Although dual religiosity has received increasing scholarly attention, its implications for religious identity and practice among Catholics in contemporary Zambia remain insufficiently understood. This study examines the manifestation of dual religiosity among Bemba Catholics in Muchinga Province, Zambia, with particular attention to beliefs and practices shaped by African Indigenous Religion (AI…

The widespread adoption of electronic learning has made contemporary educational environments increasingly dependent on interconnected devices, enabling smart classrooms and remote monitoring systems. However, this technological advancement has also introduced substantial cybersecurity risks due to the vulnerabilities of unprotected, heterogeneous, and networked devices. Distributed Denial of Ser…

Research on technology acceptance in higher education repository services has continued to expand; however, studies specifically examining repository accessibility through the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) remain limited, particularly among Library and Information Science students. This study aimed to describe students’ perceptions of the accessibility of the Reposito…

Collection arrangement is an essential component of library management because it directly affects information retrieval effectiveness and service quality. However, practical problems such as inconsistent call numbers, inaccurate shelving, and discrepancies between catalog records and the physical location of materials may hinder users in accessing information and shape their perceptions of libra…

Library collection availability is essential for fulfilling users’ information needs amid increasingly dynamic information development. This study aims to examine library users’ perceptions of collection availability at the Regional Archives and Library Office of West Sumatra Province, focusing on the relevance, quantity, currency, quality, and completeness of collections in supporting informatio…

Work engagement and eudaimonic workplace well-being are increasingly important in the health-care sector, where nurses are required to deliver continuous, professional, and emotionally demanding services. Although previous studies have widely examined work engagement, burnout, job satisfaction, and general workplace well-being among nurses, research specifically addressing the relationship betwee…

The rapid expansion of information technology has transformed students’ learning environments, requiring not only the ability to access digital information but also the capacity to regulate learning independently. However, the relationship between digital literacy and self-regulated learning in higher education remains insufficiently examined, particularly among Library and Information Science st…

This study aims to describe the personal digital archiving capabilities of Library and Information Science students at Universitas Negeri Padang, specifically those from the 2023 and 2024 cohorts. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, involving 61 participants selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and supported by documen…

The increasing use of TikTok Shop as a social commerce platform has transformed how consumers access product information and make purchasing decisions, particularly in the beauty and skincare industry. However, research specifically examining the role of electronic word of mouth and online customer reviews in purchase decisions for Azarine products on TikTok Shop remains limited. This study aims …

This study aims to analyze the empowerment of family education grounded in Islamic values to enhance the resilience of parents of children with special needs at the “Purworejo Kita Semua” Foundation (Yayasan Purworejo Kita Semua [YPKS]) in Purworejo Regency. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The research subjects included the foundation’s teachers and a…

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global public health threat, driven by undiagnosed infections, the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains, and persistent weaknesses in health-care delivery systems, particularly in high-burden regions, thereby undermining progress toward the World Health Organization 2030 TB elimination targets. This study aimed to synthesize recent transformative innovations …

Microbial proteases have attracted increasing attention as eco-friendly biocatalysts because of their broad functional versatility and advantages over proteases derived from plants and animals. This review examines the major sources, classification, production methods, and sectoral applications of microbial proteases. Produced by bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi, microbial proteases are classif…

This study presents the design and implementation of an enhanced Internet of Things (IoT)-based remote monitoring system for managing diesel levels and voltage status in telecommunication base stations (TBSs) to improve operational reliability and reduce fuel-related inefficiencies. A prototype system was developed by integrating ultrasonic fuel-level and voltage sensors with an Arduino Nano micr…

Against the backdrop of escalating antibiotic resistance, medicinal plants continue to attract attention as potential sources of alternative antibacterial agents. This study evaluated the antibacterial efficacy of crude ethanol stem bark extract of Khaya senegalensis against environmental isolates of Salmonella typhi recovered from slaughter slab surfaces and meat handlers’ aprons. The stem bark …

Tuberculosis (TB) drug resistance remains a major public health challenge in Northwest Nigeria, undermining effective disease control and treatment outcomes. This study aimed to assess the genotypic and phenotypic drug susceptibility patterns of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from patients attending TB Reference Centres, with particular focus on first-line, second-line, repurposed, and new a…

Natural Language Processing (NLP) plays a pivotal role in sentiment analysis, particularly in multilingual societies such as Nigeria, where languages like Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, and Pidgin English coexist yet remain largely underrepresented in existing NLP tools and resources. This study aims to develop a sentiment analysis framework specifically tailored to Nigeria’s four major languages, addressi…

Lagrangian points represent critical equilibrium configurations in celestial mechanics where gravitational and centrifugal forces balance, enabling small bodies to maintain relative positions with respect to two primary masses. This study investigates the location and stability of these points under the influence of radiative forces, with a particular focus on the role of radiation pressure in mo…

Microbial enzymes, produced by microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and algae, have emerged as indispensable biocatalysts across multiple industrial sectors due to their efficiency, versatility, and activity under diverse environmental conditions. This review aims to highlight the major industrial applications of microbial enzymes and synthesize evidence on their functional roles in contempora…

This study evaluated the microbiological quality and safety of fresh and smoked catfish (Clarias gariepinus) obtained from five markets (Amai, Umutu, Abbey, Obiaruku, Kwale) in Delta State, Nigeria, during both rainy and dry seasons. A total of 50 samples were analyzed for total aerobic plate count, coliform count, and specific microbial isolates using standard microbiological and biochemical met…

Proportional delay differential equations (PDDEs) arise naturally in viscoelasticity, control theory, biology, population dynamics, and fractional-order physical models in which the future state depends on the value of the solution at a proportion of the current time, but their nonlinear nature and delay terms make analytic treatment challenging. This study develops a hybrid computational scheme …
