Abstract

3D printing technology has revolutionized the way products are manufactured, and it has opened up new possibilities in the field of smart materials. Smart materials are materials that can change their properties in response to external stimuli, such as temperature, pressure, or light. By combining 3D printing technology with smart materials, highly customizable and responsive products are created. The addition of the time dimension to 3D printing has introduced 4D printing technology, which has gained considerable attention in different fields such as medical, art, and engineering. To bridge the gap in knowledge of 4D, this paper assessed the revolution in healthcare with 3D/4D printing and smart materials. Data was generated as part of a broader empirical study which sought to explore healthcare personnel and electrical engineers’ perception on the practices around the use of 3D/4D printing technology and smart materials. The main method used was structured interviews. 12 participant were purposively selected and interviewed including healthcare personnel and electrical engineers form Philippines and Nigeria. The findings reveal an array of activities undertaken using both 3D and 4D. Furthermore, the study revealed that 4D printing is a new generation of 3D printing. Another aspect of the 3D usage is the integration of electrical stimulation and smart implant as a new area of study in healthcare. 3D could also be used to monitoring the smart implant performance. The study also evaluate the possibility of using Internet of things (IoT) in the smart implant as some device embeds smart materials. Smart implant commonly used includes orthopedic applications, such as knee and hip replacement, spine fusion, and fracture fixation. The smart materials used in this technology are important because 3D printing allows printed structures to be dynamic. The paper highpoints is that 4D printing has great potential for the future.

Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the impact of conflict resolution procedures on teachers' job satisfaction in Government Technical Colleges in Kano State, Nigeria. The population of the study was 367 respondents, including 15 principals and 352 technical teachers. A sample size of 201 respondents was determined using the correlational research design. The instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire titled "Principal’s Conflict Resolution Procedure Appraisal Questionnaire (PCRPAQ)." The questionnaire was validated by three experts, and the reliability index obtained using Cronbach Alpha was 0.82. The research questions were answered using the mean and standard deviation, and regression analysis was used to test the null hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that arbitration conflict management strategy and effective communication conflict management strategy had a moderate influence on teachers' job satisfaction. Based on the findings, the study recommends that civil societies should enlighten school administrators, teachers, and teachers' unions about the need to adopt the arbitration conflict management strategy, as the constitution provides for all labor-related cases to be handled at the arbitration court.

Abstract

This study examined the level of awareness, perception, and utilization of virtual laboratories in Nigerian Universities by Electrical Engineering lecturers. The study was guided by three specific objectives and three survey research types. One hundred twenty-one lecturers in electrical engineering from 8 universities in Nigeria's Northeast comprised the study's population. Because the total population size was manageable, the study used whole-population sampling. Data was collected using a validated questionnaire. A reliability index of 0.79 was determined using Cronbach Alpha. Mean, and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. The findings revealed that all the electrical engineering lecturers in Nigerian Universities are highly aware of Virtual Laboratories, and all the electrical engineering lecturers in Nigerian Universities rarely utilized Virtual Laboratories. The study recommended that the National University Commission should use all of its resources to promote the development of electrical engineering practicum by providing virtual laboratories to all universities in Nigeria, as the study found that electrical engineering lecturers in Nigerian universities have a high level of awareness of virtual laboratories; in addition to supporting physical laboratories in the universities, the administration should provide for the training of laboratory technicians and electrical engineering lecturers in Nigerian universities on how to effectively use the virtual laboratory facilities for conducting various types of experiments.
