engineering works.

Industrialization has propelled India's economic growth, but it has also significantly contributed to environmental degradation, particularly through increased energy consumption and pollutant emissions. The study is grounded in Porter’s Hypothesis, which posits that well-designed environmental regulations can stimulate innovation and enhance economic competitiveness. Using data from the World Development Indicators, the study employs a regression model to analyze the impacts of CO2 Trading Schemes (market-based instruments) and Emission Limit Values (command-and-control measures) on Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions, with GDP as a control variable. The findings reveal that both policy approaches significantly influence CO2 emissions, with command-and-control measures exhibiting a stronger impact. However, there is a trade-off between the two strategies, as reflected in the perfect negative correlation between them. The results underscore the necessity of a balanced regulatory framework that integrates both market-based incentives and command-and-control measures to effectively address environmental pollution while promoting economic welfare. The study concludes with recommendations for Indian policymakers to develop an integrated policy framework that leverages the strengths of both approaches, strengthens enforcement mechanisms, promotes sustainable development, and engages stakeholders in the pursuit of environmental and economic objectives.Item Public and Private Sector Expenditure and Nigeria's Economic Performance: An ARDL Analysis(Journal of Capital Development in Behavioural Sciences, 2024-09) Odunola Lovelynn Boluwatife MOGBEYITEREN; Adedigba Praise ABINAThis study examined the relationship between public and private sector expenditure and their influence on economic growth in Nigeria.

MPU; Prof. E.O. ADUDealing with students with severe challenges is a more daunting task for teachers. There are significantly higher rates of students with disabilities in developing countries such as South Africa. The South African government is trying immensely to improve how teachers are empowered to assist them in their work of dealing with these students. These strategies are adapted to fit into the needs of students depending on the type of challenges they have. The risks are thought to be particularly high during COVID-19 lockdown where normal face-to-face classes are replaced with online teaching. When the President announced the national lockdown, students and teachers had to adapt to the new strategy of conducting teaching and learning using online strategies. With students with challenges such as Autism Spectrum and Speech-Language barriers is a big challenge as they need specialized assistive devices to access learning content. Most students come from socially disadvantaged homes where they cannot access Information and Communication Technology (ICT) facilities. This paper aims to investigate how teachers can be empowered with strategies that can be used during COVID-19 and beyond for students with Autism and those with speech and language barriers. The literature explored here does not only illustrate what numerous authors say about teacher empowerment strategies, but it also illustrates how some of these strategies can be useful for both teachers and students. The discussion is to assist in delivering the best strategies that are accessible by both teachers and students in teaching and learning during the COVID-19 lockdown period and beyond.Item Relationship between Social Support and Academic Performance among Undergraduate Students of Madonna University, Nigeria(Journal of Capital Development in Behavioural Sciences, 2020-09) Egheosase Davies Ojeaga OGBEIDE; Callistus Chinwuba UGWU; John Omonzokpea OKOJIEStudents’ academic performance is of very critical importance to parents, guardians, as well as other significant stakeholders. Among other factors, Social Support has been identified as a key variable influencing the academic performance of students. This study examined the relationship between Social Support and academic performance among undergraduate students of Madonna University. 270 students, selected through convenience sampling method participated in the study. It was hypothesised that Social Support would be significantly and positively related to academic performance. The Social Support variable was measured using the Social Support Behavior (SSB) Scale by Vaux et al. (1987); while the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) was used to measure the academic performance of students. Correlation analysis was carried out to measure the relationship between Social Support and academic performance. Results of correlation analysis indicated that there was a positive significant relationship between Social Support and academic performance (r = 0.88). This result validates the positive linear relationship between Social Support and academic performance. In other words, the higher the Social Support availed and accessed, the higher the quality of academic performance delivered. The findings of this study will be of immense utility to parents, guardians, educators, counselors, and significant others, in the development of strategies, for the facilitation and sustenance of enhanced academic performance of students.Item Factors Influencing Choice of Career as Expressed by Secondary School Students in Ilorin Metropolis, Kwara State(Journal of Capital Development in Behavioural Sciences, 2019-03) Aminat Adeola ODEBODE; David Obafemi ADEBAYO; Oyeyemi Jumoke JEKAYINFA; Aminat Ozohu ABURIMEThis study investigates the factors influencing career choices of secondary school students in Ilorin metropolis. It also examined the influence of gender, class level, religion and father’s educational status on the respondents’ expression. It employed a descriptive survey method. A total of 200 secondary school students in Ilorin metropolis were selected through simple random sampling technique. The participants responded to a researcher-designed questionnaire entitled ‘Factors Influencing Career Choice Questionnaire” (FICCQ). The validity of the instrument was done by a team of 5 experts from the Department of Counsellor Education, University of Ilorin. The reliability of the instrument was established using test-retest reliability method which yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.61. The data collected were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. For the demographic data, percentage was employed while t-test statistical tool was employed to test the four hypotheses at 5% level of significance. Results showed that the factors influencing career choice of secondary school students in Ilorin metropolis are ease of access to job opportunity (X=3.50), job remuneration (X=3.48), career guidance from school counsellor (X=3.45), societal values on jobs (X=3.44) family line of work (X=3.25), their performance in school subjects (X=3.20) and intellectual capability that they possess (X=2.50) among other factors. Similarly, there was significant difference in the factors influencing career choice of secondary school students in Ilorin metropolis based on gender (p=0.01), class level(p=0.02), religion (p=0.00), and father’s educational status (p=0.01). It was thus recommended that students should liaise with school counsellors to fully explore the factors influencing their career choices. Counsellors should ensure that students are given orientation as they move from one class to another. This is to ensure that all students, irrespective of gender and religion are abreast of the factors influencing career choice.Item Physicochemical Properties Evaluation of Well and Borehole Water-Samples from Elebu District, Iddo LGA, Ibadan, Nigeria(Journal of Capital Development in Behavioural Sciences, 2025-03) Kolawole FARINLOYE; Dimtry VITHOONJIT; Idowu OLOGEH; Afolakemi OREDEIN; Adesola ADEDIRAN; Folashade FARINLOYE; Olusina AJAYIThroughout ages, water has proven to be an indispensable liquid for life, food production, agriculture, domestic and industrial uses. Access to potable water in Nigeria poses a challenge due to infrastructural deficit. Well and boreholes remain major sources of potable water and in event of poor practices, the risk of contamination is imminent. Hence, continuous evaluation of water quality designated for specific purposes remains a necessity and is thus the underpinning of this study. A total of eleven (11) sites namely: Eleta, Yidi, Akuru, Adedayo, Kuyoro, Elebu market, Ajokankan, Health centre, Police station, Lawyer Oke, Olanlege streets, respectively were randomly selected from Elebu district. Ten samples each from well and borehole were collected and analyzed for physicochemical properties: pH, Conductivity (C); Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Alkalinity, Salinity, hydrogen ion concentration (H+), (pH) were determined in the laboratory using standard techniques. Salinity, TDS and conductivity between January to March, 2024. Results revealed that pH of well and borehole water varied between 6.36±0.02 to 7.21±0.02 and 6.40± 0.01 to 7.10± 0.02 respectively and fell within WHO recommended limits of 6.4 to 8.5. Furthermore, the total hardness of well and borehole water ranged between 4.92±0.02 mg/L to 15.40± 0.10 mg/L and 7.84± 0.02 mg/L to 12.43 to 0.02 mg/L respectively and fell within World Health Organization (WHO) recommended limits of 0.0 to 180.0 mg/L. Iron (Fe) content of well and borehole water ranged between 1.21±0.21 mg/L to 3.17± 0.03 mg/L and 1.91± 0.03 mg/L to 3.84± 0.04 mg/L respectively which far exceeds WHO standards of 0.3 mg/L to 1.0 mg/L. Results from this study indicate that water from the wells and borehole in Elebu district of Ibadan is high in iron content load, hence there is need for water treatment procedure to engender safe water supply to the district.
