Abstract
Abstract This research assessed the Content Validity and Reliability of Mathematics Tests for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) in Abia state, Nigeria. The study was guided by three research questions and two null hypotheses, employing an evaluation research design. The study population consisted of 240 items (also served as the sample size), utilizing BECE mathematics tests from 2019 to 2022 as research instruments. Percentage was used to answer research questions one and two and Kuder-Richardson 20 was used to answer research question three, chi-square goodness of fit test was employed to test the null hypotheses at a 0.05 significance level. Results indicated that content percentages in the tests aligned significantly with those in the Mathematics Curriculum, but the objectives' percentages did not. The instruments exhibited reliability indices ranging from 0.9338 to 0.9790. Consequently, it was concluded that while the constructed mathematics tests were reliable, they lacked sufficient content validity. The researchers recommended employing a well-developed test blueprint to enhance content validity during test construction.

Abstract
Abstract Road traffic accident is a major concern in the whole world. A large number of people die annually due to road accidents, causing irreparable losses and emotional distress to their family members and society. The study analyzed the effectiveness of three machine learning techniques on the road traffic accidents dataset that was obtained for a period of three years (2020-2022) from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). The dataset consists of 27 attributes and 481 instances which were further divided into 75% for training and 25% for testing. The metrics used for evaluation include: accuracy, prediction speed, training time, and area under curve (AUC). The dataset was used to formulate predictive models for road traffic accidents using Support Vector Machine (SVM), Classification Tree (CT), and Ensemble Bagged Tree (EBT) algorithms. The formulation and simulation of the predictive models were carried out using the Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) statistical tool. The results show accuracy (%) of 56.3, 43.2, and 55.7. Execution Time (Secs) of 66.485, 1.4291, 5.466. Prediction Speed (Obs/Sec) of 120, 14000, 1600, and AUC of 0.79, 0.73, 0.82 for SVM, CT, and EBT techniques respectively. The three models were compared and the best model in terms of accuracy was selected and validated. The study concluded that the SVM model recorded the highest prediction accuracy followed by EBT and CT based on the dataset used. The study, therefore, recommends that the performance of other machine learning techniques could be tested on the dataset.

Abstract
Abstract The need to draw a critique on technology use in sports through psycho-philosophical lens provoked this work. The marriage between sports and technology came to the fore with the crave of the great industrial revolution for a shift of societies from agrarian economy to manufacturing economy where producing products were no longer left with the hand alone but also the machine. Till date, it has come to stay and no time soon can anybody predict otherwise as it is increasingly difficult if not practically impossible to imagine sport and sport science without technology. From athletes to coaches, athletic officials, spectators and other significant actors in the sports ecosystem, technology has proven the capacity to genuinely revoluntionalize sports. Today, by leveraging on technology, athletes better themselves in more than one way; coach’s job has been made easier, safer and broader; athletic officials become more accurate in their decisions during some difficult moments in competitions; and spectator fast becoming active, rather than passive viewers in sporting events. However, a circumferential view through psycho-philosophical lens has started prompting the quest for deeper insights into the modern technology paradigm among sport science and educational team who now ask and reflect on some tough questions of the current applications of technology in sport. Answers to queries as to how the present technology use would detract from the inherent values of sports through displacing human agency by way of allowing practitioners no opportunity for sense of agency, overall experiential knowledge, self-efficacy, and control, would better situate awareness on the contrivances of current technological applications in sports. This is what the present work has attempted.

Abstract
Abstract In this era of digital revolution, artificial intelligence stands to be one of the emerging technologies to revolutionize the way we live, work, or communicate. While everyone is fighting to lead in this technology, their readiness differs, and acceptance challenges arise in the education sector. Therefore, this paper examined technological readiness as a predictor of artificial intelligence acceptance among lecturers in the Faculty of Sciences, Alvan Ikoku Federal University of Education, Owerri, Imo State. Three research questions guided the study. The study is a predictive design of a correlational type. All the 147 Faculty members formed the sample based on census sampling technique. Two instruments (Technological Readiness Index (TRI) and Questionnaire Acceptance of Artificial Intelligence (QAAI)) were used to collect data for this study. A single administration and Cronbach's Alpha ensured the reliability index of TRI (0.87) and QAAI (0.81) for the instruments. The data collected were analysed using multiple regression analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient, and coefficient of determination with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0. The results of the study revealed that each of the four variables of technological readiness (optimism, innovativeness, discomfort, and insecurity) relates positively and significantly to artificial intelligence acceptance. Also, there was a high relative predictive power of each of the four variables of technological readiness to artificial intelligence acceptance. The result also showed that the four variables of technological readiness jointly accounted for about 68.7% of the variance observed in lecturers’ artificial intelligence acceptance. However, innovativeness had the highest predictive power. It was recommended that lecturers should always be ready to utilize AI in their academic activities and to increase its acceptance.

Abstract
Abstract Technological advancement and man’s discovery have been an effective development in the knowledge of chemistry. Although, fossil fuels are continually being formed via natural resources they are generally considered non-renewable resources. The practice of green chemistry supports generating energy from earth battery as an alternative energy considered to be eco-friendly. The threat of depletion of conventional energy which is rarely replaced at equal rate of consumption as well as its negative environmental hazards prompted this study, and has given more enlightenment on the awareness and importance of green chemistry especially in the industrial energy sector. Multiple cells were connected in series by connecting the negative electrodes to the positive electrodes while parallel connection was done by connecting negative to negative and positive to positive using a copper wire. The ground was also salted to help with the conductivity. It was observed that the total voltage of the cells increased in series connection above ground but decreased when connected in parallel. Results of the pilot experimental study on generating energy from earth batteries using copper cathode and zinc anode electrodes showed that energy from earth batteries has a reasonable potential use in remote locations for signaling as well as charging cell phone and white light applications. Increased number of cells led to increase in number of volts. This paper reports a detailed experimental design of an earth battery system which is cost effective and accessible. A total of 6.56 volts were obtained from the experiment and white light LEDs were powered on site.

Abstract
Vegetables are very essential in human diet providing dietary fibre, vitamins and minerals. A study was carried out to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites in vegetables consumed in some selected market Ekeonunwa market, Relief market, Amakohia market, Egbeda market in Owerri metropolis, Imo State. A total of three hundred and twenty samples of spinach, cabbage, lettuce, carrot, green beans, green peppers, garden egg and tomatoes were collected. Forty samples per each vegetable type were collected in the study, while ten samples per vegetable were collected from every quadrant (market). The presence of helminthes parasites in the vegetable were determined using floatation, sedimentation and microscopy methods. One hundred questionnaire were administered to 100 vegetable marketers in order to evaluate hygienic practices during sourcing, transportation and retailing of vegetables. In all, 29(9.06%) vegetables were contaminated with one parasite or the other, consisting of strongyle egg 5(1.56%), Taenia egg 4(1.25%), Nematode larvae 17(5.31%), Ancyloestoma egg 1(0.31%) and Ascaris lumbricoides egg 2(0.62%). Based on the type of vegetable, cabbage and lettuce each had 5(12.5%) parasites, while carrot and green beans had 2(5.0%) and 17(42.5%) respectively. Ekeonunwa market recorded the highest contamination of 9(11.25%) parasite, followed by Relief Market 7(8.75%), Amakohia Market (Orie Onumiri Market) 5(6.25%) while Egbeada Market (Rochase Market) had least contamination rate of 8(10.0%). There was no statistically significant association between parasites isolation and the market location.
