Use Of Internet

<p>With the advent of Information Communication Technology (ICT) tools like mobile phones, computer, satellite TV, smartphones, internet, among several other devices, gross neglect use of libraries is very rampant among Nigerian students while a tremendous use of the ICT devices is on the increase. This has led to “Stereotyping” and “Xeroxing” of what ought to be a serious academic work as only a few students are regarded as ardent users of libraries. The population of the study consists of two government-owned universities and two privately owned universities in the North Central Zone of Nigeria. Random sampling technique was employed to select 25 male and 25 female students from each of the four universities, but only 196 students out of 200 made available their questionnaire that was used in computing the result. Two library experts and two English experts’ advice were sought on the questionnaire for content validity. The instrument was subjected to test re-test technique producing 0.57 at 0.05 alpha level of significant. The finding of the result showed that very high percentage of the respondents favoured the use of ICT related gadgets for their academic pursuit. Based on this, it was concluded that the use of ICT related gadgets now affects students’ serious academic work since they rely mostly on stereotype and Xerox kinds of studying. To this end, it was recommended among other things that teachers should, as a matter of seriousness, cross check all submitted assignments by students to make sure that they are devoid of stereotype or Xerox.</p>

The fast increasing rate of under-development in Nigeria as a result of nonchalant attitudes towards literacy and entrepreneurship by Nigerian students propelled this researcher to carry out this study. The study adopted a survey research type. The population for the study was all the Nigerian students from the North Central geopolitical zone of Nigeria. Stratified ransom sampling technique was used to select 30 students (15 males and 15 females) from each of the 25 universities in this zone. A twenty-item researcher-designed questionnaire (RDQ) was used for the purpose of collecting data. The content validity of the instrument was done by two experts while the reliability of the instrument was ascertained via test re-test statistical method, thus giving 0.58 reliability index. The three null hypotheses were tested using Pearson r statistical method at 0.05 alpha level of significance. The findings revealed that there are positive but low correlations between literacy and entrepreneurship as well as entrepreneurship and national development having computed calculated r-values of 0.289 and 0.299 which are greater than the critical r-value of .195 respectively at 0.05 alpha level of significance. However, there was positive and high correlation between literacy and national development having calculated r-value of 1.296 and critical r-value of .195 at 0.05 alpha level of significance. Based on these, it was concluded that national development is a result of intellectual work and an easy facilitator of intellectual development is in the art of literacy. As a result of the findings and conclusion of this study, it was recommended among other things that the Federal Government should entrench mass literacy and entrepreneurship education in schools curriculum and also put up a unit that would be vested with the responsibility of monitoring the full implementation of the mass literacy program and entrepreneurship education as well.

India being a nation of Mathematicians like Srinivasa Ramanujam, Aryabhata, Shakuntala Devi, and so forth is constantly celebrated for worldwide numerical commitments throughout time. In the current circumstance, math is a subject that most understudies attempt to dodge because of its extensive counts and complex definitions. Numerous nations around the globe have done several turns of events and developments for mathematical calculations in the field of Chemistry, Physics, Electronics, Computer Science, and so forth with the assistance of cutting-edge Information Communication Technology (ICT) apparatuses. Indian mathematical subsystems also need to evolve and upgrade to meet the global professional competition from the grassroots level. There is a genuine need to join ICT instruments for mathematics in school and college education to have a superior agreement. The joining of ICT instruments can change the course of calculative study to calculative upgrade which further prompts higher concept understanding and perspective development. This paper discusses the new improvement in the field of advanced calculation and how it is limiting the weight on understudies. As per Prytherch (2000), "ICTs are networks that provide new opportunities for teaching, learning, and training through the delivery of digital content. “Integration technology in education means giving experiential learning to the students. Software tools for calculation are utilized in the study hall for improving intellectual capacity and abilities in students especially to diminish computation stress among them.

We made the geochemical analysis of the volcanic material from the sediment core AMK-340 (the Russian research vessel “Akademik Mstislav Keldysh” station 340), the central zone of the Reykjanes Ridge. Two ash-bearing sediment units within the interval of the Termination I can be detected. They correlate with the Ash Zone I in the North Atlantic Late Quaternary sediments having an age of 12,170–12,840 years within the Younger Dryas cold chronozone and 13,600–14,540 years within the Bølling–Allerød warm chronozone. The ash of the Younger Dryas unit is presented mostly by the mafic and persilicic material originated from the Icelandic volcanoes. One sediment sample from this unit contained Vedde Ash material. The ash of the Bølling–Allerød unit is presented mostly by the mafic shards which are related to the basalts of the rift zone on the Reykjanes Ridge, having presumably local origin. Possible detection of Vedde Ash could help to specify the timing of the previously reconstructed paleoceanographic changes for the Termination I in the point of the study: significant warming in the area might have occurred as early as 300 years before the end of the conventional Younger Dryas cold chronozone.
