Abstract
Muntinlupeños refer to the people living in Muntinlupa, one of the cities in the National Capital Region (NCR) of the Philippines. The study has three (3) general inquiries: 1) the preferred system of the respondents in terms of the form of government, 2) the respondents’ views on Federal-Presidential System, and 3) the impact of the medium of information about Federal-Presidential System to the respondents. This study used a descriptive-qualitative approach to gather and analyze the data and the respondents’ views on the proposal of adopting the Federal-Presidential System in the Philippines in which they were free to give comments for each area in the questionnaire. The study shows that the Muntinlupa residents have an overall positive view on the Federal-Presidential System though there are factors on some areas that they disagreed on. They approved on the distribution of responsibilities within the nation and state or the region as well as with the division of powers and authorities like the collection and creation of taxes, making laws about marriage, and supervision of trade and commerce. In terms of leadership, the respondents have uncertainties on some parts of the set up and arrangement of the head and leaders. They disagreed on the terms that the president will serve both as the head of the state and head of the government, and that the president will share the executive power with the prime minister. On the other note, the respondents agreed on the terms of keeping the current set-up of the government having three branches namely the Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary. They also approved of the national concerns like the security or monetary policy being addressed by the federal government under the president, and of the domestic or state issues like the marital laws and criminal justice system will be handled by the state government.Key-Words / Index Term

Abstract
This study examines the effects of peer pressure and depression on substance abuse among undergraduate students at the University of Lagos, Nigeria. This study used a cross-sectional investigation design. 188 undergraduate students from the University of Lagos participated in the study. Data were collected using the Peer Pressure Inventory, Substance Abuse Scale, and Beck Depression Inventory. The statistical analysis used were descriptive statistics, simple linear and multiple regression. Hypothesis showed that, [F (1,186) = 201.343, R=.721 and R2=.520], hypothesis two revealed that [F(1,186) = 36.371, R =.742 and R2 =.551] and hypothesis three showed that, [F(2,185)=136.840, R=.772 and R2=.597]. This study concludes that peer pressure and depression significantly influence undergraduate of University of Lagos, Nigeria. Based on the results of the study, it is recommended that good counselors be employed in schools to take care of students who cannot cope., in order to reduce their level of depression which makes them to get involved in substance misuse. Also, parents and teachers should encourage the students on the kind of peers they keep so that instead of involving in bad attitude, they will live a life that will be acceptable in their family, school and the society at large.Key-Words / Index Term

Abstract
The concentration of five macro elements; Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Sodium (Na) and Manganese (Mn) in some cereals (red maize, white maize, red guinea corn, white guinea corn and millet) sold in Ajaka market in Igalamela/Odolu Local Government Area of Kogi State, Nigeria, were determined using titration method and UV-Visible spectrophotometer. The concentration of the macro elements (Mn, Na, Mg, Ca and K) ranges from 1.364 mg/Kg to 1.434 mg/Kg, 69.00 mg/Kg to 138 mg/Kg, 108 mg/Kg to 228 mg/Kg, 180 mg/Kg to 380 mg/Kg, 210 mg/Kg to 360 mg/Kg for red maize, white maize, white guinea corn, red guinea corn and millet respectively. The result of the analysis of these cereals are below the standard permissible limits of World Health Organization (WHO)/Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), indicating mineral deficiencies in the analyzed samples. The low concentration of these elements can have long-term health implications on the consumers of these cereals in the area of study. Therefore, constant monitoring of these macro elements should be carried out regularly on these cereals to ensure nutritious and quality food, since many of these cereals are brought to the market from neighbouring states that are prone to industrial and agricultural toxicants.Key-Words / Index Term

Abstract
Special education has been practiced in Tanzania in 1950 education by the Church Missionary Society. Notwithstanding its long time in the country, its implementation literature is sparse although Tanzania education policy has clearly stated the need for inclusive education. This study examines the compliance of public primary schools on inclusive education policy in Tanzania in particular it examine the compliance on inclusive to the pupils with disabilities in primary schools by considering school infrastructure and teachers’ capacity to implement it and the challenges in implementing primary education in Tanzania. This study was qualitative and it employed a case study design. The sample size was 66 respondents selected using purposive sampling while the methods of data collection were interview, focus group discussion and documentary review. The method of data analysis was content analysis. The findings indicate that inclusive education, which has led to an increase pupils with disabilities in schools. Despite this achievement in enrolling pupils with disabilities as part of inclusive education, the challenges such as inadequate of learning and teaching materials and lack of teachers ‘competence to handle pupils with disabilities indicate that Tanzania has a long way to go in provision of inclusive education. This study suggests that the government has to increase the budget for inclusive education and provide capacity building for teachers and other caretakers so that pupils with disabilities and special needs may get competent teachers and services needed while at schools. Further to that, the ministry of education, Science and technology and other stakeholders in education sector should put their efforts on improving the implementation of inclusive education so as pupils with disabilities get education and services at school similarly to pupils without disabilities in primary schools in Tanzania.Key-Words / Index Term

Abstract
Work-related stress, anxiety and drinking behaviour is fast becoming a major problem for working healthcare communities in Nigeria and increases the risk of illness in the past few years. Hence, this study examined the extrapolative role of stress and work anxiety on health workers drinking behaviour in Nigeria. The cross sectional survey design was employed among one hundred and ninety-eight health workers in Benue State, Nigeria using the simple random sampling technique. The perceived stress scale, Anxiety measurement scale and the drinking behaviour scale were used for the data collection. Three hypotheses were tested using linear and multiple regression analysis. Hypothesis one revealed, occupational stress significantly predicts drinking behaviours among health workers in Benue State, Nigeria. Hypothesis two showed that, anxiety significantly predicted drinking behaviour among health workers in Benue State, Nigeria and Hypothesis three revealed occupational stress and anxiety jointly predicted drinking behaviour among health workers in Benue State, Nigeria. It is recommended that, workplace policies should be complemented by interventions that provide education and awareness, access to treatment or counselling for health workers with drinking challenges. Intervention packages tailor-made to the desire of workers, need to be examined and implemented. Such packages may be included into the prevailing employer environment which will lessen the amount of beige drinking and anxiety among workers.Key-Words / Index Term

Abstract
Byrsocarpus coccineus stem and leaves have been reported to have extensive ethno medicinal uses. The therapeutic evaluation of methanolic extracts obtained from the leaves and stem of Byrsocarpus coccineus was carried out to evaluate their antimicrobial potential and reported usefulness. The phytochemical screening of the powdered leaves and stem of Byrsocarpus coccineus were determined using previously described standard methods. The antimicrobial potency of the extracts on clinical isolates was determined using agar diffusion method. Phytochemical analysis of Byrsocarpus coccineus yielded important medicinal constituents which included glycosides, reducing sugars, tannins, alkaloids, saponins, phenols in both extracts. Result from the antimicrobial screening showed that the extract of the stem of Byrsocarpus coccineus had a significant inhibitory effect at 100mg/ml and 50mg/ml in comparison with the leaf extract. Gentamicin was used as a positive control. Results from this study validate the importance of Byrsocarpus coccineus especially stem extracts in the control of infections caused by microorganisms used in this study.Key-Words / Index Term

Vol.9 , Issue.1 , pp.45-51, Jan-2023
Abstract
Soil subsidence which is caused by soil piping is the gradual sinking of the earth’s surface owing to subsurface movement of the earth materials. This research studied the physico-chemical analysis of uncontrolled soil pipes leading to soil subsidence in Anambra state. The study was carried out in three locations: Awka site, 1 (6.22320N and 7.08240E), Awka site 2, (6.22200N and 7.08190E), Agulu, (6.3401N and 7.1233E). A total of 24 soil samples were investigated, which include 15 samples, in and around the soil subsidence location and 9 samples, 20m away from the soil subsidence location. The parameters examined include pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solid (TDS), Organic Carbon, Organic Matter and Soil Texture. The pH values ranges from 4.8 at the piping zone to 6.8 mostly at the non-piping zone, indicating acidity in the soil, the value of electrical conductivity ranges from 2.21 – 7.21?S/cm. The areas also show very poor organic content of 2.43 at the piping zone indicating that the soil has been heavily drained soil and the soil texture analysed at the piping regions showed a very poor clay content of 14 to 19% indicating dispersive processes in the soil.Key-Words / Index Term

Review of Climate Change Assessment using Solar Radiation Data from Satellite Remote Sensing

Review Paper | Journal-Paper (IJSRMS)
Vol.9 , Issue.1 , pp.52-57, Jan-2023
Abstract
Climate fundamentally affects man and his environment regardless of the richness and technical know-how of contemporary societies. For this reason, climate change and its effects on the ecosystem have become contemporary global problems. In the course of scientific study about climate change, it has become obvious that climate change holds substantial risks for people, the natural resources and the ecosystems on which they depend. Hence, they usually result in increased demand on society requiring frequent monitoring of the climate variables. Accurate observations of the climate variables are feasible by various means such as ground-based methods, reanalysis tools, and satellite-based systems. Among the available methods, the application of satellite-based data is more sufficient for multi-scale and instant assessment with a time-based revisit constantly with the earth’s processes. This study is specifically concerned with satellite–enhanced observations of solar radiation for monitoring climate change. Electronic databases were accessed to gather papers that are available in the English language over ten years from 2013 to 2022. Subsequently, 805 peer-reviewed articles were gathered out of which 66 eventually met the review conditions. The suitable papers were categorized and discussed based on their importance on the measurements of radiations. Summarily, this study shows that remote sensing is an effective tool for understanding solar radiation, which is of great significance in monitoring climate change.Key-Words / Index Term
