Lack of water results in a reduction in photosynthesis in plants and crops. Plants are significantly affected when the soil water level is depleted thereby resulting in low production in the agricultural sector which can lead to a reduction in food supply. This problem makes water supply and management highly necessary for plants to grow effectively. Over the past century, the rate at which water usage has increased globally has increased at a rate higher than that of population growth. Particularly in dry regions, an increasing number of regions are now using more water than they can sustainably provide. The traditional watering techniques, such as sprinklers and flood mode, are ineffective and those not supply the ideal needs of plants because some plants do not need excess water to grow. This also results in water wasting. These ineffective irrigation systems often provide habitat for organisms that carry illnesses. Research has established that excessive water spillage and stagnant water can be habitat for mosquitoes which can also be dangerous to human health. Therefore, watering plants must be done intelligently, by developing an intelligent system that can regulate the content of water needed to water a plant in accordance with their needs and the moisture content of the soil. This will also reduce the spillage of water. In this study, an automated plant watering system that monitors the soil's moisture level to determine when watering plants is necessary was developed using hardware components such as Arduino UNO (Microcontroller), soil moisture sensor, pump, relays, wires, sprinkler and software instructions to drive the hardware components. An economical watering system was designed. The system was tested and can be effectively used in small gardens and big crop fields.

The Kenyan government in 2023 unveiled a new funding model aimed at promoting affordable and equal access to higher education as well as breath life to public universities that would otherwise collapse due to financial challenges. Improvements in performance is seen through intrapreneurial strategies and that is the focus of this study. The unit of analysis was 20 public universities and the unit of observation was 400 participants. A combination of descriptive and explanatory research designs was used. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect primary data; which was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics and content analysis. Multiple regression models were used to test the association between variables. The study found a statistically significant (β-0.620, p=0.000<0.05) and partially moderating influence of operating environment between intrapreneurial strategies and performance of public universities in Kenya. The study concluded that the operating environment moderates the relationship between intrapreneurial strategies and performance of public universities in Kenya. The study recommends that Vice-Chancellors of public universities should adopt innovativeness, pro-activeness, risk-taking and self-renewal intrapreneurial strategies with an awareness of the external and internal operating environment. as they have a significant and positive relationship with performance. The study also recommends that the Ministry of Education, Government of Kenya and relevant policy makers should institute reforms and organise forums that promote intrapreneurship adoption within the public universities to promote overall organisational performance.

Objectives: One of the potential risk factors for poor dental arch length growth, which in turn affects the formation of permanent teeth, is the early loss of primary teeth, which is common in childhood dental disease. For the formation of permanent teeth, the dental arch must be the proper length. The length of the weak arc may cause crowding, preterm birth, or impaction of these teeth, which could harm the student's health and development throughout the course of their life. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of early primary tooth loss in students aged 6 to 12 years old. Materials and Methods: 259 students made up the study group, 135 boys and 124 girls. An expert examiner performed the dental examination in an environment with enough artificial light. The age of the patient and the number of lost teeth were recorded. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, and based on the findings, Chi-square tests were conducted at a level of significance of 5% (P 0.05). Results: Boys lost their primary teeth at a rate of 49%, while girls of the same age lost their teeth at a slightly higher rate of 51%. The study also revealed that first molars (42.6%) are the dental arch's most often missing teeth. Conclusion: In the study group, there was a high prevalence of early loss of primary teeth, students could retain a healthy primary dentition and eventually avoid disruptions in the development of appropriate occlusion with the support of effective educational and preventive programs for oral health. Reducing malocclusion issues would be made possible with the early detection and treatment of the space issues brought on by the early loss of primary teeth.

Plants which are essential for life, have the potential to become a renewable energy source in the Future. They can generate electricity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and being environmentally friendly. This study aims to explore the untapped potential of botanical batteries and contribute to green energy technology. Plants' capacity to convert sunlight into chemical energy could be a viable and environmentally friendly source for electrical power generation, offering a sustainable solution to the world's growing energy demands while mitigating climate change impacts. To achieve the goal of the study, pure experimental research was applied. And the researchers used cactus (prickly pear), copper nails, zinc nails, copper wire, alligator clips, and disposable plastic containers. The study was conducted at Bayugan National Comprehensive High School, Bayugan City. Throughout the analysis of the data obtained after the three tests conducted, it has been found that like an electrochemical cell, copper and zinc electrodes inserted into prickly pear leaves can generate energy. With the highest current magnitude and maximum value at the highest contact area, the prickly pear plant has the highest potential for energy harvesting. Cut-off or partially leaved leaves can be harvested for their energy, which can then be utilized to charge batteries or power low-power devices.

Work related rest is highly ignored by employers especially in Ghana’s private corporate sector. In a highly competitive job market and scarce job opportunities, employers tend to perceive jobs as favour being made to employees. This perception tends to influence employers to deprive employees of their necessary work-related rest breaks rightfully due them. Such actions by these employers in most cases seem uncontested by employees since they are not privy to their rights to work related rest or tend to apprehend fear that they might lose their jobs in a bid to agitate for their legal rights to rest breaks. Alternatively, an employer may not restrict an employee’s right to rest breaks but rather, employees may tend to ignore their rights to rest especially in the form of annual leave for want of excessive financial gain. This paper highlights provisions on work related rest from Ghana’s Labour Act,2003 (ACT 651) which is a domestic law drawn from the International Labour Organization. The manuscript advances practicality of the sections on rest breaks highlighted by the Labour Act of Ghana by introducing both Ghanaian and Common law cases on rights and obligations of employers and employees in relation to rest breaks in Ghana.

The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of propolis (aquatic, alcoholic) and vitamin E on the state of experimentally induced oxidative stress status in the male white rats. The animals were distributed into five groups: The first group (negative control) was given only water and food until the end of the study period. The second group (positive control) was dosed with H2O2 through drinking water at a concentration of 0.5% for 21 days. The third group was dosed with H2O2 at a concentration of 0.5% and treated with aqueous extract of propolis at a concentration of 4% for 21 days. The fourth group was dosed with H2O2 with drinking water at a concentration of 0.5% and treated with an alcoholic extract of propolis at a concentration of 1% for 21 days. The fifth group was dosed with H2O2with drinking water at a concentration of 0.5%. It was treated with vitamin E at a concentration of 50 mg/kg for 21 days. The results showed that the treatment with the water and alcoholic extract of propolis and vitamin E has led to a significant increase (p≤0.05) in the concentrations of the antioxidants enzyme (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase) and a moral decrease in the Malmondialdehyde compared to the negative control.
