An Empirical Investigation into the Effects of Cashless Policy on Deposit Money Banks Liquidity in Nigeria

This study focused on the effects of cashless policy on deposit money banks liquidity (DMBs) in Nigeria. The data for the study were obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletins and the World Bank. A significant effect of cashless policy (point of sale, Web Pay and Mobile Pay) on deposit money banks liquidity spanning for the period of (2013-2020) in Nigeria was evaluated with the help of regression analysis. The trace test indicate 1 cointegration which meant there was a long term relationship among the research variables. The major objectives of the study were to examine the effects of point of sale (POS) on deposit money banks liquidity, to determine the effects of Mobile Pay on deposit money banks liquidity and to assess the effects of Web Pay on deposit money banks liquidity. The policy implication is that point of sale, web pay and money pay are function of cashless policy in Nigeria. Therefore, the study recommends that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) should intensify its effort for full implementation of cashless policy, CBN should also provide enabling environment for the smooth conduct of cashless policy and facilitate, encourage and enforce on all deposit money banks to comply with the policy. Deposit money banks should intensify their effort toward the improvement of the number of automated teller machine, point of sales terminals and internet facilities. This study therefore placed more emphasis on the level and rate of individual access to cashless financial services with the aims of promoting deposit money banks liquidity in Nigeria.

An appraisal of the implementation of the English language syllabus for French-speaking learners in Cameroon

The present paper set out to investigate the effectiveness of the implementation of the English Syllabus for French-speaking learners in some secondary schools in the Diamaré, Mayo Kani, and Mayo Tsanaga Divisions in the Far-North Region of Cameroon. The target schools were GBHS Maroua, GBHS Kaele, and GBHS Mokolo. The main assumption was that the English language curriculum is not well implemented in the target schools. The study was carried out on a sample of 152 students, nine (09) English teachers and three (03) pedagogic inspectors. The instruments used for the collection of quantitative and qualitative data were questionnaire and interview, respectively. After the analysis of the data, the findings revealed the English language syllabus was appropriate in terms of goals, contents, and methods. However, teachers did not use the adequate methods suggested by the syllabus in their respective classrooms and they had negative attitudes toward the implementation of the syllabus. Moreover, some external and internal factors hinder the implementation of the syllabus. Thus, the English syllabus was not well implemented in those target schools. The study also made some recommendations for the good implementation of the syllabus by teachers such as the follow-up of teachers by the pedagogic inspectors to keep the former abreast with new approaches and methods; the incorporation of listening and oral skills in the examinations, and the provision of schools’ libraries with the adequate resources and internet facilities.

TSM-CV: Twitter Sentiment Analysis for COVID-19 Vaccines Using Deep Learning

The coronavirus epidemic has imposed a devastating impact on humans around the globe, causing profound anxiety, fear, and complex emotions and feelings. Vaccination against the new coronavirus has started, and people’s feelings are becoming more diverse and complicated. In the presented work, our goal is to use the deep learning (DL) technique to understand and elucidate their feelings. Due to the advancement of IT and internet facilities, people are socially connected to explain their emotions and sentiments. Among all social sites, Twitter is the most used platform among consumers and can assist scientists to comprehend people’s opinions related to anything. The major goal of this work is to understand the audience’s varying sentiments about the vaccination process by using data from Twitter. We have employed both the historic (All COVID-19 Vaccines Tweets Kaggle dataset) and real (tweets) data to analyze the people’s sentiments. Initially, a preprocessing step is applied to the input samples. Then, we use the FastText approach for computing semantically aware features. In the next step, we apply the Valence Aware Dictionary for sentiment Reasoner (VADER) method to assign the labels to the collected features as being positive, negative, or neutral. After this, a feature reduction step using the Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) approach is utilized to minimize the feature space. Finally, we have used the Random Multimodal Deep Learning (RMDL) classifier for sentiment prediction. We have confirmed through experimentation that our work is effective in examining the emotions of people toward the COVID-19 vaccines. The presented work has acquired an accuracy result of 94.81% which is showing the efficacy of our strategy. Other standard measures like precision, recall, F1-score, AUC, and confusion matrix are also reported to show the significance of our work. The work is aimed to improve public understanding of coronavirus vaccines which can help the health departments to stop the anti-vaccination leagues and motivate people to a booster dose of coronavirus.

Language Change in Social Media

Nowadays currently, many people are found using language that sometimes runs away from the standard or changes from the standard. They use language only based on their desires. These language changes give the impression of making readers or the public may be confused to understand the true meaning. This makes researchers interested in discussing this issue. This study will focus on the exploration of language change that occurs in social media nowadays. The authors will draw inspiration from various texts on social media. The researchers will complete the survey and the study using Internet facilities. This study was conducted qualitatively and the writers will also be observing the language change directly from the relevant social media applications. The information gathered is terminological in nature, replete with human characteristics, and based on captions from several social media platforms including Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook. Following the completion of this study, the researcher discovered that the vocabulary used by social media users to connect with one another had changed. After the researcher analyzed the data obtained, the researcher found that the semantic change was the biggest change that had been found. As much as 32% of language changes occur in social media and this illustrates that quite a lot of social media users do not use meanings that are not following their standards. Researchers also found that 10% of language changes occurred in the field of morphology. This illustrates that a few social media users result in language changes in the syntax field

Distribution pattern of households’ income inequality in Eastern Cape, South Africa

Income inequality is a pervasive problem in South Africa and particularly affects the Eastern Cape, where poverty levels remain high despite several efforts to address this societal issue. The datasets from 1499 households used for this study, were extracted from the 2021 South African General Household Survey. This study thus examined the distributional pattern of households’ income inequality in Eastern Cape, South Africa, through the use of exploratory data analysis and application of regression-based decomposition of inequality. The EDA results revealed that relatively older households are more concentrated than those young people, female-headed households were also predominant in the study area, while the majority of the households are Black South Africans. The magnitude of the monetary variables’ departure from the mean inferred clear evidence of a widened households’ income disparity or inequality in the study area. The decomposition analysis indicated the contributions of various socioeconomic factors to income inequality. The findings from the regression-based decomposition of inequality found household size, access to basic infrastructure services, possession of assets, internet communication facilities, and households’ population group, as the major drivers of the households’ income inequality in the province, while livelihood diversity has a relatively moderate proportionate contribution. On the other hand, factors such as age and gender of the household head, as well as households’ involvements in agriculture have a minor effect on the households’ income inequality. This paper finally concludes that the relative contributions of each factor contributing to inequality were deemed important for designing effective policy-relevant interventions which can be used to promote economic growth and to address this persistent challenge of income inequality in society.

Therefore, through the Job Training program, as a form of higher education tri dharma, Pamulang University provides a Working Visit E-Book Information System Application to Victoria Busana Ciledug Store to apply there. So it is very helpful for store administration staff and also makes it easier to fill in work visit data for staff who visit the store, simply by opening a browser and being flexible.

Utilization of electronic health records and associated factors among nurses in a faith-based teaching hospital, Ilishan, Nigeria.

It has been documented that nurses' use of electronic health records (EHRs) impacts clients' health outcomes positively. Some health facilities, primarily privately owned institutions, introduced EHRs for optimal healthcare. Evidence of such and associated factors among nurses must be documented to improve utilization and quality. The study assessed the utilization of EHRs and associated factors among nurses in a faith-based teaching hospital. This sequential explanatory mixed-methods study involved a sample of all 240 nurses from a teaching hospital where EHRs have been introduced. Quantitative data through semistructured questionnaires were collected and analyzed using Chi-square and logistic regression. Qualitative data were collected from 10 purposively selected nurses using an in-depth interview guide and analyzed through content analysis. The majority of participants reported availability of EHR computer software (62.8%), internet facility (84.2%), and desktops (76.3%), but EHR was poorly utilized (27.3%). Factors significantly associated were nurses who were females [OR (odds ratio) = 1.5, 95% CI (confidence interval), 0.21-11.24], BNSc degrees holders [OR = 4.3; 95% CI, 1.06-17.43]; had computer EHR software [OR = 7.4, 95% CI, 0.83-3.81], and sponsored EHR training [OR = 2.10; 95% CI, 0.24-18.6]. Noncapturing of nursing tasks and nursing standardized language by EHR software, lack of institutional enforcement on EHR use, and absence of clear EHR policies were the main identified themes for the key barriers to using EHRs. EHR was poorly utilized among nurses. Gender, educational qualification, EHR resources, and sponsored training were factors significantly associated with the use. There is an urgent need for comprehensive EHR packages, sustained sponsored training, and formulation of EHR policy for effective EHR implementation.
