Availability and utilization of teaching resources for effective computer science education for youth empowerment in Anambra state

This study was an assessment of the extent of availability and Utilization of Teaching resources for effective Computer Science Education in the Technical Colleges of Anambra State. To carry out the study, two research questions and a Null Hypothesis was formulated. The data were analyzed using Mean, standard deviation and z-test respectively. A questionnaire with 45 items were developed and used for collecting data from the respondents. The population of the study was 534. A sample size of 300 respondents was obtained using stratified random sampling techniques comprising of 215 vocational students and 85 technical teachers in four technical colleges of the state. A reliability test was conducted using Pearson (r) product moment correlation co-efficient and the instrument yielded an internal consistency of 0.69. Results showed among other things that teaching resources like Audio, Printed and non-projected teachings and worksheets were not available. Extent of utilization of teaching resources indicates that Audio, Computer Mediated teachings and non-projected display teachings were not utilized in the teaching and learning in the technical colleges. Based on the findings, recommendations were made as; teaching resources should be provided in all the departments in the technical colleges for effective teaching and government should monitor utilization of teaching resources in all the technical colleges to enable the youths pass out with skills for self-employment.

Indian sign language interpreter

Hand gestures which are a form of non-verbal communication are a strong way to communicate with a hearing-impaired community. It helps to establish human-computer communication. The purpose of this project is to help the dumb and deaf people for ease in communication as this project will help us to understand their sign language to some extent as both hands are used for performing any gesture and this will eventually help them to communicate with others. Image classification is done using neural networks. The task is accomplished using Machine learning and Image classification. InceptionV2 model with feature vector is used to train the dataset of around 10000 images in total and 300 images of each sign which gives the optimum accuracy.

Gender and age detection

This project is about gender and age detection. Nowadays, age and gender classification are being used in many applications like human-computer interaction, biometrics, video surveillance, forensic, etc. The main objective of this project is to compare the image with the reference images stored as templates in the database and to check how approximately it gives the accuracy by detecting the age and gender. The age and gender are detected by giving the picture and video file as input. It is used on the basis of deep learning and successfully applied to the image classification area. Gender and age detection from images of human faces and also the video is an essential part of our method for anomalous human behavior.

Fasting for husband’s long life: A study of Hindu women living in Dhangadhi Sub-Metropolitan City, Kailali District

Fasting has been undertaken for spiritual or religious reasons throughout history. No matter what, whether it is “Teej,” “Sarwan-Brata” “Karva-Chauth” or any other special occasion, a Hindu woman fasts for her husband to live long. Fasts “Vrata” or “upavasa” is a centuries-old tradition observed annually in Nepal, and girl children follow their mother’s and grandmother’s footsteps without questioning the matters of fact. For fasts, usually, Hindu women wake up before dawn to begin a fast at sunrise, take a bath, put on clean clothes, not eat or drink until evening. For a long time, I was constantly preoccupied with the question of fasting and did not get a rational answer, so I have decided to explore why Hindu women pray for love and long lives for their husbands in Nepal? Does fasting extend the life of the husband? To know the proper answer, I had been through religious scriptures, reviewed scientific research articles, interviewed a few priests and women who have fasting experience. Based on research findings, fasting for the husband may or may not bring longevity to the husband’s life, but scientific research articles reported that fasting is good for detox and builds health and immunity for those who are fasting. In addition, not eating is the key to losing weight. Based on statistics from 2009 to 2019, the life expectancy at birth for women in Nepal was about 72.21 years, and the life expectancy at birth for men was about 69.26 years on average. The concluding remark is that fasting for a husband’s long life may or may not extend the husband’s life, but it extends the healthy life of those who fast.
