Abstract

Most Statistical procedures require normality of data for a reasonable interpretation and inference. Failure of this assumption invariably undermines the applicability of such data. Using a statistical method that requires normality of the data when the data is not normal will lead to misleading inference. Quite a number of procedures exist in literature in verifying the normality assumption. This paper examines simulated 10,000 normally distributed data and assessed them for normality using Anderson-Darling test (AD-test), Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (KS-test) and Shapiro-Wilk test (SW-test). The results of the analysis show that AD-test outperforms the other two tests. However, for sample size 20 or less, KS-test outperforms the rest. The sum of ranks of type 1 error rate showed that the AD-test is the best because it has the lowest rank sum. It is followed by the KS-test and the SW- test has the largest sum of ranks and hence the poorest. The type 1 error rate of each test does not show any consistent pattern as the sample size increases. Hence, it can be inferred that sample size does not have significant impact on the type I error of a test.

Abstract

This research is an attempt to explore the scientific methodology employed in understanding the Quranic text, as adopted by traditional scholars who uphold the integration of both revelation (naql) and reason (‘aql), in contrast to contemporary modernist reformers who prioritize reason and elevate it above any interpretive tradition. The study asserts that a sound understanding of the Quranic text must be grounded in a balance between transmitted knowledge and rational inquiry. The primary objective of this research is to clarify the methodological approach that should be followed in interpreting the Quran—one that harmonizes revelation with reason. It also aims to examine the rationalist approach of some contemporary scholars, who interpret the Quranic text through a historical and contextual lens, arguing that traditional interpretations are no longer suitable for the modern world due to the evolving circumstances of its audience. According to this perspective, understanding the Qur’an requires a new scientific methodology that connects the text to people’s lived realities and historical contexts. The ultimate aim of such reformers is to approach the Quranic text as a human construct—subject to evolving cultural frameworks and reinterpretation across generations, which constitutes the central problem of this study. The research adopts an analytical and critical methodology, ultimately concluding that genuine understanding of the Quranic text necessitates the integration of both revelation and reason. Sole reliance on reason, divorced from revelation, leads to a flawed and unstable interpretation.

Abstract

This study examines market women’s access to and utilisation of breast cancer prevention information in Ikoka Market, Awka, Anambra State. Adopting a qualitative research approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with 32 market women, selected based on data saturation principles. The findings reveal a high level of awareness of breast cancer but limited knowledge of specific preventive measures. Healthcare facilities, particularly antenatal and postnatal clinics, were identified as the primary sources of information, while mass media played a minimal role. Despite awareness, the utilisation of preventive practices such as breast self-examinations and screenings remained low due to financial constraints, low literacy levels, fear, and economic activities. The study highlights the gap between awareness and actionable knowledge, underlining the need for targeted, community-based interventions. It recommends mobile screening units, simplified health messages, and the integration of breast cancer education into market associations and social gatherings to enhance participation and accessibility.

Abstract

This study investigates Islamic architecture as an integrated civilizational product shaped by a complex interplay of religious, social, political, economic, and environmental factors. The significance of the research lies in highlighting the distinctiveness of Islamic architecture, which is not merely a stylistic or aesthetic accumulation, but a powerful reflection of the Muslim Ummah's identity and interaction with its context. The study aims to analyze how these factors have contributed to the formation of a unique architectural language and to assess the extent of influence from prior civilizations such as the Roman and Byzantine, without compromising Islamic values. The central research question explores whether Islamic architecture can authentically represent the Muslim identity and whether it can serve as a foundation for contemporary architectural practices. Using an analytical and critical methodology, the study examines architectural models in their respective contexts. The findings show that Islamic architecture embodies a balanced civilizational awareness, combining functionality and beauty, and offering environmentally conscious and value-driven alternatives for modern architectural development.

Abstract

The number of maternal deaths worldwide linked to pregnancy and childbirth is high in Nigeria. Meanwhile, attending the recommended number of antenatal care (ANC) appointments may help reduce maternal morbidity and death. This research sought to examine the factors influencing ANC visits in Nigeria. This study employed secondary data extracted from the Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey 2018. A total sample of 21,427 women was included. Data analysis was carried out using the Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial Regression. The level of significance was p < 0.05. Among the participants, 5,337 (24.9%) did not attend any ANC visits. As the number of visits increases, there is a gradual decrease in frequency, with 4 visits being the most common (12.7%). Findings revealed that place of residence, maternal education, insurance coverage, marital status, partner’s education, region, and age of the mother consistently impacted additional ANC visits. While the place of residence, maternal education, insurance coverage, partner’s education, region, and age of the mother impacted zero ANC visits. Policymakers should focus on rural areas and those with lower education levels to improve ANC visits. Furthermore, specific attention should be given to pregnant women over 18 years of age to ensure they receive adequate ANC.

Abstract

This study examined media framing and audience perception of Farmer/Herder conflict in Nigeria with focus on newspaper coverage of the Southern Taraba Crisis 2018-2022. The study was anchored on the Framing Theory and the Social Responsibility Theory to provide a framework for analysis. This study used a qualitative research design with Content Analysis and Survey Method to gather data from 115 editions of two Nigerian newspapers, Vanguard and Daily Trust, published between 2018-2022. The population was chosen through purposive sampling, with a convenience sampling approach used to determine the sample size. Coding sheet was used for content analysis, focusing on media reports on farmers/herder’s conflict. Finding from the study revealed that newspaper coverage of the farmer/herder conflict in Nigeria predominantly employed conflict-escalating frames, such as ethnic blame, victimization, and inflammatory language. The study also found that audience perception of media coverage was largely negative, with many respondents viewing newspaper reporting as biased or sensational rather than balance and fair reporting. Further finding revealed that political pressure and media ownership were identified as the dominant factors shaping conflict coverage in Nigerian newspapers. The study concluded that media coverage played a dual role in either escalating or de-escalating conflicts, depending on the framing strategies employed. It is therefore, recommended among others that media organizations should prioritize peace journalism by emphasizing conflict-sensitive reporting that promotes dialogue, reconciliation, and de-escalation rather than sensationalism and ethnic blame.

Abstract

Enabling Device-to-Device (D2D) communication in next-generation wireless networks faces significant challenges, particularly path-loss attenuation and interference, which degrade network performance. Existing studies suggest that interference management techniques such as resource allocation, spectrum sharing, and power control can improve network efficiency. However, conventional power control schemes require further enhancements to optimize energy efficiency, throughput, and outage probability. This study proposes a modified Power Control Scheme for D2D communication (mPCS-D2D) that leverages a Hierarchical Cluster Algorithm (HCA) to minimize interference by organizing D2D User Equipments (DUEs) into hierarchical clusters. The scheme is evaluated in both general and millimeter-wave (mmWave) mode communications. Performance assessment through simulations demonstrates that mPCS-D2D achieves an average energy efficiency of 29.722 kbps/J with a 46.03% imporvement, a throughput of 135.994 kbps having a 4.77% improvement, and improving outage probability by 41.06%, surpassing the existing PCS-D2D schemes. These results indicate that mPCS-D2D is a viable solution for power control in D2D communications over uplink channels in 5G mmWave networks. improving network efficiency while maintaining fairness. The findings suggest potential applications in optimizing power allocation for future D2D communication scenarios.

Abstract

Epstein - Barr virus has been associated with several types of epithelial carcinomas; it promotes the oncogenic action of cultivated breast cancer cells through stimulation of HER2 signaling cascades. This work was aimed at determining the seroprevalence of EBV and some risk factors associated with the infection in some women suspected with breast cancer attending Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Kaduna state, Nigeria. Serological screening for EBV antibodies was done using Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) IgM. Of the one hundred and seventy eight patient samples, one hundred and seven patients were positive for EBV (60.1%). Highest prevalence of 71.7% was recorded in women in the age group 40-49 years old, 70.5% in women with secondary education. Married women in monogamous marriages had highest prevalence of 65.6% and 69.8% respectively. Highest prevalence of 67.2% was recorded in women who had children; women with 1-5 numbers of children also had highest prevalence of 74%. There was a significant association of EBV IgM seroprevalence (p<0.05) with marital status, having children and also number of children the women had. EBV is believed to be a leading contributor to Hodgkin lymphoma, and significant associations have been found between the frequency of Hodgkin lymphoma and breast cancer, which suggests that EBV may also promote some breast cancers.

Abstract

This study investigates the prevalence, methods, and impacts of vote buying during the 2023 gubernatorial election in Taraba State, Nigeria. Using a descriptive survey research design, the study aimed to examine respondents' attitudes, perceptions, and opinions regarding vote buying. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from a sample of 390 respondents, selected through a multi-stage sampling technique across three senatorial zones in Taraba State. The sample included voters who had participated in the election, with purposive sampling used to ensure representation. The findings reveal that vote buying was a widespread issue, with financial and material incentives, such as cash and gifts, being the primary methods employed by politicians. The study identified several factors contributing to the prevalence of vote buying, including economic hardship, lack of political education, weak enforcement of electoral laws, and low trust in political institutions. Furthermore, the practice of vote buying significantly influenced voters' decisions, with many indicating that financial inducements swayed their voting choices. The study concludes that vote buying undermines the integrity of the electoral process and has serious implications for democratic governance in Nigeria. The researcher recommends strengthening electoral laws, enhancing voter education, addressing economic inequality, and promoting transparency in campaign financing to reduce the prevalence of vote buying in future elections.
