Abstract Competitive asset markets and increased globalization have continued to ripple the food value chain with complex dynamics, which has led to a range of challenges such as food safety and quality, traceability, and overall supply chain inefficiency. These have further continued to endanger the general well-being of society. With rice as a staple food in Nigeria, the rice food supply value chain consists of a series of tasks, processes, and activities that are linked together from freshly harvested products to consumer demand and supply. Study advances the SmartRice, a sensor-based block-chain framework that decentralizes as well as provides a decision-support for the food supply value chain process by first ensuring that accurate data of harvested goods are reported, and passed on to a chain. The study advances a decentralized framework to eliminate various forms of fraud rippled across the existing centralized system, minimize corruption through its sensor-based layered model as well as minimize the error in reported data along the value chain.

Abstract In this observational quasi-experimental study, we recruited 200 participants during the Federal University of Petroleum Resources Effurun’s (FUPRE) orientation, who were exposed to socially engineered (phishing) attacks over nine months. Attacks sought to extract participants’ data and/or entice them to click (compromised) links. The study aims to determine phishing exposure and risks among undergraduates in FUPRE (Nigeria) by observing their responses to socially-engineered attacks and exploring their attitudes to cybercrime risks before and after phishing attacks. The study primed all students in place of cybercrime awareness to remain vigilant to scams and explored the various scam types with their influence on gender, age, status, and their perceived safety on susceptibility to scams. Results show that contrary to public beliefs, these factors have all been found to be associated with scam susceptibility and vulnerability of the participants.

Abstract A plan specifying how family resources especially money and time will be allocated or spent during a particular period is called family budgeting. This research work covers an impressive collaborative budgeting tool that lets you plan out your spending habits either long term or short term, not dwelling on the deluge of cash wasted in the past. This application was built as a result of some everyday problems like: daily accumulation of debts, lack of savings, financial stress, among others. The software was built on short time budgeting as regards the long time which is prevalent. In addition, the software is highly processor demanding especially when in use, the application cannot monitor users with offline account and has to trust the user to input the accurate values. The research work concluded by introducing a new system that is user friendly, and efficient. On the successful implementation of the new system, it is our belief that masses will acquire this to better their standard of living.

Abstract In recent times, computer chip manufacturers are frantically racing to make the next microprocessor that will overthrow speed records. So Microprocessors made of silicon will eventually reach their limits of speed and miniaturization and their manufacturers will need a new material to produce faster computing speeds. But fortunately scientists have found the new material they need to build the next generation of microprocessors. Millions of natural supercomputers exist inside living organisms, including our body. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules, the material our genes are made of, have the potential to perform calculations many times faster than the most powerful human-built computers. DNA might in the nearest future be integrated into a computer chip to create a so-called BIOCHIP that makes computers even faster. DNA molecules have already been harnessed to perform complex mathematical problems by researchers.While still in its early life,DNAcomputers will be capable of storing billions of times more data than today personal computer. In this article, a survey of recent research on DNA computing is discussed and the possibility that it might take the place of silicon-based computers in the next decade.

Abstract The main ethical, legal, and social issues in bioinformatics research concerns who controls the acquisition of a person’s Genome and the information it contains; what are the uses of the information; and who decides how the information is used. The ethical and legal challenge is to fairly resolve the ownership, consent, and privacy questions so that individuas, consumers and the public will have confidence that results of bioinformatics sequencing carried out by bioinformaticians will benefit rather than harm them. A key foundational issue is determining who has dispositional rights over an individual’s health report. This research work surveys the current state of the art in ethical issues as it affects research in bioinformatics. The purpose of this Research work is to survey available ethical issues in Bioinformatic research. The intention is not to provide an exhaustive list. Rather, the intention is to identify well-established ethical issues that are used as ethical standard in Bioinformatic research.

Abstract Fuzzy logic has different approaches for enhancing personal health care delivery. Currently, breast cancer is rated as the second leading cause of death among women. Previous studies using fuzzy logic were directed at reoccurrence/survivability. However, there is need for early identification of the predisposing factors of the disease and its elimination. This study focuses on developing a Mobile-based Fuzzy Expert System (MFES) to predict an individual risk of initial cancer growth. The predisposing risk factors of breast cancer were elicited from four domain experts through direct contact; this was used to generate the fuzzy rules. The fuzzy inference approach was employed to formulate the membership functions.Mamdani approach was used for the system design. The system accommodates imprecision, tolerance and uncertainty to achieve tractability, robustness and low cost. Java expert system shell running on Android operating system was used to achieve the mobile technology aspect. For the purpose of system evaluation, 2500 data were collected from two health care centers in Nigeria using random sampling. The result indicated that the fact elicited from the experts served as range values for the 12 risk factors for fuzzification of the input and thus, 36 rules were generated. The rules were used for the system development. The developed MFES recorded 96% accuracy. It is therefore recommended that MFES be used to detect breast cancer risk levels early enough. The main contribution of this work is to reduce the incidence rate in contrast to the existing methods currently applied in the diagnosis of breast cancer.

Abstract Security in general is a major concern in our society today and over time, the security of vehicles has become a priority. Various inventions and technologies have been brought about to put minds at rest, but the complete eradication of theft of cars is much of a tedious task. A solution to knowing the location of vehicles either when they are stolen or for any other reasons. To know this location, it involves the installation of a vehicle tracker in a hidden position in the vehicle so that it is not easily seen while providing essential clues as to the location of the vehicle and also a remote tracking server that receives the location information of the car in longitude and latitude and converts it to a physical address and sends it to the authorized user.

Abstract In an attempt to gain a competitive edge, businesses are increasingly looking for new and innovative ways to cut costs while maximizing profits especially now that the world is experiencing economic downturn. Firms recognize that they need to grow and as a result are under pressure to save money. This has forced the realization that new ideas and methods may produce better results than the tried and tested formulas of old. It is the growing acceptance of innovative technologies that has seen cloud computing become a realizable innovation in information technology (IT). Many have heard of cloud computing, but far fewer actually understand what it is and, more importantly, how it can benefit them. In this research paper, we focused on the economics of cloud rather than technologies; we outline the underlying business benefits it can bring to various users and the economics of scale focusing on what makes it truly different from client/server.

Abstract The status of Nigerian security challenges should be one of the popular tales by moon light to all growing children in every home. This would enable them to run and fly as against crawling and walking when exposed to dangers. This paper focuses on the survey of the benefits surrounding the creation of central national database in Nigeria. Presently, Nigeria is critically facing security challenges because people are not uniquely identified and tagged. The situation has led to insecurity in Nigeria with different trends and dimensions from one geopolitical zone to the other. For example, this has led to various faceless activities such as Islamic sect popularly known as Boko Haram in Nigeria, rampant armed robbery everywhere, notorious robbery and kidnapping in the South-East and South-South, corruption and unemployment are all over, uncontrollable/unidentifiable immigrants, unaccountable birth/death rates in hospital/healthcare centers, and reckless drivers that had claimed more lives than help. To control such devastating effects in Nigeria, central national database must be created to solving identity challenges, tackle loose neighboring borders, labels sectional terrorist, detain corruption leaders, criminals will be identified through database resources. The paper therefore highlight the process by which a central database can control the above listed challenges in Nigeria.

Abstract Society’s reliance on Information Technology (IT) has increased tremendously in the last few decades. Unfortunately, the growth of the IT sector has seemingly occurred at the expense of the environment. The adverse environmental impact of IT operations is partly due to the production and disposal of IT equipment, which gives rise to the release of harmful pollution agents and toxic materials into the environment. The push for carbon footprint reduction by the international community and the realization by major IT organizations on the adverse effect of their operations on the environment are forces behind the evolution of the green IT framework. This reasearch work focuses on measuring the Carbon Footprint of an educational institution in Nigeria and the design of a Generic Green IT Model for possible adoption. The scopes laid out by the GHG (Greenhouse Gas) Protocol was adopted for this research. The CO2 emission from Scope 1 ( Fuel and diesel consumption on campus), scope 2 (purchased electricity) and scope 3 (staff and student commuting) were calculated respectively. Emission factor–based calculation approach was used to calculate the CO2 emission of the institution (WRI – World Resources Institute). The result of this calculation was used to design a Generic Green IT Model.

Abstract Information retrieval System (IRS) is often defined as the location and delivery of documents to a user to satisfy their information needs. IR is the area of study concerned with searching for documents, for information within documents, and for metadata about documents, as well as that of searching structured storage, relational databases, and the worldwide web. There is an overlap in the usage of the terms data retrieval, document retrieval, information retrieval, and text retrieval. IR is interdisciplinary; based on computer science, mathematics, library science, information science, informationarchitecture, cognitive psychology, linguistics, statistics and law. Automated information retrieval systems are used to reduce what has been called information overload. Many universities and public libraries use IR system to provide access to books, journals and other documents. Web search engines are the most visible IR applications. This article is the design and implementation of information retrieval system that deals with this aspect of the institution’s administration by providing an easy to use computerized application to assist in retrieving information.

Abstract A colossal causatum of the COVID-19 sudden happening is the radical global embrace of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in all spheres of the education sector especially in developed economies regardless the preparedness. Going by the new normal kind of, irrespective of the imminent challenges of its prior ubiquitous adoption, there is now a swift resultant ICT inclusion in which the economy is wholly driven by ICT. Notably in education, the COVID -19 disruption scaled up ICT as an instantaneous apparatus to subsist the teaching and learning sector during the universal lockdown which ravaged the whole world between 2019 through 2020 of which the impact still evident. Again, the out break of the Pandemic revealed to many world leaders in many developing countries that they had no choice than to embrace an ICT instrument propelling the development of national knowledge-base. Regardless the superficial hitches in ICT integration in teaching and learning, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic fast tracked ICT penetration hence today, teachers and students in Nigeria and in deed worldwide had no choice than to work online notwithstanding their preparedness in terms of knowledge, skills and resources for the implemetation ICT in teaching and learning. In as much as ICT has come to stay in bridging the gaps in the education sector to in today bortherless world, the place of Green Information Technology must be acknowledged. This research paper addresed how ICT instantaneously bridged the educational gaps in a pandemic inclusive lockdown; and addressing Green IT as it affects our ecosystem. The research has provided the necessary information and details why there should be compulsory implementation of ICT in education to truely bridge the digital gap that existed in the education sector in our today botherless world thus proffering how best to deploy the ICT tools in securing the ecosystem.

Abstract The post covid-19 studies have reported significant negative impact witnessed on global education and learning with the closure of schools’ physical infrastructure from 2020 to 2022. Its effects today continues to ripple across the learning processes even with advances in e-learning or media literacy. The adoption and integration therein of e-learning on the Nigerian frontier is yet to be fully harnessed. From traditional to blended learning, and to virtual learning – Nigeria must rise, and develop new strategies to address issues with her educational theories as well as to bridge the gap and negative impact of the post covid-19 pandemic. This study implements a virtual learning framework that adequately fuses the alternative delivery asynchronous-learning with traditional synchronous learning for adoption in the Nigerian Educational System. Result showcases improved cognition in learners, engaged qualitative learning, and a learning scenario that ensures a power shift in the educational structure that will further equip learners to become knowledge producer, help teachers to emancipate students academically, in a framework that measures quality of engaged student’s learning.

Abstract The high demand for face recognition applications has attracted the interest of researchers in this area. As a result of this, several methodologies have been proposed by scholars in this field. Face recognition methodology aims to detect faces in still image and sequence images. Local, global, and hybrid are approaches used in this area. The major issue of face recognition includes intensity, illumination, difficult to control as well as pose. Face images are highly dynamic and they pose difficult issues and challenges to solve when in use, researchers in pattern recognition, computer vision, and artificial intelligence have proposed many models in other to reduce such difficulties to improve the efficiency, robustness, and accuracy. The objective of this paper is to provide a survey of the current state of research on face recognition methodologies that has been proposed by different researchers. The underlining principles and application areas of face recognition are also presented. Finally, a conclusion on the current state of the art in face recognition was given.

Abstract Fuzzy logic has seen tremendous advancements in the last few decades and is now widely used in a variety of real-world contexts, including control systems, pattern recognition, data mining, and classification, among other fields. Entrepreneurs face significant hurdles in juggling ambiguity and risk while making decisions, making it difficult for them to make the optimal choice. Forecasting business choices and operations is becoming increasingly challenging due to the growing complexity and complexities of corporate environments. Fuzzification is the process of using the data in the knowledge base to transform a crisp input value into a fuzzy value. This study looked at the decision-making process' fuzzification from theoretical and conceptual angles. When information is scarce and of low quality, fuzzy logic provide a natural method for solving multidimensional and difficult problems.
