An antecedent factor of customer patronage among selected hotels on Southwest, Nigeria
(Ajayi Crowther University Oyo, 2023-04-01) Akinruwa E. Temitope
Study examine location as antecedent factor of customer patronage among selected hotels in Southwest, Nigeria. Explanatory variables like convenient location; conducive environment; good access road and secure environment were used to explain the predictive effect location on customer patronage of the hotels. Methods adopted includes descriptive via structured questionnaire; heterogeneous purposive sampling techniques and multiple regressions analysis. Total numbers of 69 hotels across all sizes, ranging from one five stars were sampled with the population of 5,070. descriptive results showed that male have the highest value of patronage. customers within the age bracket 31-40 patronized more than any other age groups. Married customers takes the lead of hotels patronage, also customers with University qualification to the lead of patronage among other qualifications. While highest value years of experience were attributed to ages 31-40. Besides, data analysis unveiled that among the predictive factors convenient location take the lead. This is follow by good access road; conducive environment and secure environment. In conclusion, good location is considered as the most viable influential factor that capable of attracting more customers' patronage in hotel business.
Adoption of DSpace Software for the Development of Institutional Repository: Ajayi Crowther University Experience

Academic institutions are increasingly recognising the importance of establishing robust repositories to preserve and disseminate their intellectual output. The paper reports the success story of running the Institutional Repository of Ajayi Crowther University on the Dspace software. Going forward and going by the post implementation and utilization, it is expected that the repository will enhance research collaboration, access to scholarly publications and promote the research visibility of academics within and outside Ajayi Crowther University. The repository was focused on the preservation and making publicly available, the intellectual output of the university in order to support knowledge sharing among researchers as well as increase the web visibility of the institution. Issues that were considered during the take-off of the project included software selection, software customisation, technical architecture, networking, digital competence in the management of the repository, policy, and capacity building, among others. The challenges faced during the implementation period were related to funding and electricity issues. The paper provides valuable insight into the transformative potentials of open-source technologies such as DSpace and also providing best practices guidelines for any universities considering the implementation of institutional repository with limited budget. The study concluded by proffering strategies and guidelines on best practices for installation and implementation of Institutional repositories by institutions who might want to flag theirs on meager and/or limited budget
Challenges and perceptions in the use of ICT in student assessments during the Covid-19 Pandemic

As part of the government's reaction to the covid-19 pandemic, educational institutions were suddenly closed to prevent the virus from spreading further. This has raised concerns about the global consequences of disrupted academic sessions. To ensure educational continuity, ICT (e-learning) has been implemented in universities all over the world. It is common knowledge that electronic learning eventually leads to electronic testing. E-examinations aim to remove limitations and provide answers to several questions that arise during pen- on-paper examinations. As a result, higher education
institutions around the world should accept it. This study looked at how students and lecturers perceived the use of electronic examinations in universities during the pandemic. The data was collected using a descriptive survey research methodology and a structured questionnaire as the data collection instrument. Most
respondents appeared to be familiar with ICT, According to the study’s findings. Furthermore, most of the respondents tended
to have favorable perception of e-examination as a platform for academic assessments in universities, according to the results. On the negative hand, poor internet access, unreliable power supply, unsupported educational policies, fear of examination malpractices, and insufficient technical infrastructure to support e-examination are all major obstacles.
Applicability of Archetypes and the Folkloric Panacea on Societal Ills and Degradation of Morality
(International Conference on Humanities, Literature and Management, 2015-01-10) Okeowo, Adegoke; Okeowo, Abigail Olufunmilayo
Technological advancement in this contemporary age
has, obviously, turned the world into a global village. The art of
news gathering and dissemination has become phenomenal. All one
needs do is punch the right buttons on the computer or mobile phone
and the world is, as it were, at your feet! This has brought to fore an
endless stream of disturbing news of chaos, violence, brutality and
absurdity across the nations of the world – all of which are,
surreptitiously, pushing the human society towards the precipice of
self-annihilation. Over the ages value system in most societies seem
to be changing at an amazing rapidity, resulting in a gradual but
alarming erosion of societal morality. In this respect therefore
sociologists, social crusaders, educational psychologists, guidance
counselors, opinion leaders, and significant others must put hands on
deck to arrest a worsening scenario. The foregoing background
forms the premise of this paper which seeks to examine the nature of
archetypes as embedded in African folklore in particular, and as
obtained in cultures of the world in general. The paper submits that,
by reason of its universality, archetypes can be employed through the
use of folklore (which is essentially didactic) to bring about a
reawakening of sensibilities, self-awareness and re-embrace of all
that is noble, virtuous and humanistic, towards the much needed
sanitization of our society in these unsettling times
Hybridization of zero forcing-minimum mean square error equalizer in multiple-input multiple-output system
(Indonesian Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2022-05-01) Damilare, Akande; Adeyemo, Zachaeus; Arowolo, Olakunle; Oseni, Olasunkanmi
Transmission of high data rate over multipath environment is associated with many wireless applications. However, this transmission results in high delay which leads to inter-symbol interference (ISI) distortion and causes high error. The existing linear equalizer (LE) in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems such as zero forcing (ZF) equalizer used in addressing this problem reduces the ISI distortion completely but results in noise amplification. Likewise, minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalizer only reduces the noise but cannot eliminate ISI. Therefore, this paper proposed a hybrid LE for wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) over Weibull fading channel. The hybridized ZF-MMSE equalizer was developed using conventional ZF and MMSE equalizers. Digital transmitted signal propagated over Weibull fading channel is received at the receiver through multiple antennas and then combined using maximal-ratio combining (MRC). The combined signal is then equalized using hybrid ZF-MMSE to eliminate both the ISI and the amplified noise. The developed model was simulated in MATLAB software environment and evaluation was performed using bit error rate (BER) and pout. The results obtained revealed that the hybrid ZF-MMSE equalizer gave better performance over existing equalizers in a MIMO system. Therefore, the proposed equalizer will help improve the performance of the Wi-Fi technology.
