Background: As in many countries worldwide, due to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, higher institutions in Nigeria closed in March 2020 and only began reopening in October of the same year. As a result of the lockdown, some higher institutions had to quickly move from the traditional face-to-face teaching method to virtual learning. This study aime...

The continuing quest to ensure user acceptance is an ongoing management challenge and one that has occupied information systems researchers to such an extent that technology acceptance research is now considered to be among the more mature areas of exploration. Several models have been developed and validated in different contexts to help explain t...

A lot of research have been conducted using expert systems in the diagnosis of neonatal jaundice but none has been conducted on kernicterus. Kernicterus is a complication of neonatal jaundice in which bilirubin accumulates in the grey matter of the brain, causing an irreversible neurological damage. In this paper, a Bayesian belief network was desi...

The acceptance of Educational Technology (ET) is considered critical in evaluating the success of its implementation, as access to these innovations alone does not guarantee use, nor does it determine the benefit for the intended user. Despite the growing attention to innovation in several organizations, little attention has been given to innovatio...

Delirium is a mental disease that is prevalent amongst adult which cannot be diagnosed using laboratory tests. Diagnosing delirium requires the use of symptoms and even experienced psychiatrist often misdiagnose it. In this paper, a neuro fuzzy technique was applied in diagnosing delirium. A dataset containing thirty diagnosed case of delirium was...

Poultry diseases is a serious and growing problem with increased fatality rate. Early detection of poultry diseases is the first step in eradicating and preventing its spread as well as improve the health of the birds and reduce mortality rate. In this paper we proposed a Bayesian belief network (BBN) model for predicting fourteen different types o...

Fever is a change in the body temperature of a human being, between the minimum and maximum temperature. The cause and type of fever ranges from communicable to non-communicable diseases. Yellow fever is a hemorrhagic fever caused by the yellow fever virus. It has resulted in about 127,000 severe cases and about 45,000 deaths and almost 90% of thes...

Many have had high expectations for the impact of computing education on societal development. By and large, these expectations have not been realized. It has become evident that several factors such as learning environment have tremendous influence in the quality of teaching students receive and the extent of attention they pay to lessons in schoo...

Understanding users’ acceptance is a key factor for the development and success of Educational Technologies (ETs), as access to these technologies alone does not guarantee use, nor does it determine the benefit for the intended user. This study aimed to investigate the issue with acceptance and use of Google Apps for Education (GAFE) and examine fa...

The increasing complexity, heterogeneity, dynamism and interconnectivity in software applications, services and networks has led to complex, unmanageable and insecure systems. This complexity has increased the cost and errors of managing information technology infrastructures, as well as, threatens to undermine the benefits information technology a...

The enormous time taken in processing academic transcript has impedes students' progress, whereby several applicants lose their admission, scholarship and job opportunities. These unpleasant circumstances have necessitated the search for better options. This search for better options resulted to the concept of multi-tenant database as a central rep...

In the globalised world, technology has become the in-thing as countries and/or organisations devise means of gaining a competitive edge over others. In view of this, education systems in individual countries need to be tailor-made to suit this endeavor. Computing education, on the other hand, is very important to the development of a nation. It he...

Structures are made up of several members that transfer their loads to the foundation. All structures possess a set of properties. Structural properties of concrete materials determine to a great extent, the longevity of the structure and its ability to withstand adverse conditions. To make perfect design of structures, appropriate material choices...

In the past, organizations have tried to consolidate their data onto a single database. However, they have encountered a number of difficulties such as namespace problem, access control to multi-use databases and high operational cost. This paper considered multi-tenancy as it applies to database consolidation. Its relevance in the area of cost, ac...

The research focus on Internet of things (IoT) innovations as it applies to the needs identified in the nation Nigeria and towards the upliftment of the living standards of the people. IoT is a new innovation that is gaining wide awareness and acceptance in several fields due to its practical relevance in everyday life improvement. However, its imp...

University E-mail system exists to support teaching, learning and research needs of their parent institutions. This is done through the provision of free productive tool for classroom communication and collaboration. ICT staffs and researchers are in search for new ways of serving their users more efficiently and effectively to improve its use. In...

One of the major causes of infant mortality is Congenital Heart Disease (CHD). In most cases, a proper diagnosis at an early stage will result in a significant chance of survival of the patient. Early diagnosis has always been lacking due to the fact that doctors are not equally skilled and may lack the required facilities needed for such diagnosis...

This research paper seeks to provide further understanding of challenges surrounding acceptance of University E-mail system by undergraduate students in University of Benin. This paper integrates the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) model, Technology Awareness and Attitude into a comprehensive model of University E-mail S...

In this paper, we propose a soft computing approach for drug management of hypertensive patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Hypertension is a common risk factor to patients with CKD as it exposes them to fast progression of renal damage. The application of expert systems in medical decision support had improved the ability to handle uncerta...

Students' acceptance is one of the key fundamentals for development and success of University E-mail system. This research explores the level of acceptance and factors influencing the acceptance of the email system at University of Benin, Nigeria. This research modified and used the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT 2), as a...

School Libraries exist to support teaching, learning and research needs of their parent institutions. This is done through the provision of up to date information resources to their users.
