ABSTRACT: Background: The energy crisis is one of the main challenges of the modern world. Numerous street light systems consume a significant amount of power.
Materials, Methods, and Results: This paper aims to design an intelligent traffic sensing streetlight system, which is composed of Arduino microcontrollers, infrared sensors, and light intensity detectors, and this system tends to reduce energy consumption by considering following two features. Firstly, the fuzzy logic light intensity controller appreciates the presence of ambient light to decide the brightness of streetlight. Consequently, this controller could save energy, particularly in the morning and evening, when the presence of ambient light is prominent. Secondly, this system can comprehend the direction of automobiles, seemed almost new research with uncomplicated hardware, and based on which some forwarding lights are switched on for moving traffic.Thus the projectedschemesaves more energy compared to the existed automated systems, where lights are turned on inboth forward and backward directions of the vehicles......

ABSTRACT: English learning in Nigeria has become imperative and its continuous learning cannot be waved, since it is the official language in Nigeria and an international language for communication. Despite the importance of English language, student's performance in English language in Nigerian secondary institutions has been discouraging. Research has shown that vocabulary is the most important element of any language learning including English language. This paper implemented a mobile gamification learning system for motivating learners to continue learning English vocabularies effectively on mobile devices. The system was evaluated, through an online survey, which was completed by 71 participants with different English vocabulary level abilities. Experimental results revealed that the developed system significantly improve learner's English vocabulary abilities and learning interests.

ABSTRACT: Graduating students are given stipend generously in Saudi Arabia. This research was conducted as it is observed that most of college students received a monthly stipend but had no money in their bank accounts. Most of the students in the Eastern Province don't pay heavy tuition fees, semester fees, examinations fees, for hostel accommodation etc., for completing their Degree. They spend more than what they have receivedfrom college and had no idea about savings.Why students both male and female tend to over spend was a pertinent question. It was decided to identify the root cause and problems in handling stipend money by Business administration (Management) students. The reason for choosing Business Administration students was they have many finance courses yet they don't have thrift. The study was conducted to find out what they do with their money and why this financial struggle. A questionnaire was circulated to collect data and information fromManagement students who are doing Management Information System/ Informatics Systems and Business Administration in Saudi Arabia..

ABSTRACT: The aim of the study is to examine how social networking can influence political awareness. The review of background further depicts that body of literature require focusing upon the fact that social media plays an immeasurable role in bring political awareness in public. The study aspires to evaluate and examine the role of social media networking in bringing political awareness among people. In order to study and explore this issue, researcher has gathered fresh research information. For this study, researcher has selected 6 social media users based in United Kingdom (UK). It can be further explained that the new worldview of online networking has contemporarily filled in as an essential medium of progress and improvement for individuals. Evidently, online networking apparatus is normal particularly regarding drawing in political mindfulness among individuals. It can be stated that the political activism can end up being powerful on the grounds that it empowers the native engagement.

ABSTRACT: Students' management information in Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU), Anambra State, Nigeria is carried out manually. Students are restricted to so many online educational activities because of the current procedure of information management. Students do not have educational interactive platforms where they interact with their lecturers pertaining to a course; lecturers cannot give assignments online and get feedback unless it is done through a social network or private electronic mail. Students' parents or guardians find it difficult to interact with their ward's lecturers because of the manual method. This necessitated an urgent need to develop a system that manages student information online. It is then the objectives of this paper: to develop a centralized students document repository, to create a well-designed assignment submission system.......

ABSTRACT: Electronic voting promises lots of benefits to the electoral systems to include, timely delivery of elections, minimize cost for running elections, minimize coercion and votes buying in elections, eliminate double/multiple votes cast by an electorate, reduce risks and violence associated with elections, etc. It is notable that electronic voting pave ways to so many security issues like any other cyber system. This paper examines the strengths and weaknesses of electronic voting and proffers possible means through which the online voting systems can be improved upon to overcome the associated security challenges. Conclusion was also discussed.
